"The first wish of all Socialists for
the American workers is for a vigor-
Gus and united movement which will
forward industrial unions among the
unorganized workers." he said.

Plan New Book
Of N. C.. Guard
War Department Expects
To Get Out Directory
Of Personnel of State
Units.

Washington. - The national
guard of North Carolina is expect
ed to get a new directory of its per-
sonnet by the beginning of next
year, it was indicated at the War
department. Although the army
directory is issued each year, there
has not been a directory of guard
officers and organizations since
September 80, 1881. There have
been so many changes in personnel
and in the ALLEGATION of units to
the various states, as we'll as chang
es in units that the directory issued
then is practically useless.
The gigantic task of collecting
the data necessary for the prepare
ton of this volume already has
been started in the national guard
bureau of the War department,
and the information will be as of
the current July l.
Lack of funds has been given
as the reason for failure to get out
this important volume, and it ha,
not been issued during the years
when the government was cutting
down its expenses. 1t ceased at the
beginning of the government eco
nomy wave. 1t is estimated that
the cost of preparing and printing
the volume will be approximately
$4,000. In order to cut down
the cost to this figure, it was said,
it will be necessary to eliminate
from the book the history of ma
tional guard organizations, and for
this purpose the old book should
be retained. These histories, it was
indicated, require about one hun
dred pages.

149 In So States
IS PERSONS DROWNED
Fireworks Fatalities Are
low But Many Are
Burned And Injured.

New York.-The nations cele-
bration Of its 160th birthday ended
the worst July 4th tragedy in five
years.
Deaths were counted at ~
more than one and a half for every
year of United States independence.
Banging. firecrackers played a
comparatively innocent role in the
slaughter, taking but five lies in
three States, but motoring acct
dents and drownings rolled up a
terrific toll.
Not since 1881, when 4S3 cele-
orators died, was the death list so
long.
All but seven of the 4s States
Colorado, Delaware, Mississippi,
Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont
and Wyoming-repcrted fatalities.
Airplane crashes, auto races,
lightning, railroad trains. burning
buildings, c~elebrators' wild bullets
and tavern brawls all made their
contributions.
Traffic accidents were response
bic for the most deaths, account
ing for 149 lives in So States. Sew
enty-five persons drowned in Sc
States. Miscellaneous tragedies ac-
counted for u more in IS States.
Although fireworks fatalities
were low, burns and injuries were
legion GRO the land.
In New York City, 5e1 persons
were treated at hospitals for fire
works burns. Two fires were start
ed during the celebration, and one
man was killed by a stray bullet as
be stood on a ~rooftop.
A s~ix-year-old girl burned to
death by a firecracker thrown into
her lap was Chicago's only fatality
Eixty-two Others were hurt and II
arrested. A small dog, maddened
by exploding firecrackers, bit three
persons at Montrose Avenue beach.
Two men were killed at Lexing-
ton, Mich, when fireworks blew
up on a scow during the annual
celebration there. Sixteen specta-
tors at a community fireworks dis
play at Findlay, Ohio, were hurt
by a noise bomb that shot across
the river into the crowd instead Of
rising in the air as expected.
St. Louis counted its fireworks
injuries at 343, and reported one
dead from a tavern baw1.
Kansas City's anti-firecracker
ordinance cut injuries there to 100,
There were no deaths.
At Los Angeles, Patricia Krama.

and lit it. She was badly burned

HOMES right basis

HOMES right basis
There is more common-sense in
what Lewis H. Brown told the
New York State Bankers Associa-
ton about the housing situation,
the other day, than in anything I
have read or heard on the subject.
Much Of the distress caused by
mortgage foreclosures on homes, he
pointed out, arises from three prin-
cipal causes. The home owner was
high-pressured into buying a home
beyond his means; he financed the
purchase by a short-term mortgage
which fell due at a time when he
could neither pay nor renew it; and
the house was poorly built and fell
into disrepair prematurely.
Mr.. Brown is no advocate of
government financing of home
building. He believes that it is
up to the bankers of the nation to
finance the home owner on long
term amortizable mortgages, easily
within the borrowers means to re-
pay. but first ITO make sure that he
is not buying more of a house than
he can afford, and that it is a
sound, well7built house to begin
with.
I have long thought that that is
the only sound road toward recov-
cry in the building trades.

