POLISH MOTHER
WRITES TO r. C.
Tells Gratitude of Her People
for American Aid.

The attitude and the gratitude Of the
Polish mother in regard to the American
Red Cross effort to send garments to
European children is aptly stated in a
letter recently received by the local Red
Cross Society from one of them, extracts
Of which FOLLOW:
1.-THE feeling Of mother is always the
same, rich or poor. When baby is
coming the itch mothers devote their
time to hunti e in all the finest stores In
town for the prettiest outfit for their
little baby; the dainty little dresses,
shirties with ribbon bows, a sweet crib
to hold the hearts treasures. What feel
ing must be in the heart of mother
whose darling has nothing, has positive
ly nothink not even a covering. Tue
baby is cold, there is no way to warm 1t,
It cries, and the mothers heart breaks.
"a layette for babies like the gener-
GUS, sweet American ladies have sent
through the American Red Cross-and
many have already reached our village
has always brought great happiness, and
when these poor mothers ask me how to
thank those who worked on these lay
cites, promised to thank in their name
every lady who has made one, or even
the smallest piece. ] also take this OPP
portunity to ask the American ladies as
we'll as the American Red Cross to keep
up this noble, generous work, for more
than ever your help is needed, and God
bless you for everything"
The American Red Cross, fourth floor
Chamber Of Commerce. has asked every
woman in Marion County to donate at
least two little garments for boy or
girl, If this is done the indianapolis
Chapter will be able to meet it's quota
Of 1900 layettes and 11,0O0 garments for
the children of Central Europe.

FISHING.
Q. What is the difference between wet
fly fishing and dry fly fishing for trout?


fly fishing and dry fly fishing for trout?
{. L.
A. In wet-fly fishing, the way com
monty used in this country, the fly is
merely a bunch of feathers tied to hook
and somewhat remotely resembling an
insect. 1t Is drawn across the water, the
motion being relied upon to attract the
trout. Dry-fly fishing represents per-
haps the highest development of the art
of attracting fish by artificial bats The
fly IS made Of feathers in such a way as
to resemble real insect almost exactly.
It is oiled 80 that it win float always
upon the surface of the water. 1t must
be cast with great exactitude and allowed
to float over the place where the trout
is supposed to lie. This method was
perfected in England where fish are more
scarce and wary than In America.
