Enormous Shipments HIVE Been Made
to Camp Lee Within Pnst Few
Weeks.

Subscriptions through The Times
Dispatch to Our Boys in France To-
bacco Fund" have now passed the $500
mark. The sum of $3.50 was received
yesterday from friends of the American
lighting men. bringing the grand total
to S321.50.
The opportunity is open to every
man, woman and child to contribute to
this fund and help bring cheer to the
sailors and soldiers who are about TO
go upon the battle fields of Europe to
do their part in helping put down
kaiserism. Tobacco is a scarce article
among the American fighting forces in
Franco. They have plenty OF food and
clothing. but their rations OF the weed
from Virginia are decidedly limited. To
meet this deficiency Our Boys in
France Tobacco Fund" was formed, and
IT now calls those who cannot fight to
help fill thousands of empty pipes.
Subscriptions OF any amount are
asked. Remember, rs cents BUYS
enough tobacco to supply an American
soldier for one week. And for every
package you buy you will receive
message OF thanks directly from the
front.

MAYOR vETOES ORDINANCE
FOR CLOSING Of Street
Deals With Forest Hill Land Com.
pany, Whereas No Such Cor
poration Exists.
NO INTENTIONAL DECEPTION
Through misunderstanding, Ordi.
nance Was Reported by Street
Committee and Was Adopted by
Both Branches OF the City Council.

Mayor George Ainslie declined yester-
day to approve the ordinance recently
adopted by both branches OF the Coun-
ell relocating Stonewall Avenue, E.
tween Forty-frst and Forty-second
Streets, in South Richmond. The meas
ure was forwarded to the Council with
the information obtained by the Mayor
when he conducted an Inquiry to The
matter. The ordinance was favorably
reported by the Council Committee on
streets at the request of James l..
Sradley, president OF the Forest Hi.l
Land Company.
THE ordinance deals with the Forest
I'M Land Company" wrote the Mayor
TO the Council, "as one OF the intn--
ested parties. whereas no such corpor-
alton exists
The chairman OF the Street Commit
tee, the clerk Of said committee, and
inc city Engineer made statements be-
lore me TO the effect that the committee
favorably reported the ordinance upon
the understanding that all owners OF
property abutting upon the street both
as originally laid out and as relocated
were present as petitioners for the pro-
posed change. and. in fact. the third
preamble OF the ordinance so states
not the case
NO EVIDENCE OF
INTENTIONAL DECEPTION
IL mas been the immemorial custom
OF the committee on Streets to give all
aout'ing property owners an opportun-
ity to be heard before recommending
such changes in streets, but, on account
OF misunderstanding of who consti-
tutcd Such owners, 1t was not done in
this case. Although il may make no
chanEe in the final decision of the case
on me merits am advised by the
chairman and clerk of the Street Com
mittec, and the City Engineer that il i.
desirable to have all parties in intercs;
present in the pending case as their in
tercSt may appear. as has been the
practice heretofore
nave no reason to believe that any
intentional deception was practiced up-
on the Street Committee by the peti-
TONERS or any OF them. but think thar
The misunderstanding arose from the
TACT that the committee understood the

CARE OF BROOD MARE IS
 IMPORTANT.

By J. H. Mcleod, Livestock Special
 ist, Extension Division, Univer- .. .. sity of Arkansas, It is estimated that only 60 pei cent of brood mares bred each year produce living colts. A great part oi this loss can be overcome by proper feed, care and management.
 1. Better to work mare more while in foal than to allow her to stand idle.
 2. Good judgment, however, should ibe used in kind of work she is call ed up to do. She should not be allow. ed to pull too heavy loads or to back heavy loads and all other exertions such as wading through deep mud and the like.
 3. Keep the mares bowels loose by feeding such feeds as bran or green feeds.
 4. Do not feed cotton seed meal to brood mares.
 B.. Avoid all feeds that contain dust, mold or decay.
 6. Give the mare plenty Of fresh clear water.
 z. Allow her the run of pasture while not at work.
 s. To avoid navel disease it Is best to allow mare to drop foal in pasture provided there are no othe. stock to disturb her.

EqYsl to the oecasion.

"Not much of place! You don't seem to have any murder spots," said a jocular member of party of tour- ists to a native guide., "1n the last village we stopped at. now, they showed us a place where 6 man had lain in wait for, his sweetheart and her four sisters, and murdered them one after another with a fendish gusto." The guide had really never heard of this remarkable crime, but his profess sional Jealousy was aroused. '"That is quite true, sir," he unblushingly bore witness; Out you. perhaps, are not aware that the murderer after- wards made his escape in this direc- ton. and you are now standing on the very spot where he threw away the bloodstained gusto with which he com- mitted the fearful deedw

Improvement on "skla.n

An increase of several yards in the jump of ski-runners is rather sur. prising result of the process of metal lizing objects by means oi spray. In Switzerland, a coating of aluminium of the thickness of thin cardboard is be- ing applied to the ski-biades by this method, and this not only adds greatly to the durability of the bearing surface but 1t also very materially lessens friction, and tends further to prevent caking of snow on the blades. It is the diminished friction that lengthens the jump.

And yet Jenny Cass knew that every
girl suffered even as she did. The coats
were uniformly heavy and exertion
added to the torture. Her own shoul-
ders and feet ached and she was faint
and sick with weariness. The busi-
ness of being a model was abhorrent
to her. She had been forced into it.
She had come to the city with her
head full of dreams, hopes and ambi-
tions. Her mother was dead and her
father had left her to shift for herself
A girl she had known had drawn her
to the city. For while they had
lived together and worked in the same
store. ThenIhe other girl had desert
ed her. Jenny had kept at work, try
ing to be clean and healthy and con-
tent on Sc week. Suddenly a new
manager had dismissed her
1t was, of course, the wrong season
OF the year, but bravely she had gone
from store to store seeking employ
ment. AS her money went, she be-
came shabbier. She was invariably

that she lacked all the requirements

out on the sand dunes, watching the
tide come and go, and visiting the

us of wrecks in the past and show us
relics of what was picked up on the

weave that deadened her skin; now a
gorgeous plaid that made her look like
a gypsy; blue. or a green, or a red
that flung little color into her face.
But whatever the color or style, they

carpet and the thick folds of the coat
she wore saved her from injury. Jenny
started forward. She heard woman
