Automatic, smokeless heat ers, using oil, gas or coke, are replacing old type furnaces in thousands* of progressive homes and factories. It has * been found that smokeless fuels, aside from their cleanli ness, are the most economical and efficient. When automatic heating be comes general we will be saved billions yearly, in health, prop erty and better living and working conditions. Labor saving devices for the housewife are just beginning to command the attention they should. Few appliances save her more labor than those which eliminate the handling of solid fuels.

MONEY TO LAST INDEFINITELY! — i Better Paper and Printing ' Goes Into United States ! Notes. ! ! Washington,. D... C. The mystery of how long a dollar will last has been solved. Tech nicians of the United States 1 Bureau of Standards and th? ; Bureau of Engraving have re- 1 vealed, according to a recent announcement, that currency. of all denominations from the lowly one-dollar bill to the thousand-dollar role will find its way into more pocketbooks to-! day than ever before. How long it stays is a mat ter for the individual, the ex-i perts point out, but there is official assurance that with the high quality rag paper now used it will remain in circula tion indefinitely. The longevity has been brought about as the result of exhaustive tests of various papers and their fiber strength made in the Bureau's labora tories. | ! Records for the past year show that the quantity of pap er money redeemed because it is broken or torn has been re duced until it is almost negligi ble. The only way to get a bill out j of circulation now, experts I agree, is to stain it with grease and dirt until its figures be-1 come illegible. And even this' problem will be solved in time I it is believed through use of various materials for protect.- ; ing the surface with sizing, made from animal glue and ( other substances. The exhaustive research into paper qualities is also being ex tended into the business field where the same laboratory in vestigations are in progress to determine the lasting qualities of paper. They have already disclosed ' thdt a condition with serious possibilities has been set up through the use of improper papers by both governmental 1 and business agencies. Hecords only a few years old have been Sound in such a bad state of deterioration because the>y were transcribed on wood pulp paper that the Paper Us ers Standardization Bureau has been organized to impress upon the country the importance of using the right paper for the job. !

ARE DAN(j£*.OljS •*» The Fellow Who Pones Along | In Middle of Road With His "Sweetie's" Arms About His i Neck Is Greatest Nuisance. I Raleigh, July 30.—The so ' called "Hearse Driver" that I pokes along in the middle of ; the highway at about ten to fifteen miles an hour, usually j with a "sweetie" with her arms j about his neck, is one of the most dangerous drivers the highway patrol has to contend with, according to Captain C. D. Farmer, commander of the State Highway Patrol, speak ing before the American Busi i ness Club here. ; i "These 'hearse drivers,' as • we call them, are one of the , biggest nuisances we have to . contend with, but we are grad . ually getting them educated to I either keep up with the traffic . or get off the roads." said Cap . tain Farmer. , "The reason these slow driv ers are dangerous is that they cause a long string of cars to . back up behind them until some )| of them get tired and start I cutting out to get around, which ( requires excessive speed and . endangers oncoming traffic. "So we are instructing our I patrolmen to stop these slow , drivers and ask them, court eously of course, to please keep . up a normal speed or get off the .'main highway where they will . not hold up traffic." j The impression that some .people have that the highway , j patrolmen are "speed cops" and ( are out laying speed traps in ; order to catch motorists is all , wrong, according to Captain . Farmer, who pointed out that the patrolmen have specially , been instructed to make no ar rests for speeding, unless suoh f speeding constitutes reckless driving and endangers other traffic. 1 If a driver has an open > stretch of road, with no other - cars on it and he wants to run 1 70 or 75 miles an hour, it is t his own funeral and we will not - bother him," said Captain Farmer. "But if a driver is - endangering other traffic, and even doing only forty miles an • hour, we will stop him. We will r also arrest drunken drivers any - time of day or night, at any 1 speed, since they are always ,t I potent(ul danger." i ' New Physician At Sandy Ridge i j. Dr. W. E. Braswell, formerly - of Greensboro, was a visitor - here from Sandy Ridge Mon , day. Dr. Braswell has located • at Sandy Ridge for the prac ' tice of medicine.

I Several fields of Stokes coun t ty have become infected with t the germs that cause Black ) Root Rot of tobacco. This ' germ attacks the roots of the » young stalk especially in cool i damp weather causing the roots i to rot. This will prevent the I growth of the tobacco, and . sometimes causes the plant to J die. This disease is apt to ap - pear year after year in the • same spot in the field, and the disease is likely to spread to • new spots in the field each year i I that the field is planted in to ) bacco. The only way to control this > disease is to quit growing to il bacco on infected fields for a I >• period of at least five years. As beans, cowpeas, soy beans, - and cotton are also subject to ,• this disease, none of these 3 crops should be grown on the i j infected fields as they will also i t spread the disease. Limed II land is more subject to this dis liease than is unlimed land. ! Therefore, I would not recom r mend the use of lime on fields v infected with this disease un less the field is to be discon -3 tinued for the use of tobacca. j My attention was first called 11 to this trouble by Dr. Tillotson, iof Surry county, who become alarmed at the spread of this trouble over a field on his farm near King. Samples of the stunted tobacco were taken to Raleigh, where they were ex amined by the Plant Patholog ist at State College, who iden tified the disease. It is recommended that in fected fields be used for pas ture, small grains, winter crops and corn for a period of five years or more until the dis ease has disappeared. J. E. TREVATHAN, County Agent.
