Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERlLL-

Raleigh, June ll.-Rcgulation OF
trucks carrying gasoline continues to
be one of the big problems Of the
State Highway Patrol, the Safety
Division and the whole motor vehicle
sctup, for that matter; although it
often happens that the authorities
bring the troubles on themselves.
Most recent pain in the neck has
been caused by complaints from truck
operators that the highway patrolmen
arc going beyond the law in arbi-
trarily ordering the gasoline trucks to
be marked with particular signs.
One company has complained be-
cause a patrolman insisted that the
company's name must be on a dlStrl-
butor's truck even though the truck
did not belong to the company, but
to the distributor.
Another is Wailing over the fact
that partolman stationed at Madison
forced one of its agents to paint the
word "eXplOSivc" on both sides Of
his truck in cight-inch letters.
Both complaints seem perfectly
justified us the only law or rcgula-
ton ON the subject is the Inspection
Act of 1887 which provides that there
must be painted on the rear OF the
truck gasoline" in letters at least six
inches high. and the name and address
Of the "Ogncr" Of the truck in letters
at least four inches high.

A Hungry World

Legion Commander June hose the
other day advised the conserving Of
as much food as possible by the
American people, and predicted that
a year OF two hence would find 4 lot

said that the average American
wastes enough 10 feed another per

And, if you've never burned
your hair and aren't familiar
with the odor, look at the ash.
If it is black metallic, the thread
is wooden. Also, wool burns very
slowly.
Pure silk burns in exactly the
same way except it burns slowly,
instead of very slowly. The ap-
pearance of the ash is black
metallic and the odor is of burn
ing hair.
Cotton, however, smells like
burning paper, burns with a flare
and leaves a gray powder. Lin

HERE is cottage" house with
plenty of room.
Featuring departure from the
sometimes tiresome conventional two
story house design with bedrooms up
stairs and living quarters on the frst
floor, this home uses half-levels.
The entrance opens into the living
room, but by going up Ave steps you
are at The bedroom level and can look
down from the stairs onto the living
room. Up another half-level is the
third bedroom located behind the
chimney. By going down half-level
from the kitchen you enter into the
basement.
Note the living room bay window
and open fireplace, the outdoor porch,
end the ample storage space on the
upper floor.
This method of building not only
cfers an interesting change, but is
economical and provides many con-
veniences not found in the conven-
ional type of home.
