opened suitcase and probing
through the contents. Dawson
slipped a hand inside his coat to
his revolver holster and stepped
into the room.
AS he did SO, a second man
whipped from the darkened bath
room and pinned Dawson's arms
to his sides.
Vainly, Clyde Dawson tried TO
shake himself free from the
strong arms of the man who had
grabbed him from behind.
Meanwhile, the one Who had
been searching through his suit
case dashed across the room and
tugged the investigators revolt
yer from the shoulder holster.
Take it easy" an authorita-
tive voice growled, We're from
the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police"
Dawson ceased struggling.
Hell" he painted, lets stop
playing games-we're on the
same team. I'm Dominion Intel
ligence-you'll find my creden-
tials in a false bottom compart-
ment of the suitcase your pal
was amusing himself with"
When Dawson had satisfied
the Mounties as TO his identity,
one of them drew a sheet of
writing paper from his pocket
and handed it to Dawson.
Perhaps you can give us a
hint as to what this it all about,
them" the Mountie queried.
You'll notice the letter about
you was properly signed-we
seldom act on anonymous tips of
this nature. Urgency was sug-
gested in its being sent by a
messenger from the dock. The
hotel detective told us there had
been strange behavior on your
part reported this morning. :"
Dawson was reading the note
-letterheaded IS. S. Fort Glen

There is a man using the name

1t was signed, "Carole Fiske,"
and, in brackets below, 'an en-
ploye of the War Supplies De-

Dawson laughed shortly.
That's easy to explain. The
girl thought was sort of inter-
national spy who sells to the
highest bidder and decided it was
time to end it. Pm now hurrying
by r. c. A. F. plane to st. John
to head her off from most dis

statement releasing the r. c. M.

The MountieS shook hands
with Dawson and they all laugh
ed good-naturedly over the COM

Il. s. To Haze Full Larder
But Less VARIETY During War

Canned meat. Will be scarce
due to (a) limited supply of con-
tainers; (b) the great demand
from the U. S. Army, Navy and
Allied Nations.
Canned fish. Limited supplies.
Army, Navy are taking almost all
of the pack of salmon, herring and
tuna. Fresh fish supplies are af-
fected by submarine operations.
Canned fruits and vegetables.
Supply affected oy limited
amounts of tin. Prices are being
held up to encourage large supply.
Chickens. Plenty, folks, plenty
consumption encouraged.
Eggs. To be abundant-con-
sumption encouraged.
Fluid milk. Great production of
nearly billion pounds approx
mated for 1912. Price ceilings en-
couraging farmers to sell their
milk for butter and evaporated
milk.
Cheese. Enough to eat and
enough left over for mousetraps.
Fresh fruits and vegetables.
Large supply but transportation

try.
Cereals. Tremendous supplies.
" Wheat, corn and rye flour avail
able in any required quantity.
Generally. the American house
wife will have to stop planning to
live out of can; shortage of gas
oline and rubber will curtail eat
ing out; packaged foods are likely
to be less abundant; sugar short
age will affect canning. The re-
suit will probably be much more
home cooking (and more or less
indigestion-depending upon the
cook) simple dishes will become
popular; more starches will be
eaten for there will be less meats
but, with all this, the United
States will remain the best-fed

Town Finance

Those of us whc follow town finances are relieved this
week of worry that increased as the months passed with
out funds being made available for public services to the
new Defense houses Red tape delay and legal technical
les were forcing Greenbe into the embarrassing situation
OF not being able to continue services new residents
At time when there cry throughout the Washington
area for more and houses this obviously silly
state of affairs
Now we have agreement which will make S36 900
available for 1912 expenditures This is the amount re-
quested by the Council services somewhere will have
to be reduced during the months ahead Half loaf of

By PHIL WEXLER

For the benefit of those people
who may have missed the accounts
and news releases during the past
two weeks some summary can not
do any harm regarding the fooG
situation in the United States. Ac-
cording to Claude R. Wickard.
Secretary of Agriculture, there
will be plenty to eat though some
foodstuffs will be strictly limited
for civilian consumption. This Inn
itation on certain foods is neces-
sary due to the amount consumed
by our armed forces and the need
TO send great amounts to Russia
and England. Sugar has already
been rationed-though there are
hints thrown about that the linii-
ton of half pound per week per
person may be relieved in the near
future-and there appears the
possibility that other foods, sucn
as coffee and tea may soon need
rationing restrictions.
Meats-all kinds. These may be
scarce for the next half year due
to the demands of Army con-
sumption. A soldier (estimated)
eats about 306 pounds of meat d
year as compared with a civilian
who eats about 172 pounds year.
Some planning of production IN
this field is already under way
to insure the civilian all the meat
he may require.
Pork. A huge production of this
meat may reach the market in
late November-and there will be
plenty for all.
Beef. Beef will be scarce to a
limited degree. The same applies
to mutton, lamb and veal.
Fat meats. Pork roasts, pork
chops, beef steaks, hams, may be
trimmed of fat and sold as lean
cuts-the fats going to industry
and fat-starved allies.

Except for few recent occasions when more auxaries

We are sorry the controversy fared up in such spec

we do not believe that Greenbe should have volunteer

feel that they prepared replace the regular force
and the town officials will continue the present effort to
work out satisfactory solution to the problems the whole
matter should be settled in short order u.s. course

Golf Clubs Open Drive
To Swell Entry LIST
For Mid-AtIantic
Manor Club Arranging
To Transport Players
To June Tourney

The heat is on this week among
the local country clubs to get out
a big entry for the Middle Atlantic
Golf Associations 42d amateur
championship. Only major amateur
affair listed here this spring, the
Atlantic should pull out a big
crowd at Manor Country Club June
3, 4 and S, even though all golfers
nowadays are troubled with trans
portation problems.
Harry G. Pitt, president Of the
Middle Atlantic Association, and
DR.. R. A. Keilty, secretary, have been
working as a team on entries and
solving of transportation difficulties
and hope to have all troubles
smoothed out before the tourney gets
under way a week from Wednesday.
Entries will close Sunday, May 81,
and Manor probably will turn in at
least two dozen candidates for the
championship and the senior title.
The senior tourney will be played
along with the championship. Fay
ingalls,, president of the Hot Springs
Co., won the Hinshaw Senior Trophy
last year at Hot Springs, Va.
Probably the coming Middle At
lantic will be the last such affair
for some time and many of the top
linksmen around town are looking
ahead to the tourney, since the
Maryland State amateur champion
ship next month at Baltimore isn't
likely to be heavily patronized by
Washington simon pures.
Pitt and Keilty hope to have
transportation arrangements made
by the latter part Of the week, in
volving use of private cars from
Silver Spring to Manor Club.
