TEN ' EVERY COTTAGE TAKENfOne-i HbspitoZ tend, secured AT BEACH FOR COMING SEASON, REPORTS SHOW Beach Expert Coming5 to Confer With Property Owners Next Friday The greatest demand for cottages at Wrightsville Beach in the history of that resort has been experienced dur ing the past few weeks and, "as a result, every cottage available had been leased, according to a statement made by Mayor Thomas H. Wright, f the resort city. The demand during recent days Mr. Wright stated, had become so great that form letters of regret had been contemplated to save time in ans wering the numerous inquiries. This, despite what is considered very un favorable reports on the beach as a result of the heavy blow of some few weeks ago, is taken as evidence by Mr. Wright and other large property owners at the beach that the resort has grown in popularity and that the most successful season in its history will be that of 1921. Two cottages are being erected on Wrightsville Beach extension at this time by Dr. Joseph M. Hanby, Mayor Wright stated yesterday, and other re alty owners are showing faith in . the future of the resort by planning the construction of additional cottages. Plans are also being made, it is said, for an early repair to those houses damaged by the recent heavy winds. It was further stated yesterday that Prof; Lewis M. Haupt. noted beach ex pert, will be here Friday to consult with Mayor . Wright and others as to the best and quickest method of deal ing with the problems confronting re sort realty owners. Recent winds and resultant high tides resulted in the waters creeping in, causing the fear, Sr. some circles, that irreparable in jury had been done to the' beach. This fear has already been counteracted, if not disproved, by the action of the tide in replacing much of the sand carried away, and the reputation of Prof. Haupt is such that owners are confident he will speedily suggest a way where-by the recent damage may not only be completely repaired but possibilities of similar happenings. In the future will be greatly diminished. For the past 'several weeks, Prof. Haupt has been employed by the United States government in halting the erosion that threatened the exist ence of the famous Barnegat light house. Waters had cut periliously close to the foundations of the famous guardian of the Barnegat shoals, and Prof. Haupt was called in to save the structure. In Leslie's Weekly of January 21, a full-page picture of the lighthouse, togetherwith details of Mr. Haupt's work, appeared. It is not known just how long the services of Mr. Haupt will be required, but whatever measures he suggests to anay rears wju oe adopted, in the meantime, it is stated, the tides are steadily replacing the sand borrowed i few weeks ago.

The meeting, which was preceded by a luncheon, was full of "pep" from the very start, the members of Kiwanis club, assembled in' a body, being the guests of honor and giving up their regular meeting in order to attend the luncheon. The jolly Kiwanians made the "lion roar" time and time again, adding much to the merriment of the occasion. Chairman Frank Dean, after calling the assemblage to order, so as to get down to business, introduced W. H. Sprunt, of the hospital board of direc tors, Mr. Sprunt was most happy in his remarks of appreciation on behalf of the board of directors and the hos pital staff. -J4e thanked the Kiwanians for appearing in full force and ex pressed appreciation to all the other workers. He declared that the hospi tal treats 2,700 people a year and that the institution needed support in or der to render the best service and measure up to requirements. He urged the workers to put forth their very best efforts to make a success of the drive. Following Mr. Sprunt, Campaign Di rector. Honey made a popular an nouncement. He stated that two hand some silver baskets, the gift of a gen erous and enthusiastic hospital sup porter, had been donated as trophies for a contest between the teams.

"We are going to win," declared one enthusiastic worker yesterday after noon.

APPROVE ANTI-MOSQUITO BUT CAN'T GIVE MONEY Council Not Willing to Act For Next Set of Officials The fact that a new council will take over the affairs of the city in May was given as the chief reason for the refusal yesterday morning of o request for $5,000, half of the sum needed to wage - the anti-mosqulto campaign in Wilmington, made by Dr. J. H. Hamil ton, of the county board of health. The city council was unwilling to pledge or give the sum, the stand being taken that the money was not in hand and the members did not have power to dispose of t,hat which will be in the city's coffers later. Health experts recently completed an anti-mosquito survey of the city, Dr Hamilton pointed out, and among the work that is necessary to prevent nu merous cases of malaria, is the re pairing of the Green Mill creek dam Other drainage projects were also covered in the report of the experts' printed in full in The Star last Sun day. -and must be accomplished, the doctor declared. Because of lack of funds at the end of last summer, Dr. Hamilton stated much of the work had to be stopped and as a result, much complaint has arisen in various parts of the city Councilmen defined their position and went on record In favor . of the? ap propriation, and in a resolution urged the succeeding council to make the ap propriation. Sf ice three ; members of thepresent body are certain to hold over and they being favorable to the continuance of the work, it is felt there will be little if any question about the appropriation ; being made later. . . : r ERROR I?T ADVERTISEMENT Through , an ' error :' appearing in the Star Wednesday morning, a "run" resulted on the sales rooms of the Manufacturers' Sales company, next to the Hotel Wilmington. - An error hart dresses priced from $7.60 to 1 16 when! !t anouici naye been M7.60 to f$.

