more on Friday, called by the State
Chairman, Mrs. Sydney Cone, to urge
more intensive effort in putting Mary

Every district in the county must be
covered.
Miss Walton reported having hearty
cooperation from the women in her
county, although the entire county has
not yet been covered. This she in
tends to do before the first of July.
The May report for the War Saw
ings Stamps will be published later.
1t is proposed to do away with fire
works TO save powder and celebrate a
sane Fourth. Put the money into
Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
Every dollar which would ordinarily
go into fire works for the amusement
of children should this year be put
into Thrift and War Savings Stamps,
and the occasion used to teach the
children the seriousness of the hour.
In homes and all public places, or
wherever people can be gathered for
reverent discussion OF the meaning
of the Fourth of July the thought of
the young and the old should be turn
ed to the task which we now face.
Not a dollar should be expended for
for unnecessary and inappropriate fire
works. They are out of place this
year
Urge the children to be patriotic by
buying War Savings and Thrift
Stamps, and later they may be able to
say that they helped win the war.
This movement is greatly favored
by the most prominet men and women
of the State.

TIMELY WARNING TO
ALL ICE DEALERS.
Those In Washington Compelled
To Turn Over Their Busi-
ness To Government.

OF interest in Annapolis at this time
where the ice shortage is serious and
where there has been considerable
complaint, is the unmistakable indica-
tion of what will happen in every city
where ice dealers fail to realize their
obligation toward the public was fur
nished in Washington yesterday when
the ice business was taken over by the
local Food Administrator.
This drastic action was the result
Of constant complaint from the people
of Washington at the poor distribution
by the local ice companies. Ever
since the warm weather began there
have been constantly increasing COM
plants that the house service of ice
was insufferably bad and investiga-
tion by Mr. Wilson convinced him that
some of the ice dealers were not max
ing a sincere effort to supply their Gus
toners with ice at a reasonable price
if at all. He summoned them TO a
conference last Monday at which he
laid the facts before them in very
plain English. They were given time
ii make some plans for better Co
operation, but Mr.. Wilson became con-
vinced that nothing could be expected
from any voluntary agreement among
the ice dealers.
Therefore, he notified them all that
beginning probably Monday morning
the entire ice business of Washington
will be conducted by the local Food
Administration

GAS UNIT REDUCTION
WILL BE PERMITTED
Indications Are That Utilities
Commission Will Follow Fed
eral Suggestion.

With Annapolis still more or less
in the throes of a bad gas situation,
much interest is being manifested To-
ca11y in the indications that the Pub
lie Service Commission of Maryland
will Immediately fall in line with the
proposal of the Federal Fuel Admin
istration to lower the standard of ar
tificial gas from 500 to 52S British
thermal units.
This is 72 (B. T. U.) less than the
standard fixed by the Public Service
Commission for gas supplied in Mary
land
The order is to be issued, it is said,
for the purpose of conserving the oil
supply of the country. Much oil is re-
quired in the manufacture of gas, es-
pecially gas running high in British
thermal units. Such an order would
save the local gas company about one
gallon of oil for every 1000 cubic feet
of gas it manufactures.
The government authorities will not
undertake to fix gas prices, but will
| fix only the heating value and allow
State Commissions to determine the
rates

RED CROSS APPEALS
FOR COUNTY WORKERS.
Anne Arundel County Chapter
Has 700 Garments To Com
plete In June.
EVERYBODY MUST HELP.
Workers Are Needed At Head
quarters On Gloucester Street.
All Women Urged To Help.

The Potomac Division of the Red
Cross has been given recently a very
large allotment of garments, that are
asked for by the French and Italian
Commissions This work must be fin
ished and delivered during the three
summer months. The Annapolis and
Anne Arundel County Chapter has been
given 700 of these garments, to be fin
ished by the end of June. The allot-
ment has been accepted, because there
are enough auXilliaries in the county
and town TO do this work, and individ-
uals in the county and town to do this
work, and the Red Cross has felt sure
that they are both willing and anxious
to do their part
AT the Red Cross Headquarters on
Duke of Gloucester street no garment
can be made, because that is where
all these garments are cut out and
assembled for the sewers. These gar
ments should be all cut out during
the next two weeks in order to have
them finished by the end of the month.
And it is urgently requested that wo-
men who have had any experience in
this kind of work will give a certain
portion of their time TO this service.
Experienced cutters are needed, assem-
| blers who can see that everything
which is used on the finished garment
is placed in each package, and stitch
ers whom can do any piecing that is nee
essary If the material has been too
I n hn
| is what workers are asked for at the
Headquarters, so that each package
may go to the willing sewers complete
and women who find it difficult to do
work outside their own homes, will
be able to accomplish their part with
out loss of time.
In this same call from the Potomac
Division the Chapters are asked to be
careful in their inspection of all gar
ments shipped. To see that directions
given have been followed The An
napolis and Anne Arundel County
/ Chapter has always been very careful
of this part of the work, and the COM
mittee in charge of the packing can
/ be aided very much by the individual
worker who makes the garments.
! A large part of these garments now
/ called for are for the Refugee Chill
| dren, poor little fatherless and even
motherless waits in many cases. Seven
! hundred pieces must be finished by
/ the end of June, and it is hoped many
workers will come forward and an
swer this call and report at the Head
quarters in the Municipal Building
! Duke of Gloucester street.
Little Refugee Children are to be
sent garments by the Red Cross, and
! this large allotment has been given
the local chapter for June.
The summer is upon the workers
and many people are preparing tC
leave town during the hot weather
But the war is still on, and the need
for good work is more urgent thar
ever
