Walking around over Mocksville today, and traveling over the county in a Spanket, finds some wonderr ful changes as compared to condi tions when the editor of The Re cord arrived here some 27 years ago. It was in 1907 that we arrived in Mocksville and took over The Davie Record, which was started in 1899 by Mr E. H Morris. When we arrived here we found not a vacant house in town, and were forced to store our furniture and worldly goods in the old brick tobacco factory building which was later remodeled and is ndw occupied by Allison-Johnson Co. Later on we were able to get a cottage on Church street where we sojourned for about two months until the old Griffin house, owned by W. A Griffin, became vacant. This house is now occupied by A. M Kim brough. The Record office at that time was located in the old Masonic building which was on the same site that the present Masonic tem ple occupies, and The Record of fice, after several moves, finds it self on the same spot that it oc cupied more than a quarter of a century ago. In the building at that time, was the postoffice, with E. H. Morris as postmaster, The Recoid office, and the law office-, and the law offices of A. T. Grant On the second floor was the Masonic hall and a. protograph gallery own ed by Mr. Snow. • V; When we arrived^ in- Mocksville. :tU ei% w ^-i^iarsiag^e’‘fobt ot-hd^- surface road in' the county, arid not a foot of concrete sidewalks in the town. The old court house stood in the middle of the square where highways 48, 90 and 86 now cross. Tiie jail still stands on the same location, but has been re modeled and is now owned and oc cupied by L S. Kurfees. This is one of the oldest brick building in the county and was erected in 1839. The late M. R. Chaffin was a young hoy when this building was erected, and he rolled shavings" out of the building during its construction. Among the business houses in Mocksville when we arrived here were C. C. Sanford Sons C., Jo. W. Bailey, William Bailey, Dr. Kim brough’s drug store, E. E. Hunts nardware store, Williams and Anderson, aid perhaps two or three others. There is but one firm in business here now that was in op eration then—C. C. Sanford Sons Co. Horn Bros. & [ohnston owned a flour mill here at that time, and the Mocksville Furniture Co., was in operation, but Burned -down sev- .eral years later. Among the me dical doctors here at that time were Drs.- Jas. McGuire, M. D. Kim brough. Baxter Clement, W. C. Martin and J. W. Rowell. Of these doctors the first three have passed to their reward. Drs. Martin and Rodwell are still practing medicine here. The following lawyers were- liv ing here at that time: E. L. Gaith er, T. B. Bailey, Jacob Stewart, E. H-. Morris, Thos. Chaffin, A. T. Grant, Jri AU of these legal lights are still living in Mocksville, ex cept T. B. Bailey. Among the leading citizens of the town at that time many of them have passed over the river. Among those we can recall at this time were-C. C. Sanford, Thomas and Albert Kelly, Lemuel Gaither, E. E. Hunt, Dr. Jam es McGuire, Dr. M. D. Kim brough, Dr. Baxter Clement, :C. A Clement. T. B. Bailey, Charles Meroney,- J. W. Bailey, A. T. Grant. Sr. M. R. Chaffin.1 J. L. Sheek1 Frank Johnson. W. A Owens, James McGuire, W. K. Clement, Willie Smith, John H. Clement. John Stonestreet, Dr. A. Z Taylor, G E Horn, Herbert IfUMBER 24 and Walter Clement, J. D. Casejf and many others. Qf the business1 houses and factories that were in business here 27 "years ago, there, are but two,"-here now—C. C. Sani ford Sons Co. ,‘.and Horn Johnstongj flour mill. There was not a gradedi school in the county at that time| and so far as we remember - ther4 was not a steel bridge The Yad^ kin River was crossed by ferry off the Winston and Lexington roads,-; Whichl were unimproved dirt roads at that time. A terry was used be tween Mocksville and Salisbury across the little Yadkin. When high waters came, the travelers had to campon the banks of the streams .until they ran down. Today the' county is well provided with fine^ hard-surface . roads, concrete and; steel bridges span practically all the streams, and substantial school buildings are to be found in five out of the seven townships in the county. Wonderful changes have taken place in Mocksville and Davie during the past quarter of a century. Sometimes we wonder if all the changes have been for the best. In the good old days before the ladies rolled their hose and the automobile: made its appearance, the world;; moved along at a slow pace, but the peoble went to church, they read their Bibles, paid their honest debts, thought it a disgrace to work on Sunday, and would have ,.held their bands in Jiorror. if. they- had caught one of tbeir young daugh ters smoking a cigarette or drifljking; beer at a bridge party.. It doesjpne An Editor Who Hews To The Line. Ratheran extraordinary publi cation is made in consicious posi in this week’s edition of The. Rich mond County Journal, published Rockingham. The editor of Jhati paper, Scott M Thomas, known as a 'dry” "mixed South -Carolina corn liquor and Pennsyl vania beer, drank too much of both ■ind landed in jail here a few minutes after mignight, Saturday.” There this dry editor remained a couple of hoars when he was bailed out by a friend. According to his .own /statement, he was charged with ‘ being drunk, blit from gen Jeral reports he could have been [chargedjalso from being disorderly” The statement goes on to give in detail his two hours’ experience in the calaboose. When he was Ieav ifag. he was taunted by one .of bis* erstwhile companions in cement and iron confinement, who wanted to know if the editor was “going to put that in the paper.” Scott’s answer was that “an editor who does not put his own misfortune In print has no right to publish Othei’s.” So, the next issue of his paper carried accounts of his sinning and arrest and imprison ment, and penalizing, emphasized ■by extra displayed position. It is what The Observer regards, as one of the mos_t remarkable incidents in North Carolina newspaper his- ■to.ty, but it writes down Editor iThomas as a man of true grit and !hey Didn’t Advertise* A Statement on Prohi• citizeus, a number of new mills and factories, good church and sfchool buildings, good, sidewalks, and streets, water works; electric power, good public buildings, and many other things to be proud of. While we enjoyed living here in the old days we find many things to be thankful for even in these ddys of Federal aid, when we can read the wonderful things that are happen ing by'an electric light instead of a pine torch, and can take a drink of fresh water without going to the well on.a cold morning. and draw ing up a bucket with an ice-cover ed, chain. “Well; such is life. A Sensible! Attitude. Speakicg as manager of the United Dry Forcesof North Carolina, Cale K.Burgess says: “We are not anti cipating any fight upon beer. I do not say that we will, not oppose the beer law, but. I do not thing we will." That is a sensible attitude. The drys won a handsome victory. They swept the state and no doubt was leftas the prevailing sentiment in North Carolina. But a narrow minded policy would not help the cause in which such great confidence was expressed on November 7. Thepolitical astutenssssof which Mr. Burgess gavei evidence in the re cent campaign, is apparent- in his statement ,about- beer. Extreme action by by zealots of the victorious cause might produce a reversal of sentiment. The sensibleattitude as expressed by Mr, Burgess will strengthen the dry forces'.—Ex. Drys Warn Wets. ; Washington headquarters of the National Anti-Saloon League have issued the following warning to the repealists: “Legalized liquor is on taial. Thepeople will render their verdict after they see the difference between prohibition, and.;., Iegaljz^d,.. liquor sales.

It did not require any further in quiry or explanation as the writer knew that this shoe merchant had never been . charged with being guilty of advertising his goods as he might and should have done. The Town Topics man was also reminded that years ago a clothing merchant here was asked by one of his close friends why he did not advertise.more in the local news papers. His excuse was that it cost too much money. The friend then proceeded to ask a few ques tions. Don’t you know that, your old customers are gradually passing away and that unless you let the younger generations know that you are still in business that your trade will be'-lost?” The merchant refused to be con vinced, but in only a few years that some clothing man went into bankruptcy and is still out ot busi ness.

Thoroughbreds. significant fact wbetr he stated, , in his-talk here'at the' fersey Club banquet, that the farmers of this state needto become cow midded. He was talking about Jersey cows in particular, 'but he would not ex- Iude any thoroughbred that the farmer falls in love with In this assertion Mr. Morrison is standingon firmer ground than has been his wont in some of bis politi cal alignments. The cow is needed in this state,'and not the kind of cow that eats her head off, and eli minates the potential profit that would come to the farmer through her. better-blood sister that has proven her worth by accurate and pains takidg tests. Mr Morrison is not speaking in terms .of large, herds, bought and maintained by men of bis financial strength, but. of the one and two- cow farmer, who can afford to in vest several hundred dollar's in • a blooded cow, just as well as he. can afford to mortgage bis soul to buy an aiutomobile. The feed used in the upkeep of a scrub cow is just as that for anoth er that produces "three and four times the butcerfat. The difference in the initial cost is eaten up by the decreased production. That’s plain hoss sense. -Yet the scrubs pre dominate in North Carolina, and scrub bulls in-pastures all-all oyer the state promise a continuity of that condition, until the farmer turns his attention from cotton and tobacco and begins, as Mr. Morrison said, to farm with his head as well as with bis handss. Because intelligent-- agricultural leaders have been hammering hsrd along these lines in Iredell, this cotinty is less fortunate in this res pect .than many of her neighbors. Yet there is much to be done if this commendable objective is to be at tained.

Q How high is the^tallest man in the world? A. An awful lot higher than the lowest, rlSbould" bition Reform. This statement was .actually made in a convention of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association in Columbus in Columbus in 1912 : . . “We must create the appetite for Iiquorin the growing-boys. Men who drink will die, and if there is no new appetite created, our counters will be empty as well; as our coffers. The open fiejd for- the creation of sppetite is among young boys. Nickels expended in treats to boys noM will return in dollars to vour tills after the appetite has been formed ” For sheer concentrated brutality, this statement cannot be eclipsed in pagan or civilized literature. Is it possible that our citizens have forgotten the type of business that never obey any law on any 'statute book? In'the old days saloons re* fused to obey closing laws at night, Sundays, or other times. Liquor - sales to minors were common;^ oc currences. They refused to pay, in many instances, the license taxes and bootlegging- flourished, more bootleggers existing in America in in the pre-prohibition days than are to be found new. 1» Homes destroy ed, childhood blighted, woman hood defiled.

Here, again, a study of his* tory is illuminating A great and honorable American, Theodore' Roosevelt, when police commission er of New York, defied the liquor powers, which he described as. a terror to all .parties. “Almost every man laughed.” said Mr. Roosevelt, “at the idea of enforjng the Sun day excise law. The newspapers attacked us with a fury that be came venomous as week by it grew plainer winning . . . There was no form of slander, no species of mendacity, to which they did . not resort. For weeks they eagerly re peated the tale that we had failed in our efforts, attempting in every way to defeat the orderly opera tion of the law.”—Union Signal. North Carolina Paper.

The evidence showed that Ratledge tailed to stop when he hit the man, but drove by Liberty church and later drove to near Salisbury and then back to Mocksville. After hearing the evidence the jury released Benson and the two girls, but held Rat ledge under a $500 bond for the March terra of Davie cviminal court. Coroner Kennen had a busy boli day season.

CHAPTER III —5— -I think I’d like to go into New rork,” said Doris. She looked away from Mrs. Du Val as she spoke. Below her eyes was a Jojc vista of formal terraces, dropping one below another and ending in a square pool. They were sitting on a grassy floored room set against the house, and walled on one side by a rock garden, and on. the other by a lattice of climbing roses. Lunch was spread on a gaily tiled table. They were waiting for Oscar Dn Val to come from his studios and eat with them. Mrs. Du Val’s fingers were busy as usual with crocheting. She did not icok up, but Doris saw that she was frowning anxiously. “Rocky left orders that you are not to go into Yew York, you know.” This was rather surprising. Doris lifted Iwr pretty brows. “Why not?” "Ton know Rocky’s reasons better than I. Vou were with him, were you not. when lie spoke to me over the telephone? Vou perhaps heard him make me give him my promise.” “What harm would it do for me to go into Yew York?” “Oil. C’est Rocky,” sighed Mrs. Du Val. "Perhaps our boy is a little of the jealous, n'est-ce pas? What do you think? At the time he made me to promise I had the idea that you were a little—sliail we say a little too gay In your hahits? But since I know that this is not the case—I rather wonder at that boy Rocky.” “It’s certainly rath.er unusual.” "Von find it dull here;* Iittlu^DbrisV "Oh no. You’ve been so kind. I So wonderful, oniy—” Doris hesitated. "I hate to bother you about it, but I did want to go to Kew York." "Why do you want to go to New York?” ; Doris could think of no convincing ■ answer. “I’d like to do some shop ping,” site said haltingly. Then she flushed with embarrassment. She had no money. With what could she shop? "What is it you 'need?” said Mrs. Du Val kindly. Doris tried hard to think. “Oh some thread. Some red thread to mend a rip in my red dress, and some darning cotton." "But I can let you have those things. Doris. You know yon have only to ask.” Doris felt ashamed and desperate. It was impossible for her to go to Kew York without money. To suppose she were not Mrs. Rocky Du Val seemed now simply morbid imagining. If she weren't then where was the real Mrs. Rocky Du Val? She would have tamed up long ago, surely. She sat biting her lip and looking at Mrs. Du Val who kept busily on with her cro cheting. After a moment the French woman’s rich voice begin to flow like an or- EjW; pulling out stops of joy and gloom, ecstasy and despair. “ I know ow is it when you are young, Doris, ou want change.

Always I must be here. We will leave Imme diately after lunch and return for din ner. Will that, do you think, give us enough time?” Doris did not know. It did riot seem to her that it would give any time at all, since it took two hours to get into New York, and two more to return. It was after twelve now. If they left at one they would get to New York at three. They would have to leave at five to be back by seven. Two hours was something, of course. If she could find an excuse to go to Tange’s and see if she could Identify herself through the hat, and dresses and suit she had bought, it would be plenty of time. But could she break away from Mrs. Du Val and get to Tange’s? In a few minutes Oscar had joined them and they all sat down at the little table. Mrs. Du Val told her husband that she was taking Doris into New York that afternoon. He put down his spoon at once. He looked at his wife angrily. “Why?” “Ah well. We have many things to do.” “That is nonsense,” said Oscar. "What with all these motor accidents on the roads it isn’t safe for you to drive into New York. The last time you went when you went to get. Doris, God knows what I suffered I” He rose abruptly and sent the light chair be hind him flying into the rock garden. His wife rose. “See what you have done now!” she scolded. “Gome, sit down and finish your lunch. Of course we will go to New York.” She smiled into Doris’ agonizhd eyes. “It will be all right. He always acts so when I have to go to New York.” After lunch the big car came around in front of the door, and Oscar Du Val gloomily watched them drive away. From the important way that Mrs. Dn Val switched herself into the limou- Val-then what would she say to oiu UttIe French .woman? A sliver of ice seemed to go down her spine. But that was nonsense. Nevertheless she must find out-for certain. The problem , that confronted her was how to IeavC Mrs. Du Val for a few moments, she had an idea that the French woman meant to stick to her very persistently. “Where do you want to go first, Doris?” ‘I would like to go to a shop called Tange’s. I bought a dress there that has come out at one of the seams, and I want to show it to them.” This was pure inspiration. Mrs. Du VaI clucked sympathetically. “Such robbery, a dress in'"an expensive shop, like Tange’s coming out at the seams. Did it not fit you then? Oh my—yes. AVe must certainly speak to them. Did you bring the dress with you?” ' bfo—I didn’t think—” “Oh, dear, oh dear. We should have the dress. You remember perhaps the clerk'that waited on you. I will give her a talking to. But we must not ex cite you at such a time,” she said with an air of tenderness. AVhat mysterious ailment was she supposed to have? She saw genuine coricern in Mrs. Du Val’s small brown eyes. “I .feel very well,” she said “Shall we go first to the dentist?' “Suppose we stop, by Tange's and I just run in for a moment while you wait In the car. I’m sure when I tell them about the dress, they’ll agree to fix it, and tomorrow I can send it In to them.” “No, no,” said Sirs. Du Val, “we will go together. There is plenty of time.” Doris felt desperate. Panic was clutching her heart. She wanted more than anything.else to'prove that she was Mrs. Rocky Du Val. But she had to go In that store alone. She determined on new tactics. “I have a confession to' make,” she said. “I want you to trust me. You said a little while ago that you did. I have merely made-up this silly story of a dress torn at the seams, because I wish to run into Tange’s alone. I— I can’t tell you my business. But I s 2 § j f i But Instead She Slapped a Highly Manicured Hand Over HerSagging Lips. sine and settled her skirts over her round short legs, Doris knew that, the French woman was secretly pleased with the outing. Perhaps.married to a less exacting husband she would have loved gaiety and mixing with the world. Oscar Du Val kissed them both as solemnly as If he never expected to see them again. “I feel rather guilty,” said Doris.- “Nonsense. It does him good. Let me advise you, Doris, about your hus band. In big things, give In to him, yes.” “Yes?” repeated Doris somewhat doubtfully. She did not understand Mrs. Du Val’s meaning. “Yes,” said Mrs. Du Val firmly, “al ways give In to your husband In big things, in things that matter. Let him have his own way about his work. - He knows best about that. Lethlmhave his .way about his home, yes. But In the little things—ah, Doris, in the little things the woman must be the ruler.” Doris said thoughtfully, “Most peo ple seem to think you should do the other way arOund? Let him have his way about the things that do not mat ter, so you can influence him In the big things.” Mrs. Du Val’s bright face was over cast like the quick wrapping of the sun In a cloud. “I kriow. I know it Is the theory of the play ‘What Every Woman Knows,’ a theory that has done much harm, much harm, and made every empty-headed little woman think It Is she who Is the greater and the do-er If It happens her hrisband has done something good. Never let yourself fall into that error, Doris. I know many women like that. Remember, whatever Rocky becomes if will be be cause he himself had it in him to be come that thing.”Doris felt thrilled and happy. Sure ly this trip would set her doubts at rest She must be Mrs. Rocky Du Val. Who e lse could she be? As the liriionsine rolled, pompously over the white pavements, her heart was beating more quickly.' If she were to go to Tange’s and find out that, after all, she was not Mrs. Rocky Du promise you" I’ll only be gone a minuH or two.” Mrs. Du Val looked slightly ruffled. Her astonishment was slowly yielding to a faint amusement. “I know. It is some kind of a surprise.” Her small eyes wrinkled with fun at'the corners. “You want to get away for a moment and I am too much the bad Old mother-in-law to let you? Is that it?” “Oh no! Of course not You've been darling to me.” Mrs. Du Val patted her hand. “All right. You go. I wait outside in the car. But not over ten minutes, n’est-ce ,"No, no. Not over ten miriutes.” “And do not make up any more stories to tell me.. Next time I will be angry.” Doris was very excited a s, Louis slowed the car in front of the quiet front of Tange’s. She siid past the doorman' hastily, opening the heavy door herself. Before she could formulate any plan of action a. girl came from behind a closed door and came toward her. Then Doris saw that she wa3 rec ognized. The girl’s mouth opened, her brow? drew together In a horrified frown Sbe seemed to scream as if with ter ror. But instead she slapped a highly manicured hand over her sagging lips. “Miss—I mean Mrs.—Val—” Then she stopped, as if paralyzed. “You know me,” gasped Doris. , “Oh you poor kid;. Ohl I’ll help you. Get ln here. Come quick!” Doris’ amazement deepened. The girl had seized her by the arm and was dragging’ her across the room as she. spoke.“But listen—” protested Doris. “There’s no time.” “But why should I—” “For G—d’s. sake, dori’t be a fool. Someone’s coming!” In spite of hefself the girl’s terroi communicated itself to Doris. Tht girl was-so frightened that she heard nothing Doris said. Her own words came out In short breaths. “I’ll help yon. I'll hide. you. Get. in here” (TO BE CONTINUED.). IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAY CHOOL esson (By REV. p. B. FITZW ATER.

We are now entering upon a six months’ study of the gospel according to Matthew. In or.der that the lessons may be properly presented the teacher must master the book of Matthew as a whole, arid then present each lesson In its relation to the central purpose of the book. The central theme of 'Matthew is “Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham, the covenant King” (Matt. 1:1). I. The Birth of Jesus, the King (Matt. 1:18-25). 1. The Saviour was to be the seed of a woman (Gen. 3:15), the son of a virgin. This was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. The genealogy (Matt 1:1-17) shows his legal, right to the throne. Only a. descendant of David could be recognized. 2. The Saviour was to be divine (Isa. 9:6). He must be more than the son of David in order to be a Saviour. He must be both human and divine. Jesus was begotten by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, thus be coming Immanuel, which in its fullness means "God with us, God for us, and God in us.” II. The Childhood of Jesus, the King (Matt 2:1-23). 1. AVise. Men from the Fast seeking Israel’s King (vv. I, 2). Christ’s ad vent was heralded by a star which guided men of a foreign nation to seek and to worship him, even pouring out their gifts to him. These men were Persian or Arabian astrologers, stu dents of the stars. Their attention was attracted by the appearance of an unusual star. Through the Influ ence of the Jews who remained In Chaldea, qr the direct Influence of Daniel extending to this time, they had become acquainted with the hope of the Jews as to the Messiah. They may have known of Balaam’s prophecy. (Num. 24:17). 2. Herod seeking, to kin Jesus <w. 3-8, 16-18). The news brought by the AVise Men struck terror to Herod’s heart. He was not alone In this for aU Jerusaleiri was troubled with him. This news ought to have brought joy, but a glimpse at, the social customs In and about Jerusalem at that day enables us to understand why Herod and all Jerusalem were troubled. A Saviour who would save them from their sins was not wanted. Herod de manded of the priests and scribes In formation as to where Christ should be born. The fact that they were able to tell him quickly shows that they had a technical knowledge of the Scriptures, but not a heart for the Saviour set forth therein. This oc curred in Jerusalem, the city of the King, the place of all' places where he should have been welcome. It fre quently occurs that where the greatest privileges are, there the greatest In difference is shown to spiritual- mat ters. VVlien the AVlse Men returned to their country by another way, Herod slew all the male children two years and under In and around Bethlehem. 3. The King found by the Wise Men (vv. 9-12). Having obtained the desired infor mation these men started Immediately to find Jesus. As they left the city the star which guided them,In .the.east appeared again to direct them to the place where Christ was. When they found him they worshiped him. They did not see any miracles, only a babe ; yet they worshiped him . as king. Tllessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29). 4. The BGng protected (vv. 13-23). (a) I;!lght to Egypt (vv. 13-15). To escape Herod’s wicked aim, God direct ed Joseph to take Mary and the. child Jesus and flee to .Egypt- In obedience to the heavenly vision he went and re mained there until Herod’s death. (b) Return to' Nazareth (vv. 19-23). Dpon the death of Herod, the angel of the Lord directed Joseph to take Jesus'and his mother and return to the land of Israel. Though Herod was dead it was not proper for him to re turn to Judeai By divine direction he turned aside into parts of Galilee and dwelt at Nazareth. v Nazareth has held a fair renown through the centuries only because It wris the spot where Jesus grew In wis dom and stature, and In favor with God and man. T h e B ib le This book, contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salva tion, the doom of sinners and the hap piness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its .precepts are binding, its his tories are - true and its decisions are Immutable. ■ • • H e lp in g a n d H e a lin g Now-a-days, our Saviour uses his followers here to do the work of help ing and healing that He used to do Himself,-.when here on earth. Fifty Famous Frontiersmen By ELMO SCOTT WATSON Father of the Old Chisholm: Trail 11 'HE Old Chisholm TraUl AVhat a A wealth of romance is contained In those four words I What pictures they bring up of an era In American history that Is gone forever—the pictures of thousands upon thousands of long-horn cattle, driven north from the wide plains of. the Lone Star state to the roaring cow towns of Kansas by as bold, as reckless, as brave a crew of daredevils as the world has ever known, the. old-time cowboys. The scene of many a story in our “Wild West”, magazines is laid on or near the Old Chisholm TraiL "Cow boy singers” on the radio keep its fame alive. But who was the man who gave It his name? Jesae Chisholm was the man. In his veins flowed the blood of red men and white. He was born in the old Cherokee Indian country In East Ten nessee In 1778. His father, Ignatius Chisholm, the son of John D. Chisholm, the last hereditary chief of the Cher- okees, was of Scotch descent. Some time after 1850 Jesse Chisholm established a trading post not far from where the old California TraU crossed the South Canadian river In the pres ent state of Oklahoma. Later on he had another trading post at Council Grove on the North Canadian, a few miles west of the present Oklahoma City. By this time he had deserted his own people entirely arid was an adopt ed member of the AVIchita trlbe with whom he went north into Kansas at the outbreak of the CIvU war. For more than six years the AVIchitas camped at the-mouth of the Little Ar kansas where the city which bears their name is now located. There they were visited by James R. Mead, a trader, who In the spring of 1865, was Invited by Chisholm to join him in a trading expedition to the valley of the AVashita In the vicinity of Fort "Cobb and the former Wichita agency. Mead accepted the Invitation. So they loaded their wagons and drove to the crossing of the North Canadian where a short side-trip to Chisholm’s trading post at Council Grove was made. Later Chisholm made other trips over this route from AVichita, Kan., to the valley of the AVashita and to Chisholm’s TraiL It became famous as the Old Chisholm Trail and it gave to Jesse Chisholm lorig after his death a renown which he little suspected was to -be bis while he was- stiU living. . v . * -- . - \ A Hero of Fact and Fiction THE Battle of Momnouth was over and Sir Henry CUnton’s British army had retreated toward Sandy Hook and crossed over to Staten island. Hanging on tbelr flanks were several detachments of Gen. Daniel Morgan’s famous American riflemen. On the New Jersey shore, among the horses and wagons y«jf to be ferried over, stood a phaeton—perhaps General Clinton’s own, thought the buckskin- clad rlfleriian, scouting toward them. He noticed, too, that the phaeton was guarded by two sentinels, but the next moment he was dashing forward Shouting for them to “surrender or die.” One of them fled immediately, but the rifleman disarmed the other and ordered him to hitch two of the best horses to the phaeton, immediate ly. As the frightened Briton did this, the ! other sentinel came running around the wagons only to receive a bullet from the long rifle of the buck skin bravo. The sharp crack of the rifle attract ed the attention of British artillery men. across the channel, who Immedi ately opened fire. But the Morgan rifleman rode, safely away In his cap tured phaeton with his prisoner beside him and. another. daredevil escapade had been added to the career of David Ellerson. ElIerson was a Scotchman, born on the high seas while his family were emigrating to VirginiA He won dis tinction as. a sharpshooter and Indian fighter in Lord Dunmore’s war in 1774, and a year later he marched away to Boston as a member of one of those rifle companies who bore the legend, “Liberty 'o r Death!” emblazoned across the breasts of their buckskin shirts. He became one of the picked men who made up Morgan's rifle corps, and as the boon companion of Timothy Murphy, he became an alniort leg endary figure In the annals of border warfare with the. Indians and Tories on the New York frontier. AVith the redoubtable Tlm he ,strides across many'a page In Robert AV. Chambers’ historical romances—a hero of fiction as weU as of fact. EUerson had many a hairbreadth es cape from death, none perhaps closer than that day In 1779 when he was a member of the scouting party led by Capt. Thomas Boyd near Genesee dur ing ,General Sullivan's expedition against the Iroquois. Their rash young captain led his men into a nest of Iridians and Tories. “Pull foot, Davy I” -shouted Tlm Murphy as. the rifles of the enemy began to blaze around them and “puU foot” they did to such good purpose ,that they barely escaped the terrible fate which befeU Boyd at the torture stake of the Sen ecas.

GREAT NEED SEEN - IN THE TRAINING OF CHILD TASTE There seems to be no unity of thought or action on what is suitable for the children to see and hear. Qne group advocates reducing lit erature' and ' the stage to a~statua where It is safe for the children, an other is all for giving the children uatrammeled freedom to see and read what they like. In one case the world would have to be adjusted to the moron, in the other, the undeveloped mind is forced beyond its capabilities. ’ That there might be a middle way seems to have been forgotten. The level of moron intelligence is seldom over twelve years, and the prospect of making the artistic world safe for them is appalling to the average adult Soirie educators are aware of the dangers of a too strong emotional diet for the young. Some, here and there, have studied the situation and instituted children’s days at movie houses and theaters. Nearly every library has a children’s department book stores grade their children’s books according to age. But In' spite of alTthe effort which has been made, the children still flock to sophisticated, plays and pic tures, still read the frank, often broad book or paper of the moment until the chief cry of the reformer is “AVe must censor!’’ . Much of what Is written and pro duced is no doubt unnecessary and undesirable, but censoring merely drives it underground and "Increases ■ Its danger. If we'-allow oUr children unlimited license we spoil the children, if we attempt to suit all books and drama to their capacities we ruin art. AVhat we need far more is to pay attention to the children’s develop ment, to keep track of what they are seeing and hearing, and to start early to train their taste.—Brooks Peters Church, In Indianapolis -News. ? 8 ri(\A \\\A V \\\A A V \\V \V \V \\\\\\\V ?

News Review of Current Events tie World Over Weir’s Conflict With National Labor Board—Johnson Plans Realignment of Code Authorities—Insull’s Son and Others Indicted in Indiana. By EDW ARD W. PIC K A R D w fr nAT action, It any, the NBA and the national labor board would t.-ike in the case of the Weirton Steel company was unrevealed by the au thorities. E. T. YVelr, chairman of the board of the company, main tained that he was loyal to the Presi dent's recovery pro gram but Insisted that the labor board had no right to coerce or abrogate the election L a j of employees’ repre- L flllll sentatives that was held" at the Weirton E. T. Welr plant. The success- iui r.-muiUates were hand-picked, and si» were those who were defeated, all lieing "company . men.” Members of t J;t* workers’ upion, the Amalgamated Aisiioialion of Iron, Steel and Tin Wndcers, did not appear on the bal lots. Union representatives charged Llirit workers were threatened with Ujss of their jobs if they didn’t vote, and said many of the men deliber ately spoiled their ballots. There were ugly threats that if the government did not act the workers would begin to “take things apart” "He are putting our faith in Presi dent Hoosevelt and the NRA,” said oue of the union leaders. “They’ve promised to see this case through. ,Well, if they don’t then we’ll be forced to take things into our own l>;j»ds. Because we’re going to win this light." Tliiinias E!. Millsop, assistant to !'resident Williams, said the only way tlie government would be allowed to enter the matter was on the strength of a court order. "\\'e are for the NttA,” he said, “but there are some parts of the re covery law which frankly we do not r.;e. It’s no secret that Weirton Steel is opposed to a closed shop, which is what the labor provisions of the act ii:i‘;in. Xor is It any secret that we do r.nt intend to recognize the Amalga- i:..: ted.” He still Insisted that the "company millin’’ was not a company union at nil hut an association of employees' r. ;iresentatives chosen by free and ujurammeled ballot by. the workers. On. Hugh S. Johnson, NRA admin istrator, refused to comment on pub lished reports that President William Green of the American Federation of I.nbor will demand a clear cut state ment from the recovery administra tion and. the national labor board out lawing company financed unions. Oreen said, that on September 20 he had filed many affidavits with the recovery authorities charging that corporations In every section of tbe country were violating the NRA labor provision by company union activi ties. He charged no action had been taken against these corporations, , /r^KKERAL JOHNSON has mapped ^ out a new alignment of code au thorities In order to provide more effective representation of consum ers’ interests. His plan is to place on every code authority one NRA rep resentative selected by tbe adminis trator. This representative will be assisted by two "advisors,” one drawn from the ranks of labor, and nominat ed by the labor advisory board of XRA, and the other to be nominated by the consumers advisory board. . An important part of Johnson’s an nouncement was that he proposes to give the NRA representatives on each code authority a veto power over any of the actions the authority may e.jct to take. In other words,'In the "self gov ernment” of each’industry, which the general has often discussed as his aim, a code authority may decide to take some step with respect to prices, or production, or wages. If it suits the NRA representative, It will be put Into effect ; otherwise be can veto the action. The administrator also announced the appointment of Leon Henderson of the Russell Sage foundation. New York, and S. J. Schlink, a director of the'Consumers* Resfear'cb- bureau; as special assistants In the consumers division of the NRA. He empha sized that Mrs. Mary Rumsey, society woman who heads the consumers ad visory board, would retain her pres ent post ONE of the encouraging signs of the times Is the decision of the Van Swearingen railroads to purchase $25,- 000,000 worth of rolling stock, this be- ing the biggest t der for equipmerit authorized In many years. TI(,e .pur chases will be"flBSifceil'Jt>iy the PWA. The railroads will buy the equipment with the proceeds of 4 per cent fifteen- year equipment trust certificates sold to the . government In this way the government will obtain security for its loan without receiving as col lateral bonds or other evidences of mortgaged indebtedness. By contrast, Uie RFC demands bonds as security where possible. The. roads are the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Nickle Plate and the Brie. , Y -BARLY reports of Secretary Roper 1 of the Commerce department and Sepretitrv Wallace of agriculture were of a nature to cheer up President Roosevelt and all the supporters of his policies. Mr, Roper submitted facts and figures showing that con siderable progress toward business re covery had been made in the United States as a result of decisive action by the government, and that there were definite signs of a business re vival throughout the world. He also reported that, In line with the admin istration’s economy program, he had brought about drastic reorganization in his department and had cut ex penditures 2S.8 per cent compared with those of the previous year. j Secretary Wallace reported the 1933 farm income at $6,100,000,000, against .$5,143,000,000 last year; exclusive of $300,000,000 in crop reduction benefits to be paid by the government before the end of the year. ! vV Samuel insull, Jr. GItAND jury investigation of the affairs of the Northern Indiana PublicService company resulted in-the returning of indictments at Crown Point, Ind1 against Samuel Insull, Jr., and other officials of the company, includ ing Morse Dell Plain, its president. It Is charged that the com pany’s treasury was looted for the benefit of Insull holding com panies. The report of the grand jury in cluded. these accusa tions : That a bookkeeping error of $10,000,000 was purposely made to deceive the Indiana public service commission and justify high rates for service. That huge expense accounts for cer tain officials, covering trips to Cali fornia and Atlantic City and the send ing of vast quantities of flowers to hotels, were an unjustified charge against Northern Indiana Public Service. That properties, in many instances worthless, and without exception worth far less than the value charged, were transferred to the treasury of Northern Indiana through a system of inter locking directorates. This was done, the report declared, to “milk Northern Indiana- Public Service of surplus earnings.” That the funds and assets of the operating company are still being "constantly depleted by the domina tion of Midland Utilities and other parent organizations of the Insull group.” The Investigation was given its'start when Howard W. Duncan, former as sistant treasurer of Northern Indiana, confessed he had embezzled $132,000 ot the company’s money and lost It on the race horses, ' Duncan pleaded guilty to the theft of $1,500. He of fered to tell the inside story of the Insull. high finance and' was allowed to do so. The investigators then fol lowed out the lines he laid down for them to follow.. TUK government of Greece notified Samuel Insull that he would have to leave that country when his resi dence permit expired on December 31, but when the American fugitive plead ed illness he was granted an extension of the permit to January 31. Insull has no consular status as an American citizen, his passport having been re voked. Where he can go with safety is a puzzle, for the United States has extradition treaties with all countries bordering on Greece and presumably he would be nabbed In* any of them. The. government .In Washington has instituted proceedings to: collect-‘from Insull, his wife and his son $221,000 in income taxes. WHEN President Roosevelt’s pet project Jn the Tennessee valley is far enough advanced to manufacture electric power it is going to produce a lot of it, and consumers will be need ed. So, to create - a market for this energy the President has ‘set up a million dollar mortgage loan corpora tion, using public works funds, and di rected it to finance electric appliance purchases -In the Tennessee'.!region. Cheap credit will be extended to all home owners and residents within the Tennessee Valley Authority area for this purpose. Manufacturers of elecfrical house hold goods are enthusiastic over the prospect of having the government fur nish funds with which their products can be bought, Stephen T. Early, sec retary to the President said In an official explanation of the order. TIBET’S supreme religious and civil ruler, the" dalal ” lama;’ 'died' In Lhasa, and a Bengal correspondent says It is reported he was poisoned. This powerful priest was regarded by Buddhist Asia as the reincarnation of a long dead Buddha and was wor shiped as a deity. .In his sixty years he bad many adventures. When the British opened up Tibet in 1904 he fled to Mongolia, Five ychi's later, he returned to Lhasa but was qulckl# driven out by the Chinese and took refuge In India. In 1912 the Tibetans ousted the Chinese and established their Independence and the dalai lama went back and resumed his place ar ruler of the country. W HEN the day for war, debt pay ments to the United States came around the expected happened. France, Poland, Belgium, Hungary and Estonia made no payments whatever. • Finland, as It did last June, paid in full—$229,- 623. Token payments were' made by five nations as follows: Great Britain, $7,500,000 of $117,- 670,765; Italy, $1,000,000 to $2,133,906; Czechoslovakia, $150,000 of $1,632,813; Lithuania, $10,000 of $105,474, and Latvia, $8,500 of $180,706. So in all, Uncle Sam received $8,898,- 123, or approximately one-seventeenth of the $152,952,637 due that day from eleven European nations. There is now $301,778,747 overdue on the $11,000,- 000,000 funded debts. ONE foreign nation has undertaken to bring suit against a state of the Union before the Supreme Court of the United States—the. first instance of the kind in history. The principal ity of Monaco seeks, through ifs Amer ican attorneys, permission to sue the state of Mississippi for payment of principal and interest on $100,000 worth of bonds defaulted In 1841. It wias explained by tbe Monagesque con sulate in New York that Monaco is em powered as a sovereign state to sue one of the United States, a privilege not accorded to individuals, and that the bonds were given the principality by three descendants of original inves tors, who had finally been convinced that, so far as private holders were concerned, the delta state was going to continue too proud to pay. Ale ja n d ro le r r o u s is pre mier of Spain again, having suc ceeded Diego Martinez Barrios, who was made vice president of the new cabinet and minister of war. Lerroux said he was "pleased” with the minis-, try he had got together and that its formation of members of the left the right and the center parties was com patible with the complexion of the new parliament, which is dominated by con servatives. APPOINTMENT of Hiroshi Saito as the new Japanese ambassador to the United States was confirmed by the cabinet in Tokyo. The foreign office there cabled instructions for him to proceed at once to Washington from The Hague, where he has been serving as minister to the Netherlands. PEACE, for the time being, has coma to the Gran Chaco, for Paraguay • ' and Bolivia agreed to a truce and their warfare in the jungle region was * stopped. This was arranged by the League of Nations commission with . j- the backing of the delegates to the J- Pan-American conference In Monte-, video.

