in large scales which are easily re-
moved. The tail is forked; at the
base of the pectoral fin there is q
small, dark area. The dorsal fins
as well as the pectoral fms are pale
olive with dark spots. The caudal
fin is a pale yellow with black or
dusky tip.
Mullets are bottom feeders. They
are not fastidious. The tiny organ

found In the mud are gulped down.
Since the fish does not find much
nourishment to the mouthful, it
seems always to be eating
In the warmer waters occupied by
the mullet it reaches a length of
"a inches and the farther north 1t
travels the shorter it grows. The
northernmost trek is in the cooler
waters Of Cape Cod. During the
winter the mullets dig deep into the
soft mud and hibernate until spring
suns warm the waters.
There are many fish stories that
cannot be proved. Here is one you
can verify. Mullets are like moths,
in that they cannot resist a bright
light. Northern visitors to Florida
have had this unusual experience.
They go out in a fiat boat to the
spot where mullets are abundant
and anchor their boat. In a short
time. after quiet has been restored
in the vicinity. bright flashlight
or lantern is placed in the prov of
the boat. The mullet, becoming
aware of the beacon, will jump
toward it and naturally many of
them land in the boat. To an angler

Fiber Board Solves
Shrinkage Problem
For Wainscoting
V-Grooved Panels
Used in RemodeIing
OId-Foshioned House

The return to early American
styles in architecture and to Vic
torianism in furniture and decora-
tions is bringing old-fashioned
matched and beaded wainscoting for
interior wall surfaces back into
favor.
One of the outstanding examples
OF this is in the Iowa City Uowa)
home of Grant Wood, famed creator
of American Gothic" and other
typically American paintings.
Woods house, more than 80 years
old. has been remodeled throughout
in keeping with the period in which
1t was built. and the paneling is a
noteworthy example of old methods
being combined with modern ma
terials.
Large Panels Grooved.
Duplication of the old-fashioned
dado presented some problems.
Standard matched and beaded stock,
Mr.. Wood found, has a tendency to
shrink, leaving wide cracks between
joints. Finally he turned to a wood
fiber board he had used instead of
canvas in so many of his paintings.
He knew the way in which this
board would take paint, and he also
knew that it would not shrink or
warp.
He had the fiber board V grooved
at 3-inch intervals. The grooves
-sixteenths of an inch wide, are
cut to the edge of the panels to
insure neat fitting. The large
panels are applied flush against the
old wall, with molding at the top
Also Used Up to Ceiling.
Around the fireplace this ma
terial was used clear to the ceiling
The same plan was followed in the
hallway and stairwell In other
rooms 1t was used to either chair
rail height or up to level with the
top of the doors, Offering a plain
surface to Offset the prominently
figured wallpaper. In the dining
room it was used both as a dado and
as front for the built-in china
silver and linen cabinet extending
across one wall. 1t was used from
floor to ceiling on the kitchen walls
Painted white, this surfacing has
all the beauty and stateliness of a
mid-19th century home and at the
same time the sickness and utility

Down in Puerto Rico mullet are
