LEAKSYILLR. NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY.'APRIL 18, 1924 PRICE: TWO CENTS DAILY GAZETTE - TB ' "" '’—7 LT"—" *• "1"—— - State Democrats Battle Through Four Roll Call On Policy And Delegates Raleigh, April 18.—Struggling thru four roll call*, the Democrats State convention yeiterday exercised the formal functions left to it in a day of primary nomination*, overwhelm ingly dedicated itself to a policy of equal representation for women in party councils, and moved quickly from the realm of possible endorse ments whon Josephus Daniels, thru friend* who asked that he seek the Presidential nomination in an active campaign announced that he could hot become a candidate. The Daniel* announcement came in the early stages of the convention and immediately allayed any possible friction in the convention over the fact t^iat an endorsement sought by friends of Mr. Daniels whi was not in the primary might be injurious to the fortunes of candidates who had formally filed or might file. It was presented to the convention by R. A. Doughton, member of the committee of the Raleigh Daniels-for President Club to which the letter was addressed from St. Louis straight upon the heels of a resolution by Wal. ter Hanes 0f Buncombe, which asked the convention to reaffirm its allegi ence to the primary, as the accepteo method of expressing the party's will The resolution was overwhelmingly tabled. Expressing the ambition that North Carolina in 1924 as in 1912 shall take a leading part in the nomination of a President, Mr. Daniels declared himself desirous of lending any help within his coveted,” confidence iple of the filled that office in more than half a century, my conception of its great ness is such that I have never dared consider myself in connection with it With the sincerest appreciation I bey therefore to say to you and other friends that I do not fee1' that I can accede to your request to become a candidate for that great office.” The announcement from Mr. Dan iels followed an ovation given him when W. N. Everett, keynote speakei held up his record as Secretary of the Navy as a matter of supreme State pride. It was thereafter a foregone conclusion that he would be named one of the delegates at large to the National Convention.

Several drastic measures enacted for 1924 by the National Intercollegiate Rules Committee wil have a materia effect on the game, it is thought, un less coaches comply wjth the spirit as well as the letter of the law. The compete abolition of the kick, ing tee is expected to revolutionize the game to such an extent that coaches will lay more stress on the running and passing game, and confine the kicking ar( to the necessary punt and the occasional drop kick. The legislation against “passive in terference” on the screen pass has been cleared somewhat, but it is still hazy, and violations will have to be decidedly open before any official will call them, observers believe. “The solons in charge of the rules have apparently had the spectators in mind more .than the participants in endeavoring to diversify the fame,” said one prominent authority. “Coacheg who have spent years in developing a kicking offense, lnd their years of labor discarded by the abol ition of the artivcial kicking tee, and must now either develop these hoot ers into drop kjckers or drop their kicking offense and revamp their at tack. The shifting of position for the try fort point after touchdown from the hq three yard line may rev tiffs play, especially so with Mss tabooed. Unless more i aj runs, are made from th:s ed Jikely that the 1926 rules will contain a provision whereby a run or a pass from this play will net the attacking team two points and a kick one point.

