.CURFEW ORDINANCE
CASE IS CONSIDERED
Mayor Strange Sits As Juvenile
Court For First Time And
Gives Advice To Parent
PENALTIES MAY FOLLOW

Mayor Strange heard his first case
yesterday morning, sitting as judge of
the Juvenile court, established under
the recently passed Curfew Act. In
view of the desire that as little be
done as possible to mortify and humil-
late the principles in such cases,
names will not be given publicity, but
girl and her mother were brought
before the Mayor as the result of an
incident seen by Mis- Isabelle McNas-
by, special officer. Wednesday night.
A girl about IA years of age, was
seen by Miss McNasby about 9:15
that night, talking with several men
on West street She was warned to
go home by the officer, who accom-
panied her, and she was reported to
her mother, who said she had tried to
keep her daughter off the streets.
Both were directed to appear before
the Mayor yesterday morning, and did
so.
In conformity with the spirit of the
ordinance, and it being first offense.
Mayor Strange did not think it advis-
able to impose fine, but he explain
ed the ordinance to both of them, and
warned them that they must follow it
or penalties would be imposed. This,
the mother and daughter promised to
do. 1t is believed that this will be
an effective warning in the matter. 1t
is the determination of the authorities
that there is to be no letting up in the
enforcement of the ordinance.
In one case, where the presence of
a child on the streets was reported to
mother, the latter excused it, by
saying that she had sent the child on
an errand. In fact, the impression
prevails in some quarters that the or
dinance may be violated on these
grounds. This is entirely wrong. No
parent, or anyone else can permit a
child to violate the ordinance. OF
course, cases of exereme necessity
might arise where it could not be
helped. but, ordinarily, children must
not be allowed to violate the city law
for any such reason. 1t can readily
be seen, that to permit it would null
lily the whole ordinance, as every
child who violated it. would plead this
excuse The authorities wish parents
to take warning that they must not
send the children out, or permit them
to go on afer 9 o'clock

FOOTBALL ADVISORS
MEET IN BALTIMORE
Coach Wilson Win Insist That Sched-
ules viii Not Be Smashed For
Johns Hopkins

Coach John Wilson, of the St Johns
College football team, went to Balti-
more today to confer with the other
coaches of Maryland institutions, in
Guiding Byrd, of Maryland State; Tur-
ner, of Western Maryland, and Stew
art, of Johns Hopkins, the subject of
special interest being the rearrange-
ment OF schedules, occasiooned by
Hopkins late entrance to the game
Coach Wilson is strongly inclined
not to give up the game which has
been arranged to be played in Balti-
more on Thanksgiving Day with State.
His position is that everything possi-
BILE was done to keep Hopkins in the
game, and that dates with other insti-
tutions were fixed only when Hopkins
said absolutely it would not play foot
ball this season. He feels that Hop
kins should not ask other institutions
to upset their plans at this time.
The st. Johns Coach is willing to
play Hopkins on the 18th of the pres
ent month, and has a plan for a sched-
ule which will permit all the Mary
land colleges to meet, the last game
being November 80. He will urge this
schedule instead of the Hopkins plan
to call of the St John's-State game,
arranged to. be played in Baltimore on
Thanksgiving Day.

LACK OF HEAT CLOSES
STANTON (COL.) SCHOOL
Principal OvertOn Asks Patrons OF
COlOred School To Be
COnsiderate

G. W. B. Overton, principal of Stan
ton colored school, makes the follow
ing statement:
ION account of the heating condi-
ton, there will be no school at the
colored school until further notice.
The plant is entirely out of the build
ing, and because of the uncertainty of
the time of completion, no definite time
can be named The Board has done
all it can to have it ready, and will
soon investigate the delay
I'VE ask the people to be consid-
crate and not blame the janitor,
teachers, and the supervisors because
of the enforced condition. The Su-
pervisor thought it best to take no
chance on permitting the children's
health to be impaired.
Sufficient stoves to heat the build
ing cannot be secured, hence the gen.
eral dismissal of all grades. Proper
announcement will be made when
school will resume. The total amount
of school days will be provided for
during the year.
Please don't stop the teachers on
the streets and hold them up for an
explanation, because they can only tell
what has been published"

