A Plea For The S. P. c. A.

In all this busy time, when calls on
both the heart and pocket are so nu-
merous, we hesitate to ask for more!
Yet the great heart of the world has
never been more open to sympathy
and its hand reader to help than now.
AS the hot weather comes on ami
mals-the faithful friend and SER
wants OF man-sufter many unneces-
sary pangs and it is our part to
help save them when we can. Just
a little money will do so much, and
this brave Society, founded and most
generously aided year by year by
woman who no longer lives in this
County or State, is struggling to do
it's work with the least possible ex-
pense, and a very small membership.
Will not some animal lovers, who
do not yet belong to it, join us? The
sum of one dollar year is all we
ask. unless you choose to give more,
and our treasury is rapidly being de-
pleted unless we have your help. The
smallest contributions will be most
thankfully received and may be sent
to DR. Samuel Garner, president, or
Mrs. A. c. Hill. secretary.

Investigating Complaints Of AL

Mr.. Dick Interviewed.

Yesterday and today Mr.. Warren
Dick. a Federal employee, has been in
Annapolis investigating the complaints
of alleged overcharge for coal. Mr..
Dick has been sent here by the Fuel
Administration to look into complaints
made by consumers and to regulate
the gross margins dealers profits) on
all coal handled locally.
Mr.. Dick said that it appeared that
dealers either could not or would not

the commodity whose price has been
regulated by the government, such as

placarded one dealer for seven days
for charging twenty-five cents per ton

HONORS PAID TO
OLD GLORY TODAY.
Flag Day Observed Fittingly In
This City, County, State
And Nation.
NO SPECIAL FEATURES.
Residences, State, and Other
Buildings Display The Ma
tional Colors, However.

With a very general display OF the
colors from residences and places of
business, as well as from the muni-
ciple, county, state and national build
ngs, Annapolis observed Flag Day
today without any particular cere-
monies Particularly sacred to the
country was the observance this year
because of the presence of "Old Glory
over the battlehelds OF war-torn
France where it stands before the
world today as the emblem of human
ity, right and justice.
The famous quotation of Oliver
Wendell Holmes: "One flag, one land,
one heart, one hand; one nation ever
more" was instinctively felt by
every true American at the many pa
triotic celebrations that are to be held
throughout the country today.
The Stars and Stripes first ap-
peared floating over the headquarters
of General George Washington on the
heights of Cambridge, near Boston, on
January /. 1916. Thus the Father of
Our Country promulgated his indl-
vidual declaration of independence.
When the British soldiers saw the flag
they imagined it was token OF sub
mission. but very soon they discovered
their error 1t was more than year
and a half later that the national en-
blem was officially sent upon its mis-
snon of universal love and liberty.
Thus Washington was far in advance
of Congress in flinging this Old Glory
of ours to the free air of heaven.

NO HALF WEEK
is FULL WEEK.
Semi-Idleness Under Compulsory
Work Law Is To Be Broken
Up In Maryland.

The work few -days-and-loaf-a-few
days scheme of the compulsory work
law slackers is going TO be broken up.
Fifteen thousand workers in the ship
yards, munition plants and other gov
ernmental industrial activities and on
the farms and in other activities in
Maryland are being reclassiiied and
will be sent in big squads to Camp
Meade. These men, most of whom are
colored, have fallen into the habit OF
working three or four days a week at
wages which will enable them TO loaf
during the balance of the week. The
opinion has been sent down the line by
Federal authorities and by Attorney
General Ritchie that half week is not
full week, and that if men do not
work a full week they are violating
the provisions of the State compulsory
work law.
The places of these semi-idlers will
be taken by men who will work six
days a week, and If they don't they
also will be sent to Camp Meade.

an inconvenient one. When the Court

lbe consumed in the work, it is esti-
mated
The condition of the bridge has
brought widespread inconvenience to
traffic, even to pedestrians, as there
lis not even a footpath by which per-
sons may get across the damaged span.
All traffic of West Annapolis and TO
and from points across the Severn

WEST ANNAPOLIS BABIES
100 PER CENT NORMAL.
Forty-Two Babies Weighed And
Measured Come Up To The
Standard.
A VERY GOOD SHOWING.
Anne Arundel County Infants
Go Over The Top" Not
One Under Size.
A VERY GOOD SHOWING

West Annapolis mammas are pat
ting themselves on the back today and
are congratulating themselves on be
ing the mothers of the healthiest lot of
infants that ever were weighed and
measured at any baby contest Miss
Sutherland, the Visiting Nurse, has
pronounced these babies the healthiest
lot she ever had under her supervision.
There were AZ babies weighed and
measured yesterday afternoon at the
West Annapolis Public School. and
every one literally went over the top. "
In other words not baby was under
size or underweight, and the decision
of the judges is that the West An
napolis babies are one hundred per
cent normal. They are Simon pure,
all wool and a yard wide, so to speak.
The measuring and weighing con-
test was a great success and the re-
suit is highly pleasing, not to say sat
isfactory, to the committee composed
of Mrs. Walter Collision, Mrs. Alex
Prosky and Mrs. Clarence NJ. White, as
well as to the Visiting Nurse, Miss S.
V. Sutherland.
After the weighing and measuring
contest the Visiting Nurse gave talk
and invited the mothers to bring the
babies to the clinic next week on June
%, at the Annapolis Public School.
The weather yesterday was ideal for
the occasion and there were mothers
and babies galore. Twenty-nine were
registered who did not appear, but AZ
were measured and weighed in the
balance and not found wanting.
A sale of ice cream followed and
$5.05 was realized for the free ice and
milk fund for babies.
The affair was conducted under the
auspices of the Child Welfare Asso-
citation, of which Mrs. Emerson G.
Harrington is chairman, and the
Visiting Nurse, supervisor

HONORABLY MENTIONED
IN POSTER CONTEST
In Addition To Prize Winners In
Poster Drawing Ten Others
Did Excellent Work.

In addition to the three prize win
ners already announced in the School
Children's Patriotic Poster Drawing
Contest, there were ten of the schol-
ars of the schools of the county whose
work received honorable mention at
the hands of the judges of the contest.
Six of those honorably mentioned were
students in the Annapolis Grammar
School. These were Filing Halsen,
Wayne Carrick, Porter Wilson, Ed
ward Tydings, Harold Rawlings and
c. Pindell.
Others mentioned were Robert
Henry and Anton Hynla, of Severn
Cross Roads School and Gertrude Bos-
we'll and Mildred Barrette, of the Gov
ernor's Bridge School. The prize
winners. who were given a blue, a red,
and a white ribbon, respectively, were
Emma Scible. Alcade Sarles and
Helena Hyde, all of the local Gram
mar School.
The work was judged on originality
of thought and execution the students
having had no instruction in drawing
except that given by the class room
teachers.
The Judges were surprised that chill
dren of elementary school age were
able to express their patriotic feelings
so graphically and were delighted with
the results. The poster contest
should. it is felt, become an annual af'
fair and it is hoped more schools vii
send drawings next year.
