The start was then made with the
committee in the car which wac
driven by Mr.. Frye. the distributor of
the Kline Kar in Washington. 1t was
put into high gear at once and the car
driven through the congested part OF
the city and then headed for Rock

traversed, up hill and down.
Chevy Chase Circle was visited and
the car then proceeded down Connecz

dollar bridge, where il then turned
back and returned to Chevy Chase,
going as far as the Columbia Club and
Chevy Chase Lake. The car was still
going strong having shown no sign
that there was less than ten gallons
of gas in the tank.
The trip was becoming tiresome,
and 1t seemed as IL the gallon of gas
would never be exhausted. Again the
return trip was made TO the bridge.

WAR IS DECLARED
ON NOISE MAKERS

Major Pullman has declared war on
Unnecessary noises in Washington.
AS far as lies in the power Of the
comparatively small police force at

he laws relative to loud and dis
urbing noises are strictly enforced.
Article Y OF the traffic regulations,
he Major claims, gives him ample
authority to stop the use of the So
sailed Explosive whistle" or any
Ither noise making device that is an

The law plainly states when and
where horns may be blown and in
Structions have been issued to watch

GOOD BUSINESS AHEAD.

America is facing the greatest pe- Ilod of activity and expansion 1t has ever known.
 An extremely acute shortage of labor looms ahead.
 Virtually the whole world will soon he clamoring for American foodstuffs, American metals, American raw ma torials, American merchandise.
 American financial giants are plan ming to finance foreign purchasers on a scale beyond all precedent.
 Europe's productive capacity has been thrown seriously out of gear and cannot be fully restored for one to three years.
 Everywhere normal extensions, re- newals and repairs have been held back or 6r-stically curtailed for four or i've years.
 Rehabilitation demands will fall chiefly upon the United States. In short, turn where one will, the prospect of extraordinary demands upon America's resources are met just as there likewise lie ahead extra ordinary demands for American capital.

On July Fourth the American peo- ple do not celebrate merely the vic tory they gained over a mother coun- try which was then in the power of a court of German ancestry and feeling. Nor do the people celebrate merely the anniversary of the time when they attained the right of self control and individual expression.
 They also celebrate the final tri- umph of certain distinctively Amcri- can ideas. On July 4, 1776, the rep then only obscure little settlements on the fringe of the untamed wilder ness. met to discuss certain principles of liberty very dear to these hardy pioneers. They ended by agreeing upon a Decsafation in which they set up certain standards of liberty and democratic government which sound ed very strange, revolutionary, and visionary in the then monarchical world.
 This declaration could hardly be said to have fallen like a. honbshell in the Europe of kings and empires It did not make noise enough for a bombsheii. The sages of the old world laughed at it, as the outburst of a rustic people far removed from the centers of experience and wisdom.
 Yet the principles announced by this obscure band of patriots have overturned the whole world. The in. spiration of liberty was conveyed frs to the peoples of Western Europe several of whom before many years either threw off the yoke of kings al- together or curbed their power.
 But the great empires of Centra and Eastern Europe maintained theii scorn of American liberty up to tn, recent war. But liberty has proved too strong for them. It has put dowr the mighty from their seats and ex- alted them of low degree.
 This principle, which had to vail from July 4, 1776, to November II 1918, for full vindication, is wha America really celebrates on it's na. tIonaI anniversary.

 Cantalourcs. which a few years ago were considered Q luxury and were seen in the market for a few weeks only. are now a part of the daily menu in many households from the middle of June until the month of October. The crop of this delicious breakfast melon promises to exceed that of previous years.

The first cantaloupes of the season are shipped from the Imperial Valley of California and from Florida. The Florida crop however. is very small and is i'm portant only because of the early shipping season. These sections com plete their shipments by re middle of July, and before they are through Texas, Georgia North Carolina, Ar | kansas and Arizona commence to ship. The San Joaquin District which l centers around Turlock, California begins to ship by the middle or latter | part of July and continues to ship through the k1th of August The Eastern Shore of Maryland and Del aware also start shipping about the i last of July.
