Reliable Cut Rate Slices 16 N. 4th Street 1 FRIDAY *" EVENING, Cormick said, and .actual account of it cannot be taken. He said the sugar situation will improve. The amount received by the wholesalers is quickly distributed among the re tailers. Mr. McCormick's survey shows 2,018,700 pounds of staple food stuffs in the hands of wholesalers. The amount held by retailers Is slightly more than the wholesalers' supply. Tn the case of meats tlio supply held by the retailers is lower than that held by wholesalers. The supply of potatoes could not be totaled, but it is said the supply is normal. "re potatoes are en route to local dealers. The amounts of the various staples follows: Flour, 190,000 pounds. Corn n.eal, 24,000 pounds. Oat meal and rolled oats, 42,000 pounds. Beans,. 132,000 pounds. Rice, 33.000 pounds. Canned Gpods, 551,000 pounds. Meat, more than pounds (supply for a month or more). Lard, 12,700 pounds. NO COAL TO STOCK UP WITH ON APRIL 1 [Continued from First Page.] coal on hand to supply every one as much as he cares to order, and that dealers will be ready to take orders for next winter's coal supply. While shipments of coal have improved slightly during the last two weeks and will continue to improve, the supply will not become such that the dealers will have an unlimited amount on hand to fill customers' or ders. As a means of taking care of the demand for coal after April 1, it is said that all orders taken prior to that date, which are not delivered by that time, will become void at that time. Dealers havo in some cases been requested not to take orders after April 1 to stock their custom ers for periods exceeding thirty days.

Beginning April 1, it is likely that before an order is delivered to a customer he will have to fill out a card enumerating such facts as the size of the house to be heated, and the amount of coal used annually. This system will likely supplant the coal card system now used by the dealers. Plans now being worked out by the coal dealers and the local fuel administration, call for a central coal bureau where these cards will be delivered by the dealers for com parison and indexing. Much of the coal sold during the coming year will be through this central office. The card index system, it is said, will index every house and the amount of coal used annually In each. Tn this way, hoarding will be averted and various members of one household will be unable to secure more than the proper share of coal for their house by ordering from several dealers. The federal supervision, of coal selling during the coming coal-sell ing months is to prevent a recur rence of the coal famine that threat ened national disaster to the nation last winter. Enormous Necessity For Shipping Is Not Realized, Declares Admiral Bowles Philadelphia, March 1. —"If cargo ships contracted for by the Govern ment are to be finished on schedule time, something must be done at once to insure the delivery of prior ity orders of materials for this pur pose." This statement was made to day by Rear Admiral Francis T. Bowles, who is in charge of the Emergency Fleet program at Hog Is land. Admiral Bowles said that a con ference had been called in Washing ton of representatives of the Fuel Administration, Shipping Board and the railroads to settle the matter of priority orders. "We cannot build too many ships and we cannot build them too fast," he declared. "Prior ity orders should immediately be made superior to any other industrial authority. My feeling is that the enormous necessity for shipping is not appreciated by the diverse au thorities controlling tjiese matters." "Men work better when they are not smoking," Admiral Bowles said in announcing that ho had issued an order prohibiting smoking in the Hog Island shipyard. MEYERS' CONDITION SERIOUS Boston, March I.—George von L. Meyer, formerly Secretary of the Navy, who has been seriously ill at his home here for three weeks, is suffering from a tumor of the liver and his condition to-day was regard ed as serious, it was announced by Dr. Henry Jackson, Mr. Meyer's phy sician. BIG WAR~STAMP CAMPAIGN HERE [Continued from First Page.] almost entirely in order to put Pennsylvania "over the top" In the stamp movement. The stamps are even more desira ble than Liberty Bonds, Mr. Ben dere said, and he said they had the advantage over Liberty Bonds as an investment in that they can be purchased any time a man, woman or child has a quarter for a stamp. They can be redeemed, too, any time the holder finds it necessary to get his money back and the Gov ernment will pay 3 per cent, for the temporary loan. It is Mr. Ben dere's opinion that the Thrift Stamps always will be a little better than the Liberty Bonds because the Government has taken pains