ton by the Mexican senate which
literally dissolved the international
border as far as American troop

The senate in secret session ap-
proved the legislation which had
been urged by President Manuel
AVila Camacho, who said he con-
sidcred the move indispensable
in view of the grave and evidenG
danger" to Mexico which would
result from the slightest weakness
in continental defense.
Although there was no confirma-
tlor. it was reported here that "a
number of American troops" were
stationed at strategic places along
the border and it was believed that
lhcy might have moved across after
formal signing of the legislation
ate yesterday.
The senate. without announce
mcnt, met and passed the legiSla-
tion which Camacho had submitted
for passage on Dec 16
Specifically the measure permits
ships and seaplanes of other Amer

| They are cultivated and distributed
by private and official agents. The
methods employed in the propaga-
ton of bass and other pond fishes
are very different from the methods
which must be followed for raising
! trout.
Black bass cannot be deprived of
mature eggs to be placed in a
| hatchery for development, as can
be done with other fishes. The nat
ural and more normal method must
be followed, and this is highly tech
nical problem facing those who are
propagating bass for distribution.
Father black bass not only defends
his spawning territory, but also
guards the eggs, doing so with the
greatest determination and ZeSt. The
female has no interest in her off,
spring whatever, departing as soon
as the eggs have been deposited in
| the nest built by the male.
The ponds selected for the black
bass nursery always have an abun-
dance of vegetation throughout the
summer. The plants are usually Of
the submerged type, including both
rooted and f1lamentous agae. All
black bass are carnivorouS, the
young feeding mostly on insects, the
adults on smaller fishes, frogs and
crayfiSh.
The natural habits of the large
mouth bass are such as to make it
an ideal pond fish. 1t loves warm
water, especially muddy water that
is sluggish. Nursery ponds can be
made to yield an income that would
be highly satisfactory, and in the
same areas HERETOFORE producing
many generations of mosquitoes and
such pests. There is slight expense
involved in the production of fry, a
much greater cost in producing
fingerlings 1t is believed that from
10000 to $4,000 fry per acre is the
correct stocking number. All other
things being equal, artificial feeding
would not have to be taken into
consideration with this number of
fry.
Naturally, the black bass ranges
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico,
and from the Atlantic Coast to the
Rocky Mountains. 1t has been sue
cessfully introduced in the Pacific
States and into several European

countries. Its maximum weight Is
established and said to be from IL tc
Is pounds in Southern waters
though in most localities 1t does not
weigh more than six pounds and the
average is three pounds. In the
South this bass is always referred
to as trout" The large-mouth
black bass is the largest and most
important member of the family
and is as delicious as the small
mouth as food, though slightly less
aggressive as a game fish.
The large mouth bass has 10 rows
of scales on its cheek, the small
mouth has IT rows. The mouth of
the large-mouth extends back of the
eye. also it has a more or less we'll
defined broad longitudinal stripe
along the middle of the side and nc
cross bars.
Normally, female lays from 2,00C
to 10000 eggs, according to her size
The eggs may hatch in from one to
two weeks. The young remain in
their nest for several days living on
their food sac, then they rise to
the surface in a school and hover
over the nest for several days before
scattering. Until this period of dis
posal the father remains on duty.

Meeting Arranged
In New York
Friday

Enthusiastic acceptances have
been received by Mrs. John L.
Whitehurst, president of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
to invitations sent to heads of
women'S organizations for a meet
ing in New York to discuss mobiliza-
ton of women for national defense
The meeting will be held at 10 am
Friday at the Biltmore Hotel. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Whitehurst, re-
sponses to her telegraphed mes
sages, sent throughout the country,
indicate that women are eager for
an "all out" effort for defense. The
presidents are expressing the be-
lief, said Mrs Whitehurst, that the
time has come for united move
ment on the part of women who
declare that they wish to be a part
of it.
THE purpose of this meeting is
to give opportunity for all organized
groups to tell what they want to do
and what they can do to strengthen
the defense of our democratic in
etitutions in the graVest crisis that
has ever confronted the Nation, "
Mrs. Whitehurst explained.
Mrs. Whitehurst said she does not
believe in conscription of the Ma
tons woman power, represented by
40,000,000 enrolled in national or
ganizations, as she thinks sufficient
volunteers will be found for service.
"I have already received over 1000
letters from women asking for
something definite to do she said.
Mayor La Guardia of New York,
new head of the Office of Civilian
Defense, has been asked to address
the meeting and Mrs. Whitehurst

With an awakened interest all
over the Nation in the problem of
conservation, there has been also an
increasing demand for the so-called
warm-water game fishes for stocking
purposes. The demand for large
mouth and small-mouth black bass
has exceeded the supply. Since the
waters adapted to these fishes are
much more extensive than the spots
suitable for trout, it therefore be-
comes imperative that more efficient
methods of propagating bass must
be studied to meet the urgent need.
The black BASES are American
fishes that have been written about
more than any other game fishes.
