LETTER TO EDITOR
4 Plea To Remember The Telephone
Girls On New Years In Recognition
OF Their Services During Past Year

To the Editor Of the EUeRing Capital:
There has been no finer thought this
Christmas season than that of MIR.
James w Owens for the telephone
girls of Annapolis, and his suggestion
must meet with approval from all of
the readers of the Capital.
These girls need nothing, but richly
deserve some testimonial from the
public they serve so cheerfully. As
Mr.. Owens says theirs is no easy task.
II certainly does not seem so TO one
visiting their place OF business, seeing
their headgear and feeling sensitive to
sheir nervous life. But one finds them
always CHEEKY and chippier Some
years ago one OF these girls was the
recipient of various kinds of gifts from
unknown friends, who wrote for Miss
. the girl who never fails to get a
message through If such thing is
possible One of the most generous
souls OF Annapolis, woman greatly
loved and sadly missed was always
full OF kindness towards telephone
girls, so by remembering these in the
New Year we will be making it me-
mortal to her
Any one who is disposed to express
good will TO those who contribute so
much to the convenience and comfort
of our daily life may leave at the Office
OF Mr.. James w Owens, School street
or at the Office of the Evening Capital,
the sum mentioned by Mr.. Owens or
any amount that one chooses.

THE PROBLEMS OF 1920

Governor-elect Richie will be
inauguratcd as the successor to
Governor Harrington on the sec
ond Wednesday of January, the
18th day of the month. The in
coming Governor will take from
the hands OF the outgoing Gov
ernor heavy responsibility in
conducting the financial affairs OF
the State. Governor Harrington,
with his special training i'll this
branch of government and his
marked ability, has met the ex-
traordinary fiscal conditions with
an administration that is a
source OF pride to the whole
State.
His development and installa~
ton OF the executive budget sys-
TEN has made the path of the in
coming Governor far easier than
that into which Governor Har-
rington set his foot i'll 1916.
Nevertheless. the demand for
funds for State expenses has
greatly increased over previous
years. and from the start the new
Governor is going to meet heavy
pressure and be subject to con
slant strain as to ways and
means, That he will prove
equal to the emergency is not to
be doubted Mr.. Richie has a
strong and well-balanced mind.
and wealth of experience in
governmental affairs and knowl-
edge OF State needs and prob
lens that will stand him in good
stead. Then, too. he will entaf
the Executive Chamber under
very favorable auspices. He viii
have free hand in dealing with
the States business and the best
wishes OF all the people for his
administration. He is peculiar

LAUNCH rs STEEL VESSELS
All Records for shipEuiIdine Broken
by Skinner & Eddys Big Plant
at Seattle.

Seattle, Wash.-Smashing all rec
ords for shipbuilding, the Skinner &
Eddy corporations plant No. /, in this
.ity. launched 26 steel steamships in
he year 1918. The vessels had an ag-
regate tonnage of 232, 400 deadweight
tons.
AS the plant has five shipways the
average tonnage for each way was 49,
1870 tons. Nothing approaching this
lverage has been accomplished before
n the history of the worlds shipbuild-
ng.
No other five shipways at one plant
lave averaged more than 10000 dead
weight tons in year, according to ma
inc experts.
There have been records of single
way Of more than 10000 tons in a
1ear, but that was where one large
ihip was built in a year.
The last of the vessels constructed

Peruvian Intoxieant.

Pepper berries are the basis of an
ancient and still cherished beverage
In Peru, which is popularity known as
chica de molle. If you will examine
pepper berry in the first plump
stage of its maturity, you will find
that the bitter resinousness is over
laid with a coating of sugary sweet
ness-a natural instance Of sugar
coated pill-and 1t is at that stage
that the berries are gathered for
chicha manufacture. There is a GER
tain quality about this brew, aside
from it's cheapness, that is of partic-
ular appeal to the Peruvian tasteS
but it is by no means a temperance
drink. Indeed. its consumption in
some parts Of Peru has gotten to be
something of the same sort OF vice
that pulque drinking has become in
the valley Of Mexico.

Beautiful MESSAGE.

