1871 INMATES IN
n. c. INSTITUTIONS
1882 Patients in Four Men
tai Hospitals; 1889
In Prisons

RALEIGH. Nov. a. - DR.. j. wallace
Nygard, director OF the division OF IN
situations and corrections OF the state
Board of Charities and Public WeiIare
released a report today when showed
that as of September 30, 1885, there
were 1881 persons confined TO penal
correctional and charitable Ihstltu-
tions of the State.
Of that num.er, the statement SAID,
1852 were patients in the four men
tai hospitals maintained by the state
of North Carolina, while 9,3oS were
inmates of State prisons and prison
farms.
A total of 1874 were in institutions
for physical detectives; 1856 were IN
delinquent schools for men and Wo-
men, and SO were inmates OF the
homes for Confederate veterans ana
women.
On September 80 there were 1870
persons confined in 78 county Ja1ls OF
the state, either awaiting trial or ser
wing sentences, the report showed
while 115 insane persons were IN At
jails. The latter number included 10
under 25 years of age. There also were
143 children under 16 years of age
in 81 county jails during the month
The report also disclosed that on
September 80 there were 1892 inmates
of 85 county homes, including 81 chill
dren of less than 16 years OF age.
There are now many applicants
awaiting entrance in all of our state
mental institutions" DR.. Nygard said.
'The recent Governors Commission
for the Study of the Care of the In
sane and Mental Detectives" he con-
tinued, estimates that there are 1,7OO
white feeble-minded children and 700
Negro feeble-minded children who
need longtime state institutional care
and treatment.

acity of 675 feeble-minded whites,

mate on the number of insane in

private homes, but during the fiscal

the county jails reporting to this di-
vision.

Enforcement of Act
AS compared with 1886, the admins
tration collected more samples OF
food and drugs, but there were sllght
decreases in the totals of the crlmf-
nal prosecutions and seizures I'M
provement in foreign trade was re-
Elected in an increase in the number
of import samples and in time devot-
ed to imports.
The spray residue situation has I'M
proved materially, : largely because
many states now meet fully the Fede-
raj standards and are controlling
poisonous spray residues on fruits and
vegetables before the products leave
the s.a.l. .,'cdcra. workers analysed
more than 5000 samples of fresh fruits
and vegetables, but on incomplete re-
turns state laboratories are known to
have made more than $4,000 tests.
Continuing the good record of sew
eral years, no authentic case of botu-
ism from American commercially
canned food was reported, says Mr..
Campbell.
Both the salmon and tuna packs re-
quired considerable control last year,
but the sardine and mackerel packs
no reason for seizures. The admins
tration and the salmon packing in
ductry have worked out new me-
thod for simplifying the control of the
pack and making it more effective.
Adulteration of food with water is
one of the most profitable forms of
economic cheats, and one of the hard
est to deal with, says the report, en-
phasizing the need for legal stand
ards to establish limits on the water
content of canned and bottled pro-
ducts.
The administration tested the vita
min V value of nearly 100000 gallon
OF imported principally cod-liver
oil intended for animal feeding. About
one third was deficient in vitamin
value and was excluded. In inter
state tests Of vitam:n products, "a out
of "a samples failed to show the vita
NJ in values claimed for them.
Conditions are improving notably
but the campaign for cleaner cream
and butter will have to be continued,
the report says. It also includes rec
ords of the enforcement of several
minor acts administered by the Food
and Drug administration that regu-
late insecticide, caustic poisons, i'm
port milk, filled milk, naval stores,
tea imports and the certification of
cOal-taf colors.

HALIFAX FARM HAS
BIG COTTON YIELD

Halifax, Nov &C. A. House, Hob
good, Route 1, tried an experiment
with his seed cotton this year.
On one field he planted Coker 100
which he secured direct from the
breeder. eOn another field he planted
cotton which was five years from the
breeder. Then he awaited results.
At picking time the cotton one year
from the breeder yielded 1900 pounds
of seed cotton per acre. The other
yielded only 800 pounds, according to
r. w. Reaves,, assistant farm agent
Of the State College Extension Service.
The cost of production was the same
on both fields, Reaves pointed out.

news story says. They aren't 60
ing to let us get away with any
more free-and-easy casual or play
fully imaginative naming.
For instance, some run-of-the-
mill citizen, probably not on a
Government pay roll, but with a
streak of poetry in him, saw a
beautiful cascade, waited to a
mournful mist as it dropped to a
deep, shadoWed canyon.
He called it Widows Tears
Falls" and the name stuck. The
Geographic Board blue-pencilS that
and names it "Bridalveil Falls;
Mud Lake" becomes Jewel Lake,
and "Dishwater Pond" is now
Mirror Lake"
PRETTIFYING
There's a long list Of similar
changes. The more one looks at
these Substitutions the clearer be-
come their revelations of a new,
and to this writer, quite abhorrent
trend in American life-to slick
up and prettify anything which is
bit too realistic. Widows tears
become a bridal veil; mud is con-
jured into a jewel, and dishWater
into a mirror.
There have been a lot Of tears,
mud and dishwater, and even a
bit of blood now and then stirred
into the amalgam which is Amer,
lea. They're still there, no matter
what we call them. This writer
for some reason or other, is more
apt to become violent and in need
of restraint over a thing like this
than he is over, say, a balanced
budget.
Berton Braley must feel that
way, too. To my mind, the best
poem he ever wrote was a savage
outbreak addressed to a photog
rapher who had ironed out all the
lines in his face. Put them back
I earned them" was his refrain
The same words, in a deep-throateo
roar from Homo Americana, ad
dressed to the Geographic Board
would have an obvious and peril
nent meaning.

