1 believe that section of the same bill
should be more specific in naming the
bass (Micropterus dolomien) and the large
mouth or Ereeh bass (Micropterus sal
moides), sos that there could be no pos
sible evasions. I consider this very neces-
sary.
1t should be specifically stated that the
possession of any Of the protected fishes
during the dbsed season, for any purpose,
shall be unlawful The existing bill does
not even intimate this intention, except
ing In the case of shad and herring Why
not the game fishes as well as those which
are mentioned?
Ihe having in possession of any black
or green bass less than eight inches in
length should be prohibited. No state with
effective fish laws permits the keeping of
bass less than eight inches long, and
many make ten inches the minimum.
The possession Of nets and other devices
Tor taking fish, and which may prove a
temptation to their possessors to violate
the law. Is prescribed by the laws of many
states.
believe the foregoing notes worthy of
the consideration of the law committee of
the association, and If they are consider
ed important they should at once take
steps to have the corrections made. While
about 1t, we should have the new law as
near perfect as possible. in order that there
shall be no necessity for tinkering at 1t
in the future.

/. Walter Sharp. also disciple of Izaak
Walton writes to the editor of The Star
on the subject of the proposed legislation
for the protection of the bass as follows:
l have read with mucn interest the fish
ard game protective bills which were pub
Hshed In Wednesdays Star, and. while they
are admirably constructed, l believe there
Is some room for criticism. 1t Is TO be pre-
sumed that the law committee of tho newly
organized Fish and Game Protective Asso-
citation prepared these bills, and l do not
believe that committee will object to friend
ly criticism. but, on the contrary, would
probably invite 1t.
There are comparatively few fly and
sroon casters on the Potomac river, nearly
ey cry angler using minnOws for bait. Now,
section l of the fish protective bill (unin-
tentionally, of course) would clearly make
1t unlawful for any person to catch min
nows for bait IN the usual way, l. e.. by
means Of dip-nets or minnow seines. II the
bait fishermen were to depend entirely
upon catching minnows upon pin hooks, OF
purchasing such as had been caught that
way, 1 am afraid they would find it both
trying and expensive. TIE fact that all
the states, when enecting laws OF this kind
make provision for minnow nets Is evi-
dence that such clause is necessary.
would suggest that after the last word OF
section one the following be added:
"And provided further That nothing in
| this act shall be construed SO as to pre-.
| vent any person from having in possession
or using dip-net or a minnow net or seine
for the exclusive purpose of catching min
| nows for bait, but for no other purpose
| and any fish or minnows taken therein
| other than such az are to be used for bait
/ must be returned to the water alive and. a,

| ncws 60 taken. other than such as arc t.

| ton OF the provisions of this act. sucf

THE German demand for duck eggs
Is said to be bringing prosperity to
certain locality in China. The eggs
are employed in manufacture-the
whites for the dyeing of textiles in
which albumen plays prominent
part, and the yolks for dressing fine
leather and glove skins. The eggs are
packed in chemicals and are shipped
by German firm which opens some
10000 per day. The shells, at present,
go to waste, though it is thought some
use may be found for them later.
