ANTI-PROFITEERING
BILL FIXING HEAVY
PENALTIES PASSED
Geddes Declares High Cost
of Food Responsible for
British Unrest.
London Aug. 12.—The House of
Commons after hearing Sir Auckland
Geddes minister for national service and
reconstruction declare that profiteering
in foodstuffs was responsible for wide-
spread unrest and discontent passed to-
night on second reading the government
bill providing for prosecution and penal-
ties for persons guilty of profiteering.
The bill was supports! on second read-
ing by the Labor party and the vote
on pasage was 251 to 8.
Sir Auckland who is in charge of the
bill for the government said the measure
would have a bad effect upon profiteer-
ing.
He explained that the government had
rejected the idea of international control
of trade and also the idea suggested
in America of stamping goods with fac-
tory prices and establishing a system for
fixing prices. He admitted that the
government had no alternative but to
confess it was powerless under the exist-
ing laws.
The profiteering bill before the House
of Commons provides for the establish-
ment of a central authority to deal with
those speculating in the necessities of
life. Local ami country tribunals would
be associated with the central authori-
ty. T!ic*c tribunals would Im* minonered
to infiict penalties up to $lOOO or six
months imprisonment. The bill would
apply to England. Scotland and Wales
but not to Ireland.

POSTOFFICEIS
STILL WAITING
FOOD ORDERS
Charged With Distribution
to Public But Has No
Instructions.
SMALL SALES IN DOUBT
Quartermaster Will Deliver
Stores in Case Lots
for Cash.
With less than a week remaining
before the War Department expects to
begin the distribution of surplus govern-
ment foods to consumers the Postoffice
Department charged with full respon-
sibility for getting the supplies to con-
sumers by parcel post is still in the
dark as to how it is to be done.
While Col. M. L. Hilgard Southern
Department chief quartermaster and
zone supply officer has received de-
tailed instructions covering quantities to
be sold and conditions of sales by the
quartermaster department the only de-
tails the Postoffice Department has of
its work is that ull postmasters named
as parcel post distributing agents will
be permitted to purchase foods in quan-
tities of no less than a case if they pay
cash in advance.
In addition to sales to postmasters
who are also to be required to pay par-
cel post or freight charges ih advance
the quartermaster department may sell
in quantities not less than a crate or
the original package to cities coun-
ties states and public or charitable in-
stitutions cither on a ten-day credit
basis or on consignment and may sell
to Boy Scouts for cash.
Can Return Supplies.
Cities cufinties states or institutions
buying on consignment have the right
also of returning to the quartermas-
ter nil unsold supplies at the end ot
thirty days.
Concerning the return of property by
postmasters the following is stated in
the order from Washington:
“The postmasters will be notified that
as far as parcel post shipments arc con-
cerned exchange or replacement of a
damaged article will only be made upon
the receipt by you (quartermaster) of
a sworn affidavit as to the damaged
and unserviceable condition of the article
which affidavit will be signed approved
and forwarded to you by the postmas-’
ter.”
The point which the War Department
has failed to make plain is whether or
not consumers will be permitted to order
food in less than crate lots by parcel
post. Practically every unit in which
the supplies are now packed exceed the
parcel post maximum size and weight
and unless the proposed increase in the
parcel post limitation to 125 ounds is
adopted by Congress distribution of
crate lots through the mails will not be
possible.
Postoffices Await Word.
Organization of postoffice facilities
looking toward this work are being held
up until instructions arrive from Wash
ington.
The conditions of sales by the quai
termaster department are summed up
in the following announcement from
Washington:
Sales of surplus subsistence store*
may be made to states counties or mu-
nicipalities and to state county mu
nicipal or strictly eharitaible institu-
tions for their own use; to states coun
ties or municipalities for resale by them
to their citizens at not more than cost
said cost may include necessary freight
and handling charges.
States counties and municipalities
may designate civic bodies groups of
citizens or individuals to purchase ami
distribute surplus subsistence stores ai
cost provided the governor mayor or
other proper authority furnishes them
with proper credentials and guarantee*
both strict supervision and prompt re-
mittance under terms of sale.
Terms:
States counties or municipalities of
state county municipal or strictly char-
itable institutions will be allowed ten
days after receipt of goosls in which to
make remittance.
If municipalities or other local gov-
ernment. owing to their charter or laws
arc unable to buy and sell subsistence
stores will be sent them upon consign-
ment. goods to be paid for or returned
within thirty days from their receipt.
Shipments of this kind to be made only
when the mayor of the city or bead of
the local government either acts as the
government's agent and supervises the
distribution of the food or appoints some
one to so act. The municipality pays
freight from point of shipment and pays
freight on any goods returned.
Not Less Than Case.
Sales are authorized through the
Postoffice Department; postmaster to
make requisition for not less than case
lots accompanying said requisition with
remittance in full for goods including
parcel post charges. Stamps to be af-
fixed to rases and deliveries made to the
nearest postoffice or branch.
No sales of subsistence stores of any
nature will be made for export with-
out same being first referred to the War
Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp makes the hair brittle ami'
is very harmful. Muhdfied cocoanut
oil shampoo (which is pure and en-
tirely greaselcss). is much better than
anything else you can use for sham-
pooing. ns this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two tcaspoon-
fuD will make an abundance of rich
creamy lather and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust. dirt dandruff ami
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly and it leaves it fine and
silky bright fluffy and easy to man-
ag<.
You can get M unified cocoanut oil
shtrnpoo nt most any drug store. It
is very cheap mid a few ounces is
rn< ugh to last everyone in the family
for months.

