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.

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.

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. TAKE STEPS TOWAHD FORMING COTTON IlLOC; Washington.

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.

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 (Safeguard against downward prog ress.
