Q.—ls there really any difference
in batteries?
A.—Yes, but there are really only
two kinds of batteries. Thos\e with
wood seperators and those with
Threaded Rubber Insulation.
Q-—ls Threaded Rubber Insulation
the only feature that puts the Willard
Threaded Rubber Battery ahead of
ordinary automobile battery?
A—By no means.. The Willard
Threaded Rubber Battery has all
the improvements that have grown
out of Willard’s years of specializa
tion in building starting lighting and
ignition batteries. Ask us about it.

The Story of

-13 &/%«‘ 4/§ j Propriately
“m’ fi‘ S/ named Ra-
X D, leigh, for it
S was Sir Wal
ter Raleigh who was respon
sible for North Carolina’s first
settlement. It was in 1584 that
Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to piant
an English colony in America,
and the expeditions which he
sent established a little colony
on Roanoke island. There in
1587 was born the first Ameri
can child of English parents.
She was named Virginia Dare,
after the virgin queen. This col
ony, due to England’s war with
Spain, could not be properly sup
ported, and after a few years
perished. It was not until over
a century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by a large
company of Huguenots from
France and a greater number of
Germans from the Palatinate,
founded the first North Carolina
town of Newburn in 1710. By
the time of the Revolution the
population in North Carolina
had increased to such an extent,
with an influx of Secotch-Irish
and Scotch Highlanders who
settled chiefly in the western
counties, that it ranked fourth
among the original thirteen col
onies. Today its population en
titles it to twelve electoral votes
for president. In area it stands
about half way among the states
with 52,426 square miles. North
Carolina was the twelfth state
to adopt the Constitution, the
formal ratification taking place
in November, 1789. The deriva
tion of the name Carolina, as in
the case of South Carolina, came.
from the Latin Carolus, mean
ing Charles, and was given orig
inally in honor of King Charles
IX of France and retained by
King Charles II of England.
North Carolina is also known
as the Old North state.

Harvard Issues First
Dictionary Of Labor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.,, April 25
What is probably the first dictionary
of labor terms as used by organized
lalfor ever published has just been
put out by the Harvard Bureau of
Business Research. The object of this
bulletin is to provide a means of les
sening the verbal misundenstandings
which often cause or prolong disputes
betwen employers and employees.
The bulletin contains definitions
from the labor stanapoint of several
hundred terms, many of which, such
as “open shop”, “collective bargain
ing” and “union shop” are frequently
used with different yneanings by par
ties to labor controversies.
This effort to define what labor men
niean when they use terms has been
made for the purpose of ecnabling
manufacturers qnd cmployers to se
curc a better understanding of the
point of view of their men.
The bulletin is prepared primarily
for employers, says Professor M. T.
Copeland, because many terms are
the subject of controversy, and the
need was felt of a means by which
the employer might more quickly find
out what the employe and particular
ly the organized employe, means
when he uses a term often used by
the employer in another sense.
“Collective Bargaining” Defined
An “open shop” is thus defined
from the labor point of view as “a
plant in which union and non-union
labor is employed without discrimina
tion,” while “collecetve bargaining,”
the definition of which was a subject
of controversy at the Industrial Con
ference at Washington, f{s said to
mean “the negotiation of a trade
agreement between one or more em
ployers and one or more groups of
employes acting eollectively through
representatives chosen by the respec
tive parties.” %
The following explanatory state
ment appears along with the defini
tion of “collective bargaining.” “The
term collective bargaining occasional
ly is applied to negotiations between
an employer and representatives of
the employees in his plant who are
organized, usually under a shop com
mittee system, with no outside affili
ations. To labor union members the‘
‘term is applied only to negotiations
between one or more employers and
representatives of a local or national
labor unions who may or may not be
employed in the plant effected.”

Don’tßisk Neglect
T .
Don’t neglect a constant backache,
sharp, darting pains or urinary dis
orders. The danger of dropsy or
Bright's disease is too serious to ig
nore. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills as
have your friends and neighbors. Ask
your neighbor. A Fitzgerald case.
Mrs. H, R. Peavy, R. F. D. No. 6,
says; “I was in bad shape with my
kidneys and just about able to keep
up. I suffered from dizziness and
black spots floated before my eyes.
My kidneys acted irregularly and my
back was in terrible shape. There
was a dull ache in the small of my
back and, at times, a sharp pain shot
through it. This is the condition I
was n when I began taking Doan’s
Kidney Pills.
One box of Doan’s cured me, This
was several years ago and since then
I have only had to take Doas’s a few
times. I believe Doan’s will help oth
ers. They are the best kidney reme
dy I have ever taken.”
NEARLY FOUR YEARS LATER
Mrs. Peavy said: “I seldom have any
trouble now, but if I have the least
sign of kidney complaint, Doan’s Kid
ney Pills never fail to do the work.
‘Doan’s are certainly a good kidney
remedy. <

Resolutions of Convention Assure
Moral Support to Strikers
ATLANTA, April 25.—At the ses
sion of the Georgia Federation of
Labor in Atlanta last week resolu
tions were passed extending cordial
moral support of Georgia labor to
the A, B. & A. strikers and con
demning the receiver for = so-called
defiance of law.
The resolutions follow:
“Whereas, the facts show that the
receiver, in wviolation of the transpor
tation act of 1920, and the Newlands
act of 1913, resorted to unlawful
‘methods in reducing the wages of
the employees and whereas: |
“Freight rates, passenger tariffs,‘
‘and sleeping car rates were exorbi
?tantly increased on the pretext thatl
such increases were necessary in
order to pay wages awarded by the
United States railway labor board
last May, and whereas:
“We find that the men and women
who withdrew from the service
have conducted the ssue in an order
ly and lawful manner under great
‘provocation, and indignities imposed |
‘upon them by persons representing
‘themiselves as public officers and.
’thosc officially connected with the
.railroad, and their attitude since
leaving the service shouid commend
them to all law abiding citizens.
“Therefore, be it resolved by the
Georgia Federation of Labor, rep
resenting men and women who be
lieve in lawful, orderly, procedure,
that we condemn the arbitrary ac
tion of the receiver of the railway,
in reducing the wages in defiance of
the law which he lobbied for in order
to influence its passage by Congress
“And be it further resolved ,that
this assembly go on record as being
in sympathy with the men and wom
en who in the exercise of their lawful
right, withdrew from the service of
the A, B. & A. Railroad, and extend
to them our moral support.
