BRITISH TRADE PACT
CITED IN WOOL LABELLING
RULES ARGUMENT

Washington, ID. C.-Some wool man.
ufacturers who have been urging wool
labelling rules upon the Federal Trade
Commission point to the British trade
pact in support of their argument.
They say that the National Associa-
tion of Wool Manufacturers, by its
fight against virgin wool differentia-
tion in labelling, has contributed to
the fiction that wool articles of high
quality are produced in the United
States. The State Departments re-
port fixing import rates repeated this
fiction in justification of the blow dealt
the wool textile industry Of the United
States.

WPA Limits Employment
For Workless In Texas

According to press dispatches from
Houston, Texas, suspension of assign
ment of out-of-work persons to WPA
projects in the Houston district, in
cluding twelve counties, has been sus-
pended.
WPA officials stated that the order
does not affect the 6100 iobless work
ers in the Houston area already on the
WPA rolls. 1t does affect, however,
about 670 workless persons who have
applied for WPA assignments.
1t is estimated that shutdown Of
WPA projects in the Houston district
within the next 80 or IS days may
cause layoffs of as many as 1000
workers.
Relief heads pointed. out that there
is no provision. in, their budget for
jobless employables who are defined
as persons able to work if they can

Rich Foods Are Digestlble
It's a good idea not to overdo your
appetite: for cream putfs, pies, and
pastries, but writes the CONSUM-
ERS' GUIDE, publication Of the Con-
sumers' Counsel Division Of the AAA
don't shy away from these foods be-
cause you fear resultant case of in
digestion.
"The rule is not to get too much of
the rich foods and to get the right
quantities of other foods in the diet
such as milk, eggs, meats, and fresh
fruits and vegetables" says the
GUIDE.
"Digestibility of those foods rich in
fats and sugar is a question Of the
completeness Of assimilation. From
that standpoint, fats and sugars are
very digestible. Bureau of Home
Economics experiments showed that
between 95 and SO percent of fats were
digested.
ease of digestibility as dis
tinguished from completeness Of the
process-is another matter. Fats re-
main longer in the digestive tract
slow up the process Of digestion
Moreover, rich foods are usually COM
pact, concentrated foods and take
longer to digest for that reason. But
the average healthy person should
have no worries about this when he
satisfies his sweet TOOTH"

The 3O-year-old, always bothersome.
East-West agreement arises again to
plague the members. BY custom of
long standing the speakership alter
mates between eastern and western
members, and this year it goes to the
east, if the custom prevails. There are
three outstanding candidates: D. L.
Ward, of New Bern, w. E. Fenner of
Rocky Mount and Victor S. Bryant, of
Durham. New Bern and Rocky Mount
are individually in the east. What
about Durham?
Growing out of the deadlock in the
memorable 1903 State Democratic
convention in Charlotte, came the ac-
cepted rule of East-West alienation
in governors, lieutenant governors
and United States senators. At that
time Senator Simmons from the east
was beginning his second term and
was gaining the stranglehold on North
Carolina political affairs which he
held until 1880. Senator Overmar
from the West was concluding his
first term. Dead-locked for days on
the gubernatorial nomination with
Ashley Horne, of Clayton. w. w. Kit
chin, of Halifax, and Locke Craig, of
Asheville, the convention finally nom
mated Kitchin after an agreement a.

mong certain leaders that the 1912
nomination should go to Craig and
the 1916 nomination to Thomas Wal
ter Beckett, whose speech nominating
Horne ranked in eloquence almost
with Bryan's famous Gross of Gold"
grafton. From that time to now the
unwritten rule of east-west alterna
ton has not been violated.
Unquestionably the rule has penaliz-
ed certain aspirations for office who
live on or near the border line be-
tween east and west. Passing over
more ancient history and beginning
with 1886, several instances are found.
In that year the Democratic nom
inee for governor was to come from
the West. There were four candidates,
Clyde r. Hoey, Ralph Mcdonald Of
Winston-Salem, Sandy Graham of
Hillsboro, and John A. McRae Of
Charlotte. The first two and the last
were certainly from the west. Was
Graham?
Under the code the lieutenant gov
ernor that year was to come from the
east There were three candidates: w.
P. Horton of Pittsboro, Paul D. Grady
of Kenly and George Mcneil of Fay
etteville. Grady and Mcneil were
certainly from the East. But was Hor-
ton?
That same year a United States
senator was to be elected. The I'M
written code gave him to the East
Senator j. w. Bailey. of Raleigh, was
a candidate, opposed by Dick Foun-
tain, of Rocky Mount. Congressman
Frank Hancock of Oxford almost en-
tered the primary.
So we had Graham from Hillsboro
running as a western candidate and
Horton, from Fittsboro almost on a
line with Hillsboro, running as an
eastern candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. And we had Hancock from OK
ford threatening to run as an east
erner.
Then came 1888 and another sena-
torial primary. Senator Reynolds Of
Asheville was up for denomination as
| the western senator. He was opposed
in the Democratic primary by The
same Hancock of Oxford, although he
lives several miles further east than
Horton who was elected in 1886 as an
easterner
In the current speakership race
Victor Bryant of Durham is accord
ed by nearly all observers a slight
advantage over the other two candi
dates. He is running as an easterner
Yet he lives several miles further west
than Frank Hancock, who last sum
mer ran for the Senate as a west
erner
There is possibility, then, that the
forthcoming Democratic caucus will
abrogate the east-west rule. Two
courses are open: either to forge
geography entirely and abandon al
sectional alternations or to take the
alterations three-way instead of two
Under the 1908 agreement the dividing
line was roughly the eastern and
western Federal judicial districts
Now that there are three such dis
tricts, if the agreement is to be con
tinued, it seems that controversial:
could be avoided by making alterna
ton three-ways and let the judicia
lines determine the matter
