Hunters and umbermen often carried these â€"in their pockets to eat ith their lunches. Jt came in one piece, "a jibâ€" shaped critter, broad‘s a sail, ?‘tkree feet from tail to snout," : you carried it by the tail. In those days.they split the fish, outâ€"part of the backbone, salted it, then dried it in the sun. And when it was freshened, you could ‘peel it off in nice, thick strips: hence "strip fish." _ The "strip fish" industry is eoming back to New England, "they tell us. Just at first there won‘t be too many to get exâ€" gited over this information beâ€" Leause most of us haven‘t the slightest idea what "strip fish" ds; or was. But those oldsters who do remember how good it was are spreading the glad news and making a lot of folks anxiâ€" ous to try it A man from the little fishing town of Corea in the State of Maine is responsible for its revival. . Back in the old days when Greatâ€"Grandmother sent you to the store for codfish, you didn‘t bring it back in glass jars or meatly packaged, as it is today. \ "Strip fish" is an old New England dish. Oldâ€"Time Strip Fish Returns No dance has had so manv tunes written for it as the waltz. Johann Strauss, though not its creator, was the supreme master of waltz rhythm and waltz meicâ€" dy. He and his three sons comâ€" fi;l:d between them something 1,500 waltzes. One of the first reporters to describe the waltz in Frankfurt in 1800 wrote: "The man places m palms of his hands gently the sides of his partner. not far from the armpits. His m does much the same and ; tly with as rAuch velocity as possible they turn round and at the same time gradually glide _ ‘The irresistibleâ€" rhythm of the ~wmmwmym 1780 . it was merely a simple .m dance in Austria and E , its birthplace. * The millions of teenagers now :rhl under the influence of the waltz must wonder why it was ever frowned upon here. It‘s that embrace that caused the trouble. Papents thought it wrong to see a young man take & girl in his arms and whirl her round the early nineteenthâ€"ceaâ€" tury ballrooms to its lifting $ Ti â€" fi...‘fiuu show the thrilling finish of the $135,000 Flamingo Stakes, when ;a-.m Martack booting, was deciared the winner on a foul over Jewel‘s ridden by Panamanian |odxo'z Manuel Ycora, At upper left, flwm'only a neck { ‘\0‘.?.. apart near the: finish line, right.

Whipping out a revolver he fired two shots at her at a range of about two feetâ€"and missed both times. There was another dish made with, "strip fish" which Greatâ€" Grandmother _ called â€" "picked fish." There are (many recipes for this in the old cookbooks, "Pick up" two cups of freshened salt fish, they all begin. This simply means, flake the strips with a fork into tiny bits and serve in a white sauce. The potatoes to accompany this must be baked. And of course there are beets. The big question today might be, Will "fish strips" push smoked salmon off the hors d‘oeuvres tray? To make the pork scraps, you cut a quarter pound of salt pork into the tiniest of squares, put them into a frying pan, stirring frequently until all the fat is extracted and the scraps are a light brown. Then . you pour them, fat and all, over the fish and boiled potatoes The potatoes must be boiled, says Mrs. Parâ€" loa, and there are always beets. Beets are always served with strip fish, says Mrs. Putnam, most emphafically. Mrs. Putnam, in her "Receipt Book," 1858, gives full directions for this oldâ€"time dish. She calls it Dun Fish. You put the whole fish in a kettle, soak it overâ€" night, bring it to a boil and "dish it up in a clean napkin on a fish dish; eat it with drawn butter and pork scraps." You won‘t find a recipe for "strip fish" in any. of the modâ€" ern cookbooks, but in her "Apâ€" pledore Cook Book" published in 1870, Mrs. Parloa gives three different recipes for fish balls, and in each of them she says use the strip fish left over from dinner, writes Nellie Ryder Gates in The Christian Science Monitor. stamps from snout clean down to the tail, Put on a quick delivery stamp, and sent the fish by mail," And, the poem goes on, that was all she needed. After she got a good whiff and a good taste of the fish (probably had "strip fish" for the next meal) she felt better, "and today a happy wife‘ in a happy home, lives out in Denver, Colo." State of Maine girl who married and went to Denver to live. She was so homesick that "she grew as thin as a belaying pin." But when she wrote her father that she couldn‘t stand Denver a minute longer, he ,knew just what to do.

