THE SUSQUEHANNA SHAD

Only few years ago shad were plen-
tiful in. the upper waters of the Chesa-
peake Bay, and when Mr.. William dec.
Ravenel, now head of the National
Museum, Washington, had cherge Of
the shad Matching operations at the
Battery" millions of shad eggs were
gathered and hatched, and shipped to
all sections of the country. Among the
shipments at that time as an experiments
was one to the Pacific coast, and if W,
recolIect Alright, Mr.. Daniel W. Kenly,
a brother of Mr.. ]. T. c. Kenly, was in
charge of this shipment of FRY" to
California.
AS a result of these shipments, shad,
never before known on the western
coast, are now very plentiful in a tn
rivers, from Los Angeles to Alaska, and
shipments of shad from California to
the New York markets are now being
made in large quantities.
The shad are said to grow larger than
in the Chesapeake, ranging from S tx to
twelve pounds each.
1t is said that the warm currents of
the Pacific are carrying these shad to

that while these royal food fish are

seeing them disappear, and in only a

GENERAL ASSEMBLY TAKES
NO ACTION.

No action was taken by the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in
session. at indianapolis, Ind, relative to
the status of Rev. John McElmoyle, Of
Elkton. The congregation of Elkton
Presbyterian church called Rev. Mr.,
McEmoyle to the pastorate of the
church. despite the fact that he was a
member of Baltimore Presbytery. The
Elkton church is connected with the
Presbytery of New Castle, which ques-
toned the right of the doctor to serve as
pastor, because of the fact that he was
not officially installed. The New Castle
Presbytery protested to the Baltimore
Presbytery against DR.. McElmoyle's $
being allowed to serve the church in
Elkton. but he continues to oficiate
there regularly.

WAR POISON GAS FOUND SPECI-
FIG FOR GRIP, TUBERCULOSIS,
PARESIS

Experiments conducted by the Chem
ical Warfare Service at Edgewood
Arsenal, Md, have demonstrated the
possibility of preventing or curing
influenza, tuberculosis, paresis and other
Affections by the use of certain of the
poison gases employed with deadly effect
in the World War.
According to Army experts, there is
virtually no limit to the practical appli-
cation of these gases in combating
diseases.
Through experiments with chlorine
gas army chemists have established the
fact that epidemics Of influenza, grippe
or col Is can be checked almost instantly
by introduction of the gas greatly
weakened into the rooms occupied by
those afflicted
Experiments under the direction Of
Lieut.. Col. Edward B. Vedder of the
Army Medical Corps at Edgewood are
said to have demonstrated hat'mustard

As result of experiments with burn
ing gas, known as Lewisite, army chem.
lists have evolved what seems to be an
efficacious remedy, if not an infallible
cure, for paresis and locomotor ataxia,
Lewisite is composed Of arsenic and
acetylene gas.
DR.. Lovenhart has the records of
ONE fo-ty-two cases of persons COM
mitted to insane hospitals with paresis,
which have come under his treatment
by this method. Of this number
twenty-one have been entirely cured
and returned to lucrative employment
and seven bid fair soon to be discharged
as cured.

er there is an increase or decrease
Of the State wild game. Every

CHAUTAUQUA
Closed Tuesday Evening-Guaran-
tors Sign For Next Year

COP9 sigh FOr NeXU cur
Chautauqua closed on Tuesday
evening. The program given this
year was probably the best yet, all OF
the lectures, concerts and other en-
tertainments being of an unusually
high order. The Junior pageant
was by far the best ever given here,
and praises are loud for all the boys
and girls who took part, and for
those who directed and assisted in
making it such a pleasing success.
The sale of tickets this year did
not come up to that of previous
years, and there was considerable
deficit that the guarantors were COM
PEELED to make good, but despite this
fact fifty or more of the citizehs of
our town and vicinity signed up for
the return of Chautauqua naxt year,
as they feel it is we'll worth all the
trouble and expense.
At a meeting of the guarantors
held in the tent Tuesday evening, dl
rectly after the closing entertain
ment, they organized by electing A.
l.. Burlington president, r. G. Warren
treasurer, and Edwin L.. Haines sec
retary. A meeting is to be held in
the near future for the purpose OF
selecting a tentative date for next
year.

NAME CHANGED
Perry Point flo Be Known as FEEDER.
al Park

Perry Point, where the U. S. Vet
Grams Bureau is located, has been
changed to Federal Park, the change
taking place May 80. Among the i'm
portant additions to be made on the
Government Reservation will be the
opening of postoffice on the
grounds, thus relieving the postoffice
at Perryville from handling the Gov
ernment mail. A large pier will also
be built for the landing of the May
flower, the Presidential Yacht, and
600 trainees and their families will
shortly arrive to take care Of the
new work WHICH has just been added.
The building Of the pier for the
landing Of President Harding's
yacht, will also mean that the chan
mel in the Susquehanna river will be
deepened, which will be Of great
advantage to both Havre de Grace
and Perryville.
