The vampire lamprey which
has desolated most of the Great
Lakes of the horde,, of .game fish
that at one time thronged their
waters has at long last met his
Waterloo in the science labs
where Dr; Vernon C. Appelgate,
a wiry, determined biologist has
come up with a control measure
that is 100 per cent effective
and cheap enough to make pos-
sible the complete elimination
of all Great Lakes lampreys in
five years. The compound known
Ss •chlorinated nitrophenol is
seeded in the streams where the
young lampreys are hatched and
where they spend from .three t0
five years buried in the mud of
the stream bed. This wonderful,
yellow -coloured solution is seed-
ed In the stream in granules and
turns the water a light yellow
colour. It kills the lampreys in
the water and also drives them
out of the stl'eam-bed; to their
deaths, It has proven to "be .100
per cent effective, and the won-
derful thing about this is the
fact that it has no effect on gill -
breathing fish, Anglers on the
Mosquito River in Michigan
were taking prize rainbow trout
in the streams that had been
coloured and found the fish fully
active,
The killing of the lampreys
can all be done in the streams.
The little eels spend the first
five years of their life as worms
in the stream beds growing
about an inch a year, At the end
of this time they suddenly ma-
ture, sprout eyes and teeth and
swim out into the Great Lakes
for a 12-18 month orgy of feast-
ing on large fish. A single lam-
prey will kill up to 90 pounds
, of fish as it s p e n d s this 18
monthsof barbaric feasting, then
it returns to i t s birthplace to
spawn and die.
There are 233 known lamprey
streams on the United States
side of the Great Lakes and over
100 on the Canadian side. The
treatment will start in Lake
Superior where there are still
some trout. Then down to Lake
Huron and Georgian Bay where
a few still remain. Lake Michi-
gan will come next and then
Erie, and Ontario in turn. Lake
Ontario, once teaming with trout
and whitefish has been denuded
for 25 years and will have to be
completely restocked. Lake Erie
never was a trout lake but will
be restocked. The size of the
undertaking can be realized
when it is estimated that it will
take 71 million fingerlings a
year for ten years to bring back
Lake Superior.
For the sportsman it will be
a boon. Twenty-five years ago
trout fishing was the popular
GR ort around the. resort areas: of
eorgian Bay. Anglers could be
eure of fine trout right in the
harbour of Meaford and other
similar towns. In fifteen years
those scenes could berepeated,
and with the rainbows on the
increase, and speckles and splake
seeded into the streams of the
Great Lakes watershed, the fa-
bulous fishing of the early years
of this century could return to
make easy and pleasant the
youth of our grandchildren.
"Once and for all 1 want to
know who is boss in this house,"
the irate husband demanded.
"You'll be much happier if
you don't try to find out," re-
plied his wife, sweetly. •

AFTERMATH — Train cars were stacked up in this manner 'as firemen sprayed water on the
resulting flames after a 76 -car New Haven freight train jumped thb tracks near Stamford,
Conn. Fifteen to 20 cars toppled down an embankment and several others slammed into a
standing passenger train. No one was hurt, but all tracks on the main line were blocked by
the wreckage,
Big Race Track
Crowd Fooled
"Royal entry nobbled during
derby. Favourite disqualified af-
ter winning. Race goes to 100-1
outsider,"
Sensational sounding headlines,
these, If any novelist had dared
to use them as chapter headings
or to inicate the plot of a book
he wouldhave been held up to
ridicule.
Yet truth really ,is stranger,
than fiction, For, fantastic as it
sounds, all this really did hap-
pen. What is more; the "head-
lines" above quoted do not tell
the whole story. For this race
also cost the life of a spectator,
a woman, who was responsible
for the "nobbling."
The thousands who made their
way to Epsom that fine summer's
day in June, 1913, were looking
forward to a perfect :Derby. The
sun was hot, with just sufficient
cloud and a. stiff breezeto pro-
vide moments of refreshing
coolness. The field was a tap-
eless one,with only fifteen run-
ners going to the post not
too many to clutter up the start,
nor so few as to weaken interest.
So the race" promised to be
full .of excitement. It was that '
all right — but not inthe ex-
pected way.
As the horses lined up for the
start, there was still nohint of
the drama that lay not many
seconds ahead. The flag -dropped,
and the field was • away to a
steady start.
Nearing Tattenham Corner,
the crowds' looked forthe fav-
ourite,
avourite, Craganour, and saw him
well placed, a little way behind
' a 100-1 outsider, Aboyeur.
