Public Necessity
The Board of County CommissLon
!er in session yesterday, approved
the report of a special investigating
committee that the beds of eight
streets at Germantown, near Annapo
lis. be accepted as public streets. The
committee considered it desirable and
a public necessity that said streets be
j taken over by the county, and there
fore recommended that a deed for the
! beds be accepted.
The streets in question are:
Woodlawn avenue, from the end of
the public road; Beech avenue. Maple
avenue. Poplar avenue. Linden ave
nue. Ixicust 'avenue. Cherry Grove,
avenue and Glenn avenue, it is esti- j
mated that an expenditure of $l5O j
will cover the work necessary to be
done on these streets at this time.
The committee which investigated tiie
j matter was composed of Commission
j ers R. Wilson Carr. Weems R. Duvall
and H. P. Watts.
New Road Near Weems Creek
The board also adopted the recom
• mendations in a report of an inves
j ligating committee that a public road
be opened from a point near Weems
Creek bridge, through the lands of
Charles O. Dulin and others to River
| view avenue. It is urged that the
! highway will lea benefit to all par
j ties living in that neighborhood.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS
OF CONCERT GIVEN
FOR LIBRARY EUNO
The sum of nearly two hundred dol
lars was made for the library fund at
the concert given on Monday night.
Thanks to the kindness of Governor
Ritchie and his mother, Mrs. Albert
Ritchie, who loaned the Executive
Mansion for the event, the expenses
in connection with the affair were
very small.
The attractive programs, which
were sold by Mrs. Howell Carroll and
Miss Evelyn Sharp, helped defray the
incidental expenses. Mrs. W. O
Stevens was ably assisted by Mrs.
George Abram Moss in making the ar
! rangements for the concert. Others
who assisted were the Misses Julia
and Elizabeth Valiant, the two sub
debutante daughters of Mr. and Mrs
J. W Valiant, of Wardour. who acted
as ushers.
The financial success of any under
taking at the Executive Mansion is a
foregone conclusion, the spacious
j beauty of the rooms and the prestige
jof the gubernatorial residence being
in itself sufficient attraction to draw
a crowd. To this was added on Mon
day night an excellent program and a
hearty greeting from the Governor,
i who put aside his other engagements
j for the sake of welcoming the audi
j ence in person.

PRESIDENT CANCELS ALL
ENGAGEMENTS! HAS
ATTAC K OF GRIP
(Bv TH> Pre.(
WASHINGTON, I). C . Jan. 17.
—President Harding cancelled all
of his engagements today in or
>; der to remain in bed on account
cf an attack of grip. It was said
at the White House that the day
of rest was decided on merely ar
a precautionary measure and that
the President’s condition showed
no serious developments.
Brigadier-General Sawyer, the
White House physician, declared
that the President had a “slight
attack of grip, such as about ev
eryone else is having aroutul
town.”
The President has a little fever
intermittently such as one would
“naturally have with the grip,”
Dr. Sawyer said. He added that
if Mr. Harding had followed his
own inclinations he would have
spent today at his desk.
ANNAPOLIS SHIVERING
TODAY; MUCH COLDER
TONIGHT'S FORECAST
Just when Annapolitans were wail
ing their loudest about the unsea
sonable weather prevalent this year
and tiie innumerable attacks of grip.
Influenza and neuralgia, resulting
therefrom, along comes the clearest.;
coldest and brightest day that has
i>een granted the city since last ■
March.
The temperature, which had fallen !
to twenty degrees this morning, is
still quite low and a prophecy that
it may reach as low as sixteen to
night. is made by today’s report of
the Weather Bureau.
In spite of the coal 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 ob
taining a half-ton of the valuable fuel,
there are many who are glad to see
the present wave of dear and cold
weather. Not only because it is more
seasonable, but also because the uti
parallelled rains of the past two
months and the almost invarial ly
cloudy and damp w eather, have prov
ed anything but wholesome and
healthy and the city is in the throes
of an epidemic cf 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 be partly cloudy and
warmer."

