Philanthropy, rather than world politics, has become her interest. She speaks Dutch like a native. She has a reputation for graciousness, poise and integrity—all traits that the Dutch like.

And she has a reputation as a hostess. A School Tale Her philanthropies have taken many forms. She strongly supports public health among the natives (there are 60.000,000 of them), es- pecially among lepers. She’s strong for native education, too.

GEIGER AP Feature Service | | | DENVER, March 31. — Colorado has a yardstick for measuring a trout fisherman’s efficiency. Preliminary results indicate a worm fisherman is just as good a fisherman, from an efficiency standpoint if not in the social scale, as a fly flipper. But there isn't anything defi- nite yet that might settle the long ‘s color blind and fails to appreci: ite the rainbow huegs of all the gaudy gadgets used as lures by some fishermen. “We started the thing, last year nd plan to keep it going in the ~oming season,” says C. N. Feast, chief of the Colorado Fish and Game Division. “We assigned two employees to patrol 13 miles of the South and Middle St. Vrain creeks, near Ly- s, Colo, We dumped 5,000 legal size fish, seven to nine inches long, into the stream. “The two employees interviewad standing debate whether a trout| Richard C.

And some of the things were astounding!™ lived near the creek, out of 5900 fishermen who tried their luck on the stream during ‘the season, “cnugm one-fifth of all the fish that were taken, | “But the study shows a visiting fisherman's luck improves remark- ably with each visit he makes to a stream that is strange to him,” says Feast. Weather a Factor The weather has some mysteri- \Uus influence upon a trout's appe- |tite. As the temperature of St. Vrain water grew warmer last | summer, fly fishing improved. The | best fishing was in August. The 12 fishermen who lived near the St. Vrain and who caught one- fifth of all the trout that were | taken fished an average of 26 times ieach during the summer and they | caught an average of 247 fish each. {Most of the times they went out they brought back the limit. ! o IS S ‘Franice Can'ts | vICHY, Fience March 31—Be- !cause France has many soldiers in prison camps and German troops POSTAL ODDITIES Y& Bao HanowRITING COST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MORE THAN , 80,000,000 A YEAR g Ony 10 0F 6000000 fop.

After the war, he continued his Army train- ing in the reserves and four years ago was commissioned a lieutenant. After that he rose to the rank of major in the reserves—but when he was called up for duty he wasserv- ing as a staff sergeant with the National Guard instructors at Ra- leigh.
