PURE BRED CAT
TIE PROJECT
Under Direction of County
Agent Bausman

The New Castle County Farm
Bureau has approved the second
pure bred dairy cattle project.
Since the three carloads of Hol-
stein cows arrived in the county
last spring there have been numer-
Gus inquiries in regard to more of
this class of cows. AS the greater
portion of these western cows
freshen in the fall it is the desire
to bring several carloads of them
into the county this fall. Most of
these cows will be three to five
years old and will be due to fresh
en- in a few weeks. Cows of this
class with good breeding will cost
between $3.50 and $500.

SALzEDO CHARMS
MUSICAL AUDIENCE
Noted Harpist Gives Feast of Melo-
dy to Washingtonians.

The Washington audience at the
National Theater enjoyed a rare ar
tistic treat, yesterday afternoon. in
the playing of Carlos Salzedo. harp
ist, as soloist with the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra. The program,
mostly French. was one of the most
delightful of the season.
Mr.. Stokowski read the suite of
three dances by Gretry with e&-
quisite charm and rare appreciative
feeling.
Mr.. Salzedo is an accomplished mas
ter of one of the most romantic in
elegance; Debussy's "Danse SacreS"
two of the ablest Of modern French
composers in their moods of hyper
elegance: Debussy's "Danse Sacre"
and "Danse Profane;" and RaveTs
Introduction and Allegro gave Mr..
SaIzedo rich opportunities to disclose
his skill.
After these musical rose leaves, the
dashing virility of Berliozs "Carna-
val Roman" proved a welcome stiTn-
ulant. Mr.. Stokodski played it with
inspiring wealth of tone.
The program follows:
symphony No. 2, in A Minor
(Saint-Saens); ALLEGRO Marcato, ,"
"Adagio," "Scherzo-Presto," ''Prestis-
simo;" excerpts from "Cephale ct
Procris'' (Gretry0 "Tambourin," "

CONSIDERINGCENSURE
FOR Price BOOSTERS
Gasoline Pro6teers May Force Gov
eminent to Commander Supply.

Unless some Of the oil companies
relax in their demands for high
prices Of gasoline, it may become
necessary for the government to
commander their stocks" said an
official of the Fuel Administration
yesterday.
Mark l. Requa, director of the
oil division, returned to Washington
after several conferences with the
oil producers and distributors in
New York.
He would not discuss the situa-
tion. but an important order on
the situation is looked for any day.
Fuel officials declare that there
is no shortage OF gasoline except
such as may be brought about by
transportation situations. The use
of fuel oil by the army and navy
and the enormous demands for it, 1t
was explained. have brought about
a situation just the reverse of what
it was several years ago.
Then the demand for fuel oil was
small and this was a byproduct of
gasoline. Today the demand for
fuel oil is so great it has turned
gasoline into the byproduct. This
is not being consumed in quantities
proportionately to the consumption
of fuel oil.

CITIZENS FORMULATE
wage FOR TEACHERS
Cathedral Heights Members Would
Materially Advance Salaries.

Another civic body came into the
fold of advocates for a living wage
for school teachers of the District
last night when the Cathedral
Heights Citizens Association, at a
meeting in st. Adams Parish Hall,
adopted a resolution favorinE a
basic minimum pay rate of $1,000
per annum and increases of 500 per
year until $4,000 is reached.
There is nothing more important
before the association than to see
that these teachers are at least COM
pensated for their tasks in a rea-
sonable manner" said George r,
Wales, father of the resolution.
The resolution was adopted unan-
imously.
A committee of three, consisting
of George r. Wales, A. S. Field and
T. NJ. Henry was appointed to con-
fer with Commissioner Gardiner
regarding the framing of a law to
cut down the flre-insurance rates of
the District. A conference of rem
resentatives from citizens associa-
tions will be called shortly by Com
missioner Gardiner for this pur-
pose.
To secure better car service a res
olution was adopted requesting the
Capital Traction Company to ex-
tend its trackage from Calvert
street and Connecticut avenue to
Wisconsin avenue. This resolution
will be presented to the Public
Utilities Commission and to the
Capital Traction Company within
the next few days.
A letter from H. NJ. Connolly, of
the Department of Agriculture, ad-
vocating the extensive planting of
home gardens, was referred to the
committee on home improvements
for action.

