MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 8. 1936. Will There Be Any One To Take Their Place? Some people .seem to gloat over to the passing of fellow man. es pecially if that man happens to be a crusader or one who has stood in the wav 0 f some questionable methods of the opposition. When Huey Long was murdered in cold blood by a conspirator, great was the rejoicing in the Roosevelt camp especially in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. Had Long lived he would have encompassed the de feat of Senator Pat Harrison, in Mississippi; Senator Joe Robinson, in Arkansas, and he would in all probability, marched up to the White House steps and make it extremely difficult for Franklin D. Roosevelt to be elected for a se cond term. Roosevelt shed a few crocodile tears and sent Mrs Long a message of condolence but did anybody hear of the Chamberlain of the Pope, Boss Jim Farley, expressing any regret over the wanton killing of Long by a member of Farley’s own church? And.why'didn’t Vice President Garner and Speaker Brynes ap point a senatorial committee to at tend the funeral of Long like they do when a Catholic Senator dies? No, all of them were too glad that Long-was mowed down by an as-' sassin’s bullet.. ' } Coming closer home- there. Jjafe been two death tragedies in NGrtTi: Carolina recently in-which the upm-.- mon people have lost out. .ii,. One was the tragic death of 'Dr. S. E. Douglass, member of the Leg islature from Wake, in an automo bile accident a few months ago. Dr. Douglas was a hot spur, a watchdog of the North Carolina treasury and could always be found lined up with the common herd, his death was a calamity. And the most recent death in the state in whtcn the people lost one of its greatest friends and champ ions was the late Editor R. Clark, of Statesville. His writing was for the good of all the people and his ieveral castigations of Captain Charles D. Farmer, the vocative head of the state patrol, were much applauded. Farmers also shed a few crocodile tears wh.n Clark passed and sent a message of sym pathy to the widow but does any one beiieve it was sincere? Had Clark lived, sooner or later be would have forced Farmers out of swivel chair at Raleigh and per haps been instrumental in abolish ing the state patrol which a ma jority of people have now come to realize as a huge joke. Itissa id th a t ‘ God buries his workmen but carries on his work. So far no one has as yet arisen to take thtt place of Huey Long, Dr. Douglass' chair in the state capital is still vacant and the man who couid weild a pen like R. R. Clark has not had time to make himself known. —Union Republican HooverWiIl Not Seek Presidency. Former President Herbert Hoov- jr will intensify his attacks on the New Deal during the coming year, says his former secretary, but not with the idea of gaining public office. Theodore Joslin1 writing in the current issue of "Today” under the heading, “ He Wants Nothing for Himself." denies his former chief is building up a political organization for 1936, ..."“ The blunt truth is” Joslin writes ‘that b e h a s no organization, polui cal, personal or otherwise, today= And it is about the first time in 20 years that he has not.” Keeping aw ayfrom bad compan ions.'however you rate them, is a Thin Gray Line Is Rapidly Fading. The ever present scythe of Old: Father Time cut another wide swath in the thinning ranks, of ■surviving Confederate veterans’ from June to December in North Carolina, and there are 54 fewer names on the soldiers' pension rolls today. Last June when Auditor Baxter Durham made out the pension checks-there were 450 veterans of the War Between the States who. drew that semi annual payments. Auditor Durham mailed out the vouchers and 400 names remained;. Those 400 veterans are drawing $73,000 in state meney at the rate of $1 per day each for the past six months. The pension payments at this mailing amount to $303,750 as’ compared with $300 405 last June. The increase is accounted for by a larger number 0 f widows and; veterans. ! Widows of veterans who are in-, firm or ill so that they are confined to their homes will draw $150 each or $318,150 , -while other widows will get $50 each or 87,500 Fifty- one negro body guards to Confeder ; ate soldiers in the war will draw $100 each or £5 ,100 .

At his-birthday, Wildstein de monstrated his .vigor by downing a drink of “ corn likker” and giving one of the women inmates a few whils around the dance floor. In the excitement—officials of the home said be was very fond of parties— he forgot. to deliver a speech on which he. had worked all week. He was presented with a pipe by Ross Leff, io i, oldest woman in mate, and announced be expected to live to be 120. good way to get along in Me. Excessive Road Speed. The Baltimore Sun," Nov. Neither the authorities nor the publican can'Vafford to ignore to fact that traffic experts are practi cally agreed in declaring that speed is the outstanding cause of highway accidents. Automobiles of today are capable of making greater speed than ever before.- They can be operated so. easily over roads, that generally speaking, are in ex cellent condition that .drivers un consciously, hit up their rate of travel to an unsafe speed. How ever machanically perfect an auto mobile may be, it cannot be brought to a stop as quickly when- running at fifty miles an hour as at thirty. There is no doubt that thousands of accidents happen because motor ists who do not consider themselves reckless drivers fyiget thap a t any m bm ent^Riey^^^fe cofnitmted by a situation that necessitates a quick er stop than tftey^fcan possibly make.

Relief Headed For A Snag. The federal government’s preseut work relief program is expected to end next July. Few people can doubt that some sort of relief will be vitally necessary after that, but no one knows what form it will take. Because the federal government’s plan is still uncertain, private agen cies are finding it impossible to make intelligent plans for their own future activities. Sosays Robert P. Lane, executive director of the New York Welfare Council. He points out that no private agency can tell just what its share of the relief load will be next year, and that consequently proper organization and financing are impossible. What is urgently needed is a com prehensive, long range statement of the federal relief program. Until such a program is agreed on, the private agencies are put under a handicap they should not be requir ed to carry.—Salisbury Post. Yadkin Has Champion Bible Reader. A news item from Kansas City, Mo., tells of a 101 year old Quaker EnosC. Stanbrough, who claims to be the nation’s champion Bible read er. He claims to have read through the entire Bible five times and the New Testament 47 times. He says be never started reading the Bible until be was 70 years old. ' Yadkin county, N. C., however, has a man that can beat this recrod. “Unde Dock” Matthews, who lives near East Bend, says that he has read through the New Testament 97 times and the Old Testament 37 times. He can quote scores of pas sages from the Bible.- r; Mr, Matthews taught school for 12 years and served as a magistrate for 20 years.. He is a hard wbrker and this year worked a crop of two acres of -tobacco without any help. By and large, it might be better if the laborers of the country managed to get larger incomes. r ip From 293 Of Davie County. This being the first time that Pro ject 293 of Davie County has under taken any flight into the realm of literature, we feel very shy and ton- gus tied. We wish that we had the influence of Moses of old and could call for an Aaron to speak for up. Honestly; we think that there is a lot of which we can boast. Oor work rooms, for instance. We doubt if any project has more coir- fortable commodious quarter?, thanks to some of our public-minded citizens. In Mocksville we reign su preme in the old Southern Bank Building, loaned to us by Messers Sufus and John Sanford. We keep good and warm these cold blustery winter mornings, by a roaring fire in a stove loaned to ub by Mrs. Clegg Clement. But - before fire, there must be fuel. Uncle Sam was a lit tle tardy in delivering fuel to up, however we did not suffer, thanks to The Enterprise Office. Allison-John- son, The Home Ice & Fuel Co., and Mr. Harbinson; who saw to it that our hod was always full. Were we speaking of a bank building? Alas and Alack: Where the vault once stood is now a box of scraps, from which three women are fabricating masterpieces of art for quilts tops which will be used in quilts. These quilts being used some da; by a sick child, an expectant mother perhaps. Who can tell? In Cooleemee the women are going social-minded a* round a quilt frame, in the club room loaned by the Erwin Cotton Mills. And in Fork Church we quilt in a lovely room in the residnce of Mrs. Ethel Bailey. ^-BeingsULyich elegant surroundings inspired us to try to live up to our quarters. Permission was forth with asked and given by our Sponsors— the County Commissioners — to ''smock” ourselves. No peacock was ever prouder of-his fine and gaudv plummage than were we, the day each woman was numbered and as signed a correspondingly numbered smock! Vanity all in vanity, “saitb the preaeher,” . . Why not? Beboid every project in Davie now wearing a lovely brown print smock, made in the work room in Mocksville. Vani ty was not the first consideration however. “Sanitation” was the word that sold the idea to those County Corns. If literature is notour passion, our sewing is. We point with pardon able pride to our output. And when tbe purchasing agent of one of our stores put her approval and. value upon our finished garments we had a real love-feast. We knew that the servant was worthy of her hire. We think that the finest thing a- bout our work though is not that which meets tbe eye of a casual visit or. If tbe spirit’s of our aught of ficials, could hover over the work shops about two in the afternoon, and hear the whir of the machines accompanied by tbe musical hum ming of some; blending of mellow alto and rich soprano voices in and old, beloved hymn or a Christmas anthem, those spirits would have to go back to (where ever spirits are supposed to go) and report that sucb harmony could not emanate from the souls of women who were work ing just for the filthy lucre. If you think that we are trying to put any thing over on you visit us unannounced. We know that if we passed tbe inspecting tour of our County Commissioners, who brought tbeir lawyer along, we can pass that of any mere W. P. A. boss, no mat ter how formidable he or she may be.- We welcome you. BLANCHE HANES CLEMEN r. Gen. Sup. Women’s Work.

You have read or or heard about fellows who claimed that they would put a car in every garage, chicken a IaiKing in every dinner pail, a good five cent cigar at every counter or a nickle glass of beer in every tap room. Usually such promises were made by candidates for public office or their lieutenants. It is not at all doubtful but what such prom ises have gotten votes for candidates in years gone by. Most anyon^.on the inside of local politics will tell you that the price of a pint of liquor has purchased more than one vote in Beaufort, Carteret County .and North Carolinain other days. \ So has the handing out of cigars (which were probably not even good five centers) and the kissing of babies. But this] isja'different era. • The next successful candidate will liave to promise something besides ,five cent mugs of beer, five cent cigars, a. car in every garage, or chicken dinners in every workman’s; pail. Just will.promise his constituents is stillin the bag, but] one prptnise that would carry a long'way towards getting votes would be the promise of a working wage that woujitf at least permit the purchase of ‘white meat’ to cook with hisjbeans, Ifnot pork chops occasionally.

The StatesAndOld-Age Pensions. AU but nine States have some form of old-age pension arrange ment which will enable them to fall right in with the inception o f . the Federal government’s invasion of this held. In those States in which such laws were sketchy and, therefore, inadequate, they were modernized during the present year to confoim with the requirements of the nation, al legislation. In a majority of instances, State laws now set the mnximum a t. £30 the month or $ t tbe day, although several even go beyond this limit. The Federal grant system is' non- contributory unlike the old., age benefit payments which are to be gin in 1942. The funds for the grants come out of the Federal treasury, and are not met by any specific form 0 ! taxation. r Iu the last session of Congress, tbe third deficiency bill, killed’ by Senator Long’s filibuster, carried appropriation of $49,750,000 tor the matching grants in the .fiscal year 1936. With the State laws -liberalized, and with the States now respou- sible for their unemployables, per haps $75,000 000 will be needed in tbe fiscal year 1937 The social security act, provides also for other Federal assistance to State social welfare activities, which is estimated as follows on an annual basis: Aid to the blind, $3,00 .0 00 ; to dependent children, $24,7505 ,£00 ; for meternal and child health,’--$3,- 800 ,000 ,000 ; to chippled children, $2,850,000 for child welfare,'$1,• 500 ,0 00 ; for public health, $8 ,000 ,- 000 . —Charlotte Observer. . ; ---------H-------T--- When farmers are prosperous they buy manufacted goods; toben labor is prosperous the. workmen buy foodstuffs; the motto is: Keep both of them prosperous for: the good of all the rest of all us who live off their activities.

I was too silly, vain -feather-headed. I have realized It since knowing Marcia." “We all want to be different after we have seen Marcia,” Stanley Heath said gently. “We don’t just want to be—we set about It," was the girl's grave reply. “Sit down, Sylvia, and let us talk of Marcia,” ventured Heath after a pause. “I am deeply sorry if I have wounded her—Indeed I am.” The girl searched his face. “I cannot understand you, Mr. Heath,” she said. “What has Mar cia done that you should have left her as you did? Hasn’t she believed In you through thick and thin? Stood up for you against everybody—going it ! blind at that? Few women would Kha* e had such faith In a stranger.” “j “I realize that You do not need to tell me,” he answered. “It Is pre cisely because she has gone so far X believed her capable of going farther yet—the whole way.” “What do yon mean by the whole way?” “To the end.” “Well, hasn’t she?” He shook his head. ' “No. Slie has fallen short—disap pointed me cruelly. When It came to the final test her affection collapsed. Oh, she has been wonderful,” he added quickly. “Do not think I fall to ap preciate that She has far out-dis tanced every other woman I ever have known. I simply expected too much of her, doubtless tbe Impossible. Hu man nature Is frail—a woman’s heart tbe frailest thing of all. I have al ways said so.” “Yon wrong Marcia,” cried SylvIn hotly. “Her heart is not frail. Neither Is she the weak sort of person you have pictured. In all the world you could not match, her loyalty or the depth of her affection. If after the experience we three have lived through together you. have not discovered what she is, it is futile for me to attempt to show you. “You came Into our lives like a meteor—entirely detached from every thing. We knew nothing about you and In the face of damaging evidence you offered neither Marcia nor me one word of explanation. Marcia asked none. Without rhyme or reason she believed in you. I had not her faith. I freely confess I thought you guilty. Oh, I liked you sufficiently well to be ready to help you save your skin. But Marcia cared enough for you to want you to save your soul. “When you were taken ill, we both nursed you—I willingly, she devotedly. Here lay another difference had you been able to. detect it. What hap pened as a result of this enforced In timacy? You know—know far better than I.” “I fell in love with Marcia,” replied the man without an instant’s hesita tion. “You fell in love!" Sylvia repeated, her lip curling. “You call it love—the poor thing you offered her! Why, Marcia would have gone to the world’s end with you, Stanley Heath, bad she the right She would have faced any humiliation for your sake. If prison doors closed upon you, she would have remained faithful until they swung open and afterward followed you to any comer of the earth In which you chose to begin a new life.” “That’s where you’re wrong, Sylvia,” contradicted Heath. “Marcia was not ready to do that I tried her out and she refused. When I told her I should return to her, and asked her In so many words whether she was willing to face shame and public scorn for. my sake Sh^ turned her bach on me. She could not go to that length.” “Are you sure she understood?” asked Sylvia, stepping nearer and look ing fearlessly into bis eyes. “There Is a shame Marda never In this world would face for any man; but it is not the shame you have just described. “It Is tbe shame of wronging another woman; destroying a home. In the villages where we have been brought up, we believe In marriage as a sacred, enduring sacrament—not a bond to be lightly broken. When you .offered Marcia less than that—” “I never offered Marda any sufeh Uhameful position; Sylvia,” cried Stan ley Heath. “I would hot so far Insult her.” “But you are married.” , “That Is a He. Who told you so?” “The—the wire to Sirs. Stanley Heath—the telephone message. I heard, you call her Joan.” “But, Sylvia, Mrs. Stanley Heath is uot my wife. She is my young step.; mother, my father’s widow. I always have called her Joan.” . “Oh !. I beg your pardon,” “I see it .all now,” the man explained. ' “You have entirely misunderstood the situation. Tm a ' Junior. -Since my father’s death,.- .however, people have got out. of the. way of using the term. SOmettmes i .myself am careless about it Se Marcia thought—” “Of course, she did. We both did. How were we to know?” Sylvja de manded. “How, indeed!

Cirf cumstantlal evidence Icem' apparently; work!tvbffdefSi y . Theni suddepiy he threw baek hls bead'and-laughed, • “Bless yon, Httle Sylvia—bless yod for setting me, right I told you you were a brick and you’ve proved it Thanks to you, everything Is now straightened out. Here, give me your hand. How am I to thank you for what you have done? I only hope that young Horatio Fuller of yours realizes ’what a treasure he Is getting.” “He does, Mr. Heath—he does,” ob served that gentleman, strolling at the same instant through the door and encircling his tiny bride-to-be with his arm. “Haven’t I traveled half way across this big country of ours to marry her?” “Oh, we’re not going to be married yet, Hortie,” demurred the girl trying to wrench herself free of the big fel low’s hold. “Certainly we are, my dear. Didn't I tell you this morning I came to get married? I was perfectly serious. Dad gave me two months vacation with that understanding. I must either produce a wife when I get home or lose my job.” “Looks to me as If you had Mr. Fuller’s future prosperity in your hands, Sylvia,” Heath said. “She has. She can make or break me. A big responsibility, eh, Uttle Sylvia?” “I know It, Hortie,” retorted the girl seriously* “She is equal to it, Fuller—never fear,” Stanley Heath asserted. “I’m not doing any worrying,” smiled Horatio. “I—” The sentence was cut short by the radio’s loudspeaker: “The much sought Long Island gem thief was captured thig morning at his lodgings in Jersey City. Harris Chal mers, alias Jimmie O’Hara, a paroled prisoner, was taken by the police at his room on H— street A quantity of loot, together , with firearms and the missing jewels were found concealed in the apartment The man readily admitted the theft He has a long prison record.” i For a second nobody spoke. Then as if’ prompted by common Impulse, the three on the piazza rushed indoors. Elisha was sifting limply before the radio. “Did you hear that?” he gasped. “Well, rather!“ Horatio Fuller shout ed with a triumphant wave of his hand. “Ain’t it the beateree?” exploded the astonished sheriff. “That sends the whole case up In the air. AU that’s needed now to make me out the darndest fool on God's earth is for Eleazer’s young nephew-lawyer in New York, who’s checking up Heath’s story, to wire everything there is 0 . K. If he does, Hl go bury my head. There goes the telephone! That’s him! That’s Eleazer—I'll bet a hat “Hello!—Yes, I heard it.—You ain’t surprised? Wal, I . am. I’m took off my feet—Oh, your nephew wired, did he, an’ everything’s O. K.? That bein’ the case, I reckon there’s no more to be said. I feel like a shrimp. How do you feel?—’’ Elisha hung up the receiver. I “Wal, Mr. Heath, the story you told Eleazer an’ me is straight as a string in every particular," he announced. “You’re free! There ain’t nothin’ I can say. To tell you Tm sorry ain’t in no way adequate. You’ll just have to set me down as one of them pud- din’-headed idiots that was over-am bitious to do his duty." “It Was Outrageous of you. Insult ing, to Leave-a Thing of This Sort for Marcia.” ' “I shall not let It go at that. Sir. Winslow,” Stanley Heath acclaimed, stepping to ,the old-man’s side and seizing his paim In a strong grip. “We ail make errors. Forget it Tm going to. . Besides, you have treated me like it prince' Since I’ve been your guest” “You are the prince, sir. Llvln’ with you has shown me that Wal, any how, all; ain’t been lost. At least Tve met a thoroughbred an’ that ain’t none toe frequent an occurrence In these days.” I. ‘ .. “What I tain’t understand, Mr. Wins low, is why you didn’t recognize he was' a thoroughbred from the begin ning,” Horatio Fuller remarked; “You’ve a right to berate me, young m an-* perfect right I ain’t goto’ to put up no defense, .’Twas the ,circum stances that blinded me. - Besides;. I had only a single glimpse of Mr. Heathr Remember that After ■ he., was took sick I never saw him again. ,Had we got acquainted, as we have-nbw./eveiy. thing would ’a’ been different Findlh’ them jewels—” , “Great hat, man! I had a diamond ring ..in my pocket when I came to Wilton, hut that didn't prove I’d stolen it.” ' “I know! I know!” acquiesced the sheriff. “Eleazer an’ me lost our bear- In’s entirely. We got completely turned round.” . “A thief with a' Phi Beta Kappa key!” jeered Horatio. "Godfrey I” Then turning-to Sylvia, he added in an undertone: “Well,, so fan as I can see the only person who has kept her head through this affair is our Aunt Marcia'.” ’ L Elisha overheard the final clause. “That’s right!” he agreed with cor diality. “The Widder’s head-plece can always be relied upon to stay steady.” “Whose bead-piece?” Inquired Stan ley Heath, puzzled by the term. “Marcia’s. Here In town we call her The Widder.” “Well, you’ll not have the opportun ity to call her that much longer,” Heath laughed. “You don’t tell me!” Elisha re garded him, open-mouthed. “Humph! So that’s how the wind blows, is it? Wal, I can see this mix-up would ’a’ ended my. chances anyway. Mareia’d never have had me after this. Disap pointed as I am, though, there’s a sight of comfort In knowin’ she won’t have Eleazer neither. He don't come out of the shindy a whit better’n me. That’s somethin’. In fact it's a heap!” CHAPTER XIII Intense as was the joy of the three persons, who a little later set out toward the Homestead In the old yel low dory, they were a silent trio. Too much of seriousness had hap pened during the morning for them to dispel its aftermath lightly. Horatio, pulling at the oars, was unusually earnest, Sylvia turned the ring on her finger reflectively and Stanley Heath looked far out over the water, too deep in thought to be con scious of either of them. When, however, the boat swung into tbe channel, Sylvia spoke. “Hortie and I are hot coming with you, Mr. Heath,” she.said. “We will stay behind. Only do, please, promise me one thing. Do not tell Marcia the whole story before we have a chance to hear it. There are ever so many connecting finks I am curious beyond words to have you supply.” “Such as—?” “The jewels In the first place. I can hardly wait to have that mystery solved,” Stanley laughed. “The jewels are no mystery at all. I can satisfy your mind about those here and now. They were' Joan’s— Mrs. Heath’s. Her maid, Corinne,' took them' and disappeared. Soon' afterward, purely by accident, I met Paul Latimer, a friend who lives on Long Island, and during the course of our conversation, he asked if I' knew a good man servant, saying that Julien, their butler, had just given' notice that he was to be married to Corinne, the new parlor maid, and re-' turn with her to France. “The woman’s name instantly caught my attention. “Why shouldn’t I do a bit of sleuth ing on my own account? “Thus far the detectives Joan and I had hired bad made no headway at locating the jewels. “Why shouldn’t I have a try at It myself? I got a boat and cruised along to the Latimers’ at whose house I had frequently stayed, and with the habits of whose household I was familiar. My plan was to arrive early in the morning before the fam ily was astir and catch the parlor maid alone 'at her work. “Should she prove to be our Corinne, I would Jboldly confront her with the theft and demand the jewels; if, on the other, hand, she turned out to be another person altogether, It would be perfectly easy to explain my presence by falling back on my acquaintance with Paul. “It seemed, on thinking the matter over, that this would be a far more considerate course anyway than'tp drag In the detectives, not only because I had no real evidence to present to them, but also because of my friend ship for the Latimers and for Julien, who had been In their employ many years. I knew they esteemed him very highly and would be dreadfully cut np should they find him involved In an affair as unpleasant as this one. Be sides, I felt practically certain he had had nothing to do with the! crime. He was. too. fine—one of the old-fashioned, devoted type of servant “To shame such a man and throw suspicion on him if he were blameless would be a pity, especially just on the eve of his resigning from service. M might mean that instead of leaving with the gratitude and good-will of hlB employers, he might be sent away Un der a cloud, I did not wish that to happen. “Wen, my scheme; worked to a dot “I reached' the Latimers' Unobserved; found Corinne alone straightening up the library; faced her Und demanded the jewels. “The Instant she saw me she knew, the game was up, and, without more' ado, produced ■ the gems from her pdcket, shouldering all the blame. “Julien, she protested, knew nothing of the theft., He was a self-respecting, honest man. Bhotfld he be told at whUt. she had - done it would end every thing between, them. : She loved him. ■ Indeed it was because of him she had committed; the crime.- 7 “It proved they had been' ; engaged Some, time mid long before-had agreed to save,, tb^r . money and sometime pool it . so they mighlr be married and' buy a little home to France.

