BROOK TROUT ARE DEcREAsINc
By GEORGE E. CASE.

By GEORGE B. CASE.
 (An Expert on Fish and Fishing.)
 Generally speaking the trout season is on. the various states have different opening dates, varying from April 1 to May 1.
 The brook trout, the beauty of all the trout with his beautiful olive colored back marked somewhat like turtle this marking extending up into the dorsal fin. his side shaded to a pink and his belly white, the pectoral, ventral and an- al fins beautiful pink tipped with white. His sides are spotted with red surround ed with light blue and covered with scales so small they can scarcely be seen. The brook trout is one of the gamest lit tie rascals that swims He seldom leaves the water as other trout do when being played This little prince of the stream is fast disappearing, due to ad- vanc1ng civilization. In many of our boyhood trout streams and brooks he is totally extinct This has been brought about by the disappearance of the for ests, for the forests disappear the tiny 93ooks vanish.
 In the larger waters industries have robbed the streams of their original pureness by pollution. Federal and state commissions are doing much to maintain a supply of trout in the larger streams and to. keep down contamination. It is | hoped that some day pollution problems will be solved and the streams kept clean and pure. This must be done in the east | to Save out most beautiful game fish. I In the west where this little battler has been introduced to the pure mountain l streams he has been given a new lease of life. The time may come. when outside l of a few game and fish preserves of l clubs in the east it will be only in the i western states that brook$trout may be found. It is disheartening to think of 1 the passing of the brook trout.
 l It is also disheartening to know that your angling record of last year was worse than the year before and this year it may be worse. AS we fare forth this
 spring Jet us be a conservationist each
 and every one, and also be human. When you have netted your quarry your first duty is kill the fish by striking him on the head with your landing net handle or
 the back of your knife. A true sports
 man and angler will not allow his fish to die lingering death. Remember that a fish suffocates out of water
 If he is little feller," don't look to

WANT USE OF A TRANSPORT
 FOR OLYMPIC TEAM

New York, May 6.-Members of the American Olympic committee will appear before the house committee on military affairs in Washington next week to plead for thesuse of a government transport for the United States team which will com pete in the Olympic games at Antwerp next August.
 According "to a statement tonight by Gustayus T. Kirby, president of the Olympic committee, commercial steam ship travel conditions are Ich that it is doubtful if really representative team can be sent to Belgium unless govern ment assistance can be obtained.
 Tentative transportation has been booked for a portion of the team on a steamer sailing from this port on July 24. but athe committee has no positive Rssurances thas accommodations will be available for the number of athletes re- quired to compete in the lon gprogramme prepared for the international meet. Un- certainty en this point is said to be ham, pering the committee in its preparations for the selection of the best athletes in all parts of the country.
 A bill amending the law to permit the use of a government transport by the American golympic team was introduced and pa3s9d in the senate several weeks ago. but Similar action by the house has been delayed until the members of the American committee fear serious difi- culty win be encountered in transporting the fdii quota of athletes to Antwerp unless some form of official recognition Is accorded the United States entrants ( tthe Belgium games.
