' Political writ ers "in Washington have [ibinteit out for the past ten days that the new Presi dent is very anxious to get in the good graces of the Southern people, and there is every reason to believe that this true. In the'last campaign Mr. Coolidge was the Republican picked to campaign in the South. He spoke in a number of Southern States, including North Caro lina. and it is but right to state that he made a fine impression. There was nothing of special importance to his ad dresses.' or to the manner in which they were delivered, but the man himself made a favorable impression, and Mr. Coolidge noticed that. He is trying to revive the interest that was then arous ed in him. He wants the vote of the South in the next Republican conven tion, and he hopes to get some votes from the South in case he is able to get the Republican nomination next year. Mr. Coolidge has just appointed for mer Congressman Slemp. of Virginia, as his private secretary. While he was in Congress Mr. Slemp was one of the most influential Republicans of the South, and Mr. Coolidge knew that. Mr. Slemp al ways! lined up with white Republican or ganizations in the South, and for that reason he should prove very popular with most of the white Republicans who live in the Southern States. His popu larity naturally would be an aid to the President he is to serve as private secre tary. The appointment of Mr. Slemp will take into the office the first Southerned that has ever served as pri vate secretary to a Republican President, we believe. • CONTROLLING TYPHOID FEVER HERE. While typhoid fever has not been ep idemic by any means in the State this year, in several counties quite a large number of cases have been reported. The State Board of Health during the past several months has-been centralizing its energies on the fight against typhoid and malaria, and the campaign, generally speaking, has been successful. In Cabarrus County there have been but few cases of typhoid fever reported, and so far as known to the health de partment of the county, no deaths have resulted from thcVdisease. During the past several weeks more than 3,000 persons in the county have been vacci nated against the disease and ‘no one who has been vaccinated has contracted the disease. A number of cases have been reported since July first, and al though in each instance the persons con tracting the disease had failed to take the vaeciue, physicians have been suc cessful in saving the lives of those suf fering. Most of the persons afflicted with the disease are negroes, and in addition to refusing to take the vaccifie. had been living in unsanitary and unhealthy con ditions. > ' ________ The Maxwell-Morrison argument seems to have ended at last, and. both seem to have been right in their conten tion.

(By the Associated Press. Asheville, N. C., Aug. 16. —Unless im mediate steps are taken to prevent the rapid deforestration of the timber lands in the Southern Appalachian and south eastern states, these states will find it necessary to import timber with which to carry on their woodworking industries from far western stntes at greatly in creased costs, declared Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, director of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey iu an address today before the members of the Southern Sash. Door and Millwork Man ufacturers’ Association, in convention here. The problem of conserving the forest lands of these states confronts the feder al, state, county and municipal govern ments and private owners of timber lands, but it rests principally with the state, county ami municipal governments, which should pass laws designed to pre vent forest fires and improper lumbering and cattle grazing methods and should establish large government owner for ests areas in order to provide steady lum ber yields for years to come. Dr. Pratt said. This is practicable and can be made profitable, he added. “At the present time there are only 15 timber exporting states: that is. states that are producing more timber than they are using," he said. "Os these, one state is in the northeast—Maine: eight in the south—Virginia, West Vir ginia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Miss- Washington. Idaho. California, Montana and Arizona. Several of these states are now importing almost as much lumber as they are exporting. It is estimated at the present rilte of cutting that with iug a few years there will be only three exporting states: namely, Oregon. Wash ington and California.” "Sixty-one per cent, of the timber in the United States is now west of the issippi, and six in the west —Oregon. Orelit Plains, Dr: Pratt asserted, and un less provisions are made for growing tim ber in The regions east of the Great Plains, the future supply of lumber for the eastern states will have