QUEST FOR YELLOW MAY BE VERY DIFFICULT ONE Hard Going, for Hanson. Against Metro Saturday Night Hanson may locate the yellow streak he claims Charles Metropolios, hard boiled Greek, is carrying around with him when they meet in their finish match on. the Academy mat Friday night but that particular Streak about which the Swede likes 10 . talk will hardly be found before the New. Eng lander opens up with'his-meanness and then It may be too late, for Metropolois has a method in his madness. Fans who read last week's account of the Greek's match with old Joe Turner, which appeared in Saturday's Charlotte Observer, are inclined to think; the Swede is going to fare badly at the hands of the .visitor. They think Hanson is doing a very unwise thing in seeking to send Metro off into tan trums on tho night of the match.'- And if Metro does run amuck they ; say Hanson should be required to-lookj out for himself and not expect too much of the . referee since the Swede has urged fans to send Metro after him in knock down dras out style. Metro will not reach the city until Friday. Unlike VKld" Ellis he. will not come In several days in advance of the match and whip the Swede a dozen times on the street corner oefore tne match. He will come in .very quietly; Friday and will, not start. " anything until Friday! night. But things ara certain . to haDDen then and - happen fast'because' the Swede arid' Greek "both love each other ."terribly A 1 Cooke bill, lodging enforcement pow ers in the hands of the attorney gen eral of the state. It is declared that Governor -Morrison has frequently maintained that he could do more to enforce the liquor laws in the state with five lawyers and John Doe. proceedings than with scores of rural police. In a recent conference with friends of prohibition the gov ernor is said to have stated his views and in the reformed measure that will be offered by Representative Cooke in committee as a substitute for his for mer measure, the governor's Ideas will be incorporated. The right of drug stores to dispense the ardent will be eliminated from the substitute bill. The old features of $25 as an item on the bill of costs for violating the whiskey laws, except manufacturing, which wilt stipulate ?50, will be maintained, it is asserted, and this money, with the proceeds from the sale of confiscated property used In violation of the law, will come into the state treasury, except 25 per cent which will go to the officers making the' seiz ures or arrests. The part going to the state will be used for a state enforce ment Bystem. - The attorney general will be empow ered to employ "attorneys, constables and inspectors" and it is believed by friends of prohibition that the returns from the enforcement will be more than sufficient to make the department self supporting. An appropriation of $20,000, however, will be asked to put the work on a sound basis. It is understood that w"hile the meas1 ure is Deing re-drawn to accommodate the views of the governor, Mr. Morri son has not yet indorsed the measure itself. Under the law. the attorney general might send special attorneys and Inspectors into cerjain counties and by ad testificandum proceedings, throw out a drag net that would gather in numerous alleged violators of the pro hibition law. And, it is pointed out, this is the method that appeals to the governor much more than a state or county constabular force that the head or the organization would and other financial institutions of pot come to this state as originally an- North Carolina to charge "a maximum nounced. Commander Galbraith win ... . c o . rtri nnnctV be in Raleigh on Monday, February 21. interest of 8 per cent on money loaned He will go to Asheville on February when a contract or agreement is made 22 and to Chariotte -February 24. I to that effect. ' At the conclusion of AO wa? annunce? so.me "me a'lthe meeting, James H. Cowan, secre tary of the chamber, was instructed Commander Galbraith will address the North Carolina general assembly on Monday of next week. He will make the state legislature thoroughly familiar with the situation regarding the government hospitals in which the soldiers who were disabled in France are now receiving treatment, making particular reference to the 26 hospitals which are located in this state. It will not be the purpose of the legion head to make' his address in the nature of a plea. He will simply put the facts before ' the legislators that they may take whatever action they see fit. In co-operating with the Raleigh chamber of commerce, American Legion committees that have been ap pointed by State Commander Hogue are now making plans for a citizens' luncheon to. be held in Raleigh Mon day afternoon at 2 o'clock in honor of National .Commander Galbraith. Com mander Hogue announced yesterday that J. Lawrence Sprunt, Thomas W. Davis, E. Nash; J. R. Hollis and J. A Church, all prominent local legionmen, would leave the city Sunday for Raleigh to be present when the na tional commander addresses the gen