—Let’s Go Fishing— BLUEGILL ARE ‘BITING FINE' AT BARBEE LAKE Stan Morgan Reports Catch of Thirty-Eight in Last Two Days. BY LEFTY LEE Time* Fishln* Editor Because yesterday was a legal holiday, the weekly report of the stream conditions from the wardens that the conservation department Issues was not received. We have some letters from resorts in different parts of the state, however, and will present that information. Stan Morgan at Barbee lake says the bluegill are biting fine. He said he and his mother caught thirty-eight on Wednesday afternoon and all fishermen on the lake were catching them. He reports crappies are biting in the west end of the lake. The heavy rain last Sunday and Monday in the northern part of the state has muddied the streams north of Kokomo and it is doubtful if the Wabash, Eel and Tippecanoe rivers have cleared enough for good fishing. Pipe creek also is very muddy. Our advice, if you are going north for the week-end, is to pick your favorite lake. Mill creek, at Owen park, and the Caratract falls are in fine condition and some good catches have been made during the week. Huge channel catfish are providing the sport at Cataract, while the crappie and bass are hitting at Owen park. Here la the story of one of the catches at the Cataract falls. We will reproduce the letter received from E. F. Hartsock, a local angler who knows this water. "Dear Lefty—Here is one for the book. Frank Smith, C. A. Luther, Jim Colwell and I were fishing at Cataract falls in a particular hole w’e like and where we have been chasing down a big one all summer. On this last trip, Smith hooked into him again. He was using a tenfoot bamboo pole and had on our favorite line, a No. 4 crochet thread. The monster put up a real battle, but after forty-five minutes Smitty was successful in landing him. The fish, a channel cat, was twenty-nine inches long and weighed ten and one-half pounds. I claim you must be good to land a fish that size on tackle as light as he used. By the way. Smith can produce the head any time but we will eat the meat tonight. Yours for sport.” Shafer and Freeman lakes are in good shape and the crappie and silver bass have been hitting all week. Frank's lodge is a favored spot on Lake Shafer this time of the year, and the anglers who can take it are expected to be out in force over the week-end. A news report states that the city of Greenfield will take advantage of the liberal offer of the federal government and borrow the money to install a sewage disposal plant. This is good news for the angler, as this means the end of any possible pollution of streams from that city. Pollution must go. so we hope 1 that more cities avail themselves of ! the opportunity to install plants of this kind, while this offer of money j is open, at a rate that will not be a burden on the taxpayer of any community that makes the loan. Many anglers have been calling the writer requesting the information as to where they can obtain the Jack's dual spinner. The downtown sporting goods stores should have them, but if you can not obtain them there, the Wendling Bait Company, which makes this spinner, is located at 210 South Pennsylvania street. Eddie Meyer wants to go out after the big ones, but his fishing Buddy can't take it any more, claiming the weather is too cold. After putting in the entire season trying for those big ones it would seem logical that any angler would be anxious to go after them when they are starting to hit. t The boys who play Westlake are asking for one big frost and then some nice Indian summer days. This lake produces some of the largest large mouth bass caught in the state each year and these fellows want to get out and try for a prize winner The large gravel pits south of the city also will entertain some of the fish hounds over the week-end, as there are some big ones there ! that delight in tearing up your j tackle. The boys are working i against time now and hope to make that catch before The Times con- ; test closes, Nov. 1. naughTy"card~bJn SOUGHT BY OFFICIAL Spicy Parisian Pictures May Be Only Memory of Past.

A ‘HIGHLAND FLING’ Royal Scot' Is True Ambassador

I—- . -'*■**”. -

BY WILLIAM M’GAL'GHEY Time* Staff Writer (Written en route from Terre Haute to Indianapolis on the "Royal Scot,” crack train of the London, Midland U Scottish railway.) IN Great Britain they think of the "Royal Scot” as an institution, but in American she is a mechanical marvel. At 11:30, she pulls out of Terre Haute on the dot, and leaps at once into her smooth stride. In three minutes, we are out of the city and flashing over the countryside. The fertile fields of the Wabash valley recede behind us. Chew Bag Pipe, chew Mail Pouch; red cows, red pigs, red barns.

A farmer, rustic and hearty, looks up from his half-mended fence to gaze with mouth agape at this strange-designed creature roaring past his farm. Distant woods are so many flames of color-bright yellow leaves and dull gold leaves, red leaves, scarlet leaves, purple, green, orange and jade. Telephone poles swish by in endless procession. Through a small town we fly. Tattered posters waving from boards once daubed with whitewash proclaim: Barnum and Bailey. nan GREENCASTLE. The lofty towers of the college peek through the trees to lord over the nearby hills. Students crowd about the station to greet us with cheers. By noon the train has settled down to so tranquil and domestic a routine at sixty-eight miles an hour that one has the settled feeling of an ocean voyage. From a corncrib a pretty farm girl pauses in feeding her baby chicks to wave at us, and blushes when Billy Gilbertson, our engineer, toots his whistle back. Sixty-eight, seventy, seventy-two miles an hour; the train increases its speed. Another express approaches—it’s the American Limited, America's crack train. The two powerful engines near each other and the engineers, in a gesture of good fellowship between the rivals of two continents, pull out their whistles in long, shrieking salutes as they pass at lightning-like speed. A black steel sign alongside the Pennsylvania tracks spells out

Plainfield. Swarms of people line up beside the depot to see the European visitor. * a a IN a few minutes we near Ben Davis. Planes take off from the airport to soar overhead. Photographers line the steep bank with cameras poised to catch a prize picture for their collections. All too soon we see Indianapolis looming on the smoke-stained horzon. Several factory whistles blow full blast in greetings. There’s White river and people coming out of low, squat shacks to peer at us. Tracks join us on all sides. As the Royal Scot applies its vacuum brakes, gently artd softly, the train slows down. Union station. Lusty shouts go up from the early throng of people on hand to greet the mechanical ambassador on its friendship tour of America. The Scot comes to a dead stop as gentle as a lassie’s smile. The passengers pile out of the coaches, fresh and rested, after one of the most unique rides in American railroad history. And in true Britsh fashion, on time! Rescued From Cistern “Trap” Wedged in the mouth of a cistern, it was necessary to call the fire department to rescue Everett Morehead from the cistern which he cleaning yesterday at 2244 Central avenue. The fire department’s first-aid squad looped ropes around each of Morehead’s feet to get him out.

in an article In the current Issue of the Journal of Forestry. Three species of trees have been found especially well suited for holding the eroding soil in gullies in the south. They are black locust, loblolly pine and short leaf pine. They have the advantage of producing marketable timber, and since the gullied lands usually are ruined for cultivation purposes, wood production Is the best purpose to which they can be put.
