TOXIC ASKS us. ADD
TO INSURE PACT|
Would Resume Navy Farley
in "Sincere Desire"
for Agreement.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 14.-Admiral
Isoroku Yamamoto of Japan told Ad-
miral William H. Standley of the
United States today that Japan was
most sincere in a desire for a new
naval treaty mutually satisfactory to
Japan, the United States and Great
Britain.
He expressed this hope in the course
Of a secret visit he paid the United
States Naval Delegations headquar-
ters.
At the same time he urged that the
United States not use Japan's forth
coming denunciation of the Washing
ton Naval Treaty of 1922 as an ex-
cuse for the formal termination of the
present naval conversations among
the three powers, and suggested that
the Americans agree with the British
and the Japanese in setting date for
the resumption of conversations next
year, when an agreement could be
considered.
The admiral told the Americans the
formal termination of the conversa-
tions with the denunciation, which is
expected to be made next Thursday,
would only make the situation worse.
He protested that it was unfair to
blame the Japanese for the failure of
the conversations just because Japan
denounces the treaty which specified
the present 5-5-3 ratio of the three
powers navies.
Admiral Standley did not give Ad-
miral Yamamoto any indication that
the American attitude would change,
although it was revealed that he dis
cussed the situation with Norman H.
Davis, the United States Ambassador
at-Large.
The Americans, it was understood,
feel there is no reason to set a date
for the resumption of the conversa-
tions unless the Japanese guarantee
that an agreement would be possible
at that time.

CHICAGO, December 14.-Judge
Joseph B. David is being swamped
with orders for plain divorces for IS
and fancy ones for $3.50.
A little speech he made the other
day apparently was misunderstood
He said that when people can't get
along and wish to be separated the
cost for ordinary divorces should be
around S., but that If the applicants
insisted on paying more the DEGREES
should be wrapped in fancy packages
and the cost put up to $3.50.
But divorces aren't down to this
cost level yet.
A resident of Mississippi wrote this
request: Dear Judge. Please send me
one of those SIS divorces C. O. d."
A woman wrote the judge: IT sure
wish was free. My husband is
not the working kind so I can't get
anything from him, and consequently
I have no money for a divorce. Just
the same would like to have one of
your SIS or $3.50 divorces"

Beauty Keeps In Form

There came to town today a
prize beauty who abhors the
thought of Hollywood and keeps
her sylph-like form by eating bon
bonS and steak with onions every
chance she gets.
She is Miss Margaret Bentley,
of Tulsa, a shy willowy blonde of
20. Her first trip to Washington,
to see the Oklahoma George Wash
ington University football game
tomorrow afternoon, is her reward
for being elected the University of
Oklahoma'S most popular coed, a
distinction which involves pulchri-
tude, personality, and scholastic
attainment.
"Oh!" was her astonished
answer to the question whether
she nouriShed hopes of some day
reaching the films.
No, Miss Bentley said she pre-
ferred her music. She is major
ing in piano and voice, and, upon
graduation next year, she hopes
to find a teaching job. There's
just a timid little hope. she ad-
mitted. however, that eventually
she will appear on the concert
stage.

CONVICTED

A Jury in District Supreme

Sam Berlin guilty of the Heurich
Brewery robbery.
The verdict, returned late yes
terday after a three-day trial,

two men, branded definitely by
the conviction as members of the
notorious tri-State gang, will be
tried next on charges of partici-
pating in the Union Station mail
robbery last December, in which
a guard was shot.
The convicted men each offered

as members of the gang that
raided the brewery.

From the peak a lovely view
of the Blue Ridge range is OBJ
tanned. and to the west the
Great Smoky range stands in
hazy splendor. One can some
times stand on the peak and
watch the clouds as they pass
below. Only a few plants and
dwarfed trees are found here
due to the high altitude. On
clear days most of thee towns of
Western North Carolina may be
seen from this viewpoint.
The Vanderbilt lodge is one
of the show places of the noun
tain. This lodge was built years
ago by the Vanderbilts and is
still used as summer home.
The old lodge overlooks the big
country, and from here a Won
derful view is obtained. From
the porch one can pluck twigs
from the tops of trees below.
The lodge is built of logs and
stone and set in a position that
commands a view of the Blue
Ridge range. Some of the build
ings that compose the Wander
bilt estate were moved to the
top of the mountain and recon-
structed. The old Stony Ford
church, which was used by the
first settlers Of this country,
may be seen as it was years
ago. This building was torn
down and moved to the top by
OK teams and rebuilt. Servants
quarters, a power house, and all
modern conveniences have been
set up in this mountain para
disc.
From the Brevard side a good
view of the Rat is seen. The
Rat is a part Of Pisgah proper,
but due to its resemblance to
rat it was so named. Mount
Pisgah was named bv the first
settlers from the Biblical Mount
Pisgah.

One of the most popular drives
of this region is that to the top
of famous Mount Pisgah. Two
paved routes leading from Hen
Jacksonville.
Going northwest from Hen
Jacksonville. the drive passes
through the Mills River valley
on to the American Enka cor
poration plant on state highway
No. 10. Turning left on the
Pisgah highway at Gambler, the
road follows the South Hominy

ing country.
Located-at the foot of Mount
Pisgah is Camp Laurel-a sum-
mer resort built in the rustic
manner. Swimming pools, COM
Portable cabins and other con-
veniences go to make tourist
life a pleasure. Many walking
and riding trails lead from here
to the top of Pisgah. Without
doubt the most nopular Of these
is the old Chestnut Ridge trail.
This trial was once the only
means of reaching the peak, and
the material used to build the
lodges and buildings on the
mountain were hauled up this
trail with mule and OK teams.
1t is now riding and walking
trail. Following the ridge up the
side Of Pisgah, it passes through
the rhododendron gardens. a
sight not to be missed in sea-
son as some of the most beau
';iful specimens of this type are
to be found here. The trial
joins the new road at Cutthroat
gap on the edge of the Elk pas
ture. Only the remains of the
old pasture are to be seen.
Many elk were once kept in this
pasture, and old timers tell of
the thrilling fights they witness
ed between the elk during the
mating season.

is a lovely splash of color, with
pin laurel and maximum, rho
