High enthusiasts who are to make the
Durant trip en- masse back Boys in
their assertions. But the former Okla
homa athlete, not resting on his mems
laurels, is pushing his track and field
men to the limit in the final week that
remains before them, knowing what a
display of power will be necessary to

track squad which was the sensation
Of both the Southeastern and State
meets last year.
While extremely confident of his dash
men, the coach is basing his points on
the husky little Mart Brown, entered in
the shot and discus events, to set the
local squad far in the front in these
events. Brown, who has steadily
gained form throughout the year, is
hurling the discus around the 107-foot
mark, one which surpassed the Okla
homa university entrants during the re-
cent Oklahoma-Baylor dual meet, and
which is a record for the Durant track.
Elmer Slough, one of the best all.around
athletes of the local institution, is fol
lowing close upon the heels Of Brown
in this event. In addition to hurting
the discus, Brown Is expected to place
high in the shot, putting the 12-pound
oval Al feet in Fridays workout Ad-
ans, Junior High youngster, is also
expected to place high in the Durant
tilt with his mark of over 40 feet.

AT mass meeting Of prominent

District, which was held on We'd
nesday, Dec. 18th, at Bristol, Va.
State Senator Harry Flood Byrd,
of Winchester, was una nimously
endorsed for Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, to
succeed his uncle, the late Rep
H. D. Flood.
Senator Byrd has recently re-
ceived numerous letters from
Democrats in various sections of
the state endorsing him for State
Chairman and urging him to &C.
cept the leadership of the Demo-

that the election of the State

High School Report.

The report of the State Inspector O
High Schools, Hon. Henry g. Ellis, has
just been filed in the office of the div.
ision superintendent.
This report gives his complete rating
of the five first grade high schools Of
the County and Of Toms Brook, which
is doing three years work.
Mr.. Ellis has approved all of these
schools and placed them on the ac-
credited list for the present year. How
ever, he has made recommendations
covering the following points:
First That laboratory equipment for
chemistry, agriculture and first year
science in all our schools is Inadequate
Secondhand library facilities in
some of the schools are below the
standard required by the State.
Third-In some schools the grades
are so crowded that the teachers can
not do their best work and the rating
of the schools is consequently in danger.
This is especially true in Woodstock
and Strasburg High Schools.

In the dim ages Of history when mar
trst felt the desire for beauty, trader:
searched the world for dyestuffs, Jew
els, perfumes, sQlceS and precious
woods. The risk OF these voyages was
great and only princes or mobiles could
afford the fruits of ventures to the tar
corners Of the world. No man oil
humble origin could aspire to the rich
crlmsoned linen, the Royal Purple OF
ancient Tyre, retailing at $500 a pound
Royal Purple is an age-old insignia
Of aristocraey. This dye was secreted
by a small shellhsh on the Eastern
coast OF the Mediterranean and here
the enterprising merchants Of Tyre
formed a dye monopoly equaled only
by the German Cartel.
A bit of the whitish liquid secreted BY
this mollusk, il spread upon cloth
and exposed to the air and sun ght

Synthetic chemistry learned the Sc
cret of making Royal Purple as, in
deed, it learned to manufacture indigo,

today In museums, the winding sheets
OF Egyptian mummies. 1t was an
achievement to snatch its distinctive
color from royalty and to rival the
best vegetable indigo of the an
clients but modern chemistry has
gone far beyond that To-day any kind
of dye found in nature can be made in
