The 10 o'clock cur few, lately put into effect, hit Dubjin a hard blow. The city had. accommo dated itself easily to a midnight clos ; Ing hour previously in force, but the ; 10 o'clock embarg on all activity meant the complete abandonment of all social functions in the evening. The result has been to kill all the trade 1 serving such events. ; : The great stores are almost idle, and the managers of some of the most pop-kular-of them say that thev are onrat. lng at a loss. There is no demand for new aresses. The theatres are suffering most. At " one house, the first night after curfew . there were only eleven people rn the auditorium. The moving picture houses are doing better, but they all have to close at nine to enable their patrons ( to get ' home before the curfew hour. !;1 J, The music hall which used to open two :, houses a night have now only one.

I,- The regulation Is declared to be im posed, in the interest of the public to Indutse them to avoid the risks of being abroad after dark. In present condi tions, even if there were no curfew, many ' people would , be too timid to leave home in the evenings. , Still ' there is much criticism of the imposition of a curfew at 10 o'clock at night,' provoked by assassinations which took place at nine o'clock in the morning .; - JAPANESE SOCIALISTS ACTIVE TQKIO, Nov.- 24.'

J. S. Holmes, forester of the North Carolina Geolog ical and Economic survey, has gone to Washington to appear before a sub committee of the house committee on appropriations, in behalf of a federal appropriation for the purchase of ad ditional forest lands for the growth of timber and for the protection of state and private forests from fire. The federal government has already adopted this policy and now owns 'a large timber reserve in the Southern Appalachians, about 350,000 acres of which is in North Carolina; and has been co-operating with the . various state agencies in the protection of for ests from fire, this state receiving about $2,500 per year for this purpose under a co-operative arrangement be tween the geological survey and the United States forest service But all the funds appropriated hav been expended, and it is feared that the present congress will not renew the appropriation or will greatly reduce it.

The sub-committee of the house appropria tions committee, composed of Sydnor Anderson, Minnesota, chairman; W. W Magee, New York, and James F. Byrnes, South Carolina, meets Friday, and it is before this committee that' Mr Holmes and other foresters and lum bermen from the south and west will appear.
