WAR CAMP COMMUNITY
SERVICE WOMEN HAVE
DONE SPLENDID WORK

In the list of woman's activities for
the year 1918 published in last even
ings Capital, that of the women of the
War Camp Community Service. was
inadvertently ommitted No group of
women have worked throughout the
past year more earnestly or more un-
tiringly, giving of their time and ef-
than the women of this committee
who have arranged all the dances for
the service men, and have seen after
other lines of war camp community
work On this committee are Mrs.
Harrington, wife of the governor; Mrs.
Theodore Johnson and Mrs. t. ]. Lin
thicum, Miss Mamie Nichols has been
active in the canteen work at the State
armory, having given freely of her
time day and night without compen-
sation.
Another branch of the service not
mentioned. but which has done a
splendid work is that of the Home
Service, Miss Enniss, secretary. This
committee has kept its finger on the
pulse of the home, and at the same
time stretched hands across the sea
to link the soldier or the sailor with
the home 1t has looked after allot-
ments, written letters, loaned soldiers
on leave money to get back to their
post when necessity required and in
its own quiet way has done a work
that was really worth while.

WEST POINT BASEBALL
MANAGER WILL GO TO
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION

OF much interest in Naval Academy
athletic circles is the announcement
that Sammy Strang has signed three
year contract to manage the Chatta-
nooga Baseball club of the Southern
association, and will not remain as
coach to the Military Academy nine.
He has directed baseball for six or
eight years at West Point, and during
that time there has been an almost
unbroken string of victories over the
midshipmen in their annual game.
1t is of further interest that the
real name of this manager-coach is
Strang Nicklin, and not Sammy
Strang, as is generally known. A fur
ther fact is that he has a tenor voice
of grand opera calibre, and has been
much in demand at West Point owing
to his vocal powers.

IS FATAL
TO J. LYNN M AB0y
Photographer, Celebrated For His
Artistry, Succumbs To
Brief Illness
BORN IN NORTH CAROLINA

After an illness of four days, death
claimed ]. Lynn McAboy, who passed
away yesterday afternoon at six
o'clock at the Emergency hospital,
from pneumonia. But few of his
friends knew of his illness and his
death came as a great shock to many.
Mr.. McAboy was a native of Lynn,
North Carolina, the name of the post
Office of the town having been changed
since he left it, to Tyron. He was a
son of the late Leland Reed McAboy,
and was forty-one years of age. hav-
ing celebrated his anniversary on the
nineteenth of December last.
Besides his widow, Mr.. McAboy is
survived by two half brothers, his
mother having married second time.
His brothers are Rufus M. Bearden,
and A. NJ. Bearden, both of Knoxville,
Tenn. Two sisters also survive, Mrs.
Matte b. Mulholland, of Washington,
who arrived here last night, and Mrs.
H. M. Zeller, of Dallas, Texas.
The deceased came to Annapolis
nearly twenty-five years ago, and was
associated with the late George X.
Buffham. photographer Being tai
ented and possessed of an artistic
mind. his worth was soon recognized
and he was persuaded to branch out
for himself, which he did, establishing
a studio on Main street in the annex to
Hotel Maryland. where he had devel-
oped a growing business. His pictures
were recognized everywhere as works
of art, and he was much sought for in
his line of special photography.
He was a man of pleasing manners,
amiable disposition. and a personality
that drew about him many friends. He
was liked by all who knew him. Mr..
McAboy was member of Annapolis
Lodge of Elks, in which he had held
several offices. His is the fourth
death to occur in the lodge member

'QUEER VESSEL AT
ANCHOR IN HARDOR
Craft Built In Imitation Of His
toric Boat Of Columbus Puz-
zles Watermen
is THE YACHT HALCYON

Attracting the attention of water
men of Annapolis and citizens gen.
orally by its towering stern, the
strangest vessel which has visited
local waters within the memory of
present residents, is lying in the har-
Dor, of the foot of Prince George
street.
1t is the yacht Halycon, belonging
to the Adirondack-Flor School, and
built in close imitation of the Santa
Maria, of deathless memory, the flag
ship of the little squadron which Ad-
miral Columbus used in discovering
US Consequently the ship has great
practical, as well as historical inter-
est.
The Halcyon has just been purchased
by the school authorities from Henry
Morse. of Boston, who planned and
built her, but has now replaced her
with q vessel of another kind. Under
Captain John Sternberg, and with a
small crew, she has made the trip to
Annapolis under gasoline power,
through the inland passage. Her stop
here was for the purpose of repairing
a mast, the work being done at ship
yard at Eastport.
The trip was made thorugh the Cape
Cod canal to Long Island sound, and
then by the Delaware and Raritan
canal to the Delaware bay. The next
leg of the trip was through the Della
ware and Chesapeake canal to the
Chesapeake bay, and SO on to Annap-
oils. Her destination is Miami, Fla,
which is the winter location of the
school. She will be used there for
weekend trips for the scholars.
Those aboard the Halcyon reported
the greatest difficulty in handling her,
on account of her peculiar construc-
ton. 1t will be remembered, that some
years ago, models OF all of Columbus
vessels were constructed for exhibition
purposes, and an attempt was made to
navigate them under sail. 1t was
found that the art of handling vessels
of that type, with the towering stern,
was lost one, and power had to be
supplied, just as it is in the vessel
which is visiting here.
Incidentally, the visit brought out
that the students of the school which
has purchased the Halcyon, are lucky
youths. The spring and fall months
are spent in the Adirondack noun
tains, while the first sign of winter
finds them removing to the sunny
shores of the Gulf of Mexico, at Miami,

