MASS Production
methods Harvest
frog Legs

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 25.-Thirty-six
Seminole Indians are reaping q
bonanza IS miles from Miami's
bright lights these starry nights
hunting frogs in Miami's Everglades
to feed Miami's tourist horde.
Miami's tourist palate for frog legs
is so acute that last week Capt.
Toms Fish Market here paid Willie
Osceola $700 cold cash for skinned
frog legs and called for more.
Willie Osceola has torn leaf from
the Nations text books of mass pro-
duction and applied it to his frog
hunting expeditions. Instead of
dugout, Willie now uses f1at-bottom
barges about 8 feet square which
draw only inch of water. Instead
of padding them, he has an airplane
propeller and an automobile motor
on the rear of each, which skim the
shallow Everglades at 80 miles per
hour. Instead OF catching frogs in
the daytime, he uses powerful auto
mobile searchlights and works hilar-
iously yelling Seminoles all night
long catching frogs with a loop on
the end of pole. The spotlight
blinds 'em and Willie and his gang
do the rest.
After an all-night junket in the
Everglades-and sometimes it's
whole week before they come back
Willie and his boys take the pants
off the frogs-skinning to you-and
send the hind legs and first joint to
the Miami marketA

-Rivaling the exotic hibiscus, poin-
settia, allamanda and lush verdure
of the Sub-tropics the smart set in
Florida is blossoming out in a color
riot Of reds, greens. blues and yel-
lows.
Cottons splashed with giant
| flowers in gorgeous hues that blend
with sunny settings of sea shore,
palm -bordered promenades, sports
courts and yacht decks are favored
by the fair sex, while the males are
going native in dazzling prints that
presage a glorious fashion future
for men.
Milday's frocks and playsuits are
going completely South American
in subtle and not so subtle colors
extending to both ends of the spec
trum. Popular, too, are smart clothes
fashioned Of linen in natural shade,
with colorfully blended contrasting
belts, handbags and hats.
Turbans in summery colors,
feathery light straws in classic cas-
ual styles or broad-brimmed bon
nets for special afternoon functions,
are fashions dictates for milady's
pretty head.
On the beach the ensemble is the
thing, from suit to coat in matching
materials. A very wearable type is
the two-piece cotton suit which
comes with a matching beach coat
and matching skirt, the latter being
rather nice to slip over the suit
after a mornings sun bath and save
having to dress for lunch.
The patriotic and nautical motif is
prevalent also, red, white and blue,
combinations, stars. stripes and
anchors, adorning sailor collars.
They are a brilliant lot, these
tropical wear formulas, with strik-
ing patterns in splashy colors, on
white grounds.
To the delight of their women
folk, the men are bursting out in
color too, not only in swimming
trunks but in beach robes, ponchos,
shorts, shirts and ties.
Hawaiian, Javanese. American
Indian and South American prints
compete with the bright supshine In
creating a gay atmosphere on the
beaches.
Terrycloth blazers, and short
terrycloth beach jackets of hip
length, in plain, striped or checked
patterns are popular.
Sports shirts favorites are novelty
cotton meshes and knitted basque
shirts, with round neckline and
short sleeves, in stripes, checks and
plaids.
Corduroy slacks, and occasionally,
corduroy shirts may be spotted
around the smart shore clubs.
For fishing. and also golfing. cot

Sport Fishermen Try
Winter Codfishinq

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 25.-Cod-
fishing, long monopolized here by the
commercial men, is becoming pop
ular as a winter pastime for the
sport fishermen.
The fish are running larger than
usual this season, averaging between
10 and IA pounds, and are being
brought back in large quantities by
both groups.
Codfishing for sport means bot
tom-fishing Equipment includes
rod and reel and 32-thread line.
Hooks are No 80, somewhat larger
than a weakfish barb. The fish are
caught over wrecks a few miles off
shore and when hooked provide the
same thrill as a weakfish, croaker or
kingfsh, although they generally
are heavier.

up the mountain side and around
June Is it will sweep to the natural
gardens of North Carolina's "balds."
Some of these balds, notably Craggy
Mountain, are covered with hun
dreds of acres of rhododendron
plants. In June North Carolina has
its Rhododendron Festival at Ashe-
vile, to celebrate the arrival of the
blossoms and the coming of the new
season.
Meantime, the mountain azaleas
have arrived and appear as brilliant
patches of the mountain sides. In
some cases (such as at Wayah Bald
the azaleas occur in great masses, of
such fiery brilliance that the noun
talntops appear to be af1ame.
In addition to these distinctive
plants, North Carolina has many
plant communities interesting both
to the botanist and the flower lover,
notably, the exclusive Venus fytrap,
which in May puts forth a snowy
blossom. This curious plant is found
only in Brunswick County, in South

also is the dune country, where

Frank w Laurenson. expert
cameraman who has watched the
success and failure of shutterbugs
of varying degrees of skill operat-
ing in South America, gives this
tip: The most common fault of
pictures made by travellers in South
America is overeXposure. The light
is especially intense around the
Equator; on the beaches of Rio and
even the pampas of Argentina it is
deceptively bright. Work with a
light meter if YOU have one. If
you do not, make several shots of
the same scene at different shutter
speeds and openings, keep a record
of them and after the film is de-
veloped, you'll have basis for your
future work. A good medium yellow
filter is important: light yellow is
not strong enough"
