U. S. NEEDS TYPIsTs

Over 10000 men and women having
a knowledge of stenography and type
writing, or typewriting only, can be
employed at present in the govern
ment service. With the rapid expan-
sion of the work of departments and
bureaus on account of war details,
the need of secretaries and copyists
has increased. The Civil Service
Commission, consequently urgently
appeals to those qualified with this
knowledge to aid. Women, especial
ly, who cannot take up arms in de-
Tense of their country can neverthe-
less, by their services as stenograph-
ers and typists in governmental
offices, help materially in defeating
cohorts of the Kaiser
Uncle Sam pays stenographers and
typists $1,000 a year. The usual
hours of service are from 9 a. m. to
4.30 D. m. Promotion is reasonably
rapid Special barracks are being
built in Washington for the accomo-
dation OF this clerical army, thus set
Ting the housing question problem

tering the government service.
To prepare candidates for these po-
sitions the Young Mems Christian
Association, Franklin and Cathedral
streets, Baltimore, will conduct an
other special course in typewriting
This new class will organize on Fri
day evening, August 80, at s o'clock
and will begin practice on Tuesday
evenings each week for eight weeks
By special methods the student will
be able to write 80 to 40 words per
minute at the end of that time. Some
do better, writing 20 and so words
per minute The instruction is given
by Messrs. Louis ". Guise and H. C.
Bickel, under the direction of Mr.
Maynard A. Clemens.
Civil service examinations are held
as soon as the candidates finish. Al
the last examination, held on August
9, about 100 women took the test, the
majority of whom passed. Many
have already been appointed.

AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

Charles Ray, in an extremely in
teresting and thrilling story, 1.-THE
Claws of the Hun" viii be the very
pleasing attraction at the Colonial
this evening.
John Stanton long has desired to
enlist for duty somewhere in
France" but his mother, who is ill
and fearful, exacts a promise from
him not TO enlist, because she could
not survive his departure for the
front. He is called a Stacker by his
friends and when his sweetheart
treats him coIdly he is in despair. In
his fathers safe reposes the formula
OF high explosive entrusted to him
by the United States Government.
But the young mans chance TO prove
the falsity of the charge OF Stacker,
against himself appears and he takes
full advantage of the opportunity
when at the risk of his own life, he
illustrates the plot of German spies to
steal from his father the formula en-
trusted to him. The young man near
ly loses his life in the battle, but he
energies a victor with great honors
He then learns that his father has
bribed a physician TO assert that his
(the son's) heart is weak OF course
when Stanton's mother comes to a
full realization OF the danger in this
country of Hun espionage and of the
necessity of combating enemies
abroad as well as at home, Stanton is
permitted to refute the charge of be-
ing Stacker by enlisting in the
Army.
Charles Rays portrayal of the
character of a patriotic young Ameri-
can is excellent. 1t is convincing and
is faithful picture of the youth who
is face to face with duty and later is
compelled to choose between it and
filial affection.
Jane Nowak, as the heroine of the
story, evinces considerable ability as
well as charm of manner and beau
ty that render her ideal in the part.
THE Claws of the Hun" is a pic
ture that will hold a great interest
for all who witness it, Don't fail to
see it. Pathe News also.

SUGAR TO GO UP
ONE CENT PER POUND
Probably Within Month Price
Will Advance One Cent Per
Pound
cHEcKMATE PRoFITEERS

Chunks of sweetness come high,
but we must have them. The price of
sugar has been yacillating for some
time. and, according to official fore
cast. il is about to change again.
Some time in the near future-prob-
ably within a month-sugar is going
to advance in price.
The retail cost TO the consumer now
is 9 cents per pound. The proposed
increase will be approximately l cent
per pound over the counter, making
sugar 10 cents a pound.
Advice of the increase came to Mr..
William H. Maltbie, Acting Food Adj
ministrator for Maryland, in an Off
cial communication from Food Ad
ministration headquarters in Wash
ington.
The situation is this: The distribu-
ton of sugar all over the United
States is under the direction and SUI
pervision of the Sugar Equalization
Board. body created July 1, the
duties and powers of which are SINH
lar to those of the Grain Corporation.
This board has realized that an adj
vance i'm the selling price of sugar
soon will be necessary. At the pres
ent labor cost, it is said, it is impos-
sible to bring about a stimulation of
the beet. or domestic, sugar industry.
Unless this industry is stimulated
unless the profits TO the producer are
made sufficiently attractive to cause
him TO produce to the utmost-the new
domestic sugar crop, due to arrive on
the market some time in October,
isn't going to be what it might be in
volume. Then the sugar situation will
be worse than ever.
Taking no chances, the Sugar
Equalization Board has determined
that there shall be an advance all
along the line "at an early date" No
definite date has as yet been estab-
lished
To prevent profiteering by distribu-
tors who may have accumulated large
stocks of sugar at the present prices
and who may attempt to sell at the
increased price, the Equalization
Board will, on given date, buy up all
the sugar in the country and immedi-
ately sell it back again to the present
holders at approximately 1 cent per
pound advance.
at MEANS" Mr.. Maltbie explained,
that the government, now that it
realizes an increase in sugar costs is
necessary, isn't going to stand for any
pPofiteering. In order to see that re-
finers and distributors shall not profit
unduly, the Equalization Board will
take over all the sugar in the land
and selh it back to the holders of it
right away. This will automatically
equalize profits"

