tournament. The committee of the
Congressional Club has no desire to
embarrass any other club by conflict
ing dates and will therefore not set
it's tournament dates until the sched-
ules of all other clubs are determined.
The Winter rules now in effect at
Congressional will be suspended for
the period Of the tournament, accord
ing to Chairman Coolican of the
green's and golf committee, for the
course, as whole, is in excellent con-
dition and will be better in October.
Congressional hopes to obtain the en-
tries of Max Marston, the present
amateur champion; Chick Evans of
Chicago. Bobby Jones and Francis
Ouimet, in addition to a few more top
notchers. If such players as these
come to Washington. it will be
great treat indeed.
Indian Spring Is playing Columbia
at Columbia this afternoon in a
regularly scheduled match of the inter-
club series. No matches were played
during August, leaving Chevy Chase
and Bannockburn comfortably in the
lead.
Gam you imagine Sam Dalzell,
cool, determined southpaw golfer of
the Chevy Chase Club. getting stage
fright in golf match? Not much.
Yet that is what happened recently
at the Thousand Islands, where Sam
is summering and where he and
another amateur played in an ex-
hibition match recently against
Hagen and kirkwood. Sam said he
got nervous when he made his first
few puts against the famous team,
but that soon wore off. The profess
sionals beat the amateurs by but
two holes in the best ball match.
The two District championships,
for men and women, are to be decided
golfers of the District start their
titular tilt week from tomorrow
at Columbia, with an 1S-hole qualify
ing round, the final match for the
title now held by Mrs. E. r. Tilley

Between the Little Falls and Great
Falls, before the recent muddy spell.
plenty of bass were reported to be
seen breaking water and good
anglers. This also applies to places
farther up the Potomac River above
the falls.
The best report to reach this COL
umn comes from Riverton, Va, To-
Gated in the Shenandoah Valley near
Front Royal, where it is said that the
best fishing in 90 years has been
had. Natives up there attribute this
fact to the Spring floods. which, they
say, washed out all the minnews and
the fish were hard pressed to find
something to feed upon.
One local angler who has just re-
turned from a two weeks stay re-
ported that during clear water a
5-pound bass was no exception, a
great number of that size being
caught. In fact. he said that the ma
jority of the fish landed were big
ones, and that the little fellows
caught were carefully unlocked and,
if uninjured in taking the bait, re-
turned to the water.
A good many reports have reached
this column about trot lines being
operated in the Shenandoah in the
RiveFton neighborhood. This is in
violation of the Virginia law and
means should be taken at once to
stop this illegal practice. The oper-
alton of trot lines works many hard
ships not only on the visiting angler.
but also on the natives. When a
nonresident goes into Virginia he
has to obtain - fishing license at a
cost of s2.50; then he has his hotel
bill to pay and railroad or other
travelling expenses. These items
mount UP and if he is deprived of
catching fish because some one else
is getting a majority of them by
illegal means, it will not be long be-
fore he changes his fishing grounds,
thus diminishing the revenue of the
State and also the hotel proprietor
or boarding house keeper. 1t Is to
be hoped that the wardens for War
rem County will stop this practice
Immediately.
One of the largest catches in any
one day reported from Riverton was
II bass. These were caught in the
native fisherman, but vouched for by
local anglers.
The 1924 Virginia fishing laws un-
der section 1909 contain a para
graph that should be of great inter
est to local anglers who have friends
or relatives residing in that State
which says that it shall be unlawful
for any nonresident of the State Cum
less such nonresident be the guest
Of an individual resident of the State)
to angle with pole and line or cast
or angle with rod and reel for fish
This means that you anglers who
have a friend or relative residing ir
Virginia and can get him to invite
you to pay him a visit can fish In
any stream in that state providing
your Invitation is in writing, which
has to be shown to the warden OF the
county when asked for.

h shows that as the water cools the
frequently.
Good, bad and indifferent reports
have come in from the salt water
fishing grounds. For some reason the
fish have not been biting freely at
these places and whether it is be-
cause the majority of hardheads have
left or because the trout are late in
making their appearance in umbers is
hard to say. One fact that is known
to exist is the number of purpose
and stingaree (sting ray) that play
havoc with fish and either drive them
off the known fishing grounds or keep
them from advancing up the bay and
Potomac River.
1t would seem from the good re-
ports that have come in that the lat
ter reason, driving them from their
favorite feeding grounds, is the more
logical one, because large trout and
rockfish have been caught in Herring
Bay and plenty of spot. good big ones,
landed at Shady Side. And plenty
of pan rock are reported at Annapolis.
The latest reports from salt water
grounds are that fishing is picking up
with leaps and bounds and that good,
big trout now are running.
At Rock Point last Sunday Capt.
Stein took his party out around No.
s buoy and reported that in a little
over an hour 200 trout, some weigh
ing six to seven pounds, were caught.
Evidently he knew where to locate
them, because the writer was out
later in the day and did not catch
over 25, which included only three
trout The perch and little spot
took off the bait as fast as 1t was
lowered, but every once in while
a good big spot was landed, showing
that these favorite table fish now are
| in those waters.