eral assembly and to attend the lunch eon to be given-ln his honor. National Commander Galbraith will leave the -state capital on Monday niht for Asheville. He. wi 1 spend two days in the Mountain city, then go to Charlotte for an engagement. State Commander Hogue will, in all prob ability accompany Cuamauder Cal braitli to Asheville. FORCIBLE TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS IS TALKED City Council Hears Plan, Pases It On to Doctors The matter of forcing any one suf fering from tuberculosis to' take treatment,- recommended in an act pro posed by Dr. J. H. Hamilton, superin tendent of the public health depart ment, brought- before the city council Wednesday morning, was referred to the New Hanover County Medical so ciety for consideration, with the re quest that, any citizen interested in the matter appear before the society at its regular meeting next Wednes day. Dr. Hamilton .presented a copy of a proposed bill which would give to the health department sufficient and ample power to bring before the recorder any man. woman or child suffering from tuberculosis and, after hearing the evidence, if it should be proved that such peorson had refused to at tend some hospital or receive treat ment for the disease, that person might be ordered sent to a hospital and kept there for not less than 60 days and discharged only after the person's presence in society would not become a ' menace. That the proposed act has the sup port of local Red Cross officials and that the passage of the law would not- result in Increased expenses for the city, were statements of Dr. Ham ilton. He also asserted it would greatly assist in the war being waged against tuberculosis in New Hanover county. BIRD SEASON ENDS That the bird law died February 15 is something that has apparently es caped the notice of some hunters in the section. Leastwise, the attention of nimrods to the fact that It is now illegal to hunt partridge or quail is called by a Wilmington citizen, who is of the opinion that the tidings should be spread to prevent any one from running afoul of the game laws, to notify the New Hanover county rep resentatives of the chamber's action and request them to use their best ef forts to have the proposed bill en acted into a law. When the matter had been discussed for more than an hour, Marcus W. Jacobi moved that the chamber in dorse the proposed new bill. His mo tion was seconded by J. Allan Taylor. When-put to a vote there were only two or three of the 50 or more busi ness men present at the meeting who went on record as being against the measure. After H. E. Boney. president of the chamber, had callen the meeting to order, the proposed new banking measure was very ably set before those present by Mr. Jacobi. He explained all the phases of the new bill and de clared that it was necessary to change the law to allow the banks to charge a maximum of 8 per cent. Mr. Jacobi stated that It was absolutely neces sarythat something be done regarding this matter as at the ' present time there is only one insurance company operating in the state that will loan money because of the 6 per cent re striction. C. C. Covington declared that he was in favor of the enactment which will allow an interest rate of 8 per cent to be charged but he said he thought it should only be a temporary measure. C. E. Taylor, Jr., for the benefit of the meeting and Mr. Covington, announced that he understood that the legislative committee had only favorably report ed the bill for a two-year duration. J. A. Taylor stated that he thought the bill now pending was not only a proposition in which bankers should be interested, but one in which the merchants should have a great inter est. He reviewed the present business stagnation and declared that much of it was due to the fact that the busi ness man could not borrow money to carry on. L. W. Moore declared himself as un favorable to the bill. He said that the building and loan associations were now lending money for home building at 6 per cent and he said that if the rat should be Increased it would most certainly have a bad effect on build ing. Mr, Jacobi stated that he thought it would hive a good effect on building. He based his idea on the possibility of bringing much money here from the outsida of the state at the new rate. This money with what we now have will certainly tend , to help the builds ing situation said Mr. Jaco-bl. J. G. McCormick announced" him self as being heartily In favor of the proposition: He said' that the people in the rural districts were also In favor if it. He said that they were willing to pay almost any rate per cent, for money to get their businesses started normally once more AN OLD Fashioned INVESTMENT It is a tribute to its essential goodness that while man investors seek new styles in investments, the Certifica of Deposit still grows in friends and favor. 6 The Certificate of Deposit is an old fashioned invest ment, with everlasting qualities of safety, assured yield and non-depreciating value.
