+ A GOOD THING to remember—even on a lazy Sunday afternoon when you have plenty of time —i8 to keep quiet if you don’t know what you're talking about. That adage covers a lot of subjects, most of all hunting, I don’t know how you feel about small game hunting. That's your business, and if you want to listen, OK. There are a few things I want to get off my chest, . : ; * Most outdoor men know, for instance (so do their wives), that you can't talk eye-to-eye about hunting with the indoor man, the shelf builder,

up, too. And the fires of righteous indignation burn the brightest when an armchair Joe, who couldn't

and a Hungarian goulash, squeals: “You can get rabbit at any meat market for 85¢. Why et up in the middle of the night, freeze yourself ' f to death, wear yourself out and maybe not shoot a thing?” Cost, cost, always cost when it applies to someone else's sport. You don't measure hunting sr any pursuit of relaxation by the cost. What yor, get from a particular activity is the thing that counts. =

What's $100, Anyway? I'LL READILY admit the initial cost is sometimes surprising. So a good shotgun costs in the neighborhood of $100. Any hour of the day, any day in the week, you can sell a good shotgun and get your money back, That's something a phelf-builder doesn't understand. Bure, boots may cost you $20. What's more important, money or your health? Wool socks? Practically nothing. Hunting coat and pants—$20 to $25. Shells aren't too expensive. A box of 24 for $2 to $2.50. A wool shirt (excellent for family picnics late in the fall) can be picked up anywhere for $7.50 Another sore point with a real outdoor man is when aspersions are cast upon his best friend, his dog. The man or Woman who would make an issue over a rabbit dog that might cost a mere $50 is nothing less than a cad. There's nothing quite like a cornfield or a wheatfield at dawn. Any hunter will tell you that. It's healthful, too. “Early to bed and early to rise.” Remember? I also know what the non-hunter is thinking behind that smirk. He's thinking—it gets awful cold in a cornfield at dawn, The real hunter is dressed for it, chum. I'd not denying it gets cold.

“I'm merely.denying that the cold ever caused a

man more than three or four hours of unbearable

time or another during his lifetime should take a crack at duck-hunting. That's a sport that really tests the mettle. That's the sport that's teally fun. For instance, instead of getting up an hour before daylight, as you do for rabbits, you get up three and four hours before dawn. Sometimes you don’t go to bed at all.

Whisky Tester

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16—All ‘morning I tested Scotch whisky made to order in a graduated

beaker by a chemist sitting on-a-red-sofa.in

Room 754.0f the Mayflower Hotel. He also made some Canadian whisky in the same utensils. I, tested that, too. I only hope this dispatch won't sound too sonfused. What's happening is that the American whisky distillers are converging upon Washington. with blood in their eyes. When they make a jug of whisky they've got to tell exactly what they put Into it and when. The Scotchmen and the Canadians don’t. The Americans claim this fsn't fair, If they've got to tell the truth and (more important) all the truth about the contents of their bottles, Ren 80 should-the- foralgnera. ru So I wandered Into Room 754, headquarters of A. P. Fenderson, youthful (he's 34) vice president of the Kinsey Distilling Corp., Philadelphid, for. an earful on what ought to go into whisky potties. I had no intention of getting a skinful. Mr. Fenderson introduced me to John McCabe, his scholarly-looking chief scientist, who sat on that couch fiddling with an assortment of bottles ‘and test tubes on the coffee table. So Fenderson went on to say that most Scotch

seemed to be made of about 15 per cent malt

‘ By ROBERT O. RUARK NEW YORK, Oct. 18 — The malevolence of the' inanimate

on a day when the stars are

crossed and the planets spin

backward, has always appalled me. I have seen a mantelpiece deliberately reach out and strike an innocent bystander on the temple.

The eggs burn, the stove

. catches fire, the plumbing goes | on the bum, and every rug is a

booby-trap. You bust your knuckles on the ice tray, and all the fuses give a tired wheeze and blow, When I got up, the other day, the first thing the bed did was

bite me on the shin. I could.

have told you then that I would slash a rasher off my upper lip shiaving, and that the coffee would scald my tongue. That was the day I missed the airplane by one minute, went off without keys, and forgot my wallet. Had I attempted suicide, the rope would have snapped.

SOME PEOPLE seem espe-

‘cially tallored for catastrophe

at the spiteful hands of the machine, I am one of them, and a big ol' beautiful gal named Peggy Lee is another, Miss Lee cannot cross a room without sprawling full length into the baleful bric-a-brac. Rugs leap at her legs and trip her. If she sits on a chair, it collapses. The first time she ever met her husband, she tripped, trod his corns, and buried her snubby nose in the carpet at his feet. - Peggy Is the girl who afflicted us with a song called “Manana,” and who sings as pretty as she looks. She may be the opium of the juke-box addicts, but to Ber friends she is just a menace to the furniture, . ~ .

ONCE, in a vital public ap-

pearance, Peggy stalked down a flight of stairs, stepped on her dress, and walked right through the dress. She was singing with Benny Goodman, one time, and

a musician snaked a chair from

When the first slivers of breaking day or sleet hit you in the puss, you Should be in the duck blind. By that time you probably have rowed two miles in bitter cold, spent from a half to a full hour setting out the decoys, chipped the ice from the boat three times and swore you'd bring a duck home for dinner if that was the last thing you'd do. Sometimes it is.

It Builds Up Your Resistance

DO YOU ever hear a duck hunter complain? No. There's a soothing auality to the nerves about roughing it that can't be beat. The fingers may be trozen stiff; the toes may be black and blue,

but there aren't any taut muscles after a day in

the open. I'd like to see the statistics on how many, hunters have cashed in their chips as a direct result of pneumonia, grippe and frost hite contracted from hunting Mother Nature, so I'd be Yiee to bet a box of shells there se tymenys thapding builds, 80 hat if duc ar markets?
