WHITE SLAVE RING REVEALED
Said to Have Taken 1000 Girls Every
Year to South America.

New York-Amazing revelations of
the working of Ruenos Aires white
slave ring that requires 1000 girls
every year have been uncovered here
Senator Jose Del Campo, formerly
Chilean consul at Mobile, Ala. cor
roborated and expanded the exposures
made by Miss La Rue.
The system is the selling OF 1000
girls each year through a syndicate Of
rich men-many of them millionaires
in Buenos Aires. The former con-
sui asserted these girls were sold for
from $1,000 to $4,000 each. Before the
war, he declares, 10 per cent were
sent from the United States by clever
cadets. Last year, according to his
story, ga per cent. or 5000 of the girls,
were imported by South America from
the United States.

To Eat While Fishing.

The fisherman need not lose any
time from his sport in order TO eat,
but may have his hands free for at
tending TO his needs If he is equipped
with the new fishing harness described
I'm the Popular Science Monthly. This
harness supports the fishing pole in the
proper position for the line to make
catch, and the fisherman need not hold
his arms In one position until they are
cramped and aching while he is wait
ing for a fish to find his bait.
The device includes body belt hav-
ing socket which receives the butt
of the fishing pole. A second socket
on the belt supports bracket arm
which extends part way out under the
pole and in turn provides support or
rest for it. A body strap and chain at
tached to this brace, affords all the adj
ditional support necessary. Equipped
with this device the fisherman may
enjoy his fishing uninterruptedly.