Now Tom announces that he .is a primary candi-. date for congressman from the Fifth' district because he thinks the Demo cratic party Is weak In debating abil ity. He says he .will “help the Presl- ; dent to obtain .legislation that will take the control of the money supply V out of the hands of those who pro duce panics every ten or twelve years." Mr. Hefiln is concededly an able de bater, but he may find the lower house less patient with his lengthy speeches concerning himself and his persecu tion complex than was the senate. V TWO of America’s most popular and ; widely read novelists died on th« same day in New York. Louis Joseph Vance, author of many tales of mys tery, was found dead in a blazing arm chair In his: apartment, : the Are having apparently been set by a dropped ciga rette. Robert W. Chambers, writer of best sellers for nearly forty years and noted especially for his novels of American history, passed away after an operation for an intestinal dlsor.der from which he had suffered for several months. CHARGESjagainst William G. Donne, Illinois manager of the Home Own ers’ Loan corporation, resulted, in the iicceptanee of his resignation by the corporation board, after he had been heard In Washington^ Various accusa tions of fraud, and favoritism were made against Donne, who was backed by the tllinols Democratic organization. It was predicted his removal would have- a serious political flare- back In the" state. pOLONEL AND MRS.

Bell Syndicate.—WNU S«rv1*« National Topics Interpreted by William Bmckart Washington.—The Roosevelt admin istration suddenly has taken on re newed Interest In de- S eek T ra d e velopment of bases n xi * for trade between Outlets the ODited states and other nations and thus, for the first time, it seems, to appear that a very definite trend has been set up to take care of our surplus farm crops and our' surplus manufactured products. How far it will extend Is 'a question that none can answer at this time, but the situation and the circumstance certainly constitute a factor that should be examined in a larger sense than piece-meal discus sion because of the far-reaching effect that conceivably will flow from the course upon which the government seems to be traveling. International trade has been a sub ject about which too many high-sound ing phrases have been grouped. Indi viduals in the interior, for example, were too prone to pass it by as having no effect on them, whatever their call ing in life may have been. Such is distinctly not the case. It has a di rect bearing on the success of a farm er as it has a direct effect on the suc cess of a manufacturer. In each in stance, the benefits or the damages flow on through the various lines of comiaeree and Industry and into the lives of all. TSiat Is why, in my opin ion, the trend that now appears to be developing is a matter of concern to the humblest laborer and of great con sequence to the agricultural areas of our country. In a speech Jat the recent Pan-Ameri can conference at Montevideo, Cordell Hull, secretary of state, observed that “International trade Is hopelessly dogged with prohibitions, embargoes, quotas and other arbitrary restric tions.” Thereupon, he proposed con certed action to do away with those barriers to trade among nations. Secretary Hull offered several prop ositions to the statesmen assembled at Montevideo and initiated numerous discussions privately along the lines of elimination of trade barriers. But the secretary talked about "multilat eral treaties,” agreements between many, nations, and appears to be car rying on that policy. Here In Wash ington, however, we are repeatedly told that multilateral treaties are im possible ,of consummation. President jthlnks:ith^: there ..are few •t’SjfL. - iv -l. * ,JiIWOCfW]. .w y*v -. Iv y i '^oisiBilftiei'% .that direction;' and he W talking about treaties, between pairs of countries. ■ 'Por .example, a commer cial agreement between the United States .and England, or ,France, , or the Argentine, or some, other nation with which the ’United States engages In heavy International - trade.; It Is yet too early to tell which way we are headed. Likewise, none can forecast whether the bilateral agree ments or the multilateral pacts will, work to our best advantage. Nothing can be more certain, however, than that there will be It lot of discussion in congress as It gets under way, and I. believe it Is equally certain that there will be a lot of debate, by mem bers of the house and senate who will be wholly uninformed as to the mean ing of their words. * * • But let us examine the two types of treaties. The multilateral agree- / ment obviously con- : T w o T ype a templates conces- o f T retO ies 810,18 on the Part of , every nation that be comes a 'signatory to it, but In reach ing that accord the nations figure out what they can gain before they give up anything. Such a treaty runs smack into the long-time policy of the United Statea ' Our nation has always attempted-- toprotect its? wage r eamers, Its agriculture and Its other indus tries against the products of other countries where wages are low, where the standard of living is far below that upon which we insist So multilateral treaties are regarded by one school of thought in this cotintry as a challenge to our national life. The bilateral treaty contemplates an arrangement whereby, If the theory is carried to an extreme, each of the two countries paired In the agreement, will seek to balance the trade In com modities. For instancy if the: United States and Poland were to agree on cotain trade concessions and sign a treaty, purchases by Poland from the United States would be unrestricted so Jong as the American government al lowed all of the Polish products to' come into this country on an unre stricted basis. That is the theory. In practice, I am told it will not work out that way. To use Poland as an example again: it seems, to be more than likely that Poland might say to the United States, "we- -will.-allow only, so^mueh of the American purchases here.” If that at titude were assumed by Poland and the United States were to agree, our exports to Poland- would have to be reduced. Normally, we ship to Poland, almost five times as much as we buy from Poland. v The effect is obvious. It would ,mean strangulation of trade -between nations. - On the other band,.there Is that bal anced trade idea OnzwhIiCb some au thorities rely to force open doors that are now partially dosed. If -Poland could be persuaded te buy more from the United States than has been the case, of course, the result wii h rantageous to our side 1,1 “eatour side.* « ♦ tari^rate^hold^uTsome forei^ B o rre d b y * T a r iff lateral treaties, » nations given me^wuTeut down^1*' of those rates, whlle the , treaties may also strike the are more naturally Aipected moval of other obstruction^™ t eral treaties conceivably caa h» ried so far that the United states S be trading only with those commf willing to sign such agreement”*?! 5 5 , “ “• The natural assumption to be JraWn from the various aspects of the J! trend, it seems to me, is that an7 tempt is being made to get awav C ' the high tariff policy which has b»! an issue between the Democratic m Republican political parties so man, years. My own conviction is that it cannot be accomplished; that «rl{ conditions are such as to make it In- possible for the United States to let down any barriers now stoppin; ths potential flood of foreign product! and that adoption of such a course eliminate some of our own institution! and make further inroads into whatu left of agriculture. If one is willing to concede that our nation, or the majority of its people; favor . the protection policy, thea I gather that the job to which most at tention ought to be paid is that of Jmt ing markets in this country for foreign products that do not compete, or dg not seriously damage our own econom ic structure. If attention is given to that end, economists who are not po- litically minded tell me that outlet) will be opened abroad for American- made goods. We will have our coffee, our rubber, our bananas, our cork, and a score of other things, and we will pay for them. So it is with some oth er peoples. They will hare our cotton, our tobacco, our canned fruit, and so on, and they are willing to paj for them. It surely is made to appear, therefore, that the government is not attempting to increase trade in one way that it could be done, namely, help the foreigners increase their mar kets here for the things we do not pig gies insist there will be a parallel growth In our exports.• * * Thero has been considerable adtersa comment aroused In Washington to th» action of the admin- C e n tra K ze d istration in organfc ing what it calls I M o rm a tia n „nat[onaI eicccti(, council.” The President, In announcing forma tion of the council, explained Out there were so many governmental agencies of nationwide scope that It seemed advisable to formulate a pro gram by which Individuals everywhere 'co’nld 'go to a single center In their county and obtain information.

By ELMO SCOTT WATSON X A December day in 1814 a Brit ish army, sent in a fleet of ships to capture New Orleans, made a sur prise landing below that city, there by accomplishing what the com mander of the American forces de fending the city had. been working day and night to prevent. When the news of this disaster to his plans was brought to him, he exclaimed to his staff officers: "I will smash them, so help me God!” Then. followed his brilliant night attack of December 23 which held the invaders in check eren though it aid not "smash them." That hannv result was destined to take place' two weeks later-oa January S, ,ISySrJjfoeat tljis, emphatic nihtary leader won one of the mtet astounding Tlctones in all history, a victory which paved the TW to the IVliite House for him and put on the caleminr of the American people a red letter day j ca,ls for remembering the name of Andrew Jackson.

Learning of -the opportunities there were -for a young attorney beyond'the mountains “he turned toward Tennessee with; the; comfortable assur ance of the post of attorney general ,anfl goodly fees. . . . He early joined up with the Blount faction In politics, associated with gentlemen who acquired lands far ' and near,, revealed a hair-trigger sense of honor which resulted in an appalling number of challenges and duels, and gathered to himself the good things of the region In the form of-political offices and military lead ership. had. a period in both the house and senate of the United States. He became a major general in the state militia. Without undue struggle or hardship he acquired both place and power.” Thus one reviewer of SIarquis .Tames’ biography. If Jackson had aristocratic leanings In his youth, they became all the more apparent In his manhood. Within a few years after he had come' to- Tennessee he was a wealthy man with even greater riches In sight At one time or another he owned outright or In partnership more than 100,000 acres of land. At different times he owned a distillery, a tavern and licensed ordi nary, a boat yard, a race course, a large trading establishment with three stores:In Tennessee and agents in New Orleans and Philadelphia and he was a stockholder in the Nashville bank, the first in Tennessee. He lived In V fine) house on a model planta tion called Hunter’s Hill and that, as well as his later homes, the two “Hermitages” were rqry much a "gentleman’s country seat” But Jack son was not as good a business man as he was a fine gentleman. All of his enterprises except the race track and the bank lost money. Soon he became so Involved in debt that he had to, sell Hunter’s Hill to pay out and he ipoved into a blockhouse which became the first “Hermitage.” Then it was discovered that he had sold set tlers a large tract of land to which be did not possess a clear title, and that threatened to take the last dollar he owned. A crafty lawyer told him how he could find a legal loophole through which he could evade .responsibility. Jackson’s reply was typical of the man. He declared that he would protect the settlers’ titles if it made him a pauper. Fortunatelyfor him he was able to protect them without impoverishing himself. It was such traits of character as these which helped make him a “border captain." Whatever faults he may have had, there was never any question of his personal Integrity. Particularly was this true of him as a judge during his early career:in Tennessee. Of this James writes: “His record is clean. Barring a little finesse In In dian matters, which was customary, no hint of irregularity renders the dim beginnings of his^ career of a color with those of a few of our other western lmmoi tals. On the bench Jackson was rectitude embodied. His law library was pre sentable and his acqtiaintanCe'With it-ample for the time and place. No written decision by him is known, that practice being inaugurated by Jackson’s successor, John Overton. . But tradi tion preserves-the essence of his frequent charge to Juries. ‘Do what is RIGHT between these par ties. That Is what the law always MEANS.’” Just as he was a leader In civil life, so he be came an outstanding military leader, conscious of the fact that, “the leader must sacrifice him self for his people.” So when the War of 1812. broke tfift there was’every good reason : why An drew Jackson should have remained at the Hermitage, enjoying the honors that already had come to hilm and the companionship of his ,RACHEL JACKSON * A miniatugre ' on. ,ivory which Jackson wore abdut ,Iiisn fo^- thirty yeari. Painted by Anna C. Peale in Washington, December, ISIS. beloved .fRachel. Certainly he had paid a high price for the tight to enjoy the latter, risking his life time after time in challenges to duels and in duels themselves to shield her good name from slanderous whispers. Even though. :he had been elected major-gen eral of the Tennessee militia ten years before there, was no .compelling reason for him to leave Rachel and march away to the wars. But he' in stantly offered to President Madison a militia division of' 2;500 trained men and promised to make a successful invasion of Canada within 90 days. But his'offer was disregarded and had it not been for Governor Blount of Tennessee, who signed'his commission as major-general of Unlt- ed ,States volunteers he might not have got Into the war at ail: Through the machination of Gen. James Wilk inson, a scoundrel In high places if there ever was one, all .of Jackson’s efforts to serve his country were about to come to naught when the news came of ,the Creek uprising and the massacre at Fort lilims In Alabama. So Jack son starterd on the campaign which was'to bring him his first military glory. But early In that campaign difficulties arose. Before he could win a decisive victory over the Creeks, the term of enlistment of the majority of the volunteers un der his command expired and the men prepared to go home without waiting for the arrival of reinforcements to take their places! Then “Governor Blount threw up the sponge, ; advising the evacuation of Fort Strother and a retreat to Tennessee. It was a literal summons to Join the dismal file of funking military chieftains whose crowded march into the limbo had dis tinguished our management of the war. One ill-calculated step and Andrew Jackson should bear company with the dim shapes of Hull, Dear born, Hampton, Izard, Chandler, Winder—the list could be lengthened.” So Jackson wrote a letter to Blount: “Arouse from yr. Ieathargyr-Aespise fawning smiles or snarling frowns-^-wlth energy exercise yr. func tions—the campaign must ■ rapidly progress oe I • . . yr. country ruined. Call out the full quota i —execute the orders, of the Secy, of War, arrest the.officer who omits his duty,. . . and let popu larity perish for the moment. Save Mobile—save the. Territory—save'1 yr, frontier from, becoming drenched in blood. . . . What retrograde under these circumstances? I will perish first” That was In December, 1813. A year later, faced with a similar situation of impending dis aster (although redcoats, not redskins were the enemy this time) Jackson was duplicating his “I will perish first,” with the statement “I will smash them, so help me God!” Smash the Creeks he did at Tohopeka or the Great Horsehoe Bend and Jackson’s return to Tennessee was a tri umphal progress. A year later he also smashed the British and “to a country that had almost completely lost faith In'itself, to a country that had almost learned to cringe, this news came like a reprieve to a man upon the gallows. It was literally crazed with joy, and In Its delirium It flung the name of Andrew Jackson against the stars." Later to a suggestion that he might become a candidate for President -he replied, “Do you think I am such a d—d fool?No, sir; I know what I am fit for.' I can command a body of men In a rough way, but I am not fit to be EreS- Vdent”” Thirteen years later American democ racy thought differently. So it sent this borde* captain to the White House. © by W estern New spaper Union.

The party, he said, will “pre sent to the people a leadership and a program that will offer them re lief from the present deplorable and intolerable conditions.

Nearlv all young people look for ward to the time when they will be married and have a pleasant home and family. This is right, and such families would be more often found if people knew the effect of their actions upon their unborn ebildrer. Life comes from germ cells. Thej are stored in the body at birth and are protected by the same fat-like coating that covers the brain cells. If these sells which are to Iorm the future child are fed by pure blood, and bur lives are clean and honest, our children may be better and brighter than we are, but many doctors believe if these cells are fed with blood that is filled with alco holic, syphilitic or other poisons, these cells may produce a child that is deformed,-deaf and dumb, blind or inclined to crime and disease. The-effect of these, poisons is as Sreat upon the cells of the father as upon the cells of the mother be fore the life of the child begins This does not mean that the child of drinking parents can not be as good ahd bright as other children, but it does mean that when the cells from which the child is form ed are injured by alcohol, the child is, more apt to have the weakness of the family, such as tuberculosis, drunkenness or insanity.

And it’s simplicity it self. They owe it all to canned pine apple. At least, that’s what one gathers from the girls who make up the eye attraction of the musical comedy, “Take a Chance.” As the show began its long road tour with the attendant wrinkle making worries of rushing from theater to train and sketchy rest In sleeping cars, these girls developed a “beauty diet” to maintain the radi ant vitality of health which the foot lights demand. And topping the list of “beauty aids” Is Hawaii’s golden pineapple! "We went Into a huddle with a dietician,” Shirley Manson—the little blue-eyed one, third from the left in the front row—explained. “And this expert said inadequate diets deny many women the vitality they mnst have to be really beautiful. She said that radiant health is the foundation of real beauty and daily eating of two slices of canned pineapple or a cup of the crushed or tidbits as a source of those Vitamin things—A, B and O—and five essential minerals will help. Wasn't it a break that she recom mended something we all like?” And so the tired business man from Maine to California will get his beau ty glorified as, ever—even if it is all done with the aid of canned pineapple. EAT HEARTILY BUT WISELY, IS DIET ADVICE OF MAX BAER Heavyweight Contender Finds Canned Pineapple Aid in Keeping Fit. Max Baer, conqueror of Max Sclimel- Iing and challenger of Primo Camera, does not ,intend to let himself become an easy mark for the giant Italian. He Is taking regular exercise, getting plenty of sleep and watching his diet. “Primo thinks I’ll play around in the movies until I get too soft for him,” says the Livermore Larruper. How ever, he let it be known this week that he does not Intend to be caught nap ping. “Diet is unquestionably the most, im portant consideration I have in the matter of keeping fit,” said Max. The brawny Baer who has recently won new acclaim as a screen actor and radio performer, is a heavy but care ful eater. “Some of my advisers have attempt ed to persuade me to eat much less than I do,” he said, “but I know how much food I need to keep on my toes physically and prefer to control the quality rather than the quantity. Of course, a less active person must be careful not to overeat. “I eat lots of meat, vegetables and Mas Baer green salads, but watch my desserts carefully. I favor either custards or fruit for dessert, particularly^canned pineapple, which combines many diet essentials. I guess I have pineapple almost daily, either as a salad or des sert. These scientific fellows have started recommending this fruit strong ly only recently, but it’s been a favor ite in training camps for many years.” LET US SEND YOU THE RECORD DURING 1934. ONLY $1.00.

Some of the leading wets are say ing that while the 21st amendment must be forced to prevent the im portation of liquor from States where the sale is prohibited, that in turn the States engaged in authorized commerce in liquor should have protection from the bootleggers and bootleg product that may be expected to abound where legal, sale is denied. Speci fically Mr. Jouett Shouse has made that suggestion and he is afraid, or pretends to be, that North Caro lina bootleggers mav export oar blockade product into Virginia to compete with the legalized product of that commonwealth. Wouldn’t say that it is impossible since the high price of the legalized stuff, or the desire for adventure, is likely to bring the contraband goods into competition with th non con traband. But we av e been hear Ing that all bootleggers ond all other evil doers of the first magnitude would disappear on the repeal of amendment 18. Of course the an Swer of Shouse and his kind to that will be that it is the dry States that produce the bootlegger. If it can be estaolisbed to the satisfaction of the courts that no liquor- is made and sold illegally in States where the traffic is authorized the oppor tuuity will be presented for elimi nating the ‘leggers where they are centralized—in the dry States. But everybody familiar with the liquor traffic knows that bootleggers a bound where the traffic is legalized as well as where it is prohibited.. There will be fewer ..ip, . the . traffic area'hSt'-1h?1EtfiS; days^oF opeff''^ loous the illegal traffic went oh to some extent, especially for the^pur-. pose of dodging the tax on the business.—Statesville Daily. We Don’t Need Them. In Davidson county, the past week before the Lexington recorder two men who were convicted of violating the prohibition laws were banished irom the county. It is only a short distance to Forsyth. Davie and Rowan and they can just move over and continue their business This way of banishing an undesirable from one county to take up his residence in another doesn’t seem to be just exactly the right course to pursue. It keeps criminals moving from one county to another, one state to another and a couuty generally gets about the same number in exchange as she had got rid of.—Ex Drys To Continue Fight Plans for a state-wide rally of United Dry FPrces in Greensboro, on January 16, to weld a pernia nent prohibition organization and wage a law enforcement and tem perance campaign were made at Raleigh. ; Cale K.

Occasionally a victim of an acci dent caused by the recklessness of careless drivers becomes angered. What does he do? He rushes to a newspaper office and demands that aneditorial.be written.' He wants the public to know about the out rageous treatment he has received. Thousand of editorials have been written, and daily the news columns of newspapers chronicle the ac counts of automobile accidents, but to what good? Fcr years the News and- Obser ver has tried tp keep the 'facts'of an appalling condition before its readers. Even in Raleigh, the automobile drivers are reckless in turning corners, in speeding across street intersections, and the life ot no person is sale upon its streets, No longer is it considered news to chroncicie the death, and injuries resulting from these accidents. It is only from a sense of public duty that the News and Observer prints the ghastly facts of automobile ac cidents upon its front pages day after day and year after year. The average reader turns to the next column unless perchance he notes from the heading that an ac quaintance has been killed. Then he may read the account, but with out further reaction than that "it is too bad!” But when, an auto mobile accident happens in. which a loved one Is killed, the same in different reader will rush to the newspaper office with the demand that it do something about it. For years it has been trying tp c’o something about it, but- conditions get worse instead of better. ' It-Ss not because the News ai d Observer desires to-wash.its hands of the blbod daily split upon the highways of North Carolina that it has: preserved In keeping the ghastly facts before the people of 1 this state. It is because its editors year’s imprisonment. The gitl was in the Oxford Orphan asylum and it was in evidence that her guar dian bad paid her but $15. The remainder of the orphan’s pittance he converted to.;his own use, as the jury believed. Barnes "broke down and wept in .the court room when the jury returned a verdict of guil tv,” the report Whena hitherto respected citizen—and it is assum ed that Barnes was that—is con v rrted into a felon with a prison sentence to undergo, it is a sad spectacle, one that may move to teais. It’s an. easy guess that Barnes was moved to tears because of his own plighs rather than the p'ight of the unfortunate orphan he had robbed. He had robbed the or phan with whose affairs he had been entrusted In cold Wood. Her condition had not appealed to his feelings when he was taking and using her small funds as his own He probably would not have wept if.the law hadn’t caught him, It was-his disgrace and the punish ment that worked on his feelings. But the Barnes tears will bring him sympathy—sympathy that he does not deserve. Or at least that is the usual custom. The court was no doubt importuned to be l ght on him.

It seems that our town and coun ty officers paid but little attention to the Governorwhen he instructed them to arrest all persons driving motor cars after Dec 31st, with 1933 license plates So far as we could learn, not an arrest was made in Davie for violating this law Many cars were on our streets the firs' of last week bearing the old license plates.

The Tragedy In Wilkes. The most recent tragedy in Wilkes, which was at first believed to be one of . the most atrocious murders in the history of the county, evidently was not a murder at all. It is ap parent now that pretty Leota Chil dress, who was found dead in the home of her foster parents on Sat urday after Christmi s, was not tie victim of robbers, but was the vic tim of her own disordered mind, made eo by brooding over disap pointment in a love affair. The suspicion of. the public was first aroused by the note the young woman left. It seemed impossible that a young girl, beset by robbers who had given her only a few minutes to live, could have written in such detail as this poor girl wrote, describing her .plight, telling of her dream, giving a word for her lover, and leaving^, instructions about her buria l.I t j s impossible to believe thsii; >;th,fbur men waiting to kill her In less than'20 minutes, any girl would write, -I want to be happy” and ”1 guess my dream has come true." It wasnotthe act of a normal girl, either, to give up her life, as this girl wrote she was determined to do, before she would give up $500 of her foster father’s money. In fact, all the circumstances surrounding this tragedy, the, unloaded gun at her feet, and the'fact that nothing was missing from the home, leave no room for doubt that the girl took her own life.—Winston Journal.

She had slashed her wrists with a butcher knife. She lost much blood before being dis covered. A physician and a nurse were hurriedly summoned, and she was carried to the home of Mr. Stonestreet It no complications sets in it is thought she will recover.

N. c. the OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY /Al! pictures from Fay's “The Two Frank- j, \ fathers of American Democracy,” courtesy Uttlef Brown and Company.) ♦t- — ----------------------------;--------♦1 By ELMO SCOTT WATSON ■ j-Lgj*HEN political orators have occa- - I Q I f f sion to speak of “the great B lrjlp 1 / Democratic principles,” they in- variably mention the names of Kg® W \ Thomas Jefferson and Andrew ftfL* ’ I Jackson as though they were 'B' J the first exponents of those y principles. But now a scholarly historian, whose opinions, based upon patient and diligent study, certainly should lie more acceptable than the windy, vote-catching platitudes of a campaign orator, tells us that the true “Fathers of American Democracy” were two men named F ranklin-B enjam in Franklin, whose memory we honor on January 17, his birthday, and Benjamin Franklin Bache, his grandson. This historian is Bernard Fay, a Frenchman who divides Iiis time between France and America, and his thesis is uttered in the book “The Two Frantlins: Fathers of American Democracy," published recently by Little, Brown and Com pany. So much has been written about Benjamin Franklin (including Mr. Fay’s previous book, “Benjamin Franklin: The Apostle of Modern Times,” which has been pronounced “incompar ably the best biography of Franklin yet pub lished”) that there seems to be little left to add to the record of his life and services to the American nation. But very little has .ever been taid about his grandson, or the historical impor tance of Benjamin Franklin Bache. Students of the history of American journal ism have known him as the founder of the Phil adelphia General Advertiser, which later became tlie Aurora, In which, while attempting to break the power of the Federalist party he attacked the symbol of Federalist faith, President George Washington, even going to the lengths of declar ing that “If ever a nation was debauched by a man, the American nation has been by Washing ton.” He attacked John Adams, and his attacks on the second President of the United States led directly to the passage of the Alien and Sedi- tioa laws, under which statutes Bache was ar rested for libel but was not prosecuted. But Bache was more than a “scurrilous young jour nalist who japped at the Father of His Country.” Fay presents him as the man who carried on the “fathering” of Democratic principles in this country after that other “father,” Franklin, was dead and of bringing about a “second American Revolution,” one of which most Americans are unaware. In the preface to his book,.Fay says: “A revolution is a change of mindi -.tfhere have been few more radical changes of mind than the one which took place in America between 1790 and 1S00. But when historians describe the down- fall of the Federalists and the victory of the new Democratic-Republican iparty during these years they always speak in terms of Jefferson and Hamilton. They do not exhibit a change of mind. They merely stage a picturesque fight between two very" great men, and two very attractive men. ‘ As I see the matter, while Hamilton opposed this change and Jefferson made use of it, It was other men who effected this change of mind. I propose to deal mostly with these other men, and, above all, with one of them who strikes me as the most outspoken, the most reckless, the most generous, and the most neglected. His name was Bache.” Benny Bache, as Fay likes to call him, was torn on August 12, 1769, the son of Sarah Franklin and Richard Bache, a Philadelphia merchant, described as “simple-minded man, friendly and jovial, with nothing of a great ffian about hinj.” So if Benny Bache had any elements of greatness in him, he didn’t get it from his father. He got it from his mother, who passed on to him some of the greatness of her father. The boy soon became a favorite of his grand father’s, so when Franklin went to Paris in 1776 to negotiate an alliance with France for the re bellious colonies he took his seven-year-old grand son along with him. There the boy soon became too French," so his grandfather, resolved to oake him "a Presbyterian as well as a Republican,1’ •sent him to Geneva for his education. jsnklin had another grandson In Paris with 'ffl^iremPle f ranklin, the illegitimate son of his " illegitimate son, William Franklin, of if Temple FrankUn was an aloof, frigid sort 50 tar aS real affection for his grand- ataer was concerned.

I '' “ A PEEP INTO THE ANTI-FEDERAL CLUB" "A Peep Into the Anti-Federal Club” was a cartoon printed in New York in August, 1793. It shows a meeting of the Democratic Society of Philadelphia and represents what the' 'Federalists thought of their opponents. The president of the society, Dr, Rittenhouse, a famous astronomer. Is looking^ through a telescope at the poster, on the left, which shows the principles of the Demo cratic society. Near by him is the devil. Next to them is an enthusiastic Jacobin, Dr. Hutchinson, an old friend of Franklin and a fervid Republican. He is recognizable by his big belly* On a plat form is Mr. Swanwick, the wealthy Irishman who was subsidizing the Democratic party. The man reading a paper on his left is likely Alexander J. Dallas, secretary of Governor Mifflinp who was a leading spirit of the party. A Frenchman and a negro can also be recognized in the cartoon, Uie original of which is owned by the New York Historical Society and has never before been reproduced. Washington. John Adams denounced him in con- founded and occupied by the government In the meantime Benny had married Ulss Margaret Markoe and soon there was a family for him to support. Bache decided to publish a newspaper with a bookshop on the side. The Federalists already had their organ, Fenno’s Gazette of the Onited States.' He approached Robert -Morris on the subject of patronage for his proposed newspaper but Morris tried to dissuade him. Next he con sulted Thomas Jefferson, who 'seemed friendly enough, but soon afterwards aided Philip Fren- eau found the National Gazette as the organ of the Republican elements. Undiscouraged, Bache went ahead and In the fall of 1790 established the General Advertiser, dedicated to Truth, Decency anti.Utility, It had several competitors, most of which were exceed ingly dull but prosperous. Bache wasn’t much of a writer but he was a good newspaper man In the sense that he got most of the news such as there was and printed it. - But great events were on the way. Hamilton gress as a traitor who had sold himself to France. Although Franklin’s prestige in Europe was undiminished, his fellow-countrymen had be gun to suspect him. Finally in 1785 came “per mission” from congress for him to return home —this permission in reality being a recall, since Thomas Jefferson was sent as ambassador to ■ France to replace him. So Benjamin Franklin and Benny Bache came back to their native land, Franklin to go to the Constitutional convention, there to labor mightily as a conciliator among the warring elements who were trying to write a charter,of govern ment for the new nation, and Benny to enter the University of Pennsylvania. When Washing ton was elected President, Franklin “went back to his library. Nothing was left to him but his library. AU his other kingdoms, the salons of France and those of England, where he had throned.it as a prophet; the far-off chancelleries of Europe, where he had reigned as master; the American assemblies, where he had laid down the law; and the associations and the lodges and the federations and the conventions, where .his proposals had carried the crowd—all this was ended. He would never-see them again. Others - reigned in his stead.” , - So the. career of one of the really great men of the earth ended in anti-climax. But he was still the teacher and comrade and. inspiration of the grandson whom he had desired to make his masterpiece. He set up a type foundry and a . printing house for Benny, although the former had to be given up later. But in the latter the two collaborated in the publication of-,children’s books. They also printed Latin and Greek books, but found no sale for. them. Then on April 17, 1790, Franklin died! Toward the last he had taken Benny’s hands in his and “spent'long hours in happy dreaming.” Franklin was given a fine funeral, the finest ever held in Philadelphia. Both Europe and America-mourned his passing. “Everybody wept as the occasion required. Only Benny wept as one weeps when life does not seem worth living any longer. . . . He had lost his grandfather and his youth. He had lost a great deal. Per haps he had lost everything. Nothing remained to him but to serve his country.” ' There was soon need for his beginning to do that. Already there was dissatisfaction with the way the Federalists were running the country, but the opposition to them was still unorganized. The Republican, later the Democratic party, had not yet been organized. The capital of the coun try was moved from New York to Philadelphia, which was soon 'boiling with politics, as a later capital, Washington, did from the day it was Lfc ----- "*■ 'S**„ U /ju U - ■■ -«>«—»/« - ~ r~-'v ** ^ J :*a */■-> -f~ —e- -j j f ■ *-<■ ^„ •—s* »<1 " 7 4 A I*./-'-. — /A . ■®' -V t _ ^ —4 w/* "*-• - A /^ *—*■> * *•' ' i H*/** U.

