HOLLANDERS FIGHT SEA 10 SAVE LAND Detroit.—One of the greatest en gineering problems in Europe, one that has reached the first lap in solution, has to do with draining the Zuider Zee in Holland, according to Prof. N. Y. Polak of Rotterdam, who was at the Hotel Statler recently. Pref. Polak is in the United State3 with a party of his own country men on a tour of investigation and sight-seeing. They are paying par ticular attention to business meth ods. "Holland is one of the few coun tries In the world that is not land poor,” Prof. Polak said. “It has e. constant battle between the sea and the land and constant watchfulness and work has been necessary to keep the former from submerging the latter. But we have always wanted and needed more land, although our methods of intensive cultivation has virtually given us a larger pro ductive area than many countries which possess vastly more. “For generations talk has been in dulged In of draining the Zuider Zee and thus adding, with the aid of more dyke, a considerable area" to our tillage acreage. Engineers spe culated and devised plans, but nothing came of these intermittent activities until the formation of an association almost fifty years ago Then Investigation took on an or ganized complextion. A plan has been adopted that starts with the construction of a main dyke about nineteen miles long, and this will not be completed for perhaps five years. From this lateral, dykes will be constructed resulting In the In closing of certain areas. As soon as one is thus prepared the water will be pumped out. But this is only a beginning:. The land will then have to be purified by removing the salt which was de posited by the sea water. After that has been accomplished the first real work of making It arable will be undertaken. Other similar areas will be drained and prepared as rapidly as possible. "This whole project will invoice an expense of $200,000,000 to $260, 000.000, but it will add 10 per rent to the tillable land of the count! y, and result in many economic changes, to say nothing of the al teration of cur coast line. Tt-w '.and recovered will belong to the state, and while no scheme has been work ed out for its disposal, the general belief is that it will be broken up into small holdings. ‘‘We have seen some of the engin eering work here where remarkable results have been obtained in 'f covering. reclaiming and even whet might be called ‘making’ land, and I am sure that American methods will be adopted to hasten tire work of draining the Zuider Zee.’’ Simmons And Bailey Race Is Discussed\ Prospective Insures Real Primary ; In State, Opinion Of Paper. Greensboro News. Mr. Hoover in 1928 got 350.000 ! North Carolina votes and Mr Smith got up towards 290,000. The estimate of 80,000 Democratic i.i the Hoover votes has been widely accepted. The Republican vote foi Smith has been regarded as negli gible. The Democratic seism was led by Senator Simmons; the 288,000. i early exact, in the Smith column, is considered as representing t’ie regular Democratic strength as ex pressed at the polls the year before last. Lately there have been seen estimates of the size of the Demo cratic revolt as 100,000, or even con siderably more. Josiah William Bailey announces that he will be a candidate in the primary this year against Senator Simmons. If the lines should stand as In 1928, the proportion of regu li.rs and revolts being maintained. Mr. Bailey gets that nomination by more than three to one. If Mr. Sim mons should go whatever distance remains, Into the Republican party, and it the Republicans should ac cept him—theoretically possible, at any rate—the ratio still holding, Mr. Bailey as the Democratic standard bearer would go under the wire a poop second. If Mr. Bailey should be nominated, Mr. Simmons run as an Independent by any name, and the Republicans should nominate a man who would poll their party strength, the lines holding, and giving as the Hoover Democratic vote the compromise figure of 90 000, the general election result would be In the proportions of Bailey 388,000, Republican candi date 260.000, Simmons 90,000. Strictly speaking there cannot be said as yet to be any issue behind the Bailey challenge of Senator Pimmcns, the challenger having but entered the lists, an entrance robbed of dramatics by weeks of I preparatory discussion. However, the principal indictment against I the Incumbent in these discussion has been a departure from regular ity, which he has for decade: preached as a cardinal political vir tue. He, regular of the regulars, re fused to accept a part/ majority verdict; the Democrat of the Demo crats, was found giving the aid ano comfort of his personal influence and weight of his party position aj d public office to the enemy. On reg ularity as the issue, the alignment would logically be the same this ycer as it was in 1928. Unfortunately for purposes of prognostication, logic is not very dependable in politics. The primary is stimulative of participation by the people in their government. Popular government by default has been the rule In North C arolina. There Is no reason to doubt that the candidacy of Mr. Bailey insures a real primary elec tion lu the Democratic party. Per 1 aps it Is better to have a contest on Issues that do not belong In party jx litlcs than to have no contest &l all—for beneath this question of party fealty are the questions on which the people really divided ir, 1928; but there is no warrant at present for declaring what the is sues will be. The Scandal Remains. Salisbury Post. The District of Columbia grand jury, as might have been expected, finds that It cannot indict anybody on the basis of Senator Brookhvrt’v revelations concerning the “liquor party" which certain Wall street gentlemen put on for a group of U. S. senators. Its report points out that the lack cf evidence and "the extraordineiy lapse of time between the alleged violations and the revelation uf facts” make it impossible for the grand Jury to act. This, of course, was tt> be expect ed. Senator Brookhart’s service in speaking as he did—for we believe j that in so speaktng he did perfcrm a service to the nation—lay in the emphasis which it put on the hy pocrisy that Is so prevalent at Washington. The prohibition law is violated frequently there, and the violations are witnessed—to say the least—by the very men who nre sworn to make and uphold, our laws. The grand Jury’s failure to indict doesn’t alter that situation. LADIES GARMENTS Beautifully Cleaned, Beautifully Finished— “We Know How.” THE WHITEWAY “Quality” CLEANERS — DYERS 105 — PHONE — 106 Manners Of Mod:rn Girl Are Criticised By Q~ :en Marie ! 