Hand Timing.

T DO NOT question the sincerity or
experience Of most Of our timers.
l know number of men who have
held p-watches for twoscore years,
like Mortimer Bishop and the old
master, Col. Charles j. Dieges, without
fear, favor or tremble.
But I also happen to knop
that the consistency OF hand
timing, generally, as compared
NTH electrical or automatic tim
ing, is subject to considerable
question:
This seems to us to be elementary.
Proponents Of timing may say
you can't go wrong by taking the aver
age OF what five watches in five ex-
perienced hands say. Maybe SO, but
laboratory experiments, as well as the
Kirby camera clock" tested and
proved, have shown some rather start
ling comparisons with stop watch tim
ing. In general, the hand timing has
been faster, although 1t may fluctuate
either way.
The fact that such huctuation
actually exists Is enough to sub
ject many stop-watch recordings
to question. 1t seems to US that
the substitution Of electric tim
ing for all our big champion
ship meets, at least, 10 the only
answer to developing real accu-
racy and confidence.

for.
Not in This Life.
ITO our somewhat astigmatic vision,
the "nine-second 100" is no nearer
being achieved now than it was

Church Membership in U. S. Goes
To Highest Total in Past Year
Analysis Said to Show Growth Steadily Outstrips
Growth in the Population of Nation

NEW YORK, June 12.-(UP).
Church membership in the United
States has reached its greatest
total in history during the last
year, according to an annual COM
pilation, announced Sunday by
the Christian Herald.
The statistics, prepared by DR..
George Linn Kieffer, show that
the churches and religious bodies
gained 929,252 members during
1882, these members being IL
years of age or over.
The total membership of
churches in the United States
reached 5O,O37,2O9. according to
the report, and the Is largest
Protestant bodies showed a gain
of 921,941.
The publication declares that
growth in church membership has
steadily outstripped growth in the
country's population. In one gen
eration-from 1900 to 1888
church membership increased
from 27,383,00O to 5O,O37, 2O9.
This represents gain of S2.S
per cent as against a population
gain of 65.8 per cent.
The Baptist church, with an in
crease during 1882 of S47,35S,
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1933-06-12

again led all denominations in
gains. Other denominations which
showed impressive gains were the
Eastern Catholics, with an in
crease of 222,237; the Methodists,
with a gain of 94,607; and the
Lutherans, with a gain of 1898.
In spite of the depression. the
churches made a good financial
showing during 1882, the report
states. Contributions for all
church purposes were 1892 per
capita as compared with S22.62
in the previous year.
The per capita contributions
for benevolences in 1882 were
S3.12 as compared with S3.71 in
1881.
1t is pointed out, in connection
with these slight financial de-
creases, that since 1929 one out
of every six banks has failed, one
out of every as hospitals has
closed. one out of every % bust
ness and industrial companies has
become bankrupt, and that only
one of every 2,344 churches has
closed its doors.
The Christian Herald states, in
summing up the statistical sur
vey that the church "is still the
nations greatest going concern

summer but on a limited basis.
Previous announcement had
been held up by economy plans
of the administration.
The duration of the r. 0. 7. c..
will be four weeks instead of the
usual six weeks.
Trainees at citizens military
camps will be limited to those who
have completed at least the basic
C. NJ. r. C. course.
Approximately $4,000 men, the
war department estimated, would
receive military training in the
two camps during the summer.
Use of regular army and re-
serve officers to train recruits in
President Roosevelt's reforesta-
ton corps probably will result in
a shortage of officers to handle
the R. o. T. C. and C. M. 7. c.,
it was stated.
The war department made no
effort to solve this problem for
corps commanders; the instruc-
tions sent out bearing on this sub
ject said simply:

lied to make such adjustments as
may be necessary under the con-
ditions of the prevailing emery

RALEIGH, June IA gen

the purpose of working out an
agreement for passing the ) per
cent general sales tax along to
the consumers, will probably be
held some time this week, Com
missioner of Revenue A. J. Max
we'll said today. Several prellml-
nary conferences have already
been held with a number Of dit
ferent merchant groups, in which
The situation has been discussed
from a general angle and a gen
cral method of procedure mapped
cut.
THE merchants Of the state
are doing everything possible to
cooperate with the department OF
revenue in the administration OF
the new sales tax law" COmmis-
sioner Maxwell said. "Most OF
them understand the law better
by this time, better realize the
necessity for it and have made
up their minds to do the best
they can under it. l am conf
dent we will have almost 100 per
cent cooperation from the mer-
chants in the administration of
the law"
A supplementary law, passed by
the 1888 general assembly after
it had passed the revenue act
containing the sales tax, specifies
that the sales tax must be passed
on by the merchants to the con-
sumers and that the commissioner
of revenue shall meet with the
merchants and draw up rules and
regulations to compel the passing
on of the tax. Since the new law
goes into effect July l, these
conferences with the merchants
must be held and the necessary
rules and regulation drawn up be-
fore that date.

write a provision into the reve-
nue. act to compel the merchants

WASHINGTON, June II. (UP).
Partial payment of the war debt
installments due on June 15--as
repeatedly suggested by Great
Britain, will be unsatisfactory IN
the opinion of representative
members of the senate.
1t was authoritativcly learned
that President Roosevelt told
British Ambassador Sir Ronald
Lindsay that he could not COM
NIT the United States to any such
plan unless it were formally pre-
sented. Their conversation, it
was said, was strictly informal.
Thirteen foreign countries have

war debts Thursday, a portion of
which amount is due for interest
Senators who expressed an
opinion said the Lindsay proposal
was unsatisfactory in view of the

ments in silver at an approx
mate discount of 80 per cent.

