Right to Its Name Al

Washington, July 24.— UP) —Henry
Ford has lost a fight to have the name
jof his automobile eliminated from a
I brand of cigars and stogies.
Denying the application of the
Ford Motor Company to cancel the
| registration of the brand of John A.
McAdoo, of Charlotte, N. C, the pat
ent office haa held that a corporate
name may be registered as a trade
mark when used in goods differing
from those manufactured by another
corporation of the same name.
"It must be remembered that the
word ‘Ford* is not .necessarily cpn
fined to tlie corporate name of the
petitions," tlie decision said. “It is
a common word of our language,”
used not only as a name for many
persons, but also ns a common noun
and as a verb.
The decision also held that even
though the Lincoln Product Co.,
manufacturing automobile parts might
be confused with the Lincoln Motors
Co., owned by the Ford interests, it
should be permitted to keep its name,
nnasmuch as its products do not com
pete directly with the products of the
Lincoln Motor Co.

Governor of Kentucky Approves Her
Action Because of Slander on the
Bobbed Haired Women.
Frankfort, Ky., July 23—Gover
nor Felds today pardoned Miss Mar
tha Bates,_ of Letcher county, who
slapped Rev. Arlie Brown, Baptist
preacher, after he criticized bobbed
haired women. •
On May 2nd the governor granted
Miss Bates a stay of execution of a
portion of the 40-day jail sentenced
given her in Letcher county circuit
court. At that time the governor
said he wished to investigate the
case.
“I am convinced from the investi
gation made that the preacher, Arlie
Brown, with whom Miss Bates be
came involved, which resulted in her
conviction, made the statement that
no virtuous woman would wear bobbed
hair or words to that effect, for
which statement Miss Bates slapped
his jaws,” Governor Fields said in
his pardon.
“I approve of the action of Miss
Bates in resenting the alleged re
marks.”
No Tax Bills to Be Mailed Out.
(By International News Service)
New Orleans, La , July 24. —Tax-
payers of New Orleans will have to
go to the city hall this year to ascer
tain how much they owe the munici
pality for 1926 by city taxes, accord
ing to announcement of William
Daly, eity treasurer. No tax bills
will be mailed out in future.
Daly said that last year the city
spent $5,000 for printing and post
age to make out and mail bills to
property owners, but 70,000 of the
statement were returned unclaimed to
the city hall, either because of wrong
addresses or because tenants received
the bills and sent them gleefully back
to the city instead of forwarding them
to landlords. »
So now Daly will put it up to the
taxpayer himself to call at his office
and learn the sad news. Taxes are
payable after August Ist.

GIRL PAROLED
Governor McLean BeUeyes She Will
MahK a Useful CLtiksii. ‘
.» Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, July 24.—" There’s a girl
that's been saved for and returned
to society ; she's still young and will,
I believe, make a useful citizen." said
Governor McLean as Mollie Wagon
er, paroled from a 25-year maximum
sentence received for infanticide,
started to her home in Virginia Fri
day.
There has been but few times that
execlutive clemency received sucli ex
hubriant appreciation from tlie pa
roled prisoner ns happened ill the
case of the 23-year-old Wagoner girl.
Given her freedom Thursday after
noon, Mollie paid an A unexpected visit
to the executive mansion Friday
morning.
“I cannot express my appreciation,
governor,’ said the girl whose eyes
were filled with tears as s',ic shook
Mr. McLean's hand, "but I'm going
straight back to' my people and I
promise you I won’t get into trouble
again.”
Before she left Raleigh the Wag
oner girl made a poifit of visiting and
thanking all State officials who have
been kind to her. She said that her
treatment at tlie prison had been
“wonderful” and she left feeling that
there was still a chance left for her
in the world.
Mollie Wagoner, according to in
formation discovered by Pardon Com
missioner H. Hoyle Sink who made
l the investigation of her case, was an
, inexperienced mountain girl who was
j lured to Winston-Sa'.em by a map
who promised to marry her. Later
there was a child and the man, who
received a 30-year sentence for his
act, killed it. According to ail evi
dence, Mollie’s crime at worst was
that of aequienseence. However, she
received a sentence of from 18 to 25
years. She had -served two years of
her time and made an excellent rec
ord at the prison.
I “I like the way you have expressed
! your appreciation,’ the governor told
the girl, “and I believe that you are
going to make good.”