These two looked as though
they would have the race to
themselves, foralready they
were several yards clear of the
remainder. Perhaps if the horses
had been closer together at this
point the tragedy that was now
so near would not have happen-
ed.
For suddenly a woman dashed
on to the course, into the gap
between the two groups of
horses: • Some of the jockeys
said later that, as they approach-
ed, they had seen- her struggl-
ing with a policeman, and even-
tually break away from him and
duck under the rail, that marked
the course. Whether she would
have run out into a bunch of
horses is something weshall
never know.
As it was, she was there in
time to position herself to take
a flying leap at the next horse
to pass. King George V's Anmer.
She grabbed at the bridle in an
attempt to pull the animal round
into the rail and stop it. In-
stinctively, the frightened horse
reared and almost threw its •,
rider, Herbert Jones,
So swiftly had this happened
that nearly all • the crowd at
Tattenham Corner missed it for
they had turned away to watch
the race that wasdeveloping be-
tween Craganour and Aboyeur.
•Jones fought grimly to regain
control of his mount, and for
a split second it 'seemed he ,
would succeed. But as Anmer's
fore feet touched the ground the
woman lost her balance and fell
forward, grasping thereins to
save herself from falling.
This time there was nosecond
chance for the jockey to regain
control. As she went down, still
hanging on to the reins, the wo-
man pulled the horse with her.
Anmer stumbled, dragging the
, woman for some yards, and then
hit the earth. Jones was sent
flying over the horse's head and
landed ;some distance away. He
was conscious •and, luckily, not
boo . badly injured, apart from a
broken rib,
But the woman who had caused
WAITIN' - Michigan's Lance -
Olson eyes •a .ball that took it-
self out. if play during a cage

the teams back in business.
all the trouble lay still. Her hat
had rolled across• the course and
her heavy, ankle -length dress
was draped round her knees,
which were drawn up near her
chin. She was not dead. But she
never regained consciousness, dy-
ing four days later.
Meanwhile, the, race had been
going on, and those jockeys who
had been• trailing behind now
settled down to their task 0f
trying to catch the leaders.
For most of them the chase
was hopeless. It was still a race
between the well -backed Craga-
nour and the outsider, with the
former inching up into the lead.
Amid tremendous excitement,
Craganour flashed past the post
a head in front of Aboyeur. A
neck behind them was Louvois,
which a few weeks earlier had
won the 2,000 Guineas by a head
from Craganour.
A close finish indeed; so close
that many of the crowd by the
post, none of whom knew of the
tragedy, had to await the judge's
verdict before knowing the win-
ner. And when it did come, with
the decision in favour of Craga-
nour, there was ad immediate
sensation--the-stewards objected
to the winner,
Craganour had been running
very erratically in the closing
stages and was alleged to have
impeded at least one other horse
and prevented it coming through
to the front.
Fifteen minutes passed
twenty. .. , half an hour. Then
the all -clear was given, and
raganour's number was hoist -
ad. 'A greatcheer went up from
those who had becked the fa-
votlrite.
But the sensations were not
over even now. The "all clear"
was • found to be a hoax, and
.'once again Craganour's backers
were left in suspense as to the
fate of their money.
The next race was run and
then, finally, came the announce-
ment. "Craganour disqualified.
Race awarded to Aboyeur."
Still the drama was not quite
played out. Craganour's owner,
an American, could not -believe
the verdict and announced his
•intention to appeal against the
disqualification of his horse.. But
he waited till next day before
lodging it, and the stewards told
him he was then too late. Dis-
gusted, he vowed he would
never again race in England. He
sold • up his stable and returned
to, the United States.
But all these events, sensa-
tional as they were as a'purely
sporting 'story,have been thrust
into• the background of history
by the incident which so few
people saw.
The woman who flung herself
in front of the King's horse was
a 35 -year-old suffragette named
Emily Davison, who hit- upon
this daring scheme as a means
of drawing attention to the cain-
paign for vot& for women.
The suffragettes' organization
denied that they had any part in
the scheme, or any knowledge
of 'it. Whether or not the hot-
headed action of one of their
members did the movement any
good, that race has become
known as the "Suffragettes'
Derby."
Emily Davison, foolish as she
was, undoubtedly possessed cour-
age, and racing erected its own
memorial to her. It is because
of her action that there is now
a double rail to give a clear space
between the crowds and the
course,
"Fancy those
ing. I thought
separable."
"They were;
us to pull them
two guys fight -
they were in -
it took five of
apart."
