BOOK WILL REVEAL | sy o] HOOVER AS ANGLER' Small Volume, Containing Two of His Speeches, Will Be Published This Month. President Hoover, like his predecessor, Calvin Coolidge, is an old-fashioned angler and as such is revealed in a very human manner in his new book, a slim volume of less than 50 pages, entitled “A Remedy for Disappearing Game Fishes,” which the Huntington Press will publish September 26. ‘The new volume reveals the President 85 a man seen through his favorite hobby, rather.than as a statesman who aks through his state papers or as engineer who translated Agricola's “De Re Metallica.”” It reveals also & ntle touch of good humor that has n the heritage of all true trout fish- ermen and a calm philosophy undoubt- edly inspired by fish-haunted pools Il Only 990 copies of the volume will be printed on Worthy Hand and Arrows | per and bound in boards with a mar- g’! design by Douglas Cockrell. There will be a foreword, it was said, by French Strother, administrative nis’st- ant to the President, and mustmuons from woodcuts by Harry Cimino. It was said the book will sell for $7. Made Up of Two Speeches. President Hoover’s book s made up of two of his speeches, revised for this publication. The first, which bears the | same title as the book, was delivered while Mr. Hoover was Secretary of Com- merce and when he was taking for the | second time the presidency of the Izaak | Walton League of America. It already has been published in the Atlantic Monthly in its unrevised form. ‘The other speech, “An address tp the People of Virginia,” was one of Mr. Hoover's first utterances as President and is an expression of his contentment for his newly acquired Summer camp on the Rapidan {n the Virginia moun- tains. Fishing, the President says, is an ideal sport for a democracy because “all men are created equal before fishes.” “There are lots of people who com- mitted crimes during the year who would not have done so if they had been fishing,” the President writes, “and I assure you that the increase in crime is due to a lack of those qualities of mind and character which impregnate the soul of every fisherman except those who get bites. “Unless we can provide at least 50 fish per annum, including the occa- sional big ones for recounting and memory purposes, we may despair of keeping the popu]nuon from further | moral turpitude.” Seen From New Angle. * 1In another chapter the President ap- proaches the pastime of fishing from & pew angle. “That comprehensive list of human rights, the Decllramn of Independence,” he said, “is firm that all men (and boys) are endowed with certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness, which obviously sult of fish. America is a well wntered country and the inhabitants know all the fishing holes.” The first article in the book, the title article, is partly a lament that “the distance between bites has been in- creased beceause of the rising ratio of water to fish” and partly a suggestion that this condition could be remedied by the establishment of nurseries to keep the infant fish, born in Govern- ment hatcheries, until they had grown |in that to the stature of 3 inches and were thus able to fend for themselves. Cites Improved Equipment. “Some millions of fishermen have invented new lures of a seductive order and have devised many new and fear- ful incantations with ts of new Kkinds of clothes and labor-saving de- vices to carry them about,” Mr. Hoover vrms in demlh\ng the modern dan- m fish. “We have in- mlde stupendous progress in physi- cal equipment to overcome the mysteries of fish. We have moved upward from the rude but social conditions of the willow pole with a butcher string line, fixed with hooks 10 for a dime, whose compelling lure is one segment of an angleworm and whose incantation is spitting on the bait. “We have arrived at the high state of tackle, assembled from the steel of Damascus, the bamboos of Siam, the silk of Japan, the lacquer of China, the tin of Bangkok, the nickel of Canada, the feathers of Brazil and the silver of Colorado—all compounded by mass production at Chicago and Akron, Ohlo. And for magic and incantations we have progressed to the application of cosmetics to artificial fish, and to wonders in special clothing with pigeon holes for varied lures and liniments and to calling a bite a strike.” | In his second article Mr. Hoover says that many Presidents have become fish- ermen only after their inauguration, but that he could claim more than 45 | years of apprenticeship. A Presidcnt’s Only Escape. “I have discovered the reason why Presidents take to fishing—the silent | sport. Apparently the only opportunity for refreshment of one’s soul and clari- fication of one’s thought by solitude by residents lies in fishing. As I have said in another place, {t is generally realized and accepted that prayer is the most personal of all human rela- tionships. On such occasions as that men are entitled to be alone and un- disturbed. “Next to prayer fishing is tie personal relationship of man, ant ¢ more importance than the fect iteell | everybody concedes that the fish will not bite in the presence of the rvb'ic. | Pishing seems to be the sole ave left to Presidents through which they | may escape to their own thoughts and may live in their own imaginings and find relief from the pneumatic hammer of constant personal contacts and re- freshment of mind in the babble of rippling brooks. “Moreover, it is a constant reminder of the democracy of life, of humility and of human frailty—for all men are equal before fishes. And it is desirable that the President of the United States | should be periodically reminded of this fundamental fact—that the forces of | Nature discriminate for no man.” KANSAS CITY ACCEPTED FOR V.
