o HOW THE FISHERMAN o
o SHOULD HANIILE o
o HIS SHORT BAIT CASTING o
o ROD.--The successful fisherman o
o is one who is familiar with the o
o habits of the fish he seeks. and o
o il is to his advantage to be ac- o
quainted with the waters which o
o he intends to explore. In early o
o spring the water is cool, and bass o
can be found in the shadows o
during the day, The likely o
places should be near the shell o
tering rocks in shoal water or o
o near old stumps and submerged o
0 branches. Pickerel also make o
o for the warm waters during the o
o day, and i'm casting during the o
0 early months of the season work o
o the shoal places well o
o The fish at this time feed on o
minnows and helgramites below o
the surface, and the logical bait o
TO use Is the underwater type. o
Two STYLES of bait casting are o
0 used, the overhead and the un- o
derhand casts, and 1t would be o
o well for the angler to master o
o both. The underhand cast Is o
made by reeling in the bait un- o
o til it is within six inches or so o
of the tip of the rod. The click o
and drag are released and the o
ball of the thumb is firmly press o
ed on the line of the spool. The o
rod is swung across the body to o
the rear, the tip being level with o
the anglers breast, then brought o
smartly forward across the body O
I'm the desired direction, while
the thumb is partly eased to al O
low the line to run freely.
The whole secret Of casting Q
lies in thumbing the line, and @
few hours of practice should suf- @
fee to demonstrate how the Q
trick can be accomplished. The Q
beginner. however, will find it Q
an advantage to practice casting @
o with full reel. and If the cast G
ing line Is not sufficiently long Q
enough to fill the spool guam Q
tity of string may be first spool
ed and the casting line wound on G
the core thus made. Considera-
BILE practice is, of course. neces- c
sary before the angler can cast G
long and accurately. and the c
thumb must be educated to reg c
ulate the speed Of the reel and c
allow it to travel freely, but not c

MOVE TO REPEAL
DIRECT PRIMARY
FORESHADOWED

Criticism OF the direct primary law
| under winch Hawaii has operated for
two general elections mas reached a
stage where sentiment is crystaliiZing
among members OF the next legisla.
ture Tor repeal of the law and return
TO the old convention system.
A strong effort To put through a
bill repeating the. law is foreseen by
seveTaI well-known Republicans. For
instance, Walter Coombs, Republican
| county chairman, is quoted as saying
that the reason his county committee
failed TO take action on February
to call a county platform convention
is because the next legislature will
probably knock out the nominating
primary and again revolutioniZe the
nominating system.
Members OF the Oahu delegation
have talked the matter over, though
so Tar as could be learned today there
has been nothing approaching definite
action. A few days ago a Oahu
senator told the Star-Bulletin that one
more trial would be given the pri-
mary law and then It would probably
be abandoned, as it has proved, he
to getting good men to run for office.
Two main objections against the
law are heard in political circles. The
first is that candidates must go
through two campaigns, the nominal
ing campaign and the general CAM
paign. which has proved expensive
and firing. The poor men are said to
feel that the expense of the primary
campaign is burden and the men
better off object to giving up so much
of their time 10 daily and nightly at
tendance on rallies, luaus and other
features Of campaign in Hawaii
The second objection is expressed
in the words of one Republican, who
says that good men refuse to run for
the nomination. They are willing to
run after being nominated in a con.
yention, but won't go through fight
to get the nomination. He says that
the businessmen of the community
could be assured, under the old con-
Vention system, Of swinging enough
influence and control to get nominal
tons for two or three first-class men,
but that under the direct primary that
Is no longer the case. "
There are prospects of a lively fight
If the movement actually goes the
length of introduction of a repeating
bill. Many supporters of the direct
primary law declare that while it
needs amendment, it should not be re.
pealed since it is putting politics be-
yond corporation control.
One amendment advocated is that
of keeping the parties rigidly, separate
at the primaries. 1t is suggested that
the Republicans and Democrats have
separate ballots, which would make
each party vote its own ticket and
stop the practice occasionally tried
of one party trying to secure the
nomination of the weakest men on
the opposing ticket in the hope of
beating these men in the following
general election.

Details Of police under orders Of
Ch1ef of Police d. A. White, swooped
down upon the district shortly after

mad one hour to pack up land get
out. In less than half that time the
narrow streets and alleys were filled
with girls and women carrying suit
cases, bird cages and articles Of finery.
NO attempt was made by the police
to arrest any of the inmates.
Hundreds of the 'morbidly curious
gathered. Moving picture operators,
clergymen, social service workers and
newspaper writer's hurried to the
scene
The action, which was ordered by
District Attorney Charles NJ. Fickert,

two weeks ago after vice conditions
had been exposed by the Rev. Paul
Smith. who charged that women solic-
