CAN'T CARRY RABBITS
ACROSS TOWN STREET

DELMAR, Del, Dec. 6-Rabbits are
quite a lxury to those who live on the
Maryland side of this town. on the
state border line. The markets be-
ing on the Delaware side. all rabbits
and other game are sold there. Mary
landers are puzzled how to get them
home.
There is a so fine for each rabbit or
game bird taken out Of the State of
Delaware. Unless the residents, who
virtually all live in Maryland. take the
chance of smuggling their game over
the line, they do without.
IL would be impossible for the war
dens to examine every package taken
across state street, so there is quite a
lot Of smuggling in the town.
