Fed eral and state officials, university professors, engineers, industrialists and civic leaders are cooperating with the eye sight conservation council of America to remedy conditions of vis ion in classroom and factory. Defective vision among school chil dren and workers in the industries has, ( surveys in numerous towns and cities reveal, caused enormous economic and physical losses, which, authorities de clare, can be 'eliminated. Sescetary Davis is i ndeep sympathy with the movement, particularly with regard to children. 'I am convinced," he said recently, ''that mankind owes no higher duty to society and to God than service to childhood, and that whatever we may be able to do to aid the citizens of the future will earn a great reward." Every teacher in the country, ac cording to the Council, is a potential crufader for better vision. Teachers everywhere are being given instruc tions for testing visual acuity. Success of the movement, according to its spon sors, will mean a definite physical advance in future generations of Americans. t SUPPLY YOUR OWN MORAL "Chicago-.rsamcs ittr principal streets after Presidents.

Thousands of people in this section regret the fact. but nevertheless it must be related. It was expected that this would be the biggest trade day before the last of next week and early indications bore out the itexpectation, but the ram undoubtedly kept many people at home. Those who came out were many, but the big rush was lacking. Large crowds thronged the stores iast night and the windows were love ly. The biggest rush will come next week, and to meet it merchants have increased their sales forces. The in- tluenza condition has shown a mat erial improvement and everv day u reported better in Hickory. The long drouth, followed by too much rain, made conditions generally unfavorable or shopping, and persons with severe colds tried to remain indoors. The good weather promised now is ex pected to bring out the crowds m great numbers Persons who have thought we had j too much rain in this section were I not interested directly in hydro-clec-' trie plants, on tbe rivers and, sma.!er.j streams in this section. Many mills have been forced to shut down for lack of power, the Southern Power Company even cutting off its .cus tomers occasionally. The small hydro electric plants did well to operate half-time for the past few weeks, but reports today from several places indicated that the lakes were filling from the surplus water. It is believea that the water shortage is over for this season. The water shortage, by cutting wages, has had an effect On trade.

Th hoarse shout of "signals" boomea across the. chalk-lined field at the University of North Carolina's stamp ing ground here today when two pow erful, undefeated football elevens Asheville from the West and New Bern form the East met to decide the state high school championship. A full week late, the game promised to be one of the greatest that high school football followers ever have witnessed. Asheville, flushed with ex pectancy of ultimate triumph, show- led confidence in every move. New Bern, equally as strong and no 'less sure of victory, rolled its heavy-milling scor ing machine to the fray, huskies all. red of cheek, powerful of build and fleet of foot. . The western aggregation, well prim ed with plenty of practice, came on the field with an enviable season's record behind it. Asheville has met ten schools since, the first kickoff of the year. Only three of these were in the cham pionship matches. A total of 198 points was piled up by . the mountaineeds in these games against 20 for their op - ponents. The team has met stiff opposition all through, but has won most of its games by decissive scores. Asheville has play ed .twro tie games one with Knox ville, Tennessee champions, which re sulted in a 0-0 score, and one with Bingham, which ended 6-6. . . In the three state high school sham pionship battles, Asheville rolled over Salisbury 47 to 0, clawed 13 points out of Charlotte, while the latter went scoreless, and won the right to repre sent the West in the finals .by taking Monroe's measure 20 to 7. On the other side of the field, the flashing New Bern outfit laid claim to as many, or more, laurels. New Bern came down the season's grind with a total of 183 points against 6 for her opponents. This lone 6 was scored by Washington, the only team to cross New Bern's goal line. Those that fell before this powerful eleven. included the choice teams oi tne t,asi, tern section foremost among which were Washington, Kinston, Wilming ton, Rocky Mount and Sanford. Every team that New Bern played was a championship contender. Rocky Mount was the first to fall before the New 'Bernians, ..27, to 0. New Bern scored 24 points against Washington's 0- 10 against Kinston: 39 against Goldsboro. 24 against Washington, ! which scored 6 this time; A atrainsi Wilmington; 31 against Rocky Mount, and G against Sanford, the hardest fought a'ame of the season. ' New Bern swung into practice early this week after six of her first string men were relieved of guard duty at the fire area. These boys had been serv ing in the 117 Field Artillery battalion of the North Carolina National Guard. VIENNA READY TO CREMATE ITS DEAD Bv the Associated Press. Vienna, Nov. 26. On the spot where tradition says, stood Suliman's tent when his Turkish legions beseiged Vi enna in 168?, the first crematory in the territory of the old empire is short ly to he opened. , With the establishment of the re public the prohibition against crema tion disappeared, and the city now has erected an exceedingly graceful little biiiidW to be devoted to this method of disposing of the dead. It stands in a part surrounded by an ancient, tow ered and battlemented wall, on a hill to the southeast of the Vienna. The wall once surrounded the grounds of a hunting castle built by the then em peror as a memorial to the defeat of the Turks.

