A TTENTION of this column has
" been called to the case of a
a boat captain going to sleep at
4 n the wheel of his boat and
driving it hard and fast on the
shore in the lower Patuxent. One
member of this party in relating the
experience, said they tried to attract
attention of other boats, but that it
was one hour and half before any
one came to their assistance.
There is a distress signal and all
boat captains know it-or should
know 1t. The trouble lies in the fact
that boat captains do not watch for
distress signal.
To help safeguard the anglers who
fish at night, We called on the Bu-
reau of Navigation and Steamboat In
spection of the Department of Com
merce to find out what is the correct
distress signal.
Gen. D. N. Hoover OF the Office of
navigation informed us that under
navigation laws the burning Of any
kind of flare, firing of a revolver or
rifle, or the constant blowing OF a
fog horn are signs of distress, night
or day. He said the habit of fishing
boat captains to put out all lights and
flash light four times at intervals is
not real distress signal.
DERSEvERANCE wins the fish.
Il Herbert Corn has been on many
a fishing trip, but it was not
until recently that he really had a
successful catch. With a party of
friends he visited Solomons Island.
They returned with over 200 hard
heads and 80 trout.
Last Tuesday L. A. Stevens with a
party from the United States Weather
Bureau visited the Gooses. They took
with them two forecasters. w. r.
Stevens and Gordon Dunn of the
Weather Bureau, thinking perhaps
they could forecast what their luck
would be. 1t was good, as they caught
1876 hardhead. weighing 400 pounds.
They used only shrimp as bait.
Capt. T. c. Jones at Chesapeake
Beach. Seaside Park, says that his
boats are really catching fish. One
boat returned Sunday with 600 pounds
of hardhead and sea trout, another
with $50 and third with 500.

Unlike many of the Roosevelt

represent essentially turning back

The program proposes to make
character, rather than collateral,
the accepted security for loans.
That is reversal of the whole
modern trend, but a revision to the
principles on which banking first
began.
In effect, the government now
says to the banker: Here is John