WASHINGTON, June IL. (UP).
Wage increases of between So
and SIS a month for 13 per cent
of the reforestation army were
announced here last night.
Robert D. Fechner, director OF
emergency conservation work, re-
vealed President Roosevelt had
approved an executive order rails

The new regulations specify

BAILEY GETS
DEEPER into
POLITICAL MIRE
Fails Support Administra-
tion; Believed Heading
for Simmons Fate
By J. c. BASKERVILL
The Timcs-Ncws Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, June Ex-senator
Josiah William Bailey is in a hole
and the hole is getting deeper all
the time, according to most opln-
ion here. And while it is not
known yet who will run against
him for the seat he now holds IN
the United States senate when he
comes up for reelection in 1886,
it is agreed he will have plenty Of
opposition. There is a possibility,
Of course. that Senator Bailey
may be able to fill up the hole he
is now in within the next three
Years. But most political obScrv-
crs here doubt very much that he
can do this and are confident he
is heading for the same type Of
calamity that bcfell Senator
Furnifold NJ. Simmons.
One of the hardest wallops
handed to Senator Bailey lately,
according TO opinion here, was
that handed him last week by
Senator Robert r. Reynolds, the
Junior senator from North Caro-
lima. when Reynolds announced
that he would not approve. the Sc
lection of William w. Neal of
Marion for assistant commission
or of internal revenue, but that
he would approve any of 20
others, and named these 20. So
far it is generally agreed that
Senator Bailey has been handing
himself most of the wallOps he
has been getting. But this upper
cut. delivered by Reynolds, is the
first major blow Bailey has re-
ceived from anyone else for
some time and political circles
here arc chuckling over the Incl
dent, though somewhat surprised
at it.
There is no doubt that this
move on the part of Senator
Reynolds has done more to put
Senator Bailey con the spot" here
in North Carolina than anything
that has happened so far, accord
ing to most political thought here.
Many are already Interpreting it
as the first indication Of an open
break between Senators Reynolds

RECORD OCEAN
FLIGHT MADE
Spanish Airmen Land in
Cuba From Seville, Spain,
Sunday P. M.

HAVANA, Cuba, June H.
(UP).-The Spanish trans-Atlan-
tic fiers, Capt. Mariana Barberan
and Lieut.. Joaquin Collar, landed
at Camaguey, in the extreme cas-
tern end of Cuba, at $40 p. m.
Sunday.
They left Seville, Spain, at
1:45 p. NJ, EDIT, Saturday, and
had been expected at Havana
about 5 p. m. yesterday, on a
record westward crossing of the
Atlantic.
The Spanish airmen had been
trying to locate Guantanamo,
United States naval base, but
head winds and bad flying wealth
err made them decide to land at
Camaguey. They had 100 gallons
of gasoline left on arrival
The flight was the longest over
water hop in the history of avia-
ton, the airline from Seville to
Cuba being 5000 miles. They
made it in SO hours and 55 min
utes, averaging nearly 100 miles
an hour in their single-motored
biplane. =,
The flight was made in a mat
ter-of-fact fashion, and with little
advance notice in the press.
Captain Barberan, in an exclu'
sive telephone interview with the
newspaper Ell Paissin Havana,
commented:
eve had no incidents along the
entire route. We found normal
weather conditions prevailing al
the way. None of our calculations
failed.
"After leaving Seville, we
passed over the Madeira Islands

KING GEORGE OPENS ECONOMIC MEET
MCDONALD Sees WAR DEBTS
AS BAR TO World RECOVERY
Congressional Sentiment Shown to be
Against Partial Payments of
June Is Installments

could not commit the United
States in any respect regarding
debt adjustments. Partial pay
ment if submitted to congress
would not be acceptable as a
permanent solution.
Minority Leader McNary ex-
pressed similar sentiment as did
Senator Capper, Republican, Kan
sas, Senator George, Democrat,
Georgia, and Senator LaFOllette,
publican, Wisconsin.
In addition to the sweeping
concessions made in the foreign
debts when they were funded
years ago, the initiation program
of the administration has furth-
er lifted the burden in the past
few months. Instead of using
gold, foreign countries are now
free to paw the debts in paper
American dollars which have de-
preCiated nearly 20 cents from
gold in the past month. Or they
nay meet the current obligations
with silver on the basis of so
cents an ounce with the market
price of silver only 35 cents an
ounce. In the former case they
would obtain a concession of
nearly 20 per cent and in the
case of payment in silver would
save nearly 80 per cent because
of the low market price of silver.
A number Of countries default
ed on December IS. These includ-
ed France, Belgium, Estonla,
Hungary, Poland and Jugoslavia.
None of these countries has indi-
Gated their willingness to resume
payments Thursday.
Total war debt payments to
the United States by the Is debt
or nations since contraction of
the debts total $1,771,143,327,
comprising interest of $1,297.-
