BETTERTON. Nd, May 1O-That
the last move toward the absolute
| destruction of shad and rock FISH has
probably been accomplished is the
opinion of the seasoned fisherman OF
this little bay port.
The pound net has arrived at the
mouth Of the Susquehanna. with
one end fastened to Locust Point. on

key Point Lighthouse. with only a
narrow opening for the passage of
boats up the river the stoppage of
the migration OF fish to the spawn
ing grounds Is assured. This barrier
is reinforced by three others interlap-
ping. making sure that no mother
fish shall reach the rapids above
Port Deposit. where her mission IS
wont to be accomplished.
A few years ago an ordinary
weeks fishing in the Upper Bay
netted the fisherman 1000 or more
shad. Right now is the peak OF fish
ing. and the lucky boats viii not
make the 100 mark. Others of the
more than 100 fishing outfits will
not receive enough 10 pay their
operating expenses Each Of these
ashing outfits represent an outlay
OF $500 to $4,000
Above the Sinclair Pound at
Spesutia lies the fats" and then
opens up the deep water OF the Sus-

is done only by drifting nets or by
three haul seines. The haul seins
are fshed from floats or rafts with
housing facilities and necessary
equipment. For about Is days they
have been on their sets" and nets
have been cast into the water only

given UP the fight and withdrawn.
Before the advent OF the motor
boat fishing about Betterton was all
carried on IN the Sassafras river.

with the situation the two stories
conflict. To the initiated they are a
sequence. Two years ago. it may he
remembered, there was no spring

Pinnplesa and
bOils
caused BY errors
of diet

Awell- known skin specialist
says that pimples are "sig-
nal flags of danger" often
indicating errors in diet.
Indeed pimples are so frequent
ly associated with faulty habits Of
eating and improper digestion that
the first thing to do is to see that
our food is right.
Fresh yeast is a wonderful cor
rective food for these skin disor-
ders. Fleischmann's Yeast is rich
in the elements which improve
appetite and digestion and which
keep the intestines clean of poi
sons.
Physicians and hospitals all over
the country are recommending
Fleischmann's fresh yeast for PIN
Piles and boils. 1t gets right at the
basic cause of these complaints.
Eat 2 to 3 cakes of Fleisch-
mann's fresh yeast daily before or
between meals to keep your skin
healthy. Be sureit's Fleischmann's
Yeast-the familiar tin-foil pack

life, in its early incidents, and then
takes the leading actress into the

upon them as a relative. How Miss
Hammerstein, by her artistry, makes
the actress impress her personality

The story runs along with increas-
