Boone Grapestones SaUed

Daniel Boone's parents died before
their son had come into prominence.
His father. Squire Boone, died In 1765
and his mother in TIT. They were
buried in the Joppa graveyard, near
Mocksville, N. c., and two small
stones were erected to mark the
graves.
Almost a century passed before the
accomplishments of Daniel Boone
brought about a historic interest in
the graves. Then visitors began to
chip off little pieces Of the grave
stones as souvenirs. Fearing the
stones would be destroyed, residents
had them taken to a Mocksville bank
and placed in safekeeping. There they
remained until the Boone Trail High
way association had them returned to
the graveyard and set into solid con-
crete beyond the reach Of the casual
vandal.-Kansas City Times.

Liuy Manuscript Lost
in Confusion at Fire

At the occurrence of great fire In
Constantinople about 1900. says the
Market for Exchange, great portion
Of the furniture and a number Of
books were thrown into the street. It
so happened that just at that time the
secretary Of the French embassy hap
pened to be passing, and as he was
edging his way through the crowd he
espied a man gazing at large folio
which he had just picked up.
The diplomat, upon looking over the
mans shoulder, saw that It was o
manuscript of Livy. He asked to ex-
anime 1t more closely, and upon doing
so discovered that it contained the Sec
ond as we'll as the first decade, ami
very probably all that is lost to us.
He offered the man goodly sum If he
would conceal the book under his long
robe and follow him to his lodgings,
The man agreed; but in the confusion
and crowd they were separated and
so it was that the secretary lost the
opportunity of discovering one Of the
worlds greatest treasures.

Postal Requirement.

The prepayment of postage in order
to handle mail economically and ex-
peditiousiy is fundamental principle.
However, to meet demand for some
arrangement so that room keys car
ried away from hotels or steamships
might be returned congress passed an
act July 3, 1925, covering this. Under
this act such keys may be accepted
for mailing without prepayment Of
postage and dispatched to the hotel
or ship Of origin, the postage to be
collected from the addressee upon de-
livery at the rate Of FIVE cents for each
two ounces or fraction Of two ounces.
The regular rate, If prepaid, is one
and one half cents for each two ounces
or fraction thereof.

LAFOLLETTE WOULD
SETTLE QUESTION
OF A THIRD TERM

WASHINGTON Nov. 25 l49 - A
declaration of policy by the senate
against more than two terms for a
president of the United States will be
sought this session by Senator La
Toilette, republican, Wisconsin.
Despite the announcement by Presi-
dent Coolidge that he does not choose
to run for president next year, Senator
La Toilette thinks it well to determine
the sentiment of the senate on the
subject of third term"
In the face of considerable public
discussion proposing the drafting" of
Mr. Coolidge for another term by the
republican convention next June, the
resolution of the Wisconsin senator
seems destined to provoke consider
able attention
The resolution, which was put for
ward by Senator La Toilette last
spring, when republican leaders gen
orally were speaking of the president
for another term, would declare it the
view of the senate that the precedent
set by George Washington and other
presidents" be followed in the future.
1t would describe as ''unwise and un-
patriotic the breaking of such a
precedent.

COOLIDGE FAVORS
TREATY AS MEANS
FOR BANNING WAR

WASHINGTON Nov. 25 (R--Anx-
ious to discuss with world powers
proposals for the outlawing of war.
PresitUn Mt Coolidge feels nevertheless
that the constitution of the United
States presents a serious difficulty in
the way of a binding treaty
1t was recalled today at the White
House that the constitution places
with congress the responsibility of de-
claring war; Mr. Coolidge believes
congress cannot, therefore, be de-
prived of this power by any treaty,
but he does think a treaty expressing
declaration of policy is possible.
The president indicated a desire
to engage in conversations with other
nations aout such treaties, elieving
considerable good would come from
public concentration upon the subject.
However, he does not see the way
clear for general conference of the
nations on the subject for outlawing
war. If treaties are to be negotiated
he thinks they should be made
separately between governments.

