HUDSON Last Friday night the Hudson an i Oak Hill high schools met each othe:' in debate on the question, "Resolv ed, that the United States should adopt a policy of further material restriction of immigration." The Granite Falls high school having dropped out, the Oak Hill negative team came to Hudson and the Hud son negative team went to Oak Hill. Both debates were of a very high order. At Hudson Rev. R. C. Go forth presided and Miss Clyde Mullis was secretary. Messrs. A. A. Black welder, L. A. Dysart and G. K. Moose of Lenoir acted as judges. Oak Hill was represented by James and Claud Andrews and Hudson toy Misses Toy Bolick and Mabel Conley. The judges decided unanimously in favor of the affirmative. The Hudson negative team, accom panied by the principal and Mr. and Mrs. Z. V. Johnson, went to Oak Hill. There, the debate was presided over by Prof. T. E. Story and Messrs. J. T. Pritchett and D. W. Roberta acted as judges. Oak Hill was represented by Misses Bertha Andrews and Lucy Austin and Hpdson by Misses Estelle Johnson and Mae Bolick. s The affirm stive won by unanimous decision of the judges there also. After the de bate, at the request of Prof. Story, a few remarks were made by C. An drews, J. T. Pritchett and D. W. Roberts. Mr. T. C Craig's new dwelling on Ninth avenue is nearing completion.

The child was playing close to the fire where they were heating water to butcher a hog. An older child went to stir tne nre, wnen tne Kerne or pot turn ed over and a lot of the water ran under the little child. Dr. Hickman was called at once and rendered med ical attention and relieved the pain. It is not likely that the child will be scarred, but it suffered terribly at the time.

WOMEN PICKETING BRITISH EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON Barred from the streets surround l.i!.' the British embassy, says a dis patch from Washington, Irish pick ets one day last week took to the air. From a flying machine they rained down packages of leaflets, espousing the Irish cause and containing such legends as "Down with British mili tarism." and challenged the police to come up and stop them. There being no sky cops in the national capital, no arrests were made. Four land pickets, however, who ventured out earlier in the day were arrested and held in the house of detention. The bombing expedition attracted plenty of attention but it registered no hits. A low visibility and squally winds scattered the "bombs" everywhere but on the embassy. The international tinge of the af fair, ollicial feel, makes it of more moment than the demonstration of the militant suffragists which were considered quite important a year ago. The resumption of the picket ing was marked by the arrest of four women pickets on charges of violat ing a Federal statute making it a felony to offer an insult to diplomatic representatives of a foreign govern ment, and is punishable by a peni tentiary sentence. SENATE FAVORS VOLUNTEER MILITARY IDEA The Senate refused Monday to strike out of the army reorganization bill the provision for voluntary uni versal training recently substituted fro the military committee's plan for obligatory training. The motion of Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Ten nessee, to strike out was defeated 37 to 9. The action of the Senate was expected to result in carrying the voluntary training proposal into con ferenc efor adjustment by Senate and House managers. Only youths between 18 and 21 years of age would be accepted for the voluntary training under an amendment suggested and written into the bill. The previous age limits were from 18 to 28 years.
