MISS RANDALL
THANKS CHILDREN
Wants Them To Help The Sick
Children's Ward At The Emer-
gency Hospital

Miss Kate W. Randall, president of
the Children's Hospital Club of the
Emergency Hospital, sends them the
following letter:
First, want to express my thanks
to the little girls who worked so we'll
for the lawn party at Mrs. Moss. They
made S35 for the hospital in August,
and then l want to remind you all of
the dues to the Children's Club-each
child should save or bring one penny
a week to Miss Randall, who is try
ing to raise a fund to build a new and
larger children's ward. She ought TO
have at least 1000 members among the
children in Annapolis, many of whom
have been benefited by the treatment
so generously given by the Emergency
Hospital, and if these thousand
children would only try and save one
cent a week, if would not be long be-
fore that new building could be put up.
Miss Randall urges you all, every
child in Annapolis, to persevere in
this good work and is sure God will
bless your self-denial."

NAVY DEPARTMENT
CALLS ON WOMEN
Bureau OF Navigation Wants Them
To Take Jobs To Relieve Men
For Service Afloat

Although there are many women
already on duty at the Naval Acad-
envy in clerical positions in the Office
OF various offices a further call
which may see further Introduction
of women there as well as elsewhere
in the service. has been issued by the
Navy Department.
Designed by navy authorities 10 re-
lieve as many men as possible from
shore duty and send them to sea, the
Bureau of Navigation has issued a
call for women TO replace such men
in all positions in which the services
of women can be used.
The call includes women between
the ages of is and S5 years and at
fords an opportunity for patriotic
women to help man the ship of the
navy by doing the work which men of
the service are now doing ashore
II has been suggested by the au-
thorities that all women of the ages
specified desirious of serving their
country apply at recruiting stations
and state their qualifications. Re-
cruiting officers can then determine
whether or not they can be used in
any capacity and if qualified they will
be enrolled in the Naval Reserve as
landsmen for yeomen and assigned to
duty

GLEN BURNIEITES
STILL GUESSING
SWaiting At The Church. Or When Is
A Wedding Not A Weddingl When
The Guests Are Disappointed

A story that is founded on fact has

a wedding that was 10 be, but was not

I pardon repetition.)
The hour for the ceremony arrived.
I but the chief objects, the prospective
bride and groom, did not appear As
/ it is not fashionable to be prompt at
wedding, haste and elegance being
/ incompatible, the wedding guests
I thought nothing of it, but settled them
selves comfortably into their seats in
I the church.
4 Glen Burnie is nothing II not fash
1 ionable, and although weddings are
not an everyday occurrence at this
sprightly bailiwick, they are none the
/ less fashionable.
Another half hour passed. then
/ three-quarters, and still the bridal
party did not appear. Heads began TO
get together, and whisperings could
be heard all over the sacred edifice,
and significant glances exchanged.
An hour after the hour set and still
no bride and groom, and there was
that church that the natives had
turned out to dress in wild flowers,
not to mention roses and palms loan
ed from their homes And what of
the women in the congregation who
had stopped their preserving and
picking to attend the ceremony Of
which there was none.
The Rector had refreshed himself
with rehearsing the marriage service,
and all for naught
BY and by the silence in that church
was SO thick you could cut it with
knife. Indeed. anybody to have hap
pened on the scene would have
thought the congregation assembled
was waiting for a funeral and not
wedding, and a corpse was the chief
object of interest and not a bride, so
intense was the gloom that pervaded
the atmosphere.
Finally, after an hour and no ap-
pearance of bride and groom, one lady,
remembering her preserves that might
burn while simmering on the stove,
rose and left the church. This was
the signal for others. and one by one
each assembled wedding guest re-
treated, the Rector being the last to
leave.
To this date the bride and groom
have not materialized, and Glen
Burnie is still wondering if it was
intended for a joke, this wedding
which was to have been, but was not
or if the Huns swooped down in the
neighborhood and took the groom
prisoner, and the bride tainted by
the wayside.

THE JEWISH
NEW YEAR HERE
Tomorrow Marks The Beginning OF
The Principal Holiday Season OF
The Jewish Year

The Jewish New Year (Rosh Ha-
shanahD 5679--which will be observed
on Saturday, September z, marks the
beginning or the principal holiday
season of the Jewish year. While the
day is really the new moon of the
seventh month (TishrD- the calen-
dar beginning with the spring month
-Nisan--yet the religious impor-
lance of the month so emphasized this
particular new moon observance
that it gradually assumed the impor-
lance of the New Year day. 1t is the
beginning of the cycle known as the
ten days or repentance ending with
the hottest day of the year, the day of
Atonement. In contrast with the rest
of the period, which are days of sad.
ness and penitence. the New Year day
has always been observed among
the Jews as day of solemn JOY and
happiness. 1t is called in the Bible
the DAY of Memorial and to the
Jew it marks the recording of the
deeds of the past year for Judgment
a judgment which is, however, sus-
pended until after the day of Atone
ment when through true repentance
and sincere contrition the sins of the
past may be blotted out and new OPP
portunity afforded to live life of
purity and usefulness
1t is also called the DAY of the
Blowing of the Trumpet" and around
this ceremony-the blowing of the
Shofar or rams horn-the service of
the day revolves. The rams horn is
supposed to refer to the salvation of
Isaac and the substitution of ram in
his place when Abraham was about
to Stay him in his wrong understand
ing of Gods demand for a sacrifice.
Genesis xiii.
AS is the case with all Jewish holt
days, the observance begins at the
preceding shutdown, Friday, and in
the orthodox synagogs lasts until sun
down Sunday-two days being OBJ
served in place of one as is the GUS
tom in the reform synagog.

GET A RAISE

All the operators of the local Eek
change" of the c. and P. Telephone
Company have recently had substan-
tial raise in salary.
Some of the men of the force also
have had an increase in pay. The
advance in salary is along the line of
the increased cost in living which de-
mands that the working force receive
a livable wage in order to meet liv-
able expenses.
The operators, all of whom are
women, are greatly pleased with the
advance in salary.

chosen. This meet will far outshine

TRACK MEETING
SET FOR MAY 25
Little Doubt but That Harris
burg's Star Athletes Will
Win Bulk of Contests

Well, we are to have a spring
track meet at the Island, after all,
this year, the date being set for May
rs. Short notice? Rather, but as
for who is to blame, space forbids
long discussion. George w. Hill re-
ferred the point to DR.. Charles B.
Eager, chairman of the Harrisburg
Track Athletic Association and DR..
Eager said that owing to war and
also to the fact that last years meet
was not a monumental success the
committee hesitated about holding
one this year. Friction among the
active men interested in this splen-
did association had something to do
with the delay in arranging a meet
for 1918, but the fact stands out
that Harrisburg is so everlasting sue
cessful in these competitions that the
whole state is practically scared
away. A recent order forbids that
Pittsburgh or Philadelphia should
come here to compete and that elimi-