present.
A dextrous synchronization of two
electric motors made possible this
realistic appearance of Mr. Edison on
the screen. Picture and voice were
recorded nearly 200 miles apart, the
former in the Edison library, where
the interview was held, and the
latter in the General Electric re-
search laboratory at Schenectady.
The inventors replies to the ques-
tions of his interrogation were car
ried as electric impulses over tele-
phone wire to the upstate city, where
they were recorded on a film at .ex-
actly the same rate of speed of the
camera that was taking the pictures
here. Two negative films, after de-
velopment, were transposed on a single
positive, which was used this eve
ming.
So delicate were the adjustments
that a variance of one sixty ty-fourth of
second in the speed of either the
motor running the camera or the
other, operating the voice film would
would have made the talking movie

the lines of the two utility COM
panies furnishing the current for the
motors avoided a variation in the
frequency, for difference Of one
quarter of motor revolution in a
thousand would have upset the
plans.
The talking film is of standard
size. Along narrow margin in one
side the voice is recorded in tiny
zig-zag lines. AS a beam of light
passes through these lines, the
broken ray falls upon a photo o-elec-
trio cell which changes the light
rays into electric impulses, similar
to radio impulses. These in turn are
changed into sound by radio re-
ceiver and amplified by loud speak
er. The protector is of standard type.

BILLIARDS DEATH
LIKELY TO MEAN
PROMOTION, REPORT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 R-The
chairmanship of the federal radio
commission, left vacant by the death
yesterday of Rear Admiral William
H G. Bullard, retired, probably will
go to one of the present commits
sioners rather than to the appointee
of President Coolidge to succeed Mr.
Bullard.
While the PRESIDENT has given no
consideration to the appointment, he
was represented today as feeling the
prospective new commissioner pre-
sumably would prefer to see an asso-
ciate of longer service in the chair
than to occupy it himself.
Admiral Bullard will be buried to-
morrow afternoon in Arlington ceme-
terry with full military honors, after
services at Epiphany Episcopal
church.

DEBENTUREPLAN
.ON EXPORTS HAS
GRANGE APPROX

! CLEVELAND, Nov. Is QP)-The ma
tional grange closed its annual con-
vention here today after passing reSo-
! luton directed to congress re- e-affirming
| it's position that the export debenture
plan "is the only sound and workable
way to achieve farm relief" favoring
an increase in the tariff on corn, de-
manding tariff commission investi-
| cation on wool imports and asking ap-
preparations for an extensive program
of fundamental research by the depart
ment of agriculture.
The farm relief report, woven about
the export debenture designed to give
agriculture the same tariff benefits as
industry, was drawn up by a special
/ committee headed by Jesse NeWson,
master of the Indiana grange.
Farm relief through export de-
! bentures depends neither upon appro-
priations for special taxes the adopt
ed report said. by debenture method
farm relief can be attained with adj
ministrative simplicity, directness and
economy of operation"
In favoring an export debenture as
opposed by the McNary Haugen farm
relief bill, passed by congress but
vetoed by President Coolidge, the
grange approved IN substance the plan
offered by Prof. Charles Stewart, OF
the University of Illinois
The report of the committee on
agriculture favoring an increase in the
| tariff on corn to aid the corn belt
farmers, was approved as was resolu-
ton introduced by Caldwell Davis,
master of the Kansas grange, attack
ing the tariff schedule on wool. The
resolution called for tariff commits
sion investigation and asked a recon-
mendation of higher tariff on wool
if conditions warranted.
! The grange approved proposals for
legislation to reduce the national debt
rather than achieve further tax re-
duction, but went on record as favor
ing the repeal of the war tax on auto
mobiles in case congress insisted upon
further tax reduction.
Release of the Muscle Shoals prop
critics to responsible parties agreeing to
manufacture fertilizer in peace time
and ammunition in war time, was Civ
en- approval.
The Mississippi flood relief, pro-
gram of reforestation at the head
waters of tributary streams was ad-
vocated as the means of achieving good
control
Other resolutions favored program
to increase the sanctity OF the ballot,
and the curbing of undue use OF funds
in political campaigns.

At the cemetery the crowds again
were so dense around every entrance

AS the caskets were carried through
the crowd just as dusk was beginning

of applause, as if from an athletic
contest, swept the cemetery of sorrows
from thousands of throats.
"Viva the martyrs!" the great crowd
shouted, at the same time clapping
their hands and cheering Hundreds
struggled to touch the caskets with
