bureau has been selected, and in few
weeks everything will be running
smoothly.
THIS week the women are going
about having a wonderful time
telling the men that a certain gentle
man who was running for reelection
to the school board, with the munich
pal machine backing Inn, "just didn't
have chance" for they defeated him
badly in a recent election.
Listen, we Southern women know
something about political tactics" a
worker for the Teachers Union gently
insisted, as she discussed the cause of
their victory. That gentleman had
decided to ride to glory by furthering
q bill prohibiting married women to
work for the city. Well, We decided
to gang up on him this Winter when
he proposed that bill before the coun-
Gil. And this Is what we did. We
learned that Mr.. - is at home every

sembled in the same State house, at
the suggestion Of Gen. Washington.
A resolution. proposed by Alexander
Hamilton, suggesting further meet
ing of representatives of the States,
was passed, and from that meeting
came the adoption of the Federal
Constitution in 1877.
Across the hall from the old Senate
Chamber Is a museum Of Maryland
mineral products, of which there is a
much wider variety than is generally
known, and the flag room. in which
are stored flags of Maryland troops
carried in every war IN which this
country has engaged, including those
of both sides in the War Between the
States.
The gem of the collection, perhaps
relic Of surprising interest is "Old
Glory" which was carried in battles
of both the Revolutionary War and
the War of 1912, and is one of the
first national banners to be carried by
troops. 1t was the flag of the Sd
Maryland Cavalry in the Battle Of
Cowpens, January II, 1881, and of
the 9th Regiment of Maryland
Militia in the Battle of North Point,
September 14-15, 1914.
Much the oldest building Of the
State group is the quaint cruciform
structure situated down the slope of

The third structure which housed a
signer Is the Chase House, on the
corner of Maryland avenue, the street
leading from the State House to the
main entrance to the Naval Academy
and King George street.
IT is Of stately proportions and the
only Colonial house in Annapolis
of three stories. It was the intention
of the owner to build wings on both
sides Of this house. but 1t was sold,
with only one wing constructed. 10

ing and may be seen upon application.
Just opposite the Chase House on
Maryland avenue is the Hammond
Harwood House, a beautiful building
of contrasting architecture to the
Chase House, and visitors by looking
on both sides of the street can gain
splendid knowledge of the types Of
Colonial architecture. 1t was built
by William Hammond, a noted An
napolis lawyer, but sold shortly after
its construction to jeremiah Townley
Chase. chief justice of Maryland. 1t
is two stories high, with wings con-
nected by corridors. 1t is of massive
interior construction with some of the
walls five feet thick.
1t is said that Mr. Hammond, who
built the house. did SO with the idea
of taking his bride to it and making
it their home. The engagement was

This year the women of Atlanta
have had a number of major victories.
When through political situation the
Woman's Police Bureau was abolished,
Nine. Atlanta went quickly to work
through her women's division of the
Chamber of Commerce to restore
1t. Seventeen women's organizations
backed them, and, after bitter court
fight they were successful. The two
policewomen who had been discharged,
in spite of being under Civil Service,
were vindicated and a full-year back

A NNAPOIITANS are pround OF

~ emy. For 80 years they have
a been associated, the citizens of
the Maryland Capital and the train
ing center for the Nations navy lead
ers. But, as another Fall term at the
academy opens Annapolitans are con-
scious once more of a resentment that
Annapolis" to so many Americans
means only the Naval Academy.
There is more, much more, to their
city and they would have the whole
country conscious of its historic i'm
portance.
In particular, they are proud of the
city's connection with the great events
which attended the formative period
of the Nation and its struggle for in
dependence. The Annapoltan will
point to the fact that few places in
America passes so many links with
those great days in the form of historic
structures and objects.
A few of these buildings have fallen
before the march of progress, but for
the most part Annapolis has escaped
the destroying hand of the unthinking
or selfish, and it presents today
modern city in which one can easily
turn back the hands Of time and feel
oneself again a part of a community
which had its part-and an important
one-in the events which laid the
foundations of the Nation and ac-
complished its independence.
In every portion of the new-old city
are the reminders of those days. There
is the historic State House, in which
Washington resigned his commission
at the close of the Revolutionary War
and the still older building on the
same grounds in which the Council
of Safety met while the war was in
progress. There are the buildings Of
st. Johns College, third Oldest Of the
colleges of the Nation, and there are
numerous fine buildings, homes OF the
great of those days, unchanged, or
only slightly so.
THE feeling of all true Annapolitans,

