A Book a Day
Good Fishing? This Book May Help You
 RY BRUCE CATION

A strange restlessness seiSes many of our best citizens about this time of year. They get to day-dreaming. they babble incoherently about sparkling streams and messy banks, and they don't get over it until they take rod and reel in hand and go out to haul 6 few brook trout out of the water.
 For such citizens there is avail able 6 timely and interesting book. -"The Modern Angler, by John Alden Knight (scribnerS: e2Tb)
 Jimmy Donahue, an expert flsh- erman from way back, discusses the book as follows:
 Knight has done Q good job of making clear to fly fishermen just what to use in the way of common sense in working stream or lake.
 There's 6 paragraph on nymph fishing in which he reiterates the necessity of using Q long, fine leader in this type of angling; there's a section on bass in which he states emphatically that the fly rod angler will take two bass to the bait iihserman's one: and there's some dope on taking large trout that most modern Izaak Waltons never thought of
 "Tn addition to the excellent text, there are some fine photo- graphs - including two showing just how to make the roll cast. an accomplishment that is difficult for the average fly caster.
 "I.ast but not least, there are some pages devoted to Knights pet "soIunar Theory Knight hes worked out table showing the effects Of the moon on inland waters. His theory, tested by thou- sands Of anglers, indlcates phases Of the moon that are propliious for flahinR."

Meriden is making money on the old age assistance tax of $3. So well did they pay up over in the Silver City that the city had an excess of close to $5,000 after paying to the state their tax assessment. No doubt other towns could show similar profits. What to do with such excess money is problem that should be solved for all the towns and not for one or two. There should be some specific purpose to which such excess funds would be put.

THE EFFEMINATE TOUCH

There has been some to-do hereabouts, by the way, about the 6 foot 2 inch lady bouncer called Lois De Fee. Suitably enough, Lois bounces drunks and roughnecks out of the Dizzy Club, another dusk to dawn caravansary. When inter- viewed, Lois showed . mighty muscle and confessed that most of her bouncer's trouble is with women. Also that she is always getting tangled up with itty-bitty men.
 But despite Lois Amazonian build and build-up, sch is not the only lady houncer in New York. Tony'S, the theatrical sets bar- room, had e female disciplinarian in attendance long before Lois went into the business.
