Many Outstanding
Achievements in
Fishing on Record

Women frequently move into the
fishing spotlight and take the play
away from the men anglers. There
are many members of the fair sex
who can give even the experienced
angler a run for his money in any
branch of the sport, from airly
perching a dry fly atop a rifle to
fighting for several hours with the
big-game saltwater fish.
young Miami manicurist won over
several thousand men in receiving
the award for the outstanding
angling feat during the Metropol-
ttan Miami fishing tournament. Few
men could duplicate her perform

she hooked, battled and landed a
102-pound tarpon, one of the tough
est and gamest fish that swims in
any waters.
Ordinary tackle for fish like
that would be a strong. double built

line and large reel. And usually
they are caught from a power boat

The featS of Mrs. S. Kip Earring
ton, jr., are well known. She is a
big-game fisheWoman as famous as
her husband. The ladies also indulge
in fresh-Water fishing for trout and
bass, but it when they step into the
big-game class where real strength
and skill are necessary that they re-
celve outstanding notice Mrs. Far
rlngton, comely and weighing no
more than 100 pounds, holds several
womens records. Once at Wedge
port, Nova Scotia, she boated a 175-
pound tuna in Is minutes, shortest
time in which a woman ever has
/. landed horse mackerel. Later she
took 493-pounder that gave her a
battle that lasted 10 hours and 35
minutes, another time record for
women. Her largest tuna was 720
pounds.
The Womans record for tuna is
held by Mrs. E. L. Potter of Brook
vile. Long Island, at 757 pounds.
Previously Mrs. Francis T. Lowe of
New York held the record with fish
of 600 and 749 pounds. Miss Betty
Page of Florida participated in the
catching of a 720-pound tuna off
New jersey that remains a United
States record.
- Last summer with all those 1000
white marlin taken in at Ocean
City, Md, it remained for a woman,
Mrs. Ruth Parsons of Wilmington,
to catch the largest, Her jumping
jack was 1872 pounds. Last spring
Mrs. j. B. Van Horn took 120-
pound sailfsh-very large for that
species-off Guaymas, Mexico. At
the same place Mrs. Harrington
caught 224-pound triped marlin.
But big-game, deep-sea fishing is
not the only kind in which women
participate, although they do re-
celve more attention from it. They
equally are at home in fresh water
One world record, that for a lake
trout of 50 pounds, is held by Mrs.

the least we can do to help them
along Is to give them nightly
messages with cooling lotion or
cream and weekly pedicure.
Pour a generous amount Of lotion
into the palm of your hand and
massage each foot thoroughly, pref
erably after a relaxing bath. Get
in between the toes, under the arch
and around the ankle.
Supplement this with little exer-
cises, such as wiggling the toes and
rotating the feet, and trying to pick
up marbles with the toes from the
floor. Simple but effective in keep
ing the foot and ankle supple.
Once week spread a towel on
your bed and give your toes a
thorough pedicure. For this it is
very nice to have a complete pedi-
cure set, which you may buy from
81 up to SIS or Sc. But if you cannot
afford such aids, then use your
manicuring implements and 90
through all you would for your
flngernails. However, remember to
cut your toenails straight across;
do not shape them as you would
fingernail or you might invite
trouble.
When it comes to polish, either
match that on your fingernails or
paint your toenails a natural rose.
If you live in warm climate and
go about in open-toe sandals it is
pleasing to see nails match in color.
Otherwise it doesn't matter
always get jolt if I see bathing
beauty with blood-red toenails and
perhaps flngernails of an orange

shades than have such a clash OF

Fishing Togs

Slightly
Miss McKeever Is
Firm Believer in
Washable Garb

Appearances have the disturbing
habit of being deceiving, but very
often pleasantly so . Take, for in
stance, the interesting case of Miss
Regina McKeever, who has the face
OF an angel and the ambitions of an
Izaak Walton.
Miss McKeever, who wants to
make art and interior decoration
her lifework, has become enthused
about all kinds of fishing in the
past couple of years. Comfort and
convenience are the main things to
be considered in fishing clothes. ."
she explained, land there are differ
ent types of attire for the various
kinds of fishing"
Even while fashion doesn't plav
such a tremendous part in this par
tlcular sport, it is just as important
to know what to wear and what to
ignore. Each of the three types of
fishing that can be enjoyed around
this part of the country requires a
thorough knowledge of correct dress.
For trout fishing in the mountains

