floaters are sufficient minnows for almost any waters of this section Usually a white or light colored floater, one or two dark gray ones and almost the same outfit as re- spects sinkers are sufficient. Care should be taken that the hooks are placed in two places only-at the tail and on the chest. The multiplicity of side hooks are seldom successful The minnows should be of small or me dium sizes. Large lures are usually failures. Spnners are helpful as a rule
 Sudden Jerks of Rod
 When the cast is made and the reel-work begins sudden jerks or tne rod at intervals of three or TOUT revo. lutions, are quite effective. They produce the impression on the fish that the minnow is making desperate efforts to escape, and that excites the pugnacious impulse of a game fish even if he is not hungry It is important. too. to keep the lure nov ing constantly with more or less commotion so that the fish cannot discover the trick.
 Another essential for success is for the caster to stay sufficiently distant to prevent uGltCllOH by lnt fish. If a fish sees you before he sees your lure. you may as well go after some other fish. l have seldom gotten rise from a fish that saw me before my bait was thrown in his direction. And such thing as a rise from a rainbow or brook trout after he has seen the fisherman is almost unknown.

The brown haekle, black gnat kand de Mile cover the ground pretty well for darker colors. The Maine doctor, beaver-kill and gray gnat often prove successful. I do not be- | lieve there Is any better fly, as gen eral proposition, than the brown hackle. At least such has been my experience in many waters through out widely separated localities, and especially when fishing for cold-wa- ter trout.
 Keep Out of Sight
 But whatever fly is used, the caster should be careful to remain out ot sight of the fish and learn to put his lure right up under bushes, brush old logs CT stumps where bass, bream and other fish usually feed or loaf The e4isherman can talk all he wishes 1 fish under water cannot hear the hu- man voice. But he should be care | ful to avoid any jar on the bank, any unnecessary commotion of the water from his boat, and the like. Value of Spinner
 Many fishermen have inquired whether I use spinner In fly-fishing Yes, invariably. except for cold water trout They are always found in very clear waters and much more easily make out the lure when accom- panied by a spinner, with the result that they become frightened and dart away.
 But in the waters of this locality the spinner is necessary. If your fly is small. a bream fly. for example your spinner should be proportionate though it makes little or no differ ence whether round or oval shape bt used, or whether the color be nickl'

NATIONAL VICE COMMANDER

National Vice Commander George l.. Berry had hoped to be in Bir- mingham for the legion meeting last night, but was prevented from com ing by reason of his attendance upon conferences in Washington.
 Colonel Berry is one of the right hand men in the official family of the national body of the legion in the new administration. Colonel Berry has fine army record, fine legion record and is one of the able leaders in organized labor in the southern states. Comrade Berry snares com missioner Harrisons views in the matter of the mutual purpose and re- iationship between labor and the le- zion. The colonel points out that in the very nature of things, in large measure. the nations fighting and the nations work must be done bs those physically fit, which Is to say the young men of the nation now constituting the American Legion.

This is easy to understand.
First Of all, in the provinces, where
distances are short and the pro-
ducers always at hand. one has
time to cook. and. as a general
rule, with the exception Of GER

to hasty preparation. time is one
Of the supreme elements Of good

In the second place. the cost Of
living Is assuredly not so high at
Saint-Lo, at Perigueux, or at

can therefore more easily buy the
choicest food, and above all more
literally use butter. which Is, what
ever you may say. with certain
