ROOSEVELT GETS
MANILA POST
Washington.—Governor Theodore
Roosevelt of Porto Rico was promot
ed by President Hoover to America’s
highest colonial office upon the resig
nation of Dwight F. Davis as gover
nor general of the Philippine islands.
Davis presented his resignation to
the chief executive at the White
House. Secretary Hurley of the war
department, who controls affairs of
most of America’s insular possessions,
accompanied him to the White House
for a final conference before his re
tirement from office.
The announcement of Davis’ res
ignation was followed immediately by
the naming of the son of the late
president to- govern the millions of
people his father fought to free from
Spanish rule.
Davis-was sent to the Philippines
from the position of secretary of war.
Mail trucks use confiscated liquor
in the radiator as an anti-freeze. (No
wonder those trucks go gay on the
highways!)
5 0 Billion Miles
Yearly Travel On
Federal Aid Roads
Although only one-fifteenth of th<
roads are in the Federal Aid systepi;
they carry at least half of the coun
try’s rural traffic.
This statement was made by Fred
eric E. Everett, president of the Am
erican Association -of State Highway
officials, in .directing attention to tht
value of the seven per cent of the
roads in each state being improved
Jsvith Federal assistance.
"Annual travel over the Federal
Aid system reaches an incomprehen
sible figure,’’ said Mr. Everett. "Gas
oline consumption and other factors
indicate that American motorists tra
vel in excess of 100 billion miles ov
er country roads each year. On that
basis, it is estimated that almost 5 0
billion miles of travel is over the Fed
eral Aid system which means an av
erage daily traffic how of about 750
vehicles per mile.
"When we think of the annual Fed
eral contribution to road betterment
we must do so more in regard to ser
vice purchased than to the number of
dollars expended. Clearly the improve
ments made on the Federal AicTsystem
have reduced car operating cost by
almost one cent a mile, for the 197,
000-mile system by July 1 of 1931
contained 76,300 miles of high type
pavement and an additional 77,200
miles of intermediate type and low
type surfaces. Since Federal funds are
about 42 per cent on the average of
the entire road costs, Federal expen
ditures are responsible for almost one
half cent of the reduction in car op
erating costs. On- that basis, Federal
Aid returns dividends of about $250,
000,000 a year, lhat is a mighty
pleasing return on the present annual
investment of less than half that sum.
"Benefits of the Federal Aid system
are extended over the entire country
and encompass both the main inter
state and the chief secondary or in
ter-county roads. A state, if it wish
es, may use all of the Federal funds
on the main arteries and after their
completion future Federal assistance
may be entirely devoted to the roads
of secondary importance as far as
traffic is concerned.
"In comparison with the 3,000,000
miles of roads in the United States,
the Federal Aid system is small, but
since the Federal Aid roads, for the
most part, are the roads of greatest
use no effort should be spared to main
tain the present rate of progress, and
that means no diminution in the Fed
eral funds required for this job,” con
cluded Mr. Everett.
Warns Farmers Of
"Country Damage”
Raleigh.—Warning that farmers
who have cotton stored out in the
open or under sheds but on the ground
that they can easily and quickly lose
by "country damage” more than they
offset in storage and insurance sav
ings has been issued by U. Benton
Blalock, general manager of the North
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association.
"It is far better,” he said, "to de
liver promptly from the gin than to
take chances on country damage and
fire losses, but. if you are still holding
your cotton with the expectation of
delivering it later, let us by all means
urge that you examine it closely and
often and avoid damage.”
r
PAWNS WOODEN LEG FOR $16
Kansas City, Mo.—Jones Macke
pawned his wooden leg for $16 to pay
his fare back home to Cleveland. The
pawnbroker lent him a pair of crutch
es.
AVERAGE PRICE OF 1932 AUTO
TO BE AROUND 750 DOLLARS
New York.—The frills of $1,880,
000,000 in capital investment were
dazzled before the eyes of the buying
public as the automobile industry op
ened a show designed to pull at the
purse strings and make 1932 a bright
er year for highways and byways.
Presenting a vastly more refined
product, both inwardly and outward
ly, 32 makes of passenger cars, 10 of
commercial vehicles and one of taxi
cabs were shown for the first time.
Ninety-one exhibitors of accessories
and shop equipment added their 1932
fashions.
Despite improvements making for
added comfort and safety, prices in
many instances lower than last year
were offered as an inducement to in
creased orders. Members of the trade
were optimistic, expressing the belief
replacement orders would show a sub
stantial increase over last year.
Many car owners, they said, still
are driving models of 1929 or older
and have reached the point where they
must buy anew. Alfred Reeves, gen
eral manager of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, esti
mated the average price of the 1931
car was $765. This will be trimmed
somewhat, he said, due to lowered la
bor aijd material costs.
376 PAROLES IN YEAR
Raleigh.—The executive counsel
of North Carolina granted 376 pa
roles during the year 1931.
Subject Selected
For Essay Contest
Raleigh.—With the selection of
"Cotton Production in North Caro
lina—How to Make it Profitable” as
the subject, plans by the North Car
olina Cotton Growers Cooperative As
sociation for its fifth annual essay
contest are getting well under way.
