The Daylight Saving plan, which will
go into effect on theEmorning of Easter
Sunday, will work smoothly, automa-
ticslly and without jar, at practically
all points, provided each Individual does
his part in the general maneuver. That
part is simple in the case of ninety-nine
persons out of one hundred. The ninety
nine need only set their0clocks an hour
later, the last thing before going to
bed Saturday night.
Those tr jubled with visions of milk
less doorstep on Sunday morning, or of
confusion at trains or meals, must trust
somewhat to the awakeness of each
one of us. The really pulling prob
lens will be settled by specialists.
These men will leave few loose ends.
AS for the public, we trust to human
nature to axe sufficient number of
oversights on the critical morning to
provide an occasional laugh.
We say the critical morning, because
of the well-founded expectation that by
the second day the trifing disturbance
of routine, if any there be, Twill have
ceased. European experience reas-
sures us that this will not be leap in
the dark

NAVY'S RECORD
Largest Force In the World for
Sea Duty.

The United States Navy has set a
record for the " hole world during the
last year. Never before in the history
of any nation has such a mighty force
tor action on the high. seas been gath
eaed together in such a short time,
without the slightest depreciation in
efficiency.
From North, East, South and West,
from every point Of the compass, the
young men Of the country have rallied
to the call to arms, and Uncle Sam can
justly feel proud of his boys in the
'iirst Inc O, defense"
a short while ago the Navy Depart
ment waived the requirement that men
entering the Naval Service must enlist
for a period of tour years. and the Navy
recruiting authorities were authorized
fos the duration of the war only.
The special need now is for Appren-
tice Seamen.
Many of the young men who enlisted
last spring in the Aviation Branch from
Maryland are now in France, doing &C
tive esrvice near the battle front.
There is still an opportunity for men
of the draft age to enlist in the Navy
or Naval Reserves. The Naval Reserve
offer unusual opportunities for am
bilious men at this time.
Full particulars of Navy enlistments
can be obtained from the nearest post
master; directly from the Navy Re-
crulting Station Calvert and Lexing-
tor Streets, Baltimore, or from the
Navy Recruiting Substations at Cum
berland and Hagerstown.

Ten Garford army trucks from Lima.

Saturday last. Hitherto these truck
trains have been passing over the
Lincoln highway from Detroit, Cleye-

cities but the Lincoln highway is not so
good for motoring as the National pike,
hence the latter thorougefare is being
made use of for such deliveries.

DR.. Percival Lantz, of Alaska, lead
ing physician of Mineral county, W.
Va, died Tuesday morning at POS
o'clock at the South Baltimore Eve, Ear
and Throat Hospital of acute nephritis,
aged AZ years. DR.. Lantz suffering
from breakdown, the result of over
work entered the hospital on March
13. He was a hard working practi-
toner with bigness of heart and he
did not know what it was to tire. He
eyer answered calls regardless of from
whom they came, or when or where,
and he broke down in the heyday of
his career. His passing will be deeply
mourned by the whole countryside for
many miles. He looked upon life
optimistically and there never was q
country practitioner who was more
popular or who relieved more suffering
and distress, and so often when their
was no hope of pecuniary reward. DR..
Lantz spent last summer with his
family at Mountain Lake Park.

business, and place places where such
business is to be carried on. and on or
before the first day of July annually there
after. and pay special taxes as follows:
importers, manufacturers, producers or
compounders. S24 per annum: wholesaj.
dealers. $12 per annum: retail dealers. IS
per annum; physicians, dentists. veterinary
surgeons. and other practitioners lawfully
entitled to distribute, dispense, give away
or administer any of the aforesaid drugs to

lations of this section.
