Popular Food

Smelt are an excellent fish. to
eat, as has been indicated by the
growing acceptance on midwest
ern tables.
A proposal advanced by COM
mercial fishermen that dipperS be
prohibited from selling their fish
has aroused popular opposition.
State and federal agencies are
looking to development of new
uses. such as canning, sailing,
picking or smoking of Smelt TO
relieve the Spring price break and
wastage.
At one time commercial fisher
men considered smelt a nuisance
to the netting of other fish. Now
they fish for smelt regularly
throughout the Winter. Their 1910
production of more than 2,390. 900
pounds was exceeded in quantity
only by herring, lake trout and
sucker.

Back in the Spring of 1918.
handful of Beulah residents went
down to Cold Creek and dipped a
few hundred pounds of silvery
smelt TO set off one of the most
colorful outdoor sports in the his
tory of the state. Since that date,
this annual Spring event has
grown 10 such proportions that II
annually attracts tens of thousands
of fishermen. Last year they
scooped up 1000, 900 pounds, worth
$4,000.
The principal topic of conversa-
ton now in scores of towns along
the Great Lakes coastline and on
many of Michigan's inland lakes
is just when dipping operations
may be expected
Dates are fairly constant for
each locality. although they vary a
little according to the time the
ice breaks up Dipping, however, is
legal after March l, on designated
waters, but the run usually does
not start much before March IL.

Starred With FLOWERS

Just within the line of trees,
on Sun-warmed slope, we
caught glimpses of color. We ran
forward 10 brown earth starred
with flower clusters of exquisite
beauty. Carefully we stepped
among the hepaticas that we
might not crush them; some
flowers were blue, some were
near-white. We kneeled in the
moist earth. clearing away rot
ting leaves and twigs from about
one especially lovely plant that
we might better see this earliest
flower OF our Spring woods.
The flowers we're without per-
fume. We have been told some
hepaticas bear faint fragrance
but never have we found them.
In other years female worker
bees sought the hepaticas. but
this day none was TO be seen.
We do not know whether or not
the honey bees find nectar in
these colorful flowers.
If we were asked TO choose
our favorite of the woodland we
should answer readily. The blue

our woods but we should cling 10

hardy plant that At times we
have seen in blossom when snow

TURF TOPICS

II Detroit gets any share of the
Kentucky Derby glory this year
il will all be owed to a lanky
bay gelding named Quintillian,
from the Tall Trees Stable of
Mrs. Frank ]. Navin.
This son of Quatre Bras II and
Gayoso, now racing with the
Navin Stable at Hot Springs.
Ark, is the only Detroit-owned
nominee among the 112 3-year-
olds named for the SIS, 900
scramble at Churchill Downs
May 3.
Detroit owners have had as
many as IA entries in past years
with the Bomar Stables Grand
Slam. Charles T. Fishers Sweep
All and Sirocco among the most
prominent. But this year Dixiana
and the other big stables haven't
anything in the barn they want to
rush to form for the big race.
Doubtful Starter
Quintillian can be regarded as
a doubtful starter May 3, although
the gelding may prove &c be a
very useful horse. He has been
carefully handled and started only
twice last season. finishing third
once and unplaced in his other
outing. He is winner now, how
ever. having helped the stables
earnings by taking down his first
purse March 3, His big test will
come in the $1,000 added Arkansas

Revision OF Security
Act Planned By Board

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-LP-The
social security board is working on
a plan for revision of the social se'
curity act to protect the old age in
uranc status of civilians who leave
insured occupations to enter the
army or go to work on government
operated defense projects.
Neither army service or govern
ment work is covered by the social
security law. Therefore a citizen, SOL
der or defense worker does not &C.
cumulate wage credits in the social
security system during the time he
is on the government payroll.
Social security aides said that the
proposed revision probably would
enable such persons to continue to
accumulate wage credits toward
eventual old age retirement and sur
vivors benefits.

Senate Group Given Details
Of Reynolds Campaign Loan

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. Up "A
senate committee received a detailed
account today of how R. ]. Reynolds,
member of the wealthy tobacco fam
lily and new democratic national
treasurer, lent S275,000 to finance
radio time for President Roosevelt
during the campaign.
Oliver A. Quayle, general manager
and until recently treasurer of the
democratic national committee, tes-
titled before the senate group inves-
tigating campaign expenditures that
he made a telephone appeal to Rey-
nolds who promptly produced the
funds needed to prevent ~cancella-
ton of final prediction broadcasts
by the President and his supporters.
Senator Tobey (R-NH) Immediately
charged that Reynolds loans to
democratic state committees in New
York and New Jersey were schemes
to "circumvent terms of the Hatch
act" which he said limited an indi
viduals contribution to $1,000 ant
the total outlay of a national politi-
cal organization to $4,000, 900.
Quayle heatedly denied botf
charges and said that these HatcI
act limitations expressly exempted
operations of state committees.

ton and we want to know what YOU

Thank YOU" Quayle replied, color
rushing to his cheeks. Quayle ex.
planned that in the final days before
the November election he feared that
national democratic OUTLAWS would
go over the $4,000, 900 limitation and
so appealed first to New York and
then to New Jersey state party
groups to pay costs of final radio
appeals.
