Modern Girl Superior

Girls Of today come much nearer be-
ing modern Dianas than their sisters
Of the preceding generations. The
physical education department Of an
Ohio coeducational college has pre-
scented the evidence.
The modern girl is taller, stronger
and heavier than her grandmother and
her mother were at the same age. The
tests are conclusive, for they represent
studies made Of 1000 women entering
college in each Of three periods: from
1886 to 1903, from 1909 to 1915, and
from 1918 to 1922.
The average freshman woman, up to
1903, was 5 feet 26-10 inches in
height. Her college sister Of this day
Is nearly two inches taller.
Various strength tests similarly
show the superiority Of the modern
girl. Feminine styles and the social
requirements for women today admit
tedly are not perfect, although they
represent a distinct advance over the
last decades of the Nineteenth and the
first decade of the Twentieth centu-
ries.-Toledo Blade.

SHEER BLUFF MADE
BY SCOUT WON OUT
Audacity Dumfounded War
Party of Redskins.

1t was related by scout named
Sage that on one occasion In Kansas
in 1913, being out with his friend Grin
in search for fertile place on which
to recruit their horses, they had wan
dered some miles out of sight of the
caravan, when, upon descending the
ridge of a mound into the hollow be-
You'd, they were confronted by party
Of Pawnees. Without pausing to re-
fleet, the traders turned their horses
heads and galloped back the way they
had come. The redskins gave rapid
chase, and their arrows began to
whistle on the still air, II. r. Water

There are 500 Of the" exclaimed
Grin to his companion.
"There are not forty" said Sage.
Twenty dollars on It there are
forty" was rejolned.
Twenty dollars, then, Is the figure"
said Sage.
And not Stacking their speed for an
instant, the hands Of the doughty dis
putants were grasped In confirmation
OF the bet.
"And now, how are we to know who
winsY was the query.
"I'll count them," said Grin, and
thereupon the veteran Of the woods
wheeled full into the faces Of the as
sailants and, extending the foreflnger
grasped revolver, deliberately began
counting
wo-three-four-"
Amazed at this turn of affairs and
not knowing what to make Of 1t, the
foremost Pawnee drew in his pony. AL

dismay at the assurance which en-

The lank finger of the trader slowly

Only Sunday last, a staff CORES
pendent of the Baltimore Sun, made
the following report on the present
conditions on Deals Island as result
of our inability to preserve the sea-
food industry.
with nearly every store on this
island barred and closed and the few
open for business carrying but scanty
stock, Deals Island is facing an era
Of denial and sacrifice"
This is story of an American COM
munity facing dissolution because the
very means that in the past have made
it prosperous people have been
wasted and squandered. A few years
ago these Somerset county home
makers felt that in the Chesapeake
Bay there was unending wealth and
they staked their all in boats and the
scafood industry.
Nets were placed this spring as al
ways, but no fish came into them.
Hundreds of boats all groomed for the
summer work are anchored around
the island, but not enough crabs are
being caught to feed the people of
the island. There is failure in every
thing that makes for the happiness
of these people whose forebearers
came to America before Baltimore
wa seven a village. They are water
men and poorly fitted for work upon
the land, yet today boat captains and
their crews are in the fields picking
Strawberries or out in the swamps
helping build state roads to their is
lond. Somerset has been the great
est seafood center in the world. Girls
field is a part of it, and from that
city the same cry is heard that the
end of the Bay industry has been
reached. There is no whining or
complaint, but the thinking people of
Deals Island frankly say that it will
not be long before Maryland will be
confronted with the problem Of TAX
ing care of this part of her State.
This correspondent spent several
days in actual contact with the resi-
dents of this island and the horrible
conditions which he has laid before
us actually exist
Lack of foresight has led to the
present condition and a lack Of con-
servation will lead to a far worse
state of affairs in the near future.
God has smiled upon the "Land of
Evergreens," in this particular, and
it now remains the duty of every citi-
zen to preserve this blessing for the
future sons and daughters Of our
State.

gymen an dphysicians all crowded the
fishing grounds. The favorite stretch
and the steamboat wharf.
DR.. John T. B. McMaster, the father
of the donor of the Old Home Prize,
whenever he could steal a minute
from his profession would be found
out on the river in shad boat. In
the evening the shops opened and
everybody was on hand to tell his
own individual fish story They were
the good old days when shad literally
choked the Pocomoke from bank to
bank. But the tremendous run which
filled the rivers and bays of our Shore,
as the Chinook Salmon in the Colum-
bia river, is thing of the past. Shad
are caught in pounds in the bays but
rarely ever reach the rivers now.
The early settlers of Maryland and
Virginia enjoyed seafood of delicious
flavor long before other parts of the
country became acquainted with it.
Due to its shape and appearance, the
"Sea Spider" or common crab, was
a long time finding its way to the
tables of the North and West. The
people of the Eastern Shore fought
hard for it's recognition on the first
class menus Of the country, and many
years elapsed before it was finally ac-
complished. But their efforts were
we'll rewarded and the victory of the
crab marked the birth Of one of the
greatest industries on the shore. For
several years the soft and hard shell
crabs were caught in great numbers
around and off Crisfield, Maryland,
until the introduction of the gasoline
boat. This permitted the hand Of
greed to extend far over the waters
of the bay until now the future exis-
tence of the crab is in serious danger.
The Virginian at the mouth of the
Capes has throttled it's migration
from the ocean to the bay by out
rageous methods of catching which
begin when the crab season starts and
continues until the close In Hamp-
ton, Va, at the present time the fe-
male or spawning crab is thrown in
and cooked with the rest. With this
destructive blockade at the entrance
of the Bay the crab is becoming scare
er and scarcer up in the Maryland
waters Our State has tried to come
to some agreement with Virginia as
to laws governing this industry but
nothing successful has been accom-
plished. Appeals have been made to
Secretary Hoover who has called
meeting after meeting Of the Govern
ors and authorities of both states
without any betterment of conditions.
The Marylander now feels that the
only thing which will keep this profit
able industry about his shores is Ma
tional intervention. Matters have ap-
preached tragic crisis and the time
for a state wide protest has come.

