PECAN GRADING STATION BEING PLANNED NOW Will Be Opened if There is Sufficient Interest to Warrant It. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Nov. 26.—A pecan grad ing station will be established in Ral eigh by the marketing division of the State department of agriculture, pro vided there is a sufficient demand for this grading station by the pecan growers of the state, according to George Ross, chief of the markets di vision. In the meantime, the divi sion is ready to assist pecan growers in getting their crop graded at other nearby stations, preferably Florence. S. C., and tp help them market their crop. If'the grading station is establish ed in Raleigh, growers will have three optional courses open to them. They can send their crop to be graded, and then have the graded crop returned to them to market individually; they can send their crop and have it grad ed and marketed from Rhleigh by the markets division, or they can pool their crop with the North and South Carolina Pecan Growers’ Association, and market it through the associa tion’s pool. These three options can also be exercised now through the grading station of the Pecan Growers’ Association at Florence, S. C. The demand for pecans this year is good, according to the marketing experts, and prices are holding up very well, the best grade of_ pecans bringing from 40 cents .to 45 cents, and down to 12 cents a pound for small seedlings. The demand is heav iest, however, for the better grade pecans. While the Georgia pecan crop is short this year, the Georgia growers are profiting from their action in hold ing over 1,500,000 pounds of pecans from the 1926 crop, which are selling at 10 cents a pound higher than last year’s crop. This action on the part of the Georgia growers last year also held prices up last year, and from this carry-over they were able to sup ply the Hallowe’en nut trade, which is getting to be almost as large as the Thanksgiving and Christmas trade. Heretofore it has not been possible to get new crop pecans har vested in time for the Hallowe’en trade. As a result of this carry-over ex periment, it is expected that a large poundage of pecans will be carried over each year, in order to supply the early demand for nuts, especially pecans.

FAMILIAR FACES WILL BE MISSING Number of Well Known Senators and Congressmen Have Finished Terms. Washington, D. C., Nov. 25.—Two weeks from Monday more than half a thousand Senators and Representa tives will take their seats in their re spective chamber in the Capitol for the opening of the Seventieth Con gress. There will be more new mem bers than a new Congress usually brings, but even more noticeable will be the absence of some who were familiar figures in either Senate or House for many years. The older members of th# Senate will greatly miss Oscar W. Under wood of Alabama, who voluntarily re tired with the close of his term last March,- after a congressional career of 30 years, during which he had serv ed as the Democratic leader in both the House and Senate. His place as senator from Alabama will be taken by Hugo Black, a newcomer to Wash ington. On the Republican side of the Sen ate two vetrans will be missing in the persons of James W. Wadsworth of New York and Irvine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin. Air. Wadsworth had served twelve years in the Senate and Mr. Lenroot entered the Senate nine years ago after a notable career in the House. Both were defeated a year ago for re-election. Judge Rob. F. Wag ner, Democrat, comes to Senate as the successor of Mr. Wadsworth, While Mr. Lenroot is succeeded by James J. Blaine, a former Governor of the Badger State. Ogden L. Mills, who was prominent as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, retired to accept the post of Undersecretary of the Treasury. He in succeeded as represen tative of the Seventeenth New York district by William W. Cohen. J. N. Tincher of the Seventh Kan sas district will be missed. Mr. Tin cher was the largest men in Congress and. a picturesque figure in the Re publican party for many years. Another spectacular member of the House who went down to defeat in the last election is William D. Upshaw, who represented the Fifth Georgia district and made himself conspicu ous by his vigorous defence of prohi bition on every possible occasioin. Equally etrenous and picturesque as an opponent of prohibition was John Philip Hill of Maryland, who also fell by the wayside. Mr. Hill tried for the Maryland senatorial nomination and failed. Os the dozen Senators who will take their seats, five have seen previous service in the House and con sequently are already known to Washington. They are Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky, who succeeda Richard O. Ernest; William S. Vare of Pennsylvania, who replaces George Wharton Pepper; Alillard E. Tydings, who defeated O. E. Weller of Mary land ; Elmer Thomas, who unseated John W. Harrald of Oklahoma, and Carl Hayden, who takes the place of Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona. The seven other new members who will appear in the Senate are: Charles W. Waterman of Colorado, Frank L. Smith of Frederick Steiwer of Oregon, Smith W. Brook hart of lowa, John J. Blaine of Wis consin, Hugo Black of Alabama, and Robert F. Wagner of New York. Alembers of more or less promi nence in House affairs who will be missing when the new Congress meets include Benjamin L. Fairchild of New York, Charles D. Carter of Oklahoma, Eld ward Yoigt of Wisconsin, Francis F. Patterson of New Jersey, Oscar E. Keller of Minnesota, Gordon Lee of Georgia and John H. Smithwick of Florida. ' Hunt Buried Gold Under Old House in French Capital. (By International News Service) Paris, Nov. 23. —The proprietor of a picturesque old restaurant, “La Petite Chaise,” is looking for buried treasure and digging frantically in his cellar for a pile of gold that was once the fortune of the wealthy Dues de Luynes. Ever since £he middle of the sev enteenth century it has been whisper ed about that there was money be neath the very spot where many a Frenchman, as well as American has satisfied his hunger. A score of pro prietors have begun to dig up the foundations, only to abandon the task in despair and repeat the story to his successor. Not long ago, a resident became interested in “The Little Chair” and started negotiations to buy it. The owner, however, was still under the spell'of the legend and reserved the rights to dig up the cellar. He had the floor sounded by sensitive elec tric detectors and was assured of the presence of metal below the surface. It has not all been dear digging. At one time the water welled up in the hole and he was obliged to install a pump. C. S. MADDOX HELD FOR HOTEL BURNING Thomas. R. Byrd and John Burton, Asheville Men Accused By Him, Are Set Free.

Cleveland, 0., Nov. 24. —(INS)—* Prof. C. J. Wiggers, head of thl department of physiology at Wet* tern Reserve University, and one of the foremost authorities in the com* try on the action and pecularities oi the human heart, is seeking a meth od by which it will be possible to resuscitate persons who have beea “killed” by electric chock. A special fund has been set aside for Prof. Wigger’s research, and hi is now perfecting apparatus with which he hopes to make motion pi» turee of heart beats. Prof. Wiggers explained that a» electric shock may cause death it either of two ways. Death may result from cessation of respiration or of the heart action, induced by tw shock. In cases where breathing ii stopped, the victim may be revived with a pulmotor or artificial respire tion but science has not yet discos ered a means for causing the heart to resume beating, once it has conx to a standstill- If he can secure motion pictures a the heart action, Prof. Wiggers wil be enabled to make a careful, detail e<f study of the muscular activity in volved, on the basis of which he hopei to find a solution to the problem Such a remedy might also revive pen sons who have “died” of a suddol heart attack, he believes.
