.SWARMS OF SEALS
 UPSET FISHERIES
British Coast Fishermen Put Out Of Business Temporarily

Nevin, Eng" Feb, 24,-A plague of seals along the South Carnarvon. shire coast recently put the fisher. men temporarily out of business and caused the government ministry of fisheries much annoyance. The seals ate the fish nearly as fast as the fishermen could catch them, for n time, and often tore empty nets to pieces as if they were bent on show ing their dislike at finding their dinner buckets" empty.
 On one occasion the seals swarm ed into the fishermen's favorite haunts in such numbers that the gunboat H. M. s. Doon was dis patched to Carnarvon Bay and, with the aid of residents along the coast, who brought out their hunting pieces, Is seals were killed in one drive, but even this did not put an end to the pest. Another time, Lord Wavertree and a party of friends who were playing golf, saw a drove of seals summing themselves on the rocks and, abondoning golf sticks for rifles, killed five one day and six the next.
 It has been established that the seals have a breeding place in caves near Nevin, and the government is considering what steps to take to rid the coast of the nuisance. The seals of this colony are know as the common seal and the gray seal, which have inhabited various parts of the British coasts for many gen erations, but not in such numbers, ordinarily, as 10 cause such an in convenience to fishermen. The fur of these speicemens has no particu- lar value commercially.

 Champagne Deserves Another Name
 Champagne should be called per ignon, and thereby hangs a tale. Certainly the man who may have in- vented the use of corks to stop bot ties as well as a wine deserves a place in the language. Dom Pcrig- non was a monk in charge of the cellars of the Haut Nillers Abbey in Champagne back in the eighteenth century. It had been the custom to stop bottles with pads of hemp or cloth steeped in oil, but the monk conceived the use of corks instead. The firmly stoppered wine, he dis covered, cut up all sorts of antics, that soon became famous The Evil One helped in it's manufacture. so rumor spread, but finally Dom Perig- non's secret leaked out.

COLORADO RIVER
PROBLEM TO GO
UP TO CONGRESS

The Colorado river and Boulder
dam projects will be approached
at the next session of congress
without consideration of Arizona,
the only dissenting state This was
made clear by Representative
Swing, republican, California, CO.
author of the Swing-J ohnson bill
which failed to pass congress ses-
sion.
Swing explained that the new
Swing-Johnson bill, providing for
construction of Boulder canyon

pact in place of the pending treaty
that requires seven signatOry states
He said Arizona, which had failed
to ratify, would be left out of the
pact.
Otherwise the bill will be much
the same as that introduced last
session Complete details were not
announced, pending further confer
ences between Swing and Johnson,
his republican senatorial colleague.
The Colorado river pact distrib
utes the waters of the Colorado
river among seven states. Six of
the states. Wyoming, Utah, Colo
RADIO, New Mexico, Nevada and
California, have approved it. Cal
ifornia ratification was made sub
ject to enactment. of the measure
by congress.
Boulder dam, $40,OOO,OO0 pro-
ject, is designed to provide flood
control for the lower basin of

M'MANUS CARTOON
MUSICAL COMEDY
MAKES GREAT HIT

To those patrons of the theatre
who have been led to believe that
the we'll of real fun, screams, hi
larity, mirth and general all
acound entertainment has run dry,
the latest of the Bringing Up
Father" series, Bringing Up Faith
er in Gay New York, should quick
ly refute such a delusion. In fact,
if anything, it is bound to prove
source of infinite joy to those who
are always in search of genuine
newed hope and lease on life. The
brand new comedy, of course, is
based on the well-known George
NcManus cartoons published in the
leading dailies throughout the
country. Not to be acquainted with
TIE beloved Jiggs, Maggie, his bet
ter, or we might say, worse half;
Dinty Moore and others of the Ma
honey clan is like being at distant
relationship with the Declaration
OF independence or the history of
these United States.
Bringing Up Father" as an un-
usual comic creation, is already an
established institution. Thoroughly
America, it diSseminates a brand
of humor easily understood and ap-
preciated all over the world. Faith
er" for that matter, would be just
as irresistibly funny if played in
Chinese, Volapuck or any other
language. Maggie, Dinty Moore
and the rest of the beloved charac-
ters would be their own jolly selves
anywhere. If you want to see them
all, in the flesh. you will have your
chance by hieing to the Opera
House, Winslow, Tuesday night,
December Is. Naturally, a Faith

