PAGE TWO ACCIDENTS FEWER IN N. UPJSTRY But Industrial Workers Killed on Highways Still Serious Thing Unity ni«l»ateh IlnrMn. In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKEBVII-I- Raleigh, May 19.—Industry is at last “going places” in the prevention of accidents in mills and factories, with the result that industrial acci dents are becoming almost a thing of the past in many plants, due to the fact that both the management and the employees have become “safety conscious,” Chairman T. A. Wilson, of the N. C. Industrial Commission, point ed out today on the eve of the open ing of the eighth annual safety con ference in Winston-Salem tomorrow. But many industries are finding that highway safety has not kept pace with industrial safety with the result that highway accidents are now cost ing them mue 7 more than shop and factory accid-rs, Wilson said. So the emphasis 'n this year's safety confer ence will h» on ways and means to reduce the number of highway acci dents. “Take for example, the experience of the Champion Fibre company, cf Canton, during 1936,” Chairman Wil son said. “During 1936 this company did not have a single employe killed while on the job in the plant itself while for five months not a single em ploy was even injured in an indus trial accident inside the plant. But during this year eight employes were killed in highway accidents. The com pany figures that it cost many thous ands of dollars to Fain these men, that their deaths were a heavy loss to the company. Out of the 88 work ers killed last year while on duty, 29 were killed in highway accidents, while a total of 1,026 persons were kill ed in highway accidents in the state in 1936, representing a tremendous economic loss.” In the safety contest' now under way in the textile plants the 37,370 \CBg/ CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION a^&OBERTCUGT/S CHAPTER 53 •‘YOU SAY the 51,500,000 was .o go to mother only if I weren’t alive?” Jacqueline asked Charles. “Yes, of course.” She was thought ful for a few moments, and then went on. “As soon as I saw that copy of the will I understood every thing—the pretty plot to get me to sign it all away and marry Jim Asson. I never could understand why Colonel Lutman was so des perately anxious for the marriage to come off, but I understood then. 1 suppose he was to have a share in the spoils?” “Yes. And so was I, Jacqueline." She took no notice of that con fession. “And that’s why,” she continued, “when I turned Jim Asson down, the Colonel so suddenly fell in love with me. He did, you know, Charles. He even asked me to marry him.” “Lutman’s a swine," said the lawyer tersely. , “He doesn’t make iOve very nice ly, if that’s what you mean. He . s .” She made a quick ges ture. “And then I telephoned to you, Charles. You asked me to call at your flat, and on my way somebody put me out—with chloro form or something—and when I woke up I was on a barge on the river with some people called Jop lin.” Charles nodded. - “You don’t seem a bit surprised. Charles.” “I’m not.” “I couldn’t at first understand why Colonel Lutman had done it,” she went on. “Kidnaping is a pretty risky game, and it struck me that to make it worth while he must have something really big In view. And then I suddenly realized. 2 remembered what the will said— that if I wasn’t alive the money was to go to my mother. If I wasn’t alive, Charles—that’s the point. I thought I saw Lutman’s game. I wouldn’t marry Jim, and I wouldn’t marry Lutman, and his only chance of laying hands on the money was to get rid of me and marry mother. I was certain that was what he had in mind.” “I was afraid it was.” "And so it was, Charles. I got away from the barge—jumped for it and swam. There was a dread ful current and I thought I was done for; and then Lutman came along in his boat and I clung on and tried to get on board. But rwhen he saw who it was he kicked my hands off the side and started up the engine and went off.” “Jacqueline! The swine! My iGod! If I ever get my hands on 'Lutman’s throat . . .’* “Don’t get excited, Charles. The police found me floating about and fished me out. As soon as they’d let me go from the hospital I dashed home. Lutman was there. He had just asked mother to marry him and she had promised to do so.” “You mean that your mother has actually promised ?” ! “She would, Charles. Lutman had offered to make her an allow |ance of $5,000 a year of her own, and mother would promise janything to anybody to get that poor darling! I tried to tell her a !few things about Lutman, but she wouldn’t listen, and it all ended up by her ordering me out and for j bidding me ever to go back. And I here I am. That’s the whole story as I’ve pieced it together, Charles. Is it all correct?” 