The balmy spring breezes, which

cf a disease which threatens seven

springtime as it percolates through

The disease is called "Fish-In-the-blood,"
and It attacks mankind each

For a week or so, the columns of
the papers have contained intima
tions that "the herring will be run

and boss promptly follows the

Many On River.
The fishing drops of the upper
Potomac, above the Aqueduct Bridge,
are too well known to the fishing
fraternity of the citv to detail here,
but early enthusiasts are already
anchoring out in the stream to try
their luck, as with blissful content
they bait up the hand lines ith
ponderous Judgment, cast overboard,
and with beloved pipe In the corner
of contented mouth, await the thrill
of a tentative nibble the first of the
jear.
Within a few days the river will
be caressed by the dainty prows of
a hundred canoes, with their brawny
paddlers and fair, parasol-shaded
freight, leaning luxuriantly back
upon the cushioned thwart, with a
slender hand trailing daintily in the
water alongside.
They will thread their way In and
out of the scores of anchored fish
ing boats with their quiet craws,
and dart In to take the wash of an
important little launch or cruiser,
put-putUng its way up toward the
Little Falls, and the wooded shores
of the Virginia side will enfold merry
groups of care-free maids and youths
as they laughingly brush the lnvesti
Kating ants and other fauna from
the be-spread luncheon cloths and
drink in the fragrant breath of the
cpringtime from the open courses of
Jhe river.
Sunday the Great Day.
Sundav is the great day. With the
aquatic element of the population,
breakfast Is the only meal of the
day at home, and as soon as that
Is over baskets are packed. pillows
and thermos botUes gathered up,
possibly a talking machine intrust-
- i-
ed to some member of the party,
and the general impedimenta col
lected for a day on the river.
Many of the canoeists will arrive
at the boathouses about the same
time, and the hurly-burly of tretting
out the frail shells and loading them
makes a kaleidoscopic picture as the
activities on the floats are observed.
The river ltself.on a sunny Sunday,
presents as lovely a picture as may
be desired. The green, white, brown,
and gray canoes seem to move al
most without effort, and the gay
colors' of feminine finery and gleam
ing parasols vie In splendor with the
flash of reflected sunlight, as the
dripping paddles shake their cas
cades of tinkling drops, and the rip
ples from the bows spread undu
lating to the shore.
Accomplished.
The first mass meeting of the Big
r!rther and Sister Movement will be
held tonight at the Cairo to discuss the
work which has been accomplished. Mrs.
V. P. Wilcox will preside, and Mrs. F.
T. DuBols will address the meeting. Mrs.
WJlIard D. Blgelow will tell of the work
accomplished by the Big Sister Move
ment during the closing of the restrict
ed district. After the meeting officers
will be elected.
This organization was operated for a
year as a committee under the District
Congress of Mothers but, owing to the
growth of the work, it was decided at
the last board meeting that the commit
tee should be formed Into a separate so
ciety of all those Interested and affiliate
with the District Congress of Mothers
and the District Federation of Women's
Clubs.
One of their plans is to study tho
work of the New York Big Brother and
Sister Movement There, they work
Hpnaratelv under different leaderships.

Coulter Is in charge of the Big Brother
Movement, while the work of the Big

Their efforts are spent especially In
investigating the Juvenile Court cases. In
the last year, of the 3,469 cases of boys
and the cases of several hundred girls
which have passed through the Juvenile
Court in New xork, oniy sixty-seven
ever returned. In Washington, the num
ber cf cases in the Juvenile Court is in
creasing so the need of such work is
strongly felt here.
