said the first women to be seated
in the British house of commons,
to. turn to practical politics what
the world row needs most in a
practical way was work and trade
was the most practical way to
tart work. "Establish confi
dence," she urged, ' first confidence
between capital and labor and then
confidence in your own govern,
meni ard then confidence in other
nation."
There, she continue-!, was where
the press came in. "It is for the
press to unite countries in trade,
prosperity and peace?. ... I know
mrny American foreign corres
pondents. . '. . . Th?y nre mostly
able men and a credit of the Amer

That is, tho op:nion forced by peo

BALDY
Only a Dog,
(By Gene Cohn.)
Berkeley, Cal., April 25. Baldy
of Nome has crossed trail's end,
but he has left behind a sermon for
men to read and heed; he has left
an epic of dogdom.
In the Northland code of Baldy
and his clan were written large
these traits: stalwart courage, un
swerving purpose, eternal faithful
ness and pride of clan.
His code knew no defeat but
death, and so the most famous of
Alaskan sled dogs is finally beaten.
They have buried him under a
rose bush in the yard of his sled
driver, "Scotty" Allen. Over the
little mound of freshly turned earth
they have hung Baldg's service
flag with its 26 stars; a star for
each of the shaggy sons he sent to
the great war.
Only a dog yet the news that
he has gone on his last mush has
traveled from the white silence of
the Arctic, that once was his home,
to the Swiss Alps, where tho sur
vivors of his line live on pension of
the French government
Baldy's Exploits.
Only a dog yet, when his driver
fell in Alaskan snows during a race
he had the heart and brains to stop,
swerve in his track and lift to the
sled the injured man.
No other dog has ever been able
to lead his team in seven successive
races across the 418-mile course of
the Alaska sweepstakes.
The malmuta mmn not nt
small boy, he was sold into the dog
racine atablei at Darling A 1IU
once of Nome, to become the great
est sled dog of all time.
After his victories his owners
brought him here. His fame trav
eled far and when the war caem
L4eut. Rene Haas of the French
arpiy trai Ied 10.000 mfl t
for war service sons of Baldy's line.
rrom me Alps came some
months later the story of how a
dog team, after rlimhtno-
tous mountains with munitions,
m mio camp without a driver.
A German bullet had found the
soldier. But the
that it was his duty to carry on and
reacn tne isolated regiment. Where
did they find such a dog ? A son of
Baldy of Nome, of course!
It was Baldy that Jack London
used as the composite type of his
dog heroes, and one day a tomb
stone is to be placed over Baldy's
grave and on it will be Inscribed
these lines from a poem written to
him by Esther BirdsaU Darling:
My eyes grow dim, but I seem to
see
The wastes where the Arctic winds
blow free ...
They say when the breath of a dog
is done
That he and the clay of his grave
are one; ,
A lie, I say. for there is no end
So long as he lives in the heart of
a friend."
FIREMAN WALLS HURT
AT AFTERNOON FIRE
Dewey Walls, a member of the
Salisbury fire department, was
painfully injured, about 1:80
o'clock this afternoon Just after
the fire truck on which he was rid
ing' had completed a run to the
Salisbury Cotton Mills section
from which point an alarm had
been turned In.
Fireman Walls had jumped from
the hose truck and was pulling a
line of hose from the same when
the end of one section swung
around, the brass coupling, striking
him in -the head and knicking an
ugly hole in the same. He was
placed in an automobile and rushed
to the hospital, but it is not thought
his injuries are of a real serious
nature, although, he was bleeding
profusely and suffering some pain
when brought, to the. city.
The Are was in a section just
south of the mill and one residence
was damaged to some .extent but
was not destroyed.

Light Engineers Co-oper-'
ate With the United
States Experts.
Washington. April 25. The
hesdliarht evil is going to be cor
rected if it takes the government
and all state and local authorities
to do it
That is the assurance given .out
by experts of the United States
Bureau of Standards who are co
operating with a special commit
tee on motor vehicle lighting of
the American Illuminating Engi
neering Society.
1 Automobile manufacturers, too,
are interested in regulations con
cerning headlights and have offer
ed to aid the Bureau of Standards
and legal authorities in their work.
Standard Lights
What the authorities are es-
ecially desirous of accomplishing
s the creation oi recognizea
standards for' automobile head
lights and the formulation of a
' uniform headlight law through the
coun'trv.
An agreement has already been
reached on the kind of light re
quired and the limits for controll
ing glaring lights. The establish
ment of headlight adjusting sta
tions in garages, according to the
Bureau of Standards, has been a
desirable step toward uniformity
in automobile lighting.
. ' Bureau of Standards experts
have been swamped with offers of
help from all over the country. An
informal organization of state
authorities, representing all of
New England,. New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mary
land, has been formed.
First Step Made
' Their main purpose is to estab
lish a uniform headlight law
among their own states and to
urge the same , law upon other
states until the whole country is
' covered. Their's is the first step
toward federalization of a uniform
headlight law.
Uniform laws alone, however,
could not abolish the ' headlight
evil, say the men studying the sit
uation here. JBesides such laws
there should be a uniform proce
dure in enforcing these laws and,
especially, an extensive campaign
of education for enforcement of
ficers, garage men and automobile
drivers, i -
The committee of Illuminating
engineers and all automobile ex
perts interested are working to
gether for a plan of action that
will include these essentials. .
