Raleigh, March L Announcement of "Bob" Reynolds's candidacy for the United Statei Senate against Senator Lee S. Overman, the ar rangements for and against a iur. vey of women in industry in North 'Carolina, the sudden emergence into the limelight again of the Rodger killing at Christina and a number of I other matters absorbed the attention of the Capital this week. Though t administration circles brought forth I no outstanding news, the develop- menu around the capital with the ad' ! ministration as a common center were I sufficient to hold interest. R. R. Reynolds, an Asheville attor ney, announced for the Senate to succeed Lee Overman wKose term ex pires this year. Reynolds frankly stated he was soliciting votes and would do his best if elected, but would take a licking with good grace if ha had to. Since Overman will make a run for the office, it appears the ma jor election of June will be contested. The Child Welfare Commission and the State Federation of Labor di vided attention with Governor Mc-i Lean this yeek in the proposed sur vey of working condition of women in industry. The Governor issued and the reiterated twice a statement that he would not order a survey of the status of women workers until facts were presented to him showing that there were violations of law with respect to their treatment. The president of the State Federation of Labor asked the Governor to order a survey and alleged "exploitation of women in industry was at its height in North Carolina." The Child Wel fare Commission declared an inves- ! fixation was not within its scope, i At the end of the week the status of j the matter was unchanged and the j prospect of a survey appeared dim unless the Governor received actual facts involving specific cases on which to base an order for a survey. "Who killed Preston Rodgcrs?" a question which agitated Raleigh dur- ing January may be answered or at least it again will be a question up permost in the minds of the people. The Wake county grand jury pre sented to the solicitor Saturday a presentment against three women who were present when the boy was mysteriously killed at his mother's home on December 31. These threa women had been acquitted of guilt by the. coroners' jury but it is under-, stood new evidence was presented to the grand jury on which it based its presentment. Under the law th so licitor will now draw bills of indict ment and present them to the grand jury this week and it will be up to that body to decide whether the !orm al indictments will be reti-rned in which case the women would go to trial at the term of ci-.mh'al court which opened here this wee!;. The women named are Mia. Preston Rodgers, the boy's mother; Mr.i. Bon nie Haste, a beauty shop proprirtov ;.nd Lulitn Clarke, a cousin of the buy. The killing took place after a "wild party" at the home "f Mrs. K'idgers. Chiefs of poljce and sheriffs of the : .ate were criticised in the report o Deputy Wurden Honeycutt of State Prison made public during the week. The deputy warden said the law re quired the sheriffs and chiefs to fin gerprint prisoners and file fingerprints with the Prison Bureau of Identifica tion, but only six had kept the law. Rex L. Farmer of Wilson and Ottis W. Duke of Greensboro will not pine, tice law in North Carolina. The Su preme Court barred them from prac tice after they had passed the men tal examination. The ground for burring them was that they were not of sufficient good character for ad mission to the profession. The opin ion was the most far reaching of its kind ever handed down for it set normal limits within prospective at torneys must hold themselves and it has been described as an attempt to rid the legal profession of men devoid of character and shysters by not ad mitting them to practice. Charges against both men had been filed. State Fair Week will be a big Homecoming Week this year, but there will be no fair. Instead there will be big auction sale of the fair site which will be disposed of and a new site bought so that the fair eaa pay off its debts and start in 1927 with a balance to its credit The mote also will allow Raleigh room to expand to the west which baa been prevented by the location at the fair. Ministers will have to pay Income tax on house rent which they escape by virtue of being furnished resi dences by the churches. The amount of rent escaped must be added in as income and taxes paid thereon. Commiaioner Graham of the De partment of Agriculture has started comprehensive experiments in straw berry culture on the Statesville and Willard test farms wh-sro many plots are under cultivation, caca receiv ing a different kind of fertilization. The commissioner is also directing a number of forestry demonstrations and keeps a careful check on the re sults obtained from time to time. The annual state-wile meeting of the North Carolina Horn EconmlA Association is scheduled for Raleigh on March 18 in conjunction with the meeting of the North Carolina Edu cation Aasociatioa. The former is a gathering of homeaeekers,' home eco mic teachers of high schools and col leges, home demonstration agents, women in institutional management and in home economic work. 