OPPOSE PLAN OF FORD
TO SCRAP 400 VESSELS
Shipping Board Members Prtbably Will
Oppose Plan When Formally Present
ed to Them.
itiy the Associated Press)
Washington. May 14.—Henry Ford’s
willingness to buy 400 ships from the
shipping board involving n large scrap
ping program met with immediate oppo
sition today in’ some shipping board
I quarters.
Should the sale of several hundred
shilis for serapping be decided on it is
expected the matter would.be referred to
the ship sales commission headed by
Commissioner I,issuer, and the ships
would be advertised for sale and the
awards made to tke highest bidders. Thin
would mean that' Mr. Ford would have
to enter the field against ail other bid
ders.
While the view was expressed that
eventually 300 or 400 of the laid up
ships, including for the most part Lak
ers, would be forced to the junk pile,
some rs the commissioners said that it
was by no means certain that the board
would agree to any wholesale serapping
for some time to come.
At the same titme it was made clear,
that no offer from Mr. Ford had been
received at the board and the members
are awaiting the return of Chairman
Mr. 'OConnor from a trip to Detroit
and Buffalo before formally going into
such a question.
SAYS CHURCH BOOKS

People.
Chapel Hill, May 13. —The church

with jazzy tunes, according to Dr. Hu

here with Dr. and Mrs. Edgar W.
Knight. /
Dr. Poteat gave an illustrated lecture
in the Baptist Church here Sunday morn
ing, pausing long enough now and then
to go to the church piano and show how
verses of serious content are being adapt
ed to jazz tunes.
Dr. Poteat said there are too many
cheap song books on the market, that
commercialism in singing is probably the
cause.
“Publishing houses are going to suit
the tastes of the people,” Dr. Poteat
said, “for it is from the public that they
get their livelihood, they will print the
bocks the public will buy.”

NO SHORT LEASE OF
MUSCLE SHOALS POWER
Senator Underwood Thinks It Unlikely
That Government Will Grant Short
Time Lease.
(My (be Associated Press)
Washington. May 14.—There is little
prospect of leasing for a short period the
power of Muscle Shoals, Senator Under
wood, of Alabama, declared here today
after a conference with President Cool
idge.
Senator Underwood championed a bill
in the last session to lease the properties.
Failure of Congress to authorize dispos
al of the properties lids led to sugges
tions that the secretary of war lease i
the power meanwhile.
Senator Underwood agreed with the
view of President Coolidge that no lease
should be made of the power if it will
hinder in any way final disposition of the 1
properties, a problem which is now be
ing studied by a special commimssinn ap
pointed by the President.

Scorpion Stands Off Swann of Wild Bees.
Monroe. May 13.—While working in
his field some time ago W. L. Rape
noticed a blackjack in the edge of tlie
woods which had a hole about two inches
, in diameter leading into the hollow.
Sticking out of that hole was the head
of a scorpion so large that it made Mr.
Rape shudder, for that is one animal that
he does not like a little bit. Not wish
ing to have any difficulty with such a
varmint, he went on about his work,
making a mental note that he would
bring his gun down some time and shoot
him. A few days thereafter he was
working in the same field and heard a
roar in the vicinity of the tree and went
to investigate. He found a swarm of
bees circling round the hole and the same
old scorpion sitting there guarding it.
The reptile wouldn’t get out and the
bees wouldn't go in while he was there,
so 'they settled on a limb of the tree.
Mr. Rape is an old bee keeper and he
knew what to do. He got the boys and
a bee gum. They climbed the tree,
plugged up the hole and the scorpion in
it, cut a section of the limb that the
bees were on and hived them. They
went to work at once for their new mas
ters and seemed happy to be settled down.
The boys unstopped the hole and pre
sumably the scorpion is still on guard,
though Mr. Rape says he aims to take
his gun with him some day and get the
fellow. He just, doesn’t feel good work
ring in his field with that thing sitting
rin his hole watching him.
Albemarle to Erect Confederate Statue.
Albemarle, May 13.—One of the best
pieces of news to break during the past
several weeks was tlie announcement by
the local chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy of the closing of the order
for a monument tot the Confederate sol
diers.
The monument will be 5 1-2 feet thick
at the base and will .stand 18 1-2 feet
| high. The base will be of a fine grade
of granite, while the figure of the Con
federate soldier will lbe of bronze.
On the monument committee who se
lected the design and gave the order, were
Miss Mary Mabry, Sirs. H. L. Horton
and Mrs. M. J. Harris.
The total cost of the monument will
be approximately $6,000. which amount
lias been largely donated by citizens of
the town and county.
Os course, not all of the necessary cost
has been raised, but enough is in hand
to warrant the starting of the work,
i and there is little anxiety as to whether
or not there will be any trouble in rais
ing the remainder of the funds.

of Mrs. Nora Ellis Burns, whose life
less body was found last Sunday in the

sonal effects of Bruce Lane, painter, who

Army Fingerprints Find One Man In
Seven Million.
The identity of any man who has
served in the regular army since 1906
can be learned, and tlie entire record of
the soldier laid bare in from ten to twen
ty minutes, through the fingerprint sys
tem the service lias employed for almost
twenty years to register its members.
More than 7,000.000 men have been in
the army since the method was installed,
but data for any one of them can be lo
cated quickly by comparing his finger
marks with those in the files. The op
eration of tlie system is so simple that,
it is said, inexperienced clerks can ac
complish successful searches in a few
minutes, after a short instruction. Al
though there are on record more than
50.00 ft Smiths, 40,000 Browns and 28,-
000 Johnsons, it is claimed any one of
them could be easily identified by means
of the fingerprint system, which also has
been used to expose frauds, to keep un
desirables from enlisting, and to pro
tect the government against false claims.
