Spiders Spin Nets For
Fishermen of New Guinea

1t took the old sports of Pre-
historic a long time to figure out
the net as a method of catching
fish. It is the fourth big step in the
ancient art. / wouldn't be surprised
if the fairy net wasn't hand me
down from one of the very first
nets used. 1t is the most incredible
of nets and is used today by the
Papuans fierce tribe of New
Guina cannibals. Some authorities,
among them the we'll known Eng
ish Radcliffe, claim that this an
cient net is acquired by sticking
long bamboo in the soil where
spiders are most prevelant in the
forest. The bamboo is bent to
form the frame and soon a spider
spins a web that sheds water like
oil and will hold a fish up to a
pound. These nets are six feet in
diameter and the meshes vary from
one eighth inch at the center to
one inch at the out side. Cut this
out and paste it in a scrap book.
You'll soon have an interesting
fishing history.

skill give me a bass on the bust
ness end of plug casting outfit,
old scout. There is something about
the way bass smashes plug that
sends my heart right up into my
mouth. Make short accurate casts
and keep your eye on the plug.
Strike as soon as the bass does or
it's a miss. But for the rest of the
day when sweat rolls down your
back and old sol tries to turn you
the color Nof a boiled lobster, you
can cast your arm off in these fav-
orite spots without soaring up a
strike excepting on the rarest oc-
casions. You've got to go down
deep now but not too far from the
shore line if you're lake fishing. A
fly rod for this work and :. min
nows. No. I'm no champion of the
live bats but believe you me when
old thelma is hitting ninety in the
shade there are times when moth
ing but good, live minnow will
get wiggle out of a bass. Shin
ers which you can catch in almost
any creek are a dish that will tickle
the fancy of the foxiest old bass
that ever famed fin :. and whats
more fun than three pound bass
bending a five ounce fly rod double?
Bass don't like warm water. They
know where the cold springs feed
into the bottoms and that's usual
ly deep down twenty to forty
feet. Rig your fly rod up and put
a split shot about the 90 size thirty
inches above your hook. This is
just heavy enough to keep your
bait from working up from the
bottom. Find a place where the
shadows drop off quickly with but
little shelf. Cast your minnow and
let it sink to the bottom. If you are
in boat row gently, slower than
trolling, to give the bait plenty of
chance to swim about. What's
that? A strike. Easy now. Don't
try to hook him yet. When a bass
strikes a minnow he grabs it by
the tail and your hook is in the
minnows lips. The bass will make
run of from ten to sixty feet on
that first strike. Then he stops to
turn the bait around to swallow it
head first. Sink the hook when he
starts the second lunge. Try this
in the dog days old man and you'll
have some fun while the other boys
are wondering what it's all about.
But remember this when you are in
the shadows with the plugs
Keep out of sight and old man bass
can hear long ways off. Try this

bass days Old Timer.

HIS MAJESTY = THE BLACK BASS

Hats off old man, to the black
bass as the heavy weight champion
fighter of our fresh water streams
and ponds. Whether he be the big
or small mouth variety he is the
fightingest, most cussed old he
whop of the whole finny tribe . :.
and say, if you've never been
bassin' nows the time to go.
But fellow it's an art. Mr.. Bass
has more tricks in his tail than a
circus performer. He's got the odds
all with him right from the start
and you must know the game to
land him.
It's not all luck. No stree. Some
fellows stumble on one or two holes
in home waters where they can
usually make a catch that's luck.
But put them down on a new
stretch of water and they are as
lost as Robinson Crusoe. The old
timer who studies his fish and his
bass waters gets to know where to
look for fish and why. That's fish
ing and there are more thrills
to figuring out a strange stretch of
water and matching wits with
seasoned bass than you'll find in a
murder mystery.
Mr.. Bass is smart. He is stub
born, he's tempermental and he's
possessed of temper that'll make
bull hide it's face in clover. You
can never tell just what he is GO
ing to do. I've seen them turn their
nosesup at the choicest bait on
ideal bass days and bite faster'n
fleas on a day you wouldn't event
wet a line. I've fished for them in
vain using every trick in the bag
until was blue in the face, only to
have some old bass swim up to my
plug, flip it out of the water with
his tail and swim disdainfully
away. Two hours later saw them
bite so savagely on this same
stretch of river that one old fell
low leaped into the air after my
plug before it hit the water. That's
bass fishing old scout.
But now, with the mercury try
ing to smash out the high end of
the tube, and establish all time heat
records are you stumped about how
to fill the stringer? Try taking two
outfits. A bait casting rod and your
plugs for the early morning fun in
the shadows, along the reed beds
and among the lily pads between
dawn and nine A. M. and again
from five P. M. until the skeeters
chase you home. For an all around

THE COST OF FIRES

When it comes to counting up the loss following fire
the is apt to overlook the chief item Insurance
men, however, not apt to make that mistake They
have learned that the actual loss from fires lie in
destroyed homes and industries but in jobs opportunities
things that cannot be measured in dollars cents
factory store burned out may decide to an
other location not resume operation Or may be months
in getting started again. thus forcing its employees idle
ness without pay.
Insurance men declare the indirect loss from fires is
always greater than the direct insurance is carried
the direct loss made good in money but
make good the wealth lost in suspended production and
damage to the community Very often that amounts to twice
the value of what is actually destroyed
This the most dangerous the year so far as
res are concerned careessy tossed cigarette Stub

highway or camp fire left smouldering until high winds

time. That is why it is highly important that everyone
should exert extreme care to avoid such risks Fire every
bodys enemy 1t is the greatest destructive agency in the
land today The only protection against is extreme care in
handling those things which cause it.
