delicious. Formerly gar was con-
lsidered excellent hog food. A large
alligator gar was caught on a strong
clothes line. A mule tied to the
free end pulled the fish to the pig
pen.
/ Gar are slow growers, long-lived
and very large. Though they are a
menace to other fish and they make
great holes in fishing nets, the mar
ket price for gar at the present
time offsets losses. With refrigera-
ton and transportation facilities
gar fillets smoked and wrapped fol

Alligator Gar.

Fishing for the ugly, alligator gar,
the well-know predator, is big-game
fishing with several surprises await
ing you. These large fish are estab-
lished in most of the rivers that
flow into the Gulf of Mexico, and
in the Gulf itself around the mouth
of these rivers. Alligator gar can
live in fresh water as easily as IN
salt water. They are abundant in
the Mississippi, especially its trib-
,utaries and bayous. They prefer to
remain no farther north than St.
Louis. In southern waters when the
temperature goes low. the gar be-
comes sluggish.
Most of the time they live in
schools. Their air bladder serves
as a rudimentary lung, permitting
the gar to live whole day out of
water.
The gar takes bait hatwise. When
the torpedo-shaped monster mouths
the bait with unhurried action, let
him alone for three times as long as
you humor a sailf1sh. Then stand
up in your boat and give a mighty
swish. If you make contact, you
are likely to have SO to 200 pound
er, 10 to IL feet long to fight. The
shared gar rolls over and over like
a log, breaks water. often makes q
spectacular leap, then appears to
submit to his fate. He is only TAX
ing breather to begin all over
with extra vim and vigor. A strong
man can only land three gar in one
day.

target must be an area about the

historic brow, miss that and you
may as well have fired at the tail

The Travellers Notebook
Rail Ticket Bargain Ends Wednesday Midnight

Vacationers who are toying with
the idea of a winter trip into such
favored resort areas as the Caro-
linas, Georgia. Florida and Louisi-
ana have an opportunity for
bargain by acting early this week
About 10 per cent of the cost OF
rail transportation on three major
lines serving the Southeast from
Washington can be saved by in
vesting in a ticket now. The bar
gain sale" ends at midnight We'd
nesday.
No one. least of all the rail-
roads themselves. is promoting the
price advantage by admonitions of
Hurry, Hurry. Hurry!" In a way,
they stand to lose. But travellers
who recall similar situations in
the past are creating a mild buy
ing spree at ticket Offices along
the Eastern Seaboard.
The bargain stems from the re-
cent authorization by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission Of a
Southeastern region rate increase,
effective November /. Roughly, it
amounts to 10 per cent. Tickets
can be bought now at the pread-
vance rate that will be valid into
April. Round-trip tickets are good
for six months; one way, 80 days.
PullmanS Unaffected - Pullman
rates are not being advanced at
this time, so there is no immediate
need of arranging these accom-
modations on a precise date. That
decision can be postponed. How
ever. the price Of first-class rail
tickets, emitting one to buy Pull
man space, will be advanced. along
with coach fares. The nominal
service charge for reserving seats
in streamlined coaches is to re-
main the same.
Southern, Seaboard and At
lantic Coast Line are the three
major roads serving the South
from Washington that will raise
the rates. The Richmond. Fred
|ericksburg g. Potomac Railroad
operating mainline trains of Its
own as far south as Richmond
Va, also will boost its fares by
the same percentage.

Today's Prices-Here are some
sample fares that will prevail only
Through Wednesday. They are pre-
scented so the individual can figure
out the saving in dollars by buy
ing now. The Federal tax of Is
per cent on the transportation
cost is included in the quotations:
Miami. Fla. First class. one
way, $46.55; round trip. $83.84;
coach fare. one way. $32.35; round
trip. $58.25. New Orleans-First
class. one way. $45.63; round trip,
$82.17; coach fare. one way. $32.57;
round trip. 1885. Adding 10 per
cent to these figures approximates
the fares going into effect Thurs
day.
Railroadmen are understand
ably reluctant to push the sale Of
tickets at the preadvance rate
available through Wednesday. But
one Washington railroad official
pointed out in a side remark that
rail tickets often are bought in
the fall by early Christmas-gift
shoppers. He didn't say that they
would be thrifty to buy the six
month tickets Immediately. and
present them at Christmas for use
still later. He left that for them
to figure out.
Gas Rationing?-"At the pres

record in travel for 1851, when the

with further comment by Mr..

that he doubts the mobilization

number of new schools that can
be built and appears to have in
terfered with expansion of the
oil industry to keep up with de-
mands expected by 1858.
The latest Holiday News Letter
points out that the travel industry
has an active interest in the Nat
ional Production Authority's al
location Of steel for the Oil indus
try, and sums up a survey in in

that reduction in supplies of this
metal "for use in expanding capa-

"At the moment" the letter
adds. gasoline stocks are at a
good level and. unless the Nation
suddenly becomes involved in a
major war. there is little or no
chance that rationing will be
necessary for at least six or eight
months"
/ Motoring Hazard-Beautiful as
they are. the varicolored leaves of
fall should inspire caution in
driving. according to Walter w.
Hubbard, editor of the AAA'sI
American Motorist magazine. On
hard-surfaced roads, they can
produce a quick and disastrous
skid. he warns.
Because these damp leaves
neither adhere to the tire tread
nor the road surface. there is a
lack of traction and grave danger
of skidding," he says. And skid
ding on a two or three lane road,
especially if it is crowned for
drainage. can be a serious threat
to all motor vehicles using the
traffic artery, in either direction.
The AAA club representative
also warned drivers to watch out
for coatings of frost on the high
ways, particularly in the mornings