1 “No, Jacqueline. Nearly, but not quite.” “What’s wrong with it?” employes have worked 23.555,315 man hours since January 1, without a lost time accident, the records of the In dustrial Commission show, while 63 mills have operated for 16 weeks with out a singe lost-time accident. talesoThlror TOLD INSURGENTS Women and Children Seek Shelter as Insurgents Sweet Toward Bilboa Amorgbieta, On the Bilboa Front, May 19 (AP>—-From 500 women and children left by retreating Basque and Assuran troops, were gleaned tales of terror that climaxed a stub born defense of Amorgbieta against General Mola’s insurgents. The refugees, who fled to Mola’s in surgent lines in search of food and shelter, baffled the war madness that gripped the once peaceful town of 5.000 as the Basque forces made their last stand. The women and children said the soldiers took all of the civi lian men of Amorgbieta in their re treat to Bilboa. last line of defense. Bilboa is only nine miles away. There refugees said militiamen splashed gasoline on the better houses and grenade,'. “Some families were trapped in the burning houses” a woman said. Library Game To Be Played Here At The Perry Library Boys and girls of the first through the seventh grades in the city and county will begin to play the Library Game next Tuesday morning at ten o’clock at the H. Leslie Perry Memo rial Library.’ The board on which the players will play is drawn in the plan of the children’s room of the library. The library'desk is the home base. Each time that a player reads a book “For one thing, Lutman fUdn’t kidnap you.” “If you’re suggesting that I’ve imagined it all . . .” “I’m not. I’m just saying that when you blame Lutman for the kidnaping you’re wrong; he didn't do it. I know —because I did It myself.” “You!” gasped Jacqueline. “At least I was responsible for it,” continued the lawyer. “Captain Allwright actually did the job for me. He’s, very obliging about that sort of thing.” Jacqueline regarded him fixedly. "Charles, you’re lying.” “That’s why I told you on the telephone that I couldn’t see you until 8 o’clock in the evening, Jac queline. I wanted time to get hold of Allwright and fix it up.” The girt shook her head. “I don’t know why you’re doing it, Charles, but you’re lying. I know you’re lying, and I’ll tell you why I know. Whoever did the kid naping offered Joplin 500 pounds if he’d be kind enough to do me in and pitch what was left of me overboard, Joplin told me so him self." “In that case,” smiled Charles, “Joplin exceeded his duty. I sup pose you were proving a bit of a handful, and he wanted to scare you Into behaving yourself prop erly. AH I offered him was five pounds a week to take care of you. Listen, Jacqueline. I’m telling you the truth now. I did kidnap you. I couldn’t think of any other means of making sure that Lutman wouldn’t find you. I knew what was in his mind. He hadn’t actual ly said as much, but he had let me see that if he couldn’t get you to marry Jim Asson and couldn’t marry you himself, he meant to get the mor: y In the only other way open t< him—by getting rid of you and marrying your mother. I knew he was capable of doing it. They’ve never been able to get the evidence to arrest him, but I hap pen to know that the police believe he’s guilty of two murders which have never been solved, and I didn’t dare risk it. The only safe way was to hold you somewhere and keep you there until things had sorted themselves out. As a mat ter of fact, I went to the barge this evening and was scared out of my life when Joplin told me you’d disappeared. I was afraid Lutman had somehow managed to get you.” “He did his best, Charles. And when I couldn’t be found, didn’t he suspect?” “I didn’t give him the chance,” smiled Charles. “I went for him before he had a chance to go for me. I accused him of having kid naped you, and demanded to know where you were; I threatened to go to the police if he didn’t tell me. He swallowed it all and had no idea that I knew where you were and was responsible for putting you there. He tried to give me the im pression that he had hidden you away somewhere himself so that I shouldn’t get at you and—tell you things. Now do you believe me?” “All right, Charles; I believe you. But the next time you think of boarding me out you might find someone a bit more attractive than the Joplins. And now what? There’s mother, Charles. We must do something. She has promised to marry Lutman.” “There’s nothing to be done to night, anyway,” said Stuckey. “She can’t marry Lutman until tomor row, and she’s not likely to marry him at all. Lutman will see to that. Your refusing to sink and turning up again will upset his HENDERSON. (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1937 his marker on the hoard will be mov ed along a space. In order to win the game each player must read fourteen books, that is, move fourteen spaces around the Library Game board. He will read not only story books, but also a life of an interesting person, a book of travel, a hook of poetry or plays, and others. Each person who plays will have his name written on a marker which will he on the board. In this way he may see his progress in the game. Each school will have dif ferent colored markers. No prizes will be awarded, for everyone may win the game. In the fall, letters will be written .to teachers of the winners telling of their achievement. The winners will also receive seals on their library cards which the winner is a full-fledged member of the library. Much interest has been shown in the Library Game. The plan is a new one, never have been tried at the lib rary. All who want to play are re minded to remember the date on which the game begins. STOCKS REST WITH LITTLE LOSS SHOWN New York, May 19.—(AP)— The stock market rested on its oars today and drifted downstream, propelled by mild offerings. Losses of fractions of a point were suffered by numerous leaders, but oils, coppers and a few rails were resis tant. Bonds were steady. Transactions totaled about 750,000 shares.

