Consummation of the thoughts and
Ideas of the several communities in
terested as to the desirability of a bet
ter method of communication with the
world, North and South, was achieved
when on February 23 the South Hill-

The new bridge shortens the dis

and from South Hill to Durhamf the
route is over the South Hill-Hender

and Oxford.
In a recent communication from one
of the officials of the American Auto

erence was made to the new route:
"We are going right ahead with
preparing new detailed strip maps
showing the main route down through
Richmond, South Hill, Henderson, Ra

found that all through SouA carolina

"busy grading and filling along the
main lines of travel, especially along
the route, or course which we expect
to route our members over during the

Problem.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
"Tired of exile and deprivation,"
Charles, former emperor of Austria-
Hungary, made a dramatic attempt
last week to regain of
Hungary. Influenced by reports that
the Hungarians were eager for his re
turn, he slipped across the border
from Switzerland, disguised as a Ty
rolean tourist and accompanied by
four friends, and for a day was con
cealed by Bishop Mikes at Stelnaman
ger. There Premier Teleky was sum
moned and tried in vain to persuatle
the former monarch that his hopes
were not to be realized. Charles per
sisted in his adventure, so Teleky ac
companied him to Budapest, where Ad
miral Horthy, the regent, had an In
terview with him. Charles decorated
the admiral and tried to cajole him
Into turning over the government to
him, but Horthy declared he would
offer armed resistance to nny attempt
to overturn the present regime, and,
with tears In his eyes, the ex-ruler left
the palace, saying: "Farewell for
ever."
Returning to Stelnamanger, Charles
was placed under strict military super
vision and Bishop Mikes was arrest
ed. charged with being the head of the
movement to restore Charles to the
throne. The Spanish minister at Vien
na stated that Charles was under
Spanish protection and asked the gov
ernment for a pass to enable the ex
ruler to cross Austrian territory.
Three days later it was reported in
Paris and Vienna that Charles had
proclaimed military dictatorship at
Stelnamanger with himself as Its
chief and that General I.ehar was
ready to support him with 15.000
troops.
This development brought about
prompt action by the "little entente,"
Czecho-Slovakla, Jugo-Slavla and Itou
manla, whose troops were placed In
strategic positions on the Hungarian
frontiers. President Masaryk sent an
ultimatum to the Hungarian govern
ment. saying that the restoration of
the Habsburgs would be regarded as a
casus belli by Czecho-Slovakla.
* The Hungarian charge d'affaires In
Vienna notified the Austrian govern
ment that Charles Would return' to
Switzerland. At this writing It ap
pears that the attempted coup is a dud,
Earfy in the week It looked as
though the government forces In Ger
many had succeeded In quelling the
great communist revolt, which was
centered In Prussian Saxony. The
"green" troops, armed with machine
guns, captured the big Lenna nitro
gen plant In Halle, together with
many prisoners and vast stores of
arms and ammunition, and In other
places they scored Important suc
cesses. Tiien the revolt flamed out
sfresh, not only In Saxony, but also
!n parts of the regions occupied by 1 the
allied troops. The American and Bel
gian occupational forces were espe
cially Involved but both quickly
gained controlof the situation. In
Westphalia and in Wels«enfels. Sax
ony. there was severe fighting and the
communists suffered considerable
losses. The attempt of the Iteds to
bring on a general strike apparently
was a failure, however.
The en'lre situation in Germany Is
rather clouded and reports emanatln?
from German sources are not reliable.
There Is little doubt that Berlin has
been exaggerating the danger of gen
eral revolt and the seriousness of the
"battlae" with the Reds lit order tc

