The Oldest Hunt is the Pied
mont. It's correct name: Piedmont
Fox Hounds. It was established in
1840 and is antecedently identi-
fled with the Dulany family of
Virginia.
Colonel Richard H. Dulany
maintained a private pack which
hunted what is now the Piedmont
country some 20 years before the
War Between States. His son,
Richard Hunter Dulany, of Graf
ton Hall, took up where his father
left off and for 40 years prepared
the way for the modern Piedmont
pack. After him came Joseph B.

80 Series
BY GARRETT WATERS

0X WkA0EAG i VIVA &39W
A particular question had been
settled in part today for followers
of the interhigh basketball series,
which opened yesterday at the
Tech gymnasium.
It is the fact the Central High
five has a little something on the
bal-that something which has
been lacking in the teams make
up in the past.
The Mt. PleaSanters had both q
mental and physical task on their
hands yesterday in meeting East
ern, 1896 champions. But the
boys went to work and were re-
warded with q well deserved 2S-
toll triumph.
The game, bringing the return
of the popular doubleheader SyS-
tenn to the series, was an interest
\ ing opener which was climaxed by
the triumph of the heavily rated
Western High five over woodrow
Wilson, "a to IL, in the nightcap.
This latter contest marked Wood
row Wilson'S debut In competitive
league play.
Spectators looked to Sam Fox,
big center, and Billy Vermillion,
stocky guard, to lead Central over
any rough spots it might encoun-
ter against Eastern.
But o youngster by the name Of
Charlie Clark bobbed into the spot
light by leading his team single
handed to the first series victory
over an Eastern five in 23 starts.
Clark'S best work occurred in
the fourth quarter when Central
held only 10 to IA advantage.
After Cotton, Of Eastern, had
made 1t 19 to Is with q foul toss,
Clark let loose by scoring three
baskets and two fouls to definitely
turn the tide Central's way. AL
together he totaled IL points, his
other two baskets coming in the
first half.
Eastern was not the same team
as Of other years. This was
to be expected what with the
Deans, the ShanerS, the HollidgeS,
the Schedules and the Buchholz'S
gone.
Nevertheless it must be said In
their favor, the lineup demon
Strated real promise-the sort that
is liable to prove troublesome be.
fore the series is very far spent,
Lee LuSby, little forward, was one
standout player while Carroll Col.
ton will be heard from in later
games,
Led by this pair, Eastern made
a real game Of it for three quar-.
ters. In fact, q basket here or
there would have sent the entire
team on its way. But instead,
Central was favored with the
breaks when Clsrk'S play broke
the tension.
The Western woodrow Wilson
clash was pure routine. Western
felt out the Wilson's for one quar-
ter, then went to work and piled
UP enough margin to coast in.
Gerald Burns, with 8 points, led
the scoring while George Dewitt
and Hugo Schulz played topnotch
floor games.
George Flather, forward, was
best for Woodrow Wilson. AS
soon as Coach Heintell has had
time to give all his men a chance
under fire, the team will look bet
ter and offer more opposition.

in 1884.

One hot July day in 1884 two men,
bers of an expedition headed by Sir
Walter Raleigh we're landed on the
North Carolina shore They crossed
the sandy beach, headed inland and
found a forest of great pine trees,
strange to them in character.
Their discovery marked the be-
ginning of an American naval stores
industry which today has a produc-
ton value of $40, 1000 900. employs 50,-
900 workers and pays more than SIS
100000 in wages annually. The well
fare OF 350,000 people depends di-
rectly upon the naval stores indus
try.
The story of the growth OF this in
dustry was told yesterday by Harry
r. Daniel of the Commerce De-
partment in his weekly Saturday aft
ernoon broadcast on American in
dustries.
The United States now produces
more than half of the worlds naval
stores, and more than half of this
production is marketed abroad. Tur-
pentine, constituting one Of the most
important of the naval stores prod
ucts, is used in the paint and var
nish industries, which consume about
80 per cent of the output; in the
manufacture of shoe polish, shatter-
proof glass, synthetic camphor and
insecticides. Rosin goes into manu-
facture of soap, paper sizing, greases,
printing ink and linoleum, Daniel
said.

Changes for Week

NEW YORK, July 24.-Commodit
prices fell heavily this week: wide
declines in grains more than off,
setting advances in live stock, food and
industrial staples.
Commodity men added a substantial
margin to harvest estimates, as wealth
er continued favorable over most of
the farm belt. This led buyers to
withdraw from the market and forced
sellers to make big concessions.
Spot quotations were drastically
reduced: Corn lost Q per cent Of its
quoted value, wheat per cent, cotton
per cent and oats almost 80 per cent.
Rye also sold of. Agricultural staples,
excluding live stock, fell to q new low
for the year
On the other hand. comparatively
limited supplies and strong consumer
demand sent other staples kiting.

Hides. bituminous coal and anti

while tin rubber and turpentine
slipped fractionally.
The upturn in hides stemmed from
the same factors boosting live stock.
Heavy shipments earlier this year cut
a big chunk from available supplies
and foreshadowed lighter shipments
later on.
Hogs, cattle and lambs were all
buoyant as buyers sought to cover

tinued to exert depressing effect on
