What Are You Doing
For Mister Bob?

- How many sportsmen of the city
or State have thought about the
plight of the Bob White this winter?
d With snowstorm following snow
storm, one mantle of glistening
flakes deposited upon another until
the countryside is buried beneath
two feet of snow, this game little
chap is having a hard time of it. Re-
ports from various sections are to
the effect that they are dying every
where from starvation and unless
systematic effort is made to get food
to them until the snow blanket
clears away, there is going to be lit
tie sport in Maryland fields for some
years to come.
The chap who gets a lot of fun in
going after the Bob White during
the open season with his gun on his
shoulder and his dog just ahead
should not mind paying for some OF
the pleasure by making an effort to
go out to those places where he has
reason to believe coveys are winter
ing and scattering around a peck OF
grain.
1t is impossible to bring relief to
all of them, but every little effort on
the part Of the gunners will help
some. The Bob White are few
enough in numbers as it is, and after
this unusually severe winter they
are going to be few and far between
in Maryland fields.
Do your bit to help save some of
those who have survived so far.

ed az Fast as Huns Build Them.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Representa-
tive Miller, who recently visited the
battlefront In France. told the hous~

destroyed In the previous two and a
half years.
He praised Vice Admiral Sims for
the methods he has adopted with the
American destroyers and cruiser con.
voys to combat the submarine men,
ace, and argued American shipping
should be handled by naval officers
md not by the shipping boards.

hEATLESS OATS
TO Be CONTINUED
Fuel Administration Will Not
ReSCind Order.
BITTER colo IS BLAMED

The Coal Movements East Of Missis,
sippi Cut Down Fifteen Per cent In
Last Two Days.
Monday will be continued indefinite

This was the unofficial admission
of the fuel administration following
a conference between Secretary Mo.
Adoo and Fuel Administrator Gar
field.
This means that unless later con-
ferences develop q change in attitude
the "heatless Monday may go to the
full stretch of ten weeks before It is
stopped. There is no indication that
1t will be extended beyond the origi-
nal ten weeks period.
Every kind of pressure had been
brought to bear upon Fue! Admins
TRAITOR Garfield to force a lifting OF
the worthless Monday" order, AMI
until the last siege of zero weather
1t was expected that the fue' a1mi--
istration would acquiesce in resrind.
ing the order.
This outcome was largely the re-
suit of the demand by the thirteen
state fuel administrators who have
been in conference for two days with
Garfield. These men, who have been
in charge of administering the work
less day order and who have borne
the burden of complaints which It pro-
voked, still insisted that the saying
in fuel and the assistance it rendered
to the overworked railroads justified
It's continuance. With this backing.
Doctor Garfield held to his position
not to lift his "worklessday" order.
At the fuel administration Offices It
was unofic cially indicated that tho
"workless Monday. would continue
Indefinitely" leaving the question
still open for later development It
Is believed that, if weather conditions
recover from the avalanche Of con.
gested freight, DR.. Garfield may con.
sent to lifting his order. 1t is posst
Bile that the question will be carried
to the White House and left in the
hands of President Wilson. However.

himself in favor o. closing order

notwithstanding, were inclined SELL to
