for which a young man was arrested
and fined ut Springville, Ala. The
fish lake at Springville is 3 show
place. It il about 100 feet square,
two feet deep and has a cement in

tame and gather IN ravenous, squirm-
ing masses whenever anyone feeds
them. The young man who was
partly intoxicated was spending the
day at Springville. Seeing the fab
leaping and squirming to be fed, he
offered the contents Of his bottle.
The fish readily accepted and drank
nearly . quart. A resident reported
to the mayor the condition of the
fish, and after an investigation the
visitor was arraigned and fined SIS.
He declared the sight Of the Ash
while under the influence Of liquor
was worth the cost.

CAPITAL ONCE UNDER WATER
large Part Of Eastern unissd ssases
Was Occupied BY Arm Of Sea MIl-
lions Of Years Acc.

Millions of years ago, in what
biologists call the Devonian period,
. large part Of the eastern United
States was occupied by an arm Of the
aea which extended northeastward
from the Gulf of Mexico region, enl-
bracing Maryland, Virginia and
what is now the District OF Column
bia, into New York state.
The eastern shore Of the sea was
not far east Of the present line of the
Blue Ridge and the highlands OF
New Jersey and southeastern New
York, and still farther east lay Q
great continent which extended an
unknown distance into the area now
occupied by the north Atlantic.
The northern shore Of the sea was
somewhere near a line drawn from
Albany through Syracuse, Rochester
and Buffalo and south to the west Of
Washington. The present site of the
Catskills was thus near the north
east end or head of this sen or gulf,
with land not far away on the east
and north.
As the streams washed in sand and
mud from the neighbOring lands the
sea gradually filed up and the shells
Of many brachipods and other shell
bearing animals were thus buried in
the sand, and their forms preserved
till now. BY slow, upward move
ment of the earth's crust, the sea was
drained from the region and the
beds of sand and mud that had been
hardened into sandstone and shale
were lifted thousands of feet above
eea level to form q great new land.
The Catslxin mountains have since
been carved from this uplifted masi
of rock through the cutting Of val
leys by the streams.

SHORT LOAVES CAUSE AR
RESTS AT IDAHO FALLS

Finding that argument is not
bringing forth a full weight, 18-
ounce loaf of bread. Pure Food
Commissioner J. X. White has at
least resorted to prosecution OF bak-
ers. Nine Of them have been arrest
ed in the city of Idaho Falls charged
with selling short weight bread that
is not labeled. All of them plead
guilty. Other arrests are to follow,
not only at Idaho Falls but In other
cities and towns.
Under the Idaho law q standard
loaf of bread is 16 ounces. II bread
is sold in loaves less than Is
ounces. the exact weight must be
placed on the bread so that the con-
sumner may know how much he is
getting for his money. The pure
food commission has no Jurisdiction
in the matter OF price that shall be
charged for loaf of bread. There
is no law on the Idaho statute gov
erning price. 1t Ia regulated by the
market and competition. In the ABB
sence OF a label, Il 10 presumed that
the loaf weighs Is ounces. II 1t does
not the baker Is violating the law
and is subject to prosecution under
it.
Has Been Reasonable
This department has been reason
able in the matter of short weight
bread" said Commissioner White.
I'VE have tried TO get the bakers to
sell a uniform loaf, SO an to eliminate
the matter Of one baker selling 3
short weight bread loaf. or q loaf
that weighs Il ounces. while 3 COM
petitor sells loaf that is q full 16
ounces. at the same price. The peo-
pie are entitled TO pnow II they are
getting an unlabeled loaf Of bread
short of the state standard. This
department does not resort 20 prose
cutions until it is absolutely neces-
sary. We find Il Is necessary now
and bakers who are not labelling
their bread where the loaves fall be.

BLUE AND GRAY TOBE POPULAR NAME OF
 29TH ARMY DIVISION

Anniston, September 26.-(Special) )-The piue and gray division will be the pop- uiar designation of the Twenty-nin1h army division now stationed at Camp mcclellan. This designation Is peculiarly fitting, in view of the fact sons of both Federal and Confederate officers mingle Tn perfect harmony in the camp; that men from the national capital and the former capital of the Confederacy are In the division, and that the camp which is located on southern soil, is named after general who was promi- nent in the northern army during the Civil war
 The suggestion of Blue and Gray as he aesignation of the division is being hailed With delight by the officers, as they see III the designation factor that will have a strong tendency to remove all traces Of sectionalism.
 The long promised reorganization or ders, so eagerly looked for by num- Der of officers have not yet been pub lished, but there is reason to believe that final action will be taken shortly after the troops now arriving are settled in the camp
 Ine First Virginia infantry arrived today, in three sections. The first train arrived about S.30 this morning, the second train two hours later and the third train aabout noon
 Included in these Virginia troops are two famous military organizations the Virginia Grays and the Lynchburg M Musketiers. The regiment. taken as a whole, is as fine a looking organiza- ton as any at Camp Mcclellan.
 The Richmond Grays, which rival the famous Richmond Blues in popu- larity through the Old Dominion, are composed of four campanies-A, B, c and F-under command of J. Fulmer Bright. The other officers of the or ganization are First Lieut.. Harry A. Howell of Company A; Capt. William A. Stack and First Lieut.. L. T. Math- ews of Company B; Capt. James R. sheppard, Jr, and First Lieut.. Will liam A. Loving of Company c, and Capt. A. B. Cousins and First Lieut.. Charles A. Rady of Company F. These officers are in command of about 290 men.

While few questions remain open for final settle ment tomorrow the measure is said to be practically drafted. It probably will be reported Friday Saturday.
 Senator Simmons announced tonight that tomorrow a statement would be is- sued joined in by Representative Kitch- in, as chairman of the House conferees outlining the work of the conference
 The basis of agreement on war excess profits taxation is said to be a com promise between the House excess and the Senate war profits systems, with q on corporate invested capital.

 Belgium must undertake to maintain administrative separation of the Elan ders and Walloon districts introduced
 by Germany, the verbal note says, be
 cause this separation corresponds to the wishes of a majority of the Bell gian people and because Germany de- sires such separation on account of racial sympathy.
 A semi -offical communication in the German press in explanation of the new German proposal says the govern ment Intentionally avoided stating more clearly the conditions thus out lined. The conditions are said to be compatible with the dignity of Bell gium.
 Germany avoided mentioning the question of the throne, because this was Belgium domestic matter. Ger many, the communication says, will agree to any government in Belgium which accepts the conditions set forth. The principal question is how the guar : antees enumerated can be formulated.
