Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January /, Australia had
stored 100.000,oo0 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of SO,0OO,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1so,o0o,o00 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
7o,0o0,o00 bushels of wheat
stored for export During April
60.00o,00o bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 1876. .000,O to
the left over.
1t Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
worid-it is entirely problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

Unable To Learn Cause of Flu

A Boston dispatch of recent date
says experiments have been under,
taken by the navy department at the
navy hospital on Gallup's island to
ascertain the cause of influenza and
have been merely negative. accord
ing to a report given out. One hum
dred volunteers,swho have been under
observation for several weeks, have
had influenza germs placed in their
nostrils and threats, have eaten them
with their food and some have been
inoculated with serums, but no cases
of the disease have developed thus
far. Increased appetite and more
vigorous health have been the only
results of the experiment, according
to physicians. The tests will con-
tinue.

AS APPLIED TO INFLUENZA

An Arab fable has it that a travel
er met the Plague going to pay a
visit to Cairo, and out Of curiosity
asked this distinguished parsonage
how many he was going to kill. The
answer was to the point: Three
thousand
The same traveller met the same
parsonage on his return and remon-
strated that he had slaughtered thirty
thousand instead of the stipulated
number.
II only killed three thousand" was
the reply. "All the rest died from

ASK THE SOLDIERS.

That the soldiers, sailors and ma

canteen service Of the American Red
Cross is given ample evidence many
times every day. The keynote of their
appreciation Is perhaps best expressed
on the post cards which they send to
the folks back home" when en- route
to points Of embarkation. From a
dozen picked up at random the follow
ing sentiments were taken and speak
for themselves"
"Red Cross are sure treating US

CANTEEN AT FRONT FOR
AMERICAN bird men"

American flying men in France are
to receive special attention from the
American Red Cross as the result of a
request for such service that has been
received from General Patrick, Chief
Of the Air Service. Because Of the
necessity of keeping aviators over
sea- in the very best mental and
physical condition for their hazardous
work officials Of the aviation branch Of
the service have long felt they should
have more comforts and opportunities
for relaxation than are provided by
the ordinary canteea.
In compliance with the request the
Red Cross is establishing special COM
bination mess and recreation canteens
at all points in France where our avn
ators, either students or officers, are
stationed. Extra comforts and atten-
tion will be provided for u bird
men" at these %canteens. They will be
presided over by American women Of
intelligence and cheerful personality,
whose chief duty will be to create as
much home atmosphere as possible in
the circumstances.
The American Red Cross is to have
sole charge Of these aviation canteens.

1880 Andrew Noerr was running THE
German Bake House." on the south side
of F between 18th and 14th.
Between Krafft's shop and 18th street
was Mrs Mary Wilson's boarding house.
Elizabeth Wilson was keeping that
boarding house in 1920. Among the
other residents in the block were VIII
lard Drake. carpenter: Joseph Dove,
ander Scott. On the south side Of the
street between 18th and -12th the gro

1920, at the southeast corner of 18th

on the west side of 18th between E and
F. had removed to this block. DR.. James
NJ. Stoughton lived in the block, and
Mrs. NAIly, a widow and seamstress,
took in boarders.
The north side of F between 10th and
18th seems to have been tardy in build
ing up. 1t is very likely that some con-
formation of the ground hindered set
tlement there, for in 1920 the only per-
son living there of whom the Rambler
finds record was Thomas H. ellis. chief
clerk in the fourth auditors Office. and
in 1880 the only residents appear to
have been Robert B. Cloakey, a car
penter. and Eleanor Thomas. On the
south side lived Richard Fenwick. who
for many years had been porter in the
Bank of the Metropolis, and who, per-
haps, was the son of Bennett Fenwick.

Fenwick, who was a runner for the
Bank of the Metropolis. At the south
east corner of F and 18th lived Eliza

man who kept the grocery at the south
east corner of 18th and +.
Between 9th and 10th on the north
iside of the square was occupied main
ly by the buildings and grounds of the
Catholic Academy and the grounds be-
longing to St. Patrick's Church. The
Rambler's notes on this academy show
that in 1880 Rev. jeremiah Kelly was
the principal and among the teachers
were Edward Hughes, who lived on
Capitol Hill: William Crossen, James
Curley. William Grace and Richard
Hardy. Rev William Matthews. pastor
of ST. Patrick's, lived. according to the
Rambler's notes. at the northeast cor
ably the house in which Rev. Anthony
Caffrey. the founder of St. Patricks,
occupied from about 1894 to 1904. There
was, in 1920, big boarding house on
the northwest corner of 9Th and F.
the Masonic Temple corner-and it was
still there IN 1880. This is probably
the building which came to be called
the Model Hotel" The Rambler be-
lieves that this boarding house, in 1880.
was conducted by William Raely and
he knows that some of the boarders
there in 1880 were S. Gwinn, Robert
Brown and Hampton C. Williams,
clerks in the post office. and John
Cromwell. There is a brief record that
Smith and Develin's Classical Academy
was in this square. but the Rambler
has no other information about it.
On the south side of the street lived
John Gardner, scotsman, who in 1880

