Monday Morning.

Samples of three kinds of registra-
ton cards, one or more Of which each
man within the registration age should
carry, have been placed in the hands of
their Commands in an enforcement of
the draft law which will begin Mon

registration certificate signed by the
registrar of a local board. another is
the final local board classification GER
tificate and the third is a postal card
classification notice.
Every young man between the ages
Of twenty-one and thirty-one years
should have on his person at all times
ono of these three cards." Maj. Pull
man, superintendent of police, advised
members of his force in a reference
bulletin. Police captains were in
structed to plan to start the work care
fully and Systematically.
In an order issued to the force this
morning, Maj. Pullman informed his
men that enforcement of the registra-
ton law means cooperation with the
government in the best possible man
ner, because. he stated, it will be help
ing in the necessary mobilization of
the nations man power for~the defeat
of kaiserism. Police are directed to
give special attention to near-beer
places, poolrooms, bowling alleys,
cheap theaters. public dance halls and
places where idle young men congre-

BREAD PORTIONS "CUT"
IN EFFECT MAY 20
Eating Places Also Ordered to Cur
tail Sugar Allowance Per Customer
on That Date.

Two ounces of victory bread or four
ounces of quick bread--quick bread has
only % per cent wheat-and a curtail-
ment Of sugar Is proposed for every
person who takes meal in restau-
rant or hotel or boarding house. The
order reducing the quantity of bread
to be supplied to a patron goes into
effect May 20.
The District of Columbia food ad-
ministrator. c. r. Wilson, announced
this ration, last night, following a
meeting with hotel managers. restau-
rant and lunchroom proprietors and
keepers of boarding houses.
Administrator Wilson proposes to
educate the public not to eat wheat.
He would gradually reduce the amount
of the wheat allowance until none is
left, and the consumer has learned to
use corn bread and breadstuffs made
Of other cereals than wheat.
A permanent organization of eating
house representatives was decided upon
at the suggestion Of the food admin
istrator.

ORDER ICE BY POUND,
is TIP TO CONSUMERS
superintendent Of Weights and
Measures Takes a Hand in
Price Situation.

When your iceman declines to sell you
a five-cent piece of ice order ice by the
pound.
The superintendent of weights and
measures intends to cooperate with the
food administration for a fair deal to
ice consumers. Supt. George NJ. Rob-
erts advises the public to demand ice in
twenty-five and fifty pound pieces; if
it does not come up to the specification
of weight, he will proceed to punish a
violation of law.
THE proper way for a consumer to
order ice from a dealer Is to say: Give
me twenty-five pounds or give me
fifty pounds" said Mr.. Roberts. Then.
if the consumer does not get his
moneys worth there is a violation of
law.
II invite Washingtonians to inform
me of any violations of the law respect
ing short weight in ice"
Ice dealers will attempt to show the
District of Columbia food administra-
tor, at a meeting tonight in Central
High School. that they are justified in
advancing the price of ice. They will
plead increased cost OF production and
delivery.

True Courtesy-An Incident.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Referring to the article "a Deplorable
Incident" in yesterdays paper, 1 agree
with Mr. Robert A. Hart. but to show
the other side. here Is an account of
what saw this morning that happened
at 5th and E, streets northwest: blind
colored man dressed in a light suiO
was coming down 5th street Con tho
east side of the street, going south, and
when he reached l. street a white soldier
coming in the same direction took him
by the arm and led him to the other
side Of the street. The colored man
thanked him and the soldier passed on.
1 have seen the same colored man sew
eral times, but do not know his name.
He was using a cane. l was coming
west on f street at the time and l saw
it all This only goes to show that
color or uniform does not forget that
they are still gentlemen, notwithstand-
ing there are so many rowdies of all
kinds these days. HARRY WILSON.

CAT TALES.
Keeping Cool

1 still am calmly speaking of
war and swords and flags, while
friends of mine are shrieking, and
rending of their rags. | never
saw much profit in people running
wild, and borrowing from Tophet
hot language that's defled; l see
no good in handing blue curses to
the foe; it will not aid in landing
a solar plexus blow. In raving
and in ranting I see no earthly
good that fellows most enchant-
ing who calmly saws his wood.
l am a loyal fellow, but 50 are
other boys; I do not call them
yellow. because they make less
noise. Oh, l get sick as blazes of
that abnormal bore who roasts,
in redhot phrases, the gent who
lives next door; because said
gent is quiet, and doth all fuss
abhor, and can't believe that riot
will help to win the war. Our
President serenely good ex-
ample sets to every voter queenly
who paws around and frets. His
grievous load he carries, and does
not pause to swear, while frantic
Dicks and Harrys are clawing at
the air. He springs no language
bitter and yet all nations know
that Woodrow is no gutter, and
does not fear the foe. We can
not whip the Teuton, or chill his
large splay feet, with language
highfalutin, with curses and re-
peat. WALT MASON.

Destructive Fox Hunting.

To the Editor of The Star:
A shepherd returning from the meet
ing of the Maryland State Sheep As
ISOLATION at Baltimore reports a hot
discussion over the foxhound and horse
show element in and around the Dis
trict of Columbia. Both foxes aud dogs
being brought in and turned loose to
run on the farms. it naturally follows
that great destruction of ground nest
ing birds. poultry. turkeys. sheep. pigs
and even calves results. 1t struck the
sheep men as a gratuitous impertinence
to expect them to keep on importing
or even raising what they have to
amuse the dogs and hunters A re-
markable coincidence was that the
leader in rehabilitating sheep hus-
bandry in a coal mining county corro-
borates our experience that most of the
raids occur on Sunday.
