' i i ? WashbKtun.?('apt Herbert Hurtley. the new .-.kipper of the Leviathan, is a typical son of the sea. lie has 4pent most of his life on ships, has seen and served on the old sailing beauties and reruetubers the skcptldfttn that greeted nlw fancied wireUna Mens. H* Ik the sort of & Mllorman who truly pities the "people lu the cities" a wild, stormy nig tits. Ocean weather to him is divided into two categories : It Is either "a bit fresh" or cairn as the pa Ira of your hand." He wmi to have heard or read of hurricanes or gales, but in his tongue *iey are no more than "little squalls" r "Idckups." His assoc ites on the American line?he has been with that company ver since he begnn his nautical career? =ay he Is lucky ; not because Its landed the prize post In the American merchant marine but because In II his career he has never had an accident to his ship or sny ship on which he has sailed. It i? partly because of Ms reputation that he has <5 vaneed through all grades In the ^Lraeri<-:<n Line to the bridge of the largest ship In the. American fleet. Hunch Falls Him. His worst half hour on the high see 3 was wb*?n during the World war a giant German submarine came to the surface within gun range of his hip, the Louisville, and opened fire. "It was just after day break." he aid. "and we were about two days' all from France when a lookout Sighted this sinister black body about mile away and slightly astern of us. "This object broke one of my real i.nnn..<.,. T 1 ? ? feeling on starting the trip that we weren't going to hare any trouble, cad usually those hunches work out tor me. Hardly hod the sailor given the tlarni when a column of spray raised by a shell almost showered our port feow. I had four (dx-luch guns, two In #10 how and two In the stern, and I made up my mind right there that the only ones to he used were the stern inns, because I inteii led to go away from there as fast as I could. The Louisville could outsteain any eabmi'.rine that 1 know of. but whether she could get out of range before she was mortally hit was the question moat vital to all of us just then. 1 gave every full speed signal that k could help us and turned tall in the direction that would take us away frem the menace, which wliiatled its second shot Just about where our how would have been if we hadn't changed ur course. "It took us more th'rt,?-fivv minutes to go? our of range During that time the submarine's other shots, which were plentiful, did not come as Close as her first iwo. Ours.

Hie Louisville. under Oe.ptnin Hartley's command, was the ttrd armed ship to leave an American port after President Wilson decided that American vessels should carry their own protection. As the old St. Louis she had served with honor In the SpanishAmerican war. and, while Captain Hartley doesn't say so. it l& evident Chat the Leviathan wll! hsve a difficult time replacing her in his affections. Captain Hartley wears the Xavy cross for efficient command of his ship during the war. and It is the only honor which he does not soem to take Mghtly. The cross, he says. Is his moat treasured possession and he wouldn't trade it for the Levlathun or any other craft afloat. He is forty-eight years old and U the first cadet of the American line to rise to the position of commander. He r took the place of Capt. John C. Jamison as commander of the St Louis In 191T when that skipper was taken 111 an board, and he brought the ship In and docked her ho skillfully that his Job as a skipper In his own right was secure. His most recent command has been the big liner Mongolia wi ui* American line. He began bis career twenty-eight years ago aa a cadet on the training hip Saratoga with Rear Admiral W. S.