Annapolis and learned to love its
many quaint reminders of the past,
that these shrines of American history
shall not be marred, has crystallized
in the formation of "the Company for
the Restoration of Colonial Annap-
oils" its prime movers being a body
Of men and women who are impressed
with the value Of what Annapolis
possesses in this line and the necessity
Of preserving it.
The company is headed by Col.
Amos w. w. Woodcock, president of
st. Johns College. At the top Of its
directorate are Gov. Harry w. Nice
of Maryland and Mrs. Nice and Rear
Admiral David Foote Sellers, super
intendent of the Naval Academy. Mrs.
Theodore w. johnson is vice presi
dent, Peter Magruder, secretary, and
State Senator Ridgely P. Melvin
treasurer and counselor.
OF the purposes Of the organization,
Col. Woodcock says: "The company
does not contemplate a complete
restoration of Colonial Annapolis,

ATLANTA, Ga.
TINE life Of the women of Atlanta
Is one Of gracious ease and
accomplishment. One hears
- so much about the background
and climate making the Southern
lady Indifferent to the call Of world
changes. Nevertheless, I find that
where the leaders have explained Is
sues and taught need for action they
have gained solidarity among the
women; that underneath sweet words
and gentle manners, the women
through all the social divisions are
firmly set upon learning and doing.
Nine. Atlanta may talk a lot. but
when it comes to civic welfare, words
and mulling around do not satisfy
her She wants the glory of action
and accomplishment. Although she
adores looking up to her chivalrous
husband, telling him childishly, Now
see what we girls can do when we set
our heart to it," inwardly she is bound
to win at any price.

and find out what he was going to do
about that bill. OF course. we told
him We were sorry to disturb him
and apologized and thanked him."
she drawled mischievously, "and we
sure got in his hair. Now we have
defeated him, and it will be a long
time before any other man will worry
about the married women working"
Again, when the ladies' society met
on the sun terrace, while the punch
went round and crunchy waters were
fast being consumed, the ladies gath
cred to inform me Of two recent VIC
tories of the League Of Women Voters.
First, they proudly show me last Sun
days News, which had come out with
a supplement sheet called Facts. 1t
had been compiled by the league,
which had sent out questionnaires to
each candidate. And now a perusal
of this supplement shows the voter
how the candidate stands on specific
issues, and thereby serves as a guide
to the voter.
The other victory was the League
Of Women Voters securing the passage
of the late primary bill. 1t requires
that primaries must be held between
September l and October 81, instead
of any time the machine" thought
would be timely for pushing a candi-
date through.
One of the most outstanding prof.
ects that the women of Georgia have
maintained is the Tallulah Falls In
dustrial School. Beginning in 1909
with one small building, acres of
land and 81 pupils, they have grown
until now they have 500 acres and IL
fine buildings, and 450 mountain chill
dren are being taught to help them
selves and their people. This school
Is owned by the Georgia Federation
of Womens Clubs. The Atlanta wom-
an is most interested in this project,
for she understands the problem Of
her mountain people and is anxious
to aid them in helping themselves.
For some day they hope to have a
more enlightened people in the him
terland.
A TLANTA bellies now have a new
project about which they are all .
stirred up. Mrs. Adamson, head Of
the Women's Division, is sure that
with its success the old Atlanta spirit
will be revived. In a broad Southern
drawl, she explained: "You know peo-
pie used to laugh at us here and call
Atlantans the greatest boosters in the
world. Well, we are going to begin
too boost our city again and we want
them to laugh, for the women here
have decided that we are not getting
the tourist trade we should. The
men are going to let us do the job and 9
We are going after that trade. We are
going to have big signs put up all
along the road and at all the ferries
and terminals, telling the people how
wonderful Atlanta is. We will invite. g.
the tourist to drive through Middle
Georgia instead of going by the other
routes and missing Georgia" =
When I asked some Of the women,
how they can plan to entice so many
tourists here when the safety lays,
are so bad and traffic regulations ass
most nil, they admitted the situatioA'
was shameful. 1T is in the mems
hands, you know, and so far they

the hill in northeast direction from
the main State building. It was built
about 1894, and it was the meeting
place of the Governors Council and
also the Office of the Colonial
treasurer.
North of the State House grounds
and one block away are the grounds
and buildings of st. Johns College,
antedated as a seat of education in
this country only by Harvard and
William and Mary. Founded as King

broken. however, and he never mar
ried, selling the house shortly. The
building is now owned by St. Johns
College, and it is proposed to house a
Colonial museum in it.
A little more than a block away, on
Hanover street, facing the Naval
Academy. is the Peggy Stewart house,
built in 1868, and occupied by that
Anthony Stewart, who with his own
hand, but under the compulsion of
the patriots Of the vicinity, set fire

