But the imaginary incident, serves to illustrate some <>l the possibilities of the “baby car" which, it is announced, is about to make Its debut In the American market. On November 24 last year we discussed the “baby cars” of England. Now, we learn, the “Baby Austin,” one of the most popular of these diminu tive British motors, is to be manu factured in America, much as Henry Ford and other Americans manufacture their cars in Europe.

His teacher asked him why he was late at school and he said that a man had lost a $5.00 bill and that 100 peo ple were looking for it; when told that was not a justifiable excuse he re plied : “I’ll say it was, l was standing on it.’’ We’d like to get 1000 people looking for a gas and oil that is absolutely inferior and fool proof.

He insists that it. is ‘‘not a scaled-down edition of a larger car. but an entirely new departure in small-car design." The car, in effect, consists of a body with an engine in it. and tour wheels. There is no chassis or chas sis-frame. Each wheel is independ ently mounted in the reinforced body, and there are no axles in the usual sense of ihe word. Neither are there any springs.

Severed Dog Head Is Made To Live Russia was the scrne of one of thr weirdest experiments of modern times when the amputated heart of a dog was brought back to ' life.' By means of a mechanical hoar . nd artificial blood supply, the severed head was made to lick the hands ol scientists and to lake and swallow appetizing: food yet reject bitter lasting food Moreover, the eye.' blinked before strong lights and the I Jaws could be made to open and the teeth to simulate barking though, of course, without sound The operation reports Science and Invention, consisted of anaesthetiz ing the animal and making connec tions with the artificial heart as the operation progress. Thus, the major blood vessels of the neck were connected up before dissection pro ceeded further. At no time, it is re ported, was the animal's head "dead in the sense that it did not react to touches For instance, touching the eyelids caused them to quiver. When the blood nass ing to the brain was no longer ca pable of producing a narcotic ef fect, other anaesthetirs had to be resorted to The operation was completed in less than half an hour Then the animal's head resumed the appear ance of that of a normal animal. The eyes opened, blinked, but did not look around. But whenever the whiskers or other parts of the nead were touched there was marked re action When fingers were placed on the eyelids evidence ol irritation was so violent as to cause the head to almost fall from the illate When a 50-candlepower lamp was held near the head of the eye pupils contracted and the eyes blinked When the mouth was smeared with vinegar the tongue made motion as u iu inspi i live i HMtr aim l nil if i >ir veloped.

In this case every characteristic ol the state of agony and coining death was visible in the head. When cir culation was resumed the head re turned to ‘‘normal," While the whole operation might seem gruesome and inhuman, Sci ence and Invention reminds us mat most m modern researches m fum ing diseases have been conducted with members of the animal king dom as victims Were it nto for ex periments with guinea pigs, rais mice, rabbits and dogs we would not have many of the medical boons we now enjoy. Already heads of living Insects have been transferred from one body to another, and the eyes of fish have been transplanted with out causing death or loss of sight. But one shudders to speculate on the possibility of keeping a human head alive by means of the process here explained.

