SICILY is LAND OF ROMANCE
Island of Picturesque History Has Pro-
duced Many Men Who lowered
Above Others in Past.

Sicily's history is as vivid and pic
turesque, as ferocious and creative and
destructive, as mythical and intensely
practical as the stories of all the rest
Of the world put together, says M
tional Geographic Magazine And in
beauty of nature, of climate. of man
and of beast the island is a paradise
today. whether or not it was ever the
voorhees,, painless, passiOnless eIysium
where our first ancestors enjoyed all
the good things of life without having
to toll.
Nature itself, now in the guise of the
misunderstood gods Of old, now in con-
WILSON'S or in quiet fertility that sci
ence has made plain TO us, weaves it's
mysterious shuttle through and through
the highly colored fabric. And men
such men tower above their fellows
in the story like Titans: Pindar Aes-
chylus, Theocritus. TEucydides, Archi-
modes, the two great HierOns, Cicero,
Verres. DiodOrus, Hamilcar and Hanni-
bal, Roger the Count and Roger the
King, Belisarius, the great Crusaders
Richard Of the Lion Heart and Louis
the Saint of FraHce-Charles Of An
jon. Frederick II, the wonder of the
World and Garibaldi. Even this par
tial list reads like a compendium of
ancient and medieval romance and
chivalry.

A two-ounce bread ration was or
dered by the Food Administration last
week for patrons of hotels, restau-
rants and dining-cars. This allowance
is about that now observed in Eng
land
kilograms went out to the Food
Administration hotel representatives
in every State designating the new
ration Not more than two ounces of
wheat bread may be served to any
one at any one meal except that when
rolls or bread made from corn, Oat-
meal or bran are served and when
only one kind of other than wheat
bread is ordered a portion may con-
sist of four ounces. Rolls may not
weigh more than / ounce each.
Public eating places are now licens-
ed under the new bread regulations
and the bread ration rule is issued
under this authority. Hotel repTesen-
tatives have been instructed TO see
that immediate observance is given
in hotels for Monday and Wednesday
as wheatless days. Tuesday as meat
less day. and Saturday as a porlzless
day, and that there is one wheatless
meal and one meatless meal every
day

DANCE AT THE ARM0RY
By Request, For Troops AT Saunders
Range Last Night-Dances May
May Be Fortnightiy

At the request of a number Of Off
GERS in charge of the troops al Saund-
ers Range a dance was given at the
State Armory last evening for the
men Of the 23rd Engineers, and a
most enjoyable evening was expert
enced by all who participated. Gov
erRor and Mrs. Harrington graced the
occasion for a short while, looking
on from the gallery al the dancers,
and when their presence was discov-
cred the soldiers gave a rousing
cheer for Marylands Chief Executive
and called for a speech TO which Gov.
Harrington responded in a most feel
ing and fitting manner.
II has always been explained 10 the
/ service men who patroniZe the Recre-
alton Rooms by the men and women
in charge of the rooms, the Cover
nor's act in consenting 10 the use OF
the armory for this purpose just be-
fore leaving to visit his son. Lieut..
Harrington, at Camp Mcclellan, Ala
bama, in the early winter
During his absence the furnishings
and materials were gotten together
! for the various departments and the
Recreation Rooms were in full oper-
alton and filling a real need upon his
return, so that the men who enjoy the
conveniences and privileges offered
by the armOry are very appreciatiye
OF what has been, and is being done
by the Governor and by the commit
tee in charge Just two weeks ago a
dance was given for the men OF the
service, which was attended by those
in all branches OF the service, and it
was found impossible to provide near
ly as many dancing girls for so large
number as were needed. Despite
this fact that many young girls and
matrons who refrain from dancing
during Lent, willingly departed from
this custom TO perform this patriotic
duty last night, and despite the fact
that 1t was for soldiers only there
was still fewer girls than were need
ed TO furnish the men with partners.
It has been suggested that these
dances be given fortnightly, alter
nately for men OF the Army and Navy,
but IL is not known if the committee

GETS GOOD SCORING

A determined effort will be made to
abolish the State Conservation Com
mission. The representatives from
the tidewater counties are extremely
bitter and at the hearing before the
Committee on Chesapeake Bay and its

proposed changes in the law pertain
ing to fish and crabs, but they got
very little encouragement.
A bill is now pending in the Senate,
introduced by Mr. Speicher, which re-
places the Commission with one head,
but the Eastern Shoremen want re-
turn to the old system of being reg
ulated by the Board of Public Works.
They claim that they are being oblig-
ed to pay the expenses of the Com
mission which run into the thouands

by a standing board. What has add
cd to their opposition is the proposed
additional tax of cents on oysters.

used 10 advance the salaries of the
Commissioners. They say the oys-
termen have done nothing all the sea-
son because of the rough weather and
are. therefore. deserving of some con-
sideration They think they can get
what they want from the Board of
Public Works
