 Buck Mentor put down his pen. No anger showed in his face, put his eyes were touched with sad- ness. .,

 Buck waited, and Bill knew he was being given a chance to ex- plain. But there was nothing he could say--not without admitting to Buck his real reason for taking Dot to the dance.
 Buck Mentor shrugged. "Okay, Bill, you don't have to tell me, He folded the letter and placed 1t in an envelope. T want this to 20 out in the morning, Bill"
 Bills eyes pleaded mutely, put Buck avoided them.
 He said, "You can forget all that nonsense about coaching West Somehow, Bill, I've lost your con- fidence. I think this letter will put me in a position to regain it."

COURT RECORDER
 MAY BE SELECTED

City court officials are consider ing the use of an official stenogra- pher in important civil cases which might be appealed. Under a new ruling, all appeals in civil cases must go from the city court to the supreme court of errors, thus mak- ing the services of a stenographer almost essential.
 The new atache to the court staff would be paid from the funds of teh court. Consideration is being given to setting aside certain days of the month when the services of the new recorder would be made available.

CHAPTER VI

Characteristically, Julius Peskir kept Bill late the night of the dance. Hurrying to get ready, he had no chance to see the evening Clarion, He was in the bedroom knotting his tie when Buck wheeled to the doorway.
 "Heard the news, Bill?"
 Crouched before the mirror, Bil shook his head.
 "Landis has been fired"
 Say that again, Buck" Bill gasped.
 "The man who takes his place has a rough road ahead. Two games left and less than a week to get ready for the first one!"
 Could you do it, Buck?"
 With luck, fellow"
 Bill caught his fathers shoul- ders in an iron grip. "You're go- ing to get teh chance. Buck. Don't you see? Now we can really fight We don't have to worry about talk ing somebody's job. Every fellow on the squad will put up a how. for you"
 Buck looked doubtful. T don't know !.
 Bill said impulsively, And when see Dot"
 'Dot?"
 Dot Skeyton. I'm taking hel to the dance.'
 "Wha-at?" It was teh first time Bill had ever heard his father roar. You're not taking HelenP"
 Don't be sore, Buck Bill pleaded. "A fellow doesn't want to tie himself up to one girl, does he?"
 Buck drowned. Bill, you cant treat nice girl like Helen"
 His ears flaming, Bill dashed fol the door,
 Dot swept down to meet Bill in a clinging black dress. She pirouetted for his approval, her auburn hair glinting.
 'cNew dress, Bill Like it?"
 "It's pretty" Bill said morosely thinking of another new dress.

Germony's Colonies Are Rich Wor Prize
AAAAAaA~A1AAAs .

CTATUS of Germany's pre- O World War colonies, totaling more than a million square miles, depends upon the outcome of Eu- ropes present conflict. Most of the territory is in Africa, but Hit Ter may attempt to regain control of numerous Pacific islands. There were no German colonies in the Americas.
 Belgium's surrender may cost the rich Ruanda-Urundi section, formerly German East Africa, and control of the natives pictured on the stamp above, under Belgian rule since the 1919 peace treaty. Britain received the greatest share of German African possessions, but France and Portugal also in- creased African holdings under the Versailles pact. Japan and British dominions shared Pacific holdings.
 Many of Germany's pre-World War colonies issued stamps; oth- CTS used overprints of German issues. During the war, occupa- ton stamps were introduced, and when the colonies were included in allied possessions, they adopted stamps of those territories, or cre- 'ted new issues.

 Like its predecessor, Bad Man of Birthstone" its action and com- edy are played against scenery of breathtaking beauty.
 Beery plays Reb Hardness, re- formed train robber who assumes protection of Ann Rutherford and little BobS Watson, whose father has been killed by Cattle raiders. In doing so he becames the leader of the forces of law and order in a primitive wilderness, helps General Custer ia his Indian fighting and breaks up band of desperadoes headed by Joseph Calleia.

which the eggs are deposited, the
young terrapin hatch and dig their
way to the surface, at which time it
is middle or late August. In some
cases the young do not leave the sub
terranean nest, but hibernate and dig
their way out when the earth warns
up the following April.
When terrapin hatch they are about
one and one-fourth inches long and
their shell is comparatively soft. Dur
ing the period Immediately following
their emergence and while working
their way to near body of water
they are eaten by number of enc
mics. Large wading birds and ducks
consume them, while rats are notori-
GUS destroyers of both eggs and young
terrapin. Crows also are able to To-
cate the eggs by the fresh appearance
of excavated earth at the nests, and
whole clutches of eggs are destroyed
by them. In addition, crows destroy
the young terrapin.
By taking terrapin eggs from COM
mercial pens where they otherwise, in
large measure, would go to waste,
and holding them in hatchery beds or
artificial pens, it is possible to rear

them to one year Of age virtually
without mortality and at little ex-
pense for food and care, according to
DR.. R. V. Truitt, director of the Lab
oratory, under whose direction the
hatchery work is carried on. Current
terrapin paintings are announced as
follows: Somerset County, 600; Wi
comico County, 300; Dorchester Coun-
ty, $50; St. Mary's County, 200;
Charles County, 200; Calvert County,
900; Anne Arundel County, 300; Tai
bot County, 300; Queen Anne County,
300; Kent County, 300; Worcester
County, 400.
Since these terrapin are only one
year old and have been trengthened
and matured by feeding and by sun
shine they are able to fend for them
selves with a greatly reduced natural
mortality, according to the Labora-
tory authorities. In certain areas Of
the Bay, North Carolina terrapin
stock is frowned down upon by the
terrapin fishermen as we'll as by con-
noisseurs. Assurances were obtained
by the Conservation Department that
the supply received from the North
Carolina hatchery of the Fisheries
Bureau were grown from Chesapeake
stock rather than from their cousins
of a slightly different species COM
mon to the region below Cape Hat
teras.

Dear Sir:
Attached hereto is an article on
diamondback terrapin culture and the
distribution of one year old stock to
the marshes and covers of Maryland,
for release to the county press for
use on July 81 or thereafter. If you
have the space and care to carry this
article for the general human interest
and for the sake of conservation in
your county, we should be very
pleased to have you use any or all of
it. We should like to request, in it's
use, that the name of the Holland
Seafood Company, Crisfield, Mary
land, be mentioned especially in its
present setting, since it was through
the kindness of this organization that
it was possible for us to secure the
eggs for hatchery work.
Very truly yours,
G.. Francis Beaver
Resident Manager
Maryland's reputation as a produc-
er of the most choice reptilian food is
not to be lost in light of recent de-
velopments, since, during the current
week, three thousand young diamond
back terrapin are being distributed
to the various tide water counties by
the Conservation Department. The
terrapin are one year of age and have
been Matched and grown under Laba-
tory conditions at the Chesapeake
Biological Laboratory, Solomons
Island. The supply produced at the
Laboratory has been increased by
contribution of 1000 young terrapin
from the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries.
1t has been possible for the State to
produce the stock for the rehabilita-
ton of tide water creeks and marshes
by securing eggs from the Holland
Seafood Company's terrapin pens at
Crisfield, Maryland, through whose
cooperation success was achieved.
Diamondback Terrapin lay their
eggs during early June, usually pro-
ducing from seven to twelve in
clutch. The mother terrapin excavates
hole in the sand some five or six
inches deep into which she deposits
the eggs and then covers them over
with dirt. In about seven or eight
weeks, depending upon temperature
and moisture conditions of the soil in
