Piedmont. with 4.o0o population, Peltzer, 6.0oo. and Ware Shoals were imperilled. Six dams below the one at Table Rock Cove also were be- lieyed in danger.
 Precautions were taken 10 strengthen the dams which furnish power for the cotton mills in the valley to enable them to hold in check the torrent that collapse of the Table Rock Cove dykes will re- lease.
 Deadline Established
 County highway patrolman cs,ab- lished deadline on the road to the dam last night and permitted no one to approach it, but a reporter from the Greenville News reached the scene shortly after midnight and re- ported two huge sloughs in the earthen wall and one or two Assures, through which water was pouring He said officials had given up hope that the dam could withstand the tremendous pressure and believed il llllsht give way at any time.
 No Loss of Life
 While no loss Of life was feared extensive property damage was in. evitable.

tain facts The weather has for some time been extremely variable. That fact, no doubt. has tendency 10 reduce individual resistance. Common colds have been very pre- valent. increasingly so because Of the lowering Of the general com munity resistance, There has also been mild form Of influenza in troduced.
 To avoid con'acion. therefore, one may well observe certain rules. AS in the case of any communicable disease, croWding facilitates spread ing the disease. Personal hygiene. including adequate sleep, adequate food. and well regulated exercises, tends to decrease ones susceptibility to contasion. Lastly. it should be re- membcred that the common cold, though frequently innocent in itself, probably causes more loss of time rom productive work than any other single disease. though il sel dom results in fatality On the o'Htf Hdnu. WhHn ones Vitality has been sufficiently reduced it Is not at all impossible, nor unlikely, that the common cold may develop into serious disease. not infreauently complicated by pneumonia. To aNold mistortunes of this nature one must observe the utmost precautions at this time. One must choose his clothing carefully. He should eat and sleep regularly. He should ex- ercise regularly. but not to excess. Lastly, 1t is perfectly obvious. he should avoid contact with those ill with colds. These rules. though not intallible. arc simply helpful as pre- Nention Of communicable disease lies very largely in the hands Of the in- dividual."

PLAN 1RAFfICRULES
 FOR THE PACIFIC
Definite East and West Lanes
 Are Planned

Washington, May D. R-An American plan to lay off definite east and west traffic lanes in the Vast Pacific will be presented at the. International Conference for the Safety Of Life al Sea in London heNt year.
 Traffic regulation i'll the crowded Atlantic was organized at the last ondon conference in October 1924. Since then, winter and sum- mer. ships of all nations have fol- lowed across the north Atlantic the Charted routes that were suggested then by the hydrographic office of the United States navy and adopt ed by IS British. Dutch French. German and American steamship lines
 There are seven trans Atlantic routes or tracks, the three more southern, lettered A 10 c, being from American ports and the other four. D 10 C, from Canadian. Defi- mite seasons are allotted for the use of each. A, for example, the extra southern track, is used from March 10 July; E. the southern track. from March to September: and C, the northern track, from September to February.
 The familiar rule. keep on the right" is followed on all but one of the .0-mile- wide Atlantic lanes. easibound traffic using the south- ern 10 miles of each. and west bound using the northern 10 miles. On one Canadian route. from Hali- fax. the order is reversed
 Danger of collisions between eastbound and westbound vessels has never been SO great in the Pacific as in the Atlantic because of the smaller volume of traffic and the greater size of the ocean. Sey- eral years ago. however. the nav. photographic office charted east and west routes from Seattle and Portland to Yokohama by way ot Honolulu. and it is thought that the time now has come to present them for international acceptance.
 The routes from Portland and Seattle would follow approximately the line of the Great Circle to Ioko hama. and vessels passing each oth' CT would keep to the right, as in the Atlantic. But in the Honolulu tt Yokohama lanes. this order would be reversed and vessels would keeI 10 the left, as in the automobile traffic oi London and Ontario. Thi;
New Britain herald., 1928-05-05

IS due to the fact that the vest bound route has been charted far to the south of the castbound, in order to take advantage of the Japan current. By heading toward the north after leaving Yokohama, eastbound vessels are helped by the north-fiowing current. and by approaching from the south, west bound ones arc not hindered by it.

