Harts«ir, thi nam ing of our beautiful new hotel fur - nished the subject of an interesting discussion. Without any hesitancy the D. A. R.'s did not favor naming the 119 W hostelry “Hotel Concord." The reason for this position / was to them clear. The nnme itself did n>t give that outstanding distinction that is desired for it. It would not sound - catchy to write “Hotel Concord, f.Yn eord,-N. Qi” A glance at the telephone directory reveals the fact that there are some thing like twenty-five places of busi ness labelled Concord this and Con card that, for instance: Cjnebrd Bakery, Concord Laundry. Concord Bakery, Concord Plumbing Cj., Con cord Screen Co. and many otiiers. The D. A. R.'s feel that (lie new hotel should carry an historical name; and it seemed practically unanimous amongst them that Hotel Stephen Ca barrus would give :ha splendid build ing that distinction tnat it deserves. We would come to th'uk of it and call it, in our conversation and writ ing. “The Stephen Cabarrus.” ' This would perpetrate in a fine maimer the patriotism of n distin guished North Carolinian, who, whin speaker of the House of Commons, , 17112. broke a tie vote that mndc pos sible the establishment of Cabarrus couajy. Many of us know this piece of history, but thcra. are many others , who do not, who, seeing tbe name of “The- Stephen Cabarrus,” will natur ally, if not from curiosity, ascertain tbe historical connection. The I). A. R.’s, if their feelings about this matter were correctly in terpreted, would respectfully request the directors, who have the namingof the hotel in charge, to consider the suggestion that it "be named “The Stephen Cabarrus” —there is more in a name than sometimes appears on riie surface.

USE PENNY COLUMN—IT PAYS THB CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE POISON GASOLINE now SAFE FOR SALE AGAIN Drastic Regulations That Moat Be Obeyed, in Using Leaded Fact* New York World. Tetra-ethyl gasoline, the leaded "fuel withdrawn from sale last spring after noted scientists had denounced iO as a public health menace, was found yesterday by an independent inevsti gating committee, appointed through United States Public Health Service, to be safe to use, bnt only when the strictest regulations govern its dis tribution. I| will-be placed on the market again shortly. The committee composed of seven leading scientists in various univer sities, made a preliminary report to Surgeon General Cumming in Wash ington and asked authority to con tinue its investigations on the ground that if use of the fuel becomes wide spread, conditions may arise “which would make its use more of a hazard than would appear Jo be the case from this iiiYCStigation.” Tbe committee’s investigations have been going on since last June, when it came into being following a general conference called by General Cum ming. This conference came after The World had called attention edi torially-'and in its news columns to statements of such noted scientists , as Yandell Henderson, of Yale, that sale of the fuel constituted a Pljblic health meance, and after The , Morld exclusively reported that scien tists at Columbia University had found the fuel dangerous, and two of them had become afflicted with lead absorp tion while investigating. Shortly after this publication and prior to the conference, sale of the fuel was stopped by the Ethyl Gaso line Corporation, No. 25 Broadway, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey. In declaring the fuel safe under proper regulations, the committee made no effort to minimize the ex treme danger in the manufacture of tetra-ethyl lead itself, which, it is charged in suits, killed five persons at Bayway, N. J., and three at Deep water, Dei. Its members individu ally state emphatically that the fuel, which is matte of one part tetra-ethyl lend to one-thousand parts gasoline, must be used with care and thnt the public "can and must be safeguarded.” -1 PAIR REUNITED IN THE COUNTY HOME Old Man ami Wife Happy Despite Hard Knocks Handed Them By Fate. " Winston-Salem, Jan. 20.—Acting upon a letter received a few days ago’ by the Forsyth County Welfare Department, C. A. Watts, member of the department, began an investiga tion which brought out some facts ■ that would furnish the plot, for a human interest film or written story worth the while of any citizen. The investigation finally ended in a dra matic sceue, uniting a husband and wife at the Forsyth County Home, after separation of about two years, thus presenting a finale that would -stigjthe enthusiasm of any dramgtic Tpe letter received by the . Wel fare ( Department told of an oid man, 72 years of age, who lived by himself in an old shack in th? hills far back in the western part of Forsyth Coun ty. It told of the meagre living that this old man was eking qpt. of the maunar in which his neighbors aided in every way possible, but because of their circumstances could uot care for him as he should be. His wife had been sent to the county home al most two years before, and before she left had pleaded with her hus band to go with her—but all in vain, he r efused. He would live by himself in the old shack in which he and his wife had resided for 30 years. The writer of the letter stated that, the neighbors were doing all they could for the old gentleman, but they felt ’ that he should be takeu to the " county home, where he could be nde- ‘ quatcly taken care of in his old age. and they asked the co-operation of the welfare department in placing • the old man in the county home al though he had rejected all such former offers. Mr. Watts succeeded in persuad ing the old man to take the long und arduous journey through the hills to , the county home. When they came in sight of the . home. Mr. Watts pointed it out to the old maty. , “Oh,’' he exclaimed, “I am so • glad. I want to hold my wife's hand,” and he ehokbd back a sob and wiped the teprs from his eyes with a hand that trembled. [ The superintendent of the home , met them at the door and welcomed them in.
