BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Thoreau once said of this fish
that 1T tastes like brown paper
salted," which would not be a recon-
mendation to cook it unless driven
to do so by extreme hunger. How
ever, others disagree heartily with
Thoreau. Anyway, it is the largest
club of the eastern rivers, and is
often caught and sought, so we
can see how anglers often differ in
opinion.
It is abundant from the St.
Lawrence basin to the James, east
of the Alleghanies, where the water
is clear in the rock pools; in the
swift streams below the dams and
falls. and also in the clear lakes.
Fifteen inches is a very fine
length for the fallfish, though there
are records of some reaching a
length of 18 inches. The record
weight Of 81 pounds was of q chub
taken from Canadian waters.
In spite of the disparaging re-
mark by the famous Thoreau ang-
lers are found of seeking it be-
cause it Is so gamey and tests the
ability of the fisherman and after
all that is often what most anglers
are after. A good tustle with fish
that has lots of unusual tricks, its
weight in spunk and time meaning
nothing in its life, gives the tired
business man something else to oc-
cupy his mind besides the depression
and his income tax returns. If you

have noticed the number of per-
mits issued to women and children
in the last few years, you can see
that they too are learning the fine
art of forgetting their troubles by
"goin' out fishen."
The chub was known to the early
Dutch settlers of New York They
called it "corporaalen" or corporal"
1t is also called, in other localities,
club, roach, silver club or wind
fish. Always check on the scientific
name, for the common one is not
always reliable. Alive and in good
health, the color of this chub is a
brilliant steel-blue above, with sides
and belly of a silvery hue. In the
spring, the males in their nuptial
livery are very handsome. Their
fins and belly are crimson, beauti-
full color contrast with the steel
blue back. There are no marks of
any kind on the fins.
The robust body is slightly COM
pressed and oblong in contour. The
large head is convex and the snout

Flat Surfaces Now
Provided by Makers
Of Plumbing Fixtures
New Device Is Trouble
Dodger for Husbands
Who Knock Down jars
BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

It's an axiom Of daily living that
things frequently are used for pur-
poses other than those intended.
Any reasonably fiat surface, such as
q radiator cover top, a wide corner
Of the bathtub or the top Of toilet
tank cover, Is apt to be pressed into
service as a place to set things down
all sorts of things from ash trays
to bottles and soap dishes and cos
metic jars.
Now these surfaces were not de-
signed primarily as shelves, but our
increasingly compact houses and
apartments have prompted us to use
every inch Of space that can be used,
which is as it should be. If you are
q realist you will figure on the use
Of all fiat surfaces in the household
no matter how much storage space
or shelf space is specially provided.
Out Of this situation has come
definite planning for double use by
manufacturers of equipment. Plumb
ing fixture manufacturers, particu-
larly, have improved their styling to
make it possible to provide more
and more fiat surfaces for holding
things. And one of the best places
to make a shelf, where none was
before, is the toilet tank cover.
This story is told by one maker of
plumbing fixtures: A young work.
man in the factory knocked a bottle
of his wife's favorite perfume of
the toilet tank cover one morning,
smashing it. His wife scolded about
1t, asked why nobody at the factory
had had sense enough to make q
cover that you could put things on
safely.
So her husband sketched up a new
kind Of cover, gave it to the design
chief. 1t is on the market nova
very fiat cover, made of chromium,
with guard rail around it to catch
things that might be accidentally
pushed to the edge. It's a trouble
dodger for all the other husbands
who might knock bottles, jars and
boxes of the toilet tank cover in
the bathroom.
The cover comes in two sizes, one
measuring 20A inches by 8 inches,
Evening star., 1940-03-02

must be tight, Of course, and all
actual holes stopped up If you would
keep the walls Of your masonry
house snug and dry.
The waterprooflng compound
comes in quarts, half gallons and
gallons, as well as larger quantities,
and costs 90 cents for . quart, s.
for Q gallon. It may be applied by
the householder himself.
Breathes there the mother who
has never worried about her small
children falling out a window? This
constant fear Of women everywhere
must have been in the minds of the
makers of the new disappearing
window protection bars of which we
have Just received word. For here
at least is way to bar windows
so children can't slip out, yet not
make your home look like q prison
at those times the children are
safely playing in the yard.
There are four bars for the aver
age-size window. They fit into steel
channels on the upper and lower
frame and are controlled by lock
which fastens them in place and
locks all bars In one action. To
move the bars to and from position
all you do is release the cylinder
type key lock In the lower channel
and lift the bars about one-eighth
Of an inch out of the recesses, then
slide them into or out of position.
You can do 1t with two fingers
they move easily.

for the smaller-size tanks; the other
measuring 23N inches by 8A inches,
for larger tanks. The smaller one
costs $40, the larger $500. To find
out which you need, just lift OF the
old china cover and measure 1t with
the tape measure.
The new shelf replaces the china
cover, ends bathroom shelf crowd
ing. It is particularly good for those
diversified bottles, like the ones alco-
hol comes in, for which there never
seems enough space in the medicine
chest. It is easily installed by the
adjustment Of two friction grip slides
on the under side Of the shelf. One
or the other Of the two sizes Of
covers mentioned above will fit most
tanks satisfactorily.

One Of the most important COM
forts Of home is dryness; this fact
is so much taken for granted that
nobody ever stops to think about it
until something happens to bring
unwelcome moisture through the
walls. But when spots OF moisture
appear, we most certainly want to
do something about it!
If the walls of your masonry
house show signs Of dampness, how
ever slightly, better consider apply
ing transparent waterproofer made
especially for use over brick, stone,
stucco, concrete, cement blocks, etc.,
above grade. They must be virgin
surfaces which have not been paint
ed so the waterproofer can reach
alkah deposits, so often found on
the surfaces of walls, and destroy
them. This it does without chang
ing the texture of the surface.
The waterproofing compound does
not discolor the finished wall, merely
makes it tend to shed water like
ducks back. Mortar joints also
