Today and Tomorrow By FRANK P. STOCKBRIDGE Flies Motoring through Connecticut the -other day. I stopped for a bite in a good-sized town. To my amazement, the principal restaurant of the place was swarming with flies, which were crawiing unrestrained over the food I did not eat there. The danger of flies seems not yet to have penetrated everywhere. It has been raid that it takes three generations for any new fact tj filter down through all levels of intelligence to the lowest. It is less than luu) > eui^ since cnc discovery was fflv made that files are the chief carriers tjf a>I typhoid ever. In the big cities and in most progressive small towns, public health authorities now compel the covering cf garbage and other filth in which flies breed. The automobile has done a great deal, practically eliminating the horse stable, once the flies* chief breeding ground. In the general clcan-up; of Europe since the war. long steps have been taken, until there is at least one town ir. Italy, Mimtecat.ini. which boasts that it has not a single fly! Heliophobes Are you a heliophile or a heliophobe? Everybody is one or the othe?. Heliophobes love the sunshine and thrive under exposure to sunlightHeliophobes arc the unfortunate blondes who do not tan but burn ami blister and sometimes become seriously ill in the effort to acquire the golden-brown skins of the more fortunate heliophiles. A skin specialist in a New York hospital estimates that more than 200,000 working days are lost in thaT-city every year from illness due to sunburn. These helioprobe sufferers are usually of the blonde North European and Scandinavian type, coming from a stock bred for countgenerations in the high latitudes where sunlight is scanty and indirect. The perfect heliophile, on the hon.l 5? * ? W..V,. nuwv?, uiuanj nan it nviuili ni Mediterranean blond, Italian, Greek, Spanish or Semitic. Dreams "One must have some daring ir one is to live "one's dreams," said Captain Wolfgang Gronau as he landed his flying boat in Now York harbor uftru flying over from Gcr|& many by the way r>f Iceland, Greenland and Labrador. This pioneer of a new trans-Atlantic air route dared to try to realize a dream which he hnd bad for years'. All have dreams of things wo would ilkc'to do; few of us have the daring ti attempt to make the dreams come true. "Many loved truth, and lavished l.ife's best oil Amid the dust of hooks to find her." So wrote dames Kusseli Lowell in his great Commemoration Ode. But the poet saw the truth clearly, fed "They love her best who to themselves are true Anil what they flare to el ream of, '.lare to do." Banking One of the things which is certain to change greatly in the course of the next few yer.vs is the hanking business in the smaller communities. The small local bunk has not facilities, in most instances, to take care of the legitimate business needs of its community. Some system that will distribute credit equally over the whole nation at all seasons will be worked outln Congress, where the final answer will be given, the contest is between "chain" hanking and branch hanking, with branch banking in the lead. One member of Congress has suggested that branch banks, on wheels ?armored curs ? may eventually travel between banking centers and the smallest villages, transacting hanking business for an hour or two on certain days of the week in each -It community. Something like that may come about. Chaney The death of Lon Chaney is a genuine loss to the world He was an entertainer of the first order, alike, in his proper person, in which he appeared in "Tell it to the Ma lines," and in the marvelous disguises and contorted make-ups that he used in other films. Char.sy's career we ? demonstration of the American belief that opportunity awaits, every boy or giri who is able to seize it. His youthful handicaps were ileaf-mutes; his father a barber on small wages. Whatever he was to accomplish he had to do for himself. He struggled for years on the stage and won r.is first great success in pictures when he was nearly forty. But he brought to pictures a knowledge of stagecraft ar.d the art of acting, learned by years of poorly paid apprenticeship. Nc man or woman ever became a ki ; artist in any field without such a background of uninteresting drudgery.

I do not care to go into details of the inhumane treatment that I have i witnessed by certain men connected! with this convict camp, as I pre-1 sumo that ah the facts will be presented at the trial of this cause at the proper time, but I want to say that 1 am r,ot scouting and at any time an indictment is made against me for my conduct, I am wilting to meet the charges that may be preferred against me, and those intimations made ostensibly of intimidating ir?e as a witness against parties that I understand the Grand Jury indicted at the last term of court has not made me the least uneasy.

The exterior of the structure was not badly damaged, hut the interior, togotbfc with the furnishings, is eonsiderei^i total loss.

E, WATAUGA COUNTY, NOKTH C Former Watauga Man j Killed in Jefferson City T. P.. Younco, former WaluuganJ and cousin of Charles \ ounce, resi dent of Boone. ?vas killed by Charles H. Newman in Jefferson City, Tenn., on the night of September 5th. At the time of his death Mr. Younce was serving as chief of police of the , Twinessee town. A Jefferson City dispatch of September f>th has tiiej following to say regarding the tragic affair: "With a reward of $300 offered for the arrest and conviction of C* H. Newman, alleged slayer of Chief of Police T. B. Younce here last night, and with a request sent to Governor Horton asking that the State offer' a similar sum. the man hunt in Jefferson and surrounding counties was on in earnest today. Two additional arrests in connection with the killing were made today. Robert Solomon, eighteen, said to have been a companion of Newman at the time of the killing, is held incommunicado in a Knoxville jail charged with having been an accessory in the killing. He was seized by Sheriff Northern and Dftp-j uty Quarl'es near Leadvale. He de-j nies knowledge of the whereabouts| of Newman. ; ui ncera say Solomon admits having witnessed the killing of Chief Younce, as the chief was alleged to have trained a flashlight on Newinaii's faee, rth^ri Newman and Solomon were standing back of a house in "Red Row," where a dance was in progress. The second arrest was of Rantie Wright, father-in-law of Newman, who was taken to the Dandridge jail, but was released after a few hours. A few years ago Newman shot his father-in-law in the leg, the wound making amputation necessary. It developed today at the coroner's inquest that Theo Wright, brother of Rantie Wright, was the messenger who requested Chief Younce to come to the "Red Row" house. Younce asked Jack Rader, 17, of Newmarket, to accompany him- It was Rader who ran back to the business section and gave the alarm. Records show that on August ltt, Chief Younce arrested Newman and Solomon after a drunken brawl, participated in by the defendants, who were fined in police court. While an empty shell was in the pistol of Chief Younce, it is believed the shell was kept in the gun as a safety rest for the hammer. An autopsy revealed that Younce was killed by a .32 calibre bulleti which penetrated his breast bone and| lodged in tile Spina! wimiiffi As the officer was dying he told City lte corder W. O. Brimer and Dr. \V. Albright that Ncrrman had shot hil?V these men reported. At the time of the killing Chief Younce had a warrant in his pocket for the arrest of Newman on n bootlegging charge, but Younce was not trying to serve this warrant when slain, it is said New man is described as about 38. with dark skin, blue eyes and blackhair, with no upper teeth and wearing a silver plate on his breast as a result of a wound received in the World War. Of the reward of t-300 outstanding, the. city council offers $150 and citizens $150." Still Captured at Saw Mill Site Near Bamboo! | Deputy Sheriff H. A. Hagaman, j accompanied by Council) Harmon, i raided a sawmill site near Bamboo in Elk Township last Saturday afternoon, seized a complete distillery, including a large boiler, and arrested Raleigh Movetz.
