Plague of Seals Besets , Fishermen of Wales Nevlri, England.—A plague of seals along the south Carnarvonshire coast recently put the fishermen temporarily out of business and caused the govern ment ministry of fisheries much an noyance. On one occasion the seals swarmed Into the fishermen’s favorite haunts In such numbers that the gunboat H. M. 8. Doon was dispatched to Carnarvon bay. and. with the aid of residents along the coast, who brought out their hunting pieces, 19 seals were killed In one drl^e. It has been established that the •eels have a breeding place in caves naar Nevln, and the government Is considering what steps to taka to rid the coast of the nuisance. The seals of this colony are- known as the com mon seal and the gray, seal, which have inhabited various parts of the British coasts for many generations, but not in such numbers, ordinarily, as to cause an Inconvenience to fishermen. * The fnr of these specimens has no particular value commercially. Five Memorials At Church -■ Drop of Ink Made^fUlioas Think, Brother Declares. Fletcher, N. C., An*. 26.—Gathered here today to honor a great American humorist who carved his niche in the hearts of his countrymen, hundreds of admirers of Bill Nye had wafted to them echoes of the kindly humor of the great American writer; a humor ist whose works still live and bring cheer to those who read or remem ber. . Five memorials in and near ancient Calvary Episcopal church were dedi cated here today. Besides the monu ment with the bronze tablet in the churchyard, there were dedicated a boulder and tablet at the grave of the hurporist, a flag staff, the gift of the city of Asheville, and a memorial shelter presented by Asheville Ma sons. The ceremony on this, the 75th an niversary‘of Edgar Wilson Nye’s birth, was impressive, beginning with the reveille of the fighter and closing with “taps” just as the sun sank like a golden ball behind the deepening shadows of the Blue Ridge. Its im pressiveness, however, was not mark ed by a cold formality. Several mem bers of Bill Nyfe’s family were pres ent and by their participation in the services brought the assembled throng into closer relationship with the man whoke memory tne annual celebration is intended to preserve! Frank Wilson Nye, speaking of his brother, said: “When Bill dipped his tenuous pen point in an ink well, it was a fore gone conclusion that millions Would laugh. But the resulting snicker was not an empty guffaw. His drop of ink made millions think; for Bill Nye was a philosopher.” Messages containing tributes to the humorist and greetings to those who would perpetuate his memory were re ceived from many persons of promi nence. Among them were: President Calvin Coolidge, Gov. Ralph 0. Brew ster of Maine, Gov. Alfred Smith of North Carolina, Gov. John J. Blaine New York, Gov. Angus W. McLean of of Wisconsin, Gov. Nettie Taylor Ross of Wyoming, Walt MacDougall, illus trator for Bill Nye; Irvin S. Cobb, humorist; Dr. Frank Crane, eminent writer; Strickland Gillillan, author; Frank Sumner Burrage, editor of the Laramie Republican, Boomerang, Wyo. and Frank J. Perrin, associate editor of the Christian Monitor. »44»M#M»MM»MM»44444M#+4»4MMtMM Big Showing of New Fall Merchandise Second Floor Plan. Catch Fish With Bare Hands in Utah River •y WILLIAM A.

The swiftly flowing San Juan, called Pawhuaka (mad river) by the Navajo Indians who live nearby, never gets clear. At times the river runs with a/ smooth, oily movement, like that of molten metal, so red and viscous Is It w|th silt. At such times the fish be come exhausted and flounder on the surface, their dorsal fins projecting Into the air. Then the fisherman needs only to arm himself wtih a club to catch a fish with bare hands after bo has stunned It with a blow. Airplanes Take Food to Marooned Mountaineers Berne.—Corned !>eef and hardtack dropped from airplanes In daily flights over the Alpa saved the lives of three Swiss Alpinists who were marooned for eight days by storms in the Mari- oelll shelter hut on lop of the Bernina mountains and who arrived safely, at Pootresina. The Alpinists hearing two days’ ra tions. left for their climb on February 10 and were caught in a vortex of hurricanes. They had been gone four days when S*iss military flyers dla corered them In the wilderness and directed them to their shelter lint. The flyers then returned for food which, being unable to land owing to the deep snow, tbey managed to fling to the Alpinists as they swooped down •over the hut This performance was repealed dally until the storms abated.

The roomy country house with that air of solid permanence which makes It seem an integral part of Its sur roundings, is always attractive even In these days of one-room apartments and disappearing furniture. Its com fortable'"llved-ln” atmosphere is rest ful after the complexity and hurry of the outside world and it offers a pleas ant retreat for one wearied by the bustle of the day’s activity. Here^ Is a splendid example of such a house. Sitting close to the ground and with the long lines of the roof sweeping down fo the low oaves. It might well have grown where it Is instead of being the handiwork of man. The whole appearance gives an impression of simplicity, while the sun parlor entrance, the rounded thatch effects of rite eaves and the arch over the front entrance pleasant ly relieve the otherwise somewhat severe lines, j^nd the side walls are softened by shingles laid wide to the weather. s Tliis house affords more room than could he luid with a bungalow hut the cost of wall construction is kept down by the drop of the roof at the front. In the rear a‘ dormer construction increases the second floor space and at the same time presents an interesting study in roof lines. The regular rec tangular shape affords the greatest space at the least cost. Concrete areas at the rear provide light for the basement laundry In spite of the low placing of the bouqf. The front entrance admits one'to a central hall with open stairs to the second fl<»or. This hall separates the living mom, and sun parioV from the dining room and kitchen on the other side of the building. The ratherjarge living room is connected the sun parlor by folding French doors with' the rasnft that this is vlrtnsUy one large room across the entire side of the house. From the sun parte- there t a handy side eatrai&e rtachud by a step. T'be living room centers around an open fireplace flanked by bullt-ln bookcases.. Directly across from the living room Is the dining rboxn, which la planned to secure s maximum of sun light and Is conveniently connected with the kitchen by a serving pantry. This pantry affords extensive cup board and shelf space. There is a stair leading from the kitchen to the basement as well* as another from the back porch. Off of the kitchen and connected with it by a door, Is a breakfast room, a feature which adds a pleasing touch of luxury and convenience. A second door opens from this breakfast room Thlb the central hall and Just beside it is a large coat closet. The unusual amount of closet space In this house Is striking evidence that it was planned to please women. On the upper floor there are five more closets to serve Jhe thr£e bedrooms. One of the latter is a large room di rectly over the living room. It Is provided with a large closet and a separate bath. Another bath serves (he other two bedrooms, which are smaller but of adequate size to per mit the convenient arrangement of furniture. Color Ideas Come From Mother Nature’s Garden A designer for a clolh manufacturer developed one of the most successful patterns his house ever put on—from' studying the tones of color in a piece j of decaying wood. A painter and dec orator, hard pat to get a color idea for a bedroom whose o<5cupam wanted something different, at last went out side and picked a wild rose. The petal gave him an idea: light creamy yellow for the woodwork; a pink for the walls. “ * Those who like thst sged effect In glass known as Tiffany ware, and wish lr developed as a decorative adjunct in the colorings and finishings of other parts of the house, need nor he dlv . couraged.
