The District Of Columbia was sued
Yesterday In the District Supreme Court
for $3.50. The Scioto Sign Company says
the municipality owes that amount for
1000 automobile tags for which it con-
tracted. The tags were to cost 3 cents
each, and were delivered before No
yember l last, according to contract.
1t is stated. The District has failed and
refused to settle, the court Is told At

Roberts said, 1t would be arranged
that the prevailing wholesale prices at
such municipal market would be
posted so that the consumer could
the articles and would know if he Is
being 'gouged."
For System in Marketing.
Mr.. Roberts said further that what
is needed throughout the country is a
systematic marketing system in the
shipments OF foodstuffs which would
put the producing and consuming COM
muntties in trading relations with each
other. and make it possible to send
per1shable products directly from the
point of production to the point of USE
and for the Inauguration of system
IN the distribution of food products
which will cause them to move to the
points of use in response to their re-
spective demands Tor use. SO as to pre-
vent congested markets on the ono
hand and an inadequate supply on the
other, with the resulting waste which
always occurs in congested markets
He said it seems that the District
should have municipal market. which
would attract foodstuffs, especially
lief that such a market, operated by
the District, would tend to induce
farmers living remote from the city to
send their products to it because of the
assurance lHaI the products would De
handled by government officials and
sold at the prevailing market price.
Would Not Have Monopoly.
He declared that no attempt should
be made to establish such a market as
a monopoly, but simply as an agency,
because of its very character tending
to encourage the shipment of food
stuffs to this city.
A municipal market here, he said,
would assure the people that they are
paying the lowest price possible for
their foods

Unless communities all over the
country at once begin to make some
provision for canning and drying vege-
tables, hundreds of tons of fresh, edi-
Bile vegetables are going to waste at a
time when cities are paying high prices
for them and the country faces a short
age of food next winter.
Though no official comment has been
made as yet by the food administration,
reports have come into that office, as
well as to the Department of Agricul-
ture, that the products of home gardens
and community gardens are going to

it is seeking through its offices of ex-
tension work. north and south. to en-

serving of vegetables.
The food administration is pushing
the same sort of a canning campaign,
and the national emergency food gar
den commission is flooding the country

ADVOCATES MUNICIPAL MARKET
TO END D. C.. FOOD SHARK EVILS
George NJ Roberts Declares There Never
Has Been Shortage in Supplies,
He Blaming Spectators.

There never has been food short
age in this country: there was no
shortage last spring; there is none
now. and do not believe We will have
one because of the war" says George
NJ. Roberts. superintendent of weights
and measures of the District.
Mr.. Roberts. who is chairman Of the
District food commission. appointed by
spring to investigate the food conditions
here, declared that the cause of the
high prices of foodstuffs in Washing
ton is due principally to speculation.
A municipal market for the District
is urged by Mr.. Roberts. In connection
with the local situation he said such
market, in his estimation. would
make prices of foodstuffs cheaper for
the consumers of the District. "a
wholesale market owned and operated
would certainly improve conditions.
"Such a market could be arranged.
where the farmers could ship their
foodstuffs, instead of sending them to
the, commission merchants: and the
foodstuffs could then be sold by gov
eminent officials to the retail dealers
at the prevailing wholesale market
prices. which would undoubtedly be
lower than the prices now set by the
commission merchants.
Operation Cheaper.
I believe that such market would
be practicable" he said, because it
could be operated more cheaply and
there would be a working system
which would supplant the loose system
now in operation.
THE retailer would get the foodstuffs
at a cheaper price and would sell to
his customers at a cheaper rate than
they have been paying. OF course,
there would be no attempt to fix SELL
ing price"
In connection with the selling price
at which the retailers would dispose

PROPOSES A WAR BOARD
OF military INVENTIONS
Bill introduced in House to Provide
for Expediting Devices
of Value.

A War Department board of military
Inventions. similar to one now In
operation in England. is proposed in a
bill introduced yesterday by Represen-
tative Lunn of New York, member of
the House committee on military af-
fairs. The board would consist of five
men of experience in science and In
dustry and would be appointed by the
Secretary of War. Their duties would
consist in assisting the inventive
genius of the country in developing
ideas of possible military value.
y Mr.. Lunn's Statement.
In a statement on the bill Repre-
sentative Lunn says:
THE fact that the aeroplane. sub
marine and light machine guns are
being used in the present war as weap-
ons of first Importance. and that these
great inventions are American ,lnven-
lions which this government In the
years past refused to develop. but
which were developed by foreign gov
ernments, is decidedly humiliating. No
one today favors the policy of nesation
which in the past has forced American
inventors of war machinery to turn to
other governments for the development
of their ideas
The fact remains. however, that we
have no constituted authority adequate
quickly to investigate the thousands of
proposals which the American inventors
stand raldy to present rs possible
means of meeting each new develop
ment of German frightfulness in land
fighting. We need a clearing house with
congressional authority for inventions
of possible use to the army. The inven-
tive genius Of America is one of our
traditions.
Such board should have the power
to encourage American inventors of
small means, who could not possibly
develop their own ideas.
Demand on Military Authorities.
Our military authorities will be held
strictly accountable by the country for
the efficiency of our war machinery. and
they should be provided with an expert
board to separate the grain from the
chaff in the many proposals which are
being made. The British munitions
ministry has similar department The
navy, through it's naval consulting
board, is meeting the problem for the
navy. but with respect to the War De-
partment, there is no board clothed
with congressional authority which can
give the country adequate assurances
that the nation can receive the maxi
mum returns from its inventive genius.
The bill which have introduced today
seeks to remedy this situation"

Dry, Avoid Exposure and

Stay off the damp ground, avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism Is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid. which is gen.
Grated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means Of
freeing the blood Of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the
skin pores are closed. thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work, they be-
come weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness.

At the first twinge of rheumatism
