How Tom Marshall Met the
Fighting Channel Cat Fish
The fighting channel catfish of the j
Mississippi river. Holden in .his book ,
on Big Game Fish of the United |
States ignores the channel cat as a ;
game fish. The male is a real care- ;
taker and defender of their young, j
guarding their nests and eggs, which j
are usually covered with a layer of !
stones. Unlike the bass and pickerel |
the catfish are non-cannabilistic, pro- j
'ecting instead of lunching u P° r | j
their offspring. The Silurida family :
of catfish are really a table delicacy. ;
They were named after the night|
prowling felines on account of their '
long barbels or feelers about jheir j
mouths, resembling the whiakers of :
a cat. Heads are large with a wide :
mouth, eyes are very_small, they are |
covered with a smooth scaleless,
slippery skin. The Mississippi river
produces specimens four to six feet
in length, weighing fifty to 125 :
pounds. Usually caught in bait nets, ,
by fishermen, and they command top j
price on the tish market as food. The
small channel or silver cattish I
known to fishermen as "fiddlers" or j
"musicians" must not be confused ,
with "horned pouts" or "bull heads." ;
Egypt has a catfish which swims In j
reversed position, the belly upward, j
When alarmed they immediately re- i
v ert to their normal position to es
cape more rapidly.
Immediately above the little city
of Keithsburg, 111., a railroad bridge
had been construc ted across the Mis- !
sissippi river. Wing dams had been j
run out from both main shores, forc

channel under the draw span, creut- ;
ing a rapid current below the bridge, |
a deep channel which was a mecca
for catfish of all sizes. Handlinin'g |
was a favorite fishing phstime at this
point. With my friend, O. H. Lloyd, :
we had fine success landing "fid- j

and chicken intestines was seductive. |

Uncle Sam Juices
Up Porto Rico
With Army Sports
Wanhlgton, Oct. 19. —Rallying to
the support ot the athletic work
conducted at Camp Las Casas, San
Juan. Porto Rico, under the direc
tion of J. B. Maccabe. of the War
Department Commission on Train
ing .Camp Activities, a number of
prominent businessmen of San
Juan have organized a ar Ath
letic Committee, the duty of which
I will be to provide the Porto Ricans
I now in training for overseas duty
with athletic supplies to enable
them to enjoy the sports inau
gurated by the Training Camp
Commission.
According to a report received
at the headquarters of the Train
ing Camp Commission, in this city,
the committee was formed at an
enthusiastic meeting of business
men, at which Mr. Maccabe told of
the result ' accomplished from
teaching the soldiers how to play
football, baseball, and kindred
sports. . . ,
Mr. Maccabe has had two
months' experience with the boys
at I .as Casas. The majority of
the soldiers at the big cantonment
never plaved games before the
Training Camp Commission inau
gurated sporfs at the Porto Riean
camp. Now they are playing base
ball and football, and are boxing
and wrestling, with the same en
thusiasm that characterizes the
soldiers of "the States."
"Aside from the mere fun of the
thing." says Mr. Maccabe. "these
games bring muscles into play that
promote agility in their move
ments. Boxing lays the founda
tion for the skillful use of the
bayonet when it comes to the real
work of war. All games tend to
develop the morale of the men and
keep them cheerful."*

tic Committee are: Chairman,

Question: What is the use of two
sights on a shotgun? You say a man
| shoots with both eyes open and sees
, only the flying objects.
Waterloo. lowa. JAMES KNOTT.
Answer. The object of the second
| sight is correct alignment, to keep
: one from firing in a twist, before the
' proper adjustment, absolutely
worthless in game shooting. If both
sights were rerhoved without your
knowledge, your success in wing
shooting with a gun that fit would
;be the same. It is the Hying object
: you watch, not the gun sights.

Meaders, of Nashville, Tenn., a close

as good scores as they did thirty-five
years ago. You will have to ask soma

Rapid Progress Made in
Derry Street Paving Work
Rapid progress is being made by
city highway department employes
who are at work paving Derry street
from Cameron street to a point near.
Sylvan Terrace. The work will prob
ably b€ finished in a week or two '
according to Commissioner W. H.
Lynch.
Bricks for the paving were taken
from the streets which have been
abandoned In the Capitol Park ex
tension zone. Curbing necessary for
the work also was taken from that
district, so that the only cost of the
improvement will be the salaries of
the workmen.
The paving was necessary Mr.
Lynch explained, because during
heavy rains, mud and stones from
Derry street were washed across
Cameron street. at times almost
blocking vehicular and street car
traffic. -
Malted Milk Is Made
(by Former Brewery
Denver, Col. That a brewery can
be converted into a factory fqr.the
manufacture of something more use
ful to mankind than beer Is shown by
the fact that a former brewery at
Golden, Col., transformed into a fac
tory for the making of malted milk.
Is to Increase its output from 1.000
pounds to 5.000 pounds dally. It Is
also learned that the employed force,
already greater than that existing in
brewery is to receive an in
crease in wages by the first of the
year.
Practically the same brewing force,
as to size, took up the manufacture
of malted milk when beer-making
ceased. The sales force of the insti
tution, however, was greatly enlarged.
Although an Infant industry, upward
of thirty men are on the road to-day
for this concern. Meanwhile, great
herds of dairy cattle in the vicinity of
Golden are supported almost solely
by the demands of this company for
their product.

