C. Shores, candidate for sheriff OF

Mr.. NJ. G. Gulley,

Dear Sir:
Mr.. c. C. Shores of my county is
acandidate for the Democratic nom
nation for Sheriff. The opposition
to Mr.. Shores candidacy is circulat
ing amongst the people OF this
county the accusation that when he
was Federal Prohibition Agent he
was charged with Selling, stealing
and selling liquor. They further
claim that they have evidence that
he broke into the United States Gus
toms House at Wilmington and took
several cases of whiskey and thar
some Of it was given to Honorable
Fl. L. Goodwin, then candidate for
nomination for congress, and thar
the balance was sold by the case.
II there was any truth to these
charges take it that you as Chief
Federal Prohibition Agent for the
State Of North Carolina at that time
made q thorough investigation OF
the charges.
As a citizen of this county, | de-
sire to be fully informed as to
whether or not these charges were
ever made against Mr.. Shores. In
the event that they were made, !
desire to know whether they were
proved to be true or feise.
Yours very truly,
]. C. LEIGH.

ENGINEERS APPROVE SCHEME
II viii Take Some Time to Make
Change as Laws In Many States
Require Red Lamps-Repiaee-
ment Won't Be Costly.

Automobile engineers are consider
Ing the advisability Of using yellow in
place Of red tail lights so as to min
Ing lights placed along highways to
indicate dangerous road conditions
with automobile tail lights.
Many accidents occur owing to mo-
torists being confused in this way.
The red light or the rear of the rail-
road trains is probably the origin of
the red tail light of automobiles. The
railroad train operates on a track and
the rear end of that train is dangerous
because a train following cannot turn
out TO avoid the preceding train. AS
automobiles do not operate on tracks,
however. an automobile following an
other can generally turn out and pass
it. 1t will thus be appreciated that the
rear end of an automobile is danger
Gus only when 1t is slowing down or
standing at the roadside. The use of
red lights in automatic or manually
operated stop signals for the rear of
automobiles is therefore logical.
The members of the passenger car
and motor truck standardization COM
mittees of the Society of Automotive
Engineers national engineering So
ciety of over 5000 engineers and ex-
ecutives of automobile and other auto
motive manufacturers, have studied
this proposed change and generally ap-
prove of it. The fact, however, that
the use of red lights is required by
law in many states will mean that
the change to yellow tail lights cannot
be made until the laws in these states
are revised.
1t will, they point out, take some
time to bring about any complete
change from red to yellow tail lights,
but once the wisdom of making such a
change is fully appreciated by motor
fists, legislators will see that the state
highway laws are revised to permit
the change. The use of existing tail
lamps will in no case be affected, as
1t will be possible to obtain yellow
lamp glasses to replace the red lamp
glasses now in service, If such re-
placement is wished by the individual
owners.
The use of yellow as an automobile
tail light will have an exact parallel
in railway operation, inasmuch as yell
low Is used by the railroads as a eau
tion light. This is really what the
tail light of an automobile Is intended
to be, to caution the following machine
that care must be exercised in over
taking and passing other automobiles

San Diego. Cal, In letter to Presi-
dent Harding has appealed to him to
ask for the setting aside of the small
amount of pay that will keep those so
old sea heroes from starvation. II the
reduction should go through. He says
that there are two simple means
whereby the unfortunate condition
could now be remedied.
The first Is to transfer those of
ficers to the regular service as an
extra number in the grade out Of the
line of regular promotions and retain
them for service on auxiliary ships.
The second is that retirement pay
privileges equal to those accorded reg
ular officers should at least be pro-
vided. The latter would cost the gov
ernment only 100000 year.

Old Naval Officers Face Hard Times

EIFTY-NINE old sea dogs of the
L American navy are in trouble. This
Is a group of naval officers who In
some cases have served as far back us
1898 and were formerly officers of the
naval auxiliary service. 1t appears
that In the days in which they took an
active part in the navy, they received
some sort Of an indefinite promise that
they would never be relieved from
duty as long as they were alive. and
also that in later years their families
would receive pensions. The branch
Of the service in which they served
was organized In 1898 to command
naval supply vessels. But in the emer-
gency of 1917 congress arbitrarily
forced these old-time auxiliary officers
Into the newly organized naval reserve.
Under their auxiliary organization
they were accorded the same amount
Of pay and other benefits as the regu-
lars. But since their enforced entry
Into the naval reserve of 1917 they
have become part of the organized
reserve. which under the present naval
bill will be greatly reduced.

was the first officer of the supply ship
