IMMORTALITY IN PHONES
Judge Scores Widening Use as Low
erng Moral Standards.

iASHVILLE, n. c., Sept To-. In
the course Of his charge to the grand
jury in superior court, in which he
said that modern conditions were
tending to the downfall of the gov
eminent, Judge Frank Carter declar-
ed the telephone was one of the most
provocative causes of immortality
that it was helping to break down the
morality of womanhood. boys and
girls saying things to each other over
the telephone which they would not
say if they had to speak face to face
The use of the telephone, the court
said, caused people thoughtlessly to
order things from merchants and in
creased their bills 80 to 40 per cent.
Private extravaganza, the judge said,
found expression in the purchase Of
automobiles by those who would not
be able to buy saoe leather if they
paid their debts and private extrava-
gance had led to public extravaganza
which threatened bankruptcy.

WOULD BAR MOTORCYCLE
Nuisance on Roads, Declares Auto
Club Official.

TRENTON, Sept. 16.-William j..
Wood, chairman of the Legislative
Committee of the Associated Auto
Clubs of New Jersey told the Com
mission on Uniform Automobile Laws
here that motorcycles are nuisance
and should not be allowed on the
roads Mr.. Wood said that the mo-
torcycles rushed along the roads with
their cutouts open and in general
made themselves obnoxious.
Mr.. WOOD was in FAVOR of regulat-
ing the speed of automobiles on a
basis of safety rather than fixed law.
He also declared that the greatest
damage to the roads was done by the
big autotrucks. He thought that any
vehicle weighing more than two tons
should be compelled to have at least
six wheels, the rear ones so inches in
diameter, so as to take up 60 per
cent of the load, while the front
wheels should bear the other 40 per
ent.

FOR SUGGESTIONS
From the Wives and Daughters OF
Fifty Thousand
Farmers

David f. Houston, secretary of az
riculture, within the next few days
will address letter to the women
members of $4,000 farm households
throughout the United States re-
questing them to give him informal
ton as to how the department OF
agriculture can best serve the needs
of the farm women.
These letters will be addressed to
Housewives in the Homes of the
Official Crop Correspondents" and
will be sent to the full list Of crop
correspondents for transmission to
the women members of their house
holds With each letter will be sup
piled a return envelope in which the
women can forward their suggestions.
This inquiry results from the re-
ceipt of a letter addressed to the
secretary in which the writer said:
"The farm woman has been the
most neglected factor in the rural
problem and she has been especially
neglected by the national department
of agriculture"
This letter was written not by a
woman but by a broad-minded man
so thoroughly in touch with the az
ricultural and domestic needs of the
country that his opinions have great
weight Following the receipt OF this
letter, the secretary determined that
the best way for the department TO
learn how to give these women the
fullest possible aid and service which
their important place in agricultural
production warrants, was to write to
the women themselves and ask them
to make their own suggestions.
In the letter these women are in
vited to give individual answers to
the letter or to discuss the matter in
their church societies or womens or
CARNATIONS and submit answers rep
resenting the combined opinions OF
the women of their entire communi-
ties The answers are requested not
later than November 18th and this
date is set because it will give the
women time after harvest to consider
the matter aud discuss it with their
women neighbors,
This letter will 90 to about twenty
leading farms In each Of the twenty
eight hundred counties Of the United
States Their answers, it is expect
ed, will represent the views and OF
inions Of upwards of 100000 farm wo-
men, These answers will be careful
ly considered by the specialists OF
the department having to do with
that branch Of agricultural activity.

SEASON OF FoGS AT HAND
AND ENGINEERS UNHAPPY
Mists Which Enshroud Valleys Con
stitute Menace to Safe oper-
ation of Trains.

The season of heavy fogs common
to this region in the fall is at hand
and locomotive engineers are unhap.
Ply accordingly for they are dis.
tinct menace to safety of train oper-
alton.
There has never been found a way
TO guard against trouble in a heavy
fog with absolute certainty. Dark
ness presents no obstacles. for the
blacker the night the brighter the
signal lights burn. But the most pow
erful light known will not penetrate
dense fog more than a few feet,
and as a consequence, railroad men
literally have to feel their way along
through these fogs.
Even though an engineer may take
the utmost precautions in a fog he
never knows when some one else may
be little careless, with the result
that he meets with accident when he
has the least right to expect It.
Every once in a while there is a
succession of these dense fogs in
this section, lasting from three days
to a week, or more, and they prove
very trying on the nerves of the rail
road men.
AS testimonial to the extraordin-
airy care taken by railroaders and
their Conscientious effort to put safe.
ty first nothing could be stronger
than the fact that not an accident
OF any kind has occurred in the val
eys during the week or more that
these fogs have wrapped it in a
mantle so impervious that the keen
est eyes could see but a few feet
