to a circus where he first beheld
the strange and unique camel;
upon this camel's back, he beheld
too many humps and mountains.
He could see before his very eyes
the center hump, or exact center
of the camel, but being one of
those who are so blind and would
not see, he says, There amt no

PERPIGNAN, Franco Spanish

military authorities last night
spiked a l00-mile strip Of the
frontier with a Gordon of troops
and machine.gun placements as
the Spanish insurgents carried
their war to within rifle-shot Of
French soil.
General Lucien Goudot, COM
mander of the 18th military dis
trict, ordered immediate tighten
ing of border patrols from Cav
arnie eastward beyond the tiny
republic of Andorra to head off
an estimated 10000 loyalist
troops being driven into a big In
surgent trap.
The strong but detached loyal
list militiamen appeared to be
hopelessly cut off, with the snowy
passes of the Pyrenees as their
only escape, as the insurgents
drove a strong barrier flush along
the western boundary Of Andorra

WASHINGTON, April l6. CUP.
Chairman John ]. O'Connor Of
the house rules committee, today
sent dispatch to committee men,
bers urging them to send the lat;
est version of the wage and hour
bill to the house floor for consid-
Grafton. The new bill has been
reported favorably by the house
labor committee but must have
the rules committees approval
before it can be taken up by the
house, unless brought up by petit
ton. .
President Roosevelt has re.
quested that the wage and hour
law be enacted at this session.
81 am anxious to call q meet
ing of the rules committee at the
first possible moment to consider
rule to bring this bill before the
house." O'Connor wrote commit"
tee members.
Administration leaders last
night had sung a private requiem
over the new compromise wage
hour bill even while boldly pro-
claiming It will pass.
TO pass It must get by the same
southern Democrat Republican
phalanx which consigned the or"
iginal bill to the legislative ash
can. Mrs. Mary Norton, house
labor committee chairman, says
this can be done but a poll of
sentiment shows otherwise and
the southerners proved it yester-
day.
They arose in an Infatuated
body when they learned the bill
included no protective differen-
tials for Dixie industries, and with
the battlecry, "No Measure Shall
Pass" began tightening their lines
for a floor fight.

of about 100000 annually.

time here during the summer
months and his wife is the oper'
ator of Camp Carlyle for Girls,
located on the Chimney Rock
road. He said today that Western
North Carolina was one of the
finest sections in the nation fol
growing truck crops.

secured from representatives OF
the packing company and may be
paid for at harvest time. Repre-
sentatives will be at Turner's
store, Edneyville, the B and =
Feed store, Brevard, and D. t.
Hart company, Hendersonville,

Municipal Farley Here Backs Plan
For More Cities Legislative Power
Specific Law Not Proposed
But More Flexible Au-
thority Is Goal

The proposal that much of the
local legislation, now enacted by
the general assembly, be left up
to the cities and towns of the
state through duly elected repre-
sentatives was made here yester-
day afternoon at the meeting OF
region five of the North Carolina
League of Municipalities, and was
given considerable discussion by
about 35 representatives of mu-
inequalities in the region.
Stating that a commission had
been appointed by Governor Clyde
r. Hoey to look into the matter,
Charles NJ. Johnson, state treas
urer, declared that his idet on
the subject was that the assembly
should enact a general statute
which would give the muntipali-
ties the power to legislate On most
local problems through elected
aldermen or commissioners
Endorsing the PROPOSE, City
Manager Pat Burdette, ct Ashe-
vile, was of the opinion that it
would be a good idea for much
local legislation to be left to cit
les.
T. w. Raoul, town clerk of Bilt-
more Forest, also endorsed the
proposal. He stated that in many
cases legislators were elected
from rural districts and were not
familiar with the problems OF the
cities. In Raleigh, he said, none OF
the representatives is interested
in local legislation, and what IT
amounts to is the enactment OF
legislation by one representative
