Trade Commission to
Campaign Against
Food Spectators

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE federal
trade commission, at Herbert Hoover's
request, will soon smoke out dishonest
food spectators.
An investigation, led by Commission
er Victor Murdoch, will proceed under
Hoover's charges that some dishonest
wholesale and retail merchants and food
brokers have been criminally responsible
in no small measure for shortages in
many foodstuffs-especially perishables
and also for mounting prices"
That dealers gamble on a rising mar
ket and let goods stand on sidings fire.
quently if their gamble fails, is claimed
by the commission.
II propose to bring any violators to
the sternest payment of justice" de-
clared Mr.. Murdoch today "Pernicious
business practices which net the men
who follow them a little extra blood
money must be stamped out at the start
and kept stamped out.

If it is necessary, to put some of these

rightly belong"

aid in hunting down the profiteers.

PEOPLE OF FRANCE
ARE VERY SAD AND
SOLEMN, HE SAYS
Miner Gar Boy Now in
American Navy, Spending
Short Leave With Friends in
Atlanta

In France the eternal question until
recently has been. when are the Amer
lean soldiers coming over?" said George
in Atlanta spending a few days on a
furlough from the United States cruiser
Columbia, which is locked at an Amer
lean port after a voyage to France.
Littlejohn, who enlisted in the navy
thirteen months ago. said that at the
French port where his ship put in sew
eral weeks ago the people are very sad
and solemn.
Nearly everybody wears black" he
said, land everybody is sad There are
few men to be seen, and most of those
one does see are crippled. Women do
most of the work. even at the wharves;
and because there are so few men to
work in the fields food is very scarce.
When we were there the people contin-
ually asked us if the United States would
send much food over. but even more con-
tinually they asked us about the SOL
diers coming. One day some United
States cavalrymen disembarked at this
port, and their coming was greeted with
the greatest of enthusiasm. The people
all believe they need more men to fight
the Germans, and the arrival of every
American soldier makes the French
think the war is so much closer to be-
ing ended"
Littlejohn said his ship saw no sub
marines going over. but on coming back
they were followed for two days, he
said the U-boat taking shots at them
twice. but missing both times.
I'VE could not get a good range on
it, so we did not fire in return" he
added.
Littlejohn's furlough will be ended
on Saturday He is the son of p. j. Lit
tlejohn, of Miner. and during his stay
in Atlanta is the guest of W. Garland
Cooper at 143 Dill avenue.
Littlejohn is twenty years old and a
magnificent specimen of manhood, being
feet inches in height and Weighing
200 pounds.

Cannot Lawfully
Be Insured in Georgia,
Court of Appeals Holds

Fire insurance policies upon stocks
of liquor in Georgi aare null and VOID,
according to a decision of the court II
appeals Tuesday morning in the case
of Isadore Woods VS.. the First Ma
tional Fire Insurance company.
The plaintiff, who did business in Sa-
vannah, took out a policy in August
1915, covering stock of goods de-
scribed as merchandise which, under
the terms, were required to be kept In
a prescribed building. Part of the
stock consisted of wines and liquors.
That part if the stock, the court holds,
cannot be lawfully insured, because a
policy written upon it is directly con-
nected with an act prohibited by law.
The store was burned in November
1915. That part of the policy which
covered musical instruments in the
stick insured is held ii be lawful and
the plaintiff may recover ii that eX-
tent.
The judgment of the lower court was
