Writes of Dangers in Bring
ing Up Rations

Danger to which American boys "over
there" are often exposed. even when
not in battle. is indicated in letter from
Harry w. Gray. a private in COMPANY
F.. 103d United States Engineers. to a
friend in Philadelphia. Before entering
the service Gray was connected with the
advertising department of the Ledgers.
He has had several close calls from the
enemy. the closest very recently-but let
him tell it:
"One morning about 10 an O call
came from the ration party asking for
detail to bring up the eats. The boche
were shelling the road heavily. My
corporal and three of us went down. The
rations were on the far side of a sheled
village, about mile from the trenches.
We took a small path about thirty feet
from the road We moved as fast as
possible and Topped on our stomachs
much faster Just before we reached the
rations we had to pass the road. We
had no sooner got on 1t than a shell
came whistling along. We Topped down
quickly and It exploded about twelve feet
from US. l could hardly hear for an
hour afterward and my mouth was filled
with dirt for two hours. We picked our
selves up and broke all previous records
for the hundred-yard dash. Finally we
got back to the lines with the rations.
I'VE have had gas from the boche
| for stretches of five hours at time.
That necessitates wearing the gas mask
and, believe me, that sure Is misery"
Gray said the American soldier
quickly adapts himself to conditions and
is highly optimistic. regardless of sur
roundings. A mattress, he said. was a
real luxury But there's lots of fun to
be had when the situation is not serious
he writes, and leave 1t to the Amerl'
can boys to get it,
Don't forget to send me the Ledgers,
Gray requested. "as ! want to kno"
what's going on in the good Ole

DESPITE their entrance into IMAM

always will be feminine enough to be
attracted most to labors where becom-
ing costumes can be worn. With this
belief in mind, Mrs. Charlotte Hale, Of
Boston. designed the attractive costumes
which were today adopted by the seven

There were some people, of course,
who really had to go up in those ele-

FINED BAKERS ARE WARNED
Told Not to Go to Other Shops
for Trade Supplies

The fact that certain bakers through
out the State who have been ordered to
close their establishments for defined
periods for violations of the baking regu-
lations. have purchased bread from other
bakers and distributed it among their
own customers. mas led to this state
ment by Howard Heinz. Federal food
administrator for Pennsylvania:
when a baker is ordered to close he
must discontinue business entirely, both
the baking and distribution of bread and
not reopen either branch Of his business
until after the termination Of the period
for which he has been closed.
violation Of the order will result in
a considerable extension of the period
for which the baker has been closed, If
not in revocation of his license for the
term of the war"

And these are much larger and better

Basket Much Larger
Peaches and pears, like the tomatoes,
sold for about the same price per basket
as those in the stores, but the market
baskets we're much larger.
Already n number of requests have
been received for the establishment OF
curb markets at other points In the
city" said Food Administrator Cooke.
The food administration Is just as eager
to establish them as the people are to
have them. and they will be put into
running order just as soon as we find the
desire for them is genuine. The mar
ket will be kept clean and in good con-
dition. and the produce will be Inspected
