Church Closing and Fuel Saving

The following from the New York
World is OF peculiar local interest:
May / as a clergyman firmly but
modestly protest against the sugges-
ton that the citys churches close
their doors during the fuel shortage
for conservation purposes? Briefly
my grounds for protest are as fol-
lows:
During the present world catastro-
phe only the religious bodies can
give consolation to the many thous-
ands who soon are doomed to loss Of
dear ones by bereavement
Religion and religious instruction
are more necessary in these times
than particularly more so than,
at least questionable, amusements.
Should cafes, saloons and theatres
keep open while the church closes her
activities even of a semi-spiritual
character?
Above all, would not warm and
comfortable church on Sundays be not
only spiritual blessing but perhaps
a temporal refuge for some poor folk
whose homes lack warmth and COM
fort?
Please present this thought in
refutation of the diabolical suggestion
that spiritual agencies should be put
under taboo TO encourage conservation
of fuel.

FIRE IN BUREAU DRAWER
Destroys $3.50 In Money-Loss Of Mr.
And Mrs c. c. Weldon

Friends of Mr.. and Mrs C. c..
Weldon, Green and Main streets, are
condoning with them on the loss of
$3.50, in money, burned up in fire
last Friday morning in their home.
How the fire occurred is mystery,
and csn only be accounted Cor by light
ing lamp on the bureau, and par
ticles of the lighted match dropping in
the drawer where the bag Of money
was kept.
1t WAS the night of the storm last
week, and at II o'clock Mrs. Weldon
had been up and observed the meteoric
light seen by many Annapolitans. At
A. so Mr.. Weldon YVES awakened by a
choking sensation and when he was
fully aroused discovered the house on
fire. - He attempted to awaken his
wife, but she was unconscious from
the smoke. He threw up windows and
after reviving Mrs. Weldon an at
tempt was made to put out the fire.
A bureau in the adjoining room was
in a blsze. the fire havin been smould-
ering for some time in the top drawer
With the cid of Mr.. Harrington, a
neighbor, the fire was put out, the
greatest loss being the contents Of the
bureau drawer $3.50 in twenty dollar
notes.

DECLINES TO RELEASE
ACCUSED NEGRO ON BAIL
So Samuel Adams. COlored, Charged
With Criminal Assault is Remanded
To County Jail.

Judge Moss in the Anne Arundel
Circuit Court here today declined to
order the release from the County ia il
on habeas corpus petition, of Samuel
Adams, colored, charged with crimi
nslly assaulting Bertha Brown, a
negress.
Adams, who was committed to Jail
about ten days ago. without bail, to
await the action of the Grand Jury of
the April term of the Court, had ar
ranged to give bail if it would be ac-
copied by the Court, but Judge Moss
declined to act favorably in the prem
Uses, largely, it is understood, on ac-
count of the seriousness of the offense
charged against the negro. Adams
was therefore remanded to jail.
The crime charged against Adams
was committed en- the night of Deem
Der "a last. Christmas Eve, near the
National cemetery on the outskirts of
the city.

LOW PAY FOR MAIL SERVICE
Bill Now P ndiag For Increase Fir
Since 1907.

The postal employees OF Kansas
City. who would receive increases in
pay under bill now pending In Con-
gress, have issued statement show
ing the wages and working conditions
OF men in the United States mail
service. The statement is issued TO
show why increases should be made
in the wage scale and to enlist public
support of the bill now pending.
Following is the statement:
Do you know
That. contrary to the. general be-
lief. the postal employee receives no
pension?
The postal employees have received
but one increase in wages in forty
years; this only increase was granted
in 1907 when the dollar would go
twice as far as it does today.
The minimum wage is 1929 per day,
27A cents per hour; the maximum
wage is 1888 per day, AIS cents per
hour, and it takes on an average of
nine years service TO attain the maxi
mum scale.
That postal employees lose their
time while off duty in case of illness.
That it requires an Act of Congress
| to make readjustments in the wage
scale. Congress in its last session
granted all government employees ex-
cept those employed in the Postoffice
Department an increase in wages.
In all other lines of employment
wages have been increased from time
to time (and in most instances vol
UNFAIRLY on the part of the employer)
| to meet the ever increasing cost OF
living, until conditions in the postal
service do not compare favorably
with conditions elsewhere. Ordinary
unskilled labor in Kansas City is re-
ceiving As cents per hour, while the
postal employees receives from 27%
cents tc Al cents.
| That the letter carrier serves as a
| substitute on an average of three
years before becoming regular car
rier, earning on an average of less
than 50 per day during their period.
He must purchase his own uniform,
which has advanced in price fully so
per cent in the last ten years.
That the postoffice clerk must
memorize and master difficult distri-
button schemes, from three to five
thousand facts must be borne in mind
continually and constantly This is
absolutely necessary in order to ia
cilitate the rapid dispatch and deliv-
cry of mail matter This study ne
| cessitates as much concentration as
J most professions, this must be done at
home and there is no compensation for
| same.
That more than sc per cent of the
clerks labor is performed after 8
O'Clock at night, and the greater por-
| ton of that is performed after mid
night, for which they receive no more
pay than for day work; this night
work necessitates the sacrifice of all
social life with his family and friends,
which he values as highly as anyone.
The British postal service long ago
recognized seven hours night work as
equivalent to eight hours day work.
That on the whole this calling is
more or less peculiar in so far as the
knowledge one gains after years OF
| service is absolutely useless in any
other line of business; when an en-
ployee has served faithfully anywhere
from ten to forty years, he has UNI
| fitted himself for almost any other
pursuit.-Kansas City Times.

