Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 20.-A movie
thriller was enacted in real life today
near Kipling, N. c., when engineer
J. H. Furman, Norfolk-Southern Rail-
way, climbed out on the pilot of his
engine and scooped up three-year-old
Gertrude Collins, :toddling up the
track in front of the on-coming en-
gine.
Furman was taking twenty-five
loaded freight cars to Fayetteville
and was rounding sharp curve down
grade, when he saw the little girl. He
yanked the whistle cord, and the
emergency brake. The child was sew
enty-fve yards away. The weight Of
the cars behind was sliding the big
engine forward, when Furman climb.
ed out on the side of his engine to
the pilot and with the train moving
at ten-mile speed, pulled the little
girl to safety. Her worst injury was
a slight bruise on the head.

NO PEACE YET
Ireland And England Make No Pro.
gress in Relations

London, Sept. 17.-Relations be-
tween England and Ireland today
stood as they did before Eamon De
Valea came to London on July IA,
to discuss with Prime Minister Lloyd
George a possible basis for ending
the Irish controversy. The Sim Fein
leader yesterday made public his
note to the prime minister affirming
his stand that Irish Republican
plenipotentiaries could enter a con-
ference only as delegates of an inde-
pendent power, and Mr.. Lloyd
George quickly announced the can
collation. of his invitation of the
Irish leaders to a parley of 1nver.
ness. 1t was made plain by the prime
minister that he could meet the Sim
Fein delegates only If demands fol
separation of Ireland from the. Brit.
ish empire were abandoned, but he
did not close the door to further ex'
changes with the Republicans.
There was no indication here to-
day that either the British govern
ment or the Sim Fein would de-
nounce the truce arranged two
months ago, and resume the Gueril
la warfare that cost scores Of live:
and destroyed property valued higl
in the millions. Warfare is the las
thing either side desires, and no eff
fort, apparently will be shared tt
prevent any overt act that vii
place on either the responsibility fo1
resuming hostilities.

the home brew question was defined
by Mr.. Haynes as follows:

the home brew question was defined
by Mr.. Haynes as follows:
Mountaineering fruit juice can
De made in the home. Intoxicating
wine, home brew and distilled spirits
may not be made. Two gallons Of
mountaineering fruit juice may be
manufactured tax free by the head
of a family registering with col
lector Of internal revenue.
''This tax exemption provision
has been the source of confusion.
The effect of this is not to allow the
manufacture of 200 gallons Of intox-
icating wine free from registration
under the national prohibition act,
but merely to allow the manufacture
of 200 gallons of non-intoxicating
fruit juices free of tax" E. s:2;.g~i

Ex-KAISER'S SWISS
PUBLISHER BANKRUPT

Berne, Sept 15.-The ex-Kaiser's
publisher in Switzerland has just
gone bankrupt. During the war his
firm printed and distributed all the
propagandist publications for the
German Government and the ex-
Kaiser, and the cause Of its hank
ruptcy is said to be that large sums
are still owing the firm from Berlin

The comment Of certain Swiss
newspapers on this failure is that
dealings with William Hohenzollern
have never done one any good.

THE problem of obtaining
i uniform quality is one of
the difficulties that the sue
cessful gasoline producer has
had to solve. The matter, of
varying quality is one of the
greatest annoyances to the gas
oline user.
1t was easy to get standard
product when practically all
the gasoline came from one or
two types of crude petroleum.
Comparatively little gasoline
was used then. Today, the
demand is so great that all
parts of the globe have been
explored for petroleum, which
accounts for the great range

A Nav Day Fishing.

Once upon a time in little vii
lage in England there lived wom-
an, two children and dog named
Hero. l will tell you why they
named him Hero. One day the
mother of Ruth and Allie said: TO
morrow I will fix you a lunch and
let you go fishing" The children
were so happy that they could not
sleep for they were thinking of the
good times they would have. The
next morning they awoke very early.
Their mother had fine lunch ready
for them. They had chicken sand
wiches and some apples and cake.
Soon Ruth and Allie and Hero were
off. Hero ran ahead, he barked
so loud that he frightened the swans
in the pond. Soon the children ap-
peared and began to fish. Soon
after Allie caught a large fish. Ii
was so large and heavy that the line
broke and the board that they were
sitting on broke. Splash! Bow-wow-
WOW, was the noise that was made
Soon Hero dashed into the water and
caught hold of Ruth's dress and
pulled her out. Allie got out by
himself. They dropped their lunch
in the water, but soon two swans
came and had fine feast. Soon
Allie and Ruth went home. Allie
told his mother how the dog hae
saved his little sister from being
drowned. So after that they called
him Hero because he saved Ruth's
life.-Irene Jordan, aged 10, 24ll
