BOYS AT c. M. T. C.
CAMP ARE GAINING
Taking on Weight as Result of Reg
ular Habits and Wholesome
Food Provided

Fort Bragg, Aug. 12.-If suitab,a
and appetizing food can bring such
results, large number of trainees at
the Citizens Military Training Camn
now in it's second week at Fort Rrago-
may be compelled to procure larger
clothes at the end of the 3O-dav train
ing period.
LIST 1t. D. B. Workizer, camp mess
officer, is authority for the statement
that the young trainees eat consider
ably more than older and larger men
and that their appetites increase
steadily for the first several DAYS
after camp opened. He ascribes this
craving for more food to the definite
change in habits of many of the cam
didates, exercise and we'll regulated
habits.
The daily menu is taken from a.
schedule prepared by expert dieticians
who have had years of experience in
feeding large groups of men. The bill
of-fare is made up in a manner that
will give food suitable for the season
and that furnishes the proper nourish-
ment for the body The menu calls for
three vegetables with each meal. two
salads, and milk once day. Ice cream
is served every day Pastries, con-
sidered too heavy for the hot weather,
are not being served.
Health of the candidates is closely
guarded and there has been a notice
able absence of serious illness: This
may be attributable, to large extent,
to the thorough physical examina-
tions given the youth before accep-
lance for the camp.
In every case where candidates
were rejected because of physical dis
abilities, letters describing these de-
fects in full were written to the par
ents and advice was given concerning
methods of treatment.

UNDERPASS WORK
GETS UNDER WAY
Railroad Scales B e i n g
Transferred and Steel Is
Being Unloaded

Actual work had begun today on the
much-discussed underpass under the
tracks of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
road connecting Church and Charles
streets.
A pit for the railroad scales to be
removed from the site of the under
pass is being dug in the south yards,
and this will be moved in a very short
time. A carload of steel was being I'M
loaded today and great numbers OF
pilings. are already on hand and
leady for use.
Engineers of the State Highway &
Public Works Commission have ar
rived, and Seaboard engineers are
here to oversee their part of the
work More and more laborers are
being employed as the work expands.
It is estimated that eight months
will be required to complete the job,
which city authorities have promised
is to be thing of beauty and an ad-
ded traffic safety and convenience for
the city.
The job is being financed through
WPA grade crossing elimination
funds to the extent of some $128, 900,
while the city has provided $4,000
to compensate property owners for
damages sustained in construction
and slicing of their holdings.
It is estimated that the entire pro-
iect will represent an outlay of $780,
coo when finished.

BANK ENLARG|NC
INSIDE QUARTERS
More Lobby Space and
Larger Book Vault Being
Arranged by Citizens

To provide additional lobby space
and extra room in the book vault, ex-
tensive repairs arc under way in the
interior of the Citizens Bank 81 Trust
Company quarters.
A section of the old vault has been
torn away and a large safe that was
held inside has been removed, thus
creating greater space for the storing
of books and records. At the same
time the cage windows have been
drawn in to provide increased lobby
space, and the Encouragement of the
vault has likewise made more inside
working space for the clerical workers
The transfer has not yet been COM
pleted and painting and the laying of
a tile floor in a section of the new
lobby is also yet to be done. 1t is an
ticipated that a week or two, how
ever, will see the entire job finished
and the interior of the bank building
will present a different appearance.
Increasing business has necessitated
the alterations that are being made.
An additional teller's window is be-
ing provided for the accommodation
of customers.

new highway construction. But the
basic reason for the dissatisfaction
with the highway commission has
been due to it's plan of organization
and the abandonment of the district
system, according to most of those
who have been analyzing the situation
carefully.
District Man Big Help.
One of the reasons the highway
commission was so successful from
the time it was organized until 1881,
when it was reorganiZed by former
Governor o. Max Gardner and the
1881 General Assembly, was because
it was based on the district system,
with each commissioner representing
a definite number of counties and
hence being the contact man between
the people of that district and the en-
tire commission, it is maintained. The
people in each district knew whom to
go to concerning road matters and
first took their road problems and
de5rd5 to their district chairman,
who in turn was their immediate re-
preventative on the commission. Since
each district commissioner had to be
a resident of his district, he knew the
people in it, they knew him and ne
also had first-hand knowledge of road
needs and conditions. This system also
served to protect the commission from
so many delegations and local squab-
bles, such as now take up much Of
it's time, since most of these were
Cd no no NJ
their commissioner.
But since 1881, the highway COM
mission has been composed of seven
members, selected from the State at
large and not representing any dis
trict This has made many of the peo-
pie feel that they had no representa-
ton on the commission, since they
had no one commissioner they could
go to about road matters in their par
| ticular section. It has also resulted in
more and more delegations coming to
Raleigh to appear before the entire
| commission on matters which for
merly were handled by only one MEM
I Der, and has removed the close con-
| tact which every county formerly had
with the commission through the dis
| trict commissioner. AS a result more
and more people have gotten the feel
/ ing that the commission was not in
| terested in them or their counties and
| counties and that it has become too
high-hat and domineering in decid-
ing what roads were to be built or
not built.
| People Resent Attitude.
| With this means Of contact with the
commission gone, and no one man to
whom they can go, more and more
! road users have come to feel that
they are being disregarded and their
! roads neglected. They feel that the
commission has been entirely too slow
in repairing the roads damaged last
winter, evidently not realizing that
between 700 and 800 miles of roads
were damaged and that it takes a lot
of time and money to repair that
many miles of roads. With no one to
talk to them and explain the situa-
ton, they have not been able to I'M
derstand why the big highway sur
plus that accumulated between 1888
and 1885 cannot be used now for new
construction and repair work, al
though 1t is now being used for these
purposes. .......-.

