SpORTMANS CHRISTMAS
Women Buying Boating Gifts
l5s CHARLES COVELL
outdoor Editor

Recreation minded Christmas
shoppers are making the cash
registers in Washington area
sporting goods stores play a
happy tune.
There are no particular
trends. except perhaps to bet
ter grades of merchandise, and
no favoritism for any one sport
over another. AS one store put
1t, They're buying everything
from tennis balls to rifles"
Another retailer noted a
sharp demand for quality
goods. particularly outdoor
clothing. Too many buyers
were getting bilked," he. said.
He also reported a heavy in
crease In charge purchases.
Marine dealers are getting a
share. Here. too. the buyer is
seeking "a little bit of every
thing" One retailer reported a
big increase in women buyers.
Know More About Boats
Women know a lot more
about boating today" he said,
and are buying everything
from fancy lamps to electron-
les equipment. They also want
fishing gear. such as $40 rod
holders or $50 outriggerS."
What else are marine dealers
selling? Boating shoes. in can
vas or soft leather. are pop
ular. Starting at about $40 they
make very worthwhile gift.
Next to a life preserver and
fire extinguisher. this corner
recommends them as an i'm
portant safety factor. Boat
shoes have special soles that
grip slippery decks and prevent
nasty falls inside the cockpit
as we'll as over the side.
New Jackets Available
In the line of boating cloth
ing, there are new jackets of
sponge rubber that keep one
warm in zero weather as we'll
as being cool enough to wear
on a wet day in summer. They
sell for about $23 and trou-
sers also are available.
Compasses. horns and SINH
lar equipment are acceptable
if you know your boatman's
needs. One novel electronics
item is a ship-to-auto con-
verter that allows you to tune
IN marine bands on your car
radio. Thus you can find out
where the fish are biting or
what the winds will be like be-
fore you reach the bay. 1t sells
for $685..
Yacht chairs, books and
water skis are popular. Some
buyers are taking outboard mo-
tors home to put under the
tree on the promise that the
factory warranty won't start
until the motors go in the
water.
In the low priced bracket for
a yachting friend are jewelry.
pennants and perhaps a pair
of nautical salt and pepper
shakers.
Picking Outdoor Clothing
Some department stores as
we'll as sporting goods shops
sell outdoor clothing, particu-
larly thermal and the quilted,
insulated underwear. If you
have no experience along this
line, beware here of quality.

SHARPEN YOUR SWORDS.-One
very great absurdity attending the
hurrying of raw militiamen into actual
service is that the sabers. both of
officers on foot and even of cavalry
soldiers. are not Sharpened. A sword
blade not sharpened Is Of little more
use than a cudgel. The point is. of
course. its most deadly application, but
the edge is also terrible when accurately
applied. A saber blade should be made
very sharp for about Is to l8 inches on
the front edge. and for about inches OH
the back. E.
GunShot wounds are not painful i'm
mediately. but become so by inflam-
nation. Their treatment is first to
avoid collapse. and this is to be done
by encouraging language. and. If neces-
sary, a little stimulant, administered
with care. as it may increase the inflam-
nation. The next thing is to stop the
bleeding, by the application of pres
sure; the next to find out II any bone
Is broken. and If so. to steady it and
place it in natural and comfortable
position. After this a cold-water dress
ing may be applied. though many sur
geonS are in favor of a warm-water
fermentation; but we think their prac-
tice untenable. for cold water removes
inflammation by evaporation, and warm
water may impart heat, instead of re-
moving it. In the case Of a slight in
jury, cold-water dressings and rest of
the muscles will complete the cure.
