Germantown Doing Her Bit.

On good ST. Valentines night in the
town hall at Germantown the Red Cross
Auxiliary gave tea for the purpose of
obtaining funds with which to procure
material for the continuation Of the work
already begun.
The decorations for the occasion we're
most attractive-the stage screened with
a curtain of hearts and large Red Cross"
in the center. the draperies Of the booths
and tables being white with hundreds Of red
hearts scattered daintiy over them, and
charming ladies in Red Cross costumes
serving the many guests. made not only a
most impressive. but most inspiring
scene. To feel that these workers responded
so beautifully to call from their country
and were giving their time, thought and
energy to make the evening a pleasant
one in order to procure financial success
is very gratifying. F..
Delightful suppers were served, which
were donated by the many kind and gen.
erous families in the neighborhood. and
willing aid was given by many Of our'men,
who are Red Cross members.
All those who assisted and helped to
make the tea a success. and also those
who came and spent their money to aid
those who are wearing the uniform and
protecting our flag. are doing a noble work /;
one much appreciated by the Germantown
Auxiliary and for which il wishes to thank
all. After all expenses were paid the sum
of SOS was realized.

Suggests New Section For The
U. s. Draft Law,

Preston B. Ray. Clerk Of the Circuit Court
Of this county and a member Of the Local
Draft Board. has written to the office of
the Provost Marshal General letter sug-
costing the addition to the selective ser
vice law of section to be known as farm
emergency classification"
1t is Mr.. Rays idea that entirely too
many Of what he terms the key" men Of
the farms are being forced into the mill
tary service, and that the district boards
Of the country are making serious mis-
take in holding these men in spite Of
meritorious claims for deferred classified
ton on the ground of being connected with
necessary agricultural enterprises.
THE second district board at Annapolis,
Md. with Jurisdiction over farm claims
from this county. has passed on about 200
claims and still has about 400 cases I'M
der advisement. In the main its decisions
have been correct, but the board seems to
have laid down a rule that when there Is
more than one brother on farm at least
one shall be held for military service. ire
spective Of his qualifications as associate
farm manager or skilled farm laborer.
Il am informed that the district boards
throughout the country are following the
same plan and that there is general COM
plant from agricultural sections. The rule
undoubtedly is a practical and reasonable
one when the farm is medium in size and
modest in production. but where. as in this
county, farms contain from 200 to 900
acres its application falls heavily on the
industry"

Kill No Hens Or Pallets Is Food
Order; Eggs Needed.

The United States Food Administration
announces that it has forbidden licensed
trading in live or freshly killed hens and
pullets. Licensed dealers have been noti-
fed that fresh stock of this kind already
purchased must be disposed of by Febru-
airy 2S and that additional stocks may not
be purchased. They may still handle stored
or frozen stocks.
By restricting the killing of chickens
which should soon be heavy layers. the
Food Administration hopes to increase the
production Of eggs, adding to the avail
able market supply and at the same time
allowing them to 60 into storage during
the season of high production at a price
which will not necessitate unreasonable
figures for storage eggs next fall and win
ter. Further slaughter would possibly re-
duce this years production to the danger
line.
Increased cost Of feeding. combined with
present attractive market prices, has in
fiuenced many poultry raisers to dispose of
birds which should add to the spring and
summer ess production. If the slaughter
should continue at the rate which has ruled
in recent months, there would be very
real shortage of eggs this spring. with cor
responding high prices paid for those placed
In storage.
Both the Food Administration and the
Department Of Agriculture have advised
saving all hens and pullets for egg produc-
ton. The Food Administration some time
ago requested dealers to reduce the slaueh-
ter Of possible ege producers, urging them
to procure wherever possible cocks and
cockerels 1t has now taken further step
and placed the full power Of its authority
behind definite prohibition. Failure to
observe this ruling would constitute vio-
lation Of the food-control act. 1t would be
followed by revocation of license or could
be punished by fine of not more than
$4,000. by imprisonment for not more
than two years, or by all three.

Navy Enlistment For Duration OF
The War.

Young men of Maryland contemplating
enlistment in the service are urged by the
States Navy Recruiting Authorities not
to overlook the fact that they can now en-
list in the regular Navy for the duration of
the war.
This ruling by the Bureau of Navigation
put the Navy on an equal basis with all
other military units that are accepting the
services Of young men for only as long as
the war lasts.
The Navy needs men for its aviation
branch, and it is generally agreed that no
other branch of the service offers more at
traction and better advantages than the
Nays airplane division.
Recruits for this division are enlisted as
quartermasters, II they have the necessary
qualifications. and carpenters mates, II
they have sufficient knowledge Of carpen-
try to enable them to perform such duties
about the aviation camps.
In addition to men for the aviation ser
vice, the Navy needs great many more
apprentice seamen.
Full particulars Of Navy enlistments can
be obtained from the nearest postmaster
directly from the Navy Recruiting Station
Calvert and Lexington streets. Baltimore
or from the Navy Recruiting Substation'
at Cumberland and Haserstown.

Soldier And Sailor INSURANCE.

Every American soldier or sailor lost on
the torpedoed transport "Tuscania" was
protected by the United States Govern
ment insurance and Government compen-
sation. This has been officially announced
by Secretary McAdoo.
Those who had not applied for the in
surance we're covered by the automatic
insurance under the law. which Is payable
to wife. child, or widowed mother. This
automatic insurance AGGREGATES $4,000,
netting $25 a month for 240 months.
OF those who had applied for and OBJ
tanned insurance many had taken out the
maximum amount Of $4,000. netting
$3.50 month for 240 months.
There have been various causes for de-
lay In forwarding checks to the dependents
Of soldiers and sailors.
The distance Of many of the applicants
from Washington and the mail congestion
prevailing more or less all over the coun-
try have caused delay both in the receipt
Of the applications by the Treasury and
the receipt Of the checks by the beneficial
ries.
Another cause is that of the checks sent
Quito. 000-could not be delivered be-
cause the dependents to whom the checks
were payable had moved. leaving no for
wardine addresses or the addresses origi-
nally given were incomplete or erroneous
or so illegibly written that they could not
be properly deciphered.
Nearly half million checks were mailed
out in January and all possible expedition
is being made to get all the addresses and
other details correct so that the Deepen.

their allowances promptly and certainly.