Kilgore,, director of extension of the department of agri culture and State College, following a conference with ib. K. Hudson, m charere of countv farm agents. He said Hall would be asked to make a report to the department. . Dr. Kilgore said all that he or Mr. Hudson knew of the reported whipping was that they had read in the press.

Washington, Dec. 16. The proceed ings began in Massachusetts challeng ing the reelection to the senate of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Republi can leader, today were brought to the senate apparently to be pressed at the convening of the new congress. A "protest and . challenge" against the election of-Senator Lodge was re ceived by Vice-President Coolidge from Conrad W. Crooker, attorney for John A. Nieholls, defeated prohibition can didate, and also as the representative of liberal Republican league of Massachusetts. "Flagrant irregularities" in the No vember 7 senatorial elections were charged in Mr. Crooker's petition .which declared Senator Lodge was a iiniiuxiiy winner ana naa oeen re pudiated." Mr. Crooker asked an im mediate hearing. The papers are to be referred to the senate privileges and elections com mittee. It is not customary for the committee of the senate to take ac tion on election contests until the con vening of the new congress which they affect and senate leaders predicted to day that despite the requesffor imme mediate action, the proceedings will not-be heard until the next congress meets. Reports that Vice-President Cool idge might make a preliminary refer ence of the petition to Senators Lodge and Walsh led Mr. Crooker to send the- vice-president another petition 3gJ?.t,. any - -SttviC move.:. Ha- said the propriety of referring the matter to Senator Lodge was obvious. Mr. Crooker's statement said that the liberal Republican league repre sented more than 100,000 Massachu setts Republicans. He added that his protest against , the validity of Mr. Lodge's reelection was. justified by abundant evidence and also by "the overwhelming, determination of Massa chusetts public sentiment at the polls in the" recent election." "Massachusetts , has repudiated Lodge and all the reactionary senti ment that he represents," the petition asserted. The total vote for senator was 867,- 177, it was declared, and Senator Lodge received on the face of returns 414,130, and was thus a "minority candidate." It Was added that no two tabulations of the vbate agreed. URUGUAY WOULD DIVIDE LARGE PRIVATE ESTATES Montevideo, Nov. 10. With the ob ject of forcing the s;ub-division of the immense landed estates in Uruguay, and at the same time to promote agri culture and stock breeding, the Mini-s- ter. ot Industries, Dr. Luis Caviglia. has1 drafted a bill to apply; a special sliding scale land tax upon all estates of more than 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres). The scale slides upward per thousand hestares, but exemption of the half or the whole of the tax is offered if the proprietors comply with certain conditions" to make the land productive.' ' The measure is of special interest to - ail the countries sot the Kiver Plate in which enormous landed estates, largely idle ' and tenaciously held bv their wealthy proprietors, are common, and thus far legislators have not been successful m finding con stitutional methods of breaking them up orf disposal to settlers and small farmers and preventing their forma tion in the future. ' The conditions for exemntion tiro- posed to agriculture, dairying or stock breeding. They fix the stadards of the stock in the case of stock breed ing, and specify what equipment shall be necessary. The bill will be considered by the National Council '" of " Administration before being presented to congress. SERBIAN FAMILY QUARREL ' r HAPPILY COMPOSED Belgrade, Nov. 25.