Robeson County Farmers Now \ Grow Crops Other Than Cotton County Stands High In Agricultural Values. Hull Weevil l.csson. The Robe soman Robeson county, with tot a 1 value of ail farm products last year listed at $8,088,317 by the Farm Fofrea.ster. published by the Fed eral and state, departments if agriculture co-operatively, stands1 third among the Counties of North Carolina in value ol farm product United States census reports of 1920 ranked Robeson as the lead ing agricultural county in Nortn j Carolina in value of f arm products ! and 17111 among (lie fifty leading agricultural counties in the United Stales. Decline to third place in ! the state is due to loss of leadrr- j ship in cotton production without I a counterbalancing gain in other j crops This year's crops mays place Robeson again in the lead. | In production of corn, Robeson stands at the bead of the list, the county's crop last year being val ued at $1,184,940 Wayne county's corn crop last year was second in value in the state to. that of Robe son's. being valued at $986,773. Cleveland eounty led the statu in value of its cotton crop last year $3,892,792. Robeson came second with a cotton crop valued at $3,452,904. Not so many years ago a prediction that Cleveland county, right up in the shadow of the mountains, one day would lead the state in production of cotton would have been classed as ridicu lous. Coming of the boll weevil has changed things. Johnston, which once in a while beats Robe son in cotton, stands third this time, the value of its rot ton crop last year being $3,174 522. C-' In total crop values last year, j Pitt. county leads the state, with j crops valued at $11,754,512, and i Johnston comes second, nosing out j just ahead of Robeson with crop values ot $8,274,305. Robeson's tobacco crop last year was valued at $2,565,684, slightly under the value of the 1927 crop. Mr. ,J. P. Wiggins, banker and leading citizen of Maxton, is quot ed by the Scottish Chief as gel ling comfort from the fact that Robeson has more titan made tip for its loss in decreased produc tion of cotton in the increased pro duction of tobacco. Mr. Wiggins is not alone in not wasting time grirving over Robeson's reduced rank among cotton-producing counties: Thoughtful men of the county have recognized long since that t lie hope of more general prosperity in Robeson lies in di versification rather than in cling ing to cotton as the major money crop. Tobacco is pushing cotton as a close second. Robeson's cot ton crop last year exceeded the tobacco crop of the county by less than a million dollars—$887,220, to be exact—and the combined value of the two crops was $6,013 - 588, or approximately three-fourths ol thr entire crop values produced by the county. Robeson county farmers are di versifying more every year and no doubt within a few years, if i: ! docs not do it this year, the conn- j tv will resume its former place as I the leading agricultural county in j Nortli Carolina. It is going j through a transition period now. | and when it, strikes its stride its j ! crop values should exceed $15.-j I 000 000. i Hoover Election Success For Prohibition, Declared I —— j Anti-Saloon League In Report Cites States Voting In Wrong Column. Washington—The anti-saloon lea | gtir. reporting on prohibition con ditions o\or the country in its 1929 year book, prefaces its reports on each state with citation of presiden tial election results for last Novem ber. regarding the greatly prepon derant number of Hoover victories as triumphs for prohibition. Reports of the state leagues, which are being summarized in 1 this and a previous story. some 1 times fail to describe enforcement I conditions front the dry standpoint in states where the league opinion might be the most interesting. Thus i the Michigan league, doubtless aware of extensive liquor smuggling from Ontario, fails to mention that situation. Other state reports, continued in brief, are | Minnesota A new wet congress i man was elected, with reduction of i wet strength in state house of rep | resentatives. Observance of state's temperance instruction law leaves much to be desired Mississippi—State law limits pos session of liquor to one quart. Missouri—Now has one dry sen ator and 13 drys among lfi con gressmen and a drastic state en forcement law. Montana—Drys fighting to regain ground lost in popular referendum to repeal state enforcement laws in 192ti and defeat ol proposal for new law in 1928 Nebraska—State enforcement of ficers have recently noticeably in creased their activity, resulting in more convictions and heavier pen i allies. ; Nevada — Enforcement badly i handicapped through lack of state ! law State has fewer than 40 j church, which cramps Anti-Saloon ! league New Hampshire—Enforcement of ' fieers are doing good work, but ; state supreme court decision has made it practically impossible to deal with bootleggers on charge of I illegal possession. New Jersey—Drys look forward j to a reasonable degree of enforce ' mcnt as a result of Governor Lar son's election New Mexico.—Nothing to worry ! about. New York—Has been the storm center of opposition for prohibition. Enforcement situation not likely to change without enactment of a state dry law North Dakota—Wets plan to pro 1 mote another referendum in 1930 I after narrow defeat in 1928 Ohio—Enlorcenient made more 1 difficult, by court decision against ! jurisdiction of mayors and justices i of peace in violation. and over whelming 1927 referendum defeat of I proposed drastic enforcement law. Oklahoma — State enforcement : code has been strengthened from i time to time. Oregon—Enforcement conditions improving, despite some difficulties. Pennsylvania—Better control over Industrial alcohol and closing of some illicit breweries. Rhode Island—Has always been a large consumer of beverage liquor State police have greatly streng j thened enforcement. South Carolina — Enforcement I conditions improving steadily, with more and heavier sentences. Texas—Shows a 25 percent, in crease in number of imprisoned bootleggers. Virginia.—More fines and more stills and liquor seized. Trial and conviction under.state law quicker and more certain than under Vo< stead act Washington.—Enforcement con ditions considerably improved in last three years. Wisconsin—Most recent of the states to repeal enforcement laws. Continues to be "a center of anti prohibition agitation. ’ Wyoming—No gain; no loss. Drys anticipate better days. PROFESSORS BAND TO SECURE FREEDOM Washington.—In the alphabet of the American Association of Uni versity Professors, now organizing national headquarters here, "A stands for academic freedom. Dr. Joseph Mayer, on a year's leave from Tufts college, has taken over the task of centralizing the work of 16 national committees, starting with "A" for academic freedom and tenure and ending with MP" for pensions Dr. Mayer ranks the work of com mittee A as the most important phase of the national program in ! behalf of the college professor. The office is intended, among other pur poses, as a clearing house for the complaints of the inhibited or un fairly treated educator. The first official act of Dr May er will be a report on the ease of two University of Missouri psychol ogy professors who were dismissed for circulating a sex questionnaire “Our organization holds that an educator has a right to express himself freely in the field in which he is expert," Dr. Mayer said. “If the studies of an economics profes sor lead him to believe in free trade, he has a perfect right to set forth that conclusion, whether or not the Republican party is in pow er. Only in freedom can we arrive at truth " In the further interest of aca demic freedom, a committee titled "M—on freedom of teaching in | science." is now grappling with the Arkansas anti-evolution law and soon will clear its findings through the new national headquarters.

Sergeant Fred Burrell investi gated and found a pint of whiskey concealed in hollow of the artificial limb which Bob was wearing. Bob. who conducts a pressing club here, is now in jail. Mrs. Katherine Woods of Addle stone, Eng., has again been barred from the football grounds because she attacked an official for his de cisions. Men. women and children in Derby.

Clothes Furnish Sex Appeal, Says Bernard Shaw London.—George Bernard Sha v represented himself as a "expert on sex appeal'’ to the third congress of the World League for Sexual Reform. He said that an important1 function of the t heatre in society j is to educate people in matters of j sex. "But no one calls in playwrights as experts in these matters,’’ ne went on. "they choose priests in stead, who .are celibate, yet claim to be experts. “As an expert, I say the oniv method of creating sex appeal is oy clothes. Women have taken a very large step toward nudity, and sex appeal has vanished. Bring back clothes and it will be increased. Tile voluptuous woman of the 19th cen tury was a masterpiece of sex ap peal from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet. Everything about her, except her cheeks and nose, was a guilty secret. Modern women will probably be shocked by pictures of those Victorian ladies with every contour emphasized and upholstered. The Victorian age was an exceedingly immoral age affec. ed with the disease of exhibition ism. "To the mass of people today art j and beauty are nothing but de- j bauchery. We must fight for class j morality. There must be a division of morality for distinct sections of j the community.
