BAY ANGLERS TRY TO DRIVE AWAY SHARKS THAT STEAL THEIR FISH New Head of Kansas Penal Institution Has Unique Plans surface, Wlhat fisherman would not have a feeling of awe?" 'Quick, John, gaff the I cried, and John, awaking, tried. "In trying to get the gaff in that fish ho nearly went overboard. For about two and a half minutes there was a most beautiful fight. It was a question which was the stronger, the shark or the Irishman. It was a close struggle, until finally the shark looked at.

John. That whs enough. It broke loose from the gaff. I "As John landed in the bottom of the boat lie nearly buoke his neck against the eenterbonrd I then handed the rod to K. W.

Smith with instructions to bring the fish to the side of the boat and started to get busy with the gaff. "When the shark was at last landed the struggle had lasted 4'0. minutes," Another shark story is told by William Dorman, owner of the Columbia of Broad Channel, Jamaica Bay; (Jus Reiff, his mate, and Dick, second mate (post-oflice address Oceauus, L. Salmon, 162 Pacific street, Brooklyn; Thomas Bergen of Meriden, and Billy Neir of Avenue A and Eleventh street, Manhattan. They were at Buoy No.

4, Jones' Inlet, when Reiff shouted to Capt. Dorman, who had NEW YORK, Aug. 1. For several days Jamaica Bay lias been infested with sharks. Sharks follow the weak-flsh througli Rockaway Inlet, and onee inside the shallow waters of the bay prey upon weakflsh, porgies and the tat, flat fluke, For the first time in the history of angling in Jamaica Bay advertisements have been printed offering to take anglers out shark fishing.

This is probably the most exciting sport within reach of a B-eent car fare, Coiiey island not barred. Because if you angle for sharks the shark is likely if you are in a small boat to tow you perhaps for miles. Recently seven captains of Old Mill decided to go to the Pumpkin Patch and clean out the sharks there. These men meant business, so they equipped themselves with hay hooks and used clothes lines for fishing lines. They baited witli sea rpbbins and sand porgies and as fast as they pulled a fish to the You Have Only Yourself to Blame for Your Wife's Unhappiness A stuffy room and a woman's content don't go together.

Here's Just a Few Suggestions From Our Immense Stock I gone to the cabin to at a sandwich. Hoop Around Shark. "Bill quick, come up; here's a hoop shark!" Now Capt. Bill Dorman has been sailing these waters from Labrador to the Caribbean for 2 7 years. He knows the smooth hound or dog shark; the common dog shark, the tiger shark, the sharp nose shark, tue hammerhead shark, the shovelhea.

shark or bonnet-head shark, the blue shark and other varieties, but a "hoop" shark, was a new one on him. So he dropped the sandwich and hurried to the scene of strife. He saw a "hoop" shark, or rather a blue shark of the dusky variety, with a hoop between its dorsal and its tail. The shark was about seven feet long and as big around as a barrel. It came up within 18 inches of the surface, following a two pound sea bass that Sir.

Salmon was pulling in. As the sea bass canle' up the shark turned over on its back to snap the fish, but Salmon landed the so quickly that the shark Inst its meal. The line was rebaited and within two minutes another sea bass was hooked. The shark with the hoop around its body came up for the second fish. It was again too late.

It tried to steal a third fish, with the same result. Wouldn't Try Again. A bluefish squid then was tried, but boat they clubbed it to death. The fishing boat captains using this heavy tackle included Tom and Dick Lee, Joe. and Bill Wiley, Bill Brown, Jack Gerard and Fred Jlauman.

Caught Twenty-two Sharks The prize shark was taken by Capt. Tom Lec and measured 5 feet 7 inches and weighed 175 pounds. Altogether the seven captains took 22 sharks. These weighed 2,026 pounds. Threv times the number of sharks taken were hooked, but got away.

If any one wants to angle with light tackle for sharks, and that is the ideal way to fish, according to A. J. secretary of the Cotton Thread Fishing of America, let him do as Mr. Meister did. In Black Wall, Jamaica Bay, Mr.

Meister, captured two sharks, one of four feet and another of six feet on a light rod and a nine-thread line. He used a small hook with a steel wir leader and small weak-tish bait. Capt. Williams in the bend of Goose Creek landed a four-foot shark on light tackle. On the same day sharks bothered Capt.

Morson's fishermen at Sea-bright and Morson baited with three sea bass and then fished for sharks. Everybody took an interest in the game because the fishing was poor, the sharks had been fishing themselves. 1 Finally two sharks, eight feet long mid weighing more than 400 pounds each, were taken. Angler Too Quick for Shark One day last week at the East Bank a fisherman was hauling in a three-pound sea bass. As the iish came close ito the surface a shark tried to steal it, but the angler hastily drew up the line and got tiie lisli unmutilated.

