their tents by their own standards.

STATE
CAPITAL
Annapolis


DR.. John 8. Fulton. secretary Of the
State Board of Health. has announced
that failure OF the board to enforce
the cold storage law enacted by the
last legislature has been due to q
lack of funds.
Under the provisions of the law
fresh meats, fish, game, poultry ana
eggs cannot be held in cold storage
for more than a year unless the Sec
retary of the State Health Board gives
a 3O-day exemption. These exemption
permits are issued after an Inspection
of the products in storage. No exemp-
ton permit can exceed 60 days.
Another important feature of tho
law is that any article mentioned IN
the measure which has been held in
cold storage for 80 days or longer
either in this or any other State, Is
regarded as cold storage goods and
when offered for sale must bear q
sign, Cold Storage Goods. The State
Board holds that these letters should
be at least half an inch in height.
The operators also must make
monthly reports to the State Board.
In speaking Of the law DR.. Casparf.
IA charge Of the Department OF tho
Health Board, which enforces the law.
says that while it is not dead letter
It Is impossible to enforce 1t at this
time because no funds are forthcom'
ing for that purpose. He says 1t will
require about $4,000 year to enforce
it. Experts, he said, would have to be
employed to do the inspecting work.
Provision also is made by the law
that all cold storage plants must Dd
in good sanitary condition and the
operators Of the plants must pay
license of $25. Another section pro-
vides the marking of all articles re-
ceived and sent out. The Inspection
of the plants also is provided.
Heavy penalty for violation Of tho
provisions of the law is provided. For
the first offense the fine cannot exceed
S1OO. But the subsequent offenses may
mean a fine of up to $500 or imprison-
ment up to six months, or both.
Deep-Water Oysters Scarce.
There is serious danger of a con-
siderable shortage in the oyster sup
ply, according to William H. Killian.
of the Conservation Commission, who
says that deep-water oysters are SO
scarce that many Of the dredgers say
they are unable to make a living and
are thinking Of turning to longing.
And longing operations. Mr.. Killian
says, will be restricted very much II
the present rainy weather is followed
by severe cold, for it is practically i'm
possible to tong If thick ice forms over
the beds. The Conservation Commits
sion is hopeful that the situation will
be improved when the Potomac river
seed area is thrown open on the first
of the year for the taking of market
able oysters. But that is only hope.
for no one knows how many market
able oysters will be found on the
ground.

The most charming little hats can
be made from crochet with very little
expense and trouble. The model we
illustrate here was made for q child
Of five to seven years.
A mushroom shape in buckram IS
covered with the crochet, the effect be-
Ing surprisingly smart; it is trimmed
with a ruche Of ribbon, finished by
bow at side. Any mercerized cotton
ean be used. Milford's No. 8 knitting
cotton and q No. 3 steel hook were
used for the one shown here.
The following directions will be

and increases will, of course. be regu-
lated by the shape and size of the hat; ;
anyone who crochets will, however.
know what increases and decreases
are necessary to make the work lie fiat
over the shape.
Nearly two balls of cotton will be
needed. Procure a shape the size re-
Quired.
Make q ring of 5 chain and work
into it as many double cr0chets as
will fill 1.-THE ring should be quite
small, so that there Is scarcely any
hole left in the center.

and make chain stitch; =, draw a
loop through the chain just made, an
other through the back thread Of the
last loop of the previous stitch, one
through the same stitch as the last
loop was drawn, and one through the
next stitch of the previous row; draw
through all five loops at once and make
chain stitch. Repeat from all

Of the following two stitches Of the
previous row; draw through the five
loops and make chain stitch; repeat
from eight times more, then work one
stitch like those in the previous row,
then repeat from the commencement
of the row, and continue working round
and round, making an increase at every
