"FILE OFF THE BARBS."
A Writer Argues for General Use
of Barbless Fish Hook.
From the Outlook,


All those who know trout are
agreed that to break the protective
covering of slime upon their bodies
is to invite a fatal fungous disease.
They are equally agreed that any
damage to the Sills results in most
cases in death. This is the reason
why the barbless hook is fish pre-
servative of the first order.
In the hands of even a moderately
skillful fly fisher the barbless hook
is almost as efficient an instrument
as it's barbed rival. II the line is
kept properly taut the number of
fish lost particularly in lake fish,
ing) which would not have been lost
from barbed fly is negligible.
Wherein, then, we may be asked, lies
the advantage of the barbless va
rlety?
1t is to be found in this-the barb
less hook permits the careful angler
he does not desire to keep without
touching it with his hands. Small
fish which might be seriously injured
by barbed No. 10 or even a No. IL
can be released without the slightest
harm from barbless hook of the
same size.
There are still many waters in this
great land of ours which are so
amply stocked that there Is no real
excuse for fishing them with barb
ed hook. The sooner the barbless
hook comes into universal use the
sooner we can cease worrying lest
the recreation of trout fishing be lost
for our children.
If your tackle dealer is not pro-
gressive enough to carry barbless
hooks in stock, a small file will mod
ernize and humanize your barbed
hooks with neatness and dispatch. A
fly tiers wise Is a useful though not
a necessary adjunct for such an oper-
alton on what ought to be regarded
fashioned hook.

FEATURES OF THE WEEK
IN THE COTTON MARKET

, NEW YORK, September 15.-The
cotton market has shown continued
irregularity during the past week.
Various features have been comment
ed upon by local traders as tending
to strengthen confidence in the ulti-
mate value Of the staple. This, how
ever. has remained subject to feel
ing Of uncertainty with reference to
the absorption OF increasing new
crop receipts, and the action of prices
has reflected the conflicting influences
arising from such views of the stu
alton. It is hardly expected that gin
ming will have reached its height
much before the middle of next month
and traders feel that If the south
continues to sell freely the markets
will be called upon to absorb a good
deal of cotton during the next three
or four weeks. This idea would seem
to have been largely responsible for
the apparent tendency Of offerings
cent level. while the bullish view
Of ultimate values is said to have
brought in buyers on the compare
lively moderate declines.
Advfces received here from the south
claim that large spot interests have
been buying new crop cotton as
rapidly as offered, but this has been
reflected in hedge selling in the
futures markets, which has helped
to hold the advances in check. NeT-

NEW YORK, September 14.-Women

Little Eddie" Mallon, the watchdog
of the piers, whose job it is to spot"

quarantine. He lost himself as soon
the liner had reached the pier he
popped into view, sore and Disguised

in his face.
Il lost the Duchess again. ne
grumbled.
His story was brief. He had re-
ceived a wireless tip that there was
a woman aboard, aristocratic and cul-
tured; that she had been very sweet
to several of the man passengers, that
she had reluctantly consented to play
bridge practically every night at sea:
that she had collected rather heavily
at the end of each sitting.
Il talked to about five men about
her" continued Eddie, "and not one
would complain. She was a woman
they said and they were not willing
to accuse a woman of cheating at
cards. So | had to let the Duchess
come ashore and she has just passed
her baggage. She will probably be
back or the French line next week,
laughing a me.
That's the big trouble now. We
could beat the men at the game. but
