4 1 GOVERNMENT WILL ; UILD HOUSES HERE rialf Million Dollars For Ship Workers., idins rrosram Hm Been Approved 1 HT the Kmineryncy Fleet Cerpor t ion Will Solve Housing Problem. announcement from headquarters of Shippi;i& board that the govern the has undertaken a housing propo . ; Wilmington that will involve . ovnmditure of half a million dol will be received with little sur--1 noe the matter has been under consideration for several weeks, but j" b0 ,!,e means of allaying any im c i.v. that the most pessimistic per- mi-iu have gained relative to the ibandonment of 'the local shipyards. The Emergency Fleet News states th-,t a 5"00,000 housing project has been undertaken on a 30-acre tract of land, and from this it Is presumed house- will be constructed on the Care prnment property adjacent to the Caro y shipyard. Construction of houses in this' vicinity will release others in the eitv for persons employed at the Liberty vard, and this, with the addi tion of the 100 room hotel that is be ing built at the Carolina, construction on which is well underway, and the 60 houses built by the Victory Home com pany will practically solve the housing problem that has been very acute here, having been the reason from some cur tailment in ship construction. The contract, it is learned, for the building of 5500,000 worth of houses in Wilmington has been approved hy the Emcrsency Fleet corporation, and the contract, it is understood, has been awarded to the Fuller Construction company, builders of the Carolina yard. Since the government already owns the land on which the houses are to be built it will be seen that practically every cent of the money to be expend ed will go into the houses, making the number to be constructed considerably larsor than would be the case if it was necessary to purchase the lots on which they are to be built. A rough estimate of the number of houses that can be built for this amount is fixed at between 150 and 200 and some are un der the impression that it will be near er the maximum than the minimum. This is basing the cost of each house at from 52.500 up. Of course if It is decided to build less expensive houses the number will be considerably more than this estimate. Several weeks before the Germans sipned the armistice terms a proposi tion was under consideration for the lettinsr of a housing contract approxi mating; two million dollars, but follow in?: the cessation of hostilities the program was held up and instead of awarding the two-million-dollar con tract to Pears Roebuck and company, as had been considered, the amount was reduced to a half million and the contract, it is understood, awarded the Fuller Construction company. Tt will be remembered that J. Willis ton Smith, and Mr. Bayles, of the Em ergency Fleet corporation, of Philadel phia, paid Wilmington a visit recently and looked over the situation with the idea of the fleet corporation's tak ing the housing problem here in hand. At that time no statement was forthcoming from either of these gen tlemen as to what recommendations they would make. However, Mr. Smith did leave an inference when he said "we've got to have houses," coming- as it did just following a statement that local housing interests had advised him (hat they had gone their limit. There is no matter that is yet to he decided upon and that ia where the houses will be located. There are two suitable places on the government property near the Carolina. One is on the river between the Sunset Park property and the Caroline yard, while the other i? located to the rear of the shipyard. For several reasons the form er location would be more feasible. To begin with, it is very- desirable loca tion for residences. Then there Is a good road leading- around the park property from the main boulevard through the park to Central boulevard. It would also require Just a short piece of roadway to connect the park road ith Pembroke boulevard at the en trance to the Carolina yard. The loca tion back of the yard is also a good one but there are no road or street accom modations. There has been no doubt in the minds of well-informed persons as to the per manency of the local yards, but there has been some doubt among the public generally. However, the announce ment that the government Is going to spend an additional half million dol 'ars in the construction of houses should be sufficient to convince the most skeptical that the building of ships will be -a part of the industrial ine of Wilmington for many years to come. . - j X Plans have been announced local ly and it is not known when the ac tual construction work will begin.

