Mr. Potter attenaed the banquet at the Metropolitan Club, of Washington, given last night by Dr. Harry A. Gar field. national fuel administrator, to the nineteen state administrators thus tar appointed. The appointment was offered Mr. Potter Monday night and lie was asked to attend the conference >f state fuel administrators In Or. Garfield's oUlee yesterday afternoon. Mr. Potter accepted the appointment and came to Washington at once. The official duties of Mr. Potter as rum administrator for Pennsylvania will be first to select a small advisory committee for tile state, then to ap point local committees In the coun ties and cities for the purpose of in vestigating and reporting on local conditions. In co-operation with the national fuel administrator he will then take all possible steps to relieve and improve fuel conditions in the commonwealth, As state fuel administrator Mr. Pot ter will have an immense responsi bility. not only to the consuming pub lic but" also to every element in the coal Industry. His power and influ ence In the life of Pennsylvania will be enormous. Virtually all questions involving price, supply and distribu tion of coal in Pennsylvania will be settled by him.

It will be upon his recommendation that the law will lie Invokedagainst viola tors by the Federal fuel authorities.

He will virtually ap portion the coal supply of the entire state, sending coal to points where it is needed and withdrawing coal from points where there is an oversupply. If hoarding of coal is reported. It will be the duty of Mr. Potter to advise the Federal fuel administration to take action against the hoarders. if It is found that coal companies are supplying certain industries be- a use those industries are willing to pay a price above the rate fixed by the Government while other Indus tries are without fuel, it will be Mr. Potter's duty to see that action is taken against the offending com panies. ~, Hut Mr. Potter's primary duty will be to see to it that the coal bins of the homes of Pennsylvania are kept tilled, and filled at a reasonable price. Mr. Potter is undertaking a task of the ,-reatest difficulty, one which calls for administrative ability, tact, fairness and broad understanding. Many men have been considered by the natlornl fuel administration for litis position, and Mr. Potter was finally chosen because his record con ■> (need the national officials that lie wmild hear the claims of the small consumer and of the worker in the ..',.1 mine with the readiest sympathy. > would insist on a square deal for t n> operator* of the industry.

