the mystery of the pineal gland’s
fi action, indicating that it and the

controlling the rate of growth and
maturity, was offered recently by

of the Philadelphia Institute for
dical Research, in an address be
f' re the International Assembly of

tinction, among other things, of
having the largest glass-eye factory

lished many years ago. knows no
depression and has some 35,000 reg

a spare is kept ready.

BRITISH AMAZONS BATTLE FOR
WOMAN’S MAT TITLE.
The zoological .expert on The
Morning*-v Post of London having
learned that a contest had been ar
ranged between a tigress and a bear
cat at a hall in the heart of London,
looked up some old chronicles on
bear and lion baiting and fights of
a century ago. Thus fortified he
went to the appointed place, found
assembled there more than 1,000
Curious people, and then wrote about
the encounter as follows:
“An interlude at the zoo? Not
at all. A jungle book film, then?
Wrong again. It was merely a
wrestling match for a title which
had not existed before last night,
and now seems likely to be ephem
eral—the women’s wrestling cham
pionship of Great Britain, no less.
Just before 10 o’clock in the smoke
laden atmosphere of a big-bam-like
room near Baker Street, we hailed
Miss Ivy Russell (‘Bear-cat,’ if you
please) as the winner.
“In private life ‘Bearcat’ is a
black-haired young woman of 27’,
who has specialized in weight lift
ing. ‘Tigress’ is Miss Peggy Par-.
nell, a blond, aged 29, formerly an
acrobatic dancer, now a draper’s
assistant.
“The Amazons entered the ring,'
sworn not to ‘gouge, bite or squeeze
ears or noses.’ They were intro
duced with formal ceremony. They
laid aside their dressing gowns, one
■’•ange, the other green: they
smoothed back theit hair and ad
justed- their tunics. Gongs beat,
the amplifiers made queer- noises,
the last rites were observed—and
we were ready at last. ‘Tigress’
and ‘Bearcat’ advanced like bathers
’ out to enter the surf , on a No
vember morning.
“The wrestlers hovered for a mo
ment,-patted each otheT, and then,
by ..Jinmott consent sat-'on the floor.
Miss Parnell embraced Miss Russell.
Miss Russell followed suit. Miss
Parnell rolled Miss; Russell ; over.
Miss Russell copied vher. Gradually
they tied themselves1 into an intri
cate knot, and so they remained,
with brief intervals; until the referee
unexpectedly- announced that Miss
Russell had secured the first ‘sub
mission fall.’ Time: 4 minutes and
30 seconds.
The nation’s losses from insects
and plant disease are said to be
more than §3,500,000 each year;' re

FRENCHMAN CATCHES SHARKS
FOR A LIVING.
Catching sharks for their skins,
which make fine leather, and the
.sale of the flesh, some of it used
for human food and some for soap,
makes a good living for Paul Bud
ker, a French fisherman and his
small crew off the coast of France
at Dakar beach. Budker and his
men, who average a catch of 40
sharks every morning, have taken
230 known species of this fish.
Only three or .four of these varie
ties will attack a human heing and
these only when persons in the
water . near them show signs of
.panic. Budker’s most — effective
shark-catching equipment is a pple
with a bag at tbe end of it. The
bag is clipped over- the nose which
causes the shark to asphyxiate
since it cannot travel backward, and
get away from the bag.
