Tn a move to clear up widespread misunderstanding concerning re- cent OPA amendment restricting the sale of dwelling houses, Chester Bowles, State OPA director, today issued a statement clarifying the situation.
 "The amendment does not pro- hibit the sale of properties aito- gether, as many people erroneously believe" Bowles asserted. "lt IS concerned only with the sale Of property which involves the evic- ton of tenants. Where no change of tenancy is involved in a sale or where a landlord wishes, to sell a dwelling in which he himself lives, the purchaser is completely free to regotiate terms of the sales con- tract without respect to the down paym ent requirements or the amendment. Sales for purposes or investment, whereby the property changes ownership but the tenants remain, are also unaffected by the amendment"
 HeHI COLlLIOA 10 SVhS~AhSS "N"As eyictions and not with sales Of property, Bowles explained. In sales where evictions would result, the purchaser must now put down one-third of the purchase price, and this sum of money cannot be bor- rowed. The tenant must have 90 days notice to vacate, after the landlord receives a certificate from the OPA area rent obce permit ting the eviction.
 Where the requirements of the amendment would cause special hardship" to the seller. provision is also made to waive these require ments. Such a case would be one in which the liquidation of an es- tate would be ordered by court and 1t would be impossible to make a reasonable sale to purchaser If he had to wait three months before being able to obtain the right to occupy
 Another case of special hard ship" might arise, too, in the event an owner were drafted and had 10 sei' his own home immediately to provide sufficient funds for his farnily's needs while he was in the r since tha introduction Of rent

Sale of Explosives
Under State Control

Garrett county dealers in explosives
are reporting that hardly anybody
seems to realize that new state law
which became effective last June
regulates the sale and use of dyna-
mite and other explosives.
Farmers are particularly ain the
dark" they say, and some are in
censed when dealers refuse to sell
them some dynamite to blast stumps
or open we'll on their property
Printed application forms are avail
able at the office Of John H. Carter,
county agent. Forms for those not
farmers are available at the office of
A. g. Ross, in the Court House.
The measure was enacted to pre-
vent sabotage and other subversivc
acts, and includes control of all eX-
plosives, with the exception Of am
munition for small firearms.
Coal companies must obtain deal
ers' licenses to handle powder used
by miners in blasting, and contractors
must also obtain such permits which
must be approved by the State Insur-
ancc Commissioner.

President Signs Daylight Saw
ings Bill for Duration of War

America will go on daylight-saving
time February 8 to conserve electric
ity for the titanic war effort.
President Roosevelt signed a day
Hght-saving bill on Tuesday and at
2 a. m. on February 8 the clocks will

July that the Federal Power commits
sion figured there would be a saving
of 736,282,OO0 kilowatt-hours OF
energy annually by putting the ma

The bill was similar to that enacted
during the first World war and it has
the same objective of greater effici.
ency in industrial war effort.
The new act will become ineffective
six months after the war ends unless

to terminate it at an earlier date.

Accident Oil Well
Has Been Abandoned

After more than a years labor OF
crews Of men employed by a COM
pany in drilling operations near Ac-
cident in an effort to discover oil or
gas in that community, decided one
day last week to abandon the we'll and
cease operations for the time being
at least.
The drill had reached a depth of
$3.50 feet when the tools became fas-
tened and notwithstanding the efforts
of men specially trained to correc:
this condition and release the tools
extending over a period Of three or
four weeks, it was found impossible
to do so. While a slight supply of gas
was struck at depth Of few hun
dred feet, this was piped off by the
casing.
Workmcn are now engaged in pull
ing the casing from the hold. Later
the derrick will be taken down and
possibly the machinery stored,

w. Lee Elgin, Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles, announced that the
corner metal plate which will be used
as the new 1912 automobile license
tag will be one and one-third inches
deep by three and one-half inches
long, and that the color combination
would be black numerals on an orange

to avoid confusion or delay.

they display the corner plates.
These changes are being made to
