Pasquotank; E. J. Griffin, of
Edenton: S. S. Mann, of Hyde;
John Biggs, of Martin; Van
B. Martin, of Washington and
Lindsay c Warren, of Beau
fort. The vote that these six
candidates have got to. work
on is about the vote that was
polled for Morrison in the
general election Of. 1920.
Here IL the Morrison vote Of
1920 by counties, indicating pretty
accurately the Democratic strength
of each OF the fourteen counties
In the district. Clip these figures

When the gauchos Of Argentina
have broken in wild horse and given

they do not always trouble to take the
novice to the stable, knowing that they
will easily find 1t again and capture 1t
when they like; they just let 1t return
to the troop from which 1t had been
taken. The poor beast, after its first
initiation, is covered with foam and
perspiration, its TANKS and limbs torn
by spurs, reeds and thorns, its head
stunned from being thrashed, its
tongue bleeding, and its mouth torn
to pieces. Breathless and wounded II

as If 1t were some extraordinary and

"Injuns," Ben Eastman has learned to
his satisfaction. From iii ole N

Someone had told him about the

at Bacone and accordingly, Eastman
clambered on Muskogee car with
the firm intention Of viewing the

and getting some first hand info

foot continued as he offered Henry a
cigarette.
Henry disdaInfully declined the
flag" and reluctantly took Eastman's
proffered hand. Finally he said
"sir, the language you speak Is
neither Greek nor Latin. Your words
convey no message to me. Just what
you are attempting to say, / know not.
Please confine your remarks to the
English language, If you speak it, and
possibly may be able to understand

Abashed but still determined. the

Johnny Beaver was emerging from
the dining hall as Eastman appeared
The latter was all set for an hours
conversation.
"A wonderful institution you have

his second attempt to make the ac-
quaintance Of an honest-to-goodness

I'm sure I'd enjoy living here my
self. How old are you? How long
have you been here? Where do you
live? To what tribe do you belong?"
Eastman inquired in chronological or

word he retired into the next apart

The WeU-Dressed Man
 By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes Meet The Obligation Of EUery Occasion
White On The Wanc

TTNLIKE a woman's handkerchief, which is haloed with an aureole
 of romance, a mans handkerchief is a prosy and practical affair. Yet, IS it quite? Time was, and snot long ago, when about the only spot of color vouchsafed to a man lay in his scarf. Today he is turned out in vivid colors, from gray-hued hat-band to checker board hose. Indeed, for the sports the kit of the man of fashion rivals any woman's in boldness and brilliancy as witness his Fair Isle sweater introduc- ed by the Prince of Wales. This is so splashily decorated that it looks like a Sierra Nevada sunset and highland Tartan kilt rolled into one.
 Except for downright utility, the all- white handkerchief is now principally carried by older men. Delicate pastel tints seem to be preferred by young sters. However, turn boy loose Tn pastry shop and he soon sickens of sweets. Likewise, riotously colored handkerchiefs, save for sporting use, are yielding to the vogue of simpler colors and patterns of the sort repro duced here. These, of linen, silk or silk and linen, have faintly tinted grounds overlaid with diamonds, spots, stripes, checks and figures in contrast ing effects. Among the newest hand kerchiefs are shepherds checks to match scarfs, as we'll as light grounds showing polka dots and Persian and Paisley borders. The 20-inch handker-

FOLK TRAVELLING MUCH
Unusual Exodus Of Vaca- tioners Reported
 By Roads

Birmingham is having an unusual number of vacationers, James Free man, Southern railway passenger agent, J. o. Linton, passenger agent of the Illinois Central and Frisco, J. H. Settle of the Louisville and Nashville railway, agreed when questioned about the summer passenger traffic.
 Traffic on all roads has increased to nearly double,, they report. Canadian resorts and resorts in New York and around the Great Lakes are proving the most popular, since a great ma jority of tickets sold are for points in the lake regions of America and Can ada. Unusual summer round trip rates have been offered by all the rail roads and have resulted in huge in. crease in summer travel, it is said.
 Birmingham citizens also have been making arrangements to visit Europe in greater numbers than usual. G. R. Bart of the American Express com pany annunced that at least 800 Bir- mingham citizens would be in Europe by the last of the month. Travel to Europe is becoming so popular that the third class passages on the ships are being as much in demand as first and second class passages.
 , Travel is expected to take another jump as the department stofes and various business houses release their employees for the summer vacations, it is said

