ed and ordered to be made good;
each subsequent inspection has
shown Improvement, so that in
main the general condition of the
markets is as satisfactory as the
conditions allow.
The stock was found to be
sound, refrigeration ample and
protection from outside morbidi-
ties as complete as was practl-
able. In each instance the man
ayers showed a willingness and
anxiety to comply with the re-
quirementS demanded by the au-
thorities.
This office is not prepared to
search out the sources OF supply
or to determine the quality of the
stock used; all it can do is to be
assured that the fresh meats and
fish served to the public are free,
and are kept, so as to remain
free. from those changes which
render them unfit for human con-
sumption.
1t is the opinion of this office
that a far greater danger lies in
the cursory and incomplete in
spections made of the public eat
ing places in the city. This, how
ever, is a state function and it
has not been determined to what
extent local authority supple
ment or intervene. But observa-
ton and experience with these
so-called state inspections and
ratings conduce largely to the
view that the conductors Of them
are nightly concerned with
cleanliness-which concern is
highly commendable-but pay
little attention to the fitness or
unfitness of the personnel, which,
so far as the public health is
concerned is far more important.

Similar praise was voiced by
Harry Cuthrell, of Portsmouth,
Past Incohonee, who stated that
he had visited WigwamS in every
section of the country and had
seen none to compare with that
of Pasquotank Tribe No. 8.
All the visiting Red Men-and
they were many in number-had
nothing but praise and congratu-
lationS for the local tribe.
For the duration of the dedi-
catory exercises, w. Ben Good
win acted as master of ceremon-

Sachem; w. w. CohOon as Sa-
chem; N. Elton Aydlett as Junior

Edenton as Senior Sycamore and
Fentress Horner and Tom Boswell
as Senapes.
Mr.. Goodwin introduced visit
ing members Of the Great Coun-
Gil Of North Carolina and the
Great Council Of the United
States, who were then escorted to
their seats. Among those who
spoke were: Great Incohonee
BURNETT, Past Incohonee3 Harry
Cuthrell of Portsmouth and w.
P. Wachter of HagerStOWn, Md,

The building committee, con-
sisting OF C. w. Ward, chairman,
and o. T. Bundy and w j. john

Ward presented the key to the
new Wigwam to Great Sachem

dedicatory ritual.
The WigWam was dedicated to
freedom. friendship, charity and
union" ="
After the dedication. Mr.. Good
win took over the prigram as
master Of ceremonre4 and intro
duced the various speakers.
At the close of the ceremonies,
the tribe presented Mr.. Goodwin
with a handsome pen and pencil
set as a token of appreciation for
his services to the tribe, and pre-
sented a watch to Charlie Ward
for his services as chairman Of
the building committee.
Ice cream and cake was served
during the program.
Approximately 500 Red Men

Mr.. Roosevelt they want to keep
congress in session until next year
if necessary in order to enact his
legislative program.
Clubhouse Quarters
Virtually all cabinet members

Mr.. Roosevelt will give personal
interviews with all who desire
them.
Presumably one of the main
topics of conversation will be the
supreme court reorganization bill,
which Robinson said yesterday
probably will be called up from
the senate calendar late next
week.
Speculate on Effect
Most bitterly fought issue of the
18th congress, the supreme court
bill has caused a wide split in
Democratic ranks. Both sides in
the fight speculated tonight on
whether the forthcoming talks
will have some effect on the out
come or on the efforts to work out
a compromise which would win
senate approval.

the White House to Annapolis, eX-

his official yacht, the U. S. S. Po-

two miles from the island because
of shallow water, he will transfer

gulations pertaining to the pre-
sentation of a show of this type,
a safety zone of one mile is to be
established around the airport,
No parking or congregating of
spectators will be permitted with
in this zone, officials of the show
stated.
This is done to eliminate the
possibility of an accident occur
ing to any of the spectators

the events are being staged.
Tickets in the form of wind
shield stickers are to be placed
on sale today at all Pure Oil Ser
vice Stations in the city, the
Apothecary Shop, and leading
downtown drug stores and cafes.
These stickers will sell for S1.00
each and will admit an entire
careload of people into the fly
ing field.
When asked what constituted a
carload of people. P. H. Cum
ningham, general manager OF the
troupe stated, three, ten or thirty
people, in or on the car would
make a nice sized carload and
urged that all the cars be well
filled.
In order to facilitate the handl-
ing of the increased amount of
traffic expected to turn out for
this event. everyone is urged to
purchase their tickets in the form
of windshield StickerS and to
start early to avoid the last-min-
ute rush. 1t was pointed out that
those who purchase their tickets
in this form. will not only reach
the airport faster but will be ad-
mitted into the parking area di-
rectly on the flying field without
being stopped by the ticket-sell-
ers located one mile from the
field.