civil military forces whose dlsband
raent :s demanded by tlie allies.
For the second time the German gov
ernment lias tllel with the League of
Nations a formal protest against the
occupation of additional territory by
the allies; and the officials of #he al
lied nations are proceeding with their
plans to exact further penalties If
Germany persists in its refusal to pay
12,000,000,000 gold marks by the first
of May. There Is no evidence that the
Germans will pay, and some of the
a,111e3, especially the French, are con
vinced their former foes are actually
preparing for a new war. Marshal
Fayolle Is quoted as saying .the Ger
mans are making cannon and machine
guns, and especially are forwarding a
huge aviation program, and that in the
next conflict London and Paris will
be deluged with bombs from supposed
ly "commercial" airplanes. He Is
convinced that unless the allies take*
firm action at once, Germany will
never carry out the Versailles treaty.
The vigorous Greek offensive against
the Turkish nationalists in Asia Minor
progressed merrily until Esklshehr was
reached. At this railway junction,
where the Greeks were defeated some
months ago, disaster again overtook
them, according to dispatches from
Constantinople, and after a day-long
battle they were forced to retreat
after losing many In killed and cap
tured, The report of the Greek defeat
may b«> exaggerated, for it emanates
from Kemallst sources.
• G r e ek successes In Asia Minor are
not pleasing to any but the Greeks,
and possibly the British, and even
the "regular" Turkish government at
Constantinople protested to the allies
against the Greek offensive. Italy es
pecially Is sore, and relations between
Athens and Rome were strained when
Greece announced a blockade of Asia
Minor and accused the Italians of
smuggling war munitions to Kemul
Pasha. The French fear that proposed
occupation by the Greeks of the Dar
danelles wilt Insure British control of
that Important waterway, and Rou
manla has entered formal and bitter
protest against the composition of the
commission controlling the I>arda

Bulgaria will not overlook any chance
to regain Thrace from the Greeks, but
the latter hope to obtain the sbpport

territory by helping tliem In Albania

world diplomats, war clouds are onc'fr.
more appearing over the Balkuns.
There was one little gleam of the
sun of peace through the nnirk of the
Irish situation last week. Sir Wil
liam Goutylng of Dublin, a prominent
railway man. and three southern Irish
unionists, conferred with Cardinal
Logue, primate of Ireland, at Dundalk,
with the object of securing the open
ing of negotiations between the Irish
republican parliament and the British
government. Meanwhile there la no
cessation of the struggle between
the Sinn Felners and the British
police and soldiers In the Island,
every day bringing Its stories of atj
tacks, usually with bombs, on the aux
iliaries and of the reprisals of the lat
ter.
♦lie commission of the volunteer
committee of one hundred which has
i»een conducting In this country an In-;
quiry Into the Irish question has made
Its report. Admitting that It labored
"under the disadvantage of lacking
the official British side of the case,"
the commission declares that "the
Imperial British army In Ireland has
been goilty of proved excesses, not In
comparable In degree and kind with
those alleged by the Bryce report oh
Belgium atrocities, to have been com
mitted by the Imperial German army."
The report says the Irish people have
had the protection of neither British
nor International law and that they
have been systematically subjected to.
a "terror" which, however, has failed
to je-establlsh Imperial British civil
government and to suppress the Irish
republic. The published summary of
the report does not show that the Irish
are blamed for anything except the
secret execution of spies, traitors and
enemies of the Irish republic who were
condemned in ex parte bearings.
Rene Vlvlanl, France's special en
voy to the United Slates, has been re

President Harding takes up interna

Discussion of one of the administra
tion's most serious problems—that of
the railways—was taken up in earnest
liuit week, and though to the lay mind
Ip seems almost Insolvable, the ex
perts 111 such matters believe It will
be solved by the Interstate commerce
commission and the railroad labor
board working In closer conjunction
than had been contemplated when the
latter was created. Senator Cummins
and Representative Mondell assert the
machinery under the transportation
act is adequate In the situation and
that no further legislation will be
needed. It Is the position of the Pres
ident and his advisers that the gov
ernment should do all It can to facil
itate the return of the railroads to
former conditions, and It Is admitted
that both high freight rates and high
wages must be reduced. Present
rates are undoubtedly retarding grent
ly the movement of commodities, es
pecially farm products, and the roads
suffer In revenue accordingly. Of
course the railway unions are oppos
ing any reduction In wages, asserting
this would be unnecessary were It not
for willful extravagnnce on the part
of the railroad managements. The
senate committee on Interstate com
merce plans an Investigation that shall
establish the truth or falsity of the
charges made by organized labor.
As bad been expected, President
Harding appointed Col. Jay J. Morrow
governor of the Canal Zone. He also
named Capt. S. K. W. Klttelie of the
navy governor of the Virgin Islands;
Hubert Work, president of the Amer
ican Medical association, first assist

and women.

