BECAUSE REGISTRATION DAY
COMES ON HEBREW SABBATH.—
Every young man in Americus who
has reached the age of twenty-one
years since the sth day of last June
must register tomorrow for military
duty under the terms of the selective
service act. There are a number of
these in Americus, as well as other
parts of the country, and the local
board, of which E. A. Nesbit is secre
tary and W. T. Maynard chairman,
have made arrangements for expedi
ting the registration of all who should
,r
register.
The offices of the local board,
therefore remain open from 8 a. m.
to 9 p. m. for the accommodation of
registrants who may be engaged at
their work during a greater part of
the day. Severe penalties are attach
ed to any failure to register, and ev
ery man who attained his majority
since June sth last must register,
without regard to his physical con
dition. Those ‘who are sick must
send registration cards to the office
of the local board, and those who are
away from home, must mail their
cards in time for these to reach the
local board here not later than 9
o'clock tonight.
The registration day coming upon
Saturday, the adjutant general today
promulgated a special order reliev
ing Jewish registrants of the neces
sity of registering tomorrow, and in
stead they will be permitted to reg
ister Monday. The exception in their
cases is made because of Sabbath be
ing observed as a holy day by Ortho
dox Jews.
AFTER ILLNESS ,
ZIRON IRON TONIC
When Your System Needs Strength, After a
Sick Spell, Try Zlron
Your blood must have iron to give
your body strength. Lack of iron
makes many people pale, weak and
languid. To put iron into your blood,
take Ziron Iron Tonic. Especially af
ter a severe illness do you need Ziron
to bring back appetite and build up
weakened vitality.
J. E. Clifton, of R. F. D. 3, Lyons,
Ga., writes: “Last summer I had ty
phoid fever and had hemorrhages of
the bowels and my health was wretch
ed. I seemed to be unable to get my
strength back. I had no appetite, I
had no energy, I didn't think I was
ever going to get well. My knees were
weak, my flesh felt clammy, I was in
a pretty bad condition. I heard of
Ziron and what a good tonic and
strengthener it was, and I sent for ft
at once. It helped me. I began to
Improve and soon felt much better and
Stronger.”
All druggists sell or can get Ziron
for you. Get a bottle today. It is
guaranteed.

Sffi COMMITTEE
PART OF BLAME FOR MUDDLE IN
PRODUCTION OF PLANTS IS
PLACED UPON CONGRESS IN RE
PORT.
WASHINGTON, D. U., August 23.
The long awaited report of the sen
ate militray investigating aircraft
production was submitted yesterday,
with a scathing arraignment of de
lays in the early days of the war, a
review of improved conditions and
recommendations for the creation of
a new separate department of avia
tion with a cabinet officer at its
head.
Failure to adopt successful foreign
airplanes and motors waste of mil
lions of dollars of aircraft appropria
tions, dominance of the airplane pro
gram by unexperienced automobile
manufacturers, “unsystematic and in
effective” organization and excessive
profits to manufacturers, are among;
criticisms made by the subcommit
tee, of which Senator Thomas, of
Colorado, was chairman.
Disclaiming wholesale condemna
tion o fthe aircraft program, the sub
committee praised much that has
been accomplished and predicted "we
are approaching a period when quan
tity production of planes soon may
be hoped for.” The report is imper-
I
sonal and says all questions of
charges of personal dishonesty or of
ficial corruption are left to the de
partment of justice’s inquiry, con
ducted by Charles E. Hughes.
Stating that much can be said “in
extenuation of disappointments . . .
in aircraft production,” the commit
tee's long report details delays and
failures, including transportation to
General Pershing of defective ma
chines during more than a year's ef
forts to secure domination of the air
of the fighting front.
While condemning chiefly failure’
under the former aircraft production ■
hoard and signal corps control, and j
noting great improvements since
John T>. Ryan and General
Kenly were placed in* charge of the
production and military branches,
the committee strongly urges) “one
man control” in future. Pavt of the
blame for poor organization at the
start is assigned t o cognress. t
