MUNICIPAL SKATING RINK
SHOULD BE PROVIDED

A number of the younger
folks of the community are
very anxious to have a suita-
BILE place to skate during the
sunshinny winter days. Most
cities of Sank Centres inn
portance has one or more
municipal ice Kinks supervis-,
ed by the city as part of the
municipalities park program.
It has been several years
since Sank Centre has pro-
vided a municipal rink. The
expense would not be great.
Certainly the conservation of
the health and wholesome en-
joyment of the young people
of the community is worth all
it costs.

Christmas Tree Loads
Are Entirely Too Wide
Highway Patrol Warns Drivers to
Keep Within Limits Fixed by
State Law

A warning against hauling loads
of Christmas trees larger than the
limits fixed by the Minnesota traffic
act, was issued this week by Earle
Brown, head Of the State Highway
patrol. Mr.. Brown has received sew
eral complaints that too wide loads
were endangering people using the
highways.
The traffic act provides that no
load shall exceed 96 inches in width.
IF trees are loaded cross-wise on
the trucks, both butts and tips
must be kept within the total 96
inch width.
IF the load is more than 80 inches
wide, the law requires that two
clearance lights or reflectors be
carried on the extreme left side of
the load, a white light or reflector
in front and red or yellow light
or reflector at the rear. Both of
these must be visible 500 feet away.
These are in addition to the regular
head and tail lights required on all
motor vehicles.
Whenever the load extends more
than four feet beyond the rear end
on the body of the truck, red flag
must be carried in the day time
and q red or yellow light or re-
Hector at night.
Every trailer must carry a tail
light similar to the tail light on the
car. II the trailer exceeds 80 inches
in width, it must also carry clear
ance lights.
The highway patrolmen will ar
rest drivers with loads exceeding
the legal limits, and will detain the
trucks until they are reloaded to
comply with the law.

XMAS GREENS
DIMINISHING

RALEIGH, N. c., March 6,--In.
creasing stock OF Christmas greens
bring forward before each holiday
the problems of wise use of this re.
source II an ample supply is to be
assured for the future.
A bulletin of the North Carolina
Department of Conservation and
Development says that the decrease
of fresh greenery is reflected by a
growing use of artificial decorations.
In some places the reduced supply
of the decorations has been felt to
such an extent that organizations
have passed resolutions urging con,
servative use. Roadsides once hounti-
fully resplendent with holly are now
destitute of the growth.
Besides the supply of holly and
other Christmas green's gathered by
individuals, the commercial handling
of these materials has been an estab-
lished enterprise for number OF
years in North Carolina. This In
dustry, which is of considerable
proportions in the eastern part of the
State, depends upon a permanent
yield of existence. Holly, with Its
red berries and particular Yuletide
appeal, is the most sought after de-
coration for the market at Christ
mas as galax, leucothoe, palms.
kalmia, hemlock, spruces and pines
are sold, not only during the holi-
days, but through the year.
In the western part of the State
there has been for many years a
trade of considerable proportions in
a number of forms of mountain
growth through regular dealers.
Commercial shipments of holly from
Eastern North Carolina are made by

WO0LEN FIBER
TESTS MADE


SACRAMENTO, Calf, March g.
Although non.medullated wool fibers
have greater elasticity than the
medulIated, or hollow. fibers, the
medulIated fibers have the greatest
strength, according to tests recently
completed by Prof. j. F. Wilson, Of
the animal husbandry division Of
the University Of California at
Davis, Calf.
In the tests for elasticity, quality
much desired by wool manufactur-
ers. Prof. Wilson found that with
fibers two inches long, the elias.
ticity ranged from 23.5S millimeters
in mcdullated flbers and 1913 milli.
meters in the non.medullated, with
a diameter of .0014 to 2406 and
26.S3 where the diameter was .O019.
Breaking Stress .
In the tests for strength, with the
same diameters, it was found the
breaking stress ranged from 3S0.7s
decigrams to sol IA for the medul-
lated fibers and from 394.04 to
492.00 for the non-medullated. 1t
was noted, also, that where partly
medullated fiber was tested, it broke
where there was no medulla.
The problem now has arisen, ac-
cording to Prof. Wilson, as to where
the hollow fiber gains a greater
strength than a solid one of equal
diameter. He advances possible
explanation that the medulla is
formed from the epidermis and that
the cells contribute to it's strength.
Prof. Wilson has been making
these tests subsequent to his de-
yelopment of a microscopic method
of determining medullated fibers;
and in this connection has come
upon another problem.
The medullated fibers do not take
dyes as well as the solid fibers and
in cloth woven containing them,
often remain entirely immune to
the coloring.
On the other hand, wool fibers
taken from Egyptian tombs, CEN
turies old, show just the opposite
results, the medullated fibers being
deeper in color than the non-medul-
lated.
In his laboratory, Prof. Wilson
has difficulty in dyeing the medul-
lated fibers so that they will show
on Photographic plates.

SATCHEL MAY REVEAL
LIGHT ON MANIPULATIONS
District Attorney in New York
Hopes to Find Out About
Steinhartlt's Deals.

New York, Jan. II (UP)-From
the contents of a battered yellow
satchel. U. 8. District Attorney
Charles H. Tuttle hoped today to
gain light on the reported manipu-
lations of millions of dollars by
David Steinhardt in get rich quick
schemes and his half million dollar
profit in allegedly illicit handling of
bankruptcy cases entrusted to him
as an attorney.
The satchel is the property of

trusted messenger who late yester
day tried suicide by slashing at his
jugular vein with a pocket knife
when confronted with evidence
tending to show he had made $780,

frauds.
Primer is a cousin of Steinhardt,

were made that he had shortages
of more than 100000 in 16 bank
ruptcy cases for which he was re-
ceiver.
