Pass The Hens
“The only real duck factory on
earth is the hen duck.”
This is a slogan advanced by an
80-year*old California sportsman
who is carrying on a one-man cam
paign aimed at educating hunters
to pass up hen ducks and to bring
only drakes to bag, the Wildlife
Management Institute' reports.
I H. H. McCumber of 2321 High
bury Avenue, Los Angeles, who re
cently placed his gun in the rack
for the last time after more than
80 years of wildfowling, believes
that both hunters and the ducks
will benefit from the selective type
of shooting which he suggests. In
these days of reduced bags, the
sportsman, on a good flight day,
might fill his limit within the open-
, tag hour. By following the advice
of Mr. McCumber, his shooting day
could be lengthened proportionate
ly.
Biologically, with most of the
popular waterfowl species in which
the sex of individual birds may be
distinguished on the wing, the idea
makes sense. H. Albert Hochbaum
in his prize-winning “The Canvas-
back on a Prairie Marsh,” an in
tensive study of breeding water-
fowl in Canada, observes that dur
ing the Jater days of the season,
drakes on some marshes may out
number hens by as many as twelve
or more to one. Similar observa
tions have been made by other
competent biologists. Since ducks
pair off in a fifty-fifty sex ratio at
mating time, a large number of
drakes contribute little to the next
fall’s hunting crop. Although re
search workers believe that some
extra drakes may be necessary to
insure successful renesting if first
attempts by the hens are unsuc
cessful, a disproportionate number
of drakes, in some species, seem to
be unproductive. As a readily rec
ognized surplus they may be har
vested selectively without cutting
appreciably into the breeding stock.
To paraphrase Mr. McCumber’s
philosophy: It is possible, by pass
ing up the hens, to save the ducks
and hunt them, too.

Why Camouflage Works
Perk Angwin, New England out
door writer, contributes a bit of
prose for possible use by his broth
er craftsmen, as follows:
“A number t>f fishermen have
asked us why we favor camou
flaged lines and leaders as against
natural ones. It seems that some
“experts” tell ’em that the natural
leaders show less from the angle
a fish sees ’em. Where any fishing
editor could get such an idea is a
mystery. How often does a fish
take a fly or lure from directly
underneath where he sees the line
or leader against the sky? Doggone
seldom.
“A fish hits from all angles,
from the sides and above as well
as below on sunken flies and lures.
He doesn’t always see a dry fly
against the sky background. More
often it is the case that the leader
Is in line with trees or brush. The
camouflage types break up against
this background and the fish are
less apt to shy off.
“In a recent fishing contest in
Maine we had a good example of
what happens. Using a Cam-O-
Flage monofil line for trolling, s we
took Salmon after salmon. A com
panion ta the same boat used the
conventional blue line and a clear
leader. He got pretzels. We could
switch implements and the fish
stiU hit the lure attached to the
camouflage and ignored the other.
It was evident they were seeing
the leader and the line since every
thing else, including the depth
fished, was equal.
“By all means use camouflaged
lines and leaders when you can
get them.” N

Works Sometimes
1 It is the natural inclination of a
'fisherman to desert immediately
-any pool invaded by swimmers and
( to shy away from water frequented
•by swimmers. But, sometimes, as
■is the cnse in many exceptions, fish
can be taken from pools where
swimmers actually are cavorting.
, We have ta mind an incident where
an angler came upon a pool where
swimmers were active, but the op
posite shoreline looked so inviting
that he couldn’t resist tossing a
plug under an overhanging branch.
The plug had hardly alighted
when he was fast to a smallmouth
bass that later weighed in at slight
ly more than two pounds. This isn’t
an urging for anglers to fish swim
ming waters, it’s just trotted out for
whatever it may contribute to the
mpredictable habits of bass.

