Edward Strachan, who misses very

to keep off the water.
Simmons and Posey fished what is

DR.. Hugh B. Callahan had a surpris-
ing experience while on cunning trip
in the vicinity OF College Park, Prince
Georges county, Nd, one day last week.
The doctor is an enthuiastic gunner.
who appreciates the benefit of outings
as much as he does the quantity of
game, and the shooting of a squirrel
gives him as much pleasure as does
the killing of larger game.
On the occasion of his recent trip he
killed squirrel and went in search of
another. His first shot brought down
big fat squirrel from a towering
chestnut tree. and shortly afterward
the sportsman got another shot at
what he supposed was a squirrel, his
friends say. and before the smoke had
faded away big fat possum rolled
from the tree.

bits were plentiful enough for US to
kill more than two dozen, and we got a
dozen birds"
One rabbit got so good start that it
managed to disappear through a hole
in the ground.
"a rabbits den." suggested Hender-
son, who thought it would be great
sport digging it out.
Each member of the party took
hand in the digging. Finally some
thing alive was sighted. and the gun
ners anticipated fun catching what
they thought was a fat rabbit.

Walter Hurley has returned from his
cunning trip, planned for week ago
and delayed on account OF the weather.
He boasted that he would have tur-
key as part of his game when he re-
turned with James Berry. his brother
in-law.
"And he had a turkey" declared
member of his family. 'Tll confess l
don't know much about turkeys, but
its appearance was similar to what the
dealers sell at Christmas times"
Walter later admitted it was of the
barnyard variety and that he had
bought it.

Charles Macnicol and w. G. Kent were
among the anglers who were at Point
of Rocks on a weekend outing. There
was too much water overhead for them
and the wind was SO strong that they
concluded ashore was the best place
for them.

no fish,"
Charles Macnicol thinks Maryland
and Virginia should follow the example
of West Virginia in the matter of pro-
tecting bass and other game fish. In
that state, he says, it is against the
law to sell such fish.
"And 1t is that provision of the law
that discourages pothunters," he said.
IF pothunters are unable to dispose
of their fish they will not go to the
trouble of catching them"
The sportsman said that trotlines are
seldom seen in West Virginia for the
reason that there is no market for the

Being only a short distance from Aque-

Is accessible and it Is an easy matter to
get pike .ninnows, the bait that Is most
attractive to the perch.
Souder does much Of his fishing dur

proper tide for the fishing it is an easy
matter for him to catch several dozen
