tinguishes Himself.

Roy Childs, a former operator at the
Wireless Station at the Naval Acad-
emy, has distinguished himself. Young
Childs, who is former Wichita, Kans.

Childs, who until about five years
ago was a member of the Masonic
Home family, is now stationed at the
torpedo station at Newport, r. !. He
is one Of the youngest electricians in
the government service, but he seems
to have made good.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Snedden, of
the Kansas Masonic Home, who are
very proud of the young man, received
letter from him day or two ago, in
which he says:
"a bit of good news from yours
truly. On November IL, at o'clock
a. M, made long distance record
for wireless telegraph; in fact, the
longest distance a wireless message
has eyre been received overland.
81 am, as you know, stationed in
the wireless at the torpedo station,
Newport, and copied an official mes
sage from Mare Island CAL, dis
tance of about 3,62S miles overland.
The like was never done before. /
gave Commander Williams, of the tor
pedo station the message and he in
vetigated and found that was correct
in every detail.

ANNAPOLIS. MD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER a9 1911
A GREAT SUCCESS.
Tonight The Last OF Eagles Supper
Good Menu.

Most successful have been the re-
suits the past two nights of the supper
held by the Annapolis Aerie No. 1868
Fraternal Order of Eagles. Last
night was even more successful than
the night previous, and a great many
suppers were served at the Eagle S
Home on West street and a great
many were sent out as ordered.
The ladies who have assisted the
Eagles, cannot be praised too highly.
Their work has been difficult and
wearing, but they are as willing to
help the good cause as the mem
bers of the fraternal order them
selves. Chief among the helpers,
and those who have been interchangeable
in their efforts to serve the patrons
are Mrs. Beall, Miss Hipkins and Miss
Emma Cannon. Last evening they had
few additional helpers.
The menu consisted of fried oysters,
pickle, chow chow, sauer kraut, slaw,
potatos salad, bread, biscuit, celery,
hot coffee, ham and there was an
abundance of everything. The night
previous the supply had given out at
10 o clock but last night an additional
supply lasted for all demands. The
supper will be repeated tonight and in
addition there will be supply of ex-
cellent homemade cakes for sale.
The Eagles Home. where the
supper is being held was once the
residence of the late Judge James
Revell and was purchased after the
Judges death by the Eagles. 1t is
very much changed many of the
rooms having been made larger, two
being thrown into one and other inn
provements made The lodge room
is on the third floor and is large and
inviting place of meeting for the
members who number over 200.
Last evening the two parlors on the
first floor were thrown into one room
for dancing, the floor waxed and music
was furnished by an orchestra of the
st. Johns College band. There will
also be dancing tonight. The Eagles
made patrons welcome and everything
was done for the pleasure of those
who visited the Home.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A Musical Sketch Given By The
League At The Chapel Last Even
ing-A Well Rendered Pro-
gramme.

