rU Phillipr Jr MORE MEAT FOR THE AMATEUR FISHERMAN! The recent battle of deep tea fish ermen for more ration points for meht fbund wide public sympathy. Nothing makes a man hungrier then fishing. ? And that goes for ordinary fisher men, too. Which prompted Elmer Twitchell, the famous river, Inlet and lake angler, to come out strong ly today in favor of more grub for the amateur and semi-pro boys. ? "Have yea seen those lunches that are being pat np these days for the individual small-time fisherman?" demanded Mr. Twltchell. "Not a calory in a carload!" ? "It's reached a point where it's almost impossible for a fisherman to get his bait into the water. It's snapped up in midair, not by a fish but by fellow fishermen!" he added. ? "Late last autumn," Elmer con tinued, "the box lunches provided anglers was so lacking in nourish ment that some fishermen would leap out of a boat and take any bait a fish would take. In fact, when the season ended they were taking arti ficial lures. ? ' "1 wai an t fairly crowded lake easting far bass in October. I was osing a big wooden pine with a red head and white stripes. On my first east two fishermen dove for it!" ? Elmer insisted that in another in stance he was using a metal spin ner, and as it went by the end of a dock a fellow angler made two strikes at it. ? . "Amateur anglers, arise!" de manded Mr. Twitchell. "The pro fessional fisherman ain't getting a much tougher break than we are. What does the wife put in her hus band's lunch when he goes fishing these days? A jelly sandwich, six animal crackers, a stale doughnut and a little cold coffee 1 * "Ton can't fish an hoar anywhere without getting hungry enough to eat a horse. That's why farmers never pasture a horse near a trout stream or bass lake. ? "In normal times a man setting out for a day's fishing toted along enough grub to sustain life in a nor- I mot adult for six woeks.. ~ Boy, what sandwiches! Roast beef,, lamb, corned t beef, pork and what" have J you1 That's what-made fishing en joyable. The average flaherman didn't care half as much for fishing as he did for enjoying a heavy meal or two without bothering about table manners." ? Elmer began getting up a peti tion to OPA at once. "Spring is here, and the amateur angler is in a bad way," he said. "Unless he gets a little substantial food in that lunch box he will be grabbing feather lures!" ? ? ? PRIVATE PURKEY WANTS A GX AT THE PEACE TABLE Dear Harriet: Like I told you some time ago I am working with my pais on a sort of League of G.I. Peace Kibitzers and the thing Is getting into shape fast. Of course Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin is handling things okay now at places like Yalta, but is all just expressing intensions and ideas. When the war ends and the peace delegates begin to huddle the real fighting will start and nothing will help to make them stick to their ob jeckttves like maybe some G.I.s at the-peace- tables. I don't-see why there should be ?ny opposition to G.X. representation in the peace. If there had been a free for all battle with gangsters in your street and you had to put up a tough fight would anybody tell you to scram under the bed and keep your big mouth shut while the whole question of further trouble was han dled by a group at well-dressed strangers who had cleaner collars and better table manners? ? So when a war ends what is about insisting that the G.I.S who has been getting their noggins knocked off all through it Just drop everything, put a gag in their mouths and never speak above a whisper while the whole question whether they will have to do R over again is decided by professional peacemakers who never slept in a hole full of ice water, et their meals in a snowdrift or swum every river in Africa and Europe? ? 9 ?

