Fears of the general pub lic will likely be aroused and it i§ entirely possible there will be considerable slacken ing in passenger traffic. The accidents are indeed unfortunate and to be deplored. Every effort should be made to determine the cause. Apparently, despite claims for radio beacons and similar aidfc to pilots, in the interest of safety when a pilot finds he is running into weather in which he cannot see the ground he had bet ter land. Usually he knows this before he hits fog, either because he sees the fog ahead or because of weather reports from ground stations. We suspect that in many instances the pilots are expected to go ahead rather than to land because of possible delay to passen gers. It would be much the best policy, however, for passengers to be late than to be killed. Regardless of the accidents, air traffic will go on. It has not been many years when railroad wrecks, in which many were killed and injured, were expected. Pioneering is always costly in lives and money. But pio neering goes on. THREE DANGEROUS SPOTS Wrack on the Cleveland Springs bridge when truck# collided Monday afternoon brings to mind hazards on either side of Shel by on highway No. 74. To the west there is the bad intersection just east of the bridge across Broad river. To the east there are two bad bridges. The first bridge, known as the long one, be tween Shelby and Cleveland Springs, is one on which many cars skid. Surface of the floor of this bridge, for some reason, is not smooth. Too, the bridge is not as wide as are most of them on state highway systems. The short bridge, near the old Cleve land Springs hotel, has been the scene of a number o# wrecks. This is also a narrow bridge and It is placed at a bad angle, the eurve swinging directly into the bridge. Realization of danger on these bridges is such among those using the road frequently that many residents of the Cleveland Springs sec tion say they never pass cal’s on either of these bridges, whenever it is possible to avoid it. They slow down and let oncoming cars get across before they go on. This condi tion, however, is not known to the general motoring public. What steps should or can be taken is a matter of question but we think ahe state highway department might well make a thorough investigation of the situation. NEW FIELD FOR MOTORISTS It. has at. kat been done! The trip be the two Amerioae has been made by automobile. It took three Brazilians, of the calibre of real explorers, eight years to make the trip from Rio de Janeiro to a point in Texas* a distance of some six thousand miles. I Th The inaugural parade of January 30 will be chief ly military and It will be reviewed by the President from a stand designed as a replica of the portico of The Hermitage. Tennessee residence of Andrew Jack son. Well, old Hickory was traditionally a tough baby, and surely the army can take it. Doubtless, it is Just as well that the next parade is to be composed largely of hard boys, because the chances are that it will not be a soft asignment. Even on March 4 the weather in Washington is likely to be miserable. Now that the inauguration has been moved up into midwinter, and into the latter part of January, al ways the worst part of winter, he chances of having eight inches of slush under foot are excellent. It parad ing in Washington on January 30 is likely to be rough on the army, it would be downright ruinous to brass bands of civilians led by girl drum majors in white satin pants.. More than that, if Washington weather-works really begin to grind in a serious way. merely standing, or sitting, to look at the parade may wreck the civil ian population. The chances seems to be good that this display Will finish the inaugural pageantry. It may be the parade to end parades.

