Through efforts of the Social Service Department of the North Carolina Fed eration of Women's Clubs, a good list of motion pictures has been prepared for children. . - There is a great dentand all over the state for better pictures for children, and by co-operating with the local managers in each town, it is possible and highly probable that the club wo men can weild a very wholesome in fluence in bringing these better pictures before the children. Should other lists of pictures be de sired, they may be - obtained from the committee on Children's Pic'tures and Programs, Orrin C. Cocks, secretary, at 5th Avenue, New York City. . In various, places where co-operation between the'' local management and the club women has been tried, it has proven very effective, for the managers of the local theatres seem eager to serve the welfare of childhood in presenting better pictures.

(Special Star Correspondence.) Dunn, N. C April 1 5. Mayor J. W. Turnage is rapidly getting things fn shape to begin wor kon paving and graveling all the principal streets of the town. Several contractors are now looking over . the proposed im provements, and work will begin in a' few days, as part of the funds are now in hand for; the work. Main street will be paved in the business part of town and the other streets treated to a heavy coat of gravel that is considered by experts to be superior to the Lil lington product that so many towns are using. The ladies of the civic league are im proving the school grounds of the grad ed school by resetting the hedges and planting the space In front of tht building in grass. ney are also plan ning a flower show .for next fall and are offering prizes to the ladies of the town for the finest exhibits and for the prettiest yards. Messrs. R. T. Spence, of Smithfield. and- J. R. McQueen, of Dunn, have been busy for the past few days as sisting the people of Jonesboro neigh borhood to erect their new church building. This church is about thre miles north of town and Is in a fine community. The building will be com pleted some time this, summer. Thii church is a result of home mission work of Rev. J. R. McQueen. The oth er churches of the town are conduct ing Sunday schools at other points near town, and several new churches are contemplated in the near future. The approaching election of city offi cials does not seem to be creating much excitement this year, as it is generally understod that the present incumbents will not have any opposition. The mayor, Mr. J. W. Turnage, and all. the commissioners have given such satis faction (and have been progressive though conservative) that it will be useless for any other candidate to run this time. The Dunn road force is spending -all its time surfacing the roads in the district with gravel. They are now working about thirty men and ten mules and are doing fine work. Grave is convenient to all the leading roads. RALEIGH PREPARED TO ENTERTAIN SHRLNERS (Continued on Page Eighteen.) booked for passage over the -hot sands of the desert.

AMERICAN EXPORTERS To Prepare Shipments Like For eign Consumers Want Them. Sonth Americana Dedrou of North - Carolina Yellow Pine for Box Lum ber Think There" is Noth ing: Like It.--. v"-5v - -i"., Apnr "The pa triotic duty of Americans today is to prepare thelr-export. shipments 'Jn the iVt 1 Til . . . manner "that ; consumers, . in . other .lands want, the" American goods prepared. Ev ery failure to cater to the desires of the consumer adds to 'the flame "of resent ment that" is found against America in other lands." This was the significant message re garding South America and the Orient, sent by the United States government to the business men of . America and especially to the lumber trade, through two foreign trade experts of the Fed eral bureau of commerce, when they addressed a conference of the secre taries of lumber manufacturing organ izations representing practically every state which,manufactures lumber, Rog er E. Simmons, just back from fourteen months investigation of lumber market conditions in South America and Franklin ,K. Smith, recently returned from a study of over a year in China, Japan, East India and Australasia. Both speakers made the same signi ficant declaration, that Americans are trying to sell their goods abroad as they like to manufacture them, not as the consumers like to have them manu factured. ' Both speakers deplored in no measur ed language the absence of an Ameri can . merchant marine whose ships might aid American manufacturers in meeting the competition of European competitors. "There is hardly a wooden house in South America," declared Mr. Simmons, "but the Europeans are getting the trade because they are careful of such details, apparently unimportant to the American, as the exact measurement of the lumber sold. An American timber may be six inches longer than speci fied, or the same amount shorter. The Scandinavian timber is exactly the length, width and thickness specified. Want North Carolina Lumber, "The South Americans are wonderful ly alert, and high minded business men, and they resent any effort to impose up on them materials not up to the stan dards they specify. "They are great admirers of Southern yellow pine. They want it, however. in exact measurements and free from stain. They are willing to make a mar ket for some of the slash lumber such as the Georgia-Florida mills find 'trou ble in disposing of after the sale of their highest grade lumber. They are desirous of North Carolina pine, for box lumber, of the quality manufactur ed in the Carolinas and Virginia. They think it the only wood in the world for box making," . ... Franklin K. Smith, of the same bu reau, also a forestry service expert. said the need in the Orient was for and exporting agency to represent the Pacific . coast lumber manufacturers and' fix rules for shipments that would guarantee the purchaser in Australia or the Orient the kind of lumber that he specifies in or dering American goods. Mr. Smith went further than Mr. Simmons in this respect and advocated the building of American ships to get this foreign trade even if the shipping operations them seives were conducted at a loss. He like Mr. '. Simmons . declared that the chief difficulty in caring for export shipments was in the efforts of brokers HEAP BIG CHIEF. - Victor C. Locke. Victor C.

(0 An exceptional car duiii to exacting demand The six cylinder motor in its perfected state is the engineer's answer to the demand of the automobile enthusiast the extremist if you will. The perfected six cylinder motor is capable of a faster pick up and a smoother flow of power than is possible in a four. But not all sixes are superior to all fours. We build fours that are superior to many sixes. , And our only purpose in building a six is to satisfy with Overland finality that extremist demand for well nigh miracu lous motor performance. The Overland Six is a big, roomy, luxurious, seven passen ger car with a motor of unusual power, smoothness and flexibility. But the price is only $1145 much lower than any other car of its size and class. - Such a low price for such a superlative car is possible only because the Overland Six is part of a huge production. In fact Overland production is easily double that of any other builder of cars of like class. So in buying the Overland Six you not only secure a car of very unusual performance But you get the advantage of the economies possible only in the production of cars on so vast a scale. While the prices of established sixes are advancing, and those recently announced are on a higher price level, the Over land price remains at $1145. It is so clearly dominant value among sixes of its size and class, that the demand is taxing even our large capacity. Today is an Overland Six opportunity which can hardly last.