Fiae strengthening tonicf ' WILL APPOINT REGISTER OF DEEDS FIRST MONDAY Whoever I Named, So Far As Board ..Is Concerned, Will Be Register of Deeds W. H. Blair Elected. If gossip to.be heard In near-official otroles Is correct, the board of county commissioners will appoint a register of deeds the first Monday in Decem ber, at which time' the fiscal and offi cial year ends and begins. Walter H. Blair was eiected to the office, but he is In military service overseas. Under the law, it Is said, Mr. Blair cannot qualify abroad. He must come before the board In person December 2 and be inducted into office, giving his official bond. This, it is clear, he is unable to do, being some 3,000 miles or more distant. The board, It is stated, nas no other alternative except to name a full-fledged register of deeds. If the person the board names de sires, he can consider himself a regis ter pro-tem or a deputy for Mr. Blair, until that gentleman returns and takes the office as chief; but the board is for bidden to make any such agreement or have any such understanding on its part. The mattfer would be solely one for the appointee to determine for him self. Such is the law as interpreted. If no appointment were made, Register John Haar, under the law, would con tinue as register. Mr. Blair was nominated after two exciting primaries last spring. In the second primary he had B. Frank King for competitor. His name went on the official ballots, though meantime he was called to the colors and is now overseas. There is no hint from any official as to whom the board will name. A. L. Meyland, clever and efficient deputy register, is being supported by quite a number of. lawyers, practically all of them, it is said, as well as others. Mr. King, who was in a manner of speak ing, next best man in the primary, has friends who think that, politically, he is the logical man after Mr. Blair. Hen ry Home, now deputy clerk of the court, but with ample experience in the register's office, is mentioned. He has made no effort, however, in the way cf signing up supporters to present his interests to the board. About all one could gather yesterday was that the board certainly would name a register of deeds the first Monday. MR. HARPER STILL PRAISING SCHOOLS OF WILJtttXGTON Tells Raleigh Paper That Buildings and Children Are "A One.' The Raleigh News and Observer of yesterday carried the following which Wilmington people will read with in terest and appreciation: "F. M. Harper, director of school garden work in North Carolina, has returned from Wilmington where he inspected the schools, warm in his praise for the work of the public schools of that city. '"On Wednesday It was my good fortune to visit the schools of Wil mington as the guest of Supt. J. J. Blair. We visited all the white schools and also the colored industrial school. I was struck at once with the neat ap pearance of all the class rooms. The floors looked as if they had just been stained and waxed. I have never seen cleaner school buildings anywhere. " 'The buildings are modern and all have wider spacious hallways and broad stairways. One is Impressed on entering these new buildings with the artistic interiors. Pictures of rare merit adorn the walls of these, wide halls and assembly rooms. I wasold that these pictures, all of wh$b are works of art and appropriate to joyous childhood, are worth thousands of dol lars. ' 'The most pleasing Impression made on me was the spirit manifested by the children. I saw no sign of dis order anywhere, and it was plainly evident that the relation between the children and their teachers was most kindly and Superintendent Blair seem ed to know every child in the Wil mington schools, and certainly every child in these schools knows anji loves Superintendent Blair. " 'The spirit- and conduct of these children were as good as that in the best schools of vhe middle west which have the money to employ the best tra'ned teachers in America. " 'Very few of the Wilmington teachers have abandoned their posts during the past few years, for the rea son that their salaries have been steadily increased every year during the war. An election was held on May 8th -last to determine whether the cit izens favore l - an increased tax of 10 cents fo- teachers salaries and also a bond issue for $250,000 for buildings. The election was almost unanimous in favor of the schools, only 204 votes havihg been cast against the bond is sue and even less opposition to the 10 cent tax, for salaries.'" IN RECORDER'S COURT O. I). Godwin and Byrd Cases Come UpOther Cases Heard Yesterday. The cases against Lubby Byrd and O. D. Godwin, white, who engaged in a battle with complications, in which a blockade still was involved, were in recorder's court yesterday. Byrd was found not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. A cgje alleging re tailing of whiskey was held open, as was Godwin's case, until Tuesday. The latter was remanded to jail in default of $200 bond. James Bullard, charged with vio lating traffic laws, failed to answer and a capias was issued. James Mc Koy, sentenced to six months for re tailing, with leave to hire out, came into court with a plea of nolo conten dere, and sentence was changed so that he gave bond for $100 for good be havior, to appear each first Monday and show a clean bill. George Lucas, assault, paid the costs and prayer for judgment was continued. Cliff Kelly, juvenile, was paroled with his father, William Kel Jy for six months, after a hearing on charge of using a deadly weapon.

