STOLEN FOR -EXPORT j .- ? i The exportation of stolen auto- j mobiles has reached such propor- j '?iip?s that the National Auto Theft [ Association is campaigning for. leg- ' islation especially airaed at cbeck-; ing the operations between thieves I in this country- and their repre- J sentacives at foreign ports. There already is a federal, statute making pit a felony to take a stclen car across a. state line. An amendment is sought which would prohibit the expert of any car whether boxed cr not, or the is suance of its bill of lading until its several numbers have been m spec-ted by the proper authorities s^dTfound to be i-itact and legally Recorded. Also ihe numbers must be proved not to be on the list of' sicien au tos which the amendment provides shall be kept at the cus tom office at each port of entry in the ;United States: The backing cf automobile clubs,: private owners and trade organ i- j rations is sought to encourage the! ^as-sage of thi? amendment. It j should *be fuiiy accorded. The fact j that, -auto thievery is carried . on \ r.pos sueh a daring scale that an | extensive export business has been j built up in .it should be sufficient i evi?vence of the need for more com- t prensnsive.'legislation to stop this! evIL ' - ' : J * " . j -;?"? ? ?-. I SPEED IN THE AIR ; ' . i \ Although the" ?nited ? States is j far behind several of.the other na-j ti&n$ lU 'ayiation development, it is j not wholly idle. An assistant chfief j of the JJ, S. air se.rT?cer announced j recently that this country is soon to j have the fastest pursuit planes inj the -world. There are 10 of these new planes, each o? a different type, and all built' primarily for speed. The \ sicwyst cf them will make 200 J m?e|v ;?a^ j&ur.

I N?TW DEAL FOR THE DISABLED ! - - ?. - - ? ? r* ? - i A new- hospital policy for dis- i abled soldiers of the World War, j recommended by C. R. Forbes, Di-j rct-lcr cf the Veteran's Bureau, is! heir.? worked rv* iy detail and j is expected to benefit nu major- j :ty cf wounded soldiers under j trea'nntnt L7nder the plan many of the hos pitals now solely concerned with ?medical and surgical care of the soldier will be made centers of vo cational training also. ' All men able!: ^to tackle the educational 3 ' .ix, ..... branch of rehabilitation will be given' work immediately suited to? their tastes and powers, the work to he-- increased as their strength increases. Where hospital accom modations will not permit this en largement of activity, the men will be removed to more satisfactory surroundings. No man will be encouraged to work beyond his s:reiigih. It is said that 65 per c-ei.t of the mental and tubercular war patients are ready for voca rinnar training, though not ready i'- leave the hospitals, and that they will be infinitely happier and their ?.convalescence speeded by fec-lii'is that they are on the way t? independence. If the nev. scheme works out as medfcal and welfare authorities are surc-rhar i: wiil, men who are in a condbfrion to warrant it will even be allowed to go home for the final stages of recovery and vocational trai n:\ig. These men will be kept unUer regular observation to in sure their^ welfare ^?sr Tre? as to prevent any individual from taking .... . ? , ... v v j i i unfair advantage of the means in tended for his- benefit. There is no doubt that this is a mere humane and constructive pro gram than one which discourages rhe convalescent by putting off in definitely activities calculated to restore him to independence. It is reassuring evidence also that live interest in the welfare of the disabled is not wanting, in spite of charges to the contrary. DYED IN THE TREE The* discovery of a method whereby living trees can be com pletely and permanently tinted with any color within forty-eight ; hours is reported from -Germany, j Experiments are being made in i some of the German forests and already furniture and novelties are being turned out from the dyed woods. It is said that remarkably successful imitation of certain nat- j ural" woods is possible by the pro- ? ? ? - - ' - " ' ? ? i cess. The dyeing or staining of lum ber after it has been cut is a diffi cult and hot always satisfactory job. Dyeing the wood in the trees j should 'be a far speedier . process ! and may solve some other diffieul- j ties. But experimentation with col- j or is always a ticklish business, j and it. may prove that exaclty the j same method applied to trees of j the same family and in the