Albemarle Press. - Superintendent M. S.

This number is reduced this year to 11. In 1925, 258 had regular hours for retiring. The number has increased this year to 378. x Os the number enrolled, there are 13 who do not eat breakfast every morning, and 483 are regular as to this. Those drinking two glasses of milk, at least, each day numbered 271 last year; this year, 339; those drinking at least three glasses of water per day have increased from 39C in 1925 to 471! t'ais year. Coffee drinkers have been reduced from 177 to 126. About 5 per cent, are shown to suffer from toothache. There were 88 sufferers last year against 77 this, and 423 claim immunity from tooth ache. The eyesight of 20 was bad in 1925; only 15 this year being unable to sec all written work on the blackboard. In 1925, the hearing of 26 was bad ; only 18 of the 496 this year '.mve difficulty in hearing all their teacher says.* Last year, 288 used the tooth brush every day. The number has climbed to 394 this, with 102 confessing fail ure to observe this requirement. Bathing is showing a favorable in crease. Out of 460 in 1925 there were 159 w.io did not bathe at least twice a week. Out of 490 answers this year, 404 of the number bathe this often. Last year, only 209 carried hand kerchiefs with them each day; this year the number shows 331, with 165 yet on the coat sleeve or petticoat list. Records of weight this year show 325 normal and 171 contra. Thus is being obtained some very interesting statistics which in course of time will materially aid in cor recting many failures to regard or dinary rules of health. The schools are endeavoring to obtain correct data, and wherever possible to see that the child in need of treatment gets the attention of competent physicians. Those interested should tile this report away for comparison with the one a year hence.

The young Spaniard might add Interest to this evening—and to ethers. The cavalcade rode on. Back In the house before which the Borgias and their train had paused, and laughed, a girl sat waiting. Young, pretty, desired by many men, Trusla, sister of the Duke Margisi, found this a new experience, this waiting for a man. Saif an hour she would not have minded, but this matter of waiting while time slipped on, marking off one hour, two—that was different Bhe was almost In tears.

That assurance made her happy again for a moment She turned again to the garden, and Pedrillo. behind her back, glanced furtively, anxiously, at the closed door lead ing to Don Juan’s rooms. As she faced him again he had a sudden Inspiration. Living with Juan brought them frequently. “If I might presume—perhaps your ladyship might better not wait It may be a matter of bours —if the friend is very ill. Some times he is out all night slttinp up with a sick friend —” Trusla shook her head and went Into the anteroom. Probably he would come In by that way; she would sit where she could see him the Instant he arrived. She wished that she could wait In the street could hurry up It to meet him when she saw him coming. | Pedrillo shrugged his shoulders helplessly; then, as she left the room, tiptoed to the door of Juan’s sleeping apartment and listened for an instant, his ear close to the wood.

Pedrillo looked at her with that same shocked surprise that had ! been so effective a few moments 1 before with Trusla. His words, also, were the same. r “Madonna!” he exclaimed. “You f are the one love of his life." And this woman, like the other, 1 was satisfied. v She turned away, not quite be lieving him. yet wanting to, and as she went back to her palanquin Pedrillo went Into the house, tell- 1 Ing himself that he had handled 1 that situation neatly.

Anti-French Propaganda. Raleigh News and Observer. * Senator Caraway talked too much. Immediately n|«in his return from France he advised the American I/cgion not to go to Paris next year because of desecrating graven of American soldiers by Frenchmen. The French naturally entered indig nant denial nnd demanded proof or apology. The Senator says Chat dur ing a committe hearing some months ago Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, gave him the information which be broadcasted. As he turned it loose upon his arrivnl from France, the natural inference was that lie knew what he wan talking about. He should offer apologies. Even’if some few and incon spicuous "lewd fellows of the baser sort” in France had been guilty of desecration, it would be wrong to visit such crime upon a whole na tion. There has been a poisoning of the public mind in the United States against France since the war. France has made many mistakes. Some of its speakers have apoke.n unwisely and unfairly. But it is wholly impos sible that the French people should deserate the graves of their Ameri can comrades. It is tilting nnd proper that the American Legion should hold its re union in France, the country which came to our rescue in the War of the Revolution nnd with whose sol diers Americans fought side by side in the World War, This country has failed in its duty so signally and lives in bo large a glass -house it is in no position to criticize and throw stones at France. The I-egion has no sympathy with anti-French propa ganda and should give evidence of it by carrying out its original ide* of going to France in 1927. Raman Nature. Monroe Enquirer. < A clever Union county farmer a few weeks ago told me he had more land than he needed—couldn't pos sibly cultivate it. One day last week he told me that one of his neighbors had encroached upon him to the ex tent of more than an acre. “Igp’t that the same land that you told me you had too much to culti vate?” I Inquired. “Yes.
