London, May 31.?Captain Charles
A. Lindbergh, who flew across the At- r

er and four sandwiches to sustain him, E
today chose to return with a minimum 0
of comfort aboard the United States 8

He will reach Washington June 11. f
Royal and presidential suites aboard p

The party arrived at the commons ,,
afc 4:30 p. m. Colonel Kenyon Joyce, t
United States embassy military at- ,
tache, and John Buchan, novelist and j

distinguished strangers' gallery where '
Lindbergh sat for 10 minutes listen
ing to a dull debate on the trades un- *
ions bill on which James Kidd, a labor- ^
it# was speaking.
tTaenee, Lindbergh was taken to the
lifcby where there was a brief recep- ,
tion. He shook hands with J. H. Thom
as, former member of the cabinet, El- j
len Wilkinson, Stephen Walsh and (
David Kirkwood, all laborites. 4
. "Well done, laddie," said Kirkwood, j
who is one of the most outspoken of ,

to Air Flivvers
For Auto King
?'ord Plans 100 Passenger Trans
Ocean Planes; Praises
Lindbergh.
Detroit, June 1.?Henry Ford, who
educed automobiles to their lowest
ommon denominator and filled the A
nerican countryside with 15,000,000
f them at bargain-cotmter prices, is
;oipg to follow a diametrically oppo
ite course with his airplanes.
He is not going to build any "air'
livvers." He is not going to go inf
or quantity production of small
danes at low prices. The plane tHat
nterests him is the big plane, the
xpensive plane, the plane that can
lever be turned out in quantity pro
luction.
Ford disclosed these facts here in
in interview given while the fifteenth
nillion "model T" Ford was beingfin
shed. In his interview the famous
nanufacturer took occasion to pay his
espects to Captain Charles Lindbergh
lero of the New Yory to P.wis flight.
"What does his flight mean?" he
?epeated in response to a question.
'It means a lot. It means, for one
hing, that here in America we have
it least one boy who knows that he
cnows what he knows."
With that cryptic remark Ford vas 1
iilent for a moment
"Now that you have clutted up the
streets with Fords," a reported said,
'people are expecting that you will
pegin to clutter up the sky with air
planes."
"Well, I won't," said Ford. "I am
lot interested in small airplanes."
"But I am interested in larger
planes?real planes, planes that will
carry 100 to 200 passengers, planes
that will fly in any kind of weather,
in any season of the year, planes that
will go anywhere and any time. That
is the only kind of plane in which 1
im interested."
"Will you build ;such a plane?" he
was asked. v
studying the question. If a million dol
lars would build such a plane, some
pne would start the manufacture of
diem at once. But such planes would
cost a lot of money.
"They . are coming, however, just
as surety as the'fast trains came to
succeed the stage coach. Air travel
can be made just as safe as any other
kind of travel. The Lindbergh flight
has proven that it is feasible to cross
the ocean with passenger traffic.
"If one man can safely fly across
the ocean, 100 men can be carried a
cross safely in a-passenger airplane."
At Dearborn Fprd proudly brought
out the first car he ever .made?the
odd-looking thing tlyt was put to
gether 34 years igo.
.Ford recalled that hp had spld pne
of his first cars for 3160. Someone
suggested he could still sel them if he
reproduced them today.
"1 guess I could," He said. "A few,
anyway."
One's Enough for Anybody
"That son of yours 'certainly has
got a will of him own."
"Yes, that's why I'm cutting him
out of mine." ' " . ?,

.Many New Duties
For County Heads
AD 42 Of Them Are Now Listed
On One Sheet; Obstacles
Rise In Path of Budget
Raleigh, June 1?With ordinary
paper not sufficient to hold the data,
the County Advisory Commission has
prepared a "County Calendar" which
shows the 42 duties now required of
fiscal officers of a county on a sheet
12 by 20 inches. The calendar is being
mailed to all of the counties, and al
though it is large, every county offi
paper.
The date when each act must be
performed, the officer or officers
charged with the responsibility and
the controlling section of the law are
shown on the calendar.
While some of the old provisions
of law have merely been, rewritten,
40 of the 42 citations to statutes con
tained in the calendar are to acts of
the General Assembly of 1927, the
only exceptions being the 1923 law re
quiring the county commissioners or
their representative to meet with the
County Board of Education during the
month of May and prepare a school
budget ?pd the 1925 law fixing Nov
ember 30 as the last day on which a
discount may be allowed for the pay
ment of taxes,
Many of the new duties relate to
the budget system of control, which
was put into effect for the State in
1925, and extended so as to affect the
counties in 1927. July 1 has been a
Jopted as the beginning of the fiscal
year for the counties as well as for
the State, and 10 of the 42 functions
must be performed in July and six of
the other 32 during the month.: of
June. However, there is not a single
month during the 12 when the county
fiscal, authorities must not comply
with the provisions of some sectiqn
of the new laws or pay the penalty
provided therein. \ j I
The new budget laws require that
the county accountant shad! submit
the budget fo the comity commission
ers on the first Monday in June find
that the sheriff or tax collector sjiali
make a ful and complete settlement of
taxes for the proceeding year on the
same data. '

