PRODUCTION OF AMERICA REACHED
 HIGH MAXIMUM

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Ameri ca's enormous preparations to over whelm the German armies with poi son gas, which were halted while at their height, have been made public by the American Chemical Society, members of which state that the military authorities believed Ger many's knowledge of these prepara tions had been an important factor in causing her to seek peace. In May, 1917, the production of gas masks was started by five volunteers and up to the time the truce was signed there had been produced 5, 900, 900 masks. 3,000.O00 extra canis- ters, 500,0O0 horse masks and large quantities of mustard gas suits, with gloves, ointments and antidotes.
 The production of gas masks when hostilities ceased had reached 10000 a day The 1919 model showed a revolution in the design overcoming all discomforts of earlier patterns and adding tenfold to their efficiency. On November 11th. the United States had facilities for producing 100 tons of mustard gas day while chlorine. phosgene. chloropicrin and other new vapors unknown to the Germans were reaching a large production propor- tions.

YANKEE GIRLS
 ARE THE BEST
 SAYS ALASKAN
Marshall G. Fremming Writes an Interesting Letter to George
 Buford.

George c. Bnrford received the fol- lowing letter from Master Engineer Marshall G. Fremming from Tours, France, in one of the recent mails :: Dear George-and everybody:
 George, you always were booster, and believe me if we had lots more ike you, she would have been "finis' long time ago. But she is over now. and all the soldiers in the A. E. F. certainly thank our people back home for what they have done for us.
 The Huns sure did get a taste of American steel-enough to last them for the rest of their days.
 We'll, I will be home soon, I hope. Alaska is Gods Country" and don't care who knows it.
 had a letter from my brother, Harvey, today. He is now a Ser geant. We boys have done pretty we'll in the Army. I am a Master Engineer and that is the highest rank an enlisted man can get. I have travelled all over the coun try from Northern France to the Vos-. ges sector and then to the Mediter ranean Sea, then to the Spanish bor- der and the Bay of Biscay. cer- tainly have had a wonderful exper- fence while here-and one that I will never forget.
 Gee, you certainly have had some time up there; old Gold Creek cer- tainly was on a rampage. wasn't it? How is the National George, still got her? It will be great to get back in Juneau and feel like a new man. You will have to crank her up and give me ride-Tres Necessar Nest pas-( (some of nay French.) From some of the letters I get from my different girl friends, they seem to thing that the boys lover here" will bring back Trenches with them But, between you and me and the Guard House, they can not compare with our American girls There are some really cute ones, though.
 We'll, George. I must close, as duty calls me to the front. Am building a sawmill and must go out and see how the men are getting along.
 Give my regards to all my friends.
 As Ever.

FASHION IN MORALS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
 OPINION OF DOCTOR

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S-"It is our pa triotic duty to put on more clothes, save coal and improve health," was the substance of an address before the Public Health Administration section of the American Public Health Association by Dr. Jeanette F. Throc' morton of Claritan, Iowa.
 There are fashions not only in dress, but in trend of thought and morals" Dr. Trockmorton continued "The impulse which moved our pri mitive ancestors to adopt dress were first, vanity, next protection and lastly modesty. Of these, that of protection seems most often disre- garded by the gentler sex. The GUS tom of wearing Summer clothing in Winter is a pernicious one, and the continual chilling of the skin causes congestion of the internal organs with attendant ills.
 Erect carriage and gait are i'm portant qualities and are influenced by the style of corset and shoes worn.
 Dress and morals are intimately associated and modesty in dress ap pears in demand but little at pres ent. Our adolescent daughters often use poor judgment not only in dress but in conduct" ak

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-Director- General McAdoo. in recommending to Congress unified control of railroads for five years to January 1, 1924, said:

Colored banks of Norfolk and Ports
mouth, Va, distributed $1S0,O00.O0 on
the 10th and 18th of December of
their 5000 members of the Christ
mas Savings Clubs.
Placing a hundred and eighty
thousand dollars in the hands of
our group in any city is no small
item, and Institutions that can do
that for our people within week are
real factors for thrift and uplift
among our group.
The Downs Savings and Banking
Company of Norfolk, was the first
Colored bank to inaugurate the Christ
mas Club, who saved $4,000 which
was handed to them on the 18th.
Their 1920 club opened the same day
with a flattering outlook. The Mu-
tual Savings Bank has recently NOV
ed into its new home where every
feature Of the bank is new and the
most modern obtainable.
In 1920 there will be three clubs
instead of two as this year for the
Tidewater Bank and Trust Co., which
opened the 9th of last June, opened
its 1920 club on the 9Th of December.
This club has nearly a thousand
members already This bank has
reached the 100000 mark in resour-
ces.
