Swimming Cats.

America has more than its share
OF catfish, but the fish-eating public
turns its back on the ugly catfish,
except the few who appreciate the
excellent flavor of catfish meat.
No matter how kindly hammered
the fisherman is. he refuses to wax
eloquent about the catfish he has
met.
The family of cathshes is large
one. There are more than 100 genera
and nearly 1000 species. Most of
the species are fresh-water species,
so you find them inhabiting rivers
of warmer countries; especially is
this true in South America and
Africa, where very large cats are
found.
The Great Lakes catfish is known
in Arctic America and southwark.
In the Great Lakes the cat weighs
from Is to IS pounds and is con-
sidered here of commercial I'm
portance, usually taken on set lines.
In the lakes Of British America, this
catfish is very abundant Indians
called it the ugly fish," trappers
land cod |"
The Potomac or white cat is very
well known from Delaware to Texas
being most common in the coastwise
streams and swamps. In the Poto-
mac and Chesapeake Bay and in
Florida, you can rarely 60 fishing
without hauling up one or more cats.
This is the catfish that was so sue
|cessfully introduced into California.
As fish Of commercial Importance,
IT holds its own with the Great
Lakes catfish. Like all catfishes, it
has a remarkably wide head and
large mouth.
The body of the catfish is more or
less elongate. The head carries
fleshy barbels, called "cat's whiskers, .

clouding. This cat reaches length

In the yellow cat from Texas, we
find short, chubby fish less than a
pound and frequently sold for black
bullhead.
The Mississippi cat, known as the
blue cat, is found throughout the
Mississippi Valley and the Gulf
States in the larger streams, lakes
and bayous. About 100000 pounds
are shipped each year to special
markets, this cat reaches a length
of S feet. During the autumn and
winter fishing is done at the bottom

The catfish father has often been
cited for his sense of family re-

MONTICELLO, ILL.,, Oct. o.
The Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard,
is. j., known as the Glacier
Priest" says the North Pole may
not have been discovered by Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary, but by the
late Dr.. Frederick A. Cook.
Father Hubbard, widely known
as an Alaskan explorer in his own
right. told lecture audience here,
that 800 trips made over the pole
in recent years by the United
States Air Force have confirmed
DR., Cooks description of the po-
lar area but show nothing to bear
out Admiral Peary's description. -
After both explorers laid claim
to the discovery. a controversy
existed for years as to who ac-
tually found the North Pole. Dr..
Cook made his trip in April, 1908,
and Admiral Peary in April, 1909.
The priest said the Peary expedi-
ton was made under the spon-
sorship of the National Geo.
graphic Society.
Or. Gilbert Grosvenor, pres
ident of the National Geo.
graphic Society, refused to
comment on the story. He
said he might have a state
ment Monday after he has OBJ
tanned the text of Father Hub
bard's address,
Most encyclopedias and al
manacs list Admiral Peary as the
discoverer, Father Hubbard de-
clared, because their information
was furnished by the society. He
asserted the society Suppressed
information on Cooks trip"
The priest. whose most. recent
assignment was with the 10th Air
Rescue Squadron in Alaska, said
Admiral Peary's description of the
area around the North Pole was
that it was smooth" and that
the last several hundred miles
were "easy going"
In contrast, he continued, DR..
Cook said the region was broken
up in pressure ridges, ice blocks
and open water with rough ter
rain over which it is hard going
Air Force observations coincide
with DR.. Cooks description,
Father Hubbard stated.
DR.. Cook died August 5, 1910,
at II, still seeking recognition
of his claim to discovery of the
pole. The discredit cast on his
story when he first made his

Cross-Ruff Technique Requires
Cashing High Cards.

The technique of the cross-ruff is
not very difficult. The problem as
to whether or not to play for
cross-ruff is sometimes harder to
solve. Declarer may have the fur
ther choice of setting up side suit
In dummy and the selection of the
better line of play involves the use
of sound judgment rather than the
application of fixed rules.
One thing is certain Before en-
barking on the cross-ruff voyage the
player should be able to count In
high cards and ruffs the number of
tricks required to fulfill contract,
always bearing in mind that if the
lead is ever relinquished the oppo-
nents will no doubt lead trumps IN
an attempt to spoil the party.
In today's hand South became the
declarer at a contract of six dia-
monds, doubled. which he failed to
fulfill because he overlooked a fun
damental principle of cross-ruff
technique, which is the prompt cash.
i'm of high cards.
The bidding was somewhat weird.
No one seemed to have clear idea
Of what was going on and all ap-
peared to be swept away in the bid
ding rhythm. South's refusal to
pass the fve-spade bid around to
his partner, who might wish to apply
the ak, was gem Of improperly,
but is not the point at issue.
The king of spades was opened
and ruffed, then a club was ruffed
in dummy and another spade in the
closed hand. This thing went mer-
rily on until the fourth round of
spades, at which point East dis
carded the nine of hearts. Declarer
now awoke to the necessity of CASH
ing heart tricks, but it was too late.
He was able to cash only one of
them and East was able to ruff
the. other and return trump.
Declarer had been blessed with
great fortune All his trumps were
high, so that there was no danger
of an overruff He could count
five diamond tricks in each hand
and the ace and king of hearts for
q total of IL tricks But in cross
rufing it is imperative to cash the
high cards early in the play. The
reason is that as you proceed on
your criss-cross adventure one Of
the adversaries is going to run out
of the suit you are rufflng and will
be at liberty to take discards. They
will naturally discard the suit in
which you have your high cards, as
In this case East discarded a heart.
To repeat: When cross-ruff1ng,
cash your high cards early.
