This is the original mystery fish of the north Atlantic. Even the| burcau of fisheries' ichthyologists | can tell nothing about its wint habitat except that it is somewhere | heyond the continental shelf, in decp water. The late Sol Jacobs, Gloucester's | famous “fish killer,” ventured only this: | “I've been followin' mak-ril for 50 years or more, and studyin’ 'em and their habite. Now all I ¢ tell you about ‘em is that they have fins and tails so's they c'n swim where they darn please!” | Thirty to years ago mackerel swarmed in New England coast wa- ters every summer. They drove into the bays and harbors and bit raven- the hools of hand line falling easy prey’to the seine Since then it has been “off again, on with them. Some years the fishing has been a flat failure; then An others the mackerel would stage .a “comehack.” i Finally they were faken only in| small catche the main schools | _had disappeared.

Prague, Czecho-Slovakia, April § (A—Clairvoyant tracing of a stolen letter of credit for $10,000, equiva- |lent to 300,000 crowns, absolved the Czecho-Slovakian post service and won a job for a young man of the name of Hausmann with the insur- ance association, Riunione Adriati- caid Sicurta. A director of the as- sociation told the story here. The letter disappeared from the post en route from a bank in Ru- mania to Prague. The local post office was blamed and the insurance association had to stand tWe losa. Hausmann was an applicant for a job with the insurance people. He claimed clairvoyant powers and led local postal authorities to the frontier, whence an official accom- panied them to the town of Kosice. Hausmann even drew a picture of the thief and the man was arrested and convicted, ONLY “BIG OFFENDERS” NEED FEAR JONES LAW Buckley Explains Minor Liquor De- fendants Will be Penalized Under Old Statute.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAYOR DELEGATES ASSEMBLE Every Section of State Sends Rep- resentatives to Annual Con- fercnce at Willimantic. ‘Willimantic, April 5 (# — From every part of the state came dele- gates to the state conference of the Connecticut Christian ndeavor point 18 miles off Cape May, where it had been sighted, apparently aim- | lessly drifting, by Ensign W. E. An- | derson, coast guard aviator. | Aboard the schooner was customs ' ofticer Luther Sterner, who told of | the Nomad's terrifying log as it had | been related to him by the owner, Leland H. Ross, of New York city. Ross and the crew, Richard J.| French, steward, and Henry G.| Bush, sailor, were In their bunks be- low decks. | The Nomad, Sterner said, put out from Charleston, 8. C., 11 days ago, | flying the pennant of the New York | Yacht club. Ross, as if acting on premonition, placed his wife ashore | just before they left. Within a few hours the motors failed and | when efforts to repair them failed, sail was set. | The Nomad plowed through grad- | ually mounting seas under full sail | until a sudden squall tore away part of the mainsail. Captain John L.| Schofield climbed aloft to repair n; and a rolling sea wrenched him from the mast and washed him overboard. | He was not seen again. Day after day Ross and his crew worked to keep the craft headed in- to the seas. Water flooded the stores and submerged the engines. A distress aignal was flown on the 11th day, with all on board pros- trated by exhaustion. The Nomad was sighted by the aviator and a pa- trol boat despatched to assist her. Sterner denied that Ross and his crew were drunk or that the craft Show You the Stomach Trouble and | it has done for them.
