DRAW BRIDGE BAD
ON AUTO TRAFFIC
And Twenty Minutes Seems j
a Bit Long to Wait on
Schooner Loaded Only with
-a Chicken Coop.?
A pair of Bestcitlans drove up on !
the Pasquotank River State Bridge
the other day front the Camden side
in a hurry to get back home. The
draw was up and with one car ahead
of them they stopped their flivver on
the bridge to wait for the draw to
descend.
When the vessel -that the draw
had been lifted for had passed and
the draw was coming down and
| within six inches of the closed posi
tion, somebody on a schooner lying
at Abbott's wharf with a tin horn
gave a signal for the draw to be
raisedThe vessel was not -under
way. but the draw rose again into
I the air. It went up. as its custom is.;
to its full height, and stopped. Still
the schooner had not got under way. |
The tlraw hung in the air for per
haps five minutes and then Started
downward again. When the bridge '
was about two-thirds the way down J
the schooner cast off from the dock j
and sounded her warning signal
again By thiktlne a half dozen,
cars or other motor vehicles were
waiting to cross the bridge. The]
draw eon Untied all the way down |
? this time and two cars from the ,
Pasquotank side who had the right j
of way shot across. The two_?ars j
[ that were in front of the procession
i were next and they started across,
; but the signal to stop halted them
'so suddenly that the rear car bump
: ed the back fenders of the flivver in
front of it, and the draw started up
I again. Meantime the schooner had !
shut off its auxiliary engine, under
, the power of which it had been
[creeping up the river, and was drift
ing. As the draw lifted the second ,
j time the Bchooner started up again .
and this time it got safely by. Then ,
the draw descended, and the long
line of motor vehicles that had j
formed waiting for the draw to close
crossed over. A count showed near- ?
jly 20 of them. Then consulting one's'
watch disclosed that the two cars
that waited longest to get across had
been delayed 20 minutes.
Suppose they had been making
a train, with 15 minute margin,
which, ordinarily, would be ample.
The schooner had a crew of two
and the only visible cargo was a
chicken coop.
A power lift for the draw across,
the Pasquotank River here has been
a recognized need ever since the
bridge was taken over by the State
and toll for crossing It was abolished.
A question occurring to the two
Bestcitlans who had waited 20 min
utes for the croHslng was whether
modern motor traffic on paved high
ways does not require some modifi
cation of the rule for giving prece
dence to water traffic.
PSYCHE V. HERE ON
TOUR OF INSPECTION
On a tour of Inspection of vessel8 J
and navigation, the U. S. Motor ves-1
sel Psyche V. arrived bore Friday j
afternoon and tied up at the Coast '
Guard wharf. Commander Harry j
IMnnert, navigation officer In !
charge, is a member of the Depart
ment of Commerce forces and his
work Is mainly in enforcing naviga
tion laws, and reporting conditions
in the ports he vlxlts. His last trip
to Klixabeth City was In February.
Commander l'lanert was on Great
I?akes duty recently whore he came
Into contact with the bootlegging be
tween Canada and the United States.
At one time he said he hailed a smell
boat to Inapert Its equipment but In
stead of stopping the boat headed for
the shore. Just before the nose of
the little craft struck the land those
on the government vessel saw Its
operator stoop as If busy with some
thing in the bottom.
The boat touched land without
slacking pace and the tnan Jumped
over and ran Into the bushes. They j
found on looking Into the craft that j
he had been engaged In loosening ;
his boots just before reaching dryj
land to enable him to run with great-;
er fleetness. The officers also,
found *lx cases of Canadian whiskey
which they turned over to treasury,
department officers.
Commander Plsnert says he finds'
very few violations of the navlga- J
tlon laws In these waters and those
few. he says, are due probably to;
lack of Information.
Mr. and Mrs. William B. Foreman
left Saturday for Norfolk to spend
the day.

