Pauo pointed out the various varie ties and explained their habits. They were gulls, boobys. terns, gannets. frigates and i)right-colored tropic birds. "Frigates are marvelous flyers." she said. “They can't rest on the water, yet they are found hundreds and hundreds of miles from shore. They should be called 'pirate' birds.

Tom was watching her closely, I saw. Then quietly she opened the volume and began to read its pages. "This is it,” she said as she turned the fly leaf. None of us nterrupted as she read fully page after page An expression of bewilderment spread over her face. “What is this?" she asked, and we knew she had reached tbe code. She went through page after page of the tiny figures. Suddenly she looked closer. "It must be true. That’s Tarea’s position exactly." I don t think the girl realized that she was talking aloud. Then she closed the book and handed It back to me without a word, got up and went to the stern rail where she stood looking out to sea. I had seen her face. It was chalk white.

STATE CQLLEQE TO DO FORESTRY WORg Dally DUuateh Hureaa, In jke Sir Whiter Hotel. FIY J. C. iiavkkrvill Raleigh. May 17.-A forestry de partment which will not only serv* woodland owners of North Carolina but will attract students of.forestry! from throughout the southeast, is ap- j propelling mpre of a reality at State College with the announcement this week, that the executive committee of the board o ftrustees had accepted the offer of a. tract of 1500 acres of. forest land near Belhaven in feeaufort coun ty. This tract was offered by A. D. McLean and associates In that county. The donation was not an outright 'iiii, bui is so arranged that proceeds from the timber may be used.to pay nominal sum per acre for the land. The eecutive committee also' ap proved a recommendation of Presi dent E. C. Brooks that the school of agriculture at the college shall be enlarged to include a modern, forestry department, and in the future this school will be known as the school of igriculture and forestry. WEIGHTS, MEASURES LOSSES ARE LARGE Dally Dlxitntcb llurena. In «hr Kir Whiter lintel. lIY J. C. UASKKrtY ILL. Raleigh. May 17. -The people of North Carolina loss fully $1,500,000 a year from lack of proper enforcement of the State's weights and measures regulations as the result of inaccurate scales and measuring devices, al though full and complete inspection of all scales' and measuring devices, including electric, gas and water met ers, could be had for the entire State at a cost of not more than two cents epr person, according to C. Cg Raijcom State superintendent of weights and measures. The appropriation for this work is now so small that general en forcement of the laws and regulations is alprost impossible. Only a small proportion o fthe in accuracies found in scales and pumps are intentional, Baucom says, since many merchants are defraudjng thgm selves as much if not more than their customers. (But there ape found ijant capes where merchants have been flagrantly defrauding, the public. A mind that only sees what lies immediately before jt wiJI fei* when the consideration yf a qeafaaity." _ MAXWELL'S GAINS WORRYING OTHERS (Continued from Page One.) alarmed at the gains Maxwell seems to be making. The first indication that the Foun tain forces are bg comin K worried at prqgjeps was given in Foun tain's speech here last week in whiph he completely ignored Maxwell and did not mention him at all. This was interpreted by some as an overture of friendliness from the Fountain forces to Maxwell forces and as an in vijatipn for a truce. But the Max- 3 ell Managers interpreted It as a dls pet tribute the increasing promi- Ognce Jdaxwel) s assuming. Some think it is an admission by Fountain that he can not do more than get in second place In the first primary and that he Is thus refraining from making any attack on Maxwell in the hope that the Maxwell forces will support him in the second primary. It is this same feosoning. however, .wtych Maxwell peenis to u*ing, singe for the last two weeks or so .Mgxejell bas made little reference to pther than to point out thpt bpth and Ehrlnghaus are not being specific in pointing out where they expect to get the new re venue that will be neded to carry out their programs and pledges. For the Maxwell supporters are definitely ex pectlqg to be in second place in the first primary. So in order to win as much of the Fountain support as possible In the second primary, is undoubtedly dealing as j gently as possible with Fountain, in order not to antagonize his follow ers, whose help he will have to have if he hope sto defeat Ehrlnghaus in a second primary. So it is that Fountain and Maxwell are both taking the same attitude to wards each other and each other's followers, each hoping that he will be in second place. But within the past few day sthere are definite in dications that the Fountain strategists ace beginning to realize that Max well may actually get into second place and that they must defeat the Maxwell trend if they are going to get Fountain even into second place, j So the word is understood to have j gone out to the Fountain managers—i whoever they are— to "watch Max-; well’ and to spike his oqWard march wherever possible. .So far the Ehringhaus strategy has j also been to minimize Maxwell and center its attack upon Fountain, evl- I dently in the belief that if a second primary became necessary it would be between Ehringhaus and Fountain and that a large portion of those who voted for Maxwell would be needed hv the forces to defeat Fountain. .Externally, most of the Ehringhaus supporters continue to I give the impression that the contest is still only between Ehringhaus and Fpuotain and that Maxwell is hardly to,be considered, other than good qatyirally. But it has been learned v wkhin tbe |aat two or three days that the Ehringhaus forces have lately be come much more worried at the pro gress being made by Maxwell than they like lo admit and that more or less “secret orders” have gone out j from Ehringhaus headquarters here i to Ehringhaus managers all over the State to "watch Maxwell” and to bend their efforts henceforth as much to blocking his progress as to impending Fountain. In some sections there are indications that the Ehringhaus i forces have shifted their offensive en tirely from Fountain to Maxwell. The Maxwell forces are not at all j displeased at the new turn events have taken and maintain that both Ehriqgbaus and Fountain have wait- ed too long to recognize Maxwell as a serious contender for thej gubernatorial nomination and that! no/w the mpre they fight him the stronger he is going to become. They contend the biggest blunder made by the Ehringhaus managers so far was the statement they issued predicting that Maxwell would carry only one eoyuty, and giving Ehringhaus 70 counties and Fountain 24, since this has made many Maxwell followers work harder than ever. Dictator Hints Bring On Fire From Hoover’s Foes, Who Sense Great Danger (Continued rrom Dage One.) view, anyway. Who. more appropriate ly than he can deal with them? Therei are too many miryls In congress to accomplish such a task. To bring them to an agreement on a proposition em bracing thousands of details is im possible; the program gets nowhere. "I certainly favor empowering the president to reorganize the entire exe cutive system. And with no requinjj meot for a subsequent congression&l indorsement- or his work will be un-. .done immediately. “I wouldn't call it a.fascist proceed ing either." Byt suppose this plan were adopted; It generally is believed that one of the first executive bodies (it also ii semi-judicial but assuredly would be included in the program which the present administration would abolish is.the Federal Trade commission. (As it happens, this commission is an especial favorite of Senator Howell. He looked a trifle blank at the suggestion. Nevertheless, hie stood by his guns. “I wouldn't like to see that,” he ad mired. “but (hen. congress could re establish it later." Senator Howell is a thorough prev gressive, which gives notable interest to his favorable judgment of the ex tension of extraordinary powers to the president as a depression emergency measure; the ordinary view is that it is a highly cynservatlve -indeed, re actionary proposal. Senator Burton K- Wheeler decid edly so considers it. "Senator Heed,” says the Montana solon. "has put into yrords what big. business .wo.uld 4° M a yn* n ute if it dared, and is, in fact, trying to popu larize, „with Jail t4 e ewrgy of its propaganda. very gpoup which brought the depression upon the country hopes to unload the penalty for It upon others the of the people. “Os course jt can ouly be done by .a dictorship; hence the demand for JuitOne Jiig (Family one. If big business had its way, there would be no election next November. "It isin't a Republican concept alone "Indeed .the scheme .that seems most popular in reactionary circles is the vesting of dictatorial powers in the president, with a ‘coalition cabi net,' dividing the portfolios equally i between the right sort of Republicans j and the right sort of Democrats —the right sort, of course, being big busi ness' sort And congress? "Oh. congress would be scrapped,” rejoined the senator. "I take Senator Reed's hint.” says Senator Marvel M. Logan of Ken tucky, “to have been a warning rather than a thraet- a warning of what re- I actionary influences want the coun try to understand they may feel in clined to fall back on. if legislation takes a direction too highly inimical to their interests "However, there is less danger to democracy than would exrst if we had a popular president. “A ‘T.

