The Citizen presents herewith
another in the series entitled,
Mature Notes, from the pen of
J. c. Galloway.
These articles appear regularly
in the Port Allegany (Penna)
Reporter and Argus, and were
composed while Mr.. and Mrs.
Galloway were guests in this
city during December and jan
uary.
The last article found Mr.. Gal
loway picturing life at the wa
terfront. The installment here
with continues at that point:
'Up by the street fish are being
hung up to be displayed and
photographed, their captors
standing beside them. Some are
the same as we have been seeing
But this broad silver scaled one
with the pale yellow band down
the side; that's an amberjack,
this one only 10 pounds or so,
but they often bring them in 35
pounds weight. And here is a
sand shark four feet or more,
beveled at the snout so you could
skid him like log. One of these
barracuda brighter than the
rest, and lines in the sun. And
these long mackerel, stiff aid
straight as sticks with widely
forked tail and silv. red all over
with aluminium paint, apparently;
these are king-fis1. that furnish
plenty of sport and are the lead
ing commercial fish here as well,
being one of the principal and
most popular food fishes.
Down on the walk stands a
bunch watching something going
on; and here another bin has
been opened and six strange, fish
laid out. Almost thin as board.
tapered like single from head
to tail, but between two and
three feet long, their heads might
have been rounded into quarter
circles by a band saw and run
straight to a point to the deeply
forked tail. And they are splash
ed with wondrous blue and gold,
and sprinkled with tiny purple
dots. Dolphins! D9lphins, those
classic creatures of the open sea,
famed for their swift chase of the
flying fishes, and far more for
the flaming colors said to ripple
on swift succession over the dying
fish. Why do some have higher
foreheads than others, we ask.
Bull dolphin. replies the cap
tain. The females have them
lower. But both fishes are thin
wedges to swiftly cut the blue
water.
Tn tired of restaurant food;
would you dress a dolphin for
baking and one for steak?' asks
one of the ladies of that party.
The captain cuts off a head,
cleans the fish and lays it open
in halves in a moments time, as
though it were cheese, with no
bones at all, so skillfully is it
done. He slides the knife under
the ribs and backbone and throws
them aside: he flattens the skin
down on the board and slides
the blade over it, and there are
the steaks. It's so easy when
you know how.
There at another boat. bait for
the morrow is being cut from a
barracuda. The fish lies on the
bin cover; the knife cuts even
width ribbons one after another
from the outer skin with scales,
/ leaving a white hide on the fish.
This done, other ribbons are cut
from the white skin with a thin
layer of flesh. Tomorrow. slipped
on the hooks and trolled. these
ribbons win CLEAN and CULVER

prices closed 1-8 to 3-4 cent higher
today after having been as much
as l 10 cents net lower earlier in
the season.
July contracts finished at 70 IL
to 3-8 and September at rs SO COM
pared with early lows of rs IL and

Although many traders preferred
to await more definite news re-
garding the peace terms to be i'm.
posed on France, trade was mod.
erately active but largely repre-
scented professional transactions.
Early selling and late buying ap-
peared to be geared to some ex-
tent to the varying trend of secur-
tiles. Some buying was attributed
to mills while the light marketward
movement of new wheat in the
southwest attracted attention.
Corn led the recovery of grains
and closed 3-8 to SO cent higher
than yesterday. July g., September

rye "a to 7-8 higher and lard "a

Wheat receipts at the IL princi-
pal terminals totaled 305, 900 BUSH
els. about SO, 900 more than a week
ago but sharply below the 2,257,0 600
bushels received a year ago. South
west terminals received only 400
cars against 1857 a year ago,
getting 272 cars compared with
936 last year.
Traders said marketing of new
wheat was running behind a ST
year because of the later harvest
and because much of the crop was
going into storage, with prices be-
low government loans rates. Stor-
ings were heavy last year, how
ever, as prices were 8 to 9 cents
lower than they are now while the
loan rate was only a cent lower.
Some grain interests estimated
about half of lie world market for
wheat has been affected directly by

poets of increased North American

''TORRID ZONE' MARKS
PROGRAM AT CAROLINA

1t all began with the script OF
'"Torrid Zone" the new Warner
Bros. film which opens today at
the Carolina Theatre. The heroine
of this sultry comedy-drama was
to be a torch singer from the
|U. S. A. who comes to the tropics
to cash in on her combined abilities
as a hot songstress and a card
sharp. Cast in this role, Miss Sheri-
dan took over brilliantly. The
|torch-singing part was a snap for
her, but she had to have some
lessons in plain and fancy dealing
to take care of the card sharp
part.
Another requisite of the role was
the ability to take a verbal showing
around in the picture from Pat
OBrien and James Cagney, with
whom she is starred. Well, Ann
could do that. too. Remember
ANGELS With Dirty Faces? In
'Torrid Zone" she battles with
both men, and comes close to get
ting a real spanking from Cagney
after she takes him over at cards.
Asked between takes what he
thought of ''oomph," Cagney, quot
ing one of his lines of dialogue
in the picture, said, II wouldn't
throw rocks at it,"
But" he added, ''how would
you feel if a dame clipped you
for three hundred bucks?"
March of Time tells Uncle Sans
