HEROES AND HEROES

Pershing isn't going to give us the names OF
his slain heroes 1t might give valuable informa-
ton to the enemy. But we notice that the names
of the heroes who pulled through are coming all
right.
Maybe there's difference in heroes. The dead
are dead, and the living get the fame and decora-
tions

SNOWDEN STILL A STOLID
PRISONER; NO CONFESSION
Negro Convicted of Brandon Murder
Has Spiritual Advisor, But Hopes
For Appeal Court Reprieve

John Snowden, convicted of the
murder of Mrs. Lottie May Brandon,
who was brought TO Annapolis from
Towson the afternoon after he had
been sentenced to pay the full penalty
for the crime, maintains, after nearly
one week in the Annapolis Jail death
cell, the same stolid apparently in
different attitude which has marked
his demeanor ever since his arrest
Only once since he was taken into
custody on the night of August 18th,
has his nerve shown a break. When
being led to. the court room lookup
Immediately after the jury follow
ing only twenty-seven minutes of de-
liberation, he said II am worried and
nervous" When admitted to the An
napolis Jail after sentence had been
passed upon him, he said to Sheriff
Joseph H. Bells, We'll, boss, dey done
fetched me back here fer you to
hang"
Since being lodged in the Annapo
lis Jail, Snowden has been granted the
privilege of spiritual advice, his
chaplain being the Rev. James A.
Briscoe, pastor of the Mount Moriah
Colored Methodist Episcopal Church
of Annapolis. To his pastor the man
maintains his innocence as strenuous
ly as he has maintained it to all who
have come in contact with him.

BEERS GOING TOO;
BARLEY IS NEEDED
And What Malt Liquor There Is
Left Us viii Contain Less
Alcohol
GRAIN WILL BE USED In BREAD
Brewers Now Experimenting With Corn
--Brewed Drinks Not Likely to
Be Stopped

Therell soon be less barley for beer
and malt drinks.
And thereIl be a little less alcohol
in what beer there is.
This appeared to be the prospect for
the period of the war as the Food Ad-
ministration prepared regulations con-
trolling the sale of grain for mailing
purposes.
Every available bushel of barley is
needed for victory bread under
Hoover's new regulations and brewers
probably will be forced to corn or
some other substitutes for the period
of the war. Barley is practically the
only wheat substitute which millers
can grind in -four mills.
Production of corn flour is hamper
ed by lack of special equipment re-
quired, and for this reason the major
portion of the 25 per cent wheat sub
stitutes that must go into victory
bread must be Of barley. 1t is not be-
lieved that the Food Administration
will attempt to prevent manufacture
of brewed drinks
Other grains can be substituted by
brewers for barley and experiments in
brewing beer from corn are being
worked out now. Reduction of the
alcoholic content of beer to 2 per cent
is a possibility as a conservation
measure.

WEALTHY SPORTSMEN ARE
TO HAVE CLUB NEARBY
Thomas Point Ducking Club Organ
lied Here Said To Include Prom
inent Baltimoreans In
Membership.

Development into a gentlemen's
the beautiful Thomas Point property,
which was for many years an island
at the intersection of South River,
Fishing Creek and the Chesapeake
Bay, is planned in the recent incor-
poration of the Thome Point Ducking
Club The incorporators, as given in
the paper filed with the Court here
are: Ridgely p. Melvin, of Annapolis;
John Opper and Philip S. Ball, of
Baltimore. However, it is understood
that several gentlemen, whose names
are more than usually prominent in
Baltimore business and professional,
as we'll as social circles. are members
of the club.
The property taken over by the club
consists of about five acres of almost
island, now connected with the main
land by a narrow strip of land drift
ed in and made" by the tide move
ment In addition to the main prom
notory reaching out into the bay
there is nearly seventy acres on the
mainland.
1t is understood to be the plan of
the promoters and members of the
club to erect under club-restrictions
bungalows, and club house, and to
use the whole reservation for game
and fishing preservation. Duck shoot
ing, fishing and oyster planting are
among the privileges reserved to the
members in the incorporation papers.

Who has got a room to rent in An
napolis, at Eastport, in West Annap-
oils, or Germantown? 1t need not be
a palatial apartment and need not ne
cessarily be one which has a bath at
tached; just so it is room. There is
today such a demand for rooms or
even "a" room as Annapolis has never
experienced-not even in the days
when the new Naval Academy" was
being built.
Families of officers from Camp
Meade, who want to be as near their
relatives as possible as long as the
boys in khaki remain in this locality
families of the soldiers and sailors
who are undergoing craftsmanship
training at the Saunders Range
friends and relatives of the reserve
officers taking special courses at the
Academy; superintendents, foremen
and skilled laborers engaged in the
big construction work at the Naval
Academy, as well as their families, all
these want accommodations. To help
these families enjoy the sacred
privilege of being with their loved
ones as long as possible is a patriotic
duty, as well as sensible thing to do.
But all of this is somewhat beside
the mark; the real mark is that you
must not only have a room-or rooms,
or room and bath, or two rooms and
bath-if you have these greatly de-
sired things just having them will do
you no good, You have got to adver-
tise that you have them
When you arrive at the point where
you determine to no longer let the
roo mremain vacant, the only real
medium in which TO reach the persons
who are seeking accommodations and
don't know where to go to get them, is

carefully, but after having made pro-
per friendships should hold them
sacredly. Work, hard work, and
plenty of it, saves many a person

the answer can always be in the
affirmative if the young man in ques-

ligion and the church OF all the

more essential to safety than vital
religious experience which makes for
intense loyalty to God, country, home

safe guide amid the perplexing and
suddenly changing pathways of life's

VICE CONDITIONS
SUSPEND DANCES
All Hops at State Armory Cut Out
For The Present--Great Interest
Aroused.
GOVERNOR PRESENT.
Leading Citizens Take Drastic Measure
TO Probe Certain Alleged ImmOrah-
ties Permitted to Exist

Vice conditions in all their shame
fulness were made manifest, as they
are alleged TO exist in and about An
napolis, at a joint meeting last night
of the Executive Committee and the
Advisory Board of the Anne Arundel
Council of Defense. held in the Coun-
ell of Defense rooms in the Court OF
Appeals Building.
Governor Harrington was present
and was an interested listener TO the
relation of conditions that tend to the
immortality of the young manhood and
young womanhood of this city, es-
pecially at public dances.
The gist OF the meeting proved con
clusively to the hearers that the
women OF Annapolis are more keenly
alive TO conditions than are the mon
and are better informed as to the
social and moral Tor immoraD condi-
tion permitted TO so on from day TO
day, under the very eye and nose OF
those who are in position to make
the punishment fit the crime.
The Governor evinced astonishment,
as did several of the men, to whom the
alleged conditions of immortality prac-
ticed at dances had been hitherto an
unknown quantity.
The long and short of the meeting
was a motion made by Mr.. James A
Walton, seconded by Mr.. James Nj.
Munroe, that the State Armory be
closed to all dances from now on.
Dancing will be cut out altogether
as one of the diversions and recrea-
tion for service men and citizens at
the Bladen Street Armory.
In the meantime deep probe will
be made which, it is understood, will
take in some places in the vicinity OF
the building.
A Vigilance Committee will probably
be appointed. and the matter stirred
up at last nights joint meeting of the
two committees of the Council of De
fense will not rest there, but condi-
tions alleged will be fully and thor
oughly investigated
The slogan is Probe, and Probe
Deep"