CATSUMA strutted on his bantam legs as he worked about the hedges of the park close to the great shipyards. So clever 1 Many things could be concealed among the low ly tools, and ntany too beneath the humble guise of a gardener. But. no temporary abasement was too much when it was for the glory of the Rising Sun. None?not even the killing of one's own brother. It had been so easy to be smug gled into the barbarians' country and make his way to where lived his brother Mltsuna in this mid western city of shipbuilding along the muddy river. A swift rip of the knife, a note of resignation to the Yankee capitalist who had employed Mitsuna as yard boy, and Satsuma became Mitsuna, a naturalized citi zen of the" United States whose rec ord was faultless in the eyes of the investigators. He spat venomously as he re called the large, lazy man with so sharp eyes who pretended to enjoy the park the while he was observ ing Satsuma. But Satsuma was too smart to be caught off guard and, by ways known to himself, he had discovered that the man, also disguised in humble dress, was Lieu tenant Roland Mason of Naval In telligence. As the morning wore on he began to wish that Lieutenant Mason would appear. It would be so good to fool him with his new ruse, to look so stupid while knowing he was being so clever. His shears clipped sharply along the hedge, his bright little eyes intently watching the entrance to the park. Ah! The lazy-looking one had en tered and seated himself on a bench across the lagoon. It took Satsuma over half an hour to move toward him, methodically clipping as if ob livious to the other's presence. Sat suma had patience. If Lieutenant Ah! The lazy-looking one had en tered and seated himself. Mason should decide to speak he would halt and prattle in the loose American fashion though he would be guiding the conversation to an objective. If not, he would continue on his way and await another op portunity. "Nice day." Lieutenant Mason's voice was as lazy as he pretended to be, and his eyes regarded Sat suma dully. Satsuma straightened, a mask of stolidity slipping over his features. "Very nice," he said in careful Eng lish. He could not resist adding, "You visit often." "I like the view. Don't youf" Satsuma gazed around the park, carefully avoiding the yards. "Much work," he shrugged. "It helps to keep up appear ances." Mason idly tapped the newspaper he was holding. "You Chinese are making it plenty tough for the monkey-men." Although his spirit writhed under the double insult Satsuma was too wary to let the lieutenant know his barb had hit home. "I am good American citizen." He smiled bland ly and bent to resume his work. %T_ _ s:. -* - 1-? - ? nuw was uie nine MJ lei UlC pic ture work itself out of his pocket. The lieutenant would rise to the bait. The fact that he and his brother looked much alike had made Sat tuma's precaution simple. He had se cured a car of the same make and year as Mitsuna's, had pored ovet the records at the courthouse to get the correct license number, and had manufactured a plate of that same year. Then, a snapshot of himseU in front of the automobile with the license showing. At last the photograph fell from his pocket, and Satsuma moved slowly on his way. He barely con cealed a triumphant grin as he saw the slow one move swiftly for it and examine it with so sharp eyes before he called in his slow voice, "You dropped something!" "Ah yesas! Thank you so much." Satsuma returned with a gleam oi something akin to pleasure in his bright little eyes. As he held out his hand to take the picture the cold bite of metal snapped over his wrist. "So sorry!" Lieutenant Mason's voice crackled. "You Jape are so good at copying. Too bad! But in Missouri in 1943 the licenses were only small tags set over the out dsted large metal ones which you have taken the pains to repro duce. You see, the metal wa saved that way has long been flying over New Ways of Styling Add Zest To the Story of Smart Prints By CHERIE NICHOLAS AS A STYLE theme what I more fascinating to discuss HcB than the gay and lovely print | frocks which are sounding so refreshing a note in the spring song of fashion I The new prints are something to rave about. They are indeed "con versation prints." However, their glory is matched this spring in the styling of the dresses made of them. This is' so new and original they carry an air of "something differ ent" from the print frocks in seasons of yore. There is, for instance, this mat ter of sleeves which designers are playing up so dramatically. They are really very temperamental, go ing short sometimes to the vanishing point. In fact, the new brief sleeve is a most outstanding style feature in print frocks this spring. The cap sleeve is designed in versatile ways, and there are numerous extended - shoulder effects sans sleeves. However, the short sleeve has a rival. It's the very chic softly styled wrist-deep sleeve, the fullness of which is gathered into the wrist band as you see in the lovely posy print frock to the left'in the illus tration.' This type sleeve is de cidedly "in the news*" this spring. Nate In; this Jong-sleeved disss, that" the patterning of the print deftly suggests stripes done in spring blos soms because stripes are ever so style-important this season. Another style message that this pretty frock brings you is that skirts are more of the dressmaker type in cur rent styling of voguish prints. A re stricted fullness at the skirt front, as here shown, is very figure flatter ing. Note, too, that jewelled but tons add glamour to this charming frock. You can tell at a glance, looking at the print frock pictured to the right, what's new