"THE MESSIAH" TO BE

CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA

Now that Thanksgiving day
is past and the last of the tur-
key and trimmings have dis
appeared from our tables, our
hearts have turned to the
Esprit of Christmas. There
are many things which help to
give us the true Christmas
spirit. One of the best ways to
spread this Christmas spirit to
others is through music and
song.
We all like to sing Christmas
Carols, which tell us of Christ's
birth. In our thoughts we can
hear the angels sing as they
did that first Christmas night.
Out of the abundance of Christ
mas music there is one oratorio
that has contributed greatly to
the Esprit of Christmas" -

ILLINOIS CROP OUTLOOK

Abundant rains and near
tropic heat and humidity are
Fastening the growth of what
looks like one of the largest
crops of corn ever raised III
Illinois. A recent report by
state and federal departments
of agriculture shows a pros
pective yield of IS bushels per
acre, or a total of 1877, 100000
bushels. Last years crop was
only 343,492,O0O bushels. Corn
is farther along than usual for
this time of the year, and in
some fields has been laid by
with only two civilizations.
Soybeans also are making
rapid growth, on an acreage
about ten per cent less than
that of last year. Oats harvest
is in progress, with total yield
estimated at 1856, 200 BUSH
els, compared with 1947 crop
of 117,O05,000 bushels.

Quoting from a recent study,
Mr.. Smith said that domestic
demand for oil products in
1913 will hit new peak at
approximately 80 billion gal
Ions, equal to more than 245
million gallons each day, and
an increase of "A per cent COM
pared with 1911, the prewar
peak year. The rest of the
world, he said, will use an es-
timated At billion gallons of
petroleum products this year.
To supply the unprecedent-
ed demand, Mr.. Smith COM
mented that the American Oil
industry will make available
for domestic use in 1913 a re-
cord average of better than
253 million gallons every day,
with an indicated "cushion"
against expected demand of
about 8 million gallons.

ELECTRICITY RESERVE.
CAPACITY

CAPACITY
On several occasions recent
ly, the power demands on the
system of Public Service Com
pany of Northern Illinois and
associated utilities serving 900
northern Illinois cities and
towns have approximately
equalled the systems avail
able capacity.
The resulting lack of re-
serve capacity has caused the
system to undertake a survey
among 1000 larger industrial
and commercial customers to
ascertain their minimum pow
er requirements in the event
of temporary electricity short
ages.
The shortages in reserve
capacity, which is common to
most large industrial areas of
the country, results from cir
cumstances beyond the con-
troll of the company. These in
clude a continuing rise in cleo
tricity use, the inability to add
sufficient new generating ca
pacity due to war restrictions
and postwar limitations and
the withdrawal of apparatus
from service for necessary
overhauling.
Demands on the system have
increased 778,0O0 kilowatts,
or 48 per cent, since 1910,
while additions to generating
capacity have been limited to
slightly over 100000 XIV -
ali that could be added dur
ing the war and immediate
postwar period.
The system now has under
construction or on order $751;
900 XIV of new generating ca
pacity and another 100000 XIV
planned, but it will take from
9 months to 312 years to COM
plete the various installations
involved in the S400,00O,OOO
expansion program, largest in
history.
The survey-termed a ''pre-
cautionary measure due to the
tight capacity situation"-will
cover all customers with 25,-
900 watts or more of demand
served by Public Service Com
pany, Commonwealth Edison
Company (Chicago), Western
United Gas and Electric Com
pany, and Illinois Northern
Utilities Company.
The present shortage of re-
serve capacity is expected to
continue until at least the
spring of 1949 when the next
big generating unit in the sys-
TENS multi-million dollar ex-
pansion program is scheduled
for completion.
According to the company,
everything possible is being
done to prevent a power en-

such a big expenditure and to the
Government taking acre after acre

senior Senator. Millard E. Tydings,
as his vice presidential running
mate.
Maryland's gesture to the Presi-
dent, who in recent months has
had some bad moments with Dixie
Democrats, took on additional sig
nificance because 1t was sponsored
by Gov. Lane, who is chairman of
the Southern Governors Conference.

party politics had been a subject of
discussion.
Senator Tydings, whose frequent
differences with the Democratic ad-
ministration once led to an at
tempted purge by President Roose-
welt, assured his constituents that
ne was interested in the vice pres
ioential nomination. He explained
that while he did not actively seek
any other Office he would abide by

spect to the national ticket.

By George Beveridqe

The District Medical Society has
indorsed the Health Departments S
plan to supply Washington doctors
with enough penicillin to give 1900
Office treatments for gonorrhea dur
ing the next year, it was learned
today.
Action en- the Districts proposal
for another step in an all-out fight
against venereal diseases was taken
by the society's Executive Board at
a meeting Monday night.
The penicillin, which costs about
73 cents a treatment, will be made
available to the department by the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice, it was learned, through grant,
in-aid program. DR.. S. Ross Tag
CART, chief Of the Health Depart
ment venereal disease section, said
the new program will be ready to
go into effect late this month or
early in July.
To Supply as Needed.
Under the plan the department
will mail the drug to doctors as
they need it. he explained. Partici-
patton in the program will be on
an individual basis by the doctors
Dr. Frank Jones, chairman of a
venereal disease committee of the
District Medico-Chiurgical Society
said the groups Board of Governors
approved the plant last month The
society, representing the citys i80
colored doctors. vii consider the plan
at meeting June "a, DR.. Jones said
DR.. Taggart explained that the
private physician plan will add to
treatment given already at four GEN.
ters in the Dostrict. In addition to
the rapid treatment clinic at Gal
linger Hospital, he said, units are in
operation at the Southwest Health
Center, Delaware avenue and I
street S.W.; the Polk Health Gen.
ter, Seventh and P streets SW. and
the skin clinic at Freedmen's Hos
pital.
Hight Rate of Cures.
Penicillin has been proved effec-
tive in curing up to 80 per cent of
gonorrhea cases in a single treat
ment, DR.. Taggert said.
In addition to the doctor-partici-
patton plan, the District Health De-
partment plan to launch a sizable
public education program officials
said, to make information available
about gonorrhea in an attempt to
reduce the disease, which has been
increasing at a steady rate since the
war Details of the education plan

pealed last night to the Macarthur

reverse its stand, favoring aboli-
tion of the present National Train

Mr.. Tramburg argued that 1--WE
are going to have to run this in
stitution as long as Judge can
commit one child to it If we
must continue, let us operate it ef-
fciently." he added.
He said the present buildings of
the National Training School for
Girls could accommodate many
children from other crowded We'll
fare Board institutions If this were
permitted. The school now has
only II inmates, he said,
Gordon M Atherholt, president of
the Northwest Council, rose to dis
pute Mr.. Tramburg's point.
The law" he said, does not say
that a child has to go to a building
AT a certain location" He argued
that the present National Training
School for Girls at Macarthur
boulevard and Loughboro road NV,
is "a blemish on the community"
You say you have no place else
to go he told Mr.. Trambrrg, but
