Marconi is now working to perfect j his wireless telephony, and he says that soon people will be aking across the Atlantic Ocean. The following dispatch from London, quoting this gifted inventor, is interesting read ing: "I expect eventually to bridge the Atlantic with wireless telephony. When New York talks to London it will be in this manner, and not through a cable, the layng of which would be prohibitive." This statement was made by Sena tor Marconi in a discussion with a Un iversal Service representative of Col onel Carty's demonstration of cable and wireless telephony between Hava na, Cuba, and atalina, off California. Mr. Marconi was) not much impress ed with .the practical value of Colo nel Carty's achievement, inasmuch as the cost of maintaining land and sub sea wires over areas stretching for thousands of miles is a prohibitive fac tor. At the same time he admitted that long distance wireless telephony bad not advanced to a practical com mercial stage. "We have had wireless talke be tween London and Rome, London and Geneva and other points," he added, "and we have even gotten a few words across the Atlantic, but we can not work in a practical way across long sea distances. . There are certain dis turbances of the waves in space, the cause of which has not yet 'been de termined. "I am again leaving for the Medi terranean to continue on my yacht the experiments I began last year." Asked about the facilities for eaves dropping in wireless telephony, Sena tor Marconi said: "Is is not so easy to pick up mes sages, and if it were there are not roany instances in which they would be useful. Americans in London, fo? in stance, wanting to speak to their wives or sweethearts at home, would not care about anyone 'tapping' their messages so long as they could hear the voices of people dear to them. Wireless telephony is not more likely to be tapped than wireless telegraphy. "When wireless phone stations are working between London and New York, it will not be necessary to go to the station to exchange calls; it will be possible to speak from appa ratus in your own room." i SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION The regular May term of Stanly superior count for the trial of civil causes convened here Monday morn ing at 9:30 o'clock, with Judge Bis Ray presiding. The calendar is re garded as a very heavy one and un less many cases shall be compromised and continued, it is thought that the entire week will be consumed in dis posing of the business.

SIX COMMON SENSE RULES FOR TIMES LIKE THESE ' ONE If you can't pay all of your debts, pay a part on all of them.- TWO Remember the interests of your creditors their credit has help ed, now help them. THREE Don't try to holdall your cotton. Sell a part and pay a part of all you owe. . FOUR If you and your neighbors don't help the merchants and bank ers, who have been helping you, all of us will be in "a pickle." FIVE Don't carry much money in your pockets or store it in trunks. Put it in the banks and pay your debts and thereby keep money in cir culation. SIX Be cheerful and talk better times. Your co-operation mow means your prosperity later. The News-Herald has heretofore referred to America as a nation grad ually making herself a terror to oth er nations, "where in time past she has been loved and respected. This country has never been feared by any peace-loving nation in days gone by She has been a mighty factor in the affairs of natons, but her power has always been due to the fact that she has been regarded as unselfish and true to the great principles of freedom and justice. Her word has been re spected abroad because of this. Since her engagement in the war in Europe and especially since we repudiated the League of Nations, our attitude has been of a threatening nature. We have shown our teeth as the fierce dog does when about to spring upon a sup posed enemy. We have put a mighty gun in our pocket, and we do not hesi tate to let friends and foes alike know it. Now read the following news dis patch from Boston, dated May 11th, and say' that we shall not make civili zation shiver in her boots even more so than did Napoleon or Wilhelm of Germany in their palmiest days: A Boston scientist has given the U. S. Army the most terrible instrument of death ever devised by man. Two men, possessing the secret, could murder every soul in this city in half a day, with little danger to themselves. The new weapon, which makes the United States more than ever invin cible, is a volatile liquid poison a gas so deadly in its effects that despite all efforts at secrecy, European nations have learned with alarm of its exist ence. Statements made by their pub lic officials