Keep On Keeping On.

Many people seem to think that the war
is over and that now they can cease from
their various activities here at home.
They have begun to turn a deaf ear to
the many earnest pleas coming from
various quarters for continued and even
redoubled efforts at this critical time.
They seem to overlook the very sef-evi-
dent fact that we have but reached the
vital point Of the strife and that to stop,
or even lessen. our activity will spell dis
aster for our noble cause. This is the hour
Of the supreme test for the men lover
There" and the hour Of supreme tempta-
ton for all over Here"--the temptation
to quit work, which, II yielded to. will
cripple our men Over There" and hamper
the chance for a speedy, sure and salts
factory victory. This is preeminently the
hour when we must keep on keeping on. 4"
With this in mind, may call your at
tentiOn to a matter which needs your per-
sonal and prompt assistance 1t is a war
activity so urgent in appeal and so uni
versal in scope that every man, woman
and child may, and must. help. refer to
the immediate need Of fruit pits and nut
shells. These are used in producing a
superior quality Of carbon which serves as
an absorbent in gas masks to protect our
soldiers from poisonous German gases. One
million pounds per day is needed, which
great amount can only be obtained thru
the united effort Of the people throughout
the entire country. Gather walnuts. hick-
orynuts and butternuts and save fruit pits
from peaches. prunes, etc. Seven pounds
make one GAS mask possible.
You may send your collected material
direct to the Collection Center for our Di-
vision-Mr. Mark Mellor, Red Cross Ware
house. Hagerstown. Md, or bring them to
the Local Collection Center. Reisneer Build
ing. Rockville. All should help supply our
soldier boys with the best gas masks pos
sible. as there is no more important piece
Of equipment used In modern warfare. Be
prompt to do your part and do II now.

Protest against the proposed increase OF
more than 400 per cent in the commuta-
ton rates in the first fare zone Of the
Rockville line Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company was made at a
mass-meeting at the Bethesda school
house last Monday night Patrons of the
line to the number of hundred or more
expressed indignation at the proposed in
crease and appointed a committee to lay
their side of the case before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Maryland
Public Utilities Commission.
Under the schedule of proposed rates, to
become effective December 1. commuta-
ton books in the first fare zone, ending at
Alta Vista. would cost $3.50. At present
the rate for these Communication tickets.
containing fifty-two single-trip tickets be-
tween the District Line and Alta Vista, is
$l.lO.
The schedule of new rates proposed by
the company calls for rate of $5.55 from
the second fare zone. $3.50 from the third
zone and $3.50 from the fourth zone, end
ing at Rockville. The tickets are good for
twenty-six round trips and must be used
within the month in which they are issued.
The committee named to present the
patrons side Of the case to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Maryland
Public Utilities Commission was composed
of Frank G. Heaton, E. R. Magic and A.
c. Ruebsam. Formal requests have al

trio Company are fixed by an Act of the
Maryland Legislature. this line being the
only electric line in the State on which
rat es are so fixed.

DISTRICTS.

