With all due respect to mem-

can be proved that they are
somewhat ''crabby" about their

to be known as "hard.shell Bap-

"hard-shell crab" which has not
molted recently and thus is
known by It's tough shell in dis
tinction to the 'soft-shelled
crab" which is minus the advan-

term thus has come to stand for
that which Is unyieldlng.

Over 100000 Investment
Represented at Opening
Fish Season on Mesa

According to figures given out by
Messrs. Blanchard and Foster of the
Delta Auto garage, the opening Sun
day on Grand Mesa furnishes some
very interesting reading.
The crowd attending was the largest
of any year previous. The fishing
was reported good.
There were close to 1,2OO people on
the mesa that day, representing some
$50 cars, and the value of the cars ac-
cording to the boys could safely be
placed at $500 each, totaling one-fifth
of million dollars. Quite an item it.
self
1t required 1000 gallons of gasoline
to run up there and back. At the re-
tail price this would total up to $50.
In the neighborhood of 100 gallons of
oil was used and at the retail price OF
s1.2O per gallon would total $1,000.
Tires, based on average of 5000
miles, would represent the total of
800. Miscellaneous expense would
run to $50. Damage TO the $50 cars
as a general wear and tear not taken
into consideration, but some four or
five cars were damaged in making the
trip which would easily total $3.50.
1t cost each person probably s5 to
81 each to make the trip. This item
alone would total around $1,000 Fish
ing tackle purchased, based on 500
fishermen, and there We're probably
nearer 700 fishermen, would total at
least $4,000 Thus it win be seen
over 10000 was spent by those who
left their various home in Western
Colorado to spend the day on Grand
Mesa.
What will be spent on the mesa dur
ing the fishing season?

FALL OF MECCA
 BELIEVED NEAR
MOhammedan World Is Stirred By News Of
 Balube Advance
By CHARLES M. MCANN

LONDON, Sept. 13.-The Moham- medan world is reverberating with the news that Mecca is in peril. With the fall of Taifa into the hands of King Hussein's rival, the Sultan of Nejd, . there is apparently nothing to pravent this Wahibi leader from capturing the holy of holies of the Islam world.
 In such an event it is expected that Husseein probably would try to take refuge at Jeddah seeking security un- der shelter of the guns of the British navy. Reports indicate that the king has already withdrawn his outposts 6O miles out of Mecca, which have sepa- rated Mecca and Taifa, and that he is unable to raise sufficient force to withstand further onslaughts by the in vading Sultan I. B. N, Sand.
 British observers believe that Husse- in will refrain from seeking armed intervention by Britain because he de- clined to cooperate with her attempts to conclude a treaty of peace between Ibn Saud and Iraq. It is pointed out that any intervention would lay the empire open to the greyest mlsrepre- sentation before Mohammedans IuTOuSuOuI lLc hOLlu anu SAAC 10 SNAASS quently not likely to undertake any thing of the kind.
 Husseein's assumption of the title of caliph has never been accepted either in India, Egypt, Turkey or even Ara bia or anywhere else. In fact, it is bitterly resented in Iidia and as a re- suit Britain must walk especially war fly now in view of the present acute differences between Mohammedans and Hindus in Bengal and the central Indian provinces.
 Moreover, Hussein is himself unpop- ular among MOhammedans, as it is un- derstood his treatment of pilgrims to Mecca during recent years has left much to be desired. The pilgrim sea son has just closed with further nut terings and it is obvious that few would object to Hussein's expulsion. But Mohammedans are everywhere re- ported to be apprehensive following the recent activities of the Wahibis, lest eventually an attack on Mecca should inflict material damage to the sacred properties of their Holy of HOlies.

667 SEEK PAROLE
 FROM v. s. PRISON
Chief Interest Centers In Case Of w. w. Love, Train RObber
BY JOHN c. COLWELL, JR.

LEAVENWORTH, Kans., Sept. 13. Six hundred and sixty-seven applica- tions for parole, the largest number ever assigned to one sitting of the fed eral prison parole board, will face the board when it convenes at the peniten- tiary here Monday. The board is com posed of P. H. Vetaw, superintendent of federal prisons, Warden w. I. Bid dle of the LeavenwOrth prison, and A. F. Yohe.
 Hearings for parole of prisoners come before the board automatically after the required part of the sentence has been served, but none may be consid- cred for parole, however, who are not in the first grade, and who have not been in that standing for six months prior to the hearing.
 Of particular interest is the case of William w. Lowe, 5S, former locomo- tive engineer and oldest prisoner here in point of service. Lowe was received at the prison 14 years ago to serve 43 years for train robbery.
 At his trial it was brought out that Lowe joined q band of train robbers who planned to rob a train near lief ferson City, Mo-, on the night of the robbery none of the gang appeared and Lowe is said to hay estaged the rob bery single handed. Lowe pleaded that he entered the conspiracy to obtain in- formation on which to convict the bandits.
 Lowe began the study of law after entering prison and for several years has been an instructor in the law de- pertinent of the prison. He now has the ambition to establish himself in the legal profession.
