DON HOPES TODAY
 10 BREAK RECORD
B1ltlSheG Has Hard Luck With IeInpeTanental Speedste1

Daytona, Beach, Fla, March IS tCP)-There was optimism today over the, possibility of Kaye Don, British racing driver, plunging his silver Bullet over the Daytona sands to q new worlds speed record.
 The optimism grew out of the very adversities which prevented Don making more than really sorry shoWlnS as far as speed was con- cerned in yesterdays trial run.
 Impressed With Persistence
 Those who saw him. smile and in sst he was going to resume his run each time his 4,000 horsepower ma chlnc developed q fit of tcmpcra- ln"nt and refused to- go. were so inn pressed with the man that they came to believe him capable Of anything If his car and the weather would but give him q chance
 To break the record he must drive twice over the nine mile Daytona course within a period of 50 minutes, the fifth mile being timed each way and the average for the two runs be- Ing the record. Don's countryman. Major Henry Segrave, now holds the record set a year ago at 23l.3G miles per hour
 yesterdays performance was heart t-brCakinG. The car twice stop ped from overhcating and the third tune oil and gas which had accumu- lated under the hood caught fire and inc fire eNtinguiShcrs had to be used to prevent a catastrophe.
 Refuses to Give Up . IL was only then that Don gave up. Twice before when the car stopped he insisted on it being started again and refused 10 listen when urged to abandon his attempt to set q speed record before sunset. When he could run no longer he still smiled
 wen try tomorrow" he said as he rode away with his proud Silver Bullet iGnominou4ly under the tow ago of q wrccller.
 The tide will be favorable for q run late today. If Don fails to break the record then he may have 10 wait until the end of the week for satis- factory conditions Of the beach.

CENSUS OF WORK PART OF INQUIRY
Unemployment Figures to Be
 Taken in Canvass

Washington, March IS P)-Ad- ministration officials are awaiting expectantly the census of unemploy- ment next month, which is to de- termine for the first time the num- Der of persons idle in the United States as result of economic con- ditions, including the depression following the stock market crash.
 Secretary Davis has estimated that the total does not exceed 5,000,000. Other estimates have ranged higher. Steps to Follow Figures ~On the results of the count will depend the measures which the gov ernment will undertake to relieve the situation. It was pointed out to- day that in the absence of definite information, it has been impossible 10 take effective steps for solving the problem. Action will be possi- blc, however, 1t was added, both by congress and by the administration when data is available as to the ex- lCllC VI uiItIil pioy illtlll, lllC IIlu tries seriously affected, the periods of time during which employees in these industries are idle and the causes.
 Sworn to keep confidential for the census bureau information obtained concerning unemployment. the cen sus takers will ask questions as to employment of all persons who usually are working al some gainful occupation. These will include, par ticularly, persons who ordinarily earn wages, but will include also those who carry on. or have car ried on, their own independent busi- nesses. Unemployment in this lat ter class is not expected, however, to be found very troublesome.
 Na,hcs to Be Taken
 The names of all gainful workers preceding the cnumcrator's call will be recorded in the canvass, but all of these will not be counted as un- employed. Persons who report that they have no jobs at all will be ask ed whether they are able to work, whether they have sought a job and the reason for being out of work. Those who report they do have job but arc not at work at the time will be asked why, and whether they arc losing pay by not being at work.
 Queries also are to be propound- cd both to those without jobs and those on layoff as to how long they have been idle. The extent of un- employment in the nation depends, it was said. as much on the length of the period of idleness as upon the humber idle.
 Fifth Such Canvass
 This will be the fifth canvass of unemployment, others having been taken in 1880, 1890. 1900, and 1910. In 1921, President Harding's confer ence on unemployment sought in formation on the subject, but it's compilers reported only that the to- tai lay somewhere between 3,500.- 900 and $500 GOO.
 After the census is taken next month, Secretary Lamont expects to use it as basis for keeping abreast of unemployment. This will be done by a. process. of ''sampling" in vari- tions exist.

Need for More Judges
"A sheDille Times

The supreme court Of North
Carolina is known as a bench Of
hard workers. They have to
live laborious days in order to
give each case the consideration
merited by an action on appeal,
and to set forth their opinions
with all the precision necessary
in a final pronOuncement by a
court of review.
These justices should have
more time to study the appeals
coming before them, unhurried
by the thought that an enormous
task Of physical and mental ex-
ertion awaits them in preparing
the written decisions.

County Government Reform

Revelations of incompetence
and corruption in county gov
ernment, within the last year or
so, have led TO various sugges-
tons for reform. One sugges-
ton has been that several coun-
ties should be combined in order
TO prevent duplication of work.
The present county establish
ment is the relic Of a day when
travel was slow and difficult, and
when, therefore, the center of
government had to be fairly
close to the citizens. Today the
seat of county two hundred
miles square could be reached
by the citizens with less trouble
than it used to take to go from
Chapel Hill to Hillsboro on a
wet day. 1t is true that coun-
ties have gone to the expense Of
building new cOurthouses. But
these need not be wasted. Take
the spittoons out of 'em and
turn em into school houses.

Extravaganza and ParsimOny
baltimore EUening Sum

(Bditimore EUening Sun)
The bureaucrats ia Washing
ton, having discovered that the
people are actually getting some
thing for the $65, 100000 the
postofiice costs them over and
above its revenues, are deter
mined that that expenditure
shall cease. The bureaucrats
are all in favor Of spending
$165, 100000 on a department Of
agriculture, most of whose ac-
tivities are idiOtic and some of
them pestiferous, and $348,OOO,-
900 on a treasury department,
many millions Of which are de-
voted to a campaign of harasslng
taxpayers even to the point Of
numbering them on the public
highways, but when it comes to
spending sos, 900, 900 on a postal
service which is highly valuable
they are all against it.
So they proceed to try to save
the money by loading twice as
much work on poor devils OF
mail-carriers in Baltimore and
other cities. The result is
waving the likelihood of killing
a lot of carriers with overwork
that they reduce the efficiency
of the only department of the
Government that is worth more
than it costs.

Miss Dukes Debut

The New York Herald Tribune
gives this account Of the debut
of Miss Doris Duke, daughter of
the late James B. Duke, in New
port, Rhode Island.
Miss Doris Duke made her
debut tonight at dance for 600
given by her mother at Rough
Point. The party took the place
Of the usual tennis ball and was
the largest debutante entertain
ment- Of the season. Miss Duke,
who was one of the small group
of American debutantes received
at Court in England this spring,
was presented by her mother to
the colonists as they arrived
from a round of dinners. The
Meyer Davis and Vincent Lopez
orchestras provided music for
continuous dancing and the Roy
al Hungarian Orchestra played
in the supper tent.
Rough Point, the former
Leeds villa, is one of the largest
homes in the colony. A supper
tent was erected from the main
residence, fronting on the ocean,
where spotlights played on the
breaking waves under the stone
bridge of the cliff walk. Lights
were placed in the gardens, and
food lights illuminated the trees
and a statue opposite the main
entrance"
