(By C. K. MARSHALL, JR.) Raleigh.—Research work in prog- ] ress at the textile school of North ! Carolina State college is proving to j be of value to mills of North Caro- | lina and the south, according to numerous comments received daily by Dean Thomas Nelson of the i school. Various yarn tests made by State I college textile experts for mills submitting samples of their pro ducts have disclosed that the pur pose of the college in serving the industry has not been in vain. The school has Just employed two ad-; dltlonal experts who will devote j their full time to textile research, j Various tests will be conducted tor benefit of mills. Sixty-three weave mills recently furnisned the textile school with samples or starches used in the manufacture of yarn and cloth. In formation growing out of such tests disclosed that North Carolina plants are using a good quality of starch., it was announced today by Dean Nelson. The school conducts tests for mills to determine the strength and quality of knit gods, hosiery dye, ] gingham fabrics, to get analysis of j imported sheeting, indigotine per- > centage in indigo paste, and to show 1 cause of cloudyness in black dyed j doth. as starcn is an important ma terial used in making cloth cur school set out to determine wheth er mills of North Carolina were be ■ ins supplied with first class starcn,” said Dean Nelson. “Our research and experimental tests revealed that the starches, generally speak ing, were of suitable matAlal. Our equipment and faculty of experts are always at the disposal of mills desiring any sort of repeats on tests." Reports on the 65 tests were made available by Dean Nelson’s staff to 1,200 cotton mills through out the southern states. A North Carolina Trumpet Blast. Savannah Press. The state of North Carolina took a long step forward yesterday in re maining in the Democratic column In the national election in Novem ber. It listened to and digested a splendid speech in the interest of the Democratic nominees for presi dent and vice president from that staunch and active Democrat, C. Max Gardner, Democratic nominee lor governor of the Old North State Mr. Gardner opened his campaign at Boone, N. C., yesterday. He didn't mince matters as to who he is sup porting for president. He let it be known from his first utterance that he is fox Smith and Robinson and he gave some excellent reasons lor the support he is giving them in these days of political excitement in the state of Senator Simmons and Josephus Daniels. Here is what the Associated Press quotes the nominee of Democracy in North Carolina as saying in re gard to the national Democratic ticket: “While I did not prefer the nom ination of Governor Smith, and did not attend the Houston convention, % would consider myself unworthy as Democratic candidate for governor, unworthy of the trusted responsi bility and leadership my nomination Implies IX in the first speech of the campaign X should hesitate to an nounce my purpose to loyally sup port the entire ticket of my party from constable to president. I stand flatfooted and wholehearted in national matters squarely on tire Houston platform. X have also great admiration for the progressive leg islation Governor Smith has secur ed and applied as governor of New Yprk. I feel that he has demon strated beyond question his absolute integrity, and has exerted his great administrative ability generously and humanely in behalf of the ppo ple rather than interests. While X differ with Governor Smith in some of his personal views, I can, never for a moment forget that I am \ a Democrat and that Govern )r Smith is a Democrat and that he was legally and lawfully nominated by my party. I could never give aid or comfort to the Republican party which for seven years has made government a thing of pur chase. first by the oil companies and second by the special Interests and has turned Its back on every ideal inspiration of Woodrow Wilson.'’ Row splendid all this isl There are candidates for governor in some other Southern states and those who are bearing the banner of Democ racy where campaigns have already been fought out that might profit much from the straight-from-the shoulder declarations of this real Democrat. He does not content himself with the mere statement that “I am a Democratnor docs he ignore in his campaign addresses the fact that A1 Smith is the na tional leader df Democracy, lie slnka or swims, rises or falls with the leader of his party. There is poli tical backbone and courage and honest-to-God Democracy for you. Tobacco Sales High.

