three American companions were bc

for apparent . refuge in the Mexican
colonies of the steel district, but their
automobile broke down. They grabbed
a taxicab and still holding the deputy
sheriff, John Krinieli, started for south

AX INSTITUTION FOR j
WAYWARD BOYS AND GIRLS
Final Pians for Establishing the
“Junior Republic of the South.”
(By International News Service/
Atlanta. Ga.. Mareh 11.—Final
plans for the consummation of the
biggest undertaking ovPr tried by the
Joyeniie Protective Association, the
establishing of the "Junior Republic
of the South." n great industrial in
stitution for wayward boys and girls,
j are being made in preparation for the
! annual meeting of the association here
April 2nd. .
The movement, which was launched
several years ago. got no further than
the buying of a site, but satisfaction
at this accomplishment was expressed
in view of the demands on the time
and money of the officials in handling
successfully the many problems relat
ing to delinquent, children in the south.
With the imssibiiity of federal aid,
however, It is now believed that the
plans can be put through. Tiie site
owned by the association consists of
103 acres at Ben ITill, Ga... 14 miles
from Atlanta, which it is proposed to
tender the federal government should
legislation make it possible to obtain
funds for building and equipping the
institution.
"The Junior Republic of the South”
will be for both boys nnd girls, their
quarters being separated on the prop
erty. Although it is planned to have
a superintendent in charge, the insti
tution Will largely self-governed,
officials stated. Proyision will be
made for] school advantage* and the
teaching of trades nnd agricultural
pursuits.
“The Junior Republic" will be the
only institution of its kind in the
south, Rev. Crawford .Tnekson, general
secretary of the association, said. Sim
ilar institution* are located in the
north nnd west, and the southern in
stitution may be patterned nfter St.
George Republic in New York - , which
is nationally known for its work.
The children will work for what
they get, under prnjtnt plans, have
their own piny, laws, judges, jury,
penal system. They will be provided
with actual citizenship whim 14 years
old, provided they arc worthy.

But Three Types of Modern Girls I
Make Him Afrakl of Matrimony.
New Y'ork, .March 12.—The modern ]
girl is more alluring than any femi
nine type of history—nnd serious
minded. reasoning young men are
avoiding- lhutrimonj l more than ever
before.
That's the conclusion of a young
business man, eligible, earning $6,000
ft year, wHo, writing in Smart Set
magazine for April, points to three
types of girls ns his reasons for dodg
ing the marriage bond.
First of them, he says, is the one
"who believes that a girl has the same
right to freedom in her sex life ns
n mini. Not only believes it but says
so —nnd does so. for nil I know. May
be she will' make some man a mighty
good wife—but not me.”
No. 2 is the girl, usually a petted
only daughter, restless and with the
idea that “money is just made to be
spent. As a wife she’d be a won
derful sweetheart, but we'd both be
in the poorhouse inside of a yenr or
two.”
And third is the intellectual girl
who insists upon showing it. “She
has ideas and beliefs, about everything
from bolshevism to birth control. As
a wife she’d have her clubs to go to.
her political meetings, her papers on
various subjects to prepare. I’m
afraid we wouldn't be happy togeth
i er.”

FORWARD STEP MADE M |
IN HIGHWAY LEGISLATION
Some c-f the Important Memaiyes
Passed by the Ijrie Legislature.
Tribune Bureatf
Sir Walter TIotH. ,
By J. C. BASKERVILU 'Aj;*
Raleigh. March 12.—A decided step
forward in the direction of lietter
highway traffic regulation, an well use
in other matters ]iertaining to the
highways of the state was taken dur
ing the session of the general assembly
just passed a review of the legislation
offeetiug the highways shows. And
although the Hargett bill providing
for the licensing of the drivers of motqr
vehicles did not. pass, and the Imwr
etice bill for n state highway police
force was defeated, it is generaly be
lieved that these will be the next step,
takn toward safer highways.
However, one very ImiMirtnnt mea
: sure relating to the highways was the
jbill that the enacted in the last days !
| of the session that was seareely noticed
•at the time, providing thnt drunken j
i drivers hot only be given a minimum
] sentence of 30 days on the roads, ami
jprhibiting the judges from given sus- 1
| pended senteee, further making it man 1
| dntory upon the judge to revoke the
I license of such a convicted driver for j!
| not less than 90 days and nut: more
| than a year.
! The bill was but briefly notA at
j the time of its passage, along fcith :
Wf roe same nmeTahu (Tie’ provision *
for the revoking of the license'was 1
scarcely noted at nil. But since it |
lias come to the attention of the public ! 1
generally, it is being heralded as an I
outstanding piece of constructive leg
i islation, that will tend to decrease the
j hazard thnt has existed front those. 1
I who have attempted to drive auto
j moblies while intoxicated.
| The question stil remains, however,
las to the enforcement of the law, since
i there is as yet no highway police
force to check up on reckless and in
toxicated drivers.
But this on only one out of more
than a dozen important measures re- ■
latiug to the highways in one way or 1
another, which were steered through I
the bouse by Representative Wool
aril of Rock Mount, Nash comity,
chairman of the house committee on
roads, and through the senate by Sen
ator Hargett of Trenton, chairmiiu of
the senate committee on roads. In j
the house, Representative Woodard i
have the tinupual distinction to his
credit and the credit of the committee
of having every bill passed which the j
committee recommended favorably. |
Some of these measures were fought
bitteily, but in the end they prevailed. ;
Perhaps the hardest of fought high- j
way measure of the session was the ;
committee substitute bill giving the 1
highway comission more authority in !
the locating and abondonment of 1
roads, and for n time its defeat seem
ed imminent. But after numerous
committee hearings, the objections
were finally eliminated and the bill
prevailed.
The most important net passed,
however, was the $30,000,000 bond is. j
sue for highway construction, which j
enrried with it the provsions tlmt no j
. more loans nre to made to the high- ;
way commission by the counties, and I
that out of this $30,000,000 issue, sl3,- !
000,000 of the money accepted from j
the counties is further significant in
thnt it marks the last big bond issue J
to be used for roads.
In addition to thse provisions above
other bills were enacted fixing the
allocations from various districts the
counties, and equalizing to what, ex
tent eucli county should receive SO
per cent to the mileage in the various
highway districts in the state, was
also passed. The act imposing the 4
cents a gallon tax on gasoline way also
re-enacted, making it apply to the oil
companies and the gnsoline they burn
in their trucks, ns wel ns upon what
is sold. It was also provided thnt
the income from this tax should be
made sacred for the retire(nent of
highway bonds, and that it could not
be diverted into other channels.
Other potable hills passed was the
, bill by Seuntor Hargett codifying all
the nets relating to the registration of
automobiles, and regulating the speed
weight and width of trucks and busses.
, The speed limit was increased to 4.1
miles an hour on the open highways,
and the railroad crossing stop law was
modified. The width of busses was
s not increased.

