Let's Go Fishing
ANGLERS TRY
BUT WEATHER
SPOILS SPORT
Cold Weather Keeps Fish in
Hiding: Warm Rain
Awaited.
BY GEORGE DENNY
pinch Hitting for Lefty Lee

This in and out weather is get
ting the goat Of the angling fra
ternity If the sun ventures out for
a few hours a COB Of snow comes
sliding down nor wester and
smacks it back again.
A number Of the boys have been
trying. but reports are discouraging
on the whole. It will take several
warm DAYS in row to stir up any
really fnny activity.
An old timer tells us that he
never has any luck until a spring
freshet or two has swept the cold
water out Of the pools and replaced
1t with the warmer rain water Rain
Is predicted for today and while it
may spoil the stream fishing over
the weekend, we might garner some
comfort from the fact that it will
help later.
Your angling education is not
complete until you have studied
James Alexander Henshall's Book
of the Black Bass" This earnest
old sportsman spent the greater part
of a long and useful life in observ-
ing and catching MicropterUs, and
his book is in many ways still the
last word. Though he was a ply
sician and a good one. I can't help
thinking that be cured more per
sons through his love of fishing than
with his pills.
Following are some bits Of philos-
ply and advice from DR. Henshall
that are as good today as they we're
fifty years ago:
Fishing for count. and the
Slaughter Of the innocents, now meet
nth the opprobium of all true dis
ciples Of the craft, and have become
abhorrent and despicable practices.
No food however tempting, can
entice the bass as long as there is
the appearance of danger
'PredaciOus fishes feed almost en-
tIrely at night, Oni5 the hungry ones,
perhaps, doing so during the day.
Early in The season bass will be
found on streams in shallow water,
just below the rapids, or rifles
where the water is warmest, feeding
on helgramiteS minnOWs. etc.
The pleasantest days for the ang-
lers comfort are usually the most
successful days for angling.
1t matters little, for bait fishing,
whether the wind is in the east,
west, north or south. so long as it is
a pleasant wind and not too raw
and chilly. But any wind is better
than no wind
Fish usually bite better before a
shower.
Il can not impress too strongly
upon the reader the Importance of
keeping out of sight Of the fish, for
therein lies the greatest secret of
success in angling"

Paris. Not by any means Q sudden
discovery, it came into being slowly
as one principle after another emerged
from the comparative examination of
pictorial data. Finally it assumed the
form OF q signaletic procedure, divis-
ible into three parts: The measuring
Of some Of the characteristic dimen-.
sions of the bony structure of the
body, the observation Of the move
ments of the body and the habits of
the mind and the observation of
peculiarities of the body resulting from
disease, accident, deformity or arti-
hcial disagreement. For some ef its
main features Juan vucetich of Buenos
Aires supplied the invaluable device
called dactyloscopia or finger printing,
now much more generally employed
throughout the world.
But IN the war necessarily waged by
society against the criminal element
which unfortunately is present within
every nation and class the Bertillon
system as originally framed and as
subsequently amended and improved
still is useful instrument. For that
reason 1t deserves mention in terms of
gratitude, and the fortieth anniver-
sary Of its adoption in England is as
good an occasion as any for such a
tribute.

gun made in England and seized by
British troops In France, where it had
been used to destroy allied forces, and
now planted conspicuously in Eng
land as an example of the purely COM
mercial conduct of the arms-making
enterprise.
The present investigation will doubt
less bring all these matters clearly to
view. 1t can hardly fail to show that
arms making on large scale is a
cold -blooded business without the least
regard for national interests. It may
not be possible to bring to light the
full picture of the international char
acter of the stock ownership in the
great munitions corporations, the al
most incredible criss- crossing Of capi-
tai and the ramifications Of influence
with ministries and governments and
international disarmament confer
ences. But it will doubtless give the
American people a fairly comprehen-
sive conception Of the bathing COM
plexity Of the problem of arms limi-
tation.

Bertillon Anniversary.

1t is exactly forty years since the
Bertillon system of identification was
adopted by New Scotland Yard, and
the British press takes proper note
of the anniversary. A monumental
milestone in the evolution of anthro-
pometric science, It may have been
replaced to a certain extent by more
recent codes and methods, but demo-
graphy and criminology still remain
deeply in its debt.
The inventor was Alphonse Bertillon.
French anthropologist, who was
born in 1853 and died in 1914. His
father and his brother were statisti-
clans of notable eminence, and his
childhood and youth were passed in
an atmosphere of comparative mathe-
matical research. A long apprentice
ship prepared him for the writing of
his monograph on Photographic
Judiciare," published in 1890. The
book gained him the respect Of gov
ernment officials and scholars alike,
and it was entirely natural that he
should be appointed to report on the
handwriting of the famous bordereau
in the Dreyfus case and called to
testify for the prosecution before the
cour de cessation in January, 1899.
For the remainder of his life he con-
tinued to be an actor in the inter-
national scene. He was considered,
rightly enough, an authority in his
field, and no major crime of the first
decade of the new century was re-
ported without direct or indirect
reference to his name.
Millions know and use the phrase,
but few. If challenged, could tell
exactly what the Bertillon system is.
1t happens that it grew out of huge
collection Of photographs which its
author accumulated and studied while

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
ar=ss
BY FREDERIC WILLIAMe VILE,

