nancial situation as it affects the sale
of the state bonds and the prospect
of getting much of the material with
in the State.
It became known tonight that the
Governor and members of the com
mission will go to New . York in the
iext few days for the purpose of
floating a loan in anticipation of the
bonds. This course, it is understood
tonight, has full approval of the com
mission, plus the willingness of the
big .bankers on the commission fca do
a little floating of their own in case
they fail to get the money in the big
market.
Officials of the commission reitera
ed today the impossibility of hearing
delegations in behalf of particular
projects at this time or until the pol
icy of the commission is definitely es
tablished. They are working day
and night in the hope that 60 days
will see actual construction of State
roads under way.
more tnan ior tne last yearc - ine
statistics were announced by the
state borad of health today.
The majority of the deaths from
burns were children, resulting from!
the accidental catching fire of their
clothing either-from open fires or
playing, with matches. In the list
of those dying in conflagrations are
also children who had been left in
houses that caught on fire and who
could not escape.
During the past two years the re
cords show one death, by suicide by
burning, one of the few deaths from
this cause ever recorded in the state.
The death rate for nearly .every
disease is being steadily reduced, ac
cording to the statistics of the board
of health, but the accident hazard,
as the figures for deaths by burning
show, remains practically unchang
ed.
Commission to Meet Again April 26.
Raleigh, April 6. April 26 was
set this evening for. the next meeting
of the state highway commission,
which adjourned for the week and
went home. A blanket resolution
empowering counties to proceed with
work and specific approval of a few
small projects made up the day's
work. No delegations. were received
at this meeting.

Ti e five special objects in view

ception of the. place of Christian ed
ucation in the life of the church, the
nation and the world; to promote the

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Col. Walker Taylor says:
"We should feel our personal re
sponsibility towards our fellowmen
and neighbors more keenly now than
ever before, and should use . every
agency at our command to conserve
that which has been built by our
fathers and ourselves to the highest
extent. .
"Most people act as though they
felt that their own personal habits
and the condition of their own prem
ises concerned no one but them
selves. . This short-sighted, self
limited view of personal responsibili
ty has been getting the world into
trouble for many thousands of years,
and will continue to get the world
into trouble until the people gain a
new and truer viewpoint. What a
man needs today is a recognition of
his moral responsibility to his neigh
bor. "Fire in its service to humanity
stands for much that is good.. Fire J
in its destructive capacity is a sym
bol of evil. It is self -propagating
and spreads with startling swiftness I
whenever it finds fuel. It destroys
that which it touches. It seizes upon
beuty and leaves ugliness behind it.
In all of these respects fire typifies
the spread of evil throughout the
world."
