Director- General Hinea and the Brotherhood* have not been able to come rt> tonus, aud both sides have submitted their contentions to I'iesidcnt Wilson. We are nibble to stateyhat advance in wages is demanded, but the gen eral understanding is that railroad employees are well paid already— better paid, in fact, than any other H class of labor. As a matter of fact they should be better paid, for the reason that railroading is more hazardous than almost any other 9 kind of labor, but on the other baud the means to pay muat come from some aouroc, and in the final analy sis the consumer "pays the freight." If freight becomes too burdensome, (be that the wheels will top.

Every victory makes a DENTAL HEALTH WORK. Slate Board Health Liberally Aided The State Board of llealth furn ished a school dentist to Alamance for three months without any cost to the county whatever, except that 4.scts.of every dollar in taxes goes to the health work in the State. The people-were so pleased with the work that Dr. Johnson did that the County Board of Health wanted to see the work continued, so a committee was appointed, consisting of Dr. W. R. Goley, Mr. R. L. Holmes, and Mr. M. C. Terrell, to see if funds could be secured to continue the work. The funds were readily secured and Dr. Johnson was oon tinued for two months, and Dr. V. W. Love, a colored dentist was also employed for six weeks, to continue the work in the colored schools. His work is now being continued by clubs in the colored schools, organized by the colored Supervisor, Mrs. Bertha Vincent. Even with this extension of the work it was absolutely impossible to visit all the schools. A whole time man is needed. When the work is resumed, the schoo)s that were not visited this time will re ceive attention. A summary of tho work done is given below; County: Alamance; number places worked, 32.

C„ Feb. 10.- Boxing haa been started as a sport at tbe University of North Caro lina. Under the direction- of Thomas J. Browne, formerly Cap tain in the United States Aruiy and head of the central army school at Camp Gordon for train ing athletie directors, 160 fresh men who heretofore ham charged at their opponenta with both arms swinging like the obi barn door are now learning the differencr bettreen a left hook and a right cross and tbe relation between shifty foot-work and a caul I- flower ear. Professor Browne, who Is direc tor of physical training at the University, has had a lot of ex perience in teaching boxing. At tached to his staff at Camp Gor don during the war was Mike Gib bons, tbe present welter-weight champion, who was boxing in structor at Camp Gordon. In 1918 a conference of boxing in structors was held at Cauip Gor don under the direction of Cap tain Browne to standardize the instruction in all tbe camps. Among the well known pugilists at that conference were Benny Leonard, Packey McFarland, Johnny Griffith, Jack "Twin" Sul livan, Johnny Coulon, and others. A course of instruction for begin ners was mapped out by them and It is that same course that Capt. Browne is now teaching at the University. The boxing instruction given to freshmen is part of the athletic work all freshmen are require* to take. In addition Capt. Browne is starting a class for beginners in boxing and from preliminary in quiries students are taking a lot of interest. The same revival of interest in boxing has been felt in other col leges, all of it, it is thought, a re flection of the boxing interest that was stirred up in the army where )>oxing was probably the main sport. At Yale Harvard, Dartmouth, I'enn State, and Cali fornia notable progress has been made this winter and several hun dred students at each institution are participating in the sport. It is also being started at many other institutions, though at the University of Pennsylvania the student newspaper In a strong editorial argued against its adop tion on the ground that it afford ed too easy a chance for profes sionalism. At the University the boxers have not yot reached the stage of boxing against, each other. Capt. Hrowne is taking his beginuera along slowly, teaching them a lot about the blows and foot-work be fore he lets them get at each other. A full supply of gloves is on hand and the students wear them in all their practice work. With the equipment and the raw material ready at hand and with plenty of spii it among the begin ners University students are ex poctiug to see an exhibition bout or so before warm weather chases everybody out to baseball. A Third Triumph. If tho introductory list of Brunswick Records is to set the pace for the production of the House of Brunswick, it means a wonderful opportunity for Brunswick dealers. It is well worth tho wait of many months necessary for the preparation. The House of Brunswick has been planning for some time to produce its own records and it has spent several years oi study ing out the iiossibilities of a dif ferent, better record. To pro duce the ordiuary was unthink able. So Brunswick Records go one step further and include not only celebrated artists and favorite selections but the tal ent of the artist is interpreted by noted directors, thus bring ing a closer intimacy with the composer. Everyone who has heard Brunswick Records accord them instant approval and predict a great sensation. Brunswick dealers are now ofTeriug the new selections and Brunswick national advertising is asking the public to judge Brunswick Records as Brum wick Phonographs were judged. This means that people are in vited to hoar and decide for themselves. It in the general belief that the House of Brunswick, which hati had such a phenomenal sac ce» with its phonograph, will score another triumph in the introduction of Krunswick Kecords. r.feblt CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children In (IM For Ov«r 30 Years ZEzcCsmzu Here is another fact not to be overlooked.

