Thrift Stamps. Remember, please,
this is not charity; it is simply loyal
ty to your country, as our Govern
ment will pay you the money back

Will you help those boys who are
on the firing line? For Heavens

to the limit, through this plan. Your
country needs your services. Do it

Remember the Suffering Poor

A person asked me yesterday if
there was much suffering. With the
snow a foot deep and no work, he
should have known there was suffer
ing.
Oh, friends, humanity is shivering
and hungry all around you; do not
wait to be called on for help. but go
at once and give Mr.. Edwin Dashiell,
the treasurer of the United Chart
ties, or to your minister. Do not
delay. Are you waiting to hear Of
some one freezing before you help
to save that one? Christ gave His
life for humanity; can we not give a
few dollars to help those for whom
He died?
A man came to me a few days ago
and asked to trim some trees in or
der to get wood. Don't you suppose
the man needed wood and needed it
badly? T. II. MEDFORD.

MARTIN THOMAS KILLED
BY FREIGHT TRAIN
Son of Mrs. Ida Thomas, of This
City, Was Driving Truck Which
Encountered a Fast Freight.

Martin F. Thomas, 20 years old,
Of Annapolis, commissary steward at
the United States Navy Commissary
Department of the Naval Academy,
at Annapolis, was instantly killed
and Elijah Griggs, also of Annapolis,
had a narrow escape from serious
injury, when a fast moving freight
train struck the automobile truck in
which the two were riding at First
street and Maryland avenue, Brook
Ign, Anne Arundel county, yesterday
afternoon. The truck, which was
driven by Thomas, was demolished,
being turned completely about by
the force of impact, which threw
Thomas for 80 feet. Griggs, who
was sitting beside him, vas able to
jump when he saw the train APP
preaching, but Thomas attempted to
get the machine from the track and
in doing so stalled the engine. The
train was composed of about 40 cars
destined for Curtis Bay and was 60
ing at a fast rate in order to nego-
tiate the bad turn near Brooklyn.
DR.. Charles H. Brooks, of Third
street, arrived shortly after the &C.
cident, and when he examined
Thomas he pronounced him dead.
Death was believed due to a frac-
tured skull. The body was removed
to the Brooklyn Police Station NOR
que, where an inquest was held last
night by Magistrate John F. Potee.
The truck was proceeding toward
Annapolis, where it was to deliver
its load of edibles intended for mid
shipmen there. After the wreck
there was mad scramble for eggs,
butter and meats, and many resi-
dents, including those living in the
neighborhood and those who came
from other parts of the town, left
the scene with baskets filled with
edibles Of all kinds.
The residents of the town are
aroused as a result of the accident,
blaming the railroad for not placing
gates at the crossing, which has re-
Gently been the scene of a number of
serious accidents. The Board of
County Commissioners ordered gates
to be placed at the crossing several
months ago, and the railroad agreed
to comply. 1t is believed that gov
eminent officials will force the road
to build gates there, because of the
enormous traffic over the road for
government purposes.
Mr.. Thomas was a son of Mrs. Ida
and the late John H. Thomas, of the
Neck District In addition to his
mother, the deceased leaves a wife,
who, before her marriage, was Miss
Irene Downey, and two small chill
dren. He is also survived by three
sisters. Mrs. Spencer E. Holland,
and Miss Stella Thomas, of this city,
and Mrs. Wallace Spedden, of the
Neck District, and two brothers,
Messrs. George C. and Alexander
| Thomas, of the Neck district.
Funeral services will be held from
his late home at Annapolis tomorrow
afternoon at 8 o'clock.

Scent a Mystery.

Strange that story told some years
ago about an ancient tree in cOun-
try town. Under it was once found
the body Of a woman clasping in her
hand some wild thyme, says an eX-
change. Nobody knew her, and no
wild thyme grew near. Yet after
wards a strong, unmistakable scent
Of wild thyme was often noticed I'M
der the tree. The scent haunted the
spot; people wholly ignorant Of the
circumstances could smell it, and
would look for the plant which was not
there.