already prophesy terrible things for the "next war," and hint at the mysterious gas discovered by America. Their alarm is not unfounded. Five hundred pounds of the new substance liberated on Flagstaff Hill would kill instantly every living thing on Boston Common; in that part of Beacon street which borders it; in Boylston street from Park square to Washington; in West Street, Temple place, Winter street, Park street and Tremont Street, as far north as the Old Granary burial ground. Part of the public garden would also be inclu ded in the area affected, which would be 1S00 feet on a side. Foreign nations are considering the havoc which might be wrought by huge aerial bombs, carrying half a ton or more of this fluid, and dropped in populous sections of their chief cities from airplanes. Maj. Gen. Sir Frederick Sykes, in an address before the Institute of Transportation in London, pictured the horrors of the "next war" in the air, and said: "American reports of a new gas to be dropped from the air are practi cable. Air .operations may include gas attacks from the air in co-operation with submarienes on naval bases. General Sykes had read the follow ing statement attributed to a high official of the American Chemical Warfare service, who guardedly dis cussed the propertes of the new gas: "One plane, carrying two tons of the liquid, could cover an area 100 feet wide and seven miles long, in one trip, and could deposit enough ma terial to kill every man in that area." "During the Argonne offensive, the entire First American Army of 1,250, 000 men, occupied an area of approx imately 40 kilometers long by 20 kil ometers wide. If Germany had had 4000 tons of this material and 400 air planes equipped for its distribution, that entire First Army would have been annihilated in twelve hours. "It would be possible for this coun try to manufacture several thousand tons a day." ANNOUNCEMENT All members of the Walter B. Hill j Post of the Amercan Legion are re quested to be present at a special meeting of the Post to be held in the Court House at Albemarle Thursday night, May 19th, at 7:45. Important matters relative to the establishment of a Post Club Room for Albemarle are to be discussed. Please be on hand. H. G. VICK Commander. New London, May 17th.

Hill Post of the American Legion has called a special meeting of the Post for Thursday night, May lDth, in the court house, at which time plans i.rc to be discuss- i ed relative to the establishment of a , Headquarters, or Club Room, for Al bemarle. This is something of which the lo cal post is in dire need. The move has for its purpose the furtherance of the Legion work in Albemarle and Stanly County, and such should meet with the hearty support of all citizens of the town. In many places through out the country the various Posts have been given Club Houses or headquarters free, and their patriotic efforts applauded by a grateful peo ple. These former soldiers who went out and served their country in time of war, thousands of them giving up their lives, have associated them selves together for high and noble purposes. The following extract is from the constitution of the American Legion. For God and country, we associ ate ourselves together for the follow ing purposes: "To uphold and defend the Consti tution of the United States of Amer ica; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred Americanism; to preserve the memo ries of our association in the great war; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and Nation: to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to poster ity the principles of Justice, freedom and Democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our de votion to mutual helpfulness. It is hoped that the citizenship of our city will co-operate with these ex soldiers in their laudable undertak ing of establshing and maintaining a headquarters for ex-soldiers and their activities in Stanly County. COPPERHEAD DOES ONE GOOD DEED A copperhead pilate choked a chick en hawk nearly to death a few days ago. Mr. George Hinson, of near Liberty Hill church, saw a hawk sit ting out a little ways, as if there were something wrong with it. He walked out towards where it was sitting, and the hawk flew. He noticed something hanging to the hawk, and that it flew about one hundred yards and fell. He was about to kill the hawk when he no ticed a copperhead pilate's head stick ing out, and on examning it he found the snake had wound itself around the hawk's neck and had choked the hawk nearly to death. It was thought that the hawk tried to catch the snake and the snake got the best of the hawk. FROM A. READER. P. S. Venus, if you can beat that, trot out your