NEW YORK — Henry Methison
couldn't find any place to make
love to h!a girl, after be had been
run out of the parks, two movie
houses and the lobby of a hotel,
so he tried as a last resort—a
church.
The doors of the church were
open and so Henry i^nd bis lady

Ways; Soon It Will Lead
in None.
“So far as n well functioning
tax system is concerned, and a
complete program for the provis
ion of its educational Institutions.
North Carolini has it all over
Ceoiria. But aa regards its pco-
,,le its climate, its soil, its gen
ual atmosphere, and the other
lactora entering into the making
„f a community, and state, Geor
gia is, to my mind, ahpad of the
much talked of state of North
Carolina.” This is the way in
which Dr. Andrew M. Soule, presi
dent of the State College of Agri
culture compared his own state
with the one mentioned in a spec
ial interview here on his return
from a trip to North Carolina.
“The people of North Carolina
are .prosperous*" he Isaid, "but
the reason for that, according to
reliable information that has been
given to tne, is that they have not
as yet been so hard hit by the
boll weevil, and in addition to this
they have been receiving large re-'
turns from their tobacco crops.
Jiul already the people there are
beginning to become alarmed and
fear that they too will suffer the
pangs of having the boll weevil as
their guest for a period. And as
surely as the boll weevil strikes
North Carolina, until they have
learned to combat it properly,
there will be more or less hard
limes in that state and the peo
ple will temporarily discontinue
their open showing of good times.

IN RUHR
DUSSELDORF — For the first

in tho Ruhr has remained quiet
for a period of several days.
No killings were reported; no-new
.violences have, so far. come to the
attention of-thb authorities. The
railroads fire running on better
schedules and it is thought that
the quiet which prevails over the
Ruhr “powder barrel.” either is the
calm before the storm, or else Is
to be taken as tha first harbinger

It Is also thought that the situs-

WASHINGTON—A recommenda
tion that the shipping board retire
from business, scrap-all 'nferior
vessels and sol) Its remaining ton
nage to American citizens -without
any restriction” waa the basis of a
program submitted today by a com
mlttoe of the American Steamship
Owners’ association.
The Association further recom
mended that all vessels not sold
after a reasonable lapse of time
should bf scrapped and went on
record aa being of the opinion that
“an American merchant marine in
foreign tsade cannot to built up
through government operation.
Tbe association's committee
which conferred today with board
I officials Is th* first of three slral
lar representative todies Invited to
I present suggestions regarding a
new policy for the board. The oth
er oommittees are to appear later
thttf week.
' „ Tbe views of the steamship Own
eys* association were presented in
the form of a letter signed by Presl
dent Albert G. Smith. It follows:
“Referring to the questions pro
pounded by the shipping bosrd to
the American Steamship Owner’s
association I tog to advlsa you that
it is Impossible for the association
on a week’s notice to answer tho
questions in detail or to formulate
any comprehensive plan with re
spect to the disposition of shipping
board vessels which however is
but one of the many problem* In
volved.
"The failure to provide national
aid placet a moat serious aspect
upon the entire situation with re
spect to American Shipping in
foreign trade and makes the prob
lem one which can to solved If at
all only after a more extended In
vestigation.
Mr. Martin told the teachers
that the biggest need in this coun
ty Is consolidated schools. He de
clared that theree teachers in the
county are holding thirty recita
tions per day. Three schools, Bell
mont, Edwards and Beth Haven
are one-teacher schools.
Demonstrations were given show
ing how the child receives better
training it a teacher can give It
the proper attention while those
in schools where the teacher In
structs seven grades are neglect
ed, not through fault of the teacher
but from inability to give the child
the right attention.*
