There are 72,000 babies Wn in North Carolina each year, approxi mately, and there are 10.000 babies who each year die in infancy. Gen erally the little white coffins arc filled because of some preventable disease. incurred through the ignorance or prejudice of parents. To attempt in some measure to remedy this condition, to make North Carolina a safe place in which a baby may be born, to advise and co-operate with mothers, and more especialJy with young mothers, will be the work of the new bureau.

With applications for admission pouring in on every mail, due in part to the regulations govern ing the student army training corps, prospects for a successful opening of the University of North Carolina, September 26, when classes meet for the first time, are exceptionally bright. Practically all the dormitory space has been filled, and other avail able quarters to take care of the large Gastonia. Plans for the big Gaston county fair are progressing rapidly and Executive Secretary Fred M. Allen states that when October '8 comes, it will find an up-to-the-minute fair. One of the largest carnival companies on the road has been engaged to have charge of the big midway. Rural com munity fairs will be the same big feat ure as last year and it is planned to also have industrial community fairs, a new proposition which has received the hearty endorsement of- govern ment officials.

Great Gasoline Saving. r In response to queries as to what amount in saving of gasoline might be expected as a result of the United States fuel administration's request that the use of automobiles be re stricted on Sunday, M.

At the present Contagious enthusiasm and intense interest are being manifested in the new regulations growing out of the establishment of the student army training crops in the numerous col legiate institutions. President Ed ward K. Graham, who is regional di rector of the student army training corps for the south Atlantic states, is being literally swamped with inquir ies from this and neighboring "tates pertaining to the new system of mili tary training. The university, as well as other col legiate institutions, will be filled to capacity this fall in the opinion of well informed university officials. Tha stu dent body for the most part, however, will be a "moving in and out" popula tion probably, inasmuch as it i3 quite possible that the 20 year olds will be called after Christmas; those 19 about April; and the 18youths about June next. The university campus will be a preliminary training camp from .which students, will be gradually sort ed out and sent into the various branches of the service. Field Artillery Graduates.

Little, coal dealers of Charlotte are deliver ing only one ton of coal at a time to a customer. This request was ma i 3 by Mr., Little, in order that each family may reqfivc at least a part cf the coal needed for this winter. Heretofore the coal dealers of the city have ben delivering coal on tlte "first come, first served" principle, and a person ordering flvs or 1C tons of coal would have-that amount de livered before any other orders were sent out. This plan, it is explained,, worked admirably for the persons get ting the coal, but caused uneasiness among those whose stock was getting low, and who began to have visions of the cold, bleak, wintry winds due in Charlotte a little later in the year, and which bade fair to catch them coalless. As a result of this feeling, which was beginning to find expression among the citizens of Charlotte, the fuel administrator wrote the coal dealers and asked that they rotate their orders, giving each family one tan of coal before starting over tneir regular circuit again.

The total number of subscriptions now reported is 580.540, amounting to the sum of .$67,131,850. This Is a most gratifying showing because while the amount in money Is not so large as it was in the second campaign, the number of subscriptions secured is largely in excess of those secured for the second campaign. This spells real service of the highest degree because in the third campaign os "gleaners after the reapers," all blanket corporation subscriptions were eliminated and the boys confined them selves to soliciting individuals, and the number of .$50 and $100 bonds sold is a wonderful achievement.

Vanderlip believes that the War Savings campaign should be made a permanent branch of the coun try's financial system whether the war closes this yea the next or several years hence. He. says that already so much good has '.come out of the great Thrift movement that it would be a grave mistake not to continue several years longer even if tne war stops. The War Savings doctrine, he says, is not only essential to the winning 01 the war, but is to be to a great extent the salvation of the nation.

In an abandoned mountain school house the scouts came across a store of provisions and some navy clothing. When Jones returned, 11 scouts closed in on him at a prearranged sig nnl.

The new disease, Spanish influenza, is thus described by S,urgeon General Blue: "People are stricken on the streets, while at work in factories, shipyards, offices or elsewhere. First, there is a chill, then fever with temperature from 101 to 103, headache, backache, reddening and running .of the eyes, pains and aches all over the body and general prostration. Person so at 'acked should get to bed. SCOUTS DOING A GREAT WORK. The Boy Scouts of America have done big work this year greater, roore valuable work was never done. Leaders and troops, old and young, went into America's fight for liberty with vim, stuck to it with vigor and harvested a crop of funds and food that meant victory. Millions of dollars were secured for clothing, shelter and instruments of defense. Tons of food were added to Uncle Sam's store that furnishes the physical fuel needed to enable our soldiers to stop the barbarian horde attacking the civilization secured by man's struggle for 2,000 years. SCOUTS WEAR HAT BADGE. All genuine boy scouts should wear the badge on the hat. One important reason for this is the fact that the United States govern ment has permitted the Boy Scouts of America alone among boy organiza tions to wear a uniform similar to that of the United States army, so It Is only fair to the authorises that the scouts should wear the distinguishing mark of their organization on the hat. in order that they may not be confused 'with the soldiers. - ''I .-V f - k 1 ri ,-i ' 1 !
