most enjoyable parts of our stay
was seeing folks from home. Sorry
to have missed County Clerk Clay
ton Watkins and his wife while
there.
There were a number of Red
Cross Units in Miami, meeting
daily except Saturday and Sunday
Quality and not quantity seemed to
be their watchword in turning out
their work as everything was in
spected to the minutest detail by
expert supervisors, before passed,
no one being permitted to assist
without a uniform, cap, etc. l at
tended the Miami Shores Unit to-
gether with Mrs. A. w. He'll, a
resident of Washington Grove, who
owns most attractive home in
that vicinity. This reminds me,
both she and Mr.. He'll asked to be
remembered to their friends in this
community.
Our trip home was made in three
and one half days, much too fast
for comfort and I am still tired
from that 1900 mile ride.
Stopped at the Indian River
Hotel, at Rockledge, Fla, the first
night out and it is one inviting
place, the scenic drive from there
along the Indian River to Cocoa,
which we took the next morning
surprising description.
Reaching Monte Vista Lodge
near Brunswick, Ca, that evening
We were surprised to see the porch
filled with young men. Thought at
first they might be ball players, so
you can imagine our feelings when
we learned they were twenty-seven
members of the S. S. ESQ Baton
Rouge crew torpedoed off the coast
of Georgia that morning. Seeing
them made the war feel very real
especially as one of the boys, John
Boyle, Jr., was from Solomon's
Island. This oil tanker and a crew
of forty, two being lost at sea,
twenty-seven with Mrs. Lane, the
proprietor at Monte Vista Lodge
and the rest in Brunswick.
The Red Cross supplied their
needs in the way of clothing, Mrs.
Lane served them breakfast, lunch
and dinner and having lost her rest
the night before she looked very
tired. Anyone with such a spirit
of patriotism should be rewarded
SO when travelling south make it
your aim to have this place as one
of your "Stop Overs. You will
find the surroundings ideal. the
meals well served and altogether a
pleasant and restful place to stay
Two hours after our arrival, a
special bus was sent by the Stand
ard Oil Co., to convey the boys to
New York and with many express
sions of gratitude to their hostess,
they departed. Some of them said,
"No more sea for me-"
The weather proved fine all the
way until we reached Richmond but
the clouds soon lifted and we were
surprised upon reaching Bethesda
to learn that snow, hail, and rain
had made their appearance there
that afternoon. This sounded like
a real taste Of winter for although
we had the pleasure ? ? of sitting
by the fire in Miami during the
early part of our stay, when we
left the weather was just like
spring-time.
Gaithersburg today reminds me
of the climate we left and it is good
to be home again.
One of our friends in welcoming
us back said, eff you and the
Mayor had remained away much

Gaithersburg Refused
Home Mail Delivery

Gaithersburg's bid for house-to-
house mail delivery has been frus-
trated for the time being, at least,
by Post Office Department rul-
ing to the effect that the town
does not qualify for such service.
In letter to Postmaster Melvin
Ridgley, Ambrose O'Connell, first
assistant Postmaster General, ad-
vised that receipts of the Gathers
burg post Office did not amount to
the annual net of $4,000 required
by law for the establishment of
city service. During the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1912, Mr..
O'Connell revealed, net receipts of
the Gaithersburg office were $3.50.
Efforts to obtain home mail de-
livery for the towns approximate
ly 1900 residents were instituted
by Mrs. Charles Fox, who circu-
lated petition for this service and
obtained several hundred sigma
lures. The petition was presented
to Post Office Department officials
by a delegation headed by Mayor
William McBain and T. W. Troxell
a few weeks ago.

n awaited President Roose-
velt's Labor Day pronouncement
regarding his plan for control
of the cost of living. He
stirred Congress and the coun-
try alike by demanding Con-
gressional action toward plac-
ing ceilings on farm products
and wages. He did not propose
any specific remedy but warned
the lawmakers that control of

Demands beyond October /
Action and that if the
Congress failed to
act by that time he would,
under his emergency powers,
take the problem over by execu-
tive order.
The President will get the
Congressional backing sought.
Pro-labor and the farm-bloc
senators will squirm and twist
but the legislation will be en-
acted. This legislation will be
the most extreme yet. It will
limit the price of all farm COM
modities to parity or recent
prices whichever is higher and
will freeze wages at a level to
be established.
Few of US recognize the need
for many stringent measures
recommended and adopted, and
a study of the necessity will
probably help US accept such
regulations in "win-the-war
spirit" We are told by experts
that the cost of food products
and the wage of labor are so
closely allied that each has an
immediate effect on the other.
If food prices rise labor de-
mands more pay and if pay is
increased the price of food
products rise. To control one
and not the other would prob
ably be worse than no control.
That initiation (which all real
ize would mean ruin) must be
avoided is generally accepted.

During the next twelve months
the American people will have
much more money for spending
than there will be goods and
services. Unless controlled this
condition cannot help but create