C.SATURDAY, THANK OFFERINGS FOR ORPHANAGES Special Donations Requested During Thanksgiving Week. Religions Organizations Ask for Gen erous Contributions for Homeless ' Children Masons to Give One' Day's Wage to Orphanage. It is the custom each year during the Thanksgiving season for the churches and lodges maintaining orphanages to collect contributions as a special thank offering, and the cus tom will prevail this year as usual. Already several religious organizations have sent out appeals for donations for this purpose. Thanksgiving week has been set aside by the churches in general all over the United States to secure a thank offering for the orphanages, and the people have been asked to contri bute liberally to the fatherless and motherless children under the care and protection of homes dependent for their support on these contributions. The Masons of North Carolina are particularly urged to contribute at least xme day's wages to Oxford orphanage, which is supported by their order. This was the first orphanage established in North Carolina. While it is supported by Masonry, other than children of Masons are admitted to its doors. In fact, only about 25 per cent of the inmates of this home, are children of Masons. The appeal for a thank offering for this orphanage therefore, is extended to all generous citizens. Those wishing to contribute should communicate with I. W. Solo mon, chairman of the Oxford orphanage committee, or A. S. Holden, secretary of St. John's lodge, or write directly to the orphanage. Mr. Holden as received a letter from Grand Master George S. Norfleet, of Winston-Salem, urging that Masons give liberal support to the orphanage this Thanksgiving season. Copy of the letter, which is addressed to all Ma sons of North Carolina, follows: "For the past few years there has been a beautiful custom among many North Carolinians of giving one day's earnings to the orphanage of their choice, as a Thanksgiving offering. If this annual gift should be made by all of our citizens, no orphans' home in the state would ever have to solicit funds. "Masonry had the honor and privi lege of establishing the first orphanage in North Carolina, so why shouldn't Masonry be the first to put its home. on the right financial basis? "During the past year ant' a half our people have been called upon to finance the greatest; enterprises the world has ever seen. They have re sponded in a magnificent way, buying 'war stamps and Liberty bonds and making liberal gifts to the Red Cross-, Y. M. C. A., and all other great war activities. The Masons of North Caro lina have been among the leaders in all these efforts, and- I congratulate and thank you for your splendid work "Oxford orphan asylum needs ..your help-' 'this year more than ever before, for two reasons: First, because the ever increasing cost of all food sup plies, clothing and other necessities of life has made our expenses greatly exceed those of last year; you know this is a fact by your own living ex penses. Second, because our singing class had to abandon its tour on ac count o fthe influenza epidemic, there by cutting off several thousand dollars of our usual revenue. "I, therefore, most earnestly appeal to every mason in North Carolina to give one day's earnings, whatever it may be, or more, to orphanage this year, as a thank offering to God for His goodness to you. "Surely this is a time when we "should be most thankful. The awful scourge -f disease and death which has been all over our state has about run its course. The armies of the allies and of our own great country have won a magnificent victory for the cause of liberty and freedom through out the world, and for all these things our people should be, and I know are, most grateful. Let your gratitude ex press itself in your gift to Oxford orphanage. "As soon as you read this appeal, sit down and mail your check to Brother R. L. Brown, superintendent Oxford, N. C." FUNERAL FOR PORTO RICANS Eight ' Islanders to be Interred in the National Cemetery This Morning Eight more Porto Ricans have died at Fort Caswejl, pneumonia, according to report received from the fort yester day afternoon. The bodies" of the dead men will be conveyed to' the city this morning on the steamer Morrison for interment in the national cemetery. Funeral service will be conducted at 11:30 o'clock at the grave-side by Father C. Dennen, of St. Marys Pro Cathedral, and a military burial similar to that given the other Porto Ricans interred here will be accorded. These make a total of 22 Porto Ricans originally brought here on the City of Savannah who have succumbed to pneumonia since leaving their na tive island. Colonel Chase, commandant of Fort Caswell, says there are still several other Porto Ricans at the hospital who are seriously ill wth pneumonia. Every care and the best medical lattentfbn have been given them and every ef fort is being made to check the ravages of pneumonia among those left at the fort hospital.

