a peace-time organization. He serv

fourteen months.
All these facts are a matter of

C. Upon the record of his services,
and the tracing of his present dis
ability to his service in the army
he was admitted as a patient in the
government hospital at Oteen
where he is now receiving treat

To say that I misrepresented the
facts of his service <n> a soldier In

X am but a defense'ess woman, but

Shelby Highs Play
Mt. Airy Today For

Young Slielby Team Defeats Cher

Western Title.
A youthful Sheiby high base
hall team Is playing the strong
Mt. Airy team In Mt. Airy this
afternoon for the Western North
Carolina baseball (hampiomhlp
in class B. The winner of today's
game v|il go to Chapel Hill to
play for the state title.
It Is the sixth time that a Shemy
team has been In the Western fin

3-2 score to get the right to meet
Mt. Airy for the championship.
Strongest Toe
Mt. Airy with a remarkable rec
ord for the season, Is a favorite to
eliminate the youth outfit from
Shelby today. Dean, Mt. Airy south
paw, is considered or.e of the best
high school hurlers ever developed
In the state and he will be pitted
against Shelby this ifiernoon in an
effort to eliminate tht Morris team.
He is the same s*ar athlete a no
played first base to- the flnt Mt.
Airy club Shelby defeated two years
ago. In five games this season he
has struck out over 50 opposing
hitters. Shelby's young team, how
ever, has shown better hitting aoj
lty against left-handers this year
than against right-tand chunkers.
If the youngsters can manage to
steady-up their fielding and not
blow up. they are *ivcn an outside
chance to win todav. In hitting thev
axe expected to measure up W'th
the opposition. But with Jolley In
eligible for play and outfielder Btli
Harrlll shifted to the infield, the
defense of the team has cracked at
Inopportune times. Should the
youngsters field .and play head-tm*.
ball as they did aga'nst Gastonia,
today’s contest should be a corker.
Anyway, the team made up of
youngsters and buttt around onlv
one regular from lass year has sur
prised and elated home-town fane
in getting to the western finals.

Much Changed
Economy Bill
Instep of Catting Expenses 210
Miltons, it Cuts Only 43
Millions.
Washington, May 5.—Virtually
useless as an aid to budget balanc
ing, the economy bill was through
the house today, a mere shadow of
the 1210,000,000 measure originally
drafted.
It was passed and sent to the sen
ate easily enough last night, carry
ing $42,300,000 of savings, but only
after the Insurgent majority had
withstood on nine successive roll
calls the desperate efforts of regu
lar leaders to force reinstatement
of big economies previously voted
down.
Inal Ooutlook Uncertain.
The final outlook for the bill was
uncertain. The senate, busy with
the tax bill and other legislation,
has so far given the measure scant
attention but, being attached to the
legislyative apropriation bill it ib
sure to get action,
All the bill can accomplish in its
present shape it:
Authorize President Hoover to re
organize government agencies sub
ject to congressional approval and
create a public works administra
tion to concentrate all but military
and rivers and harbors work: dis
banding or reduce the Philippine
scouts, and reorganize the shipping
board to save $2,500,000.
Suspend all overtime pay, auto
matic promotions and salary raises,
and retire all superannuated gov
ernment employes, reducing travel
ing allowances of railway mall
clerks and congressmen, and Cur
tailing the transfer from post to
post of officer* and enlisted men of
the army and navy.
Salary Cuts 11 Percent.
Cut by 11 per cent all govern
ment salaries above a $2,600 .ex
emption and prevent retired mili
tary and naval officers holding gov
ernment positions from drawing
more than $3,000 a year through
their retirement compensation.
Reduce government printing ex
penditures by $4,000,000; set a $10,
000 limit on Salaries in government
boards, corporations and commis
sions, and transfer and consolidate,
several departmental activities.
Because the bill had been so
nearly destroyed Chairman McDuf
fie, Democrat, Alabama, of the com
rnittee which drew it, cast his vote
against the measure.
"The action of the house goes to
prove,” he said, "that organized
minorities, propagandists and bu
reaucrats have control of this gov

Raleigh, May S.—Collections of
the 15-cent ad valorem tax on prop

six months school term are coming
in very slowly, John P. Stedman,
state treasurer, said today.
Receipts to May 1 have aggregat

of the yield by the tax was $4,454,

How Much Beer Tax

It is orobable that during ttie
coming y;ar we are going to hear a
whole lot more about the proposal
to legalize the sale cf real beer atu!
collect a federal tax on it. both a
a means of knocking the props out
from under the racketeering oetr
barons and as a means of refllllna
an empty federal treasury. Tha
being the case, it might be en
lightening to look at a few figures
on the matter.
In 1914—a norma* pre-war ycai
—Americans consumed a little mot#
than 66,000,000 barrels of beer, 0‘
which customs and excise taxes woe
levied at the rate of about a dollar
