Mothers each year treat COLDS EXTERNALIT WW Who. Vicks VapoRub was introduced, mothers especially were quick to appreciate it, because it is just rubbed on and cannot upset chil dren's delicate stomachs, as "dosing" is so apt to da Of course it is equally good for adults. Today, the whole trend of medical practice is away from needless "dosing," and the demand for Vicks has grown until it is neces sary to again raise the figures in the famous slogan. There are now "Over 20 Million Jars Used Yearly." VJ8JSS OI K KAI.EIKH LETTEK By X. L. SUipn Raleigh, Dec. SO.?With polities ad journed for the holidays and State of fices closed Raleigh has busied her self with administering to the needs of the sick and distressed within her gates the past week. The maimed, the halt, the blind, the sick and dis tressed-and little children whom San ta Claus was about to overlook were supplied with necessities of every kind, in a generous way. The spirit of the Lowly Naxarene predominated and many who participated in the charity program realise more than ever that "it is more blessed to give than to receive." Literally hundreds of needy families In Raleigh and Wake county were the happy recipi ents of Christmas baskets laden with holiday delicacies, shoes, clothing and fuel. It was a great job, done In a great way. All flood lights of the State Capitol were turned on Christ mas Eve and Christmas night and the stately old building "looked upon the scene" with evident satisfaction. "Old SL Nick" made his appearance even out at the State's Prison whose 400 Inmates gathered around a big Christmas tree, sang Yifle carols, and exchanged and received presents from their friends and relatives at home. The Christinas dinner con sisted of roast turkey, cranberry sauce, roast pork, potatoes and deli cacies of various kinds. Each occu pant of the Prison- received a bag of fruit aud candy, cigars and cigarettes, the institution furnishing the candy and fruit, the tobacco and smokes coming from the American Tobacco Company, the Liggett-Myers Tobacco Company, Loomis Goodwin and Mrs. T. P. Harrison, and prison workers who helped bring Christmas cheer to the unfortunates. Prisoners station ed at the thirteen camps in various sections of the State were also given a special dinner arranged by Super intendent Pou and Warden Honey cutt. The Raleigh poatofflce reported the Oaii&l rush of Christmas during the final days for mailing cards and packages around 200,000 pieces being distributed through the State and the Country from this point, and the sea son's greetings by the thousands were d'spatched through the telegraph of fices of the Western Union and postal companies here. With the exception of a few automobile oasualtlea, which brought sorrow to the families of the victims, nothing transpired to detract from Raleigh's cold, but "whlteless" Christmas concluding the season for 1929. Word has gone out from the Au tomobile License Bureau toi appre bend all people who drive cars with | old license plates after Janifary 1st, vhlch means that tomorrow la the last day on which the 1929 tags may be used. There are more than 500, 000 automobiles and trucks in the State and each of these mast carry a new license on Wednesday morning if drivers would proceed on the idea cf "safety first" At this writing lit tie more than half the car owners have provided themselves with the new tags and the State Highway Pa rol Is expected to start picking them tp right away. There are forty-six branch offices in the State where the new plates may be obtained and the Department Is taking no excuses for non-compliance with requirements this year. State employees back on the Job Thursday after their holiday vaca tiong claimed not to hare received very warm receptions.' The bulidings~ were cold and first aid was supplied with heavy coats. The heating de partment was appealed to and relief came quickly. Little business wins transacted by the departments dur ing the week, but practically all of tbe 1,600 "helpers," who went ont Saturday for a four and one-half day holiday were hack at their desks this morning. Governor Gardner, who headed the list of State employees who spent Christmas away from Ral eigh, has, also, "opened shop." His only official act performed during the holiday period was 'staying the execution" of Ray Evans, Richmond county negro, from December 27th to January 24th, thus releivlng prison officials who dreaded marring Christ mas week with an electrocution. A holiday fatality which hrmght 1? i^nieikh' Dunn and other towns In Eastern Carolina was an airplane crash at Dunn on Christmas Day which killed instantly "Al" Stewart, one of the best known flyers in North Carolina, Worth Stephenson and Hagh nialock. while stunt-flying over the -town -of Do an. The pilot test con trol of the machine in attempting to bring It out of a loop, the stcry goes, and crashed head first in a cotton field with fata! result to the three unfortunate occupants. The accident prompted the local director of the Cnrtls-Wright Plying Service to call attention to air service regulations that "it is directly against the law to stunt over a town, to stunt with a passenger, to stunt under 2.000 fee*., and to allow a passenger in a seat where there are controls." The state's prison, which is engag ed lnthe brick business, the laundry business, the printing business, re pair business, farming, making anto moblle tags, and helping build State Highways, is to report Its Inability to make enda meet and the Budget Bureau intimates that the institution is "In the hole" for operating expen ses between $130,000 and $140,000. The reasons assigned are smaller prices for crops, less Income from the hire of prisoners and increased prison population, por the past four years reported surpluses have ranged from a few thousand dollars to $120, 000. Result of the audit now In pro gress is to be made early next month it is said, . The North Carolina Odd Pellows Home at Goldsboro loses its capable and energetlp superintendent, Chas. H. Warren, to the State Department of Rehabilitation the change to be come effective January 1st This de partment reports that a total of 10$ physically and vocationally handi capped persons were restored to posi tions of economic independence dur ing the year and the class of service rendered appealed to Mr. Warren v. hose sympathies and capabilities especially fit him for the work- 88 cf those rehabilitated were males and elgbtqgn were females, seventy-live of them under thirty years of age. Nature of the disabilities corrected: leg 66, legs 14, arm 9, hand 2. eyes 4, and other 12. Nine of- the number had no previous schooling, 38 had education equivalent to from grade 1 to 6. 41 from grade 7 to 9, and 1$ from grade 10 to 12. Receipts for the privilege indicate that "North Carolina has gone hunt ng. license sales for the season hav Ing already passed the sum of $165, 000, and with all major hunting sea sons open In the State game officials expect the receipts to exceed last years collections which lacked a few thousand of reaching $200,000. Game of all kind la said to be plentiful and the holiday season la a popular perl, cd,apparently, to indulge In the sport. Oyster men of the State, who ply their trade In the eastern sounds, are reported by the North Carolina Fish eries Commissioner to be enjoying one of their most successful seasons.

Political prognoatlcators are wondering if *k campaign against the Senator, based entirely on his opposi tion to Governor Smith last year, would be advisable since "liquor andj the Pope" is to be the issue in Ala bama where Senator Heflln, ruled out of the primary tor a like offense, is running as an Independent with the backing of the Ku Kinz Klan. The Alabama Isaue is likely to "ease up" this way in which event the campaign of 1928 would be fought all over again, a thing the Democratic party can ill afford to experience. But the bitter enders appear to be restive and the fight may be on within another week. Meanwhile Senator Simmons is per mitting all attacks upon his position to pass unnoticed and is quietly spending the holidays at his home in Kewberne. The new prison physician at the Caledonia Farm Is Dr. C. L. Jenkins, of Raleigh, who succeeds Dr. B. R. Dodd, resigned. The choice was made by the Prison directors in a special meeting here on Frida* and Doctor Jenkins is expected to enter upon his duties immediately, drawing an an nual salary of $3,000. He was for merly on the staff of the State Hos pital for the Insane here, served as part-time health officer for Wake County and is said to be peculiarly fitted for the lob at Caledonia. T. A.
