COUSIN DIES IN EFFORT
TO SAVE HIS CHILDREN

Mr.. Scott Lane Heffenger and the
Misses Heffenger of Murray Hill, were
shocked to hear of the death of their
cousin, Mr.. John nj. Lane, at Rehoboth
Beach, yesterday morning.
Mr.. Lane and his two sons were
bathing on Monday afternoon, and
the boys being swept beyond their
depth by the breakers, their father
went to their rescue. He brought one
to safety, and started after the other
when he was stricken with heart fail
ure and died while still in the water
Mr.. Lane was treasurer of the
Maryland Surety and Trust Company,
of Hagerstown, and one of the most
prominent figures in banking circles
in his community. He was a vestry-
man of st. Johns Episcopal Church;
treasurer of Hagerstown Y. NJ G. A.,
and member of the Conococheague
Club. He was the son of the late
Charles S. Lane head of the Lane
banking house of Hagerstown and a
grandson of the Rev Dr. Alexander
Magill, for many years president of
the Princeton Theological Seminary
and leading divine in the Presby-
terrain Church in this country His
relatives have the sympathy of the
community in their loss

GIRLS FRIENDLY" HAS
A "CROIX DE GUERRE'

The Girls Friendly Society, of
which Annapolis has a branch, is the
proud possessor of a War Cross won
by Lieut. Walker. q. s. Signal Corps,
in France. and given by him to be
used by the G. F. S. in their booth at
the next Liberty Loan drive" Lieut..
Walkers wife is an Associate of the
Society at the central office in New
York as secretary of the War Emer-
gency committee and the honor of
presenting the cross comes through
her.
Lieut.. Walker was decorated for
personal bravery when he went '.over
the top" with the first wave of the
first American offensive in France and
also for maintaining our lines of COM
munication for fifteen hours under
German fire. He is sending some
trophies taken from his prisoners
which he hopes may be used by the
G. f. S. at their booth for the
Drive The G. F. s., whose object is
the protection of girlhood and young
womanhood, is doing splendid work
with its War Emergency Committee
today as ii has done in other ways
during the forty-four years of its ex-
istence. The Annapolis branch is
realizing its responsibility and meas
uring up TO the standard required in
these troublous times.

SEEING SNAKES CLOSE
TO THE CITY HALL

They are seeing things" down at
the Municipal Building on Duke of
Gloucester street, and despite Annap-
oils being dry town these things
are snakes"
There is no mistake about it, for
the City Clerk avows he saw big
black snake crawl out from under the
building opposite, cross the street and
squirm around. the City Hail. Care
taker Farrell is also a witness to the
fact, and even the Mayor, saw the
creeping, crawling creature of the
dust. An effort was made to kill the
snake but he eluded the city officials,
and squirmed back to his home on the
opposite side of the street, where
there is said to be real home OF
snakes, and that, too, right under the
vigilant eye of the police, custodians
of the five mile dry zone and the
Peace.
