National Outboard Association, after
a survey by his Office.
Another of those heartening ru-
mors have reached town. There's no
way of checking it so we pass 1t
along for what it's worth. The rumor
is that the first marlin of the season
has been landed off Cape Charles. 1t
was reported taken several days ago,
and we heard about it from man
who was talking to a man on the
Cape Charles Norfolk Ferry who
caught the marlin.
Ocean City still is waiting hope
fully for its first marlin. Last year 1t
was taken on June is and the year
before on June %, so 1t seems to be
about time that something was hap
pening in spite Of the late winter
that put everything back a few
weeks. In the meanwhile they are
catching lots of bottom feeders
there, such as porgies, sea bass,
weaks and kingfish.
One of the hatcheries Of the Bu-
reau of Fisheries, or rather the Fish
and Wild Life Service as it now is
called, is using a novel method of
supplying food for its fish. Sub
merged red and green neon lights
are used to attract insects to the
water where. they fall into the maws
Of hungry fish. Heretofore hatch
cries used the light principle by
suspending a bulb a few feet above
the water, but this new method
supplies much better feeding condi-
tions.

A. By GEORGE HUBER.

Fishing is picking up in the up
per part of Chesapeake Bay. Catch
ers around Shady Side and Galesville
are getting better, and Capt. Arlie
Baker of North Beach reports he
has made some fine night hauls on
the Gooses. All these are hardhead
returns, with some rock being taken
by shrimp cumming over on the
Eastern Shore.
Shrimp is available in limited
quantities and on one days notice
at Shady Side, but the cost is heavy
and so far there have been no takers.
Consequently, no rock have been
caught there, although some prob
ably will be as soon as it is tried.
There are signs that stripers are
around.
Capt. Bob Lee of Shady Side has
made an addition to his fleet, big
boat 81 feet long and designed espe-
cially for those large parties which
want to be together. This new boat
now ranks with the Sylvia at North
Beach and the Sea Cloud at Solo,
mons as one Of the largest on the
Bay.
And speaking of boats used for
fishing, both anglers and boatmen
probably will be surprised to learn
that fishermen constitute the most
numerous portion of the power boat
fraternity and that this summer
nearly 100000 outboards alone will
be Used for fishing.

"how much did Mr.. Luke Granville
pay you for acting as his butler and
handy man?"
Laval started and his eyes in their
cavernous sockets shifted uneasily.
Hundred and twenty a month, sir"
he answered. His voice was tone
less.
That's interesting" Chalmers re-
marked drily, "in view of the fact
that you have two bank accounts
that we know of which contain
small fortunes. How do you do it?"
Horses, sir"
Horses? Chalmers frowned sus-
piciously. "I'd like to know your
system!"
"It's Mr.. smithson's tips, sir.
They're always good"
"Oh," Chalmers said, $50 Mr..
Smithsons racing fan, too?"
I'm small way" Smithson ad-
mitted, his expression quite calm
and unmarried. II never had much
money to spend on the tips myself"
I've been lucky!" Laval explained
eagerly.
II wouldn't trust my luck too far,
Laval" Chalmers said. He snapped
his notebook shut. "The papers are
clamoring for suspect, but I can't
very well offer them half a dozen
suspects. Even Mr.. Smithson here,
respectable lawyer that he is comes
definitely under suspicion when
$4,000 disappears and one learns
that he bets on horses. In fact,
the only one Of the lot of you who
hasn't come under suspicion def
nitely is Merit here, and by all the
rules Of current mystery fiction he's
the logical suspect" He gave Merit
q rueful look. Except" he added,
that I don't relish the idea of
Merits having killed his own
brother, and anyway he was in New
Haven"
HE wasn't my blood brother"
