Big Brother Committee
Appointed To Stem Tide
Of Juvenile Delinquency

Stemmfng the tide of juvenile de-
Inquency, generally recognized as the
most alarming problem faced by
social service workers today, will be
the aim of committee appointed
this morning by the Bridgeport .Coun-
Gil of Catholic Men, to be known as
the Big Brother committee.
A group of men has been gathered
together in this committee, headed by
Alderman Eugene c. Kelly, which will
endeavor to get in touch in a, friendly
way with juvenile offenders, and en-
deavor to counteract any Influences
which might tend to make criminals
of these youngsters. The committee
will work among Catholic boys and
Bureau of much detailed work along
the line of boys welfare.
Efforts will be made to get in touch
with policemen and others likely to
know of boys inclined to be wild,
shooting craps in the alleys, smoking
cigarettes on the sly, making gang
raids on fruit stands and the hundred
and one things eventually brings boys
into court.
these boys become criminals before
evincing interest in them, but will
seek them out before they have be
come delfnquents and seek to supply
what is lacking in the way of in
telligent parental guidance, good sur
roundings or whatever else the boy
needs.
While the first object of the Big
Brothers will be to prevent delin-
quency, they will not stop there, but
will cooperate with public officials in
lending friendly hand to youngsters
who have been placed on probation.

REPUBLICANS TO
make MERRY AT
PLEASURE BEACH

Have the Republican factions in
Bridgeport healed? It is believed
that they have or that matters now
are in the works that will bring to-
gether any elements that are out
standing.
This fact becomes known today
when it is learned that reservation
has been made with the management
of Pleasure Beach Park to turn over
the island to the Republicans of
Bridgeport ON July 20. Saturday.
Reservation Of this day with all
the big concessions at the park has
been made apparently with the view
to starting the fall election cam
paign.
This is but one of the many en-
gagements for conventions, field days
and other sports events that are be-
ing made at the offices of Pleasure
Beach.
This park with its beautiful water
front, its shade trees. and monster
bathhouse and restaurant is destined
it is believed, to be the future home
or all summer conventions in Con-
necticut.
With the opening on Saturday
afternoon, May 20. it will be found
been affected during the winter
months at great expense.
What will come as a great pleas

family heads in Bridgeport and the
vicinity is that the schedule of prices

with other comm ODDITIES and that
popular prices now prevail in all es-

bring the tarantulas out, but the professor
found that by inserting small stick in
the hole and teasing the insect he was
able to bring it out.
He kept the tarantulas under bell jars
on the laboratory table, and found that
a large grasshopper once a week and a
small dish of water were sufficient to keep
them alive and well. During the Winter
the feeding problem was still further
smplifed, for the tarantulas refused all
food from the middle of October till the
middle of April and required nothing but
water, although they remained active all
the time.
One female tarantula, about 2A inches
long, has been kept by the professor more
than two years and is apparently doing
well.
When an intelligent young man in
formed Professor Baerg that his brother
had recently died as result Of tsran-
tula bite, it determined him to make a
dependable study of the effects of the
much-dreaded venom.
Accordingly, guinea-pig, seven months
old and weighing about 4 pounds, was
secured and the following experiment was
carried out. The hair on the inside of the
right hind leg was cut off close to the
skin, and then having fastened the leg
and holding the pig firmly, the professor
made an attempt to have the tarantula
implant her fangs on the prepared spot
The spider used in these tests was a
large female whose body measured 2h
inches in length and / inch across the
thorax. After several attempts 1t be-
came evident that she was unable TO pene-
trate the guinea-pig's skin.
The chosen spot on the leg was then
disinfected with alcohol and scraped with
a razor so as to remove the difficulty in
penetration.
Then the tarsntula after little hesita-

tion chemists, a full-grown rat represents
in many ways one-thirtieth Of grown
man. That is to say, a man requires
thirty times the amount of food needed
for rat, and so on.
Assuming that man would also re-
quire thirty times the amount Of spider
venom in order to suffer the same agony,
| decided to try the deadly poison on
myself.
81 induced the large tarantula used in
the previous tests to strike me twice on
the inside of the small finger of the left
hand. In the first attempt the fangs
barely penetrated the skin. The second
was more successful-at least, one of the
fangs went well under the skin just below
the first joint.
"The blood gathered a little in the open
ings, but did not collect in drops. A small
amount of the poison, a clear, colorlcss
and tastcless liquid, was present in all
four places where the fangs had struck.
The sensation produced by the bite was
that of the stab of pin. This pain, If |
may call it a pain, decreased gradually,
so that two hours after the biting took
place no trace of the pain remained. At
no time was the finger at all stiff.
"0n the following day the experiment
was repeated. An effort to use another
tarantula than the big one used in the
previous tests failed. She could not be
induced to strike, in spite of all teasing,
or when her fangs were conveniently
placed on the tender portion Of the small
finger.

previous test-at first fairly sharp and
then becoming gradually dull, till in about
two hours all trace of pain had disap-
peared.
at should be added that | did not re-
sort to the use of any disinfectant-in
fact the punctures were not tampered
with in any way. With regard to relative
susceptibility to insect poisons, | should
probably be considered an average indi-
vidual. The sting of bee causes me
moderate swelling and a pain that lasts
for ten or fifteen miputes."
During his experiments the professor
captured a large female which was heavy
with eggs. Instead of placing her under
a bell jar like the others he put her into
a larger jar half filled with dirt thinking
she would make some kind of hole pre-
paratory to egg laying, but she made no
attempt to do so.
One morning in June she constructed
large silken bag all around herself and
kept busy on the inside of it for some
time. Next day she was on the outside
of the bag which had now shrunk to the
size of black walnut without the hull.
From now on the tarantula spent prac-
ticalIy all her time sitting over the bag.
A few weeks later he opened the bag
and removed a few eggs and young
spiders The eggs are white in color.
The young spiders match the color of the
eggs so we'll that they are quite difficult
to see when small. The young fed on the
eggs still Unmatched, thus greatly diminish
ing the world stock of tarantulas.
A few days later the professor took
out all the eggs and young for further
study. The bag at this time contained 113
young spiders, AGO eggs in apparently
good condition and 80 eggs which were
shrivelled up The shrivelled eggs had
furnished food for the young.
T Hoping that he might get some informa-
ton on the final result of this struggle
for existence, he replaced the eggs and
the young spiders in the bag and closed
the slit that he had made, with some glue.
Unfortunately" he remarks, "my
efforts interfered with the instincts of the
spider, for on the following morning |
found her enjoying breakfast consisting
of her own eggs and young spiders"
Tarantuias, and, in fact, nearly all
spiders, are known to, be cannibals. In
order to get some detailed information
on this subject, he placed two large
females that had just been brought in
from their natural homes under a large
bell jar.
Contrary to what he expected, they
were quite peaceable. One sat quietly on
one side of the jar, the other one opposite
her, behaving much like two persons not
