ESTABLISH KEY STREAMS
FOR SEASON OF FISHING
Conservation Department Inau-
gurates a New MethOd-Bear
Greek Stocked with $500 Trout
SEASON OPENS SATURDAY

Establishing certain waters in var
ious counties as "key" streams, the
State Conservation Department will
inaugurate a new method when the
fresh-water trout season opens this
Saturday in an attempt to better dis
tribute the efforts of those who take
to the brooks and runs in search of the
gamey speckled beauties.
The "key" streams have all been
stocked heavily, and if the plan of the
Conservation Department works out
so that all anglers do not flock to one
or two of the best known streams and
fish it to death during the first few
days the key streams and others that
warrant it will be restocked from time
to time during the open trout season
in order to guarantee good sport dur
ing the period of fishing.
10000 Trout Planted
Approximately 10000 brook and
rainbow trout, all of legal size or bet
ter, are being retained in the rearing
ponds at the trout hatchery stations
for the purpose of restocking the
streams during the open season.
Garrett county has been well
stocked with trout and has the dis
tinction of having the heaviest
stocked stream in the State. That is
Bear Creek, in which $500 brook trout
were planted.
The official paintings of brook trout
in Garrett county streams from Octo-
Der, 1882, to March II, 1888, is as fol-
lov,c.

The condition of Wilma Speicher,
13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Lewis Speicher, Of the Cove, who was
struck by an automobile driven by
Earl Guard, of Friendsville, at a
point on the National Highway west
of Keyser's Ridge, last Friday after
noon, is much improved, according to
reports from the Frantz Hospital, in
Confluence, Pa, to which institution
she was taken following the accident.
The child had alighted from the
Accident State Line school bus and
was watching truck which was be-
ing put back on the highway after it
had skidded from the icy pavement in
to the roadside ditch, when the car,
driven by Mr.. Guard, and coming in
the opposite direction, struck her, the
driver being unable, owing to the ex-
tremely slippery condition of the
roadway, to stop his machine to
avoid the accident. Garrett county
officials who made an investigation,
said the accident was unavoidable, and
Mr.. Guard was absolved from all
blame.
The girls right shoulder and arm
were badly bruised, head injury re-
suited and she received several cuts,
none of which were serious.

FIREMEN DISCUSS DANGER
OF INJURIES AT MEETING
Citizens Asked Not to Crowd
About Fire House at Alarm

After discussing accidents and per-
sonal injuries at the last regular meet
ing of members of the Oakland Vol
unteer Fire Department an order was
issued to the firemen to cease, riding
the running boards of the nootc
the left running boards of the trucks
on account of the danger of receiving
personal injury.
The fire department is asking the
public to cease crowding the doors of
the fire house when an alarm is be-
ing answered, and citizens are also
asked to keep a safe distance from the
rear of the fire trucks when following
them in automobiles, as there is a
chance of some unforeseen happening
just ahead.
The speed of the trucks has been re-
duced to the minimum consistent
with service requirements and per-
sonal injury risks, and the depart
ment asks for consideration and CO.
operation, keeping in mind that the
members of the department donate
their services for the good of the COM
munity in general.
A report from Mountain Lake Park
states the installation of an
other fire plug and that the local de-
partment would receive fifty dollars
from that municipality in the near
future.
Chief Emroy Bolden reports that
two hundred feet of leader line and
two small nozzles have been purchased
and put into service, thus increasing
the efficiency of the equipment
When in need of the fire equipment
citizens are asked to call the telephone
operator, giving her the location of
the fire and explicit directions. A
great many calls have been sent to
the fire house, causing delay. Since
the telephone operator can operate the
alarm signal from her office, much
valuable time can be saved if the
above instructions are complied with.

Effects of Recent Snow Are Fast
Disappearing

The effects of the worst snowstorm
of the year, which brought approx
mately six inches of snow to Garrett
county over the weekend are fast dis
appearing beneath the rays of the
sun.
The snow was accompanied by a
high wind which made travel difficult
due to many drifts. The snowplows
of the State Roads Commission, how
ever, kept highways open to traffic.
Temperature remained slightly be-
low freezing.

SENATE in FIGHT OVER
GAS TAX DISTRIBUTION
County and Baltimore Senators
Clash Over City's Right to
Thirty Percent of Money
WAS APPROVED BY HOUSE

ANNAPOLIS, MD, March 80
The Senate early today re-
fused to concur in a House of
Delegates amendment to the
budget bill which would give to
Baltimore City a thirty percent
share of gasoline tax receipts.
The vote was II to 9 for nom
. concurrence. The Senate's de-
cision threw the bill into con-
ference.
ANNAPOLIS, March 20 Senator
David G. Mcintosh d., Baltimore
county,, tonight moved that the Sen
ate do not concur in House amend
ments to the budget bill granting the
city thirty percent share in gaso-
line tax receipts.
The Mcintosh motion was seconded
by member of county senators and
brought Senator Benjamin H. Nc
Kindless d., Baltimore City third
district), to his feet in defense of the
amendment.
In answer to a question raised
earlier in the day by Senator Nc
Intosh as to the constitutionality of
the increase, Senator McKindless de-
clared that there was no constitution
atty question involved.
"While it is true that the consti-
tuition says that the Legislature can
not increase budget appropriations,
this 80 percent item was originally
fixed by the governor, reduced in the
Senate Finence Committee, and later
restored by the House.
Half the population of the state,
the senator pointed out, is in the city
of Baltimore, contending that it was
not unreasonable in view of this to
ask that the, city get 30 percent of
the gasoline tax.
SIS there any other city in the
country that receives any share of
any state highway taxes?" Senator
William N. Andrews (Rep., Dorches-
teri, demanded
81 really couldn't answer that"
Senator McKindless responded. 81
haven't the faintest idea how many
cities there are in the United States.
Unfairness Charge
For the next half hour, Senators
McKindless and Andrews exchanged
views on the relative merits of county
and city support. Asserting the 1920
division which has been eXtant up to
the present time has never been a
fair one, Senator McKindless pointed
out that the House had voted 70-30
split.
"Those delegates represent the
same constituents that we do" Sena-
tor McKindless said.
When McKindless had concluded,
Senator E. Milton Altfeld Dem.,
Baltimore fourth), replaced him on
the floor.
eve need money!" Senator Altfeld
said during an impassioned address
on the question, "as well as do the
counties. The county tax rate has
been benefited by Governor Ritchie's
budget changes. What the city asks
now is only their just rights"
When Senator Altfeld sat down,
Senator Nelson Fl FookS (Dem
Caroline), chairman of the senate
committee on roads and highways,
took the floor to defend McIntosh's
motion.

Gone is the big army Of pitching

Only Faber and Grimes, at the sunset
of their illustrious careers, remain as
reminders of the good old days OF the
"talcum," "wax," shine" "licorice" and
emery" balls.
Nothing stirred base ball in its long,
bright and stormy history more than
the "spitball" and its contemporary
tricks with the old horsehide. AS the
pitchers "doped" the sphere and Allan

his unforgettable emery ball." great

Mighty Caseys, helpless and crest

old corner saloon until one day, in

trick pitching from base ball.
In ruling out the trick pitches, the
major leagues banned the emery"

Immediately. but permitted the clubs to
retain two "spitters" each. Those thus
named could use the "spitball'' during
the rest of their base ball careers.
AL others, including rockies coming
up from the minors, were barred from
using it in the plan to weed out the
