"The desire for having a Parent Teacher organization is not suffi cient. It must be accompanied by a knowledge of what the organiza tion can do for the School and the. community.

KX PERT TO CONFER OX OCCTPATIOX WASHINGTON. Nov. 9 In ac cepting the American claim to equal participation with the Al lied powers in German payments on account of forces maintained on the Rhine, the Allied govern ments nave proposed that an American expert be sent to Paris to confer as to ways and means of such, participation. , From the Allied viewpoint the problem of fiieetUtff th American claim is complicated by the fact that In large measure payments already received and disbursed for the maintenance of the troops on the Rhine have been made b' Germany largely in kind, cattle, coal, building, materials and sim ilar commodities having been turned over instead of cash. For thesesuipplies the Allied , govern-) ments have had Immediate use but It Is believed in Europe, the United States government would not desire 8Uh payments unless It was proposed to market the American shore in Europe, where antisfactory prices would be diffi cult to obtain. The American balance due from Germany Is well over t254, 000,000 it is pointed out and the Allied ambassadors' here Jn presenting the conclusions of the French, British, Italian and Belgian gov ernments to Secretary Hughes are CmldiMS m fait .V4m IS HELD IN E BURN! FORESTS Three Blazes in Past 48 Hours in This Region Destroy Timber. With the arrest last night of Emory McAbee, of Falrview, forest wards believe they have the per son responsible for the starting of at least one forest fire in this vicinity within tha past few days. He is being held under observa tion in the county Jajl, the belief being expressed that' he is not of sound mind. Forest fires In three different localities within a 20-mile radius of Asheville within the past i houax haa burned omt E00 acres of .hardwood timber, and early thin morninat were still burning, air though. Vardens reported all three were being brought under control. Although the ' other fires had burned over a greater area, tha most threatening was On Elk Mountain, where the Elk Moun tain apple orchards, of nearly B00 acres of bearing trees, are endan gered. A small section of the ap ple- trees were burned before the fire was extinguished, but Forest Warden Lwnn Weaver, In charge of combatting the flames, reported at midnight that no more damage to the orchard was expected. This fire has Durned over 75 acres of valuable iardwood. Its origin has been determined by the wardens as from the camp-fires of 'possum hunters. Another fire, -between Democrat and Morgan's Creek, burned over 200 acres of young hardwood, ana-- the flames are being fought this morning. This fire started, ward ens, said, by a six-year-old boy playing with matches. The third fire, at Hickory Nut Gap in Fairviow. also burned over 200 acres, but wardens this morn ing did not believe Weaver's Majority May Go to 9,000 In Tenth District Fisher Will Come to Ashe ville Today and Congrat ulate the Victor.

