factors in an opening decline of 2 to
8 points in the cotton market today.
A flurry of selling at the start was
absorbed around 18.55 for May and

resting orders and covering. Appre
hension that the good weather report
in the belt yesterday would be follow
ed by showers over the week-end prob
ably promoted some of the buying.
The volume of business tapered off
after the first selling orders had been
executed, but the market was steady

Withdraw Cliarge Against Sidna Al
ien.
Charlotte, April 30.—The federal
district attorney’s office here today
withdrew the detainer pending for
years against Sidna Allen, of Vir
ginia, according to announcement by
Kenneth J. Kindley, assistant dis
trict attorney. Mr. Kindley said the
charge against Allen in this district
was perjury, which grew out of his
testimony in his trial on a charge of
counterfeiting in district court at
Greensboro years ago. Allen was ac
quitted of the counterfeiting charge
and soon thereafter tried and con
victed on a charge of perjury, ac
cording to Mr. Kindley. Allen ap
pealed and it was while the appeal
was pending and Allen was at Lib
erty under bond that the shooting at
Hillsvilie, Va., occurred.
Mr. Kindley said that should the
government decide to prosecute on
the perjury charge against, Allen
c uld be re-arrested.
Southern Methodists Expect New
Unification Discussion.
j Memphis, Tenn., May I.—(A 5 ) —
; Further discussion of the question of
I unification will be one of the princi
pal issues before the twentieth ses
sion of the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
which begins here May sth.
The conference is Che ruling body
of the ehurch and is composed of both
clerical and lay leaders, many of
whom expect a controversy over the
proposed appointment of a new uni
fication commission to deal with a
similar body from the Northern
church.
TLiere is little possibility of any
change in major policies in the ehurch,
loaders snid. but the “fundamental
j ist" question again may eoifie up.
■ Among the other major subjects to
' come before the conference is the elec
tion of two nefr bishops, reorganiza
tion of the general, boards and the re
arrangement of church publications.
FOREIGN DEBTSTO
UNITED STATES 10
BE CLEARED SOON
It Is Stated That Agree
ment Has Been Reached
For Funding of Debt of
Jugo-Slavia.
FRENCH READY
TO MAKE LOAN
As Soon as Congress Ap
proves Debt Plan It Is
Believed Private Loan
Will Be Sought Here.
Washington. May I.— UP) —An
agreement was reached today for the
funding: of the $51,000,000 war debt
of .Ingo-Sl.'ivin to this country.
‘The settlement apparently complet
ed the adm in ist ration's war debt fund
ing program so far as it will be pos
sible to do for the present. The Jugo
slavian terms providing like the others
for payment over a long period of
yjar.B. is expected to go to the capital
with a request for ratification at this
session of Congress, and to take its
phiCe there immediately behind the
newly negotiated agreement with
France.
These two are the only settlements
now awaiting Congressional approval,
settlements with Italy. Belgium and
four other countries having been re
cently ratified.
Uiissin and several smaller coun
tries have not yet funded their war
borrowings here, but the diplomatic
situation and other considerations
make negotiations of settlements with j
these nations unlikely for the time
being.
Settlements of the French has op
ened the way to France to negotiate
for private loans in the United States
with the consent of the Washington
government.
High administration officials dis
closed today that the Federal gov
ernment would approve of stu n loans
by American bankers without wait
ing for ratification by the Senate of
the debt funding agreement.
Thus far no request for private or
other loans to France has been refer
red to Washington by American finau-;
cicrs.
France is in need of a reserve
for franc stabilization purposes, how
ever. aud negotiations for an advance
of prvate American capital is re
garded as probable.
Under tSie settlement reached today
with Jugo-Slavia. that country will
pay a total of $05,177,035. principal
and interest, over a period of sixty
two years.
Payments will start at $200,000 a
year for the first five years, increas
ing to $375,000 which will be paid
annually for the last fifty years.
Interest charge* will be dropped
for the first twelve years. There
after they will begin at one-eighth of
one per cent, for three years and then
increase gradually to 3 1-2 per cent,
which will be the rate during t’lie last
twenty-seven years.
The American negotiators, it was
said at the treasury, took into ac
count that Jugo-Slavia is one of the
poorest countries in Europe and was
overrun three times during the war.
Wooden Leg Wonders.
London, May 1. —Recent questions
in Parliament regarding the supply
of artificial limbs to ex-soldiers drew
from the Minister of Pensions some
illuminating statistics and facts
bearing on the feats accomplished by
one-legged men. One interesting re
velation was that it is seldom now
adays that a man who has lost a
limb is unable to return to his
regular employment, so great have
been recent advances in the design
ing and making of artificial legs and
arms. One man minus a leg has
driven a motor-car upwards of 300.-
000 nub's without an accident.
Another man, similarly placed, takes
part in motor-racing lonteats.