'The general meetings will be held in the House of Representatives and the sectional meetings in the agricultural building. Revenue Commissioner R. A. Doughton announces that the state law " requires all employers, to re- employees receiving $1,000 or more during the year as heretofore. The commission also advises the imme diate filing of all Income tax reports before penalty clauses become active March 15th. Prof. C. B. Williams of the State Agricultural Extension Service will be glad to furnish free to farmers a comprehensive folder giving fertil izer recommendations for the differ ent kinds of soils based on long time experimental work by soil and fertil izer specialists. Mr. Williams has already distributed more than 10,000 , of these folders from his office at State College. I favor of Virginia cities in the mat Another "postponment" is noted in the Western Union rate hearing. Governor McLean's plans for a State radio station are said to be "almost complete," and he is now figuring with various manufacturers relative to costs of Installation, etc. ! Mr. McLean thinks the proposed sta tion will be a big advertisement for j the State in addition to the great benefit it will bring to rural commu nities which connect themselves with the central station here. The State Department of Revenue and the Carolina Motor Club have de cided to again co-operate in the is sue of liciense plates during the rush period this year, continuously in sev en of the larger cities and only part of the tirae"ln thirteen of the less im portant ones. Full time "connec tions" have been made with the club officers In Asheville, Charlotte, Eliza, beta City, Golds bo ro, Greensboro, Rocky Mount, and Wilmington, the Motor Club to receive 10 cents per against Eastern Carolina1 points in ter of freight rates on fertilizers. The Corporation Commission is sued an order during the week which is designed to remove discrimination plate as compensation ' J. W. Kellog, bacteriologist of the State laboratory of - hygiene for the past fifteen years, is offered the po sition of sanitary engineer for the city of Wilmington and is consider ing the change, although the State seriously objects to his going. Mr. Kellog says he would regret to leave, , 1. A .1 , J J-' dui me salary increase proposea is rather attractive. 1 Governor McLean has been invited to speak before the convention of the North Carolina Automotive Trade Association in Winston-Salem on March 14th where a banquet is to be "pulled off" at the Robert E. Lee Hotel. From the 15th to 17th the Industrial Development Congress will be in session in Memphis, Tenn. The Governor may be unable to attend in person, but has designated many prominent Tar Heels to go as repre sentatives from this State. It is announced that the damage suit started against W. B. Cole ot Rockingham by Rev. A. L. Ormond, father of W. W. Ormond, slain by Cole on August 15th will not be reach ed on the Wake court calendar before the April term of court. Cole is be ing sued for $150,000 damages. Adjutant General Metts announces that a North Carolina National Guard unit is soon to be established at Greenville.

A speeding truck racing down hill and out of control ... A collision . . . Take one look at this photograph. It is not pretty, to be sure, but it will convince any sensible man that all steel construc tion is the only safe construction for a motor car body. That is why Dodge Brothers introduced the all steel body more than eleven years ago, and this year greatly improved and perfected it. In fact. Dodge Brothers are convinced that the day is not far off when wooden motor car bodies will be a curiosity.' People win shudder at? the thought of having ridden in them and will thank Dodge Brother for the greater safety, durability and beauty, too of all steel coostruction. A steel body will stand Up under impacta that would crush the average body to bita. Steel cannot splinter. Steel cannot burn. Steel b an armor of protection on the crowded, hurrying highway. Outwardly, nearly all types of bodies ap 'pear to be all steel. In reality, however, most of them are simply frames of wood covered by a metal shell. Dodge Brothers Motor Car bodies are steel through and through steel rein forced by steel buttressed and braced by steel even the frames and running boards are steel. And slender, stronger steel corner posts replace the customary bulky posts of wood, affording full, unhampered driving vision on all sides a safety feature of the first importance!
