tertained delightfully."- on last Thurs
day evening in honor of Miss Vir-
ginia Councill, whose marriage is an

elect by little Miss Grace Council
and Master Joe Greer, dressed as
bride and groom. After much merri-
ment over an original contest, the
blank spaces in which were to be
filled by the names of the guests, the
dainty winners prize went to Mrs l.
G. Greer, who in turn gave it to Miss
Council

salad, saltines, asparagus and date
sandwiches, peach pickles, coffee and
salted almonds were served, with ap-
propriate favors on each plate

ginal verse their good wishes for the
brideto-be, which, in dainty, hand
painted cover, were presented to her
at the close of the very pleasant
evening.

Would Establish Farm
For Delinquent Women
Worth While Club Would Support
Bill to Establish Farm For Those
Who Travel Primrose path

A committee was appointed by the
Worth While Club at it's meeting
Friday to confer with Representative
Thomas H. Coffey in an effort to OBJ
tain his support for a bill to be in
troduced in the general assembly
providing for the establishment by
the state of farm colony for de-
linquent women.
Mrs. j. NJ. Moretz was named chair
man of the committe. The other
members are Mr.. W c. Greer, Mrs.
Edwin N. Hahn and Mrs J. L. Qualls.
The proposed farm would care for
400 women who are now sent to the
state penal institutions. 1t is argued
that when these women are released
from the penal institutions they be-
come either 'repeaters" or public
charges. 1t i the object of the farm
to give them such training as will en-
able them to regain their places in
respectable society
The club decided that instead of
having regular Christina. tree and
progl am, members would help make a
happy Christmas for the less fortu-
nate of the community.
The club met Friday at the Com
mercial hotel with Mrs J. L. Qualls
as hostess. The next meeting will be
with Mrs, R. L. Clay January 8.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS WOULD
HAVE PREVENTED WORLD WAR

Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 13.-
Lauding the League of Nations, the
existence of which permits repre-
sentatives of the governments to con.
fer frequently man to man. instead
of depending on colorless exchanges
of diplomatic correspondence" For
eign Minister Stresemann of Germany
today expressed the belief that the
World War would have been averted
If the statesmen in 1914 had been
given as many opportunities of get
ting together as they have at present
through the league
He voiced this view in commenting
to the Associated Press on the sue
cess Of the negotiations just conclud-
ed here which assured the organiza-
ton of league system of investiga-
ton in place of the inter-alled con-
troll of German armaments to which
his government objected. Remark
ing that not only France, but all the
former enemies of Germany had con-
tributed to this result. he said:
''If the statesmen could have met
four or five weeks in 1914, just as
the foreign ministers met at Locarno
and Geneva, and discussed the situa-
ton frankly and unreservedely. | am
convinced that the great war would
have been averted.
Here, then, is one great service
performed by the League of Nations,
which is destined to be a medium in
arranging the affairs of Europe"
The league was necessary and use
ful for the prompt and harmonious
reconstruction of Europe, he assert
ed, adding: Europe simply cannot
stand another war"
The Locarno security conference
and the meetings in Geneva, he
went on, had inaugurated a new sys-
tenn of philosophy in statecraft, and
that was straight dealing. He paid
glowing tributes to all his colleagues,
representing other countries with
whom he had been negotiating
He had special mention for For
eign Minister Vandervelde of Bel
GUM, who, the German statesman re-
vealed, played the role of mediator
in the difficult negotiations.
And don't forget" he concluded,
''Chat Belgium was the country with
which Germany, during the war and
because of the war, was on very bad
terms. NJ. Vandervelde's attitude is
on cooperation and conciliation"

SOUTHERN AIR MAIL ROUTE
LIKELY BE REALIZED FACT

Washington, Dec. 13.-Call for
bids on a contract to operate an over
night air mail route between New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington and Atlanta will be issued by
Postmaster General New within
few days.
The question of the route from
Washington to Atlanta has been un-
der consideration some time and in
dications are that the call will desig-
nate the middle route through Rich
mond, Greensboro, Winston-Salem,
High Point and Greenville, because of
the prospect of the largest mail busi-
ness.
Marked interest has been shown by
the cities on three routes proposed
tentatively. One route would go
through Roanoke, Bristol, Knoxville
and Chattanooga and one competitor
sent a plane over that route obtain
ing pictures which showed ample
landing fields. The middle route
which probably will be chosen bee
cause of heavier mail possibilities pre-
sents some difficulties in the way of
landing fields below Chralotte, but
communities along the way have
promised such fields.

Radium Springs To Be
Developed in Ashe Co.
Million Dollar Corporation Planned
To Develop Only Spring of Kind
in America.