(International Newsreel.) MOSCOW AUTOS SET HIGH BATE One Car In Every Three Has Serious Accident During The Tear. Moscow.—A world's record for the largest number of accidents per au tomobile in the city, may Just be claimed by Moscow on the basis of recent statistics. One in every thrte automobiles, it appears, was Involved in a serious mishap here in the past year; and the auto-buses, of which the Red capital is so proud, each ■ sustained an average of three acci dents during the year. Luckily the automobile traffic in the city is comparatively small, :o that the total number of people hurt is low despite the high average of every car. The narrow cobblestone Moscow streets are scarcely suited for auto mobiles—a fact, however, which chauffeurs do not take into account. Cars dash among the plodding droshky and wagon traffic at breath-taking speed. The pedes trians, not yet accustomed to motor cars, exercise too little cars. Foget ting that the new age has overtaken them, they continue to cross streets •while engrossed in a newspaper. At principal crossings traffic po lice are on duty, and a traffic tower with red and blue signal lights has been erected at one point. But driv ers are contemptuous of these legal obstructions. Millions Of Feet Trodding To School Sometime this month, millions of feet will turn toward school. Many will be making their first journey into classrooms and going on their first adventure into discipline and study. Somehow the picture is inspir- ( ing, perhaps the most significant march that is ever made by any organized force. The tiny children, the little tots who are leaving the lawns and fields, the play-rooms and the gar dens, are bearing in their laugh ing little heads the future destines of the country. At school tney will learn loyalty to an ideal. Before long they will thrill to the name of the football heroes; will defend the place where they are making their friends to the last ounce of their enthusiasm. This is the start of the spirit which, in later years will make them leading members of business, civic, social life. It is the duty of every man, and woman in this locality to help those new children to a full appreciation, of the opportunities which exist tor them right here where they are. We will need every one of them some time in the future when they leave school for the last time, with their diplomas under their arms. In our home activities, make them proud of the examples we set. In our civic life make them glad to be in the parks, the driveways, the surroundings we provide for them. In our business life, make then realize that, in our stores, In our merchandise, in our business 'd^als, we are serving hem with the best that the world affords. Ten, fifteen, twenty years, they go before we know it. Will we, in the few short months they give ns, have made ourselves a part of the life of the children who are stai , j ing off to school tcd?y? Once Could Only Hear And Obey But Talks Now. Inventor Adds Words The evolution ol the mechanical man has taken a further step, we are told by a writer In the New York Times. Formerly it could do nothing but hear and obey. Now it can talk back. The Tc.fvex was hailed as the perfect employee when it was first invented by R. J. Wcns ley of the Westinghouse company, because it could obey orders, and do nothing else. It could not even speak when spoken to. Now. the writer says, the inventor has en dowed it with words. He continues: "When it is hailed over the tele phone it responds in a well modu lated and deferential voice: “ Televox speaking.' "It can even initiate a conversa tion. If something goes wrong, for Instance, at a power substation where the Televox is on duty, it can lift the receiver and say: “ 'This is the televox calling for Main 5000.’ “When the televox is connected with that number the conversation will continue in buzzer code. The man at headquarters will ask by interrogatory buzzes what is wrong, and the televox will reply in the same form. one. two. or three buzzes, or a combination of buzzes, each meaning something different. “In place of vocal cords the me chanical man has had a talking film introduced among its organs. The words to be spoken are record ed by photography on a film and introduced into the physiology of. the man that was born in a labora tory. “An English-speaking race of ma chines is now being reared by the Westinghouse company to substi tute for watchmen in power substa tions where the information to be transmitted is not complicated. Ad justments are made so that a break in the electrical current in one place causes a set-up in the machine which reports that fact. A break elsewhere causes a different set-up and a different report. “A particularly human touch was d Colds Vapors inhaled quickly clear head visas Over 21 M iLuoN, Jars Used Year l for— Real Estate ■fz \ Fire Insurance i Liability Insurance Stocks I Bonds ^^ !

C.—“I took Cardui at Intervals lor three years, ant, have been in good health since last fall,” says Mrs. Noble J. Hayes, who lives i.ear here. "My improvement after taking a course of this medi cine was really remarkable. “I am much stronger and can ac complish so much more work now. My weight increased twenty pounds, and my color is fresh and good. “For a long time I had been feel ing poorly. Some days I dragged around the house and had not enough energy to do my housework. “I worried a lot about myself. I did not seem like myself, and my nerves were all on edge. I did not sleep well, and my appetite left me. “I found Cardui to be an excel lent tonic. After I had taken it a few weeks, I began to pick up and to gain in weight and strength. “Now I am in fine health. I have recommended Cardui to many of my friends, and shall continue to do so.” For over 50 years, Cardui has been used with success and recom mended by thousands of women for weakness and similar ailments. Try it for your troubles.1 At all drug stores. NC-192 i introduced by the Inventor, who hah started the talking career of his electrical young men by furnishing them with language in which to complain about the weather. They are adjusted so that they can call up headquarters and report 'It's hot.' or ‘It's cold.' This information is of value as a warning, because too much heat or cold is dangerous to the engine. “The first three members of the mechanical race—familiarly known as 'Adam.' ‘Cain.’ and r'Abel,’ Eve be ing omitted because the automatic kingdom has not been divided into two factions—are on duty in Wash ing ten as,employees of the war de partment. assigned to report on the condition of the city's water sup ply. Adam, Cain, and Abel furnish daily bulletins on the amount of wa ter in each reservoir. "The part played by the human voice in this interesting tribe is not a mere humorous conception on the part of the inventor, but is ah indispensable part of the mechan ism. The telephone company does not a How any electrical or other devices to be hitched onto telephone receivers. In order to set the me chanisms in action at a distance by telephone, therefore, it is necessary to make them sensitive to human speech range. Each machine is sen sitive to a variety of sounds and performs different functions, ac cording to the pitch in which it is addrest. The ability to talk as well as hear was necessary to enable it to call for a number and to an nounce itself. " 'By means of the tclevox.- Mr Wensley said, a ioad dispatcher of an electric power company or street railway can call or receive reports on the status of every machine in the station, and start or stop machines, open and close switches, and per form other operations at will. •"Automatic operation of electri cal machinery has been in use for several years, but all systems now employed require special wires run from the supervising points to the station. Dhere stations are many miles away, numerous such Installa tions may be very expensive. Tele phone connections to all points al ways exist, however, and by using these lines for supervisory control, the cost of the control system is greatly reduced.” 666 Cures Chills And Fever, interir.itent, Remittent and Gilious Fever Rue to Malaria.

NOW August has added its sweeping plu rality to Wiilys-Overland’s impressive total for 1928. Eight consecutive months have broken every record for the corresponding months in all of Willys-Overland’s 29-year history. Last month 6896 more people bought Whippet and W'illys-Knight cars than in August, 1927— a gain of more than two-thirds! Experienced motorists are quick to appreciate the superiority of the Whippet Four, with its many engineering advantages never before brought to the light car field;—the Whippet Six, the world’s lowest priced Six, with 7-bcaring crankshaft and other costly car features;—and the W'illys-Knight Six, which now, at the lowest prices in history, brings the unmatchable smoothness, silence, power and operating econ omy of the patented double sleeve-valve engine within easy reach of thousands of new buyers.
