DUCKINC SEASON
OPENS WEDNESDAY,
SuSquehanna Flats to be
Mecca for GunnerS After
That Day

ELKTON, Nd, Oct. 31-The duck
ing season on the Susquehanna Flats,
the world-renowned ducking grounds
located at the mouth of the Susque-
hanna river, will open Wednesday
next, the first legal shooting day of
the season. For the past 10 days or
two weeks there has not been an idle
man among those interested in duck
shooting along the head of the Chesa-
peake Bay. Boats, decoys, sink boxes
and all other paraphernalia which,
during the closed season, were slowed
away, have been gotten out and put
in first-class condition.
Each year these ducking grounds,
located off the shores of Hartford and
Cecil counties, are the mecca for hun
dreds of spOrtsmen from all parts OF
the country. Among the first visitors
may always be counted several of the
New York millionaires. The wild duck
home is in the northern waters-the
bays and CULTS of British America.
When the freezing in their northern
homes causes the birds to migrate
sOuthward, of course, many miss the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries,
and frequent the inlets and sounds
further down the Atlantic coast, but
still the numbers which congregate
at the extreme headwaters of the
Chesapeake, familiarly known as the
Susquehanna Flats, can at all times be
counted by the hundreds of thous-
ands.
The shooting days allowed by law
are each Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day from November l to March 81.
and from January 1 Saturday is also
allowed The ducking licenses are
issued only to residents of Hartford
and Cecil counties by the clerks of
the Circuit Courts of the two coun-
ties. However, non-residents are al
lowed to shoot from boats having been
granted licenses. The costs is as fol-
lows Sinkbox licenses, SPOTS; sneak
boat license, $5.75.
Reports as to the number of ducks
on the flats at the present time diff
fer. Some claim that ducks are al
ready very numerous, while others
claim that they are quite scarce.

CHILD LABOR
In DELAWARE
Investigators Find What They
Regard As DeplOrabie
Condition Here

Edward f. Brown and Lewis W.
Hine, of New York, Investigators for
the National Child Labor Committee,
who acted in conjunction with the
Social Service Committee of the Epis-
copaI Diocese of Delaware, have pre-
pared a report in which It is declared
that child labor conditions in lower
Delaware are deplorable.
The investigation was made in the
berry fields and canneries of the
lower part of the State. According
TO the printed report children, rang
ing from three to five years, we're
found found working nine hours
day and longer, and that not few
five years and older worked regularly
twelve and thirteen hours day.
The report sets forth that hun
dreds of children leave school in Phil
adelphia, in defiance of the COM
pulsory education law, to work in
the berry fields of Delaware and New
Jersey.
The parents are charged with being
the exploiters of the children. The
work of a family group of five per-
sons would yield from So to $12 a
day in the berry fields, the report al
leges.
One cannery was inspected where
children three and four years old
were found hulling berries steadily,
and one child two years old was sit
ting in his baby cart hulling.
The Rev. Hubert W. Wells, rector
Of st. Andrews Episcopal Church, OF
this city, who is chairman of the So
cial Service Committee, distributed
copies Of the report at the recent
Episcopal General Convention, and he
is quoted as saying:
I'VE feel that the conditions of child
labor in the whole of Southern Della
ware are unworthy of Christian
civilization and that we are in duty
bound to endeavor TO change them.
