THE ANGELUS
CALLS TO PRAYER
All AnnapOlitans Urged To Cease Ac-
tiyities Fer a Minute At Noon
Each Day and To Pray.

During the war, especially, has the
Angelus at st. Mary's been a call to
prayer at MONDAY, to many outside
the Roman Catholic faith, who were
within hearing of the bell. Now that
St Anne's church bell rings the call
to prayer at noon Immediately after
the stroke of twelve o'clock, there is
another bell in another part of the
city than can be heard and acts as
reminder for all to pray for the
successful issue of the war and the
Allies.
The Siren at the Naval Academy is
another reminder and another Ange-
lus for Annapolis. 1t blows at twelve
o'clock noon, and it is urged that
all people within hearing of the ST.
rem, the st. Mary's Angelus, the ST.
Anne's bell, cease for a few minutes
their daily activities, pause and offer
prayer for just one minute for the
safety of our boys cover There" par
ticularly those of this community, for
the success of our armies; for the
early termination of the war and for
the safe return of our soldiers
1t takes but little while to breathe
this prayer. The Mothers Circle has
been praying such prayer at noon
daily for some time; the Peggy Stew
art Tea Party Chapter has been pray
ing prayer with this sentiment for
some months, and many other people,
but Annapolis wants EVERYBODY
to PRAY at noon every day. In
Washington and other cities people
on the streets stop at the ringing of
the Augelus, and bow their heads in
prayer, why not in Annapolis?
Though little late in making the
Augelus a community affair, it is

EYERYRODY SAG

The nations leaders have sent forth
a call TO song. The country is re-
spending joyousIy We find commune
ty sings on every hand. In thea
tres, motion picture houses, in de-
partment stores, at public gatherings
of every sort, the people are singing.
The more they do il the better they
like it, and the official program of
music to keep up the spirits of the peo-
pie is being carried out enthusiastical-
ly because the people themselves have
felt the thrill of it.
Philadelphia has gone in for the
Liberty Song" which is simply the
community sing applied to every pos
sible occasion. Workers in the air
craft factory in the Philadelphia navy
yard have their own chorus. EN-
ployees in mills and factories get to-
gether at the noon hour and sing. No
club meeting is omplete-luncheon
clubs ncluded--without its song.
Groups, big and little, sing in the
parks and public squares. Theatri-
cal performances are frequently inter-
rupted by the appearance on the
stage of song leader who conducts a
Liberty Sing.
The songs that are being sung so
heartily in Philadelphia and in every
other community in the country are
the popular songs that the soldier in
the cantonment the sailor on ship
board and the folks at home would
normally choose for themselves. Much
OF il is very far from classical, but all
of II is worth while, for it voices ma
tural human emotions.
No enc can doubt the benefits to be
derived from all this musical express
sion. The inspiring effect can be read
by any observer on the faces of the
singers. The musical culture that will
inevitably follow the awakening in
our national life of this spirit of song,
will form a valuable gift to coming
generations.

tEfOm the New 1Ork SUM
We have not the means of verifying
the estimate of the breweries that To-
600 saloons in this city will be put out
of business next month by reason of
the execution ban on beer. but the fig
ure is round and fascinating and sug-
gestive.
Ten thousand bartenders would be
welcome in essential industry, if not
in the army.
Ten thousand hardwood bars could
be turned into gun stocks, ships furni-
ture, and peace conference tables.
Ten thousand sets of mirrors placed
in the environments would add to the
joy of the man putting on his first suit
of olive drab.
Ten thousand groups of private
stock" bottles could be used as ketch-
up containers
Ten thousand buRgstarters could be
adapted to shipyard use for the driv-
ing home of wooden keys. One of
these interesting weapons might be
sent to the Historical Society.
Ten thousand states, after careful
washing, could be used in schools.
Ten thousand vacated saloons

aggregating 100000 tons.
This alone is more shipping than
the U-boats sunk during the month,
counting all the tonnage turned out
BIZ our allies. II is as much as we
ever produced in year before the
war. Il is more than England. hither-
to the greatest OF shipbuiIding nations,
has ever produced in month.
The shipping board has now added
more than 100000 tons TO the
American merchant feet available for
war service. The first million tons re-
CURED nine months to produce. The
second million was delivered in a lit
tie OYER three months. The third mill
lion may be produced in two months
This is the finest season for ship con-
struction, and We are getting our
stride
II is worth noting that the public
doesn't pay much attention any more
to the shipping situation. That is
significant fact, when we consider our
perturbation year ago. The one peril
we feared most has been met and con-
quered We now take ships for grant
ed, even in view of shipping demand
far greater than we foresaw. to carry
supplies for a larger fighting force
than we expected TO send abroad.
The victory over the U-boats is de-
cisiye. They are no longer a national
peril. but only an annoying pest.
That victory was fundamental.
Without it, the military successes of
these last few weeks WOULD have been
impossible. And it is a continuing vic
tory, keeping pace with the triumphal
progress of Foch's armies.
We might say that ii is no less than
half Of Americas contribution to the
war. And when our soldiers smash
across the Rhine, in giving them the
credit and glory they deserve let us
not forget the quiet business men and
unobstrusive workmen at home who
made their triumph possible.

THE CHRISTMAS COMPROMISE

The War Industries Board, in put
ting Christmas on war basis, has
made what will seem to most people
an extremely wise compromise.
The Board found upon investigation
that most of the goods intended for
the Christmas trade had already been
manufactured, and that especially in
the case of toys, lumber and other ma
terials had been used which were left
over from the manufacture of other
products.
The workshops of Santa Claus,
therefore, have been left intact by the
War Industries Board. But a ban is
placed on the buying for adults of
other than useful articles. And no
merchant will be permitted to in
crease his selling hours or to hire ex-
ira help.
This means that the shopping
early" plea of previous years has now
the force of an eoiet. AS there will
be no extra help. no extra hours. dur
ing the last few weeks before Christ
mas. so there must be no terrible ex-
ira burden upon the employees.
The exhaustion of store people for
weeks before and after the great holt
day as well as the senseless extrava-
gance of Christmas giving, has be-
come a national scandal. At time
when every one is asked to think of his
purchases in terms of man and woman
power, when waste-avoidance and
thrift are the order of the day. these
abuses can no longer be endured.
Spiritual things, also, are taking on
more nearly their proper value in
lives of men and women. 1t is not the
exchange of the material gifts which
should count, but the spirit of good
will to all
Let the children have their toys and
happiness, therefore, on this their day.
And for those whom you wish to re-
member substantially. buy things of
use and value and lasting quality.
Waste no money or man-power on
things of show.
This will not only follow the plan of
the War Industries Board, but it will
help to bring Christmas back to the
place where it belongs in the hearts
of the people
