Business Women
Plan Institutes
Observing Week
These and Public Relations
Dinners Will Feature
Celebration
BY MARY B. CHATHAM

! RALEIGH. March 9. Especially
Institutes of Citizenship and Pub
lie Relations dinners are on thu
program for National Business
Women's Week, March 1928, ad
vocated by thn North Caroline
; Federation of Business and Pro
fessional Women's Clubs in circu
lars sent this week to all loca
! presidents and chairman of pro,
gram, public relations and legisla-
tive committees.
The closest cooperation is be-
ing maintained between the local
and the State Federation organ
izations in working out general
suggestions and details for the
citizenship study course. The
State Federation is also urging
that, wherever possible. the local
clubs cooperate with the League
of Women Voters, the citizenship
divisions of the Women's club,
and other interested local groups
to the end that the study courses
may be of the widest possible
community value.
The plan suggested by the
president of the State Federation,
Miss Mae Reynolds, and her CO.
operating committee chairmen Is
to have the study course on citi-
ze'nship held on either two eve
nings or at an evening and lunch
con meeting during National Bust
ness Women's Week. Careful
studies of taxation. how tax
money is spent, and the extension
and further development of the
merit system in government-lo-
cal. state and national, are espe-
cially recommended as topics for
study at the citizenship Institutes.
The suggested programs urge
members not to be misled by sur
face claims of politicians, but to
go after facts and fundamentals,
to arouse the necessary public
opinion to effect the necessary
changes such as abolishing all un-
necessary and obsolete offices;
consolidating overlapping agen-
cies or those which could work
more economically or effectively
in larger units; overhauling the
pensions system and the manage
ment of civil service; having an
effective budget under the direc-
ton of a responsible executive;
instituting scientific purchasing
and cost accounting; and especial
ly the maintenance of essential
services, and the distinction be-
tween essential services and po-
litical plums.
Mmbers of the executive coun-
Gil of the State Federation of
Business and Professional Wom-
ems Clubs who are sponsoring the
study course on citizenship, in ad-
dition to the president, Miss Mae
Reynolds, of Raleigh. are: Miss
Ruby McGougan, of Fayetteville,
SLdIe program. GHlll mai, MISS
Iona Glidewell, Reidsville, state
public relations chairman, and
Miss Elsie Riddick, Raleigh, state
legislative chairman.

Declaring his action did not set
a precedent for the granting Of
pensions to World War veterans,
President Roosevelt yesterday
signed the bill granting an in
crease of so million dollars in
pensions to veterans of the Span
ish-American and previous wars.
The Presidents action was I'M
expected, as it was assumed he
would veto the bill because it re-
stored pension cuts provided in
the economy act of 1888. A White
House statement explained the
President felt the veterans of wars
prior to the World War, were en-
titled to pensions, because they
lack other benefits given World

NOTE ON MERCURY.
WHILE the League of Nations is
w trying to throttle Italy'S war
aims with an embargo on war mate
rials, the Department of Commerce
and the Bureau of Mines are concerned
over one vital metal that they know
Mussolini will never run short OF.
Conversely, the United States does not
produce enough even to meet its peace
time needs, large importations annual
ly being the rule.
The metal is quicksilver. The heavy
liquid element is indispensable to mod
ern war. Every shell fired, every bullet
shot, requires it's compound, mercuric
illuminate. in the firing cap. There IS
no substitute save silver illuminate,
obviously too expensive.
Italy possesses the Idria mines, the
second largest in the world. They
alone are sufficient for her needs in
any war. But in addition the Mer-
curio Europeo, cartel formed by
Italian and Spanish producers, has
been the leading factor in the world

THE block bounded by Seventh,
Eighth, E and r streets, and oc-

Almaden mine is the first in size In
the world. The cartel, since its forma-
ton, has produced quicksilver vari-
ously estimated at 70 to 90 per cent Of

OF even more significance is the fact
that last week Spain and Italy signed
a commercial treaty for the better
exchange of certain products not an
