FRIDAY EVENING, that task Is finished President Wil son will Issue a proclamation de claring that until the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution be comes operative in January next the sale of beer and light wines at least can be carried on in all the States that were "wet" prior to July 1. It is also rumored that the Presi dent may go so far as to claim to possess the authority to inctude the sale of whisky and gin during the practically three months between the date of actual demoblization and the date when the national prohibition amendment goes into effect through out the country. Strong representations have been made to him that in view of the tact that the banks have so much money loaned on strong liquors that were in government bonded warehouses, (and the owners have not had sufficient time in which to dispose of their holding and meet their financial ob ligations, it would be an act of ius- I tlce. if the President is warranted, I in going further in his proclamaiion, [ in the event he finds that he has that I authority. j Indications are that the Senate Judiciary Committee will not stand for some of the more drastic provisions carried in the House prohibition en forcement bill, but that does not sig nify that they will not be voted into the measure when the bill reaches the Senate chamber. Broadly speaking. Senators, regardless of party affiliation, are likely to favor as drastic legislation as the House members put through. JENNINGS SUSPENDED By Associated Press. Boston, Aug. 1. Notice of his indefinite suspension was received by Manager Hugh Jennings, of the Detroit Americans, before the Tigers left this city for New York last night. This action by President Johnson, of the American League was a re | suit of an argument between Jen | nings and Umpire Moriarity, during the double header here, Wednesday.

I.—A good, first class hotel will be a profitable invest ment, not only for the owners but for the city as a whole. "It will not diminish the amount of business that will come to the other hotels of the city. "It will bring conventions to the Ncity and these benefit others besides the hotel keepers. "Altoona has an ideal location as a center for tourists and needs only a hotel of this character to draw the motorists here. "Aside from all other considera tions, civic pride should lead to the erection of a good hotel in Altoona. "There are many advantages in having a hotel conducted by an or ganization rather than by an indi vidual." These were some of the salient points brought out by Horace Wig gins. manager of tlie Penn-Harris Hotel in Harrisburg, in an address at noon yesterday before the directors, (team captains and others interested i in the new hotel project. I Mr. Wiggins was introduced by F. Woods Beckman, president of the Blair Hotel Company, the company that is back of the project, and ho spoke from his own experience, ex tending over a period of a number of years as a hotel manager. I Mr. Wiggins began his address by saying that when one lias guests at his home he gives them the best he 'has and there should be the same con jsideratlon shown by the eity as a w hole toward those who are its guests lrom time to time. He said that Altoona has grown I away from her present hotel facilities and it. is time to build for present and future needs. He said that the plans lof the promoters would in no respect disparage the existing hotels, for in Harrisburg, all the otner hotels have done as well or better since the Penn -1 Harris was opened. HAimiSBURG TELEGRAPH HOW TO TELL FRESH EGGS State Department of Agricul ture Divides This Food Into Four Classes For the benefit of housewives and others, eggs are divided into four classes with an explanation of how to tell fresh from old eggs by the State Department of Agriculture. James Foust, Director of the Bu reau of Foods, Department of Agri culture, issues the following state- I inent: j There are four classes of eggs— First—A "fresh egg" is one that is j understood to have the following j qualities: Its white is capable of | whipping well: in cooking it can be satisfactorily poached or soft boil led; it has not absorbed foreign dis j agreeable odors; its embryo' shall not have developed appreciably. The yolk should be fairly stiff and well rounded and the white should not be watery, and the chalaza shall be well defined. Second—Cold storage eggs must be sold in accordance with the cold storage law and must be repre sented and labeled "cold storage eggs." Third —Eggs kept for a period of time by the water glass, lime or other methods that cannot be classed as "fresh eggs" but are edible, wholesome and suitable for all food purposes except such as require "fresh eggs." Fourth—Eggs that are decayed, partly decayed, or decomposed and unfit for food purposes, have a com mercial value for tanning leather such as is used in the manufacture of gloves. Rotten eggs must be promptly denatured