No More Delaware Shad. (New York Sun). Sad news comes from the fishermen | and the fish markets of Philadelphia. Shad have deserted the Delaware and the chances are they will never come back. all along the north Atlantic coast, that for thirty yvears the shad run has never been so poor as it is now, and there is no hope of its ever being bLet- ter. The supply has been growing less for a generation; you pay three times roe shad now as you did five years ago. remember when these fish were caught in the Hudson; now they would no more think of a supply from the former netting grounds than of recovering a pearl shell from river bottom. Several Connecticut rivers were once famous as a Source of supply, but the building of dams, Mills, and the closer utilization of the ater practically ruined them as shad streams. The Delaware shad fishermen lay their ruination principally to the busy ammunition works along the bank, with channel dredging, water pollu- tion and heavy traffic as contributing causes. The shad want more room and purer water and go out into the ocean to find it. Here is a case where somehody ought to do something. Rnt what? Along the Sound they talk of closing the streams for flve years. Fisher- men say this will not help the matter, that the trouble is with the disturh- ance and pollution of the waters. Live people and live shad apparently along together; so the shad must take to the great roomy | sea and become a rarity In our coast | rivers. The shad has some had points but they are not found in the roe. Its disappearance would be an epi- curean tragedy second only to the extinctior. of the lobster. ‘Waterless Baths Now Possible.

Washington, D. C., June 21.—Jut- land, the low-lying, sandy peninsula whose name historians probably will bulletin from the Washington head- quarters of the National Geographic society, which says: “More appropriate than ever before seems the name Jammerbugt (Bay of Woe) which the Danes have given to the waters that wash the sand dunes of the northwestern coast of Jutland, for with the black ribs of many an- cient wrecks on this dangerous coast there is now mingled the flotsam from what were once two of the proudest battle fleets that ever sailed the seas. “Jutland, the continental portion of | Denmark, comprises nearly two thirds the area of the kingdom (ex- clusive of colonial possessions), but with considerably less than half the total population. It compares with Vermont in size, but has a density of population three times as great. Its most striking physical characteristics are the fjords which cut into the sandy seaboard, particularly on the west | coast. Of these the largest. Limfjord, is today a misnomer for since 1822 it has been a sound, joining the wa- ters of the North sea with the Kat- tegat and making an island of the ex treme northern portion of the penin- sula which terminates in a cape called the Skaw. Owing to the character of the soil on both banks, the rapidity of the current and the violent impact of the floating ice In the spring, only a pontoon bridge spanned this sound at Aalborg untll recently. “The highest point of land in Jut- land, which is also the highest in the kingdom, is & 564 foot ‘eminence’ in a line of low hills near the center of the peninsula. “Jutland was the ancient home of the Warlike Cimbri, a tribe which for twelve years kept Rome in a state of panic, and which was the first Ger- manic host to make its war across the barrier of the Alps into northern Italy, anticipating the descent of the Visigoths by flve centuries. The Cim- bri came within the purview of ree corded history in 113 B. C., when, afte er having been driven . from thelr northern home, supposedly by North sea inundations, and having made their way southward through the | German forests, they inflioted a sig- | nal defeat upon a Roman army under Consul Papirius Carbo, at Noreia. In- stead of following up their success into Italy, the victors pushed west- ward into the Rhine valley.

From time to time the guardians of health undertake at great pains to demonstrate the uselessness of alco- holic beverages in the human dietar They bring forward arguments new and old, as if to persuade the drinker that he is laboring under a delusion, to show him that as a body-builder whiskey cannot hold a candle to milk, or to prove that if he would only be reasonable he could not continue to consume beer in the belief that it is as nourishing as porridge, or as cheap. A bulletin just published by the de- partment of health is full of these old truths. Dr- Donald B. Armstrong d covers that the caloric value of a dime’s worth of beer as compared with a dime’s worth of beefsteak is as 240 to 375, while at the same cost a man can get ten times as much out of oatmeal. His conclusion is that alcohol, if it can be called food at all, is a most expensive food. But, people say it a most agreeable stimulant. No, says Dr. Armstrong, as thousands of other doctors have sald before him, it is not so; for “on both the physical and mental sides the drug is a depressant, a narcotic which removes inhibitions.” Yet it may be doubted whether the averago drinking man cares very much about these things. When he longs for a drink he may debate in his mind whether whiskey is what he wants, but never for a moment does he think of considering whether oat- meal would not be better. Nor does he trouble his head much about calo- ries, except emotionally, as whether this drink or that would be the more cooling or the more warming, accord- ing to his immediate need or inclina- tion. The fact is that the ordinary man does not take drink as a medicine or as a food, and he cares very little whether the physiologists choose to class it as a stimulant or as a sedative. If they wish to call it “a narcotic which removes inhibitions” his ob- vious answer is that he finds his in- hibitions irksome. The drinker is not necessarily reasonable. When he s, it is needless to ply mvm with such arguments; when he is not, it is use- is Aless, kit L o LA, HUGHES GUEST OF HONOR AT BROWN {Marches With Class of 81 at Commencement Exercises Providence, R. I, June 21.— Charles B. Hughes, republican nomi- nee for president, motored to Provi- dence today from the home of his friend, Benjamin Barker, at Tiverton, whose guest he had been since his arrival here Monday night, for a day of activity in college affairs. Me, Hughes marched with his class, that of '81 in the Brown University commencement exercises, was seated with the board of trustees of the in- stitution at the historic First Baptist Meeting House not far from a place reserved for Franklin K. Lane, sec- retary of the interior, who was in- vited some time ago to deliver an ad- dress, and later was the guest of President Faunce of Brown at a re- ceptlon. The day’s program also included a reception at the headquarters of the Young Men's Republican club and a dinner tonight at the home af Gover- nor R. Livingston Beeckman. It was announced there would be no discus- sion of political affairs. Mr. Hughes expects to leave here at midnight for -Saturday afternoon. The American spirit is against war not because Americans are afraid to fight but because they are too busy with other enterprises more impor- tant than war, Franklin K. Lane, sec- retary of the interior, declared in a commencement address. The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on the secretary. “The spirit of America is against war not because we have grown cow- ardly and fear death,” said Mr. Lane, “nor because we have grown flabby and love softness, nor even because we have become conscious converts to the prince of peace. But we in Ameri- ca hav esomething learger to do. We no time fo war. We are doing some- are at work. That is greatest of all adventures. When war comes to a democracy it comes because we are not allowed peacefully to work. Roger Williams fought for—to be let alone, to have the opportunity to show what man can do for man.” APT.

