KINKS OF ALL KINDS

zinc box then fitted snugly into 

 the case with two rivets to hold 

 it on each side. The form or 

 block was then planed a little on 

 the sides and ends and the tray 

 made over it. In the tray I 



lapped the corners and turned 

 back the edges so as to make it 

 stronger and leave no sharp 

 edges. 



Then came the partitions. In 

 the tray the compartments were 

 made to fit the baits I had. It 

 holds eleven baits, each in its own 

 place and every one in sight. The 

 lower part has wider compart- 

 ments and holds extra baits, lead- 

 ers, snelled hooks, a pair of pliers, 

 small file, spoons, bucktails, extra 

 hooks and spinners for the baits, 

 etc. 



As every thing fits tight there is 

 no rattling and nothing loose. A 

 set of brass corners cost 40c more, 

 and with a couple of coats of spar 

 varnish I have the handiest com- 

 bination tackle and bait box for 



less than $1.00 and all the fun of 

 planning and making it. 



The zinc is light in weight and 

 will not rust. Solder runs very 

 easily and smoothly on it. All 

 rough or sharp etfges can be taken 

 off with a file. The brass corners 

 are riveted to the zinc on the bot- 

 tom of the case and on the cover 

 they are just nailed with small 

 brass brads and clinched on the 

 inside. 



As the case itself was only 54-in. 

 wood the zinc lining has made the 

 whole thing exceptionally strong, 

 and it can stand some hard 

 knocks. Of course, you can't put 

 it in your pocket, but it takes up 

 very little room. 



CARTRIDGE BELTS 



BY A. W. STEVENS 

 Do you prefer to carry your 

 cartridges in a belt, but refrain 

 from doing so because they slip 



out and are lost? A strip of 

 rather thick leather sewed on the 

 belt a short distance above the 

 loops will help hold the cartridges
