PLEDGES TO HOSPITAL
Chairman Reports Them Now
Coming In Very Slowly
MEANS ANOTHER DRIVE

Unless pledges to the maintenance
fund of the Emergency Hospital come
in the next few days in greater num-
Der and for larger amounts. it will
mean that another hospital drive viii
be imperative.
Pledges have been small. and for
the most part are those of 81 and 81.
with a few S. pledges. There has
been but one pledge of 500, and two
for $50. The hospital management
feels that people are doing what they
can in the face of many other drives
and those that are to come, but the
hospital is local institution, is great
ly in need of funds for its support, and
it is the duty of every citizen and
countiap to contribute something.
If sufficient pledges are not made
this year to carry on this work Of the
hospital. it will be compulsory to
again solicit next year or sooner. Mrs.
Parkinson has been made chairman of
the hospital drive at Eastport, and has
as her helpers the following: Mrs.
Walter Cook, Mrs. Kufsch, Mrs. Clar-
ence Baker, Mrs Holid7yoke. Miss
Dorothy Williams. Mrs. Bender. Mrs.
Thomas Kelley. Mrs. Parkinson urges
that Eastport, that has never failed to
respond when called upon in a worthy
cause, be not lacking at this time.

Sadie Pack, colored woman, about
so years old. whose home is at Jones
Station on the Short Line railroad,

ing at the Emergency Hospital as the
result of burns. The woman was
brought to the local hospital last eve
ming about Z o'clock where she was
treated for burns all over her body,
and where everything was done to re-
lieve her suffering.
1t was stated by members of the
family who accompanied her, that she
was making a fire to get supper and
used coal oil when there was an ex-
plosion, the blaze igniting her cloth
ing and burning her body in a hor-
rible. manner. She also inhaled the
flames. While everything was done
for her relief, her condition was re-
garded from the first as very grave.
Besides her husband, she is sur
vived by several grown children. The
remains were removed today to her
late home at Jones Station for burial.

DAILY DEMONSTRATIONS
AT GOTTLIEB'S STORE

For the last few days. and through
out the remainder OF the week, Miss
Gale, service expert. is giving a dem
onstration at Gottlieb's Main street
stores of the ''Wear-Ever" aluminium
cooking utensils.
The demonstrations are worth while
the visit and observation of every
woman in Annapolis and Anne Arun-
del county. Miss Gale is showing that
articles of food may be prepared in
this "Wear-Ever" aluminium without
grease and without water, the alumni
mum holding the heat and extracting
from meats their own essence with
out the aid of water in cooking.
At yesterdays demonstration she
proved this by cooking a pot-roast of
beef in a "wear-ever" kettle, which
was deliciously cooked without water.
Today she is demonstrating the cook
ing of griddle cakes without grease
These demonstrations at Gottlieb's
are open to all women, and are all
well worth while attending.

Three unfortunate fncldents con-
nected with members OF the new fourth
class at the Naval Academy within
week of the opening of the new scho-
lastic year at the institution and tic
return of the upper classmen, have
been the occasion of widespread ru-
mors of serious hazing.
Rear Admiral A. H. Scales, superin-
tendent of the academy. made the
definite statement that in two OF the
eases. the young men deny absolutely
that hazing had anything to do with
their plight The third case Is being
investigated.
Philip H Settler of Lebanon, Pa.
tried to kill himself Sunday afternoon
by stabbing himself with a penknife
and drinking ink and iodine. Late
yesterday afternoon. Henry c. Weth-
erstine. of Philadelphia, drank an
ounce OF iodine. He states that ne
did 1t accidentally. The case has not
yet been investigated thoroughly. and
the authorities have not been able to
say definitely what is at the bottom
Of his act
An extremely sad case is that OF
oliver II. Marvin, of Newcastle, N. Fl.
He has had nervous breakdown and
will probably be discharged from the
service He is a young man Of great
promise and had already taken a lead
ing position among his classmates
He, too, denies that hazing had any
thing to do with his condition, as did
Settler, and stated also that he had
not been hazed at any time while at
the academy The underlying cause
of his condition which Is believed to
be temporary, is a natural antipathy
to the routine at the academy, includ-
ing the athletic requirements. Such
cases have been known before.

WINDOW AT P. 0. BROKEN
Whether For Burglarious Intent
No One Seems To Know
GLASS "a INCH THICK

Did some one attempt to burglarize
the city postoflice. or was there a par
ty of skylarkers in the Federal build
ing last night?
This is the question that has been
going the rounds today, especially
among those who visit the building
during the early morning hours to get
their mail matter or TO secure stamps,
etc
Certain it is. that one of the heavy
plate glass windows between the rows
Of lock boxes was almost smashed to
smithereens, and it was the first thing
that greeted the eyes of the clerical
force and others when they went to
work at the rost0ffice this morning The
shattered window may have | cen the
result of a heavy blow from ones fist
or head, or it may have been struck
by an instrument, such as a hammer,
judging ty the way it was crushed at
the centre and the diagonal cracks in
the glass, which is one quarter, of an
inch in thickness. If it was the work
of a burglar, then he must have been
frightened away by some cause, for no
attempt had Teen made ito release the
splintered parts OF the glass and reach
through, il robt cry of some of the
lockloxes was the purpose of the
culprit or cuiprits. And yet, it may
have teen an act of vandalism. But
whatever the motive, nothing was
found missing by Postmaster Linthi-
cum and his assistants. An investiga-
ton was, of course started, and in the
meantime, officials of the city police
have been notified The act was per-
petrated some time after the clerical
force left the office at 10 p. m.
In the meantime, Postmaster Thos.
]. Linthicum has decided to close the
doors leading to the Federal building
tonight, at the close of working hours
at 10 O'Clock, and mail Lox is being
installed at the main entrance as a
depository for mail matter. Steps also
have been taken to replace the glass
in the window.

REVENUE MEN SAY
TAXPAYERS ARE PROMPT
HERE IN ANNAPOLIS
This To Say OF Annapolis
Citizens

In an interview with Charles Fl. Par
dee, General Deputy Collector of the
Internal Revenue Service, it was learn
ed by representative of The Evening
Capital that people of Annapolis as a
general thing have come forward
promptly in the settlement of their in
come and special taxes
The Deputy Collector comes into
close contact with the taxpayers, and
by means Of personal interviews as
sists or instructs them in the filing of
various returns. He makes a careful
study of the various taxes levied by the
Federal Government and is in posi-
ton TO give proper information on the
many questions OF revenue that prove
a puzzle to the average taxpayer He
reminds you of the fact that our gov
eminent is wholly honoral lie and does
not want money that is not justly due
1t. Certain laws have been passed
which make taxable the earning OF
certain income, and others which make
the doing or selling of certain things
subject to tax.
AS soon as such law has been
passed, great numbers of people. af-
fected by its provisions, Immediately
take or send to the Revenue Office,
voluntarily, the tax legally stated to be
due. For the Government TO stop here
would be unfair to these people The
Government, when it accepts the first
voluntary dollar under any taxing pro-
vision, obligates itself to see that ey-
cry other person in like circumstances
will pay like amount. This fact is
not only revenue, but justice. Mr.. Par
dee is considered an expert on the in
dividual incom@tax, and will he found
at his Office on the second floor of the
Federal Building when his duties do
not call him elsewhere.
