MUCH OF CHEER
ABOUT THE CAMPS
Dr. Bagnell Heartens Rela
tives of Men in Service With
Lots of Information
The mothers, wives, daughters and
sisters of men in the service who
gathered at the Civic Club yesterday
afternoon as guests of the Home
Service Department of the local Red
Cross Chapter, wore delighted with
the information, comfort and cheer
brought by the Rev. Dr. Robert Bag
nell. pastor of Grace Methodist
Church from the camps. Dr. Bag
nell spent five weeks lecturing and
visiting in the five large ciiinps of

conditions, so greatly exaggerated
by German propaganda at times.
In his talk "Lights and Shadows
"i, a ." lp , T ' lfe ' Dr - B anell said that
indmdual merit counts more than
money, family or position. That
much of the sentimentality about the
bojs is not needed for they are
lather to be envied than pitied, and
are eager for what is to come. He
compared camp life to a melting pot
with a great demonstration in
Democracy and wonderful experi
ment for America. He urged the
women-folk to tise their influence
and resources to the limit in backing
the men in the service and to pray
for them at all times.
Miss Cora Lee Snvder presided,
representing the committee, and the
audience heartily sang "America,"
'Star Spangled Banner." Miss
Elizabeth Ross accompanied by Miss
Martha Lawson, pleased by her sing
ing of "Keen the Home Fires Burn

EGGS GO OUT BY
THE MILLIONS
Tremendous Reductions in
the Stocks in Hand Shown
by Fonst's Latest Report
Over ton million dozen of eggs and
four million pounds of- butter were
disposed of through the cold storage
warehouses of Pennsylvania during
the past three months according to
the reports announced to-(Jay by the
Dairy and Food Bureau of the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture.
The reports of seventy cold stor
age warehouses made the first of the
year show that there arc but 4,242,-
523 dozen of eggs in storage com
pared with 1'4,367,202 dozen on Oc
tober 1. Foiir warehouses contain
no foodstuff® and only thirty-nine
are holding eggs in shell and 15
eggs out of shell as compared with
704,405 pounds on October 1. This
is an unusually large total for this
time of year.
There are 6,190,938 pounds of but
ter in storage as compared with 10,-
923,322 pounds three months ago.
The butter holdings are about nor
mal. From the storage reports there
seems to be a great shortage of poul
try as there are holdings of only
1,431,686 pounds as compared with
1,644,532 pounds three months ago
and 4,135,311 pounds a year ago.
The poultry holdings with one ex
ception are lower than they have"
been at any time in four years.
The wonderful catch of fresh
water llsh has brought about an in
crease in the fish in storage to 5,-
048,653 pounds three months ago.
The present ilgures establish a new
record of fish holdings and has re
sulted in the sale by county food ad
ministrators of carloads of fresh'fish
at public sale. This movement to
bring the fish to the people has had
the co-operation of Dairy and Food
Commissioner Foust and has been a
success wherever tried by the local
food administrators. There are 25.-
673 pounds of game as compared
with 46,384 pounds three months
ago.
There lias been little change In |
j the storage of whole carcasses of |
ir.eat except a reduction in the hold- |
ings of pork. Three months ago i
there were 171,268 pounds of whole j
rarcasses of pork and now there are |
only 6,823 pounds. A year ago i
there were T22.570 pounds. There I
are now 915,912 pounds of parts of
carcasses of pork as compared with
11,610,502 pounds three months ago.
There are now 211,936 pounds of
whole carcasses of beef as compared
with 612,607 pounds a year ago, but
in parts of carcasses there are 2,378,-
043 pounds compared with 1,748,988!
pound* a year ago and 1,596,152
pounds three months ago.
The holdings of both yeal and
mutton are below last year's total.

Wanted to Help Needy, but Got
More Abuse Than Thanks
Orange, N. J., Jan. 17. Judge)
Nott, of East Orange, volunteered i
as a coal wagon driver to get coal j
to the homos of the needy. A mo- j
torman of a street car threatened 1
to whip the judge when his horse;

tip and admonished him not to get
intoxicated with the money.
Another woman threatened to have
him dismissed unless he carried the
coal to the second floor. The mag
istrate obeyed and dumped it in the
middle of the parlor floor.

EARLY TO BED BUT
LATE TO RISE IS
NEW BOSTON RULE
Theaters and Cafes Obey
Order of Administrator
to Save More Fuel
Boston, Jan. 17.—Boston went to
bed earlier than usual last night,
slept later to*-day nnd showed general
and cheerful compliance with early
closing and late opening regulations,
made in the hope of conserving fuel.
Fuel Administrator Storrow's or
der for "10 o'clock closing was more
widely observed last night than on
Tuesday, as the public came to realize
that it was a command and not a
request. Without exception curtains
in the leading theaters were rung
down before 10.15 o'clock, while mo
tion picture houses were dark fifteen
minutes earlier.
The streets were more or less de
serted by 11 o'clock, the closing of
saloons at the same hour as picture
theaters having sent the crowds home
much earlier than heretofore.
In cafes, which remain open all
night, signs displayed at cigar coun
ters announced that only food could
be sold, and this applied in the early
hours yesterday. Men on their way
to work found cigar stores closed.
Newstands and drug stores were
open for the sale of drugs and news
papers, but cigars and clgarets could
not be obtained at any price. Barber
shops also were closed until 9
o'clock.
The most serious problem resulting
from the new regulations has fallen
upon the Boston elevated railway,
which operates the subway, elevated
and surface linos. The morning rush
almost paralyzed the traffic yester
day, and greater congestion than
usual has prevailed immediately aft
er the closing of stores and office
buildings in tho afternoon this week.
