PROBLEEsS OF LINDBERGH'S
NAME ANSWERED

By John B. Koonce
About four weeks ago, Walter
Winchell in his Sunday evening
broadcast said Charles A. Lind
bergh's name was not Charles A.
Lindbergh before his nonstop flight
to Paris. If so, what was his name,
when did he change it, and what
was his fathers name?
Thanks very much.

NTOSTALGIC note:

MosTALGIc note:
A friend of mine tells me
there are but two tallyhoes left in
the city for general hire and he's
not right sure of those. They were,
he knows, about a couple of years
ago, but he's lost track of them.
It worries him, too, because he
used to drive them for the young
blades who attended dances now
and then out of town. The tallyho,
he said, was nothing to fool with,
either. One he was driving hit
some fresh gravel and overturned,
dumping the whole crowd across a
fence into a field.
No one was hurt; no one was even
mad, he said. They all helped right
the thing and climbed back to the
tottering top for the rest of the
trip.
Foot NOTE:
Months ago, the city desk of
The Times found it necessary to
put in repeated long distance calls
by phone to a point in Montana.
The service was good and the re-
write man thought everything was
going to be all right.
However, just as he was about to
receive the news for which the COM
pany had been spending lots of dol
lars, the line open to the little
western town went dead. Every one
in the Office, of course, thought some
wise guy had cut wire.
Well, the other day the A. T. &
T. house organ came into the Office
and there, on the front page, was
an explanation of what probably had
happened. Grows build their nests
in the poles and short-circuit the
lines.
Thus The Times was scooped by
crow.

PRESIDENT GRAHAM
SPEAKS AT WCUNC
Enumerates Three Types of
State Universities Exist
ing In America

Greensboro, April 8-President
Frank P. Graham spoke to the stu
dents of the Woman's College of the
University of North Carolina yester-
day at regular Tuesday convocation
and described informally the func-
tional consolidation of the three di-
visions of the Greater University of
North Carolina. Functional consoli-
dalton, he pointed out, is the only
practical, historically sound, and in
stitutionally fair form of consolida-
ton.
President Graham was presented
by DIR. w. G. Jackson, dean of admin
istration, who was in charge of the
exercises. The college vested choir of
400 voices sang, directed by George
M. Thompson, of the faculty of the
school of music.
Three types of state universities
existing in America today were emu
merated by President Graham as:
KY the original historical university;
D(2) the university with it's land grant
college and it's woman's college all
consolidated on one campus; and 90
and the type of university 1--WE are
trying to work out now in North
Carolina" that is, the historical uni
; versity, the land grant college, and
the womans college, three separate
institutions yet coordinated and con-
fsolidated functionally.
Three principles listed by Presi-
dent Graham as complementary to the
idea of functional consolidation were:
~ a basic first two years at all three
institutions: CD a complete not a
truncatcd Womans College at Greens
boro; and (3) strong college of tech
nology at Raleigh. Within these

Red Root, another old Carter coun-
ty settlement, was named for a weed.
The Red Root invaded Carter county
when agriculture was new to the re-
gion. The weed choked out crops, grow
ing to a height of two or three feet in
the more fertile lands. The farmers
despaired and wondered where the new
weed had come from. It was learned
later that the weed vas common in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. When the
%postoffice department asked for sug-
gestionS for naming a new postoffice,
young Mel Schneider, now Superin-
tendent of schools of Fallon county,
suggested the name Red Root" and
it was accepted. The Red Root weed
has since largely disappeared from the
region but the Russian thistle has come
to take its place.
Alzada, another of Carter county,s
older towns was first called Stoneville,
after Lew Stone, the first saloonkeeper
at the time when General Miles built
the telegraph line from Fort Keogh to
Fort Mead, S. D. The telegraph station
was a dugout covered with rocks, and
the first operator was a German.
S%toneville was established in 1877 and
bore the old name until postal author
tiles decided that there were too many
StonevilleS on postal lists. The town
was renamed AlZada in honor of the
grandmother Of Raymond Sheldon,

Elkhorn residents again are pointing
pridefully to its surrounding noun
tains.
For E1khorn, once q leading Montana
mining metropolis which dWindled to
q dormant ghost mining camp more
than a decade ago, is undergoing re-
birth.
Another great boom and Elkhorn
not only will revive but will surpaSS its
former greatness, residents predict.
The predictions are based on an in
creasing number of families in the
community, on construction underway
for two mills, on another mill now in
operation, on a flourishing beer and
dance hall. on increased mining and
prospecting.
This is. in contrast to a few years
back when n would drive into Elk

who remembered Elkhorn during her
good days and were cling1ng to the
everlasting hope that "she will come

kinds. Plans for local museums are al
ready under way in several counties.
Many private collections are available
as soon as they can be cared for and
protected. Students in high school and

assist in the work.

seen in Carter county. One noted trav-
eler has declared that when the Medi-
i Rocks become more widely known
thousands of visitors will journey to
Carter county. Theodore Roosevelt de-
clared the Rocks to be one of the most
beautiful sights he had ever seen. Once,
in ancient times, the Medicine Rocks
were a shrine for Indian tribes Of the
region. Here the Redmen held sacred
dances and tribal rites. Some of the
Rocks rise nearly 100 feet above the
level of the prairie and take the forms
OF forts, castles, towers, and spiralS.
There are tunnels through which a
mounted horseman may ride. The In
dams painted pictures on the Medi-
cine Rocks but the action of the wind
on the sandstone has caused the old
picture writings to disappear. Many
white men have carved their names on
the rocks. Elmer H.. SCHNEIDER of
Baker says that as a boy he saw the
name of Theodore Roosevelt carved in
a 1O-foot. square on the side Of what
IS o known as the Odd Fellows
Temple of the Medicine Rocks. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, himself, had carved
the name there and it was visible as
late as 1910. The wind has since worn it
away. The wind is constantly enlarg-
ing the holes in the rocks. The rocks
have been called the rival Of the cele-
brated Garden Of the Gods" in Colo
RADIO. .
Another unusual geological forma-
ton Of Carter county is that known as
Chalk Buttes, a high lakeland Of white
clay and sandstone southeast of Eka-
laka. It Is legend that one Indian
tribe starved another on the southwest
corner OF the butteS, a point now known
as Starvation Rock.

DUCKS AND GEESE
in EARLY FLIGHT

One of the earliest flights of water
fowl was recorded with the invasion into
the state from the north, about Aug. 10,
Of large numbers of geese and ducks,
including canvasback, mallard and teel.
No explanation as to why the birds
started the southwark trek so early is
offered. The birds rested on the larger
lakes and reservoirs, much the same as
they do in the annual southern flight
IN the fall.
Dispatches from some Alberta points
stated that some of the larger lakes
and sloughs have dried rapidly during
the hot weather and many ducks per-
ished. Some hunters are of the opinion
the waterfowl probably started south in
search of adequate water.
The waterfowl season will open this
year on Oct. 10, to continue for q
month. The limit will be 10 birds a
day, with c~anvaSback and redhead
ducks added to the protected list.
