Suburbs of Toxic
Are to Be Improved

The reconstruction Of Toxic from the
ravages Of the 1923 earthquake being
completed, the Toxic district commit
tee on city planning is now turning its
attention to improvements in the sub
urban districts which are included in
the area known as Greater Toxic. The
portion under consideration in the new
project comprises 1868 acres and the
first thing which will be done will be
to construct a number of trunk high
ways and sewer lines. A total of $780,
100000 will be spent before the work
is completed, although the first appro-
priation is only $35,000,000, which is
expected to be enough to carry the
work through 1887. A total Of 10 trunk
roads will be laid outranging from 20
to IS yards in width, while the total
length of the sewer pipes will be so
miles. The concentration of improve
ments in the central sections of Toxic
have delayed this work In the suburbs,
but approximately 40 out of the 83 in
corporated towns and villages in the
greater Toxic area will be benefited by
the present plans. The actual limits of
the city run through the middle of
thickly populated districts SO that one
has to go far beyond this TO arrive at
the beginning of suburban sections,
and for this reason the Toxic munich
pal authorities are cooperating with
the prefecture in pushing the improve
ments. Many of these were ready to
start when the 1923 earthquake made
postponement necessary.

an accurate record Of the additional
proit the program brings to their
fathers farms. To further stimulate
interest among the children, prizes
were offered for essays and posters
dealing with the campaign. The Gov
ernor also requested every class in every
school in the State to write him letter
setting forth what that particular class
had done to further the campaign. All
of the essays offered in competition for
State awards, Gov. Gardner told me,
will be bound in a volume called THE
North Carolina Youths Declaration of
Independence" This said the Gov
sr7or, will be the Doomsday Book Of
North Carolina
In looking over some of these essays,
posters and letters, I was impressed
by the spantaneity and vitality of most
of them. The children seemed really
interested in the campaign. The con-
tribution of one fourth-grade youngs-

Berlin Physician Finds
Cure for Drunkenness

Drunkards can be cured, according
to DR.. Wilhelm Peterson Of Berlin,
who has been making researches into
the drink problem for many years. As
a result Of his studies, DR.. Peterson
has come to the conclusion that ha-
bttual drinking usually produces de-
fective metabolisn, which then be-
comes the primary cause of the desire
to drink. Peterson concludes that no
cure can be successful unless 1t re-
stores normal metabolisn1. The medi-
cine he recommends Is oxygen. His
many experiments have proved that
oxygen treatments normalize meta
boiism. The drunkard who wants to
get rid of his habit has but to In
hale oxygen twice day for about
Is minutes. These limitations grad
ually weaken the desire for alcohol
eventually causing the habit Of disap-
pear. Or. Peterson Is confident thai

In protocol signed in washington

to Cancellation and resumption OF Dip

dents of December, 1928, in the dis
puted Chaco region. They also agreed
TO re-establish conditions In the Chaco

obliged to rebuild the burned Bolivian
fort, ''Vanguardia, and Bolivia 70

Nazareth is the immortal IL
lustration of the attitude of

had gone out into the world
and become famous; after He
mad performed His miracles In
Capernaeum and even in Jeru-
salem, He went back home.
A crowd of His old neighbors
greeted Him in the synagogue,
but there was no pride or con-
f1dence in their attitude. Their
skeptical expressions spoke
louder than words. "You may
have fooled them in those
other towns, but we know you.
You are only the boy who used
to work In the carpenter shop"
And the record says sadly: 'He
could do there no mighty work,
because of their unbelief."
It's q wonderful thing to
realize that greatness is grow
ing up somewhere around us

prepossessing freckled boy may
be future conqueror. Unfor-
tunately, most of us can never
believe that the home town

Naturally, the results of the ''iiye-at-
home" campaign cannot become fully
apparent until the foodstuffs planted
| last Spring under its stimulus have been
harvested and marketed. Already, how
| ever, there are some tangible results
The Governor told me that enough food
crops had been planted last Spring in
excess of the previous acreage to be
/ worth at fruition about 100000 600.
| Another definite result has been the
establishment or the enlargement OF

