Everybody tried to get out at once.
The car that came to Admiral Tuesday
at noon from Baltimore was SO crowd
ed that the passengers were literally
damned.
And when they made a rush for the
exits, some heading for the rear and
others for the front, the rusult was
that nobody made any progress at ALL
Two colored soldiers hit upon a
scheme whereby they thought they
would make q speedy escape from the
crowded car. They raised one OF the
windows. Holding on the seat, one OF
the fellows started to get out. But
The vigilant conductor spied the pro-
ceedings and quickly notifed the more
vigilant military. police guard at the
station. And
The guard. remembering his training
in the use of the bayonet. very skill
fully jabbed the colored soldier with
the prickly end OF the instrument Re-
ault--a loud howl and legs and arms
disappeared inside the car.
Take notice-those who desire to

FEW WORKMEN REMAIN
ON DUTY AT CAMP MEADE
Contract for Completion of Canton
ment Expires Here
Today.

According to contract, the work IN
the construction of Camp Meade will
be completed today.
For the past week or more the
number Of workmen at the canton
ment has been decreasing, until now
the great army Of laborers. mechanics.
carpenters. plumbers, etc, whose work
made the construction Of the camp pos
sible in such q short period Of time.
has been reduced to a mere handful.
Camp Meade. covering an area OF
thirteen square miles, including with
in its confines 1000 buildings, with the
exception of q few minor details yet to
be finished, is now a military camp
complete in every way, a modern city
in the way of improvements and con-
veniences.
Some Interesting Facts.
There are some interesting facts
about Camp Meade which the casual
observer does not consider. Briefly
they are these:
Camp Meade covers 5000 acres of
land, or an area of about thirteen
1t will comfortably house 10000 SOL
diers.
It has 1913 steam heating plants and
5000 stoves.
1t required 45.0Oo.o00 board feet to
erect the buildings.
1t has $4,000 miles OF water and sewer
piping.
It uses 100000 gallons of water
1t has four fire stations.
It has twenty miles OF foadways, eight
of which are of concree construction.
Laundry Of Large Capacity.
1t has a laundry which could do all
the work Of Baltimore's laundries COM
bined.
It uses about 5000 tons of, coal
monthly.
1t has its own refrigerating plant.
Its bakery turns out 10000 pounds OF
bread daily.
It's lighting system requires $4,000
electric lights.
With these facts in mind. one can
imagine what colossal feat of en-
cheering skill the cantonment Is. The
camp Is arranged like the letter u.
so that it is very easy to block of the
locations Of the various companies and
regiments.

NOTED SURGEON TOEACLES LODGE TO
LECTURE In CAPE Give DIAMOND AWAY
DR.. F. T. Murphy TO Tell of Oper-
atiOns on Europe's
BattlefieIds.

Dr.. Fred T. Murphy, chief surgeon
at Washington University, st. Louis,
has been asked by the local medical
society 10 give a lecture on surgery
some time this spring and relate his
experiences while visiting some of the
leading hospitals in Europe. 1t is
planned to have the lecture illustrated
by StereOpticon views.
The Instructions vii, be merely pro-
teTsional in c.le4. - slow the sur
geons and physicians of the Cape the
progress made by the medical profess
sion in Europe during the great war.
The lecture would be principally con-
fined to plastic work in surgery and
in the manufacture Of artificial limbs
and in the use of the medical articles.
Leading physicians and surgeons
contend that the European war has
been Of a wonderful ail to medical
science and has advanced the med1cal
profession the world over.
1t has been pointed out that the
most renowned surgeons mad physi-
clans If France and Germany have
been forced by the numerous emer-
gencies cases presented to them dur
ing the war to forge ahead Of their
time. Artificial limbs almost as good
as natural arms and legs have been
produced.
Many soldiers who lost their arms
Or legs in battle have been supplied
with new artificial limbs, replaced so
that the soldiers have been
able to return to the front.
Dr.. Murphy spent a year in Europe
the hospitals in which the
most sensational operations were per-
formed. He was given a years fur
.ough by the Washington University
and has been leeturing on his expe-
riences since his return to the United
States.

BAUER BROS. BACK HOME
Have Installed Additional Breal-Bak-
ing Machinery In New Building.

Work has again been resumed by
the Bauer Bros. in their reconstructed
bakery on Broadway. New machinery
has been installed in the modern bake
shop and the test given Tuesday morn
ing proved very satisfactory. New
additions have been added to the old
machines and the Bauer Bros announce
that they are in a position to serve
their patrons even better than before.
The output of the bakery has been
increased owing to the installment of
modern machinery, and as a conse-
quence, the out-of-town trade can be
given more attention.
Several months ago the old bakery
was damaged by fire. The building
had been SO badly damaged by the
flames and the water that the owners
decided to erect a new building in its
place. The work was begun imre-
diately, but it was delayed by the bad
weather. The new building is much
larger than the old one and for that
reason the bakers were in a position
to install additional machinery that
was made necessary by the Increase
Of f1eir business.