A pretty little musical sketch was
given by the Ministering Children's
League and others in the lower room
of St. Anne's Mission Chapel last
night. 1t was for the help of sick
and suffering children for whom the
League always works.
The entertainment was directed by
Miss Katharine Writ Randall who es-
tablished the League i1r Annapolis and
has always been its chief officer. She
was assisted by Miss Helen Moss and
Miss Ruth Carter. In addition to
the children, several songs were taken
by Mrs. CAN'T and Miss Elizabeth
Randall
The play opened with a charmingly
set stage, having fire place with a
bright fire. In j. Whitcomb Riley's
words a speaker called the audience to
forget the present and to Wander
down the old path winding yonder to
where the children used to play" "
He was interrupted by the appearance
of the "Raggedy Man." who lit the
lights arranged the fire place and in
troduced Elizabeth Ann" and Little
Orphant Annie" In few moments
"Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B." and
Little Buttercup" our "Pinafore"
friends appeared and sang the well
known charming songs belonging to
them.
The removal of a screen revealed
a great egg with hands and feet seated
upon a stool. "Alice" came in and
talked with it, for it was 'tHumpty
Dumpty" and the dialogue was Lewis
Carroll's from "Alice in Wonder
land" 1t was an exceptional bit of
acting and recitation. This was fol-
lowed by a dialogue between tom
Sawyer and Huck Finn" about buried
treasures and diamonds and Kings,
which which was successfully done
because it was free and natural.
Little Lord Fauntleroy" and Good
Little Boy" were received and the
latter sang of getting IAN orange
after food" Then, while Mrs. CAN'T
sang the song, little girl was
comforted, "There, Little Girl, Don't
Cry" The famous MRS. Wigs"
and the three children entered and
the chorus sang to the rocking of a
baby carriage. Miss Elizabeth Ran
dali sang two songs, Little Boy
Blue" and ga Dutch Lullaby both
of which were illustrated by chill
dren upon the stage. "Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm came in and
Little Orphant Annie" told her we'll
known story about the goblins who
will "catch you if you don't be good. !"
The evening was finished with a
clog dance and chorus by negro min
strels. The characters all left the
stage singing together about great
cake which was a real cake and the
children were expected to eat. They
did eat it, and finished an enjoyable
evening for the nselves and the au-
dience. Miss Randall's work for
children, with children, has made her
to be one of the most helpful citizens
of Annapolis. All the children know
and love her and children all over
the world bless her whom they do not
know, but whose comfort she min
listers to.

liant occasion when her only daugh.

The house was decorated with
palms, but the wealth of flowers, OF
which the young debutante was the
happy recipient, made it a veritable
bower of posies. This was a beauti-
full setting for the handsomely gown
ed ladies receiving. The hostess in
gown of black velvet, with her love-
ly daughter at her side in a dainty
white crepe de chine with trimmings
| of shadow lace and pearls, received
their friends with gracious hospital
ity.

TO SHOOT AERQS
The Naval Gun Tested AT Indian
Head Proving Grounds.
SHE CARRIES $4,000 FEET.
Weapon Designed By Rear Admiral
Expected To Send A Shell Seven
Miles When COmpleted-Ex-
periments Claimed Salts
factory.

Aeroplanes fly high, bur a shell shot
from the naval gun at the Indian Head,
Md, proving grounds surpassed in il
altitude achievement the best records
of the flying machine by more than a
mile. 1t was announced that both
the new weapon and its carriage had
proved eminently satisfactory.
The experiments with the new gun,
destined to destroy the flying squad
ron of an enemy, were temporarily
ended, but will be pursued again when
the ordnance experts improve the
sighting apparatus. The maximum
range of 5000 feet was reached in
the tests, during which fifty rounds
were fired, and when the gun was
elevated at an ange of IS degrees.
For ten thousand feet the shot
sped with accuracy. Beyond that dis
tance some Of its velocity was lost
by reason Of the air currents, and
the she'll dror ped into the Poi mac
river fifteen undred feet away from
the spot at which the experts h / ex-
pected it to fall. Commander : H..
Holden was in charge of the trias.
The carriage feature of the W apon
has been perfected said Rear Admiral
Nathan G. Twining, chief of the Ma
val Bureau of Ordnance and designer
of the new gun. Valuable informa-
tion has also been obtained, he added,
at the three days trial at Indian
Head upon which to base the design
of a sight for the aerial gun.
Naval ordnance experts believes
that a three-inch gun, which will be
developed from this one-pounder, will
shoot seven miles, or $500 feet, into
the air. American airships will be
equipped with another battery of guns
to fight any hostile invaders who may
come by the upper story route
Developments in the invention of
devices for disturbing the equanimity
of aerial travellers on mischief bent
are being recorded more rapidly than
advancements can be noted in the sta
bility and control Of flying machines.
The new weapon, which, like the
marine torpedo, is self -propelling, can
be fired from dirigible or aeroplane
against hottie balloon without dis
turbing the stability of the machine.
The percussion device, which is
necessary far more delicate than that
used in regular artillery, is locked to
prevent premature explosion, the
lock releasing only when the torpedo
has attained a certain speed of rota-
tion.