Singers Return Home
 From California Trip
Orange Groves And Paved Roads Add To
 Pleasure Of Clubs Tour To Pacific

The successful transcontinental tour of the Birmingham-Southern Glee club ended Saturday when the 32 songsters stepped from the Louisville and Nash vile train. Every member, though re- gretting to abandon the excellent hos pitality shown the club during the trip, was glad to reach Birmingham again. The club and orchestra gave it's final program of the western tour in Boul- der, Colo, before the largest audience of all.
 "It was a most remarkable trip in every way" said Gordon Erickson, di- rector. "No member missed a concert, no one missed a train, and no man sick during the entire trip. A spirit of good fellowship prevailed always among the members of the club"
 Only One Rule
 Mir. Erickson said that the club had only one rule and that was for each member to be in his best condition and to give his best at every performance. Beyond that, each club member was at liberty to do as he saw fit, he said.
 The club left Birmingham, Monday night, June 16, and played their first engagement at Shreveport, La. We'd nesday night the club appeared at Dal- las and sang over radio, which became one of the interesting features of the trip. Thursday of that week the club played in Fort Worth. Friday was spent in Abilene, Tex, and then they made a long jump to Tucson, Ariz. From El Paso the next stop the club had an opportunity to visit Juarez, Mexico.
 Various sightseeing rides were taken to points of interest. A Tucson, the club played in the patio of the Univer- sity of Arizona and received a large crowd that overflowed the enclosure. Many sought positions in the windows

that wing of the eight storied office building to walk to the north end (the building covers a whole block) to reach elevators. This was followed by an- other order forbidding anyone in the interior department to park an auto- mobile on Eighteenth street, between E and F streets, although the city au- thorities permitted parking in this area.
 Work More TactfuI
 Secretary Work was not so autocratic or tactless, though he never repealed any of these orders that I ever heard of, nor did those who came into more personal contact with him seem to have the affectionate esteem for him that they had had for some of his predeces- sors. He was a doctor before he was in public life, and there is something in his manner and bearing that sug- gests the doctor even yet. He has never impressed his personality, either favor ably or unfavorably, as did the others. The general opinion in the department does not seem to rate him highly either as to official efficiency or personal pop ularity.
 But even greater than the differences NDGtMEGH lutSC SCCICldEICS pCE5OnftAAy Ado been the difference between Wilson S of Harding and Coolidge. I wish l could go into detail as to the differ ences, but it is probably not necessary, as the leasing of Teapot Dome naval oil reserve in Wyoming to Sinclair and of Elk Hills naval oil reserve in Cali fornia to Doheny sufficiently indicates that the Wilson policy of administering the public lands has been discarded. Both of these leases, it developed later, were made secretly, without opportunity given anyone else to bid, and in disre- gard of the fact that the lands were set aside for the use of our navy.
 Policy Changed
 But even in the general administra- tion of the leasing law the policy was changed so changed, in fact, that some who had had no idea of the scandals of the leasing of the naval reserves were not surprised at the revelations. The general land office was not involved in the revelations, and from my experience there have no hesitancy in saying that I believe that, even should Congress investigate further, and into individual cases which some have felt were equally as reprehensible, the general land office would be absOlved from blame, but the responsibility put upon the admin istration, which, through the secretary, dictates policy, and Oftentimes even more. When the secretary or an acting secretary issues an order relating to a matter pending in the department, the order must be obeyed. The secretary and the assistant secretaries, as the case may be, are a sort of court of last resort for appeal in cases where parties to proceedings feel that justice has not been done. Only in extraordinary cases-about once in a blue moon, So to speak-do the law courts have juris- diction of these cases. As the secre-
