of the members,” said the judge.
“Men may become prominent but 'hey

CARRYING CHILDREN TO
SCHOOL IN MOTOR CARS
North Caiolina Ranks Second Among the
States of the Union In This Matter.
*••> * twMriMnl Press)
Raleigh. N. C , July 20.—Public trans
portation of school children has been the
subject of an exhaustive study made by
. W. 11. I’ittman. of the State Department
I of Public Instruction, who lias made pnb
■ Hr* his findings. Such transportation,
j reports Mr. Plttman.- was first undertak
en at the Craven County Farm Life
School at Vawfboro in 1012-18. The
next year Edgecombe county began the
transportation at the Ireggett Consolidat
ed School, using three horse drawn ve
hicles.
Mr. Pittman gives figures to show the]
enormous increase in the public tram*-,
pollution of school children during the
past few years. "All early transporta
tion was done by wagons," the said.
"The first motor truck for transportation
of school children was purchased by Pam
lico county, in August, 11117. The same
year Edgecombe county purchased n ,
truck. Thera is some disagreement be
tween the superintendents as to which
truck was first used In hauling children
to school. At any rate, both counties
used motor trucks that year for the first
time, and these were the first two coun
ties in North Carolina using autopiotive
transportation.,
“The state supervisor of elementary
schools reported six vehicles in 1014-15,
which transported 130 children,” Mr
Pittman said. "In 1020, five years lat
er. there were 130 vehicle* transporting
7,036 pupils. There was an increase of
144 vehicles in five years and an in
crease of 7.680 in the number of children
transported.
"No figures are available as to the
number of vehicles used, nor as to the
namber of children transported in 1920-
21," continued Mr. Pittman. "In 1022
there were 528 vehicles used daily to
transimrt 20,358 school children. ‘ This
shows an increase in two years of 378
vehicles and represents 252 per cent, and
the increase in the number of children
hauled represents 157 per cent.
In 1023-24. 03 of the 100 counties in
the State were transporting children to
the public schools. These 03 counties
used 1,318 conveyances, mostly motor
trucks, and transported 48,251 Children
to and from school. There were 460, or
64 per cent., more conveyances used in
1028-24 than in 1023. Also, there were
*8 per' wO» tf sSSSry!s'B^ , ll f waI)
spent foe new schoolhouses. In 1023-2$
$511,444.22 was spent for new convey 2 l
[ antes. This was an increase of more
| than 05 per cent, in one year.”
Mr .Pittman then went into a discus
sion of comparative figures affecting coun
ties. “Wilson county ranked first as to
the number of trucks used in 1923-24,”
he said. “This county reported 68 motor
trucks that year. Granville was second,
with 66 trucks; Johnston was third, with
44 trucks and two other ears; Edgecombe
was fourth with 42 trucks, and Guilford
was fifth with 31 trucks and five touring
cars.
“Each of 34 counties operated 15 or
more trucks in 1023-24.
“Each of 52 counties operated 10 or
more trucks in 1023-24, and 41 other
counties which employed transportation
had less than 10 trucks each.
“Wilson county transported 2222
children, the largest -number In any coun
ty. Granville was second, with 1,867
transported children. Stanly county re
ported the transportation of 1.835 Chil
dren on 31 tracks. Edgecombe ranked
fourth, »*nce she hauled 1,470 children.
“Ifidtana ranked first among the States
in the number of pupils transported in
1023-24. She had 08,637 children trans
ported daily.
“North Carolina ranked second in
1023-24 when 48,251 children were trans
ported daily.
“lowa reported the transportation of
45,000 children and ranked third..
“New Jersey was fourth, was 38,700,
and Louisiana fifth, with 38,153.
“Only five states reported the total
daily mileage of the vehicles used. North
Carolina's total dally mileage was great
er than that reported by any of these five
States.

REPUBLICANS FEAR THEY
WILL LOSE SOME STATES
At Least Ten States Where Democrats
May Win.—Hardihg Men May Pas*.
Washington, July 18.—The fear among
Republicans that they may lose control
of the Senate in the election next year,
is reported to be more acute now than
ever. Some political oixmrvers here see
1* such report-a ■'scare* to'have the
party get very Busy in its efforts to
retain control of the next Senate. In
deeel. the Republicans have control of
only the organization of the present Sen
ate; they cannot control its legislative
action.
But the great danger next year to Re
republieans is that they may lose control
of the organization. There are at least
ten states in Which seats held now by
Republicans may be captured by Demo
crats. And there are five other states
in which seats held now by staunch ad
ministration Republicans may he won
by insurgents. And there are stili other
states where the situation seems to
favor the Democrats more -than the Re
publicans.
Os the 35 senators to be chosen only
seven are Democrats, and they come from
the certain Democratic states of the
South. The Democrats are sure to re
tain these seats and if they can win
eight out of the 26 remaining seats to
be contested for. they will be able to
control the organization. and select the
chairmen of the committee.
Indiana, where Senator James E. Wat
sop, the assistant Republican floor lead
er of the Senate, is a candidate for re
election, is now classed as a doubtful
state, because Watson is opposed by the
Beveridge and New factions. Beveridge
is expected to be a candidate against
Watson in the primary and it is pre
dicted the contest will be 60 bitter as
to badly divide the party.
In Wisconsin the La Follette follow-?
ers are reported to be determined to
defeat Senator -Lenroot who ia a de
pendable administration senator. Utah,'
one of the two states that cast its elec
toral vote for Taft in 1012, is reported
to be turning Democratic. It elected
a Democratic governor last fall and it Is
now believed a Democrat stands a good
chance in defeating Senator Smoot for
re-election.
If Governor A1 Smith decides to make
•the race in New York for the Senate
against Senator ,T. W. Wadsworth.
Smith's election is regarded as reasonably
certain. Both are wet, but the drys |
in New York are saying that they would |
prefer a wet Democrat-to a wet Republi
can.
Senator Cameron, or Arixona. a Re
publican. was elected on the Harding
landslide in 1920. as were Senators Ernst,
of Kentucky,-Weller, of Maryland, Oddie,
of Nevada, and SpenceT, of Missouria.
The latter died about two months ago
and Senator Williams is his successor.
Senator Harreld. of Oklahoma, also came
in on the Harding landslide. All six
of these Republican senators, it is prac
tically certain, will be succeeded by
Democrats.
It is believed that the Democrats have
more than an even chance in Ohio, where
Senator Wilis, another Harding landslide
senator, is a candidate for re-election.

