Pyramid Solvent did it [ 
all with very little human 
effort. 
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 con- 
venient fiat can that fits the pocket 
or shooting kit, 30c per can. If 
your dealer can’t supply you, send 
30c and we will send you a can 
postpaid.

there v/as pent up within it so much vim, 
vigor, valor and vitality, and bo much re- 
Bcurceful power and nervous energy. It 
was my first view of a black bass. His 
capture was a revelation. My curiosity 
was appeased but not satisfied. More was 
to follow. It was but the spur, the in- 
citement, the incentive to future endeavor 
and performance. 
So far I had only an impersonal con- 
ception cf the finesse and strategy of a 
fish that seemed to possess unlimited 
power, resistance, fortitude and endur- 
ance. I was yet to experience a personal 
encounter in which my skill, with the 
help of rod and reel, would be tested and 
exerted against his innate and indomit- 
able bravery, courage and adroitness. t

Shooting 
(Continued from Page 651) 
along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coasts 
and in sections of the interior. 
The red-head usually arrives from the 
South iu March and many of them for- 
merly bred within the boundaries of our 
Northern tier of States. But the shooting 
in the spring resulted in practically all of 
our ducks going far into Canada to nest. 
Spring shooting has now been abolished 
and with that wasteful and unsportsman- 
like practice at au end the red-heads, 
along with many other species of ducks, 
will no doubt breed again within our bor- 
ders in better numbers. 
The red-heads start south wiih the 
freezing over of the northern waters, but 
they usually arrive in our middle states 
later than some of the other species. 
The shooting of red-heads is similar to 
that of canvas-backs. They are hunted in 
the same manner, come to the same de- 
coys and present about the same marks. 
O NE fall, late in the huntjng season, 
a report came into town that there 
was a flight of red-heads on in the 
upper bay. The duck shooting had been 
good that fall, but the red-heads had been 
a scarce variety, in fact they had been so 
during the last few years. Now the birds 
were reported plentiful on the river and 
in the locality where the river emptied 
Into the hay. 
A “dry” north-easter had beat and 
howled along the shore for two days as if 
furious because it could not let down a 
deluge of rain with the gale of the wind. 
Then the storm partly subsided, followed 
by a cold snap of real winter weather. 
This storm was reported to be the cause 
of the sudden flight of red-heads. 
Hardly had we received news of the 
red-heads than my friends and I were pre- 
paring for the trip. .4.bout two o’clock 
In the morning we packed guns, shells, 
sandwiches and thermos bottles filled 
with hot coffee into the automobile, and 
climbing in, were off in the black behind 
the glare of the head lights. It was very 
cold and a keen wind was blowing. The