Councilmen do not like the idea of being accused of "passing the buck" In the matter of allowing a carnival to come here. Having eliminated ob jections to the carnival on moral 'and economic grounds, there remained the question of health, which the council men claim is strictly a matter for the board of health. Embodying this idea is the following statement Issued yes terday and signed by Mayor, Moore and every member of council except Mr. McCaig, who is out of town: "Attention of the mayor and council being called to the report in the morn ing paper of the action "of the board of health in the adoption of a resolu tion on the 21st inst. relating to car nivals, particularly that portion of the report which refers to a certain mem ber of the board of heaUh expressing the opinion that council was making an effort to escape proper responsi bility in the matter, and also to the quoted statement of the health officer, the council without any desire to pro voke controversy, "'considers proper to make a statement of its position in the matter. "The matter came before council at a special meeting called for another purpose, at which time council was asked to prohibit carnivals upon sub stantially three, grounds, namely, pub lic morals, public health and the tak ing of money away from the commun ity. The objection on the ground that the carnival would be detrimental to public morals was not especially urg ed. Council did not feel justified in assuming that the proposed shows would be immoral. The objection on the ground that the carnival would take money out of the community was one which council felt the people of the city individually should consider and control. As to the objection to the carnival on grounds of public health, the council was advised that the law creating the board of health of Wilmington and New Hanover coun ty commits to that board all matters relating to health and sanitation, and that the council was, therefore, with out authority to determine the matter as "a health or sanitary measure. "The health officer made no official recommendation to the council. It would seem that the member of the board of health who saw fit to criti cise the council would do well to in form himself as to the authority of the board of which he is a member. "P. Q.

BETWEEN lOO AND 150 CASES INFLUENZA NOW IN THE CITY Not Alarming, Says Health Officer Low, But Should Be a Warning. Dr. Charles E. Low, health officer, stated yesterday that there are now from 100 to 150 cases of influenza in Wilmington, or more than the average number of cases during the aftermath of the big epidemic. Not all these cases are new ones, but most of the cases have appeared since November 11, when everybody able to toddle ap peared on the streets and celebrated the signing of the armistice. - That peace celebration ia charged with a decided relapse in Greensboro and other towns in the state and else where in the country. The mingling together of thousands of people is be lieved to have given influenza a good chance to spread itself, and is held di rectly responsible for hew cases in most of the communities where there has been a recrudesence of the disease. Dr. Low does not see any cause for alarm in the number of cases here at this time. "It is not alarming," he said, "but it should be a warning." The warning, he thinks, should be suffi cient notice to everybody to watch his step and observe the advice that has been repeatedly given. DIES IN RICHMOND Former Resident of This City is A Victim of Pneumonia. Mrs. Edna C Henry, wife of A. Pres ton Henry, dtO'i in a Richmond hos pital at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, according ti news received here later in the day. Pneumonia was the cause of death. The body is expected to reach the city on the morning train today and will be taken immediately to Oakdale cemetery where the fun eral service will be held and inter ment made. Mrs. Henry was the daughter of E. C. Craft, of Wrightsville sound. She lived in Wilmington for some time prior to her marriage and was well known here and much loved by many friends, who are grieved to learn of her untimely death. Her husband and father were with her when the end came. Surviving, in addition to Mr. Hsnrj' and Mr. Craft are her step mother, two half-brothers, Harry Craft, Campevier, and Edward Craft, Wrightsville sound, and her half-sister, Norma Louise Craft. HEAD-ON COLLISION Street Car and Ford Go Together at Froirt and Dawson. A Ford roadster, owned by D. L. Hanson and driven by Alebrt Milliner, was badly damaged yesterday morning in collision with a strefet'ear at the corner of Front and Dawson streets.

