Would of venturing out on a dark
aUht upon a paved highway in;
Pfctquotank County In any sort of ,
vehicle without a light, law or no.
Judgment than to risk such an oc- j
eurrence; but since many of thorn
have not they should be compelled
by law to protect themselves.
However, until we do secure the
passage of such a law, the motor
ist must be held strictly account
able for failure to have his car un
der control at all times when hh
vision of the road ahead of him la
obscured. Nothing Is more mis
chievous than the Idea thst be
cmu?o It la foolish to venture upon
the State's highways at night
Without a light, the motorist Is
therefore to be absolved of re

tons as the law permits certain ve
hicles to use the hlghwsys at night
without lights, the responsibility

Mr. O. F. Gilbert.
City.
Dear Slr:
I saw for the first time last
night, the advertisement you nre
sending out for the sale that In
now on at your Htore, and what
you nay about 'going out square."
You make a statement which l?s
Incorrect. You say "My rent has
bften raised to such an amount
that I did not feel 1 would be Jus
tlfled in paylnK same. In rnsc I
did it would be a cast- of adding
the extra cost to my morrhandlsr
and this I would not do. ? ? ?
so I am forced out of business?
another party has leased the build
ing?so I must get out quick as
possible. I realize I must take a
loss ? a big loss.'
Your statement about the lease
Is not correct, and I ask you to
correct It.
For the last eight yearn you
| have been after me to change th"
i front of the store, and I told yon
I It would cost considerable to do
so, and the rent would be In
I creased. I stayed the matter off
until last July, when you Bought
to renew your lease, which would
expire January 1st. 1925. and
| when you Instated that the change
] must be made in tho store front.
We figured on it. and I told yon
what the rent would be If th?
[change was mndiv You II greed
In the rental. I suggested to you
that you only tak?> a part of the
building, a* It was larger than
you needed. You insisted on thf
whole of the building, and said
that you would sublet any part of
it if you desired. I reluctantly did j
this. You wanted the property I
for five years, and 1 agreed to
lease It to you for thla time. You '
told me to prepare thr leaso any
time. I Maid that 1 would wait I
until the work was completed, no j
1 would not have to express in
the lease the change* to be niad?
I told you at the time that I could
rent the building for ITS. 00 mor^
per month than you w?-re to pay
me in the new lease, by changing
the building according to mvj
Ideas, making three or four Mores
of It. hut you wanted the bnildlnx
and I had It chanK<*d according to I
your wishes.
After the work wan completed l
then drew out the Icaar and s??nt It ,
to you. You cnmr to my offlo?
and aaked that it tip hrld up for
30 day*, that you had been to N* w
Jeraey and you Were ronnld<>rlnK
moving your family there. ualng !
part of your alater'a homo, and go- !
In* In the real ratal? hualnr*'
witn a party whoar namr you mtv*
that you had had a propor
tion from him. You aald that .Mr.
?? had made you an
offer for your atock hero, but that
ne did not offer enough, and that
1 f,rt' UP north had mad* you an
orfer. and you had decline that
I MNM with you at that tlmr
that I would relefme you rf thr
Iloaso If you wanted mo to. At tin*
i end of the thirty day* I called on
I you to know what you wanted.
You then told mo yon did not
want the building for five years.
I offered It to you for three years,
and you declined to accept that.
You then told me you did not
want it but for one year, and 1
'told you I codld not rent it for
. one year, having gone to th?* ex
pense I had to fix It like you want
ed it. While you had nufue the
firm bargain for the property for
the five years, and in accordance
with that I had gone to large ex
pense to change It to suit you, 1
still consented to release you. I
asked you then li you could give
possession at the first of the year
and you said you could not. I
asked you how much time you
wanted and you said six months
, would be plenty of time. This no
tice was given me on Monday week
, ago. Just before I left for Tyrell
; Court. I thon caw Mr. Chfsson.
and rented the store to him at
i the same ftTHirys s? t out In the
new lease to you. with thr under
standing that you wore to have
sufficient time to move out. Mr.
| Chesson agreed to this. Then, on
the Saturday following, you catne
i to me and said you only wanted
until March 1st Instead of July
1st. Mr. Chesson signed the lease.
I submit that what yon say In
your advertisement is not in ac
cord with these facts, which I
know you will not controvert, and
the statement that you make in
the advertisement tends to reflect
upon me, and that 1 am mistreat
ing you, and I ask you to make
this correction.
As you have sent this out thru
your advertisements 1 shall ask
the paper to publish this li tter.
Your very truly,
K. F. AYDLETT

In presenting liiw immigration
r< commendations, Mr.- Davis cited]
statistics showing that, while the!

?. nter the country.
Tin* present- large inflow of im
migrants from Canada and Mexi
co, unrestricted by the law so far
| as native citizens of those coun
tries are concerned, is putting a
omnium, says Mr. Davis, on
"iK'ntl-utrinu of aliens." Kurope

H' l tr. are bi ing smuggled unlaw
fully to the United States, and he!
li-le v?s that placing them under
the quota provisions of the law
would allow effective stops to be
taken to shut out the evaders.
The expense of regulating Im
migration into the United States,
Mr. Davis reports, amounted to
$3,732,315 in the fiscal year 1924,
hut was more than met by receipts
from taxes on immigrants, fines, j
and other Income of the depart
ment. which totalled $0,334,756. ,
"Wo have taken steps toward
selective immigration in the act of j
MOVING i?ictuhe funnies

summarizing his departmental
recommendations. "We should
Ko the whole way and make sure
that all applicants for admission
ar? qualified before they leave
their hemes."
AGE AND YOITH VIK
AT THE ALKHVMA TODAY
One of the eternal problems Is
the conflict between the old and
the young. Youth must be served
and is served, but should the old
who do the serving be forgotten
when youth reaches maturity?
Are the old people in the way?
Are they a rock about the neck
of those whom they cared for? j
Are they living on charity when
their children support them?
All these questions are raised
and answered in the Outlook
1'roductlon. "The Old Fool." re
leased through the W. W. Hodkln
son Corporation.
This interesting story of old
age and youth is on at the
Alkrama Theater today.