A capital of 3120,000 and a surplus of 320,000 is being sold, or, in other words, pur chasers of the new stock are asked to pay 3120 a share for stock of a par value urt 3100. the extra amount being used to create the surplus. It was said after the meeting that approximately 20 percent of the final $32,000 of stock desired to complete the requirements was subscribed in the meeting held today, and it Is be lieved that the remainder can be ob tained from the several hundred names us prospective purchasers who will be called or. by the committee Success by the time of the meeting Thursday night is believed to be as sured. Committees making the rounds for this sale will in some instance call on depositors in the old bank to obtain their signatures to the agreement of fered to depositors to leave their funds on deposit In the new bank About 80 percent of the deposits have been signed, and it was explained that •hose who declined to come in on the agreement are blocking the progress of the movement to restore this bank to the community’s business life The present campaign, however, is not primarily for the purpose of ilgning up depositors, but to sell stock for the new bank. It is believed thai the remaining depositors can be sign ed with less effort once the major task is achieved. The offer to Uie de positors is that ten percent of their money will be available to them or the day the bank open or later, the remainder to be paid in one. two and three years. Depositors who had 320 or less on deposit at the time the bunk alosed will be paid in full. It was pointed out today by those leading in the campaign for new stock that at Burlington the closed Fiist National Bank there opened for business yesterday, with deposits of around 3125,000 and withdrawals of only about 310.000.

Numerous s expected and will amount to fm>J 000.000 to 53.500.000 unlem tt startiing large increase in re collections between now nd One factor that made a very 30 impression upon the New York K era according to Treasurer was the fact that in addition Inga of more than 52.500.000 mad, k Governor Gardner in reducing ftnt by pnations. that another saving of ET 113 had been made ln operatL penses since January 1, i»3 2 8 "This additional reduction in pense made such a strong imprest on the New York banks l It there would have been little f r sibility of getting the additional 000.000 loan."

Stedman said. The fact that North Carolina banks subscribed to 51.000.000 worth of the renewed notes was another in dication of the confidence which the banks in North Carolina have in the State, Stedman said.
