LOCAL SCHOOL BILL
KILLED BY HOUSE.
Measure Landed On By Vets In
Repayment of Solley And
Rodgers.

BY a siZable majority the Linthicum
bill designed to increase the member
ship of the Board of Education of
Anne Arundel County from three to
five members was on Saturday killed
in the House. The measure had been
opposed strenuously by three members
of the local legation-Melyin, Solley
and Rodgers-and supported only by
Linthicum until it was amended by
reducing the increase from six TO five.
Then Melvin joined Linthicum in fight
ing for it.
However, the fact that there was a
division in the delegation over the
measure caused a fight and an align
ment of the House for and against it
with the result that Notwithstanding
the fight put up to save it by Melvin
and Linthicum it was tabled. The
fight against the bill was led by
Bryant, of Baltimore County, and most
of the vets of the House, grateful TO
Solley and Rodgers for their assist
ance in the prohibition fight, Joined in
on the killing of the measure.

PROMINENT RABBITS
APPEAL TO JEWS.
Issued By National Security
League In Its Nationwide
Campaign For Loan.

A strong Liberty Loan appeal TO the
Jews of the country, signed by eight
leading rabbis, was made public by
the National Security League Satur-
day. as part of the Leagues nation
wide campaign in support of the third
Liberty Loan.
Continuing its efforts of the past,
| in which the Security League threw
the entire force of its 100000 mem
| bership and PSI branches behind the
| first and second Liberty Loans, the
/ League is organizing a country wide
campaign on behalf of the third Loan.
! The appeal TO the Jews of America,
which is an example of the scope OF
/ the Security Leagues campaign, has
/ been signed by DR.. Solomon T. H.
Hurwitz, of the Rabbinical College of
America, editor of the Jewish
Forum" Rabbi Saul SLIDER, of en-
gregation Anchir Sholom, Chicago;
Rabbi Henry Guterman, of Scranton,
Penn; Rev. DR.. Samuel Buchler,
Chairman of the Executive Committee
/ of the Jewish Minister'S Association
of America; and Rev. DIR. II. Pereira
| Mendes, of the Spanish and Portu-
guese Synagogue; Rev. DR.. Elias l..
| Solomon, of Congregation Kehilath
Israel; Rabbi Paul Chertoff. of Con-
gregation Shaarei Zedek, and Rabbi
Mordecai A. Kaplan, of Congregation
Nachlath Zvee, all of New York City.
The appeal reads:
| AT this moment, when our civili-
cation is tottering and when our coun-
! try is bending every effort TO annihi-
| late the forces of evil and to re-estab-
| lish a world democracy. it is incum-
| bent upon every Jew to aid with
every means the efforts made by our
! country to win this great struggle,
which will bring about a new freedom
| for the world The Jew has always
been a fighter for ideals and no more
! idealistic work than to aid in the pres
ent struggle can be found.
THE Third Liberty Loan is about
/ to be launched and we urge every
| Jew to do his utmost, as in the case
of the first two loans, and respond
literally to the country's appeal"
Starting with a resolution passed
by its Executive Committee, the Sc
curity League has issued an urgent
personal appeal to all its 100000 mem
bers support the third Liberty Loan
and has instructed the officers of all
its PSI branches, scattered throughout
the country, to Immediately undertake
active cooperation with the Liberty
Loan Committees in their various dis
! tricts.

SAILORS WANT
AN ARMY GAME.
Baseball Season Closer Is Seized
uled But Not Assured Yet.
Hopes Run High.

The baseball game with Army has
been scheduled for June l, to take
place on Worden Field. AS far as the
two institutions are concerned the
date and the conditions are perfectly
satisfactory. At present, Navy athle-
tics are confined to the Academic lin
its and the Pointers to the banks of
the Hudson. The outcome depends
entirely upon the words of the two
Departments in Washington.
Here is what the Middies say about
the game in The Log:
"If il should be asked of us
whether we want the game or not,
those of 10 will probably recall very
wildly the 1873 score in 1916. Plebes
and Youngsters felt a great disap-
pointment at not meeting the Point
ers last fall Do we want a game?
The question is answered in the team
that is being formed and by sounding
anyone who wears Navy Blue.
Now whether or not it be definitely
decided one way or the other, there is
a team of nine men, two coaches and
a whole baseball squad who firmly be-
lieve there will be a game and who
are out with the one idea of re-estab-
fishing the supremacy over West
Point on the diamond. If they can be-
lieve it, trust in it and strive toward
that end, the least the rest of us can
do is to keep constantly in mind that
there will be a game. AS the diff
ferent visiting teams are each taken
into camp, start counting the days
or games, not until the end of the
season, but until the Army Game. We
wished mighty hard once and didn't
get our wish; but this time let it be a
firm conviction beforehand"

ing results.
He received an enthusiastic ovation

OLD TIME SPINNING =.
WHEEL IS BROUGHT
OUT FOR WAR USE

Pipestone, Mimi, Feb. 2S.-An old
spinning wheel, stored for sentimental
reasons in the attic of the home of
George Stenberg, a farmer living a
short distance from here. has been
brought out and is doing its bit to-
ward winning the present war, even
as it did in the war of the revolution.
Guided by less experienced hands
than in the old days, the machine has
completed its task and seven pounds
of fine wool yarn has been donated to
the Red Cross as the result of the
spinning wheels rejuvenation.
Mrs. George Stenberg, keenly inter-
ested in doing whatever she can to aid
in war activities, heard of the short
age Of yarn, and that Red Cross work
was being delayed in the matter of
making sweaters and socks for the
men in the trenches. She recalled the
fact that the old spinning wheel was
in the attic. Calling her husband
into her scheme, severaf sheep were
clipped and the process of manufac-
turing arr was begun.
The old spinning wheel did its ''bit'
as faithfully as ever it did. and in a
few days the local Red Cross received
the yarn made by Mrs. Stenberg,
with the wish expressed that it would
