GOOD NEWS FOR FISH

Clerk?Approximately.

window. It had everything but fish
ing stuff in it. I'd like to see some
thing in a fishing rod.
Clerk?Who wouldn't?
Customer?You mean you have no
rods?
Clerk?There was a fellow who
came in here a month ago with a
nice rod, but he had a police es
cort and wouldn't let me handle it.
Customer?Did be want to sell it?
Clerk?No, he was just showing
off.
?
Customer?But the war has been
over for months; aren't the fishing
rod plants reconverting?
Clerk?Search me.
Customer?What are the factories
doing?
Clerk?Whatever they are doing
they are not making rods.
Customer?What's delaying them?
Clerk?They tell me it's the bam
boo.
Customer?The damned who?
Clerk ? Bamboo, bamboo 1 The
Japs had all the bamboo. And it
has to be seasoned anyhow before
we can use it for rods.
Customer?How's chances for a
rod by spring?
Clerk?Not too good.
Customer?What'll we fishermen
do?
Clerk?It looks as if you'd just
have to go on losing fish.
Customer?There used to be auc
tions of fishing equipment left in
the estates of sportsmen.
Clerk?Not any more. If a man
dies today and leaves a rod it con
stitutes a big estate and is confis
cated.
Customer?What if he also leaves i
a reel?
Clerk?It means a contest by all (
the heirs.
Customer?I suppose if the estate ;
included 300 yards of good line it ?
would go to the Supreme court

Tire-Tube Method
Of Post Treatment
Life of Fence Posts
Extended Thirty Years
Fence posts of nondurable wood
can be made to have 20 to 30 years
of life, or even more, by the simple
method of tire-tube treating. By this
method the bark is peeled for a dis
tance of 4 to t inches from the large
end of the post, to provide a smooth,
clean surface.
!
A section of old inner tube about
two feet long is slipped over the
peeled surface and bound in place.
The post is then laid on a rack with
j the large end about two feet or more
higher than the small end. In a
short time the preservative, con
tained in the tube, will begin to flow
into the sapwood of the post, forcing
the natural sap out at the small end.
When all the preservative has flowed
from the tire tube into the wood, the
tube is removed and the post taken
from the rack.
The length of time required for
the preservative to flow will depend
upon quantity used, condition of
wood, season, and other factors, and
will vary from S to 24 hours. The
preservative can be coal-tar creo
sote or mixtures of creosote with
other suitable oils.

Rustling Taffeta Now a Favorite
With Party-Going Teen-Agers
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
_ jL't A
AVERY important social season,
this. With holiday festivities
and other midwinter gala events
crowding one after another on the
present program, comes the "big
moment" for gay and flattering par
ty frocks. In a young girl's ward
robe of pretty-pretty "date" and
dance frocks, there is always room
for one more. Especially is it true
this winter, when the homecom
ing of men from the services is
bringing about an exciting new
urge among the fair sex to dress
up and look one's most attractive
self.
Then too, members of the teen
age group who have been spending
their holiday vacation at home will
be wanting to have at least one
knockout new dress to "show off"
when they go back to their re
spective colleges and schools. It's
a simple matter to make this dream
dress come true just by choosing
the season's favorite dress-up fab
ric, taffeta, and putting the sew
ing machine to work.
One reason that girls who have
learned or are learning to "make
their own" at their local sewing cen
ter are all enthusiasm over crisp,
rustling taffeta is that they find it
so easy to work with they can whip
up an elegant little frock in double
quick time. Now that the gadgets
and attachments on modern sewing
machines perform almost miracles
in way el shirring, ruffling and tuck
ing, it is becoming a hobby with am
bitious girls everywhere to learn to
sew. The mane they see what
charming clothes they can turn out
at comparatively low cost, the more
intrigued they become with the idea
of taking advantage of the endless
opportunities offered in local sew
ing centers and sewing classes held
in most of the big stores.
A gay young frock for the slim
waisted is shown to the right in the
illustration. It is made of vari-col
ored striped taffeta combined with
stark black crepe. The striped fab
ric is used far the bodice with its
saucy peplum that juts out crisply
over the hips. Briefed shoulder
sleeves ere shirred bito staccato
fullness. The bodice stripes below
the V-neckline accent and drama
tize the styling of this most attrac
tive bodice top. The slim straight
skirt is made of black crepe. You
will And this a most flattering lit
tle frock tor most any dress-up oc
casion.
The frock to the left is a youthful
model of green taffeta banded with
color-matched velvet. It can easily
be stitched up by the girl who
has learned to sew, or even by the
novice that has taken only a few
lessons in the art of sewing. The
deep round neckline band holds lit
tle shirrings in place at the front,
while cluster shirrings adorn the
skirt front below the snug-fitting
bodice. Wide velvet bands form the
shoulder cap sleeves for this charm
ing little gown.
Taffeta is indeed a magic fabric
in more ways than one aa proved
by how successfully it is used ia ev
ery possible mood this season. For
instance, designers are turning out
most provocative little frocks of
black taffeta that are made to look
definitely young because of their
ingenue sty hog with myriads of
sprightly little ruffles about girlish
off-shoulder necklines and abbrevi
ated sleeves, some trimmed with
lingerie beading rem through with
tiny velvet ribbon. The tiny-waist
bodies and full floor-length full-skirt
ed evening fawn of gay plaid or
stripe taffeta makes a perfect for
mal for the young girl, as does also
the long, fall taffeta stripe or plaid
skirt with a black Jersey top and
a dramatic belt. And here's the lat
est?they are making de luxe tea
aprons of handpainted taffeta.

