Views, as expressed from Wash

Of the Harding administrations avi
alton policy were exchanged at thu
War Department last week wher
Secretaries Weeks, Hays and Hoov-
err and Acting Secretary Of the Navy
Roosevelt met to discuss the aerial
activities and needs of their depart
ments.
As a result of the conference IL
was decided that in the interests Of
economy Standardization could be
effected of certain types of ma
chimes to be used by the War, Com
merce and postoffice departments,
and unit buying could be inaugu-
rated without injury to the various
services. At present each department
does its own buying and experimental
work Independently. 1t was also con-
cluded that standardized plan, as
suitable to the needs Of the postal
air service and commercial work,
could be developed along lines that
would also permit its use as an army
bombing plane.
The question of unification Of all
government aerial activities under
one bureau or a separate depart
ment was discussed, but no decision
was reached. The ground work was
laid, however, for the discussion Of
this plan, which is expected to occu-
py the attention Of the cabinet at a
later date.
Secretary Hoover is understood to
have presented to the conference the
need of national aviation laws and
and it is regarded as
probable that bill Incorporating the
ideas advanced, will be presented
when Congress convenes in special
session. His department is especial
ly interested in the subject because
of the growing commercial use of

way to reduce them would be to sub

In addition TO the heads of de-
partments, there were present to ex-
plain technical questions, Major
General c. T. Menoher, director Of
army aviation; Captain William A.
Moffett, director of naval aviation,
and W. S. Stratton, of the Bureau
of Standards.

What is SPACE?

We remember attending state
convention of publishers when the
question of space came up for dis
cussion. The speaker of the day was
very exhaustive in his discussion,
and he was listened to attentively by
a young chap who had not long been
the publisher of a country news
paper When the speaker said he
would be glad to answer questions,
the young chap said: swell, / am a
little puzzled for definition Of
space. What is space, now, Mr..
speaker"
The speaker thought for a moment
1t was like describing a winding

him at twenty-eight, you find him at
forty or sixty.
If we were to emphasize two vir-
tues over the many we would say
clean converse and thrift. Any young
man with clean mouth and the vir-
tue of thrift has taken a long stride
toward good citizenship.

We don't know whether the boy
Of this community average above o
below those of other communities
but we do know that the average DO.
gets about as much attention rs
glass of milk at brewers picnic
None of us are impressed with thu
fact that the average boy is ap'
preaching manhood. If he lives
there's nothing to stop him from
growing into his maturity.
Whether he reaches his stature
with a capability that will enable
him to assume the responsibility OF
citizenship or whether he just drifts
in aimlessly, is the big factor in our
community economy.
The hoy has four critical periods
that he must pass through before
he stands up and exhibits the stuff
that's in him.
Some one has divided his life into
four seven-year periods; That brings
the full manhood of Twenty EIGHT
years. You can't make man out of
boy and stop off at twenty one,
no more than you can make sea-
soned draft horse of a three year
old.
From one to seven years any boy
is pretty good. He is the constant
companion Of his mother in this first
period and her influence is akin to
the divine.
His second seven-year period car
ries him to fourteen years. In this
second seven years he breaks loose
from the apron strings. He goes
down on the mill pond lot. He stands
around where men congregate. He
hears much that he should not hear
He hears profanity, obscenity and
coarse vulgarity. Men have not
learned to restrain their converse in
the presence Of the impressionable
boy.
From fourteen to twenty-one is
the danger period. 1t is also the
smart aleck period, for the average
boy in his teens thinks what he
doesn't know is of small Importance.
Sound advice to him is about ninety
per cent sound and ten per cent add
vice.
1t is the period when he pushes
formality aside. 1t is the period in
which he keeps late hours. 1t is also
the period of anxiety for the mother
and the period Of indifference for
the father.
Unfortunately, just when the
father should chum with his boy,
shaping his thought and conduct, he
manifests his greatest Indifference
The father oftimes chides the mother
because of her anxiety and solicit
tude.
If the average boy can pass
through this period from fourteen
to twenty lone, and come clean, the
battle is practically won. If he
comes up to his twenty-first year
coarse, vulgar, profane and with an
underlined purpose, the chances of
his making a thorough-g going citizen
are against MN.
Much of the blame for. defective
young men lies at the door of our
men of affairs. But few men ever
think of giving a word of encourage
ment and boy in his teens is easily
glorified. A heart TO heart talk in
private with a growing boy leaves a.
amazing impression.
Take the matter Of thrift rs an
example. What banker has called a
boy into the directors room and in
vited him to open "a savings account.
Thrift is such on essential virtue
that no yong man can take his place
in the Affairs of men until he has

POTS AND PANS ARE
HOUSEHOLD PROBLEMS
Some Ways to Clean Them With
Least Effort, and Damage
to Them.

