MAY BE A BIRD PARADISE
New Use for island Of Heligoland Sug
gested to Secretary
Lansing.

London.-On the question of making
Heligoland a bird paradise, l.. Gardin-
er, secretary Of the Royal Society for
the protection of birds says:
1.-THE bird lovers scheme for He'll
goland was that the island should be
an internal observation station and a
birds sanctuary. There was no sug-
gestion whatever In this connection
that it should be restored to Germany.
A resolution to this effect was carried
at the annual meeting of the Royal So
ciety for the protection Of birds and
was forwarded to the British peace
delegation"
DIR. w. J. Hornaday, of New York, a
leader of the wild life protection
movement in the states, cordially Sec
onded the appeal and wrote MI. Ian
sing urging that If Heligoland could
not be given back to England II should
be n~eutralized as a naval base and
placed upon the map as an internal
reservation for the protection of birds.
The unique value Of the rock for this
purpose, situated as 1t is In mid-stream
Of migration, is well known to orni-
biologists and has been abundantly
proved by the work of Gatke.

INSIST MAN is DEAD
Government Sends Four CfticiaI
Death Notices.
Mcclure, Much Alive, Wanasrs About
His in~validatlen Home by
Army.

Wilmington. Del.--Alfred Mcclure
Of sol West Ninth street, is beginning
to wonder whether the government is
"~spoofing" him or whether they have a
grudge against him. Since he was in.
valided home on the discharged list
last January, having served with the
Three Hundred Twelfth infantry,
Seventy-eighth division, his family has
been notified four times that he was
dead-either killed in battle, died from
wounds, or deceased as the result Of
diseases or accident.
well I see l am dead again." is
McGuire's way of passing off the mat
ter when he beholds a letter adj
dressed to his mother bearing the
frank of the war department. The
fourth notification Of his death came
the other day, but as Mcclure, and
Mark Twain before him, said The
report of my death is greatly exagger-
ated."
Each letter that came has been an
swered either by MCGUIRE himself or
his mother. Notification has been sent
to the authorities that Mcclure is liv-
ing, but they still insist ON killing him
off with clock-like regularity. The no
tees of his demise are also liable to
contain the information that he was a
cook, a wagon driver, q sergeant of
artillery or any other such rank, while
Mcguire plaintively states that a man
has to be killed before his rank is
raised apparently, as he was nothing
but a buck private"
Mcclure fought during the st. MI
hiel drive and was hit by a piece Of
shrapnel and was invalided home.
After recuperating from his wound,
which was not severe, he was dis
charged and began working for the
Harlan shipbuilding plant.
In addition to kilograms, a letter
was received from the chaplain of the
regiment telling Mrs. Mcclure of the
heartrending circumstances of his
death, full details and a complete de
scription of his surroundings, grave,
etc, accompanying the letter. The
chaplain was from Germantown, Pa,
and Mrs. Mcclure wrote a letter TO
him, thanking him for his sympathy,
but saying she was glad 1t was mis-
placed, as her son was not dead. but
very much alive.

SHERMAN. TEXAS.

George Pattulli, magazine writer
who has been with General Pershings
army in France, has paid a tribute to
the American fighting men that is wor-
thy of reproduction n every county In
the United States. Says Mr.. Pattulli:
1.-The American soldier is about the
finest human specimen on top of the

in a fight; ruthless to an enemy capa-
BILE of resistance; generous to fault
to beaten foe; hating nobody. fearing
none; with backbone enough to storm
hell, and the gentleness to win

France knows this. England knows
it, even Germany has a hazy idea that
Yankee doughboy is combination
of an angel from heaven and q devil
from hell. Isn't it about time for
Americans to realize the worth of their

IN LOVER COURT.
POU AND BIG6s. ATTORNEYS
Action Is Taken to Force State Ware
house Commission to Provide Ma
chinery Called for in the Act.

Mandamus pl oceedings will be in
stituted at the present term of Wake
Superior Court to compel the State
Tax Commission to provide machin-
cry for collecting the 25-cent per bale
tax on cotton. imposed by the Price
Warehouse act, for the support of q
State system Of cotton warehouses.
The corporation commission, acting
upon the opinion of tie attorney gen.
-eral, declared the taxing clause Of
the law unconstitutional, and declined
a formal request to furnish the ma
chinery and the case goes to the
courts. James II. Pou and Judge J.
Crawford Biggs, of Raleigh, will ap-
pear for the department and the suit
will be defended in the lower court
by Attorney General Manning and AS
sistant Attorney General Sykes.
Following the opinion of Attorney
General Manning that the taxation
feature Of the warehouse act was un-
constitutional, the Board of Agricul-
ture conferred with Mr.. Pou and
reached the decision to get the case
before the Supreme Court as early as
possible. Because the tax is not op-
erative until after July 1, it looked
for awhile that the case would have
to wait until midsummer Mr.. Pou
and Judge Biggs, both of whom had
been retained, decided that action
could be brought against the tax COM
mission to force them to provide ma
chinery called for in the law right
away. The agricultural department
anticipated that the tax commission
would decline to provide such ma
chinery in the face of the opinion OF
Attorney General Manning.

for l.nproved Road.

Projects FOR improved Roads.
After IN initial three days close
study of the North Carolina highway
situation, in conference here, the new
State Highway Commission gave an
interview as to the situation as they
find it and the general policy of the
commission.
The situation in a nutshell being
that there are in the State 40 projects
Of road improvement taken over from
the retiring commission in which the
Federal aid involved is about $72O, 900,
while the total Federal aid that will
be available to July, 1920, is $500, 900,
with probable million dollars avail
able on the part of the State from the
automobile tax. Then as TO policy,
the commission has provided a system
of maintenance that is definite as to
counties generally with $3.50 basis
and divided the State into four dis
tricts, one commissioner to visit every
county just as soon as possible and
make return visits as often as neces-
sary for the closest possible co-opera-
ton; hard-surface roads to have just
what consideration that the commits
sion deems possible with due regard
for the entire State system OF roads.
Commissioner Page, speaking Tor
the commission, said the commission
found % projects of road construction
under way in which the government
aid amounts to 1921, 900, 1S projects in
which surveys have been made and
being considered by the government,
in which Federal aid would amount to
1928 900; eight projects, the aliot-
ments have not been made but. in
which the Federal aid would be about
$166, 900 and one amendment agree.

Training Health Officers.

The University of North Carolina
will very likely enlarge the scope of
its extension service to include a
course for the training of county
health officers. The plan was given
tentative consideration in a confer
ence between Drs. Chase and MacNi-
der, of the faculty of the University,
and DR.. w. S. Rankin and DR.. B. E.
Washburn, of the State board of
health.
The University recently added an
expert in sanitation to it's faculty and
the institution would be we'll equipped
to provide the course for the health
officers of North Carolina. The prop
osition is regarded among health ex-
perts as a move that would be most
productive of efficiency in the further
ance of the health campaign in the
State.
The conference, however, was pure
ly of tentative nature but is prob
ably the forerunner of further confer
ences between the faculty of the Uni
versity and the officials of the State
board of health. North Carolina is
well up IN the list of States with legis-
lation for the protection of the health
of it's citizenship but it's force is min
imiZed unless the health officers in
every city and county are thoroughly
alive to their job.