Washington ^Daybook By PRESTON GROVER (Assoolated Pres* Stall Writer! WASHINGTON Two of the out standing failures of the first ad ministration of President Roosevelt were his inability to obtain ratifica tion of the world court protocol and the St. Lawrence treaty. He came office committed to both, put them both before senate, saw them debated with some prospect of pas sage. and s a them finally fail. Now that has a majority in the senate even MISTON L more preponderant than before, with his prestige heightened by tre mendous victory it is not surprising to hear talk that he may try again to put them through. But this can be ventured—he will count senate noses far more closely than last time before he takes the step. Swayed By Home Polks Party lines seem not to govern either of these affairs. Senators who would like to vote with the president out of party loyalty are forced to heed voices from back home times even stronger. Such voices have brought defeat to both treaties. For ratification of treaties, a two thirds vote of the senate is required. The St. Lawrence treaty in 1934 re ceived 46 votes for its to 42 against, but that was hot two-thirds. The world court in 1935 came even clos er, 52 to 36, yet also falling short of two-thirds. If there has been any change in local sentiment on the St. Lawrence waterway and power treaty it has not been sensed by congress mem bers interested in it. Part of upstate New York wanted the cheap power it offered. New York City ak a sea port opposed it, fearful of opening a channel to sea-going vessels up the St. Lawrence into the great lakes. Both New York senators fought it. Certain Mississippi river states, especially Illinois, assailed the treaty while other lakes states were for it. Illinois senators charged (hat the treaty signed away control over Lake Michigan. Illinois long has contend ed for a greater outflow from Lake Michigan for two purposes, to car ry Chicago sewerage into the Mis sissippi and to provide better nav igation between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi. Thera was the split. Treaty sup porters objected to draining Lake Michigan water into the Mississippi. Instead they wanted the water to oontinue, as now, to run out into the St. Lawrence where it could develop power for Canada, New York and New England and perhaps provide a new power “yardstick." Uncertain What’s Coming Ac to the world court, noses were counted many times in 1935 before! it came to a vote, and even Minor ity Leader McNary conceded the senate would vote for adherence. But it was defeated. Since then many developments in i Europe have tempered congression-; al enthusiasm about court or league i alliances with Europe, even with such reservations as were contained in the court proposal.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.—(A1)— The American Federation of Labor has decided to let its rebellious “bad boy”—John L. Lewis—go his way in j peace for the present, in hope that ' he .soon will return a prodigal son. Adoption of this policy is the lat est development in the labor move ment’s greatest internal feud since the A. F. of L. split off from the Knights of Labor 50 years ago. Industrial Unions Lewis, burly president of * the United Mine Workers, for many years has contended that the work ers in the great, mass production industries stWh'~as automobiles and ■steel could be" organized only by bringing them into industrial un ions. Green For Craft* The federation, controlled by craft union leaders who learned then labor policies at the feet of the late Samuel Oompers, insists organiza tion by craft Is better. A machinist, the craft union lead ers say, h’as mote in common with another machinist than he has with a boilermaker, no matter where he works. This machinist, they add, can gain more by associating with other machinists in collective bargaining than by associating with all other workers in his industry—as Lewis proposes. Calling this craft organization policy antiquated in view of huge combinations of capital by industry, Lewis set out more than a year ago to organize the mass production workers on an industrial basis, re gardless of A. F. of L. rules. He was joined in his committee : lor industrial organization by two wealthy and powerful "garment un I ions—the Amalgamated Clothing 1 Workers and the International Ladies Garment Workers—and sev eral smaller organizations. After vainly trying to get Lewis to give up his drive, the federation's executive council last September suspended his miners and nine other affiliated unions for "insurrection. ’ At the same time, the council di rected George Harrison, president of the railway clerks, to try to ar range a peace conference with the j rebels. Lewis hotly replied he was un I willing to talk peace before the ten rebel unions were reinstated. This the council refused to do. deciding to allow Lewis to go ahead with his | organization drives. It was confid ent they would fail. The first opportunity for a change in this policy will come at the council's February meeting. Some labor men look for new peace man euvers if the council finds Lewis succeeding. This divided labor movement, however, promises to have repercus | sions on both Industrial and legis | lative fronts throughout the winter. In the capitol. even those legis lators eager to please labor may ' have to scratch their heads at times ' when confronted with divergent. A F. of L. and lewis requests.^ session, but are fax from certain what the president has in mind with regard to the St. LawTence.

