In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Nv j. G.. BASKERVILLE

Raleigh June ga service sta
ton built to cater especially to motor
trucks, with 700 feet of parking space
and providing free shower baths, free
beds and free coffee and ice water for
truck drivers, has just been complet-
ed on U. S. Highway No. l, just north
of Henderson, it was learned here to-
day from W. z. Bush, of Henderson
and Raleigh, who with r. j. Corbitt,
of Henderson, built the new station.
If this experiment proves successful,
it is expected to pave the way for an
entirely new type of service station
in North Carolina and other states.
it is pointed out
'While service stations all over
the State have been going after the
business Of the truck lines, very few
have been equipped to give the truck
companies and their drivers the type
of service they needed" Bush said
80 we decided to build new type of
service station that would meet those
needs, with adequate bathing and rest
room facilities for the drivers, also
clean and modern lunchroom that
would serve good meals at reasonable
prices"
In addition to the facilities for ser
vicing all sizes and makes of motor
trucks, the new service station, with g
building 100 by 100 feet, has a mod
ern lunch room for both white and
colored drivers, which serves ham
and egg breakfast for rs cents and
other meals for 35 cents. It is open
day and night. Coffee and ice water
are provided for truck drivers with
out any charge.
In addition to these facilities, {
reading and recreation room is pro
vided for truck drivers, also dormi
tories with 20 free beds, IA for white
drivers and six for colored drivers
where they may stop for a few hours
of rest or stay all night, Bush said
Two shower baths are also provided
for the white drivers and one shower

BIRD HOUSE GIVEN
MEMBERS OF CLUB
Field Trip Planned Tomor-
row To Make Studies of
Birds Here

Each member present at the
monthly meeting of the Henderson
Bird Club Monday evening was pre-
sented an attractive little birdhouse
by James p. B. Connell, president OF
the club. Each was designed espe-
cially for the use of wrens The meet
ing was held in the Parish House of
Holy Innocents Episcopal church in
stead of at the Perry library, because
of a conflict there, where future meet
ings are scheduled to be held
Mr.. Council presided at the meet
ing and Mrs. c. V. Singleton acted as
secretary in the absence of the re-
gular secretary.
Mr.. Connell had on display two
sparrow hawks which the janitor OF
the Episcopal church had taken alive
from a chimney at the home of the
rector, Rev. I. w. Hughes, adjoining
the church.
The president announced a field
trip for members to be conducted to-
morrow afternoon by Harry Ander-
son, and club members will meet in
front of the county home at 4:3C
o'clock for the start. Two invitations
were also received by the members
one from Mrs. Charlotte Hilton Green
well-known authority and author on
bird lore, to visit her home, Bird
haven, in Raleigh some afternoon
when convenient. The other invitation
was from Mr. Cornell, who asked the
members to visit with him his fathers
home in Warren county. Both invita-
tons were accepted and plans made
for the trips.
1t was stated that just before the
hour of meeting Monday afternoon
several members of the club were call
ed by telephone and asked to use
their influence to stop the killing of
birds by several small boys. just out
side the city limits near West End
school. 1t was stated that a wounded
moclkingbird had been found and that
a rare scarlet tanager, as well as a
bluebird had been killed. Mr.. Connell
stated there are Federal and State
laws against the destruction of these
birds, and that the penalty is a fine
of $50. The club members unanimous
ly expressed disapproval of the shoot
ing of the birds by small toys wheth-
or by guns or slingshots and agreed
to report any such violations to the
proper authorities. The club also went
on record in favor of having the game
warden investigate the cases.
The program at the meeting con-
sisted of a round table discussion of
birds identified since the last meeting,
and also some preliminary plans for
a bird sanctuary in or near the city.

January Omens.

