Grecian BUILDING Materials.

Brick is the most common kind of
building material in Saloniki and in all
New Greece. Wooden structures are
rare, on account of the shortage of
timber. Stone is little used except
for underground walls and founda-
tons. Ordinary walls are built with
both plain and hollow bricks. The
former, being more solid, are generally
used for the building of lower stories,
while hollow bricks are commonly en-
ployed in the upper stages. The prin-
Npal kind OF roofing used is made of

To the Voters OF the 45th Senatorial

District as then constituted was too
large, it being composed of six coun-
ties and being the largest district in
the state. | at once began a move
ment to increase the number of SEN

by loyal friends, a bill was at the last
session of the General Assembly pass
ed increasing the number Of Senators
from A to 81, and making the 45th
District from the Counties of Telfair,
Ben Hill and Irwin.
After having represented my coun-
ty in the lower house for three con-
secutive terms, it is but natural that
| should feel an ambition to represent
the new district for which | worked
so long as its first senator.
| do feel such an ambition and at
the request of many strong friends
from each of the three counties COM
posing the District | hereby am
nounce my candidacy for state SEN
Rtor from said district, and earnestly
solicit the support of all white voters

aithful performance of the duties of
the office. Very respectfully,

Advice s-sdiers Need Not Take.

Sergeant, The French for which is
sergent, the italian sergente, comes
from the medieval Latin word SER
viens, meaning a servant, a vassal, or
a vassal soldier who seems TO have
acted as an orderly or striker. Tell
this to your sergeant some warm day
when he crit,cises your appearance on
parade in his coarse, uhfeeling man
ner. It will soften him. 1t may evci,
melt him.-New York Evening Post.

Patriotic Air Reused Her,

A Quincy girl returned from a dance
recently at about 3 a. IN. and could not
be awakened for work. The alarm
clock had no effect, nor did repeated
calls from members of the family. Her
little brother footed the reveille, but
the girl was no soldier. Finally "The
Star-Spangled Banner" was played,
and to that the patriotic girl immedi.
ately responded.-Boston Globe.

NEW LIQUOR ORDER
FOR ARMY DRASTIC
Plan Is TO End Booilegging
Outside Dry Zones
Around Camps
HEAVY PENALTY
ON VlOLATERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.-Revision Of
the rules plOniDitlng the sale or serN-
ing oil intOMcants 10 omlcers and en-
listed men OF The army. announced on
tuesday, is designed, Chairman Fosdiek,
Of the COMMISSION on Training Camp
Activities, explained yesterday. to
stamp out bootlegglDg" outside Of the
dry zones around military camps. Not
only Is the old ruling not relaxed. he
said, but the revised regulation Is
much more stringent.
Under the original order. Mr.. Fos-
dick said, only the sale OF liquor TO
officers and enlisted men in uniform
was prohibited outside Of the dry zones
and "bootleggers" and unscropulous IL
duor dealers were enabled to evade the
law without violating It technically.
As revised, the regulations prohibit
the serving, giving or delivering OF In
toxicants to an oflcer or soldier out
side the zone, except that in private
homes liquors may be served 10 oflcers
or soldiers who are members Of the
family or bonaflde guests. Persons con-
vlcted OF violating the new regulations
would be liable TO a fine OF $1,000 or
twelve months Imprisonment or both
The definition OF the term military
camp has been enlarged in the revised
order to embrace training camps Of
the ordnance and quartermaster's de-
partments and medical officers through
out the United States. Hawaii and Porto
Rico.
In making public the new order
Chairman Fosdlck asked the cooper
alton of liquor dealers and cafe pro
prietors In preventing all sales OF IL
euor TO be consumed of the premises
This plan. he believes, would cut on
the supply to "bootleggers." Many n
mor dealers associations and indi'
yidual license-holders already have pu'
such a rule in effect, and Mr.. Fosd'ci
saws the Government may make sucr
action compulsory in certain cities un'
less conditions in those places materi
ally improve.
