WOMEN WIELD
CLUB AND GAFF
TO GET SEALS
*
BAY OF EXPLOITS, N. F„ June 2^
(by Associated Press).—The womer
of Tilt Cove are the pride and th€
envy of the bay today. In a season ol
failure in the sealing industry, thej
have scored a catch and kill of size
Wives and daughters succeeded where
the men of the bay had failed.
The ice was still running on this
northern coast, and the men had gone
far out to find the seals that follow it
The wife of the lighthouse keeper or
Gull island saw signs of the herd or
the ice, sent word ashore to the
women of Tilt Cove and marshalled
them into sealing crews.
They went in boats, armed with
clubs and gaffs, and climbing onto the
ice cakes, set out to round up a catch.
They found the seals sprawled on all
sides, and learned later that they had
struck the main patch, the hope of all
seal hunters.
The women went about their work
with vim and had captured or killed
100 seals w'hen exhaustion and ap
proaching nightfall compelled them to
cease their labors and make their
catch secure. When the men came
back they were given the task of
stripping the pelts and rendering the
oil.
MERCHANT MARINE IS
AFTER ENGLISH SAILORS
LVERPOOL, June 25 (by Associated
Press).—Fear that better conditions
in the American mercantile marine
service may lure British seamen away
from British to American vessels, was
expressed at the annual meeting of the
Mercantile Marine Service Associa
tion. W. C. Bridman, parliamentary
secretary to the board of trade, said
a poster was being put up in all the
ports of the United States offering
every conceivable temptation to the
British sailor to leave the British ser
vice and to join the American.

SHANGHAI, June 25 (by Associated
j Press).—The great gambling estab
' lishment in this city, notorious for
I years under the name of “The Wheel,”
which originally cost more than $500,
000, is to be converted into a charity
hospital. The Chinese authorities
, have announced that they intend to
confiscate the huge building which
now stands dark and empty. Its own
ers, however, threaten to fight this
program.
Up to about three years ago when
the place was closed by Chinese au
thorities “The Wheel” in Shanghai
was one of the biggest gambling estab
lishments in the Far East. It was
located in Chinese territory on North
Honan road, a fifteen minute automo
bile ride from the heart of the city.
In the days when the establishment
flourished, three roulette wheels with
six layouts, beside faro and other
games, were operated.
After this establishment was closed
as the result of the efforts of mis
sionary interests no open gambling on
any large scale was permitted in
Shanghai until last fall, when the in
terests that formerly operated “The
Wheel” opened near it a smaller rou
lette establishment which in turn was
closed after a few weeks.

Poland Adopts New
Standard of Money
WARSAW, June 25 (by Associated
Press).—Poland is to abolish the mark
as the standard of currency which has
been in use since the German occu
pation of Warsaw in 1915. The basis
of Poland’s new financial system is
to be the zloty, normally about equal
in value to the French franc. The
zloty was the monetary unit more than
100 years ago, prior to Poland’s par
tition by Russia, Prussia and Austria.
