GRADE
HIGH DESPITE
LOWER PRICE
Tests Show D. C. Dealers Keep
ing Up Standard, Says Health
Department Head.

Despite the reduction of milk
prices in the National Capital to the
II cents-a-quart standard price, the
high grade OF the product sold In
Washington is being steadily main
tanned, DR.. william C. Fowler, Dis
trict health officer, announced today.
Frequently when the price OF milk
is reduced the producer and the
dealer grow somewhat careless, and
as a result the milk tests show a
higher percentage Of bacteria" said
DR.. Fowler. but the Washington
dealers and the Maryland and Vir-
gInia Min Producers Association, as
we'll as independent producers, have
met the situation with a commend
able regard for the welfare Of the
people of Washington by keeping up
the milk standards after the drop in
price on May /.
Several highly contagious diseases
can easily be spread through the sale
of impure milk, and as a result moth
ing Is more vital to the welfare OF
the city than a pure milk supply.
have made the announcement only
after a close study OF the situation
and can confidently say that Wash
ington is being served with safe
milk because OF the carefulness Of
dealers and producers.
Necessity Of Precautions.
"All milk contains bacteria and the
public should understand that bac-
examinations of milk are
made to determine whether bacteria
are present in excessive numbers.
When excessfve numbers OF bacteria
are found, It is a clear indication that
somewhere between the time the milk
came from the COW and the time II
reached the home, 1t was not handled
rightly, or II was not kept as cold
as 1t should be.
''One reason for the high grade OF
milk sold in Washington Is the stop
page Of the sale Of unlicensed milk
in the National Capital-brought
about by the recent Health Depart
ment campaign against unlicensed
milk. There is practically no IN
licensed milk being brought into
Washington at this time.
MIX is one OF the most valuable
OF foods, and is the only food con-
tanning all the constituents needed to
keep the human body alive. With
milk being sold at fair price. Wash
ington residents should avail them
selves OF the opportunity now being
offered. and drink more milk this
summer. Reports from the dealers
indicate that the consumption OF milk
is becoming more general in wash
ington. since the recent decrease in
price. and we hope to hear OF a still
further increase in the use on milk
during the summer months"

Mrs. Z. McKeown, with whom he
made his home, says he is only nine
teen. Miss Thompson gave her age
as seventeen.
The Rev. Frank Y. Bischoff. pastor
OF the Church OF the Nativity, who
performed the ceremony, refused to
make any statement today. Gray's
aunt was equally communicative.
1t is believed the couple are now in
New York.
Disappeared Two Years Ago.
Two years ago the bright lights in
the signs above theater entrances ap-
pealed so strongly to Marjorie that
she left home to go upon the stage.
She announced her intention of be-
coming a professional dancer and
suddenly disappeared from her home,
which was then at 10 Grant place
northwest.
After an absence OF several weeks
during which conflicting reports came
to Miss Eugenia Harper, the aunt of
the then ffteen-year-old girl. of Mar
jorie having been seen in other cities,
a detective found her in Philadelphia,
Her picture was shown on moving
picture theaters in every large city.
1t was by this method that the Phila-
delphia officer secured a clue to her
address.

Service on the western front are
described by Capt. Cecil Gray Sellers
who has just returned to Washington
after twenty months service abroad
Captain Sellers was one Of the
leading bombardment pilots on the
American front, and was commanding
officer Of the Twentieth Aero squad

September 20 from our aerodrome at
Maulin with q formation of eight

which, at that time, was about forty
five kilometers behind the German
lines. Just after crossing the lines
we were attacked by four boche
planes. and they stayed with US all
the way in. We reached the objective
and dropped our bombs all right, scor-
ing a direct hit on the target. On
the way back, three hostile planes
joined in the attack on US, and my
observer, Lieut.. X. c. Payne, was
kept busy fighting them on. We
thought we saw one plane go down
out of control"
Lieut.. Allen NJ. Symthe. Of 1898

one of the pilots in the Twentieth

known for the unique insignia 1t car
ried on its planes, as well as for the
magnificent work it did.

