Bill6.h a Fighter

OF the men who set out from Bos-
ton. Gloucester and Portland to catch
swordfish, perhaps six during the en-
tire season are fortunate enough to
land billfishes. The billfish is rated more
belligerent than the swordfish and can
be landed only at great risk, yet
swordfishermen think it all kinds of
good luck to catch one.
The billfish is one of the foremost
of the round-sworded spearfishes. Or
dinarily it is an inhabitant of southern
waters. but occasionally it accompa-
niles a school of swordfish as far north
as Georges bank. 1t varies from to
20 feet in length and from 100 to 1000
pounds in weight. In New England it
is called the "skillagelee."
When harpooned, it will rake spec
tacular charges at its attackers.

pause, II know you really are too

that anybody who was any good could

The afternoon mail came in just
then, like godsend, and gave them
something to do. But that talk of
theirs wasn't forgotten. He didn't be-
lieve, at least, that she had forgotten
it. AS for himself, it kept gnawing
away in his mind like persistent
mouse, audible whenever the silence
gave him a chance to hear it.
He couldn't be expected, could he,
to rush out whenever he found free
moment and peddle their article about
the neighborhood? "Can't I interest
you in the Mariner Auto Choke?" OF
course it was preposterous.
All the same, he grew acutely self
conscious about the periods Of unwel-

sorted, sometimes, to rather far
fetched occupations to fill them up.
Did Edith suspect the hollowness Of
his pretenses? If she were to see
through him, what would she think?
How would she account for his un-
willingness to turn salesman, now and
then, when he had chance? Would
she decide that he was lazy-or
afraid?
OF course he believed In the auto

Tongue

Tongue is usually an inexpen-
sive form of meat and may be
made very delicious. One way is
to bake it in milk. First boil the
tongue until tender. When nearly
done, add salt and pepper. Re-
move the tongue from the water
and skin it, slice it and put it into
baking dish and cover with milk
and then bake it until completely
tender. Parsley or mangoes may
be added for flavor and color; or a
variety of vegetables, as carrots,
onions, turnips and potatoes, may
be baked with the tongue.
"A savory way in which to pre-
pare tongue is to add it to tart
sauce When the tongue has been
boiled tender and skinned, cut it
into even pieces and pour over it
a hot sauce. Brown an onion in
two tablespoons of butter; add two
cups of the broth in which the tom
que was cooked; thicken with
flour and add a lemon sliced, two
tablespoons of vinegar, four table
spoons of brown sugar, salt and
pepper.

Interior Decoration

There is common sense back of
the principles of interior decora-
ton. These are not mere arbi-
trary laws, devised to confound
the housewife. They are based on
convenience, suitability and beauty
these are some of them:
Group together pieces of furni-
ture used together. Do not scat
ter the mabout the room, a COM
fly chair here, the fireplace far
away, the reading lamp across the
room, the table of magazines on
the other side. Do not put the
piano in one room and the music
cabinet with its music in another.
but arrange them conveniently
near. Have a few coy chairs in a
sociable group that you and your
friends may sit and chat togeth-
er. Make a corner near the win
dow supplied with your sewing
things, or with the children's desk.
pencils, shears, shears and paste.
The floor should be dark, the
ceilings light, the walls medium
tone. This is because dark colors
appear substantial and make solid
foundations. We would not want
the ceiling to seem heavy and
solid; airy lightness becomes it
better. The walls are the connect
ing link between foor and ceiling.
in cold weather direct attention
to the fireplace and make it the
center of attraction. In warm
weather, draw back the curtains
and permit view of the green
outdoors. Cooler colors are appro-
pirate for warm, light, summer
rooms. Warmer colors for win
ter season an dark rooms. The
warm colors repeat the shades of
the sunshine, and fire; yellow,

Bit O. Fun

A razzberry golf contest, which
is so jolly and laugh-inducing that
concentration and good playing
are impossible, is a new means of
making merry. The players dress
in the most outlandish costumes
they can devise; an adding machine
is carried along to keep tab on the
scores; many impromptu and
afore-thought witticisms are per-
petrated, and the prizes are award
ed for the first, second and third
poorest scores. Incidentally the
event attracts a good audience,
nets a sum of money for cause
and takes lot of people out into
the sunshine and air for a good
time.

The Seasons Styles

BY strange perversity of fash
ion, daytime frocks are low-neck-
ed and sleeveless, while evening
gowns have sleeves and shoulder
coverings. Many daytime frocks
have only shoulder strap for
upper covering. They are made
of silk persey, pique, printed linen
and lacy cotton.
Daytime blouses, Of pale colors
and soft crepe, may, by certain adj
justments Of ties and sleeves, be

Diplomatic Jam Unsettled

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Hope
OF settling the Japanese Chinese
dispute without further recourse to
arms has frightened here, follow
ing official cessation of hostilities

problems raised during the weeks
of warfare about the international
settlement are in no wise dimin-

The United States has a number
of issues arising out of the Shang-

Americas protests against the use
of the international settlement by
Japan as a military base were dis
regarded.
Also, this government, so far as
its officials have revealed, never has
closed the issue raised by a Japan

RUSSIA SENDS
MORE TROOPS
TO FAR EAST
Japanese Plot to Attack
Soviet Is Revealed
in Documents.
Bu United Press

By United Press
MOSCOW, March 5.-The Soviet
government admitted for the first
time today that it had strengthened
military forces on its far eastern
frontiers.
simultaneously, it was charged
that responsible representatives of
military and aonmilitary circles in
Japan" were planning to seize far
eastern Soviet possessions.
Through leading editorial in the
newspaper Izvestia, it was revealed
that Moscow possesses documents,
allegedly emanating from Japanese
leaders, urging early attacks against
the SovietS. These, it was alleged,
were aimed at the destruction of
the Soviet union, with aid of Poland,
Rumania, and other western ma
tons.
Izvestia admitted that the docu-
ments perhaps can be considered
personal opinions of the authors"
but said the authors were too in
fluential to be disregarded, and de-
served serious political weight"
Without disclosing the authorship,
Izvestia published alleged excerpts
from the documents. One excerpt
said:
1--WE consider it necessary that
japan adopt a firm policy with the
Soviet union, being prepared to be-
gin war at any moment. The car
dinal purpose of this war is not the
protection of Japan against Com
munism, but the seizure of the
Soviet far east and eastern Siberia"
Another excerpt said:
1.-THE Soviet-Japanese war must
be undertaken as soon as possible.
We must realize that as time passes
the situation becomes more favor
| able for the Soviets.'
