W. C.. a« aecond ola»» matter GRAHAM, N. C., Aug. 5, 19% SALARIES. fi Elsewhere in this issue will be found some timely remarks made . by the State Auditor iu sending his report to the Governor. What he says in regard to the inadequacy of salaries of State officials is just as pertinent ns to cpunty or any other officials who | have received no advance in pay | since the war begun. That the cost of living has more than doubled needs not to be argued. It is known of alt. The pay for every form of employment has been increased to meet the conditions. sow, what about tho pay of county officials whose salaries are fixed by legislative enactment? i Tnose of Alamance are tho same fixed by the first salary law passed some Jen years ago,-r-then lower tbhn they should have been. Some provision has been made tor clerk hire, but that is 110 relief to the official so far as living expenses are concerned. Alamance county's officials are very much underpaid for their services, and if the people of Ala mance desire to have efficient and capable men to fill the county offices and trausact the bustness •hey will hive to p»y them more. ANTI TYPHOID WORK Since 1914 Cases of Typhoid Fever Reduced 50 Percent—Several Sharp Outbreaks Reported —Vaccination Campaign in Alamance. There havo been reported to the Bureau of Epidemiology of the State Board of Health since July 16th several sharp outbreaks of typhoid, fever. From Grauville and Columbus counties there are reported two instances of three cases of typhoid fever in the same family. From Catawba and Columbus count ies there are reported two instances of five cases in a family, and, as , if to cap the climax of this series, from Wilson county there ha* been reported an instance of six eases of typhoid fover in one family. £ Typho'd fever is still contagioutf, » still infectious and still one of our moat deadly enomies among the " communicable discuses. Though greatly reduced throughout tho State aa a whole, Buch instancea fut these just cited servo to show that it will spread from person to f person until whole families wMH contract the disease, unless rigid and adequate precautions are ob , aurved. And, iu spite of the best «r treatment, typhoid fever is claiuiiug A death fiom every eight to leu cases. The receut State-wide efforts toward improvement of sanita tion, particularly in respect to' sanitary privies aud vaccinal ion j against typhoid fever, liavu groHt-- ly reduced the amount of the dis earn-. The deaths last year were 1 about 50 per cent what they werwl • in 1914, but still there is room for improvement. Alamance and y Gaston counties have juat com pleted distinctly suocessfill vac-; ciuatiou campaigns. Franklin aud Meckleuburg count lea have juat begun similar efforts toward stamping out this infection. John ston, Dupliu, Anson aud Kuther y ford counties will begin campaigns in the uext few days. Through i these treat mentacitizeiis are given h efficient protection for years to ! come. The State Board of Health ' recommends that eveiy citizen ! take advantage of the opportunity preaeuted to avoid typhoid f*v>r. Such outbreaks as these in whwh whole families are sick at one* cau and must be prevented. I CASTOR IA For Infants and Children liHlm For Over 30 Ymt* BIRDS MUST BE PROTECTED Without tho Native Songrtcra Succeao ful Fight Could_ Not Bo Waged Againat" Inaoota. One of the most valuable a.=sot« our nation has is its native birds. Too much cannot be naid or written in their favor. Destroy them and in a few years the injurious injects multiplied to such an ex tent that trees will be denuded ol their foliage, plants and crops can not be produced. There ere more than 1,200 species of our native birds, ayd millions of individuals. As a result of the ex-, amination of more than 50,000 stomachs of birds, they established beyond a reasonable-doubt that birds are of economic value, first in eat ing harmful insects, their eggs and larvae. Second, in eating the saeds of noxious weeds. Third, in devour ing field mice and other small ro dents that injure the crops, and fourth,, in acting as scavengars. While the economic value of birds sh»uld be kept in mind the esthetic value should also be considered. Man does not live by bread alone. We should protect them for their grace ful forms, their charming beauty, their delightful melody and their joyous activity.—Thrift Magazine. ODD "CURES" FOR SICKNESS Bad of Old Cinder* Relieved Effica cious In Greece—Prepoeteroue Remedy for the Colic. When a Greek baby is Rick and all other remedies fail, aibed of cold cinders is very generally used as a last resort. The cradle is filled with old ashes and the infant is buried in them. The American nurses have never been able to discover what the benefit to be derived from thiu curi ous custom waf supposed to be. The cure for colic is even mors curious. When the baby lias a se vere colic the ponds in the tnvirom of the house -are diligently searched by members of the family and all the frogß are captured. These are placed alive on the child's alidoman. It is a very tiresome treatment, as some one must-sit and keep the frogs from hopping off the patient. No thought is given to the tenor these jumping frogs may have for the child. Among the gypsies that? wander over the Balkans the work of the Red Cross nurses is more difficult It will take years of preparation and education to enable than merely to begin to understand the ides of child welfare. FORTIFICATIONS OF METZ. An article by Coy. E. M. Blake, C. A., in the Journal of the United States Artillery, .speaking of the modem Metz fortifications, says that the turrets containing the Krtfpp guns can be manned and supplied without ever exposing a man, as all batteries are connected with other works tf the "Feote" by deep subter ranean galleries. Miles of these gal- ' lories have bepn cut, with a cross section and grade to allftw men to, circulate rapidly when needed, and i one finds complete kitchen, bakeries,' bathing and toilet rooms for the garrison, large recreation rooms, electric lighting and power, and a complete system of forced draft ven tilation. . CURRENCY INFLATION. The paper currency of 30 princi pal countries of the world at the be ginning of the war aggregated a lit tle over #7,000,000,000. At the end of the war, November, 1918, it was $40,000,000,000/ and in December, 1919, it totaled *51,000,000,000,1 these figures being in round terms and exclusive of the currency issues of th* bolshevik government, which alone are estimated at $34,000,000,- 000. * i ITS RESULT. j Th*re tii one fcrt which give I color to the &*ytrUt'vm scheme of ' the gortfDiwiiL" "What was tbutr *lt f»*e the red* the Unas."

