AUTO PARADE
AT OWENSV|LLE AND
CLAGGETT'S HALL

All roads on Friday will lead to
Davidsonville, where an event unique
in the history of the county will take
place at l p. m.
Plans are completed for an automo-
bile parae and tournament to be given
for the benefit of the Emergency Hos
pital on tho farm of Thomas Duckett.
During the afternoon there will be
music by six pieces of the Naval Acad-
emy band. A sale of sandwiches and
refreshments will be theld on the
grounds all afternoon. A fee of fifty
cents will be charged for admission to
the grounds.
In the evening the tournament will
be followed by dance in the David
sonYille hall at s o'clock, at which
time the coronation of the queen and
maids of honor will take place.
The tournament and auto parade
are being given under the auspices of
the Davidsonville Woman's Club and
the Tournament Association. Many
entries have been made in both the
professional and amateur classes of
riders for the tournament, and the
rivalry is keen, though friendly
Automobiles, gaily decorated, will
enter for the parade from all sections
of tho county, and this is expected to
be a very attractive feature of the af-
ternoon.

MORE PRECAUTIONS
FOR AUTOMOBILISTS


Promoters of carnivals or other
similar public exhibitions are placed
on the same basis of a circus. and
viii have to pay the city license fee
of SIS nightly during such exhibitions,
under the provisions of an ordinance
which was adopted at the meeting of
the City Council last night. The ordi-
nance amends the present City Code
relating to licenses for public amuse-
ments.
Another ordinance, which was also
ado pied blythe Council. was that per-
tanning to the fire departments, in tnat
the caretakers and chauffeurs of the
fire-fighting apparatus are placed on
the same footing as members of the
city police force in so, far as allow
ances for clothing equipment is con-
cerned That is. they will receive a
commutation of $3.50 quarterly for
this purpose. The chauffeurs have
been making a fight for some time for
this allowance. it having been con-
tended that the city should make
some provision for their uniforms.
A third ordinance to receive the ap-
prevail of the city solons was that add
ing another provision TO the City Code
relative to traffic of automobiles over
tho city streets as a further precau-
ton to guard against accidents. In
the future, drivers of cars will be COM
PEELED to sound their horns upon ap-
preaching the intersection of Bladen
street and College avenue; West street
and Church Circle, and Church Circle
and Main street. There is often a
great congestion of vehicle traffic at
these three sections. and it is felt that
extraordinary care should be exer-
cised.
In connection with city ordinances
proposed for the future, a motion
made by Mayor Levy last night pro-
vides that all ordinances after being
drawn shall be printed and copies
placed on the desks of members of the
Council an remain there for their at
tention for a period of one month be-
fore final consideration is given them.

among the members of the City Conn
ell last night, action was taken

ter street for dancing and other en-
tertainmcnts, either by public ar
rangement or by invitation. Hereto

reduced to SIS. For dances or enter
tainments by invitation, the fee has
been reduced from $3.50 to $3.50.
This matter has been approached
on previous occasions, but the Coun-
ell was moved TO definite action
through the application of A. NJ.

rcnths, has promoted public dances

ROBERT F. ELLERS
NAMED ENGINEER
CITY WATER WORKS

The Board of Directors of the An
napolis Water Company has appoint
ed Robert f. Ellers, of Eastport, as
engineer at the water works plant,
located four miles southwest of the
city. The appointment of Mr.. Ellers
is to fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of c. Roland Brady and
he will enter upon his duties on 0c-
toher 1, Mr.. Brady's resignation hav-
ing been rendered ITO take effect by
that date The salary of the position
is $3.50 per month. and emoluments
consist of dwelling house, light and
fuel
Mr.. Ellers has for the last several
years been employed as engineer of
the State power plant here, and for
some time prior to coming here he
filled similar position at the Mary
land House of Correction at Jessups,
this county. Mr.. Ellers has been a
valuable man about the State build
ings here and the State officials will
regret the loss of his services. He
now lives at Eastport.
The determination of Mr.. Brady to
resign the position at the Water Com
pany's plant was due to the refusal
of the Board of Directors to grant
him an increase of salary and also
to provide for certain repairs to his
residence. He succeeded his father
as engineer at the works, the latter
having held the position for many
years.
The appointment of Mr.. Eilers was

cants. They were: Fred Lamb,
George Wilking. L. H. Blades J..

