the present cool weather and
no reason to believe that the
worlds heat is decreasing,
Government scientists said to-

no signs of a chilly summer.

been having pretty generally
lately we are naturally going
to have cool weather " said

HIT
BY SUGAR
PRICES
Districts Poor Cannot Con-
tinue to Buy Unless Gamblers
Corner Is Broken.

The sugar boycott, the weapon
which Washington housewives are
preparing to WELD against the
continued high price of sugar,
may be forced upBn the ASCOT
ated Charities unless Govern
mental and civic proceedings to
bring about reduction are effec-
tive in the not distant future.
This was the declaration today
Of Walter S. Ufford, secretary of
the organization, which annually
dispenses food to thousands of
INDECENT persons in Washington.
Rated As Necessity.
At present, said Ufford. a package
of sugar continues to be placed in
each basket delivered or given out
but future maintenance of supply
is a vexing question, failing cut
in cost, responsive to the checking
of manipulations upon the New
York Sugar Exchange.
Ufford believes many poor per-
sons will be forced to resort to
substitutes for white sugar If prices
are not lowered. While sugar is
not rated as much of a dietetic
necessity, perhaps, as milk or eggs,
it is one of the most important
articles in a balanced regimen, he
declared. The Associated Charities
always runs on a narrow financial
margin, the secretary went on,
and a sustained wholesale cost OF
sugar might possibly result in a
deficit.
UNCONVENTIONAL charitable institu-
tons will feel the pinch If the back
of the 40 to so per cent advance
in the staple is not broken, it was
learned today. On the other hand,
such municipal plants as the poor
house at Blue Plains, the Training
schools for girls and boys, the
Washington Asylum Hospital ana
Jail, etc, are protected against the
cost boost by annual contract, run
ming until July l.
At Blue Plains, for instance, the
sugar supply is contracted for at
these rates: Brown, 5 cents: white,
and a small fraction. After July
additional appropriations would
be necessary if soaring sugar quo
tations are not brought down.
Blue Plains uses l 500 pounds
month alone. "A new COHLIdCI oL a
so per cent advance would mean
an additional outlay of $40 a month
for the one institution.
Stocks Go Upward.
In the case of leading sugar stocks
listed on the New York exchange,
every one opened higher this morn

HAD RIGHT TO COUNT FOURTH
DISTRICT VOTES

James P. Mccoy, of Cecilton, who
was candidate at the recent Pri-
maries in Cecil county, for the Demo
cratic nomination for. County Com
missioner long term, and shown to
have been nominated for that office
without the vote of the Fair Hill dis
trict, filed a petition in the Circuit
of mandamus to compel the Board of
mandamus to compel the Board OF
Supervisors of Elections to omit the
Fair Hill district vote from their
official returns on the grounds that
the vote of that district was invali-
dated because the ballot judge failed
to write his initials on ballots when
he handed them out to the voters on
Primary Day. The judges of election
for that district failed to count the
votes when they discovered the mis-
take, and last week the Board OF
Supervisors had them counted under
their supervision. When the petit
ton came before the Court, Wednes-
day morning, counsel for the original
petitioners demurred, and the Court
sustained it, 1t is reported that the
case will be carried to the Court of

POOR SERVICE

There has been general complaint
from users of electricity in this local
ity recently. of poor service, This is
especially noticeable by those who
have electric irons, or who cook or
use electricity for heating purposes.
The irons or heaters will not get hot
enough to do their work property.
We have been greatly, handicapped in
the use Of our linotype, as it now re-
quires five or six hours to heat the
metal, whereas one hour should be
ample time.
The explanation, we are told, is
that since Havre de Grace has been
connected up with the Northern
Maryland lines there is much
heavier demand ON the current and
the voltage ia pulled down all along
the line, You are not getting the
service you had formerly, but you
are paying more for this poor SER
vice than you did when it was good,
because you are compelled to use the
current three or four times as long
as when 1t was stronger.
If you don't believe this, compare
your last bill with former ones and
be convinced,
To such an extent has the service
been affected. and so numerous have
been the complaints, that the COM
pany is taking steps to install what
are known "a boosters on it's lines
in order to boost" the current to
where it should be, and where it was
before the lines were overloaded.
Just how long users of electricity
here will have to put up with the
present poor service we are unable
to say, Meanwhile patrons of the
company will have to worry along
with what they get.
