PEPPERS WARMER
Than Home ONES

Hot stuff for Hawaii is the plan OF
A. T. Longley of the Territorial Mar
keting Division, who is screwing UP
enough courage this week to taste
some sample red peppers from Japan
to learn whether they are consider
ably hotter than the Hawaiian pro-
duct. . ~1 .@.~ 49,.
Reluctant to place one of the harm
less looking seeds from the pretty
carmine husks upon his tongue, he
tried to induce a Star-Bulletin report.
er to take a chance, but the latter de-
clined with thanks on the excuse that
it was plenty hot enough for him out
side. .....-.-t .-
Longley says that the Japanese ex-
ported 45 tons of peppers last year at
an average rate Of q cents a pound,
SO he has been told. in comparison
with no expectation by Hawaii and
with peppers grown here selling for
about 3 cents a pound.
There would be a good field for
the pepper industry here, as well as
for many other products" he says,
and if the Japanese peppers grew as
prolifically as the Hawaiian peppers
the supply here would be unlimited
They are much hotter than the local
product and am obtaining some seed
to use for experiments.

Embargo on Munitions
Is Attacked in Court

Trenton, N. j., August S.-Jersey City s
embargo on shipment and storage of high
explosives was attacked in the federal
court today by the agency of the Canadian
Car and Foundry company, Ltd, in a
suit to restrain the Jersey City commits
sion from interfering with the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad COM
pany accepting munitions at it's piers.
Federal Judge Rellstab will hear argu-
ment on the application for a preliminary
injunction at Belmar next Thursday.
Action of Jersey City authorities in
compelling the railroad to unload car
of explosives shipped by the Canadian
company from Kingsland N. j., is the
basis for the courts action today.
Under contract with the Russian gov
eminent the munition factory is obliged
to deliver daily 10000 partly loaded
and high explosive shells at
Gravesend bay during August. The con-
tract is for $1S,OOO,OO0 and provides a pen
atty of / per cent for every weeks delay
in delivery. Over 100000 OF the con-
tract has been completed and the COM
pany has been held up in shipments by
the Jersey City officials as the outcome
of the recent explosion at Black Tom
Island.

Report on Cause of
High Gasoline Ready

Washington, August S.-The federal
trade commission has completed it's final
report on the causes for the rise in
gasoline prices and probably will send
it to Congress next week. 1t is under
stood it will be more specific than the
preliminary report sent to Congress sew
eral months ago, in which the commits
sion set forth facts discovered but made
no deductions or recommendations for
legislation.
The final report, it was said, will go
into detail as to an apparent lack If
sufficient competition between companies
producing gasoline. No recommendations
for prosecution of any concerns are ex-
pected and none have been made to the
department of justice. 1t is understood,
however, that Congress will be told that
the remedy for present conditions lies
in some sort of regulation of gasoline
manufacturers to insure real competition,
or as last resort in creation of gov
eminent machinery authorized to fix
prices. Legislation by Congress would
be necessary to effect either proposal

Places Where Germs Thrive
by MRS. }. b. REID.

Birmingham needs good housekeeping
today, and it must not have spasmodic
effort, but consistent individual interest,
with the investment of energy and active
supervision.
1t is up to the men and the women
now that it has become a matter of
health We were not thoroughly aroused
over the city beautiful We misconstrued
the real purpose of the movement; we
looked at it as merely the making of "a
blooming show when really the intent
was to make the whole premises better.
This movement by committees of house
keepers is splendid, because it will be
an awakening to the citizens as to real
conditions
Many, many houses are vacant, in both
city and suburbs. These places are rem
devious for all kinds of tramps and loafers
and often Fairgrounds for neighborhood
boys. The sanitary conditions of vacant
homes are fearful-no water connected,
but the entire houses are. subject to all
kinds of abuse and uses. Weeds are taxi
ing possession of premises, mosquitoes
flies and filth are breeding in their de-
cayed leaves, and the poison is spread
ing. The average home-maker in Birming
ham does not require to be reminded of
of a home, but our alleys, our slums, are
fearfully neglected. One of the greatest
evils of this city is the "alley quarters
the homes of our cooks and washerwom-
en-. They are huddled together, and are
seldom kept at all. There averages one
worker to each household, numberless
loafers and dense neglect to surround
ings. The germs are disseminated over
the entire city through this source, and
we wonder where we catch the germs.
There are many idle, both black and
white, and they are too soul worn to care
where they exist and what the conse-
quences to the balance of the citizens. If
the women of the city intend to include
these districts in their visitation, Bir-
mingham will surely begin new life.
The housekeepers will always remember
the homes of filth that shelter the num-
bers of their own cooks, and a resolution
to visit the home before one of them is
taken into service will follow. We are
taking too much for granted when Jane
tells us she lives ION Alley ], right back

HAMMERING Won BOTHMER

Petrograd, August S.-(Via London)
General Letchitzky, who a week ago, in
spite of flooded rivers and heavy roads,
began anew his hammering of the right
flank of Gen. Count Won Bothmers army
and by a cavalry attack took Ezerzany,
has scored new victory by the capture
of Tlumach, 10 miles further to the north
west There has been little news from
that section, but it is apparent that Cen

Bothmer's right wing.
The talking of Tlumach cuts the railway
between Stanislau, Tysmienitsa and Buc-
ackz which has been utilized by the
Austrians for supplying the southern end
Of Won Bothmers 'front.' and gives the
Russians another direct avenue of at
tack on Stanislau.
The Austrians tried to offset the force
of Letchitzky's assault by fierce counter
attacks along the Koropice river north
ward, but without avail. They were re-
pulsed with severe losses. At the same
time Russian offensive is being pushed
against Won Bothmer's left flank, south

about Zalocze, on the headwaters of

and if it happens that she does. it per-
haps is hive of dirt and disease. If
we are going after these sections, and
see conditions as only women can see
them then we will remove much of the
cause of our dreaded epdemics. This is
not a fancy-work job, this looking into
the real places that need our services; it
will do no good comparatively to see
that our streets are well cleaned. our
houses with sanitary connections. when
we simply take for granted that the ne

they are the hotbeds of germ life, and
sources of spreading them into thou
sands of homes in the city.
We seldom think it serious if our cook
grunts and complains. We hate to cook
and pass by her ailments as trivial or
treat it with silence, when maybe the
woman who is mixing our breads is one
of the sources of the diseases we dread
most. We are not Indifferent to our well

Miss Cassette was accompanied to head
quarters by the mother of the communal,
Mrs. John F. Bass and Norman Scott,

General Joffre was presented with a
pipe in a case lined with flags of the

He remarked that he appreciated the
souvenir, but that he did not smoke
