MAUNEY Murphy Nov IB TRAFFIC ARTERI KS Suggestion for a Building Line on Statesville Avenue To the Editor of The Observer: The following letter explains it self: Mr Chas Dalton 603 North Tryon St Charlotte Dear Sir: In connection with the forthcoming development of Statesville avenue to the city limits and that part of Graham street between the Southern railway bridge and the Junction of Statesville avepue I wish to suggest that you have the city commissioners establish a building line so that these streets can eventually be made 60 feet wide over all As you of course know this Is one of the main state highway routes coming Into Charlotte and the writer Is now having a petition signed which will widen Graham street from Trade street to Seventh And a number of the property holders north of Seventh street have already requested that this widening be extended as far as the Seaboard Air Line bridge In order to do this it will only be necessary to cut the front off of one store building and the aide off of another As you know Charlotte I badly handicaped for lack of through traffic arteries The only one at present going north being Brevard street Tryon street and Oraham street I am going out town for a week but on my return if I can help you with this matter plea let me know Very truly yours OSMOND BARRINGER Trafllc Engineer Charlotte Nov 17 Still Stepp IUgh!

throughout this section of the State ih all communities where the presence yt the mosquito was known In previous seasons trie pest existed in unusually large numbers but it is likely that In cities whers the mosquito swarmed most aboundingly there were local causes contributing to its existence While the mosquito has now become but -a stinging memory it mlgnt be profitable to enter into brief discussion on cause end effect to the end that next year the city may be largely cleared of the nuisance This is the time to cut the grass from under its feeCso to speak If with the coming of Spring the householders of Charlotte shall have placed their premises in oieanly condition with no accumulation of trash and garbage and with no lurking place for standing water we may expect a comparatively mosquitoless town As the farmers have to fight the boll weevil before he gets here so the householder has to fight against the mosquito before it is born Ir a discussion of the pest In Nature Magazine Mr Weed says one may know the house mosquito by the fact that it has no distinguishing marks Its general color Is light brown and for a mosquito it Is of medium size As with the other species It is only the females which have mouth parts developed for biting Like that of most living things the life history of the house mosquito shows marvelous adaptations to the conditions under which it grows It can develop in water in almost any situation and requires only a week or two to go through the four stages of its existence The mother mosquitoes pass the Winter in great variety of shelter They are very common over" Of course it is the statistician of the Na-tionAl City Bank of New York who Is busying himself with this particular line of figuring Incidentally he gives us some Impressive figures on the magnitude of the match Industry His investigation was prompted by a recent flotation in the purpose of enlarging world match-making that last year the 4675659000000 matches It is

this season in stone piles hollow trees and logs beneath loose bark and in many other similar places When the warm Spring weather comes they sally forth to deposit their small cylindrical eggs In boat-shaped masses on the surface of quiet pools or ponds rain-water barrels watering troughs stagnant ditches It seems to be pretty well established that the house mosquito commonly files only a very short distance from the place where it has developed If mosquitoes are abundant in a house it Is safe to assume that there is water in which they are breeding within a few hundred feet Millions of the little pests may readily be produced in a barrel of rainwater or even an uncovered bucket Some of the most prolific breeding places are empty tin cans which have carelessly been left lying on the ground In positions in which they are filled In rainy weather the biggest match manufacturing countries of the world are the United States Sweden and Japan n1 though Great Britain and Germany are also con-JJ siderable producers drawing their material from the Scandinavian forests where large supplies of the aspen wood are available Japan draws the aspen used In her factories In part from her own forests and In part from those of Manchuria and Siberia In the United States the wood used In manufacturing matches Is the white pine Russia with Its plentiful supply of timber and large population was prior to the war a large manufacturer It is not to be Supposed from the above statements that all of the matches are produced in the six countries named the United States Sweden Japan Russia Great Britain and Germany Limited quantities are produced in other countries and in France the industry is a Government monopoly and those acquainted with the subject assert that the cost of matches used In France Is much greater than in other countries where competition holds down the price and at the same time results In the production of a higher quality of match than those turned out under the Government monopoly in France The fact that the capitalization of the match factories of the United States is nearly $30000-000 suggests that the capital invested in the match industry of the world

