r. L. Strowd Smoked
Enjoyed Cigarettes on the Sly at
Michigan SanatOrium

Before Robert L. Strowd,
Chapel Hills capitalist, went to
the sanatorium in Battle Creek,
Michigan, three or four weeks
ago, he had a woe-begone ex-
preston. Persons not in Mr..
Strowd's confidence might have
supposed that he was concerned
about his health.
Not so at all. What made him
downcast was that an acquaint-
ance of his had told him they
didn't allow smoking at the Bat
tie Creek place. It was the pros
pect of being robbed of his Gig
arettes that made him look for
ward. to his stay there with
dread. But the doctor had told
him to go, and he went.
A few days ago he came back,
happy and smiling. 'Did they
stop you from smoking?" l
asked him when we met on the
stree.
''They had a rule against it, !"
he said, ''but it didn't trouble
us. A bunch of us patients
would go across the street to a
yard and smoke all we wanted
to. | don't know whose yard it
was. 1t may have belonged to
the sanatorium for all I know.
Anyway, nobody interfered with
us and we made ourselves at
home. 1t made me think of the
time | was a small boy and Slip
ped off from home against or
ders."
Mr.. Strowd was amazed at
the extent of the sanatorium
and at the doctors remark
able familiarity with every
visitors anatomy.
"They had a machine there"
he said, "by which they could
tell the strength of every mucle
in your body. 1t was almost un-
canny what they could find out
about you. The head of the place,
a DR.. Kellogg, was 73 or "a
years old, and he was running
around like young boy. He
hasn't eaten a piece of meat in
40 years.
''They have menu with
scores of articles of food in it.
Everybody who goes there has
his name put on a menu card,
and then an expert checks off
the things you may eat. The
copy is then given to the woman
who is the dietician, and she
sees that you get everything
that is marked. In a day they
gave me from 9 to II different
things to eat. Some people go
there to fatten up and some to
train down. A big fat man sat
next to me. They were training
him down. | noticed that his
days allotment of butter was
about the size of a butterbean.
You could almost see the fat
falling off Of him as the days
passed. Now, with me it was
dilferent-they were trying to
put flesh on me, and | was to
have the most fattening foods.
Toward the last they turned
me loose and let me roam
through the menu at will"
While Mr.. Strowd was on this
trip he visited his son Wallace
in Madison, Wisconsin. He also
stayed several days in Detroit
and from there made a number
OF sorties into Canada.

STRESS FARMING
IN NEGRO SCHOOL
Leaders of Race Place Great EN-
phasis on Agricultural
Work
IN NEW BUILDING SOON

AS they make ready to enter
the new building of the Orange
County Training School, the
negroes of Chapel Hill are plan
ming to put more and more en-
phasis upon agricultural educa-
tion. The spacious , grounds a.
round the structure-the plot
covers six acres-will give ample
room for practical demonstra-
tions, and the teachers are going
to make the most of the oppor-
tunity.
agriculture is the base upon
which we. are building our sue
cess" said B. l.. Bozeman, the
principal, yesterday. 1T is this
training in modern farming
which is giving the school it's
reputation and which is destin-
ed to do more than anything else
to lift the negro people who come
withing the schools sphere of
influence to an ever higher level
of prosperity and good health
full living.
eve have been particularly
pleased to learn of the excellent
work our graduates are doing
away from here; and they write
back to us that it is mainly to
their agricultural courses here
that they owe their high stand
ing"
Frank Merritt and Robert
Battle who graduated last year,
are at the Hampton Agricul-
tural and Normal Institute in
Virginia, and Fred Hargraves,
another graduate, is at the
Durham State Normal. These
three composed a prize-winning
team in Judging live stock and
crops at the Raleigh State Fair
last fall, and they led in aca-
demic subjects as we'll Another
student who has gone to Hamp-
ton is Arlena Riggsbee.
The farming instruction given
III the Orange County Training
School is intensely practical.
The boys and girls have what
are called "projects;;" that is,
they carry on farming opera
tlOns Of their own at their own
homes, under the constant di-
rection Of their teachers. They
are taught modern methods in
rlanting, in the care Of gardens,
IN he raising Of poultry and
cattle and swine, and in mark
citing. They keep daily records
Of what they do, and these rec
ords are studied and criticized
in the classroom.
Julia Caldwell, Joseph Rig
gsbee, and Arthur McMaster
won prizes with their projects
this year. To the girl went the
pure-bred Barred Rocks offered
by Professor j. D. Wray as a
chicken prize; and the boys won
money prizes by their achieve
ments with swine and vegeta-
bles.
The agricultural students, as
an extra activity,are planning to
beautify the grounds around the
11n1xy school L,,;1J;oo.
Monday, October 20, week
after next, is the day when the
negroes hope to get into the
building. The framework and
roof were finished some time
ago, and the plastering and the
laying of floors has been going
ahead rapidly these last few
days. 7T-7-F'''--

