“Lot’s of people think there is a big 
secret about catching fish, but there 
aint nothing of the kind All you have 
to do is just fish where the fish are and 
use your brains mixed with plenty of 
elbow grease.’’ 
The Shannon Twin Spinner 
will enable you to fish where the fish are and 
will prove that you have used your brains, for 
the Shannon is about the only bait there is 
with which you can always fish where the fish 
are. No matter how thick the rushes or lilies 
are, you can cast right into them without fear 
of fouling. As for attractiveness, the game fish 
don’t live that can resist it. It gets big catches 
where others fail. Try it and see for yourself. 
You’ll have the best fishing you ever had in 
your life.

Dept. S, 736 South California Ave. 
CHICAGO ILLINOIS 
A thin neck of land separated the pond from the Atlantic Ocean 
old landed a small bass as we floated 
along. We crossed the pond and 
anchored near shore. I caught four 
lively little bass in rapid succession. I 
might have guessed they were over size 
and let it go at that. But a New Eng¬ 
land conscience conforming to a ten- 
inch rule forced me to throw them all 
back, although all were well over nine 
inches and one was nine and three-quar¬ 
ters. After a time we rowed back to the 
car, got out the lunch and went down 
to where the waves were breaking on 
the ocean shore to eat it. Meantime the 
wind was freshening. Blowing straight 
in from the ocean, it agitated the waves 
of our little pond. We stopped for some 
fresh bait and drifted with the wind, 
catching small bass at intervals. At the 
far shore we turned and John G. bent 
his sturdy back to the oars. 
Suddenly I felt a fierce tug at my line, 
far different from anything that had 
gone before. I struck hard and fifty 
feet behind the boat a noble bass came 
out of the water with a whoop. He 
wanted line and I let him have it, but 
after a short rush he turned and started 
straight for the boat. I reeled in for 
dear life and managed to keep the line 
tight. Near the boat he came out of the 
water once more and then started an¬ 
other rush. Gradually he tired and I 
worked him within reach of John G.’s 
net and the breathless fight was over. 
Even Harold lost his listless air, but 
no one caught anything really worth 
while, until half an hour later going in 
the same direction and almost in the 
same spot I got hold of another bass only 
a little smaller than the first. This was 
followed by two others well over the 
legal size of ten inches. 
At last it was time to leave. We rowed 
ashore and lifted the boat on the trailer. 
I turned for one last look at the pond. 
“How am I ever going to make any 
of my old fishing friends believe I ever 
caught bass in this place?” I asked 
John G. 
“Bring ’em up,” he suggested, and I 
guess that is the only way it can be 
done. 
Back at the farm we got out the scales. 
The large bass was one pound fourteen 
ounces and the smaller one an even 
pound and a half. I’ve caught bigger 
ones in my time, but never any harder 
fighters. Perhaps it’s the salt air that 
makes them so lively. 
AUTO-TOURING WAYS 
AND MEANS 
(Continued from page 177) 
for one’s own impatience or imper¬ 
tinence. 
C ARELESS road driving, careless 
treatment of native customs or con¬ 
ditions, and especially vandalism, game 
butchery, dust-throwing and trickery in 
buying supplies have resulted in the 
general feeling of hostility against tour¬ 
ists through large regions which have 
no interest in tourists except as local 
people may themselves become tourists, 
and by ranging wide discover that the 
vandals and fools are the exception 
rather than the rule. 
In tight places, where a narrow bridge, 
a one-way rut, a difficult stretch or con¬ 
dition of highway is presented, the best 
plan is to give the other fellow the 
right of way. The brief pause will be 
a rest. The stopping of the car will be 
a relief to the motor, allowing it to 
cool a bit. Above all, the stop will nine 
times out of ten induce a feeling of 
friendliness in the other driver, who 
may be in a genuine hurry. The tourist, 
as a wanderer, should never permit him¬ 
self to be so badly pressed for time that 
he cannot help the other fellow at least 
to the extent of pulling out to let him 
go by in safety. Failure to stop in this 
way will perhaps gain speed a few min¬ 
utes a day, but it may result in a crash 
or a ditching, meaning much greater de¬ 
lay and annoyance. 
There are rules of the highways. 
Membership in a state, local or national 
automobile club enables one, through 
the secretary, to obtain the laws of the 
various states, the rules of the road. No 
two seem to be alike. But in general 
•the car from the right has the right of 
way. Certain streets, however, in cer¬ 
tain towns, have the right of way. 
Northbound traffic may have right of