Let's Repay Indy

Col Charles A. Lindbergh has done a lot
for us.
Flying alone across the Atlantic he gave us
a magnificent thrill. By his lonely dash
through the air he heartened and encouraged
us; he gave us a new hero, let us have glimpse
of the tineness and nobility to which American
youth can attain.
And as if that were not enough, he made
friends for us abroad. He put France and
America back on cordial basis such as they
had not known since 1918. lie showed Mexico
that not all gringos are scheming land grab
bers He made Central America think lot
more Of us.
All in all, the young man served us very,
very we'll
1t is about time we repaid him. What is the
best thing we can do for him? We might buy
him mansion, but he probably wouldn t stay
in it. We could raise big purse for him, but
he doesn t care for money. lie has so many
medals now that any more would only bore him.
There is only one thing he wants-and it
happens to be something we can give him; a
long, quiet rest.
and photographers and handshal1ers. His
nerves are frazzed He wants to be alone
and who can blame him? He is dead tired of
being photographed, interviewed greeted,
cheered. Ever since he streaked across the At
lantic a year ago it has been continual round
of honors He d like to take a rest all by him
self The best thing we could do for him
would be to forget all about him.
All right; let's do it. Already he has be-
come immortal lie has passed into the gallery
of great Americans, to remain there forever.
We can afford to let him alone for a while.
Let Lindbergh retire for while. Let him
drop out of the news Let him have rest
from banquets, receptions and cheering crowds.
He's tired He only kid, for all his great
ness, and he needs a rest more than we can
imagine Let s give it to him. 1t would be
the kindest thing we could do it would be
the very finest gift we could make, and he
would appreciate it deeply.

The obscure cuttlefsh never has been given his
just reward by the people of this great republic.
The cuttle1sh you know, is deep-sea creature
whose armament includes bag OF ink. When the
cuttlefish gets in jam he lets fly with cloud OF
ink, thereby befogging the issue and lodging the
teeth, beak what not of his adversary.
For many years this creature has served as a
model for many of our best citizens. Cutesh tactics
have been refined and perfected in public life until
it would seem only simple justice to build memorial
to this deep-sea denizen.
Here is a case in point.
During the last couple of weeks, a committee Of
United States Senators has been investigating con-
dtons in the Pennsylvania soft coal fields. The Sen
ators have uncovered some rather startling facts.
They have found out that women and children are
being thrown out of homes destitute, in the middle
of winter
They have discovered that judge has issued an
injunction which forbids strikers from singing
hymns on church property. They have heard tales
of armed guards who have compunctionS about
using guns defenSeless citizens All in all, they
have helped bring to light rather sorry mess
And now the cuttlefish tactics have begun. We
are being told that these Senators radicals"
1t is undoubtedly true that the mine owners are
not the black villains that union leaders would
have us think 1t is undoubtedly true that the entire
industry is SICK and that the troubles incident to the
present strike only surface indications of ills that
lie deep down, calling for something farreach-
ing than any mere temporary adjustment of rival
wage demands.
But the cry of radicals" is an ill omen. The word
radical is bad word 1t is cuttleiShs cloud of
ink 1t be depended to befog almost any issue.
Yell it often enough and loudly enough and you will
soon have the public discounting everything your adj
versary says.
The PENNSYLVANIA situation demands the attention
of the best minds of the country. Something must
be done to remedy matters, for the sake of mine
owners dividends if for other reasons.
Shouting radicals at the Senators who are in
vestigating things is a mighty poor way of helping
Such tactics will only defer the settlement that must
be had sooner or later.
And remember-the first Senator to demand the
investigation that is now being made was Senator
David A. Reed of Pennsylvania friend and political
associate of Comrade Andrew Mellon.
