THE INVISIBLE LEADER. 
Editor Fish and Fishing: 
I have recently seen the advertisements in 
several of the sporting magazines of what I 
think must be a new leader. It is called the 
Telerana Nova. Can you give me any informa¬ 
tion about it? I seem to have considerable 
trouble with my leaders so consequently am 
ready to try anything that may be an improve¬ 
ment. Thanking you in advance, I am, very 
truly, J. G. J., Madison, Wis. 
First let me say, go buy a Telerana Nova 
leader—you will be troubled no more. Rather 
strong, I admit, but this is one leader I am en¬ 
thusiastic over, and so will you be when you 
have used them. This leader is the production 
of one William Robertson, of Glasgow, Scot¬ 
land, and is sold by Mr. Joe Welsh, of Pasadena, 
California. 
Many knots in a leader mean so many weak 
spots. The Nova leaders are made without any 
knots whatsoever, being all in one piece. They 
are made in three lengths, 3, 6 and 9 feet, and "n 
six different grades, from the extra heavy with 
a tested strain of 30 pounds to the light leader 
known as No. 6 at a test of two and one-half 
pounds. A particular feature of this leader is 
that when dry it can be pulled straight and it 
will stay that way ready for fishing. Another 
worthy feature of this leader is that it casts no 
reflected lights and blends nicely with the water. 
PERCH AND SMELT FOR STOCKING. 
Editor Fish and Fishing: 
Will you please tell me through the columns 
of your department where I can get perch and 
also land locked smelts to stock a pond? 
S. K. G., Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 
In order that this inquiry should meet with 
expert opinion this request was sent to W. M. 
Keil, Consulting Fishculturist and Superintend¬ 
ent of the Tuxedo Fisheries, at Tuxedo Park, 
N. Y. Below is his reply: 
In the first place, I can not imagine why any 
person would desire these two species for use 
together, for smelt are only suitable for stocking 
cold, deep lakes where food for trout or salmon 
is desired. And if this person has such waters, 
he is indeed very foolish to place any species 
similar to perch, bass or pickerel in those waters. 
If the waters he wishes to stock are only favor¬ 
able for introducing such varieties as perch, then 
smelt will not thrive there, and it would be a 
waste of time and money to plant them. 
If your correspondent lives in New York State 
and wishes to plant smelt in public waters, he 
can obtain same from the Conservation Com¬ 
mission; if for private waters, they can only be 
had by application to the Bureau of Fisheries, 
Washington. Either yellow or white perch are 
obtainable from the Bureau of Fisheries for 
private planting, or many of the different state 
commissions will send these for use only in 
public waters. Neither smelt or white perch are 
handled by any of the commercial hatcheries, 
but yellow perch may be purchased from Henry 
W. Beaman, New Preston, Conn., in small 
quantities. 
Hoping that this may enlighten your corre¬ 
spondent on what he desires to know, I am, 
W. M. Keil. 
STRAY CASTS FOR THE ANGLER. 
Do not run races with the fisherman ahead 
of you on a stream or try to beat him to the 
best pools. If you are passed by an angler from 
behind let him go ahead as fast as he can, be¬ 
cause the faster he goes the less fish he will catch.

Buy Goodyear Cords 
BecauseThey re Better 
There is just one sensible reason for paying the 
higher price for a Goodyear Cord Tire. 
You can count on this tire to give you superior 
service—greater comfort, surer security, longer 
wear. 
The explanation of such service is the con¬ 
struction of the tire itself—its extreme flexi¬ 
bility, its high quality, its supple strength. 
The guarantee of such service is the Goodyear 
policy of full value to the buyer in every 
instance. 
Proof of both, if further proof were needed, is 
to be found in the everyday performance of 
Goodyear Cord Tires, and in the steadily 
growing demand for them in all parts of 
America.
