"BOOZE" PRICES SOAR
AND SO DO "SMOKES. "
New Federal Tax Causes Raise On
Draft Of John Barleycorn" And
Package OF weeds"

The man who likes his draft of
John Barleycorn," and those VINO
have the habit of pulling" on the
weed" soon will have to pay an ad-
vanced price to indulge in the pleas
ures, because within the next few
days the price on whiskey. cigars and
cigarettes, and probably beer, too, is
to be raised, the said increase being
due to the new Federal tax that has
been laid against these articles.
Some of the emporiums of the city
that dispense the "wet goods" and
Smokes" already have placed the
increased prices into effect, and all Of
the others are expected to follow
suit Immediately The operation of
the new Federal tax regulation began
yesterday, and Baltimore and other
cities promptly placed the increases
into effect. To get down to facts the
price of a package of cigarettes that
originally sold for five cents will now
be six cents, and the ten-cent pack
ages will be raised to twelve cents.
With the higher grade cigarettes, 1t
is not unlikely that the raise in price
will be correspondingly greater. And
like scale of increase will be made
| in the retail prices of all grades OF
cigars
Whiskey that has been selling over
the counters of the liquor emporiums
at ten cents, will now cost the drinker
fifteen cents, and like increase will
be made in the grade of liquors that
have been selling at above the ten
cent figure. Customers at a number
of the saloons were greeted with the
announcement of increased prices to-
day. The fellow who often overlook
ed the payment of drink after he had
disposed of it. was not reminded along
that line by the bartender today in
words such as didn't you forget your
change" but this remark has been
supplanted by another nickel,
please" And then the dispenser pro-
ceeds to acquaint the customer about
| the advance in prices.

MANY CANNED GOODS
SOLD FOR RED CROSS
Committee OF Ladies Highly Pleased
As Result OF Efforts
DISPOSE OF 600 JARS
And Total OF $l35.45 Is Net Sum
Resulting Therefrom Thanks To
Those Who Aided.

More than six hundred jars of can
ned fruits and vegetables were dis
posed of by the committee of ladies
working for the benefit of the Red
Cross Society during the sale of the
last two days, and the snug sum of
$13S.45 was realized therefrom for
this worthy emergency cause.
The sale was conducted under the
auspices of a committee composed of
Mrs. Thomas ]. Linthicum, Mrs. DR..
Gardiner CLANCY, Mrs. Zachary
Childs, Mrs William Z. Miller, Mrs.
Edward Heise, Mrs. George Heintz
and Mrs. Clarance M. White.
The committee wishes to extend its
! thanks to the members of the County
Board of Education for the use of the
domestic science room of the city
public school building, where all the
canning work was done; to the Ma
tional Council of Defense which de-
frayed the cost of gas used in con-
nection with the canning work, and
also to the number of persons for
their liberality in making donations
of canned goods.
The canned goods sold like .hot
cakes" to use the old-time express
sion of the street vendors Every jar
of goods that had been prepared went
in quick order and the ladies of the
committee had their hands full in
taking care of the purchasers. So
great was the demand in fact, that
many more could have been disposed
of, especially pickles, catsup, and
other things of the like. In this con-
nection, it has been suggested that
any persons wishing to prepare such
articles will find ready sale for them.
By way of charity, the committee
made donation of two dozen jars of
apple sauce and dozen cans of to-
matoes to the Emergency Hospital.
The committee is more than pleased at
the results that their efforts brought,
as the sum realibed from the sale ex-
ceeded their fondest expectations.

BAD GAS CONDITION
DUE TO BAD COAL
Official Of Annapolis Public Utilities
Company States Condition As
They Exist

Suffering from the impure, sicken-
ing odor of the gas, required to be
kept burning under the melting pot
for eight hours each day, with the
linotype operators inhaling this to
the detriment of their health, this
paper felt constrained to seek relief
from headquarters, and appealed to
the officials of the Annapolis Public
Utilities Company.
The following courteous reply was
received at this Office yesterday:
Under the circumstances existing
during these war times this company,
with many others, has had consider
able difficulty in procuring it's coal
requirements A few weeks ago we
got to point where our coal sup
ply was becoming dangerously low
and due to congestion and the fact
that great quantities of coal were be-
ing shipped to lake ports on order of
the U. S. Government, we were unable
to procure coal from the mine with
which we have a contract 1t was a
foregOne conclusion that We would
not permit of our plant being shut
down, with the result that We found
it necessary to go into the open mar
ket and buy the best coal we could
obtain at a considerable advance in
price. This coal upon arrival proved
very hight in sulphur, hence the odor
mentioned by you. We have finally
succeeded in procuring another sup
ply Of the coal contracted for, which
is the highest grade gas coal We can
purchase, and / am sure the difficult
ty complained of will be promptly
eliminated want to assure you that
we are trying to do everything pos
sible to give the very best quality of
gas. and if you are acquainted with
the coal situation as it exists today
you must know that we are expert
encing the greatest difficulty in pro-
| curing coal at any price. | know of
one plant in Maryland which was
compelled to shut down for consid-
cradle period due to the fact that they
could not get a sufficient amount OF
coal to keep their plant in operation.
We are not going to permit this to
happen in Annapolis if we can pre-
vent it, and in the meantime we will
bend every effort in trying to secure
the best possible quality Of coal.
Yours very truly,

way one of the brimstones was
ignited and set fire To her clothing
The frightful screams of the young
girl were heard by her mother and
neighbors. who hurried TO her assist
ance. but before the flames on her
burning garments could be extin-
guished, the flesh of her body had
been so badly singed that little hope
for her recovery was entertained by
the physicians from the start
The suffering little girl was placed
in the automobile truck of the Water
Witch Hook and Ladder Fire Com
pany and hurried to the hospital
Every possible attention was given
to relieve her sufferings, but her
condition rapidly grew worse. and
she expired at I1.30 o'clock last
night The case was pitiful one in
the extreme, as the meanings of the
little girl were terrifying. Little
Miss Goss was an extremely bright
child for her age, it is said. AS be-
fore stated. she was student at st.
Marys Parochial school

be held from st. Mary's Catholic
Church tomorrow morning at 10

schoolmates, will act as pall-bearers
