YOU CAN BUILD A HOUSE

Many restrictions have been lifted
by Government agencies on the build
ing of new houses, and the WPB has
decided not to interfere with the own
ers of new houses regarding total
floor areas, the number of electric
outlets and plumbing fixtures, etc.
Credit terms can be arranged
through the local banks by moderate
down-payments. The family tkat is
ambitious to own home will be able
to carry through it's plans. OF course
no one is going to guarantee the
home-owner the help of skilled build
ers or even common labor.
Perhaps we might put some old
time American methods to work and
return to the practices that prevailed
at the end of the century when many
houses were built by workers in mills
and factories, after hours, and un
til very late at night. That's the way
it was done in the good old days.

THE FARMERS DOLLARS

According to statistics the farmers
of the country are expected to re-
ceive $13,20O,O00,0O0 this year or
more than three times the amount
that went to the farm owners in 1889
as their net income, after payment
of expenses.
The incomes of farmers climbed
rapidly in this war, just as in the
first World War. In 1918 farm
lands doomed in prices from 5000 an
acre to $500 an acre, in some parts
of the wheat and farm belts. The
results were disastrous as long per-
iod of farm foreclosures followed the
192O's. There has been a somewhat
similar boom during this war---but
not quite so wild. Nevertheless there
has been enough speculation so that
there will be bareback shortly at
ter TIE boom days of the present war

BE THANKFUL AND SAVE

With families 80 scattered and wo-
men SO busy with war Jobs, Thanks
giving Day this year does not suggest
lavish feast Food as we know, is
war supply, to be conserved and
shared
We can all have Thanksgiving din
ners, and have thankful hearts, but
we should waste no valuable supplies.
All those bits of skin and gristle dis
carded in the preparation of meat,
and those bones and portions of fat
left on the plates should be boarded
and melted down to extract every
drop of precious fat This should be
returned to the meat dealer for extra
ration points and cash, so it can be
processed and distributed to factories
and war plants. They need this indus
trial fat to run their machines and
manufacture their products just as
much as housewives need butter and
bacon.
Japs Control Fats
Ask Joe, out in the Pacinc on de-
stroyer-he'l tell you TO save your
kitchen fat because lie knows why
we are so short of Industrial fats. The
Japs now control the world supply
OF Iats and oils, and have since they
seized the islands of the Far East.
He knows too it may be a matter of
years before prewar commerce can be
1e-established, and that until it is,
used kitchen fat must help supply
this deficit
Ask Jane, an Army Nurse in a
war hospital behind the lines in
France-she'll tell you how vitality
needed are the medicines that depend
on the products and by-products OF
used fat in their manufacture. She'll
explain that you are saving lives
when you save fat.
Fats For Munitions
Ask young Dick, now training with
the infantry in Alabama-he'll tell
you he may not get to Europe, but
.le hopes TO get to Tokyo, and he's go
ing to need plenty of munitions
(they depend on used fat, also) to
inish the job he has started.
We at home must finish our job
too, and be even more conscientious
than ever in saving used fat on the
nome front. We should be thankful
we have tkis opportunity to support
The efforts of our armed forces. For
! lat, saved in small amounts in every
! nome, adds up to tremendous vol
ame of industrial fat, and is an i'm
portant factor in our war economy
since it insures the continued manu-
acture of supplies needed by civil
ans as well as our fighting men.

typewriter System, with law en-
forcement agencies of ~ Eastern

police information from any or all
of the $50 stations now comprising
this system, Governor Herbert r. o.
Conor has made known.
Installation of the teletypewrtier
system, approved by the Legislature
as Il service function of the Depart
ment of Maryland State Police, was
made possible by budget amend
ment signed by Governor O'Conor
some weeks ago. Installation was be-
gun as promptly as the required
equipment could be procured, and
will be completed around Nov. Is.
The new Maryland Police Teletype-
yriter System, consisting of the Bal
timore City Police Department and
the Maryland State Police Headquar-
tiers and the nine State Police Bar
racks, connecting through the Penn
sylvania State Police at Harrisburg,
and through Washington with Virgin
ia to the South, will give the various
Jaw enforcement agencies in this
lion from any one of the twelve
States now enjoying the service, it
was pointed out.
This teletypewriter service not on
" will take care of broadcasts and
alarms from one department to an
other, but it also will be used by the
State Police to transact the greater
majority of their routine business
procedure between Headquarters and
the several barracks.
The installation of the teletype-
writer system will not replace the
efficient and well-equipped radio in
stallations in either the Baltimore
City Police Department nor the
Maryland State Police Department
The installation will relieve the
traffic which is now going over the
air from point to point, thus enabling
the radio to be used in communica.

Application of the teletypewritel
system will assure a greater degree
of secrecy, accuracy and speed, the
Governor declared, and will reduce
greatly the inevitable human errors
which result from verbally re-routet
messages over large portions of the
Country. Through the teletypewriter
system, alarms can be transmitted 81
simultaneously over several States and
the information is instantly available
to all units utilizing the system.

AUTO TRAFFIC ON FERRY

Automobile traffic ON the Chesa-
psake Bay Ferry between Sandy
Point and Matapeake continued to
show a sharp increase during the
month of October, Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor made known following Il
report from Ferry Manager B. Frank
Sherman.
The number of automobiles using
the ferry during October, 1914, was
8,463, an increase of 2,810 or 18%
over the 1868 automobiles carried
in the same month of 1913.
Truck traffic was UP almost 80 4,
from 3,724 trucks carried in October,
1913. to 4.O46 in 1914, an increase
of 1922. The number of passengers,
excluding drivers of cars and trucks,
carried during the month declined
1877, but the total number of persons
carried, including drivers, increased
2,375 to total of 67,158 persons for
the month.
The continued rise in traffic car
ried is attributed, Govern O'Conor
pointed out, to the greater schedule
fexibility permitted by he shorter
time required for the run between
the Eastern and Western Shores.
While formerly it took three-quarters
of TN hour to cross from Annapolis,
crossing can now be made in less
than one-kalf hour, SO that whenev-
er traffic jam presents, the schedule
can be stepped up until the extra
traffic has been transported.