Not since their marriage' had she secured a good night’s rest. She had reached the point where she did not feel she could endure it any longer. i The minister laughed. “It is psycho. ; logical,” he said, “and a matter of nerves. 1 he first time you heard yout j ^husband snore, it rasped your sensi-; jollities. i.earing your loved one make, that racl.et was not compatable with romance. Instead of growing used to j it, you l.ave grown more and more opposed to it. “I can talk to you understanding!} because 1 have been through the same ' thing. Aima snores.” Alma was hif>' wife. “It seems IneUngiUotra ‘thatmy beautiful Alma should snore, but she does,—vigorously and reverberating ly. For years, I thought I should gr. crazy, because I have nerves myself. “Then Alma stopped snoring; fo. ' our Uttle girl was taken desperately ill. Day nnd night Alma watched over -her with, ut a wink of sleep until the crisis w. ; passed; and then Alma could no sleep. Her overwrought nerves w mid not relax, they onl> grew th> more tense. Night after night sh - lay alongside of me with her bright eyes staring into the dark ness. wh le I cauhtt fitfull snatches of raise able unconsciousness. The doctor s& d that if Alma did not alee;, she woul i die. “That night, as I lay in the still hours wi h a prayer on my lips, I was startled by a sound. At first I could net believe I had heard aright. With te: rs of thankfulness trickling down my face, I turned over and drifted into delicious, peaceful slum-! ber. Sinre then to hear Alma snore | makes t e sleepy. She can snore me j to sleep any time. It soothes me as1 the crooning of a mother does a babe. After all, it’s all in the way one looks at it.” The visitor arose and gathered up her wra)-1. “I’m going home,” she de clared, “and learn to love to hear John snere.” JAMAICA HEEDS COMPLAINTS MADE LY TRANSIENT VISITORS ftty Associatsd Prau) Klngst an, Jamaica April II.—Jam* ale* ha* decided to kptnd $1,000,000 top a da -1 |a augment tht to*tor ktip ply .ot Kingaten, Visiters to *hs 0 land haw oemplalned about the-ap pa: ranee of Kingston and tn# autho# have decidsd not only to aatand the pwt<ii supply, but have oenclud ed arrays amenta for tha ra.maklnr of he streets and bettering the sam taw system at a further cost of |2, OOf.OOp. • ■■ ■ 1 ■' 1 '■ 1 % G1 rman BALLOPN EXPERJ |§ pE^p (By Associated Press) Berlin, April 18.—Major General I Hr ns Greia, under whose direction the first experiments were, made in | Qc-many with dirigible balloons in 1PC6 died recently in Berlin at the age of 64.

RADIO Qt OTATIONS PLACE FAR". ,RS ON PARITY WITH OITIEh (By Asso. aired Press.) Chicago. April 18.- -Nowhere is the importance of the radio as a con necting link between the great cities and the rural homesteads so effective ly demonstrated as in the vast reaches of the American continent. The American radio-equipped far mer today is in virtually constan* communication with the centers o’ trade through the hundreds of power ful broadcasting stations which dot the map to the four borders. The si. cial and economic influences of th» citi which formerly were almb 1 im •• rcpfibly slow in affecting ill ■ rur 1 ’if -, naw spread with a rapidity •Arch challenge the imaginations of ■use who have not seen for them The farmer who a few years a waited as long as 24 hours for r - porton the princinal en-wmodPy mar';ets, is probably in closer to ’’’ with price trends today than most of the city folks equally interested in trr.de. His new position is due to tha tremendous development of the "a dio The Chicago Board of Trade. V< largest grain market in the world.

The broadcasting of the Board • t'iWro'T ^ :~f quo* 'ir.is to the farmer minister, » aher't of thoir receipt by. the less p o gres'ive village elevator operator who still is dependant the telegraph for his reports. WDAP is owned outright by the v Bca’d of Trade, and when not in use for market reports and business news is busy throwing entertaining pro. grams to the wind. Prices on al principal comm'-dit'-" such as wheat, corn, oat:;. rye tr’ • ribs lard, lard, pork, etc., are broad cast at intervals of five and ten min utes during trading hours. At the close 1:15 p. m. the closing range, and the open-high-low table is read for all commodities. The service is instantaneous *o thos. tuned in to WDAP at the close. A private telephone wire from the price clerks quartered directly over the trading pits carries the quotations to tlie broadcasting studio synchron ously with their transmission over the wire ticker system. The broadcasting crier reads the reports into the micro, phone directly from the headset. The station is a 500-watt type and brordcasts on a 360 metre wave length. The day time range seems un limited. A New Zealand radio fan re cently reported having caught the quotations, and a short tinm la*-« before a letter from a merchantman sailor in the intercoastal trade told «' his hearing the program first on th’ east eoa3t, just south of New Yo^k. later as he rounded Cape Horn as 'ha extreme south end of the hemisph-n and again as he neaerd Lot AntfeD*. on the Pacific iwbs&rd. i.OCKOt't Of UNION LABOR If* STARfED IN BALTIM6AR Baltimore, Md., April 18 —A lo*.k. out of union labor affiliated with ths allied building) trades council be>.«N , today on buildings being erected bj 'members! of the Master Builders a.vr ciaticn.
