and Frederick, II. For the first
time in the records Of the game de-
partment a deer was reported shot
in Hartford County. The largest deer
reported was a 350-pounder bagged
by George Bryan in Cecil County.
A 200-pound. seven-point albino
buck was shot by Charles Bauser-
man in Washington County, near
Hancock. Altogether, with most re-
ports in, $50 deer have been killed,
exclusive of those which will be
shot this week on the 5,000-acre pri-
vate preserve of the Woodmont Rod
and Gun Club in Washington Coun-
ty, where members raise and hunt
their own deer.
We have had few reports of much
success by quail hunters in near
by regions. The birds have been
hard to find, having for the most
part kept to the woods, swamps
and inaccessible thickets. The
weather has been open, fairly dry,
with feed plentiful, all Of which
makes the going tough for dogs and
men.
Duck shooting has been spotty.
Hunters who have hit the right
days. when the weather was pro-
pitious, have had fine sport. The
ducks are down by the thousands
but in our opinion will continue
to refuse to decoy until we get some
good old northeast wet or snowy
weather. With batting and live de-
coys illegal, weather mostly fair,
feed still fairly plentiful, Wild
fowlers will just have to take it as
it comes. The season ends Janu-
ary 20.

3 to pounds, but there were so
many of them that he and Mrs.

Mrs. Alderman became so tired reel

The Maryland State Game and In
land Fish Commission advises that
an 8-mile stretch of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Canal has been damned,
flooded and stocked with 10000 fish
of various species and will be ready
for Maryland anglers next summer.
This preserve, near Cumberland, has
been dubbed Battle Nixon's Fishing
Paradise after the game warden
who conceived the idea and directed
the group of Western Maryland
sportsmen who volunteered in the
construction of the dams. They built
four dams at the sites of the old
locks, dividing the flooded area into
four levels. Water diverted from
Ginneman's Run will provide a con-
slant source of supply. One level will
be set aside for children under IA
years of age, who will be permitted
to fish without licenses. The Fed

sites, gave permission for this fine
and unique conservation develop

A WISE MAN is a philosopher
who has once let a woman make
a fool of him-and refuses TO
take an encore.
When a man wastes his youth
IN cheap and casual isYe-HffdIrs
before marriage. its like eating
too many canapes before dinner
just spoils his appetite for the
real love-feaSt.
When love is just a matter Of
glamour and sex attraction,
marriage is lust a matter of inn
pulse and divorce Just a matter
of course.
WHEN \ MAN is tempted 10
marry a girl. IT sometimes takes
lot of intrepidity and moral
courage for him to yield to the
temptation, says a cynical my
