INCREASE IS NOTED IN ACCIDENT DEATHS Raleigh, Nov. 17.—Deaths In North Carolina from homicides and automobile accidents show ed startling increases last month over totals In October. 1932, but suicides this October were only half as numerous as In the month a year ago. The North Carolina bureau of vital statistics today reported 74 deaths in automobile accidents In October, compared with 61 In the same month a year ago; 38 homi cides as compared with 31; but only 13 suicMes as against 25 In October. 1932. There were 166 violent deaths reported last month, railroad ac cidents claiming a toll of 11. air accident.s killing one person, fires killing 16. accidental gunshot wounds claiming eight and (frowning taking a toll of five. During October 2.399 deaths were reported In the state, a rate of 8.9 while births nearly trebled deaths with a total of 6,232 and a rate of 23.1. Cancer claimed more lives than any other disease, 143 per sons dying from this cause in October. Pulmonary tuberculosis claimed 1S6 lives, pneumonia 100, diphtheria 79. The diphtheria death total was 17 greater than the 62 in Octob er, 1932, and the prevalence of the disease over the state is running far ahead of last year at this time.

Representatives of the three states called on Secretary Ickes Thursday and no time 'was lost in argument or in speeches in fayor of the project. The proposed road would be a mountain crest route and it is understood that it would pass by Obids and Deep Gap- Secretary Ickes fintfe this idea of a scenic highway to follow the crest of the Blue Ridge and the Smoky mountains, a highway that would extend for hundreds of lofty miles with a right of way 200 feet, marvelously attractive in the aes thetic sense, and a plan'that should j afford employment for thousands of men now unemployed. President Is Fm* It President Roosevelt shares the -view and the enthusiasm of the member of his cabinet, and has made the constructive suggestion that it would be wise to provide camp sites at convenient intervals along the right of way, which would provide shelter, Md con tribute to the pleasure of visitors. Members of congress who par ticipated in the brief conference with Secretary Ickes Thursday in cluded Senators Bailey and Reyn olds, of North Carolina; McKellar, of Tennessee, and' Byrd, of Vir ginia; Congressmen Doughton, Weaver and Hancock, Goveror Pollard was a member of the large Virgiia delegation, while highway officials, representing both the federal and the state governments concerned, were present. Chair man Jeffress was detained at Ra leigh on account of illness, but Charles Ross, of the highway com mission, was present. Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who believes that the 110,000,000 that North Carolina is to receive for relief work will in sure employment during the next three months of between 60,000 and 70,000 people, was also present. The road would be 400 miles long and cost $16,000,000. States to Make Survey The understanding is that the states are to make the preliminary survey. This will probably cost I $100 a mile, but the states may employ their regular engineering force, with some additions to the force if this is deemed 'wise. The states -will also look after the -work of securing the option^ for the right of way, but inasmuch as a large portion of the prospective highway is included -within the public domain—the park lands— this should not, it is felt, prove such a difficult undertaking. Sena tor Byrd said his state could fur nish a hundred miles of the right of way now. The road will be constructed thru a mountainous, rough country, and for this reason it is estimated that the permanent survey and the plans that would be used by con struction contractors would cost possibly $600 a mile, but this would come out of the $16,000,000 or more which will be appropriated for building the road. Secretary Ickes is strong for the project, and he has shown himself both kind and liberal, but he is particular about one thing: He wants the road to be built where it will afford visitors the most pleas ure, and he is primarily concerned with such considerations as alti tude and grandeur. Senator Bailey remarked that if this was to be the primary aim of the administra tion, if height and beaut/ were the things desired the “road would be tall built In North Carolina.’’ Will B' Hunt For Scenery Secretary Ickes is indifferent about the exact route selected, he said, it could meander in and out. and across state lines, so long as the builders stuck to the idea of the most attractive scenic highway obtainable. Following the conference ■with Secretary Ickes a meeting was held in the office of Senator Bailey by members of the North Carolina delegation, when it was decided to Pisgsh National forest, thence to Kings Mountain National park aaS Chariotte, tiwnce to Guilford Bat- tieground National park, ihenee to WaAington over No. 29, or to Richmond and Yoiktown National monument ^ver regular route. Roads along suggested loop are all impro^ federal highways now, and need only to be ^dally desig nated as national, paric-to-park high-way system to attract thou sands of tourists over the entire route.” Miss Bumgarner Is Bride Of Mr. * Bryan Gilreath Ceremony Is Performed At H»c Home of Bride’s Parents; Out Of Town Guests Retail sales of Buick cars are re ported by W.

In a letter submitted to Sec retary Ickes by Chairman Jeffress there was contained the assurance that if this should be one of the requirements North Carolina would undertake to look after the main- tenance of the highway, when com- pleted. Secretary Ickes thinks the the ^cond place, dole feeding The rising costs of poultry feed and the rapidly widening spread between the price of eggs and chickens as compared with the price of this feed, does not permit of any laxity in management and planning in 1934. In addition to the rising costs of all poultry feed, the grower confronted with heavy storage holdings in both poultry and eggs. “There is no certainty that the prices of poultry products are go ing to increase sufficiently to com pensate the grower for the increas ed price he must pay for feed, therefore, he must make a care ful study of all factors entering into his production,” says Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry de partment at State colle^. ^ In the first place, Dearstyne points out that cheikens inherit the capacity to lay eggs therefore the grower wants to select hjs breed ing birds from those which lay the greatest number of eggs in a year. If production does not exist, it can not be put into the birds by hieavy feeding or excellent care, as im portant as these are. 'Where a grower does not have birds which produce eggs profitably, he should buy some baby chicks this -winter do produce stocks of both new and used government will be in po- poultryman.
