Girls PRAYER Answered.

Kenosha, Wis. - Gladys Roemer,

children do, because she. Is crippled.
When she goes long distances she uses
her "Irish MAIL" little handcar af-
fair which she can operate herself, and
on that she went to st. Thomas church
with her mother. After the services
the little girl returned to the church
steps and the machine was gone. A
youngster, not aware of the conse-
quences of his act. had raced down the
street on 1t, and Gladys was forced to
stay from school. Officer John Breidt
discovered a boy riding on the cart.
The boy admitted he had taken II from
the church and hid 1t in barn near
his home.
The Irish Mail" was returned TO
the little girl. "It came in answer to
my prayers" she said.

American importers now purchasing
goods In England. France and Italy
for shipment to the United States, are
waxing fat as result of the depreci-
alton Of the pound sterling. the franc
and llra. according to stories now go-
ing the rounds Of the New York whole
sale district.
The only "fv In the ointment, for
the American buyers abroad Is the
fact that, by a presidential order sew
eral weeks ago, United States consuls
are required to keep tab on big pur-
chases. ascertain the selling price and
cable these facts to the United States
customs authorities Then. by fgur-
Ing the rate Of exchange on the date
Of purchase. the government is enabled
to set a proper value upon the goods
for the collection Of import duties. A
court OF claims passes upon what are
alleged to be unfair appraisals.
How II Is Done.
The situation is said to be somewhat
like this:
An American buying pound sterling
say. on December IL. needed to pay In
American money only S3.66 for British
currency normally worth about S4.S7.
Now he goes TO a factory In Noting
ham. England, to buy laces. and there,
although prices OF course are higher
than before the war. he pays for them
In this deprecated money and makes
n h.
the laces TO the United States, where
by reason Of the imitation of the Amer
lean dollar, they are retaled for from
100 TO $50 per cent above prewar
prices.
The same importer, on the same
date. we will say. goes to France. IN
Paris he has exchanged his American
dollars for francs. Normally there are
5.1Sh francs TO the dollar. but now he
finds one Yankee "simOleon" will buy
11.52 francs. about GO per cent more
than before the war. The price Of
silks has gone up, but he goes TO Ly-
ons, and there. with his deprecated
French money. he buys more than he
has ever bought before at bargain"
prices. The silks reach New York.
where they are sold to the consumer
at double their former retail price.
Next this importer visits Italy,
where he finds the lira. 5.lSh of
which. like the franc. could be bought
for one American dollar. now at a vast
discount. In fact. he receives I347
Ira for one American dollar and. well
financed. he goes to Naples. where he
negotiates the purchase of tapestries
costing. OF course. more than In 1914.
but In reality cheaper when purchased
with the present italian currency.
The same financial conditions exist
all over Europe. and In the former
central empires, Of course. they are
reported much worse. In. the allied

England eats the larger part of Eu-

England alone consumes 1S0,000,000

comes Holland, which takes $4,000

tional stability and greater ability to
pay. the deprecated money is effect
ing some strange changes. A dinner
which. before the war. in Paris could
be had for nominal sum. now costs
from 20 to so francs.
American manufacturers, mean
while. who desire to sell their products
abroad. are demanding payment in
American dollars at par. Recently the
Belgian government. it is said, bought
20 American locomotives. for which
payment, instead OF being in BELGIAN
money, was demanded in American
dollars, thus adding from Is to 20 per

profit. Naturally this discOurages for.
eign buying.
Cancels Big Orders.
On the other hand. a big American
locomotive concern. apprehensive OF
the turn of political affairs abroad,
due TO delay over the peace treaty, is
reported practically to have cancelled
all foreign advance orders. Such or
ders. calling for delivery In three. six
or nine months, are said to be prac-
tically non-existent in the locomotive
trade. Similar conditions exist in 9th.

