Townscnd's call for the special session.
Little time was wasted in dsposins Of the nationa
prohibition amendment It went through both houses
with an hurrah It was the State Council Of Defense
bin that both time and money were spent II
that matter had been handled properly at the outset
nna adjournment might have been made several days ago
However as the defeat Of the original bill offered was
essential TO the preservation Of the liberty and selre-
spect Of the patriotic people Of Commonwealth ana
as the enactment Of sensible substitute was necessary
as a precau ionary measure the time which elapsed be-
tween the tagging Of original House bin by the Senate
and the passing Of the substitute bill by both houses
was well spent.

Fuel Problem

It is claimed by authority on
the subject at Washington that
fifty four millions during the
past year but for all that whe-
|ther true or not, the greatest
shortage in years is being ex-
perienced now in mauufactur-
ing and other centers. In fact,
numbers of factories have had
to shut down as well as many
other institutions and even
churches, schools, picture shows
and numerous other places are
either suspended or put on very
short allowance. Continued cold
weather will result in hamper
ing war preparations and how
does such a state happen to ex-
list at this particular time? Un-
5doubtedly the railroads are part
ly to blame but hardly for all
of the shortage. Prices are as
high for many other necessaries

increased cost to operators, but
the public stands for it-so far.

.Drys' Charges To Be Probed

Washington. January 15.-
Congressional investigation of
"slanderous charges" against
the character of American troops
abroad. alleged to have been
circulated by the Antisaloon
League, was proposed in reso-
luton today by Representative
Cary of Wisconsin.
The resolution proposes that
Speaker Clark appoint seven
members from the Military Com
mittees to inquire into these
grave and serious charges. 1t
says that statements by the
Anti-saloon League that our sol
diers in Europe are drunkards,
afflicted with vile diseases. fill
ing the prisons. are ''slal der
GUS and detrimental to the char
acter and reputation of our boys
who are sacrificing their lives
for liberty" ("
The resolution would empower
the committee to summon wit
nesses from the Antisaloon Lea
que. and that they be compelled
to furnish proof of where they
obtained their information.

Wednesday.
Pat Martin turned up down
town the latter part of last week
with a multitude of spots on his
face. He had considerable fever
and a big charge of disgust
aboard. Cheese box experts di-
agnosed the case chicken pox.
The pustules did not disappear
and Sunday Pat consulted a ply
sician who informed him that ne
had smallpox. Pat kindly circu-
lated among what friends were
abroad for their mail and in
formed them of the disease then
went home to be sick for a time.
If there is not a spread of the
disease here it is because Pat
won't let loose of anything and
another west of town is not
contagious. There are several
cases about this section and the
people have a right to know
about it in time to guard against
infection. No chances should be
given or taken for the spread Of
the loakhesolne disease.
