Preparing fish dishes is not a particularly pleasant job, but then the same may be said of many other branches of cooking. This aversion to fish is not, how- ever, peculiar to those who prepare it. Those who have little or noth- ing to do with cooking sometimes refuse quite unaccountably fish dishes put before them. In Switzerland a certain lake fish is cooked and served au nat- urel, and the fishes look for all the world as if any minute they might swim off their serving dish. It is natural that a sensitive eye should shrink from these, and as a sensitive palate cannot stomacu what does not please the eye, the fishes are not popular with visitors. In preparing fish, particularly the kind that is cooked whole, it is wise to have forethought for the sensitive palate. Heads are always removed, of course, but not every- one thinks of removing also the tails of say, kippers, bloaters, had- dock, or any other fish. All pos- sible suggestion of fin should also be removed, for this looks unappe- tizing. Again one serving of un- der done fish would be enough to put anyone off fish for life. It fs. therefore, very important to see that fish is cooked sufficiently. Another reason for a fish aver- sion is often the fact that the smen of fish is so unpleasant, A certain odor cannot be avoided, of course, whilst it is being cooked. Newver- theless much may be done to keep the knowledge from the rest of the household. The kitchen window may he opened wide and the kitch- en door shut fast. The remains are a problem also. The business of clearing up may make the housewife decide once and for all that fish is simply not worth while but much, much worse than thig is the possibility of eat- ing another day from a plate or with a fork that has a suggestion of fish about it. You cannot be too scrupulous in your treatment of any utensil used for cooking or gerving fish. The fish pan or basket must be treat:d to a bath of boiling soda-water, then to a bath of plain boiling wat- er. Fish slice and spoon must be boiled. When washing-up operations ine clude some fishy items and others, leave everything even motely connected with fish until last and after well washing in warm soapy water, treat to 2 thors ough rinsing with cold Wrap all fish remains in paper and burn, if possible some | awe. Wales Robbed of Good Luck When Animal Becomes Alarmed and Disappears Nairobi, Kenya Colony, British East Africa, Feb. 24--The Prince of Wales has been robbed by bad luck of a chance to shoot a big bull elephant after traveling nearly 100 miles on foot in search of him and finally within 40 yards 'of the animal. The Priuge's misfortune was re- vealed by Captain D. G. Finch-Hat- ton, famous hunter who accom- panied the Prince's party on an ex- pedition into the African jungles, whence they returned Saturday. He said the elephant got scent of the porters just as the Prince was preparing to shoot and quickly crashed away through the jungle and got out of range, He described the animal as a big beast with tusks that must have weighed 100 pounds each, Near Kaigau, however, Prince killed a fine buffalo the with SHIES AT PRINCE the first shot, He is looking the pic- | ture of health and impressed every- one with his walking prowess and The Prince will stay Governor Edward Grigg | for a few days before the Masai game preserve photographic expedition. | endurance. with oir OYSTERS FOOT BROAD GROWN IN NORTHWEST Scattle, Feb: 24. --Transplanted Ja panese oysters in beds at Oyster Bay, near Olympia, Wash., have reached a size of 12 to 14 inches across, Prof. I'revor Kincaid, head of the Zoology department of the University of Washington has revealed. The mullusks were planted about seven' years ago to determine wheth er the Oriental biv: would thrive and spawn in Puget Sound waters.

It is doubtful if any one changes his mind more often than does Red- dy Fox. He changes his mind to suit the conditions of the moment, He is very clever at changing his mind. The result is, you can never be at all sure as to just what Reddy Fox will or will not do, It was getting along toward spring and Reddy Fox was glad of it. He was tired of winter. Winter is al- ways a hard time with Reddy. It was a time when one needs to have plenty of food, for food makes ener- gy and warmth and in winter one needs much of both. Yet at this sea- son food is difficult to get. Reddy has to spend much of his time hunt- ing for enough food to keep him alive. But hard as the winter is, there is a time between winter and real spring which is in some ways teh hardest time of all. Most of the win- real spring which is in some ways the ter food supPly has been caten and the spring supply has not yet appear- ed, So when spring once shows signs of coming Reddy is in a hurry to haye it arrive. It happened that Reddy had been over to the pond of Paddy the Bea- ver, deep in the Green Forest. On his way back he just happened to pass near the tree which Blacky the Crow had occupied the year before as a home. He and Mrs. Black had built a nest there. Reddy happened to think of that and decided that he would go along that way and see if Blacky happened' to be about, It might be that Blacky was going to use that pest again. You see, Reddy has often learned from Blacky where a meat could be obtained without run ning too much risk. Blacky's sharp eyes miss very little that comes with- in their range. So Reddy trotted along thinking nothing in particular beyond the fact that he wished he knew where he could get a good meal. Suddenly, without warning, Reddy was struck a sharp blow that made him yelp, Yes, sir, it - made him yelp. He sprang to onc side and hastily looked this way and looked that way and 180ked the other way, He saw noth- ing and no one to: account for that blow. It gave him a queer feeling. There was no imagination about it. That blow had hurt. Reddy glared about. Then he heard a certain A Sudden Change of Mind By Thornton W. Burgess "We mean that we don't want you around here," hissed Mrs. Hooty glaring down at him were two pairs of great yellow eyes.

