Married Life, Third Year

They're Not In.
Mr.. Dawson is not in, sir" the boy
informed them a moment later.

Another moments wait and then the
boy said stolidly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson have both
gone out"
Gone out?' murmured Helen, in
amazement.
"Of course not" scoffed Warren

Curtis are here. What's that?" sharply.

Helen watched his savage frown

NEW DRY BILL NOW
IN AT WASHINGTON

With whiskey consumption going
along at a rate which will soon get
rid of all the real "fire-water" in the
country, the lover of liquor refresh
ment is in for ever worse conditions.
A proposal for complete prohibition
during the war was presented in the
Senate at Washington yesterday by
Senator Jones, of Washington, as an
amendment to the $1,000,000 emer-
gency Agricultural Appropriation bill.
1t is designed to meet President Will
sons objections to the Randall amend
ment, which would prevent use of S6,-
100000 of the appropriation unless the
President should exercise his authority
to prohibit manufacture of beer and
wines.
The Jones amendment would pro-
hibit the sale or transportation of dis
titled spirits during the war; prohibit
manufacture of beer and wines 30 days
after passage of the bill, and in addi-
tion would provide that no whiskey
held in storage should be withdrawn
for beverage purposes.

THRIFT STAMP SALES
BOOMING IN SCHOOLS,
Teachers And Scholars Are
Showing Their Patriotism In
A Material Way.

Since last reports were made TO Miss
Kelly, County School Supervisor, and
irrespective of the present drive on
for this week, there has been a steady
and most gratifying growth in the
purchase of War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps among the pupils and
teachers of the public schools of Anne
Arundel County. Among the teach
ers of the schools who are showing
themselves fervently patriotic, there
has been purchased $32109 worth of
War Stamps.
The total purchased by the schools
of the county now amounts to 25,254
Thrift Stamps and 1886 War Savings
Stamps. The Annapolis High School,
of which Miss Louise Linthicum is
principal, is credited with SOC Thrift
Stamps, while the local Grammar
School. Miss Josephine Riordan,
principal, has 3,09S Thrift Stamps and
500 War Savings Stamps.
Eastport pupils have bought 2,O45
Thrift Stamps and 80 War Savings
Stamps, while at West Annapolis there
are 1sS Thrift Stamps and War Saw
ings Stamps now held.

W., B. & A. ASKS A
RAISE IN ITS FARES.
Seeks Federal Permission To
Boost It's Passenger Rates To
8 Cents Per Mile.

Following the petition filed by it's
management and the management of
the Maryland Electric Railways (Short
Line) with the Maryland Public Serv-
ice Commission last week, the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Rail-
road Company has made application to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for permission to increase fares to
three cents per mile in conformity
with rates on steam roads. In addi-
tion the company requests the privi-
lege of canceling all special and ex-
cursion train service.
This latest action of the W., b. & A.
is necessary in addition to the appli-
cation to the Maryland Commission
because it, unlike the Short Line,
crosses the State line.
Should the Commission grant the
application there will be a substan-
tial increase of fares on the electric
line. Round trip tickets from Wash
ington and Baltimore and Annapolis
and vice versa, which come under the
heading of special rates, would be
given a decided jump.
