Bootlegging in Lobsters

oe. lobster bootlegging. Under faw any lobstir less than

four and a half Inches In length la contraband, and is known as a baby." Indeed there was a time when a alx-ineh lobster was considered too young to be led away from IU home In the vasty deep: but - that was before lb: demand for IhM delicious sea food was as great as It is now. Anyway, the law provides that any one taking from the sea or offering lor sale an uaderstaed lobster shall be fined **0: that Is to say. fJO for each lobster ao taken or sold. R-teeoily a representative of the bootlegging lobster fisherman .was apprehended in the act of delivering SO doien of the baby crus-1 taoesns to a lestaurant. He was' fined Just flSOO and compelled

- Hew Jeney Hot Lacking la State Spirit Philadelphia Inquirer: A speaker at the Stale Press Association convention in New Brunswick said that New Jersey lacked State spirit. He attributed the condition to the accident that the northern half la allied to New York and the soutlwrn part of Philadelphia. This fa rather unjust to the Garden State. It fa true that her large ■ cities somewhat overshadowed by proximity to great inetropoilUn area*, but Newark Is known all over the country for 'the- er-ellence and eleativenom of Ita library

This fa perhaps the characteristic of that'spiritual'essence fbr which l£e Commonwealth as a while Isfatnous. The St at* goes In for those finhr dttribhtes ol life which.are distant from rivalries for‘municipal supremacy In commerce. Its school system ranks high. In many respects its Constitution fa a model and its reputation for the administration of Justice U proverbial. Ita historical and cultural association* are impressive. Finally In recreational facilities It Is unique, with a beach front along the Atlantic seaboard traced for miles by at almost continuous boardwalk. The Stats does not lack spirit It may seem to some to have that defect, but the misconception Is due to tbs fact that It counts Its wealth in a currency for which competitors have no

equivalent.
