An interesting trade in the Carolina mountain counties of Ashe, Allegheny and Watauga is that in what are known as crude drugs in other words, herbs, plants, roots, etc. Some fam flies have for many years devoted all their time to gathering these from the mountainsides, live in tents and move from place to place until all the mate rials in range are gathered.

With the Primitive Houses of Snow of Their Fathers.

It is a matter of government rec ognition that the Eskimo Indians of the Pribilof islands are rapidly gain ing in sophistication. as the prices of the sealskins and blue and gray fox belts they sell mount higher and higher. Those bits of frozen land in Boring sea, whose total area is less than seventy square miles. have only about $50 inhabitants, yet they are being assailed by all the aspirations of prosperity and are beginning to buy the most interesting items the mail-order catalogues offer. So Uni- ted States engineers are building them igloos of concrete, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, thus substitut- ing the most substantial of materials for what seems. from the temperate zone viewpoint, the most ephemeral The builders, however, are careful to adhere closely to the native style of architecture.

BRITISH TRIPLE
 STRIKE IS OFF RAIL AND TRANSPORT WORKERS WILL NOT SUPPORT COAL
 MINERS. ALLIANCE IS SMASHED LLOYD GEORGE IS VICTOR, AL THOUGH MINERS STRIKE.
 CONTINUES.
Cwestern Newspaper Union News Service )

tNeStern newspaper Unl0n NeWS SefNlce)
 London, April Is = Announcement that the railway mems strike set for last night had been cancelled, was made yesterday afternoon by J. H. Thomas, general secretary of the railway mems union.
 The transport workers strike also has been called off, Mir. Thomas an- nounced.
 ''As far as the railway men and transport workers are concerned, the strike is canceled,'' he said.
 No explanation was immediately available of the railroad mems action, but it was thought in some quarters that it might indicate a split in the triple alliance.
 Announcement that the triple strike was off came few minutes after Pre- mier Lloyd George had announced in the House of Commons that the miners had refused to open negotiations for a settlement of their strike on the basis that had been suggested.
 The calling of a conference of rep resentatives of the miners from all the coal fields at date to be fixed later was decided upon by the executive of the miners federation. It took this action after hearing the decision of the railway men and transport workers to cancel their sympathetic strike.
 Frank Hodges, the miners secretary, when questioned regarding this deci- sion, said it meant that the miners strike would continue.
 If I had resigned I should not be giving you this report" he added, re- ferring to rumors that he had been busted as representative of the union.
 The prime minister read a letter from the miners federation stating that the only condition on which a tenn pOrary settlement could be reached was one which must follow concession of the two principles of a national wage board and a national pool.
 The premier said that upon the ques tion of a national settlement of wages the government already had expressed a favorable opinion, but on the ques- tion of a national pool it regarded such a pool as injurious to the whole coun- try because it involved the re-establish ment of government control. The gov ernment declined to accept this, he said.
 The breaking away from the triple alliance of the railway men and the transport workers on. the miners re- jectfon of the moderate course recom- mended by Mir. Hodges with view to securing a temporary adjustment of the wage dispute, seems to have brought matters to a crisis where it was imperative to take a decision one way or another.
 Mr. Hodges, it is declared, was se- verely criticised by his colleagues for having made what was termed peace offer to members of the House of Con- mons without authority.
 Although the general situation is considered to have greatly improved, the government has not relaxed it's measures, military or otherwise.
 The mine owners issued another statement repeating their previous stated opinion that the wages of the lower paid men ought to be adjusted and declaring they still were ready to meet the miners in conference.

Program of Financial Confer.
ences Planned by Harding.
First Farley Today to Decide
Fate of Fordney Act.

Washington, March IA program
OF financial exchange to run thruout
the Harding administration will be
prepared at conferences beginning to-
day at the capitol.
These conferences will be attended
by Republican members of the senate
committee, the house ways and means
committee, Representative Good, chair
man of the house appropriations COM
mittee; Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion and a corps of his experts.
Today's session will be preliminary
to discussion of whether tariff or
revenue legislation should have prefer
ence in the new congress and whether
the tariff bill should be revived, first
thru a temporary or emergency bill
and later thru enactment of perma-
nent schedules. Several days are to be
consumed in the discussions.
The difference which existed be-
tween the house and senate on the
financial program have virtually been
ironed out. The program now most
favored is the enactment INN ediately
|of an emergency tariff bill, much like
then revision of taxes to get rid of the
excess profits tax and certain annoy
ing war taxes.
This will be followed by permanent
tariff revision. Such a program, lead.
ers estimate, would require many
month.
They intend, however, to insure Re-
publican unity of action, according to
Senator Penrose. by binding all Re-
publicans in caucus to support the
program agreed upon, provided it is
approved by Harding, to whom the
results of the conferences beginning
today will be reported.