same; surroundings still will result in a j good color for one lot of lumber j and an off shade for another. j fn any event, the experiment is ! interesting and ingenious, and if it i proves finally successful may lead j to a practical revolution in; the j wood-staining business. ! ABREST FOR JAYWALKERS In' one of the" eastern cities great indignation was expressed at police officers who arrested and took to! the station pedestrians attempting j to cross the streets when the safe ty signal was turned to give auto mobiles and street Cars the right of way. The officers instead of being condemned should be com mended by their superiors and the public. Traffic regulations which are im posed for the protection of all citi zens must be administered imparti ally in regard to all of them. The pedestrian who dashes across: the street- in defiance of warning signs is just as much a law-breaker as the driver who pushes his car ahead J when the signals are turned against j him. Each violator of the estab- j lished order endangers his own life and that of others. If the automobile driver who fails to observe traffic laws and ] signals is to be arrested for care- ! less driving, the jaywalker in his! turn should be arrested for care- j less walking. Strange as it may' seem, this fact of simple justice j fails to register in most eommuni- j ties. A few pedestrian arrests help j to clarify the point. ?- ? m ? THE WORKING GIRL'S LIVING j ' "" 2 ?' A representative of the Massa- ; chuserts minimum wage commis- i sion finds from her investigations thai a working girl can live on $9 j a week, and for $1C a week can; command not only the. bare neces- \ saries but many of the comforts and luxuri?s of life The larger figure seems reason able enough, if the luxury it rep resent* is not stressed unduly. ?s j for the $9 a week, there will be wide divergence of opinion. t'nquestionably large numbers; of girls, in New England and else where, do manage to exist on that amount., or less. How they do it, and what rhe effect is likely to be on postrtity, is a different question. Less open to controversy is the investigator's statement that few working girls know how to spend their money. This accusation, in deed, may be brought against the big majority of people, in any level of society, but it is most impres sive in the case of the "poor working siri" because the results with her are often :-o tragic, j Tr is mainly a question of know Ling values. The girl lives frugal ly, but not shrewdie. She may squander on clothing and skimp on j food. Or she may buy the flashy ;and trashy clothing and food in stead of the substantial. She does ; not know values. Here is a field for helpful in struction that is broad and urgent. Xo less important than ?arning a living wage is the ability to spend that wage so as to get the living.

Edwin S: Lines. D. D.. of Newark, j X. J., which was characterized 1>y j an appeal for progress. U " 'The hope of the church," he! said. **is in moving forward out of! the land of ease and contentment, . out of the land of prejudice and narrow vision. We need in the church more of the spirit of ad-} venture, more willihgness to get out! of the beaten road and do things in! ways and lake risks/* 1 Emphatic declaration was made : of the need of social service if the J church is to do its highest duty and ' the speaker made a plea for Chris- j tianity as a means of solving in-; dustria! problems. ? The morning service opened, with an imposing and picturesque pro-; cession of the bishops, following j the great vested choir to the stage: of the auditorium. All clad in their : Episcopal robes, dignitaries of the | church from the Near East and j Europe being gorgeously gowned, f the procession made a colorful! picture. A feature of the election of offl- ; cers of the house of deputies was; that for the first time a woman! was elected as an assistant. She; was Miss Helen J. Smith of New ; j York. Her election, however, did j not make her a member of the. ! house. j I The Rev. Dr. Henry Anstice of < |Xew York was nominated to sue-j iceed himself as secretary of the! j hi>use of deputies, but pleaded that: ! because he had served in a secre- j jtarial capacity for 45 years he j (should be allowed to retire. ; The Rev.

Gardiner of Liberia. John C. Ward (of. Brie and Herbert Shipman of Xew York. The bishops for, whom memorial services were held included Bishop Troy Beatty of Tennessee, who died 'April 2:5. 1922. j The Rt. Mev.

