and by the United States Fish Com

The bass is also found throughout
the Great Lakes region and south
from here to New Jersey and Texas.
The best fishing spots are where the
waters are sluggish. Many call them
strawberry bass, lamplighter, or grass
bass. The name mentioned here Is
the one most used.
They seem to be more interested IN
food in early June and again IN late
Autumn. You may use graSShoppers,

these two are usually found in the

East was the dealer. At every table,
he started the ball rolling with one
heart: and at every table South took
advantage of his eight-card suit by
overcalling with two clubs. So far as
I know, every West player decided
that his distribution warranted two

went completely crazy.
Mr.. Bernie Cone, one of the North
players, deciding that he could always
take the bidding back to diamonds, in
view of his partners club bid, bid two

North nor South was going to stay in
that contract. South naturally as
sumed that it was psychic, based on
a club fit. His club suit. however, al
though nice and long, was strangely
lacking in tops, so he rescued with
three clubs.
At this point, West, believing that
his hand was about four tricks better
than it actually was, gave slam try
of four clubs. Mr.. Cone, knowing that
he was simply anticipating his part
| ner, doubled. East failed to grasp the
point of the rapid bidding; but he
knew one thing: He liked clubs. He
redoubled. West then bid four hearts.
North now came in with five diamonds.
This was the first time any of the
players knew that Mr.. Gone had a
diamond suit.
Disdaining to double that, East bid
five hearts. This was passed around
| to North, who doubled. East bid five
spades. Once more, this contract
swept around to North, who doubled
again. East redoubled. North couldn't
stand this. so he bid six diamonds.

had been getting more and more un-

baffled, redoubled.
West attempted to get heart discards
on the clubs before drawing trumps.
The sad result is all too apparent. He
went down, three tricks redoubled and
vulnerable, 300 points.
Although this would normally be
close to a top, the defense went to
sleep and permitted two players to
make seven diamonds. doubled. More
over, three North players evidently
gathered that they weren't sacrificing
and redoubled six diamonds, for q

Here's a Sweater for a Little
Baby.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

BY FLORENCE LA GANkE.
John DAVID'S baby cousin needed
a new sweater and Nancy was bus
lily making him one. For it she chose
the softest of white fourfold Saxony
wool. There was q stripping of pale
pink in the ribbing that held the
sweater in place at the waist and in
the cuffs. The ribbing that is at the
neck may be done in pink, in white
or in combination of the two.
A sweater of this kind Is easy to
put on a youngster, even a wriggling
one, for it opens wide at the neck, al
lowing the head to 60 through and the
arms to be fitted into the snugly fit
ting sleeves.
For a tiny baby the buttons that
fasten the sweater on the shoulders
should be of soft-knitted manufacture.
Hard buttons dent the flesh and make
the sleeping child uncomfortable.
For an older child the buttons may
be of smooth ivory. However, these
are apt to slip out of their loop fas-
teners. 1t is easy to take fiat button
and cover it with crochet. Then the
wool of the button covering helps to
keep it in place.
Once a knitter has the directions
for a sweater of this style it is easy
to knit it in any color combination
desired
For instance the whole body of the
sweater could be knitted in Roman
stripe effect. The colors could be bold
and striking for brunette baby. An

Before starting, Spite thought over
all the Red Squirrels living in his dis
trict. He knew them all. He not only
knew where they lived, but he knew
their habits, and this was very impor-
tant. One he knew, an old fellow wise

holes besides the one in which he lived,
and never was to be found more than
few jumps from one or another of
them.

failed too many times. He knows too
much. There are a couple of young
sters who think they know it all, but
really have only begun to learn. Those
are the kind it always is easiest to
catch. I'll have look for one of those
two first"
Spite headed straight for the local
| ity where one Of these two was living,
and long before he got there he heard
the voice of that young Squirrel scold-
ing noisily. "Just telling everybody
within hearing just where he is" NUT
tered Spite. TT is queer how foolish
some people can be and not know it.
Seems as if they love to hear the
sound of their own voices"
AS he approached the place where
that Squirrel was, he moved cautious
ly, keeping under cover as much as
possible. He was disappointed to find
that Squirrel was not farther from his
home hole. He was. however, far
enough to give chance If Spite could
approach him little closer without
being discovered. AS silently as a
moving shadow Spite moved forward,
keeping behind trees and under brush
