And Sealing Wax

Let's TO!
Come, pal, let's hit the old, old trail,
For Summer runs along the hills
And life, that yesterday was stale,
Now with the ancient yearning
thrills.
The west winds clamor calls us
Let's strike the year-old shackles free;
Let's go and hear them, partner
come!
Before the oldtime longings fail,
Come, pal, let's hit the old, old trail.
A camp, whose roof tree is the sky,
When one may browse all afternoon
And watch cloud argosies sail by,
Across the azure seas of June;
An indolent, tree bordered stream,
With traceries of sun and shade;
hear the reels exultant scream.
l see the plunge the bass has made
From out the cove where lilies sail
Come, pal, let's hit the old, old trail.
There, while the lazy hours creep past
Well fish and loaf in Already.
While shadows slip along the grass,
Well be the kids we used to be.
And maybe, by that pleasant stream,
Far, far removed from lust for gain,
Well find the things we used to dream
Before we met with toll and pain,
In those bright days, ERE dreams grew
pale.
Come, pal, let's hit the old, old trail!

Beef Now Limited to
Four Meals a Week

The order forbidding restaurants
and hotels to serve beef at more than
four meals each week became effective
yesterday. Boiled beef may be served
at two meals weekly, beefsteak at one
and roast beef at one.
In the absence of instructions as to
whether breakfast, lunch or dinner was
to be beefiess, r. A. Gushee, of the
local hotel and restaurant committee
of the Food Administration, advised
the public eating places to serve one
of the four kinds of beef permitted at
whatever meal they deemed the most
important.
The result was that in downtown eat
ing places beef was to be had at the
midday meal, while further uptown It
was reserved for the evening meal, and
farsighted person could eat beet
twice day if he had the price. Com
plete instructions from Washington arc
expected by Thursday.
There are no restrictions upon the
home table, though economy is re.
quested. MIR. Gushee said that when
the hotel rule was working smoothly
there would be an enormous saving y
beef. He estimated that TO per cent o.
the people in New York never ate din

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune

ALBANY, June 17.-Women may
have the vote, but those who are mar
ried can't hang their hat any old place
and call it their voting residence. At

pointment. Attorney General Lewis.

where husband and wife are living to-
gether the wife cannot claim a

Board of Commerce Takes
Action at Request OF
Hotel Managers
War Attitude Is Cause
Many Citizens of Jersey Sum-
mer Resort Cease to Buy
Publications

LAKE HoPATCONG, N. j., June II.
Lake Hopatcong has expressed dis
approval of Hearst newspapers in two
different and distinct tones.
Many citizens Of this New Jersey
summer resort have ceased buying
newspapers published by William Ran
dolph Hearst for the period of the war.
The Hopatcong Board Of Commerce
has withdrawn all it's advertising from
Hearst newspapers.
Lake Hopatcong is the second New
Jersey summer resort to cease adver-
tising in Hearst publications since
"The New York American" deleted the
victory prayer from President Wilson's
Memorial Day proclamation. The
Mayor of Bradley Beach announced
last week that not one cent OF the
Bradley municipal advertising fund
would be expended in buying adver-
tisements in Hearst papers IN the tut
ure. -, :.
The Hopatcong advertising fund is
contributed to by twenty hotels around
Lake Hopatcong.
1t was at the earnest Denest VI Hoee!
managers who contributed this fund
that the Hopatcong Board of Com
merce cancelled orders for advertising
in Hearst's New York American" and
journal"
An officer of the Board Of Commerce
stated to-day that the hotel managers
found the board perfectly willing to
accept their views regarding Hearst
advertising, some Of the board mem
bers having been among the cltlzens
who had sought to discourage the sale
of Hearst papers at this place.
Hearst agents came to Hopatcong TO-
day to try to change the local opinion
on Hearst newspapers. One Hearst ad-
vertising man called on Secretary
Mangam of the Board of Commerce.
Mr.. Mangam reported that he held the
same view in regard to Hearst publi-
cations after this representatives vlslt
and arguments as before.
When the Hearst men demanded to
know why advertising had been refused
"The New York American" and Jour
nal" they were told to find their an
zwer in the articles which Hearst news
papers published regarding the Lusl-
tania sinking; regarding this being
"England's war;" regarding the jap
anese menace" and regarding the ad-
visibility of Americas sending her
soldiers to France.

BY BRIGGS

jury for conspiracy to commit an
offense against the United States.
"To-day a general search was made
of the papers of hundreds of corpora
tions in cities all over the United
States who have contractual relations
with the government and who, it is
believed, have obtained their contracts
through contingent fee agents. A
search also has been made of the
papers of certain firms and corpora
tions who acted in the capacity of con-
tingent fee operators. The government
has been aided in its plan of investi-
eating the whole situation through
loyal and patriotic manufacturers who
have volunteered information"
Assistant Attorney General Thomp-
con explained that proof Of the exist
ence of an agreement to pay an agent
a commission in case he obtains a con-
tract for the manufacturer subjects
the contract to reputation by the
for the holder of the contract to re-
cover. This is equally true of contracts
awarded originally to the commission
agent and sublet to the actual manu-
facturer, since subletting is forbidden
by law.
If a contingent fee agreement has
been entered into it need not be car
RED out, or II payment already has
been made the government is free to
deduct the amount before setting for
the goods ordered.
This does not apply to orders OBJ
tanned by bona tide salaried agents of
manufacturing concerns, whose COM
pensation in no way depends directly
on their success in getting contracts.
Mr.. Thompson's statement explained
that "there is no intention to inter-
fere with legitimate relationships be-
tween manufacturers and the various
departments of the government over
contracts, but the manufacturer must
deal directly with the departments and
not through middlemen or agents en-
ployed on a contingent fee basis"
Investigation so far has not con-
vinccd officials that a large proportion
of war orders are tainted with the con-
tingent fee frauds, although if only a
small percentage of the hundreds of
thousands of contracts awarded within
the last year are affected, the aggre-
gate is enormous.
At least four or five contractors
agencies exist openly in Washington,
it is said, ready to accept commits
sions to negotiate contracts, and these
are reported to have made huge profits
within tho last few months
