Seen by Earle on Survey

BALTIMORE, Sept. 4.-The
hurricane which recently lashed
the Eastern seaboard has brought
to an end one of the most pic.
turesque practices on Maryland's
Eastern Shore.
The storm apparently has
drowned all but three of the
hundreds of wild ponies which
inhabited Chincoteague Island,
sand spit lying in the Atlantic
Ocean, separated from the main.
land by SinepuXent and Chinco'
league Bay.
Swepson Earle, State conserva.
ton commissioner and an out
standing authority on Maryland
history, has Just completed a
survey of the island and reported
seeing but three ponies. Each
year roundup of the ponies has
been held and they have been
sold all over the world.
Molls Leg Island, in the lower
Chesapeake Bay, soon will be a
thing of the past. The high
waters washed all but about an
acre of it away and the erosion
of a few more years will wipe
it out.
That island. in the days when
oystermen shanghaied III el r
dredgers, and when their work
was over, was the place where
the captains put their dredgers
off in shallow water to avoid pay
ing wages. Some of the captains
were careless about taking sound
ings and many a man drowned
there. The island contained the
graves of hundreds of such men.

The Administration has set a
tentative objective of 100000

Considerable interest attached
to the impending discharge of

how many obtain other jobs.
Approximately this number of
new men will be drawn off the
