PREPARING FOR A BIG CATCH
•TTOIS la the first step In catcmng
* fish as It's done by the natives
of Mexico. The two shown here
are spinning the cord which later
will be woven, or knit, into sturdy
fish nets—some small and fine
meshed, not unlike those used in
chasing butterflies; others meshed
like a tennis net and so Jaige that
several men in widely separated
boats are required to manipulate
them. Making these nets is one
feature of the fish Industry in which
women and children can give the
head of the house a hand.
In little river-side or coastal vil
lages where fishing is the main
business of the day, dnd the catch
is the inhabitants' chief means of
livelihood, a series of novel sights
are presented to voyagers visiting
the country on the fortnightly
cruises from New York and Cali
fornia.
Early morning unfolds a shadow
picture of men hastening to the
waterfront, scrambling into their
battered boats and setting out for
the fishing grounds. Mid-day, if
all has gone well, lights up a scene
in which mounds of fish appear
along the shore ’glinting in the sun
like piles of gleaming armour, and
streets are walled with nets
stretched on poles like cobwebs
hung with dewdrops. And day fades
out on interesting close-ups of the
villagers repairing old nets or mak
ing new, their hands flying like
shuttles over the shapeless mass of
cords.

Radio Planes
Trap Bandits
Leicester, England.—A short
wave radio equipment, one airplane
and a fleet of swift police cars re
cently demonstrated how easily it
is to trap and offset the depreda
tions of motor bandits.
A car containing thugs, suppos
ed to have rifled a bank, was given
a 10-minute start on the pursuers.
They were spotted and trapped
within less than half an hour.
For the purpose of demonstration
the airdrome was regarded as police
headquarters. A description of the
car was wirelessed within 30 se
conds the airplane was in the air
chasing the bandis, and relaying
a description of their flight to the
pursuing cars.
Eavesdropping on the police
wireless conversations this is what
was heard:
"Hullo, police car, police air
plane calling! Now over Lutter
worth road and have sighted the
wanted car proceeding north.”
"Hullo, airplane; police car an
swering. O. K. We will head them
off towards Bruntingthorpe.”
"Hullo, airplane! O. K. now. We
have held up and seized.

Boise, Idaho.—Mrs. Jack Hath
away, believes in making the most
jf every opportunity.
She recently collected more than
two quarts of ladybugs from her
garden and then advertised to Cali
fornia orchardists they were for
sale.
Can’t induce people to saw much
wood now, but the old fiddlers are]
sawing up a.n awful lot of catgut.
Opinion differs as to the proprie
ty of wearing shorts, but those who
have good looking knees seem to be
lieve in it.

'Home Town Thought
If you fail to help push your
home town ahead, other people fol
low your example, and remain in
active. Thus the power of the
community is weakened.
Every time you spend money at
home, you sow seeds of prosperity.
When you spend money away, those
seeds are sown in somebody else s
field.
When you advertise certain
goods, not merely do people come
in to see and buy those goods, but
they see other things in the store
and buy them.
The public has a tremendous cap
acity for forgetting things. They
have a way of forgetting a store
that does not advertise.
If the people could only remem
ber to pay their bills as well as they
remember to collect those owed
them, business would run along
much better.
The people who forget the good
old home store when they have
money to spend, help make their
town a forgotten one on the map.
The business men are studying
public relations, but many of them
say their wives’ relations are all
they can attend to now.

JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M-P-£T" I
BITES AND STINGS
In hot weather, when people are
much out of doors, with children
playing on the grass, wounds of a
varying degree of severity are com
mon. Spider-bites always produce
more or less terror for mothers such
insects being considered particularly
venomous. I can remember when
death from some unknown cause
was attributed to the sting cf a
venomous spider. All guess-work.
In these modern times, it is very
easy to obtain good professional
attention—and it is always the wise
thing to do. A small bottle of
"Spirit cf Ammonia” is a good
thing to take along on your picnic;
it is a good application for the sting
of any flying insect, such as bees,
wasps, yellow-jackets, &c. The
wound should be kept wet with the
ammonia solution, until the pain
is gone.
I never advise around an insect
sting with any sort of household
instrument; you are as likely to
spread infection as you are to cor
rect it. We have—or at least I
have—revised my ideas of pro
cedure in bites and stings of in
sects, and I believe I have no regrets
with the change.
It doesn’t do any harm to bathe
an insect wound with soap and
water, especally if the site be dusty
or on a perspiring surface. And
then—if you are fortunate to have
the KING OF EMERGENCY RE
MEDIES with you—a bottle of
Tincture of IODINE. It is a good
application in ALL cases, regardless
of their origin. Your doctor will
tell you the same, as soon as he
arrives—if you call him.
Do you remember when the
"family almanac” sagely advised
that we remove be© stings by press
ing the wound with a watch-key?
The crudity—the horror of it!
Watches required keys to wind
them in those days.
The day of rest has become the
day of rush.

YOUR PENNY IS
BIGGER
WHEN SPENT FOR ELECTRICITY
A PENNY—one penny—a small copper penny—what can you i
buy with it? A stick of gum? A tiny piece of chocolate? ;|
But when it’s spent for electricity, the purchasing power of a
penny is mightily increased. In fact, one cent becomes quite a big,
robust coin. That’s because electricity is so cheap. Look:
After the consumption of 30 K. W. hours, which is less than the average family’s ;
requirements for lighting alone,
A SINGLE PENNY WILL-*
MAKE 37 pieces of golden brown toast.
KEEP a 2 5-watt light burning from dark ’till daylight (12% hrs.)
BRING in more than six half-hour programs on average radio.
FAN you for six hours.
KEEP food fresh and make ice cubes five hours.
OPERATE electric iron for half an hour.
VACUUM clean eight room-size rugs (two hours, five minutes).
OPERATE food mixer five hours. |
WASH all dishes for a full week (22% meals).
WASH. 3 % tubs of clothes.
GIVE over six hours relief from pain with a heating pad.
