What is killino The Fish,

Many theories are being advanced
these days as the cause of so many
drad hsh being found In Maryland
waters. Some blame it on munition
tests being carried on by the govern
ment; others claim that they are being
killed by the refuse from saw mills be-
ing dumped into streams, poiluting
the water.
Mr.. Harry NJ. Jones, an experienced
fisherman and watermen, thinks the
cause IL q purely natural one. His
idea Is that most of the fish that are
dying are what are known as "Hard-
heads" or 'Sea Pearch," which are
strictly saltwater fish, which will
not I've in fresh water. He argues
that the heavy rains this spring have
so freshened the water In the smaller
tributaries as 20 render it unlivahle to
the 'Hard-h heads, which require q
salty environment. All that sounds
reasonable until We learn that they
are dying In the Chesapeake Bay,
where the water Is undoubtedly salty,
as bad as in the smaller bays and
creeks. Then again IL Is reported that
dead trout are teing found also, and
We know that the trout will thrive In
any water, so it's wet.
So there you srei We hope the
Conservation Commission will be able
70 solye the problem and, IL possible,
apply remedy. Otherwise the fishing
Industry, o most important one In this
State, Is seriously threatened. !.

Philadelphia, Pa,
May Is, 1919.
On the 23rd day of May, 1919, the
United States Ship Hancock celebrated
the fortieth anniversary OF her launch
ing by having an entertainment and
dance on board. The entertainment
was given by the ladies of the War
Camp Community Service of Philadel-
phia TO the officers and crew of the
Hancock.
The dance was held on the boat deck
which was decorated with flags and
service bars suitable TO the usual oc.
casion. The brilliant affair was the
first OF It's kind since the beginning of
war, and the working of IL was q
credit 70 the crew OF The good shin.
The Hancock, formerly the steamship
Arizona, was built in Glasgow, Scot
land, In 1879, and was at that time the
fastest ship afoat, being the first steel
ship TO cross the Atlantic In seven
days.
On one of her speedy trips, from
England to Nova Scotia, she ran head
long into an iceberg, smashing of
nearly sixty feet OF her bow, and per-
formed the remarkable feat of making
port In her crippled condition, by
steaming aStern 100 miles to Halifax.
She had several such rare experiences
on her record while she was the Ari-
IONA, but this account should pertain
to the Hancock only. The Hancock
was put out of commission in 1909 and
wss made receiving ship at New York,
but at the outbreak of the war was
again commissioned and made a Mar
Inc transport. She was the first ship
10 take refugees from Vera Cruz at the
time OF the Mexican trouble, and was
the first 70 appear on the scene of dis

States entered the war. She made four
trips across during the war, besides
her many trips 70 the West Indies and
ports on the Gulf Of Mexico. On her
first trip 10 France, In June, 1917, she
was attacked twice by enemy SUBJ

A resourceful motorist whose car

ways have TO fall back on q pair OF
mules to get free. For such an emer-
gency the United States Tire Company
offers some suggestions that have
proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car q stack OF
old newspapers. When the car gets
stuck and the wheels refuse to take
hold, feed in some of the old papers
between the tires and the mud. Usual
ly only few will have to be worked
in before the wheels viii begin to grip
and the car start forward. This meth