Miss McDowell held that her offense,
if any, was in disclosing the state of
her mind and her beliefs, and that
there was no elment of behavior or
conduct in a mere belief.
Justice Philbin held that her con
tention that in spite of her views
against the war, she might still be
able to do her full duty as a teacher
in the classroom, could not be upheld.

| Liberty Bond Arguments j
From Front in France !
Extracts from a letter received !
this morning from Samuel Ellen
berger Phillips, of Medical Depart-;
. ment, Three Hundred Fourteenth |
Infantry, American Expeditionary j
Forces, are strong arguments for the i
success of the Fourth Liberty Loan |
drive. The two sons of Dr. C. R.
| Phillips reached France early in
July and since then have been stead
• ily moving toward the front. They
: are now in the fighting. These ob
■ i serrations of the younger son were
' J based upon his impressions of the
j country through which "lie moved.
. I peopled entirely by the peasant
> class:
i "I see by the New York Herald,
' European edition, that the Fourth
: Liberty Loan is now on. I wish
America could take a five-minute
glance at France before that loan is
pushed. It woulcr go over the top
so high that it would be out of sight.
I was talking lost night with two
r old French people whose only son
has been a prisoner for five months,
! and was trying to show them the
difference between France and the
United States and the superiority of
the latter. It was utterly Impossible.
That made me wonder if you folks
at home realized the difference.
Imagine If you can these poor peas
ants driving the cows and sheep
down the main street and. watering
them at a public fountain in the
square. Imagine streets of mud and
drinking water from wells. Imagine
the women doing their family wash
ing at the public watering place and
using stones for a washboard. Im
agine never seeing a trolley car or
an automobile except the big army
trucks —imagine everything at least
one hundred years behind the times
—candles and oil being used fof
lighting purposes, the people with
out any know-ledge of sewage,
plumbing or sanitation. It is truly
wonderful to see the towns clean
up and begin to shine with a new
. splendor within half an hour from
| the time the troops pull into them.
We will teach these people things
about sanitation that they never
knew before.
"Imagine the women—for there
are no men except the very old or
the crippled home on furloughs—
j working in the fields from parly
morning until late at niglit and never
getting through with their work.
One cannot give credit enough to the
French for their part in the war.
When I get down in the mouth I
just look about me and see with
my own eyes the evidence of their
faith in themselves and I Just buck
up right there. But don't misunder
stand me. I never get discouraged.

looks mighty good to me and I wish

GAME SEASON TO
STARTMONDAY
Fair Amounts of Small Game
in the State; Grouse Pro
tected Very Generally
between influenza "and war It is
not believed that the number of
men who will be out in the fields
and woods of Pennsylvania for the
opening of the Keystone State small
game season will be as large as
expected. Sales of hunters' licenses
w „ er ? r ®P°<ted as brisk to the offices
of the State Game Commission have
fallen off rapidly in the last two
weeks and it is considered here that
this condition together with a
slackening of the demand for am
munition reported by many stores
is due to the prevalence of the in
fluenza epidemic. It is regarded as
certain that the outbreak will keep
many residents of the cities who
seldom miss the opening day of the
bird season from going out on Mon
day.
Dr. Joseph Kalbfus. secretary of
the State Game Commission, says
that the bulk of the reports coming
to him are favorable. There are'
quail where they have been taken
care of; the ring necked pheashnt
we turned loose have done well and
the native birds seem to have
season and (here should be some
good sport in Pennsylvania is the
way ho sums it up. The ruffed
grouse may not be shot, but the
woodcock will be legal game after
Monday. Dr. Kalbfus says that the
blackbirds have not all gone yet.
Squirrels are so numerous as to be
a nuisance to some sections of the
state and a proposition to remove
the protection from red squirrels,
on which there is no bag limit, is
being agitated. Gray squirrels are
also abundant and so are rabbits in
many sections of the state.
The wild turkeys, which will be
legal game next month, are becom
ing "sassy" according to some re
ports here and there have been many
deer seen, the presence of the ani
mals being reported in many sec
tions, some of them being in fields
and close to main highways. The
bear season has opened, but there
will not be much hunting of bruin
until it gets good and cold. Bears
have been giving evidence of pres
ence in northern counties.
Influenza has tied up all ship
ments of young lish from the state
hatcheries for planting, but it seems
to have sent more men out after
the late fall bass and the salmon
than usual. And there have been
more men out after ducks than is
generally'the case in the middle of
October. State Fishery authorities,

Makers
who have been bothered considerably
by the foreigners who have been
dynamiting streams and catching
fish with nets, have joined hands
with the Game wardens and state
police to clean up the illegal liah
ers and hunters and to confiscate
the guns and other firearms which
foreign born men have been dis
playing. Thanks to outdoor work
few of the fish wardens have been
tuken ill with the epidemic, but at
the hatcheries the men have been
badly hit and all shipments of "sun
nies", bass and trout have been
cancelled until further notice. "This
is regrettable, indeed," said Com
missioner of Fisheries Nathan H.
Buller, "because the weather is fine
for planting fish and we were well
on the way to attain the 1,500,000
mark for young trout distributed
this year. If we can get the men
and are assured of sportsmen be
ing at tine other end of the line to
receive and distribute the fish we
will resume shipments."
Gate bass fishing has been pro
nounced fair, while the Susquehanna
salmon or wall eyed pike have been
furnishing some capital sport for
fishermen in eastern sections of the
state. Autumn fishing seems to be
more popular than ever.

delay in naming an o'.fccer to handle
work which created so much stirjin
the last legislative session was forth
coming from the office of the acting
commissioner of health to-day. The
late Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon
was gveatly interested in" the organi
zation of this fight, but no announce
ment of any action was made until
to-day.
During the present influenza epi
demic Dr. Blair will assist the work
of the State Department of Health in
