ters have left certain technical
questions still unsolved. The con-
eressional military affairs appro-
priation committees are looking
for more light from the scientists.
The Navy Department is over
whelmed with plans and sugges-
tions for lighter-than-air ship con-
struction. Some Of them are OBJ
viously fantastic. Others have
some scientific authority benin:

by the Germans, has been taken
for granted. The Navy has taken

ships-but they have smashed
up. What next?
Right at the start. there's a
technical dead-end. The German
ships, inflated with hydrogen, lift
a big payload, but they burn up
because hydrogen is inflammable.
Our ships, using helium. are fire
proof. but. with lesser lifting
capacity, they have to be made
so big that they are unmanage-
able. or at any rate. clumsy and
vulnerable to the stress OF wind.
HANDICAPS
Many have been the casualties
in German ships, since Count
Zeppelin first began to get them
into the air. A lurch which throws
the inflated bag against a high
tension wire, a bolt Of lightning,
a spark from an engine exhaust.
and it's good-by Zeppelin and liv-
ing freight.
The story of the mishaps to our
own ships is well known. Only
the Los Angeles, built in Germany
'as the Graf Zeppelin and brought
here in 1928, survives. But, built
for the greater lifting power Of
hydrogen, it has small capacity
when helium is used. It has been
decommissioned and rots in its
hangar at Lakehurst.
So, with all the glory and CLAM
our of this chapter of our national
air venture. it is a tale that Is
told-unless Congress, the Navy
and the scientists write an cpl
logue, pursuant to the report Of
the scientific advisory committee.
The objective is a ship that can
use helium and hence be fire,
proof, and yet be capable OF
carrying a sizeable load. The Ger.
mans have defied the fire, and we
have defied the winds. Taking
all longevity records into consider
alton, we both lose. The small
but potent and fireproof dirigible
is still to come.
There has been a vast amount Of
politics mixed up with airship con-
Struction in the past. The shock
of our two last great disasters
seems to have diSSipated a lot Of
this. It looks now as If the dir
igible idea would get a workout
on its scientific, military and eco
nomic merits.

sonable and possible to use the top
of the oven for salad tossing but
the smooth work surface of the
modern electric range actually in
vites you to do so.
For, even though the oven is 60
ing while the salad-making is in
progress, it is so well-insulated that
the heat does not escape to heat up
the working top of the range. Sal
ads may be made on top OF the
range while roasts and rolls are
baking in the oven only a few
inches away, and there's no danger
of either the salad or the salad-mak-
e being wilted.
Room Also Cool
But not only is the top Of the
range cool, the room itself is as
comfortable as if no oven had been
used. Think what that means on hot
summer days! Why, you won't mind
mixing up cakes or baking roasts
any more, even if the temperature
has gone soaring.
Modern home-makers have found
other miracles, too, that happen on
their electric ranges. For example,
smooth, delicious = tasting salad
dressing can be cooked right on top
the range-witt1out a double boiler!

very careful survey was made to
determine the points at which Of
flee should be maintained. Only
where there was a concentration of
loans, was it felt that such main
tenance could be justified on bust
ness grounds. In some of the states
with great industrial centers and
a very large number of loans, more
than one office would have to be
continued, while in all of the states
with less than $4,000 loans, it ap-
peared feasible and proper to oper-
ate only n office, to which field
representatives, who would cover
in every section of the state would
make their reports.
The process of putting this plan
into effect naturally has taken
time. Scores of offices have either
been closed or consolidated with
others. Those with the smallest
number of loans were the first to
be so handled.
A study of the situation in
North Carolina revealed that
slightly over twelve thousand
loans had been closed in the state
OF this number, two hundred
sixty7two were contaminated in
Rowan county, while in ~Guilford
county twelve hundred sixty-one
were closed, and in Forsyth coun-
ty, Immediately adjoining, seven
hundred thirty-one. In no other
portion of the state was there so
high a concentration of loans. 1t,
therefore, appeared obvious 20 us
that the one office which we be-
lieved was all necessary to handle
our business in the state should be
located in Greensboro, the loans
and the available government own
ed space both being there. The
Salisbury and Greenville offices
were closed, and our board has ap-
proved the closing Of the Ashe-
vile, Raleigh and Charlotte Of
fices, which will be closed as rapid
Ily as the details can be worked
out.
In your various contacts with
members of our board and with
officials of this corporation, your
many presentations of arguments
against the plan outlined have had
very careful consideration, and
your very emphatic desire to secure
for the folks in your district every
reasonable service, has been appre-
ciated. Notwithstanding the wish
of all of us to cooperate with you
in every proper way, it is the un-
animous opinion of the board that
the facts warrant the action taken
and that it cannot justify the re-
scinding Of its previous decision.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES A. JONES',
General Manager.