It was about a WILD AND WIDE Contrary to their expectations, the scientists found that the arâ€" tery deposits they studied conâ€" tained no fats at all, although it looked and felt like fat. More than half of the artery patches was cholesterol, but in a differâ€" ent form than the ordinary The first chemical analysis of the patches on the inside of the arteries of patients with atheroâ€" sclerosis was described by Drs. Charles J. Umberger and Leo A. Dal Cortivo, biochemists in the New York City Medical Examâ€" iner‘s office. Their intricate tests of hardened material taken from the arteries of 55 men (between 26 and 50 years old) who had died of acute heart disease may upset current theories as to how fats in the diet contribute to hardening of the arteries and to eventual heart attacks. Instead of "drowning in their own fuid," Drs. Grossman and Leiter said, congestive heartâ€" failure patients, now can be "dried out" by this therapy: (1) A lowâ€"salt diet (salt contributes to the "backing up" of fluid in the tissues); (2) the use of drugs called "diuretics," which inâ€" crease the flow of urine and draw excess fluids â€" the most effective being chlorothiazide (tradeâ€" name, Diuril), and (3) placing an elastic bandage on the patient‘s swollen legs and eleâ€" vating them so that the fluid is squeezed from the limbs and carâ€" red to his kidneys. _ For victims of congestive heart failure â€"* the most common cause of death from heart malaâ€" dies â€" Drs. Lous Leiter and Jacob Grossman of New York‘s Montefiore Hospital have uncovâ€" ered a new treatment which may offer a way to normal life exâ€" pectancy. The afflicted person‘s heart fails to pump enough blood to meet the body‘s oxygen reâ€" quirements. To compensate, large quantities of fluids collect in the body tissues and are not carried off to the kidneys. The lungs and liver may become congested. A mold extract which, minutes after injection into the blood stream, searches out and breaks up blood clots was announced by the Massachusetts Heart Assoâ€" ciation. Drawn from the mold that grows on bread, it can be used safely in the severest heart and stroke cases to the prevenâ€" tion of much longâ€"term damage. In ten years of experimenting with animals and finally with 25 humans, Dr. Mario Stefanini discovered that the extract disâ€" solves proteins, which make up bloodelots. Its precise nature is not yet known, however, and it will probably not be available for use by general practitionemi for another two years. w In the long fight against the biggest health villain, heart disâ€" ease, American medicine revealâ€" ed some significant discoveries recently.

The other day a man was arâ€" rested in Wisconsin when a woman accused him of having stolen twenty dollars from her He strénuously denied it so the police took him to the station and searched him, but there was no sign Of the money and he could not have got rid of it. A similar method led to the Gestruction of «ome documents which were never found. They were pulped and boiled up with the cattle feed.

To cap that, they were married as they skated around an arena with a parson on rollers skating alongside them. Parties, dinners and dances may be places where romantic attachments are made but cerâ€" tainly they are not conducive to marital ties, for only 10 per cent of all marriage proposals were made at such .events.

Dr. Popenoe, as head of the Los Angeles Institute of Family Relations, studied 1,181 marriage proposals and found that 25 per cent were made in motor cars while the couple were parked somewhere.

Paul Popence thinks following a study of over 1,000 marriage proposals. cholesterol found in the blood stream,. _ From these findings, Drs. Umberger and Dal Cortivo assume that changes so far unâ€" known may take place in body cholesterol before it reaches the arteries. ~ Their analyses also suggested that diets of unsaturâ€" ated fats (such as vegetable oils) recommended to heart patients by many physicians may have no effectâ€"in preventing artery hardâ€" ening. â€"From NEWSWEEK Secret Hoards the Wendeborn triplets are a little. short on on a coke in their Dallas home. lLeft to right James Clerk â€" Maxwell, Scotâ€" tish physicist who died in 1879, was the first professor of experiâ€" mental physics at Cambridge.

