The fact is that the American male leg does not pare very favorably with the underpinnng displayed by the opposite and most men willing that the situation remain is. There good many things that boast about but leg isn't one of them.
 There probably are few things on the American landscape more grotesque than the average American male leg It's fine thing to stand on. It will carry the male mountain and through the valley after deer against the turbulent stream in search of trout all day at his labors But think of beauty it has no place in the anatomy gallery.
 The late old Commoner, William Jennings Bryan, once roared at the world you can't make monkey out of me" Most American feel the way when it to wearing short pants and exposing their underpinnng to public gaze.

FOOD IN THE SEA

When we think of salt water fish in Alaska we think primarily of salmon and halibut, the two major products which have been commerciaized into a major industry and which provide a great food source. In fact when the average fisherman nvades alt water after fish his main objective has come to oe fighting salmon which is fishing sport in any language.
 But there is in Alaskan waters great supply Of fish which thus far have been put to no commercial and because they have not the average person usually throws them off the hook undesirable for human consumption For example there is the lowy founder, about as sporting to catch as an old shoe but fine eating any fish found in salt water, providing has the patience to properly skin them An ofshoot of the halibu family, the founder, prop erly prepared, is a delicacy. Most of will order filet of sale in restaurant, but we'll throw the founder back in the water Fiet of sole is nothing than founder dressed up for the table.
 Then there is fish which swims the waters from Bristol Bay as far south as Sitka and can be found occasion in the waters near Juneau. It is officially known to the Bureau of Fisheries the Pollack rather sporting fish, resembling the trout in many ways and sometimes gaining length of three feet, the Pollack makes tasty fish dish.
 Doubtless, there many other varieties if the fisherman took the time to discover chem. None perhaps, will take the place of salmon light tackle for downright sport but there lots of fish in the which edible and in the years to come probably will put them to use.

Wings Over the Atlantic

 The air lines which cooperating in the venture have left little possible to chance PanAmercan Airways has amassed vast fund of knowledge and experience in flying in linking the North and South American continents and, more recently in its conquest of the Pacific The English line has been relatively successful in air navigation between the nations of the British Empire. Pooling their resources provided the two arlines with aggregation of perence and equipment sufficient to justify belief that if the Atlantic be spanned with practical commercial airline, they do it.
 The preparation which unknown generally to the public, preceded this weeks test flights marked the difference between them and most of theother trans Atlantic crossings of heavier than-air craft. The difference the provision of ample safety factor. The flying boats designed that motor failure in midAtlantic would not be certain disaster Their equipment such that most of the gamble removed from point -topoint navigation; their pilots could place their reliance upon things more substan- tia than luck.
 Incongruously, the inauguration of commercial arpane line the Atlantic did not receive top play in the days news The worlds attention monopolzed by the dramatic search for a needle in haystack: Amelia Earhart Putnam, Fred J.

THE AMERICAN MALE LEG

Not since Hell and Maria Charley Dawes startled tie American male population several ago by wearing short pants when he Ambassa- dor to Great Britain, just to prove that Americans can't be outdone, has there been much comment on the American male leg. But since the British coro- nation and its traditional short-egged garb there has been revived interest. James w. Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany, after viewing the gala British scene brought back this comment:
 "The Americans who knee brooches at the ceremony showed fine set of legs. There wasn't a knocking knee or a bandy-leg in the whole outfit"
 This has aroused the New York Times to this statement
 ''The leg of the American male though thing of infinite variety, has seldom been regarded as thing of beauty Bony knees, spindly shanks and bow legs have willingly accepted the mask of the democratic pantaoon, thankful that eighteenth tury knee brooches out of style Leg shyness to be sure, tends to disappear the summer beach, and the plusfours era made the public painfully conscious of male underpinnng, but most of the time American men accept a leg as something to stand They let it go at that"
 The Times, always conservative, is little mild.
