of our fresh-water trout.
Our rods and reels have been
overhauled, and our tackle has been
in order for a month ready for the
opening day-which means so much
to many, but less to the old-timer,
who knows the trout fishing will be
better in May. And this brings us to
the trout laws, which we must know,
and obey, If We wish to enjoy this
great sport"
Opening Dates.
Mr. Denmead said the trout season
opened in Maryland Easter Sunday,
April /. Pennsylvania, Virginia and
West Virginia all open their trout
season on April IS, aid, he said, it
would be better if Maryland opened
the same date for the sake Of uni
formity, which aids enforcement. The
speaker said he had recommended to
the Maryland Conservation Commis-
sion that the Maryland trout season
open with those of Virginia, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The Bureau of Fisheries, he said,
has urged the various State Fish
Commissions to adopt a part-time
non resident anglers license for a
period of from to z days, which is
now in effect in some form in 18
States. The reason for such license,
he said, is quite clear to the District
Of Columbia angler, who is forced to
pay a fee Of $3.50 in Maryland, and
SIS in Virginia and West Virginia, and
$3.50 in Pennsylvania, unless you
happen to be a resident of one Of
the three States mentioned. when it
will cost you the same as you pay in
your own State.
Bag Limits.
Mr.. Denmead then gave the size and
bag limits in the nearby States as
follows: Maryland, 10 trout of all
species; Virginia, 20 Of all species;
Pennsylvania, 20 of all species, and
West Virginia, 25 brook, Is rainbow
and 10 brown trout. but only Is in
the aggregate of all three species.
The size limit in Maryland is inches
on all trout; Virginia, inches on
brook and inches on rainbow trout;
West Virginia, inches on brook and
inches on brown and rainbow trout,
and Pennsylvania, he said, has single
size limit of inches on all trout.
And this brings us to another sub
ject," Mr.. Denmead said, 'of whether
under-size fish hooked and returned
to the water will live. My answer is
a positive yes-if properly handled
and carefully returned to the water.
or, better still, not lifted from the
water, but unlocked while in the
water. And do not grasp the fish
around the middle and squeeze it, that
will kill it, but put your thumb in its
mouth and hold it with the fore
finger while extracting the hook"

/. IN HOME BUILDING
Dwelling Construction Dur
ing First Eight Months of
1884 Nearly Equal 1893.
Continued From First Page }

The last total included 5l4 one-family
houses valued at $3,141 $50, and II
multi-family buildings for Sc fam
lilies valued at $i30,700. The valua-
ton for eight months of 1884 was
within s23, 900 Of last years total.
However, improvement in the resi-
Dental construction field Is made
even more impressive by the fact
that Of last years total $1,132, ,450
came within the last four months.
In that one-third year 178 new houses
were erected.
It is anticipated by the Real Estate
Board that the remainder of the
year will see an even greater in
creased activity In home building as
plans of the Federal Housing Admin
istration to make mortgage money
easier for the prospective builder to
obtain begin to materialize. 1t Is be-
looSening up of credit on the part
Of financial institutions when that
phase of the Government housing
program is launched.
Spring Saw Building.
The statistics compiled by the Real
Estate Board reveal home building
started the present trek back to bet
ter times in the Spring of this year.
January figures show IS residences
were built in comparison to IS in the
same month of 1888. While in March
A new homes went up in the city,
against Is for March OF last year.
April showed an even greater improve
ment, when 78 homes were built, COM
pared with a last year.
In August, residential construction
totaled 73, about 80 more than in the
same period of last year. 1t seems
probable at the present rate of build
ing. Rush said, that September will
show an even greater improvement.
Though exact figures were not avail
able for this type of activity, Rush
stated, a far greater number of re-
pair, home improvement and addition
permits have been issued this year
than in the previous u months. He
said the 1884 renovize activities would
show an even greater improvement
than the new building field.
comparison of figures for the Dis
trict with those released by the Bu-
reau Of Labor Statistics for the entire
country shows Washington has taken
far longer steps toward recovery of its
building business than the States.
Some sections of the country have
shown small improvement over 1888,
while In others there has been actual
ly less building than last year. The
board stated this is due to the proven
ability OF Washington real estate val
ues to weather the depression, as well
as to the. centering here of emergency
Government activities.

WORK PROGRESSES

Completion of the foundation for

home for the average American family
of five, being built at Park avenue and
Thirty-ninth street, New York City,
by the New York Committee of Bet
ter Homes in America, Inc, gives
promise that the structure will be
ready for inspection some time In
October.
Progress of the work on this build
ing has attracted wide interest, for
the plans have been described as Of
fering one solution to the problem of
giving the family of moderate means
a roomy, comfortable home, effecting
economy without sacrificing beauty or
labor-saving devices. Estimates have
been received from builders In the sub
urban area about New York showing
that the house may be duplicated at
from $500 to $500.
Not Too Little.
Although called the Little House"
probably because Of its comparatively
low cost, 1t will appear to many as
quite q roomy residence. Georgian In
style Of architecture, 1t was designed
by Roger II. Bullard, gold-medal win
ner in the Better Homes small-house
competition for 1888, and Clifford
Wendehack, associated with the
building of the first Better Homes
demonstration house in Washington,
d. c., in 1928, to suit the needs of a
mother who does her own work. It
will contain the essentials for happy
living and few of the luxuries pos
sible to the average family with
modest income-a scientific kitchen,
a modern nursery, complete laundry
equipment and labor-saving devices,
together with the best value in build
ing materials.
Inclusion of the most up-to-date
conveniences in a low-cost home was
made possible through the economy
effected by the use Of lumber as the
principal material of construction.
We began by planning for our house
to contain nine rooms and to be built
OF 8-inch brick with a slate roof"
stated Mr.. Bullard. There would be
living room and dining room, q
kitchen, utility room, ample stairway
and hall on the first floor, and three
bed rooms, including the nursery,
with two baths, on the second floor.
But the cost was over our budget. We
had to sit down Immediately and re-
wise some of our ideas.

Notes

Warren e. Krechting. just appointed
by Weaver Bros. to manage modern-
lied Stoneleigh Courts Apartments,
has enjoyed long and interesting
career In the hotel and apartment
business. He first entered the line in
1899 at the old Hotel of Manhattan,
New York. Previously, he served three
years in an Amsterdam, N. Y, bank.
Krechting remained at the Manhattan
16 years as treasurer and manager.
Later he took over large remodeled
apartment in Gotham.
When the United States entered the
World War, Krechting was employed
by the A. T. & T. to care for the feed
ing and housing of 1,500 emergency
telephone operators in Washington.
For this purpose the Government took
over the building at Fifteenth and M
streets that is now the Colonial Hotel.
