W that the days of September
I ' her e at hand we begin to think
I School and the children listen
If . t | ;e bell which will call, them in
I . year's work. They have spent
I !£ summer months in lazy out- j
of-door living and we have been I
interested in watching them grow, I
I rHV it is time to see that they are
physically and mentally ready for
I school duties.
I: has been conclusively demon- !
I -rated that in otherwise normal
children there is a definite rela-
I tion between physical and mental j
I development. In 1919 a thousand j
I cen . vea r-old school children in!
I Washington D. C., were studied by j
I tre American Child Health Associa- |
I . The conclusion was that poor \
I nutrition definitely handicapped !
I p ro gress in school. By means of |
I rhe proper care of diet at home and j
I her school lunches or properly pre- ;
I pared cold lunches we can do i
I much to correct undernourishment i
backward mental development. J
’ It has been found that about one
fct.rt/. of the children in.the United
States are inadequately nourished j
and the total number of perfectly
nourished children is surprisingly I
.-.n
jlLt-li.
Why are children improperly
ft!' Why do they have too little '
s!trWhy are bad teeth and ton-j
sils neglected ? Parents, we be
iicrc. are largely to blame. An in
teiiirent and well-trained mother
can d a great deal to correct such ;
tr 'tides. Many mothers are striv- i
ir.g n w to put before their children J
a well balanced diet—to keep tea !
and coffee from the young children,
an: to see that they get their full
amount of sleep from ten to 12 ;
hours each night.
A schedule should be outlined
' that the growing child has a
definite hour each day for doing a
eitain thing. If we start and train
• cn. in these habits as six-year
w e they will not easily depart
RWm the schedule.

Richard Lambert Dies
In An Auto Wreck
Driver Os Bus Which Collided With
Sedan In Durham Held In
SI,OOO Bond
! Durham, Sept 9—J B. Reeves is out !
j under bond of SI,OOO on a charge
of manslaughter as the result of
the death early this morning of
Richard E. Lambert of this city, .
who succumbed to injuries received
when the big bus driven by Reeves, ,
collided with the sedan in which j
Lambert and two grils were riding
on the outskirts of the city Thurs
; day has been set for the preliminary
; hearing.
; The accident occurred when the
car driven by Miss Maxine Wilker- j
son, and occupied in addition to her
self by Lambert and Miss Grace
| Cox, skidded across the road into
the path of the on-coming bus, fol
lowing an attempt to bring the
j wheels which had been driven off
j the pavement onto the mud back |
upon the asphalt. The bus was not
brought to a stop until after it had
! traveled, according to police, a con
i siderable distance from the place
where' the collision occurred. The '
| sedan was bent into the shape of !
j the letter U but the bus was not j
damaged except for a bent frame
and a smashed fender. Both girls
i were injured and physicians are
fearful that Miss Ccx will not sur
vive. ”S. Uckerman was the only
passenger of the bus which travels
between Durham and Chapel Hill,
to be injured and he expected to be j
discharged from the hospital within
a short time.

COPPER OLDEST METAL
Copper might fitly be called the
first of the metals, for it was the
i first to be adapted by man to his
ordinary uses. Probably the men
of the bronze age found the metal
in its native state, as it occasionally ,
occurs; perhaps some cave man
built a fire over copper ore expos
ed on the surface, and unwittingly
built the first smelter. However
it might have been discovered, pri
mitive man after long centuries
was using copper to replace his
i crude stone and bone implements.
Then again, by accident perhaps,
1 the alloy of copper with tin or zinc,,
which makes brass and bronze, was
discovered, and this was the great
metal of antiquity.
Mining and reduction of metals
is as safe and sound a business as
selling flour or running a bank.
Mining develops every other indus
try—farming, railroads, merchan
dising; it is the great builder for
any nation.
Some of the capital that is go
ing into ~ speculative adventures
might well go into metal mining
in the west. .

PRISON RECEIVES
WOMAN BANKER
Begin Vfeerving a 3-5 Year
Sentence For Making.
False Entries
.-A.
Raleigh, Sept. 14—Miss Lena
Woodward, 30, former assistant
cashier of the defunct Bank of
Princeton, was brought to State’s
Prison yesterday to begin serving
a three to five year sentence for
making false entries that led to the
failure of the bank and loss to de
positors of about $38,000. Miss
Woodard is the first woman banker
ever to be committed to the North
Carolina penitentiary.
