 Travellers to Berlin, especially the American writing kind, live at the best hotels. They return with stories of plentiful and excellent food.
 Berlin is the wartime show place of Germany and the hotels where writers go are the wartime show places of Berlin. What the American writers have said of the plentifulness and the excellence of the food, is not neces- sarily true.
 Here in Rotterdam you get the truth, straight from the dining rooms and kitchens of civilians in every part of Germany. It indicates that life in Germany is uncomfortable, highly so, for a civilian who is keep house.
 Here's a Swedish mechanic from Germany, running around Rotterdam filling his arms with packages of bacon, bottles of olive oil and rice. Perhaps the Hollanders will refuse him permission to take these things across the border but, "Tm going to make try of il" he says.

SELDoVIA, June 19.-(By Mai) The bars on the new federal jail at Seldovia were no sooner in place, than an occupant for the jail was found. For some time the manufacture of sourdough has been a menace to the community, and efforts have been made to get sufficient evidence to con vict the maker. Marshall Cameron not only found his man intoxicated but before him, he had all the devices known to his crude profession as a brewer. Gregory Foxy his barrel filled with the mixture and a picture and strainer were all safely lodged in the jail, and since that time the one link to the chain gang has been kept busy getting the new quarters fixed up.

ALLIES BUYING
SHELLS To LAST
one MORE YEAR

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16.-Huge
contracts for munitions being placed
in this country by the allies plainly in
dicates a belief that war in Europe
will not be fought to a finish before
next summer at the earliest.
Within two weeks immense orders
have been definitely given for shells of
s to IL inch size. The total of such
completing war contracts taken last
year. The Baldwin Locomotive Works
was close to the end of the British
slell contract.
Run to Next July.
Whether the talk here and from
abroad was sincere or merely intended
tc create a buying situation, or wheth-
er the tremendous drive of the allies
cost as much ammunition as to change
the complexion of things, the fact
stands out that new orders have come
in tremendous volume. They began
to be placed when producing concerns
bad ability to take on more orders.
During the first ten days of the fresh
flow of war orders to this country all
stipulations were for deliveries run
ming forward to March 81, 1917, as the
time limit. This week the final date for
deliveries has been set forward to July
/ next, or three months later.
Negotiations are on now with the
Midvale steel and Ordnance Company
for another big shell contract. The
concern took one for $4,000 large shells
involving $S,OOOOO little more than

be done in the Midvale works at Nice

GEORGIA To LOSE HER
SHARE OF ROAD FUND

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 16.-Will the
state of Georgia get her share OF the
federal appropriation for public roads
with the highway commission which
has just been created by the legisla-
ture?
According to official advices from
Washington, the commission does not
meet the requirements of the federal
act and the state of Georgia, therefore,
will lose her share of the appropria-
ton.
The bill passed by the house creates
2 highway commission consisting of
the three members of the prison com
mission. The senate amended the bill
by adding the state geologist, the pro-
fessor of civil engineering at Georgia
Tech, and the professor of civil engi-
neering at the University of Georgia to
the commission. This amendment was
agreed to by the house.
The commission still lacks authority,
still lacks funds, still lacks a highway
engineer, still lacks clerical help and
the numerous and various other func-
tions and facilities necessary to organ
ize an efficient highway department.

WOMEN WIN FIGHT To
PRACTICE LAW HERE

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 16.-Hereafter
the woman who decides that she will
make her living by the practice of law
will not be denied admission to the bar
in the state OF Georgia.
AS the result of an agitation cover
ing period of several years, and the
introduction and advocacy of many
bills in the house and senate of the
Georgia legislature, a bill admitting
women to the practice of law in this
state has been passed at last, and will
new be transmitted to the governor,
who without a doubt will approve it.
In practically every other profession
and avocation in which a woman elects
to make her way in the world, the door
is now open to her, but the bar of the
law has alwaye been closed by reason
cf the fact that the statute defining the
terms and conditions under which a
license may be issued to practice law
contained no provision for the issu-
ance of licenses to females.
Several women have taken thorough
courses in law at the Atlanta Law
school, and prepared themselves to
practice the profession in this state,
and have passed the requi;ed examina
tions for admission to the bar. A few
years ago an Atlanta woman, having
graduated from the Atlanta Law school
and passed the examination, was de-
MED a license by the Superior court
of Fulton county, and appealed her
case to the state Supreme court, which
held that under the aforementioned
statute there was no provision for ad-
hitting woman to practice.
The passage of the bill by the house
and senate marks notable advance in
sentiment towards the rights of women
III general. AS a number of legisla-
tors advoca ting the bill have pointed
out, it could have been done a few
years back.
