Champ Clark likes shirts that have a small red stripe. Not long ago he went into the shop of a Washington haberdasher to buy dress shirt. Se- lecting one. he gave the clerk d S10 bill, and while waiting for his change wandered around looking at the shirts displayed. But let the former speaker tell us about it, says The Nations Business.
 'I found fine shirt with small red stripes and 1 like to wear that kind. During the war you could not get a shirt with red stripes which would not fade. I said to the clerk:
 "'What is the price of that shirt?'

The Minelayinu System.

Admiral William $. Sims writes in the Worlds Work; If you had been following one of the mine layers while it operates, you would probably have been surprised at the apparent sim plicity of the task. The vessel was going at it's full speed; at intervals of a few seconds, huge black objects. about five feet high, would be observed gliding toward the stern; at this point they would then give q mighty lurch, fall head first into the water, sending up great splash, and sink beneath the waves By the time the disturbance was over the ship would have ad- vanced a considerable distance; then, in a few seconds, another black ob- feet would roll toward the stern, make a similar plunge and disappear"

the evening will be Tim Brym's col

Hudson River Shad
Have Started Spring
Run, Nets Are Up

The first run of shad in the Hudson
started this week and the shad poles in
the shadows opposite Edgewater are
now up and raking in the beauties
The catch is not large yet, but will be-
fore another week goes by The shad
season is short, varying from two and
a half to three weeks. These Hudson
good shad are caught in the Delaware,
in Chesapeake bay, the Kennebec river,
the Potomac, the Savannah river and
other tributaries to the Atlantic. Few
shad are caught in the streams flowing
into the Gulf of Mexico.
In former years the finest shad in
this country was supposed to come
from the Savannah river in Georgia,
but later stocking of the Hudson and
other northern streams diSpelled this
idea. There are two main varieties of
the shad species, one is the white shad,
the other known as hickory shad The
hickory shad is the boniest of the finny
tribe, there being literally millions of
small, almost invisible sharp white
bones permeating every particle of the
shad's anatomy. The largest white
shad seldom weigh over six pounds,
and one of this size is not all common.
A seven pound shad is seldom seen,
though some are said to have been
caught They do not readily take
hook, and when they do they show
large fighting instincts. In point of
beauty no fish that swims surpasses
the shad, its silvery scales making it
a wonderfully beautiful and symmetri-
cal fish. And as for flavor, it is as
beautiful as it's extravagant aaa'or.

is approaching and many tests are
being planned and soon the ratings
of the troop will be advanced. With
all the tenderfoots at the beginning of
the year, several have become by now
second class scouts, while many of
the boys have only one or two more
tests to take for the second class rat
ing, so soon they will be taking first
class tests and the varied knowledge
gained by these is remarkable for u

by placing it under the control of poll

Il have read extensively the press

nearly all hours of the day and early
evening. Passengers have come across

Hudson county have taken the same

Strange Story of

On Friday, April 2, Charles T. Lo-
gan of Palisade, deposited a letter in
the Edgewater post office shortly aft
err 6 a. M, handling the envelope to
the mail carrier who drives the wagon
with the early morning mail to New
York. The letter was addressed to
the First National Bank, Edgewater,
and contained $245-a twenty dollar
bill and check for 1925
The Edgewater bank has been in the
habit of sending deposit slip &C.
knowledging these deposits, but moth
ing turning up from this one in par
ticuaar, Mr. Logan made inquiry and
found that it has never been received
On Tuesday last he stopped pay
ment on the check, then visited the
Edgewater post office. One of the
women In charge heard the story Of
the disappearing letter, and called the
attention of the mail carrier to the
matter. The latter said at once he
remembered taking the letter on the
date in question, together with one
addressed to Major S. Wood McClave,

been lost between the post office and
the bank. The post office officials
say that no other letters were miss

OVER $45o,oo0 RAISED
IN STATE FOR NEAR EAST.

Former Governor William n. Run
yon, state chairman of the Near East
Relief, has issued an appeal to the
people of New Jersey to remember that
conditions are little improved in Ar
menia and Syria. Recent massacres
have increased the difficulties of the
relief workers.
while naturally no one can tell at
this moment the exact number of peo-
pie who We're killed during the reign
of terror from January 20 to Febru-
airy 10, our best advices indicate that
at least 10000 had been killed on the
date of our last report" said the state
chairman. How many have been
killed since then or how many were
killed in outlying villages and not re-
ported to our director at Marash there
81, of course, no way of estimating.
$50 far as we know every one of the
Near East Relief personnel have re-
manned faithfully at their posts in
Marash, protecting their helpless
wards"

that nearly $450,000 has been raised in
New Jersey to feed and clothe the
starving orphans. The women's clubs
and public, schools are now aiding the
