To ^Neip'-hoads - The r^jilroads of .the country will Isfiorfy petition the Interstate Commerce commission to continue the "emergency” 10 per cent in crgase- i»r. freight rates authorized bffe the: ebhunission last year, ac cording to ’information reaching here this week.'* * Thga roads decided to take this step at annual session of the Asso ciation of Railway Executives held in New York. when the commission allowed the selective 10 per cent raise in freight rates it was a compromise in the carriers’, application for a blanket advance of 15 per cent. The commission stipulated that the increased tariffs be considered in the nature of surcharges to be pooled for the benefit of roads which were finding it difficult to cover their fixed charges. This led to the formation of the Railroad Credit corporation with powers to function in behalf of railroad credit until March 3f, 1933. After that date unless oth erwise provided, the credit corpor tion will become a liquidating entity to clear up indebtedness al ready made. Court Balks At Creating Love New York.—Judicial inability to create parental affection was ad mitted by Supreme Court Justice Joseph M. Callahan after hearing arguments over the custody of the 8-year-old daughter of George T. Brokaw, the haberdashery million aire.,, and his first wife, Clara Booth Brokaw. Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel for the mother who writes under the name of Anne Clara Brokaw, contended that the court had to make a decision. Under a previous agreement the little girl was to divide her time between the par ents and she balked on the last shift. Hays argued that the remar, rieef father’s 'attempt to get his child back by force was not going to - improve her lagging affectons. Brokaw’s1 counsel insisted upon the custody agreement being carried out and Justice Callahan took tne case under advisement. •subscribe to The Watchman CANERAGBAPHS 1 Reading Time : 3 minute», 10 teconds "FATTY’' RETURNS: Roacoe “Fatty" Arbuckle, famous comedian of the silent films returns to the screen and shows his old time prowess as a comic in "Hey, Pop!” Here he is rewarding Billy Hayes with an extra large helping S of Jell-O for the fine acting this young j star displayed in the same picture.

New Chevrolet Cars Are Coming Soon ’■ • ■ . ... , - y That a radically new line of Chevrolet passenger cars will be introduced next month was made known officially here this ‘Week by C. F. Raney, general manager of Raney-Giine Motor Company, this city. The new series will be the fifth annual Chevrolet model to employ a six cylinder engine, the first vol ume Chevrolet six having been an nounced in November, 1928. Since that time, building sixes exclusive ly, the company manufactured nearly 3,000,000 units. A longer wheelbase, extensive changes in body design, and a "price which takes, account of to day’s incomes” are promised in the 193 3 car. The extended wheelbase coupled with many improvements in the body, in performance, econ omy, power, safety and other fac tors, indicate a model much im proved over the present fine, and set at rest rumors current in trade circles that the new Chevrolet would be a "stripped” model de signed to meet the bare needs of transportation. From an economic standpoint, the Chevrolet announcement has national significance in that the company leads ali other manufac turers in the largest industry in the world. This is one of the ma jor contributions made by any A merican company this year to na tional betterment in trends of em ployment and materials consump tion. Near'y 50,000 of the new 1933 series, valued in excess of $20,000, 000, will be required for dealers’ mnouncement purposes alone, and the manufacture of at least that number is assured within the next few weeks. FINDS RHEUMATISM OLD AS EGYPTAINS Indianapolis.—Despite evidence that the ancient Egyptains were af flicted with chronic arthritis, or rheumatism, medical science still is seeking the exact cause of the mal ady, Dr. Edwin W. Rynerson, of Northwestern University, told the international assembly of the In terstate Post-Graduate Medical As sociation here. "Until we are sure what causes it,” he said, "the best treatment is a vaccine made from germs that we discover in the joints afflicted.” Dr. Joseph F. McCarthy, of Col umbia University, told the assem bly that new operative work on prostatic ailments is of vital im portance because it affects twenty five per cent of all male adults. Until recently, he said, it had been the practice to defer operations on elderly men until the point of in tolerance was reached, but new methods make it- possible to take the patients earlier. $811,5 03 FOR