These indi viduals seem to be getting ip. their sh9w" on the theory that everybody who hejped put Harding over will be welcomed and they are not waiting for invitations from the "silk elova" ei- ment. Chairman McLean and hls aides pin,t out that the inaugural, ceremo nies and atendant functions are prima rilyj social and not political. Resent wiloalan Tamcneu . Washington Bociety has secretlv r sented the' "tameness" of the two last inaugurations and especially the elimi nation of the inaugural ball. The man- "agers of the Hardine inaueural hav assured those who are looking forward expectantly to invitations to this af rair that its revival is assured Proprietors of Washington hotels, restaurants, rooming houses and "oth ers iwho will benefit by the presence of the i great throngs which are expected are not asleep on the job. The hotel managers have already had a meeting and agreed' to double rates for Inaugu ration week, and accommodations will be preserved only by written contract. Transient guests who Just "happen" to oe ftere at the ime will be Invited to vackte their rooms. before the ceremo nies begin to make way for the inaugu ral visitors. Restaurants are trying to decide whether to adopt a 20 or 3u ptr cent advance in food prices for the week as the proper figure. All in all, it looks like a big week for the prof-iteersj- who have found the picking very slim. Residents of the capital are looking forward somewhat apprehensively to Inaugural week. Whereas it seems a "lot of fun" for the visitor, if he, has the; means to enjoy himself, outside. of those who are fortunate enough to se cure places with high sounding titles on the inaugural committee or who own hotels, restaurants, taxicab lines ; or something which affords opportunity to "gouge" the visitors, the local popu lace dread the crowding and inconve nience of inauguration week, when long queues form at eating places, the atres and all public centers. 1 - Former Inaugurals Brilliant . Old-timers whose memory' runs back a generation recall that the first Cleve land inaugural in 1884 was an inspir ing1 affair. It was later eclipsed by t,he McKinley inaugurals, reaching a cli--max in 1901. In that year frantic tel egrams were sent out at the. last min ute! in an effort to-stop the flood.

Four years ago the cloud of impend ing war hung .over the inaugural and khaki-clad troops" with glistening bayonets lined the space in front of the capitol where President Wilson de livered his inauguration address .and also guarded the line of march.

The "falling off" in business has not relieved the housing proposition in Lumberton. While some few are moving into ;; the country there is a crying demand: for residences here and it is probable that some will have to leave town for: the lack of a place to live. Very few resi IN THE RIVER SEVERN Gigantic Scheme of British Construction Engineer LONDON, Jan. 1. The British min istry, of transport has just made pub lic a scheme to harness the tidal waters of the river Severn at a cost ot BO.ooo.ooo pounds, and to erect a power plant greater than that of Ni agara Falls. The Severn divides Eng- dences have been erected here during land from Wales the last two years, but it is thought i The project is an outcome of the from Swain county, where they had' gone on a tip that "Babe" Burnett, charged with killing Prohibition Agent J. H. P.ose several weeks ago, was in hiding. They were unable to locate the man after two nights of searching. Dr. C. V. Burnett came into Max shall this morning and surrendered to Sheriff J. J, Bailey, on charge of kill ing Henry Peace on Christmas day. He was granted bond by Judge P. A. McElroy in the sum of $2,500 for ap pearance before the February term of of superior eourt for Madison county. The killing took place at he home of Simeon Chandler In the Laurel section of the county, where Burnett is said to have been-called on professional busi ness. It is charged that Peace went there declaring shat he planned to run Burnett off the place. A fight occured in which Peace was. killed. FORMER EMPRESS EUGENIE LEFT ESTATE OP 10 MILLION NOME, 'Alaska. (Correspondence of the Associated Press). Apuktawana, a lone male member of the far northern mysterious tribe cf "blond Eskimos." the discovery of which has been cred ited to .Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Cana dian explorer, recently was brought by traders to Nome from his home on the southern thores of Coronation gulf, lo cated on Canada's northern rim. Nome residents thought that only in his dress did he differ from the Eskimo of this region. ' Joe. Bernard, Nome trader, who brought the "blond" Eskimo out, said he intended to take him to the- United States to show outsiders what sort of people the strange Eskimos are. The I native was of stout build, with copper ! colored skin, straight black ' hair and dark brown eyes. Bernard said he was an example of the males of the "blond" tribe. I Some members of the tribe, Bernard asserted, have reddish brown hair and light eyes. They are scarcely light enough, however, he thinks, to be de scribed as blond. It was recalled here when Apuktawana arrived, that Stef ansson never described the tribe as "blond," and always" said newspaper men exaggerated his story and gave this mysterious tribe the name. Stef ansson's description was similar to that or Bernard's. that a building boom will strike during the next year. The new year brought very few business changes here. The injunction granted at the in stance of citizens of Rowland and Al efforts of Sir Alexander Gibb,, chief engineer, of ports construction in the British army during the war and builder of the great naval dockyard at Rosyth.

