About 40 men gathered In the assembly room of the Selwyn Hotel and heard the proposed plan of organisation read by the chairman of the organization committee, Mr. r,. W. Thompson. After agreeing that tha me heme was suitable for the pur pose tn mind, It was supgested that a tentative aubscrlotlon list be made and IS men or representatives of leading business firms in the city Identified themselves with the as sociation. It is intended to get. at least 100 subscribers to the stock this number being the minimum for starting the organisation. THE PLAN OF ORGANIZATION, The proposed plan of organisation provides that the Charlotte Traffic Bureau shall be an incorporatea organisation with a total authorized capital stock of 190,000, to he 'divided Into 30 shares, valued at JO earn. It Is also stipulated that this payment of 130 for shares shall only h? con strued as an Initiation fee, to which shall be added such assetwment of the members as the executive committee of board of directors shall consider fair and Just. The following Is one of the most Important of the clauHca In the proposed charter: "That no dividends shall bo pay able upon the shares of stock of this corporation, but the earnings of the corporation shall be devoted to the furtherance or the objects and pur pose herein set forth. That the board of directors or trie executive committee shall have the rlRht to assess the members or stockholders of the corporation such annual amount as they may deem best for the Interests of the corporation, and for the purpose of making such as sessments the board of directors or the executive committee may classify the members or stockholders Into dif ferent classes In proportion to the freight shipped or received by each nwmbcr or stockholder or upon such other basis of classification as the board of dlrectora or the executive committee may decide upon. The stock held by each member or stock holder shall be subject to a lien in favor of the corporation to secure the payment of assessments, and such lien snail be enforced m tne same way as Is provided by law for unpaid subscriptions of capital stock." PURPOSE OF ORGANIZATION. The purpose of the organization is stated In the following clause: "The objects for which this corpo ration Is formed are to promote and Improve the business and trade con ditions tn the several lines of busi ness represented by the corporators or members or stockholders of this corporation; to advocate and work for improved traffic ana Business con ditions; to secure Just and equitable freight rates and classifications; to encourage and promote mutual inter course and association among the stockholders or members for the pur pose, of discussion and Information respecting the business conditions of the country, and particularly with reference to the business Interests represented by the stockholders or members; and to do all such things and exercise all such powers as may aid or further any of the said objects.' Considerable Interest Is being shown In this project by the busi ness cltltens In the city and it is altogether likely that the-entire 100 needed members will be secured this wek. - It Is gnerally conceded that such an organisation will vastly pro mote the commercial Interests of the city and that the money expended In Its behalf will prove a profitable In vestment. The committee which drew up tha plan of organization with the as sistance of Mr. T. C. Guthrie was con- tinned for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions. It Is composed of Messrs. E. W. Thompson, T. J. Davis, A. Lockwood, J. H. Weddlnglon. E. C. Dwelle, L. C. Burwell and J. W. Conway.

Many housekeepers dread dish washing, but If they would go about tbe task in a neat, sys tematic way, it would not be half go disagree able. Tbe requisite are a convenient sink of the right height, table room for soiled and clean dishes, an abundance of towels and hot water, and a second disbpan of warm water for rinsing t be dishes. Prepare tbe dishes for washing by scraping them as clean as possible and rinse tbe ones that are most soiled under tbe hot or cold water faucets before putting them In tbe dlshpan. Dissolve a teaspoon ful of Gold Dust washing powder In the first water and after tbe d tabes bare been washed clean, rinse tn clear water and dry, A knowledge of tbe composition ot foods is useful In dish wash ing. For example gelatine, white of tbe egg, etc. should bo removed from dishes with cold water, while greasy foods require bot water. o Special Notices Only Two Weeks Until Easter Easter comes bo late everybody will want their Hats at once.
