WHO BUILT SENATE'S
LUXURIOUS BATHS?
AND REPUBLICANS
DISPUTE AS TO WHERE THE
RESPONSIBILITY LIES.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Who built
the senate baths?
Americas solons chose a day when
senatorial perspiration saturated the
air to handy words over the crown
ing luxury of governmental extrava-
gance.
Voluptuaries of Caesars times had
no such wonderful bath rooms as
senators described and criticized.
at was heralded," declared Sena-
tor Kenyon, of Iowa, chat the first
act of the republicans coming into
power was to open marble bath rooms
in the senate office building. / found
that was done by the democrats
through their committee on rules be-
fore it's membership was changed,
SO in order to keep records straight
| hope it may be known that the ''un-
washed democracy" and not the re
publicans opened the marble bath
rooms"
The democrats admitted they haC
turned on the spigots" but insisted
vigorously that the luxurious place
had been ordered built By the repub
Iicans before the democrats came in
to power.
And thus the fevered solon'
brought themselves to a state fol
thorough enjoyment of the extrava
gance they denounced.

TWO MORE KILLED
AT SOUTHER FIELD
M'RAE AND PRI-
VATE BROOK MEET INSTANT
DEATH IN MID-AIR.

Lieutenant John K. McRae and
Private Robert A. Brook were in
stantly killed at Souther Field short
ly before noon Thursday, when the
airplane in which they were taking a
practice spin collided with another
ship piloted by Lieutenant Wilfred
B. Warde at an altitude of between
500 and 1000 feet.
Brook, who was a resident of New
nan, enlisted in the air service on
July l, and was taking his first ride
in an airplane when killed. Lieuten-
ant Warde and Thomas w. Price, a
private riding with him as passenger,
escaped serious injury, though their
plane was badly damaged.
The two planes had left the ground
together only a short time before.
The air pilots were taking the two
privates en- the first rides they had
ever experienced in an airship under
the rule which gave permission for
enlisted men to be taken aloft be-
fore transfer from the camp.
Lieutenant McRae was a native OF
Resale, Wash, and was commission
ed a second lieutenant here in No
vember, 1918. He had been stationed
at Souther Field during nearly a
year.

ATLANTA WOMEN
CUNNING FOR men
AFTER POLITICAL SCALPS OF
MEN WHO MAKE THEM PAY.
A BIG OLD ROW.

ATLANTA, Ga.-"They've said
they'd give ten thousand to beat me, y
recently stated E. C. Buchanan, chair
man of the city executive committee,
which this year voted to allow women
the right of the ballot in the city prl-
mary for the first time in history.
And not only are they (the wo-
mem after the scalp of Buchanan,
but also after the hair of quite few
other members of the committee, with
which the women have engaged III a
long wrangle over the disposition OF
the registration fees arising from the
payment by nearly 1000 women OF
one dollar each on qualifying.
So the knife is ready and in the
hands of the women for the men who
gave them the right of the ballot,
forming a rather unique political IN
cident when it is remembered how
lavish the women were in praise OF
the committee after the decision was
made to allow them to vote.
The wrangle between the women
and the city will be of statewide
Importance in view of the action OF
the legislature recently in turning
down the suffrage amendments by
such decisive majorities.
The women will be called upon to
vote for some five aldermen, eleven
councilmen, one school commission
er. one superintendent of the water
works and for forty-four members
of the city committee.
In the case of the aldermen only
one has opposition; of the council
men there are several involved in hot
races: the school commissioner and
the superintendent of the water
works, the incumbents are unoppos-
err: and in the city committee there
are some sixty odd men seeking for
ty-four places.

before William T. Phillips, secretary
of the Pennsylvania Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
this morning by agents of the socie-

report.
The complaint alleging the burning
of live chickens to boost prices was
made to the S. P. C. A. by George

it does not matter whether 4,OOo

needless burning of even one 1--we

When it was suggested that chlk-
ems that died en- route to PhlIadelphla
had been burned under the boilers at

agent of the society, declared that
such was not the practice.

