Boley Is Discouraged
DEALING that he was grow

might never reach the top, Boley
became discouraged as he read Of
the fabulous offers and Of Dunn's
stubborn decision to retain him.
The international League was
against the draft then and there
was no chance of his being picked
mp via that route.
I "Boley is getting a major
league players salary here" an
nounced Dunn, "and I'm gong to
keep him. He's a great player,
as good as any in the big leagues,
and my club is fully as strong
as any major league club. That's
why It keeps on winning pennants.
Boley is a necessary part OF the
machine"
But Boley declined to report
one spring and it was only after
being convinced he had no chance
of getting away from Baltimore
that he joined the team. He has
been with it ever since.
But down in his heart he must
have complained many a time as
he saw major league glories. f.d-

ing and reclaiming of game tish,
and is going to see that the game
and fish laws are lived up to dur
ing the open seasons.
While restocking has been one
method adopted by the Fish and
Game Commissioners, it has been
found that reclaiming bass and pike
particularly the former, has prov
ed more efficacious. Fishermen
who draw streams of the State are
paid so much for each game fish
reclaimed, and upon notification to
the nearest game warden that a
drawing will take place, the war
den is on hand to tally up on the
fish and arrange for their transfer
to ponds. 1t has been found that
reclaimed native bass are more sat

ods are used.
Delaware streams and ponds are
Meccas for outside fishermen, but
this very fact makes the work OF
conservation a vital undertaking;

from far and near, coupled with our
native brand of fishermen, the game

wiped out if conservation were not
faithfully practiced.
Special care will be taken this
season to see that nonresident
fishermen procure licenses and
obey to the letter the fishing laws
of the State. Last Sunday a test

THE MAKING OF FELT HATS

Few Of us have any idea of the
of small animals becomes the hat
on our heads. Most of us think, if
we think at all, that a hat is cut
out of a straight piece of felt. 1t
does not occur to us that felt has
to be made. In fact many people
probably do not realize that felt, or
at least hatter's felt, actually is a
thick mat of light animal hair not
woven but pressed together and held
closely interlocked by the minute
barbs or scales with which all hair
is provided. At least it did not Oc-
cur to me until Mr.. Cavanagh, one
of the foremost men in the business,
showed me the hundreds of five
pound bags of fluffy fur stored in

American beaver and muskrat. Rab-
bit fur, by the way, is often techni-
cally known as "coney." I was sur
prised to learn that no American
rabbit fur is used. The furs of our
+ native rabbits are of an inferior
quality to the imported ones.
Mr.. CaVanagh told me the story
of the discovery which has resulted
in the industry of hating. Cen
turtles back, as the story goes, St
Clement had to make a long Jour-
ney on foot. His feet became very
sore. Fortunately he was lucky
enough to kill rabbit. He made
pads of its fur and placed them as
cushions under his toes. When he
I reached the end of his journey he
found that the acids of the body haG
acted on the fur blending it into &
tight fabric which could not be
pulled apart. Thus felting was dis.

Dear Mr.. Boss:
I'm sorry-but this is to say
That 1 resign and won't be back;
For 1 have left the marts of toll
To wash-da-dish and sweep-da-

Down all the ages girls have wed
And many boss was left to rave;
Stonehatchet's fair stenog, no
doubt,
Dreamed of a cozy little cave.
And Mr.. Pharaoh doubtless found
That round in June, or maybe May,
His best stenog would like enough
Powder her nOse-and go her way.
1t matters not how good the job,
How kind the boss Il had a Prince)
For some one wrote the Wedding
March,
And girls have marched it ever
since.
So Mr.. Perkins, pretty please,
Don't be too cross with little me;
But wish me godspeed on my
trip
On Matrimony's stormy sea!
