ings Erected During War.

ber's rooms in the Homer building,
18th and G streets northwest, last
night. Charles w. Darr, chairman,
presided.
Increase in the personnel of the
Washington police force to give each
man one day off week also was rec
commended, as was also the inaugura-
tion of a special traffic force and the
commissioning of citizens with police
authority to assist in the enforce
ment of traffic regulations.
The committee recommended the
erection of Il building near the Dis
trict building to be known as the
public safety building. which would
house the police and fire departments,
the police and traffic courts and all
branches of the District government
which have to do with public safety.

KEEP TIME RECORD
. OF POLICE IN COURT
Maj. Sullivan Seeks to Show
Advantage of Magistrates
at Stations.

Police captains, acting on orders
from Maj. Sullivan, today began keep
ing an accurate record of the time
spent by policemen in Police Court
TO show the need for magistrate
system, advocated by the police chief
in his annual report to Commissioners
oyster.
.T am Confident" said the major
today, that these time sheets VIII
demonstrate the advantage that would
accrue from the establishment of a
system under which magistrates
would visit the police stations morn
ing and evening and dispose of cases
as they arise"
Under the present system OF nav
ing only one central Police Court,
dozens of policemen from all corners
of the city must go there every
morning for the trials of the persons
arrested the previous day.
This greatly depletes the patroi
force on the streets, making it nee
essary for each man left on duty TO
look out for larger territories.
The major said he would make
public the reports OF the captains as
soon as he receives them.

The supreme court affirmed the con-

bloodhound is an expert witness-but
he cannot give the reason for his eX-

GEORGIA CORN CROP
SMALLEST IN YEARS
HEAVY REDUCTION IN ACRE
AGE, AND CONDITION is FAR
BELOW THE AVERAGE.

Georgia's corn crop will be the
smallest in the past fourteen years,
according to estimates given OUT by
the cooperative crop reporting ser
vice, of the United States and Geor-
gia departments of agriculture and the
state college of gariculture.
THE short crop in prospect is caus-
ed both by heavy reduction in acre
age and a condition far below the
average" it is stated. The Official
acreage is 4,Q34000 a decrease OF
eight per cent from last. year. The
above acreage, together with the con-
dition figure of u per cent of normal,
indicates a probable production OF
50,S28,000 bushels, as compared with
100000 bushels last year and the
five year average of about 68OOOOOO
bushels"
Corn is very late in the northern
half of the state, but in the southern
section an improvement is noted, &C
cording to the statement. Rain in the
northern half delayed planting and
cultivation, it is added, but the latter
part of June conditions became more
favorable.
Improvement in Cotton.
In respect to cotton the report says
all states report considerable prog
ress in the growth of the plant with
in the past two weeks. The fields are
reasonably clean and blooms are now
forming rapidly in the south and COM
mencing in the upper region. Boil
weevis are particularly bad in south
Georgia and Florida, causing de-
cline in condition.
This pest. the report adds, is re-
ported very active in the remainder OF
the territory, although it was held in
check by the dry weather during the
past two weeks The crop is so late
that the direct weevil damage in the
upper part OF the belt is hard to tore
cast and the outturn of the whole crop
is problematical.
"Georgia's sweet potato acreage this
year has been reduced in practically
all sections, the acreage for the state
being 10000 ninety per cent OF last
year and the condition figure OF IS
is slightly lower than last year" the
statement continues.
There has been a heavy increase IN
both the amount of bright and shade
tobacco being grown in the state, the
estimated acreage this year being 49,
600, as compared with 1000 acres
last year, it is asserted. A production
of approximately 13,728,000 pounds is
indicated, with the condition figure
now at IS per cent Of normal, accord
ing to the statement.
