WHAT'S THE REASON !?
Many Annapolis People In Poor
Health Knowing The Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suffer
ing. Day after day they are racked
with backache and headache; suffer
from nervousness, dizziness, weak
ness, languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work of altering the blood and
that is the root of the trouble. Look
to your kidneys, assist them in their
work-give them the help they need.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed by
over one hundred thousand people, and
by your neighbors in Annapolis.
Mrs. Jennie Elliott, 125 King George
street, Annapolis, Nd. says: Deans
Kidney Pills did me a world of good

HAZING PROBE RESUMED.
Naval Academy Authorities Still Look
ing Into Reported Molesting OF
Plebes.

After a weekend recess, the board
of investigation which is probing the
alleged presence of hazing at the Ma.
val Academy, and of which Lieut.. Com.
mander C. b. McVay is senior mem.
Der, resumed it's sessions at the insti.
tuition this morning.
During the day many plebes were
called before the board and cross
examined as to their probable knowl-
edge of any molesting of fourth
classmen by upper classmen. What
developed from these witnesses is
not known, but it is thought from the
repored findings of the board last
week. that while there seems good
ground for suspecting mild form of
running has been going on, there is
nothing of a serious nature likely to
develop.
The authorities at the Academy do
not, it is understood, feel that there
will be any startling developments or
any cases uncovered which will re-
quire more than nominal punishment
without reference of the question to
the Secretary of the Navy.
1t is understood that about twenty
upper classmen have been involved by
the admissions of the plebes who
were before the board last week, but
all of these cases were only of a
mild nature.

WALTER TOWNSEND DIES.
Well Known And Popular Reading
Clerk Of State Senate Passes
Away Suddenly.

Walter Townsend, known in Annap.
oils for years as the reading clerk of
the State Senate, and one of the most
widely known and popular men asso-
ciated with Democratic State politics
in many years, died suddenly at his
apartments in the Rocambeau, Balti-
more, last night. Death was due to
acute indigestion, which attacked
Mr.. Townsend yesterday morning.
Few men who have been in the
Legislature in the last twenty-five
years do not count Walter" Town
send as a personal friend. He had
played part in nearly every political
battle in the State in a quarter of a
century and his influence, while gem
orally unseen, was exceedingly effec-
tive. His personal popularity, his
knowledge and experience, his adroit-
ness and daring, made his aid in An
napolis eagerly sought by those who
either wanted to get through the Leg
islature an important measure or who
desired to defeat the passage of one.
There is, perhaps, no man in Mary
land who has passed more bills and
defeated more bills than he.

What Was The Matter With The Gas

Yesterday everybody was inquiring
of everybody else, What's the mat
ter with the gas?" Nobody seemed
to be able to answer the question, but
it was the experience of most house
wives who attempted to get breakfast
on the gas stove yesterday morning
that the breakfast was a failure.
The gas fiickered and entirely went
out at breakfast time, and it was i'm
possible to get flow of gas to cook
breakfast on the gas range. One
lady was preparing to fry cakes for
breakfast when the gas supply was
suddenly stopped, and there was no
quarter-in-the-slot meter in the house
either.
Other housekeepers experienced a
similar difficulty. Upon inquiry at
the Gas and Electric Light Company
by The Capital this morning, the cause
could not be ascertained. The gas
was all right today.

SERIOUS COLLISION.
Narrowly Averted In Fog At Capes-
War Vessel And Barge Run AfouI.

While en- route from Norfolk to
Cape Charles Saturday night barge
in tow of the tug Norfolk, Captain
Thomas Forrest, of the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad
was run into by a battleship of the
United States Navy near Thimble
Light, the guns striking the stern of
the barge, knocking the ends from
two cars loaded with freight, badly
damaging them. A dense fog and
heavy rain prevailed at the time of the
accident.
The battleship was steaming into
Hampton Roads, and evidently lid not
see the signal lights displayed by the
tug. Immediately after striking the
barge the battleship displayed all its
searchlighs and disappeared before
the name could be ascertained. A
rigid investigation as to the exact
cause of the accident will be made.
No one is known to have been injured.

AT The Colonial Theatre October IA.

Had Miss Kitty McNair remained
firm in her refusal to say she was Mrs.
Bubbles" Wilson, she would have
aveIted innumerable complications.
But she liked Bubbles" was sorry
for him because his wife had got a
divorce, and she realized that unless
he could show a Mrs. Wilson he'd lose
his allowance from a rich aunt. SO
she yielded.
1t was to have been only for an
hour, during the aunt's visit. Neither
she nor the others dreamed that the
deception would have to last a week,
and that the divorced wife would ap-
pear and be jealous of her former hus-
band and Miss McNair's sutton would
arrive and think she had flouted him
and been married to Bubbles" and
that they'd all be quarantined and
cut off from the world outside.
And Kitty, in the guise of Mrs.
" Bubbles" had to act as mistress
of the household, with all the ser
wants fled and she knowing how to
cook nothing except fudge. This and
much more that would take long in
the telling make "Seven Days." the
comedy by Mary Roberts Rinehart
and Avery Hopwood, that Messrs.
Wagenhals & Kemper will present at
the Colonial Theatre, Saturday, Oc-
tober Ia, matinee and night.
1t wouldn't be fair to describe
Seven Days" at length, anyway.
People want the surprises of the play
when they see it, and this comedy is
full of delightful surprises that are
fresh and new no matter how often
Seven Days" is seen. 1t is laugh
without end that grow with repetition.

