Snake Venom Used

u. 5. HOUSING
HOPE PAINTED
BY TUGWELL

CINCINNATI, Feb. 4 Q.N.S0.
An idealistic picture of the Fed
eral Governments housing prof.
ect, with specific reference to the
community to be constructed at
Mount Healthy, in Cincinnati,
was left with the Queen City to-
day by DR.. Rexford G. Tugwell,
Undersecretary of Agriculture
and President Roosevelt's Reset
tlement administrator.
Tugwell spoke at the annual
dinner here of the Regional Plan
ming Commission. Referring only
indirectly to the many protests
which have been made against
the Governments program, he
warned private industry that
persistent refusal" to meet the
problems of lowcoSt housing may
force the Government to enter
this field on a very wide scale"
The Mount Healthy develop
ment will be a community OF
farmers and industrial workers
and shall not be a Federal is
land" Tugwell asserted. Nor
shall the people living therein
live under special government
patronage. In all respects, the
administrator said, the town will
be run just like any other Of
its size. There will be no "hid-
den subsidization, no attempt at
special privileges and no lack Of
privileges. Tugwell declared:
at is my belief and hope
that we are on the way to q
more neighbOrIy world, one in
which oppression will be less,
effective participation in apprO-
pirate social decisions widened-
and all our people removed
from dependence on anyOne'S
philanthrOpic impulse.
"But for now, either wages
are too low or mOnOpOliZed
materials and. processes are
held at too high q price. If
we are to have decent housing
the profile m must be ap-
preached with practically"

that little cave were hunters and a
Dog They had driven Bobby there.
All Bobby's worries had ended when
he had entered that passage. He had
felt safe. as safe as ever he had felt
in all his life. Down there in that
ledge of rock they could not get him.
But now a strange thing had hap
pened and Bobby had a new worry.
His eyes and his nose smarted and he
choked. 1t was getting harder and
harder to breathe. There was smoke
down there and it was steadily grow
ing worse. Bobby didn't understand
how smoke could get down there, but
there it was. and If he didn't do some
thing he was likely to choke to death.
But what to do? He tried going far
ther along the passage, deeper into
the ledge. but the smoke followed. He
loneed. oh how he longed. to rush out
to the entrance and the fresh air
there. but he knew that waiting there
for him to do just that thing were
the Dog and the hunters who had
driven him into this retreat.
What should he do-go on farther
down in the ledge. with the chance OF
being smothered there. or rush out to
almost certain death at the hands OF
those hunters? Wasn't that q dread
ful predicament 70 be in? Do you
wonder that Bobby was frantic and
In despair?
The fact that he couldn't under
stand where that smoke was coming
from or how it could possibly be down
there underground didn't make il any
easier for Bobby. He didn't know that
1t was those hunters who were max
ing that smoke and driving it down
along that passage but it was. They
were trying to smoke Bobby out They
hoped that the smoke would become
so bad that BOBBY would be unable
to breathe and SO would come out for
fresh air, when. Of course they would
kill him. You see, those particular

WADE MAY RESIGN
SECRETARY OFFICE
Wants Governor to Name
Abernethy If He Does;
Might Be Bad Move
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Oct. 19.-If Secretary of
State Stacey w. Wade succeeds in
getting the appointment as one of the
two social security directors in North
Carolina, which it is known he is
vigorously seeking he will of course
have to resign as secretary of state in
order 10 accept the other office, it is
agreed. Such action would cause a
vacancy and make it necessary for
the governor to appoint a secretary
OF state until the newly elected sec
rotary should take office when new
State officials are inaugurated in
January.
Since Thad Eure is the Democratic
nominee for secretary of state and
will undoubtedly be elected, the logi-
cal move would be for Secretary
Wade to suggest to Governor Ehring-
haus that he appoint Eure to fill out
his unexpired term, should he resign
and accept a position with the social
security board, it is pointed out. The
report is current here, however, that
Secretary Wade, if he should resign
before the expiration of his term, will
ask the governor to appoint Max
Abernethy, his chief clerk, as secre-
tary of state for the. remainder Of his
term rather than Thad Eure.
1t is agreed that Abernethy is en-
tirely able and competent to hold this
office and that he probably knows
more about the duties of secretary of
state than any one in the office, since
he has served as chief clerk and Of
flee manager under three secretaries
of state-the late w. N. Everett, the
late James M Hartness and Secretary

in and familiarity with the duties OF

$4,000 Paid For Infraction
of Laws in Last Fiscal

Raleigh, Oct. 19-Violations of
game and inland fisheries laws dur
ing the biennium ending June 80,
1896, were costly to transgressors, re-
sulting in an output amounting to
more than $4,000 10y offenders, &C
cording to figures contained in a re-
port of j. D. Chalk, State game and
inland fisheries, commissioner, made
public today.
During the two year period, total
of 1929 prosecutions on charges of
game and inland fisheries violations
conducted by the protectors. Viola
tons of the game laws, totaling g.
1876 were more numerous, with fisher
les prosecutions numbering 1888.
Court costs on game law violations
amounted to $20,432 during the two
years while fines totaling 5,404 were
levied. Fisheries prosecution costs
paid by defendants amounted to $13-
552 and fines in these cases were ST.
GIG.
There was more than a one hundred
per cent increase in game law pro-
secutions in the fiscal year 1855
over the previous year. The total of
prosecutions during the most recent
year was 1894 compared with 902
during the Immediately preceding
year.
Fishing law prosecutions increased
from 998 in 1934-35 to 1885 in 1855.
Fines on these fisheries cases increas-
ed from $685. in 1934-35 to $1,740 dur
ing the latter year Of the biennium.
The substantial increase in prose-
cutions, according to Commissioner
Chalk. indicates more efficiency in
the game and fish protector service
rather than the status of law ObSer-
vance. Mr.. Chalk believes that there
is a greater spirit of cooperation with
conservation laws on the part of the
public than ever before, and that the
activities of the enforcement organi-
zation have increased greatly during
the last two years.

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.



Raleigh, Oct. 19.-The long-smould-
ering dispute between the Federal
Rural Identification Administration
Carolina has at last flared out into
the open as a result of the temporary
restraining order obtained here by
the Carolina Power and Light Com
pany, enjoining the Johnston County
Electric Membership Corporation
from building transmission lines in
territory already being served by the
Carolina Power and Light Company
Plenty of fireworks are expected
when the hearing is held November 2
on whether or not the order shall be
made permanent.
The fuss came to a head as the re-
suit of the awarding of a contract by
the county cooperative for the build
ing of II miles of rural electric lines
in territory already served by the
Carolina Power and Light Company
without first having secured a GER
tificate of convenience and necessity
from the State Utilities Commission.
The power company maintains that
since it already has this certificate
of convenience and necessity and
since the county cooperative does not
have it, it has no legal right to build
transmission lines in the same ter
ritory already served by the power
company. The power and light COM
pany has recently built some ITO
miles of rural lines in Johnston coun-
tv and several of the lines the county
cooperative proposes to build would
duplicate lines which have already
been built by the power company.
It is understood that the Johnston
county cooperative is blaming its
troubles on the North Carolina Rural
Electrification Authority and accus-
ing it of selling out" to the power
companies. But the record in the case
does not bear out this contention. For
the record shows taht more than two
wears ago the State authority approx
ed an application for loan from the
Federal REA for Johnston county,
but that this application went unheed-
ed until June 1, 1886, when Admin
istrator Morris L. Cooke, advised that