First, it should be borne in minc
that very shortly after the estab-
lishment in Salisbury Of the STATE

any government building in that
city, which necessitated the trans
fer to Greensboro, where in thu

available, of many of the function.

viously, this was a very temporary
expedient.

FRIDAY, JULY "a, 1886
MORE MONEY TO SPEND

1t is good news which come.
from the Department of Com
MERGE, that the national income OF
the people of the United States for
1885 was $53,5S7,00O,0 900. By
national income" the Depart
ment means all of the money that
wa spent by everybody in the
United States. 1t includes wages
and salaries, money spent for the
purchase of materials for manufac-
ture and so on down to the last
penny paid across the retail grocer $
counter.
figure is not as high as that
of 1929, when the total money
which changed hands was estimated
at over SIS, 900, 900; but it is
higher than in any of the three
preceding years. The year 1913,
was the low-water mark, in which
only $44, $40, 900 was spent,
and in that year a great deal Of
the money paid out came from pre-
vious savings.
There are probably around 5o,-
100000 persons, men and women,
who receive and spend all of the
money that is received and spent in
the United States. These 10000
900 carry the other so,ooo,ooo On
their backs. On that basis of cal
culation, the average cash income
of the American family for last
year was a little over $1,000 each.
The highest it ever reached was a
little over $500 per family. We
never had a total income Of as
much as 500, 900, ooo,o 900 in a
single year.
Of course, these figures relate
only to actual money which chang
ed hands. They do not take into
account any of the subsistence
which the 100000 farm families
got from their own land. IF that
could be reduced to a cash basi.
the total and the average income
would be considerably increased.
From n point Of view this ma
tional income of a little over ST.
900 a year per person seems very
low, but it is practically double
the average income Of the people
of England and of France and near
ly three times that Of the people Of
Germany and Italy.
We feel hard up in Americs
simply because we don't handle a.
much money as we did for a few
years, but that feeling Of poverty /.
a matter of standards. At the very
depth of the depression the general
run of Americans had more COM
fort and luxury than the average
European can ever hope to ac-
quire.
1t is good news indeed that we
are now on our way back toward
what we had learned inthe1920's
to regard as the American standard
of living.

Farm Questions
Answered At
STATE COLLEGE

Question: How can . tell wheth-
er or not my chickens nave worms?
Answer: Unless there is a heavy
infestation it is difficult to deter
mine the presence of internal par
%asities, but where the birds are
heavily infested there is usually an
Extremely heavy appetite, the
the birds are thin and often a leg
weakness will appear. Where
these conditions appear it is safe to
assume that the birds are infested.
When the birds appear listless and
there is any doubt as to the trouble
it is best to open up several of the
subnormal birds and examine the
Iintestines for worms.
Question: At what age should l
breed my young heifers?
Answer: There is no arbitrary
age for breeding heifers. This is
usually determined by the maturity
of the animals. Heifers that are
fed grain literally in addition to
the roughage will mature more
rapidly than those on a limited
grain ration. Then, too, the
breed has a bearing On the freshen-
ing time. Jersey and Guernsey
heifers, if properly grown out,
should be bred to freshen from "a
to so months of age. The ffol-
stein and Ayrshire heifers should
freshen when from u to 81 mon
tbs old.
Question: How can I rid my
rose bushes Of the small lice that
are killing the plants?
Answer: The aphis of plant
lice" can be- controlled by the ap-
plication Of a 40 percent nicotine
sulphate spry, or by mixing II
ounces Of the nicotine sulphate
solution with two pounds of by
drafted lime and eight pounds of
busting sulphur. The 40 percent
nicotine sulphate is a commercial
mixture and, when used as a spry
should be mixed with water at the
rate of one teaspoonful to three
quarts of water. The small insect
known as the thrip is also particul-
arly harmful to roses and may be
controlled with the same insecti-
cides.
