We looked into the matter yester
day. It was somewhat confusing.
Our idea was just to get a ticket
to Cos Cob. We walked up to the
information booth. It was pretty
crowded. A young lady wanted to
know what time she could catch
the “Bali Ha’i.” Another wanted
to know how much time there was
between the express to Utica and
“Strummin, On the Old Banjo.”
“What time does the local to
Cos Cob leave?” we asked.
“Let’s Take an Old-Fashioned
Walk.” was all we got in response.
“Cos Cob.” we repeated.
“tiiMaggio just hit a homer with
the bases full. Baby, ‘It’s Cold Out
side is up next,’ ” came to us in
loud tones.
"Listen, mister," we shouted at
the information man.
“We haven’t got that,” he re
plied.
“Haven’t got what?”
“ The Wedding of LUi Mar
lene.’ ” he answered. ‘The four
winds and the seven seas on track

Here everything was drowned
out by an argument be
tween a station attendant and
a woman toting two suitcases
and a harp. She said a porter
had refused to carry her bags
as he had never heard her on
the Hit Parade.
* • •
Both were shoved aside by a
cop with a loud cry of “Aw, shut
up! I wanna hear ‘Room Full of
Roses!’ "
We finally got the information
clerk’s attention and repeated “Cos
Cob. What time?”
"Is that by Perry Como or Tony
Martin?” he asked.
“It’s by Mamaroneck,” w e
snapped.
“That’s funny. Mamaroneck isn’t
scheduled today. Would you like to
hear how the Yanks made out?”
We gave up and tottered around
until we found the Cos Cob track.
But the trainmen wouldn’t open
the door. They r/ere all listening
to “Some Enchanted Evening,” no
dining car, first stop Stamford, has
grill car only.

FATHER AND SON
“Popper, what is that money
conference in Washington all
about?”
“Oh, it’s some sort of huddle
about British money and ours.
Shouldn’t you be out playing ball?”
“Is there a dollar shortage in
Europe, popper?”
’There is a dollar shortage
everywhere, and even you kids
had better begin realizing it.”
• • »
“How can the British have a
dollar shortage? They use
pounds, not dollars.”
“They have to have a re
serve of dollars for converti
bility in world trade.”
“But how did they get short
of dollars in the reserve, pop
per?”
“Our dollar is worth so much
more that is was in greater de
mand, I guess, or something.
Here’s your bat.”
“But who demands Ameri
can dollars?”
“Who doesn’t!”
• • •
“Is there an American dollar
shortage?”
“If you had to fill a gas tank,
pay the house bills, go to a musi
cal, o^der a steak dinner or two
or hire a plumber these days you
would not ask such a foolish ques
tion, my son.”
"Why is nothing said about an
American shortage of dollars?”
“Because Americans think if
they have five dollars that will buy
only what one buck would once
buy they are away out ahead of
the game. I hear the Jones boy
whistling for you.”
“Why must England and Canada
and America have different mon
ey? Why can’t we all get together
on one type of money?"
“It would throw too many book
keepers, accountants, jugglers and
mathematical wizzards, out of
steady employment, my son."

