broad head. tapering body and wide
mouth. and its teeth are unlike those of
any other variety. the same in upper
and lower jaw. These teeth are roughly
saw-edged, with a pointed tip turned
obliquely to the side The tiger shark
is ordinarily marked with dark stripes
and spots like water silk
mo shark is gentle by nature. and.
it is best not to NEEDLE with them.
Nevertheless, those which are found in
the waters near New York are usually
pretty harmless. Some five years ago
there were several fatalities here from
shark attacks, and it is notable that
that same season is the only one in
which the white shark, or true man
cater. is known to have occurred here
This latter is comparatively heavily
built. powerful fish with broad triangu-
lar teeth edged like n bread knife. and
the upper and lower flukes of IT'S forked
tail fin of approximately equal length.
1t is everywhere rare. but it is supposed
that an occasional individual of the
species acquires the practice of regularly
hunting swimmers for food. Those who
have made a study of the matter esti-
mate that ones chance of being attacked
by a shark is about equal to being struck
by lightning.
Sharks are most abundant in the
tropics. They like warm weather and
the sun. and it is on calm. Sultry days
that they are most likely to appear about
ships at sea. Most of the species which
visit New York do so in the summer
time and when the sea water is at its
warmest. Nevertheless, there are some
species that are confined to the cold
waters of the north. and one big slug
gish variety, known as the sleeper
shark. frequents the edges of the ice
foes. Only two kinds are likely to reach
a length of over 20 feet. Both have
enormous mouths, but are non-preda-
cious. living ON a diet of very small ami
mails which they find in great abundance.
One of these is the basking shark of the
north and the other the whale shark,
the natural habitat of which appears to
be the Indian ocean, though it has sew
eral times reached the shores of Florida.
THE whale shark is beautifully
marked with light colored stripes and
spots"

SHARK SEASON AT HAND
Persons Attacked as Often as Struck by
lightning

Fishermen and other followers of the
sea report that sharks have again made
their appearance in New York waters.
This is not strange, since during the
summer months several species of sharks
are to be found in local waters.
"Once more the shark season is ut

department of recent fishes at the Alu-
scum of Natural History. I'm any of

able atmosphere of mystery and suspl-
cion behind.
.s'The probabilities are that it will
have been a ground shark engaged in
nothing more criminal than nosing fiat
fish. which it locates by its keen sense
of smell when they are lying on the
edge of some mud or sand fiat. Good
sharks are common in these waters eacn
summer; mature female fish. six or seven

young in quiet inshore waters at that

EMPIRE STATES
INCOME LARGEST
of National IHc0me-Nevada
the Lowest State

NEW YORK, July l0-New York
leads the states with a total income of
$9,074, S59, 600, more than one-eighth of
vance figures made public Yesterday by
the National Bureau of Economic Re-
search, Inc Nevada, a. the end of the
list, has an income of $65 ,79I 600 These
figures are part of an investigation of
income in the United States which has
been carried on for more than a wear
by tho bureaus research staff under
DrewsleY G. Mitchell.
The diversity of the per capita in
comes in different parts of the country
is shown in the figures. The per capita
income for the country as a whole was
1927 in 1919 with 1916 for the Pacific
states and 1913 for the middle Atlantic
states. In contrast with these figures
are per capita incomes of $463 for the
southern central states and 1864 in the
east south central states.
New York again heads the list of per
capita incomes with SS74 Nevada, CAL
ifornia Wyoming, Massachusetts, and
Washington are next with incomes
around $500.
The wide variations of the incomes
of farmers is shown by the following
figures for 1919: Farmers in the Pacific
states had an average income of more
than 81. 500: west north central states.
80. 500: New ENGLAND. LEO: south At
iantic states. $3.50. "-'d cast south
central states less than $1,000.
These figures. which are embodied IN
a report by the bureau of distribution
of income by states were compiled to
show the comparative capacity of the
various states to bear increased taxes,
r. hlIv goods of various sorts, to alb
sorb securities etc.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Taking
care of Uncle Sans disabled veterans
of the World war and fitting them for
useful voeations, is huge task according
to the veterans bureau, publishing ac-
counts Of the number of men undergo
ing vocational training. Up to May l.,
the bureaus figures show, total of
COL ,5l5 veterans had applied for voca-
tional training, of which number 3l2,-
$50 applications had been approved.
In addition to the 10000 factories and
industrial organizations which are af-
fording placement training to 36.704
veterans, there are 3,228 institutions
engaged in the work of remaking men
who were disabled or partially disabled
OF this number there are 1872 universe
ties, 253 colleges, 9S state normal
schools, l,O4l commercial schools, 244
public schools and 266 institutions
teaching miscellaneous subjects. Of
these 40 are government institutions.
The number receiving instruction has
almost doubled in the period from July
1921. to last May, the bureau says. On
July /, 1921, there were S5,33S men
actually taking vocational training, and
on Nav / last there were l0S.9l9.
The number of those graduated, or
declared rehibilitated, is constantly in
creasing. Up to last July $3.50 men
had been declared fit to take up new
vocations. and since that time 1914
veterans. have been added to that num-

