according to recent rumors. From
Chicago comes the word that the
Midwest Conference has made an at
tractive offer to the diminutive men
tor to forsake the Navy and become
director of the pugilistic art for the
Big Ten.
Last summer Webb had charge of
boxing in the University of Illinois
Summer School for Coaches and made
a decided hit with the authorities.
Accordingly plans were at once got
ten under way to secure the Balti-
moreans, but until an offer of exceed
ingly attractive figures was made a
week or so ago he remained adamant.
AS coach of the a. E. F. boxers in
France and of the Olympic team in
1920 Webb has been considered one
of the best boxing instructors in the.
country. Since he took charge of the
Middies about four years ago the
Navy has achieved prominent place
in the college boxing world and his
team has never lost match.
Ever since he took charge of the
29th Division fighters at Camp An
niston at the outbreak of the war
Webb's interest has been centered in
service sports. Consequently it is
thought that it will Re difficult to
lure him away from his first love.

PROPERTY OWNED
BY WALTER H. HART

Fire OF undetermined origin, that
for time looked as though Il would
seriously menace Eastport. a thickIy
settled suburban section of Annapo-
lis, broke out at 1880 this morn
ing, and but for the assistance given
fy the volunteer firemen of the three
companies OF the city, many build
ings would have fallen prey to the
flames.

ed and third, occupied by the family
OF Louis Hopkins, a timer, was bad
ly scorched. The property was own
Ell by Walter II. Hart, large real
estate owner in. the village, and the
loss, estimated at $4,000 is practically
all covered by insurance.
Origin Is Uncertain
Persons crossing the Spa creek
bridge were first TO discover the
alarm. Some say that the flames
started from the outside, in dry grass.
and others claim that they originated
in the unoccupied building. The
blaze gained great headway before the
Eastport firemen reached the scene.
Meanwhile, assistance was asked OF
the city firemen, and a chemical truck
OF the. Rescue Hose Company was
dispatched across the way The fire.
men OF the village, who also have
a chemical truck, and those from the
city, did splendid work through the
use of chemicals in holding the flames
in check until the engine of the In
dependent Fire Company of the city,
arrived on the scene, and pumping
water from Spa Greek. soon had two
high pressure streams playing into
the mass of flaming embers.
Direction OF Wind, Blessing
The burned buildings were situat-
ed at the northwest end OF First
street and near the home property
of Mr.. Hart. The fact that they were
near the bank of the creek, and sep
arated by 20 or more feet, together
with the fact that the high wind was
from the southerly direction, un-
doubtedly prevented a serious con-
fiagration. Had the wind been from
the northwest quarter, the flames
would have wiped buildings out right
and left in their path.

FROM the quaint old-fashioned
= Euphemia, 50 rarely heard in these
days, comes the popular name of Ellie.
1t is not diminutive, as Is generally
supposed, but full.fedged name with
an interesting history. Originally
EuphemIa meant both fair speech and
abstinence from the reverse, so that
from an ironical standpoint II signifed
silence, and was applied 10 the still
ness that prevailed during religious
rites.
The first Euphemla who gave vogue
to the name was virgin martyr OF
Bithynia, whose legend of constancy
made her popular in both the East
and the West. Russia called her
Jevfimija; she was Jena In Servia,
and Bema and Bimme in other lands.
Scotland however, adopted the name
and straightway called her Eiie.
Phomie was also Scottish but did not
attain the popularity Of the former.
However. neither Efie nor Phomie,
which have been prevalent since those
early times, can ever be forgotten be-
cause of the finest works of Sir Walter
Scott. Heroines Of fiction, written by
the masters of literature, find their
names as immortalized as heroines OF

history and Eftie is no exception to this
general rule.
1t was once thought that the Scot.
tish name Euphame was one of the
Greek names brought from Hungary
by Queen Margaret. Others believed
that 1t came from the Kettle Aoiffe
which has fostered so many of
our present-day feminine names. In.
deed, those so inclined may take their
choice Of possible sources, though gen.
eral credence is more often given to
the first derivation, since it concerns
rellgieuse and in olden days. 1t would
seem that being martyred was all that
was needed to perpetuate ones name
through the centuries.
In the Scottish Highlands. Efiie is
called Oighrlgh, name which seems
to have no derivation whatever. The
Church of Santa Eufemia at Rome
gives title to cardinal and through It
the name has spread in popularity in
Italy and France.
Etie's stone Is the topaz, which has
the power of the sun to put to flight
all evil and dark forebodings, but it
must be set In gold to accomplish its
purpose. 1t promises that no harm
shall befall its wearer. Tuesday is
her lucky day; 3 her lucky number, and
the chrysanthemum is her flower.
