SPEAKING OF HEADLIGHTS If the State Law requires a light on both ends of an Auto mobile and a person to dim his lights when meeting another, which is the greatest violation to allow tail lights to gounnotice ed or to allow head lights as bright as possible so that it's dangerous to get out on the high way after dark? The law requiring headlights to be dimed on approaching another car at night is a good one and should be ridgedly en forced. It is too late to require a man to dim his lights after some fellow has turned his car over and broken his own, or his wife's cr friend's neck all on ac count of some smart alec who is too stubborn either provide anti glare lens for his car or to turn on his dimmers when meeting another car. Some might say it would work a hardship on the Ford owners. All new Fords have dimmers on them and the old ones can get frosted glass for their lamps. Lets have our lights fixed so that the other fellow can 'get some1 pleasure cut of driving at nights. P. C. C. Weldon LIBERT? BOND COUPONS WILL SCON EE DUE Holders of Liberty Bonds from which all the coupons have been been clipped are requested to take the securities immediately to their banks here which will transmit them to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond j where they will be exchanged for bonds having coupons cover- j ing all interest payments for the j rest of the life of the bonds. j Word to this effect has been sent j out from Wellington." Moreover, whenever Liberty Bonds paying 4 per cent interest are sent in, new "bonds paying 4 1-4 per cent interest will be issued. In this federal reserve district many Liberty Bonds were bought which when issued carried only six interest coupons, these are known as "temporary" bonds. Their coupons have fallen due. The government now wishes to issue "permanent" bonds in their place. The additional one-fourth of one per cent interest rffered on the unconverted 4 per cent bonds is now being lost by the bond holders. The higher rate of in terest will be paid, from the next interest date, however, to ail owners of 4 per cent Liberty Bonds in this district, the Treasury Department has an nounced, who get the securities to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond for' conversion into 4 1-4 per ct-nt bonds.

The American Ked Cmss has launch ed upon a u:;tiun wide campaign of fighting disease and physical defect among the American people. A new and unique health institution has come into being ns the result of several months" study by the lied Cross Health Service Department at National Head quarters. Olacinls in charge of the department predict that before long this new health activity will be in actual operation ail over the country, and that 'the sign "American Ked Cross Health Cenler" will become as familiar to the peo ple everywhere as are now the signs of the telegraph companies. Eusy Long Before Var. The Interest of the American Ited Cross in the f'ght against disease Is not, however, of lucent origin. Long before the war the organization began this health service through Its medical units in disaster relief work anil Its department of Town and County Nurs ing. During the war and following the armistice thousands of American Ited Cross oliiciais have been lighting d:sca.-i! In the war-stricl en countries. A i li e same time lens of thousands of Ucal Uod Cross oiiicials have luen en gsigcd at home tigiiiiiig dis' as-. nota bly during the inlWi-nza epidemics. The Amen... m I id Cross lias tie-li-miim d that nil this valuable experi ence In health service abroad and a! home not go to wasle. So long as there are a half a million people d ii.g jenny in this ,'ou!i!ry from pre ventable causes, and so 1 ii;; as more tl mi one-third of iue American chil jliOti and young people are victims of physical deiVcls, the Ked Cross recog ni..es the urgent ni"d fur continued Ib-d Cross health service at hi. me. How Crc;ani'3tion Works. The Ked Cross Health Cooler It governed by business principles, ap plies business methods, an-l, in Its m. ire simple form, can be established at. d conduced by lay people. It proceeds upon the di monstrnled fact that health Is n "omiaodity thai (an he bought and sold like brooms and soap. Therefore, It establishes it self in a storeroom in the principal business section of Urn community, ll di-p' iys lis goods in the form of at tractive health exhibits in ils show windows. It advertises constantly and extensively. And it uses every busi ness and social device to attract cus tomers. The Ked Cross Health Center Is ot service to the sick in that it gives out reliable nnd complete Information about existing clinics, hospitals, sana toria and other insiitulions for the sick and the defective; about available nurses, both (rained and practical; about when to consult n physician nnd why to shun the quack and his nos trums. Teaching Distnse Prevention. The Ked Cross Health Center Is. however, of even great "r service to the well. It teaches people lar.y to pre vent sickness and disease. 'I I is is d -ue In many Interesting and attractive ways iirst of all, by the ilisi:;!-::!in of popular health literature and through heallh lectures Illtisl i-:. with lantern slides or with health colioe picture films. Then special ehib!ts arc given, one after the oilier, on virions health subjects. 1'ruetlcal demons! ni-f'ons-are made; also healili playlew by children to interest and instruct them selves nnd their eiders. Classes are organized in personal hygiene, home care of the sick, first aid and in foinl selection nnd preparation. Health clubs, both for younger and older peo pie, are formed; also Little Mothers' Leagues. Nutrition and growth clinics nre conducted for children. Already more than a hundred of these Ked Cross Health Centers are in actual operation throughout Ihe coun try. Many of them also conduct med ical clinics, but the one chief, nut standing feature of the American Ked Cross Health Center is ils health edu cation service which teaches well peo ple how to keep well. Evangelistic Services A series of meetings will start at the Tresbyterian church on Sunday morning, the pastor cf the church doing the preaching. Monday, or Tuesday at the latest, he will be joined by the Rev. F. E. FinAer, D. D., an assembly evangelist of the Pres byterian church in the U. S. Dr. Fincher had one of the most successful pastorates in the' church before he entered" this work. He is a man of deep spirituality rnd preaches simple gospel messages. His singer, Miss Harbeson, possesses an unusually lovely voice which she uses as a very definite gospel force. A choir director is also expected. All members of the community are invited to take part in these meetings. The pastor and the congregation will appreciate the help of those who sing in the formation of a choir. CORNER STONE LAYING SATURDAY AFTERNOON Dr. J. C. Brasweil, of Whit akers, Grand Master of the Grand Ixidge of North Carolina, assisted by the local Masonic lode, will lay the corner stone of the new liiph school building-to-morrow afternoon at 4:30.

Replies to questionaires sent out by the Association have come from all sections of the United States. These reports show that in places where the teachers' sal aries nave been increasad one hundred per cent or more the sit uation is nearly always satisfac tory. But such places are com paratively few, and in localities where salaries have been increas ed fifty per cent or less the teach er shortage is commonly greater than a year ago. Rural communi ties are hardest hit. Signed re ports from superintendents of many counties indicate thata third of their rural schools cannotopen for want of teachers. Ten thous ROSEMARY PERSONAL LOCAL ITEMS ands of schools "will be in charge of teachers who have had no pro fessional preparation and whose academic trainiug barely exceeds that of the children they teach. . Releif fruui tliib serious situa tion, which imperils the stability of American rural life, will be sought from the next session of Congress. Renewed efforts will be made to obtain the passage of the Smith-Towner Bill, which creates a department of educa tion with a secretary in the Pres ident's cabinet and provides fed eral aid of $100,000,000 for education. Object of the Truest Artist.
