WEDNESDAY. At G. 25. 192f> t MOVING DAY FOR DEPARTMENTS, Ho veil lie Bureau Goes Into New Half - Million - Dollar Structure. f Raleigh, Aug. 11).—Moving day in r the State Departments 'today sent the Department of Revenue from its old quarters in the Agricultural j | Building 1 annncx to the new hillf million dollar Revenue Building across Capital Square, and inaugu rated a general shifting of locations by a half-dozen other departments and bureaus. The Revenue Depart ment is taking into the new build ing with it the Automobile License Bureau, thus putting under one roof the tax collecting agencies which were first put under one department by the 1925 General Assembly. | The old quarters of the Revenu 1 Department back of the Agricultur * al Building will be divided among the Department of Conservation and Development, the Adjutant Gener al's Department and the Department of Charities and Public Welfare. The space in the State Highway Building made vacant by the trans fer of the Automobile License Bu-' reau will be taken over by the High way Commission, which has been calling for more room for severs! months. Further room for the Highway Commission will be pro vided when the Land Grant Division of the Department of State moves from the Highway Building to the old Blind School Building where the Department of Conservation and De velopment has been quartered. I State Forests Offer 1 Healthy Vacations ( A pleasant, healthful way to spend a vacation is to camp in the Nation al or state forests. Public camp sites fur the use of tourists and others have been established at practically all of the forests. Fire l places, pure water supplies, comfort stations, garbage containers, tables, benches, and tent space are provid-1 ed in nearly all of the camps. The only obligation of the campers is to guard against forest fires by ex- j ercising care in putting out camp fires. Information may be secured from the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., and j from tfte forestry . departments of your own state. | ~~r' I "as I getter be st^^^^msony" M? m f.

' ( i The position of the lunar cres- . I : cent depends upon the angle that the moon's path makes with the horizon and on any given date it ( is always the same in places hav- ( ing the same latitude. If the en date throughout a belt of lati- ] same kind of weather, eith/'r dry ] or rainy, would prevail on any giv- j en ate throughout a belt of iati-.j tude extending entirely around the ; globe. Of course there is no such . ' unjforr-Vty lof weather in f. relation . to latitude. In the temperate zones, ( where the weather travels contrast i of wet and dry weather conditions ' are likely to be found along parallels f latitude rather than meridians of ' longitude. j' Near the Equator the position of ' the young moon never makes an angle of more than 30 degrees with the horizon, and it is generally in an even more neauly horizontal position, so that in a part of the J world notorious for regions of. i I heavy rainfall, the nloon is, accord- ; ing to the proverb, always a "dry" one. The final absurdity is the case of the crescent moon as seen from the North and South Poles, where it is always what the proverb de 's-ribes as "wet", for at those places | the line joining the tips of the cres cent always makes an angle of le-s I than 25 degrees to the vertical; >'etj ( the polar regions are characterized by so little precipitation in the | form of rain and snow that they ( rank among the arid regions of the , globe, says the Weather Bureau.

Winston-Salem, Aug. 20.—Twenty thousand automobile licenses have been issued and $280,379.75 collect-1 ed by the bureau of the Winston- i Salem Automobile Club, it was stat- | ed yesterday after a check of fig ures. This is 4,000 licenses more than were sold and $15,000 more than was collected during last year. Figures quoted are from July 1, 1921, to July 1, 1925; and from July 1. 1025, to July I, 192(5.

God Hears Strange Prayer When Man Is j Bitten By A Snake' -—1- I Newton, Aug. 20.—A few days | ago Nathaniel Loudi rr.iilk, a good natured but rather Godless man of. east Newton, was in his garden picking tomatoes, and suddenly he i felt a stinging sensation in th.' calf} of his right leg. When he investi- j gated the cause of the pain he saw , a monstrous snake hanging to him with his fangs caught in his trous-1 ers. Becoming alarnjed !n,t what \had , happened to him. he ran quickly to the house and told his wife that he was snake bitten, and then asked her what he could do. She told him that in her opinion the first thing he ought to do was to pray. This 1 he said he hail never done, but in this instance he would try it. | Whereupon he fell on his knees and said: | "Oh Lord! this is Nathaniel Loud-■ ermilk, of 371 Smyre street, New ton, N. C. 1 was in my garden a little while ago trying to gather •» few tomatoes, and accidentally sten ped on a big snake, and when 1 did the damned thing bit nie in the leg. Amen." |Fruit and Truck Growing! Increased Tlu- standard of living in the United States has risen by leaps and bounds in recent years. A true indication of this fact is seen in the increased quantity of fresh fruits and vegetables that are used, I because just as the consumption of these increases does the general standard «.f living rise. ' Records kept by the railroads show i hat in 1017 there were 112,- 17S car!«ads of fresh fruit and vege table- -hipped in the United State. This in teased last year to 1>63,412. or 13.i ;> r cent. This does not tak.' j into cor. the large quanti ties oT.-umed by those who grew them up where they were carried to i market in trucks, wagons, etc., but refers only to those shipped in car lots over the railroads. In no se tion of the United States has the percentage of increase in j the production of fruits and vege tables been greater than in the 1 South. They are being produced in 'ever increasing quantities. That is 'why both truck and fruit growing are becoming so increasingly im portant as the years go by. It has | more than doubled in the past eight years and who knows but that the J rate of increase will be greater in the ne.xt cigJJt years. Indications 'point that way at least. Are Your Children In Good Health? I \\ hat about the youngster who 'starts to school this fall, Are hi teeth in good shape; are his tonsils all right; and his weight up to normal ? The child who begins | I school with the handicap of health hasn't a fair chan e compet-, ing with his huskier playmates. The time to get him into good condition' is before school opens, for every day he has to miss when school 'starts puts him behind. Mouth ( breathing, pale color, abnormal weight or lack of weight, and noor ( appetite, are not natural. They 1 mean that something is definitely wrong. A good physicial examina tion by a competent doctor now, whether the child seems to need it or not, may save days and dollars later. | New York is considering the prop csi'ion of taxing .•»' 'i visit ir to the .city.
