Looking for Sport? Try Fishing
For Big One Through the Ice!

Y you can fish in the Wintertime,
" and sometimes catch few OF
the big fellows which were
L overlooked in the Summer.
Fishing through the ice of q fish,
stocked lake or river is considered by
many sportsmen to be real Winter
sport, and there are q few tricks to
this kind Of fishing which you
should know.
The first essential for Winter fish,
ing is warm clothing. ear cap, heavy
overcoat, warm gloves and water
proof high-top boots.
The fishing tackle consists Of an ice
chisel for cutting holes in the ice. a
fishing pole made from a broomstick.
q fishing line, hooks and bait.
Make the chisel from 3-foot length
Of gas pipe by pounding one end nat,
then sharpening this fiat edge of the
pipe with a file. At the other end
attach q 1T" handle, which is easily
made from threaded pipe fittings.
To this handle attach a loop OF rope
for q wrist cord, which is looped over
the wrist to prevent the chisel from
slipping from the hand and being lost
in the hole being chopped in the ice.
Cut the hole through the ice as
sketched. Note the wide under edge.
which prevents the sharp edges OF
the ice from cutting the line.
Make the fishing pole from
broomstiek. placing long sharp spike
in one end, so it can be pushed into
the ice as sketched. Provide the pole
with two short wood rlibs. on which
the line is wrapped in q figure 8.
Use . strong line and medium size
hooks. Dough balls. fresh meat, or
artificial bait may be used. In the
wintertime the fish are hungry and
usually bite on anything.
In fishing on a large lake. several
holes may be used. These holes are
marked with tie-up signal, which
tells you at 4 glance II fish has
been hooked at any particular hole.
Make this tip-up from lightweight
wood, shaped as in the sketch. Attach
an iron rod as shown. The line Is
tied scurely to a notch near the front
end. A fish pulling on the line Of this
tip-up causes the arm to stand erect.
and it can be seen long distance on
an ice-covered lake.

January Vas Named
For Janus, the God
OF Nev Adventures

THE month Of January bears its
name because Janus was the god
Of the opening year. He presided
over the undertaking Of any new ad-
venture and was a god known only
to the Romans. The Romans adopted
January as the first of the year from
the reign Of their second King. Numa
Pompilius. who ruled until 672 BIC.
Not until the eighteenth century
was January universally adopted as
the beginning Of the year. England
took the step in 1852. and Sweden
in 1883. but other European coun-
tries adopted this New Year day at
an earlier date: France in 1864. Hol-
land. Protestant Germany, and Russia
in 100.
Have you heard this riddle of the
year? There is a father with twice
six sons. These sons have 80 daugh-
ters each. partly colored, having one
cheek white and the other black, who
never see each others face nor live
above "a hours" The answer, Of
course, is "a year."

JOSEPH TURcoTrE wants to know
about breeding mice 80 they will
have two colors instead Of one. He
has mice that are all solid colors,
black, yellow. brown and gray. II he
breeds yellow and brown he gets yel-
low, brown and gray.
It seems to me the only thing for
him to do is to get an extra mouse
that has two ,colors, and breed this
one into his strain Of mice. It might
work.
Gall Simmons. aged 9, sends a fine
story about Jipsey. her cat that
catches lots of gophers. sometimes

Jane Fall wants a pair Of horned
toads. I guess the only way for her
to get them is to have pet store
order them specially for her.
Margaret Warren sends in q nice
letter about her dogs and cats, and
how the dogs tease the cats when the
cats are eating. Now and then the
dogs get pretty badly scratched.
Stanley H. Waite asks about pigeons.
He has two pairs. One pair started
nesting right after he got them and
the other just won't nest at all. He
says the only time this other pair
has anything to do with each other Is
when he feeds them, and then they
fight a lot. He may have two males
In that other pair" II they don't
breed very soon, he'd better see about
exchanging one Of them and try
new combination a while.
Francis Leslie raises Old English
game bantams and he says the hens
are great layers. Some strains OF
pure-bred bantams almost exceed
the standard size birds as layers, but
in most cases the bantams have been
bred so long for their looks that they
aren't much on eggs.
Francis ought to keep his strain as
pure as possible. He shouldn't bring
in any fresh blood unless he has to do
30. and he should keep for his own
breeding only the best layers and the
most healthy specimens.
Henry Bridges says his rabbits are
full of feas and he doesn't think 1t
would be a good idea to wash them
in dog soap.
Hes right. Some good dog fea