hawks and snakes. Asheville, N. C The Iredell Coun ty Farm Bureau sold to the Bun combe Farm Federation Pure Bred Duroc Pigs for their auction sale. Without these two farm organizations the Iredell breeders would have had trouble of disposing of their stock, and the Buncombe farmers could not have secured such quality at such good prices. The music and literature depart ments of the Woman's Club held their last regular meeting of the club year on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with a large number present. Mrs. Scales presided over the meeting, which was opened by singing the Star Spangled Banner, after which the following program was rendered: A quartet, Our Yesterdays, sung by Mesdames W. L. Mann, T. R. Wolf A. C. Hunewcutt and W. E. Milton. A paper Some American Critics of American Democracy Mrs. J. M. Brown. A piano solo 'Mrs. Pence. A paper Sketches of the Lives and Works of some Important Figures in the Musical Development of our Coun try Mrs, T. P. Bumgardner. A duet Miss Mary McDonald and Mrs. J. D. Bivins. A Paper America's contribution in the Civilization of the World Mrs. J. N. Anderson. This was one of the most interest ing meetings of the year, and as it was the close of the year's work the election of officers for the coming year was in order. They were elected as follows: Literature Mrs. J. N. Anderson, Chairman, Mrs. A. C. Huneycutt, vice president, and Mrs. M. J. Harris Sec retary. Music Mrs. Key Scales chairman; Mrs. Pence, vice-president, Mrs. J. R. Price, secretary. GOOD YEAR AT A. N. & I. I. tesville with Mrs. Carlie Ritchie on j their way home. ' Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Crowell of Con- ! cord spent Sunday afternoon and ! night with relatives. Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Minnie Belk 1 of Marshville were guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Mauney Sunday and Mon- ,day. Mr. Bill Blodgett of Newsom spent a short while here with friends Sun day. . Mrs. W. N. Napier was elected or ganist at the M. E. Church Sunday to take the place of Miss Louise Ross. Mrs. Napier is also Lady manager of the Junior Missionary Society. The Betterment Club will hold the regular monthly meeting on Thursday afternoon, conducted by the vice-president. Prof. Surratt will be an ac tive member; with his co-operation they will try to do all possible for the school. The Christian Endeavor Sermon of the Albemarle Normal and Industrial Institute was preached on Sunday morning, May fifteenth, at the Pres byterian Church by Rev. John Jordan Douglass of Wadesboro, from Ephesi ans 4:13. On Sunday evening Mr. Douglas preached the commencement sermon from Proverbs 9:1 in the Me thodist Church. All who heard these sermons were impressed with their beauty of language, depth of thought and richness in gospel truth. In many ways this has been one of the best years in the history of our school. Many girls have developed a deeper spiritual life and we feel that much advancement has been made along all lines. Twenty-six of our givls wished to become student volunteers, but being too young to take the pledge they have been formed into a "vo'unteer prayer band," and everything is be ing done to encourage the desire in the hearts of our pupils to be prepar ed and willing to give themselves to definite service for the Master. It will be of interest and probably a matter of surprise to our friends to know that the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor of the Albemarle Normal and Industrial Institute have raised $180 durng the school year. The following is a list of the places where the money has been sent: Near East Relief, $60.00. Support of a girl in China, $30.00. Y. W. C. A. Headquarters, $7.00. Special gift to Frances Elva Ru pert, $15.00. Chinese Relief, $25.00. Sunday School Union, $3.00. American Bible Society, $7.00. Foreign Missions, $15.50. Japanese Nickel Campaign for Missions, $10.00. Testament League, $5.00. Rally Day, $3.00. Being privileged to give our Chi nese girl an American name, we call ed her Frances Elva Rupert, for Miss Ufford, the beloved founder of our school, and ,for two of our present workers. We are expecting to send four del egates to the Young Peoples' Confer ence at Peace Institute, Raleigh, and four to the State Christian Endeav or Convention in Wilmington. Wre have more girls in our school from Stanly County this year than ever before in the history of the school; but we want many more of our own girls to get the advantages which we have to offer. Mrs. Harris will be glad to see or hear from any parents who have ' daughters to send away, if they wish for them a good, thorough, practical Christian education.
