The Review understands that the
Central, Engineering and Construc-
ton Co., the people who have the
contracts for rocmac on East Wash
ington and Centennial streets, has
asked to be allowed to name prices
on putting down asphalt streets in
competition with the r. G. Lassiter
& Co.. but nothing has yet been
heard from the proposition. Is the
Lassiter Company the only concern?
Is it imperative to give this concern
all the contracts at its own price j?
We understand that the rocmac peo-
pie would save the city big money
on the contracts and guarantee the
work. We believe the rocmac con-
structiOn is just as substantial as
the asphalt and will last equally as
long. Notwithstanding all that has
been said and done. We trust there
is nothing to indicate prejudice or a
one sided belief in either of the prop
ositions. There is nothing in roc
mac to disintegrate. Can that be
said of asphalt?

SAYS RIOTING WOULDN'T HAP.
PEN IN THE SOUTH.

Newport News, Va, July 31.-In
an address before 1000 negro en-
ployes of the Newport News Ship
building and Drydock Company to-
day, Dr. R. r. Motion. principal of
Tuskegee Institute, and regarded as
a. leader of his race. said:
- Z anasvery thankful 10 the New
portNews Shipbuildine Company for
what it is doing for my race in this
city and what it is doing for all who
work here. want to thank these
good white men for the help they
are to my people. The members OF
my race have an opportunity here
which makes them soldiers as well
as those on the ships at sea or those
in the trenches of Europe.
I'VE all know of the East St. Louis
strike, where black men were shot
ond killed for trying to make an
honest living. l say to you now that
while the affair was a.. disgrace to
the State of Illinois and to this ma.
ton, it was not what the best white
people wanted. But I am glad to say
that such thing would not happen
in Newport News and in the South.
| want you to be true tothese white
men for whom you work and to
those with whom you work. Let me
urge you to work six days of each
week and save part Of your money.
Put part of it in the bank, then put
more and more in."
The speaker admonished them to
be proud of themselves and be true,
honestly earning and leaving some
thing. No people can be more loyal
than the negro; no people will be
more loyal, he said. He stated that
the race was given an opportunity
here in Newport News as they were
not given in any other place.

TO HELP WIN THE WAR.

Washington, D. c., July 3O.-The
Railroads War Board has addressed
a plea to public service commissions
and all States, county and munich
pal authorities throughout the Unit
ed States, urging cooperation with
the railroads in a suspension during
the period of the war of all efforts
not designed to help directly in win
ming the war The specific sugges
tons which the Railroads War Board
makes to all such authorities are
embodied in letter forwarded by
Chairman Fairfax Harrison, which
states that:
The present emergency has i'm
pressed upon the railroads a very
unusual strain in Transporting men,
food, coal, munitions and materials
in augmented quantity. This bur-
den, while cheertully undertaken, re-
Quires every ounce of energy, every
,unit of rolling stock, eI cry dollar of
capital, every bit of supplies and
coal which the railroads can COM
mand.
1T is the opinion of this conpmit-
tee that all efforts not designed to
help directly in winning the war
should be suspended during the Pc
riod of the war. Indeed, this is OBJ
viously the thought of President Will
son in his appeal to the country on
April 18th, 1917, which included
the following statement: 1t is evil
dent to every thinking man that
our industries must he made more
prolific and more efficient than ever,
and that they must be more econ
omically managed and better adapt
ed to the particular requirements of
our task than they have been.

FULLY 24,OOO PHYSICIANS ARE
NEEDED FOR ARMIES.

Washington, July g. Fully a.
900 physicians, or two out of every
nine of military age in the country,
will be needed by the new Ameri-
can armies, the war department an
nounced today, in addition to 120,-
900 enlisted men who must be Sc
cured for the medical corps.
Half of these physicians and en-
listed men will be needed by Octo-
Der l. They already are going into
training camps to fit them foEaSer-
vice at the rate of 200 a day, az Ft.
Riley. Kan; Fort Benjamin Harri-
SOD, Ind Fort Oglethorpe, Gasi Fort
Des Moines, Ia, and Allentown, Pa.
Three months trainingis given the
officers and men. About 1880
officers. and men are now under
training at the camps.
The demand for physicians is
probably the heaviest made by the
war on any profession and the de-
partment says the medical men of
the country are meeting it rapidly.
There are approximately sc, 900 ply
sicians of military age, % to SIS
years in the country. By system
of selection these will be modified
and drawn from each community in
proportion to the number available
so as not to leave any community
without adequate protection.
After ther three months training
"a detaahHaeRt of The naedicai officers
for each regiment will Ea sent to
each national army, national guard
and reguIar army camp ahead of

necessary for safeguarding health.

GROW MORE WHEAT THIS FALL

GROW MORE WHEAT THIS FALL
I In those portions of the State
where wheat may be grown satis-
Etactorily. it is not only the patriotic
duty of farmers to grow it, but they
win by so doing produce a crop that
should bring in good returns where
the yield is satisfactory.
There is every indication at the
present time that the price of wheat
will be high. Many farmers might
Every well produce this crop in sufi
Ecient quantities to meet their own
sneeds at least where they have not
sheretofore been growing this crop.
Particularly is this so with farmers
in the Piedmont and mountain sec
'tions of the State In the eastern
section, where the soils are of a
'loany or otherwise fairly compact
gnature, wheat may be found to pro
sduce very good returns if put in
l.operly, fertilized inte'ligently, and
Otherwise carefully looked after 1t
is certainly safe policy for farmers
who can grow wheat to do so this
year in ordor to provide at least for
their own needs. BY thus doing
they will safeguard against any un-
coward contingencies.
1t is very essentiaI that good seed
be used. Those who have saved
seed for fall planting should take
every precaution to see that they
are kept in good condition, and that
they have been screened from inn
perfect and shrive!ed grain before
pzaati1g time Those who are tf4~
ing wheat for the frsttime Should
buy early, and buy Of the varieties
which are best suited to their local
conditions. Buying early will per-
init of the purchase of a better
grade of seed at less price per bushel
than when delayed purchases are
made. 1t is safe to count upon U.s.
ing four to six pecks per acre in
seeding.
The Division of Agronomy of the
Extension Service and State Depart
ment of Agriculture is in position
to give definite information with ref
ence to the best varieties to use, The
best time to seed, the kind of prepa-
ration that should be given the land,