A pickle factory has been opened in the
southeastern part of the State; cream
cry has been started in the eastern Sec
| ton; plants for cheese making and re-
lated operations are under way at
| Waynesville In the mountains and at
Albemarle in the Piedmont section.
In addition to this, there has been q
great stimulation of interest in improv-
ing the conditions for marketing food
stuffs locally. The chief manifestation
of this interest has shown itself in the
organization of the Durham Farmers
Exchange in a. well planned building of
its own with paid secretary In charge.
Less tangible but no less important
has been the formation through the
prize contests Of continuing informal
organization among the school children
of the State for the promotion of the
idea. Every Fan and Spring practically

surprisingly large proportion of the
graduating exercises of the rural high
schools.
So, although Gov Gardner undoubt-

of Governors of the Southeastern States,

between trains at Northamp-

The main street was almost

family house where Calvin
Coolidge lived until a few
weeks ago.
I went around to the old
building in which he and his
law partner used to have their
modest Offices. I stood in front
of the square town hall. 1t was
interesting to think of the days
when he was mayor. One

say.

And a stranger in the town
would probably have exclaimed:

If any one had suggested
that the quiet little fellow
might one day be President of
the United States, the laughter
would have echoed from one
end of Main street to the other.

Back Yard of Toxic
May Be An Eldorado


Old coins, semi-precious stones and
irregular pieces OF metal, found In
increasing numbers here, may turn
Tokio's back yard into an Eldorado
for the unemployed.
1t all started when q man out of
work happened to be wandering over
a large tract Of land which has been
reclaimed by the city since the earth
quake and which will be used for fac
tories. The man found about dollars
worth Of coins the first day and twice
that amount the next The news spread
rapidly and a miniature gold rush start
ed before the city authorities stepped
In and divided up the land for exploit
tation by the jobless.
The explanation is that the land
used for the retaining project was
taken from districts which were swept
by fire following the earthquake Of
1928 and which were made over for the
construction of roads and parks. Count
less pieces of money and other yaluables
were left by the flames and never re-
covered. These are now being dug UP

were called In and they were delighted
to find that the thieves had left a

Farmers First to Suffer

Chinese railways and consequently
the farmers are always the first to suf-
fer when civil war breaks out. The
first task for the military chieftain is
TO seize as much rolling Stock as he can
for the transportation OF his troops.
This means that most civil wars are
fought along the railroads and passeE-
ger and freight traffic is paralyzed. The
extent Of this can be seen here. No
line for weeks except troop trains.
Farmers turn to the peculiarly con-
structed wheelbarrow to haul their pro-

CHEST COMMITTEE
! TO STUDY HEATING
Allen Pope Heads Survey oil
Institutions for Economy
in System.

A move announced as designed to
bring about the greatest possible econ
omy in the heating of Community Chest
institutions and make sure that every
possible penny goes into actual service
was made known today when it was an
nounced that Allen Pope, Washing
ton contractor, has been appointed
chairman of a committee to make a
heating survey Of Community Chest in
stitutions. The announcement was made
by Frederic A. Delano, president of the
Community Chest.
This heating survey will cover the
kinds OF fuel used, with a view to sug-
costing less expensive kinds, if possible:
the way in which the fuel is fed to the
furnaces in order to bring about econ
Omies of firing, and the kinds of equip
ment used. with view of suggesting
necessary equipment which will save
fuel and labor as well.
II 'know some institutions, with
changes of the kinds have mentioned,
in which at least half the annual fuel
bill can be saved" Mr. Pope said.
Man" institutions are being heated as
ef1iciently as they can be. On the other
hand, there are others in which great
improvements can be worked out. I
intend to work with the agencies and to
help them solve. IL they can, the heat
ing problems which they may or may
not know they have"
Mr.. Pope is a member of the budget
committee of the Community Chest and
OF its board of trustees. He is preSi-
dent OF the Catholic Charities. He is
a graduate of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology in heating engineer
ing, and his original professional work
was in that field. although he has since
gone into general contracting. His
services and that of the committee
which he will appoint will be rendered
without charge as voluntary contribu-
ton toward more effective and econom-
ical expenditure of Community Chest
funds.
The executive committee of the Com
fnunity Chest in approving this plan has
voted unanimously to express to Mr..
Pope its appreciation of his services.