To pass away ^ d u I I hours while sitting in the gallery he made Sketches such a. these. T h. sketch of his grandfather, Benjamin Franklin, may be rec- ognized at the bottom of the page. and Jefferson, though feUow-members of Wash ington’s cabinet; were at opposite poles as to theo; ries of government. The feud between them’ In-Jc creased. Under, various'pseudonyms they attacked* each other . in Fenno’s .Gazette" of the United States and in Freneaii’s National Gazette. And Bache added fuel to the rapidly-growing discontent with the Federalist regime and the rule of George Washington, the Virginia aristo crat. Then the storm-of the French Revolution broke and Republican enthusiasm was rampant In America. Citizen Genet came to America and Bache. became his friend and the Advertiser his mouthpiece. Genet failed in his effort to override “Old Washington” by appealing directly to the people and Bache shared in that failure. But he lost little power In the years that fol lowed when Americans were split into two fac tions—English sympathizers and French sympa thizers. When John-Jay went to England and negoti ated his “infamous treaty,” Bache scored a tre mendous newspaper scoop. While Washington was trying to keep the provisions of that treaty dark, Bache obtained a copy of it and gave it widespread publicity. There was tremendous ex citement all over the country. But despite the shrill cries of Bache and the Republicans that the Federalists had sold their country to Eng land, the treaty was ratified. Then the French Directory, with its bluster and its corruption, played squarely Into the hands of the Federalists, who almost succeeded in embroiling America in a war with France. ’ Bache’s resistance had a great deal to do with averting that. During this period of violent political conflict he became one of the most pow erful men in the country and one of the most bitterly hated. Even the mob, once Republican and Jacobine, turned against him. He was in constant danger of bodily violence. But through it all he persisted in fighting for what he thought wer^ the principles of true democracy, the prin ciples which be had learned from the lips of his grandfather. During this period also he had re- christened his newspaper the'Aurora and on the front page of it he placed “fairly and squarely in the middle, the fine sign of a rising sun.” When John Adams -succeeded Washington as President, at first Bache praised him—In a left- handed way, to be sure, by contrasting him witli Washington. But the editor of the Aurora was •soon at outs with the^new -President and his Federalist ways. So he carried on his war of vituperation against Adams as he had againct Washington. But the yellow fever which swept Philadelphia- every summer at last did what none of his enemies had ever been able to do—. It silenced Benny Bache. On September 5, 1798, he caught the yellow fever. For five days he dragged himself down to his office .to get out the Aurora. On September 10 he printed his last issue and in that he called John Adalms a liar. He fought the Federalists to the last, for he died at midnight. As for Bache’s place in American history, Fay states it in these words in the epilogue of his book: “It was Benny Bache who led this Second Revolution," that broke Federalism and the Eng lish alliance. He had not thejgenlus of Jefferson, or that of; Washington, or that of his grand father: But, like them, he loved his country, and to him, as to them, life was really worth living only when he could stir the people, when he could merge himself into the warm mass of m an k in d , into.their passions, into their desires. More than those other men, he suffered; for a short suffering with defeat is harder than a long- suffering that finally blooms into the joy of su<> cess. Benny Bache had died—and died too soon.*' ©.by W estern Newspaper Union. Tew CLOCKWORK Briggs, the owner of the new store, asked his manager how.trade had been progressing during his absence.

Mj Imir became thin and dry and fell out In handfuls, and the dandruff scaled off and could be seeD on my clothing.1T had lost all hope of eTer being healed. A friend told me about Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment and I sent for a free sample. The first applica tion stopped the itching so I bought more, and I used only one cake ot Cuticura Soap with two boxes of Cutfcura Ointment and I was healed." (Signed) Mra M. L.

She groped. The hard cylinder of a broom handle was beside her. and this other shapeless thing was probably a vacuum cleaner. Could it he that she was dreaming? The fantasy of a girl coming toward her, almost calling her by name. “Miss, I mean Mrs.—Yal-” she surely had said »Vai”—then the crazy push into the closet: it was very like a dream. Or possibly the salesgirl was mad. Or was Doris mad? She rememhered that insane people sometimes thought every one in the world was crazy. She felt the blackness of the closet around her throbbing, throbbing. Why was she shut away in a closet, a “poor child” hidden from some unknown peril? Instead of leaving, her fright was increasing. As always in her mo ments of depression the vision of the man in the cab came to torment her. Now his face floated before her, very real, very menacing. Her imagina-' titrn, unbidden, brought out a dozen suggestions: supposing he were out there? supposing he wanted to kid nap her? supposing he were- a crim inal, and she was his helpless tool—a criminal herself? Her hand tightly clutching the broom handle, her reason telling her that this was ail nonsense, she still felt wave after wave of terror plunge over her like great billows knocking her common sense over, choking down her efforts to be calm and rational. Ilie salesgirl had recognized her, had called her VaL Outside Mrs. Du VaI was waiting for her in the car. Every thing was all right. IVhat was she scared about? Everything was not all right What was the meaning of the salesgirl’s ter ror? And why was she in this closet? Doris called herself a fool. Fate had taken her kindly into a safe haven where she could rest and be well treated until her memory re turned. But she had not been satis fied. She had wanted to return to this ularming life she had once led. Why hadn't she been content with Mrs. Du Iul in the country? She tried to think back to the impulse that had I her to this place where girls wked at her with stricken pitying uyes and pushed her into dark closets, Jie felt that If she ever got hack to the country, she would never make huy effort to leave again. • , After what seemed a very long time she turned the handle of the door and e ed 0IJh The small reception room J emPty.

Did Rocky know of her danger whatever It was, and had he left these strange injunctions about her for her own safety? Her mind went over and over the incident. “Miss,” the girl had started to say, as if she had known Doris best for a long time as Miss Somebody. Then she had remembered, corrected herself and said Mrs.—Mrs. what? Oh it must have been Du Val, but in the excitement of the moment it had been said so quickly that Doris could not be quite as sure as she would have liked. She was pale and exhausted from the fright. Mrs. Du Val was quick to notice this. “Doris, the trip into town is a mis take. You could not stand the dentist, could you, today?” Doris looked at her thankfully. “Whatever happens Fll always love you and be grateful to you,” she said. “Such thoughts!” “I mean it. You have been wonder ful to me.” “ ‘Whatever happens,’ she says! Yqu must not worry so. You are going to be all right.” Doris looked anxiously at Mrs. Du Val. What did she mean by that? She spoke as if she knew of the strange thing that was hanging over her. Surely she could not have known that a salesgirl would push her into a closef-and call-her a poor child. Doris’ head was buzzing. If she could only talk to someone about all this. She found herself falling back on her old hope: tomorrow she would re member. She had had a shock today —that ought to bring memory back. Oscar met them in front of the house as on the night of Doris' arrival. He was delighted at their return.' His first words were: “I have good news for you. Tonight there will be a sta dium broadcast It is very good. Do you like Sb listen to Beethoven, Doris?” ■ Doris said she did. Mrs. Du Val looked pleased. Doris felt unreasonably happy. Here she was secure and loved. The salesgirl had called her by name, so she conld be sure she was all right. It must be that Rocky’s coolness sprung from something she had done In her past to alienate his love. But she would win it back. In the future she would be a model wife. These feelings were still In the as cendant when she unsuspectingly sat down in front of the radio after din ner. ALs Oscar Du Val turned the dial to find the concert there was a pre liminary buzzing. A man’s voice spoke with startling distinctness. It boomed its message through the room—a fright ening monologue that set Doris’ arms clenching the sides of her chair: “Diane Merrell, the girl wanted for murder In Morristown. New Jersey—” Doris was staring into space with wide glassy eyes. —“was reported seen in Detroit, Mich., at four-thirty this afternoon. The police are—” Mrs. 5 Du Val gave a low ' scream. Oscar switched the radio off. Doris had fallen back in her chair in a half daze. Wave after wave <?f black emo tion was pulling- her downward. The radio voice had spoken from her past and dragged her back to the no man’s land’of threatening circles, and menac ing purple rings. Mrs. Du' Val’s fat little arms were around her, trying to embrace her. “At such a time you should not be listening to murders!” She fell forward in her chair in a dead faint.*»»•*** Doris came slowly back to her senses. She opened her eyes: the white canopy met her gaze. She was in bed then, but' what was this fright ening trouble clutching her? Sbe turned her head. Mrs. Du Val was sitting at the bedside leaning over with anxious eyes. Behind her the soft rays from a pink lamp fell on Rocky’s picture, sent out gleams from the silver frame. Doris felt better. The bad dream was gone. She was back with K.ocky. Rocky’s mother was patting her head. She managed a smile. “Now, now you are going to be all right,” whispered Mrs. Du Val sooth- ingly. Then Doris remembered. She had been sitting at the radio. Something bad been said, something horrible. “What—what was it they were saying over the radio?” ' “Now, now go to sleep, my Doris. It is all right.”' Doris sat up and looked at Mrs, Du VaI a little wildly. “But you’ve got to tell mg. It’s very important.” “Now, now Doris. .Remember. At such a time you must not be thinking of murders!”Murders! Doris fell back against the -linen covered pillows. Murders! What had she to do with murders? She knew that her past had yawned for one ter rible second while the radio announce ment was being made. And now her mind had turned away from It again. She was thinking that the reason she had forgotten her past was be cause it was too agonizing for her mind to dwell on. Her loss of memory was a veil which nature In her great kindness had dropped across her life. Behind that curtain lay something dreadful which she could feel, even If she could not remember it Now that she had.had that one backward glimpse she felt that she-could never-be happy again. . -“Tell me,” she said, “what murder was it that was being talked about?” “ Mercy, mercy. And how should I know that? You must stop thinking of such things, Doris. It is bad for the baby, you know.” .Mrs. Du Val-was blushing furiously. “There now, Doris. You must forgive me. I have not been very delicate, have I? But I was so worried, to day has been too much for you. Now, now we won’t mention. It again. know that young girls - are senSKvw about such subjects.” Suddenly the meaning of the often repeated phrase, “at such a time,” was clear; she looked with startled eyes at Mrs. Du Val. Of course. She might have known that was it All those little worries about her exercise, het diet, taking care of herself, all those sly little looks : she was suppoied to be an expectant mother! And of course she was not going to be a mother. Of that she was certain. Now the meaning of Rocky’s words unrav eled : “No need to worry about Doris.” Did Rocky, too, think she was going to have a'ehild? She opened her mouth. “Fm not—” but the French woman’s littie ringed hand was already over, her lips. “You must not say another word. You are too excited.” Doris’ eyes, big and full of anxiety, looked at Mrs. Du VaL What was the use of trying to tell anything {bow? She would only be thought over wrought. Sooner or later she must straighten this thing out Tonight there were other things she wanted to find out. “But about this murder—” “No, no. No msre talk.” In silence Doris allowed Mrs. Du Vai to tuck the covers about her chin. She was thankful when the light was turned out, and she was left alone. She tried to think why it was that she had never before thought of this explanation of Mrs. Du Val’s solici tude. But how could she have sup posed such a thing about herself? Now she sat up in bed clutching at throbbing temples. If this were so, then she was not Rocky’s wife. Rocky’s wife was some other forlorn waif. In her frenzy she pictured this other woman as a sort of Biltmore ghost walking, walking through the big lobby looking for a Mrs-DuVal that never came. Theshapus and shadows in the room were assum ing grotesque outlines, pointing accus ing fingers. “You are not Mrs. Rock well Du Val. You are not Rocky’s wife at all. You belong to the man in the cab.” She tossed all night, not quite know ing whether she slept or dreamed wak ing nightmares. At dawn she rose with a painfully contracted heart and knelt down before the picture of Rocky. In his pictured eyes she tried to read the truth about her relationship to him. He had grown so familiar to her that she could not believe that she had never seen the real man. Even though her mind conjured up no recol lection of him that went beyond that silver frame, she still knew that image so well that she believed him to be her husband. » "You must be. You must be,” she whispered. “Fate could not be so cruel as to give you to me only In make-believe.” The breeze coming In from the open window was sharp.. She sneezed,: and shivered. In the" long mirror she caught a-glimpse of her slim figure in its thin lacy nightgown.. Her eyes were bright, her cheeks flaming unnatural ly. She took hold of the corner of her dressing table to steady herself. “I must have a little fever,” she muttered. She crawled back under the covers and fell asleep. She awoke to find Mrs. Du Val standing beside her bed. Mrs. Du Val looked anxious, and she knew she had something wrong with her. Her head felt hot and unnatural. “It is nothing,"” said Mrs. Du Val cheerfully, “you have a little touch of grippe. You must stay in bed. You will be all right.” For the next few days Doris lacked the energy to bring up the subject ot her supposedly approaching mother hood. Mrs. Du Val, like many fussy and worrying women, was at her best when there was actual illness to com bat. She was a miracle now of opti mism, as she. nursed Doris. Doris lay for hours listlessly watch ing the shadow of the leaves make changing patterns in the sunshine that came In through the long windows. Her hands lay clasped In front of her. Once she took a daisy from the bunch of flowers that had been put near her bed, and pulling the leaves went through the familiar ritual of, “he loves me, he loves me not.” The mes sage of the'flower was, “he loves me not” She did not like it. Superstl- ttously she felt that it proved that Rocky was not her husband. “I suppose' I really am slightly crazy,1’ she told herself despondently. She fingered the ring which curled aronnd her finger with tender reassur ance. She had never taken it off since the day in the Biltmore. Now it sud denly occurred to her to look at the inscription inside again. She slipped it off.“H. L. V.-to D. M. May 19th. 1932. D. M. That was Doris—? She did not yet know what her, maiden name had been. And H. L ., V. was—now panic overwhelmed her, Rocky’s in itials were R. D. V. She was not mar ried to Rocky. Shemustbem arried to the man In the cab. She tried to be rational. There must be some way that H. L. V. conld be Rocky’s initials. Sometimes people’s Initials were quite different from what you thought they would be, people who went by nicknames. Her brain whirled. She felt determined to prove to her self that she whs married' to Rocky. H. L. y.—R. D. V. There seemed no escape from those awful initials. Why hadn’t she thought of this be fore? She had often gone to sleep with her fingers on the small circle, thinking of it always as Rocky's pres ent to her. She had remembered that there was a .V and-had taken .it for granted that they were Rocky’s '.in itials. Now she accused herself guilt ily. She had wanted to think herself married to Rocky.

They should rather be viewed as the formal entrance of the Messiah, the king upon his mission. In the baptism we have the act of dedication of himself to his work which made full a righteousness, and in the temptation we have a record of his first official conflict with the devil whose works he came to destroy. I. The Baptism of Jesus, the King (3:13-17). 1. His coming to John (v. 13). While the forerunner was discharging his office, the king emerged from his seclusion at Nazareth and demanded baptism at JohnfS hands. 2. John’s hesitancy (v. 14). The incongruity' of this demand with the purpose of baptism brought from John a protest, but upon Jesus’ satisfactory explanation John baptized him. 8. The significance of his baptism (v. 15). Iiis significance is found In harmony with tbe central purpose of his coming into the world, which was to secure for his people salvation through death and resurrection. This act was the official entrance upon his work. It was an act of consecration on his part to the work of saving his people through sacrifice. Christ was baptized not because he hqd sinned, but because he took the place of sin ners to be a substitute for them. 4. Approval from the opened heavens (vv. 16, 17). Immediately fol lowing his consecration to .his work the heavens were opened and the Spirit came.and abode upon him, fol lowed by words of approval from the Father.' II. The Temptation of Jesus, the King (4:1-11). - . This., temptation was, the opening battle of the dreadful conflict between Christ and Satan. In this struggle note: 1. The combatants (v. I). a. Jesus Christ—He went immedi ately from the place of anointing and heavenly recognition as the Son of God, to meet the arch enemy of the race. b. The devil—The one with whom Christ struggled here was a real, per sonal being, filled with cunning and malice, and possessing great power. 2. The battleground (v. I). It was the wilderness of Judea. The first man was tempted in a garden with the most pleasant surroundings, and failed. The last man was tempted in a bare wilderness, and gloriously triumphed. 3. The method of attack (w. 3-9). Since, as the Redeemer, Christ sus tains to mankind a three-fold relation ship—Son of man. Son of God, and Messiah—each relationship was made a ground of attack. ' a .. As the Son of Man (w. 3, 4).— The appeal was made to tbe instinct of hunger. Having been forty days and nights without food as a normal man, Jesus had a craving appetite. While' the appetite was not sinful, to have satisfied it In a wrong way would have been sin. b. As the Son of God (vv. 5-7).—It. was to test whether this personality which-had taken upon itself humanity, was divine. The devil quoted from a messianic Psalm to induce Jesus to presume upon God’s care. God" really does care for his own, but to neglect common precaution; to do "the uncalled for thing just to put God’s promise to a test, is to sin and to faiL .' c. As the Messiah (w. 8, 9).— Christ’s mission as the Messiah was to recover this world from the deviL The devil offered to surrender to him on the simple condition that Jesus bow to the devil, thus obviating the neces sity of the cross with its shame and suffering. 4. The defense (w. 4, 7, 10). The instrument of defense was the word of God. Christ met the enemy each time and repulsed him with “It is written.” Bach time he quoted from Deuteronomy, the book which higher critics would discredit. 5. The issue (v. 11). The enemy was completely routed. The strong man was bound, making the spoiling of his house possible. Pearl of Price Happiness is that- pearl of price which all adventure for, though few find it. " It is not gold or-silver that the earthlings of this world seek after, but some satisfying good which they think, is there treasured up.: Making a Friend Force is of no use to make or pre serve a friend, who is an animal never caught except by kindness and pleas ure. - Oblige with all your soul that friend who has made you a present of his own.—Socratea Fifty Famous Frontiersmen By ELMO SGOTT WATSON “Fitz of the Broken Hand” HISTORY has given to Gen. John 0. Fremont the title of' “The Path finder” and made him famous. But it is strangely silent about the man who once “found the path” for Fremont and who probably knew more obscure corners of the Great West than any other man of his time, not even ex cepting such worthies as Kit Carson, Jedediah Smith and Jim Brldger. Thomas Fitzpatrick was his name, and he was a young Irishman who came to this country about 1816 and joined the famous Ashley fur trading expedition into the IJpper Missouri country in" 1823. The next year be accompanied Jedediah Smith on the exploring expedition which discovered the'' South .Pass-through the Rockies, that portal through which a flood of emigration to Oregon and California was to pour within the next two dec ades. One of the organizers of the Rocky Mountain Fur company, he soon be came “chief of the mountain men" and was a leader in the dramatic struggle, between rival British and American companies for supremacy in the fur trade. After five years Fitzpatrick’s company sold out to John Jacob Astor, for he saw the inevitable decline of that Industry. But his next occupation added to his reputation, for In 1841 he led the first emigrant wagon train to Oregon; In 1843 he guided Fremont on his second expedition to CkilIfornia and back; In, 1845 he guided Kearney's dragoons on their expedition to South Pass, Fort Laramie and Bent’s Fort, and in the same year he went with Lieutenant Al bert on his southwestern survey. The next year be was again Kearney’s guide, this time on the famous march -of the dragoons t<J Santa Fe. After the war with Mexico was over, Fitzpatrick was made agent for the Indians of the Upper Platte and the Ar kansas. As a trapper and a trader he had been one of the most skillful In dian fighters on the plains, but be cause of that fact “Broken Hand,” as the Indians called him, had the re spect of every redskin In the region. So be made a record as an Indian agent and exercised a control over' the red men which has never been equaled, except possibly by that other Irishman of an earlier day, Sir Wil liam Johnson, the one white man the Indians of the East ever trusted. , -Fitzpatrick’s crowning achievement was the great Indian council of 1851 at Fort Laramie at which 10,000 In dians of all tribes; forgot for a moment their - ancient ."enmities to smoke -the pipe together" because “Broken Hand” told them to. He.died In 1854, a white- haired and broken man at the age of fifty-five. Ifhe had livedafewyears longer there might have been fewer shameful pages In our Indian history. * • * Big Bat and Lattle Bat IN THE post cemetery at Fort Rob inson, Neb., among the long rows of little headstones, all of which look' exactly alike, is one that bears this inscription: “Baptisto Gamier, Em ployee Q. M. D.” And this marks the end of the trail for a really great frontiersman—a simple slab of granite which records ,the fact that here lies burled an “employee of the quarter master's department*? and doesn’t even •spell his name correctly! For Baptiste (not Baptiste) Gamier^, was the “Little Bat” of Sioux Indian war days, a scout for our hard-riding, hard-fighting troopers in the seventies, eighties and nineties, a guide for many a party of big game hunters and an in terpreter In many an Important council -•-certainly a man who deserved a bet ter memorial than this. Officers of the old army will tell you that there were two “Bats,”—“Big Bat” and “Little Bat”—both of them good men and true. “Big Bat” was Baptiste’ PourIer1 scout for General Crook during the campaign of 1876 and hero, of a daring escapade at the Battle of Slim Buttes. • “Little Bat” -was the son of a French father and a Sioux Indian mother and he grew up "among his mother’s people near old Fort Lar amie. Valuable as were his services to. the whites as a scout during the Sioux war of 1876-77, they were' even more valuable as interpreter when Red Cloud’s Ogalalas were finally penned up on a reservation and started on “the white man’s road” during the eighties. When the Ghost Dance excitement started among the SiOux in 1890, If “Little Bat’s” advice, that the Indians be left alone until they had "danced themselves out” had been followed; It might have averted some of the trag edies which followed. ' One of these tragedies was the Bat tle Of Wounded Kiiee and there ‘Tittle Bat” had one of his narrowest es capes. Acting a3 interpreter he walked among thp lodges of Big Foot’s, camp, unarmed, to impress the Indians of his conviction that they were in no. dan ger. Then the firing started. In the storm of bullets his Clothing was pierced several times, but by some mir acle he. escaped death: : Bight years latmr a murderer’s bul let accomplished what those fired in battle could not do. For ‘Tittle .Bat” was shot down in Crawford, Neb.,- by a barkeeper-whom be had regarded as his friend and who was never pun ished for the cold-blooded1 murder of a man noted for his peaceable- dispo sition, as well as for his stark courage - in time of danger. & 1933* W estern Newspaper Union. No Need for Parents to Respond to Whys ?

Silver Remonetized by Order of the President—Recovery Program Developments—Haey Long’s Income Tax Under Investigation. By EDW ARD W . P IC K A R D Pittman OILVER has come back. By execu- kJ tire order of President Booseyelt It is remonetized In the United States and will be coined on a large scale. F o rm ally ratifying the London confer ence agreement and exercising the powers given bira by tbe In- mi|,H flation amendment to W f j the farm adjustment act* the President di rected all the federal mints to accept for coinage all silver mined hereafter in the Doited States or Its possessions, up to 24,000,000 ounces a year, at a price of 64% cents an ounce. This is to be in force for four years. The government split the present- legal price of $1.29 an ounce for sil ver In half In reaching a purchase figure which is 19 cents an ounce over the present open market. "This proclamation,” the President wrote, “in accordance with the act of congress, opens our mints to the coinage of standard silver dollars J from silver hereafter produced In the United States, or its possessions, sub ject to the depositors of sucb silver surrendering to the government one- half of it as seigniorage and to cover all usual charges and expenses. The dollar coined from half of sneh newly mined silver will be returned to the depositor. The half surrendered to the government will be retained by the treasury.” Mr. Jtoosevelt, Ib ratifying the agreement, pointed out that sucb ac tion already has been taken by the government o f. India and that other nations concerned were ready also, to act. Host jubilant of all public men over the President’s action was Sena tor Key Pittman of Nevada, who, as a delegate to the London conference, took a leading • part in drawing- up the silver agreement He foresees greatly increased export business as a result of the move because the buy ing power of the silver-using coun tries of the Far East, especially China and India, is lifted by about 50 per cent Senator Pittman said the effect of the new order would be to take Into the treasury about 24,000,090 ounces of sliver, to coin one-balf of it and deliver it to the owner or depositor Ot tbe silver. The other SO per cent will be retained as bullion In the treasury, it is his expectation that the new order of the White House will give great enconragement to the silver mining regions of the West BOTH the federal Surplus’ Relief corporation and the agricultural adjustment administration have been purchasing commodities for the relief of the idle, and thereby ecorioniy and efficiency have suffered. Such pur chasing operations have now, been con solidated in the Surplus Relief corpora* tlon. The administration also was com-' pleting plans for utilizing the Surplus Relief corporation as a device for re tiring millions of acres of submarginal lands from cultivation. The work is being directed by Rexford G. Tug- well, assistant secretary of agricul ture, and It is planned to use funds of the public works administration to purchase the economically unproduc tive areas. OFFICIALS of 21 railroad unions met In Chicago and adopted a pro gram' of desired legislation that in cludes a six-hour working day for the million or more railway workers In the country as a means of increasing em ployment A. F. Wbitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who acted as chairman at the meet ing, estimated that a six-hour day would cost the railroads of the coun try >$300,000,000 annually. The rail- YoadsA themselves have'estimated the ..probable cost at twice that amount he' admitted. Ab-TBR receiving -a report from, an investigating committee headed by Robert S.

In their profits caused by enforcement ot NRA: wage'and employment stand ards. , . Administrator.Hugh S. Johnson was busy trying to clear up the situation concerning the cleaners and dyers. Iiiiany In this industry had been cited for prosecution for refusing to com ply with prescribed minimum prices. The cash-and-carry cleaners contend ed these prices were so-high that their business would be ruined. Johnson defended' the prices pre scribed as “reasonable and fair for the quality of cleaning which the public has the right to expect,” but . conceded that "there is some demand 'for lower; quality or so-called scamped work.” “Accordingly,’’ he continued, “clean ers who wish to inaintain higher prices and higher standards, 'may join with the President to continue the minimum prices originally approved and such cleaners will be given the right to dis play the blue eagle with appropriate insignia yet to be decided on, indicat ing they are maintaining higher qual ity and higher prices.” OHAmMAN FLETCHER and his senate banking subcommittee re ceived a report in which were listed several million dollars in Insull se curities and German bonds among 7,000 items of collateral held by the Reconstruction Finance corporation on the famous $90,000,000 loan to Charles G. Dawes’ Central Republic Bank and Trust company of Chicago. Members of the committee refused to make the report public, but said It showed the outstanding balance of the loan ($62,000,000) was covered by the collateral under the corporation’s es timate of present value. They said the value of all Insull securities held as collateral was not totaled, but one member estimated it at from $8,000,000 to $9,000,000. In addition, committee members said, the collateral included several million dollars of foreign securities, among them many German federal and state bonds. The loan was made in 1932 shortly after General Dawes retired as head of the R. F. C. to take the chairman ship of the bank. It was sharply criti cized by members of congress and was made an Issue of the Presidential cam paign. SENATOR HUET P. LONG, the Lou isiana “klngfish,” may be nearing the end of his rope. Tbe latest news about him is that the administration has decided upon his prosecution on the often heard charges of evasion of income taxes. When Mr. Hoo ver was President an investigation of his re ceipts, as well as those of his political associ ates In Louisiana, was started, and dropped probably becanse'*tlie . , Presidential electionSenator Cong ..__.. jiwas near. Now... this inquiry has been resumed, tbe agents of the Internal revenue department seeking to find out whether Long re ported in his income tax schedules all the sums he received both as governor of Louisiana and as United States senator. In Washington it is held vir tually certain that this action has the approval of President Roosevelt Hney himself professes not to be worried. “That matter was scheduled to come up now,” he said to an inter viewer. “It has been up 750. times be-' tore, and always comes just before' congress ^meets. I am not Interested.” Long’s power In his home state is fast waning. In the first place, he has been unable to obtain any recognition In the matter of federal patronage. And the senate comnUttee’s Investiga tion of tbe election of Long’s col league, Senator Overton, uncovered a most unsavory mess, the odor of which offends Louisiana folk. Only a few days ago Mayor T. S. Walmsley of New Orleans announced that he had definitely broken with the “klngfish,” and others of his prominent adherents' have followed suit. REALTY and personal property j taxes, for state purposes, have been abolished by the state govern ment of Illinois. The step was taken after state officials decided a 2 per cent tax on retail sales, with perhaps some help from liquor taxation, wouid be adequate to replace tbe $35,000,* 000 levied annually In recent years on general property. This action is notable as the first complete substitution of a sales tax for property taxes any * state has made. It will result In a saving'rang ing from 7 to 19 per cent to property owners.; Gov. Henry * Horner, State Treasurer J. C. Mtartln and State Audi tor Edward J. Barrett comprise the board that abolished the tax ’ I 'HE Pan-American conference In Montevideo came to a close, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull, as he departed for home by way of Buenos Aires, said: “My most endur ing remembrance of the conference will be Uie beautiful patriotism, the patience, and the statesmanship of the Bolivian and Paraguayan delegates In the midst of delicate and anxious prob lems. . \ “The tasks were unspeakably diffi cult, but the good will toward peace which both have shown has bees su perimposed upon differences, and they offered the world an example of how powerfully a will for peace can con-' quer apparently insuperable obstacles.” MAJ.

He also fought In Cuba in the >ar with Spain. v O EPEAL of prohibition has by no •!'■means silenced the W. C. T. U." From Its. headquarters In Chicago comes this statement: “The first fortnight of liquor’s legal r'eturn In the 24 wet states includes some unnoted but nevertheless sig nificant developments that thoughtful • citizens can scarcely afford to Ignore, j “The results may be epitomized as i follows: i “1. For the first time In 14 years ! approximately 56,000,000 American cit- 1 izens, Including fathers and mothers, and nearly 15,000,000 young people, have been made the legal target of high pressure liquor salesmanship, “2. In consequence thousands of American homes are suffering today from the direct results of the return of legalized liquor. “3. Thousands of young people In these opening days of ratified repeal have taken the first serious step toward dissipation amid the flashing lure of the modernized barroom ap peal.“4. Thousands of men and women have returned to their business with judgment impaired, efficiency dimin ished, liability to accidents intensi fied, pockets depleted and nothing to show for it except a bad taste In the mouth and a memory of seared ideals. ‘‘5 Millions of dollars have already since repeal been diverted from legitimate business and from the im mediate tragic needs of charity and relief, to the till of the liquor seller and the cash drawer of the brewer and dis tiller.” For the present, however, this is as a voice crying in the wilderness, DHESIDENT DE VALERA’S govern- f ment in the Irish Free State sus- tained a severe reverse when Justice Byrne of the Dublin High court re leased on a writ of habeas corpus Gen. Owen O’Duffy and Capt John Sullivan, leaders of the United Ireland party and the Blue Shirt movement. They had been arrested at Westport under the public safety act Justice Byrne, In announcing his decision, said:/ “I can only come to the conclusion that O’Duffy was-arrested ,because he was speaking to some persons while wearing a blue shirt That is the only reasonable inference to be drawn from the facts. I do not accept the police superintendent’s story of the arrest on suspicion as the true explanation of the case. “So far as Sullivan is, concerned there Is no evidence why he was ar rested and his detention is illegal, -.,go far as O’Duffy is concerned, I am also satisfied his detention is unlawful.” “We are teaching the government to respect the law,” said General O’Duffy;'as he left the prison. “ The Blue Shirt movement is perfectly law-, ful and constitutional and will go on to victory. I don’t anticipate there will be any more Interference with Blue Shirts after the high court- vin dication.” • ' 'Ijy ■> CHINESE National air forces bombed Foochow, Fukien province, where Communists were concentrated, and In the process damaged the church and other property Of Mthe American board mission.

Wall Street statisticians have esti mated that the larger maturities total about $372,000,000, but smaller matur- i !ties probably will add another $100,- 000,000, and buying of rails and rolling stock might put the railroads' expen ditures for the year far higher.

The -man who deliv*. ered the ransom money swore- it was received by the defendant; flocks of witfesses swore to incriminating cir cumstances against him.

Were I the owner of a great news paper I should have prepared, and printed, a reliable estimate of the cost of Justice in this case. Witnesses'were transported in airplanes; twenty guards were employed In cases when one should have been enough. Spe cial guards were employed to search spectators at the trial; spectators were required to have tickets, al though at sucb exhibitions admission is usually free. . The trial lasted weeks, although It might have been complete In an afternoon, as the evi dence against the defendant was so simple and convincing that no other verdict than guilty was possible.

A Tesas editor was lately traveling by railroad, and the conductor said to him: “There are seventeen paying passengers on this train,.and thirty- three passes to railroad men or their friends.” The editor also quoted the conductor as .suggesting (probably in a spirit of levity) that everybody ride free on the railroads, as ls.the rule In Russia, where reform has made more: experiments than we have yet reached. Still, railroad men were offended, and the editor has twice humbly apol ogized, without appeasing his railroad subscribers. Not only railroad subscribers censor newspapers. So do union labor men, policewomen, farmers, clergymen, base ball players, athletes, artists, musi cians. the unemployed, brides whose wedding notices do not reach a full column or page; even the humble An drew W.

