VALUE OF BIRD
MEASURED BY EGG

The biggest income from pou-
try in North Carolina is through
the sale Of eggs and about the only
way to measure the value of
either males or hens as breeders is
the record made by their descend
ants in producing eggs.
Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the
poultry department at State COL
lege, says the average flock owner
cannot undertake the time and ex-
pense necessary to measure this
performance and so he suggests
that highly bred birds or Matching
eggs be secured from time to time
from professional breeders.
"The work of accommodating this
information about the laying quail
titles of hens, stnrts with using
pedigreed males mated in sim
gle, pens with trap-nested females
and in turn trapnesting this fe-
male progeny" says Mr.. Dear
styne. This system is rather ex-
pensive but it is the only sound
method Of determining the true
worth of the breeders and in the
long run, it pays an extremely
high dividend"

YOUR STATE FLAG

North Carolina was one of the
Original Thirteen Colonies. The
model of the flag as used today was
adopted in 1885. 1t consists of a
blue union containing in the CEN
ter thereof a white star with the
letter N in gilt on the right Of
the star. The fly of the flag con-
sists of two equally proportional
bars, the upper bar red and the
lower bar white. The length of
these bars is equal to the perpen-
dicular length of the union, and
the total length of the flag is one
third more than its width.
Above the star in the center of
the union is a gilt scroll in semi
circular form, Containing in black
the inscription: MAY 20, u.s."
and below the star is a similar
scroll containing the inscription:
april II, 1776." This first date
was placed on the flag to mark
the signing of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of independence. The
second date marks the day on
which the Halifax Convention en-
powered the North Carolina mem
bers in the Continental Congress
to concur with the delegates of the
other colonies in declaring indie
Pendence.
When the National Declaration
of independence was declared on
July 4, 1776, North Carolina was
represented in the Continental
Congress by three men, William
Hooper, Joseph Hewes, and John
Penn, and as such these men had
the honor of signing the national
document.

Railroads Seek To Retain Rate Increase
New Chevrolet Cars
Are Coming Soon

That a radically new line of
Chevrolet passenger cars will be
introduced next month was made
! known officially here this week by
C.. F. Raney, general manager of
Raney-Cline Motor Company, this
city.
The new series will be the fifth
annual Chevrolet model to employ
a six cylinder engine, the first vol
ume Chevrolet six having been an
nounced in November, 1928. Since
that time, building skies exclusive
ly, the company manufactured
nearly 100000 units
A longer wheelbase, extensive
changes in body design, and a
'"price which takes. account of to-
days incomes" are promised in the
1888 car. The extended wheelbase
coupled with many improvements
in the body, in performance, con
omy, power, safety and other fac
tors, indicate "a model much i'm
proved over the present line, and
set at rest rumors current in trade
circles that the new Chevrolet
would be a '''stripped' model de-
signed to meet the bare needs of
transportation.
From an economic standpoint,
the Chevrolet announcement has
national significance in that the
company leads ali other manufac-
eurers in the largest industry in
the world. This is one of the ma
jor contributions made by any A
merican company this year to ma
tional betterment in trends of en-
ployment and materials consump-
ton.
Nearly 10000 of the new 1888
series, valued in excess of $20,000,-
600, will be required for dealers
announcement purposes alone, and
the manufacture of at least that
number is assured within the next
few weeks.

BANK FAILURES

NO1\1VA1AL D1AlSN "
Bank suspensions in October, for
the country as a whole, were on a
more favorable basis than at any
time since the wave Of failures
started three years ago. Instead of
the big increase usually shown in
every October, the number for this
month was only about the same as
for September The change for the
better is shown most strikingly by
the figures, 81 failures for October,
1882, against 522 for the same
month last year. The number this
month was only normal.
Total failures for this year will
probably amount to about 1900.
making a total of approximately
5000 for the three years of the de-
This is a CHASTITY record,
even though 50 per cent Of all the
bank and a larger percentage of all
the deposits came through safely
Even in the good years before
the depression the average number
of bank failures each year was be-
tween 500 and 700. This indicates
need for greater ear in granting
charters and closer supervision Of
operations.
This will probably receive con
sideration by the next Congress.

eve are of the opinion that

The world today acclaims the
first woman ever to wing the
Atlantic in solo flight.
Five years ago today Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, an obscure
Midwesterner, successfully COM
pleted the first solo transatlantic
flight.
Today Amelia Earhsrt Putnam,
who bears a peculiar facial re-
semblance to that intrepid flier,
landed her plane at Londonderry,
Ireland.
This feat chalks up the second
transatlantic flight for the tall,
frail young woman, who four
years ago won worldwide fame
as the first woman successfully
to span the Atlantic.
Was Passenger Then
In that flight, however, Amelia
was accompanied by Pilot Wilmer
Stultz and Mechanic Lou Gordon.
The attention Of the world on
June 18, 1928, was focused on
the Friendship, a giant seaplane,
which took off from st. Johns,
Newfoundland, carrying the Bos-
ton settlement worker who
avowedly made the flight to laid
the family fortune"
After nine unsuccessful at
tempts to lift the huge Seaplane
into the air, it was off on that
dreary morning.
Overcast skies accompanied
that flight all the way to BURY
Inlet in South Wales and it was
a rain-Soaked multitude that
greeted the weary trio after its
2,400-mile flight.
First Woman Across
It was the first time a woman
had flown the Atlantic and it
was the first time that a sea
plane had accomplished a non
stop transatlantic flight.
Amelia had done it and with
cries of "Atta girl, Amelia" /"
London and Paris cheered the
woman who had made history.
