Godeet Hooks Fish
As AnqIer Works

Too busy to spend all his time
thumbing a reel, a Kansas City
angler has constructed an appa-
ratus which catches fish while
he Is working in his once at q
private lake in Jackson County,
Mo. He has made several good
catches recently. Eyes about the
size used with screen-door hooks
are placed on posts at the dock,
on q tree and on the window at
his lake home.
A regular fishing line is run
through the eyes and attached
to bell in his ONCE. Batting
the line, he will resume his work
and wait for the ring of the bell
when a fish starts pulling at the
edge of the dock, writes Frank
Alexander in the Kansas City
Star. Rushing out Of his home,
he will take the fish OF the line,
rebait the hook and go back to
work.

Dressed in a plain black dress
with white ruffles, Mrs Luce, wife
OF Time-LifeF Fortune publisher

in her headquarters while the re-
turns came in. But as the tension
mounted, and hordeS of out-of-
state neWspapermen and photog-
raphers piled her with questions and
requests for poses, she lost some of
her compoSure. When the telegram
came from Rep. Downs, conceding
her victory she emitted a ioyols
shrek. Arm in arm with her hus-
band, Mrs. Luce FASTENED out to
lead a noisy parade through the
downtown section.
Il have campaigned for fighting a
hard War-not a soft war;" Mrs.
Luce said. Therefore, this election
proves how the American people
wanted to fight this war. The

with their eyes open, not with blink

Mrs. Luce apparently owed her
election to the large vote piled up
by David Mansell, the Socialist
nominee Mansell polled l5429
