Mr. Thomason said that traffic from foreign^points over the Piedmont and Northern would be what he called minor but that the volume of traffic 'originating on the line would be heavy. ! He said that in 192(1 the earnings per j mile per year of railroads in the Car ’ olinas were: Piedmont and Northern. $17,891; Southern. $16,725; Seaboard Air Line, $12,390. and Atlantic Coast Line. $13,790. Mr. Thomason said that in 1913 the Norfolk and Western Railway urged early completion of the Piedmont and Northern and promised a physical connection at Winston-Salem. He said that the decision to go to Winston- Salem at this time was influenced to a large extent by the increase in coal consumption in the territory the ex tension would serve. The extension, he said, would complete "the shortest route, with the least resistance." from the Virginia coal fields into this ter ritory. The plan to ultimately extend the 1 line to Durham never has been aban doned. he said. A real estate man who was al ways talking of sales of thousands of dollars, was greeted one evening ’ by his eleven year old son. who au • nounced. ' "Well, Dad I‘ve sold the dog.” "You’ve sold the dog?’’ 1 "Yes.” "Ten thousand dollars." “Ten thousand dollars'. What are ' you talking about?

New York Sun. A woman who sparkled with dia monds was taken before Magistrate Smith in the Tombs court today | charged with having attempted to pick | the pocket of a young stenographer | in the R. M. T. subway station atj Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue I last night. Jewelry valued at $15,000 this de-! fendant carried, the police said. In-1 dignantly. she told them that she was j Miss Mamie Davis, an "interpreter,” j 36 years old, and lived in Elmhurst, | Queens. But the detectives simply 1 wouldn't believe her and pointed to i the records. In August, 1908, one Matylda Xei man was sent to the Bedford Refor- j matory on a charge of grand larceny, j The police insisted that Matylda and j the defendant were one and the same I person. They pointed also to the j case of Matylda Xeiman, who was j sent to Auburn prison in 1913 for) grand larceny. The police insisted j that this Matylda and the defendant j were one and the same. Miss Evelyn ('bavin, a stenographer \ and bookkeeper of 1426 Eighty-first i street. Brooklyn, was bound for home i last night and boarded a Sea Beach j train at the Fourteenth street station. j It is alleged that the woman now be- j ing held filched an envelope contain- 1 ing sl2 and a powder puff from the j girl's purse. Detective John J. Mul- \ len of the pickpocket squad, chanced j to be near and 'he made the arrest. | TM envelope containing the money j was found on the floor. Miss Davis, or Nelman, was taken • to the lineup at police headquarters! this morning. She wore clothing of j the most modern cut. There were j four diamond rings on her fingers, j She wore a diamond necklace, diamond earrings with long drops and a cameo breastpin set with diamonds. One of the rings alone was said to be worth $2.00. As for the cameo—the woman said it had been made especially for j her—there wasn't another like it in New York. She also carried S2OO in cash. She | denied the charge made against her i but was held without bail by the! magistrate. Detective Mullen said it was one of j her tricks to ride up to a large store in an automobile driven by a chauf-j feur. then to enter the store and j mingle with shoppers. If successful ' in pickpocket operations, she would emerge again and saunter around the | block. The chauffeur would be some 1 distance behind, watching to see if | any one else followed her. If not, she ; would re-enter the automobile and I drive away. !. TODAY’S EVENTS. ' I ! Wednesday.

