EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE Greensboro. Nov. 26.—0 n Return From Carolina-Virginia Game.—Per sons familiar with the red hills of Orange county must have joined me in silent prayers of thanks tonight a we motored over modern highways that have replaced the almost inac cessible roads of the past. On a Thanksgiving night eleven years ago j I motored from Durham to this city I in a rain such as has fallen tonight I and on that trip we left Durham at 10 p. m. and reached Greensboro tit 4 a. m. Tonight, despite a rain that began falling about 7 o’clock just as my party was leaving West Durham, we easily made the trip to Greens boro in a little more than two hours. The red hills of Orange arc no ter ror to motorists now for the mud has been girded with a white sheet of ce ment and we moved without hesitation and with but little fear ueross hollows and up and dawn hills that would have tested the patience of .Job eleven years ago. From Hillsboro on through Mebane, Haw River, Graham and into Burlington there used to la* a so-call ed road that skirted a desolate coun tryside. For miles it was possible to drive without seeing any sign of life.. Even the streets of the towns one passed through were but little more than a succession of mud holes after a steady rain such as we had tonight. But tonight, thanks to the widespread use of the auto and its Inevitable de mand for gas, and a spirit of fearless ness so far as bonds are concerned on the part of North Carolinians, we negotiated the trip without a single 1" atop and without the aid of the mule, team that ouce was so conspicuous and necessary. That section of North Carolina from Greensboro to Durham, and es pecially from Burlington to Durham, has not grown up as have section- be tween Greensboro and Concord. One wonders just why so much land is idle, for it is possible even now to j, drive dales along the JJurlingtou-Pur hum highway without seeing a well- I: .kept farm house or a (highly cultivat ed farm. .Sage-brush is the predomi nating crop so far as the eye can tell. With here and there a new farm house | in a clearing still stubbed with trees and stumps. ' . One does not see signs of a rural '".-“main street" such as one sees from Salisbury to Concord, and on to Gas tonia. There is missing the sign of gljlevelopim'nt so much in evidence be ; tweeiC Greeusboro and High Point, for iuctancc. Farms there must be cy but certainly they are not on the highway. Ip' There are evidences of prosperity fejtfcw ** that, however, along certain . purtu'qf the highway, >sotably are the it'", new. whoolhouses and churches, lit the smaller towtiS: especially,v>»e set's ffi|pw srhoolhousfs or additions to rtfth-i Jptr modern buildings already in scr- B'vice., I not iced a number of new Btunmti T churches between Concord I | anil Durham, country simply because • ■Uiv.' are being erected in rural sec- * s tions. These buildings are commod ious. modern in appearance and ap pointments Two minor and one major accidents occurred on the highway I traversed tonight. The wonder is not that these accidents occurred but rather that the total was not twenty times three. Most I any auto driver can remember'the time when a rain meant slower progress ou the highways. There was an un written Jaw of the road about the rate of speed to be ma-ntained and the care one should take about passing autos. Persons whizzed by me to night as though I were stand'ng still. > From the liavdsurface they would slide into the mire of the approaches, apparently confident that no harm could come to them. Several persons told me tonight that they drove from ■Chapel Hill to Greensboro in two hours—a distance of abyut 55 miles, with at least a delay of fifteen or twenty minutes in dodging through the congestion at The Hill. Fully eighteen thousand persons saw the football game at Chapel Hill this afternoon, most of them having motored from their homes. That means at least 4,000 cars were ou the highways leading from Chapel Hill tonight for the average load of each would hardly be more than four per sons. Most of the traffic had hut few roads to choose from—to Durham, to Hillsboro and to Pittsboro—so these roads were of necessity badly congested. Yet there were plenty of persons foolish and careless enough to drive over them at the rate of 55 and 60 miles an hour, in the face of a rather driving rain. I saw persons at the gmiie who had apparently imbibed too freely of con traband. The system under which such people operate has always been a mystery to me. They will drive several hundred miles, pay out per fectly good money for tickets and then get too drunk to see the game. It seems to me they could get the same kick at home, saving the long drive and the concurring expenses. They would also keep many sober specta tors from being annoyed. It is nothing but natural to expect ‘ drunks" among such a gathering. Take any city with a population of eighteen thousand and you will find liquor drinker-. And these liquor drinkers will piek out a conspicuous place for their activities even in the home town. I could get little thrill from the game. Take Diffy away and the af fair would have been about as tame as could be staged between football teams. The Virginia captain was the difference between the two teams ynd he was the dim spark of freshness in a listless contest. j Two years from now I shall not bother. (o get a ticket in advance. This year I did this and I found that the 'general admission fan had it all over me. lie got his ticket ut the last minute, stood around the fence guard ing the playing field and made it nec essary for everybody in the part of the grandstand in which I was sta- I j tinned to stand up during the entire game. 1 doubt if I would get much I kick out of any game where I had to stand up throughout the proceedings. - sary Saks do not come aftener.

