ABOLITION OF
HOTEL COMMISSION
BILL IS PROPOSED
(BY HERBERT FELKEL.)
Tallahassee.. May 24. Senator Sin
gletary attempted today to pass a bill
abolishing the hotel commission and
putting the inspection of hotels under
the board of health, but failed to get
the matter to . a vote. However, be
fore adjournment was t.-.ken he suc
ceeded in making the original bill, his.
substitute and the Roland substitute
for the substitute a special order for
tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock.
He called up the original bill and sub
stituted in its place the one to abolish
the state hotel inspector and his of
fice. The Roland substitute for that
would leave the commission in' tact
but increase the fees, it was stated,
fixing the salary of the commissioner
at $2,500 a year, that" official to be p
polnted as "how by the governor.
During the discussion it was stated
that the fees collected Were not pay
ing the expenses
of the department
When Senator Mathis moved to com
mit" the bills, Senator Singletary said i prof essdr . of chemistry at Northwest-
Washington, May 24. At the educa
tional exposition,-Illustrating the war
time and reconstruction activities of
the department of the Interior, now
being held there- is being shown un
der guar! a sample of the most ter
rible super-poison gas known, the dis
covery of Prof. W.- Lee Iewis, while
In the employ of the bureau of mines
at its American University labora
tories. ' ; -
This gas, formerly called "Lewis
ite," late known , as "Methyl," be
cause the latter name meant nothing
t -ocurious persons, was being man
ufactured by the war department at
the rate of ten tons a day when the
armistice was signed,
The gas Is being variously describ
ed as "the climax of the country's
achievements in the lethal arts," and
as "the most terrible Instrument o"
manslaughter ever conceived. The
department itself declares that It la
the most deadly of all war s-ase,
much more deadly than mustard gas,
which heretofore was known by chem
ists as "the king of poison gases."
It is. said that ten airplane loads of
"Methyl" would I have been sufficient
to destroy all life in Berlin, if such
extreme measures had been necessary.
and that a single day's output would
have been sufficient to snuff out the
four million human lives on the Is
land of Manhattan.
This gas was not only discovered
by Prof. Lewis, "but was also devel
oped; by him. to a point where it was
ready for production at the American
University while those laboratories
were still under the control of the
bureau of mines, one of the organiza
tions of the department' of the In
terior. When this work was first
taken up by the bureau In behalf of
the military authorities. Prof. Lewis
was called from his civilian duties as
that would be equivalent to killing his
bill to abolish the office because
it would mean the death of all new
legislation on the subject as far as
this session was concerned. The chair
ruled that Senator Roland's substitute
for the substitute would be out of order
but suggested that.it might be offered
as an amendment, the Singletary bill
being struck out from the enacting
clause down and the substitute insert
ed in lieu thereof. Such an amendment
was being prepared when the motion
to make the entire matter a special
order was put and prevailed.

the request of the bureau was commis
sioned as captain in the ordrumce
department - and asisgned -to the gas
warfare service of the bureau ' of
mines. While acting in this capacity
Prof. Lewis discovered and developed
the gas,, and eighteen days after thd
gas work of the bureau of mines
was transferred to the Jurisdiction of
the war department an eleven-acre
plant for its manufacture was started
near Cleveland, Ohio, where the work
was conducted under the strictest mil
itary secrecy. .This plant, which was
dubbed by the workmen the "mouse
trap" because, in order to prevent the
leakage of information, it was under
stood that the men who entered would
nto leave until the war was over, was
in operation within a miraculously
short time, and plans were made r by
the war department to have 3,000 tons
of this most diabolitical gas at the
American front by March 1, 1919.
When the armistice came the plant
was well ahead of its production
schedule, but "the opportunity had not
come for the use of the gas at the bat
tle front. Thus the Germans did not
have 'a chance to obtain a first-hand
experience with this most frightful
of all poison gases, of which it Is
said that a single drop on the hand
will penetrate to the blood . and soon
reach the heart, when it kills the vic
tim in great agony. It is declared
that among the 800 men at the plant
there was not one fatality, this im
munity being largely due to the pro
viding of all employes with gas masks,
protective clothing and" extreme pre
cauttons in operation.

