THE NORFOLK AND
WILMINGTON HIGHWAY

WILMINGTON HIGHWAY
Mr.. Frank Hassell, who has just
returned from a visit to his father,
Elder Sylvester Hassell, of William
ston, gives us some interesting in
formation regarding the military
highway between Norfolk and Will
mington, a project which the gov
ernment is supporting. to be used
for transportation of troops and
supplies in case of war from it's base
at Norfolk and Newport News.
A stupendous amount of work is
being done On this road and the cost
will be considerable. The bridge
across the Roanoke river exclusive
of the abuttments is 1850 feet in
length and will cost over a half mil
lion dollars. The roa force is cut
ting through four miles Of the Co
nine swamp on the Bertie county
side and building a highway through
this heretofore almost impossible
section.
Martin county has donated $780,
900 to the building of this road and
Bertie county $4,000, the rest of
the money being furnished by the
government.

TROUBLED GOLFER

TROUBLED GOLFER
His eye was wild and his face was taut
with anger and hate and rage,
And the things he muttered were much
too strong for the ink OF the print
ed page.
I found him there when the dusk
came down, in his golf clothes still
was he,
And his clubs were strewn around his
feet, as he told his grief to me:
I'D an easy five for a seventy nine
in sight of the golden goal
An easy five and took an eight
an eight on the eighteenth hole,
I've dreamed my dreams Of the sew
enty men. and I've worked year
after year,
have vowed 1 would stand with the
| chosen few ere the end OF my
| golf career;
I've cherished the thought OF seventy
score. and the days have come
and gone
And I've never been close to the golden
goal my heart was set upon.
But today stood on the eighteenth
tee and counted that score OF
mine.
And my pulses raced with the thrill OF
1oy-rd a five for a seventy-nine,
II can kick the ball from the elxh-
teenth tee and get this hole IN
five.
But I took tho wood and I tried te
cross that ditch with a might,

to imagine his language rich.

WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS.

ship. May nations know too much OF
each other to remain on good terms?
Speaking at the Institute OF Politics at
Williamstown, DIR. Manoel de Ouveria
LAMA suggests that mutual ignorance
between nations docs no harm" This
is quite contrary to the usual theory.
England and America. especially,
have been told again and again that
all their Misunderstanding would be
cleared away II they knew each other
better. Such has been the burden OF
hands across the sea" oratory for
many years. None the less. as usually
happens between relatives, there are
recurring causes OF irritation between
them, as Lord Balfour's singular let
ter freshly illustrates. The irritation
will pass this time. az before. But is
not liking relatives just a habit?

Of this city has just issued a bulletin
in which the ordinary directions for
saving life by means of artificial res

clearly that anyone can easily learn,
remember and prt ctice them IL tho OPP
portunity occurs. They are as follows:
Lay the patient on his stomach with
arms extended ahead to expand the
chest, and face to ono side to permit
free breathing. Clear tho mouth OF
mucus, tobacco. false teeth, eto.
Loosen clothing at throat. In case
OF drowning. first clap your hands
under the patients stomach. lift him
several times. letting the head hang
down to drain out tho water and
have the patients head lower than
his body before starting artificial
respiration. Place a stick Of wood. n
lcoat rolled up. or both--if they are al
hand-under the pit of the stomach
Don't walt for anything, but start
At once.
Kneel, straddling the patients thighs
with palms OF your hands on hit
loins; with your thumbs nearly touch.
ing and your fingers spread over hi,
lowest or floating ribs.
First motion: Slowly swing youl
body forward until your weight 10 or
your hands. This presses the air ou
Of the lungs.
Second notion: Swing back on e
| your knees TO relieve the pressure
This allows the chest 20 expand an,
draws air into the lungs.
Keep up these motions CONSTANT,
! and deliberately at the rate Of from
16 to 20 4 minute. about AZ fast O.
you breathe, Don't give up too soon
: and don't give anything by mouth un
{ ltil patient Is fllly conscious.
