columns of the Messenger you will learn

sized space to talk automobiles in, and as

which is all that is claimed for it. you need
not go away to get the best automobile in
the world for the money. See Perdue

1T is a waste of time to be busying
yourself with what you conceive to be
the faults of other people. Be sure that
others see as many and as reprehensible
faults in you. A good many people who
think themselves reformers, specially
chosen to point out and reprove the sins
of others. are merely insufferable nui-
sances. If you desire to reform your
fellows remember that example is more
potent than precept. ATTEND to your
own business" is rather bluff advice,
but it is we'll worth considering. Your
fellows have faults, no doubt about it,
but if they occupy much of your atten-
ton the chances are ten to one that their
virtues cutnumber yours two to one. =

Annapolis people saw seven queer
looking craft going through series of
exercises in the Severn river Tuesday.
They were the submarine torpedo boats,
comprising the third division. which
arrived at Annapolis on Saturday for
their annual spring drills. During the
next three months the submarines will
get under way daily and steam out into
the river or the bay in the vicinity of
Annapolis and execute the various
maneuvers, tests of machinery. etc.,
peculiar to the type of vessel. Late in
May they will go down the bay to engage
in war maneuvers in the vicinity of Tan
gier Sound, and later on they will go up
the Atlantic Coast for series of exer
cises with the battleship feet.
