Kind Wards for Evening Capital.
Contributed


Editor the Evening Capital,
Sir:
Many happy returnsl May the
Evening Capital celebrate many more
birthdays. May it have more sub
scribers, bigger circulation, better
appreciation 1 have visited the offices
of large newspapers, but never, ex-
cept in the Office of the Evening Cap
itial, have seen an editor settling
important matters. over the telephone
checking off news; marking spaces;
scribbling headlines; giving directions
to the reporters and pressmen; keeping
the Office boy on the jump: foiling a
determined book-agent; writing edi-
torials and entertaining visitors at
the same time, and at the same time
knowing perfectly we'll where he was
at!
May you be given the health and
strength TO endure the wear and tear
for many more successful years, Mr..
Editor. May you win out in all your
editorial fights and aspirations. An
napolis and vicinity are the better for
your labors. You are doing much
more than publishing news; you are
making ideals for the locality and
directing it's civic thought; you are
advertising your home town and cor
reting its faults; you are arousing it's
ambitions and encouraging them in
every just path. You are getting re-
suits, even though Gas once heard
you plaintively remark) you nave to
do all the fussing" for the town.
An editor has to fuss; he is in con-
science bound to do so, especially if he
is an altruist. One may not like to
fuss, but no person of the right sort
will hesitate to do so when neces
sary. and if you are really the "town
fusser" it is to your credit, the fact
casts a reflection upon others who do
not fuss; it shows they are lacking in
communal conscience. Your kind of
fussing is a matter of civic and mu-
nicipal self-respect. Let provincial
ism. conservatism" dead headism,
if [ may nickname it, and egotism
squirm and squcl,-keep on fussirg
until there are no more causesl
Them's my sentiments.
With best wishes,
EVA DORSEY CARR.

WHAT RESERVOIR CONTAINS!

(Communicated.)

Annapolis. Md, Mays15, 1916.
Editor of the Evening Capital. An
napolis, Md.
Dear Sir:
We have been reading with much
interest the recent highly Illuminating
discussion of the water works of this
fair city. We have thrilled ct the
thought that the ordinary yellow mud
which forms.so large part of our
morning bath is real chlorine. Our
bosom has swelled with pride with
each succeeding dip In the tomat o
soup, so secure were we in the knowl-
edge that our water works used chic
rlLe, and therefore that we might hold
up our heads and srike hands with our
sister metropolis. Baltimore.
This morning. however, while we
were making preparations for our
morning plunge into the orange-ade, we
were shocked and surprised to find
that a polywog had beaten us to it.
Not being in the habit of keeping
poIywogs in the house. we arrived at
the inevitable conclusion that the little
stranger must have made his entree
via the faucet
Recollections of our early youth
reminded US that the polywog may
be considered as a kind of embryo
frog. Pursuing this line of reasoning
we arrived at the conclusion that our
city reservoir contains, beside chic
rine. at least one frog.
We have named the polywog Clar
ence and although he is considerably
junior to Dan and the two cats, we
have decided that he shall have equal
rank and precedence with Ignatz the
turtle.
We are deeply interested in our city
water supply, and are now on the look
out for an eel.

Mr.. Laird will take office on June

overwork.
His health has improved very much
in the last few months and he was able
to so through the trying days of the
last session of the Legislature without
loss of strength so that he and his
friends believe he will be able to
serve on the commission again without
danger. His duties will be lighter than
they were as he will not be chairman