TALKS ABOUT
ffiOT FAIRS
I fiTE RESTING AND VALUABLE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN
-ARTICLE BY EXPERIMENT STA
TIS5N EXPERT. .-.-
Information In regard to county
fairs and how to make them success
ful, which will be of Interest and
value to readers in all countUs plan
ning fairs next fall, as Is the case in
Escambia, Is contained In an article
sent to the Journal by Prof. John
M. Scott, vice president of the Ex
periment Station, University of Flor
ida Prof. Scott says:
"What is the obJe of a county
fair? What benefits are derived from
it? Who is responsible for making
the county fair a success?
"The object of a county fair should
be educational to the largest degree
possible. This can be ccomplishea by
having exhibits of the best crops and
of the best livestock in the county,
along with some Information, such as
the name and variety of the crop
shown, how many bushels per acre was
grown and the expense of growing
the crop, Including the amount and
analysis of the fertilizer.
'This will bring before the people
of the different sections the best crops
that are being grown, . and will be a
help to others in growing these crops.
With - exhibits of livestock, the breed,
age and weight should - be given.' It
it is a dairy cow, give the gallons
or pounds of milk produced in the
year, and the pounds of butter made.
It would be Interesting to 'state the
kinds of feed and the amount given a
day. :
"Exhibits must be made attractive
so that people will take time to stop
and examine them thoroughly. Looks
count for a great deal in exhibits, as
well as in other things. The writer
has seen many good exhibits affairs
that were not appreciated Simply be
cause they were not arranged in an
attractive manner. Other exhibits that
were not so good, but arranged more
attractively received more recognition.
, "In exhibiting livestock it is abso
lutely necessary to have the animals
in good condition if you wish to make
a good showing. They should receive
a little extra feed and care for 60
days before they are put on exhibi
tion, and should be in good flesh.
"It will be necessary to use shears
or clippers to remove any long hair
around the horns and ears of the cat
tle, and especially inside the ears, ut-ten-time
the clipping of long hair on
the rump and tail will . greatly im
prove the apearance of the animals.
The shearing and clipping must be
done with considerable care so as not
to disfigure the anlaml. Practically
the same treatment should be given
the horses and mules. This preparation
should be done at least a month before
the animals are put on exhibit. Don't
be afraid to use soap and water. See
that the skin is in good condition. Use
the curry-comb freely, ; and also a
good brush. See that the hair is bright
and shiny. The horns of the cattle
should be polished. This can best be
done by the use of sandpaper or em
ery paper, which will take off the
rough edges. After these rough edges
are taken off, polish with a woolen
cloth, and a little oil applied to the
cloth will be found helpful. The hoofs
of both the cattle and horses should
have attention. See to it . that the
hoofs are trimmed and clean. Horses,
mules and cattle when shown as indi
viduals should be broken to the halte
so that they can be shown to better
advantage.
' Plan Ahead for Exhibits.
"Getting exhibits is usually a diffi
cult problem. This is not because the
farmers have any objection to exhibit
ing material, but beacuse they do not
have the material. To have an abun
dance of good material for exhibits
means that plans for. having it. must
be made in advance of the planting
season. The same Is true with live
stock. -The cows and .sows must be
bred at the proper time so that th
calves and pigs will be the proper ags ,
to enter in the various classes.
The Individual's Responsibility.
"A successful county fair should"
have exhibits from all sections of the
county. If all sections of the county
are not represented It is not truly
a county fair. If all sections of the
county are represented, as they shoulj
be, it means a good deal of individual
responsibility. It means that some
one must be responsible for exhibit
fro meach section of the county. Are
you willing to take this responsibility?
There is no reason why you should
not take that responsibility and see to
it that there is a creditable exhibit
at the next county fair. . .
Community Responsibility.
"In addition to the Individual re
sponsibility, there Is a pertain amount
of community responsibility. in addi
tion to individual farm exhibits, there
should be community exhibits. There
Is no good reason why the next coun
ty fair should not have from ten to
a dosen community exhibits. To get
these community exhibits there must
be cooperation of Individuals in each
community. The farmers and stock
men should get together four or five
months In advance of the fair and de
cide on what they will exhibit. Then
again some one must be responsible
for getting the exhibits ready to send
t the fair and see that it Is arranged
properly after it arrives.
"What better advertising can. anv
community get than can be gotten as
a result of a good exhibit
Remuneration. '
1fae county fair is J not a money
making Institution. If the exhibitor
puts his exhibits in the best possible
condition to show, the prizes than he
may take will not always pay for his

monetary return from prizes, but the
greatest returns will be the good word
spoken of the individual farm or com
munity. This is worth more to a farm
or community than any direct money
return that can be expected in the
way of prizes.
"New settlers are looking for loca
tions in just such communities. These
community exhibits will attract' -i
larger number of the right kind of
settlers than a carload of literature.''
