Pirates Theory Advanced
william O.. McGaw, chief boats

unwilling to accept the drowning
theory and was convinced the miss
ing men were victims Of rum run
ners turned pirates. Twelve boats,
seven of them IS foot cutters and
five speed boats, r taking part In
the hunt.
McGaw believed that II the men
escaped drowning the are held cap
tive on a lonely island or in Cana
da by gangsters who will demand
ransom ar their safe return.
Credence to this theory was lent
because several members of the
party carried fairly large sums of
money. Franklin B. Jones. former
election board official here, wore
two diamond pins valued at $1,000.
More than 10 hours have elapsed
since the party last vas seen alive

One life preserver was found near
Middle Sister Island Monday night.
The speed boat itself was found
Sunday floating right side up.
1t was pointed out that every is
land in the lake was visited by
searchers Monday and that If the
men were marooned, they would
have been on the lookout for ap-
preaching boats and would have sig
nailed their distress.

and that's what Glasses Magee thawt, so

for him, anyway 1 sed. Or anyways,
maybe We did, I sed.

Lobster and Ice Cream.

Nicknacks, giIncracks, combination
hair-comb and pencil sharpeners, patent
ear drums, magic foot drafts, nose ad-
justers and machines to reduce you or
beautify you or endow you with COM
manding personality in the privacy Of
your own home are Yankee notions
vices made to sell to a certain class of
people Why Yankee? Why is the
Nutmeg State" so called?
A good many people solemnly believe
that it is risky thing to take ice cream
for dessert after you have eaten lobster.
1t is not unusual to find even waiter
in restaurant little disturbed for
the safety of his patron who is so
thoughtleSs as to order Ice cream after
a lobster dish.
For that matter, a considerable por-
ton of the population still feels some
oualms about eating lobster in any cir
cumstances. Somehow this delectable
crustacean has achieved a bad reputa-
tion, but through no fault of its own;
it is Just a Yankee notion. Some odd
association of ideas, some vague recol-
lection of having read of a frightful
outbreak of "ptomaine" poisoning-a
thing which there is no such, but only
the Yankee notion. Then, too in the
old days the wicked play actors, accord
ing to the risque journals one read In
the barber shop. indulged In lobster
suppers late at night.
Lobster is very poor nutriment, in
deed; but 1t is very good to eat II you
like lobster and are of a determined
character. A 15-cent can of salmon
contains as much nutriment as you can
scrape, tease, worry or suck out of
seven fair-sized Holsters. If a man
doesn't get much exercise a broiled lob
ster is a good item In his dinner; he'll
get considerable exercise II he succeeds
in wrestling any meat from the thing
without loss cf blood. Then, when the
encounter is finished, the loser may get
some satisfaction by ordering ice cream
and making the proprietor uneasy lest
the patron die right there at the table.
OF course, II one does not care for
lobster with ones ice cream 1t Is en-
tirely hygienic to omit that or any
other kind of fish that may not appeal
to ones taste. In fact, ones own fancy
or taste is the best guide to follow in
the combining of foods No matter how
incongruous a particular mixture may
seem to anybody else, If 1t strikes ones
own fancy it Is perfectly wholesome.
