OPEN SEASON ON BASS FINDS
DISTRICT ANGLERS EAGERLY
PLANNING POTOMAC OUTINGS

Armed with rod and reel, hum
dreds of anglers will appear on the
banks of the Potomac today In
quest of the elusive bass. While the
season for bass opened in the Dis
trict on Decoration day. many an
glers had to postpone their outings
because of the muddy condition OF
the water.
The season for taking bass in
Maryland and Virginia opened
June 1.
Despite the muddy water, 1t Is
reported, seme rock fish have been
hooked" in the Potomac.
Good Catches Reported.
Anglers who spent the holiday at
Rock Point. Benedict, Chesapeake
beach and other nearby points, had
better luck than those who were
afraid to venture to the resorts be-,
cause of the overhanking skies and
were content, with taking their
chances in the Potomac's muddy
water.
Several anglers at Rock Point and
Benedict Braved the storm last Mon
day and caught large strings from
the motor launches. while those who
f1shed from the pier at Chesapeake
beach had quite a number of hsh
in their baskets when they decided
to 'call it day"
With the opening of the bass sea-
son. the matter of proper bait Is
puzzling question to some anglers.
The white wood grub, found in de-
cayed logs and stumps and under
logs on the. ground, has proven fine
bait for bass and wall-eyed pike.
The hook should be run lightly
through under the skin and along
the entire body, in this way circling
the hook and part of the body. The
grub should be used as a still-fish-
ing bait. When let down in the
pools, 1t should be. given a little
motion by raising and lowering the
tip of the rod.
Another bait that is exceptionally
good for the smaller streams is the
small black cricket. The cricket
should be used on a very small
hook. tfeinS it on the hook around
the body. aving the legs for kick
ing purposes.

have had more rear axle trouble
than all other owners of that make

than five differential gears and have
about given up. The last pair of

good handling of the car. At the
same time the gears last installed

you suggest a make of axle / can

France Imports Some
 Whisky to Satisfy the
 Demands of Tourists
By Associated Press

Paris, September 3.-The French government has been compelled to permit the transportation into France of a limited amount of whisky and gin to satisfy the demands of the tourists here from foreign countries. Such imports had been prohibited since the war, and as a result, the prices of cocktails and highballs scared In proportion as the supply of gin and whisky diminished.
 Foreigners residing here have made desperate efforts to obtain tsod whiskys from England and Scotland and have been compelled to pay ex- tremely high prices for 1t. Reports of a grea tamount of smuggling indi- cate that the foreigns have about as much difficulty obtaining their fla vorite brand of whiskq as they do nAmerica.
 The government realized that after the tourist seaso began it was losing a large amount in duties. The min ister of finance, therefore, wass au- thotized to permit hotels, restaurants and cafes to import enough spiritual nauor to satisfy the demands of their foreign clients.

 Despite the fact that the story is