WAR PROFITS TAX AND
EXCESS PROFITS TAX

BY war-profits tax we mean tax
upon profits in excess of those realized
before the war.
BY an excess-profits tax we mean
a tax upon profits in excess of a given
return upon capital.
THE theory of a war-profits tax is
to tax profits due to the war.
THE theory of an excess profits tax
is to tax profits over and above a given
return on capital. The excess-profits
tax falls less heavily on big business
than on small business, because big
business is generally overcapitalized
and small businesses are often under
capitalized.
The war-profits tax would tax all
war profits at one high rate; the ex-
cess-profits tax does and for safety
must tax all excess profits at lower and
graduated rates"
The above extract from Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo's testimony
before the House Ways and Means
Committee gives his differentiation be-
tween war-profits and excess-profits
taxes and explains his position in urg-
ing upon Congress an excess-profits
tax with an alternative war-profits tax
in the forthcoming revenue legislation
To the average citizen Secretary
McAdoo's position seems well taken.
Most small and local corporations are
capitalized at an actual valuation.
Many of the very large corporations
are greatly overcapitalized; the stock
of some of them has been repeatedly
watered. With only an excess-profits
tax a corporation earning 10 per cent
on grossly watered capital will pay
the same tax as another corporation
not overcapitalized earning 10 per cent
on the real, actual valuation of the
money and property invested in its
business. The profits of the first cor
poration might be 80 per cent on its
actual valuation, and it is to cover
such cases that war-profits tax is
urged.
As many of these large corporations
are engaged in Government work and
drawing huge sums from the United
States, it seems particularly just that
they should pay taxes on the same
actual basis as corporations not over
capitalized A tax that taxes equally
a 10 per cent profit on watered CAPT
tai and 10 per cent profit on unwater-
ed capital is not equal and uniform
and scarcely just.

Delightful Constance Talmadge, in

Good Night Paul." will be the ex-
tremely enjoyable attraction at the
Colonial tomorrow, matinee and even
ing.
The photoplay was adapted from
the current musical comedy success
of the same name, in which Ralph
Herr made a distinct hit on Broadway
and in the larger cities. Walter Ed
wards, who directed the picture, has
aptly termed it 1.-THE comedy of a
thousand laughs" and it is verit-
able bonaza of wholesome comedy

and occasional thrills.

AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

The William Fox 1918 version of
1.-THE Plunderer," which will be
shown at the Republic Theatre to-
morrow, is crowded with thrills. In
the very beginning of the screen
story William Farnum, who is the
star of the picture, is made prisoner
in a mine when his enemies roll a
giant stone down the mountainside
and into the mouth of the mine. His
struggle to get out and to save his
companion keeps the viewer on edge
all the time Then there is the strike
of the miners working for Farnum,
which is followed by the blowing up
of the reservoir that gives power for
the working of the mine. Other
thrills are worked in and finally the
big one-the bare-handded fight be-
tween Farnum and about twenty
husky miners. If Shakespeare were
alive today he, too, would call it
Some Scrap"
Two love affairs run through the
picture and come out to happy end
ings.