The prisoner arrived by automo
bile three hours after sentence had
been pronounced in Johnston
county Superior court by Judge
Henry A. Grady. She was charged
with embezzlement, accepting de
posits after she knew the institu
tion was insolvent, and making
false entries. Through her attor
neys, Abell and Shepherd, the de
fendant offered a plea of nol con
tendere to the false entry charge,
and Solicitor Clawson Williams*
who has assisted in the prosecution
by I. M. Bailey, State Banking de
partment Attorney, and Ed F.
Ward, nol prosed the other two
charges.
Miss Woodward’s father, George
Woodward, formerly of Princeton,
but, now of Wake county, who was
the cashier of the wrecked institu
tion, was indicted on the same
charges as his daughter, but ten
dered a plea of guilty to violating
the misdemeanor banking statute.
He contended that he knew nothing
of what was going on until the
crash was upon the bank. Judge
Grady let him go with a suspended
sentence upon payment of the
costs.
The bank was closed on February
3, 1925, by W. L. Williams, State
Bank Examiner, who returned yes
terday as a witness in the case. It
was capitalized at 870,000, and to
date depositors have recovered 40
cents on the dollar.
Miss Woodward kept her silence
about the affairs, refused to explain
: or to elaborate on allegations that
she had removed the money for i
the use of an unidentified man, en-
I ' ;
gaged in playing the cotton market
and came out a heavy loser in his
, speculative orgy with the bank’s |
money.
Although Miss Woodward is the i
first banker to be sentenced to i
j prison in North Carolina, prison j
I rosters contain the names of sev-1
I
! oral men bankers, some of S.tate
-1 wide prominence.
ESCAPED MONKEY
LOCATED IN CHATHAM
(Chapel Hill Weekly.)
Out on farm a few miles to the
I south of Chapel Hill, near Fearring
i ton’s, in Chatham county, resides
a monkey. Temporarily his master
j is Boy Goodwin, whose mother and
j sister take care of him while Mr.
I Goodwin is away on his travels as
■ a salesman.
This is the pet that Dr. B. D.
Bullock, university alumnus, lost
three or four weeks ago on the way
back here from a camping expedi
tion to the Haw River. Jocko es
caped while the automobile was
, halted at Pearson’ store, at the Or
ange-Chatham line, and for several
hours was lost in the woods. A boy
named Williams captured him and
turned him over to Bob Godwin.
Bud Perry, the barber, who was
with Dr. Bullock on the camping
trip and is the physician’s friend
and turusted agent, sought blit did
not accomplish the surrender of the
monkey. His credentials he says,
were not convincing to the present
possessor.
Dr. Bullock, who is stationed in
the Navy Hospital in Charleston,
S. C., has had his attention so dis
tracted by other affairs recently
that he has not taken any positive
step to recover his pet. But he ex
pects to equip Mr. Perry an
other friend, Deputy Sheriff Las
siter, of Chatham county, With pro
per evidence of < that
they may dbtaih the modley and
| ship him to Charleston.
Naval. Sec. Declares I
Cannot Search For ,
, Any More Flyers ;
Tran.-Ocean and Long Distance!
Flights Should Be Under Sup
ervision of Agency.
Charlotte, Sept. 10—Government
al regulation of trans-oceanic or
other long distance flying was de
clared essential tonight by Curtis
D. Wilbur, secretary of the navy, j
if human life is to be safeguarded j
and any constructive stimulus giv
en to the science of aviation.
Secretary Wilbur, en route to
Washington after an inspection of i
the Pacific fleet was a visitor at the
home of Stuart Cramer, Cramer- j
ton textile manufacturer and for- j
mer classmate at Annapolis. He
plans to leave Monday for the cap
ital.
General unpreparedness and in
adequate equipment' for hazardous
flights, which place human life in j
jeopardy can, if successful, con
tribute little or nothing to aerial
science, were referred to by Secre
tary Wilbur as cause enough to
warrant governmental supervision
of details of such adventurous en-1
terprises.
One procedure, he suggested,
would be for a properly constituted
j board to refuse both governmental ’
1 sanction and passports to any
I person deemed, after examination,
i unqualified to undertake an ocean- i
ic flight.
