BIG Illicit STILL SEIZED I
BY OFFICERS NEAR COLUMBUS

/, COLUMBUS, Ga, Dec. 29.-In
small negro cabin located in the up
FER end Of Chattahoochee county was
found seven hundred pounds of white
sugar by revenue officers making
search in that section yesterday for il
licit distilleries, and the Sweets" to-
day are stored in the basement OF the
federal building in Columbus, where
they will be disnosed of by Uncle sam.
Near the cabin was located big
still--a double barrel affair-with a
capacity Of 14O gallons day. More
than 1000 gallons of sugar beer were
poured out and the entire outfit smash
ell by the officers. The still was in
operation when found, but the owners
had Just disappeared, and they could
not be located. The big still was only
about 300 yards from the cabin where
the sugar was seized as part of the
property Of the wrong doors.

ATHLETICS CONTINUE
NEXT YEAR As USUAL

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Out of the
haze Of uncertainty which surround
Cd American/sport, following the en-
try of the nation into the world war,
has come the fixed purpose to con-
tnue the pastimes and recreative com
petitions, so far as is compatible with
q successful conduct of the conflict,
during the ensuing year This is the
conclusion reached by a majority of
the leading amateur and professional
sport governing associations of the
country In this attitude they have
the endorsement and assistance of the
leading government and service Off
Gals, from President Wilson down to
these in charge of the various military
and naval cantonments.
It has been demonstrated in innum-
cradle ways that sport and athletic
oonr etition have permanent and
beneficial place in the life of America.
Tn. stimulus which comes with bodily
and mental upbuilding, Incidental to
recreatipe contests, is now being rec
ognized and appreciated as never be-
fore. The need of it is realized by
these who in the past were inclined
to view the period devoted to sport and
exercise as a waste of time. The sums
collected by sport governing organiza-
tons for war and charitable purposes
and the individual efforts and sacri-
ficss of those prominent, individually,
in various branches of sport have
raised the game to higher plane
taan at any time in the history of the
country.
These are but a few of the reasons
why the continuation of sport is urg-
el and planned by those who, in their
official connection with amateur and
professional games and recreative con-
tests are arranging for an active sea-
sen in 1918

The name of the fish, which looks
like Greek, but is Pacific coast In
dian, is pronounced "u-la-kon," not
@hooligan,' or "oolican," as it is some
times called in Alaska Those who
know the fish believe that it deserves
the best name that can be applied to
it, and that it is so much superior to
the smelt that the common designa-
ton Columbia River Smelt," in addi
ton to being misnomer, is almost
reflection on the food qualities of the
eulachon. The dean of American ich-
thyologists describes it as being the
finest food fish in the world-tender,
fragrant, digestible," and others who
have eaten it are equally Mandatory.

but its oil has peculiarly delicate,
agreeable flavor, and, when extracted,
is solid at ordinary temperatures. In
the abundance and consistence of its
fats its nutritive value is more like
that of the best grade of meats than is

GLOOMY PICTURE IS
PAINTED BY TIRP|Tz

AMSTERDAM, Dec. ga gloomy
picture of Germany's future was
painted by Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz
in his recent speech in Essen, ac-
cording to the Hamburg New. Re-
garding a successful economic war
against Germany after the war he
said:
Imagine the position if we stimuli
taneously have to bear the burden of
taxation which must fall on every. Ger
man and, despite the fallen value of
German money, we still have to buy
tie most necessary food and raw ma
terials. from abroad. Can anyone in
his heart of hearts really believe that
in these curcumstances, without an
increase of power, without indemnity
and without security we could avoid
Germany's ruin
Germanys plight at the hands of
England he bemoaned as follows:
Not only has England taken our
colonies and Mesopotamia but every
where she has made deeper and firmer
bases for her maritime and colonial
supremacy. She has furnished and
trodden down the prestige an dhonor
of Germany by unprecedented colum-

