SCHOOL FOR GOVERNMENT EM
PLOYES.
Speaking before a group of insur
ance men in New York City. Govern
or McLean reiterated h : s oft-repeated
' declaration that the same business
methods used in business should be
applied to government, ami added this
new thought—that there should be
some place in the American educa
tional system for “training in the
principle and technique of efficient
government administration'’ for those
who ex|>eet to spend their lives in
public service.
Tlvat thought is well worth eonsid
eratiou. The uran who intends to
become a cotton mill superintendent
doesn't study medicine when lie en
ters college, nor does the prospective
physician devote his time in college
to engineering. The man who wants
to enter the cotton mill business takes
a textile course and the man planning
to become a physician studies those
subjects that will make him a spec
ialist.
That is just what the government
employe should do. He should become
a specialist in government adminis
tration. so that the work coming un
der him could be successfully carried
out.
VU: are fortunate that -"jr govern
mental affairs have not been conduct
ed op a lower plauc than they have.
Politicians run them and that usual
ly means graft, greed and speculation.
- The fact that the politician has been
running things may be one reason we
have few government specialists. A
man, under our present very ineffi
cient system, might prepare himself
at some college for governmental ser
vice only to learn npon completion of
the course that, his party was not in
..power and that the other party cared
nothing for his training so long as,
he could not vote right.
There has been little incentive for |
the man who planned to spend his
life in government service. He has
been /!0 busy pleasing those in power
be has had little time to give for im
provement in his work. Ho dared not
| ' risk uu investment in preparing him
self for his task for fear at the last
Rv minute the job would be taken away
from min.
Bui; Governor McLean's suggest'on

PAYING FOR THBJ ROADS IN
LEAPS AND BOUNDS.
We are paying for our good roads
in North Carolina at a rate that
makes it possible to extend the paving,
program to all sections of the State.
As a matter of fact the more roads we
build the more, money we take in
from gasoline and auto taxes.
Gasoline and automobile license tax
es collected by the state during No
vember totalled more than three-quar
ters of a million dollars, the figures
made public by the motor vehicle bu
reau of the state revenue department
show.
The exact figures were: Gasoline tux
collections, $656,534.42, as compared
with '5440,909.27 during November,
1924, and license taxes $106,537.38.
as compared with $104,852.40 during
November, 1924. The total of both
gasoline and license taxes for the first
five mouths of the present fiscal year
is $7,642,963.21, more than a million
ahead of the collections at the end of
November, 1924, when the figures for
the total collections of these two tax
items of $6,482,350.24.

WAR DECLARED ON
EYE-GLASS PEDLERS
North Carolina Optometrical Society-
Will Prosecute Violators of Law-
Durham, Dec. 2.—War has been
declared by the North Carolina State
Optometrical Society against the
itinerant eye glaes peddler and every
man discovered in the State engaged
in a house-to-house sale of eye
glasses will bo vigorously prosecuted,
according to Dr. N. Rosenstein,
president of the society of thin city.
Under the laws of the State the
sale of eye glasses from house to
house is prohibited and the use of
charts and measures for testing eyes
while engaged in this business is
banned. The law was enacted by the
State Legislature at the request of
the State optometrists who showed
hat the business of the itinerants
should not be al owed because of the
grqat harm that would be done to
the eyes of the people who fell their
victims. Only by scientific examina
tion of the eyes can proper glasses be
fitted, Dr. Rosenstci-n stated, byway
of showing that the method adopted
by the itinerant eye glasss peddler*
is positively injurious. The method
used, he stated, is to carry sample
glasses for trial by the prospective
customer. Each pair of glasses hqs a
different lens, increasing the

A NEGRO EXPOSES
BAND QF-jCROOKS
Aged Monroe Man Leads Police to
Break of Swindling Gaag.
Monr- e, Dee, 4. —Seeking to recover
SBO of which be had been swindled.
Sam Howie, an- old gray-h'eaded ne
gro farmer of Union county, today
turned the light on the running ot a
party of strange negroes, which gave
the police department of Monroe seme
lively chases last Wednesday after
noon.
This unique orgnuixation which is
made up by a low black negro, a tall
brown skin negro, two other negro
men and a negro woman, has tjeen
pulling some clever tricks on the mem
bers of their race. They locate their
victims to be by finding who has
money on his person They then
worked in pairs When the victim
is located the finder gives his partner
the wink and he finds near them a
big fat pocket book. He brings it
immediately to the iiyin who is en
tertaining the newly made friend,
gets an intro. uction and the three
go out to divide the spoils. . When
they open up the pocketbook the
money is all in big bills, so that
the proper change cannot be made.
They then follow tiie plan of pooling
the money of all three, and one of the
party goes away to get the proper
change. When he fails to return
the ether goes away to hunt him.
and leaves the newly made friend to
wait without his money while they
never return.
This was the trick pulled on Old
Sam Howie here last Wednesday. He
was talking to a young likely ueijro
who has assisted him in selling a hale
of cotton, when in their sight an
other negro picked up a pocketbook.
Uncle Bam and kis new friend being
the only ones to see him find it* it
was decided to divide the money and
n'ay shut-mouth. When Unc’e Sam
nut ia the price of his bale to assist Jn
making the change, the other negroes
escaped with Vac whole amount. He
was afraid to tell the officers for he
was guilty of keeping found property
But today he decided that he would
take a c-liance and try to recover his
money.
Except for Clarence Brown, who
was caught here fast Wednesday
tiie members of the gang are at large
It seems that they could nos stand
* sight of a uinfortn, and when
C ief Spoon gave chase to two of
them, they all ran in different direc

