Down in the state of Sinaloa, l Mexico, Steve's home town folks know him as Esteban. which is too Spanish for Hollywood usage. He learned to throw knives which trav- cling with a circus, but not all of his pitching has been for exhibition. He spent some time, for instance, in Mexico, instructing police in the territory of Quintano Roo how to defend themselves against outlaws who had been alarmingly successful in their use of knives as deadly weapons.
 That sort Of knife throwing never gets into pictures or on the stage" says Steve. You see, there is a big difference in the technique of throwing a knife for exhibition and throwing it to kill. The killer darts his blade at the victim so swiftly you don't see it. Thrown for exhibition, the blade is grasped by the point and hurled so that it turns over and over in it's flight and glints brightly to attract the eye Of the spectators. A killer who throws his knife like that is easy to side step"
 Steve says surprisingly few screen players insist on doubles where knife-throwing is involved, although it is only natural 10 shrink from being pitched at with

HollyW wood, Cal. Dec. LP-There probably are several film critics who could find it in their hearts to envy Steve Clemento.
 Steve makes 8 good living throw ing dacgers, butcher knives, battle axes and harpoons at motion pie ture actors. In appreciation for his faultless aim the various producers for whom he has worked have paid him enough to invest heavily in Hollywood real estate, but Steve has yet to puncture his first actor.
 In fact, ii is because he so con- sistently just misses his target that they hire him again and the actors Cor their doubles) continue to go through knife or ax-throwing scenes with him.

The cunning season for ducks open
ed Monday and as expected there were
more ducks killed on Taylors Bridge,
Woodland Beach and Leipsic marshes
than will be killed any other day of
the season. Along the water front
where the ducks are to be found about
45 duck ponds with the attendant
blinds and other shooting equipment
have been constructed. 1t is claimed
that there are plenty Of ducks and the
pond owners are asking S5 gunner
for the privilege of shooting on these
ponds. Many Of these pond owners
will use ducks for decoys instead of
the old time wooden duck. These
ducks Were raised from eggs laid on
the marsh and the ducks are as tame
as the ordinary domestic ducks. They
swim about the blinds, care being tax
en- to see that they do not get within
gun range, and thus attract the other
ducks. The gunners say that after a
few shots have been fired over these
ducks they no longer fear gun fire.
Most of the ducks are recovered by
water dogs Of various kinds and gun
ners in this State have recently pur-
chased some very fine dogs.
