demand because they are larger. The
grass pickerel, the common Eastern
pickerel, and the Great Lakes pike
are more widely distributed than the
banded one, but they have been de-
scribed.
The greatest catch is from october
to April. Some value the fish as
a food very highly. Those who have
a greater choice. say that the flavor
of the flesh is inferior.
In the tide-waters Of Chesapeake
this banded pike is often caught with
the larger members Of the family.
You can distinguish it by its smaller
size and its shorter dorsal and anal
fms, and its dark, greenish color.
The sides have about 20 distinct
blackish bars that are curved.
Even in the fresh waters Of Europe
and Asia, the pixies are known. The
species are all known for their greedi-
ness and voractiy. They seem to eat
for the 10Y of consuming the small
fish and other organisms about them.

New Practical
Style Revived Is Quite Unlike
Sheer Little Models Now
Being Discarded.
BY BARBARA BELL.

7~HIS Fall will find the domestic
woman garbed in very matter
of-fact house dresses, for there
is a revival of simple, plain
line frocks, quite unlike the
sheer little models that served their
purpose so daintily this Summer.
The very latest trend in practical,
common sense work frocks is the
wrap-around. In the sketch we see
1t snnartly interpreted in a double
breasted front that expresses the
tendency toward simplicity, without
the customary appearance OF un-
Interesting badness. This dress Is.
indeed, a grand acquisition for the
busy mother or housewife. 1t is cut
with symmetry and balance, so that
she is assured of comfort every min
ute she has it on. The sleeves are
short and made in one with the yoke.
An extra amount of fullness is put
into the back to eliminate all pos
sible strain when at work. Details
like these make or break dress.
The material in this frock is a
finely finished percale, which tubs
easily and gives an impeccable ap-
pearance Of FRESHNESS Wnen Honeo.
other fabrics available for 1t are
seersucker, cotton brcadcloth, poplin
and mems shirting. When selecting
the right material one must first think
of 1t in relation TO the washtub,
cleanliness being of paramount i'm
portance in the clothes we wear when
making our rounds of the house.
Blues of every hue are first fav-
orites as domestic colors; following
them come a wide range Of browns,
often enlivened by buttons and belts
of red. Grays are used in similar
combination and look far gayer than
one would imagine on first thought.
Light pastel shades are still popular
with women who prefer delicate tones
to definite colors.

In the second hand, over four no
trump, South naturally should bid
five diamonds. When North goes
to six diamonds, South can bid
seven spades. This makes every
thing absolutely accurate. AS mat
ter of fact; South can go to seven
spades over four no trump. North
must have three aces for his bid. The
only question is the possibility OF los
ing a diamond trick. The fit showing
and North's willingness to slam in dia-
monds eliminates that possibility.

Little Benny.
BY LEE PAPE.

CUNDAY afternoon I was sitting on
~ Mary Watkins's front steps tawk-
ing to her about diffrent subjecks, her
being even more bewty looking than
usual in a new white dress with no
sleeves and hardly any back to let in
the air for Summer, and we was
looking at diffrent parts OF the Sum
day paper, and there was big picture
of a lady with a long train on her
dress, saying underneath, Miss Clorine
Muggers, dawter of Mr.. and Mrs. l..
John Muggers, who is to marry the
Duke de Grass next Wensday.
That's one thing you'll never catch
me doing, marrying for a title, Mary
Watkins said. When I get married
it's going to be for pure love, she said,
and I said, o I bet If some lord or
duke came up to you and said, Take
my royal estates and be the Lady
Mary Watkins. I bet you wouldn't
say No in such hurry.
I bet I would, she said. I'll get
married for love at ferst site or not
at all, not even a prince or king
with a gold throne trimmed with
diamonds. OF course if it was a
prince in disguize and fell in love
with him before I found out, that
mite be diffrent, but don't hardly
think that's going to happen, she
said.
wich just then Maud Jonson
wawked passed with Leroy Shooster's
rich cuzzin Raymin in his militerry
school uniform, still wearing it just
to show off even in vacation, and
Mary Watkins said. o doesn't he look
divine, she's certany lucky to be
wawking with him.
Aw heck after all you just said,
said. That's just a uniform without
even a title, so what would you say
If it was a admiral or something all
dressed up? said, and she said, o
well, I just mentioned titles, didn't
say anything about uniforms, never
could resist uniforms, I could fall in
love at ferst site with a uniform any
time.
Proving you cant argew with lady.

 Constance sings two charming numbers in this sparkling screen musical "Coffee in the Morning and Kisses in the Night" and Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and her singing voice is a delight full surprise.
 Moulin Rouge" is the story of an ambitious young wife who tries desperately to secure her hus- bands consent to renewing her the atrical career, which she aban- doned a few years before to marry him. He stubbornly refuses, belit- tling. her talent and asserting it is her business to be a homemaker not a puppet of the public.
 How she wins her point, the clever ruse which she adopts in or. der to prove her ability, and above all the humorously dramatic situa- tions resulting from his capitula- ton to the chagms of a siren in- volving him in the predicament of making love to his own wife with out knowing 1t, form one of the most entertaining tales which has come to the screen for many a day.
 Franchot Tone plays the part, of the domineering husband with fine restraint, making the character highly understandable as the coun- terpart of thousands of better halves who believe that a woman's place is in the home, but mans is well, anywhere he may choose to go.

Lewis Carrolps fantastic Alice in Wonderland lives again on the screen of Warmers Strand theater today, tomorrow and Saturday. where it heads another great double feature program.
 Alice Is there, in the person of Charlotte Henry; as are the Duch- ess, the King and Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the White Knight, and Hump ty Dumpty. They're all on the screen in the persons Of the greatest cast ever assembled for a motion picture. Each of the more than forty important parts is taken by an internationally-known star or featured player.
 Miss Henry is wholly likeable, and remarkably talented Alice. Director Norman Mcleod, with the aid of consummately capable art directors, composers, costumers, designers and other assistants, has actually brought to the screen - character for character, scene for scene, and word for word - the Lewis Carroll fantasy.
 Each character looks, acts and talks exactly like the characters in the immortal book. The Carroll dialogue is intact, and the Tenniel drawings have been copied exactly.
 The companion feature is Lets Fall in Love-, starring Edmund Lowe and Ann Sothern. Hailed as one of the seasons most unique and tuneful musical offerings the production has created much fav- orable comment. It is entirely different from the run of musicales which has flooded screens recent ly, as its music is worked into the story in a logical and convincing manner. Even without the music, it would still be an outstanding dramatic production.
 Supporting the principals will be seen a we'll selected cast consist ing of Gregory Ratoff, Tala Birell, Miriam Jordan, Betty Fur ness, Ruth Warren, Arthur Jar rett, Greta Meyer and Anderson Law1or. Tomorrow and Saturday chapter of "The Perils of Paul line" will be added to this pro- gram.

 Hollywood, Feb 15-(UP)-The appellate division of superior court was scheduled to decide today whether Alfred c. Read, Jr, young Oakland broker, shall go to jail for 18O days and pay a $500 fine for allegedly stealing $11 from Claire Windsor, his one time sweetheart.
 The sentence was appealed frop a lower court where Read was con. victed despite his plea of not guilty. Read was expected to act as his own attorney in arguing for a reversal.
 The petty theft complaint was an aftermath of a bitter court battle in which Miss Windsor lost a $75,- 900 alienation of affections suit to Reads former wife, Marian Y. Read. The judgment, however, was later set aside as excessive and a retrial ordered.
