“How best
can.I trade in
, my present car
fora new car?9*
WHEN you are ready to trade in
your present car for a new car, you
naturally want full value for your pres
ent car. But most of all you want full
new car valuei
It will therefore pay you to consider
varying trade-in allowance offers in the
light of these basic facts:
IYour present car has only one funda
mental basis of value: i.e., what the
dealer who accepts it in trade can get for
it in the used car market
2 Your present car has seemingly
different values because competitive
dealers are bidding to sell you a new car.
. Vi. ■
3 The largest allowance offered is not
necessarily the best deal for you.
Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not
4 An excessive allowance may mean
that you are paying an excessive
price for the new car in comparison with
its real value.
First judge the merits of the new car
J in comparison with its price, includ
ing all delivery and finance charges.
Then weigh any difference in allowance
offered on your present car.
6 Remember that you are making a
purchase—not a sale. You are buy
ing a new car and simply using your
present car as a credit against the new
car’s purchase price.

RUTH ELOEB WAS
FOOLISH II! TRIP
dbarnlv Criticized; Good Typist Ot
More Service To Humanity
Than Miss Elder.
New York.—Some American wo
men think that Ruth Elder was
“very foolish” to risk Iter life in
the transatlantic flight, and of
“much less service to humanity than
a good typist.”
While .conceding the courage of
the pretty aviatrix, Or. Katherine
E. Davis, sociologist, called her ad
venture “a mistaken thing for a
young girl to do,” Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, civic leader, criticized
the needless risk involved, and
Winifred Sackvill Stoner, founder
of the League for Fostering Genius,
expressed her preference for good
typists to Ruth Elders nnd Ger
trude Elderles.
Dr. Davis said: “The only time
anyone should undertake a thing
like jeopardizing the happiness of
dear ones is wl.sn he or oho has a
definite chance of accomplishing
something.
“There is no woman alive today
that I know of equipped as to phy
sical makeup and past training and
experience for such a flight.
“Gertrude Ederle is another ex
ample.” she said. “Just as I think
it insane to swim across the chan
nel yvhen there are ships and air
planes to take you across, so I
think it foolhardy to attempt a
flight across the Atlantic when
nothing whatever will be accom
plished by it.
“Miss Elder came out boldly and
said she cared nothing about scien
tific advancement, but wanted to be
the first woman to fly across the
Atlantic. If she had wanted to show
that a woman was capable of ac
complishing what a man had ac
complished, or had wanted to show
that a woman could fly alone like
Lindbergh, that would have been
laudable/
“A fast, accurate typist does
more for the community than a
dozen Gertrude Ederles or ttuth
Eklers."
Gold Mining May
Start At Lenoir
Surveys In Old Nublung Mine Re
veal Encouraging Signs Of
Gold-Bearing Ore.
Lenoir.—Surveys conducted in the
old Nublung gold mine, near here,
by engineers in the employe of C.
K. Brown, of Orlando, Fla., and C.
C. Ricker, New York, who hold op
tions on the property, disclosed en
couraging indications of gold bear
ing ore and dirt, it was learned.
Mr. Brown and Mr. Ricker met '
here last week to go over the j
property with the engineers and re- I
ceive their report. Following this
report it is understood here that;
Mr. Rieker left for New York to
meet wU.h Dr. M. L. Nile of Rum
ford, fciaine. owner of the property
and to exercise the option on the ]
property.
The engineers and option holders ,
did not divulge their plans. How
ever, reports have leaked out that
they were encouraged by the inves
tigations and will buy and begin the
operation of the property. Modern
mining equipment, these reports j
say, will be installed and the mine
will be operated on a big scale.
It was reported here chat Mr.
Ricker or Mr. Brown or both of
them are expected to return to Le
ncir within the next few days to
begin carrying out their plans for
developing this property.
The Nublung gold mine was oper
ated years ago. During its days it
was considered one of the best pay
ing mine properties in the stat(e.
The lead was lost and with the
equipmept then used it could not be
operated at a profit. The separat
ing of the free gold was nof so well
developed at the time and the
mine was abandoned.
Since the decline of gold mining
in the west there has been a tend
ency to rework the mines of this
•section with some modern machin
ery and equipment which it is be
lieved will make it possible to car
ry on a profitable operation.
[CATAWBA SCHOOLS

Newton. Oct. 16—Supt. J. A.
Cspps, of the Catawba . county
schools, held his first county wide
teachers' meeting here Saturday. A
large number of teachers were in
attendance, and all appeared enthu
siastic over the year's work they are
just beginning.
Superintendent' Capps then tool:
charge cf the meeting and urged the
teachers to be accurate in reports
cent to his office. He then announc
ed that all the schools in the countv
, as far as practicable, would use uni

surprise of Mr. Capp s remarks how
ever, was when he announced that
all eight month schools would likelv
begin about the first of August next
year and after running for six-weeks
would be suspended a few weeks to
enable the children to help pick
cctton and gather the other crops
/vs a result of this ruling, he asked
