KINKS OF ALL KINDS 



The arm of the bracket B will be 

 shortened and riveted in the brass 

 disk in such a manner that the 

 disk will revolve easily. After 

 riveting the bracket , solder the 

 disk in the end of the tube. The 

 disk for the other end of the tube 

 can be made to fit snugly and is 

 used for a stopper. 



The wires C and D should be 

 of such a length as will allow 

 them to be put inside of the tube. 



The self-contained dryer will 

 take longer to make than the other 

 one will, but it is well worth the 

 trouble of the discriminating an^- 

 gler who wants the best of every- 

 thing going. Its cost should not 

 be over twenty-five cents at the 

 most. 



A CAMERA KINK 



BY E. B. HARDING 

 Some cameras are made so that 

 they can be snapped by pulling a 

 thread fastened to the shutter 

 lever, allowing all members of the 

 party to get in the picture and 

 then some cameras are not in- 

 tended to be used that way at all. 

 Most cameras that can be oper- 

 ated with a string are too ex- 

 pensive to be risked on those very 

 outings that afford the best 

 chances for the pictures we want 

 most. In an effort to explain how 

 the ordinary little old box kodak 

 can be manipulated with a string, 

 I submit the following Kink: 



Drill a hole through the shutter 

 lever. Tie your fish line through 

 the hole. Tie, or better still, strap 



your kodak to a tree, log, stone or 

 something equally solid and at the 

 same time focus for your picture. 

 Now run the string up, over and 

 across the top of the kodak, bring- 

 ing it rectangularly around the 

 crank that turns the film, the lever 

 that unlocks the box for opening, 

 the handle, or a tree any old 

 thing that comes in position. 

 Now, be careful to have the shut- 

 ter lever pointing down. 



Better practice this without a 

 film in the box. Raise it until it 

 is about to operate the shutter; 

 carefully stretch the line to the 

 spot selected for the picture and, 

 when you're ready, "strike your 

 fish." When the film is developed, 

 the fish may be admired. 



I have taken lots of pictures in 

 the above, manner without the hole 

 in the shutter lever. In that case 

 I fasten a fish hook under the 

 lever. However, the hook is hard 

 to keep in place. Try it some time 

 when you all wish to be in on the 

 picture. 



A COLLAPSIBLE LANDING 

 NET 



BY C. H. BALDWIN 



I had a good collapsible land- 

 ing net a year ago, but it turned 

 up missing, and I must have laid 

 it down just outside my boat after 

 the excitement of landing a big 

 one. So I decided to make one 

 and save the cost for "bait." 



Cut about 18 inches, or any 

 length desired, for handle from a 

 good broom handle. Take a piece