NORTH CAROLINA LEADS
IK COTTON YIELD PER ACRE
I Due to on Educational Campaign
i Among Cotton Growing Farmers.
Tribune Bureau
! ' • Sir Walter Hotel
j Raleigh, July 24.—That North j
■Carolina's premier position among,
I cotton growing states in the matter
of yield per acre is due to constant ■
research and experiment followed up
l by a never ceasing educational cnm
j paign among the cotton growing
j farmers is pointed out in a special
article prepared for this bureau by
Frank Parker, crop statistician of the
State department of agriculture.
To Dr. R. Y. Winters, director of
the State’s form experiment stations,
goes a large amount of the credit for
this work, says Mr. Parker. For
years he has made a constant study
of cotton varieties and has studious
ly checked the yields of every sort in
every, soil and climate.
Cotton growing states of the Sout’li
predicted until very recently that
North Carolina's "bragging" would
come to an abrupt halt when the boll
weevil worked his way this far north.
But tfie boll weevil came and per
meated the state and the yield per
here was still good. The cotton
scientists had counted on his eventual
presence and were as well prepared
for him as was possible to be wit’ll
the knowledge at hand.
Mr. Parker's article follows:
For many years the per acre yield
of cotton in North Carolina has av
eraged about 250 pounds. It was
natural for low yielding states to be
dubious of those yields, but they ar
gued that with boll weevil infesta
tion, the bragging would cease. For
the last few years, the yield has con-1
tinued to be over one-half bale per
acre. As compared with this, Texas
has averaged less than 130 popnds,
while the cotton belt as a whole av
eraged 163 last year and 157 the year
before.
Dr. R. Y. Winters, at presept di
rector of the North Carolina experi
ment stations, has for years made the
improvement of cotton varieties Ills
hobby. He has gained national rec
ognition in this work. His plan was
to have test farms in all of t'iie im
portant cotton counties s# thnt these
it-oHld -not only..he object] .lessons but
centers for the distribution of the
best yielding varities. As a result,
there are now several of these pure
seed variety testing farms in most
of the counties and wherever one goes
an intelligent idea.is evident on the
part of almost every farmer regard
ing the best yielding varieties of cot
ton.
In collaboration with Dr. Winters,
the State department of agriculture
sent out an inquiry to 0.000 cotton
growers over the North Carolina cot
ton belt whi til resulted in excellent
reports showing that over 65 per
cent, of the cotton acreage is plant
ed to the big boll type of cotton com
-1 posed primarily of the Cleveland and
Mexican varieties. These varieties
are not only high yielders, but are
considerably above the average in
length and textile strength of the
staple. The area having the largest ’
percentage ofi Obese best varieties is
in the southeastern and northeastern
parts of the state where the largest
percentage of the cotton is grown.
According to these estimates and
to actual yields obtained from Dr.
Winters' several hundred breeding
farms, together with the farmers us
ing his seed last year, we have the (
following: Cleveland 25 per cent, of j
the acreage and 535 pounds yield per j
acre ; Wannamaker-Cleveland 25 per |
cent, and 536 pounds; Mexican 15
per cent, and 570 pounds; then comes
Cook with 6 per cent, and 449 pounds
yield ; Half and Half, 5 per cent, and
486 pounds; King 5 per cent, and
465 pounds; Rucker or Rook. 3 per
cent, and 492 pounds: Heavy Fruit
er 2 per cent, and 417 pounds, while
all others include 14 per cent, of the
cotton acreage and 440 pounds of
lint per acre.
Dr. Winters is convinced that there
is probably a greater percentage in
the first three varieties named. At
any rate, this is self-evident that
North Carolina is approaching the
ideal in its cotton variety work by
growing the best yielding and the
best textile type of lint varieties.
This alone to a large extent explains
why she leads in the yield per acre.
Os course, it may easily be under
stood that certain varieties grow
best under certain soil and climatic
conditions. It does not necessarily
follow that these big boll varieties
produce best yields everywhere in the
state.

