Gated TO the Glass of 1919. and en-

swingy and is easily adapted either to

were many requests for its repetition.
The following are the words by Mid

The prowess of the Navy springs with
each ship new,
And every class does add unto that
prowess, too,
But Nineteen Nineteen-its duty nigh
Will hoist the Navy's standard still
more high
AS every man unto his post for service
goes
To fight to win this war for liberty.
Wher'er he goes, wher'er he roams,
what'er his duty may be,
His thoughts will turn and turn to
Nineteen Bosun pass this word.
Gather round all ye men of Nineteen
Adding fame for Navy,
AS every class, true to the last,
To our fair Alma Mater
Back to those dear Academy days
Let's take ourselves in memory,
Then render more homage to our Serv-
ice
AS members of Olde Nineteen.
The music was published by F. L.,
Lawson Co., New York. The frontis
piece is a photogravure of the battle
ships of the fleet underway" and the
page is surmounted by the Naval Acad-
emy crest with the 1919 Glass crest,

LOCAL BABIES TO
Be HELPED SOON.
Next Week Will See The Anna
polls And Anne Arundel
Campaign Launched.
FIRST LADY" TO HELP.
Mrs. Harrington, Chairman Of
Committee, Which Will Try
To Save The Infants.

Next week is to be Baby Week" in
Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.
Under the direction. and with the
backing, of the Children's Bureau,
U. s. Department of Labor, the moth
ers of this county are planning a
drive in behalf of the babies that. it
is hoped, will result in a patriotic re-
sponse to the governments slogan,
Every community must save its own
babies If they are to be saved at all"
Although the campaign is nation
wide, the efforts must come through
the local organizations and those in
this community are going whole
heartedly into the work of saving the
quota assigned to the county. In
Maryland the work is under the di-
rection of the Child Welfare Com
mittee of the Maryland Council-of De-
fense, Women's Section. Mrs. Emer-
son c. Harrington. wife of the Gov
ernor. is chairman for Anne Arundel
County for this committee, through
whom will be distributed to mothers
throughout the county cards on which
name, age, height, weight, etc, of
their children-one record to be sent
to the Child Welfare Committee in
Annapolis and one to be kept by the
mother. By this method a national
weighing and measuring test will be
undertaken first, as sort of stock
taking to afford basis for comput-
ing results at the end of the year.
The special aim of the campaign is to
save this year 100000 children under
5 years old who might otherwise die
from lack of care and proper feeding.
And that every community may be en-
abled to save its own babies, appor-
tionments have been made, based on
the Federal census of children under
5 years old for every State, city and
community. Maryland's quota is
1926, exclusive of Baltimore City's,
which is 600.
The plan of the local committee is
to begin next Monday with the dis
tribution of the weighing and meas
uring cards and then on the following
Monday to call for these cards fully
made out. On the cards full instruc-
tions are given for weighing and meas
uring and a table of standard weights
and heights for children of various
ages.
Miss Sarah Sutherland, the Visiting
District Nurse, will have charge of
the practical operations, and under
her supervisions all babies whose
weight and measurements do not come
up to standard will be given special
attention and treatment, With the
mothers consent.
The Public School Building III An
napolis will be used as headquarters
and after the ''stock-takins" d babies
a campaign of education and instruc-
tion will be carried on and clinics
held, all with the view of saving the
lives of babies that might otherwise
die for the lack Of just such organized
aid.

LADY BIGAMIST IS
TO BE TRIED HERE

When the Federal authorities in
Baltimore get through with Mrs. Cath
crime Lanahan-Hiller, the Baltimore
woman who, while still the wife -of
Walter Hitler, of that city, slipped
down to this city and took another
husband in the person of Sergeant Vir-
gil Hitler, then at Camp Meade, the
bigamist is to be brought to Anne
Arundel for trial. She has been held
in Baltimore under $1,500 bail, charg-
ed with fraudulently drawing wife's
allowance from the pay of Sergeant
Hitler But as the actual bigamy was
committed in Annapolis she will have
to be tried here upon that charge.
For this reason, warrant has been
sworn out and was yesterday receiv-
ed in Baltimore from the Office of
Sheriff Bells, of Annapolis.

PROPERTY TITLES ARE
ADDED TO THE TANGLE.
Annexation Complications Lead
To Recording Deeds In Bal
timore Office.

The first Anne Arundel County deed
to be filed at the Baltimore Record
Office was filed on Monday, when the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
took title from the Susquehanna Ice
Company to the old ice pond on An
napolis avenue. This was done as a
precautionary measure, inasmuch as
there is some difference in opinion
among lawyers as to just when the
Annexation Act becomes operative.
City Solicitor Field holds that the Act
becomes operative on January 1, next
sence of an express date in the bill
that it becomes operative on June 1.
The deed in question, of course, was
also filed for recording in Annapolis.

Baseball Helps
Fighting Men,
Asserts Tener
By President John K. Tener

Baseball, in common with all other
outdoor sports, in my opinion, should
be encouraged in times Of war "a
we'll as in times Of peace. Baseball
really had its origin during the Civil
War, when soldiers in that great con-
f1ict benefited themselves physically
and in spirit by engaging in this then
new game. This was true with the
soldiers in our war with Spain, as it
is true with our brave boys to-day who
have enlisted under the colors and are
either in the camps here or at the front
in France.
From the very inception Of the pres
ent war England has realized that to
keep her soldiers fit they must be given
opportunity to indulge in their favoritc
sports, and, by government appropri-
alton, that country has used a large
sum of money for the purchase of ath-
letic paraphernalia for use Of the nth
letes Of her army. President Wilson
has given every encouragement to, and
in fact has urged, tho continuance of
outdoor sports during the war
Players Also Arc Drafted
Under the sclectve draft or con-
scription act professional baseball
players are called TO the service of
their country precisely the same as
those in any other profession, voca-
tion or walk in life, and have answered.
and are just as ready to answer the
call either by enlistment or draft as
other patriotic citizens, but until that
call comes they must, as they should.
continue to earn their livelihood in the
profession which gives to them the
greatest compensating return and in
which they are most expert. Many
players have enlisted, and under the
operation of tho draft law baseball
has furnished it's quota
We all realize, especially at this
hour, tho pressing call that is upon
each of us to aid our country in doing
all In our power to quickly furnish
men and means to combat the enemy
and to ensure an early and complete
victory to our arms and this effort
wall be best sustained by getting into
the open and into tho sunshine occa-
sionaly ard by either WITNESSING or
participating in outdoor sports to gain
mat health and vigor and alcrtncsa Of
intellect necessary to do we'll the work
mat may come to our hand.