member when the Chesapeake Mack
erel were so famous and abundant.

(By Granville @. Adams)


Conservation of food has been the
great question of the ages. Ever
since the time when our ancestor, the
cave man, went forth with his club in
search of meat and his woman dug the
herbs of the earth that life might be
sustained, food and it's conservation
has been of paramount Importance to
humanity.
Individuals, nations and tribes have
measured their wealth and greatness
by their power to accumulate in guam
titles that which would prolong life.
Rome while at her greatest, levied
her tributes upon all vassal countries
in supplies. Spain who succeeded
Rome maintained her power and COM
mercial supremacy until her colonies
revolted and shipment of supplies to
the mother country ceased
Great Britain, who proudly boasts
that the sun never sets on her posses
sions will hold her place upon the
high seas just so long as her colonies
produce the wheat and corn, which
have made Liverpool the worlds grain
market. With this history behind
them, is it any wonder that the old
English and Irish families, who set
tied Virginia and Maryland should
write back home that they had found
a land literally flowing with milk and
honey?
Although the New World possessed
different crops and fertile lands which
were uncommon in the Old World,
the early settlers soon recognized the
great value Of the seafoods which A
merica had in such abundance. The
Chesapeake Bay section, with it's n,l-
merous rivers, was signally blessed
in this particular.
The old Indian chief, known to his
torians as the Laughing King of the
Ac-Cow-Macks soon disclosed to the
followers of old Scarborough, the Vir-
ginia Commissioner, how delicious
were the oysters growing wild in Po-
comoke Sound. What a land-the
natural habitat of the oyster, the
waters choked, at certain seasons of
the year, with the finest food fish and
the flats and marshes teeming with
countless millions of wild ducks,
geese, and swan; terrapin so album
dant that they were fed to the slaves
so often that many became ill. 1t is
a matter of record that one of the
members of the first Maryland Assem-
bly, passed a law making it a serious
offense, and punishable by fine of
fifty pounds of tobacco for any slave
holder feeding his slaves on terrapin
more than one day in week, and
that law can be found on the old stat
ute books today. Imagine it-terra-
pin worth today 500 per dozen and
to be found only on the tables of the
very rich, so plentiful that slaves had
to be protected by law from the over
feeding of it.
Years ago, when Pocomoke was
known as New Town, the spring run
Of shad furnished more excitement
for the inhabitants than did any other

GERMAN SECURITY
VALUATION STARTS

BERLIN, Sept. IA DIR.
Adolf Friedrichs, departmental chief
in the finance ministry, has been des-
ignated by the German government as
special commissioner to the United
States to regulate the claims Of per.
sons in America holding German fed
eral or state loans or other securities
falling under the revaluation law.
DR.. Friedrichs is leaving for the
United States on Thursday on the
liner Columbus. One of his duties
will be to designate the banks through
which claims for revaluation may be
filed.
The finance ministry today issued
warning against the practice of
many holders of German government
securities in America of sending these
securities to friends in Germany with
power of attorney to present their
claims. This only leads to confusion,
1t was said. DIR. Friedrichs' arrange
ments will enable all such holders to
present their claims directly.
The work arising from revaluation
law is unparalleled in German finan
cial history. More than 40.000,000 Sc
curities must be exchanged for reval-
uation papers, and millions of claims
must be individually examined to sep
arate owners who bought before the
period of German initiation from those
who acquired their securities later.

FOR A|RSH|P PROBE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. ID
R)-A court of inquiry to investigate
the Shenandoah disaster with Rear
Admiral Hilary p. Jones, chief of the
navy's general board as its president,
was appointed today by Secretary
Wilbur.
The work of this board will sup
plement that of the special board of
nine men appointed by President
Coolidge to delve thoroughly into the
broad question of the nations air
policies, which has been the subject
Of bitter controversy since tie Shen-
andoah disaster.
At the time Mr.. Wilbur was an
nouncing the personnel of the Shen-
andoah board. the War Department
made plans to have Colonel William
Mitchell, chief figure in the whole
controversy, available as an expert
witness for the Presidents special
board when that body begins its in.
quiry.
1t was explained at the War De-
partment that neither disciplinary pro-
ceedings which have been initiated
against Colonel Mitchell nor his of
ficial duties as chief of air service
in the Eighth Corps Area would be
permitted to interfere with his ap,
pearance before the special board.
The War Department will make it
clear to the board that it does not
wish to restrict in any way the testi-
mony Colonel Mitchell may be asked
to give and that the board itself will
be the only body with power to con-
troll the scope of its inquiry into the
charges Colonel Mitchell has made.