to come from the Pacific Coast 44 tales, which will mean greatly increased lumber prices on account of the heavy freight tolls. In reviewing the trend of the lumber supply during past years the speaker pointed out that "the once •scorned ‘old field pine,’ cut as small as six to eight inches, is snatched np at prices reflecting the eagerness of the market." In 1921 this type of timber sold for 9 a thous and feet loaded on the ears, but recently it has been bringing $22. he said. ' “Spruce, once thought almost inex haustible, used to be specified by con tractors because carpenters disliked working with “inferior woods, "but now the use of spruce is growing more and more exceptional on account of its spe cies becoming exhausted, the distances necessary to haul it longer, and the prices higher. Dr. Pratt said. He drew many other examples of how. on account of the decreasing supply of the more desirable woods, timber of inferior quality is being used of necessity. “But ;{: regular supply of the better woods c:ui be maintained if proper steps of forest preservation are taken, he said. INDEPENDENTS MEET THE CUT IN GASOLINE Feileral Prosecutor in Chicago Says the Threat of Law Brought About the Slashes in Prices. Special to The New York Times. Chicago, Aug. 14.—While Chicago motorists today hastened to take advan tage of 15.4-eent gasoline—the lowest price since 1915—authorities of states not affected by the drastic 6.6 a gallon cut ordered Monday by the Standard Oil Company of Indiana opened a new “gas war" of their own. A steady stream of ears moved on Chicago filling stations shortly after 7 a. m., and there was no slack hour dur ing the day. Word had been passed that the cheaper fuel price could not last for long; that all the oil companies, 'particularly the independents, were los ing money on every gallon sold. While a reduction of only 5 cents a gallon had been authorized by the inde pendent organizations, in the anticipa tion of Standard's cuts, practically every filling station in the city today dropped to the Standard's price of 15.4 cents. It was estimated that the new price will mean a saving of at least SIOO,OOO a. day to Chicago motorists alone. - Reports from all sections covered by the Standard’s order indicated that in dependent companies have universally fallen in lipe with the new price. It was not the competition iu gasoline selling instituted by > the Governor of South Dakota that brought about a gen eral reduction in the retail prices of the motor fuel from 22* cents a gallon to 15.4 in Chicago today, but a threat and a promise by the United States Depart ment of Justice, according to a state ment made by District Attorney Edwin A. Olson. Overproduction brought about a re cent statement by big oil companies that they would close their refineries during August to keep the prices from \ Bringing, UP ♦X* D AU.

"The total forested area in the Southern Appalachian and Southeastern States is now 240,000,000 acres. "To en sure an adequate supply of timber for the southern states this laud or an equal area should be kept iu forest growing trees.” he said. "The federal government has acquir ed about 1,433,279 acres and will ac quire perhaps several million acres, but it is not probable or perhaps desirable that tlie federal government should in crease its acreage . much beyond this amount.” Dr. Pratt said, expressing the opinion that it is now time for the states, counties and municipal govern ments of the south to purchase and main tain alqpg modern forestration lines la£e areas of timber laud.” "In the South there are at least 125,- 000.000 acres of cutover laud that can he purchased at from $1 to $lO an acre and these lands can be protected from fire and grow another crop of timber in 30 to SO years according to the location and type of Dr. Pratt declared. Dr. Pratt estimated that n state own ed forest area of 300.000 acres could be made to bring a net profit of over $6.- 150.000 in 50 years, basing his estimate on an original cost of $1,500,000, a fifty year interest charge of $3,750,000, a fifty year maintenance cost of $900,000 and a revenue from the sale of the tim ber at the end of 50 years of from $12,- 000,000 to $22,000,000. Dr. Pratt said he did not advocate the practice of forestry on lands imme diately available for agricultural pur poses and that lie was not in favor of tax exemptions or bonuses as an incen tive for any one organization in the bus! iness of growing trees. “If the states will begin to purchase cutover lands," he said, "and establish slate forests, protect these from fix'*', and pass adequate legislation in regard to the protection of all forest lands from fire, co-operate with land owners in the cost of the protection of their lauds from fire and pass legislation providing for a sane, just and equitable policy for the taxation of forest lands, it is believed' that then many land owners will co-op erate with the state and nation in main taining an adequate area of land in for- The total forest areas in acres of some of the lumber producing states of the south were given by Dr. Pratt as fol lows : North Carolina, 19,600.000: South Carolina 12.000,000; Georgia 22,300,000: Florida 20.000.000: Kentucky 10,000,000: Tennessee 15.IXKX000 ami Alabama 20.