ton. The first has come to the
attention of social clubs through
numerous small thefts, depreda-
tons. vandalism, breakage of
street lights, gambling and other
youth practices. The second is
noted chiefly in undernourished
faces one meets among this class,
and, from Aid project reports. the
habits range from eating on the
bare floor to gross unsanitary
conditions.
The aim of the Aid project is
to raise the standard of living
throughout the country. The Key
West project was begun March 20
with a months instruction and
then immediate operation. Thus
far IS cases have been referred
10 the Project and ll8 persons
have been served. OF the re-
quests for aid most come from
the fact that the houSekeeper is
ILL., Either the husband becomes
III and the housekeeper finds the
job Of looking after him too great.
or the wife Is an invalid. unable
to do homework. and the hus-
band has been doing both house
work and making a living. A
strong need for service among
the eoIored folk has been found
but thus far there has not been

Among colorcd folk II is mostly

usually require aid.

State To Distribute No Rabbits
During Current Year

Word has been received from State
Game Warden E. Lee LeCompte that
it is financially impossible for the
State to purchase any rabbits to lib
crate in the covers Of the State this
year.
Last year the State Game Depart
ment had to borrow $4,000 from the
hunters license receipts of 1887 and
this year the State Game Department
will have $11,243 less to operate on
than last year.
Last February the State liberated
1880 cotton-tail rabbits in Maryland.
1t is believed that with the short
hunting season last year there will be
sufficient brood stock left from these
habits to provide good hunting next
fall.
However, several of the sportsmen
clubs in Western Maryland have al
ready taken it upon themselves to pur-
chase rabbits.
Mr.. LeCompte hopes to plant 10000
bob-white quail in the State from the
two bob-white farms at Gwynnbrook
and Wicomico; also 300 wild turkeys
and there are $500 ring-neck and mu-
tant pheasants for distribution next
spring