GERMAN DOG FLOOD
THREATENING THE u. S.
Soldiers, Sailors, War Workers, Ev-
erybody Are Bringing Home One
OF the "Police Variety"

PARIS.-America will be overrun
with German police dogs if the dog
catchers at the ports in the United
States, where the returning troops
land, do not put an embargo on the
German product.
All the soldiers and marines from
the Rhine districts bring police dogs
to Paris. Officers, doughboys and girl
workers with the army lead them
through the Paris streets. The Amer
lean troop trains passing through
Belgium and Luxembourg on their
way to French ports all carry
great assortment of the German ca
mines.
Red Cross workers, Young Mems
Christian Association workers and
members of the Young Women's
Christian Association have been won
over by the German police dogs, and
are taking them back to America.
Most of the CANNES have pedigrees
showing that their grandfather was
wolf. They are all gray, about the
size OF a shepherd dog, with the
pointed nose and sharp, erect ears
of a wolf.

NO PERFUMED FAGS
FOR LADY SMOKERS
DIES MONIES WOMEN SMOKING
EN- ROUGH" GOLD TIPPED
CIGARETTES NOT USED.

DIES MONIES, Iowa.-Perfumed
cigarettes are drug on the market
in Des Moines. Des Moines feminine
devotees of the Lady Nicotine smoke
'em rough.
The rough and ready army smokes
or the slightly more aristocratic bus
mess mems favorites are preferred
among women smokers here, and the
dainty little gold-tipped CONNECTIONS
designed for their use simply aren't
in demand.
Occasionally very young men call
for the violet-scented cigarettes along
with a box of candy, which combina-
ton of purchases lead certain tobac-
co dealers to believe that the scented
cigarettes are merely the misguided
choice of men who haven't learned
how it's being done.
One out of every hundred Des
Moines women have been Initiated
and have learned how to smoke, as
sert local cigar store clerks.
cit used to be that they wouldn't
buy them for themselves" one clerk
confided, "but during the war lot
of them didn't have any men to buy
their cigarettes for them, so they
took to buying their own. Now they
come in and call for the brands that
the men use, but almost never for
the perfumed things"
Equal rights! That's all it is.

WILSON TO LIFT BAN
ON WAR PROHIBITION
REPORT SAYS BANKS EXERT
PRESSURE BECAUSE DEALERS
UNABLE TO PICK UP LOANS.

WASHINGTON, D. Washing
ton is alive with rumors that the
president plans to lift wartime pro-
hibition, which went into effect July
LIST, on the first of October.
The report is that pressure by
banks has been eSerted in the prem
ises and that the president will per-
nit the sale Of liquors and beverages
for the three remaining months be-
fore constitutional prohibition for
business reasons chiefly.
Since the operation of wartime
prohibition, it is said, the receipts of
the government from internal reve-
nue. have fallen greatly, with the re-
suit that the ways and means COM
mittee is now seriously considering
the necessity to enact additional rev.
enue raisers to make up the losses
from the returns from the whisky and
beer taxes.
But the serious aspect which is in
fluencing the president to act, sald
to be aside from his known desire
to play fair with the semi-legalized
industry, is the great amount of mon
ey loaned to distillers and brokers
on whisky in storage. In many sec
lions the banks find themselves serl-
ously hampered by the inability OF
the whisky men to lift the loans.
By October l, it was estimated to-
day by war department official, the
army will be demobilized to all In
tents and purposes. President Wilson
indicated in his statement issued
when he left Brest, refusing to lift
the ban at that time, that he could
not act until rehabilitation had end
ed and intimated most strongly that
he would act then
In anticipation of such action deal
ers are now sending letters to mem
bers of congress offering to sell them
wines and liquors at greatly reduced
prices on October |. These letters
saw that the wet stuff cannot be sent
to them in Washington, but will be
delivered to them in Baltimore OF. IN
outlying districts, where the bone-dry
law does not operate.

WOMEN STRIKERS
RESORT TO VIOLENCE
BREAK INTO MILL AND DRAG
GIRL FROM BENCH. TWO WO-
MEN ARE ARRESTED.

MACON, Ga.-Rioting between
women textile workers marked the
second day of the strike of mill oper-
atives here today, the most serious
clash occurring at Bibb mill No. 2,

thorne street Miss Mason was con-
siderably bruised, but not seriously
injured.
j. C. Gambrell superintendent of
the knitting mill, caused the arrest of
Alice Fisher and Matte Eubanks,
two of the strikers, and charged
them with assault and battery. They
gave bond in the sum of 5000 for
their appearance.
Close Down Mill Four Months.
Clashes between union and non
union workers at Bib mill No.2 and
rioting among strikers and their SYM
pathizers at Bib mill No. l occurred
during the day, when efforts were
made to resume operation of both
plants. Seven women were arrested
by sheriff's deputies.
The workers at the Manchester
mills also were called out today. This
makes more than a thousand out of
employment as result of the textile
strike.
Notices were posted at Bibb mill
No 2 tonight reading: "Closed for
four months" Pickets continued on
duty all night at all mills.

