CARTER COUNTY SHOWS A
SLIGHT EXCESS OF ITS

CAMPAIGN NETS 100000.
Tabulations Give Approximately
$4,000 Above Amount Allotted,
but Needs of Organization Have
Doubled Since Campaign Was
Outlined.

Although residents of Carter

mately $50.000, about $4,000 more
than its quota, to the Red Cross sec

FLOUR PRODUCTS
CARDS IN EFFECT
PURCHASERS MUST PRESENT
CARDS WHEN BUYING
FLOUR.
ALSO APPLIES TO BREAD
Volunteer Help Made 1t Possible
for Food Administration to Mail
Cards to All Who Have Made
Application Therefor.

Beginning today no person can
purchase -four or -four products un-
less they have obtained a card, after
having filed an application therefor.
Just how nearly all the families in
the county have procured cards,
Russell Brown, food administrator
for Carter County, was unable to
state last night, but he was of the
opinion that nearly all have done
SO. He said the volume of work at
tending the receipt of the appica-
lions and issuing the cards has been
tremendous, but by the aid of VOL
unteer help he has been able to get
the cards out about as fast as the
applications have been turned over
to him. There were n few remain
ing to be mailed yesterday after
noon.
Another matter to which Mr..
Brown desired to call attention is
the fact that to secure Hour the
holding of the card alone is not
sufficient. For every pound of -four
or -four products the holder Of the
card is allowed to purchase, he must
purchase like weight, pound tor
pound. Of substitutes. such as corn
meal. oatmeal. etc. Potatoes are no
longer considered or accepted as
substitute.
No Card; No Flour.
Mr.. Brown said -four cards have
been we'll advertised and all resi-
dents Of the county have had ample
time and opportunity to make their
lprlications and secure their cards
and no excuse will be accepted tor
their failing to do SO and under no
circumstances can any one purchase
flour unless he has the proper card.
Those making applications for
cards and stating that they have
only few pounds of -four on hand.
will be allowed to keep this and
have the same deducted from their
card. A record has been made OF
all reporting an excess of more than
six pounds of -four for each member
Of the family and these will be noti-
fied by the food administrator as to
it's disposal.
The food administrator said fur
rher that efforts will be made to ap-
prehend all persons who may have
made false statements as to the
mount oi -four they had on hand at
the time of making their application
for card.
All Flour Products Covered.
The question has been raised.
chiefly by the bakers, as to sepa-
rate card being necessary for bread.
The food administrator says the one
card covers both -four and bread.
macaroni crackers and all -four
products.
Special arrangements are being
made for hospitals and for the sick.
| these will be announced at later
date.
Mr.. Brown said last night that
the food administration believes that
r the order is strictly complied
with now. that the growing crop is
such that the restrictions may be
removed after the harvest. In the
meantime, the rule will be strictly
enforced and penalties inflicted for
violations OF it.
Mr.. Brown said. speaking gener-,
ally Of the work of the food admin
ist-ation. that sufficient sugar for
canning and preserving purposes is
,eirg supplied by the grocers. their
stocks having been increased to,
meet this demand.

ton were made at the place of the
Industrial Workers of the World in
Milwaukee, Wis, after the final
break with Germany, according to

"Our bullets will not strike down

passioned anti-war speech in which
he urged overthrow of the Ameri-

1--WE can put the American army
on the bum as quickly and effective
" as we can wreck a construction
company plant" said Bourg, adding
that the members OF the organiaz
ton should begin by burning grain
fields, destroying food production
plants and wrecking munitions fac
tories.
"If the Germans strike in the east,
we should be ready to strike in the
west and bring about the complete
overthrow of the government"
Bourg was quoted as saying. He
said that Germans and rebel leaders
knew that the greater number Of
Germans in America were ready and
willing to fight the American war

OF PAST
WILL BE SALVAGED
Committee Seeks More Truck Serv-
ice Volunteers.

An old willow-ware sugar bowl
typifies the salvage warehouse and
shop. Delaware avenue and c street
northeast, as the place of all things
Of the past generation.
Beautiful in the extreme are some
of the old things. old furniture. old
brass and old pictures. The Floren-
tine mosaic picture frame is exquisite
as is that bit of carved brass.
On the other hand some of the old
things never pretended TO be anything
but useful and they look sadly neg
lected as they wait to be useful
again. Old coffee mills for instance
of which there are many seem to
know that they have lost out with
the new generation.
The atrocities of our Victorian an
cestors are also there. Strange onyx
lamps and curious tortured freaks OF
various sorts.
The lamps deserve a volume of
themselves. Every style from the
lantern that the movie hero seizes as
he hurries to rescue the heroine in the
garage to the Moorish lamp that
might grace a harem. A silver COM
munion service consisting of chalice
and goblets was contributed yesterday
by J. H--Harter, of Takoma Park.
The need for volunteer trucking
service is great and it is hoped that
many will aid the committee in get
ting the salvage from the homes of
Washingtonians TO the salvage ware
house. Last week good work has been
done by the Washington Transfer
Company, by Mays and by Guides.