ONE of the largest of wild game birds which has been domesti cated, the turkey has become “the national festival bird” of various countries. As a wild bird in North America, the turkey supplied the numerous tribes pf Indians and the early white settlers with “game” fowl In great abundance, whereas in later times tbe domesticated turkey has pro vided kings and presidents, as well as the more lowly in rank, In various na tions with a class of meat that has come to be regarded as essential in the proper celebration of certain holidays. The turkey is the only race of poul try that originated in the United States. When Francisco Fernandez, under the patronage of Philip II of Spain, arrived at the northern coast of Yucatan In 1517, turkeys were observed to have been domesticated by the natives. In 1518 Grijalva discovered Mexico and found domesticated turkeys In great numbers. Gomara and Hernandez re fer to wild as well as domesticated forms. Various Indian tribes fed freely upon turkey meat, obtained from both wild and domesticated flocks. The Aztecs were more Inclined to domesticate the turkey than the northern Indians, but all tribes hunted the wild birds. The flesh was not the only part of the ’turkey used by the Indians. Feath ers served to adorn the wearing ap parel, and they Avere also made into robes and blankets, being twisted sepa rately into strands of wild hemp and then woven together. In its original habitat the wild tur key ranged from the Atlantic coast to as far north as the Dakotas, and from southern Ontado to southern Mexico., it was not a native of the three Pacific coast states, nor of Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming. With practically a whole continent for his home, the more favored haunts of the wild turkey were the forests and brush lands, where food was abun dant and there was some protection from natural enemies. He' fed on acorns, seeds, berries, grass and in sects, especially grasshoppers. Found Wild in Southern States. The clearing of the forests and brush lands for agricultural purposes and the shooting of thousands of birds by hunt ers were two of the most important factors contributing to the gradual re treat of the wild turkey from northern and eastern states. It is still to be found in Arizona, New Mexico, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsyl vania, Maryland," Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri, Mississippi, Loui siana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Mexico. Various state game departments are reintroducing the bird, and restocking depleted areas. Although there is no doubt that the wild turkey originated In America, there is much doubt as to how it got its name. Some early writers have suggested that the name “turkey" was adopted because of the supposed re semblance between the adornments of the fowl’s head and the fez worn by Turkish citizens. But the most widely accepted explanation is that the name bears some resemblance to the bird’s repeated call-notes—“turk, turk, turk.” The turkey is not a migratory bird In the sense that ducks and geese mi grate hundreds of miles from the south to the north in the spring and return in the fall; much to the delight of thou sands of hunters. The wild turkey Is a handsome bird of stately carriage. His glossy plumage is mostly greenish bronze, with gold and coppery reflections. In the sun light the effect is a delight to the eye. The feathers of the neck, breast, body, and back are tipped with a band of velvety black, thus accentuating the glowing sheen of the remainder of the plumage, One outstanding characteristic of the turkey is that The upper portion of the neck and tbe head is bare of feathers, the skin being rich purple,or blue. The folds or lumps of bare, skin are called caruncles. There Is a single wat tle, and from the crown of tbe head there hangs a pencil-like projection of the skin, which reddens when the gob blers make love to the bens.; Another outstanding character of theturkey is the tuft of wiry, halrUke “beard” springing fro® the center, of the breast. In some old male wild tur keys, tpe beard frails to the ground. The. feet of the wild turkey are light purple. They are equipped with short, heavy spurs,, but while the male chicken fights principally with his spurs, , the turkey fights almost entirelyn rlfh h ia h o a lr 'Uwith his beak; Gobbler’s “Breast Sponge.” ’ \g jntoylded with Interesting appendage, which is not found on the females or on young gob blers. John James Audubon, writing in 1831, speaks of it as the “breast sponge," and it serves a very impor tant function: In the spring, during the gobbling season, this sponge is filled with fat and serves to sustain the bird; be usually eats little while strutting, gobbling, and otherwise mak ing love to the females. As the mating season advances the gobbler usually becomes quite thin, as the reservoir of fat is used- up. There is no pairing off in couples, as in tbe case of many other wild birds, for the wild turkey male Is polygamous In the extreme and loves a large harem. Bitter fights among the old males are common, the victor claiming the harem of the vanquished. The defeated male miist perforce seek battle with another for the possession of another flock of females, .or he. is obliged to join a group of disconsolate “bachelors.” The females select secluded spots ^or their nests and make a slight de pression in the ground, into which a few dry leaves are scratched. From eight to fifteen eggs, somewhat smaller and more pointed than those of the do mestic varieties, are laid. . After four weeks of incubating, the baby turks, or poults, appear, covered with gray down, dotted With dusky spots, and with two dusky stripes run ning from the. top of the bead .down the .sides of the back. The down is soon replaced by feathers, which are replaced by another coat of feathers when the birds molt The molting sea son begins in August, and by the latter part of Dbcember all of the old feath ers. have been replaced by new ones. The young gobbler acquires his “beard" in the center of the breast by November and it continues , to grow rapidly until the third year, and Qierer after more slowly” The young turkeys receive the care of their mother until they are four or five months old, after wbicb they look after themselves. At six or seven months of age, tbe young gobblers separate from the young and old hens and range by themselves. The old gob blers also range by themselves, usually in flocks of about fifteen. The sexes roost apart Plefity of Enemiea This large and magnificent wild bird has always had numerous enemies, such as the fox, coon, mink, skunk, wolf, lynx, and coyote. Its bird en emies include owls, eagles, and hawks. One writer says “There is never a mo ment In the poor turkey’s life that eter nal vigilance is not the price of its existence." Not only must the turkey be oh guard every hour of the day, but it must also seek roosting places that are more or jess inaccessible to its natural enemies. For this reason tur keys favor trees growing in shallow water, which seems to provide some protection from night prowlers. In early colonial days wild turkeys were very numerous in Massachusetts, and at the beginning of the Nineteenth century they could be purchased tor six cents each,’ while large birds, rang ing from 25 to 30 pounds, sold tor 25 cents. When Cortez first visited the capital of , Mexico, “no less than 500 turkeys, the cheapest meat In Mexico, were allowed for -the feeding of the vultures and eagles kept In the royal aviaries.” The turkey was first introduced into Spain In 1519 by Francisco-Fernandez.' From that country it spread through out Europe and England, being intro duced into the latter country in 1524. The turkey was introduced to Ger many in 1530. Tjie first mention of the bird in Italy was In an ordinance is? sued by the magistrate of Venice in 1556, “repressing thelpxury of serving turkeys.” -,In 1570 Bartolomeo Scappi, cook to Pope Plus V, published receipts tor cooking turkey. " '. In recent years, dressed turkeys have been imported into the United Sfates from Hungary, Russia, Austria, and Ire land, and large numbers cdine from Ar gentina. Such is thp irony, of fate* be ing indigenous to the United States and existing here In countless numbers, the wild turkey was domesticated and later taken to other countries, from which it is now imported In the “dressed” form. > ': •- In Teiasi Colorado, and the bakotas many flocks of a thousand or more birds are raised,annually; Frequently these large flocks are herded-on the prairies In much the same manner Ss are sheep and cattle.

We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called “pain” remedies were advised against by physicians as being bad for tbe stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer . Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year In and out without ill effect, Save proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the /aslesf methods yet discovered for the relief 'of headaches and all common pains . . . and safe for the average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at any drug store — simply by never asking for it by the name ‘aspmn- alone, but always saying BAYEK ASPIRIN when you buy.

UTLEY En c o u r a g in g in this age ot oft - appearing governmental deficits is the report of Gov. Blanton Winship of Puerto Rico, on the island territory’s activi ties for the fiscal year 1934-35. For Puerto Rico, tiny West Indian paradise where some 1,700,000 or more American citizens live under a Stars and Stripes which ripples in the balmy trade winds, closed the fiscal year with a surplus of $606,000, as against a deficit of $279,000 for the preceding fiscal year. , Political strife and the cry for inde pendence, which for some time' had been gathering momentum and even tually resulted in the resignation of Gov. Robert H. Gore, who had served since July, 1933, have abated under the two years of the Winship administra tion until today Puerto Ricans have allowed the greater share of their po litical ardor to crystalize into a calm, determined, orderly fight for statehood. Hearings on the case for Puerto Rican statehood will be resumed dur ing the next congress. The congres sional committee on territories began public hearings in Washington last June on a bill which would allow the island legislature at San Juan to frame a constitution and become the forty- ninth state. This is the desire of the coalition party now in power in the island government, which is completely autonomous except for the appointment of a governor by the President of the United States. There is still some agi tation In the islands, fostered by the liberal party, for complete independ ence, and there has also been talk of a compromise of the two parties which would seek for Puerto Rico complete autonomy without territorial independ ence. This latter arrangement would make the island unique politically, would place it somewhere between a territory and a state, and is believed by many authoritative observers to be the likely outcome. Revenue Collections Are Up. Despite the lingering depression which has not shown signs of lifting so quickly in Puerto Rico as in otlier parts of the United States, revenue collections for the fiscal year just closed were more than $12,642,000, an. increase of $1,371,000 oyer the 1933-34 collections, and $1,442,000 more than Manuel V. Domenech. the treasurer, had expected. Municipal-finances did Dot fare so well, and none of the cities, of which.there are many on this thick ly populated island, built up any sur plus. .The chief cause for worry lay In trade and commerce, which revealed a decrease of 7 per cent in exports and a 9!6 per cent increase in imports, ef fecting the lowest favorable balance of trade In eight years. Yet Puerto Rico sends 94 per cent of its exports to the United States, which imported far more foodstuffs—the principal Puerto Rican products—than in many years pre ceding. HEspecially worthy of note was the falling off in the export coffee ^busi ness, despite concerted promotional drives to popularize Puerto Rican, cof fee in the United States. VVhgre In 1934 the Island exported 2,970,000 pounds of coffee, it shipped away only ,400,000 pounds in 1935. Imports of coffee for the fiscal year just cl”sedwere 1.142,000 , pounds, compared with only 16,449 pounds the year bOfore. Governor W in sh ip a ttrib u te s this start- Iing reversal of form to the small size of the 1934 crop.

Yet holdings of agricultural land are concentrated to an extent that has proved itself harmful to the industry as a whole and has reduced the small owner to' a state approaching economic slavery. Although congress, as far back as 1960, foresaw the hovering evil of con centration of ownership and passed a law which limited corporate holdings to 500 acres, the law was never en forced. Millions in American capital rolled in, to become the foundation for large-scale farming, chiefly on sugar plantations, i until today holdings of more than 500 acres include more than a third of the area under cultivation, although they constitute only .7 per cent of the total holdings. So se.rious has this situation become for the. small farmer, hundreds of families from mod est farms have been forced to give up and move into the cities, there to take up their dSvelling In' the most inade quate and unsanitary of hovels^ consti tuting a threat to political peace, an addition to the already difficult unem ployment problem and . a potential source of diseases which spring from poverty and unclehnliness. President RoosevelL visiting the is land in 1934, was impressed by the evil of this unlawful concentration and declared that he would revive both the spirit and the letter of the law of 1900, and found upon it the return of Puerto Rico to a sound agricultural economy. The President’s interest took form in the PRRA, but this organization was slow In getting started with its work, and it was not until a couple of months ago that it began to take definite, measurable shape. Qn December I, 1935, the PRRA had enrolled 8,700 re lief workers and 1,500 non-relief work ers, from which date 2,500 employees, selected from the relief rolls, as far as possible, were to be added each week until what wns considered an adequate Stglf had been assembled. Funds Fall Short Under the direction of Ernest Gruen- ing, head of the division of ierritories and island possessions of the United States Department of the Interior, the PRRA was to complete operations the cost of which., has been estimated at $157,000,000. Doctor Gruening has been faced "with the rather discourag ing fact that his organization has been given only $64,000,000 so far, his proj ects having had to take reduction aft er reduction in finances. In the face of these rather funda mental annoyances, the program cut out for Doctor Gruening and the PRRA Is nothing if not an ambitious one. One of the first things to be done Is clearing the slums of the cities and solving the housing problems of the farm families who have been forced to seek the centers of population to make sure of. getting something to eat (usually from relief agencies).. This calls for $2,200 ,000 . Coifee and. tobacco industries In the bills which dot the island everywhere, as well as sugar plantations, on the coastal plains and the more infrequent inland lowlands, have 'suffered from centuries of soil erosion, with resultant impairment' of efficiency. Reforesta tion, : forestation and .preventive meas ures against soil erosion will be started to the tune of $994,000. Most of the topsoil has been washed away from-large areas, and many of the trees which were not cut have been destroyed by hurricanes—those of 1928 and 1932, which took 200 lives each, as well as the more recent ones, which wreaked such havoc along the Floridan shores. ............... Another aid to the farmer, will be the rural electrification project,, a. tiny counterpart of similar projects so dear to the heart of the administration on the mainland.. This, to cost 5,2,728,000, will provide hydro-electric power - to irrigate IaDd, especially^ tbst ;on the wide southern coastal plain, where the rainfall is far. beldw the average of 76 Incites annually, and to electrify industries and. homes in the interior. Private power companies, including two owned by foreign concerns, now furnish power in some of the cities and their surrounding areas, but the gov ernment claims to have no intention of competing with fhese in any way. There are also several localities In which po\ver is now supplied by plants owned and operated by the insular government: Fight Cattle Tick. A project with the double purpose of protecting Puerto Rican, minor in dustries and furnishing employment ■Will be the campaign to banish the cattle tick and the coconut budrot This will get $307,000. Three projects combined aim at the readjustment of Puerto Rico’s principal industry, sugar. The .Tones-Gostigan act required a cut of 150,000 tons in the island’s production of sugar. Thij made the unemployment problem even worse,, than it should have been. It abviated the necessity of finding some other use for 75,000 acres of mar ginal sugar land. The PRRA intends to turn this land into homesteading and crop diversification projects. Hammers will soon ring in the con struction of homes, schools and com munity buildings. The farmers now in. the city will be moved out onto these lands and given opportunity to become owners of the little farms upon which they settle. The project will cost nearly $6,900,000. Supplementing this project are two others, that of rural resettlement on marginal sugar lands ($1,868,000 ), and that of resettlement on good sugar lands ($6,500,000). The projects have as one of their goals the co-operative ownership of processing plants and systems of marketing. Eventually it is hoped by this means to diminish the amount of productive and profitable Ignd held by corporations in far-re moved localities and build up the security of the independent farmer. Nor is the ailing coffee-growing in dustry to be left out in the cold. In fact, coffee, along with tobacco and citrus fruit farms, will receive a larger ; allotment of funds than any other of the projects, a total of almost $8,OOO1QOO. Hurricanes and falling prices have put thes,e farmers into a sorry, state. This part of .the rehabili tation scheme is intended to acquire and redistribute thousands of small parcels of, land, which are now strug gling under 'an unwieldy burden of debt, at one-half the appraised value. Will Buy Processing Plants. Under still another project, the PRRA will seek to. buy equipment for the processing and preservation of farm and community products. Such equipment would include sugar cen-' trals, coffee mills, Warehouses and. cold storage plants. The estimated cost ot the venture Is $4,000,000. Amid all this bread-and-butter talk, culture will not be overlooked by the beneficent PRRA. Its program calls for a grant of approximately $1,200 ,- 000 to' the University of Puerto Rico, a first rate co-educational institution founded, more tlian 30 years ago in Rio Piedras. Originally intended as a normal school, this seat of learning now embraces colleges of liberal arts, law, agriculture and the mechanic arts, pharmacy and the university high school. It is known for its fine work in tropical medicine, tropical agrlcui- ture - and Spanish and English lan guages. Graduated from its classes are many of the leaders of island life and, in fact, many prominent persons throughout Spanish America. The PRRA.administration wishes to attain a permanent status, but so far has not been able to secure-the neces sary, approval..from Washington. Or dinarily the FERA funds are endorsed only up to June,: 1937, but during the last session of: Congress a bill was in troduced by which the funds of PRRA might be extended three years past that date. It didn't pass. - ■-© W estern.N envpapor tl&lfic. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SU N D A y l C H O O L L e s s o n By REV.*P. B.

GOLDEN TEXT — Mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. -L iik e 2:30, 31. . . PRIMARY TOPIC — W hen Simeon Saw Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—W hy Simeon Re-' iotced. ' INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—W hat Jesus Can Do for the World. . YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—rJesus, the Hope of All Nations. The occasion which brought Simeon to recognize Jesus as the Messiah was his being offered to the Lord by Mary and Joseph. According, to the Jewish custom (Lev. 12), at the age of eight days the male child was circumcised and thus made a member of the cov enant nation. In this case the child was given the name "Jesus” which in dicated bis mission (vv. 22-24). Then at the end of 40 days he was offered to the Lord on the basis of the original redemptive purpose, which was the priesthood of the first-born, and not ac cording to the Levitical order (Exod. 13:2; cf. 32:26). The offering in such case was a lamb for such as could af ford it, btlt for the poor a pair of tur tle doves or pigeons was adequate. The Savior thus came to the level of the poor. I. Simeon’s Character (v. 25). 1. Upright He sustained a right re lation to bis fellow men. He was "just.” 2. Devout He was of such a char acter as to enjoy personal fellowship with God. 3. Waiting for the "consolation of Israel”—Messiah. Waiting for the ful fillment of the divine purpose In the coming of Messiah had a blessed effect upon his life, inducing righteousness afjd godliness. Waiting for the second coming of. Christ is set forth in the New Testament as having a salutary effect upon. believers (I John 3:3; I Thess. 1:9, 10). 4. Under the sway of the Holy Spirit One thus enabled would be in a condition! to recognize the Messiah. A spiritual mind is absolutely essen tial in order to discern the divine pur pose (I Cor. 2:14). II. Simeon's Revelation (vv. 2628). He was assured that he should not die until he had seen the Lord's Christ. When Christ was brought to the tem ple, the Holy Spirit upon Simeon en abled him to discern the babe as the promised one. Happy is the one whose character and spiritual experience is such that he can discern the'presence of the Lord. Truly it is In him that we live and move and have our being. To be in this state is to practice the presence of God. So definitely was he IdS by the Spirit that when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus into the temple, he took him up in bis arms and blessed God, indicating bis personal and af fectionate appropriation of tbe Mes siah as his Savior and Lord. III. Simeon’s Song (vv. 29-32). This is the song known as the “Nunc Dimittis,” so named from the Latin words with which it begins. 1. He prays for a peaceable depar ture (v. 29). Perhaps it was more than a prayer; it was praise to God that now he is having a blessed departure out of this life, having seen and han dled the Savior. Truly blessed are the dead who died in the Lord. 2. He:praises God for a world-wide salvation (vv. 3632). The “Nunc DI- mitUs” is the universal song, thus wide ly differing from the “Magnificat” in that-it is wider than the Jewish hope. Simeon saw Christ as the Light to. re veal salvation to the Gentiles. This is the true glory of Israel. It Is in keeping with the divine purpose in call ing and disciplining this nation to make it the channel through which he might bless all the peoples of the world (Gen. 12:1-3). / IV. Simeon Blessed Joseph and Mary. - The revelation through Simeon caused them to marvel. To have such wonderful predictions made concerning their Babe filled them with amazement His blessing contained wonderful andv even dark words of prophecy. 1. “This child is set for the fall and rising again of many in.IsraeL” This means that Christ was,to be.a touch stone—destiny would be determined hiy - the attitude of the people toward him. How. definitely this has been: fulfilled In the experience of that people! : 2. “A sign which shall be spoken against” This bad definite fulfillment In Israel and is being fulfilled today among many peoples. 8. -A sword was to pierce- Mary's souL This-perhaps refers to he^ suf fering-as she entered Into sympathy, with his unutterable suffering as he went, to the cross, and her desolation afterward. - ^ Mark Twain’s 1Wit Shown in ' . . Collection of Aphorisms Being a. philosopher, Mark Twain Was given to creating aphorisms— his diaries published in Cosmopoli tan are full of them. For example: Griof can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy yon must have somebody to divide it with. Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else. This is not advice, it is merely custom. A man should not be without morals; it is better to have bad morals than none at all. My books are water, those of the great geniuses are wine.

K News Review of Current Events the World Over Great Britain Lining Up the Nations Against Italy—More .Trouble in the Orient—Death of Senator Schall. By ED W A R D W. PICK AR D © Western Newspaper Union. WAR clouds over Europe were growing denser and blacker dur ing the Christmas holidays when all the Christian world was supposed to be singing "Peace on Earth, good will toward men.” Onder the SkUltul guidance of Anthony Eden, the new British foreign secretary, a solid front against Italy was being built up. There was no present talk of further sanctions against Mussolini, but it is expected added Anthony Eden P6naJties wm be put In force late in January. Meanwhile the general military and naval staffs of Great Britain and France concluded conversations which were declared "satisfactory,” meaning that those na tions were prepared to stand by each other in case Il Duce makes what Prime JIinister Baldwin called “a mad dog attack.” In the capitals of other members of the .League of Nations similar plans were being laid by mili tary and naval attaches. ( Turkey came into line with the other presumptive opponents of Italy, but is reported to have made a sugges- • tlon that France doesn’t like. This is that It be permitted to. fortify the Dardanelles, the strait between Eu rope and Asiatic Turkey which was demiUtarized under the treaty of Lausanne after the World war. The Turks also, according to Paris ad vices, ask the eventual return of the island of Rhodes in the Aegean sea, which has been under Italian sov ereignty since 1923. Eden is a firm believer In _ the League of Nations and, though he is moving with caution, is determined to bring Italy to terms through the sanc tions provided the other' members of the league give the necessary support. The British government certainly doesn’t want war with Italy, but it is fast preparing for armed conflict if that shall prove to be unavoidable. That Mussolini, too, is getting ready for extreme eventualities was evi denced by orders canceling all Christ mas leaves of all officers and men of the' army. The same orders directed the return to their units of the 100 ,- 000 army men demobilized in Novem ber in order that they might do the needed work on their farms. The Italian press ceased its attacks on Great Britain, and this was taken to mean that some peace move was on foot or that Mussolini had said his last word'in that way and that he and his government were prepared to meet their fate. In Rome the hope Is still entertained that Laval will not go all the way with Britain in the policy of extreme sanctions. The French them selves hope that the advent of the wet season In Ethiopia will halt the Ital ians there before it is necessary to impose the final penalties decreed by the league. Egypt’s cabinet was taking steps to 1 protect the Libyan frontier against invasion by the Italians. The Egyp tian leaders are urging the speedy con clusion of a treaty With Great Britain that will give the Egyptians the rights they claim, remove . their re sentment against England and enable 1 them to line up with the British if war I With Italy comes.t «i— •' Otn^iR Mongolia is' aronsed by threats of invasion by the Jap anese troops and their puppets, the. Manchukuoans. Already .the border has been crossed bV the latter and five Mongol guards killed and eleven car ried off by the raiders. Tbe Mongol government has-filed a strong protest,' demanding an apology and the return of the captives. Most of this news comes from Moscow and naturally the Russian Soviet government is deeply interested,- for this and similar inci dents may bring on the long expected war between Russia and Japan. The Japanese authorities in Tokyo let it be known that they are prepar ing, through the autonomy govern ment InNorth China and hoped for co operation by Chtang Kai-shek, Chi nese 'dictator, to combat the spread of- •. sovietism in China. In line with this! is the proclamation of. Prince Teh, Mongolian ruler, declaring the -inde pendence of the western part of In ner Mongolia, a vast -territory with a! population of two' million pastoralists! and rich mineral resources. Chinese students continued their . Tlotous demonstrations against North China autonomy, demanding ' that it:’ be stopped by-armed force. In Shang-' bal thousands of them took possession of the railway ;terminal, demanding free transportation to Nanking to. pre sent their' 'protests to the central gov ernment. Chlang Kai-shek invited1 tbelr leaders to confer with him on January. 15.- ■■ The. tenseness In China was in creased by the assassination In Shang hai of 'flfang Yu-jen, vice minister. of railways and known as-pro-Japanese. This and - other anti-Japanese demon strations-led to. the declaring of mar- • tial law in Shanghai and Nanking. T IBERT? league has put out a a - i 12-point program which It think; the incoming congress should follow Senator Schall governor .said for the sake of the country. It Is de signed “to put the government’s house ^in order.” In its statement the league accuses the New Deal of “doing violence” to the Constitution and charges the Roosevelt administration with “gigan tic waste” in handling relief funds, “promoting pet theories of monetary cranks,” responding to “socialistic in fluences” in competing with private in dustry, and capitalizing on the na tion’s emergency to make centraliza tion of power in the federal govern ment a permanent policy. Continued deficit financing will de stroy government credit and may lead to chaos and dictatorship, the league warned in demanding a balanced bud get and repeal of tax laws aimed at “redistribution of wealth.” Emphasizing adherence to the Con stitution will be the vital issue in next year’s election campaign, tbe league called upon congress to defeat two “threatened” amendments which would bring about “a virtual change in our form of government.” These proposals would create an “unhampered dicta torship,” the league declared, by ex tending federal authority “to permit complete regimentation of industry and agriculture” and by taking away the Supreme court’s power to declare laws unconstitutional. SENATOR THOMAS D. SCHALL of Minnesota, who was struck by an automobile as he was being conducted across the highway near bis residence . in Maryland, suc cumbed to his injuries. The blind statesman had been one of the bitterest opponents of the New Deal and President Roosevelt He had started his campaign for re-elec tion, and Gov. Floyd Olson of Minnesota had announced he also would seek the n o m in a tio n fo r Schall’s seat The after the senator’s death that he would soon appoint his successor; that be had no intention of resigning in order to be himself named to. fill Scbatl’s place. Mr. Schall, who was born In 1878 In Michigap, lost his sight in an acci dent after he bad been practicing law In Minnesota four years. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT de- r clared himself satisfied with yie progress made by Harold Ickes and Harry Hopkins In carrying out the re- Uef program. He said that the Works Progress administration had come within 20,000 of reaching its. goal of 3,500,000 men at work, and that 77 per cent of public works projects were un der way. By January 15, he predicted, PWA will be functioning 100 per cent Mr, Roosevelt repeated that the gov ernment assumed no responsibility for those not hired under the program. He had asked congress for four bil lions last January, he'said, based upon an estimate that there were 3,500,000 needy men who could work. He got the four billions and the 3,500,000 have been put to work, he said; The re maining unemployed must be cared for by “states, municipaUties, counties, and private charity,” he added. When reporters said that some es timates placedthe total of unemployed at 11,000,000, the President held that it was often difficult to'say whether a person should be classed as unem ployed. He cited the case of people who have resources, but desire part- time employment for supplemental income. , He also said, in discussing unem ployment further, that 5,000,000 per: sons had found employment since the spring of 1933 in industries which re port such statistics. F JNEXPiECfEDLT early decision as to the. validity of the Guffey.coal’ act was assured. when < the Supreme court agreed ,to pass on the constitu tionality of the law without waiting, for a ruling by the Federal ,Court of Appeals. Both the, government. and Kentucky . soft coal producers had asked the. Supreme court for . this “short cut.” . ' , . REPEATED threats of kidnaping and even murder for their little son have, driven CoL and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh from the. United . States. They have sailed with their boy, Jom for England, and plan to establish a residence there, though, they will hot give-up their American citizenship, Where they will live has not been re- . vealed to even their closest friends, it is believed'the colonel.will not sever his relations with the two air trans port companies for which he is a' tech- nlcal adviser. HARVARD university received a handsome Christmas present Ifom Thomas W. Lamontl .one of the part ners in J. P. Morgan & Co. It was! $506,000 for the establishment of a new chair In political economy, one of the “roving1? professorships: to be created by gifts from alumni In recognition ef' the university’s three-hundredth anni versary that comes In 1936. WHEN the Supreme court passed on the constitutionality of the Tennessee Valley act, its opinion will not be unanimous, is the prediction of those who were present during the oral arguments. The case was taken up to the highest tribunal , by fourteen preferred stockholders of the Alabama Power company. During arguments by Forney John son, Birminghafii, - Ala., attorney' for the stockholders, and by John Lord' O’Brian, New York attorney, for TVA, justices shot many questions at the lawyers. Justice McReynolds, known as a “conservative,” appeared to challenge the TVA lawyer to defend the right of the government to sell surplus pow er produced by Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals. On the other hand, Justices Bran- dels and Stone, who are known as "lib erals,” inquired into the right of minor ity stockholders of the Alabama Power company to bring the suit which led to the Supreme court test The stock holders sought to enjoin performance of a. contract under which the com pany was to sell lines to TVA for transmission of power! FEDERAL Judge Merrill E. OHs at Kansas City has held unconstitu tional the Wagner labor dispute act which gives employees the right to or ganize and bargain collectively. The judge granted the Majestic Flour mills of Aurora, Mo., a temporary injunction against a National Labor board com plaint which cited it for alleged refusal to bargain concerning a wage and hour agreement with a union of its em ployees. TWO grand juries, a house commit tee and an army court martial have been investigating lobbying at the War department for two years. The climax came with the Indictment in Washing ton of a dismissed army officer, a for mer member of. congress, and two al leged lobbyists on charges of conspir acy to defraud the government. Those named were former Brig. Gen. Alexander E. Williams, one time acting quartermaster general of the army, who was convicted by a military court last spring of accepting an improper loan and ordered dismissed from the service; Thomas Jefferson Ryan, law yer and former representative from New York, and the well known Silver man brothers, Joseph, Jr., and Nathan, surplus army goods dealers. The four men were charged with conspiring to prevent the house mili tary affairs committee' from question ing Frank E. Speicher, “mystery wit ness” of the long inquiry by hiding him out in New York city while federal agents were, hunting him throughout the nation. GOVERNMENT ownership of Amer ica’s railroads is the objective in a campaign which has been started by the Railway Labor Executives’ as sociation; Describing the carriers as “chips in a financial poker game,” the executives, in a circular to members of congress, ask for government own ership as “the only way out of the morass in which the roads have been placed by the bankers.” The financial practices, the circular said, “endanger the equities in -the roads of insurance companies, educa tional institutions, mutual savings banks, philanthropic institutions, and last but not least, the individual in vestor who, in many instances, has his all in the securities of railroads. IF WISCONSIN Republicans wish to make Senator Borah their candidate for the Presidential nomination, it is all right with the veteran from Idaho. State Senator P. E. Nelson of Maple, Wis., and former State Sen ator Bernhard Getlpl- man of Milwaukee __________called -on Mr. Borah mg J S ln Washington and TBL’ asked permission to circulate nominating petitions for him In their state. This was granted. .- Mr. Borah told re- Senator Borah porierlL that Nelson and Gettelman had suggested ’a campaign for “a delega tion representing the liberal forces In the party out there, and In my name.” He had agreed, he said; to “go along with them.” Later Mr. Borah Issued this state ment: . . . “My primary objective is a conven tion of Uberal delegates which will write a Uberal platform and name a Uberal candidate. To that end I shall devote my efforts. If In any state or district the Uberal forces think that it wiU help the liberal cause to pledge delegates to me, I shall co-operate fully with that plan. If, however, it is thought better to pledge tbe delegates to some otiier liberal, I shall cooperate just as'fully. In other words, inflex ible as to the objective, flexible as to the tactics; “As I see the political situation In this country, a man would be seeking JioUtical Immolation to_take a nomina tion upon any other than a liberal plat form. So the first thing to do is to get a convention committed to liberal prin ciples. So far as my efforts count, I am'hot going to'permit personal mat ters, either my own or those of others, to interfere with the main purpose.’!

