SEA TURTLES TO BE USED
TO HELP WIN THE WAR

st, Petersburg, Sept. 19.-Two sea
turtles were captured by Captain J.
F. Beard end Verne Goodwin yester-
day In Papy's bayou. They weighed
500 and 400 pounds respectively. The
turtles were captured alive and the
fishermen, or more properly the tur.
tlemen, have their prizes at Pier No.
38 in the yacht basin. The large
amount of meat they will furnish will
not be wasted, but will be sold as
steaks and stew meat. Turtle steaks
are regarded as the last word In
goodness by those who are accus-
toned to eat them.
Papys bayou is long, shallow
bayou running inland several miles
from Old Tampa bay. The mouth Is
located about five miles north of the
municipal pier At this time of year
the huge sea turtles work up In the
bays and bayous along the coast. The
greater part of the year they live in
the gulf. Captain Beard is familiar
with the habits Of almost everything
that lives in these waters and sever
al weeks ago he harpooned and cap
tured large turtle in Tampa bay sin
gle-handed.
In years past Clearwater was one
of the largest shipping points In this
country for sea turtles. Their pur-
suit and capture was an organized In
dustry. Special nets and gear were
used and men made living captur-
ing turtles just as nowadays they
make an occupation of fishing for
mullet or other fish. One of the
greatest enemies of the turtle hun
ter was the sawfish and shark, which
frequently would destroy many dol
lars worth of net in a few seconds.

JAPAN WILL PUSH
AVIATIONDEVELOPMENT
(By Associated Press.l

A British Naval Air Force Base in
England, Sept. 19.--The destruction
of German destroyer by a British
seaplane is graphically told by Cap
tain Paul Bowsher, who observed the
unusual occurrence from the cock
pit Of fast British bombing plane.
He was flying off the Belgium
coast when he saw two British ma
chimes in front of him.
Suddenly" he writes, "the front
machine turned to the right and be-
gan to fly towards the coast. Its oc-
cupants had evidently seen something
OF importance. Looking below, | saw
few miles from the eebrugge mole
six little shapes which seemed sta
tionary on the gray sea.
"They were German destrcyers
which in reality were steaming at top
speed toward the coast. Gradually
the seaplanes drew nearer and near
er, and soon were but a few miles
from the land.
Near the front machine appeared
a small black ball of smoke. Another
appeared, and another, and | could
hear the sharp crack of bursting
shells.
Now, however, they were almost
over the destroyers which were be-
ginning to zig-zag as the danger Of
the coming attack was realized.
II saw six black cylinders drop spin
ming from the front machine. Near the
destroyers appeared the white smok
and spray of a bomb. Another fol
lowed, and another. Then on one
of the destroyers great red fash ap'
peared and the center of the boat was
left clouded in smoke. It's attackel
had scored one direct hit.
81 shouted excitedly to the pilot as
one of the destroyers dropped out 0,
line and made swiftly for its mortal
ly wounded consort.
"The airplanes returned to report
A patrol returning a few hours Later
stated that they had seen five German
destroyers returning toward ostend
BY then, the sixth, torn and shattered
lay with many another twisted anC
rusted companion, under the sea.

OF Lempire, four miles west OF Leca-
telet and Gauchie wood were cap
tured. After an intense lombard
ment on the front between Gouzeau-
court and Arras-C Cambria, the enemy
delivered a strong infantry attack on
a wide front northward from the vi

INDIAN WOMAN
GIVES $500 OF HER $5t3
TO RED CROSS

Salt Lake City, Sept. 19.-Peretta,
rs years old, whose chief at one
time controlled big faction OF the
Ute Indians, has given her fortune
to the Red Cross. AS some fortunes
go, her donation wasn't much, but
Peretta had $513 to her credit with
Albert H. Kneale, superintendent of
the Unitah Indian reservation In
southern Utah, and she gave the Red
Cross $500 and kept $13 for herself.
Mr.. Kneale, after addressing the
Utes recently on the Red Cross
needs, concluded his remarks with
the question: How much will you
give?"
Scores of hands shot up into the
air. each showing one or two, fingers
hidden, those outstanding to indicate
the size of the contributions. One
finger meant $40, two fingers $40, ac-
cording to the word signs of the
Utes.
From the gnarled fist of Pe-retta
five knotted fingers confronted Super
intendent Kneale. Her subscription
was entered at $50. A few days later
Pe-retta limped to the Indian Agency
to fill out the Red Cross contribution
card and when she saw that only
$50 was called for she became most
indignant and told the superintedent
she wished to contribute $500
But you have only s51S to your
credit" Mr.. Kneale told her.
