Vigorous steps to stamp out
boarding OF flour and sugar by
consumers in Tacoma are to be
taken by the food administration,
it was learned today, following a
visit to Tacoma of Charles Heb
berd, state food administrator.
Each householder is being par
ticularly urged by County Food
Administrator III. s. Griggs to con-
slider himself a special agent OF
the government to report any
cases of boarding or other viola
tons of the food regulations.
Hebberd spent almost the entire
day Thursday comforting with Ia
coma bakers, confectioners, maca-
roni manufacturers and retail
merchants on the food administra-
ton ruling, limiting the trade In
sugar and flour for the next six
months to 20 per cent Of what II
was a year ago.
Want Modification.
All but the Retail Grocers' as
ISOLATION asked for a modification
of the ruling, declaring that II
would be next to impossible to
comply with 1t because OF the
enormous increase in population
since last year, the coming Of the
cantonment, and the resulting big
increase in trade. The bakers,
for instance, declared the sale Of
pies, in some cases, has increased
nearly 4 900 per cent, and that to
cut off the supply to 70 per cent
Of what 1t was year ago would
be ruinous.
They figured Tacoma's consum-
ing population has gained between
35 and 40 per cent.
The retail grocers, at their
meeting with Hebberd Thursday
night voted to stand back of the
food administration In the ruling.
Using Substitutes.
The demand for wheat substi-
tutes has been increasing rapidly.
This, coupled with the fact that
housewives, instead OF baking
their own substitute bread, are
turning to the new substitute
bread put out by the bakers, con

Gentle Birth

"But all social systems ro-
auire some who shall appor-
ton both tasks and rewards.
Now it is obvious, since the
greater good to all will be st>-
cured by the service of each
in that capacity for which
his mental. physical and
financial means hest fit him,
that these functions of gov
crnment must be assigned to
the men of gentle birth, OF
independent means, Of liberal
education, who arc hest fit
ted to assume them"

Every day the great principles for

make It clearer what tho end must be

It grows clearer and clearer what SUI

STEEL MASTERS HIT
IN ORDER BY MARCH
Army VIII Not Buy Furniture
in Which Metal IL Used.

ePe''ef DocputCN 70 IHE Sun.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.-Economy In
the use OF steel by every branch of the
War Department was asked to-day by
Gen. Peyton G. March In a general
order. The unnecessary use Of steel In
furniture, beds, tables, chairs, filing
cabinets and containers is mentioned
specifically in the orders and the pur-
chasing officers OF the army are asked
not to buy these articles when made
either wholly or In large part of steel.
The order Of Cen March follows
closely the appeal OF the War Indus
tries Board yesterday to the manufac-
turers OF the country to refrain from
using unneeded quantities Of metal, es-
peclally steel, in making Furniture and
equipment in which wood can be used as
a substitute. These measures, as Gen.
March explains. have been made neces-
sary by the acute shortage Of STEEL
The furniture makers have been asked
Also to reduce the quantities OF brass
and other metals that are used in the
production of furniture.
An increase OF 90 cents in the price Of
pig iron was considered by representa-
tves of the pig iron industries and the
price fixing committee Of the War In
dustries Board to-day. Announcement
Of the decision of the conference was
withheld pending submission to Presi-
dent Wilson.

Rev. Henderson and over $1,000 was
raised there. Bethlehem contributed
something more than $500 in the same
manner.
Last night an enthusiastic meet
ing was held in Pinewood. Here Prof.
p. Marion Rucker of the University of
South Carolina delivered a scholarly
address. He was ftTowed by L: D.
Jennings, Esq, of Sumter, who is
we'll known to Clarendon audiences as
a forceful speaker. When subscrip-
tions were called for the people re-
sponded as literally as they had in
other portions of the county and over
5000 was pledged.
The committee feels that every one
in the county should be given an op-
portunity to subscribe to this, prob
ably the worthiest of all causes, and
TO that end they are canvassing the
districts which may not have been
reached through these meetings. The
pledges obtained by them bring the
total up to $21,500.
One OF the most prosperous and pa
trlotlc sections of the county-SaIem
will be reached Friday when bas-
ket picnic will be held near Sardinia.
Here marine band and several mill
ltary men will be the attractions. The
whole county is expected to be pres
ent on that day.
The campaign will close here on
Sunday when Private Jackson of the
Canadian Forces, and Lieut.. Picrret
of the French army and Roy Dan
iel, "a Red Cross Field Worker who
has been abroad with the Red Cross
forces and can tell of the work there
from his own experience, will speak.
Though Clarendon's record so far
in the campaign is one to be proud
of, the workers will not desist in their
efforts until the campaign closes,
when they hope to bring the total up
to $4,000.

No PENSIONS PAID
IN Land OF ENEMY
United States Pensioners in Teuton
Countries Cut Off
NOT RESUMED TILL PEACE
In Germany 371 Americans Residing
Who Are Entitled to
Pensions

Washington, May 90 United
States Pensioners living in Germany
and Austria, who have been drawing
money from the American Govern
ment, by reason Of their services in
! the civil war or for other reasons,
have had their allowances cut off be-
cause of their residence IN enemy ter
ritory. Payment of pensions will not
be resumed until peace is declared.
Congress has been told, although al
lowances are sent regularly to those
residing in the countries allied against
Germany and Austria or in neutral
lands.
A report submitted to Congress
shows that in the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1917, there were 371 Ameri-
cans residing in Germany entitled to
| pensions under the laws of this coun-
try, and that in Austria-Hungary
there were twenty-seven pensioners.
These facts were discussed in the
Hous recently when a bill increasing
the pension of civil war veterans to a
minimum of $25 month was under
consideration.
Veterans Of the civil and Spanish
wars entitled to pensions from the
United States are living in all parts
Of the world and bill is now pend
ing in congress to exclude pension
privileges to all except those living in
the United States or its possessions
Residences of foreign pensioners in
clude Algeria, the Bahamas, Barba-
dos, Borneo, Cape de Verde Islands,
China, Comoro Islands, Egypt, East
Africa, India, Isle of Pines, Liberia,
Mexico, Russia, Samoa, Serbia, Sew
chelles Islands, Siam, Tonga Islands,
European and Asiatic Turkey.
All pensioners living in those places
and a score Of other foreign lands are
receiving pensions regularly, the re-
port to Congress shows, and would re-
ceive the benefits of the increases pro-
posd in the new law, while those in
Germany and Austria are excluded.
The total number of pensioners re-
siding in foreign countries, including
Germany and Austria Hungary, is H.
085, and the total amount paid them
in the last fiscal year amounted to
$929,76769, the report to Congress
shows.