BRANDS AS LIE RUMOR THAT GOODS ARE SOLD Division Manager Declares Every Article Is Given Away Charles Scott, manager of the Pennsylvania division of the Amer ican Red Cross, in a statement to-1 day corrects false statements that i have been mado regarding the dls- ■ posal of the work of the women of the society. Many rumors have been i spread which cast discredit on the; society, It has been said that in- 1 ftead of sending away the sweaters, j socks, and other articles knitted by the women for the soldiers, they! have been sold. Mr, Scott says: "There Is being maliciously circu lated a report that sweaters, socks 1 and other articles knit by the Red j Cross are being sold, either to the' public in shops direct to the soldiers. This report is, so far as I know, absolutely untrue, There has ] not been one singlo Instance brought l to our attention of the sale of any article, either knitted or otherwise made by the Red Cross workers, and turned into any Red Cross Chapter, I branch or auxiliary, or any supply warehouse. If any wilful case of! the sort should come to our notice, 1 the charter of the chapter or sub sidiary sanctioning it would be irn- | mediately withdrawn, with such! publicity as to cause very unenviable; notoriety to the offenders. It' It should be proved that any individual < has sold articles after they have been turned in, immediate steps wilH be taken to prosecute the offender. "Your attention is called to the; fact that It is a violation of the United States criminal law for any- j one to use the name or emblem of! the Red Cross to assist In the salei of merchandise, unless they acquire the right prior to 1905. "While there is no way to prevent people from making the same types of articles as are now produced by the Red Cross workers, and selling them for their own advantage, yet! should they try to use the name or, emblem of the Red Cross in connec tion with such sales, they will be criminally proceeded ngalnst. "I am making this statement and conveying this warning in order that through you wide publicity may be given to the Red Cross intention to preserve In every way possible the' sacredness of the Red Cross emblem j and to prevent the public front be- j ing imposed upon by maliciously in clined people. "It is suggested that you give pub-1 licity to this notice through your lo cal newspapers. "CHARLES SCOTT, •'Mgr., Penna. Division, A. R. C." j Grind Your Own Flour and Save Much Money The home grinding of grains is a! forgotten art that the present day food situation is again bringing into' prominence. The cost of the commercial grind-j ing of grains—not grinding, bolting! and discarding a portion of the j product but merely grinding the! whole grain—is something like one- j fifth cent a pound. With wheat at two-twenty a bushel It Is worth three and two-third cents a pound. Whole wheat flour ought not to cost more i than four nnd one-half cents. If in practice we have to pay six or seven ! cents for the product, it is very easy to see where one can save by using the common hand mill. There are a number of uses forj the home mill other than the making! of whole wheat flour. The home mill j may be used for grinding corn, rye, | buckwheat and rice. All these grains, as well as wheat, may be j ground in any form from mere cracking to the finest flour. Grains for porridge may be cooked whole, J but cracking them hastens the cook-1 ing process and makes mastication less difficult. The finer the grain is 1 ground the quicker it will cook, and ! the owner of the home mill may suit his own pleasure in the matter of making different grades of cracked grains for various purposes. Still another advantage of home grinding is that one may have a fresher product and avoid loss due to the spoilage of whole wheat flour which is often in an inferior con- j dltion when purchased and continues ! to spoil in the cbnsumer's pantry. 1 In their natural condition grains without sterilization will keep much : better whole than they will when | ground. One who has suitable stor- j age room may purchase wheat or> corn l'y the bushel and grind it for l home use as the occasion requires. With reasonable precaution to pro- ] tect it from dampness and mice, the ; whole grain will keep well for thei season, whereas a similar quantity] of whole wheat flour or meal will bo] likely to become infested with insect | life. Corn Flour It takes about ten minutes to] grind one pound of corn to a fine; flour for baking purposes. This in- 1 eludes a second run through the mill. The second run is advisable ] because with the grinding plates t tightly adjusted as they must lie forj flne flour, the strain is very heavy, I considerable muscular exertion is re-j yuired and the grinding is slow. The efficient and easy method is to, run the corn through the mill fori the first time with ioosened plates, thus breaking up the grains into a coarse meal. Then tighten the] plates and put this coarse meal ; through again. Corn-Meal Five minutes' grinding with suit ] ably adjusted plates will make one pound of a coarse corn-meal for corn mush or corn porridge. Whole Wheat Flour With plates tightly adjusted, one pound of an excellent fine wheat flour—flne enough for making loaves! or even light pastries—can be turned through the home mill in ] about four and one-half minutes. Because of the smaller grain it is not necessary to use two grindings as in the case of the corn. Cracked Wheat One pound cracked wheat can be made in one and one-half minutes. lUce In these milling tests only the nat ural brown rice was used. Rice grinds very fast. Being more brit tle, it does not tend to"cake" or form soft masses in the mill and i delay the process of grinding. A pound of the finest rice flour can be milled in three minutes. This Hour mp.y be at:,led to wheat flour in haklng or used to make blanc mange or custards. Cracked rice is milled in one minute, in this form it will cook much more rapidly than the whole grain or it may be added to oatmeal or corn for porridge. —From "Common Sense on the Milling Question," by Milo Hastings, in Physical Culture.

