THE JOY OF CATCHING CARP

flick, snapped from running line. But. at least, we were able to prove the new book wrong about the wealth CT, and the old book right about the bait. The catch was brace and a half, each fish over 31h h. It might have been much bigger, but we have no place yet in which to keep the fish alive (and somehow do not fancy the monkish device of laying them in the cellar on wet moss and feeding them); and these were all that the lardef immediately needed For we were fishing deliberately for the lard CT. Whether in the fourteenth or in the seventeenth century the pond was stocked for the larder, in days when the only fish you could get was the fish caught close at home. And now adays, for economy in money, trans port, coal. and fsherman's lives, it is again a duty, as well as a pleasure,
 to catch and cook your carp. We could not rise to Izaak Walton's re- | cipe as readily as the carp had risen to his paste. He mentions eggs as if they were silver in King Solomon S l days, and wine, and butter, and be- | wiidering variety of herbs. But. well stuffed and well baked, one of the l carp and the roe made good war l time meal for seven people; and as we ate it, the ghosts of our pred eeessors ih the house to smile on the sight of carp from their pond being once more eaten in their stone -ioored l blaclS-beamed dining-roorn.
 Between the joy of catching and the
 joy of eating had come the joy oi l locking Of all fish the carp is thf most bautiful Critics tell us that

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are eontiH- ually being advertised for the puEpose of making thin people heshy, develop ing arms. neck and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft. curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keealy feel their excessive thinness.
 ThinRess and weakness. are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this defi- eiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro,-phos-

STORIES OF TIE WAR
An Airnan With 75 Victories.

An Airman With 75 Victories.
 One Of our famous airmen has shot down 25 German machines in the course of a single month, bringing his total victories up to 75i and we have others with over 50 victories to their credit.
 Air fighting, however, is only one manifestation and symptom of what is going on. The real thing that counts is that the mastery obtained by our fighters enables the Air Force as a whale to carry on it's great work Of observation and photography and general cooperation with other branches of tbe Army. It is the VOL umc and quality of this work which make it possible for our artillery to do immense damage to enemy troops and guns.
 Our bombing. also. IS superior to the enemys. Not only are the num- Der of machines employed iR, this work the number of raids made, and the number of bombs dropped much greater than the German. but, besides doing great proportion of our bombing by day instead of at night, like the enemy, we constantly now drop our bombs from heights of only a few hundred feet. or even less than a hundred, while the Germans, with rare exceptions, keep to something like 10000 1t. The difference in ac- curaey of aim and n1agnitude of re- suits is obvious. Practically all the air fighting has for a long time been well east of the lines and over ene- my territory, but beyond this zone ] of fighting our bombers almost daily push farther and fartler, ard our ow-Hying machines, with bombs and | machine guns harass the enemy | farther and farther back.
 In the recent Australian fighting onr airmen found divers new ways of making themselves useful during bat | tie and helping to contribute to vic
 tory, and it is far from being in air combats alone that they show initia- | tive and inventive resource.

OUR GREAT ARMY.

America now has a million and a quarter of fighting men in France; and a million. men at home who will be constantly under arms for any de- fensive movement. and hundreds of thousands of other troops who are destined to be in the advance upon Berlin.
 We do net think of the quieting force of this permanent million of home soldiers known as the Home Guard, who are ready for any emer- Eency.
 The Bridgeport Telegram is right when 1t says:
 No one can doubt that the Con necticut home guard has been a most useful body. It is not that it had to do serious service. but that it was at hand tosact if the emergency demand ed. It represented preparedness al it's best If Britain had been able tc throw a million men into France in stead of sixty thousand at the start this war would have been over two years ago. So with the United tSates With a million men available in 1917 the German spring offensive would not have been possible Because ", had the Home guard in Connection many a disturbance by the secre plotters was no doubt prevented. D. not forget that"
 While many are inclined to hold tn Home Guard in light esteem they ar ;s dependable patriotic deterrent fore to whom we owe much even thougl they are never called to active ser yice

sToop IMpAKTlAL INSPECTION

It Is not strange that lighters con- taining 13O, 900 feet of planking built in 24 hours. and 5000 ton ships built and launched in 24 days, and destroy CTS put into service 70 days from the keellaying, when it was never be- fore done in a year. excite distrust as to their durability or serviceable- ness.
 But the first quick built ship to cross the Atlantic. was of $500 tons burthen, built at Seattle; and on her arrival in England a committee of British ship builders asked permis- sion to inspect her, and they went over her with diligence. or as the captain puts it, searched her with a microscope: and had nothing but the highest praise for her stunchness and se3worthiness. They O-K-ed her as the equal of any Clyde built shin much longer on the ways.
 American ships are hitting the wa ter just now faster than the ships of any other nation. and they are as good as the best.

An English fisherman writes to the London Times this story of ancient methods of taking carp:
 One end of the big, shallow pond lies close under the west wall of the house; and here the water is inyis- ible for yellow flags, water lilies, and some large-leaved aquatic plant that we have not yet identified. Three quarters of the surface are clear; and at the far end the little stream that bounds the garden flows through the pond, keeping it clean and bringing in food for such coarse fish as may live in it. The house is old; the new est part was built in the Protectorate, and much of it is centuries older than that And the pond is probably older than the house; the reason why the house was built here. We learned very quickly that there were plenty of perch and eels in it; but we had also heard tell of carp-carp, as we
 liked to think, put in by some four teenth or fifteenth century inhabitant of the little house, carp which. as the squire's keeper assured us, ran to 10. to 20, yes, to 30 ID. And carp, that
 summer morning, was what we
 strolled out to seek
 According to the book which, un-
 used to the ways of carp, we had not been too proud to consult, the wealth CT was all wrong; it was a brilliant day; with a stiff breeze blowing. And for some reason (perhaps because all the birds in the county seem to live in the wood beyond the stream, and cannot satiate their appetites on our strawberries and entrants and peas)
 worms are very hard to find But there was another book on fishing ir 1 the house, a book called The Gem pleat Angler" of date very conso-

 The paper mills are under govern ment control and this amount of pa- per will be reduced from regular con tracts in order to make this ruling apply alike to all papers in the ceun- try.

A sToNE-WALL.

It was near Sergy that the Ameri- can forces and the famous Prussian Guards. as dependable German shock troops. first met: and there that our men won their first compliment from tho most formidable force the Grown Prince could throw against them to save Sergy from capture.
 The herceness and valor of these hardened troops is symbolized by a death head badge worn on their hats indicating that they die but never re- treat. They did not expect to lose Sergy to our American troops. but they did.
 The Prussian Guards find in the Americans men worthy of their steel and they were defeated. Sergy was lost to the Germans after the con tending parties had captured and lost & Ssas times. and the tenth time

What the Germans are up to has not yet been shown, but there is no reason to doubt the. conclusion
 reached on general principles, that q desperate effort will be made to score some sort of success to hearten Germany The British are showing increased expecta- tion of attacks, but if the Germans make such an effort it would more probably be in Flanders than in the Picardy salient, where they have been abandoning positions which had chiefly offensive value.