C ongress I t m e ets at that I i - J — T i/.,, time pursuant to theU n d e r w a y provlsions of a con stitutional amendment that was added to onr- Constitution chiefly through the efforts of Senator George Norris of Nebraska; Senator Norris popular ized the idea by calling it a “lame duck”, amendment He argued early and late that a member of congress had no right to sit In representation of his state or district after he had been defeated at the polls. Which may or may not be the cor rect theory. At any rate it has hap pened, and a new congress is under way; Where it is headed as a part of the current phase of tbe new deal, time, alone can tell. There are cer tain things, however, that are per fectly plain. One of them Is that President Roosevelt is following s course designed to forestall as much controversy in congress as be is able to do. In other words, the President appears to have planned a program that will prevent any snowballs from getting started down hill. * * * As the session gets going, one hears plenty of rumbling. Reasons for dis satisfaction are numerous and varied. But they can be concentrated ^sudden ly. At least tbat is the record of dis gruntled congresses of other years. Mr. Roosevelt and his advisers and his leaders in congress know it and, hence, everything has been done and is being done to keep the firing scattered. If there should be an issue devised or arise on which thebulkof senators' and representatives agree in opposi tion to the Chief Executive, there will be plenty of trouble for the administra tion. Republicans, you know, are not going to pour oil on troubled waters. They play politics, too. Looking over some of tbe possibili ties of -trouble, one observes such questions a? taxes, permanent liquor control laws, extension of the life of the Reconstruction Finance corpora tion, banking legislation or revision of laws we now have, reconsideration 'of the: law-which requires that every corporation, that sells its shares of stock shall register them and comply with laws about its financial status, re lief and recovery legislation in Its vari ous phases and others of no less con sequence. Washington observers are saying that each one of these contains elements that may lead to_ a break be tween congress and -the President But they also are saying that Mr. Roose velt holds the whip hand and that there are not many members of the; senate or liouse -who’ will take the bit In their teeth. * * • I said a moment ago that Mr. Roose velt’s course was aimed to prevent the molding of a snow* S ilv e r ball, for it is a physi- Buying cal fact tllat once asnowball starts, It gains both In momentum and size. Titls largely explains the aition of the- President In proclaiming the London conference-treaty on silver buying In effect Just when he did. The plan for the American government to consume all of tbe silver produced in this coun try will stop some of the inflationists, perhaps fifty of them, right in «i»ir ,tracks. Their states and districts will' get the benefit of the silver purchases by the government It means a profit for them that , they have not had in half a dozen years. It Is quite obvioiis that they won’t, become rabid support- era of a program for inflating the cur rency, now. None of the observers here seem to be In a position to say that the silver purchasing and coinage order is out side -of the President’s recovery pro gram. Ihey are agreed, however; that It constitutes a smart brand of poli tics and that it will go a • long way toward sustaining the Presidential pro gram In congress. And, If it need be said, there was ao assurance hereto fore that the present session of con gress would not enact straight-out In flation legislation: on its own responsibility. • . * • • And while the discussion centers on congressional possibilities and poten tialities, it seems proper , to call at tention to a battle that has started on -tte outside, but directed at congress. I refer to the revival of the long-time opposition to government competition: with business.. In this instance, the hue and cry concerns competition by numerous relief agencies and also by the Tennessee Valley authority which, to burlesque an old saying, is de signed to make two bulbs for electric ity grow on the home and farm where one or none grew before; TheT. V. A. started out to ,be an In teresting experiment and a plan to demonstrate what 'was possible with water power in development of a more or less bawen area. Its purposes have been expanded so rapidly that none of us here can keep up with ali of its moves..: Suffice It to say, however, that the T. V. A. is now trying to sell electricity for ■ power and light In scores of cities and towns and villages and farms throughout the section from Hie Ohio river to; the Gulf of Mexico. Getting back to the relief Agencies, SorCalled, It w as'the general under standing a year ago ana , “public works” ^ r e beI s ^ that the construction to be on^0®01*4 by tte government s C w nr r >sort that would compete with fthil per the operation of, privatoV?”1'1' No one suggested tkat Z % *** of relief, there should’be J J l sakt of railroad tracks, one of then 0* ment owned. While that - i t is an exaggerated illustration government has promoted nil?* ti°n that has taken traffic tte railroads by WpandIng *!? known artery. of highway.

C has happened since, I do not |L» but the reason for the firs * 2 was that the Fort Worth folks had ™ made rate schedules lower (or th“ projected plant than were chaTa* by private interests. There are numerous examples avail. Ublei but the import of each Ig Ua same. And they all give rise to Qn question: ought the governmeDt of th. United States subsidize, directly or indirectly, such developments, d;lye out private business and then mate® the difference from the general to payers of the country? From till vantage point, it looks to be decidedly questionable as a form of public wrfci even In the guise of relief. Politician! who support that sort of thing, I be- lleve, will <vish sometime they had not done so. * * • History does repeat itself! In the days before you and I wae young, Maggie, tin H ts to ry system of barter mi Repeats 016 onjJ means otselling or Imying tl* things tte folks of those days needed or desired. I do not suppose, how ever, that they ever thought the Amer ican government would adopt a sys tem of barter by which a commodltj would be traded for a human being: Yet, that is just what has happened in this day of so-called high ctollza- tiOD. It seems that Samuel Insull, the Qii- cagoan, who had buiit up Quite a bl; business In city light aad power plants and- other- utilities, is still in Greece. Some of the folks In Chicago would like to talk to Mr. Insull. Or, rather, they would like to put him on a wit ness stand before a judge and jury sal then ask him questions. So it was natural that they should seek tin aid of the government at Wash ington In their efforts to persuade the government of Greece to Mp Mr. Insull over the boundary Unt of their country. Greece did not Join so readily with that plan, because Mr. Insull was regarded by the Greeks ai a nice man. Now, here ia where hls- try repeats. * * « There came a day when prohibition was repealed. At the same time, there was a shortage In the United Statei of certain kinds of wine which Gteea could supply.

J A New Year. (From Hollard’s Magazine) Facing the beginning of another year, , it. is' always easy to yoice platitudes, to pay iip service to Old gods and fetishes; and it is easier for an editor, perhaps; than for anyone else; for after all, not large percentage of readers scan the editorial page, and his misses—a- long with the bull’s-eyes—are soon forgotten. So he says just aoout what he pleases, usually what comes first to mind, concerning New Year, and platitudes come easy. Facing 1934, somehow they do not fit so patly. They seem a little tired—these phrases about “a new leaf’ and “resolutions to go for ward” and “fresh courage” and their ilk—probably from overuse during the past four years when, instead of being reserved for Janu ary first; they have been called forth by every politician and econo mist and preacher and • business leader” and editor on all occasions. Not even a new song has received as abrasive treatment from radio as our stock phrases on New Year have had from our public utterers. We have never predicted any-! thing on preceeding New Years’ and this year we refrain from even the old platitudinous reassurances. We all know the coming twelve month offers new opportunities,' that we ate resolved to go forward when,-as and if We can, and'we have, been -conjuriug unsuspected supplies of fresh courage all =Ilpng the line fpnsome time on tlie. fiy n b S lK j^ i^ ^ even if'this : weren’t a new , year. But we are beginning to question ourselves and our society: whether we have been using our. opportu- rightly; whether our paths bave led in the most fruitful direction; whether courage without fore( thought is all of wisdom. . No one doubts the. inherent vitality of his country and its abili ty to endure. Humanity in . the mass is always vital, for it always reproducing itself. But plans of living change. The economical and social vitality of a people is very much like a rubber band: It re bounds to normal very promptly at first; but with greater and greater stretching at more and more fre quent intervals, it recovers more slowly each time, until finally it. snaps. Then it must be either tied together again, in which case in can never be as good as it was be fore; or replaced with a fresh spirit, a new conception. It has been so with all peoples throughout all history; and so it has been and is with the American people. Tbe rubber band of our vitality that has held our social con ceptions together has been stretch ed tremendously since 1929, and here .and there old conceptions have slipped out of its preserving hold. Others will undoubtedly go. We may, we quite probably shall, come out of these conditions with; radi cally changed viewpoints on many things. Important as this i® to the stud ent of history, it is not the vital point to us That vital point is that the nation will go on. It will be somewhat staggered for the time true enough; it will be a more ma ture and, we hope, a more thought ful nation; it will be in many re spects a changed nation. But it will recover and go on; add if from our trials and discipline we shall bave conceived new and more wor thy values, greater power a deeper sense of responsibility to our fel lows, a consciousness of the neces sity for forevision, in building our society, then these vicissitudes will bave been well worth every cost.

A great many political writers are busy these days speculating ;pd what will be this issues in the cam? pains of 1934 and 1936. Sevefal tentative ones have been , proposed ambngAhem bureaucracy;, ‘ back;to the Constitution;” less, interference :n private business and so Ouite recently, however, the ex? perts have been turning thelrfkt tent ion more to the questional of money, and are saying tbatj i§Sa; tion will be the issue in tbe.cdmbg campaign. But as an issue, iriffa- tion is beating them to it. ItiIscScit looming ahead for the coming cam paign, it is already here. Events: have moved rapidly in the mone-i tary campaign during the past few weeks. The resignation of Professor, SpfagUe from the administration was followed by otljer moves, ;s&mg supporting and • others criticizing: the gold policy of. (be adtniulstra- tion. ■ • Perhaps the most outstaying, development Was the sta,eme|f;;o| former Governor Al Smith,\on:| the; sound money ' question. :Goy|'ino£! Smith summed up the case of thk so called hard money tne.nijin -!char? acteristic fashion, in laugiftgefthaj brooked no misunderstanding%s tq. where he !stood. Tbejtli§ife^I’ii,‘c he; one, some little tiine:. - -His. ... tion oftbe ‘ ‘b rain .t^p p ^ as^^ p same time bond prices declined 5 7 per cent. , These figures, while not conclu sive because of the shortness of the time covered, may, lead one, to infer that the sound money men know what they are saying when they assert that in periods of inflation those who benefit first are not thc- farmers and the owners of com modities but those who are wise enough and nimble enough to gimble properly in stocks, while the credit of the country, as evi denced by the shrinkage in bond prices, is immediately weakened. Of course, in the long run, infla tion brings ruin to all those who decide to “stick by the ship” and not to leave the country until the storm is over. Of course those who favor mild inflation say that they do not intend to have it get out of hand. But that is just what the inflationists have said in- every country when first embarking on the dangerous enterprise. Good fellow. Mayor LaGuardia, of New York city has a perspectivee and a can dor rarely seen in a public official. Assuming the office which he won iu- one of the most tempestuous Imayoral elections in history, he de- tlljired quite frankly that he would !mkke no attempt to be a good "fel- make jmkt, until. they hear the sig nal, isTcharacteristic of Mr, Smith at his best. '; “What.the people need today.? is What the Bible: centuries, ago de scribed as ‘the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.’ That was what Grover Cleveland represent ed to the people in his day—a sym bol of stienght and firmness, of coolness, of rock-like integrity^ in the midst of shifting sands, heat and desolation.” In this striking statement Governor Smith, as his reference to President Cleveland proves did not lose sight of the fact that he is a-good Democrat, but bis statement .nonetheless, will not be taken kindly by those ia the financial- picture who may: take it that they are referred to as “shift ing sands.” Following Governor Smith’s broadside, the statements flew thick and fast, some ,..supporting and others denouncing the President’s gold policy. In New York there were two mass meetings in one day. One of these, joined in by rep resentatives of the American Fed eration of Labor, the American Legion and Crusaders—who did such -effective work in the . anti prohibition crusade—denounced in flation and called for a return to SoUnd-inoney”. and the gold stan dard. On the same date Father Coughlin noted, for his De.ro>1 broadcasts, addressed a cheering mass meeting in New York ia favor Ot President Roosevelt’s monteary policies. . And So the argument con tinues .merrily. Iuflatiou will not be an issue in P9 3 6.. It is an issue new. ^ In an analysis, of the effects of the gold purcnase program, the Alexander Hamilton Institute points Out the fact that from the time England left gold standard up to November 1 of this year, the price pfj gold in.. Londpp ^pcreased 55 I "’per ;cent.. Wholesale prices increased but 51 per . cent, prices of primary products 14 4 per. cent, while stock prices gained 2 3 3 per cent. Since the inauguration of our own gold purchase plan in one month the price of ■ gold has been you advanced 16.4 per cent.

The arous ed citizenry, tired'of graft, corrup tion and favoritism, put "him thete. There must have been comparative ly few job seekers among his con stituents. In that respect, he was more fortunate than most mayors. Still it requires common sense and courage to make the statements at tributed to him, and we admire him tor it. ' We feel like rising up and shout ing, “Hits off to'an honest poli tician.” And In the words of a famous poet, “May his tribe in crease.”—Twin-Gity Sentinel. A Tip To Our Mer chants. Here’s the wrong way to make a sale:Customer comes in to buy a neck- (ie. . ‘How much is it?” he inquires, after having found a tie which suits him. “One dollar,” replies the mer chant . Customer digs down into his jeans, finds a dollar bill and puts it down on the counter, He picks up the tie, which the merchant hs3 wrapped up in the meantime, and starts to leave thestore. •Just a minute!” cal.s out the merchant “You’ve forgotten the sales tax!" Customers goes back to the chunt ers. puts down his package, rum- mages in his pocket for the change and hands over the required three pennies He leaves the' store in a slightly irritated frame of mind The merchant deliberately and un necessarily irritated him. And that, as every merchant knows, is mighty poor business. . And now; here’s the right way to make a Sale: Customer selects the same tie and asks the same question. . “One dollar and three cents, in cluding the tax,” replies the , mer chant. The’bankers’ c :de which Gener al Johnson kicked off the premises and-along with it the deputy ad ministrator who bad tried to put it over in. his name, contained charges for about every banking service imaginable'and sqme that can't be imagined . Charging for receiving deposits, for taking in money,-isin- eluded in the group that, it is diffi cult to imagine... Charging for pay ing out money= when the account isn’t paying .its way is understand able but charging for taking it in seems a bit raw. The charging business might be simplified by an admission fee at the door. General Johnson didn’t sav whether his dissatisfaction was on account of the ..extension of the Service charge, ,but it may be hoped when the new code comes up he wiil modify that- a trifle. There was never good business sense in the former bank !custom of render ing mucfl service at a loss. The freebusiness.was abused. Reason- ablecharges forsetvice are justified. The contention, that there should be a rqniform . service charge that will enable the banks to make a profit is well founded. Also the cost and they can well afford to pay it. But in the matter; of uniform charges the biggest item in the banking trade remains untouched, in the code so far as appears,. That is the. interest charge to borrowers. State law fixing= the interest rate rantly(govern. Certainly the^dpn’t in^Nprth ^arplina:aud^M is:;a^Um - pally different in that respect. With out taking up' the discussion-, as to" whether banks can exist, or more than, exist, that;adhere. strictly to the. 6 per cent-rate—which few do —it is the gounging practice that is most reprehensible and: that de serves attention Bankers vary a mong customers. One who must borrow, whose need compels ac ceptance of most any sort of terms, is more than often made to pay all the traffic will bear and some more. The banktakes advantage, of his need to rob him.. That’s , the cor rect word for it. The same bank wiil lend to another patron who offers no better collaetral,: for lses, may be for the regular rate. The favored patron gets favors if; he is independent and of such; standing that be doesn’t have to submit to gouging. There may..' be argu ment for exceeding the interest rate at .titnes in order to give the bank a profit. Certainly the bank can’t lend money at cost. But there can be no excuse for discriminating a- mong borrowers simplv becanse one is cathpelled by his needs to submit to the robbery; and the other es capes robbery because he is, in a position to resist the imposition. — GreensboroNews.. .. . Farmers Die on Red >e. A letter from ,Charleston last week tells of the case of a farmer who feels very sore about the "trick” he says has been played oh him by. the Government, He .bad ,a, total of nine plowmen. . He had. taken :care of these men the best he could for the past three or four years. Dur ing-this time they had lived in the houses the farmer built''at hie own expense, and on which he had manag ed to keep his taxes paid; that they had planted his land every Year. This farmer, at the risk of breaking up his business took care of these meii. He managed somehow to pay his taxes. Now at this time he said, when so much relief work is going on all over the country, a farmer-can- not find-one single man that .,will agree to give one daa’s work on the farm; and the farmer bad gone out to his farm on ths morning before; to find that the United States Gov- ernment had sent a truck across- the line from another State; had hauled away seven of his. plowmen, Iaftlng him with only two. The farmer^aya he does not blame the .men because the Government is able:to pay ,much more than the.iarmer can affjrjj to' pay. The farmer soys he is “on.t of luck” and yet the GovernmSSt is making him pay more taxen than ever before in his life. If ; these things keep up he does not see how how he is able to stand Up under the conditions. This is only one of the many instances of the unfairness and. hardships to be endured at thin .time! under "relief” pans. r: Justified Backsliding (David Sink in The Dispatch.): Old Man Dan .Hedrick; the grand : father of J.

Why, In heaven’s name why? She asked herself excitedly. A man she had never -seen. A man she might not even like. There were several reasons. First, it site were married to Rocky she couldn’t be married to the man In the cab. Second, she liked Rocky’s people. And third? Well third, she must have sllowed Iterself to grow quite senti mental and silly over Rocky’s picture. She was half way in love with him. And there was no use denying that So she whipped her tired brain, ac cused lierself guiltily hour after hour. How many days passed In this way she did not know, but one morning when she was beginning to feel better physically if not mentally, she became conscious of great excitement seething beyond her room. There was bustling and banging of doors in the hallway. Mrs. Du Val came hurrying^ iij, . Her. small eyes were dancing with -joy be hind her round glasses. “You must not excite yourself.' Doris,” she exclaimed. ”You are feel ing almost well, are you not. dear Doris?” "Oh yes. I feel well enough to get up." “Xo, no. Not yet. Do not get ex cited, Doris,’’ she repeated. Mrs. Du Val sat herself down In a chair and watched Doris eat her break fast Evidently she was bursting with news which she was longing to tell Doris. “I have for you a surprise,” said Mrs. Du Val. “That ought to make me feel quite well," said Doris, trying to be amiable, and to look cheerfully expectant. She knew that this wasn’t true. She could hardly bear to think of some thing new happening. Things were com plicated enough. Yet she felt that she must know. What If— But Mrs. Du Val was shaking her bead. She had made up her mind about something. She came close to Doris, bent over her affectionately, kissed her warm brow. “Some day soon, you must prepare to see my boy Rocky,” she said ten derly, “that was all I tneant to tell Jon. I have heard from him”’ All the color seemed to have been Itted out of Doris’ face. Something sickening stirred within her. Her I0lce was buried beneath a pile of despairing thoughts. Speechlessly, she looked at Mrs. Du Val. J t hl Jt shocks you- But he loves u. Mrs. Du Val’s firm cheek was against her hair. "Do not worry so - a your husband.

"I didn’t understand. When did he—” she fastened gradually awakening eyes on the maid, “—will you bring me—no, never mind, thank you. That will be all. But Estelle,’’ she called after, her a moment later, “if you please, don’t mention this, I mean my being so shocked, to Mrs. Du Va!, will you? It would worry her.” . The day passed slowly. She was Uvlng In - an inner stiUness that was beyond fear. If Rocky turned out not to be her husband-rfbut that just couldn’t be. Somehow when he came the kinks would have to be straight ened out If he' knew about her loss of memory—If he were to turn out kind and helpful— Fate had taken her to the Biltmore. Surely it could not prove unkind now that Rocky was actually on bis way here. Mrs. Du Val came In for the last time. “Ah, Doris, I have news that should make you feel strong and happy. Rocky’s boat got In this morning. He Is driving out here now. He ought to be here very soon.” Doris squeezed her hands together nervously.- “I—I think I will wait up here until he comes.” “Yes, dear, that will be best. You must rest quietly. Besides, I know young people like best to he alone when they meet after a long separa tion.” As Doris was still silent she came up her and whispered: “Do not fear. I know that you and Rocky hale not been—ah—shall we say—no, we will say nothing. It is only a lover's quarrel between you, dear. You must not take it so hard. After this separation you will be happy together once more—happy as can be.” “I—I hope so,” said Doris nervously. She sighed with relief as the Uttle French woman' closed the door. She heard the sound of a car in the driveway at last From the window she saw a tall young man leaping out. Oscar Du Val was there. She heard unreasonably-^ mean; The thought brought strength and she rose. “WeU?r she said. “Where’s my-wife?” ■ ■■ “How do I know?” It was silly. But she did not know what to say. His anger was mounting. He was growing red. She surveyed him, looking at the tall. well-knit fig nre, the face which looked so like the youthful image she had half allowed herself: to love-in. her loneliness., Yes, he looked lliie the hero of her visions, but his actions were very different.- K he were only halfway decent! A new emotion came. It was anger. What right had.he.to stand there'accusing her? She had'done nothing to ’de serve this. His tone was sneering, un controlled. And what his tongue held back his eyes were saying, cailing her dreadful names, suspecting her. of things he didn’t dare speak of. .“You can’t—you can’t talk to me like that.” Her: voice wavered. Her eyes were starry with frustration that was near to tears. „ “I can’t?” he jeered. “I come back to my home, expecting to find my wife here as she- said she would be, and I find instead someone else jnasquerad-. ing In front of my innocent parents. Who the h—I do you' think you are to play a trick like that on my mother!” ' Sljedooked at him steadily. She was -stone cold, paralyzed with embarrass ment ; unable to think, unable to speak. “Nervy, aren’t you?” His mouth twitched slightly as he looked down at her. For a minute something kinder- aloof admiration maybe—swept over his features. But it passed grimly, “Well, In your business, you gotta be, I guess. That’s all right. But some times the nerviest thing’you can do Is to tell the truth, I’m warning you. What happened? Why did she send you here?” Her fingers passed diffidently over the soft brown waves of her hair. It was an unconsciously helpless gesture. She sat down in a chair, facing him dumbly. - “I don’t know what you mean,” she said. “No one sent - me here. Your mother brought me here ” Her perplexity seemed to have a hypnotic effect For a minute Rocky I Rocky! HisYoung FaceWas Changing—From Expectancyto a Dumb Stare. the happy voice of Rocky’s mother. She waited in stiff agony for what seemed ages. Would he never come upstairs to see his wife? At last came the sound of his footsteps mounting. Now was the moment. She tried to realize what it might mean. Her mind co’uld not- grasp it. He was on the threshold—she wanted to run away. The handle was rattling; Tbe door was opening. Then he was inside her room. Yes, he was Rocky, the man in the picture, the man who had been secretly dwell ing In her heart for so many weeks. Rocky! His young face was chang ing. From expectancy it had changed to a dumb stare; A. sudden darkness curtained her last hope. Blindly she waited. He shouted his greeting. “Who the h—I are you?” CHAPTER IV Tliis was, nightmare. Hope depart ed. She was not Rocky’s wife. His contemptuous eyes told her that even, more than his words. She sat looking at him hopelessly, her romantic thoughts about him mocking her Ironically. His return had not brought peace and memory. She faltered mechanically, ‘Tm—I’m Doris!” “Doris!” ' ,He was bigger, nicer than his pic ture; E venw ithragew rittehonhis face she liked him.

But the fires of righteous indignation put him back on his guard. “Yes, Motiier did bring you here,”—his voice was kipder as he spoke of his mother—“you’re right about that She wrote me about meeting you and bringing you home with her. But that’s not what worries me.” His face came closer again, half menacingly.- “I want to know how you happen to be In Doris’ place!” In Doris’ place! , So there was a Doris. She was not Doris then? She looked up at the young man with tor tured eyes. She moistened her lips. He looked slightly shaken by her evident agony. Then he quickly hard ened. “Come on. No baby doll on the witness stand business. I want to know—” “Who I am?” Doris finished it ques- tioningly. ' He waved a hand. “Never mind that. I know d—n well who you are. I want—”. “‘Who. am I?” said Doris joyfully. He clucked angrily, “You know d—n wejl what I meant I meant you were a friend of Doris’. Doris didn’t want to come to the country, so she pawned you off on my parents.” A hurt movement clenched his jaw sharp ly. “She’ll find out—” He turned his face away, so that she saw the line of determination written on his profile. A. pang struck through her. He loved this other girL This Doris. He looked back with new contempt In his eyes. ‘!You women are all alike. You’ll-dc anything for-money.- Let- me tell-you one thing. v Doris promised you some dough for this, no doubt. Well, you won’t get a cent Not a cent" Doris rose.

Matthew’s purpose was to present Jesus the Messiah as king. ,Strictly speaking his official ministry began at his baptism. So far as his preaching was concerned the present lesson is properly designated “Jesus Begins His Ministry." 1. The King His Own Herald (w. 12-17). L The reason for this (v. 12). The news of the imprisonment of John the Baptist caused Jesus to forsake Judea and go Into Galilee.- The fate of John was accepted by Jesus as foreshadow ing his own death. This was an act of prudence on his part. When the people reject the truth and attempt to do violence to the messenger, there should be a turning from them unless specifically directed otherwise. 2. To whom the proclamation was made (vv. 13-16). It was to the peo ple at Capernaum In fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy (Isa 9:1, 2). This is a section of the country most over run by the warring nations and there fore most exposed to the blighting ef fects of war. Thus we see that the darkest and most corrupt'of the prov inces was first In getting the light. In this we see a foreshadowing of the present age when the gospel of the grace of God is being preached to'the Gentues. It is just like Jesus our Lord to extend his grace to the low est and most despised peoples. He came not to . call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 3. His message (v. 17). “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” This is the same kingdom which John the Baptist and the did. !Testament prophets proclaimed. It means thp messianic earth rule of Jesus Christ. The time is coming when heralds will again announce the coming of the king dom and the King himself will come forth from the heavens to establish, his mediatorial kingdom. It is foj“. ttijg -we pray when -Tve intelligent!^# say -Thy kingdom come.” --II. The King Calling to Himself As-, sistants (w. 18-22). 1. His command of authority (w. 18. 19). He did not try--to persuade them by the use of arguments but is-, sued a mandate. ’To command is the prerogative of a king. 2. The station of the . servants called (vv. 18, 21). They were men of lowly birth and occupation—fisher men. These men were busily engaged in service when the Lord issued the call. . . 3. To what they were called (v. 19). They were called to definite service. "I will make you fishers of men.? He had previously called them to bi disciples (John 1:36-42). He now called#them to service. The qualities1 which'made for good fishers of fish— patience, bravery to face .the storm and the night, the perseverance which toiled all night though no fish were caught—would make them good fishers of men. 4. Their prompt obedience (w. 20, 22). They put their trust In him who called, believing that he was able to; supply their needs. When the king commands there is no time for delay, 111. The King’s Triumphant Prog ress, (w. 23-25). He went the whole rounds of Galilee teaching the Scriptures! preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all manner of diseases. He did a three fold work. L Teaching the Scriptures in the synagogues (v. 23). The revelation of God needed to be explained. This Is what he was doing In Nazareth (Luke 4:16-22). Such is the primary bust-, ness of every-Sunday school teacher and minister. 2. Preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom (v. 23). The king who was then present and was heralding his own mission, was ready to estab lish his kingdom if they had been willing to receive him. 3. Healing all manner of diseases (w. 23-25). There was no form of disease which he could not cure; and so abundant was his success that “his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.” The Great Secret To the man without faith the uni-, verse seems to be a gigantic, merri- less, grinding machine, but to us who have learned the secret of the Lord It Is our Father’s House, In which not-a sparrow falls to the ground without his notice.______________ Hold Fast the Faith Trust and confidence must be exem cised where there is silence and dark-: ness. We must hold fast the faith: that truest love Inspires all discipline;-, and justice, mingled with mercy, rule* FIRST REQUISITE Prof. AAtiert Einstein gave recently what he considered the best formula for success in life. “If A is success In life, I should say the formula Is A equals. X plus Y plus Z, X being work and Y being play.” . “And what is 55?” inquired, the in terviewer. “That,” he answered, “is keeping your mouth shut.” . Everything Barber—Have you tried that new hair tonic I sold you? Customer—Oh, yes, I gave It a good trial. Barber—And did you find that it brought out the new hair? Customer—Yes, it brought out the . new hair and brought out the old hair with it—Pathfinder Magazine. Could It Be? “D’you know, Mrs. ’Arris, I some times wonder-lf me husband’s grown tired of me.” “Whatever makes you say that, Mrs. ’iggs?” “Well, ’e ain’t been ’ome for seven years.”—London Advertiser. ’ STICKLER FOR MOTHER “Mother, it’s polite always to say ‘Thank you’ for anything, isn’t It?” “Yes, dear.” ' “And it’s rude to speak with your mouth fuU, isn’t it'?’’ “Certainly.” . “Well, then mother, If I say ‘Thank you’ with my mouth'full; am I polite or rude?” Historic'Aspirations “What is your great aim in-life?” asked the friend.' “To live in history," answered Sen ator Soggbum. . “Don't you care for political power?” “Certainly,I de.

Illi News Review of Current Events the World Over President Roosevelt Tells Congress a n d Nation the New D e a lM u s tB e P e rm a n e n t-D e c la re s R e c o y e ry Policies Are Succeeding^ ' I ' - B y EDW AR D W . P IC K A R D President Roosevelt JUST what President Roosevelt in tends to do and what he wants congress to do was not revealed In any detail In the message which he read before a joint session of senate and house at the opening of the regular- ses sion. However, it was an excellent speech; addressed to the na tion .rather than to the congress and. heard over the ra dio by millions of his fellow countrymen who should be en couraged by his gen eral statement of progress made by the recovery admin istration and all the allied collectiv ist institutions. In plain, forceful language, Mr. Roosevelt declared that the old meth ods have gone into the discard and that the new social and economic or der upon the lines laid down by the national recovery legislation must be pushed forward and made lasting. Op position to this, he asserted; is found among only a few individualists. In' general terms he told of the success of the NKA In lessening unemploy ment, abolishing child labor, establish ing uniform standards of hours and wages and preventing “ruinous rival ries within industrial groups.” The President’s claim for farm re lief will be questioned by many. Said he: “Actual experience with the op eration of the agricultural adjustment act leads to my belief that thus far the experiment of seeking a balance between production and consumption Is succeeding and has made progress entirely In line with reasonable ex pectations toward the restoration of farm prices to parity." Brief allusion was made to the war debts, and It was stated that stabil ization of the dollar Is impossible at present because certain other nations are “handicapped by Internal and other conditions.” The message referred specifically to the disclosures before the senate banking and currency com mittee of rich and powerful financiers who “evaded the spirit and purpose of our tax laws,'1 enriched themselves at the expense of their stockholders and the public and through reckless speculation with their own and other people’s money, “Injured the values of the farmers' crops and the savings of the poor." It also declared the in tention of the government and the people to suppress “crimes of organ ized banditry, cold-blooded shooting, lynching and kidnaping that have threatened our security.” The President’s closing sentences especially aroused the supporters of the Constitution. He thanked the members of congress for their co-op= eration, and concluded: . “Out of these friendly contacts we are, fortunately, building a strong and permanent tie between the legislative and executive branches of the gov ernment. “The letter of the Constitution wise ly declared a separation, but the Im pulse of common purpose declares a union. In this spirit we join once more In serving the American people.” TUIS message of the President was addressed: especially to the Amer ican people. A few days before he delivered another that was meant more for the rest of the world. It was his speech • on Woodrow Wilson's birthday delivered at a dinner given., by the Woodrow Wilson foundation, and In it he vigorously. attacked po litical leaders of other nations for . frustrating the. hopes of the peoples for world peace. Ninety per cent of the population -of the earth-, he averred, is desirous that there shall be no more wars; but the remaining 10 per cent are misled’ by politicians who have imperialistic designs and selfish motives. : Mr. Roosevelt's peace plan, offered to the world, may be thus summarized: Every nation would agree to elim inate over a period of years and by , progressive steps all weapons of offense, beeping only 'permanent de fensive Implements. Each nation could inspect - its neighbor to Insure against offensive weapons. Every nation would join In a sim ple declaration that no armed forces would be allowed to cross Its borders into the territory of any other nation. 7 By ruling that such pacts would be effective unless all nations agreed the . nations still believing “in the use-of the sword for Invasion” would be pointed out to the pressure of world 'opinion. V The President also - proclaimed. a ttodiflcatlon of the. Monroe Doctrine, . asserting that It would, henceforth be the policy of the United States to un dertake no single-handed armed inter vention In any of the American! re public : He declared that It was the joint obligation of all those' republics • to .Intervene In any one of them if ' such interference should become' nec essary to protect their interests; FOR the'current and the! next fiscal years Uie President asks congress to provide sixteen and a half billion dollars, in the budget message which: was transmitted ,to the lawmakers.' Of this Immense sum the recovery agencies will require almost ten bil lions, the remainder being for the rou tine government establishment. For these two years the treasury .deficits are estimated at nine billion three hundred million dollars. To meet these deficits the President proposes to borrow on the credit of the govern ment ten billion dollars or more In addition to borrowing about twelve billions to refinance maturing govern ment bonds and other obligations In the next year and a half. By July I, 1935, when the President proposes to halt recovery operations and begin paying the bills out of taxes, the public debt, he estimates, will stand at the all-time record peak of thirty-one billions eight hundred and thirty-four millions. Republican senators and repre sentatives and some Democrats pro fessed to be appalled by the Presi dent’s spending program, but it prob ably will be put through, just the same. President I ip; -- 11..... p ItESIDENT ROOSEVELT an- 5 nounced that he had accepted the long expected resignation of William H. Woodin as secretary of the treas ury, and appointed Henry Morgenthau, Jr.. to succeed him. Mr. Morgenthau took the oath of office on New Tear’s day In the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt and the members of his own family. Mr. Woodin's retirement had been expected since last summer. He is still in Arizona endeavoring to re cover his health. PRESIDENT GRAU and his sup porters In Cuba were preparing to combat an anti-government conspir acy which Secretary of the Interior Guiteras said had gone too far to be halted by any plan of political' conciliation, or even recognition of the Grau regime by the United States. The revolutionists, he said, were operating from Miami, Fla. In Havana the . army’s home made tanks were placed In stra tegic positions, the police were armed with rifles and soldiers were stationed on housetops to check sniping. The Miami revolutionaries’ plans “are too far advanced," Guiteras said, “because they accepted money from American corporations in exchange for certain concessions If they attain power. They can’t return the money. Therefore, they must carry out their plans.” President Grau signed a decree set ting April 22 as the date for the elec tion of , a constitutional assembly which will meet on May 20 to choose a new provisional president and draft a new constitution. Grau said he would not continue In the presidency after May 20, regardless'of whether the assembly confirms him as provi sional president THOUGH the year closed with prices for farm products and man ufactured foods showing a downward trend; though the estimates of the government and of grain dealers revealed that the acreage re duction program on which the Agriculture department spent vast sums was virtually a failure, and though there were other dis couraging signs, on the whole President Roosevelt and his ad visers had reason to believe the new year promised to see con siderable success achieved by their re covery plans. Many leaders In. econ omy and politics gave them this as surance, and there was manifested a general determination to go along fur ther with the' President and support his efforts. • Speaker Rainey, predicted that the session of congress would ’ be har monious. ' “We are going to have a short and constructive session,” said Mr. Rainey. “It will-be a very Important' session, but a working one rather than a dra matic one. We will pass the supply bills, the tax bills and the liquor meas ures and adjonnr early in May. “There wiU be no attempt; to over throw the recovery program or to. op pose the President, it Isn’t possible. If there Is any sniping the snipers are apt to be left at home. -“We had. the extra session , and en acted ,the recovery program and It is just beginning to work;: Recovery is on the way!” : ‘ S ill J * Speaker Rainey 'T'JRRENTIAL rains lasting many A hours! wrought disaster.

