HUNGRY SHARKS PLAY
HAVOC WITH ENORMOUS
SHOAL OF OCEAN MULLET

Yesterday afternoon off the iron
pier at the Breakers was observed an
immense school of mullet-possibly a
space of an acre being so thickly pop
ulated that it seemed with much diff
fculty the fish could move. While
they were moving as in one solid
mass there came along five large
sharks-and Immediately havoc and
tdmult ensued. The sharks tore mad
le at the mullet the water was in
many spots beaten into foam and
mutilated and torn fish floated in
great numbers upon the surface OF
comparatively quiet waters. For more
that thirty minutes this combat was
carried on, and many of the mullet
were actually driven on the shore in
their efforts to escape from their pur-
suers whose. appetite was apparently
not to be satiated. There were numer
GUS spectators of this attack by the
quintet of sharks.-Palm Beach Post

AGE NO DRAWBACK TO SERVICE

"There is no such thing as re-
tired patriot One is never too old to
render some service to ones coun-
try"
This sentiment of Mrs. Richard
Flower, "a years old, has impelled
her to become one of the leading
Red Cross workers of New Orleans,
Since the declaration of war she has
knitted a dozen sweaters, eight pairs
Of socks, and many helmets, mufflers,
and washcloths. The Red Cross au-
thorit,es highly praise Mrs. Flowers
industry and say that her example
has been invaluable She not only
works every day at the production of
Red Cross articles, but also keeps
abreast of the war news in the pa
pers. She has assisted in several
entertainments for the benefit of the
Red Cross
Mrs. Flower has reared family
of FIVE sons and three daughters. One
of her sons was the late Mayor Flow

Jacksonville, Fla, April 3O.-Owing
to the fact that the Home Guard Or
ganizations Of Florida have contribut'
ed many enlisted men to the Regular
and National armies, also to the In
terest manifested by officers OF bat
talions and companies in recruiting
work, Lieut.. M. ]. De Priest, recruit
ing officer for Florida, has issued the
following letter of appeal to these
officers:
Recruiting Station, y. s. Army,
1857 West Bay Street.
Jacksonville, Fla, April rs, 1918.
Dear Shiny attention has been
repeatedly called to the fact that Off
GERS of the Home Guard organizations
in Florida have for months been ac-
tive in the important work of encour-
aging eligible members Of their or
CARNATIONS to enlist in the Regular
@" National armies for the war pc
riod. This attitude is, indeed, COM
mendable and it Is also natural with
patriotic men who have had military
experience and who are barred from
active service by age, dependents or
other causes.
AS you undoubtedly know, the eX.
igencies of war are still causing the
government to call for physically
qualified men of from Is to q and 81
t., Al years for all branches Of the
service. They are needed badly, and
you doubtless know that at no time
has the enlisted man been held in
higher esteem or encouraged to ad-
vance more rapidly in rank and pay
This applies to blacks as we'll as
whites.
Men are continually leaving the
Home Guard organizations and en-.
listing, and those who have the ad.
vantage of being trained in these or.
CARNATIONS by men of ability and ex.
perience are, indeed, fortunate.
There may be some men in your or
carnations who are "halting between

.EFFIE SHANNON in CHER BOY"
AT THE CASINO WEDNESDAY

Effie Shannon is an American by
birth, claiming Boston as her native
city. She went on the stage as
child playing Little Eva in Uncle
Toms Cabin" She has always been
identified with the best and most dig
nified dramatic endeavor on the
American stage, and takes the lead
ing part of Helen Morrison in Me-
tro's patriotic production, Her Boy"
"Her Boy is a great message of
patriotism in line with Metros consis-
tent policy of aiding the government
in every possible way to light the
torch of patriotic fervor and keep it
flaming. Lovely Fife Shannon and
Niles WEIGH are co-starred in the
production, but other parts are of
great strength and value, and the hu-
man element of the story itsele is Of
the utmost Importance in "Her Boy
"Her Boy" illustrates the way in
which the war comes home to fam
lilies. It shows the torturing sacrifices
mothers must make to send their sons
away, but it shows also that duty to
the nation and devotion to the right
lie deep in the heart of every right
minded American boy. BY every
means in her power Helen Morrison,
in "Her Boy" tries to keep "her Boy
from entering the service, only to
find that her most extreme measure
her last card" is the very one that
convinces him that enlistment Is a
necessity, and a glorious privilege,
In advertising "Her Boy" you can
emphasize the mother element-the
mighty spiritual and mental struggle
that is going on in the hearts OF
American homes.

birmingham Ledger.)
To predict trouble is the easiest
form of prophesying and the most OBJ
iectionable. AS the war goes on II
touches more pockets and gets near
many reserve funds. When that is
true many men fear for the future.
Men are writing that there may be
serious money troubles after the war
Sure there may be and there may not
lhe. The public debts of the nations
will be large, but they do not have
ito be paid. Only the interest must
be paid.
Instead of woe and generalization
when the war is ended, there will be
the busiest times ever known. All Eu-
rope will have to be rebuilt, thou
sands of square miles in France will
have to be graded and smoothed for
agriculture. Millions of houses will
! have to be rebuilt, or Dullt. NO man
need be idle in Europe for two years
In the United States our mills and
factories will be as busy as now for
two years at least. All the world
needs what we can produce All the
world has to be fed while it works
Our farmers will have to raise food
for Europe. During those first two
years of peace, with every man busy
the world will adjust itself. There
will be no money panic, there will be
no riot of crime. The rehabilitation
will be peaceful and will begin the
week the war ends.
The first reforms will be started
even before the peace treaty IL
signed. The fact is the world viii
make a new start, and be glad to OBJ
literate all signs Of devastation.
