Marie Seattle Tampa Washington Williston SRSESKoSLRRRSRRSSSSSSESRESS | SLENoSSLSVSRARY CHICAGO, Jan. 4—As long as horses wear collars and fish snap at deer tails, the O’Briens will have business. Shortly after O’Brien came here from Ireland 52 years ago, he heard that the Indians used the hairy side of deerskin for healing and protecting wounds. Collars always were hard on horses, so O’Brien put two and two together.-He bought deer- skins from ‘Wificonsin Indians, made up pads fo strap on horse collars and—he had a good busi- ness for himself. He figures that he and his son, William, have made things easier for at least a million horses. They still sell pads from Maine to California and expect to carry on until the last horse drops. The O'Briens got a terrific shock several months ago. Wil- liam discovered that manufactur- ers of artificial fishing flies and bugs were paying good prices for deer tails because the soft, water- proof hair is just the thing for flashy orange, red, yellow and blue lures. The O'Briens groaned. Since 1885, they had been throwing away the tails. ELEVENTH ARTILLERY STILL CARRYING ON (Ry Associated Press) HONOLULU, T.