Agriculture, the bureau adds. seems
to be the most popular course preferred
by the men, as there are now l4.006

The other courses which seem in great

sionaI mechanical and electrical trades
and the various crafts. In the govern
| ment schools alone which offer such
courses, AGA veterans are enrolled.

LORD NORTHCL|FFE
DIES IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Aug. 14.-Viscount
Northcliffe, noted publicist died this
morning. News of Lord Northcliffe's
death was given out by the doctors
who have been attending him in this
bulletin:
"Viscount Northcliffe died at 1912
! o'clock. The end was perfectly peace
full"
Later it was stated that the cause
of Lord NorthclIffe's death was
suppuration, the production Of pus
within the heart, which was fol-
lowed by acute blood poisoning.
The death of no other unofficial
person could have made a deeper
impression in England than that of
Lord Northcliffe. The news was
not a surprise, as the bulletins is
sued by the doctors for the last
week plainly indicated their patient
was dying.
Lord Northcliffe was by far the
most noted figure in British journal
ism. and the first question on every
ones lips was what effect his
death will have on the policies of
the Times and his other newspapers,
which since the end of the war have
strongly opposed the Lloyd George
administration and it's principles,
with the notable exception of its
dealings with Ireland which the
Northcliffe press supported through
out.
The medical terms used in giving
the cause of Lord Northcliffe's death
were iulcerative endocarditis, strep-
tococoal septicemia and terminal
SvpcOOe.

