sor and general manager, il now op-
Grating at full time.
This new enterprise is to provide
industrial opportunity, civic train

vileges to those persons who have not
been provided for by other agencies,
according to statement by the gem
eral manager.
According to Rev. Frost. coop
erative group headed by Ray e. Bel
lonby, president Of one of the local
furniture houses, met some time ago
to discuss the unemployment situa-
tion and its relations to petty crime
among colored residents Of the city.
After much deliberation, this group
decided that possible remedy for
this situation was to provide means
BY which Negroes might earn a prof.
table living. Since they would earn
more at skilled labor than at unskil
led, the idea Of an Industrial school
along the lines of the Good Will In
dustries was born.
The success of such an organiza-
ton depends entirely upon the sup
port OF the general public. Old arti-
cles of any kind are wanted and
needed by the Industries. Salable
clothing, old furniture, old shoes and
other articles will be received as do
nations and after being repaired and
renovated, they will be placed on sale
at prices far below the usual costs.
To further the interest in the In
dustries. regular broadcast will be
heard every Sunday night over VIC
PO from $50 to 10 pm, with a
specially arranged musical program.
This will also be an outlet for some
of the latest talent among the young
people of the city. Listeners in who
hear this program are asked to write,
wire or phone station WCP0 and
speak word of appreciation of it.
Any person who would like to make
donations Of any kind to the Negro
Educational Industries are asked to
phone Cherry 2572 and driver will
be sent for it.

zation.

they are justified in continuing their
present catches Of as much as 1000

The last session of the Maryland
Legislature appropriated $4,000 for
two years to make study of rockflsh
in the bay. The Maryland Conserva-
ton Department and the United
States Bureau of Fisheries now are
hard at work on this survey.
THE fact that large numbers of this
= species are caught in the nets
each Winter in the bay and its tribu-
taries stamps them as local in habi-
tat and not migratory. We do not
advocate that rockfish be classed with
game fish, such as the black bass and
trout, but we do think some restric-
ton ought to be placed on the num-
ber taken each day by the commercial
fishermen.
For a number of years rockfish were
conspicuous by their absence. A re-
markable recovery was noticed last
year In this species Hundreds of
thousands of small rock were seen in
many sections of the bay and thou
sands of the smaller ones were landed
by anglers. Last season the waters
off Solomons Island were fairly alive
with small rock, many unfortunately
falling victims to the blues.
The report of the survey now being
made and the action of the Maryland

No Drought This Year

THE weather sharps have figured out
that the great drought of 1880
and the subsequent grass-burning ef-

this sector came from a series Of mild
Winters, when little snow fell and the
snow that did fall did not lay long on
the fairways.
That being the case. the golf courses
around Washington should be in the
pink of shape next Summer if the in
verse Of the 1880 condition holds good
And it does hold good in so far as the
golf courses are concerned, for there

than frequent thaws and freezes and

His ruddy face lights up with a smile
as he looks out over snow -blanketed

''But that snow will help us lot when
July comes. You see, it goes down
deep into the subsoil and furnishes a
deep reserve of dampness and mois-
ture, which will remain through the
Summer. We aren't going to have