In Statement For Chicago!
Newspaper Scott Says!
He Told Lie at First to
“Save His Neck.”
RUSSELL SCOTT
FOUND GUILTY
Robert Scott Sentenced to!
Prison While His Broth
er Has Been Sentenced
to Pay With Life.
Chicago, July 24.—(A s )—The cele
brated case of Robert and Russell
Scott, convicted murderers, which has
spectacularly surged its way through
the couits here for many months came
to the attention agn’n today with a
statement by Robert to tbe Herald &
Examiner thnt he fired the shot that
slep Joseph Mauer, a drug clerk.
Robert. who was returned here
from a California prison, recently
pleaded guilty to the murder before
Judge Win. N. Commill. and was sen
tenced to life imprisonment after he
had denied on the stand that he fired
the fatal shot. In his statement to the
pai>er he declared "I lied to save my
neck."
His elder brother Russell, about
whom has revolved some of the most
intricate legal maneuvers in American
jurisprudence, earlier pleaded guilty
also, was seutenced to death, with
drew the plea, was found guilty by a
jury, and after a half dozen trials and
reprieves, now is awaiting death on
the gallows in October.
That the purported confession of
Robert will result in new legal war-
I ware to save Russell from the noose
seems certain. The possible effect of
Robert's statement was being discuss
ed in legal circles here, the Herald &
Examiner quoting authorities on
criminal law declaring that nothing
could be done to change his life sen
tence to one of death.
The courts have lost jurisdiction
over the ease as far ns the murder is
concerned, they believe. The opinion
likewise was held that the courts are
done with Russell, and the statement
cannot help him directly, although it
was pointed out that he could be par
-dened by . the Governor.
Russell read Robert’s statement
with tears. “I always knew that
some day he would tell the story," he
said. "And I always knew where
Robert was. The night I was in the
death cell I knew that Robert was in
the penitentiary in California.”
Russell denied he had ever laid the
blnme for the killing at Robert's
door, although he was generally quot
j ed in the newspapers as having ac
cused his brother before Robert was
found in prison. (
Robert's declaration, printed in the
newspaper over his signature, contain
ed what purported to be a complete
description of the scene in the City
Hall Pharmacy on the night of April
2, 1924, when Mauer was slain.
According to Robert, the slaying
resulted from a quarrel over a 15 cent
package of cigarettes with no robbery
j motive involved.
The alleged statement said that
Robert in company with Russell, went
to the basement of the store for a
drink of liquor. Later he went up
stairs to obtain cigarettes, engaging in
a fist fight with Muuer when the lat
ter accused him of failing to pay for
I the tobacco. They fell to the floor, he
| said, continuing:
j "He knocked, m.v head against the
i floor and I reached in my right hand
I hip picket and drew out a gun and
.after Mauer had knocked my head a
few times against the floor and I re
alized that m.v head would be smashed
iu a minute, I raised the gun over
the back of Mauer and fired.”
Russell then came upstairs, he said,
and the two escaped. Russell was
captured the next day, but Robert
was not found until many months lat
er, in California prison under an nR
, sumed name.
Keeping Eggs Young.
New York, July 24.—The "expec
tation of life” of the humble break
fast egg has been greatly increased
by a recent discovery. The new se
cret of keeping an egg young is, ap
parently, to “gas” it.
Eggs arriving fresh from the farm,
provided they pass a “candling” test
—in which they are taken into a
darkened room and examined before
powerful electric lamps—are stored
by thousands in enormous steel cham
bers called “autoclaves,” as large as ,
ships’ boilers, where they are pre-1
Herved in cold storage in a mixture
of antiseeptin gases.
These gases, which are absorbed by
the porous shells, have the effect of j
sterilizing the eggs and keeping them
so fresh that after several monthß—
or even several years—they remain
"as good as new-laid,”