Pop-Eyed Cattish
A Mr. S. Bellmon, 228 North Pearl
At., Albany, N.Y., was fishing for
catfish ta the Hudson river at the'
Port of Albany. Hudson river cat
fish resemble bullheads, but have
a forked tail. Their eyes are usual
ly small, but what Mr. Bellmon
pulled ta looked more like a frog
than a catfish—it had eyes as big
as a nickel. Although possibly blind
from this abnormality, the fish
didn't seem to mind, as It was ta
excellent condition.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Policy Largely Based on Theory
Expressed in U.S. Constitution
This Is the third of a series of six
articles on the state department and
its personnel as written by Walter
A. Shead, Western Newspaper Union’s
Washington correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The for
eign policy of the United States
government is based largely upon
the theory of government as ex
pressed in our own constitution and
declaration of independence.
Someone once said: “The United
States was born fighting for free
dom and will die if it ever gives up
the fight for freedom and liberty.”
But at the same time it was
Grover Cleveland, in reversing his
stand upon a given subject, who
said: “Gentlemen, we are faced
with a condition, not a theory.”
And so theoretically, although the
foreign policy of this government
during the Roosevelt area was pred
icated upon his “four freedoms,”
and, since the Truman administra
tion, has been based upon the pro
nouncements of Harry S. Truman,
conditions often cause an about-
face in our short range policy, but
do not change the overall objectives.
The American citizen has only to
go back to the inaugural address of
President Truman on January 20,
1949, to learn our stated foreign
policy. Here it is:
“In the coming years our pro
gram for peace and freedom will
emphasize four major courses of
action.
“First. We will continue to give
unfaltering support to the United
Nations and related agencies and
we will continue our search for
ways to strengthen their - authority
and increase their effectiveness.
“Second. We will continue our
program for world economic re
covery.

R alph edwards, who now is
back at CBS, where he began
as an announcer, unexpectedly had
the time of his life ta Paris and
London this summer. During his
“Truth or Consequences” vacation
he had arranged to take his staff
to Germany to entertain the Amer
ican troops there. He and Mrs.
Edwards were on the high seas
when the Korean situation broke;
arriving in London, they learned
that the trip was off. So they settled
down to have fun. The only thing
that spoiled it for him was that his
staff had been so disappointed.
Seen in New York on his way home,
Ralph was bubbling with enthus
iasm over the trip, and over get
ting back to work.
The bobby soxers who followed
John Derek to various location sites
for “The Hero” were hired as root
ers for the football scenes; they
discovered Derek playing football
for the picture at Pomona College,
tagged along when he went to the
Rose Bowl. They were so enthu
siastic that Director David Miller
and Producer Buddy Adler thought
it a waste of talent not to hire
them.

“Fourth. We must embark on a

e o e
THAT IS THE whole theory 'of
our foreign policy. But conditions
have intervened. In World War II
our principal allies were the United
Kingdom, Russia, China and
France. Both England and France
have been hard hit, all but knocked
out economically. Both are on the
road to recovery with our help.
The Nationalist government of
China is now virtually ta exile on
Formosa. Russia adopted a course
to conquer the world through the
infiltration of atheistic commu
nism, through deceit, fraud and
open aggression ta Korea.
Our foreign policy and our ef
forts toward the freedom loving
peoples of the world now have be
come world wide as the only strong
nation powerful enough to with
stand the Russian bear. We have
sought common security in the North
Atlantic pact. We have held Japan.
The American people ta the past
have not been internationally mind
ed. When we have been drawn into
armed conflict it has been our pol
icy to knock out our opponent and
then consider the job done, go
home, break training and enjoy
ourselves. As a result, that explains
the wisecrack that the United
States has never lost a war nor
won a peace. We have been loath
to engage in the political battles
which inevitably and probably
more importantly follow military
victories.
In Korea our policy was set by
the United Nations. We occupied
that unhappy country south of the
38th parallel long enough to set up
a free and independent government.
Then we withdrew our army of
occupation as per our commitment
and promise.
Our specific foreign policy ta this
hemisphere and in other nations
will be discussed in a later article.

DILEMMA
By Richard H. Wilkinson
S USUAL Basil came home on
the 5:35. It was after dark when
he arrived ta front of his house on
High street. About
to turn ta at the
g a t e he stopped
dead still, his
eyes fastened on
the automobile that was parked ta
front of the water hydrant at the
curb. A slow but rapidly mounting
anger took hold of him.
The automobile was his, and he
knew that his wife had left it ta
front of the hydrant. She had left
it there despite his repeated warn
ings and threats and cajolings and
promises. Three times Pat Kearney,
the officer on their beat, had spoken
to him about the misdemeanor.
“Now, ‘Mr. Valentine, sur. I’ll be,
stickin’ a tag on that car of yourn,
if you go an leave it before that
hydrant once more.”
Pat’s good will was valuable. Be
sides, Basil couldn’t afford to be
tagged. Even a small fine would be
sorely felt. And so he had talked to
Evelyn, He had pointed out the im
portance of obeying traffic regula
tions, his inability to pay fines for
her negligence, the fact that Pat
had spoken to him three times. And
she had promised. Even though it
was the “most convenient place ta
the world to leave the car” and she
thought Pat Kearney was an “old
meany,” she promised to be more
careful hereafter.
An ides flashed across his
mind. He’d move the car down