More than two and a half billion dollars of new taxes are levied by the measure, which has been in the making since last April. As soon as the bill is engrossed and signed to-day by Vice-President Mar shall and Speaker Clark, it will be sent to President Wilson, who is ex pected to sign it immediately. Senate discussion to-day was brief, participated in by but few mem bers, all of whom realized futility of opposition. Most of the criticism was upon the second-class postage in creases. The bill levies more than $2,500,000,000 in taxes. Senator Penrose in discussing thel measure said: "There are features in this meas-| ttre most objectionable to me and of I a character that I cannot defend in public; but I take the measure as a whole, and even If it Is 80 per cent, good I feel that the government needs the revenue and that it is my duty to vote for the moasure. "Tho munition tax Is obviously a most discriminatory tax. On these enormous war pronto additional taxes are levied and this munition tax is still retained upon special in dustrial establishments; and yet I recognize the situation in the other House, and I tliiftk tho chairman of the ways and means committee rep resented that situation in entire good faith when he informed the con ferees that it would be difficult, ow ing to tho impression which existed in tho House as to the character of the tax, I most reluctantly yielded. Yet it raises tho taxes on these mu nition-making concerns over 70 per cent, on their protits and income. "Then the inheritance tax is a most objectionable tax to me, yet, realizing that this bill is for the dura tion of the war and hoping that later on the sources of revenue can be found and it may be that thoinheri tance tax can be reduced or abolish ed, I yielded. "The postal rates have been re ferred to by the chairman of the finance committee, Mr. Simmons, who has fairly expressed my own view. All along I have thought that this perplexing and complicated sub ject could not be safely gone into a war revenue measure which had to be passed quickly. "As the chairman of the commit tee has stated, the postal rates as embodied in this revenue bill ca.i perchance be repealed or amended next December by the committee on postotfices and postroads of the House of Representatives, which has the general appropriation bill for the Post Office Department before It und can consider the question in a deliberate way with a view of solv ing it; and 1, for one, after twenty years experience in the agitation, hope that some way can be devised to end the controversy for the good of the government and for the good of the periodical publishers and the publishers of daily newspapers. "I say candidly that I should have preferred to have this part left out of the revenue bill as the Senate left it out, but! in view of the fact that the paragraph in reference to the matted does not go into effect until July, 1918, and that Congress which will meet in December next, the Senate conferees yielded on that point also. "There are some remarkable good i features In the measure. The retro active tax, which was contained In the bill as It came over from the ; House of Representatives had been taken out of the bill. That was one of those taxes which yielded consld ■| erable revenue, but which increased j tax payers and made them feel that ;| they were being unjustly treated. . | "Then the so-called double taxa -1 tion as to holding and subsidiary ■ companies has been provided for in I a way so that these additional taxes j are not twice imposed. • | "The proposition to impose a flat taxation of 10 to 15 per cent, on tlio t J surplus earnings of corporations | aroused the business world from the . | Atlantic to Pacific ocean, as striking ..at tlie very fundamentals of sound . industrial economics, yet after pro longed discussion in the finance com mittee and later on in the Senate and in conference a most satisfactory ad . Justmcnt of that proposition has been . made, by which the surplus invested , in the business retained for the , legitimate requirements of the busl ness are exempt from the fiat tax. j "The definition qf capital taxes the ij genius of the political economists to i the highest degree in a complicated industrial civilization like ours. It is . | almost impossible to arrive any i! equitable and solely scientific defini , tion of capital. I believe the defini- I tion of '-apital in this bill is in re i spects inequitable and is not 'Buffl- I ciently broad. I feel confident that ■ It is going to result in hardship and j Inequity, but 1 likewise feel that the definition makes considerable prog ! res* in covering certain features of the business and industrial work, and r j that while it falls short in many re ,: spects it likewise contains many ex- II cellcnt features." Newport Sends Money and Books For War Libraries | Newport. Pa., Oct. 3. —Under the | auspices of the Civic Club. Mrs. J. | Kmery Fleisher president, the sum i of {106.45 was raised for the War Fund' library.

WOMEN MAY ASPIRE TO 130 OCCUPATIONS Headquarters Will Be Opened Here For Registration of Those to Do Men's Work The committee of council of the National Defense League of which Mrs. John W. Reily is chairman, is making preparations to register the women of Dauphin county for war service. A meeting of the heads of I all the women's organizations of Harrisburg will be called within ten i days and a permanent committee to conduct the registration will bt> formed. The meeting will be held in the headquarters of the Red Cross and the registration office will also be located there, j The women will be enlisted for the | purpose of filling the vacancies caused by the enlistment and con | scription of many thousands of men. J Mrs. J. Willis Martin, of West Phlla j delphia, is head of the movement in j the state and for some time has been trying to locate a registration booth in this city. The registration will cover 130 separate occupations to which wom en may aspire. Some of the classes j of occupation are agricultural, cler ,l ical, domestic, industrial, profes l sional, public service, social service. Red Cross and allied relief, and mis cellaneous. Already there has been several registrations at the Walnut street headquarters. The booth has not been officially opened but those women who wish may register.
