aided Lerner in boating another
broadbill weighing 535 pounds
Since, she has abetted anglers in
every corner of the world in landing
a total of 10000 pounds of big game
sters counting only those with
poundage exceeding 300. 1t is little
wonder she has become set in her
ways. Her trim lines are covered
with the names of world-renowned
anglers, and they are being added
constantly.
Betsy was relegated to the rack on
many occasions during the last two
years, when her hefty weight of
40-odd ounces was too much for the
modern trend of lighter tackle, and
Viola, tiny youngster of 16 ounces
with all the trimmings took her
place. It's hard to say today
whether Betsy or Viola is first in

game fish, not counting anything
under 300 pounds and the ones that
got away, credited to many anglers
on her slim tapered sides.
How far Betsy or Viola will go
in the game is something no one
can tell, but the difference in these
rods gives one an idea of the change
in tackle since Tommy first started
across the Stream back in 1882 for
the big ones that no angler seemed
able to hold, and If they fought the
fish too long the sharks got them.
Until 1888 he was confirmed in
his opinion that heavy tackle was

ability to boat his fish fast, before
the great scavengers could get the
scent and cut them off. Today Capt.
Tom Clifford is just as positive that
Viola and 24-thread can master any
fish.
Even though the first Bahamas
bluefin has been caught on "a
thread, it is doubtful if any of the
20 contestants in the present tour
nament will be using such light
tackle for the difference is too much
for fast competitive fishing. In fact,
we haven't any doubt that Steve
Bancroft, Hollywood celeb who is
fishing with Tommy aboard the
Stormy Petrol, will be using old
Betsy, particularly if the fish con-
tinue to run in the large schools OF
the last 10 days.
The Cat Cay Classic, as it has
been called, is just about the tough
est competitive fishing in the world.
1t probably is the most expensive
also if we exclude such trips as
those of Mike Lerner and Hans
Hinrichs to Chile and Peru, for
boat, guide and mere incidentals
take the best part of $1,000. The
pools and side bets take as much or
more, so it isn't difficult to under
stand why it continues as an invita-
tional affair. Yet there never seems
to be any dearth of entries.
This week the eyes of the big
game fishing world will be focused
on Cat Cay.

ghies.
The unique event was a feature
of the second day Of the regatta,
scheduled to end tomorrow with a
race from the cove to Alexandria.
With 20-footers acting as battle
ships and comets as destroyers, the
two four boat squadrons staged a
battle of racing tactics and close
teamwork over a 21k mile course in
the cove. When Ralph Young's
Seabiscuit and Charles Runyon's
Murgaes - both penguins - crossed
the finish line in the lead, their
team was declared the winner.
Responsibility for their safe ar
rival at the finish line went to team
members George bankers. who sailed
the 20-foot Spindrift, and Clarke
Daniel, skipper of the comet Rob-
ert E. Lee.

On the serious side for the day,
winners OF series events were Ernie
Covert's Scandal, comet class; Prem
tice Edrington's Lady Avon, 30
footers; Youngs' Seabiscuit, pen
gums. and Howard Brent's Frances,
handicap division.
Scandal, winner of the long-dis-
tance race down from Alexandria
yesterday, was tied with Daniel on
points, but by taking the Friday
event, won the series. A similar tie
cropped up between Edrington and
Lynn Eldridge's Spindrift The prize
went to Lady Avon for beating
Spindrift in the long distance event.
Youngs and Runyon tied for first
place in the penguin class. and the
former was awarded the prize on
the basis of better elapsed time for
the day
Winner of second novelty race
held in the forenoon was the knock
about Frances, sailed this time by
Gaines Palmes. Racing on a handi-
cap basis, each boat was sailed bv
a novice skipper. Scandal was the
flrst boat to finish, but when the
race committee aboard Chairman

cred the skipper was Leslie Wright,

Experts on Nutrition
Meet 10 Decide How
u. ). Should Be Fed
Conference on Food
Needs for Defense
Called by President

How to feed America, and perhaps
eventually half the world. in the
present emergency will be discussed
by the country's foremost experts
on nutrition who open a fOur-day
session at the MayfloWer Hotel TO-
morrow in a conference called by
President Roosevelt.
Even with overfowing barns and
surpluses of almost every foodstuf
! grown in temperate climates, recent
nutrition studies by Agriculture De-
partment experts have shown that
America S own diet is far from ade-
quate. Little actual munger is re-
ported, and clinically important nu-
| tritional disease is confined to the
so-called pellagra belt of the South,
but there is wide evidence of sub
clinical food deficiencies that are
sapping the general health and rob-
bing the people of the pep essen
tial for major united effort.
The conference will go thoroughly
into the vitamln problem. At the

sufficient amounts of them in cheap
foods which are eaten by the people
Sponsored Vitamin Breads.
The drive to improve the Nations
diet got under way early this winter
under the general direction of DR..
M. l.. Wilson, former Assistant Sec
retary of Agriculture, aided by a
committee of experts. This COM
mittee is largely responsible for
the vitamin-enriched bread now on
many American tables. The con-
ference is being held under the
general direction of the Federal
Security Agency.
The first section will deal with
research. The science of nutrition
is young and in many lines of in

| made in the accumula, ion of data
Not all the nutrients essential for
human Well-being are known.
Most experimental studies in the
past have been conducted with ami

which show that marked differences

A Third of Nation.
The second section will deal with
| the relationships between economics
and nutrition. Even IN so-called
prosperous times, it is pointed out
in the preliminary outline, large

lation is ill-fed, in part because of
| unwise choice of foods, but chiefly
because of poverty.

tablish a national nutrition mini

majority.

triton problem will be considered

lem of nutrition and maternal and
child health.
Tentative remedies for preventing
widespread national malnutrition,
proposed by this section, include
wider distribution of inexpensive
foods with high nutritive value such
as skinned milk solids, dried eggs
and peanut and soy bean f1ours.
Probably the most significant Sec
ton of the conference will deal with
nutrition for defense workers.
Many Ill-Fed Now.
AS the demand is intensified. says
a statement issued by this section,
the supply Of the skilled and ex-
perienced will become exhausted and
there will be a call for young men
and women who have never had
working experience and for older
persons who have been unemployed
for years. A comparatively large
proportion of such persons will be
suffering from physical defects as
sociated with malnutrition. There
is some evidence that large pro-
portion of w. P A. workers at pres
ent are malnouriShed and that those
not on w P. A. but in similar in
come groups are even worse off"
Nutrition is looked upon in a
large measure as an educational
problem. Adequate diets often can
be purchased cheaply if housewives
know what to buy and how to take
advantage of seasonal markets.
Methods of extending this knowl-
edge will be considered.
Methods of distributing food, such
as the food stamp plan of the De-
partment of Agriculture, will be
discussed by one of the largest Sec
tions.
