unhappily those who might point

who might remove that obstacle
appear TO prefer TO wait. obsessed
by the hope apparently that they
can circunvent in their particular

and may lose less by the process
than the others.
Fortunately here in Annapolis

seems to lie in finding a sufficient

ROMAN RECORDS IN AFRICA
Discovery II is Believed viii Throw
Much Light on Early History
Of the Empire.

A discovery which, 1t is claimed,
sources for a history Of the Roman
empire under Augustus has been made
recently by Doctor 0liyerio. an Ital-
Ian savant in Cyrene, the ancient
Greek colony In Africa, founded in the
Seventh century.
A Morning Post correspondent, writ
ing from Cyrene. says that excavations
at Bengasi-the ancient Bereniee.
which stood in the midst of the gar
dens of the Hesperides, near the mouth
of the River Lethe-have resulted in
the unearthing of block of marble
eight feet long, one face of which
bears fiawless Greek inscription of
over one hundred lines; the transla-
ton of letter from Augustus on the
government and administration of JUS
tice in Cydenaica. giving a wonderful
insight into the financial and judicial
conditions of the country at that time,
Other interesting finds are sane
tuary dedicated TO Eastern diyinities,
probably of the tilne of Julian the
Apostate, with a remarkably well-pre
served black marble statue of an
Egyptian goddess. An extensive
Ptolemaic cemetery also has been To-
Gated. At Apollonia, Christian. ba-
silica Of the Fifth century is being ex-
cavated, and at Merdj. the ancient
BARGE, some Cutie inscriptions have
been found which are held to be of
great Importance when the history Of
the Arab conquest comes to be written.

Something to
Think AbOnt
WHAT CHILDREN READ
By r. #. WALKER

nE0PIE would not worry so much
about what they call the modern
child" If they emily stopped 10
think that fathers and mothers, I'M
cles and aunts, of every generation
had their doubts as TO the new genera
ton.
In fact, Adam and Eve were. in all
probability, the only proud parents in
all history who never said. children
did NOT do such things when we were
young
The very latest discovery that has
been made about the little boys and
girls Of America is that their taste
in reading is quite different from that
of their elders at the same age.
Ii appears that they are finding
rather dull some OF the things that
appealed 10 the youngsters of former
days. and are demanding more excite
ment ihan is good for them.
II is wen. in thinking about such a
subject. always to remember that Older
people have weakness for, consider
ing any such change in taste as for the
worse.
That is the compliment that matur-
ity pays to itself.
The great trouble Is that we don't
remember what we really cared for
when we were small.
Many Of the things that we were
supposed to enjoy we didn't really like
until we grew up. Others that were
forced on US for our good were spoiled
for us forever.
Children have no sense of subtlety,
or irony. This is natural.
They read "Alice in Wonderland"
or "Gulliver's Travels" or The Ara
bian Nights" for the straight story.
not for any secondary meaning that
is beyond them.
A clever American woman suggests
that the children, especially in Il big
family, should be encouraged 10 write
stories of wild adventure for each
other.
This is not so impossible or far
fetched as il seems.
A good example came TO light re-

Theodore Roosevelt.

among his sons and daughters until
the very last.

From him and his youngsters, the

For children the world is still, and
always will be, full of a number of
things. The main thing is not to try
to turn them into little men s1d

THE HOUSE NEED OF THE
SMALL CITIES

An interesting feature OF the
housing shortage hes in that
cities of less than $4,000 popula-
ton are i'll more acute need OF
home construction than cities OF
larger population. This fact i:
revealed in responses to a ques-
tionnaire sent. out by Building
Age. Answers were received
from 800 cities. 100 of them over
$4,000 population and the re
mainder in the smaller class.
With the needs directly express
ed as a basis on which to plac.
an estimate, it appears that the
smaller cities of the country are
in need of S22 ,905 houses while
the larger ones need but 319 .52S.
This situation is conclusive evil
dence that there is a great build
ing business ahead, If the cost is
brought within limits which will
prove encouraging to those want
ing homes. Activity in that line
alone would be sufficient to lift
US out of the business depression.

ERNESTINE.

