Enthusiastic Business Meeting OF

The regular monthly meeting OF the

Tuesday at the Municipal Building.
There was a large attendance. This
fact was particularly encouraging, as
at this time. when one and all are alb

organizations become disorganized.

timely warning. 1t was urged TO keep
the Civic League organized. The re-

A very sad article of baseball was

yesterday afternoon in the contest be-

which always attracts keenest interest
among the loyal but friendly partizans
of the two institutions The Johnnies
offered a perfectly miserable article
of ball booting the leather about for
a total of six hopeless errors, and at
the same time playing an absolutely
listless game both at bat and in the
field. Starting shortly after o'clock
the game dragged its weary length
through until a few minutes of Z
o'clock before the final man was re-
tired Most of the spectators, weary
ing OF the sluggish game and the
length of time it took the Johnnies TO
retire the Middies when they got at
bat. left before the conclusion of the
struggle Not only did the Sailors

that Coach Wilson had TO send in in
succession his entire pitching staff of
four men.

Give me q Job and I'll work for

That ejaculation landed . Job for
Edward B. Thiele. Jr., of 1912 Kill
bourne place northwest who is barely
twelve years old.
Deciding to follow the example OF
his brother, Capt. Claude n. Thiele.
Of the coast artillery, and get in the
war game, the young patriot applied
to several departments for work.
After being turned down several
times, he ventured. into the purchase
and supply division of the quarter
master generals department where
he was given q job. However, the
officer in charge informed him he
must at least accept 81 a year for
his services.

ICE SUPPLY FOR
HOMES IS NORMAL

Washington householders today re-
ceived their normal supplies of ice
for the first time since the ice short
age began.
Although only twelve carloads came
to the Capital this morning, the deal
ers were able to sell 400 tons that
had been saved by the order prohib-
iting the manufacture Of ice cream.
This more than made up for the de-
ficiency caused by the failure of the
regular number OF fourteen cars to
arrive.
Food administration officials say
that labor troubles and inability to
secure efficient help in the Pokomo
Mountains, near Lancaster, Pa, from
which place ice is shipped to WASH
ington, was the cause of the short
shipment today.
Clarence r. Wilson. District food
administrator, is elated over the ice
situation today and believes that It
will be unnecessary to put the ban
on the manufacture and sale OF soft
drinks to further conserve ice. He
did not know whether 1t would be
necessary to continue the order pro-
hibiting the making and selling Of
ice cream next week. The present
order expires Tuesday.
I'VE are getting along better than
Baltimore" Mr.. Wilson said. There
ice has been rationed, although ice
cream manufacturing was stopped in
order to conserve it"
