FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
CRABS TO BE TAGGED
TO LEARN WANDERINGS

Following the announcement OF
plan to tag crabs with type of mark
er which they will not shed or wear off
st. Michaels and Bay Hundred crabbers
were unanimous in expressing their ap
prevail of the experiment. 1t will de-
finitely settle the question as to wheth-
err a crab actually travels as much as
two hundred miles during the winter
or not. and as to whether the continued
dredging activities in the vicinity OF
Norfolk are responsible for our crab
shortage here.
st. Michaels, considered one Of the
grabbing industry centers has been
chosen as one of four places in the
state where crabs will be tagged and
work has already been started along
that line.
Briefly, the plan is as follows: A
small incision is made in the she'll of
an adult crab, and red tag quarter
inch wide and one and a quarter in
ches long is inserted in the gill cham
Der where it will not bother the crab
nor hamper it's movement.
The tag bears number and the no
tation: animals tagged to determine
it's migration. Your help in these stud
les will be appreciated. Please return
to Chesapeake biological laboratories.
The tag being brilliant red will be
readily noticeable to crab pickers, and
conservation authorities are hopeful
that at least twenty per cent of the
tags will be returned with note with
each telling where it was caught and
when.
Only mature crabs will be used.
Younger crabs, if tagged, throw off
the tag when they shed their shells
later in the season.
Former efforts at crab-tagging were
unsuccessful because the tags were
affixed to the outside of the crabs
shell, and were torn or bitten off.

DROWNED MAN WAS
a. NOT AS IDENTIFIED

The body of drowned man found
at Cape Charles July 4th and buried
in a cemetery there ten days later
was positively identified Thursday as
that of William Elmore Boston, aged
81, photographer, of Charlottesville,
Va. Identification was made by the
mans divorced wife, Mrs. Rosa Harri-
son, of Hopewell.
However, on Monday the police were
advised by brother of Mr.. Boston
that the identification was an error &
that the supposed dead man was alive,
well, and engaged in his profession
in the city of Roanoke, Va.
Widespread publicity had been given
the fact that the body of them man had
been found here by fishermen, notices
appearing in numerous daily papers of
the State. Complete descriptions were
published and several weeks ago Mrs.
Harrison communicated with local
police authorities. Correspondence con-
tinued until arrangements were COM
pleted for disinterment of the body for
identification purposes and on last
Thursday Mrs. Harrison reached Cape
Charles.
Following her Identification a ply
sician's certificate of death was pre-
pared indicating that Boston had COM
mitted suicide by jumping from one of
the Bay steamers, and the body was
re-interred in the local cemetery.

Colbert Back
At Met

Claudette Colbert's new Colum,
bia picture, "She Married Her
Boss" will supplant the current
attraction, Little Big Shot," at
the Metropolitan Theater start
ing today.
"She Married Her Boss" which
concluded a popular week at the
Earle, is a light but dramatic
comedy drama of a young buSi-
ness girl who goes on a kissless
honeymoon with her employer,
whom she married. Her married
life is anything but a bed Of
roses as a result of the opposi-
ton Claudette receives from her
sisterin-law and the daughter Of
her husband by a previous mar
riage.
Melvyn Douglas portrays the
role of the husband who nearly
loses Claudette as result of too
staid application to his Stuffy
office, while Michael Bartlett,
who was leading singing-man for
Grace Moore in Love Me For
ever" is the singing-villain in the
Colbert opus. The role of the
daughter is played by Edith Eel
lows who, many believe, gives one
of the distinctive performances
of the picture.

then of course, everything out
here is unbelievable, so just skip
it. In six months, when Jackie
Coogan reaches his majority, or
twenty-one, to be exact, and gets
his own money and his very own
hands upon it, he has confided
to his friends that he intends to
live in a big way for the first
time in his life. Heretofore. he's
been under strict parental super.
vision avec a mamma and papa
who had complete control Of his
every movement. The outcome
should be no end amusing. By
the by, Mrs. Coogan and Mrs.
Frank Borzage, in the dim past,
composed a sister team in small
time vaudeville. Not so long ago,
while both riding in their respec-
tive Rolls, their chauffeurs col
lided and both ladies looking out
of their respective windows at the
same time. gave their respective
cars the once over and then each
other and both said at the same
moment: Not bad for q sister
team"
Not so many years ago Grace
Moore, whose career has been
promising enough to lead her
from musical comedy to concert
to grand opera and then to the
movies, completely lost her sing
ing voice. Undaunted by this
very distressing fact, she kept on
practicing with a singing teacher
a few hours each week and when
her voice finally came back it was
of better quality than it had been
before. BY the same token,
speaking of voices, the Pathe
trademark (Which IS rooster
crowing) is actually a motion pic
ture of the rooster, but the crow
ing was done by man whose vo-
cation lies in giving bird imita-
tions. They shot the real Mccoy
rooster at sun-up, at sun-down,
and every other time during the
day but it would not crow for
the Sound-track-hence the sub

knowledge of seven languages to