Wood- ring. assistant secretary of war, - NationalTopicsInterpreted by W illiam B ructart National Press Building Washington, D- C. Washington--It was in the sultry days of the summer of 1914, it will . , ' be remembered, that IVaiftnK . Archduke Ferdinand fo r a S p a rk was iaid ,ow bJ an assassin’s bullet in a remote province of Austria. At the time, , the assassination was front page news for most of the newspapers but its real import was not generally recog nized. Nevertheless,-from that incident sprang the greatest war the world has ever known. Within a few months of 22 years after the assassination at Sarajevo the world sees a situation in Europe where another such incident would have con sequences just as violent. At the pres ent time, ammunition dumps ail over Europe are waiting for a spark to set them off. I t ' may be an accidental spark or it may be a spark deliberately cast into that powder keg. I do not mean to say that it will happen but I do wish to emphasize that at no time since the Archduke’s assassination has there been a field so fertile for the pro motion of a gigantic war as the present. It may seem, and it undoubtedly does seem to many, that the dangers in herent in the European situation at present are afar off. But, it can be recalled that there were those in this country who, as late as 1916, said the European war was 3,000 miles away. Before it ended, however, 5,000,000 American boys and young men had been drafted to be thrown into that European cauldron. It may happen aSain- While there is no immediate possi bility of the United States getting tan gled up In the European.political prob lems which spring from hostilities be tween • Ethiopia and Italy, those who know history cannot fail to agree with the statement' that it is never too enrly to plan for preventing war. For that reason, then, I believe almost every family In the United States has a stake, either directly or indirectly, In one of the problems witlf which con gress must deal. This legislation is known by-the short and rather inde- scriptive title of the neutrality policy. It is, indeed, just that, but the point I seek to make is that the title does not convey by any manner or means its full importance or its full effect upon the lives of each of us. If a policy can be worked out, a policy that is effec tive, obviously qur chances for remain ing oiit of any hostilities in Europe-- or in Asia for that matter—are cer tainly much better. I do not know and I do not believe anybody can say accurately that it is possible to de velop .a neutrality policy that will be foot-proof; or that-will guarantee to us the removal of possible entangle ments, or that will prevent us from stubbing our toes and falling into the midst of the mess. It seems to me, however, that we ought to try. ■ * * * A year ago about this time, congress enacted a bill which was designed to prevent the shipment K eep U s 0f war materials to O af o f W a r any belligerent na tion or nations. It was mandatory. The President was di rected by congress to lay an embargo against the shipment of arms,. ammu-' nition of war to any countries engaged in hostilities regardless of whether their claims were right or wrong. We have had some experience with the force of that legislation already and It has not been without its embarrass ing and. difficult phases. Now, how ever, it is. proposed to revamp that legislation whteh was admittedly of a temporary character and is due to ex pire i>y limitation of law on February 29. Congress has been told rather def initely, I think, that this country wants to remain out of someone else’s war. The President has the same idea. So, Instead of allowing our citizens to run wild, ship anything and everything, make contracts with the countries now engaged In war or those that may be engaged later, it is proposed that we have a permanent policy embodying whatever principles may be found wisest to protect us from ourselves and prevent us from throwing ourselves again into such a volcano of molten lava SB any present-day war would be. • The problem Is not as simple as it appears on . the surface When congress enacted the present temporary neu trality legislation, it provided that the embargoes, when and If laid, must ap ply to all. It gave-the. President no discretionary power to determine whether we wanted to use these em bargoes as a weapon against one na tion while aiding another. Mr Roose-' velt, In accepting the original legis lation, said publicly that he believed he should - have such discretionary power. This was In Iinh with the con clusions of the, Department of State which necessarily must be the Presl dent’s adviser on matters of this kind. Congress was criticized In many quarters when it made the embargoes applicable to all belligerents. n Z however if we may judge from the word that comes to Washingtpn. sentl ment Sfenia to be swinging in the other direction and there certainly Is a considerable, If not a majority , s£m! ment for uSe of the mandatory provi- s on as distinguished from the IxtJn P«sid°ent. * T ^ T R Oa^ 0r4ty ‘° sentiment ap^ews to Se . Jvay' veiiigerent powers ana hot -just to one nation whose claims onr government may believe to. be unjust. *. * .* It is safe to say that before congress determines definitely what the perma- . nent policy shaU be, ■ E xp ect - there will, be i bitter H o t D ebate debate. In examining the problem,'; it is to be remembered that-when the govern ment lays an embargo against all na tions at war it takes away possibilities of tremendous profit. -This profit ac crues to those industries by which sus taining war materials are produced. Neutrality legislation, therefore, may prove costly, not as costly as war, per haps, but nevertheless a costly action. Hence, there is no question that many lines of commerce and industry are go ing to be drawn into tbe preliminaries of this decision. To explain how disturbing to certain lines of industry this thing can be, it is only necessary to recall events of the last month or so In connection with the sanctions proposed by the League of Nations. The League has tried to force the dictator, Mussolini, to with draw from Africa by the use of em bargoes, which is what sanctions are. The League proceeded with consider able vigor until it reached the question of oiL " Immediately, shoes began to pinch and tbe feet that were pinched fvere in' every country where oil is found, even our own. As a result, they have led the oil horse up to the watering trough from a half dozen different approaches but they have not yfet been able to make him drink. Our own oil interests have not been quiescent. If the league bans oil shipments to Italy, the United States, which is not a member of the league, obviously will do likewise Prof its of the oil companies and the hun dreds upon hundreds of thousands of shareholders would be cut. Further, Mussolini has announced publicly that imposition of the; em bargo upon oil wOuld mean war. . He did not say with whom he would go to war but the British and the French know and they are getting readyl The British has its entire home fleet In the Mediterranean at this time and the Blue Jaekets aboard the British men of war have been drilled thoroughly anew in the science of manning their big guns. So it is seen how delicate this whole circumstance is. Itis plain that when congress deals with the neutrality leg- .islation, it is moulding a pattern over which there will be undoubtedly an alignment among our citizens as sharp ly drawn as though it were a purely domestic question. There will be those, of course, who favor a permanent pol icy which will make it mandatory upon the President to apply embargoes against shipments of anything usable In war and treat all nations engaged in war alike. There will be set off against this sentiment those who think the Chief Executive should have discretion ary power and that' tbe government should not be placed in a strait-jacket from which it cannot extricate itself without congressional action. What ever tbe conclusions may be and what ever form the new legislation takes, it remains as one of the,most impor tant policies to come before congress in many moons. Whateveg is done necessarily will be a precedent !toward which future generations will look as time goes on whether civilization be comes more enlightened dr not. » •' * The Treasury, operating on a fiscal year that runs from July I to June 30, „ . _ , has just passed the M u st C at half-way point In the O utgo current 12-month pe- riod. - The figures show that its receipts are lagging far behind the expenditures and demon strates the necessity for cutting down the federal outgo unless the nation de sires to see its public debt go far be yond any total hitherto conceived. The official Treasury statement as of December 30 shows that the gov ernment.has spent approximately SJL- 850.000.000 more in the first six months of this fiscal year than it received In taxes and other revenue. In consequence of this deficit, the Pnbli° ^ebt is now approximately $30,- 600.000.000, the highest point it ever has reached and that total is roughly two billion dollars higher than the pub lic debt as it stood last July, i when 'tbe.present fiscal year began. • Since the expenditures were so much larger than the receipts, the Treasury has been operating t»n a basis that; re duced to-the minimum, shows an out- go of about $1.96 for every $1.00 col lected in revenue during the first half of the current year.

FLEMING TO TAiiMtSTERY !”» (M)T OF BANKING . By ROBERT V. FLEMING, Prtsiieat American Baakert Association The American Bankers Association has cooperated wherever it could prop erly do so in every measure for national - recovery. It has of fered constructive 'r eco m m en d a ' tions for such changes Jn bank- ' Ing laws as we rec ognlzed were nec essary, and we now have a better law under which to operate. The Banking Act of 1935 affords us op portunities fo r broader s e r v Ic e and, at the same time, retains the fundamentals which we believe are so vital to our national welfare and which have played’ a" large part In bringing our”country, In a comparatively short space of time, to the position of the greatest industrial nation on the earth. The Public, and Banking It ls necessary that the public have a thorough understanding of the func tions of banks, what they can, do and what they cannot do, for It must be recognized that, to many people the business of banking is still somewhat of a mystery. We should frankly explain these func tions to the public, acquaint them with thfS laws under which we operate and emphasize the. vital part which banks PlaJfln the economic life of the Nation. Therefore, In-order that there may be thetlullest cooperation and understand- Ihg^between the bank : and the people of the country. It will also be one of our objectives to take the mystery out of banking wherever It exists In the public mind. Banking Conferences A series of Regional Conferences on Banking Service will be held In strate- gic'-i'ictlons of the country, embracing all iypes of banking. The new banking laws and the regulations issued there under will be carefully analyzed so that our bankers will have a thorough un derstanding of-the broadened services now made possible. The question of public relations and > how we can be3t serve the people of our communities'will be another topic i.of discussion. Clinics or forums on spe cifier questions of interest to bankers and the problems confronting them In theft partlcular'jlocalitles will also. Ie included In these conferences. PUBLIGAHITUDE H HELPS THE BANKS Annual Bankers Convention Says Feople Have Had Confi dence Restored—Recommends Changed Government Policy The restoration of public confidence in banking has put It In the position where it can function fully and vigor ously In playing its full economic part In the progress 'of recovery, said the American Bankers Association In Its annual convention resolutions. A “The passage of a generally construc- tive-Jianking law In the Banking Act of 1935 has stabilized the banking situa tion and enabled, bankers to devote un divided attention to Uie normal admin istration of their institutions In pro moting the business and public welfare of their communities,” the resolutions said.; • "We feel that It is a particularly. Im portant feature of this law that.lt' aims to create through the revision of the Federal Reserve Board a Supreme Court of Finance which, with the non- political appointment of exceptionally competent men,; should constitute one of the greatest forward steps In build ing a sound banking and credit system for this country.” ^ The Government in Banking ; Another resolution said: ■ “We particularly emphasize the de sirability of . the retirement of govem- ment from 'those fields of extending credits of various' types which can be adequately served by privately owned Institutions. We recognize that : the exigencies'of the now passing depres sion made necessary a large participa tion by government for a time In the !.task of meeting the public's emergency financial needs. “Those conditions have been largely .remedied andUie obligation now rests I upon the banks and other financial !agencies to demonstrate to the people of this country: that they are fully able and willing to meet all demands upon them for sound credit cooperation. It is our duty as bankers to facilitate In every effective way the retirement of government agencies from credit ac tivities by .'promoting public iinder- standlng of-the proper function of pri vately owned- banking.” . I.:. ACCURATE RECORDS f " ' .«?s.r.; ' The keeping of Mburate recordB'con stitutes an. essential part of any success ful business H management, whether nianafact^ring,\mefctE:iidbtng or farm ing. It It quite "eaerally conceded that any good business concern keeps ade quate records, and this procedure Is equally.

' ' ■ MLD PROTECT ' f BAHKliFED ' IN RURAL IREAS American Bankers Association Announces Purpose to Com bat Return of Escessive Number of Banks CITES LAX CHARTER POLICIES IN THE PAST Finds a Chief Cause of BanIs Failures Was Too Many Banks—Existing Sound Banks Serving Communities Well NEW YORK. — Existing sound banks, especially; the small banks In the rural districts which are serving their communities well, should be pro tected from any return of the over banked local conditions caused by former lax chartering policies, which were mainly to blame for the unfavor able failure record of the past, says thr Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association. This is brought out in a-report covering an In vestigation by the commission of bank failures and public policies in charter ing banks. “The Commission’s study gives an impressive revelation of how great a part mistaken public policies in the chartering of banks played In creating the unsound banking structure which finally collapsed with the Bank Holiday In March 1933,” Robert V. Fleming, president of the association, says In a foreword. “Over-production ; of banks, literally by thousands, over many years in the face ot insistent warnings not only from bankers and others who recog nized the danger, but even more so from the mounting records of bank failures themselves, is clearly shown to have constituted as a whole one of the great est single economic errors in the history of the Nation.” A Recurrence Feared He refers to fears ot a recurrence of over-banking recently expressed by Federal banking: authorities, to the powers given the; Federal Deposit In surance Corporation by the provision of the Banking Act of 1935 over the admis sion of banks to membership In the In surance fund, to strengthened state laws and to the policies now being fol lowed by both national and state super visory authorities aimed to safeguard the nation against over-banking.' rBut sound lawi and conscientious officials are not ,of themselves always sufficient safeguard In any field of our complex national Ufe unless they have the active support;.o£ public, .opinion,” he adds. “It is the^piirpose of the Ameri can Bankers Association to -Id In mar shaling public opinion In support of both national r.nd-state supervisory au thorities in their efforts to strengthen and protect the banking structure.” The Economic Policy Commission summarizes its findings\in part as fol lows: ( “The facts show a distinct causal re lationship between the oVer-chartering of banks and the abnormal bank fail ure conditions that prevailed from 1920 to the bank holiday In 1933. It is desir able that studies be-made on the basis of experience to develop standards gov erning the number'of banks-or the vol ume of bank capital which can be suc cessfully operated,;1. “Such a study-: would embrace the question whether banking facilities can best be supplied to the rural districts by small unit banksi.br by branches from banks of substantial capital In larger centers. Existing-sound banks, which are serving their communities well should be protected from any- retura of the over-banked local conditions caused In the past by lax chartering policies. Banking Officials Queried “An inquiry among state bank com missioners shows.a preponderant opin ion against increasing materially the number of banks^ coupled with:the fact that present laws give them'sufficient discretion to prevent a repetition of the grave errors of the past yA “Under prevailing abnormal .condi tions, with the Federal Government ex tensively exercising; loaning powers in competition with the banks, and with Industry itself so largely supplied with funds as to render-It to a great degree independent of normal bank borrowing, the banking structure eyett; with its present reduced ^umbers,, finds it diffi cult to support its^existing; capital In vestment and operating personnel. “These are -iw factors, intensifying the need for highly prudent and re strictive chartering policies. We .urge the retirement of ,the Federal Govern ment from the banking business as rapidly as the return of normal.busi ness conditions iwarruit’t : .

We learn that, in the first six weeks in which the driverf’ license law has been in effect, about two hundred operators of motor vehicles had their license revoked. It has been pointed out that there are sevbn offenses which make re vocation mandatory and eight others which permit it It also bas been pointed out that, if a North Ca 0 Iina driver commits one of these of fenses in auother state, it automa tically reookes his right to drive in his own state. At this rate, in about a year, there wiil have been about 1,800 license revoked. This means that an average of about 1S reckless and druuken drivers from each country in the state will have been taken from each country in the slate will have been taken off of our high ways. This should make North Caro Iina a fairly safe place in which to drive. The effect will not only be only from revoking the Careless ones but it also will felt from the added precaution that will be taken by those who still retain their li cense to drive. That it is already having its effect may be seen in the report of vital statistics which has just been releas ed for the period covering the time since the law went into effect. ■' In this report, deaths-irom high way accidents show a" decided de cline.

' Here are two facts for you tc think over: Eighty per cent of all taxes in this nation are "hidden” —that ie, they represent part of the cost of articleS-hnd services, and must be paid by the consumer.

The total net taxable in come of persons with net incomes in excess of £5.000 was$4,0 00 ,000 ,- 900 . This makes a total cost of $6 500 .0 00 .000 . The total cost of. government, federal state and local, was £15.500 ,000,000 in 1933; . Re suit: If the government :had con fiscated the entire taxable income of all corporations and individual:- with a net income of $5,000 or more, there would have remained a tax bill of $9 ,000,000 000 to be paid by persons and - businesses outside of these classifications. TheTact that the tax bill was not paid . in th at yefir, much of it being addedto the public debt, makes no difference—;, a day of tockoning must come eyenti y e s to r ;^ e ^ ^ r ||,J ^ f e |lt The Tooters Muted.

Those whose memeries are good and who recall how Federal relief was handled when it was instituted in the Fall of 1932 under Mr. Hoov er’s administration will rather be disposed to string along with the former President in his defense of the methods employed at that time as against these later adoped. But the original method employ ed to get Federal funds into the bands of the needy was pitched upon the volunteer idea of service. Communities were depended upon to find their own people, then go to the welfare officer and get what was needed. . The goverment matched funds with local dollars and proper credit was given what local citizens might contribute in tbe way of clothes provious and whatever else was needed by the extreme needy. Mr. Hoover has an argument here. There may be flaws in it, but not so many as may appear to the su per Gcal minds that appproach comparison between that plan and the present intricate, labyrintial, extremely expensive and politics glutted Federalized system.—rChar- lotte Observer.

Much comment, is being heard from over’the state on the recent announcement by Judge Wilson Warlick that every person convict ed in his courts of driving while drunk will be given road sentences, and general approval is being ex pressed. . We have been too lenient in our handling of drunken drivers, we are convinced,' but a blanket order in this matter otten brings injustices and is difficult to carry out. Ntv ertheless, if / every defendant on such a charge was reasonably sure that he would ;be given a road sent euce and made to serve it, rather than given the alternative of a fine he might consider the matter more carefully and not be so eager to rush out on the highways behind the steering wheel of a high-power ed auto after he had imbibed too too freely. 7 ; If all the judges of the state would take a stand - as; has Judge Warlick, it might start the drivers to thinking a little more seriously of the rights and safety of others.

My conscience is troubling: me a good deal Ihise days in regard to William Jennings Bryan. Not that Iw asoneofthose who vehemently denounced his resignation from the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson or his earnest efforts to keep Americans from traveling in the war z me. My criticisms were based upon/ other things. They trouble me now because, as I look back on those war years. - I : can see how eternally right he was in his main contentions, and I am sorry that I helped, to create feeling against him by attacking him on other lines. So IiIeelIike getting up a great mass meeting in Carnegie Hall in New York to do honor to his memory. There should be no difficulty in ’ get ting distinguished speakers, because the correctness of his attitude and policy has now been so clearly de monstrated that Congress has: voted his neutrality policy and the Presi dent has put it into effect.—Oswald GarrisonViIlardinNation. Itw illbe recaIled that in the se cond campaign Woodrow Wilson made for the Presidencey.

Practically every community in the country has endeavored to get its share - and more than its share—of government relief funds, including the money which was put out under GWA, WPA, PWAana other govern mental agencies. Swimming pools, stadia, public parks and playgrounds have been built or established by the hundreds; yes. thousands. Golf courses, air ports and highway beautification projects have been allocated from Maine to California; from Michigan to Texas. Tbe money is available!” the gov ernment said in effect, "all you’ve got to do is to ask for it.” There was very little hesitancy or delay in asking. In some instances, certain thoughtful citizens remarked: But we can get along without a, new golf course.” To which other citi zens indignantly responded: "But the money is there for us, so why not take it? If we don’t, somebody else will.” So they took the money. BUT—wait untiT 1937, when our new schedule of taxes goes into ef fect, You’re going to see a decided change in attitude by that time Ybu’re also going to hear some of the loudest howling that you’ve heard in a long, long time.—The State, The Whole Truth. WhenFrankIinD Rooseveit was a candidate for President, he said: Taxes are paid in the sweat of every man who labors, because they are a~ burden on production and can be paid only by production.” /There was never a statement made that contained more truth than this statement by President Roosevelt. Back at that time he was promising if elected, to cut out the many use less commissions and government em ployees. and was preaching economy, in government. However, this prom ise seems to have been ignored and if. is a fact tbat a large number of gov- Car^aaid: that the presentation is in tended as a New Year’s gift as a re ward for the dnver whose good care and' maintainence has enabled the very oldest Chevrolet to survive after many years of operation. "Chevrolet is happy to present this 1936 model,” said Mr. Holler, "be cause it feels that some recognition is due the owners of Chevrolets- Our achievement of a production totalling well over a million cars during the current year is to be credited large ly to ,.motorists who began purchas ing Chevrol ets years ago nnd have placed many repeat orders since then.” I wish that I could have the thrill that is in store for the owner whose early Chevrolet—a car maybe 15 or 18 years—will be supplanted by a 1936 model.” Although the presentation will be made as a New Year’s gift, the time for submitting cars for considera tion has been extended, to include Jan. 15, because of the short period bstween Dec 12. the birthday of the millionth car of the year, and the first of the year. Announcement of the award will be made on or a- bout Jan 22 as soon as the records can be carefully studied to deter mine exactly who has the oldest Chevrolet in active service. Misplaced Courtship. The Massachusetts courts have held that a motorists who zips a longthehighway at 35 mites an hour, while embracing a fair young thing who shares the front seat.with him, is “grossy negligent” in opef ating his car. A young gentleman who bad been doing just that was involved in an accident. The lady whom he was hugging suffered a dislocated jaw, lossened teeth, and sundry cuts and sprains when he let his car get out of control and hit a tree. She sued for damages and got them on the charge of gross negli gence. About all you can say about this ruling is that it states th&case mild Iy. Hugging a girl can be-a very It ris refreshih'g-: after, the ,great Commoner has passed away to. see that bis last official act Ih which he urged that Americans should not travel abroad on foreign ships and that American ships should not go in waters where German submarines were active, has been justified by tbe, passage of a neutrality law by Con gress and signed by President Roose velt which forbids those things in which Mr. Bryant was so violently opposed. The newspapers called Bryan a traitor, a Benedict Arnold. They said be wasn’t for his own country, they said he was giving aid and com fort to Germany. They’ said many things that reflected on the patrio tism and character and intelligence of the great Commoner, but/time has vindicated him and Congress has enacted into law exactly whait he Stood for during the World War, It has even gone farther than he went.

