A FOWL PLAY I | | | "Wish it was summer and I eould go fishing," sald Ralph. "Just because ft is winter is no sign you can't go fishing," said Mrs. Stan- ford. "Who ever heard of going fishing In winter?" laughed Ralph. "Lots of pedple. Up in Eskimo-land that is the favorite sport." "I think I've heard of ice fishing." "Perhaps you have. Up in the ice country in the early spring many varieties of fish come to the shore from the deep water where they have wintered. At this time the Eskimo boys cut holes in the ice and spend many hours sitting beside them with their hooks and lines." "What kind of poles do they use? "It's a short pole to which is at- tached a line made of whalebone or perhaps the quills of a large water fowl. This makes a strong, flexible Near the bottom of the line is a stori# anchor and below this are the hooks. The hooks are set In ivory shanks. The shining shanks serve as lures. . The line is kept in motion #all the time, and the fish are attracted by the moving ivory, They come closer to examine the flashing, shining thing, and then they are caught on the big hooks. "And then," concluded Mrs. Stan- ford, "the Eskimo family has fresh fish for dinner." ---- BLOCKING THE SIDEWALK A group of girls, arm In arm, went walking along, forcing every one to step off the walk. Another group stood on the sidewalk, blocking traf- fic. "These f{li-bred young people," said an older woman. Maybe they were only thoughtless, or perhaps they didn't realize they were breaking one of the rules of "good manners."
