— ASSOCtATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI THREE COMES TO REDUCE PRICES ON SCHOOL BOOKS Prices on Books in Tennes see Are to Be Made Ef-| fective in North Caro-j lina, It Is Explained. j MEETING TO BE HELD TONIGHT Three Out of the Five) Publishers Have Already Agreed to Make Prices Coriform. Tribune Bureau , Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Aug. 20.—Three of the five text book publishers who have con tracts in North Carolina will change their contracts to make the retail prices conform with those new in ef fect in Tennessee, and which in some cases are lower than in this state, but the other two companies will probably bold out for the existing con tract, and the state may have to sue, iMs believed today by those familiar with the situation, though no member of the State board of education would comment on the situntioh. pending the meeting of the board tonight at 8 o'clock with representatives of the va rious publishers. The publishers have a'ready been instructed by wire to give their representatives full power to act for them at the meeting to night. and it is still hoped by some of tlje members of the board that all will agree to make the Tennessee contract prices effective in North Carolina, and every effort will be made to this end. However, if any of the publishers de cline to do this, the board is convinced that it has an excellent case and will not hesitate to bring suit to compel the application of the Tennessee price scale in this state. Two definite developments have come out of the text book situation in the last few days: first—The board of education is convinced that according to its con tract with t’ae publishers, school chil dren in North Carolinu are entitled to buy their text books at the same prices which Tennessee children pay for them, despite some other .minor technical changes in the form of the contract*, and; .. 'Bemid—Tmff every effort Is to be made to give the school (fiildren the benefit of the lower prices as soon as possible, so that efforts are being made to make the Tennessee price lists ef fective immediately. For this reason it is hoped that it will not be necessary to go iuto court, but that the publishers will agree vol untarily to put the new prices into effect in North Cnrolina immediately. That is why final action on the part of ;*iie publishers is almost demanded nt the meeting tonight. There are a number of factors in the text book situation that have served to make it one of considerable Complication, according to A. T. Allen, state superintendent of public instruc tion, who was appealed to in an effort to get the salient facts in the case. The first considerated in the matter is the difference in the form of the contract with North Carolina and Tennessee. The contracts for books for North Carolina stipulate only the selling price to the individual school ehild—the final retail price. In Ten nessee. the eontraet quotes two prices, both the wholesale price, at the books are sold by the publishers, to the dealers, and also the retail price at which the books are sold to the school children. And these retail prices vary from one cent to seven teen cents less per book than the prices at which the same books are sold to the school children in Nortn Carolina, although in the majority of cases, the prices are the same under both contracts. The difference ip the method of dis tribution in the two states also enters into the matter. In North Carolina the books are shipped by the publish ers in consignments generally of car load lots, to the State depository and sub-depositories, and the dealers in the smaller towns and cities order the books they need from these de positories. The resplt is that no matter how many books are ordered, or by how many different publishers, they can be shipped in one package from the depository, thug lessening the 'handling and freight or express charges. It also saves much time for both the dealer and the Bchool children, as rush orders may be filled and returned by the depository within a day or two, while if the order bad to go to New York or Boston it would requite much longer. The State board of education re gards tile depository as being of dis tinct service in the better distribution of the books and desires to keep this system, according to Mr. Alien. The publishers also approve of the deposi tory because it enables them to ship in carload lots. But while the publishers admit that the North Carolina system Os handl ing the books is superior to the Ten nessee method, where the books are shipped direct from the publishers to the individual merchants handling them all over the atate, they are un willing to make the prices in the Ten nessee contract effective in the North Carolina contract unless North Caro lina will change over and adopt the Tennessee contract in its entirety, which would mean the abolition of the depositories over the State—-and that is what the North Carolina board does not want to do.