to see that they are not all gobbled up by people with plenty of money, the rule having been made that nobody may own more than SI,OOO worth at any time. Wonderful Work in Pennsylvania Wonderful response is being made in Pennsylvania to the offer of these stamps by the Government, Mr. Bendere said. Ho expected every county to go "over the top" before the year is out. "When once a man, woman or child gets the Thrift Stamp habit there is no stopping them," he said. "They realize this is the best form of savings ever de vised and they go jn for it strong. The thing to do is to get the first stamp into the purchaser's hands. After that he does the rest." Mr. Bendere said that everywhere Americans are responding to the call for war service, but what we at home are doing is as nothing Compared to the sacrifices of the boys in France. He told this little story to illustrate the point: "I want to tell .you," he said, "how a close personal friend of mine, a lad I had known from his childhood, met the call. At the outset of the war he went to France and joined the flying squadron. With his French pilot he was an expert observer and just prior to one of the great drives General Pe tain sent the pair across the enemy lines for observation purposes. "My friend and his B"rench asso ciate had just about finished their work when half a dozen German Fokkers circled in the air. They were speedy craft and it was evident they would soon overtake the French machine. Realizing this, the Frenchman and my friend let out all the speed they had. Still the Germans were gaining. "Finally as the Fokkers crept up the French machine was lightened of its machine gun and its valuable I instruments, but still the. Fokkers came on. Happily the French ma chine was close to its own lines but still not safe. Suddenly the French bird shot forward with a tremen dous speed that the driver could not unaerstand. It outshot the pursuing enemy and reached its own line in safety. "But the French driver did not know until he landed and was told by the men with glasses from below that his companion, my friend, to make certain that the valuable in formation the French had gained should not lie lost, climbed over the edge of the machine and, suspending himself by his hands 0,000 feet in the air, let go, to lighten the ma chine, increase its speed and send it safely to its base." Mr. Bendere is a pleasing and forceful speaker and this recital had a marked effect on the committee. A. Boyd Hamilton, Charles E. Ean dis. Dean M. Hoffman and G. M. Steinmetz, publicity committee; Ar-, thur D. Bacon, chairman Rotary Club committee; Frank Robbins, general manager of the Bethlehem Steel Company at Steelton, chair man for that plant. Others present were Christian W. I,ynch, John Grey, E. V. Everett and John F. Dapp, all of whom have been prominently identified with the Thrift Stamp campaign here and who will have a part in the formation of Thousand Dollar Clubs, the organization of women's campaign committees and the prosecution of the campaign in many ways. Banks, stores, industries, churches, schools and even every home in the county will be asked to do their part. The committee is going to work harder than ever and is enthu siastic over the possibilities. Use McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adv. CENSORSHIP IS "LAMENTABLE" [Continued i'roiii First Page.] possible about the activities of the expeditionary forces. American officers in France can not understand the present censor ship methods, General March said, adding: Should Expect Casualties "I know of no gentle method of conducting a war of this magnitude and no army can expect not to have somebody hurt." "The American forces are remark able for their morale and health," he declared. "They are keen about the game. Those on the battleline now, and the reserves, too, are so' well trained in modern warfare that they can handle themselves with en tire credit to tjie United States. I inspected the troops In line just be fore I left France, and they are ex traordinarily cheerful and content ed, notwithstanding the mud and the German shells. "Their health is splendid. There is no sickness and there is better morale than there was at the Mex ican border where I was stationed before going abroad. The spirit of the Americans is splendid and every man is happy. A great many of the men take it as a lark, the majority never before having been outside the United States and some never even outside their own states. "It is a great advantage to the men that everything is new and In teresting to them, this serves to keep.up their spirits." General March was accompanied by Major Generals S. D. Sturgis and F, H. French. KILLED 1.1 ACCIDENT Byi Associated Fres* Baltimore, March 1.
