Shark Fishing Once
Good in East River
. - .-
v Kew York, Dec. 3. The waters of
the East river off Catherine Slip,
in the shadow of the , Brooklyn
bridge, where only germs are to be
found now, were productive shark
i fishing grounds a century ago. ac
cording to the local historians.
Nowadays a shark that dares run
very far beyond Sandy. Hook . is. a j the
rarity. J hey seldom get past the
outlying beaches down in the lower
bay. . . '
But in the early years of the nine
teenth ccntury.it was different-.' There
were no steamers, with their thrash
ing propellers, or chugging ijiotor
boats to frighten off the wary fish,
and they followed the fishing
smacks up to the shores of Monhat
tan island. Once they got to Cathe
rine Slip, where the biggest fish
market in town was located, . they
were loath to leave, for there .they
found the choices tidbhsV floating
with the tide---the dead figh' thrown
overboard by the market scavengers.
' As a result, shark-fishing was
good. . . .!- '
tollypops Better Than '

' Chicago, Dec. 3. Instead of giv

upon going swimming against your
wishes, give your son a lollvpop or
something else todelight hirru. That
is the true course to lobedience and
will make a better boy of your son
in the long run. .
'So advises. Mrs. Marietta Johnson,
a mother, who has-been speaking on
children at Chicago. Mrs. Johnson
declares that she practices what she
pretches and that the results of her
experiments have proven the truth
of .her contentions. ;

'"But besides this social evil there
are other drawbacks to the people of
India today," Mr. Pavry said.. "There
is the British government's lack of
interest in our educational-problem.
"On v 6 uer tent of our peoDle are
educated. - This-, constitutes one of
India s great grievances , against
England.
"Upon us is put the stigma of be

cient India there were great schools
and universities. One hundred years
ago, after, the, industrial revolution,
Eurdpe progressed to' a great extent
commercially. India, on the other
hand, failed to double her industries.
She was not encouraged under Brit
ish rule to do so.

"At the present time there are

India were to go ahead, unhampered,
she could develop enormous re

Denies Women Against Boycott.

Society Burglar
Is Expelled From
Sing Sing Prison
Failure hi Promise to Reform
Results in Sending Crook
To Less Popular
Penitentiary.
Ossmmg, N. Y.. Dec. 3.-VValter
White, a "burglar of high society,"
known in crookdom as Silk Hat
Harry White, has just been put out
of Sing Sing prison for breaking his
pledge to reform. Over his protest
White was hustled off to Auburn
prison.
When White was released on pro
nation a few months ago from Sing
Sing he told the state board that, al
though a life-long burglar, he had
a conscientious scruple against rob
bing the dead. He said that one night
he entered a dark room in a fash
ionable residence. As he was grop
ing around in darkness he touched
some silver he thought was' resting
on a bureau. He was unable to lift
it. so he focused his flashlight on the
silver. He was horrified to find him
self confronted by a corpse. The
silver was the plate on the casket.
He fled in dismay.
When he finished telling how
that harrowing experience persuaded
him to "go straight he was asked if
h! stole the casket plate.
He explained he could have taken
it, but his conscience would never
let him "rob the dead' -
White was returned to Sing Sing
recently for getting into more
thievery. Like all professional
criminals, White preferred Sing'
Mng to any other prison because
life there is more thrilling and it,is
most convenient to receive callers
from New York.
In his raids on society he wore a
tall .hat to assist him in his work.

Chicago, Dec. 3. -Girls of
Chicago High schools are to
taught how to take care
They will have real
cooing youngsters to practice upon
instead of learning baby culture out
of dry, unanimated books.
The kiddies will be left at the
school each morning by mothers
who work. The course will start to-morrow.
'In carrying on the nursery
work, said Miss Ptona h. Good
man, head teacher, "we will con
tinue the regular educational fea.
tures. Besides instruction in bath.
ing, dressing and feeding the babies,
the girls will be taught the funda
mentals' of kindergarten work,
"We are not trying to make nurse
maids of the girls, but we feel that
knowledge in scientific care of
babies will go far toward making
them mothers' helper.i.
"This training will enable them
to give scientific care to their own
little brothers and sisters and many
parents 'will learn much from them.
Our girls are all enthusiastic over
the work."
The course will be started first
in one school and extended to others
as classes are formed. Two hun
dred and fifty girls already have
signed up for the class.
The work will be under the direc
tion of Dr. Mildred Young, head of
the homecraft department.
"Every baby will have a crib and
will be given a thorough physical
examination," she said. . "This
course will not only help girls who
prefer home work to office duties,
but it will be a benefit to future
generations and give the community
healthier children."
