MAN RESCUES DAUGHTER FROM SHARnATTACK Beats 6-Foot Monster to Death in Shallow Long Island Pond. By United Pratt GREENPORT, L. 1., July 30.—An attempted attack by a blue-nose shark on a child bather—the third such Incident within a few days—made old fishermen wonder today if a school of the man-eaters had moved into north Atlantic seaboard waters. The latest report of the big fish came Wednesday when a blue-nose shark, one of the more ferocious species, tried to attack 7-year-old Irene Matthews in Gull pond, an inlet connected with the harbor. The child’s father. Carl Y. Matthews, of Cleveland, clubbed the creature to death in the water. Matthews, here to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Y. Matthews, was watching his daughter play in the pond where he often swam as a boy. She was standing hip-deep in the water. He noticed the fin of a shark making toward her. Beats Off Attacker Mathews seized a club. Then he waded in, fully clothed, and got between the fish and the girl. As the shark approached he hit it on the head. It plunged toward him, but the water was so shallow he was able to beat it until it was stunned. Irene waded ashore. Matthews pulled the shark up on the beach and found it measured 6 feet 7 inches. Local fishermen identified it as a blue-nose. Sharks in this latitude of the Atlantic are not uncommon in summer, but to have them venture into shallow bays and inlets is unheard of, according to fishermen. Their only explanation was that it followed a school of fish into the pond at high tide and when the water receded found the way barred by sand bars. Sand Shark Captured Wednesday a group of boys swimming in a shallow part of Staten Island Sound near Elizabeth, N. J., were routed by the appearance of a sand shark. It was captured with a net, and measured three feet. Last Saturday at Sea Girt, N. J., a guardsman encamped with the New Jersey national guard was nipped on the leg by a large fish. He reported that in his excitement to get ashore he could not say definitely whether it was a shark or swordfish. He thought it was a shark. SHANGHAI IS PLACED UNDER MARTIAL LAW Order Follows War Proclamation Against Rebel Forces. By United Press SHANGHAI, China, July 30. Martial law was proclaimed in Shanghai today. The proclamation said the decree would remain in effect three days. The order followed President Chiang Kai-Shek’s recent declaration of war against rebel forces in Canton, to the far south, and the Peiping and Tientsin area in the north. The rebellions in the north and south have been aggravated by serious damage and loss of life in the worst floods in recent years throughout the rich Yangtze valley area. Communications have been disrupted, crops lost and hundreds drowned. Unrest has grown in Shanghai as a result and trouble was feared.

But Its Only Root Beer

W‘ &&

Here's the spirit of 1915 in 1931. She doesn’t know she's the spirit of ’ls, but just look at the way she puts her elbow on the rail, her pajamaed leg on the box, and the nonchalant ease of the pose. Get it? Can you see Miss Mae Spence of 6508 East Washington street, In the above photo, might easily have lived in a day when brass rails were brass and a stein didn’t hold root beer. Wash me down, my heartie, but wouldn’t it have been fine to have been a bar-fly if she were only 1915 instead of '3l.

PREPARES PRISON BILL Senator Jim Davis Pledges Legislation to Aid Children. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 30.—Senator James J. Davis of Pennsylvania said today he would sponsor in the next congress a bill to remedy “the barbarous system now being used on children held in prisons as federal offenders.” The recent report of the Wickersham commission showed more than 2,000 federal offenders, less than 18 years old, being held for six months or longer. Many of them, Davis said, “are subjected to floggings, solitary confinement in dark dungeons and restriction of diet, which menaces the health and sometimes the life of the child prisoner.”

DELAY IN ARMS PARLEY SEEN IN LEA6UECIRCLES Financial Crisis Causes Doubts of Success If Held in 1932. BY HENRY WOOD By United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, July 30—Postponement of the world arms limitation conference scheduled for next February was considered in League of Nations quarters today. Doubt was expressed that the conference could be a success early in 1932. The German financial crisis and the danger that the rest of Europe may be involved in a serious economic struggle were regarded as possible obstacles to the success of an arms conferences six months from now. Economic and political tranquielity, it was emphasized, are essential to the success of an armaments conference, and it was feared that the early part of next year will not be a favorable moment for the league’s arms parley. The date of the conference was set when the European atmosphere was much less disturbed, league officials pointed out. While league authorities agreed with President Hoover’s theory that a radical reduction of armaments would be an important moral step toward economic recovery, it was insisted that nothing in Europe’s present tendencies would indicate that the nations were ready for such a vital move. The recent French memorandum was cited to show that France had

Hemorrhoids Go Quick All Pile Misery Ended Without Cutting or Salves. Thousands of sufferers from piles have learned that quick and permanent relief can only be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor suppositories remove the cause. Bad circulation of the. blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The veins are flabby, the bowel walls weak—the parts almost dead. To end Piles an internal medicine must be used to stimulate the circulation, heal and restore the affected parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt was the first to discover a real internal Pile remedy. He called his prescription HEM-ROID, and prescribed it for 1,000 patients with the marvelous record of success in 060 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEM-ROID tablets from their own druggist with a rigid money back guarantee. Dr. Leonbardt’s prescription has a wonderful record of success right in this city and Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores invite every Pile sufferer to try a bottle of HEM-ROID and guarantee to refund the purchase price if they do not end Piles in any form.—Advertisement.

reached the limit of arms reduction to which she is willing to go at present. In Great Britain, Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald's speech in the house of commons was mentioned to show the British were not altogether ready to take the initiative in arms reduction. MacDonald told parliament that Britain had reached the limit in arms cuts unless others would reduce their forces. Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy also has given notice that Italy will reduce her armaments only if others agree to do likewise.
