NEW LAW OF “DRYS”
Superintendent George W. Crabbe
af the Anti-Soloon League, called
upon Governor-elect Ritchie yesterday
and presented a copy of the bill the
league will ask the Legislature to en
act into l:w. This measure, as has
been stated, simply gives to the State
Courts jurisdiction where the prohibi
tion law has been violated. It carries
with it. however, all of the promises
and penalties included in the Volstead
act. The object "is to make the State a
party to the enforcement of the Feder
al la w.
After glancing through the measure.
Mr Ritchie stated that he would state
his position with reference to it when
it eame before him for consideration.
Wealth doesnd always bring happi
ness. A fool and his money are soon

SUNDAY PROGRAM FOR
COMIYiUNITY SERVICE
_
Artists Engaged To Present .En
tertainment Of Readings
And Music
AT REPUBLIC THEATRE
With the view of demonstrating to I
lie citizens of Annapolis the benefit
which may 1 e reaped from a program
of Community Service. J. R. Roland,
secretary of the Annapolis branch. I
has arranged a most interesting card j
of musical and reading numbers to I
be presented at the Republic Thea-1
tre next Sunday afternoon.
Invitations to the general public
have been mailed this week. A copy
of the invitation follows:
“I wish to call your attention to a j
most interesting concert which has
t een arranged under the auspices of j
the Committee on Lectures and En- j
tertainments for next Sunday after- j
noon, January 11, at 3 o’clock at the-
Republic Theatre.
“We have been fortunate in secur
ing Mrs. R. E. Meyer, soprano; Mrs.
Helen Knok Bornshien, dramatic
reader, and Helen Broemer, ’cellist,
of Baltimore. These people are all
artists who will give us something
inspiring and wholesome as well as
entertaining.
"There will be also a 10-minute
talk by Capt. W. T. Cluverius, and a
short address 1 y Dr. H. W. Burgan.
“Will you not invite your friends to *
attend this meeting?
“We hope through the music and 1
adresses to impress the people with!
•lie value of a program of community
service.
"Yours sincerely,
“J. R ROLAND."
The recent change that has been
made in the Community Service has
changed it from a war service or
ganization to one for the general
public, and in many parts of the
country the change has resulted in a
tremendous increase in the popuuar
ity of the club rooms and amuse
ments offered ly the 1 ody. It is hop
ied by the officials of the Annapolis
branch that the service may be made
of a very definite and permanent bene
fit, and to this end they are putting
forward__auil possible effort to impress
the public with the importance of the
work.

AT THE THEATRES
vr Tin: republic tonight
When Pendleton Gray met Mavis
Hawn, the Kentucky mountain girl, he
I was constrained to* scoff at her. He

As Mavis Hawn, Miss Bickford take,
the role of a girl whose father ha
‘ been killed by au unidentified inoun

the marriage for she believes tbat th<
I suitor merely wants to wed her mothei
i in order to get possesion of valuable
I coal lands owned by the Hawns.
Oddly, Mavis is in love with the son
of the widower who is courting hei
mother. Both Mavis and young Ja3or-
Honeycutt are displeased with the lift
! they have been leading and they plat
to marry when they are of sufficient
age. Other influences enter their lives j
however, and they separate in' going to j
different schools.
They return to their mountain
homes in time to find that their par
ent’s marriag-ejias been a terrible mis- .
take. Widow Hawn is frail and weak j
under the cruel treatment of the rough
L-teve Honeycutt and she sorely re
grets the marriage. Mavi3 and Jason

parents to hear the Widow Hawn
threaten to disclose the fact that Steve
Honeycutt killed Mavis’ father.
Enraged the elder Honeycutt make; j
