LIGHTLESS NIGHTS
 ARE DISCONTINUED
Fuel Administrator Raises Ban on
 Store and Display Illuminations

Lightless nights have been diseon- tinued and henceforth Birmingham may be illuminated as in the days before the war. An order to this effect was re- ceived yesterday by the Jefferson county fuel administration from State Fuel Ad- ministrator S. P. Kennedy of Anniston.
 In his letter to the county administra- tion MT Kennedy says that the state administrator was gwen full discretion in the matter and that in his opinion the great amount of lighting furnished ty hydro-electric power and the further improved conditions in the state relative to steam coal, it is advisable to cancel the lightless night order from and after November il, 1918, and until further no- tice.
 Since the lightless nights order went into effect last spring practically all dis play illuminations, store lighting and lights elsewhere that could be dispensed with without seriously affecting business have been discontinued. With the receipt of MT. Kennedy's order these may be turned on again.

THE WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

The people of the United States are asked to raise, for war work among the soldiers, $l7O,50O, 100000. Nevada county's part of this is $l2,O0000 This will be apportioned among the school districts.
 It looks as if peace was near; but If peace is made large indemnities will be laid upon Germany, and our army and that of the allies will likely have to remain in Germany and Rus sla from two to four years in order to collect the indemnities.
 l was in Little Rock last week at a conference of the managers of this campaign. and men from the front assured us that after the fighting is ever the boys will suffer more from home sickness and lack of some thing to do, than they do during the lighting. This money will provide religious instruction and entertain ment for the boys while they are in foreign countries, and no one should fail to give upon the ground that the money will not be needed on account of the coming of peace The whole amount will be expended by next June. Nothing is too good for the boys who have won this war.

Worlds Greatest Gun Genius.

At last the American gun man has
appeared. His name has been in the
headlines Of the papers Of late in con-
nection with the Browning machine
gun, but nobody has before risen to
answer the question: "Who is Brown
ing?"
Briefly, John Browning is the great
est gun genius the world has pro-
duced.
"A modest, retiring and charming
man Of 60 odd, he has preferred to sit
in the background, draw royalties and
let someone else get the credit for his
achievements.
Born and bred in Ogden, Utah, he
still makes his home there and car
ries on his experiments. His father
was gunsmith in Ogden in the early
days.
John Browning is the inventor Of
every rifle that the Winchester Arms
company has produced, from the single

the work from all the branches is in
spected here and any alterations
necessary are attended to. There is
a fine spirit among all the branches.
All are trying to do the work just
right but there are great many reg
ulations as to the measurements Of
hens and the placing Of pockets, en-
blems, seams, etc., in order that the
garments be kept uniform, and it takes
some time for all these rules to be
followed to the exactitude required if
we are to keep our standard as high as
we Of Mile Laos county wish it to be.
Our work is rated as "A1" at the
northern headquarters and all are
surely anxious to keep it there.
Word has lately been sent out to all
county chapter headquarters that so
far as the work is concerned each must
be the ultimate court of decision
and nothing must be allowed to filter
through to headquarters that is not
made right in every way and ready to
be reshipped direct to the hospitals.
So from now on the inspection here
will be-if possibl e-more rigid than
heretofore.
The total number of garments sent
in from the whole chapter for the
eight months is 1875.

shot rifles, the famous models of 1886,
1890, 1892, 1894, 1895, 1897.
He is the inventor of the Remington
shot gun, the Remington automatic
rifle and the inventor of the Stevens
repeating shot gun. Every gun manu-
featured by the Fabrique Rationale of
Liege, Belgium, before the war, was on
patents taken out by Browning and
from which he receives royalties.
Every automatic pistol manufac-
tured by the Colts Rapid Fire Arms
company was invented by Browning.
He invented the famous Colt machine
gun. All the Colt automatic pistols
from the % caliber to the Is, now the
standard of the United States army,
were his inventions.
The greatest achievement of his
career and the first with which he
would allow his name to become con-
nected, is the invention of the Brown
ing light machine gun and the heavier
water jacket type machine gun. The
light rifle, which is really a machine
gun rifle, can be carried and fired from
the shoulder and will fire 40 shots in
2h seconds.
The heavier water-cooled machine
gun, which operates on tripod, can
fire bullets as fast as it is possible for
them to follow one another from the
muZZle of the barrel. In a recent test
it fired 10000 shots without missing.
These are the guns adopted for the
United States Army.-Wall Street
Journal.

Go Right After Them.

America is interested in pushing
along at top speed and with absolute
efficiency the aircraft program so
necessary to the early winning of the
war. Developments in the United
States senate make this a pertinent
question:
Which is the better way to handle
the situation that is declared to exist
cover up the treachery and short
comings that are charged and humble
something about it's being disloyal and
unpatriotic to find fault with any sit
uation, board or official; or go right to
the bottom of the trouble, uncover ev-
cry feature and phase of it; then, if it
is incompetency, throw out the in
competent officer or board, if it is
treachery, put the traitor behind pris-
on bars or stand him against a brick
well?
Graft, conspiracy and malfeasance,
if not actual treason, are charged in
connection with the aircraft program.
Are these charges, openly made, to be
smothered on some damnable and by
@eocritical pretense of ''the loyalty of
silence and submission" or shall they
be probed to the bottom and if guilt
is disclosed be followed by the severest
punishment the law provides?
With the life blood of our boys she'd
ding every day on the battlefelds of
France there is little patience in Amer
lea with the dishonesty or even in
efficiency which halts and hampers our
war program and shoots into our
troops from the rear. The enemy in
Hun uniform and behind Hun guns is
not so deadly as the enemy at home,
whether he appear in the form Of
treason, graft or incompetency. Get
him!
We have dallied along with the
spreaders of propaganda; we have in
sufficiently punished alien and home
enemies convicted of actual offenses;
we have hesitated over the censure Of
official incompetency through the fear
of creating an atmosphere of captious
criticism and nonsupport of the gov
eminent. But what American will not
agree that the thing to do now is to
go after treason, graft and incompe-
tency wherever they exist ?-St. Paul
Dispatch.
