ALEXANDRIA VA WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2 92l
WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

From Our Special Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 2G.--The office OF
Royal A. Haynes, U. S. Prohibition
Commissioner, is. one of the busiest
places at the National Capltal just
at present. Since Andrew ". Mellon,
Secretary of the Treasury put out
his regulations permitting peer,
malt, ale and wines to be used as
medicines. hundreds Of applications
have come in from all parts Of the
country from brewers and others who
express desire to get back into the
game Of manufacturing something
with a real kick" in it. The reguIa-
tions have created panic in the pro-
bibition office in Washington, for Sec
retary Mellon did not prepare his
subordinates for his action. He sprang
the regulations when they least sus-
pected them, even after most of the
officials of the prohibition unit had
gone to their homes for the night.
But those charged with the enforce
ment law say the "wet" spell through
out the country will be Of short dura
ton as they expect Congress to act
upon the anti-beer bill soon after the
disposal of the tax measure. Incident
allv. no beer can be manufactured IN
Virginia as that state has laws of its
own preventing the manufacture or
sale of intoxicants of any kind.

The War Department service is al
most disorganized. 1t is all because
the administration will cut the Amerl-
can forces on the Rhine TO about D
900 troops. The entire service wants
to be assigned to this delightful bill
let.
Difference in the foreign exchange
and absence of prohibition are rea-
sons in themselves which account Tor
the desire to serve in Germany. The
army and civilian representatives OF
the government believe it IS not
good thing to leave the same men in
The same place too long. Accordingly,
plans are being made to transfer Of
ficers and men who have been on
duty in Germany to other posts ana
assign new men to their places. Prac-
ticaily all tht men now in Germany
will be withdrawn and new men sub
stituted.

approximately Sl0,000,0OO,OOO worth
of construction work is needed III the

of this cost by 10 per cent. will tend

.ELKS' CAFE is OPENED
TO The PUBLIC.
Walter Pharr Has Taken
Complete Charge.

The elegantly appointed dining
room of the Elks' Home has now been
fitted up into Cafe, and has been
opened to the general public.
Mr.. Walter Pharr, acknowledged
to be caterer without equal in this
part of the country, has been given
charge of the management, and will
operate strictly high class cafe.
Not only the Elks and their fami-
lies, but the general public is envited
to come and take advantage of the
excellent service and catering.
Cement walks have been built this
week from the sidewalk to the front
doors Of the Cafe, so that those who
wish may 60 direct into the dining
room without passing through the
Elks' rooms.
Provisions have been made by Mr..
Pharr for handling special supper
or dinner parties, and those looking
for something out-of-the-o ordinary in
the way of eatables will do well to
give this new Cafe a trial.

it a quite expensive material, but its
qualities fully justify the cost, as it
is almost indestructible, does not
wash away like gravel, and does not
permit grass and weeds to grow up
on the tracks.
In the transfer of the property to
the Southern Pacific the Company
was represented by Messrs. Weeks
and Weeks, Mr.. M. A. Westcott,
Right of Way Agent, and Mr.. Par
sens, The General Manager.
The Board of Directors of the Com
pany appear to be very deeply inter
ested in this new enterprise in New
Iberia, for while it is not a new pro-
position, it is the first pit in Louisi-
ana, and they look to Iberia to sup
ply ballast material for the entire
roadways of their lines in the state.
The present tract of eighty acres
is expected to last for fully five years
and then other tracts of similar land
will be purchased.
1t is impossible to estimate the
benefits accruing to this city from
the new enterprise, as the results
will be so varied and far reaching,
but the first direct benefit will come
from the employment of about forty
men at the pits, of large number
of men to lay the spur tracks, and
of two or three crews to operate the
work trains that will haul the bal
last to all parts of the state, his all
very likely totalling in all a weekly
payroll in excess of $1,500, and will
besides this bring number of new
families into New IBERIA.
Indirectly this city is certain to
gain very much in the way of adver-
Using, as this will be the only indus
try of the kind in the state, and one
Of the very few in the entire United
States.
The Chamber Of Commerce has re-
ceived letters from the Southern Pa
cifc officials expressing appreciation
for the interest taken and assistance
given in bringing the deal to fav
orable conclusion, and locally all the
merchants and citizens in general
owe thanks to the Chamber for land
ing this big industry for the city
Perhaps more than any one per-
son, Mr.. C. A. Barnes deserves the
credit for the new acquisition to our
industrial development, as he has
been unceasing in his efforts for sew
eral months But in his usual unas-