For the contest the State will be
divided into four districts: Eastern,
Western, Central and Southern. Any
student not more than 21 who has
not yet completed high school can
enter the preliminaries. The winner of
the school elimination contest will
represent that school in a county
wide meet, the winner of which is
eligible to compete in the district con
test. The four winners of the four
district contests will compete for the
grand prize and the State champion
ship. Last year the final contest was
held as one of the features of Farm
ers’ week at State College before an
audience of more than 1000.
Job Hunting on Motor Vein
Legionnaires, Selectmen, Clergy, Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls
united in a drive to uncover' occasional jobs for unemployed men in East
Bridgewater, Mass. The touring van is the famous “House on Wheels”
that carried Legion men to the Detroit Convention.
HOUSE PASSES
THE DEMOCRATIC
TARIFF BILL
Washington.—The scant democrat
ic majority scored its first victory ov
er the administration forces on a ma
jor political issue Jan. 9 by forcing a
party tariff bill through the house.
It voted 214 to 182 to revamp ad
ministrative features of the Hawley
Smoot law dealing with the flexible
tariff powers of President Hoover and
went on record favoring an interna
tional conference to revise tariffs
downward. „
The bill now goes to the senate,
where passage is probable. However,
congressional administration followers
are convinced that if the measure is
sent to the White House it will be
vetoed.
Advertising Power
Did you ever stop to think that a
neswpaper as an advertising medium
possesses many outstanding advant
ages?
Newspaper advertising reaches near
ly everyone every day; almost every
one reads a newspaper. It is the only
publication immediately associated
with the life of a community.
A newspaper contains something
that everyone in the family wants to
know about. It is the greatest factor
in the country in molding public
opinion.
The ne"wspaper is the most eagerly
sought piece of literature going into
the home. It has more intimacy than
any other factor in one’s daily con
tact.
Newspaper advertising produces
immediate action; speed distinguishes
a newspaper’s birth, life and function.
Newspaper advertising tells us
where to buy; it never lets a prospect
get caught. It insures consumer’s
goodwill; long sales efforts are not
required to sell the consumer on a
product advertised in newspapers.
Newspaper advertising is timely and
permits the advertiser to tie his copy
up with current news events. It en
ables the advertiser to enter any spe
cific area and secure the amount of
coverage that he needs.
Newspaper advertising is flexible;
a campaign can bf started overnight
and can be stopped at a moment’s no
tice.
Newspaper copy can be written to
give a complete sales presentation of
the product, or it can be written with
the idea of trade name establishment.
A neswpaper is the closest point of
contact to the actual sale of mer
chandise; the only thing that will ap
proach it is a counter display or a
window display.
People of the United States pay
one million dollars a day to get their
newspaper.
The only reading done by millions
of people is confined to newspapers.—
Morris A. Penter, in the San Diego
(Calif.) Union-Tribune.
CHARLOTE GETS MEETING
Raleigh.—Charlotte has been select
ed as the. meeting place for the 1932
convention of the North Carolina Ed
ucation association to be held in March.
Over 2,000 educators will attend the
meeting.
CHICAGO CHOSEN
BY DEMOCRATS
FOR CONVENTION
Washington.—Democrats decided
to hold their presidential nominating
convention in Chicago, June 27. This
will be two weeks after the republi
cans meet in the same place.
The action was taken by the dem
ocratic national committee on one
ballot in an exceptionally harmonious
meeting. Smouldering tension between
the Franklin D. Roosevelt group and
other factions was ever present in the
background. But National Chairman
John J. Raskob, at the opening of
the meeting, did much to shut this
feeling out of the committee session
by a frank statement that he bore no
hostility toward Governor Roosevelt.
Prohibition, the bogey of every
democratic meeting in the last decade,
was elbowed silentjy out of the scene.
Chairman Raskob laid his recent pro
hibition referendum proposal before
the meeting, without reading. With
no debate it was referred to the na
tional convention for consideration.
This smooth action was an omen of
harmony and skillful management
which cheered all factions of the par
ty.
The democratic national committee
also:
1— Adopted a convention appor
tionment plan by jsvhich additional
delegates will be given to all states
gaining congressmen under the new
congressional jreapportionment plan.
No delegations were reduced. Fifty
four additional delegates will be pro
vided for, bringing the convention
total to 1,116 delegates. (North Car
olina gains two delegates).
2— Named Robert Jackson. New
Hampshire committeeman, a Roose
velt man, secretary of the commit
tee.
3— Made Jouett Shouse, who is na
tional executive chairman, chairman
of the committee on convention ar
rangements and selected the Congress
hotel, Chicago, as headquarters.
GIRLS MAY SMOKE
Greensboro. — The teachings of
grandmothers have been abandoned
and with certain well-defined regula
tions, students at North Carolina Col
lege for Women may smoke. To
smoke, girls must register their inten
tions with the house president and the
matron and may smoke only in their
own room.

MADE BY UNDERWOOD!
Think of what it means to students. Re
ports and exercises are no longer dreaded
as dull duties . . . for these exercises be
come part of a fascinating new experience
actually learning to do one’s own typing.
There’s nothing that quite appeals to
young people like learning to type ... And
) how they can make those keys click after,
a few weeks’ practice! Moreover, typing
is an accomplishment that is a very val
uable asset when a youngster gets out in
the business world.
Think of what an Underwood Portable
will mean to the adult members of your
family. How easy it is for a woman to keep
her correspondence up-to-date when she
can run letters off on an Underwood!
An Underwood is even more of an asset
to a busy man. It eases the burden of the
extra work that he brings home from the
office.
