Catching Fish With a PIow

ordinary fish in the structure of
their breathing apparatus-ex-
cept that on each side of their
body they have a pocket of water
TO keep the breathing organs
moist. But these fish can't sur
vive extreme drought.
There is one fish, however, that
drought doesn't kill. 1t is the
East African Lungfish, which in
habits muddy pools in region
where heavy rains alternate with
long periods of extremely dry
weather. In the dry season, this
Lungfish burrows into the mud
and builds a little hut-like cell.
AS the mud dries this cell forms
a sort of cocoon with a small
opening through which the fish
gets enough air to live on.

same material used in mems
work clothes, but in a lighter
weight and of more charming
tone of blue.
Again, another outstanding
feature of all these garments Is
that the material has been pre-
shrunk by a special process. be-
fore the garments are made-up.
This insures a good fit at the
start, and also at the finish, for
such clothes cannot shrink and
cannot lose shape. OF how few
other garments can this be said!
To keep style and fit. garment
must be made-up from pre-shrunk
material.
Other details are worth remem-
boring; that specially-designed
slips" are also made to be worn
with these functional clothes,
slips that have special shoulder
straps or that have a slip-and-
brassiere top so put-together
that, even under violent move
ment, the garment holds up and
in place. Grippers ("snaps" TO
the home-maker) are sturdy;
seams are well-sewn, often in
contrasting color which gives a
note of pleasing variety.
Perhaps the last and best sur
prise news about these wartime
garments is their price-relatiye-
ly lower than for the usual
house dress" and this means a
Victory to our pocketbooks. as
well as Victory through comfort

That such a very real need
existed, was felt first by experts

JUNEAUMAN
 LEAPS INTO
 YAkUTAT BAY
Doubt Is Expressed as to Whether Filipino Drown
 ed After Jump from Ship

Apparently afraid of persecution by fellow passengers, who said h. resembled a Japanese, a 35-year- old Filipino leaped into the swirl. ing waters of Yakutat Bay from the deck of the steamer Yukor Saturday night.
 The Filipino, P. F. Cortez, was { bound for Juneau.
 Only Bob Kerchen, room stew ard, saw Cortez hurl himself from the blacked-out ship at SIS o'clock The steward emerged from an after cabin just in time to see Cortez clinging outside the port rail, hesi- tate for a moment and then jump feet first into the water.
 Ships officers expressed doubt as to whether the Filipino drowned, pointing out that he may have been wearing a lifebelt under his jacket.
 'Kerchen, crying man over board!" raced to the guardrail and threw a life preserver, which land- ed within 30 feet of the struggling man. His body half out of the water as though buoyed up by ] lifebelt, Cortez made no effort to reach the preserver. The vessel was brought to a halt immediately as Kerchen hurled a second preserver into the water.
 By this time, both the man and the first life preserver had dis appeared into the fog, which hid the shoreline 300 yards away. A dim glow marked the lights of Yakutat.
 Several passengers who rushed to the stern of the vessel saw Cortez before he disappeared into the murky night, not swimming but staying afloat with his shoulders riding well out of the water. Cries of "help!' were plainly audible from the deck as a lifeboat was lowered.
 Searchlights held the empty life preserver in view for several min utes as the lifebeat disappeared into the fog, but the boat returned after an hours hunt.
 Cortez boarded the ship at Cor dova as steerage passenger. The second day out he appealed to the purser for a first class cabin, say ing drunken steerage passengers had threatened his life because
