WHITE PINE, AND OTHER
WOODS TO SUPPLEMENT-
SPRUCE IN THE AIR
PLANE PRODUCTION

Washington, July 10.--A policy now
effective in American airplane pro.
duction is that of supplementing
spruce wood supply by using selected
timber of other more widely distrib-
uted commercial varieties. 1t Is said
that exhaustive tests made by the
forest service, followed by expert
ments in construction, have proved
that requisite qualifications OF
strength and lightness for airplane
building are possessed in varying de-
gree by other woods, notably white
pine, and that under orders of John
d. Ryan, head of the Aircraft Board,
use of them was Immediately decided
upon.
1t is not intended, the technical
men say, to displace the invaluable
but somewhat inaccessible spruce
with the other woods except in max
| ing the fuselage, finishing the body,
,, and building up sections of the struc-
ture like the landing struts, where the
strains and stresses of progress
against air resistance do not center.
Spruce will still constitute the mate
rial for wing spars, struts, between
planes and similar sections where
these stresses do center.
Airplane specifications have been
thoroughly overhauled in recent
weeks, 1t is also said, in an effort to
! eliminate requirements of extraordi-
nary structural strength and ineness
of material in non.strain bearing sec.
tions, whether made of wood or of
metal, which has hampered produe.
tion and raised problems of raw ma.
terial supply which have been more
or less unsolvable in view Of the
quantity of machines desired. Much
of this has only been possible because
of the building during the past year,
which has furnished an experience
up which TO develop innovations. A
policy of official secrecy concerning
all details of the airplane program Is
still In effect.

SAVE MONEY AS THEY
NEVER SAVED BEFORE

London, July 10.--The British are
saving money as they never have not
withstanding the increased cost of ev-
erything.
Sir Robert Kindersley, chairman Of
the National War Savings Association,
stated that it is remarkable" that
there are 16,75O,O00 holders Of British
war securities and mora than l3,0OO,-
accounts in saving banks.
1T may be safely alleged, not only
that saving has been commenced by
many millions who before the war

never saved. but that there ; every
evidence hat the effort Of these saw
crs increases in intensity as the war
proceeds.
This situation is ascribed to the fact
Il at thousands are receiving more
pay than ever and thousands of wom-
en-, who, prior to the war, earned
nothing are now engaged in remun-
erative war work. Also the incen.
tive to spend money has been removed
to a certain extent by the regulation
of food and drinking purchases ant
curtailment of amusements.

SERVANT PROBLEM
SOLVED BY MEXICAN GIRLS,
NEAR THE BORDER

El Paso, Tex, July 10.-MeXican
girls have solved the servant problem
for housewives in American border
cities such as El Paso.
Mexican servants are both plenti-
full and reasonable in their charges
For SO per week good nurse maid
may be secured from the Mexican
quarter here. Four dollars provides
maid of all work while $5 and Sc
are the rates charged by the Mexi-
cans for cooking, laundry work and
living on the premises. The wage
scale is not the problem with this
class of household servants and the
Mexican is practically the only avil-
able servant on the border, the me-
groes and Chinese being few and al
ways retained in the same homes
from year to year.
The Mexican servant girl, within
her limitations, is hard working
faithful and fairly efficient worker.
Even the poorest peon girls who know
nothing Of gas stoves, running water
or electric appliances develip into
satisfactory servants of patience and
perseverance is shown. They work
hard, rarely complain and accept their
place In the home without protest.
They are specially desirable nurse
maids. They like children, having
had experience with children in their
own families and are gentle with lit
tie ones.

CAST YOUR VOTE

To the Voters of Halifax County,
Tuesday, November 5th is cleo

in North Carolina from the democ

dangerous this year. The normal

Our President and party leader
has appealed to the electors Of A
merlca to see to it that the present
complexion Of the United States

tives be maintained. The Repub]i
cans throughout the nation, from
Rooseveldt down, are doing every
thing in their power to hamper the
present administration by elect

nited States Senate and in the
House.
The Republicans in North Car
DINA are likewise doing their ut
most to defeat the State ticket. In
the western part Of North Carolina
where the Republicans are strong

and unless those counties in Nor

tic party is uppermost and Z Rep
