Governor Tener has signed the
Senate bill repeating the section of
the act of May 1, 1909, providing for
the catching of fish in fish baskets
and issuance of licenses. Under the
act the use of fish baskets was per-
mitted if licenses we're granted by
the county treasurer of the county.
The repeating of the act makes it
| illegal to use fish baskets to catch
eels, suckers or any kind of fish.
River street is a very pleasant
place on which to live. Located on
the side hill are some of the most
picturesque spots in Greater Homes
| dale. Among these homes is that
Brandamore. Foliage is tastily
planted in the yard and large shade
trees prevent the hot rays of the af-
ternoon sun from shining upon the
comfortable front porches. 1t is
truly pleasant place.

When Miss Rosa B. Smolik
wanted to drum up a little business
for her "gymnastic device" she put
an advertisement in the Washington
city directory, along with her latest
photograph. The ink blurred and
she sued the publishers for $50, 900.
Miss Smolik alleges that the picture
is so dark that it is impossible to
determine what race she belong"
The petition was filed in the District
of Columbia Supreme Court by Miss
Smolik personally. Her first suit,
the plaintiffs petition says, was
abandoned without her consent and
instead of $35, 900 which she pre-
viously asked she now believes her
damages amount to $4,000.