January may tell an important story
to America.
For some five months past the Nation
has been in an economic tailspin, the
speed and severity of which have gravely
disturbed government, labor and busi-
ness itself
Traditionally, January is the month
when there are distinct portents of what
is to come in important manufacturing
lines. Emphasis in the preceding month
has been on the retail trades as Christ
mas buying gives impetus to the moving
Of consumer goods Manufacturing nor
mally experiences its dullest month as
the year ends
But II q spring upturn is to develop
sumciently to stand up against the Gus
tomary summer lag, it must make itself
evident In January. Textiles, for in
stance, reflect the anticipated spring
demand; automobile production usually
runs at average or slightly better than
the years average. Steel ordinarily
picks up somewhat more slowly, but
should give 1898 forecast by the end of
the first month.
AS December draws near a close, all
OF these lines are sharply below their
1887 production and likewise below their
hypothetical levels of normality.
One encouraging sign already has been
noted In several lines of trade, namely,
depletion Of inventories, which should
result in new production orders within
few weeks. Such a development, if it
extends far enough, would aid employ
ment in the production industries and
consumers.

Buster.

The name of Buster, a hundred
and-twenty- pound st. Bernard puppy
whose home is in camp ninety-three
miles from Geraldton, Ontario, should
be added to the list of famous dogs. He
will be remembered because of his part
in an heroic adventure currently reported
by the Canadian Press-another example
of the strength and power of the bond
which relates human and canine society.
Buster romped too near the edge of 4
precipice. Rube Broderick, his master
discovered him on ledge two hundred
feet above Long Lake, perilously caught
on the face of cliff assailed by bitter
winds snow-laden. The poor creatures
barking and whining could be heard
above the wintry blast and his shivertng
form could be seen, but it was nearly
week before he could be rescued. Mean
while, food was lowered to him by the
friends who tirelessly labored to devise
ways and means to retrieve him from
the narrow shelf of rock on which he
Was trapped. His owner, Dr. John Green,
William Coils and Art Thompson risked
their lives not once, but repeatedly, in his
behalf. Finally, after six days, solu-
ton for the problem was invented in the
form of rope knotted at five-foot inter-
walls. to which the four men clung in
hazard of death and passed the exhausted
animal from arm to arm to the top.
A pragmatist might wonder If ths
victory was worth the effort. In world

The Man Who Lost the War.

Epitomizing the reasons why Ger
many lost the World War, somebody
with gift for epigram said that her
general staff was ready for everything
but the unexpected and prepared for
anything except the inevitable" AS
Hindenburgs chief of staff and quarter
master general, history will give Erich
Ludendorf principal blame for the COM
plex of failures that finally precipitated
the Reichs collapse, but that verdict
will not fail also to accord him credit
for the prodigious and almost successful
resistance which the Kaiser's armies for
four incredible years put up against
literally world of enemies.
Sheer preponderance of brute force,
human and mechanical, that moloch of
military might before which Ludendorff
necessarily burned incense, was doomed
to crush his hopes of victory from the
moment America was able to fling her
illimitable fresh man power into the
crucible of war on the western front.
But until the spring of 1918 triumph
seemed to beckon irresistibly to the
German legions which had successfully
subdued Russia, overwhelmed Italy, oc-
cupied Belgium, Rumania, Serbia and
Eastern France. and, in Sir Douglas
Haig's agonized words, had the British
Army fighting with its back to the wall
To Hindenburg fell the nominal laurels
for the smashing blows which toward the
end seemed to make allied defeat a mere
matter of weeks.
But the real organizer of victory was
the old field marshals younger, more
brilliant subordinate. who from Tannen-
berg on, became the acknowledged tao
tical and strategic genius behind Ger
many's far-flung drive. Unquestionably
Ludendorff will rank among famous gen.
erals of all time, though Nazi eulogies,
which link him with Julius Caesar, Fred
erick the Great and Napoleon, are hyper
bolic. Frank H. Simonds did Ludendorff
full justice when that master American
student of military science wrote: "He
must go down not merely as the man
who lost the war for the Central powers,
but the soldier who came within hairs
breadth of winning it."
Those enviable laurels will enshrine
Ludendorffs name even though his clos
ing years were squandered in pursuit OF
the alterations of neo-paganism, anti
semitism and blind anti-Christian
Wotsn idolatry. Nazidom, worshipping
the same Goddess ideals, appropriately
sounds heros taps over his grave
today.