The court custom of the time demanded that one going to an audience with the king must wear a wig of the proper fashion. A count, who hafl Franklin in- tow, sent a wigmaker the day before to take Franklin's measure and fit him out.fo* the au dience. The wigmaker arrived at Franklin's lodgings, measured the poll of the great American fore and aft and round and about, and took his departure. An hour before the audience the wigmaker returned with the wig. But »when Franklin attempted to put iron it would not fit; he Wouldn't begin to get it on liia head. "Sft," said Franklin To the wigmaker,-"your wig is unfortunate ly too small for my head." "Pardonnez moi, monsieur," re plied the wigmaker, "your head is vastly too large and quite beyond the fashion of the court." Frahklin appeared, therefore, at court with his bald pate an\ shaggy gray hair. » IT§ EFFECT a new play to be pr« duced to* be called 'The Hammer.'" "That ought to make a stunning hit." DETERMINING BTAR COLOR. A new means of determining star 'colors, devised by Dr. E. S. King, is described in the Journal of the British Astronomical association. Over the telescopic -objective is placed a piece of plate glass (com mercial glass is good enougn for the purpose), whieh is coated with a gelatin film, one-half of which is stained yellow and the other half bine. The images of the stars are then photographed out of focus on isochromatic plates. Each image, therefore, appears as a disk, one por tion of which shows the effect of the blue light, and the other the effect of the yellow light. The two halves of the image are then compared by means of a photographic wedge or by some similar means. ARTIFICIAL *UEL. From coal slack and dust, lignite, heat and a binder of pitch, says an article in Popular Mechanics Maga zine, an excellent house or indus trial fuel will be manufactured. The ingredients are pressed into blocks of any site, and of a layered or lami nated structure that heightens the resemblance to natural coal. As the stuff is made from materials regard ed hitherto as practically valueless, the market price will be less than that of the cheapest coal. WOMEN VOTER®. Massachusetts has the greatest preponderance of woman "voters," with 58,264 more women than men. North Carolina is next with a wom an majority of 15,288, and South Carolina, with 10,307, is third. In Bhode Island women of voting age outnumber men by 3.196, and in Maryland by 1,292. BARCA3TIC. "So the baseball season is on again." * . "Yes, and the husbands who couldn't possibly get home to dinner before seven o'clock, will be quitting their offices at thr-e 'every after noon." PLYING FATALITIES. Of'the 74 flying fatalities in the United States air service during .1919, 83 per cent are attributed to the fnuit or carelessness of the pilot a* the. primary cause, and 8 per oant SAFETY IN SETTING LADDERB Only a Little Thought Necessary to Determine Just What la the , Proper Angle. v " When raising a ladder to sweep off a cornice, to hang a picture, or for apy other purpo«2, one should know at juft what angle to place it that it may be safest to him who has to stand upon it. ,» A series of experiments described in Safaty News has demonstrated that the greatest degree of safety p obtained by placing the ladder about one-quarter its length from the wall. This gives an angle of 75 degrees. If the ladder be placed further froin the wall it is likely to slip, and the weight of the workman may put too great a strain upon it. If,it be placed close to the wall there is the possibility of the weight of the work man overbalancing it and making it fall backward; besides, as he neare the top, his feet are likely to have insufficient rOom when projecting between the, rungs. Safety News points out also that all ladders should hav>e their feet shod with points or rubber in order that they 'may take a sure grip on the floor and not slip. THAT "COUNTRY-CURED" HAM Showing Just What lm&ginatkn Will Do if It Is Allowed Too Free a Rein. They were city folk, but they had gone .to the country to spend the woek-end and get "fed up." Early Sunday morning the farmer heard the,city wife say to her husband: "John, how can you lay in bed; can't you smell that delicious ham "they arc cooking,downstairs?" , • At the breakfast she said: "This is the most delicious ham I ever wanted to taste, so rich in flavor, and nothing like what we get in the city.* Would you mind selling me three slices for my / sister? She is just crazy about country-cured ham." The farmer turned to his wife and asked: "Do you think we can spare her three slices?" "Yes, I think we have enough to run us till Saturday," she replied. Monday morning in a kitchentte the woman who liked the delicious ham exclaimed: "Country cured I Yes, country cured on the banks of White river. Here's the brand of an Indianapolis packer on the ham." —lndianapolis News. REALISM IN OPERA. It is doubtful whether "I PagHao ci" could be other than a master* piece, considering the circumstances in which it was written, says the Cleveland IHain Dealer. As a boy, Leoncavallo (whose death was re corded some time ago) was present at- a suburban theater in Naples, when he tew a thrilling love drama enacted in real life on the stage, while as in the opera, the audience applauded wildly what they thought to be intense realism. Leoncaval lo's father's valet was the rival lover, aud was in the theater at the time. The actor'sent for him and stabbed him behind the scenes. There was a further personal link in the drama. Leoncavallo's father was a judge, and it fell to his task to try the ac tor-murderer and to sentence him to 20 gears' imprisonment. MOUNTAIN TRADITIONS. "Rip Van Winkle," said fhe teacher who keeps the claw interest ed by telling stories, "went into the mountains, took a driifk with soma strange people and slept for 20 years." "I don't doubt it," commented the tall, slim scholar. "There's no tellin' what some o' this moonshine licker will do to a man-", TOUGH YEAR ON 'CM, "It seems like a mad world. 1 * "It is.
