ANNAPOLIS SHIVERING
TODAY; MUCH COLDER
TON|GHT'S FORECAST

Just when Annapolitans were wall
ing their loudest about the unsea-
sonable weather prevalent this year
and the innumerable attacks of grip,
influenza and neuralgia. resulting
therefrom, along comes the clearest.
coldest and brightest day that has
been granted the city since last
March.
The temperature, which had fallen
to twenty degrees this morning, is
still quite low and prophecy that
1t may reach as low as sixteen to-
night. is made 10y today's report of
the Weather Bureau.
In spite of the ccaI shortage. which
continues to make the heating prob
lem the first consideration of the
city's inhabitants. and which keeps
long lines of busy householders stand
ing patiently before the windows of
the various coal dealers, forgetful of
their other duties in the hope OF OBJ
tanning q half-ton of the valuable fuel,
there are many who are glad to see
the present wave of clear and cold
weather Not only because it is more
seasonable, but also because the un-
parallelled rains of the past two
months and the almost invarial ly
cloudy and damp weather. have prov
ed anything but wholesome and
healthy and the city is in the throes
of an epidemic Of colds, sore throats,
rheumatism and all kindred ills. Lo-
cal druggists report that the past two
months have seen one of the heaviest
seasons in Annapolis history, the de-
mand for all sorts of cold and cough
remedies being unprecedentedly large.
The respite from damp and gloomy
weather, however. may not be of long
duration, as the Bureau also sends a
warning that
Thursday will he partly cloudy and
warmer"

PENN WEEKLY SCORES
NAVY COURT PLAYERS

PHILADELPHIA. PA. Jan. IT,
THE Pennsylvania" student daily at
the university. in an editorial yester-
day severely scores the Naval Acad-
envy coach for taking his team off the
floor in the game against the Red and
Blue last Saturday.
Labelling its editorial sportsman
ship the student publication says:
Athletic competition between col
leges stands for naught if such COM
petition does not promote better
feeling and understanding of sports
manship than existed previously An
example of this was brought home
when our basketball team met the
Navy last Saturday night
Throughout the contest the deci-
sions of the referee proved distaste-
full TO the middies and their coaches.
The matter came to head when the
referee made decision. through an
error. that he corrected Immediately
upon explanation from the Pennsyl-
vania captain and his teammates.
The action of the Navy men at this
point made a decidedly bad impress
sion on those present. Instead of
quietly conferring with the arbiter.
the middies' coach ordered his team
from the floor.
Subsequent events made it clear
the men from Annapolis viewed the
contest in a manner. far from that
! taken by sportsmen."

D|GGERS OF MAN|NOSE
OUT; EXTREMELY LOW
TIDE FOLLOWS GALE

Digging maninose and picking up
oysters from bottoms of the river and
bay shore afforded a pleasurable pas
time for many persons living along
the waterfront of the city and county
today This was made possible by the
extremely low tide resulting from the
strong northwest winds that have pre-
vailed for nearly 4S hours.
The unusual conditions existing
from the blow. however, have not
been without some setback. This ap-
plies at least to a number of mer-
chants of the city who were expecting
shipments of freight by steamer of the
Colchester Company. Luther Fran
els, local agent for the Tolchester
Company, stated today that h e
steamer Annapolis was prevented
from making her regular Wednesday
run from Baltimore to this city and
the lower river landings because of
the low tide. The tide is the lowest
that has prevailed in these parts for
many years, according to Mr.. Francis.

In this connection. letter has been
received from DR.. William c. Stone,
Deputy State Health officer, which
follows:
Improving County's Rating
THE need and value of general nur-
sing is now widely recognized. We
have learned that nursing Service is
very expensive, and apt to be unsatis-
factory, If the area TO be covered is
large and sparseiy populated There
is in Anne Arundel county plenty of
room for improvement and extension
of Public Health Nursing Service. The
rating of Anne Arundel county, as
compared with most of the counties,
can be greatly improved by strength
ening the Nursing Service in the Sec
ond, Third and Fourth Election Dis
tricts. A great deal of the sickness
in this area can be eliminated.
Sick nursing is very expensive.
The prevention of sickness not very
expensive To cut down the duration
of sickness is not difficult. 1t is gen.
orally possible to have fewer people
sick, and have fewer days of sickness.
To score three ways against sickness
is the job of a public health nurse.
and any nurse who can do it is worth
her salary two or three times over.
you are cordially invited to attend
Tuesdays meeting. A good many
people who may be interested in this
project may be inclined to leave it to
others to get the work started. If too
many do this the work will never be
started"

Last Home Is Empty

Duxbury, Mass.-The old home Of
John Alden at Plymouth Is empty. It
is said this is the first time since its
erection in 1868 that the house has not
sheltered some of the Alden family.
The house Is not the new habita-

After Alden moved across the bay
still within sight of the homes of his
comrades of 1920, he built house on
site a few hundred yards south OF
the present dwelling, and about thirty
years after his marriage he erected
the one now standing, probably In

PETR0GRAD POPULATION
BACK AT MILLION MARK
City Suffered Since Removal of
Capital to Moscow.

! Petrograd.-Petrograd has come hDck
to the million population class re-
cent police census showed the city has
100000 in 1920
Although still almost dead industri-
ally in comparison with it's wartime
status, Petrograd in general is begin
| ming to come back"
During the war days Petrograd had
more than 100000 people. After the
| bolshevik revolution the capital was
moved to Moscow and thousands OF
| government employees and factory
workmen were evacuated.
The lean and hungry years of the
! revolution brought about further de-
crease in the population, many OF the
people going to the country districts
where food was cheaper and more
| plentiful.
| Two years ago PetrOgrad merited
| the predictions Of foreign observers
| that it would be a city as dead as
Pompeii. But the last year has
brought a tremendous change. Fac
tories are being reorened, the port Is
in operation, and thousands of persons
are returning to the city.
Many of them have come from Mos
COW, which is so OvercrOwded with it's
100000 people in a city built for
100000, that it is almost impossible
to find a place to sleep. In Moscow
one cannot get a spacious apartment
for love or money; in PetrOgrad there
are many Of them. And so hundreds
Of Moscow business men, whose work
keeps them In the capital, have sent
their families to Petrograd where they
can live comfortably.
While it does not seem probable
that there is any immediate chance
Of the bolshevik government moving
the capital back to Petrograd, never
theless some institutions which help
to nvercrowd Moscow are to be moved
TO Petrograd this summer. This will
further increase the population. Bust
ness conditions in PetrOgrad, however,
do not seem as bright as they were
last summer.
Scores of shops closed during the
winter because of high taxation, and
the broad Nevslky Prospect presents
panorama of closed and suffered
stores. 1t is expected that port oper-
ations in the summer will bring about
an improvement in business.
