Officials OF Red Bank
Regatta Hoping for
Gold Cup Entries

Red Bank On. j. regatta officials
are hopeful that the annual Ma
tional Sweepstakes on the Shrews-
bury River next August again will
attract a portion of the Gold Cup
fleet that added color to the 1910
championships.
Although four Gold Cuppers ap-
peared on the scene for last years
Sweepstakes, the title went to the
rival 225-cubic-inch class, Tops III,
piloted by veteran Jack Cooper of
Kansas City, Md.
Notre Dame, the Gold Cup rec
ord holder, owned by Herbert Men
delson of Detroit, managed to
smash two Sweepstakes marks,
however, setting a new lap speed
OF 1928 miles an hour and a Is
mile heat standard of 76.140 m. p. h.,
but Tops raised the race total aver
age to 668O9 m. p. h. when none
of the cup boats was able to finish
all IS miles.
The sweepstakes are two weeks
before the annual Gold Cup cham
pionships at Detroit on Labor Day
and may serve as a warm-up for
some of the new title contenders
reported to be under construction.

perch fishing in the Potomac really
hitting its stride. At present they
are in shallow water but, soon will
move to deeper holes. A favorite
spot is near Chain Bridge, especially
on the Virginia shore, where after
moons now will be found a hundred
or more anglers.
Tiny bits of bloodworm on a
small hook is the preferred lure.
There always is the chance of pick
ing up a rock or a sizable catfish
or even bass, although bass must
be put back pronto as the season is
closed. The perch mostly are rather

BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.
An estimated $2O,OOOOO0 will be
paid out by 100000 boat owners
of America for fitting-out expenses
this spring.
The spending spree this year,
however, will find yachtsmen pay
ing higher prices for their marine
accessories than in previous years.
There is no denying the fact that
national defense needs have cut
heavily into the marine industry,
although in no way can 1t be called
commodity speculation.
The boating industry is linked
closely with Uncle Sans Navy and
Coast Guard, and there is little
question who will receive prefer
ence. That is as it should be-
Two of the city's largest marine
supply houses are frank in admit
ting prices are up on almost every
thing in the accessory line. Where
machine work is involved in prod
uct its cost has risen as much as
25 per cent, they reveal.
Must Order in Advance.
Some articles must be ordered
days in advance, they report, as the
marine business comes up against
scattered instances Of bottlenecks
or "au out" replies.
One of the hardest hit products
In the marine field is the ever
popular cupboard engine. While
there is no indication at this time
that the country's leading manu-
facturers of outboards plan to stop
production, one fact of Importance
cannot be overlooked - outboards
are built of that priceless metal,
aluminium.
Outboard designers long have
found that aluminium is the ideal
material for these engines, but the
metal is needed urgently elsewhere
today.
Local store officials report orders
for outboards other than those al
ready in stock must be placed 80
days in advance of delivery here.
One establishment also states that
yacht propellers, which usually are
of bronze, are SLOW in coming in"
Quick Service Is Out.
Many are the yachtsmen who ap-
pear on a Saturday afternoon at
their favorite dealers expecting to
find the very same day a certain
gadget or accessory.
Brother yachtsman, give your
dealer a break.
Don't forget that at least rs per
cent of all marine accessories fall
In the speciality class-they are not
machined until an order has been
received.
In the days of pre-national de-
fense a shop could take an order
overnight and probably have it de-
livered by the following week end.
But no longer. These same manu-
facturers are crowded with Gov
ernment orders, and yours at best
will rate only second preference.
If you still have hopes of getting
overheard and under way before.
summer sets in plan to order those
specialties well ahead of time, and
while waiting turn to on other jobs
that can be done without much
delay.

Sur1 anglers particularly QeHSnI
in moonlight fishing for channel
bass and not without reason. Those
miles upon miles of hard sandy
beach are oven hot during the day.
Creature comfort alone is not
the only reason, however. because
by experience anglers have learned
that drum bite best in the surf
before dawn and after dusk during
hot weather, with the tides affecting
their feeding times. Night fishing
is best from the surf and a moon
makes it ideal. Next full moon
is May II.
Best time to catch channel bass
is at high tide and. for two hours
thereafter. High water brings them
close to shore across the bars and
within casting distance, and as the
water receeds they of course must
go back with it past the bars. A
good spot as the tide goes out is at
a slough in the bars where the big
feed on the tiny animals washed out.
These sloughs may be spotted at
low water and marked, or the action
of the waves sometimes indicates
their location.
Sloughs marked one night may
not be there the next, though, as
the action of water continually
changes them.
Trollers are not greatly concerned
over tides and sloughs as they
operate outside the bars. There
they often find drum schooled up
as numerous as minnows and we
have seen them so thick the reflec-
tion from the sun on their backs
made it appear as though the water
were copper-colored.

