Rockfish are making nuisances
Of themselves at all popular CheSa-
peake Bay fishing points. They
get in each others way trying to
snap UP the anglers offerings.
The most ravenous ones are
found off Ridge, Md. but Her
ring Bay is checked full of them,
and Solomon's Island has its share
as well as the dukedom Of rock
fish, Tall Timbers.
Listen to the glowing tale Of Rob
Drury and his gang. They went out
Tuesday off st. Jerome Creek,
hard by Ridge, Md. and returned
with I'll fabulously large rockfish.
They sailed forth again WedneS-
day and found themselves bur
dened down with 104. Sounds al
most like summer tales of croaker
catches. They nabbed 'em trolling
with yellow feathers.
HERRING BAY OKAY
Herring Bay rewarded a party
Wednesday with so bambinos OF
the waves. Dick Kinemont and
w. G. Becker came in with a nl1ty
haul off Breezy Point.
You freShwater fish chasers
lend a shelLlike ear to Doug Wat
son. Doug, George Cook and
Benny Dement, slipped down to
their own extra private fishing
spot below Marshall Hall Sunday
and were they thrilled.
Doug's line was a bit loose so
he cast it out so he could rewind
it. Hardly had the hook sunk be-
meath the water level before a
33A-pound bass struck it and made
for parts unknown. Watson reeled
| it in and cast out again. Almost
Immediately a twopounder took
the bait. He was quickly brought
to boat, and Doug cast again. For
the third time in less than three
minutes a bass hit his line. 1t
was another two-pounder.
GOOD THINGS MUST END
But Watson was able to pick
only two more Of them though ne
fished for several hours after that
Cook landed 8 and Dement,, 5.
Tidal Basin continues to keer
the anglers on the qui vive. Al

It's no easy job being experimental
BABY to girls in the District high
schools taking home economics, and
the way has at last been opened to
get a couple Of assistants for the over
worked set Of dolls at the Dennison
Vocational School.
The School Board approved placing
these "lay figures on the approved
list Of materials for the courses in
which they are used. These are child
care and development and home care
Of the sick and convalescent.
Used to demonstrate nursing prac-
tices, the Dennison models of a T.
month-old baby and 5-year-old
child, the only ones in the school
system, have been carted around the
city to the high schools where home
economics is taught. There they are
put in bed and nursing students per-
form the customary rites.
"We find it is impractical and un-
wise to use human beings for the
practice work." Emma S. Jacobs, di-
rector Of home economics in divisions
to 8, declared. 1--WE do, however, use
the student wherever possible"
In asking for two new sets of dolls,
the director explained that 1t was
necessary to get q very lifehke image

Is about 18 inches long and made Of
rubber. The 5-year-old model is made

centration is in Rock Greek Park,
where there are about 10000 trees.
Three-quarterS of this number are
found in the vicinity of Ross drive
and Ridge, Military and Daniels roads.

sponsoring "dogWood day celebra-
ton" Sunday. From 2:30 to $50 m.

picked each baby up in her forepaws
and gave it bath with her tongue.
From North Dakota came a flag
squirrel which has 13 stripes down
It's back and a sprinkling of stars be-
tween the stripes.
A feature of the new display build
ing is semi-circular room devoted
to nocturnal creatures The walls
are done in dark blue tile and the
ceiling Is dark. The room will have
indirect lighting to simulate moon
light. It is hoped the night-prowling
creatures will be stimulated to greater
activity by the subdued lights. In the
past these animals have lain dormant
through the day and have not made
much OF a showing for the public.
Aquariums Provided.
Several glass walled tanks and
aquariums have been provided for
water creatures or amphibians. The
arrangement Of the tanks permits
spectators to see the animals SWIM
ming under water.
A few finishing touches remain to
be put on the great cages where the
apes will be displayed behind walls
OF plate glass. The glass protects the
apes from possible contagion, since
they are susceptible to colds, and the
public from strong odors.
Zoo officials have traded some deer
and other specimens for an adult
chimpanzee now at the Philadelphia
Zoo. The chimp will replace Soko, a
great ape who died at the ZOO recently
after more than a score of years on
display here. The new chimp is
expected in about week.
1t will be several weeks yet before
the elaborate new Pachyderm House is
opened to the public. The interior is
almost finished, but details must be
worked out before the elephants,
rhinos and hippos can be turned
into the outdoor yards. These yards
are separated from the public by
moats and low walls of sharp stone. /.
