members of Co. A-when they receive
the Thanksgiving box packed by the
capital city women and shipped to the
front the first of the week A special
feature of the box was the large angel
food cake baked by Mrs. Peter Reid, of
the pen1tentiary road. 1t measured
2Ox2O inches and weighed fifteen
pounds. 1t is estimated that the cake
is large enough to supply each member
of the company with a portion. The
box, which weighed 200 pounds when
finished. is filled with a long list of
Thanksgiving provisions. Cakes of all
descriptions: candles, jelly. nut bread,
raisin bread; pickles and other acces-
sories which go to make up an old
fashioned Thanksgiving dinner. The
response of the capital city women was
more than generous. Even after the
box was packed and sent to the freight
depot donations kept arriving.

tion, still occupies its position on the
calendar. and from all indications II

decided that after the pending river ana

ship purchase bill shall be taken up IN
that order, the understanding being
that appropriation bills and national
defense mea sures shall be given the

program in view, it will be weeks and
probably months before the Senate will
give time to the District prohibition

of how Intellectual prison sentences are.

Bunalo courts 100 times for drunken =
ness. Mr. Almy said he favored send
ing drunkards to an institution or farm

the nomination of Gen. Robert G..
Smith as excise commissioner of the
District Gen. Smith still continues to
hold office. The law states that COM
missioners shall continue to hold Of
flee until their successors are appoint
ed and qualified.
AS Gen. Smith was already member
of the board, and his nomination was
a reappointment. it is held that he may
continue in office until his successor
is appointed Under this construction
of the law. if the President desired to
keep Gen. Smith on the job and to ig-
more the action of the Senate in reject
ing his nomination, Gen. Smith might
continue in office indefinitely. However
the Senate holds the whip hand if any
such attempt to keep Gen. Smith in Of
flee were made. for it could and un-
doubtedly would refuse to appropriate
any money to pay Gen. Smiths salary
when the District appropriation bill
comes along for consideration. So that
after June 80 Gen. Smith would have
to 90 without pay But it is expected
that the President will appoint sue
cessor to Gen. Smith before that time
