tions of rich alluvial soil. With
every meander cut off, the speed of
the current was increased and the
destruction of other meanders hast
ened. The melancholy history may
be read in the numerous dry chan
nels now completely foresaken and
several feet from the present
stream bed.
Ten years ago, there was excellent
fishing for half mile below the
bridge near the Les Hanson farm.
During that time regeneration has
travelled up stream and has all bue
ruined the pools Immediately above
and below the bridge. The channel
under the bridge was rather resis-
tent because Of the coarse material
left there when the bridge was built,
but already it has been deepened by
a foot or more and the pools above
correspondingly lowered.
There is no prospect that the for
es so thoughtlessly let loose will stop
at this point. If not restricted, they
will certainly operate above the
bridge as they have below it, thus
destroying the last remnant of
fish life in the South Fork as well as
running the fields and endangering
the bridge. This bridge marks the
last line trench. It is the strategic
point from which fight to save the
South Fork must be launched.

1t is assumed that the tackle Sc
lected Is correct, that it is of good
quality, and selected with a view to
perfect balance. For the first les
sons in casting, select day free
from wind, and location in which
there is no danger of interference
with the fly on the back-cast. Do
not choose a road or other bare
ground, because, by so doing, the
line may be ruined thereby.
If the practice is to be done on the
lawn, clip off the hook from the fly
with a pair of nippers. If done upon
the water, this is unnecessary. In
rifle shooting it is possible to des-
cribe correct position of The body

possible because of the fact that
the fly man will assume almost any
conceivable position while operating.

often done with an insecure footing,

Breathless situations in pure COM

the most entertaining pictures of the
season.

Observation Ship Is Far
Superior in Every De-
tail, Says Pilot.

A new type of observation plane
which. officers believe, will replace the
DH-4B, is creating widespread inter
est in army circles in San Antonio.
1t is the Douglas 0-2 that visited Kelly
Field, en- route from Santa Monica,
Cal, TO Washington. 1t is flown by
First Lieutenant Earl S. Hoag.
The % is probably the neatest look
ing ship in the service, and in the
words of Lieutenant Hoag, it flies
even "better than it looks"
The OF is an Observation type plane
and will replace the DH-4B.
1t has a cruising speed of Is to %
miles an hour more than the latter,
and top speed 80 or 40 miles faster
than the OH.
1t climbs faster and higher than the
OH and is more maneuverable in ev-
cry way.
The 0-2 carries twice the fuel sup
ply Of the oh and will fly more than
twice as far without having to have
its tanks refilled.
Although the O-2 is new and
comparatively untried type of ship,
it has a safety factor that should
help to eliminate the danger of fire
after crashing that has made the
DH-4B one of the most dangerous
types of ships.
The greater part of the gasoline
supply is carried in two tanks in the
lower wing that can be released in
flight in case of a forced landing in
rough country or under conditions
that seem likely to result in a crash.
Visibility from the pilots cockpit
is very good, Lieutenant Hoag states,
and the plane has floating qualities
similar to the big air transports built
by the same company.
The War Department has pur-
chased 70 of the ships, and 81 of that
number have already been assigned to
Kelly Field.
1t is expected another order will
assign about IA more of the ships to
Kelly Field, making a total of So for
the Tenth School Group and Third
Attack Group.
Lieutenant Hoag made the trip from
San Diego to San Antonio in two
hops.

AGGRESSORS MUST
PAY PREPARATIONS

GENEVA, Dec. 14-[P)-The coun-
Gil of the League of Nations created
two important iuridical precedents TO-
day which will be of great significance
in its future efforts to maintain world
peace.
First, it laid down the principle that
reparation must be paid for the viola
tion of territory without sufficient
cause even when the aggressor nation
considers its action justified. Second,
it initiated system for the appoint
ment of neutral officers to preside
over mediation along potentially dan
gerous frontiers.