INTEREST ON PROPERTY
SEIZED BY U. s. is LOST

Persons whose property was
taken inadvertently under the
trading with the enemy act" and
who may be found entitled to the
return of the property or the
amount received from its sale by
the Alien Property Custodian, are
not entitled to the increment re-
sulting from investments Of the
proceeds arising from the sale of
such property, according to q de-
1cision handed down today by the
Court OF Appeals.
The appellate court upheld the
decision OF the lower court which
had granted Mrs. Helene Al. Kny,
Of New York, as exec1trix Of the
estate Of her husband, Richard
Kny, 1894, 1852 being the proceeds
from the sale of 1000 shares Of

'SLUSH' REPORT
DUE BEFORE
ELECTION
Findings viii Be Made Public
Though Incomplete G. Q.
r. Rldicules Charges

Members OF the Senate COM
mittee which is investigating the
financing Of the Presidential CAM
paign were still uncertain today
as to what kind of report they
should make to the country on
the eve Of the election.
Meeting in executive session in
the office Of Chairman Borah, the
committee received final state
Tnents of receipts and disburse-
ments from the treasurers Of the
three major political parties and
went over some of the evidence
presented here and in Chicago in
support Of the charges that both
the Republicans and Progressives
have not accounted for all the
money used in the campaign.
Il 1t were not for the election to-
morrow and the fact that some
statement from the committee seems
to be expected before the polls
open, there would be no report on
the campaign fund investigation
until it is concluded. = The commit
tee feels, however, that it should
make some concession to the public
desire for its views even If they
are based upon an incomplete ex.
animation of all the facts.
A unanimous report from the
committee, it was pointed out, may
not be possible, Senator Borah is
the only Republican who has taken
Fart in the inquiry. Caraway Of
Arkansas, and Bayard, Of Della
ware, are Democrats, while Ship.
stead, Of Minnesota, is a Farmer
Laborite and q supporter of Sena-
tor LaFrollette. This lineup would
make it possible tor Caraway, Bay.
ard and Shipstead, II they SO de.
sired, to unite in a majority re-
port supporting the LaFollette
"slush fund" charges, leaving Il to
Borah to make a minority report
in opposition II he felt the charge
had not been proven.
1 In view of this situation and the
feeling on the part OF all members
OF the committee that a more com.
plete investigation should be made,
an agreement may be reached for
the committees prediction report
to be limited to the publication OF
the final financial reports of the
party treasurers. Comment, how.
ever, could be made by the com.
mittee members as individuals.
Replying to- the charge Of Frank
2. Walsh, attorney for Senator la
Toilette, that the banking house Of
J. p. Morgan had 'underwritten'
the Republican campaign fund,
Weymouth Kirkland, who repre-.
scented the Republican national com
mittee before the committee, de-
clared today that there had been
mo evidence and not even sug.
gestion" in the evidence to sup.
port this charge.

