Shark Fishing Season.

The best season for catching sharks
seems to be during the cooler months
from October to March. Fishermen
say that sharks are not SO plentiful at
other times of the year.
The flesh, fins. maws, jaws and
other bones, livers and skins all enter
into the commerce of Alden, which is
the center of the shark fishing indus
try. The fresh meat of the smaller
sharks is sold regularly in the fish
bazaar at very reasonable prices to the
poorer classes of natives who cannot
afford other sorts of fish, The meat
is strong, but is said to be quite palat-
able when one is accustomed to eat
ing it. The principal consumers OF
shark meat are the Arabs, although
the native Jews and SomaliS also use
it. The Somali and Arab are Moham
medans and their religion forbids eat
ing the flesh Of any fish that has not
scales. However, the working classes
of natives are SO poor that shark meat
is the only sort of fish they can afford.

Mrs. Hadley was the mother of four
children, two of whom died in child
hood and two of whom are now living,
Mrs. Emily Huntington Emerson, with

Kate L. Selleck, Mrs. William A Shum-
way and Miss Helen F. Emerson, and
two great grandchildren, Francis Cor
don Shumway and Albert Hadley
Shumway.
In the sunset years of her long life
Mrs. Hadley often recounted in an en-
PERTAINING manner many OF the changes
| that have occurred in Brattleboro in
years past. When she was young the
Prospect Hill section was a virgin for
est and the business section consisted
Of only few buildings. On the site
of the present American building stood
the old hotel the American House.

| Chase, stood where Crosby block now
stands. 1T was the most prominent

north, east, south and west put up

When Mrs. Hadlev was a child her
! father died and an uncle in Lynn,
Mass, was appointed her guardian. He
owned a hotel there and once or twice
a year would make the journey TO
Brattleboro to visit Mrs Field and her
daughter, always bringing with him a
present for the girl In the fall that
Mrs. Hadley was 10 years old he wrote
her mother to let the child make the
trip to Boston and said he would meet
her there and take her to Lynn for \
| visit. In the care of a local merchant
who was making his annual trip 4
Boston, she left on four horse stage
at 3 o clock in the morning and arrived
i'll Templeton, Mass, at breakfast
time. She arrived in Boston between
) and 10 o clock that night The iouI
ney IN those days took from II to p
hours. Her uncle met her in Boston
and next morning they went to Lynn
where she made long visit Sht
lourneyed again to Lynn when she. wa

Effects of Eear

The coward on the field of battle
dies many times whether death comes
To him or not.
Not only on the field OF battle do
men suffer fearsome deaths but in
various walks of life. Their fear of
failure makes weaklings Of them, just
rs the fear Of disease renders them 1T
subjects for it.
1t WAS not long since that some
thoughtleg companions of young lady
who had 4 horror of smallpox told her
that she had been exposed to the dis
ease and pointed TO some innocent red
Splotches on her face as evidence that
She was taking it. For days and nights
she suffered from pain and fever and
mental anguish. Upon learning the
facts in the case the physician assured
her that she had not been exposed t.
the disease and that there were ne
symptoms of it. She thereupon took y
turn for the better and rapidly re
gained her health.
This is but one of the constantly re
curing instances OF the effects Of feal
on the mind and through it on TIA,
body.

HE GOT The FANS
Officer Met Objections of His
Superiors in Washington.
Offered to Transfer One of his Heavy
weight Ensigns to Make Room
for Extra Equipment.

When squad of civilian volunteers
went on battleship training cruise,
Lieut.. +. Fl. Roberts one day told them
about service with the destroyers.
No special attempt" he told the
volunteers, lis made in selecting the
men to serve in torpedo craft, wheth-
er they are fat men or lean men, short
men or tall men. The character and
spirit are developed by association af-
ter their arrival. AS a rule, they are
older than the men on the battleships.
"You all know that one of the char
acteristics of a destroyer is ability to
make high speed. To this end it has
always been the policy of the naval
constructors to keep fittings of the
vessel strong but of light weight. No
chances We're ever lost by the naval
constructors in Tightening the destroy
ers by removal OF any fittings that
they considered unnecessary"
To illustrate: A fiotilla Of Destroy
ers was dispatched from the Atlantic
coast TO the Philippines via San Juan,
the Azores, the Mediterranean, the
Suez canal, Indian ocean and the West
Indies.
1t so happened that on one Of these
deStroyerS the commanding officer was
man weighing go pounds. His two
assistants, both then ensigns, each
| weighed well over 200 pounds. Out OF
half-doZen chief petty officers three
of thnD1 hao "A 80 hg
rest of the crew were two others of
the same avoirdupois.
Upon arrival in the Philippines the
weather was hot and sultry, the sun
/ keeping the decks of the vessel warm
! adding another torment.
The vessels original allowance list
had included one electric fan, so the
commanding officer submitted requ
sition requesting that fan be fur
| niShed for the wardroom. and one IL
each compartment in which the crew
We're quartered, total of five fans.
The request in due time reached
| Washington, and some three month,
later was returned disapproved as the
bureau did not wish to add any TN
necessary weight TO the vessel for feal
of reducing its speed.
Nothing daunted, the commandin!
officer returned the requisition with
statement thereon of the weights o
himself, his two commissioned assist
ants and other members Of the crew
and requested that one of these heavy
weights be transferred and that mar
weighing about $50 pounds he sent II
his place.
The fans were forthcoming and nc
body was transferred. Since that tim
electric fans are among the few com
forts found on destroyers.

