METAL SCRAP DRIVE
URGED BY PRESIDENT

President Roosevelt said that the
average American home had not
been searched sufficiently for scrap
urgently needed by the nations
war industries.
While the nation has not yet
reached the point of taking metal
doorknobs and ornamental ironwork
for the scrap campaign, the Presi-
dent said that If the people do not
hurry their scrap collections the
Government will have to be more
drastic and literally take the needed
scrap metal away.
He told how, in three months, a
painstaking search of the White
House and the Executive offices had
yielded about five tons of scrap.
Judging from his own personal ex-
perience, he said, he is convinced
that the people have not completely
searched the average home for
scrap and lot of it Is still lying
around.

War Costs 9 Billion
In Two Months

The United States Government
spent about. $1,000, 1000 during
July and August to wage about
war against the Axis Powers, the
Federal Reserve Systems board of
governors reported.
According to the FRS, this ex-
penditure caused the public debt
to increase $4,7OO, 0OO,0O0 in July
and only slightly smaller amount
in August.
Tax receipts, seasonally low in
July and August, exceeded all other
Government expenditures, but did
not replace the money spent for
war purposes to any large degree,
the FRS stated.
With the present schedule of ex-
penditures and receipts the Treas
ury will need to borrow an average
of at least $4,O0O,O0O,OO0 month
during the remainder of the fiscal
year, it was pointed out.
The Federal Reserve disclosed
that the Commerce Department es-
timated that the national income
increased from $4,000, 100000, in
1871, to an annual rate of $112.-
600, 100000 in the second quarter
of 1912.

Auto Club Appeals
To Motorists

Motorists throughout the state
are being urged by the Automobile
Club of Maryland not to sabotage
the war effort by excessive speed.
Following reports that many driv-
ers are exceeding the 40 miles an
hour maximum requested by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Her.
bert r. O'Conor to conserve tires
and gasoline, l.. e. Kolmer, Gen.
Manager of the Club, has asked the
voluntary cooperation of all motor
lists to work together to prevent
sabotage by speed.
Twelve states have already reduc-
ed speed limits to 40 miles, while
the governors of ten others have
publicly pledged cooperation with
the Presidential appeal on volun-
tary basis. Highway patrol officers
in two other states stop motorists
travelling in excess of 40 miles per
hour, and cite them for reckless or
unsafe driving Il they find upon
Examination mechanical imperec4
lions in the car, or bad tires. Legis-
lation is necessary to change the
legal maximum speed in many stat
es, including Maryland, and such ac-
ton cannot be taken until the next
session of the General Assembly in
1913.

Oil Rationing To
Allow Is Degrees

Fuel oil will be rationed on a
basis of the amount required to
maintain daytime room tempera-
ture of 65 degrees, under average
weather conditions, the Office of
Price Administration announced.
Easch householder's sheet of
coupons will be tailored" to his
particular needs. The amount of
oil he has on hand, when he regist-
ers will be taken into account inde-
termining his seasons supply.
These and other details of the
rationing program were made pub
lie by the OPA some twenty-four
hours after this agency was direct
ed formerly by Donald M. Nelson,
WPB chairman, to ration household
heating oil in thirty Eastern and
mid Western States.
The rationing plan, in general, is
aimed at cutting consumption
twenty-five per cent in the affected
States. Householders will register
for it, as they did for sugar and
gasoline, on dates and at places to
be announced later.
1t was considered likely that the
special fuel-oil coupons will be in
the hands of consumers by mid
October.
AS stated by the WPB, the ration
ing system goes into operation, to
all intents and purposes, on October
/, since either coupons or promises
to hand over coupons will be re-
quired for all oil deliveries after
that date.

The Miracle House

The Miracle House, the proven
torium for undernourished children
owned and operated by the Mary
land tuberculosis Association clos
ed its 1912 season on Saturday,
August 29th, when 100 children
we're returned to their homes.
Beginning in 1919, the Miracle
House has treated thousands of chill
dren who were in contact with tu-
berculosis, and used the summer
months to build up their bodies so
that they might Withstand their con-
tact with the disease when they re-
turned to their homes.
The present season opened on
June 29th, when these same child
rem were taken to Claiborne where
the Miracle House is located.
"The present season was one of
the most successful we have ever
had," said William B. Matthews,
Managing Director of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association. at is
most important that these child
ren's health be guarded, so that
they might become useful citizens
to our nation when the war is over"
The Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation, which operates the Miracle
House, is maintained through the
sale of Christmas Seals. This year
the Christmas Seal Sale will open
on November 23rd and will con-
tinue through Christmas.

Another vital scrap material is
scrap rubber. With the enemy con-
trolling over 900 of the world
crude rubber supply, and with syn
thetic rubber in volume at least a
year away, scrap rubber has become
an essential war material. We need
all we can get.
Every evidence we have received
indicates that the only way we can
meet the requirements of war pro-
duction is to obtain every bit of
scrap from every home, every COM
mercial establishment, every indus
trial enterprise in the country.
This is the peoples job. 1t is a
tangible task that anyone can per-

interfering with other war work or
with personal responsibilities.

Rev. J. r. Bicking and Ralph Reed.
Circle Two of Woman's Christian

to salvage junk in this community.
A committee was appointed to can
vass the town and outlying districts,
in conjunction with High School
pupils.
1t is planned to collect scrap iron,
steel, lead, and other metals, old
rubber, rags, manila rope, burlap
bags and any other materials that
the government needs to further
the war effort.
Central collection points will be
announced by the Salvage Commit
tee After a house to house can

the like. 1t is hoped that farmers
will ransack their barns, sheds and
fence corners SO that everything in
the form Of scrap can be delivered
to place in town. 1t will later be
transported to some point where 1t
can be manufactured into imple-
ments Of war.
The armed forces Of the United
States need every bit of scrap that
can be found in this community, as
we'll as in other sections Of the
country. Uncle Sam must have the
scrap now in your home, your barn
or on your farm to win this war.
1t is everybody's duty to get out and