The Supreme court in a sweep ing decision last; week ruled tbe entire AAA program was unconsti tutional. Justicc Roberts delivered. the opinion before tbe session was ten minutes under way. The controverted general welfare of the constitution was held to be no warrant for the extraordinaty New Deal farm relief plan. ; After reviewing the history . of the case. RobertsJsaid the process ing tax was inseparable from the rest of the act and the Hoosac Mills, of Massachusetts; had the right to challenge tbe entire statute. The original adjustment act was declared to be . "an invasion of states’ rights” and beyond federal power under the ‘general, welfare” clause. If the farm aid legislation were valid, he said, it would possible for congress to regulate industry in its most meticnlous forms.

D. Hodges When death.called Colonel J D. Hodges, of Davie, it sounded taps for a valiant, hardy soldier who had battled long on more fronts than one. The four years he gave to tbe service ot the Confederate Army and the South were tbe most event- fnl ones of his life, but they consd tuted relatively a very short period in a career that stretches across nine decade-: aad more. It was for a warfare that calls for neither musket nor saber that Colo nel Hodges prepared h'njselt at Old Trinity college in Randolph, and later at Yale, in the ante bellutn days. And it was to this warfare that he returned after he had sheathed his sward in 1865 As a teacher he made relentless war upon illiteracy in North Caro Iina As professor at Trinity, prin cipal high schools at Monroe, Rock ingham, Raleigh, and New Bern, as head of bis own private'academy m Davie, and as superintendent of the Davie county schools, he be came an influence in education to attract the attention of Aycock and other great leaders of the new fr;e dr>m in North Carolina. He join ed with these leaders in advancing tbe cause of education and culture to unprecedented heights Hisdeep scholarship, nobility of spirit and conscientious devotion to ideals in spired many of his scholars to be come leaders in this fight in their various communities. On great moral issues. Colonel Hodges stood firmly on the side which he knew from wisdom and experience to be right. With simple courage and with stout heart he fought for his country upon the soddeu fields of battle. No doubt he asked nothing other from a friendly providence than the long life it gave-him iu .which to battle for the welfare of his people. Though he retired from teaching at 80 years, to the end bis active mind kept abreast of the day’s events, and his interest in political and Sociologii cal affairs often brought him to the firing line.

F '-'.tKERG, gateway to the Black Forest of Germany, not only thrills tourists with its quuint- . ness, but Is a city of historical monuments. Many of the monuments are churches, but numerous lay monu ments also flank Frleburg’s streets. Martin TValdseemuller, the geogra pher who was the first to put the name “America” on a map, was a Frei- burger, and his ancestral dwelling not only still stands but flourishes. Mar tin’s father was a prosperous butcher, who apparently held views unpopular In Germany even then, for he was known as “King of the Jews” and met a violent death. The family were at the time living In what Is now No. 9 Lowenstrasse, then the Pike's Head house, and Martin was a student at the newly established Albert-Ludwig university. Later, when Waldseemuller’s “Cosmograpbiae In- troductio” and the world map, on which for the first time the newly dis covered Western World was called “America,” became famous, neighbors probably remembered that a family of that name had ,,lived on their street. But it was only In recent years that a tablet was placed over the door of the little two-story yellow house, stat ing. that here from 1480 to 1492 dwelt Martin Waldseemuller, who in his famed World Atlas of 1507 bestowed •on the 'continent'Of1TsWrica Ih^ name It bears. It' Is a beauty shop now, with a shiny brass dish, sign of the hair dresser, swinging over its door. No one looking at Its positively “prissy” front would dream that it had weath ered the storms of 450 years. The Whale house—why “Whale” no one seems to know—is probably the most spectacular of all Freiburg’s lay monuments. It was built by Kaiser Maximilian I, but only three years after its completion he died, In 1510. Save for a brief month when Maxi milian’s grandson visited Freiburg, it was never occupied by royalty. But the place has been meticulously kept up, and now, one of the town’s largest savings banks, it stands, all warm red and glittering gilt, a classical example of the dwelling of a prosperous medie val noble. Oldest Inn In Germany. The Bear inn is generally conceded to be the oldest inn In Germany. There it is, a deep-yellow, three-story stone building with a high, dormer- windowed roof and maroon shutters, set slightly edgewise and bulging a little with the bend of the street; but natty withal and rather snapping its fingers to the 500-odd years that are chalked up against it The inn appears on Freiburg’s town records as a going concern in 1390, and since that date the names of its proprietors are all on file. This is something of a miracle when you consider that the poor old Bear has kept his ground with his back against the city wall and his nose uncomfortably near the city’s most vulnerable gate, and that he has sur vived the onslaught of Austrian, French and Swedish armies. All Freiburg’s old buildings carry their age well, though, and are sin gularly lacking In a depressing mu seum atmosphere. They are kept up and painted, and, above all, Uved in. About them hangs a jaunty air of char acter and usefulness such as you see In sturdy old people .who refuse to be shelved. The Kaufhaus (Merchants Hall) In the Munsterplatz. an amaz ing example of Late Gothic in bright red and gold, since it was begun, in 1524, has been a trading center for the Schwarzwald farmers. The flat-faced yellow Kornbaus, or Granary, across the square, with its enormous step gables and its red trimmings, was completed the year after John Cabot visited North Amer ica. Today, as always, it is the place where the market people store tlheir wares. The mellow buff building be side it, which was old Freiburg s or phan asylum, has become a very digni fied public library. Freiburg and the surrounding conn- try has the church to thank for Iaaa tries as well as for historic mon - ments. With the spread of Christianity, monasteries sprang JP all ove Schwa rzwald. Now, although Rhine valley plain is known as the “Garden of Germany,” the Selnvarz- waid is in an entirely different cate gory. Bordering the streams the slopes are steep, timber-covered, and not conducive to agriculture. The flatter uplands, as in our own New England states, were once ice- covered and are consequently stony and not highly productive. That the land was not capable of supporting a large population was early recognized by a law prohibiting the splitting up of farms among the descendants of their owners. In those days the land used to and still does go down to a single owner, leaving the rest of the family to shift for themselves. Famous for Its Industries. Soon the surplus population, scent ing a market for foodstuffs as well as for labor, settled about the monas teries in swarms, and the monks found themselves saddled with an Unemploy ment problem, which they solved so successfully that in time Schwarzwald industries became famous the world over. The occurrence of timber and abundant clean sand started the glass industry. During the Age of Discov ery the manufacture of glass for bar ter with the American Indians fanned this industry to fever tfeat. The exploitation of silver-lead veins opened up a mining district wt'ch was once lmportanteand which was worked until a few years ago. Water power led to gem-cutting. The house occupied by the Guild of Gem Cutters still stands, aid when Marie Antoinette passed through Frei burg on her way to France to marry the Dauphin, the burghers presented her with a thousand cut gamete. To day In nearby Waldkirch is a large gem-cutting establishment. This same water power has been used for nearly 200 years to run Freiburg’s silk-thread mills. Forests made lumbering, dock-mak- • ing (Schwarzwald clocks have wooden wheels), and woodcarving possible. Even in the Middle ages Schwarz wald timber-drivers delivered their log rafts as far away as Rotterdam. Sheep led to hat-making and weav ing, willows to basket-making; and the Schwarzwald peddler, carrying hats and cloth, baskets and clocks, glass ware and silver ornaments, was known at every door in Europe. Even now handwork goes quietly along on a small scale in the forest, as if there had been no Industrial revolution. In their own houses, men and women make clocks and -music boxes and furniture, as well as funny little wooden toys that delight the heart of the most blase and hardened child. Vineyards In the City. The monks also planted the first- known vineyards of the district. As far back as the Eighth century there are vague accounts of grape-growing and wine-making In Breisgau, but the earliest official record of such activi ties comes from the Holy Ghost hos pital in the middle of the Thirteenth century. The most distinctive note of the Frieburg wine industry is that some of the vineyards are actually a part of the city. In Colombi park, almost the center of town, .the sunny slopes are thriftily planted with vines that yield a particularly delicious wine, and the Schlossberg vineyards roll down to the Schwabentor. So that’s that for Freiburg’s roman tic past, which overlaps Its present so neatly that the seam hardly shows. It also carries us on to her claim to Jollity. This claim depends upon one’s standard of jollity. If you are a stu dent, you will find all ,that the heart could desire in the way of gaiety, typical college gaiety that doesn’t seem to vary' a hair’s breadth the world over. But if you are seeking sophisti cated night life, Freiburg will leave you cold; for it is essentially a univer sity town and a place of retirement for people of considerable wealth and position. The streets, down to the smallest, are immaculately clean, and during the warm weather flowers are every where—in the City Gardens, in the park along the Dreisam, In the open squares, and in rioting masses at all the windows, up to the tiny dormers high on the roofs.

The statement of the subject of this lesson is not quite satisfactory. His baptism and temptation were not means of-preparation, but were respec tively his formal entrance upon his work and the first conflict with the devil, whose works he came to destroy. I. Jesus Entering Upon His Mediatorial Work (Luke 3:21, 22). 1. His baptism (v. 21). In his bap tism we see the symbolic act of Jesus dedicating himself to the work of re demption through the cross, or the act of consecration on his Pa 11 to the work of saving the world through his death and resurrection. His baptism did not mean his obedience to the law of God, but his entrance upon the sacrificial work which on the cross of Calvary made a real foundation for full right eousness. 2. His anointing (v, 22), As he thU3 dedicated himself to the task of bring ing In a righteousness, he was anoint- with the Holy Spirit. 3. The heavenly recognition (v. 22). This act of devotion to the divine will was attended by the declaration of divine approval. “Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.” II. Jesus’ First Conflict With the Devil (Luke 4:1-13). Jesus went from the place of anoint ing and heavenly recognition as the Son of God to meet and to spoil the arch enemy (Heb. 2:14). Instead of the temptation, therefore, being a preparation for his messianic work, it was a demonstration of the insepara bleness of the divine and human na tures in the incarnation. It is to be noted that the Holy Spirit, not Satan, led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted. 1. The place (». I). It was In the wilderness of Judea. The first man, Adam, was tempted in a garden, with the most pleasant surroundings. The second man, Jesus Christ, was tempted ,In a barren wilderness, surrounded by Wild beasts (Mark 1:13). 2. The method (vv. 2-12). Christ as the world's Redeemer sustained a threefold relationship: the Son of man, the Messiah, and the Son of God. Therefore, Satan made each one a ground of attack. a. As Son of man (vv. 2-4). Satan made his first assault upon Jesus as a man by appealing to the instinct of hunger.. Satan urged him to use his divine power to convert a stone into bread. Hunger is natural and sinless. Real human life experiences hunger. The appetite of hunger was normal and right. The temptation was to sat isfy a right hunger in a wrong way. To have yielded in this case, though his hunger was desperate, would have been to renounce the human IimitaUons which he had taken for our sins. To use divine power to satisfy human needs would have been to fail as Sa vior and Mediator. To do right in a wrong way is to fail. b. As Messiah (vv. 5-8). Here the temptation was to -grasp his rightful dominion by false means. The devil offered to surrender unto. him the world, if he would adopt hls'method— worship him. The force of this tempta tion was In the fact that the kingdoms of the world are Christ’s by God’s cove nant with him. God's method by which Jesus was to possess the world was the sacrificial death on the cross. The temptation which Satan is placing upon the church today is to get possession of the world by other means than that bf the cross. c. As Son of God (vv. 9-12). Here Satan tries to induce Christ to presume upon God’s care. He quotes a messi anic psalm to induce him so to act. To do the spectacular thing In order to get publicity is to fall into Satan’s temptation. For Jesus to have placed himself in dapger In order to get God’s special help In delivering him would have been to sin. To test God as to whether he will keep a promise Is the greatest distrust; it Is to sin and fall. d. Christ’s defense (w. 4, 8, 12). It was the Word of God. He met every onslaught of the enemy with “It is written.” Onr defense is God’s Word. May every Sunday School teacher and believer know how to use it : e. The issue (v. 13). Satan was van quished. If we but trust God and use his Word,- we too can overcome the. devil. Burdens Bear your burden manfully. Boys at school, young men who have ex changed boyish liberty for serious business—all who have get a task to do, a work to finish—bear the burden till God gives the signal for repose— till the work is done, and the holiday Is fairly earned. The Best Way Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be. Custom will render it easy and agree: able—Pythagoras. A Few Spicy Dishes From the Old South New Orleans has always been fa- Aious for its cookery. It has an in dividuality which It owes to both the Spanish and the French who settled ill Louisiana. Although New Orleans is a great modern city, the architec ture in the old section shows the mixed influence of its ancestry. There are a number of famous res taurants in tills old city where you will find specialties. Many of them are Iiigliiy seasoned, some of them with herbs which are not used much In other parts of the country. You will enjoy the fine shrimps and the delicious crabs as well as the red snapper and the ponipano. The gum bo and the jambalaya will give you a full meal In one dish. Canapes a Ia Creole.

They suggest this is probably Ie- cause more winter-born babies have serious diseases that impair their constitutions.

MOCKSVILLEt N. C. News Review of Current Events the World Over Congress Opens and President Delivers His Message at a Night Session—Neutrality and Bonus Are Due for Speedy Action. By EDWARD W. PICKARD , © Western Newspaper Union. President CONGRESS began a session that gives promise of being, not short and calm, as administration leaders had predicted, but long and lively. Right at the start President Roosevelt caused the Republi cans to howl loudly by deciding to deliver his annual message on the state of the Union before a joint night session of congress so it could be broad cast at a time when the maximum number of American citizens could be beside their radios. This required a special rule In the house for without it that body can meet but once a day; and the minority leaders made no con siderable objection. But Chairman Fletcher of the Re publican national committee was so aroused by Mr. Roosevelt’s plan that he demanded equal time on the national radio chaiDS for a Republican reply. Mr. Fletcher was sarcastic In his com ments, saying: “The President’s decision to drama tize his message and to bring down to the level of a political speech his Constitutional right and duty to ad dress the congress on the state of the Union, is understandable in the light of past performances.” Senator Dickinson of Iowa denounced what he called “an attempt to use con gress as the sounding board for a grand stand play by the President,” but Senator Borah said he had no ob jection to the plan and no criticism to offer. Anyhow, the President went ahead with his program and in his message gave his view of the nation’s present condition, naturally holding that the New Deal was proving a success. TWO major issues that call for quick consideration by congress are neutrality and the veterans’ bonus. The existing neutrality law expires on February 29, and the President and his advisers have determined that a new law shall be passed which will give him broad discretionary powers with regard to shipments, loans and credits to belligerents. There is in congress a strong group, headed by Senators Clark of Missouri, Vandenberg of Michigan and Nye of North Dakota and Representative Maury Maverick of Texas, that demands extension of the present mandatory neutrality law. Presumably the new measure will be a compromise. Speedy passage of bonus payment legislation is expected, for its pro ponents are determined and vigorous. Officials of the American Legion, Vet erans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans bare just agreed on a bill which will include these pro visions: Immediate full cash payment of the adjusted service certificates.' Refund of interest paid on loans on certificates. Cancellation of interest accrued and unpaid. Provision that veterans who do not desire to cash their certificates may draw interest upon the maturity value thereof (less principal of loan, if any), to be paid thereon from a date to be specified. Provision for issuance of special government obligations In lieu of ad justed service certificates to the value of about a half a billion dollars now held as security by the United States life insurance reserves account Tbe veterans’ organizations esti mated their united proposal would entail a cash expenditure of approxi mately $1,000 ,000 ,000 , rather than the $2,200 ,000,000 generally accepted as the cost of payment SENATOR PAT HARRISON of Mis sissippi, chairman of the senate finance committee, on bis arrival In Washington for the opening of con gress gave out the welcome statement that no new general tax legislation would be pushed through during this session. Said he: "I don’t look for it and I don’t think it is In tbe realm of possibility.” Adoption of a man ufacturer’s excise tax was also “out” ac- cording to Harrisoa ®en- Harrison. He pictured an unusually short ses sion of congress with appropriation bills and amendments to existing leg islation the principal business to be handled. In the senator's opinion a compro mise on the bonus, always politically vexatious, would be reached and a presidential veto would be avoided. Harrison reiterated his opposition to the Townsend old age pension plan and said it would make no progress at the new session. Many house members agreed with Harrison as to taxes. It wouldn't be good policy to pass such measures this session,for there will'be elections In 435 congressional districts in 1936. Pat Harrison took a crack at the ' Liberty league and Its legislative pro gram offered to congress. The league, he said, was “ready to take over the legislative and judicial functions” of the national government and might be magnanimous enough to take over the executive branch as well. The sena tor called the league a “lobby” and de scribed its statements as “plutocratic propaganda.” NEW tax levies of more than $350,- 000,000 a year w&nt into effect on New Tear’s day, these being the result of delayed tax rates passed at the last session of congress. The heaviest is from tbe unemployment insurance and old age pensions act, which is expect ed to raise about $240,000,000 In taxes on Industrial pay rolls. Other new taxes include: Raising of Individual returns, $50,- 000 ,000 . Corporation tax boost, $40,000,000. Gift tax increase, $25,000,000. Intercorporate tax levy, $30,000,000. Revision of the personal holding company and corporate liquidation tax provisions of the tax program will in crease the country's tax bill. The Treasury department has made no es timate of such income. WHAT may be expected from El mer A. Benson, the new Farmer- Laborite senator from Minnesota, is indicated in a radio speech he made In Chicago on his way to the National Capi tal. He declared he believed that capital ism is doomed, and urged a much larger measure of p u b lic ownership and “pro duction for use rather than for profit.” "I am convinced,” he said, “that nothing short of social own ership of key indus tries can save us. Inasmuch as it has been demonstrated that we can pro duce enough for all if our productive plant is used wisely, society must takt ' over that plant and our financial sys tem as well and operate them in the interests of all the people because big business definitely refuses to do so.” Mr. Benson, who has been serving as state banking commissioner, was ap- pointed by Gov. Floyd B. Olson to com plete the term of the late Senator Thomas B. Schall. He will serve until December 31, 1936. He has been a Farmer-Laborite since the birth of that party and before that was active In the Nonpartisan league in Minnesota. Sen. Benson FRANELIN C. HOTT has resigned as federal alcohol administrator and his resignation has been accepted by the President with the usual ex pressions of regret. Mr. Uoyt cited his poor health and other personal rea sons to explain his action, but in hi: letter to Mr. Roosevelt he plainly in dicated that he was dissatisfied with the liquor control setup. MRS. EUGENE TALMADGE, wife of the governor of Georgia, has joined Alfred E. Smith In declining an Invitation to the White House. Mrs. Roosevelt asked her to be her guest the afternoon of January 8, the day be fore a meeting of the Democratic na tional committee in Washington. Gov ernor Talmadge,. a hot opponent of th< New Deal, was to attend the meeting, but his wife told Mrs. Roosevelt that her cotton plantation In Telfair county demanded her attention. “I have to get my farm started or the 1936 crops,” explained Mrs. Tal madge to the reporters. “The first few weeks of the year are a busy time.” NEW DEALERS speak scornfully of the Presidential poll conducted by the Literary Digest,, bnt everyone is eager to see what it reveals. The latest returns show a stltl further de cline in New Deal popularity. Out of a total of 1,370,774 votes received, 828,- 929 answered negatively the questior “Do yon now approve the acts and pol icies of tbe Roosevelt New Deal to date!” This brought the negative per- centage to the new high figure of 60.47 per cent. The last preceding percent age was 58.51. Eleven of the thirteen southern states continued solidly New Deal. Only Florida and Oklahoma voted against IL The twelve middle westerc farm states continued balloting more than 3 to 2 against the administration. The Rocky Mountain states, with the single exception of Utah, contrib uted substantial majorities-against the New Deal, as did four of the six New England states, which were voting 3 to I against Roosevelt TWELVE persons, nine of them pas sengers, perished when the Im perial Airways liner City of Khartounr crashed In the Mediterranean off Alex andria, Egypt The only survivor was Pilot Vernon G.‘ Wilson, who was -taken from the water In a critical con dition. Among the victims wa9 one American, James C. Luke of ‘ Phila- dephia, an oil engineer on his way from London to Basra, Iraq. The City of Khartoum, which had accommodations for 15 passengers and four inembers of the crew, had been retired from service! recently, but was recalled to replace a flying boat which burned In the.harbor of Brindisi FROM his field headquarters In Dessye Etnperor Haile Selassie sent to the League of Nations a vigorous protest against the war methods of the invading Italians. The emperor tharged specifically that Italian flyers, In raining explosives on the southern army of his son-in-law, Ras Desta Demtu, near Dolo, used poison gas and destroyed a Swedish Red Cross am bulance laden with sick and wounded. A special meeting of the Swedish Red Cross was held in Stockholm to lake action' In this matter. 9he Italian government in Rome as serted the aerial bombardment was fully justified by the alleged behead ing of two Italian aviators by the Ethiopians after the flyers had crashed rt Daggah Bur In Ogaden. The com munique also said it was well known hat “Ethiopian chieftains take shelter under Red Cross signs when they see Italian airplanes.” Fierce fighting was going on along the northern front In' Ethiopia. In Addis Ababa it was claimed that one of the emperor’s armies had scored a decided victory, but there was evi dence that others of his units had suf fered reverses. ’ D isp a tc h e s from Addis Ababa said reliable sources there dis closed the terms on which Emperor Haile Selassie had authorized his dele gation at Geneva to discuss peace. They were thus stated: Withdrawal of Italian troops from Ethiopia; recognition of the African empire’s sovereignty; payment of in demnity by Italy; delimitation of East African boundaries between Ethiopia and the Italian colonies by a league of nations committee, and foreign economic, administrative, and finan cial aid and advice for Ethiopia only on the condition there would be no Italian influence. DECLARING that all America Is menaced with violence by the Communists, the Uruguayan govern ment severed relations with tbe govern ment of Soviet Russia; Minister Alex ander Rinkin and his staff were hand ed their passports, and the Uruguayan charge d’affaires was recalled from Moscow. The decree, signed by Presi dent Gabriel Terra and all members of the cabinet, asserted that Montevideo was the headquarters of Communists who were plotting uprisings in all South America countries, and quoted the Brazilian charges that the abor tive rebellion there In November was instigated by the Soviet government and that the Montevideo legation was its intermediary. Dr. Jose Espalter, Uruguayan for eign minister, said: “We have proof that Montevideo was the center of a gigantic Soviet expan sionist plot and that Minkin was or ganizing a. revolution In Uruguay for next February or March.” Uruguay Is the only South American nation that recognized the Soviet Rus- sian government. . WITHOUT waiting for a ruling by the Supreme court on the valid ity of the Tennessee Valley authority act. Senator Norris of Nebraska, fa ther of that and mach; other advanced leg-: isiation. has prepared a bill for a Mississip pi Valley authority along the same lines as the TVA but Im mensely greater In' scope. He intends to Introduce the measure soon in congress. It would embrace more than half of continen tal United States, in cluding all the vast plain between the Allegbenies and the western continen tal divide and from near tbe Canadian border to the delta of the Mississippi; only the Tennessee valley would be omitted from the plan. Norris said it was an expansion of his former plan for a Missouri valley authority. Flood control would be Its chief goal, he disclosed, bnt it also would direct the development of navi gation, irrigation, hydroelectric power, soil conservation and reforestation. Like TVA it would be managed by a three-man directorate: Tbe cost is not stated. Congress wonld vote funds from year to year as the work progressed. X J OTEWORTHT among recent deaths ’ are those of Lieut Gen. Hunter Liggett, hero of four wars and leader of the American first army In France where be was second in command to General Pershing; and Harry B.

