WAR COUNCIL PLANS
RELIEF FUND CHECK
Effort Made to Prevent Subscrip-
tons from Going Astray.

The Council of National Defense
has issued the details Of its plans for
the control Of all societies soliciting
funds for war relief, through the
State councils of defense. The State
councils are recommended to call
upon all war relief organizations to
report:
How they are organized and for
what purpose; names OF executive Of
ficers; whether regular meetings are
held and when; whether minutes of
meetings are kept, and whether reg
ular books of account are kept and
audited.
A statement in reasonable detail OF
all moneys received or expended.
From these reports the State coun-
ell is urged to prepare and publish
widely a list Of approved war relief
activities.
In making up these lists the State
councils are urged to approve no Or
CARNATIONS whose functions overlap.
Without these steps, the National
Council of Defense says that the
country's benevolent energies will be
dissipated and the fotation of govern
ment loans and legitimate charities
jeopardized.

HOURS OF Federal
WORKERS CHANGED
Secretary Red6eld Moves Up
Clock" in Various Offices.

Secretary OF Commerce Redfield yes
terday issued an order changing the
hours Of the officers and employees Of
the Department Of Commerce housed
in the Commerce Building at the cor
ner of Nineteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue northwest, as follows:
The hours OF the Bureaus Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce. Navi-
cation. Lighthouses, and the Steam
boat Inspection Service, will be from
$50 a. m, to 4 p. m, and the lunch
period from II m. to 1890 p. m, and
those of the Office of the Secretary.
including its various divisions and sec
tions, and the Bureau of Census, from
S:45 a. m. to Ais p. m. and the lunch
period from 12:45 to lis p. m. This
change will become effective January
?. 1918.
This change was made in an attempt
to assist the railroad companies in re-
lieving the congestion during the rush
hours of the morning and evening. II
having been especially noticeable that
through the lack of railroad facilities
much hardness on the part OF the en-
ployes was caused over which they had
no control.
The Department OF Commerce was
the pioneer in the movement Of chang
ing office hours. as it. in July. 1914,
changed the hours of one-half of the
employees housed I'm the Commerce
Building from a. m. to $50 p. m. to
S:5 a. m. to Ais p. m. This change
was made at that time in an attempt
to avoid traffic congestion.

HER LOSS Made GOOD,
MRS. BAKER SMILES
Gave 50 Too Much Change. but
Kindhearted Made 1t Up.

1t happened Saturday at Center
Market and illustrates that the
spirit Of peace on earth, good will
to men," is still alive.
Let Mrs. Jane Baker. colored, sc
years old. proprietor of a truck farm.
describe it She says:
Il had a truck load Of vegetables
and some turkeys to sell an ma
business was brisk. / get rid of my
stuff In no time. Come along a man
who wants one-quarter of a peck or
pertaters. i sell them to him. He
gives one of these ferdangled bills
that looks like SO bill, and he gets
his pertaters for 10 cents and change
for SO.
When I am all through I find 1
am SO short. Good Lord. went
through everywhere and then I find
that bill. 1t looks like SO, but man
it's only 81. There's my $50 profit
on my wagon Of produce gone to
nuthin'.'
In the midst of these lamentations
arrives Mrs. ]. B. Stuart Simpson. of
Chevy Chase, Md. Mrs. Simpson does
her own marketing and frequently
trades with Mrs. Baker.
She heard the story. She started

petitions for 1916. 4s were volun-
tary and 10 involuntary.
The record for the five years Isl:
1913. IS petitions; 1914. rs petitions;
1915. 50 petitions: 1916, 50 petit
tions. and for 1917, 81 petitions.
The Improvement of 1914 over
1918 was doubtless due to the PROS
perity brought to the city by the
war. Since that time there has
been q steady Improvement, except
a slight slump last year.
Since the United States declared
war against Germany and thous-
ands of new residents came to
Washington, there has been an ac-
knowledged Improvement in BUSH
ness conditions.
These figures also lead one to be-
lieve that conditions will be even
better during 1918 than they were
any year of the last seven years.
Judging from the records as they
stand today, 1t is possible that
there will hardly be more than rs
petitions In bankruptcy filed dur
ing all of 1918. by reason Of the
upward trend of business. more
money in circulation. even II high
prices do prevail. and also due to
the fact that Washington has be-
come the diplomatic and practically
the financial center of the world.

William. who appears to have the
right idea. although not a complete

But the government is not asking you