Dry Solon Sees Sad Days;
Thief Swipes His Booze

He who laughs last laughs best
And SO the bunch who traverse
the long, long trail to Baltimore at
intervals have got the original hee-
haw on one who. but a short while
back, chuckled at their chagrin.
There is a certain Congressman
who welded his vesbal sword val
iantly in behalf of dry Washington
He also exerted himself for the
Federal prohibition amendment. And
when John Barleycorn made his
exit from the Capital amid the
tears and heart-wringing of the

For the Congressman has been
robbed. His trusty strongbox in
his office provided by the Federal
government has been sacked, and
the thief got away with just three
cases Of regular whisky and one
case of imported champagne.
And. so the Congressman goes
about his way. sans booze, sans
sympathy. And every step he takes
he hears that now familiar litter,
and sometimes some bold fellow
actually comes up and offers mock
compassion.
It's a sad world for folks who
preach one thing and practice an
other.

had a hand in its making The su-
perior advantages of several different
types of machines are incorporated in
this wonderful achievement of the in
ventive mind. so that in reality there
is nothing actually new about 1t. On
the other hand they are standard
parts, and in this way the new ma
chine has been built up as the COM
posite accomplishment of all the best
makes.
Diversified Selections.
For instance. a certain portion OF the
steering gear would be selected from
one type of machine. the crank from
another, some other system of wheel
from a third, and so on until the LIB
erty motor in reality is the composite
production of them all. That is why
these machines can be turned out
with such marvellous rapidity. because
it is easy enough for the manufac-
turers to grind out like sausage any
desired part.
While l60 miles an hour Is said to
be the limit of speed for those already
tested or manufactured, 1t Is claimed
that this rate in no sense measures its
full capacity in that regard. The
samples Of Curtiss airplanes now
equipped with the Liberty motors are
small in comparison with some about
to be turned out. and on the principle
of enlargement in both instances it is
said a type of battleplane can be
placed in the air that for speed and
general efficiency would stagger the
imagination.
So quickly would it be able to rise,
strike and make its getaway with
ghostlike avidity that it is declared
to be perfect wizard OF the skies in
this connection, and equipped with the
new Browning machine gun demon
strated here recently it is easy to fig
ure out what is going to happen to
the Hun bunch when Uncle Sam gets
busy and goes to the bat on a skyIark.

Food Administration Plans to Has

Recognizing the fact that the

aIimentary pastes have been slow
in procuring the necessary licenses
20 do business. as required by the
RESIDENTS proclamation Of jan
UaTy 10, because of their inability
to thoroughly digest the import of
the order, the FederaT Food Admin
istration has named a committee of
seven manufacturers from various
cities to outline a plan of education
for this particular group.
Manufacturers, and particularly
the smaller ones. the administration
says, have been dilatory in making
application for the licenses. There
fore, in order to protect them
against a heavy fine and imprison-
ment which follows dereliction of
duty, the measure in question has
been adopted.

LIBERTY MOTOR, UNDER TEST,
DISPLAYS WONDERFUL POWER
Aerial Wizards Soon to Carry Mail to New
York and Also Drop Explosives
on the Kaiser's Hordes.

Rushing through the air at a rate
Of speed that puts the railway serv-
ice in the piker class, and capable of
rising direct from the ground with
bewildering eagerness, the myriads of
new Curtiss airplanes now being man.
ufactured with mushroom rapidly
and equipped with Liberty motors as
fast as made, are pronounced wizards
by those in a position to know. Soon
the skies will be filled with them, for
it develops that they are being turned
out in wholesale fashion from plants
established all over the country.
Instead Of the one lonely machine
soaring overhead around this city,
where 1t was thought a test of the
new motor was being made, scores
have been in operation for more than
a month at various points, and the
government not only has in view a
mail and passenger service between
here and New York City. but plans
are afoot for maintaining the same
type of service between Washington
and Norfolk, Va, and it is expected
that both will be under way within
the next ten days.
Speed 100 Miles an Hour.
The speed of these machines will
be approximately 16O miles an hour
as against less than 40 miles for the
swiftest German planes. Its maneu-
vering abilities are likewise features,
for it is said to be capable of rising
direct from the ground like a flash,
thus avoiding the long glide so COM
mon in others, and answers the toucn
of the helm with an ease most grati-
flying to aerial navigators.
There Is a reason for these machines
making their unexpected appearance
in large numbers. When the first one
was designed in the basement of the
Union Station the standardization
spirit prevailed to a tremendous extent