master if mi order is placed by him. ami

The announcement says that vinegar I
is held for the most part iu bulk and
would have to be barreled before small I
shipments could be made. The War De- j
partment recommends that the vinegar
be sold to municipalities in tank car
lota if possible otherwise if it is neces-
sary to have it barreled the quarter-
master must add to the price the cost of
cooperage.
Against Some State l.aws.
The War Department's announce-
ment also calls attention to the fact
that the vinegar offered is “distilled
colored vinegar” and that the laws ot
some states prevent its sale. Cider
vinegar is quoted at 28 cents per gal-
lon f. o. b.
A revision of the price list published
Monday was announced in information
received from Washington Tuesday
morning by Colonel Hilgard. The fol-
lowing corrections were made on the
previous prices:

ADVERTISING MEN
FORM AN AD CLUB
FOR SAN ANTONIO
They Will Combat Untruth-
ful Advertising and Work
for Good of City.
An advertising club for San Antonio
was organized at a luncheon held Tues-
day noon in the ball room of the Gun-
ter hotel arrangements for which were
made by Robert P. Schermerhorn of
the Schermerhorn Advertising Agency.
Temporary officers who an* to serve
until a charter is obtained and a formal
election held were elected by acclama-
tion: President. Clarence Jones; first
vice-president. Ben Weber; second vice-
president L. E. Baldwin; secretary F.
A. Fitch: treasurer. Charles Lehman.
There was a largo and enthusiastic
attendance at the meeting and San
Antonio is now assured of a live wide-
awake and progressive advertising club
a thing long needed according to speak-
ers nt the luncheon.
The meeting was called to order bv
Mr. Shermerhorn who gave a brief out-
line of the purpose of the organization
calling upon John B. Carrington sec-
retary of the San Antonin Chamber of
Commerce for an expression of his
views on the subject.
Mr. Carrington said there was no
doubt of the benefits tn bo derived by
the city from the organization of such
a club. America as a whole he said
had ben wonderfully benefited by the
work nf advertising clubs nnd much un-
fair and unscrupulous advertising had
been eliminated thereby.
“Some promoters of oil interests in
Texas.” Mr. Carrington continued
“have sent out such fraudulent and un-
scrupulous advertising that the monied
Hdercsts nf the ea^f have come to look
with suspicion unnn us bore nnd nn
advertising club in n*p* city will help
greatly tn do away w : th such nractices

MAKES‘BUNCO’PROTEST
\\ onkin Complains Church Societies
Play Game for Prizes.
If the woman who telephoned the
heriff’s office and the county attorney
Tuesday morning follows up her com-
plaint. charges may be preferred
agcin*t church societies whose mem-
bers are said to play a game called
"Bunco". The woman phoned to
Sheriff Tobin's office early Tuesday
morning that certain cbur< h parties
were making a practice of playing
“Bunco” at their social gatherings and
wanted to know whether the game was
against the law. The sheriff’s office
referred her to the county attorney’s
office and she telephoned the county at-
torney. After listening to her story she
was told to call at the court house and
give information upon which to base her
complaints. Officials are waiting to
see if she will file charges.
The woman began her complaint to
the sheriff's office with the question:
"Arc you trying to suppress gambling?’’
She was told that the officers end pa v-
ored to curb that alleged evil. Then
sho recited the history of several parties
which she said were conducted by
church member? where the stakes were
chinaware and glassware which were
won by the lucky "Bunco” players.
‘‘lt s a violation of the law and is
being carried on by people who call
themselves church members.” she said.
