HUNTING SEASON IN
MARYLAND SHORTER
New Law Forbids Shooting
Partridge, Rabbit, and Squir-
rel Before November 10.

HYATTSVILLE, Md. Sept. 27.-The
hunting season for partridge. rabbit,
squirrel and other similar game does
not open this gear in Maryland until
November 10 and closes December "a. In
speaking of the game question and laws.
State Game Warden James P. Curley,
Of Laurel, said the lack of progression
in game and fish legislation in Mary
land is to be regretted. Compared with
what other States are doing, we are
decidedly behind the times.
The last session Of the legislature
had bills presented to It which could
have made game and fish protection and
propagation a certainty, had they been
enacted into laws, but politics and IN
terests were too strong and most OF the
proposed legislation was never even
seriously considered.
We, however, did succeed in getting
a uniform season bill through. which
provides a season from November 10 to
December "a. both dates included. for
the following game: Partridge or quail
English or Mongolian pheasant, dark
neck Bohemian pheasant, pheasant or
ruffed grouse, rabbit, squirrel, wild
turkey, woodcock and deer. Under this
law 1t Is unlawful to gun or hunt on
Sunday, or when there Is sufficient
snow to track game, and also between
sunset and sunrise.

waterfowl and migratory game birds,

SENATE HAS BUSY
PROGRAM FOR WEEK

Two important legislative matters

Consideration of the conference re-

Monday. At the same time the Finance
Committee will take up the war tax
bin end will report It soon enough to
allow tine Senate to begin its considera-
ton when the conference report on the
Clayton bill IS out Of the way
The debate on the Clayton bill con-
ference report is likely to be heated
and prolonged. Senators Reed, Borah
and others will charge that the meas
ure has been enl9sculated and its teeth
drawn. and that the passage Of the bill
will put the Demo cratic party in the
light of having made peace with the
trusts and combinations Moreover,
Senator Reed is expected to demand q
lobby investigation on charges that
there. has been pernicious lobbying By
sIecial interests In an effort to get
the Clayton bill toned down and made
milder for the big corporations.
The war tax measure. which was bonn
barded heavily in the House by Repub-
licans, will be subjected to still more
severe assault in the Senate. Attempts
will be. made to amend II. The Finance
Committee will probably substitute an
automobile tax for tax on gasolene.

but in the story of mankind's long
struggle for liberty
1T was a magnificent night" said
John Redmond. I'VE did not meet spe-

ASKS ALL RELIEF GO
THROUGH RED CROSS
Miss Boardman Declares Or
ganization Is Best Fitted to
Conduct Work.

That the American Red Cross is the
best agency for the American people to
utilize in the relief of war-stricken
Europe. and that it is unfortunate that
so many temporary committees have
sprung into existence for war relief
purposes are views expressed by Miss
Mabel Boardman, chairman Of the Red
Cross national relief board. in a state
ment today.
The Red Cross was created as per-
manent organization. Mss Boardman
said, because of the inefficiency, the
wastefulness, the lack of experience and
the lack of responsibility of temporary
committees The Red Cross Is excep-
tionally fitted for war relief work, II is
declared through its relationship with
the State. War, and Navy departments
because its funds are audited by the
War Department. and because it makes
an annual report to Congress and puo-
fishes its receipts and expenditures as
matters of public records.
Lists Conflicting Appeals.
Miss Boardman gives a list of twen-
ty-one war relief appeals issued in the
United States. The Red Cross. she says.
has no objection to appeals on oenair
of the countries involved where such
appeals are made only to their country
men now resident in the United states.
But the multiplicity Of appeals for aid
has led to constant and confused de-
mands upon the public.
1T would appear logical" the state
ment says, that all funds contributed
by Americans should pass through the
medium of the National Red Cross. In
no other way can a record Of the total
contributions be obtained and preserved.
This Is due. in justice to the American
people; but there Is a far more i'm
portant reason why the Red Cross
should be the agency utilized. Temper
ary committees are organized chiefly
for the collection of funds. and inquiries
as to plans and methods for the admin
istration of such funds rarely receive
8 definite or satisfactory reply.
Best Fitted for Work.
The Red Cross. with its international
relief board. of which the counselor Of
the State Department Is chairman; with
its war relief board. of which the sur
geons general Of the army and navy
are chairman and vice chairman: with
its various specially trained depart
ments and personnel; with its knowl-
edge and experience must naturally be
better fitted to undertake relief than
any other agency In the country.
