ANGLING PRECAUTIONS

IN HE rarity of accidents to anglers in
American waters may cause the
Il majority of them to give little
thought to the possibility of such things
when purchasing their fishing outfits or
equipping themselves for a day on
favorite trout or salmon stream
In wading large brooks and streams
it is the common practice for the angler,
particularly in April and May, to equip
himself somewhat as follows: A f1an-
mel shirt, warm trousers or knicker-
bockers and wooden stockings, over
wooden underclothing; a waterproof
Jacket or coat, wading trousers or
thigh-length Wading stockings; over
these another pair of wool stoc Kings
and hobnailed brogues In dry 1,att
all of these articles are heavy, but
when saturated they are much more SO.
Add to these a creel, landing net anu
other small things, light in weight but
certain to hamper one in a fall, and the
anglers movements are not much more
agile or graceful than those of man
in a diving suit. Add again the rod,
which may be dropped readily enough.
but which is the last thing to be cast
aside in an emergency, and the pos
sible danger of ones position at times
becomes apparent.

sary in the equipment for early fishing.
The air and the water are cold, and one
moves so slowly that his circulation is
not raised. The boots or brogueS must
be both stiff and heavy, for many steps
are taken where it would be easy to
sprain or break an axle in light foot
wear, and the half-pound of nails is
necessary to prevent slipping on messy
and Shiny stones.
Even in brooks the current in places
is strong enough to give one who falls
a moment of anxiety, while in streams
there are riffs in which one would find
it extremely difficult to regain his foot
ing after a fall. Pools and Swampy
places need scarcely be considered.
since the angler seldom ventures int
them without testing the footing, Stey
by STEP and if it is insecure there is }
current to prevent him from backing
out and trying a more favorable place
to enter. By some men wading sta ifs
are employed but other anglers dislike
the encumbrance.
The recent drowning of Francis M.
Walbran in an English stream, and Of
Lieut.. Cook in Ireland, both encum-
bered with heavy gear, has brought
home to the angling world the necessity
for great care in wading, and the dan
ger in encumbering oneself with ar
tcles that may hamper him if he loses
his footing in swift water. To reduce
the weight of wading equipment is diff
ficult but it is possible and advisable
to avoid all straps with old-fashioned
buckles and other things that may
prove troublesome in a mishap and to
simplify things, so that the danger may
be reduced to the minimum. Whatever
the footwear may be, the soles and
heels should be we'll protected with
broad headed nails, and these should be

FOUNDER OF GEORGE JR.
REPUBLIC DEFENDS PLAN
Says That There Are No Bad Boys
and That Those Usually Called
"Bad" Are the Best

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-William r
George. founder of the George Junior
Republic, was the guest of honor al
luncheon at the City club yesterday
and later spoke before the Chicago
Womans club. On both occasions Mr.
George told of the experiment in max
ing citizens which is being conducted
at the unique school over which he
presides.
Mr.. George is a skeptic where bad
boys are concerned he does not be-
lieve there are any. He is something
of an iconoclast, too, for he holds the
opinion that the "bad" boys are the
best, the keenest and the most eff
cient.
He is considering the feasibility OF
establishing such a school near Chi
cago.
