Building
Building operations in the Unitec
States go by fits and starts. One
year there will be a building boom
then next year a depression. Oik
reason i?- the difficulty of financing
the spread between first mortgage
money and the building owner's cap
ital.
oOTuc Chicago builders have a plan
whereby the people concerned in the
building industry do this financing
themselves. Contractors, supply
manufacturers, dealers in building
materials, architects, and labor ar<
to take a part of their pay in junior
mortgage certificates, to be paid ofl
in instalments. This plan will not re
dine wages or profits, but genera!!}
adopted will make building opera
iiorts independent of general i'inan
cia! conditions.

Things are moving In the II c.?vei
Dam project at Bouldei Canyon ?ir
the Colorado Hiver. Power lines ai<
abouht to run to the site, to furnisl
energy for the handling of the im
r.iense masses of stone and concrete
which wiij be required to build tin
dam. Engineers arc- being appointed
plans "nave bfien made for the towi
to house the ten thousand workmei
who will he employed on the job, bid:
hove been asked for some of the ma
tcrials which will be first required
it takes time t?> carry out a grea
project like; this- Five and one-hal'
years is the lowest estimate from tru
flay construction begins until th<
ereat dam is finished. It takes a lc|
of time to prepare to begin work.
That is the difficulty about relyir.j
upon public works to relieve a suirl
den stress of unemployment?it take:
o much time to plan them and pro
vide for financing them that by th?
tinu* the work is ready to begin tin
period of unemployment may be al
most over.

importance to everyone in the Unite*
States. We consume several times a
E, much sugar as any other nation ii

difficulty in competing with for
cign sources. The sugar industry ii
Louisiana was practically wiped ou
a few years ago. by plant diseases

finished the job. But the introduc
tion of a new type of sugar cam

five times as much sugar as in 1026

more sugar to the acre of cane thai

A Florida man shipped a carl 6a

a check tor $280. The Florid,', ma
invoked the recently-enacted FiyJerS

oranges was nearer $7(10 than $2b<
The court ordered the dealer to na
the shipper an additional $'163, wit

acts can got' the money due then

State Teachers College
Wins Two More Games i
I The giant Mountaineers from Ap-'.
* pahichian State Teachers College inj
Boone. Saturday afternoon defeated;
- the SeadojJs of Atlantic University,!
(r to I), in a listless game on the At?
lantic University field at Virginia,
Beach. The local men scored late in;
- the second quarter when Harris, half-i
- back, took a forward pass on Atlan-j
II tic's 30-yard line and ran for a
1 touchdown. Try for extra point fail-i
'led. The Anrmlnrhinn tonm nnlwoio-lio/i !
- and outplayed the Seusiders.
s On the night previous, at Newport j
- News, the Mountaineers defeated the'
Naval Apprentice team by the score
; of 7 to 0, after battling for three
quarters without a marker- The lone
touchdown came during the final (
minute of play. The Appalachian
team was given the ball on the*Maroons'
five-yard line when Umpire
: -Hosier.-ruled that an Apprentice play'
er had interfered with a Mountaineer i
t forward pass at that point.
While their big brothers were wilt-]
~ ning their second game withir. a (lav
by defeating Atlantic University at!
- Virginia Bench, .the Appalachian
J Teachers' third team romped all over
' the Booneville Highs here Saturday
* and won by a 65-0 count. La Parco
1 scored fifty of Appalachian's total
points. The State team scored at)
- will and was never in danger of be1
ing scored upont.j
from another State. The Federal
-1 courts are not subject to local inm
fluences; and the new law seems to
Yhavc teeth in it.

;! Education
We spend more money for educan
tion than for anything else. but
a there are 'still hundreds of thousands
il if not millions, of American grownn
ups who have never learned to road!
cl or write. The death the other day of}
Thomas Young, whose occupation wuj
that of ''public writer" in n good-]
sized town close to New York City J
revealed the fact that hundreds off
d! persons in White Plains who could j
n i not write were in the habit of going
r to him to write their letters for them,
p In New York State alone, by the
ilj Census of 1920, there were 125,000
e persons Over ten years old who could
Of neither read JncT write, and all but
til 10,000 of those were over 21. Nor
e were they all foreigners; more than
). HO.000 were native-horn whites. The
y number is probably smaller now* the
h 1930 Census figures on illiteracy are
>- not yet available. But there were
more than three million white folks
a over ten years old, and nearly two
\- million negroes, who could hot read
in any language, in 1920, and the
probability is that there are still
ie three or four million illiterate citi
;r? -/ens.

in the North Carolina Legislature, '
ten representative* and three senators,
achieved in 1923 through the 1
charged gerrymandering of senato- 1
rial districts by the late Colonel A.
D. Watts, was still further reduced f
to eight Republicans, six representatives
and two senators, as a result *
of the election last week, which
proved a landslide for the Democrats
of greater proportions than
liie 1928 Republican deluge.
While the Democrats were winning r
more than one hundred Representatives
and a dozen Senators for an '
almost exact even number with the!1
Republicans in the National Congress
ant! carrying many hitherto rock
ribbed Republican states with t'ne
election of Democrat!'' governor* and!
other officers. North Carolina De*r.-j]
oerats made inroads that surprised;
even the most sanguine party lead
ers. They elected a full Democratic
delegation to Congress and 1 ! of
the 150 Representatives and 4S ofj,
the .*>0 Senators in the State General :
Assembly, and reclaimed county governments
in more than twenty coun-j
ties. <
The only two Republican Senators!1
are A. T. Grant, Motksville, veteran
representative of the 2 4th District.]]
composed of the Republican counties
of Davie. Wilkes and Yadkin, of
which Davie went Democratic and *
Wilkes elected a Democratic repre- 1
tentative this time, and Roy A Har- \
men, of Elk Park, from the .'10th
district, composed of Avery, Madison j j
Mitchell and Yancey counties.
The six counties having Republic- \]
an representatives are Averv. Mit- *
chcli. Pamlico. Randolph, which,'
elected half of the Democratic ticket, 1
Sampson and Yadkin, where- the Re- '
publican lead of 11 votes is being!

that have bcen-Repuhlican since _theJ

column "last week, and some of those; '
remaining in the Republican column
are there by greatly reduced mSjcri-l

in the Democratic fold.
