I.—Metho dist young people, 5,(X)0 strong, went into session here last night with Southern Methodist leaders to outline a campaign to assist the youth of the present generation in knowing the mind of Christ in rela tion to their own needs. The meeting—the culmination of plans initiated two years ago—was organized as the first Methodist. Young People's Contention and was attended by delegates from virtually every church in Southern Method ism. The sessions will continue through Sunday. "Youth asks that leadership be in tellectually honest,” Bryan Hall, of Corpus Christi, Texas, said in open ing the session from the young peo ple's standpoint. Science and its dis coveries are not undermining our faith, but the spiritual force of Christianity has not been keeping pnoe with material progress. Our lives are the materials from which new ideals are to be realized. "May we discover at* this conven tion some world problems, that will lift us out of provincialism into a J vital experience. Youth asks for a real share in the big projects for the . Kingdom of Qod ou earth. Duty to God has been too long a question of attending worship add placing a few dimes in the collection plate." Miss Catherine Cobb, of Nashville, Tenn., born in Monterey, Mex-, and the daughter of a former Methodist missionary, spoke on “what youth gives.” “It is much easier to defend one’s loyalty to the truth of Jesus Christ than in the face of the world to defend attendance upon and active service in the institution which He founded” she said. “It has hurt the pride of youth to fiud that it is frequently difficult to give loy alty to the church as an organized institution. Only when youth comes forward unhindered by age-old pre judices, having no ancient quarrels to remember, only then have com mittees been able to work together. -“Thus it is that the life of youth 4ft has manned the mission fields, show ing the wny of the Ohrist-like life to other nations. It is youth’s joyous service. Bide by side with those who are doing the world’s work youth has worked, putting Christ at the center, working in business for serv ice rather than profit, in social life for contentment rather than rest ltssnesß, in the church for Christ rather than for denomination, and In the home for unity and peace,” The convention is sponsored of ficially by tfie boards of education, missions. Sunday School, publica tions, Epworth League, Women’s Missionary Council, and lay activities of the Methodist Episcopal Church, SF” South.

All Western North Carolina Is Riding Crest of Trading Wave Stop In Any Town and You Will Hear About Real Estate Deals by the Hundreds.—Bridgewater Still Badly In Need of Water. W. M. SHERRILL Editorial Correspondent Marion, Jan. I.—ls you want to hear about real estate deals by the , hundreds you don’t have to go to , Florida. Just step from the train or your auto in any western North Car olina towp. start a conversation with a local citizen nnd you will hear data and figures that will be astounding, i MeDowell County, of which Marion is the county seat, is feeling the real I estate boom which struck Western North Carolina some time ago and i lneri who formerly were considered l j “land pour" are now selling rugged mountain tops and rocky slopes for sums that run into the millions. A *50(1,000 deal is pending in this town now and tonight in a local hotel I met a man who came here to see about some "lost” property that his father purchased years ago. And McDowell County has some of the most picturesque lands in the "Land of the Sky.” Marion is not as high as Black Mountain or Ashe ville. or Hendersonville or some of the other cities in the heart of the "dirt boom” but just the same it is close enough to the mountains .to be attractive to the speculator in moun tain lands nnd the comity dirt lis changing hands rapidly. In a conversation with the Register of Deeds of the county I learned that the real estate transfers have become so numerous and so consistent that lie is three weeks behind with his work. Lawyers up here don’t spend all of their time in the court house or in offices. They arc lenders in the trading of lands and of course in this work they are joined by mcfcliants. doctors and other business men who see a chance now to realize on prop erty that heretofore appealed to them purely from a scenic standpoint.

I have p been told here that the lake is nothing like normal and that only snows or very heavy rains can relieve the pres -1 ent crisis.

Chaliapin, now a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, nnd who is to tour America at ttie head of his own com pany next spring. Mention of the almost fabulous salary he now re ceives prompted M. Chaliapin to tell an amusing story of how lie was once tricked into singing for nothing. It appears that he was applying at the post office in a certain conti nental town for a registered letter, hut although he produced documents to prove his identity, the chief clerk was obdurate, and declined to deliver up file precious packet. At length, however; lie relented to the extent of remarking: “Well, you may be Chaliapin, as you say, but on the other hand you may not. If you are Chaliapin just sing and prove it." As there seemed nothing else for it, Chaliapin complied and sang a well-known air. At the conclusion of his song the great singer was warm ly applauded by the assembled staff. “Thank you, M. Chaliapin,” said .the clerk, as he handed over the let ter. “Os course we knew you all right, but it seemed too good a chance to miss.” CONFESSES TO THEFT OF MONEY IN BANK Guy L.

Prices at this time are substan tially higher than they were a year ago, Mr. Green declared. “The pres ent level,” he said, “has been main tained by timely curtailment of pro duction and the regulation of Opera tion in accordance with the volume of demand.” ' Mr. Green added that the present stocks of yarn in America are at a low level and that lie was unable to forecast how long this anticipated pe riod of spinning activity will continue, but said it would “probably last sev eral months at least.” Riuging the Fog Bells. London, Jan. 2.-—An automatic fog siren recently installed in a French lighthouse has been hailed as one of the greatest and latest of modern in novations. It is operated by the hu midity of the air. But a much more wonderful and up-to-date appliance is already in operation at the entrance to Dublin harbor. Here the obscur ing of a light by fog actually causes a warning bell to ring. The light in the lamphouse is so arranged that its rays fall on to a sensitive “electric-photo cell’* in an other lighthouse on the other side of the chanuel. When the beam has been obscured to a certain point by fog, the reduction of light falling on the cell causes the bell to ring loud ly. An invention of an Irish engi neer, it is riie only machine of its kind operating in the world. Past Year Best Y r et For Greensboro Building. Greensboro.

HELD HIGH POSTS I WITH THE ARMY (Was Quartermaster of the Base Sections of St. Naz j aire, France, During Part of the World War. Washington. Jan. 2.—Major Gen eral William A. Hart, quartermaster general of the army, died early today at Walter Heed Hospital here. He was operated on two* weeks ago for what it was feared was a can- i eero.us growth. For a time he had appeared to be convalescing. He was in his G2nd year. General Hart was appointed quar termaster general in August. 1022, j on the retirement of Major General Harry L. Rogers. General Rogers died in Philadelphia but a short time ago. after having preferred charges against General Hart alleging im proper methods of procuring his ap pointment. The charges were found at the war department not to war rant any proceedings. General Hart was a native of Win ona. Minn., but was appointed to Military Academy from North Da* kota. graduating in IKKB. He served as an infantry and calavry officer un til 1000 when he became a captain in the commissary department. He was transferred to the quartermaster corps on the consolidation of the sup ply and pay services of the army in 3012. During the World War he was quartermaster of the base sections at St. Nazaire, France, and after the war was supply officer at Boston, San Francisco and deport quarter master at Norfolk before he came to Washington for duty. 1 General Hart was unrifarried and had no near relatives. Since he was taken ill his senior assistant, Brigadier General John B. Bellinger, has been acting quartermaster gen eral. The other two assistants are Brigadier Generals Alfred C. Dalton and Mosefi '(?. 55alhiski. - The quartermaster corps has been beset by factional differences ever since the World War, and it would cause little surprise if Secretary Davis of the war department, inline with his announced purpose to compel teamwork in every branch of the army, recommended appointment as quartermaster general of some officer outside the corps itself.
