lE|TH RUSSELL
 SENDS GREETINGS

In telegram to his mother, Mrs. J. H. Russell, of this city, Leith Russell, we'll konwn young printer of Fairbanks, who volunteered his services and is now in the naval training camp at Seattle, says that he expects to be discharged from the service soon, as the result of the ending of hostilities, but that the authorities appear to be un- decided as to when the recruits will be given their discharges. He says that they should soon know when the discharges take effect, and he hopes to hit the trail for the North then.
 His camp, Leith says, had been quarantined for the past forty days owing ro the prevalence of influ- enza. At the time of wiring the ban had been lifted, and he was allowed liberty every night. He has arranged for five-day furlough during Thanksgiving, which he will spend with the Goodfellows, for merly of Fairbanks, who are now settled down in business at Port land.
 He says he saw an account of his death in the Citizen and, like Mark Twain, wishes to assure his folks that the account is greatly exaggerated"

OHIO ROAOHOUSE
 REMAINS CLOSED

P. A. Thelin, owenr of the Ohio roadhouse, stated yesterday that in view of the strict quarantine inn posed by the Nenana Board of Health against the world and by way of aiding in the steps taken to discourage travel between Fair banks and Nenana, he has definitely decided not to open the Ohio road house until all of the quarantine restrictions have been removed and free travel between the two towns permitted.
 Mail carriers who are compelled to travel on the Nenana-Fairbanks trail will find accommodations for their teams and themselves at the roadhouse, but they will have to bring their own provisions along and do their own cooking. They will also have to bring their own bedding.
 Mail carriers who may make a stay at the roadhouse are requested to clean up after they are through and leave things in good shape for the next man that may happen along, in proper sourdough fashion.

IMPORTANT DECISION
FROM SUPREME COURT

ATLANTA. Ga, February 2S.-If a
man is tried for murder and convict
ed mainly on the testimony of one
single witness, and if he secures a
new trial and the witness is missing
On tie second trial and the state cam
rot bring the witness back, it is ad-
rliysable to put in evidence the
stanographer's transcript of the testi-
yAony given by this witness at the
first trial.
Such is the ruling just handed down
bv the Supreme court in a case com
ing up from Oglethorpe county, where
the circumstances were such as above
outlined. In rendering the decision
the decision the Supreme court re-
marks that it would place an unjust
handicap on the state to let defend
ant 90 scot free because the lips OF
a witness against him were sealed in
the interim between his first and sec
ond trials

POLICEMEN To
GET MORE PAY
IN THE FUTURE
THEIR SALARY NOW NINETY DOL
LARS A M0NTH-INCREASES
ALSO GRANTED TO THE CHIEF
AND THE LIEUTENANT.

The pay of the Americus policemen
has been raised. They will now re
ceive ninety dollars a month, instead
of seventy
The chief will be paid $110 hence
forth, and the lieutenant $100.
These increases were decided upon
at a special meeting of the mayor and
council yesterday afternoon, when ac-
ton was taken on the recommendation
of the police commission.
The fact that three members of the
force had quit because of the made
quate pay made it necessary for the
city to do something at once.
The Times Recorder urged that this
action be taken several months ago,
and it probably would have been done
then, but for the fact that the city's
finances did not permit at the time.
The policemen are jubilant over
their raise and members of council
are being warmly congratulated today
by many citizens.

DRAFT WON'T HURT
FARMERS THIS YEAR

ATLANTA, Ca, February 2S.-In-
formation has been received here that
Senator Hoke Smith in Washington
has secured a statement from Provost
Marshal General Crowder that farmers
classified in Glass 1 go ahead and plant
their crops without apprehension of
being drafted into service before they
can make arrangements. In fact, it
was stated to the senator by the pro-
vest marshal that the War department
is now at work on a plan whereby it
hopes to be able to relieve the farm
crs long enough not only to plant this
years crop but also to gather it. The
senator took the matter up with the
provost marshal in response to num-

Less A GIRL WEARS
The MORE She EATS

ATLANTA. Ga, February 2S.-The
less a girl wears, the more she must
eat. This issthe law OF clothes, laid
down by physicians after a full re-
search into the folly of fashions
An inch cut off the skirt necessi-
tates an extra pound of beefsteak
i,.side-or comething like that, as
nearly as it can be stated in untech-
nical language.
Of course the whole story is based
on cold weather conditions. 1t Is con-
tended that the girl who walks the
street in winter with skirts half way
to her knees, thin silk stockings and
chest partly barred to the chilling
breeze, must eat more than is good
for her, simply in order to keep the
heat calories working. She has to
eat so much that she sometimes get
irritable, nervous and eventually dys-
peptic
The girl with money can get enough
to keep her warm when she undress
fer the street." it is said, "but the
working girl who spends nearly all she
earns on clothes to initiate the heir
ess, has SO little fleft for food that
she becomes weakened and an eacy
victim for tuberculosis.
1t is admitted, however, that the
theory applies only to cold weather
In the summertime, so far as mere
physical health is concerned, every
body would be far better off by going
entirely naked, if such a thing were
possible. -.

TWO BIC DRYDOCKs
soon TO Be READY
WORK UPON THOSE AT NORFOLK,
VA, is PROCEEDING RAPIDLY,
ACCORDING TO ADMIRAL MAC
CLAIM

NORFOLK, Va, February 28.-Nor
folk is to have two of the largest dry
docks in America, according to Rear
Admiral Walter Nc Lean, command
ing the Norfolk Navy Yard and the
Fifth Naval District.
Admiral Mclean also says the
naval base recently established on the
site of the Jamestown exposition, over
looking Hampton roads, will be the
operating centre, and from it the navy
win be supplied with material and
men.
Asked as to the important pieces of
work now under way in the district,
Admiral Mclean spoke first of the
great docks within the district. "At
the navy yard there is now being
built one of the greatest docks in this
country" he said "The plan calls for
two docks; but while the second one
will be built eventually, it will not be
completed in the near future We are
spending all our energies on the one
now bein built which we call number
four.
"This dock ought to be finished in
October or earlier, and all ships cap
able of going through the Panama
Canal locks will be capable of going
in this dock. The other dock planned
fer is Immediately alongside of the
one now being built, and will be as
large The two together are the
largest docks the country contemplates
building. The size of the docks is
regulated by the size of the locks of
the Panama Canal. When the time
comes that we get ships that won't
go through the canal we will build
bigger docks than the ones at the
yard But we don't expect that day to
come for some time.
While | was commandant of the
yard, work was begun on very large
structural shop and is now nearing
completion. We also have new
power plant over at the yards, together
with machine shops and foundry, and
there is an appropriation for a very
extensive improvement lin the water
front at the yard
