ASKS MORE WORK OF
INAUGURAL Committees
Col. Harper Chides Members fol
Apathy in Arranging Details.

High officials in inaugural circles are
frowning. And their frowns carry a
meaning. Beware, Mr.. Member of any
subsidiary committee.
Col Robert N. Harper declared yester-
day afternoon that he has about reached
the limit Of his patience regarding tho
lax manner in which members of com
mittees are performing their duty of at
tending committee meetings. He said
that the last few meetings have been
SO poorly attended that he has become
somewhat discouraged and disguised.
Il don't SEQ how these people can ex-
pect the chairmen of their committees to
do all Of the work. but from their tao
tics 1t would seem that they do expect
this. We put them on the committee to
lend hand in the big work to be ac-
complished If we hope to give President
Wilson a real inaugural but they don't
seem to grasp the situation. hope that
hereafter committee members will re-
spond to the call OF their respective
chairmen and attend their meetings." he
said.
Plan to Avoid Conflict.
Col. Harper and Gen. Carol Devol met
Senator Overman yesterday morning and
arrangements were made so that the
inaugural committees program of March
8 Will not conflict with Congressional
services
The committee on local transportation
met yesterday morning and plans were
decided upon which will make 1t very
difficult for drivers of unmetered vehicles
to impose unreasonable rates on their
passengers during inaugural season.
Police regulations will be effected to
take care of this nuisance.
1t is expected that the legislative com
mittee will ask Congress for the privi-
lege of using the old city hall and the
present courthouse as quarters for the
State troops that will be here for the
celebration.
Flood Lighting suEgested.
Tentative plans were made by Chair
man GUIDE of the illumination committee
at meeting held yesterday morning for
the lighting of Pennsylvania avenue. 10
was suggested that flood lighting be
centered around five courts and that COL
ored lighting effects be used from one
court to another. The suggestion was
adopted and thorough Investigation Of
the plan will be made as soon as pos
sible.

The Public Nerve When
1t Comes to Trespassing

Much complaint has been made of
late by owners of private property
upon which the general public has
been trespassing on the bathing
shores.
1t would appear the aforesaid G. p.
has no respect for private property
or its. owners.
Day after day this summer the
property of Mr. Charles d. Ridout on
the bay shore at Severn Bluff, East
port, has been made public bathing
ground.
Large parties, entire families and
groups of strange people have used
Mr. Ridout's shore to battle. some of
them dressing and undressing in the
bushes, much to the annoyance of the
owner and his family.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Ridout has
had signs posted that this was ''pri-
vate property" the bathers have
paid no attention to the signs. and
even hang their clothes on the signs
instead of on the proverbial hickory
limb.
Bathing parties recently have also
trespassed upon the private property
at Hillsmere. and other private bath
ing shores near the city.

WILL ASK $3.50, 100000
TO BUILD DESTROYERS
Daniels VIII Urge the House Commit
tee to Appropriate That Amount
To Enlarge Yards

Secretary Daniels viii appear before
the House Naval Committee this week
to ask for an appropriation of $780,
900 900 for destroyers to make the
American Navy leader of the world in
this type of war vessels.
The contracts already awarded for
destroyers tax the existing capacity pf
American shipyards for this character
of work. A number of yards have al
ready increased their facilities. To
carry out the plan for the construe-
ton of more destroyers it will be nee
essary to make further enlargements
and also increase the existing faclii-
ties for the construction of engine
machinery and boilers.
The number of destroyers being built
and proposed is not being disclosed
by the Navy Department for military
reasons.
All the information in the possess
sion of the General Board of the Navy
and of the Office Of the Chief of 0per-
ations shows that the destroyer is the
..deadliest weapon that has yet been
fused against the submarine and that
much more effective work could be
done if more destroyers were avail
able.
New destroyers will be delivered so
rapidly, beginning early next year,
that the supply of trained officers and
men will be taxed in putting them into
commission. Means for training new
crews will have to be expanded pro-
portionately

Turtles LONG sleen.

