It's a fish story. "Let somebody trump this one," said Bill, passing it over. The letter: Dear Bill: The genial host of Willow Mill Inn. Dr. John C.

Cake, tells a fish story that takes first rank with that Ions; list of others that hare stirred up arguments from time to time. It seems that a lone fisherman was baring difficulty getting bait in the vicinity of Willow Mill Inn when Dr. Cake happened along. The fisherman had exhausted his worm supply and asked Dr. Cake where he eould dig some worms.

Before he rould reply a robin flying overhead dropped a perfectly good worm right at the feet of the fisherman. Dr. Cake, seising the opportunity, advised the fisherman that it wasn't necessary to dig worms at Willow Mill. The robins supplied them for the asking. a.

Willison Smith, Phila. realtor and Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania. He's spoken here often.

An interviewer wrote of him in a Philadelphia paper," Horatio Alger might well haw picked him as a central figure. The title "Risen From the Ranks," applies to his career." The closing paragraph will describe him to many Harrisburgers. Writes the reporter: One of the pleasantest things about visiting In his office is the spontaneous quality of his laughter. Visions of the stern and austere banker fade when his broad smile goes into high gear and becomes a full fledged laugh.

PAGE 9 SECOND SECTION HARRISBURG TEEEGEAF Comics Sports Financial ipScPABBuf Today's Memory Stretcher (ByA. Dear Ed. Do you remember the seventy five foot whale that was put on exhibition on a siding at North street? It was on two flat cars, covered by a canvas tent and an admis siorifee was charged. Persons outside knew of the presence of the fish by the perfume which drew more flies than patrons; Neighbors raised a fuss. A LOT OF YOU MEN WILL AGREE ON THIS A lot.

of Harrisburg's men folks will agree with the contributor who shipped this in by mail. Read on! Should men v. be comfortable in summer? Should they doff coats, ties and let opened collars permit smothered adams apples to come up for air? Kansas City (Mo.) women say they should. A poll of the civic and social leaders of that city brought to ligh an unsuspected sympathy for the wilted male. Men have as much right to be cool as women, they say.

The majority prefer open collars, no ties, white shirts and linen or other cool material trousers. Sev eral favor pajamas. One woman stylist says men are a little dumb. They started the summer pajama rage but didn't have the nerve to carry it on. It took the women to finish it, she Shorts? "No," they shriek in a horrified chorus.

Are they modest? No. They don't like men's knees. Ugly, they say. One woman said: Well, that depends on the legs. To display some of them would be death to romance.

I'm afraid. We have so few illusions left these days we'd better cling to what we have. How about it, Harrisburg women and men? GOOD BOY, HERB President Hoover must read the column. All dial telephones have been removed from the White House as time wasters. Bigum, Herb, you'll have us voting for you yet.

ARE YOU? Speaking of robots, several women in Harrisburg have 'em. They're their husbands. They do whatever they're told. And if they don't Ooo la laa! GET SET! Here are your ten brain stormers for today: 1. Is a child born of naturalized American parents temporarilv residing abroad an American citizen? 2.

To whom is the nickname, "Sultan of Swat" applied? S. What state formed the principal battleground in the American Civil War? 4. What do the stripes in the American flag represent? 5. What is the Federal income tax deduction for a married man without dependents other than his wife? 6. Who 'is Theodore Dreiser? 7.

Where did riorence Nightingale die? 8. What well known educational Institution is located in Alabama? Of what country is Bangkok the capital? 10. What is the name of the British Foreign Secretary? Today's Business Interview FIRM DECLARES BUSINESS GOOD, OUTLOOK SPLENDID Clarence Shenk Finds Strong Demand For Sporting Goods Clarence Shenk, of Shenk and Tittle, doesn't have "Them Depression Blues." He was wearing a "business is better" smile when a Telegraph reporter arrived at the sporting goods store in Market street. "We are doing very nicely," he said, "No phenomenal gains or anything like that. a nice, steady increase.

Mr. Shenk says that prospects for the fall trade is better than last year. "Excellent outlook," were his words. "We're placing large orders ac cordingly and will have a wide se lection in all lines of goods," he added, "Advance requests for foot ball goods are more numerous than they were in the fall of 1930, much more so. We are buying accordingly." Hunters' equipment will be in great demand, also, in his opinion.

Baseball More Popular "Baseball is returning to greater popularity," was another observation. "There is more sandlot baseball this season and a lot of playground ball. We've had a nice sale of bats, balls and gloves." More fishermen this year, too. "Our fishing tackle sales are about the best we ever had," he said. "More men seem to be going In for this line of sport." And there are more horseback riders.

Shenk and Tittle have disposed of many saddles, riding boots, bri des, etc. "The Junior Red Cross horse show did much to arouse Interest in horses and horsemanship," he believes. "People are coming to enjoy owning and riding horses. That CLARENCE SHENK naturally Increases the demand for leather goods." Tennis, Golf Gaining Tennis is more popular than ever this year if you gauge it by the sales of balls, racquets and nets at this store. Golf is also gaining more attention from persons interested in outdoor activities.

It was a hot day and attention naturally drifted to the bathing suits and various articles, designed lor water sports. "Our bathing suit sale has been above that of last year," Mr. Shenk said. "More and more people arc taking to the water, more than ever Before. One has but to Journey to the Municipal Beach, the various swimming pools in this vicinity to have this opinion substantiated.

All ages are represented. It's the ordinary thing now for grandma to take the grandchildren swimming swim with them, too." "We don't want to be too optimis tic, of course," Mr. Shenk said, "but everytnmg points to better times. We're having good summer business. Undoubtedly the 1931 fall trade will surpass that of 1930." A confident smile backed up his optimism.

Et E3 CITY'S CROSSING REMOVALS CITED IN PLANNING BOOK Illinois University Professor, Former Resident, Writes Text Karl B. Lohmann, formerly of Harrisburg (State Department Internal Affairs), now professor of landscape gardening at University of Illinois, has written a book, "Principles of City Planning." Professor Lohmann is a friend of City Engineer Clark Cowden, who bought a book.

The city engineer leafed the book in vain to find Harrisburg pictures, said: "I thought there'd be one on Sunken Gardens. Lohmann helped us in working out plans for that project." One paragraph explains Harrisburg's location thus: "Deep rivers resulted in Memphis and Vicks burg. Wide rivers caused origin of Terre Haute and Harrisburg. Meeting of rivers and ocean gave us New York, New Orleans, San Francisco and Philadelphia." The other paragraph: "In Pittsburgh all of the important grade grossings and in Harrisburg all 15 crossings over main line tracks have been eliminated." "He's right there," said Cowden "Harrisburg is one of the only two cities (Pittsburgh's the other) that have no dangerous grade crossings. Look at York, Allentown, Johnstown, Altoona, etc." READING COMPANY PLANS NEW BRIDGE The Reading Railroad Company today purchased from the city of Harrisburg a small plot of land in Shnaois street, adjoining the Reading's Steelton branch line, for $750.
