HE SAYS FISH TASTE LIKE OIL Battle Creek, Neb., Anglev Made HU Catch in Riv er Near Norfolk Norfolk, Neb.—(8pecial)—P. C Butler, expert fisherman at Battle Creek, reports that he caught twe large catfish from the Elkhorn riv er this week but was unable to eat them after they had been fried on account of a strong oil taste. This report is a surprise to sev eral Norfolk fishermen who for al most two years have caught few lish having an oily taste. About two years ago the gas company at Norfolk took steps to eliminate pol lution of the Elkhorn by its waste materia,1 and since that time ha; received no complaints from ang lers, officials of the Iowa-Nebraska Ln?*it and Power company, owner of the gas plant now, say. There is a possibility, several fishermen, said, that the fish con tracted the oily taste some place other than in the Elkhorn river or this section, since they probably have come up stream from the low er reaches of the river or from tha Missouri river.

E’en the visitor who arrives while you’re still in your working costume. In fact, if you met some of them on the country club porch—as you are sure to do—you'd never think of calling them housedresses. “A cotton sports dress” would be your thought. Sports Details House dresses of this type use de tails such as are found on dresses specially designed for tailored sports wear. Revers, deep yokes, shirt bosom fronts, flat pique bands and collars and cuffs, rows of buttons. And they’re made of many of the fashionable sports materials, too, . . . sturdy linen, old-fashioned seersucker that’s newly in fashion this spring, pique and novelty woven cottons or gay cotton prints. Easy to see, isn’t it, why house dresses of this type (one of them is illustrated) are ready to step out at a moment’s notice for a round of golf or a set of tennis or a drive around the town. Feminine Details Of course not all housedresses look as sportily tailored as these. There are, for instance, those crispy, feminine ones with a ruffle here and a bow there that make you look like an illustration for a model kitchen. Instead of copying the sports | dress, these have taken a detail or two from the afternoon dress,,, adapting it to go into the washtub and through the mangle. They’re often cut with diagonal closing lines, ruffled necklines, sashes, organdie trimming and pleated ruffles. Lighter Materials And you'll find them made of lighter materials—dotted svtss, eye- j let batiste and sheer prints. Quite smart enough to wear for an, informal afternoon call on your neighbor, or sitting on your own porch or in the yard. All these dresses, even the more feminine ones, are simple. Simple enough to be easy and comfortable to work in and to launder speedily. Small patterned three-tone prints arc the smart ones for the percales. Linen frocks are fashion-right in white or pastel tints. Seersucker, of course, follows the fashion for stripes—in brown-and white, blue-and-white, black-and white. Dotted swiss becomes practical with black, navy blue of green back grounds. And the eyelet batiste, so I smart for afternoon dresses in light colors, is just as smart for house dresses in dark shades. For Heavy Cleaning When it comes to really heavy housework, the smart woman al ways has on hand a supply of the good old apron type of dress. Especially the one that can be fastened with either side of the front exposed. (When one side is soiled, fasten it the opposite way.) Smocks are useful. One of the newest is made to look very mili tary with chromium covered buttons that won't rust and with stitching in the shape of neat, notched lapels. It’s fitted more trimly at the waist line, too, in the manner of street dresses. Youthful Pajamas Younger housewives often like the cuteness of pajamas and a new one is cut on masculine lines with a close-fitting round neck buttons straight down the front and three capacious pockets—two in front and one at the back hip for all the world like a workingman’s overall. These are practical, toe, if you go in for gardenng. Monday: YVhats new in lingerie trimmed dresses? Glorifying Yourself By Alicia Hart * _ i SPRING BEAUTY ' In between seasons is a hard time for beauty. When Spring finally comes and everyone has her spring wardrobe ready to put on, her spring house claning done ond inventory taken, then there is plenty of time to sit down and get spring beauty rc&dv. But, your skin isn't constituted so that Is can wait and then o\cr night become soft as silk. You have to do your home work every day or your skin won't be it's best. I have been asked for home made skin lotion, something that will keep the skin from chapping ip winter time, from being harsh ened by spring winds. If you want something that you ! can keep by your kitchen sink' or I your office desk, to put onto your 1 hands and rub over your face after i washing, good old glycerine and rose water, that anv dmagist will mix for you, is an execellent stand by For a lotion that has astringent qualitiesh. you can make your own by using one part rub-alcohol, one part glycerine and two parts fresh ly atralnod lemon Juice. The lem on give* It certain bleaching quali ties, which no woman minds. It you find it difficult to keep on your daily beauty schedule of cleansing and creaming morning and night, I suggest that at least you use a lotion after washing. It doesn't take long to make your skin rough through lack of care. This lotion protects it until you can give your full 20 minutes nightly to your skin and half as much time mornings. Don’t get so excited over new cioffures and hats that you neglect vour skin. You can’t be too lovely this spring to live up to the new hats and clothes. VEILS.