Children of City Have Their Annual
Good Time at Expense of

Annapolis Lodge of Elks were hosts
yesterday afternoon to 1900 children
of Annapolis, each of whom received
box of candy, oranges. apples, pea
nuts. and other nuts of all kinds. be-
sides were made to have jolly good
time.
The weather, which was one contin-
uous downpour of rain all afternoon,
did not dampen the ardor of the chill
dren of the town and suburbs, who
turned out in full force.
There was not one Santa Claus,
only, but all the Elks available for the
afternoon played Santa and distribu-
ted the presents. The Elks apparent
ly enjoyed the festivity as much as
the children whom their generosity
made happy.

SCARCE AND
VERY HIGH IN PRICE
Roses At Fifty Cents Apiece
Make Cost Of Courting
Come High
ION ACCOUNT OF WAR"

Flowers throughout the country are
very scarce and high-priced, and this
has been especially the case around
the holiday season Carnations have
been selling at twenty-five cents
apiece. and roses at fifty cents each
which. for Annapolis. seems high. but
florists have had to meet conditions of
scarcity of coal to heat hot houses, no
help, and to battle against the condi-
tion that their business was nom
essential during war time. Baltimore
florists have also been up against it,
and declare the situation can hardly
be relieved until early spring, when
the outdoor varieties appear.
The principal reason for the scar
city. according TO the florists, is the
fact that during the war they were al
lowed only one-half the amount of
coal needed to operate the greenhouses
and that when the coal ban was lifted
following the signing of the armistice.
it was too late to plant bulbs or seed
for flowers for the winter season.
Orchids Are 80 Apiece. r.
Flowers that usually are abundant
this season are said to be the most
scarce. Orchids, a highly popular
Christmas gift in past seasons, and the
flower usually worn by debutantes at
the holiday dances, are very scarce.
The few now in Baltimore are selling
at So and IS each. Carnations. which
usually are very abundant at this time
of the year, sold today for $3.50 per
dozen, while at this time last year the
same flowers sold for 81 per dozen.
Roses. another popular Christmas
gift, are but rarely seen in the florist
selling at $6 and 81 per dozen. Lilies
of the valley can't be had at any price,
and there are but very few gardenias.
Violets are scarce, but not as scarce
as other flowers. The florists say,
however, that there is little demand
for violets this year, which is attribu-
ed to the fact that most of the young
men who formerly presented violets
to the ladies of their hearts are now
away in service. Violets are selling at
81 per hundred.
Pin Hopes On Bulb Flowers.
Florists are hoping that the bulb
flowers, which are beginning to sprout
in the green houses, will help the
shortage of flowers. Tulips and mar
cissus will soon appear, and the for
lists are of the opinion that they will
become popular for the time being and
take the place of roses. carnations,
orchids and gardenias until the flow
ers that bloom in the spring come to
bedeck the corsage of Annapoliss fair
sex and their boudoirs

Local Food Administrator Says
Vigilance Against Specula-
tors Will Continue
ROUTINE WORK TO CEASE

1t was announced in Washington
yesterday that the weekly fair price
list issued by the food administra-

tinue to publish the list.
When approached relative to the
matter of the suspension of business
of the food administration this morn
ing, local Food Administrator Ridgely
p Melvin, said there was nothing
official to give out, but he would say
that while there would be a relaxa-
tion of the regular routine so far as
details of the Office are concerned.
The food administration would not
suspend its activities until the actual
declaration of peace and would have
an eye single to speculation and prof.
teering, inasmuch as regulating and
controlling the abuse of these evils of
trade are concerned.
Later today local Food Admins
traitor r. P. Melvin, received word
from Mr.. Maltbie, of Baltimore, the
Maryland food administrator, that no
far as Maryland is concerned, there
will be no discontinuance of the fair
food price list. A plan, however, Mr..

which will be announced later.