Baltimore Sun, who is one, of the
most unabashed commentators on the
Roosevelt administration. The VOL
ume concerns itself particularly with
regimentation of national life and
with excessive expenditures which in
volve an unbalanced budget, rising
taxes, an enlarged Federal pay roll
and a debt legacy to future genera
tions. Mr.. Kent also titlts at ma
tional legislation in fields hitherto
regarded as purely local preserves.
The Baltimore scribe recently toured
Europe with Bernard M. Baruch.
Another new Autumn book with q
Washington background is "The Mis-
cellaneous Papers Of Justice Bran
deis," containing essays, addresses and
other papers hitherto unavailable to
book readers. The volume will also
include photography of writings
about Justice Brandeis and a classi-
fed list of the products of his own
pen.
Prof. Felix Frankfurter, whose
bright young men from the Harvard
Law School so ubiquitously dot the
Federal landscape, is said not long
ago to have been facetiously dubbed
Felix Farley" by President Roosevelt
as a subtle tribute to Frankfurter'
achievement in landing so many OF
his proteges in Government depart
ments. An unofficial estimate has it
that no fewer than four-fifths of the
young lawyers in key places at Wash
ington at this time owe their ap-
pointments to DR.. Frankfurter'S rec
concentrations. His classes at Har-
ward are likely to become increasingly
popular.
Memory for names, faces and oc-
casions was one of the political assets
of Theodore Roosevelt. 1t appears
to be one of F. D. RS talents, too.
Former Gov. Robert A. Cooper of
South Carolina, now Federal Judge
for the district of Puerto Rico, met
President Roosevelt at San Juan in
July. Cooper having remarked that
he first met the President in 1919,
the President instantly rejoined:
"Yes, I remember exactly when 1t
was-the day the 9th Division came
home from France and you were on
the Reception Committee at New
York City Hall because the 9th,
under Gen. Organ, had trained in
South Carolina before going to
France" Judge Cooper is now on
leave in Washington.

Jim Farley has coined some new
names for the Democratic party. In
a speech in Pennsylvania the other
day he asked for the election of con-
gressional candidates who would keep
the State in step with national
progressive, national liberal and ma
tional Democratic" administration.

Some Washington pals Of Upton
Sinclair suggest that if he is elected
Governor of California in November
it wouldn't be surprising if he at
tempts to change the name of the
State to "Uptonia," which would be
near enough to utopia" to carry
out the Sinclair idea.

Merchants of Death.

What promises TO be a most in
teresting and important revelation of
the workings of the international
hook-up of war munitions manufac-
lures has been begun by the Senate
committee organized to investigate
that subject. The inquiry was started
with the testimony of three officers of
an American company engaged in the
manufacture of submarines, who have
frankly acknowledged connection be-
tween their concern and the leading
British corporation engaged in the
making Of war materials and have
testified that they have sought to
make sales without reference to the
interests of their respective govern
nnents. The name of Sir Basil Ia
haroff, Europe's man of mystery" Of
the European munitions industry, was
elected. Much more will be heard of
this parsonage, who is believed to be
a largely controlling factor in the in
ternational war material business. He
appears, indeed, to be a stockholder in
the American company, though not
under his own name
Much has lately been printed about
the merchants of death" who con-
troll the business of the manufacture
of arms, ammunition and war ma
chimes of all kinds. Tales have been
told of French, German, Czechoslo-
vakian and British munitions plants
that sell in any market regardless OF
national interests, of trading in pat
ent rights irrespective of the peace
and welfare of the countries In which
they are held. Attention has beer

Japanese in Arizona.

From the Providence Journal. a
A league Of American farmers I'm
Arizona Is said to have ordered Jap-
anese farm-lessees in the Salt River
Valley to vacate not later than TO-
night, and Washington Is said 10 ap-
prehend violence in consequences. A
dispatch from the Capital suggests
that If the japanese resist the order
a grave international incident may
occur.
The anti-Japanese feeling on shur
Pacific Coast has long been serious.
One reason for the feeling is said 10
be that the japanese laborer is willing
to work for less money and over .
longer work day. The exclusion law.
which forbids the acquisition OF ctt-
izenship by Japanese immigrants, has
stirred up resentment In Japan and
If there should be contention and
bloodshed In Arizona, Toxic would Of
course, hear of 1t and presumably
would protest. ssa9
A Washington correspondent says
that the exclusion law, despite the
"gentlemen's agreement" which pro-
vides that Japan shah issue no PASS
ports to japanese laborers destrcus Of
emigrating to the United States, Is
considered by young and old IN
Japan as q slap In the face. u con-
stant assertion by Americans that
they are q superior race" AS . sub
stitute it has been suggested that
Japan be put on a quota basis, which
would help to salve Tokio's pride and
still keep the newcomers down TO m
economically harmless minimum.
In the meantime we trust there win
be some amicable solution OF The
vexed problem in Arizona. A, DIS
patch from Phoenix yesterday was
mildly reassuring. The Arizona
farmers declare that their only IN
terest is in the enforcement Of the
alien land law, and that mo out

Wise Widow.
From the Raleigh News and Observer.

From the Raleigh News and Observer.
Mrs. Henry r. Rainey showed her
self the worthy widow Of great man
when she declined to seek the honor
of election to his seat In the House.
In recent years there has been TOO
much of the sentimental business of
electing widows to the seats left
vacant In Congress by their dying
husbands. The best way to honor q
great mans memory Is to seek O sue
cessor with as nearly equal abilities
as possible. To name a widow merely
because she is a widow, and REGARDLESS
of her abilities, does not serve intellf
gent government nor honor a man
who devoted himself to intelligent
government.
Few widows would be better fitted
to succeed their husbands than Mrs.
Rainey, who for nearly two-score
years IN Washington aided her hus-
band as secretary and adviser. She
showed that ability clearly when she
refused to allow her husbands con-
stltueAts to elect her to Congress
merely because she was her husbands
widow.
