Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 15.?The |
| $3,174* htill missing' from the $64,4*00
loot obtained by four men in a staged '
hold-up several weeks' ago of the i
American Trust Company truck hero *
weighed heavily in the sea lew of jus- I
tice today as the quartet were sen
tenced.
Walter Thomas and Victor S. Hun- <
ter received sentences of seven to ten ?
years because Judge Oglesby hehl J
them responsible for not turning in i
the balance of the robbery's proceeds.
Carl E. Bailey, trusted bank guard i
for a number of years, who admitted
enginoering the "hold-up" was let off
with three to five years, while the
( fourth ^j^ember of the group, Richard
McManus was given on? to two
years. ,
Bailey, it was established, had
never handled the money after it was
taken from the bank's steel-clad <
truck, and today, by way of reparation
for his part in the loss of the
$.1,176, he offered to give a mortgage
on his home and automobile. Judg^
Oglcsby declined the offer but announced
he gave it consideration in
fixing the punishment.
McManus was also said never to
have handled any of the stolen money
and the other three were quoted as
saying he had joined them in the enterprise
only after a great deal of
persuasion.
Testimony was introduced that
Thomas and Hunter had taken the
money and hidden it.
Thomas, Hunter and McManus are
all from Union coujjty.
Acting on the belief that business
will soon return to normal the Hudson
Motor Car company in Detroit,
Mich., Tuesday reinstated 1,000 men
in employment in addition to 1,500
rehired the first of last week and
announced that another 1,000 would
be called in one week from today.
"The business depression has been
caused chiefly by fear," William J.
McAneeny, president of the company,
stated. "We are re-employing 3,500
men because we feel that the employment
curve turns upward, much
of the depression will be removed.

Kill Worthless Trees
Have Retter Pastures
Kershaw county is develpping her
pastures and forestry resouroes and J
!n <*>*"*cti?n with the pasture work
>? realised that many worthless
trees should be killed in oiyler for,
the pasture grass to grow and develop.
It is realized ah*> that where
,4Aok jack oaks and other trees are
ut down they usually sprout out and
?use a great deal of trouble and
binder the growth of valuable grasses
and legumes.
Such worthless trees can easily be
killed 8o that they will never sprout i
Main by poisoning with the following I
poison:
"A compound preparer! with either
sal-soda or caustic soda and white
arsenic is used for killing trees or
sprouting stumps. The formula and
directions for preparing this compound
have been furnished by the office
otf farm management and furm
economics of the United States department
of agriculture and are given
below:
lo one gallon of water (some have
Prepared this solution with two gallons
of water instead of one, with
good results) add one pound of white
arsenic and bring the mixture to the
boiling point. Then add two pounds
of sal soda and boil until the mixture
becomes clear, which will be in
-5 or 40 minutes.
In case caustic sodu is used instead
of sal soda, use only one pound for
each pound of white arsenic. To prepare
the compound with caustic soda,
buy the granulated form which
C#n "be obtained from dealers in laundry
supplies or from large wholesale
druggists. Put the required amount
of water in a barrel and pour in the
caustic soda. The action of water
upon the caustic soda generates, sufficient
heat to dissolve the arsenic
which should be poured in slowly (to
prevent foaming over and thus preventing
possible scalding and scattering
of the poison) as soon as the water
begins to steam. Stir vigorous-!
ly with a wooden paddle until themixture
cools. If all the arsenic has !
not dissolved, heat until it goes into |
solution, but if done correctly all the
arsenic should dissolve the first time. !
If a little whiting is added to this '
solution it will be easy to tell which
trees have been treated.
Both the arsenic and the caustic
Isoda are exceedingly poisonous and
gi eat care should be takerv-not to inhale
or swallow any of the dust or
fumes arising when the preparation
is being made. Do not prepare this
compound in any vessels that may
afterwards be used in the house or
for feeding stock, and it should not
be left where irresponsible persons
or stock can have "access to it. Stock
should not be turned into the field
where it has been used until rains
have washed away nil iho j^:sori
To use the preparation, cut gashes
through the bark in the trunk of the
tree. The cuts should be shallow,
just into the sapwood and close
enough so that there will be a ring
of poison around the tree. Make the
cuts so they will retain the poison in
j
stead of permitting it to run down
the trunk. A large spoonful of liquid
should be poured into each cut. An
/ **
old teakettle with a long spout is a
satisfactory vessel to use in applying
it to the tree.
Generally, it is used during the
early part of the growing season, but
some claim it is most effective if used
in the early fall. The solution tends
to become less effective if kept longer
than six months. If kept in an
air-tight container, however, it will
retain its strength much longer.
The species of trees which seem
most susceptible to the poison are
the hardwoods, including elms, maples,
oaks, locusts and ash. Gums,
persimmon, hickories, pines, cottonwood
are less liable to be killed.
If not convenient to make this preparation
a list of firms who manufacture
one of a similar nature may
bo obtained on request to your couikty
agent." Henry D. Green,