The insignia showed an anarchist

al all over the world today. The
broadcast field IS on the battlefield.
IL who conqueas, conquers Well
Thar IS what the Red Cross did in the
World War.
The Red Cross Societies have raised
large suuls Of money during this great
a to clothe. feed and nurse the
wounded soldiers. 1t also keeps the
healthy ones strong, for a strong army
has great power. The Red Cross
gathered the wounded soldiers up in
arms of mercy as a mother gathers
I'D her babe in arms of tenderness.
The soldiers have two great mothers;
their own dear who cared for them
from a babe to manhood and the Red
Cross mother who cares for them in
the service.
Some people say it is a great waste
to give money and food to the Red
Cross. Is it? Who cared for the poor
starving French and Belgium soldiers
and children in time of war? Who
did many of the great deeds of mercy?
The Red Cross did this work, and what
a great piece of work it was! Now the
Red Cross work is to look after the
soldiers still remaining in Europe, to
see that they all get home and to
count the missing and wounded .
Let US not criticize the Red Cross,
let US not refuse our firm support and
assistance; for without this great or
g~anization the horrors Of war would
be increased tenfold.

Crookedness in Cars.

these automobiles that have been sold
and the dope is that they have in
cludcd a number of Fords, have been
purchased through Charlotte man
without bearing engine numbers, or
rather the engine numbers have been
chopped off. They have been sold at
a price greatly in excess Of the price
that Ford sets on his machine. The
understanding is that these F'ords have
been purchased in New York and have
been sent south sort of underground
like and into the hands Of local people.
But there the trouble comes. In issuing
license the state highway commission
requires the engine number and 81

these sources, paper is made from
waste paper from rags, old rope and
from straw.
In the present emergency, all sorts
saw grass, cornstalks, cotton hulls,
bamboo and cypress have all been used
expermentally in making paper. All
can be used to a certain extent and
after a fashion, but none Of them
solves the problem.
Cotton "linters" are one Of the most
promising new materials. The linters
are sort of fuzz that remains in the
cotton hull after the staple cotton has
heen removed. During the war linters
were used for making gun cotton, and
their production and cleaning was
brought to a high state Of perfection.
1t is said that the war department had
100000 bales of linters on hand when
the war ended, and that this was sold
for export. 1t is also said that about
the same amount could be produced
annually in this country. But linters
are used chiefly for making book pa
per- and it is the news print paper
situation that is most acute.
So far, there is no known material
for making news print which can take
the place of coniferous, or evergreen
woods, Of which spruce and hemlock
are the chief Yellow pine is too
pitchy for making news print. 1t is
now being used in the south to some ex-
tent for making wrapping paper.
The spruces and hemlocks, which
are therefore necessary to the news
paper business, grow only in north
ern ATTITUDES and at high attitudes.
Northern New England and the lake
states contain the only considerable
spruce growing areas in the east.
There are small spruce areas in the
Allegheny mountains, but they are not
Of much Importance.
This north woods area, the experts
say, could support the American pub
fishing business indefinitely If it were

the land had been used systematically
for raising pulp wood trees, as a farm
is used for raising grain, instead of
being stripped and then abandoned
to it's fate, there would be no short
age now. The forest service says that
much Of this area is now producing
only one tenth of the pulp wood 1t is
capable of producing. 1t can be res
tored to productivity but this is a
problem of scientific forestry which 1t
will take a generation to work out,
and upon which a start has scarcely
as yet been made. .....sSsa&Ses..,.. !.
Those who regard as impracticable
the plan of going to the Pacific coast
for a supply of pulp wood will point
out that when the eastern forest lands
lad been restored, western mills could
not meet the competition of eastern
ones. Students of the matter say this
IS not so. They say that in China, ia
pan and Australia the Pacific mills
will find large and growing market
fer all of the paper they cannot sell
in this country.
