BABY RESCUED FROM
GASOLINE EXPLOSION

Movie serials have by no means any
ortion on thrills. says Manager Wells
of the Ncwberry opera house who has
lust seen prcview Of a Kiss in
Time new Wanda Hawlcy picture
which will be shown at his theatre
Thursday.
Not Only is a Kiss in Time full
of laughs, says Mr.. Wells, but there
is in it one of the best planned thrills

a Snowman.
a baby is seen playing near a
gasoline tank wagon. y leak is car
rying the dangerous fluid along the
road fer some distance, towards a
spot where careless!y thrown match
lies smouldering. The gasoline ig-
mites, and the flames run back toward
the wagon. Just before i gets to the
tank the hero rusheS in, grabs the ba-
by and gets it to safety before the
tank explodes.
"Audences can always be counted
on to be interested in baby, and
the suspense in this episode is excel
lert., 1t must have taken real nerve.

to put over the stunt in the face OF
such actual danger The force of the
explosion knocks him to the ground.

ba.,k here for an aeon or two.
Thus it is that Midway is today. as
it was in 1900 when Landgrave Smith
came to the Carolinas armed with =
kings grant of 10000 acres. to have
and to hold, and to do with as he Jolly
we'll plcaSed His title was Land
grave and he was governor Of Caro-
lima. He built himself a stone and
plaster house in 1892 arG thai house,
stained to beautiful chrome, still
stands and is still lived in by his de-
scendants.
What can be- said of that house and
those grounds where time ceases ta
be? The oaks are the largest and the
moss is the longest in Carolina, anu
all around il is silence that is both
soothing and disturbing. 1t is like a
Baudelaire poem and'a Poe's short
story. The Fall of the House of
Usher" might have beer written
there. 1t has Materlincklin qualities
that might have appealed to Debussy.
1t is tragic, ghostly and unspeakably
lovely, and withal it has tincture Of
decay about it. 1t is a magnificent
setting for a neurotic work and yet
it is the healthiest place in the world.
Possibly it is only the fruitage of IN
finite leisure and report mellowcd
with age.
Through it all sleeps Landgrave
Smith, in little burial plot among
the cedars, and shining down upon
him is one ray of moonlight, while
round about him the wh;p-poor-wills
and mock;ng birds sing heart-break-
ingly sweet tones. What care he for
neurasthenic interspections? With
him life is not febrile, and when he
lived and stalked the land, the busl-
ness Of life was a very real thing.
There were slaves to be worked and
cared for; 10000 acres were under
rice, cotton and indigo. His politics
were Tory and his religion the Church
of England. His nearest neighbor
was twelve miles away. And there
were his race horses and the African
dwarfs he brough: over.as jockeys.
Surely Midway plantation, for that
was its name, was a world IN itself.
Parnassus and Arrarat were the clos
est neighbors, ana, while there were
adjoining plantations, they were half
days ride and there were no party
line telephones and no f. +. D., and
no mail order houses, and so he had
his family and slaves were sufficient
unto themselves and were as isolated
as if they had lived in q castle and
had drawn up the bridge over the
noat.

Plenty Of Hunting

Well, the rice growing petercd out,
and while the dykes and sluiceways
are still there, there is nothing on the
plantation but deer and alligatorS,
and so every year the descendants,
Augustine P. Stoney and Capt. Sam
Stoney, invite their friends for deer
hunt. The hound dawgs are untether-
ed, the Yule logs cut and away they
go to bag the crashing buck and the
timid doe. What shall it be-terra-
pin, duck, grouse or venison for din
ner? While up here in Pittsbmg we
have storage warehouse chicken.
Stretching down in front Of the
house for distance of mile or
more is the esplanade or mall; it real
ly looks as if it stretched right out to
the Golden Gate. Over at the side
are the cabins or quarters for the ne
groes. In the back are the deserted
rice fields and forests in which the
deer roam at will. On one side is the
huge pond, where the alligators bark
or moan, or whatever that curious
sound is they make when they call
I; their mates. I shall have to ask my
travelling bag to find out.
(Note for all hunting and fishing
clubs thinking Of migrating. Carry It
with you. Sahara is moist compared
to a Southern plantation.)
These Southern. gentlemen who now
use the plantations are fine race.
They should be, as their stoc e. S

we consider 'idealistic. As TO cour-
tesy and fine feeling, We would do
we'll to borrow some Of their tradi-
tions. The difference, it seems to me,
between a Northerner and a South
erner is this: To the Northerner eV-
erv man is to be suspected until he
finds out he can be trusted; while to
the Southerner no man is regarded
suspiciously-and then the Southern
er wakes up. Personally | prefer the
Southern way. It is freer and a lot
more sporting. \ society built on

In Germany
Industrial Unrest Is Begin
ming to Manifest Itself
Beneath Surface of In
creased Trade Activity
spcciaI Cable to The Trib,1nc


Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc
BERLIN, Nov. 6-With the mark
houndering around the fantastic
depths of 256 to the dollar, Germany
now realizes more than ever the effect
of her transform alton of the monetary
system into a purely paper one.
The effect of the persistent decline
of the mark is shown daily in the do
mestic market. Prices are rising
rapidly in all commodities. During the
week there has been a wild rush in
wholesale and retail houses to buy up
everything in sight before prices at
tain what is regarded as prohibtive
heights. In Berlin, especially. all ware
houses and stores are being rapidly
cleared
A similar rush is to be found in the
market for securities, where buyers are
feverishly seeking to convert cash and
war bonds into industrial stocks or
other real values. This movement is
particularly apparent among holders of
war bonds and other government paper.
They are seeking desperately to unload
such holdings before the mark loses
even its present small value of three
pfennigs.
Foreigners with large deposits in
German banks, who were slow at first
to realize the movement here. are now
eagerly buying up all available indus
trial securities, feeling that whatever
the fate of the mark and Germany's
financial structure her Industrial posi-
tion Will remain firmly fixed for con-
siderable period. 1t is argued that with
the present standing of the mark, for
eign countries Will be virtually unable
to compete with Germany.
All plants are working to their full
est capacity with new orders coming in
in an uninterrupted stream, while
profits ACQUIRING by payments in foreign
currencles are mounting into fabulous
sums expressed in marks. That is why
industrial securities in sight, hoping to
recuperate in this fashion losses in
speculations in marks.
Industry has been able to continue
its progress in the face of the devalori-
zation Of the mark, as is evidenced by
the report just issued on unemploy-
ment. showing & remarkable decrease
in the last few months. At the end of
October there were slightly more than
189 900 idle, against about half mil
lion seven months ago. In February
the government paid out 1879 100000
marks in unemployment insurance, but
in October this sum had been reduced
to 100000.
In fact, it is generally agreed that
there is less unemployment in Germany
to-day than in 1918, a normal peace
time year. There are growing ipdica-
tions, however, that before long Ger
many will have to face serious clashes
between capital and labor.
In general the industrial and finan-
cial situation is rapidly beginning to
Germany alone of the great industrial
nations Of the world is working full
blast.

4. S. Yarns Investors
Against Foreign Bonds

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--Ameri-

by the Commerce Department to
exercise care in purchasing foreign
bonds payable in deprecated cur
rencies in the expectation OF
realizing enormous profits when
exchange values return to normal.
Certain concerns, the department
said, are Offering for sale national,
municipal and industrial issues ex-
pressed in deprecated currencies,
which represent only a small frac-

value. This, the department added,
