meeting and gave their opinions ns to
the legality of the Ford offer in rela
tion to the advertisement of sale. Indi
cations were that this was found satis
factory. while no question was said to
have been raised as to the procedure of
negotiation which has been urotewtert by
the Boston Iron and Metal company, of
Baltimore, but declared by the board’s
counsel to have been regular and legal.
Although ill - . Ford in his offer ex
pressed a hope that, if the ships were
awarded to him. some now on the At
lantic const might be substituted for
several in the list of 200 offered; no
change in the list was recommended by
Mr. Palmer, and the board is expected
to make no ouch change on the ground
that to do so would alter the basis of
the entire sale arid be contrary to the
advertisement Chairman O'connor inti-
mated, however, that some of the ships
desired by the manufacturer might
later be offered for scrapping in another
sale.
Among the many interesting things on
show at the Exhibition of Inventions
held recently in London, few attracted
more attention than an apparatus de
signee! by a woman Inventor, Alins Veren*
Holmes. ft is a device enabling an im
portant operation iri the treatment of
consumption to be carried out in t|ie
home, and it is regarded as a great boon
by (he medical profession. Miss Holmes,
who is a qaljfied engineer, has a number
of other inventions to her credit. One
of the most proposing is a new type of
diving apparatus.

Yet federal reserve bank repre,

of the Treasury Dewey, recently,
that they don’t believe his attempt
to popularize 12 bills will succeed.
They reminded him of his failure
to .get silver cartwheels back Into
circulation.
"Yes,’’ argued Dewey, "but there
was some sense In that Cart
wheels really are pretty heavy to
lug around. This prejudice against
12 bills is so silly."
"No sillier than a prejudice
against Friday the 13th," rejoined
the bankers.
Still, they promised to try. •

Havel Crossing Poci, negro wornuri of

pealed to ilagisjrate J-. M. Waring yes

"break the |ia’iit."
The letter which she received was
from the "one and only Madam X." of
Berkley, Va., "Formerly of Europe."
It tells its pwn sfo.’y :

work in three different ways. Make
you have different (llriea-.es. run you
crazy and even go far eribugh to send you
to the Great Beyond. I 1 am now enclosing
a heavy dose which 1 am sure will get
you one of the three Ways. While I
was In Method I rode by your house
nnd buried a heavy dose under your front
porch. You are likely to start rocking
on the porch one moririug and you will
never stop. A doctor cannot do you any
good. Note the herbs nml roots in the
pretty littlri hag. If you throw them
away I got you. If you burn them I got
you. If you bury them 1 got you. And
if you keep them I got .twin 1 will have
you under Contrril by tIWHWr the first

And that means death to you. I am
passing through now going to Hampton.
Va., which is my next stop. I guess yon
know who the lady was in Method. If
you don’t know you will know by the first

ing, "every time I get a two’ ac
cepted in place of two ’ones."'
And so he will, but can he get
enough "twos" accepted to make
the saving amount tc much?
SOME more suggestions were of
fered:
1. Enlargement of the govern
ment's money-making plant.
2. Bills about the size of cigar
store coupons, such as many coun
tries get along with. The'd save
raw materia! and fit into pocket
books flat, avoiding the creasing,
mussing and wadding up. which
wear them out so fast now
3. More durable bills—tougher
paper, to make them last longer.

rE trouble with all these
schemes is that they take

Doctors of Texas will advertise.
A tradition that no reputable physician
should solicit patronage through t|le

Medical Association meeting at Austin
and plans were made for carrying out a
systematic group advertising.
Tile association named an exeeutiye
committee to devise means of advertis

different kinds of practitioners whom
they do not consider qualified to treat
disease.
County units of the association haye
been instructed to publish tjic names of

One day last week the Monroe Hard-|

was to be used around Laurinburg and j
lower Itiehmond county to dust cotton :
fields to kill boll weeevil. An airplane j
was used to dust the cotton, newspapers
stating that “3,000 notes were dusted all
before breakfast.” It is understood that
the airplane owners are charging from
