MOVEMENT ID HONOR
 FIRST WHITE CHILD J. s

MANTEO, N. C., Jan. S.-A move ment has been started by group of citizens to permanently mark histori- cal spots, and one of the places to be designated by a monument, ii the plans materialize, is the birthplace of Virginia Dare, the first white child born on American soil. The spot is on Roanoke island, often referred to as the cradle of the English race in Am erica. There is some doubt as to the exact spot where Virginia Dare was bOrn but it is believed to be near Ft. Raleigh, about thre emiles north or Manteo.
 Mounds of earth forming the sides of pentagOn at each angle of which is stone post protruding about foot from the ground, show the loca. tion of the old fort In the center of the fort there is now an unpretentious stone marker on which are inscribed some of the historical records of the place. Interruptions relic collectors have marred the present stone mark but its inscription still can be read.
 The county of which Roanoke Isl and is a part is named Dare, in hon. of the first English child born in Am erica, and the seat of the county is named Manteo in honor of the Indian chief who was the first person to be baptized in the new land. Manteo en- joys the distinction of being the only county seat in the United States with the single exception of Key West, Fla, located on an island.
 Today the island is sparsely settled the inhabitants making a living fish ing eked out by little farming. It is said there is but one commercial far 'mer on the whole island which is 12 miles long by three wide.
 The North Carolina state depart ment of education and the state histo- rical commission, in order to present to the people the history of Roanoke Island in pictorial form in 1921 had the settlement on the island enacted and photographed in 5000 feet of film

EINSTEIN GREATEST THINKER
 OF THE DAY, SAYS DANE

PARIS Jan. S.-George Brandes, a Danish critic and essayist, who is wis iting Paris, is rather hard on Ameri- can taste, still critical of Bergsonian philosophy and regards Freud as apos- tie of "obscene inhuman imagination" 1" Though in his S4th year Brandes is still very active.
 Asked whom he considered the greatest thinker of the day he replied "Einstein beyond contradiction; he is the Newton of this age. All his con- clusions are or will be established" As to Freud he threw up his hands in gesture of horror and exclaimed: What have such obscene, inhuman imaginations have to do with us? Leave them to America, where they are said to be very successful, de- lighting the bluestockings to whom that country is the chosen land.''

One Reason
for Nervous
Disorders

VOUR doctor can tell you that
nervous disorders are very COM
mon among Americans. One reason
for this is found in the fact that they
are great coffee drinkers.
Coffee contains caffeine, a drug,
prescribed by doctors as an emergency
stimulant for the heart and nervous
System. It has tendency to increase
blood pressure, develop heart irreg-
ularities and cause digestive dis
turbances.
IF you feel that coffee is not good
for you, serve Postum as your meal
time drink.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage
that refreshes and satisfies. It is abb
solutely free from caffeine or any
other irritating drug.
Try a cup of Postum with your
dinner or supper tonight. Postum is

A Detour.


Slmone Greville once spoke of
group of women, which had included
Violet, as perpetual tasters of sensa-
tions, mostly mental passive eptcures,
waiting to be made to feel. She said
she didn't know whether their pre-
cocity had exhausted them before they
were ripe or whether they had too
many ideas to leave room for anything
else, but she'd come to believe that an
astonishing proportion of them. any
how, went through life passionless.

gether.
AS applied to Violet, this was pretty
good diagnosis, If by Violet one means
merely what Violet meant to herself

thirty-ninth year, suspected the exist
ence of.
When, on that notable Sunday morn
ing in May, she'd had her first taste
of Joe Greer, she'd consciously admit

rience from series Of forays TO the

cousin, Henry, undertaken during a
summer tour the Prince and Craven
families had made among the French
chateaux.
Her experiment with John William
son, while 1t got from the fact of their
marriage social significance that was
revolutionary and, she assumed, per-
manent, was not, In its psychological
aspect, very much more important than
some of the others. The first weeks of
! marriage had given her some appalling
hours, of fright, of revulsion, and of a
wildly incredulous disappointment.
But the subsidence Of all this had been
an acquiescence, a little ironic. but

BIoUiofe. a Neru Word

There is word which, so far as
know, is local to Washington, and
largely to its newspaper and political
fraternity. The word is +bloviate" It
is not in the dictionary. q have just
looked and found there is no word OF
which the first four letters are "blov."
You pass from ''blousing'' immediate
Iy to 'blow') But although the word
is not in the dictionary, those whose
ears have quick apprehension of the
meaning inherent in sounds, viii al
ready have guessed its significance.
When a public man, especially one
rather given TO speeehmaking, is in
vited to adorn and address the annual
dinner of this or that, we say he has
gone out of town TO bloviate. The
word carries an implication Of ornate,
rotund speech and partly of expan-
sion of the ego.-Mark Sullivan In

accorded to Major George L. Berry
Berry was member of the court.
The new contract, which extends
to September, 1926, provides for the
following wage increases: From Sept.

of 81 per week, or S51 per man for
those who have worked the full so

of 81 a week, and for the following

made for overtime worked during the