IS PREY TO WEEVIL
is ESTIMATED 100000 BALES
WILL BE LOST BETWEEN NOW
AND SEPTEMBER 1ST.

ATLANTA, Ga.-More than half
of the producing counties of
the United States are now the prey
of the weevil. The weevil leaves
nothing in the field except cotton
stalks and the impoverished farmer.
The writer has counted 122 ruined
bolls on. one stalk Of cotton and three
of the smallest bolls, down near the
ground, promising a few locks of cot
ton.
Notwithstanding the apparent I'M
provement in crop conditions, which
is largely the result of better wealth
err, the boil weevil will destroy q
100000 bales of cotton, and possibly
more, between now and the first of
September. Weather conditions have
multiplied the weevils innumerably
and weather conditions have put the
plant in exactly the condition desir-
ed by the weevil.
Rains in North Carolina.
In North Carolina, where the sea-
son is about Fights days late, the
plant is fruiting rather poorly, rains
have been excessive in about half
the counties, and there is much com
plaint of shedding.
In South Carolina, where the sea-
son is about nine days late, the fruit
ing is light to satisfactory, rains have
been excessive in half the counties,
and the weevil is beginning to be very
destructive in the South and South
west.
In Georgia, where the season IS
ten DAYS late, weather has been un-
favorable in two-thirds of the coun-
ties, the fruiting is light in half the
counties, and the weevil is tearing
up the patch" from Florida almost to
Stone Mountain.
In Alabama, where the season is
some seventeen days late, weather
conditions have improved, but the
crop of cotton is much poorer than
it was last year. The weevil is dong
his deadly work in half the cotton
producing counties of the state.
Half of Mississippi Cotton Lost.
In Mississippi, where the season is
some eighteen days late. the weather
has improved and the fruiting is, nor
NAL in about two-thirds of the coun-
ties, but the weevil is writing the
obituary of half the cotton in the
state.
In Louisiana, where the season is
about twenty days late, the weather
has improved, the condition OF the
plant has improved, but the frulting
is rather light for Louisiana and the
weevil is sticking, closely to his job
In Tennessee, where the season is
about sixteen days late, the weather
is generally favorable, the fruiting. is
normal and the prospects are quite
as good as they we're two weeks ago
In Florida the cotton crop is much
poorer than it was last year and the
weevil is active.

WILL OPEN RETAIL STORES
TO BRING DOWN PRICES
Stores to Be Established in IA
Zone Supply Centers for the
Sale of Surplus Stock Cloth
ing and Other Commodities.

Further steps in an effort to bring
down soaring prices are being taken
by the government, the war depart
ment announcing plans for opening
retail stores in number of cities
through which surplus household
commodities and clothing will be
made available to consumers through
out the country.
Meantime congressional commit
tees continue consideration of legisla-
ton designed to reduce the high cost
of living. This includes amendments
to the food control act to punish
profiteering and boarding; bills to
regulate cold storage and appropria-
tions for the federal trade commits
sion to investigate stocks and give
the information to the public.
Through the retail stores to be
opened by the war department the
army's large surplus stocks of socks,
underwear, shirts, raincoats, blank
cts, gloves, tobacco, soap and other
household commodities will be sold.
Consumers in the large cities where
the stores will be operated will be
able to purchase over the counter,
but the stocks also will be made avail
able to persons in other communities
through the parcel post.
Price lists are being prepared and
these will be furnished to all post
offices for the convenience of the
public. While no announcement has
yet been made it is expected that the
prices, like those on the foodstuffs
now being disposed of, will be below
the prevailing market.
Present plans are to open stores
in the fourteen zone supply centers,
and it is expected in those sections
of the country in which large areas
are embraced in zone boundaries adj
ditional cities will be selected as sale
centers.

products should not be uniform, but
should depend on the food stored.
Fish and eggs, he said, could not be
stored without material deterioration,
while meats and other foods were inn
proved by storage.