without pretty girls, lifting music,

boy KILLS SELF
PLAYING INDIAN

NEW YORK. Aug. 29-Eight-year,
old Bernard Rauert liked to play with
his chum. Harold Sobel, who lived
across the way on White avenue,
Brooklyn. But last Thursday Harold
disappeared, and so Bernard used his
5-year-old nephew, John Rauert, as u
playmate.
Little John had great difficulty in
understanding the intricate points OF
the game of Indian. So yesterday, in
the hallway of their home, 259 Wythe
avenue. Bernard undertook to teach
him. He tied two leather belts to.
gcther. Then he made moose around
mis- neck. and fastened one end of the
thong to the banisters.
He was showing little John how
Indians hang people. He dispatched
the child for a piece of rope so that
he. too, could be hanged. When the
child returned with the rope he found
Bernard dangling from the leather
thong. his face purple.
Sensing that something was wrong
that this could not be part of even SO
strange a game as Indian, the child
ran screaming to his aunt, Miss Helen
Rauert. She took look at the dang
ling body and become hysterical
.,eighbors called the police.
DIR. Navone worked over the body

SWEDEN FLOWERS
AUTO DUTIES
GREATLY
United States Increases
Car Shipments to
Country.
By Universal Service.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 29.-The
American automobile industry will be
affected by Sweden's decision to re-
duce the import duties on automobile
parts, so as to average u per cent
instead of 81. as heretofore. while the
rate on complete cars remains 10 per
cent. One of the consequences of the
old rates was that as it was cheaper
to import complete cars. no American
assembling plants could be operated to
advantage in Sweden, this being done
instead in Denmark and Belgium. An
other was that the Swedish automo.
bile industry languished. because GER
tain parts had to be imported under
the higher rate. 4
Under the old schedules some auto
mobile parts were specially listed at
16 per cent. while others were CLASH
fled under their principal materials
which averaged 20 per cent. Now the
parts specially mentioned are still
taxed 10 per cent, while all. the others
are admitted at 10 per cent, making
the average for an entire car II per
cent.
During the past five years the num-
Der of automobiles has increased in
Sweden by 63S.5 per cent, making
that country more highly motorized
than most Of its neighbors. While in
the United States there is an automo-
bile to every six inhabitants there is
one to every % in Sweden. 125 in
Norway, 6S in Denmark, 143 in the
Netherlands. 81 in Belgium, and 272
in Germany.

SKIRTS
Styles of 1860 Are Seen
at Many Theatres in
French Cities.
Bs Unlyersal Service.

PARIS, Aug. 29.--Obviously sever
al Of the leading dressmaking houses
are again attempting to launch the
full 1860 skirts. There is no ques-
ton of anything so awkward as the
cumbersome crinoline. but crino-
line effect may be obtained with tiers
of flounces and stiffened hens to full
skirts. There have been one or more
of these full frpcks in every new play
of modern life presented at the Paris
theaters lately, and the latest organdie
frocks-extremely fashionable during
this warm weather, are as near crino-
line effects as this shingled genera
ton is ever likely to wear.
Organdie in cyclamen or mauve is
being used for gowns designed for the
seaside. One of these seen at res
taurant in the Bots had a full skirt
which accorded prettily with the pink
ish mauve of the rest of the frock. Pr
cot edged ribbon, ruched, of the same
blue, outlined the square neck and the
short tight sleeves.
Another organdie frock, now in pro-
cess Of making, is of sea green, with
three-tiered skirt, the edge Of each
frill being corded, and the frills or
flounces sticking out stiffly at the
side and front. but put on very scant-
lily at the back.
Taffeta and fail evil be used for
full-fashioned evening gowns in the
autumn. Pink taffeta under black
Chantilly lace makes a charming din
ner frock for a fair little bride.
