light on one Of the mysteries of
Hollywood, to-wit: What Is the
allure which Rags Ragland exer-
cises over so many Of the village
lovelies?
That the comedian is alluring
must be assumed from the number
Of pretty girls so often seen on
his strong right arm from time to
time as he drops into the various
wellknown rendezvous around the
town.
She may be flashing brunette,
or a demure blonde, followed by a
striking redhead or an in-between,
such as honey-haired or brownette
cuties.
That there's mystery is acknowl-
edged by no less an authority than
the Ragland person himself.
"Me?" he inquired with a sur.
prised stare, on the set Of "Du.

Metro Goldwyn-Mayer musica

Rags went on to explain that in
his graduating class Che couldn't

chosen as the most likely TO sue

gang around the pool parlor in
good old Louisville, KY, from
which he graduated to the theater
and then into the movies, ever
nominate him as the Dan Juan OF
the Adonis Of the South.
Being as I'm confounded in the
matter" concluded Rags, perhaps
it would be well to get the view
point Of some of the beautiful girls
in question"
This was done. Five pretty
young Hollywood actresses were
interviewed re Rags Ragland with
the following results:
Kay Aldridge: II like quiet eve-
nings at home with a good book

ing any Of his conversation while
I'm reading. He never says any
thing worth while"
Inez Cooper: "I'm very fond OF
dancing and there is nobody with
whom I'd rather visit the palaces
of terpsichore than the said Mr..
Ragland. He always carries a good
dancer along"

swanky cafes confuse him. He
can't add up the large numbers.
Jerrie Bulkley: 81 adore walk

unpatriotic these days to wear out
rubber tires"
Hazel Brooks: "I like to be alone.
No one can make a girl feel 50
alone as Rags"

NEW YORK (FP)-Calls for a

these areas.
AS reported several weeks ago
the Lake Erie fishing is the best
in years, according TO the state
conservation commission, this Is
due to a cycle which every four
years shows the take of CONNER
cial and sport fishermen TO be
larger than in the intervening
years.
GAME FISH
When game fish are not biting
it might be well for the angler 10
try out some of his other fishing
tackle for some Of the smaller
or panfish as they are commonly
termed. This species Of fish are
extremely palatable and are easily
and quickly prepared in the frying
pan. The name panfish is derived
from the fact that this group are
easily cooked in a pan and rarely
come larger than a pound and a
half in size. Some Of the mem
bers Of this group are blue gills,
catfish. perch and rock bass.

TECHNIC

Among the older fishermen 1t
is generally conceded that the
smaller and fewer the hooks, the
better the results. Often it has
been the practice Of many Of the
newer converts to fishing to buy
lures covered with hooks, many of
these being larger than the mouth
Of the fish viii take. A check-up
Of the fellows who catch the most
fish will generally show that the
tendency on their part is to use
smah hook and eliminate the treble
hook. The double hooks seem to
catch more fish and are less apt
TO catch on underwater obstruc-
tions. Treble hooks can be turned
into doubles by cutting out the
lower hooks and leaving the upper
set riding on top.
After all it is the hook that
catches the fish and the more care
full attention paid TO this part of
the terminal tackle the more pleas
ure and fuller creel or tub win
be the reward.
