Many Washingtonians doubtless will
journey to Baltimore Saturday to see
the University of Maryland engage its
arch foe, Johns Hopkins, at la crosse in

Ia crosse.
Georgetown will play the first game
on its annual Northern base ball trip
Friday, engaging Providence in the
Rhode Island city. The next day will
find the Hoya tossers clashing with Holy

Looks Like Fire Bug

That Elizabeth City's fire bug IS
still at work in the city is the opin-
ion of Fire Chief Jerome B. Flora
The fire company was called out
shortly after three o'clock Thurs
day morning to combat fire which
was discovered in house on York
street and which did something like
$500 damages to the building.
The family that occupied the
house moved out wednesday after
neon and it rained wednesday
night. Early Thursday morning OF
last week fire was discovered in
building on North PoindeXter street
which for a time threatened an en-
tire business block. Both OF the
fires originated from unknown
causes and both occurred during
rainy nights.
Mr.. Flora believes there is a pyro-
maniac prowling around the city
setting fire to vacant houses just to
see them burn, and he's making
an investigation in the matter,

NOBODY KNOWS HARD ON HICKS
list WHO WILL BOOTLECCERS
SUCCEED JOB AND NECKERS

And now the bootleggers and
ncckers will have to move off the
State highways in North Caro-
lima to dispense their Illegal pro-
duets and indulge in that popular
pastime of necking.
The Senate the latter part of last
week passed the State highway
Patrol Bill which will call for 10
motorcycle patrolmen for the high
ways of North Carolina. These l25
patrolmen are expected to make it
hot for the bootleggers who drive at
an excess speed croWding other
motorists of the road and who
stop in dark and lonely places along
the road to dispense their cargo,
Young people out for a little FUN
used to neck while riding along the
roads but this has become out OF
date, they find that they can neck
much more comfortably and better
if they stop their car, usually stop
ping on a dark piece of road bor-
dered on each side by woods. With
their lights turned of these neckers
and bootleggers have come to be a
great menace to other motorists and
they will have to pJe the county
roads and by ways for their fun
with the advent of the patrolmen,
else they will be explaining to the
judge.
The State Highway patrolmen
will likewise make it hard on the
farmers who drive horse drawn
vehicles along the highways after
night without any lights. The farm
ers Just can't get it in their heads'
despite the great number OF accl-
dents, that they should have lights
on horse drawn vehicles. And their
local officers just haven't the heart
to arrest them. The patrollng Oh
the State highways by these patrol
men should eliminate a great num-
ber of automobile accidents IN

A Young Lady Who
Forgot Her Drawers

Baxter Bell. Clerk of the Court
os Currituck County, got the shock
Of his life on Main St. in Elizabeth
CITY the ether day when an attrac-
tive young woman clutchcd him by
the arm and said: Heavens! I have
forgotten my drawers!" 1t was a
cold day and Mr.. Bell said: well,
if YOU ever needed them you need
them to-day"
But it was all a mistake. The
young woman who is a well known
stenographer had been commission
ed by her mother that morning TO
buv some union suits fer her little
brother. She was in the shopping
district with a girl friend and be-
coming absorbed by display in a
show window she Jagged a bit be-
hind her companion. Suddenly she
thought of the union suits and
thinking she was still walking be-
side her girl friend, clutched the
arm nearest her and said, Heavens!
I have forgotten my drawers! Ihe
words we're out before she discover
ed that her girl friend was eight
PAGES ahead of her and the arm she
was holding was the arm Of Clerk
Baxter Bell of Currituck.
Blushing from the hem OF her
brassierrc to the roots of her hair
the young lady fled into the near
est doorway.

