No. 6 shot seems to be the inter-
mediate in that it loses its pattern
density and killing power at about
the same point on the trajectory
Hence, the choice of this size shot
for duck loads by the majority OF
hunters.
The United States Fish and Wild
Life Service records one of the
longest and most puzzling duck mi
grations, based upon information re-
ceived from Ensign Arthur r
Murphy Of the United States Navy
He notified the service of the ar

Controversy over hunting in the
Green Ridge State Forest in Mary
land finally has been settled. The
area will be divided into two Sec
tlonS. one of about 10000 acres
where hunting will be permitted
ana the other of about 10000 acres.
closed to hunting because of Ger
man war prisoners cutting pulp
wood. The Department of Game
and Inland Fish will patrol the sec
ton for hunting and the section
where hunting is prohibited will be
patrolled by the Forest Department.
Inc area comprises the best wild
turkey grounds in the State and
also is a mecca for grouse hunters
Game Wardens w. Carroll Waters
and Henry c. Hough of Montgom-
cry county, are to be congratulated
on the arrest and conviction of four
game law vlolaters, all of Allegany
County. They were apprehended on
an island in the Potomac where
tney were charged with engaging in
a protracted squirrel hunt. They
also were charged with possessing
more than the lawful two days bag
limit IN one week. Arraigned be-
fore Judge Donald A. Delashmutt
OF Rockville, they were fined s62 so
apiece.
Bass fishermen who journeved to
the POTOMAC last week had great
sport. particularly up-river. The
water has been clear and has raised
somewhat. The small mouths are
on the prod and hitting surface bugs
and lures. Night fishing seems to
be increasing and frequent reports
OF large fish caught after dark on
surface lures bear out the theory
that the big fellows feed mostly at
night.
Down In the Chesapeake the strip

Dan N. Jenkins of the Merchant

tered IN the George Rupper fishing

VINO now are striving to lay in shells,
is why the No. shot are available
mostly in duck loads. Scientific ey-
periments by the large ammunition
companies may throw some light
thereon. The size of the shot has
much to do with the range of the
load and its killing efficiency, AS
we'll as pattern. For all practical
purposes, the same weight of
different sizes of shot propelled by
the same amount of powder will
develop identical muzzle velocities.
However, small shot lose their kill

EN- ROUTE 10 THE POLISH
ARMY STATION ON THE FIRST
UKRAIN1AN FRONT IN RUSSIA
May e--One of the greatest scars
on the body Of Russia is an old
Jewish city which the Germans
bombed. burned and dynamited
until only the remnants remain,
Strange shapes and scenes appear
at the outskirts of the ruined city.
Right here is what is left of the
old Jewish cemetery" said the Polish
lieutenant with whom I was riding
in a Dodge. Look what the Nazis
did to It,"
Tombstone Traps.
A gigantic tank trap had been
made of the tombstones. The ceme-
terry itself, which lies south of a
highway and railroad crossing looked
as If giant armed with telephone
pole had marched through. clubbing
every tombstone on the landscape
In an area of what seemed to have
been several thousand stones of
uniform height, saw not single
one which had not been touched.
1t took definite, careful and tedious
effort to get every one. Those not
knocked over entirely were leaning
crafty to the right or left.
Bodies beneath apparently had
not been disturbed.
The highway crossing at the rail
line had been a German defense
stronghold as the Red Army pushed
toward the eastern and north
eastern suburbs of the city. The
Germans had raided the cemetery
for material to halt Russian tanks
For 200 yards approaching the
junction, the Germans had set
tombstones into the earth in deep
tank trap. The markers were about
four feet apart and there were IL
lines of them, and that is lot of
tombstones.
Once City of 10000.
Soviet guidebooks say that in 1928
the towns population was 65 per
cent Jewish, Is per cent Ukrainian,
10 per cent Russian, 7 per cent Pol
ish and per cent miscellaneous. We
passed through the town in the early
afternoon and in the place where
once 100000 lived, we saw no more
than 10 civilians and these were
mostly on the outskirts.
The center of the city was a mass

Of rubble, of broken sawtooth walls
and buildings without roofs, windows
and fronts.
The former monastery of the
"barefooted Carmelites" is mostly in
ruins. A newly-erected sign on its
side said the Germans took from
the editice, built in 1927, ancient
Slar objects of art from the 1lth
and l2th centuries worth 500 900 gold
rubles and 200 paintings and sculp-
ture worth 100000 gold rubles. Total
damage, the sign said, amounted to
4S7 .20S,S67 gold rubles. cThe ruble
has nominal value of about 10
centSl.
Chopin Played There.
The monastery had been a mu-
scum since 1925 Polish guides said
Bal2ac was married either there or
in a nearby ruined palace and that
Chopin had played in it.
There was heavy fighting in the
city but all the damage did not ap-
pear to have been made by shells.
There were huge bomb craters into
which walls had spilled.
