to fish in the surf although I never
caught a fish over long period last
season. Where am 1 at fault?"
Surf fishing requires not only the
knowledge of what the fish are feed
ing on and their habits, but also
the action of the water along the
beach so that you will know where
to fish. The line of breakers Is the
telltale of a bar. Where they stop
is the deeper water of a slough. Cast
your bait there for the fish often
feed on she small crabs washed off
the bar. When fishing a straight
beach cast out as far as possible,
wait several minutes and reel in sew
eral feet. Continue until your bait
is in to the breakers on the beach
or you have found the distance at
which the fish are feeding. "Hors-
ing" a fish in the surf is the great
est mistake of the beginner. The
drag of the receding break added
to the pull of the fish is just too
much for the line. Another is the
snap to get diStance-old surfmen
often throw their rigs away so it is
little wonder that the novice does
it often. Surfmen are so enamored
of their sport they usually want
every one to know and like it, too.
We never have encountered one on
any beach that wasn't willing to
teach the novice They are any be-
ginner's best bet. Don't be stand
offish-make their acquaintance.
Bay and Sea Trout Same.
A. W., Takoma, Md.-"Are sea
trout the same trout as caught in
the Chesapeake?'
The bay trout and the sea trout
are one and the same fish. In Jer-
sey they go by the name Of weak
fish, in New England they become
the squeteague. There actually are
two trout, the common gray and
the Southern, or salmon trout. The
former with pronounced green back
markings shading to white under
meath. The salmon trout or spotted
weakfish (synoscion nebulosus) has
a darker green on the back with a
pinkish cast on the sides and well
marked over the sides and fms with
black spots. Their range oyerlaps
that of the Northern trout. In the
Chesapeake they usually are found
well down toward the capes, seldom
in large numbers. Four pounds is
a large fish here, although offshore
and in tideways they occasionally
are caught up to II and IA pounds.

Questions Answered for Anglers

The hot weather has played hob
with the inclinations of the f1nny
tribe to accept baited hooks for
several week-ends. Just what to-
morrow and Sunday has in store
for the fishing fraternity is hard to
say. Just as difficult would be try
ing to foretell what time of the day
or night will produce the best fish
ing, for the last six days offered
no criterian. There is no doubt
fish will feed during some period of
every "a hours, and in that time
the fishing will be all any one
could ask, because there never has
been more. or larger, fish in the Bay
and the Potomac.
The hardhead, big ones, too. are
mostly in the deep water. Boats
from Annapolis to Point Lookout
are fishing the steamboat channel
Trout are on the hard bottom and
shell. The same is true Of spot.
Shadyside boats are fishing
mostly in Eastern Bay on the other
side-on the Hilltop" for hardhead,
trout, spot and King William perch.
The striper schools are where you
find them-in the same area. White
shrimp for the hardhead. peelers
and soft crab bats for the trout
and bloodworms for the spot and
perch. while shore shrimp Is the
best bait for striped bass. Find
them raising and June bug spinner
with bloodworm. small eels. or any
bright small spoon will take them

Big Hardhead Plentiful.
Herring Bay shippers will fish the
Gooses for those who prefer it, but
there equally is good fishing in the
deep water off Holland Point. Few
stripers have been caught here so
far but the catches of big hardhead
seem to be just what the individual
cares to make them. Small trout
are becoming more plentiful while
spot are large and numerous on the
edge Of the bar. Some boats fish
under Poplar Island and Tilghmans.
Chesapeake Beach boats fish the
same grounds, while the Breezy
Point and Kenwood Beach guide,

fair number of trout and stripers

smaller bass are being caught or

the larger ones on Town Point and

The settled weather should bring
better white marlin fishing at Ocean
City and the trout and channel bass
back on the beaches. The reef fish,

tinues good.
Surf Fishing Expounded.

viduals new in this area about such

Washington, July 28-The housing problem in, the United States may be solved with less difficulty than according to housing ex- perts here. Canada has a similar housing headache, has been working furiously to clear 1t up, and is pass ing on to us all the lessons she Is learning.
 Perhaps the most important part of the problem which Canada is working on-which also confronts the U. S.--is the development of low cost housing which will last through the years as well as ease the tenn porary shortage created by the war.
 Canadian Progress
 Canada already has made consid- erable headway in beginning to solve this problem, developing and build ing a number of fine, attractive houses at a price range between $2,- 500 and $3,750. These homes have basement walls of 10-inch solid con+ crete. exterior walls of 9-inch brick, interior finish of plaster on tnsu- 1hL6u p1dSIcI pdSCs CAOOA0 d1V AAeN4A- wood with pine and fir trim, and there is complete plumbing. The heating system in most cases Is warm air and the roofing is of fire resistant asphalt shingles. The use of asphalt roof shingles reflects the increasing emphasis in both Canada and this country on fire-resistant types of roofing which are both durable and integrally -colored to reduce maintenance costs and im- prove appearances.
 Both in the U. s. and Canada, the lack of housing has been due to two causes. One, greatly expand- ed industrial activity and military concentrations in particular locali- ties due to the war. Two, 8 lack of adequate residential building dur ing the past decade.
 In Canada. even more than in the United States, home building has not been sufficient co reduce the accumulated backlog of the 30's or, in fact, to meet the nor- nal yearly housing requirements,