N O ONE had much faith in the
new sheriff. The night preced
ing the day of his arrival the
ranchers of the Roaring River
Valley held a meeting in the Para
dise Saloon. Mark Raoul, largest
cattle owner in
the vicinity, was
the spokesman.
“No u se in
exp e c t i n’ re
sults from this
young deputy they’re sending up
from the county seat. He’s a west
erner with eastern ideas an’ a col
lege education. Probably got a
head full of new fangled notions on
how to run down a bunch of Ari
zona cattle rustlers. Thing for us
to do is organize a vigilante group
on our own, and wipe them there
cattle thieves off the face of the
map.”
“How we gonna do that,” Rex
Rupert wanted to know, “when we
ain’t got a notion where the rust
lers is takin’ our cattle?”
“We got as good a notion,”
Mark shot at him, "as any
smart young deputy sheriff
what aint dry behind the ears
yet.”
Vic Stuart, redheaded, freckled,
blue-eyed and friendly, arrived the
next morning and announced him
self to be the new deputy assigned
to the Roaring River Valley cattle
rustling business. Rex Rupert, self-
appointed committee of welcome,
looked the youth over and decided
the ranchers had been smart in
postponing their vigilante organiza
tion. But Rex betrayed none of the
confidence he felt when he ex
plained the circumstances.
Vic listene-1 and smiled and
his bine eyes crinkled at the
corners. “Natural,” he said,
“for Raoul to feel that way.
Fact is I have got some new
fangled ideas. It takes brains
to beat a bunch of outlaws
these days, whether they’re
stealing cattle or operating a
racket.”
Rex’s thoughts were rather glum
as he rode back to the ranch.
About midday of the next day Vic
Stuart rode in just as Rex finished
his lunch.
“How many armed men can you
provide me?” the youth asked
shortly.
Rex stared. "You ain’t found the
rustlers’ roost?”
“That was easy. Thing to do
now is scare up enough men to
take care of the rustlers, who
are at the present moment en
gaged in branding your stolen
cattle.”
Vic Stuart led them to a section
of country familiar to them all; the
hopes that Rex had entertained be
gan to ebb. Then suddenly they
burst out anew as Vic entered a
narrow canyon, the existence of
which was a surprise to everyone.
A moment later he pointed down
into a hidden vaUey where stood
a couple of rough shacks and an
astonishingly large herd of cattle.
R EX asked no question, but di
rected his men into a fan
shaped line, then ordered them to
move down the slope. The rustlers
were taken by surprise. They had
no idea as to the size of the at
tacking force, and after a desultory
attempt to fight off the invaders,
the main body broke and fled.
The big surprise of the affair
occurred when Vic Stuart rode
up with the masked leader of
the rustlers and, standing be
fore Rex and his riders, tore
off the leader’s mask, reveal
ing the snarling features of
Mark Raoul.
"Matter of brains,” Vic grinned.
"Funny thing it didn’t occur to any
of you hombres who’ve lived in this
country all your lives that even a
bunch of rustlers couldn’t camp
where there wasn’t water. Only
water hereabouts is the Roaring
River. That was the theory I went
on. I got myself a forked hazel
stick and used it to locate water
and to indicate the direction of the
source. Forked hazel sticks never
fail to indicate the presence of
water if held properly in the hands
of an expert.” His blue eyes
crinkled. “I reckon I’m an expert.”

PUZZLE qo. 19
How About It?
Can poisonous snakes poison
themselves by biting? Do horned
toads really squirt blood out of their
eyes? And is there a bird that can
fly backwards?
These are questions frequently
heard among outdoor men and here
are the answers:
Bravton Eddy, curator of reptiles
at the New York zoological society,
says that he personally saw a
rattler kill itself by its own bite,
even though the fangs did not pene
trate a vital organ. However, no
one seemed to know for sure if
a poisonous snake could commit
suicide by biting itself.
Horned toads really can squirt
blood from the eyelid near the edge
of the eye, but not from the eye it
self. This action is associated with
great fright and is not common.
As for the bird that can fly back
wards—nearly anyone could an
swer that if he’d stop and think
about it. Of course there is a bird
that can fly backwards. It is the
hummingbird.

Fish Where They -
Too many anglers never seem to
realize this incontestable fact: Fish
are caught in the water, not in the
air. So the longer the lure is kept
in the water, the more likely tile
chance of taking fish.
Despite this obvious fact, there
are myriad anglers who spend the
major portion of any trip to lake
or stream flaying the air with fly
line or plug, always trying to get

Popular Rod
The “Stubeaster,” shown
above. Is one of the fastest-
selling rods on the market. In
1948 It was accepted by more
than a quarter of a million
anglers. The “Stubeaster” with
its coil spring design gives to
this short, convenlent-to-pack
rod all the resiliency and tip
action of the longer, lighter
casting rods. The rod is manu
factured by Waltco Products,
of Chicago.

