WARTIME LAWS
KILLED IN HOUSE,
SENT TO SENATE,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-SpecuIa-
ton today as to it's probable fate in
the senate followed the passage in
the house late yesterday without an
opposition vote Of the Volstead res
olution repeating most Of the war;
time legislation. The repeal measure
was broadened at the last moment
by the adoption of an amendment
including the Lever food control act.
AS it goes before the senate, the
measure leaves for repeal only the
trading with the enemy act. the war
finance corporation act, measures
dealing with issuance of Liberty and
Victory bonds, and the District of
Columbia rent act.
The resolution declares "any act
of congress that by its terms is In
force only during the existence of a
thereafter shall be construed and adj
ministered on the date which this
resolution becomes effective.
The measure. as adopted, Is practi-
cally identical with that passed by
congress just before the adjourn
ment of the last session and vetoed
by President Wilson.
The measure now goes to the sem
ate, where it's speedy passage is pre-
dicted. Its effect will be to take
away from the president number
Of extraordinary powers which were
given him during the war and which
permitted exercise of discretion in
matters which before then had re-
quired consent of congress. Most Of
the laws setting up wartime ma
chinery were to be repealed automat-
ically after peace was established.
Theoretically the country is still at
war, and the laws had remained in
effect. The resolution wipes them
off the hooks

that baled cotton is being left ex-

. "After a farmer has toiled and
sweated to produce cotton. it is the
height of folloy to leave it exposed.
Every time the rain falls on it. the
grade of the cotton depreciates and
the value goes down. We are earn

place their cotton in warehouses ev-

warehouses; second. If warehouse
storage is not available. to protect
the cotton on their premises"
Cotton can be fairly well protected,

MOREBOOSTERS
VOICE SUPPORT
OF WORLD FAIR

The army of boosters for the pro-
posed worlds fair in Atlanta in
1925, is steadily growing, according
to reports from M. D. Gleason, who
is working in cooperation with the
worlds fair citizens committee head
ed by Councilman r. A. Gordon. Mr..
Gleason has appeared before a large
number Of civic and fraternal bod
les throughout the city, and has OBJ
tanned practically unanimous voice
Of approval from representative Al
lantians in all walks Of life.
1t is now proposed that the fair
be held for six months, beginning in
May, 1925, and that preparations be
begun Immediately for making 1t one
of the most important events in the
history of the city.
The big fair is expected to accom-
plish a number of worthy objects
which will affect not only the south
but the whole country. The last
world exposition was held at San
Francisco in 1915, and in 1925 it is
expected that the time will be ripe
for another great assembly. This
following the great war, and can
serve as great agency in climax
ing the reconstruction era in Amer
lea, according to present plans.
The necessity of further advertis-
ing the Industrial and agricultural
development of the south and for i'm
pressing upon outsiders the great
will also be an object of the Atlanta
worlds fair. 1t is expected that such
an enterprise will attract large
number of desirable settlers to the
south, and that it will promote not
only the industrial but the agricul-
tural welfare of Georgia and other
states.
1t is believed also that the world
exposition will mean a great deal
toward the development of the Latin
American trade in the south, trade
for which Atlanta is one of the nat
ural centers. ~.

visited by Mr.. Gleason during the
past week, all of them pledging unan-

Foreign Made Toys
Being Replaced by
"Made in America"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Some
idea of the extent to which foreign
made toys have been replaced III
America by the homemade article IS
given by the estimate Of the amer
lean Forestry association that close
to 30.000 900 feet of lumber was
used this year by American toy
makers.
By adding the millions of toys
made from this wood to the enormous
quantity made of other material, the
Forestry association says some lde eH3
be gained. If the buying public will
'Iook for the label" it adds, the
foreign toy will be eliminated.
"The- main consideration which
holds wood in it's place as toy ma
terial is not cheapness," says the as
ISOLATION, though that has some
thing to do with it.. Articles of large
size would be too heavy If made of
metal, but many articles are made
Of wood because 1t is the best, ire
spective of cost or weight. Sleds
are good example.
Children are the arbiters OF toy
kinds and style. They initiate what
thew see around them and toymakers
recognize this fact. The manufac-
turer supplies what the child wants
by making a class of objects which
may be designated as educational.
Another class, initiating tnlnSS seen
in real life, is recognized as archi-
tectural. A third has to do with
trades and the tools and machines
for carrying them on. A well defined
group is based on the use of must
cal instruments. Boats, RATS, canoes,
and such things as float and are use
full have been responsible for toys
based on water craft.
Children are familiar with furni-
ture and they easily recognize two
classes, one for the kitchen and one
for the living room, and these go
under the list of furniture toys. Ami
mails and birds and creeping things
form another class grouped as nat
ural history. Still another kind
which is very common belongs in
the class of games and amusements.
The waste problem in toy making
is not a serious one. says the
Forestry association, because most
Of the pieces used are small and