with kerosene oil, and when opened must be placed in a container painted a bright red color. It is unlawful to open rotten eggs and remove the content from the shell in establish ments where food products are pre pared or manufactured, or to open | rotten eggs in an establishment where good eggs are opened for food purposes. Roads Marked For Trips to Halifax The State Highway Department to-day received a great number of i inquiries as to whether there are I detours on the road between Harris i burg and Halifax. From the* number |of inquiries received it is apparent j that scores of Harrisburg autonio bilists will go to Halifax to-morrow to attend that town's Welcome Home Celebration for soldiers and sailors. There are no detours between Har risburg and Halifax. It is not pos sible for motorists to use the river roud but they will find the highway on the west shore in far better con dition than it has been this sum mer. The proper route from Harris burg, is that which takes the motor ists across either the Market street or Walnut street bridge: thence through West Fairview, Marysville and Duncannon to the Clark's Ferry bridge. Crossing this bridge, the motorists turn to the left and follow the straight road to Halifax. The route sheets showing this thorough fare in detail may be obtained from the attendants at the Market street bridge. The State Highway Department I has had a large crew ot men at work on the highway in the vicinity of Coveallen and Perdix, for the last two weeks and conditions along that thoroughfare are very greatly ini- Bolshevists Attack Jap Troop Train • Tokio, Aug I.—An official commu niquc jhfcued by the War Department l says that a Bolshevik attack on a Japanese troop train near Nieholisk htberin, recently, caused a loss to the !

A climax in the series of White House inter views with Republican Senators was reached when Senator Fernald frankly told the President that the League of Nations covenant was lacking in Americanism, and that this particular shortcoming in the product of the Paris conference was the real reason behind all the Re publican opposition. The conversation with the Maine Senator marked the first actual clash between the President and the op position. Heretofore all the amen ities have been preserved, and while in no case productive of a convers ion or even the shadow of a turning on the part of members of the G. O. P., the calls at the White House proceeded along lines of tolerance. It remained for the Down Easter to break the rule and speak his mind with perhaps moro fervor than kind liness. The greeting between the Presi dent and Senator Fernald was of the most cordial character. Both gen tlemen were delighted at the oppor tunity for an interchange of views, they said. But Senator Fernald plunged right into the interview with a statement to the President that although he was honored at the opportunity for a chat and would be glad to talk with the President as to the experience of himself and his entourage at Paris and in Europe generally, and would be pleased to hear the President's views, he was not in an attitude of mind to be convinced of the falsity of his posi tion as* to the necessity for vital reservations tantamount to amend ments to the league covenant. 42 Others Behind Him "And furthermore, Mr. President," continued Senator Fernald, "this position of mine is that of no less than forty-two other members, of the Senate." The President looked a bit shocked at the frankness of Mr. Fernald, but said he had hoped to he able to convey some information to him which might make clearer the situation and more understand able the position which the Admin istration had taken with regard to amendatory action. Mr. Fernald said that that would be useless. Ho said he appreciated the President's desire for the clari fication of councils, but that he had been applying himself assiduously to the closest sort of study of the sit uation for months. He had perused with the greatest care every docu ment and speech in and out of the j Senate dealing with the situation. Ho had studied the peace pact and the league covenant and had neg lected nothing in the matter of scru tinizing every word the President himself had written or uttered on the subject. He went on to say that if at any time doubts arose in his mind or that he came to feel that information from the President was essential to him he would not hesi tate to seek an engagement at the White House for a further inter view. Seemingly the President \yas dis pleased at the apparent fixed atti- Senator Fernald. He told him that he had assumed there were at least sixty men in the Senate who took a world view of the present crisis in affairs. "That is exactly what at least nfica "is 6 " t" th f Senat e do take," re plied Senator Fernald, "but their ) V ;°f' d . v l e t W t includes in its scope the United States of America." , „ President terminated the in terview almost immediately.
