LIVERY MAN SELLING OUT
MIR. Thomas S. Dove to Retire From
Business

A public sale of the livery business
and all that pertains thereto, belong
ing to the livery stables of Thomas
S. Dove, is being advertised for the
18th and 13 of next month. Mr.. Dove
the owner and proprietor, will retire
from business.
No special reason is assigned for the
sale at this time, but general opinion
is that the scarcity of labor, the in
ability to secure reliable and suitable
help has much to do with Mr.. Doves
sale
Many valuable horses and mules,
besides vehicles of all kinds, will be
sold at public auction when the sale
is called about the middle of March
MIR. Dove has been in the livery bust
ness for some years, and has made a
great success of it. The West street
stables are an old landmark in the
town For half a century or more
they have been popular boarding and
livery stables for the country folk,
and were for many years conducted
by the late James II. Vansant, father
of the present City Commissioner, who
after his fathers death conducted the
livery business some years himself
Mr. Doves retirement from bust
ness, which he has made a most
prosperous one, is regretted by his
many patrons. Always accommodate
ing. Thoughtful for others, always con-
siderate and business-like, doing bust
ness by strictly business methods and
on business principles, he has won
the respect, esteem and confidence of
the community, far and wide, as well
as the transient trade. He has over
come many obstacles in the way of
scarcity of provender, high prices,
and other difficulties which have
arisen in the past few years, but has
always met them with a cheerful man
ner and the expression, well, it's
not so bad that it could not be worse"
Mr.. Dove is a member of the Board
of Trustees of the Anne Arundel
County Home, and one of its most
valued members.

URGES GOVERNMENT
TO FIX MEAT PRICES
Secretary Of Live Stock Association
Tells Senate Committee Stock Grow
ers Are Losing Millions

Fixing of meat prices was urged as
a means of heading off a meat famine
by T. W. Tomlinson, of Denver, secre-
tary of the American National Live
stock Association, before the Senate
Agriculture Committee.
Stock growers are losing millions,
he said, at the present market prices
and many of them are quitting the
business.
Tomlinson declared that Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover, TO whom live
stock growers had appealed frequent
ly, told them that he had no power to
fix meat prices.

USE OF TOBACCO in TRENCHES
Plays No Small Part 10 Conservation
of Food

The use of tobacco by our troops in
the trenches plays no small part in
the conservation of food, say Marine
Corps officials, who estimate that from
% to 80 per cent of food is saved
daily in this manner.
While authorities admit the detri-
mental influences of narcotics, they
assert that tobacco relieves the nerv-
Gus tension of soldiers who are I'M
der continual shell fire.
"Eearly in the war;" declared Ma
rine officer, "the French discovered
that men who smoke eat considerably
less food, and only recently the Brit
ish Food Controller issued the state
ment: The British troops in the
trenches must have tobacco or much
more food"

brocade and skirt of plain satin or

sheer dresses that are perennially
popular and especially suited to young
members of society are shown, the
sturdier fabrics are having a run of
favor, and some very charming gowns
are being featured.

ton in mind when they decided to
develop evening gowns made of suf-

to adhere as exclusively as heretofore
to the sheer. perishable fabrics. equal

necessarily saved by the populariza-
ton of frocks that give satisfactory
long time service.
For the gown sketched, silver bro
cade and French or a lighter blue
satin or velvet might be attractively
combined. The color scheme may, of
course, be decided, to suit the taste
and complexion. of the woman for
whom the dress is designed.
The skirt, as will be noted, is
draped; and the gown may be in
according to choice.
Frequently half or full length
sleeves of filmy tulle in blending or
contrasting color are used in the
