Be a queen in cotton In this beau
tifully designed dress. The round
yoke and panel front are inevitably
becoming, and the ruffle or puff
sleeves may be omitted if they're,
not your type. Or, you may have
the sleeves in flaring little WINGS,
simply by emitting the elastic which
makes them puff. (See detail
sketched). In any case, it's an ador-
able frock. The most delightful
color combinations are being shown
in cottons now-choose unusual, deli
cate shades or boldly marked pat

Fish Are Biting,
San Benito Men
Bring Back

SAN BENITO. Sept. 24.-Although
most fishermen apparently have
put up their tackle thinking that
fishing is over. r. II. Ward and Tom
Campbell OF san Benito can testi-
fy that il Is far from over.
They had one Of their best days
Sunday. failing only in their al
temptS TO catch reddish. They caught
seven jacks. Is Spanish Mackerel
one six foot tarpon, one five foot
tarpon and about three Jewish
weighing about 225 pounds alto
gether.
They were amazed BY the fact
that the Jews were caught with mul-
let being trolled for tarpon. II is
very unusual for Jews TO take bait
In this manner. Ward and Campbell
attribute this to the fact that the
mullet. on which jews feed. had
been driven away by the sulphurous
condition Of some water which came
through the pass killing many fish.
When they offered fresh mullet the
Jews naturally went right for IL.
Fishermen who went up Padre
Island beach some distance, report
ed red snapper being washed up
dead, leading TO the belief that some
strange eruption was taking place IN
the bottom of the Gulf near the
snapper banks which are quite dis
tant from the Valley. Fishing inside
the bay apparently was not af-
fected.