| been believed necessary and the laws OF
the Nation now acknowledge this
principle.
Within the labor movement, among
leaders and rank and file, there has long
existed deep difference Of opinion as
to whether such organization might
more effectively be established on indus
trial or craft nnes-whether workers of
an entire industry should join single
union or separate unions, depending
upon their occupations.
On this difference the labor movement
split some two years ago. The industrial
union group, headed by John L. Lewis.
brought unionization to STEEL automo-
biles and others Of the Nations great
industries where organization had been
virtually unknown. At the same time
the craft union group remaining with
William Green increased its member
ship, strengthened its own position To-
gether they represented record enroll
ment in the organized labor movement
in America.
AS their organizing efforts penetrated
new industries, their direct rivalry in
creased and it was in these increasingly
frequent conflicts that the quality OF
selflshness became apparent. In no in
stance did they agree nor allow 1t to
be determined that one or the other
was advocating the doctrine which would
do the workers of that particular in
dustry the most good. Instead they
fought bitterly and in ways that were
costly to industry. to the public and to
the very workers for whom they pre-
sumably were concerned.
Today they stand apparently COM
mitted to an indefinite continuance Of
this internecine warfare. Perhaps. in
the long rum it will be best If this fight
for leadership results in survival Of the
fittest only.

where war and revolution, poverty and
crime cost thousands of human lives
each year it may seem to the fanatic
realist that dogs existence il inconse-
quential. But Mr.. Broderick did not have
leisure to debate the question. All that
mattered to him was that Buster was in
trouble and needed help. Uncounted
centuries of association between the lords
of creation and the canine species fur
nished him with whatever inspiration he
required. The good name of humanity
was at stake, and Busters rescuers did
not discredit 1t. A numerous company
of strangers, reading the newspaper ac-
counts Of the incident, are grateful.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES +. TRACEWELL.

You call the Fire Department and
estimate sixty feet.
I'VE haven't any ladder that high"
says voice. why don't you call the
police and let them send an ofiicer to
shoot it DOWN."
You dismiss this AZ q very poor at
tempt at Joke and go back to the tree.
Poor kitty" you announce, for the
ninety-tnird time.
Meow" says poor kitty, in her most
plaintive tone.
Scientifically, and with the aid Of
higher mathematics, you compute the
distance.
What to your heated Imagination
seemed at least sixty feet turns out to be,
by the pure light of science, not more
than thirty feet at most.
Thirty feet, however, is pretty high
The cat is crouched on limb, the first
one on the mastlike trunk, where she
had been chased by three dogs the
evening before.
1t must be cold up there in the wind
and ALL
Would 1t be possible to throw q rope
over that limb, or get ladder?
You decide instantly against the lad
der.
Thirty feet-a-hem.
So
You were never much at climbing any
way, whereas once you could twirl a
lasso with the best of them.
You give a heave on long rope and,
sure enough, after almost frightening
poor kitty out Of the tree, you succeed
in getting it over the limb.
Now we'll have Minouche down in no
time" you cry, triumphantly, but you
should have known better.
+
"She must be hungry" you declare
Where is piece Of beef?a
You order a great market basket, tie
1t to the rope, put the meat in the
basket and start the car on its way up
Minouche cranes her neck at the
basket, sniffs the meat, but will not
bulge.
Mice kitty, nice kitty" you plead.
Minouche meows her thanks, but re-
fuses to step in.
Down comes the basket
You still have an ace up your sleeve
This ace is none other than Minouche's
surviving kitten, now two months old.
Mother love will turn the trick" you
say, with supreme confidence in both
mother love and your own sagacity.
Up goes the basket
The kitten, amazed at the great world
huddles down, squeaks Justify as she sees
her mother at last.
Minouche shows seemly interest
but she will not step in.
Nothing can make her get in.
Down comes the kitten, up goes the
basket empty.
At once and Immediately Minouche
gets in.
Down she comes, very slowly, because
the basket wobbles, threatening to pre-
cipitate the cat to earth.
1t is very exciting, really.
Meow cries Minouche, starting to
purr for the first time in hours.

Labor at War.

Somewhere in the circle of its leader
Ship, organized labor has been betrayed
by quality all too human-the quality
Of selhshness.
Fundamentally, there is 10 other ex-
PLANTATION for the failure of efforts to
effect reconciliation between the A. F.
Of l.. and the C. I. o.
Presumably, the leaders of labor are
working toward common purpose;
namely, higher wages, shorter hours and
better working conditions for their fol-
lowers. To achieve such objectives, or
ganization and collective action have
