 General Chang, he said went to Pe- king last week during the progress of popular demonstrations against Chna's direct negotiations with Japan at the Washington conference.

KIWANIS MEETING.

Yesterday afternoon at 6:15 the
Kiwanians sixty strong gathered
around the long table at the Farmers
Picnic grounds to partake of the fried
chicken prepared by his excellency
Will Taylor and his aide Marvin
Lewis. Not only was the feed well
prepared and abundant but Kiwanis
spirit was in the air. Mr.. Brison of
Community Service was there and
led the singing. He has a splendid
voice and is a master in leading.
Several we'll known songs at the be-
ginning and the end were indulged
in and were much enjoyed.
The attendance prize was out Of
a letter from Lennox Rawlings which
upon endorsement would cause the
lucky one to have delivered in his
back yard a half ton of his choice
prize and as he does not practice
housekeeping in our city the letter
will be handed over to a charitable
organization. The silent boost was a
cake of Kirk-Olive soap for each man,
the gift of Calvin Woodard.
The oral boost was given by John
Elmendorf, a most interesting paper
on the making of glass. John gave
in the minutest detail the whole pro-
cess of glass making from the melting
to the polishing. He explained the
different kinds of glass and urged
consideration of plate glass for win
dows to the prospective home builder.
He said that considering the cost of
wall construction windows were by
far the cheapest part of the house.
and plate glass would add more than
any one had any idea.
The crowning event of the evening
was the extemporaneous speech of
President Bill Lucas. Bill has been
absent for the last two meetings here
because he was elsewhere attending
meetings and conferences of Kiwanis
He was so filled with the spirit that
said there were three things in XII

regarding them The first of these is

mean that the steel business and
other trades affected by railroad de-
velopment would have to take back
many of the men they have laid off,
Mr.. Harding pleaded with Congress
to act on the railroad bill before it
recessed so that an improvement in
the industrial situation might result
but the Senate refused to allow the
plea to interfere with its plans for a
months vacation.
Fourth, Congress has debated first
the tariff and then the revenue bill
and has failed to pass either one.
The Administration has urged action
right along contending that the busi-
ness men of the country want to
know what their taxes will be before
they make any plans for expansion
or the reopening of factories now
closed down. 1t is practically as diff
knowing the size of the years tax bill
as to try to get along without know
ing from week to week or year to
year what the payroll will be. Bust
ness petitioned Congress to hurry up.
and get the tax bill through by July
1st so that planning could be done
during the summer months. Now it
Will be late autumn before there will
be a revenue bill. The Administration
will have to keep Congress constantly
reminded OF its duty to get results
on the tax bill, the passage of which
is expected to stimulate business.
The unemployment conference is
generally commended in Washington
as a move in the direction of discov-
ering the true facts but when any
body asks an administration official
what is to be done with the facts,
what remedies are proposed, the in
evitable answer is a shrug of the
shoulders and the expression of a,
hope that Congress will take heed
and employ itself with pending legis-
lation.

ours have these things and if we are

surely we will work to the end that
these things shall come to pass. The
speaker said there were many other
things on his mind but he would de-

things thought out when we can
get together on some propositions to

Secures 3 to o Victory over Suffolk.

Ordinary. Wilson now Five full
Games in Lead.
Yesterday afternoon at Wilson
League Park, before one OF the
smallest crowds of the season, the
Bugs won the opening game of the
series from Suffolk by the score of
to o. At all stages of the game the
contest was interesting, and both
teams played a game worthy a much
larger crowd The team from Suffolk
does not in the least resemble one
that has recently given up much of
it's strength to bolster a sister city,
for every man on the Suffolk organ
ization gave a good account of him
self, and at all times the Bugs were
forced to go the limit. Suffolk has
just secured the services of Brown,
Leid and Woodburn from the Tar
boro Club, or rather these men were
taken on when released, and they
have added strength somewhat to the
Cats
The game opened with neither side
scoring until the third inning. Wilson
scored two in this frame, and anoth-
er in the fifth. Suffolk threatened in
the third, seventh and ninth but
superlative pitching on the part of
Joliff and magnificent support in the
pinches on the part of his team mates
prevented a score.
Joliff on the mound for Wilson,
and the elongated Mr.. Slappey twirl-
ing for Suffolk were both in rare form
and gave good accounts of them
selves. Joliff allowed nine hits to the
six secured off Slappey, but in the
pinches Joliff was much steadier
Five of the six hits secured by Will
son came in two innings, and these
five hits were aided by three bases
on balls Three bases on balls and
the five hits coming together in the
two frames gave us our three runs.
In addition Slappey walked two 9TH
ers and hit batsman. Thruout he
was rather wild, but hits were rather
scarce from the Wilson viewpoint
AS has been the case recently, how
ever, the Wilson team has cashed in
to the limit on hits secured and the
three runs were ample. Joliff walked
but two men, famed five and was in
vincible in the pinches. His twirling
was aided greatly by three fast
double plays, and by great catches
on the part of Miller and Kline The
all round playing of Miller and Kline,
the fielding of Martin, and the timely
hitting of Roth and Walters featured
the play of the Bugs, while the good
work of Kellerman and Parker
stood out for ehe, Cats.
Our runs were secured in the fol-
lowing manner:
In the third inning Martin led of
with hit to Parker, Smith was out
on fly to Brown, Martin was caught
stealing Burns to Kellerman, Walker,
walked Walters doubled sending
Walker to third, Roth cracked out a
scorching single scoring both Walker
and Walters, and Miller was thrown
out by Kellerman. Again in the fifth
we scored in the following manner:
With one out Smith walked and
scored on successive singles by Wal
ker and Walters.