Mark Birthplace
Of Virginia Dare
Movement Started to Perma
nently Designate Historic
Spots
I Br Th? Aunrlitrd Prru.)
Manteo, November 24 ? A move
ment has been started by a group of
'citizens to permanently mark his
toric spots, and one of the places
to be designated by a monument, if
the plans materialize, is the birth
place of Virginia Dare, the first
white child born on American Hoil.
The spot is on Roanoke Island, often
.?referred to as "the cradle of the
English race in America." There is
some doubt as to the exact spot
where Virginia Dare was born, but
It Is believed to be near Forr Ral
eigh. about three miles north of
Manteo.
Mounds of earth forming the
sides of a pentagon, at each angle of
which is a stone post protruding
about a foot from the ground, show
the location of the old fort. In the
center of the fort there Is now an
unpretentious stone marker on
which is inscribed some of the his
torical records of the place. l*n
scrupulus relic collectors have mar
red the present stone marker, but
Its inscription still can be read.
The county of which Hoanoke
Island Is a part is named Dare, in
honor of the first English child born
in America, and the seat of the
county is named Manteo in honor of
the Indian chief who was the first
person to be haptbted In the new
land. Manteo enjoys the distinc
tion of being the only county seat In
the United States, with the single
exception of Key West, Florida, loca
ted on an island.
Today, the island Is sparsely set
tled. The Inhabitants make a live
lihood hy fishing. They do little
farming. In fact. It is said that there
Is only one commercial farmer on tne
whole island, which Is 12 in lies long
and about three miles wide.
The .Vorth Carolina State Depart
ment of Education a/id the St ite
Historical Commission In order to
present to the people the history of
Roanoke Island In pictorial form, in
1921 had the settlement of the island
enacted and photographed In 6,000
feet of motion picture film.
August, 18, 1902, the first cele
bration In honor of the birth of Vir
ginia Dare was held at Fort Raleigh.
Since then the celebrations have been
repeated from time to time. It Is
said that at these occasions only has
the flag of Queen Elisabeth?a red
cross on a field of whit*?been dis
played.

VIGILANCE PREVENTS
DISASTROUS BLAZE
Camden, Nov. 2 4.?Viuilance on
the part of C. L. Tarkinfcton, secre
tary,treasurer of tlu> Camden Gln
nln? Company, last night prevented
a disastrous Are in the plant.
Inspecting the place at cloning
time, an Ik IiIh custom, about six
o'clock Friday evening, he detected
Arc In the press In lint cotton com
ing from the third gin. The bale
had been completed and thrown out.
It was taken from the plant to the
road and opened up. Fire was found
inside the hale. All burning cotton
was removed, resulting in a moder
ate loss of* lint.
Had Mr. Tarkinuton not discov
ered the fire, a blazv would probably
have broken out in the plant in the
night with no one present, .and the
plant and the railway station would
have been destroyed.

Careful Diet For
Insulin Treatment
Dr. Allen Cily?n Authoritative Ite
vlew (H firitmont Of Diabetes
With Insulin
New York. Nov. 24?In an arti
cle In the current issue of the Jour
nal of the American Medical Asso
ciation, I)r. Frederick M. Allen, dl
| rector of the IMiyslatric Institute,
;Morristown, N. J., gives an autlMfrl
jtatlve review of the treatment of
; diabetes with -Insulin, based on Its
j use at the Institute for a period of
more than a year, or since the dis
covery of insulin by Dr. Frederick
O. Hantlng and his associates.
The Impression has gained much
headway with the public during tho
past year, according to Dr. Allen,
that Insulin Is a cure for diabetes
land that regulation of diet is not
I necessary. This Is far from the
truth. The use of Insulin without a
regulated diet is a dangerous error.
!_QontliLuiag?Dr^Allon writes; ?"The
purpose of Insulin treatment Is tc
improve the nutrition of patients
with severe diabetes and to add a

dinarily do not require insulin. In

carried out in conjunction with ac
I curate diets under laboratory con
trol to assure that pntlents remain
sugar-free. It Involves the lnconve
Jnlence of frequent subcutaneous In
jections and other disadvantages,
does not simplify diabetic treatment
'or justify careless methods; and Is
| not the final step in diabetic re
search. Nevertheless this discovery
of Dr. Ilanting and his assoclatopr Is
(the first replacement of negative by

therefore stands as one of the great
est achievements of medicine for the
relief of human suffering. Its theo
retical and Indirect consequences
! may ultimately outweigh the Imme
diate and practical ones.
"Insulin must nearly always he In

i Karlv Todav.
Philadelphia. Nov. 24.?Two ler
l rifle bom!) explosions in foreign con
sulates in the down town district to*
day injured scores of persons, dam
aged many houses, and threw tlie
southern section of the city into wild
excitement.
No one was seriously hurt so far

The first explosion occurred in the