New York, Aug. 26.—G4>)—The at tention of the cotton trade appeared to be divided between the fear of pos sible storm damage to the eastern belt crop, and prospects of clearing and more favorable weather in the south west during today's enrly trading in the market here. The opening was steady at a decline of 4 to 7 points under realising, southern and local selling, promoted by relatively easy early rabies from Liverpool, and the forecast for fair weather in Texas and Oklahoma. October contracts sold off to 17.88 and January to 17.92, net declines of about 6 to 10 points, but the tropical stoVm threat along t'.ie Louisiana coast brought in some buy ing and the market soon rallied. By the end of the first hour October was selling at 18 cents, with the market about 3 to 6 points net higher. Cotton futures opened steady, Oct 17.93; Dec. 17.92; Jan. 17.97; March 1815; May 18.24, Total consumption of ice cream in the United States last year was 322,- 729,000 gallons, or more than two gallons for every man, woman and child in the country, not want to make these changes in the North Carolina contract is because they have similar contracts in South Carolina, Mississippi and Arkansas, nnd the minute they consented to change the terms of the contract in North Carolina, these other three states wiilch have contract identical with those of North Carolina, would immediately clamor to have their-con tracts changed—and of course, they would have to give them the same terms. \ Thus it is that the publishers main tain that the higher prices charged in North Carolina are justified be cause ill this state they are parties to the distribution of the books to the school children, and maintain that in Tennessee this is not the case, their responsibility ending, as far as distribution is concerned, when an or der has been filled and delivered to the carrier. But • careful reading of the Ten nessee contract does not bear out this contention, first, because both whole sale and retail prices are quoted, and because specific mention is made of distribution and delivery of the books to the individual school children, as in the North Carolina contract. So it is that the board of education is most hopeful Ahat the majority ot the publishers, if not all of them, will voluntarily consent to make the prices quoted in Tennessee contract the prices effective in North Carolina as well - . jjjji VALENTINO LYING IN STATE '-‘'ip IIIIISh jf jfflj H|; V- i v ■N m—\ ; ~Y*. 1 *- C ’’-; Y •* y " ,l 11 I’hoto shows the body of ligd olph Valentino as it appeared lying in state in the Campbell Funeral Pnr | lore.

Old Money That’s “No Good.”- Tribnne Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Aug. 26—Although their < better judgment tells them it is worth- i less, people w'lio still have “old I money”, sometimes Confederate and sometimes of State issue, still hope that it may be good and are continu- 1 ally sending it in to Raleigh, either to I the State treasurer or to the auditor, asking if it is “good.” i Today Baxter Durham, State audi- i tor, brought hi a handful of-old, faded i nnd much soiled money, issued by the i State of North Carolina in 1862, and i asked State Treasurer Ben R.

ITALIAN S~CLASH OVER FAVORITE j In the Future Only Friends and Associates Will Be Allowed to View Body* of the'Screen Sheik. New York, Aug. 26. —OP)—Rudolph Valentino's body was barred from pub | lie view today to avoid further disord- I ers among tile thousands who have flocked to the screen idol's bier, and also to avert clashes between rival ! groups of Italian admirers. ! “Normal decorum and dignity now prevail at the Frank E. Campbell ' funeral church,” says an advertise i ment in today’s papers. Attendants I had said the occasion was being trans formed into a “three-ringed circus.” j Plans for a public funeral Monday have been abandoned, and the cere monies will be attended by invited guests only. “From now on,” said S. George Ull man, friend and business manager of the star, “Valentino’s body will be viewed only by friends and associates finder my personal supervision. The lack of reverence, disorder and riot ing since the body was first shown have forced me to this decision.” A queque resembling a football snake dance was formed for six blocks along Broadway nnd side streets yes terday under police supervision after the near riots of the day before. Cross-town traffic was blocked by a line four or five abreast that crawled along Broadway ami in and put of side streets until it was reduced to a sing'c file near the undertakers' es tablishment. One woman who stood in line five hours made three rounds of the ac tor’s bier, fainted each time, and was ordered by police not to return again. A weeping girl was found to have an onion in her handkerchief . Girls plied powder puffs and lip sticks as they neared the casket. Women fainted and became hysterical. Twenty mount ed police, 112 patrolmen, 12 sergeants and four lieutenants were required to handle the surging mass. Eight More Years of Life Possible by Correct Diet. Wiiliamston, Mass , Aug. 25.—8 y drinking more milk and eating less meat, man coitld add eight years to the “part of his life worth most to himself and to the world,” H. C. Sherman, professor of chemistry at Columbia University, told the insti tute of politics today. The adequate diet determined by recent research work in nutrition, he said, prescribes more milk and less meat to increase individual efficiency t and vitality. The public health move- ’ ment promises to augment the life span by eight years and this increase! could be doubled, Professor Sherman thinks, by a universal ifcift in diet, j Displeased With Court Action.

