STATE COLLEGE GETS COACH BILL FETZER West Raleigh, N. C, July 10. William McK. Fetzer has been se cured as all-year athletic director at the North Carolina State College, ac cording to an announcement made by Professor Satterfleld, faculty ath letic director. To the follower of college athletics in the State it is needless to say that Coach Fetzor Is the responsible party for the pheno menal successes of the Davidson Col lege teams for the past five years. Coach Fetzer graduated from Davidson in 1906, after having made a reputation as a crack athlete on the "Wild Cat" teams. He then went to Fishburne Military Academy as athletic director where he remained for six years. Staunton Military Academy then secured his services for one year, at the end of which time he returned to Fishburne for another year, in January 1915, Davidson College, having seen the growing success of Fetzer as a coach, made claims on him, and there he remained until the present time, fill ing in his summers at Camp Sapphire which he has been successfully op erating for boys at Brevard, N. C. A clipping from the Atlanta Jour nal says of a Fetzer team: "The team often Iosps but is never de feated. Tis the fighting team that when downed, won't stay down." Morgan Blake, of Atlanta, said, "We desire here and now (o claim the lightweight championship of the world for the Davidson Wild Cats. No team ever put together in these United States of the same weight could ever get the verdict over that flock of wild men from North Car olina." and we believe Mr. Blake. The Davldsonlan says: "Various and sundry reasons have been given for Davidson's successes to save hi ,h. i -..on time and trouble the real reason for our winning is named coach Bill Fetzer. George Tech claims the best team In the U. S. Davidson claims the best coach and Is pre pared to back her claim. We firmly CHAMBER LABOR ISSUES MANIFESTO ' (By Associated Press) Rome. July 9.

EQUIP STEAMERS ' TO CAREY FRUIT San Juan, June 27. (Correspond ence of The Associated Press.) Fruit growers of Porto Rico have asked the Emergency Fleet Corpor- , atlon to equip 100 steamers as re- j frlgerator ships to carry fruit not only between Porto Rico and the mainland but between the United States, South America and European countries. The fruit growers have submitted to the corporation a memorandum saying that each ship should have from 100,000 to 200,000 cubic feet of refrigerator space. They assert that last year they lost more than $500,000 on their products because of Insufficient tonnage and because none of it was equipped with even partial refrigeration facilities. The statement declares that, aside from the lines engaged in the banana- carrying trade, the United States has not more than a dozen partly equip ped insulated refrigerator ships. These proposed refrigerator ships, it Is ufged by the fruit growers, should have a speed of from 12 to 14 knots. It is pointed out that few freighters of such speed now are afloat. The Porto Klcans argue mat shipping from the United States to South America must paBs through the Tropics and that in doing so perishable products carried in the holds of ordinary ships are delivered invariably in a partly damaged con dition. They say also that refriger ator ships are needed to carry apples from North Atlantic ports, such as New York, Philadelphia and Boston ; rt,gtlar editors, special writers and to England and Scotland and that j reporters of the Times, Daily Mail for lack of such ships, apples now all(j Evening News are to have two suffer loss in transit. days each week for rest or recreation They estimate that the crops of W(GT t)le "jive day working week" oranges, grapefruit and pine apples whch viscount Northcliffe is intro for the coming season probably will clucing in his newspaper properties, double that of last year and foresee j The wrjtjng staffs of The Times a heavy loss unless adequate ships of :aml i)aHy ivi ci.il already have been re an insulated type are provided t0 organized on this basis and the sys- carry these crops. ITALY DEPENDENT ON ELECTRIC POWER Rome, June 12. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Italy's lack of coal has forced her to depend nore and more upon electric power. During the period of 1914 to 1918 more than one hundred million dol lars was expended on water power electric plants by electric companies in Turin and Milan. Italy's annual consumption of coal reaches 1 2,000, 000 tons. For all of it she is dependent upon either Eng land or America. The war nauirauy made the transportation of it a dif ficult problem so Italian engineers were forced to build large hydro electric stations. Italy could save at least three-fourths of her coal consumption, by using her water power according to Signor Maffeo Pantaleoni, engineer and dean of Italian economists. Much of it re mains undeveloped. MOSQUITOES IN ENGLAND London, June 17. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
