monthly report for July, as follows:
Number of families dealt with
during the month h.... l09
Homes provided for our service
men for week-ends .. SO
Letters written to men over
seas for families. ..... 10
Under the capable direction of the
chairman, Mr. W. Meade Holiday, the
Home Service, in a quiet, unostentious
way is doing a splendid work in this
community among the families of the
service men of all branches, and
among the men themselves.
One thing the Home Service Com
mittee wants to impress upon the
home folk is to write cheerful letters
to their men.
Under the title SOLDIERS" Ted Rob-
inson. in the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
has the following, and a woman who
writes a letter like this is helping to
win the war:
Her kitchen girl had left her and
Sle q all ln6 WOTh 10 10
Upon the day the plumbing broke and
let the water through;
The baby had the chicken -pox-she
had to go and see
The doctor on the subject, and she
fell and sprained her knee.
A passing neighbor brought her home
the fred gone out by then
She ate a frigid meal, and then she got
her ink and pen
And wrapped a shawl around her, and
beneath the evening lamp
She wrote letter to her Mana sol
dier down in camp.
Dear John: Your loving letter was
received today. | hope
You're we'll l keep so busy that !

The weather's cold, but beautiful, and
Spring is on the way
The babys got tooth. l took a trip
down town today,
And Mr.. Johnson picked me up in his
big motor car
And brought me home-you can't be-
lieve how kind the neighbors are!
Baby and I've decided we will lead
the simple life
And stay at home for quite a while.
With lots of love,
Your Wife"
Her name is Mrs. Legion, and she's
quite well known to me.
Her husband is a soldier of his coun-
try. So is she.
A woman who writes a letter like
the above is helping to win the war.

LITTLE GIRLS MAKE
TWELVE DOLLARS
Complete sum OF One Hundred Dol.

Proceeds OF Lawn Party

The little girls of St Johns Campus.
who gave a garden party some days
ago. realized over $1,000 which they
turned in to the Rev. DIR. Burgan, as
part of fund of one hundred dollars,
which he handles for the support of
one French child.
Strange to say this was the exact
amount lacking to make up the hun
ldred dollars, which he forwarded at
once.
The children had a fine prospect for
making a great deal more as there
was a dance at the College that night,
and they expected to supply the ice
cream, but unfortunately that was one
of the nights. when ice was impossible
in Annapolis, and so the children were
the losers.
The children who gave the fete, were

MD. CONGRESSMEN
ON THE HONOR ROLL
Members From This State For
The Most Part Voted Loyalty
In War Legislation
VOTES ARE COMPILED

Showing each member of the House
voted on vital war measures a list of
roll calls has been prepared in Wash
ington which puts Maryland among the
all honor states of the Union.
There are four great measures which
have been advanced as providing the
''acid test" TO members of Congress as
to their attitude toward the United
Statse and Germany These measures
are the MeLemore resolution, the reso-
luton providing an embargos on arms.
the declaration of war against Ger
many and the Selective Draft bill. On
each of these propositions the Mary
land delegation in the House has the
distinction of standing without a
break behind President Wilson as
commander-in-chief of the nation in a
national crisis.
This distinction only belongs to 10
other state delegations These are
from Connecticut, Delaware, Louisi-
ana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah
and Vermont. The House delegation
from each of these states never way
cred in their support of President Will
son on these international questions
regardless of their differences on dom
estic problems.
The vote on the MeLemore resolu-
tion and the resolution for an embargo
on shipment of arms and ammunition
was taken before Representative Zihl-
man became a member of the House.
Representatives Talbot, Linthicum,
Coady, Price and Mudd, the present
members now in Congress, voted
against both of these resolutions. On
the resolution for a declaration of war
against Germany and for the draft,
Mr.. Zilhman was in the House and he
voted with Messrs. Talbot, Linthicum
Coady, Price and Mudd for both of the
propositions.
In addition to these four "acid-test''
proposition, the Maryland delegation,
since this country has entered the war,
has voted solidly in it's support of
every other suggestion which Presi-
dent Wilsan made to Congress looking
.
They have voted for all the war ap-
preparation bills. They have support
ed all the measures looking to Govern
ment control and regulation of domes-
tic affairs, so that the nation may be
in better position to deal with war con-
ditions. Now and then they differed
on some minor details, but the six
members of the House from Maryland
were always found on the firing line
looking toward the enemy when the
big test came.
Congressional leaders, looking over
the returns, believe that the next Con-
gress will be more Loyalty behind the
President. They declare that the re-
suits so far indicate that the American
people will not tolerate members of the
House and the Senate who will not
give the Administration whole-hearted
support in its plans to crush the Hun
military autocracy and remove this
menace from the world forever.

THE FOUNTAIN"
( ON THE JOB

Only one ice cream parlor in town
few nights ago was able to regale its
patrons with that cooling luxury of
summer-ice cream.
This fortunate place was the
Fountain" Maryland avenue, whose
proprietor, not to be outdone by the
no-ice situation in Annapolis, took a
motor truck to Baltimore and brought
down a supply of cream and soft
drinks on ice.
1t is needless to say the Fountain"
was the most popular place in the city
that evening and did land Office

NEW BUREAU IS
GOOD COLLECTOR
Gets in Over $1,667,000 of De-
linquent Taxes For the
States Strong Box

The new bureau established in the
Auditor Generals Department to
collect delinquent taxes from corr
porations doing business in Pennsyl-
vania will close the states fiscal year
with collections of $1,667,275.02 and
over one thousand dead corpora
tions crossed off the books at the
Capitol. The prediction made by
Auditor General Charles A. Snyder
when he established the bureau on
January that he could get mill
lion and a half dollars for the state
without spending a cent for collect
ing has been borne out. 49,
The work of this branch of the
department, which is presided over
by Samuel S. Lewis, of York. is Off
cially known as the Delinquent Di-
vision of the Bureau of Corpora
tions. has attracted considerable
attention, as it took hold of some
long-overdue accounts, certain ones
dating from the last administration
in the department, and secured per-
fectly good United States banknotes
in settlement for state taxes on cap
ital stock and loans. In other in
stances, corporations which had
shown no regard for their credit and
allowed penalties to accumulate
without answering notices were
brought to book by plain words. The
removal of the dead" companies
from the books will not only reduce

Commissioner John S. Killing says:
"It is clearly shown that the re-

its proper operating expenses" The
complainant of the borough of Berlin
against the Berlin Water Co. is dis
missed on the ground that the gross
revenue under proposed rates would
be less than the company is entitled
to receive under the valuation placed
by the engineers who had charge of
the matter and agreed upon a figure
of $4,000.
The Commission refused a rehear-