f oroe were attracted by running ue

was giving chase to his own irnli

Several members of the police’, hav i
nig no warrants, shot to scare., aiv’

the negroes got faster.
They ran the gang out rs two gooc'

made their escape except Clarence ,
Brown, from whose person was taken
a nice sum of money a high-priced
watch and charm set with seven dia

hat to Do With 1925 Crop Money
The Progressive Farmer.
1. Every farmer who has been try
ing to make a living by working w’ith
only one horse—which is just as bad
as if be were trying to work with
only one arm—ought to put aside
enough extra money to buy an extra
horse. In like fashion farmers who
already have two or more horses may
also profitably increase their horse
power.
2. Farmers who do not have to put
aside money either to avoid time prices
or to increase horsepower should firs'
of all consider what improved equip
ment is necessary to increase their
earning power and Vaen give the-pref
erence to such “productive purchases"
-; - ather than consumptive purchases
3. Next after producing expendi
tures should come purchases that have
yiermanent value in promoting the
daily comfort and efficiency of the
farm household—paint, light,- water
works, music, etc.

Lacy and Sister Connemara j
watched his movements witn inter
est. The night had already offered
such proof of the abundance of its I
sensations that they had both ar- j
rived at a state of acceptance suck j
as Alice must have reached whet;
she rose from the Mad Hatter’s tea j
party.. Nor was their trust to b«
abused.
The check suit squeezed along the l
side of the Isotta. Without so i
much as a glance at the occupants |
of the front seat, it opened the real i
door and calmly unbuttoned the ]
floor carpet of the tonneau. A swift | (
searching hapd was inserted undei j
the loose corner—a long band witb ! J
thin, tapering fingers, quite out ol j 1
keeping with its home torso, a hand j \
that might sever a watch from its '
chain or a baby from its mothei
without the owners of either o'
these articles being in the least j
aware of their loss.
When it reappeared it gripped be- i
tween an unlaundered thumb andlij
TSrefinger a second torn bit of pa- i
per. This (he owner of the hand I j
compared with the piece which he i
had taken from his pocket. Then i
carefully and deliberately he placed j ]
the two torn ends together. The i
jagged ends fitted like neighboring j
bits of a picture puzzle.
The knuckles of Constance t
Mary's hand showed white from \
the tenseness of her grip on the side 'i
of the car. The soft material ol '
her mask reflected her short, sharp
breathing. The color had left La- j ]
cy’s face. He stared at the fantas- '
tic stranger-with the horrified glare |
of one who has just witnessed the 1
execution of agh stly and foul deed (
The performer, on the other hand, 1
registered relief on every crimson i
feature. “I’m Pooch.” he admitted 1
with a bright smile, and then added, i
“Thank God.” either in gratitude for j
his identity or for some unknown '
and extraneous reason. Without ;
further introduction he climbed i i
through the open door of the ton- j]

Lacy glanced at Sister Connema- j“
ra. Her gaze was fixed on him so
intently that Jus own dropped be
fore it and he focussed his attention
on this second addition to his even
ing’s entertainment. ” j '
“So you’re Pooch?” he said final
ly, not so much because he doubted
as from an uneasy feeling that the
conversation must be maintained.
"In the flesh,” boasted Mr. Pooch
“Cast your peepers over the pass- j
ports.”
He handed the two slips of pa pet :
to Lacy. Under the hooded dash
board fight the' man and the girl I
examinee- them curiously They ■
were two parts of a sheet ,torn from
a pad of cheap, ruled writing pa- i
per. On cither half was printed a j
number which corresponded with j
the license number of * Lacy's I car |
On the reverse side of each hall I
was wrritten “Sllist” and under- J
neath this was drawn a crude
ckor around which a snake had ap- j
parently retired for the night.
“Here’s the rest on it,” said Mr.
Pooch, and bending over the front j
seat he injected a hairy forearm in- j
to the tiny circle of light. On the !
inner side of the limb was neatly j
engraved a small blue anchor pas
sionately embraced by a sea serpent,
“Guess y’ can’t object to that,"
said Mr. Pooch complacently.
Lacy looked from the ttSo bits of '
paper to the white shrouded head
beside his, back to the rear seat
where a' luminous glow indicated
the unhandsome features of Mr.
Pooch, along the shiny bonnet of
the car to the tail light of the truck
ip front, and back to the papers.
Through his mind for the second
time that evening passed
memories of other red-letter days,
and nights, of his life—doing the
Human Fly across the front of a
Venetian palace while the siren ob
ject of his Lloydian amours mocked
him with' Virginia tobacco rings
from window to window; thrilling
days in the souvenir belt of New
Guinea, carving over-congenial go- ;
rillas in the privacy of his tent; a
scientific .experiment to prove the
theory that one American is as good
as six Frenchmen, conducted in an
open-air laboratory off the wharves
of Brest. [
