Power System
Is For Sale
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Waiter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 15-Any one or any
group in the market for an electric
power and gas system, with trolley
car and bus lines as an adjunct can
buy the Tide Water Power company
"as and when satisfactory prices and
exchanges can be arranged
Willingness of the Associated Gas
and Electric Company, Of which the
Tide Water is a subsidiary, to part
with the New Hanover and vicinity
system, as we'll as of all its other
southern group of properties has been
revealed in the annual report OF j.
l. Mango, president, to the company's S
stockholders.
This report, according to the Au-
gust 5 news issue of Electric World
national power publication, informed
stockholders that Associated has in
formed the Securities and Exchange
Commission that it is the policy OF
the company to dispose OF its So
called southern group OF properties
as and when satisfactory prices and
terms can be arranged.
Sale of the properties would be
further compliance with provisions
of the utility act by integrating the
Associated properties into closely
knit geographic system
So far as can be learned, there is
no definite proposition for sale OF the
Tide Water under consideration, al
though there have been repeated sug-
gestions that it should be consolidat-
ed with the Carolina Power and
Light Company.
Operating independently, the Tide
Waters rates have been consistent
1y much higher than those Of the
States two largest systems, the Car
olina and the Duke, and it is violat-
ing no condolences to say that the
Carolina probably would be COM
pletely unenthusiastic about taking
over the Tide Water There is no 9TH
er prospective purchaser on the
horizon, so far as is known.

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In fire Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Aug 15.-When the North
Carolina Federation of Labor gets
round to electing its officers for next
year, it seems that there will be only
one internal row Of any proportions,
and maybe that will have been set
tied by the time the votes are cast
Wednesday afternoon.
The one contest is for the office
of secretary treasurer, a post now
held by H. c. Fisher, of Salisbury.
He is standing for reelection, and is
being opposed by two fellow towns
men, F. M. Cuddihy, a member Of
the Brotherhood Of Railway Carmen,
and A. N. Ramsey, moving picture
operator unionist.
Surface indications are that Fisher
will be retained in office, though an
upset is not at all impossible.
But while the federation is lacking
in political battles within its own
ranks, delegates to its convention are
being literally besieged, even badger
ed, by supporters of the numerous
would be governors of North Caro-
lima.
In almost every corner some one
may be spied trying to convince a
federationist that the candidate re-
presented by the button-holer is a
real friend of the Working man, and
in particular a friend of the fedora
ton.
1t is considered almost certain,
however, that there will be no Of
ficial endorsement of any candidate
whatsoever by this convention. Five
OF the "prominently-ment GU
bernatorial candidates were invited
to speak to the convention, but it is
unlikely that anything even border
ing on an outright endorsement for
any candidate will be given. The
matter of picking a gubernatorial
horse" for Labor to back will prob
ably be left to the federation's exc
cutive committee to attempt at fu-
ture date

LIKE A CAT IN THE DARK

AsAAE "A CAI AN Ik1E UAMM
 gro take out the car after dark" remarks a Connecticut Yankee. used to be torture to me because, unable to see more, than a few feet ahead I had to creep along at snail,s. pace and at the approach Of another car was so blinded by the headlights that often I had to stop altogether, making myself nui- sance on the road.
 "One evening I was compelled to take the old bus out. To my sur- prise I discovered could see and drive as well as any one else. Curiosity made me try it again the next night, with the same result, and I have had no dificulty with night driving since. I wondered what brought about the change, until I came across an article of yours, telling of some doctor feeding Newfoundland fishermen a spoon full or two of cod liver oil and so enabling the men to resume their fishing at night. Then I realized that vitamin A had done it-I had been taking two vitamin A cap- sules a day for several days, 50,O00 units a day, for another purpose. Several friends to whom I told of my experience have tried 1t and they have had the same gratifying results. It should be great boon to all who have such dread of night driving.
 vitamin A is the one I have gen. erally designated the apocryphal vitamin. You can't prove by me even now that there is any serious shortage of vitamin A in any or-, dinary diet in this country. It seems to me that the only vitamins most people need concern them selves about at all, for healthS sake, are vitamin B-complex (which includes a dozen entities such as B-1 (thiamin), B-2 (ribo- flavin or CD, nicotinic acid, etc.) and sunshine vitamin D. Young in. fants and some invalids on re- stricted diet need supplementary rations of vitamin c. As for vita- min A, yitamin E, and other ale legged vitamins net so clearly de- fined, you may leave them. entirely in the hands of your physician.
 On request, if you inclose a stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, will send you a monograph on V (eye) tamin A. If you essay the role of guinea pig for your own experimental Investigations I hope you will give us report of your results.