How to keep the pots and pans
clean and slightly is one of the prob
lens every housewife has to face,
judging from the comments heard
when women are talking over house
hold matters.
Miss Maude Guthrie, home econom-
isc specialist, OF theDivision of Exten-
sion says small amount of washing
soda in hot soapy water in which the
pots and pans are washed every time
they are used is a great help.
Where it is necessary to scour
metal, whiting as a scour substance
gives the metal the least wear. The
acid of some foods such as rhubarb,
tomatoes, lemons, or oranges will Oft
EN- remove discolorations.
Whiting moistened with any food
acid such as those mentioned above
is good for aluminium. Washing soda
should not be used as the alkali it
contains darkens the metal
A weak soda solution will remove
grease from brass and whiting and a
dilute acid will remove tarnish; brass
may be polished with rotten stone
and sweet oil, and dried with soft
cloth. Copper may be cleaned ir the
same way.
Kerosene will remove rust and
grease from iron. It may be boiled
in strong solution of soda. A strong
abrasive, such as emery. may be used
with iron.
Too mxch scrubbing with harsh
substances soon wears of nickel plate
Daily care with ho: water and soap
prevents tarnish. Whiting noistened
With ammonia will Polish nickel.
Kerosene is the best clearing agent
or porcelain. Abrasives remove the
'laze. Iron rust may be removed
With dilute hydrochloric acid. Porce-
ain should be washed and riased
thoroughly after the acid mas been
sed.

time has there been any threat or
hint of such a course on the part OF
any candidate, so far as the Chron-
icle editor is aware. The election
seemed to have been conducted in
fairness to all candidates and the re-
suit was accepted without question.
SHERIFF
Majority of Walker for sheriff over
his nearest opponent, Shaver, was II8.
His majority over Martin was 646 or
a little over five to one. Both Walker
and Shaver received some votes at
every precinct in the county; Martin
failed to receive any votes at four
precincts Crossville is the home
precinct of both Walker and Shaver !;
1t was carried by Walker by 20 votes.
At Crab Orchard, formerly the home
precinct of Walker, Shaver won by
80 votes.
TRUSTEE
For trustee Burnett won over his
nearest opponent, Jones, by 100 votes );
over Mrs. Reed by 2o1 votes. Bur
nett and Jones received some votes
at every precinct; Mrs. Reed failed to
receive any votes at three precincts.
Crossville is the home precinct of all
three of the candidates and was very
hotly contested by Burnett and Mrs.
Reed especially. Burnett won over
Mrs. Reed by II and over Jones by
I42.
REGISTER
For register Cline got the largest
vote ever cast for an unopposed cand-
date and at the same time the larg-
est percent of the total vote ever
received by an unopposed candidate.
He fell short of the total vote cast
only 38o, while candidates usually
receive little over half the vote cast
when unopposed.

his opponent, Brown, by 50 votes

to one. The majority TO rHedgecotf
was $50. Hedgecoth carried II pre-.
cincts and Randolph 4. Hedgecott
received some votes at every precinct
in the county and Rantelph failed
to receive any at three. Randolph
and Brown received exactly the same
number of votes-525.
twenty-five voting precincts were
designated this time, but four failed
to hold elections; as follows: Byrds
Branch, Waldensia, Milestone and
Plateau.
GENERAL COMPARISON.
AS compared with the vote last fall
in the presidential election, which
brought out the largest vote ever
cast in the county, there are some
interesting points. The total vote
for the county last fall was 2,o84 this
time it was 1903. In spite of this
being a Republican primary, it is ad-
mitted that several democrats voted,
taking the county as Whole
The vote at the Crossvile precinct
was greater than last fall by s. votes.
Last tall $50 votes were cast this time
400. The excessive vote at the Cross
vile precinct is due to a considerable
degree to the fact that all voters were
allowed to vote at any precinct they
chose, and as numerous persons wish
ed to come to town on business that
day, the vote was doubtless increased
by votes not strictly belonging to
this precinct by considerably ove,
so votes.
Last fall the second largest vote
cast in the county was cast at Crab
Orchard-2o2; this time Burgess cast
the second largest vote, 166 and Crab
Orchard came third with I55. Last fell
one hundred or more votes were cast
at eight precincts as follows: Cross
vile, $50; Isoline, 145; Crab Orchard.
eo2; Grassy Cove, 100; Linary, 113;I
Burgess 2o2; Vandever, 11; Burke

STATE ORPHANS HOME
APPEAL TO SCHOOL CHILDREN
Urged to Help Raise Funds to Help
This very Worthy
Institution.

To the School Children of Cumb-
erland County-Last year and the
year before we sent letters to your
teachers, asking that they tell you
about the little homeless orphan boys
and girls at the Tennessee Children's
Home in Nashville, and how much we
needed your help in raising money to
provide them with good, wholesome
food for which many of them almost
starved before they were sent to us.
and warm winter clothing which many
of them never had before, and to help
find them each home and a good
mother and father to love and cherish
them as your mothers and fathers
love and cherish you.
The response to this appeal was
wonderful and, through the help of
the school children and other friends
we have been able, during the last
year, to actually find homes for two
hundred and thirty little homeless
boys and girls and to help many other
in various ways.
This year we are going to make our
Christmas appeal to you through the
newspaper because we fell that III
this way still larger number of peo-
pie will hear of our needs and will
help us to meet them, but we want
each Of you to feel that this appeal
is to you PERSONALLY and we want
you to take this up with your class
mates, with your Sunday school, with
your fathers and mothers and all
your friends and to raise all the mon /
ey you can and send it to the Tenn
essee Children's Home Society, ooI
Acklen Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee.
We want you also to help us find
good homes for ten little boys and
twelve little girls from two to nine
years of age, and for seventeen little
babies from one to ten months of
age now in the Receiving Home.
AS you, in your own comfortable /
homes with your own good mothers
and fathers plan for the coming Christ
mas and Satnta Claus, will you not
think of these little children who have
none of these blessings and helpfnd
homes and mothers and fathers for
them? And will you not raise ALL
THE MONEY you can to help us care
for and find homes for all the other
homeless little boys and girls who
will come to US during all next year?
We are depending upon you and we
know you will help all you can, for
we are sure you have read that "It
IS not the will of your Father that
one of these little ones should perish"
Your friend,
Mrs Claude D. Sullivan, I
