PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT j Here’s a apecific and practical use of the leftover kitchen fats women save in their kitchens. This Army Machine Gun Trainer, which pretty R K 0 starlet Elaine Riley is sighting, is on display at the Army Ord. nance Exhibit at the Chrysler Building In New York, and uses plastic bullets for practice. Fatty acids, derived from used fat, are necessary in the manufacture of these bullets, which makes the cost of firing the gun tor practice negligible. If real ammunition were used, it would cost $180 * minute. Using these plastic bullets, the trainee becomes accustomed :o machine gun action and recoil.

Wilson of Roan oke Rapid- against The Roanoke Neii's Co., Inc was brought to a close last Friday when Judge Wal ter C. Borne, presiding, directed the verdict in open court. There was no award of damages. The suit by Wilson, division highway commissioner, was based on'an educ-ial printed in The Roanoke News in July, 19-12, crit icizing Wilson for some of his act ivities as highway commissioner. The case had been on trial all last week when it was halted Thursday morning because George C. Green of Weldon, leading at torney for Wilson, became sudden ly ill while cross-examining B. F. Turner, Editor of the “News” and first witness for the defense. The court was recessed until Fri day morning. Thursday afternoon when it be came apparent the case might not be completed at the present term of court, ending in a mistrial and would have to be tried over again at a later term of Superior Court the attorneys for both sides held a conference and arranged a set tlement. The terms of the settle ment agreed on were: the defense would rest its case and not put on its witnesses to further justify the editorial "The Commissioner Builds Himself A Road” and ac cept a directed verdict; the Plain tiff, Wilson, woul ^ recover no damages; both sides to split the court costs and pay their own wit ness fees; Wilson agreed to enter a retraxit in the suits pending a gainst Dr. B. M. Nicholson of En field for $25,000 and against B. F.

Dr. Nicholson is alleged to have caused this editorial to be published in The Enfield Progress.