Illicit diamond buyersâ€"none of them Basuto chieftains â€" have tried to work their magic on bovs deemed exploitable, but with scant success. The chiefs, it was said, buried such hoards in the Maluti mounâ€" tains. But mining officials disâ€" miss this story as sheer moonâ€" shine. What use, for one thing, would diamonds be if tucked away in mountainsides? We‘ve yet to hear of secretâ€"di@mond worshipping rites or ceremonies. Sometimes, smuggling attempts are made. But, legend alone acâ€" counts for the belief that Basuto boys. yielding to secret persuaâ€" sion from their chiefs, traffic ilâ€" licitly under tribal orders. Hitherto, many hundreds of boys working in the Jagersâ€" fontein mines have picked up tiny stomes, but none within measureable distance of this blue monster. When cut and polished this fine diamond may realize as much as $1000 a carat, or a total of $350,000. Thobi certainly thinks himself lucky. His reward may strike others as generous, especially in view of the meagre amounts some people in this country reâ€" ceive when they find large sums of money and hand them to the police. Many‘might have been temptâ€" ed to try to smuggle out so fabulous a gem and sell it, but he immediately reported his find. As a reward the company has paid him the record sum of $2,500. Previously, the highest reward for "pick ups" was $500 For Thobi had the luck a pure blueâ€"white stone, ing 350 carats, in the the ground workings. insists on calling herself "lucky". At 15, an iceâ€"skating star, she broke her back. "Lucky I wasn‘t killed," she says. She went skiing, broke her kneecap. Doctors forbade active sports. "I was lucky. It gave me time to study acting." There were other bits of such "luck", but now she‘s okay, playing the role of Alice in "Dick Whittingâ€" ton and His Cat" for TV‘s "Shirley Temple‘s Storybook" series.

Whether or not Gans told the truth, it is a fact that sporting men who saw the fight had a strong suspicion that something was crooked. The performance of Gans was regarded with suspicion and few | No proof of a fake could be produced and Britt said that beâ€" cause‘ of Gans‘ attack he would never fight him again under any circumstances. _ But the charges failed to force Britt back into the ring with Gans. Britt replied that Gans‘ statement was all lies and that the 1904 fight had been strictly on the level. The colored boy also said that he had purposely made a ridicuâ€" lously poor showing in the fight, but that if Britt would met him again he would show him up in his true colors. The plotters cleaned up $18,â€" 000 in bets on the result, deâ€" clared Gans. He wanted to force Britt into another fight and, with the idea of putting on the pressure, he declared their battle in 1904 had been faked. Gans said that this manager, Al Herford, from whom he had broken away, and Britt‘s brother, Willie, had engineered the job so that Britt should lose on a foul. ‘The second offence in the fifth round was so palpable that I was forced to give Gans the deâ€" cision.‘ It was 18 months later that Gans came out with the astoundâ€" ing statement that the fight had been fixed. \ ‘What could I do when a man fell every time when it wasn‘t necessary? I am sorry I hit him while on his knees, but I could not help it." Graney said: ‘I really should have given Gansâ€" the decision in the fourth round4 When Britt fouled him, but as Gans was not hurt, I overâ€" looked it. But Britt himself adâ€" mitted that I could have called a foul.at that time. But, after the fight, when Britt had recovered his temper, he hpg}ggized to Graney and said: Britt appeared to be frantic with rage when he realized he had lost the fight, and he rushâ€" ed at Graney striking wildly. UGraney, a boxer himself, fought back and police had to separate them. The decision was a shock to the crowd, but most people agreed that Graney‘s judgment was just. The betting on the fight closâ€" ed at 6% to 10 in favor of Gans. A short time before the fight the odds went to 10 to 8, but a rush of money for Gans forced the odds back to the closing figure. From the start of the fight it looked as though Brit was the winner, He outboxed the negro boy, landing blow after blow, and by the fourth round it lookâ€" ed as though Gans was scared. Critics even said that Gans seemâ€" ed to invite a foul. \ Referee Eddie Graney promptâ€" ly awarded the decision to Gans ‘ou a foul.‘ The same thing had ‘happened in the fourth round. Gans had dropped to his knees to escape a blow that did not land. Britt struck at him, but Graney would not allow the foul. He had knocked Gans down and then, seeming to lose his head, he gave Gans another vicious punch as he was getting to his feet. Britt, of California, lost the championship title to Gans in the fifth round of their fight at San: Francisco on October 31, that he was guilty of, faking fights shocked the fans at the time, and probably will surprise many people today, ‘But that wasn‘t/all, Sometime afterwards Gans confessed that the fight had been faked. fighters of all time, so the news later the fight was over â€"â€" Joe !Guludm ‘ This became one of the most .cuw\mddmtnflumm of boxing. /The fight was beâ€" tween Joe Gans and Jimmy Britt for the lightweight championâ€" ship of the world ~ and Gans won on a foul, when Britt seemâ€" ed to have him well beaten. to the jaw sent a batered Joe cnuerumb the canvas; he struggled feet and & second Boxing experts have classed A succession of lefts and rights Was Famous Fight On The Level ? _ Rats receiving glucagon gained less weight and possessed less fat, water and protein than rats that didn‘t, although both got the same quantity of calories in their diets, The researchers found that the hormone made the rodent‘s metabolic rate inâ€" crease about 35 per cent.

