Hunters Asked To Be Careful

There are thirty-two CCC camps
located in Maryland, several of which
are in Garrett county, and an appeal
is being made by E. Lee LeCompte,
State Game Warden, for hunters to
be careful when cunning.
Hunters are asked not to shoot to-
ward a CCC camp or in the vicinity
or where men may be working. They
are also being asked to be careful and
assist the State Department in pre-
venting the "red menace" from de-
stroying forest areas. Fires arise from
dropping matches, emptying pipes or
throwing lighted cigars or cigarets on
the ground.

the Democratic ticket OF the Ameri-
can Commonwealth division. asked
for five minutes to explain her stand
in an effort to still rumors being Cir
culated by the women that she Is
Red" Briefly and to the point, she
spoke, and believed from the applause
that she had put across her point.
However, she soon learned that a
number of the women had phoned
the chairman later, demanding by
what right she permitted a Red TO
speak before their group.
My informant blames this condition
on false propaganda spread by a
morning newspaper. Whenever
there is lull in front-page news We
are greeted by the sudden discoveries
Of astounding perilS lurking on our
Western shores. The women claim
that they pay no attention to such
nonsense. and yet they actually get
up ir meeting and quote from the
very stuff they have Scorned. 1t has
reached a point where pacifists are
labeled Reds here. And even churches
have been warned to soft-pedal their
peace activities"
A MOTHER prominent advocate OF
- the peace movement explained
that when she is invited to speak be-
fore a group of women she always
mixes her talk with a little cooking
and gardening to make sure it will
arouse suspicious. You find much
bitterness among the thinking women
who point out that those movements
which women of the East take for
granted as part of changing conditions
they can never participate in without
fearing trouble.
Unfortunately, the man Of the street,
understanding the discomfort and I'M
patience Of the Seattle women, is will
ing to give her homage, and will help
her acquire some prominence, for he
feels it helps the gentility Of the city.
But when she finally succeeds ne
wants her to be just puppet. Her
rightful place is to keep Seattle
home and churchgoing city, for here
the men have the old evangelistic idea
that the women should carry on the
religion for the family. She has also
contributed much to the cultural in
tereSt of the city through the Seattle
Fine Arts Society and the Ladies
Musical Society. The Cornish School
of Dramatic Arts is one of the finest
in the country. Her latest acquisition
has been a new museum. presented by
Mrs. Fuller and her son, which con-
tains some of the greatest Oriental
art treasures of the world.
Somehow being on the other side OF
the Rocky Mountains gives to the
women of Seattle an indifference as to
what the rest of the world thinks OF
them. They feel they are building a
world of their own and regard their
city as their personal business.
You must take Seattle or leave it
and let me tell you that a glimpse of
Mount Rainier, scent of Puget Sound,
the real Western glad hand, mixed
with a breakfast of the good house
| frau's pancakes covered with luscious
lingon berries and whipped cream, and
you will always be happy to take it.
