is admitted on all sides that they

The patrol isn't peculiar to North
Carolina. No less than 43 states have
somewhat similar organizations; but
there does seem to be a greater de-
gree of enthusiasm and interest
among the young Tar Heels. Too, the
patrol system is used in the rural
sections as well as in the cities.
The patrol is regarded by High
way Safety Director Ronald Hocut1
as one of the main points in the
campaign OF education, particularly
in the schools, which he deems alb
solutely essential to Improvement in

The director has long felt, in fact,
that systematic teaching Of safety

high school graduation, is pro bly,

The same opinion is shared by Mrs.
Bill Flythe, an eX-sc,.C@l principal
and the mother of two high school
children, who is charged with the
preaching Of safety in the schools of
North Carolina. To her Director Ho-
cult and all acquainted with the pro-
gram assign a large share of credit.
She would be the last, however,
to claim it all, and in turn passes
praise along to parents and teachers
in the state schools, to local business
men who lend financial aid, and
finally and largely TO the boys Of the
patrol.

in the schools is not limited to the

They are taking it back home. We

THE American charge daffaireS
in Berlin has communicated to
the department of state the text
of a note dated July l which he
has received from the German
minister of foreign affairs.
Without Object
The note in question refers to
note delivered by the American
charge d'affaires on June 18, in
WHICH, lIllS government informed
the government of the German
Reich that it would not recognize
any transfer of geographic regions
of the western hemisphere from
one non-American power to an
other non-Amecican power, and
that it would not acquiesce in any
attempt to undertake such trans
fer.
The German minister for for
eign affairs states that the govern
ment of the German Reich is I'M
able to perceive for what reasons
the government of the United States
of America has addressed this COM
munication to the Reich govern
ment. He states that in contrast to
other countries, especially in con-
trast to England and France, Ger
many has no territorial possessions
i in the American continent and has
given no occasion whatever for the
assumption that it intends to &C
quire such possessions, and he as
Serts that thus, insofar as Ger

cation addressed to the Reich gov

cations there are competent critics
who say the navy-which has drop
ped seniority entirely-has obtained
equally bad results by going to the
other extreme.
Promotion III the navy is by selec-
ton boards. After a naval officer
has spent a given period in a given
rank, his fitness report goes be-
fore a selection board to determine
his eligibility for promotion. Here
the criticism is the same as that
leveled against the army'S special

upper ranks men who lack magma
ton and are fitted TO the establish

The navy's school system is diff

cent of all officers take graduate
courses, the courses are not neces-
sary IN order to rise TO an admiralS