“The navy cannot continue,” he ]
said, “searching for victims of j
'stunt’ flights which culminate in
distress at sea,’ adding that inas
much as public money was involved
in such searches, it was but natur
al and proper that governmental
j regulation should be applied to the
1 matter the same as in other activ- j
-i ities. a—
FIND MANGLED BODY
OF A. C. L. SWITCHMAN
Rocky Mount, Sept., 14.—Funeral
services were conducted yesterday 1
for J. L. Darden, Atlantic Coast
Lpie dtchman, whose mangled |
j body vrls found beneath an engine
j at; the .'fSouth Rocky Mount yards!
late Saturday night.
! Services were conducted by Rev.
i D. E. Hill at the Arlington street
Baptist church yesterday morning
at 9 o’clock with a large throng cf
friends and acquaintances of the!
| dead man in attendance. After the
i remains were taken to Mr. Darden’s '
! old home near Mt. Olive, where fi
| nal rites and interment followed. i
" j
| Mr. Daden went on duty at the
local yards at 11 o’clock Saturday
night and fifteen minutes later his
body was found entangled in the
wheels of one of the monster en
gines which had been brought out ’
to take a through passenger train
out of the terminal.
Just how the switchman} was
killed is problematical. It is
thought however, that he was
struck by the engine while crossing
the tracks in the yard. No one was
aware of the accident until the lo
comotive had been placed and his
body discovered beneath the wheels.
Mr. Darden, who lived at 1015
South Church Street, was 33 years
of age and is survived by his widow
and two children. His untimely
death also came as a great blow
I to his wide circle of friends, par
ticularly in railroad circles.
Roofer Seriously Hurt When He
Falls From Top of Tall Building
Fayetteville, Sept 10—Ed Sutton,
a roofer, fell from the top of a
three-story building here this after
noon and tonight was in a hospital
with what physicians said was a
fair chance to recover.
Sutton’s escape from death was
considered miraculous. Only the
fact that he landed feet foremost
amid a pile of building material
was held as the reason he was not
dashed to death.
Sutton is married and has one
child. He came here from Dunn.
Just about the time some of us
got into the six-cylinder automo
bile gfoup our friends took up golf
1 and again left us with nothing to
talk about.
BALLOONIST in
AIR2SHOURS
Two Pilots Tiiok! Off Along
With 14 Other Balloons
Saturday.
Dunn, Sept. 12 — Refreshed by a
long night’s rest at Dunn’s newest
hotel—The Cotton Dale Maurice
Biename and A. Veenstra, in charge
of the French balloon, Paris-Brux
elles, which landed near here late
Sunday afternoon, boarded a train
this morning and headed toward
Detroit.
Biename is the World’s champion
balloonist, having traveled 1,334
miles in one of the James Gordon
Esnnett International races. In the
current race, he was entered under
the French flag.
The balloonists were in the air
; for nearly 25 hrs before Pilot Bien
a:ne decided to descend three miles
south of Dunn. They took off
along with fourteen other balloons
late Saturday from the Ford Air
port, Dearborn, Mich., in the annual
James Gordon Bennett Internation
al Balloon Race.
Hundreds of people saw the bal
j ioon .as it wended its way over Er
win and thence to Dunn where it
j landed. |
Two Erwin youths Henry C.
Bost and Earl Barbour —were the
first to reach the balloonists as they
floundered about in a cane patch
I near Dunn. The young men helped
pull the big gas bag to a place neai
the Dunn-Fayetteville highway.
Pilot Biename rewarded the
youths by giving one the big pen
nant on the balloon and the other
a French flag sewed onto the bal
ioon.
After answering innumerable
questions about their flight from
! Dearborn, Michigan, to Harnett 1
! county, North Carolina, Pilot Bien
-1 ame and his aide were put to bed !
at the Cotton Dale Hotel,
j Biename was ra\|tenously hungry
! and ate heartily of the choice foods j
! set before him by the chef of the :
Cotton Dale. Veenstra declared i
i * j
that he was “too tired tq eat” and
hustled off to bed.
The balloonists slept for more
• than twelve consecutive heurs be
fore they awoke this morning and
took off for Detroit by train over j
the Atlantic Coast Line. Both were
hungry this morning and ate
heartily.
