AUTORA ILER . . Come-Bi^n
When railroads began to be bull *J
a little more than a century ago, t^p*
building of public highways stopped.
The idea was that railroads would be
for the use of anybody who wanted
to run vehicles on them, so Federal
and state governments gave them
subsidies in land and cash. In prac
tice it was found that a railroad
couldn't be used as a public highway,
and road building was resumed.
Now paved roads and the auto
mobile have caused the practical
abandonment of manay short branch
railroads, but an ingenious Canadian
inventor has made a vehicle called an
"autorailer" which runs on rails or
highways with equal ease. The auto
railer is being tried out in regular
service over a 90-mile strentch in
New Brunswick, on the first railroad
ever built in Canada.
There are lots of branch rail lines
where a vehicle which could run on
highways to pick up passengers or
freight, then on rails to carry them
to the next town, would be very use
ful. The autorailer is worth watch

GLASS . . . . . To Be Worn
For two or three years new fibers
of finely-spun glass have been woven
into fabrics for garments and drap
eries. It seems impossible but it is
true that glass can be made as tough
and elastic as cotton.
The latest thing in spun glass is
called "glass wool". It looks like
j cotton batting, but is much lighter,
and it is being used for heat insula
tion. It is so cheap that it can be
used economically tc spread over
gardens to protect plants and flowers
against frost. It comes in bales and
unrolls like carpet, but it is so light
that a child can easily pick up a
higgty than a barreL . > .
This new glass "mulch* Iro a tittle
light through, so that plants covered
with it are green when uncovered in
Spring. It does not harbor vermin
and it is practically indestructible.
That is only one of the marvels
of glass making which modern science
has developed. Several large build
ings with all-glass walls have been
built. Some day we may all live in
glass houses.

MACHINES .... Create Jobs
I have maintained for years that
machines do not decrease employ
ment but rather tend to create more
jobs. I have seen that come about
in the printing trades, with which I
am most familiar. Now the Machin
ery Institute, as the result of a care
ful study, comes to the same con
clusion. >?
population in American has in
creased 72 percent since 1899, but
factory employment is 83 percent
higher than it was then. The work
ing day is shorter, but the number of
man-hours is nearly a third larger.
This is due, the Institute reports, to
the vast increase in demand and pro
duction of all kinds of goods, made
possible only through machines
It is not always true, however, that
less labor is required per unit of fin
ished product. Machines not only in
crease production but also make im
provement in quality possible, and
in the automobile and some other in
dustries the demand for better quality
has actually resulted in the employ
ment of more workers for each unit
produced.

Western Carolina Catamounts
To Meet Lenoir-Rhvne at Cul
lowhee, Friday, November 19
Wstern Carolina's much improved
Catamounts will meet the strong
Lenoir-Rhyne college Bears Friday,
Nov. 19 on the college gridiron at
Ciillowhce. With the improvement
the Catamounts have shown in the
past three weeks they are expected
to give the Bears an exciting after
noon, and in the humble opinion of
Jthis writer even to be on the long end
of 'the sdfcre when the final whistle
blows.
Cullowhee played a much superior
and undefeated Boone team last Sat
urday on almost even terms, losing
only by the score of 14 to 0. In the
matter of first downs the Catamounts
also made a good showing, having
six first downs to Boone's ten.
The Catamounts have shown a re
markable ? mount of improvement in
the last few weeks having played
so: ?e of the top-notch teams of the
Slate and hove been able to come out
of every game with their share of the
laurals. Claude Henson, a Sylva boy
and a scnijr at W. C. T. C. has con
tributed a great deal to this improve
ment with his fine play at his tackle
position.
Lenoir-Rhyne has a much better
record than the Catamounts have,
Unemployed persons and partially
unemployed who fill out and send in
cards for the National Unemployment
Census, between November 16 and
20 need not fear fiat their names will
be published, or made public in any
! way.
This pledge is contained in the in
structions sent to all offices were the
census la feeing taken.
"The confidential nature of the an
swers to questions on the Unemploy
ment Report Card will be resptcted
by the Administrator of the National
Unemployment Census", the instruc
tions state.
The information given by unem
ployed or ether signers of the cards
will not be used to their disadvan
tage in any way, such as in tax ;nat
jters, questions ol citizenship, or re
. lief. The data on the cards is to be
used solely for the purpose of the
? census. Further, positive action was
| taken toe^ciude from the census any
supplementary enumeration or regis
tration which might be imposed on
the regular unemployment census by
those seeking to take advantage of
the government's undertaking for
their own purposes.
Instructions went to all local com
mittees in connection with the unem
t
ployment census, which read:
"It is quite possible that you will
i receive proposals for supplementary
enumeration or registration projects,
1 to precede or accompany the National
Unemployment Census, and designed
to provide special information for
your community. However, com
mendable such proposals may be in
themselves, we must urge you to dis
courage them, or to request their
postponement until after November
20.
"Their effects would be to detract
attention from the census and to con
fuse the public mind. The main ob
jective in this national enterprise is
to secure a complete, honest and ac
curate registration, and any compet
ing interest of the same general char
acter ^bulcf'detracr from this object.
It would also be to the ultimate dis
advantage of your community itself."

THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON
Washington, November 10. (Auto
caster)?The question which political
lookers-on are asking, on the eve of
the extra session of Congress, Is
vhether caiy really important legis
lation will be cnactcd or whether the
session will resolve itself into a gen
eral taik-fast, with the anti-lynch
ing bill and matters of foreign policy
nolding the floor to the exclusion of
the things for which the President
vailed the Congress together. Opinion
among experienced observers is about
equally divided, which is another way
:>f saying that considerable doubt
exists as to the present influence of
the President with Congress. It is
ctrtain that he can no longer obtain
the passage of new laws by having
diem written by his advisers and
/landing them to Congress with orders
Tor their enactment. The temper of
both houses now is to scrutinize every
proposal coming from the Adminis
tration with an eye to its practicabil
ity and necessity, as well as to its
political advantages. It no longer is
j-p.e that political wisdom on the part
of Congressmen consists in "going
along" w?th the President.
Story of the A.A.A.
As an illustration of the difference
between now and in 1933, compare
the trouble which the House Commit
tee on Agriculture is having in trying
to agree on a Crop Control bill, with
the way in which the first Crop Con
trol law was passed. The complete
program of the AA.A. was written in
the office of the Secretary of Agricul
ture and was handed to Congress in
May, 1933, with orders from the
White House for its immediate pas
sage. So sure was the Administra
tion that its orders would be obeyed
that even before the measure had
been sent to Capitol Hill an army of
workmen was engaged to build new
oilices in the Agriculture Department
building, to provide rooms for the
new officials who would be needed to
administer as drawn up by the Exe
cutive, was passed without a change,
aimost without being read.
Can't Aflroe on Crop Control
Now the President has asked for
a new Crop Control law as the first
item on tue legislative program for
which iie has called the special ses
sion of Congress. For three weeks
the Committee on Agriculture has
been holding meetings and listening
to appeals i: om Administration lead
ers, arguments irom farm represen
tatives anu reports from the farm dis
tricts bruugnt in by members re
taining to Washington alter con
lerriiig Wiln tneir constituents. Yet
nothing like an agreement has been
readied as to what iorm crop con
Liol snouid lake, even whether it is
necessary or desnauie. The major
ity oi tno commiuee is reported as
ucing GeiiiiUfciy opposed to any in
uexiuic anu compulsory plan, such
as nas been proposed by Secretary
ti aiiace. 'me result is tnat, as Con
gress meets, it is nowhere near ready

Krienalier Toward Business
In the matter oi tax revision the
outlook ior any definite acuon by
me special session seems almost
equally Uuuious. A great deal of
suengui nas been auded to the argu
ments ior repeal or amendment of
tne corpora Uon surplus tax and >...8

violent urop in security prices on

peued by tne Government s tax poli
cies nas long been contended by
uusuiess leauers, recently with re
newed tnipnasis. smuw tne truth of

to seek uiyesunenl ui new business

of a decided change of the Adminis
tration's attitude toward business. In

high officials seem inclined to 1st up
