FOREST FIRE BURNS

All Efforts of Foresters To
Suppress 1t
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.


Raleigh, Nov. For persistancy in
the face of unusual suppression eff
forts, w. c. Mccormick, assistant
State forester of the Department of
Conservation and Development, in
charge of forest fire control, points
to a fire in the lower part of Wash
ington county as a contender for a
record.
This fire broke out in the peat lands
near the junction of Hyde, Beaufort
and Washington counties early in
May, and Mr.. Mccormick reported it
as still burning after a visit to the
scene this week
Mr.. Mccormick declared that it has
been the hardest fire to suppress he
has come in contact with during
years of forest fire experience. Every
estry Department in the control of
forest fires has been brought to bear
on the conflagration, but none has
yet been successful.
In some places the peaty matter has
burned to a depth of from IS inches
to three feet, Mccormick said. One
of the principal problems arises
from the fact that the fire has ap-
parently been out on several occasions
spreads underground, breaking out
at new points. AS final effort, he
declared, the fire-fighters are seek
ing to smother the fire and now seem
to be meeting with success.

Carolina-Duke Football
Classic Holding Gr'iidliron
Interest Next Weekend

Chapel Hill, Nov. Indications
point to capacity crowd Of $4,000 for
the annual North Carolina-Duke foot
ball classic which will hold the center
of the stage in this section of the ma
ton next Saturday, November a.
All of the $4,000 seats in the con-
crete stands had been sold week
ago, but temporary stands to accom-
modate 5000 more spectators have
been installed.
The game will mark the renewal of
one of the nations keenest and most
colorful gridiron rivalries dating back
to 1889. Carolina holds the edge in
the series with II wins, six losses, and
two ties.
The game this year will, in all pro-
liability, decide the championship of
the Southern Conference. Duke, the
defending champion, and Carolina
were both undefeated prior to their
contests today with Wake Forest and
Davidson.
Contrary to their rating last year,
when they had bowled over all oppo-
sition by lop-sided scores and were
regarded as the best bet for the Rose
Bowl invitation, the Tar Heels will
enter the contest this year in the role
of underdog.
Prior to the game this weekend,

Carolina and Duke had lost only one
contest, Carolina lost to Tulane 21-7
and Duke lost to Tennessee 1913.
Rated a better team than the Blue
Devils last year by two or three
touchdowns, the Tar Heels shocked
football fans throughout the nation
by going down before Blue Devil on
slaught in a drizzling rain $50.
Bearing in mind that the Blue Dew
lis have played one more game than
have the Tar Heels, as well as the
class of opposition encountered, one
finds that the statistics show that
in seven games the Blue Devils have
gained 1880 yards in rushing compar-
ed to 925 gained by Carolina in six
games. Through passes Duke gained
458 yards in seven games compared
to 335 for Carolina in six games
Dukes kicking average is 5 yards
greater than Cardinals. In its first
seven games Duke made 70 first
downs and scored % touchdowns,
while Carolina in six games made SO
first downs and II touchdowns.
The Carolina supporters who hope
for a victory this year may gain some
degree of comfort by recalling the
1884 contest, played here, when Caro-
lima upset the dope to lick superior
Duke club 10.

to have the Wildcats brace and hold
them away from the payoff territory
In the first quarter, Henderson

to prompt her to wish that all credit
in the circumstances should be attrib-
uted to him. Especially after his death,
in 1880, she desired obscurity for herself.
But in sober truth it may be said
that Mr.. Folger's dream for the Library
might never have been fulfilled had his
wife not survived to bring it to compile
ton. Certainly, the gift had been an

taken. The major work, however, re-
manned to be done; and it was Mrs.
Folger who supervised the actual con-
struction and equipment of the build
ing. OF course, she paid for her labors
in terms of pain-her suffering heroic
ally concealed until the very end.
The final result. she insisted, was
worth the cost. She went to her rest
with her soul filled with triumphant
satisfaction. Mr.. Folger's vision and
her own had been translated into
durable and serviceable homage to the
great poet they had loved and in the
interest of the American people, by
whom they never should be forgotten.

Mrs. Henry Clay Folger.

It is with profound sorrow and regret
that the Nations Capital hears of the
passing of Mrs. Henry Clay Folger.
Washington was her home when she
was a girl, to the city she returned for
periodic visits during long sequence
of years and it was her privilege to
influence the choice of the eastern side
of Capitol Hill for the beautiful Shake
speare Library in which her name, in
association with her husbands, will be
immortal.
Yet only those who knew her init
mately can understand the part she
played in the romance which finally
eliminated in one Of the most inter-
esting philanthropies ever conceived by
a partnership Of minds and hearts. The
story never was told in public print
while Mrs. Folger lived. Rather, she
insisted that 1t be suppressed. Her
devotion to her husband was such as

gency. He demanded to know from the
Chamber whether France advocates
keeping contracts only when they turn
out in her favor" Then he recalled the
hostile reception he encountered when
he asked Parliament four years ago to
fulfill Frances obligations to the United
States. For my part" M. Herriot de-
clared, IT believe all obligations, whether
profitable o. not, should be met when
uue ask you whether that is prin-
ciple that can no longer be defended in
the French Chamber"
Unfortunately, there is no prospect
that M. Herriot's commendable and
timely observations will cause any
change in French policy to ignore the
American debt. But it is altogether
worth while to have statesman OF his
caliber bring up the issue on occasion.
It justifies hope, however slender, that
some day French government, perhaps
under Herriot's own leadership. will
bring itself to recognize the enduring
sanctity of the obligation due to the
United States and move in the direction
of its liquidation. Greece, which is one
of Americas minor defaulting debtors,
has just evidenced its good will by offer
ing to pay thirty-five per cent of the
coupon value of 1896 payments due May
10 and November 10. The total amount
involved, $142,544, is not impressive,
measured against the background of the
total of $12,437 1877 ,O30 due from all of
Uncle Sans debtors, but both the French
and Grecian developments are har-
bingers that the debt issue need not be
regarded as an irretrievably lost cause.

