Chemical Consumption
Continues at High Rate
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 14.-While
some of the large consuming in
dustries, including steel, glass, and
textiles, reduced operating rates in
February, many branches of chem
lcal manufacture continued at ca
pacity levels, with shipments from
plants running on a par with pro-
duction, according to the monthly
analysis published by Chemical and
Metallurgical Engineering. Rayon
yarn output was on q steady basis,
with only moderate increases in
stocks. In the petroleum industry,
runs to stills were relatively high,
with seasonal gains reported in
outputs of paints, varnishes and
lacquers.
Preliminary figures for February,
with no adjustments for seasonal
influences or for number OF work.
ing days, place Chemical and Metal
lurgical Engineering's index for con-
sumption of chemicals at 1873 as
against 1o9s2 for February last
year. Preliminary figures for jan
uary were found to be low in almost
every instance and the revised
index for that month moved up to
144.15, which compares with 114.97
for January. 1887.
AS measured by these indexes.
consumption Of chemicals for the
first two months of this year has
run about % per cent above that
for the like period of 1899 and as
exports in January were valued at
SIG, 6,792,512 and $685., ,046 ir 1910
and 1899. respectively, it is probable
that production of chemicals this
year has gained to a higher degree
than that reported for consumption,
even though part Of current ex-
ports carry higher unit values.

FRANK P. SMITH IS
PNEUMONIA VICTIM

Frank P Smith, respected citi-
zen of Nora, succumbed to an at
tack of pneumonia last week. Mr..
Smith was born in Washington
County, Virginia, on October 10.
1859. He has long been resi-
dent of this county, having come
here in the wagoning days when
merchandise was hauled into this
section from the nearest. railroad
point at Abingdon. On October
13, 1897, he married Miss Sylvia
Grizzle of Seton. Mr.. Smith ac-
CURED a considerable boundary OF
land around Nora, and when the
Clinchfeld Railway was built
through the section, he sold right
of-way to the railroad and min
eral land to the Clinchfeld Coal
Corporation. From these sales he
became comparatively wealthy, but
most of his savings were swept
away in the banking crash of
1881. For years the Smith home
at Nora has served as a country
tavern, and many guests have re-
ceived entertainment there. The
deceased was prominent in the af
fairs of the community and was
ever an exponent of progress. He
leaves a widow and two children:
Mrs. Lucille (Caleb) Sutherland.
and Sidney Smith.

LOCAL GIRLS SCORE
OVER HAYSI, 1914

In the first official county game
of the season the D. M. H. S.
girls scored a breath-taking vic
tory over the Haysi lassies on the
Haysi court last Saturday night.
The final score was Is to Ia.
Minus the services of Elizabeth
Sutherland, veteran forward, An
ma Lee Sykes bore the brunt of
the offensive, scoring 6 of her
teams total.
The score at the end of the
first half was IL to A in favor of
D. NJ. H. S. but shortly after the
opening of the final stanza, Una
Gilbert of Haysi broke loose and
scored a total of 8 points to be
high scorer of the game.

LEGION TO HOLD
OLD TIME DEBATE

At the next meeting of the To-
cal post of the American Legion
on February 2, the vets will be
subjected to a bombardment of
oratory. An old-fashioned debate
IS announced, the subject being
Resolved: That the present neu-
trality law of the United States
should be repealed" The affirma-
tive will be upheld by E. R. Bev-
erly and E. j. Sutherland, while
the negative will be championed
by O. w. Banner and J. I'll. T.
Sutherland. The public is invited
to attend the meeting to be held
either in the courthouse Or in the
Community Building.
The Legionaires plan for the
March meeting to be something O.;
a social affair. There will be a
"feed," and each Legionaire is to
bring his lady.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
CONVENES WEDNESDAY

