H. =. McEldowney, proprietor
of McEldowney's garage, has

Die Weisse Taube

tFrom New York Herald.
The white dove sat in sauer-
kraut tree
And sang Of peace with a great
big p,
stood round
And listened to the Turing sound.
The white dove is simple
fowl,
Not near so wise as is the owl,
But it can sing song so sweet,
1t shoves the owl plumb off its
feet.
The white dove is a cooling thing.
With only strength enough to
sing,
And keeps away from war because
It hasn't either teeth or claws.
The white dove folds its peace
full wings
Across its breast and softly
sings
An ululating little coo
Which sounds too good to b
quite true.
The white dove croons a plaintivs
ary,
And those who hear IL, passing by,
Would never in this world believe
That IL had something up its
sleeve.
The white dove trills its tender
lay
With no intent to lead astray,
And those who say 1t does are
low
Unkultured slobs who do not
know.
The white dove only sings Of peace
To follow with the worlds release
From frightful war, which cannot
stop,
Unless the singer Is on top.
The white dove in the sauer-
kraut tree
Is cooling soft for sympathy,
While those who know its plead
ing cry
Brace up and keep their powder

MEAT COMMITTEE

District food administrator to act
with him in tho investigation of the
meat situation here with the view to
bringing about q reduction in retail
prices will formally organize at q
meeting to be held in Mr.. Wilson's
Office next Tuesday afternoon.
The investigation to be conducted
Ia intended to be thorough. and at
the same time it is not expected to
take more than two weeks before a
conclusion is reached. The first step
anticipated is the publishing of fresh
meat prices in the weekly fair price
list. The local administration has
conferred with the Baltimore food
administration regarding its methods
of arriving at a satisfactory basis
upon which to figure the prices for
the various grades and cuts of fresh
meats. che administrator in Balti-
more has been including fresh meat
quotations on its weekly fair price
list for several months.
According to the Baltimore admin
istrator. II is q simple matter to de-
termine a fair and reasonable price
for fresh meats. He has informed
the local administration that it re-
quires only the appointment of a
small committee of three members,
two OF whom should be meat cx-
perts

BORLAND AMENDMENT

Eight Hours Too Much for Govern.

Replies to Gompers' Letter.

Replying to circular letter on the
Borland eight-hour amendment. sent
to members Of Congress by Samuel
Gompers, president OF the American
Federation of Labor, J. NJ. Burriss,
secretary to Representative Anthony
OF Kansas. declared that its adoption
would be a backward step and, there
fore, against the best interests Of or
ganized labor" He said in part:
'1f any member of Congress who
favors the Borland amendment had
to report at one of the government
departments at 8 o'clock each morn
ing and work eight hours bumped
over a desk with an insufficient allow
ance Of time for lunch: had his leave
reduced every time he stepped out
to do small errand; was refused

and annoyed by thousand and one
other petty things to which the gov
ernment clerk is subjected since a
sort OF martinez system has largely
superseded the law Of kindness in the
departmental service, / feel sure he
would undergo a change of heart"
THE American Federation of Labor
cannot consistently support this
eight-hour proposition. It's adoption
would be a step backward and, there
fore. against the best efforts of or
long for any man to work under the
discipline Of public or private service
and have life mean anything to him

NATION NEEDS PLATINUM.
Public Il Asked Not to Buy Jewelry
So Composed.

The whims of fashion which have
created q great demand for platinum
in jewelry have not yielded to the
nations needs as readily as had been
expected. the bureau of mines an
nounces in making a renewed appeal
to the people to release this precious
metal SO that the American war ma
chine may go ahead at full speed"
The bureaus announcement said
that aside from the large amount of
platinum in the form of manufactured
jewelry, there is less than rs per
cent OF the normal stock Of unmanu-
featured platinum in the country
available for war needs. AS this
metal is necessary in the production
df nitric and sulphuric acids in the
manufacture Of nitrates from the air,
and for gun mechanisms, magnetos
for airplane engines. contacts for tel
ephone and telegraph instruments
and many other war uses, officials are
apprehensive as to the future supply.
Consequently 1t asks the public not
to purchase any platinum jewelry
either during the war or thereafter.