Greensboro, Feb. 10.—In a new 128-page bulletin, just is sued by the Extension Depart ment of the North Carolina Col lege for Women, Miss Minnie L. Jamison, of the college exten sion division, has brought to gether a mass of material of the most vital interest to North Carolina teachers and home makers under the title, "Com munity Project* and School Credits for Home Projects." Though designed primarily for rural teachers and rural homes, the material will be of value everywhere. The material lias been organized and the instruc tions and outlines given with special reference to North Caro lina communities, which Miss Jamison has studied find-hand •for several years. The bulletin is a practical laboratory and service manual which deals with three funda mental aspects of home-making: A study of the care, simple decoration and sanitation of the home; a study of clothing, prac tice work in simple garments, and the hygiene of clothing; and class experiments in foods, followed by practice in the home. Under these topics of home decoration, clothing and food Miss Jamison lias bcpught to gether in systematic studies, based on thoroughly scientific methods, practical plans and de vices which will enable children and mothers in the home, aided by the school teacher, to profit by the investigations of the ex perts in domestic problems. Full directions are given to aid the rural teacher in giving instruc tions in the arts of the home, with a carefully prepared list of the materials necessary in giv ing such instructions. Topics which coine in for full consideration are school lunches, attractive and sanitary house keeping, tho treatment of floors and furniture, the blending and use of painta, rural water sup plies. home-made tireless cook ers, general house cleaning, sewing and cooking. The privilege of getting full is how confined to those whose eel- Urn are. SOUTH 18 TURNING AGAINST CALOMEL Mr. IMioa. the "U«(r Tone" Man. Heaponalble for Chasge Far (be Better.

Planes That Can Make Ninety-Six Mites an Hour Ana N aw la Uaa In ■ursps. Just a* the era of adult automobile* was followed by the creation of baby motorcar*, ao how in the aerial world there is an Influx of baby airplanes. In the park, In the fields and In rad ons other open spaces miniature air craft are baring tryOuts all over Eng land. One of these midgets, called the "British Crow," weighs 220 pounds, and flies with almost the speed of a full-grown airplane. Another baby, called "the pocket airplane," is so small thit a man can span Its wings. It is 16 feet long, and the Inventor, Austin Whipple, says It will achieve a speed of W miles an hour. A fea ture of this baby is that it can be folded for transport and carried la aide a trunk. /The French are also dabbling in 1111- gratlaa aircraft An Infant monoplane la turned out by a French firm at Qar say with a span of a trifle more than 18 feet, thus being two feet smaller than the "British Crow." Fitted with a ten horsepower ABC engine, It has a speed of 82 miles an hour, and can land at the low speed of 20 miles an hour. The average retail price of these little brothers of the Capronls, Handley Pages and Vlmys is from sl,- 000 to f1,200. Monumental "Toppera." Though there Is a revival of the silk hat, which many people tflought the war had made extinct as a species ot headdress, fewwould argue that It makes a fit "sffßject for the sculptor. Yet there are several top-hatted statues about One at least Is In the United States. It Is a statue of Presi dent Lincoln. He Is bareheaded, but his "topper," a very unfashionable specimen, Is carefully laid on the seat at his side. But perhaps the funniest specimen Is In the Central square at Olaßgow, Scotland. It represents a re spected citizen, James Oswald, mem ber of parliament, and he carries his "topper" In his right hand, held firm ly by the upside down. The street urchins find this "topper" Irre sistible. If the policeman Is round the corner they play pitching pebbles Into Mr. Oswald's hat. Some of them are expert at the game and the hat has to be emptied of stones quite fre quently. Eight Thousand Swiss. Only 8,000 Swiss soldiers fought In the war. That number entered the French service. But that Is not the whole story. Out of the 8,000, 300 survived. Including many wounded. The rest, 7,700, were killed. A thousand of them held up a German advance one day at Verdun; held it up until the last man of them was killed. About 50 years ago the story of Wil liam Tell and the poem about Arnold von Wlnkelrled were In most of the ■chool readers that young Americans cut their eye teeth on. The 8,000 Swiss who fought In the War well established the right of that Btory and that poem to remain In American school readers.—Life.
