been no typhus in this country for

ever, do cause disease. The survey

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL
Daily Dispatch Bureau.


Raleigh, June 1.-THE mystery is
so thick you could cut it with a but
ter knife; thicker than gloom in the
anti-New Deal camp after the 1886
general election.
What is the G. 1. A.?
Your correspondent entered exact
ly seven Raleigh establishments Sat-
urday all of which bore on one or
more Of their windows: welcome
B. of L. E. and C. l. A." In two Of
them the hired help knew that B.
of L. F. stands for Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers.
In not one single solitary shop was
anyone located who knew what G.
l. A. represents. The closest approach
to solution was given by coatless
and callow youth in one of the big
5 and 1O-cent stores who said cts
some sort of auxiliary, which ex-
planned the A, but left the C. 1. still
up in the air.
Of course any army man would
say right off that C. T. means Gov
eminent Issue, but that couldn't be
right-Government Issue Auxiliary
dosen't sound half correct.
Give us time, the problem shall be
worked out yet.
