MORE MEASURING
ABOUT UNDERPASS
White Way Extension May
Wait Work To Be Done
on That Project

Engineers of the State Highway and
Public Works Commission have been
here during the past few days for
further measuring on the site of the
proposed underpass that is to connect
Charles and Church streets under the
tracks of the lSeaboard Air Line rail-
road and local municipal authorities
expect the contract for the work will
he Let at the April letting by the COM
mission.
The precise nature of the latest sur
vey was not learned, but is understood
to have had to do with final details
of the construction rogram.
1t is also understood that the pro-
posed extension of the city's white
way system will be deferred until the
underpass work is completed and the
lighting of that project is possible. It
is proposed to extend the white way
from Garnett street along Montgom-
cry across the railroad to William
street, and also to place several stand
ards at the Winder street intersection
and possibly one other.

ARM0RY WILL Be
ONE OF A DOZEN
State Allotted Twelve, With
One Given Henderson
From u. S. Funds

The new National Guard Armory to
be erected here is one of an even
dozen provided for throughout the
State from WPA funds, it was learned
today. 1t had been originally planned
to have two armories, one for the in
fantry and the other for the medical
service companies of the National
Guard stationed here, but funds would
not permit of that much appropria-
ton for Henderson. Both units will
use the same quarters.
The armory is to be erected at the
western extremity of Garrett street at
the intersection of the Dabney high
way, and will cost about $4,000, in
Guiding the price of the land, which
was provided for through the coop
Grafton of the city and county gov
ernments. The WPA made available
an allotment of slightly more than
$4,000.
It is expected that work will begin
at very early date and that the prof.
ect will be pushed as rapidly as pos

Weather Retards
Plantbed Growth
To Slight Extent

Growth of tobacco seedbeds in this
county and section has been slightly
retarded during the past week by I'M
favorable weather conditions. For one
thing, it is said, the ground has been
too wet as the result of frequent
rains. And the temperature has been
too low to permit proper termination
Of seeds,
There has been too little warm sun
shine to permit of ideal conditions for
the plantbeds. A continuation of this
condition for a week or two would
have tendency to throw the crop
still further behind. There is plenty of
tima as yet, however, for the sprout-
ing of the plants to permit of plant
ing.
Setting Of the crop in the growing
fields will get under way in about
two weeks in the Georgia flue-cured
belt, following about the middle of
April in the South Carolina and Dor
der sections, and in Eastern North
Carolina around the end of April or
first of May. Shortly thereafter plant
ing will begin in this section.

ELECTRICAL EVENT
IS RECALLED HERE
MIR. Bridgers Reminded of
Invention by Services in
Flood Territory

While some forty odd Chapters of
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers were celebrating the 5Oth
anniversary of the development of the
alternating current transformer by
William Stanley on March 20, 1886, it
seemed quite a coincidence that on
this Fiftieth anniversary by the prin-
ciple involved in Stanley's transform
er, 1877 900 horsepower was sent from
Chicago to Pittsburgh, and several
blocks of 10000 to $4,000 horsepower
were sent from other systems into
the Pittsburgh territory on yester-
day, it was recalled by ]. H. Bridg-
ers today.
Mr.. Bridgers further recalled that
William Stanley was a frequent visi-
tor to Henderson some years after
he discovered and applied the prin-
ciple involved in the alternating cur
rent transformer, and spent a good
many winters hunting with Junius
Clements at Montmorenci and War
rem county. Judge Clements of the
recorders court remembers him quite
we'll
The use of alternating current, Mr.
Bridgers stated, was much opposed
by those connected with the genera
ton of continuous current, and Edi-
son wrote and advocated in 1889 that
the generation of alternating current
should be prohibited by law.
But for the principle involved in
this alternating current transformer,
a generating plant would be required
for every square mile of territory in
order to supply electricity.
While the development of the lamp
by Edison was important, this deve-
lopment in the transformer by Stan
ley is still the outstanding contribu-
ton, and the basis of all electrical SER
vice, Mr.. Bridgers stated.

tions created by renilitarization.
Some League representatives were
alarmed, and Germany was caustic
over the invocation by Britain, France
Belgium and Italy of Article XVI OF
the League covenant, providing for
action against a threat of war. This
implied possible sanctions if Germany
rejected the Locarno powers pro-
posals.
The British observed that the Lo-
carno powers suggestions were sub
ject to revision, and the impression
in Berlin was that Hitler would at
tempt to negotiate away some of the
sharpest points of the program drawn
up rather than reject it all fatty.
The Locarno proposals include, in
addition to creation of the "buffer''
zone, submission of the France-Soviet
pact and the Rhineland reOccupatlon

a great international conference TO