A deal which will transfer approxi-
mately 1900 acres in western North
Carolina and the only radium spring
in America into the hands of q de-
Veioplng corporation was closed in
Charlotte last Thursday night, ac-
coroiAg to Judge T. B. Finley. of
North Wilkesboro, says the Cbarlotte
Observer.
The deal, it is known. has been
pending for sometime and has been
definitely closed, with plans alreadv
drawn for the application of North
Carolina charter that will have a
capitalization of S1,OOO.OOO or moro
The promoters include capitalists
of New York and North Carolina.
Among The North Carolina group will
be Judge 7. B. Finley, J. Gordon
Hackett, w. A. Mcneil, Glenn Wrenn,
president of the Bank of Wilkesboro,
all of Wilkesboro; A. E. Mcneil.
merchant, of jefferson; E. E. Eller.
merchant; j. B. Williams, insurance
man; c. D. Coffey, Jr., and Others
Thomas Dixon, of New York and
North Carolina, noted playwright,
and others of New York, are also in
cluded
Mr.. Dixon was in Charlotte Tues
day night for few minutes en-
route from visit to North Wilkes
boro.
Judge Finley said that although
all the details could not be an
nounced at this time that he was at
liberty to say the deal had been
closed and that a North Carolina
charter would be sought for the cor
poration with probably million or
more dollars" authorized in the wav
of capital STICK.
The corporation, it is said, will at
once, upon obtaining it's authoriza-
ton from the state, bring to North
Can olina, DIR. William Bierman, of
New York, said to be one of the
worlds first authorities on radio
therapy and psycho-terapy,, to advise
with the promoters about laying out
grounds, baths, hotels and sanataria
which the corporation will erect as
step toward making the new devel-
opment into what is intended to du-
plicate the famous Spa watering
place in Germany. DR.. Bierman is
author of Bierman's Medical Guide,
a publication which is rated as an
authority on waters of curative quail
Ties.
The claim that the "radium"
spring in the proposed development is
the only one discovered in America
Is made on the testimony of Froeh-
ling and Robinson, chemical engi-
neers Of Richmond, Va, who have
tested the water.
This firm is on record with its Ger
tification that the percentage of
radio-activity is superior to that of
many of the German springs.
The springs are located seven
miles from jefferson and about 40I
mi es from North Wilkesboro.
1t is reported that a New York
hotel syndicate has made prelimi-
nary advances with a view to acquir-
ing the property by lease or other
wise. The plans, however, are for
the corporation now forming to de-
velop the property itself after DR..

tend the laying out of grounds and
to suggest plans for buildings which

RESTORATION
OF HUNGARIAN
THRONE HINTED
Fascists Supporting Arch
duke Albrecht, Lcgitimists
Want Prince Otto

Budapest. Jan. 7.-LP) A report
that there is a plot to restore the
throne Of Hungary is in circulation.
On the one side it is asserted that
the fascist purpose is to endeavor to
give the crown to Archduke Albrecht,
while the legitimists are supporting
Prince Otto, son Of the late King
Charles.
The latter report had its origin in
Vienna, where newspaper asserted
that the leader of the Hungarian fAs-
cists. julius Gombos, was so miles
southeast of Budapest gathering to-
gether men for. march on the cap
ital within two or three days. 1t was
added that Count Pcthlen. the Hun
garian premier, was comforting with
leading legitimists for the purpose
of devising means to put down fas-
cist attack and elevate Otto to the
throne.
Closely connected with the talk Of
the establishment of the monarchy
is the thirty billion franc note case.
The socialists charge that the fas-
cists are at the bottom Of the coun-
terfeiting plot and that the money
obtained through the putting OF spur
ious French notes in circulation was
to be used in financing Albrecht's
ambition.

NEGRO RACE
ORIGINATED
FROM WHITES
DR.. ScOtt's Opinion Based on
Remains Found Through.
.
out Europe

Princeton, N. j., Jan. 7.-tP)-Ne-
groes may have originated from a
white Eurasian race, part of which
migrated into Africa before the race
became extinct in Europe, DR.. w. B.
Scott, professor of geology and pale
ontol0gy at Princeton University,
told group of his students yester-
day.
The present white race, on the
other hand, he continued, may have
had darker ancestors, not, however,
negroid, there being little evidence
Of what color primitive man may
have been.
He also said that in looking for the
cradle of the human race in the
Mesopotamian valley scientists> may
be on the wrong track, as there was
distinct possibility that the human
race may have several cradles. The
skeletdl remains of early man, he ex-
planned, strongly suggest that there
were several different species Of man,
only a few Of which survived. The
negroes, he said, may be a distinct
race which had a different origin
from other existing races.
He believed the sunmise that me-
groes may have descended from a
non-African race at one time was
based upon the remains of negroid
races of very ancient origin found
in southern France and other places
in EurOpe;

mated During Period of De-
hatiOn and Prior to Period

Dakota on September 10 amounted to
81, OCT ,286.34, according to the report
on the business of the bank made t0
the state auditing board by 0. B
Lund, accountant.
The audit, report of which has
just been filed with state officials,
covers the period from October 1G
1924, to Sept. 10, 1926, and shows,
LLund says in his statement. the true
condition Of the bank. The report
contains 448 pages, iscluding many
multipagc exhibits and statements OF
financial detail.
Commenting on the huge sum
listed-as deficit the report said: mo
attempt was made to divide estimat-
ed losses on hank assets into any GER
tain period. Practically all losses or

tion and prior to the period covered

Estimates Relieved Correct
Commenting further on figures dis
closed by the audit Lund said ::
"Whilc it is not possible to accurate

mates to be approximately correct.
"The banking department, exclu-
sive Of the farm loan department,
shows an operating profit for the
period before charging interest on
capital stock bonds. After charging
interest we show a net loss for the
period Of $S,6l8.35. Z
During the period Of this audit

basis. For our statements we have

ceivable and payable to date of audit
