Musicians For Navy.

The United States Navy is in need
of musicians.
1t is the desire of the Navy Depart
ment to recruit the bands of all the
fighting ships to their full strength,
and a special appeal is being made
to young musicians all over the coun-
try.
The pay is good-better than that
paid ordinary musicians in civilian
life-and the surroundings of a bands
man aboard ship are pleasant and
agreeable. The advancement leads to a
bandmaster.
Young men with merely a primitive
knowledge of music can enlist in the
Navy at this time and be sent to the
Musicians School, from which they
are transferred to a ship; thus re-
ceiving a complete education in band
music.
Once aboard a man-o'-war, the
young musician is afforded not only
a chance to serve his country at a
critical time, but is enabled to travel
extensively while in the pursuit of his
vocation.
While the Navy recruiting author
tiles at Baltimore. have not been ask
ed to enlist a definite quota of must
clans, they are anxious to see Mary
land maintain her loyal record in the
call for this branch of the service
Minors desiring to enlist in the Navy
in any capacity must present the
written consent of their parents or
legal guardian. Forms for this pur-
pose can be obtained from the post
masters of the State
Full particulars Of Navy enlistments
can be obtained from the nearest post
masters; directly from the Navy Re-
cruiting Station, Calvert and LeXing-
ton Streets, Baltimore, or from the
Navy Recruiting Sub-stations at Cum
| berland and HagerstOwn.

A Letter From Betsy Ross, Hither
to Unpublished.

Dear Girls of Carroll County: 1917
| has come very near to 1776. The Great
War has bridged the years and brought
us so close that | can actually talk tC
you.
Some historians have wasted per
fectly good ink trying to prove Wheth-
er | made the flag or not. Well Ill
settle the matter once and for all.
did, Don't bother too much about
what the historians say. They're al
ways hedged in by mere fact; while
YOU and | are bound only by magma
ton.
1t wasn't such a big piece of work
to make Old Glory-just a few hours
and a few stitches 1t was very small
work compared to that which you are
privileged to do.
Girls, War always brings out our
needles. During the French ReVolu-
ton. you know, the knitting women
sat by the guillotine and counted their
stitches by the severing of heads.
CHASTITY! Yes! But today as you Sit
out on the front porch quietly knit
ting, do you know that for every
stitch YOU make, not one but thousands
of soldier boys are falling over there
on the worlds far-fung battle line.
Of course. some of those who fall
are only wounded. And that's where
our needles come in. Our stitches for
their gashes.
And what are you doing with your
stitches, you who sit reading this let
ter? Oh. yes, | know that sweater
Alice Just wore down the street was
perfectly stunning, wasn't it? Just
the sweetest shade. | do believe it
would be becoming to me-" And so you
bought the yarn and you've started 1t
mo, | don't exactly need it. But then
Mildred across the street has SIX
sweaters and have only five" And so
you haven't stopped to think that your
needle was keeping time to the death
March across the sea.
But you will soon think Of it, because
our own boys will shortly be swelling
the March. What are you going TO 90
about it? Let them die Of their wounds
because you are too busy kmttlnS
gay-colored sweaters-fOr yourself
