SPICE INJECTED
INTO CAMPAIGN
III. w, Anderson Says Statements Made
Untrue and Libellous

Spice was injected into the Vir-
ginia gubernatorial campaign by
Henry w. Anderson, who wrote
Harry F. Byrd, the Democratic can
didate, declaring that statements
Byrd made in an address at Harri-
sonburg, asserting that the Virginia
Republicans plan to enfranchise the
100000 negroes in Virginia are un-
true and libellous.
Anderson was the Republican
nominee for Governor in Virginia
four years ago and declined the gu
bernatorial nomination offered him
by the Republican State Convention
held in Roanoke two months ago.
In his letter to Byrd, Colonel An
derson said:
Il have just received pamphlet
copy of your address, delivered at
Harrisonburg, October 10, which
/ am informed, is now being distrib-
uted in Virginia.
ION page Is, find you make the
following statement; Their (the
Virginia Republican, platform de-
clares for new constitutional con-
vention. In the words of Colonel
Anderson, it is to provide for an en-
larged electorate by enfranchising
the 100000 negroes in Virginia, and
give them the balance of political
power in the State.
81 have used no such words.

feel that it is due to you, as well as
to myself, that 1 should advise you
that this statement is untrue, and
the publication and circulation there
of is libellous."
Col Anderson is scheduled to
make number of speeches in Vir-
ginia before election day, and ex-
poets to elaborate on his letter sent
to Byrd.

GARY PREDICTS PROSPERITY

The United States is on the verge
of great era of prosperity, Ebert
H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation, asserted
in an address opening the twenty
eighth general meeting of the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Institute in New
York, Friday.
Il tell YOU" he said, before an
other meeting of this institute you
gentlemen will not have to go even
into another room for orders. You
will be turning them away"
Judge Gary said the institute had
seen steady. but persistent growth
of high moral principles.
"Our industry is truly said to be
"a barometer of trade" he declared,
but sometimes l think it should be
called thermometer of trade. 1
think it is apt to be like the mer-
curry of a thermometer that goes up
and down, depending on the
weather"
"Cut-throat" business methods were
denounced by Judge Gary, who urged
greater confidence among members
of the industry and dwelt at length
on decent prices and an equitable
division of business, especially when
times are dull. There is no reason
why the steel business should ever
be in the Dumps" he stated.
He praised President Coolidge and
his cabinet, which, he declared,
seem disposed to do everything rea-
sonable, fair and honest"

VOCATIONAL STUDY
is RECOMMENDED
Trade and Industrial Training For
Students of High School

High school instruction in Vir-
ginia is now preparing students for
the vocations as well as for colleges,
according to Dabney S. Lancaster,
secretary of the State Board of Ed
ucation. While the thorough prepar-
alton of students for college is one
of the most important functions of
the high school, it should never be
the sole aim, as large numbers of
high school students do not go to
college and must receive definite
training for their future occupations,
it is said.
During the school year 1924-'25,
2543 students received high school
instruction in vocational agriculture
through four-year courses in the pro-
duction and marketing of farm
products and in farm management
problems.
Trade and industrial instruction
was offered by the high schools of
Virginia to 1900 students. This type
of instruction is enabling boys to en-
ter directly into the various trades
as skilled workers. In addition,
large groups of adults were offered
training through evening classes,
and through conferences for fore
men in the industries. The indus
trial interests are heartily backing
this type of instruction, it is said.
Courses in home-making educa-
ton enrolled 1910 high school pu-
pills with an additional 1873 adults
attending evening classes in home
making.
A total of approximately 1000 pu-
pills of high school age took advan-
tage of the opportunity to pursue
vocational courses in 1924'25. Vo-
cational programs are meeting very
definite training needs of the high
school students and adults of Vir-
ginia, according to Mr.. Lancaster.
The needs for broadening the
high school curriculum has long
been felt. Large numbers of stu
dents, boys in particular, have drop
ped out of school after one or two
years of high school work, largely
because of their inability to see how
the school instruction could be of
help to them in the work to be done
after leaving school Vocational
training has been instrumental in
holding the interest of large num-
bers of students who have completed
the entire high school course of
study as a result. To illustrate this
tendency on the part of boys to re-
main in school in large numbers I'M
til graduation, it is pointed out that
in 1928 only seven per cent of
the total enrolment of boys in the
four years of high school graduated
In 1924-'25, however, 10 per cent of
the boys enrolled graduated. The
most marked increase came between
1922 and 1924525, during the
period in which the vocational pro-
grams had been developed on an ex-
tensive scale.
1t seems clear that high school in
struction is now meeting the needs
of the larger numbers of people
more satisfactorily than ever before

