WASHINGTON Fishing in the postwar world may be done by heli- copter :. ;. that cheap. slow-moving
 skyfiy which can hover over the water to locate schools of fish. 1 One Washington fish expert 1 Charles E. Jackson, also foresees the use of radar. echo-sounding depth finders and even blimps for large scale fish operations. In the future, too, he sees factory ships that can fish "righS on the spot, and improved methods Of fish re- l frigeration and dehydration.
 ? The war has revolutionized the { fishing industry. It deprived the American hostess of her party-pop- ular imported anchovies, crabs, sar- dimes and smoked fish products, but at the same time forced us to look into our own waters for fish to re- place imports. It made it impera- tive to find new sources of vitamin oils and we found them. luckily, in many of our trash" fish :. thrown back by our fishermen as worthless before the war.
 Right now there just isn't enough vitamin A, the anti-infection vita min-wnich increases visibility in the dark-to go around. That 5 tough on war workers and fighting men who need it. Over-fshing of the soup-fin shark to secure the vitamin-rich liver oils has practi- cally resulted in it's extinction. sIn our search arising out of our wartime crucial needs. we found new commercial uses for fish by products. Fish oil, for example, is needed as core oil in the casting of metals, and in the manufacture of printing ink. linoleum, oil cloth. paints and varnishes.
 One of the most optimistic Of prophets is Jackson. assistant di- rector of the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice of the Department of Interior. He sees our expanded fishing in- dustry extending over the ocean waters of the world, although be- fore the war only II per cent of our catch was taken off foreign shores. He's already talking about our annual fish and seaweed bag no longer being second to Japan's.
 Well, if we win fish war with Japan, that's good, too Before we entered the war, the Japanese were supplying most of our crabmeat. They caught the giant king crab va riety right under our noses, on the

 One of the most important prod ucts of seaweed is agar, gelatin like substance on which bacteria cultures are grown in scientific laboratories. The War department is even looking into the use of sea- moss in the making of munitions. Agar weed-gathering was exclu- sively Japanese industry prior to 1941.
 Tn fact" says Jackson, most of the things we once imported could have been produced right in this country. For instance, small business units could duplicate the smoked fish products we used to get from Norway. They could cater to the delicatessen trade with line of fish pastes and smoked or pickled products and other fancy packs. They are already smoking white fish and fancy-packing squid."
 Too many untapped fish sources exist says Jackson, determined to tap them as soon as possible. Every year the fisheries of Alas ka return to the people of the United States more than five times the purchase price of the territory, yet this catch is confined to three species salmon, herring and halibut," Jackson tells us. We have reason to believe that in the Bering Sea, and from the Aleutians down the Alaskan coast to British Columbia, there are tremendous quantities of founders. pollock, cod, and other species. If we. do not make use of them, some other na- tion willw

 To most Americans, as to the hip boot and sou'wester men, fish for the table will be the primary req son for hauling the shining things out of the water But fisheries are beginning to realize that it is the hundreds of other uses of water animals and plants that make the industry pay big.
 Never Enough
 Jackson drives home that point. Tt would be safe to say today that if we did not consume a single pound of these fish for food. we still would not have enough fish for industrial and other uses."
 Farmers can't get enough fish meal (the dry, powdered residue) for their cattle and poultry. The vitamin pill-maker can't get ade- quate amounts of fish oil.

matical prophets are busy gathering
statistics to show what women are
going to do after the war. It is loves
labor lost, for women don't know
what they can do, or what they will
have to do, or even what they will
want to do when the war is over
and Uncle Sam kisses them good by.
There are days when they wake
up with q headache and feeling
tired when they will think that they
long to be back in the kitchen,
where they can scrape up a few
sandwiches If they don't feel like
cooking a meal. And there will be
other days when they are full of
pep, and have their eyes on q
swanky new dress, when they are
sure that nothing but death could
separate them from their jobs and
their pay envelopes. And which
way the cat is going to jump, no
body can prognosticate.
The only thing that is certain Is
that the war has changed the whole
status OF women and given them a
different outlook on life, and that
Sister Sue and Nom are never 60
ing to be again what they used to
be. They have acquired new skills.
They have found out that they could
do things that they never dreamed
they could do. For the first time in
their lives they have known the
freedom and independence that hav-
Ing their own money gave them,
and this experience has not de-
veloped Patient Griselda complex
In them.
The first war emancipated girls
who scrapped the clinging- vine
theory forever. This war has eman-
cipated the married women and
made the meek wife, who s-yessed
her husband and took whatever
treatment he accorded her, as ex-
tinct as the dodo. The woman who
has once earned her own money has
tasted blood. She has proved that
she can support herself and she is
never going to be pushed around by
any mere husband again. Whether
this will increase divorce, or practi-
cally do away with it, only time can
tell. But husbands are going to have
to watch their steps much closer in
the future than they have in the
past.
But what is going to complicate
the situation Is nature. Being q
WAC, or a WAVE, or a boss welder
or whatnot is not going to do away
with woman's cosmic urge for love
and romance and husband and
children and home, and how they
are to be combined with q career
nobody knows. For making home
and keeping husband happy and
satisfied. and bringing up children
is full-time job for any woman
And that it can't be scamped is be-
ing abundantly proven to us at the
present moment by the husbands
who are playing around with their
pet wolverines while their wives are
riveting airplanes, and their chill
dren are adding to the juvenile de-
lnquency problem.
For modern ingenuity has devised

