If you can find time in your hectic life
to study Einsteinis theory. you Will
find it as confusing as figuring out
the numbering system of our houses. We
suggegt that if nyou take number from

theory, subtract all logic and then
throw away the results, you will still
have a time finding specific house

We trust that you have abandoned your

if you use our chimneys, we warn you
that you wi II find your self in a dark

Two Games
From Portland
By UNITED PRESS

king, started the new month by
sWatting two homers and Seattle
won Us over Portland in the first

went 10 innings before the Indians

paign. Seattle also took the night
cap with a score of 80.
Ted Williams two circuit blows
led San Diego to a 1915 win over
the San Francisco Seals and kept
the Padres in the thick of the pen

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2. U.R) -
Sen. Pat McCarran, D., New, con-
tended today that the postoffice
department has raised an insur-
mountable barrier against the prog
ress of American aviation" by a
decision forbidding through air
sleeper service from New York to
Los Angeles.
McCarran, in statement issued
from Naval hospital where he is
recuperating from illness, criticized
Pest Office Solicitor Karl A. Crow
ley's opinion declaring invalid a
proposed contract between United
Air Lines and Western Air Express.
The contract would have permitted
United to run sleeper planes direct
to Los Angeles from the east rath-
er than the present route which
leads first to San Francisco, then
south to Los Angeles.
McCarran described the decision
as "one of a long series of dis

couragements which have met every
effort of the nations airline5 to
improve their service to the public. :"
He said he did not seek to pass
judgment on merits of the contract
involved but contended that the
interests of the public are ignored
under the present law"
Decisions affecting the airlines
are not based upon a broad deter
mination of public convenience and
necessity, as in other forms of trans
port, but on the narrow interests
of airmail and the still narrower
provisions Oh the airmail act of
1884" he SAID.

Gloucester Holds
Memorial Service

Gloucester, Mass, Aug. 8.-(U.R)
Flowers were cast on the ebbing
tide of Gloucester harbor today
for the fishermen who go down
to the sea in ships"-and never
return.
Hundreds of neighbors and
shipmates of the men whose lives
were claimed by the sea during the
past year gathered along shore to
drop tributes from seaside gardens
into the placid waters.
For eight of the seas victims,
today's traditional fishermen'S
memorial service was the first
funeral rite. Of nine dead, only
one body was recovered during the
year.
Their survivors - five widows
and 10 children stood quietly by
as services were intoned by minis
ters and a eulogy delivered by
Gardner H. Foley of the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
Loss of the 55-foot gill METER
Virginia and Joan I'd in Ipswich
Bay, almost within sight of home,
accounted for six of the victims
Commanded by Austin E. Wonson,
25, the boat vanished during a

NelD Type Shoulder
Satisfactory

A new type of highway shoulder
has been tried out on the Edenton-
Hertford highway and has proved
to be most satisfactory, according
to State highway engineers.
When a highway maintenance
crew resurfaced the ChoWan River
Bridge recently, they had several
truckloads of the old surfacing
material on their hands. So it was
decided to use some of this on the
shoulders of some of the highway
curves in the vicinity of Edenton
in stead of using crushed stone,
the material most commonly used
in making the shoulders safer on
curves.
About a foot of the asphalt was
laid on each side of the highway
on several of the curves outside of
Edenton on the road to Hertford,
and it has made a very satisfac-
tory shoulder.

Fire Chief and
A GdrGQe

ManteO, Aug. 8.-In a meetlng
of the Manteo Volunteer Fire De-
partment Friday night Cecil
Mann. owner and operator OF the
Mann Garage here, was elected
Chief, replacing Dewey Hayman,
former chief, whose transfer from
here to Williamson forced his
resignation.
On leaving the department
Hayman left something to be re-
membered by, a garage to house
the truck. Until now the truck has
been keep in shed at the END
of Water Street. The garage needs
a few repairs, however, it will
make a much better place for the
truck than the former. A repre-
sentative from the fire depart
ment, is to ask for an appropria-
ton by the town board az the
boards next meeting, sometime
this week, forwhich to defray the
expense Of the repairs. The garage
is located behind the bank, al
most directly in the center OF the
business district.
Hugh Basnight was elected to
fill the place left open by Mann's
rise, that of assistant chief.
It was revealed al this meet
ing by Secretary Ralph Davis re-
port that in the fiscal year end
ing August l, 1887, the entire loss
in Manteo as a result of fire was
only $40. On all Roanoke Island
however, the record was not quite
so impressive. Even so, the de-
partmer; did a fine job, consid-
ering that Sl50,000 worth of
property has been menaced by
flames on Roanoke Island, with
a small loss of only $3.50.
Mann and Basnight were nam
ed delegates to the state firemans

Light Evening Dress

May light colored evening
dresses be worn in the winter
time? I don't mean velvets or
any of the heavier winter ma
terials, but am referring to chif-
fon and taffeta?
Answer: 1 think this is a ques-
ton of fashion. At present dress
es of light colored thin materials
are being worn everywhere, and
such being the case they are
particularly suitable for young
people. Clothes in winter are
somewhat more elaborate in de-
sign and less skimpy in their use
of material.

big Apple" Contest
Held at Beach

Mantco, Aug. g. The Big APP
pie" has been causing quite dis
turbance around NagS Head dur
ing the last several weeks. In fact,
it became so popular that the Nags
Head Beach Club finally decided
to put on a contest to see who at
NagS Head was best at doing this
type of dance. 1t was decided Fri
day night, with Bus" Wozelka, Of
Edenton and Sue Schmidt, Of
Richmond, taking first honors.
Bus" and Sue started along with
large group. about two dozen,
but it wasn't long before the
judges picked them out.
Two other contests were offer
ed, trucking and Waltzing. Truck
ing has also been causing no little
interest around here lately. Were
it not for trucking the Big Apple
would be a very different dance,
Winners of the prize for the best
truckers were Joe Perry Of Eliza
beth City and Katherine Jessup,
of Hertford. Mr.. and Mrs. John
Rodney were the most graceful
walters and so took home the
prize in this event.
Following the contests two of
the walters at the Beach Club
thrilled the crowd with a jig. AS
a token of its appreciation the
audience threw out quite a few
coins on the floor for which the
two walters had a mad scramble
at the closing of their dance.