ERNESTlNE has an origin of lofty
- dignity. She is one of the Eagle"
names. Like many of the fem
fnine names connected with mythol-
ogy, the eagle occupied position Of
great respect and even alteration
among the ancients, and his name,
with various suffiXes and prefixes, fur
nished many of the cognomens then in
vogue.
LII Scotland the word for eagle was
"erne" and the name was found in all
countries where there We're mountains,
the homeland of the king of birds.
Arnridur, or Arneidur, was the first
of the eagle ladies. She was said to
be the daughter of Asbiorn, of the
Hebrides, who was sold to an Ice
lander named Katell Thymr. This
lady had the good fortune to find
quantity of silver sufficient for her
ransom beneath the roots of tree, but
she decided to remain the wife of
Thymr and goes down in history as
one of the famous women of Iceland.
The next step in the evolution of
Ernestine was Arnthora, and later An
nora, who was the wife of Bernard de
st. Taleyr. Her name was carried in
to the family of Braose by King Johns
victim, Maude de St Valery, who
called one of her daughters Annora.
The masculine Ernesto, which pre-
ceded Ernestine directly, appeared
first in Lombardy in the year T52,

THIS RIDE A REAL THRILLER
Ascent by Elevator to Summit Of
Alpine Peak Worth Going Long
Journey to Take.

For years one of the most thrilling
incidents of visit to the Alps has
been the ascent of the Jungfrau on
the ccg-rail road that starts from
Kleine Scheidegg, ut an elevation OF
GIL feet and climbs the mountain
side at the startling grade of % per
cent, or an angle of about ID degrees,
till 1t reaches Jungfraujoch, at an ele-
walton of 1889 feet.
In an illustrated article in Popular
Mechanics Magazine is told how 1t is
now proposed to add to this wonderful;
experience in mountain climbing still
further thrill, by comparison with which
the former will appear quite insipid.
From the present end of the track the
mountain scars another 2,206 feet TO
the summit at an elevation of 1921
feet. BY means of excavations ami
tunnels the track will be extended UNI
til it reaches spot in the center OK
the conical summit directly below Its
highest point. From the end of this
tunnel shaft will be bored vertically
TO the summit itself, and in this shaft
passenger elevators viii be installed,
so that Alpine mountaineers will end
their long thrilling railroad climb with
an elevator trip like an exaggerated
ride to the top of the Woolworth
building in New York city. The climax
will find them landed at the extreme
summit of one of the highest peaks in
the Alps, with view of world of
snow-cIad, craggy mountain tops
around them.

Good NeiQhbors.n

Mrs. Merriweather and her four
small children lived in a little house
In - street. where the neighbors
were exceedingly friendly over the
back fence. and made many back-door
calls. Mrs. N. began to worry about
the children and their surroundings
as they, grew older, and moved to an
other part of the town. Shortly after
moving away Geraldine met one OF
the old neighbors who inquired as to
how she liked her new home and the
neighbors. Geraldine, being only seven
and honest, replied:

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 1921.
OPENING THE DOOR OF
OPPORTUNITY

Senator Weller is TO be warm
" commended for adopting the
course he has announced for hll-
ing vacancies at the Naval Acad-
envy. He will have the appoint
ment OF two midshipmen for the
vacancies which will occur III
June OF next year, and. in order
that all young men OF Maryland,
irrespective OF politics or other
irrelevant considerations, may
have an equal opportunity, the
Senator has decrced that the eX-
animation shall be competitive
and open to all alike. This gives
70 every boy in the State. who is
between sixteen and twenty years
old, chance to become naval
officer without regard to influence
or politics.
The Senator, who is graduate
OF the Naval Academy, secured
his own appointment by competi-
tive examination, and he has de-
termined TO give the young plen
of the State an opDortunity SINH
lar to that which he had. M
1t is announced that competi-
tive examination for these two
appointments will be held by the
United States Civil Service Com
mission on October 90 in Anna
polls, and at the same time in
Baltimore. Cumberland Hagers-
town. Easton and Salisbury. and
that the Senator will appoint the
two certified by the Commission
as having passed the best exami-
nation.
The course adopted by the
Senator in this matter, and par
ticularly the spirit of it, will un-
doubtedly meet with hearty re-
Spouse on the part of the eligible
youths of the State, and also be
gratefully appreciated by those
interested in them. Many a
worthy lad has had thwarted his
ambition to become a naval Off
Ger, and his parents have accepted
in despair a condition which con
fined the elect to those boys who
happened to be specially favored
through political consideration or
blood relationship TO some smem-
Der of Congress. A competitive
examination, such as that an
nounced by Senator Weller. is in
keeping with the spirit OF the
times, which would eliminate spe-
cial favoritism in a matter OF this
nature, and will bring deep salts
faction not only to the young men
who are given this opportunity.
but more especially to the Sena-
tor himself. in realizing that he
has launched a career for Young
men who prove themselves in
open competition rs specially
fitted for it. and who would other
wise be denied this opportunity,
