There have been four silver cups ordered for the biggest fish of four Yinds, and the contest has no clos ing date as announced yet. In other words, you have all summer to win one of these Wallace Company cups for getting a big fish, and we wish you luck. Remember, this contest is being announced conducted along the lines of -the Field and Stream contest, and we will consider only sworn statements as to size and weight, and there must be a photo graph of the fish. Catch a big one, but don’t tell a big one. The requests for the cover man agement bulletin that have been coming in so fast recently have in dicated to the Game and Fish De partment the need for a conserva tion handbook for Georgia.

This handbook will be purely Georgia material, and will apply omly ty the problems of wild life conservation as they occur in this state. Georgia can adopt principles of management from other states that nave been successful, but the details of any plan must be made to fit our particular needs'.

Washington Is Enthusiastic - Ower Its Post-Repeal Drink Capital Singing '‘Sweef, Adeline”” in Leather- Lunged Voice Nightly | By RODNEY DUTCHER L Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent. WASHINGTON. — Washington handed prohibition to the country and Washington abolished it. Congress undertook o frame a model liquor control law for the ’ca.pital, too. So tnis city seems a ’goud test-tube for post-repeal ob- TSex'va:lon purposes. (Papers in dry areas please copy). Already a vociferous minority of wets wishes prohibition were back again. A wave of public drinking drowns the charm of pri vate drinking. Liquor is sold in every one-arm lunch, chain store, and pharmacy. Officials who once obeyed the law now feel compelled to add alcohol to their seocial functions. The police report no increase in arrests since repeal. But vou won der what's become of those who told us ther'd be less drinking when liguor was easy to get and the titillating incentive of law breaking removed, or that there'd be a desertion of hard liquor for beer and wines. 5 ; Drinking among the young was 4 curse Lo prohibition. There’s a lot more .of it here now. High school kids present more than ‘their usual problem. Remember tempting promises of repealists that social groups wouli stop talking about the price and quality of hootch and turn to seri ous national prbolems? - They weré no more prophetic than Hoover's 1928 gnarantee of a prosperous millennium. ~ Droves of - loud-mouthed men and women who were barred from the better speakeasies are now at large in hotels and restaurants. Hen parties are visible and pain fully audible .in every public drinking place. - All too often . they break into rollicking song just to show what a happy, emancipated time they're having. This town boasts itself the most cosmopolitan in America, but it's a long way from the hoasted drinking poise of Europeans.

He's a teetotaller and firmly refused a cocktail.

But customers so fill up the place that it's been impossible. One reason is the new Mae West cocktail—brandy, grenadine, and lime — which makes the floor ¢'m up'n see you sometimes. 3 The Mayflower expanded cock tail facilities to seat 150 persons— and 750 rushed in the first day. It has resumed public dancing after three years, during which it insisted that hip flagks had ruined that form of amusement, . The Ambassador’s Hi-Hat Case draws NRA and code authority folk, featuring its ‘“drink of the week,” which lately was “the Old Smoothie.” ’ Frank McNey, the impresaric there, who used to be with Dick Canfield, says it. includes rye, grenadine, lime, fruit decoration, and seltzer. ATI these lounges become mad houses whenever a large conven tion is here. Vodka's the Smart Drink ~ Russians are shrewd. Local li quor stores sold out of vodka soon after the Russian embassy's big reception. Vodka has become the “smart”. drink, and such a large clientele is assured for that Soviet export that the party was an excellent commercial invest ment. 7 Vodka comes colorless or slight ly greenish. Alecoholic content 59 percent. American guests were taught not to sip it or dilute it. You just gulp it. It's well to take zakuska or a gob of caviar just before and after. v Barkeeps Hate to Hide The capital’s “model law” says the customer can't see the bar tender mixing the drinks. .Bar tenders, hoth lonesome and anx fous to show their stuff, are pro testing to Congress.

Harsh laxatives often drain the system, weaken the bowel muscles, and even affect the liver and kidneys. Fortunately, the public is fast returning to laxatives in liguid form. The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you needn’t take a “double dose” a day or two later. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gently helps the average person’s bowels back to regularity. ' Why not try it? Some pill or tablet may be more con venient to carry. But there is little “‘convenience” in any cathartic which is taken so frequently, you must carry it with you, wherever you go! Its very taste tells you Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A delightful taste, and delightful action. Safe .for expectant mothers, and eaildren. All druggists, ready for use, in big bottles, Member N, R. A.
