Chevy Chase Gamers
Preserve 4,734 Quarts

The 10 members of the Chevy
Chase Cooperative Canning Pro-
gram have put up 4,734 quarts and
9l4 pints of canned food, with sew
eral more weeks to 60 before the
canning program ceases.
If bought in the stores this food
would cost $1a3977, according to
Mrs. Gerald l.. Wallace, director of
the cooperative canning centers.
All work is done on a cooperative
basis. The women are divided into
groups with not more than 10 in
each group working two days a week.
After six days of marketing DEM
onstration on the part of Mrs. Wal
lace, the women volunteered for the
purchasing tours. The women agree
ahead of time what they would like
to can on their next canning day.
The marketers then use their own
judgment in buying. The finished
product is divided equally among
the 10 Gamers in the group.
Organized this spring as a part of
the County Victory Garden program
under the supervision of Ed Stock,
the Chevy Chase center-at the
woman's club and at the elementary
school-are a part of a county,
wide program. The Board of County
Commissioners provides the paid in
structor and the pressure cookers.

Montgomery County Ends
Curtailed Liquor Sales

Daily sales of whisky and cordials
In the Montgomery County dispen-
saries, curtailed to three days a week
recently, will be resumed Tuesday.
It was announced yesterday by Beryl
r. English. general manager Of the
Montgomery County liquor dis
pensaries.
Mr.. English said there seems to be
no indication of rationing in the
county since the liquor situation has
improved since the curtailment pro-
gram was inaugurated.
Mr.. English also announced that
bars in the county will remain open
tomorrow. This will not change or
affect the plan made several weeks
ago by the retail beer licensees to
remain closed on Mondays until beer
becomes more plentiful, he said.
County bars nave continued to re-
ceive their quotas and it is esti-
mated that no cut will be made dur
ing the fall even though the brew
cries have recently cut the countys
quota by ID per cent to meet the
Army quota.

Fairfax 10 Ask FWA
For S642,4O0 Grant
To Build Sewers

The Fairfax County Board of Su-
pervisors has authorized j. j. Cor
balls, county sanitary district engi-
neer, to file an application with
the Federal Works Agency for a
grant of $642,400 for construction
of lateral sewer lines to serve eight
communities in Sanitary District
No. l.
The sewers would connect with
the trunk line sewer nearing COM
pletion in the Holmes Run water
shed, financed by a Federal grant
of more than 100000. The sum
of s575,070 is requested for actual
construction costs, and the remain
der is for land purchase and engi-
neering costs.
Data compiled by Mr.. Corbalis,
which will accompany the applica-
ton, shows that the proposed lat
eral lines would serve 5,132 persons
now, but are designed to take care
eventually of 27,500 users. Service
would be provided for 1869 dwell
ings, of which 1876 are FILA financed
The lines would also serve 1716O
apartment units, 81 trailer cabins
and $50 trailers.
Amounts Listed Sought.
The amount requested for each
community is listed as follows:
Groyeton. $157 ,377.05; Penn Daw,
$63, 1855; New Alexandria. $685.
809.75; Blunt's Lane, 1896. 40; Tre-
mont Gardens, $50, 1866; Greenway
Downs, $86,527.35; Hillwood, $22.-
9o9.75, and Lee Boulevard Heights,
$107 ,26050.
The project calls for two pumping
stations, one located at New Alex
andria and the other at Lee BouIe-
ward Heights. The project would
eliminate two pumping stations at
Hillwood.
Mr.. Corbalis said yesterday that
the application will be filed at once
with the Federal agency. Construc-
tion of the proposed lines has the
approval of the State and County
health departments, and letters
from the two departments will ac-
company the application.
Application Was Sought.
Federal Works Agency officials
several months ago requested the
County Board of Supervisors to file
an application for the project.
The trunk line when completed
will be operated by the county on a
lease basis. The communities of Belle
Haven and Fair Haven and the
town Of Falls Church, which already
have sewer systems, will connect
with the trunk line as soon as it is
completed.

ments after having been bitten by
a rabid dog, DR.. John M. Byers,
Prince Georges County health off,
GER, yesterday urged county resi-
dents to keep their dogs confined

in effect July 16, DR.. Byers said
All four of the animals were pets
but were found on the streets in
violation of the quarantine, he
added.
The Bladensburg resident received
his first treatment early last week
and now is out of danger, DR.. Byers
asserted. No new similar cases have
been reported, he said.
while the police are doing all
they can to prevent the spread Of
rabies by picking up stray dogs"
DR.. Byers declared, "the general
public must cooperate by keeping
dogs tied up or penned SO that they
cannot come in contact with any
rabid animals"
He explained that strays could
not be examined for rabies due to
the inability of the Health Depart
ment to check each one. The dogs
are placed in a pound on Ager road

Montgomery County
Planning IA Gardens

81 In preparation for next years
Victory Garden program, the Gar
den Information Centers In Mont-
gomery county have sent out ques-
tionnaires to all sectional leaders.
Leaders are asked to get in touch
with owners of the land used this
year and, If possible. obtain per-
mission for its use next year. They
are also asked to contact all indi-
Yidual gardeners and ask them to
continue their gardening efforts.
The Board of County Commits
sioners, the center announces, will
not continue its policy of giving
free plowing to owners of gardens
as it did last spring because of the
emergency.
However, to protect those persons
who last year paid eXorbitant prices
for their plowing and to help those
whose plots are already established,
the county has arranged for har-
rowing this autumn and plowing
and narrowing in the spring. This
work will be done at cost and is
to be paid for by the gardener.
Three plpwing schemes have been
worked out for consideration by
sectional leaders:
/. A section of the community
plot to be reserved for winter crops,
the rest of the plots to be narrowed,
fertilized and seeded in cover
crop. These plots would be har-
rowed and plowed again in the
spring.
2. Under the second plan, gar
deners will fork up their own gar
dens this fall, do their own ferti-
lizing and sowing OF cover crops.
Spring plowing will be done by the
county.
8. This plan provides that gar
deners will fork up their own plots
this fall, do their own fertilizing or
sowing of green manure and spade
up their own gardens in the spring.
Under this plan gardeners will re-
tain the plots they worked this year.
The can be fertilized and titled as
the holder wishes.

Virginia Milk Spread
Between Output and
Consumption Widens
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Sept. "A con-
stantly widening spread. between
the production and the consumption
of milk In Virginia Is revealed In
figures compiled by the State Milk
Commission in survey Of II Of the
Commonwealth's principal markets.
Although the survey has been un.
der way, for several weeks, the re-
suits were announced simultan-
eously with advices from Washing
ton today that Office Of Price Ad-
ministration contemplates an early
freezing" order intended to con-
serve the nations milk supply and
stave on rationing.
The projected freezing order has
been discussed among dairymen for
some time. but the idea did not take
concrete form until last week at q
regional meeting Of milk control au-
thorities in New York. It was
brought out at the New York meet
ing that the metropolitan area Of
New York City Is losing $4,000, 900
pounuS OF milk a month TO other
seaboard areas where production Is
far below consumption.
Diversion of this milk to other
areas, 1t was said. is producing a
serious situation In the New York
area,
Virginia is importing about two
thirds as much milk as her dairying
industry-now at an all-time peak
in productions able to put on
the markets.
Comparisons set up In the milk
commissions survey for June, 1912,
and June, 1913, indicate that while
the production of milk in Virginia
has increased during the last year,
the increase has not kept pace with
the increase in consumption.
