? Making Up for Blunder
Ever since the announce
ment by this newspaper imme
diately after the death of Pres
ident Harding that The Ad
vance had arranged, during
the remainder of the absence
in Europe of Mr. David Law
Lawrence, to receive a daily
Washington dispatch from
Robert T. Small, The Advance
has been quietly negotiating
with the Consolidated Press
Association with a view to
compensating its readers for
their disappointment by the
Vfailure of the Small dispatches
to materialize.
We learned, in the first
place, that our failure to re
ceive the Small dispatches
while Mr- Lawrence was in Eu
rope or on his way home on
the Leviathan was due to a
misunderstanding on the part
of one of the Consolidated
Press Association's relay sta
tions.
Having that much settled,
The Advance hastened to ac
cept the suggestion of the Con
solidated Press Association
that the Small dispatches be
now accepted-for such a per
iod as this newspaper promis
ed its readers in the first place
that it would receive and print
them. The fact that the new
service begins today, just when
there are so many events of
wide importance to be covered
that Mr. Lawrence's daily dis
patch particularly needs sup
plementing, is highly pleasing
to us and, we hope, will prove
equally as gratifying to our
readers. .
Meantime The Advance has)
planned a surprise for its1
readers in the way of another ?
regular feature supplemen
tary to its Associated Press
and Consolidated Press news'
service. This feature begins
Friday of this week, and Ad
vance readers may according
ly look for it in the next issue
of The Advance.
The lady who advertised her
husband as a stave gets in the
newspapers not because of the
condition to which she had re
duced her mate but because she
is willing to tell the world of her
conquest.

Gratifying
The Advance is gratified at
the decision of the Board of
School Trustees to reconsider
their action in postponing the'
opening of the schools to Octo
ber 1.
Two school buildings, we be-!
lieve. are not ready for occu
pancy in Raleigh at this time,
but that fact did not delay the!
opening of the schools in the
capital city, though it involves
carrying on school work for the
time being in temporary quar
ters and under rather trying
conditions.
The use of the relay system in
Elizabeth City will, no doubt, in
volve rather trying difficulties,
| but not enough to compensate
for delaying the opening of
[schools till October without any
! certainty that the new high
I school building will be ready for
I use by that date.
I We see by the editorials in a
| number of newspapers that the
League of Nations is dead. But
jthis is not the first time that the
editors have killed it and The
(Advance harbors a suspicion
that the League will outlast all
the scribes of the present gener
ation.
Considering how Mexico has
changed, it is no great wonder
that America was so long in rec
ognizing her.
