CAROLINE MOTORISTS
In view of the record showing that
Is persons were killed in accidents on
the highways of North Carolina in
the month of August, 10 more than
in the corresponding month last year
and p more than in July this year,
there should be general response to the
request Of Capt. Chas. D. Farmer,
commander of the state highway pat
rol, for cooperation on the part of the
public. Specifically Captain Farmer
asks that license numbers of cars pas
sing others on hills and curves or
otherwise violating the law be repor-
ted to the patrol headquarters at
Raleigh, with the date and approx
mate hour of the ofense. In each case
reported, he says, warning will be
sent to the owner Of the car, unless
the informant will appear as a wit
ness, in which case the driver will be
arrested. Captain Farmer thinks,
however, that if the public would
make it a rule to report the numbers
of all automobiles or other motor We
hicles involved in violation of the law
so that warnings can be sent them by
patrol headquarters, it will prove ef-
fective in reducing violations.
Certainly, in view of the alarming
recent increase in the number of fatal
accidents on the highways, all traffic
officers, courts and citizens should
cooperate in war against reckless
driving.

GRAMMATICAL PROGRESS"

$3.50
In the Atlantic Monthly, Stuart Robertson sets forth
the four stages of grammatical progress. 1T is an am
using article. His outline of these steps follows:
"First stage, blissful Ignorance. Second, uneasy
consciousness. Third, assured confidence. Fourth
renewed dubiety."
In the first stage, he explains, the simple statement
of an i'll feeling is, T feel bad and you suffer no
doubts about bad at all.
"In the second stage, after parents and school teach
ers have got in some deadly work on the subject Of
adverbs, you're sure that must be wrong and you try
it out as, I feel badly
"A step further and you are Informed on the SUBJ
ject Of copulative verbs and the queer ways Of verbs
Of sensation. Once more, you feel 'bad,' and feel
quite sure that you're right in feeding it just that way.
'Fourthly, you get upset because many of your cul-
tured friends always feel badly So much so that it
makes you feel badly to feel bad"
The writer in The Atlantic gives no definite advice
ON the subject and not being expert ourselves we won't
make the attempt either, but The Columbia State ad-
vises that if you use logic, which is more than the En-
glish language does, The Winston-S Salem Journal thinks,
you'll find yourself in some queer places if you adopt
the "ly' rule.
: For instance, The baby looked 50 ssweet1y, sounds
Q little quantity, doesn't 1t!
1.-THE chocolate tastes bitterly likewise appears
oddly.
my hands feel very roughly doesn't sound very
smoothly, does it,
g. The rose smell fragrantly,' but that does not, look
just rightly.
Suppose, too, you have young persons about: Do
they every feel bad7 No, nor badly, either If all is
well they feel o K or 'oke.' Or, On the other hand
they feel lousy. Can you with straight face and SER
ious intent instruct a young man to travel the high
and cultured road by saying: feel okely.'
"Or worse still, Il feel lousily.'"

Writing in The University News Letter, E.,C.
Branson says movements toward county consolida-
ton in 81 counties Of 20 States and II statewide
consolidation proposals contradict the apparent politi-
Cal difficulties of putting over such Mergers
Plans to merge counties, we are told, are being con-
sidered in Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, New York,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia North
Carolina, Washington and Wisconsin. In addition in
vestigations are proposed and underway in the follow
ing states:
ALBANIA, California, Idaho, Montana, Michigan,
New Hampshire, and South Carolina.
If counties can be consolidated in these various
States, then taxes can be materially reduced. 1t is a
difficult proposal to put across, to be sure, but if the
people really want it, they can get it. 1t will require
some sacrifices and some shifting of material posses
sions, but just the same We are wasting thousands that
could be saved and getting no more than would be
possible under the consultations.

NEW USES FoR-IAR-HEEL PRODUCTS

State Geologist H. ]. Bryson brings the cheering
news not only that this State has more different kinds
of minerals than any other, but that new uses are be-
ing found for them.
Wall paper made from spun glass, porcelain enam-
eled sections to be used in the construction of filing
stations and roadside eating stands, and even porcelain
covered shingles for exterior walls and roofs are a.
mong some of the new uses to which Tar Heel min
erals are being put, and these new uses, Mr.. Bryson
promises, are going to mean 4 great deal in developing
the mineral industry in the State.
Two-thirds of the concerns manufacturing build
ing materials increased their research activities last
year, and 80 per cent. of the building materials manu-
facturers are marketing new products developed as the
result of their research activities, recent survey made
by a large technical magazine shows. 8ryson pointed
out.
The results of the new discoveries made from this
research will mean an increase in the use of many GER
amic materials found in North Carolina, especially
kaolin and quartz, used in the manufacture of glass,
and other minerals used in the many new products
being developed. -

RAILROADS AND THE UNEMPLOYED

The public is always the loser when competition is
unfair.
This modern industrial axiom is especially applica-
bic in the case of the railroads. Eighty-fve per cent
Of the nations freight is carried by them-and no
other agency could carry it as cheaply and as efficiently.
Yet inequitably regulated land and water competition
has forced railroad retrenchment, resulting in the pass
ing of dividends by many lines, and contributing fur
Their to unemployment.
In the single state of New Jersey there are 10000
fewer residents in railroad employ than there were
four years ago, and railroad payrolls to residents of the
state have been reduced $27, 600, 900 annually. 1t
must be remembered that the earnings of railroads
cannot be compared to those Of other businesses, mas
much as during years of prosperity stringent regula-
ton prevents them from making even as much as
six per cent on their investment.
We are all interested in the railroads, whether we
know it or not. They occupy a position of the first
Importance in the industrial scheme and their ~prosperi-
ty is directly related to the prosperity, or lack Of it,
of banks, insurance companies and a multitude of man-
ufacturing and producing industries. What happens
to the railroads will, directly or indirectly, affect us all.