Unselfish Service to Others
O r
Is a Telephone Tradition
Once every year there is an award of Vail medals for
liell telephone workers. These are given in recognition of
acts that are considered as outstanding in noteworthy public
service, and four have been awarded to Southern Hell
workers this year.
Every day more than 20,000 people in the Southern liell
telephone organization arc giving their utmost endeavors
to the service of the pubjic. To most of them there does
not come the opportunity for heroic or noteworthy conduct.
And yet it is their conscientious daily fulfilment of
their duty to the company and to the public that makes
t possible the smooth and satisfactory service that you have
coine to accept as a matter of course.
Usually it is only in emergencies that heroic acts are
called for, but every hour of every day the telephone
fraternity is giving you the best they can to serve your
needs, and, if necessary they will rise to a crisis and demonstrate
that they, too, place service above self.

Ford Digs Two Mile Tunnel for ^ ?
A Billion Gallons of Water a Day
i
NEARLY a billion gallons of water
a day?more than is used by
the cities of Detroit. Philadelphia.
Cincinnati and Washington combined?will
be the capacity of a huge
tannel now nearing completion at the
Rouge Plant of the Ford Motor Com
t>any. Dearliprn. Michigan.
The tunnel will replace the present
water intake sys^m which supplies
the Ford plants with 600,000.000 galIons
a day. At the same time the company
is remodeling its power house to
greatly Increase the power output.
Both improvements, coating several
million dollars, are being made to en'large
the production facilities of the
^Ford plant.
Sixty Feet Under Ground
I
In constructing the waterway, the
'largest of its kind ever undertaken by*
a single business concern, the engineers
are burrowing sixty feet under
ground for a distance of two and a fifth
miles. They have gone under main
highways, railroads, street car tracks,
bridges, a cemetery .and a creek.
One of the most difficult tasks was
, that of tunneling under Baby Creek at
< a point which Is crossed by a railroad
bridge and when? also a large sewer
*1' under construction by the city of
Detroit. The plies that provide the
foundation for the bridge and those
driven by the company constructing
the sewer formed a network on each
side of the creek. It was the task of
the Ford engineers to burrow under
the creek, eewsr and bridge, going
between the pile* without striking or
weakening them. ,
Boring of the tunnel ia accomplished
by means of a shield?a largw steel
cylinder fourteen feet long and twenty
one feet in outside diameter with a
solid steel shell or skin two and a
fourth Inches thick. This shield has a
bulkhead which is made fast near the
front end. There are four openings
through which the mud streams, like
toothpaste from a tube, as the shield
Is shored forward by twenty powerful
hydraulic Jacks.'
When,, the shield has been pushed
forward raBcIently concrete blocks
two and a'half feet wide and fire feet
long, each weighing 1,410 pounds, are
' C J : ''V
placed
to form a ring around the circumference
of the tunnel. One of them
act* as a keystone so that the lining
of concrete, which la eighteen lnchea
thick, withstands the pressure of the
earth. After this steel forme are set
up and filled with concrete to form n
solid Inner lining which Is also eight
Ms Inches thick. ?
The present intake system of the
Ford plant has a capacity of W>0,000,000
gallons a day. Ike new tunnel will be
