MARYLAND SOCIETY PROMOTES HISTORY Members Have Done Much to Stimulate Interest in ‘Their State. BY MARGARET B. DOWNI Maryland's State society in the Dis- trict of Columbia was organized main. Iy through the efforts of William Tyler Page, the clerk of the Ilouse of Rey ivex, for the purpose of studying Maryland history. Social,in- tercourse naturally results from the gathering of the members to hear the pPapers or to take part in the discus: sion, but this feature is incidental and ne fundane: 1 the majority of ximi Mr. 1 made w personal canvags Marylanders in Washington, and [H led t first meeting homson Scho Mrs. .

Since coming to Congress elght years ago, Mr. Zilhman has been an active member of the State society and h: ded most substantially in maintain- ing the high standard of historical papers prepared by the members, As chairman of the District committee he also has been vigilant in having neglected historic spots identified and marked.

The retwrn of man Marylanders to their own homes, fol- lowing the war activities, caused the society to lose many members, and it | was principally due to the efforts of Miss Anne Ritchie, a cousin of the present governor, and of D. Blackistone that new members were interested and that the once-flourish- ing s saved from ex tinction. 2 stone was elected president, and with Miss Ritchie made Such a vigorons campaign that at the present time the Marylanders have re. gained all lost ground and are going forward at a pace comparable to that of any State club, One of the policies of the club has been to ask prominent citizens to ad. dress tha members on some phase of Maryland with which they e most familiar, or to give intimate details of | the section of the State from which they come. Thus former Senator France made . splendid address in 1922, giving the succinct story of the commercial and industrial progress of the State, from the day when the cur- was reckoned in pounds of to- bacco up to the present, when the port of Baltimore is counted us the busie nd most important in the Western world.

Maryland Day a Feature. Maryland Day, Ma . is the Ted- letter day in the activities, and despite the proximity to Balti: more, where a reception, quet and literary is by the in )f the State assemble, the has furnishi m. It was on March 1634, that Maryvland's written his tory begins, under the great oak at St. Marys City, where the first treaty of friendship was made with the In- dians. It was Mr. Page's idea that each year the history of Maryland be carried forward from the day of its political foundation, from paper 1o paper, to the present. In the politi meaning, several of the. national legis- lators, including Representative Lin- thicum and the late Sydne Mudd, have exblained the working of the Maryland Assembly as compared with the functions of the State Legislature and the larger field covered by Mary- landers in the Senate and House. All the meetings of this society begin with the reciting of Mr. Page's *Amer- ican Creed” and end with the singing of Randall's stirring State song, “Maryland, My Maryland.” The present officers of the society are Mr. Zihlman. president; John Ritchie, jr., first vice president; Miss Carolina V. Sudler, second vice presi- dent; Miss Virginia E. Hedd, record- ing secretary; B. Baden, cor- responding Clement W, Sheriff, treasurer, and Joseph Valen tine Morgan, historian. Miss nne Ritchie, since the renewed activity of the club in 1923, has acted as the are so enjoyable' and invariably so well attended. el BRITISH LABOR LEADE KEEPS INSTITUTE POST| Member of Royal Colonial Group Sought to Delete His Name From Kecord.

In connection both with the national children to - re. habilitate the U. S. 8. Constitution, with the recent arrival of the U. 8. 8 Constellation at the Philadel- phia Navy Yard to participate in the Sesquicentennial, the two historic ves- sels on more than one occasion have been described as “sister ships.” Many persons believe that they really are, the similarity of names appar- ently confirming the idea. Inquiry at the Bureau of Construc- tion and Repair of the Navy Depart- ment discloses the fact that they are not sister ships. They differ in meas- urements and, when on active duty, differed in armament. Both vessels were authorized by act of Congress on March 27, 1794, which fact i aiso like- 1y to lead to the helief of sisterhood. This does not necessarily follow, of course, for a_government might order a cruiser and a transport at the same time and the two might be built simul taneously. Both vessels were and arb full-rigged three-masted ships. The Constitution, “OId Tronsides,” was originally classed as a 44-gun frigate, while the Constel lation was a 36-gun frigate The Con- stitution had 1,376 tons displacement THE WRIG Bassinet Tvory enamel finish, wire spring. - $2.95 make.

The former’s specified length of keel was 145 feet and of gun deck nearly 17 feet, while the corresponding dimen sions of the latter were 136 and 163} feet. The Constitution was a little bigger in every way than her compan- fon vessel. The last forelgn vovage of the Con- atellation ended in 1893 after a trip collecting foreign exhibits for the Chi- cago world's fair. She was repaired and towed to Newport, R. I, where the following year she hecame a sta- tionary training ship for maval ap- prentices. On June 17, 1914, she was towed to Norfolk for complete restora- tion to her original condition, follow- ing which she visited Annapolis, Balti- | more and Washington for exhibition purposes. Her stay at the National Capital was from October 31 to De- cember 4, 1914, and during those weeks thousands of persons here had the inspiring experience of going over her. She was towed back to Newport in 1915 and again used as a station trip =hip until equipped for her PHil- adelphia visit. KING TO HEAR MELBA. Singer's Farewell in Opera Sched- uled Next Tuesday.
