GAIN OF OVER 10000
PEOPLE SHOWN IN 1919
DIRECTORY OF SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Wash, oct. 1S.-An in
crease of more than 10000 people is
shown by Seattle's 1919 directory now
completely compiled and to be distri-
bnted after the. trouble with the prin-
ters and the printers union has been
adjusted. The total number of names
and addresses in the new directory viii
exceed 1856, 900. To arrive at an ap-
proximate population the Polk Direc-
tory company multiplies the number
of names in its directory by two and
one-fourth. This would give Seattle
population as approximately 100000
Since the directory company made
its census there have been thousands
of persons move into the city. The
names OF Orientals, except the names
of business houses, are not included.

PATRIOTIC THOUGHT
IN CONNECTION WITH
BAPTISMAL SERVICE
Ceremony AT Naval Chapel Concludes
With Pretty Custom, Founded ON
Patriotic Sentiment

On Sunday afternoon the Naval
Academy Chapel was the scene of a
baptismal service. the Rev Sydney
Key Evans. chaplain. officiating. The
eight months old son of Mr.. C. II. Hrs
thus. Water Tender. U. S. N. and Mrs.
Mary Ellen Hirstius, of Annapolis,
was baptized and given the name of
Herbert Geary Hirstius
A pretty custom of the chaplain
when boy babies are baptized is to
take the child after the ceremony over
TO where the U. S. flag is placed in the
chapel and have the infant place his
right hand upon the American flag.
This concluded the ceremony of the
Hirstius christening, a feature not
down in the service, but one that will
be happy memory that will be re-
vered by the parents and told to the
child when old enough to understand.

REPUTED MAD DOG

MOngrel Tramp Dog Believed To BE
Suffering From Rabies Causes
Death of Many Others

Mr.. Charles Shearman, of Conduit
street was obliged to call in Veteri-
marian Taylor of this ely yesterday
to chloroform his terrier. a retriever
dog and pet in the family. The dog
was the eighth DR.. Taylor had chloro-
formed in the past two weeks because
the CANNES had all been bitten by a
tramp dog, mongrel wandering the
streets and apparently suffering from
rabies.
Some two weeks ago Mr.. Shear
mans dog was bitten on the leg. and
the wound was treated with home rem
edies. The dog was thought to be
getting well, when suddenly the ami
NAL became paralyzed in his legs, a
form of rabies. Fortunately the dog
did not bite any member of the fam
lily, although he was cared for and
fondled during his sickness. The mad
dog that is said TO have bitten eight
other dogs in the neighborhood of Con-
duit stree, Cathedral. Union, Market
and Gloucester streets, is thought by
some to be the same tramp dog that
killed and manned 500 ducks on the
duck farm of Moss & Taylor, near st.
Margarets.

come. AS soon as weather permits,
the new Navigation building, to cost
$SO0,000, will be begun. The new
wings of Bancroft Hall are to be COM
pleted; a garage at cost of 100000
is to be built, the seawall on the north
side of the Academy completed, and
any amount of small work for finish
ing touches. In all, not less than a
million and a half dollars will be
spent in constructive work at the
Academy within the next year.
Other work on huge scale is to fol-
low A million and a half dollars has
been authorized for new auditorium.
1t is believed that the two million dol
lar naval experimental laboratory will

graduate department and another en-
largement of the marine engineering
building. The plain fact is that the
Naval Academy has developed into
such a tremendous institution that
the construction program is never
ending one, while cost of maintenance
is such as would have been unbelieve-
able few years ago.
City VIII Keep Pace
Turning to the matter of municipal
activity, Mayor Strange is the natural
one to give expressian to the aims of
those who have charge of the city's
affairs. Several things have prevent
ed any large amount of municipal
work during the year just past"
Mayor Strange said: 'The federal
government asked that only the most
necessary things be done; moreover
there has been a shortage of material
and labor here which has made any
great amount of city work out of the
question under any conditions.
However, we have completed Por-
ter hall, the fine new home of the In
dependent Fire company, and arranged
for the purchase of two new engines
and great deal of fire hose and other
equipment. Necessary work of various
kinds has been done, and the city's
physical equipment maintained in var
ious ways.
"The improvement of the city must
go ahead in 1919, however, and am
in favor Of it even if more money must
be borrowed. West street, the great
artery of our business with the coun-
ty, must be improved. Ny plan is to
take up those bricks, and replace
them, and to use them, with the un-
worn side uppermost on Cathedral,
Calvert. and perhaps, Franklin streets
between Church Circle and Cathedral
streets. This would improve West
street. and also the other streets men

CITY CELEBRATES
27OTH BIRTHDAY
Young Old Annapolis Is Quietly
Celebrating Her Interesting
Anniversary Today
GIRLISH DESPITE HER AGE

