A few days ago there was published
from Red Cross headquarters in Bal
timore an appeal for bottles to be sent
to Camp Meade for use at the dispen-
sary, and this was copied by other pa
pers throughout the State with the re-
suit that Camp Meade is swamped
with bottles.

Miss Nellie Ennis, Secretary of the
Home Service, who paid a visit tC
Camp Meade, was requested by the
Capital to find out something more
definite of the needs of these bottles
Miss Ennis reports that the Medical
headquarters at the camp say they
are swamped with bottles. Every time
they look out they see a barrel of bot.
ties rolling in to the cantonment.

pointed by Congressman. as was Hell
len. Doubtless, this number will in
clude next year many who have taken
an active part in the fighting on the
Western front or the great engage
ment which may yet break on the high
seas.
Private HELEN was a member of
the 43rd company of the Fifth Regi-
ment of Marines, which was with the
very first contingent TO cross the At
lantic. and which has been in the
thick of the figh ing up to the present
time
There are also in Annapolis, pre-
pairing for the entrance examinations
of the Academy, quite a number of
youths who have had military service,
though none, so far as known, who
have been across, except HELEN.
Doubtless, the next new class of the
Academy will be unique in the num-
Der of veterans it will contain. There
can be no doubt that Congressman
will recognize the claims of the boys
in the trenches, where their age is
suitable, and appoint many of them TO
the Naval and Military Academies.
There is one precedent of an officer
who had active military service. and
then entered the Academy and gradu-
ated from it. 1t is that of Rear Ad-
miral Corwin p. Rees, who served in
an Ohio regimen during the Civil
war, and was appointed to the Acad-
envy at its close, graduating in 1870.

SERVICE MEN ENJOY
HALLOWEEN PARTY
CONTINUED from page -

was great fun. Each had half torn
card that had to be matched for part
ners. Sometimes this was as difficult
as IL was amusing.
Groups were matching cards
throughout the early part of the even
ing, and to facilitate matters the room
was divided into four sections. A GER
tain number of girls and service men
were assigned TO each section, the
cards being numbered accordingly.
Each section was supplied by its
Fortune Teller" and the following
ladies costumed as gypsies read palms
and practiced the art of palmistry:
Miss Katherine Walton, Miss Con-
stance Brady, Miss Newton, Mrs. Don
ovan Swami. The service men were
so well pleased with their fortunes
that many of them wanted a second
palm reading.
The events of the evening opened
with a grand march. This was very
grotesque, especially as each man had
his nose" with him or his false face,
and each girl had her draperies of
sheets and pillow cases. After sew
eral times marching around the room
led by Mrs. King. the participants
took places in their respective sec
tions. Then followed in quick success
sion the o.her events, beginning with
the potato race. Spuds were placed in
rows, and at the signal go" the men
and girls started TO the far end of the
line TO pick up a potato with a spoon
and carry it back to the starting point
without splitting. This race was won
by Miss Elizabeth Moss.
Card throwing furnished amuse-
ment. In this the girls held the peach
baskets while the men threw cards
into them? Those throwing the great
est number of cards into the baskets
won prizes The prizes consisted of
tin horns, whistles, paper baskets of
candy, and boxes of candy, paper
caps, etc. etc.
Hunting the cork and the Donkey
Party played their part in the even
ing's fun and entertainment, and there
was great laughter when the donkey's
tail was pinned on his ear and nose,
or somewhere. anywhere except where
it really belonged.
The following were the prizes given
for each event
Potato Race, men, paper caps;
girls. baskets of candy and cats.