Winter Sportswear
Made of Mouton Fur
Something new is happening in
the sportswear realm this winter.
It's the use of the now-so-popular
mouton fur far after-skiing and skat
ing costumes. A stunning skating
outfit highlights a yellow wool dreas

gether with a short cape and hood
in picturesque Crusader style. Fea
tured for a Stating costume is a
mouton short Jacket with matching
fur beret, worn with a Kelly green

fur. A weskit and tailored slacks of
fur present a practical and good
looking outfit for "after-ski" relaxa
tion. Other items created at fur in
clude short capes. Jackets, boxy
coats with matching berets ami fur
topped mittens. Bright crochet or
knit togs present many new and fas
cinating ideas. A wide shawl-like
scarf is crocheted of white or bright
color angora wool with long fringe
across each end. Appliqued above
the fringe are crochet flowers done
in bright colored yarn. Beret and
mittens to match make a charming
threesome.
Pajama Suits of Red Rayon

Novel, practical, "comfy" are
bright red pajama suits for sleep or
lounge wear. They art tailored to a
nicety with long-sleeved blouse lop.
Being suitable for sleeping and
lounging they have a dual personal
ity which makes them very practi
cal. Bold red rayon sports material
makes them imuaual and UkaUa.
They radiate cheer and warmth and
era really very smart looking.
DHJLY CONN has it all figured
out. Not only for himself?but
also for Joe Louis. The showing
made by returning ball players has
cheered him up.
The leading chal
lenger for the
heavyweight title
takes this angle?
"A number of
people have won
dered what sort of
fighting form Joe
Louis and I would
be able to show by
the date of our
meeting next sum
mfr A Int nf th?m
Billy Conn wem to think that
the bout will be
nothing but a pair of worn out old
timers doing the beat they can.
That doesn't make any sense in my
book.
"You remember they thought the
same way about a lot of ball play
ers. There was Hank Greenberg,
out four years, around 35 years old.
But Hank was almost as good as
ever, after a short workout. Then
there's Red Ruffing, close to 40.
And you can take up Bob Feller,
Charlie Keller, and most of the oth
ers. Most of the returned veterans
have stepped right back into the
middle of things. And several of
them were older than Joe Louis,
much older than I am.
"Both Louis and 1 have at least
two advantages over most at the
bail players?Greenberg, anyway.
We've been doing a lot of boxing.
I've bad something like 358 exhibi
tions to handle. That's more work
than I'd have gotten U I had stayed
(at home. Louis has had Just as
much. We've both had enough ring
work to keep pretty wen sharpened.
I mean not to get rusty.
Will ^Trim to 182 Pounds
"That's one edge. Now here's an
other?as a rule the ball players re
turning from service had only a
short while to get back in champion
ship shape. Louis and I will have
until June. Three months is about
all the training anybody needs for
a fight. I expect to work my weight
from 191 down to 183 pounds. I
wouldn't want to go below that. I
certainly won't lose any of my speed
at 182. That's eight pounds heavier
than I was in our first fight, where
I was a little too much on the light
side.
"I'd also like to say that I don't
figure I'm meeting any old, worn
out fellow in Joe Louis. After all
he is three years younger than Hank
Greenberg and nine years younger
than Red Ruffing, and no one is pick
ing on either that I've heard about."
There are still one or two rather
important factors that Conn must
consider. He is younger than Louis
and he is faster than Louis. But
Conn must also know that on the
day or night they meet, Louis will
be in the best possible physical
shape he can reach.
What a boot Conn? BlUv hen al
ways had a leaning la (he general
direction of (ho primrose trail.
And no toeh (rail ever leads to any
top, barring a few exceptions. Coon
is ;osng and headstrong, a fellow
who likes a good tine. Who
doesn't? Bnt no eae is gotag to beat
even an aging doe Leah Uklng a
good tiane.
Joe Louis st 31 is far from being
an old man. He is a trtSe over the
hill, but not so far over. He has
always been a great fighter, and
he will be pretty clooe to being a
great fighter the night he meets
Conn, or any one else, with the blue
chips doom.
Billy is a fellow you like, but he
has always been irresponsible and
hard to direct. He ban supreme
confidence in himself. He had too
much confidence in himself the
night he met Louis, far one ex
ample, after the 12th round of that
fight he wasn't looking Car a mere
victory, he was looking for a knock
out.
Peril of Over-Confidence
What Conn's many supporters are
afraid of is this?that Conn trill take
it for granted that he can whip Louis
in their next meeting, without work
ing too hard to reach this difficult
goal. If that happens Coon won't
have a chance. After all, be can't
punch with Louis, either with the
right or left hand.
It might surprise Billy to know
how many experts rate Louis the
better boxer, granting that Conn has
more speed. Taking no credit from
Conn, Louis was verging on the side
of staleness when they met before.
It is my belief that the Bomber
will be even harder to beat when
they meet again.
Conn has never been any too
keen about the grind of training.
Few ring men are. But this time
Pittsburgh Billy will need all he can
get?especially road work?and the
type of training needed to bring back
or to increase his speed. This
doesn't mean that the likable chal
lenger will have to spend an his
time until next June on the job.
It does mean, however, that he
should get started along the right
road and gradually bring himself to
the day be actually moves to his
training camp tor the final ep4s.
Bummer isn't so far away.
