Consider the Sun Dial.

AT the very bottom of the rubbish
pile since April "A is the sun dial.
There was time when the sun dial
regulated the comings and the goings
of mankind. The clock was a new
idea which changed the worlds ideal,
and the sun dial was merely tolerated.
But the latest idea. daylight saving,
has wiped the sun dial from the pic
lure. Ma matter how 1t tries. it can
not bring itself into step with today.
If the sun dial could voice its pro
test 1t would proclaim that it repre-
sents all that is stable in the universe.
The sun has marked the course for
ages. it would warn. and to deyiate
from this must lead to destruction. 1t
would demand respect for its vested
right Because the world would not
listen 1t would call the world awry
The sun dial is a standpatter.-Afil-
waukee Journal.

HELP THE FIREMAN

The flrcmen's bazar that opened
at West Annapolis last night
richly deserves liberal patronage
by the people OF Annapolis, and
the suspicious opening affords
much encouragement that this

urb OF the city is without any
modern apparatus of any kind.
being dependent entirely on the
antiquated hook and ladder 50
kindly loaned by the Annapolis
Department The object OF the
bazaar is to raise money for the
purchase of hrc-iighting appli-
ances that will be adequate to
cope with any emergency likely
10 arise
While il is true that in case OF
a serious conlagration i'll that sec
tion the city fire department and
the Naval Academy fire depart
ment could be called ON for aid,
il is of the utmost Importance that
the West Annapolis people and
the residents of Wardour should
have some hrst-hand effective
protection OF their own. The
suburb is sparsely built up, but a
modest equipment located at a
convenient point would be imal-
liable in checking a blaze in any
OF the number Of homes along or
near the Severn.
The young men OF West Anna
polls and the older ones, too
would meet little difficulty in
maintaining a well-trained and
active organization of freight
ers. The West Annapolis Fire
and Improvement Association is
lending its aid to the bazaar which
the volunteer fremen-now only
bucket brigade "-and the
women ,of the community have
planned. The whole neighbor-
hood-and that means Annapolis
and vicinity.-ought to encourage
the West Annapolis irenen. and
prove again that those who help
themselves can depend upon
others to help. They have the
spirit and the purpose, and should
be aided by every one with the
welfare and progress of the whole
community at heart to property
equip themselves with apparatus.

Sun Spots.

Sun spots are now thought to be a
sign of the commencing debility of the
dwarfed and shrunken star which we
call the sun. II this. idea he correct
they will become more frequent and
larger as ages pass. until at length our
much-admired orb of day is darkened
and ceases to be worthwhile source
of heat
Astronomers and meteorologists are
much interested in sun spots, and
keep constant watch on them. Dur
ing the last few months they have
been remarkably few and small
1t seems to have been proved that
spotted areas of the sun have lower
temperature than the bright spots.
Hence 1t is inferred that quite possibly
the recent relative absence of sun
spots may be accountable for the re-
niarkabIy warm winter we have been
enjoying.

KOREANS NOW USE THE AUTO
Modern Vehicle Has Displaced the
Wheelbarrow Which Was Once
Only Means of Conveyance.

The automobile has made its way
into Korea. as it has into many an
other eastern land. so there is little
need now, as the highways improve,
for the Old-time wheelharrow that
used TO he the only vehicle on the high
ways of this backward kingdom. This.

wheelbarrow for single passenger
But it was car of state I'm the days

days why such car should have
found favor. In fact, there were two
reasons. First. the conveyance re-
quired five men--literally-to run II.
These advertised the wealth and the
Importance of the rider. Second the
single wheel on which 1t ran easily
followed the paths of the paddy fields.
These. as everyone knows who has
seen rice growing. are very narrow
and are bounded by water-filled
bitches. In other words, this strange
vehicle made short cuts possible and
also the arrival of the distinguished
passenger at the door of the equally
distinguished person on whom he
called.
There are few such equipages as
this remaining even in Korea.

