HUN FOOD SITUATION
IS MOST CRITICAL
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 21-The food
situation in Germany. officials here be.
lieve, is the most critical it has been
at any time.
Information reaching Washington
from many sources indicate that even
with the reduced ration planned for
June Is, the country will not have
enough food to carry the population
through to the next harvest and that
further reduction will have to be made
The reduced rations was to have been
put into operation March l but the
measure was postponed in the hope
that grain would be forthcoming in
large quantities from the Ukraine.
When this hope vanished, the German
government saw that the reduction
was inevitable.
Germany began consuming her 1917
wheat crop two months before It was
intended to start on it and the German
potato crop has not turned out nearly
so we'll as German agricultural inter
ests had hoped

1000 feet, and fell as a blazing wreck.
Another machine was brought down
by anti-aircraft guns in London. Two
others were brought down while at
tempting to escape, one being destroy
ed by British airmen. The fifth was
set afire and fell into the sea.
A few dozen bombs were dropped
promiscuously on certain parts of the
London district doing. in a few cases
only, no inconsiderable damage TO
small dwelling houses. Two fires were
caused in large buildings, but they
were we'll under control. Some small
dwelling houses were wrecked by the
bombs and much glass was broken.

President May Decide
Extra Session of Congress

WASHINGTON, May 81. = Indica-
tons today were that President Will
son may be called upon to decide
whether congress will remain in sess-
ion after July 1. to pass new war
revenue legislation as suggested by
Secretary McAdoo.
Congressional leaders, who con.
ferred with the secretary yesterday,
were not convinced of the immediate
necessity of the legislation and were
disinclined to abandon their original
plan of adjourning in July.
Secretary McAdoo at the same time
was said to have been considerably i'm
pressed by the assertions of leaders
that it would be extremely difficult to
hold congress. Further conferences of
the subject, are looked for later in the
week, however, and in the event of a
deadlock President Wilson probably
will be called upon to speak the de-

Lemons Beauty!
Make Quarter Pint
Of Lotion, Cheap

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid. therefore irritating, and
should be mixed. with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
Of orchard white, then shake well and
you have whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice SO no pulp gets
into the bottle, then this lotion will
remain pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons

100 Airplane Stamps
Turned Upside Down
are Sold for SGT, 900
(By Associated Press)


NEW YORK, May PA sheet OF
the new postal airplane stamps, but
with the airplane turned upside down
through an error made by the bureau
of engraving and printing at Wash
ington. has been purchased for $4,000
by Col E. H. R. Green of Texas, son
of the late Hetty Green, it was learned
here today. Over a window counter
at the postoffice in Washington this
sheet sold for $s4.
So far as is known here this is the
only sheet that escaped the vigil OF
the Washington postal authorities
Three other sheets were discov cred
and were pen-cancelled SO that their
postal value was nullified and they
probably will be destroyed.
The stamps Dough. by Col. Green
were turned back by Washington
citizen at the stamp window because
the airplane was inverted. In the
line behind this citizen was a man
who sensed the phila.elic value of the
sheet and purchased it at its face
value and it reached the hands OF a
Philadelphia stamp dealer who today
received a bid of $12,500 prior to the
higher offer made by Col. Green.
Col. Green said here today that he
planned to retain portion of the
sheet for his collection and dispose oil
the other stamps among his friends
1t is predicted by Philatelists that if
the sheet proves to be the only one
in existence outside the government
ownership, the stamps will attain a
philatelic value OF $3.50 each.
