WAYNE COUNTY MAY GET $37,000 FOR ROAD WORK Sum to Be Given Provided County Raises Like Amount. Wayne county may receive from the federal government for the Improvement of the National road within the county, $37,000 provided the county raises a like amount, the committee of Richmond and Wayne county men was informed by the State highway commission last Saturday. The committee appeared before the commission to ask for federal aid in the building of the only strip of road, a mile and a half long, that Is not improved in the entire county. The county commissioners seemed to be in favor of the expenditure of $11,000 for the improvement of this mile and a half of road, since by spending that amount they will be given a like amount by the federal government through the fctate highway commission. The total cost of improving the strip with concrete will be $22,000. The county will also be able to obtain from the commission $26,000 more" for the widening of the present improved portion of the National road, but this will not be given, unless the county agrees to put the same amount in the road. This will not be done, however, according to W. O. Jones, county road superintendent, unless it is asked for by the taxpayers of the county. May Lose It, However. That the county should accept at least a part of the gift is the opinion expressed by Superintendent Jones. Unless this coanty uses this money. It will go to some other county in the state, under the commission's ruling. "Three townships in the county have already spent $317,000 for the improvement of the road. Wayne township, including the city of Richmond, has spent $106,600, Jackson township has spent $119,600 and Center township has spent $91,200 and as all of the other townships in the county as well as other counties and states help wear out these roads, it is no more than fair that the county should get some aid from the government," Jones said Monday.

Mrs. Johnston Reviews History of Art Movement at Opening of Exhibition at High School

A large number of Richmond art lovers attended the opening of the twenty-first annual art exhibit at the nigh school Sunday afternoon. Mrs. M. F. Johnston gave a talk reviewing the history of the art association here and explaining the pictures. "The city of Richmond is already distinguished for what Is called elsewhere 'The Richmond Art Movement'," Mrs. Johnston said in her talk. "With such a past and with so much already accomplished, we can confidently look forward to a continued and rich development of art culture among our people." She spoke at length of the artists represented, most of whom she knows personally, and explained the canvasses from the painter's point of view. She talked convincingly of the ultramodern pictures in the exhibit show, ing their value as examples of the Idyllic-decorative trend in art. Bentley Praises It "The art exhibit is a remarkable one," Principal Bentley of the High school, said Monday. "It is indeed a rare tfeat for Richmond to have so good a collection of paintings." K. V Carman, new vocational director, who just came from Boston and other eastern cities, complimented Richmond on being able to have the exhibit it now has. "We are fortunate in haying here paintings of Birge Harrison and Frederick Waugh, who I think are the leading American artists of the day." William Dudley Foulke, who has been a regular attendant at the exhibits for many years, says this is the Richmond Men Will Attend Convention William M. Bailey and A. C.

Airplane Mechanics Little Heard of, Must Work Nights so Pilots Can Fly During Day

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, Aug. 27. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Night, as well as day, is full of work and hust'e at an army aerodome. Night flights are not frequent, but the night is the time when the mechanics are busiest, putting everything right for whatever tomorrow may bring forth. Long after the sun has sunk beneath the tops of the hangars and the trees have changed from green to black, the hard-worked airplanes drift homewaid, crossing the evening sky, like black specks on a purple cloth and landing with a deep droning on the clipped grass, lame and weary from a long aft ernoon's work over the lines. The day's work is finished; reports are handed in, and the pilots saunter down to their mess-tent among the trees. The mechanics appear, wheel the machines into their respective hangars, and the night'3 work is be gun. 17 Miles to War. It is seventeen miles to the shellholes of No-Man's Land, and all the horrors of war. The long white road, thick with the dust of transport, is silent. The flat aerodrome is in darkness but the hangars, looming black against the evening sky, are bright within. There is much to be done. Mazes of wires must be overhauled; many must be replaced or tautened. The enemy anti-aircraft artillery has been active and some of the planes bear witness of its work. The canvas. wings of one machine are riddled and need long and patient attention before it will be fit for service again. On another, the flying struts must be renewed. On another, the wings are out of shape, the result of straining manoeuvres in aerobatic fighting. The whole means a hard seven hour's of work for the entire staff of mechanics. They settle down to it as a matter of routine. Every time a ma

