CAMP FOR WOUNDED
ON SEVERN RIVER

AS an addition to the general hos
pital at Fort McHenry, a summer
camp has been opened for wounded
and sick men on the Severn River,
about 10 miles from Annapolis
The camp, which will be known as
Camp Purnell, after the commanding
officer, Major General Purnell, at the
Fort, was made possible through the
efforts and generosity of Dr. Howard
A. Kelly, of Baltimore 1t is a beau
tiful site comprising about 156 acres
of land, and perfectly adapted for rest
and recreation purposes. There is ex-
cellent saltwater bathing and good
fishing grounds. Adjoining the camp
is the beautiful place of the Camp
Fire Girls, and number of summer
homes surround it, making the site a
picturesque and beautiful resort
A community club already has been
formed to entertain the boys, and sail
boats and launches have been put
at their disposal The camp will be a
tent colony and about 30 people, in
cluding the patients, doctors and
nurses, can be accommodated at one

AT PAROLE RACE TRACK

Tomorrow's Fourth of July trotting
and pacing races, to be held accord
ing TO custom on the Parole race track.
promise to be Of unusual sporting in
terest. The races will be called at /
O'Clock in the afternoon and will con-
sist of three classes.
The first class to be called will
probably have the following starters:
Edwin Seigert's young stallion, Severn
Side; Mr. Wilfred Hardesty's Little
Maude c; Mr.. William Asquith's Pac-
ing Girl. and Mr. Williams Maude
Cozine.
These horses are said to be show
ing good form, and will give the pub
lie good exhibition of speed, and an
exciting race is promised Severn
Side, the youngest of the group, is
only a four-year-old He was bred
and developed last year by Mr. Ed
ward b. Emory, and is considered by
him to be one of the best bred and
best race prospects in Maryland.
With very little trimming last year,
he started in two races. was second
in the first race, and later on won in
straight heats in the second race.
That Mr. Seigert thinks well of him
to start him against such crack horses
as Maude Cozine and Pacing Girl, and
the game little mare, Little Maude c,
who are so much older and have made
faster records than he, is evidence of
Mr.. Seigert's high opinion of his con-
taCfanf in tho Fapp
The second race will be between en-
tries of horses owned by colored per-
son who want TO test their favorite
roadsters in public race. This race
gives promise of some general sport
and amusement.
The third race will be for white
owners whose roadsters have never
started in race. end is expected to
be well filled.
A feature of the race will be that no
entry fees will be charged and mo
purses given. The races will be for
the glory of winning only. An admis-
sion charge of twenty-five cents all
around will be asked After deduct
ing the cost of advertising, the rental
for the track and grounds attached,
the receipts will go to Mr.. J. F. Sears.

SEES GOOD TIMES
FOR THE W, B. & A.
Official Says Camp Meade Is
Only Contributing Cause To
Prosperity
HOPES CAMP MAY STAY

A high official of the Washington
Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Rail
way, writing to a local banker, cor
rects an impression which has been
created in the public mind that the
prosperity of the system is due to the
fact that Camp Meade is located on
one of the company's branch lines
This official explains that the big mill
tary camp is a contributing, but not
the only cause for the heavy busi-
ness handled. The letter in part is as
follows:
Contrary to the general opinion
which seems to prevail, the prosperity
of this company is not by any means
due entirely to the fact that Camp
Meade is located on one of our branch
lines Although the business from
that source is considerable, without
any earnings whatever on Camp Meade
business in the year 1917, our surplus
above all charges, including the pre-
ferred dividend, would have equaled
an amount in excess of per cent on
the common stock of the company
Camp Meade in 1917, supplied 40
per cent of the increase in gross earn
ings of the company. For the first
four months of 1918 the figures have
remained the same. The remaining 81
per cent. of increase is distributed over
the other divisions of the property, and
is due not so much to war conditions
as to the increase in population, both
at Washington and Baltimore, and
to the further fact that Baltimore has
advanced in recent years tremend-
ously in diversified lines of manufac-
ture.
1--WE are glad Camp Meade is locat-
ed on our line and we are pleased to
do everything within our power to pro-
vide the service necessary for the
pleasure of the men at the camp, but
we are looking forward without any
misgivings to the time when Camp
Meade business will be less, and our
expense more than proportionately
less.
"We do not believe the government
would ever entirely abandon Camp
Meade, on which, l understand, there
had already been invested more than
$11, 100000. 1t is hoped that the gov
ernment will not fail to make perma-
nent use of it, and that fine national
highway will be constructed from
Washington by the way of Camp
Meade to Annapolis. / believe this
resident population all through the
section of Maryland served by this
company's lines"

