Special track facilities are to be
installed at 14th and U streets NV.
by the Capital Transit Co. to
help relieve streetcar congestion on
Fourteenth street downtown in
morning and evening rush hours.
When the installations are COM

into U street and cars westbound on
U street turned north into Four

"bottleneck."

craving, route So cars between -Four.
teenth street and Colorado avenue

from the national OPA Office that

Although the mailing of the books

OPA office has been mailing out ap-
plications from the mailing center
here for some time, it was revealed,
and the mailing is expected to be
completed in the next few days.
OPA officials here pointed out that
the local office was ahead of schedule
and that, therefore, it is already pre-
pared to receive the filled-out appli-
cation cards.
318,700 Cards to Go Out.
Altogether, 3l8,70O application
cards are being mailed out from the
mailing center at Twenty sixth and
D streets NV. to families in the
District and in nearby Maryland
and Virginia. An average of three
books will be sent back for every ap-
plication turned in, since all mem
bers of family must register on
single application card.
Throughout the country, 100000
600 applications are being distrib-
uted for the registration of 100000 :
900 persons. The cards are being
mailed from IS mailing centers. and
it is expected the whole job will take
three weeks.
The cards sent from the District
office should be returned at once but
in no case later than June 10.
Any one who fails to receive an
application may obtain one at his
nearest post office between June 5
and June 10. After June 10, it will
be impossible to register until Au-
gust /.
Sometime between June 10 and
July 81 the ration books-one for
every member of the family regis
tered-will be sent to every home.
Replace First Two Books.
The new books will be used to re-
place the first two books-those now
used for coffee, sugar, shoes, meats
and canned foods. Book 3 will be
flexible and may also be used later
for new ratioing programs, such as
clothes, If they become necessary.
Each application blank will be
divided into three parts: Cd an iden-
tif1cation stub which should be de-
tached and retained by the appli-
cant; co an application on which is
to be typewriter or printed plainly
the name of the head OF the family
and the address to which the books
are to be sent, and 80 the card on
which is to be written plainly the
name of every member of the family,
along with his age, who is eligible to

Greeting Gard Output
Ordered Cut by WPB

The War Production Board an
nounced today that the variety and
tonnage of greeting cards available
to the public for the duration of
the war had been limited sharply
because of the increasing scarcity
of paper and paper board
Publishers of commercial cards
were limited for the rest of the
year and for each calendar year
the war may last to not more than
so per cent of the new designs pro-
duced during 1912 and to no more
than 30 per cent of the old designs
which can be printed from plates
on hand. The 1912 retail sales vol
ume in greeting cards was estimated
at s100,00000O.
E. w Palmer, deputy director of
the WPB printing and publishing
division, estimated the order would
save approximately 23.600 tons of
paper stocks plus an undetermined
amount of virgin paper fiber and a
large quantity Of copper and zinc
used to make plates from which
cards are engraved or printed.

Retail Liquor Dealers
Required 10 Pay Cash
In Making Purchases
Commissioners Adopt
Series Of New Rules
For Local Stores

Washington retail liquor dealers
were placed on cash basis, as to
supplies purchased from manufac-
turers or wholesalers, in a series of
new regulations adopted today by
the Commissioners.
The cash basis rule is to become
operative so days after the new rules
are effective. which will be after five
days of publication of a legal notice
Retailers now have credit on bill
payment until the 18th day of the
month following the month in which
they make their purchases. Here
after the bills must be paid on or
before delivery, if delivery is to be
made legally.
This new rule. and others, resulted
from a public hearing and long
series of conferences in past months.
The new cash basis rule applies to
wines ard beers as we'll as hard
liquor. The consumer is forbidden
by the District Alcoholic Beverage
Act from buying hard liquor on
credit except for bona fide hotel
guests, but may buy light wines and
beers on credit.
Discount Rule Postponed.
The Commissioners revealed they
had postponed indefinitely adoption
of proposals to restrict and regulate
discounts by wholesalers or manu-
facturers to retailers, because of
present economic conditions" They
said a proposed scale of discounts
would be unworkable on any per-
manent basis now because of OPA
regulations.
One of the other rules adopted
by the Commissioners will require
"on-sale" retailers to provide legible
markings of the brand of beer being
sold from a tap or spigot, this to be
legible to the. customer for a dis
tance of 10 feet from the dispenser
outlet. The purpose is to prevent
substitution of one kind of beer for
the brand the customer orders.
Move Against Bootlegging.
In move said to be designed to
prevent bootlegging the Commits
sioners also approved rule to re-
quire that any retail customer buy
ing hard liquor in an amount In ex-
cess of II quarts or beer in excess of
48 quarts must have in his possess
sion, when transporting the goods, a
bill of sale, showing the names and
addresses Of the seller and the pur-
chaser and the quantities sold.
Another rule was adopted for the
protection of residents from having
to appear recently before the ABC
Board to protest issuance of a pro-
posed liquor license. The Commits
sioners ruled that where an appli-
cation for permit or transfer of
permit for any place has been
withdrawn by the applicant, a Sec
ond application by the same person
for a license Of the same class at
the same place shall not be consid-
cred within one year of the date of
withdrawal of the first application,
unless the ABC Board finds new
petinent evidence" is presented.

WarrantsSought
In D. +. Potato
Black Market
Vigorous Enforcement
Of Ceiling Prices
Is Promised

Warrants charging a number of
persons here with having sold
potatoes at above the ceiling price
were expected to be issued this
afternoon.
John Laskey. chief attorney for
the District Office of Price Admin
istration, said he would request the
warrants at an afternoon conference
with United States Attorney Edward
M. Curran.
After a meeting yesterday with
Mr.. Curran, Mr.. Laskey promised
vigorous enforcement action" to
halt what he described as wide
spread violations of price ceilings on
potatoes"
Black Market Admitted.
1t was the first time that any one
IN the District OPA officially had
admitted the existence of black
market operations in potatoes.
1t has been known for weeks that
OPA investigators have been work
Ing quietly to collect evidence
against persons connected with the
ooNA w Va e1iC POIdeO sDldCh IlldIk IkcI.
OPA officials. however, were afraid
publicity might drive underground
the real perpetrators of the black
market-the shippers and other per-
sons responsible for unloading the
illegal stocks of potatoes on the
local markets.
For this reason, OPA had not
taken action to prosecute small re-
tailers who have been selling pota-
toes above ceiling prices.
Action Is Planned.
Robert K. Thompson, District
OPA administrator, said following
Mr.. Laskey's statement that "the
time of passing out warnings to
known violators has passed"
1T is becoming increasingly evi-
dent that warnings have not stop
ped black market dealing" Mr..
Thompson said. Therefore, there
is no other course open but vigor-
ous campaign to insure that regula-
tlons are adhered to strictly"
