ROUSING MEETING
FOR LIBERTY LOAN
Clagget's Hall Has Patriotic
Audience Despite Inclement
Weather Conditions.

In spite of the terrible down pour
last Saturday night and the bad con-
dition of the county roads, Claggetts
Hall in the Eighth district was the
scene of a most successful Liberty
Loan meeting.
To the local members of the Nation
al Women's Liberty Loan Committee,
is due the credit Owing to the in
clemency of the weather the only
members of the staff present were
Miss Harriet Estep, Leader, Mrs r. j.
Hall and Miss Margaret Sherbert
Mr. Richard Estep. of Tudor Hall,
acted as chairman and presided at the
meeting.
Never has q community been more
honOred than on this occasion when
it was addressed by Major Milter. Of
the English Army, who is the one sur
viving man of his regiment of eleven
hundred.
His address was most touching and
was given along lines of personal ex-
perience in such a modest way one
could scarcely believe that he, the
man speaking, had been the hero of
the events of which he told.
Following Major Milter, came Mr.
Ridgely p Melvin, of Annapolis. whose
patriotic address stirred every one
present to such an extent that when
Mr. L. T. Evans, of Washington. one
of the most patriotic workers in
America today, stood up,and in a
quiet. but very forceful way told every
man his duty was to buy a Liberty
Bond, the response was overwhelm-
ing.
From a handful of about fifty peo-
pie was realized the staggering sum
of fOrty-two thousand three hundred
dollarSl
Mrs w. T. Shackelford, Jr. of Bal
timore, rendered several patriotic
songs in a very delightful manner
Mrs. Shackelford was accompanied by
most efficient pianist, Mrs Howden.

NAVY GETS A REAL
HEAVY WALLOPING.
Swarthmore Proves Too Much
For The Sailors In Game
PLAYED Yesterday.

For the first time in a long while
Navy was blanked yesterday after
noon in the most loosely played con-
test a MILDLY team has been guilty of
for years. The final tally was to 0
in favor of the visitors.
The Middies fielded miserably in the
first and fourth innings. when the Wis
itors gathered all of their runs, al
though the Garnet team well deserved
the victory, as it made three bingles
when the Middies were up in the air.
Indicating the sharpness of the field
ing by SwarthmOre players, the Mid
dies did not get a runner as far as the
third corner
The booting started with the very
first man up when Ewell got on
through Pino's mussing up of an easy
one Bakers error advanced him to
second, while White was allowed to
get a fielder's choice. Then Carnog
hit and after Ewell was home An
derson contributed another error that
let the second run in.
Then in the fourth when Larkin
had hit and stolen second and Webb
had followed suit Welchel and Baker
each contributed miscues which let in
three runs. In this inning Ogden, of
the visitors, was out for running out
side the baseline when caught be-
tween second and third when Ewell
dropped down an easy grounder to
Pine.
The score.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
WATER MEASURE.
Local Bill Among The Five He
Selects For Approval Out OF
Total Of Over Sixty.
WILL APPOINT MELVIN.
Mayor Strange Given Power
Which Was Formerly Lodged
In Council. Other Local
Bills Killed.

Running true to form Governor
Harrington yesterday afternoon sign
ed the bill amending the charter of the
Annapolis Water Company, in such
way as to allow the immediate ap-
pointment by Mayor James f.
Strange of Mr. George T. Melvin to
succeed himself as president of the
Water Company. This bill, which has
probably caused more discussion and
feeling in Annapolis than any piece of
local legislation introduced in many
years, was one of only five bills which
the Governor signed out of total of
GA which were awaiting his action.
Included in the bills which the Gov
ernor allowed to die through refus-
ing to sign them until after the time
limit had expired on them, were four
measures of interest to Anne Arundel
County. One of these was the meas
ure providing that the State Roads
Commission should at once taken over
and care for The South River bridge in
this county which is a link in the An
napolis to Solomon's Island boule-
ward The others were: Regulating
the size of nets for fishing in GER
tain waters of Anne Arundel County;
Regulating the inspection of tobacco
in Southern Maryland, and Providing
for licenses for auctioneers in this
county.
OF those signed; the most important
was that permitting racing at Pim-
lico after the annexation act became
effective.
Most of the bills turned down were
local measures, some of which, like
the Charles County bills, being du-
plicates of others that had been sign
ed previously.
Altogether the legislature passed Is
joint resolutions, which do not re-
quire the Governors signature, and
4S9 bills, of which 430 became laws, SO
having been. unsigned, and, therefore,
failed.
The most important resolution
adopted was that ratifying the fed
eral prohibition amendment, and the
most important bill passed was that
extending Baltimore Oity's limits.

IN MEMORIAM OF
A NOBLE WOMAN.

In the recent death OF Miss Amelia
Grason Pinkney at Annapolis, Md. at
the ripe age of as years. the Girls
Friendly Society in America loses one
of its pioneer members in the United
States Nearly two score years ago
she entered upon the work she loved
so well and served so faithfully. She
was appointed Branch Secretary in
the third branch established in this
country, the first being in Massachu-
setts. the second in Baltimore, under
Mis- Eva Alexander, who came to
Annapolis to form a third, of which
she appointed Miss Pinkney the sec
retary A small beginning, Il few
members, today the G. f. S. A. eX-
tends from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
covers the continent with a member
ship of more than $4,000. Miss Pink
ney served as the head of the society
in Annapolis from 1879 to 1908 when
failing health decided her to give up
active work. But she always refused
to the end of her long life to be class
ed as an Honorary Associate" say
ing she was a working associate;
which If persistent work among girls.
assisting the rector to prepare class
es for confirmation, having clases in
her own home after she was unable
to leave it, constitutes a working as
sociate, truly she was entitled to the
name. After the close of her active
work she was elected Life member
Of the Council of America"
Miss Pinkney came of a distinguish
ed Maryland family, being the daugh-
ter of DR.. Ninian Pinkney u. S. Navy,
and niece of Bishop Pinkney of the
diocese of Maryland. She was a wo-
man of culture and ability and was a
life long member of historic old St
rAnne's Church, the quaint porches OF
her picturesque home, upon which
she lived most of the year, looking
straight across upon the simple
stately old church and the wonderful
old churchyard with its colonial
tombs, bearing names dating back to
the early formation of the ancient
city of Annapolis. now the mecca for
hundreds of tourists.
She led life of self-denial and rare
piety along the lines of those godly
women who are privileged to give their
work to Christ in the different sister
hoods of the church, but which in her
case, was denied her, by reason of
imperative duties and responsibilities
which she recognized as coming first
in her life and for which she gave
unmurmuringly what she assured the
writer had been the dream of her ear
ly womanhood
Truly the G. f. 5. A. has a right to
be proud that the love and interest of
this Mother in Israel was theirs to the
end of her long and noble life

A|RNATS VOTED BEST
NAME FOR AIR FIGHTERS
(By The Associated Press.)


PARIS, Sept. 26.-"A irnats" will
take its place beside "poilus" and

result of the appeal made by the
Plane News, the organ OF the Ameri-
can lAir Service, for suggestions for
the best nickname for fighters in the
air service. About three hundred
names We're proposed by readers from
which a committee selected twenty
five A vote was taken of the ayia-
tors at the great American aviation
school where the Plane News is pub
lished with the results that the name
of ''Airnats" was chosen 1T was sug-
gested by Sergeant G. B. Swafford, of
the 655th Aero Squad, to whom was
awarded the first prize OF 500 Other
names considered were "Sky Larks,"
Joy Boys Eagles" 'fStarbooters,"
'iSkyscrapers, ''Larks,' WAR Eag-
les" ''Sky b." .'Sky Jackies,' and
"Joy Stickers'''
"a Matin reporter who visited the
camp just after the selection was
made halls the name as clear, light
and neat" but he misses some of its
aptness as he says, ''the name has no
particular Specification, being an alb
breviation OF 'aeronauts.'' 9
