Judge Cam Mullins requests
all peace officers and citizens of
this county to keep a sharp look
out for all boys within the school
age who are loafing night or day
and report their names to him.
The new law says if these boys
have regular occupations they
must be in school and not idleing
their time away. 1t is hoped
this loafing business will be stopt.
Many OF those who have cutithe
brush off the road along their
property are leaving the limbs
where they fall. This does more
harm than if the brush and limbs
were left standing. ALI bitches
and culverts will soon be filled up
and everyone knows the result.
We would suggest that the magis-
trates see to it that the linn BIS,
brush, etc., are kept out of the
bitches.

NEW COAL REGULATION
IN OPERATION TODAY
Dealers Now Required To Display
Prices. The New Schedule
ClaSSifies Coal.

new regulation was put into
operation yesterday. wherby all local
coal dealers are now required to dis
play the government prices, and to
charge their customers strictly in ac-
cOrdance with these prices
In an interview with the Fuel Ad-
ministrator for Anne Arundel County,
Mr.. Walter H. Hart, he had the follow
ing to say TO a Capital representative:
AS result of numerous complaints
that have been made by local consum-
ers to the local Fuel Administrator,
an investigation of prices charged has
very recently been made. and where
upon it appeared that overcharging
was very general This oeercharging
ranged from four cents to ninety-nine
cents per ton. and therefore equals a
fortune upon Annapolis twenty-thou-
sand-ton consumption.
The local committee, of which / am
chairman, has spent much valuable
time in working out this schedule of
prices. And, by the way, this commit
tee does not receive any pay for its
etIFICeS 10 lHS community.
Their schedule covers every kind
and size Of coal that is handled by the
local dealers. This schedule has been
signed by the local chairman, and ap-
proved and signed by the State Fuel
Administrator. and approved and sign
ed by the National Fuel Administrator.
1T is said that the local dealers will
positively be required to conform to
these prices, or else pay the penalty
which, under the Lever Act, is a fine
of five thousand dollars or two years
in Jail. 1t has not yet been decided
what action will be taken against the
dealers in connection with the over
charging that has recently been dis
covered
THE new schedules classify anthra-
cite coal under four sizes. and under
White Ash and Red Ash, and under
Independent and Railroad Coal The
cheapest coal is Railroad Pet at $776
per ton of 2,240 pounds, and the dear
est is Independent Red Ash Nut at
s10.21 per ton. All fixed prices are
for delivery into the customers cell
lar or bin, and without any extra
charge for bagging or carrying the
coal"

not do so until autumn. but ii is be-
lieved that he will not resign at all

dick" GLENDON is
COMING BACK AGAIN

Particular pleasure is being taken
in Annapolis over the announcement
that Dick Glendon, of Boston, has
been signed up by the Navy Athletic
Association to coach the Navy crews
again next year. Glendon now has
probably the record for continuous
service at any one institution as a
coach.
He has done splendid work at the
Naval Academy, and the fact that his
varsity crew defeated the University
of Pennsylvania and Columbia eights
in the senior event of the regatta of
the American Rowing Association on
the Severn gives it front rank for the
year.
Definite arrangements have been
made with other professional coaches
for next season. Gilmour Dobie will
handle football for two more seasons
at least William Lush, who directed
the same sports at Yale, will coach
both baseball and basketball, and
Joseph Mulligan will have another
year with the field and track.

CURTIS BAY CUT OFF
BY GROUNDED CABLE

A serious tie-up in the activities OF
the many big manufacturing plants in
upper Anne Arundel County resulted
yesterday when one of the big cables
that feed the Curtis Bay car line
grounded and all cars were stalled.
officials of the United Railway say
that the hitch in the service was due
to the electric current escaping from
the feed cable into the water of the
river. Because of the draw il is i'm
possible to send feed currents across
the bridge and they must be strung
under it, Difficulty was added to the
task of finding the leak because it
was under water. and to complicate
matters one of the underground ca
bles on the Baltimore side of the
bridge also became grounded"