Both "Drys" And "Wets" Say Victory Theirs On Tuesday WASHINGTON. Nov. . Thn political complexion of the next Congress having oeen nmnu-ijr -t-hiiahed. interest turned today on the probabfe line-up on the ques tion or moairicanon vi mo """'J hltlnn enforcement laws. Both ih. ".i-v' onil "wets" were claim In a victory as a resullof Tues day's (elections. - For" the Anti-Saloon League, Wavne K. Wheeler, general coun sel, said the "wets" would not have as many votes, by three at least, in the Senate as nerew.or and that their strength in the House would not exceed 140 or 78 less than a majority. On the other hand, the Associa tion - Against the Prohibition Amendment, through G. C. Hinck ley, its general secretary, claimed a gain of 80 "liberal" votes In the House, which, it ia asserted, would give actual control of tha body to the modificatiojiistir. , " , "The pronounced increase m tne wet' .membership," said Mr. Hinckley's statement. "renders highly probable the passage of lib eral legislation In the next eesaion of Congress that will strike the first blow at the more stringent provision f the Volstead act. "Involved in this view, is a con sideration of the change In hard ships of the powerful committees in the House. The defeat of An drew. J. Volstesd, of Minnesota, removes the author of the objeo tlonable prohibition enforcement act from the chairmanship of the House Judiciary Committee alv- ing the place over to Representa tive Graham, of Pennsylvania, an avowed "wet.' " Mr. Hinckley said the . House leadership would be in the hands of a "liberar' and that thia mignt be expected to influence material ly the vote on any future ' liberal" legislation. J ' Mr. Wheeler, Jn his statement, declared that the claims of tha association against the amendment of a gain of 80 votes in the next Houae was "like the foam on a glass of beer nothing substantial to it." ."In the House," said Mr. Wheel er, "their total strength In the past for any beer or light-wine amend ment or similar weakening amend ment to the national prohibition act was not more than 1-39. The last reports we have from the States with a few districts out, show that they will never muster J40 rotes for any such amend ment. Their vote will probably be much less thaj) that. "Tha only real test bf sentiment on tie 8.7S per cent ' beer Issue thia. year was in Ohio. Here the proposal was defeated by more than 150,000. In Illinois the organised 'dry forces did not vote either way on the beer proposal. "The defeat of. the codes In Massachusetts and California is no loss because wa never had any enforcement codes In those States." Both the "wets ' and "drys" are preparing for a fight in the new Congress. Mr. Hinckley declared a fNn--story hotel at a cost of some 8160?000. The structure will be modern in every detail, according to the present plans, and will con tain 60 rooms and baths. Founda tion will be laid for a seven-story building. which is ultimately planned. Miss O'Connell who has lived in Asheville for some time, but who Is originally fronj Philadelphia, owns the lot on the southwest corner at the intersection of the two streets, the dimensions being 120 by ISO feet. It is considered an Ideal site for a development of this character. According to the preliminary plans, the building itself will cost about $150,000 and the furnishings and equipment will run the flKurc up many thousands of dollars more. . Coincident with this announce ment is the fact that a large pine tree, which for years has served as a landmark was felled on the lot yesterday. The tree stood on the corner and It was originally planned by Miss O'Connell to leave it standing to futmlsh shade for the porch of the proposed hotel. How ever, it developed recently that the tree had become infected with the "pine bug." or some parasite. which has done much damage to the nine trees of the section. It was then that Miss O'Connell de- rfrieH to have it removed. The tree stood on the. original Patton Estate and in the old days attracted much attention because of its huge size.

A , few acatterinj; results here and there will not change the situa tion. Tho Republicans seem to have won both houses of Congress -by narrow margins. Enough are Republican I'rogresslves, most of 1 them followers of fighting Bob LaFollette to actually dictate the organization of the Senate and House. The. prospects for real fun are very bright. Democrats ore pre-empting front seats to see the tight.,.;, . , : The Democratic sweep came as a groat surprise to Democrats as woli as Republicans. Two months ago It was apparent that the peo ple were oacstinr ins Aaminiatra tloa, but soon after Congress quit and tha Republicans began to send money to doubtful states, things1 picked up a little for them, but that did not last long. On the dav ot the election the drift was away from the Republicans. i Frank A.

Kellogg, in Minnesota, will nefuse to enter ihe Republican caucus and will probably act with the Democrats. In this situation Hampton thiks it is very douht lul whether or not the Republi cans will even be able to reorgan ize the next Seilite. it woum take a long stretch of imagination ,. to visualize such men as LaFol lette, Brookhart and Borah voting Sm fir. t foe Chairman of Fin- ,- or for Warren for Chairman of Appropriations. Undoubtedly the trouble la ahead for Vie Administration In the Senate, ' Then there is Senator Simmons, who will probably bs the mil Democratic leader of tha , Senate, succeeding Underwood who has announced his retirement for the leadership. While Mr. Hamp ton would not discuss the pros pects of Senator Simmons' election as Democratic leader, he. did not deny that many officers of support; have already roached the senator's office. It is understood that al most all of the Democratic Sena tors who have discussed the mat ter have agreed that the leader ship ought to go to Simmpns if he will accept it. In the absence of any -word from Senator Sim mons 8S to whether he would ac cept the leadership or not, Mr. Hampton would make no com ment. Able Generalship Proved In Senate in DHL The signification of Senator Simmons as Democratic Sen.ie leader will be seen when it Is re membered that in 1911 when the Senate was Republican before. Senator Simmons performed a piece of work that had never be fore been done in the history of the American Conkress. &im- his well known gift of harmonizing difficulties actually passed througb a Republican Senate the Demo cratic tariff bills that originated in the House of Representatives, which was then Democratic. With the situation that will be present ed In. the next Senate it can bs readily understood how littls chance the organization Republi cans would have of dominating things if Mr. Simmons were- elect ed Democratic leader. It Is well known In Washington that LaFol lette and Norris and other Re publican Progressives have a. habit any way of working with and following Senator Simmons. Hampton says the House ap pear to be about equally divided between the Democrats and Re publicans, with the Republicans having, a normal majority of flva to -one. but the situation is tha same as In the Senate.
