|C..0f c. Tag Day
Is Arranged For
Wednesday, Jana
Tuesday Night Dinner For
Civic Clubs AT Skyland
To Precede 1t

Wednesday will be observed as
Chamber of Commerce dollar or
tag day. Civic workers will can
vass the business districts Of the
city and solicit business and pro-
fessional men for a dollar contri-
button to Chamber of Commerce
work.
1t has been the custom of this
organization to carry over a little
indebtedness into January each
year but this has been cleared up
during the early part of the
month. The purpose of tag or
dollar day is to give this civic or
ganization a clean slate to begin
1888 with.
AS a forerunner of this event,
J. L. Rarden will compliment the
directors Of Kiwanis, Rotary and
golf clubs and the Chamber of
Commerce with a dinner at the
Skyland hotel Tuesday night. Mr..
Rarden feels that an event of this
kind when 35 men, the heads of
the civic organizations, can be
gotten together to consider COM
munity matters, will be the means
of stimulating civic activity and
improving the outlook for the new
year.

1888 TROUBLES
Earthquakes, Fires, Floods

Lot For y. S.
By H. ALLEN SMITH
Tnised Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

HOBOKEN, N. j., Jan 2 (UP)
Seated before a chart which
looked like the cross-section of
a drunkard's liver, Professor
Gustave Meyer, amiablc seer of
Hoboken, Sunday jumbled up a
lot of Sagittarius, Gemini and
Capricorn to determine "what
( the stars say for 1888"
This is an annual ceremonial
for the professor, who lives in a
little brick house, wears a black
ribbon on his glasses, likes beer
and calls himself "the nations
counselor and American scienti-
fic astrologer."

chat there will be another bust
ness depression during the spring
quarter, and that prohibition will
be put on the spot"
Professor Meyer tackles the
year by quarters and the result
| is somewhat confusing since, fol
example, he finds that cows will
have good luck in the spring,
bad luck in the summer, bad
luck in the fall and bad luck in
the winter.
Perhaps the most startling OF
his prognostications concern the
threat of great and serious
earthquakes which will occur
throuphout the country. He also
feels that there will be fires and
violent explosions in the White
House during the year.
Among the people and things
| to be fortunate this year. &C
cording TO the astrological charts
are school children, theatres
hotels, soldiers, diplomats, farm
ers, miners. realtors ocean lines
newspaper reporters and astrolo
gers.
On the other hand, postmast'
ers, bankers, prOhibitionl $
clergymen and Franklin d
Roosevelt are due for much
worry and woe, the professor
said.
President-elect Roosevelt, ht
declared, will be under an evl
planetary aspect early in 1888,
and will experience "mucf

EXCESS TEMPERATURE HERE
OVER PERIOD OF PAST YEAR
TERMED RARE PHENOMENA
By T. w. VALENTINE
Cooperative U. S. Weather c

Hendersonville data for the
year 1882 show a mean tempera-
ture for the year two degrees
above the yearly normal and to-
tai precipitation 4.79 inches above
the yearly normal.
The departure of two degrees
in temperature is quite unusual.
For Individual months departure
of eight degrees or more in a win
ter month and two to three de-
grees in a summer month is not
very uncommon; but for as long
a period as a year a departure of
two degrees is extremely low. The
months showing the largest plus
departures were January G.9)
and February $50: the largest
minus departure was in March
(3.3).
January, June, July, October,
November and December were
characterized by precipitation in
excess of the normal; the other
six months showed a minus depar-
ture. The largest deviation from
the normal was in October when
the rainfall was considerably more
than twice as great as normally
occurs in that month.
The following tables show the
mean temperature and total pre-
cipitation for each month and for

IMPOSSIBLE If

Official Report Says Work

Loss OF Million
NO CONSTRUCTION IS
PLANNED FOR 2 YEARS
By J. c. Baskerville
The Times News Bureau
Cir Wnlknr Hnfal


