Another Side Of
The New Maine
Lobster Fishing Law

V. l.. King. a lobsternsn Of the
Maine coast has sent i'll the following
self explanatory communication in
reply to a letter recently written by
Commissioner erie. respecting the
opera ton of the new ( lobster law
passed by the present legislature:
In your issue of July Z, Commits
sioner erie answers protests of those
who dislike the lobster law.
II have talked with a number OF
summer visitors and they all seem to
be of one mind, and that is if the
State of Maine passes and enforces
such laws it.will drive them to some
other State where they encourage and
favor the summer visitor to invest
their money and get value received
AS Commissioner erie says there are
thousands Of cottages along The Maine
coast and they cost from million
dollars down. One OF the attractions
are the fresh fish for eating and the
pleasure of catching the same. | find
right in this neighborhood that two
summer visitors that have invested
some $4,000 are offering their proper
" for sale at less than half of the cost
with no takers. The law will surely
drive more or less of the c0ttagers
that are located on the islands along
the coast and the fine cottages will go
into decay. Resultant taxes, and
thousands of dollars spent locally will
go into some other state.
Commissioner erie said that every
lobster that the summer people catch
makes a hole in the fishermen's pock
cts and takes just so much from their
families. Now then in this town nine
out of every ten lobster fishermen are
employed through the summer
months to sail their yachts or are en-
ployed around their cottages The lob
ster fisherman has a clean easy Job
for three months and has a good
chance to rest up and is fresh to start
in at his hard work lobster fishing in
the fall.
According to Mr. Cries statement
the lobster fishermans family often
worry because they don't know where
their next meal is coming from. and
that the people that live in the CITY
are much better off: the fact of the
case is man for man the lobster fish
ermen are better off financially!
They own good homes and fine boats
and / know one man, and no doubt
there are others. that has a nest egg
of $4,000. good home, auto and 81 600
boat. made practically all by lobster
fishing and sailing summer people.
The light keepers think it an I'M
just law for they like to make a few
extra dollars SO that they and their
families can have some of the com
forts that otherwise they would have
TO 90 without. Their life is an iso-

Ia Ted one, and GoinG lobster fishing
breaks up the m0notony Of being
a.one SO much.
In regard to taking home short
Holsters Nr. Cries statement says
that it m3kos a difference of 1858 for
each man per year. Allowing those
figures as correct they are getting
their food cheap. Halibut is retailing
at 80 cents per pound, the very lowest
cuts of meats are from 80 to 60 cents
The only real gain is what the lob
ster gains in weight after shedding its
she'll a very small amount Lots of
the fishermep are graduated from
high schools and some are college
graduates and figures must not de-
ceivc. ! am not advising the fisher
men TO save short Holsters but to go
according TO law. 1t will he the
quickest way to have the law changed
to q Just law.

and sold Holsters, a part of the time,

TRAPS" FOR BANK ROBBERS
All Sorts Of ingenious contrivances
Designed to Guard Financial In
situations From Criminals.

Bank robbing has become so pop
ular a sport with daring criminals
nowadays precautions are taken
which would not have been thought
of few years ago. Bank employees
are regularly drilled for action in
case of a holdup or a raid, the in
slant performance of certain duty
by each man being required.
As a result, in a number of recent
instances daring attempts at rob
berry nave resulted in the capture of
the bandits.
The latest idea in this line for
the protection of banks is a system
of automatic doors which may be
closed at moments notice by push
ing any one of a number of buttons
distributed through the bank. By
this means the enterprising bandits
may be shut in and actually made
prisoners, while simultaneously an
alarm summons the police. Expert
ence has shown that the boldest
burglar, once trapped and unable to
escape, becomes terrified and harm
less, submitting readily to arrest.
One bank in New York city has
both its inner and outer doors
equipped with the automatic closing
mechanism, SO that off the robber
reaches the outer doors the inner
ones shut behind him and he is
trapped in the vestibule.

YOUR HOSE MILEAGE.

Girls! What mileage does your
hose yield on the waxed floor of
your faYorite dancing palace?
Fifteen miles on one pair of or
binary silk hose is the record estab-
lished by Mrs. Laura Phelan, for
mer instructor in dancing for the
Detroit recreation commission.
She has figured it all outflow
many steps she takes during an or
binary dance, and the length Of each
step.
The average working girl who
visits public dance an evening or
two a week dances three miles on
each such occasion, Mrs. Phelan
says. Figured on that basis, girl
can attend five dances with one pair
of stockings.
If a dancer can get Is miles out
Of pair Of stockings, the average
woman should be able to walk As
miles before they are worn out, Mrs.
Phelan believes.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES

Nezperce women know how the

Pills are for the kidneys only. They

The Key That Unlocks the Door
to Long Living.

The men of eighty-five and
ninety years of age are not the
rotund, well-fed, but thin, spare
men, who live ON slender diet.
Be as careful as he will, how
ever, a man past middle age will
occasionally eat too much or of
some article of food not suited to
his constitution, causing indiges-
ton or constipation and will need
a does of Chamberlain S Tablets
to move his bowels and invigor-
ate his stomach. When this is
done, there is no reason why the
average man should not live to

NEW LIGHT ON POCAH0NTAS
Was Actuated only by Childish Aztec
tion When She Saved Life of
Captain Smith.

Popular belief is that the beauti-
full Indian princess, Pocahontas, was
more than a bit in love with Capt.
John Smith, and that it was this
love that saved his life when her ia
Their, Powhatan, ordered his brains
dashed out, says the Detroit News.
The story is that Pocahontas threw
herself on the captains PROSTATE
body and gathered his head in her
arms so that the clubs could not fall
without killing her. This story has
some foundation, only Pocahontas
at the time of the rescue, 1903, was
but ten years old, and whatever love
she may have had for Smith was
strictly an affection of a child for
grown-up relative.
Poeahontas married an Indian
chief when she became fourteen
years old, but was captured when
she was sixteen by the English and
taken to Jamestown, where she mar
ried John Rolfe without taking the
trouble to divorce her Indian mate.
She was much in love with him, and
bore him son. Descendants Of that
son are still living in Virginia and
are very proud of their beautiful In
dian ancestor. Pocahontas died fol-
lowing a visit to England as her re-
turning ship cleared Gravesend
