The altering of the city council rec

years ago. AS usual the chief GRIM

These are busy days with the Empty

have been working hard the past few
weeks to fill the stockings of the poor
children and to gladden. their hearts
at Christmas.
The work is almost completed, and
Miss Adele Randall, chairman of the
Capital to say there were 1926 toys re-
ceived and to be distributed, and
some s42.62 in money! including the
offering at St Anne's, and donations
in money from the Naval Academy
Chapel
The Empty Stocking Club feels es-
pecially grateful to the children of
the Naval Academy for their most
generous donation of toys, dolls and
money to be gifts to the poor children
and to cheer their hearts at Christmas
time.
1t is especially marked this year,
that after a careful investigation by
the club members, the police, the An
napolis Health and Social Welfare
Association, there are nearly 200 fewer
poor families to be given to this year
than last, due to the fact of fathers
being employed, work in abundance,
with good wages, having been found
in Annapolis, the Naval Academy and
at Camp Meade

men of the State, and in part was as
follows:
I'VE unanimously declare that we
are proud to serve under your exalted
leadership in the struggle to curb and

tocracy. and to make the world safe
for democracy"
We pledge our efforts for the per-
iod CT the war to produce and con-

not be bad idea for the firemen at

get out their hose and flush the

would get rid of some of the snow

AS her voice faltered when she re-
called with all its vividness the
cruelty of treatment dealt out to these
ladies, she was asked by one of her
hearers how she ever endured it all
and at her age, too. She said: "lf
we are going to be shipwrecked we
see only the perils, not ourselves. /
forgot myself when confronted with
the indignities heaped upon my fell
low suffragettes, but / never thought
American women could be brutalized
in such manner under the American
flag"
She told of the horrors of two kinds
experienced by these ladies horrors
mental and horrors physical.
After giving in detail description of
punishment inflicted on some of the
women arrested with her, of the
humiliation and degradation of it all
at the hands of the brutal official and
his underlings, Mrs. Noland closed
her story with saying: Ladies, we
were condemned to a prison sentence
on word of mouth of three Commits
sioners of the District, never a writ
ten order, all verbal" and these Coul-
missioners are appointed by higher
power. Three times has the Superin-
tendent been before an investigating
committee on charge preferred by the
/ suffragettes upon whom he is alleged
to have inflicted indignities. and
three times has his case been white
I washed" but the matter is to be
taken up again.
Before the meeting was adjourned
the following resolutions were passed +:
Resolved, That this meeting call
upon President Wilson and the Demo
cratic Administration to give effect
