terest of organization extension.
While this branch of the Council or
ganization has been busy with the grim
side of the war, the Thrift Department
has been setting new topics for thought
agong in the minds of the county
women by its announcement regarding
1918 styles in clothes. Mrs. V. X.
Chestnut, Vice Chairman of the Thrift
Department, embodied in her last re-
port to the general Chairman, Mrs. II.
]. Patterson of College Park, reco-
mendation looking towards the work to
be done by the department in the cold
er months as the canning activities will
soon be finished for this year.
She advised the conservation of cloth
ing. from shoe leather to brass buttons,
as the logical follow-up of the summers
intensive food conservation grogram.
She presented her ideas from the stand
point of patriotism and as no opposl-
ton was voiced, the representatives OF
the communities in attendance, were
given a message of further conserVa-
ton to take back to their local organl-
cation.
1t looks as if Dame Fashion will be
superseded by Uncle Sam in the minds
of patriotic Prince Georges County
women so far as their selection OF
frocks, suits and c!,aks for the ensuing
Fall and Winter is concerned. Mrs.
| Chestnut issued an edict against the
movement said to have been started to
popularze olive drab, gray and other
dark colors in the heavy goods for the
use of women as their tints during war
| times. 1t was pointed out by Mrs.
| Chestnut that to use these materials
and colors would offer severe competitor
to Uncle Sam for once thing is
fashionable, it is very fashionable.
Hence the bright coors of summer
may be carried into the winters usage
that the serviceable tones so necessary
for the Government uniforms and sailor
suits may be available for the factories
clothing the fighting men. To be
patriotic rather than fashionable will
probably be the most stylish thing ir
the county circles this year for the ma

State Forester Besley advises wood
land owners to realize on their
timber and wood.

Timber and wood have never been as
valuable as they are now. The large
quantity of lumber required by the
Government for war purposes, the
great industrial expansions taking place
in our cities, are rapidly using up the
surplus on hand and creating local
demand for saw timber, railroad ties,
poles, piling, and all products derived
from the forests. Even cordWood
which heretofore has been difficult to
sell, is now sure to be in demand this
winter and next winter.
This affords an excellent opportunity
for woodland owners to sell any mature
timber and to utilize defective trees or
those of poor species for cordWood.
The present indications are that coal
will be high in price and difficult to
get, especially in the smaller towns
on account of shortage of cars.
Wood cut during August will prob
ably be sufficiently seasoned to sell
after January 1st. 1t is likely that
timber prices will continue good after
the war, so that woodland owners
should cut conservatively now in order
to have another timber crop in few
years from the small and middle sized
trees that have not yet reached their
maximum value.
State Forester, F. w. Besley, Balti
more, Maryland, will advise any one
how and what to cut for timber or fol
cordwood and how to find market fol
it, if you will write to him at the above
address.
He is now making an inspection trip
through all of the counties of the State
and will probably be able to visit your
place and ad wise you on the grount
if requested to do so, and without
charge.

A Sad Death.

The circumstances of the sad death
oe Amber f. Manus, the only child
of Rev. and Mrs. f. E. McManuS, ale
too we'll known to need repetition. II e
C ,roner's jury held that the death was
ciused by criminal negligence on t. e
part of DIR. Cornelius De Wees, of tt e
Laurel Sanitarium. who was driving
the automobile.
On account of the illness of Mrs.
McManus the funeral was held from
the Rectory on Wednesday afternoon,
DR.. Blake of Christ Church, George
town, officiating. The little casket
was borne to the cemetery by near
friends and by the fathers of the boys
with whom Amber usually played, ao-
companied by his grief stricken father
and relatives and a large concourse of
sorrowing friends. 1t was a most
touching scene as the little body was
laid to rest under the spreading oaks of
the beautiful cemetery, the grave being
literally covered with the flowers sent
by loving friends, by the Vestry,, the
Ladies Association and the Sunday
School children.
No words of sympathy can alleviate
the sorrow of the devoted parents,
who with true Christian fortitude are
trying to bear the burden of their great
trouble. May we trust that some con-
ISOLATION may come to them in the
thought that the little soul was gather
ed unto the Everlasting Arms,
wearing the white flower of a
blameless life
"Safely, safely gathered in,
Far from sorrow, far from sin;
God has saved from weary strife,
In its dawn, this fresh young life;
Now it waits for us above,
Resting in the Saviour's love"

control bill.
Weighted down with amendments, 10
some of which virtually every Senator on

There were threats of prolonged oppos-

the cotton Senators and the anti-Govern-

out for the bill.
Hence Senator Chamberlain, in charge of
the measure, was on hand early with his
closure threat He will try late today for
unanimous consent to vote on the bill

later in the week. If this is impossible he
may once more present his closure petition.

the fire.
