trying to win the War and if these
items which would naturally be
thrown away can be of service, then
it does seem that all should cooper
ate by saving the shotgun shells,
rifle cartridges, down feathers of
wild waterfowl, and fats from game
animals including deer, rabbits, rae
coons, squirrels, and opossums and
turn over to the District Deputy Game
Warden of the County or the county
i'm which they hunt, or, if forwarded
to the office of State Game and In
land Fish Commission in Baltimore,
they will be very glad to send to the
proper authorities of the Federal
Government where they may be used
to advantage.
During the hunting season of 1941,
the following species of game were
reported to this Commission as being
killed by hunters in Maryland:
Cottontail rabbits 312,213
Squirrels 224,l42
Raccoons 6,257
Opossums 1880
Deer 3ll
Wild Geese 4,183
Wild Ducks 69,811
Therefore, it can readily be seen
the grease or fat from these game
animals would naturally make quite
a contribution to the Federal Govern
ment for use in the war industry.
Therefore, Mr.. Hunter, we appeal at
this time for your entire cooperation
in this matter since we are not asking
you to contribute any money but only
contribute that which you would
throw away.
The down and small feathers of the
wild waterfowl can be used for avia-
tors garments, sleeping bags, etc,
and if every hunter on this Continent
will save the waterfowl feathers,
thousands of our armed forces could
be made more comfortable.
Be sure to check on the laws before
taking to the field; have hunters Ii
cense in possession and tag displayed
on outer garment between shoulders.
Since general reports are to the eff
feet that the majority of species of
game are more plentiful in Maryland
this season than for some years nat
urally it is anticipated a great army
of hunters will take to the fields and
forests. An appeal is made to be care
full and try to abide by the following
Code:
"Treat every gun with the respect
due a loaded gun. This is the car
dinal rule of gun safety"
"When entering an automobile,
boat, camp, or home, be sure gun is
not loaded"
always be sure that the barrel
and action are clear of distractions.
Do not get dirt in the end of the bar
rel as it is liable to burst the gun"
always carry a gun so that you
can control the direction of the muZ-
lie if you should stumble"
BE sure Of your target before you
pull the trigger; also look to see if
there is any person in line Of shot"
Never point gun at anything
you do not want to shoot
Never climb tree or fence with
a loaded gum"
"Never shoot at a flat, hard sur
face or the surface of water;;" and
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
"DO NOT MIX GUN-POWDER
AND ALCOHOL. THEY WILL NOT
WORK TOGETHER"

A T THE risk of being told by Police
"A Commissioner Witherspoon that "out-
siders don't need to tell us our business"
it should be pointed out that the investiga-
ton into the murder of Clyde Mccoy in a
Detroit hotel has been bungled.
1t is more than two weeks since Mccoy,
lawyer and prospective army officer, was
fed enough knockout drops to kill a
horse"-in the words of police-at party
in his room. Within II hours Anna Mae
James was taken into custody and adj
mitted - according to police - that she
had seen the knockout drops administered
to Mccoy by another woman.
From then on the case was being rap
idly solved-if you could believe the state
ments that were being issued by the police
and Prosecutor Bowling. The latter even
announced he was not convinced there was
a second woman-and was asking a first
degree murder warrant for the James
woman.

Dope-Ki||ins Probe BunsIed

II am strongly inclined to believe that
Miss James is the person we want"
Bowling said.
But the warrant was not requested.
Miss James has been freed. After two
weeks - and dozen statements - the
prosecutor has decided there is no evil
dence against her.
The investigation was not helped by
the fight between Commissioner Wither-
spoon and Prosecutor Bowling, touched
off by the 1atters criticism of police
methods. 1t brought the caustic remark
from Witherspoon that outsiders don't
need to tell us our business"
But when reputable citizen can come
to Detroit and be poisoned in his own room
and police-even though they have in
custody woman who admits she saw the
poisoning-are helpless to do anything
about it. it is apparent that police do need
to be told their business.

Real Rent Riddle

WAR brings many economic distortions, particularly
w to production centers such Detroit
An ironic example of this is the rental situation at
the Parksde and Brewster housing projects.
There, in some instances war workers earning nearly
500 weekly enjoying the benefits of government sub
sdized homes
Originally these dwelling units intended to pro-
vide housing for ow-income families To hundreds Of just
such families these projects proved godsend.
WAR industry pay envelopes changing the picture.
w Many of these families well able to stand
on their own feet financially.
Still we continue to afford them as high 30 per
cent subsidy on their rental costs
The government rightly does not wish to be either IN
the role of eicng landlord that of rent gouger
n
I HOWEVER, subsidy is something else again. 1t is
i ridiculous to provide such help in where it
longer is merited.
Rents in Detroits low cost housing projects should
be adjusted Immediately to bring them to levels above
subsidy wherever possible.
