BY LILIAN COX ATHEY. “1 pray you, sir, give me some observa- tions and directions concerning the pearech, for they say is both a very good and a bold-biting fish, and I wouid fain learne to fish for him.” —The Compleat Angler. ERHAPS you too, would like nothing better than to know where and how to catch the best-known fresh-water fish. It is to be found in Eastern United States, and is most abundant through- out the Eastern and Northern part in ponds and streams. It loves the Great Lakes and the crosswise streams of the lakes of Nova Scotia. In the streams 152 of the upper Mississippi Valley, also in the Northern waters of Indiana, Tlinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne- sota and Iowa. It is one of the easiest fish to plant into new locations and is often spoken of as everybody’s fish. As a food fish, it is in high favor, for among the commoner fish it has no rival. ‘The catch in the Great Lakes is well over 9,000,000 pounds annually. When you think of the number of perch caught by happy anglers over the wide range held by them. you can well believe it is an abundant species and easily caught. The perch does not insist upon fancy bait and is even fooled with artificial fly or trolling spoon. You can catch them through holes in ice. You will have little difficulty identi- fying this fish. For there is no other that has tke lovely combination of colors worn so elegantly by this one. On its body, from the head to the base of the tail, are broad cross bands of black against the sides of goid. The under parts are white, and the lower fins are red and orahge. On the large head there is a greenish coppery wash, which gives a glittering appearance to the gayly attired creatures. Perhaps you may have seen the eggs in their zigzag bands before they have been in the water long enough to be- come large egg masses. They are laid in the more shallow water along the shores. They can be removed and placed in streams, where they will hatch and thus have a wider range. Look for these bands or masses shortly after the ice in the streams has melted. The size of an adult perch is from 10 to 14 inches, and its weight about | 2 pounds. These fresh-water fish live to be 10 years old, and some have even reached an older age. If you wish to offer this gamey perch bait, place upon your hook such tempt- ing bits as grasshoppers, grubs, small minnows, angle worms, bits of mussel or fish. It is not what you might call a real fighter, but it surely does not | give up its freedom without a brave struggle. What could give more pleas- ure than a string of tender perch to | take home, after a glorious day in the open? (Copyright. 1936 Winning BY THE F (David Burnstine.

SUPPOSE you were dsked to stop by the grocery store and do a little shopping on your way home from work. The items called for are salt, paper kitchen towels, matches, sugar, potatoes, onions, calf liver, dried apricots. Some people have a system for re- membering such domestic detalls.

A butterfly crossing in front of her unexpectedly would make her Jump. There was one who was bold, and his boldness was a source of constant \ | ’\ There was one who | | worry to his mother. There was one who was slow. He was always tagging behind the others in whatever they did. His mother said he was lazy. There was a sister who was as quick | as her brother was slow. There was | one who was headstrong, and another who was just the opposite, always | minding promptly. And there was |one who was a weakling. In a big family there is almost always one who |is not so strong as the others. | The weakling had been smaller than | her brothers and sisters when the | family were born. She was two or three days later in peeping out of the doorway for the first look at the Great World outside. When they played to- gether she was knocked about by her brothers and sisters, simply because she was not strong enough to hold her own. When there was a scramble for food she was always the one to get the least. So it followed that the weak- ling did not grow as fast as the others, At first her mother took no notice of this. But after a while, as the others grew rapidly and the weakling grew very slowly, mother began to favor her. She would give her choice bits of food. She would push the others away when they tried to snatch the food from their little sister. It | was the same way with Reddy Fox. | You know, Reddy is a good father. He is a watchful father. He saw that |if the weakling was not protected from the others and was not watched | over more carefully, she would grow to be more and more of a weakling. Now the weakling might lack strength, but she lacked nothing in the way of wits. While she was the weak- est of those children, she was in some ways the smartest. She learned fast, she remembered what she learned. As those young Foxes grew big enough to go out with their parents for the 4 first lessons in hunting the weakling | was always a little behind. That was | because she couldn't keep up. But | she was good natured about it, and it wasn't long hefore her mother real- ized that the weakling was at once the most obedient of the eight little Foxes and the quickest witted. Little Foxes, like boys and girls, have to go to school. Their school is a different kind of school from the schools boys and girls attend, but it is & most important school. It is called the school of experience. It is & school in which mistakes or forgetfulness may be very, very costly. Indeed, such mistakes and such forgetfulness may, and often do, cost a life. So, you see, it is most important that lessons should be learned thoroughly and re- { membered. There was not one among the other little Foxes who learned as quickly or remembered as well as did the weakling. The result was that she seldom was in trouble. Some of her brothers and sisters used to say that this was because she was & “fraidy.” It was nothing of the kind. You see, she was too smart to be a “fraidy.” So it was that the eight little Foxes grew and learned the things that are supposed to be learned by Foxes. But they learned them, each according to his or her ability, and in this there was a great difference. You see, a very great deal had to be learned in a very short time. (Copyright, 1936.)

The “lucky” declarer answered: *“I know that West in common with most good players does not ordinarily lead an ace against a small slam contract. However, on this hand he not only opened with an ace, but it was highly significant that it was the ace of a bid suit. It was, therefore, obvious to me that he had high hopes of winning another trick.
