For Fall 
Fishing 
When the water is clear and 
the sunlight mellow, noth- 
ing is more tempting to 
game fish than the Hilde- 
hrandt brass Idaho spinner. 
The golden gleam of the 
short, squat blade with its 
wavy motion in the water 
is an autumn lure the big 
ones fall for. In varying 
sizes for bass, pike, trout and 
muskallunge. The Idaho 
blade spins out wide and is 
exceptionally attractive.

The AMERICAN DISPLAY COMPANY, Dayton, Ohio 
I am confident that I missed one bird 
because at the moment of firing, on my 
left, a quail whistled seductively. Un- 
lawful temptation ! But the incident 
symbolizes the charm of hunting in the 
mysterious marsh ! It is the dawn of 
the fall season. The young broods are 
reared. For all birds, plover, quail, 
ducks, and the rest, life is at the fullest. 
And the ancient marsh, unchanged 
through so many years, seems to reflect 
their crescent life. Strange wild plants 
come to maturity and bloom bright red. 
The waters take deeper tints from the 
late summer sun. The whole marsh 
is quickened by an abundance of life. ; 
It has reared its children of the seas j 
and air. ,i

ways of finding men in dark places and 
they fully succeeded. ' 
The alarm clock had been set for 5.30 
A. M. and it sounded promptly on the 
hour, just when the mosquitoes, appar- 
ently sated with our best blood, were 
finally at rest. But bass were in the sea 
and our mission was to get them and we 
promptly arose. 
At that juncture when my friend was 
applying a soothing lotion to the blotches 
on that part of his anatomy that once 
grew hair, I made a discovery, and in a 
rather abstracted manner broke the 
news. “Joe,” I said, “I don’t believe 
there is a mosquito in New Jersey that j 
can’t get through a six-inch hole.” The j 
only reply I got was something that | 
sounded like “damphool talk” and he j 
continued rubbing his head. 
I turned him around and pointing to | 
the roof said never a word more. Then 1 
he wilted. Also came the revelation. ; 
On our arrival the afternoon before, i 
while I was busy packing our bait, he ■ 
and his assistant had moved the stove- ■ 
pipe from the heating to the cooking- j 
stove and forgot to put the cover over ' 
the opening. When the lamps were 
lighted the mosquitoes dropped through 
like swallows going down a chimney. 
“Don’t tell anybody about that,” was 
his rather humble request. And I said 
I wouldn’t. 
As on the day before, bass were in the 
surf and they took crab freely as well . 
as the balance of the worms left from 
the previous afternoon’s fishing. In all ■ 
we took nineteen fish, in weight from 
six to ten pounds each, the majority 
being from seven to nine pounds and all 
were as full of fight as hornets. 
One remarkable experience we had 
while cleaning our fish : The stomachs 
of two of them were literally packed to 
their limit with the spawn of other fish. 
While the propensity of this fish to fol- 
low in the wake of other fish and feed 
on this delicacy is well known, still it 
was the first time the writer had so vivid 
a demonstration. 
How it would have rejoiced the heart 
of our mutual friend John T. Nichols, 
of the American Museum of Natural 
History, to have had a jar of this ma- ■