1789 and graduated its first class, of
two members, in 1893.
Mcdowell Hall, the central building
Of the group, which occupies the beau
tiful campus facing on College avenue,
and Humphrey Hall, dormitory, to
its west, come down from Colonial
days, and Pinkney Hall, to the east
Of Mcdowell Hall, is Of somewhat
later construction.
On the northeastern portion of st.
Johns campus stands the old Liberty
Tree, one of the notable historic trees
of America. 1t is noble tulip poplar,
estimated to be 600 years old, more
than $50 feet in height and IS feet
in circumference at the base. Each
year it puts on fine foliage Of leaves
and buds.
THE tree first appears in history
when, in 1852, then a notable
landmark on account Of it's size and
age. a treaty between the settlers
and the Susquehannock Indians was
signed under its branches. As
semblies of patriots met under it prior
to and during the Revolutionary War
and Lafayette was entertained there
by the citizens of Annapolis in 1925.
The tree has had it vicissitudes. In
1910, some boys playing under it with
gunpowder, set fire to 1t and it was
believed that it had been killed. Next
year, however, the tree which had been
languishing, put out finer foliage
than ever. The fire merely had
destroyed worms which threatened its
life. Some 80 years ago the tree was
scientifically treated, q large hollow
and numerous small ones being filed
with concrete, and it is now in splendid
condition.
Annapolis Is probably the only place
in the country in which the homes Of
three signers Of the Declaration Of
Independence are still standing. The
buildings were the homes Of Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, William Paca
and Samuel Chase.
The Carroll home Is now a part Of
the group Of buildings attached to
st. Mary's Catholic Church, ON Duke
of Gloucester street. It is the structure
which sets at an angle to the main
building of the church group and faces
Spa Greek and may be seen readily as
one crosses the bridge from Eastport
to Annapolis, a route taken by many
Washingtonians as they return from
visits to Bay Ridge, Arundel-on-the-
Bay and other places on the Chesa-
peake Bay.
The building was one of the several
erected by members Of the Carroll

family, to which also belonged Bishop
John Carroll, the founder of George
town University, and in it Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, member of the
First Continental Congress, signer of
the Declaration of Independence,
great patriot and great churchman,
was born. 1t was begun in 1882 In
it was a private chapel where services
were held when Catholic worship was
forbidden.
The Paca House was built in 1780 by
Evening star., 1936-09-13

Thomas Jennings, and later became
the property Of the Paca family, to
which William Paca, another signer
belonged. Restored and with its
Colonial features preserved, it now
forms the front part Of Carvel Hail
Hotel on Prince George street.

but it does intend to take all possible
steps to preserve in Annapolis those
things which mark its connection
with its past.
1T proposes first of all to use every
means in its power to prevent the
destruction or DETACHMENT of any
thing Of historic interest. It will try
in some cases to obtain some Of these
historic shrines or induce the State
to buy them, so that they may be
preserved. 1t is interested, indeed,
in anything which will hand down to
other generations all things of historic
interest. It would like to establish
museum of things of such interest
in one Of these historic buildings.
Just now the company is inter-
ested in the preparation of an historic
map of Annapolis. 1t will be map
which will show the location of all
points of historic interest, so that
they can be located readily in the
modern city"
The title Of "the Company for the
Restoration of Colonial Annapolis"
therefore, goes little further than
the ideas which its members have in
mind. 1t does not mean to interfere
in any way with the modern city of
Annapolis, but it does intend that
what Annapolis has Of such large
and unique historic importance shall
be preserved.
The historic landmarks of Annapolis
center in the State House, just as its
towering wooden dome rises above
an eminence from which the streets
of the city radiate. The State House
is the third capitol of Maryland built
upon that spot and by no means Of
the period represented by many other
structures, but it Is old enough to
have been the scene of great events.
THE foundation for the present
State House was laid by Gov. Eden,
on March 20, 1772. and the next year a
copper roof was put in place. 1t was
blown of two years later and re-
placed, The dome. which is said to
be the largest wooden dome in the
world and built without the use Of
nails of any kind, was not erected
until after the Revolutionary War.
In the old Senate chamber Of the
State house, now restored to its origi-
nal state, Washington resigned his
commission at the close of the Revo-
lutionary War. In 1874 the Congress
of the United States met here and
ratified the treaty of peace with Great
Britain. In 1885 q convention as
