WASHINGTON’S STATUE,
WEATHER BEATEN;TO
UNDERGO REPAIRS
The elements have worn more than
100 holes in the bronze statue of
George Washington at Pennsylvania
and New Hampshire avenues, Wash
ington. The statue was shipped yes
terday to Brooklyn, where it will be
repaired.
This is the first statue in the Na
tional Capital to show the effects of
exposure and the first to be taken
down bodily and sent away for re
furnishing.
The holes range from the size of a
match head to that of an average
thumb nail. Many holes are found in
the head and neck of the horse on
which the Btatue is mounted. Appre
hension was felt that the statue might
fall.
The statue is the work of Clark
Mills. It was cast in Paris and un
' veiled in 1860, President Buchanan
and other officials of the government

SHOW EXCLUSIVE MODES

The Fashion, one of the most ex
clusive ladies' wearing apparel shops
of Annapolis, held its Spring and
Summer opening yesterday and today.
The opening was attended by an un
usually large patronage and at times,
the store was crowded.
There is a wonderful display for
milady, with a gratifying latitude for
each individual fancy, and such an
abundant assortment to choose from,
that one was tempted to get some
thing new for Easter. There is a.won
deful fascination in the new color
ings. new lines and the new trim
mings.
A beautiful display of Spring dress
es, some with gay sashes, insets of
Egyptian coloring, new necklines,
plaited panels, flowing sleeves,
berthas, panels, draperies, every note
to give beauty and distinction to the
wearer. The note of Paris prevades
in this showing of all that is smart
and new for Spring, in the new shades
of biege, apple green, mountain haze,
gray, French blue, navy, brown and
black. Paris sought Egypt for their
style motifs, and the decorative splen
dor of oriental coloring is stressed
in quite a few of the models on dis
play.
“Verite* Suits Charm
The “Verite” suits were greatly ad
mired for their beauty, designing
and adornment which are so clever,
and once one wears a Verite model,
one will always want a suit of this
superb workmanship. Every Verite
suit is a Parisian model, genuinely
stunning. Leon Strauss has the sole

BAD WEATHER HAMPERS
WORK ON DAVY’S NEW
BASEBALL STADIUM
Continued bad weather has made It
improbable that the new baseball
grounds and stands at the Naval
Academy can be ready by April 1, as
hoped, but an effort will be made to
have them in shape by April 18, when
the Harvard nine plays the midship
men.
Funds for the construction < of the
new grounds and stands were pro
vided through the Naval Academy’*
shares from the receipts of the Penn
State game in Washington and the
University of Pennsylvania game in
Philadelphia last fall.
It has been decided to put twelve
more rows to the stands at the foot
ball field, Increasing its capacity by
3,500 seats. It will be completed by
the opening of the next football sea
son and paid for from the receipts of
the game against Princeton to be
played in the Baltimore stadium.
SHE DlWllll
KNOW HER DESTINATION
Heard on a prominent thorough
fare of the city today. An elderly
lady, a stranger, stopping one of
much tender years inquired: “Can
you tell me how to- get to the little
town near Annapolis?” The young
lady was much taken back for a time
and knew not what to reply. Be
fore attempting to do so, the elder
ly one continued, “I am on my way i
to visit friends and know where I
want to go, having visited there be
fore, but for the iove cf me, I have
forgotten the name of the place or
how to get to it.”
Still, the one of whom the inquiry
was made, was a bit uncertain as
to what to say. Looking inquiring
ly, the visitor resumed “But, I think
you have to cross a bridge to get
there.” That explanation might have
meant West Annapolis, but the
young woman of the city promptly
rejoined. “Oh, do you mean East
port?” “That’s the place,” added the
inquisitor,, and when told the course
to take in order to reach the village
across the Spa, she went on her way.

The first full year income return
ever filed by a President of the United
States was in the Columbus (Ohio)
internal revenue office yesterday—

year covered only nine months of his
salary.
Statisticians in the revenue office
figured Mr. Harding will pay a tax of
