No I'aiiKt' I'or Panic The boll weevil has now dis tributed itself over practically the entire Albemarle region; news of this higher degree of infestation in Currituck, the most northerly county of this section, indicating that every county bordering on the sound is now affected. When weevils first invade any new territory there is usually a tendency to panic, a disposition to overestimate dam age and an inclination to blame til? weevil for all shortage in the yield. The counsel of The Advance' to cotton growers in the newly invaded territory, then, is not to be discouraged or alarmed. The boll weevil has arrived but it has arrived too late materially to damage this year's crop. Even in Pasquotank, which is now in its second year of weevil infes tation, damage this year is not e'xpected to exceed 5 per cent. The weevil is at work chiefly! in the squares, of which, owing to the frequent rains of the late season, there is an abundance. As long as these squares art plentiful the weevil will not se riously damage the bolls and the season is too far advanced for squares now forming ever to mature. H^br?toss?of?these squares, therefore, will not hurt this year's crop. Perhaps, in deed, their falling off will divert nioro plant food to the fruit. Notwithstanding the present degree of infestation, thu. Albe marle section. The Advance be lieves, will this year produce the most profitable crop of cotton in its history, providing the farm ers can get their cotton picked. So much for thig year's daiu-| age. Next year, of course, the normal expectation would be for considerable trouble from the boll weevil; but again there is no cause for alarm. Farmers ot the Albemarle do not have to grow cotton. If they will cut down their acreage next jwr and study the methods of the in vading weevil recommended by the Federal Department of Ag riculture, very probably they will find for the most part they can still grow cotton to a limited extent at a profit. If, however, they do not so find, they can turn to the crops for which this sec tion is suited and continue to do profitable farming. One thing that all farmers' who have grown cotton this year should do is to begin now to plan for the early destruction of cotton stalks this fall. This tends to send the weevil into winter quarters lean and without the physical stamina to withstand a five month's fast and the cold of J winter. Skyscrapcr* mid Eartliiyiukrh It now appoars that the Jap anese earthquake of September 1, 1923, will go down in history as surpassing in the horror of its results any that has ever oc curred even in (hat country. Probably the violence of this quake was not unprecedented, but it struck at great centers of population. Besides, Japan of late has tak en to the building of skyscrapers in the large cities. The sky scrapers are of a type of con struction which must inevitably _add to the horror and fatality oi earthquakes. STORAGEBATTEIHES FOR AM, MAKER OF i'ARH? 1UDCHARGHD AND RGPAIRKD Auto ?

Secretary Hughes dec lured Tuesday in an ad dress before the Canadian Bar Asso ciation on "Th?* Pathway of Pence." The American Secretary of State asserted that "all things are possible if nations are willing to he Just to each other" and. in a personal word to his Canadian audience, suggested the creation of a "permanent body of our most distinguished citizens" to act as a commission for the lulled States and Canada. In discussing the subject of inter national relations in a broad way. Mr. Hughes said It was desirable that nations should more definitely es t?Iish the law "to quicken the sens** of the obligation of states under the law." I!?? assailed "demagogues" anil "psoudopat riots" who ho said sometimes made It'difficult for dem ocratic governments ty secure leg. islative approval for the mutual con cessions necessary for settlement of important international questions, and he declared It was Impossible to carry "open diplomacy" to the point of keeping the public constantly ad vised of all the Intermediate steps of negotiations. "We have at this time," he said in discussing American-Canadian re lations. "under our treaty of 1909 relating to boundary waters and questions arising along the boundary between Canada and the I'nlted States, an Interntional Joint Com mission with powers of Investigation and report within the scope of the treaty. While I do not undertake i?> speak officially upon tills subject. 1 may take the liberty of stating is my personal view that we should do, much to foster our friendly relations and to remove sources of misunder standing and possible irritation, if we were to have a permanent bodv of our most distinguished citizens acting as a commission, with equal representation of both the United tically there would be referred, for Slates and Canada, to which automa examination and report as to the I facts, questions arising as to the hearing of action by either govern-! uienl upon the interests of the other. ! to the end that each reasonably pro- ' Ucting its own interests would be 10 advised that it would avoid action i Inflicting MUn^n'iirtitry injury upon 1 its neighbor. "We rejoice in our long friend- ' ship and in permanent peace, and it j would be a short-sighted view that ' either of us has any real Interest which is to be promoted wfthout re gard to the well-being of the olher and the considerate treatment which Conditions good will.

She decides in what room .hubby may smoke, what kind of fur niture to buy for the home, what clothes he should wear, what friends he shall cultivate. This is true of the home life of Philip Baldwin, the hero of "Brass," ?V the Alkrama {pday with Monte Blue in the featured role. In this screen adaption of Charles G.