SAFETY dramatized
Next month a great "motorcade''
will travel to New York City. 1t
will be composed of drivers from
all of the 4S states. Each will have
been chosen to represent his or her
state because of proven skill as a
driver. Nc one can be selected who
has not had ten years of driving
experience, covering at least 10000
miles, and his accident record must
show a clean slate.
These 4S motorists, representing
the very pick Of all the drivers of
America, are to converge upon New
York in August for a highway
safety convention, sponsored by the
C. l. T. Safety Foundation and CO.
operated in by the American Auto
mobile Association and the National
Safety Council. Prizes will be
given to the drivers who come the
longest distance and arrive without
a scratch on their Tenders.
This seems to me like a mighty
useful move toward dramatizing
the Importance of careful Irving.
1t ought to stimulate public inter-
est in the effort to make motoring
safe.

To Wage Intensive Drive

Clyde R. Hoey, Democratic
nominee for Governor, has announ-
ced that he will open his campaign
for election sometime in September
I'VE won't get started until
after the meeting of the Demo-
cratic State executive committee
in August, when a State chairman
is to be named" said the nominee.
1T will be some time in Septem-
Der before the campaign gets under
way. The State and National
campaigns will run along togeth-
er." Mr.. Hoey said he thought
the campaign should Ego along sat
isf~actorily." He wasn't expecting
much trouble from the Republican
niminee, Gillian Grissom, but in
dicated he would conduct a COM
prehensive and intensive campaign.
Campaigning, after all, is no
new adventure for Mr.. Hoey. He
has ~campaigned for the Demp-
cratic party for the last 80 years
Or SO and in virtually ever precinct
in the State. He is perhaps the
best known POLITICAL figure in
Nirth Carolina and he knows per-
sonally thousands of North Caro-
Gnians.
Mr.. Hoey said he had not heard
any discussion concerning the next
State chairman. J. Wallace Win
borne of Marion is present chair
man and Mr.. Wineborne can prob
ably have the office again if he
wishes it, since he has made a good
record and is a popular leader. The
Craftsmanship is an office filled by
the committee membership, but
usually the nominee for Governor
is consulted concerning his wishes.
The procedure is very much like
that of the National committee,
which names a chairman in accord
ance with the desires of the nomi-
nee for President.
The total vote in the county in
the various races follows:
Hoey 5,313; Mcdonald 1854;
Hoey majority 1859.
Lieutenant governor: Grady B.
760; Horton 1881; Horton ma
jority 81.
Secretary of state: Wade 1925;
Eure 3,736; majority for Wade of
290.
State senate: Gregory 1853;
Kesler $3.50; majority for Gregory
of 1888.
Virtually complete unofficial
returns from Saturdays run-off
democratic primary gave Clyde R.
Hoey administration stalwart,
$1,000 lead over 33-year-old DIR.
Ralph Mcdonald, militant sales
tax repealist.
Returns from 1913 of the
states 1858 precincts gave: Hoey,
2e3,71s; Mcdonald, 210,264.
That Eure, principal clerk Of
the State House of REPRESENTATIVES.
won the nomination for Secretary
of State over the incumbent, Stacey
W. Wade, on the fact Of unofficial
returns from 1857 precincts. The
standing was: Eure, 1885;

wide races to be decided in the

SHIPS our program

O.
The "Gridiron Flag" of our
country will float again on the
seven seas as it has not been seen
since war days, If the purposes of
the new ship subsidy bill, passed in
the last hour of Congress, are car
ried out. In this new law a Federal
Wartime Authority was set up,
with power to subsidize and super
wise the construction and operation
of American ship, for the foreign
trade. Two hundred new ships in
seven years at a cost of $350,000,-
900 is the building program. I
would like to see it even bigger.
The new law also provides for
subsidies to ship operators to equal
ize the difference between wages
paid to American Officers and sail
ors and the starvation wages paid
by ship wner of other nations.
l hope one result of this will bel
to fill American youth again With
the desire to go to sea, and that Old
Glory will again become a familiar
sight in every seaport Of the world.

DROUGHT irrigation
A friend who lives in northern
Tennessee wrote me the other day
that it had not rained in his part
of the country for II days.
Drought conditions that threaten
the wheat crop and the cattle
ranches are reported from many
parts of the northwest plains and
prairie states. Along the Atlantic
Coast the shortage of rain in April
and May and early June wrought
havoc with the growers Of vege-
tables and small fruits and shot the
price of potatoes up to a new high
record.
What with floods and droughts.
nature has its own way Of regulat-
ing agricultural production. l DOM
know how long it took the Egyp-
tians and the ancient Babylonian:
to develop their systems of irriga-
ton, but sometimes l think that
agriculture can only be conducted
successfully either in a country
where it rains all the time, or in
one where it never rains at all
with irrigation.