I (lty International News Service) j Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 26.—Love I that has carried them ('.trough a ca . jreer of crime, culminating in their | marriage in the shadow of the peni ' i tentiary, still flourishes behind gray ■ prison wa'ls and now promises to be instrumental in obtaining their re lease from prison on parole. I Pinning their hopes of happiness . on the action of the parole board at , the next meeting. Memphis’ bobbed " haired bandit and her bandit husband, now content themselves with seeing | one another once a week at the State prison at Nashville. They are Marion King, Mississippi ' heiress, who held up and robbed u down-town cafeteria for funds to re lease Ernest Strait, her bandit lover, I from jail on bond. , Ernest and Marion were sehoolday sweethearts. Their childhood days were spent on adjoining plantations in Mississippi. Marion’s foilfer died when she was young and she was taken to an orphan's home. When she became of age. a lnrge plantation had been left to her by the will of Jim King, who had adopted her as a baby. King was the sheriff at Tupelo. Miss., for many years. But when she returned to the scenes of her childhood. Ernest had gone. She sought him. He had fallen from the “straight and narrow” and was lending a life of crime in Memphis. Marion went to Memphis and found him in jail on robbery charges. Think ing only of him and t’ae S2OO needed to buy a bond that would release him from jail, she obtained a big pistol and held up a cafeteria and obtained the money. That night Ernest was free. But the police were hot on Ma rion’s trail. She was arrested and identified as the pretty bandit. From her cell in city prison she sought legal advice. Half of her plantation was sold and tier release on bond obtained. A few days before Marion’s trial, they were married. At one of the hardest fought legal battles in this section a jury sentenced Marion to serve five years in the State peni tentiary. Witnesses identified her by her big blue eyes and her pretty bobbed hair. Ernest wanted to go where she went. He pleaded guilty and also was sentenced to the penitentiary. Now they are both eligible for pa role. ' Their applications 'have been filed with the parole board. Once a week they are allowed to see one another—through a steel screen. For one hour each week they plan their future. Marion still owns half the planta tion. When they are free, they will settle down on file little plantation and fol low the “straight and narrow,” they both say.

S. Laffer ty in Whose Home It; j Was Deserted. I | LAUNDRY MARK IS ONLY CLUE Mark “J.IlIl” Found I in Several Dresfees Left With Baby Now at Con cord Hospital. A precious babe in swaddling clothing is being cared for temporarily at the (,’oneord Hospital while local officials endeavor to trace its parents and locate a home for it. The baby, a boy about three weeks 1 or a month old, wns left at the home of Dr. J. S. Lafferty some time during ' the night, its cries arousing the house hold at 4 o'eloek this morning. I'p- 1 on being awakened Mrs. Lafferty lis tened for n few minutes to the cries of the youngster, being unable to real ize that he was inside her home. 1 When the cries continued Mrs. Laf ferty went into the living room ams ; there found the bnbe resting comfort- 1 ably on a davenport. To insure his I safety the person who left lfm there had propped pillows about him, leav- < ing nearby a bottle of milk and n i , bundle of clothing. 1 It is through the clothing that of- ( fleers hope to trace the parents. Sev- i eral baby dresses, all showing signs < of having been worn and laundered several times, bear the laundry mark, | "J. N. H.” and the clothing was wrap- ] ped in the heavy craft paper almost ’ i universally used by laundries. 1 Mrs. Lafferty notified the police.of ' her find and officers on duty carried '■ , the babe to the Concord Hospital, 1 ; where already he has won his way ■ into the hearts of the nurses. He has been given a basket ill the baby's ward 1 i and this morning was quietly enjoy i ing the benefits found nt his new home. ‘ ■ The nurses at the hospital insist that , his name is “Jackie.” and they use that name in addressing him. The management of the Concord i Stenni Laundry stated this morning i that none of their regular customers has the mark “J. N. JI." Several i years ago a man at Harrisburg had the mark but he has been dead several ■ years, .it was stated, and all of the > laundry lie sent in was apparel for I men. Officers here, it is understood: have notified police officers in other cities • of the case and have asked that in- : 1 quiries be made in their cities to us- , l certain if anyone there lias the mark ; ’ found on the babe’s clothing. i So far as the officers can learn no ; one