URGE PRODUCTS
DAY AS ANNUAL
CELEBRATION
ColoneI Robert f. Maddox Is in
Favor of Yearly Holiday to
Boost Empire State,

And now the idea is that the ieor-
eia Products dinner may go further
and cover a wider feld-in fact, may
become a state holiday-"Georgla
Products Day'-to be observed an
nually with dinners, parades and all
sorts Of entertainments.
Al lea 81 two men prominently iden-
tihed with the Georgia Products dia-
ner arrangements have this idea OF
the future OF the movement Roberr
f. Maddox and Wilmer L. Moore are
certain that the idea is worthy Of the
greatest possible development,
Think what an impressive holiday
event a Georgia Products Day would
be- Mr., Maddox said Thursday after
speaking Of the success OF the din
ner
Day of Fesstins and Boosting.
1t would be a day set apart out OF
all the year on which Georgia people
would wear with pride Georgia made
clothing, sit down at tables spread
with Georgia produced food. attend
dinners and entertainments given uy

to the doctrine that the Empire Stat
OF the South could. IL it became nee

THAT part of it, Of course is pare

as that But 1t is a great thing q

OF this state, and TO use them TO the
advantage of the State and OF this

DISTRESS ALONG THE OHIO.
Many People Destitute as Result Of
Recent Floods.

Considerable restitution and distress
along the lower Ohio, as a result of the
floods. are reported to the War Depart
ment by Capt. William Elliott, the quar-
termaster who was dispatched to that
section to initiate the relief work.
The situation at Ashbyburg, KY. is re-
ported very bad. Four hundred people
are destitute. and are located in vacant
buildings and in camps on the high
ground.
The entire country is under from six to
ten feet of water for fifteen miles around
Ashbyburg. The people for the most part
have lost their household goods. their
winter provisions and forage for their
stock. Capt. Elliott has purchased ten
days supply of provisions to relieve the
distress, and is about to buy forage for
$50 head of stock. He has advised the
adjutant general of Kentucky to leave
all the tentage in the hands Of the peo-
pie, looking to the government for reim-
bursement. as 1t would be unsafe to re-
turn them to the state arsenal without
fumigation.

REVISION OF THE LAW
FOR GAS. PRODUCTION
Probable r Recommendation of
Commissioners, Following In.
vestigation of Manufacture.

Revision of the law governing the man.
ufacture of gas in the District of Column
bia may be recommended to Congress at
the next session by the District Com
missioners The local government heads
have instructed Capt. Julian Schley. as
sistant of the Engineer Commissioner, to
prepare a draft of some of the changes
which they believe should be made in the
law. The most important of the proposed
new requirements is that will estab-
lish a heat unit test. thereby resulting in
gas of increased heating capacity, but
reduced candlepower being furnished To-
cal consumers :.t
Making Exhaustive Study.
Capt. Schley is making an exhaustive
study of the whole subject. and will
shortly make a. report to the Commits
sioners. The present law contains no pro-
vision for a heat unit test, although it
provides for candepower and purity
tests. 1t is stated that so per cent of
gas consumers now employ the product
for heating purposes, and that it is i'm
portant that the law be amended so as
to provide that gas shall have a specified
heating volume per cubic foot.
Requiring d specified heating volume
probably will necesstate slight lower
ing of the present minimum candlepower
requirements in order that the price of
gas may not be increased. This feature
of the situation is being considered by
Capt. Schley. 1t is said that the addi-
tional restrictions to be recommended will
not affect the cost of the manufacture OF
gas
Unit Tests in Other Cities.
Many cities of the United States now
require heat unit tests. In addition to
providing for this feature in the bill re-
visng the gas law, Capt. Schley will in
sert a provision requiring that gas be
furnished at a specified maximum and
minimum pressure. Various other fea-
lures connected with the manufacture of
gas in the District will be considered, and
effort will be made by the Commission
ers. it is sajd. to make the law governing
this subject up to date and adequate In
every respect.

BILL FOR A WAREHOUSE
SREPORTED FAV0RABLy
House District Committee In
dorses Representative
RedfieId'S Measure.

Because the appropria tons committee
refused to accept the recommendation OF
the Redfield investigating committee and
provide q warehouse in the District of
Columbia for the receipt, care and dis
tribution of supplies for the use of the
municipal government, the District COM
mittee took the bull by the horns today,
and reported favorably on the bill intro
duced into the House by Representative
Redfield to cover the entire needs of the
District in that line.
One of the urgent recommendations
made by Represent ative Redfield, after he
had concluded searching inquiry into
the business methods and administrative
needs of the District. was a warehouse.
He said he found that hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of supplies are
being taken care of in an Out-of-date and
thoroughly inadequate fashion. The bill
was introduced yesterday.
This recommendation fell on unfertile
soil when it reached the appropriations
committee, for no mention of it is to be
found in the District appropriation bill.
Representative Johnson of Kentucky,
chairman of the House District commit
tee, called attention to the omission yes
terday while talking about the District
bill on the floor of the House, and said
that Mr.. Redfield had prepared the bill
for warehouse.
Provisions of the Bill.
1t provides that the Commissioners shall
erect thirty NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ware
house on any ground now owned by the
District, and that force of employees be
provided, as follows: An issuing clerk.
$1,jOO; invoice and file clerk, $1,000; one
chauffeur, to operate a motor truck, $720,
and three laborers. at 5000.
The bill provides that $4,000 for the
purchase of supplies and materials be APP
proprated, to be used as a purchasing
fund, to be continuously available.