ANNEXATION ACT
AGAIN DECLARED
NULL AND VOID
Judge Moss Files Opinion In
Local Circuit Court In County
VS.. City Fight
WOULD NEVER KNOW
WHERE THEY STOOD
Acts Of Assembly Might Keep
Changing Back And Forth
From Year To Year

If the Legislature is conceded to
have the power to throw the people of
Anne Arundel County into Baltimore
City without their having had any
chance to express their preference one
way or the other, what is to prevent
a succeeding Legislature by simple
enactment of a bill undoing this and
throwing them back into the county:
thus, how are the people of the county
to know from year to year whether
they are residents of the city or the
county? This is one of the main
points brought out by Judge Robert
Moss in an opinion filed in the Anne
Arundel County Circuit Court here to-
day, in the case of the County Com
missioners of the county against the
Mayor and City Council of Baltimore
City attacking the Greater Baltimore
Annexation Act.
Judge Moss rules the Act to be un-
constitutional, and points out in his
concluding paragraph the understand
ing that no mention of pleading or
method of relief sought, so that the
matter may be taken promptly to the
Court of Appeals and speedily settled
by that body. Whether an effort will
be made to get the record of this case
before the Court of Appeals in time
to have it argued on the same date as
the Baltimore County cases which will
be taken up, has not been definitely
settled.
Judge Moss declared that the Anne
Arundel case is distinct from the Bal
timore County ones in that this coun-
ty is not adjacent to the city but is
separated therefrom by a navigable
river and neck of Baltimore County.
He holds that to take the county in
to the city without a referendum
would be plainly depriving the people
of their constitutional rights in that
while they are now entitled to repre-
sentation in the Legislature based up
on population, when taken into the
city their representa- sion is already arr
bitrarily fixed by the Constitution. At
the same time they will be severed
from all part in their present county
government. The opinion also holds
that if the extension can be exercised
as proposed in the present Annexa-
tion Act, it could be exercised with
out limit, and could be used to the
point of destroying county government
absolutely.
Under such a situation, the Court
points out that it would be just as
possible for the State by legislative
enactment to combine Cumberland and
Hagerstown, and all intervening ter
ritory and give the thus created muni-
cipal corporation separate representa-
tion in the Assembly apart from that
of Washington and Allegany Counties.

The soil for cucumbers should be =
rich sandy loan, rather moist but not
wet. The seeds may be planted In
berry baskets or on sods In the hotbed
and these transferred to the open
ground, or the seed may be placed di.
rectly In the ground. Considerable
time will be saved by starting the
plants In the hotbed. In either case
they should not be placed In the open
until the ground has warmed up,
which will be about four weeks after
the last killing frost In the spring.
They may be planted In hills 4 feet
apart each way or drilled In rows 7
feet apart in the rows. II is a good
plan TO use an abundance of well-rot-
ted manure in the holes or In the rows.
Cucumbers should receive frequent
shallow cultivation until the vines be-
gin TO run freely after this very little
cultivation Is required. They are ready
for use as soon as large enough, and
no fruit should be allowed to ripen on
the vines. II is advisable to spray
cucumbers with Bordeaux mixture, as
they are quite liable TO be injured by
diseases.
