There are thirteen prints and they were unearthed by work- men. They stretch twenty six feet across the quarry floor be- fore disappearing • under a mass of rock and experts believe they form the largest sequence of pre- historic animal footprints ever discovered in Britain, The huge creature that made them colfld have measured forty feet from nose to tail and stood up to twenty feet in height, The footprints are only fifteen inches apart and clearly show the walk and gait of the creature. Says on expert: "It looks as though when they were made he was just waddling along.' Fossil remains of mammoth creatures which existed many millions of years ago are occa- sionally uncovered in Britain, usually in quarries. But the find- ing of such remains is becoming rarer because of the increasing use today of mechanical excava- tors. But less than four years ago an ichthyosaurus, a marine rep- tile which 130,000,000 years ago filled the place in the seas now occupied by whales and por- poises, was uncovered in Nor- folk. A special day and night guard had to be mounted over a Warwickshire quarry in which a 100,000,000 -year-old, three - eyed monster's remains were found in 1928, It was a plesiosaurus. Thrilled by news of the find, amateur geologists crowded to the spot and some of the earlier arrivals succeeded in reaching the fossil and tried to get "souvenirs." The fossil had to be fenced off while arrangements were made 1 for transporting it to a museum. .Another strange creature which l was found in Oxfordshire must have been about sixty feet high i in its prime at least 200 million years ago. It was so heavy that It had to remain half submerged In water to support its weight. In a garden at Gedling, Notts., which was formerly part of Sher- wood Forest, men found in 1923 the . huge bones, of a prehistoric inarnmoth. They were in an ex- cellent state of preservation. The road runner, a Cuckoo :famous for its ability to kill rat- tlesnakes, is also known as a "snake -eater."

Large numbers of the peo- ple cannot read so parties rely upon simple symbols rather than names in their vote - getting campaigns. Trout Fishing Made (?) Simple There are two ways of fishing for trout—and this holds whether you're using fly or spinning tackle. One is the fine -and -far- off method. The ether is—stalk 'em carefully and fish close, the sneak -up -on -'em method. The fine -and -far-off way orig- inated on the chalk streams of southern England, especially the famous Test and Itchen. These are practically never muddied by rain, which soaks into the chalk soil and comes up again filtered crystal clear, In that flat country, the cur- rent is slight; it often resembles a long, mirror -still pool. There's really too much natural foods, so the fat brown trout are always overfed and can afford to be shy and finicky. Result of all this: Perhaps nowhere else does trout fishing call for such high skill. An American angler, fishing there for the first time, usually snorts in derision at the ritualis- tic fuss and feathers, the long, fine leaders—sometimes as much as 18 feet long. That's not how they fish back home where the American came from! He'll show 'em about such nonsense. He sees trout dimpling the whole surface of the river, feed- ing hard. He walks up and makes one cast, what he thinks is a very nice one. Suddenly, the whole' surface of the river becomes un- broken, not a single trout feed- ing. Nor will one for a long time. Spots where this fine -and -far- off method is necessary are ex- tremely rare in this country. But always remember that the higher you are above the water's sur- face, the farther fish can see you. Now for the sneak -up -on -'em method, which calls for practical- ly no casting ability, and which will get you most trout in a very MOTTLE --NECK - The cyclist has to fling rings around the necks of a row of bottles without•stopping. This event it part of :the Winter Cup 'Tournament of Hungarian Cyclists in Budapest, designed to eXhibit the cyclist's riding skill. great majority of places in this couatry; Supposing that there's a fine looking spot' that you can only reach,' without a fish there seeing you, from behind a boulder or small bush—but that the trout would see you crossing a wide gravel bar going there, Get up there quietly and slowly; fast movements always alarm fish. Then crouch out of sight until you think the trent has forgotten about your coming and has start- ed feeding again. You'll have' to do your awn guessing on how long that is; might be a few min- utes if he's small and not shy, and it might be an hour or more If he's really old and foxy and not too hungry. Very small, bushy streams often have a surprising number of very large trout for the simple reason it's difficult to fish such places successfully. Spinning won't do, for there's no room to work the lure without its hang- ing on the brush. So, how would you go about catching some of them? By "dapping," a method pretty common in Ireland but rarely heard of elsewhere will work. It's done merely by dropping a dry fly straight down from the rod tip so that it, but practically none of the leader, touches the water. Larger live flies on tiny hooks. work, Here's an improvement on the Irish way that I worked out. Have you ever seen a fly bobbing 'up and down a few inches above the water, occasionally dropping lower to touch it? It is said that it's a female laying an egg at each touch. Try using the same movement with your dry fly — not overdoing it. I found that this sometimes murders 'em in a small, bushy stream when just floating the fly produce little or no results. The movement must draw more at- tention to the fly, as well as making it seem more lifelike. Naturally, to do well with dap- ping on a shall, bushy stream, you must do extremely careful stalking, and keep out of sight. As stated before, the higher you are above the water, the far- ther a fish can see you, and, of course, the reverse is also true. So When yea can't hide, keep as low es possible, both during your approach and while casting. by Jason Lucas, Angling Editor of "Sports Afield" German Women Beaten As Witches Innocent women in some vil- lages of West Germany are being beaten up and insulted by ig- norant villagers who believe they are witches. Witchcraft is growing so rap- idly in these country areas that 10,000 so - called witchmasters have set themselves up in busi- ness there in recent years, says a report of the German Medical Association. Silly men and women who are not satisfied with the treatment they receive from their doctors visit these witchmasters who have persuaded them that all their ailments are caused by witches. The witchmasters even name village women as witches. These women are usually 'too poor to take legal action against them. A witchmaster often charges a fee of $25 or more to perform a ceremony and provide a "cure." According to an ancient Ger- man legend all the country's witches hold carnival on April 30th the eve of May Day. This is known as Walpurgis Night, No superstitious villager leaves the shelterof:'his.home on this night without carrying a sprig of holly or mountain ash as a "safeguard against witchcraft" Even by their own hearths some people are not sure of safe- ty, for witches are reputed to hover on the threshold of many homes, trying to influence them with their "evil eye." In some areas • villagers flock from their homes to make noises which will drive away Wa1pur- gis Night witches', Church bells are rung, pots and pans are clattered together, dogs bark and children scream, How Can I?
