Flying Fish Return
To California Coast

LOS ANGELES, May l6.-Flying
fish, those robins of the spring" in
the blue Pacific waters of Southern
California, are back unusually early
this spring.
Back from where?
That's a mystery. Like robins
back East, the flying fish swarm
here all summer and fall. then van
ish in October. Not even scientists
know where they go.
In spring they're back. Already
they're squirting up from the path
Of the excursion boat taking vaca-
tionists on the 22-mile cruise to
Santa Catalina Island.
This probably means an early sea-
son for the huge tuna and sword
fish, which regard flying fish as a
tasty meal
Tropical flying fish are to IL
inches long and brown The South
ern California variety is IL to 18
inches long. with blue bodies and
irridescent wings.
They don't really fly, but glide.
Flights last $50 to 300 feet. With
the wind right, a flying fish ICONS
up Is to 20 feet. But the flying fish
are not good pilots-sometimes they
fly blindly onto the shore of Cata-
lima Island and are gobbled up there
by watchful foxes.

tion without restrictions, unless
some contingency arises. Some time
before, officials In Canada had said
that limitations in rail travel were
being thought over, along the lines
OF mileage restrictions. This pro-
posal seems to have subsidized.
A recent communication from the
Province Of Quebec quotes Thomas
Lockwood, federal controller of rail
and maritime transportation, as
saying there is no question of estab-
fishing a rationing system on
steamer and rail travel.
George Gray. controller Of auto
mobile transport. said he was un-
aware Of any projects which would
af1ect summer resorts serviced by
autobuses. I'VE are endeavoring,
he said, Ito eliminate non-essential
autobus lines and to avoid duplica-
ton OF services, so as to economic
on both tires and gasoline. But
localities which have no railway
connections will continue to be
serviced by buses, as they have in
the past"
The curtain on summer visits in
Florida, a popular summer diver
sion in recent years, was not rung
down In the Miami area when the
Army and Navy enlisted a number
OF hotels and apartments in the war
effort. AS of early this month. less
than 100 buildings had been taken
over, out of some 500 hotels and
$500 apartments.
According to estimates available
to hotel men in Miami Beach, the
height Of the Army Air Corps ac-
tivity in Miami Beach will require
only 80 per cent of the hotels, leav-
ing 70 per cent for civilian fur
lough" use of recreational travellers.
BY May S, SO of the 329 hotels in
Miami Beach had been leased to
the Army, which has contented it
self with one general area, leaving
many of the smart new uptown
hotels available to spring and sum-
mer visitors. Some hotels which
normally close after the winter sea-
son have decided to stay open the
year around for the duration to
cater to parents and visitors.
Summing up Army plans, It. Col.
Floyd E. Lindley assured the hotel
men: The contemplated plans for
Army activities in the Miami area
will still permit the visitors the best
in hotels and recreationaI facilities
for the enjoyment of Miami Beach
hospitality"
