Charles Mason reports that Mason & Gardner have sold for Pinehurst, In corporated, to Arthur S. Higgins, the building, lot on Midland road adjoin ing the Batson property, on which Mr. ! Batson is finishing a large and impos ing brick house. Mr. and Mrs. Hig gins have been coming to Pinehurst for years and Mr. Higgins is an en thusiastic Tin Whistle member. They ' are planning to build on the new lo- j cation, and are already preparing to beautify the grounds. The presump tion is that the section there will de velop rapidly down toward the Mc Donald farm, and for that matter out the entire length of the road to Knoll- ;wood village and Pine Needles, j The same firm have sold for the j James Barber estate the Marlboro i apartment house to D. W. Hensley, of the Pinehurst Garage. The property I will be improved, and already ten- I ants are waiting for all the apart- I ments. The increasing business of I the garage has required an addition j to the force of employes, and the j purchase of the Marlboro was largely ito afford suitable living quarters for I the employes of the place. MINES SHOW PROGRESS. The mining industry has shown more marked progress and economic stability than almost any other busi ness this year. Increased demand for such metals as copper and zinc, cou pled with grater efficiency on the managing and producing ends has made the metal market more sound than ever before. Modern mining is not the dramatic, romantic adventure of past days. In stead it has become a strong, essen tial industry, supplying necessary factors of our industrial life. It has brought great prosperity to many states; indirectly it has aided the prosperity of the entire nation. We produce a large percentage of I the world’s lead, zinc and copper and j: i about half of the world’s consumption is in the home market. Our mines are an integral part of our social and in dustrial civilization. To the Editor of The Pilot: Your last week editorial on “De- clairing” interested me, and referring to that part of it which told of the division in the ranks of the Page fam ily over next week’s election, it might i ^ interest your readers to know what j the late Walter Hines Page, American Ambassador to London during the Great War, and a brother of Robert N. Page and Frank Page, had to say about one of the candidates for the Presidency. The following may be found in Vol ume 3, Life and Letters of Walter H. Page, page 312: “Mr. Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the Commission for relief in Bel gium, would, if opportunity should of fer, make a. useful officer in the state department. He is probably the only man living, who has privately (without holding office) negotiated understandings with the British, French, Dutch and Belgian govern ments. He personally knows and has had direct dealings with these gov ernments and his transactions with them have involved several hundred million dollars. He is a man of very considerable fortune—less than when the work began, for this relief work has cost him much. He was ap proached on behalf of the British gov ernment with the suggestion that if he would become a British subject the gjovernment would be pleased to give him an important executive post and with the hint that if he succeeded a title might await him. His answer was: ‘I will do what I can for you with pleasure but I will be damned if I give up my American citizenship. Not on your life!’ Within the last six months two large financial organ izations, each independently, have of fered him one hundred thousand dol lars a year to enter their service and an industrial company offered him one hundred thousand dollars (to start with). He declined them all. When the Belgian relief work recently struck a snag Hoover by telegraph got the promise of a loan in the United States for the British and French governments for the Belgian relief of $150,000,000! I do not know but I think he would be glad to turn his European experience to the pa triotic use of our own government. He is 42 years old and is a graduate of the Leland Stanford University.” EUGENE C. STEVENS. Southern Pines, October 29, 1928 . The trend in highway building is toward wider pavements in all cen ters and territories where traffic is apt to be heavy congested. The American Automobile Associa tion has appointed a committee witli the object of furthering this plan, using the slogan that “Wider High ways are Safer Highways” Under existing conditions, trucks and other slow-moving vehicles on highways delay many miles of cars capable of greater speed, that are un able to pass because of the narrow roadways.

OMFORT There is no greater menace to our national progress and prosperity than fire. Each year in America this de stroyer takes ten times the amount it takes in Europe. It is estimated that the loss by fire in 1926 averaged about $1,500,000 daily, reaching a total for the year of $560,000,000. The rapidity of in crease is shown by the fact that ten years before in 1916, the loss was about $258,377,952, less than half of what it is at present. Perhaps the greatest tragedy of this waste is that it is practically en tirely preventable. European coun tries have demonstrated this with strict building codes, inspections and laws holding the owner of property which has sustained a preventable i fire guilty for any damage done to his neighbor’s property, as well as his own without allowing him insurance indemnity. It may be questioned whether Eu ropean preventative methods would be either practical or acceptable in this country. This, however, is a minor issue. The poin is that fire is preventable—authorities state that as high as 80 per cent of fires are un necessary—and the prodigal waste must be blamed entirely on ourselves. Fire Prevention Week is just past. Various public and private organiza tions, throughout the nation, have made laudable efforts to educate the public on abolishing fire risks, and have taught practical prevetnion. If full advantage was taken of the op portunity, and the teachings are car ried out during the coming months, it will mark another milestone in our progress.
