Down in Florida the REAL angler has but
one object in life-the sailfsh. And after that
the biggest sailfish.
Why? Because it's hardest to do. Because
it takes a lot of agony and misery without
which no angler considers the game worth the
candle. And because he has figured up lot
of rules to make the sport even harder.
Not that there aren't acres of other fish in
the Gulf Stream-why it's worth leg to dangle
your foot overheard when you reach the feed
ing grounds But to fill the back end of boat
with dolphin, bonita, barracuda tuna, kingfish
and even shark is childs play to sailfisher
man. Phooey. He'd rather go to fish mar
ket! Yet one "Sail"-even small one, say 45
pounds-will wreathe his blistered face in radi-
ant smiles and repay him for untold sufterlngs
a weeks work, and considerable do-remi.

Chase has followed auto racing
for the past % years. He first
became interested in the game
while living in Redlands, Calf. :,
during the early days of his life.
It was here he was able to eye
some of the greatest racing exhibi-
tions in the history of auto racing.
One of the most daring races
Chase witnessed was the famous
old classic known as the LOS An
geles to Phoenix, Ariz." Chase re-
lates that this even was run over
the desert most of the way, sup
plying plenty of danger for the
drivers who participated.
Saw Another Classic
In 1914 Chase saw another of
these races. Barney Oldfield won
and was awarded diamond
studded belt. The race was one
of the toughest in Oldfield's ca
reer as the entire distance was
run in a driving storm.
Speaking OF records, and we're
speaking of ELI now, Chase has a
book so full that it would take
several days to read. He's this
much of fanatic on the sport, but
after all is said and done, his book
is interesting and very entertain
ing.
To compile this book, which
comprises pages and pages of
records. Chase spent nine years.
One of these days he hopes to
get it published. In it are rec
ords dating back to 1910 up to
the present time, and one can
imagine what a complete book it
must be.
Popular AS Ever
Discussing the question of rac7
ing and its popularity, Chase
firmly believes that racing is as
popular as ever, in fact, believes
that it will become even more
popular in the next generation.
One of the records" Chase
has in his book, which he calls
"The History of Auto Racing"
is the record of Fred j. Wag-
ner, of Covina, California, which
is near Los Angeles. Chase
knew this parsonage and agrees
with the experts that he was the
greatest starter of all times.
"Wag," Chase relates, started
his first race in 1899 at the old
Washington Park in Chicago, and
was 81 years old when he died.

A FRESH SLANT on Sail Fishing

ordinary fisherman, he has a short, stout pole
with heavy line provided by the skipper. But
if a real sailfisherman out for a record, he
wields a nine-ounce tip saltwater trout rod nine
and half feet long, No. thread line with 27
pound wet test 20 reel with two-anda-half-
pound drag, 12-foot No. wire leader, and a
10 hook-all of which the guides hold in great
contempt, calling the rods. buggy whips" They
consider catching Sailfish hard enough with
out all these handicaps
Taps Bait With Beak First
For one thing, "sail" doesn't strike and
hang on like other Gulf Stream inhabitants.
He "taps" the bait with his beak first. You
must be able to recognize this tap. And in
stead of hooking him then, the idea is to let the
bait "play dead" by letting the line run out
while you count 10 slowly. The "sail" then goes
after the dead bait and there's where you hook
him. The fight begins. 1t may last an hour or
two hours. The "sail" frequently leaves the
water in a smother of blue spray To the Gulf
Stream angler, until you've seen Sailfish dane
ing astern on his tail you've never been fish
ing.
After it's all over what have you got? Well
something to take your picture with and hang
on the wall. sailfish may look like night
mare of delirium tremens to others, but to
safisherman, it's the most beautiful sight in
Florida.

Every time I passed a church
trembled with the thought of hell
after death and the wrath of God.
My face became yellow and sallow
and my mother said 1 was deathly
pale. 1 became lifeless and did not
care about living. Now I lay awake
and think of the horrible punish
ment that is to come. When people
ask me what I am thinking about
I tell them a sin. They laugh and
say What sin could you do?" I
have been praying for about two
and a half years. I have confessed
to God many times but not to man;
so I am confessing to you. AS look
back I am a bit in doubt if my
prayers were exactly in earnest. The
devil visits me often and makes me
think about being seized and kissed
by robbers, and he tries to make me
enjoy the feeling, but I turn to God
for protection. I want the public
to read this letter and condemn me
for my sin. If you do not print this.
you, too, will have committed a great
sin, and your cons 'ence will hurt

would take my word for il that
your fears of punishment will
never be realized. You are not

Manners and Morals

mature man, "after Gods own
heart" was forgiven for sending
Uriah into battle while he made
of with the soldiers wife. Yet
you imagine that l3-year-old
girl will be boiled in oil for an
older mans aggression against
her.
Have you never read the ae-
count of the Magdalen's trans
gresSion in the New Testament?
It was her own fellow human be-
ings who stoned her, not an angry
and outraged Deity. Probably
they stoned her for doing that
which they craved to do them
selves. The classic lines of Jesus
in rebuking the pain-loving multi
tude have rung down through the
ages. Woman, hath no man con-
demned thee? Neither do I con-
denim thee. Go and sin no more"
Why has this passage made no
impression upon you? The an
swer is clear. It is you yourself
who feel this strange need for
punishment. 1t has not been i'm
posed upon you by the threats OF
a celestial torturer. You your
self play the role of both judge
and criminal.
No one else in the heavens above
or the earth below Or the waters
under the earth could put you in
such senseleSs, futile misery. And
for what? Because an ignorant
child was overestimated by man
who should have known better.
Can't you shift part of the bur-
den of guilt to him? The instincts
which he reused in you prema-
turely were not of your making.
Neither are they shameful. 1t is
only that the sexual passions must
be held in check until maturity for
very good social reasons.
When they escape too early, no
objectionable sin has been COM
mitted to be avenged by an angry
Creator. The individual learns
what not to do by trial and error.
You have a long and happy life
ahead of you if you can persuade
yourself to change this morbid
mental attitude.
But you will not believe me.
Your mind is too wrapped in the
swaddling clothes of superstition.
You will think I am a Goddess
woman, in the grip of the devil,
because I refuse to take your
childish experiment with sex Sc
riousW. Therefore, I advise you
to seek counsel from an enlight-
ened minister of one of our mod
ern churches. If you know none, I
will be glad to recommend one of
my friends.
Moreover, I call for letters from
religious people all over the state,
setting you right in your attitude
toward your problem. These let
tiers I will forward to you upon
receipt of your address. Or I will
leave them where you can call for
them.
Il
To a Desperate Mother: I adj
wise you to see one of the social
service agencies in the city who
will help you find way to keep
your children with you. Please
do not despair. There is a way
out of your difficulty if you go to
the proper source.
