GLAD THAT COUNTY
IS TO Be DRIED.
General Feeling Is That The Fail
ure Of Green-Linthicum Bill
Made Closing Necessary.
MANY SALOONS CLOSED.
Secretary Bakers Order Is An
nounced To Be Applicable
To Brooklyn And Curtis
Bay Section.

Because of the fact that the Green
Linthicum bill, designed to improve
the whole system of saloon licensing
in the area involved was allowed to
die during the closing hours of the
Legislature, general satisfaction was
expressed today over the formal an
nouncement that the latest Baker
! bone-dry order affecting a five-mile
radius surrounding the government
works at Colgate would apply to the
Brooklyn and Curtis Bay sections of
Anne Arundel County.
With the needed protection for the
betterment of conditions in the upper
part of the county pending the eff
fective application of the annexation
measure, it was felt that conditions
would become serious if all the saloon
traffic from the Baltimore County
shores were allowed to flock into up
per Anne Arundel
The resorts at Brooklyn have flour
ished since the new liquor law went
into effect in Baltimore County and
have drawn a large contingent of
pleasure seekers from the city. Their
all-night licenses helped to swell the
revenues, and there was considerable
automobile traffic from the city to the
parks.
An order may be expected any day
now creating a dry zone around Curtis
Bay, part of which is included within
the Colgate order. Agents of the
Training Camp Division have reported
+ to Washington that there are so sa-
looms in the Curtis Bay section and
| these have created a condition which
! is very hard to control" This new
order will embrace especially the ter
ritory around the Curtis Greek army
warehouses, which the government is
now constructing.
| Within the five-mile zone in Anne
Arundel County are two parks, Jen-
! kins' and Dixon's, and nine saloons in
| Brooklyn, three saloons in East
Brooklyn, seven at Fairfield and 80 in
Curtis Bay. There are a few saloons
and resorts outside of the zone.
Saloons must close their doors in
| that part of Anne Arundel County ly-
| ing southwest of the Patapsco river
| gate. it was announced at the Office of
! Major Bascom Johnson, head of the
! Law Enforcement Division of the
Commission on Training Activities,
which issued an order Monday Great
ing a new War Department dry" zone
| in Maryland.
The river. it was explained, though
sort of boundary line, makes no diff
| ference, and the only section exempted
from the saloon-closing order is that
part of Baltimore City coming with
in the five-mile radius of Colgate.
Major Johnson and his assistants
who drew the order, declared that the
annexation law, recently passed by the
| Maryland Legislature. extending Bal
timore's city limits to include the ter
ritory made dry" by the War De-
partment, will not operate to annul
the prohibition decree.

PLAYGROUND WORK
TO BEGIN AT ONCE.
Board Of Education Votes $500
For Grading Purposes And
Permanent Improvements.
MOTHERS CIRCLE PLAN.
Playground Equipment Needed.
Assistance offered And Asked
For. Hoped To Be Used
This Summer.
This Summer.

At the last business meeting of the
Mothers Circle held at the Annapolis
Grammar School, the Circle voted To
apply the amount raised ly adverds-
ing in the Year Book on a fund TO g
used to establish a playground IT the
school
The necessity for an open air play
ground for the children who can Jakc
10 part in the field sports has long
been felt. The use of playground
equipment as factor in the physi-
cal and mental development of chill
dren is becoming so generally recog
nized as a necessity that almost every
school in the cities now provides some
form of gymnasium outfit either in
doors or out-or sometimes ! 9th.
The members of the Board OF lGdu-
cation of Anne Arundel County. when
the question of an appropriation was
submitted TO thenr. were enthusiastic.
After the discussion the Board voted
$4,000 to cover the estimates of grad
ing, treatment of soil, fencing ami all
permanent features; the money thus
appropriated to be expended at the
discretion of the Superintendent. Mr..
Fox, Mr. Ivon T. Morton and the play
groud committee of the Mothers
Circle
The question of means to secure the
playground equipment such as slides,
see-saws, swings, and miscellaneous
games, etc. is one still TO be met.
Mrs. Carol II. Foster, chairman of the
playground committee. was given au-
thority by the Board to secure sub
scriptions of all who are interested in
the development of the playground.
II is expected that generous response
will meet the efforts of the playground
committee to raise sufficient funds to
make this playground one of the fin
est in the State. Checks for the fund
can be sent to Mrs. f. A. Gage, Capt.
tai Office, made payable to the Play
ground Committee.
The Board of Education will also
take up the question soon of provid-
ing a physical director for the play
ground. The question of playground
direction is an important one. and the
physical director should have as much
supplementary aid as possible from
the teachers who are to be i'm charge
of the playground each day. Miss
| Brooke and Miss Woodward of the
Grammar School have had summer
| courses in this work and will be in
valuable aids.
The work on the grounds will be-
gin at once, so that the playground
may be in use this summer.
Offers of assistance in the building
of such equipment as can be made
here have already been sent to Mrs.
| Foster Mr.. Fred. W. Shaw has Of
| fered labor and materials from his
shop, as has also Mr.. w III. Field
meyer, a member of the Board of
Trustees of the school. Mr.. Morgan
Parlett has offered supplies such as
I sand, cement or any materials for the
concrete work at cost. Other mer-
| chants are willing to furnish hard
ware at cost, so that even with ma
terials at advanced figures, it is hoped
a thoroughly equipped playground
| will be ready on scheduled time.

fore Justice Dulin who held him in
$500 bail for the action of the Grand
Jury. Ayers is from Baltimore and is

NOTICE TO ALL
AUTOMOBILISTS.
Motorists Asked To Avoid Old
Annapolis Road.

Maj.-Gen. Joseph f. Kuhn,
commandant of Camp Meade. re-
quests that automobilists avoid
using the Old Annapolis road on
April 4, 5 and Z.
Failure to observe this request
is likely to cause great delay
and suffering to the men who
must reach specified places at
certain hours. The delays will
deprive the soldiers of needed
rest cal in many other ways
will inconvenience them.
The Old Annapolis road is
only IA feet wide and the trans
portation of a body of $4,000
troops over it will cause a real
problem. The General feels that
his request will be gladly acted
upon by the people of Maryland.
