there is a depression among them
and you see only a few. Because
we have so many delicious food fishes
we have not needed to concentrate
on the lookdown. However, as we
have said, in some localities this

AS it has not taken it's place in
the ranks of valuable food fishes,
there has not been so much in

Many can be found in Chesapeake
Bay and southwark.
Those living in the warmer wa

the scales at 2 pounds. They are
clad in livery of silver and a
ground tint Of dull gray; the sides
may have golden or dark cross-bands
indistinctly etched upon them in
youth. The older generation is more
somberly colored.
In some localities the lookdown is
known as the horsehead. It is the
better-known member of the moon
fishes. In its youth 1t is an ex-
quisite mother-of-pearl color, and as
1t speeds through the water it ap-
pears more like a flash of light.

lines, and anglers, knowing of its de-
llciouS flavor, are always eager to
have enough lookdowns or horse
heads for their meal. In fact, we
find these are excellent food fishes
at any age ana are caught IN large
numbers in their range.
The lookdown is a fiat fish and
is only about one and one-half times
as long as it is deep. The extremely
high second dorsal fin has about
% rays and the anal fins about 20.
The mouth is set so low and the
eyes are so elevated and large that
the expression is that of almost
human understanding. Those who
have looked them eye to eye say
it is uncanny to have the fish give
you "the once over"

same contour and expression, the
youngsters being q more beautiful

Every now and then something
comes up that brings to mind in
startling fashion the developments
that have been made over recent
years. There is company in busi-

least rs years. At one time in the
old days they sent a messenger from
their headquarters to a city where
certain business had to be trans
acted at l o'clock each afternoon.

They had seen nothing but an
occasional wolf that barred his teeth

off.
But then something dreadful hap
pened. 1t was at noon on the second

suddenly a great shadow fell across
their path. Then right in front of

New York, July 8.-It isn't un- usual for 12 men to be willing to take directions from an attractive woman. However, it is unusual when those 12 men happen to be musicians and the woman bobs up as the leader of the band.
 For the past few weeks Manhat- tan merry makers have been treated to that novelty in the new dance band directed by Ramona, the pop ,ilar pianist and song stylist. Her orchestra, in which she is the only woman and maestro, is 8 distinct revolution in the popular band field, which has always thought of women in terms of vocalists.
 Why did Ramona, the bright light of the radio networks, night clubs and photograph records, turn band leader, when she could have con- tinued being a success in the less arduous role of soloiSt? The an- swer she gives is money. For, ii her new orchestra clicks, Ramona will be able to make more in a year than she did in five.
 Ramona left Paul Whiteman's band, with which she had sy- reelected to success, over a year ago. Paul had her signed to long term contract, the breaking of which

"Shopworn Angel" great, vital, pul- sating dramatic story.
 For the first time in her stage and screen career Margaret Sulla- van sings! Wait until you hear her put over Let's Pretend It's True" and Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag" She dances, too! No less a parsonage than Val Raset, personal dancing instructor to some of the biggest stars, staged the dances for "Shopworn Angel" with Margaret Sullavan and a chorus of the prettiest and most formful, graceful girls in Hollywood.
 "Shopworn Angel" is a picture with everything. It is drama in 8 lavish setting, with every element of popular entertainment molded into a perfect unit of audience ap- peal.
 Without doubt, "ShopWorn An- gel' is drama that today's head lines have made as timely as your morning newspaper.

 This film provides an exciting hours entertainment - with the scene constantly changing and the action cleverly spread out. It CO., stars Charles Bickford, who has long been one of Hollywood's reign ing favorites, and Ann Dvorak, fa- nous for her vivid characterization in "Scarface."
 Other important roles have been placed in the capable hands of Alan Baxter, Wynne Gibson and Harold Huber.