GAS MASK DAY
OBSERVED TOMORROW

Governors of the different States
have been requested by the Chemical
Warfare Service of the U. S. Army to
proclaim Saturday, November 8, as
Gas Mask Day"
Governor Harrington calls the at
tention of the people to the need of the
government at this time to save many
tons of the raw material from which is
made the charcoal that is placed in the
Gas Masks worn by those in service,
and which will best absorb the poison
Gus gases sent against them by the
enemy,
The Governor says:
1--WE are informed that the losses by
gas are greater than those by the
guns of the enemy, and even when
death does not ensue the effects are
much more horrible than wounds in
fiicted by shells"
He calls upon the people of Mary
land to observe Saturday as Gas
Mask Day." and to assist in collecting
and saving fruit pits, nut shells, peach
pits, or seeds, plum pits and nut
shells, plum pits, apricot pits, prune
pits, date seeds, olive nuts (whole), or
the shells of these nuts (not the outer
husks or shells), not only on that day
but every day thereafter until the need
of them has passed. The local Chap
ter Red Cross in every community will
make arrangements for the collection
or caring for these shells

TWO FOOTBALL GAMES
| ON TOMORROW'S CARD
Nava Academy Plays Naval
Operating Base Team; Rife
Range Opposes Edgewood
ST. JOHNS AND P. M. c.

There will be two games of football
in Annapolis tomorrow, the Midship-
men opposing the eleven of the Naval
Operating Base, Hampton Roads.
while the Rife Range Team will inaug-
urate football on their own grounds
by playing against the representatives
of the Edgewood Arsenal. st. Johns
will go TO Chester, Pa, where they
line up against the Pennsylvania Mil
itary College, an old. and much re-
gerded enemy
On the whole the Academy will have
a stronger team in the field than in
any previous contest this season, in
spite of the fact that injuries have
put three good backfield men out of
the game this week. Roberts sprain-
ed his shoulder and Coombs was
kicked in the leg on Wednesday, in
juries being inflicted in each case
which will keep the recipient out of
the game for some time. Orr, who
was the most promising candidate for
quarter, turned his ankle on Tuesday,
and will hardly play. However, back
field material is abundant on Dobi's
squad, and, with the return of Captain
Ingram and Butler to the game, and
with Clark, Severn, Benoist, Alvord
and Rawlings still available, the back
field should be quite strong.
The Academy line is intact, and will
start as follows: Left end. Snively;
left tackle, Scaffe; left guard, Saun-
ders; center, Arthur; right guard,
Perry; right tackle, King; right end,
Even. There has been little change
in the forwards during the season.
The Rife Rangers have a strong
team, and they have been working
faithfully. Their record, so far this
season, consists of a defeat by the
Baltimore Naval team, and decisive
victory over the Glen Burnie team,
which then proceeded to turn the table
on the Baltimoreans, an incident which
however, is not infrequent in foot
ball The material is undoubtedly
good, and the performances of this
team for the remainder of the season
may be watched with interest
The eleven of the Great Lakes
Training Station. which will oppose
the Midshipmen on November 23rd,
plays Notre Dame, at South Bend, Ind,
tomorrow.

ST. MARY'S CHIMES
HERALD GOOD NEWS
Bells In st. Mary's Steeple The First
To Ring Out The Glad Tidings OF
Peace Yesterday Afternoon

Among the very first to ring out on
the afternoon air the glad tidings of
peace yesterday afternoon were the
beautiful chimes on st. Mary's Church,
Duke of Gloucester street.
At all times of service these chimes
which are the only chimes in the city,
have the sweetest sound, but never did
they sound more musical than yester-
day afternoon when for ten minutes
they rang the glad tidings of the
armistice having been signed and Ger
many having accepted the terms of
surrender, which news had come over
the wire, and made all hearts glad.
St Mary's congregation is one of
the most patriotic in the city, and has
accomplished great things in all de-
partments of War Work during the
period of the worlds war.

