SCIENTIST TELLS
OF SHARKS ATTACK
Thrills in a Photographers
Diving Laboratory.

New York;. q. Williamson, pio-
neer undersea photographer, who re-
turned recently after several months
passed in studying and photographing
sharks in the waters around Nassau,
told Of a vast school Of mackerel
sharks that attacked his diving labora-
tory with such ferocity that he feared
they would break the heavy glass win
dow of the steel sphere.
Mr.. Williamson was accompanied by
his wife and their nineteen months
old daughter, captain" Sylvia. Like
her father, Sylvia never tires of life on
the ocean bed and has passed good
part of her young life beneath the
surface of the sea, peering through
the window Of the three ton diving
ball which Mr. Williamson uses for his
marine studies.
Waits Two Months for Sharks.
The photographer, who left last
May. said that he had picked an ideal
spot to study the sharks of the BAHIA
mas, but for two months he sat in his
steel ball, gazing at. the baited waters.
with sharks few and far between. The
spot, he said is known locally as "The
Tongue Of the Ocean," and is cut a
mile deep between Andrus and New
Providence islands. He discovered
later that the sharks leave that vicin-
ity during June and July.
One day in August he had fifty gal
Ions of animal blood dumped into the
water for bait and descended into his
ball. Suddenly school Of mackere1
sharks, led by a big hammerhead,
swan before his glass window. On
tasting the bait the sharks became
frantic, rushing about like mad dogs
and beating against the diving bell
until it shook and strained with the
weight of their bodies. AS the sharks
became more excited large splotches
appeared on their sides.
Although anxious for the pictures
the photographer began to fear for his
safety. From the boat above ba1te6
hook was lowered, which was fmmedi-
ately grabbed by shark. The Others
upon seeing his predicament, started
to tear him to pieces. Then the rope
broke and the wounded shark swan
away, with the pack following in his.
wake. The photographer breathed O.
sigh of relief.
"And Life Everlasting."
In an effort to provide human bait
for sharks that straighten out hooks
as big as an umbrella handle, Mr.. Will
hanson attempted to coax two negro
divers to go down and fight the sea
beasts. He said that he offered huge
sums Of money but the offers We're
met only with refusals. Finally the
deal was about completed when the
younger diver, twhoFwas about to be-
| married, was offered full dress suit
| "Think of It," Mr.. Williamson told
him. 'You get this $40 dress suit for
q minutes work" This would have
won him over if it had not been for
another negro onlooker who muttered:
eyes. and life everlasting" thereby
precluding any possibilities of shark
and man fight.
Despite this lack Of human bait, Mr.
| Williamson said that he has evidence
to prove his old contentious that g.
shark will eat man and that he does
not have to turn over on his back to
do 1t.

Accessory Collars and Cuffs
BY MARY MARSHALL.

There Ia something very dainty and
becoming about white or very light-toned
collars and cuffs that need to be taken
out and cleaned or Numbered at very
frequent intervals. BY having two or
three sets for each dress you can man
age to make changes as often as neces-
sary. But there are times when it is
dif1cult to give this attention and then
you win find one Of the new figured
chiffon collar-and-cuff sets most prac-
tical. They look decidedly dainty, but
actually do not show wear and soil
nearly 30 quickly as those Of plain
toned lace, organdie or silk.
You can buy these figured chiffon
sets all ready made in some of the
shops, but they can be made very easily
from ruf1iing by the yard. Select some
attractively colored figured chiffon to
harmonic with the dress with which it
is TO be worn. Cut the pieces in the de-
sired length and bind off the edges
neatly.
This sort of pleated rufling loses its
good looks If you try to wash it. When
cleaning is necessary, you will need only
little gasoline or other dry" cleanser
to freshen it.

NANCY PAGE
Mystery Plays Lead Naturally
To Weird Evenings
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

All the members Of Nancys group
were spending their evenings playing
the exciting game of murder" Its
popularity was due to the present vogue
for mystery stories. The group never
played the game when there were young
children around for fear they might be
frightened. But the adults seemed to
enjoy the thrills and palpitations.
AS many cards were taken from
deck as there were persons present. In
the assortment were the ace of spades
and Jack Of diamonds. Each person
drew a card and kept 1t concealed from
the others. The ace OF spades des1g-
mates the murderer. The Jack marks
the person who will play the role Of
prosecuting attorney. He announces
that he has the card, but the rest keep
their cards a dark secret.
The prosecuting attorney leaves the
room, going into a closed room or out
on a porch. The lights are turned out.
Each person seeks to get out Of the
way Of the rest, because any one of
the group may be the murderer. 1t has
been agreed upon beforehand that the
murder is committed by a poke in the
back, a pinch on the arm or some such
action. The members of the group,

that because of this she has turned her
thought in on herself. Her unhappiness
probably radiates from her uncon-
sciously. She doesn't complain or say
anything, but people feel such things
without words. This sort of atmosphere
in nurse is disastrous. It is possible
that If In some way she could distract
her mind and get new slant, things
would come back to her. I am sure she
is optimistic and courageous and would
be all right again If she had a chance.
Perhaps she ought to consult a nerve
specialist for herself. At the same time
it might be possible for her to do very
well in the treating Of nervous cases,
because she would be absorbed then in
watching other peoples mental troubles
and thus get rid of her own.