best of ail. "I was especially pleased with the landscapes, the snow scenes in particular," he said. "However, I do not believe in the new school, represented by the painting of the fruit I do not believe it has succeeded." Mr. Foulke said the scene of the Pacific coast was quite remarkable in the way the light on the waves was painted. Ritchell is the artist. Mrs. Johnston will talk each Sunday afternoon at the art rooms -at 2:000 o'clock. The public is invited to call at any time during the week and especially to the lecture each Sunday. RED CROSS GETS NEW BULLETIN In a recent bulletin received at the Red Cross headquarters, orders were given to discontinue making fracture pillows, muslin bandages, 2x2 gauze sponges, knitted sponges and all laparotomy pads. It stated that knitted scarfs must be 72 inches long, and that sweaters be made instead, where it is possible. Wristlets should be knitted with' the thumb opening at each end, the bulletin reads. All seams and hems on the patient's garments must be on the outside. No reason is given for discontinuing the making of the dressings. Red Cross officials wish to thank all women who have donated sewing machines. Enough have been received so that work is not hampered by the lack of machines. More workers are wanted. Announcement is made that a large number of pajamas and bed garments are cut out ready for women to take home. REV. KENWORTHY ADDRESSES WESTERN FRIENDS MEETING Rev. Truman S. Kenworthy of Richmond, was the principal speaker at the closing session of the Western Yearly Meeting which closed at Plainfield, Ind., Sunday evening. He was formerly pastor of the East Main Street Friends' church. VISITS HIS MOTHER Rev. F. W. Rohlfing has gone to spend a few days with his mother, Mrs. Catherine Rohlfing, at Dillsboro. He will return Thursday morning. Staurolite, an iron-aluminum silicate containing reddish brown and brownish black crystals shaped in single and double crosses, is found in Virginia and North Carolina. chine comes back from the lines it hos to be overhauled, perhaps dismantled. New gadgets must be fitted, the engine repaired and cleaned. Airplanes are after all very delicate pieces of mechanism and need continual attention. Without it they are useless, even dangerous. The accuracy of hundreds of measurements, the trustworthiness of hundreds of parts, are essential to good flying and reliability, and just as much depends on these factors as on the skill of the pilot. He Keeps 'Em Safe. The airplane mechanic doesn't share the dangers of the field or the Hardships of the Infantryman or artilleryman, but he has endless work, and' a very heavy responsibility. When there is heavy air fighting he must frequently work all day and all night, and woe betide the pilot if he should skimp any of his work. Upon his shoulders rests the strength of the squadron and its efficiency. The officer in charge of the aerc drom during the night hours is known as the "Orderly Officer." Warmly clad, to keep out the chills of the night, he walks around the busy shed.? and hangars, now and then offering a word of advice or encouragement, but always with an ear for the telephone bell, for at any moment orders may come through for night bombing or the warding off of some hostile air craft Such orders are very rare, but everything is ready for them when they come. The work in the hangars is so arranged that the steeds appointed for the next day's work shall be ready an hour before dawn. As the first rays of the sun light up the aerodrome, the machines are wheeled out on the

morning's flight. j

Amendment to the soldiers and sailors insurance bill to authorize the government to pay the difference between peace-time premiums and war rates on soldiers and sailors insured by private companies and killed in action will be proposed by assistant secretary Sweet of the department of commerce before tile senate finance sub-committee, in charge of the bill. Mr. Sweet, who is one of the originators of the idea of government insurance for soldiers and sailors will ask the committee to make it possible for private insurance companies to trust thus insure at peace times premiums without incuring a war hazard. Under his proposal the government would bear the difference between peace rates and war rates only upon individuals killed and where the insurance met with no causalties the peace premium would prevail.

CINCINNATI. Sept 17. The German text book. Censoring committer of the Cincinnati public schools announced at a meeting today that they had recommended to Superintendent of Schools Condon that the books "Imvaerland" and "Grossen Kong" b immediately eliminated in their entirety. They added that a number of other German books would undoubtedly be taken out of the schools. With this announcement was appended three standards under which the censoring is being done: "Anything that seems to strengthen the bonds between the fatherland and Americanized Germans rather than between Americanized Germans and the country of their adoption. " . "Anything that seems to glorify autocracy as against democracy. "Anything that seems to glorify militarism." Men Once Discharged May Be Brought Back NEW YORK. Sept. 17.
