SEES PRESIDENT
Senator Discusses Appointment
of DeIawarean to Inioortant Office

Senator Daniel o. Hastings was
one of President Hoover's callers
on Wednesday. The Delaware
Senator, while at the White House
conferred with Walter Newton,
one of President Hoover's secre-
taries. Later in the day Senator
Hastings called at the Republican
National Committee and discuss
ed campaign and other subjects
with James F. Burk, general
counsel of the committee. SEN
ator Hastings remained with the
President for some time, but de-
clined to make public the nature
of his call. The President express
ed a keen interest in the Della
ware campaign. While it was un-
'derstood that Senator Hastings
discussed the Forthcoming cam
paign with the President, it was
also understood that he is urging
President Hoover to name a Del
awarean to an important position
which it is understood that Sena-
tor Hastings believes should go to
Delaware. In addition to a num-
ber of political conferences en-
gagged in by Senator Hastings, he
also took up with General Lytle
Brown, chief of engineers, War
Department, the matter of inn
proving the channel of st. Johns
river, where statistics have shown
that the handling of one agricul-
tural product alone would justify
the government in making the inn
provement.

OYSTER SEASON
Prices as High as S1.50 Per Bush
ell Were Paid for First Glass Stock

With the letter r back in the
calendar, the Maryland oyster
season opened last week and tong
ers and packers on the Eastern
Shore began operations. Several
packers at Crisfield opened their
plants to start shucking for the
season, the oysters were reported
good in quality but scarce, and
prospects were for high prices un-
til the beginning of dredging in
November. The opening price was
quoted at 81 a bushel, with 81 so
paid for some first-class stock.
At Cambridge it was reported
that oysters were the usual size,
but shells were larger than ordin-
ary. Forecasts from the State
Conservatory Department before
the season opened were that oys-
ters would be plentiful and of
good size. Reports from deputy
commanders in Annapolis, West
River, Herring Bay, Eastern Bay
and Wye river districts were Civ
en- as the basis for the forecasts,
which was made by Swepson
Earle, State Conservation Com
missioner. Mr.. Earle added that
blight which had killed many
oysters in Virginia water would
result in an unusually heavy drain
this year upon the Maryland oys-
ter bar. 1t was reported that the
number of tongers obtaining Ii
censes for Pocomoke sound was
about the same as last year. The
number of tongers operating from
Crisfield has decreased greatly in
recent years.

Long Island Waterway

There is a so-called inland wa
terway from New York to Florida.
This route roughly parallels the
Atlantic coast, taking advantage of
natural waterways, although canals
are built wherever necessary. In
some places the route is only four
feet deep. It starts from the New
York harbor, follows the Delaware
river to Chesapeake bay, goes
through to Albemarle sound, thence
by artificial waterway TO Pamlico
sound. 1t goes outside from New
port, N. c., to Georgetown, S. c..
then parallels the coast to Florida.

NOV you can sleep more soundly,
~ awake more refreshed, than was
ever before possible! The Rome
Company, makers of the now famous
De Luxe Bedspring, have perfected q
nsw hind of springfield mattress
Slumberon-built on an entirely diff
ferent principle-"Weight Accom-
mediation"
Here, for the first time, the body is
given uniform, even support at every
point--legs, hips, waist, shoulders
regardless of weight. Buried deep
beneath Slumberon's layers of soft
upholstery is the newly perfected
coil spring construction-Rome's
secret of "Weight Accommodation"
Every Slumberon coil is free to dip
and rise independently of its neigh
bors, accommodating itself to the
weight just above it without COM
pressing any other coil -. Yet, I'M
like the usual springfield mattress,
the free action of these springs can
never be impaired by meshing or
tangling-for they are held perma-
nently vertical by new assembly of
springs in units of four with special
patented Rome Hinge Ties joining

modate your body to the springs of