dents were Robert Miller. a carpenter,
son of Robert Miller who had kept

At that time the Stokes line of Balti-
more stages had its Office at the north
street, where the Corcoran building
came to stand, and Thomas Cooken-

office next door to Browns Hotel on
the west. and Mr.. Cookendorfer lived
on the west side of 9th street about

Joseph Gidewon, grocer, had passed on
the block There was one resident of
that square of whom the Rambler has
not yet found trace, but who has de-
scendants living in Washington. His
name was Peter Little.
There is a very good tradition that
he kept a hotel on that block. In 1899
there was standing on the north side
of the street a few yards east of 18th
street a hotel known as the Little Ho-
because there is record of its lease
by William Rhodes, who. two years
after the date named. left the Little
Hotel and took possession of Bennett
Fenwick's big brick house on the
northeast corner of F. and 18th streets
and converted it into a hotel often men,
toned in the old annals as Rhodes
Tavern. One explanation of the name
Little Hotel" is that it was thus des-
ignated to distinguish it from Blod-
gett's Hotel, which stood on the north
side of E between eth and Sth streets
and which was known as the Great
Hotel. Another theory is that the Lit
tie Hotel took its name from its build
er and landlord.
On the south side of F street, in 1880.
j. P. Keller was keeping a confection-
cry store at the southeast corner of F.
and 18th streets. which, as the Rambler
noted last Sunday. was the home in
1890 of Capt Isaac Chauncey, commits
stoner of the Navy. Keller, the con-
fectioner. had with him a son, Jonas,
machinist at the patent Office. Col.
James Kearney of the typographical
engineers, U. s A. was still living in
fine old brick house hedged round by
gardens at the southwest corner of F
and 18th streets. Near tn ecorner of
18th street Mrs. Hesselius kept a board
ing house and in 1880 one of her board

Mrs. Burke, who kept boarding house.
On the north side of the square be-
tween 18th and 18th were four board
ing houses. Mrs Thomaston kept one
and the others were kept by Mrs. Pitt
man, Mrs. Cottringer and Mrs. Lyons.
Mrs. Cottringer also conducted a young
ladies seminary on the west side of 18th

of bureaus of the United States, in
structing that men be trained for the
Army under the advice of this board.
The letter cites eighty-seven different
occupations in which especially trained
men are needed. Among the most i'm
portant are electricians. blacksmiths,
engineers and auto and gas-engine men.
Expert automobile machinists are
wanted for the repair factories and in
the garages and in the field. Motor
truck drivers are needed and also foun-
drymen and those who can do all kinds
of masonry and carpenter work. The
Army calls for different classes of
miners and railroad mechanics.
Ak
The great number of mechanics and
technicians and other experts needed
cannot be realized by those who do
not understand the demands of modern
warfare. The federal vocational board
has recently received applications from
the war air division, asking that me-
chanical and technical experts be
trained for that service. The chief of
the Signal Corps estimates that they
will need 1900 such men for the avia-
ton branch by the 1st of next June.
These men will include more than A.
900 cabinetmakers. $4,000 chauffeurs
and $4,000 coppersmiths and metal
workers. Inc service neeOS Z,bUU Weld
ers and an equal number of men who
can repair ignito and magnetic ma
chinery. 1t needs 1900 to repair in
struments of various kinds, and 1900
men skilled in working on motors. The
board has outlined courses and direc-
tions for students who wish to become
a part of that service. and full in
structions will be given to all those
who wish to enter it by writing to
Washington.
The United States Signal Corps needs
also $4,000 radio and buZzer operators,
aud the training of these has already
been inaugurated in many parts of the
country. Many of the drafted men are
taking up the study. with the idea that
when they get to the environments
they will be chosen for this work
rather than that in the trenches. They
are anxious to get it because they think
the work will be easier, and also for the
increased wages received. Upon first
assignment to radio or buzzer work, the
soldterS wages Else to $50 per month,