SOLDIERS IN GOOD TRIM

Corporal PuucheOn, on Furlough,
Brings Tidings Of BOys-TO Join
Signal Corns.

Bringing tidings of the general
good health and high spirits Of the
Maryland soldiers in camp at Camp
Mcclellan, Admission. Ala, and par
ticularly as regards the boys from
home. who belong to the One Hun
dred and Fifteenth United States In
fantry. formerly the old First Regi-
ment OF Maryland Guardsmen, Cor
poral Charles Puncheon, member
of the Machine Gun Company of that
organization, arrived in Annapolis
last night on several days leave Of
absence.
Corporal Puncheon has been trans
ferred to the Signal Corps of the
army. Upon leaving Annapolis with
in few days he will join a class OF
students for instruction at train
ing school in New Jersey, and 1t is
understood he will eventually be de-
tailed for active duty on the French
battle front Corporal Puncheon was
formerly an enlisted men of the navy,
and for some time he was employed
as a telephone operator in the Naval
Academy exchange. When Uncle
Sam took down his gun and went to
war with Germany and called the
State Guardsmen into active service
of the nation, Corporal Puncheon was
among the first to offer himself for
enlistment in the Machine Gun Com
pany. The organization of this COM
pany had its inception in Annapolis
and the roster was short of the full
complement when plans for mobiliza-
ton for Federal service were launch
ed last year.

SARCENT'S PORTRAIT
OF PRESIDENT WILSON
$50, 900 Fee Goes To Red Cross
Painting at the Metropolitan,
New York.

John s. Sargent's $4,000 oil por-
trait of President Wilson was placed
on view in the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, New York, Saturday, where it
will remain until February 10. 1t has
been shown for several weeks in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington,
and following the New York exhibit
ton it may be seen elsewhere. The
final destination will be the Dublin
Art Gallery, legatee of the art posses
sions of Sir Hugh Lane, who was di-
rector of that institution, and who
was lost with the Lusitania. Mr.. Sar-
gent offered to paint the portrait for
$50 900 and to give the money to the
Red Cross, and Sir Hugh Lane gave
the order for it.
The President is seen seated and
leaning slightly forward, as~if in at
tentive conversation. He wears the
conventional frock coat The model
ling of the face, which eminently
characterizes Sargent portraits, will
inevitably invite comparison with the
Henry G Marquand portrait in a
neighboring gallery in the museum
and perhaps not to the advantage OF
the latest work; but the canvas bears
the unmistakable stamp of Sargent
and it is far the best portrait of the
President yet shown in public.
There are Sargent portraits OF the
late William NJ. Chase and OF a
young priest in the museum, and also
gypsy and hermit canyases by him,
which will enable visitors to become
fairly acquainted with Sargent's work.
He is conceded by artists to be the
first of living portraitists.

gold because ships cannot be
spared TO transport it.
Every 5.0OO-ton ship which
can be saved by giving
England sugar from Cuba
means the release Of a ship
which can make three trips
and take q total Of 5000 SEX
diers from the United States
to France.
IL we can save the Allies
from taking any Java sugar
in 1918, we will release for
transport purposes enough
ships to carry over 10 the
Western front and supply
about 10000 to 100000
soldiers.
At the same time, we will
also be giving the Allies the
necessary sugar. Therefore,
it is to the interest of the
common cause to save ships
and send soldiers.
The American Sugar Re-
filming Company has put forth
every possible effort to keep
UP the supply OF sugar for the
United States, even in limited
quantities, and to stabilize
the price TO the consumer.
In order to enable tElewidest
possible distribution of sugar
SO that all may have some
sugar-we distribute Domino
Cane Sugars IN convenient
size packages.
These small unit cartons
and cotton bags enable gro
GERS to limit their sales SO that
waste and boarding may be
prevented.
1t will be necessary for
grocefS and consumers to
watch carefully their diStri-
button and purchases during
the approaching period Of re-
adjustment. The refineries
are now starting up and sup
plies Of raw sugar coming for
ward, but it will take weeks,
and possibly months, for the
return Of normal conditions.
Housewives can cooperate
with this plan by buying
these package sugars.

Indispensable food.
And they came to Cuba
the main source uson which
the United States depends for
its cane sugar. During 1917.
Cuba sold and shipped TO
Europe nearly l.00O.00O tons
Of raw sugar-ole-third Of Its
crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption
of sugar as food in this coun-
try, the nationwide move
ment to save the fruit crop
last season greatly increased
its use.
But this increased con-
sumption Of sugar has been a
real factor In combating
waste. Il enabled the Arner;-

The sugar is not only in the
fruit Jar, but it has carried

veg etables which would
otherwise have been lost.
Sugar itself is not only a food,
but it is also the great pre-
server Of other foods.
AS the demand for sugar
grew. both here and abroad,
Cuba's supply was exhausted
last fall. Every available
ton in Porto Rico and other
cane sugar countries was ac-
quired. But this was not

cording to the statement Of many
witnesses he was approaching the
crossing as an irregular train came
= The enginee~ va running at a
rapid rate of speed, which he never
slackened until after the accident.
He did blow the whistle and the Cap
tain heard it and looked about think
ing it an approaching automobile,
seeing nothing he continued his way.
The train was approaching on his
blind side and he did not see it.
There was nothing to obstruct the
view of the engineer. He said that
he saw the old man approaching the
crossing. but thought that he would
stop. He never got on the track, but
near enough to be struck by a wooden
beam and hurled eleven feet. He
sustained two broken ribs, a small
bone broken in his right arm. and
had his back wrenched, besides be-