POST OFFICE NOW
PLANNING TO MOVE
New Temporary Quarters to
Be Ready Around First
of September

Preparations are being made at the
post office for the transfer of the en-
tire office and the government 5
postal business here to temporary
quarters around the first of Septem-
Der. Work of remodeling and enlarg-
ing the local office will start shortly
thereafter. the contract having al
ready been let to a New YORK con-
Germ for around $4,000.
The temporary quarters Will De IN
the warehouse building on East Mont
gomery street formerly used by the
Rose 5-1O-25c Company and belonging
to tie Henderson Grocery Company
It is now being conditioned for the
use of the post office for period of
about one wear. Steam heat is being
installed and the quarters are being
remodelcd to suit the requirements
and needs of the post office. IhlS
building is to the rear of the Hen
derson Grocery Company and opposite
the High Price Warehouse.
No advices have been received by
Postmaster J. r. league, he said to-
day. as to just when work will start
on the extension of the post office
building. but it is considered certain
it will begin as soon as the removal
is made to temporary quarters. An
indication of the imminence of the
the start of work is the fact that mail
has already been received here for the
contractors.
Likewise, there has been no infor-
nation as to what additional services
may be provided to the public here
as the result of the Henderson office
going into first class as of July 1. 1t
is not anticipated that there will be
any increased service before the
transfer to temporary quarters is eff
fected.

Democrats Retain
Old Tariff Stand
Continued from Page One.)

ly was voting, either way, for the
same thing.
1t was true, too, and 1t was I'M
satisfactory, but it wasn't anything
in comparison with the confusion
which prevails now.
TARIFF ISSUE
To illustrate:
AS we know, AL Smith and four of
his friends some weeks ago protest
cd President RooSevelt's renomina-
tiCn because, they asserted, he isn't
a genuine Democrat'-not the old
fashioned Jeffersonian, kind, which,
they say, they are.
But in one respect the Roosevelt adj
ministration is strictly Jeffersonian.
1t looks coldly upon a system of
high protective tariffs.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull Ca
sure-enough old-time Democrat, If
yer there was one) does, anyway.
And 1 assume that the President
agrees with him, for he used his
pull with Congress to put through a
law under which Hull has been max
ing a series of international recipro-
cal agreements cutting tariff rates
down.
This enrages the Republicans.
1t would additionally they're high
protectionists.
HAS NO APPEAL
But it's the one thing which, &C.
cording to all logic, ought to appeal
to supposedly dyed-in-the-wool JEFF
fersonians, like AL Smith, ex-senator
James A. Reed ct al, as redeeming
feature in the current administra,
TONS record.
On the contrary, it's a principa
count in their indictment against it
ALL THAT'S LEFT
This reasoning may be all right.
That isn't the point
The point is that practically all o.
Jeffersonianism that's left in tn,
| Democratic party is Secretary of Stat,
Hulrs policy of reducing tariff bar
| rierS.
And that's the very thing which thu
Smith quintet of professed Jeffer
sonians picks on as proof positive
that Rooseveltianism is un-Jeffer
| sonian.
! The Hamiltonian platform cou1'
not have expressed it any NOR
vigorously.

SAFETY SHOULD BE CONSID-
GRAFTON IN HUNTING SEASON

Each year, in proportion to the
number engaged in the sport, there
is an astonishing number Of acct
dents during the hunting season.
Professor E. B. Parker, of Washing
ton State College, gives some effect
ual safety advice.
In hunting where shotgun is used,
see that your gun is in first class
shape. A badly worn breech, lock-
ing device, faulty safety catch, or
broken lock, is very dangerous. See
that your gun barrel is clean. Use
good ammunition, not too old. The
man with loaded gun should have
footwear that will not slip. Shells
should never be in the barrel of the
gun except when in the field and
prepared to shoot game. No true
sportsman will enter a yard, house,
or any conveyance without first op-
ening his gun to make doubly sure
that it is unloaded.
Never swing or point the end of a
gun toward any living creature that
one is not prepared to kill.
In deer hunting and in the hunt
ing of all large game animals, some
article of the hunters clothing,
preferably the shirt or jacket,
should be of some bright color.
Calked shoes are imperative to in
sure good footing and prevent slips.
The long range of modern rifles
suggests that each hunter make
sure of his target before shooting.

Sweets for children are best at

Pharmacists from the Washington

For the past seven years eighty five
