(Copyright, 3522, by Public Ledger Co.) T WAS a woman who gave the bolshevists their first serious jolt. She fought the nationaliza- tion of her sex and her sisters rallied quickly and womanhood re- mains womanhood in Russia, while manhood seems weakening. At first the bolshevist theorists attempted to etem the rising tide of opposition, but soon they saw the disgust and abhor- tence of their plan, for the state own- {ng and allotting of women was like- ty to bring them on the rocks. Na- tionalizing women dropped from the program, not through any direct pro- souncement, but because the women would not have it. It is significant to mote that the slinking efforts to en- force the provisions melted before the flames of opposition and that women have spken their minds, as women will” with a fine disregard for consequences, on other phases of bol- shevist rule.

He was afraid of that slip of a girl, who turned to me, saying: “Don’t you cver take them off; ever.” and she, too, vanished in the dusk. A peasant girl of the fields cowed a soldier; a gentle-bred child awed an officer. Ah, those Russian wom- en!

The price of fish is but she put the fear of woman in the heart of a man who knew the fear of neither God nor man, and that is some achievement. But listen to this: In a prison van was a father and in some way his daughter, a girl of about fourteen—her appearance be- spoke gentle breeding and good blood —had managed to reach his side on the hour he was to be taken away. The red guards blustered, shouted nd tried to drag her away. They threatened to kill her, and her trem- bling lips. which she had just pressed to her father's cheek, stiffened into hard lines as she hissed “pigs” at them. It was a picture, this little girl with her arms clasped about her high, but whether prices are out of line with food prices in general is |a question on which everybody is at 1 liberty to hold opinions. Though fish prices are high, the fishing season is young and big catches may help lower the cost of living. That is but a hope. The Potomac “fisheries” have re- ceded downstream until they have virtually passed out of the river. Nets and seines scoop up the shad and her- ring in the bay, and relatively small numbers of fish reach the rivers that pour their floods into the Chesapeake. Before the Chesapeake fisheries took the lead the fishing shores far down the Potomac were so highly developed and were seined on such an extensive scale that they gathered in great hauls of fish that otherwise would have erally for hix takings from it. or woom to e only barsen acres. and the fishermen will o that if they constantly pis their calling without artificially increasing the sup. ply of fish they will land only empty seines This artificial propagation has been so long practiced that its resuits can be as confidently counted o as the planting of corn or cottor and a few thousand dollars in the hands of & man skilled in the business would soon supply every reasonable demand. Perhaps there are still living a few men who can remember seine hauling near the point where the Aqueduct bridge crosses the river. in the early part of the nineteenth century seines yielded rich returns there. Jonathan Elliot, an old Washington printer, who published a Guide to Washing- ton, in 1830, wrote the following paragraph about the fish of the Po- tomac river: Abont four years ago there was taken at one of the fisheries on the Virginia side of the river—Sycamore Landing—Dbelonging 1o l g leaders existed {n the French reign of MACMILLAN, THE iurrnon.

The eel, which spawns in salt water, ascends the river and reaches nearly all bodies of water.

That shore, from colonial times to -| the civil war, was one of the highly profitable, ohes on the Potomac river near Washington and it continued_to be: a paying shore through the '70s and '80s. The White House fishing shore under the bluffs of the Fairfax estate of phreys, was a valuable shore, and the Freestone fishing shore, a long. sandy beach on the estate called Leesylvania owned by the Lee family, which first owned and fished it, and which in the early part of the nineteenth century becams the property of a branch of the Maryland Fairfax family. was a great place for Rig hauls.