Oldest Bible Fragment Found in British Library May Have Been Written bv Saint John Himself LONDON.—Have scholars at last recovered some of the origi nal Bible record about Christ written by Saint John himself, author of the New Testament Gospel of St. John? Possibility that the extremely old Bible manuscript which has come to light In Rylands library, Man chester, may have this astonishing sig nificance is seen by an archeologist here, who Is keenly interested In the discovery. That the small fragment of papyrus Is the oldest New Testament manu script ever discovered Is agreed by British experts. Dates From Second Century. Suggesting additional importance for the ancient fragment, Sir Frederick Kenyon, former director of the British museum, and authority on Biblical re search, stated In an exclusive inter view: "I have little doubt that the frag ment dates from the Second century, possibly the early half. Allowing about a generation of time for making this copy in Egypt, one would suspect the Gospel written about the year 90 to 95 A. D. This does not exclude the possibility that St. John the apostle himself was the writer. “Naturally, the only way to date the fragment is by an examination of the ^writing, but several experts on ancient manuscripts are satisfied that it is correctly described." Written in Greek. How the ancient fragment reached Manchester, is not yet known, but it may have come from Oxyrhynchus, In upper Egypt, where sayings of Jesus were discovered In 1897. The section of the Book of John now discovered deals with Christ’s appearance before Pilate. It consists of verses in Greek from the eighteenth chapter—part of verses 31 and 33 on one side and verses 37 and 38 on the other,. It was written In book form, not In & foiled manuscript The fragment’s estimated age sets It 200 years earlier than the famous Codex Sinaiticus,: which is a Fourth century Greek Bible consisting of the entire New Testament and less than half of the Old Testament. It is also earlier than the Bible pages known as the Chester Beatty papyri, which have recently been coming to light in Egypt and acquired eagerly by British and American scholars. Leaves of this Bible manuscript are not generally believed to be earlier than 200 A. D. Dead Hearts Brought Back to life Aid Drug-EfEects Study ST. LOUIS.—H earts from dead men, revived and brought to life, are giving new knowledge of how to use the drugs that aid heart afflictions. Experiments wherein fresh blood was pumped through dead human hearts until they started beating free ly again have just been reported by Dr. William B. Kountz of Washington University School of Medicine here. The drugs commonly used to treat heart disease may be helpful, or harm ful, depending on the state of the heart, Doctor Kountz found. In the type of heart disease Doctor Kountz Investigated and reported to- the Southern Medical association, the small arteries of the muscle itself are closed. Blood therefore cannot get through to nourish the muscle and keep the heart at work pumping blood into the rest of the body. Physicians have lately been ,treating this heart ailment by giving drugs that would dilate the closed or dan gerously narrowed arteries, on the theory that widening the arteries would help to keep the blood flowing through them. They learned which drugs to use by studying the drug’s action on the heart arteries of experi mental animals. The use of tbe artery-expanding drugs In human cases of heart disease has, however, not been entirely satis factory, Doctor Kountz observed. His research seems to show why. In hu man hearts, he found, the state of the heart or the tone of the heart muscle is the chief factor influencing the flow of blood through the heart’s arteries. Doctor Kountz tried the effect of various common heart medicines, such as the nitrites, liver extract, theobro- min, digifolin and adrenalin, on the hearts he had revived. Their action Oh the heart was entirely different when the heart muscle was contracted than when it was relaxed. Nitrites for example, which ordinarily increase Ihe flow of blood through the heart’s arteries, Increased it still more when the heart muscle was contracted, bnt lost their effect entirely, when: the heart muscle was relaxed. Jungle Tribe Has Strange Ways With Brides, Killers Explorer Brings News of Venezuelan Life ■ PH ILADELPHIA.—News of a tribe that has strange ways with murderers, and stranger ways with brides, is brought , by Dr. Vincenzo Petrullo, anthropologist explorer of the university mu seum here just returned from leading an expedition into Venezuela. Protection of a powerful chieftain made it possible for the expedition to spend three months in actual contact with this little-known people, the Guajiro Indians, Doctor Petrnlio de clared In an exclusive interview. The expedition was conducted jointly by the university museum of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, Columbia uni versity and the Latin-American insti tute. A Guajiro Indian of high degree pays a great deal for his wife—whom he has never laid eyes'on, Doctor Petrul lo learned. Marriageable girls are kept locked up, seen only by their fam ilies. At the marriage ceremony, the bridegroom still does not behold his bride. Nine days later, he sees her for the first time by daylight, al though he has spent the nine nights after the ceremony with his wife, en tering and leaving the room In dark ness. ■Women “Going Modern." But even Guajiro women are going modern, for Doctor Petrullo was told that this marriage custom is slowly be ing broken down by the women them selves. N Guajiro methods of handling crime were also found unusual. If a mem ber of a Guajiro clan slays a member of another and friendly dan, it is the duty of the murderer’s own clan to execute him. No disgrace is attached to such an execution, and the clans remain friendly. Failure to deal out justice in this way, however, is a sig nal for sharp reprisaL The group vic timized by the murder sets out to kill the murderer’s entire family, except the children, whom they take as slaves. OriginaHy, Gnajiros lived by gath ering wild plants, bunting, and per haps some farming. Doctor PetruHo reports. But after Europeans brought horses, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats Into South America, the culture of these Indians changed. They are now pastoral, farming a Uttle when there are rains in their sandy, semi- desert country. When They’re Wealthy. A Guajiro measures wealth by the size of a man’s herd and flocks,’ said' the anthropologist, and these are ac quired chiefly for soda] display at funeral feasts. Thousands of animals may be killed to feed the multitude of guests at one of these occasions. Guajiro Indians never travel alone. A chieftain goes about with half a dozen well armed retainers, and If the trip is a long one and tbe chief very Important, this bodyguard may be increased. Important women like wise travel accompanied by large retl nues of servants and slaves. Columbia U. Takes New Step Toward ‘Painless Dentistry’ NEW YORK.—A new step to ward “painless dentistry” seems to have been taken by a Colum bia university professor here. The latest development Is the discovery of Dr. L. L. Hartman of a “desensitizer” that does away with the painful sensa tions during the necessary drilUng be fore a cavity in a tooth can be filled. The desensitizer which Doctor Hart man discovered after nearly twenty years of research Is a colorless fluid. Unlike other anesthetics which must be injected into the nerves or plugs of the teeth, Doctor Hartman's fluid is applied to the dentin, the substance which forms the bulk of the hard part of the teeth. It takes a minute or a minute and a half to take effect and the pain-killing effect lasts from twen ty minutes to an hour, giving plenty of time to prepare almost any cavity for filling, Doctor Hartman explained. There are no unpleasant after effects and the pulp of the tooth remains normal. The chemical composition of the de- sensitizer has not been announced and the fluid is stiU nameless. Patent' rights for It have been assigned by Doctor Hartman to Columbia univer sity. It will be on the market soon, and the quality and price will be con trolled by the university In order to make it available for general use. Even Greeks of Old Draink at Sport Events LOS ANGELES.— W hen uni versity presidents worry about drinking at modem football games and other sport spectacles they are struggling with a problem that had ancient Greete also losing sleep at night The.

Work ers engaged on excavations for the new great canal which is under con struction in the picturesque district surrounding Stra, came across what undoubtedly must have been the scene of a great battle in the days of the ancient Venetian republic. One of the many skeletons in ar mor was found to have a «word still between the ribs. Presumably the man fell in battle and has iain undis turbed all these centuries. Quanti ties of ancient weapons and armor also were found, together with beau tifully modeled vases which, when the centuries old dirt had been washed away, were founcf to be paint ed by hand with designs and figures, the colors being perfectly preserved.

T h e M an W ho K n ow s Whether the Remedy You are taking for Headaches, Neuralgia or Rheumatism Pains is SAFE is Your Doctor. Ask Him Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s 1 Well-Being to Unknown Preparations TJ EFORE you take any prepara- “ tion you don’t know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it— in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called “pain” remedies were advised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice.Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were codect. Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods get discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains1 . . . and safe for the average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at any drug store — simply by never asking for it by the name “aspirin” alone, but always saying BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy.

He was now ask ing how much she had laid aside and to her consternation she found she had almost nothing. “She was ashamed to face him. “What could she say 2 "She did not know what impulse prompted her to take the jewels. She had never stolen before In all her life. The diamonds had been constantly In her care and it had never occurred to her to appropriate them. It had been a sudden, mad temptation created by the need of money and she had yielded to It without thought. Scarcely were the gems in her possession before she regretted her action and longed to undo it. She would have taken them back had she not feared the conse quences. She begged Julien should not be told what she had done. If her crime could be concealed from him Che was willing to make any restitu tion I demanded. “Perhaps I was a sentimental fool. Anyway I simply could not see it my duty to hand the unhappy creature over to the authorities; destroy Jnlien’s faith in her; wipe out the future she had set her heart upon. I felt it given a chance she would make good. “Promising I would remain silent, I pocketed the gems and came away. “Whether I acted rightly or wrongly I do not know. “I suppose by this time the two are married and on their way to Franca I believe Corinne told the truth and that under other influences she will be come an excellent wife and mother. At least she has the opportunity. ■ “The other half of my tale—the half I neither foresaw nor planned—is fa miliar to you. “The fog that drove me out of my course; my subsequent shipwreck and Illness; the coming of Currier, our old ‘family servant; the chain of circum stances that brought upon me the calamities from which I have just ex tricated myself—these are an old story. The only thing that now re mains to clear my sky is for me to right myself with Marcia.” “That will be easy,” smiled Sylvia. “I wish I thought so,” was Heath’s moody answer. “Marcia is no ordinary woman. Her understanding and love are measure less. Love, Mr. Heath, forgives a great deal.” “I know it does. In that lies my only hope.” »»••••• She was not In the house when at ,last Stanley Heath overtook her, but ,far up the beach tossing driftwood jlnto the surf for Prince Hal to re trieve. The man paused, watching them. Hatless, her splendid body aglow ,with exercise, Marcia had the freedom and wholesomeness of a young ath lete. Tet with all her strength and inuscular ease, there was a grace un mistakably feminine in her every move ment When she turned and saw him, she ,uttered a faint cry, but she did not ad vance to meet him. Prince Hal did that racing np the beach, uttering shrill yelps of welcome as he came. A second and the dog was again at Marcia’s side, and in this ecstacy of ,delight he continued to run back and fprth nntll Stanley Heath had covered (the sandy curve that intervened and himself stood beside her. “Marcia—dearest—I have come back —come to ask your forgiveness. I misjudged you cruelly the night we parted and in anger spoke words I had no right to speak. Forgive me, dear! Forgive me! Can you?” “I forgave you long ago—before you asked,” she whispered. “Forgave without understanding— how like you! But you must not do that Tou have more to forgive In me than you know, Marcia. I have been proud, unbelieving, unworthy of a love like yours. I have made you suffer_ suffer needlessly. Listen to what I have to tell and then see if you can stf& forgive.” Turning, they walked slowly along the shore.’ “I could have told you about the Jewels and how I came by them at the outset had I not suddenly conceived the idea of teasing you. The plan to !conceal my story came to me as a form of sport—a subtle, psychological 'game. Here I was pitched without- ceremony into a strange environment among persons who knew nothing of Iby background. What would they make of me? How rate me when cut Off from my real setting? I resolved to try out the experiment Women are said to be inquisitive; particularly those living in isolation. My advent (could not but stimulate questions, (thought ’ i t would be an-, amusing ad venture to circumvent not only your CtuMilty but'also that of the village. - I placed scant dependence on fem inine discernment and constancy. “When I went to the war, I left be hind a girl who pledged herself to love and wait for me. When I came back it was to find her married to my best friend. The discovery shook my con fidence In human nature, and espe cially in women, to its foundations. I derided love, vowing I never would marry and be made a puppet of a second time. “The remainder of the story you know. “I stumbled, a stranger, into your home and instantly you set at naught all my preconceived theories of wom anhood by believing in me with an un reasoning faith. Tou asked no ques tions. You did not even exhibit a legitimate curiosity In the peculiar net work of circumstances that entangled me. Tou were a new type of being and I regarded you with wonder. "Still, I was not satisfied. I felt sure that if pressed too far your trust in me would crumble -and, therefore, I tried deliberately to break it down by throw ing obstacles in its pathway. When suspicion closed in upon me I put you to further tests by withholding the ex planations I could easily have made. It was a contemptible piece of egoism —selfish and cruel—and dearly have I paid for it. But at least remember that if I caused you suffering I have suffered also. “For, Marcia, through it all I loved you. I recognized from the moment I first looked into your eyes that a force mightier than ourselves drew us together—a force not to be denied. Nevertheless, so bitter had been my experience I dared not yield to this strange new power. Instead I opposed it with all my strength, giving my love reluctantly, fighting inch by inch the surrender I sensed to be in evitable. ‘You, on the other hand, had like myself known betrayal, but you had taken the larger view and not allowed It to warp or mar your outlook on life. When love came knocking a second time, you were neither too proud nor too cowardly to answer it, but freely gave your affection with the gladness and sincerity so characteristic of you. “I do not deserve such a love. “Beside the largeness of your nature my own shows ifself childish—a small, poor thing for which I blush. ’Help me to erase the past ‘I love you with my whole soul, dear. Everything In me loves you. My life Is worth nothing unless you share It. Will you? lAh, you need not fear, Marcia. Syl via has told me everything. Beloved, there Is not and never has been a bar rier to our marriage. We have mis understood one another. Let us do so no longer. “I am a free man—acquitted. Come to me and let us begin life afresh.” She came then, swiftly. As he held her In his arms, the last shadow that separated them melted away.*•*,*»* Under the glow of the noonday sun, they walked back toward the Home stead, hand in hand. Sylvia came running to meet them and, throwing her arms about Marcia, kissed her. ‘Everything Is all right—I ca'n see that,” she cried. “Oh, I am so glad— so glad for both of yon! I believe I just could not stand It If you were not happy, because I am so happy myself. Hortie is here, you know. Didn’t StaDley tell you? Why, Stan ley Heath, aren’t you ashamed to for get all about Hortie and me? Tes1 Hortie came this morning. We’re en gaged. See my ring!” ‘Ring!” repeated Heath. “Mercy on us, Marcia, you must have a ring. I cannot allow this young sprite of a niece to outdo you. I am afraid I was not as foresighted as Mr. Fuller, how ever. Still, I can produce a ring, such as it Is. Here, dear, you shall wear this until I can get something better.” He slipped from his little finger the wrought-gold ring with Its beautifully cut diamond. T picked this up In India,!’ he said. “I am sure'it will fit. Try It, Mar cia.” “I—I—do not need a ring,” murmured she, drawing back and putting her hands nervously behind her. “Of course you do,” interposed Syl via. “How absurd! A ring Is part of being engaged.” “A very, very small part,” Marcia answered. “Nevertheless, It is a part,” the girl insisted. “Come, don’t be silly. Let Stanley put it on.” Playfully she caught Marcia’s hands and imprisoning them, drew them for ward. On the left one glistened a narrow gold band. “Jason’s!” cried Sylvia. “Jason’s! Take it off and give it to me. Tou owe nothing to Jason. Even I, a Howe, would not have you preserve longer that worn out allegiance, neither would my mother. The past is dead. Ton have closed the door upon it. Tou said so yourself. Never think of it again. Tou belong to Stanley now—to Stanley and to no one else.” As she spoke, Sylvia took the ring from the older woman’s hand and held it high in the air. “The past is dead,” she repeated, “and the last reminder of it—Is—gone.” There was a gleam as the golden band spun aloft and catching an in- As He Held Her in His Arms, the Last Shadow That Separated Them Melted Away. stant the sunlight’s glory, disappeared beneath the foam that marked the line of incoming breakers. “Now, Stanley, put your ring upon her finger. It is a symbol of a new life, of hope, of happier things. Isn’t It so, Marcia?” ' - “Yes! Tes!” Sylvia drew a long breath. “There! Now we’ll not be serious a minute longer. This Is the greatest day of our lives. There must not be even a shadow in our heaven. Eiss, me, Marcia, and come and meet Hortie. Poor dear! He is paralyzed with fright at the thought of appearing into your presence. I left him hiding be hind the door. I could not coax him out of the house.” “How ridiculous! Tou must have made me out an ogre.” “On the contrary, I made you out an enchantress. I told him you would bewitch him. That’s why he became panic-stricken. Do be nice to him— for my sake, He really is a lamb.” Sylvia stepped to the piazza. "Horatio,” called she imperiously. “Come out here right away and meet your Aunt Marcia. And please,-Stan ley, forgive me for mistaking you for a bandit. Pm dreadfully mortified. Still, you must admit circumstantial evidence was stroDg against you. AU of which proves on what shifting sands rest our moral characters!” “Say rather our reputations, dear child,” Heath corrected.

Most Presidents came from the Law, they said. 7—He inherited certain statesman like instincts and the ability to mix well on necessary occasions. 8—After graduation he went into politics and his folks saw that he had the right sponsors. 9—He was soon looked upon as a rising young man in the affairs of the state and won a state senatorship In no time. 10—Everybody liked Oscar. He had a way with him. 11—After a few years he became governor and served with distinction and the attendant publicity. 12—Then they began to talk of him as a favorite son. 13—He looked like a cinch for the White House. 14—Then came the 1929 collapse and chaos. Oscar observed the troubles of a President with a considerable cool ing of bis ambitions. 15—But the party went on booming him until there seemed no way out 16—Oscar fooled them, however. 17—He suddenly quit the state and became a professional tester of experi mental parachutes over the Grand Oanyon. 18—He left a note saying that he figured it was less strain and worry. MORAL—Now and then you find a man who can sidetrack an ambition. • * ’ • * WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE SENTENCES? 1—The gas company made a mistake j<nd read the meter so that the customer benefited. 2—The middle-aged Iaay passenger on the ocean voyage did not make a fuss about the location of her steamer rtalr or ask which side of the boat was fhe sunny side. 3—“We can’t use a skit like that,” said the musical show producer, “it is Cito suggestive.” , 4—The newspaper editor refused to print another picture of Al Capone saying, “We have used him enouch.” 6—"You’re right,” said the baseball umpire when the pitcher disputed IlilDa *_The man who had planted his lawn with grass seed had no trouble at all keeping- the neighbors’ dome chtckens and children off. y—The sp.eakeasy proprletor showedgreat alarm when told that police were ta the ,neighborhood. • • e were CURIOUS FACTS FOR CURIOUS PEOPLE The happiest people in the world are members of a tribe in the interior of Africa. They have never heard of contract bridge. Ninety-seven per cent of all auto mobile owners never talk about testing the air in a spare tire until they have a blowout nine miles from nowhere. The average life of a sponge diver is 35,*78% dives. Statisticians have figured that less than % of I per cent of all men who go flounder fishing do so because they like it. They merely find it a good way to get away from their wives. George D. Phillersby, of Gadgetville, Mont, has a fountain pen .which has never failed him. The ancient Greeks did not know what strawberry shortcake was, which may account for their physical fitness. A straw hat blown off in a wind will roll under a truck in seven out of ten cases.

The program was made up of music from the Romantic and Modern perieds. A number of Mocks ville people attended the recital. We received two letters in Fri day’s mail.

Teaching tap dancing t o the Chesapeake Bay lcbstertren and clam diggers'. Giving conking lessons by radio to mothers of large families. Counting caterpillars on trees in several thousand country towns. Encouraging community singing and dancing. These are only a few o f the boon doggling schemes that are costing the government $250,000,000 a year Wouldn’t it be much nearer some sane level of statesmanship to cut off these millions—these biilions—beiJB raised from boondoggling and for Farleyizing the votes for 1936 and so reduce the price of p >rk. bread and potatoes ard givo father a ohance ti Iara hack at s ime decent figure 01 thn b* ss* piyrMii?

BEGIN THE New Year RIGHT B y Placing Your Advertise ments in The DAVIE RECORD The Paper That The People Read, For more than 36 years this pa per has been going into the homes of the best people in Davie coun ty. Many of those who don’t sub scribe, borrow their neighbor’s pa per, for when we make a mistake they are the first to tell us about it. Your father and your grand father read The Record and car ried their ads with us. There is but one business firm in Mocks ville today that was here when this paper was founded—C. C. Sanford Sons Co. They were among our first advertisers, and have contin ued with us for all these years. The merchant who advertises is the merchant who gets the most business. This fact was demon strated during the Christmas seas on. The local stores were visited frequently, and the ones who ad vertised were the ones who had to employ extra salespeople to take care of the rush. If You Haven’t Been advertising in your local pa pers in the past, why not turn over a new leaf and give them a trial. The cost is cheap and the results will surprise you. Write or ’phone us, and we will be glad to call and talk the matter over with you. NOTICE!

The Grange And The Sales Tax. ihe subject on which the recent annual meeting of the National Grange spoke most vigorously and unequivocally was the sales tax. It adopted the following resolution: Whereas, sales taxes have been promoted throughout the nation by big corporations and large proper ty holders, who seek to unload part of their taxes upon the masses of people with average means; and Whereas, these taxes have been sponsored under various titles such as saies tax, turnover tax, trans action tax. etc.; therefore be it Resolved by the National Grange that we re-affirm our strong oppo sition to sales taxes of every form, regardless of name, upon the neces sities of life and service. We op pose such taxes in plan because they place an unfair burden upon the masses to relieve the burden upon those able to pay. Our op position is not qualified by emer gencies or worthy propositions that may be advanced as recipients of the tax, for there are many other sources of taxation available such as income and inheritance taxes, where the taxes is based upon the ability to pay and not upon a nec essity of life. In the light of this statement of the position of the National Grange1 we wonder what the members of the Grange in North Carolina are going to do about the sales tax is sue in North Carolina Will tbey stand true to the principlesyqf their national "organization, or will’ they follow those politicians and their masters who are determined to make the sales tax permanent, if possible, in this Commonwealth? Discussing the action of the na tional convention on this issue, the National Grange Monthly says: •The actual meauiug of a sales tax was the more fully realized at Sacramento because of the new Sale8 tax enactment recently put into force tu California whtch was visible every time a person bought a meal, finding a sales tax assessment at tachment attached to every check. Probably on no other subject under present, consideration is the Grange more united than in its opposition to sales taxes of any form.” Is this journal speaking for North Carolina Grangers? If so. then the anti sales tax forces may expect powerful support for their cause in the rural sections ot the State when the time comes to nominate candi dates in 1936. --Winstou Journal.

The main item of study in tbis campaign to make people conscious of .the horrors of automobile accidents .' is nn article entitled “ And StidHen Death,” which is reproduced f$6m tbe Readers Digest. -U For the benefit of those who have not read one ot these pamphlets, here is an excerpt: A It’s like going over Niagara Falls tn a steel barrel full of railroad spikes. The best thing that can happen to you—and one of the rare things—is to be thrown out as tbe doors spring open, so you have only the ground to reckon with. True, you strike with as mnch force as if you had been thrown from the Twentieth Century Limited at top speed. But at least you are spared the lethal array of gleaming metal knobs and edges and glass inside the car. Anything can happen in that split second of crash, even those lucky escapes you hear about. Peo ple have dived.through windshields and come out with only superficial scratches. They have run cars to. gether head on, reducing both to twisted junk, .and been found uri hurt and arguing bitterly two. minutes afterwards.' But death was there! just the same —he was only exercising his'privilege of being erratic. - This spring- a wrecking' crew pied the door 'off a ’car wbicli had been .overturned down. ai»; em. b iuikm eat,.and^ driver; with only a scratch on his cheek.. But - his mother' was still inside, a splinter of' wood from the top driven four inches into her brain as a Tesult of her son’s taking a greasy curve a little, too fast. No blood—no horribly twisted bones - just a gray haired corpse still clutching her: pocketbook in her lap as she had clutched it when she had clutched itwhen she felt tbr car leave the road. On that same curve a month later a light touring car crashed a tree. In the middle of the front seat they found a nine months-old baby sur rounded by broken glass and yet absolutely unhurt. A fine practi cal joke on death —but spoiled by the baby’s parents, still sitting on each side of him ,. instantly killed by shattering their, skulls on the dashboard. If you customarily pass without clear vision a long way ahead, make sure that every-member of the par ty carries identification papers—it’s difficult to identify a body with its whole .face bashed in or torn off. The driver is death’s favorite tar get. If the steering wheel, holds together it ruptures his liver or spleen so he bleeds to; death- inter nally. Or, if. the steering. wheel breaks off, the matter is settled in stantly by the steering, column’s plunging through his abdomen. By no means do all head ou col lisions occur on curves. The mod em death trap is likely to be a straight stretch with three lanes of traffic—like the notorious Astor Flats ou the' Albany Post Road where there have been as many as 27 fatalities in one summer month. This sudden vision of broad straight road tempts many an ordinarily sensible driver into passitigJtbe man ahead. Simultaneously a driver coming the other way wings out at highspeed. At the last moment each tries to get into line again, but the gaps are closed.' As the •cayS'iii Ifttl are'^^c^fnto^S^Hitcb to ’capsize&r crt^h -fences, the; pass ers1 meet.' almosthead on, in a-swirl- ing, grinding '7Siilasii that' sends them caroming obliquely into the Poor Tar Heels. From time to time, North Caro linians’ breasts are made to swell with pride when they are reminded of some high place which which is held in the nation by their state. Thestate ranks high in good roads, good school houses, and many other public achievements which are a part of the common wealth of all citizens in !he state. Tar Heels generally live comfort ably and in good circumstances Our section was hit bv the depres sion less hard than most other sec tions, and we manage to take care of the comparatively few who ate in indigent stations of life. A survey of the state would disclose most of the citizens making an appearance of prosperity and living in good homes and maintaining their com munities in an appearance of thriv ing business and upkeep. Other states look upon North Carolina as an example in many of her publicly maintained institutions. However, in the face of all of that and in spite of the many immense corporations within her borders, there is one fact concerning our state which is hard for us to con ceive, and we are nonplussed to know why it should be true when ours is one of the leading agricul tural states and has a number of the largest manufactories of their kind in the world. Tbe puzzling fact is that North Carolina ranks next to the lowest in tbe United States in per capita alth In other words, there is >but onerother state-wbose -citizens would have less than Tar Heels in dollars for each man if all of the wealth in the state were equally divided among them. There are a lot of people here to divide tbe wealth between though. North Carolina Tanks twelfth in population —Statesville Record. YouMay Be Next. It is one of the human failing to regard with complacency efforts to over-tax or over-regulate the fellow next door. Most of us don’t stop to think that if such efforts are success ful, and the politicians get their hands on one business, some other business will be next in line for their attentions. •Possibly you favor higher taxes on gasoline. If so, then remember that it may not be long before we have higher or new taxes on the candy business, the tobacco business, the insurance business,- or whatever business you are in. Or, you may favor special punitive taxes against chain stores of one kind or another. The inevitable fol low-up of that will be special taxes against other types of stores. That has already been suggested in at least one state, where some of the backers of a special cbain-tax are casting longing eyes on independent groups of merchandisers. And so it goes. Once the trend starts, there is no end to special or class taxation. Your business may be free from it today-and get it the neck tomorrow.—Ex.

