MAY

THE youthful name Of May 10
4 peculiarly difficult to discuss.
There are two explanations of its ex-
istence. Some etymologists claim that
II is the final contraction and endear.
ment Of Margaret and translate Il to
near "a pearl"
But though May Is undoubtedly one
Of the innumerable forms of Margaret,
coming through the Scotch by stages
Of evolution from Maisie and MaIdie.
II ls so much simpler and more logical
to believe that May is really one Of
the calendar names bestowed In honor
of the fifth month of the year. II IL
the name Of springtime and blossoms
and nesting birds and as such has q
place of distinction all Its own. II
has no antecedents, under this theory.
and cannot be contracted more than
il already is.
The fad for naming babies by the
name of the month In which they were
born probably brought May into vogue
The sudden spring to fame Of April as
a feminine name Is another instance
and August is so honored by Augusta
1t Is a curious fact that no other
language has an equivalent for May,
whether she is a derivative of Mar
garet or separate entity. Only the
Scotch, which evolved her by the
former theory, possess her; even Eng.
land had to accept her as new name
In the language.
Because of her possible dual origin.
May is the lucky possessor of two
tallsmanic gems Either the pearl OF
purity or the emerald of prophecy viii
prove lucky stone for her. The
former gives her charm and friends,
the latter intelligence, and prophetic
vision. Sunday is her lucky day and
ave her lucky number.

ANNAPOLIS INVITES ELKS CON.
VENTlON FOR 1923


Members OF the Annapolis
delegation of Elks who will at.
tend the State convention of the
order in Erostburg next week
will do everything within their
power to have Annapolis selected
as the meeting place OF the 1922
State Convention, and, in making
their bid for next years gather
ing, the local Elks may rest as
sured that public sentiment in the
matter in both the city and coun,
ty is heartily behind them.
The Mayor and City Council
the Board of County Commits
sioners, the Rotary Club, the
Chamber of Commerce, and other
organizations have heartily en-
dorsed the movement to bring the
convention here, and if the An
napolis Elks succeed in their ef.
forts. Anne Arundel county will
be ready TO greet the visitors il
a spirit of true friendship apd hos.
pitality. go H
In presenting the claims of An.
napolis as the next convention
city. members of the local dele
cation can point with pride to the
pre-eminent qualification of this
city for such meeting.
Situated as it is on the Severn
River, with the waters Of the
Chesapeake only short distance
away and surrounded by other
rivers unsurpassed anywhere in
the world for natural beauty. An
napolis has much to offer to visi-
tors in the way of wonderful seen
cry. delightful water trips and
splendid fishing and bathing. The
Naval Academy, old St. Johns
College-one of the oldest educa-
tional institutions in the United
Statcs-the State government
buildings. and numerous colonial
mansions OF type reminiscent OF
pre-Revolutionary days, also are
some of the points of exceptional
interest to the thousands OF
guests entertained here every
year.
Annapolis. too, is centrally To-
Gated, and, being the capital OF
they State. it is entirely appro-
pirate that a'convention Which in
cludes delegations from every
section of the commonwealth
such as the annual assemblages
of the Elks, should be held al
the seat of the State government
However, aside from the many
other attractions which Anuapo-
lis holds for the visitor the gen
erous hospitality of Anne Arun-
del countians to "the strange
within our gates" is such that all
are assured a cordial welcome
here, and no stone will be left un-
turned in making next years
State convention of the Elks a
gala occasion if il is decided to
hold it in oar midst. u.s.

SURELY mean Man
Young Woman Had Her Idea Of
Staten Islander.
All Right to Employ Flashlights In q
Proper Manner, but One Should
Use Discretion.