PENN WEEKLY SCORES
nPUHEHS
PHILADELPHIA, PA.. Jan. 17.
“The Pennsylvanian,” student daily at
the university, in an editorial yester
day severely scores thq Naval Acad
emy 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
; stands fur naught if such com
petition does not promote a l*etter
i feeling and understanding of sports
r mansliip than existed previously. An
; example of this was brought home
. when our basketball team met the
. Navy last Saturday night.
*i “Throughout the contest tfce deci
jiskms of the referee proved distaste
ful to the middies and their coaches.
The matter came to a head when the
; referee made a 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
s point made a decidedly had impres
sion on those present. Instead of
t quietly conferring with the arbiter.
-, the middies’ coach ordered his team
• from the floor.
“Subsequent events made it clear
ljthe men from Annapoiis viewed the
c contest in a manner, far from that
I taken by sportsmen.”
TO DISCUSS NURSE I
i SERVICE 111 COUNTY
Meeting For That Purpose Will
Be Held In Annapolis
Next Tuesday
Next Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock,
there will be a meeting held in the
Board of Education Building. Annapo
j lis, for the purpose of discussing meth
i ods of improvement and extension of
the Public Health Nursing Service iu
' Anne Arundel county, ami every one
is invited to attend the session.
In this connection, a letter has been
received from Dr. William C. Stone,
Deputy State Health Officer, which;
follows:
Improving County’s Rating
j “The need and value of general nur
sing is now widely recognized. We
have learned that nursing Service is'
very expensive, and apj to be unsatis \
factory, if the area to t>e covered is J
large and sparsely populated. There j
is in Anne Arundel county plenty of
! room for improvement and extension j
! of Public Health Nursing Service. The
rating of Anne Arundel county, as |
compared with most *of the counties, j
can be greatly improved by strength- 1 ,
ening the Nursing Service in the Sec-!
ond, Third and Fourth Election Dis- j
tricts. A great deal of the sickness |
in this area can be eliminated.
“Sick nursing is very expensive. \
j The prevention of sickness not very j
j expensive. To cut down the duration !
jof sickness is not difficult. It is gen
| orally possible to have fewer people
sick, and have fewer days of sickness.
To score three ways against sickness j
is the job of a public health nurse. J
; and any nurse who can do it is worth J
her salary two or three times over.
“You are cordially invited to attend !
I Tuesday’s meeting. A good many j
' people who may be interested in this;
j 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."
MM PAID
ID HOLDERS Of WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS, 1918
More than $16,000,000 has been paid
by the Federal Resreve Bank of Rich
mond to the owners of War Savings
■ Stamps, series 1918. since January 1.
and more than $1,000,000 has been ex
changed for the new Treasury Sav
ings Certificates, series 1923. Many
‘ millions more will probably be re
| deemed or exchanged through the .
regular postoffice channels within the j
I next few w eeks. Exchanges of ma- J
j tured War Savings Stamps for the
new certificates may still be made, as
j of current date.
The local postmaster cautions all j
I who receive such funds to beware of
all efforts of unscrupulous promoters*;
to induce them to use the proceeds of '
i their War Savings Stamps to buy
■ ! questionable stocks or invest in high- j
i i ly speculative ventures.
■ j The postmaster stronlv recoin
; mends the opening of a Postal Sav
ings account or the re-investment of
such funds for another five years in
Treasury Savings Certificates, which
k. yield per cent, interest per an-
I num,, compounded semi-annually, if
’ held to maturity, or may be cashed at
any time at about 3 per simple
interest per annum.
These certificates are perhaps the
I only securities in the world which are
sold with an absolute guarantee as to
‘ their worth during the period for
I which they are issued. They are al
ways worth more tran they cost and
no other security offered can give a
stronger guarantee of safety of prin
'cipal and certainty of interest. Each
■: certificate is registered against loss
r j or theft.
Arrangements for purchase may he
1 made through the postoffice.

! FELLOW CLUBMEN BID |
ADIEU AND GODSPEED
TO COM. B. L. HOWARD
Last niglit was a gala occasion at
the Annapolitan Club when the mem
bers turned out in full force in honbr
of their fellow member. Commander
Douglas L. Howard, who will leave
Annapolis on Friday to take up his
new duties as navigation officer of the
battleship Texas of the United States
fleet.
A happy social session was spent
during which addresses were made by
several of the club members and ap
propriate responses by Commander
Howard. President John M. Green, of
I the club, was master of ceremonies.
A special repast was prepared under
the direction of a committee headed
by Harry Price, chairman, at the con
clusion of which adieus were said and
all joined in wishing the popular
guest of honor God speed and an
{ early return to his home town. Sixty
[members of the club were present, the
| largest number that has marked a
gathering in recent years.
DIGGERS OF MANINOSE
OUT; EXTREMELY LOW
DDE FOLLOWS GALE
Digging maninose and picking up :
oysters from bottoms of the river and
i bay shore afforded a pleasurable pas
l time for many persons living along
the waterfront of the city and county
; today. This was made possible by the
J extremely low tide resulting from the j
j strong northwest winds that have pre
| vailed for nearly 48 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- I
chants of the city who were expecting j
shipments of freight by steamer of the
Tolchester Company. Luther Fran
cis, local agent for the Tolchestor
Company, stated today that the
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.
