In fact, when the average fisherman invades alt water after fish his main objective has come to Je a fighting salmon which is fishing sport in any language, But there is in Alaskan waters a great supply of fish which thus far have been put to no commercial use and because they have not the average person! usually throws them off the hook as undesireable for | human consumption. For example there is the lowly flounder, about as sporting to catch as an old shoe, but as fine eating as any fish found in salt water, providing one has the patience to properly skin them. An offshoot of the halibut family, the flounder, prop- erly prepared, is a delicacy. Most of us will order filet of sale in a restaurant, but we’ll throw the flounder back in the water. Filet of sole is nothing more than flounder dressed up for the table. Then there is a fish which swims the waters from Bristol Bay as far south as 3itka and can be found on occasion in the waters near Juneau. It is officially known to the Bureau of Fisheries as the Pollack. A rather sporting fish, resembling the trout in mauay ways and sometimes gaining a length of three feet, the Pollack makes a tasty fish dish. Doubtless, there are many other varieties if the fisherman took the time to discover them. None, perhaps, will ever take the place of salmon on light tackle for downright sport, but there are lots of fish in the sea which are edible and in the years to come we probably will put them to use.

But since the British coro- nation and its traditional short-legged garb there has been revived interest. James W. Gerard, former The fact is that the American male leg does not com- pare very favorably with the underpinning displayed by the opposite sex and most ‘men are willing that the situation remain as is. There are a good many things that men can boast about, but a leg isn’t one of them. There probably are few things on the American landscape more grotesque than the average American male leg. It's a fine thing to stand on. It will carry the male over mountain and through the valley after deer; against the turbulent stream in search of trout; all day at his labors. But as a think of beauty it has no place in the anatomy gallery. The late old Commoner, Willlam Jennings Bryan, once roared at the world “you can’t make a monkey out of me.” Most Americah men feel the same way when it comes to wearing short pants and exposing their underpinning to public gaze. Wings Over the Atlantic (Cincinnati Enquirer) Uneventfully, and just as if it were an everyday affair, huge flying boats operated by Pan-American Airways spanned the North Atlantic on simultaneous | eastward and westward flights last week as a prelude' to the establ: ment of regular trans-Atlantic pas-| senger and m service, The air lines which are cooperating in the venture have left as little as possible to chance. Pan-American Airways has amassed a vast fund of knowledge and experience in overseas flying in linking the North and South American continents and, more recently, in its conquest of the Pacific. The English line has been relatively as successful in air navigation between the nations of the British Empire. Pooling their resources provided the two airlines with an aggregation of ex- |one word each day. perience and equipment sufficient to justify a belief that if the Atlantic can be spanned with a practical commercial airline, they can do it. The preparation which, unknown generally to the public, preceded this week's test flights marked the difference between them aNd most of the’tther trans- Atlantic crossings of heavier-than-air ‘traft. The difference was the provision of an ample safety factor. | The flying boats were so designed that motor failure | in mid-Atlantic would not be certain disaster. Their equipment was such that most of the gamble was removed from point-to-point navigation; their pilots could place their reliance upon things more substan- tial than luck.