In all, the Paris-Bruxelles was j
1 in the air 24 hours and 52 minutes
' and had covered several hundred
miles before it landed near what
1 its residents like to call “Dunn, the ,
Livest Town under the Sun.” The
distance from here to D£ti*oit is es- ,
timated at 1100 miles.
The two balloonists were too j
tired last night to give a full ac- j
count of their hazardous trip over j
Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and
most of North Carolina, but did
declare that they had experienced
rough weather practically all the j
way. At one time Saturday night j
they said they had to ascend to a
height of 15,000 feet to get above
a storm.
i Practically All Os Mill Workers
Back On Job In Henderson
Henderson, Sept. 10—With the
exception of a few holdouts and
others who have moved away from
Henderson, the 800 striking opera
tives at the Harriett cotton mills
here were reported practically one
hundred per cent back on their jobs
today. A number of additional
workers returned during the day
and officials announced their ap- j
pearance made the regular working
force practically intact.
Sheriff Kearney last night had a
force of special deputies on duty 1
in the mill village again and today
reported everything quiet. The extra
guard will probably continue for
several additional nights, he said,
and the situation is expected to be
normal by the first of next week.

{WOMAN KILLED
IN WRECK
Liquor and Women Is Tte
Cause of Walter Grady's*
Downfall
Rocky Mount, Sept. 13 —A hear
ing at Halifax tomorrow morning
will endeavor to lift the veil of
1 mystery surrounding the death of
Mrs. A. T. Taylor, Wilson woman,
whose body was found beside a
wrecked car near Halifax early tßii
morning and to determine the part
which Walter Grady, local man,
companion of the woman on a
drinking party throughout the
night, who was found, in what of
ficers termed a drunken stupor, on
the porch of a farm house near the
; wreck, played in the woman’s death.
Mrs. Taylor, Grady, L. R. Sapp,
i employed by the contracting firm
which is completing the work of the
new school house here, and Conway
Felton, of this city, according to de
tails given to police here this morn
ing, left the city early last night
for Wilson. They were driving
Sapp’s car, and headed directly for
Wilson. However, they lost their
way and arrived instead in Pine
tops. They stopped along the road
to Pinetops, it was pointed-out and
Grady, being held now by Halifax
authorities, bought whiskey from
a car. All members of the party
took drinks of the liquor, evi
dence showed.
I
| Additional whiskey was bought in
Wilson, the party arrived
there, and both Grady and the
woman are said to have taken sev
eral other drinks. Grady got out,
leaving Sapp and Felton and the
woman in-the car. Sapp provided
her with money for a room, he
said, but she refused to get out,
saying that she wanted to see
Grady. Felton left the party, and
! after Grady returned, Sapp left
them near the station and went
home, investigation showed.
! This morning Sapp found that
his car was gone and reported to
the police that the car had been
stolen. It is believed that . after
! Sapp left the party, Grady took
Sapp’s car and the woman nearly to
Halifax thinking he was taking her
to Wilson.
i* # .
Sapp denies having made any ar
rangements with Grady to take the
car to Wilson. He said that Grady
and the woman were both drunk
when he left them on the streets
and that Grady could not have been
) in condition to drive a car.
! Both Sapp and Felton, who were
: questioned by police here today, ad
imit having taken drinks, but both
claim that they were not drunk.
They said that Grady procured
whiskey in Wilson and that he ; and
the woman took several drinks
while they were returning from
Wilson to Rocky Mount.
The body of Mrs. Taylor was
found on the highway this morning
and taken to Halifax. Grady was
placed in jail to await the hearing
scheduled for 10 o’clock tomorrow
morning at Halifax courthouse.
The car had turned completely
over, it was said by Halifax offi
cers and the woman is believed to
have been instantly killed. There
were no marks on her body to show
the exact cause of her death, al
though officers think that she suf
fered internal injuries. It has not
been decided whether an autopsy
will be held over the body.
When Grady was found he was
asleep on the porch of a nearby
farm house, and apparently did
not realize the exte;nt of the acci
dent.
The car was considerably dam
aged. The top was torn off, the
; windshield shattered, but it was
able to run under its own power,
i It is being held in storage now at
i Halifax.
: Sapp and Felton have been or
• dered to appear tomorrow morning
[ at Halifax at 10 o’clock for the pre
■ liminary hearing.
Now is the time to cull out those
“boarder” hens and keep only the
I best layers for winter eggs and
