Washington, d. c.. June 12.-Dr.
Bernhard Dernburg, who sailed today
from New York enroute to Germany,
carried with him a letter from the
State Department certifying his iden-
tity. Assurances from the allies that
he would not be molested had been
given; but it was thought best to pro-
vide him with papers declaring his
identity in order that there might be
no mistake and the State Department
complied with the request of German
officials here.

NOT SO HOT YESTERDAY
Temperature Only Ninety. But Warm
Weather Appears On The Way.

< wasn't So mighty hot yesterday,
only ninety in the shade, but the
quick shift from early spring wealth
er 10 the rea. summer article was
much felt in Raleigh. The humidity
yesterday was not unusual. as evi-
dcnced 10y the absence of clouds.
However, the western part of the
state received thunder showers last
night and the rain area may reach
Raleigh today. A higher temper
ature but accompanied by a good
breeze, is expected today by the local
weather bureau. Tomorrow is expect
ed to be still warmer and may reach
a real midsummer heat.

positively after the sinking OF the

the chief interest this year will lie in
the sudden coming into prominence
OF the far western golfers and the
possibility of the greatest prize OF the
American golf world going to the t7a-
ciflc coast has stirred up the golting
public.
favorItes this year, for there are tiVe
or six of the amateurs who figure bet
ter than even with the professional
contingent.
Walter Hagen; who has shown him
self not only improved. but one OF the
steady-nerved golfers OF America, prob
ably will be the. first choice. He was
lucky to win the championship last
year: indeed, never would have won 1t
but for the fact there are no side traps
or bunkers on the Midlothian course
and Hagen escaped the penalty OF his
pulling wood shots.
ouimet, Travers and Evans will, Of
course, be the van of the amateurs.
Both Ouimet and Evans are pointing
their games to reach the highest per-
lection for the open.
Harry Davis, winner Of the Panama

San Francisco reputation. Chick
Evans tells me Davis is one of the
golfng marvels of the day-and in a
class with ouimet and Travers.
Heinrich Schmidt, too, has reap
peared as star. after brief eclipse,
accustomed by illness.
The majority of the leading candi-
lates for the open have been on the
coast, and ought to be figured two
weeks at least ahead Of the fasteners

vided they do not overgolf themselves
in the many tournaments arranged for
them in the coast cities.

A very fair team could be composed
OF the youngsters who have won them
selves regular positions in the big
leagues this season. Pipp OF the YAM
KEGS surely could cover first accept
ably, and there are few better short
stops than Bancroft of the Phillies.
Young of the Tigers could be placed
at second, and Gerber OF the Pirates at
third. Baird, another Pirate, Felch of
the White Sox and Killlfer of the Reds
would make up an outfield. With
Smith of the Giants catching and Dell
OF Brooklyn pitching, this aggregation
should put up a pleasant scrap.
Clarence Rowland of the White SoN
might be drafted as manager. They'd
be there, all right, but 1t is Just posi-
BILE that McGraw would be willing to
go after them with team of real vet
erans.s
Sam Crawford, for instance. has Of
ten shown ability as a first-sacker, La
joie, Wagner and Bobby Byrne would
complete fair infield. Leach, Schultz
and Hartzell could guard the outer
works, and Mathewson and Bresnahan
would be a. pretty! fair- battery. This
collection could at least give the kids
something to talk about after the
smoke cleared away.

THE WOODEN-LEGGED. - Ad-
dressing the Kansas editors on the
subject, Wooden Legs" F. L. Van
degrift said that every man who has
a wooden leg has an uncomfortable
desire to fraternize with other men
who have wooden legs. Once when
he was sitting in a park at Las We
gas four men, strangers to one an
other, entered. All had wooden legs.
They got together and in five min
Utes were trying on one another's
legs. Two of them traded. A man
he met had all the battles he had
fought painted on his wooden leg. An
other painted his wooden leg in deep
mourning when his wife died. A
friend of his uses his cork leg as a
life preserver when bathing. Another
utilities his as a propeller. A vain
man he met had his wooden leg tat
tooed. In San Francisco wooden
legged friend showed Mr.. Wander
grift a national magazine published
in the interests of wooden legs, called
the Wooden Leg. By means of this
publication men all over the world
traded wooden legs by paying for
want ads in it! Mr.. Vandergrift once
knew a man who had seven wooden
legs, one of them for Sunday-Kan-
sis City Star.

Biggest Month in
History Recorded
By Overland Firm

Never before in the history OF the auto
mobile industry has any manufacturer
of medium or high-priced cars equaled
the record made in June by the WHY'S
Overland company. Over 1900 Overlands
were shipped during the month.
The June shipments, amounting to
900 cars, show an increase of 1853 per
cent over those OF June. 1914, when 1898
cars left the Toledo factory. In the first
six months of the calendar year the COM
pany has shipped almost as many cars
as they did during the entire twelve
months OF 1914. or practically doubled
their last years output.
The previous high water mark in Over
land production was in the month Of
March, when zoos cars were shipped.
The record shipment for June exceeds
these figures by about 30 per cent. This
jump in production is in proportion to
the ever increasing demand for the Over
land product.

THE WESTERN DEMURRAGE
GOES OUT OF EXISTENCE

The Western Demurrage bureau is now
out Of existence. The railroads have
maintained this bureau for many years
for the purpose of adjusting demurrage
charges.
1t is done away with as a measure Of
economy and the railroads will take over
the work which It has done. TIE bureaus
at Chicago, Duluth. Minneapolis, Kansas
City and many other points have been
discontinued also.
Final action looking to this end was
taken Friday at meeting at which all
the railroads were represented by the fol-
lowing men: G. w. Covert, w. l.. Derr,
e. L. Belts, w. l. Stine, W. D. Lincoln,

connection with dancing In the pavilion

Several orga nizatons already have APP

TO issue permits to organizations which

tive evenings.
Under this plan, Mr.. English contends,
each organization will be jealous to main

The members OF the recreation board
believe it would be advisable to try out