Room For Improvement

When the city and trolley company finally come to al understanding about removal of tracks, wires, poles, etc., we presume there will be considerable activ- ity in street paving. AS matter of fact, many of our principal streets have been ignored of recent years, because the city fathers were afraid that if the authoriza- tion to repair the streets was given, the job would no sooner be finished than the trolleys would be discontinued and the necessity of removing tracks cost plenty in additional repaving. The wisdom of holding off has undoubtedly saved the city considerable money.
 Now that the trolleyS are on the way out there is no reason to hold off on the paving program. And judging by what the city fathers have been doing the next few years will find our main arteries of travel being put into best possible con- dition. That recalls to us an idea we talked about few years ago. Nothing ever came of it; perhaps nothing ever will, but we still think it could be done.
 The entrance to the Chase Park Boule- yard, which constitutes perhaps the fin est approach to this city, could be con- Siderably enhanced by doing things to Freight street. Despite the fact that it gives access on our freight yards and sides row after row of railroad tracks, the thoroughfare is an attractive one. It could be improved by hard-surfacing the entire width of it or better still by boule- varding it = narrow parkway down the middle to the private grade crossing right near the Naugatuck River bridge.
 That would cost money and perhaps isn't listed as necessity But it would do just what we say -- improve the ap- preach to the boulevard and make the drive along the freight tracks and under the railroad trestle more attractive as well as increase the respect of visitors for our city planning.

The death of G. F. Heublein of Hartford removes colorful figure from that citys life. He was 87 years old and had been in business in Hartford for practically 67 years. That's long time, but it was a period well spent as we don't know any name more intimately connected with the city than that of Heublein. c. F. Heublein gave his name to the hotel which still bears it; he gave it to the many Heublein products which are na- tionally known. While the period of prohibition interrupted successful liquor importing and exporting trade, the Heublein name had again been linked to fine liquors in the last few years. The Heublein Hotel was the gathering place of notables in it's history. The Heublein real estate holdings occupied front page prominence. A remarkable career for German immigrant boy of 1870

A Book a Day
A Crimystery Told in Good-Natured Vein
By BRUCE CATION

The writer who doesn't take him. self too seriously Is apt to go far in the detective-story racket. A capac- ity for poking good-natured fun at his characters, his plot, and the mystery story in general tends to make for books that are pleasant as well as baffling.
 That's one of the reasons why "The Thing in the Brook" by Peter Storme (Simon and Schuster: $2), is so readable. Another reason is the fact that 1t contains a neatly contrived and properly gory mur- der; still another, the fact that MT. Storme knows how to make his characters look and talk like recog- niZable human beings - think which is utterly beyond most of his brethren in this branch of litera- ture.
 Anyhow, "The Thing in the Brook tells about a miserly farmer whom someone first throttleS, then clubs over the head. then hangs from a i tall tree. A bookish college profess sor finds the body, and 8 friend of 1 his. a sedentary cotton converter (???) from New York, comes down to do some amateur dabbling in crime detection. Somewhat to his own surprise. he solves the murder. It's all very pleasant.
 Not quite so much can be said for Mine Doctors and a Madman," by by Elizabeth Curtiss (9iImon and Schuster: $2). Here we have an eerie. grewsome setting-a scheming murderer loose in an insane asylum
 -and the thing will doubtless give you some delightful shivers Up and down your spine; but the virtues specifically attributed to Mr. Stormc seem to be missing.

Henry Ford ought to be appraised of the fact that the trolley car will soon be as extinct as the dodo in New England. Surely MT. Ford's museum of Americana at Dearborn ought to contain one exam pie of this mode of transportation which proved so popular and which lasted so short a time, relatively speaking. We note that the local traction company is getting rid of its cars in preparation for a completely motorized service We presume that in time we won't even be able to find or view single trolley in this city, unless somebody takes advantage of the concerns offer to buy a car for a hen coop or a summer-cottage We suppose that the majority of the familiar yellow equipages will be burned Too bad they couldn't be chopped up to supply fire-wood for needy families. Maybe this is an idea.
