NO MORE MUSIC AND =
MONKEY IF THIS is DONE

Goodby to. the hurdy gurdy The
Young Mems Italian association Of
Albany, N. Y, has asked the legisla-
ture to pass a bill declaring the
practice of organ grinding to be "a
public nuisance"
1--WE feel" explained Frank Rug
geri, president of the association
that the abolition Of organ grinding
will tend to place the Italian race in
a better light before the American
people. The business is so low that
those who participate In it are vast
ing valuable time. We know they
are capable of better work
''It is a misconceived idea that or
gan grinders and women helpers
exist in Italy. AS a whole, our peo-
pie have trades, and those who have
not are at least good, farmers. In
seeking to do away with this business
and helping organ grinders to seek
higher fields it will mean better citi-
zenship and the preservation Of our
women's dignity

SEVEN ECLIPSES, FULL
SET, IN 1917

There will be seven eclipses in 1917,
the largest number possible in II
months and a combination that has
not occurred fon[ more than a century.
Four are due Tor the sun and three
are credited to the moon. The last
year in which there were seven
eclipses, four in solar and three lunar,
was 1905.
The calculations of Oppolza which
account for the disappeafances Of sun
and moon occurring between 1000 B.
g. and 2160 A. D. show that from
the coming OF the Christian era until
the year 2160 there should be thirty
two Of these unusual eclipse seasons,
which means that about one year in
20 has seven such manifestations,
thereby showing that there is power
in the magic mineral seven. The re-
currences are not at regular intervals,
as between two of the sevenfold years
there is an interval Of more than two
centuries. There will be two more
of these years in the next century and
a half.
!. Time Of Eclipses.
The first eclipse Of the moon in
1917 took place at 1880 o'clock on
the night Of Jan. 7.
This eclipse was fully visible in
Washington and over a large area in
the western hemisphere. The begin
ming was visible in central and west
ern Europe, northwestern Africa and
central and eastern portions of the
Pacific ocean.
A partial eclipse Of the sun occur
red on Jan. %, invisible in this coun-
try.
The other disappearances Of the
luminariesN for 1917 are arranged on
the following schedule:
A partial eclipse of the sun June
1919; invisible at Washington.
A total eclipse Of the moon on July

ADJUTANT DERMODY
AIDS CAMPAIGN OF
THE SALVATION ARMY

Adjutant William Dermody, for
many years prominent in athletic cir
Giles in New York, came here from
Boston today to assist the Salvation
Army in it's final effort to raise the
money needed to pay the cost of it's
proposed new building on Elm street.
Adjutant Dermody was for some time
announcer and trainer at the Green
wood Athletic club in Brooklyn and
he has presided at numerous boxing
bouts
In his youth Adjutant Dermody es-
tablished himself in business as
news and cigar vendor. Terry Nc
Govern, the famous fighter, was one
of Mr.. Dermody's boys. McGovern
used to carry papers and do other
work assigned him by Mr.. Carmody.
Later, Mr.. Dermody interested him
self in athletics and gained consider
able popularity in the clubs Of Goth
am.
His conversion and subsequent
connection with the Salvation Army
was one of the events of the time
The sport writers of the big dailies of
New York featured him and the Sun
day magazines gave his conversion
almost as much space as they now
devote to the war. His old pals,
among whom were prominent boxers,
trainers and managers, took him SER
iously and treated him with the ut
most courtesy. He often addressed
the men from the ringside and after
his address, those who knew him
when living the old life, would pelt
him with quarters, half dollars and
money Of other texture and denom-
ination.
Adjutant Dermody says he is a pro-
duct of the Bowery. His old friends
said he was always on the square. He
was not ~"down-and-outer," but sac
rificed good job for the Army work.

CONNECTICUT OYSTER
CROP WILL BE SHORT

Reports from oyster growers of the
state indicate that there will be a
serious shortage of marketable <oys-
tiers during the rest Of the season. AL
ready some of the opening houses
have closed for the season owing to
the shortage. According to oyster
farmers, the lack of oysters lis largely
due to the poor sets experienced dur
ing the past few weeks. Oyster ship
pers say that they are hard hit, as
they needed to run their plants
through the season to recover for
losses sustained by what they say was
Improbable business during the last
three years.
The quality Of oysters/i is said to be
good at the present time, but oyster
growers say that the prospect for
quantity in Connecticut. is poor for
the future The set in Connecticut
has been small for the past two years.
Oyster farmers insist that the oyster
industry is rapidly declining in
Rhode Island and Connecticut.

ONLY 40 SHEEP LEFT
OF FLOCK OF OOOO

Wyoming and Idaho are not the
only states to suffer losses In the
wool and mutton industry. One of
the heaviest individual losses is re-
ported from Miles City, Mont.
Last fall flockmaster OF that
place owned 5000 sheep, which he
drove into winter quarters several
miles from Miles City. A large guam
tity of feed had been provided, esti-
mated to be plenty to winter the
sheep, but after IA feet of snow
covered the ground over the two
md one-half miles that separated
The sheen from-mUre reed, It was dis
covered that the supply on the
ground was inadequate, as the range
was entirely covered with snow to
great depth, and there was nothing
to depend upon but to feed supply
ON hand, with no hope of getting
more. The rations of the animals
were cut down from time to time,
and the sheep became weaker and
weaker.
Reports last week were that this
flock of 5000 had dwindled to Just
40 animals. and the range was
covered with dead sheep. Another
part of the story is that this sheep
owner last fall negotiated a loan of
$4,000 from a Miles City bank, and
gave a mortgage upon the sheep.
Another story from the same dis
trict 10 that another flock was ma
rooned in q protected hollow, with
out feed, and snow had drifted over
the pass to the depth OF 20 feet for
a distance of one-fourth mile. AL
gang of 100 men was employed to
dig away the huge drifts, and as
they broke through the last of the
snow 81 sledloads OF baled hay rush
ed to- the rescue OF the animals,
which could not have survived many
hours longer.
