It is sufficiently hard to be safe from accidental scratching, yet flexible enough to bend under stress to a marked extent without fracture.

Raleigh, Jan. 21.—1 t costs ten cents a mile to operate an automo bile. the state salary and wage com mission has officially determined. Under a ruling of the commission, state departments may adow em ployes who use their own machines on official business 10 cents for every ' mile a car runs. That is intended to cover actual running charges and depreciation. The cost estimate is based on re ports from several big business en terprises, who follow the policy of having their men supply their own cars, and from the experience of the state highway commission. in commenting on the ruling to day, Secretary H. Hoyle Sink said the commission recognized that the cost of running a Ford a mile would not be so great ns running a Pack ard, but that it would not be entire ly advisable to discriminate between an employe who chose to use a Ford for traveling and one who preferred a Packard, since the muchines were furnished bytbe employes and not by the state. The expense mileage does not ap ply, of course, in cases where the state owns the ear. Most of the de partments having traveling employes have abandoned the policy of supply ing the machines and have found it more practicable to let the employes furnish their own. The mileage cost as figured by the commission is six and a half cents greater than either raflroad or bus fare, and it was indicated that departments will be encouraged to have their employes use these means wherever practicable.

The executive committees of those organi zations which are not scheduled to meet in the immediate future are to be called together, it is said, and since they have authority to act, their ac tion is expected to be final in paeh organization. There was not a dissenting vote at the D. A. R. meeting when the sug gestion was made that the chapter go on record as opposing tile name "Hotel Concord," and there was unan imous approval to the suggestion that the hostelry be called "The Stephen Cabarrus.” / The name “Hotel Concord” gives no distinction to the hostelry, it is ar gued by the women of the D. A. R. and at the same time it fails to give recognition to any of the illustrious men who played sueh important parts in tiie early history of the county. Furtherfore, argued the woman, the hotel movement was a countywide one and it is nothing but fair that the name be one that will give recogni tion to the people of the county who subscribe stock, in the building com pany.