The automobile was moving up Daw son and turned into Front. The street car was going south on Front, and it was stated by one who witnessed the accident that the driver had plenty of room to clear the street car and avoid the accident but apparently lost his head resulting in the collision.

State Food Administration Outlines In Conferences at Raleigh Plans for Increasing Supply of Food for v Exportation. A campaign for the relief of Euro pean countries facing food shortage and famine unless the United States goes to their rescue will be inaugu rated December 2, continuing through December 7, according to plans for mulated at the conference of county food administrators with State Food Administrator ITenry A. Page held in Raleigh Wednesday and Thursday. The week of December 2-7 has .been designated by the food aamlnlstra tion as "world relier week," and dur ing that period an effort will be made to arouse the people of North Caro lina to the great necessity continued economy of food supplies in order to relieve the sufferings of stricken peo ples in Europe. New Hanover county was represent ed at the conference in Raleigh by. Mrs. M. L. gtover, of the county food administration, and Miss Florence Jef fress, county home demonstration agent, both of whom returned to the city yesterday. The fact was em phasized at the conference, they state, that the coming of peace has increased rather than decreased the demand for food for export, the minimum now needed for foreign countries being twenty million tons instead "5t eigh teen million tons which would have been required had the war continued. The starving millions in Europe, one of the speakers at the conference stat ed, must be fed as a humanitarian duty as well as a means of effectively pre serving law and order in the nations recently at war. Among the speakers at the confer ence was Franklin W. Fort, a member of Hoover's staff, who delivered a stir ring message direct from the chief of the national food administration. He told of the needs of the countries in western Europe and urged that every county food administrator return to his community and impress upon the citizens of his county the great need for further food conservation. Restrictions on the use of sugar will be removed after December 1, accord ing to an announcement from Mr. Hoover which was discussed at length during the conference. The food ad ministration, it was state'd, has pro tected the supply of sugar for the American people by purchasing, in conjunction with the allies, the next Cuban sugar crop. Arrangements have been made with the various pro ducers and refiners in the United States as will assure a price of nine cents a pound wholesale for sugar during the next 12 months, Mr. Hoover stated. As a iesult of these arrangements and the fact that eastern sugars will be available. Mr. Hoover says that the American people will need to observe little or no restraint in consumption AGAIN COMMAN DRESS GOODS, SILKS AND VELVETS $1.00 half wool serge, 36.-inches wide, in all the sta ple shades, at 78c $2.00 all wool French Serge and Granite Cloth, 40 inches wide, brown, caster, burgundy, gray, pur ple, black and taupe, at $1.59 $6.00 Costume Velvet, 42 inches wide, in practically all the new shades, at $4.98 $3.50 Navy Velveteen, 36 inches wide, at $2.75 $2.00 Silk Plaids, large assortment of rich patterns, 36 inches wide " $1.48 WASH GOODS, DOMESTICS AND TABLE LINENS 35c Dress Ginghams, nice assortment of. pretty plaids, at -5c 35S light stripe Galateas, 27 inches wide, at.. 25c No. 700 Wamasutta Lingerie, 36 inches wide, ten yards to bolt, $3.50 value, week-end price.. $2.89 35c Outing Flannels, light and dark colors, at. 30c 36-inch good quality bleaching, at 25c 72-inch Mercerized Table Damask, $1.25 value, OSc 20c Huck Towels, 12x27, hemmed, at OSc 20c Huck Towels, vbx27, hemmed, at 12c 50c Turkish Bath Towels plaid pattern, at.... 39c WEEK END NOTION SPECIALS 50e Taffeta Ribbons, 6 Inches wide, all colors 39c Ladies' $2.25 Walking Gloves, gray, white, tan and blackb all sizes, at...- $1.98 25c Children's fine rib black hose, sizes 4 to 1 jOnly, at . 15c 50c Ladles' Lisle Finish hose, black, or white.. 39c Ladles' $1.50 Onyx Silk Hose, light gray, sand and champagne, a .. $1.19 30c Misses.