In sad but loving remembrance Of on
darling boy. Willis Ray Brown, who was
called suddenly from this life August 23
1918.
Gone in the best of his days,
Right in his youthful bloom,
Torn from the ones that loved him
To sleep in the cold, silent tomb
We did not know the pain you bore,
And did not see you die.
We only know you went away
And never said goodbye
Oh, precious boy from us has gone,
A dear voice we loved is stilled.
A.place is vacant in our home
Which never, never can be filled.
We miss thee from thy home, dear Willis
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow DER our lives has cast
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is very dark without thee.
We miss thee everywhere.
Oh, no one knows how much we miss thee,
Dear Willis, since you went away,
But in heaven we hope to meet thee
Some glorious. happy day.
Forget thee, oh, when life shall cease
To thrill this heart of mine,
And not till then will ever forget.
One look or tone of thine.
We may strive to hide our longing
In the midst of mirth and fun,
But we are forever thinking
OF our darling departed one.
If | had seen him at the last,
And held his dying hand.
Or heard the last sigh from his heart
could not then understand.
His parents hearts. brothers and sisters
love.
Can know no great reason why
That their loved, their own, their darling
boy
Should thus be doomed to die.
Some day. perhaps. well understand.
When we meet again in the better land,
Oh, you do not know the sorrow to be
left alone
Until God sends a like message to your
home.
Sleep on, dear Willis. your labor Is DER,
Your darling hands will toll no more.
A more faithful boy, both loving and kind,
A better hearted boy no one could find
Where duty called. or danger, he was
never found wanting there.
By his sad but loving
PARENTS, BROTHERS AND SISTER.
In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear sister, Lulu B. Duley. who departed
this life three months ago. July 27, 1918.
You suffered much. you murmured not,
watched you day by day.
Until at last, with broken heart,
saw you pass away.
Oh. how hard tried to save her,
Prayer and tears we're all in vain,
Happy angels came and bore her
From this world Of toll and pain.
Gone in the best of her days,
Blighted in womanhood's bloom,
Torn from those that love her
To rest in the silent tomb
You have left me forever. dear sister.
Who loved you better than all,
lived for you, dear, while you were here,
You we're my life. my all.

Your eyes | am loving to see,
I'll never forget you, dear sister,

And though the circle is broken,
And parting has filled me with pain.

The bright hope Of meeting again.

MIX Regulations VIII Undergo
Revision.

WashinetOns milk regulations may be
extensively revised as result of steps
taken by the District and Federal govern
ments today to insure the absolutely SAM
tary handling Of the capitals milk supply.
The entire milk situation is TO be inves-
tieated by a committee consisting of Health
Officer William G. Fowler. representing the
District Of Columbia; DIR. f. II. Price,
United States public health service. and a
representative Of the bureau Of animal
industry Of the Department Of Agriculture
to be named.
The committee will investigate pasteuri-
cation Of milk in the District. Every pro-
cess through which milk passes from the
time It leaves the farms until II reaches
the consumer will be investigated. Regu-
lations OF prices 10 without the scope Of in
quiry, but sanitation will be inquired into
from every angle.
Wide latitude as to making recommen-
dations that will promote sanitation is
given the committee. That the recon-
mendations will result in a big shake-up
in the present regulations Is considered
probable The committee has not set
date for its organization meeting. but it is
understood that it will take up the work at
once and complete ii as soon as possible.

Would Increase Fares On Its
Suburban Lines.

The Washington Railway and Electric
Company and it's affiliated lines have filed
an application with the Interstate Com
merce Commission asking authority to in
crease the fares on all their suburban
lines in the Maryland jurisdiction. The
matter has also been presented to the
Maryland Public Utilities Commission.
The petition asks authority to increase
the zone rate from S to 9 cents.
The reason for asking such increase is
the high cost of material and labor, SINH
lar to the plea made to the District of
Columbia Public Utilities Commission and
which has been granted. II the traction
company is authorized to make the asked
for increases commuters will be taxed 20
per cent above the rates they are now
paying.
A conservative estimate places the num-
Der of persons who are patrons of the sub
urban lines and who will be affected II
the asked for rates 60 into effect at TO-
600. The new rates in all probability
will 60 into effect December LIST and will
cover straight fares and Communication tick
cts on the Cabin John line, the City and
Suburban Railway. the Washington Inter-
urban Railway, the Washington and Rock
vile Railway and the Forest Glen Rail-
way.
The greastest increase asked for will be
in the first zone. where an increase is
asked Of 20 per cent on the twenty Eight trip
Communication tickets, which would mean
anincrease of ST per month on Communication
tickets in the first zone. with a gradual
decrease as the outer zones are reached,
when the increase would be so cents
The zone tickets would be as follows
First, $3.50; second, SIS. SIS third, 1888
fourth, ST 80. and fifth. So. so. There would
be an increase of something like roper cent
on school tickets. making the tariffs on
trolley lines approximately the same as
on the steam lines, which now charge 10 to
20 per cent more. Washington Star Of