John Ruskin wrote, after the Cri-
mean war, a beautiful passage, which
may be profoundly comforting mes
sage to the bereaved:
II ask their witness to whom the
war has changed the aspect of the
earth, and imagery Of heaven, whose
hopes it has cast of like spiders
web, whose treasure 1t has placed, in
q moment, under the seals of clay.
Those who can never more see sunrise,
nor watch the climbing light gid the
eastern clouds without thinking what
graves 1t has gilded, first, far down be-
hind the dark earthline-who never
more shall see the crocus bloom in
spring, without thinking what dust 1t is
that feeds the wild flowers. Ask their
witness, and see if they will not reply
that it is well with them and with
theirs; that they would have it no 9TH
erwise; would not, if they might, re-
reive back their gifts of love and life,
not take again the purple of their blood
out of the cross on the breastplate of
England"

HUGE SUB CRUISERS
British Admiralty Let's Out Secret
of Craft.
Have TWO Tunnels and Make "a
Knots on Surface Under
Steam.

London.-The admiralty has permit
ted to be made public the real story of
the submarine cruisers the British sue
cessfully constructed at the time the
Germans we're boasting of their super
submarine.
The British craft have two tunnels
and make "a knots an hour on the
surface under steam power. They
carry from eight to ten torpedo tubes,
two or three four-ineh guns and also
are equipped with internal combustion
motors for surface cruising. The bat
teries for the undersea power can be
charged from both the steam and COM
bustion engines and an ingenious
scheme has been devised for quickly
dismantling the tunnels for the pur-
pose of submerging.
The vessels displace 1000 tons on
the surface and 200 tons submerged.
They are $40 feet long, have avbeam of
20 feet and cruising radius of 5000
miles. They are designed to be even
a match for torpedo-boat destroyers in
surface fighting.
It is also known that the British
have successfully built a submarine
carrying a Pinch gun, although the
details of this craft have not been
made public. The new ideas embraced
in the construction of the craft include
the "cushioning" Of the boat to with
stand the terrific concussion of the
gun. This idea is represented unoffi-
cially as having been successful. So
far as is known the new craft was
never employed against any enemy
vessel

sTRANGEsT OF SHIP FREAKS
British inventor Must at Least Be
Credited With the Possession Of
Much Imagination.

Since that memorable day long ago
when our rude forefathers first ven
tured afioat in their dugout canoes
many very curious ships have been
built. Perhaps the most extraordinary
of all these freaks was the steamer
Connector, which was launched in
British waters in 1863.
The Connector was built in three
sections, each of which was, so to
speak, a ship of itself. The bow or
forward section, which was fitted up in
the usual way, was jointed to the mid
ship section by means of huge bolt
In such a manner that, as the ship
pitched, it could rise or fall quite in
dependently of the other two sections.
Thus, as the ship met the waves a
kind of wriggle ran along the hull.
First the bow section rose, then the
midship section followed suit, and
finally the. stern section wriggled up
ward.
The craft passed safely through
some very severe trials, and even ven
tured out in heavy weather. The idea
was to build up ships in sections like
trains, so that any particular section
could be dropped at the various ports

HOW FEBRUARY WAS NAMED
Month Known to the Romans as a Pc
rIOd Of Religious Expiatlon and
Publication.

February was one Of the two months
(January being the other) introduced
into the Roman calendar by Numa
Pompilius, wnen he extended the
year into u of these periods. It's
name arose from the practice Of re-
ligious expiation and publication
which took pInce among the Romans
at the beginning of this month, and
comes from februare, to expiate or to
purify. Among our Saxon ancestors
the month got the name of Sproutkale
on account of the sprouting Of cabbage
at this ungenial season. The name
Of Sol-monatt was afterward conferred
on it in consequence of the return OF
the sun from the low course in the
heavens, which 1t had been running,
starting on the first day Of the month.
The following day, or February 2,
has from a date unknown in the Chris
tian history been held as festival of
the publication Of the Virgin, carrying
out the pagan idea OF cleansing, ac-
cording to some writer's, but the idea
Is at least open to doubt, as its pop
ular name, even in the early church, Is
Candlemas, from the practice of carry
Ing lighted candles in procession in
memory of Simeon's words at the pres
entation of the infant Jesus. "To be
a light to tighten the Gentiles." The
Christmas decorations are taken down
on this day in the churches.

Quested that in the afternoon he
