TWO-FOOT SNOW
ON BLUE RIDGE
Roads impossible and Game
Starving as Result of
Four Days Storm

Waynesboro, Pa, March 8. - One
of the worst snow storms in this por-
ton of the Cumberland Valley in
many years began on Thursday
and has been continuous without any
lct-up. Sunday afternoon at o'clock
the snow was still falling and the pros
poets were that it would keep up until
late in the night. The snow in Way
nesboro and vicinity has reached \
depth of fourteen inches, while in the
Blue Ridge mountain section from six
teen to twenty-tour inches OF snow
has fallen. Country roads are becom-
ing impossible and running an auto
mobile is out of the question.
All kinds of game-especially rah-
bits and partridges-along with deer,
are suffering considerable from tho
scarcity of food as the result of the
heavy snowfall. Many rabbits have
already been found dead, while birds
are seen lowering around barnyards
in quest of food,

Italy Accords Military
Honors to American
Officer Killed at Front
BY .4sSociatcd Press

Udine, Italy, March 5. - The body
of Major Elvin r. Heiberg, the Amer
lean military attache who was killed
by fall from his horse on the Italian
front, was transported yesterday from
the hospital to the railroad station
with full military honors. The coffin
was placed on a gun carriage which
was draped with an American flag and
covered with wreaths, noticeable
among which was one from King Vic
tor inscribed ITO a distinguished Am
erican officer" The train carrying the
body will arrive in Rome some time
to-day.
A later report on the accident says
that Major Heiberg was riding a high
tempered horse belonging to Count
Ceriana. The horse ran away but was
mastered by its rider and brought
back. Major Heiberg seemed smitten
by a sudden illness when he started
to dismount and fell to the ground.
The restive horse kicked him on the
head and he died two hours later
without recovering consciousness.

WHY EAT POTATOES?

"At eight cents a pound
the potato is a needless
luxury" says the New
York Board of Health.
The potato is seventy-five
per cent. water and the rest
is mostly starch. 1t is a
good food when eaten in
combination with proteid
foods-but not worth eight
cents a pound. Cut out
meat, eggs and high-priced
vegetables and stick to ce-
reals and fruits. Two
Shredded Wheat Biscuits
(cost two cents) with milk
make a complete meal, sup
plying all the nutriment
needed for a half days
work. For breakfast with
hot milk; for dinner with
sliced bananas or stewed
prunes.

RUSH APPROPRIATION
To Be ASKED At ONCE

Washington, Aug. 2t.-Consress will
be asked for a special rush appropria-
tion for the immediate expansion Of
ship engine building plants to carry
out the big destroyer program decided
upon by the navy department. Sec
retary Daniels indicated today that the
shipbuilders have said the necessary
expansion could be carried out only IL
the government paid the bill. The
navy will ask him to start the work
and will not await the regular naval
appropriation bills later in the year.
Ship and engine builders now have
all the work existing plants can do
and also are obligated to the limit Of
their financial resources. They pro-
pose that the government expand the
yard and engine plants. that the pri-
vate builders do the work. using their
trained forces. supplemented by all the
additional men that can be produced.
and that at the conclusion of the war
or the contracts. as the government
may decide. the supplemental plants
either be sold to the ship building
companies or operated on government
work. Details of the scheme are now
being worked out at the navy depart
ment.
The destroyer program includes as
many new ships OF that type as IT is
possible to build.

NO MODIFICATION OF
RIGID EXEMPTION RULE
Only the President Can Make
Change Regarding Status
of Married Men.

Washington, Aug. 21.-If there is to
be any modification of the present
rigid rulings of the provost marshal
general regarding exemptions of mar
ried men from draft 1t is known only
to President Wilson. who alone has
authority to alter or modify those
regulations.
The war department so far, basing
its rulings on what it interprets as the
intention of congress in passing the
draft law, has gone on the theory that
a mans exemption was based on a
condition of dependency, rather than
on the mere condition of marriage.
The department still holds to that view
and will urge it upon the president,
Today there was no intimation from
any official source that the president
intends TO modify the rulings of the
war office.
