five minutes after ten, with Mcknight
not yet in sight, Blobs knocked at the
door, the double rap we had agreed
upon, and on being admitted slipped
in and quietly closed the door behind
him. His eyes were glistening with
excitement, and a purple dab of type
writer ink gave him a peculiarly vii
famous and stealthy expression.

Sam met me himself and drove me
out to the Shack, which proved to be
a substantial house overlooking the
water. On the way he confided to me
that lots of married men thought they
were c~ontented when they were mere
ly resigned, but that it was the only
life, and that Sam, junior, could swim
like a duck. Incidentally, he said that
Alison was his wife's cousin, their re-
spectiVe grandmothers having, at
proper intervals, married the same
man, and that Alison would lose her
good looks if she was not careful.
Il say she's worried, and / stick to

a groom and prepared to get out.

"MARYLANO, MY MARYLAND"
MARYLAND Society, OF New York, To
Protest Against New Wording.

Displeased over the substitution.
by certain Maryland school princi-
pals and superintendent, of the words
Maryland My Maryland" members
of the Maryland Society of New or
have induced President Jennings S.
Cox to call special meeting for the
purpose, as stated in the call issued
Monday, of protesting against the
substitution of the so-called revised
version of the poem, Maryland, My
Maryland" by James T. White, for
the original poem by James Ryder
Randall. The meeting is to be held in
the Waldorf and the call states: at
is hoped that full attendance of the
society may be had -
A resolution of protest, already
prepared, will be passed, and, after
its passage forwarded to Governor
Crothers and to the educational board
of every county in the State The
object of the meeting is to prevent
any official or state Endorsement of
the White version of the famous song.
President Jennings Cox of the
Maryland Society who called the spec
ial meeting denounces the White YER
sion and other members are indignant
over the attempt to put new words to
the famous song by Maryland. Pro-
testing resolutions will be sent to
the James Ryder Randall Association
of Baltimore with request that they
be circulated among all the schools of
the state.
j. Lynch Pendergast treasurer of
the Maryland Society of New York
says:
at would be just and reasonable
for some man to rewrite the words of
The Star-Spangled Banner and
see to have them perpetuated as the
original effort of Francis Scott Key.
The whole effort of White and his
friends is ridiculous and we are trying
to induce Governor Crothers to use
his efforts to prevent a dissertation of
Randall's song by school teacher in
Baltimore and if it is thought neces-
sary the Maryland Society of New
York will send delegation to see
Governor Crothers before it will SUBJ
nit to the introduction into the pub
lie schools of Maryland of a parody
on Randall's poem.
President Cox who favors this Off
cial protest against a change in
words of Randall's song was a strong
adherent of the Union as against the
Confederacy when he was a resident of
Baltimore in the days of the Civil War
and associated with the banking house
of McKim & Co

TESTING THE EYESIGHT
Naval Medical Officers Amend Method
OF Examination.

Naval medical officers engaged in
the physical examination of midship-
men and recruits have discovered
defect in the standard tests to deter
mine defective vision. The require
ments in this particular are necessar-
iy strict in view of the fact that so
much depends on good eyesight.
For the purpose of testing vision
certain cards bearing letters of differ
ent sizes are used, and the successful
examination depends upon the ability
of a person to read these letters with
out difficulty at prescribed distances.
There is variety of these cards, with
different arrangements of the letters,
and they are obtainable from the med
zeal supply houses
In some cases, where defective vision
existed, the circumstances were not
disclosed by the examination. That
puzzled the medical officers until it
was ascertained that some of the
young men, who appreciated their
defects, had actually committed to
memory the arrangement of the let
tiers, so that by knowledge of one
or two letters on the card they could
easily read any combination.
10 remedy the situation an "un-
learnable" card has been adopted and
communicated to the service for the
use of recruiting officers and the med
ical officers at the Naval Academy.
The card is placed in a rack, which
exhibits only vertical and horizontal
line of letters in such way that no
clue is afforded the person under ex-
animation,

RODE TO COMFY ON HAIRPIN
Used In Place OF Fuse And Enabled Train
To Reach New York Popular Resort

Two hundred persons rode into
Coney Island, New York, on Thursday
afternoon on hairpin.
The electric train they were on blew
out fuse near the Eighty-fourth
street station. Brooklyn, and was
stalled. John Brady. the motorman,
looked high and low for another fuse,
but there wasn't anything aboard the
train that even looked like one.
In a few minutes came another
train. Brady hurried back for succor.
Not fuse was there on train No. 2.
Another aggravating wait. and along
came third train. Still no fuses.
Brady went into one of the cars and
politely asked what woman would
sacrifice her vanity on the altar of
necessity and forfeit a metal hairpin.
Three stepped out into the aisle and
volunteered TO let their hair hang
down their backs if it would be in
strumeDtal in getting them to Coney.
From the proffered variety Brady
selected one longer than all the rest.
Then he got busy with the insurgent
piece of machinery, and, with the
hairpin convertd into piece of wire,
remedied the trouble, and all the dis
tressed trains were soon on their way.