Since this is tne first year that Home Demonstration work has been attempted in Davie or Yadkin coun ty. Many inquiries have come to the office regarding the nature ar.d purpose of the work. Recently some friend of Home Demonstration work in the county wrote the editor of this paper and suggested that an ex planation of .Jhis work be publish so that more people may have a better understanding and more apprecia tion for the work that is being done through this organization. The in terest manifested by these questions and suggestions is greatly appre ciated by the Department. They augur well for .the future success and continuation of the work in your counties. The Home Demonstration work for both Davie and Yadkin counties was organized by the Extension Service of North Carolina for ten months, aa an experiment to determine the in terest the women and girls of these two counties might have in an orga nized study of Foods. Home Manage ment. Clothing, Home Improvement etc. AU literature, demonstrations lectures by State authorities, mater ials. and recipes are absolutely free to any woman in. Davie or Yadkin counties for the first ten months. If at tbe end of the ten months their interest justifies the continuation of the work, either or both countiee may appropriate one-third of the years salary of a Home Agent the other two-thirds being donated by .the State of N. C. and Jhe Federal G6vernmehf7WKehacmintycontri- butes to tbe salary of an agent the people of that county have the pri vilege of electing tbe agent of their choice. The work in. Davie and Yadkin counties was stated Sept 20th. Since then eight Adult Clubs and four 4 H Clubshavebeen organized in Davie county. Six Adult Clubs and six 4 H Clubs have been organized in Yadkin county. The 4 H Club work is done through the schools, and in the schools that dn not have Home Eco nomics training. The 4 H Club girls have selected clothing as their ma jor project for the school year. They first tgok up tbe study of patterns: Pattern making, pattern alteration, placing and cutting by patterns. Laser they will study materials, test ing for durability, suitable colors and designs for different types, what it means to bejappropriately dressed, and garment construction, aside from the training tbe girls get in project work the 4 H Club develops leadership, citizei.s'li), and sports manship by working together, play ing together, cooperating and achieve ing together. The adults Clubs were organized in communities where tbe most inter est and best attitudes towaird the work were shown. Other Clubs may be organized by request. The adult Clubshaveastheiraim to actively carry on a well-pianned Home Eco nomics program which will help the members with their problems in home making; to help them realize more fully that the professsion of home making is one of responsibility, demanding their best thoughts, shills and ideals. Home Demonstration work is practical and makes every attempt to meet the home maker’s needs. The women in the adult clubs are studying Foods and nutrition. The first demonstration given in tbe clubs was on the, school lunch. This dem onstration consisted of a study of sandwiches, the school lunch contain er, packing the lunch, and suggested school lunch menus based altogether on the needs of the' child from the standpoint of nutrition and health. The second demopstratioiu was on salads and salad' dressing.

On our way to Estherville last Thursday, Oct 31, we s opped to see a friend in High Lake township, Em mett county. We discovered how the corn-hog referendum was, con ducted in one township—the corn-hog committeemen visited each farmer of the township and labored with him to vote for the corn-hog program. The committeeman handed the far mer a ballot, and where possible got him to mark it for the corn-bog pro* gram. If the farmer was unwilling to do so, the committeeman Visited him again. If the farmer still held out he received a third visit." ;ThiB third visit was in most cases on Fri day night before the election on Sat urday. OneJor more farmers still declined to mark the ballot for’ the program, SBying he would vote at the polling place on Saturday. Then the committeeman informed the farmer that he would not have a chance to vote at the polls, as all the farmers had been seen and the polls would not be opened for voting. A few farmers visited the polling place on Saturday and found the place closed so had no chance to vote. The? elec. tion officials merely took out of their pockets the votes they had soured in their canvass of the township from house to house and counted them, and announced the result without the trouble of going to the polling place. f; If any person {desires to question those facts let him call on us fotvths proof and we will furnish it.

T When the Supreme Court killed the; NRA last spring President Rooseveit said that we had been set back 40 years, even back to the horse and buggy days. Instead of this prophesy being true we have less horses and. buggies today and many more automobiles than we had a year ago.

On Wednesday April 24. 1935, the death angel visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs Pearl Wooten and took as its trophy "Aunt Temp.” She had been in declining health for some time and suffered great pain Will ing hands did everything possible but Jesus knew best. She was one of the most loved women of this vicinity, and her death was a distinct shock to hundreds ot friends and acquaintances I had known “Aunt Temp” since a very small child. She seemed more like a relative than a friend, and was a very frequent visitor in our home and we all loved her so much It is so lonesome without her. No one can take her lace in the home, church or any. .tere. We miss her smiling face so much hut if we foi low in her footsteps and live a good life like she did, we’ll meet her a- gain some sweet dav where there is no tears and h. artaches. “Aunt Temp” was a consecrated Christian woman and verv active in church as sociations. She was indeed a good woman and was always willing to help her neighbors in the hour of sickness or death. To know her was to love her. :• I shall never forget that sad day when I sat by her bedside until the death angol took her home. It was early one morning. It was Buddcn. We shall always re member the day. For seventy-four years she toiled, but at last her work was done and surely she w as bles=ed. Shefaught the fight, h victory won, and entered into ret-t. As the days go by, we are reminded anew of the many things she used to do She smiled, she laughed and had her fun, until at last God called home. It is a glorious feeling and a lesson of Borrow and pain, then help us dear Jesus to be faithful to meet -‘Aunt Temp” again. MONA HODGSON, Harmony. Redland News.

UTLEY INDErEXDENCE of the Philippines n-as not assured when PresMeDt Roosevelt signed the new Islands’ constitution, prepared under the TydiBS-McDuffIe act, and turned It over to a committee of islanders last tptins. Altliough the act, lustily wel comed by Filipinos as the achievement c( victory in their never-ending carft- paten for independence, provides that all bonds betw een the United States and the tropical possessions in the sourti racific shall be severed once and for all on July 4,1945, after the islands toe tad ten y ears of practice in gov erning themselves, the feeling is grow- Ing that before those ten years have passed the Philippines will be ready, even anxious, to amend the agreement into something which will leave them more certain safety from dangers vhlch are becoming more apparent day by day. Meed, since the return of Vice President Garner and the large dele gation of senators and congressmen who visited the islands to attend the lnaa?uration of President Manuel Quezon, one question which has con stantly presented itself to them is: Do the Filipinos actually want Inde pendence? And the answer seems to be: Tes —and no. TIie desire of the “common tao"—the picker of coconuts, the work er on the sugar plantations, the la borer of the rice fields—is, as It has been for decades—INDEPENDENCE! “Independence” is set in capitals and followed by an exclamation point be cause to the Filipino of that level it is a cry. a political slogan, taught to 1-iin for many years by the politicians of .Manila, It is a catchword that rep resents to him democracy, freedom In a vague sense that it is something a little better than the poor lot he has Mw. It never occurs to him that inde pendence is possibly the thing that "ill prevent his enjoying “freedom” In the centuries to come. For grave dangers confront an inde pendent Philippine commonwealth that could easily destroy the very liberty the common tao associates with inde pendence. They are both political' and economic, both internal and external. Fear Japanese Invasion. The most imminent danger, as the svcrage American sees it, is the men ace of expanding Japanese' imperial ism in the Far East, ready to grab what it can in its need for room for a swelling population and for raw mate rials to feed its growing and efficient lMustries. The Philippines are 10,000 Wiles from the capital of the. United States, but only 300 miles from Asia. Most serious of the problems to the Filipino is the economic collapse that threatens when free trade with the Pnited States is cut oil. The Tydings- JlcDuiTle act provides that In the fifth year of the ten-year period before com plete independence is granted, Philip pine export products will have to bear a 5 per cent duty, which will be gradu ated L>ach year until it becomes 23 Per cent In the tenth year. Since 80 Per cent of Philippine exports now go to the United States, the dwindling of- Uie American market will begin to be M t in live years. There are plenty of reliable economists who hold that the economic breakdown will come before 1Wp1 unless the act is amended. Kor are these the only problems. Certain acts of the new government, Most recently the curtailment by Pres- dent Quezon of the powers Of the speaker of the assembly, have! been Pointed to by many as indications^? impending dictatorship. ‘ The recent Passage of a bill which would appro priate one-third of- all the money avail-' I f°r appropriation to the bull<£ JJfj^ an^ maintenance of an army' of i Aw, w‘*h a 500,000 reserve, has beeih' ailed In some. i’uflrters,‘'as‘: 'a step • ,J lr military fascism , «speciaUyuSincrei! citizens. Further danger to the exist ing government Is seen coming from tile fields far beyond the cities, in the form of uprisings of the agrarian population, which has been reduced to a pitiable peonage, and which may find itself unable to secure a living If the principal market for Philippine raw products is destroyed. Most disas trous revolutions begin not in empty heads, .but empty stomachs. First of the problems to be discussed officially in the United States will be the economic one, for President Roose velt is expected to call a trade con ference some time this year. Some thing may be done at that time to ef fect a revision of the tariff schedule which may be more favorable toward the islands. As it is, various estimates have It that the first duty to be imposed— only 5 per cent—will wipe out from- 37 to 63 per cent of the four-fifths of all Philippine exports which go to the United States. Take sugar, for instance. Under the Jones-Costigan act, the islands’ sugar quota is 1,045,000 short tons, and it enables the industry to make a good profit. But sugar exporters are loud in their insistence that with even a 5 per cent tax they cannot compete with Cuban sugar in the American market. Our Own Trade Suffers. The rule works both ways, too. The Philippines buy 30 per cent of all tex tiles exported by the United States. If tariff walls prevent the export of Phil ippine goods to America, it is hardly to be expected that the islands will protect our textile exports. All of the business will go to Japan. Japan has made terrific inroads on .our textile business; in 1932 we sold 81 per cent of the textiles imported by the islands; in 1933, 74 per cent; in 1934, 43 per cent, and in late 1935 only 23 per cent There is no doubt that the Philippine government would set up tariff barriers against textiles and other goods im ported from foreign countries, if we were willing to make equivalent con cessions. It must be remembered that we also sell the islands dairy prod ucts, canned fish, wheat flour and manufactured products—in fact, the Philippines are our ninth best cus tomer. Under the Tydings-McDuffle act we stand to lose virtually all of that trade.Many of the Philippine raw mate rials which now come into the United States duty free are profitable to this country, for they must be processed here, and therefore keep many indus tries going. Philippine sugar is- re fined here; copra is pressed into coco nut oil; cigars are taxed and distrib uted ; hemp fiber is made into rope and twine and distributed. Source of War Needs. One of the most important sources of war materials * is the Philippines. Copra furnishes coconut oil to make the glycerine th .t goes into high ex plosives, and the shell makes fine charcoaljthat is necessary in gasmasks. Hardwood and hemp are necessities in building and maintaining a navy The islands also have plenty of gooa Iron, chromite and manganese. It Is inevitable that In a war in the Pa cific, Japan would seize the islands In no time if they were independent of the United States. There are many able students Philippine affairs who will havey“° believe that Japan is . already taking over the Islands, anyway, although in the peaceable ways of^ommerce and industrial development insteadt tarv tactics. Be that as it may, there are Stui only about 25,000 Japanese in ffie islands, the most, out of a totaltilts id iauuo, w . __population of 13,055,220; there are ap proximately 71,000 Chinese, 7,700 Americans and 5,400 Spaniards. Jap anese make up- only .00151 per cent of the; total, population of the Philippines ; yet in Hawaii, where there is far.less wailing about them, Japanese outnum ber any other nationality.T=any «#t.ue _lriSome 85 per cent ot. the- Japanese In- the • archipblago live, in a ‘colony of ' the province of . Davao on the-, island OfiMInti anao, .where they dominate the 1Sof abaca,: from which hemp - ■— ^fJipipncyPulsory miiitary training of ^ - and industry are rapidly taking ad vantage of the richest soil of»the is lands to assume the leadership of the hemp industry, which the Philippines alone possess. The Japanese have improved roads In the hemp country, introduced mass- production methods, and installed ma chinery to strip the hemp fiber from the trunk of the abaca plant. They have Introduced co-operative market ing direct to the shipper. Contrast this with the Filipino native who chops down a plant, carries home the trunk and strips oft the fiber by hand—a back-breaking job, dries it in the sun, shares it with his landlord and gets a poor price for what is left, and It Is easy to see why the Japanese colony controls 25-per cent of the total hemp production. Japs Control RTetaiI Trades. The same superior business methods have enabled the Japanese to corner a large and ever-increasing share of the retail trade in the cities of the archi pelago. One estimate, probably high, puts 40 per cent of all the retail busi ness of the islands under Japanese con trol, with Americans and Filipinos holding 35 per cent and the Chinese 25 per cent or less. • Inability to compete with Japanese industry is but one of the things that has made’ of the Filipino farmer a peon. Another is the evil of the ap portionment of land. Much of the land in the islands consists of a few great units held by the Roman Catholic church, which refuses to sell it, and by a handful of wealthy Filipinos. For this reason, a large share of the farmers are tenants, share-croppers who have no opportunity to acquire their own land, and are often ex ploited by the land owners. Even the Filipino who does own the small strip of land he works is often a share cropper. He obtains seed loans at the almost unbelievable Interest rates of 10 to 20 per cent, compounded every month, and by the time he has repaid enough in crops to cover his debt he is Incky to have enough to provide for himself and his family. Political campaigns have taught this peon to believe that the answer to the ills fro» which he suffers is independ ence, and his hot desires for his rights have often provoked him to actual acts against the government In Manila. An example was last May’s uprising of many thousands of Sakdal peasants in the areas where landlordism exerts its tightest grip. They marched upon the capital city and formed a ring around it. and they were dispersed only after-60 of them had been killed. Build Army for Defense. Undoubtedly one of the reasons for the large army the Quezon govern ment is building is the danger of fur ther argrarian uprisings. However, the chief reason is the need for defense of the, Islands against invasion. It is admitted that an army of 19,000 , with 500,000 reserves, would not be sufficient to save the islands from conquest by one of the major powers, but Quezon points*out that it is a big enough army to make such a conquest so expensive that It would not be worth the trouble. The army Is going to be so expen sive that It might seriously embarrass the government financially. The $8,- 000,000 annually .required to support it (a figure which would be rock bot tom) is one-fourth the total national Income. Sinye the army is to be cre ated under the direction of Gen. Dopg- Ias MacArthur1 former chief of staff of the United States army, it may be expected to function efficiently, how ever.As it has been pointed out, there is much ground for the contention that the Philippines actually do not want independence because they don’t know what independence means.When and if t h e Philippine people decide that they had better not give up the protecting wing of the United Stktes for their dream of independ ence, the' problem resolves itself In?, to this: ijfe we.want.the islands back? ‘ Thit will be' determined perhaps riot I Sb’ much by our desire to retain om ‘ ninth largest', customer abroad as by our general: ^ar Eastern policy. © WeMeratfewa^ifler Union* I Records of World’s Nota bles Are Encouragement to Today’s Youth.

U BRISBANE THIS WEEK. AAA Is No More Who Will Pay Now? Only 11 Can Run Fast The State of the Union The Supreme court decision reject- feg AAA, the “agricultural adjust ment act,” affects every American di rectly. Issued just as the President announced his pro gram to balance the national bud get within one thousand million dollars, the decision upsets that admin istration program. Men with large incomes, of whom few survive, may worry, for the de cision takes from the government sev en hundred million a year of proc essing taxes that will have to be made good elsewhere. The manufacturers’, or processing, tax, handed along to the little people, was, in reality, a sales tax on life’s necessities—cotton cloth, dour, meat Arthur Brisbane The question is, Who will provide cash promised the farmers, since the Suprenie court will not sanction the sales tax, disguised as a “pross” tax? Whence will come the hundreds of millions the government owes to fann ers under its AAA promises and has not yet paid? The farmers did their part, the government could hardly fail to do its part by paying. International News Service sports department shows that out of about 1,800,000,000 human beings on earth only 11 are known that can run a mile at really high speed. Of these not more than four would have any chance of beating an individual named Glenn Cunningham of Kansas. You would think that the billion un known uncounted among the so-called “backward races,” many with native energy, free of civilization’s handicaps, could easily be trained to beat the 11 fast ones, but it is not probable. The President’s address “on the state of the Union" was, like nearly ill Presidential speeches, an address on the state of the administration. Discussing danger of war, if it is true that “85 or 90 per cent of all the people in the world are content with the territorial limits of their respec tive nations,” that would leave only 10 or 15 .,per cent of the aggressive type. IAoyi George, playing a little poli tics with his friend Prime Minister Baldwin, exults In the noble moral uprising of the British, rejecting the teirlble. Immoral plan to divide Ethi opia and placate Italy. Something “without precedent.” LIoyd George calls it Where England is concerned, “divid ing up” Is. Indeed, almost without precedent. England’s custom as a rule Is to swallow things whole, as she did with the Transvaal. India, and other territories that have kept her old fight ing flag always In the sunshine. The Methodist Episcopal church is proud to announce in Nashville, Tenn., that It begins 193(5 with 2,783,269 reg- plarly enrolled members, an increase Over the preceding year of 31,298, with 21,361 baptized infants not included. This is the reply of the Methodist Episcopalians to the “high church” Episcopalians' of the English church that suggests giving up Protestantism altogether as a failure.

In the morning the unfortunate girl was found in the man’s car in a garage,' dead, horribly mistreated and beaten to death.

News Review of Current Events the World Over Supreme Court Finds AAA Unconstitutional—Democrats Pick Philadelphia for Convention—Bonus Measure Is Pushed Through House. By EDWARD W. PICKARD © Western Newspaper Union. Chfef Justice Hughes SIX Justices of the United States Supreme court, including Chief Justice Hughes, joined In an opinion that killed the Agricultural Adjust ment act Three as sociate justices, Stone, Brandeis and Cardozo, dissented. The major- Jty decision, read by Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts, held that the AAA was wholly unconstitution al because it invaded the rights of the states In seeking to control farm production. The whole system of proc essing taxes Imposed to finance the program was swept iBto discard. ' Not only are the processing taxes Illegal but the court apparently de clared the farm benefit contracts void and put up bars against any attempt of the federal government to regulate farm production by whatever means. Senators and representatives who .Immediately began planning legislation to continue benefit payments to farm ers and to balance agricultural output did not seem to grasp the full signi ficance of this part of the decision. The court said flatly that regulation of farm production is not within the scope of the federal government and of its powers to accomplish this, nor can It purchase adherence to a control scheme by federal payments. The decision destroyed not only the original AAA but also the amended act of the last session of congress. The dissenting opinion held that the AAA was a legitimate employment of the power to tax for the general wel fare. It attacked the theory that the preservation of our Institutions is the exclusive concern of the Supreme court and suggested that under the majority decision the unemployment work relief act is unconstitutional In his budget message President Roosevelt included revenue from processing taxes, so the Supreme court decision had the effect of throwing the 1937 budget'Still further out of bal ance by something like a billion dol lars. IN HIS speech at the $50 a plate Jackson day dinner in Washington, President Roosevelt declined to com ment on the Supreme court decision killing the AAA. “It is enough to say,” he said, “that the attainment of jus tice and prosperity for American agri culture remains an immediate and constant objective of my administra tion.” Secretary Wallace called into con sultation at Washington about 100 rep resentatives of farm organizations to try to formulate some plan for speedy legislation to supplant the discredited law. Assurance that farmers who have fulfilled contract agreements would be paid was given by President Roosevelt when he advised administration lead ers in congress to push through a $250,000,000 appropriation. Clarification of the status of $1,200,- 000,000 paid In taxes by processors was expected when the court decides the eight rice processing tax cases ar gued recently. Legal experts In con gress said an act of congress would be required if the $979,000,000 In processing taxes paid into the treasury are to be refunded. Au c tio n e d oft to the highest bid der, the Democratic national con vention of 1936 was sold to Philadel phia by the party's national commit tee. The price was $200,000, plus some prizes and concessions. Chicago and San Francisco> also bid for the conven tion. -The former offered a certified check for $i50,000. The California city made the same bid and later raised it to $20%500. During a brief recess Chairman Far ley telephoned, presumably to the White House, and Vice' President Gar ner movedamohg the members of the. committee urging the selection of Phil-: adelphia. Therefore the City of Broth erly Love won the prize. The opening of the convention Was set for June 23, two weeks after' the Republican con vention in Cleveland. has asked the Rlinols Manufacturers’ association and the Chicago Associa tion of Commerce to support his oppo sition to it As a substitute for the general neu trality law proposed by the President, Senator Lewis advocates enactments granting the chief executive authority to issue regulations placing embargoes upon shipments of commodities which would threaten American neutrality, but stipulating that these regulations should be submitted to the senate for acceptance or amendments. NO TIME was lost In putting through the house the bonus measure that had ’ been agreed upon by veterans’ organizations and ap proved by the Ways and ■ means com mittee. It carries the name of the Vinson-Patman-MeCormack bill and Is a compromise that authorizes imme diate payment Of the bon-Js but offers no definite' plan for raising the money. It would provide 3 per cent interest until 1945 for: veterans' refraining from cashing their - adjusted service certifi cates at once, and cancel ail interest still due On loans on the certificates. ft* WITH the obvious intention of building up public sentiment in favor of the special brand of neutral ity legislation he desires, Senator Nye bad before his senate munitions committee for several days J. P. Morgan, Thomas W. fe 4SSt ** Lamont and other ,W ‘ I members of the great Morgan banking com pany. Nye and Ste phen Rauschenbusch, investigator for the committee, sought to prove that the United States was drawn into the World war by the loans made to the allies by Mor gan & Co. and its associates. The tes timony concerning these loans and their implications was long and com plicated. The financiers were well pre pared for the inquiry and were armed with a great quantity of documents, and though there was a good deal of acrimonious talk, Mr. Morgan ap peared entirely unperturbed. J. P. Morgan BUTRAUTY legislation' desired by the administration does not meet with the approval .of Sehgtor James Hamilton Lewris Of-Rlinbis Who/ though a loyal. Democrat, Is sometimes op-: posed to "measures.' fostered by 'tiie rT^reMdent, He says the Iaw hhder cOhH sfderatlbh in senate.arid hquse oommit-' tees would close Ihe markets of the Middle West to world commerce, and President Roosevelt WHEN the delegates to the naval conference in London resumed their deliberations .Admiral Osami Na gano, chief representative of Japan, firmly repeated his demand that Great Britain and the United States concede the parity claims of Japan as prelim inary to any agreement. This attitude stopped ail discussion of the British, French and Italian proposal for ex change of information about naval building plans and threatened the con ference with early collapse. The crisis was so serious that Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden Himself took a part Jn the affair, calling the Japanese to his office Jn an attempt to induce them to adopt a more conciliatory attitude. Japanese spokesmen declared they were interested first and last in the total tonnage question—under which they demand equality—and were not at all interested in other aspects ^of naval limitations. SURROUNDED by klieg lights, mi crophones and movie cameras, President Roosevelt stood before the senate and house in night joint sessloD and delivered what was nominally his an nual message on the state of the nation. Actually it was not that at all, but a statement concernine the warfare and in ternational distur bances on the other continents, followed by Wbat the press generally considered an eloquent and mili tant political speech addressed to the people of the Unitbd States, who by the millions were listen ing In on their radios. Partisan opin ion of his message is perhaps worth less. Of course his supporters praised it highly, and his opponents were equally' emphatic In derogation. Democrats and Republicans alike commended the President’s, opening paragraphs In which he boldly con demned the aggression of Italy and Japan, though without naming those nations;'and there Was Uttlo dissent from his assertion that the United States must maintain its -neutrality While seeking to “discourage the use by belligerent nations Of any and all American' products calculated to facil itate the prosecution of a war In quan tities over and above our normal ex ports to them In time. Of peace.” The remainder of the message, de voted to domestic affairs, was devoted chiefly to a belligerently worded de-' fense of the New Deal measures of Ihe administration, an attack oni those Who OppOse them and a spirited passage in which Mr. Roosevelt defied and dared his critics to move for the re- peal of those measures .instead ’ of “hiding their dissent in a cowardly cloak of generality.” In only two' paragraphs did the President dwell’on “the state of the nation;” In these -he' aald that after nearly-three years of the NCw Deal national income’ is increasing, agriculture and industry ate "returning to full activity,” add “we approach a balance of the national 'budget.”,- .

