Chevrolet Pleased
At Result Of Car
Junking Plan

Thousands of old automobiles SC
descrepit that they were potentially
danger to users of the highway
have been smashed up since Janu-
airy under the nationwide Junk
ing" plan instituted by Chevrolet
Motor Company in January and
continued in February, according
to w. E. Holler, vice president and
general sales manager. Full reports
for the period to date have not
been compiled.
"The operation Of the junking
plan is bound to reduce the hazards
of the highways" Mr.. Holler point
ed out. Literally thousands of cars
whose further operation on the
highways would be a menace to
their owners and to others will be
retired permanently, and the prob
abilities are that the number will
run even higher.
'"The removal of the cars already
scrapped from the streets and high
ways will definitely reduce the traf-
fic hazard, for next to the driver
himself, the most important factor
in highway safety is the condition
of the vehicle"
Mr.. Holler explained the plan un-
der which Chevrolet and it's dealers
are carrying out the junking pro-
gram. The Chevrolet Motor Com
pany, he said, pays the dealer for
each old car, taken in trade on a
new Chevrolet, that is scropped. The
actual junking is supervised by the
Chevrolet district manager, who
certifies that the car was destroyed
in accordance with the terms of the
agreement.
''The announcement of the junk
ing program" said Mr. Holler
''called forth enthusiastic public re-
Spouse. Many newspapers and mag
azines commented upon the plan
editorially, calling it a worthwhile
ste pin the direction of street and
highway safety.
''That it is sound from an eco
nonic standpoint is shown by the
lates sales figures available. Both
used cars and new Chevrolet cars
and trucks have set all-time records
for this season."

sian museum-Peter the Greats
weird collection of human heads,
Siamese twins, animal and human
freaks-is to be exhibited to the
public in connection with the open
ing of the museum of science and
technology in Leningrad.
Among the exhibits will be the
head of Lady Mary Hamilton, the
English favorite of Peter the Great.
Although, it was claimed, the car

cultured lady who lived at the
Russian court, he had her beheaded
when her child was found murder
ed and hidden in one of the foun-
tains of the Imperial palace. Her
head is preserved in alcohol.
Although most of the objects in
the museum were assembled more
than 800 years ago, they are said to
be preserved remarkably well.

In Cold Weather

There are lots of persons who
feel pretty nearly as Joe Driver did
in Durham N. c., Friday.
Driver, smelling of alcohol, walk
ed into police headquarters past
Judge Walter Bass and several po-
licemen. Nothing happened.
"Nertz," said Driver, and walked
back past the group.
Still no one noticed him; so he
walked past again. And again the
judge and officers ignored him.
Then Driver pulled a bottle from
his pocket and called:
"Will somebody please come over
here and see what I've got?"
Detective Tom Wilkie obliged.
In court, Driver said:
"Can you give me about 80 days.
judge?"
Asked Judge Bass: "Will that be
enough?"
"Yeah," replied the prisoner. eve

James RiUer Goes
On Rampage As
Ice ThaU Begins

Richmond's battered waterfront
was threatened with additional
damage Saturday and by thousands
of tons of ice moving down the
James river along the 200-mile
stretch between that city and
Lynchburg.
A20-foot flood level was predicted
for the river, which rose suddenly
to II feet Friday night, broke
heavy ice pack in the harbor and
tossed steamships about as if they
were feathers.
On tug was sunk, 2,000-ton
steamship was swept aground on
sand bar, and dozen other vessels
were jerked loose from their docks.
A tanker carrying 246,O0O gallons of
gasoline was swept down the river
out of control.
The coast guard cutter Antietam,
which was carried downstream
when the ice jam broke, lodged in
the ice at Newstead farm and later
was swept away again when the ice
gave way. The cutter was trying to
help the gasoline tanker erich
mond'' when the break came.
The situation at Richmond was
termed by F. E. Hibbard of the
Richmond weather bureau as very
dangerous. He said that ice moving
downstream from interior Virginia
under the influence of a thaw of
several days may cause another
sudden upheaval of the river, since
the pack was still solid.

