SAYS OYSTERS AND SHE FEWER Conservation Commission In Re port Submitted To Governor Ritehie Tells Of Decline The need to restore the supply of oysters and shad in Maryland is set forth in the annual report of the Conservation Commission, which Har rison W. Vlckerß, Jr., chairman of the Commission, has Just forwarded to Governor Ritchie. Both the shad and oyster supply have been declining, the report points out, and Mr. Vickers has of fered a remedy in each. He sug gests that proper State and Federal legislation be enacted to curb the set ting of nets; In the report he states that the nets now are so numerous ind extend so far beyond their proper limits that it is practically impossi ble for the shad to do any more than enter the bay. Mr. Vickers states that few of these fish ever reach the head of tho rivers, their natural spawning ground. Oysfer Rocks Depleted Mr. Vickers points out, too, that year by year the oyster rocks have become depleted and resuscitation of them has been neglected to such an extent that many rocks formerly pro ductive to a high degree now are en tirely barren. By planting oyster shells on which the oyster spat might attach itself and by the transplanting of bivalves from congested beds and from sec tions in which they do not thrive be cause of the lack of natural food in the waters. Mr. Vickers belioves the oyster industry soon could be re stored. He believes, too. that a large an nual appropriation for a period of eight or ten years with which to be gin this reconstruction work ig the <rnttnn*t on Par* 4.1 DINNER TOMORROW AT WOMEN’S CLUe The business men of town, and county residonts here for the day, will be given the opportunity of enjoying a real country dinner tomorrow at the Women's Club, over the State Capital Bank building.

The big Red grapplers of Cornell University turned the trick by a score of 13 to 11. the closest of any engagement .in which the middies have figured. The margin of difference in the score was brought about by the fact that the Ithacans got two falls and one decision, to the sailors’ one fall and two decisions, and one bout resulted in a draw. Five points are credited for a fall, and 3 for a decision. The meet was staged in the drill hall at Ithaca, the trip being the first the Middies have made away front home, and was witnessed by a crowd of more than 2,000 spectators, an un usual gathering for an athletic event of the sort at Cornell.

ALL KOMAR LECTURE ON LEPROSY Do you know that there are two thousand lepers in the United States waiting for the Hospital No. 66 at Carville, La., to be enlarged to ac-: commodate them? To those of us who have been regarding leprosy as an affliction almost extinct, this infor mation conies as a decided shock, but the stereopticon slides to be used Thursday at College Ave. Baptist Church in demonstration of this and other truths in connection with thi? disease will prove the falsity of this general attitude on the part of the public. Only be segregating the dis ease may we hope to wipe it out, as has been done with yellow fever, hook-worm and similar terrible scourges. There is a body of interest ed men and women, known as the Mission to Lepers, embracing all de nominations. The aim of this organi zation is to cheer and aid in every possible way these outcasts—the most miserable in human society.

I SLIGHT FIRES OCCUR WITHIN SHORT TIME OF ONE ANOTHER Two general alarms of fire sound ed In the very early hours of Sunday morning, trought out large •delega tions of volunteer fire fighters, as well as hundreds of residents of the city who had settled themselves into deep slumber. The first alarm sounded shortly before 1 o’clock, was for a blaze that broke out in small wooden sheds, used as summer kitchens, in the rear of houses on Washington street. The glare from the flames could le seen from a great distance, and for a time the row of dwelling houses .on the street—and they are all frame—was seriously threatened. HowevorT once the firemen got busy, they soon mastered the situation. Before the flames were entirely ex tinguished in a lapse of about 15 min | utes, during which many persons had returned to their homes, the shrill blasts of the siren whistle atop of Porter Hall, quarters of the Indepen dent Fire Company, again were heard. The alarm this time had been turn ed in front the Beehler home at 1 Taney avenue, Murray Hill, occupied by the family of Lieut. H. L. Samson, of the Navy. A blaze had teen dis covered on" the shingled roof, near the chimney, which had probably been i caused by flying sparks. The Rescue Hose Company dispatched one of its trucks to the scene. Cutting a small hole in the shingle roofing, the fire men got at the heart of the trouble, and subdued the flames in short or der. The damage from both fires was slight.