YOUNO PEOPLE AN L> A1>ULT TOPIC ?Samuel, the True Prophet. Samuel means "asked of God." G<mJ gave him Id answer to his mother** prayer. She promised to give him back to God. Iii Ills early childhood, hU mother cared for and taught hlra. There is no teacher or nurse like tha mother of the child. At an early age, she handed him over to the care of Ell to minister unto the Lord in the taber nacle. While ministering unto the Lord in the tabernacle, God called him. He responded to this call and spent s long life in useful service to God and his nation as judge and prophet. Our lesson today is hi* farewell address. After Saul was made king, he retired and turned over the authority to the newly-chosen ruler. I. Samuel's Challenge to the People, (w. lsi). 1. Reminder of the Way the King Had Re??n Given, (v. 1). He showed that they were directly responsible for the change in government. Though keenly feeling the reflection upon himself and their ingratitude to God In Their demand for a king, he has not resisted their wish. He reminded them that they now had what they 'wanted. 2. Review of His Own .Vlinlnistra non, t*v. ;*>. (1) Walt from child hood (v. 2) Samuel's was a remarkable life; from childhood to old age lie had lived an upright and pure life. How satisfying It must he to come to the ev.d of life and to look back even to childhood days without regrets. (2) Career kk Judge ami ruler (v. 3). He boldly challenged them to show where and how he had even In the smallest matters defrauded or oppressed anyoue. He courted *?he most searching lnvestlgatlor his life. *even calling j upon ihe Lord Himself to betr wit-1 DOSS. 3. The Vote of Confidence by tha j People, (vv. 4. 5). It was Samuel's j right as he laid down the reins of gov- j eminent to have his record vindicated! and to have his integrity established beyond a doifbt so that no evil-minded | man could ever he able to oust re- | proach upon hlin. II. Samuci Reviews God's Dealings; from the Time of Moaaa. fvv. 6-15). He reasoned with them concerning the good hand of the Lord upon them from the time of Moses. Though they with iagrauiude turned from the Lord and demanded a king like tlie other nations, he had acceded to their request and set a king over them. 1. National Prosperity Conditioned! by Obedience, (v. 14). Though *hey' had displeased God in choosing a Icing, If they would fear the L#ord and render j obedience, national prosperity would] siii! be given. The nation which will not walk in God'a way cannot expect I God's blessing. 2. Disobedience to God Meant the j Nation's Ruin ( . 15). It la folly to j ask God's blessing upon a nation while: It is living in rebellion against Him. j True statesmanship is to find out God's j will conc erning the nation and so dl-1 reel it that in all its laws and customs' there may be harmony with that will. III. Samuel's Own Vindication, (vr. 16-1 ft). This was such a critical hour in Uv? history of the nation that Samuel sought to indelibly Impress thi- mo ment on their hearts. This he did by | means of the thunder and rain on| i of season. Harvest time was not thr season for thunder and rain so when! It came at the call of Samuel, thi people were frightened. The sign had lt? designed effect. The people con ' teased their siu of asking for r. kinj and besought Samuel te pray for them IV. Samuel's Gracious Response, (re 20-25). 1. "Fear Not?Serve the Dord WIttj All Your Heart." (vv. 20-22). Samuei I did not minimise their aln but assure*} j them If they would serve the Lory \ wholeheartedly. He would not forsaki I them. 2. "God Forbid That I Should SlI Against tha Lord In Ceasing to Praj for Ton." (r. 28). Though tha people had rejected Samuel, yet he had sue! ' magnanimity of soul that he had no allowed their Ingratitude to keep hln | from Interceding for them. Such fall nre on hie part he regarded as sin. Paganism.