S J g S f i ' j j ’f , i i i l t i K S l Washington. —President Roosevelt has told congress that he wants it to finish its labors anaExpect adjourn In short Long Session order. He has fig ured that about three months ought to give the members suf ficient time to mull over the problems that confront them and that they then should return to their several homes. But the President is doomed to disap pointment if he sincerely believes that he can get congress out of the Capital by the end of March. The best guess right now Is that the congress will be in session at least four months and, It is well within the range of possi bilities that it will remain in-session almost to the time of the -national conventions. There are a number of factors that make realization of the President’s early adjournment wish impossible of realization. Probably the most influen tial of these is the fact that this is a campaign year. Every member of the house and one-third of the senate, along with Mr. Roosevelt himself, are affected by the election date and poli tics must have its turn. Every four rears this same condition, obtains and every four years politicians do about the same things In furtherance of theit own political interests. The bulk of the legislation to be considered has its political tinge. Politics even creep into the annual appropriation bills— and usually the result is a swelling of the totals in order that some gears of individual political machines may be oiled just a bit for smooth running in the campaign. ' . While the appropriation bills are im portant from a political standpoint their weight In this session of con gress sinks rather below par because there are such things as the bonus for the World war veterans, the Town send old age pension plan, various New Deal reform measures and such replacement legislation as may be necessary since the Supreme court kicked over New Deal propositions like the Agricultural Adjustment act with its processing taxes and sundry other schemes. HowOver the Roosevelt lead ers In congress may desire to act, the machinery of legislation can be run only so fast-In an election year. Ofie of the chief reasons why a con gressional session in an election year drags on longer than Seek usual is because of Publicity the publicity value the sessions have for individual representatives and senators. Members of congress discovered a hun dred years ago that the chambers of the house afid senate constituted splen did sounding boards for the dissemina tion of political views. There has beeen increasing use of this poten tiality as the years have gone by until now the older members of the house 'and senate have become very adept' in capitalizing on this factor. It takes no stretch of the imagination to discover that a senator or representative, speak ing from the floor of his respective chamber, gets much more publicity than his opponent back home who talks 'only as a private citizen. It 1$ per fectly natural, therefore, that those members seeking re-election want to. take full advantage of the publicity vehicle available to them In Wash ington. * The use. of this publicity weapon is available to opponents of the New Deal as well as to its supporters. While the approaching election may be expected to knit the house Democrats more closely into a unified front for the November election, the same con dition Is not true In the senate. In that body, there are a number of oid- Hne Democrats who do' not like the New Deal and who are going to utilize every available opportunity to make their record as Democrats as complete as it Is possible to do before they‘must speak to tiie-home folks In person, it is obvious that such men as Senator Carter Glass; of '-Virginia, cannot de- Sert the Democratic ticket and run for re-election independently. So it is to be expected that men of this type Will- estabiish for themselves si qjjmprehen- stve outline of their political beliefs as Democrats While dlstinguishine their position from that known as the New Deal They must look to the fu ture when, according to ail indications" they feel the party machinery will again be controlled by the Jeffersonian type of Democrat instead' of by the reform type of Democrat headed ’ bv men . and WomOn With the New Deal outlook. ’• • . • ^xvs^st.vsxgi: Factors sons of; Senator Wll- Idaho and Arthur f t y L M ® of' Michigan..

It is only natural and logical as well that the Republican minority In the house and senate will seek to foment as much debate as possible In order to obtain a record of what the majority party thinks or proposes to do if re- ’ turned to power. In all respects, the session will be the most political, th-refore, since Mr. Roosevelt took office. His Presidential message on the state of the Union al ready is being kicked back and forth and picked to pieces In the preliminary campaign gunfire. There is simply no Way by which tbis situation can be avoided. The opening of congress was the opening of the 1936 cam paign.• • • In an earlier letter, I reported to you concerning the question of a neutrality policy and Congress declared at that time May Stall that it was the most important item to come before the current session. It re mains so. I believe the situation is even more delicate than in my earlier anaylsis of this problem and it may well be that congress will stall along in reaching a decision on this policy In order to give foreign developments an opportunity to manifest themselves fur ther. The administration apparently Is willing to let congress work out the legislation without much interference but the leaders realize that a decision will be difficult as long as foreign maneuvers continue to present an al most daily change in the scenery. Reference is made to the neutrality question here because it is one of the things entering into the combination that Wiir cause a longer session than the President wishes. There seems to be no doubt that passage of a bill to pay the soldiers' bonus at an early date will be accom plished In this session. Likewise, there is hardly the shadow of a doubt that if congress passes such legislation and Mr. Roosevelt vetoes it, the bill will be passed over the veto. It is a cam paign year and it is not a good time for politicians to antagonize an or ganization with the vast membership of the. American Legion or the other groups, of ex-service men; This legis lation will not contribute much to the length of the session but In all such cases representatives and senators must make their speeches and be on record as to why Jhey voted for or against a biIL The Townsend plan cannot get any where in the current session. I do not mean that it will be dodged as a subject of discussion. This is impos sible. There will be plenty of debate on i t In the end,-however, it will be sidetracked. Then, there was a flock of infla tionary schemes due to hOm in on the parade as the session moves forward. Farm mortgage refinancing is one of them. It is unfortunate that the in flationists—those who are willing to prostitute the currency In any manner —are leading in this fight • * * In all probability, also, the current session of congress will be called upon- w . . to meet some prob- rVaitmg iems resulting from Decisions adverse decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States. The court has be fore it any number of cases involving New Deal policies, Including such hs the AAA, the TVA with its Tennessb Valley poWer yardstick, the attempt to regulate wages and hours of labor-un der the Guffey coal'bill known as the Little NBA, and a half dozen-other policy propositions. It seems unlikely, although no one can guess, that an of these measures WiU be held constltu- HonhL If any are held Invalid, nat urally the President will ask congress to draft new legislation. As a sample of the political, aspect of the current session, one can sight the furor that was stirred up when President’ Roosevelt delivered his mas sage on the state of the Union to a night session of congress. Except for one instance, Presidents always have deUvered or, sent their message to com- gress .at noon of a day after the session hashadtwoorthreemeetings.

Vlhy do people come home from a hospital with bowels working like a well-regulated watch? The answer is simple, and it’s the answer to all your bowel worries if you will only realize it: many doctors and hospitals use liquid laxatives. If you knew what a doctor knows, you would use only the liquid form. A liquid can always be taken in gradually reduced doses. Reduced dosage is the secret of any real relief pom constipation. Ask a doctor about this. Ask your druggist how very popular liqmd laxatives have become. They give the right kind of help, and right amount of help. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains scons flnfI cascnrs —• both natural laxatives that can form no habit, even in children. So, try Syrup Pepsin.

Heat, so intense that it seemed to be fluid, poured over them. The sound of the speeder's motor and the clatter of its wlieels bn the uneven rails was almost drowned In the raging voice of the fire; and Tod, an arm around him, holding him close as they rocked and sivayed down the grade, was trembling. But he wasn't going to cry, even if he was more scared than he ever had been in his seven years of experience. Not much, lie wasn’t! He hugged the precious letter-flle with old Jack's pay roll in it closer, and tried to look ahead; and when .he saw living flames from the burning cars of chemical iwood swept across the track like a cur tain, he threw himself flat and squeezed his eyes shut and held his breath, and did not complain with so much as a grunt when Tod's big body, sprawling suddenly over his small one, blade his ribs bend out of shape. No, sir! This was no time to act like a bahy! Headquarters was going, sure enough, but they were getting good old Jack's money out to safety. That was his job; to help save good old Jack from going bust. When you’ve got a Job like that, for a man like that, you can’t let on you’re scared, can you? No; not even at seven, you can’t I He bad been ontside the office, stand ing in the deserted camp clearing, star ing off up the road which Jack and the crew had taken before daylight, and where the cook had just gone with dinner for the fire-fighters, when the bookkeeper called to him. "Listen, Kerry,” Tod had said. “I want you to sit right here until I call you or come back. Wind’s getting ' This .Was »4o Time to Act Like I a Baby. Worse. They had her stopped last night, but you never can tell when fire’ll stay stopped, weather like this,” His big, ordinarily good-natured face ftvas white, and fine beads of moisture pricked out above his eyebrows. “Sure," said Kerry Young, and swal lowed, his heart going faster with Tod looking so scared. “Now, listen careful. I took the pay- .TOll out of the cash drawer, see? It’s In this letter-file—this one, right here.” He laid his hand on the brown box on top of the safe. Another file was on the desk, and more on a shelf above It; but Tod put his hand right on that special one. ‘Tm goin’ out to scput around. Xf anything happens, it may happen fast. The speeder’s right on Uie track, now—right by the water- tank, there. If I yell, you bring the file and come a-runnin’. Understand that?” “Sure, Tod,” said Kerry, and swal lowed again, even if his mouth was ■drier than ever. “Good boy! Everybody’s got to do JiIs part, time like this. I’m uneasy about the wind. Remember, now; .If I ' yell . . .” He went out then, and Kerry Sat flown on a chair with his breath flut- tery in his throat Responsibility sat heavily on his small shoulders, but he’ll do just what Tod had told him to do. That pay-roll was old Jack’s money, and he’d break his neck to help old Jack, he would! Good old Jack, whd had found him in the house the day before his mother died, and got the doctor and did all that he could do; and who, after it was all over and be was alone, brought him to camp. That had been winter before last, and It looked as if he was going to stay with Jack forever. He certainly hoped so. Nobody In the world could he so kind to- a little boy who had nobody else -to Jook out for hlm-as could old Jack, and breaking your neck for. a man like = that would be little' enough to do/ ' I; Jack had been so worried since the fire started) day before yesterday! ..'He had been In town when it came up, and had come back, driving the engine himself, snaking the empties over the steel At to shake the stakes out. He had given her the air so hard that the whole train slid, streaming fire from every wheel, and then, jumping down from the cab, he came running fast as be could for the office. The crew was ou the fire then, of course, and old Jack’s voice, generally so good-natured, was sharp as a knife when be questioned Tod who was tele phoning for more wardens. Jack stuffed the payroll money into the safe as he talked, and then, telling Tod certain things to do all in one breath, he jumped into the waiting buckboard and galloped to the southward, where a mile-wide front of slash fire advanced toward camp. Kerry waked up when Jack came In that night. Their room was next the office, with a big bed and a little one; and he lay in his little one and looked through the open doorway and saw Jack standing by the desk, shirt all scorched, hair singed, talking lowly to Tod. It was bad, he said. He’d brought half the crew in to get some rest; he’d turn In himself and try to catch a wink, because with all that chopping afire, tomorrow was going to be hell itself. ; . . And tomorrow was, with the tele phone ringing and help from town com ing through all day, and the smoke thick and thicker, and logging wholly forgotten in this emergency. But at breakfast this morning, eaten before the first crack of dawn. Jack had said: “We got an even break, now. We’d ought to hold her, but you never can tel). Why, yesterday, some of them damn’ birch stubs got burnin’ clean to the top, ’nd I’ll bet they was throw- in’ live brands half a mile ahead of ’em.” “And they might go further than that,” Tod West commented. They might, another said; not likely, but still they might and then Jack pulled Tod to one side where nobody but Kerry could hear and said: “Since this tiling broke I’ve thought no more about pay-roll than the boys have about pay day. Shows I’m gettin’ old. You’ll be here, Tod. Somebody with a head on 'em’s got to stay ,by the telephone again. It ain't likely she’ll get away from us. If she does, it ain’t likely she'll get clean to camp In a hnrry. But if anything should happen, you get that pay-roll into town. Silver's all right, but it’s mostly bills 'nd bills’d burn sure in that old safe of mine.” “They sure would,” agreed Tod. Then Jack had looked at Kerry. “Be good boy, son!” he said cheerily, as if he were only going out on the job and not to a fire line. . “Be good boy," —and tweaked Kerry’s ear playfully. ‘And him,” he said to Tod, suddenly sober and jerking his head at'the lad. “Twenty-two hunderd, small as it is, ’d bust me right now, so get that out if anything pops. But him . . . If you get a chance, send him into! town anyways.” . . . So Kerry knew that Jack thought more of him than ,he did of going bust He sat there a long time, feeling im portant. It wasn’t much that he could do for Jack ever, but now, watching that file, he knew that if fire should come into camp he’d grab that box and get to the speeder faster than he had ever gotten anywhere before in his life. He rose finally and looked through, the window toward the water tank where the speeder waited. Tod West was just then coming up from the ald ers along the creek, looking around in a funny way, as if he expected to see somebody or something alarming and Kerry, for the moment, almost hoped that the bookkeeper would see fire so he would have a chance to do something for good old Jack. But when, only minutes later, he heard Tod bawling his name, his heart went flippety-flop and almost choked him. ‘Kerry! . . . Kerry! . . . A-runnln’, Kerry I” And he was running desperately, hugging the file against his belly, leg ging it with all his might for the speed er waiting by the water tank, He threw a ,look to his, left where a streamer of thick, white, smoke was coming up to mingle with the blue haze which had been drifting through camp for three days. Brush was on fire . south of the barn. In a moment he could see orange tongues of flame lick ing at more brush piles. Tod began trying to save the cook shanty and Kerry wondered why he didn’t throw water on the office, which was in greater danger, but Tod, too, was terribly excited. The' boy could tell that by the way he acted when he ran up to the speeder. “She’s goin’!” he yelled. “Old office’s goin’, Kerry!” His voice was funny, for all the world as though he were glad because the office was being licked by hungry, fast-devouring flames. He did not start away at once. He stood there priming the motor slowly, spilling gasoline because his hands shook so much. He did not look at what he was doing, either. He kept his eyes omtlie office where flames were licking at the roof, eating into the hewn log sides, seeming to melt boles in those stout timbers. “She’s goin’, Kerry!” he said and gave a queer laugh which made the boy wonder if grown men, also, some times laughed when they felt' like cry ing. He glanced at Kerry, then, and at the letter-file and licked his lips. “Sure you got the right one?” he asked. “The one you told me,” — stoutly. “We’d better haul, hadn’t we?” “Just a minute, now!” He waited, standing there and watch ing while a part of the office roof tum bled in. Only then did he shove the speeder ahead until the motor caught and coughed. If he had started just a minute earlier they would not have had to face that barrier of living fire across the track and the boy might have made it to town without a whimper. And then they were there, zooming past the siding, and he screamed from the heat that beat upon him; opened his throat and yelled aqd writhed against the weight of Tod’s body. The smell of burning paint poured into his nostrils and then, suddenly, the tor ture was past and he was half sit ting up and they were hitting it down the grade. Then he felt better and they were clicking over switch points and here was town and the motor stopped and Tod West was calling out to somebody with a lot more excitement than he had shown back at camp that Jack’s headquarters were burning. A group quickly gathered, mostly old men and boys, because the best man power of town was out on the fire line, and they followed Tod and Kerry across the street to the bank. They crowded into the bank and a man rose from his desk behind the counter. “Jack’s headquarters are gone,” said Tod, handing the file to the man.- “But. we brought in the pay-roll. Did my damnedest to save something of camp but I was alone. Kerry, here,’ lugged the money out of the office just In time.” “That’s fine,” said the banker, press ing the catch of the file. “That’s sure lucky! I happen to know that If Jack should lose—” He stopped short, then, and Tod leaned forward and the others pressed up close, attracted by the look on West’s face, likely. It was a look that even a seven-year-old boy would no tice. “Why,” the banker said, “why, Tod, it’s empty I” A moment of terrific silence followed and then Tod looked down at Kerry and said In a queer, unfriendly way: “Kid, which file did you bring?” The boy swallowed, with a new sort of thrill running his small frame. “Why,” he said, “why, I fetched . . . You told me the one on the safe, Tod I” The bookkeeper swore slowly under his breath and looked at the banker. “Good God, I trusted him!" he said in a whisper. The other clicked his tongue. “Oh-h!” he said, long-drawn. “But he’s only a. little boy,” he added and slapped the file shut. “That surely is going to be tough for Jack I” Kerry’s knees were shaking and there seemed to be a vacant place In his middle. “Tod, what’s the matter?” he asked shrilly. “Tod, Is the money back yon der? Did it burn up, Tod?” And then, summoning all his vigor, “Tod, I done just what you told me!” West shook his head. “No, you didn’t understand,” he said in a moan. “You didn’t understand, and the mon ey’s burned sure as hell and ••. . My God, boys, it’s my fault!” He said other things but Kerry did not hear. He moved away a little. Someone said: “The kid got rat tled.” Another said: “It ain’t your fault, Tod. The kid, he got rattled.” A third said: “It’ll be all day with old Jack now!” They all looked at the boy and he knew they were blaming him. AU but Tod. Tod did not look his way; there was something funny about Tod’s eyes. But the others . . . His nostrils smarted and a lump swelled in his throat suddenly. A help less feeling ran his bones and a sense of having been put-upon, abused, out raged. Jack had gone bust because his pay-roll was burned up but he had done just as he bad been told to do. . . . And before he knew what he was do ing, he was sobbing just that: “I fetched the one you told me! I did! I did!" He got that far before his sobs choked him and he slunk to a corner, “Kid, W hich File Did You Bringf burying his face in his arms. Old Jack was bust and they said it was because he got rattled when he had done as he’d been told and tried his best to help! The world, indeed, was a wretched place. It was Tod who had been wrong. . . . Wrong and funny acting, too. C H A P T E R II It rained toward evening and Jack Snow got to town at dusk. He had heard about his camp, of course, but he had not heard about the loss of his pay-roll. And when they told him he said nothing for, perhaps, a quarter of a minute but in those seconds he aged. Before, men had called him Old Jack because they loved him.... After ward, Ke was an old man, In fact. The first thing he said after he knew the worst that had happened referred to Kerry. He looked at the boy and winked and managed a sort of grin and said “But you’re all right, son!” as if that were all he would admit as be ing of any importance. And after that he said but little for days. He appeared to listen when people talked but if he heard he sel dom answered properly. Once he said to Kerry, when they were alone in their room at the mill boarding house: “Tough, to let a coupla thousand bust you. . . . But it was that dost.” He managed to rustle enough to pay off the crew; that Is, those who would take what they had coming. Mosti of the old timers left town without com ing around for their pay or waiting for Jack to look them up. He was their friend; he'was In trouble. He began to be feverish and talked at night in his sleep, holding the little boy close In his arms while the tre mors ran through him. Tod West came to say good-bye and declared again that it was his fault, that he should have fetched the letter, file himself. (TO BE CONTINUED) Begin it wow?

Dm Member of Faculty, Moody Biblo Iastltute of Chicago.©^Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for January 26 JESUS DECLARES HIS PURPOSE LESSON TEXT—L uke 4:16-30. GOLDEN TEXT—The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to th e poor; he hath sen t me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set a t liberty them th a t are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.—L uke 4:18, 19. PRIMARY TO PIC—Jesus Preaches to His Home Folks. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus’ F irst Sermon. INTERM EDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Choosing a Life Purpose. YOUNG PEO PLE AND ADULT TOPIC—W hat Jesus Came to 'Do. I. Jesus In the Synagogue (v. 16). On the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue according to his custom. He no doubt went that day with a new and definite purpose, but how re freshing to know that it was according to his habit Many young people have been safeguarded from the pitfalls of the world because of the habit of read ing the Bible, praying and going to church. II. Jesus Reading the Scriptures (w. 17-19). 1. The book banded to him (v. 17). It was not only his custom to attend the place of worship, hut to take part In It This privilege was not confined to the rabbis (Acts 13:15). Jesus, therefore, used the liberty accorded him. 2. .The passage read (Isa. 61:1,2). It is not entirely clear as to whether this was, providentially, the Scripture reading for the day, or whether it was specifically chosen by him for that occasion. 3. Tbe content of the passage (w 18, 19). a. The mission of the Messiah (v. 18). (1) To preach the gospel -to the poor. The good tidings which Jesus proclaimed are peculiarly welcome to the common people. By “poor" in this case is primarily meant those who were poor In spirit (Matt 5:3). (2) To heal the broken-hearted. The gospel of Christ meets the needs of those whose hearts are crushed by the weight of their own sins or by a bur den of sorrow and disappointment (3) To preach deliverance to the captives. This meant deliverance fkom the bondage of the Devil (John 8:36). (4) Recovering of sight to the blind. Christ did actually make those who were physically blind to see (John 9:6, 7) and also opened the eyes of those who were spiritually blind (I John 5:20). (5) To set at liberty them that are bruised. The power of Christ can free the most utterly hopeless ones. (6) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. The primary allusion is to the year of jubilee (Lev. 25:8-10). b. The special endnement of the Messiah (v. 18). He was the anointed one predicted by Isaiah, the Messiah. III. Jesus Expounding the Scrip tures (vv. 20 , 21). L He closed the book and sat down. It seems to have been the custom of the Jewish teachers to sit while teach ing. 2. “This day is this scripture ful filled.” This statement is no doubt but the gist of what he said. He thus de clared that he was the Messiah. IV. Jesus’ Reception by the People (w. 22-30). The critical hour had come. The people were amazed. They admitted his gracious words but were unable to admit his claims. His reception was characterized by L Ignorant prejudice (v. 22). They said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” as If to. say, “This Is onr fellow towns men with whom we have been ac quainted for years. Surely, he cannot be the Messiah.” 2. Unbelief as to his supernatural power (v. 23). They challenged him to exhibit examples of divine power, 3. Personal Jealousy (v. 24).' Jeal ousy often prevents us from seeing the essential worth of men In our midst Jesns adduced two outstanding ex amples of the willingness of foreigners to believe God. a. Elijah was sent to a widow at Serepta (w. 25, 26). Many widows of Israel were passed by, doubtless be cause they would not have received the prophet b. Naaman, the foreigner, of the many lepers, was the one cleansed, (v. 27). 4. Violent hatred (w. 28-30). This comparison of the Jews with foreign ers so offended their pride that they tried to kill him. He showed them that just as Elijah had brought bless ing to one who lived In Sidon, and Elisha to one In Syria, while the people of Israel went on suffering, even so the Gentiles would receive the blessing of his saving power,- while they, the chosen nation, would suffer in unbelief. _ P*ty Pity and forbearance, and long-suf- xerance, QDd passing the gentlest sen- .tence, are as certainly onr duty, and owing to every person that does and can repent, as calling to account can be owing to the law; and he Uiat does , not so Is an unjust person.- Jeremy Thylor.

The hody dies but in fluence lives; through it characters are formed, lives molded, destinies determinded.

G-: Mvers, of Gastonia, a leading tex; tile factor, that probably as much as $1 0 , 0 0 0 0 0 0 in processing taxes are impounded in the courts as-a result of the refusal of manufacturers of North Carolina to pay the govern ment, pending final court decision?. The estimate is probably very Io wj Iu some instances, no doubt, the amount would probably be the equie valent of the mills which have not paid the government these taxes;. The intriguing point arises as tb whom these taxes belong? ); Is it the purpose of these mills? now that these taxes are declared invalid, to press for the return of these taxes to their own coffers? .’ These funds represent amounts which the millshave collected, under ,this Federal law, on goods they have sold.. These goods were made from raw cotton.on which, prior to manufacture, the mills were com pelled to pay a per poundage lew approximately, in general teims,: around $ 2 1 per bale. The theory of the processing tax from the beginning was that, tuis tax would be passed on to the consumer hidden within the price label for the goods when eventually sold over the retail counter in their fabricated form. Granted that :tbe theory .has beei wrought out in practical effect, if would seem to become obvio u s^'en£ ^re taken out;, therefore,: that-these impoundi' ,taxe^ripresen^^g^ollections Iiel preme Court decisions were avail able as to the validity of the tax— do not belong at all to the. proces sors, but to the public It the manufacturers, in other words, have strictly followed tbe proposed mechanics, they have al ready assessed the public to whom they sell with this processing tax, hive collected it out of the pockets of tbe consumers, and, in such an event these funds belong to those from whom they have been ex tracted and not to the mills which have merely made tbe collections. Concluding, therefore, that these tax funds as impounded and amount ing to multiple millions -of dollars b along to the public agaiust whom they were charged and from whom they were collected, manifestly, they should be re distributed to this public instead of turned back to tbe processors. It so happens, however that not all the Tugwellian or Frankfurt erian magic nor the Houdinism of all the auditors of tbe universe woiild avail to undertake as a prac tical job that impossible.

