PLAN TO BE
DRAF TED
Rep. PaImisano to Request
Budget Power for
Commissioners

Representative Vincent L. Pal
misano CD. of Maryland, an
nounced today he will request
the new District Commissioners
as soon as they are appointed,
to draft a bill giving them the
authority to prepare future Dis
trict appropriation bills, thereby
separating District fiscal prob
lens from the Bureau of the
Budget.
The new fiscal relations Set-up
will be submitted to Congress i'm
mediately on it's reconvening in
January, he said.
Under Palmisano's plan. which
he announced a few days ago,
the District Commissioners, in
stead of sending department es-
Inmates to the Budget Bureau,
would themselves write the bill.
Palmisano said he is of the opi1-
ion that the Commissioners,
knowing the needs of the Dis
trict, are better qualified to pre-
pare the bill than the Federal
agency.
The Maryland Representative
who is a member of the House
District Committee, would have
Congress set the Federal lump
sum contribution at one amount
and maintain that contribution.
Although he said at first he
would not have Congress inter-
vene in any way in passage of
the appropriation bill, he de-
clared today ne would ask the
Commissioners to draw up the
bill so that Congress will have
ultimate approval powers.

AS to PetrifactiOn
NJ Record of Human Body's Ever
Having Turned into Stone

In reading the account Of the
exhumation Of DR.. Durham" :"
Gerald r. Mccarthy, member Of
the University's geology faculty,
writes to the editor, Il note that
several people expressed the
idea that the body had been pet
rihed. It might interest you to
know that no authentic example
Of the petrifaction Of flesh,
either human or animal, has ever
come 10 light. 1t is true that
more than one petrified man has
been exhibited in side-shows and
dime museums, but all such have
Deen shown to be fakes, artificial
objects constructed for the pur-
pose.
Flesh seems to be chemically
incapable Of petrifaction, al
though that is not to say that it
can not be preserved at all.
Sometimes natural mummies are
found where the flesh has dried
down TO leathery consistency,
Dut that is far cry from petri-
faction. When bodies, particu-
.arly if they be Of stout people,
are buried in wet graves, the
flesh undergoes d chemical
change and is converted to q
waxy or soapy consistency which
may last for great many years.
Examples Of the prehistoric IN
habitants Of northwestern Eu-
rope have been found we'll pre-
served in this fashion. But that
is not petrifaction. Of course
human flesh, if carefully en-
balmed and then sealed up in an
air-tight coffin, should last as
long as the coffin remains air
tight, as would any organic mat
ter under similar circumstances
Bones, shells, and wood are
frequently petrified, flesh never.

How Much Do Experts Know

The theory o. democratic gov

experts. The mass Of fhe peo-
pie elect their representatives.
These representatives employ
persons VINO. by reason Of their
training and proved ability. are
presumed TO know Jar more than
ordinary people about education,
agriculture, engineering. bank
ing. the tariff, foreign relations.
and all other matters with which
he government has u deal
Such Is the theory.
w Do not know just what 10
call man VINO is the opposite
q az expert. Suppose We bor-
row from the language and call
hin a dub.
The natural inclination q the
dub is 10 regard The expert with
reverence approaching awe.
"Of course ] don't know any
thing about running the treas
ury." he says To himself An
drew Mellon il d great financler
whatever ne says must be right
Or: Norman Davis knows the
tricks Of diplomacy let him deal
with this question Of disarna-
ment. - Or: Roosevelt and
Woodin must know what to do
about staying on or going of the
gold standard; I'm willing TO
trust il 10 them
And yet not day passes that
does not Justify the suspicion
On the part Of a thoughtful dub
If dub can be thoughtful
that. after all, his guess is just
about as apt to be right as the
expert calculations.
Consider prize fighting, for ex-
ample. The New York Heratd
Tribqlne says that Carnera was
the only winner in more than d
generation, in q big fight, who
was faVorite III the betting
and the odds on MIN were only
6 10 5. Dempsey, who ought
u be an expert if there ever was
one picked Sharkey TO win. Two
or three weeks earlier 22 ont of
p 'leading sports writers, sup
posed 10 be experts, predicted
that Schmeling would conquer
Baer and see what happened
The experts said Dempsey woulC
beat Tunney They said Jefrles
would beat Jack Johnson They
said Sullivan would beat COrbett
back in 1892. On the record, il
would appear that If anybody is
in doubt upon whom 10 bet or
in pfize-fight the safest course
would be to see whom the ex-
perts pick as the winner and
then bet on the other man
During the war the military
experts wrote long and learned
II about strategy and foretolc
confidently the course and The
outcome Of, campaigns. Subse-
ouent events showed that then
predictions were mostly wrong.
Again and again, in the 1920's
in his estimates Of the Govern