have ants in their pants. They
never know when to let well

panded. That yardstick is the
physical proportions of the new
Supreme Court Building.
Everyone in Washington is
familiar with the magnificent
space in the new building which
prevails throughout, except in one
significant spot, that particular
spot" is the courtroom.
Where are you going to get room
in that tiny place to add accommo-
dations at the bench for six more
justices?
AS it is constructed now, you will
remember from your last visit,
there is room behind that magnifi-
cent bench" for just nine chairs.
Flanking the two ends of the
bench" (Which, in reality, looks
more like an ornate bar" and 1
don't mean the one before which
only lawyers practice) are the
desks of the clerk and the court
crier. The chairs of these gentle
men are on a raised platform. Be.
hind these little platforms is just
room enough for person to pass
on business of the court.
If each justice is to have as
much room, if and when the court
swells to Is, as the nine men have
now, the bench will have to be
two thirds longer, and the clerk
and the court crier will have to sit
out in the courts" thanking the
courtroom.
The courts" in this instance
refer to the tastefully decorated
space between the walls of the
wings. Each has a fountain in
the center and each is very beauti-
full, but there's no place for court
crier to sit if his "Oyez" is to be
heard in the courtroom.
! Perhaps the present members of
the court won't mind if they recall
the inconvenienceS and crowding
that was their lot in the Capitol.
Here they were located in the old
Senate chamber and one of the
big reasons for moving to a new
building was to allow them to
stretch out a bit.
But it was then reckoned on
only nine. Fifteen is going to

UNKNOWN SOLDIER


How much do you know and
how much have you forgotten
about the Unknown Soldier?
In the Congressional Directory
there is an autobiography of q
Member of the House of Repre-
sentatives that has this to say
about this particular mans war
record:
Served throughout the World
War, being a company COM
mander of the Fifteenth New
York Volunteers, later known
as the Three Hundred and
Sixty.ninth Regiment of Infan.
try; took part in the Battle of
Champagne, July Is, 1918, was
awarded the French CrOix de
Guerre and the American Silver
Star for gallantry in action;
served as Major of Infantry in
Fourth Division of the Army of
Occupation and graduated from
the Army General Staff College
of the American ExpeditiOnary
Forces; now holds rank of
Colonel in the Officers Reserve
Corps"
With this as his background it
is quite appropriate that Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish, Republi-
can from the Twenty-sixth Dis
trict of New York, should have
introduced as his first bill in en-
tering Congress in December,
1920, the piece of legislation
which started the ball rolling to-
ward the burial CT the Unknown
Soldier in Arlington. Cemetary.
This is one of the Illuminating
facts revived in a little pamphlet
entitled known But to God"
which was written by Paul P.
Walsh. It is a gold mine" of in
formation. It contains a full.
length article by Mr.. Walsh on
the history of the legislation and
the selection of the body that was
placed in Arlington with all the
honors that this country could
assemble.
The greatest value of the little
pamphlet, however, lies in q set
of questions and answers at the
close. This chapter is devoted to
the questions most frequently
asked by visitors to the Tomb,
such as:
"When was the Unknown Sol
dier selected?
What person or persons made
the selection?
"WhO blew taps at the I'm
known Soldiers funeral?
What religious service or
services were held?"

WINDY GAP"
Two old desert rats were dying
OF thirst in the chaparral in
Death Valley. The heat haze
lifted from the Panamints and
they saw break in the cruel wall
of rocks, jutting up like the jaws
of a wolf around them.
There was furry of driven
clouds across the gap; there might
have been a storm, and water on
beyond. They crawled toward it.
The wind was bowling through
it as they reached it; whipped up
a black, rain-laden cloud. They
were saved, "Windy-gap-,"

although even then energetic las
sizes always seemed to have extra
aces up their sleeves. But why
any female should harbor a Sacri-
flee Complex in 1887 beats me.
However, practically all of them
particularly the married ones-do.
So deep and intense is this feel
ing, and so widely accepted, that
it binds women together in a
secret offensive alliance-a situa'
ton which the average male
accepts, either because he's too
stupid to analyze, it, too coWardly
to challenge it or so conceited that
he's flattered by this picture OF
himself as Devastating Destroyer.
Actually, marriage in 1887 is
probably much more of a sacrifice
for man than for a woman.
Women are no longer forced to
enter marriage because other
careers are closed to them, or be.

A bachelor enjoys many advan

he did before.
Moreover, marriage is plainly
