POU ASKS VOTERS
TO GET ON BOOKS
James H. Pou, Jr., chairman of
the Wake County Democratic Exe
cutive Committee, Saturday issued a
statement urging all Democratic vot
ers to be sure they are registered
for the primary on June 5. Regis
tration will close on Saturday, May
22.
Mr. Pou points out that those reg
istered in the general election in
1924 need not register again unless
they have changed their residence,
and emphasises the fact that regis
tration for no other election counts.
The statement of the chairman fol
lows:
“All Democratic voters who were
registered for the last general elec
tion, and who have not changed their
places of residence since that time,
are eligible to vote in the June pri
mary without again registering. The
precinct l nes are the same as they
were in 1924.
“Registration for the City of Ral
eigh election and Raleigh Township
Bond e'ections has caused consider
able misunderstanding in the minds
of the voters in Raleigh. Unless the
voters were registered for the 1924
general election, that is, when Gov
ernor McLean was elected, they are
not eligible to vote in the June -pri
mary; and they are not eligible if
they have moved their residence
since that time. They should not l
allow the registration for the city
elections and the various bond is- !
sues to confuse them.
“Voters living in the territory re
cently annexed to Raleigh Township
should register in the precinct to
which their territory was annexed.
“It is hoped that every Democratic
voter in Wake county will see that
he or she is properly registered. It
will only require a few minutes
time. In case of doubt, phone or
see your Register or Mr. Harvey
Correll, secretary of the Wake Coun
ty Board of Elections, Raleigh, N. C,
“The registration books clos e on
Saturday, May 22.”

BRINGING CITIES CLOSER.

MR. KINGSMORE’S CASE.
When Mussolini recently told the
world he would cut railroad time
between Naples and ltome five
hours by tunnelling five mountains,
it was suggested he/fe that rail
roads between Chicago and Cali
fornia might do the same to the
unnecessarily long running time L>j
tveen the Pacific and the Great
Lakes.
Now lo and behold, the railroads
have done it! The shorter running
time begins in October, and west
bound travelers will save one en
tire day in California for business
or sunshine.
Santa Fe, Union Padfie and
Southern Pacific, making thW tut*
in time simultaneously, art man
aged by able rap road men.
Cutting * tin* means bringing
cities closer, helping business,
making men’s lives longer. A
recent cut in time between Seattle
and all the Pacific Coast south set
a good example.
Soon" passenger-carrying flying
machines will bring Chicago seven
hundred. miles nearer to New
York and two thousand miles
nearer the Pacific.
Bernard Shaw says Great Britain
must take the coal fields, nation
alize and operate them, thus cut
ting out the industrial cancer that
causes so much trouble. “Britain’s
Government must have the cour
age and the financial intelligence”
to do this, says Shaw.
His suggestion will send a shud
der through the rich coal mine
owners, for he ob ervrs truthfully:
“The mine owners themselves will
supply money to buy their prop
erty, since what they get from the
Government will be taken from
them by eoli to] of the ineom a
tax, the supertax on estates and
duties.”

read of the RifT warrior, sixty

message to French headquarters.
Even more remarkable was the
feat of an Irishman, nearing mid

New York City ran more than 609
miles between Monday and Satur

Mayor of Long Island City.
That tough Irishman in the six

Lightning at Bakersfield, Cali

Is there no way of stopping such

reinforced concrete on the sides of
the metal tank, or a coating of
cheap reclaimed automobile tire
rubber covering the whole tank ?
And especially what about light

Was Franklin’s idea worth noth

Americans eat more sardines per
capita than any other race, which
is good for sardine men, bad for
sardine eaters. If this country de
pended less on a can opener and
more on good cooking it would be
healthier. Canned food, including
canned sardines, is a blessing,* a
convenience and an economy. But
it should not take the place of com
petent cooking, and too often
it does.

Mr. Kingsmore, of Maryland,
convicted of knocking his wife
clown and repeatedly kicking her,
is moderately described by the poor
wife as acting “downright onery.”
The “ornery” gentleman was sen
tenced to five blows with the cat
’o-nine-taiL on his bare back.
What do you think of that pun
ishment Is it too much or too
little? For the wife heater, five
hundred blows would be too few.
There are nine tails to a “cat”,
so the fve blows will amount to
forty-five stings.

MIGHT GET GOOD CAR
WITH LOAF OF BREAD
New York, May B.—A vision of
: the finest motor cars on the market
j being obtainable along the latter part
of 1933 in exchange for a standard
loaf of bread—with probably a chauf
feur in full uniform thrown in for
a hunk of coffee cake—might well
rise before an optimistic eye.
According to these figures, the
1914 cost of living dollars is now
worth only 69 cents, whereas the
automobile dollars of that year is
now valued at $1.16. In other words,
it required 1,482 bushels of wheat
to buy the average motor car in
1913, while only 552 bushels are
needed today. If this rate of 71
bushels less every year continues, no
doubt the citizens ten years from now
can only be coaxed to take a car away
from the show room if its equipped
wjth a bread box, filled by the dealer.
Other items of the report are:
“In 1925 there were 3,839,302 cars
| and 497,452 trucks produced in the
United States and Canada.
“Os the W'orld’s motor vehicles, 81
per cent arc owned in the United
States.
“1 he automobile industry employs
“More than 1,500,000 motor vehicles
3,445,642 persons,
were scrapped during the year.
“1 he total of taxation required for
the Nation’s highway bill was about
51.000.000,000, of which nearly S3OO,
000,000 was raised by bonds. Taxes
paid by the motor vehicle during 1925
totalled $667,000,000.”
CORRECT TIME-KEEPING
IN THE HOME
For many years electrically con
trolled clocks have been used in pub
lic places. Now, th e need of a simi
lar timepiece for the home is being
filled by the Philadelphia Electric
Company. The same electric socket
connection serves as is used for a
flatiron, fan, etc. The impulse which
motivate the clock are sent out from
a master device in a central station.
This is the latest thing in house
hold conveniences. Cost of installa
tion and maintenance is small; and
due to high state of electrical develop
ment, fear need not exist that current
will fail. One large electric system
in the Southeast, comprising 1,5#0
miles of 110,000-volt transmission line
is said to be entirely regulated from
one master clock.
Those who find fault with Red
Grange for going after easy money
are not entirely consistent. Many

OLD FAITHFUL.
Your physician bends ail of his
energy for the welfare of yourself
and your family. He sacrifices hi
own comfort in order that you and
yours may be • made happy and
comfortable. He is a scientific mar.,
of course. His constant aim is to
so perfect himself that he may
render you better service. The
hours are not his; the days are not
of his choosing; his constant task
is an endless search for better
methods of treatment —for more
palatable medicines—for more
harmless agencies for the relief of
suffering.
Believing that the physician is
in possession of an easy way of
making money, the.e are many
who would imitate him, so far
as surface markings are concern
ed. There are cults and healers
galore; they even guarantee cures;
they advertise to the world of their
alleged superior skill. Remember
—the capable physician never
has need of advertising. The in
capable imposter can get his vic
tim into his clutches by no other
method. So long as people are
gullible—so long as people can be
deceived, just so long will the char
latan flourish.
The quack aligned with ef
forts to eradicate disease. It was
no humbug that discovered diph
theria anti-toxin; the cults are not
hunting for cures for cancer, in
berculosis and other enemies of th
human race. No advertising quad
made the canal zone safe for 1
man activities; nor drove yell
fever from the South.
And still there are those who*

family physician who happened

the world; when Grandma all i
died of pneumonia! Ingratit"