Nae Vest GiUes
AdUice TO Wives

Hollywood, Feb. 15.-Wives who
are having minor difficulties with
their husbands today might profit
tomorrow if they would heed to a
bit of advice from Mae West.
give never married because I've
never found a man that I like well
enough" said Mae. "But it seems
to me that if woman really wants
to hold a man she can do it very
easily.
'Now, no man likes a feminine
household. After all, he pays the
rent. The house, or apartment,
should be furnished to suit him. It
should be masculine looking; not
overcrowded with a lot of geegaws
and knicknacks. Let the wife save
those for her own boudoir.
"The husband should be allowed
a night out now and then with the
boys. If he can't 60 out, openly,
with other men, he'll be sneaking
out with other women.
"A wife has got to learn her hus-
bands needs and be able to adapt
herself to them. don't mean that
she has to cater to him all the time.
He thrives on affection, on petting
and on playing. A smart woman
doesn't wind a man around her lit
tie finger; she winds her little finger
around him."

Daniels May Haze Eye
On u. s. Senate Seat

Washington, Feb. 15.-The report
which has been quietly going the
rounds in official circles in Wash
ington that Josephus Daniels of Ra-
leigh, ambassador to Mexico, might
quit his post during the spring,
gained momentum here today, with
many who are close to the distin-
guished North Carolinian believing
he may quit the Aztec country be-
fore the next election.
Different views are entertained
in regard to the course that may be
pursued by Mr.. Daniels if he de-
cides to come home. One is that he
may be asked to enter the Roose-
welt cabinet in case there is a
change, while another is, and this
has already been worn threadbare
in North Carolina, that he may ask
the Democratic nomination for SEN
ator in the June primary.

81, 100000 Lost By
The South In Forest
Fires From 1884

Forestry experts estimate that
fire destroyed $47,OOO,OOO worth of
forest assets in the South during
the period from 1881 to 1884. Forty
four percent of the fires in 1884
were of incendiary origin. Smokers
and debris burners ranked next as
offenders, the smokers being re-
sponsible for 14.5 percent of the
fires and the trash burners IL per-
cent. Campers and lumbermen, two
classifcations that have borne the
brunt Of much suspicion in connec-
ton with forest fires, made an ex-
cellent showing. The campers caus-
ed percent of Southern forest fires
and the lumbermen IL percent. Ma
ture made the best showing of all,
lightning being responsible for only
8 of the Southern fires.

Roosevelt Gains In
Popularity During
The Past Month

New York, Feb. 15.-The curve of
President Roosevelt's popularity,
zigzagging across the Institute of
Public Opinions chart for the last
two years, arrowed upward during
the four weeks from middle of last
month to the middle of this month.
Today it rests at $50 per cent.
This is a gain of nearly one point
from the Roosevelt score of last
month which was So per cent fiat.
But the gain was made principally
in states where the President does
not need further support, and his
net increase in electoral votes was
but Is, bringing his total to 294.
The Presidents gain in populari-
ty came in spite of Alfred E.Smith's
attack on the new deal in a widely
publicized address before the Lib
erty league. Also during the past
month Governor Talmadge, of
Georgia, threw down the gauntlet
as leader of Southern Jeffersonian
insurgency, while Landon and Bor-
ali knelt on the C. o. P. firing line
and set off the opening blasts of
their campaigns.
The full effect of the Smith
speech and the Talmadge bolt may
not be apparent for some months
This months poll reflects only the
early reaction of voters, as ballots
were already coming in at the time
But judging by that reaction, nc
important change was wrought in
President Roosevelt's popularity.
The figure $50 per cent may be
set down as President Roosevelt's
score at the opening of the cam.
paign, which has nine months tt
run. It means that if an election
were held today, he would receive
$50 per cent of the votes of the two
major parties, while the Republican
candidate would receive 46.1 pei
cent. Roosevelt would be reelected

NO ATTRACTION FOR LOAFERs

Forty acres and mule is not an
attraction to town loafer, says the
brownsville, (Ga.) Press, unless
you agree to throw in man to
work the mule. That's the truth,
and if you don't offer him a bushel
of corn he'd probably want to know
if it was shelled. One of the main
things wrong with this country is
that too many men are looking for
soft jobs, instead Of real work.

