Take 80 children between the
ages of 81 months and II years,
use them as models in children's
fashion show. and you'll get a
show backstage that is as good as
the one out front.
At least that was the case yes
terday at the Hotel Statler. when
Baby Fair Shops showed both
parents and other children the
latest thing to wear for Shaving

busy sticking up all the little
girls backstage whose mothers
were trying to curl their hair
Little boys who didn't have on
cowboy suits were busy telling
those who had just how to wear
the neckerchiefs and holsters.

Braddock road, Alexandria, was
crying as he repeated over ano

stead of wearing them.

little persons kept telling their
mothers. The store was furnish

happy.

mothers kept telling children.
Shall I change my suit now." a
boy called Butch" asked even
before he'd modelled the one he
was wearing.
Here Michele. Where is
Michele?" Mrs. Morris Shweky
backstage organizer, called fran
tically as she tried to put the SO
in line in the order they were to
appear in public.
"Just like school," said Michele,
popping up out of nowhere.
Two little girls in matching
coats stood beside two little boys
in line to stare at them.
Aren't you supposed to be in
line" one of the boys asked.
"Oh yes" said the little girls,
"but we're way at the end. We're
here to talk" The little boys
turned away.

PeaceCa|IMade
On
Season Opening
| Plea Seeks to Prevent
Nightly Serenqde' Of
Gunfire on Potomac
Special Dispatch 10 The Stor

COLONIAL BEACH, Sept. IA
A call for peace on the Potomac"
was sounded today as about IL
Virginia and a like number Of
Maryland craft were made ready
for the opening of the oyster sea-
son at sunrise tomorrow.
The call came from some 300
organized Virginia watermen who
see "a dire winter" ahead because
of scarcity of oysters and in
creasing vigilance by Maryland
patrol craft.
1t was voiced by John E. Mayo.
executive secretary of the Poto-
mac River Oystermen's Associa-
ton, who said he hoped to prevent
"the usual nightly serenade of
police machine guns and high
powered rifles "
Little of Big Fleet Left.
The 20-odd boats expected on
the river tomorrow represent the
remnants of fleet which only a
few years ago numbered more
than $50 on the Virginia side
alone. Virtually all the Virginia
boats and some owned by Mary
flanders were operated as dredgers
in violation of the law which
permits only hand-tonging.
In those days. each OF three
man crew sometimes made az
much as $3.50 in an hour or two,
but in the coming season which
ends April Is. rivermen say they
will be lucky if they can scraps
up enough oysters to pay groc-
cry bill.
Scarce and poor" is the report
given on the supply and quality
by the few watermen who will
make any comment at all. Pack
ing house operators here and at
Rock Point, Md, have not set a
definite price but have indicated
that the oystermen's market will
open at about SITS a tub
little more than a bushel.
3 Craft to Start Patrol.
The price will advance as the
oysters "fatten" with colder
weather and are expected to reach
So or more bushel later in tf,s
season.
Protecting the dwindling sup
ply will be three Maryland patrol
craft assigned to the lower Po-
tomac and one will be sent to the
WMomico River on the Maryland
side when the season opens in
the tributaries October /.
Indicating his belief that this
seasons "oyster war" will be
fought mainly by State legisla-.
tors, Mr.. Mayo said his organi-
zation would oppose bill passed
by the Maryland Assembly last
winter and expected to be intro
duced in the Virginia Legislature
shortly after it meets in January.
Cites Earlier Rejection.
The measure. Mr.. Mayo said,
would. for all practical purposes,
vest absolute power over all sea-
food of the Chesapeake Bay and
the Potomac River in a joint
Maryland Virginia commission"
Inclusion of the Potomac in the
plan is based on the argument
that the bay and river are a
biological unit inasmuch as fish
and crabs are migratory.
Mr.. Mayo declared that a
similar proposal made to Virginia
legislators two years ago was
not even considered and almost
certainly will be given the cold
shoulder in the 1850 session. 1t
will be long time" he predicted.
before any joint conservation
plan will be accepted by the Old