 ness were not entirely successful. At
 Al Broad street, where he had an of- flee, a clerk told reporters that he did not know what Timrn erscheid's busi- ness was. The office itself appeared to be too small in which to carry on very extensive business, and it was later explained that it was used main ly as place to receive mall and keep records.
 Officials of Ladenburg, Thalman & Co. explained that since 1909 they had very little to do with Timmerscheidt. "Richard Timmerscheidt was in our employ in our foreign exchange de- partment, from 1906 to 1909, when he had an opportunity to improve his position" statement issued by the company read He became manager of the German Asiatic bank, Hong kong branch. MT. Timmerscheidt was visiting this country at the out break of the war. He had small personal account with Us, and these are the only business relations we have had with him since August, 1914. At the outbreak of the European war. in August, 1914, due to the fact that one of our partners .is an Eng fish subject, we abstained from all credit business with German banks, and. in accordance with this policy we have not since handled the business of the German-Asiatic bank or any other institution with which MT. Tim m merscheidt was connected"
 An effort to obtain from Trimmer scheidts friends an explanation of his act was not successful It was learned that he had for many years been . member of the German club, but no one there knew anything of his af- fairs or his relations to German bus mess or banking institutions.
 Timmerscheidt. it was explained, had, because of his business relations been on intimate terms with Hugo Schmidt, director of the New York branch of the Deutches bank, who ob- tained considerable publicity, because of his attempt to buy up the output of the Camden Iron Works, but was said to have taken no part in the plot

PERMANENT ROADS BUILT FROM RUINS
Soldiers Constructing Highways

 Behind the British Lines in France. July 6.-Hundreds of miles of the smooth white macadam roads of Northern France will remain for many years after the war as a real memorial to thA devastated towns which the Germans left in ruins aft CT their retreat this spring.
 All over Northern France the roads are being widened and resurfaced with stone and rubble taken from the wrecked houses of Peronne, Albert. Arras and countless other ruined towns and villages. As fast as the British soldiers clear away the debris of the towns, it istpiled into lorries and distributed in heaps along the main road. There German prison CTS toll the day long pounding 1t, into level patches which the great steam rollers, many of them bearing fa- miliar American names, grind chick ly into smooth macadam fdE the business of transport. fges
 The brick and stone of these old buildings makes as good road ma- terial as could be obtained anywhere, and the work of the German dyna- miter has been so thorough that much of 1t is crushd fine enough to need no further preparation.
 The roads of Northern France were always excellent, but they were never better than today. The only com plaint travellers had against them was that the paved strip in the cen- ter, was too narrow That com plaint cannot be made after the Brit ish highway plans have been com pleted, for all the fnain highways will be macadamed to a width permit ting three broad-gauge lorries to run abreast, and even the byways will have a paved surface wide enough to allow traffic to pass easily at any point.
 Excessive dustiness is the only fault of the roads today, for war eco- monies will not permit the use of precious oil on roadways
 There is little need anywhere in this district for straightening roads or altering routes, because the roads or Northern France mostly run straight as an arrows flight Most of the great highways were laid out i'm Napoleon's time by military survey ors, and their strategic value and im- portance has always been kept primar- lily in mind by the French govern ment-

CENSORSHIP REMOVED.

The public information committee an nounced that the emergency having passed" the war department would permit cable matter to go directly to the press associations or newspapers
 In addition to this the com mittee on public information called the at tention of the newspapers to the following precautions:
 "1. Information tending directly or indirectly to disclose the number or identity of troops in the expedition arv force should not be printed.
 "2 Only names of staff officers may be used. Names of land officers, also reference to individual units. should not be printed.
 "3. Information calculated to dis close location of permanent base should not be printed.

knew the secret point of rendezvous where the fleet that carried Pershings s men would meet Admiral Sims de- stroyers. Yet Germany knew all this, and acting upon this knowledge, sent lotila of submarines against the American forces.
 The question now arises, Where did the Imperial Government get hold of this information?" It is answered only in the abstract: "Through the German Spy System in America" That answer will not suffice the American people who want to know how long these activities of German spies are going to go on here unmo- tested. There will be some relief to know that the Government has al- ready started an active campaign against German spies. The de- spatches from Washington yesterday stated that if the governments activi- ties against spies in the United States startle the world. For obvious reasons the Secret Service cannot tell what 1t Is doing; but there is a great way of finding out it's good work, and that is by results. If in the future the German Government is not made aware of the sailing of American troops and these troops are not met upon the high seas because of pre- pared instructions sent from this country we shall know that the spies have been suppressed. There will be attacks upon American troop ships by German submarines. That Is to be expected but there should be such rigid censorship of cables and mail and wireless and every other means of conveying information that such at- tacks cannot be planned days and weeks ahead of time and according to schedule. Given a fair fight with German submarines American gum ners will take care of themselves al- though they cannot be, expected to always successfully combat thieves that come in the night. <.
