HALT RUBBER TRAFFIC
Government Agents Discover Clever
Ruse to Eyade u. S. Laws.

The smuggling Of dental rubber to
Germany has finally been stopped-at
least the agents of the Department Of
Justice think so.
Most people may not know II, but
American dentists have had the very
cream Of the dental business in the
large German cities. and the French
is found in the fact that that while
the Germans and French make won
derful physician and surgeons, they
are abominab,e dentists.
In Berlin, for example, there was q
colony Of about fifteen American dem
lists. AS rule these men charged
extravagant prices and maintained
pretentious establishments. They had
practically no competition.
When the war came on they found
their supplies OF dental rubber cut on.
The government Communicated nearly
all the rubber in the country, and the
British blockade ships seized rubber in
every shape.
Then the dentists started smuggling
II through from America. The dentist
would send his wife to New York. She
would get a quantity of dental rubber
and then make bargains for its trans
pOrtatiOn with stewards, probably on
the lines between New York and Co
penhagen.
These men carried large bundles
aboard their ships at night time. At
Copenhagen the rubber was expressed
to Berlin. Letters were sent over in
the same way. Both were violations
Of United States laws.

WASHINGTON BOYS GO
TO SALEM This WEEK
twenty-five from Boys Working
Reserve Will Aid N. ]. Factory.

L. W. DeGast. registration Of
fcer for the local chapter of the
Boys Working Reserve, announced
yesterday that the first contingent
Of local boy volunteers for factory
work would leave the city some
time this week. This delegation
will be employed by a factory in
Salem, N. j.. where fruit jars are
manufactured.
The party will consist of twenty
FIVE boys. the majority OF whom
will probably be recruited from the
Colored high schools. During their
time OF service the lads will be paid
S1.50 per day and will have several
means of recreation at their dis
posaL. The owner of the factory
has assured the members of the
Washington committee that a mo-
tor boat will be among the access
sories at the disposal of the boys
after working hours.
Fifty local boys have already
registered with Mr.. DeGast to aid
in solving the country's labor prob
lem. All of them are between the
ages of 16 and 81. The majority
of these will probably aid in the
harvest work on nearby farfs.
Already numbers of farmers who
are located near this city have ap-
piled to the committee for boy
labor at harvest time. The COM
mittee is now occupied in invent
ing ways of entertaining the boys
who register for this service.

KAISER IS TARGET
AT SUMMER RESORT
Pastime Is Slightly Changed at
Chesapeake Beach.

Knock the Kaiser's Teeth Out and
Get a Five-cent segarw
This Is one Of the new cries you
hear at Chesapeake Beach this year,
and anyone who has ever been along
a midway doesn't have to be told
what the game Is.
But for the benefit of strangers-our
English, French. italian and Belgian
allies in particular-it should be ex-
planned.
One Of our best American pastimes
has been to find a hardy colored man,
in great financial distress, and have
him poke his head through q small
hole in a canvas curtain. For cents
one may obtain the hse Of three base
balls, and the idea is to hit the col
ored man In the eye.
It is the colored mans play, Of
course, to disconcert his assailant
and thus spoil his aim. But IL the
thrower strikes his target in the eye
he gets a scent cigar.
Proprietors Of amusement places
are always on the alert for variations
of this pastime, and so at Chesapeake
Beach patrons can have the pleasure
of knocking out the Kaiser's teeth.
Needy colored men have lost a favor
ite means OF picking up easy money.

Until Further Orders. Other Activii-
ties Will Cease.

From sunrise till sunset, until
further notice, every Boy Scout in

bit for his country in the big corn

ders that From June 1S until further

organization will Cease-with the ex-
ception Of clearing the cultivated

gan of Every Scout Feed a Soldier"
