4EuS is one OF the closest OF
the really fine streams that we
have in this section and we would
have finer and better fishing if
the State would set a small daily
and season limit on trout. Here
is what Kenneth A. Reid has
to say in regard to it in the
National Waltonion for January:
Creel limits are supposed to be
conservative measures by limiting
excessive takes of fish. When
they are so absurdly high that
they are practically impossible of
attainment, they frequently have
just the oppositive effect. They
challenge the uninformed to
shoot at these figures as a false
"par on the fishing course" and
failing miserably, they are more
disguised with the fishing than
If the limits had been low enough
to be easily obtained.
No Improvement
No slight reductions in the creel
limit will bring about any mate
rial improvement. On heavily
fished waters the reductions must
be so drastic that the seasons
legal limits will approximate the
present daily limits, for our
streams will simply not stand the
removal of anything like the mum.
ber of fish that are being taken
from them today. Drastic re-
visions of our fish codes are vitally
necessary, but successive accom-
plishment must be preceded by a
comprehensive educational pro-
gram.
What, then, can be done in the
meantime about a matter that
has reached such a critical stage?
The final responsibility rests with
each individual that goes fishing.
He need not wait for the law to
force him to reduce his kill to
what common sense clearly indi-
Gates is necessary, but the true
sportsman and Waltonian will set
the example by returning all, ex-
cept perhaps an occasional un-
usually large fish, unharmed to
the water. The day is long since
past when trout can seriously be
considered an important source
of food, and there is no place in
the conservative picture for either
the pot fisherman or the vain.
glorious egotist who delights in
coming home with a mice mess of

Both should be socially ostracized
from the sporting fraternity and
stamped out like noxious vermin.
No CurtaiIment
Fortunately there need be no
curtailment in the catching Of
fish, but merely in the killing of
fish. The angler who uses the
artificial fly and carefully releases
his fish can have all the sport
that the supply of fish and his

French Studying
 Air Routes Across
 Atlantic To U. s,
CIVIL AVIATION HEAD IS CON WINGED REGULAR FLIGHTS
 TO BERMUDA SOON
By Harold Ettlinger


 PARIS, July 3, Louis Couche, dir ector of civil aviation at the French Air Ministry, revealed upon his re- turn from an official mission to the United States, that active discussion for the establishment of a north At lantic air service now is proceed ing between the United States and France.
 Although he indicated doubts about the American plans for floating is lands in the Atlantic to serve as landing places for the ocean air ser vice Couche is convinced that re- gular flights will be possible in the near future.
 Three Problems
 We must solve meteorological problems, the political problem, and questions of technique and mater ial', he explained. We must first of all give serious study to: First, choosing the best itinerary; second, creating landing places and means of rescue; third, determining the type of machines to be used
 The French government believes that, faced with such important pro- blems, the essential is to obtain the collaboration of the interested gov ernments. It was with this aim that we went to the United States to pro- pose this plan of work, the principle of which was so highly considered that study will be pursued immed- iately."
 Couche believes that the route via the Azores and Bermuda has the best chance of being chosen, because it is the safest, although slower than the Arctic route, or the regular steamship route. The last two are unsafe for airplane travel too great a part of the year to be developed as air routes at present he declared. Couche had high praise for Am erican aviation, saying: "Commer- cial aviation in the United States has developed it's security to the highest degree and observes the greatest prudence. It has very good comfortable quiet planes, which all ways are full. This economic sup eriority of merchant aviation is due to considerable financial means, to extensive currents of transportation throughout the territory, to business activity and to the fact that Ameri- cans take to planes as readily as they do to trains"

Legion Backed Vinson BiH Would Pay $2,357, ,OOO, ,OOO
 to Veterans ImmediateIy
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, March 14-- If the Vinson bill for immediate pay ment of the veterans bonus be enacted, some $2,357 100000 in gov ernment money would be distribut- ed among world war veterans who reside in virtually every city, town and rural community of the na- tion.
 The average payment to veterans who have not borrowed on their adjusted service (bonus) certificates would be about $l,000. Veterans who have obtained loans on their cer- tificates would receive an average of approximately $500. Statisticians of the veterans administration have figured that individual payments would range from minimum of about $62 to a maximum of $1 ,592
 A large majority of the veterans of the world war have borrowed from the government on their cer- tificates, most of the loans amount ing to the full 50 percent allowed under the law enacted in Febru- ary, 1881, over the veto of Presi- dent Hoover Up to November 30, last, certificates had been issued to 3,529.O00 veterans, 3,012,556 of whom had obtained loans aggre- gating $l $l,7O1,2l1,251s
 Bill Backed By Legion
 The bill, introduced by Repre- sentative Fred M. Vinson of Ken lucky, is the American Legion's own measure. It specifies that in terest owed by the veterans on these loans be cancelled and that interest already paid on the loans be refunded by the government in payment of the bonus. The bonus bill introduced by Representative Wright Patman of Texas deducts from the face value of the certifi- SaoS-o tlAC liltCl CoJ OAi tliC hOdAio which accrued prior to October l, 1881.
 Compensation for individual vet erans is computed on the basis of number of days in service with base credit figured at S125 a day for overseas duty and s1 day for home service. The bonus law im- noses limitations on base credits, s625 fer overseas and $500 for home service.
 To the base credit is added 25 percent-a premium for deferred payment of the bonus-and the sum of the two constitute gross credit. The maturity, or face value of the certificate is the amount of 20 year endowment insurance which the gross credit can pur- chase based on single net pre-

 Conference committees on ap- propriations, mining tax and the mines department bills were re- ported to be making progress in ironing out the stumbling blocks and word from the committee rooms said the members were hope ful of getting together before a late hour tonight

Campbell, Devine, Fraw- ley and Walker voted for the meas ure and Brunelle, Roden, Powers and Hess against. Immediately the vote was taken Senator Walker moved for consideration of the House bill and the Senators agreed.
 Before the vote was taken Sen- ator Brunelle called attention of the members of the Democratic platform which pledged it would not allow return of the saloon. Senator Frawley, sponsor of the dispensary measure, said his only thought was to set up a workable system and he felt the dispensary plan would come closer to it than anything else.
 Near Compromise
 While the House this morning failed to concur in the Senate amendments to the appropriation bill, it was reported this afternoon the conference committee was near a solution on compromise. One of the bones of contention in the measure as it came from the Sen ate was the insertion of an item of $l00,000 for building schools in the Matanuska Valley for children of colonists.