JUNIOR MAY NOW HEAD.
Navy Officers Agitated Over Possible
Successor To Rear Admiral Nichol-


The possibility that junior officer
may succeed to the billet of chief of
the bureau of navigation of the navy
is agitating every officer of the navy
who considers himself eligible to the
appointment, and is the topic of dis.
cussion among the line and staff.
This post is one of the most important
in the administration of the navy.
Rear Admiral Reginald F. Nicholson,
who now holds he place, has been as
signed to take command of the Asiatic
fleet, making the vacancy. He sue.
ceeds Rear Admiral Joseph B. Muir
dock.
The appointment of the next in
cumbent of the post cannot be made
before the return TO Washington of
the President. The place has hereto
fore always been held by an officer of
the rank of rear admiral.
Commander Philip Andrews, aid to
the Secretary of the Navy, is be-
lieved to be under consideration for
the appointment. Commander An
drews is eighteenth on the list of his
rank, and will not retire before 1928
for age disability. Another supposed
candidate is Capt. Templin M. Potts,
chief of the intelligence office, who is
eleventh on the list of captains and
should be rear admiral in a short
time.
Rear Admiral Murdoch does not re-
tire until February Is of next year.
Rear Admiral Nicholson, who sue
ceeds him in command of the Asiatic
fleet, might have expected a continu-
ance of his home duty as the time for
him to go to sea has not yet arrived
in the ordinary course of events.

THE DANGER DANCE.
A Terpsichorean Novelty In Madame
Sherry"

1AGAAy
The Danger Dance" is the latest
musical comedy terpsichorean sensa-
ton. The dance was first introduced
as "a feature Of Madame Sherry
and came to America by way Of Paris.
where it was performed in the orig
inal French version of this interna-
tional musical comedy success. The
dance is logical issue of one of the
sensations in the piece, as will be seen
at the Colonial Theatre tonight.
Danced by Alice Hills, who appears
as the Spanish girl, and Joe Smith
Maria who appears in the role of IA
termperamental Frenchman, il is a
novelty of the most sensational kind
not sensational in the sense of the
Apache Dance, or the dance of Salome,
but sensational in its novelty and
physical daring. Both performers in
this unique dance must be trained
gymnasts as well as graceful dancers,
for in its intricate movements the
male dancer is always on the ground
while his fair partner most in the all,
whittier he swings. pulls and losses
her as though she were the gay scarf
whichs he wears.
- There is plot and expression in every
movement of the dance. 1t depicts
the pangs of jealousy that rankle in
the heart of a red-blooded Spanish
girl, who believes herself Tilted by
her sweetheart. The woman's heart
runs the gamut of all the deeper emo
tons, and danger, hate, suspicion and
despair are all expressed in this pc
culiarly rhythmic dance. Miss Ken
dali, who figures as the human
fabric who is whirled and twirled
through space by the strong arms
of her partner, wears specially
devised steel corset to protect her
ribs from cracking in some of the
pierce clinches.
1.-THE Danger Dance" is performed
to the enhancing measures of "The
Mad Madrid" one of the musical
gems of Madame Sherry" which
has most as great vogue as the
other fetching numbers of the piece,
Every Little Movement.

Neither Here Nor There
APPROVES PAJAMAS
 FOR HOUSE WEAR

From the Chicago Tribune
 A Boston woman suggests that a pair of pink pajamas-or blue ones for that matter-be slipped on in place of a skirt while the housewife Is attending to morn ing duties. They are said to be easier to wash than the ordinary house skirt
 The eastern pajama advocate suggests that silk kimono be hung on the back of tho front door so the pajama clad woman could slip into this as she answers the doorbell ring.
 An ordinary cotton kmono ought to hang on the same sort of an emergency hook at the back door for use in case of peddlers and delivery boys
 The morning pajamas however, seem to have little chance of popularity in Chicago. Cold winter drafts, it is as- serted, will filter protection for them.
 Another objection lies In the absence of lap. It has been pointed out that there is no lap of servieeable character to a pair of pajamas.
 Housewives are prone to do darning and needlework after the dishes are put away. They dump the repaid outfit into their laps. Should pajamas replace skirts the tariff would 80 to the floor. How to get good grip on a crock while beating cake would present another problem. while the laplessness of pajamas would
 
 two or three at a time instead of lap full at once
 pr. Anna BlOunt whose ideas on dress reform have attracted considerable at tention, says it is all right for women to wear pajamas in the home.
 "A woman has a perfect right to wear pajamas about the house if she so de- sires," said Dr. Blount. q am not ex- 'actly sure that they are. I never have worn any myself even at night, but 1 ina zine they are much like the little nighties my boy gets into. If it will give women more freedom and ease let them wear pajamas. I think that anything which tends toward greater simplicity in the dress of women Is mighty good thing.
 T don't think the wearing of pajamas ever could lead to the wearing of trous- CTS on the street. Women never will abandon skirts altogether. It is that mode of dress which makes them diff fer in appearance from men, and in that fact lies a certain sort of protection for them''
 Mrs. J. A. Britton asserts that women already have the necessary freedom in the home.
 Few women dress uncomfortably in their homes," she said Most sensible women wear light wrappers about the house. This gives them what freedom and ease they need I always am op- posed to extremes, and it certainly is an extreem idea for Chicago woman to 20 about the house in her pajamas Even if the fad should be adopted in the privacy of the home, it never would get any farther. Chicago women do not wish to wear trousers
