North Carolina Forests to
Be Tapped for a Supply of
Ties for Railroad Tracks

How many ties in a railroad track?
Did you ever ask yourself that Ques-
ton while riding On train? North
Carolina forests are to be tapped for
new supply, says Crete Hutchinson,
who writes in American Forestry
Magazine of Washington, as follows:
''At the present time the railroad
administration is facing shortage In
tie production. West Of the MISSISSIPPI
pi 100000 cross ties are required
annually for replacement; east Of the
Mississippi 100000 with approx
mately 100000 additional ties for
street railways and other Industrial
needs. A grand total of 15O,OOO,OOO
cross ties or 4,5OO,OOO,OOO board feet
of timber.
Against shortage Of 65 per cent
six months ago the present shortage
is only 40 per cent and probably will
be reduced to 80 per cent by the end
Of the year, due to better understand
ing of specifications. Thirty-four per
cent of the timber used by the railroad
purchasing committee Is white oak.
Large areas of the forested section Of
North Carolina in Pennsylvania, jack
son, Graham and Clay counties con-
tain this timber and road 40 miles
long is being put in to get this timber
out.

HaIf-Inch Spider Is Victor
Over Fish Two Inches Long

The amazing strength of spiders Is
shown in q number Of instances. Thus
we have an instance of half-inch
spider catching two-inch fish. 1t was
Of the ground or wolf family. A sci
enlist came upon it struggling with a
fish on the edge of little pool. It's
claws were buried in the fish's tail !;
It had the tail out of the water, but
the head still remained underneath.
The spider struggled to pull the fish
up the bank and the fish struggled des-
perately to pull the spider into the wa
ter. For ten minutes the scientist
watched this silent and deadly fight.
Then he hurried away for bottle in
which to put the combatants when he
captured them. He wees gone about
half an hour, and on his return the end
had come. The fish was dead and the
spider was slowly dragging its victim
away.

Everyone, Everywhere,
will Like ''Everywoman''

"Modesty? Methinks she is a
stranger here" says Stuff, the Broad
way theatrical manager, when Every
! body's three virginia. companions
| Youth, Beauty and Modesty-show
their faces at rehearsal on the
stage of his playhouse. Likewise a
stranger in a strange land is the
mighty spectacle "Eyerywoman," pre-
sented by Henry w. Savage, who is
coming to the EVANGELINE
THEATRE on Wednesday, March
18th.
"Everywoman" is full-fledged and
localized morality play, in five acts,
produced with spectacular and artis-
tic splendor, and it is sure to win a
spontaneous and triumphant welcome.
Despite the grudging acknowledge
ments of jaded circuits, who have
long since committed themselves to
the pessimistic theory of cynical,
heartless public, "Everywoman" has
scored a big popular hit everywhere
and is likely to last many another
season. The success of this unique
and genuine spectacle can be easily
accounted for. 1t has simple yet
elemental motive-woman' quest of
love-wrought out tenderly, though
in spirit of brightness, even gayety,
which heightens its serious import by
the effect of nicely balanced con-
trasts, and gives the whole proceed
ings an alluring outward aspect of
actua1ity.
The choruses and lyrics, set to
music by George Whitefield Chad
wick, are admirably interpreted by
an augmented symphony orchestra.
The principal characters are Nobody,
sore of detached protogonist and
Greek Chorus combined in one solita-
ry figure of commanding stature
Everywoman, beautiful young per-
son, who leaves her home in quest for
love; Youth, Beauty and Modesty, |
her companions, who remain with
her until she loses all of them: Flat
terry, who urges her to seek love in |
New York; Truth, disguised as a !
Witch; who tells her she will find
love only at home; Love, Passion |
Time and Wealth.
1t is in the playhouse, in New York, !
amidst the heartless revelry of New
Years Eve, in the questionable COM
pany of Wealth, Vanity and Greed, |
that Everywoman seeks King Love
the First.
The disillusionment is swift and
inevitable. Time, the call boy, takes
away Youth and Beauty. Modesty is
rudely suppressed; and only Con-
science with small voice still remains.
Passion and Wealth are straightaway
unmasked as false pretenders Every
woman in loneliness, restitution and
despair turns for support and conso
lation to Nobody. At last, guided
by truth, she returns to the home
whence she had vainly wandered
and finds King Love there asleep on
the hearth.
Paula Shay invests the character of
'Everywoman" with appealing femi-
nine charm. "Nobody's" philosophi-
,al ironies are we'll delivered by Per-
~ Parsons. And Natalia Lynn gives
dignity to the character of Truth.

STECHER WANTS ID MEETEARL PADDOCK Joe Is Willing to Meet Ples- tina if He Leaves Manage
 ment of Marsh

Joe Stecher. championship wrestler. gave out the following statement Thurs day night after his match with Jack Rogers
 T don't claim the worlds champion ship, but I am willing to compare my re- cord as wrestler with that of any other man in the mat game. I don't think that there is a wrestler yet who can come up to my record.
 When l lost my title to Earl Caddock I had underestimated him. In previous threw him twice in five minutes. he weighed around 195 pounds, and that is not enough weight to warrant him aspir- ing for the worlds championship. or course, when he wanted another match thought that it was useless to train for 1e5 pounder, more so since I had already thrown him twice in , minutes. Consequently he threw me in our match. When Caddock returns from Fnance l in- tend to wrestle him for the championship if he is still in the game.
 Regarding Lewis and Zbyszko, I think that Lewis is really the better matsman. Although Zbyszko is a trfle stronger than Lewis. the 'Strangler'' is much the eleverest of the two When he gets that head lock of his onn man there is really nothing to do but to give up. John Ere berg IS mighty good man himself. He is one of the cleanest wrestlers in the game today
 And about Plestina, I think that he is all bluff He is really a strong man, but not very clever at the game. He doesn't seem to get the hang of wrestling have met Plestina before, in match of two fnllss out of three. 1 threw him in two straight falls, and it took me only 23 minutes to do it. Furthermore, I am willing to meet him again. at any time, at any place, as soon as he leaves the management of Ollie Marsh. I cant at- ford to have nny dealings with an ex- convict and a crook. This is where I stand in regards to Martin Plestina. who Is making such a fuss and demands match so strenuously. Get rid of Marsh and I will meet him.

SECURES SERVICES OF c. C.
 DILLON AS COACH

There is much rejoicing among the "Howardists" over the fact that a sure enough" athletic coach has been secured for next year. The one referred to is c. c. Dillon, star athlete and graduate of the University of Illinois of the 1913 class. He made remarkable record while in school, playing on varsity foot ball, baseball, basketball, and was par ticular good on the track team. Since graduation Dillon has successfully coached Dakota Wesleyan university and Simpson college
 MT. Dillon is strong advocate of mass athletics, is a scholar and a Christian gentleman Howard is to be congrat- ulated upon having secured the services of such a worthy character.
 MT, Dillon has the opportunity to make his career even more successful, since the institution has an abundance of good material in all forms of college athletics, and all are expected to return next year. Hence, with such a leader and such material, and support from friends of the college, there is reason for re- joicing.

A Baronial rally in the sixth frame lent considerable excitement to the afternoons pastime and fell but one tally shy of deadlocking the verdict.