as new can be about this dress. It's the serapi side drape that has arrived-in fash ionland coming straight from Holly wood. It is such unusual style de tails as this serapi that make this season's print frocks look different from past fashions. Contrast bands of blue and yellow border this scarf-like drape. The sleeves of con servative length fling a challenge to the shorter types, (or many women prefer the sleeve that covers the el bow. When you go print-shopping be prepared to be shown the most amazing designs and patterning, as for instance, bird-cage motifs to gether with winging birds fluttering all over a colorful background. An other print shows tiny colorful horses in spirited pose. Be sure to look up the parasol prints?little open parasols so gaily colorful and new looking. If it's novelty-plus you are seeking, you'll find it in an amusing but very attractive safety pin print done in black on a white background. A dress recently shown made of this print is fastened with three large black safety pins down -the front opening of the bodice. This is' one of-the reasons why the mew prints are being referred to as . "converse tion.prints." The florals this season are very beautiful. Stripes done in flowery de sign are very new and attractive. Prints that etch the design in black on white are ever so smart. One of the new trends prints frosty whits flowers on pastel backgrounds. The rose theme is still popular and there is quite a showing of clover blos soms in realistic colors. Wide spaced dramatic florals on navy or black are excellent style. Styling trends that make print frocks look outstandingly new highlight side tied drapes, animated peplums, back-flare to skirts emphasized with ruffled self-fabric cascades, new harem drapes, big bustle bows and so on; the new style details are endless. This all goes to show that print frocks have taken an impor tant new fashion stride that adds greatly to their interest. Balssaod be Wastarn Newspaper Union. Chic Eyelet Trim Eyelet embroidery and eyelet ted effect* of every description are in for another big season. This be guiling junior dress tells you one of the ways in which eyelet adorns the mode this spring. The frock is of pale blue spun rayon trimmed with white eyelet. On the bodice top it is applied so as to form the new broad ened shoulder lines, giving just a suggestion at the now-so-fashion able cap sleeve. The eyelet banding appliqued on the skirt achieves a graceful pep htm outline. 9 Curfew Fashions Are Newest Style Theme And now curfew fashions I What with the new curfew rulings there arises the need of costumes of less formality and yet very dressy for the re-arranged evening hours. The reaction to all this is the return of the semi-formal dress-up street length dress. Low necks, brief sleeves, lovely material and devas tating hats with beguiling acces sories answer the call. For the cur few evenings designers are creat ing handsome short-length gowns also suits of rich fabrics such as faille, taffeta, moire that are en hanced with sparkling Jewelled but tons, or to the dress of uncluttered simplicity they add an important Jewelry piece or a fetching ensem ble of matching necklace, bracelet and earrings. The festive accent also is given by wearing a huge rose at the waistline. Superb blouses are worn with handsome suits and the hat, be it a tiny flower confection or a stunning wider brim, adds the final note of flattery. Braid-Embroidered Tonic Coat la Strikingly New A new costume coat makes its ap pearance, and it may be regarded as that which is on the way as a new fashion future. The tunic is hesvily braided in black in a deep t border effect around the hemline | and upon the turnback cuffs that fin- | ish bell sleeves that are wide at the i wrist. There is a plastron of braid ing down the front and around the | collarles* neckline. Altogether it is a < "grand lady" looking cost. Comes in | white, wide or pastels with Mack ' braid. ^ v, 1 jSm Homemade Electric Pig Brooder of Value T ?. i. p Simple to Construct ?, . And Eaayto Operate "TpHE electric pig brooder le feet becoming popular and profitable on farms where piga are farrowed in late winter or early spring. The brooder prevenfe chilling end keeps sows from lying on pigs?the com mon causes of losses. Death losses of early spring pigs were reduced from 34.3 to 16.9 per ELECTMC inn Mm res cent by the use of electric brood ers in Indians tests. Electric brooders saved an average of ltt more pigs per litter. An electric pig brooder is inexpen sive and easy to make. On many a farm there are enough pieces of lumber to make one or more brood ers. The sketch shows how to make an electric brooder to put in one corner of the farrowing pen. For the first few days use a 180 watt lamp if the weather is ex tremely cold. At the end of a week, a 80-watt bulb may supply enough heat When pigs are 10 days or two weeks old, heat can be discontinued. It is important to use a rubber covered shop extension cord com plete with rubber-covered socket. Standard brass shell sockets are not suited to this type of use. It is also important to protect the brooder with a plank nailed across the cor ner, so a nervous sow cannot de stroy it. Spray Cattle to Kill Destructive Grubs Cattle grubs which are responsible for $100,000,000 annual loss hi meat, milk and leather in the U. S., can be controlled by spraying cattle Power tin; Used. backs with insecticide under pres sure. When the insecticide is sprayed into the grab hides, the grubs tell out end ere killed by the insecti cide before they can fall ofl and re produce heel flies which in turn at tack cattle, laying egga which turn into grubs.
