The House unanimously passed
today the crawfish bill introduced
by Representative William v. AL
bury in it's amended form, news
dispatches received by The Citi-
zen from Tallahassee state. AS
explained by Mr.. Albury in an in
terview with The Citizen while
he was on a visit last week, this
measure is in every way similar
to the former crawfish law except
that it makes the closed season
one month longer and forbids the
taking of crawfish at any time
which weigh less than one pound.
The closed season on crawfish
is now from March 20 until June
20. Under the Albury bill the
season extends from March 81 to
July 81, thus making the period
four months instead of three.

greatest defensive and offensive
assets of the army.
OF course, producing tanks is a
specialized job. But the essential
unit, the dependable motor, can
be tursed out in quantity produc-
ton. The new defense appropria-
ton calls for building l64 medium
tanks with inch-and-a-half armor,
at cost of $4,000 each. An equal
number of light tanks also has
been authorized at a price of ST.
500. Additional tanks may be
purchased.
OF equal Importance with the
supply is the dependability. Dur
ing the World War the chances
of an automobile getting from
one place to another over rough
terrain was only moderately good.
Part of the fault was in the ma
chine and part in the inexperi-
enced driver. Nowadays a mo-
tor failure is an exception and
speed has been more than dou-
bic. Performance is almost per-
feet. The number of men of
military age who know how to
operate and repair automobiles is
almost without limit. For the
three trucks brought for Per-
shing's expeditionary force in
1916, the army had to send back
to the factory for drivers. There
lis no need now to spend millions
creating reserve force Of pilots
for trucks.
AS a wartime asset the capa-
city to produce both automobiles
and drivers is of incalculable inn
portance.
