ARE LOUD MOUTH LEADERS,
BUT PATRIOTS ONLY In NAME
In Front Row Waving Flag, Put
Don't Make the Sacrifices They
Urge Upon Others.


ATLANTA, Ga.-One of the most
prominent women in Georgia, whose
husband occupies an important and
conspicuous position, made the re-
mark at meeting in Atlanta the
other day that she "hadn't observed
a wheatless day since the war began,
and didn't intend to, unless the wheat
supply ran out"
She has taken an official part in
the food conservation movement and
so has her husband. Both are sup
posed to be intelligent and patriotic
At least her husband never loses an
opportunity to proclaim his patriot
ism whenever and wherever he makes
a speech. The women asked her if
she thought all other women should
take the same attitude regarding the
governments efforts to conserve the
food supply. She made some nom
committal and embarrassed reply
which did not satisfy them.
In the civil war the women of the
Southern confederacy endured sac
rifices and bore up under hardships
with spirit which has glorifed them.
Their daughters and granddaughter
are now supporting the government
with a patriotism capable of the
same should they be called on.

FORSAKES BOOZE GAME
AFTER FORTY YEARS
MANUFACTURES PAYS HOMAGE
TO REFORMERS. ADMITS HE
SPENTA HUGE SUM.

Sigmund J. Lang, millionaire whis-
ky manufacturer in st. Louis, has
given up the liquor business after As
years and after spending more than
$35O,0OO in a futile effort to ward
off prohibition. Lang declares he is
disguised with the business and that
he will spend the remainder of his
life looking after his extensive oil
land holdings in the Oklahoma field.
Lang did business in ten states in
the West and South and received his
body blows when Arkansas wiped out
huge business over night and when
Iowa, another of his good states, took
the same course.
According to statement made by
Lang, he sold his distillery for 40
cents on the dollar, but received
market price for 1900 barrels of
whisky which netted him $4,000.
Pays Respects to Reformers.
During his As years in business,
Mr.. Lang asserts, he paid $1,000, 600
to the government in revenue taxes !;
100000 to the state of Missouri and
the city of st. Louis, and fully $780,
600 to politicians, grafters, takers,
various wonlen's societies, charitable
organizations, preachers and uplift-
ers. They were the first to call on
Lang, he asserts, when they were in
trouble and the first to turn against
him on the least pretext.
$50 when I saw the liquor bust
ness dragged into disrepute," says
Lang, 81 resolved to be a dupe no
longer. However, I am quitting with
a clear conscience as to my business
methods and the knowledge that I
never have stopped to employ the
tactics that some advocates of pro-
hibition and morality used to lay
hands on our money"

The FUELLESS DAYS
MAY Be CUT OUT
YESTERDAY PROBABLY SAW
THE LAST OF THEM. DECIS-
ION BE MADE TODAY.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The abo-
lition of voorhees, Monday after this
week is under consideration by the
fuel administration and Director of
Railways McAdoo, Mr.. McAdoo ad-
mitted this evening. No decision has
yet been reached, however, he said.
In formal statement Mr.. McAdoo
and DIR. Garfield said:
eve have had under consideration
the question of suspending, after
Monday next, the Monday closing or
der.
eve have not reached final con-
clusion about it. We shall have an
other conference on Tuesday the 9Th,
when the results of the Monday clos
ing and of the railroad embargoes
up to that time can be fully consid-
cred, and shall be able to make an
announcement during the week as to
whether or not a suspension of the
Monday closing order may be made. !"
Under the original order there
were eight heatless Mondays.
1t is known that DR.. Garfield had
been under strong pressure by mem
beers of congress whose business men
constituents have assured them that
but a small amount of fuel was be-
ing conserved by the heatless Mon
days. Senator Smith, of Michigan,
is on record as declaring that in
Grand Rapids only six tons of coal
was saved on a heatless Monday,
while $4,000 in wages was lost by
workers and $4,000 by the factory
owners.
