WOULD PLAY JOHNNIES.
West Pointers Ask For Football Game
With Locals on Saturday Before
Navy Contest.

For the first time in history, St.
Johns College and West Point Mill
tary Academy will in all probability
meet on the gridiron next fall.
Overtures for the game have been
made to the local institution. by the
Army lads in letter received by the
gridiron management of the college
yesterday afternoon. The Pointers
want St. Johns to come to the shores
of the Hudson on Saturday. Noven,-
Der %.
Speaking of the overtures of the
Army for game, Head Coach Roscoe
Grove expresses willingness for his
team to meet the soldiers if all the
arrangements can be satisfactorily
settled
If such contest should be arranged
it would prove of more than usual in
terest, because there is a most invar-
iably one and sometimes two mid-sea-
son games between st. Johns and the
Navy, and to have the local collegians
go to West Point on the Saturday be-
fore the big inter-service struggle
would furnish a good basis of compar-
ison shortly before the final battle
between the blue and gold and the
black and gray.

GRAND JURY RECALLED
County Inquest Will Meet To-
morrow Week to Consider
Crimes of Albert Tyler
of Eastport.
MRS. ROBINSON DISCHARGED.
Only One Of Victims to Survive Muir
derOus Attacks Left the Emer-
gency Hospital Yesterday.

Albert Tyler, of Eastport, charged
with numbering his wife with a
hatchet, his son-in-law with a pistol
and very nearly fatally wounding his
daughter, Mrs. Vivian Tyler Robin
son will, in all probability, be indicted
for murder on Thursday, one week
from tomorrow
On that date the grand jury for
Anne Arundel county will re-assemble
to consider his crimes under an order
of recall issued By Judge James r.
Brashears in the Circuit Court this
morning. Notices to meet on Thurs
daY, December %, are being served
by the Sheriff's Office today on Fore
man David o. Parlett and the other
members of the county's grand in
quest for the October term. 1ss
So clear is the case against Tyler,
through his own admissions to Spec
ial Policeman Samuel G. Garner,
Of Eastport, who arrested him. Chief
Deputy Sheriff Grafton Boone, who
took him to Baltimore for safe keep
ing when there was talk of a lynch
ing, and attendants at the Jail, that
1t is not thought there will be much
time lost by the jury in filing an
indict presentment on which States
Attorney N. Fl. Green will at once
lraw an indictment.
Mrs. Robinson, the daughter, who
was the only one of Tylers victims
to survive his murderous attacks,
was yesterday afternoon discharged
from the Emergency Hospital, where
she has been since about an hour after
her father shot her and then turned
his weapon on her husband.
Mrs. Robinson was shot in the face,
the ball taking a course around the
side of the cheek-bone and being re-
moved from Immediately back of the
ear. She is now at the little cottage

LOOK OUT FOR SNEAK.
Annapolitans Should Keep Their Eye
on Front Hall Doors These Nights
"WaIk Right In"

Because there is one, and possibly
more, shady looking fellows wander
ing about Annapolis, who seem too
free with their desire TO enter dwell
ings where they have no right, An
napolitans had best be careful about
locking their street or side yard doors.
Following close on the heels of the
finding Of a strange man in a bed
room in the Hotel Maryland, and the
chasing Of man across the lots in the
neighborhood Of the postoffice q night
or two later, residents on Prince
Prince George street, near Maryland
avenue, were given scare last night.
Members of DR.. Gordan Claude's
family saw a rough-looking stranger
come out of the front door of the
dwelling occupied by naval officer
next door to DIR. Claude's residence
between s and o'clock, and quietly
walk away.
Inquiry at the house elected the in
formation that only one person was in
the house at the time and he was on
the upper floor and had not heard the
man enter or leave. An investigation
failed to show that anything had been
stolen, so it is supposed the man was
frightened off by finding that someone
was moving about upstairs before he
had time to steal anything.
The police were notified at once,
but the man had gotten away before
they could arrive on the scene and
nothing further was seen of him dur
ing the night, though close watch
was kept in the neighborood.
In addition to these cases, two other
residnces-in widely separated sec
tions of the town-were entered by
a sneak thief one night last week and
in both instances clothing and other
articles of value we're stolen.
SO keep your doors locked and notify
the police Immediately of the appear
ance of a suspicious character and try
not to frighten him away before the
police arrive. Failing in this, keep
him in sight if you can until you
reach a policeman, then have him
taken into custody if he has been act
ing in a suspicious manner.

