D. McCaig, chairman of the finance committee, iDd endorsed without a dissenting vote, follow: Whereas, in keeping with the best thought upon the subject, the state of North Carolina some years since es tablished near Concord, N. C; the stonewall Jackson training school as an institution for the care, instruction an dimprovement of youthful offenders gainst the law; and "Whereas, tested by time and ex perience, the institution aforesaid has been one of great benefit and value to the people of this state, both in 'an economic and moral sense, and by reason of its accomplishments justly deserves the commendation and liberal support of the people-of the state; and, Whereas, the increase in the popu lation of the state is such that the fa cilities now provided at said institu tion and the appropriations now made bv the state for the support and main tenance of the same are inadequate and the work' of the institution is, therefore, handicapped and - greatly limited: "Now, therefore, resolved, that the council of the city- of Wilmington re snectfully endorses and approves the action of the state authorities in theT establishment and maintenance of said institution and rejoices with all good ritizens in the splendid results thus far accomplished by it. "Resolved further, that this council respectruny peiuions aim unca mtj next session of the general assembly jf North Carolina that adequate ap propriations be made for the support, maintenance and enlargement of said nstitution and its facilities, to the end that its work may continue and be so broadened as to meetvin a reasonable manner the needs and requirements of the state and its people. Resolved further, that upon the convening of the next general assem bb!y the city clerk and treasurer of the city of Wilmington be and is' here by directed to certify under the seal 3f his office and send to the piesiding officers of the senate and the house of representatives true copies of this res olution, and that like certified copies be furnished by the city clerk and treasur to the senator from this sen atorial district' and thai representative from New Hanover county in the next general assembly, with the request that such senator and representative will use their best efforts in behalf of the maters in these resolutions re ferred to." The need for larger facilities for :arin: for wayward boys and girls ?ame to the attention of city council a few weeks ago 'when a committee ap pointed by a New Hanover county srand jury, appeared before the body and asked for an appropriation for the maintenance of ten boys from this county at the Stonewall Jackson school. The committee had facts and 5gures and were in position, to show council that the need for Immediate action was urgent, as there were at that time in the neighborhood of 30 white boys and several young girls jarolled with the probation officer. At the time council voiced the opin ion that the city was undertaking to carry on the work that should be pro vided for by the state, but - they saw the need, made the appropriation and voted favorably on a motion favoring ie action that is taken in the reso lutions. Every pressure will be brought to sembly to have ihe appropriation necessary for the accommodation of ill delinquents in the state made at its sext meeting early in 1919. ADDRESS OF BRITISH WOMAN STIRS INTEREST Coming of Mrs. Burnett Smith, Noted Writer of England, Expected to Fill the" Academy. Much; interest has been aroused by the, announcement that Mrs. Burnett Smith, the widely known English novelist and lecturer who is now speaking in this country, will deliver an address at the Academy of Music Thursday night at 8 o'clock under th.e auspices of the food administration. The administration board is engaged in preparing a program for the even ing which undoubtedly will prove a source of entertainment for all who at tend the meeting. While the principal event of the evening is the address by Mrs. Smith, the program will also in clude several appropriate musical- se lections. The Red Cross chapter hails been in vited to participate with th food ad ministration on this occasion, and all members of the Red Cross are expect ed to be present. The exeoutive com mittee of the Red gross chapter and members of the county food adminis tration will occupy seats on' the stage with the speaker. , - ; Mrs. Smith has been: sent to America by the British ministry of food to bring a message of thankfulness from the people of Great Britain for the help given them by Americans in sav ing food for them wben'Sheir own food was practically gone and the war situation, because of the lack of fod, very precarious. She also bears a spe cial message from the 'mothers of England to the mothers of this coun try thanking them for keeping their children from starvation by sending them food. Mrs. Smith is a worthy representa tive of the war-tried woman of Eng land. Her husband, a noted British surgeon, has been for more than two years actively engaged at the front. Her only daughter, who -has been in Prance for four years driving an am bulance, has been many times under fire. Her home in Hertford was destroyed by a zeppelin early In the war and she and her servants escaped death only because they had disobeyed orders and gone out into the garden to watch the raid instead of staying indoors. Her husband's large practice has been ruined by the war and all th;eir per sonal fortune is gone. Yet, like so many others of her countrymen who have suffered so. much, no one has ever heard her utter one word of complaint. MANY DEEDS FILED FIVE1 ESTEEMED YOUNG LADT DIES.