In the 1882 fiscal year they cost 81, 195, 1oo,o oo-
an increase of 6 per cent. The cost of one depart
ment increased 22o per cent in that time-another
jumped III per cent-two Others went up 113 per
cent and 1o6 per cent. respectively.
The most amazing phase of this is that we were in
a far better position to pay in 1927 than in 1882.
Those were boom days, when extravaganza was taken
almost as a matter of course. In the last three years
businesses and individuals have been forced to cut costs
and adjust outgo to reduced income. Only the gov
ernmental departments and commissions and bureaus
and whatnots have demanded that an unending stream
Of dollars be ~ready-for them to spend.
The meaning Of all this should be clear enough by
now. We face the specter of tax bankruptcy. We are
experiencing a tax policy that is forcing money into
tax-free bonds, throttling business and creating unem-
ployment and distress. Government extravaganza and
waste strike deep into every pocketbook.
There is but one solution-drastic cuts in the cost
of government. There is but one instrument for
achieving that-the demand of the people, who pay
the taxes and cast the votes. Theirs is the final word.
Until that word is spoken 'enphatically at the polls,
the economic future of America must remain by
doubt.

THE COST OF LIVING

The cost of living has been steadily declining in the
United States for ten years. Today is nearer to what
it was before the war than it has reached since
just been issued.
The war sent the prices of all commodities up until,
in 1920, it cost the average city dweler just about
twice. as much in rents, fuel, food, clothing and the
other essentials of life, to say nothing of luxuries, as it
cost for the same things seven years before. In ten
years two-thirds of this increased cost has been Topped
off, so that today the general average of living costs is
only about a third greater than it was in 1913.
The period of high commodity costs was, however,
the period of our highest national prosperity. From
1922 to 1929 prices maintained a fairly even level of
about 20 percent more than in 1913. Everybody was
busy, everybody was earning more money than we had
ever earned before, more goods were being produced
and sold at profitable prices than ever before, and the
people of the United States were in a happy and con-
tented frame of mind. Then the sudden drop in COM
modify prices began and we have had hard times,
business depression and unemployment ever since.
1t seems to us that here is conclusive proof that
prosperity is dependent upon high prices. All of the
statesmen, economists and fnanciers of the world a.
greed that is true. An intensive and widespread effort
is being made to find a way of restoring and increasing
commodity prices. An international committee is to
meet shortly in Geneva to prepare the plans and pro-
gram for a worldwide conference of governments in
the effort to find some way to solve this problem. In
the meantime, the upward trend has begun in many
commodity lines, and the whole outlook seems to be
toward better prices, which ,rneans, in the long run,

IN THE SPRING THE OLD TIMERS
FANCY

April Is was the opening date this
year. On that day the first inquiry
arrived. Minnesota reader asked me
to advise him of spring tonic with
the use of sulphur and just how to
mix and take it.
This season the proportion of such
inquiries in the mail was distinctly
less than it has been in former sea-
sons. It looks as tho the old timers
are gradually relinquishing their ven
cradle traditions. Ho-hum, what a
dull world this will be when all those
fine old romantic notions have gone
a-glimmering.
Sulphur is a laxative. 1t has no
appreciable effect other than that.
Probably sulphur is not absorbed into
the blood at all when taken as Sui
phur, but only when it is present IN
natural chemical compounds in such
foods as eggs, beans, meat, cheese
fish, milk, peas, wheat, flour, oat-
meal and potatoes. There is COM
paratively little sulphur in the human
body, about one-fourth as much sui
phur as phosphorus, for example, and
about one eighth as much sulphur as
calcium Qime).
The only effect of sulphur taken In
medicinal dose is laxative. A favorlte

Beyond Prediction

Moritz Frank, who when six years
old won the applause Of crowned
heads for his ability mentally to add
great columns of figures is penni-
less patient in the poorhouse hospi-
tai at Budapest, Hungary.
When he was seven, he was taken
to Vienna and received by Emperor
Franz Joseph and Empress Elizabeth.
A general told him the number of
regiments in the imperial armies, the
number of officers, non-commis-
stoned officers and soldiers in each
regiment. and the pay of each Ca
tegory. The boy gave the correct to-
tai for the daily pay of the army.
He performed other mathematical
marvels bordering on the occult and
no one dared predict what that jul
venile mind would accomplish when
lit reached maturity. The possible
ties were too vast.
Certainly no one thought that, at
sc, an unkind fate would consign him
to the hospital as a public charge.

Minimizing the Chances

It is permissible to wonder just how
far an international conference on
world economic conditions Is likely to
get if all discussion of reparations and
war debts is omitted, as this govern
ment has stipulated
To be sure, there are several hum
dred answers to the great question,
What is wrong with the world?" And
nobody seems quite wise enough to
tell us just which one of them may
be most nearly correct. Yet it seems
fairly obvious that the reparations-
war debts tangle is inextricably tied
up with the general economic collapse.
Can the job of setting world bust
ness right be tackled properly If 1t
be assumed from the start that repair
ations and war debts are strictly Sec
ondary matters? Maybe so; but 1t
does seem as if such an attitude dis
tinctly minimizes the chances for sue
cess.