The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June 2i.—Only 50,000 of the new automobile licenses, which must be attached to automobiles July Ist have been sold in the first 21 days ! of the registration period, leaving from j 350,000 to 375,000 licenses that must I be purchased in the next ten days, if I the ear owners of the state are to get their new licenses by July Ist. And I if they do not have them by that date, | they will be subject to penalty, j This was announced today by R. A. ; Doughton, commissioner of revenue, in 1 calling attention to the fact that the | automobile owners of the state must i act quickly, and secure their new li censes at once if they h<s>e to ob j tain them at all by July Ist, and thus ! comply with the law. i “We have been doing everything ! possible to assist the public to get I these new licenses,” said Commission* j er Doughton, "but someway the ma.- I jority of the car owners seems to in ! sist upon waiting until the last mo i ment to get their new platas. Thus, I while the department has been equip i ped to issue from 10.000 to 20,000 I licenses a day through the Raleigh division, and the 36 branch offices in I the state, it will be necessary to issue 35,000 license* a day for the next ten j days, if all the licenses are to be | issued by July Ist. And of course, las a result of this last minute con ! gestion, someone is going to have to | wait.” j However, if car owners who have j not yet secured their license plates I will make immediate application to j the nearest branch office, or direct to j the Raleigh office, it is believed that | the bulk of the licenses can be deliv ered by July Ist. j None of these plates, however, may be attached to automobiles until after July Ist, and ear owners are cau tioned by the commissioner against using the new license tags before that date. Stop. Look. Listen. Here's a record of which the Standard Oil Company may well be proud. j In 1926 its motor vehicles crossed j approximately 50.000.000 railroad | crossings without a single fatality. ! It was the result of care and coun \ sel and cooperation between almost 1 everyone connected with the organi j zation. I There were some 10.000 vehicles land the drivers of each one of mem . [was consistently cautioned to. and each agreed to, always come to a ! full stop before going over a rail road crossing. Stop. look, listen, are ominous words for autoists, vet so often un heeded. It would be well for all users of automobiles to learn a les son from these Standard Oil drivers. And it is another angle to use in i automobile advertising. TESTIMONIALS of Dorman Medicines Concord.

CHAPTER VlF—Contlnaed Then Mary suddenly found a job. it was that same day that Mary wrote her first, letter to Robert, and to lighten the small heart, dwelt upon the munificence that irould be theirs when she was In stalled as cloak-room girl at the 4 White Ape," the night-club that was New York’s dernier cri. It wan a very brave little letter. It spoke of the thrill and glory that was New York, and of the boundless opportunities tost teem ed on the very 6treet corners. It was alive with hope for the future, and consoling in its acceptance of the present It finished with love, and an urgent request for Instant response. That same night Mary wrote to Davie, making no mention of the job but speaking brightly of the work she hoped to find as ten uis instructress in one of the city's largest stores. That would cheer Davie up Immensely. And a letter to Wally, that mentioned not very much at all, and was a very hazy web, leaving him to fill in the space between sentences. When that was done she prepared the one dress suitable for her job on the morrow. It was a very vague Job. The most she understood was that “Don’t let anybody around hers flits you too well." It was to bring her a definite sum weekly, which in Itself would be lufficient for both herself and Rob ert, in addition to tips. The tall thin man with the ridges ts marcelled hair who interviewed Mary had been very glowing at bentlon of the “tips.” It seemed if: she were wise she might be ible to make as much as five and •even dollars a night, and it she vpre very wise, perhaps more. He tvae very vagne as to Just what sohstituted being “wise." and Mary ivas even more eo. He had seemed lulte taken with her appearance, 'ery much pleased, too, to find that t was the lob of cloak-room girl that she wished, and not a job in the chorus. Not that she couldn’t have a job in the chorue it she wished Did she wish? No, Mary did not wish. Well, he for one was glad of that Chorus girls were common, bnt it was rarely that a good looker like Mary came along for the job of checking the oatrons* wraps. Did she know ehe was a mighty ente little looker? He put out his hand and laid it on her sleek head, and she withdrew a step Involuntarily. The edgee of his nails were rimmed with black, and the forefinger of one hand was mtealng. "Understand that your work be gins tomorrow night?" “Yes.” She was rather thrilled U the mere idea of such close as sociation with a sight dub. THE WHITE APB at that, one es the best known of toe lot When toe marcelled young man had left, walking lightly on tola patent leather shoes that caught the yel low. light of the electric globes overhead, she looked around with eagerness. Over In the corner two girls In rompers, with enormous bows In their smartly shingled hair, were practising steps with arms about each other’s waists. Wlien to# marcelled young man appeared they greeted him with shouts of "HI Benny, come on!" sad made room for him between them. He enclasped them both, and the three slid easily Into their dance while the shirt-sleeved young nan at the piano tore through the ■Kilo.

