Ruler.
Berlin, June 21.— UP) —The vast

former German rulers nre safe from
confiscation. A national referendum
to decide whether the properties

necessary under the law.
It would have required the affirma
tive vote of 20,000,000 people totiave
taken away the property of the for
mer rulea. The affirmative vote was
14,880,708, and the negative vote was
542.311. Fully 00 per cent, of the
eligible voters stayed away from polls
while 36 per cent, endorsed uncon
ditional confiscation. More than 500,-
000 ballots were dee'.ared deficient.
Bavaria and other nationalist
strongholds rejected the conficention
proposal through abstaining from vot
ing. In the industrial centers such
as in Ruhr and in Saxony the pro
posal was given its diief support.

The proverbial traveling printer has
not yet gone down the way of for-

with sleeping quarters, printing press,
type and other accessories.
"We only solicit business from the
small towns where there are no
shops,” the veteran printer said. “We
drive up to a filling station and spend
money with them, and then if they
need any printing done, we solicit
their business, do the work on the
spot, collect and move on.”

Typlioid Now Becoming Rare.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Rnleigh, June 21.—Typhoid, once
one of the greatest scourges of North
Carolina in the number of lives that
it took yearly, is now rapidly becom
ing relatively rare in the stated ac
cording to the Stats board of health. I
In 1925 there were but 271 deaths
from typhoid in the entire State
which represented a rate of only 9.6
per 100,000, which is considered ex-1
ceedingly low. In 1914, however, I
before the bonrd of health began its
intensive educational campaign against
typhoid, under the direction of Dr.
G. JH. Cooper, at present acting State
health officer, there were 839 deaths
from typhoid, which represented a
rate of 39 per 100,000. Thia is but
one example of what has been ac
complished in the state by the board
of health in its educational work on
disease prevention. .

' Mrs. Stokes Beaver, of Kannapolis,
was severely rut and bruised in an
auto accident here last night and Mr.
Beaver suffered painful but less se

The accident attracted a big crowd
and it is reported that some of the

serious.

Two More Diseases to Be Reported.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, June 21.—Two more mal
adies have been added to the list of
reportable disease by the State board
of health, it was announced today by
Dr. G. 'M. Cooper, acting director.
These are malaria and infectious
dysentery. Beginning this coming
, week, physicians will be required to
| report ail of these cases attended to
t the local health officer, either city
I or county, who will in turn report
the number of cases to the State
board of health.
While neither malaria nor infec
tious dysentery will be quarantined,
, the board of health feels that the
I extent of these two diseases in the
■ state is such that an accurate record
should be kept so that later on it will
be possible to determine what progress
has been made in their control or vir
tual elimination. Heretofore the prin
cipal reportable disease have been
smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid, diph
theria, measles and whooping cough.
The records of these other two will
be kept almost entirely for compara
tive statistical study.

sa : d “If there ever was a time tft
the history of America when law. Sttod
order need to be maintained, lit tk
now. In this country we have
laws and just such law enforcement
as the majority of the people insi&ifc
upon having. If the laws are nojt en
forced it is because a majority of tb*
people are indifferent or too en&togß**
ed in tbeir own affairs. And wueti j
speak of law enforcement I aih hot
