Just com pare the dresses of 50 years ago with the comfortable, sensible, and attractive dresses of today 1 At the present day, a girl is more independ ent than ever before in that she works in the business world and is proud of it.” Turning to the question of the modern girl as u mother, Mrs. Dixon, in discussing the girls of today, de * dared that “the modern mother makes a good one because she is better educated to fill the place. There are very few colleges." slid i continued, "today that do not have home economics courses and some have the nurseries where each stu dent takes care of a baby for a specified length of time, thereby hav ing the actual experience rather than the theory." The trouble, Mrs, Dixon believes, is not with the mmlern girl, but "with the critics and the new girls who are indiscreet, Those who criticize too harshly are pessimists and are not willing to accept the evolution of the present-day girl over the girl of the last century." And. as a matter of fact, Mrs. Dix on said, "the trouble we think, is with the modern girl really is with the sur roundings that are placed before them by older people and the irre sponsible parents who are more in terestede in their own pleasure than the welfare of their girl." fHE CONfiOftb £>AILY tRi6I)NE >■ "> ''* j - 'I ■ ■ DINNER STORIES “Darling, will you make me the Sappiest of men in three letters mean i ing eternal bltas?” “My answer is two letters meaning eternal freedom?” Sufferer, a dentist’s office: “Is the dentist in?” Servant: “No." Sufferer: “So much the better.” “How dare you come in at this time of night?” began Sirs.

Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 14.—MP)—A campaign to provide .North Carolina with mifUbns of baby chicks annual ly from certified hatcheries inside the state is being launched by the State Department of Agriculture, through its division of markets, it has been announced. "Literally millions of baby chicks are purchased in North Carolina ev ery year, and the majority of these are shipped in from the outside,” said George H. Ross, chief of the di visiup of markets. "In order to cor rect this. North Carolina* is" going to " ptff itself squarely behind the hen." Mr. Ross then told of the plan of inspection an<rcertification that will be put into operation through the di vision of. markets. He reported that the division already had applications on file, representing more than 12,000 birds. ‘ ’ These, said .tames P. Kerr, accred ited flock and hatchery inspector, will go out into the field for the division, and should be the mother of millions of baby chicks. “The average healthy hen," he continued, “should lay 150 eggs per year. Therefore. 12.000 should lay 1.800.000 eggs within the year. If two-thirds of" these eggs should hatch, that wyuld be 1.200.000 baby chicks within the next j'ear from the 12,000 prospective mothers we have requests to inspect. “Os course they will not measure up, but many of them will. We in tend this inspection work thorough. North Carolina should fur nish its own baby chicks and stop sending to other states for them." All birds that pass Inspection will be listed ami tagged with metal tags furnished by the Department of Ag . rieulture. These tags will be sealed. Vice President Has Very Narrow Es cape.

STEWART NBA Service Writer WASHINGTON— florae big rail road. men challenge the statement that the paying, lines oppose consolidation with the unprofitable ones. Well, it’s fair to concede that a few Individuals high in the trans portation world do favor a na tional merger of all the systems, even though these same individ uals may be shareholders in va rious paying roads. But the point Is that they’re shareholders in los ing roads, too, Obviously a man with a wad of dividend-yielding stock doesn’t so much mind seeing these dividends cut down if other stocks he owns are put on a basis of producing dividends which they. didn't re turn before. One offsets the other. Moreover, consolidation pre sumably would result hi economies by which the multiple Stockowner would be just so much better off. Finally, the big capitalist un derstands the markets and figures on making a speculative clean up in connection with the re shuffle which almost invariably ac qpmpanies Important mergers. ■ _ .——A——- PBbsPERITY OF AMERICA , ELIMINATES FRUGAfctj’Y Speech of Stacey W.- WMC jSetire Ihef' l Marshals as San Antonio, s*exas, -rfThc statement: that an people'are-by nbturL ’ dessp, the mdet^eitravipw,people on,' the face of the earth' toddy’* was magfe here ttalay by Stgeejr 'W,.; Y&jW; W Kuraia-e commissioner of Nojrro l'-'Gai‘o iioa, in an address before an- J nqal crtuventioii, of the FirC Jiforgfcjifc'!!

Our people do not seem to realize that it is much easier to preserve that which>ve iaVp than it is to create or recreate that which we spend or lose." “An analysis shows,” said the speaker, that, despite the efforts of the fire marshals, the fire loss has, "evCo with a larger percentage of fire resistive buildings than ever before, steadily risen until last year, 1!>24. out: bre loss exceeded the stupendous sum of more than five hundred and fifty millions of dollars,” And the apffckervftdded to the material loss the losj_of jnore than seventeen thousand lives, and therefore, an econom-'c loss of more than one billion dollars! In discussing the growth of the work and responsibility of the fire marshals, and the solution of the problem created by the tremendous losses, Mr. Wade deelnred. that "a bunding inspector on the job 365 days in <U}e year in a city of 20,(KX> will prevent more fires in the same period than .the best arson detective in Amer ind Will in a life-time.” This was not meant, however, as a disparagement of the work of the arson detectives, he said. f Quoting figures to show that fire loss in this country increased from $203,703,550 in 1013 to $535,372,782 in 1023, 10 years later, the speaker referred to the Baltimore conflagra tion of 20 years ago “which was view ed with nation-wide concern," and pointed out that "we_arc burning the equivalent of ten Baltimore conflagra tions in a single year." The speaker divided fire losses into four classes, the loss from careless ness being $350,000,000, he said; EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO f TH« siweeTesT Houstr plan in "N TOX>AY<S P-4P«S|*. S&e THERE .

Individually they're weak, but in numbers they count, financially and politically. The magnates can't match them when they unite. And this, in the face of dangers, is what they’re apt | to do. That’s the great obstacle I in the way of realization of the Washington administration’s rail- I road consolidation plans. < those from defective flues and cliira- j hc.VH, 000; those from, stoves ( add ftirhaces,, and from J kbing. sl2,<HX).oof>. ] ! the problems of j jJtl'S.Wt, wfi&v .find clitginay's, sttwjs ] * htfryWoSceit'eq*i d’« fmt-tty solved by i • t£s" "eiJiploymMft of’a'-trsined build- i es og,s« in each tire’ rtar- J *Mls department,” The losses caus- i ed def&CCrje wiring cbulkl . -employment qf | ejectrical engineer, t j ' remedy; j in siiiie leifqWshif)' Capfeble of aroui- ] ,ing the American people," ami hie, said ( 'that "tills assotiatfoa mustr supply ! that ! leadership. , Ttjis suggestion is .not a wild dream, b(rt lias been demonstrat j ed' in my State.

Peters, of Baltimore, and W. M. Avery, of Greensboro, students at the University of North Carolina, who came here last night to attend a fraternity dance at a local hotel, were arrested on the charge of taking a tire from an auto standing near the one owued by I’eters. The two young men were given a hearing in the municipal court, today. The war rant against the two defendants was changed to forcible trespass. Peters wa given a road sentence, but this was later changed by Judge Watson, to SIOO fine, while Avery was allow ed to go free on the payment of $25 and casts. Avery’s father attended the trial and paid his son’s fine. Peters promised to dispose of his ear gild not operate one during his co’lege days.
