Proposal to Liberate
Republicans Stirs
Tn Opening of Dali

Dublin. Sept. 10 (By A. P)-The
opening sitting Of the new Dali
Eireann was an uneventful one,
aside from one exciting incident.
This was when the farmers party,
representing the opposition in the
absence of all the Republican depu-
ties, sought unavailngly to induce
the government to liberate nmpris-
oned Republican members of the
chamber so as to enable the Repub-
lican party to hold a meeting and
discuss it's future policy. This pro-
posal provoked brief but somewhat
heated debate, which showed that
the government had not the slight
est intention to rccede from its pre-
vious attitude toward the Republi-
cans.
AS has been anticipated, William
T. Cosgrove was reelected president
of the executive council of the irish
Free State by reclamation and Mi
chael Hayes was unanimously chos-
en- speaker of the Dahl.
Deputy Corey, leader Of the
farmers party in urging the liber-
alton of canon de Valera, and the
other Republicans under arrest. ar
gued that a Republicans had been
elected to the Dali by the people and
that they should at least be given
the opportunity to meet together In
order to determine whether they
would obey the rule of the majority
and adopt constitutional methods.
Mr.. Cosgrove spoke in quiet tones.
He said that the present was not the
proper time to raise such question.

A Short. Haired Aqe

Long hair for man is n thing Of
the past" said the barber. Il don't
mean the kind that could be braided,
but the kind that used to be worn by
'statesmen'-the sort that pushed out
behind, and impaired majestic ap-
pearance to an otherwise insignificant
individual. Twenty years ago a man
did not consider that he was living
up to the traditions Of congress un-
less he wore lot of hair on his head.
Now men want short hair. and think
the secret of this change in style is
due to the fact that fairly close
cropped hair gives suggestion Of
youth, and that after alf is greater
possession than the reputation of be-
ing the possessor of a master mind,
specially when one knows in his heart
that he is just four flushing, and liv-
ing in dread Of being called.

Field BUGS as TOYS

The field bugs. known in America
as June bugs, have resumed their
place as toys for German children.
An extraordinary flood of the beetles
has sent hundreds of Berliners into
nearby forests and fields to catch
thousands of them and sell them to
dealers who, in turn. retail them to
fond parents and children. The bugs
sell at ten for a mark now, whereas
before the war a dozen could be
bought for a few pfennigs. The deal
err makes 500 per cent profit. those
engaged in catching them declare.
Farmers encourage the catching of
the bugs as playthings for city chill
dren, as they are destructive to the
foliage of orchards and vineyards.
The unusually large plague of field
bugs has revived the custom of
catching them for sale for the first
time since the war. An expert
catcher" usually brings in about
1000 bugs a day. They live for
about ten days as playthings.

One Bath A Week Says LandIady

How many baths should a person
take each week?
This question is answered by San
Francisco landladies that you can
not be too clean in the "city that
knows how" unless you are willing
to pay for 1t.
One bath a week the majority Of
landladies will grant with one week s
lodging. and there has been found
some that will permit two baths in
every seven days. but that some"
seem to be In a minority.
But three baths or four usually in
volve SO cents or more on your rent
And If you insist upon having that
daily plunge it will cost you real
dollars.
1.-TWO baths a week is enough for
any person." said one landlady to a
young woman who was looking for a
room. Il get along very nicely my
self, and l can't see that any
ordinary person needs more than two
a week. However, If you insist and
you'll take the room by the month
I'll stretch the point and permit you
to take three baths week. But, if
you want more than that you'll have
to pay"
my roomers take only two baths
week. More is a nuisance. and
there's the extra gas, too," explained
another landlady.

PICTURESQUE Industry

Fresh-water pearl fishing is a pic
turesQue industry. The fishers
usually establish camps along the
streams where the mussels are found.
Most of the fishers lead a migratory
life.
The mussels lie half Embedded in
the bottom Of the streams, with the
rear end of their shells gaping open
against the current. If a hook is in
serted in this opening the shell at
once closes. The fishing is done with
4 great number of blunt hooks at
tached to long lines.
The shelters established in the
camp open the shells with knife.
The mussels are then carefully cook
ed. without subjecting them to a
temperature which would injure the
pearl that may lurke inside.
Dealers in pearls and shells are
stationed in many of the river towns,
constantly on the lookout for bar
gains.
When news Of find of valuable
pearls goes abroad there is usually a
rush to buy.
When a particularly rich find of
pearls is made there is a rush of
other fishers to the spot, much as
gold diggers are attracted by news
of paying ore.
