Photograph, Canadian National Railways THAT the compulsory shower bath method used at modern swimming pools has been adapted by the Canadian National Railways for cleaning passenger locomotives? The locomotive is moved to and fro through a gate composed of strong spurting jets of water as shown in the above photograph. Locomotives are given a thorough shower bath after every run. It has been found that in addition to add:ig to their appearance, this regular washing of locomotives also add* to their life. $313,000,000 Asked Of House For Navy The house has been asked to spend $313,000,000 on the Ameri can navy next year. In the annual supply bill ap proved by the full appropriations committee, and which will be taken up tomorrow, a direct appropria tion of $308,669,000 would be permitted. In addition, $4,591, 000 would be taken from special funds of the navy and spent. The measure carries $4,5 00,000 more than President Hoover’s budget asked. The sub-committee that drafted the measure had declined to act on a budget recommendation for ad justment of wages in navy yards. That recommendation, the sub committee said, would have meant a 30 per cent pay cut in some in stances. When the matter was presented today to the full committee, it de cided to override that budget re commendation and restore $9,510, 000 to the bill so navy yard work ers would be required to take only the same pay cut as already is applied to other branches of the government—about 8 1-3 per cent. Another budget recommenda tion—for reduction of the marine corps enlistsed strength from 15, 343 to 13,600—also was rejected. The bill as presented to the house would appropriate $16,416, 000 less than is being spent on the navy this year. Farmers Await Higher Prices With a slight rise in commodity prices this year North Carolina and South Carolina "will again come into their own,” John P. Stedman, director of the Regional Agricultural Credit corporation, said in a statement. He pointed out the cost of pro duction of this year’s crop will bs at the lowest cost of any crop that has been produced in the last thre: decades. Stedman said citizens of the twc states have already begun to use the services of the agricultural corporation and it was evident the corporation was "meeting a very evident agricultural credit need.’ "Significant present conditions,’’ the director declared, "is the abili ty of our farmers to furnish col lateral to obtain these loans. "This is truly indicative of sound basic conditions. Our people own things of value, they have a great capacity to produce from the soil not only a living but commodities that sell in the markets of the world. "Two things are lacking: proper credit facilities, which the Regional Agricultural Credit corporation in its own field is supplying, and a fair value for the farm commodi ties that they sell in the open mar ket.” Stedman said applications foi loans "are pouring into our offief every day, and we are handling them as rapidly as possible.” PERSHING SETTLES DOWN AT ARMY POST - i Fort Huachuca, Ariz.—Gen John J. Pershing settled down a this border Army post for an inde finite stay. He said: "I am glad to get back to Ari zona for a rest.

S. MAIN STREET PHONE C33 \ Police Hunt Mail - Order Assassin Track Man Who Mailed Parcel Have Few Clues To Person Who Sent .Explosive Package To Roosevelt Armed with a few clues, federal agencies are tracking an unknown wculd-be assassin who directed an explosive to President-elect Roose velt Wednesday. In the hands of the secret ser vice and postal inspection service was a crudely made apparatus— dangerous if improperly handled. Addressed to "Franklin D. Roosevelt, Washington, D. C.,” it was seized in the Washington pott. office as it was loosened from a sack of mail and burst its wrap pings. It was postmarked at Wat ertown, N. Y. The trail of the sender was sought there. The explosive consisted of a shot gun shell ,with wiring shaped like a "J” over the cap. Postal authori ties estimated it had "one chance in ten” of ever exploding, and then only by being dropped in a per pendicular position. Ordinance of ficers of the navy department who usually are charged with destruc tion of such packages after other agencies have completed their in vestigation, expressed doubt that fatal injuries could have resulted i frern an explosion of the shell. Guess At Origin Of Odd Names Washington.—Spe/king of names of places and how names originate, a spokesman of the National Geo graphic Society here has pointed out that many of the unusual ad dresses mail clerks see on envelopes come about by the combination of exclamations and proper or com I mon nouns. I For example, the practice of J ferry passengers calling "he;” to "Si”, who ran the ferry, resulted i in Haysi, Va. And then there is Greasy Creek, ! Biscuit and Dimple, Ky., the or'gin of which may be guessed at if not directly traced. Added to a simi lar list is Horse Heaven, Gooseprai rie and Steptoe in Washington State, Pie Town and Gallup in New Mexico, Needles and Jelly in Cali fornia, and Frostproof in Florida. Speed, Economy and Harmonv are in Indiana; Flues, Vim and Joes in Colorado; Asbestos and Appeal in Maryland, and Deadwater and Grindstone in Maine. Some of the names, it is stated, may have originated in the d;ys of the "Western bad men.” For example, Tombstone in Arizona, Razor and Gunsight in Texas, Fos sil in Oregon, and Scraper in Okla homa. Climate and temperament also seem to play a part in naming towns in sections of the United States. For example there is a Tranquility in New Jersey, Twi light in South Dakota, What Cheer . I and Promise City in Iowa, Dewy rose in Georgia, Wynot in Nebras ka, Prosperity in Arkansas, and Faith in South Dakota. LEGATION ON WATER ■ WAGON , Washington.—The indications are that attaches of the Rumanian , legation will drink more water i than usual during the next several weeks. A consisgnment of 15 ' cases - of choice Rumanian liquors reached Baltimore last week for the legation. The butler who went for them found that most of the cases contained either empty bottles or bottles that had been re filled with water. Lady Took Cardui And Got Rid of Pain In Her Side “Last summer, my health was had, so I began taking Cardui,” writes Mrs. H. E. Slaughter, of Norman, Okla. “My mother had given me Cardui in girlhood, so naturally I turned to it when I felt I needed it. I felt run-down and a general weakness. I had bad; dizzy head aches when everything would seem, to dance before my eyes. My right side pained me so much, but since taking Cardui the pain has left me. I have taken several bottles of Cardui and have improved a great deal." » 5 Cardui is sold at drug stores here.

