Seasons Tor Shooting Game.

As we are receiving numerous IN
quiries regarding the open seasons on
game, will you kindly publish the
following in your valuable paper for
the benefit of your readers:
The Squirrel season for the State
OF Maryland in most OF the counties
opens on Monday, August %, and
closes again on October 1st. Anne
Arundel, Talbot, Charles, Prince
Georges and Calvert counties, do not
open their Squirrel Season until No
vember 10, and closes December =.
Dorchester county opens their season,
September l to January L.
All persons hunting for Squirrels
on Monday or after will be required
to have their license, and the Deputy
Wardens are instructed to arrest any
person found hunting without a IL
censa, and take them Immediately
before a Justice Of the Peace where
they will undoubtedly be fined $l5.OO
and costs.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing throughout the State, as to
the opening OF the Dove season. The
State Law opens the season on Doves
on August Is, but the Federal Gov
eminent has included the Dove in
the list of Migratory birds this sea-
son, and does not permit their killing
in the State OF Maryland, until the
first day of September; although
persons shooting doves between
August Is and September l are not
liable under the State Law, they
would subject themselves to prosecu-
ton by the Federal authorities.
United States Deputy Game Wardens
have brought to trial 125 cases and
secured conviction in over 100, under
the Treaty provisions with Canada
and Great Britain. The rem2lnlnj;
number of these cases are either
pending or there was a lack OF EVIL
dence to convict.
/ The Judge of the District Court in
Kansas, who ruled that the old Mi
gratory Bird Law was unconsutu-
tional. has held that the present
Treaty regulations are constitutional
and has given a verdict in favor OF
! the United States in two cases, which
were before his Court, and a proml-
nent citizen of that State has been
heavily fined for shooting game con
trary to the Federal Law.
! The season for Reed Birds and
Rail Birds opens September 1. The
reports as to these birds, are, that
they have arrived in consid 7rable
numbers, and that shooting will be
good License of course is neces-
sary. and the bag limit on each D1rd
is so per day. Chief Deputy Warden
Talbot Denmead will be on hand
with one OF the District Deputy's on
the marshes of the Patuxent RlVeT
on August 81, and the following days
to see that all hunters have their IL
censes. 1t is therefore. advisable to
get the license before starting on
this trip.

Armenian Relief
Campaign
Sumter Committee Organized
For Work.

The American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief, Sumter
county organization, held a meeting
at the Y. M. G. A. Monday afternoon
and it was planned to make a special
drive for this relief during the week
beginning January 12. In accordance
with this there will be a Union service
Sunday night, January II, at Trinity
Methodist church for the purpose Of
receiving contributions and starting
this important work off right. DR..
John l.. Weber, distinguished speak
er will make short talk and special
music will be furnished by the
choirs Of the several churches.
Sumter county is expected to raise
sS.O0O.00 and it is certain that the
people of Sumter will not fail in this
important part of the war work IN
which they have been so faithful.
Here is a copy of a cablegram re-
ceived from President Wilson by
Cleveland H. Dodge, SO John ST., New
FORK: "The appropriation asked OF
congress for handling food relief is
not intended in any way to take the
plae of the subscriptions being ask
ed 1.r relief and rehabilitation in the
Near East. I hope this subscription
will not in any way be interrupted or
reduced. The need is immediate and
very great" Woodrow Wilson.
Another from Herbert Hoover:
"The world relief program now be-
ing developed by the United States
and the allies contemplates that
wherever possible relief work will &c
financed by the countries affected
through the medium of loans OF o'ner
government assistance. Nevertheless
distress and sufferi,c exists in many
areas where payment for relief sup
plies cannot be made. These charity
cases will still urgently need private
benevolence.
'tThis is the situation with regard to
Arnenians, Syrians and Persans.
There is probably no greater suffering
today than among the prosecuted
peoples Of Asia Minor who have no
funds and cannot secure government
loans and have no other credit. It is
to aid this distressing situation that
your committee for Armenian and Sy-
rian Relief is making it's appeal to the
generosity of the American people.
With your financing accomplished,
your committee representing these
stricken people can come under the
direction of the New Interallied World
Relief organization and will receive
it's cooperation in the purchasing and
shipment of supplies.
Arrangements are now being made
to assign one complete -four cargo
now enroute for southern Europe to
the order of your committee and fur
ther supplies will shortly be allocated
to you by the Interallied committee

County Health Survey.

To the Colored Friends in City and
County:
:, We are writing, this to ask that
we, all make a. strenuous effort. to
raise the remaining 1915 that will
make up the $500 that. we promised
to raise, aside from the. moral, ply
sical and educational value that will
result from the health survey. 1t IS
our. duty to do as we have promised
We, have been advertised as doing
great many good things that have
bee very complimentary to us; let US
nor drop back in this the most i'm
.por1ant effort yet. made for the good
Of the general. public. Let Us not hold
back waiting for any. one but come 20
the front and do our duty by con-
tributing g.. we are able to do:
When we realize ,:5hat good the sums,
small OF. large that we give will be
instrumental in helping to- better the
condition. Of the $4,000 negroes and
the IA 900, white people in the coun-
ty, fer if the whites: are cared for
which. constitute only about one-haaf
of the county's population and the
very large number of our race are
not made intelligent along health
lines, we can readily see what a men
ace to sanitation we will be. We
know that because of poverty and GER
tain restrictions as to where negroes
can live, then our general ignorance
concerning right and clean living
makes, everything less favorable for
US. The only thing for us to do, Il
to scome- together with our mites and
go. over the top. This will crafty
our white friends, who have faith =
us, and will be Of f:incalculable. cane-4t
to those who need to be- cared for.
: We hope this appeal will reach the
hearts of all who have and have not
subscribed, so that you will take or
send at once what you can to Mr.. E.
I. Reardon at the Chamber of Com
merce. We ask those who are real
~ interested in raising the balance
Of this money to meet at MIR. r. w.

comes serious one for women ev-
.erywflere. IN the January. Good
Housekeeping w. L. George gives a
straightforward statement Of the best
and worst possibilities Of the dispro-
portioned population resulting from
the war : :
Many women, before the war. knew
that their chances OF marriage were
not great; now they will know it
much. better, and indeed they will ex-
aggerate. Many must rush. 20 an ex-
treme and conclude that their chances
are nil. What result will this have?
]. do not suppose that many women
of stereotyped morality will be affect
ed, but there always were women who
restrained their impulses because they
expected to- marry. It is likely that
under present conditions, under the
artificial stimulus Of male shortage, a
rather enhanced number will defy
convention. 80, =. -, .~.s-
This is important, because morals
gre a matter for custom rathe" than
fer law. and. increasing examples j OF
free action are likely to speed up the
world movement. Until the bagin-
ming of the century, women showed
little sign of supporting one another
on those two points; they we're en-
thralIed by rather mechanical moral
laws; they tended to take Of NOR Il
IA pses as harsh views as did men. anc
sometimes they were harsher still; an
obscure sex envy seemed TO drive
them to cast the first stone when mel
hesitated. -
It is also likely that women will nc
longer. submit to modern marriage; as
expressed by our divorce laws. There
;s no reason to think that any wide
spread objection to. marriage vii
arise, even though in certain advan:'
ed circles free alliances may De assist
,, ed by propaganda and the shortage o.
men: today as yesterday the immense
majority of women realize that WITT
all its faults, with all the dullness i
entails, marriage is the best ane
most normal condition. But this doe:
not mean that lifelong marriage
should be looked upon as an intan
gible institution. We have already
slackened the tie by divorce, but tht
/ institution is not yet slack enough t(
; fit modern needs.-January Coco
