UNITARIANS RELY ON
PRIVATE JUDGMENT

In the Unitarian Church yester-
day the Rev Or. ". a. Vrooman, in
the course Of his sermon. said the
mental attitude OF orthodox Chris
tianity was submission 10 the au-
thority OF church. or Bible or creed.
People were taught TO learn first
what they ought 20 believe and then
to go on believing It. whether It was
true or not. A text Of scripture or
an ancient creed was made sufficient
reason for disbelieving a fact Of
scrience or a conclusion Of reason.
he said. The scientific attitude. how
ever. was to prove all things and to
hold fast that which is good"
"Unitarianism." he added "is the
effort 20 carry the scientific spirit
into religion and unite It with prac-
teal Christian living Hence Uni

out with logical consistency the

Domestic Mr., Bass.

During the spawning season the
male remains on the nest during
the entire period of incubation,
never eating, but tanning the eggs
clean of sediment with n gentle
motion of his fins and watchfully
guarding against the encroachment
of other fishes on his domain.
Noted for his fighting ability. all
other creatures Id the water have
the greatest respect for him,
Nothing but the death or loss OF
the eggs from low temperatures or
heavy deposits OF sediments will
cause him TO leave his nest.

Handling Fish.

Bass under nine inches in length
must be returned TO the water
when caught. This is required by
law. Fish hooked only in the
mouth are in no way harmed. Pre-
caution should be taken in holding
them when removing the hook, al:
ways take them by the mouth and
never by the gills. Loosening, or
rubbing off of scales induces a
fungus growth which will event
ually spread over the body and re-
suit fatally.

BASS SHOULD
RUN TRUE TO
FORM SHORTLY
Big-Mouthed camesters Ex-
pected to Be Biting in Earn
est by Middle of August.
BY r. A. ANGLER.

IF fish dope means anything,
then, according to past per-
= formances the big-moutheG
eamesters should be hitting the
lures within the next couple of
weeks. OF course few real
hungry fellows are being caught
now, but If you should ask any
of the old-timers just when to
start bassing he would more than
likely tell you by the middle Of
August.
The creeks OF the lower Potomac
afford the angler some rare sport.
both with artificial and live baits.
Bass are plentiful and few anglers
who understand the art of bass
fishing return home fishless.
Bass Crafty. -.
, / remember on one occasion last
fall, after trying all of my favorite
holes without success, was about
to call IL day, when pulling up
stakes chanced TO look up the
creek, a bass had just broken at
a point where / least expected.
Proceeding near to the spot made
a cast and Immediately got
strike. Before the sun had disap-
peared had landed thirteen
gamesters; six measuring thirteen
inches each and the remaining
seven totaled fourteen inches
apiece.
So Il all goes to show that you
can never figure ,out just where
the crafty tribe may be located.
Bass are moody, today they may
be feeding in deep water and on
the morrow they may be hunting
for food on the marshes in water
not more than a foot in depth.
Bats Used.
AS to which bait gets the big
fish depends entirely upon how the
gamester is feeling-he may be
hungry, playful or angry.
He may charge and devour a
live smelt like glutton, then again
he may approach the captive balt,
give il a push with his nose and
swim away with disgusted coun-
tenance, If fish have such a thing.
Presently something makes
quick dart under water or on the
surface and Mr.. Bass is in hot
pursuit. madder than a hornet.
Possibly that something is a bright
ly painted piece Of wood. carved to
resemble, an aquatic creature orSi IT
may, perchance. be a bunch OF
waterproof feathers from some
waterfowl made to represent
bug or insect. ...
The bass, noted for his game
ness. may run true to form and
attack the artificial lure, only to
find to his sorrow that he has
been grossly fooled.
So you can never quite tell which
bait viii bag record fish. This
was never more fully proven than
last year in the Atlas contest. Paul
Barstow, bassing with an artificial
lure, black gnat, landed prize
winning six and one-half.pound big
mouthed bass and right on his heels
comes W. T. Knowles, with four
pound, three-ounce small-mouthed
gamester lured by live smelt.
