Warm Wafer Improves
California Fishing

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.-Warm
water is giving Southern California
It's best ocean fishing In years. Vet
eran fishing shippers say unusually
warm currents have attracted more
fish,. brought them nearer the sur
face. and given them extra fight.
Pier fishing is the best many
water front old-timers can remem-
ber. Pleasure piers are bristling
with poles as visitors and residents
alike catch their dinner.
Even barracuda are caught from
piers now. The California barra-
cuda, q tasty dish, is much different
from his rather ferocious East Coast
cousin. The barracuda here is
smaller, has small teeth, and is SO
timid he fees from bathers or al
most anything else except fisher
mans well-baited hook. California
barracuda is fast and gamey and
puts up a good sporty fight on q
light line.
Pleasure fishing boats take throngs
Of visitors out over the kelp beds
where they are pulling in good
catches of halibut, bass, and espe-
cially barracuda. These are deep
sea boats, so one needs reasonable

Rocky Mountain Park
Counts Fewer Visitors

ESTES PARK, Colo, Aug. 15.-
The war plus gas and tire rationing
has cut vacation travel to Rocky
Mountain National Park this year.
Most notable among the private
automobiles is the rarity Of license
plates from distant States.
Individual rail-bus travel to Rocky
Mountain National Park has de-
clined the least, partly due to the
fact that many people who previ-
ously drove to Colorado in their
own automobiles are now saving
their tires and travelling on con-
venient trains.
Park visitors who have made the
trip to Colorado by rail report little
difficulty in obtaining comfortable
Accommodations on trains, especially
II they avoid weekend departures.
The Rocky Mountain Motor Co.,
which operates the bus service from
Denver to and through the park,
also has been able to accommodate
all travel without difficulty.

bility that accommodations for
civilian visitors will be further
squeezed before August wanes.
Although crowded with men in
uniform, the seaside Baghdad con-
tinues to attract pleasure bound va
cationists, and reports in Washing
ton indicate some difficulty In
getting suitable accommodation
especially over the week end. As
to the fear of reaching ones hotel
only to find the Army has taken
over in the meantime, safest insur-
ance against such dilemma is
confirmation of reservations from
hotel still open to the general
public. Negotiations by the Army
to operate the hotels usually are
under way for several weeks, and
date set far enough ahead for the
management to determine how
long reservations may be accepted
The list of places taken over to
date reads like social register of
Atlantic City's housing Among the
earliest to go, more than a month
ago, were the multi million dollar
Traymore, the Ambassador and the

The baggage problem on railroad

Designed especially to aid trav-
cling salesmen-whose supply of
gasoline has been drastically re-
stricted by the current rationing
policy-but capable of being ex-
panded into system for serving
other travellers. the Virginia Hotels
Association last week inaugurated
a plan to maintain registers of des-
tinations by automobile drivers to
help its patrons move about the
State.
The association adopted reso-
luton which called on It's members
to facilitate share -the-ride move
ment which would carry the sales
men on circuit sweeps. Travelling
men would be asked to specify how
many passengers could be taken,
the route to be covered and the
dates of departure and return, so
that others could make contact.
A similar register would list the
travel desires OF those having no
transportation. Pairing up these
two groups is expected to serve as
a practical approach to q pressing
transportation need.
While the system was worked out
primarily for the statesmen, extern
sion of the arrangements for pleas
ure travellers is possible, serving at
least in emergencies.

Smile Road

MASHOES. N. c.. Aug. 15.-For
the first time in 20 years, Mashoes
will, see an automobile. The five-
mile sandy road from Mann's Har-
Dor to this hitherto isolated Dare
County village is about completed
and almost any day the postman is
expected to arrive from the Landslide
instead Of from the waterside.
Il guess" said T. r. Midget,
whose home already is indubitably
the best looking one in the village,
"Iil have to keep the grass cut in
front of the house, what with all
the automobiles that might be
passing
Mashoes claims it Is the last village
in North Carolina not served by
public road (excusing, as the natives
say, the Outer Banks. Once the
post office there served as many as
20 families. Now half-dozen
households are extant. and the
chances are that the entire popula-
tion will be on hand to greet the
first mailman to come in on wheels.
The mailman heretofore has been
aquatic and youngsters have had to

Car Floated In.
Twenty years ago, Uncle Loft
Midget floated a secondhand car
into Mashoes on a f1atboat. The
path from the church to Bill
Howett's house widened for a half
mile stretch, and the villagers en-
joyed short pleasure rides for a
while. But the novelty wore off. the
car disappeared. the path was over
grown, and no more cars came to
Mashoes.
Mashoes Is in the middle of a
great fishing country, but life in
Mashoes is not as primitive as might
be concluded from these observa-
tions, Mashoes has no juke boxes,
and there is not single mortgaged
home. But the latest styles are to
be seen at Sunday school, and the
menfolk wear ties, same as every one
else, especially on sundays.
Once All-Day Trip.
The new road to Mashoes follows
the pattern Of road building found
most practical in that country. First
you dig ditch, and throw the earth
onto the bank. The ditchbank be-
comes the road and the ditch be-
comes canal, whose drainage keeps
the roadbed dry.
Going to Mashoes used to be an
all-day trip, and for years Capt. Tom
Midget has been chanting to his up
State friends:
Whenever you've got a day to lose,
come and spend 1t at Mashoes.
Now the motorist with only a
half day to lose can 60 to Mashoes.
