SHELL PLANTING PROGRAM
TO START MAY FIRST

The oyster shell planting program
in the lower Chesapeake Bay region
will get underway about May LIST, &C
cording to an announcement by Harry
Willar, Jr., Deputy WPA Administra-
tor for the State of Maryland, and
approximately two hundred thousand
bushels of shell will be planted in
Somerset county waters under the
present plans.
This program has been advocated
for months by leading citizens of the
State, as a means of rehabilitating
the barren bottoms in the Chesapeake
bay area.
Both Senator Tydings and Senator
Radcliffe, as well as Congressman
Goldsborough, lent their support to
the proposition and succeeded in hav-
ing the program adopted by the
WPA.
In addition to the shell planting
which is cooperative project between
the Conservation Commission of
Maryland and the Works Progress
Administration, the Conservation
Commission will next week start to
replant several hundred thousand bush
els of seed oysters from the upper
Bay section to rocks and bars in var
ious sections of the State.
Crisfield stands to gain enormous
ly in Importance as an oyster produc-
ing and shipping center from this
she'll planting and seed oyster planting
program. 1t will mean that within
few years Somerset county will be
able to produce a large portion of the
oysters shocked here, and there are
no finer favored oysters anywhere,
and it would seem that the packers
can sell these oysters at reasonable
price all during the season, and thus
help maintain prices at a level that
will encourage the oyster consuming
public to use more and more oysters.
Shells that were planted late last
year in Crisfield waters had wonder
full "strike", and the young "spat''
have made rapid growth. What has
happened to them is an encouraging
example of how the oyster business
can be built up within short distance
of Crisfield, Paramount, Mt.Vernon
Deals Island and Smiths Island, so
that the oyster catchers can work
close to home and market their catch
daily.
This in turn would mean that new
boats would be built and many Of the
young people of the shore communi-
ties would again turn to the water as
a means of livelihood, where more
money could be made and greater
freedom enjoyed than in any other
line of business they could engage in

BOY DIES OF INJURIES
IN MOTOR CRASH

Oliver Fleming, 10 years old, OF

when truck in which he was riding
collided with a concrete abutment on
the Seaford- Laurel Highway one mile

of the boy, suffered possibly internal
injuries and decorations of the head
and face, and Everett Phillips, 20
years old, of Winter Garden, Fla,

Thumb Ball." Name for
the Earliest Thimbles

The use of thimbles dates from
time immemorial. The very early ones
were probably hollowed-out bones, but
they were soon followed by thimbles of
iron and brass, and several Of these
have been found in the excavations of
Rome.
In England the needlewomen of
Anglo-SaxOn times wore them on the
thumb, which then exerted the pres
sure on the needle instead Of the In
dex finger. They called them thumb
balls" from which we get the name
thimble.
The first silver thimbles of which we
have any record, says writer in the
Montreal Herald, were used by the
ladies of the French court during the
Fifteenth century. The fashion soon
spread to England, and all through
the reigns of the Tudors period
which has often been called the golden
age" Of needlework, the ladies Wed
with each other in the beauty and ele-
gance of their thimbles.
Exquisite specimens of finest gold
richly chased and embossed, and set
with precious stones, flashed on dainty
fingers as the fair needlewoman sewed
together at their pieces of tapestry
and delicate embroidery, while ivory
thimbles with grooyed rings on the
outside, were found specially suitable
for use with the gold and silver center
Of their designs.

Bittern Roars Like Lion
When He Is Making Love

When the bittern, which is small
heron, goes counting, it lets all the
world know it. The cry Of this wad-
ing bird is described as sounding some
what like the roar of lion and under
favorable circumstances can be heard
at a distance as great as a mile.
The counting season of the bittern
Is in the early spring, when the love-
call of the male bird Is heard as
loud, deep boom. The male selects a
small open space in swampy ground,
in bed of reeds or on nearby fiat
ground. He approaches the object OF
his affections with lowered neck and
partly spread wings. All his feathers
are pulled out, and in this position he
circles round her, doing his best to
show that he is very handsome and
important bird. But it often hap
pens that another male bittern ap-
proaches and this means fight. The
long, sharp beaks of the love rival APP
pear to be formidable weapons as they
circle round and round. Little damage
is done, however, for as one bird
strikes at the other, the defender
opens his long wings and brings them
forward in front of his breast in the
form of a shield.

DUPONT Powder

The first Du Pont powder factory
was started in this country. The Du
Pont family had been prominent in
philosophical and radical circles which
had prepared the way for the French
revolution and barely escaped death
when the Extremists prevailed. Among
the early friends of the family in the
United States was Thomas Jefferson.
He wrote the young powder manufac-
turer as follows: 1T is with great
pleasure l inform you that it is con-
cluded to be for the public interest
to apply to your establishment for
whatever can be had from that for
the use either of the naval or mill
tary department. The present is for
your private information; you will
know it officially by application from
those departments whenever their
wants may call for them. Accept my
friendly salutations and assurances Of
esteem and respect. (Signed) Thomas

Irish Elk

Thousands of years ago there roamed
through our forests a great beast
known as the gigantic deer, or Irish
elk, says London Tit-Bits Magazine.
This magnificent creature stood at
least six feet high at the shoulder,
while on the head of the male was a
pair of wonderful horns. 1t was
hunted by ancient Britons with their
flint-headed arrows and stone axes.
Its last stronghold was Ireland when
that country was separated from Eng
land at the close of the Pleistocene
period, and here, with few enemies,
1t thrived for hundreds of years.