DEVALUATION,of the dollar ap pears to be a certainty of the not distant future, and the Treasury de partment is getting ready for that step. To start- with, It is about to seize all remaining private holdings of gold. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., now secretary, In an order issued under thei emergency banking law, demand ed the surrender of all gold holdings, with. five specific exceptions, regard less of their size. Failure to follow the treasury’s or der and conviction'carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison, $10,000 In. fines, ot both. The order applies to corporations, partnerships, and’ asso ciations as well as individuals. . One important exception which still' blocks the way to devaluation was' left in the new gold order. ’Federal reserve banks, which own $3,700,000,- 000 In gold and gold certificates out of. a total American gold stock of $4,300,- 000,000, were still allowed to keep their gold. How to deprive the reserve banks of this gold legally, or at least of the profit which the banks would otherwise reap from devaluation, has long been puzzling treasury legal ex perts. NOW it . is up to the United States Court of Claims to decide wheth er or not President Roosevelt’s action In removing William E. Humphrey as a-member of the fed eral trade commission last October was “ille gal and void.” Mr. Humphrey has filed with -the court a pe tition demanding from the United States $1,251.39 which he says is due as hia salary from October 8 to November 30. He laid before the court W- E. Humph- a transcript of four r*y letters from'the Pres ident Two of them requested his res ignation, a third accepted his resigna tion, although Mr. Humphrey contend ed, none had been offered, while a fourth !contained only these words: “I am In receipt of your letter of September 27. Effective as of this date (October 7) you are hereby re moved from the office of commissioner. of the federal trade commission.” Mr. Humphrey refused to resign, or' get out and formally notified the trade commission of that refusal; but the commission wrote him that it had vot ed to recognize the executive order of the President Mr. Humphrey is a Republican and the controversy be tween him and Mr. Roosevelt has been taken up as a political issue by some others of that party. It is certain to be the subject of oratory and argu ment in congress. For fourteen years Mr. Humphrey represented the, state of Washington in congress, and he was appointed to the trade commission byV President.

Sometimes, In smok ing an old pip? now, I become as sick as I did when a boy learning the filthy hab’.t . . '. Lately I tried quitting, and the nuisance of quitting was. no greater than the nuisance of smoking; in fact, a little less. . . . I shall try the plan on some other of my bad habits, since I have long preached that practice of good habits is easier than practice of bad ones. * • * In justice to myself I find I cannot read all the Interesting things In the newspapers. The editors and report ers have become as entertaining as the moving pictures, the radio, but I have my living to earn, so I must cut down on my reading, as I have been compelled to ,cut down on smoking, liquor, society,'and other of the more agreeable things. * • * A woman In my town was born In Keokuk, Iowa, and lived there until she came a bride to Atchison, Kan sas (my country town), where she has lived to old age; Keokuk is her out side world; it bounds all her reminis cences. And she tells some interest ing stories about Keokuk. Lucy Worthington, who married Henry Clews, the noted banker, lived there as a girl, and now has a palace In Newport, the most exclusive colony In this country (according to a certain magazine which sells for a dollar a copy). Rupert Hughes lived there as a boy; in fact, the Atchison woman gave him music lessons. I once at tended a banquet In New Tork city, and made a speech for nothing. (I heard later that Irvin Cobb, who pre-. sided, is so witty and famous as a toast master that he received a. hun dred and fifty dollars.) Mr. Cobb considered Rupert Hughes so notable a man he invited him to speak. Mr. Hughes had lately written- a candid life of George Washington, and In his introduction the toast master said: “ We have, with us this evening .a gen tleman who, if he; has not proved that George Washington was the father of his country, has at least proved that he tried to be. Mr. Rupert Hughes, of Keokuk, Iowa.” .

A large number of experts In edu cation, lately . met In convention and made oyer the English grammar. The decision of a considerable majority was that to make your meaning clear is the secret of good punctuation, good usage, good speech and good writing. According to these learned men it is all right to say "all right” and the speaker who dares to say “pretty good’’ is pretty good. The old quarrel between “farther” and ‘further” ends in a draw; neither word Ms further away from correctness than the other... “Nice” Is welcomed to nice linguistic society. So' Is “folks.” So. Is “Loan me a pencil.” It Is proper^ now “to make,, a date” and “to taxi" to the spot We are told that a preposition is a perfectly proper word to end a sentence with. We are advised that we may split the Infinitive all we like, if our object In doing so is to more clearly express our meaning. And we may open our sentences with conjunctions. The .writer who has spent a lifetime in learning to be nice and refined in his technique will won der, the painstaking are told, that/the old and difficult distinctions between “shall” and “will” are no longer Im portant The copyreader who for years has patiently changed “provid ing” . to “provided" In sentences like “I will go, providing he stays,” will find to his sorrow that he has wasted his time. An old-fashioned rhetorician coming home to the English depart ment from fails sabbatical year will find strange company all over the place.’ If there is any virtue that works out' well In practice. It is the thrift and stinginess of the Scotch. Ameri cans are so liberal they- use jokes on' the Scotch in their propaganda to help everybody. Harry Lander once asked a friend: “When can you go^o break fast with me?" The friend replied quickly and greedily : “Any ■ time." “All right,” Mr. Lauder said, “tomor row morning, at your house.” '. You will recall; that the great break fast to the Belgians, French,-English, Germans,; citizens of the Congo; .etc* was: at our-house, ’and that the1 foreign guests are still here.

They are nowfaceto face with a; problem that Involves not only the demands of the. farm leaders, but directly and. forcefully affects the-abil ity of the federal government to bor row money. . . . The - situation is this: the Farm Oredit- administration originally had a fund of $200,000,000 which It could use rather In its own way for relief In desperate farm mortgage cases. It could determine appraisals for itself and . do a number of other things In order to get relief to distressed farm owners without regard f6r ordinary federal mortgage laws. But that fund has been exhausted. Indeed, it. has been, far overdrawn, and the 'Farm Credit administration has had to bor row money from the Reconstruction Finance corporation in order to carry on that phase of its work. Now, the Farm 'Credit administra tion must sell bonds. It has authority to sell-them to obtain funds, but it is confronted with exceeding difficulty In their sale. Investors are not par ticularly anxious to take. them. Just here is where the politicians find them selves In a quandary. Farm leaders are demanding that the federal government guarantee the interest on those bonds, so they may be sold; and if a guarantee of Interest won’t suffice, then the farm leaders say the interest and principal of the bonds ought to be guaranteed. In either event, congress has to enact the legis lation necessary. Offhand, Itwould seem that congress should be wiliing to guarantee the in terest and principal without any argu ment It is a situation, however, not so easily solved, because of the effect elsewhere. ' If’ the farm mortgage bonds are guaranteed as to interest and principal, then the owners of homes will, and do, want the same thing. If. one;gets it the. other must have it sor the bonds that are not guaranteed cannot be sold. That.is the whole story. If both.of the. agencies dealing with. mortgages, farm and' home, are accorded a goy-_ eminent - guarantee, " then the ! Vhoie structure of farm and home loan bond Issues, running into billions of dollars, In which the government lias an inter est becomes a part of the national debt The national debt now is around $23,500,000,000. It can go somewhat higher without causing the -values of -those.bonds outstanding to become de preciated. Yet there Isa limit When Qiat limit is reached, investors every where will, suffer,-banks will suffer to the extent that they have government bonds, life -insurance companies that have invested your premium payments and mine In bonds to earn interest will suffer. In short, an overloading of the national debt will wreak havoc. V And In the end, taxpayers will pay and pay. So that-point where the politicians find themselves now is at the” cross roads. They can not yield all of the demands of the farm leaders. That would result in the things I have de scribed. But they started the farm leaders on their present course by a lot of promises designed to win elec tions. All the farm lenders' are de manding now is that the politicians make good. • * The early weeks of congress already have demonstrated that the session is going to be devoted Political to -a 'considerable Horse Trading ex*ent t0 the build- • ing of campaign fences. Although the votes will, not be cast until November, there is dis satisfaction with sitting members of the house and senate In many a baili wick, and there are ambitious citizens In every one. of them who are “will ing” to serve tbe district or the stafe. Consequently, the job of building cam paign fences is ! under way, and ■ the biennial horse trading of the politi cians has begun. ■ • ' The' horse trading, of ‘the current session, however,. Is going to be con siderably different than In most ses sions of/congress. One of the reasons why Uie trading'will, be different is that man who sits in the White-House. Ordinarily, maneuvers are' carried out .on the floors of the house or senate that are designed to enable this or that; individual- to obtain re-aiectlon and they are . accomplished with little or no Interference from the President President" Roosevelt hashls program, however, andunless the boys and girls ■ making dp; the membership iit congress line up correctly;' they won't get any smile from -tbe.Chief Executive when •snch a . smile . and ’some'- kind - words would' wtn tbe election..; It is a tough ' spot, for the'candidates. . : It -might be'.well , to explain how the trading Is done just so the whble thing Is onthe record. I have watchea them from the eminence ^f .the. : pr^s gai- lerles so many times 'that Uie gym- tlons no longer ^ove ^taSaiaing. Those things; however,-never seem to appear In the reprinted speeches Which ' the senators and representatives man out to their constituents n . trading goes on just the 1just the same. • • * ing goes^TconsWer ^ trai H ow ies T o ^an T :!?'

The traders get what they wait to most instances, because enough strengtb can be mustered among as- gruntled groups to prevent afHnnatre* action. In the current session, how- ever, Mr. Roosevelt’s program Is the first consideration and if the Demo, cratic majority does not perform ai the President says, well, it may he too bad next November. I am reminded, in this connection, of an incident involving Postmasta General “Jim” Farley, the admlnls- tration’s political guide. A certain senator wanted to see “Jim" about a job for a powerful constituent. "Jla" did not want to see the senator, tat the senator insisted and “Jim" re ceived him. He requested and nrged and finally demanded appointment ot his man "or else I will be licked In the election.” “Well,” replied the political boss, Farley, “I am not responsible for that I see by the record her; where, 01 seven major votes in the senate, you voted against the administration <m five. That record may not warrant your re-election anyway.” That ended the incident, and it also serves to show how the President and all .of his advisors engage In horse trading, too. * * * The turn of the year, with the fresh start that always accompanies a new year, has giren rtn See Better to conviction among Times Ahead obserrers^ conditions, econom ically and financially, are improving Underlying factors surely give every Indication of better times. We, here, who are meeting men of consequence from every part of the country week after week, get rather definite expres sions that conditions- are going aloof at a rate of improvement that rants real optimism. It is the lint period In four years that the senti ment brought to Washington has been uniformly of that kind. I am constrained to believe, how ever. that most people are going to be discouraged because recovery will be. slow. The spring undoubtedly 1« go ing to see more industry at wort than since the depression began, aid the summer will carry on with some expansion. But it takes so long for the improvement to become apparent to most of us, insofar as It affects 01 personally, that we get down in the dumps with waiting.

As they started, Greeley leaned out of the’ window and informed Hank that he expected to be in Placerville right on time so lie i mid catch the connect- Im coach for Sacramento. Hnnh was not accustomed to taking orders from aryone, least of all from an eastern tef tier foot. But he only smiled Iilnndly and said “All right!” The first few biles of the trip were upgrade and H Ink had to take it slow. Bid when lie f»ached the crest of the Sierras he begin to “throw the leath er'1 into Ids sir horse team. Down the rocky trail thundered the heavy coach, bouncing and "arching over rocks and chiickholes. Three times the terrified easterner tried to lean Ci-It the window and shout some more a cl “ice. But every time he tras thrown hsck Into the coach. The fourth time IA- succeeded and to his shrieked comhiands to Hank to slow down, that !V-Jstern Jehu shouted back gaily, “Keep your seat, Horace!

There war another aftermath to the incident, hoftever. When Grqeley was e candidate for President. Monk sent word to HoiJce that if he was elected it might be a pleasant memento of their ride figethcr if Greeley would 1 give him some easy government job. To this the testy editor replied: “I would rather see you ten thousand fathoms In h—I than give you even a crust of bread. For you are the only man who ever had it in his pow er to put me In a ridiculous light be fore the American people, and you vil lainously exercised that power.” I Custer Disaster M essenger X THE gray twilight of the dawn of June 28,1876, the men on the steam er Far West, tied up on the banks of the Little Big Horn river In Montana, were awakened by a splutter of rifle Sre As they rushed' on deck, they saw a horseman galloping furiously up the valley, turning now and then in his saddle to fire back at the whoop Ing Indians who were pursuing him. '!hen the redskins saw the steamer, they gave np the pursuit and the lone horseman dashed up. Springing from his saddle, he staggered on to the Far 'lest and gasped out: “Custer and all his men have been wiped out bv the Sioux!” He was "Mr-ggins” Taylor, a scout attached to General Gibbons* com* Band, on his way to Fort Ellis witn dispatches fron his commander.

N. C. Cave May Yield Secrets Scientists Have Sought The records of a possible “ther mometer tomb,” which indicates roughly the changing temperatures of ages In skeleton symbols, are be ing studied by Smithsonian institu tion paleontologists. It is a cave in the Alleghany mountains near Cumberland, Md., where the bones of nearly 50 differ ent kinds of animals, several new to science, have been collected. AU these creatures lived during the Pleistocene geologic period, the so- called Ice ages, which extended over approximately 2,000,000_ years and were marked by alternate advances and recessions of the great glaciers over eastern North America nearly as far south as Maryland. The remarkable feature of the col lection is the wide variety of crea tures who found this common grave. Some—notably a crocodile-like crea ture, bats, a tapir and some pec caries—represent families which now are tropical or subtropical In their distribution. Others, such as a wolverine and a lemming mouse, now are confined to high latitudes. Furthermore, some seem to indicate dryer conditions than others, al though the greater number of forms are suited to a forest environment. It is believed improbable that crea tures physiologically adapted to such a wide variety of conditions could ever have lived contemporaneously In western Maryland. In a report published by the late J. 'V. Gidley and C. L. Gazin of the Smithsonian staff, it is suggested that the incon sistencies may indicate a period of cave entombment. long enough for important climatic changes to have taken place. They hardly can be due, Gazin says, to a wide variety of topograph ical conditions in the neighborhood— the close association of warm low lands and cold uplands. Study of the Potomac river and creek levels of the neighborhood Indicate that during the Pleistocene there was probably less topographic relief than is the case today. It is known that temperatures dur ing the Pleistocene varied widely with the advances and recessions of the ice sheet During the far north ward recessions the climate of west ern Maryland may have approached the sub-tropical, whereas during the farthest advances it may have ap proached a state comparable to that of northern Canada at present Why the cave should have served Children’s Coughs Need Creomulsion Always get the best, fastest and surest treatment' for your child’s cough or cold.

MENTHOLATUM as a sort of community tomb over so long a period Is unknown. The bones were not arranged in any marked stratification, but were all mixed to gether.. They furnish additional eyid- ence, however, of the changing tem peratures, during the long .ages when, so far as is known, there was no hu-. man population in North America. ' The cave is located .in a cut made by the Western Maryland railroad through a limestone ridge about four miles northwest of Cumberland. It was excavated by the late Doctor Gidley, and study of the -bones, now preserved at the National museum, is being continued by Mr. Gazin. Alto gether they afford one of the best cross-section pictures of life during the Pleistocene yet found in North America. Airplanes and Elephants Annoyance at the noise of airplane motors that have- recently invaded their territory is given as one of the reasons for the noticeable unrest among African elephant herds of late by Capt E. J. D. Salmon, says the Detroit News. Even trained animals In the Belgian Congo never become really indifferent to the sound of gasoline engines, he states, and he believes it unlikely that the herds In the Uganda will ever learn to browse peacefully as the airmail goes overhead. The most significant result of the unrest now apparent among the Afri can wild elephant herds is that many of the animals are leaving their fa miliar haunts along the east Nile to seek new feeding grounds to the north and south of this area.

Pest That Bids Fair to Exterminate Itself One of the chief pests of Porto EIco is a large leaf-eating weeyil known locally as the “vaquita.” It1 normally lays its eggs between two leaves, thereafter sticking the leaves together, to protect the eggs, with a mucilage so tough that the littie weevils when ready to emerge, often have difficulty escaping from their nests. Dr. George N. Wolcott of the Porto Eico insular experiment station re cently announced, according to Sci ence Service, that the beetle likes laying its eggs between two sheets of paper, and will do so when paper is available, even In preference to leaves. The insect’s ..mucilage sticks the sheets so fast together that the young are totally unable to escape and hence are automatically trapped by their parents. This method of control is being widely used.—Lit erary Digest Find Hole In Peah For years western mountaineers have talked about a “bole in a moun tain.” They said the passage .was large enough to accommodate a load of hay, and pilots for one of the air lines recently substantiated the re ports.

In the years preceding the Civil War, a boastful, bearded, shrewd sharp-eyed , plump, happv-go-1 ucky man drove an old horse from town in the Middle West. Just before reaching a town he would stop, slick up bis appearance, change his shirt, iaserta great diamond stickpin in the place where a cravat ought to be put on a swallow-tailed coat, and, thus attired, he would drive mag nificently into town and tie-up in front of the post-office or leading hotel. Thus arrived, he would greet the ogle-syed citizens, who were qu’ek to gather about him, with a big hap py, “Howdy!” Then, after out his cards, he would begin his spiel. And what a spiel it was! He was the best medicine seller of his da}! Never did “Doc” leave a town until his" pockets were filled witn greenbacks from'the sale of his "cancer medi cine.” His card read as follows: “Dr. William A, Rockfeller. The ceie brated cancer specialist. Here for one day. only! AU cases of cancer will be absolutely cured unless too far gone! Even then I will benefit them! . This shrewd, rollicking, old quack doctor was John D Rock- feller’s father.—T. D Kemp, Jr. PLiz Dunt Esk.

Jimison, who served in the Methodist ministry for several years, now a member ot the Char lotte News staff,. writes an inter esting story which recently appear ed in the Baltimore Snn. In this he reviews the great prohibition battle fought in North Carolina the past summer and fall He gives due praise to Bishop Mou- zon’s addresses and work in behalf of the dry forces. Here are three paragraphs from Mr. Jimison’a letter: Mouzon, a native of South Ca rolina, who served large churches in Texas and taught' in Southern Methodist University for some years, has been a bishop for twen ty four years, and after the Gener al Conference of the Southern M. E- Chuacb next spring he will be the senior bishop of that body. He made his ecclesiastical reputation as a liberal and is still unpopular with the fundamentalists in theo logy and the reactionaries in in dustry. He is almost 6% feet tall and is a very impressive person ality. No mixer with the crowds, no back slaDper, dignified and aloof, he could Dever be approached by a politician like Bascom Slemp, or be given money by a “Fat Cat” Jamieson to spend in a campaign-. He despises Bishop Cannon, and is wholly unlike him. He makes bis appearance to the conscience and to the inherent pride of people, iu resdectability. He has an inordi nate fear of being pi it quoted and shuns puMicity. Ho^evgr,'fc&fr confidence, both in himself and- in his caiise. “Two days before the election he spoke in Charlotte to 3,000 voters who braved an icy rain and sat in a cold auditorium to hear him. He paid an eloquent tribute to the President and asked the people to pray for him. Within* thirty minutes he was denouncing Gener al Farley as a Tammany slave driver and the great crowd stood and yelled till they had to be wav ed back to their seats. The next morning a man stood in the door of his shop feeling the keen blade of his barlow. '1Iam tllSaidbe1 "to gut the next d —mart that criti cizes Bishop Mnuj*.on.” And he was not a mernbef of the cbarch, nor was he a Republican. “If the church people has ever lost tbeir grip on North Carolina which is really doubtful, they have regained it under the leadership of Mouzon. It is no longer in good taste to speak evil of holy men, be cause they are leading the proces sion. It is hardly respectable to advocate legalized liquor. It is con ceded on all sides that any dry could now defeat Senator Reynolds, the champion of repeal, and it _:s also evident that Senator Bailey <vill see ructions when he faces the people in 1636. “ Bishop Mouzon will be assigned to another episcopal area next spring but he will continue fo live in North Carolina, and as ?enior bi'liop of his church, and with the reformers all over the South lookiug to him for counsel, it is tolerably safe to say that the politicians will have to reckon with him in the future.” Still Found In Stall With Mule, Now, By Gosh. Senator Bill Bailey has written - a ‘piece” which he heads “What is the Matter With North Carolina? Chat’s easy. One of the chief things the matter with North Carolina is in having a couple of fellows repre 9ent her .in the United States Senate of the caliber of Bill Bailey and Bob Reynolds. —Ex. • Among the tbiDgs definitely es tablished by the recent flights into the stratosphere, is the fact that what goes up must come down.

A Mighty Truth. From every section comes the report of the way the government money is being wasted by the huge army of men employed in doing al moat nothing. At Atlanta, Ga., the past week. Mayor James L. Key, and he is a Democrat and a wet, too, told federal government labor and civic leaders that “the civil works administration . is operating very largerly and I might say very foolish Iy in tnis (Fulton) county.” The mayor, said the CWA workers have “raked leaves back and forth in our parks until the leaves are almost worn out.”-' These 'same things doubtless could be said of many other projects where this CWA is operating —Union Republican. - Questionable Results. North Carolina officialdom has been let in for a lot of criticism .inent the hardboiled attitude to vard the sale of auto license tags, »ut with the criticism there has vieen plenty of commendation and •ne can hardly determine whether she balance is of praise or biame. .Governor Ehringhaus has ex plained that the legislature fixed •be deadline as of January 1st, and it. was not for him to meddle with that date, one way or the other. . Which is all quite true, but the tact remains that heretofore the motorist has been given a few days .of grace under the same conditions, and now, of all times he finds it it hard to dig up the necessary fee. Those who would applaud the authorities fcr cracking down on the tardy auto owner, point to the fact that the present plan has brought results. Here in States ville, the. absence of blue white tags on the streets is offered as evidence that the motorist has conformed to the law, and managed somehow to buy his license plate. In the face of the records at the local tag dis barsing station, this is not so. The average sale of license plates at the local office, which serves this and parts.of other counties, is. a- rjund 10,000 tags. To date less EhSfr^ 5 000 have oeeu sold-here, "’'^ilrafeans that around : 5,000 their' stables, inactive ^ud?.'£Ontributing nothing to the W'the . way. ..of.-xevemie.-from. Goods Box Whittier.

Some get the help that dou’t de serve it, while many that deserve help.don’t get it, or haven’t so far. But that is generally the way in most of the charitable institutions in stats and church, even, j Can a working man or 'Jncle Sam, suffering from finan ial de pression and. head over heels in debt, pay his .bills and balance his budget by taking to drink? Mil lions of men and women are idle, millions half starved, half clothed and half housed and fed. What is the remedy? The Pre sident says: Reduce production, cut down the production of food, plow under the corn, reduce the acreage of wheat,; slow down cotton and speed up liquor and things like that. He is doing more to defeat his recovery program with drink and balance the budget at the ex pense of the morals of the people. The national debt ot our govern ment is about $23,000,000,000 and it is estimated that the present ex pendttures will increase it moie than 50 percent.

I see men walk ing the streets every day beggiug for work—men who have a gang of little children almost starving to death. There are men employed by CWA that are worth around #50 000 and with no one dependent upon them at all. I thought this money was for the purpose of-Re lieving the suffering of the unem ployed in the United States. .I did not know it was to furnish high salasies to those who are not. in real need. I would love to see the time when everybody could get a high salary, but I think this is a time that those who are suffering should be looked after, and if.^it is for the Democratic party alone.' I think the Republican party should get busy and get them . a man- to look out for them, for we ‘ have some good citizens that vote- the Republican ticket, and they' 'are citizens of the United States.; ^Be cause the state went Democratic, I guess the Republican party i JWill have to starve.

Truth Plainly Told. About the same crowd that runs the missionary societies in the churches, run.the card parties too. It is no uncommon thing for a minister of the gospel to officiate at a wedding which has been led up to with a round of card parties where gambling was engaged in. It is a very ordinary occurance when the card game is over for one of our church leaders to go iu for refreshments. The card parties, and the church es are getting to be one and the same. .

Business failures are. due to ex perience, bad management, in suf ficient capital, ineptitude for busi ness and others. The most common reason for failures, however, is tbestartiug of a business in a field that can not not .reasonably be expected to sup port it; or in one that is largely over crowded. In. a pamphlet issued by the De partment of Commerce this fact is pointed out and a thorough survey of the prospective field is recom mended before embarking upon a new enterprise It says: “In planning to enter a new field the retailer may find by careful analysis, that his. prospective mar ket does not reflect such favorable circumstancea as a cursory exami nation appeared to reveal. Hemay be saved from embarking upon the enterprise, thus-preventing subse quent failure and much loss to so ciety ot wasted effort and capital. The: time when anybody - could start any kind of business almost anywhere and make it a success is past, if. in fact, such time ever was. Modern busiuess is highly com petitive and requires better training than moderation is a dasirable trait carried to the extreme it has per haps wrecked -more business ven tures. than any other one mistake.— Ex.

J McDuffie, North Wiikesboro attorney, have declared their intention of entering the June primary in a race for Solicitor in this district, which, by the way is the only Republican judicial dis trict in the state. John R. Jones, present solicitor, is also in the race for renomination. Mr. Jones has filled this important office for the past eight years, and has made many friends and no doubt some enemies. We hear it rumored that that there will be four or five in the race for solicitor before tloe roses bloom again. According to our young friend Sid Kirk, there are 13 democrats and one Republican who hold some kind of CWA or other relief jobs in'or around the court house. It we were Sid we would make it un animous. He also, says there are 13 Republicans in Davie drawing $1.10 per ihour, seven democrats and three doubtful who are also drawing $t. 10 per hour. To save our life we haven’t been able to figure out who these 13 Republi cans are, where they live, or how they managed to get these good jobs. The Bank Of Davie. Having been without full local banking facilities for nearly, a year, Mpcksville has cause to be happy o y ^ the fact , that The Bank of Davie is now ojidn for business.' ?A bank is necessary to the busi ness life of a town and community and business bas been held up and retarded to a great extent for the past several months. With our bank open for business again there is a feeling of optimism throughout ■ the town and county. The officers' and directors of The Bank ofDavie' have worked untiringly to get the bank re-opened on a safe and sound basis, and this task has been ac complished. : Those who got be hind the back'and pushed are the ones who deserve credit for the town now having a banking house as sound as any banking institution in this section of the country. Banking conditions and regula tions have undergone many changes since last March. Everysafeguard bas been thrown about the deposit or’s dollar All deposits on check ing, saving or certificate, accounts up to $2,500, are guaranteed, aud are as safe as United States bonds. It will be almost impossible for a bank to fail in ' Noith Carolina in the future... There is no reason why anyone should use their sock as a depository for cash that should be in the regular trade channels Give The Bank of Davie your full est support; show your confidence in the men who have worked so hard to re open the bank. It can not succeed without your support. The affairs of the -Bank have been examined by Examiners of the Federal Deposit Insurance Co- opeiation and- the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. These ex aminers approved the Financial condition to the extent that.the Re construction Finance Corporation bought $20.000 preferred stock in the Bank of Dave. The Fed eral Deposit Insurance issued their certificate guaranteeing the old available deposits aud all new . de posits up to $25,000 00. The officials were congratulated by Guerney P.

As £oon as your mother saw me she took me in her arms. She was glad to see me. She said I was her daughter, I thought—” She could not go on. Tears were choking her voice. Rocky said coldly. “You seem very Sood at falling in someone's arms. So is your friend Doris.’’ Twisting her handkerchief reproach fully, she said, “You seem perfectly heartless about Doris. It’s a nice way to talk about your wife. I’m sure. And you didn't even write to her while you TCre away.” He flushed uncomfortably, threw himself down on the couch. Look here.

The real Doris—” “What’s the real Doris like?” He looked at her skeptically. 4tYou still maintain that you don’t know. Well maybe you don’t But I’ll say this much, that when Mother wrote how much she liked my—my wife, I was never more surprised in my life." Doris stood with averted head. “What will your wife say. when she finds out about me?” Rocky looked at her sharply. “Let’s not discuss her right now. The point Is, I'm due to walk downstairs with yon on my arm. If—If they guessed the truth there would be a most un holy bust-up.” Doris shivered. “I can’t go through with It.” Bocky said. “Well then. I think it’s the best plan to go on pretending.” “It isn’t very easy.” “Well, w e might as w ell be friends.” Rocky smiled. His face—so like that pictured friend of hers—IiRhted up. His w hite even teeth were a surprise. As he spoke he put his arm around Doris and lifted her to her feet. Anger shook her. She jerked away. “Is that your Idea of being friends?” He put his hand across his mouth, patted his Bpa mockingly. Then he pretended to cough respectfully. “My mist ike.” “I don’t -.ike—’' “I Icrio w. I know.” Doris glared at him. “You know what?” “What you don’t like.” “What’s that, then.” “My attitude.” “I wasn’t going to say that at all.” She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She-flushed, her hair slightly disheveled, but that dress—the dress did make her look nice. It steadied her to see herself In It “I was going to say that I don’t like to go down to dinner with a man who has soot all over his nose.” “Yon win.- It’s agreed, then, that we’re not going to give each other away.” “Not tonight anyway.” They went, down into the dining room. The handles on the tables beamed joyously; Mr. and Mrs. Du Val were.fuii of a secret elation that showed In the burning of Oscar’s dark eyes, and In the curve of Mrs. Du Vai’s happy lips. 1Ah now, this Isl something,” said Oscar Du Val with satisfaction. He slipped behind Doris’ chair with an air of gay rivalry. Rocky held out his mother’s chair gallantly. The women seated themselves. “Such soup,” sighed Rocky. “I haven’t tasted anything as good as this for years.” “You haven’t been home for years,” said Oscar Du Val. “You are a bad >n.” “Now that he is married it will he different. Ah yes, Doris will see that he comes home regularly, as a good boy should.” Doris did not dare to look up from her soup. Rocky changed the subject. “How’s the Memorial coming on, Dad?” Oscar made an Impolite noise. “Do not switch the talk like that, my boy. What do you care about the Memorial? You talk silly. Tonight we want to hear where you and Doris plan to live. I do not approve of New York. It Is too noisy. The dust is bad for the chil dren. I am right, am I not; Adoree ?” His wife was looking at him re proachfully. It was evident that she considered Oscar was being far from delicate In alluding to the unborn chil dren. Doris was so sensitive she had never once mentioned the child to her mother-in-law. “Oh oul, you are always right,” said Mrs. Du Val disgustedly. She caught Doris’ embarrassed eye, and laughed slightly. “You should not live in New York.” “No, no,” said Rocky loudly. “Don’t want to live In New York.” BUs raised voice gave such an odd effect that both his parents stared at him in astonish ment His face was red with /the effort he was making to keep up his end of the conversation. “In fact, we’ve Jnst about settled to,live In LarchmQnt, haven’t we, Doris?” “Larchmont?” echoed Doris In -tonishment. “We saw such a dear little house there,” said Rockyi “perched on the edge of the Sound. There were roses growing round the door—" “I should think the salt water would ruin them,” said Oscar sardonically. Doris laughed hysterically. The fish was brought in and handed round. “Ah,’’ said Rocky, "I- don’t know when Fve eaten such fish.” “Thb last time you were home, per haps?” suggested Oscar. “Ah Doris, protect him,” said Mrs. Du- VaL “His .father will spoil the beautiful homecoming with all this sar casm about how -long it has been since we have seen Rocky.” “He deserves It,” said Doris sin cerely. ' _“Of course he deserves it He runs away and marries a beautiful wife and does not even let his father know,” said Oscar morosely. “Then he telephones and says, ‘Oh, Dy the way, I have a. wife. Take -care of her white I go to Europe. She is a wild one—that wife, so do not let her get away—she might go down to the vil lage and get drunk if you don’t watch her very carefully.’ Bah! Such talk. I tell you there is something wrong with that boy Rocliy to say such things about , a1 beautifuls young girl like Doris.” Mrs. Du Val’s voice mourned: “Doris is a beautiful young girl.” She looked a . sly and secret tender ness .at Doris. "So you have found a house^a ^nice little house in Larch- mont. You did not tell me, Doris.” “No. I did not tell you.” Rocky "spoke., “It’s on the Sound. It has gardens at the back.” “It sounds expensive,” said Oscar Du Val.. “Your business is looking up, n’est-ce pas?” Hls eyes gleamed maliciously. “It is too expensive for us, of course,” said Rocky. “It’s just one of our dreams, isn’t it, Doris?” “H’m” said Doris. “It Is such a pity,” said Mrs. Du Val. “What is such a pity?” - "That Doris should set her heart on this nice little house, and she shouldn’t have it.” Doris’ eyes were large with embar rassment “No, that Isn’t it at all" Mrs. Du Val’s colorful voice sounded a diapason of sad tones: “Of course, Oscar. Now she Is afraid that you are going to give her that nice little house. The little house they have picked out together. Isn’t it true?” “Hand In hand,” said Rocky. “Please don’t say that.” “Doris,” said Rocky, “was especially, crazy about the cupids on the bath room ceiling, weren’t you, Doris?” ‘Cf course I wasn't.” 'Oh—he tries to tease. But all the same he wants that little house. Os car, you must give them that house for a wedding present” Rocky knocked over a glass of wa ter. “Just to put us ail at our ease, Mother,’’ he explained. “What Is that?” . “Nothing. It’s a stupid JOke. But to change the subject” he went on, mopping up the water with his nap kin, “I can’t tell you how good those, warm socks you knit me felt, crossing the ocean.” Mrs. Du Val’s face opened In a wide smile. “You wore them)” “Naturally. What do you take me for?” Having diverted the conversation Rocky tried to keep it away from him self and his supposed wife. He talked about his trip, and business conditions In France. He told anecdotes and stories ■ feverishly. ' Doris’ cheeks were hot Her eyes felt strained and anxious. Where could all this folly end? Why bad she promised to go on? .Her hand shook as she reached for the salt Sufeijr the Du Tals must -see -through tiltft. CJould they be blind? Oh—oh Doris. You have spilled salt. That is bad luck,” wailed Mrs. Du Val. “Throw some over your left shoulder. That will ward oft the bad luck.” ; Doris shrugged. Oscar Du Val said, “Her had luck Is over, since her husband has re turned. Isn’t that so, Doris?” Doris was hating Rocky so violently at that moment that she found it diffi cult to answer. Why couldn’t he have introduced his wife to his family him self instead of letting them meet In the Biltmore in that silly ,way? And now he was thinking that she was try ing to force her way in where she didn’t belong. She had a.strong .im pulse to tell the whole thing, blurt it out right now. But if she did, what would the Du Vals think of her? Perhaps they wouldn’t even halieve that she had lost her memory. They were nice to her now, but if they found out— She closed her lips. She. would have to have time to think about what to do. They rose from the table at last; and Mrs, Du Val slipped her hand un der Doris’ arm. “You mUst go upstairs right away, Doris. This is your'first night down and yon must not overdo It.” Doris felt thankful of the oppor tunity to slip away. She kissed Mrs. Du Val, thinking, “this is the last time perhaps that I shall ever do this. To morrow you will find out the truth, and hate me.”"Good-night, my child,” said Mrs. Du Val fondly. "Shall I come'up with you?”“Oh no. You must stay with Rocky.” “Ah. I know you want Rocky. We won’t keep him long.” Though half way up the stairs Doris turned in horror. “What did you say?”Mrs. Du VaI smiled. “Rocky will soon come to bed.” "But not—but not In my room?” A shadow crossed Mrs. ‘Du Val’s face. “Ah? You have still the small quarrel—you and Rocky? These things blow over. I will send the dear boy- up to you very soon.” “But I can’t—” Mrs. Du Val raised a protesting fin ger. “You are being a very naughty little girl. And tomorrowyouwiUbe sick again. Cpme, I will take yon up stairs to bed.” Doris was pale and' determined. If Mrs. Du Val came upstairs there would be more kindly nursing than she could stand. She would have to settle this with Rocky himself. If he thought he was going to sleep In her room he was mistaken. - “All right I'll go to bed.” She fled up the stairs. The door was shut ,She put her hands against her hot face. What a tattoo her heart was making. Andher hands were trembling. She would not undress an# get In- bed. She would sit arid wait for Rocky to come upstairs. (TO BB CONTINUED.) SSSSIMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAylCHOOL Lesson (By1REV. P. B. FITZWATER, .D. D., Member of Pacultyi'.