The cold-blooded creatures hiber.
nate. Snakes knot themselves up I'M
der log or rock; toads. wood frogs
and tortoises push down in the soft
earth; mud turtles and water frogs
bury themselves in the bottom OF
shallow streams and ponds. They all
sleep until hunger wakes them, and
the first thing they do in the spring
Is to hunt for a good meal
If you want to see something hiber-
nate it is easy to keep box .ortoise
or a water turtle all winter in box
of earth and moss with pan of water
at one side.
Before they go TO sleep don't forget
TO feed them every two or three days
bits of raw meat or earthworms. They
do not care to eat every day and are
able to go long time without food.
A box tortoise which a boy has had
in the house for two years went to
sleep the first winter just as though
he were out In the cold. but the sec
ond winter he only took short maps
and had become so tame he would eat
out of the hand.-From the Church

Harold Lockwood at
Colonial Tomorrow

Harold Lockwood in a splendid pic
turization of Clarence B. Kelland' 5
popular novel 1.-THE Hidden Spring"
will he the very pleasing attraction
at the Colonial Theatre tomorrow
evening. This is feature photodrama
which has both brains and Drawn
and a good love story for extra meas.
ure. 1t has not only physical courage
but moral courage as well, of the kind
that moulds character and builds COM
munities. Each man during his life
time comes to place where he must
choose between inclination and stern
necessity. Harold Lockwood as Dom
aid Keeth in 1.-THE Hidden Spring"
comes to that place, and the way in
which he settles his problem makes a
big theme for this excellent story.
Lockwood pictures are noted for their
beauty and this one especially abounds
in wonderful scenery. This wonderful
story of moral courage and the great
outdoors, depicting life in and near an
Arizona mining camp is truly pleas
ing and entertaining picture.

Nothing approaching the rapidity Of
action, variety of tone and color, tune
fulness of score, or hypnotism Of
dance numbers, with which the new
piece is said to abound, has even be-
fore, it is averred, graced the musical
comedy field The two drolls, as all
the world knows, are even now in
their cartoon manifests making war
mad kings laugh amid all their trOu-
bles Also, as all the world knows, in
print and on the stage the immortal
pair have made the masses throughout
the world roar. In their newest me-
dunn their inspired author has hit a
happy subject for their antics and the
way they whirl through its nonsense
and gayety is said TO be a panacea of
all ennui. Songs that you sing in
your sleep and dances that wake you
up, is the way one of the announce
ments heralding the play reads.
Overland reports say the melody and
terpsichore of the production are not
too fulsomely described.

TYPHOID CASES
Number Is More This Year Than Last
In The County

Official records show there are 10
more reported cases of typhoid fever
in Anne Arundel county this year than
last, and for every reported case there
are said to be two unreported cases.
The typhoid conditions are quite
serious in the county. In family at
Davidsonville there were five typhoid
cases, the infection said to have come
from the adjoining farm.
Last year this county only had 10
cases, and this year 80 cases have
been reported The necessity for the
anti-typhoid vaccination is being urged
by those in authority, and the typhoid
serum is staid to be free to all who
apply.

Soldiers Have Sore Arms

Don't, if you have any pity, jostle
the left arm of "a soldier lad these
days, either a member of Company NJ,
or the Machine Gun Company. They
all have sore arms, or at least they
should have if their vaccination
"took.
All the members of the local unit of
the National Army have been recently
vaccinsted. and to make bad, worse.
they have today had their second in
lection of serum in the same arm for
the incubation Of typhoid.
While they are not carrying their
arms in sling, yet they are mighty
sore, the arms are. and they are being
made great pets Of these days arms
and the man.

Natures wondrnus WAYS.

One of the most curious of natures
inventions is that of an egg that can't
roll off shelf. 1t is absolutely impor-
tant to a certain species of seabird--
the murre. This feathered creature
builds no nest. but lays its eggs on
narrow shelves of PERCEPTIONS rocks.
Ordinary eggs-those of the domestic
hen, for example. if deposited in such
places, would be liable to roll off and
smash. But the murre's egg Is of such
shape that If disturbed it simply
rolls in a circle. Such being the case.
the female murre experiences no anxi-
ETY.. She could incubate her progeny
on an ordinary mantelpiece and be sat
iSfied of their safety.