WHY THE DUCKS

Mr.. ONeal shares the opinion OF
hundreds Of other sportSmen and
residents OF CurcituCk County, that
salt coming down into the fresh
waters of Currituck Sound from
Chesapeake Bay thru the govern
ment inland waterway is destroying
the fresh water grasses that have
made Currituck Sound in the past
the greatest fecGing ground for
migratory wild fowl On the Atlantic
Coast.
Not only is the saline content OF
the water rotting the grasses on
which wild fowl feed; it is also slow

Of Chesapeake Bay began to mingle
with the fresh waters Of Curr!tucE
Sound. Migratory bird life in Cur
rituck Sound may be doomed.
Every effort has been made to
have the government restore the
locks at Great Bridge and keep back
the sat waters CT the Chesapeake
but hostile U s. Army engineers

operation. While at the hospital
a police patrol wagon drove up with

policeman on the patrol wagon 70
give them a ride. He did. He took
them all the way to the jail ana
then showed them all over the jail
And to show them that Philadelphla
hospitality has nothing on North
Carolina, he took them into locker
room and offered to give them a
drink from a friendly looking jug
They declined the drink and there
fore insist that they don't know
whether the Jug contained the real
thing or cough syrup. But this was

ELIZABETH CITY
SLOW TO MAKE
use OF AIR MAIL

Elizabeth City folk are slow In
getting on to the use of the air
mail. Mail planes are annihilat-
ing distances between the Great
Lakes and the Gulf, the Atlantic
and the Pacific. An air mail
stamp will take letter to Pacific
Coast points three days ahead of
the trains; but Elizabeth City folks
buy an average of so air mail
stamps in a month. They buy
$4,000 two cent stamps a month.
Elizabeth City doesn't make much
use of the air mail because the near
est air mail routes are too far away
to be particularly interesting. The
nearest all mail routes are too far
away to be particularly interesting
The nearest mail plane dispatching
office is Richmond; the next
Greensboro. You can get a letter to
New York by train quicker than you
can get it to New York by train and
air via Richmond or Greensboro.
North bound mail planes leave
Greensboro at 11:21 P. NJ, Rich
mond 1:28 A. M. The South bound
planes leave Richmond l:02 P. NJ,
Greensboro 2:59 A. M. Letter mail
for Atlanta or Florida and Gulf
Coast points dispatched on Train
No. l leaving Elizabeth City at noon
and carrying an air mail stamp
should make the Greensboro airport
in time for dispatching on the night
air mail, reaching Atlanta next
morning.
Much time can be saved on mail
addressed to Chicago, ST. Louis
Jacksonville, Miami, Montgomery
Birmingham, Mobile, New Orleans
or Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Coast Points. Air mail dispatched
from Boston yesterday reaches Ellz-
abeth City to-day. BY train it takes
two days to get a letter from Bos-
ton. A lot of time can be saved by
using air mail stamps on mall
addressed to points more than rail
tourney of II hours from Elizabeth
City. But Elizabeth City folk
haven't got on to the air mail
stamps. Air mail stamps cost five
cents for the first ounce and ten
cents for each additional ounce to
any point in the United States or
its possessions.
There are 80 air mile lines in the
United States to-day, covering a.
502 miles of mail airwayS, travers-
ing 81 States, touching at 108 cities
which are centres are trade areas
for SO million people. And new air
ways are being established all the
time.

TOORCANIZE
Y. M. {. A. FOR
Mill DISTRICT

A committee headed by ]. ID.
Freeman has been appointed to
organize Y. NJ. G. A. for the boys
and young men Of the mill district
Of Elizabeth City with view to
eventually purchasing a lot and
erecting a building for tnat pur-
pose.
It is pointed out that if these boys
had an organization of their own
they would patronize it and much
good should be accomplished among
them. Rev. F. D. Viehe who has
much experience in this work is
working with the local committee.
The building would contain show
er baths, card rooms, and gym
nasium. 1t is believed by those
sponsoring the movement that an
organization of this sort would pro-
vide good, clean entertainment for
these boys and keep them out of
mischief. 1t would give them some
place to meet and enjoy themselves,
whereas the only place they have
now is the streets. 1t is believed
that the organization would help
considerably to cut down crime
among this class of people.
The committee will meet at Free
mans store on the corner of Bell
street and SINNERS Ave, next Mon
day night to map out definite plans
and to get q drive underway for
membership. They will have as
their goal 100 memberships, assess
ments not to exceed $100 a month
and the membership fees will go to-
ward the purchase or rental OF a
suitable building and the purchasing
of equipment for the gymnasium.
After the organization has been
completed and building and equip
ment secured boxing bouts and other
contests would be put on to raise
money, for extra equipment and
other expenses.