The Characteristics of the Sub jects of the Kingdom (w. 1-12). . Those who are members of Christ’s kingdom must-possess character con sistent with the nature of the king. JL The consciousness of utter spirit ual poverty (v., 3). "!JPoor In spirit”, doef> not:mean to be Without money (Isa.'66:2), but to come to the end ot self' In a state of absolute spiritual beggary, having no power to alter' one’s condition or to make oneself bet ter. 2. Profound grief because of spirit ual insolvency (v. 4). The mourning here is.not because of external grief but because of the keen consciousness of personal' guilt before a holy God. 3. Humble submission to God’s will (v. 5). This meekness is an out growth of mourning ever spiritual in solvency. 4. 'An anxious longing to conform to the laws of the kingdom (v. 6). The one who has received the righteous ness of Christ as a free gift follows after the purity of character which ,.expresses Itself In deeds of righteous ness. 3. Merciful (v. 7). Subjects of the kingdom now take tin the character of the king. He was the pre-eminently merciful one. 6.' Purity of heart (v. 8). Since Christ the king is absolutely pure his subjects must have purity in order to Mijoy fellowship with him. 7. Peacemakers (v. 9). The one who has received, the peace of God through Jesus Christ will not only be at peace with his fellows but will dif- .fjjse' peace to others. if. Si Suffering for Christ’s sake • (v. 10). The world hated Christ the king. Therefore those who reflect his spirit In their lives shall suffer persecution (H Tim. 3:12). Vi £9.- Suffer reproach (w. 11, 12). To have all manner of evil spoken against one' fglsely- f«r Christ’s sake la. an oc casion for glorying, v • II. The Responsibilities of the Sub jects of the Kingdom .(w. 13-16). The subjects of the kingdom are to live such lives as to purify and en lighten those around them. Their re sponsibilities are set forth under the figures of salt and light Ii- Ye are the salt of the earth (v. 13). The properties of salt are (a) penetrating; (b) purifying; (c) pre serving. Since salt only preserves and puri fies in the measure that It penetrates, so Christians only* as they enter Into the life of the world, can preserve it from decay. 2. .Ye are the light of the world (vv. 14-16)..' The subjects of the kingdom should so live as to prevent the un wary from stumbling and falling. III. The Laws of the Kingdom (w. 20-48). 1. As to deeds of righteousness (v. 20). Thedeedsofthesubjectsof the kingdom must spring out of natures which areslike Christ's. 2. As to sanctity of life (w. 21-26), The duty of the subject of the kingdom Is. to conserve and sustain his own life and the.lives of others. 3. As to organized life (vv. 27-32). The family Is the unit of society. The two awful sins against the family are a Adultery (vv. 27-30). b. IMyorces (vv. 31, 32). 4. As'to oaths (vv, 33-37). Speech Is the absolute test of character. Tire truth, and that alone, is to be uttered by a subject of the kingdom. 5. As to behavior toward those who do not recognize the laws of the king dom (w. 38-48). a. Not revengeful (vy. 89, 40). Turning the other cheek after being smitten, means, after one insult pre pare for another without revenge. b. Willingness to do more than Is required (v. 41). Rather than quarrel with' a man for causing you to do that which you cannot help, show willing ness to do more. c. Be charitable (v. 42). Qur hearts should always be open, ready to give to all, worthy or unworthy. d. Love enemies (vv. 45-48). Leve to our enemies consists In: (I) Blessing them that curse us; (2) doing good to them that bate .us; (3) praying for those who desplteful- Iy nse us. Such behavior affords the positive proof that we are God’s chil dren. WattSog Life. Man? a person wastes much of life waiting for an opportunity to do some great thing. While thus waiting for large opportunities, they overlook the Uttle dally'duties, the doing of which will Inevitably fit us for the accom plishment of greater tasks. A Christian Attitude • No-, matter- how much a man may differ from yon, that is no reason why you : should not maintain-a Christian attitude toward him and treat him kindly at. every opportunity. By ED HOWE '“pHOSB emotionalists who contend -L that only they sufficiently recognize the fine things of' life, and that fol lowers of the religion of simple be haviorism, lack these appreciations and helps, are' mistaken. The advocates of good conduct for its own sake, and sufficient religion, enjoy all’ real ten derness and beauty; believe In every good thing. I myself have been known to appreciate a_ rose; a symphony, a picture, the gentleness of women, the beauty of children. The idealists claim too much for their virtue; sometimes utter falsehoods. Snch conduct is a violation of the doctrine of behavior ism, which teaches good and correct conduct In all things. You may claim such unselfishness and Idealism as you please, in expla nation of your good behavior, and I shall 4glve you .credit I -believe tpany Clalmr too much nobleness' for their good citizenship, but I can easily for give such exaggeration In cases where the good citizenship Is actually prac ticed with reasonable modesty. The idealists say simple behaviorism for its own sake, and for profit. Is not enough; that good men should become missionaries, and offer more hope and help to the benighted. Theteachers of behaviorism reply that’ their doc trine has long been taught In every community on the face of the earth by policemen, sheriffs, Judges, parents, neighbors; that one may travel every where, and never be out of Bight of teachers of behaviorism, or of material triumphs for those who practice the doctrine. To prove that the doctrine of simple behaviorism baa succeeded. Its advocates point out that every ad vance In-civilization has been -accom plished by Its followers; every good man and woman a triumph for It; that Its doctrines have never been success fully dented, as have the doctrines of the idealists. The Idealists have fought great wars In their crusades, while the simple behaviorists have steadily ad vocated peace. In the long march of practical men they have not neglected education, moral teaching, the arts, and sound progress. The men of most education have approved the doctrines of the behaviorists; the men of science (which is honest education checked to date), have ,accepted behaviorism as their own doctrine and practice, and decided againk those overwrought Idealists who claim, simple good con duct for Its own sake Is not enough.* • • I have known a good many men to apparently attain respectability and success In life, and then jump out of a tenth-story window because of some thing they couldn’t satisfactorily ex plain. 'I have been thinking them over, and cannot recall one who, during his ap parent days of responsibility, did not exhibit a streak of yellow, or occa slonally wave the black flag of piracy a little; display some dangerous belief or habit AU men have bad habits, Inherited from the monkey, old Adam, or God knows where, but good steady meB hide these weaknesses with consider able success, and have the-decency to be ashamed of them. When a good steady man gets In a Jam—as -all men do—his disposition is to work out of It with as'little disaster as possible. If he Is running around too much At night getting too much in debt, neg lecting his work, , you are usually able to note his attempting to let up a lit tle; he doesn’t take the bit In his teeth and run away until the only remedy Is poison, a bullet, or a jump from the roof.• • • In spite of the depression I have a steady job. So far as I am able to estimate It pays me around fifteen dol lars a week. I hear 0. 0. McIntyre Is able to earn a hundred times more. This is regrettable, from my stand point but am I warranted in accept ing the American philosophy that Mr. McIntyre be compelled at pistol point to divide with me, Blnce I have had every opportunity he has had? In the first place, he won’t do It and there is no power on earth to compel him to; the better and more efficient workers have always been able to. get most pay. Captain KIdd did it, working with as capable a gang ef radicals as the world has ever known; it Is Captain Kidd’s treasure chest we look for, not the treasure chests of'hls fifteen dollars a week followers. The sea Is free to ev erybody for fishing, piracy, commerce. The more efficient win most: no law weak men can make will ever supplant this original law of nature. * * • When a. man sits down to write, he usually. concerns himself not with plainly recording his opinions, but with displaying his talent as a writer; and' deciding what line of piffle will best suit btyera of books and manu scripts. No other .man in .America can make as good a Vcab wit*? speech as I am able to make. . . . (Note: "Cab wit” Is & free translation from the French, and refers to a man who, returning home In a cab from a club meeting -where he made a rotten speech,. Is thinking of the brilliant things he might have said.) - - - 'There are so many colonels, majors, captains, first and second lieutenants, sergeants and common soldiers that I confess I prick up my ears on hearing of an occasional general. Qv 1933, BeU- Syndlcate.—WNU Service. YEARS ADDED TO EXPECTANCY OF LIFE ON EARTH According to records available, to the United States public health serv ice, preventive 'medicine has made encouraging progress In lengthening life In the United States. In 1800 the average life span In the United States was about 35 years. The Blbllcan threescore years and ten were accorded to-only a few In dividuals. By tfie beginning of the Twentieth century the average life span had jumped to 48% years. To day Americans live on the average 58 years. In New Zealand the rec ord for average longevity has been achieved, with an average life span of 68 years. Much of this progress has been attained' by the assaults of modern medicine on bacterial diseases. In- 1900 the six leading causes of death In the order of their destructiveness were tuberculosis, pneumonia, diar rhea and enteritis, heart trouble, Bright’s disease, apoplexy and can cer. By 1932 the six greatest allies of death had changed considerably In rank. Heart trouble had becomc the chief foe of life. ' Cancer had advanced to second place, closely fol lowed by apoplexy. Bright’s disease had moved up to fourth place, pneu monia had dropped from second to fifth rank, and tuberculosis had be come-the tall-ender. While at the beginning of the Twentieth century ;bacterial diseases were the greatest obstacles In the way of living to a reasonable old age, the principal task of medicine today Is to discover some way of pre venting the organs from wearing out.

IJII News Review of Current Events the World Over President Asks Senate to Ratify St. Lawrence Waterway Treaty, and Battle Begins—Russian Ambassador Troyanovsky Presents His Credentials. By EDWARD W. PICKARD Sen. Wagner PUTTING to the test his influence over the senate, President Roose velt In a special message to that body asked speedy consideration and rati fication of the St Lawrence waterway treaty with Canada. The opponents of the pact had been wait ing .for the chance to start the battle, and they were so nunier- .ous and so determined that no , one would predict the outcome. Ratification requires a two-thirds vote, or 64 of the 96 senators. Coincidental with the reception of the President’s message was the sub mission of a minority report by Sen ator Wagner of New York as a mem ber of the foreign relations commit tee, in which Mr. Wagner argued vig orously aganst ratification of the treaty. He declared the cost of the waterway to the United States would be 5573,136,000 instead of the $272,- 453,000 estimated by the proponents of the pact; and he asserted the United States would, spend three, times as much . as Canada,- though the Do minion would receive a “vast prepon derance" of the benefits. The senator - added: “Most important of all, I am not In favor of a public worts project de signed to employ Canadian workmen with United States money. The treaty provides that although the United States is to supply the funds for most of the work in the International rap ids section of the St. Lawrence river, the portion of this work on the Cana dian side of the section is to be per formed with Canadian workmen using Canadian materials." The President's message to the sen ate gave his opinion that the treaty was fair, that the waterway project was economically sound: He declared that “local fears of economic harm to special localities or to special inter ests are grossly exaggerated.” He at tempted to dispose of opposition from Illinois and Mississippi valley senators by declaring that the treaty provision on the. diversion at Chicago was ade quate to guarantee a sufficient volume of water. The opposition of Chicago and the Mississippi valley to the treaty was voiced especially by Senators James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois' and Ben nett Champ Clark of Missouri. Both these gentlemen declared entirely un acceptable a suggested compromise for attaching a reservation to the treaty holding that if the United States Su preme court at any future time al tered Its present order that the Chi cago diversion should be limited to 1,500 cubic feet per second after 1938, the altered judgment of the court « should ‘ automatically be enforceable under the treaty. The Mississippi valley people are es pecially opposed to the surrender of the domestic sovereignty of the United States over Lake Michigan ; and all the members of the army board of en gineers except the chief engineer held that the treaty provisions for diversion at Chicago were Inadequate. RECOGNITION of Russia was for mally completed when Alexander A. Troyanovsky, the Soviet ambassa dor, arrived In Washington and pre sented his credentials to President Roosevelt at the White House. He brought with him several members of the embassy staff and as soon as the diplo matic procedure had been completed be eagerly got down to work on the matters of x trade relations, credits and o th e r questions with the of ficials of the State department. 1 Mr. Troyanovsky was accompanied on his Journey from Europe by Wil liam C.' Bullitt, American, ambassador to Moscow. At the Washlrigtoh station he was welcomed by Jefferson Patter son and Robert F. Kelley of the State department, and by Toshihiko Take- tomi, the Japanese charge d’affaires, a personal friend during the years when Troyanovsky was ambassador to ,To- kio.' In a brief interview granted to the press Mr. Troyanovsky said he was not planning to negotiate a nonaggres- Elon treaty with the United States similar to those the Soviet Union has with various Buropeon countries. He thinks this unnecessary because of the good relations established by the ex change of letters between President Roosevelt and President Kalinin. l££ & Ambassador Troyanovsky TAMES L. DONNELLY-, executive vice president of the Illinois Manu facturers’ association, voices an opin ion that is held by many who have hesitated to express it publicly^ He asserts that the objectives of the Pres ident’s recovery program are in dan ger of being defeated by the activities of leaders of organized labor “An examination of the record of organized labor since the adoption of the recovery program,” he says, “Indi cates (hat its contribution has been definitely negative; that the policy-of organized labor has reflected the self ish ambitions of its leaders rather than the welfare of the -American work man.”He asserted that a recent survey made by Iiis association and other In dustrial organizations in all parts of the country indicate that since the NRA was-enacted approximately 1,200 strikes involving about 800.000 work ers have occurred. Tliese workers lost approximately 10,000,000 working days and wages amounting to more than $35,000,000, he said. The American Federation of Labor, for its part, thinks the business pros pect? for 1034 are bright though over shadowed by Ihe danger of inflation by fiat money. The organization es timates 6,400,000 persons have been. put to work largely as a result of gov ernment measures, but adds that in November 10,702,000 workers re mained unemployed and that civil works administration funds, giving temporary work to 4,000.000 persons, will be exhausted by February 15. Earle Bailie EARLE BAILIE, who has been , act ing as fiscal assistant to Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau, has re signed, and it is no secret that his retirement was the price paid for the un opposed confirmation of the appointment of , Mr. Morgenthau by J j the senate. Certain Il' I members of the upper„ -O r* I Jlousfij nota5iy Sena tor .Couzens, let the secretary know that they did not approve of th e retention- of Bailie, and Morgen thau told them Bailie had consented to help him temporarily and Intended to quit soon. So the fis cal assistant wrote a nice letter say ing that he would have to get back to New York Io resume his work with the Seligman firm of investment bankers. It was Bailie’s connection with the banking house that aroused the oppo sition to him. Senator Couzens had said openly that it was scandalous that there should be chosen for, a high treasury post a partner of the Selig- mab firm, whose flotation of loans to South American countries, now In de fault, 'was aired before a senate in vestigating committee. One revelation was that the firm paid a “commission" of $450,000 to Juan Leguia. son of the president of Peru, in connection with negotiation of a loan to that country. CHICAGO’S milk supply was practi cally cut'off by a stri-e of dairy farmers of that region who demand a higher price for their product The controversy was complicated by the evident desire .of the larger milk dis tributing companies of the city' to” drive out of business the smaller con cerns that depend on “cash and carry" trade, and by the determination of the organized milk drivers not to accept reductions In .pay. The farmers, thor oughly organized and ably directed, and the temporary idle drivers commit ted Innumerable acts of violence and vandalism, almost with impunity. Milk trucks were burned or dumped In the river with their contents, and In at least one instance a train was stopped and robbed of a consignment of con densed milk. When the strike had lasted five days and the farm administration and Sec retary Wallace had shown no disposi tion or ability to end It, Mayor Kelly arranged a truce and arbitration agreement and the shipping of milk to Chicago was resumed. OPEAKER RAINEY, after a confer- ence at the White House, an nounced that President Roosevelt was making no out of town engagements for the period during which congress would be in session but would remain at his desk until adjournment. He added that the President hopes this will be early In the spring, as he be lieves the legislative program will be disposed of speedily. BY A 5 to 4 vote the United States Supreme court sustained the con stitutionality of the. Minnesota emer gency mortgage moratorium law' which provides that, during the emergency declared to exist, courts might step In to halt or delay real estate mortgage sales and extend periods of redemp tion. This was held to foreshadow the probable stand of the court when oth er New Deal measures come up be fore it ’ ■ ’ In another opinion the Supreme court held that Bishop James Cannon, Jr., and Miss Ada Burroughs,\ his sec retary, must stand trial for conspiracy to violate the federal corrupt practices act during the campaign of 1928. DLANS for-the'Issue of $2,000,000,000 * of farm bonds for the purpose of refinancing the national farm mort gage burden were got under way' at the instance of the President who sent to congress a special message on the subject The bonds were author ized last year with a guarantee only of the interest, but Mr. Roosevelt asked that both Interest and principal be guaranteed in order that the bonds .might be made reaclfly .acceptably, to ■Investors. The administration’s bill also would increase to $800.00(f.0<>0 the $200,000,000 emergency' funds estab lished last spring for mortgage loans to'farmers who-cannot refinance their debts through the land banks. S IX navy seaplanes carrying 30 mer made a nonstop flight from ■ Sau Francisco to Honolulu, 2,396 miles, In 24 hours and 45 minutes; . It was the longest mass flight over water ever made and Lieut. Comm. Knefler Mc Ginnis and his men were entitled to the high praise they received from high officials of the navy. Mayor La Guardla IN HIS efforts to save New York'city from bankruptcy Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia asked the state' legisla ture to pass a bill that would give him full control of the city’s-finarices. But he ran Into a snag at once, fo r Governor Lehman in a stinging letter told the mayor he would never ap prove such a measure w hich, lie declared, would establish a fis cal and political dic tatorship that he con sidered entirely un necessary and essen- tia lly un-American. “No man in this country has ever asked for or received the dictatorial powers which would be yours through the enactment of this bill," the gov ernor wrote. Mayor La Guardia, who always has been a fighter, came back with a let ter that bristled with references to the evils of the situation confronting the city, the hopelessness of trying to get assistance 1Y- nif unard <>. unler men or putting piecemeal legislation through at Albany and accusations of political maneuvering by the governor. Later the governor and the mayor got together and worked out a com promise to reform the city’s financial setup and balance the budget. Under this program the mayor will not be able to set himself up as sole dictator, with power to abolish jobs and con solidate departments, but will have to share these powers with hls fellow members of the board of estimate. The mayor has only three of the six teen votes on the board, but his Re- publican-Fusion confederates hold an additional ten votes and on the face of things, the mayor will be able to swing his plans info effect WITH only five votes in opposition, the government’s liquor tax bill, which is expected to add $470,000,000 to the national revenue, was passed by, the house of representatives. Not one; of more than a score of amendments altering the tax rates was accepted by •the house and the 'measure,' as .finally,, passed, carried the same rates'Wig- inally recommended by the ways and means committee. A rigid requirement that all bottled liquor sold at retail must carry a fed eral stamp showing the government tax to have been paid and indicating the quantity and quality of the con tents was written into the bill by the. ways and means committee at the in stance of the Treasury department As passed by the house, the bill Im poses a tax of $2 a gallon on distilled spirits, $5 a barrel on beer and from 10 to 40 cents ,a gallon on wine. When the measure came up in the senate the Democratic leaders were caiight'napping and Senator Clark ^ of Mjssouri secured the adoption of two amendments that stirred up qnite a row. The first, provided for the plac ing of additional high tariff duties on wines and liquors from foreign coun tries that have defaulted on their war debt payments to_ the United States. The second change repealed that por tion of the Reed “bone dry” act pro hibiting newspapers and periodicals cerrying liquor' advertising from en tering dry states. At present such publications must make ,over and send' out copies for dry territory with blank spaces In place of the liquor- adver tisements. Administration pressure was brought to.bear and. next day the vote, on the first amendment was reconsidered and the change was rejected. The antl-cancellationists came to the front again when Senator Johnson of Callfoniia obtained passage, of his bill prohibiting the future purchase or sale of securities of, and loans to, any for eign government or subdivision which is In default to the United States, or' to any -American bondholders, > Q NE of the country’s best known ■V* newspaper publishers and ed itors, Frank .

I ® by Western Ntwspaper Union. National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckaft Washington.—While all of us are wondering whether the new year'upon ^ which we so recent; Sees Great Iy embarked will see an end to the mls- W a rT h ts Y e a r ery and gnfferiDg wrought by the depression; wondering -Whether the President’s program for spending our way out of the depres sion is going to work; wondering whether our countless domestic prob lems can be solved—I believe most of us have been overlooking a grave dan ger that appears now to be .rushing headlong at us. At the risk of being jingoistic, I am going to record here a conviction that a gigantic war will be under way ere we turn into the lane marked 1935. Some months ago, I wrote in these columns observations gathered in Washington that Japan was on a fence, undetermined which way to jump. Japan seems now to have decided. Her course, unless quickly changed, will lead directly and with startling suddenness into conflict with Russia. The great Russian bear Is fully aware of this. War preparation is going on there and it Is going on feverishly In Japan. Bjut that is not all. Clouds of storm- portending intensity are gathering In Europe.. They center about another Franco-German conflict. And Russia is watching the. potentialities of that situation as well. Military and naval Students here, and there are some of the greatest of the military and naval scientist In the world located In Washington, as sure me that neither a conflict be tween the Japanese and Russians, nor a Franco-German - controversy ending In arms can be localized. Others among the peoples will be drawn In, despite efforts to keep the.peace. I do not know, nor does any of the author ities, whom I have consulted, know whether the United States can remain outside of the lines of battle once they are drawn. My suspicion Is that the United States would be dragged In. Nations In this age cannot live to themselves alone. A picture of conditions among the powers at this writing, as given me by men acquainted .,with the details, shows relationships to be something like this: . Russia and France regard Hltlerlzed Germany as a constant menace and thSy have understandings that take In Boland and several other lesser states that always have been aligned with France as' military allies. It might be called an entente. Then, Germany and Japan, each aware of the forces at work against them, have been re ported as trying to establish some sort of an agreement. to act in concert against Russia. Italy, likewise, is said to be playing one group against the other In an effort to gather something for herself. And behind the scenes, -so to speak, the British John Bull Is shown as trading for advantages be tween the two groups, seeking all of the while to avoid a European conflict but apparently out Ib the open, or nearly so, In support of Japan against Russia. * * * Wilfrid Flelsher, Tokyo correspond ent of the New York Herald Tribune, , reported t* h ls Uneasy newspaper the other About Japan daJr ttat Gen- Sadao Araki, Japanese war minister, had called the attention of his people in a speech to the fact that this Is “dog year.” He explained that Jap anese greet 1934 with pleasure for “in a dog year things come easily.” He Identified a "dog year" as meaning smooth sailing In all affairs. There are a good many men in high plaees of our ^government who shuddered a .bit vwhon they read of General Arakl’s. statement They read into hls lines an intention to employ 1934 as a year In which to attempt to weld the civili zation of the Orient and the Western world, a year to launch a holy mission. Such a religious fervor contains por tents that are not pleasant to con template, as much because of the in direct as because of the direct,, effect of lighting the fuse. As the political maneuvers continue, a good many economic factors and de velopments have been going on unno ticed while we here In the United States Worried about the mortgage5 that was due, or about a job, or about some other purely domestic matter. For Instance, a brief - cable dispatch si few days ago told of an arrange ment by which Japan was trading fin ished textiles for Indian cotton. It reported that Japan would buy 1,500,- 000 bales of cotton, paying for It with' 400,000,000 yards of cloth. Cotton is a necessary prerequisite for war preparation. . , Also, Japan has been buying scrap' Iron for a year or more. That has been almost the only market for scrap iron whidi the United States has had, but; it has been a good market Freight <Mrs that are not of sufficient value to be repaired are beinig broken down and; the scrap shipped to japan. 'And last but of great Importance Is news report that vast deposits of nickel have been, discovered in'Mon^ golia. Nickel, as every one knows isa highly important-metal Jn wa^pians, and the deposits, as la'rge o r.IareW than those In Canada, are K worked to the fullest ' ” g So it seems to me that when Presi dent Roosevelt spoke, in a dinner speech commemorating the late Presi dent Wilson’s birthday, that there was danger of war, he told the country then of a danger that is much more grave than he desires to admit at this time. But if war does come, all of our problems will be changed at once. Un employment will disappear quickly; farm surpluses will be absorbed, pub lic works, debts, taxes, credit, currency questions, all of these will be changed, and In their place will come new prob lems.• * President Roosevelt Is following out a policy In respect of bis dealings with c o n g re s s 'Fear to Oppose that he began President '”be? he » a* forced to call it into extraordinary session last March. Then, through circumstances resulting from the distressed condition of the country at the moment the President was able to formulate a program for relief only In piecemeal fashion. Con gress did his bidding. He submitted a recommendation one day, and a few days later it was enacted into law, He and his advisers wrote most of the legislation before it ever was submit ted formally to the house or the senate. Now, the President is doing to same thing. He saw the advantages of the system that he was forced to'use once, and is capitalizing again on the per sonal popularity which he has through out the country. Consequently, his speech, his message on the state of the Union, was in the form of generalities. He made not a single specific recom mendation. But they are forthcoming now In numbers.- One by one, the projects of his plan move, from the White. House to the Capitol, there to be accorded support by the tremendous majority which the Democratic party bolds. Few, if any, of them will be rejected. The reason is the Demo cratic majority is.afraid to oppose the President. - Politicians, even In tfie President's own party, are mystified by his wide popularity. And when a politician Is mystified, he doesn't know what to do about It! The result is that the Presi dent is going to get on as he desires with consolidation' or expansion or ex tension of his recovery, plans about as he desires. Republican- leaders In congress are not going to raise much of a fussl Their, policy is to let the Democrats taike.adl of the rope . they can use,: and hope they will trip themselves. Democrats count on the personal popularity of the President to carry them along to re-election, for they don’t see anything else to do. And while the subject under dis- cusion Is the personal popularity of the President Washington observers attached great Importance to his per sonal visit to the balls of congress for delivery of his mesage on the state of the Union. You will remember, the message was broadcast Numerou* writers and other observers here main tain that Mr. Roosevelt was hardly giving a thought to congress, even "though ^he stood before Its -member- sbip in person. He was concerned then, he haid been concerned before, only with making bis position clear with the folks back home. In that manner he succeeded In getting pres sure exerted on congress for th« things be wanted done. * * * Present lndicatiozis are that there will be little meddling with the tax laws this session. Avoid New The program of the TaxLeoies administration, as thus'' far unfolded, is read by many £s avoiding new tax levies until congress returns In Jan uary, 1935. In the meantime* the con- -gressionpl' elecffons '■ will - have-, been held and the average person Is not going to get excited about future taxes; the Democrats will be able to cam paign without having to fight Repub lican argument calling attention to increased burdens of taxes. . But more taxes will have to be levied In another year. The Presi- . dent has proposed to congress the greatest peacetime bndget in history, a budget that proposes the appropria tion of $10,000,(KH)1OOO. That is almost two times as much 'money actually as there is in the United States, for the mpney stock of the government ranges only slightly more than $5,000,000,000. So it means that government credit government debt will be boosted to new 'heights. Unless opr government -wants to do the dishonorable thing of defaulting on its Obligations,’the notes aid bonds it sells on which the money is borrowed for bndget use will have to be repaid. The taxpayers will pay and pay and pay! For instance, when the ,public debt reached Its hitherto high point about $26,500,000,000, theinterest on-1 it amounted to $960,000,000 annually, or about $80,000,060 -a morith, more than $2,500,000 • day. 'Thie' figures are stupendous, but they can be larger. If the present, average rate of interest paid by the treasury ls continued; that is. If the government does not have to pay a higher rate tlian the per , cent now paid, the interest bill on the i debt of about $31,500,000,000 win ap- -,Spmch $1,109,000,000 a year. Mr Roosevelt said in his budget messag* that; the debt ought not be allowed Uf go higher than $31,500,000,OtlOi' ■: © by W esUra Newspaper Union. CAFFEINE’SSome interesting esr,!

NO “G LAD H A N D ” H ELD O UT H ER E By ELMO SC O T T WATSON hiioughout t h e w est once more is ringing that thrilling, that electrifying, that magical word— “Gold”! It’s all because of the “New Deal.” For ever since the Roose velt administration began bidding up the price of this precious metal, Ihc gold fever has been coursing through the veins of Americans once more. Thousands of men and women—yes, even children!—are ^ — .y washing and sluicing the sands of tC M western streams, “panning for puy Jllst as the placer miners did In the golden d/s of ’-JO- OEd shafts are being re-explored and //covered dumps are being worked over j/iiii. “Tlmr's gold in them thar hills” has be- Jme'again something more than a convention al literary Joke. In the old time gold camps of California, Mon tana Colorado. Soutli Dakota and Nevada, either /ail or sleeping these many years, there is re newed activity. "Gliost towns" are coming to life Old shacks are being patched up and eIlce more smoke rises from their chimneys. BtiiIdiuss along deserted streets are being ren ovated, repainted and repaired in preparation for the opening up of new business enterprises. Among these rejuvenated mining camps is Vir ginia city, Nev., and the activity there recalls Jlllte more the romantic story of the Comstock Loilo. And since President Roosevelt issued his order for remonetization of silver, thus stimulat ing the mining of this metal agafn, there is all the more reason for recalling the Comstock Lode. For even though it was the search for gold which led to its discovery. It was the silver In that lode which made Virginia City the “greatest mining town upon the continent” and set the stage for a jeries of dramatic events, echoes of which are heard to this day, even though the discovery of the Comstock Lode took place three-quarters of t century ago. The story of the Comstock Lode has been told and retold many times but seldom, If ever, has It been told more Interestingly, In all its raini- Scations than in two books by C. B. Glasscock - “The Big Bonanza—the Story of the Comstock lode," and “Lucky Baldwin—the Story of an Un conventional Success,” published In recent months by the Bobbs-Merrill company. The scene of this modern fairy tale was a valley In Storey county, Nevada, a few miles southeast of Reno, end more particularly a mushroom mining camp which had sprung up In Gold Canyon late In the fifties. Among those who eked out a bare existence there were men whose names were destined for future fame. “There was Henry Thomas Paige Comstock, a lanky, loud voiced, boastful, bully ing prospector with a short chin beard and a Ehaven upper lip which gave him a sanctimoui- ons air entirely out of keeping with his real character. He was known familiarly as ‘Old Pancake,' because he subsisted chiefly upon flap jacks. insisting be was always too busy to make the sour dough bread of the miners. “There was James Finney or Feniiimore. a drunken, irresponsible teamster otherwise known as ‘Old Virginia,’ for his habit of boasting of his native state, who had drifted into the region vith the Mormon expedition of 1851 and re mained to become as famous as he was bibu lous. There were Peter O'Riley, Patrick Mc Laughlin, Manny Penrod, Jack Bishop, Joe Win ters and a few other choice- spirits with some claim to fame.” One January day In 1859 a group of these Jnhntown prospectors took samples from the slope on the upper east side of the canyon and washed the dirt In a tiny spring nearby. Each pan of dirt showed from eight to fifteen cents worth of gold. This wasn’t a rfoh strike, of course, but it was sufficiently encouraging so that they set up tents and brush‘huts and es tablished a new settlement to which they gave the name of Gold Hill. After several weeks, pay dirt of sufficient rich ness to reward them with $15 or $20 a day for tteir work was found. “That was enough for the Johntowners, who were earning an average of Si Johntown moved to Gold Hill. The slopes swarmed with prospectors. But the rich ground was limited. There was not enough to provide profitable claims for the 70 or 80 men who made up the settlement They scattered, searching for Bore. Prospecting interest centered for a time Mar the head of Six-Mile canyon. "There in the spring of 1859 Peter O’Riley and Patrick McLaughlin, who had been mining n the district for several years, opened a trench ■tom which they took a wage of $1150 to $2 a aL It was poor pay. The Irishmen were dis couraged. They wanted to get away to a new P cer strike on Walker river, of which there as much talk in camp. But they were broke." or needed SlOO for a grub-stake.