To Mother, With Love
-PhotoEraph by charmante studio, Inc, New
By Eveiyn Hayes

Every day is Mothers Day." said
the veteran at Walter Reed when
we asked him what he was going
to send his Ma for May 10. We can
see what he meant, too. Because,
in times Of stress and strife our
thoughts always 60 winging toward
Mother, the day in her honor will
probably have greater significance
this year.
Daughters never find this gift
problem difficult because, after all,
it's just a question of one woman
shopping for another, but the men
will sweat out" the what-to-buy
for this day as they do for Christmas
and anniversaries. To them-and
their mothers-thiS column doffs its
new spring bonnet.
Perfume is always surefire choice
for any daughter of Eve, no matter
what her age, no matter what the
occasion. Her tastes may change as
she grows older, but the scented stuff
is always good for squeal of de-
Highland the bigger the bottle, the
louder the squeal.
Probably because they were the
flowers that Dad used to send when
he was courting her, violets have
always been a favorite of mothers
There are a few good violet per-
fumes, but we go for one that's par
ticularly lovely and lasting-a deep
luscious fragrance that has caught
perfectly the appealing scent of the
first purple violets. The bottle is
a simple squared-off affair that is
very smart in its own right.
Instead Of the Real Thing, many
women prefer colognes and toilet
waters for warm weather because
they're cooler, fresher. A brand
new double strength cologne, not
quite as strong as perfume, but
more potent and persistent than
toilet water, Is a fine compromise.
1t comes in several scents, but our

GRANGE. 1t keeps reminding us OF
popular favorite that is now hard
to get-and will keep reminding
mother Of you. We can't think Of
anything nicer to lay on the altar
Of maternal love-especially since
the large bottle is a handsome
thing with glass stopper which
comes packaged in green foil box.
All in all, it has the look Of a Very
Big gift.
If she's a giddy young mama
who's still interested in Big Dates
and Fun Gn which case a doting
young daddy will probably do the
buying she'll be delighted with a
bottle of perfume specifically de-
signed to intrigue a Man. The ef-
feet, they say, is Intoxicating
which fact inspired the name.
She'll like, too, the tall bottle in
smart modern box done in sharp
yellow and black.
| SacnetS are q gut you might
not have thought Of. Especially
nice are the sleek satin pillows put
out by a perfumer who does floral
fragrances with enchantment.
Carnations-with their fresh spicy
scent-are always appropriate for
Mothers Day-and especially ap-
pealing done up with satin ribbon
and sprig Of flowers on top. Or
if Dad still refers to her as his
bride-she might prefer the scent
Of lilies Of the valley to keep men,
cries fresh. In the same scents
you can also buy big boxes Of bath
powder, each topped with a lovely
clump Of flowers she'll probably pin
on her shoulder. For the mother
who'd enjoy a touch Of whimsy
there's a little satin sachet horse
carrying on its side a vial of per-
fune and a miniature floral token.

CARE OF DUCKS.
From Mrs. M. B.,
Tdkontu Park, Md. J

For Mrs. F. w. H., Vienna, Va:
In response to your inquiry as to
the care of ducks, I thought might
be of little help. At one time we
had a good many ducks and we
learned some things about their care
which we might otherwise not have
known.
The baby ducks should not have
access to water to swim in until
they are perhaps a third grown
because they don't have the wing
feathers which later develop and
keep their bodies from chilling OF
course water seems their natural
element always, but they will chill
and die if they are allowed it when
babies.
They cannot eat the same food
as chickens. In fact it is very hard
for them to scoop up with their
wide, blunt bills, the chick scratch
feed. which chickens readily pick UP
When they are older they can easily
pick whole corn, that is, much older
perhaps almost grown.
Outside, entirely of that, you will
find they enjoy and can easily
scoop up wet mash, not sloppy
but mixed with either milk or water
to make it wet. They do not get any
good out of dry mash, but only waste
it. If you have some old whole wheat
bread. it would be excellent to soaE
it and mix with the dry mash.
6n rof tbinl white brood ic oooC
for them, but old cornmeal, whole
wheat or rye bread would be fine
I have SO much enjoyed observ-
ing our ducks, which were, wher
grown, allowed to run around anc
had access to a small stream. Have
often said I could write a book about
two pet ducks I had for so long-a
male and a fernale-but which I had
to part with on moving.