- ■60Q.000. '’Nortji Carolina, according to a table of foresL#rcas, quoted by Dr. Pratt, is die those named that main tains a state forest or park and North Carolina's forest possessions, according to the table, are limitted to 1.564 acres. Municipally owned forests in North Car olina embraces 23.000 acres, according to Dr. Pratt. . National forest areas by acres in the same states mentioned were given as fol lows: North Carolina 313,075; South Caroli na 18.454; (reorgia 134.095; Florida 317,511; Kentucky None; Tennessee 213,425; Alabama 65,157. ’ going to pieces. Having in mind the painful experiences of American wheat growers, who are complaining that they must sell their product below cost be cause of overproduction. Mr. Oslen ad vised the oil refiners that if they vio lated the United States laws by artifi cially controlling prices prosecution would result. The result was a reduction in price that immediately followed the action by Governor McMaster. of South Dakota, who purchased a supply of gasoline at gasoline in Chicago to sell in his state at \l6 cents. “When the law of supply and demand is allowed to go its natural course, prices take care of themselves," said Mr. Olson. “In every industry where there is overproduction prices natprally fall. The • farmer has had occasion to learn his lesson and has taken his medicine' without resorting to artificial means. That's also true of till: oil business. “There has been an overproduction of oil for a long time and millions of dollars a day have been grabbed off by that industry. The deluge from new wells became so great that it was a ease of either violating the laws of the Unit ed States by unofficially controlling proy duotion, or of reducing prices. The latter course being chosen, this office has nothing further to say.” “The 15-eent price in Chicago will re main just as long as competition make* it necessary," was the statement made orally R. W. Stewart, chair man of the board of the Standard Oil Company t>f Indiana. “It will be 15.4 cents or thereabouts until somebody wakes up to the fact that ‘gas’ is being sold below the cost of production," said another oil com pany official.

GRADY Plumbing and Heating Contractors 11 Corbin St Office Phone S34W Mothers of Famoca Men The Mother of Robert Southey. “Never wits an\ human- being blessed with a sweeter temper, or a happier dis position." So wrote Robert Southey. Pote Laureate of England, concerning his mother. He was a poet, a histori an, -a lover of books who filled his house with a huge library, a scholar—but he looked upon his mother as one of the most remarkable persons whom he had ever known. Poor woman! She saw very little of the childhood of Robert Southey. Margaret Hill did not marry a fortune when she married Robert Southey, the father of the poet. Her husband had high hopes of giving her everything that she needed, but h\s work as a linen dcapef dill not succeed, and so, when little Robert was only three years bid. his mother was obliged to send him asay to a more prosperous relative. Her half-sister, Miss Taylor, brought up the boy, aud made a deep influence upon him, but the mother remained the idol and the ideal. No one ean steal away tlie love that belongs to a mother. Dis tance'and years ..may separate, bat that live is undying.' Os "her Robert Southey wrote also “She had an excellent understanding, and a readiness of apprehension which I have rarely known surpassed. In quickness of capacity, in the kindness of her nature, and in that kind of moral magnetism which wins the affections of all within its sphere. I never knew her equal!” That is indeed high praise to come from one who knew many men and many women who were noted as the brightest people in all England. Mar garet Hill Southey, .in the little that she saw of her son, impressed herself upon him in n way that no one else could do. A mother is indeed the richest of all human beings.

Air compressed and mixed with fuel in a combustion chamber would be projected through n nozzle at the rear of the aero plane. and the reaction to its discharge would drive the machine through the air. Though it is calculated that high speed might possibly be obtaiued through this method of jet propulsion, the mechanism would hi' heavy, and experiments so far show that the consumption of fuel would be in excess of that required for ordi nary propeller drive.