Just A Husband Not Understood Paris.—Married life with Maur ice Chevalier, which millions of women would regard Utopia, has been anything but that to Yvonne Vallee, his pretty little wife it was brought out here when their shat tered romance, once considered a model stage union, finally reached the divorce court. Threw Her Out, She Says Miss Vallee charged, in fact that the great French sex appeal man of the films threw her out of his house in Hollywood and refused to talk to her when she called him by telephone. And this, despite the fact that, as dancing partners, they had come up the ladder of fame to gether. But Maurice, whose name has been linked repeatedly with those of Marlene Dietrich and Jeanette McDonald, told a different story. Accordin'* to his attorneys, Miss Vallee made his life unbearable with her "extreme and unfounded jeal ousy,’’ and constantly made public scenes. "Misunderstood Husband” Chevalier’s chief counsel said that the famous heart-breaker, like another male, was just a "misun derstood husband," who didn’t de serve such'suspicions. Neither party has been willing to assume responsibility for the rift, so each is seeking a divorce on the grounds of incompatibility. The court hearing was perfunctory and brief, lasting only five minutes, for there is nothing to be decided ex cept which one is to be granted the decree. Gossips have joined Chevalier’s name in reports with a number of movie stars, but Miss Dietrich and Miss McDonald have been the fav orites. Recently, Miss McDonald, who is on the Riviera, not far from Chevalier’s villa at Cannes, an nounced her engagement to Robert Ritchie, her manager. A few weeks ago Chevalier was reported very attentive in New York to Vivian Porter, blonde showgril in "Varieties,” to whom he was said to have presented a diamond bracelet. "What silly question is he ask ing now?” "Oh, he wants to know if you can get a barking cough eating hot dogs.” MARY PICKFORD DISLIKES PANTS, EVEN ON MEN! New Ycrk.---Pants, to Mary Pickford, are "ugly.” She sailed on the liner Rex to attend the winter sport,' at St. Mcrtiz and later roin her husband, Douglas Fairbanks, .in f,<enoa. She said: "I don’t care much for pants on men, much less on women. I’d like to see men go back to the 1830’s when they wore ruffles and more colors.” GERMANS RETIRE OLD NAVY VESSELS Wilhelmshaven, Germany.— Germany’s naval program for 193 > starts with replacement of four 3 0-year battleships with new 10, 000-ton "vestpocket” battle crui sers.

Contracts for the Braunschwe'g substitute were signed last Octo ber and the replacement for the dlsass will be laid down next year, all this was part of the 1931-1936 building scheme.. COWBOY LASSOES WINDOW HOOK; SEIZED AS BURGLAR New York.—Alvin Webb, cow boy and roper who gives his home as Ballinger, Texas, was caught as he diverted his skill with a lariat into illegal channels. With another man, who escaped, police said Webb stole into the back yard of the home of Tarry Bader.

Court Rules Cities Liable For Gas Tax Reversing a lower court deci sion in a Winston-Salem test case, the North Carolina supreme court said municipal corporations must pay the six cents per gallon state tax on gasoline they use for city purposes. The gasoline tax case came be fore the high court on appeal of the state treasurer. Judge W. A. Devin, hearing the treasurer’s suit to collect the tax from the city of Winston-Salem, ruled the 1931 law listing municipalities as liable to payment of the gasoline tax was unconstitutional.. Associate Justice Brogden, writ ing the supreme court’s decision, held the gasoline levy was ■an ex cise tax and not a property tax, and municipalities were not im mune to it especially since the leg j islature specifically included them jin its 1931 gasoline tax law.