As a matter of fact If there had been no bonds for highway construction there would have been no money for building schoolhouses The good roadB North Carolina has built are back of the educational revival They constitute In very fact the' foundation for the educational development The good roads are paying the State enormously in many ways but the most valuable service they are rendering is in promotion of educational interests Mr Witherspoon publicity engineer for the North Carolina Highway Commission has Just sent out a letter to the papers in which he makes review of highway building In this State taking his beginning in 1915 when the Legislature made its first small appropriation for that purpose Reviewing the work which has been since accomplished Mr Witherspoon makes contention that enterprise in the State is paying or will pay larger dividends than the system of good roads which is being built by the State Highway The benefits flowing from building of good roads are not to be measured "in terms of dollars and cents but rather In the Improvement of the social economic and re- liglous life of the and In the onenlng of the doors of colleges and schoolhouses to the youth of the State Mr Witherspoon brings out some facta which it Is well to put on record as prosecution of the W'ork is carried on to the end But when will the end come? It is even now reasonably assured that the people of the State will not permit the stoppage of good roads building with the finishing of the existing contract by the Highway Commls-Blon They will not be content until the entire State Is covered with good roads and there Is at this time report going around that there will be lneletence for another issue of bonds to carry on the work yet further The first $50000000 issue was followed by an issue of $15000000 The Commission has to its record up to the present time under construction and completed 1952 miles of highway at a total cost of $59277527 If laid In a straight line these roads would run from Murphy to Beaufort and back twice Of this 1002 miles are being hard-surfaced at a TnE BAPTIST MULTITUDE Go on any road in any direction with Kuester and he can point out more Baptist churches than one could shake a stick at The Columbia Record is sounding a warning to have a care how they pinch people In South Carolina for "every third and one-eighth in that State is a Baptist North Carolina and South Carolina being sample Southern States it follows as The Record maintains that whole South is full of Baptists" That paper quotes from a survey Just completed by Dr Alldredge which makes report of 6376769 Baptists in the South including the members reporting to all organizations J5The South's ratio of Baptists therefore is one to every 57 persons of all ages This development The Record claims makes of the South Baptist stronghold of the world" as a little more than half the Baptists in existence reside south of the Mason and Dixon line These interesting facts are taken from the survey issued by Doctor Alldredge: The total Baptist strength for the various States embraced In the territory of the Southern Baptist (Convention was found to be as follows: Alabama 522717 Arkansas 258676 District of Columbia 48701 Florida 169845 Georgia 877071 Southern Illinois (the only section of the State co-operating with the Southern Convention 70374 Kentucky 405758 Louisiana 225501 Maryland 41025 Mississippi 679247 Missouri 277896 New Mexico 9786 North Carolina 676911 Okla-' homa 182897 South Carolina 409812 Tennessee 453881 Texas 640978 and Virginia 603712 Mississippi leads the South In the number of Baptists in proportion to the total population of the State there being one Baptist to every 26 persons in that State Georgia is second with one Baptist to every 29 persons Baptist strength in proportion to the total population follow: South Carolina one Baptist to every 88 persons Alabama one to 42 Virginia one to 48 North Carolina one to 44 Tennessee one to 51 Florida one to 67 Kentucky one to 69 Arkansas one to 67 Texas one to 72 Louisiana one to 79 District of Columbia one to 9 Oklahoma one to 11 Missouri one to 12 5 Southern Illinois one to 23 Maryland one to 363 and New Mexico one to 368 New England manufacturers may still talk of kaepllne steam timber for heating i 'muled horses conserve timber for holding their own but at the same time they are manufacturlnff purpoaeSi 8molt not asleep on rospective Southern investments ores of Carolina producing her own Travel Per'" Tb library was collected hv Mr Crennadlus ths former Minister from Greece to London It contolns 5000 volume more fhnn 20 000 other Item in prints manuscripts and photographs and cost It collector more than $260 000 Mr Oennadlus evidently thought that the American school would make THE COWARDLY LION OF OZ( patter caretaker for It then tho by Ruth Thompson Retl- Greeks The Jmerlran sehool ly A Lee (Chicago) now erecting a budding to hnue it This Is a delightful fairy tale It and the Grek government has given Is written In a style that will de-j tb site end passed a Dro ught the hearts of the youngsters enabling thi to he done This is the sixteenth of the fa- mous Oz stories There are somej Sunday In Jerusalem of the old characters in the book Jerusalem and it Sunday!