Dl PED BY SHINGLE SHARKS
rnscrupulou* Sharks Quick tc Take
Advantage of Vogu For Bobbed
Hair.
New York. May I.—Unscripulotis
sharks have been quick to take ad
vantage of the vogue for bobbed or
shingled hair. They have started
bogus schools, where they pretend
that they can teach the whole art of
hairdressing in a short intensive
course, for a substantial fee.
| They also hold out the prospect of
I profitable employment, with earnings
f that are' supposed to range from
j twenty-five to seventy-five dollar* a
week, at the end of such a course,
j Many of these schools,' as shown by
j investigation, are simply booby-traps.
I Expert* declare that hairdressing
cannot be learned in a few weeks, or
even in a few months, neither can
one particular item, such as shing
ling, Marcel, or water-waving, be
learned in a short, so-called “inten
sive course” It takes yeans of ex
perience. i
Different sorts of hair require dif
ferent sorts of treatment. For ex
ample. some people like a curly,
careless effect; others, a broad. Hat.
satiny wave; others, again, prefer a
crinkly, frizzy style. To know at
sight what, arrangement will best
suit each type of hair, aud to pro
duce these different effects, requires
skill, experience, and dexterity.
I Again, these is the element of time.
Only long practice enables: the hair
dresser to wave a head quickly and
thoroughly.
Further, it may be said that no
hairdresser with a good business and
a reputation to maintain will risk
losing his customers by handing
them over to half-trained and inex
pert bunglers. When, therefore, the
recruits come out of these bogus
schools, expecting to walk into nice
jobs at SSO a week, they find that
they can get no employment in first
class establishments. The best offer
| that they can get is to be taken on as
|an apprentice for a two or three
| years’ course, for which they will
’ have to put down a further fee.