Don’t just do your lips. Begin on the inside, not the out. Rouge your gums, too, if they look anaemic. Not too much. They mustn’t look bloody. But having the inside and the outside of your mouth match gives you a vital vivid look of youth. If your lips aren’s a Cupid’s bow don’t weep about it. Most of all don’t try to make them one. Em phasize the upper lip. Some wom en even go so far as to use two shades of lipstick, the upper heav ier. They must be the same kind' of red, however. If your mouth is wide, stop lip sticking just before you get to the end. If your mouth droops as if you were too sad for words, red den the upper lip almost to the end, shaping it upwards with a little flip at the end — not a flip you can see too readily. Rouge the lower lip onfy seven-eighths of the way across. This, you will find, changes the shape of your mouth substantially. Tf your upper lip is too heavy, be sure you work well within the dellned edge. Keep the lipstick shallower than your lip. That helps, too. There are several new lipsticks on the market. There is an auto matic one, in any of the new shades, that is handy, to say the least. There is a new compact that has lipstick and loose powder^ a neat contrivance. There are new evening sets in pastel colors that include an off-white set of compact and lipstick that is stun ning. And, last but not least, there is a new line out that has a sleek, modernistic black container for its lipstick — as for all its products—that you can have mon ogrammed or initialed. A nice little vanity that most women will appreciate. SnORTS BY MARK BARRON Prom Minneapolis Tribune There is a youngster out Long Island way who has gotten himself into dire trouble with the neigh borhood kids. The whole thing started without criminal intent on his part. He owned a flock of carrier pigeons and comeone offered to buy them. The youngster sold them, but the pigeons escaped from their roost and flew right back home again. Which gave the kid an idea. He has sold those pigeons over again a half dozen times, and always sees to it that they escape from their new homes. The other kids who have been buying the elusive pigeons are go , ing to declare a vendetta. Another amazing story from Long Island concerns a young cou ple in Great Neck who had just gotten married. They had furnished their new home luxuriously, in cluding valuable rugs, silverware and other articles which cost a pretty penny, indeed. Among the wedding presents they received a pair of seats to the first night of a new musical show, ac companied only by a card on which scribbled "Guess who sent these.” much pleased and came into New york to see the show. When they returned home that night they found their house had been com pletely ransacked. On a table in the dining-room they found a note: "Now You Know.” Our London operative relays the classical tale of the first night of a new musical show when Rutland Barrington was singing. Someone turned to W. S. Gilbert, Barrington marvelous? He s sing sitting in a box and said: ‘Isn’t ing in tune.” "Don’t let that worry you,” Gil bert retorted. “It’s only first night nervousness.” That is a fairly macabre ending they described about what started out to be a practical joke at a house party not far from the upper reaches of New York a few vreeks ago. The buttler was a frightened, timid old fellow, and he had been unusually nervous because of re cent housebreakings in the neigh borhood. A practical jokester on the party decided to have some fun. so he obtained a pistol and loaded it with blank cartridges. He sneaked through a window into a drawing room where the butler was stand ing. | Naturally the old fellow was scared out of his wits as the joke ster stood there waving the pi-rtol and he made a move to run. The jokester fired a couple of the blank* and the butler fell tc the floor. He had died from fright. - 1 -♦♦ FISH RECORD THREATENED Oidahcma City — (UP) — More than 100,000 channel catfish will be produced in Oklahoma this sea son, according to Ben E.
