MILITARY FUNERALS
Statement Sent Out BY the Women's
Auxiliary of the Legion.

Auxiliary OF the Legion.
The Women's auxiliary of the
American Legion has sent out a
statement in regard to military fun
erals. There is no accepted form for
funerals yet, even in the legion, but
as such services are sadly common
this year, on account Of so many bod
les being returned from the battle
fields, it'll well to follow some gener-
al form, based on custom and natural
order, which seldom goes wrong.
When the funeral Is of soldier of
the great war, whether or not he be-
belongs to the organization, theEAuxi-
liary occupies the place of honor d.
rectly after the mourners.
When the funeral is of a soldier Of
the G.. A. r., even though conducted
by the American Legion, the place of
honor is to the w. r. G.
When the funeral is that of a Span
ish War Veteran, even though con-
place of honor is to the Auxiliary of
the Spanish War Veterans.
These rules are not absolute, but
are merely outlined to avoid any un-
pleasant situations.
The caskets of soldiers dying In
service are always returned to their
homes draped in the American flag,
which is removed just before the low
ering in to the grave, and can be re-
tanned by the family, but in the case
of soldiers dying in hospitals, after
their discharge from the army, the
casket is not so draped, and, until a
change Is made on this point, no
more graceful act could be perform
ed by the auxiliary than to present
their post with flag that could be
used for this purpose.

PHONE ROW IN LONDON
BOOST OF RATES IS SAID
TO BE THE CAUSE
Business Men Object to Raise
In the Face of Poor
Service
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

London, February 16.--While New
York and many other American cities
are or have been having scenes Of
hot argument over increases in street
railway or subway fares, Great Brit
ain has it's bone of dispute in an in
crease Of telephone rates.
The business interests and gener-
al public have suffered an attack of
what some call "telephonitis" as a
result Of an announcement by the
postmaster general, that he would
increase the telephone charges on
April l to present subscribers and
Immediately to new subscribers.
These increases are based on a
report OF select committee Of the
house Of commons, and call for an
annual rental of eight pounds, ten
shillings, against the old charge OF
five pounds. The present fee of
three pence (six cents) at public
call box will remain for short dist
Rnces, but longer distances will be
proportionately increased. These
charges have TO be made to meet
an estimated charge OF 100000 900
for this year, or an increase OF lat
percent over pre- war rates.
Criticism Has Grown.
= The volume Of criticism which the
first official statement called forth.
has since grown considerably and
not. only have resolutions of protest
been sent to the government from
every chamber OF commerce in the
country. but combined action is be-
Ing taken by the various chambers
with view to some alienation from
what IS called the ubiquitous" i'm
position Of higher charges for a ser
vice which is admittedly inefficient.
Some are even advocating boy.
colt, but conservative opinion in
cIines 10 the belief that this would
seriously injure the service in future.
A dcputation. representing the
press OF the Empire, protested to
The postmaster general but received
little encouragement. The postmas-
ter pointed out that wages in the de-
partment have trebled and the cost
If plant more than doubled. The ex-
penditure OF the department in 1918
IA was s5.952,000 and in 192021
aggregated S14,600.O00.
Service Grows Inefficient.
1t is claimed by the business com
munity. that since the government
took over the telephone service from
the National Telephone company
which paid dividend of six percent,
The service has grown increasingly
Inefficient and expensive, and the
strongest effort arc being made to-
wards postponement OF lie pro-
posed increases until the whole mat
Ter has been inquired into and abated
Parliament.
The chief cause of contention is
he abolition Of the old fiat rate of
ave pounds yearly with unlimited
.alls and the imposition of a sliding
Icale Of charges which will mean a
heavy addition to the bills of COM
nercial houses throughout the King
iom.

Washington D. c., February 16.-
Development Of Niagara Falls water
power as q national asset" on 81
gantic plan that would assign all
water power privileges to one indi.
vidual or corporation. thus eliminat-
ing grants to various smaller inter
ests. is urged in various recon-
mendations now before the Federal
power commission.
Although agreeing generally that a
comprehensive system j develop.
ment should be adopted, The recon-
nature Of the development. In ap.
proving any grants. the members of
the present commission, Secretaries
Baker, Payne and Meredith, are in
clined to anticipate dtvelopmtnt OF
methods in the near future that will
permit the Transporting economically
of power to points 500 miles or more
from the Falls.
Plans To Combine Power
Experts have told the commission
that the single assignment" plan
should include assignment Of water
power privileges below the Falls as
well as those above. Plans to com;
horse power taken from the Gorge
with the millions taken from above
the Falls into one project were pres
ented. The plans range from tunnel
ing under Goat Island which hangs
on the precipice between the Amer
ican and Canadian Falls, to DIGGING a
power and ship canal from Lake Erie
to Lake Ontario.
Proponents Of some Of the proposed
~roiectfnns claim that the govern
ment could tax such development a
half million a year and still give
rsers cheaper power than they now
enjoy, and leave profit for the cor
,~-a+icn on the investment. Secrs-
tary Baker, chairman Of the commits
sion has announced that no privileges
rnticinat'ng future amendments to
the existing water diversion treaty

have told the commission that 3000

now diverted on the American side
could be taken from Niagara River

OLDEST BANK DIRECTOR
North Carolina Man Graduate
From First University In
America

lASSOClalSO fTeSS
Raleigh, N. c., February 15.-Dr.
A. B. Hawkins, of this city, who
celebrated his ninety sixth birthday
on January rs, besides having been
for years the oldest living graduate
of the University of North Carolina,
the first state university to be estab-
lished in America, is also probably
the oldest active bank director in the
United States.
Dr.. Hawkins, who is one of the
wealthiest men here, has been q
member of the board of directors OF
one of the largest banks of Raleigh
for more than thirty years, during
which time he has missed but few Of
interest in the direction of the poll
cies of the institution. He is now in
splendid physical condition, retain
ing all OF his faculties. In addition
to his bank duties, DR.. Hawkins per-
sonally looks after his large real
estate and other holdings in this
state and in Florida.
Born in Franklin County.
Born in Franklin county on jan
uary 25, 1925, DR.. Hawkins graduated
from the University OF North Car
DINA, in 1S45, the same year that
James X. Polk, an alumnus of this
institution, was inaugurated Presi
dent Of the United States. He COM
pleted his studies at the Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia, Pa,
receiving his M. D. degree in 1S47,
thus making him one of the oldest
alumnus of this college. He practiced
medicine in North Carolina for a
number of years after finishing col
lege and then moved to Florida, but
returned to this state about forty
years and has since made mis-
home Raleigh.
DIR. skins wife, who died sever
al years ago, was the daughter of
General William Bailey, a veteran of
the war of 1872 and the Indian
