poplar trees Connected with the
homes are small canals which lead to
the creek that flows through the is
land. These canals answer the pur>
pose of roads, and most of the goods
coming to the people from the main
land are ferried up the tiny water
ways in small boats. For this rea-
son the citizens take pride in calling
Tangier the "Venice Of America"
Although there is little tillable land
nothing but small truck patches for
family use-sman flower gardens are
attached to each home, with but few
exceptions, and these lend their charm
to the picturesque landscape in the
summer season. There are about 4OO
houses, all built of wood and costing
from $500 to $500 each. They are
pretty in design and are Kept as
bright as paint can make them.
One writer in a recent article stated
that the homes were all built Of logs,
that the men wore nothing but blue
Jeans and brogans, and the women
dressed in calico and went in their
bare feet. This assertion was far from
the truth. There is not one log house
on Tangier. AS for dress, the tailor
ing firms in Baltimore are said to do
an annual business of $4,000 with the
people of the island, in addition to the
rcady-made clothing that is bought at
CrisfieId. There also are seven stores
in Cangier, three in particular carrying
large stocks of merchandise, and two
milIiners cater to the feminine por-
ton of the population with the latest
styles in women's fnery.
The town of Tangier is incorporated
and is governed by a mayor and five
councilmen. A deputy sheriff main
tains order. Daily mails arrive from
Crisfield and five steamers from Balti-
more touch the island each week. In
addition, magazines and metropolitan
newspapers are found on the news
stands.

HE little island Of Tangier, ly-
ing in Chesapeake bay oppo-
site the mouth of the Poto-
uaau river, and famed for it's
fine oysters, crabs and fish, was re-
Gently made the subject of an article
in which the island, it's population and
their customs were described with a
greater attention to effect than to
truth. The description was OF a
quaint. old fashioned, superstitious
community, far removed from the af-
fairs of the busy world.
But real pictures of the island of
Tangier do not bear out all the asser-
lions made. At one time these de-
scriptions might have represented con-
ditions there fairly well, just as they
might have represented scores OF
other communities in the United
States: but the Tangier of today is
vastly different from the Tangier of
years ago.
The island is one of the most beau
tiful bits of land that dot the bay
from Baltimore to the capes Of Vir-
ginia. 1t has population of about
1900 persons, who make their living
largely by catching the famous Tan
.gier oysters, crabs, fish and diamond
back terrapin, with which the sur
rounding waters abound. Seven
tenths of the soft crabs shipped from
Crisfeld, Nd, to all parts of the coun-
try are caught in the waters of Tan
gier.
Much of the history of the island
is lost previous to the year 1912. But
in the War of 1912 the British troops,
on their way to Baltimore, halted
there on what were then called the
camp grounds-a tract long since
claimed by the inroads of the bay.
During the stay of the British To-
cal preacher named Joshua Thomas
was invited to preach to the men.
Without fear he roundly upbraided the
British commander, General Ross, for
his intention to destroy Baltimore,
and informed him that he would be
killed. Students of history know that
the prediction came true.