Cbriartmas Roll Call Promise to Ex ceed Most Optimistic Predictions 740 New Members Yesterday Prospects Bright. The Red Cross Christmas roll call opened yesterday with a very promis ing start. Canvassing committees, ac cording to reports turned in at head quarters on Princess street yesterday evening, met hearty and unhesitating responses in their appeals for new members. When headquarters closed at 6 o'clock, 749 new members had been secured. This number, with 17 mem bers who renewed their membership during the early part of the month, brings the total of those who had an swered the roll call .at the end of the first day to 766. W. A. McGirt, chairman of details, forwarded the following telegram to headquarters of the southeastern divis ion, of the American Red Cross at Atr lanta: "Wilmington chapter reports 749 new members today, making a to tal to date f 766 members." The committee at Headquarters, which is under the direction of Mrs. Henry Woollcott, was kept busy all through the day signing up new mem bers. Thirty-four persons came in and voluntarily offered to enlist with the Red Cross. The committee operating booths at the post office and at retail stores secured an unusually large number of new members. This com mittee, of which Mrs. L. B. Sasser is chairman, reported 188 names added to the roll call, with a total of $198 re ceived during the day's work. Thie committee soliciting members in the residential sections brought in a total of 246 names and a cash amount xf $248. x Mrs. J. M. Solky, chairman of this committee, has organized a strong working force and expects to have a Red Cross service flag in every home in the city when the roll call has been completed. The comjnittee canvass ing the business section under the di rection of James H. Cowan, city chair man, also made a good record, secur ing 110 new members and a total of $124. The church committee, headed by L, Dozier Latta, gained 164 new members and $171 Sunday through va rious churches in the city. No reports were received from th Atlantic Coast Line, the rural districts, the negro organization and several other committees. The executive com mittee estimated last night that the results of the roll call for the first day would exceed 1,000 new members if reports from these committees had been sent to headquarters. Members of the executive commit tee were very enthusiastic over the excellent results of the first day of the roll call and expressed the belief that today will show a big Increase over the number of new members en rolled yesterday. SHOPPERS WARNED AGAINST FMJ Board of Health Sugfetits That Extra Precautions Be Observed. While there is no occasion to' become unduly alarmed over the likelihood of another epidemic of influenza invad ing Wilmington, provided the citizens use precautionary measures suggested by the board of health, health officers of the county have issued a warning against crowding in stores and on the streets while attending to Christmas shopping during the holiday season. Such crowding, members of the board of health declare, is likely to cause a second outbreak of influenza unless steps are taken to prevent the spread of "flu" germs. Christmas shopping has been in progress several days and the stores of the city are thronged with custo mers almost every hour of the day. This affords an excellent opportunity for the insidious influenza germs to spread. The health department has suggested that during the holidays, while the stores are congested with shoppers, extra precautions should be used. Whether In a store, bank, theatre or on the street the shopper should muffle his cough or sneeze in a handkerchief in order to protect those around him. Officials of the health department also advise that patients convalescing from influenza should remain at home until they have completely recovered. If these suggestions are put into ef fect, the health department believes they will assist largely in preventing a. recurrence of the influenza epidemic. The board of health states that phy sicians are requested .and expected to report all cases of influenza as soon as they are discovered. MORE BLOOD SMEARS NEEDED Only About One Third of Those De sired for Malaria Index Secured. Several months ago the 'city's public health nurses, under the guidance of Miss Gethyn B. Rugan, microscopist of the public health service, began col lecting blood .smears for the determi nation of the malarial index of the city. The board of health deemed it advisable to make a malaria Index for the purpose of determining the present malaria rate in the city. Next year a similar index iwlll be taken, and 'the difference will indicate the effective ness of the-anti-malaria campaign now being waged under the direction of Lieut. A. W. Fuchs of the public health service. While the ;citizens of Wilmington have cooperated admirably with the department In allowing the nurses to take the necessary smears? there are still a few who through lack of appre ciation of the importance of the work have hesitated in offering the single drop of blood required for the smear. The department gives the assurance that no pain worse than a slight pin prick isfelt swhen the drop of blood is taken from the finger. Even, small children are not disturbed by the quick, skillful work . of the trained nurses. " . To date about ne 'third of the one thousand smears desired have been obtained,- and it is hoped that with the hearty co-operation of everyone the nurses ,will soon be able to complete the work. News Stand Robbed. . Gordon's news stand, located on the north side of .Princess street between Front and Water, was entered' during Sunday night and 64 pennies stolen from the cash drawer., Nothing else was missed but drawers to .a desk; had been ransacked,; "Officers- are .on the look out for the thief. ' TO MAKE INSPECTION OF SIDEWALKS AND STREETS ; s City Engineer Will Locate All Places That Are Dangerous Recent Jury Verdict the Cause. A close inspection of every street and sidewalk in the city Is to be made by City Engineer. N. Johnson as soon as practicable and a comprehensive re port of his finding is to be made to council an dembodied in the minutes of the meeting. This will be done lo ascertain the locations of places which may be term ed a menace to the Safety of pedes trians and the public generally, and comes as the result of the verdict of a jury in superior court last week giv ing judgment! for $3,800 against the city for personal injuries sustained when the plaintiff in the action fell on Front street sidewalk at a point where there is a steep grade. This decision was reached at the regular meeting of city council last night. Nothing was said about what -action would be taken in correcting any men ace which may be found