FACING OUTLOOK OF A
VERY SHORT PEACII CROP
As the Result of the Last Heavy
Snow and Freeze.
Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh.' Mar. 12. —After an al
most disastrous year last year front
too large a poach crop, the Sandhills
section is now facing the outlook of
hardly any crop at all. as the result
of the last heavy snow and freeze,
according to Frank Parker, of the
I . S. State Crop Reporting service.
Mr. Darker, together with Dr. 11.
W. Kilgore, T. It. Darker and W.
jX. Hutt. former state horiculturlst,
1 have just returned front a tour of
| the ‘Sandhills peach orchards in the
(area between Sanford and Hamlet,
i and report that the damage has been
| very great.
I “The orchards have been very
j badly damaged, and although we
j have not yet had time to prepare an
! official report, all those who made j
I the trip through the orchards agreed j
! that the damage from the snow and I
i freeze was most serious. The eastern,
| was more .seriously damaged, and in
| the western edge of the Sandhills
there is still a chance for a fairly
1 good crop, provided there is not
further injury later,” said Mr. Dar
ker. who placed particular emphasis
on the work "later”, calling atten
tion to the fact that last spring
one of the most injurious frosts and
■freezes cnine on Aprtf~ tS. and that -
there is at least 30 days more during
which a freeze may occur.
According to present indications.
Mr. Darker hazarded the guess that
the peach crop would not be more
than from 500 to 1.000 cars, al
though the estimate may be revised,
if it is found later that the damage
has not been as great as is indicated
at present. However, it subsequent
freezes occur, the estimate ntny be
reduced still further.
However, attention was called :o
the fact by Mr. Darker that it only
requires about four per cent of the
total bloom to fructify to produce a
full crop, and that even if 00 per
cent of the bloom was destroyed by
the freeze, that if only 10 per cent
has been left surviving, there is still
a chance that a portion of this re
maining 10 per cent may yield.
But on the whole, the outlook for
the peach crop is anythiiig but en
couraging.
SIGNS FOR WHISKEY; JAILED
King Didn’t Know What His Friend
Had Sent to Sanitarium.
Battle Creek, Mich., March 12.—A
joking reference to the fact that “they
provide every convenience here except
a drink,'’ written in a letter to a
friend in New York, got Philip T.
King, 37, dealer in locomotive cranes
at 50 Church Street, New York, into
trouble.
The freind did not know that King
was not only a non-drinker, but was
under treatment for a stomach disor
der that required a rigid diet. So he
sent a case of whisky to the sanitar
ium where King was staying. The
shipment was “spotted’ in New York
and followed across the country, and
when the bulky package was signed
for by King lie was lodged in jail.
He was liberated under bond after
; an hotrr and a half, buj/v as required
1 to appear before United States Com
missioner O. S. Clark for examination.
A letter from a Vice President of the
Chatham Phettix National Bank in
New York and another from the West
ern manager of the Grand Trunk Rail
road saying that a liquor charge
against King was ridiculous were, of
fered in evidence today. Coinintssvmer
Clark said that he was inclined to be
lieve King's story that he didn't know
what he was signing, for and adjourned
'the case for a week to hear further
wort! from New York.
