TODAY and f TOMORROW?^ 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 ing- I ? ? * 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. ? * * DRINKING ... And Drivlna In the preprohibition days men who drank whiskey limited the size of their drinks. The tendency today l3 toward bigger "slugs'1, and that results in speedier int?*l?aJf * jrinking men love to boast ^at they can carry their liquor, but Dr. Rollo N. Harger of Indiana University, who invented the chemical test for intoxi cation now widely used, says that most drinkers,don't know when they aie drunk, , A man may *?m sober in speech. actions and appearance, and still be too intoxicated to drive a car safely. Three ounces of whiskey, whic about three modem-ityle J* sufficient to fog the train *nd make it unsafe to drive a car. At the National Safety Conference it was the general agreement that liquor causes up to twenty percent of fatal automobile accidents. The only safe rule is never to drive after Toru Tv ?'} ? i BitOWN IS MACE CADET SERGEANT t' ~"" k Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 10.?Figur u | prominently among University of .

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." Baptist Services Sunday school as usual at 9:45 next Sunday morning at the Sylva Baptist church. "Let's have a large crowd present. We are pleased with our record for Octobcr. Let's make No vember even better", says Mr. Vinson Hall, the superintendent. B.T.U. will meet at 6:30. and at 7:30 Bev.

(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.

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 capnai gams tax, by tne recent acute uusiness depression, signalized by a violent urop in security prices on the sioc-K markets.