saw the person or persons who | 1 left the baby at the Lafferty home, ii , may be that the youngster stayed in i I the home some time before crying out. i i so it is impossible for the officers to i know the hour the home was 'entered. , 1 Officers also are unable to know whether the babe was left at the Laf ferty home on purpose or whether the > . person who deserted it entered the first j 1 door found open. j Due to the fact that many boarders , . stay at the Lafferty home the front ■ door is never locked aud it was easy , , for entrance to be matte there. Police are inclined to the opinion that the person who left the haby knew the j Lafferty home is a boarding house and , that the front door is always open. f One opinion expressed by officers is ( tht the babe was left by some one who ( had stayed for a day or so at the , Lafferty home and knew the kindly ( disposition of Mrs. Lafferty. ] In the bundle of clothes left, with v the boy are various sorts and sizes of f garments. At the hospital this morn- f ing the youngster was wearing a light weight flannel shirt, diaper and petti- s. coat that boasted of pink ribbons t across the top .and a bow oil one shoulder. He had been dressed in i clean clothing after reaching the hos- t pital and it was stated thut he was t wearing a dress as well as the other i garments when found. i All of the dresses had the mark “J. i i N. H.,” but the other clothes were not l . marked. There wt(s one apron-dress i , in the package, several ]iettieoats and l about two dozen diapers. Some of the dresses are large enough for a , two-year-old child and all show that ’ they have been worn and washed 1 many times. The clothing is not torn, 1 I and everything in the package un- ] doubtedly had just been returned from ' a laundry somewhere. Nurses who 1 ! examined the clothing expressed the opinion thut only one of the gar- I ments was hand-made. The baby shows no outward sign 1 of mistreatment. He is plenty plump, I his skin is fair and his eyes grey or ■ blue. When police officers went into 1 the ward to examine his clothing he ‘ uttered not a sound when he wns picked up and carried to a window j where the marks could be more easily read. When lie was placed back in his basket and covered with a blan- 1 ket he seemed entirely happy with the world. He had been fed after reach ing the hospital although the manner •!n which he held his fist to his mouth 1 indicated that he might have been 1 hungry again. Until officers have had time to make 1 their investigation- the haby will be left at the hospital. If they fail in their efforts to locate his parents it < is probable that they will try to get some couple here to adopt the boy. i The case has aroused unOsual In ter*** here, many persons expressing I: horror that anyone would be mean*i LEAVES MCdf' 1 MINUTE AND FAILS TO SHOW UP AGAIN J.

TROPICAL STORM IB LESS VIOLENT NOW One Death Reported In New Orleans as a Result of the Storm There. New Orleans, La., Aug. 26. —0 P )— One person was known to be dead and several others injured as a result of a tropical storm which swept New Or leans last night. The storm’s full force did not strike New Orleans. Weather Bureau of ficials said the maximum velocity of the wind was 44 miles an hour, and the force of the storm had diminished rapidly after it passed inland from the Gulf of Mexico. It was reported central today between Shreveport and Vicksburg. The first dentil from the storm came when a lineman was killed as he came in contact with a live wire. Other injuries reimrted early today were of a minor nature. Dieting May Become Method Used For Preserving Teeth. Philadelphia, Aug. 25.—Dieting, instead of dentistry, may be a future method of preserving the teeth, dele gates to the seventh international dental congress were told today. The discovery that dental ills may be remedied through scientific selection of foods is only recent, according to Dr. Bernhard Gottlieb, of the uni versity of Vienna, who added that the. full import of the relation of food to teeth has not yet been realiz ed. But within five or ten years, he said, teeth decay may be prevented by eating certain foods. “We have found,” he said, "That weight giving food which builds up the body tissues does not feed the teeth. We have been working along the most advanced scientific lines in an effort to isolate goods which will directly feed the teeth. It is too early to say that we are successful in this matter but experiments .with sea foods have encouraged us .to believe we are now on the right track.” Cabbage, brnssels sprouts and spinach were other foods named by Dr. Gottlieb as valuable "tooth builders.” Such foods as these, which do not contribute to bodily issue, nevertheless, contain lime salts that are the basis of tooth’s namel.
