No athletic show ever had such

Olympic stadium surrounded by
numerous other stdaia of various
sizes and shapes covering a 1928

The city of Berlin is smothered

Thousands of flags of other ma

the Union Jack of England, and
the rising sun of Japan, hang
everywhere. Traffic is so longest

Visitors are here from all over

The officers use a score card
which covers such subjects as
cleanliness, dish washing, sinks,
drains, flies, screens, even to the
wearing Of caps by the cooks.
Each subject scores a definite
number of points. If the possible
total score of 100 falls below 70,

The scoring, because of various
small details fell below 70 at six
places and they were ordered

Man Flees Toy
Gun, Calls Help
Case Set for This Morning
But Prosecutor Fails
to Appear

The sheriff's department last
night arrested Mary katherine
Coleman, 14-year-old negro girl,
and lodged her in the county Jail
on a charge of holding up an un-
named white man with a toy pls-
tol and forcing him from his truck
on the Brevard road near the
Pennsylvania county line.
Officers were called from Bre-
ward where the man went after
fleeing from his truck. Deputies
went to the spot where they found
the negro girl asleep in the truck.
She had a small toy pistol. :,
The girl told officers she and
another girl had paid the man
$3.50 to take them to Brevard in
his truck. Near the county line,
she told officers, the man stopped

]. 7. BREVARD
HELD SUICIDE
Inquest Said Unnecessary;
Dependency Over Idle
ness Believed Motive

James Thomas Brevard, %
year-old son of Zeb Brevard, who
lives about a mile and half west
of Hendersonvllle, committed sui
eide some time last night by
shooting himself through the heart
with shotgun.
The body was found this morn
ing beneath an oak tree. He had,
apparently, placed the stock of
the gun against stump and pull
ed the trigger with cord. De-
spondency over unemployment
was believed to have been the mo-
tive.
After an investigation this
morning Coroner J. F. Brooks
said that an inquest into the death
would be unnecessary. Funeral
arrangements had not been an
nounced this afternoon.

SCISSORS BECOME
POSSIBLE CLUE

ASHEVILLE, Aug. IA pair
of scissors, showing a blood reac-
ton when given the Benzidine
test, entered the tangled Helen
Clevenger murder case yesterday
when Asheville police revealed
that an unnamed woman had
found the scissors in a garbage
can on an alley off Cherry street,
about block and a half from the
Battery Park hotel where the New
York coed was murdered more
than two weeks ago.
The alley is located near the
hotel and in the path probably
taken by man seen to leave the
hotel shortly after l o'clock on
the morning Of the murder. Chief
of Police Everett declined to say
whether or not he considered the
scissors had any bearing on the
case.
Asheville police also have sew
eral fingerprints in their posses
sion and these are being studied
in the case. All are single prints
and for this reason cannot be COM
pared with the files of the depart
ment of justice in Washington:
While there are thousands OF
prints in the Washington files,
very few are of single prints and
are those of only the most notorl-
Gus criminals.
Sheriff Laurence Brown, con-
tinuing his investigation of the
case, yesterday again questioned
Daniel Gaddy, night Waterman,
who has been held for questioning
since July 18, but learned nothing
new. The sheriff said there were
no new developments in the case
as the 18th day since the murder
was committed passed.
Strands of hair found on a tow
ell in Miss Clevenger's room were
taken to Washington for examine
ton but failed to throw any light
on the case.

NINE DEAD, SlOO,OO DAMAGE
WROUGHT BY TROPICAL STORM
BLOWING OUT In GULF STATES
Florida Coast Uttered With
Wreckage After Wind,
High Tide

