In stitching the work drops over the

wheel. A plain cretonne curtain,
tackled Just under the shelf or table
OF the machine, helps wonderfully with
this trouble. Tacks must not be left
out to catch on the work.

ABUSE AND NEGLECT ON THE
PART OF OWNERS OF BEDS
Prediction and Will Be Mostly
Under Size Oystermen to Blame

Will Not Be Plentiful This Year is the
Prediction and Will Be Mostly
Under Size Oystermen to Blame
The oyster season in Maryland
opened Thursday morning for tongers.
and whereas in former years this
date has been preceded by careful
overhaulng of sails and rigging by
the Eastern Shoreman now instead
dinkey little gasoline motor is
simply oiled up and the tonger is
ready for business. For some years
past the oyster pungy has been slow
ly pushed aside for power boats and
this year there will be fewer of the
graceful pungies and schooners in the
trade than ever. There is little
chance that the oyster season will
be a successful one. Usually des-
pite what the season might develop
there are always predictions of rosy
outlooks for the oyster crops of the
different sections on the bay. This
year, however, the news that comes
from the bay, rivers and, in fact from
all over the bay, is disquieting. 1t
is said that the oysters are by no
means plentiful and are small in
size. Those that have reached
sufficient size are covered with mus
sells. which greatly detract from their
sales price, if not from their quality.
The reason for the poor outlook is
said to be a lack of care on the
part of oystermen themselves, who
have emulated the man who killed
the goose that laid the golden egg.
The Chesapeake bay oyster beds have
been for years more valuable than
any gold mine of the world, but
