In fact the British are doing everything possible to make cer- tain that 1t does, They continue to advertise their products of every description, and remind the Argentines that come what may, England is their best customer over the long haul.
 Meantime the steel mill which Is being financed by the United States in Brazil might coneeivably make 1t possible for Brazil to sell Argentine steel at around 10 per cent less than 1t can be sold from North America, so 1t all looks Q bit confusing at times to North American interests.

Rod and Stream
By GEORGE HUBER.

Ever-changing fashions and the
war are introducing new types of
fishing tackle this season. The
Spanish civil war some years back
cut off large supply of silk worm
gut and cork and now the price
of genuine gut particularly is high,
making for many synthetic prod
ucts on the market. Among them
are several which can be tied dry,
something we didn't have before
American inventors were forced to
find substitutes.
There is trend away from gen.
uine agate, garnet and similar stones
for guides and rod mountings
Tungsten carbide is the most popu-
lar replacement. Nylon line is selling
better, with recent Improvements
doing away with much elasticity
which at first caused trouble.
Due to the current war, further
changes appear on the way. Seam
less tubular rods threaten to replace
bamboo sticks because bamboo i'm
porters are faced with tonkin
cane shortage. Commercial restric-
tions on aluminium and nickel affect
manufacture of tackle. Tenite or
other plastic rod handles are re-
placing those made of aluminium,
while bakelite, tenite and other sub
stances promise to replace nickel
in ferrules and reels.
Women Set Records.
England, Norway and other Euro
pean sources for hooks are being
cut off and it is likely that Amer
ican-made products will dominate
the market before long.
Women recently set two world
fishing records in Southern waters
