He every respectfully submitted"
that the judges ought to get their
expense money for the following
reasons:
|. Travel regulations OF the comp
troller. under the law, cannot ap-
ply to federal judges.
Q. Judges expense accounts al
ways were paid without question
until their last conference.
3. The refusal to pay was based
upon a ruling of the comptroller
which was mistaken.
Elliott who has tangled with such
folks as Secretary of Interior Har-
old l.. Tckes about the cost of his
automobile and with diplomats
about whether they should pay their
own laundry bills, said he'd pay the
Judges for their travelling expenses
rs submitted by them and without
any receipts from the railroads to
prove they were telling the truth,
but that the money would be forth
coming on only one condition.
Chief Justice Hughes, he said

advance cent to the circuit judge1
for their railroad fare. Elliott said
he had TO exact this condition be-
cause of the law. He distinctly
wasn't being sticky about the hon

CCC Enrolment
Will Be Continued

Col. r. A. Bingham. manager
of the Los Angeles Veterans admin
istration facility. announced Satur-
day that enrolment in the veterans
contingent, Civilian Conservation
Corps will be resumed July / and
will continue until July 20 unless
the quota is filled at an earlier
date.
Veterans interested in securing
enjoyment in the Civilian Con-
servation Corps may contract the
local office of the Veterans Ad-
ministration.
Col. Bringham stated that the
rules governing selection have been
recently modified. They now pro-
vide that transient veterans will
be required to reurn to their place
OF permanent address in order to
obtain enrolment in the Civilian
Conservation Corps. In the past a
number of veterans have followed
the practice of going to Washing
ton just prior to the enrolment
periods in the CCC for the purpose
of obtaining enrolment. They ap-
parently have conceived the idea
that they may receive more favor
able consideration by so doing than
by remaining at home and filing
their applications with the office
having jurisdiction. In view Of
the modification of the rules veter-
ans were advised to file their ap-
plications with the local office Of
the Veterans administration as only
those veterans who have well es-
tablished address in Washington
will be enrolled in the Civilian
Conservation Corps there.

The engrossed Dutchman came to
himself with start. He swung about
to see Arafura John upon the other
side of the closed grille. The China
man was regarding him intently.

sharply, and coming close, an ugly
look upon his broad face, took hold of
the bars of the grille. LET me out, you

his tongue wetting his dry lips.
The old Chinaman's voice took on
an edge like steel.
''It is no lie, Mr.. Mas. Two nights

They are ingenious, these men of

which is false and comes away - so!
1t is razor-sharp, and is drilled with

in this false beak, which. when the
bird strikes, injects venom into its
human victim just as potently as any
cobra or fer-de-lance. A pretty idea.

soft finality: "Goodby, Mr.. Mas"
He turned, sandalwood doors closed

through the still air. She shuddered

old hand rested upon her CULVER

went towards the high portico. He

We land several nice ones before
they become wise to our racket. then
we move on a little farther. All the
shadows are literally alive with bass.
Nearly every cast is good for strike.
Sometimes two and three big ones
shoot at the bait simultaneously, leap
ing clear of the water in their eagerness
to get it. We toss the small ones back.
It's nearing three O'Clock, and We
are long way from home. We take
count and find we have twenty two on
the stringer.

But my words fall on deaf ears. I

bass out with clocklike regularity.
While am gone he adds ten more to

admonish, and begin releasing those
which are still Topping.
Holy mackerel! Don't throw my

Twenty is enough, and if you don't
stop, I'm going to throw back two for
every one you catch!

them. Let's CO."
Every few minutes, as we head back
toward the car. Ike stops to glance
over his shoulder toward Lily Lake.
Gosh" he says. Il never hated to
leave a place so bad in my life."
Cheer up," l tell him. Lilly Lake
isn't known to anybody else, and all
of those bass will be there when we
come back - unless you get kind
hearted and send someone else out
here"
Fat chance of that" says Ike.

1t as Ike's car stops at my door. We
tckly load the tackle and are gone.
Man, look at that moon" says
Its going to be clear as a bell

Daylight finds us many miles out,
hring my pet fishing grounds. The sun
ps over the horizon and struggles

I don't like that foggy SUM-" say
Ike. 1T usually means tough fish
but maybe we'll catch them.
Ehow."
If don't get those babies." Ike
swers, "I'll whip that lake until it
ms up like glass of beer"
We stop at a little hamlet for
eakfast, and when we start out
ain, the sun has broken through the

ke. so we start walking, loaded down
tn fishing tackle and other para
ernalia.

esently we are on its rocky banks.

So we fish for another hour without
results. They aren't striking beneath,
so we try skimming the surface with
the lures.
Still no bass. So we sit down on the
bank and scratch our heads. trying to
figure out some way to fool these willy
creatures.
1T seems foolish to say it, Ike" l
finally suggest, but those bass must
be in the shadows! We've ripped the
deep water open, and if they were
there. we would have snagged one or
two of them before now"
"All right, let's try"
