OF THE
.ALBEMARLE 7 @
ASSEMBLE HERE
MONDAY NIGHT

Many Of The leading citizens
from every County on the Nir-
Sinia Dare TiaI, from Windsor
10 Mantco, will @9""m6ic in Eltz-
abc.h City Monday evening, Sept.
23rd on the serious bu";ncSs of
organizing an hlb2mar.c Society
for the promotion of The Abe
lnar.c Region.
The idea, born in this city several
weeks ago has met with an en-
tbugiaStiC reception in every county
in which it has been introduced and
it only remains now for Elizabeth
City and Pasquotank to show the
same enthusiasm and join who.e-
hcartedly in perfecting q pcrman-
cnt organization of the proposed
Society in this city Monday night.
Each county will have its own
chapter and temporary chapters
have already been organized in
several counties. Elizabeth City, the
commercial capital of the Albcmarlc
was naturally selected as the place
for formal organization.
The proposed Albemarle Society,
if properly organized will be the
greatest forward step ever made by
the Counties of the Albemarle and
should easily be one of the most
formidable and influential booster
organizations in North Carolina. IL
proposes to do nothing more less
prctcntiouS than to unite the lead
ership of seven or nine counties to
function continuously for the up
building of the whole region. What

THE GREAT SHIRES
 CHIDES BABE RUTH -

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The Great Shires, White Sox first baseman, says he considers the day lost when he fails to get the goat of some diamond celebrity.
 When Babe Ruth came puffing down to first at the Yankee sta- dium the other day, Art stepped over and said:
 Whats your name-Burocher? Isn't that quite drive for you?"
 The Babe had just slammed fly so far out in center to the fielder, backed against the fence, that it took two relays to get the ball back to the infield.
 Durocher is notorious for his weak hitting and seldom gets the ball beyond the infield.
 The Babe didn't exactly swing at Shires but he glowered at him.
 The Great Shires once had his name linked locally with that of Durocher who was considered some what of a "wisecracker" until Ar thur made his debut.
 "Durocher just isn't in my class" confided the Great Shires on the same trip to the stadium. Why I rode him so hard the other day that Higgins asked me to lay off and give him a chance"

sulting engineer of the Traffic
Council. argued last night al the
councils meeting over the fea ST
hility OF suggestions made by Bill
bins for traffic improvement. based
on the engineers recently finished

In addition to the clash between
Harland and Bibbins. a further
obstacle to consideration Of Bib
bins plan, came up when t was
discovered that there was lack Of
definite data on the cost of modern
iZing Washington traffic system.
Action on the recommend lions
of the engineer was postponed.
1t was generally agreed, however,
that the present signal system IL
not meeting the purpose for when
it is intended on certain COngested
thoroughfareS. Director H4lland
admitted that he had not yet tied
up the signal lights so that they
would operate with the efficiency
necessary to general smootnncss,
but he expects to do so.
Harland's frequent objections to
the Bibbins survey were based on
what he called prohibitive expense.

Freedom of the Seas

Freedom Of the seas may come next" reads q
cablegram from Geneva. BoShi Great Britain has
dominated the seas for four centuries. Great Brit
IAN has the largest navy afloat Great Britain has
the greatest fleet Of merchantmen that time has
known. Great Britain carries a large proportion OF
American products to the bargain counters OF the
world. Great Britain has ever refused the permit Of
the freedom Of the seas.
If organized labor should win the battle in the COM
ing May election for control of the house Of COM
mons. perhaps It would be different. Organized labor
under the skies OF the British Isles insist that the
freedom Of the seas should come to all peoples and
all nations.
This Is dealing with futures. Wait until the results
OF the election are known.

Health and Right Living

It has been said that we are afear-
fully and wonderfully made" II
is indeed true; II we were to study
the brain and nervous system alone
we would find more remarkable
things than the radio and oil other
amazing inventions and discoveries
Of modern times.
Between the brain and the spinal
cord is q portion of the nervous sys-
TEN known rs the "medulla oblon-
gata." or brain-tem. Without dis
cussing other functions. one thing
this region does is to regulate the
nerves controlling the muscular
coats OF the blood vessels.
Let me see II I can make clear to
you how important the function
really Is You need not be q scien-
fist to know that III IL In to do It's
work. the stomach must have more
flood when IL Ii full OF food than
IL requires when empty. How Is II
to get that blood.
The nerve center In the medulla
sends Q message to the muscular
coats OF the blood vessels In the
stomach lining. This message Is an
order Il 10 to get that blood7
III Is important to govern our liv-
ing In such a way as 20 have the
nervous system well nourished ard
normal In function. Then every or
gan Of the body win be supplied
with exactly the qualities of 5lo0d
needed for its immediate purposes.
But this system Of regulating the
blood supply may be put out OF Or
der by abuse. For instance, the
stomach may become congested and
ever seriously inflamed by reason Of
bad eating habits. When the blood
vessels r habitually enlarged the
normal regulation fails.
IL is rather pleasing, + think. TO
met a young woman who has a
ready blush. We are 50 well con-
trolled these days that q face is
rarely mantled with the flush Of
self-consciousneSS. But is is a fact
that many O face Is constantly con-
gested. too. many times from the
abuse of the digestive organs.
Chronic drinkers or alcoholics are
likely to give evidence OF their BAD
habits by having their noses painted
bright red by nature.
You must not think. however. that
a congested nose is sure evidence Of
alcoholic indulgence. As q matter
OF fact, many a pious man with
none OF the weaknesses commonly
frowned upon may be thus afflicted.
But the trouble is that there are
many persons who abuse their storm
achs by eating too much. or eating
too much of the wrong things. This
practice may discolor the face Just
as alcohol does.
When the blood vessels or the
middle zone OF the face are con-
stantly filled. you can see that the
regulation which should be under
the control Of the medulla Is en-