RALEIGH, Jan. EVEN with
complete cessation of any new
highway construction with state
funds, which is already contcm-
plated, the State Highway Com
mission will not be able to spare
even $1,0O0,00O from its funds
for general state purposes, much
less 100000 as recommended
by the State Tax Commission,
without virtually wrecking the
maintenance of the county road
systems.
This was the contention today
of Chairman E. 5. Jeffress of
the State Highway Commission
in releasing the first section of
the biennial report Of the COM
mission, containing figures which
he maintains show that the high
way fund cannot be dipped into
| for other purposes and highways
still be maintained.
"With a prospective decrease
of 100000 in highway fund
revenue in sight this year as
compared with last year, we are
not planning on any new high
way construction for the next
two years. since the amount of
revenue in sight will be barely
enough for maintenance" Chair
Man Jeffress said. "The fact
that no new construction can be
, carried on will also mean a def
mite increase in the cost of main
tenance On old roads that other
wise would be reconstructed. So
if any portion Of the highway
revenue Ia diverted 1the lsaxt 70
years, it must come out Of main
tenance of the county roads.
eff the highway fund could be
assured of as much revenue as it
has received in former years, the
recommendation of the tax COM
mission that 100000 year
be diverted from this fund to the
general fund as a temporary
emergency measure might be
good one, provided the transfer
could be made in accordance
with the constitution. But I'M
der present conditions, with the
highway fund revenues showing
a decrease of 100000 in
single year, the plan seems to
me to be impractical and impos-
sible, since it will either make
| it impossible for the state to
continue to maintain the county
roads Or make it necessary to
turn the maintenance of these
secondary roads back to the
counties. And I can see where
no economy would result from
that"
J The highway revenue for the
past three years. as shown in
the report is as follows:
For 1930-31 (actual, $780,
For 1892 (actual) $780,
62S,923
For 1928 (estimated) ST.
566,315.
The revenue for the Highway
Commission is derived from two
principal sources, the tax on
gasoline and the automobile
license tax. the report points
out. The detailed report also
shows that the revenue from the
gasoline tax will be approxima-
tely S2,000,00J less this year
than last, while there is a de-
crease of more than $1,000,000
in the revenue from the sale of
automobile plates, making a total
decrease of slightly more than
$3,000,000 within one years
time.
eve must respectfully call
your attention to the fact that
in view of the declining revenue
of The State Highway Commits
sion, further burdens must. not
be placed upon the highway

SALESMEN WILL. MAKE 4,000 MILE. TRIP BY PLANE.

During a two weeks trip by air from Anchorage, J. J. Meherin, Hills Brothers Coffee representa- tive and L. F. Hebert, of the Schwabacher Hardware Company will cover more territory than they could have in year before flying became a mode of transportation in the Northland.
 Meherin and Hebert left for Seward on the Aleutian today. At Anchorage they will take a Pacific Alaska Airways plane under char ter for two weeks, during which they will travel approximately 4,00O miles, down the Kuskokwim to Nome, Deering, Teller, back up the Yukon to Eagle, Fairbanks and other towns and settlements in be- tween.
 They expect to be away from Ju- neau five or six weeks.
 Arrangements for the trip were made thr ough Lyman s. Peck, manager of the Pacific Alaska Air ways while he was in Juneau last week.

 AS a result, said the Commis- sioner, the taxpayers of Charcoal Point will save three or four mills in their local tax rate; Ketchikan will be able to reduce its per capita education cost next year by $1o or SIP; the Territory will save several thousand dollars annually; and the pupils transferred to the Ketchikan schools will be given better educational facilities than those possessed in the past. s''-'

PARIS, June 6.-Two main prob lems will occupy the French at the world economic conference which weets in London on June 12.
 They are, in brief:
 1.-Stabiligaticn of the dol
 lar and sterling.
 2.-General use of gold as
 monetary standard.
 On these two questions the French delegation is expected to center it's activities. On other sub- jects more passive role appears likely
 StabilizatiOn French Need
 France would gain by stabiliza- ton and by return of the gold standard, for wide fluctuations af- feet the franc when it fights for world markets in the same ring as the dollar and the pound.
 Heretofore the franc was a ban tamweight in the commercial prize ring, while the dollar and sterling were heavyweights.
 But since the dollar, on April 19, followed sterling off gold the franc spurted to the front as a world me- dium of exchange. This sudden prestige, how wever, did not help French business, since American and British goods were better able to compete with French products in and outside France.
 Would Lift Disadvantage
 This disadvantage the French would like to overcome by getting England and the United States back on gold
 ,e On almost all other questions the French are expected to sit and listen while delegates from other countries talk, for official quarters forsee that on most of them much will be asked of France.
 Experts have figures that three chief concessions will be suggested to the French:
 | LA more liberal lending of | money abroad.
 2.-Abolition of the quota
 system of regulating imports.
 3.-Lowering of tariff rates. | Caution will be observed on these subjects, government quarters say The government has been seeking Ia freer hand in commercial mat ters so as to have stronger nego- tiating powers at London. | In spite of this official reserve a strong body of opinion is demand ling that the delegation, headed in l the initial stages by Edouard Dala- l dier,. premier and later by Georges Bonnet, finance minister, join the representatives of other countries in an active attempt to pull down barriers to commerce.