Uf OmUnrm Sudani* Mate* Hand Infection* Statistics show that hand injuries are very common among industrial workers, but that permanent disab ility is more likely to result from infection of the wound than from th« injury. Trivial’ wounds—those produced by a thorn, splinter or needle—are more hazardous than broad or deep open tears of the tissues. The wide open wounds bleed freely and thus tend to cleanse themselves. The penetrating wounds made by small and sharp objects are likely to bleed but little and disease germs that gain entrance are not washed out and remain in a medium ex cellent for growth. If the fingers or hand are injur ed, this is the best procedure: Stop all work for the rest of the day. If this is entirely impossible, keep the involved arm motionless in a sling. Encourage bleeding. Bleeding will wash disease germs from the depth of the wound as nothing else can do. If little bleed ing occurs, or if it stops too soon, encourage further bleeding by hold ing the part under a stream of very hot water. Bandage the arm above the wound to impede circulation in the veins. Allow or encourage- the bleeding to continue at least two minutes. Cleanse the wound. If the hand was clean at the time of injury, wash it thoroughly with soap and i water. If it was dirty, do not wash > it (for dirt is then likely to enter (the w'ound). but put the hand in • a bath of tincture of iodine. Hold the edges of the wound apart so the iodine will have free access. Superficial dabbing with an iodine swab is futile. Apply a sterile i|-essin| and be sure the bandage is not tight enough to interfere with blood cir culation. Hang the arm in a sling made of a large kerchief or square I cloth and suspended from the neck ] with the forearm held at a right | angle to the body. | Rest in bed 12 hours. Next mom J ing if there is pain, swelling or i tenderness in the injured part, a I physician should be called. ! TALK TO | PARENTS The Awkward Tears By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH ' Boys frequently do a large part of their growing after they are 14, That a boy is small or even defi nitely undersized well on into his teens need not be a cause fdr undue worry. He may shoot up at the rate of two or three inches a year and end well above average height. His strength also increases per ceptibly during these years. Often the increase in strength and height are not proportionate, and it is this physical unbalance and the result ing lack of co-ordination which makes the adolescent boy so awk ward. It is really not his fault that he runs into the furniture, trips over the rugs, cracks his mother’s rib with a bear hug or inadvertent ly crushes the frail cup that he is drying. He does not mean to be careless. ■ He is probably straining every | nerve and muscle not to do any of these clumsy things. He knows that every one of these mishaps will be greeted either with roars of laughter or with annoy ance or reproof. He is in a con stant state of embarrassment which confuses him and leads him from bad to worse. He used to know, where his hands and feet were, and just how much muscular effort was! needed to make them do as he wished. Now his hands and feet have suddenly become so remote that all his calculations are wrong, and his slightest gesture has a force ! which is forever causing catacysms. The less attention paid to a boy at this transition stage the better. It is a period when he needs under standing. He is bound to wreak a certain amount of havoc wherever he goes, but fault-finding and laughter only make him worse. He is quite uncomfortable enough with out having attentlcgi attracted to him. and the fullness of time will be his only cure.

The conference, called by Ben s Kilgore, executive secretary 0f the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation, adopted yesterday a plan for Co operative action by states to con trol tobacco production. Kilgore predicted Kentucky WOuld be the first state to enact the plan which follows generally a tobacco compact act adopted in Virginia early this year. State Senator Rain], Gilbert, of Shelbyville, Ky, said he i would introduce the bill tn th# Kentucky, legislature, probably to 1 morrow. The committee expressed belief North Carolina, Tennessee. South Carolina. Georgia and Ohio would , follow with favorable action on pa rallel measures. Authorized by the last congress, the proposed state legislation pro vides for creation of state tobacco commissions to cooperate In fixing 1 state Quotas. Each state commission would regulate individual alty ments through county and district committees. Two-thirds of the state could call a reefrendum. A growers, or the governor of any separate inter-state compact would be negotiated for each type of to bacco. Nullification of a compact by any one state would make It Inop erative in all states. The compacts must be concluded by next May l if they are to be effective on the 1937 tobacco crop. 3 Diphtheria deaths IN GUILFORD COUNTY GREENSBORO, Dec. 31— Health Officer R. M.
