C., SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1927 Only Few Children Employed in Industrial Plants in the State * — : Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. By J. ('. HASKERVtLL. Raleigh. April I*ll.—While the .value of mnmrfnctnred products in North Carolina.is now more than one bil lion dollars annually, these products are produced almost entirely by adult labor, an analysis of the records over the mist tier years how. for while, the nuinlber of workers employed in in dustry in the state increased from 138,833 in 1021, to 182,284 in 1028. the increase in the number of workers between 14 to 1(1 actually employed in North (Carolina, according to the most recent records of the Stale Child Welfare Commission. I Thus if is evident that the- progress which the state has made in the man-, ufaeturiiig field in the last six years, making it the leading textile manufac turing state in the south, has been made with adult rather than with child labor, contrary to the belief of some pople, principally in the North. I'or if out of 172,234 workers in the state in 1028, only a ifew more than 8.000 were between the ages of 14 and 16, then the proportion of workers 'bet-wen these ages would be approxi mately but 3.6 per cent of the total number. But that is not all. A study of the trend in the' employment of "child labor” or workers between the ages of 14 to 16. reveals that the trend for sevrnl. years has been away from younger labor to older and more ex perienced labor, according to E. E. Carter, excutive secretary of the Child Welfare Commission, mid chief en forcement officer of the state's child DEATH OF GIRL 1 LAID TO GIBSON Charlotte Contractor Blamed By Coroner's- Jury For Fatal Crash. Charlotte Observer, 30th. Blame for the death of Miss Betty Woodard, Charlotte stenographer, who was killed in an automobile ac cident at Huntersville Sunday night, ] was laid to Allen M. Gibson.

Holly, Charlotte cotton oil man. Miss Woodard, who was a pas senger':' in the- Gibson machine, was Thrown through the windshield to the pavement and instant];) killed. In addition to Miss Woodard and the contractor. Mrs. A. M- Gibson. Miss Julia Henry and Henry Bar ringer were in the death car. Rural Police Chief Vic I’. Fesiier man said that the four companions of Miss Woodard were intoxieated. He arrived at the scene of the acci dent within half an hour after the wreck. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson.

I OTTO WCOD STIRS UP TROUBLE IN PRISON Has Fight With “Death Row” Guard And Cusses Out Whole Works—No One Is Hurt. Raleigh, April 29.—Guard is being renewed over Ootto Wood, holder of North Carolina's prison break record, following reports today of a recent fraous in which the murderer stirred up trouble. Wood who was sent to state prison for the murder of A. W. Kaplan, a Grepnkbrtro pawn 'broker, lias made three escapes during the three years of this confinement and as many times re-confined. Several days ago he attacked Evan der McKeenan, “death row” guard, but after a brief struggle in which Wood was forced to abandon his wits and apply his brawn he was re-caged in. the ceil where he is kept. The struggle was an unequal one and Wood turned his talents to a general cussing out of the prison in general and super intendent in particular during the short fracas. No one was hurt. Wood staged his last escape in November last year and was captured in Indiana only after he had pulled several bold-ups. Do The English Despise Us? “Do the English despise us?" in quires Viola Paradise, York novelist, in the May number of The -Forum magazine. And she replies that, if some of them do, it is very largely our own fßult. “How they condescend to us!” she writes. "And preach, no matter what the subject—how men should make love to women, or how we ought to write editorials. A contemptuous people, the English. Contemptuous, certainly, of Americans. And perhaps we deserve their contempt, for we flock to hear them lecture us ou our materialism, on how art cannot pos sibly thrive' here; and yet we politely turn onr minds away from the fact that it is the box-office receipts which bring them again and again. There is something a bit funny iu having them to flay us when we cluster about them eager to hear what, these ex ponents of English culture have to ofler, while they profit by our eager ness for this culture t" But later on in her Forum article.

TYPHOID SERUM TO BE SENT TO FLOOD AREA North Carolina Will Furnish Tit anus Vaccine Also, For Flood- Strieken Districts. Tribune Bureau, Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, April 30.—As much ty phoid vaccine serum as the State Laboratory of the State Board of Health can turn out, as well as tetanus vaccine, will be sent, im mediately to the flood-stricken areas, Jis well as several of the experts of the Hoard of Health—perhaps five or six—or as many ns can be spared from the work here, it was announc ed by I)r. C. (>‘H. Lniighinthouse to day. following receipt -of a message from the flood area accepting the Board's offer of aid sent several days ago. Already, the bonuls of health o’ the three states most seriously af 'fccted by the flood—Louisiana, Mis sfciwtippi and Arkansas—are 00-oper ating with the IT. S. Public Health Service and the Red Cross in allevia ting suffering and in efforts to pre vent disease. But the situation still remains acute, with the result that many more additional experienced health workers are: needed in the Hood area. Among those especially needed are trained epidemoilogists. sanitary engineers, and health offi cers. as well ns large supplies of ty phoid and tetanus serums. Because of the fact that the per -onnel of the Board of Health is de igned to meet the needs of North Carolina only, and almost too small for that, the problem or picking out five or six men who can be spared from the work here, and be sent to the. flood area, is a difficult one. However, I)r. Isiiighinghouse experts io be able to meet the emergency and will send a group of the Board’s ex perts in the lines mentioned, to as sist in the almost Hureulenn task of rehabilitating the flood-swept area. Since this state has its own labora tdry, where its serums are manufac tured for the use of the Board, it is possible to make good sized ship ments of serums to the flood area at once, which will be .followed by others as needed.

KnoWing Goodyear, that seemed to us a pretty sensational statement for such a solid, long-established company.