ALL RICE

The line passed slowly between the
rail and the counter, at the Food Ad-
ministratien cafeteria. Here was a
petty officer, in starched whites" be-
hind him two captains from the Q. Nj

tie brown casseroles,
At the trays of breads, the petty
officer hesitated. One was piled
high with s-suspiciously white
looking. He started to take one, then
asked the woman behind the counter
"All wheat?"
"All rice" she replied
He helped himself and went on.
After ham, the tall captain absently
took a muffin. then he looked NJ
guiltily. "All wheat -

FEDERAL GAME LAWS
AFFECT MARYLAND
Prohibit The Sale OF All Migratory
Birds. Also Stops The Killing OF
Reed Birds

For the further protection of the
migratory birds the United States,
Great Britain and Canada entered into
a treaty and permitted the Agricul-
tural Department to make regulations
covering such birds.
Pursuant to this authority the Agri-
cultural Department has promulgated
the following regulations, which were
approved by the President, and be-
came effective and in full force July
81, 1918 The most important changes
effecting Maryland are as follows:
NO wild fowl shall be shot with
gun larger than a ten-guage gun.
PIT absolutely prohibits the sale
at all times of migratory birds, includ-
ing ducks, excepting those ducks
which have been reared in captivity
under permit.
3-It absolutely prohibits at all
times of the year the killing of reed
birds in the United States.
At prescribes an open season for
doves from September / to December
Is, inclusive
Sit 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 gal
linules, 25 in the aggregate of all
kinds; jacksnipe, Is; doves, 25.
6-The following open seasons are
provided: Waterfowl, coot, gallinules

November l to December 81 Doves,
September / to December Is.
Regulation No. prescribes the
manner in which migratory birds
legally taken may be transported in or
out of the State. The treaty provi-
sions provide that all United States
game wardens shall have the power
to arrest without warrant and all
United States officials have the same
power, provided they see the viola
ton.
These regulations under the treaty
do away with the old regulations I'M
der the federal statute, and no de-
cision of the Supreme Court will be
necessary to Immediately enforce
these regulations.

WHAT VICTORY OR
DEFEAT MEANS

CWritten by Fannie Hurst for the Ma
tionaI Security League)
In motion picture house the other
evening, l saw a fade-out of a sage,
kindly, twinkling Uncle Sam slowly
and subtly supplanted by cruel,
menacing face beneath a tin helmet.
A shudder rippled over the audi
ence. 1t was as if the mailed fist had
raped sharply, ominously.
Then, through the fog of war, came
the kindly face again, little tiredly,
a little lined, but the old slow smile
there and the eyes at Peace.
1t is up to every American man,
woman and child to bring just that to
pass. The tin helmet is lowering over
the world. It's descent would be SO
punitive that if more of us realized
its steely horror, it's weight, its OPP
pressiveness, our pacifists and luke
warm patriots would be Jared into a
realization that peace can be worse
than war.
The victory of Germany would
mean a Prussianization of the Stars
and Stripes, each star state-oi
subservience.
At every Americans shoulder
breathing on his neck. would stalk a
shadow of the Kaiser.
Little children, nutured in the sun
of democracy, would feel the tight
ening. pointed fingers of the mailed
fist in their tender flesh.
1t is a great menaeing shadow W
there against the sky of the world
that cruel. blood-thirsty face beneath
the tin helmet.
1t is going to take the love, the 10y
atty, and the give-an spirit of every
American to blot into a permanent
fade-out. and to replace it with that
kindly, bearded face beneath the
stars and Stripes stove-pipe.

CONSERVATION OF CREDIT

Not only should the goods and labor
of the Nation be conserved for the
prosecution of the war; the credit of
the Nation must be conserved for the
same purpose.
This is being impressed upon the
banks, and it should be impressed upon
the people, too-the borrowers from
banks.
All of the banks of the country are
being urged by the Federal Reserve
Board to curtail their loans. They are
urged to loan money only where the
borrower is going to use it in some
winning the war.
This policy is not aimed at hamper
ing legitimate business. 1t aims TO
help win the war, which is the best
thing possible for business. 1t simply
means that money wanted for nones-
sential purposes should be refused
Let the nonessentials wait until the
war is finished. The Government
needs the money to carry on the war
The farmers, the men and the indus
tries engaged in war work or engaged
in producing things needed for the
efficiency both of our soldiers and Of
our home people, need the credit to
carry on their enterprises.
Merchants should not borrow money
to stock up on luxuries or things that
the people should not buy at this time.
No one should borrow money now TO
spend needlessly or extravagantly.
Unnecessary building, unneeded arti-
Giles, unessential enterprises should all
await the ending of the war.
The Federal Reserve Board points
out that in the interest of successful
Government financing it would be
much better for the banks to hold
credit within reasonable bounds by
intelligent cooperation rather than 10
discourage borrowing by charging high
interest rates. The people should CO.
operate with the Government and the
