Dr. Samuel returns from his auto tour, minus a few tires, but plus i?n.we(I ,f ,n!rsy and readiness for work. The coming Greater Palais Royal will be associated with a larger and better Optical Department -dui no better expert than Dr. Samuel can be desired. See him now oerore everyone returns to town and overwhelms him with work. Poultry Display Promises to Be Large Aeroplane to Be Seen. EOUIPWENTOFWAR ROGKVLL I ' mn ml m BEING HIED AD HE SHOW OPENS TOMORROW SUCCESS OF CAMP PLEASES. OFFICERS Believe, However, Period of struction Should Be Extended. In- Spread out on the Monument grounds today are hundreds of brown tents brought buck by the District National Guard from Camp Ordway, near Frederick, Md., yesterday. The tents are the officers' wall tents, the hospital tents and a few of the mess tents, but altogether -represent less than one-third of the canvas used dur ing: the encampment. Over two-thirds of the canvas was rolled up Friday Vhen It was dry, so it did not have to be opened today. That which was taken down wet Was hauled to the Monument grounds as soon as it was unloaded from the cars at the Ecklngton freight station Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. It looked as though Monday was wash day for warriors as well as house keepers, because the men were busy spreading the damp cloth on the grass as fast as it was delivered. The ques tion of drying blankets will be left to the Individual man, each one hav ing to care for his personal equip ment.' Inspections will be made to see that he does not shirk. Will Inspect Rifles. Lieut. John Doyle Carmody has been ordered to inspect every rifle carried to camp by the guardsmen. This will be a task of many days. The damp weather experienced during the last days of the camp rusted, the barrels of all the rifles, and makes much cleaning necessary. At the close of the "war" yesterday. Brig. Gen. George H. Harries and his staff officers, including colonels, majors, and captains, showed that they could be "real soldleis" like the humblest pri vate instead of riding on prancing feteeds to their waiting Pullman car, they adopted that primitive method of locomotion walking. With their sabers drawn, they hiked through mud and water from Camp Ordway to the Fred erick station, a distance of tnree miles, but all of them showed they were not used to such strenuous exercise in warm weather. Lieut. Col. Samuel E. Smiley and Major F J. Wheaton looted as though they had Just emerged from the steam room of a Turkish bath when they boarded the" train. Gent-rat Harries, who led the squad of officers, had a truly "radiant" face. It was so red that there was little contrast between his face and the red silk handkerchief he wore about his neck. Storing Impedimenta. At all the armories today the work of storing the impedimenta is progressing. It will be several days before everything is replaced. Hundreds of men arose this morn ing after their first good sleep in ten days, and many of them were glad they did not have to go to work un til 9 o'clock instead of 5:15. Sleeping, or attempting to sleep, on cots and on the ground at the camp was some thing not thoroughly enjoyed by all. The long hikes, the late liberties and the early risings were hard combina tions for Morpheus to fight. General Harries and the other of ficers were well pleased with the camp, but all are of the opinion that an encampment should not be for a shorter time than fourteen days. It took nearly a week for the men to become acclimated and it was only during the last few days that real re sults began to be seen. Funeral-Services for O. H. P. Clark Tomorrow ROCKVILLE.

EF E, HIES WILL Six Hundred Academy Boys to Spread Over Country on Shore Leave. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Aug. 28. Steam lng up the Chesapeake Bay today three United States battleships, the Iowa. Indiana, and Massachusetts, are I covering the last few miles of a for- eign cruise that carried COO of Uncle Sam's embryo naval officers to Ire land, Germany, Norway, and the straits of Gibraltar The 600 embryo admirals are the midshipmen in the United States Naval Academy, who spepd the eight months' academic year in Annapolis, and during the three summer months pet practical rea experience In a lbi Dng summer cruise. The second the 600 midshipmen leave the decks of the battleships for the soil of Annapolis they will be trans formed from dignified, businesslike young navy officers into care-free, pleasure-loving young men. With the taking oft of their blue uniforms, they will shed care for one solid month. There will be a dash for the new citi zen clothes, ordered before they left for their foreign cruise In anticipation of the month's vacation allowed in Sep tember. For eleven months these 600 men have worn the uniform dictated by Uncle Sam, and not once during that time, even though on liberty, have they been allowed to pat on civilian clothes. All Restriction Drops. All restrictions that have been aa Ironclad as the battleships during the last eleven months have been removed now, and for thirty daj'3 the midship men may do what they please, go where they please, and sleep as long as they please. Within the next twenty-four hours these 600 young men, who for nearly a year have slept together, eaten to gether, worked together and played to gether, will be scattering to every State in the Union. "Home" Is the destina tion of nearly every midshipman, and the fastest trains can't run fast enough In getting them to their destination. Of .course, there are many things to tell "her" about the Lakes of KUlarney In Ireland, of "Der Bier Garten" In Germany, and of the scenery in Norway. In each of the countries visited by the Naval Academy practice squadron, the midshipmen entertained and were en tertained. Their trip covefe'S thousands of miles, and a similar cruise made 'last summer with the same three ships cost Uncle Sam the tidy little sum of 100,000 for coal alone. Qneenstown First Stop. The squadron left Annapolis June 6, and, two weeks later, was In Queens town, Ireland. From tjiere nearly every midshipman made an inland trip to kiss the Blarney stone. Kiel, eGrmany, was the next port, and from there the mid shipmen were allowed to go to Berlin. The stay there was a musical respite from duty. There were three days and as many nights of It. Morpheus was not even recognized. The visit to Bergen, Norway, was quiet. From Bergen tho three battle ships made a long, straight run south to Gibraltar, and then across the pond to Hampton Roads, Va. Atlantic Fleet Goes To Southern Waters For Annual Practice The Atlantic fleet has sailed for Tan gier Sound, off 'the Virginia capes, for the annual maneuvers at the Southern drill grounds, and will spend two weeks or more In battle practice in Southern waters.

Idaho, Maine, Missis sippi, Missouri, Virginia, Nebraska, Ohio, Washington, North Carolina, an-l the cruisers Chester, Solace, and Pan ther will engage in these maneuvers. Only a few days ago this fleet was en gaged in various evolutions and prac tices off Cape Cod. It was ordered to the South, however, for target practice and operations impossible in the Massa chusetts waters. M m i AE MONTH AS CIVIL ANS MOVING TIME NEAR, HOME SEEKERS ARE SCOURING DISTRICT Annual Stir Keeps Real Estate Men Hustling All the Time. The attention of real estate offices Is being given largely to supplying the demands of renters getting ready for the faU moving season. This activity today Is overshadowing the business of sales to a large extent, and many agents are finding difficulty in keeping a supply of rent lists, so quickly are they being taken out. The demands are for houses and apartments of all kinds. Hundreds re turning from summer absences seek new quarters for the winter, and others who for one reason or another desire a change of residence are looking over available places to live. The mot lug season ubually runs from tile 1st of September to the middle of October. The suggestion of real clutc men In the Ames building, 1110 G atitet north west, to change Its name to the lUal Estate building may fall of adoption, owing to the pride of the Ames hells In the old property which bears their name. Tho office building originally was tho homo of the Ames family .and the prop-i-rt has been In the family about a century. It was bought for M.O00 by the grandfather of the present owners.