to exist in the cityi It is probable, however, that the property owners wlU be notified to make improvements at once and the street or sidewalk blocked off and a notice posted warning the public of the existing menace. A record of all proceedings looking t othe correction of any dangerous condition, which may be of assistance to the city attorney in future damage suits, will be kept. Several places in the sidewalks in the down town district were pointed out last .night, among them being a sunken water trap at the corner of Front and Princess streets, and the glass in the sidewalk on the west side of Front street just above the Peoples Savings bank, and also in front of the Mission Pharmacy. Councilmen "went so far as to even suggest that the side walk in front of the latter be blocked off, saying the proprietor of the drug store had been warned. It was stated that the glass blocks which admit light into the basement have been broken out leaving a small hole just about the right size to catch the heel of a lady's shoe. No action will be taken until after the report of the en gineer. , Supt. John J. Blair, of the city schools, and S. M.-Boatwright members of the Parks and Playground commis sion, were before council last night re lative t the planting of trees and shrubery at different points in the city. Mr. Blair stated that the conr mission would like to plant about 49' live oaks and 140 crape myrtle plants on fifth street between Red Cross and Castle. The matter of an appropria tion was referred to the finance com mittee with power to act, while mem bers of the commission were requested to confer with the city attorney and draw up an ordinance covering the planting -of trees In the city with the idea to make tree planting more uni form . It was stated by Councilman MoCaig that the Atlantio Coast Line is desiri ous of having the water main extend ed to their property line near the cor ner of Eighth and Bladen streets so the company can take ne main there and extend it for some distance down the yard to give fire -protection for cars on sidings. The Coast Line, of course, would pay the regular rate for the fire protection. The possibility of "getting permis sion of the company to extend the city main under the 'railroad tracks at that point and. on to the Love Grove section of4 the city was discussed. This, it 'was stated, would save about four blocks of piping In extending the wa ter main to that part of the city, funds for which have already been made available. There was no action taken relative to permitting the sale of fire crackers in the city, which means that none will be sold since a city ordinance pro vidwed against it. Chief Charles Schnibben, of the fire department, .had written Col. James R. Young, state In surance commissioner, concerning the matter, who replied strongly urging against permitting the sale or use of. fire works anywhere In the city. Councilman E. A. Metts in charge of the water and sewer-, department, brought up the matter of consolidat ing the water and sewerage charges. and providing for all service chargesJ to be paid by the person getting tne service at the time collections are due. He favored the change to become ef fective "April 1, but no action -was taken pending an investigation by city attorney looking to the retirement of all ' sewer charges by essessing the property a certain amount to be pay able in 10 annual payments. After the tenth payment there would be no fur ther charges for sewer service. , Attention was called to the request of the board of health for a supple ment to the health budget and to that for an appropriation for the establish ment and maintenance of a clinic for the treatment of venereal disease, but no action was taken. A conference with officials of the board of health is desired before the additional appro priation is made. - MEMBERS OF CO. B GO TO CHARLOTTE TO DEMOBILIZE BUSINESS MEN WILT HELP DEVELOP PORT Enthusiastic Meeting Held Yes terday, Afternoon. Assurance Is. Received That Financial and Moral Support Will be Given the South Atlantic Maritime Association. The second meeting of the Wilming ton business" men in the interest of the South Atlantic ' Maritime as sociation, a corporation formed for the purpose of working for the mutual in interest of the ports of Wilmington, Charleston, Brunswick, Savannah and Jacksonville, was held in the chamber of commerce assembly room at noon yesterday at which time assurance was received that merchants of this city will stand behind the proposition both, financially and from the coopera tive standpoint. A tentative organization was ef fected in Savannah some weeks ago, and a charter drawn oalllng for a paid in capital stock of $25,000 with $250, 000 authorized. Five thousand is- to be subscribed by the business men of each of the -five cities. There will be no trouble in securing the ?5,000 in Wil mington; in fact one man, following the meeting last Friday, stated that he iwould gladly subscribe for $1,000. him- i self rather than see Wilmington lose j out on the proposition. However, the ! idea is to get as many Wilmington people as possible interested in it and in doing this the promoters are asking 60 men to subscribe $100 each. At the meeting- last Friday every man present readily agreed to subscribe $100, while the meeting yesterday was also a 100 per cent affair, the total number hav ing subscribed thus far being 29. This $5,000 is only a starter, but will be all the people of this city are ask ed to put up until the corporation Is in operation and results obtained. When ships are plying between Wil mington and Central and South Ameri can ports, as well as other ports easily accessible to the South Atlantic sea board cities, results will have been ob tained and then the remainder of the capital stock expected of Wilmington will be asked. The opinion in well informed circles is that when this amount Is called for, thre will be no trouble in getting .it; for by hat time it is expeoted that it will have been demonstrated that the corporation will not only mean the greatest develop ment for the port of Wilmington ever offered the city, but that it will be such a paying proposition that any one will be glad to subscribe to stook as an Investment.

The force stationed at the armory is composed of 61 men and 4 officers, only about half of Company B's full strength. They acted as guards on the water-front and at the Liberty ship yard before hostilities ceased, but with the signing of the armistice the ne cessity for guarding these places with military forces has in a large meas ure been removed. Company B is al most a "Rainbow? company, as it is made up of men from almost every state in the union, including Ken tucky, New York, Ohio, Florida and Georgia.