ELECTRIC LIGHT FOR ANGLER

POE AND FAVE

The place OF Edgar Allan Poe
in Iiterature-not only American
but English-speaking letters = IS
unique. He was poet. short story
writer and critic, with hint OF
the essayist in his work. There IS
the disappointing effect OF a
study OF his writings which one
experiences when listening 10 an
artist in music and that artist
suddenly ceases to play. without
the usual finale. But the decision
to admit him to the Hall OF
Fame. not as poet, but as the
creator OF the short story" IS
disappointing. lie should have
been given both credits.
1t seems unfortunate that he
could not have been classified in
both groups. And yet there is
probably safety in the decision to
immortalize him as a short story
writer rather than as poet. a
a poet he will live no matter what
committees and commissions and
critics and authorities may do.

LETTER TO EDITOR
Civic League Should Devote Some At

70 the Editor Of the EUcniHg Capital:
The recently organized Civic
League has promised to do great
things for the town and certainly
there is no lack of opportunity for 1t
to display its activities.
AS an old Annapolitan who has the
welfare and advancement of the COM
munity sincerely at heart, may ] sug-
gest tina. the Civic League devote
some OF its time To the matter of the
insanitary condition of the chicken
yards OF the town. which to my mind
are crying disgrace TO a place of
this size and Importance.
IL the yards were clean (Which they
are not) the chickens would still be a
nuisance, as they and their lords are
unwilling TO keep the same hours as
The rest of the population. and not

They are up. and if other people won't

This is had enough of itself but far
worse is the dirt and stencil that

DEFENDS DANCING IN CHURCH
q Return to Practice Familiar TO
Early Christians.

I II is a long step from the spiritual
lied dances IN connection with relig-
ious services not uncommon with the
earlier Christians 10 dances of spirit
ual Interpretation in 1921, and the
New York pastor who bridged the CEN
turtles the other Sunday expressed sol
emn realization of his responsibility
in staging the esthetic movements of
a half dozen young women on plat
form in his church, remarks the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. Or. William \. Guth-
rie explained at the close of his serv-
ice and before the beginning of the
dance in connection with the festal
service of the Feast of the Annuncia-
tion, that he simply restored a practice
familiar TO the Christians OF younger
centuries of the enlightened era. and
regretted that so many do not know.
or have forgotten. that spiritualiZed
dancing was once beautiful part of
religious worship. His answer to pos
sible directors 70 the revival may
have been a promise that he expects
TO continue the practice or perhaps TO
bring into use other phases of religious
worship discarded hundreds of years
ago.
Ignorance and prejudice" Doctor
Guthrie is quoted as saying TO his con
gregation. ''have made many persons
believe God will be happy If the church
is closed TO everything except that
which bores. believe the church
should be open to everything that will

THE WOODS
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH
INSPIRATION.

A POET sang. of human things.
a OF gorgeous queens and might,
kings.
And gems that glisten,
He praised the ,brassy front OF show.
TIE ruby's fire and diamonds glow.
Yet none would listen.
He wove him many labored rimes
or ended days and coming times.
OF deeds that stirred him;
He wrote of pomp and circumstance,
The Flap of nag. the light of lance.
But no one heard him.
And thus he learned to know the pain
OF him who sings but sings in vain
To ears averted
Like one who wakes his sweetest tore
70 unresponsiye walls of stone
In halls deserted.
When all the merry melodies
He sang his fellow men 10 please
Brought none to hear him.
lie turned from splendor and from pelf
To sing a measure for himself.
A song to cheer him.
He wrote a song of long ago
A vale where yellow lilies grow
Beside river.
path that leads the weary feet
Where meadowland and waters meet
And rushes CULVER.
He wrote a song OF childhood days,
OF pleasant shade and wooded ways
And summer quiet
A bridge that SPAWNED a gushing rill.
A humble cot upon hill.
With roses by il.
Twas not the creature of his art.
This song upwelling from his heart
In moments lonely
With memory his eyes grew dim.
For then his own soul sang TO him.
The poet only.
But other mortals heard his tale
OF woodland pa tn and verdant vale
To heaven wingng.
And men who scorned his song before
Sought out the poets open door
To hear him singing.
Thus came to him his mistress Fame.
Clad in her aureole of flame
And smile supernal:
No more n fieeting vision now,
she placed upon the singers brow
The kiss eternal
And then the poet. fool and sage.
Turned gently from his written page,
While braves Numbered
And, when he saw the listening throng
or .hose who once had spurned his song
He greatly wondered
