Montgomery Streams
Get Legal Size Trout

Mill Greek and Paint Branch in
Montgomery County are among
the Maryland streams which will
receive a stock of legal size trout
before the fishing season opens
April 1, it was announced in Balti-
more yesterday.
The State Game and Inland Fish
Commission said approximately
10000 trout would be distributed
from five hatcheries, the Associ-
ated Press reported.
Albert M. Powell, superintendent
of the hatcheries, said nearly 3d.
900 trout will be in Maryland
streams during the open season,
which ends June 80.
The trout for the two nearby
counties will come from 10000 to
be taken from the Lewistown,

are two years old, ranging in size
from IL to 16 inches, it was said.

Household Insecticides
To Be Brought Under
Provisions OF State Law

Because "roach" powders, which
are usually deadly poisons, can be
so easily mistaken for yeast pow
der, flour, sugar, meal and other
supplies used in cooking and bak-
ing = all of which are white pow
ders a movement is under way
to require all compounds used as
household insecticides to be colored
Nile blue. Preliminary steps to-
ward the extension of the State
Poison Law to include such COM
pounds under it's restrictive provi-
sions have also been taken.
Several caess of poisoning at
tributed to this cause have occur
red in Maryland and in other
states. Nationwide attention has
been focused recently on the in
herent danger from this source
through the experience reported
from Pittsburgh in January, in
which from IL to IA deaths and 40
cases of severe poisoning were at
tributed to the accidental substitu-
ton of powdered insecticide for
flour, used for hot cakes, at shell
ter for homeless men.
The movement to require the
coloring of such compounds sold in
Maryland is sponsored by the Blu
reau of Foods and Drugs of the
State Department of Health in CO.
operation with the Maryland State
Board of Pharmacy.
For the further protection of the
public against the hazards involved
in the use of the poisonous chemi-
Gals that form the basis of house
hold insecticides, the Board of
Pharmacy has notified manufactur-
ers and distributors of such sub
stances, that these chemicals shall
be subject to the restrictions i'm
posed under the State Poison Law,
governing the manufacture and
sale of other poisons.

Dangerous Champ

Then, when his defenses were per-
fected, he started to work on offen-
sive strategy. The rest is ring his
tory. Always a dangerous, hard
hitting fighter, Tunney was truly
self-made champion. He did it the
hard way, and because of that was
the master Of almost any ring situa-
ton.
We stated a short time ago that
Louis has the ability to whip much
better men than he has met in the
past. That still doesn't say too
much for the champ. In his last
few starts he has won easily enough,
but he didn't show his old fine form
in cancelling Messrs. Mccoy, Bur-
man and Dorazio. II wasn't SO long
ago that sports writer's were author
ing sanguine epistles concerning
Joe's savage, killer instincts. They
haven't been mentioned . during
recent months.
The old incentive is gone. Though
Joe doesn't spend all his time eating
fried chicken, he is smart enough
to know that he doesn't have to
keep razor sharp to blast nine-tenths
Of his opposition. Remember those
IA title defenses. Those bouts called