The newsboys of Annapolis are
anxiousy waiting for the newsboys'
carnival which will take place at the
Boyer (ColoniaD Theatre on Friday
night, with Noodles" Fagan master
of ceremonies.
All the newsboys in town will be the
guest of The Capital, and Manager
Lee, at the first show-games in the
carnival, Twill be Monkadoo, Gluck,
Spider, Sparrow and Umph contests.
Eighty boys will take part. The
carnival will be in conjunction with
the regular show.
Noodles" was the hit of the show
last night at the Boyer Theatre and
packed houses greet him nightly.
Noodles" is ambitious. He wants,
as has been said, to reach all children.
And he is going to do it. Recently,
while in a large Western city, chill
dren of. the rich thronged to the
theater. begging tickets, tickets
never for sale, to the show he was
giving for the children of the poor.
They had heard of this pied piper of
Hamlin, these children of the rich,
and they were unable to resist the
magic flute. In decade, continuing
these tours. "Noodes" will be second
only to Kris Kringle in popular juve-
nile esteem. And he gives something
more valuable than Kris Kringle
ever brings. The memory of toys
fades; the hand of friendship, the
word of encouragement, the beat upon
the back, at critical periods of child
hood, never fade in the memory.
Noodles favors the boy scout
movement; he educates upon santa
tion; he lectures against tuberculo-
sis, cigarettes and strong drink; he
has a hundred little isms that go to
make men healthier and brighter.
And he is the apostle of the smile.
Be CHEEKY, is his perennial message,
disseminated through cheerfulness
unknown in this world since Mr..
Dickens pen dropped from his dead
fingers. Be CHEEKY. Be happy as
you can. Cut out the doleful. Try
| to encourage the other fellow. Let
the milk of human kindness mellow
everything. What a message for child
hood!
Noodles" originated this. Nobody
told it to him. He had his owr
struggles-he must have had, although
he will not speak of them, and ht
knows what must be done and how
He remembers the harsh word on the
street corner, that crushes the soul Of
the gamin; he knows the blow of the
bully, to the cringing babies who ar,
toting their papers for the first time
he knows the home that has M
cheer and the parent lips that neve,
talk baby talk; he remembers tn,
chilly nights in the streets, improperl,
clothed and the delicious dream O
coffee and sandwiches; he remember
the things, any bit or part of tha
amusement, that recreation withou
which childhood is death. That pla,
which the children of the poor ar
denied. He can't lift every newsboy
every gamin in America, out of pov
erty, but he can give them a goo,
time, tell them how to bear the bur
dens of life, call public attention t
their trials and privati ons and max
the life of each little brighter. S
he is doing it. He is not stayin
back in New York piling up dollars
but he is migrating from city to city

tungsten Remarkable Mineral.

The mineral tungsten (the name
meaning heavy stone) has been
known for many years. but only
comparatively recently has it be-
come of economic Importance.
The most important use. according
to Frank L. Hess. of the United
States Geological Survey. and the
one which makes tungsten mining
on an extensive scale possible is
as an alloy for tool steel. Lathes
using tools made from tungten
steel may be speeded up until the
chips leaving the tool are so hot
that they turn blue. an operation
which would ruin the temper OF
high-carbon steel. 1t is stated that
about five times as much can be
done with lathes built for speed
and work as can be done by the
same lathes with carbon-stee
tools. From l6 to 20 per cent OF
tungsten is ordinarily used in lathe
tools. The melting point of tung-
stem is exceedingly highs. SIG F.
Tungsten also has an important
use in making incandescent lamps
crucibles for electric furnaces and
various other articles.