ORPHANAGE Thirty orphanages in North Carolina ,have received^ $530,477 and 15 in South Carolina $281,026 from the Duke endowment fund in the last four years, a total of $81 1,5 03, reported Dr. W. S. Rankin, director of hospital and orphanage work for the en *v ment. Ideal Hi-School Girl Doris Heynm, 17, has been named the ideal high school girl of greater Chicago. The scoring included course, marks, activities and achieve ment YOUR STATE FLAG North Carolina was one of the Original Thirteen Colonies. The model of the flag as used today was adopted in 188 5. It consists of a blue union containing in the cen ter thereof a white star with the letter N in gilt on the right of the star. The fly of the flag con sists of two equally proportional bars, the upper bar red and the lower bar white. The length of these bars is equal to the perpen dicular length of the union, and the total length of the flag is one third more than its width. Above the star in the center of the union is a gilt scroll in semi circular form, Containing in black the inscription: "May 20, 1775,” and below the star is a similar scroll containing the inscription: "April 12, 1776.” This first date was placed on the flag to mark the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The second date marks the day on which the Flalifax Convention em powered the North Carolina mem bers in the Continental Congress to concur with the delegates of the other colonies in declaring inde When the National Declaration of Independence was declared on July 4, 1776, North Carolina was represented in the Continental Congress by three men, William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, and John Penn, and as such these men had the honor of signing the national document. ADVICE TO MOTHERS: DON’T LET BABY CRY Milwaukee.—The State Medical Society is trying to reduce baby crying in Wisconsin. 'Bad tempers and sullen behavior cost many people their places in the world of affairs and their es teem in society despite all their brjfliande and learning.” says a bulletin issued by the society. "Mothers should correct two habits of children—crying in order to get their own way and sulking until requests are granted.” VALUE OF BIRD MEASURED BY EGG The biggest income from' poul try in North Carolina is through the sale of eggs and about the only way to measure the value of either males or hens as breeders is the record made by their descend ants in producing- eggs. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State Col lege, says the average flock owner cannot undertake the time and ex pense necessary to measure this performance and so he suggests that highly bred birds or hatching eggs be secured from time to time from professional breeders. "The work of accumulating this information about the laying qual ities of hens, starts with using only pedigreed males mated in sin gle- pens with trap-nested females arid in turn trapnesting this fe male progeny,” says Mr. Dear styne. "ThiS' system is rather ex pensive but it is the only sound method of determining the true worth of the breeders and in the long run, it pays an extrenvly high dividend.” CUTS SMOKING, DRINKING COST Ottawa, Ont.—Cheaper cigar ettes and liquors will result from a bill passed by the House of Com mons. It cut the excise tax on Cana dian cigaretts from $6 to $4 a thousand and the excise tax on Canadian liquors from $9 to $7 a proof gallon. E. B. Ryckman, Minister of Na tional Revenue, estimated that the national treasury would lose be tween $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 a year if consumption remained stationary. "NORMAL” BANK FAILURES Bank suspensions in October, for the country as a whole, were on a more favorable basis than at any time since the wave cf failures started three years ago. Instead of the big increase usually shown in every October, the number for this month was only about the same as for September. The change for the better is shown most strikingly by the figures, 67 failures for October, 1932, against 522 for the same month last year. The number this month was only normal. Total failures for this year will probably amount to about 13 00, making a total of approximately 5000 for the three years of the de pression. This is a ghastly record, i t ~ r it * 1_ - CVC11 UlUUgll S> pci C-C11C V/JL an bank and a larger percentage of all the deposits came through safely. Even in the good years before the depression the average number of bank failures each year was be tween 600 and 700. This indicates need for greater care in granting charters and closer supervision of operations. This will probably receive con - sideration by the next Congress.