did in special session recently when
they directed Sheriff N. F. Turner to
file a tentative report on the first
Monday in July and account for ait
that he has on hand at that time. >1

Head of Stat^Teachers' As

High Point, Jun?.?Stringent con
tracts for 11 ii In i ipl'iL"liil i"L their

day morning whe*T. W. Andrews;
president of the NB^.Carolina Edu
cation ASsociatio^ classes as "ab
surd," clauses whaj placed restric
tions upon ?* wome,n
printed in the Nation.
Mr. Andrews is a member of the
National committee on professional
ethics of the National Education As
sociation, and as a member will con
sider the establishment of National
standards for the consideration of the
entire teaching profession at the an
nual convention at Seattle ne*t month.
The contract of the Wilson county
board of education which bound the
teacher not to fall in love, not > to
dance, dress immodestly nor encour
age or tolerate "the least familiarity
on the part of any of my hoy pupils"
was branded by jjr. Andrews ?s '<an
insult upon the character and integ
rity of tne teacher." ?*
"These things," Mr. Andrews said,
"are obviously unnecessary, aqd in
sulting to the teacher, who, if she is
the right kind of teacher, will know
the proper way to conduct herself, if
she is not she will not be able to hold
her job."
If causing no greater harmfi Mr.
Andrews believes such contracts hove
a tendency to degrade teaching as a
profession. - ?
Mr. Andrews also called attention
to other contracts used in the State
which compel the teacher to sleep at
least eight hours a night, no to attend
aay cheap vaudeville or moving it#*
ure shows, and to spend most of her
spare time in church apd Supday
schopl wqrk.
He also asserted that no general
rule regarding?. the employment of
married women as teachers could be
laid down. Some married women, be
said, by reason of their experience
with handling children are better
qualified than their single sisters,
while others have too many, hpme ties
to permit enough thought about the
class room

rioting crowds seeking vengeance on
B." J. Levins, confessed slayer of five
members of the Morrell family here
last week, another mob last night laid,
siege to the vicinity of the jail and
early this morning was still exchang
ing- ...desultory volleys with militia
men patrolling the area.
Shortly after midnight the casual
ty, list showed one man killed and IS
persons wounded, all believed to be
members of the attacking parties. The
guardsmen were holding their lines
i^der orders to shoot'to kill.
It was estimated that more than
2,000 persons were in the throng which
milled about outside a roped-off area
on the four, sides of the jail, their
sfcputs and curses being punctuated
here and there by scattered shots from |
their own ranks and the battle of ma- j
chine guns and bark of pistols as the
guardsmen returned the fire.
Xavalrymen dashed through the ed
dying mass of humanity in an effort
to scatter the throngs, but their fre- ,
quent sallies failed to do more than
open temporary lanes, which quickly
closed again.
Hand to hand clashes were staged
oh all sides when a cavalryman- was
pulled off his horse and man-handled ^
by the mob. .During the confusion, his
fate was not learned immediately, but
with the mob's temper rapidly becom- ?
ing more menacing, fears for his saf- -
ety were felt. ? .* i
The rioting, which was quelled early
yesterday after 11 persons, one wo- ,
man, had been wounded in an attack
with a battering ram on the jail walls, >
broke out afresh shortly before 10 o'- 1
clolk last night when a disorderly ele
ment of the crowd which all day-had ,
congregated about the restricted area, (
dashed out street lights with bricks.
Simultaneously, a group of about 50 !
men charged a detachment of troops '<?

No - official confirmation was ou
