New and Powerful Combination
Looms In Opposition To
President
HOW STATES WILL VOTE
Big Men of Republican Party
VIII Openly Fight Harding,
Is Forecast

WASHINGTON, May with
the practical politicians and lead
ing officials of the Republican or
ganization ranging themselves
against President Harding his de.
feat for reorganization in 1924-if
he doesn't withdraw his candidacy
before the next national convention
opens-is fast becoming inevitable,
in the opinion of those whose busi-
ness it is to read political signs and
portents.
This new and powerful combina-
ton against Mr. Harding reinforces
the opposition of the progressives
and radicals who are resolved that
he shall not continue in the presi-
dency.
When Will r. Wood, chairman of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, went boldly to the White
House and told President Harding
that his proposal for American rep
resentation in the International

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Definite
indications given by Chairman Lask-
er of the shipping board after a
conference today with President
Harding that the government owned
ships would be kept bone dry for
some time at least, although under
yesterdays Supreme court decision
they legally could carry and serve
liquors on the high seas.
Chairman Lasker discussed with
President Harding nearly an hour
the situation arising from the court
decision.
Later the president took the same
matter up with his cabinet, and it
was considerely likely that def
mite statement of the administra-
tion's course would be forthcoming
before night.

Americus and Its Suburbs
The town work consists of two dis

a. Control of the Dengue Mos

toes.
(2) Elimination of conditions fav-
orable to the malaria mosquito.
(lQ. Dengue Fever Control and
local Mosquito Nuisances.
The Stegomyia and Cutex Fatigans
breed in water containers in back
yards and in houses. To eliminate
these species we must prevent mos
quito breeding in artificial water
containers in the back yards of 1000
homes ana inside those houses.
In this class of work it has been
found best to use Saturday as mos
quito day and ask each family and
store proprietor to inspect their prem
ises for mosquito breeding places at
or before nine o'clock each Saturday
morning throughout the mosquito
breeding season.
One or two small catfish should be
placed in each open top well or
underground cistern. Gambusia will
do if catfish are not obtainagle.
Metallic cisterns should be thor

creasing. Shortage of railroad cars
is tending to hamper the industry.
A nationwide demand for addi-
tional shelter is sweeping the lumber
industry into a degree of prosperity
of a more far reaching character than
that enjoyed. perhaps, by any other
line of enterprise. A shortage of
100000 family shelters existed a
year ago. according to an estimate
made by the Department of Com
rerce. AT about the same time that
the estimate was made. economic
conditions began to improve so that
it became possible for contractors to
obtain money with which to finance
large operations. A building revival
or boom swept the entire United
States. The boom is still going on.
There is every indication that 1t
will continue for many months.
The United States is still from two
to three years behind in its building
needs despite the unusual construc-
t'onal activity of the last year. Ac-
cording to some observers this activ-
ity has been sufficient only to meet
ordinary requirements. II this view
is cor -lctely correct. the housing
shortage is still as acute as it was a
year ago. That this view is some
what extreme, however, is indicated
by the fact that rental standards are
being lowered in many sections. The
supply of shelter is thus shown to be
catching up with demand but mere
~ catching up: 1t has not yet reached
a point of being equal TO demand.
Prices of building materials are adj
vancng and labor is short in almost
every section.
