suit many hundreds have been
tempted to scatter the fringes of
their blinds with food in order to
attract more game.
The sleuths of the Fish and Wild
Life Service, now busy with pa
trolling almost every foot OF the
Chesapeake Bay tributaries, have
detected scores of instances OF
this kind So far, however, no
batter has been caught red-handed
and the government has been con-
tent to post big, pink card warn
ing baiters that they are liable to
fine and Imprisonment.
These warnings are given, first
because the Fish and Wild Life
Service considers it better to use
diplomacy than heavy-handed pros
ecution; second because it is diff
cult to catch the baiters actually
in the act of sprinkling the duck
food.
Chesapeake Bay tributaries are
now patrolled by total of nine

about 5000 miles a season in cruis-

Washington, D. c., Nov. 5. -
Glenn Martin, wealthy Maryland
airplane manufacturer, has tangled
with the law over the question of
batting blinds on the Eastern Shore
Agents of the U. S. Fish and
Wild Life Service recently con-
fronted Mr. Martin with undeniable
evidence that his blinds on the
Chester River had been baited.
The airplane manufacturer was
given a stern warning that if this
practice did not stop, the Federal
Government would paddock his
blinds.
Martin replied that he was so
busy that he had little time for
hunting these days and that the
batting must have been done by
some of his friends who were per-
mitted to use the blinds. Martin
called in his superintendent, Jack
ToWson, reprimanded him and
warned that he would be held re-
spOnsible in the future.
The Martin incident is now con-
sidered closed. However, a total

fore Christmas is expected to find
all the stores jammed. The curtain
goes down at 6 o'clock Christmas
Eve.
In past years buyers were prone
to question prices. This year, it
is different because they know
that the day Of "cut-rate" prices
has gone by the boards. Reason
for this is the scarcity of many
articles due to priority ratings for
defense needs. Merchants, how
ever, have not taken advantage of
this situation by marking up their
prices, and all in all, the price tags
are reasonable.
Statistics show that 1929 was
the record year, but these figures
were far exceeded last week, ac-
cording to government reports;
1941 will, without question, set
new high in merchandise sold in
this country. Buyers are demand

The Spirit of Xmas has no

But one thing appears. certain:
There will be a lot of jockeying
and many conferences before the
candidates are selected for this

as they are handed to me by
men who are sincerely conscien-

"Governor O'Conor is sure

election. The fact that he was
