Something Soft.
I'd love to be an amateur,
1t surely must be great
| would not be a simon pure,
But as Il ilrst-class amateur
I'd surely play my hand
Reformsrs would not worry me,
They could not make me sore;
For would get the do, re, mi,
I'd just accept 1t silently,
And let the knockers roar.
A fellah who's an amateur,
Has always got rep
II he keeps mum he may be sure,
His standing will be quite secure
And no enc will set hep.
Tom Cowler is . tough nut. lie hits
the floor harder than any OF them,
Fred Fulton doesn't believe in send
Ing notes, He hands out his wares
with a grapevine left.
Connie Mack recently dropped two

Athletics nobody would have guessed

There is no truth in the report that
Jimmy Johnson the fight manager, is
proud of Tom Cowler.
Philadelphia may win no pennants
this season but she has the distinc
ton Of housing a model murder and
fostering football team that lost the
first game OF 1917.
In the Pest League.
The friendly house fly is a pest,
He always keeps me aWattin'.
I've cussed collectors with a zest,
A hundred times, forgotten.
The price OF hen fruit wrecks my
nerves
And Christmas gets my nanny.
The beefsteak that the waiter serve,
Makes me say things uncanny.
Insurance agents run me bugs,
Yet | would never boiler
If fight promoters had their mugs
Closed UP above the collar.

MARYLAND TO AID MIR. HOOVER.
Canning Experts Called To Assist
ance OF Government In
Solving Food
Problem,

To provide food for 100000 or
100000 United States soldiers and
sailors for the starving population
of Belgium and for hundreds of
thousands of soldiers of our Allies is
big job. But it is being done in
Washington by Herbert G. Hoover
and one of Mr.. Hoover's chief assist
ants is Maryland man. The Mary
lander is Frank E. Gorrell, of Bel
Air, secretary of the Maryland Can
ners' Association. The headquarters
of this association has been in Wash
ington for a long time.
Immediately after taking charge
of the food situation, Mr.. Hoover
availed himself of the organization
Of the National Gamers Association
in the distribution of contracts for
canned foods, and Mr.. Gorrell has
been on the job since. The National
Gamers Association, therefore, thru
it's organization, and thru it's finely
equipped research labratory in
Washington, has been of invaluable
aid in mobilizing food supplies for
the United States and our Allies
needs. Another Maryland man whose
advice is always sought in the matter
of canning and canned goods, is H.
P. Strasburg, of Aberdeen, secretary
and treasurer of the Maryland Can
ners' Association. Mr.. Strasburg
has spent much time in Washington
since the outbreak of the war, giving
valuable suggestions as to means of
best preserving the vegetables of the
country that they may be provided
for our soldiers and sailors during
the coming winter Mr.. Strasburg
knows the last word in the canning
industry.

TO ELIMINATE AUTO DEATH
TRAPS.
Pennsylvania Railroad Will Furnish
Funds To Construct Short
Section OF New
Road.

Chairman Zouck of the State
Roads Commission has about COM
pleted negotiations with the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, under
which the latter has agreed to con-
tribute sufficient money, about $780,
900, to build cutoff road V miles
in length, in connection with the
State road between Perryville and
Elkton, by which motorists would be
able to avoid the death-trap bridges
over the railroad between these two
points, and will shorten the route be-
tween these two towns mile and a
half. The cutoff will be located be-
tween Principle Furnace and North
East
There are two bridges over this
railroad which is part of the
Pennsylvania system, near Charles
town. One is known as Heisler's,
and is north of ChaMestown; the
other is known as Weaver's, and is
south of the town.
In speaking of the dangerous
character of the bridges, for motor
traffic, Chairman Zouck, said:
t'These bridges were erected by the
Pennsylvania Railroad when the
road was a county one. I under
stand that they were built in accord
ance with plans which were approved
by the County Commissioners of
Cecil county. The approaches to
these crossings, as we'll as the cross
ings themselves, are maintained by
the Pennsylvania Railroad. The ap-
proaches are very sharp and are at
about right angles with the railroad
crossings. They were all right for
horse-drawn, slowly moving traffic,
but they are very dangerous for a
machine moving faster than Is miles
an hour.
Necessary danger signals and
skull and cross-bones are painted on
each of these bridges in order to
warn the travelling public of their
danger. Every precaution has been
taken to warn strangers of these
dangerous crossings"

Kent Island As A Proving Ground

Kent Island AS "A PROVING Ofounu.
Secretary of War Baker has
strongly recommended the appro-
priation of Kent Island as proving
ground, despite the organized protest
of the inhabitants of that Island and
counties adjoining. Congressman
Linthicum has recommended to Cen
eral Crozier of the War Department,
a site bounded by the Bush and Gun
powder rivers. General Crozier ad-
mitted that this would be most suit
able because of it's excellent railroad
facilities, which would save the
government an enormous expendi-
ture of money, as the Kent Island
site would involve very heavy ex-
penditures for railroad facilities. 1t
is possible that the Maryland dele
CATION will eventually unite in body
in urging the Bush and GunpoWder
River site in lieu of Kent Island.

TIME IN VISIT To CAPITOL To
URGE CONGRESS AGAINST WAR

passed. The police arrived in time to
prevent hostilities. The meeting in the
hall was interrupted by word that
President Wilson was to address the
congress shortly and the crowd made
for the canitol again.
This time they let it be known that
they were not going to demonstrate, so
the police allowed them to stand on
the steps at the house side. There
they remained until it was announced
that the president would not appear
until o'clock.
Arran - nents were made quietly for
holding at once the mass meeting that
had been sche filed for tonight so the
delegates could be at the capitol when
the president arrived.
Speakers at the meeting urged the
maintenance of peace.
The plans of the pacifists were so
delayed, that their mass meeting was
not in ~-ogress until Just before the
president went to the capitol. Several
thousand persons gathered in the hall.
! Disorder threatened on several occas-
| ions. but the police. reinforced by
armed national guardsmen managed to
hold the jeering cltwd in check.
The meeting adopted set of resolu
! ton, protesting vigorously against war
and urging the appointment of joint
high commission to settle the issues
with Germany.
A portion of the crowd discouraged
at Convention hall by the police
marched to the headquarters of the
Emergency Peace Federation later in
the night and after threatening to
wreck the place if signs that offep3e
them were not removed, started a FREQ
for all fight. 1t was stopped quickly by
the police.
AS soon as the pacifists began to ar
rive today they were sent to Capitol
Hill by their leaders and told to see the
senator's and Representatives from their
home states. The capitol and the house
and senate office buildings literally
swarmed with them for several hours.
1t was during this period that Bann-
wart and several assistants called at
the office of Senator Lodge.
Senator Lodge, Senator Weeks and
others who saw the encounter say
/ Bannwart struck first at the conclu-
: sion of a volley of remarks in which
+ Bannwart called the senator damned
coward" and the senator replied: You
are a liar"
Bannwart denied emphatically he had
hit Senator Lodge first, saying: q had
no idea he was going to strike me He
Just hauled off and hit me as hard as
he could Then a half dozen fellows
had a fine time trying to finish me ~
That MESSENGER boy had an especially
good time. I hope 1 don't have to go
to Jail. Why if I had hit Senator Lodge
first I wouldn't have a leg 10 stand
on"
The Arizona man who attacked
Pannwart after the latter's fight with
Senator Lodge was Ward Davies .
immigration field agent of the Casa
Grande chamber of commerce. He was
AT the caritol to see congress convene
and happened to be passing Senator
Lodges office.