HOOUer Leads G. @. p.
In NelU Deal Attacks
Lincoln Day Speeches Are Heard
Throughout U. S.; Raleigh For
State G. o. p. Convention

In the name of Abraham Lincoln,
foremost Republicans from coast to
coast, led by Herbert Hoover, fired
broadside shots at the New Deal
and all of Roosevelt's works in Lin
coin day speeches Wednesday.
Mr.. Hoover at Portland, Ore,
Senator Arthur Vandenburg of
Michigan in New York and Senator
Dickinson of Iowa at Greensboro,
N. c., arraigned the New Deal as
hostile to American institutions.
Hoover ,assailing President Roose-
velt's message on the state of the
Union, pictured the New Deal as a
fountain of fear," fementing con-
fusion nationwide.
In his address, which he titled
"The Confused State of the Union"
the former President charged that
administration policies are hinder
ing business recovery that began
instantly upon restoration of some
degree of confidence by the Su-
preme Court"
Speaking at a Lincoln birthday
dinner, Hoover said:
1.-THE outstanding state of this
union at this hour is state of con-
fusion-confusion in thought, confu-
sion in government, confusion in
economic life and confusion in
ideals. Few national problems have
been solved"
Senator Vandenburg urged an al
lied campaign against what he call
ed the third party" now in power
and pictured the forces of recovery
as straining at a leash held by the
New Deal.
Dickinson Leads State Attack
Senator Dickinson, addressing
North Carolina Republicans at
Greensboro, vigorously attacked the
New Deal and declared one of the
issues of the coming campaign
would be the filling of possible Su-
preme Court vacancies.
At the Greensboro meeting, the
North Carolina Republican State
executive committee selected Ra-
leigh as the place for the State con-
vention, the date to be fixed later,
and adopted resolutions calling up
on Governor Ehringhaus to call a
session of the Legislature.
The committee specified these
three matters Of legislation calling
for an extra session:
Repeal of the general sales tax.
Reduction of automobile license
tag fees to a maximum of three dol
lars.
Enactment of legislation to en-
able the State to share in the bene-
fits of the Federal social security
act.

STEPHEN CAREER AS WHITE HOPE
 HITS HARD SNAG
Dempsey Can't See Tennis Star as Heavyweight
 Boxer Just Yet
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press StaR C0rreDpOnuemU
 New York, Jan. e-(UP)-The tall, blonde gentleman put Up his fists, feinted with Q left and crossed Q right ct an imaginary foe.
 Jack Dempsey looked him tip and down, then dismissed him with: "FIe's Q real nice boy-a real nice boy, but he needs to fill out afl aw7 fui, awful lot"
 But the nice boy"--Lester Rollo Stoefen, professional tennis star refused to be daunted by the Skep- ticism of the man seeking Q white hope" to be developed into Q for- midable opponent for Joe Louis.
 On The Level
 etoefer, Q uare-Shouldered, 24- year-oid giant who will help open the indoor pro court season here this Saturday, is sincere about his chances as . white hope" regard" less Of what Dempsey thinks.
 Lester announced his intention to forsake his racquet and seek gold and giory--in the prize-ring aS far back as last November. Yesterday, he looked lip Dempsey, who was to decide if little Rollo" should turn to c career of leather pushing.
 "Dempsey's right in Q way" stoe- fen said today. T sure do need to fill out. I knew that before Jack told me. I'm only 180 pounds now and six feet four. But I can and will, put on more meat.
 "Why, I could 60 tip to 220 or bct- ter in . few months of conditioning fin the woods. And for boxing, I've done plenty. Not as Q professional, and not even real boxing as ail amateur. But I've practiced Q lot in California, and they tell me I ought to be plenty good with my dukes"
 Two Angles
 Did Lester, who would be one Of the rings most handsome boxers since the days Of "oorgeouS'' Georges Carpenter, really believe he had c chance of developing into 6 first class heavyweight? or was it all c publicity gag, born i1 the fer- tie mind of tennis Promoter Bill O'I3rien?
 Nuts to that" Lester Rollo ex- claimed. Tt might have been jumped on as such by Bill. But the idea was mine as late as last year and I wasn't kidding. I'm not kid- ding now either"
