"R0AD TO RIO" E RIOT OF LAUGHTER

Road to Rio,' the Paramount comedy which arrived last night at the 2Oth Century Theatre, is paved with blocks of solid belly laughs.
 The film is the newest of the highly successful Bing Croscy- Bob Hope-D or ot hy Lamour screen travels.
 In Road to Rio" Bing and Bob play a couple of down-at-the- heels musicians, cursed not only with unemployment but also with Bing's softness in the hands of women Bing's failing usually winds up as Bob's headache. and, after being run out of town after town, the boys stow away on a ship bound for Brazil.
 Before the liner docks in Rio, our good neighbor policy has al- ready taken a beating. Crosby and Hope meet up with Dorothy La mour. She's in trouble, and that means the boys have to get mixed up in it, too. And before they can rescue her from the clutches of an aunt with an evil eye, they have done everything up to and in cluding calling out the Brazilian cavalry led by Jerry Colonna.

Natures Children
BY LilIion Cox Athey

Croakers have an unusually long
spawning period-nine months on
the North Carolina coast. But the
major spawning activity occurs dur
ing the autumn and winter months
It has been estimated that q female
IL inches long deposits 10000 eggs.
The fry, after Matching, migrate
to warmer and more shallow bodies
of water to feed. The adults are
bottom feeders nosing out small
crustacea, immature stages of the
larger crabs, small mollusks, annelid
worms and such inhabitants Nof
muddy bottoms. The younger gen
eration feed on organisms at the
surface or where they can get it.
Within one year the young croak-
or has grown To hve and one half
inches after which 1t takes more
time. On the average you can guess
the age of an 11-inch croaker to be
four years old. When two years old,
the female produces her quota OF
eggs. The flesh Is coarse, not too
delicately favored, but. acceptable
so that the croaker is always in de-
mand at markets.
Croakers\ take the hook readily
and put up q fairly good fight. Use
O slight timber rod with stiffish
tip, a reel, q float and bait Of soft
crab or shrimp.

Croaker or Hardhead.

Few fishermen are not acquainted
with the croaker, protestor Of
note. Croakers range along the At
lantic coast from Cape Cod to Texas
and are OF commercial importance
from New Jersey to North Carolina.
The largest catch comes from Ches-
apeake Bay. From March until Oc-
tober, the croaker is most abundant
and a good haul is taken during the
winter so that croakers are in the
market most OF the year.
Boys tell me that the croaker
makes his noise by rattling stones in
his head. These so-called stones are
balancers or otoliths, which all fish
possess and could not swim without.
The noise is from the throat and
expulsion of air.
The largest croaker recorded
weighed slightly more than four
pounds. The average market size
is from one-haH to one and o half
pounds. a
Croakers are recognized by their
somewhat elongate, robust body with
compressed back. four barbels
swing from each side OF the lower
Jaw and there are small dark spots
arranged in distinct oblique rows
along the upper back. As the croak-
or grows older the spots fade.
