No pitting. No 
metal fouling. 
Just a clean 
sweep of pol-

Pyramid Solvent 
did it all with very 
little human effort. 
PYRAMID 
SOLVENT —r, 
easily dissolves smokeless 
and black powder residue. It gets under 
and loosens metal fouling. That’s why it 
cleans all firearms so easily. 
The action is purely chemical— but there’s 
nothing to attack the gun metal— not even 
moisture. Pyramid can be left in firearms 
for a long time without danger from rust. 
Pyramid Solvent is for sale 
by most firearm dealers, 
3 ounces in a convenient 
flat can that fits the pock- 
et or shooting kit, 30c 
per can. If your dealer 
can’t supply you, send 
30c and we will send you 
a can postpaid.

The mother hawk was soon joined by 
her mate and together they continued to 
circle and scream, occasionally making a 
fierce, downward swoop in my direction 
and passing but a few feet above me. 
Their large size, broad, blunt wings and 
widely spread tails convinced me that 
they were Red-tails, and once or twice 
by watching their quick upward flights 
from me, I caught a glimpse of the rusty- 
red color of the tail brightly flashing in 
the sunlight. 
I continued my examination of the nest 
and wrote a detailed description in my 
field book. It was of a miscellaneous as- 
sortment of dead sticks and twigs built 
very firmly into the forks of the limbs. 
Upon a layer of fresh, green locust 
leaves, rested three dirty white eggs, 
slightly larger than hens’ eggs and promi- 
scuously spotted about the large end with 
dark brown. Unfortunately before I had 
taken any pictures, one egg was broken 
when my foot slipped and in grasping 
another branch for safety, I tipped the 
kodak into the nest from its resting place 
on the edge. Investigating further, I 
found that there were several layers of 
green leaves in the bottom of the nest. 
Those on the bottom were quite dry, 
though yet green, showing that they had 
been severed from the tree but a few 
days. Judging from the contents of the 
broken egg, the bird had been sitting only 
three or four days and it struck me as 
possible that the mother hawk might 
have brought a fresh nest lining of green 
leaves each day since beginning the in- 
cubation. If other bird observers have 
noticed a similiar instance I would like to 
hear from them. 
After nearly an hour in the tree I re- 
turned to the ground weary but satisfied, 
and we left the bird-home gently swaying 
in the cool morning breeze. When we 
reached the road nearly a quarter of a 
mile distant, the anxious call of the 
mother hawk could still be heard.

TARPON FISHING AT 
PORT ARANSAS 
(CONTINUED from page 55) 
Jetty, anchored the motor boat, and 
tackled the sport again. That afternoon 
I made a better record, getting five tar- 
pon strikes and landing three big ones 
— all over 6 feet long. Besides, I hung 
two jackfish, securing both. In all I fished 
only five hours, and landed five tarpon 
and five jackfish, out of eleven tarpon 
strikes and nine hung jackfish. This rec- 
ord made me “high-line” for the year, no 
one having landed previously more than 
two tarpon in a day. No score is kept of 
the jackfish, or, for that matter, of any 
other fish than the tarpon ; but there is 
a special black-board for the light-tackle 
fishermen’s record. 
Two of the other boats scored that 
day, the lady before mentioned landing 
two and her companion one. 
There were six or eight boats anchored 
most of the day near the ends of the 
jetties, their occupants fishing for jew- 
fish. Half a dozen were caught, includ- 
ing two or three large ones, none, how- 
ever, weighing as much as 300 lbs.
