Corinthian, Oldest D. C.. Yacht
Club, Has Loyal Membership

In the Fall Of 1929 the club re-
ceived a severe shock. The Fed
eral Government took possession of
the grounds and harbor as a part of
the Mount Vernon boulevard. With
out a home, its fleet scattered, with
out anchorage and property. the club
had only the abiding loyalty of its
members. Only one site really ap-
pealed to the club members-its
present site next to the Army War
College-and so. through the sale Of
bonds to members, large sum of
money was raised and the property
bought. BY Midsummer a safe an
chorage was provided. Today there
is something like 1000 feet of new
wharves and all facilities, including
q marine railway.
Ross L. Fryer was the first COM
modore, serving in 1903 and 1904.
He still is a member of the club.
The present officers are DR.. Roy Ly-
man Sexton. commodore: r. B. Pat

Bass Worth More
AS Anglers Prey
Than Market Fish
THERE are more than 1o.ooo,oo

HERE are more than 10000, 900
anglers in the United States, ac-
cording to Ed C. Kemper, chair
man Of the Bass Committee of the
District Chapter of the Izaak Walton
League. recent radio speaker for The
Stars Rod and Stream column.
And by angler" Kemper emphasized,
we mean one who fishes for sport and
for the enjoyment of the out of doors,
which constitutes an essential part OF
his fishing trip"
Leading up to the statement that the
black bass Is worth more to State as
game fish than a table commodity
and should be conserved, Kemper said:
When our 100000 anglers have more
leisure and their numbers are increased
by others who must find outdoor rec
reation, tremendous demand will be
placed upon Our fields and streams, and
upon the game and fish which still
survive.
I'VE must take steps now to meet this
coming demand because it is to the ad
vantage Of our country to do so. A
failure to anticipate this demand will
result in disappointment to those who
seek the out doors, and in destruc-
tion to the game and game fish that
oAC iiot dSSuTeu VI pIOteCtiOu dSdulSG
undue exploitation.
And there is where the black bass
comes In. At present this fish is being
exterminated by market sale as food
fish in 19 States Of the Union. Through
public sentiment, through the leader
ship OF the I5aak Walton League of
America and through the Conservation
Commissions, immediate steps should
be taken to secure legislation to protect
the black bass from market sale in
every State.
The black bass cannot survive as
source of outdoor enjoyment to the
people and as a source Of income to
those who cater to the angling fra
ternity so long as there Is a price on
his head-that price being the price per
pound on the fish market counter. The
black bass is 10 times more valuable to
any State from any point Of view-be
1t economic, recreational or sentimental
when classified and protected as a
game fish than when sold as food fish" :"

French Savant Discovers Structure

ALGIERS OP.-A fine Roman fort
has been discovered 40 miles from

Prof. Reygasse.
1t is a vast stone structure on top
of a hill, containing IL chambers, and
is in a perfect state Of preservation.
The building, locally known as the
Tomb of Ahalessa, was supposed to be
Touareg mausoleunl, the grave Of a
Targui princess having been found
there years ago.
A close inspection by Prof. Reygasse
disproved this. In addition to evidence
furnished by the nature Of the con-
struction, he found relics Of Roman