Jim Faswitz writes that his dog Is
always nipping peoples heels and
wants to know how to break him Of
the habit. This same thing was done
by one of our dogs q few times, but
kick with the back of . heel the
instant he nipped it discouraged him
from repeating. After two or three
such treatments he never did it again.

There was no sound from the inn
She crept into the stable and fumbled
in the darkness for the saddle she
always used.
"Quiet. Cap!" she said in low,
compelling voice. The big horse stood
motionless while she saddled him.
Then, literally holding her breath, she
led him from the stable. She made a
wide circle around the inn, not yet
daring to mount, leading Cap stealth
lily over the frozen turf Of the lawn.
At last she reached the driveway,
and then the road. Only then did she

"It's a long way to Sutter and it's

somebody groan, and dimly realized
that the sound had come from his own

Simon's struggle. his own attempt to
get away through the kitchen. Why
hadn't he been successful? What had
happened? He tried to raise himself
to sitting position and his throbbing
head promptly answered his questions
He had been knocked out.
He heard signing groan from the
floor nearby. Turning his eyes in the
direction of the sound he saw Simon
coming around. The man by the fire
cleared his throat and waved the gun
significantly.
"Lie still. punks," he said harshly.
You can be glad you both aren't full
Of lead. If 1t had been one of the
others down here instead Of me, you d
both be out for keeps. They shoot

Simon mumbled something, looked
at the outlaw, and then at Ken. They
both realized that they had failed and
that now all the occupants of the Inn

something they hated to think about.

The man meant exectly what he

himself on the floor as, comfortably
as his pounding head would permit,
and berated himself for his folly in
coming down the front, instead of the
back, stairs.

dozed several times, but whenever he

DISTRICT VOTE
DEMANDED
BY YADEN
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

In an address before the Central
Business Mems Association, at the
weekly luncheon meeting yester'
day at the Harrington Hotel, on
the question Of suffrage for the
District" James G. Yaden, a for
mer president Of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, said If
the people really wanted the
ballot here, there was never a
better time to demand it than at
present.
The chaotic condition, he de-
clared, in which the District finds
itself today regarding its fiscal
relations with the Federal Gov
eminent is one of discomfort that
will take heroic efforts to adjust.
Because of serious differences be-
tween certain members OF the
House and q few people OF the
District all must suffer.
The present controversy regard
ing taxation, he believes, is due
largely to lack of a clear under
standing on Capitol Hill OF the
real problems of the District, which
have become too great for legisla'
tors busy with their own constitu.
ency to give intensive study, and
who in some instances are not
properly informed as to the real
needs, For these reasons, Mr..
Yaden. after a careful study and
extensive experience in civic az
fairs, has reached the conclusion
the ballot box should be demanded
in the District.
If other cities are competent Of
governing themselves, he chal-
lenged anyone to say why resi-
dents Of the District are not. Re
ferring to the failure Of Congress
to pass the 1888 District appro-
priation bill, without mentioning
names, he told Of four prominent
citizens who were in close con-
tact with House leaders and ex-
pressed hopes for passage Of the
bill next Monday, District Day.
Formation of permanent city

zenS to fight for suffrage will be

The executive board of John L.

William Green, president Of the

Originally, board members had

but changed its mind because Of
Green's recent statement that
board members were prejudiced
against him.
The controversy grew out Of the
Lewis fight to set UP his c. I. O..

of the mine workers, along with
eight other unions, from the A. F.

the executive board formally
drafted charges against Green,
and announced that he would be
called upon to answer them. This
Green refused to do.