sFirehies in winter!" calculated the
visitor to Staten island. He was gaz-
Ing on a little lake set In the midst
Of a stretch Of woodland. II was a
dark night, unlighted by moon. and
yet having that clarity Of atmosphere
that makes even dark night outdoors
so much less dark than dark room.
Above the figures which he could
dimly descry moving about on the
frozen surface OF the pond numbers
Of irefiies seemed to fiit. The lights
followed the gyrations OF the skaters.
It appeared. coming together at times
In groups Of golden points picked out
against the darkness.
ut isn't f1refiies, It's flashlights" re-
piled the Staten island householder
who had led a group OF Manhattan
visitors through the woods to the
pond. "Here on Staten island, where
we're close TO nature, we don't patron
lie Kinks, but seek out open-air lakes
and ponds. Flashlights have come to
be part of our necessary skating
equipment because we have to pro-
wide our. own lights on secluded ponds
far from municipality lighted areas.
Eve drive our cars down to the
edge 0f the lake and then leave the
headlights on while we skate, but
even this eliminates only a small part
Of the lake For putting on skates,
identifying friends and finding our
way over the occasional rough
stretches of Ice we have to depend on
our flashlights"
A look OF distress mantled the face
OF the Staten islander momentarily.
"By George, I had a narrow escape
the other night" he confided. "If II
hadn't been for my fiashlight I'd have
been a goner,"
"Holdup manT questioned the Man.
hattanite.
"Holdup!" scornfully replied the
Staten Islander. "Why, man, that's
nothing to what got away from
almost said something sweet to the
wrong woman! She's one Of the mar
rying kind, too, by George! Just
thought to turn on my fashlight FIN
time. She'd have had me. sure. II
was a darn close shave"
The Staten islander, who is con.
6rmed old bachelor. shiyered per-
ceptibly, although the night was not
at all cold.
As they moved over the ice the
Staten islander from time to time
flashed his light on the wooded edge
Of the bank; especially. It seemed to
the Manhattanite aid he seek out SO.
cluded little corners and indentations
Of the shore line with its revealing
torch.
More than once the flash Illuminated
q couple Of figures clasped in warm
embrace, and on these occasions the
Staten islander chuckled delightedly
But apparently the diversion Of ex-
posing loves young dream was moi
equally popular with all the patrons
of the lake. As they reached the
shore after a couple Of rounds they
encountered young couple lettering
on the bank. It seemed to the Man.
hattanite that the young woman
raised her voice unnecessarily as they
passed.
II used to think" she said, In clear
far-reaching accents. that the mean.
est man on earth was the one who
worked the flashlights on the Albany
night line.
But now / know there are even
meaner people in the world--especial.
" one old dodo who noses around this

extent the committee will slowly en-
croach upon the domain of the dealer
as a distributor. aud the dealer, find
Ing coal scarce for his own trade, will
have TO appeal to the committee
along with large consumers.
How To Apply For Coal
The applications for emergency
COAL TO be issued by the Maryland
Coal Committee require guarantees
for prompt payment by the bank Or
trust company where the ultimate
consignee has his account. Applica-
tons will first be issued by the Mary
land committee, filled in by the ap-
plicant. taken by him TO his bank or
trust company for guarantee that
payment for the coal will be forth
coming. and forwarded to the Federal
Fuel Distributor in Washington. He
In turn. examines ii, approves it, and
sends II on to the mine as an order
for the required amount OF coal.
The applicant will be required to
state. in addition to the grade and
size of coal he desires, the quantity
his average daily consumption. his
stock on hand, whether he is now un-
der contract for coal and with whom
and the name of the shipper and the
district from which lie ordinarily gets
his coal
Similar To Former Plan
The offer of the State Board OF For
estry to supply rural residents with
wood was made by Karl e. Pfeiffer
assistant State Forester. i'm the alb
sence of F. w. Besley. State Forester
The plan is similar to that which was
followed during the coal shortage Of
1917-191S.
II is pointed out, that wood can be
used advantageously by farmers at a
much less cost and with little more
trouble. HardwQods, such as hickory
white oak and black locust. are found
in large quantities throughout the
State in ratio of two to one COM
pared with pine woods. The heating
value of a cord of black locust is
equal to that of ton OF coal when
dry.
Dried Wood Better As Fuel
AS dried wood burns much better
and has a greater heating value, the
forestry board urges that the timber
be cut now In readiness for winter
use. AS an example, they cite that a
cord of hickory has the heating value
of 1.O2 tons of coal when dry. as COM
pared with 40 ton when green.
1t is estimated that two cords OF
wood are used to one ton of coal
With the virtually unanimous CO.
operation of residents of the rural
sections. about 100000 cords OF
wood would be used in place of the
amount OF anthracite which would be
diverted to city residents.
Not only will the Coal Distribution
Committee urge the rural residents to
use wood. said Mr.. Maloy.s but when
requests are made for coal investiga-
ton will follow to ascertain whether
wood can be substituted. If they find
that the latter can be advantageously
used. the request for coal will be re-
ferred to the State Board of Forestry
! which will determine where the sub
! stitute fuel can be obtained
