When the light went up it revealed
a. matchboard lined passage, with
four doors leading from it.
"In here!"
Gun obediently turned to the left
and found himself in small room
furnished like an office. For a mo-
ment he shielded his eyes from the
bright light.
you're very up to date here, with
your electric light, and whatnot,
aren't YOU? I mean, for an isolated

Gun laughed.
"How? By being not quite a
blithering idiot, I suppose" he an
swered. ."You must have a fairly
isolated spot, mustn't you, to steal
airplanes and kidnap their crews,
without any uncomfortable degree
of publicity?"
Gun was talking mainly to gain
time, and was unobtrusively exam
ining the room while he talked. 1t
was plainly furnished with a roll
top desk, couple of bentwood
chairs, a small table and a steel
filing cabinet. The walls were deco
rated with maps-a large scale one
of London and its environs, AMI
another of Berlin. A map of Eu-
rope, another of England, and yet
another of the south of France.
Stuck up with drawing pins were
some pictures of rather undressed
girls, torn from various periodicals,
and couple of colored ones from

his automatic to one of the small

the physical exhaustion which that
short but sharp walk had produced.

baskerville TALKS
AT ROTARY MEET
Tells Of Work Done BY Con-
servation Bureau In Pro-
noting States Interests

The Rotary club yesterday
heard John c. Baskerville of the
state department of conservation
and development tell of the work
done by his bureau in promoting
the interests, population and re-
sources of North Carolina.
Dividing his talk into three Sec
tions-"babies, advertising and
golden apples"-Baskerviii cited
the down trend in the birth rate
and the consequent excess produc-
ton as incentive for the promo
ton effort which has found its
chief expression in the states ad-
vertising campaigns to bring in
new population, new revenues
new customers for the states out
put; which, in turn, is responsible
for the golden apples" tourists
and settlers, whose expenditures
have given Tarheelia larger finan-
cial receipts.
In 1887, he said, the states first
appropriation of $125, 900 was
made available for promotion. A
campaign was Immediately start
ed, with advertisements appearing
in So newspapers and % maya
zines, and as.variety of trade, bust
ness and farm journals. In the
first year, 1887, the tourist reve-
nue. alone. amounted to $35,O00,000;
in. 1899 it had increased to $I02,-
10000. This includes merely the
volume of revenue created by mo
tor tourists and does not take in
any. money spent by visitors trave-
ling either by bus or train, Of, he
said, which 1T is impossible to
make a check. q
This is the states part of the
job of sending North Carolina
ahead, MI. Baskerville explained.
Full advantage of the opportunity
to make the state a favorite
among nomadic Americans. cannot
be taken without hearty coopera-
ton by the people in the various
sections of the state. He told of
Asheville's and Pinehurst's ex-
p~loitation by their own citizens,
and the rewards they have reaped
through that promotion. He called
on eastern North Carolina to do
more for itself, that its benefit
from the states advertising may
be greater. He called particularly
for more and better eating places,
saying that outside of the Whining
ton area it is almost impossible
for tourists to get a good meal
anywhere in the section.
Mr.. Baskerville was introduced
by Louis T. Moore, secretary of
the Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce. ..-+.
'Meares Harriss reported on the
banquet of the Aero club which he
attended as the Rotary representa-
tive, saying the work of that or
ganization deserves highest COM
mendation. He had pledged the
clubs cooperation in its splendid
detectives, he declared, and urged
closer association of Rotarians
with its efforts.
Roger Moore urged the direc-
tors to consider purchase Of a mi
crophone and loud speaker for the
convenience of the membership,
noting that frequently it is impos-
sible to hear guest speakers.

came into the business in 1911, and
L.. c. Robertson, Jr., in 1872. The
original store was Chestnut and Bar
entine at 80 North Front street.
Barentine left the business in
1910, and j. W. Freeman, who had
worked there since 1890 became
partner. The name Of the firm was
changed to Chestnut & Freeman

tered as partners in 1920. The firm
name later became Chestnut and

Education for Defense

Plans by which certain w. p. A.
employees and selected persons from
the rolls OF public employment serv-
ices may receive vocational training
in the District vocational schools
with view to increasing the reserve
of trained workers in national de-
tense industries deserve the hearty
commentator of the community.
While the Capital is not itself an
industrial town, trades will be Sc
lected for course instruction which
will offer opportunity to the students
here even in the event they are not
required elsewhere by national
emergency.
Details are yet to be completed. but
there is every reason why the Capt.
tai should join the several States in
participating in the $15,0O0,OOO fund
recently approved by Congress for
this type of program. It has fine vo-
cational schools and equipment at
high schools and junior high schools
which might we'll be of service to
the country and to that part of the
population which has been unable
to obtain private employment.
Exercise of care in selecting pupils
for the courses and judicious choice
of the courses themselves will help
greatly toward assuring success of
the project.

Strike Settlement

The settlement of the local sand
and gravel strike which has been
worked out as a result of a COM
promise by the Wage and Hour Di-
vision provides what is perhaps the
best immediate adjustment of q
conflict which had threatened to
disrupt all construction work in the
District, but it offers little in the way
OF a long range solution.
Some $50 employees OF the Smoot
Sand and Gravel Corporation, which
is virtually the only producer in the
District Of these building materials,
went on strike against Wage-H Hour
Division ruling that they could not
be classed as seamen. The employees
had been working overtime at
straight pay on the theory that they
were seamen and therefore exempt
from the Wage-Hour Act. The eff
feet OF the ruling, however. was to
make this unlawful, and the en-
ployes were afraid their total COM
pensation would be reduced as re-
suit. BY way of compromise, Wage
Hour officials revised their original
ruling to class sixty of the men as
seamen, and on that basis work has
been resumed.
This is no assurance, however,
that other disputes will not lead to
new strikes in the future, with the
result that the District again will be
cut of from sand and gravel supplies.
That contingency should be guarded
against If it Is at all possible to
do so.
1t has been said that the Smoot
Corporation has a practical mo-
nopoly" of the sand and gravel bust
ness in the Capital, and Assistant At
torney General Thurman Arnold has
announced that he intends to insti-
tute a grand jury investigation of
the circumstances surrounding the
lack of competition in this particular
field. This should be done by all
means, for if the Smoot Corporation
in fact has acquired and maintains
a monopoly of sand and gravel pro-
duction in the District by any other
than lawful methods-of which there
is no evidence now-remedial steps
should be taken promptly. The re-
quirements Of the local building pro-
gram, particularly at a time when
national defense interests are in
volved, should not be endangered by
any supply bottleneck
