CITIES AND TOWNS
RESPONDING WELL
Accept Quotas Allotted in Campaign to
Raise So for Each Soldier and
Sailor for Recreation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., NOV. l.
American cities and towns are respond
ing generously in accepting the quotas
allotted to them in connection with the
national campaign to raise So for each
soldier and sailor in the service, to be
expended III assuring q clean and prop
er environment in the communities ad-
jacent to the 90 and more training
camps and thereby assisting in making
fighting forces more fit, physically and
mentally, for the battles they face
abroad. This is the information gath
cred at the headquarters here Of the
War Camp Community Recreation fund,
where the campaign is being directed.
As Indicative of public enthusiasm
over the movement, il is pointed out
that in one of the very few towns where
an organized campaign was not agreed
upon, the leading citizens of that town
began collecting contributions and it
was expected that the total amount
collected would probably exceed the
| quota which had first been suggested.
Merchants in many cities are placing

the blanks are found on hotel desks.

them for eight for % cents. Mr.. Foy
said that this is the lowest price that
eggs have sold for in the last three
years.
Meats, too, he said, are coming out
of storage and the owners are reducing
their holdings. About a month ago he
said that beef that is now quoted at
II and 19 cents a pound was selling
for as high as 80 cents a pound Ribs
have dropped from % to 271a cents a
pound to Il to % cents a pound. The
retail butchers, he said are now selling
more meat than they have sold III the
last three years.
The milk situation is receiving the at
tention of state and city officials. and
they are anxiously waiting for the ac-
ton of the board of directors of the
Dairymen S league, which will at its
meeting today consider the request of
the authorities not to put into effect
the contemplated raise Of one half of
one cent quart to the dealers.
Health Commissioner Emerson told
Mr.. Williams that he believed that but
ter fat milk in bottles could be sold
for children at l3 cents quart, and
good milk for adults at 10 cents q

RAILROADS BLAMED
FOR COAL SHORTAGE
Scarcity of Cars and Freight
Congestion are Cause
Administrators Say
CITY SITUATION
IS IMPROVING

To consider the coal situation in this
city and state, Charles H. Ten Weeges,
fuel administrator for Delaware. yes
terday afternoon called a meeting Of
the State Advisory Fuel Committee,
which is composed Of the chairmen Of
all the district fuel committees. After
the conference Mr.. Ten Weeges stated
that he had learned that twenty car
loads Of coal had been shipped to this
city recently. and il is believed wher
this has been received the situation
here will be greatly relieved.
The trouble here. or at least the
greater part Of 10. i5 put ilp TO The rail
roads. They.are struggling with 4 car
shortage and with q great congestion
Of freight and between The two they
cannot get the cars 10 haul The coal,
and when they get the cars they can
not move them because Of the freight
congestion. Relief is expected, how
ever, because of the cancellation by the
Government Of the priority order in
favor Of the northeast. which became
effective yesterday This will make IL
possible for the railroads and coal COM
panies to send much more coal to the
East than they have been doing, and
this city will accordingly benefit with
the others.
Robert d. Kemp, chairman of the VIII
mingtOn administrative committee, re-
quests the people to make every effort
90 help the dealers by refraining from
delaying drivers in making deliveries.
Some people order a ton OF coal TO be
sent out Immediately and then go out"
said Mr. Kemp, leaving the house lock-
ed up, and when the coal arrives it is
impossible for the driver 10 make de-
livery and sometimes he Is compelled to
hanl the coal a considerable distance out
Of his way which only adds to the ox-
pense and makes It harder for the deal
er TO handle his trade to advantage. An
other source OF annoyance is that some
people order coal C. o. d. and fail TO
have the proper change when it ar
rives, compelling The driver to run
around the neighborhood and look up