Damascus, figuring in the news
as the scene Of bloody fighting be-
tween French rulers and rebelling
Druse tribesmen, is believed to be
the Oldest city in the world.
Said to have been founded by Uz,
grandson of Shem, Noahs eldest
son, it's origin was literally lost In
antiquity even when Abraham
passed through on his way to Ca
naan.
Little David, after he became
king, slew his $4,000 Syr1ans near
there and made Damascus his gen
eral headquarters. And, says the
Bible, "the Syrians became servants
to David and brought gifts"
Long Fought Over
Time out of mind in the centuries
before, Damascus had been besieged,
and Tough over and captured and
recaptured before Paul became con-
verted on the road outside and
walked into town down it's Street
Called Straight.
Jeroboam the Second, took Damas-
Gus 'for Israel, according to the
word Of the Lord by Jonah the
Prophet" And once it's people were
carried off to Kir, so Amos tells us.
And Rameses II took it. Alexander
the Great once bossed it and struck

Plundered by Tartars
In the thirteenth century 1t was

LINEAGE DATING TO
 REVOLUTIONARY WAR
 SAVES HORSES LIFE

MANHATTAN, Kan, Jan. 2S.- Riley county, Kansas, is boasting of a horse that is eligible to membership in the Sons of the American Revolu- tion.
 The animals proud lineage recently saved it's life in the veterinary hos pital of the Kansas State Agricultural College here. The horse was brought to the hospital with an incurable foot disease and veterinarians recommend ed killing it. The farmer, however, objected strenuously to parting with the animal He said that his own great grandfather, major in the war of the revolution, had ridden an an- cestor of the horse and that his line had remained in the family ever since that time.
 The horse has gone into honorable retirement in the hospital here.

TURBINE ENGINE
 GIVES PROMISE OF
 SPLENDID SERVICE

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 2S. - The neck and neck race between steam and electricity as motive pow CT for railway trains has grown con- siderably as the result of the recent extensive tests in Sweden. These show that the Swedish turbine loco motive consumes 45 to 50 per cent less coal than a modern locomotive with reciprocating engines, while re- quiring but one-twentieth as much wa ter; can make run of GOO miles with out stop, and can maintain the same regular schedule which at present re- quires three locomotives of the ordi nary type.
 Runs totaling more than 10000 miles in regular passenger and freight service have been made between Go thenburg and Stockholm. No stops to take on water have been necessary and the consumption of coal has been only about half as much as the ordi- nary engine. The turbine locomotive, which is the invention of the Swedish engineer, F. Jungstrom, is a radical departure from the reciprocating en- zine. Instead of the familiar piston and cylinder mechanism, together with the crank drive wheels with their big cOunterweightS, turbine wheels are used which are rotated by a current of steam playing over the blades, the turbine shafts being connected by gears to the shafts of the drive wheels
 Among the advantages of the tur- bine as summarized by the inventor are the saving in fuel and water smaller engine crews, higher efficien cy of the boiler owing to pre-heatins of the combustion air, reduction of all fire risks because sparks are extin- guished in the pre-heater, more eff cient starting power, smoother run, ming and less wear on rails and couplings, smaller space required in the roundhouses, and more comfort for the passengers due to the absence of steam clouds
