c. & D. WATERWAY
PROJECT APPROVED
House Committee Adopts Re-
port Recommending
$12, 100000

The first step to bring about the
widening and deepening of the Ches-
apeake and Delaware Canal to &C.
commodate vessels up to 25-foot
draft, was taken Thursday when the
Rivers and Harbors Committee OF
the House adopted the report of the
board of engineers for rivers and
harbors, recommending the improve
ment.
The board after hearing large
delegation representing shipping in
terests at Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York, recommended that
the width of the canal be increased
to $50 feet and the depth to II feet.
This, they held, would permit vessels
drawing 25 feet of water to navigate
the canal.
The cost of this work is estimated
at S12,5OO, 900, which has been ap-
proved by the Secretary of War, who
made recommendation to the PWA
for the ALLEGATION of funds to carry
out the program.
Action was delayed in approving
the recommendation of the Secre-
tary of War and the board of en-
gineers because all of the $780,
100000 PWA funl had been allo-
Gated. 1t is understood that the
canal project is on the preference
list of the PWA if, and when, Con-
gress appropriates additional funds.
Following the action of the COM
mittee, it was learned that Repre-
sentative Mansfield (Dem., Texas),
chairman of the committee, will in
troduce a rivers and harbors bill
calling for approximately $4,000
600 for waterway projects, and that
provisions would be made in this
total for the C. & D. Canal.

CONSERVATION
WEEK
Governor Designates Observ-
ance In Connection With
Arbor Day

The Honorable Albert G. Richie,
Governor of Maryland, has designat-
ed the week of April 9th as Conser-
walton Week to be observed in con-
nection with Arbor Day, Friday,
April 18th. 1t is very encouraging
indeed that the Governor of our
State should realize the necessity of
conservation by designating a full
week, which we hope will be observ-
ed throughout Maryland and that
the public will take interest in this
matter by establishing something of
benefit to our wildlife. There are
numbers of states that have estab-
lished over period of years what is
known as Bird Day" On this day
school children and members of or
ganized clubs, who have been in
structed in movements to establish
bird sanctuaries commemorate the
day with appropriate exercises and
programs.
The economic value OF, birds to the
agriculturist cannot be over-esti-
mated. Birds are natures most po-
tent check up, upon the undue in
crease of insect pests which cause an
annual loss to agriculture of more
than one billion dollars annually.
We appeal to the teachers of the
public schools of Maryland, request
ing that they put on a special pro-
gram for the week of April 9th and
try to instill in the minds of the pu-
pills the necessity of conservation,
especially of wildlife. Birds are not
only beneficial to our agriculturists
but furnish enjoyment to thousands
Of our residents by their presence
and with their song. We also re-
quest the public to build bird houses
and establish same for the benefit of
the birds this coming season which
are returning to our State at present
to establish their summer homes.
In building bird houses for the wren
and other small species, the hole of
entry should be very small to pro-
hibit larger birds from entering
therein.
To the agriculturists of Maryland,
we appeal by requesting that they
plant, during Conservation Week,
some berry-bearing trees or shrub
berry which will be beneficial to their
properties, thereby assuring bird
life cover and food In the future and
in addition, plant seed of early ma
turing varieties, especially clover,
sorghum, kaffir corn or other grains
and allow same to stand for cover
and food. The State Game Depart
ment of Maryland has established
game sanctuaries and refugees in
numerous sections of our State and
with the cooperation of the public,
beneficial results can be obtained
and conservation week is g. very
suitable period i, to show your inter-
est in conserving the wildlife of
Maryland,

State Game Warden of Md.

Mara glanced at her tiny jeweled
wrist watch. It was 5:45. She must
freshen up. Tony would be home some

the stairs and began to climb tiredly
like a woman twice her age. Maybe

Tony, Mara thought, studying him
through the warm glow of affection his
presence always set alight in her, was
the most deceptive person she had ever
known. A bundle of contradictions.
Physically, he was medieval. His body
had been fashioned for the carrying of
armor. His well modelled head for a
steel helmet. It was the head Of q
warrior. Cold gray eyes looking past
al aquiltne nose. High bronzed cheek
bones. A straight, grim mouth under
its clipped mustache. Civilization had
robbed him Of his armor but not of
horses. He rode as If raised in the
saddle, which, indeed, he had Teen
His polo handicap was 4.
He was just as medieval mentally,
she admitted ruefully, especially in his
conception Of the relations Of husband
