Oohlen*.?Illicit trade In food, with Its attendant evils of smuggling and usury, Is on the increase throughout Germany, urcordlng to newspaper ae* count*. Tht? rationing system hus never been abandoned even In the occupied areas of U?c Ithhielaud. and sum? of the newspapers contend that the- aver age Individual cannot subsist on the itiii<>11 itt of food Issued. The author* Itleo arc making every effort to check the Illegal t raffle In food* of all kinds, and the courts arc crowded day after day. Smuggling of potatoes In being car ried on this winter In all parts of Ger many on a scale greater than In war time, Germany produced an excellent potato crop this year, and the author ities are trying to save It from .falling Into the hands of the speculators. Well-to-do people have been going to Bavaria from Prussia, Wuertteinberg and Thurln?la to buy potatoes, eggs and fats, for which the farmers chanted exorbitant prices. This worked a hardship on the poorer peo ple. who could not compete with them. Living appears to be Cheaper In Ba varia ?tl?an elsewhere In Germany. Butter has been selling there at 5 marks a pound, compared with 30 marks In Berlin. Eggs are quoted at 23 pfennigs each, white In Berlin they cost^l.TH marks apiece. Eggs In the occupied area have been bringing from 2 to 2vr?0 marks each this winter, but are very scarce at any price. Meat Is also reported as fairly plen tiful In Bavaria, although In all other states this form of food Is virtually unpurchasahle by householders through regular channels excepting oncfe or twice each month, when the author ities permit n few ounces to be dis tributedI by the ?artf system to the In dividuals. ? Most of the hotels throughout Ger many continue to serve meat three or four days each week, however. The proprietors say they obtain tills from Bfolland and that this does not violate eitoe"food regulations. MASTODONS BATHED THERE Popular California Beach Wat Onoe ? Used by 'Prehistoric Herd, Bays ~ Scientist. Alameda, Gal.?The Alameda beach, which attracts thousands of bathers .yearly, wan once the bathing place of a herd of prehistoric mastodons, some of them grOwljng*to a height of thir teen feet, according to Willis Drake Winetrout, former professor of the University of Wisconsin and a member of the United 6tatea .Board for Re search, who has just completed a study pi the ^iameda inland. Winetrout ma<le a special trip to California to investigate a report that an elephant's track measuring nearly ?'too feet across had been discovered In Solid rock burled two feet under mud and sand just ofT the Alameda beach. The discovery of the track was made last July-by a party of bather* ata time when the+tlde was but. Among the bathers was Allan Lewis of New Jerseyva former student of Winetrout, who made known the discovery to Winetrout ^ind-sent a map showingthe exact location of the elephant's foot* print, which is about 100 yards from the foot of Bay street. . . H WORM DESTROYS PULP WOOD Kilts It Off Faster Than It Grows, Says Report of Canadian Com mission. ? Ottawa.?The pulp wood supply In Canada Is large, but much of It Is in accessible for commercial purposes, according to a report of the commis sion on conservation, made public to day. 'An enormous annual destruction by the bud worm is reported. Clyde Leavltt, the- commission's chief forester, gives the following es timate on provincial supplies of wood pulp: Quebec, 300,000,000 cords; British Columbia, 255,000,000; Ontario, 200, 000,000; New Brunswick, 33,000,000.:, Nova Scotia, 30,000,000. There is lit tle information available concerning the supply In prairie provinces. Losses from bud worm ore so enor mous that they far overbalance the annual growth In Canada and the United States, tliu lepuit states. Wild Ducks Not Scared by Those Men Who Fly Washington.?Airplanes do not bother wild ducks*, the army air service announces, and sports men who believe they do are unduly alarmed. ?T/letifCot. "II. M. Hickman, when In command of Dorr and Chisholm fields, flew twice * day for "severfcT months OVer a swamp that was the feeding place of %lld ducks. To flush the fowl he had to pilot his ?plane within 150 or 100 "feet of the surface. But when he would take off the dncks would Immwratety return to the swamp. a A CHALMERS with an Elegant 7\[ew Body IT is new, will no doubt be widely copied ii> an . other year, and expresses elegance. It is "cut" high in the front at the radiator line> and low from the windshield back. % You sit close to the ground; the side line is considerably lower than in any previous Chalmers. Seats are lower, tilt more; you cling to the seat cushion, and you have abundance of foot room, front jtnd rear. In detail this new body possesses a completeness, a finality that seems impossible to improve upon. Underneath the body is the same, unchanged Chalmers chassis that is well nigh fault' less. Hot Spot and RamVhorn * continue in their original and t masterly way to get out all tne power that nature put into gas, though the complaints against the grade of gas today increase daily. There's a limit to the sup> ply of the new Chalmers, but there seems to be nolimit to the number of those who insist on one. As a word of warning?see thip new Chalmers immedi* ately. GEO. T. LITTLE, Camden, S C. Weak Links in a Strong Chain That's ju*t what imitation parts are when they become a part of your Ford car. They look strorigr enough, but the metal is not there? the itgong, durable Vanadium steel that goes into the Ford chassis and every Ford part. Ford parts are specially cast and heat-treated, each ac cording to i s use. Some require a hard, flint-like wearing surface, oth ers need res'lency, and some need just "toughness." Ford met illurgists have been studying these problems for 16 years and know jjst how each unit should be made to endure a maximum of wear and teaar. They know that best results can be obtained only by the use of special formulas for dirtQrent parts, and that honest?Ford parts wear from thirty-five to one hundred per cent longer than counter feits. We carry complete assortments of genuine Ford parts for both passen ger cars an! trucks. And our garage is equipped to give careful and prompt Fori service?from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Drive in, it's better to be safe than sorry.