This. was reported reâ€" cently by Davidson, Salter and Best, of the University of Toâ€" ronto. Gans died on August 10, 1910. at his home in Baltimore, but the controversy about his faked fights has lingered on to this day. In a return bout at Colma, California, September 9, 1908 Gans was knocked out by Nelson in the 21st round and he lost the championship. At Goldfields, Nevada, on Sepâ€" tember 3, 1906, Gans won from Battling Nelson in 42 rounds to retain the title â€" and this fight he also won on a foul. * This was the fight that he afterwards said he had been offered $25,000 to let Nelson win. Britt claimed the crown after Gans put on weight, but Gans regained it in the fight that he afterwards declared a fake. Gans won the lightweight title from Frank Erne at Fort Erie by a oneâ€"round knockout in 190%2. He was also beaten by Erne, when he quit because of his eye injury at the end of 12 rounds in 1900. He lost to Sam Langford in 1903 and twice to Battling Nelson in 1908. He was defeated eight times, iwice on points by Dal Hawkins and Bobby Dobbs in 1897, and twice by knockouts at the hands of Elbows McFadden and Terry McGovern in 1899 and 1900 reâ€" spectively. Gans‘ excuse for ever having been a party to a crooked figat was that it was the scheming of his manager, Herford, and that he couldn‘t object because he had to make a living. Gans was born in Baltimors, Maryland, on November 25, 1876. His height was 5 feet 6% inches and he weighed 133 pounds. He was known as the Oid Master because of his cleverness in the ring. He had 155 battles and won 49 of them by knockouts. ‘‘The offer was made by one of Nelson‘s friends a few days before the battle," Gans declarâ€" ed. "He wanted to put up the money if I would permit the Dane to win. "I wanted to win that fight. I was in perfect condition and I knew Nelson was weak. For a year he had been calling me fake, thief and other vile names. The pleasure of licking Nelson was the ambition of my life, and I would not have lost that sweet revenge for the richest mine in Goldfield." "It looked like a trap to drag me into disrepute, and when I refused he wanted to give me the money in gold. A few months after his first confession, Gans did admit that he had been offered $25,000 to "lay down" to Battling Nelson. And the fight between Gans and Terry McGovern, in which Gans was knocked out in the second round. Gans‘ confession that the fight was a fake made people suspect that many of his other fights may have been fixed. His fight with Frank Erne, in New York, for instance, in which Gans quit after he butted Erne and cut his right eye. Round 5â€"They mixed fierceâ€" ly. Britt went after Gans like a whirlwind. Britt sent Gans to the floor with a succession of rights and lefts to the jaw. As Gans was, attempting to rise Britt met him with a desperate right to the jaw. Eddie Graney, the referee, disqualified Britt and awarded the decision to Gans. Gans rose but was again floorâ€" ed with lefts and‘rights to the face. There was fearful confuâ€" sion and the bell was not heard. In this round Britt hit Gans acâ€" cidentally while Gans was down, but a claim of foul was not alâ€" lowed. Round 4 â€" Britt waded in fiereely, rushing Gans to the ropes with a heavy left over the heart. Britt kept himself well covered and was a puzzle to Gans. At close quarters Britt landed some heavy blows. Gans suddenly shot his left hard to Britt‘s jaw,\but in return Britt put in body. blows that sent Gans to his knees. [ Round 3â€"They mixed it fierceâ€" ly at close quarters, both doing some clever boxing. Gans got in & good right to the body, but Britt retaliated with a straight left hard to the stomach. In the mixâ€"up both exchanged punches, Britt landing his right and left on the face as the bell rang. : Britt did most of the leading in this round, but the honors were about even. The first two rounds of their fiveâ€"round fight were fairly even and showed little action. ;lcn is an eyeâ€"witness account of the last three rounds of the fight: CGeorge Roberts in The Police Gazette. :‘ believed the fight was on the square when an experienced muk.