SIGNS DE PRESSURE

A Rhode Island cotton mill only fifteen years old is to be dismantled and its machin- cry will be moved to North Carolina. Until few months ago it employed 1000 hands. The agitation in. Rhode Island for 4S-hOur working week is given as the reason for moving. But that probably is merely idle words The tendency almost everywhere is for industries to get nearer to sources of raw materials or to seek special transportation advantages. American states, as well as many countries in the world, are showing a jealous desire to get more benefit out of their own natural resources. Commerce is appar- ently entering a period of feverish competi- tion, and that manufacturer has the best chances of profiting, it may be simply of surviving, who locates where economic wastes are few.-Toledo Blade

e THIRTY TO ONE

The Saturday tabulation of The Montgom- cry Journals popular ballot on the respec- tive plans of Muscle Shoals operation-the Ford offer; the power trusts proposal; the government ownership plan-shows 11,993 for Ford. SS4 for the power trust, and 10 for government ownership. This expression of thirty to one in favor of the Ford offer ap- pears to be generally representative of pub lie opinion all over this territory. In Mobile the count was approximately 12,O0O to 17 in favor of the Ford offer. In Nashville the proportion was equally heavy in favor of the Ford offer, as revealed in a ballot held by tho Nashville Banner. If Congress desires to discover the will of the people it is elected to represent, Congress should have no diff culty in perceiving the trend of popular de- sire. The Journal has also revealed the fallacy of the Montgomery Chamber of Com merce directorate's assumption that it rep resented the general view of that communi- ty in its expression of disapproval of Con- gressman Lister Hills courageous stand for what he believed to be the will of the people of his district and of Alabama on this Ques- ton.

Forum Of The People
ADVICE FROM A NON.REsIDENT

To he Editor of The Age-Herald
 Would you allow me to discuss in "rhe Forum of the People" column, the effort being made by the Chamber of Commerce of Birmingham and Mobile to make Mobile an entry port for immigrants in your sec tion of the country! For the one hundI ed per cent native-born white Protestant Gen tile Americans who would consider making either of the cities their home such a pro- gram would decidedly be bad medicine. And again is it necessary? Would they con- vert Mobile or Birmingham into another New York City! With it's teeming millions of aliens, people who il they lived in America for hundred years would still be aliens at Leart? People of Laiih civilization whn cannot grasp the i:laI ofa a.tnSi0-S;t.rr civIlI- zation. People who eve their first allegi- ance across the sea, and always will. hardly believe the people of the South would welcome such program as this. Why should the Chamber of Commerce foster movement of that kind? Do they need workers for the cities? Farmers for the country? If they do the North can supply them. All native board Americans, no Hunkies. People whom the state of Alabama can be proud of or any other Southern state. Law-abiding, peaceable, folk. 7. These people can be induced to move South, if the Chamber of Commerce will do little advertising and offset certain propaganda that has been circulated among
 
 there are only two classes of people in the South, aristocrats and negroes. That the Northern white man who works for living is looked down upon and that the Southern people will not associate with him. Off set that propaganda and the fight is won. A few advertisements in Northern papers, especially in the smaller cities, saying: Bir- mingham tor Mobile) needs men, fair wages, good working conditions, moderate living costs, good schools and churches: an ideal city. The South is calling you Mr. Working Man.
 Such an advertisement as this would bring results. An advertisement written in simi- lar view, appealing to the farmer, no doubt would do likewise. Make these people feel that you will treat them right if they come. And they will come fast enough. You won't need any foreigners or aliens after that.

The Orderly UniUersaL
Bx THE sPECTATOR

We must absolutely eliminate from, our be- lief that there is any such thing as luck Luck is merely the operation of some law that we do not understand. If we do, not comprehend why thing happens, that is no reason for believing that it happens for no. cause at all.
 For instance, we sometimes say, that such and such an event was the tourning point of our career We are mistaken. Our career has no turning point. Our destiny is not picking its way through labyrinth and de pending upon the right turning to gain its goal; it is like river flowing silently and surely in the channels of destiny.
 We say if we had not missed our train and hence found Robinson at the hotel. we would never have had that position offered us; as it is, our whole life has been changed.
 That is not true. if we had mot met Rob- inson we would have met somebody else if what happened to us had not happened some thin gelse would have happened.
 This mix-up of events, hit-and miss, luck mingled non-understandable this does not control our life. To believe that tdoes con 'trOl our life is to sink into the mire of super stition, and we get down to the level of the hOodOoism of the Jamaica negro, the fetich world of the Hottentot, the whim- guided uni verse of the medieval peasant.
 The difference between intellectual man hood and intellectual childhood is jus tthis
 
 workings of law, and the child-brain con ceives of events as the happenings of chance
 Belief ins luck, carried to it's logical ex- treme, means insanity.
 Belief in an orderly universe. even the most primitive belief, is an intelligent deity, is the beginning of sanity.
 Things happen as though by shaking dice Very true But the dice of God are always loaded.
 Certain great laws run through all men, all times. Find them. follow them, ride them and you will find that luck has trick of coming your way.
 And then. there is Me.
 The universe is but one-half of the sum {: l am the other half.
 When l die the other half ceases as far as am concerned, and that is all that mat ters.
 l, too, have my laws, my will, my disposing mind.
 What the universe will do to me is impor- tant, including luck What 1 will do to the universe is equally important.
 And if my feet are planted upon truth and not upon some spacious and comforting non facts; if my heart is running with fires from the central sun of love, if my mind is in tune with wisdom and fact and common sense; why, then the universe is my friend, the stars are for me. and God. whoever He may be. is holding my right hand.