Tribune Dtireau I
Sir Walter Hotel 1
Raleigh, May 1. —Interest in XoiTa
Garc'lnn is widespread, judging by
the number of requests for informa- j
tion received by the various State
departments. From many paints
throughout the United States, and ev
en outside, letters have come and are
eoming to the department, of agrieul- 1
ture nuking for publications setting (
forth the natural resources of t’iie i
state, especially agricultural products. 1
j Commissioner <•£ Agriculture Wil- 1
liam A. Graham only recently receiv- j 1
j ed a request from G. S. Varma, gov- !
eminent horticulturist at Ganva Ni-h
I was, India, for his last biennial re-j
I port and a list of publications issued ,
by the North Carolina State depart-!
ment of agriculture. Also, there came
I a request from the alumni speaker >
for one of the leading universities of i
the South for information about the
state, the writer assuring Commission
er Graham "If you will furnish me .
with thifr information. I assure you ,
your state will come in for whatever (
boost I can give it as shown by these
comparative figures.”
Other conspicuous examples can be'
cited. For instance, the public]
schools of Alexandria, Va„ have ap-{■
parently been stressing a study of .
Xortli Carolina. Numerous pupils j
have written to that effect, their let
ters almost (invariably opening with .
“We are studying your state and we L
went you to send us some informa- t
tion about your natural resource-;.*' j
Also, numbers of letters have been ]
received from Richmond school chil- |
dren. Sometime ago. n class in j
Winder. Ga., schools made a special
study of North Carolina, as did a
class in the Chicago public schools. (
One child in a far northern state 1
wrote the North Carolina library com
mission asking for information on
“how they grow rice and indigo in
Raleigh.”
Then, there are scores of requests
for information (from farmers and
business men in other states and re
cent articles in magazines and news
papers of national circulation doubt-' ;
less will bring other inquiries.
Xortli Carolina, it is pointed out I
by those who have studied the situa-; 1
tion, has reached its present place of | j
prominence by utilizing its natural
resources.
Here is a strange fart: People be
gan knocking at North Carolina's
door before the state "hung out its
sign that it was doing business as
a progressive state. Not that it had '
not begun to progress. It had. but
the fame of its progress reached the
outside world on its own power be
fore North Carolina itself heralded it.
In fact, the state has not been muc’ii
given to outside boosting. Some
think it has not done enough of that i
sort of thing. That is one of the
reasons why Governor McLean, for
instance, wants a state owned broad
cast station established in Raleigh.
Os course, *liis principle purpose is
to enlighten the people on methods
for untilizing the vast stores of nat
ural resources that are theirs for the
digging, the picking, the mining and!
the plowing. However, he is not |
averse to letting the otuside world i
listen in. In fact, ’lie wants a sta-1
tion that will send its ethergrams be-!
yond the borders of this state. He
sees no reason why North Carolina i
should not "tell the world” in its own '
; native tongue. North Carolina Eng- j
' lisli is easily understood, super-intel- 1
1 | lectuals to the contrary notwithstand- j
! ing. and 'has good "carrying” qualities!
when given a chance.
Too, the word is waiting for the]
! message of the old North State. It [
•is begging for it. Magazines and '
, newspapers, when they write up its;
resources, only stir up the interest of
thousands of readers and immediate
ly they pass their plate for more, so
to speak.
Agriculture and industry are tlie
two principle things about which peo
ple inquire. Os course, they want to
know about climate and so on. but
what they are looking for is a place
where they can live and let live.

ain faces a general strike as a result J
of the coal miners strike against low- |
or wages and increased hours. . ''lj-tjß
Representatives of 203 trades uu
ions comprising 5,000,000 workers :J
with enormous financial resources met %
today and resolved to back up minpra ■
by ceasing work in all vital services
next Tuesday unless a settlement of
the miners* dispute is reached.
The government aroused by the
walkout of the miners, issued a procla- %
mat ion that a "state of emergency I
exists." This proclamation under the I
law gives the government almost un- |
limited powers to be exercises in pro-: |!
tec ting the general public from stif- M

Beneficial Farm Relief 818.
Washington, May 1. — UP)—Demo
cratic members from the cotton
during states initiated a series of con
ferences today in an effort to reach
an agreement on farm relief legisla
tion. All of the bills pending in |
both the Senate an the House- were i
discussed, but no decision was reach- l
ed. (lie conference adjourning until
Tuesday.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
presided and there was a full disetis- |
sion of the features of the Haugen |
bill which has the right of way in ’j
the House Tuesday when the whole |
question of agriculture aid is to be ’
taken up.
Tje South Carolina senator ex
plained that the purpose of the con- jt
ference was to reach a basis on which
senators from the cotton producing
states might go along with the sena
tors from the wheat and corn belts.
So far as senators generally arc
concerned, the main stmubling b’oek
to an agreement ou the Haugen bill
is the provision for levying an equal
ization fee against producers. ' j|
Some senators hold that this prqc ;
vision is unconstitutional and improv
ident, while others favor it as a real
means of solving the problem of sur
plus crops and price fluctuations. i
Besides Senator Smith, those at- ;
tending the conference were Senators j
Simmons and Overman. North Caro