PENSACOLA, Aug. /. (UP)-
The tropical hurricane blew itself
out over Alabama last night, leav-
ing in it's wake nine dead and a
property damage of 100000.
Valparaiso and Panama City
bore the brunt of the storm, Lou
isiana and Georgia feeling the
blowOff with high winds ard rain
squalls.
Added to two deaths caused
earlier while the storm was on
Florida's east coast, seven deaths
yesterday brought the toll to nine.
Two sailors were missing and
believed drowned at Panama City.
Sleeping in a house on Municipal
Pier, they were believed lost when
the pier collapsed under pounding
of mountainous seas.
The coast guard reported that
the tug boat Minnie Lee went
down with five aboard in Chocto-
hatchee Bav a few miles off the
northwest Florida coast.
The missing seamen at Panama
City were Don Taylor and Mac
MacClusker. After the municipal
pier was smashed by the seas, they
never were seen.
When the hurricane first devel-
oped early this week, a lineman
at Miami was electrocuted as he
sought to repair wires tangled by
the storm and a negro deckhand
was drowned off the Florida east
coast. -
While seaboard residents re-
turned to the homes they fled last
Thursday night, the hurricane, its
winds dropping to around 35-45
miles per hour, swept into south
eastern Alabama. At 9:15 p. m.
Eastern Standard time, the fed
eral hurricane warning system or
dered all warnings down along the
gulf.
Forewarned by advisories from
the warning system, towns in the
path of the storm had battened
down, building were boarded up
and damage was not heavy. Sea-
board towns from Apalachicola,
Fla, to Pensacola took a terrific
pounding from mountainous seas,
however, and today the gulf coast
line was strewn with debris.
Two vessels were missing yes
terday-the fishing schooner Bob,
of Fort Walton, and the 3O-foot
auxiliary schooner Eetchum out OF
st. Petersburg. The Bob was To-
Gated late Friday.

day which included:
1. President William Green of

ganization but the industrial
unionists, headed by John l..
Lewis who are warning with the
Federation's craft leaders, have
pledged their support to President
Roosevelt.

WHY THIS SECRECY?

The Iowa farmer of the common
variety whose cOrn-hOg check ap-
proximated the taxes he paid on his
acreage may desire to know more
about the farmer" who received
$219.S25 for not raising 1887 hogs
on AS acre farm. AS to that wheat
beneficiary who collected $7S,63S on
65 wheat checks; not to mention the
inquiry as to million dollar payment
to a sugar company in Porto Rico
and the question as to the jump of
its 10000 shares with market value
of $16O to 100000 shares with mar
ket value of 2s millions?
Those press figures 1857 hogs on
445 acres are intriguing. Very
much SO. Even astonishing That
would mean 80 hogs to the acre.
Applying the figures to an Iowa 100
acre farm that farm should have s.
$50 hogs on the quarter section.
Strung out and averaging each pork
er at a length of feet. that's even
three miles Of hog. snOut to tail.
Enough hogs to fence the farm, leav-
ing wide gateway in and out. With
10 hogs to the truckload. 52S trucks

ABORTED JOBS

A recent article in The index, !
publication Of the New York Trust
Company, says: "The past record OF
the public utilities in making in
creasing resources Of power readily
and cheaply available stands out as
a remarkable chapter in our indus
trial history.
"The future Of the electric light
and power industry is, at the mo-
ment, Obscured by the attitude Of the
government. The utilities have been
particularly fearful of the results Of
too drastic regulation under the Pub
lie Utility Act Of 1885 and OF govern
ment competition in the sale of pow
er similar to that authorized by the
Tennessee Valley Authority Act"
No industry has better discharged
its public obligation than has power
while the cost of living at the be-
ginning of 1885 was about 40 per
cent above the 1918 level, the cost Of
electric service was AZ per cent be-
low. Electricity has reVOlutiOnized
Industrial and domestic life. making
for infinitely greater comfort at
anu at MoAh AAn GUnA 10 a MAlG-
roscopic item in the budget of either
the average family or the average
business. And that cost is steadily
declining. with greater consumption
pplus improved operating methods.
Fear and uncertainty caused by
the governments power policy is
preventing the utilities from spend |
ing hundreds of millions of dollars l
annually that would create steady |
jobs, purchasing power, and new tax
able property.
At time when more than IL per |
cent of all the revenues of the utili-
ties goes to government in taxes,
vast publicly-financed. publicly-sub-
sidized electric plants are being
erected in various areas, in spite of
the fact that private utilities in the
same areas are producing all the
power needed.
The bait of Federal gifts" (tax
funds taken from the people of every
state) and loans is being held out to
TO tempt them to go
into the utility business.
II will be a sad day for this coun-
Try if we allow socialistic program
10 destroy one of our greatest, most
most progressive and most
lublic-spirited industries.
