Chairman Shirley. of the Vir ginia Highway Commission. Thomas il. McDonald, chief of <h?* Bureau of Itoadn of the Kedi-'al Depart mes.t of Agriculture, and aeveral other engineers and high way official** concurred with Mr. Pag* in this opinion, according to Mr. Job. They were in Raleigh to attend a dinner given ill M.. Page* honor under umpires of the Raleigh chamber of Com merce. Mr. Page expressed the opin ion that it would be foolish to fre lay the brick, even with an JP^* phalt wearing surface. unless tley were laid on a concrete bMt ^e | ciared to be a high!/ expe:itflvu I procedure. "You'd Just be want I ing your money." be it* quoted hs saying. "Your streets would l?e In practically the same condition us they are now. within a couple of yearn after they hud been *e laid." In addition. Mr. Page und the other eiiKlnrer* recommended a , five inch concrete base with a two Inch ahphalt surface, Instead ?( a | four inch concrete foundation. [The visitors from here were takea [ by City Engineer Olsen on a trip all over flalelgh. and were shown many streets built in the fashion recommended. Some had been In' use for 20 years or more, they re ported. und were still In excellent condition. Messrs. Cohoon and Job were Mr Olson's guests at the Page dinner at which Governor1 .Mc Lean wus toastmaster. In connection with a request for State aid in a project to re , pave Muin street, from Water to the Hertford Highway, nud Road street, from Ehrlnghaus lo the Newland Highway, the Elizabeth City delegation wus InTormed that there was little or no likelihood this would he granted. "If we did that In your city, we'd have to do It In all cities of similar slr.e In the State." they were told; "and that would be Im practicable." It Is contemplated here lo repave the streets In ques tion. links in the Slate Highway System with concrete. "Pave well what yoti can." Mr. Page advised Messrs. Cohoon und Job. "Don't try to stretch your money over to greut an area. Do | thoroughly and permanently what is done, and then extend your street paving later as money be comes available." A sentiment now Is developing here for the taking np of the brick streets, welling the brick, and repavinK outright with as* phalt or concrete, or a combina tion of concrete base and asphalt wearing service. It is declared that the hrlck cost $10 n thousand when they were bought, and that they can be sold now for $.10 a thousand, netting the city n sub stantial profit after ten to la years of service.

The President had known, of eflUine. ever since last Miimmei, ilia* his father would neVei reooi er from the attacks suffered last year. When the President went to Plymouth last summer, it was 1 whispered that at the most tie (elder Coolidge would not llvi' more thnn five or six months. There was an atmosphere of sad , neiut at the last visit. Vet the 1 President did not llngi r because j his father did not want him to i neglect his tasks In Washington. Th? excitement of having a Pres ident around wan said at the time to be too much for an ill man. Mr. Coolidge withdrew hut imdsted on having a private elephone ln Htslli'd so he could talk frwjuent - ly to hia father. These lonj tance conversations have been a comfort to both father and son.: Hut It was the President '?? wish that he see his father again.

"There Is a strong movement It this year to decrease the acreage of cotton, but I feel that It get far. Too many rartners will li figure thst ir thev plant more, they will profit handsomely by [the shorter production elsewhere. There is nothing new about that. In I H60. the Albemarle colony, Virginia and Maryland were grow ing so much tobaceo that the price \ fell to almost nothing, and so the assemblies of the three colonies agreed that they would grow none in 166G. and thereby force up the price. llefore the time came, how* ever, all three backed out. "Often the successful merchant [thinks he can tell the farmer how D to run his fsrm to make a profit. I When one undertakes to tell you, I ask him how long ago he worked on the farm.
