THE POCKETBOOK KNOWLEDGE a BEFORE THE HORSE IS STOLEN The Pilot has been informed of several narrow escapes from ac cidents on avenues crossing the railroad tracks in Southern Pines since the introduction by the Seaboard of the diesel trains. Some of these trains do not stop here, but pass trough at a high rate of speed. All are in the night time. Before we suffer loss of life or limb is the time to think about safety measures. Here, it seems to us, is one simple solution: At the Vermont avenue cros sing there is an automatic sig nal warning of an approaching train by red lights and ringing^ , t-. . bell.

Chains can be stretched across these crossings, with a red lan tern hanging from them. This provides adequate cros sing facilities for the little traf fic there is from 11:00 p. m. to daylight—one passageway at either end of town. And it elim inates four dangerous crossings. In exchange for the cost of erection and maintenance by the Seaboard of the additional au tomatic signal the town of Sou thern Pines agrees to the closing of the four avenues during the hours of danger, providing and maintaining the necessary chains and lights. Southeni Pines has been for tunate in the few serious acci dents happening here as a result of the operation of trains at street level. But w-ith the com ing of the non-stop diesel trains a new factor of danger is intro duced against which safeguards should be set up before there are casualities. would establish a government- sponsored corporation to buy equity shares in small busi- nes.ses, in order to avoid the ex pense attendant on floating se curity issues. “Tho simplicity of the proposed mechanism for making funds available to small business enteri)ri?es appeals to me,” said the chairman of the Commission, and he added that he has urged the Senate Bank ing and Currency Committee to make a detailed study of the proposal, with a view to pressing legislation at the next regular session of Congress Grains of Sand N'iir.rod.s %vho found a hunter's "nradise in eastern Mooro county .01 e di.cappointed the first of the vcok \' hon State game wardens were u-i-ad notifying peopl.’ of the clos ing of Sandhills and Quewhiffle town ships for the season.

Did it speed recovery? ^ormer Commander At Ft Bragrgr Retires A long and distinguished military career that included service in thr?0| wars ended when Lietuenant General .A.lhert J. Bowley, one-time comman-l ler at Fort Bragg^ and well known throughout the sandhills, was retired, at San Francisco, Cal<i., last week. The veteran officer, who had reach ed the statutory retirement limit of 64 years, was well known to North Carolinian.s. He first came to the State in 1920 as commander of the Fifth Fie’d Artillery at Fort Bragg and remained unti^ 1928 in that ca pacity and later as commandering ■)fficer of the 15th F^eld Artillery Brigade and commandant of the pbst. A native of California, General Bowley w'as graduated from West Point in 1S97. Shortly after receiv ing his commission as second lieu tenant of artillery, he got his first taste of actual .service in Cuba durtng the Spanish-American war. After the close of that conflict, he was sent to the Philli pines where he saw service during the island in surrection. He served at various posts throughout the United States and as military attache at the American Legation in Peking, China, in 1914. General Bowley was a colonel when the United States entered the World War. He went overseas December, 1917, and in France was successively commander of the 17th Field Artil lery, commander of the Second Ar tillery Brigade, and chief of artillery in the Second Army of the A. E. F. After his service at Fort Bragg General Bowley served on the gen eral staff and as commanding gener al of the Hawaiian divi.sion and the third and ninth corps areas. On August 5, 1939, he climaxed his career by receiving the tempo rary rank of Lieutenant General and assignment as commanding officer of one of the four new’ly created Army divisions of the United State.s forces. General Bowley’s war service earn ed him the Distinguished Service Medal, his citation pointing out that the artillery support under his direc tion had much to do with Allied suc cesses in the Chateau Thierry, Sois sons, St. Mihiel. Blan Mont, and the Meuse-Argonne offensives.

The government already has its arm into “big business” up to the elbow. By making loans, by passing ngw regulatory leg islation and, in some cases, by actually going into business and using tax-subsidies and special privileges to undersell its pri vate competitors, it has extend ed “state capitalism” on a con siderable scale. Now, if a new plan recently proposed is adopted, little busi ness” will also come under the wing of government to an un known extent.

These books, Mrs. Craig stated, were the type which would not re pay rebinding costs, <ilthough their pages were in readable shape.
