 There I got my first strike which is fast-water fishing lan- guage for "bite." And with jus tice. For trout in fast water do not simply bite; they coil with ali strength into strike, lunge, g. ravenous, murderous grab.
 And when they thus strike the thrill of it runs up the leader to the pole, down the pole to the arm and the tips of the toes, an(. then up through every part O, the body to the base of the brain.

This, it seems, was Test Two, and I'd muffed it.
 Shortly after Picture One I ex- perienced my first big accident Phillips and Hogan had gone, se- parately, upstream. Ray, lead ing me downstream had equip ped my line with a Buddy Bop hy-a species of silken insect or iginated, he said by our friend Phillips, and named by him for his grandson. Ray, moreover had shown me just how to play out my line from the reel and how to make casts. It was much he explained, like cracking a whip over a team of six and touching, say, the off leader neatly on the tip of the tallest hair of the left ear. He praised extravagantly my first attempts; then, With the squirming eager ness of a schoolboy hearing dis missal bell, he plunged on ahead.
 It was now perhaps eig ght o'clock in the morning. The sun was hot on the back of the neck and the air was of the Montana Rockies-dry, electric, seeming " slightly to lift the whole body with every breath. I stood brac- ed in my boots toward the mid dle of the river with hastening tons of snoW-cold water, crystal clear, thrust against my legs. And it was the waters of the riv- CT, not my merely human legs, that were giving up the fight, breaking to the right and left, tumbling away. It is such a phe- nomena that make a man proud and happy, I thought; and then remembered my preacher friend and what he said about fast-water fishing being a con- test, and I laughed at myself and at him and at all men, so credulous, so small, yet so vain- glorious, always so eager to prove that amid the immensi- ty of everything they, at least,

Slate gray water OuZelS, a rare forest fastWater bird, dipped and sWayed These too were living creatures, I reflected, but mere vital accessory parts of world wholly mine.
 At this point in my medita- tiOns I made a thoroughly cock eyed cast and hooked the first poor fish of the day-an eastern sucker. By some curious manip- ulation my feathered hook had not only missed the rifles twenty feet ahead, but had travelled all the way back around my head, and now sat lodged, gayly color CT feathers and all, deeply in the heshy under part of my neck be- tween the Windpipe and the chin.
 It did not seem to hurt very much until I gave it a tug, and then it hurt like forty thousand devils. l stood there in the mid dle of the river considering what to do. I felt remarkably foolish standing there, like a man sud- denly beWitched with a fanciful dab of brightly cOlOred chin Whiskers, connected to his hand by a steel rod and an intricate tangle of string.
 Starting to wade ashore I stepped on a slippery rock and went completely under. The riv- CT carried me-chin-barb, tack le and all-for maybe ten feet before I found footing and Wad- ed out. I sat pondering for the short while that it takes in Montana to dry off.

HOUSE MAY DEFER JONES 'DRY BILL
Action at This Session of Con-
 gres Extremely Unlikely

Washington, Feb. 20 ~ - Safely through the senate, with votes to spare. the Jones bill to increase pen a" s for prohibition violations now goes to the house, but it Is problem atical whether any action will be taken on it there at this session, or at the special session to come. The present session is fast drawing to a close and legislators have practically agreed that only farm relief and tariff revision will be taken up at the special session.
 Opponents of the Jones measure held their own ir the debate that centered about 1t, but they fell short " hen the balloting began. The vote was 65 to IS.
 The ill increases the maximum penalty for first violations of the prohibition laws to a fine of $10.- GOO, or five years in prison, or both. The maximum penalty for first vio- lations is at present fine of $l.00O. or six months imprisonment, or both and for second offenders a fine Of $2,Oo0, with five years imprison- ment. Minimum penalties were not changed.
 Not For Petty OGenses The bill was not aimed at petty or casual offenders. A provision in- serted by the senate declared that judges when imposing sentences should discriminate between casual CT slight violations and habitual sales of intoxicating liquor or at tempts to commercializc violations of the prohibition law" Discussion of the bill led to the usual controversies, one of them be- ing a debate between Senator James Reed of Missouri. and Senator Will liam E. Borah of Idaho. This held the attention of the senate and a crowded gallery Monday and there was argument until the final vote late yesterday.
 Senator Bruce of Maryland. one of the leaders of the opposition to the bill, declared: 'I wish to pronounce g. curse on ttis bill with my last
 
 his retirement from the senate on March 4.
 Too Drastic For Drys Bruce also declared that it was another step ''in the march of tyr amy and asserted that it wiped out all distinction against first and sub sequent offenses. The measure was opposed by some dry senators who said they thought it was too drastic.
 The bill was described by it's sponsor, Senator Jones of Washing ton, as aimed primarily at the big bootlegger. It had the support of the prohibition bureau and of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willcbrandt. assista mt attorney general in charge of prohi- hition cases in the department of iust' C.
 Thirty-six republicans joined with o9 democrats in support of the measure, while five republicans and l3 democrats voted against it.

 The committee submitted sketches of buildings from architects of Hart ford and New Britain. The original plans submitted by the committee called for wood frame constructor of three fire houses. but the finance board directed 1t to secure plans for all brick houses, as the cost of up keep would be smaller and the building would be sufficient for the towns needs for at least 20 years. It also suggested that plans be drawn for houses that will have at- tractive architectural lines.
 Brick houses will call for sum larger than the original estimate of $35.00o and the committee voted to recommend an extra appropriation of $5.000 making total of $4o.o0a for three bumpers of 800 gallon capacity per minute. 1000 feet of hose for each bumper. sirens and towers, a house at the Center. a house at the school lot at Newington Junction, house of similar design at Maple Hill. near Newington ave- nue, furnishings and incl 1cntals.