It was extreme distaste for the me chanical quality of trench warfare that caused Baron Manfred von Richt hofen to get transferred from the Ger man cavalry to the aviation, to be come the premier Gorman ace, points out Floyd Gibbons, noted war corres pondent, in an article in this week’s “Although he never put the thought into words, bia desire was to come in be killed,”i Gibbons writes of ttae who brought down 80 fiyars of the emptiness of the great barn-like place, that looked strangely tawdry in the mingled daylight and the pools of yellow shed from the bulbs overhead. The wooden tables were bars of any covering. Later Mary was to see them metlcukraely draped in the snowy folds of white, linen, with the little pink tempo' glowing gently above. But even now, In its undress, the place car* rled s fascination for her. Her breast rose with the thrill of It Iff was better than Instructress in too sporting goods department of a de partment store. That wae routine. Here was life! mpaiM|is CHAPTER VIII It was difficult, waiting for toe night when she was to begin her duties. To start, to start! To be gin earning. To feel the crispness of bills that she had earned herself, with no aid from anyone. To feel the Independence of standing alone, and Btandlng erect That was what she longed for. Alone, free, de pendent upon no one. • She went on duty at nine o’clock. “Not because there’s anything do ing, then, see,” said Bennie, “but because some of the hayseeds think this is a circus and yon gotta come early to get the best seatß. Oh, you’ll learn a lot, kid!" Mary wondered. Wondered if she would learn a lot and the rapidity of her heart beats at the proximity of Benny warned her that in alt probability she would. Bennie, she now discovered, was part owner and manager of the place, and also did an occasional specialty when they were short of artists. She was to discover that everyone in the profession was termed an “art ist,” whether their specialty was artistic or not didn’t matter. They were artists, and Mary was duly impressed. The artists were now sauntering in, slim girls with red dened mouths, mouths that spoke of wisdom, and eyes that were steeped in it One, a vivid little dark ereature, with great brown eyes that snapped with the perilous vivacity of explosives, strolled to wards Mary, settled behind her cage. As she came, ehe smiled— a smile that was more a grin. “Hello!" Then she announced. "You’re new.” “I am.” Mary smiled somewhat shyly in return. This was all so new, and these were her first words to a young one of her own sex since coming to the city. “Think you’re going to like it?” the other asked, leaning over the! cage. What a delightful pixie face, the child had, Mary thought “I think I will.” “You probably will. You’re the type. And they’ll probably like you.” This was spoken with a wis dom that came oddly from the little creature. She swung her fiat bead ed bag, and turned to go. After taking a few slow steps, she turned back. “What’s your name?" Mary was amused. She told the child her name. “Mine is Barbara Clement” She hesitated, then said, “You can call me Babs if you’d like.” But it very evidently was not wh&t she wanted to say to Mary. "Thank you. I should like to And may I say that it suits you perfectly? You’re a very little young toing.” “Not as young as I look.” said the other snccinctly. Then, "Lis ten. Mary. Don’t let anybody around here like you too well see?" After which she swung off with a careless swagger of her very seductive young person, the seductiveness an attribute of which she was very well aware. "Now what,” thought Mary, “can she have meant by that? Is it possible that she refers to the emaciated, pink-cheeked young man with the pipe-like ankles and paper-thin oxfords, known as Ben-’ nte? And It she means Bennie— why does she mean Bennie? And what can he possibly mean to me?” She concluded with the thought that it was all very puzzling, and not particularly interesting. In that It referred to Bennie. Had It bee* any one bnt him. Bat what did It matter? At a few minutes before tea Mary received her first tip. and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ft was so ridiculous, being given a half dollar for nothing more than a smile, and If smiles were to bring in each high tariff, how long wonld ft be before she. oould go for young Robert?