'louinanjan (Juren Discusses Flap- j perism In Interview. Has j Faith Yet. Bucharest, Roumania.—Emanci- j pation of women and lack of man ners should not be confused by young women of today, Queen Ma rie, of Roumania, told the United Press in a specie! New Year mes age to modem women. The queen, whose beauty and cleverness once weighed heavily in Balkan politics and who must be counted in every estimate of the Roumanian political development, has little use for the "noisy, ignor ant and self-assured type of young woman,” but she firmly believes in the merits of the modern genera tion. It was with evident reluctance that Queen Marie gave her opin ions of flapper ism, the royal spokes woman of the court indicated. The Queen’s opinions were given through the court spokeswoman, in reply to questions submitted by the United Press. "There are many more vita! problems of the heur than that o! flapperism,” the Queen protested. Indeed, Queen Marie consented to express her views on this topic, it was strongly emphasized, "only be cause Her Majesty's sympathies are extended so readily to the young, to their ambitions, hopes, aims and activities.” "Young girls,” declared the Queen “should certainly be sufficiently well educated to be allowed to go about alone and behave them selves.” Again, Queen Marie disclaimed any vestige of sympathy with what she termed "those self-sure young things who sprawl unbecomingly on all sofas, grant no respect to their elders or sit on tables with legs crossed and cigarettes hanging from their lips. "Emancipation of women and lack of manners are not the same thing, as some members of the young gen erate nseem to believe,” the queen remarked. Her Majesty's profound sympathy : with young people, the Queen eluci dated, is reflected in her own atti tude toward her daughter, Princess Ileana. “Princess Ileana,’’ the Queen said, "is allowed to act independently. The Princess works for the Y. W. C. A., for schools and hospitals, is the sponsor of the Naval League and the head of the Girl Guides." “In all these affairs," Queen Marie added, “I agree that she should act on her own initiative.” The Queen divulged, how'ever, that she docs not permit Princess Ileana to smoke. Foreign travelers in Queen Mar ie's country have often been struck by marriage customs which, to the Westerner, appear primitive and antiquated. It is still usual for par ents to arrange marriages without their children’s knowledge or con sent. Betrothed couples still fre ciuently sec one another for the first time at the altar. In this '•on nection dowries play an enormous role, both among the millions of peasants who offer their brides, money, land or cattle, and among the wealthier middle class and aris tocracy, where business or brnk ac counts commonly eclipse consider ations of affection in wedlock. Queen Marie discussed these as pects of marriage frankly. “No sensible woman with a warm heart, such as that of Queen Marie, could be opposed to marriage by inclination," the United Press was told. Explaining the marriage customs of Roumania, the Queen said: “Foreigners should be sure to re member that many European coun« tries do not possess legislation, such as that of the United States, which may oblige a divorced husband or one guilty of desertion to support his wife. Lacking such laws, a dowry which grants a woman the possibility of independence is not quite useless. "That women should nevertheless cultivate vocations is entirely na tural," Queen Marie added. The Queen, in conclusion, evinc-; ed a desire to discuss the treatment which the American press has r.T-j corded herself and her family.

REID MISENHEIMER, Proprietor. — PHONE 194 — •‘That treatment,’’ said the Queen “has not always been fair. On oc casions I have been amazed by the absurdity of reports published abroad concerning myself. We may smile at some elaborate nonsense, but it can become irritating, too.” In this connection. Queen Marie mentioned reports that she had been sent into exile by the Ruman ian government, thft she has been contemplating retiring to Switzer land and that, after a quarrel with her daughter-in-law. Princess He lena, the Queen had been ejected from Balcic castle on the B'ack Sea. The Queen explained that Balaic castle belongs to herself, was built by her and Is her private property. “Little King Michael and his mother never live in the same place as the Queen,” the United Press was informed, “except when they are her Majesty's guests, as they often are, at Balcic or at Bran Cas tle in Transylvania.” “Alas for lovers of scandal,” Queen Marie asserted, “Princess Helena and I do not qua-rel and I have never dreamt of taking the little king’s education out of the very able hands of his mother.” After thus giving free rein to her grievances regarding fanciful news reports about herself, Queen Mane, recalling the "wonderfully friendly reception they gave me m the Unit ed States,” requested the United Press to convey hearty greetings and warm wishes for Christmas and for the coming year to America. Prohibition Facts. Winston-Salem Journal. Judge Watson of the local muni cipal court was agreeably surpris ed when, on the morning after Christmas, only five persons charg ed with drunkenness, appeared be fore his tribunal, "is this all of them?” His honor inquired. So well pleased was he with the situation that he discharged the defendants on condition that they keep sober until next Christmas—presuming, perhaps, that if they could hold out that long they would be cured of their leaning toward Inebriety. It was a wise decree and in keeping with the spirit of Christmas. That it was one of the quietest Christmas seasons in the rural sec tions of the county in years was the testimony of Sheriff John B. Mc Creary. "People may say what they please, but there’s not nearly so much liquor being drunk now as formerly,” said the sheriff. "In the old days you could find drunk per I sons staggering around everywhere at Christmas time. Now you hardlj find a drunk person anywhere." "Uncle Ed" Rothrock has been oc duty at the city lockup at nighi every Christmas for the past thir ty-four years. *‘It’s the quietest Christmas I have ever had,” sajs Uncle Ed. He had only twelve pris oners Christmas night and the mun* ber was the same the night after. Theory, idle talk and facts are three quite different things in con nection with prohibition. Facts ar^ given above. They are proffered by reliable officials of county and city. It is needless to comment upon the story these facts tell. His Own Version Abe was about to depart on a hol iday to the continent. Sol had come to the station to wish him good-bye.
