GLOOMY OUTLOOK FACES " NEW OYSTER SEASON Quality and Quantity Are Both Be- low Expectations, Tongers . Report. Special Dispatch to The Star.

Many who would be oystering now are still finding it profitable to continue crabbing, they say. The crab season has been the best in many years, al- though undersized crabs are still a source of annoyance to those engaged in this work. Oysters have failed to show encour- aging growth on account of the drought. Their chief food is brought to tidewater down fresh-water streams by rain and sinks to the bottoms, where the oysters eat it. ONCE you’ve heard it, you’ll never forget the crystal-clear reception, the rich, sonorous, tone, the undistorted, face-to-face realism of the new Sparton Equasonne. Recognized as the most amazing radio development of the year, Sparton is the acknowledged standard of perfection in radio. Best proof of this fact is the eensational demand for Sparton which, in one year, jumped Sparton sales from 67th to 3rd place in the radio industry —and into the front rank of popularity in our district. ° Waahingu;n Dealers 409 11th St. N.W. 1350 F St. N.W.