SMILES" HELD UP
OVER AN HOUR
BY CAMERA MAN
People To Number Of 1,500 Wait
At State House To Get In
Overseas Movie
SCHOOL CHILDREN
IN THE PICTURE
Delay Due To Break Down, Does
Not Dampen Ardor Of Good
Natured Crowd

/ Because they wore the smile that
won't come off" was the reason, that
after waiting for more than an hour
to have the picture made, the crowd
of some 1900 were able to smile for
the movie man of the Baltimore Sun
who is making MILES of Smiles" to be
sent overseas for Christmas entertain
ment of the soldier boys.
Scheduled to arrive at 10 a. IN. the
automobile with the moving picture
machine did not arrive until after IL
O'Clock and then had to be towed into
the city. There had been a break
down, something not unusual to
gasoline buggies these days, and this
caused the delay The crowd would
have probably numbered 1000 had
they waited but after standing on one
foot then another, and initiating the
crane and the stork until weary with
the standing, many went home before
the arrival of the movie man.
The Naval Academy Band played pa
triotic airs for the entertainment OF
the crowd during the long wait.
After once here, however, it did not
take long to make the picture.
Whether Geography here has so
changed that like that of the map
"Over There" it is at skies and sevens,
is not known for fact, but the points
of the compass were terribly mixed up
this morning, as well as few other
things. and the picture, scheduled for
~wfI 81 IL 0p
Circle, was taken at the Southeast
side
However, the sun had the advant-
tage of this side and so did Taney's
statue, around which many of the
larger school boys were grouped.
st. Mary's School formed an i'm
portant and imposing part of the pic
ture, the children with the Rev.
Father Rector, J. Toohey, c. SIS. r.
and the Sisters of Notre Dame, form
ing group around large portion of
State Circle. The St. Mary's group
carried flags and made a pretty pic
ture, each child smiling his or her
best.
There were groups of the Surgical
Dressings workers in their white uni
form and white wells with Red Cross
insignia, and there were flags galore,
that of the Greeks and Italians being
conspicuous for size and attractive
ness besides Old Glory.
There were babies of all sizes and
compilations, some whose fathers had
never had a glimpse of them ,and will
see them for the first time in this pic
ture. Old people smiled at the camera
and there were white-haired women
who have sons and grandsons across
the seas fighting for Democracy, who
smiled through their tears. q
Some wondered that their smile
after waiting over an hour to have the
picture taken had not turned to a
scowl, but the .'Miles of Smiles made
in Annapolis, was like everything else
this town produces. Great Success.

WIFE OF ADMIRAL
ACCIDENTALLY HURT
Mrs. De Witt Coffman Injured In
Elevator Accident In
Baltimore

Mrs. De Witt Coffman. wife of Poo,
Admiral Coffman, who accompanied
her husband to Baltimore yesterday
ana whose purpose was to visit friends
mere, was prevented by painful acci-
dent while on shopping tour in tha;
city.
She was obliged to go to a hospital
and dinner in her honor at the Bal
timore Country Club at which Lieut
M. A. Leahy was to have been host
was Cancelled.
Mrs. Coffman visited Hutzler's store
and had entered the elevator. when
the car dropped a few feet. The lar
threw her to the floor and her left
ankle was fractured. She was taken
to the Union Protestant Infirmarv
and Admiral Coffman sent for. Sew
eral others in the car at the time
were considerably shaken up, but
not seriously injured.
Much against Mrs. Coffman's wishes
the dinner was called off, but the Ad-
miral and several other naval officers
were entertained at an informal din
ner az the Maryland Club by Lieut.
Leahy Admiral Coffman spent the
night with the former at his home in
Roland Park
The cause of the accident is said
to have been due to a slight defect
in the mechanism, which permitted
the car to slip for a few feet, the fall,
though slight, being sufficient to cause
the occupants of the car to be thrown.
Mrs. Coffman suffered considerable
pain from the fracture and shock, but
her condition is said to be favorable.
and she will shortly be removed to her
home.
