BIG DEVELOPMENT
PLAN FOR NEW ANNEX
Curtis Bays Newly Organized Board
OF Trade GETS Down To Some
Real Improvement Ideas

The newly organized Curtis Bay
Board of Trade has laid out a mans
size job for itself. and it has started
in with a deal of enthusiasm to carry
out its ambitious program. That pro-
gram is nothing less than to have the
entire section from Brooklyn TO Curtis
Bay and Wagner's Point, including
all the territory in Anne Arundel
county recently taken into Baltimore
under the Annexation act, developed
along the lines of modern industrial
communities.
The first regular business meeting
of all the members of the board was
held last night at Firemen's Hall in
Curtis Bay, existing committees
which had been named by the execu-
tive committee were enlarged and
new ones appointed, and charged
with the duty of starting something
right away Things moved along as
if they had been creased.
The organization is hardly a month
old. and is called the Curtis Bay
Board OF Trade" for want OF a better
name. 1t is really not a board of
trade, but a general welfare associa-
ton, and instead of its activities be-
ing confined to Curtis Bay, they take
in all the territory from the end of
Hanover street bridge clear down to
the end of the annexed territory. The
movement was started by +. X. Con-
neely. manager of the Baltimore Car
and Foundry Company, which is a
branch of the Standard Steel Car
Company, of Pittsburgh Mr.. Con-
nicely recently went to Baltimore
from Pittsburgh He called a meet
ing in the Office of his company with
a view to seeing if something could
not be done to improve conditions in
the district and to make it healthy
and liveable. Conditions there now
are generally regarded as shameful.
Hearts of Diamonds" is the title
of the picture to be shown at the Re-
public tomorrow

Loan you subscribe to the sentiment
that the world must be made safe for
democracy and subscribe to the fund
that is to make the world safe for
democracy.
You subscribe to the belief that in
Locent women and children on un-
armed ships shall not be sent to the
bottom of the sea; that women and
children and old men shall not be
ravished and tortured and murdered
under the plea of military necessity;
that nurses shall not be shot for deeds
of mercy, nor hospital ships be sunk
without warning, or hospitals and I'M
fortified cities be bombed or cannon
AIDED with long-range guns.
You subscribe to the doctrine that
small nations have the same rights as
great and powerful ones; that might
is not right, and that Germany shall
not force upon the world the dominion
of her military masters.

America entered this war for just
and noble cause; that our soldiers in

powerful, efficient, and victorious.

CLASS IN ORATORY
IS NOW FORMING

Women who desire to join the class
in oratory and public speaking that
is now being formed, should lose no
time, as the number will be limited.
The class will be organized on Sep
TENDER 3rd, with Miss Anne Rothwell
Stewart, teacher, and details will be
announced later A small fee will be
charged. These classes have been
formed in other cities and towns with
great success, and there are enough
Annapolis women to appreciate the
splendid opportunity offered. The
country needs women at this time, es-
pecially to make short addresses in
public on the issues of the time, on
War Work, the Red Cross, and other
subjects.
Miss Stewart is a graduate of the
Boston College of Expression, and her
work is too well known here at the
recent st. Johns Summer School to
need comment.
Those wishing to join should send in
their names at once 10 Mrs. Weems
Ridout, 81 Cathedral street. The class
is being organized under the auspices
of the Council of Defense, and the
Committee on Educational Propa-
ganda

INCREASED SUPPLY
OF HARD COAL

While there has been a decreased
output in bituminous, there had been
an increase in anthracite. Much aid
has been given the industry by the
Railroad Administration building new
freight cars. American builders, so
far this year, have delivered 1885
cars of all descriptions to the Govern
ment authorities. Most of them went
to the Allies or to the military rail
ways in France. OF this number To-
694 have been coal cars which have
been put into active service in this
territory. Traffic tension has been
eased by this new rolling stock.
This car increase is also good news
for the mine-workers, for they realize
that an increased number of ''empties"
at the mines means the possibility Of
more pay in their weekly envelopes.
Further efforts by the railroads to
stimulate production and distribution
are appreciated by the public. A gov
eminent report shows that a large pro-
portion of the S97, 900 authorized
this year, for construction of new sid
ings and industry tracks, was for
spurs of coal mines. This aids in the
quicker handling. loading and ship
ping of coal to market.
That the car movement has materi-
ally aided production and distribution
is found in reports to A. H. Smith, re-
gional director of railroads for the
Eastern territory. Transportation of
anthracite during last month was T.
0S4,775 gross tons as compared with
6,S57, $50 tons in June 1918, an increase
of 227,106 tons. Last month also
showed an increased tonnage over
July 1917 of S60,52S tons when ship
ments amounted to 6,724,252 tons.
The total shipments for the first
four months of the coal year, April to
July inclusive amounted to 27,20S,073
tons against 26,2S3,113 tons for the
same period of 1917, an increase of
634,960 tons.

In letter sent to the governors of