This terrible reverse sent a tremor of ter- ror through the lawmakers on the Capitoline Hill, and the constitution Martus, fresh from his trlumphs on African battleflelds, might be Invested with consular powers for flve years. He was deemed the man of the hour and the only general who could turn back the tide of barbarfans that had de- bouched from Cimbri Chersonese, the name given to Jutland. While this tribe poured over the Alps, driving the forces of Catullus before it across the Adige and the Po, Marius adminis- | tered a crushing defeat at Aquae Sex- tlae in Gaul to the Cimbris' compan- ions in arms, the Teutones. The con- sul then rushed back across the Alps and at Campi Raudil, near Vercelll, where a century earlier Hannibal had won his first victory on Italian soil, the invaders were utterly annihilated, all the men being killed or captured while the women slew themselves and their children in preference to belng borne to Rome in slavery. “Jutland’s agrioultural poverty dates from the beginning of the six- teenth century, by which time the peninsula had been almost complete- ly denuded of its fores It was not until 1866, two years after Denmark had been forced to relinquish Schles- wig-Holstein to Prussia and Austria, that the Danish people began an ap- praisal of the latent agricultural pos- sibilitles of their remaining domain to see if by cultivation they could com- pensate for their territorial losses. Col. H. Dalgas, an engineer officer of the Danish army, was the leading spirit in the organization of the Danish Heath society which began to plant trees throughout the peninsula, a movement which is still going forward and which has proved to be the gsal- vation of the land. Mountain firs were first planted and these were succeed- ed by red spruce from America. These trees serve as a living barrier against the flerce sand-driving gales from the North sea. The interior of the pen- insula is fast losing its barren aspect, more than 2,600 square miles of heath having been redeemed by affor- estation. Oats, barley, beetroots and rye are now grown profitably, cattle and sheep find good pasturage, and the forests teem with deer and wood pigeons. Typical of the growth of towns in this rejuvenated area is Hern- ing, a settlement of forty souls in 1886 and now a thriving community with a population of 5,000. ‘‘Jutland has a famillar ring in the ear of every school boy for he re- members that the Angles and the Jutes were among the first Germanic peoples to emigrate from the shores of the Baltic and settle in Britain.” MRS. DREXEL GIVEN §50,000 ALIMONY Wile of American Banker Granted Liberal Allowance London, June 21, 12 noon.—Mrs. Rita Armstrong Drexel, wife of An- thony J. Drexel, the American banker, was given judgment against her hus- band for a yearly alowance of $50,- 000 by Justce Neville in the chancery court today. When the case was last before the court in December, 1915, Mr. Drexel contested the jurisdiction of the Eng- lish courts on the ground that he was a resident of France. This point was decided against him, and when court opened today the banker's attorney sald that it had been decided that the English courts had jurisdiction, he could not defend the case. Mrs. Drexel separated from her husband in 1911 while they were living in London and it was announc- ed that she proposed to institute di- vorce procedings. These proceedings were dropped when the separation iagreement was entered into by which Mrs. Drexel was to recelve an annaul sum of $50,000 and five policies on the lite of her husband, aggregatirg $300,000 which were to be assigned io a trustee and held for her benefit in the event of the banker's death. In July, 1915, Mr. Drexel filed a sult for a divorce in Parls and stopped the allowance to his wife. The pres- ent suit was the result of this action. The Drexels were married in 1886 and have ltved abroad for the past twenty years. GOSH ALL HEMLOCK, Windham County Farmers Find Them Windham County Farmers Find Them- selves in Predicament.
