DRIVE
FOR ROAD SAFETY
u. S. Bureau of Public
Roads Sponsors Nation
wide Campaign

Charlotte, Jan. ga five-point
program calling for Federal action re-
ducing traffic accidents and deaths
has been developed by the U. S. Blu
reau of Public Roads,. according to
Coleman w. Roberts, president of the
Carolina Motor club on receipt of re-
ports from American Automobile as
ISOLATION headquarters at washington.
The bureaus program recommends
l. That appropriate steps be taken
to effect greater uniformity of motor
vehicle and traffic laws, especially in
essential details. Diverse traffic regu-
lations make the driver who has form
ed his driving habits in one locality a
frequent though involuntary lawbreak
er when he leaves his own community.
2. That uniform minimum standards
he developed for methods of obtain
ing facts regarding the occurrence of
accidents and the attendant circum-
stances, and for methods of analysis
that will more exactly recognize and
interpret the facts.
3. That a careful study be made of
inspectional services as a means of
assuring safe condition of cars in
operation. Since many drivers do not
know the limitations of their vehicles
or of their own sensory reactions, it
is of paramount Importance that
brakes and lights, at least, be kept in
first class condition.
4. That studies be made to deter
mine whether and to what extent
highway patrol organizations may be
expanded to advantage.
5. That further continued research

HENDERSON COUNTY
WILL GET NURSERY
Seedlings To Be Grown on Reserva-
| ton Planned Near Brevard,
| Forester Holmes Says
Ibhil$ Dispatch Bureau.
Al the Sir Waiter hNtet.


Raleigh, Jan. 21-HenderSOn county
will get a new State forest nursery,
established for the purpose of grow
ing hardwood seedlings and other
trees which need higher attitudes fol
their growth.
The nursery will cover about 65
acres and will he established near
Drevard, State Forester J. S. Holmes,
IF the Department of Conservation
I'd Development, said
The State will acquire title to this
land as soon as the approval of an at
rorney from the office of the attOr-
ney general is secured.
Much of the work of establishing
the nursery will be done by c. c. c. en-
rolees from the camp near Brevard,
which is close enough to the nursery
= site to make this easy, Mr.. Holmes
said.
4 In the opinion of the State forester
it is important that North Carolina
enlarge it's forest nurseries in order to
meet the heavy increase in demand
.or seedlings and forest planting stock
plans are being made to double the
output of the state nursery near Clay
ton so that it will produce between
100000 and 100000 seedlings next
fall as compared with this years pro-
Ion OF ;,i...cst 100000 trees.
Growing demand for seedlings for
eforestation purposes has been
rought about largely by increase in
re pulp wood industry and it is anti
rated that it will be even heavier in
next five or ten years.
eed has already been gathered
IN which TO start the BrevArd nur-
as soon as the land has been
lily secured and the bed prepared
planting. It is thought that the
sery will begin to produce trans
2ntable seedlings within two years.

if there's "a woman involved and re-
ceives- attention out of all proportion
to it's Importance. Mata Hara, usual
ly cited as the greatest of women
spies, was simply dancer who col
lected men and their money, and
found that men on espionage missions
usually had more money to spend
than others. When one man who had
had spent a lot of money on her was
caught at it, denouncing her as a spy
he had trapped was an easy way to
save his neck.
There are fantastic legends of great
women spies in the American WAR
Between the States. Some of these
surround Rebecca Mcpherson Wright,
who was born 100 year sage today at
Winchester, Va. Her Quaker family
was one of the few of Union, senti-s
mentl that remained in Virginia in
! 1884 Her father had died in Col-
federate prison early in the war
knowing this, Gen. Philip Sheridan
shrewdly sent her note in Sept. 1864,
| wrapped in tinfoil and carried in the
month of a negro messenger: Can
| you inform me of the position of
| Early's forces, the number of divisions
1 in his army, and the strength of all
or any of them, and his probable or
reported intentions?"
] Having learned the position of the
Confederate army from lonely con-
| federate officer who had visited he.
two nights previously, Rebecca sent
| a reply describing it and the number
of troops Upon this information Sher
idan based his decisive attack on Win
chester. 1gsA#g$
SO far as anybody knows, this was
the sum total of Rebecca Wright's ser
vices as "spy'. In postwar accounts,
her adventures were elaborated, she
was hailed as a heroine, and she was
given a government clerkship-one of
the first women to go on the federal
payroll.

troops were in sole occupancy of a
front line sector on the western front.
The position and identity of the units
involved were not divulged to the
American public, although both were
known to the enemy. The men were
of the First Division, and they were
located near Tours. AEF regiments
had actually been in trenches since
October, but until January had been
brigaded there with French regiments
for training.
Thus approximately 10 months had