Decide Not to Sell
City Markethouse

The Board of Aldermen of Eliz-
abeth City has reconsidered the mat
ter of asking legislative authority to
dispose of the city markethouse.
The Aldermen will hang on to the
markethouse and try to do some
thing with it.
The city markethouse is Jonah.
Meat dealers resented being forced
into a markethousc and they have
not cooperated in trying to make
the markethoEse attractive. In the
meantime the building has gotten
into bad physical shape. The CELL
ing is falling down, the place is over
run with rats, the heating system is
inadequate and the electric refriger-
alton plant is unsatisfactory. 1t
will cost $4,000 to put the market
house in good condition.
Suburban meat dealers are play
ing havoc with dealers in the
markethouse. Butchers set up stalls
just outside the city limits where
they are free from city taxes and
restrictions. They undersell the
markethouse men and sell tons Of
meat in town. Almost everybody has
an automobile and can get to the
suburban butcher shop. The market
house needs a manager. An active
city manager paying some atten-
ton to the building might keep the
occupants in good humor and en-
courage townspeople to support
their markethouse.

DIRECTORS ARE
INCLINED TO LET
VIRGINIA DARE

The directors of the Virginia
Dare Hotel are beginning to think
of leasing the property if they can
find 4 responsible lessee who will
pay sufficient rental to take care
OF interest on the investment,
taxes, insurance and depreciation.
The directors are getting little
tired of trying to run modern
hotel: it isn't in their line.
The foregoing information leaked
out of a directors meeting OF TN"
Elizabeth City Hotel Corp. WedneS-
dav night. at which meeting c. o.
Robinson was again elected presl-
dent of the corporation. c. o. Rob
;nson lust can't seem to shake OF
the presidency; he has begged and
threatened to resign and positively
and absolutely refused 20 stand for
rejection since January 1928. But
/ he has made such a good job Of It
and no one else wants the reSpoa-
sibility.
J w. G.. Gather was elected preSi-
dent at Wednesday nights meeting,
but declined the office. Later he
stated that if some one would fill
the office until July I. 1929 he would
take it over at that time. having by
then gotten some other things OF
his shoulders. It was then that Mr..
Robinson was persuaded to carry on
until July lst. at which time he will
resign and turn the presidency over
to Mr.. Gather.
The Virginia Dare made $1,000
from its operation last year and
$4,000 from its rentals. Bus it is
not enough; Taxes alone took $4,000
Of this revenue. The directors actu-
ally found themselves. $1,000 in the
hole. And it is the directors who
are in the hole, the directors per-
Sonally indorSing notes for the hotel
corporation to take care of the de-
fiCit.
And so. if somebody who knows
how to run a hotel will pay real
money for a lease for a short term
Of years. the hotel will be leased.
The directors generally are opposed
TO a long time lease; they believe
that if the hotel can be pulled thru
another year it will turn the corn
er and begin to make money.
Other officers of the hotel corpor-
alton elected Wednesday night were
J. w. Foreman. first vice president;
w. T. Love. second vice president;
Carl Blades, treasurer; George r,
Little. secretary.

Citizen Aydlett Has
Brand New Idea

Citizen E. F.. Aydlett is out with
a proposition to take the third floor
of the Y. M. C. A. Building on Main
st. for a public library. The third
floor of the Y. M. c. A. Building IS
now subdivided into guest rooms ana
rented to roomers. Running the
roomers out of the Y. M. c. A. might
mean a little more business for Mr..

Elizabeth City will hardly take
kindly TO the idea of public library
on the third floor of a building.

stairs for culture; it's hard enough
to lead 'em to good reading on a

Partly" said the Soda Jerker. "A

two heads. The man persists IN
thinking he is head of the family be-
cause tradition says he is the head
of the family; but the wife is usual

most families with two bosses, each
in conflict with the other and the
result is confusion, pettiness, Jeal-
lousy, discomfort and disorder IN

dren have respect for neither parent

of marriages and lot of homes
