/ While some persons experience the
greatest Of all thrills in pitting
themselves against the vehement
strike" Of hungry bass, there are
others who derive more honest en-
joyment out Of still fishing.
There is something powerfully
compelling in this LATEST Of all arts.
Still fishing is experiencing a con
slant growth in popularity because
Of it's wide appeal to the fishing
family.
BluegilEs in Lakes
All honors for making still fish.
ing what it is go to the bluegill,
overgrown cousin of the sunf1sh.
Bluegills like lakes. Their favorite
abode is along the recedlng line OF
a submerged sandbar, where the
water attains a depth Of from ten
to fifteen feet. Here they disport
themselves, frequently turning
their gunmetal sides to the suns
rays and rendering themselves Wis
ibla to the angler above.
Crickets and earth worms consti-
tute a definite part of the bluegill's
menu, and when these delicacies do
not tempt him there is no use fish
ign. A long cane pole is a neces-
sary part of the bluegill fisherman
equipment, for this variety of fish
has a particular aversion to making
his meal in the shadow Of a boat.
The line, equal in length to that
Of the pole for convenience sake,
should be equipped with a float, ad-
iusted to the depth the blue gills
are playing. Hooks should be small
enough to be completely covered
with an average-size cricket or an
inch of earth worm. 1t is well to
try a number Of spots before anchor
ing the boat, because sometimes the
blue gill isn't where one would
naturally expect him to be.
Fish Hooks Himself
Hooking, or gaffing, the blue gill
Is no trick at ALL The fish does
that all by himself, leaving moth
ing to the fisherman, but to
maneuver the pole. A one-pound
fish of this variety, and they do at
tain that size, will give a twenty
foot pole all the twists it can stand

Montgomery, Ala, Mar. 13.-Short-
age Of productive man power in the
eleven Black Belt counties Of Alabama
was dwelt upon in a talk before the
Montgomery Kiwanis Club Tuesday
BY Jesse B Hearin. Mr.. Hearin made
a number Of striking statements, based
upon his investigation of economic

other things he said:
There are but 5000 white men 2l
years Of age and above in the whole
Of Montgomery county.
There are less than 10000 white
men p years of age and over III the
eleven counties Of the Alabama Black
Belt.
Since the beginning Of the recent
migration Of Negroes from the South.
twice as many Negroes have left these
eleven Black Belt counties As there
are white men above 81 years Of age
in this section
Mr.. Hearin remarked about the high
quality Of the citizenship Of the Black
Belt, the natural fertility Of the Black
Belt soils, and said that ID his opinion
the whole problem revolves about this
question Of peopling the Black Belts
fertile lands. He said that this must
come before The South can hope to
get industries for the cities. Once

RACIAL DIFFICULTIES TO
CAUSE NEXT WORLD WAR

St. Louis, Mo, Mar. 13,-Deelaring
that the causes Of the last war were
national and that racial difficulties
would precipitate the next war, Lester
c. Haworth. general secretary Of the
YM.C.A., in an address made at the
Second Presbyterian Church Wednes-
day night.
"On account Of the fact that the
races Of the earth are inextricably
thrown together" Mr.. Haworth said,
there is little question but that the
ultimate political problem Of the world
viii be- How Can the Races Of the
Earth Dwell Together Peacefully
This question has gathered momen-
tum The politicians have failed to
offer a solution. Nor can the material
istic philosophers representing West
ern civilization offer an adequate solu-
ton.
Thinking men Of all races are re-
alizing as never before that the solu-
ton to the race problem must be
found in the practical application Of
the teachings Of Christ. It is in the
power Of Western civilization to de-
terrnine to what extent the Christian
religion is to be only white mans
religion. Some radical adjustment in
the thinking Of leaders of the Chris
tan church must come to pass if
Christianity at least within the next
few generations is to make a vital
contribution to the cause Of world
peace, which is now threatened by
racial misunderstanding, prejudice and
animosities.
America has the opportunity of
leading the way, for within her gates
the race problem manifests itself in
great variety Of ways. What shall be
our attitude toward the Orientals, Of
whom almost 100000 reside in Amer
lea? Their coming here was largely
at our request and their presence is
in accordance with Americas approval.
Even now the controversy can be set
tied amicably if America will take the
right attitude toward the Orientals
who are legitimately here"
