 Committee Will Turn
 Over Work to New Board

New York, September 1.-The work of the committee on industrial pre- 'paredness of the naval consulting will almost surely'' be turned over to the new council of national defense created by the army bill The an- nouncement was made by Thomas A. Edison, chairman of the naval con sulting board, in a letter to the com mittee on industrial preparedness, in which he called attention to the five months labor of the committee in con- nection with federal measures for pub lie defense which have just become laws. MT. Edison credits the commit having laid the foundation for a true industrial preparedness in this nation" and points out that the three original objects of the committee have been ac- complished.
 These were: First, to mobilize the business men of America and their out put against a period of emergency; second. to procure legislation making possible the placing by the govern ment of annual orders for munitions in small quantities with American manufacturers not producing muni- tions; and, third, to organize the coun- try's skilled labor as an industrial re- serve.
 The work of the committee will almost surely be turned over to the new council of national defense," Mir. Edison informed MT. Coffin. the com mittee's remarkable constructive pro- gramme being i neffect Salready an accomplished fact"

GOVERNOR RETAINS
 C0UNSEL,TO FIGHT
 MANDAMUS WRIT
Will Defend Suit of AttOr- ney General on Ground of Discretionary Power
 in Matter

Montgomery, September 1.-(Speciall )
 Governor Henderson has employed Ball
 & Sanford, and Rushton, Williams &
 Crenshaw, law firms of this city, to rep
 resent him in the mandamus proceedings
 instituted few days ago by James R.
 Daily, through the attorney general, in an effort to compel him to approve an ex- perse account incurred in making an in- vestigation of the affairs of former Sher- if P. M. Daniel of Russell county.
 Under an agreement with the court, the pleadings in the case will be filed tuesday, September 5, and hearing will De set sometime after September 1S William H. Sanford, the governors legal advisor and member of the firm of Ball & Sanford, was called to New York sud- denly and is expected to return to Mont gomery, September IT,
 More than likely the case will be set tied by the pleadings as the facts are practically undisputed. The questions of law involved will be brought up and thrashed out in the pleadings and if the court should hold that the governor can- not be- mandamused in a matter of this kind, it is believed the case would be terminated. Should the court hold, how ever that the governor is amenable to mandamus process it might possibly be noSSSsary prilS out some or Ihe facts. In either event, 1t is regarded as cer- tain that the case must be carried to the supreme court for a final decision Attorneys for the chief executive 1t is understood. will contend that the gov. ernor is clothed with discretion in the matter of approving the Daily account and hence is not subject to mandamus because, under the supreme court de- cisions, a governor can be mandamused only to perform a ministerial function The governor is mute on the subject except to say that that is the common sense view to take of the matter"
 The proceedings were filed before Cir cult Judge Leon McCord, who has cited the chief executive to appear and show cause why a peremptory writ of man. damus against him should not be granted

Used ResinOl For
 Bad Skim Trouble
Considers Her Cure Remarkable

June 25.-"For almost six months suffered from a severe case of skin trouble on my leg between the ankle and knee- It began by swelling, with severe pains day and night, followed by constant itching. My leg then became inflamed, and later water blisters and pimply sores broke out on it. At this time my leg was at least one- third above its normal size. and the continual itching and burning sensation was something terrible. I applied many remedies, but gained no relief until I commenced using Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap, from which obtained re- lief by the first application. After a continued use of Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap the swelling was reduced, the itching and burning were entirely relieved and a complete cure was ef- fected. having used only three jars of Resinol Ointment and two cakes of Res- incl Soap. My trouble sure was ser ious, and I consider the cure remark able" (Signed) Mrs. H. w. Neefus, S25 Pearson St., Greensboro. N c.

NEW ORLEANS JUDGE BETTING ON GAME
 IS NOT A VIOLATION

New Orleans, September 1.-Moderate betting on baseball games does not con- stitute gambling. according to decision today by Judge V. J. Stentz of the New Orleans city court.

German Exchange Now
 at Lowest Level Since
 Great War Was Started

New York, September 1-Exchange rates between this market and Germany today fell to the lowest quotation since the outbreak of the war, the value of four marks, nominally worth $1, declining to 69A cents, or discount of over 30 per cent. The previous low rate was 701a, re- corded yesterday. The weakness in marks is coincident with events in the foreign war zone.