or shorts are comfortable attire, and
hat or bandana will keep the hair
from being burned. Most impor-
tant, however, are dark glasses, for
glare from the water Is hard on the
eyes. Shoes should be cord or rub
ber-soled to help you keep your foot
ing Acetate or cotton shirts are
best. and Miss McKeever prefers the
basque type with high neck-and
stripes. Il love stripes because I
think they look so appropriate" she
explained. Il got the idea of these
shirts from my four brothers. and
in a pinch I take some of theirs
away from them!"
For deep-sea fishing 80 or 40 miles
offshore, Miss McKeever chooses
the same type of thing that she
wears for bay fishing, but adds to
it. 1t gets very cold and rough out
there, so she is always equipped
with waterproof jacket, wind
breaker and heavy sweaters. Cord
soled shoes are worn with short
socks, and gloyes-or at least left
one-must be worn to protect the
hands when you are fighting one of
those monsters of the deep.
Washability in fishing togs is
necessity, the pretty, dark-haired
girl explained, for your clothes get
very soiled on these expeditions. Do
stay away from things that cannot
be easily laundered. Frilly, fancy
clothes are definitely out, and
comfortable attire is demanded.
Sweaters, incidentally, should have
long sleeves to protect you against
bugs and mosquitoes. Il prefer the
cardigan style" Miss McKeever ex-
planned, but III never forget the

Finest of Linen Used
To Make Lines for
Deep.Sea Fishing

PROBABLY IN no sport other than
nshlng is there such a wide range
OF equipment possible. The barefoot
farm boy of song and story carries
simple three-for-a-penny hook and
piece Of string. Your wealthy. big
game angler has several thousands
OF dollars worth of custom-built
reels; fine, hand-split bamboo rods.
lines OF more choice and better
linen than his Wifes ceremonial
banquet cloth and hooks and lures
made of the worlds best steel.
1t is matter of taste and of
pocketbook. You need something to
which to attach the bait. That
would be the hook. Then you need
something to connect to the hook.
That would be the line. Start from
that combination and build.
For freSh-Water fishing lines made
OF silk are preferred because they
are softer and cast better than
linen. Light steel or bamboo rods are
used, the type depending on the
kind of fishing. For bait casting
and trolling rods from about AZ
to 6 feet long are common, while for
fly fishing the rod is longer, buggy
whip affair. For either of those rods
the costs range from a few dollars
to around $50 for stock models. An
ideal rod is one that is timber
enough to bend when the fish pulls
but with plenty of backbone to fight
the flsh and to cast lure or line.
The price range of reels, like that
OF all other pieces of fishing equip
ment, is wide. A serviceable cast
ing reel may be had for around So,
while for those with refnements and
JeWeled bearings the sky is the limit.
Look for a we'll balanced reel that
will no. about 100 yards of silk
line ar one with a light spool.
The heEty spools will run a long
time when you try them in the
sporting goods store, but that same
long running Is a handicap in ac-
tual fishing.
The widest range In tackle is in
saltwater fishing, however. because
the fish you seek are caught by
many methods and range in size
from a pound to half ton. Linen
lines are used almost exclusively,
because the fine linen resists the
ravages of salt water and is pre-
ferred to silk in spite of its ten
dency to twist. Strength of linen
lines is measured by the number of
threads, each thread of good
= quality line having breaking
strength of about pounds. Lines
of 8 and IL thread are common in
( Chesapeake Bay, while for big game
angling 54-thread is not uncommon.
Reels, too, must resist salt water,
and the ordinary reel is not so fine,
nor has it need to be, as the fresh
water reel. They differ mostly in
that the saltwater reel is larger
and more sturdily constructed, and
many of them have an automatic
brake or drag that permits the line
to be pulled off by fighting fish
This is to keep the line from being
broken. Size of reel is governed
by the amount of line necessary for
particular type of fish.
Saltwater rods are much stronger
than freshWater rods, and metal
parts such as reel seats and guide
frames are specially treated to re-
sist rust. Bamboo is the favor
lite material. although steel and
hickory also are used. Stiff rods.
although common, are not the best.
