Pour boiling or very hot water over the

rubbing cake soap on fabrics and more rub

NAVY RECRUITING
STATION TO HAVE
WAITING LIST HERE

With nearly all branches OF mili-

l. E. Morgan. in charge Of the navy
recruiting station. today said that be-
cause the navy is so nearly filled a
waiting list" will have to be estab-
lished here.
But ten men a week will be allowed
to enlist at the local station. Only
apprentice seamen, engineer forces,
radio operators, a few machinists'
mates and other men for the aviation
corps, mess attendants and musicians
are being taken.
Special attention will be paid to re-
cruitinE musicians for the navy, II
was said today. A recent ruling
gives each ship a band OF twenty-five
pieces with twelve more on q nag
ship.
THE value OF musicians in either
the army or navy Is being recognized
by authorities more and more" said
Lieutenant Morgan today.
Although practically all band in
struments are wanted, there is an i'm
pregnable line between ukeleie play
ers and the navy. A ukelele has no
place In a ships band"

U. S. NAVY TO BUILD
ITS OWN AEROPLANES

The American navy Is going 70
build Its own aeroplanes
This was revealed today by secre-
tary Daniels, who said that S1.000.OOO
Of the additional S45, 0o0, 900 asked by
the Department OF Congress would b.
used to build a plant to turn out ma
chimes exclusively for the sea forces.
The location OF the plant will be de-
termined by the aircraft board Of the
Council OF National Defense.
The Secretary made II plain that
contracts will be let to private con-
Germs as heretofore, but II is expect
ed that q Government-owned aircraft
factory will give the department .
frmer grip on the problem.
The life OF an aeroplane type IL now
about six months, so rapid lie the
progress OF improvement, and the
aforementioned plant is looked to
to keep pace with this rapid de-
velopmsnt.

REALTY DOOMED
BY WAR DEMAND
FOR OFFICE ROOM

The ingenuity OF real estate opS-
rGtors Is being taxed to meet the de-
mAnds OF the Government for Office
accommodations for the army of addi-
tional clerks called to washington BY
the exigencies OF the war. An ak
ample OF the efforts to meet these I'M
usual Requirements is shown by the
Ordnance Building Company. which
yesterday secured a loan OF 100000
from the Union Trust Company to
complete the new building in course

ing.

ton OF the structure is already occu-
pied by the Gc-Hrnmen.

RISE IN FOOD PRICES
TWICE THAT OF FRANCE

While the prices OF foodstuffs have
increased only 80 per cent In France
as a result Of the war, the increase
in this country has been approx
mately 100 per cent, and only gov
ernmentaI interference will modify
the situation, in the opinion Of Henry
French, OF London, now stopping at
q local hotel.
"The present high prices In this
country appear to have been caused
by the action OF the middlsman in
reaching for big profits during these
extraordinary times" said Mr.. French.
The same thing happened in Eng
land and France during the nrst few
months OF the war"
