TO HOSPITAL
SHOULD Be PAID NOW

The finance committee of the
Emergency Hospital asks all persons
who have not yet paid their pledges
to do so now if possible The Hos
pital is busy and is doing good work,
but it is a constant struggle to make
beth ends meet. and the assistance
which the public has given so gem
eously in the past is still needed. 1t
must be remembered that $4,000 is
still owing on the Nurses Home and
$4,000 on note that has teen run
ming for several years. BY strict
economy $4,000 was naid of on the
latter last year and the finance COM
mittee would like to do as well this
year.
So if you still owe on your pledge
and feel able to pay do not put it
of any longer. but send your cheque
payable to the Emergency Hospital,
to Mrs. St George Barber, Davidson
vile, chairman of the finance commit

STRANDED CATBOAT
RESCUED BY YACHT

]. w. Neale, of Mount Washington,
with a party of two other men and
two small boys, was stranded on
Greenberry Point Sunday afternoon
when he ran the large catboat he was
sailing aground on the bar. The boat
has five-foot keel and the efforts of
the party to get her off were unavail-
ing. Their predicament was finally
discovered by persons on board the
"Genevieve," the power yacht of j. w.
Valiant, after they had been thorough
ly drenched in the heavy thunder
storm that came up in the evening.
The yacht stood by to tow them in
but it took two hours to get a small
boat with line from the "Genevieve'
through the heavy seas running off
the Point to the stranded catboat.
A number of pleasure sailors who
were out on Sunday had difficulty in
getting in, but so far no serious ac-
cidents have been heard of.

CLIMATES VERSATILITY
IS SHOWN BY REPORT

Versatility of Maryland soil and eli
mate is shown in the report for the
week of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in cooperation
with the Maryland State Weather
Service of crop conditions.
Early Strawberries, says the re-
port, are blooming in the northern
counties, beginning to ripen in the
central and ripening in the
southern, while picking in the south
ern counties of the Eastern Shore is
in progress. This indicates a var
lance of from two to three weeks in
the time from the blossom to the
ripened fruit. Considering that the
State is less than $50 miles long from
north to south, this is regarded as
remarkable.
The report states that wheat and
rye are in excellent condition, as are
also oats. Garden crops generally
were benefited by the recent rains
but pasture lands on the Eastern
Shore are somewhat in need of more
rain. Tree fruits not killed by the
April frosts are said to be doing WELL
but the crop outlook is only fair.

BELFAST RIOTS EXACT
TOLL OF FOUR LIVES

BELFAST, May 1s.-A wild night
of firing in Marrowbone districts of
Belfast with police and soldiers bat
Ting gunner was followed by fur
ther shooting today as the working
people were on their way to the
shops. At least four men are dead
as result of the firing and many
others are wounded, some seriously.
While last nights firing progressed
outside of the Peoples Hall baptis-
NAL service was in progress inside
and the whole congregation was
thrown into a panic, several women
becoming hysterical. The baptism of
two babies had to be finished in an
other hall, which was sheltered from
the rain of bullets.
Another incident which came to
light to-day was the entering of a
house by body of youths, who asked
for the head of the household, named
Koewn. When informed that he was
out, the youths fired upon and wound
ed Mrs. Koewn and her son.

PICNIC POSTPONED TILL
TOMORROW; CHILDREN
DEFY WEATHER MAN

On account of the bad weather the
Naval Academy Sunday School picnic
has been postponed until tomorrow
when the party will leave at o'clock
from Phlox Landing as planned for
today.
The Academy children think the
weather man could not have realized
that today was the date of their an
nual Sunday School picnic when he
turned on the showers this morning.
But if he does the same thing to-
morrow they propose to disregard
him entirely and have their party in
the Auditorium instead of on the
river.
The weather man has heretofore
shown a proper respect for the day
of the children's outing and given
them sunshine and blue skies, so they
have forgiven him today's mishehav-
ior, and are giving him another
chance tomorrow for a sunshiny day
but if he fails them again it will be
all up with him and he will have tc
stay outside the Auditorium in the
rain while they celebrate indoors.

and swift-moving action any Of the
previous clever dramatic produc-

famed.
Despite the showers occurring SO
frequently, large audience succeed

with eagerness and enthusiasm to the
never-coasing wit which makes this
play unique even among comedies.
The careful and experienced direc-
tion of Paymaster Whitaker resulted
in action so smooth and players so de-
void OF stage consciousness that the
effect was that of watching episodes
in the life of a real family instead of
a well-staged drama.
The ease and dry humor distin-