"What do you mean by striking me like that?" he de- manded., "We mean that we don't want you around here," hissed Mrs. Hooty. "This is our hunting ground. We don't allow others to hunt here." "Who is hunting?" demanded Red- dy. "I was simply trotting along about my own business." "Well, suppose you keep right on trotting along about yourgown busi- ness," retorted Hooty. "I'll do as I please," replied Red- dy defiantly, "You won't make me go if I don't want to." the Owl knew it, too. Reddy had no desire to be struck again, or to have his coat torn by those great claws of Hooty's. So he. merely looked up at Hooty and rs. Hooty and snarled. Then he started to trot along once more, Of course, he trot- ted along in the direction he had been going. However, he took but a few steps before down came. Mrs. Hooty, and Reddy dodged barely in time to avoid being hit again, Right then and there Reddy changed his mind.

It is said that this vase has no parellel in any existing collections of Egyptian antiquities. ° A number of additional neck- laces have been found. One is com- posed of 4,000 rubies mounted in a magnificent gold chain and pro- bably belonged to the mother of Rawer, - These valuable objects were dis- covered in "serdabs," niches re- served for statues of the dead. More than 20 of these serdabs have been found, one of them containing a stutute of Rawer surrounded by alabaster vases which probably con- tained natural flowers when he wag buried.

SENATOR WILSON CHOOSFS COSTUME After Much Consideration Canada's Woman Senator Settles Dispute About Dress | | Ottawa, Feb, 21--Just what did Canada's first woman senator wear at the opening of parliament? Twenty-four hours after the opening the question is still asked, although before Mrs, Wilson offici- ally became a genator it was stated that her frock would set historic precedent. A careful tally of despatches de- scribing the dress, tends towards the conclusion that the honorable senator wore an afternoon frock of poudre blue lace with long sleeves, But on the other hand the dress was reported as a smart black even- ing gown, simple in cut. It was also called a black and green flowered crepe afternoon frock. In addition there were rumors that it was a suit, Later dispatches agreed on one thing. It was an afternoon frock. A striking but simple frock of pen- cil bule, one hard pressed political correspondent described it, A gown of poudre blue lace, wrote another. To a third it was madonna blue, A fourth solved the color problem by labelling it blue. Today Mrs, Wilson admitted that she herself was puzzled about what to wear. In turn she dropped the idea of wearing a fuit, a plain black decollette gown, a black crepe frock printed in green to ap- pear in what she officially calls a poudre blue draped lace gown, blue shoes to mateh, no hat and a shoul- der knot of orchids.

Af- ter mixing it well she strained it through a fine cloth and applied it to the paper on the wall. (Either a brush or sponge may be used and care must be taken not to saturate the paper so it will loosen.) When the paper became thoroughly dry she gently polished it with a soft brush until it fairly shone and had the ap- pearance of glazed paper. y In cleaning washable papers never use a wet cloth as the surplus mois- ture is apt to seep into the paper and loosen it, Just a damp cloth will do the cleansing readily and thoroughly, A Hint on Lifting Does 5it nearly break your back to lift the clothes basket or any heavy article resting on the floor? That is only because you do not do it right. You use your arm muscles and your back, or you may be using the ab- dominal and the pelvic muscles which are so readily strained. And it is so simple to do when you do it right, In lifting a weight do not bend over at the waistline. Just squat a little, keeping your back straight, grasp the article with both hands then straighten up and you will be surprised how easily you lifted it. You see, you did it all with the legs and the muscles of the leg are in- tended for worl. When lifting a heavy object just remember to always use the leg mus- cles and get as close to it as possible. FANCY COLARS Lingerie collars are seen more than ever on tweed dresses and coats and sometimes a coat has a collar of scalloped white linen which buttons on and off, while there is a plain tweed collar beneath and a matching white linen flower in the buttonhole that has heen empty for so long.

Women Flin Fortunes Won at Gambling to Crowds on Street Nice, France, Feb. 24--Shouting crowds scrambled in the streets Thursday for a small fortune flung to them from hotel windows by an American and an English woman who had won heavily at baccarat and were soized with a sudden ir- resistable impulse to scatter thou- sands of dollars to the wind. The women were Mrs. Philip T. Farling, of St. Louis, Mo.. and Mrs. Robert G. Hardy, of Notting- ham, England. Mrs. Farling won 400,000 francs (nearly $16,000) and Mrs, Hardy 200,000 francs playing baccarat at a 2,000 franc limit. Their hotels are in different parts of the city, yet they were taken with the same idea at the same time, and opened their win- dows to fling their thousands in paper money to milling crowds below. The snowstorm of colored thou- sand franc notes fluttering in the sunlight brought great orowds un- der the windows. They struggled and fought for the money, half a dozen pouncing after each bill as it came to the ground, scrambling like chickens after grains of corn, while others leaped into the air to snatch the bills before they reach- ed the ground. : Police interfered when ths crowds began fighting and trying to steal from one another's pockets, Poliee gathered as many as possible of the bills and returned them to the winners, suggesting a formal contribution to the city's poor fund if they did not desire to keep their winnings. fighting POTATO PRICES DROP AT MYRTLE Local Dealers Expect Fur ther Reduction in Near Future 'Local potato dealers have reduced the price of potatoes this week and expect they may take a further drop.
