The Hardware |Clerk'SSummer
By Ebba WiGfuss

This thing began at c New England seashore resort . year ago last sum- Mer.
 The young man concerned in the case was from and is of New York. So was and Is the girl.
 The young fellow at that time had . Job in a New York hardware store. He vas hustling, alert salesman, and 6 pretty gooo haldshaker, and got $20 week by way of salary.
 When he reached the New England seashore resort, however, he didn't look like any $20 a week hardware clerk. On the contrary he looked like several different shades of prompt money.
 He had a number of very flossy pairs of white duck trousers. bunch of outing shirts that were, as he him self well knew and said. all the bon bons, and ether attractive wardrobe features.
 In addition he possessed winning ways.
 When he left for the resort he had two weeks of with pay, a little bank wad in his pocket and a determine. ton to have a hull heap of c good time for himself and his money while he was away from III ol' New York.
 The hotel was. as he found when, he got there, filtered, cluttered, loaded up. damned, stuffed and packed to the gun1s with oodles and slews and slath. CTS of pretty girls. Peaches, all of them. Lockers, every one of them. They were all beautiful enough to cause a young hardware clerk on two weeks leave of absence to suffer at least momentarily from the blind stag gers at the first sight of 'em.
 And to match this tremendous as- sortment of pretty girls scattered all over and around the seashore hotel, there were just four male persons. The hardware clerk didn't have to be even a little bit conceited to discern that he had the other three male persons backed of the boards in every irnagi nable respect.
 He could see that they wouldn't do at all. The girls had been tolerating 'sm around, but the clerk saw right

 When Mir Taft made this statement he must have known that it was un- true. As for the wool schedule. he knew that the rates were not higher in the Dingley law than in the Payne Aldrieh law. for right after signing the latter bill did he not t>denounce its wool rates as 'indefensible?" And. as for the cotton rates of the Payne bill, he knew they were just as ''indefensible" as the wool rates. for at the time he made this statement in Boston he had the tariff boards report on cotton be fore him

Holes In shIps and Compressed Ar.
 A method of rendering vessels un- sinkable by means of compressed air. applied in such a manner as to plug or shut of the thrush of water through holes in the bottom or sides of the hull, was recently tested out on the battleship North Carolina, and Is described in Popular Mechanics Maga- zine.
 The important feature of the meth cd of applying the compressed air to prevent water from entering the yes. sel through holes is the graduated pressure of air exerted in the com partments surrounding the punctured compartment.
 If 8 vessel has draft of, say, 30 feet, the application of sufficient pres sure to keep the water from entering a hole near the bottom of the hull would subject tho upper decks to a very considerable pressure which might cause bad strain. When, how. ever, a hole Is punctured in the lower portion of the hull, and the air pres. sure required by the hydrostatic pres. sure Is exerted to keep the water out, the compartments immediately above and around the punctured compart- ment are reinforced by a lighter air pressure, and these compartments are in turn supported by applying q still lighter pressure to the next sur. rounding compartments. This, 1t Is claimed, prevents the straining or buckling of decks. bulkheads. etc.

BEING ENJOYED
BY BOY SCOUTS
LETTER FROM PARTY CAMPING
ON ELEVEN MILE CREEK SAYS
BOYS ARE HAPPY AND ARE EN-
JoYING CAMP LIFE.

We are at camp and everybody is
happy. For weeks we boys have
looked forward to the time when this
moment would be real. Our six sleep
ing tents are up. all in row. facing
the swimming hole, which is the fresh
water creek called Eleven Mile" In
front of our tents is the fiagpole, hav-
ing the honor of floating to the breeze
old Glory and the scout emblem, the
feur de- lis. Back of the living row.
in our back yard Is the dining room, a
large, roomy place, covered with a
great foresail taken from one OF the
larger fishing smacks that ply in and
out of our port. Nearby is the kitch-
en-, made up of the pantry tent and
cook tent, the whole establishment
presided over by old Peter Scruggs, the
best camp cook in the country.
AS this is written, the odor of bacon
and eggs, being friend in together,
floats into my tent and bids me hurry
up with my 'scribing' so, with pol

big tent
Oh, yes, that reminds me! We had
some time putting up our city.
Through some mistake the tent poles
were left in town and after destroying
a small forest we got enough sapltngs
to do. Gee, after walking twelve miles
working like this came hard! That
means more supper!
like to have forgotten! The Mus
cogee Boy Scouts have come into
camp. This afternoon four of them
came over and are joining US in our
weeks outing. We are mighty glad
to have them.
Went in bathing this morning and
ate some watermelon. Both were fine.
We have twenty five boys in camp
with four camp leaders. Each leader
has tent and we boys are divided
into four squads and each squad is
given a leader. We will have to be
good.
Pete has called supper" I must
stop right now. Everybody is well and
happy. Come to see US Friday.

cords in the region under discussion.
II this Is rue and there seems no
reason to doubt it, the timber is being
cut in the region at least twice as fast
as it is growing. According to the
above figures, and not including the
cut for firewood, here is only enough
standing timber to last about eleven
years at the present rate Of cutting,
and, unless steps are taken to protect
the forests and SO increase the rate OF
growth, the forests Of the Piedmont
region will Dol be unable to supply
any but a very small amount Of the
timber required by our woodworking
industries.

How Canada Prevents Railroad Fires
Because OF the growing interest in

ton looking to the prevention Of rail-
road fires will be passed at the coming
session OF the Legislature, a glimpse
at Canada's recently enacted reguia-
tons governing railroads will be OF
interest to North Carolina readers.
In considering this subject, Parlia-
ment decided that. direct legislation
might be unsatisfactory and difficult
to enforce, so the Railroad Commits
sion, which was already in existence,
was empowered to make regulations
co"nelling the railway companies to
protect their lines and to install an
efficient system Of fire protection.
Under this law, which it will be
seen puts the whole burden OF fire
prevention on the railroads, the Rail-
road Commission has recently issued
an order to every railway subject to
the legislative authority Of the Parlta-
ment Of Canada, Under construction
or being operated by steam," to put in
force the following measures: =
!. Every locomotive shall be fitted
and be kept fitted with netting mesh
OF a size and quality described in the
order, in such a position that it shall
extend completely owe the opening
through which the smoke ascends.
z. The opening OF the ash pans on
every locomotive engine shall be COW
cred with heavy sheet iron hampers
or with screen netting dampers.
3. Overflow pipes shall be put into
the front and back part Of ash pans
and used from April 1st to Novem-
Der LIST, for wetting the ash pans.
4. Every railway shall nro-
vide inspectors, to examine, at least
once a week. the nettings, dead plates.
ash pans, hampers slides and any
other fire protective appliances, ana
to keep a record of every inspection.
which record shall be open for the
inspection of the chief free inspec-
tor or other authorized officer of the
government.
5. No employee shall injure any OF
the fire protection appliances used on
any engine.
6. Every railway shaI

The Cluthe Automatic Massaging Truss is SO ut

it has received eighteen separate patents.
1t provides the only way ever discovered for over