FOR PRIMARY Both McLeod and Blease Have Estab lished Campaign Headquarters in Co lumbia With Large Force of Workers Columbia, Sept. 7.?There are two unusually busy offices in Co lumbia this week, that of Thos. G McLeod, and that of Cole L. Blease, both candidates for governor. En larged office forces are at work in both. Printed matter and letters are being mailed out of the two offices in enormous volumes. Wei) known politicians are in charge of both offices. The Blease office is being direct- | ed by Congressman Fred Dominick, j and Eugene "Blease, brother to j the former governor, both of Xevr , berry, with Cliff Langford, of St.! Matthews, assisting. In charge of the McLeod office j j is Robert E. Dennis. Mr.- McLeod's j ; law partner. Mr. Dennis is we'l; known in many parts of the state.: I He is a law graduate of the Uni j versity and of the law department j !of the University of Virginia, and I was twice elected to the legislature j from his home county, Lee. Both candidates are concentrat-1 ing on the securing of the 50.000 votes that were not cast in the first I primary. Both candidate ? are also ! looking strongly to the Piedmont I section, in an effort to line up ! that section. Mr. McLeod is this I week making a campaign through j Spartanburg and Greenville coun i JrieS. I! The second primary of next Tues ; day is watched with keen interest. A heavy vote is expected. If is predicted that the total vote will i probably reach 200,000. MEN IN JAIL ARE HELD FOR MURDER Aiken, Sepf/ 4.?Sheriff Howard [set a successful trap today to se ! cure C. L. Deas and Z. "L. Davis, jsaid to be strikers, hekl by the. Au-! jgusta authorities for the Aiken po-i j lice, upon the charge of murder- j j ing the two Carolina railway ; I guards. ? Eugene Feaster and Reedy Booth. The men, together I with Irwin Williams, another sus-; I pect, are locked up tonight in Ai- | ;ken jail. Both Deas and Davis re-' fused to cr?ss the state line into I Carolina and steps were being ta | ken by Sheriff Howard to extra-:i iditethe men. . The promise, of - a?] j preliminary hearing induced . the two t qappear today under guard j of- Officers Seigler and Sheppard at j the Aiken court house, but in stead of a' preliminary hearing] both were placed in rhe jail, the ! sheriff stating he had evidence enough to hold them. Irwin Williams, who passed by the dead body of Feaster .and the; fatally wounded Booth without, giving the alarm, was induced to j cross the Savannah-river as a wit-! !ness and as he appeared he was' locked up in jail to be held as one; of the principals in The horrible: affair. At the inquest young Wil- j liams swore he had retired in hisi Augusta home at 10 o'clock on the night of the double murder, but it ?was learned that he was in Aiken until midnight and had given a white Aiken barber a ride from j Aiken to his home in Bath. Horse-; treek Valley. In the absence of! Sheriff Howard. Young Williams i was "permitted bond by Magistrate W. B. Raborn in the sum of "$100 to appear as a witness in the case. \ His father is one of the striking j trainmen and the fact of his con-; tradicfory evidence at the inquest would show, it is stated, that he was schooled in silence before he appeared before Coroner Tarver. Several'-men came over with Deay. and Davis expecting to bring them back to Augusta after the prelim inary. ' Xo one is permitted to talk to the prisoners except their attorney, Col. Chambers, of Augusta, and as far as can be learned no prelimi nary is in sight, though Col. Cham bers asked that one be' held Fri day morning at 10 o'clock. The people of Aiken are congratulating Shei*iff Howard on his good work in the case. Governor Harvey has been petitioned to offer a reward of $500 each for the murders of Feaster and Booth. Extra pre cautions will be taken to keep off a possible attack on the Aiken jail tonight by Sheriff Howard, as the crowd from Georgia showed plainly their displeasure at the trick played to secure the three Augusta men.

