Traffic Deaths Increase

February traffic fatalities in the
United States totaled 1850, an in
crease of "a per cent over the rec
ord of February, 1886, according to
the National Safety council.
The usual seasonal slump" was
shown, according to the council, in
the February record as compared
with the total of $3.50 deaths in
January.
The totals for February and Janu-
airy combined showed an increase of
1850 over the first two months of
1886, but the National Safety coun-
Gil attributed the increase in part to
increased travel due to milder
weather as compared with the rig
orous weather of the first two
months of last year.

FARM PROGRESS
PLEASES MIR. POE
Records Show Farmers Want to
Progress More; Vocational
Training Popular

DR.. Clarence Poe, eminent farm
editor of Raleigh, declared in an adj
dress last week at the better farm
ers" dinner at the Chamber of Com
merce in Charlotte that the meeting
represented three signs of progress
AN increase of live-at-home farm
ing, an increase of two-armed farm
ing, and increased eagerness for
knowledge and progress.
Six hundred honor farmers from
over this district attended the lun-
cheon sponsored by the division of
vocational education of the State de-
partment of public, instruction. The
luncheon was provided by the Chill
can Nitrate of Soda educational bu-
reau and Clarence o. Kuester.
Trend Revising
"North Carolina and the South
are turning from the farm products
we have overproduced to those we
have underproduced," said DR.. Poe.
'"This is not a matter of choice but
of necessity. The vast quantities of
corn, meat, and hay heretofore
brought in from the west must in
increasing measure be produced
here at home. Increasingly North
Carolina will grow these products
at home, saving freight and middle
mans profits. Southern farm men
and women are so eager for prog
ress that they are leading in number
of county agents, in improved farm
practices, in clubs for farm boys and
girls, and in number of pupils Of
vocational agriculture"
DR.. Roy H. Thomas of Raleigh,
State supervisor of agricultural ed
ucation, said there are 293 depart
ments of vocational agriculture with
an enrolment of approximately TO-
900 pupils in North Carolina today.
He showed that the program of vo-
cational instruction is proving very
successful.

Chemists M Myste1'iOus
Death INVESTIGATED

Mysterious circumstances sur
round the death Of M. Duchamp,
world-famous chemist, found dead
in the laboratory Of his home in
Paris.
A tiny block of metal, Of an
unknown quality, which came to
the chemist in mysterious fash
ion from an anonymous sender,
is in some way responsible for
Duchamp'S death.
A package addressed to the
dead man was left on the back
step of his home. In it was found
a block of metal, small but
heavy. With the package was a
note which said:
81 found this metal during
my travels. 1t is unknown to
me. I thought you'd like to ex-
anime it. An Unknown Ad-
mirer."
SHE SCENTS DANGER
M. Duchamp'S beautiful daugh-
ter, Suzette, who had delivered
the package to her father, un-
cannily perceived danger, and
told her father:
There's something strange
about this, Papa"
Duchamp called his daughters
fears nonsence. and he retired to
his laboratory to analyze the
metal. The metal defied all met
allurgical tests. Duchamp pa
tiently mixed another solution.
and applied it to the small block
of metal.
Suddenly, unaccountably, the
strange metal block began to glow.
It became white hot. Hours later
when Suzette came to call him
for supper he was staring hypnoti-
cally at the glowing metal.
AS Duchamp sprang to his feet,
the white-hot glow instantly died

.BARD'S CRITICS
R|D|CULED

1nveighing against the critics Of
Shakespeare, George Lyman Kitt-
redge, professor of English litera-
ture at Harvard University and
authority on Elizabethan drama,
spoke last night at the Folger
Library in celebration of the three
hundred and seventy-third ami
versary of the birth Of Avon's
Bard.
Attacking those who extracted
esthetic and subtle interpretations
from the plays of Shakespeare,
Kittredge contended that the
meaning of the plays always was
the simple and obvious one. In
the course of the evening many
prominent critics were held up to
ridicule by the speaker, whose wit
cracked across the audience.
