Pershing will stand out in American history as unique in one respect. He was the first and only major military hero of a war not to •be elected President. George Washington, Andrew Jack son, Zachary Taylor, U. S. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt were all placed in the White House by their military records. True, Theodore Roosevelt was ele vated by the death of McKinley, but he would not have been placed in the fortuitious post of Vice President if he had not won fame at San Juan Hilt. During most of the nation’s history, a war record has heen a necessary What Do You Know About North Carolina? | By FUED H. MAY ■■ ’ t ’ ’ . 1 I ' " 1. How many persons from Calvin Coolidge’s state have changed their citizenship to North Carolina? 2. How does North Carolina rank with other states in the number of illicit distilleries seized? 3. How does the freshness of today’-.! news compare with that of 150 years ago? 4. When was a military order used to prevent the sale of a North Caro lina railroad? 5. How does North Carolina farm per capita income compare with that of California? 6. Why did the first State Treasurer resign? answers. 1. There are 331 persons born in Vermont now citizens of North Caro lina, according to latest census re ports. The same = reports • show that there are 81 North Carolina born per sons who have become citizens of Ver mont. 2. The latest comparative reports place North Carolina in the bracket of 50 to 100 stills for each 100,000 population. Only two states rank higher than North Carolina, these are Florida and Nevada. 3. In 1789 a news story from New England appeared in North Carolina papers only after it had been publish ed in France a.nd then reached North Carolina through the West Indies. An other item originated in Fayettevill ;, first went to a Richmond newspapei and then to Edenton where it was published 75 days after the event took place. At that time news from Lon don averaged 85 days old; New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore 23 days old; and Richmond 19 days old. 4. April 11, 1867 and December 31, 1867. The orders were to prevent the railroad from Morehead City to Golds boro from being sold to satisfy cre ditors. 5. From a basis of the total, farm population the average per capita in come for North Carolina is $167; while that of California is $1,246. California is the only state in the Union where the per capita farm income is greater than the non»farm income. 6. Memecum Hunt, of Granville, re signed in 1787 when it was discovered that he was implicated the redemption of fraudulent state due tills and cer tificates. He had been appointed the first state treasurer four years ear lier when a change had been made from district treasurers to a state treasurer. Austrian Jews Now j :|iJ Julius Stretcher .. .

There is, however, at least one instance of a draft evader becom ing President —Stephen Grover Cleve land, who was born 101 years ago to day at Caldwell, N. J. When Cleveland was 26 and a law yer in Buffalo, N. Y., he was con scripted for the Federal army in the War Between the States. He dodged the draft by hiring a sailor as a sub stitute. The sailor later deserted. However, when a more unpleasant task than soldiering confronted the draft-dodger seven years later, he did not flinch. As sheriff of Erie Coun ty, Cleveland personally released the trap and hanged Jack Gaffey and Patrick Morrissey, murderers. AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today—S. S. Alexand er Agassiz, former U. S. ship fitted out by Germans at Mazatlan, Mixico, as a commerce raider, was captured in the Pacific by a U. S. cruiser. Two titled Frenchmen and two wo men were arrested in New York as German spies. They were deported to France for trial and punishment. The AEF established a rest and leave .center at Tix-Les-Bains for men coming out of the first line. Behind the front lines there was growing up a vast American organiza tion, comparable to that of a colonial enterprise, including docks, railroads, warehouses, refrigerating plants, lum ber mills, dwellings, hospitals. There were now 100 miles of railway in France operated exclusively by Ame ricans for American use. In one -port, docks had been built by Americans at a cost of $3,000,000. For every every AEF man at the front, there were three behind the lines working to supply and support him.

Norris Falls Into 1 His Own TVA Trap (Continued trom Page One.) . guard against any member’s subse f quent presidential removal during his i. stated term of office. So capable was the senator’s job of draftsmanship that now, when he heartily desires the removal of TVA Chairman Arthur E. Morgan, the»e seems to be no way of removing hnr. He could resign, of course, but, a 1 latest accounts, he refuses to do sc while his health holds out. He doe: suffer from bronchitis, but bronchitis ravages arc too gradual to promise thr early capitulation of as stubborn ao officeholder as Chairman Morgan ap pears to be. Another Instance. The adrn:h:st"a f ion had frond luck in the case of the late William E. Humphrey, as a federal Trade con l missioner. 1 Humphrey also held one of thes , supposedly impregnable governmental positions. He was appointed to it by J President Coolidpo. As might hav. ■ been expected of a Coolidge appointed : he proved to be overly conservative | when the Roosevelt regime came in, 1 and he was asked to resign, i He refused. Thereupon the Presl ! dent removed him. He appealed to thr i judiciary, arguing that he couldn’t be j removed. Nevertheless, he was out in the meantime. In due course the United States Su preme Court ruled that Humphrey had I not been legally removed; was still a trade commissioner. ; By then, however, Humphrey was dead. His FTC seat was vacant any way. Congressional Probe. Now, in spite of President Roose velt’s efforts to settle the quarrel, there is to be a congressional inves 'igation after all, forced by Senate conservatives. But Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska,. “father of th3 TVA”, who had opposed a congres sional investigation, inserted a resolu tion to investigate also the activities if persons and interests opposing the ’ennessee Valley Authority. He says jtihty corporations have tried their p,-.t to destroy the TVA. Thus, if the 'orris clause remains, the investiga ion will be a hot two-way affair. . Honest Administration. It is a safe bet that there has been o internal crookedness in the TVA. There can be some reasonable stis icion of bad management. But crookedness, if any, strikes me rs having been attempted from the outside. I wculd not wonder if there had been some undertaken externally Anybody who talks at an investi gation inclines to make one wonder.

Grant the full amount of cotton price adjustment payments to farm ers whose crops had been damaged drouth, boll weevil in festation or fire. 2.

Other developments: Chairman Arthur Morgan again told President Roosevelt “to his face’’ it is not possible “to get to the truth” of the TV A controversy at the chiif executive’s personal inquiry. AAA officials expected a crop re port, due today, to give- them some degree the tobacco growers plan to cooperate with the new farm program this year, 'the report, scheduled so; release at 3 p. m.