wide Of the fact as any wild
guesser would have been. II

Birmingham. Pasquotank is in
easy reach Of Norfolk and Rich
mond. The mountains would be
suitable for a summer or g. late
spring racing season, the low
lands for winter or perhaps a
late fall season. As between the
two. our guess would be that
Polk had better chance than
Pasquotank Of being placed upon
the national circuit. Rich peo-
pie from many states have their
homes in and around Tryon, and
the community has an aura Of
wealth and an atmosphere Of
sOphisticatiOn which seem TO be
more in accord with horse racing
than are the rural and relatively
austere mores Of the people Of
Pasquotank.
And Tryon is already sort

serrer, d horse show mas been
maintained in this fine little
mountain city, and it has proved
classy affair, drawing annual
Ily visitors and horse fanciers
from many parts Of the coun-
try Racing, as d matter Of
course, has been d feature Of the
show. and this has added inter
est to the occasion. The Tryon
Horse Show is largely respon:
sible for Polk county taking the
lead in legalized betting-any
sort Of betting has prevailed at
the horse show-and the pari-
mutuel system is henceforth TO
prevail. It was the Tryon Horse
Show that carried the election
for Polk county, and by the same
token, the Tryen Horse Show,
from merely interstate affair,
is TO assume national proper
tons. and may become, in time,
one Of the most famous Of horse
centers in the country The vote
Of the county was more than
tWo-to-one in favor Of the races.
Try0n is contiguous to AsheVllle
and is 10 benefit from the horse
tracing sentiment prevailing
there-and by Asheville's fail
ure to get by with the pari-
mutuel proposition"
IF we catch the meaning,
comments the Raleigh Times.
"the tofs who have been max
ing a resort of Tryon and put
ting on horse-shoW have been
Iindulging, incidentally, in lit
tie gentleman jock racing, and
betting with each other, as the
unregenerate do AT such things
as ball games and priZe-tlghts.
But the new order Of affairs will
produce, in all probability, a bet
ter course, better horses, and
Ibetter riders Of the professional
persuasion. The betting will be
managed decently and mathe-
matically, and by its nature will
be free from graft. The county
will profit some more from its
transients, whose numbers will
be increased Everybody will
have good time except those
who think that only the Devil
enjoys a horse race"
We wish Polk county well in
It's new venture, and we pray
that the national arbiters of rae
ing will decide to have the great
thoroughbreds perform every
year in this charming nook in
our North Carolina mountains.

JUNIORS PRESENT SCROLLS Of.
APPRECIATION To NEWSPAPERS

In appreciation of the coopera-
tion given the Junior chamber of
commerce by the newspapers of
this city, framed scrolls expressing
the chamber gratitude were pre-
sented to the Imperial Valley Press
and Morning Valley Farmer at the
regular weekly meeting of the
chamber this morning. President
Cal Rector made the presentation
speech while w. C. Costello accept
ed and responded for The Press
and Russell Bennitt for the Farm
er.
This presentation was in line
With the project of the month
sponsored by the national organi-
zation which had designated this
meeting throughout all its branches
as press testimonial day.
Roy w. Thompson, president of
the associated chambers of COM
merce was the guest speaker for
this meeting. His subject was
' Achieve and Be Happy, and
cited the Junior chamber as a.
splendid organization through which
services to community might be
rendered. He stated that unity
OF purpose in the valley should be
aimed at by all districts and de-
cried the petty jealousies and quar-
rels which have so often prevented
concentrated action in valley af-
fairs when such was needed.
Reference was made to the activ-
lties Of the Junior chamber in the
coming Red Cross membership
drive and the local emergency re-
lief drive. A meeting of the latter
organization was held last night
and it was decided to start drive
for funds for this city emergency
relief on dollar a month for six

that territory between Seventh and
Eighth streets was apportioned to
the Juniors with the drive to start
next Friday morning The Red
Cross drive behind which the Jun
lors are aligned 100 per cent will
get under way Saturday morning.
They will work with other local or
carnations and it was emphasized
that this is not general funds
campaign but dollar membership
move.

ley was discussed and an effort

POLICE WAR
ON VICE RING

LOS ANGELES, Nov. %. U.P)-
The story Of an 18-year-old Oak
land girl that she was held a pri-
Soner in Long Beach vice resort
resulted today in renewed police
campaign in the Metropolitan area.
Police raided an establishment
in the Hollywood district, which
they declared served as a booking
office" forp roprietors of vice re-
sorts. One man and two women were
arrested and taken to Long Beach
on the theory the office served es-
adjustments in the beach area.
County authorities said they
would attempt to paddock the Long
Beach hotel where Scharlett Nc
Kenzie said she was held captive
after being lured from her home in
Oakland in the promise of obtain
ing a job. Inc girl said she had
managed to escape and notified po-
lice.
Art Berman, %, whom she ac-
cused of escorting her from her
home, was arrested. Helen Dewitt,
27, of Stockton, also was held, as a
companion of Berman.