A I .3 M 1 i two months in Switzerland caused the Rhine and the Rhone to reach low lev els hitherto unknown. The famous Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen dwindled down to a mere trinkle and minor elec tric rai ways had to return to steam power. Barges, cargo boats and other river ciart were strung along the shores of the Rhine for miles unable to reach Bjisle. Motoring in England has been in ex istence for 25 years. '' R. E. Lewis from collecting taxes in these townships has been dissolved and the action dismissed. Council for both plaintiffs and defendants agreed to this horse-power at its peak load capacity and that it would save 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 tons of coal a year. ' It is claimed that it would revolutionize thw action. The injunction was brought wnoie mausiry or tne west or ngiana several weeks ago and tax collections and e.ven supply London with cheap in these . townships had been held up since that time. There were 61,574 bales of cotton ginned in "the state of Robeson" from the crop of 1920 prior to December 13. as compared with 60,397 bales to the same date last ' year or 1,177 more bales this year than last. It is thought the Robeson crop will total around 75, 000 bales.. Much of the crop is still in the hands of the growers. Recorder David H. Fuller has expe rienced a busy week as an aftermath of Christmas. Eighteen cases have been aired and seevral were continued for various reasons. Harrell Thompson, a young whlt$ ' man, given a three months' road sentence when convicted of having more than one gallon of whisky in his possession for sale. Offi cers found the whisky in Thompson's auto soon after he reached town from his home, si'xe miles from Lumberton. . Saddletree township, Robeson coun ty, voted down a $20,000 road bond is sue yesterday, the vote being sixteen for the issue and 100 against. This was the second township out of a total of twenty-one that have held road bond elections to vote fhe issue dwn. Cupid was busy in Robeson about Christmas time, twenty-eight applica tions having been made for marriage license. The number did not equal that of. Christmas, 1919, However. A marriage of interest took place Tuesday ' afternoon when Miss Sallie Bryan and Raymond L. Spivey. a popu lar young couple who live near Lum berton, were married. The marriage took place at the home of the bride's father, William Bryan and Rev. Dr; G. electric current A concrete dam would bet placed across the river creating a locked basin 27 miles in extent into which vessels could pass through a chan nel. It is estimated that the under taking would provide work for 250, 000 me"n for seven years. In the spring tides the Severn rises 38 feet, the sec and highest tide of the Bay of Fundy. The fact . that tidal waters have never been used for the genera tion -of electricity on such a vast scale, coupled with the big estimated cost of the scheme, make engineering, experts cautious in expressing views as to its feasibility. The Times editorially refers to the project as "somewhat, flamboyant." The consent of parliament must be obtained before the scheme can be put into operation.

The most romantic touch in the will of the former Em press Eugenie of France, probate on which has just been granted. Is her be quest o" a little Greuze portrait to Sir John Burgoyne, on whose yacht she escaped from France to England on September 6, 1870, two days after the fall of the French empire. , It was Dr. Evans, an American den tist, who brought the empress in dis guise to Deauville, and she' secretly em barked on Burgoyne's yacht at mid night, an hour after the vessel had been searched by the French police, j Eugenie, who was once considered the most beautiful - woman of Europe, and who died In Madrid on July 11 last, aged 94, left an estate estimated at over $10,000,000. Deposited' at the record office along with the will is a copy which Eugenie wrote with her own hands, when the Germans were bombing London and she feared the original might be destroyed. JUDGE J. C. PRITCHARD LEAVES THE HOSPITAL After Long Lilness He Is Able To Return To His Home (Special to Tne Star) . ASHEVILLE, Jan. 1. Judge J. C. Pritchard. presiding officer of the fourth circuit court of appeals, who has been very ill at a local hospital for several weeks, was able t return to his home today. He is not well yet, but his family and friends hope that he will soon be completely re covered. , . . Prohibition agents returned "today SHOULD COMPLETE SERVICE Counties alone are spending $4,780, 000 a year toward the co-operative extension- work in agriculture and home economics under the Smith-Lever act, the secretary of agriculture announced in his annual report to the President. In 1914 they were contributing only $780,000. He cited this to show how the farmers themselves are supporting the extension service. He declared that this broad develop ment of the system is one of the most notable events in agriculture in recent years. There are now 2,000 agricul tural agents. 800 home demonstration agents, and 300 county leaders of boys' and girls clubs. The secretary urged that the system be completed as rap idly as conditions warrant by reaching the 650 rural. counties which now have no agricultural agents and 1.800 with out home demonstration agents, and by extending farm , boys' and girls' club work. . DUBLIN, Jan. 1. Insurance oojn-paV nie, mostly English, have done a brisk' business in Ireland in issuing polioUa against loss due. to civil commotion. Everybody - has an uneasy feeling that his house is not sate from the oon ' sequences of the conflict between th ' government and its enemies. Many per sons have suffered whom nobody in tended to Injure. The market for in surance policies, therefore, has been very active. The ordinary . fire and accident poli- ' jt.;Uv:i the results of civil war or disturbance of public order which the new policies are meant to cover. 1$ has , been dis covered, however, that a clause ih many of the new policies might render them valueless and leave a victim who had paid his premium no better off than be fore.. It -is provided that in order to re-r cover a loss the sufferer must be ab.le to show that neither he nor any of his servants has been a member of an iller gal organization responsible for dist turbance. On the face of it this seeing reasonable, but there are many individ uals and still more important firms who could not apswer for the political af filiations of all the members of their staffs. Lately some of the most respectable. firms in Dublin owned by unionists and wealthy men unconnected with politics have been raided by the forces of . the crown in search of suspected employes " whose private affairs were entirely un known to their employes. If these em, ployers started rooting out the Sinn Feiners from their staffs the unpopu larity thereby provoked might easily ruin their business. The facts throw an interesting sidelight on the ordinary conduct of life In Ireland under guerilla warfare. Trouble has arisen hy the action-of. the British commission which since. the! great war controls the sugar snpply It has issued instructions to English wholesalers that they must not. while the present disturbance continues, sup ply Irish sugar retailers with any sugar except for cash down.v and this order applies even to firms whose solvency: is undoubted. . v, I "'I'M The used of steel tires "-on jnotor ve hicles 4s. prohibited in'- Connecticut ) ; ti.v 8 r i n The automotive industry in the Unit ed States provides work for 930,000 per sons, with an estimated annual earning of more than $747,000,000.
