way and Plenty Bas-
ket Shots

Coach Bob Harrison scrambled his
Henderson high school girls basket
ball team here last night against Ay
to 13 victory over Aycock, but the
Aycock boys took the Blose boys
into camp to the tune of p to Is.
Coach Bob let his reserves play
most of the contest, using his regu-
lars sparingly. With a comfortable
margin, the mentor reversed the US
ual playing positions of his first
stringers, putting his guards to for
wards, and forwards to guards, Civ
ing those players a taste Of things
from the other side of the court. Miss
Charlotte Knight proved herself just
as capable at forward as at guard,
bagging seven points during her stay
in the contest. Miss Mary Florence
Houghtaling would make good
guard on anyoody's team. She was
all over the floor, literally some
times, and was a nlainstay on de-
Tense.
Miss Hazel Finch who played much
of the game, sometimes at guard and
others at forward, was high scorer,
with Is points. Miss Stevenson top
ped the visitors with ten points, while
Miss Murphy came in second with 8
points for Aycock
The boys were without the services
of their captain and high scorer,
Dick Galloway last night, and some
of the others were off in their play

Bill Would Clip
Powers of Mr.. Hood

treasurer will be ex-officio chairman,
and the attorney general and ex-offi-
clio member. Five other members
are to be appointed by the governor
for four-year terms, four of whom
must be practical bankers and one
business man not directly associated
with administration of any bank.
The act will become effective April
of this year, if it goes through &C
cording to plan. Until that date the
present commissioner and his advis-
Dry board will carry on as they have
in the past. Under the present law,
the commissioner is virtually a die
tator, the advisory commission hav-
ing no authority other than by sug-
gestion. The new bill lodges in the
commission, rather than in the COM
missioner, the policy-making power
and makes the commissioner only the
executive agent to put these policies
into effect.
The treasurer and attorney general
will receive no additional compensa-
ton for they services, and other
members will he paid on the same
diem basis as members of the budget
commission. They must meet as oft
en- as once in each quarter and may
be called into session at any time by
the chairman
The bank commission was set UP
under Governor Gardner in 1881, and
Commissioner Hood was appointed
commissioner. During the depression
bank debacle early in 1888, the law
was amended to conform with sug-
gestions from Washington, and the
commissioner Of banks was given al
most dictatorial powers. In both the
1925 and 1887 legislature some effort
was made to change the law again,
the main grievance being that Com
missioner Hood was believed to be
playing favorites in selecting attor-
neys for the multiplicity of bank liqui
dations. 1t has been stated publicly
that the legal firm headed by Ken
meth Royal of Goidsboro was paid
more than a quarter million dollars
for services in connection with de-
funct banks over a period of two and
half years.
Trouble was that in the '35 and '37
legislatures there were a great many
members who had been, were then,
or devoutiy hoped to be, given some
lucrative cases to hand that they
declined to do anything that might
offend the dispenser of the legal
plums.
There is in the current legislation
no such marked desire to break up
the Hood regime. Rather, the pro-
posed bill is an expression of the be-
lief that emergency" days in North
Carolina banking are past, and that a
more stable and permanent bank
regulation program is called for. The
proposed new banking commission
bill be expected to fill this demand.
This legislation is in line with SEN
timent, noticeable since the 1889 leg
islature convened, that it is not a
good thing to give to any one man,
however able or virtuous he may ap-
pear to he, too much authority.

House Stands
By Devotion
To Local Unit
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
BY HENRY AVFRILL.

Raleigh, Feb. 25.-In a legislative
body with 1l3 Democrats and a scant
seven Republicans, it would be ex-
pecting the impossible to look for the
minority to win any scrap involving
a uestion Of party principle; and so

measure aimed at his county by Jack

termed a Republican victory.
AS a matter Of fact it proved two
things: First, Democrats Of the House
are still devoted to the principle of
local self-government, and, second
that they still cling to the traditional
principle that every member should
be allowed his own way i'm handling

great many cases of sore throat with
: reddish eruption on the body. AS
soon as my friend had seen few of
the cases he took the doctor aside
and said, doctor, you have an cpl
demic of scarlet fever"
Has Been Rare
Scarlet fever has been 80 rare
within the last ten years that great
many people have grown to maturity
without being exposed to it. This
does not mean, however, that they
are immune. Quite on the contrary,
they are as liable to get it as small
child who has never been exposed.
They may catch the disease in mild
form and feel well enough to walk
around, and by this means they in
dubitably will infect a certain num-
Der Of the people they meet.
The streptococcic milk-borne sore
throat does, indeed, look great deal
like scarlet fever. Adults for some
reason are more likely to get strep-
tococcic sore throat than children.
In an epidemic reported in Iowa last
year there were 1876 adults affected
and go children. The symptoms oc-
cur about three days following the
drinking of milk or cseam contain
ing an injecting streptococcus. The
onset, particularly in adults, is sud-
zen. There is diarrhea, vomiting,
chills and backache of short dura-
ton. These last about one day. The
sore throat is more extreme than
scarlet fever and in adults swallow
ing is almost impossible. Saliva ard
other secretions drool from the
corners of the mouth. About four
days after the initial symptoms
there is q rash all over the body;

broken or crushed his leg or arm.
Washington, like Lincoln, never
dreamed or an anaesthetic to deaden
pain during a surgical operation.
Washington, like Lincoln, never
heard of anybody's fever. There was
no thermometer to take a persons
temperature either in the time of
Washington or Lincoln.
Strong, Vigorous
George Washington was a strong
and vigorous man all his life and
had little need for doctors. Since he
lived before the days of vaccination
against smallpox, it is not surpris-
ing that he had this disease.
His fatal illness was of only 48
hours duration, and the physicians
who attended him have been severe
ly criticised for the management of
the case. This is probably unjust as
they treated him according so the
best standards of that day, but it is
interesting to speculate on the i'm
provement which modern methods
Of medicine would have made in the
outcome of his disease.
The record which has come down
to us in great detail shows that on

Scarlet Fever Also
Often Overlooked

reddish. more intense on the back
and the abdomen, gradually cover
ing. in most cases, the entire skin.
Much Like 1t
Scarlet fever is so much like this
that it is quite impossible to differ
entiate the conditions by appearance
alone. Scarlet fever starts sudden
ly, usually with vomiting, followed
by sore throat and general rasa
over the body.
The special way to differeNtiate,
which should be required in all sus-
picious cases nowadays, is what is
called the Dick test. This consists
Of injecting a minute amount OF
scarlet fever toxine into the skin. 1t
the red skin blanches around the
area of injection, it can be said
quite definitely that it is scarlet
fever.
Treatment and, especially, quar-
antine in the two conditions are
quite different. A patient with scar
let fever should properly be quaran-
tined for six weeks because the con-
tagion is liable to be spread for that
period of time. In no other disease,
except mumps, is so long period of
quarantine required. In streptococ-
cic sore throat no quarantine what
ever is ro"N~~"rv.
In the .4.-.-..ent for scarlet fever
convalescent serum-in other words,
blood serum from a patient who has
recently recovered from scarlet
fever-is probably our best treat
ment. In streptococcic sore throat
the use of the new drug, sulfanila-
mide, is advocated.
