EAST OF HAMBURG, PA.
On the southern slope of the Blue Mountains,
four miles east of Hamburg, is a field of mam-

The rocks, bluish in color, are thought to have

“MOMS, BEN’S GOING to get

mother that afternoon. “I don’t

THE SHOCKING STORY of the
fire tumbled from Phoebe’s lips
two minutes after she appeared
in her aunt’s Washington
Square apartment. It took Miss
Palmer some time to grasp
what had actually happened.
She couldn’t believe that Joe
Rosicki would do a thing like
that.
“But if Joe needed money so
much, why on earth didn’t he
come to me? I'd have let him
have it gladly. Oh, his pride, I
suppose. Phoebe, have you any
idea where he’ll go?”
“No, Aunt Bea. I don’t think
he has any place to go after he
gets out of the hospital. Ruth’s
staying with mother now.”
“Well!” Aunt Bea frowned.
“Well, I wonder if I couldn’t
help them out. There’s that
bungalow of mine over in the
woods. It’s not anything really,
but a summer camp, but it’s
furnished. I wonder if they
couldn’t manage there for a
while?”
“I should think they could.”
Miss Palmer put down her
knitting. “Ill telephone the
house this minute. Maybe it’ll
put Ruth’s mind at rest, the
poor child.”
‘Phoebe could hear Ruth’s
high excited voice over the wire
thanking Aunt Bea over and
over. “Poor child,” Miss Palmer

chair. “I declare, I'm getting so

SMALL COLLECTION OF FISH LURES
SATISFACTORY,
IT IS EASY to go hog-wild on
the matter of artificial lures.
What with the tackle stores
- carrying a thousand different
types of baits, and with smooth
salesmen plucking at the old
sleeve, offering suggestions, it
is a lucky fisherman who
emerges solvent from one of
these emporiums.
There are only a few different
types of effective casting lures,
however, and the careful buyer
will recognize that fact. While
the styles vary into” infinity,
the types are pretty limited.
And it always has been my
opinion that, if the fish are hit-
ting on one particular type, any
style of that type will take fish.
There are spoons, for instance.
You can buy them in 100 dif-
ferent styles, but they have
pretty much the same action
and the same appearance in the
water. Your tackle box should
contain a few of this type.

the wabblers and the straight
swimmers. You should have
some of each, in a few popular
finishes—providing the budget
will stand the strain,
There are the spinners all-ine
all among the best in artificial
casting baits. But their princi-
ple is all the same, or nearly so.
Be sure to have a few of these.
But don’t try to get them all,
unless you are a multi-million
aire and feel like selling the
family yacht.
Some of the most effective of
all casting lures for bass, pike
and fish of similar tastes, are
the pork chunk varieties. In
lily pads, where large fish lurk
in small secluded pockets, these
baits are particularly effective,
They give a thrill to the fisher
man, too, for the fish hits them
on the top of the water,
In buying remember to have
a fair variety of bait types—
