Washington Feels
Earthquake Tremors
Distinctly Perceptible Shocks
Last About Three
Minutes

WASHINGTON. April e.-Washing-
ton felt an earthquake tonight for the
first time since it was reached bv the
tremors of the great quake which shat
tered Charleston, S. c., more than
thirty years ago. The shocks though
slight were distinctly perceptible, and
nearly every family in the city had the
impression for about three minutes
that an extraordinary heavy motor
truck was passing its doors
Reports from nearby Virginia cities
indicate that the shocks We're more Sc
we're to the southwark of the capital.
Georgetown University Observatory's
sesmographs, showed, however, that
the quake really was of the faintest
character. centring probably within 200
miles. 1t began at minutes after 8
o'clock and lasted about three minutes.

SUPPLY FOR THE U. S.
Wants to Ship 10000, 600 Bushels
to This Country

SYDNEY, Australia, March ~
Australia has 15O,OOO,OOO bushels OF
surplus wheat which she wantes TO
shin to the United States and Canada
with the understanding that an equiv
aIent amount of American wheat
shall be shipped from America to Eu-
rope for the use of the people OF the
Entente nations.
Australia's offer is due to the fact
that there is not sufficient shipping
available to enable the Australian
government to ship its wheat sur
plus direct to England.
The chief question is whether the
United States can supply the snip
ming to carry the wheat from Aus
tralia to Pacific coast ports Tne
suggestion has been received from
tho limited States that Japanese ship
Ming be utilized to carry the wheat
d;rect from Australia to England, but

rooa sbips were available for that
nurnose they would be unable to
carry all Australis's surplus.

New York, March 29.-Citrus fruit
prices this week reached the peak OF
the season Not only were they the
highest of the season, but in the case
of Porto Rico oranges prices were
unprecedented. This was brought
about by endeavoring to take care Of
a 100 per cent demand with a so per

fruit receipts are both unusually
light and upon the failure of buyers
to supply their wants with fruit from
either one Of these sections they
turned to the Porto Rico variety In
the case of Florida fruit prices ad-
vanced about 81 per box day from
Monday until the end of the week.
All of the 46 cars of California or
anges were Navels and were OF salts

ed above demand was clearly in ex-
cess Of the supplies at each sale and
prices showed gradual advance un-
til they were 81 to $3.50 per box high

reached on Thursday when s1O.O5
was realized on a lot of fancy fruit.
Other fancy stock sold as low as

New Statement Issued.
The following statement relative to
the selling of food was issued by the
state food administrator yesterday:
Retail grocers of Florida should
understand that the new war flour
cannot be sold without substitutes.
War flour, as it is termed, is only
higher percentage of milled wheat,
n other words, it takes in part of
the bran which formerly was extract
ed from the wheat flour.
In all cases other darker flour
which is known as "War Flour" must
be accompanied by substitutes when
sale is made.
Pancake flour in packages must be
covered by substitutes unless they
contain a 50 per cent. mixture of
wheat substitutes. Very few of these
pancake flours contain this ratio.
All mixed flours that contain less
than 50 per cent substitutes must be
covered by a sufficient amount of
substitutes to equal the so per cent
provision.
Canned hominy, corn fakes, cream
of wheat, and other breakfast foods
are not the substitutes for wheat
-four and must not be considerd as
much.
Substitutes Enumerated

HUMAN FACE Is CHANGING.
BECOMING WEDGE.SHAPED
(By Associated Press.) J

London, March 29-The tendency
of the modern face, according to
Professor James Keith, lecturer on
Anthropology at the Royal Institute,
is to become wedge-shaped, with a
longer, narrower and more prominent
nose. Prominences above the eyes are
disappearing, and the brow is becom-
ing smooth and of an even contour.
These changes in the human face, de-
clared the scientist, are due to
changes in methods of mastication
from the earlier days of the human
race.

ing the wars carnage the number Of
births in 1916 exceeded by 277,303 tho
number of deaths, according tc the
Registrar Generals report, just made
public. The reduction in the number
of births amounted to only II per
cent. There was an unprecedentedly
low marriage rate in 1916 as COM
pared with an abnormally high one
in 1915, the decrease being attributed
to the fact that compulsion for mill
