Two new members of the Board provided for by an act ol the laat Legislature aad elected by tb t body, namely, Dr'.W. P. Lawrence ol Elon College, Mr. Mcßride Holt of Graham, took the oath of office. The addition of these increased the num ber to five, the old members being Messrs. J. L. Scott of Burlington, J. W. Whitehead of Snow Cump and S. E. Tate of Stainback. Tae Board organized by electing Mr. Scott chairman. Immediately upon organ izing Dr. Lawrence resigned and Dr. W. A. Harper of Elon College was chosen to fill the vacanc % The time for the election of a County Superintendent of Schools having come, the names of Profs. J. B. Robertson, M. C. Terrell and E. P. Dixon were placed before the Board. The choice fell to Prof. Terrell. The new Superintendent, Prof. M. 0. Terrell, for the past two years has taught at Friendship and before that he taught in the graded schools at Burlington and Haw River. He is a native of Buncombe county and the son of a minister of the M. K chnrch. That he has been a success ful teacher speaks well for him, and that he will discharge the duties of the office in an efficient aqd satisfac tory manner is the wish of everyone who desires the success of the public schools of the county and the onward movement of the educational work.

Sprnoe lumber from western North Carolina is in great demand at present by the United States government for the construction of aeroplanes. Where this lum ber is free from knots aud other defects it brings a good price, aboat $l2O per thousand feet, as compared with #4O a thousand a 1 few years ago. It is strong aud light, which makes it well adapt ed for flying machines. Lumbermen claim, however, that the price now quoted on spruce is not more than it is worth when the difficulties of .logging the lumber ou the high mountain slopes is considered. Spruce grows only at a high altitude and the trees must be cartully handled so as not to split or otherwise iujure the logs before they reach the mill. Explosives Concealed in Coal and Other Articles. Report comes from Norway that a German plot has been discover ed there "to destroy Norwegian steamers by explosives. About a ton of explosives has been dis covered, concealed in artificial lumps of coal, which presumably were to be placed in ships bunk era and In bombs fitted with the most ingenious mechanism. The report says it has been de veloped that a trunk full of explo sives was brought to Christiana in February by a courier of the German foreign office, whose offi cial seal was on the trunk. The trunk was addressed to the Ger man embassy aod was admitted without examination. After the discovery of the explosives, the German embassy declared the trunk was destined for Finlaud, but no explanation was given as to why it had remained iu Christi ana so long. . The explosives were found iu all manner of articles, including glass vials, fountain peus, pencils, cigarettes and tobacco. At the examination of Aron Rautenfels, a German citizen, and others ar rested in connection with the case, it waa admitted that explosives were also to have been placed on stramers bound for America.

For the reason that alcohol is a' normal times a serious healtl menace, and is in time of war■■ multiplied force against humai efficiency and economy, two of tin country's largest medical associa tions go on record as favoring na tional prohibition as a wartiim measure. "At its recent meetiu; in New York City, the Americai Medical Association passed a roso lution condemning alcohol as i. beverage and its further use as x therapeutic agent ou the ground* that alcohol is detrimental to tii* human economy and that its use in therapeutics as a ton io or stimu lant or for food lias no scientific value. The National Association foi the Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis at its recent meeting in Cincinnati recognized the need ot national prohibition as a war tinu health measure and passed a reso lution urging natioual prohibition both for soldiers aud civilians not only during the war period but for one year thereafter. The ac tion of thiH Association was based on the facts that several of t lie Euroiymn countries now engag* d In this war have found itdesirable to place themselves on a prohibi tion basis; furthermore, that it ii> disloyalty to ask of those going to the front mare than those remain ing at home are willing to demaud of themselves, and that this is a measure for the good, of the service. . „ "Every reason for prohibition In times of peace is multiplied during war," says Prof. Irwing Fisher, who has studied the ques tlon thoroughly from both an eco nomic and health point of view and who considers that war pro hibition is necessary not Only for the conservat ion of food -stuffs and for the soundness of our fiscal policy, but for the life, health and efficiency of the men in the mili tary, industrial and agricultural arms of the national service. Prof. Pisher, speaking of pro hibition as a health measure, says: "The most disabling diseases to which armies and navies are liable as well as the most demoralizing (in more senses than one), are usually contracted under the in fluence of liquor. Every army camp is surrouuded by dangers to young men and alcohol takes away their self-control. A more "dry zoue" around these camps cannot solve this problem as nearly as would national prohibition, and such a partial measure, by making an invidious distinctions between the rights of a soldier aud those of a civilian, only exasperates the soldier and stimulates him to evade the restrictions. National prohibition, on the other hand, would mean a national ideal to which the soldier would willingly live up. He would do so out of patriotism, so long as the rent of us back him up."
