Regular Diet of Horse Meat
Solves Rotioning at Zoo

Carnlvorous animals at the Ma
tional Geological Park here will not
be affected by "meatless days"-at
least not as long as horse meat re-
mains off tie ration lists.
DR.. William Mann, director OF
Washington's Zoo, revealed today
that meat eaters at the Zoo have
been en- diet of horse meat for the
last two years, and that since imports
from Euro.:e and the Orient have
been curtailed or cut off entirely
substitute rations for some OF the
more delicate birds and animals have
been found.
Zoo officials say that horse meat
was used for many years at the Zoo,
but was discontinued when prices
"s.Sy-rocketed" in about 1890. Then,
it was explained, it was cheaper to
buy beef.
Comm enting on report that the
B-cnx Zoo recently has placed its
c2rnivorous animals upon a horse
mcat diet, D.. Mann said:
We are very modest at the Zoo
here, but in all modesty I can say
that where we lead, others follow.
We have been feeding diet of horse
meat now for the last two years.
There was a time, back during
the depression, when beef became
cheaper than horse meat and we fed
it then, but since then we have been
feeding horse meat almost entirely" ;"
DR.. Mann said that the Zoos meat
diets were purchased from an East
ern dealer and therefore no trans

Flour Prices Increased
1915 PET. by 0PA Order
BY the Associated Press.

by Ine Associated Press.
Increases of 10 to IS per cent In
the temporary, 60-day price CELL
ings on fours, were granted by the
Office of Price Administration YES
terday to avert a threatened flour
shortage.
The upward adjustment was
brought about by an order providing
that the maximum price shall be
the highest level at which each
seller contracted to sell during the
September 28-October base Pc
rlod, rather than the top price at
which deliveries actually were made.
The price boost applies to -four
made from wheat, corn, rye and also
to cornmeal, hominy and hominy
grits. 1t is effective at once.
The amendment will permit con-
tinued functioning of the milling
industry, which otherwise would
have found it impossible to mill
flour from wheat at present prices"
OPA said.
Because flour inventories gen.
orally are held down to about IS
Gays supply, any reduction in de-
llveries resulting from the price
squeeze on millers would have
caused a shortage to develop quickly
at all levels of consumption it was
explained.
In the last 80 days. OPA said,
types OF wheat used for flour have
gone up in cost considerably. A
similar situation prevails in corn
and ray. Sellers contract prices
therefore were substantially higher
than the prices at which the prod
ucts were being delivered.

Mary|anders Told 10 Take
Steps 10 Guard Health

Constant vigilance over the water
and milk supply throughout Mary
land was urged yesterday by DR.. c.
H. Halliday. assistant director of
the State Health Department, in
order to prevent any epidemic during
and after the war.
Dr. Halliday spoke at the Southern
Maryland Regional Conference of
the State and County Health De-
partments at the Upper Marlboro
Courthouse. The Conference was
attended by health representatives
from Montgomery, Prince Georges,
Anne Arundel, Calvert. Charles and
st. Mary's Counties.
DR.. Halliday declared that an in
crease could be expected in influenza
and meningistis during the emer-
gency, due in a large part to the
rapid population growth. He also
warned of possible jump in malaria
and smallpox cases, explaining that
these diseases probably would be
brought in by the people from rural
areas.
A more intensive "follow-up" of
venereal disease cases in order to
check the sources of veneral diseases
was urged by DR.. N. A. Nelson, State
deputy health officer, in charge of
venereal disease control. DR.. Nelson
also said additional funds are needed
to establish venereal disease clinics
in the counties.

portation difficulties are expected.
I'VE once tried Western dealer" he
said, but the delivery was so slow
that We made no further attempts to
get meat from the West"
The fact that supplies of ant eggs
used to feed birds, formerly OBJ
tanned from Japan and Northern
Europe, have been cut off, also has
failed to bother Zoo officials here.
Dr.. Mann revealed that the Zoo now
is raising meal worms for its birds
and caterpillars for birds and lizards.
Another imported bird food
hemp seed-used as the basis for
almost all bird seed mixtures, also
has become scarce due to the war,
and Zoo officials are trying out, va
rlous types Of American grown grass
seeds as substitutes.
I'VE still are getting about Is per
cent OF the amount Of fresh bananas
We once, used" DR.. Mann said, "and
these we are feeding to the more
delicate animals and birds that de-
mand banana diet. For the. last
four or five months, however. we
have been getting dried bananas in
75-pound drums"
DR.. Mann said that recently he
had heard from the director of
ZOO in Scotland and that the English
were feeding their birds a diet of
carrots and boiled potatoes. He
added that the Zoo here has been
feeding potatoes for some time.
DR.. Mann said that so far, none
OF the diet had caused any i'll ef-
fects on inmates at the Zoo.

ically affirming the nomination OF

sons set forth in an opinion here
after to be filed, the order appealed
from " is this 9th day of October

ruling OF Circuit Court Judge Ben
lamin A. johnson that "it would be
harsh and cruel to disenfranchise
the voters of the entire district" be-
cause OF what he termed an honest
mistake on the part of the election
judge.