Yes, Charles Stuckey speaking.” tie (flapped a hand over the mouthpiece and glanced across at Japqueline. "Lutman,” he said, and uncov ered the mouthpiece. “Yes, I shall be here all night. AD right, but not for an hour, Lutman. I’m working on ss case. Very well—l 2 o’clock. I shall be finished by then. Goodby.” He replaced the receiver. "He’s coming to see me—at 12 o’clock. That's because of you, Jacqueline. He has realized that the game’s up as far as marrying your mother is concerned, and he’s coming along with some fresh scheme. “In that catet I’d better clear out.” "You can’t,” interrupted Charles. “You can’t go home, and you’re not fit to go anywhere. You’re all in. The best thing you can do is to stay here.” “But if Lutman’s coming here . . “There’s a room upstairs,” said Charles. “There’s a bed of sorts. I sometimes sleep there when I’m late at the office. It’s a bit rough and ready, but you can get some rest, and I shall want you here in the morning. We shall have to get hold of your mother and break the news to her, and you’d better be here. I’ll show you, shall I?” He led the way up the winding stair case and into the room. “It’s not much of a place,” he began. “There’s a thing that looks some thing like a bed, Charles,” smiled the girl, “and in 10 seconds I shall be asleep. Good night, Charles.” “Listen, Jacquelin e,” said Stuckey, “shall you be nervous if I go out for a bit? I want to see Allwright. His boat is berthed close by and I shan’t be gone for mere than half an hour. I’ll lock the office door and you’ll be per fectly safe.” “Righto, Charles.” “I’ll give a knock on the door to let you know when I’m back.” ; She nodded. “But I probably shan’t hear you.” Accordingly, Charles, when he returned from his visit to Captain Allwright, tiptoed up the stairs and gave 1 the softest tap on Jacque line’s door—a tap so soft that it could not have wakened even the lightest sleeper. Yet instantly came her voice. “That you, Charles?” “All O. K. t Jacqueline?” “Quite, thanks. Open the door, please, Charles; it isn’t locked.” Charles opened the door and stood in the doorway. * “Yes, Jacqueline?” “There’s something I want to ask you.” “Well?” There was a pause. Then: “You did know, Charles, didn’t you ? About Lutman’s pretty little plot, I mean.” Charles was suddenly very grate ful for the darkness. “Yes, Jacqueline, I knew all about it.” "And you were in it, too?” “Yes.” “Just how far, Charles?” “Right up to my neck.” Again there was a silence before the girl asked: "Why?” (To Be Continued) T? . fayJlCf {UNITED STATESSENATOR 1- *,-*-.* * * *-i As Federal reports and studies dealing with national affairs during the last few years are given to the Congress as a basis for considering new government programs and po licies, ample evidence is found that North Carolina has an underlying stability equaled by only a compara tively small number of states. Support of this statement is availble in vol umes of Federal statistics and data regarding the State’s industry, com merce and agriculture. They tell a graphic story of how well North Car olina weathered the storms of the de pression and how well the State is prepared to move forward during the fairer economic weather ahead. One reason the State enjoys such a favorable position is because of the diversity of its agriculture and indus try. Farmers are not forced to depend on a single commodity nor industrial workers on a single branch of indus try. And along the seaboard, in the Piedmont region and in the mountains are found many indications that the economic stability in North Carolina is Tyell-founded. Naturlally, the fine standing of the State, reflected in the reports and studies sent to Congress, is a source of much gratification to the members of the delegation in Congress. It should also bring pride to all citizens, particularly at this commencement season for schools and colleges, when so many of our younger generation prepare to face the problems of life, economic and social. On numerous occasions, my col leagues in Congress who have visited North Carolina or passed through the Slate en route to and from other des tinations, have been loud in their IS S 7vW -1 *B r - vi» i, w "1 ~ IHr 111 || Ip IvJI 11 821 SE Ja lebJi ■I ■ 118 *J H I jjj pH ■I | I I H HBHHHMBBUisiI Do you know the joys of modern electric cookery?

