Breach Of Faith Charged To John Stcdinan About Highway Fund Idea Raleigh Times Attacks Recommen dations on Highway f und Divisions, HaleJ«li,--CalUn« the report pi former State Treasurer John Sted man, in which lie advocates the combining of the highway and the general funds, "the requiem of good faith in the highway fund,” the Ra leigh Times Monday afternoon says (lie proposal is a breach of faith. Nearly all the slate papers gave Mr. Stednmn big spaer and fine display and most of them treated him gently In editorials. Neither Governor Gardner net Chairman E. H? .fefreas. pf tffe state highway commission, has made public refer ence TO Tt Mr. Stedmun safeguards his suggestions by making it the first duty of the state to apply the highway funds to highway debts, then the surplus as the state sees fit. To which the Times rejoins; "There seems to be technically a strange blindness in this recommen dation In view of what t he state has engaged In the matter of highways, having taken over the county sys tems and provided for the repay ment of several million dollars of } debt incurred by counties in the ! building of roads. Mr Stedm&n I would save enough of highway ; fund, lo pay interest on highway bonds' but what of maintenance and what of interest charges on the funds themselves when the state gets through dipping Into thPin lor schools and other unrelated pur poses ? "Theoretically, this matter of use of a lax specially laid on a special class to provide funds for building a state highway system already has been taken care of by acts of the 1031 general ass»mbly Which amounted to nothing less than a breach of good faith Oaaollne taxes have been Increased and the pro ceeds attempted to be diverted. There is authority In governor to dip into this special fund. Now, If the Stedman recommendation be adopted, the highways will continue to be made the scapegoat until their back Is broken. “All such suggestions constitute a distinct breach of faith of the ob ligation under which the original bonds were issued. But what has a sovereign state to do with private morality if it thinks by Its viola tion It might get the money It is afraid to ask for elsewhere?” (Our readers can |tt an answer to The Cleveland Star Waahtngtor Bureau. 1323 New York avenue, N W.

Penthouse Millionaires Listed As E Janitors To Live In Business Area N#w Tort:, Deo. 14 —They ride in limousines, they have their own val ets. their fortunes run into six and seven figures, but they're janitors just the same. There'S Henry h. Doherty, mil lionaire Public Utilities man. He's the Janitor at 34 State street. And there's Edwin Goodman, mer rhant prince. He's the janitor of a big building at 754 Fifth avenue. And there are dozens more. None of them ever pushes a broom or polishes Ui ass. but tech nically, in the city records, they’re all janitors. Must Be Janitors. A clause in the New York statutes states no one but the Janitor can Uve in a business building. But years ago wealthy men began to build penthouses on the roofs of their office buildings, and they live up to the letter of the law by listing themselves as the Janitors. Penthouses originally were dirty shacks housing tools elevator ma chinery and water tanks. Now many of New York's ' Four Hundred” are penthouse dwellers. The annual rentals of these homes In the clouds run as high as $25,000 which wonid buy a good sized farm The penthouse of the late C. X Eagle, wealthy manufacturer, has a trop cal garden, swarming with strange birds and animals. High above the din of subways and ele vated trains peacocks and pheas ants sun themselves. Former Governor A’fred E. Smith lives in a 12-room penthouse with a solarium, a room full of stuffed ani mals and a game room decorated with hundreds of framed newspaper cartoons of himself. Kreugers Penthouse The late Ivar Kreuger. Swedish match king, had a penthouse which brought gasps of envy from other Park avenue dwellers. He filled a two story balcony with tons of dirt, which had to be imported into Man hattan and hauled up many stories by elevator. Then he planted a for est of huge trees around his roof fop abode. Doherty is credited with starting the penthouse craze about 20 years ago when he built a dwelling on top of hi* office building. Being an in ventor he rigged it up with many trick devices. One was a bed on railroad tracks. He would undress In a warm room. Jump into bed and press a button. A paLr of French windows sprang open, tile bed rolled along the track Into the openalr balcony, and the doors closed. In the morning an other press of a button reversed the procedure. Penthouses are selected for many exclusive parties. Several nights ago a famous actress almost caused a not during one of them by giving a crowd in the street below a drench ing with water from a hose design ed only for sprinkling her lofty gar den.

Urges Caution In Cutting Of Holly For Yule Judicious Use Of Favorite Christ mas Decorations Is Requested. ■Raleigh. Deo. 14—Judicious use of holly as a Christmas decoration Will assure the perpetuation of the most popular tree, but the continu ation of wasteful practices in gath ering will threaten future existence of this beautiful plant in North Carolina, State Forester J. S. Hol mes warned this week, Already the holly has disappear ed or retreated before the perennial armies of holiday enthusiasts in many districts and the future sup ply Is threatened in other places, Mr. Holmes said. In order to perpetuate the plant the cutting of trees and limbs should be carried out wisely, Mr. Holmes continued. In no case should the last of a stand of holly trees be taken from any locality as such a practice would remove all possibil ity of a future supply of natural growth, he warned. A plan of gathering leaves which take not more than 15 or 20 percent of the leaf surface should be fol lowed and cutting should be done with a sharp axe or saw away from the trunk. Through such a policy a permanent supply of holly will be assured, he said. Mr. Holmes pointed to the work of Mrs. U. Gartin Speed, of Bilt more Forest, as haying excellent ef fect In the conservation of holly and other mountain Christmas dec orations. In a recent article in American Forests, official publica tion of the American Forestry As sociation, written by Josephine Lax ton, Mrs. Speed cites an instance in which a woman made $17 by sen ding sprays from a single tree and still has the tree for future prun ing. Holly farming has been profitable in certain parts of this country and might be followed in North Caro lina in the future to advantages Mr. Holmes said. Plantations of holly and the protection of exist ing stands In the woodlands offer fanners opportunities to supple ment the farm income and also to supplement the natural supply. New trees may be propagated by layer ing or from cuttings or by the sprouting of seeds, the state for ester said The Sure, Scientific Way To Banish Body Odors!

Nr* York, Dec. If}.- Declaring three Republican administrations “have failed to do so” Col. Edward M. House, In the current issue of Foreign Affairs, says the atm of the Roosevelt administration will be to "liquidate the war—so that world confidence will be re-tored, world trade freed of its shuckles, and the minds and energies of statesmen everywhere turned to new and con structive purposes.” The confidant of Woodrow Wil son, who is one of President-elect Roosevelt's-close advisors, says the next administration '‘should, make the greatest possible effort to put, the war debts once and for all on j such a basis that they are no longer' a political, question.” In this first discussion of the j Roosevelt foreign affairs policy Col onel House links together war debts, tariffs and disarmaments and says the President-elect's attitude will be a "realistic spirit oi internation al co-operation," while that of the Republican administrations was pa rochial, . "Indeed, it Is no exaggeration to sayf,” adds the colonel, "that the policies of the Harding. Coolidge and Hoover administrations—insplr ed by the selfish and uncooperative attitude which the Republican party adopted because of its implacable hatred of l^oodrow Wilson—must be held in large measure responsible lor the continuation of war psychol ogy. the frustration of all attempts at thorough-going economic rehab ilitation, and the sense of insecurity now' prevailing in every quarter of the world.” As a final word, Colonel House says, "In the same way that the American people have got to under stand that the nations of the world are 'all in one boat, the peoples of other lands will have to realize that pictures of fabulous end eve, lasting prosperity in the United States were unreal and misleading.” How Modern Women Lose Pounds Of Fat Swiftly—Safely Gain Physical Vigor—Youthfulness With Dear Skin and Vivacious Eyes That Sparkle With Glorious Health.
