SPIRIT OF ROTARY
TOLD BY VISITOR
At TODAYS MEET

A forceful illustration of the spirit
of the Rotary Clubs was given at the
weekly luncheon of the Annapolis club
today, when Frederick Fowler, Presi-
dent of the Rotarians of Port Jervis,
New York, told of 100 per cent at
by his club in maintaining it every
week.
For instance, Mr.. Fowler said, he
came to Annapolis today for the eX-
press purpose of attending the weekly
gathering of Rotarians, as he was in
Washington on business and having
just missed that clubs meeting yes
terday by few hours, found that An
napolis was the only club he could
reach this week During the entire
two years of his membership he had
never missed a single weekly meeting
of a Rotary Club and the local clubs
meeting today, which was shown by
the Rotary directory given him by the
Washington secretary, enabled him to
keep up his record.
He also told of the lively competi-
ton among the Port Jervis Rotarians
in this matter of prompt and regular
attendance and said it was the same
spirit which he had found among the
clubs everywhere. and which largely
accounted for the strength they had
developed wherever formed Lag
CARDS, he said, were summarily drop
ped, and only those who cheerfully
bore their part in community service

MORE NEW MEASURES
OF LOCAL INTEREST

The House of Delegates at today's
session KILLED" the bill of Delegate
Dunlap, Of Anne Arundel county, that
would have given owners of river
property the first call on ducking
blind licenses for sites off their own
shores.
The law has been that the rule of
first come. first served" applied and
the riparian owners have to take their
chances along with others Conse-
quently the waters of Severn. Mago-
thy, Rhode, West and South rivers
have long since been lined up with
ducking blinds every 800 yards. and
owned by divers and sundry persons,
both resident and nonresident.
Change Proposed In Bill
Delegate Dunlap's bill would have
changed the present law by adding the
following new provision:
And the owner of the riparian
shore property shall have the absolute
privilege of applying for and obtain
ing said license in each and every year
conditioned however. upon his so APP
plying TO said Clerk on or before the
first day of May in each and every
year. and in case said owner so fails
to obtain said license then any other
person can apply and obtain said Ii
cense, and when 50 obtained such IL
cense shall have the right over any
other person. except the riparian
owner as aforesaid, to renew his Ii
cense from year TO year"
This proposed new law at once
aroused widespread interest, not only
in Anne Arundel county but else
where, as in the past two or three
years the rare water privileges OF the
county have attracted attention OF
outside sportsmen. who were con-
cerned about the bill no less than local
followers OF the sport.
The bill today came from the COM
mittee with an unfavorable report,
which was promptly adopted by the
House. thus ending it for this session.

LIVELY RUNAWAY
STIRS UP
LUNENBURG
Horse, With Hay Rake,
Pulls Down Column on
BOWker Store

A staid nag attached to a hay
rake out in the field at Silsby-
lands, the farm home of H. I.
Silsby in Lunenburg, doing in
the warm mellow sunshine ready
to "rake after" the load, woke up
suddenly Monday afternoon and
proceeded to start something.
Just what supplied the impetus
has not been definitely diagnosed.
Whether it was a stray bee that
misplaced its sting, or it was just
the sudden realization of the brac-
iug influence of the clear air and
the absence of hay fever of Lun-
enburg Heights, does not matter.
The horse gave a sudden start out
of the field and down the road,
and before it could be headed off
or stopped it had gained the
highway and was on its uninter-
rupted way to the village, some
thing less than half mile away,
This happened between the
hours of three and four O'Clock,
when luckily, the highway is less
frequented than at some other
hours of the day, or night. The
turnout met no obstruction on the
highway, down past the cross
roads to the village, but there the
horse turned in between the gaso-
line station and NJ. d. Bowker's
store and, as it found the space a
trifle narrow for its needs, pro-
ceeded to widen it by taking off a
corner of the piazza and pulling
out one of the big colonial pillars
that have dignifcd the store front
for the last sixty years.
Here the rake was demolished
and the horse scratched some, but
not seriously and the excursion
came to an end with no one hurt
and no damage done that cannot
be readily repaired. 1t was one
of those fortunate accidents,
whose possibilities Of serious re-
suits were alarmingly numerous.
Everyone concerned is to be con-
graduated that it was no worse.

EXTRA
TIED
UP BY STRIKE
ON SURFACE ROAD

CHICAGO. A1g. Twenty
thousand motormen conductors
and guards on the surface and ele-
waited lines of the city went out
on a strike at 400 o'clock this
morning, protesting against a II
per cent wage cut. The greater
part of the working portion of
Chicago's 100000 people were
forced to seek improvised transpor-
tation.
There was no statement from the
company officials as to when an
effort would be made to resume
traffic, but a Chicago paper in a
copyrighted story said the strike
would be a war to the finish be-
tween the management and the
employees.
The city authorities have pre-
pared for use at any moment the
entire police force of 5000 men
and it is understood that certain
units of the Illinois National Guard
have been ordered to be in readi-
ness for duty.

The second would provide that
all lawsuits brought by either
