pulled them in. One man and his
wife had a 2-pound lard pail
packed almost solid with these
toothsome little fish. which he
said he would put in his deep
freeze and feast on them for
weeks to come.
Catching smelt when we were
in our teens was considered quite
a sport. We well remember TAX
ing the street car to Benning and
fishing for them in the Anacos-
tia River. There we saw a rig
for catching smelt we never have
seen since. One old timer had
wired the denuded steel ribs of
an umbrella open and cut the
handle off close to the catch.
From each rib tip he suspended
a short lenght of line with small
hook attached. The hook was
baited with a bit of worm. This
gave him spreader arrangement
with eight hooks. He'd lower
this by handline attached to
the frame tip. let it stay in the
water for perhaps two minutes
and then haul it in with five or
six wriggling smelt. We watched
him with fascination and envy.
Smelt seemed to run bigger those
days, but perhap our size played
a part in judging theirs.
We chatted with many old
timers who just came down for
the outing and to greet old
friends and make new ones. Milt
Gordon was in great demand,
taking pictures which were de-
veloped in the camera and pre-
sented to the subject on the spot.
Ben Dement, for whom the day
was named, made genial host:
Lou Gramlich's hot-dog and cof-
fee stand were prime favorites.
If you've never attended one of
these outings you've missed
much. But don't ever expect to
catch many fish unless you're a
smelt fisherman.

One of the long and famous
rivers of Africa is the Niger
pronounced NY-jur). Draining
more than half a million square
miles on the western side of
Africa. it empties into the Gulf
of Guinea. which is part Of
the Atlantic Ocean.
Here is a strange fact about
the Niger: This river is $500
miles long. but its main head
stream is only $50 miles from the
shore of the Atlantic! The
answer is that the Niger has
almost the shape of a gigantic
half circle. Rising in mountains
far to the west. the river flows

it bends southwark and goes to

That's because I ate a pill

But before Willie could finish
a terrible thing happened. The

may try on u.s."
But even if Willie had had
more magic he could not have
used it. He could not even draw
a breath he was so crowded in
the pot.
The queen could stand it no
longer. You are MASKING mel"

MAPS: One day. when an
instructor in military sci
ence. Gen. John j. Pershing
was giving a lesson in map
reading to a group of newly
commissioned officers. Each
pair of second lieutenants
was given a map and sent
out to locate a designated
point.
The maps were somewhat
outdated. and a number of
minor changes had taken
place in the terrain since
they were printed. Pershing
came upon two lieutenants
hunched over their maps
and puzzled.
There's something wrong
here. sir" complained one.
This isn't the right terrain.
It's not the same as that on
the map"

a grin, "let us assume that
the terrain is correct"

relax until they were all safely
in the umbrella and on the way
to Santa Land.
Then Willie lay back in ex-
haustion while the Dreamlins
told their queen of their long
adventure to save her and how
Willie had helped.
The queen said, What an un-
selfish dog!"
Willie heard her say he was

he leaped into the air.
But alas! Willie still could not
fly.

fine unselfiish thing to do? Why

Willie" said Santa. true un-
selfishness is something that
grows IN the heart. I cannot ex-
plain it,"
II shall never fly" said Willie.
He gazed longingly at the REIN
deer waiting patiently to fly
away with Santa. "Oh. / did so
want to 60 with you tonight" he
cried.
You do not have to fly to 60

But it's hard enough to get
Mr.. Fusty to bid four card suits,
let alone three card suits. and
he ended up in a tough contract
of five diamonds.
While his bidding may lack
certain modern refinementS,
there is nothing wrong with his
dummy play. The jack of spades
was opened and it looked like
he'Would have to lose two spades
and a club.
He saw one chance for the
contract. based on the hope that
the ace of clubs was in Mrs.
Keen's hand. He could get rid
of a spade loser on dummy's
queen of clubs if he played prop
erly.
OF course, it was a guess as to
whether Mrs. Keen had one or
two spades, but Mr.. Fusty
guessed it right. He played her
for two and let her hold the
first trick with the jack of
spades.
On came the deuce of spades
and dummy's ace won. Mr..
Fusty cashed the ace and king
of diamonds, then laid down the
king of clubs. AS hoped, Mrs.
Keen showed up with the ace
of clubs and when she hesitated
over her return Mr.. Fusty knew
his play had been successful.
Finally. Mrs. Keen led the
eight of hearts. Mr.. Fusty won
with the king. cashed the ace
and ruffed a third heart on the
board. His last spade was dis
carded on the queen of clubs.
If he had won the first trick
there would have been no play
for II tricks because. on winning
with the ace of clubs, Mrs. Keen
would have had spade to lead
and Miss Brash could have
cashed two quick winners in that
suit.
