1t is estimated that Germany had
been receiving $4,000 pounds of CON
traband goods each week through elab-
orately planned and executed schemes
for smuggling the goods in through
Holland.
1t is alleged that the forbidden ma
terials were slipped aboard Belgian re
lief ships and were clandestinely land
ed on Dutch territory. Later they
would be shipped across the border
into Germany by active agents in HOl-
land.
The men who admitted their guilt
in the case will be sentenced in a few

ITALY TAKES
TO AIR WITH
GREAT VIGOR

ROME, Oct. 9, (By the Associated
Press - Writing from the Italian
headquarters in the field, q CORES
pendent says
Italy has taken to the air like a
duck to the water. Aviation is becom-
ing a national industry. For instance,
this morning the Milan papers are on
sale in this little town where the Staff
has its home, seven hourse before they
could arrive by train, having been
freighted hither by the great Caronj
which recently took part in the bomb
ing Of Pola. Several aeroplane mails
are running on various routes in Italy
with fair regularity, while at the same
time aerial warfare is spreading
more characteristic of the fighting on
this fantastic front.
had a talk with the aviator who
brought the newspapers, and asked
him regarding the damage at Pola,
which he had actually seen. He replied
that he saw many fires, which he as
cribed to the various localities and es-
adjustments of the dockyard, but
was also personally convinced that
two Austrian submarines were struck
and sunk, while a number Of other
ships at anchor or moored to wharves
were hit and damaged or set on fire.
He said that the Austrians were plen-
tifully supplied with fast fighting ma
chimes, but rarely engaged in an aerial
duel if able to avoid it. He gave me
a brilliant impromptG word picture of
the scene as he looked down on Pola,
showing pale in the darkness, with
shifting tangle of searchlights sprOut-
ing from it, and the gun flashes of the
anti-aircraft artillery lighting it up
in momentary illumination. The last
he saw as he turned homeward was
the silhouette of the town against the
flames and the red glow of the burn
ing buildings wonderfully reflected in
the waters of the Adriatic. This air
mans opinion that the Austrian avi-
ators avoid duels is partially confirm
ed by the practical immunity with
which the Italians carry out elaborate
bombing expeditions.

A TELEGRAPH LINE


am going to tell you about q
telegraph line three other boys and
myself put up.
We got permission from the
Greensboro Telephone company to
put the wires on their telephone
poles. We went along the creek
and got some telephone wire and
spliced it We got one boy to help
us put the wire on the poles. His
name was Grant Fulton. The two
others boys names were Russell
Pickett and Herschel Mettert. We
only put up one wire. We drove
an iron pipe in the ground and it
served as one wire. We used dry
batteries, l did not think 1t would
work. We connected the batteries
to the line and then the instru-
ment. We tried it and 1t worked
but we did not have enough eiec-
tricity. We got more batteries,
then it worked better. We made
a relay for our instrument. Then
we quit using the ground wire and
put up another wire.-By Walter

COMMENTS

There is certain long haired
boy on the front row in the eighth
grade of the Greensboro School
who Is very wise. The other day
he remarked that he never yet
had hurt himself studying. We
are very glad that he has learned
this truth, that he never has nor
ever will hurt himself when he
studies, but that the only time he
does really hurt himself is when
he gazes dreamily around the room
and yawns at the teacher; after
that he sometimes feels slightly

THE ROBIN

Now the Robin is returning
From the southern hills and hooks,
Where the crops have not quit
growing,
And no ice is on the brooks;
Where the crickets still are
chirpping
Mid the blessings of sweet
summer,
And the humble bees are buzzing,
Among the flowers of the clover;
There the Blue birds still are
singing
With the Black birds and the Jays
There the Robin now is singing,
All his helpful, cheerful lays.
On the plains and in the forests,
And on the mountains high;
Sometimes DER grim desserts,
We see the Robin fly:
Most every time we see him.
We hear his joyful cry,
So inspiring. it seems most human
1t sounds SO light and free,
No instrument or musician.
Can surpass his song of glee;
It's a flash of inspiration,
That rides upon the breeze.

School.

SWAT THE FLY


ciety. 1t is one OF the greatest
agents for distributing germs of
all sorts. and mostly contagious
ones. In New York seven thou
sand children die annually. Chill
dren arc our nations wealth.
Shall we kill them with flies? In
many cases flies are permitted to
roam at will throughout our homes.
This should be stopped to save the
children and the older folks as
well. The way out is to swat
the Fly"
Once there was lady asked If
she had got rid Of the flies II
don't know" she answered, 1--WE
have burned sulphur and spilled
carbo,ic acid everywhere and ev-
erything we could think Of. don't
think any could live there. know
we couldn't" This serves to illus
trate that flies can live almost
any place. which is SO. In fact,
they babitate the most unhealthy
places orc could think of. To stop
this we should demolish. blow up
or get rid of these places in some
manner.
From here they come germ lad
en- into our kitchens. which should
be very clean. They dance and
prancc around. scraping and rub
bling their feet off on our victuals,
getting rid of the germs in gen.
eral. They usually get first sam
pie of our foods Occasionally one
will fall overheard into some milk
and 60 bathing. Also the critters
go into the room of the sick and
then pay the patients friend a
visit, which. il repeated often
enough will result disastrously
The average fy's life is ten days.
In this time they can do an enor-
nous amount of damage to human
lives.
1t is said that in a single season
one fly will progney a sextillicn of
dies or about twice as far as you
can think.
One doctor figured out that two
years Of the average mans life
was cut OH on account or the ny.
Another discovered, that along a
certain milk route In New York,
fifty-eight cases of typhoid fever
and six deaths resulted because
the careless milkman had not pro-
hibited the flies from using the
milk cars. Somebody is continu-
ally called to give up life because
of the pesky fly
For remedy for this let us OBJ
serve rules conserving sanitation
(not sanitary rules) and getting
rid of all the unhealthy places
then bring into action all styles Of
fly traps.
If you will spend as much ply
steal energy energy on the fly as
I have mental energy in writing
this, ! will have reason to thinl
that my grey matter activity was
not useless. There seems to BE-
enough concentration Of the mine
on the subject. but not enough
concentration Of the paddle on tht
fly itself. = Chester Atkinson

BOYS HUNT 'POSSUM

[Isn't it strange. Junior Folks,
why boys who do the most inter-
nsting things, have the hardest
time telling their experiences in
good English? But let's forgive
them this time.-Ed.1
One night along the first of Feb
ruary me and my brother took our
new coon hound out for the first
time. We went about quarter Of
a mile north of our home. and
went into a large sugar camp and
turned the hound loose. Then we
sat down on stump and listened
for about a half an hour, and we
heard the dog barking on trail
He ran on the trail for about an
hour and freed the animal and be-
gan to bark louder. We being
distance from the dog ran with all
our speed to him. When we reach
ed the place the dog was standing
at the foot of little hickory tree
barking at little opossum about
middle ways up the tree. So I
climbed up the tree and shook him
out. l picked the oppossum up by
the tail. and we went home happy
and told the story to our parents.
and then went to bed. So long,