we are considered as conquered and

SAYS KNITTING WILL
DRIVE LADIES CRAZY

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Mark yon,
weary debutante, how listlessly she
drags herself after her sprightly
grandmother, See how feverishly she
knits, as against grandma's calm, eff
fcient stitch. Alas, poor girl, she is
a slave mot in the morphine, but the
knitting needle, a victim of knitting
nerves, the new disease, bad in
surance risk, bound for the padded
cell, where hollow-eyed wrecks rave
ceaselessly of dropped stitches.
That scarf you wear measures the
inches of sisters nerves destroyed
forever. That sock of melancholy
gray-it made mamma a maniac.
Auntie's half-fnished sweater? She
wears it now as straight jacket-the
knitting craze has crazed her.
This is the depressing picture pre-
scented by Louis r. Welzmiller, Di
rector of the West Side Y. NJ C. A,
according to a statement received
from that institution yesterday. One
cure alone is known, he said. Vic
tins must learn rhythmic, circular
knitting, the technique which rem
dered grandma proof against these
ills. Mr.. Welzmiller's treaties on the
new ailment follows:
we are likely to have an epidemic
OF knitting nerves unless knitters
watch their knit. The Christmas knit
has not been a good thing for many
women. They rushed work to finish
for Christmas and will emerge from
the season with serious cases of knit
ting nerves.
Grandma never tired of this work,
for she had learned how Her grand
daughters are making hard work of
purl and knit and cast. There is no
rhythmic action Usually she sits
rigid. She makes unnecessary work
for the muscles. She moves hands
and arms in terky way, generally
trying to do all the knitting with
wrists and finers. The range of mo-
tion is small but angular rather than
circular and such small set of small
muscles is employed that it is wearing
on muscles and nerves.
"a woman should learn to knit
properly. She should not sit bolt up
right and rigid; she should use mus
Giles otherwise unused as much as pos
sible; she should use large muscles.
and motions should be rhythmic and
coroular Women who knit are gen
orally occupied with other affairs and
knit between times, so that they keep
nerves tense most of the time; they
should supplement- their work with
exercises which would counteract the
tension"

JEWISH BATTALION IN
ENGLAND IS ORGANIZED

LONDON, Dec. 29.-The new jew
81 battalion of the British army is
now encamped for its final training
eriod on hillside in the west of Eng
and. Early in the New Year, it will
cave for the Palestine front.
The battalion is under the command
s. Colonel J. H. Patterson, an Irish
saan and great lion fighter in East
africa in the days before the war His
experience in command of Jewish
roops dates back to the days of the
Gallipoli campaign, where he was in
charge of the famous Zion Mule corps,
formed in Egypt of Jewish refugees
from Palestine. After tho close of
the Dardanelles campaign, the Zion
corps was disbanded, but some Of ts
members managed to make their way
70 England and form the nucleus of
the new Jewish battalion.
AS at present constituted, about fif-
~ per cent. Of the battalion are Brit
ish-born or naturalized. The re-
rlainder includes the members Of the
old Zion Mule corps, a large number
of Russian Jews, and curious mel
arge from several allied and neutral
Countries. The level of physical fit
ness, according to the medical officers,
i very high, particularly in such mat
tels as teeth and eye-sight.
The battalion is practically teetoerf
and wet canteen, which was opened
the camp few weeks ago was
closed in a fortnight for lack of bus
ness Colonel Patterson himself is
N ardent temperance advocate.
Crime In the army" he said the
,ther day, is due to drink and moth
ng else. This is shown by the fact
hat our guardroom has been empty
practically from the start, and you
would have to travel around many
raining camps to see the like. The
isused cells have been turned into
ed-rooms for the guards"
A great variety of trades and pro-
sssions are represented in the bat
Elioa. There are more tailors than
ny other one trade, and this fact is
effected in the excellent fit and smart
ut of the battalion's uniforms. There
re several artists and sculptors, the
stteT including leading British

M fsr the past three years A

Guns Russian who claims to be
acond cousin to Kerensky.
Re4amental orders for the new bat

Fagli h and Yiddish, and Yiddish is
used as much as English in instruc-
Ion. Some of the soldiers hardly know
e nglish words of command but
