—Let's Go Fishing— ANGLERS FLOCK TO STORES AS SEASON NEARS Call of Tackle Box Heard by Scores of Fishermen. BY GEORGE DENNY (Pinch Hitting for Lett, Lee) Fishermen, the most optimistic people in the world, are beginning to perk up and take notice again. It doesn't take much to awaken the old urge. The first robin, the first warm day, a brisk March wind, in fact any hint of spring, and the fever is on them. What if there is still snow on the north slopes? Ten to one you've been slowing up as you cross Fall creek or White river to see if the water is clear. These are the days when your fishing partner, an otherwise sane and responsible citizen, loiters in front of sporting goods store windows. You recognize and respect that far-away gleam in his eye. Don't disturb his reverie. He's thinking of the big small-mouth 'that long, anyhowj that broke the leader last fall in the pool above the bridge in Cicero creek. Time for Tackle He's wondering if that tough old battler is still there. He is renewing his solemn vow never to trust an old and frayed leader. He is resolving to get out the tackle box this very night and oil the reels and test the lines and scrutinize the rods for cracks in the varnish and defects in the guides and silk windings. He is thinking that he had better step into the store right now and get a few leaders. Can't tell, maybe next Sunday will be warm and clear so that he can slip up to the pool for a few hours. There may be ice around the edges, and it s a bit early for artificial bates, but a fat minnow cast into the head of the pool and allowed to drift down between those two big boulders might interest that bass. Better take some nightcrawlers, too. So he steps into the store to get the leaders and you take his place at the window. It’s a tempting display. The usual lot of new gadgets this year, shiny lures that look like sure killers. “Won’t Be Long” That five-ounce, nine-foot rod reminds you that you really must give j fly fishing a try. You've been mean- : ing to for several seasons, and now j that times are better, a modest in- ' vestment in the necessary equip- ; ment might be arranged. It's hard to see how anything i could be more sport than a three- j pounder on your light casting rod. but a number of your friends have been experimenting with the fly tackle and are enthusiastic. So you go in the store, just look around, of course, and your friend who has picked out his leaders, pounces on you with a glad cry. “It won't be long now,” he announces. and before you finish making plans for the season, it is long past the lunch hour. You know how it is? You’re darn right you do, or you are no fisherman. ALIENISTS' REPORT IS DUE IN MATHERS CASE Doctors to Report Findings in Sanity Study This Week. Dr. E.

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years, and calomels oldtime enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid l*vers. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel. just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative safe and pleasant. No griping is the "keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-col-ored tablets. They help cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action.

YOUNG BANDIT 1$ FOILED BY ELDERLY PAIR •Bad Loses Revolver in Wrestling Match, Leaps Through Window. A youthful "bad man” was outmaneuvered by two elderly men last night. The bandit, who forced his way into the home of George H. Coffee, of 529 East Twelfth street, lost his gun in an impromptu wrestling match and jumped out the window in headlong flight as Fred Kettler, 76, came to the aid of Mr. Coffee. In the prescribed manner of “bold bandits,’ the criminal wore a handerkchief as a mask and held a revolver. He demanded, "Give me what money you’ve got.” Mr. Coffee handed ever $lO, but when the bandit asked for more, the indignant victim tacked the bad man and snatched the revolver. When Mr. Kettler, brother-in-law to Mr. Coffee, entered the scene, it was too much for the desperado. As his antogonists hastened after him, the bandit barricaded himself in the kitchen, smashed the window with a chair and jumped out.

PROPOSED DILLINGER FILM STIRS STORM OF PRESS CRITICISM

By Timm Special HOLLYWOOD. Cal., March 13. —Few pictures have kicked up such a flurry of criticism among local writers as the picture Paramount is planning to make of John Dillinger. notorious Indiana desperado. No sooner had the studio passed out announcements that the scenario would depict Dillmger both as “a hero and heavy" than the storm broxe. The story was written before Dillinger broke jail at Crown Point, but by a coincidence calls for the character to escape. The writers are denouncing the studio for “glorifying" slich a criminal, and some even have suggested in their columns that the Will Hayes office intervene.
