Special Dispatch to The star
BALTIMORE, June 29.--The auto
mobile has become a serious menace
to Maryland's supply Of cottontail
rabbits, according to State Game
Warden E. Lee LIE Compte. An appeal
was issued tbs week by LIE Compte
to motorists. especially those driving
on highways in the counties, to be
careful and not run down young
rabbits and other small game. He
said:
Particular care should be eXer--
cised by drivers at night when the
animals are blinded by the head
lights Of autos. Large quantities Of
valuable wild life are killed each
Summer unintentionally and, Of
course, at times unavoidably; how
ever, some game Is deliberately
killed.
Persons driving on the highways
would not have to exert much EFFORT
when game birds or game animals
are seen on the road to apply their
brakes and save some of these de-
sirable species. In doing 50, they
will not only. render very efficient
services TO the state game division
but 10 the agriculturists and sports