The General Assembly of Vir-
ginia convened in bienniel session
at noon on Wednesday,. On Tues
day night the Democratic Senate
Caucus, consisting of 81 members.
elected E. R. Combs, former
Comptroller and former Clerk of
Russell County, as Clerk Of the
Senate. Senator Bill Tuck of Hall
fax was elected chairman of the
caucus.
Many are the items to be pom
dered over during the sixty day
session by the lawmakers. The
extension of the public assistance
act and the three point school pro-
gram will call for extra appropria-
lions. William H. Stauffer, Com
missioner Of Public Welfare, is
asking for increased appropria-
tons to finance old age assistance,
aid to dependent children, and
general relief to the extent of
100000. 1t is said that the three
point educational program, en-
bracing free text books, pensions
for teachers, and increases in
teachers salaries, will call for the
sum of $5,000,OO0 in round num-
bers. Also to be considered are
plans for placing all police Off
GERS, including deputy sheriffs, on
salary; the enactment of a work
ing state probation and parole
system; improvement of market
ing facilities for farmers; and la
Dor legislation affecting the hours
of women in industry.
However vital these legislative
items may be, the jockeying of
political factions for power will
take up a great deal of energy
among the lawmakers. 1t is no Sc
cret that the last elections and pri-
maries in the state were contests
for power between the factions of
the Democratic party headed re-
spectively by Senator Harry F.
Byrd and Governor Price. The
election of Mr.. Combs as clerk of
the senate is regarded as distinct
Byrd victory.

J. C. 'HYLTON

J. G. Jimmy Dink" Hylton was
a citizen Of Dickinson County for
more than fifty years, and prob
ably no person in the history of
the county has been better known.
Although not possessed with a
great deal of worldly goods, he
passed many happy years in our
midst and was a friend to both
young and old and greeted friend
and stranger alike-with a cheer
full salutation. AS a gardener and
fisherman he would qualify as an
expert, and his niche in communi-
ty life will be hard to fill.

This, weather veterans say, is
beginning to remind them OF the
old-tirne winters. They tell you,
as if in scorn Of softer years, how
ased-to-be snow would fall in early
December and lie on until spring.
That is just an image built up by
tricky memory, never more than
$50 accurate. Snow-clad days are
etched sharply and stand out as
pictures of winter. Other days are
not recalled because there was
nothing unusual about them. So
old memories recall the season as
one of snow and cold. In quar-
ter of century the children Of
today will be telling of the time
when winters were winters!
After getting toughened to it.
we almost like the snow and rough
weather. We feelSmore alive, and
life has more tang to 1t. Cold
puts a snap and vigor into us.
Wintry weather brings beauty
that is rare to us here where the
South begins. Not often does
snow lie on our native hills long
enough to became dazzling in its
purity and whiteness. Freezing
gives to it a glfsten and brittle
ness. Snow covered trees have a
Iestal beauty that June, with all
her flowers, cannot equal.
But it seems long time until
the April sun and flowers will
come again!

He dropped in casually to see
us, the kid who had been away
three years and had been half
way around the world and back
again. He had not heard from his
folks for a year and half and
wanted news of them. Though he
wore the army veneer of cocksure-
ness and toughness, he was all soft
inside about coming home again.
And we thought how little his
great adventure would mean to his
neighbors. Before the World War
sent our lads across the seas and
the later stages of the Industrial
Revolution hurled people to all far
places, the Homecoming of a SOL
dier from the Philippines would
have been a matter for nine days
wonder. But now people go away
and see "much of cities and of
men" as casually as we once Wis
tied a neighbours home on Sunday.

For Good Tires

good time on motoring holiday

dition. Even IL nothing happens.
the very fact that driver knows
his rubber" is bad, tends TO put
a damper on the unrestrained Joy
TO which a person Ia entitled when
the play days roll around.
This Is particularly true where
longer trips are concerned because
ii IL q ten TO one shot that badly
worn tires will not hold out under
the strain Of consistent driving.
Warm weather and the hour
after-hour grind are almost sure
to overtax tires which have seen
their better days. Furthermore,

costly repairs due TO blowouts at
high speed.

Munson Motor Co. urges all mo-
florists whose tires are badly worn
to replace them before attempting
vacation trips, A complete line Of
