But l will miss you SO much when
you've went.

Tiny Crabs Fell
With ShoUer Of
Rain Yesterday

Little hard shell crabs falling out

crabs.
w. T. Pcddicord. employed by the
Strange Motor Car Company, this
city, is authority for the statement
that it "rained crabs" yesterday Fur
thermore. he brought evidence to The
Capital Office this morning to support
the statement. A dozen or more of
the little crustaceans were exhibited.
Their little bodies resemhled the ordi-
nary crab. as did their claws and
fins. except that in some instances.
the great claws were of irregular
shape, or one larger, than the other
Mr. Peddicord and his family live
on the farm of Gary Fowler. on the
State road from Camp Parole to
South river. and it was there that
the shower of crabs occurred. MIR.
Peddicord says his children first at
tracted his attention to the erals hy
bringing several of them into the
house Upon investigation. he found
the ground about the house literally
covered with the small shellfsh. and
practically all of them were alive and
kicking.

First Maryland Regiment, went down
to defeat last night before the five of

peared.
The measures were amended in
committee The first makes changes
in the general law governing oyster
taking. while the second has TO do
with special oyster inspectors and the
tax on oysters. The latter bill was
amended in committee TO limit TO $1S,-
900 the amount of money to be spent
by the Conservation Commission on
oyster planting and 10 fix at 2-3 cents

same matter were passed TO third

What Tree Law Provides

The Tree Law as modified under the
Act OF 1916 provides. THAT no trees
shall be planted under the provisions
of the foregoing section without the
consent and approval of the owner Of
the land on which they are planted" :"
and to meet the objection of some
farmers THAT trees standing within
the right-of-way of unimprOved public
roads 49,. may be cut down and re-
moved by the abutting land owner for
his own use. without first obtaining a
permit"
In short, the Tree Law is the only
disinterested means which the public
at large has for encouraging the
planting and preservation of trees to
beautify our roads, and any material
modification or repeal would remove
Maryland from the list of progressive
States along these lines.

Brown came To Annapolis in regard

House Bill No. 401, by which il is pro
posed TO repeal the Roadside Tree
Law which has been in satisfactory
operation for eight years past.
The administration of this law has
the approval of the majority of the
Pole Line companies, and is the
medium which protects the abutting
property owner. while the permit
granted by the State Forester allows

by having the thinning done in a pro

which without such a law would be

ing, as the actual work of trimming is
done by the party applying for the
permit. but under supervision OF the
