Another Lake in Florida
 Which Abounds in Fish
Hidden Writes of Sport at Apopka, Where Large Mouthed Bass Run High as Eight and Ten
 Pounds and Sometimes More
By ROBERT G. HIDDEN

most of our southern fresh water fish usually stay around or near rushes. reeds old logs and the like. Not so in this case. The guide an chored far from any growth. A single stake marked the place.
 Not until we opened three pcunder was the secret revealed. At the bottom. some eight feet deep, was a prolific moss growth. more or less infested with tiny worm. This explained the presence of hundreds of bass in those open waters. 1t was fine natural feeding grounds for the fish.
 After taking a few with artificial lures, the guides recommendation to shift to live minnows prevailed, and the fun started. Our sinners" were large and lusty. Few were smaller than mans forefinger- some were about as long as your hand and weighed nearly a quarter of a pound. Would you believe lit- tie bass weighing scarcely more than half pound could negotiate one of these big "shiners?" But they did time and again, sometimes entirely swallowing the bait.
 The Days Catch
 
 the hours were quite unfavorable, from il a. m. to 3:30 p. m., yet my catch was 31 bass varying in size from half pound to four and a half pounds. The catch weighed 5s pounds, besides several pickerel and perch and few catfish which were not counted.
 used a light fly rod and reel with an ordinary bob. The sport was fine My largest bass made no less than four leaps several feet above the waters surface, and once plunged under the boat to the opposite side He was allowed about 50 feet Of line and he put up spirited fight Several days at Lake Apopka proved excellent sport. They didn't tell me 1t was too hot, too cool, toe wet, too dry or too something or other. If you'd just been here 1o days ago" and all that sort of thing. The fish are there in large quantities and they can be easily taken by any fairly good angler who likes the game. Even when returning to head quarters after the real fishing. six fine bass were picked up trolling with a spoon.
 Lake Apopka, the second largest in Florida, is easily accessible by train or motor car. Stop at Winter Garden. a country town two miles from the lake. Rates for hotel, gui 1e and boat are quite reasonable. There are few places in the south where better fishing can be had A com bination duck and bass trip there in winter will afford fine outing.

Your rod and reel expert can find the Dig uns" at Lake Apopka, down in central Florida, through the spring. in fact, nearly all the year. Fall and winter fishing there Is good better than the summer months. It's hot from June to October not to speak of swarms of gnats. March is an ideal period in that region for fresh water fishing
 No states. with the possible excep- ton of Minnesota and Wisconsin, can boast of so many lakes varying in size from New acres to bodies of water 25 miles wide in some places. as In the case of Lake Apopka, the second largest in Florida. At some points on this splendid inland sea" one can scarcely see across.
 A friend from Miami took me In his motor car from Jacksonville to Orlando, about 180 miles, in six and a half hours actual running time. From this you can get an idea of those fine brick highways. We met literally hundreds of cars Of all va rieties working their way back from
 
 "tin-can tourists'' in their flivvers. each bearing the TT. C. T." sign con spicuously displayed. and carrying small camping outfits. Most of the tourist towns In Florida have places set aside in their suburbs for these people and provide free lights and water at the camp sites.
 But to the fishing in Lake Apopka. I 1 1ror ra m rItt ln ful. They run as high as eight and ten pounds. Occasionally 15- pcunder, or even larger, is taken. The lake has all kinds of cover such as rushes. lily fields, wooded shore lines, some cypress patches and ex- tensive moss beds. It's ideal for bass, while bream and perch, not to speak Of catfish and drum, are more or less plentiful.
 jitney carried me from Orlando to Winter Garden, Is miles, in 30 minutes. Those Florida roads have long since paid for themselves in attracting tourists and spor.smen, who leave millions of outside money in the state annually.
 Two miles from Winter Garden you get your motor boat with a couple of skiffs. An old -timer"- regular "water-rats," as they are called down there-soon catches a hundred or more "shiners," and pilots you to some favorite feeding ground of the bass. Frequently, as in my case, this is out in the open a mile or more from any sort of grass or timber cover. I could mot under stand it at first. Bass, bream and

Mystery seems to surround the train wreck. As I understand IL, the spikes were pulled out from around one of the rails which. when the train ran across it, caused the rails to spread. The engine and the first four coaches were piled up together, but the dining car and the Pullmans stayed upon the tracks and the occupants of these were only bad ly shaken up. The wreck caused considerable excitement though and, as it was my first experi- ence in a train wreck, naturally I was excited, too. However, I am glad that it was no worse than what 1t was and sincerely hope the authorities in their in- vestigations will hunt out the guilty ones which caused the wreck and endangered the lives of so many people"

DESTITUTE CASES
 SHOWN BY RECORD
Unemployment and Sickness Bring Much Distress and
 Privation In District

New cases of suffering and priva-
 ton caused by unemployment are de-
 veloping daily now. as the funds
 which had been saved are giving out
 after long periods without work
 Eighty families declared to have not
 more than two days food in sight de-
 veloped yesterday. Temporary emer- gency rations for one day were given
 where necessary, and investigation as to conditions and how to handle the cases are under way.
 Many pitiful cases are shown by a perusal of the records on file at the welfare department of the city, the
 Red Cross. the Salvation Army and
 the State Federation of Labor. A father, mother and five children, the youngest only years of age. have only one day's food on hand
 They are absolutely penniless and
 have sold some of their furniture to feed themselves. The man worked
 for the Tennessee company for Is
 years, and had a good record, but has
 been out of work for some weeks be-
 
 forces. He has thus far been unable to get steady work. but by taking
 any odd jobs available has partly supplied food. The sale of part of the furniture has also helped tide them over. The city welfare depart ment has thus far waved thom rom actual suffering.
 A man, wife and three children. | n 0 a weeks food supply in sight Tho man
 has not had days work for seven
 months He was released from the tuberculosis camp only two months ago, and while not in good health, is able and anxious to do fight work.
 The family is living on the earnings of the mother, who works for $5 per week. This Is not considered suffi- cient to support five people. espe- cially since the father needs good food to prevent tuberculosis, and the
 small children must have better
 grade of food. These were thrifty people. who were buying home and furniture, but they lost both after the father developed tuberculosis and was unable to work.
 A father, mother and 2-year- old child ares entirely dependent on friends and tho city for food. They
 had saved considerable amount, but father was out of work for several months. Then got temporary work, but became seriously i'll and rest of savings were spent. Mother unable
 to work and in need of serious op- l eration at once. In one family are the father, mother and seven children including twins. | 8 years of age. All children are too small to work and entire time of the mother is taken up with their care and household duties. The father has been out of work for sometime and | the family is living from day to day on food supplied by charitable or ganizations, During the time he was | employed the father made only a | moderate salary and was unable to
 save anything after supporting fam l fly of nine.