But it was THE DISCOVERY OF THE COMSTOCK LODE (From an Old Print Reproduced in Glasscock’s “The Big Bonanza.” Courtesy, Bobbs-Merrill Company.) 3* '■ / A * * ® - V i m T to A j M a VIRGINIA CITY IN THE SEVENTIES also a fact that he had never recorded title to the water rights. “But Comstock nevertheless made his demand and his bluff convincing. His legal rights were negligible, if indeed they existed ^at all, but his character was such as perhaps might justify the fame which came to him in this doubtful manner with the naming of the Comstock Lode.” The news of the rich .strike spread and “there was such wild, activity as only a free gold camp can inspire. Claims were located In «11 directions. A few old prospectors had sufficient experience; to trace the richer outcroppings and claim valu able ground. But, all were placer miners. ’ - "Always they cursed and threw away the heavy blue-black deposit which clogged the riffles and carried away the(r quicksilver. No one recognized tills black stuff as the rich silver ore which was the true wealth of the Comstock.” For this Is an essential part of the fairy tale that Is the story of the Comstock, Lode—not only did the real discoverers fall to win lasting fame by hav ing it named after them but by a queer turn of fate they also failed to recognize the real source of fabulous wealth whfch might have been theirs. And there is another angle to this story which has to do with the naming of the town that sprang up there, "the greatest mining town upon the continent” It might appropriately have been named for either McLaughlin or O’Riley or even for the spurious godfather of the source of its greatness—Comstock. Then again it might have been named for another man who was soon to appear on the scene—Judge James Walsh. But that honor fell to none of them. Instead, it went to that “drunken, Irresponsible teamster,” James Finngy or Fennlmore, “Old Virginia.” And here is how that came about: Early In the history of the new camp, the prospectors gave it the comparatively meaning less name of Pleasant Hill. Some of them called it Mount Pleasant Point until a short time later when a miners’ meeting decided to give It the official name of Winnemacca, honoring the prin cipal chief of the Piute Indians who lived in that country. Then Ffnney, “Happily drunk as he had been for weeks since money aqd whisky had clronlkted freely,'’ finish'ed' a.’ night’s revel > by falling at the door of his cabin and breaking his bottle. Rising to his knees, he waved the bot tle neck and shouted *1 baptize this ground Vir ginia Town!’ The name was promptly and gen erally accepted. though for years the ’town’ was generally - ignored and ‘city’ finally was ap pended.” ‘ In the meantime Comstock had induced O'Riley and McLaughlin to Include the names of Manny Penrod, J. A. (“Kentuck”) Osborne and his own in. the location notice which they had posted on the scene of their rich strike. The claims of these five men covered 1,500 feet of ground along what was to become known as the Comstock Lode. Within-a-,short time they-were -taking out $250 worth of gold a-day. • . - Then in July, 1859, a Truckee river rancher happened to visit the new gold camp. He picked up a piece of the blue-black ore which was causing the gold miners so much’grief and car ried it away with him to Grass Valley, a gold camp on the west slope of the Sierras, where he presented it to Judge JameS Walsh, a lead ing citizen of that camp. Judge Walsh had it assayed and this revealed, the astonishing fact that this blue-black ore ran $3,000 a ton in silver and $1,000 a ton In gold. . ' 1 Walsh did not hesitate a moment Accompanied by Joe Woodworth,-a'friend, he-started before daybreak for the Nevada diggings and only by driving the mule, which they had packed, and themselves to the limit of their endurance did they reach the Washoe district ahead of the greater part of the citizenry of Grass Valley. For news of the rich strike had leaked out and the rush to the new 'diggings was on. Walsh bought Comstock’s Interest In the claim for $11,000. Later McLaughlin sold his interest, for $3,500, Penrod for $8,500. Osborne for $7,500 and O’Riley, who held on longer than-any of the original locators, for $40,000.' And In this connection it might be well to tell of the later ' fortunes of these men. McLaughlin became a.

But to return to. tlie genesis of Virginia City. “Casual ’ placer mining in Nevada gave way to something far greater upon the da.i when word reached the Washoe district that the black stuff which the Ignorant miners had been throwing away for weeks was in reality silver ore which assayed as high as $4,791 In silver to the ton. With that word caiue the vanguard of such a motley army of rich men, poor men, beggar men, thieves, merchants, miners and barroom chiefs as the world has seldom seen.” To it came young Sam Clemens to work as a reporter on the Territorial Enterprise, the lead ing newspaper of the region, and out of his ex perience there to . write “Roughing It” as one of the books which have made the name of Mark Twain famous. To It caine two sturdy you ng lrish men;'John Wv Mackay and James G. Fair, and from the fortunes which they made there were financed great telegraph and cable lines. Other names which link Virginia City’s historic past with the present and with several great American fortunes were those of Darius Ogden Mills, James R. Keene. James C. Flood, Snd John T. Bradley. Nor should there be neg lected that “most spectacular figure tn all the bizarre scramble for riches, the Hoosler who never shoveled a pound of ore, yet made millions ■ from the Comstock Lode”—“Lucky” Baldwin. As the great mines which tapped the riches of the Comstock Lode--the OphIr.. the Crown Point, the Belcher, the Yellow Jacket, the Im perial, the Kentucky, the Empire, the Gould and Curry, the California and the Consolidated - Virgihla-Came -into being; Virginia’ City grew and flourished. More substantial bouses replaced the rude shacks that were thrown up at first. A theater was built \find On its stage appeared su:ch world- known figures as Modjeska, Booth, Barrett and McCullough. There was an era of extravagant , living and extravagant spending, for the citizens of Virginia City believed that the wealth of the Qomstock Lode was inexhaustible. They were • confirmed In that belief by the repeated discoveries of ‘‘bonanzas,” great pock ets of rich ore. 16 In number, the last and great est of which provides the title for the latest Glasscock book—“The Big Bonanza.” It was dis covered..In the Consolidated Virginia In 1873. a mighty treasure, vault containing-the greatest mass of precious ore ever uncovered In a single spot From it was taken more than $100,000,000 worth of gold and silver during the six years that the Big Ronanza lasted. No wonder there was a wild orgy of speculation In mining stocks, but like all such orgies it canie to an end at last. By 1879 the treasure chest of the Big Bonanza had been cleaned out There had been a panic In San Francisco where nine out of fen people had Invested In Cpmstock securities and thous ands who were rich one. week were poor the next Stock that had been selling‘for $800 a share dropped to SI .25 and thousands of specu lators were ruined. In the years that followed Virginia City’s fortunes steadily waned. Occasionally there have been flare-ups of hope that the “ghost town” which it bad becbipe might be resuscitated but few of these bopes.'ever materialized to any ex tent. Under the “New Deal” It may have a re turn'to a measure of prosperity but it will prob ably never agalmsee a return to those dazzling days of three-quarters of a century ago when the discovery of the. Comstock Lode made min ing history for. all time to come. g by Western Newspaper Union. Westerners Not Wanted in Land of NepaL After ten years’ wandering In .un traveled regions, of the Orient, I came at last to NepaL that country of which Perceval. Landon wrote: “Of all the closed lands of . this world —closed by the deliberate will and policy of those who live in them; closed whether from piety, super stition, jealousy, or perhaps above all from mistrust of the European— Nepal is the only survivor.” Only 100 or so Englishmen and perhaps ten other Europeans have known the secret valley of Katumn- du Emd Nepal’s capital, “the sacred city of Katmandu." Nepal’s inac cessibility is proverbial. Rarely has an exception been made to the rule agEiinst the admission of foreigners; The self-importance and self-r-’ffi- clency of Katmandu have not been altered by time Cr the proximity of conquering Europeans. The Nepa lese, far from feeling inferior to Eu ropeans, rather look down on them, as I had occasion to learn, Constance Handley writes, in Asia Magazine. One morning when we were riding in Katmandu we were literally swept into the gutter to permit a Nepalese EUdstocrat to pass. He was escorted by one of the most fantastic entour ages I have ever seen. First came a man galloping on a small un groomed, wild-maned pony and blowing with might and main upon a conch. He was followed by a cav alcade, in the center of which was a closed Rolls Royce, surrounded by a dozen or more huge men well over six feet, in quaint uniforms, on tiny hill ponies. They looked ridiculous with their feet brushing the ground. - Only the urgently whispered In junctions of my companion kept me from laughing as they swept by. I was warned of the possible dire results of a misplaced smile. In a country that has always abhorred even the sight of a' white face! Certainly western women seem an intrusion in this valley of lovely women. The women of Nepal are pale alabaster in color, with chis eled features and perfectly shaped mouths, small teeth like pearls, large brown eves and lashes that would make our. brightest film stars en vious. Their costume consists of a bodice and full swinging skirts or trousers. Handsome carved anklets and rings adorn thtir little feet From their waving hair hang longi bright veils, fastened with orna ments. . 7 , About Ourselves • Society is. like a large piece of frozen water; and skating well: is the great art of soclEil life.—Landon. Hungarians Noted for Skill in Horsemanship Hungarians are called, on account of traditions of a thousand years, a nation of horsemen. The Hungarians of old were vastly superior In horse manship to the peoples of central Europe, says the Washington Post, and this made it easy for them to sweep away obstacles and achieve military purposes; Hungarians of a thousand years ago who settled down In the Danube valley were one with their horse. They hunted, shot the arrow, \ threw the javelin, from horseback, and excelled in trick rid ing, their favorite amusement, as well as fiat and obstacle races, so old manuscripts tell us. . Sports centered round the horse. Arpad, the prince under whom Hun garians settled down in that part of the world, founded a stud on an is-" land in the Danube and entrusted It to the care of one of his men of the name’ of Csepel.

I. W. Pendleton. Balance the budget with wine and with beer? Whoever heard of nonsense so sheer? But, to balance the budget none dared to refuse So they balanced the staggering budget with booze. Balance the budget? Why. yes, to be sure! But wbv with the nickels and dimes of the poor. The weak and unfortunate, both young and the old, W h ile shielding rich brewers’ and distilling men’s choice gold? Balance the budget? Whose bud get, pray tell? •;The beer baron’s budget? Then they’ve done it well. But,they’ve budgets in millions ' homes: ■For milk, substituted just beer, . suds and foams. Yes, balance the budget and balance it well! Not by sending its balancers straight down to hell. W’oe to the man or the nation that thrives On ruin and wreckage of man’s homes and their lives. Balance the budget! Think ye that they can With that which always unba lances man? Nay, nay, such a budget like Babel must fall In ruins-on builders, budget, and all . Balance the budget? Yes, balance ■ • it right, . - And not by surrender to wrong in tbe'fight; Don’t unbalance everything sacred and pure A tottering, budget to bolster and cure. Ingersoll Knew. Robert Ingersoll, the notorious .in- Mel who fought Christianity, wrote the following scathing indictment of liquor: "I believe to a certain degree with the District Attorney in this case, who has said that every man who makes whisky is demoralized I be lieve to a certain degree it demoral izes those who make it, those who sell it, and those who drink it. I believe from the time it issues from the coiled and poisonous worm of the distillery until it empties into the hell of crime, dishonor and death that >t demoralizes everybody that touches it. Ido not believe anybody Can contemplate the snbject without becoming prejudiced against this liquid crime. "AU we have to do, eehtieffigfl, Is to think of the wrecks upon eithef bank of the stream of death-=of the iuicideS, of the insanity, of the fiovertv, of the ignorance, of the distress, of the. children tugging at the faded dresses of weeping and despairing wives, asking for bread; of the men of genius it has wrecked*] the millions struggling with imagin ary serpents produced by this devil ish thiag. And when you think of the jails, of. the almshouses, of the asylums, of the prisons, of the scaf folds upou either bank. I do not won der-. that every thoughtful man is prejudiced against the damned stuff called alcohol: (Ingersoll’s Works, Dresden edition, vol. X, p, 7 ) After hearing that some lady friends had complimented her hus band, Anjenette says any woman can have him this winter if she wants him. Drivers of automobiles shoud be very careful about keeping their windshields clean. ' Poor vision can be the cause of a serious accident. NOTICE!

NUMBER 28 t seems hard to please anybody iese days. Even the fellows who ev r iDg larSer salaries than er before and doing less work, .?te ®ad about -it; ^ b License Tag Price In censes Newspapers. Newspapers from one end of the state to the other are “sitting on” the governor on account of the ex orbitant prices of license tags and the further fact that the governor will not grant a few days respite in the matter of collecting for same. The Asheville Times sums it up this way: “ Why would it be a good idea for the Governor to call the Legis lature into special session and ask for revivai of laws imprisoning for debtj It was. customary in the early days of this country; it would be a helpful and logical sunplement to the state’s program at this time in collecting these excessive regis tration fees.” One newspaper is agitating set ting the piice of tags at one dollar each, and avers that the state would more than get enough extra revenue from the heavily taxed gasoline to offset this difference in the price of tags, and at the same time allow the average man to drive his car, which in most cases is a necessity— not merely for plearure. Sevetal other papers of the state are asking the people why it is that they have not sent men to the leg islature in the past who would have lookedintosucb matters, and cal ling upon the voters to take this Into consideration when Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith anuounce this spring for the legislature.—Transylvania Times. ■ Dake DogrSfcarl- Trouble. Miss Doris Duke, who recently came into possession of the many millions-left by her father, J. B. Duke, is suffering the usual annoy ances that wealth brings. A wo man who alleges that she was at tacked by dogs belonging to Miss Duke and so seriously injured that she will be crippled permanatelv, is asking the courts to assess damages against the heiress to the amount of $25,000 The husband of the woman asks $5 000 for the loss of the services ol h>s wife. Tne wo man alleges that she was walking on the highway when she was at tacked by the Duke dogs, l'he lawyers for the defendant answer that the woman was trespassing on the Duke grounds and provoked the dogs; that ordinarily thev are peace ful animals and the defennant ex ercises due diligence in their re straint. The jury will say how it is and if the jury believes that the rich should pay the plaintiff will get damages, the contributory neg ligence of the plaintiff, if any, not weighing heavily if there is feeling that millionaires may have too many dogs and allow them too much libetty —Ex. He Walks With Death. The evidence indicates that the motor vehicle that stuck and killed Robert Mooie. blind, in the vicinity of Scott’s Sunday night was on the wrong side of the road. Whether or not that could be established it is a fact that the driver of the ve hide went his way and did notb ing for his victim. The hit and run driver is in the most despi cable class of highway offenders. Even if he could be established that he is not at fault when he runs away. Just for that he deserves a State prison sentence; and if it ap pear that he is at fault, as his ruu-, ning away would indicate the sen tence for the fault should be doubled for the running.—States ville Daily ._______ Be the next to.prevent an injury not the next to get injured. ■ The only moonshine fit to use was made by Nature. Another Waste Of Th| People’s Money, The Constitution of the '.Jnite^ States provides that a census of the people shall be taken every tc a years. In 1920 when Woodfbvy Wilson was President a census. Wat taken and all the offices were filled by the Democrats. In 1930 whet) Hoover was President another cehf sus was taken and raarav DetroV crats as well as Repuolicans were given jobs in helping to take the census. We are imformed that eveft the head of the census depart ment in Washington was a- Demo/ crat although there was a RepublL can administration in power. Thi taking of another census according to law is not due until 1940 blit the law has been cast to the wibd&•• jiby the present extravagant, waste,; fnl. administration of Franklin D| Roosevelt and another census, 'juab four years after one has been taken;- has been ordered and “deserving’} Democrats hungry for political tpijp are being appointed in every cohin?; ty to take this census.

I am so glad of the stand North Carolim took on the 18th Amendment. ] have always thought she had the best people in the United States, and now I know I am right. If ever I get able again I am coming back to North Carolina to live ,We have lost all our money in the last three years, and the awful gulf storm in September took almost everything we had. I had the fin est citrus orchard in this part of the valley and it was loaded with fine fruit. It was all destroyed, and it will be years before my trees will be back where they were. The old settlers say that this was the worst storm in the history of the Valley. Our house stood through it all, but all around us was de struction. For 27 hours we stood on our feet and watched the storm. The wind blew from 75 to too miles per hour, and 22 inches of rain fell during this time.

Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, state re lief and CWA administrator an nounces that eight car loads, 160,• 0 0 0 pounds of butter will be dis tributed to needy families in the state this week. It is not stated when jelly and pound cake will be distributed, but we suppose it is oh the road. Already 75,000 dozen eggs have been distributed and this was not an egg a piece to the Tar Heel population. Bring on more eggs, more butter and perhaps the chicken and turkey will come later.

Would Mr. Bowie have the people of North Carolina believe that only 703 good Demo crats are still left in Ashe? If Ashe is not different from other North Carolina counties, we are certain , a check would reveal that a large proportion of the more than 4 000 citizens who voted a gainst repeal were as good Demo crats as live in Ashe county.' We are also confident that a great many of the 700 who voted for repeal were Republicans. As for the bootleggers, it is absurd to suggest that they voted en masse for pro hibition.—Winston Journal.

X . Sinbe onr editorial yesterday de ploring the effort of the wets to flood dry states with liquor advertising through the cooperation of the Fed eral Givernmen1-. our Washington correspondent informs us that the Reed Amendment to the postal law 'orbidding such advertising has heen -epealed. The amendment was nul- ified by the liquor bill which was "ushed through Congress soon after it canvened this year and signed by the President last week. This action oh the part of Congress iS in direct violation of the solemn hedge made to the dry states by the champions of repeal in the last cam paign. It also violates the spirit, if lot the letter, of the Twenty-first Amendment to the Constitution, which is supposed to guarantee pro tection of dry states against the legalized liquor traffic. With the Reed Amendment out of the Federal statutes, the bars are down for the liquor manufacturers and dealers and the press of the wet states to stimulate an appetite for liquor in any part of the United States through advertising that is f >rbidden by State law in North Carolina. This is not protection for dry states It is the most brazen and flagrant defiance of the expressed will of the people in those states that have voted to outlaw the traffic in intoxicating liquors. By repealing the Reel A- mendment to the postal law. Con gress co-operated most effectively with the legalized liquor traffic in its effort to breakdown the .prohibition policy , of every dry -state in this country. ■(/.. It is- amazing that the. North Ca rolina delegation im-C (tigress, after iomnron^ wealth on November 7, lasti did not fight repeal df this amendment with all the;power at their command. It it impossible, in fact, to see how our delegatioh could consider themselves really representing their, constitu ents without making such a fight.— Winston Journal. Mistaken Identity. , Engene Ashcraft, in the Monroe Enquirer, tells the story of a city man down in Mississippi, who was appointed appraiser for a federal farm loan organizatiod. What he didn’t know about farms and rural life, would fill-two-three books, but this, didn’t phase-him.- The salary was .sufficiently-alluring for him to smokescreen his incompetence and flirt with efficiency. - Bis first inspection ■: trip brought him iii contact with a billygoat the which-he could-not exactly place. He tried hard to recall the de scription of farm animals printed in the-agricuiture books but the goat simply didn’t fit in. ^Wishing to avoid the display of ignorance to his superior, , he tele phoned a friend, giving a descrip tion of the animal qnd asking for its classification/ “He has large, sad eyes, a strangely long beard, rough and unkempt hair and his be hind is bare" the. appraiser explain ed. “Hell man. that’s -not an animal," his friend Shouted back, "‘■'that's the farmer who applied for the loan.” Statesville.

Hundreds of people have been given jobs with the CWA who didn’t need them, while hundreds of others who needed jobs didn’t get them. Investigations have been started in many count’es and states, and it is hoped that this evil will be corrected. The Charlotte Observer says that GovernorEhringhaus has won over the East and can get most anything he wants. Isn’t this the same gentleman that went over North Carolina only a little more than a year ago and told the people that he wouldn’t stand for a sales tax and then turned around and called the Senate and House in extraordi nary session and told them that they must put a sales tax on the people. Maybe the folks in East- ern Carolina are for Mr. Ehringhaus but just ask the democrats in this neck of the woods what they think of the said gentleman, and it won't take them long to tell you.

JameB William Zacbary. 59, general manager of the Erwin Cotton Mill, at Coo- leemee for eighteen years, died at his home there Wednesday evening at six o'clock, following an illness of about four months. He was a native of Alamance county. He leaves his widow, five sons and six daughters: Lawrence Zachary, of States ville. Otis, of Erwin, Thomas, Cooleemee; J. W. Jr.. of New York, William, of Coo leemee; Mrs. Lillian Jankosky, Cooleemee; Mrs. Sarah Bailey, of Erwin, Mrs. Nellie , Thompson, Miss Mary Zscharv and Lettie Margaret and Helen Zachary, all of Coo leemee.. The deceased went to work for the Er win Cotton Mill Company in 1895. and had been with them since. He came to Cooleemee in 1903, and had been mana ger of the mill since 1916. He was presi dent of the Bank of Cooleemee, a director of the J. N. Ledford Company store and Cooleemee Drug Company, secretary of the Cooleemee school board and steward in the Cooleemee Methodist chorcb. Funeral services were held at the Me thodist church at Cooleemee Friday morn ing at 11 o’clock, and burial followed at Burlington at 2:30 in the afternoon. The mill and the schools were closed on the day of the funeral. In the death of Mr. Zachary the county loses one of its best beloved citizens. He will be missed, not only in his home and office, but in the church, the school, the business world, and by the mill workers, the farmers, the men in all walks of life. Cooleemee will not be the same without Mr. Zachary. This humble scribe will miss his hearty hand clasp and cheerful greeting. We have known and loved this good man for nearly a quarter of a cen tury. We feel that he has just crossed over the river to resl under the shade of the trees. Still Wondering. Up to the time we rush to press we are still wistfully waiting and wondering bow it happens that the Roosevelt administration can blithe ly boost the National Debt to srouDd 32 billion dollars without blinking an eye; can find around ten billions to spend for tree planting, sapling- setters, gangsters, loafers, political paliavers and any other sort of job less Jayhawkers, but when the shot to shreds over seas soldiers asked how about poneving up the honest small amount of debt- due them for their cotnptenece and bonus bill, the Washington money jinglers couldn’t discover a penny in hand for them —Yellow Jacket. The raspberry project for the foothill counties has succeeded and 350 acres of the plants will be set out this fall.

Various experiments are being tried in an effort to get independent action for an auto mobile’s front wheels. AU of which is simply another tribute to the soundness of Ford engineering and the Ford V- 8 for 1934. When you drive this car you get free action not only for the front wheels—hut fo r a ll 4 wheels. -Ford transverse^ cantilever springs provide individual suspension for both front and rear axles,. In the new Ford these springs have been made more flexible. This type of construction is not experimental and has the advantage of comfprt plu s the proved safety o f a fro n t axle. This new Ford combines V-8 power with gas oline economy- 2 0 miles to the gallon at a speed of 45 miles per hour, in exhaustive road runs. It will do 80 miles an hour without diffi culty. At 50 or 60 miles per hour it is actually running a t ease! This reserve power means acceleration un equalled by practically any other make of American automobile, regardless of cost.

The lacy train of her negligee swished after her like an angry little snake. “Look- here, I can see all your charms Quite well when you're sitting quietly. You don’t have to display them ilke that” “Pd like to smash something over your head!” Hocky got out of his chair and faced her. He put hts hand3 on her shoul ders. “You're a cutie all right, aren’t you?” “Stop it” The yellow and lavender draperies of her gown'were being crashed In his fingers. ‘Tm only a susceptible male, after all, you know.” An electric current swept her, leav ing her helpless and more angry than ever. . “Let go of me!” “Nice perfume you use!” . “I don’t use perfume.” “What is that lovely smell?” “I don’t know. Get away from me. Talcum powder, I imagine. Oh! This Is too awful.” What a fool she was. being I She was confused, avoiding his eye. He dropped his hands. “Oh well, I thought you might kiss- your husband goodnight” She looked at him hopefully. “Goodnight?” “les, I think the family have gone to bed by now, and I can sneak Into another room.” -a An absurd flush of gratitude swept stoop to flick 4 bit of ashes that Kifl dropped to the coverlet Her foot un der the guilts drew sharply aWay. ' Rocky, still bending, looked up at this movement “So. timid.” He shoot his head. “Doris pulled a subtle one on me this tinie. For a minute I thought you actually were afraid of me.” Doris eyed him disgustedly as he sauntered across Qje room. v “Afraid of you? Certainly not—but If you were to get out, I might get up,” she said. : “Why, we’re going to have a cozy little breakfast here together.". He picked up a pretty, slipper and began slapping it in his' palms. “I wouldn’t want to be separated from my wife at breakfast Besides Mother's having it sent up for us. It seems that you’re in too delicate a, con dition—" : Doris scowled but she felt her cheeks growing red. “I'm feeling quite well.” “Yes, Mother’s been telling me that at such a time—’’' he discarded the slipper—“what a fluent liar, you turned out to be.” Doris felt hot all over. ' I didn't make up that story. You did:” “No, Doris did. Fooled me. At least I think so now.” “You mean the real Doris told you she was going to have a baby?” ' He nodded. “And she’s somewhere now having It? And you don’t even care enough about her to. look It up. You ought to be with her this minute instead of sit ting here talking to me.” He smiled lazily. “But Tm so crazy about you.” Doris bit her lip angrily. He rose, “Here’s breakfast I’ll help you, Estelle.” He took the table from the maid arid placed It at Doris’ bed. “I’d like to get up and get my bath before breakfast,” said Doris. He answered with mock tenderness, one eye on Estelle. “Shall I help you, I M I 1 1 1 * I K l y-W e , V She Snatched Her Lavender Kimono Lying Over the Foot of the Bett. She Oot Into It, Hardly Taking Her Eyes From Rooky’s Face. her. He was being nice. And he bad meant to be all along. She had only made an idiot out of herself with all her silly imaginings. She saw this to her annoyance In his quiet smile as he left CHAPTER V Doris had a heavy sense of guilt. Now that she had found that she did not belong there, where should she go? She thought confusedly of Bocky— Rocky as he was. Rocky as she had imagined him—-of Mrs. Du Val and her kindness of the . past few weeks, of Mrs. Du Val when she learned the truth. At last she slept When she woke, the sun was shining. The birds were singing. The paper flowers ^on the walls were gay and friendly. Rocky’s picture was still ar ranged so that she could see it from her bed. “He’s too wonderful,” she thought “Handsomer than the pic ture, and more desirable—but—he despises me.” Doris meditated. The situation be tween Rocky and his wife seemed very odd. Why was it that he did not want to expose his false position to his fam ily at once? Why was he not more worried about the whereabouts of the real Doris? She opened her eyes. Rocky stood at the foot of the bed. How long had he been there? She went hot aU over. “Well?” “My sweet, beautiful wife!” She pulled the comforter up to ber- chln. She tried'to glare boldly back at him but the color flew to her cheeks. “I don’t think that's'very funhy.” “Funny? Gosh, It’s no Joke. Tve Just been with Mother and listened for one solid hour to the epic entitled: Lucky Rocky’s Beautiful Wife. My sweet beautiful wife.” He sighed, smiled with patient disillusionment “The old pose of wpunded virtue, en? I suppose you’re not accustomed to having gentlemen callers In yonr boudoir? - • - “No, Fm not” .“But a husband Is different! Doris was a bit startled by his con fident manner. She watched him Beautiful?” His hand touched the cov erlet. Doris, could hardly speak for a min ute. Then she raised herself sudden ly. The comforter fell from the lace bodice of her gown. “You’re behaving like a boy of sir.” She'snatched her lavender kimono lying over the fool of the bed. She got Into it, hardly tak ing her eyes from Rocky’s face. The maid left the room as she faced him, “If you’re embarrassed,” he began grinning— 'Tm not embarrassed.” She sur vej jd him calmly. His grin becamt lifeless, awkward. He reddened. “Isn’t this all rather unnecessary?” she asked him. ^ ' He spoke slowly, the awkwardness disappearing. “I was Just thinking it would have been better I guess if Doris hadn’t sent me one as pretty as you I had all sorts of thoughts looking at you'a minute ago.” She smiled gently. Her hand rested where the robe lapped over at her throat The other hand held the soft folds together on one hip. She half wanted to add “But you know Doris didn’t send me to you.” But there was something vaguely pathetic Jibout him now. Poor fellow! He didn’t know why she was here any more, than she did herself. “You know I could almost believe whatever you might happen to tell me about yourself right now.” Hi3 Upa moved slowly into , a cynical expres sion. “You women I” Doris escaped Into the bathroom, locked the door. - when she came out she found the breakfast table heavy w ith’coffee, oatmeal, grapefruit pancakes, bacon and sausages.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Putting First Things) First. Having set forth in the previous chapter the standards of the kingdom, Christ the king now exhibits the un derlying principles which control the subjects of the kingdom. ; I. As to Giving (vv.1-4). Doing alms before men is not con demned as that - would contradict; Matthew 5:16, but the doing of them before men to be seen of them. To seek publicity in doing our alms is to miss the reward of the heavenly Father. li. a » to Praying (w . 5-15). The spirit of self-advertisement fre quently displays itself even in the holy exercise of pjayer. In order to cor rect this evil tendency he sets forth . I. False prayer (vv. 5,7). This con sists in a. Praying to be seen and heard of men (v. 5). Many of the prayers ut tered In public are false, for the thing uppermost in the mind of the one pray ing is What the pe6ple think rather than what God thinks. b. Using; vain repetitions (v. 7). This does not mean that we' should ask but once for a given thing. We have examples of both Christ and Paul praying three times for the same thing (Matt. 26 : 39-46; H Cor. 12:7, 8). It means rather the using of meaningless repetitions. 2. True prayer (y. 6). Since real prayer is a transaction of the soul with God, there should be a real de sire. for fellowship with him which moves one to meet him In the secret place. 3. The model, prayer (w. 9-15). This involves a. Right relationship—“Our Fa ther” (v. 9). Before one can pray so as. 'to be heard he must, through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, become a child of God. •tor, The. right Bttitude-stHaIlowed SSiliy name” (vv. 9, 10). While' God is-pur. heavenly Father he is more than, that. ' He is the Almighty. We should go ; before him then with reverent adoration. C.; A right spirit—“Give us this day our daily bread,” “Forgive us our sins,” "Lead us not into temptation” (w.- 11-13). Those who would pray effectively must have such faith as would trust him for daily bread, and such; love as would forgive those sin ning against them, and such hatred of evil as to desire not to be led into temptation. III. As to Fasting (vv. 16-18). The true reason for fasting is to be found in the opportunity It gives for a dear vision of God. IV.' As to Earthly Riches (vv. 19-24). The Lord knew the temptations which would befall his children in ther i pilgrimage and the anxiety to which they would lead; therefore he set forth the proper attitude toward earthly possessions, 1. " The nature of .earthly riches (vv.. 19-21). a. ' .They are uncertain (w 19, 20). Eartfiiy treasures corrode, and may be taken from us. b. They are seductive (v. 21). Christ ■railed' riches deceitful (Matt 13:22). It is not wrong to possess earthly treasures, but when earthly treasures possess us they become a snare un co US^ 2. The effect of earthly riches (w., 2Z-2i)i ' a. They blunt the moral and spirit ual perceptions (vv. 22,23). Those who become enamored with the things >>f the world soon' become irresponsive to spiritual things. b. They render service null and void (v. 24). As soon as one’s heart is stolen ,by riches, he is unfitted for spiritual service. V. As to Faith In the Heavenly Father (vv. 25-34). 1. Be not anxious about food and dqthing (vv. -25-32). To be filled with anxiety concerning food and clothing a. Shows distrust of God (r. 30). . b. It is useless (v. 31). Anxiety brings us absolutely nothing. e. It is heathenish (v. 32). Those who know God aa the loving Father will be free from anxious care. 2, Be sincerely anxious to seek the kingdom of God .and serve him (w. 83, S4)._ . This means that world af- fajrs should be-subordinated to spir itual affair*,. Friendship No .matter how prominent or how numerous the advocates of error may be, that is no reason why you should espouse it Personal friendship is one thing, friendship for error is quite an other thing; I .

