EXCELLENT PROGRAM
AT THE ARMORY.
Vaudeville Performance BY The
Service Men For Service Men
OF The Army And Navy.
MASCOT DOG APPROVES.
Ships Company OF The u. S. S.
Wasp Give A Creditable
Show.

The vaudeville given last night at
the State Armory by the Musical and
Dramatic Committee, under the di-
rection of the chairman, Miss Heffen-
ger, proved one of the most brilliant
successes of the eight months work
of this committee The unusual ex-
cellence of the program, the great en-
thusiasm of the large crowd of service
men who filled every chair and
thronged the gallery of the large drill
room, to say nothing of the insistent
applause of the regiments mascot dog,
"Shep," who barked joyously his ap-
proval, all combined to make an eve
ming to be remembered
The program was largely given by
the service men themselves, assisted
by we'll known Annapolis talent The
singing of the quartette from the u. S.
S. Wasp was distinct surprise. I'M
der the leader, Mr.. w. II. Brooks, they
did some very artistic work to the de-
light OF the audience Mr.. Brooks, a
beautiful tenor and an artist, gave
as a solo THE Perfect Day" in charm
ing style. The trio, violin, guitar and
mandolin, from the naval rifle range,
under Mr.. Kain, leader, brought down
the house with their fetching playing.
Mr.. Kain is a beautiful violinist, and
it is a pity he could not have been
heard in a solo. The soft shoe dane
ing of Mr.. Covelle aroused much en-
thusiasm. He ought to be on Keith
Circuit, for one rarely sees such dane
ing elsewhere. Mr.. Foley did great
rangtime playing. and sustained the
reputation he so well deserves.
The ladies and gentlemen from An
napolis, who gave their service helped
to round out a beautiful program.
Mrs. Biles and Mrs King sang two
charming duets and Mr.. Shenton gave
two very appropriate baritone solos I'm
fine tsyle. They were most acceptably
rendered in very good voice. Mrs.
King gave a very sweet and musical
solo and Prof Handy read two delight
full poems from Rhymes of a Red
Cross Man." by Robert W. Service,
now amongst the most popular read
ings for camp use.
After the program was finished the
Mems Hospitality Committee, under
Mr.. Linthicum and Mr.. Armstrong,
treated the men to ice cream, their
enjoyment Of which was delightful to
see. they were like boys out of school
in their frank pleasure at the unex-
pected treat.
Since Mr.. Guy Mitchell has left the
armory as General Secretary, his
place has been filled by Mr.. Joseph
M. Armstrong, and will continue to be
so filled until the newly appointed
Secretary arrives. which is expected in
few days

Why Scab On Potatoes?

Many potatoes in the county were
badly injured the past season by scab.
this can Dee eliminated by careful dip
ping of the uncut potatoes, says Coun-
y Agent Whiteford, and as the cost
small and results large, this should
be done
The method is as follows: Use
p.ut of formalin to 40 gallons of wa
ter place the uncut potatoes in this
solution for two hours. On taking
them out do not place them in bags or
baskets in which they were previously
unless these have been dipped also or
they viii be re-infected Many who
have tried this treatment have found
% very efficient Give it a trial

member the very dapper appearance
of the newest member of the Maryland
Senate during his several very ex-
cellent speeches upon the floor of the
General Assembly of 1913, the idea
is probably startling. but it is true
The Senator from Allegany a day or
two ago joined the other lawyers of
Cumberland in unloading freight as a
patriotic effort to break the freight
embargo existing there.
This is an off season for the lawyers.
The next term of court is in October

SHERWOOD FORESTERS
PROTEST HIGH FARES.
Members Of Corporation Near
Igleharts Station Want Com
mutation Continued.

Several members of the Sherwood
Forest Club yesterday filed with the
Public Service Commission a protest
against the application of the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Rail-
way Company for permission to can
eel Communication fares between An
napolis and points on the Annapolis
branch of it's line.
They protested especially against
the proposal to cancel all 50-trip
yearly Communication tickets. 1t was
stated in the protest that the club has
more than 100 members and that many
of them have built cottages and perm
anent quarters at Sherwood Forest
and one of the things that led them to
do so was the belief that the commu-
tation rates then in effect would be
continued
The company's request for permis-
sion to increase its rates was predi-
Gated upon the increases the govern
ment has made in the fares charged by
steam operated roads.

TO RESTRICT
OVERSEAS MAIL.
Orders From Officer In Command
Of Unit Must Be Presented
At Post Office.

The War Department announces
that, because of the congestion of the
railroads in France, no exception can
be made to the recent requirement
that persons desiring to ship parcel
post packages to soldiers overseas
must present at the post Office an or
der from the major or higher officer
commanding the unit to which the SOL
dier is attached. This rule also ap-
plies to persons abroad attached to
the Y. M. c. A, Red Cross and similar
organizations.
The Department said that relatives
and friends of the soldiers will find it
possible to do greater service to
the men by sending them money for
the purchase of articles in France than
by forwarding articles, as most sup
plies can be obtained there

Sailors Need Smokes"

their smokes.
OF course one mans self denial
wouldn't help lot But if every man
would give up three smokes day and
send all their tobacco certificates to
the Woman's Auxiliary Navy and Re
lief Branch. st the Hotel Biltmore,
New York City, it would be great
help.
