GOVERNMENT NEEDS
MORE STENOGRAPHERS

The Government needs stenograph-
ers and typewriters. a public examl-
nation for which will be held on Tues
dav of each week for appointment TO
positions in the Field Service, Wash
ington. d. c.. and a few other places
in the Fourth District. Many appli-
cants are of the opinion that positions
in the Field Service, Fourth District,
will give them employment outside of
washington. d. c.. only. The fact OF
the matter is that since the beginning
Of the war. a large number of Field
Service positions have been created
in the District OF Columbia, and this
office has been unable TO maintain
registers ample to meet the calls oil
the appointing officers in the District
of Columbia for stenographers and
typewriters.
There are existing vacancies IN
stenographic positions at Washington,
Baltimore. Norfolk, Havre de Grace,
and Richmond, and typist vacancies in
these and other cities. These offer
immediate prospects of appointment
for all qualified applicants.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces an open com
petitive subclerical examination, for
men only. Vacancies in the Field
Service, Fourth Civil Service District,
in the positions of messenger, skilled
laborer, and Waterman, at 5000 to 1920
a year, or higher or lower entrance
salaries, viii be filed from this exami-
nation, unless it is found in the inter-
est of the service to fill any vacancy by
reinstatement, transfer, or promotion.
The term skilled laborer" as herein
used is not intended to embrace the
mechanical trades, which are common
ly referred to as skilled labor. In the
present meaning a skilled laborer is
one whose duties are general or mis-
eellaneous, below the clerical and
minor grades, and above the grade of
mere manual labor. Appointment to
one of the positions will operate TO re-
move the name of an eligible from the
register for all of them.

COOLER WEATHER
WELCOMED BY ALL

A sixteen degree drop in the tenn
perature is not to be sneezed at, and
that is what sweltering, limp, broiling
stewing, frying humanity has today.
In lieu of the los in the shade of
yesterday and some other days for the
past week or two, today's temperature
at even p. m. was only SO, with cool
breezes and no humidity to speak of.
There is no General in the Kaiser's
Army that is more universally hated
than General Humidity, here, and his
absence today is gratefully appreciat-
ed. Yesterday on the streets, the siz-
cling from the sidewalk heat, met the
sizzling heat of the air above and both
pressed upon the pedestrian with un-
speakable force that a cool June and
early July does not forecast a cool
summer.
The relief today is a grateful change
from the past few days, that thunder
storms only seemed to make worse, not
better.

SLIGHT FIRE AT THE
u. S. NAVAL ACADEMY

A slight fire created something of
stir in Annapolis and at the Naval
Academy just at the height of yes
terday afternoons electrical storm
and downpour of rain, when the
screech of the Naval Academy siren
called out the Academy fire fighters,
and the fremen from Annapolis three
companies. The blaze, on the roof of
the new wing of Bancroft Hall now
under construction, was caused by a
timer having left his charcoal fur
mace burning on the roof when he was
driven in by the rain. The wind blew
sparks from the furnace into a pile
of charcoal nearby and started right
busy little blaze, which. however, was
soon extinguished While the Annap-
oils firemen, in accordance with the
reciprocal arrangement between the
town and Academy, responded to the
alarm. their assistance was deemed
unnecessary and their apparatus was
not taken inside the reservation.

PRACTICAL WAY TO
PUNISH DIABOLISM

The American Defense Society is
calling for pledges agreeing not to
purchase anything made in Germany.
This is work that meets the heartiest
appreciation. II is not spite nor hatred
or anything OF the sort. II is hard
common sense. and appreciation of
justice. a using Of a powerful weapon
against a detestabie enemy. Every
American can make his power felt in
this hold. by positively refusing to
spend a cent now or hereafter for any
thing made in Germany.
Within few days Germany has
thrown the last shred of deeeney, civ
ilization and humanity to the waves
and has announced her intention of
sinking hospital ships wherever found.
This she does with a deliberate and
conscious lie on her lips She does it
because of her complete adoption of
Satan and all his hellishness. This
makes her pariah, leper among the
nations. She has chosen to be an out
cast and an outlaw and as such most
take the treatment she has invited.
Out Why 10 hAtht AebA AS'tAS anu 1P
ply punishment is to refuse to do bust
ness with her after the war. Now is
the time to make sure that the pun
ishment is applied. Every American
can and should take this obligation.
That we do not require anything
made in Germany-inCluding the Ian
guage-is made plain by our expert
ence during the war. We have had
several years Of almost entire freedom
from German-made things and we have
not suffered. We would be still better
OF by declaring complete industrial
independence and positively refusing
90 purchase single German article
for at least a century. Bristol

