PANAMA CITY.

Panama City, April 19-Monday
was the "banner day in the fish in
dustry this season so far, as there
were over 10000 pounds brought by
the st. Andrews Bay Fish Company
during the morning. Judging from
reports from along the bay, business
is booming and the fishermen are all
getting good price.
A tarpon weighing 55 pounds was
caught in the nets of J. E. Rodgers,
which was brought here and is quite
curiosity.
]. ]. Sawell claims to have broken
the record, as he brought in mackerel
and trout which tipped the scales at
1868 pounds Monday morning.
Interesting Invention.
Our jeweler; S. c. Campbell, has
invented torpedo of small dimen-
sions which are to be carried by air
men, for the purpose of destroying
smaller war craft, such as destroyers,
torpedo boats, submarines, and will
do great damage to larger vessels.
Mr.. Campbell's invention will reach
them under water as well as on the
surface, and no doubt the torpedo
would be of much service to the
United States if our government sees
fit to use it as 25 or 80 can be car
ried by one airplane.
1t is understood that in the very
near future that Panama City is to
have free mail delivery. No doubt
but what this City of Destiny will
make some of her larger sisters sit
up and take notice long before the
predicted time Of her debut into the
so-called city list.

WOMEN CANNOT Be.
ENLISTED IN THIS.
DIST RICT OF NAVY.

Women of the south and south
west, who so quickly and nobly re-
sponded to the announcement made
by the Secl etary of the navy that the
navy department has arranged to
use their services in the yeomanry
branch of the service for land duty,
in order that just that many more
young men might be available for the
country's military forces, unfortu-
nately cannot be enrolled at the
present oI in the near future in the
Eight naval district This district,
comprising the states of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee,
Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and
the western part of Florida, has
small naval activities, requiring only
small number of clerks within its
confines.
These positions have already been
filled, and it is therefore impossible
to utilize the services which these
patriotic women were SO prompt to
tender to their government in it's
time of stress.
The department has also instruct
ed the naval authorities not to enroll
nurses for naval war service, having
made other arrangements for the
care of its sick and wounded sailors,
and it is therefore impossible for the
commandment of the Eighth naval dis
trict to utilize the services of the
women who desire to enroll as nurses.
The above statement was made in
communication received from the
commandant of the Eighth naval dis
trict, whose headquarters are at the
