Public school teachers are again
being asked to volunteer their serv-
ices to issue ration book No. a, for
which Marylanders will register late

by j. William Eggleston, state ra-
tioning officer.
F. E. Rathbun, county superintend-
ent of schools, and other school
superintendent of Maryland met
with Maryland OPA administration
officials in Baltimore Monday and
discussed tentative plans for the dis
tribution of the book.

issuance had not yet been fixed but
that they would probably be issued
sometime during the last ten days Of
October The registration period will
will last for at least three days.
No. books are expected to be
used in the rationing of processed
foods, picking up where the No. 2
books leave off, and will go into eff
feet early in November.
The No. book, distributed entirely
by mail, has gone to 100000 Mary
landers, compared w. h 2,047,0 900 to
receive the No. 2 book
Eggleston said that the registra-
ton for the No. 4 book would be
simple, requiring no declaration of
food supplies on hand as was done
during registration for the No. 2
book The form will be a family
registration with one member of a
family qualified to obtain books for
all members of his family.
Book four is designed to last at
least two years. There will be 384
stamps, printed in blue, red, green
and black.
The red and blue stamps are to be
used in connection with red and blue
tokens, to be introduced early in 1914
and given as change in stamp eXpen-
ditures for meat, dairy products and
processed foods.
Green stamps will be used on an
"interim basis" with blue processed
food stamps much in the manner the
brown stamps of book three are now
being used in the meats-fats program
Twelve of ninety-siX unit stamps
printed in black are designated fol-
sugar The same number are marked
for coffee, which no longer is ra-
toned These and 70 others marked
"spares" will be reserved for any adj
ditional foods rationed.

Squirrels Reported
Scarce In Most Areas
SpOrtsmen Hunters May Get
Limited Quantities of
Ammunition

Although some hunters have been
successful in getting their bag limits
on squirrel, the animals seem to be
plentiful in only few sections of this
area, according to Joseph A. Minke,
regional game warden.
He declared squirrels were par
ticularly scarce in nearly all of Gar
rett county although reported plenti-
full in several nearby sections of West
Virginia.
May Get Ammunition
Sportsmen hunters will get limited
quantities of shotgun ammunition al
lowed them by the War Production
Board through established retailers,
the same as before the war, according
to the Interior departments Fish
and Wildlifc service.
Under WPB provisions, sportsmen
will obtain ammunition certificates
from retailers in registration from
October l to November Is. Prior to
this period, the service announced,
only needs of farmers requiring am
munition for control of predatory
animals and game birds will be con-
sidered
After needs of farmers have been
satisfied, the WPB ruling allows
sportsmen fifty rounds of twenty
two caliber cartridges, twenty rounds
of center fire ammunition and twen-
ty-fivc rounds of shotgun shells.
Hunters are being asked to save
the metal part from used shells.

Bird Smashes Into
Ration Board Window
Pheasant Pays With His Life
| For His Rash Act

Even the birds are coming to the
Ration Board!
Whether or not it was to see about
the necessity of requiring red meat
stamps from hunters, will not be
known in this instance because the
young pheasant who called on the Ra-
ton Board Tuesday morning about
$50 was little too eager. 1t dashed
against the window pane, SCATTERING
the glass, and landed on the venetian
blind, still alive and kicking, but with
a broken neck.
Conveniently, Lloyd Cook, deputy
game warden, was right there on the
spot and gave permission to the Ra-
ton Board employees to keep it for a
feast. So for the first time in her
life, Miss Coral McRobie picked
feathers from a pheasant in her
apartment nearby and pheasant was
duly eaten legally, although still out
of season.
When the crash of window glass
came, office workers said they first
thought somebody had shot at them.
A lot of people grippe about the
Ration Board, and rules and regula-
tons handed down from Washington,
but no one has as yet been riled to
the point of shooting, although a
farmer was seen about to kick down
the door of the place the other day,
when he found them closed for the
afternoon.

epidemic - the worst in twelve
years-struck particularly hard at
congested war production centers.
The outbreak still places a great
burden upon the Foundation be-
cause many Of those stricken will
be patients in 1914 and some OF
them for many years thereafter.
