| Black Markets
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Here are some of the ways you can
help break up meat black markets,
as outlined by Secretary OF Agricul-
ture Wickard:
Learn the regulations "lots of
these persons do not realize that
they are violating any order of any
kind"
Check price ceilings and when
purchasing watch for illegal prices
sure sign Of q black market;
Retailers can look for the permit
number stamped on each wholesale
cut OF meat before buying: and since
at least some cuts in butchers cool
ers should show the stamp, pur-
chasers can help here, too;
Keep an eye out for private mar
kets which spring up outside regular
channels-often indicative of an il
legal trade;
In buying or selling livestock keep
careful records and check those con-
nected with your dealings.
The permit numbers STAMPED on
meat. starting April l, will be issued
by county Agricultural War Boards
formerly called AAA Committees)
IN towns and small cities, and by
local omces of the Food Distribution
Administration in large cities. These
numbers will be issued in connection
with permits slaughterers must OBJ

Maryland State police, yesterday
stopped more than 300 motorists in

Those who failed to show the

names and license numbers taken.
About 80 said they had failed to buy
the tax stamps.
Many reported they had lost their
stamps and were required to make
afidavits to that effect.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 28.-Marvland
had an air-raid test alert early yes
terday morning, but thousands OF
persons, including the entire popu-
lations of five counties, were not
aware of it.
Army spokesnen at the Sd Service
Command indicated they were not
entirely pleased with the results.
Sleeping citizens-who heard the
alarm signals-were awakened when
the first blue alert warning was
flashed from the Sd Service Com
mand to the States civilian defense
units.
But the signals hit snag at the
Salisbury and Cumberland control
centers, and the alarm never did get
out to wardens and residents of
W1comico, Worcester and Somerset
Counties, on the Lower Eastern
Shore. and Allegany and Garrett

Most folk think Of Mrs. Roosevelt

she is doing now the things she

sense of direction is absolute and

The Presidents mother, the late

wealth and crowned heads, but she
attempted to tell her young daugh-
ter-in-law that woman's place was
back in the house.
1t worked just about like per-
petual motion.
Usually Mrs. Roosevelt wears black
cotton stockings. She's always
climbing fences or wading fields or
busting around on long rambles and,
the girls say, cotton socks simply
are suited to her type of locomotion.

Mrs. Roosevelt probably has been
praised and condemned more for
her part In founding and promoting
the National Youth Administration,
now defunct, than anything else
she has done. She didn't want to
give up even when Congress, after
10 years, stopped the appropria-
tions.
Once she starts something, she
never loses interest. She goes back
to Arthurdale, the Federal financed
settlement project she promoted,
every year for grade school COM
mencements, baking her own cakes
and pies for the last school day
