New Sugar Stamps
For Furloughed Men
One-Pound Stamp For Every
20 Days of Furlough To Be
Issued.


20 Days of Furlough To Be
Issued.
Effective May "a, 1916, members of
the armed forces on furlough up to
100 days, will be issued individual
one-pound sugar stamps by the Office
of Price Administration, Leo H. Nc

nounced today. Prior to the issuance
of the new order those on furlough
between go and 100 days received
sugar ration books.
Members of the armed forces on
leave will receive one stamp for 7
to 20 days, two for 81 to SO days,
three for 40 to SO days, four for so
to 70 days, five for 80 to SO days and
six for 100 to 100 days.
Military personnel expecting to go
on furlough should make out their
applications at the army camps or
separation centers or apply to their
local ration boards. These applica-
tons are sent to the main OPA
Office in Baltimore and are acted on
the same day of arrival, says Ed

This new action provides uniform

DURELY
/ OFFICIAL
By BALLOT BOX

My friend Harvey the Rabbit"
tells me that the Washington County
Democratic Central Committee,
which was recently in the limelight
with its famous kangaroo Court"
is having family" troubles of its
own these days.
According to Harvey" the trouble
started when the question of endors-
ing a candidate for the U. S. Senate
came up. One member of the Com
mitee is reported to have demanded
that the Committee endorse Senator
Radcliffe, while at least two other
members are understood to be just
as emphatic in their demands that
the endorsement go to Governor
O'Conor. The net result, according to
Harvey" is that the Committee is
hopelessly split on the issue and
that, as a result, neither candidate
will get an official endorsement.
In spite of all the rumors that have
been flying around, to the effect that
Street, Baldwin is getting out of
the Governors race and that his
supporters would switch to one or
other of the remaining candidates,
you can take my word for it that
there just isn't a word of truth in
the rumors, Street, Baldwin is not
only staying in the race, but he has
just embarked on a comprehensive
advertising campaign on behalf of
his own candidacy and that of Mr..
Funk, with the first of the advertise
ments appearing in practically every
weekly paper in the State this week.
The Baltimore Sun must have
been really hard up for front page,
headline story, when they gave an
eight-column, streamer head to the
Truman Cash. story, particularly as
everyone knows that Cash was cam
paign manager for Taws in name
only and that he had only been at
the Tawes headquarters one time,
up to the day of his so-called resigna-
ton.
And here's something else. For
some strange reason, the letter from
Mr.. Cash to Tawes, telling of his
resignation, was postmarked two
hours after the Sun papers, carry
ing the story of the resignation, were
on the street.
And while 1 am on the CASH
subject, don't forget that the official
Democratic Central Committee of
Mr.. Cash's county have officially and
publicly denied that its endorsement
of Mr.. Tawes has been withrawn.
Lee Elgin, who has taken over the
duties of campaign manager at the
Tawes headquarters in the Lord
Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore, is do
ing bang up job. 1t is no secret
that Elgin would have liked to have
been on the Tawes ticket as candi-
date for State Comptroller, but
when things worked out differently,
Elgin showed his loyalty to Mr..
Tawes was something more than
just Zip service

NEW YORK, Aug. l (ANP)-
In reality this is an informal,
open-letter to Joe Louis, worlds
heavyweight boxing champion. If
the sports-layman is to completely
digest all that appears in the news
papers of the. nation and quite a
few of the ranking radio commen-
tators, boxing is in bad way. We
readily submit that it is and es-
pecially is this true of the State
of New York, where Commissioner
Edward Eagan eats from the hand
of Michael Strauss Jacobs. Jacobs,
by the way, is not as you might
have surmised a member of the
state athletic commission, boxing's
governing body, - he is merely
the promoter who tells commits
sions (or so it appears) what
matches are agreeable to him.
Come next September, one Joe
Louis steps into the ring to defend
his crown for the 23rd time against
Tami Mauriello, Bronzite, who has
been adjudged the easiest sort of
pushover for Louis match against
any man active in the prize ring
today. I've said repeatedly, weeks
and weeks before the actual fight
date, just how Louis opponents
figured to stand up. Again l say
that Mauriello will be licked by
the champion barring accidents or
some unforeseen act of God. By the

CLARIFYING THE WAGE-PRICE
 POLICY
New York Sun)

(New York Sun)
 By the question and answer method, with the answers coming from those identified only as "stabilization officials" the Journal of Commerce has clarified to some extent the meaning of the Admin istrations wage-price policy, When several of these questions and an" swerS are put together, 1t appears that the new policy permits Simul. taneouS application to the Wage StablliZation Board for wage rise and to the Office of Price Admin istration for a price rise, but that after the simultaneous submission of these applications difference develops in treatment. Regardless of what may happen to the applica. ton to OPA,, the application for wage rise is 0 binding commit ment and cannot be withdrawn. An offer to increase wages cannot be made contingent upon obtaining permission to increase prices; the WISE. will not entertain such ap- plications. Nor will OP.A., as Q general ruAs, make any commit ments on price rise before the WISE. has acted on a wage rise, though an unofficial intimation may be made in cases affecting whole industries.
 Another set of questions and answers shows that an employer, through settlement with union, may be committed to increase wages by an amount greater than the aps proved amount. Tn such a case the rise, though legal, would be only In part taken into account by the O.P.A. in considering an applica- ton for a price release. An em- ployer may attempt to coordinate wage and price increases so that one will be effective at the same time as the other. but if OP.A. de- lays its approval, the commitment to increase wages at the designated time is binding.

 They can not always be said to look to Republi- cans as leaders, however Sometimes it's the other way around. They step out as leaders and the Re- publicans follow them.
