FOUR PRINCE GEORGES
MEN SEEK SHRIEVALTY
S. E. Sweeney, Benjamin ogle, n. G.
Machen and T. n. Garrison Want
Democratic Nomination.

UPPER MARLBORO. Md. January 2.
There are at least four avowed can
didates for the democratic nomination
for sheriff of Prince Georges county. the
nominee to be selected at the primaries
during the coming summer. Former
wood district will probably receive the
support of the Lee faction in the coun-
ty, while Benjamin Ogle of Noting
ham district. defeated at the last cleo
ton by Sheriff r. Fulton Gates, repub-
lican: Hervey C. Machen and Thomas
II. Garrison. both of Hyattsville dis
trict. will have to fight it out for the
support of the organization wing of
the party.
The indications point to a lively con-
test for the nomination. state Senator
William L. Holmead of Kent district
will, 1t is understood, receive the in
dorsement of the organization for an
other term in the upper branch OF the
organization will, it is stated, support
either Frederick Sasscer OF Marlboro
district or r. Howard Duckett Of Bad
ensburg district. Ogle Marbury OF
Laurel district appeared to be slated
for this nomination. but he has recently
been appointed an assistant, under Al
torney General Albert c. Richie, and
is thus eliminated.
The fact that Prince Georges county
voted wet" by a majority of eighty at
the last election makes it certain that
the dry advocates will make de-
termined fight to have the next leg1s-
lature give the voters another chance.

ENGlAND'S QUEEN SETS
AN EXAMPLE OF THRIFT
Takes Keen Interest in Food Prob
lens Growing Out of
the War.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 20.-Queen Mary.
in view of her interest in the question
of food supply, recently summoned
Walter Runciman, president of the
Board of Trade, to an audience at Buck
ingham Palace. 1t is very unusual for
the queen to send for a cabinet min
lister.
The conference was a long one, the
queen being particularly interested in
definite details as to how the proposed
new food regulations would affect the
poor. especially the working women
and women belonging to the so-called
professional classes. From the very
beginning of the war the queen has
shown particular interest in the posi-
tion of middle-class women, women of
education and breeding, who have
moved for years in one groove, and
who were no longer young enough to
be able to benefit by new openings when
their old occupations or incomes grad
ually became insufficient
The subject of food economy, also, is
one that has engaged the heartiest at
tention OF the queen. The queen Is
herself remarkably good housekeep-
err" writes one of the newspapers in
commenting on the audience with Mr..
Runciman, land If she belonged to the
middle classes she would be extolled
as a wonder among her peers. Years
ago. before war with Germany was
thought OF. she used to be quoted as an
example of thrifty management and
sound common sense In those days
thrifty management and sound COM
mon sense were neither popular nor
fashionable. and IL was considered the
smart thing to be wasteful and frivo-
lous and completely ignorant of what
went on in the kitchen and the store
room. Even yet. not everybody has
come around to the queens point Of
view, although they will in time. even
il they have to be forced into 1t. A
vast deal of unnecessary spending still
goes on. especially among the o-called
smart set, (which is still lunching and
dining and going to the theater and
buying expensive furs and going in
for extremes in evening dress. Only
an act of parliament will stop them /"

STORM IN BRITISH ISLES
RAGING AROUND THE DOG
Flood of Protests Follows Proposal
to Reduce the Canine
Population.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. December 20.-Thousands
of dogs are helping to keep up the high
cost of eating in this country by
figuratively snatching from the mouths
Of humans pound steaks. mutton chops
and other expensive things. This was
brought out in parliament the other
day when it became known that steps
were being taken to reduce" the 2,000,-
900 dogs that inhabit the British Isles.
The result was protest from alarmed
dog-lovers and chorus of approval by
dog haters. Newspapers have been
flooded with letters from both camps.
The suggestion of the government to
raise the dog tax from $3.50 to IS is
one of the proposed steps to reduce
the dogs" But it is pointed out that
the breeder and well-to-do owner will
not be deferred by an increased tax. In
favor of the dogs. it Is declared that
dogs were never more useful than to-
day. The head of a London dog home
than in peace time-so many women
are nervous now that their husbands
are in the army and they buy dogs to
guard their homes. He says that to
1OTDlQ QOSkeeplnB as d IOEfn OI waste
full extravaganza would cost more in
human happiness than 1t would save in
human food.
What really makes patriotic people
boil with rage is to see fashionably
dressed women with anywhere from
two to a half dozen pampered pets.
These are the dogs accused of eating
the pound steaks.
The really best dogs. like all the
best people," says the Daily Mail. "eat
simple food. A good house dog in a
well ordered household may be kept in
perfect health at an infinitesimal cost.
1t Is the utterly useless dog with no
merit but pedigree and no part in life
but to be pampered that develops fas-
tidious and extravagant tastes and be-
comes a nuisance at home and in the
street, in the hotels and in railway
trains"
But it appears certain that whatever
other breeds may be affected by the
threatened reduction of licenses the
British bulldogs place is secure. In de-
Tense of the bulldog it lis stated that he
is not an expensive luxury, that he will
eat almost anything and only requires
one good meal a day.