CHEAP HORSES
IN MARYLAND
Havre de Grace Only Placed
Here and There with
Thoroughbreds.

Baltimore. Sept. 15.-Havre de Grace
enters upon the second week of It's
meeting tomorrow. BY this time some
idea can be formed of the effect OF
the New York competition to which
Havre de Grace and Laurel for the
most part of its meeting will be sub
jected. ~
AS far as attendance is concerned 1t
is likely that the New York competi-
ton makes very little difference. The
crowds attending the races seem quite
as large as those of previous years.
when the Maryland tracks had a free
field. 1t is in the quality of the horses
engaged that the effect OF the COM
petition is most felt. Most OF the big
stables have been held in New York
and horse OF a rather moderate class
are left to make up the programs at
'Havre de Grace. This is a good thing
for the smaller owners. as any good
platter has a chance to win something.
The Laurel people have recognized
this feature of the situation and have
raised their purses to 5000 in order
to attract better class of perform
ers and stand of the New York op-
position.
Captain PARIS sterling old jumper.
Shannon River. made his appearance
in the steeplechase yesterday and was
well played in the mutuels. The old
fellow ran a good race but seemed
to lack little OF his usual speed and
was beaten handily by New Haven
and Gold Bond. Billy Garth says the
horse does not like the Havre de
Grace field and will not do his best
though 1t.
Mary Maud is back to her best form
as she showed in the Hip, Hip
Hooray purse when she beat out the
backed horses, George Starr and
Prince of Como, winning handily and
running the three-quarters in LIZ

The disappointment of the race was
the performance of George Starr
which was only able to gather in the
short end of the purse. It is quite
likely that George Starr is only a
superior platter and is not to be count.
cd of stake class. Sandy McNaugh-
ton sold him we'll when he let him
go to Wilfred Viau for $4,000 last
spring.
The aviators who fly over the track
from the proving ground every day
are quite as much an attraction as
the races. Yesterday a whole flock
of them were in evidence and the
marvellous stunts they performed for
while made the ponies take a back
seat. A number of the skypilots
landed in the inield and some drifted
over to the betting ring and took a
shy at the iron men.

EVOLUTION OF RACES
DEFINED In LECTURE
Miss Holbrook Explains Civilization
Of Present Day.

The Tendencies Of Our CiviIiza-
ton" was the title Of the Sunday
lecture which opened the season o.
the Theosophical Society, lel6 L
street northwest
The speaker was Miss Isabel r.
Holbrook, national lecturer Of the
society.
Miss Holbrook sketched briefly the
rise Of civilizations from the evoIu-
tionary viewpoint: how each in turn.
in its races and subraces. brings
forth and develops consecutively
emotional qualities and psychological
principles in as orderly a manner as
to time, appearance and position of
dominance in the organism as that
which is manifested in the growth
and life history Of a human indi-
vidual.
Civilization OF this day. now under
the play of great contending forces
is the fifth suhrace of the Aryan,"
she said; Its measure is the evolu-
ton of the mind; and il is in the
understanding Of the duality Of mind
the lower in its concrete and mate
rial tendency downward, and the
higher in its abstract spiritual ten
dency upward-that we can find the
explanation Of the present world
events. as well as discern, through
the same means. the way out into
the bright future beyond"

SON OF PAN-GERMAN
FIGHTS WITH BRITISH
Youth Joins Enemies of Father,
Notorious Austrian Deputy.

Great CONSERVATION was caused In
Vienna recently by the announcement
that the son of Karl Hermann Wolf,
deputy OF the Austrian Reichsret, is
a soldier in the British army. Moth
ing could be more ironic, for the elder
Wolf has been a leader in propagating
hatred OF England and Is one Of the
most vigorous Of the pan-Germanists.
The events which led up TO the
boys enlistment in an allied army
are peculiar. His mother. Frau Wolf.
was given divorce from his father
in 1904, because Of the latter's extreme
brutality. To escape his prosecutions,
she went to Switzerland. and finally
to England. where she sent her son
to the English schools. Now VOLTS
own flesh and blood is fighting on
the British side. against his fathers
compatriots.
Wolf has been one OF the most
pompous and striking figures in the
Austrian ReiChsrat He is the Crea-
tor and leader OF the Hang All
Czechs" movement, which caused so
many stormy scenes in the Austrian
parliament.
