FISHING FLEETS
 ARE EXPANDING.
Boston, Newport and New London Boats In-

By HENRY HNOTT Jnited Prees Stan Corrcepondent.

(United Press Stan Correspondent.) } Boston.-New England is still America's principal fish mart, just
 as it was in the romantic days of the clipper ship.
 A survey by the United Press in- dicates that fleets plying out of. the northeastern group of states are growing larger year by year: that the number of men engaged in the industry is increasing; and that the volume of fish is getting greater. Whereas less than $50 ships com prised the fleets of the ten principal New England ports ten years ago. 796 vessels now go out to the
 grounds from these same points to- day.

 Young garden spiders often build their webs in full daylight, and you may find them at work some day. Observe how they first make the framework of radiating lines, and then move round and round to form "a spiral figure.
 Old garden spiders commonly make their webs after sunset.
 A spider, web is sticky, and an insect becomes tangled up after brushing into 1t. The spider rushes to the spot to bite the captive. Usually the bite does not kill the in- sect but makes it weak and un- able to move.
 The spider spins thread around the victim and hauls it to a hiding place.
 Some spiders lie in wait at the center of the web. but others hide in a den short distance away. Be- tween the den and the center of the web is a thread which will be. moved when an insect is struggling to get free from the web. This is the sig nal for the spider to run down the

OUR DAILY NEWS LETTER

Berlin.-(UP)- versus pol tiles are scheduled to enter legal battle. here soon when Willy Thuhis, Dutch tenor. appears in the court of appeals of Berlin in an attempt to disprove charges that he has slan- dered Germany and should be ex- pelled as an undesirable citizen. Thunis' case has attracted wide attention throughout Germany and Holland, because he claims that he was expelled from Saxony through icaf groups who questioned his friendship for the country. The case is interesting because of the recently growing tendency of radical groups to censor the stage and art when- ever the theme of q production, or a personality, does not agree with political platforms. The quality of Thunis' singing has never entered the case; indeed, he has received some very favorable criticisms. pr Erich Frey, one of the outstanding lawyers of Germany. has taken over Thunis" case and is defending him.

 Two employees in the dressing room repeated his words to other members of the cast-his rivals, Thunis says. He asserts bis words were distorted into islander against Germany, and the Germans. At any rate, he was barred from singing in Saxony. His action to-day is test case, to establish his right to remain in Prussia. He was not summoned to the Saxon hearing and was not faced by his accusers in court.
 Thunis further claims that the case has been so widely reported in Germany that it has prejudiced his standing and he is unable to obtain

{ Salem, Ore-- The private school frosh are one up on public school freshmen.

Although the Thunis case in- wolves a personality and not a theme or drama. 1t has been compared in the German press with the All Quiet" and other cases in which political groups have attempted to bar certain productions, and it has raised the question as to how far radical influence will go before the public demands its art unadulterat- ed. Another film which recently caused demonstrations by anti-mon- archists was the Concert of Sans Scussci," picturing the life of Fried rick the Great in Potsdam. The parades of the Prussian Guard were objected to by the demon strators.
 In literature, the case of Profes-
 sor E, Gumbel of Heidelberg uni versity has drawn much attention. Professor Gumbel, an outstanding pacifist, wrote several books expos ing radical terrorism, which brought
 many demonstrations against him, culminating in student riots. He was promoted from lecturer to pro- lessor after the affair.

N-tsarien Spiders

In single day, a garden spider has been known to spin 60 feet of thread, At this rate such a spider would spin 1,S00 feet in a month.
 Some garden spiders (but not all of them) spin new webs each day. In this way they replace webs in- jured the day before. What do you suppose they do with the old thread? Often they eat it? That is good old Spanish custom which has no doubt been followed in the spider world for thousands of years.
 Among victims of spiders are grasshoppers, mosquitoes and dragonflies. No matter what the

HELEN SCOTT

Helen Scott will have no monument
in Arlington cemetery or elsewhere pos
sibly, nor will her name be recalled
longer than the end of this week by the
rest of the country, but it will be long
time before she is forgotten in the little
town of Genesee, Illinois.
And it will be a heroic memory those
who knew her will always hold for her.
A schoolteacher, she decided to cele-
brate her twenty-siXth birthday by TAX
ing some of her pupils on picnic.
While using a railroad track as a walk
ing place, three of the youngsters were
caught on a treStle, with train ap-
preaching.
Helen Scott had brief moment to
choose. She could save herself and sac
rifice the three youngsters, or she could
try to save them and be sure of her own
death. She did not hesitate.
Heroically facing the onrushing train,
she managed to throw one of the young
sters to safety but was unable to reach
the others in time. She died with them.
That is something to think about in
these days, when the gangster, the rack
eteer and the woman of easy virtue are
portrayed as heroes and heroines in our
literature and on the stage and screen.
There are more Helen SCOTS all over
the nation. Perhaps they do not make
the front page, or any page at all, but
they and not the frothy personages of
the underworld and half-world, are the
hope of the country.
