Dun’s Trade Review. New York, Sept. 23. —Dun’s to morrow will say: Some additions to recent gains in activity, especially in retail channes, have come with the change in sea sons, although variations in the vol ume of business have not diminished appreciably. It is evident that po tential requirements remain heavy in mady lines. Yet immediate needs are not generally pressing, and buying is not hastened by apprehensions of a scarcity of supplies or by ns.ng prices- Fewer advances occurred in wholesale quotations this 1 week and declines predominated outside the foodstuffs group, with a check to the upturn in hides and cotton goods and some further easing in steel products.

Surprising its followers by playing brilliantly against M. P. C. I. last Friday, the Concord high school eleven settles down to a week of earnest training this afternoon in preparation for the invasion by the Salisbury high school aggregation next Friday at . Webb field. Pre-season dope pointed to an unimpressive high school team here, but Coaches Count Leggett and W. O. Green have done some remarkable coaching, moulding a fighting outfit from mostly untested material. Coach Green has put in uniform, it appears at this time, one of the strongest line? known to high school football in Con cord. The Cadets of M. P. C. I. were unable to penetrate the forward de fense of Concord, the lads, such as Ben Parks and “Red” Utley, showing their larger enemies that “the bigger they are, the harder they fall.” The whole Concord line performed excel lently. The Concord backfield men were a trifle sluggish in Friday's exhibition, but promise to snap out of it this week. Salisbury, the dope comes here, has a strong eleven this season. The local back are driving hard to be in form to rip the opposing bulwark into threads. The game at Webb field Friday will begin at 3:30 o’clock. FINAL RITES HELD THIS MORNING FOR MRS.

From time immemorial picturesqti' smugglers of Europe have attracted the attention and challenged the tal ents of novelists, painters and musi dans. The most famous, perbaps. were those who plied their dangerous trade through the mountain passes between France and Spain. In Russia today a bigger business is done in a swifter way. The miHiern smugglers along that lengthy frontier have used the latest facilities. They use airplanes instead of donkeys. A passage is made across a wild, abandoned section of the line and a landing effected in a remote field or plain- Bootleggers there take up the matter of disposing of the goods, while the flyer returns for more. The smugglers for the moment make their biggest money in per fumes.. The bolshevik government trying to establish home industries, and also endeavoring to discourage luxuries, put a prohobltive duty of 1000 per cent on perfumes. A bottle of this article costing $1.50 at Paris will bring S2O in Russia. Women are the same the world over; they want what they want regardless of the cost. Another profitable line for the smugglers is shoes. An ordinary pair of shoes will sell for sl9 in Russia. While these, too, may be brought by air the smugglers hit on an ingenious scheme for getting them across tue border in the ordinary way. The cus toms officer looking into the case of shoes would notice that all of them were for the left foot. “Samples,” ex plained the agent complacently. The officer would scratch his head and let the strange shipment through. Later there would come across anoth er part of the line, in the same way. a lot of shoes all for the right foot. Strofurzt Light In the World* The Pathfinder. What i« claimed to be the meat pow erful searchlight in the world has just been dedicated at Charlottesville. Va. The mammoth light is mounted on the roof of a local hotel and will be used to illuminate \\uticello. the historic home of Thomaß Jefferson. Miss Carrie Smith, the winnar ot a local popularity contest, periorni-u the official act of dedication by breaking a bottle of champagne on the searchlight. The dedication took place during the sessions of the In stitute of Public Affairs at the Uni vesity of Virginia. According to the General Engineer ing Management Corporation, of New York, the Thomas Jefferson Light, for it has been so christened, is so strong that it will produce the ef fect of sunburn tw r o miles away and will blister the skin of a person standing at a distance of 1000 feet. It has a beam of 1,385.000.000 can dlepower and is said to be five times jnore powerful than any light ever used before. In the beam of tins i»gnt it might be possible for a man 50 miles away to read a newspaper with out the aid of any other light. Under favorable circumstances the beam of the Jefferson light wil’ be visible at a distance of nearly 1000 miles. The general light should be visible on a clear night for 200 miles. Tlir homes of five former presi dent* of th« United States will be il luminated from time to time oy tt»e searchlight on the hotel at Charlottes ville. Tney are Monticel’o; Mont pelier, Madison's home at Orange; Ashe Lawn, Monroe’s home near Charlottesville; Pine Knot, Roose velt’s hunting lodge, and 31 west Range, where Woodrow Wilson lived while he attended the University of Virginia.

Dr. Leavel's description of the region near Fuchow, not far from the Tropic of Cancer, where he has lived for the past fifteen years, clear ly showed the need of many mis sionaries and large sums of money for that region of starvation, disease and ignorance. There, where a child is born every minute, where the only domestic produce is rice, where sick peopie often take the fantastic prescriptions of the Chinese quack doctors because no others are available, where in credible ignorance prevails because the teachers are so few there, said Dr. Leavel, is where the Christian people of America should partly repay their debt to the Supreme Being by provid ing missionaries and funds that His words might be taught. In his appeal on behalf of the Chinese people through the Baptist church* the foreign missionary gave vivid incident.*? that had impressed themselves indelibly on his mind- His message rang with the spirit of Christ and of the grave i.eeus of China from Christian America.

I knew then that, whether or not I could lick all the men in tn world. I was champion of James J Corbett. Him I was sure I could beat. Going back to the ship T licked a lac who spoke ill of Sul’ivan.

He left FEDERAL FUNDS ARE NOT TO BE WITHHELD Money For Specific Purposes Will Be Forthcoming, Says Statement by the Comptroller General. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel By J. C. BABKERVILL Raleigh, Sept. 24.—Federal funds approprited for specific purposes in various states, such as for aiding in highway construction, vocational ed ucation, maternity and infancy and allied projects, not uu.y cannot be he.d back by the comptroller general, : hut in the case of North Carolina, such actiou was never intended. This faet was brought to attention here with the pub.ication in the Unit ed Stales Daily this week of an ex tensive s.atement by Comptroilei Gen eral McCar , in which he reverses his previous ruing. This statement ai .*o makes it dear, however, that on'y three states, Tennessee. Louisiana aud Montana would have been affected, ev en had the previous ruling been a.- lowed to stand. Thus the attitude of state officials here that North Carolina did not owe the federa. government any large sum? of money off “Indian War Bonds," and certainly no more than was due the state in claims from the govern ment and that even if it did, this was no basis for the comptroller general to withhold federa funds appropriat ed for cooperative purposes, has beeu curtained by his latest ru.ing. But in addition it has been learned that even if the State of North Car olina does owe the United States gov ernment the sum of $146,140, which it claims is due on old bonds issued between 1835 and 1860, once a part of the Indian trust fund, that the United States owes the State of North Caro.ina $159,566.85. as of January 28, 11)23 —which at present, with ac crued interest would total more than $200,000 —growing out of the war of 1812. Thi« does not take into consid eration claims for cotton belonging to the State of North Carolina and to ( individual, seized during the Civil War. It is estimated that about 150.- , 000 bales of cotton were seized at that ( time. , Thus the state would seem to have va id c’aims against the federa. gov ernment for considerably more than the government cairn- the state owe* it. thus neutralizing any claims it | might seek to enforce.