They have referred to the skyline of smoke belching from fac tory chimneys and the hum of busy machinery. They have referred to the well-painted and well-kept homes that line the highways. They have referred to the busy communities reflecting the active life of North Carolinians— all indicating that people are noticing the way in which our State is quietly going about the solving its problems to the advantage of all citizens. Hardly a day passes in Washing ton that some member of Congress does not pass along to North Carolina colleagues a favorable reaction to some activity within the State. As those who have their eyes on North Carolina come from every far-flung section of the United States, here is indeed evidence that the people thro ughout the country are favorably at tracted to the State. It has been said on many occasions that a steady flow of visitors to the State means new revenue for our peo ple without undermining our soil, de nuding our forests, depleting our mines or interfering with basic means of income. It is gratifying to know that the State is preparing to launch an aggressive program to increase the flow of visitors, many of whom will remain as residents. Many sections of the State have been developed by the capital of the people who visited the State, became attracted by its possi bilities, and have become North Caro linians in spirit and in deed. These observations lead to one im portant conclusion. It is that North Carolinians should find in the interest of others refreshing evidence of what their State offers. Students should have full knowledge of the opportuni ties to be found. Tours of the State for and by North Carolinians should be encouraged. The fisherman at Nag’s Head should know the woods men in the mountains and vice versa. In this way a greater degree of State pride and civic consciousness will be developed and the high standing of North Carolina among the states will draw even more favorable attention. Utilities to Aid In Beautification (Continued from Page One.) utility companies was reached at a meeting here Tuesday of the North Carolina Utilities Coordinating Com mittee, composed of representatives of the power, telegraph, telephone and municipal electric companies, of the NCREA, the State and National For- j est Service and of the N. C. League | of Municipalties. This committee was j formed some time ago work out and adjust problems arising from the ex tensive rural electrification program in the State as they affected the dif ferent utility companies. Some six or eight weeks ago Chair man Dudley Bagley, of the State Elec trification Authority, received a letter from Capus M. Waynick, then chair man of the State Highway Commis sion, asking if some plan could not be worked out between the highway de partment, the electrification authority the power companies and the county cooperatives, with a view to trying to preserve the beauty of the trees and the roadsides. Waynick pointed out that in too many cases beautiful trees were being mercilessly slaughtered by line construction crews, that appar ently no thought was being given by power companies, municipally-owned companies or cooperatives to preserv ing the beauty of the highways and of the trees. Chairman Bagley immediately held several conferences with Chairman Waynick, also with Frank H. Brandt, landscape engineer for the highway commission and with J. M. Grainger, engineer for the electrification au thority, in an effort to evolve a work able plan to suggest to the utilities commitee. At. first the representatives of the utilities companies were decidedly cold towards the entire matter and showed very little interest. But re cently the committee started taking an interest in the beautification idea and at the meeting here Tuesday ap pointed a committee on roadside beau tification to cooperate with the state electrification authority and he high way commission and to workout a series of suggested plans.