IRELAND MOURNS r.
GR|FF|TH'S DEATH

DUBLIN, Aug. 12.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press).- Dublin was shock
ed early today to learn Of the sud-
den death of Arthur Griffith, presi-
dent of the dali eirann, and every
where it was commented on as one
of the most tragic and wholly un-
expected events in troubled Ireland.
Death came at nursing home,
apparently from heart attack FOL
lowing an operation a few days ago
for tonsilitis. Few people in Dub
lin even knew that the ardent work
er for the free state cause had
been i'll. Immediately signs OF
mourning were displayed; flags were
set at half-mast on buildings and
ships in the harbor.
The first question on all sides
was what effect the death of the
leader would have on the solution
of the problems before the pro-
visional government. His colleague,
Michael Collins, recently has devoted
his attention almost entirely to the
military operations against the IT.
regulars while the country looked
to Mr.. Griffith to manage the civil
affairs until the rebellion wasN sup
pressed.
Though president of the dali cir
ann, Mr., Griffith held no ministe-
rial portfolio. William Csogrove,
minister of local government acted
as head of the Irish executive DUR
ing Mr.. Griffith's illness.
The presidents associates were
stunned by the news Of his death;
not one of them was prepared TO
discuss its effects, but they all
agreed that Ireland had sustained
great loss.
Commenting upon his death today
a prominent free, slater said:
ireland has suffered an imn1eas-
urable loss. AS Michael-Collins Is
the sword of the movement for
free and independent Ireland, so
Griffith was it's BRAIN"
LLOYD GEORGE SENDS REGRET
AT DEATH OF IRISH CHII.F
LONDON, Aug. Icy the Assoc
ciated Press. )-Prime Minister Lloyd
George has telegraphed .Mlcnael CoI.
Inns, head of the Irish provisional
government, expressing his deep
distress on learning of the death of
Arthur Griffith.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges telegram said:
my admiration for his single
minded patriotism, his ability, sim
cerity and courage had grown stead
lily since first met him a year ago.
His character made a deep impress
sion upon the British ministers who
shared with him in those unremit-
ting labors in which he was called
upon to play such a testing and diff
ficult part. His los will fall heav-
lily on Ireland, but trust his work
will go on to complete success"
The prime minister also tele-
graphed his condolences to Mrs.
Griffith, saying:
"I am certain Ireland will always
reverence his memory as one OF
her most loyal. gift ed and courag-
eous sons"

JOINT RESOLUTION
Of GEORGIA SOLONS
MAY CAUSE TANCLE
Legality of Extra Day on the
Calendar Is Questioned,
1922 Session Ends on
Thursday

Four days remain of the 1922 ses-
SIGN of the legislature, and in those
four days the bulk of the important
business remains 10 be transacted.
In point of fact, only three days
remain, and thereby hangs a tale
of a complicated situation. The con-
stitution of Georgia provides that the
regular session of the legislature
shall last fifty days. This period ex-
pires next Wednesday, at midnight.
The house and senate, however, by
joint resolution, declared yesterday
Saturday to be a "dies non," which
is Latin for mo day." This was
done in order to accept Brunswick's
invitation to visit that city, and to
prolong the session one day Through
next Thursday without losing leg
islative day because of the Bruins
wick trip.
But many lawyers contend that
there is no authority for the legisla-
ture to eradicate any day from the
calendar and that any act Of the
legislature on next Thursday will
be null and void. Whether this con-
tertion is we'll founded is likely to
be determined by the courts if any
litigation arises from any act passed
next Thursday.
Be that as it may, the bulk Of the
important business of the session
remains to be transacted in the short
space Of three days, or four days.
Nothing has yet been done, out
side of prolonged committee wrang-
ling, toward the passage of high
way bond issue, which was probably
agitated more than any other single
subject before the legislature met.
Advocates of highway bonds are
hopeful that the house and senate
will vet agree on a compromise bill.
The indications point to the passage
of a bill providing for a bond issu ,
of $3,000,000 year fer the next
three years.
Revenue Measures
AS to revenue measures, the
house has passed a bill providing
for an income tax of three per cent
in connection with an ad valorem
tax of four mills. The bill is now
before the senate. Whether the SEN
ate will pass it seems a very doubt
full question, The. objection is raised
that the bill, as passed by the
house. would impose double taxa
ton. The original income tax plan,
as advocated by Governor Hard
wick, was for the state to abandon
ade@valorem taxation and obtain it's
revenue from a tax upon incomes.
Taxation of soft drinks, amuse
ments, cigars, cigarettes and reg
istration tax on evidences of debt,
such as mortgages, loans, notes.
stocks, bonds, etc, have been vir-
tually put to death by the house
committee on ways and means
This plan of taxation was proposed
by joint committee of the house
and senate appointed with instruc-
tons to devise a plan of raising
revenue from these sources. The
committee drew the bills, intro
duced them in the. house, the house
referred them to the ways and
means committee, and the commit
tee adversed them.
The house has passed a bill re-
pealing the tax equalization law,
and this bill also is before the SEN
ate. President Clay is expected to
rule that the senate cannot con-