manufacturers have been saying: "If
the peace treaty is not soon signed 1t
will mean the complete loss Of our
foreign trade"

prominent United States bankers and

There have been so many attractions

Mr.. Ware Immediately gave notice
that they would certiorari the case to
the Supreme Court to be heard by
Judge Black in order to make a test OF
the legality of the ordinance as it now

POLITICAL NOTES
New County Prosecutor

Governor Edwards has been holding
back the appointments until he saw
what the Republicans Legislators will
do. The first lengthy list on Tuesday
included a new Prosecutor for Salem
County. AS was expected Daniel
Webster Becky, a young attorney at
Monroeville, in Pittsgrove township,
got the appointment to succeed Daniel
V. Summerill, Jr., whose term will ex-
pire April 25th, after five years SER
vice.
Mr.. Beckley has a law office at
Woodbury. and served as Prosecutor of
Gloucester County for a short time af-
ter the resignation of Jos. j. Summer
i'll.
Mr.. Summerill was appointed Prose-
cutor by Governor James F. Fielder,
April 25th, 1915, succeeding j. Forman
Sinnickson. No Prosecutor ever had
the work to do that Mr.. Summerill had
in Salem County, and even in larger
counties. The powder boom brought
hundreds of the criminal class from
all parts of the world and the big
wages they received was more of a
detriment than a blessing.
The usual number of cases consider
ed by the Grand Jury was from 20 to
80, but Mr.. Summerill had from go to
100 cases to consider at one term of
court. He handled the cases mostly
without assistance most creditably.
The court cases T. now back to
normal

Easter Shad Are
Very Scarce
The Delaware Feed Fish Supply
A Thing of The Past. Con-
taminated Water Cause

Fresh, s%ucculent shad caught in the
Delaware river were the spring delight
OF all In this region. A big shad
which would weigh from six to ten
pounds for from twenty-five to fifty
cents was the luscious feast of nearly
every family. But the rapid falling
off of the number of fish caught in the
past six years has made the Delaware
shad a rarity, not only at Easter, but
during the whole season for catching
them from the middle of March to
June 10th.
The prices now paid are from 35 to
so cents a pound.
Only two nets have been drifted off
Penns Grove and with small catches.
On Tuesday Jonas c. Raine caught one
and his son Benz. w. Raine caught one
in another. On Wednesday Jonas
Raine had several fathoms torn out of
his valuable net by a passing steamer.
On Wednesday Benz. Raine caught 7
and On Thursday Z also. Some have
not wet their nets believing it too great
a risk of their valuable nets when there
are so few shad to catch.
The falling off of shad the past few
years Has DeeH ldlu 10 IIST6 causes.
1t has been noticed that since the
Texas Oil Company erected their re-
hnery at Marcus Hook there has been
much oil on the water, either from the
refinery or refuse from the oil ships
which pumped out their tanks.
Since the World War brought the
powder boom there has been much
poisonous chemicals let into the river
and the tar from the Dye Works has
not only poisoned the water, but it
coats all floating debris along the
shore and has made river bathing i'm
possible the past two years.
Not only has the catch of shad
grown smaller in the river, but the
catch in the Bay has become very
small. Few shad get to the head
waters of the river to spawn. The
small fish which hatch use to come
down during the summe along the
shallow water on shere. When the
fry get a gulp of oil, tar, acid or other
poiron they turn up and die.
Some declare the food fish on the
Delaware can be restored, bat others
A 1.-THE changing conditions
brought en- by The greet development
of industries make the waters unfit for
fish 70 live ii. These who want fish
look to the deep sea fisheries for their
brain food supply.
An abundance of Delaware shad is
a thing of the past.

He mushed in over the Broad Pass trail from the end of steel on the coast division. He reports the trail to be in good condition, ex- cept in the neighborhood of Jack river. AS a result of the recent warm spell, the trail for distance of approximately two and a half miles above and the same distance below the Jack River roadhouse was not negotiable, owing to bad over- flows, rather wide detour being necessary to avoid them.
