It is essential for the purposes of due administration of justice in this country that orders of the court should be obeyed It is not a matter of vindictiveness or A fresh burst of tears from Miss O’Neil continued His Honor "it is only in exceptional cases that real mercy— which I am about to show— can be exercised" Miss O’Neil stopped the tears She dabbed at her eyes with the wisp of a handkerchief A big smile to the judge — and she went merrily on her way - Describing her reactionsshe said : "Only once in my life have I been charged before a judge and that was for a crine I never committed It was a stage ‘crime’ and the judge and jury were stage people'in a play But this last episode was g thing I’ve ever experienced just about the most That’s-mlast court experience— on or off the stage” What actually happened Mis3 O’Neil said was that a tipstaff (British for bailiff) knocked op her door and said he had a “letter” for her Not knowing who it ws the actress told him to just slip it under the door Later in the day she went out forgetting to open up the envelope which contained a subpoena ' It just so happened that she stayed with friends for the next few days— and did not get a chance to see the newspapers which were screaming with such headlines as “Police Drag Net for Actress Spread” “Where Is Peggy O’NeiJ Hiding?” for four days Miss O'Neil said later that she then knew how John Dillinger must have felt and finally went to court with her attorney — and gave herself up In the end all was solved — and Britain settled down to the Jubilee dignity" again "Btit" never

tho shark “the flesh of this 6sh gives us a meat that is far superior than much of the average food It is hard and firm has a sweetish Savor and resembles halibut to a marked degree” Besides the hide and flesh there are still other parts of the shark that have commercial value The shark’s liver averages about seven feet in length and weighs about two hundred pounds Rich in vitamins the oil compares favorably with cod liver oil Other uses for the shark include fertilizer which has within it much nitrogen suitable for stock and poultry food Shark’s teeth are used to make ornamental buttons Glue iodine and insulin are among other products obtained from these sea monsters A few short years ago the capture of sharks concerned only a few brave fishermen willing to take their lives in their hands But the prospect of a $100 for a day’s work which formerly only netted $10 caused them to throw caution to the winds The sailor’s old enemy is proving to be a friend after all And much to the bather’s delight the shark will probably become extinct in a few years if the de-mand for his “hide” keeps ns ' |
