Within the past few days right here in South Carolina the lives of two happy, bright faced children have l>een arauffed opt while they wore roller-skating off the atreota. We know that there in a lot of fun in roller-skating and we would not want to nee the children of thin com munity denied that pleasure; hut unless this city wanta to see the lifeless form of some little child picked up off the street, some home made desolate and some automobile driver made forever sad, a stop must he put to the indiscriminate rollerakating that has been prevalent in Camden for the past .several weeks. Huidly an uutomobilist in the town hut who can tell of some occasion lately when he has been obliged to hurriedly put on hibrakes and swerve away to keep Com striking a child. The children have ulso got into 'he habit, while, on their roller skate.-, ot catching on to the hack of autoino biles and going down the street at a fast rate, turning loose at a corner I and skating away. Anyone > an seel the tremendous danger in thi- |"a? tice. If this rollerskating i- to continue it is absolutely necessary that sections of the streets he ? ?]? .i off ml the afternoons for these nihiren at I different points in the ?ity and that 10 skating elsewhere an i at any other/n time be strictly forbidden I :J It will be too late !o do thi- when/ we are putting llowr" <>n a newly I j, made grave, Tin t.ne ' act :- n(MV and, City Father-, y* i niu.-t act. ;,t ? af Rotary < luh Notes Tin- wees'- K"-arv piograti wa in charge ot I"1 I Ma-key had two .... e V'.t. r K.

He also , told of pro posed legislation sponsored by the Fish and Game Association, , which would benefit all parts of the State and help restock the depleted game and flah which is so noticeable in South Carolina at this time. Mr. Hoopnoyle told of the Orangeburg hatchery and how flsh and r,sh ogg- are handled and of the demands for game flsh for ponds in all parts >f South Carolina. He told of the : a bits of fl?h in the bedding season, tnd said that all fishing should he itopped at that time, for fishing then 8 like taking a setting hen off of her lest, thereby making i' impossible to aatch out the eggs. He said that South Carolina offered wonderful opportunities for making the state a fishing paradise, and he hoped that more ponds would he hud: and more care taken to protect the fish, especially during the hedomg season.

Tracing Material In Lindbergh Ladder ( Sunday h Augusta Chronicle) The -story of the ladder, over which iht* >laUj of New Jersey contend* that Bruno Kichard Hauptmunn climbed to the window of the CSourland Hi 11 a retreat of the Lindbergh* and kidnaped the sleeping "Eaglet," was unwound here la*t night by State Senator J. J. Horn, of McCormick, us he awaited departure of the train that wan to take him to Fleming ton a* a witness in the famous trial. While Senator Dorn declined to discuss the nature of the testimony he ia expected to give at the trial, he admitted that it would be in connection with identifying the lumber of which the state's attorneys say the kidnap ladder was made us having been produced in his mill at McCormick. "There is no doubt in my mind that the ladder is of lumber turned out at our mill," he said. j "How in the world did the officers trace it, Senator?" he was asked by a reporter of The Augusta Chronicle. "That was just as simple as tracing a man by his finger prints," was I the reply. This apparently preposterous statement was followed with a detailed explanation of all the meandering leads on the origin of the ladder encountered by investigators before they found a hot tip that involved the little city of McCormick and the cities of Augusta and Macon. This is the gist of the senator's illuminating discourse on the subject: "Every make of planing mill leaves a distinguishing mark on the lumber passed through it and dressed by it. Timber experts of the United States forest service understand the language of* boards and can read the story, hidden from the lay eye, as if it were printed in bold type. " I his peculiarity is occasioned by the ratio of drive pulley to the machine pulley. The convolutions on the .-urtace of a dressed board, when men mi red so many to the inch, will indicate the speed at which both pulleys operate, since a count of convolution will indicate how rapidly t ),?culling ?..lge- o! the planing knives were turning. Everyone knows that a < i re- -ei I hoard i- not actually ia perl eel plane. Almost im percept I.'hie lit!!.- hill - and valleys occur at tegular intervals. These are the co\[ volut ions .by which the ratio between it he drive pulley and the machine ate figured by the experts. J "So that, when the investigators began looking around to determine where the kidnaper purchased the luml>er of which his ladder was made i ?the ladder was left on the Eind1 bergh estate by the kidnaper?it be^ came necessary to actually identify the boards themselves. f "Here it was that the forest experts were called in. Some of the ladder lumber was sent to the forestry laboratory at Madison, Wis., and 1 there every feature of it was analyzed 1 under powerful glasses. Finally, "they f determined the make of the planing J machine that turned out the lumber, i doing to the makers, they obtained - lists of all owners of this make of 3 machine?the Woods planing mill. "Engineers or other experts at the ? machine factory examined the lumber ^ closely and admitted the machine that planed it was their make, but noted a further peculiarity. This lumber was planed on one of our mills," they told the investigators, 'hut something is wrong.' doing further into their examination of t.ne lumber and comparison "" Ui'-n products of other machine- of 1 the >ame make, the experts ligu-ed (that the machine from which 'his sjlumU-r came was fitted with at hast i.one pulley which was not in the fac. tory s standard equipment. r I ha. i,a: rowed the search to !ind 1 a Woods machine with a special pull2 ey. The trail eventually led to Mc. dormick and our mill. k "I here, we told them one of oui ^ pulley. The trail eventually led tc , for the reason that it ran the machine too fast for our needs. W? had put on a special pulley of a dif? ferent size, made and furnished for us hv the Ixrmbard Iron Works & a Supply company of Augusta. The} t i an some samples of the same typt i of lumber through our machine anc >. {he search was ended?a perfect . match! t "It remained then only to prove , that lumber from our mill had beer . it: the lumber yard from which the kidnaper bought his lumber. Oui . shipping records were examined b> other experts. They had the roceiv^ ing records of the lumber yard at the other end. They discovered a ship * mer.t to the N^.th .consigned to s dealer that .-old lumber to the yard 1 where the kidnap ladder was bought ? This shipment was sold by us on or a dor of a Macon broker and shippee k direct to the broker's customer, then after passing through another deal er's hands, wound up at the lumbei - yard in question." f Senator Dorn has been in the lum s ber business for years and is consid - ered one of the most substantial buai h ness men in western Carolina.
