ALL KINDS OF FUN
Midshipmen Start Out To Enjoy Day But
Meet Difficulties

A party of dozen or so midshipmen
from the Naval Academy had all
kinds of fun on the Fourth.
They at first started out for an auto
mobile ride to Arundel on-the- Bay,
where they proposed to literally and
figuratively get in the swim" Fate
decreed it otherwise. The auto
broke down, and they got out and
tried to push it along, but this did not
work. They telephoned to Chaney's
livery stables for team and a van
drawn by two mules was sent. They
boarded this and again the start
was made
En- route to Arundel-ou-the-B Bay the
middies shed their white canvas uni
forms, beneath which they wore bath
ing suits. Upon arrival at Arundel
all hands went in swimming. Tn ey
expected Ito return by boat to the
Naval Academy, but their boat fail
ing to arrive on time. they were taken
back to Annapolis in a private launch
of gentleman in town, who happen
ed to be visiting Arundel at this
time.
The middies landed just in the nick
of time for formation.

A CURIOUS COIN
Mysterious Roman Money Piece With
Strange Device

Mr. c. Nunzio. living at 60 Corn
hill street found a curious copper
medallion within the walls of his
house. Japanese, Chinese, Greeks
and Hebrews have been consulted
who declare that the copper is not
coin of their realms.
The suggestion that it may be of
Egyptian origin is contraoicted by
the fact that the one plain, modern
lettering on it is the Roman figure
vi" The coin is an inch and a-half
in diameter and the sixteenth Of an
inch in thickness. On the side upon
which is the "VI" is a scroll, with a
larger figure, part of which is "A
branch of flowers, and mixed forna-
tion of lines and flowers. This side
has indentation in il if made by a
load of shot.
On the other side is a scroll with
the spattered small letter "e" Of the
Greek alphabet. There are also four
letters of the Greek alphabet togeth
er that have, at first glance, the ap
pearance of "1700," the longitudinal
stroke of the u, however, is on the
right side instead of the left on the
perpendicular stroke. This letter is
also one of the Greek alphabet, and
its form appears in several places on
this side of the medallion.

No Fight Pictures

Governor Crothers has taken a
stand which relieves Mayor Strange,
of Annapolis, and the executives
of the other towns and cities
throughout Maryland of any necess-
airy action in the matter of the
moving picture exhibitions of the
Jeffries-Johnson prize fight. Mayor
Strange announced today, however,
that be would most positively have
done everything to prohibit the pic
lures being shown here.
Following the appeal from the Uni
ted Christian Endeayor societies yes
terday, the Governor announced that
he would take steps to refuse permis-
sion to show the films within this
state. The revulsion against these
pictures throughout the country has
assumed such proportions that the
pomoters will lose hundreds of thous.
ands of dollars on their purchase OF
the rights from the two fighters.

life, sir.

To impress on young children just
what should and what should not pc
done and why, is among the most try
Ing problems Of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience OF West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son, aged eight, to
carry chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started OF
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
q pirate Of ancient days. The mother
ances that would have done credit to
q pirate Of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy long
and serious talk on the subject, OF pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
concluded the boy added to her dis
comfture by exclaiming, II am sorry
swore, mamma, but I forgot 1t was
Sunday"

better, and then break out again with
the most terrible pain and itching. l
have been sick several times, but
never in my life did experience such
awful suffering as with this eczema. I
had made up my mind that death was
near at hand, and l longed for that
time when I would be at rest. I had
tried many different doctors and med1-
cines without success, and my mother
brought me the Cuticura Remedies, IN
sisting that try them. began to
feel better after the first bath with
Cuticura Soap, and one application OF
Cuticura Ointment.
II continued with the Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and have
taken four bottles Of Cuticura Resolv

Peas on Toast.

To prepare peas nicely for service
on toast is one of the simplest meth
DDS OF cooking them. Take can Of
peas and after heating them drain off
a little of the liquor and season the
balance with butter, pepper and salt.
At the last moment before serving
add little rich cream, pour over thin
Islices of buttered toast and sprinkle
lightly with paprika. This dish is
quite as attractive as It is tasty and
easy to prepare for luncheon course.
