\. v. c. A. HAS BEEN
RENOVATED AND WILL
REOPEN ON MONDAY

The Annapolis "Y" will re-open on
Monday after being closed for two
months during which time extensive
repairs to the building both inside and
out have been made. The outside of
the building was first gone over by
capable carpenter, and every part
OF the woodwork put in first-class
condition from the foundation walls
to the top of the building; then the
painters took charge, and a casual
glance will convince anyone that
everything has been done to make this
one Of the most attractive spots in
the city.
The exterior painting has all been
paid for by funds derived from the
entertainment given by the Girls
Work Department in the Circle Play
house in June. under the supervision
OF Miss Burch, in which scores of lit
tie children took part; so that count
less families of the city can look with
especial pride upon this part of the
work, since so many of them, through
their little ones, helped to earn this
fund.
The inside of the building no less
than the outside has been completely
transformed. and is a delight to the
eye. Here all wood work has been
renewed, all cracked ceilings torn off
and replaced with the most sanitary
materials; the place for the serving
ladies has been enlarged, all the floors
thoroughly cleaned and painted, new
windows cut in the kitchen, thus max
ng for more sanitary conditions
there. the back yard thoroughly clean
ed up, in short the whole property has
6een made into one of the most COM
plete and up-to-date homes" the "Y''
can toast.
The expense of the interior decora-
tions has been borne to a great ex-
tent by friends whose modesty will
not permit their names to be known.
but who are true friends of the "Y"
and through it of the community it
seeks to serve.
The "Y' extends a most cordial in
vitation to all the people of Annapo-
lis to come in and see what has been
done, and promises that with the sup
port of the community, which in the
past has so generously helped to keep
/ going, it will be run along safe and
sane business lines as heretofore. and
continued as an uplift centre in the
city's midst.

WOMEN OF MARYLAND
ARE TWO TO ONE WET"
STATE THIRD IN LIST

Maryland women rank third in the
wetness of their liquor law senti-
ments. according to the last INSTALL
ment of the Literary Digest" poll.
They return 4 vote OF 416 for the
enforcement OF the Eighteenth
Amendment; 465 for its modification
and 4lO for its repeal, making a ratio
OF to l against existing prohibition
laws.
New York women are the wettest.
with a l5-to-6 vote against Volstead-
ism. Second are the women of New
Jersey. who turn Ia thumbs down for
every six they elevate, and Louisi-
ana's feminine vote is about on a par
with Maryland's.
The. State vote for repeal, however,
is proportionally the largest. In
other States the bulk of strength is
concentrated in the demands for
modification.
The entire account of the poll in
this weeks issue of the weekly is
given over to the vote of the women
who have cast SS,115 votes to date.
or these, 55,5 per cent. want a
change in the present laws, while 44.5
are satisfied. This is a gain in dry
sentiment over the earlier tabulations
OF women's ballots.
The national women's vote tallies
this way:
For enforcement. -. 1921
For modification. -. 32,569
For repeal, ........ 1885
The Digest" interprets the de-
crease in the feminine wet vote from
the previous tabulation to the greater
sectionalism of the women's senti-
ment in regard to prohibition. Early
returns from the East showed women
to be almost as wet as the men, who
have steadily returned majorities for
a change in the liquor legislation.