Sept. 3.?President I Harding's recent request of con (gress for legislaitoh to enable the j federal government to protect j aliens from mob violence has inci I dentally exposed what may prove to be a fatal weakness of -the Dyer anti-lynching bill. The Dyer bill, though it passed the house last winter, had small I chance of passing the senate, or j of even being reported out of the * sena te. judiciary committee, until j the Herrin massacre horrified the ?country; Instantly there was a i change in the attitude of a number j of those in congress, who had been J opposed to the bill or indifferent : to it. and it appeared that the sup port thus gained by the measure would carry it through the sen ate before the end of the present session. The first result proof of jthe change came when the 'senate ! judiciary committee pulled the bill iout of the pigeon hole and reported j it favorably. * ? '?? i But when it was discovered that J President Harding had taken the j Herrin butchery as a text not for ! advocating the prompt enactment j of the anti-lynching bill, but for ?the suggestion of another measure ! member** of congress- asked each j other why the chief executive had j side-stepped what seemed'to be a j fine cpporinity to push a proposal ! to which the administration was j supposed to be committed and l which was already half-enacted. ir The answer, which turned out to j be a'surprise even to the patrons [of "the bill itself, was that the Dyer I bill would not meet the Herrin 'ease.- The much-discussed anti i lynching proposition which hasf 'passed the house, and which now* ! stands on the senate calendar with j a favorable committee report be | hind it. has no application' except - where the victim of mob violence j is charged with a violation of the ! law and has been taken into cus jtody. A man charged with, and 'guilty .of the worst crime in the ; category Would come within the j protection of the: Dyer bill, but that i measure would have no concern iwith a victim of ' mob violence I charged with no offense against the i law. j To illustrate how widespread was ; the misapprehension as to the ; scope of the anti-lynching bill, it j may be noted that Representative 'Mondell. ' of -Wyoming, majority : leader of the house, made the fol ! lowing answer when asked if the t house proposed to take up the , president's recommendation of leg I islatron to protect aliens from : mob violence: j Mr. Mondell:: "My own thought ji?'. that th?> ^nti-lynching bill, .which is- now in the senate, and j which gives the4 federal govern ment jurisdiction in cases of mob j violence, would cover the situation [as regards aliens who were vic itims off mob violence." j Representative Humphreys, of (Mississippi, then threw the advo ! cates-of the Dyer bill into' confu jsion, from whieh they have not |yet recovered, by pointing out tc Mr. Mondell that the anti-lynching j measure can be invoked "oL*y i where a man is mobbed after he i has been accused of some offense." ! In a further discussion which er ! sued.-Representative Dyer himself j was painfully enlightened as to his i own bill by Democratic members j who were familiar with its re I stricted scope. On the other hand, the adoption ) of a bill like Senator Kellogg's, j which undertakes to protect aliens 'from mob violence, would seem-to I be discriminating rather strangely i against American citizens who i have no such federal aegis thrown ? over them in similar instances; If an attempt is made to at tach to the Dyer bill an amend jmcnt making it apply to aliens on jthe principle of the Kellogg bill, ! then to the opposition which the j Dyer - measure already encounters j from states with racial- problems i would be added the opposition Of j organized labor, which is fighting jthe Kellogg proposal bitterly in 'spite of the president's approval of ? it. The Republican, leader of the ; house, the- same Mr. Mondell who j approves of the Dyer bill, has in ?dicated his disapproval of the i Kellogg bill. ' ? The Dyer bill pr poses to pro I tect from-mob violence only the I person accused of crime.- The Kel ? logg bill proposes to protect from mob violence only aliens. Enact - ? ment Of either of these bills, or of both of them, would leave without federal protection only the Simon , Pure American accused of no of S fense. That comes very near be I ing a reductio ad absurdum. Smyrna. Sept. 7.?The rapidly ? advancing army of Turkish natio.n ? alists is now reported less than i forty miles from Smyrna.