LOAFING A FINE ART
ACCOMPLISHMENT HARD TO ONE
NOT BORN TO 1T.
Everyone Should Set Apart Some
Time for Absolute Reiaxstion-is
Woman's Secret of Peren-
niaI Youth.

Most of US need a spell OF loafng
NOW and then. but few of US know
how to loaf Indeed ! don't think
1t would be at all bad idea TO holo
classes in loafing all over this nus
Ting country of ours, says writer In
the Rehoboth Sunday Herald. II
comes so hard to any one who isn't
born a loafer-and the born loafer
doesn't count He exaggerates what
should be a recreation, and occasion
al Indulgence, into a habit, thereby
spelling both life and loaf. and incl
dentally throwing an excellent thing
into bad repute.
No one who wouldn't rather work
than loaf is in actual need OF loafing,
but there are really few of us who
don't prefer working at something,
useful or useless, to doing nothing.
And he or she who loves work most
requires to learn loafing.
) You can't loaf properly il you are
worrying over negected work or an
ticipated work to come. You must be-
gin to loaf in your mind first of all,
letting 1t work from inside out. until
you are loafng all over. Just sitting
around and not working isn't loafing
| have seen a woman waiting in the
reception room of an Office till her
turn came to go in to the hallowed
precincts beyond, sitting there tense
with work. thrashing things over,
quivering with impatience, wearing
herself out to no purpose at all. Now,
IL she had studied the art of loafing,
she would have had fine, refreshing
half hour and enjoyed herself thor
oughly besides.
When you loaf you must be filed
with sense of utter peace, a COM
plete escape from the least notion of
labor of any sort, a deep content in
the large leisure of the hour. No
| faintest desire to make time pass
must be allowed an entrance. Loaf
and invite your SOUL" goes the say
| ing, but 1t is rather your soul that in
vites you 1t takes you into the re-
| gions of eternity, where time is not,
and gives you splendid idle dreams
and surrounds you with vast spaces.
What good is there in that? Hard
] ly one American woman gets enough
of It, We may be idle, many of us,
but we don't know how to loaf Yet
loafing of the right sort creates calm
| of the spirit, composure of the body,
eminently good for us. Into our
crowded, nervous lives it breathes
sweetly, as might the piping Of a
shepherd from vanished Already. A
spell of loafing will take the knots
and snarls out of your nervous sys-
tenn as nothing else can. 1t will soothe
your irritability and restore your equi-
| librium
woman who cultivates the art OF
| loafing as one of her possessions will
be mistress of the secret of peren-
NAL youth. Even when she is work
| ing her hardest the soothing influence
| OF her just loafing indulgence will ex-
tend its balm over her, keeping off
| the fidgets, giving her sense of
breadth and ease.
You can loaf but five minutes or
five months. according to circum-
stances and necessity. 1t isn't ques-
ton of time, but state of being. But
| acquire the power to do it when you
need it, and life will be a brighter
thing to you.

PLAZA

The sixth and last episode, of '"The Germans Retreat at the Battle of the Arras' will be shown at the Plaza the first half of the current week commencing with today's matinee. The last episode is one of the most thrilling of the series and will un- doubtedy draw large crowds who make the most of opportunities af- forded them of seeing actual scenes of fighting on the battle front.
 The Uneeda Girls, a merry whirl of song, dance, humor and girlish charm, vii be the headline vaudeville at- traction. The act is magnfdcently staged with special effects and the costumes displayed by the girls are really stunning. It Is as good a girl act as Bridgeport has been treated to in months.
 Gilmore and Castle, a pair of black face entertainers with some original repartee, and Ad1on and company in a, novel juggling diversion are worthy bookings.
 A screamingly funny "rube" char acter offering in the hands of Keane and Williams completes the vaude- vile arrangement.
 "A Case at law" a most conpell- ing dramatic triumph, with Dick Ros- son, should be rated as 8 favoFite feature of the bilL