By BILLY ROSE
The other day I got the following letter from a lady who is con
valescing in a Montreal hospital:
Dear Mr. Rose:
Three weeks ago I was operated on for a leg Infection, and since then
I’ve been taking it easy, a little too sick to leave the hospital and a little
too well to keep from having the fidgets. Consequently, I’ve been some
thing of a busybody, wandering around rooms and corridors and passing
the time of day with other patients. During my wheelchair travels I
happened to come across a story which you might like to use ta your
column.
It has to do with a black lace
negligee that I got for Christmas a
couple of years ago—one of those
lovely bits of peek-
a-boo that every
woman adores. Un
fortunately, how
ever, I’m more
the pajama type,
and so ever since
I got it it’s been
packed away ta a
bureau drawer.
When I was
rushed to the hos
pital last month,
my sister stuffed
everything that looked like bed-ap
parel into a valise and brought it
around to my room, and sure
enough, on top was the negligee.
And sure enough again, it went
right back into a bureau, this time
a white one.
ward the heart. And as If that
weren’t enough trouble, shortly
after the woman had checked into
the hospital her husband had been
badly hurt ta an auto crash—he had
driven his car head-on into a truck
which was parked without lights.
Last week when the paralysis
got up to within inches of Mrs.
Benoise's heart the doctors de
cided to let the couple see each
other for that would probably* be
the last time. 1 was in Mrs. Ben
oise's room when they told her
about the visit, but instead of
pepping her up it seemed to make
her more miserable than ever.
When l asked her what was the
matter, she said it was probably
silly but she knew she looked a
sight and she hated for her bus-
band to see her in hospital clothes
with her hair and face not fixed.
I had a talk with the nurse, and
with the permission of the doctor
we brushed back Mrs. Benoise’s
hair and put some make-up on her
face, and for a final touch I got
out my black lace negligee and slit
it up the back so we could put it
on her without having to move her
around. And I’m not exaggerating
when I say that when the dying
woman saw herself ta a mirror she
looked happy for the first time ta
weeks.
OF COURSE, we all skedaddled
when her husband was wheeled in,
his head bandaged and most of his
body ta a cast. And a couple of
hours later the doctor came and
told me that Mrs. Benoise wanted
to thank me for the use of the negli
gee. Well, she could hardly talk,
she was that excited. Her husband,
it seemed, had complimented her
on how lovely she looked and told
her that as soon as he got out of
the hospital he was going to buy
her a dozen negligees like the one
she was wearing. And just before
they wheeled him out he promised
her that he would be around the
next morning, and asked her to
please wear the negligee again.
He didn’t get back, however, be
cause that night Mrs. Benoise died,
and everything considered 1 guess
it was just as well.
Yesterday, when the doctor came
In to see me, we got to talking
about Mrs. Benoise.
n l’m glad l finally found some
me for that silly negligee," 1
said. "At least Mr. Benoise will
always remember how pretty bis
wife looked the last time be saw
her.”
"I bate to disappoint you,"
the doctor said, "but Mr. Benoise
couldn’t see her. He lost bis sight
in that car smash-up, and before
l brought him into bis wife's
room l carefully briefed him on
her make-up and bow she looked
in your negligee."
Anyway, that’s the way it hap
pened, Mr. Rose, and perhaps if
you shuffle the facts around a bit
it might make a story.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Ferguson.

Then he’d tell Evelyn that Pat
had tagged it and that because
he couldn’t pay the fine he’d
left the machine at police head
quarters for collateral. That
ought to teach her a thing or
two.
Grimly he stepped to the curb and
inserted his duplicate key into the
door lock. His anger was at a high
level; he gave the key a violent
twist—which snapped it off near the
stem.
He felt a little panicky. Somehow
he’d have to move the machine
from in front of the hydrant, or it
meant paying a fine. It would take
time to fetch a pair of pliers or
call a garage mechanic. And Pat
wouldn’t listen to explanations—not

just one course open. He’d have

gradually it dawned on him that
something was wrong. And then
abruptly it struck him like a bolt
from the blue. The license plate
wasn’t red and white, but orange
and black! Which meant that the
car that Basil was pushing wasn’t
his car at all! Though it resembled
his in every respect, it belonged to
some one else!
Basil straightened up. There was
alarm and guilt and fear ta his
eyes. Without further thought on
the matter, however, he started to
ward his own gate. But at the very
moment he would have unhooked