Tips for Boaters
Perhaps it isn’t too late to get in
these few tips for boaters. Boaters
are urged to show common courtesy
to fishermen and others who may
be using the same waters so that
excursions afloat will be pleasurable
for all.
Skippers of outboards and motor-
boats can avoid accidents and
trouble by observing these simple
rules which are set up under a
federal regulation pertaining to
outboard boating:
When meeting other boats, al
ways keep to the right. Yield the
right-of-way to the man on the
right Any boat that is being over
taken has the right-of-way. Always
yield the right-of-way to a boat
under sail or oars.
AAA
Stunted Fish
There are two schools of thought
regarding the causes of fish be
coming stunted. Nearly every
fresh-water angler knows waters
where trout, bullheads, perch, bass
or some other species run smaller
than the average.
To one school of thought the an
swer is “heredity,” and the intro
duction of new blood is urged. The
other school believes the answer is

Being in Love
Of Your
m m m ^ Intoxication
MIND
By Lawrence Gould
Are you happiest when you’re in love?
Answer: In a way, yes, but in
much the same sense as you might
be happier drunk than sober. For
in either case your happiness is
based on being able for the moment
to ignore the harsh facts of life.
When you’re in love and the feel
ing is reciprocated, you believe for
the time being that you can have
perfect happiness without having
to work for it or to adjust yourself
to the moods or needs of anyone
else, and, this rosy day-dream
makes you feel that the world is
your oyster. Realistic happiness is
not as thrilling, but it’s safer and
more lasting.
Will a normal man prefer his
parents to his wife?
Answer: No, not if he is really a
man—that is, if he has grown up
emotionally. Any adult who spends
more time with his parents than
with people of his own age shows
by that fact that he is emotionally
undeveloped and afraid of making
social contacts on an equal basis.
To retain your parents as your
favorite companions is like refus
ing to swim without “water wings,”
since their real attraction for you
is the feeling that they will not "let
you down,” whatever happens. A
man whose first loyalty is not to
his wife is simply hot a husband.
Can early “conditioning”
be undone?
Answer: Never entirely. No mat
ter what happens to you after you
grow up, you will not be the sort
of person that you might have been
if you had had different parents
and a different kind of home life.
But all of us have inherent possibili
ties which bad treatment and mis-
education cannot wholly destroy
and you can be helped to ov- '•coma
the fears and inhibitions thet keep
you frem making the most of these
possibilities. Few, if any, people
can’t be helped by psychiatric treat
ment to learn to enjoy a normal
love life and a happy marriage.

KEEPING HEALTHY
Overcoming Sensitivity to Sun's Rays
By Dr. James W. Barton
A TEEN-AGE GIRL, fond of
athletics including swimming,
found that just a few minutes of
sun caused irritation of the skin
and the formation of hives (urti
caria). Everf after the hives disap
peared the intense itching remained
for several days. It is now known
that a method of preventing the
hives and itching in these cases of
sun or solar urticaria has been
found.
In the “Journal of Investigative
Dermatology,” Baltimore, Dr. P.
L. Beal says that in solar urticaria,
a brief exposure of the skin is fol
lowed in a few minutes by develop
ment of intense itching and red
ness at exactly the place on the
skin exposed to the sun’s rays. A
few minutes later small patches
of wheals (lumps) join together to
form one large hive in the exposed
skin. As this large water-filled hive
enlarges, a redness appears about
it in the skin that was not exposed
to the sun. According to the ex
tensity of exposure, it lasts from
half an hour to several hours.
Dr. Beal presents a study made
on two patients with solar urti
caria. Both were women, aged 42
and 30. The sensitivity of their skin
to the sun’s rays was established
by use of glass filters and mono
chromator which transmits radiant
energy. It was between 2,967 and
3,347 angstrom units.
This sensitivity could be passive
ly transferred by injecting the
patient’s serum (liquid part of
blood) into the skin of normal per
sons and irradiating the spot on
the skin where serum w£s injected
with the active wave lengths.
Antibistaminic drugs (adrenalin,
benadryl, peribenzadrine and oth
ers) were found to be protective
against the urticarial reaction
(formation of hives). By virtue of
this protective action it was possi
ble to subject these patients to
gradually increasing ultraviolet ex
posure.
Eventually the skin acquired
enough tolerance to the active wave
lengths and it was possible to dis
continue the use of the antihista-
minic substances. It is the hista
mine manufactured in the body it
self that causes allergy in certain
individuals, perhaps 10 to 20 per
cent of the population.
