night at the Treasury Department. said

tBy Annotated Pr.t..


BIRMINGHAM. ALA. June s.
Ma jor- General Wood. commander Of
the Southeastern Department. was
BirminEham's guest OF honor to-day
In ceremonies intended TO make regis-
tration day in this city an occasion
long TO be remembered
After luncheon to-day at the Roe
buck Golf Club General Wood headed
mammoth parade planned as pa
triotic demonstration in honor Of the
young men who had registered as
Blrmingham's quota OF the war army
Following the parade. he delivered
an address at a flag raising in Capitol

city. The parade Was said to be the
most elaborate and lengthy ever seen
here.
Immediately behind the generals

other distinguished guests and the re-
ception committee. Then followed
hundreds OF women marching each
carryin an American nag. after whom
came the thousands of young men who

arm: service.
y feature OF the parade WAS the APP
pearance OF more than 1000 or more

Transforming Seized Liquor

THAT the thousands Of gallons OF whisky
! which are being seized in Virginia under
the operation of the prohibition law, should
not be destroyed is manifest. In the manu-
fac,ure OF explosives, in many OF tho arts
and sciences, in the generation OF heat and
power, alcohol is OF the largest utility. The
alcohol in the captured liquor should be eX-
ttacted before the residue is consigned to
the gutter. Prohibition Commissioner Peters
has given his approval, al least in principle,
and the suggestion OF Assistant Attorney
Genera! Garrett that courts suspend orders
for liquors destruction until the Legislature
can change the law, would seem TO supply
feasible way OF meeting the need.

Dcepwater Oyster Planting

THE oyster industry in Virginia waters is
susceptible Of large development AS is
conclusively shown BY the last annual re-
port OF the Commission OF Fisheries Espe-
cially is this true Of decpwater oyster plant
ing, the conditions in many parts OF Chcsa-
peake Bay being excellent for culture on an
extensive scale. Such experiments as have
been made within the past two years have
proven highly profitable. giving every assur-
ance of big things in the future with in
terest properly directed to that phase of the
industry.
Under existing law the Commission of
Fisheries is authorized TO lease planting
grounds in the Chesapeake Bay in water of
fifteen feet or more in depth. at an annual
rental OF not less than % cents Der acre
and since the investment of nonresident
capital in the oyster-pla nting industry is now
permitted considerable amount of such
ca pital is being attracted.
