tin ago that he would be employed.
H ' arrived here yesterday for a con
tf nee with the heads of the associa-
tl i and as a result of this conference
tl, contract was entered into.
'- he lumber and timber business of
the section is probably the most ex
tensive of any industry of western
North Carolina, the volume of the
business running into the millions an
nunlly, and those interested in the
industry believe that the securing of a
rate expert will mean the saving or
! mart hundreds of dollars each year
;' for the members of the association,

i of the industry throughout tho
on and was organized here U
,tngs held last summer. Offices

rvi uie aasuciauuii auu wiiere mem
I are dlscrepencies he will file and' col
lect claims from the . carriers. This
f auditing has been done heretofore In
! various cities, each concern being
forci-d to considerable expense on this
: account. Mr. Beaman will also have a
i comprehensive library of references at
1 his Headquarters, which will include
tre ht traffics on all railway and
iship lines and decisions of com
ons and courts bearing on freight
cs. Any information desired by

shed by Mr. -Beaman.
A ft Beaman is a well known freight

experience in this work. He began
his career with the Southern Railway
company. He Was later employed by

went to Washington city, where he hag
since operated such a b'ureau. He is
known to the lumbermen of this sec
tion on account of his work in collect
ing, data for the lights of the associa
tion before the Interstate Commerce
commission, and similar data for the
fght at Raleigh for lower intrastate
rates. The lumbermen believe that
hla services will prove invaluable to
the association.
The new traffic manager will re
movo his family here from Washing
ton nt once, preparatory to taking
up his work In the section.
RESULTS OF SOCIAL
Trucks and Wagon Went to
Center Street When Fire
Was on Circle St.
Mistaking a telephone message re
ceived at the fire department last
night, the men made a run to Center
street,ih North Asheville, when tho
lire was on Circle street in east end.
It was stated at the department that
someone telephoned In that a house
was burning and It was understood by
the fireman taking the message that
it was on Center street Both of the
big motor trucks and the hook and
ladder wagon were taken to Center
street and the men returned thinking
that it was a false alarm, only to find
that the patrol wagon drawing the
light hood and ladder wagon had gone
to Circle street, where the houso was
burning.
Tom Elrod, colored, rushed to the
station soon after the big motors had
left and said that his house was burn
ing and that he had teleghoned for
the firemen. It was realized then that
a mistake had been bade by the man
receiving the message. Very little
damage was done to the house and the
blaze was extinguished by the chemi
cals. ' .

A "Did you ever notice," asked the "ex
perienced restaurateur, "that wlienoiif
uian is giving a dinner to another tlir
waiter upon opening a bottle of wine
generally pours a little into the glair
of the host aud then' proceeds to Oil
the other man's glass to the top? If
you asked the waiter why he did that
he probably would he unable to tell
you. but as a tnntter of fact It la a aur
t vlvnl of feudal days, when life was
- held somewhat more lightly than to
day. It la Intended to give the host
an opportunity t tubing the first taste
of the wine In order to assure Ms
guest that It la not poisoned." New
York Tribune.
. Big Crop. :
in the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following ac
count of the Interesting work being
done by the Girls' Canning clubs of
the southern states, working ' under
the auspices of the United States de
partment of agriculture:
"There is a lesson in the interesting
work of the Girls' Canning clubs of
the southern states, working under
the auspices of the United States de
partment of agriculture.
"About 25,000 girls have been en
rolled In these clubs, each cultivating
a tenth of an acre of vegetables and
canning the product. Tomatoes con
stitute the staple ' crop, but ' beans,
corn and other fruits and vegetables
were handled by some of the girls.
"Bessie Starkey, a Virginia girl, ob
tained 6928 pounds of tomatoes from
her tenth of an acre and made the
best record. Many of the girls have
made records of more than $100 in
profit from these little patches.
"Here is a hint for those women
and girls who want pin money or
seek to add to the family income.
Here is a powerful suggestion lo
country schools. An acre of land ad
jacent to the school house will fur
nish room for 10 glris, on which to
make money and demonstrate the
principles of both domestic economy
and agriculture and there is no rea
son why the boys should not com
pete.
"Fifteen girls will visit Washing,
ton to; receive the congratulations of
the officials of the U. S. D. A. about
the time this Is published. They will
have fine trips and plenty of fun. It
will be a great thing for them ut
prize-winners from thelr-w several
states, i But the important thing about
the matter is that each of the 25.000
will be entiled to the credit of hav
ing taught the world a lesson. That
lesson is one of self-help, and the
Intensive and profitable use of our
common heritage the land,"
Washington, Jan, 6. That the social-center
Idea has come to stay Is
indicated in a" report Just complied by
Clarence Arthur Perry of the Tttissel
Rage foundation. New York city. Mr.
Perry shows that In places where the
movement has already started the
rate of growth ,1s much higher than
the rate at which it spreads in now
localities. In other words the actual
results of the social center or j mure
effective in getting public support than
the words of Its most enthusiastic
champions.
The work is getting on a more solid
basis. Seventy-one cities had, during
the winter of. 1912-13, paid workers
for some form of social-center activity.
as opposed to 44 the previous season,
and the amount expended In the main
tenance 'of school centers has grown
from $139,535 in 1912 to $324,575 In
the past year. There are 1927 paid
workers reported. This, with the vol
unteer workers, brings the number of
persons engaged in social-center direc
tion considerably above the 3000
mark. :..
That the general social and recrea
tional possibilities of the "wlder-use-of-the-school-plant"
movement are
making a constantly greater appeal
may be seen from the fact that in 981
schoolhouses there were public enter
tainments and lectures; in 496 school
buildings there were open meetings of
adults to discuss local problems; ath
letics or folk dancing in 474 schools;
and social dancing in 190.
A notable development of "wider
use" in 1912-13 was for election ana
other civic purposes. Balloting during
elections took place in 629 school
houses; 259 buildings were used for
registering voters; and political rallies
to the number of 481 took place in
school edifices.
Mr. Perry reports great difficulty!
n obtaining exact statistics of social-1
center activities. Little uniformity of
agreemen exists as to what constitutes
a social center. Even the name Itself
is not constant the Institution Is vari
ously reported as "recreation center,"
"civic center," "social and recreation
center," "evening center, community
center," etc. Some cities have social
center activities going on six nights
a week; while others open their school
buildings once or twice a month.
We should, however, look , beyond
the mere figures In Judging social
centers, says Mr. Perry. "Centers of
Individual growth and refinement, of
clvism and social integration that Is
what these places are, and no sys
tem of numerals can ever be dfevlseil
that will . convey an' adequate notion
of the vltalilng influences which radi
ate from them."

galleries are in Pris, Cario, and New
York, has returned with a collection
of objects of art that are almost as
old as civilization itself. They are now
on exhibition in the Kelegian galle:-y,
709 Fifth avenue.
One of the most interesting objects
is a portalt of a queen of the Ptolom
alc period, dating about 100 B. C,
found in a tomb at Memphis by exca
vators working under Mr. Flanders
Petree, tho English Egyptologist. Jt
Is quite different from the older hgyp
tion paintings and is done in the
Greek manner, with enauctic or wax,
applied with warm water, a method
Invented by Polygnotus. The won;,
which is on a panel, looks almost as
fresh now as when It was painted. In
style it is not altogether unlike some
! of the modern work.
B.' C. The monarch is bearded and
his brow is crowned with laurel. Mr.
Kelekian also brought a beautifully
modeled black basalt figure of Isis,
dating about 600 B. C, and a large
blue pottery scarab, having the lus
ter of turquoise. This dates about
1,500 I!. C. '