Upharn, State high-' vay engineer of North Carolina, de-. dared in Kaleigh in an rviev.' J mtiining the plans followed in the*, j State's $65,000,000 program of high I way construction. Mr. I phani wasj unable to attend the session of the v nited States Good Roads Associa-; tion and the Bankhead National Highway Association at Greenville. S. C. "The solution of providing a means for traffic of the construction of a j hwrKwaH c??c+n?? In - * ' 1 ' ?.? .-j .jwiii ?i? onjf oiaic, sain the engineer, "necessarily depends ! upon the local conditions in that State, and consequently the method of solution will be different in the i different States, and depend on the economic, industrial and social conditions existing. "Practically every State in the Union has its cities and counties of high and extensive development, as well as its sparsely developed sections. To build immediately a system of hard surface roads throughout in entire State, when the demand for siuh ronds is only within the highly developed sections, would be money wantonly wasted. "Within the highly developed sections no doubt the construction of a hard surface pavement is the correct j .-.r.d only answer. In th? urban and ! laying districts, where the traffic less intense, a lighter and Ie.-s ex-| pensive road may adequately serve in needs of traffic. This less expenroad should be located, graded! ?i drained upon the same standard; .-stoniary with hard surface construction. so that when the country i through which the road passes devci- > | ops to the extent that traffic requires .1 heavy duty road, there will only be .he necessity of adding the hard surra.v in order to adequately provide fo: the heavy traffic which at some I future time makes demands on this I '? ; inniiwav. hi sections farther from developed ? centers, graded roads, with proper i drainage structures, constructed on : "sird surface standards, will take care i of rural traffic. he said, adding that I as demands increased the highway t could be gradually raised in type. i "North Carolina has three distinct ? geographical divisions," he contin- i tied. "The mountain section is made j up of farming and mining industries., < with numerous resorts so located as < to ink" advantage of the wonderful scenery; the Piedmont section, or i foothils, with its; farms and other in 0 dustries highly developed, and the! n t'nl coastal plain, with its excellent J farms and industries claiming great * ttenrion for their transportation c needs. ^ "These three great geographical di 5 visions are divided into one hundred [j counties, and many more centers of (j population. It is the work of the State jj highway commission to connect these e centers with a highway system, or a c means of transportation which will [j adequately provide for the class of v traffic which now exists and is ex- n peeled in the near future." ? The progressive type construction jj plan is followed, he asserted, which c ultimately will mean a Complete sys- jj tern of paved highways, development 0 proceeding as traffic demands in- [1 crease. "North Carolina has constructed * many progressive type roads," Mr. c L'pham stated. "It already has com- \ pie ted its cycle by placing hard sur- D inecs on roads which were previously 0 graded and stabilized with selected g soil material, although at present it g has a reasonable mileage of graded c roads in the newly developed locali- j; ties. It is maintaining as subgradc ^ highways a large mileage of selected 0 soi! roads and thus affording a means jl of traffic to a great portion of the ?

(By the Associate Press)?The average use of clectr city ?m i- capita in Chicago has jinni ed from approximately ?? kilowai hou in 1 890, to 693 blow a* t hour in I >22, accordia gto statistical da just completed by the Common wealth Edison company, which fur nishes Chicago with its electricity. The report states that the con necting lighting and power load a the t nil of 1922 was 1.553,890 kilo watts, or the equivalent of 31,077, 813 incandescent lamps of 50 watt each This compares with a con nected load of the equivalent o 21,500 lamps in 1889. The number of customers increas ed 73,321 during 1922, making . total of 010,303. The company' announcement state that ''this in crone alnnp o???ol number of families and Industrie using: electricity in the state of Ai kar.sas, or sufficient to provide supply to a city of about 330,00 population, such as Indianapolis o Kansas City." To generate electricity demands by customers, the company used 2, 410,131 tons of coal in 1922 Through efficient use of coal, th amount used last year was 120,00 tons less than that used in 1921 '1 hi announcement adds: "Th company holds the distinction o nt having raised its rates, this b< ing true even during the difficui war oeriod when there was an in ' r in prices of all conimodilu ex electricity. \ indicating what has occurred " . to the customers light bill in ' a dollar would pur hasa out 3,000 candie hours of ligv* fn l:.1 it would buy 18,000 candh Between 1905 and 1922 laoi] efhci- ncy increased 210 per cent; tip rat. decreased 56 per cent, and th. tot; increase for a dollar was GGper cent. many miles of which was hard sur fac added to progressive road type demonstrates the complete and satis fat ry manner in which the progres ssive type roads are caring for th< traffic in North Carolina and showi that i his method is no longer in th? experimental stage, hilt that thi: means of constructing highways i: economically and practically sounc urn! is highly recommended where thi geographical, industrial and economic conditions are as found in Nortl Carolina."
