Nearly All Undersea Boats
Are Equipped With Kitchens
Where Cook Prepares Meals


In the earlier submarines no pro-
vision was made for cooking the mems
meals. Everything had to be eaten
cold.
This did not matter so very much
when these craft were quite small,
with correspondingly small radius Of
action.
But when larger undersea boats
came to be built, the provision Of prop.
erly cooked hot meals became q press.

SALE IN BALTIMORE
Illegal Liquor Traffic Here
Brings Hint of Federal
Action There.

Determined that wholesale bootleg
ging in Washington must be stamped out
Immediately, federal authorities are now
contemplating closing of all liquor es-
Establishments IN Baltimore-the liquor
vendors source of supplies. This drastic
action, however, will not be taken if the
Baltimore liquor dealers agree upon
plan submitted to them recently by Maj.
Pullman and other District authorities.
At a recent conference between Maj.
Pullman and William Pepper Constable,
president of the Baltimore board Of
liquor license commissioners, it was vir-
tually agreed that steps would be taken
to limit the sale of all alcoholic bever-
ages to one quart person and only in
quart bottles. Maj Pullman pointed out
to Mr.. Constable that unless the one
quart plan was adopted by Baltimore
liquor dealers drastic action probably
would be taken by the government. MIR.
Constable assured Maj. Pullman that
the liquor dealers in the Monumental
the present time no information has
been received from the Baltimore au-
thorities as to whether they would put
the one-quart plan into operation. 1t
was stated authoritatively today that
unless the plan is soon put into opera
ton federal action will be taken to close
all liquor establishments in that city.
If the plan is put into operation by
the Baltimore liquor dealers it will vir-
tually put an end to the bootlegging
evil in Washington.
