THAT UNcANNY NOISE
Copper Gargoyles Food Rccep-
tacles For Early Birds
THE WooDPEcKER PECKS

For quite q while the residents of
Annapolis that live in close proximity
to the Naval Academy have been hear
ing noise not unlike the hum OF an
air gun used by ironworkers. Many
have glanced around 10 see if some
contemplated improvement had been
started during the night. only TO find
that there had been no change in the
appearance of the neighborhood. This
noise has been heard for some time
and while the residents of the Naval
Academy know what this noise IS.
many Annapolitans who have heard
it have wondered what possibly could
be the answer to the conundrum,
Many mornings workmen on their
way to their daily vocations have
heard the noise and listened To deter
mine whether their ears were deceiv-
ing them or had some one started
building operations without their be-
some wondered others have known the
answer for some time, And the ans
wer is very simple
When the buildings at the Naval
Academy were erected some years ago
the cornices and gargoyles on the ewes
of the roof were made of copper OF
course when they were built it was
not supposed that they would con
tain food for birds. but such lis the
case. In the early morning hours
when the woodpecker gets up from
his restful sleep. being healthy prop
osition and hungry at the same time
he just has to hunt for his daily ra-
tons. He possibly is like a lot Of NOR
tails and does not want to rustic too
much before satisfying the inner man,
and takes the shortest route 10 his
breakfast and stops at the first cOrnice
and raps on the front door Immedi-
ately the occupants are polite enough
TO answer his knock, and Mr. Wood
pecker gets his breakfast alive
The tapping Of the woodpecker on
the copper at the rate of about 1000 a
minute caused a vibration and the
ants, who have selected that nook as
their home, are only taking their lives
in their hands by their fOolhardiness.
All of which goes to show that the
woodpecker is not such wooden"
proposition as one would think

VISIT OF CARDINAL
SIGNAL HONOR, SAYS
GOVERNOR IN WELCOME

Introducing Cardinal MERCER to the
vast audience at the State House to-
day. Governor Harrington, who pre-
sided over the ceremonies, said:
Eve are signally honored today in
having with us The Fighting Cardinal
of Belgium He comes to us not sim
ply or distinctively as a churchman
but rather as a revered representa-
tive of the Belgian people to the peo-
| pie OF America, but both as church
man and as a representative of his
country we bid him welcome.
Even the sinking of the Lusitania
did not Stir the American people as
did the common enemy's unwarranted
and ruthless invasion of Belgium, the
devastation of her lands, the destruc-
ton of her buildings and the attempt
ed enslavement of her people.
The world war which has just closed
evolved some great men, who stand
out and will forever stand out as
world leaders and world heroes.
England, France Italy and our own
America have their own. History will
give to each of them an iilustrious
place in the Hall of Fame of the
worlds great men and leaders, but in
the history of the world from the
dawn of time. seldom, indeed, has the
patriotism and endurance of a small
nation been so tried and found not
wanting as was the kingdom of Bel
gium-in the wild naelsirom OF in
human warfare which overwhelmed
and deluged her from the beginning of
the war in 1914 to tae signing o. the
armistice on November 18th, 1918.
And standing forth resplendant among
all the rest. We behold, Cardinal Mer-
eier, our guest of today, Belgiums
famous Prelate. Amid the ruins of his
country, the enemy occupying the
most of his country, his country pill
LACED, its homes destroyed, her people
held or carried away into involuntary
slavery, this minister of God, boldly
and fearlessly Numbered forth def
ance TO the enemy and preached pa
triotism and endurance to his people
and held out 20 them, his mistaken
confidence and trust in God, and his
faith in the final victory and liberation
of his people.
The whole world now knows the
history of these days. II thar famous
message in July, 1915, deferred neither
by threats or Imprisonment with arm
ed soldiery about him he again thLn
ders forth to his people. "My children
never bend your aecks to Ike conquer
er. Hold steadfaat your fsIta i'll God
and in the dry nf your final dclibera-
ton" And even later when the ruins
of his country seemed almost complete
we found him still defiant with still
more supreme confidence and trust in
God; he sends a message to the Ger
man Governor General of Belgium.
This is no longer war, it is an attack
on humanity" and still later Right
violated is still right, injustice sup
ported by force is still injustice" Bel
GUM in her history has had before
now, exemplified and proved the pa
triotism of her churchmen.
Cardinal Frankenberg in his famous
declaration had resisted Austria,
France and Prussia had died in exile
Prince de Brogie, Bishop of Gnent
had opposed Napoleon and William of
Holland, and he died N exile. But

example has been an Inspiration II the
world.
The German Emperor in his world
ambition backed by the most powerful

Cardinal MERCER with his country

the desolation and destruction all

armed soldiery of the enemy thunder
ed forth again and again that might

martyrs OF old. as the fate of his

Eleven Democrats, they say, have

three more than a majority Of the

In addition, a number of other DEM

enough to lead them to vote against it,

made up of the 80 signers Of the

Those who have not come out
openly are refraining from doing

him."

SAYS /, C,L, SLUMP
NECESSARY TO EASE
INDUSTRIAL TENSION
Federal Reserve Board De-
clares Sorely-tried Consum-
er Must Be Appeased to
Complete Readjustment.

Washington, March 17.-Reduction in
living costs to the consumer was put
forward today by the federal reserve
board as the key to the readjustment
period. The sorely-tried consumer
must have an inning If the transfer
from war to peace is effectually made.
the board says In the bulletin, made
public here.
'Readjustment is a problem" the
bulletin states, which involves cur
tailment of costs of production to a
point where our manufacturers are
able to satisfy domestic trade and to
compete favorably with foreigners for
export. 1t involves q readjustment of
values generally upon new basis
created by normalization of prices and
wages. Finally, it involves the ef-
fective transfer of labor from war
work back to peace time employment
at a stable satisfactory remuneration"
TEAM WORK NEEDED.
The board says that each of these
factors must bear its share in the gen.
eral process of readjustment. If these
do team work." the board predicts a
smooth recession from the great infla-
Consumers living costs on every side.'
In connection with it's analysis of the
readjustment situation, the board di-
rects attention to shifting of invest
ments" without due appreciation of the
hazards of the situation" 1t warns
that dangers are particularly acute in
this respect since a war loan Is being
floated at a time when the whole in
dustry is busily reorganizing.
MUST WIDEN SCOPE.
The opinion Is voiced that while the
great readjustment is taking place ex-
porters as well as domestic manufac-
turers should take into account the in
ternational trade situation. New ex-
ports are going to enter America and
exporters are going to enter new mar.
kets so that a single industry cannot
consider only its individual self, it was
explained. It's relation to all othel
lines, domestic as well as foreign
must be considered.