The government’s effort to have the spireme court invalidate the sale of German dye patents seized during the war directs attention to the breaking un of the once great German dyestuff monopoly. Though Germany is still trying to regain the mastery and sends more dyes here than any other country, our dye imports are being re duced by increased home production. Xo( only that, but American manu facturers have been able to improve t’lc product. The tariff commission reports that America now produces dyes of a fast ness never before attained. Last year (it) netv dyes were heme produced. In .one year American dye manufactur ers spent $2,000,000 in research, in fact, world production has almost doubled and an era of competition has set in. Recently a slight de crease in the consumption of dyes was noted due to the popularity of light colors. Women’s insistence on "flesh color" in hosiery, etc., is partly re sponsible The government is seeking to set aside the purchase of 4.8(H) seized dye patents by the Chemical Founda tion on the ground that they were gobbled up by friends of those baying a say in their sale. lower courts have decided that the sale was “above board.” Thai the dye industry is not with out its romance is attested by the story of Hie German undersea freight er Deutscblund which twice suceess fully evaded the British blockade to bring to-America valuable dye car goes early in the war—before Ameri ca joined the allies, Jacob Schaefer.

THE CONCORB DAILY TRIBUNE CANNED FRUIT KEPT FRESH HALF YEAR BY NEW DEVICE Elimbiaticn of Oxygen Ercm Metal Case Employed iu California. That fresh fruits and vegetables at Christmas and other times out of sea son wilt be common is predicted by , treason of a -iievial preserving method developed in California. Some 200 tests already have. demonstrated t}ie success of the process, says "Popu lar Mechanics." California pears picked last year in August were found to be ripe, fresh, full-flavored ami sound when they were opened iu In diana on Christina* Day. Peaches packed in July this year were iu the same condition a>> when put iu their contaiiiers when they reached tab'es in London and Hamburg, forty to forty-five days later. Grapes, similarly treated and sent to L ndon and Liverpool, were served at a banquet as fresh fruit just from the vines, although they had hpen in storage ten days and forty days at sea. A steamer load of fruits and veg e.ables has been sent around the world from San Francisco The cargo will ibe carefuly inspected by experts from the University of California ou its return, to determine if there Ims been any decay during tiie 25,U0G-mile journey. The method i.s based on eliminateu of oxygen from contuct with the fruit, thus averring decomposition The process is simple. The product is graded us to size, then each artice. except grapes,\ cherries and other small fruits, is wrapped in tissue pa lter, just as in packing iu the ordi nary shipping container, but a metal ease holding twenty-four to forty-eight pounds is used instead of a wooden box. When the container is filled, a perforated cardboard shield js placed inside the package and over the fruit. Un this .shield is laid a slender pine sticky.soaked in an iu fininnmhle compositJon. The stick is ignited, and when thy composition on it is burning at its best, the lid i.s clamped down and the container hermetically sealed. The burning sub stance consumes all the oxygen, leav ing carbon dioxide in its place, to gether with the nitrogen of the air. The cans are then stored or shipped tit 46 to 50 degrees. The gas treatment is a "so applied to flowers, and is said to have the same beneficial effects, causing them to re tain their color, fragrance and fresh ness. although shipped long distances.

I was planning to transfer in New York to a boat which sails tomor row morning.” “Well,” said the voice, “I’ll be ' leaving you before that.” For a fleeting instant Lacy thought of all the tales he had heard nbout the wicked folk who ask you ! for a ride and who, just when you are obligingly speeding along the ' road, press sudden revolvers against ’ ' our ribs and then make off with [ all your portable wealth. This ap prehension had short shrift. For 1 the potential brigand stepped for ward into the light of his lamps and he saw he was talking with a Domi- ■ r.ican nun.

They had been driving stead ily for twenty minutes and were slackening their speed in a small 1 sharl of traffic in the outskirts of ! Greenwich when they looked at each other and smiled. “You are running away, you?” he ventured. . • ! “How long have you known that?” she asked. “For quite a time back. But I didn’t know how to address you. I don’t yet. I practiced saying: ‘Where are you going, Sister?’ But it somehow sounded rowdy. And I don’t feel rowdy. You see, I don’t know much about nuns. Don’t you all have Latin names? Like Sister Benedictine, or something like that?” “Yes, something like that,” she agreed, smiling. Tjien she added as art afterthought: “They call me Con Amore.” “Well, then, Sister Con Amore,” he began, and lapsed at once ■ into another silence. Out of his jumble of thoughts, several questions kept vising to the surface and lingering there unspoken. Wasn’t Con Amore Italian, anyway?'“And why had he • thought he wanted to go to Paris? And why—above all why—should the same slim and lovely person put on not only the white dismissive cloth of the Dominican nun, but also a perfume? It was a wicked and worldly perfume—a beckoning per fume. ■~‘ l I hope you’re not going to ask me any questions,” she pfit in gent ly. “It is so pleasant to ride along like this.

Even to Lacy; a man sophisticated, worldly, experienced as neither the boisterous Bing or the intellectual Adams was experi enced, understood this. There was in him nothing of the primitive which colored the rude gestures and the passion of the Southerner, nor anything cold, fishlike, of the intel lectual penfration which distinguish ed the Bostonian. He was, in short, a man who lived by his senses, with out reflection, without worrying i very profoundly about the reasons or the motives of any action. He j took what came his way. Now as he sat at the wheel of the ! purring Isotta-Franchini, with a perfumed and renegade nun by his side, his mind slowly turned over adventures of the past. One by one he recounted his conquests. • . . Not all of them perhaps, 1 but at least the major ones—those | which might have been underlined I in red. , .