STARS, MEN AND ATOMS
Notebook of Science Progress in Field,
Laboratory and Study.
BY THOMAS p. HENRY.

A former Bureau of Standards phys
icist may have solved one of the weirdest
paradoxes in the history of science.
foundation the still weirder paradoxes
which were evolved originally to explain
the apparent contradictions responsible
for the first paradox.
Nearly a half century ago the late
Prof. Albert A. Nicholson. father of DR..
Truman Nicholson of the Smithsonian
Institution, attempted an experiment,
which since has been one of the classics
of science, in an effort to measure the
motion of the earth through space. He
sent out simultaneously two beams OF
light, one in the direction of the motion
of the earth and one at right angles
to it. At the end of identical, precisely
measured distances both beams were re-
flected by mirrors back to their starting
point.
Now theoretically the light beam sent
in the direction of the earth's motion
should have come back trif1e sooner
than the beam sent out at right angles.
The path back would be shorter because
the earth itself would be moving to-
wards the rejecting point. In the case
of the right-angle beam, on the contrary,
it would be longer. The experiment re-
quired some precise measurements, but
the results to be expected were well out
side the limits of experimental error. If
the earth was moving it seemed certain
that this test would reveal its motion.
Nobody at the time could pick any flaws
in it.
Strangely enough, the two beams came
back to the starting point at precisely
the same time, within the limits of ex-
perimental error.
Consequently, it might be deduced, the
earth was standing still.
But everybody knew that it wasn't
standing still. It was turning on its
axis, it was moving with great speed
around the sun, it was moving through
space, and it might have half dozen
other motions.
Physicists we're stymied. Two abso-
lutely contradictory facts" stared them
in the face.
It opened the gates for an influx of
weird paradoXes, such as science had not
known before. One inescapable conclu-
sion seemed to be that the motion Of the
earth could not possibly be determined
by any terrestrial measurements, without
reference to outside objects.
An early explanation was the cele-
brated Fitzgerald-Lorenz hypothesis,
which postulated that the dimensions of
any possible measuring stick used on
earth would change automatically with
their orientation in respect to the plan
cts movement. Then came Albert Elm.
stein with his special theory of rela-
tivity, which not only explained the para
dox but was capable of experimental
verification, within certain limits. Its
acceptance revolutionized all mans ideas
of time and space.
But some were not willing to accept
the results of the famous Nicholson
Morley experiment. It was repeated,
with refinements, over and over again.
Almost inevitably essentially the same
results were obtained. Prof. Nicholson
himself repeated the experiment after
rs years. The difference in the results
were insignificant. There was still one
outstanding doubter, Prof. Dayton 9.
Miller Of Cleveland. IA made the test

Washington.

Abraham Lincoln. it might have been
supposed, was equipped by nature to
praise the Father of His Country. Yet
when an occasion arose in which he de-
sired to pay tribute TO his most remote
predecessor in the presidency he could
but say ITO add brightness to the
sun or glory to the name of Wash
ington is alike impossible, Let none
attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce
the name, and in its naked. desthleSs
splendor leave it shining,
And yet it would be serious fault
on the part of living Americans II they
were to content themselves With mere
unthinking laudation Of their hero
Rather, it is a duty for the average
individual citizen to attempt 10 under
stand him. Even though the effort fail
of complete success. something is GER
tain to be gained Probably it was with
that instinct in his heart that Lord
Brougham prophesied: The test of
the progress of mankind will be in the
appreciation of the character of Wash
1ngton"
His contemporaries labored under the
disadvantage of being undetached from
the conditions and the circumstances Of
the first Presidents military and politi-
cal career. For lack of perspective they
could not see him clearly, evaluate him
accurately. But, of course, they felt the
grandeur of his soul-a compelling and
mics to him despite the maximum of
psychological resistance. Whole ma
tions beheld in the erstwhile Virginia
farmer those qualities which enabled
Theodore Parker long afterward to de-
clare: For a thousand years no king
In Christendom has shown such great
ness or given so high type of manly
virtue"
Such homage serves but to repeat the
Judgment of Gen. Lafayette: wash
ington is the greatest man; for look
upon him as the most virtuous." Today
an inquirer may read nearly two CEN
turies of tribute and find throughout
1t all, blazing on every page, the same
acknowledgement of innate spiritual in
tegrity, dignity and maturity. Had he
failed, had his cause been lost and his
banner dragged in the dust and blood
of complete disaster. he still would have
been immortal in the memory of a race
which providentially is possessed of
genius enough to applaud distinction of
soul.
But it will bear repetition that the
utility of Washington to his people did
not terminate when he died and his
philosophy was institutionalized in man
ners and customs of thought and codes
of laws. Instead, he left his example
to be, as Robert Southey testified, "a
light for aftertimes" It is the duty of
the heirs of his labors to strive to COM
prehend his purposes, to protect and
to advance them. And every hour offers
opportunity for that work.