HOUSEKEEPER HAS
HER OWN OPINION
On The Sugar Situation - Thinks
Food Administration Radi-
cally Wrong

Writing to the Baltimore Sun on the
sugar situation" Housekeeper OF that
city. has the following:
1T appears TO the writer the Food
Administrator is radically wrong in
one thing at least-sugar.
is it economy to deprive ourselves
of necessaries now in order to provide
a cloying excess for next winter?
Preserves are generally composed
of equal quantities of fruit and sugar.
They are not only allowed but ad-
vised. but fresh fruit for the topping
off of a frugal meal now is put out or
our reach. because il calls for tenth
of its weight in sweetening.
Two pounds of sugar per month for
each person. that is three and one-half
teaspoonsfull a day. will not spread
over cereal at breakfast, and fruit for
the other two meals.
The plainest kind of cake once a
week is impossible with such an al
lowance, yet candy and CONNECTIONS are
made and sold as freely as ever.
This is a discrimination against the
home as well as against tasteful and
wholesome food
"In making candy and ice-cream
thousands of pounds of sugar are used
each month; these are unnecessary
luxuries, and the family should not
suffer to provide them.
Many people will not only get all
the sugar they can by any trick, but
use it as they please. Signing card
means few strokes of a pencil to
them, nothing more. II is only those
with conscience who are bothered by
the Administrator restrictions, and
for that reason it would be better to
distribute a reasonable quantity to be
used as, and when the individual sees
fit.
Changing the subject, permit me to
say, it is not necessary to remind us
that the Administrator is not consid-
ering the housekeeper's purse, but we
recall it resentfully when the farmer
offers us box of berries, half trash,
for 25 cents, the kind he could not
have asked six cents for four years
hago, 1t is not patriotism to give him
his price That price could not be
more surely lost to the country any
where than in the farmers pocket.
But what's the use?"

BIBLE INSTITUTE
MAKES CHICAGO BASE

Chicago has recently been honored
by visits from two distinguished rep
resentatives of France and Great Brit
ain. the Rev. Reuben Saillens, d. D.,
of Paris, who came to America to tell
of his country's sacrifices in the war,
and the Rev. J. Stuart Holden, d. D.,
Vicar of ST. Paul's, London, who was
charged with special mission for the
British Government, the nature of
which was not publicly disclosed.
Both made the Moody Bible Institute
a kind of base in Chicago, addressing
the faculty and students and giving
some time each day to personal con-
versations with the latter, and both
stirred their audiences to the depths
for God and country and world liber-
ty and world, evangelization.

Gently sustained.

COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING
BUT MARINE CORPS

John A. Ayars and George w. Ay-
airs, of this city, are twins. George
enlisted in the Naval Reserve last
month. John couldn't ''see" anything
but the Marine Corps, so he enlisted
with the devil dogs. All their lives
the twins had been inseparable. They
were anxious 10 serve their countrF.
but the separation proved unendur-
able. Mrs. Ayars, learning that her
twin boys were unhappy, went to
Washington and succeeded in getting
George discharged from the Naval Re
serve so that he could enlist in the
Marine Corps.
The twins, hpapily reunited, are now
both of them devil dogs. and have been
transferred TO the Marine Corps camp
at Paris Island. They viii be assign
ed to the same organization while I'M
dergoing training, and whenever they
go away for active duty they will be
kept in the same outfit.