Mrs. Mildred Williams of 914 Fountain avenue, Brooklyn, who is a bride of five months, was angling for weak-lish witli her husband at the grounds three miles oil' Manhattan Beach thu other, day. They were fishing from a motorboat. Both Mr. nnd Mrs.

Wil-'liams got strikes, but when, they came to land the fish it whs found that sharks had bitten the fish in two, usually taking the greater portion of the fish. Mrs. Williams finally got the heaviest the shark refused to try again. Ihe shark was not seen after the third attempt at trying for hooked sea bass, Capt. Dorman's theory is that the shark thrust its head into a pork barrel thrown from one of the leners, and while the head, fell in and the staves fell out, the hoop remained around its body.

According to Capt. McGown of Bath Beach, Capt. Al Hewitt, on hoard the Undine, hooked a shark near Fort Hamilton that nearly pulled" him overboard. He jumped into the. dingy with the line and had a two-mile tow, until the began to tire off Norton's Point.

When the shark was hauled aboard the Undine by Capt. Percy Eldridge it measured 8 1-2 feet. Inside the shark was found a Brooklyn Rapid Transit Can you imagine anything nicer than a buffet for tho dining room? You cannot imagine anything finer than we are showing.

In Silver Hole, Jamaica Bay, last year, Henry Enkentueyer landed a shark of 225 pounds, Hunts 'Em With Winchester. Capt.

Dave Martin of Slieepshead Bay does not believe in angling for sharks. The quickest, surest and best method of dealing with the fish, he says, is to use a 'Winchester 22 automatic, aiming for the dorsal fin. Theodore A. Meissner uses a beer key. This is how: On opposite sides of the beer keg sereweyes are inserted.

To one of the sereweyes is attached a heavy line of some 200 feet. Mr. Meissner used a line known as 3-8. Attached to the line is a steel swivel nnd shark hook. The sreweyc on the opposite side has attached to it 15 or 20-eet of weak-fish line, which is attached to an oyster stake or the stern of the boat.

The barrel is thrown over and, being air tight, floats. As soon as the shark takes the hook the weakfish line attached to the' oyster stake or stern of the boat parts and the shark is one end of the line and the beer keg at the other. After the shark takes hold and the line which holds the beer keg to the oyster stake or the stern of the boat tackle they had in the boat, put on a good sized chunk of vveuklish, and then angled for the shark. The shark swallowed the weakfish bait. Then began a struggle to bring the shark to the motor-boat.

When the shark was within range Mr. Williams shot it twice. The shark, wounded and infuriated, made a final effort to escape, broke the rod Mrs. illiams held and got away. Gets All Out Fish's Head.

Al Frank in the Wappo recently hooked a big sea bass. 'While he was trying to land it the line suddenly slackened. When Frank reeled in the line he brought in the head of a sea bass. A shark had cut the fish in two. K.

W. and K. B. Smith went out to fish for sharks with John Lewis of Freeport. Lewis, who is Irish, and proud of it, took a nap while the other i two angled.

While he slept E. B. Smith had a strike which held fast for 'about one minute. But aftor reeling in about 250 feet of line Smith discovered i that a six-ply cable laid leader had been neatly cut as though by a sharp pair of scissors. Not much time was wast-i ed in rigging up a new leader about the I same weight as the first.

To this was I added an 8-0 O'Shaughnessy hook and Thalf a shedder crab.

After Everything That is New in Odd DRESSERS $14.50 to $77.50 has parted, the shark makes a miprhty plunge, downward. A beer keg, tightly sealed, isn't easily dragged below the surface.

The shark plunges and lunges and darts in this direction and that direction, cools off and tries it again. When the shark is sufficiently tired out the beer keg is reattached to the boat and the shark brought ashore, the head to hang up as an ornament, and the spine to become a walking stick. fVkiinlV One of the Many QUCII" "Beautiful Styles working 20 minutes it was finally (brought to the side of fhe boat.

K. Turner among a group of farm girls in Geauga county, and the recent attack on the high cost of living on the farm, also led by Mrs. Turner, has attracted the attent ion of the United States government. Miss Ilena May Bailey of the farm management office of the department of agriculture, was at the Turner farm near Chardon to investigate the work being done. Miss Bailey was interested particularly in the contest among farm women to prepare the best and most economical meals in the farm for the month of August.

"The need of some such work among farm people has been apparent for a long time," said Miss Bailey. "Mrs. Turner is doing great work. I am much interested in the Tomato Club girls and I believe it will be a huge success, and will be copied by people in farm communities all over the country within a few years."
