Ladies' Building Is
Urged For The Fair
Heretofore No Place l'or Feminine
Visitors To Go For A Itesl Dur
ing Stay At Grounds
A convenience that few fairs pro
vide, but that is needed on every
fair ground In the United States, is
a building for the feminine visitors
that form a large percentage of the
attendance at every fair; and the Al
bemarle Fair Association is now un
dertaking to provide such a building
for the 1922 District Fair at this
city. Usually no svcclal provisions
are made for the ladies; and moth
ers with babies li ml a day spent at
the average fair more or less of a
trying ordeal.
Suffolk will have a Ladies' Build
ing ready in time for this year's
Niinsemond County Fair. The Suf
folk Fair Association put the pro
position squarely before the business
men of that city, and the American
Bank & Trust Company volunteered
to erect a building r. 0 by 20 feet for'
the purpose. Merchants agreed to,
Jend furniture, cots and other equip!
ment to tit up the structure com
fortably; and a clerk will be on band
to register all who use the building,!
as well as to give Information and
render any assistance desired.
The directors of the District Fair
Association are debating whether to
hold this year's Fair during the four;
days beginning September 1!, Imme
diately afler the Norfolk Fair, or,
during the first week in October. The
former date has the advantage that
many attractions at Norfolk would
then be brought directly to this city;
but the latter date would make feas-,
jible a much larger and more com-1
plete exhibition of the agricultural
I resources of Northeastern North
Carolina.
An effort will be made to Interest
local business men In a scheme to.
provide benches for the fair grounds,
for the convenience of visitors to
District Fairs of this and succeeding
years. Those who furnish benches
will be permitted to display any de
sired advertising upon them, entirely
without charge, though other adver
tising at the grounds is charged for
by the Association.
Plans for the proposed Agricul
tural Building are held up tempof-.
arily by the absence of Taylor
(randy, who beads the building com
mittee of the Association; but It is
hoped that It can be erected in time
to bouse this year's exhibit of North
eastern North Carolina products,
which promises to he by far the larg
est ever shown here. County Agent
Falls Is working upon a Pasquotank
County agricultural display to be ex
hibited here, and later at the North
Carolina State Fair.
Buxton White, secretary-manager
of the Fair A-sociation. is now in
touch with Clark's Broadway Shows,
said to be one of the hqst carnival ag
gregations In the United Slates, with
a view to bringing them here for the
midway attractions at the District
Fair. These shows will appear at the
Norfolk and Suffolk fairs.
Hoover Obtains
Approval Of Plan
Washington, May IS (By The As

has obtained the approval of the
leading operators of the non-union'
bituminous coal elds for the Gov
ernment plan of getting the coal In
dustry by voluntary action to put a
stop on the Increase of prices during
the period of the existing strike. The
plan provides for the creation of
committees for handling all coal or

PACT IS ADOPTED
UNANIMOUSLY
Each Nation Represent
i ed At Genoa Agrees
To Respect Agree
ment I Genoa. May IS (By The Associat
ed Press) A non-aggression pact
i was adopted unanimously at a plen
ary meeting of the political sub-commission
of the conference today. The,
pact was not signed but was adopted
in the form of a resolution, each
'state pledging to respect it. Sir Ed
ward Grigg announced on behalf of
the British delegation that further
advices received from the United
1 States Government made it seem un
likely that America would partici
pate in the Hague meeting, at least,
until the scope of the meeting was
better understood.
Cubs Capture Clean
And Clever Contest
Hold Red Men Scoreless And Walt
Home With Winning Run In The
Seventh Inning
( By Ralph Pool)
Wednesday's game between the
Red Men and the Cubs was as line an
exhibition of baseball as the game on
the preceding day had been rotten.
The Cubs regained their lost laurels,
winning from the opposition by a
score of 1 to 0. Boyce, pitcher for
the winners, won his own game in
the last half of the seventh by driv
ing a clean single into right Held that
brought Norris across the plate, af
ler the two teams had fought score
less through six innings and a half.
Both pitchers, Seymour for the
Red Men and Boyce for the Cubs,
were In excellent condition, Seymour
allowing three bits and Boyce four.
The Red Men hud a shade the better
of the contest In the errors, annex
ing four as compared with a total of
five for their opponents. The spec
tators watched the game with tense
interest until the ringing of the fire
bell In the sixth inning emptied the
stands of firemen, and drew a few of
the less ardent baseball fans.
The Red Men came near scoring In
their half of the seventh, when they
filled the bases with nobody out. The
Culis then tightened up, and retired
their opponents with a double play
and an Infield out In rapid succes
sion. Everything considered, Wed
nesday's game was fully up to the
1922 standard of the Twilight
League.