SAYS HIS ADMINISTRATION
WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY
Thinks McLean “In Fairness” Should
Clear Up Issue—Facts Should Be
Known.
Charlotte. July 18.—Former Governor
Cameron Morrison today gave out a
statement in reply to the “accumulated
balance debit” report of the state and
says “the*, program of- Governor -Mc-
Lean's administration looking to shift
ing the state from a revenue or accrual
basis of legislation as well as accounting
to the eash system as of the 30th of
June lias been consummated by the re
markable feat of retroactively throwing
the so-called Morrison administration
upon a cash basis of legislation and ac
counting instead of the revenue or ac
crual basis upon which it legislated.”
Governor Morrison would like for it
to be distinctively understood that the
“accumulated balance debit” does not
say and he contends does not mean that
the Morrison administration went in the
hole over nine million dollars. He does
say. however, that the report of the Mc-
Lean administration has left this impres
sion and tells Governor McLean that
in fairness to the Morrison administra
tion he ought to clear up the point. Re
ferring to the “cash system” Governor
Morrison says that during his adminis
tration “there was no way to shift to
the ‘cash system’ without borrowing
money for a capital fund upon which to
do it. Governor McLean is doing that
very thing. It may be wise to do it,
but it ought to be openly done and the
people given the facts.” \
Mr. Morrison calls upon “that grand
army of progressives who helped write
the ‘program of progress' into Jaw in
this state to help me resist this cruel
wrong and injustice. The foul blot
shall not be written upon the banner of
the progressives of this state. We did i
not spend nine and one-half millions of
dollars than we levied revenue to pay,
or any substantial sum as state finances
go.” Mr. Morrison in the course of his
statement inferentiaily informs Governor
McLean that he made him and tells the
progressives that ‘we must fight if we
continue to win.” \

GIRLS TOLD OF NATURE’S
WAYS TO GIVE RED CHEEKS
“Nature's Vanity Case,” the Title of an
Ingenious Pamphlet.
Manchester. Eng., July 20.—“ Nature's
1 anity Case is. the title of an ingenious
and entertaining beauty pamphlet issued
by the British National Milk Publicity
Council recently to enlist the interest of
people in wholesome .food. The little
booklets are sent particularly to girls'
clubs and to factories throughout the
country where young women and boys
j are employed. Lectures from the eoun-
IcH visit the clubs aud recreation centers
| of the factories from time to time, to em
, pbasize the importance'of good health.
The lecturer takes as her model those
j indefatigable saleswomen placed intarge
J .«IWIS to interret the- pt)sw«e4ft -ht-yfOaar
‘special article. Assembled upon a table
in front of her are her “beauty products,”
or samples of nature's vanity box.
“No dressing table is complete with
out rouge these days,’’ says the lecturer,
"but the best kind consists of creamed
carrots, which we call nature’s own paint
or complexion brush. ’Eat them cooked
or raw. No matter how tender or deli
cate your skin, you can use yellow car
rots cooked in milk twice a week. By
mixing these two colors within the body,
a promising color will appear upon the
cheeks of almost any person whose health
is anyway near normal.”
Continuing on the question of the com
plexion tlie lecturer goes on to say: “If
people are pale and sallow, try our high
ly recommended skin softener, an apple
hanging from the hough of .the fruit tree.
It is delivered in an* air tight pack
age, but be sure and always eat the
pnekage itself, the apple skin.
"Our most important product of all is
cows’ vanishing cream. Kings, queens,
princesses, actresses, film stars and moth
ers all recommend it. It gives you good
bones, white teeth and sparkling smiles.
There is enough produced in England for
every one to. have four or five glasses
each day, or even more if he desires
it.
“Here is our complexion powder ex
tracted from wholesome cereals—porridge,
rice and barley; equally well suited to
‘ blond or brunette. The best powder
puffs are fluffy potatoes baked in their
skins, but always be sure and eat the
skin too. Eye sparklers, made from the
phosphorus in creamed onions, are excel
lent.
“We have also vanity eases in several
shades of green, made from leafy vege
tables. The spinach case is perhaps the
most popular among business women.
,And always remember that the beauty
secrets of the bonniest English girls are

Tells Cabinet of France.
(By (he Associated Press)
Paris, July 20.—France will start a

longer justification for any uneasiness.
The first section of a new division of
reinforcements have reached Morocco and
will be moved to the Taza district, where
Abdei Krim’s recent attacks had been

as necessary."
He added that the Malshal had been
