THE CAROLINA MOTOR CLUB The North Carolina Organization the Largest in the South. Greensboro, September 24.—Keep ing pace wit’u the phenomenal growth of the automotive industry which in 25 years has replaced steel as Amer ica’s chief industry, the Carolina Mo tor Club this week is celebrating its third birthday. September 22. 1922, a group of staunch Carolinians from throughout the state —a band of pioneers with courage and vision who realized the potentialities and need of suPa a club, founded the t’arolina Motor Club. The late Emmanuel Sternberger, ven ertated Greensboro pioneer, was its first president and when he took of fice there was a deficit of $52. C. C. Armstrong, of Gastonia, was the sec ond executive and C. S. Wallace, Morehead City, is the current presi dent. C. W. Roberts has served as active vice president and secretary since the club's inception. Consistent, substantial growth lias placed the Carolina Motor Club in the first fifteen group of the Ameri can automobile association. With a membership of 6,243 the North Caro lina organization is the largest in the South—with twice as many members aq its nearest competitor. Septem ber 22, 1924, there were 3,561 mem bers enrolled ami the year before 1,- 764. ‘‘High pressure” are taboo and an encouraging feature and the ehief fact that stamps the organi zation as substantial and worth wile is the high percentage of renewals—a percentage that warrants the slogan : ‘‘once a member, always a member.” More than 35 “gyp” clubs, so-called organizations that promise all and give nothing, have come into North Carolina during the three years and all have faded away while the Caro lina Motor Club continues to grow steadily. Affiliation with the A. A. A. links it with 749 other clubs and gives members not only national but worldwide service. Carrying out the basic idea of “serv ice” several new departments have been recently added' and others are contemplated as the increasing mem bership justifies. New and enlarged departments include: accident preven tion, legal, research, public relations, license and touring. • Touring is at its peak this yew, tar ******* of road information calls, maps used and routings furnished. , More than 16.000,000 miles of routings—a dis tance 640 times the circumference of the earth —have beep issued in the three years. One routing covered 10,000 miles, embracing a tour to Washington State. Mexico and return. More than 120.000 calls for road in formation, in person, by wire and let ter were answered and 150,000 maps distributed. Just now the work of the legal de partment in seeking to eliminate “speed traps,” mail order arrests and roadside court trials is attracting con siderable attention and 35 speed traps have been abolished and 800 legal cases handled* for members.

Red Cross Campaign For Sweaters For Ex-Service Men in Hospitals As we stated in the announcement in last Friday’s Tribune the American Red Cross has launched a campaign for 30,000 sweaters for ex-service men ,in government hospitals. The Cabar rus Chapter has been asked to furnish six sweaters —four with sleeves and two without sleeves. That is a very small quota for our Chapter, aid it has already ’ been oversubscribed thanks to the good people who have the interest of our ex-service men at heart. .The reason for this campaign is the fact that the war time supply of sweaters has been exhausted, arid by the time cold weather reaches us some of the men in the hospitals will suffer for lack of clothing if this pro vision of sweaters Ls not madoj Many of the men take only the clothes on their back with them when they en ter the hospitals. Hence the first cold pinch finds them without sufficient warm clothing. As stated, our quota lias been subscribed already, but we are not limited in the amount we wish to give.

SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher French Mission Gets Ear of Government WANTS FRANCE TO CEASE FIGHTING j Governor Blaine Does Not Want Debt Settlement Until France Stops Pres ent War In Morocco. Madison, Wis., Sept. 24.— (4 s )— Gov. Blaine, of Wisconsin, today made pub lic a telegram he sent to President Coolidge declaring that before conver sations are entered upon with France upon settlement of the war debt, Am erica should demand “a halt in this ruthless warfare between the French and Kiffians in Morocco.” “Caillaux, French finnace minister, landed in America today seeking ex A tension of time of payment of French debts due America and reduction of interest thereon, the telegram said. “A few days ago dispatches carried the news that France had sent a fleet of 16 airships to fight the Riffians in Morocco, and France boasted that each airship dropped two tons of high explosives upon the homes of Mo roccans, killing defenseless men, wom en and children. “France is engaged in a competitive undertaking in building larger armies and navies and extending her terri tories in the exploitation of weaker and smaller nations. The ruthless warfare that France is making on the mountain folk of Morocco in the kill ing of ’ non-combatants and women and children is nothing short of bar barism. Before conversations are en tered upon with France on the debt settlement. America should demand a halt in this ruthless warfare. Before any confessions are made to France or any other foreign government, America should demand that they cense building larger arnpes and nav ies and cease their warfare on small er and weaker peoples. “To advance the time of payment of America’s debt owing by France as was done in the case of Great Britain, means that the American .taxpayer is to be burdened for the benefit of for eign governments in the pursuit of war and'exploitations. In the name of humanity and decency I protest the settlement of foreign debts until Am erica has assurance that American dollars will not be used for more war and the murdering of helpless, de fenseless women and children.” , MARRIED WOMAN DFXIARES LOYALTY FOR HER LOVER Weeps When Man She Ran Away With is Carted Off bo Roads For Abduction.

Convers ***« tawi* Settlement Debt Formally Began at Capital Today. NO DELAY AT THE BEGINNING Mission Members Called Promptly at the Meeting Hour, and Secretary Mel lon Presided.

CaiUaux Speaks. Washington, Sept. 24. —(4 s )—The French and* American debt commis sioners meeting here today to effect a settlement of France’s $4,000,000,000 war debt, pledged themselves to go into issue as practical men, recognizing the problems of each other, and desirous of reaching a quick agreement. France’s position, stated by Jos. Caillaux her minister of finance, was that her country had not forgotten “what we owe to America for her splendid work to end victoriously the war, and the generous help dur people received from citizens of the United States.” M. Caillaux spoke very briefly,- ex plaining that the hope of the French is to reach a settlement that be not only practical insofar as material in terests are concerned, but one that would be worthy of the past of the two great nations. He said the dis cussions between the two commissions should go forward “in such away as to fortify peace and help the economic stabilization of the World.”, Secretary MellOt), head of the Amer ican debt commission, declaring he recognized the influence the present conference may have on the peace of the world, described the American de sire and duty as one in the direction of a settlement that would be fair to all. and “in the practical test of time, workable.” The joint session today was com paratively brief, lasting only a little more than an hour. It was followed, however, by a meeting of the Ameri can commission which it was indicated was prepared to talk over the general situation among its own members. The conclusion of the joint session gave the French a test of treatment by a small army of American newspa per photographers. M. Caillaux took the affair as a matter of course, and frequently cautioned members of the commission to sit still while the pic tures were being made. “I have come from France,” said M. Caillaux at the opening of the con ference ‘‘entrusted by my govern ment to meet the obligations of my country toward the United States. “Highly appreciative members of oiir parliament belonging to qll par ties, chairmen or reporters of the fi-, nancinl and trade commission of the j upper and lower house have been so j Ifind as to accompany me. Like my self. these gentlemen have the great- 1 est desire to reach a settlement. “We do not forget and no one in : our country will ever forget what we! owe to American for her splendid work ; to end victoriously the war, and for | the generous hplp our people received j from citizens of_the United States in j time of need. We neither forget, and we feel sure nobody on this side j of the Atlantic forgets, the ties knot-1 ted between both Tiur countries at the j end of the 18th century.