Getting an Early Start by Indoor
Propagation Will Help Gardener
—Some Suggestions for Get

(Prepared by the United States Depart

tures of friendly competition which

Like these sports, skill, and practice
Increase the probability of winning

Gardening becomes a contest or

mess of peas or the first ripe tomatoes,
or who can raise the largest potatoes
or melons. There Is a pride, too, in ;
having some prize product exhibited j

Beating Jack Frost.
To. those who enter the game of
gardening find covet the honor of hav
ing the first ripe vegetables, garden
ing specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture offer some
suggestions for beating Jack Froft
and getting garden operations in mo
tion before the open season for plants.
At least four weeks' tline can be
saved, specialists say, for many crops,
like tomatoes and cabbage, by starting
the plants In the house. If operations
lire to be conducted on a small scale,
two or three cigar boxes filled with
soil and placed In a south window fur
nish a seed bed for starting a few
plants. For most home gardeners a
more desirable seed bed can be made
by placing good soli In a flat tray
three Inches deep and of convenient
size to fit In a well-lighted window
with southern exposure. A little care
will be necessary In keeping the tray
properly watered.
All garden plants are dependent
upon light for growth, and wher. start
ed In the window Immediately begin
to turn tl)elr heads toward the light
To overcome this the box In which
they are grown should be turned

ing.
around each doy. Out of doors they
■ pet the light from all sides, but In the
window they get It from only one side.
Transplanting the Seedlings.
When the seedling plants are big
enough to handle —that is, when they
have formed about two leaves in addi
tion to their seed leaves —other boxes
of soli should be provided and the
plants transplanted about two Inches
apart each way to give them plenty
of room. More window spare must be
provided, and It may be necessary to
build a stage and support one' box
above another. The same precaution*
as to watering and turning to get uni
form light will be necessary. On warm
days the boxes can be put outdoors.
When It comes to planting In the
garden, the plants grown In boxes arc
cut aparj, with a cube of soli around
the roots of each. Those grown In
pots are Jarred loose, turning the head
of the plant downward with the stem
of the plant between the first and sec
ond fingers of the left hand. Whejf
tin cans without bottoms are used
th* ball of earth Is pushed nearly oui
of }he can. The plant Is then set with
th* can sticking up around It as pro
taction against cutworms. After n
week or two the can Is lifted over th»
top of the plant. This practice is be
lng extensively followed by commer
clul gardeners In certain sections, wlu
by the aid of one of the little can-s;al
lng machines now on the market cul
off the tops anil the bottoms of thou
sstids of discarded empty enns for use
In transplanting plants. Some garden
, er-« dip the cans 10 a thin solution of
shellac to keep them from rusting.
One way of extending the garden
HtMson and getting ahead of neighbor
lng gardeners Is by starting several
early crops In a hotbed. In addition
to starting plants, the hotbed Is useful

STANDARDIZATION OF
WOOL GOING FORWARD
Resume of Work Shows Much
Progress in Past Year.
Tentative Grades as Promulgated Are *

Two Years' Duration —Not

(Prepared by the United States Depart

A resume of the wool standardiza
tion work of the bureau of markets, v
United States Department of Agricul
ture, shows that much progress ha*
been made since the tentative estab
lishment of definite wool grades Just
a year ago. Following the prepara
tion of a few sets for Its field agents
and the subsequent press announce
ment that tentative wool grades had .
been developed, requests for the sets
have been distributed among the bu
reau's lield agents, agricultural col
leges, wool-growers' associations, wool
dealers and manufacturers, textile au
thorities, and others Interested.
The tentative wool grades as pro
mulgated are. based on studies of
more than two years' duration. In
the course of this study thousands of
samples of wool submitted by deal
ers and manufacturers as their inter
pretations of the market grades were

examined. As the tentative grades,
before being put In final form, wers
submitted to some of the leading wool
authorities In the country for sugges
tions and criticisms, It Is believed that
little, if any, change will have to be
made when official standards are es
tablished.
During the past year Investigation
al and demonstratlonal work to test
the commercial utility of the grades
was conducted in 16 states. Before
meetings of woolgrowers and others,
demonstrations were given to show
the preparation of the fleeces and the
proper care and handling of the wool
! before Its shipment to market. In
I the states of Maine, New Hampshire,
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and Ar
kansas the several expert wool graV
ers engaged by the bureau graded ap
proximately 1,800,000 pounds of wool
In accordance with the tentative wool
grades. This work haß been looked *
upon so favorably by wool producers
that requests have been received for
a resumption of these activities dur
ing the coming season.