A NICE LITTLE
PIECE OF SUGAR
Which Will Not Coat Germany's
Bitter Pill - 10000 Tons
Headed For Germany
WAS HELD UP IN FRANCE

When you say it quick thousand
tons OF sugar seems a small amount.
But when you sit down to contemplate
Il you begin TO realize that even in
normal times a thousand tons is a con
siderable quantity and that in these
days OF sugar scarcity il is a great deal
more.
Put it in simple terms and you sit
up. You cannot imagine, much less
count. the number OF cups Of coffee
that Il would sweeten or the millions
Of threelayer. home grown chocolate
cakes that it would make. Reduce it
TO ginger ale or lemon pop and the
thirsts that il would quench would
turn all the camels in the world into
teetOtallers for envy.
Or. IL you happen 10 have a small
boy handy. call him in and ask him If
there is half an ounce Of sugar in an
all-day sucker how many suckers your
100000 pounds Of sugar will produce.
Perhaps you may even be able to figure
IL out yourself.
Anyway, while you are getting at
the result, you might like to know that
for three years thousand tons Of
first-grade American sugar has been
lying In a French warehouse TO keep
Il safe from German hands. For three
years watchmen have been guarding
IL day and night And for three years
they have been lighting the rate, the
wOuld-be thieves and the weather con
ditions to have that sugar sweet and
clean, ready for shipment on the short
est possible call
It's said that Swiss agents bought
the sugar. But the French authori-
ties, suspicious OF the quantity, did a
little grubbing round, with the result
that they became reasonably certain
that the sugar would go straight
through to Germany Wherefore they
took charge of 1t on its arrival and
packed il away in a warehouse, far,
far from the Fatherland
OF course the owners protested. The
French merely smiled and hung on.
They had the sugar safely tied up, and
they kept IL so until some weeks ago
when they and the American authori-
ties got together to decide on its dis
position. Not 10 be mean about it,
they agreed that the sugar should be
put up at auction, and sold TO the
highest bidder Out Of the total the
original owners were TO get their
share.
Several big private sugarusing con
Germs soon heard of the proposed auc-
tion nd got on the trail. So did the
Y. NJ. G. A. which was just then in
need of sugar TO keep it's factories
running full time The "Y" bid top
ped all others and got the sugar.
The "Y" could have made many,
many things from that sugar. But the
supply department agreed that choco-
late was the article most in demand;
and. ever since, the factories have
been mixing the sugar into chocolate
bars.
The thousand tons will soon come
forth in 100000 bars of the finest
eating chocolate. And when the sol
diers who get that chocolate learn that
the sugar in them was intended for
German tummies, can't you picture the
grins that they will wear?
Can't you now?

Great Britain And Canada Enter
Into Treaty And Make
Regulations
STATE LAWS FOR 1918

For the further protection of the
migratory birds OF America. United
States. Great Britain and Canada en-
tered into treaty for the protection
of said birds and permitted the Agri-
cultural Department to make regula-
tions covering such birds.
Pursuant to this authority the Agri-
cultural Department has promulgated
the following regulations, which were
approved by the President. and became
effective and in full force July 31st,
1918. The most important changes
effecting Maryland are as follows:
l No wild fowl shall be shot with a
gun larger than a ten-guage gun.
2. 1t absolutely prohibits the sale at
all times of migratory birds, including
ducks, excepting those ducks which
have been reared in captivity under a
permit.
8. 1t absolutely prohibits at all
times of the year the killing of reed
birds in the United States.
A. 1t prescribes an open season for
doves from September list TO December
18th, inclusive.
5. 1t provides for the following Bag
Limits:
Ducks Except wood duck, and elder
ducks which are protected at all
times,) 25 in the aggregate of all
kinds. Brant, s.; rails, coot and gallii
mules, % in the aggregate Of all kinds;

ions provide that all United States Of

ion of the Supreme Court will be ne
cessary to Immediately enforce these
regulations.
STATE LAW AS TO GAME FOR 1918.
Doves, State law provides open sea-
son August 18th to December 18th.

Federal regulations and doves cannot
be killed until Sept. LIST, 1918. Acts of
1916, Chapter 56S, prohibit the hunt
ing or killing of wildfowl between
March 18th and Nov. 1st. Therefore it
is unlawful under the State law to kill
or have imp ossession before Nov. 1st
any Summer or Wood Duck

Note The Conservation Commits
sion of Maryland had no notice what
ever of the intention of the Govern
ment to make the changes as to reed
birds and doves A copy of the regu-
lations received from the Department,
after the signature of the President
had been affixed was our first intima-
ton that any changes would be made.
We were not consulted and are not re-
sponsible for these regulations. We
publish them merely as information.
