"BLIMP" FISHING
 POPULAR

Trolling for halibut and barracuda fin blimp is the newest style of fish ! ing in Southern California.
 Not only does not combine two of the most exhilirating sports known to man-aviation and angling-but it ensures successful fishing, according to the experience of a party of Good year flyers who recently inaugurated the sport off Portuguese Bend, near Los Angeles harbor, where ideal "blimp-fishing" conditions were found.
 Making an early morning flight from the company's balloon field south of Ascot Park, Los Angeles, the "Pony' Blimp, as the midget dirigible is called, turned north along the coast at Los Angeles Harbor and proceed. ed at a height of several hundred feet until the fishing grounds were reached. The fish can be easily To- cated from this distance above water, so it was no trouble to find a good place to fish.
 Descending, the Pony" Blimp made an easy Handing" on the water by the simple process of dipping sev- eral collapsible buckets in the ocean, the added weight holding the balloon at the surface of the water. After a try at still fishing, the anglers rose to a height of forty feet and trolled with the motor in Mow", making only two or three miles an hour.
 Several good sized barracuda were landed by George Hockensmith, B. Campbell and Philip Coe of the Good year aeronautical department, who composed the party of flying Izaak Waltons. Fired by the success of the initial attempt, the aerial anglers are planning a "hop" to Catalina Island to have try at landing a big tuna.
 The blimp used in the experiment was the 95-foot D-57, the worlds smallest practical dirigible, which has been making frequent flights in the neighborhood of Los Angeles during the past several weeks. After pay ing a visit of several days at the U. S. Naval Air Station near San Diego, the ship just recently flew to River side at the invitation of Lieutenant Colonel B. K. Yount to visit the Army Air Station at March Field.

4 N EPILOGUE to the story of sum- "A mer blouses might easily be longer than the story itself for mid summer has modified the earlier styles and added some new ideas to those that the spring has brought in. The popularity of elbow and shorter sleeve persists, except for the tailored styles. TricOlette was second thought with designers and has proved inn mensely popular. Just now 1t has joined forces with georgette and these two are used together, with the trico- lette appearing in wide panels on the | front of sheer blOuses to provide a smart vest for the street or formal suit.
 Nearly all the new smocks are very short, made of geOrgette with em- broidery for decoration. Those for afternoon and dinner wear are in high colors and often use plain and a fig ured pattern in combination. Orange, flame, turquoise, emerald, rose and jade green are in high favor and they are embroidered in other brilliant colOrs. Georgette maintains Its position as the favorite material for blouses. but fine voile Is very close to it--may out rival 1t as summer advances. These lovely and practical voiles are reason ably priced and other blouses show a decline that is promising. Voile is ideal for wear with street suits and wash satins or pongee silks are its | competitors in tailored models.

A blouse and a smock of georgerre are shown in the picture, both of them examples of long-sleeved designs. The blouse is in a very light tan color, and cherries with twigs and foliage are en- broidered in beads and silk. Very wide tucks at each side of the front and above the cuffs help give this model its tailored character. Wide tucks are unusual, but great many models employ very narrow ones and pin tucks like those that embellish the smock pictured. An attractive detail in this smock appears in velvet ribbon bands at the waist, and velvet rib bon girdle.

Just Couldn't Fool Him

q had bird dog once," the old sportsman observed, that was really noteworthy. He never failed on a point. One day I had him out for exercise in the park, when suddenly he pointed, rigid as stone. I was puzzled. There was no possibility of game. The grass was close clipped. The dog had his nose straight on a man seated on a bench. I thought the man might have live bird in his pocket, but no, the man was in his shirt sleeves. Then I had an idea.
 Pardon me, sir I said, but would you mind telling me your name?'
 "No, I don't mind," he replied. It's Partridge. "-New York Evening Post

PRESCOTT FRONTIER
 DAYS BIG SUCCESS

Prescott, Arizona, July 24.-The 1920 Frontier Days held at Prescott, Arizona, proved to be the biggest and best cowboy contests staged by the Prescott Frontier Days Association. This was true not only from the standpoint of the spectators but the largest number of contestants ever assembled in the Southwest appeared in Prescott from the ranges of the great West and North to compete in the events, for which $10,000 in cash prizes were offered and paid. The reputation which Prescott has for paying every dollar that it advertises and giving fair play, square treat ment alike to all contestants is known far and wide in rowland.
 As fitting close to the four days contests, the cowboys staged mini ature frontier days at Whipple Bar racks, located on the immediate out skirts of Prescott where hundreds of gassed and tubercular soldiers are patients of the government.
 Among the Ast of contestants were many of the cowboys connected with the Tom Mix company of the Fox Film corporation. Mix did not com pete in the events, but took advantage of the big contests to add color to his latest picture: "The Texan"
 The Prescott Frontier Days Asso- citation owns it's own string of buck ing horses which are famed through out the country as one of the orner- jest, meanest bunch of buckers in the contest business. The Association manages the Frontier Days on a strictly business basis and not an in rdividual serving the association in an official capacity receives one cent of remuneration. The contestants elect their own judges and their decisions are final. The men chosen this year were: Bull roping timers, Frank Wells, Homer Wood and Bill Low thian; Four Line man, Pat Chrisman; Flag Man, John Armstrong; Tie judg- es, Charley Hooker, Tom Mix and Jim Bosley; Broncho Busting, Bill Gar rett, John Whelon and Frank Wells; Saddles Judges, A. L. Lovelady and H. Wagoner. In charge of the chutes were: "Wild Horse" Hill and Lee Haworth. The arena was capably managed by Lester Ruffner, known as one of the best arena directors in the entire country. Ruffner was as sisted by Bill Johnson, Harry Knight and Gail Gardner, experienced men Tn their lines. The chairman, secretary and treasurer of the association were: E. s. Clark, G. M. Sparkes and H. D. Aiken, respectively. Through the work of c E. Gentry, chairman of the Accommodation committee, every one visiting the Mile High City was given prompt and courteous treatment in finding suitable accommodations.
 The, winners in the final events were:
