CAMP MEADE HELLO
WORK DISCUSSED.
June Copy Of "Transmitter"
Tells OF Work At Big Anne
Arundel Camp.

Why. I've turned down a major,
said the chief operator. We have no
choice in the matter. While we're in
camp were under military law, and
those are the orders that came down
from headquarters"
''But there are plenty of public tele-
phones in camp. at convenient loca-
tions. and the officers need not worry"
Thus is one of the Camp Meade c.
& p. Exchange quoted in the June
number of The Transmitter. in most
interesting description of the workings
of the telephone arrangements for the
big camp located in the upper part of
Anne Arundel
The principal article in this. an ex-
ceptionally live" number of the c. &
p. monthly, is most interesting de-
scription of the difficulties and even
the pleasures of the work of keeping
the big cantonment in touch with the
outer world by its telephone lines.
Incidentally, the establishment of the
Camp Meade connections for a time
were in measure responsible for the
overlooking of lines in all of this sec
tion of Maryland. However this con-
dition has been met and the new Camp
Meade lines are now separate from all
other connections and not dependent
upon them.

MAY USE CONVICTS ON
KING GEO. ST. BRIDGE

Inauguration of the plan for the
use of convict labor in road construc-
ton with its probable use later on in
the reconstruction of the College
Creek bridge connecting this city with
the Baltimore Boulevard at the foot of
King George street. will take place
this week in State road work.
Repair work on the Washington
Baltimore Boulevard was started yes
terday, but it will take the contractor
several days to get his machinery in
place, however, so that, perhaps, 1t
will be well toward the end of the
week before he will call upon the
Roads Commission to supply him with
the convicts il has arranged with the
Board of Prison Control to put to
work on the road
Work was started in the neighbor-
hood of Laurel and will be carried on

WANT WAR GARDEN
ON POSTOFFICE LAWN

Last year, and again this. when the
cry is that all land be used for plant
ing war gardens. there has come to
the city postoflice. through the post
master the query: why does the
government not practice what it
preaches?" or words to that effect. A
number of people have appealed to
this Office, which has in turn, appeal
ed to the postmaster to know why
city postoffice on Northwest street, is
not planted in potatoes and corn, or
bush beans and tomatoes, or even to-
bacco, that is now bringing $240 a
hogshead. Instead the lawn is being
carefully mown, at intervals, to keep
it beautiful, and yesterday two men
were engaged at this kind of work
One war gardener said the postoffice
lot would grow at least fifty bushels
of potatoes Think of it," he ex-
claimed, and furthermore, there are
many industrious Annapolitans who
are willing to work the land.
When this paper took the matter
up with Postmaster Linthicum he said
there were on his desk letters to the
government relative to war garden
proposition that was brought up last
year, and again this. "The govern
ment does not seem inclined to culti-
vate this ground" he said, "for rea-
sons of its own"
The same seems true of the Navy
golf links, and the White House lawn,
and other bits of "uncultivated"
ground hereabouts. why not cult
vate State House hill2" has been ask
ed. Who is prepared to answer?

the coming fiscal years tax levy for

To Old Classmates.

Every High School Glass, like the

The annual Glass Day exercises

mey, presided. The boys wore white
trousers and white shirts with purple
hose and ties to match, the class col
ors being purple and white. The girls
looked charming in white skirts and
shirtwaists and they, too, wore purple
hose and purple ties. The effect was
pleasing.
The program opened with the Secre-
tary calling the roll of the original
class which numbered ninety-one
members, all of whom except thirty
seven have dropped out Those who
had fallen by the wayside had their
names answered for them as to the
they were engaged. One is midship-
man, Howard Gates, another just
passed from the service of the navy as
candidate for Harry
Crandall. Edgar Clark is in the Army
so is Carroll Worthington. 1t took a
long time to call the roll of 81, but its
calling was amusing and excited much
merriment.
Throughout the program there was
manifest informality. The class drank
grape juice TO its hearts content and
ate candy, as if there was no such
thing as the conservation of sugar.
Fcur of the boys, black-face comed-
being Wash Claude and Allen Stein,
and all made great fun, and were
Ilaughter-provoking.
The Glass Historian, Miss Regina
|Greenberg, read the class history, and
the class Prophecy was read by Will
lam Phipps, the class prophet, who
foresaw and foretold great things and
wonderful achievements Tor the 1918
|class.
1t fell to the lot of Miss Esther
Stone, better known as "Queenie," to
make the class will. which document
was shaped with all wisdom, the last
will and testament of the class be-
|queathing its virtues to its successors.
The Glass Ode was composed by the
class poetess, Miss Minnie Lipman
and was sung to the tune of Liberty
Bells, with touching effect and marked
realism
Mock diplomas were presented each
member of the class and all who had
been members and who were present
on this memorable occasion. after
which the exercises closed with the
presentation of gifts to each other and
the teachers.
