Opposition To Breeding Bureau.

Strong opposition to the proposed
breeding bureau, to be established by
the Racing Commission, has developed
in the State Board Of Agriculture.
Hostility to the proposed bureau is
said to have been reflected in a meet
ing at the Governors Office between
Governor Ritchie, State Treasurer
John NJ. Dennis, who is a member of
the Board of Agriculture, and Joseph
P. Kennedy, of the Racing Commission.
Mr. Kennedy had announced that he
was going to present to the Governor
and Mr.. Dennis his plans for breed
ing bureau commission Of five mem.
bers, one to be member of the Racing
Commission, one from the Maryland
State College and three to be named by
the Racing Commission.
Governor Richie, after the meeting.
made it plain that he was hands off"
in the matter Mr.. Kennedy, it is un-
derstood, has tried to get the Governor
to foster the plan and originally pro-
posed that he name three members of
the commission. The Governor, how
ever, has refused
Just how far opposition to the breed
ing bureau will make itself felt is not
yet certain. but it appears that, lacking
active support of the Governor, the
Racing Commission will have diff
cult time inaugurating its project if
the forces in the State Board of Agri.

Shell Needed In Oyster Beds.

Establishment of large areas OF shell
bottoms through buying oyster shells
and dumping them in localities where
the local conditions will aid in assur
ihg increase in natural production is e
recomm endation which the Conserva
ton Commission makes in its annua
report, just issued.
The report estimates that 100000 bs
expended.
The commission will ask an appro
priation of 100000 year for period
of two years for purchase and plant
ing oyster shells. To provide this suE
an increased oyster tax will be recon
nended. The report also asks the re.
peal of local fish laws and the enact
ment Of statewide fish law and fed
eral migratory fish law. The protec.
ton of crabs also forms part of the
recomm endations. Protection in its
spawning season and prevention OF
winter dredging in Virginia, to be &C
complished by cooperation between
the State of Virginia and the federal
regulations, is also recommended.
The report states that the commits
sion has selected areas opposite Girls,
field off Deals Island, Piney Point, st
Mary's county, and off Chesapeake
Beach, which are to be planted with
shells, in order to give the oyster spot
something to catch on.
1t is also proposed that license On
hook-and-line fishermen will be asked
of the next legislature.

State Will Respect Law.
Annapolis
The Eighteenth Amendment, in the
opinion of Governor Richie, must be
given the same respect accorded any
other part of the Constitution, without
any questioning of the amendments
necessity or expediency. The Gov
ernor thus expressed himself to Geo.
w. Crabbe, superintendent of the Anti
saloon League. This, his first public
declaration favoring enforcement Of
the amendment, is sure to cause con-
sternation among his wet" supporters.
The Governors expression was con-
tanned in letter declining, because
of a previous engagement to attend
the recent league rally of the Lyric.
Good citizens cannot fail" said the
Governor, "to view with concern any
evidence Of unrest and disorder, as
well as any evidences of impaired re.
spect for law and constituted author

ject.
81 note the statement in your letter
of the leagues support Of the policy

ment cannot now rest upon the ques'
tion of its necessity or expediency, and
it must be given the same respect as

BOLD BROWN SPIDER

wv HEN Brown Spider first began

conceited that everyone said in Spider
Town that he would come to grief at
an early age.
He spun webs in the most danger
oUs places, and no matter what hap
pened to the web Brown Spider was
sure to escape unharmed and begin
another. home In more dangerous
place.
"You will be killed some day"
warned all the neighborhood spiders,
for there were many spiders living in
the attic where Brown Spider lived,
but he only laughed at their warming
end kept on with his reckless doings.
One day Puss came to the attic
bunting for mice, and when she ran
under a chair where Brown Spider
sat in his web near the floor she took
the web and Brown Spider, too, away
on her back.
Everyone thought that was the end
of him, but by and by he came rum
ming across the attic floor and began a
new web under low shelf by the
window.
ST guess you were scared that
time" said one spider from her safe
home high in a corner.

Brown Spider. Il just wanted a
ride; that was all. I went part way
downstairs on her back and then
jumped off. 1t was great sport. Why
don't you try it some day?"
It was no use; he would never own
he was beaten or scared; but one day