A solemn little card has been re-
ceived from the New York Office of
Lloyd's Register of American
Yachts. that information packed
annual which tells the boatman all
about the other fellows yacht and
a lot besides. The notice tells a
story all its own.
Here is the note that went to
all subscribers of the register:
Owing to unforeseen disiculties
we are compelled to omit the flag
section of the 194l edition of the
American Yacht Register. These
| flag plates normally are produced
through our London establishment,
and we now learn that consign-
ments of flags and sketches sent
there for reproduction have been
! lost at sea.
The remainder of the book will
be issued in its usual form, and,
while we regret having to suspend
the flag section, we trust that the
new edition will meet with its usual
favorable reception from our sub
scribers. We plan. of course, to
restore this interesting feature on
| the return of more normal condi-
tions."
Yachting as usual is their by
word.
Paul Donley, commodore of Wash
ington Yacht Club, recently heard
from the cruising Liskeys, Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul Liskey of Washington.
The couple, writing from Miami,
Fla, report they are on their way
home and plan to make Chesa-
peake Bay their base at least for
this summer.
Liskey, former automobile elec-
trician, and his wife packed up one
day nearly year ago and set out
from their Washington Y. G. moor
ing aboard their 30-foot auxiliary
sloop.
Since that time they have cruised
the South Atlantic seaboard, the
Bahamas and the Gulf coast, paus-
ing at whatever ports suited their
whim. Now they are longing for
the old, familiar cruising ground
closer to home.

This regulation stipulates that
large boats must be moored in a

PROSPECTORS WORKING NIGHTS TO FIND SCHEELITE

TALON, Nev. - Night pros- pectors with fuorescent lamps are hunting scheelite, from which tungsten, strategic war mineral is obtained in 2Omile belt in the area.
 Hundreds of claims have been staked out during recent months.
 The region, including Pershing, Churchill and northern Mineral counties, shows more mineraliza- ton from metamoric contact than any other opened in the far west.
 The night prospectors hunt Schoolite with lamps after first having scanned the hillsides for granite and limestone contacts. In the daytime they spot crop pings at the contact points, later 10 give them the lamp test at night.
 The lamps at night bring out luminous spots of scheelite.
 'Cye Cox, who last year discov cred several croppings of schee- lite, has located 3l croppings along two groups of claims which extend in an east and west dir ection for two miles. Most of these lie in masses rather than in viens, one bulk standing 20 feet high and 20 feet across.
 The exposed rocks were thick ly sprinkled with bright freckles about the size of a half dollar.
 Production is already under wya at the end of Cox's east group of claims, where Walter P. Eastman of Utah has been taking out ore for two months.

They're Representative

These represent the kind of nen who are going over to cities as chiefs of police, carrying with them FBI methods. NPA grad uates who have not worked for the FBI had the cream of know ledge the FBI has assembled.
 Here is another sidelight. The District of Columbia police force, because of an unprecedented epi- demic of unsolved crimes, is un- der congressional investigation. Almost at the outset, it was dis closed that only one man in the Wa: hington police force ever had been through the FBTs national police academy and that there is no former FBI man on the local force.
 Perhaps it is pertinent to this story that Capt. Harvey G. Gala han, the only Washington police eoan who ever did swallow the FBTs concentrated capsule of law enforcement, may be the oaxt chief of police of the na- tion's capital.

Eyes for the Night
(NeW York Tines)

From London comes the news that an American method of photographing German cities, dockyards and other strategic positions by night has been used with brilliant success by the Ray al Air Force Brilliant" is the right work because of the illum ination that makes the perform ance possible. With engines cut off, the reconnoitering plane drops 10 an altitude of a mile and releases a flash bomb contain ing from 20 10 40 pounds of mag nesium powder, which enromous amount is touched off by a time fuse. The momentary blindinb glare, which $ said to be as bright as the afternoon sun, causes a photo electric cell to send a signal which trips the el- ectric shutter of a specia ly de- signed camera in the airplane on high. As each bomb is thus ex- $ploded a terrain of about five square miles is photographed. Moreover, the film is automatic ally shifted to bring a new frame in line with the axis of the lens after each flash. Photographs are developed in mida;r and their revelations radioed to bombers or headquarters.
 There can be l:tle doubt that this is the very invention which was demonstrated last October over Rochester. N. Y. and the surrounding region. A dozen times magnesium bombs burst over the city, and a dozen times photographs were made that left nothing to be desired in detail. Eyes had been given to the night fiiers. We have daylight here. 7" Major George w. Goddard, the Army's observer, is said to have dec ared on that occasion. He did not exaggerate; for the flash of the exploding bombs is of the order of billion candlepoW CT. Something of the importance of the achievement may be glean ed from the fact that there have been times when an extra hour of daylight would have changed the course of a battle and the history of the world. In these days of lending all possible aid to Britain it is good to know that we have communicates Sto the Royal Ar Force 3 way of making nocturnal photographs which we we would have kept to ourselves in ordinary times.