CANDIDATE DUVALL
SURE HE WILL WIN

they are in a kindly mood towards
their late opponent, and are anxious
to do all they can for him. 1t is also
stated that the Fifth will try to roll
up banner Democratic majority for
its last showing as a part of old Anne
Arundel.
Under all the circumstances, the
situation is such that the best chance
in years to redeem the Fifth District
is presented. There is every reason
to believe that Mudd will not get the
large personal vote in Annapolis and
vicinity that he has formerly received,
though he may get a part of it, and
there can be no question of the eff
cacy of the Presidents appeal in every
part of the district. OF course, the
Republican candidate and his work
ers are engaged in the usual still hunt
and are conducting the usual schools
for colored voters. There is little
doubt that the full colored vote will
be obtained for the Republican ticket,
but there is better chance than usual
of overcoming it, Senator Duvall is
confident that it will be done.
An estimate of the situation in
Maryland. published by the New York
American today, follows:
1T is highly probably that the pres
ent proportion of Representatives in
Congress from Maryland-four Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans-will not
be disturbed at the coming election
Linthicum and Coady. Democrats from
Baltimore City, are almost sure of re-
election, as is Zihlman, Republican,
from the Sixth District, which is in
the western part of the State. The
other Republican, Mudd, from the Fifth
or Southern Maryland District, is be-
ing given a somewhat more active
fight than usual by State Senator Du-
vail, of Anne Arundel County, but
the chances favor his reelection Price
and Benson, Democrats, will prob
ably win, though both are being vio-
lently opposed. Benson, nominated to
succeed the veteran, Talbot, is being
opposed by the prohibition, anti-race
track and women's suffrage elements.
However, the district is strongly DEM
ocratic"

informed that the influenza ban al
Gallaudet may not be lifted until Mon
day and this will prevent the game
There is more than a chance that il
st. Johns has to give up this game
that it will play against the local Rifle
Range team. However, the matter
will not be settled until tonight, owing
to the uncertainty of the state of af-
fairs at Gallaudet.

'POSSUM HUNTING STARTS
IN DEAR OLD GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 25.-The open
season for hunting possums in Geor-
gia commenced at II o'clock midnight
on October l, and already the slick
tailed denizens of the persimmon tree
are beginning to hide out and watch
their P's and Q's. For old dog Tray,
the hound that never ran a possum
in the daytime or rabbit after dark
is on the trail again, leading the pack
and teaching the puppies the gentle
art of picking up possum's trail in
dry forest underground where the
average dog couldn't find a sign of
the game. In connection with the
possum hunting season it is also in
teresting to note that Georgia's sweet
potato crop this year is one of the
largest and finest on record.

OF CLOCKS WILL BE
TURNED BACK SUNDAY

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 25-The United
States Government next Sunday, Oc-
tober II, will set back the clocks of
the railroads one hour, thus making
the close of the daylight plan until
next spring. Some have advocated,
on their enthusiasm, the continuous
use of the daylight saving
plan throughout the year. But this
would force the people to rise so earl
so early in the morning that they
would have to burn electric lights to
dress and eat breakfast by, and con-
servation of light is one of the prime
war necessities. The result would
robably be to throw the hours of be-
ginning work an hour later, thereby
losing the value of the daylight saw
ing plan. The whole thing has been
figured out by experts, and a return
to the former time is altogether more
desirable and economical at this sea-
son of the year. When the spring
season rolls around again, the clocks
will go up an hour, and daylight saw
ing will then be reality.

TAX EQUALIZATION LAW
PROVES BOON TO STATE

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 25.-The special
tax commission appointed by the
Legislature to draft a general revision
of the tax laws of Georgia will not
consider any backward step in the
direction of the old tax law so aptly
described as a system of passing
around the hat for taxes" Instead of
weakening the tax equalization law in
any particular, the commission will
undertake to make it stronger and
more thoroughgoing in the light of
its workings for the past four years.
Georgia's tax values under this act
have now increased beyond the bill
lion-dollar mark, and the states in
come, almost for the first time in its
history, is approaching in reach of
legislative expenditures. Coupled
with the equalization law, the inheri-
lance tax law, which was passed as
a companion measure during the adj
minstration of Governor John NJ
Slaton, has likewise brought into the
state treasury many thousands of dol
lars. The special tax commission held
several meetings in Atlanta last week
and will meet here again in Novem-
Der to begin a series of public hear
ings.
