BLUE SHARK is A
DANGEROUS FISH
Fishermen Pronounce Him Fighting
Proposition. Have Always Been
With Us and Will Always Attack a
Human Under Certain Conditions.

The presence Of sharks in Northern
waters Of late and the numerous at
lacks they have made upon bathers
caused quite furore in the press. The
fatalities caused by them have evolved
widespread calls for their extermina-
ton, etc, and people seem to be un-
der the impression that sharks in the
North Atlantic are unusual.
Any fisherman who has fished for
time on the grounds off the North
American coast will relate plenty Of
shark stories. To a fisherman, they
are almost as common as dog-fish,
especially in the summer months.
When at sea aboard fishing schooners
in summer, the writer has seen dozens
of them, from the small and active
blue shark to the great "logy' or mud
shark. The blue shark is more to be
feared and have known nervous fish
ermen when in the dory to reach out
and smash Mr.. Blue Dog in the eye
with an oar or a pitch-fork to chase
him away from the boat. It is quite
common thing for these fish to rush at
the trawl as it is being hauled in and
snap a cod, halibut or other fish off the
hook. The mud-sharks often devour
the ash of the hooks as the trawl lays

Pipe MAKERS BUY
MT. LAUREL ROOTS
FROM GOVERNMENT

Washington, Aug. 31.-A sale Of q
large quantity of mountain Laurel
roots from one of the National Forests
in the Southern Appalachians is re.
ported by officials in charge, who say
that the roots will be used to make
pipes.
The mountain -laured rool is similar
in appearance to the French briar,
| which the majority of pipe smokers
are said to prefer. The French briar
is the root of the white heath or
"bruyere. These roots are gathered
in large quantities, and after being
cleaned and sawed into blanks they
are placed in hot water and simmered
for twelve hours or more. This pro.
cess gives them the rich hue for which
the best pipes are noted. 1t is said
that in 1915 the value Of the blanks
shipped to this country was almost
100000, and in addition a large mum.
Der of finished pipes were imported.
On account Of the present scarcity
and high price Of French briar,
number of pipe manufacturers In this
country have been on the lookout for
substitutes, and the Forest Products
Laboratory has conducted experiments
to determine the availability OF Other
woods. 1t is reported that the noun
tain laurel root burns out more readily
than brier, but Forest Service experts
are trying to find a method Of harden
ing the wood, and have succeeded 10
an appreciate extent. They have al
so found that number Of the vad'
Gus kinds Of chaparral which an
abundant in the West give promise OF
yielding material which will be the
equal Of French briar In every way
Other woods now widely used fo'
pipe making are apple wood, red gum
ebony, and birch, together with small
er amounts Of olive wood, rosewood
and Usage orange.
Considerable amounts Of the laurl
roots are being used. and officials e.
pect to make further sales. Tho and'

tent erected on the Monument park
Friday morning, when a large num-
Der Of children assembled to form a

limited to children of IA years and I'M
der and considerable interest was
manifested.

famous in the country. A lecture by
Hon. Joe r. Hanley of Iowa followed

Modern Crusader" and was handled
in an impressive manner.
Lovatt's band appeared again in tho

lowed by clever chara cter impersona-
tions by John B. Ratio, which we're
equally well received.
