Worcester To Get
Game Apportionment

The Stale Game Department re-
ports that after experiencing consid-
cradle trouble they have succeeded in
closing contract for the exporting
CT 10000 bob-white quail from Mexico
to this state. Worcester county is to
get her share of these birds which
will be at least $50, also the Depart
ment announces that a number of
cotton-tail rabbits will be placed
here. Hunters this year, report big
increase over that of several years
back in quail and other game. 1t is
believed that if the present laws are
kept in force this increase will be
more and more marked in the next
few years. Prior to the passage of
the present laws game was getting to
be very scarce in this county, and
in fact all over Maryland. That the
plan of putting out quail and other
game and the laws regulating the
seasons and especially the section for
bidding the sale of quail have proved
of great value is acknowledged by all
familiar with conditions.

THAT SHOULD PLEASE
Junior Aid Society OF Presbyterian
Church Will Have Benefit Pic
ture Thursday Night.

Robertson-Cole has presented film
fans with new master photoplay in
"Good Women" which will be the
attraction at the Empire on Monday.
The picture, which has an all-star
cast, is screen adoption of the orig
inal story, "Good Women" written by
c. Gardner Sullivan, the prominent
novelist. 1t deals with life in it's ev-
cry phase, and particularly as the
name of the production would imply
its effect upon women.

viii be seen in her latest Paramount
picture, "Silk Hosiery" at the EN-
pire on Tuesday. 1t is delightful
comedy filled with romance and
thrills. Godfrey Webb is the leading
man.
On Wednesday will come Mary
Miles Minter in Realart's production,
"The Little Clown" Briefly the story
concerns youthful bareback rider of
circus fame who responds to advan-
ces of young renegade of wealthy
Parents, much to disgust of his
naughty relatives.
Florence Vidor, in "The Jack Knife
Man," will be the attraction for
Thursday. This is a perturbation of
Ellis Parker Buffers novel by the
same name, and is a portrayal of the
strange people of the Missippi river.
1t is said to be one of the most unus-
ual stories ever screened, and is a
new release, not having run thus
far in many of the large cities. Miss
Vidor, who plays the leading role
will be remembered for her great
work in Lying Lips" recently shown
here. This picture will be shown for
the benefit of the Junior Aid Society
OF the Presbyterian Church and the
admission will be rs cents.
Robert w. Chambers popular So
ciety novel "The Restless Sex," has
been picturized and will be the at
traction at the Empire on Friday.
Marion Davies is the star and the
supporting cast includes such premi-
nent players as Carlyle Blackwell and
Ralph Kellard. Robert z. Leonard
directed.
"Bucking the Line" from story
by Francis Lynde, and starring Maui
rice Flynn, the football sensation of
1913 on the Yale University team,
will be shown on Saturday. The
young athlete recently was promoted
to stardom by VIM. Fox, and this is
his first picture under the rev con-
tract.

Railroads Ask Re-
peal of Burden
some Law
SO-CALLED FULL CREW REG
ULATION IS COSTLY TO
THE PUBLIC
TO THE GENERAL ASSEM-
BLY, OF MARYLAND:

III The ZEN ERAL ASSEM-
BLY, OF MARYLAND:
The undersigned Railroad Com
panies, all operating in the State
Of Maryland, join in petition to
your honorable body to act favor
ably on Senate Bill No. "a intro
duced by Hon. Walter Mitchell
which repeats the so-called full
crew law enacted in 1908. This
burdensome and wholly unneces-
sary law requires railroads to
man all freight trains of 30 or
more cars with crews Of six men;
viz: / Engineer, l Fireman, l Con-.
ductor and 2 Brakemen and l
Flagman g Brakemen). This
crew comprises one more Brake
man than the railroads need.
The petitioners respectfully
urge the abolition Of this extra
Brakeman
BECAUSE, the employment Of this
useless Brakeman is an unnecessary
burden on the railroads, and there
fore, on the public, which after all
pays the bill In 1919 the cost was
S314,sO4, in 1920 $4e8.s90, In 1921 u
year Of business depresS on $3jT ,2S2.
a total, during the past three years,
OF $l,179,0i8. During the la t ten
years this law has cost the Railroads
operating In Maryland approximately
TWO AND ONE-HALF MILLION
DOLLARS, without a single cent IN
return compensation.
BECAUSE. the extra Brakeman IL
not needed in the operation of trains.
The Federal Government requires au-
tomato couplers and air brakes on all
cars and prohibits the use of hand
brakes on trains. Two brakemen are
sufficient. Then why a third Brake
man?
BECAUSE, the railroads are vital
~ interested in the safe and economic
operation of trains, and are fully
qualified to decide upon the size of
the crews.
BECAUSE, this law places an I'M
necessary burden on the railroads and
leads to high passenger and freight
rates, In which the public is vitality
interested Ir 'ustry and trade must
be revived, winch Is possible only by
removing unnecessary burdens and
lessening Of, overhead charges. The
stringency of the times will be par
TALLY relieved by the repeal Of this

unemployment; It does mean the
transfer of men from useless to useful
occupations in other departments,
where the money pad them will be
more profitably expended In repair
ing locomotives, ears, tracks, etc.
BECAUSE, Pennsylvania and other
states have repealed similar laws. The
West Virginia Legislature refused to
pass a bill enacting such a law. Viz
ginia and Delaware are without such
law. Therefore, Maryland, alone In
this group of States, is hamper d by
full crew law.
We, therefore, appeal to your hon
Orable body to repeal this burden
some and unnecessary law.

LATEST NEWS FROM
THE STATE CAPITOL
Legislature Booming Along. Sam.
uel K. Dennis Being Talked Of
As Candidate For U.
S. Senate.

State House, Annapolis, Feb. 8: The
General Assembly is at last literally
booming along in. real old fashioned
style, and the State House is crowd
ed every day with delegations from
all parts of the Commonwealth, and
particularly from Baltimore city,
some of whom are opposing bills
while others are advocating the pas
sage of measures, which they claim
will be great blessings to the people
at large. Office seekers are also
here in force for within the next two
weeks the Governor will be obliged
to make his appointments, to fill the
large number of places the terms of
which will expire early in the spring
Labor leaders and agitators are also
here in some strength opposing the
passage of certain bills, while they
favor others which they claim are
necessary for the well-being of those
who toll for their daily bread.
While Governor Richie has been
slowly regaining his strength he has
been devoting large proportion of
his time to the public business, and
very few of even the most unimport-
ant details of his office have been ov-
CROOKED. While he has been sick and
confined to his room, some of the
would be leaders who are supposed to
be his friends, have been quietly and
secretly working to undermine him,
and thwart his plans, and they have
not given up yet, but the Governor is
now aware of what has been going
on and there is not much doubt but
that he will be able to regain all that
may have been lost by the treachery
and selfish ambition of those who
have been working against him, not
the fact that it was his
favor that placed them in positions
where they could be influential for
harm.
The prospective nominee for the
United States Senate, is one of the
leading subjects of discussion here,

Government Seed
Should Not Be Wasted

In spite of all the protests against
the distribution of free seeds by thu
government as an extravaganza
these are provided for by the last ap-
preparation bills and are now going
out to constituents of congressman.
While tl,is use of the taxpayers
money is not generally approved, still
as long as the thing is being done
the best possible use should be made
of these sec';s. If receiving them
would induce a lot of people to plant
gardens who otherwise would not
raise anything the distributin would
pay for itself.