NOTABLE OCCASION
Afternoon Session Given Over
To Practical Features Of Reg

At Big Gathering
GOVERNOR RITCHIE
EXTENDS WELCOME

That women ARE, waiting TO. be told
something about politics in which
they are now to take an active part
by being voters, was evidenced at
both meetings held yesterday after
noon and night, respectively, at the
State House.
Large numbers of representative
women from all parts of the county
wore present at the afternoon meet
ing and showed keen interest in the
speeches which gave them insight into
the method of handling the ballot,
marking it correctly, and the names Of
candidates thereon.
The nights meeting held in the
House of Delegates was presided over
by Mrs. Charles Z. Ellicott, president
of the Woman's Suffrage League of
Maryland, and was notably large
gathering. Mrs. Ellicott introduced
Governor Ritchie, who urged all wom-

said and he urged upon them the nee
essity of helping to make the educa-
tional system of Maryland the best.
What the two. great political par
ties stand for in the present campaign
was presented by James NJ. Munroe
on behalf of the Republican Party and
by Ridgely p Melvin on behalf of the
Democratic Party.
At the outset it was made plain
that the one issue of outstanding .im-
portance which distinguishes the two
positions is the issue of the League
of Nations, and the remarks of each
speaker were accordingly largely con-
fined to this point. Mr.. Munroe
adopted this as the test between the
two parties, and Mr.. Melvin promptly
accepted the challenge.
Article 10 of the covenant of the
League OF Nations came in for the
principal part of the discussion. This
is the Article that provides that the
members of the League shall respect
and guarantee each others sover-

ercise of undue influence; that he did
not know or understand the contents

was not properly attestod by him nor

PET KITTENS DEATH
POINTS TO POISON

"Kippy." the beautiful Angora kit
ten of George A. Myers, of Conduit
street, and a pet of all the neighbor-
hood, died yesterday morning, and it
is believed the kitten was poisoned.
Afew weeks ago a Persian kitten in
tho same neighborhood also died. and
it is thought its death also was due to
the same cause.
A veterinarian was called in yester-
day morning to see the cat, but it was
too late. as "Kippy" was too far gone
for veterinary skill.

Hopes that the Legislature might
be able to conclude the special ses-
sion probably as early as tonight had

ar routine would be followed.

ANIMAL LIFE. At ITS WORST
Woe BECOME Specimens Of Dogs. Pigs,
and Horses In the Cuban Pee
rc... vince Of Pinar del Rio. ..!

There are more dogs than any 9th
or kind OF animal life In Pinar del
Rio, the westernmost province OF
Cuba. and chickens. pigs, ponies and
goats rank next In the order named
Dogs may be, seen everywhere. but
they are lazy and Indifferent. Each
shack.hold has a few chickens, none
Of which would have the shade Of 4
chance In a poultry show. but might
hold their own at cooking main.
There are many pigs to be seen. but
they are so thin and weakened that
the much abused razor-back looks iike
q prosperous porker, says the National
Geographical Magazine. Each pig Is
anchored fast to q peg in the ground.
tethered to I rope. Knowing that II
the rope were passed only about the
pigs neck he could wiggle free, the
native passes 1t around the pig in the
front of one shoulder and behind the.
opposite leg, and then draws it tight
enough to prevent the pig from back;
ing out of it%ors creeping through. ;.
The horses one sees are between;
the Texas and the Shetland pony in
size. and so thin that one wonders II,
they can make a shadow. Mich goats,
which are the cows of Pinar del Rio,
seem to be the one class Of animal
able to look fat and sleek.