Bveo the best- behaved convict is rewarded by being made ,a trusty; frequently- his stripes are removed, and he Is sent downtown by the warden on errands, where he may experience the Joy oI mingling again with respectable peo ple; again see sunlight, women and children, and avoid, for a time the fetid air of the prison Qie worse be haved prisoners endure. So far as I know there has been no greater exhibition of bad conduct than that displayed lit Russia during the past dozen years, but even there the better behaved men are j rewarded. The worse behaved receive only a dollar s day, while the best behaved receive up to thirty ,dollars a day. If specially efficient; . This spread of 1-30 between the well and ill-behaved Is admitted to be Justice even In Russia. Their main complaint against us Is that tbelr dol lar a day men get only thirty cents here, wliile their thirty dollar a day men get thirty thousand dollars a day In the United States, In addition to enjoying the privilege of beating np the thirty-cent men to amuse their drunken, revels. Still, even the. Russians do not dis pute the principle that a good man is entitled to more than a bad one; they only dispute the greater American re wards for decency and steadiness.* * • I call attention to the history of Ivar Eruger again. So long as he was an honest Industrious, efficient and polite man, he had no trouble making a good living, or attracting the helpful respect and friendship of those with whom he associated. Indeed, while so ordering his life, he. became noted not only In his own country, but abroad. For years the policy of hon esty for Its own sake, industry for Its own sake, combined with efficiency and politeness, not only earned Ivar Kruger a good living, but made him well-to-do; even rich. It earned him the respect and confidence of the best people everywhere. And the distinc tion he enjoyed enabled him to be a useful man; In his various well-man aged organizations, he gave employ ment and good training to thousands. Lt was only when be became dis honest that his troubles began. I do not know liow It happens when any.- maii getting along well. In tie' practice of a successful- life, throws It all away In becoming a drunkard, wanton or thief, but such a thing hap pened to Ivar Kruger. Be left a record as a great scoun drel when be might have easier left a record as an honest successful and useful man. .* • • Another man called a philosopher has been found. He is eighty yeara old, very poor, and lives In the un saved part of a big town. One day a citizen called on him, and asked: “Have yon any friends?” “Did you ever know a poor man to have friends?” was his repiy; "no; I have only acquaintances.” The visitor, discovered that the phil osopher was quite comfortable, and that the owner of the house in which he lived charged'hi.m no rent; bad, In fact, spent some money In making it more to the liking of his tenant The candidate for the laurels of a philosopher also confessed that young men working In a filling station near by had been good to him for months; had regularly supplied him with food, fuel, clothing, newspapers. Another man had given him a stove; others had given him money. Once when the philosopher was ill; a doctor called, and made no charge. This man, I fear, will not finally qualify as a philosopher. His state ment that he has no friends;.that no poor man has, is not (only untrue, but ungrateful. And no true philosopher tells falsehoods, or Is ungrateful. The man's own story shows be has friends, and that this Is a friendly world; that everywhere .acquaintances are easily made, and acquaintances easily devel oped Into friends by behaving reason ably well. \ * *In a few cases I have had In fnll' measure all the joy -there is to be ex tracted from compliments. I have had them from an occasional woman, as well as from an occasional man; but they have neyer turned my head. Thank God, I have been able to realize when compliments become absurd. / My favorite vice at table Is1 turkey gravy, with the giblets, and some of the breast cut up .In it but I am able to realize my capacity when so tempt ed!

MENDIETA IS MADE PRESIDENT OF CUBANewsReviewofGurrent Events the World Over President Asks for Nationalization of -Gold Supply Not Yet Ready to Fix Exact Value of Dollar—Carlos Mendieta Is Given Cuban Presidency. * > By EDW ARD W. PICK A RD President Roosevelt PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT sent to congress his long-awaited message on monetary matters, and it should be in a measure reassuring to business and finance. He asked that the gold supply of the country be na tionalized and that his powers be redefined to enable periodic reval uation of the dollar within' a range of 50 to 60 per cent of the present gold content. He already had the power to devalue the dollar down to 50. per cent, but he does not-do so yet, saying that “because of world uncertainties, I do not ’ believe It desirable In the public interest that an exact value be now fixed.” He added that careful study had led Idm to the conclusion that any revaluation at more than 60 per cent would not be in the public Interest. The President asked full power to take over the last outstanding supplies of gold In the country, much of which belongs to the federal reserve banks. The legislation he requested, he ex plained, “places the right, title and ownership of our gold reserves In the government itself; It makes clear the government’s ownership of any added dollar value of the country's stock of gold which would result from any de crease of the gold content of the dollar which may be made in the public, in terest” The profit that may result from cut ting the gold content the President proposed should be used to set up a two-billion-dollar fund for purchases and sales of gold, foreign exchange and government securities. No further recommendations concern ing silver were made in the message, the President saying be believed , “we should gain more knowledge of the results of the London agreement and of'our other monetary measures.” In talking with the correspondents, Mr. Itoosevelt explained once more that the objective of his monetary pro gram is to bring the purchasing power of the dollar back to the level at which the average debts of the country were incurred, so that these debts may be paid off with a dollar equal In value to that at which the debt was incurred. He made It clear that his program does not call for a resort to green back currency. Immediately after the reading of the President’s message. Senator Duncan TJ. Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the senate banking and currency com mittee, Introduced the administration’s bill to effect the monetary changes proposed. He called his committee to gether the next day to consider it, and Secretary Morgenthau was the first to be nenrd In argument for the legis lation asked.' h . Only two-Democratic senators came out In the open promptly in opposition to the President’s program. Carter Glass of Virginia and Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma. Both declared that the appropriation of the reserve banks’ gold was unlawful and Immoral. Most of the Republicans were cautious in their expressions of opinion. However, Attorney General Homer Cummings rendered to the senate banking and currency committee a formal opinion upholding that section of the proposed bill. "The monetary gold stock {of the federal reserve system) may be taken by the government-In the . exercise of Its .right of eminent domain,” the at torney general's opinion declared. “Such power,” he went on. "extends to every form of property required for public use.” . Gov. Eugene Black of the reserve hoard was heard by the committee In closed session and Senator Fletcher said Black was unchanged in his op position to the seizure of the federal reserve gold and the loss of the profit which would accrne from the devalu ation of the dollar. Senator McAdoo of California was veradousl.v reported as sharing the views of Senators Glass and Gore, but Inter sought to silence the rumor, as serting that' he had not yet made up his mind. ««\XTHO Is president of Cuba this VV morning?” asks the man In the street, and there Is reason for his • un certainty. At this writing the bead of the Island republic is fjs Col. Carlos Mendleta, conservative leader of the Nationalists and presumably a cc e p t- able to - the -adminis tration In Washington. Ramo.n Gran Ban Martin, unable- to hold on any. longer, resigned and some of the factions united In k Jf .-choosing as his sue- Ti". . . .. , cesRor the youthful PaHps Hevla. - Carlos Hevia, secretary of agriculture In, Grau!$, cabinet and a graduate-of Annapolis Nnvnl academy. Hevia ac tually; was sworn In before the'Su preme eouit. but be tasted.onIy"one day. Then -Col. Fulgendo Batista, .powerful commander of the army; took ; . . command of. the situation... There-was Dr. Ludwig ■ Mueller a loud demand that he resign his mil itary post; a strike to force this was started by Antonio Gulteras. late sec retary of war and navy, and Hevia or dered that Fulgencio get out But the army leader promptly brought 3,000 of bis troops from Santa Clara province to reinforce the 5,000 at Camp Columbia, on the outskirts of Havana, and compelled Hevla to re sign.- He then declared that. Mendieta was the only man capable of contin uing the junta’s revolutionary program without the extreme measures that had prevented recognition - by the United States; that, he, Batista, rec ognized the costly mistake the junta had made In installing Grau and would now rectify IL He ordered govern ment employees to remain at work on pain of losing their jobs, but the strike went into effect far enough to tie up Havana’s power, tight, gas and trans portation systems. Batista ordered the arrest of Guiteras, whom • he held re sponsible for this.. A bomb exploded near Mendieta’s residence but no one was injured. . Mendieta was assured the support of the Nationalists he leads, the polit ical societies ABC and OOItR and the newer revolutionary organizations. Moreover, he had' performed the high ly difficult feat Of reuniting the army and the navy. They had been split apart previously' over the breach be tween Guiteras and Batista. GERMANY’S great church quarrel goes on unabated and the Evan gelical pastors are still determined that their religion shall not be nazi- fled. ReIchsbishop Ludwig Mueller, who is a confidant of Chancellor Hitler, is sued a decree forbid ding pastors to criti cize the Nazi Protest ant church adminis- tratioiK from the pul pits under pain of dismissal from the church. But the re- : bellious ones; organ ized as the Pastors’ Emergency league, de fied Doctor Mueller and for the sec ond time read to their congregations a manifesto demanding his resignation. It was up to the. councils of the churches to enforce thri reichsblshop’s decree, but several of the councils de clared openly they would not do so. BishopMuellershowed some Inclina tion to.recede from his position, but the militant Nazi German" Christian pastors brought great pressure to bear, telling him they would support him only so long as he stuck by his de crees. The bishop also seeks to annul all church laws passed in 1933 so ha can proclaim new ones'. Reverend Doctor Richter, who is highly considered by President Von Hindenburg, declared In the' Berlin cathedral that “a storm is brewing In Germany—a fight between Christianity and heathendom.” In this contest, however. Hitler appears to have much more influence than the aged presi dent, who Is more and more becoming a figurehead. Re s ig n a t io n s from the Demo- . era tic national committee seem tc be In order and some have already been received. The President let' it be known that he did not approve ot members of that body opening law offices In Washington and apparently trading on their supposed influence with the administration. Robert Jack son announced his resignation as sec retary and committeeman from New. Hampshire,, ahd Frank O. Walker said he had resigned as treasurer in order to devote full time to his work as chair man of the President’s national execu tive council. J. Bruce Kreiner. prac ticing law In the Capital, resumed some weeks ago as member, for Mon tana. Postmaster General Jim Far ley, it was said, wants to-quit as na tional chairman, but Mr. - Roosevelt may not permit this. Arthur Mullen, committeeman from Nebraska and vice chairman of the committee, and. Or man Ewing, member from Utah, both have established law offices In the Capital and it would not be surprising if they resigned from the national com mittee. . S' ENATORS BORAH of Idaho. Nor- ris of Nebraska abd Nye of North Dakota, all independent Republicans whose support, has been, counted on generally by the administration, have started a concerted attack on tbeNRA, charging that its .codes foster monop olies and result In forcing tfie small dealers out of busUiess. Tlielr fight is. not against the !President and hts policies, but against Gen. Hugh John son. NRA administrator, upon whom they place the blame for the fnults they say have developed. PRACTICALLY-- without opposition, a- measure was put through the- house and senate extending the life : of the 'ReeonstructlonHFJnance corpora tion for another year and providing It , with $850,000,000 of new capital There was little debate, and In the house only Louis T.

ITALO BALBO, the bearded Italian alt marshal who commanded ■ the great mass flight from Italy to Chicago and back last summer and thereby became too popular to suit Premier Mussolini, has made his pence with the Duce and lias assumed his new du ties as the governor of Libya In !north Af rica. He crossed the Mediterranean In state on the new cruiser Al berto di Giussano with another cruiser in es cort, and when he landed was received by alt the Italian officials in the colony and a colorful gathering of the native troops. Balbo, who is just thirty-seven years old, replaces Marshal Pietro Badogllo as Libyan governor. While a new line •f activity, it will be a job with an opening for him, for Mussolini Wants to make Africa in time an outlet for Italian emigration.Balho will keep up his Interest In aviation, even though he is just gov ernor of the sandy North African! coast m m Italo Balbo REPUBLICAN members of the house ways and means committee pro posed two important tax reforms. A constitutional amendment authorizing the taxation of federal and state gov ernment bonds was suggested by Rep resentative Allen T. Treadway, with the statement that there are now some $40,000,000,000 of such securities out standing and free from taxation. Representative Isaac Bacharach pro posed the restoration to the federal tax laws of a credit against earned income. His plan, Mr. Bacharach de clared, would lighten materially the tax burden of the small salaried class without seriously cutting into present Income tax revenues. TWO thousand or more persons were killed and 10,000 injured by violent earthquakes that shook all parts of India. The full measure of the dis aster will not be‘ known for some time, but airplane surveys revealed ,that many cities and towns had been vir tually destroyed. In some regloris the devastation was increased by floods resulting from the temblors. Com munication system were shattered and there was great danger, of pestilence and starvation among the survivors. PUERTO RICO has a new governor who may please the islanders better than did Robert H. Gore. He is Gen.

CAMILLE CHAUTEMPS, fighting desperately to save, his French government after the great Bayonne pawnshop scandal, promised the cham ber of deputies ^to clean up that affair, and thereupon was given a vote of con fidence, 360 against 229. The vote came on the government's opposition to the. cre ation of a-parliamen- i • M tary commission to in- Bpgfoflf, w i vestigate' the collapse ^ fj of the Bayonne insti- Sm tHtloni the death of Its founder, Serge (HandsomeAlex) Sta- visky. and the part several deputies have accused high ofiicials of taking in the affair. The premier insisted that such a commission would not get to the bq£tom of the charges. The premier promised to InvesUgate the affair personally and to spare, no names. . During the heated debate he admitted there had been looseness and poor functioning of various-services, but denied the charges of government al and police corruption.. Thg opposi tion deputies were furious arid there were open declarations th&t the coun try faced a dictatorship. Chautemps re plied vigorousiyand made the assertion that a coup had been prepared several days previously to put the government in the hands of a few "energetic” men to act as a directory. Ghin ese Nationalist forces after severe fighting captured Foochow, Ilie headquarters of the rebels In Fu kien province, and it was reported that- negotiations were proceeding to settle the dispute between the -Nanking gov ernment and ,the- leaders of the rebel movement. - There was great disorder In Foochow, for all the officers of the Nineteenth route army except Its com mander, Gen.

Havana, Cuba.—Ramon Grau San Martin resigned the presidency ot Cuba under pressure,, and after long and acrimonious discussion the leaders of the revolutionary junta agreed, that his 'successor should be Carlos Hevia, who had been secretary of agriculture in Grau’s cabinet. Hevia, who is a graduate of Annapolis Naval academy arid only thirty-three years old, was sworn in before the Supreme court In a brief ceremony, but he lasted only one day. Col. Fulgehcio Batista, commander of the army, had consented reluctantly to support Hevia, and when an inten sive campaign to oust the colonel was started and Hevia demanded bis resig nation, he immediately announced that CoL Carlos Mendleta should be president and ordered 3,000 troops from Santa Clara province to rein force the 5,000 at Camp ,Columbia close Io Havana. Xielding to the in evitable, Hevia resigned and Mendieta tok his place. It was reported fliat Jefferson Oaf- fery, personal representative of Presi dent- Roosevelt, promised the dele gates of all revolutionary factions that the United States would recognize the Mendieta regime. Mendieta is a con servative and it was expected he would promptly revoke Grau San Martin’s extreme measures and accord full pro tection to foreign-owned investments in the Island. He and Batista, with the army back of them, appear to be In full control of the republic. Batista said Mendieta was “the only man capable of continuing the junta’s revo lutionary program without the extreme leftist measures which were respon sible for the lack of recognition by the United States.” In a public statement Batista de clared : “I will not tolerate undei any con ditions the Communist and Socialist tactics of the Grau San Martin ad ministration. With the help of my army I shall stop the prevailing an archy, regardless of cost. I now re-’ aiize that the Grau regime brought chaos to Cuba. The junta' made a costly mistakri when it established/the Grau regime. I realize the mistake now and will rectify it.” The federation of labor still de manded the ousting of Batista from the army command and planned a general strike, but the colonel warned all government employees that unless they returned to their work they would lose their jobs and all departments would be taken ov^r by the military. WASHINGTON BRIEFS The Federal Surplus Relief corpora tion announced that 5,800,000 pounds of butter for distribution to needy un employed persons had been purchased. The United States lifted its liquor import bars a little higher to allow the entry of about 1,000,000 more alco holic gallons from; France, Portugal and Ireland within the next month or so. Secretary of the Treasury Morgen- thau has ruled that hereafter lawyers, accountants or other professional ad visers who assist in the preparation o. income-tax returns must sign the return along with the taxpayer. Inventoru*', of all distilled spirits, including alcohol, rectified spirits, wines, and cordials, was ordered, as of January 12. in telegrams to collec tors of internal revenue sent out by Commissioner Guy T.

Washington. — In my ramblings around Washington, I find a consider able number of Re- Republicans publican leaders who / , , . , . L i . seem to be chucklingChuckle about their J0ss of the election to the Democrats in November, 1932. They are, or seem to be, quite well satisfied at having the country pick Franklin D. Roosevelt over Herbert Hoover, and they seem to be equally well satisfied that the President has such a vast majority In the house and senate of congress. Campaign threats and promises just will not down. The victors have to make good or the vanquished In poli tics pick up the failures and call at tention to them. Consequently, as con gress begins to grind away on the big gest federal budget-ever submitted In peace time, the Republicans are find ing juicy morsels to talk about And don't think they are overlooking op portunities to do so! AU of which is by way of leading up to the fact that Candidate Roose velt told the country over and over again In the fall of 1932 that he pro posed to cut government expenses by orie-fourth. He started out like he In tended to do it by compelling the ex tra session of congress to trim every where, but the trimming seemed only to cause fresh sprouts to shoot up, and they constitute items of expendi tures that, when totaled, cause one to wonder why the President ever made his declaration as to reduction of ex penses while he .was a candidate. -Nine morfths of the Roosevelt ad ministration have elapsed; nearly ten months are passed, but official figures are- available for only nine complete months, and so we have to rely on those. And the expenditures keep on going In the general direction of the sky. Assuming that the previous adminis tration should accept responsibility for commitments that were fulfilled In expenditures, made prior to the end of the fiscal year that ended in June, 1933, we can analyze figures from July I to December 31, or a half of one fiscal year over which Mt. Roose velt has had complete control. The total, outgo from the treasury during those six months was $2,621,870,537. In the corresponding six months of the previous year, or from July I to De cember 3i, 1932, the total outgo was $2,659,305,964. These figures are tak en from the treasury’s official state ment of condition and they cannot be wrong. - ■ * . * * I do not know whether Mr. Roose- ■ velt’s reference to the 25 per cent re duction was meant Little Change only to apply to in Oulso what he calls “ordl". nary” expenditures, as distinguished from those payments that are used in the emergency spend ing. If that be the case, the assertion that Hie expenditures would be cut by one-fourth was not understood by a good many people, including myself. Further, If that was the applicaHon, then I can ask only what-has-been ac complished by cutting one item and Increasing another so that the total Is approximately the same over the six months under review? The figures for the six months show v that for ’ “ordinary” governmental costs, the ontgo was $1,466,045,214, whereas for the six months ending De cember SL 1932, the “ordinary” ex penditures were $2,182,172,342. There has been no 25 per cent reduction there; either, although it still is possi ble for accomplishment of that prom ise before the current-fiscal-year ends next June 30. Itihappens that through more than a decade I have been in close contact with the - treasury and government financial questions, generally. Through that period.and for two score years before, there was ho material change In the form in which the treasury pub lished, its fiscal condition statement, a dally ! statement. But Mh Roosevelt brought about a change. He contend ed, and with Just grounds, that the expenditures for relief from the de pression constituted outgo that will not recur' each year. It Is the Presi dent's view,' therefore, that the relief expenditures should be. accounted for separately. He chooses to . call them “capital expenditures.” . So. the change In the treasury’s statement shows the “ordinary” expenditures of the regu lar !.governmental.agencies such as the executive departments, congress, the White House, and permanent bureaus, boards and commissions, and itemizes the “capital expenditures” separately. His budget that was sent to congress when -it- convened was a reflection of this view. There was the “ordinary” budget and. then there were the “cap ital expenditures.” We actually have two - budgets fob our -government, now, yet as I sajd earlier, the expenditures of the government .must be totaled eventually, and .that total must come out of the . taxpayers’ pockets, call them “ordinary,” “capital expendi tures,” "extraordinary” or what have you. The thing that appears to puzzle most of . the observers in Washington is how the adminis- Pazzles traUon is going to Observers succeed In spending . such, a-vast sum as $6^5X486,700 between now -and June 30, the end of the current « as the President announced s^ reir. budget Usts that amount gency expenditure in the rJ e®«- tbe fiscal year, and In6S ^ fgress is asked to aDnro "*• 691,757 for the ^ r iZ r r penses during the twelve 2 ,5^ ginning with next July l T hs bt toe basis in those two Items tw ? given rise to the expression- a ten-billion-dollar congress.”' b The budget lists the “ordinary „ penditures as follows; D e p ia i (toe various executive denarhT $2.899,U6,200; l e g i Z i ^ " ^ and its staff) $17,718,500, and dependent establishments, boards. ^ reaus and commissions, $616,®» The category of independent e s S ments, of course, includes the hP3„ spending veterans’ adminisS which is scheduled to have $5&5in 091 for payment for compensation for the medical and hospital treatnw for veterans in the year beginn^ I July I. The veterans’ administraZ has appropriations available In q. present year, or funds to use mu next June 30, of $602,838,000, s0 there has been a reduction, but ngt f the full 25 per cent My Infomatim is, however, that congress may bmst I that total somewhat. The veteran obviously will obtain more If ™ group can do so, for they always m cold chills to run up and down Hs backs of politicians, especially Ja I ahead of an election. So the veter ans’ funds can reasonably be expected to be greater than the President gg. posed.

And the statue of Lewis Carroll’s White Rabbit unveiled only last month In Wales?” Bat that was only a starter, for, as Mr. Gan nett confessed In his column a day or two later: "Let Hannibal, Mo., boast; a flood of corre spondents deny its claim to the only statue of a Jctional character. Most of them recall only Peter Pan In London’s Kensington Gardens; B. L K. of the department of romance languages at Columbia says there is a statue of D’Artagnan In Auch, France; Carolyn Marx In the World- Telegram mentions the Wonderland White Rab- . bit recently unveiled in Wales; and Christopher Morley thinks he recalls a Little Nell In Phila delphia and Sir Walter Scott’s Rob Roy some where else. But, Chris, they don’t count If they are In private homes; they must be public monu ments to match Hannibal’s Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. . . .

Over In Madrid, Spain, four years ago there was unveiled In the Plaza de Espana near the royal palace a huge memorial consisting of two monuments. One of these monuments, standing 60 feet high, Fus a life-size bronze group of Don Qufxote on a horse and his man, Sancho Panza, on a donkey. Crowning the main column was the figure of Cer- J&ntes, the man who gave to literature, the famous fighter of windmills, and at the base. of the monument was an allegorical representation, the “Fount of the Castillian Tongue.” Although the memorial was primarily to honor the genius * Cervantes, at the same time it preserves ttPerlshably those two famous fictitious charac- ers, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. ®ut to return to America—a little Investigation _ H reveal the fact that the list of statues and , ett0ria'3 to fictitious characters Is not limited the compilation of the New York columnist 6 it remembered that the genius of Daniel ester French, the dean of American sculptors, ' ot only produced, among others of his! great Pieces of work, a bust of Washington Irving, but also made a full figure statue of the Tamous Winkle whlcl1 lrvinS created—Rip Van And Phillippe Hebert’s statue of Evangeline ,an<i Cre is not the only one which recalls 3 immortal heroine.

In stone characters In fiction. has been, man’s practice of doing the same for,-mythical, and legendary figures., Some of the, greatest sculp-, tors of ancient Greece and Roine found their inspiration In the gods and goddesses whom the Greeks.and Romans honored. Similarly, In mod ern days, names In the Bible have been trans lated into. stone. Two of the finest pieces of work by the great French sculptor, Rodin, are his figures of Adam and Eve, and In America we have such statues as William Henry Rine hart’s Rebecca, ’ with her pitcher at , the well, Down In Fountain Inn, S. Cl, is an unusual memorial—not a statue, but a simple white shaft erected to the memory "of Eve because, Robert- Quillen, editor of the Fountain Inn Tribune, and a famous paragrapher, thought that “insufficient honor has been paid to* the mother of the human race.’’ .. • ■ >.t-Do you remember, that, ballad,by John Green- Ieaf Whittier which tells of the shipwrecked New England sailor who was cast away. on .the East Arabian coast and as he tolled across the hot desert sands, hungry and thirsty, cursed the day of his birth and then, suddenly overcome : by a finer emotion, “prayed as" he never befpre -had prayed"? pity me, God! For I die of thirst;’ ■ Take me out of this land accurst; - , ... ” And -H ever 1I reacb my home ,again , Where eartb hasVspringsAnd.the sky has rain, I wlii dig a well'for the .passers-by And none shall suffer .from thirst as L Then, do you remember, how ,the shipwrecked mariner came back safely at last to hts home land and, ’ when morning came he called for bis spade. “I must pay my debt to the Lord,” he said. ■ So be tolled day after day out In the yard,, behind his house until at last “the blessed water,; l,the wine of God,” gushed forth.Perhaps you thought that story WasiJust a. creation of the New England poet’s. But it was= something more then that Although Whittier’s poem made the legend of “The Captain’s Well" familiar to all Americans,-it is a legend that, had a very substantial basis of fact Go to Amesbury, Mass., and see for yourself “The Captain’s Well” there as it has,been re stored by former State Senator and Mrs. James EL Walker of Amesbury and presented-to the Town Improvement society. You can drink from its pure waters, and as you do so you will be reminded not only of the hero of Whittier’s bal lad but of all the adventurous New England sea men- who. once carried the American, flag to all corners of the globe. For the,restored “Cap tain’s Well" is a’ memorial to'; them., The hero; of the.ballad was Valentine Bagleyt a native of Amesbury, wbo.at the age of eight- een, went down to the sea. In ships-late. In the - Eighteenth century; and. the story, of; his adven-. tures can be, found In. an Old book, published: in; Salem. In 1794—“The Journal of the Travels and; Sufferings of Dapler Saunders, a Mariner on Board the Ship Commerce of Boston, Sam’) John son, Commander, Which was. Cast Away- Near Cape Morebet1 on the Coast of Arabia, July 10, 1792.” - Bagley was a carpenter’s mate on the Com-, merce when that ship sailed from the Isle of France on January 27. 1792, bound for-Madras. There’ she exchanged her Boston master, John Leach, .fob a Rhode Islander, Samuel Johnson, and on April 28 set sail for Bombay. However, the new captain, “being, unacquainted with the, coast,” steered too far to the west and . the ship foundered off Cape Morebet July 10. ~ 'The crew, “thirty-four souls.in number, twenty whites, thirteen Lascar sailors and one African' black " took to the boats and for three days made their way along the shore.-Tben they were driven ashore by a storm which drowned three of them. Starting up the coast, the 17 white men, tor tured with thirst hunted everywhere for water. Becoming separated, they wandered about In- small parties and one by one they laid their weakened companions under bushes and left them there to die. , On-Jandron ,they plodded, across the . burning, sands and Bagley, thinking no doubt of thejidamp, fog-swept tOwn of his. nativity, forced his parched throat to utter the promise, to bis God that if ever he got'back to that town he would dig a : well where-all who passed might drink. At last the; castaways fell In with a party of Agib traders, traveling on camels toward MuscaL who took’ tbem along.

During five of the last six years extensive field work has pro duced brilliant results under the di rection of Prof. EUhu Grant, who. heads the department of Biblical lit erature at Haverford. , ' The findings of the fifth expedi tion, which went into the field last spring, are now being; classified. Plans are being, made for a sixth expedition in 1934 ' The Haverford excavations are lo cated at Ain Shems, which Is. In the lower hill country about twenty miles west of Jerusalem, overlooking the Mediterranean. This mound-ruin is the site of ancient Beth shemesh, ■ a city which flourished between 1800 and 600 B. C. The'city lay on impor tant trade routes between Egypt, Palestine and Syria. Professor Grant’s first expedition discovered three Bronze age cemeteries, which yielded one of the largest known treasures of CanaanIte burial depos its. Digging to depths of 20 feet be low the surmounting wheat fields, Doctor • Grant's parties have un earthed four successive levels repre senting distinct epochs In the city’s history. Conquest by invaders, pillaging and destruction by fife are written in the archeologic record. After the ruin of the first city at Aln Shems, walls and roof beams of buildings were pushed. In on the lower floors. The demolished structures were leveled off by the new builders, and another city was erected on the ruins of the old. This process occurred over again, and again, until four, or perhaps five, successive cities had been built, de stroyed and rebuilt Remains of tem ples, palaces, dwellings, shops and industrial properties all. testify to the existence of .Beth Shemesh as a prosperous city of early Palestine. The wealth of personal belongings found, including vases, flasks, bowls, tools, weapons and jewelry, revealed an industrious population which thrived some 3,000 years ago. The relation of Beth Shemesh to the Biblical record of ancient Pales tine is a fascinating study. Nearby was the birthplace of Samson, who may have trod its streets. Shishak of Egypt is believed to have been one. of the destroyers of the city. The principal temple of Beth Shem esh perhaps-was laid In. ruins at the time of. the exile. The tangible result of. these expe ditions has been the formation of a Palestine museum at Haverford col lege containing an abundance of val uable material. Several reports elab orating in detail on the field dlscoT- eries have been published by Doctor Grant ’ S lo w to A c c e p t " G e rm i" The germ theory of disease was al most unbelievable a half-century and more ago. Wliy Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative atives in liquid Hospitals and doctors have alwa' used liquid laxatives. An is fast returning to laxati form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can Ba measured. The action can be controlled. It forms no habit; you need not take a “double dose” a day or . two later. Nbr will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right liquid laxative brings a perfect movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartic may keep you constipated as long as !you keep on using it! And the habitual use of . irritating salts, or of powerful drugs in the highly concentrated form of pills and tablets may prove injurious. A week with a properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr'. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot A few weeks’ time, and your bowels can be “as regular as clockwork.” Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup. Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use.lt makes an ideal family laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child. Mernber N. R. A.

Doea the Yadkin river become the P ee Dee south of Bldvitt Palls or only after it poura across the line into South Carolina? Should the maps which label all the North Caro lina stretches of the river Yadkin be believed, or the state highway com- commission sign which calls the river between Albemarle and Troy, the Pee Dae be accepted? The answer to these questions be come of interest with the revelation that the Pee Dee narrowly missed immortality as the river of the best known of American songs. The story of this lost immortality is told by John Tasker Howard in his new life of Stephen Foster who is almost as forgotten as his songs are remem bered. Itwashe who wrote "Old Folks At Home.” * Massa’s In De Cold Ground,” ‘'Nelly Bly,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” "Old Black Joe,” “Nelly Was a Lady,” and “Oh. Susannah.” Down near Fargo, G sorgia. there is a granite shaft which bears this legend: Erected in Memory of STEPHEN COLLIN5 FO STEK ■ at the S iurce of the Scream which he made Imm-Jrtal ' in Sonc Suwanee River The Suwanee is, of course, the better known Swaoee River. It now develops that the famous river might have been the Pee Dje and the place for the monument not Fargo, Giorgio, but Wilkes county. North Cirolina. Tte song about the river was written by a man in 1851 who had never knew where it began and did not care. Wnat he wanted was a twc syllable river in the south and he had written his original first verse as follows: "WavdownuponthePadeeRiver, Far, far away; Dere’s where _my heart is turning ebber, Dere’s where my brudders play. Soon afterwards on a visit to his brother. Morrison Foster, in Pitts burgh, he asked: “What is a good name of two syllables for a southern river?” Tothe Pee Dee, Morrison added the suppestion of the Yazoo. Then together they went over an atias and found the name Swanee on a littie river in Florida. So Swanee became famous and the Pee Dee flows on in relative obsuri- ty, It has given its.name to a bank and a town but nobody has ever- put jt into a song.—Naws and Observer.

T, GRANT, Commissioner _ Will Congress at its present session substitute & graduated Federal tax on cigarettes for the present tax a t a flat amount regardless of sellingprice? In other words, will Congress give relief from the present inequitable taxation whereby the lowest priced cigarette—the poor man’s smoke— pays the highest rate of tax? It is said that the 10-cent cigarette is the high est-taxed article in America. This question vitally affects the econom ic w elfare of hundreds of thousands of tobacco farmers and tobacco factory workers _in twelve southeastern states which grow cig arette tobacco. I t affects the pocketbooks of more than a million wholesale and small re tail dealers throughout the country. It directly affects the smoking hab its and pocketbooks of the more than twenty million Americans who use cigarettes. Afiects Entire Nation And indirectly it aflects the entire nation in no small degree, because more than $325,000,000.00 in Federal Sovernment income is each year de rived from the tax on cigarettes. All of this raises this question of a tax graduated for the diflerent price dasses of cigarettes to a place in the front rank of economic importance. Now about the answer and what it ^ans. If Congress—reported to be .endly to the idea of a graduated iX—discards the present flat tax of ; cents per package, regardless of sell- ag price, and adopts in its stead a ;raduated tax, the result will please jverybody all the way down the line secause it will contributo consider able stimulation to general recovery, !specially in the twelve cigarette to-. )acco states. If Congress adopts the fair method of taxing now proposed it will help the farmer get a fair price for his to bacco, save consumers hundreds of nillions of dollars each year in their -.moke bill, and at the same time in- 3reaseGovernmentcigarette revenue. Back in ,1917 the Government put a Iat rate tax of 6 cents a package on sigarettes as a war emergency reve- aue measure. For sundry reasons that tax has remained. . TheMagicRise In the boom days of prosperity no body seemed to notice or object to this tax—except perhaps cigarette manufacturers—arid until early in 1933 the sale of cigarettes continued to mount even after the depression 3et in. Then the sale,use and manufacture of cigarettes began to drop rapidly. This was unfortunate for the manu facturer, the dealer, the government revenues, and especially for the to bacco farmer. - About th e middle of 1932 certain' manufacturers began to make a good cigarette priced for sale to the con sumer a t lOrcents for a package oi twenty.’Almost magically the curve of c ig a re tte sales an d m anufacture turned sharply upward. The average American cigarette smoker found, to his possible sur prise, th at the 10-cent cigarette was an excellent cigarette, and its sale rapidly increased. As a result of this mounting sale the price, of all cigarettes formerly re- 000.00 in one year. Government cigar ette revenues were restored. Many thousand cigarette factory workers went back on the j ob and on the pay- roll. , .And additional thousands of to bacco farmers found a better market for their product — both in volume and in dollars—than they had en joyed for a long while. , Bad For Everyone That was all very well for the mo ment, so to speak. Under conditions existing when the 10-cent cigarette was first produced the manufacturer, being content to operate a t a very low profit, was able to bear the unfair, tax of 253 percent on him as against a tax of only 163 percent on higher priced cigarettes. * B ut since th at time expenses have increased and conditions developed; which melt the thin ice in the way of profit on which the 10-cent cigarette: business was being operated. With no; incentive to make this low-priced cig-i arette he cannot continue its manu facture. j If he does quit, the consequences: for farmers, for workers, and for all- others in lesser degree will be bad,: not to say disastrous. Ask Favorable Action The Federal tax on certain other; tobacco products—Cigarsi for ex ample—is graduated according to re tail price. The 5-cent cigar is taxed less than the 10-cent cigar, and the 10-center less than the 25-cent cigar,: and so on. ; A similar form, of taxation for cig arettes, with the rate graduated for diflerent classes according to price— from the 10-cent to the 25-cent-and-up cigarette^-is now urged by. both farm. and labor interests. ; . They declare it is no more than just and equitable, and they point to its economic importance in ..asking ill farmers and workers to demand favor able congressional action on the proposal.
