URGES CHANGE IN
The OYSTER Law
State Conservation Commission Says
Beds Need Replenishing.

Changes in the oyster laws to per-
nit expansion of the industry are
advocated in the annual report of
the State Conservation Commission.
The oyster beds need replenishing,
it is stated, but the expense should
Ie borne by the industry. Amend
ments to present legislation advo-
Gated are as follows:
Fixing a Statewide date for open
ing the longing season on Septem-
Der 20, or even October /.
Making the Oyster Gull law ap-
plicable to oysters found anywhere
within the State.
Applying inspection tax to all oys-
tiers about to be shipped out of the
State, and also to those purchased
for use as seed oysters on leased
areas.
Providing minimum sizes of fish
to prevent destruction OF undersiz-
ed specimens.

Ever since The middle OF last
December The great oyster i.,ut
which sails from Cam bridge has OK

back and Iorth since the last of that
month not single vessel has come
into the harbor. The steamer made
its last trip on Sunday, January 4,
and since that time, with each little

hope that it meant the breaking up
of the freeze, but each time the warn,

TO soften the ice, and sometime last
night, unable to longer withstand
the effect of the rain and wind the
ice gave way in the River and began

last only few more hours longer
many experienced persons venture
the belief that the river will be open

1t is hard to estimate the loss to
Cambridge that has resulted from
the freeZe-up; it runs into thousands
upon thousands of dollars and the
loss is felt by every class of citi-

HURLOCK SEEKS BETTER
SCHOOL FACILITIES

Editor
Some of your Cambridge citi-
zens have reminded the citizenship,
and the taxpayers, of Dorchester
County of the necessity of a bond
ssue for improving roads generally
and for providing improved and ad-
oitional school equipment for Cam
bridge. We think money appropri-
ated for improved facilities in Cam
bridge is the greatest need of that
community; we know that there is
no greater need at Hurlock than the
need for additional school building
and equipment. We, therefore, hope
that when the amount OF the propos-
ed bond issue is agreed upon provis-
ion will be made for adequate
school facilities for Hurlock, and
community.
Respectfully submitted,
S. ELWOOD ANDREWS.

TINE nrst hats and the first suits
4 for fall have made their entry.
They almost reconcile one to the pass
ing of summer and succeed in making
fall welcome. Women are remarking
of the suits, their straight but chic
lines, their trim ~fastenings up the
front, their high necks and with all
this their lack of severity. For these
suits are embellished with embroider-
les. needlework, used with much dis
terminating r~eticence. Handsome
composition buttons, sparingly used
where buttons are needed. match the
cloths in color. Coats are some
w'lnt longer, skirts are sufficiently
iull for comfort and remain plain,
belts are narrow and sometimes
!ong. but often they Jap across the
front and fasten with a button at
each side. Fur is much in evidence
in high collars and occasionally in
lnrge patch pockets and in cuffs.
Iilere is no indication anywhere that
women will favor cry short skirts

eru Tile styles thus far presented. IT
is a matter for rejoicing-the first
things are nearly always the best,
and these new suits have caused
great enthusiasm among well informed
and well dressed women.
Two of the earliest models are pic
tured here and they include one that
has a plated skirt and a jacket with
vest of brocaded ribbon. On the peck
cts at the sides there is a pretty ar
rangement of narrow braid, and this
also finishes the long sleeves. This
model is made of serge. The most
liked cloths are those on the order of
duvetyn, that is, having a velvety sur
face. of which there are several vari-
cites with INT of their own. A
suit of this kind is shown at the right
with wide collar of fur.

WYE ARE more allured by lovely
wv accessories of dress than by
essential clothing, and these furbe-
lows provide us a continuous, pleas
ing performance. Something new
claims attention all the time, and spices
up our work-a-day world of dress. 1t
is the daintiness and freshness of

cades in hats and bags or nOSegays
of ribbon flowers. or flowers of or
candle or artificial fruits of yarn AMI
numberlesS accessories made of rib
bon that keep the mind occupied and

Among the newest ornaments there
are chokers (collars) of ribbon with
full rosettes, to be worn close up
around the. neck. They are made of
rather narrow ribbon nd the
rosettes have, as a rule. several short
hanging ends. Just ahead of the au-
tumn leaves are new blouSes that
show neck finishing resembling that
perennial favorite, the frothy jabot,
but the surest indication for fall seems
to be the plated outstanding ruff Of
ribbon drawn close to the throat with
a narrow ribbon tie.

ribbon. There is a new line of these
ready for presentation to fall shop
pers. and some of them have hats to
match. Tops of the bags reveal new
designs, and there r many handsome
tasselS used for finishing them. The
soft draped OWL popular in fall
hats lend themselves to the ha1-and-

appears in the Illustration in which
Il narrow hrimmed shape of plain vel
vet has a crown of brocaded ribbon
draped so that it terminates in two
points at the side. Of urse these
two points exist merely to support two
handsome tassels that dangle from
them and brush the shoulder. The
shopping bag to match is pictured
mounted on a metal ring with round
top which probably holds a mirror on
the reverse side. One may lay a

ribbon covered box that carries COM
pact face powder and a lip stick.

was the uses Of taxation. When dogs
began killing sheep. the lawmakers did
not feel warranted in arbitrarily kill
ing the dogs; but by licensing them,
the owners saw to it that no more were
kept than were actually needed.
When the liquor question grew SER
ious, heavy tax was placed upon
dealers in order to limit the number.
During the Civil War when Congress
wished to retire State bank money,
yet feared to prohibit its circulation on
constitutional grounds, the desired end
was attained by levying tax of 10
per cent on State bank notes. SINH
lar reasoning appears in the proposal
to exempt houses from taxes in order
to encourage building.
Many persons are asking why the
same means is not adopted to restore
prices Why not, they ask. treat va
cant lots as Congress treated State
bank notes. Vacant lots serve no use
full purpose. They grow no food or
clothing and furnish no shelter, neither
do they employ any labor. Why not.
ii is asked, drive vacant lots out of
existence by a heavy tex that will CO..
pei the owner to put them to use. And
if they were put to use, they will err
ploy labor. They will furnish food
and shelter, and help to bring down
the high cost Of living.
If paying heavy taxes on things will
drive them out of existence, taking
taxes off of things tends to make them
increase. AS the taxes on vacant lots
are increased, the taxes on buildings
and all manner of goods can be de-
creased so that food, clothing. and
shelter will be cheaper. They will be
cheaper for two reasons, first, because
more will be provided by making va
cant lots productive, and second, be-
cause what is produced will not have
to pay taxes. The idea appears to
Be worthy Of serious consideration.

In extending its colonies, land must

The Declaration Of independence
says: I'VE hold these truths TO be self
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty, and
the pursuit Of happiness"
What does this word equality"
mean2
The weak are not so strong as the
stout, it does seem;
As the man with the most perfect
brain
Can do more than the weak or insane.
The Giant is man Of great
physique,
While the Midget is small and very
weak;
Yet the small man may have giant
mind
While the large mans is of the small
er kind
So here's one. weak and narrow
cbested-
Another strong and double-breasted.
The weak sees the future with mem
tai power,
While the strong sees only the present
hour.
Hence-there is no equality in Gods
creation;
Each must fill his own natural station,
Just as our Father intended we should.
And no other way will be as good.
The Declaration has this sequel,
That all men are created equal"
It cannot mean in averdupois.
Neither can it mean in mental poise.
If "Self-evidence" these words are
They don't apply to the present hour,
Or rather to the human form;
As some were blind when they were
born.
To me the "self-evidence" were
To make the earth as free as air.
If the land belonged to the people,
LIES pursuits would then be equal.