 o. May egg yolks be used in recipes that call for 8 whole egg?
 A. Two yolks are equal to one whole egg as leavener for most baking purposes. A little extra bak- ing powder should be used, because yolks have less leavening than egg whites.
 o. What materials are best for window boxes and what kind of soil should be used?
 A. Metal or wooden boxes are preferred to concrete or terra cotta because they are lighter and easier to fasten to the window sill. Metal boxes, however, may get too hot in summer and dry out the soil wooden boxes are cooler, they are light, easy to fasten, and readily available. Be sure to put many drainage holes in the box, other wise heavy rains may ruin the plants. The soil should consist oi about three-fourths good garden soil and one-fourth leaf mold, peat or well-rotted manure. All super phosphate at the rate of one cup for each bushel of soil.

 NEW WAY TO USE
 A MEDICINE BALL
 If you have medicine ball, try this one:
 Stand back to back with another exercise addict, and start with the ball on the ground. Bend over, hold the ball near the ground and swing your arms to the right, passing the ball to her, hereafter referred to as Miss B.
 Miss B. will swing the ball low to her right, passing 1t around tc your left side. Continue the swing ing motion with out-stretched arms in horizontal circles rising spirally around both bodies until the ball is as high as your outstretched arms will allow. Return downward in the same way.
 1 For number three, stand back to back again, lifting arms and clasp ing hands. Bend forward, streach- ing B's arms and drawing her backward over your bent body. Come back to erect position and then !, bend backward yourself as B. bends forward. Reverse and repeat five times. This see-saw bending exercise gives an excellent stretch to the body and helps expand the chest However, be sure to stretch gently, slowly and rhythmically. Now stand facing our partner with arms outstretched in front of you and hands elapsed. Heads should be erect. stomachs in. Lean back away from each other, bend your knees, and sit down simul- taneously with your companion. Stand up again. keeping backs straight, bases of spinal columns tilted slightly up and forward. Re- peat i've times, sitting slowly and gracefully, rising just as slowly and fracefully. This will strengthen your back, thighs and feet.

RAISING A FAM1LY----- Child Like a Duck In Water, If He's Not Ducked at First
 CAN LEARN TO SWIM FEARLESSLY

water. They claim that not only is this true, but that the child who is afraid will take much longer to learn to swim.
 - As fear is the only handicap to learning, it is our duty to see that these young children are not fright. tened or forced into an instinctive distrust of water.
 Never take child into water over his depth or duck him with the idea that it will overcome his terror. It will only increase it.
 Using psychology is the way it is done today in first class pools. In very shallow place, the teacher toss- es small objects into the water. "Who thinks he can get that little bell first?" he asks. Instantly, a dozen small folk are pumping heads to reach the glimmering brass. All get their faces wet, some have their heads com- pletely under water. Johnny gets the bell and they all wait for the next turn, forgetting the abusing they have had. In this way they learn that water is a jolly thing. CAN LEARN
 IN A WEEK
 Children of this age, without fear, often learn to swim in week or less. Those who have something to overcome, will take much, much longer. So do not become impatient if Josie learns at once and Joe simply cannot let himself go. We must remember, nevertheless, that water is a foreign element to man. Young children should not be permitted to swim in dangerous places, or without an older person near.

 So easy to weed out little errors, speak like the charming girl you really are. Well-bred people don't say BETWEEN YOU AND I, DIF- FERENT THAN. BETWEEN YOU AND ME and DIFFERENT FROM are correct. Check yourself for other vocab- ulary faults, too. Do you overwork adjectives like pretty" "cute"2 Find colorful new ways to describe things-"a regal gown" a rollicking tune."
 And don't let words of similar meaning trip you up. Do you say AGGRAvATE (which really means make worse") for EXASPERATE (irritate)? Do you say FEW when you mean LESS?
 Don't spoil valuable first impress sions with careless errors in speech. Our 32-page booklet lists common errors, correct forms, tells how to increase your vocabulary. Gives tips on pronunciation, unacceptable slang phrases.