Besides celebrating New Years, An
napolis is celebrating its 270th ami
versary.
Driven out of Virginia by that
staunch old churchman and royalist
Governor Berkeley. who hated Puri-
tans with royal hatred, the town was
settled in the winter of 1649 by Puri-
tan refugees.
Ten families, under the leadership
of Richard Bennett, who landed and
settled on Greenberry Point, now the
Remson estate, were the first settlers
Long since has the site of the first
settlement been washed away by the
tides, for it- extended then mile far
ther southwark IN the Bay than
Greenberry Point does now.
Annapolis and Anne Arundel coun-
ty included many descendants of the
early settlers, whose lineage it would
be interesting to trace through the
intervening generations.
OF the early landholders, Thomas
Todd was the first, taking as he did
three tracts of land, that at that time
practically embraced all the city on
the Severn as well as the Naval Acad-
emy.
Two centuries and three score and
ten years is a ripe old age, but Annap'
oils is still young for her years, and
there is scarcely trace of a wrinkle
in her face Probably the latter is
because she would not hear to being
told new things on Friday, for legen-
dary lore has it that every new idea
Friday brings adds wrinkle.
The dear old girl has even. of late
taken to wearing short tight skirts
with high shoes, instead of the long
full gracefully flowing gown that was
once her wont. But this may be be-
cause she is in her dotage, and short
skirts suggest her babyhood, or II
may be she has taken on the home

ingrowing case that induces her to

the tomatoes, bushels of them, would
have gone to waste.
The Woman's club has fostered and
engendered that observation-disclosures
spirit, and has caused the county
women to become better acquainted
with their city sisters. The work OF
the Woman's club is still in its in
fancy. 1t has only just begun. 1t is
one of those many useful and happy
outcomes of the unhappy world war,
but it has come to stay, and no Anne
Arundel woman can afford not to be a
member of this organization of women
that stands for ideal womanhood in
the things that make domestic life
worth while.
War Mothers Great Organization
Another newcomer on the field of
woman's activities, even more recent
than the Woman's club, is the War
Mothers This organization of only a
few short months growth, was father
ed by the Evening Capital, and was
the first of the county units to be-
come a branch with that of Baltimore
city which headed the state War Moth
ers of America.
The Annapolis War Mothers, headed
by its worthy president, Mrs. Daniel
r. Magruder, whose three sons are in
the service of their country, is doing
a work in quiet way by helping and
encouraging mothers who have sons
and fostering the community spirit.
This organization has cemented the
ties of motherhood and has placed on
a common plane the poor and lowly
mother with the rich mother of high
er social caste. Motherhood, like love,
levels all ranks, and places the shep-
herds crook beside the sceptre The
mothers of the boys who have fought
in the trenches have united in this or
ganization known as the War Mothers
of America, and while it has not done
great things yet, it promises to have
an influence that will be far-reaching
in the days that are to come,-the days
of the re-adjustment period.

M|DSH|PMEN'S DANCE
BRINGS MANY VISITORS
Annual Event Attracts Lady
Guests From Even Far
Western States
BOARDING HOUSES SCARCE

With an attendance exceeding that
of any previous similar event, Annap-
oils last night was taxed to the limit
OF the city's capacity to care properly
for those who came from a distance
TO dance the old year out at the an
nual New Years hop at the academy.
Midshipmen friends of expected
young lady visitors were driven al
most to the point of distraction in
their efforts to find suitable housing
quarters for their fair visitors. Friends
were pleaded with and prevailed upon
TO take the yourg ladies' into their
homes for the night, and in many in
stances private families good-natured-
ly inconvenienced themselves in order
to be obliging to their midshipmen
friends.
Sleeping quarters at the hotels were
at a premium long before the date of
the event At Carvel Hall, II is said
the demand was so great for lodging
accommodations that young lady
guests were content to share their
rooms with as many as seven others.
An opportunity to sleep on a cot was
seized upon as a rare privilege.
In many private homes the head of
the house took a pillow and some
blankets and composed himself for the
night on the floor. In homes where
there were a considerable number of
the young lady guests the question of
entertaining their midshipmen beaus
was a serious problem. For obvious
reasons the parlor was not desirable
to all at the same time. Porch rail-
ings. hall seats, even stairways, were
found to do very we'll however and
they were utilized to the full.
II is said that the attendance at the
annual event this year brought more
visitors from greater distances and
from more states than has ever been
the case before From all over the
eastern states and the southern states
the attendance was greatest, natural

There is general agreement that the
past year has been one of an un-
precedented volume of business in
various lines, in spite of conditions
such as Annapolis has not faced be-
fore. Annapolis merchants are unan-
imous in the statement that the great
construction work which has been
going on in connection with the Naval
Academy, together with the increased
number of midshipmen and officers
here, has caused an amount of buying
which is altogether unprecedented.
For the most part, the coming year
is faced with confidence. Business
has had difficulties during the year
just gone Prices have been high and
many have been forced to economy; !;
the kind and amount of goods desired
were not always to be had; the proper
kind of help was sadly lacking. Still,
the Annapolis business man has buck
led down to his work and has managed
to do a huge business during 1918.
Building Have Faced Difficuliets
Builders and contractors admit of
some uneasiness about the period that
is before them. Their difficulties have
been great, yet they have managed to
accomplish a considerable amount
during the year, both as to public
structures and private residences. The
enlarged and improved buildings of
the Annapolis Bank and the Annapolis
Banking & Trust Company are in
stances. Then, there are the several
pretty residences on Murray avenue,
new homes on Thompson street, and
Taney avenue and other portions of
the city. The builders have made a
hard fight against the adverse con-
ditions of difficulty in securing ma
terial and help, and their pluck and
enterprise is likely to be rewarded
with better conditions in 1919.
1t may be taken. as settled that the
Naval Academy will attract great
streams of dollars to Annapolis during
the coming year The present student
body of midshipmen numbers about
2,1OO, and it will be increased to
about 2,4O0 In June with a greater
number of officers and instructors at
tached. While no class of reserve Off
GERS is likely to succeed the one which
leaves on the thirtieth of the present
month, its place will be taken in a
measure by the re-establishment of
the postgraduate school
Extensive Building Program
A splendid building program at
the Naval Academy has been outlined
for the year. and Annapolis mechanics
and laborers are assured of steady
work at good wages for long time to