RUNAWAY
RETURNS
HOME
Mary Thompson, is, scoIded
by Parents, Spent Night
in Baltimore

Because she had been reprimand-
ed about her work in school, Mary
Costello Thompson, fifteen, ran
away from her home, 1924 Forty
fourth street, last night, while her
parents were at nearby fire. She
returned today and told her parents
that she had spent the night in
Baltimore.
Yesterday her parents are said
to have scolded her for her work
in school, and while the reprimand
was mild, she was sensitive about
II. A little later, when they were
at the fire, she disappeared.
The parents telephoned all her
friends to no avail. Finally they
notified the police, who started a
city-wide search.

a large share in determining the re.
suit
Eleven of these Senatorial contests
are not contests at all They are
in States south of the Mason Dixon
line, where Democratic victory can
be placed in the same category of
certainties as death and taxes. A
hait-dozen others are in border
States, or States frequently Demo
cratic, such as Oklahoma and New
Mexico. So it can be seen that, al
ways barring a landslide such as
occurred in 1920. the Democrats are
in q fairly enviable position as re-
CARDS the Senate.
The House is much more con-
fused. There the Republicans. now
have a paper majority that doesn't
work, due to the insurgent tncIina-
tons of some sixteen Republicans
from the Northwest.
Publicly, Republican managers are
claiming that tomorrow win give
them clear working majority; of
fifty seats, but privately their
claims do not run that high. Some
outstanding Republican leaders have
confessed they will consider them.
selves fortunate to pick up twenty
seats. These figures are all based.
or course, on the expectation there
VIII be no Republican avalanche as
in 1920.

tutionality of that act was upheld
because it dealt with the conges.
ton of the city of Washington, re-
Bultlng from the war, although the
net went to the verge of the law.
The act Of August a, 1921, pur-
ported to continue the rent law in
force with some amendments until
May %. 1922.
"on The latter date there was e.
further declaration by Congress Of
the continued existence Of the
emergency giving rise to the original
act which with further amendments
was extended until May, 1924.
The decision of the Supreme
Court In the Chastleton case was
announced April "a. 1924. On May
al. 1924, Congress purported to con-
stiEue the rent law in force until
May %, 1926.
1T thus appears that this emery
ency legislation, originally limited
to expire in 1921, has been pro.
longed by successive extensions
until the middle of 1925, period Of
more than five and one-half years."
Reviews Chastlet0n Case.
Reviewing the opinion. of the
United States Supreme Court in the
Chastleton case, Justice Robb adds.
The court then declared that it
was not necessary to inquire how
Tar It might go in deciding the
question of the passing of the
emerg ency for itself, on the prin.
ciples ennueiated in certain cited
cases, adding These cases show that
the court may ascertain as il sees
ut any fact that is merely ground
for laying down a rule of law. and
Il the question were merely whether
the statute is in force today upon
the facts that we judicially know
we~should be compelled to say that
the law has ceased to operate
In as much as the case before
the court involved conditions IN
Washington at different dates in the
past, the court remanded the case
that evidence might be taken in
the trial court.
In other words, the court ruled
as we read the opinion that, al.
though it Judicially knew that the
emergency giving rise to the enact.
ment of the legislation had ceased
to exist on the date of the opinion,
It was not prepared without evil
dence to declare such emergency at
an end on the date of the order
Of the rent commission.
Denies Constitutional Basis.
''The order here involved was en-.
tered subsequent to this authori-
tative ndeclaration BY the Supreme
Court, namely on May 2, 1924.
While 1t is true that after such
declaration, or on May II, 1924,
Congress purported to continue the
leg sla ion in. force for still another
year, there was no constitutional
basis for the legislation, the Su.
preme Court having declared the
emergency at an end upon facts
1udieially known to the court.
The opinion of the court is so
clear and direct as to leave no
room for doubt as to its meaning
and our plain duty is to apply it to
the case before us.
1t OF course, is Unnecessary for
US to attempt to add to the rea.
soning Of the Supreme Court but
we may say with propriety that
II the emergency in nuastinn is NOT
at an end then this legislation NAV
be extended indefinitely and that
which was intended to meet q tenn.
porary emergency may become per.
na'nent law"

Then, as now, the East was pre-

States east Of the Mississippi and

The Republicans counter this line
OF reasoning by pointing to the

Sword Two Edged.
Impartial observers incline TO the
belief that La Follette's sword has
been two-edged--that he has cut
deeply and, for all practical pur-
poses, equally into both major par
ties. He has hurt the Republicans
in the West by taking such normally
Republican States as Wisconsin and
North Dakota out of the Republican
column, but he has hurt the Demo-
Gratis in such States as New York,
for instance, by appealing to the la
Dor vote.