Graeber, Extension Forester, visited Davie County Fri day, January 1 0 , and the plight of forests and forests interesting but sad point which be made was that wood had to oe hauled considerable distances in some counties to cure tobacco with. This probably will not be the case in Davie County for many years, if ever, but it] shows what is possible when forestry b neglected. ^Comparing a forest with a field of corn Mr. Graeber pointed out that the corn is thinned, giving tbe jbest plants a chance to grow more jrapidly. The corn which is then left will not be crowded and can use the plant food which would be con sumed by the stunted and poorer plants. We must think of. a forest as a crop which is harvested only Jnce or twice during the life of the iverage person There are large quantities of !crippled, stunted, ciowded - and twisted trees which should be re moved for fuel, leaving the best trees. The wrong practice gener ally followed is to cut tbe best trees for fuel because they can be cut, hauled and split more easily than |ull trees.. This practice is similar |o, the results of a. war, where the pest of humanity is killed, leaving the deformed, unsound and feebleJS -|nen at home to carry .on. When “Hult'ry is culled certainly the best irds are kept and the poorer speci- W hy. not !Ull our forests in the. same way, ^M ^.y:pedp l|^ ^ ft^ i|tltto,, nature, will YhiiT the forests” ftis^ is^Yfhe' but why wait on nature to do the job? It takes nature many years to thin a forest, and this is done at the expense of the remaining trees which have been held back because of lack of space, and the cull trees using part of the plant food and sunshine which they could use beneficially. We can help nature doing the job of thinning as the wood is needed, and it will speed up the development of the better trees which are left. Much of our woodland is fenced, consequently, livestock is allowed to use the feuced land which is sometimes called pasture In no sense is this a pasture except for wire around it. Cattle can find very little to eat and practically all young trees are picked off by the cattle. The first thing to do in such a situation is to remove the fence and keep cattle out. Then young trees will begin to come through. A little thought on the forestry question by those owning wood land will, no doubt, be convinced that timber tbinning and stand itn p'rovement will pay. ‘Labor and money invested in forestry projects is a long time investment and al though the present investor rea lizes no great benefit those in com ing generations will find it a nice little treasure.

In view of what has happened to the NRA, the AAA and other fac tors of the “ New.Deal,” it would seem that President Roosevelt at last would see the advisability of surrounding himself with men who at least are acquainted with the fun damental laws of this country, in so called brain-trtisters .--Unless we are sadly mistaken, the embarrassing predicament in-which the administration how fiuds itself is going to result in quite a change up in Washington; J It may be that D r u n k e n D r iv e r s . The last Legislaturepu a promin ent tooth in the law governing high way traffic that.soon our prominent citizens will find a way around it. The law will be carried out to' the latter as long as the poor as the poor and uninfluential are involved, but whed the prominent boys get druuk and start a joyride they may or may not be convicted of “reckless driv ing.” The law is good and will great ly reduce highway accidents if im partially administered but tbe aver age law of North Carolina is not so administered. Before the world not so administered. Before the world is much, .older that drunken driver law must be put to the test. That test will some when some ‘ first citizen” is arrested .for drunken driving. Bome of them are sure to be arrested for the highway patrol men have not had time to learn who is and. who is not. The local officers know better than to arrest “ Mr. First Citizen” on a charge of drunk enness but these highway fellows haven’t gotten acquainted socially- let us hope they never will. But when they do make the first arrest and submit the evidence it will be up to judge and jury. The law is good. Thelaw is necessary if we are going to have any kind of relief from the slaughter that is rampant in North Carolina today, but we greatly fear that this good law will soon be nullified so far as the pro minent are concerned.- Charity and Children.

The man who drinks and then gets under the steering wheel of a nigh- powered automobile is more danger ous than the drunk driver, according to experts who have made a study of the situation. The man who is drinking has a dis torted conception of things, his re action of things, his reaction to nor mal problems is slower, hence he is more prone to have wrecks with dis astrous results. The man who is drunk Is less dangerous, it is'said. We presume that it is because he does not drive long at a time, for one reason or another. Psychologists reveal that si man who has been drinking reacts slower to normal problems tban one who is sober. An automobile traveling 60 miles per hour will cover 8 8 feet per second. The average person reacts to things he sees and hears in one- fifth of a second, the psychologists state, but a man whose mind is dull ed by school will require twice .as long to react. If a man is driving at 60 miles an hour, it megns that under normal conditions he will travel 18 feet' be fore deciding what to do. If He is drinking, it'will require twice aslong and.he will cover 36 or more feet be fore swinging into action should^ an emergency arise That may mean the differenence between safety. and crippling or death. Medieal expertshave also proved that even small amounts of alcohol taken by car drivers will result in impairment to both mechanical skill ard intelligence. ' Delusions are also created wherein the person - concern- frlAl.ways-'feeis Uiat. he tsdoing ;|»et;.Y Further tests show that air no time is a man’s ability to drive increased by the use of alcohol. Hence, the sensible thing to do is to stay cut from under the steering wheel when drinking and thust help avert' acci dents. One may well remember that more boys and girls were killed last 'year by automobiles than. died from diph theria. scarlet fever or typhoid fever, or typhoid fever. Help save a life this year by being careful, by staying sober while driv ing, by reducing speed and reckless ness.—Salisbury Post.

Is pre pared to flee the burning lum ber camp of his benefactor. Jack Snow, who took the youngster to live w ith him a t the death of K erry's m other. Tod W est has instructed K erry to come with a Ale containing: the cam p's funds should it be endangered. Flam es \attack the of> fice, and K erry, hugging the precious file, and Tod race to town. Tod acts qucerly. At the bank the file is found em pty and K erry is blamed with taking the w rong one. CHAPTER II—Continued ——2—Jack roused from his lethargy. “Fault, hell!" he snorteil and spit, the way he used Io^ “You done your damnedest, hotli of you!” But Kerry detected again that funny look in Tod’s eyes. The man would not meet ■ the boy’s gaze. ‘Tin hittln’ for the West," said Tod. ‘‘Goin’ clean to the Pacific Coast.” But.from their window that evening he saw Tod board »n east-bound train. He did not think so much of it then. . . . He was to remember it later, though. That night old Jack grew worse. The doctor came and gave him some med icine, but he was restless, and fright ened Kerry, .the way he would sit up in bed and talk wildly, and finally the boy, trying to soothe him, crept close into the arms and that seemed to bring peace to the harried spirit After Jack was quiet, the boy whis pered : “It ain’t so, wbat they’re tellin’. Jack. I didn’t take the wrong one, unlest lie told me wrong." “Eh? What’s that?” Jack asked. He said It again and added: “When be told me, he put his hand right on It; right on the one on top th’ safe ’nd said your money was in It ’nd to come a-runnin’ when he yeowled fer me. ’Nd I did, ’nd now th’. kids ’nd some men say ’twas me who sent you belly up!" Old Jack was very silent. “What else’d he do? After that, what’d he do?" And the boy related, In detail, what Tod West had done . . . how he had gone down by the creek and come back through the alders as if wondering If anyone had seen him. And of how he hadn’t tried to save the buildings that were first in line of danger. Jack Snow swore a slow and terri ble oath, then. “He could ’a\” he muttered. “He could,’a’ done that. . . . ’Nd buried it ’nd dug it upvslnce Ilr fire ’nd put th' bee on a little feller. . ....” “I’ll send after him 'nd find out! He ain’t so fur on his way west!” he declared hut when Kerry tried to tell him that Tod had gone east instead of west the old man did not listen. Before morning he was much worse and. that day they took Kerry away and before the week was out he had no old Jack looking after him, nor would he ever have, again. The Poor Com missioner was his boss, now, and was boarding him out. . . . He could not hide the hurt of old Jack’s passing, of course. AU he could do was to hide himself in the woods at the edge of town, In the long grass of meadows .where he could lie on bis face and cry softly. But that other thing: the hurt which came when boys, with the cruelty of their years, taunted him with having sent Jack bust .. . . why then, he found, he could cover the pain with laughter. He found both sanctuary and defense in laughter. . . . But he began, after a time, to wonder how right he had been, to doubt the reliability of his own Im pressions. That had been such a be wildering time, when Jack’s camp burned.' Again, he would be certain that his memory was flawless. . . , He was. most unhappy. He tried to run away repeatedly, when he was older. Always they brought him back and made him stay and kept him In school when he bated the place and all the people in it be cause they never forgot what Tod West had told about him and would not listen when, as a little boy, he had tried to tell what he and old Jack had suspected. He did not persist In trying to broadcast this suspicion. Some day, he’d get foot-loose; then they could all go to the devil. Until then he’d hide the tilings he really felt behind laughter. CHAPTER III They sat In a St. Paul oflice, Kerry £oung, tall and brown and trim in his woodsman’s clothing. At his feet was curled a Chesapeake retriever, bright er than the prescribed dead grass in color; almost honey-hued, be was. A bit more than a decade had passed since he had finally gotten free of the town which had warped and moulded his spirit “This.” said the man across1 the desk, “Is the finest report on a timber prop erty I have ever read. It’s great! I’m asking you again; Won’t you stick with'us, Young? There’s a big op portunity with this corporation for a man of yonr years and ability." Kerry smiled slowly. “Time to move," he said In hi’s deep voice. “I’ve been on this one job since October.- It’s July, now. Tip and I”— with a nod toward the dog—“are a lit tle afraid of taking root” ‘•You’re always moving, aren’t you?" “Most of the time.” The btfceriuuised. started. to speak. hesitated and then asked bluntly; “Why, Young?" Kerry laughed and answered as one will who evades an Issue. “I like to see country. I like to put in, this time of the year, at the head waters of a river I’ve never been on and follow her through to the mouth. Kivere are wonderful experiences, Mr. Burkhead. Toil never know, on the new ones, what’s around the next beml or at the foot of the next rapid!" “I understand all that. But isn’t there something else?" the other per sisted. “Something else that keeps you*forever on the move?” Young’s smile faded. “There is.” lie said simply. “Once, when I was a kid, I was in one place too long. It’s while he’s a kid that a man’s habits are formed. I got the habit of wanting to move, wanting to go; wanting to clear out and get yon der until It hurt . . . hurt like the devil, sir!” He broke short and the smile swept liack into his face. “No use trying to explain. I just want to be gone yonder ; that's all!" “.Some day you’ll light and do a lot for yourself, I’m thinking. But I won’t try to anchor you; it's no use. Pm interested though. What river’s it going to be this year?" ‘‘Oh. any one of several. I know lots of ’em.” He looked at a large map of the Great Lnkes section which hnng on the wall. “There’s the Zhingwank, and the Mad Woman and the Blue berry. Any one of ’em would be a good bet.” “They’re all fine streams.” Burk head rose and walked to the map, put ting on his glasses. “We had an opera tion on the Blueberry years ago. We could have one on the Mad Woman now, if we wanted It A chap up there in trouble; bit off more than he can chew, I guess. West. Tod West. Know the property?" For an instant Kerry did not reply. “No,” he said. “I’ve never been on the JIad Woman." He rose, a bit stiff ly. “Tod West? You’re sure?” “Sure. Had considerable correspond ence with him; sent a cruiser In there last winter. Ever run across him?” He looked around sharply when, in stead of answering, his caller laughed, a hard and brief and mirthless laugh. “Once,” he said after that, “Yes . . . once. . . .”**•«*•* You never know what’s around the next bend or at the foot of the rapid below you when traveling a strange river, he had said. Por a week he had been on the Mad Woman, now. One night he had camped by a fire tower and talked for long with the lonely lookout. Yes, Tod West was a blg man tn this country., Another time he stopped for an hour with an isolated trapper.' West’s Land ing was thirty miles below. Pretty soon, now, he'd be going through West’s upper holdings. A great fellow, Tod, but he’d been hard hit lately, folks said. His only operation was in pulp and the pulp wood market was shot . . . And so on. Occasionally as be paddled easily with. the current- he would wink at Tip, seated by the packs, and throaty laughter would ^rumble up from his chest “Chance!” he said at one of these times. “The part chance plays In a man’s life I” And at night, in his camp beneath the stars, he would lie awake hour after hour, wondering, remembering, teasing himself with the thought that finally, perhaps, he was going to know. Since rounding the bend far above the murmur of'racing waters had been In his ears -and, approaching the bead of the rapid, he went cautiously. At the right was a landing, with signs of many portages on shingle and trees. Fires had been built there, camps made; many boats dragged out and packs lifted to shoulders for the carry, rather than risk descent of the tossing torrent below. Young was about to step Into the shallows and lead his canoe to shore when a Aashi from below caught his eye. It came again; the glint of after noon sunlight on something briglit He lifted the glasses, leveled them and went slowly rigid. Two people on the bank at the foot of that rapid were In flailing combat! He could see a red shirt, its. wearer evidently having just' leaped Into a boat beached there. Trying escape, he was, but another gave pursuit A larg er figure this, and as he leaped into the boat he stumbled and went down and the skiff commenced drifting slow ly out into the current. Again Kerry had that bright glint of reflected light and saw that It was from an outboard motor, clamped to the stern. . . . And now the larger fig ure was up and the red-shirted one seized an oar, raised it high and swung It smartly at the other. On that gesture a word broke from Young’s lips. One word: “Girl!’’ No man ever swung a cudgel In that man ner. . . . The nan. In the bow ducked, threw out a hand, caught the oar as It bashed tbfe gunwale and, with a wrench, tpre It free from the girl’s grasp. He tossed: It overboard. Then slowly, menacingly, he went forward, raising a foot to step over the thwart before him.' He stopped, then, and threw out his arms for balance against the sharp list of the boat The girl had dived! “Ob-ho!" said Young sharply to him self. , “Tight ta, eh? . . . Drop, Tip!” The dog, at his word, flattened him- self In the bottom. No time for the carry, now.. The girl In such evident distress was forty rods away by water; how far by trail he did not know. The canoe nosed silently into the first suck of swift current, Young’s eyes sternly busy with the frothing tumult below. He saw where a bar rier ledge ran out from the right, nar rowing the stream down against the opposite bunk, making a safe passage of meager width. He saw where up standing boulders ripped the current to spume in that narrow cut. making fur ther increase in the already treacher ous hazard. Fast and faster he moved, charging for that narrow channel, straightening ills canoe out as he gathered speed, setting if parallel with the rip. He swung sharply to the right to miss one snag aud worked back into the sleek, black slide which indicated the safety of -depths. He went into a brawling riffle next, with foam all about, and angling across it, found deep water again. It scoot ed witli him, sweeping him straight down a stretch rods long, eddies and patches of froth accompanying him like outriders. . . . Protruding rocks reared themselves again. He decided in a split second that the way to the left was the bet ter. A contrary current disputed with the impulse of his paddle. A crazy rapid, this; a reckless chance on which he was engaged! He lifted his gaze for a flash of a look at the boat below. It was, so far as lie could tell, empty. Who ever the girl was, she had been fol lowed overboard by the man . . . who ever the man was. . . . The dog's ears were up though he lay flat, nose on his paws. From his throat now and again came a sharp whine and he quivered as the tensity of his master communicated itself to him. And now again Young was paddling desperately, great arms sweeping with the precision and regularity of some device of stout metal, power driven. Cords stood out on Ills brown neck and back muscles rippled beneath the smoothly fitting shirt of deep green. Beyond, the current was actually up- tilted, banked, so abrupt was the de flection of those tons of rushing water. He must clear the rock to his left, must turn in time to avoid that which would then He close to his right. . . . The chute now. sped down mid stream and he paddled stoutly to gain He Paddled Stoutly to Gain Even More Speed. even more speed. He felt himself drop ping at a break which was all but a cascade, swore once, sharply and stout ly as he was sucked Into a welter of foam. A slimy nose of granite seemed to reach through the lather for him and he threw his weight to the left, righted the frail craft just as water boiled over the rail and, canoe sideways, turning still further until he progressed backward, he shot into the placid pool which marked the foot of the rapid. It was over his shoulder, then, that he saw the two. Their boat was drift ing with the current, turgid there fcr a space. On one side of the skiff was the girl, supporting herself In the water by hands on' the gunwale; on the other was the man, hatless, his face dark under the sun. They had not seen this approach of a third. They were so occupied that all else was excluded from attention. The man braced himself, pulled his weight sharply upward, hooked elbows over the rail and threw up a foot to flounder inboard. It was here that the girl, letting go her hold with one hand as if for the second time to attempt escape by swimming, saw Kerry. He had a flash M a white face, lovely In contour and feature, but now stamped with heavy fear. For an Instant the gaze from his blue eyes locked with the girl’s, dark ones. Then he smiled. He smiled and threw back his head and let the smile run into a laugh. “Good afternoon!” he said. “Is the water fine?" A bantering greeting, this, and the words came through the last of his laughter. But banter went out of his heart .and mirth from his countenance as he looked from the girl to the man,' rising to stand spread-legged In the fiat bottomed boat, arms hooked, clothing plastered close to his great chest’ and strong legs. . . . The man—hair touched with gray, now; bearler by many pounds; his face lined and a bit full at the chin— the man was Tod West! For a long moment they stared'at one another. West breathed rapidly And after that-first; shock of recogni tion, with Its surge of bitterness, and a certain triumph, he marked some thing else: Tod West’s face was stamped with the die of passion; that particular kind of passion' which had been repressed too long; which had, perhaps, been soured and twisted and fermented to fury by repression. But that reflection of passion was fading, now; astonishment and bewil derment and chagrin were sweeping up to replace it. And then, In a dark ening flood, came deep anger against this intruder. West raised a hand half-way to his breast. It was the right hand. Kerry should have noted the-gesture, but he did not. . . . He was too close to the answer of an old, rankling question, now. . . . No light, of recognition was In Tod’s face. Too many years had passed. A lad of seven Kerry had been on that day in old Jack’s camp, and West In his early twenties. Young rallied himself. More im portant things In his own way of reck oning values might be close at hand, but he had run that rapid to render aid to this girl. That came first and so he spoke, but with difficulty kept bitterness from his tone.. “You might.” he Said1Pointedly, "help the young lady back into the boat." Still. West did not move; nor did be respond. The canoe was within ? length of a paddle from the skiff, now, and Kerry could hear the light, quick breathing of the girl. “I said you might,”—voice rising and thickening,—“help the young lady back into the boat.” West turned and looked silently to ward shore. Young, staring up at him, felt an immeasurable loathing for the man arise. . . . Put the blame for old Jack’s ruin on him, had he? And, perhaps, profited by the tragedy him self? He lifted one foot, flicked it across the gunwales and with a heave of his agile arms was standing face to face with the older man. “I take it the young lady doesn’t relish having you here at all. Why don’t you get out?” The heavy jaw trembled ever so slightly and a red flood swept into the cool and calculating gray eyes. “I happened to see from back yon der. I happened to see your little game of . . . of tag. I’d say your welcome aboard here was at any time highly questionable. I’d say that the least you could do would be to get out now. You forced her to dive once, and another little swim shouldn’t do you any ..." “Let go, you!” Young’s quick grip on West’s arm brought words, heavy with rage. “I won’t let go until you . . .” The man was no weakling. Kerry felt the tremendous strength in those arm muscles, felt the vast power In the stalwart legs and broad back as West swept an arm out to clip him into close embrace. But he had the ad vantage of better-composure, of better stance and, perhaps, of an older, riper hatred. He drove a knee against West’s thigh, he half turned, grind-' ing a hip smartly into West’s groin. He shoved with both hands and, giving a strangled roar of anger,. the man went backward Into the river. A lovely girl was waiting In the chill waters of the Mad Woman and quickly Kerry stooped, 'taking her hands In his. She came up, with a light kick of her small feet, the bunt of a trim, breech- clad knee against the boat, and stood close to him, draining water. For the space of a slow breath he clung to her hands and his eyes, smiling now because of the things which churned In him, things that should he let them, might stir too much rage and a modicum of pain, plunged their look deep into hers. “There!” he said and laughed, be cause there was nothing else to do, with confusion and embarrassment flooding such a lovely face as that She drew her hands down the sleeves of the red shirt, stripping water from the fine flannel. Her eyes went past him to the swimming West, making suddenly and stoutly for shore, and In them showed an anger, surprising In intensity for a face so gently moulded. - The man gained the shallows, wad ed, dripping, to a beached canoe and dragged it afloat with a savage jerk. He stepped in, drove the paddle against bottom stoutly enough to spin the craft about and turned on the girl such a look as Young had never seen on a man’s face. “AU right!” he said chokingly and nodded just once, sharply. “All right, Nan! For this.. . . you'll be a pau per !’’ With no more, with only a quick, venomous glance at Kerry, he turned down-stream, paddling briskly. The girl’s look forbade speech just then. He was at a loss until his gaze, going Mst her, saw his own canoe, grounded down-stream and on the oth er side. Tip, amidships, was sitting up, ears at alert, watching his master, and when the girl sat down on the thwart with a suddenness-which was almost collapse, Young raised his hand. “Hi, Tip!” The dog sprang to his feet, rocking the canoe. His tall threshed rapidly. “Fetch I Fetch the canoe!” Frantically, then, the retriever nosed the packs,Jshoving' his muzzle ,deep into them, and came up with the track line In his teeth. Over he went Into the shallow water and backing, scroochlng down, waggling his tall, growling, he dragged the canoe afloat Then In deeper water, he swam rapidly’ up and across the current, head held side ways by the tug of the line in his jawa i “That’s a smart dog,” the girl said. Her voice was even, as though noth. Ing unusual had happened. (TO BE CONTINUED) Where to Tour for the Whole Yearv Yet Remain in the U. S.

Head for Honolulu via Los An geles, San Francisco or Vancouver. Within five days from the. Pacific coast. Diamond Head will break the horizon, and by sundown, the time of Nature’s subllmest masterpiece upon {he canvas of the skies, yon will be hold the breaking surf of Waikiki beach and smell the perfnme of Eros wafted from the loveliest garden spot nnder the American flag. Not In all the tropic Isles may one find a rival to the Hawaiian paradise. Florida in February. February—Fly to Florida, east 01 west coast, the land of perfect high ways, • opal nights, stone crabs, pom- pano, all of the citrus frnits in per fection; deep-sea angling, luxury of living, tnland fresh water lakes, free dom to enjoy all the outdoor sports, and now, more than ever, at a cost within whatever budget the purse can stand without cracking. Harch—Take yourself to Georgia, down the region of the Golden isles In the neighborhood of Brunswick, to a :limate combining milk and honey, Into ozonated uplands extending to the Carolinas, and soft days and nights along Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi ana, with the fresh colors of spring. April—Texas is awakening; a new light Is In the slcy over the Banger state. The green carpet, spread across her rich earth. Invites the traveler to explore.. the. rastness of her dominion. A wayfarer in Texas is the guest of ail her people. Her highways. lined with wild flowers, lead to habitations and cities where strangers are welcome. Southwest for May. May—Take, the hint and contrive to turn np In New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado when the trout fishing la on and the natives are in high spirits. In certain sections one may wet a line In new waters every other day and go Into action on streams that are un surpassed elsewhgre. In point oif scenic grandeur these regions stand upon their own. June—Start as far south as San Diego and roll leisurely up the Cali fornia coast, with such trips tnland as time permits. The Italian atid the French Riviera lack many comforts that the California sea front possesses. It Is an excursion through a land of inexhaustible luxury, fruits,' flowers and sea food. July-Angust—Play around Oregon, Washington; fish her lakes and rivers, feast upon her ripening fruits, fare forth upon Frederick sound, loveliest of Inland seas, for a glimpse of Alaska; see Wrangle, Skagway, Nome and marvel that we bought the entire coun try for $7,000,000—in the present era a mere tip to a district leader. August and September—First signs of autumn In the Northwest states hide-out of the mountain rangers, sources of the great rivers. A play ground of perfect days and cool nights imong the Westerners. Montana, Ida ho, Wyoming, the Hakotas and onward to the Great Lakes, at their best when the frost is on the- pumpkin. Fall Is New England Time. October—All of New England is In its autumnal perfection; the little sau sages, pork tenderloins, shell fish along the coast, mince pies and cider turn- tng from the saccharine to that seduc tive nip at the tongue's tip. These combine to make the Prodigal’s home coming more than a mere accident. The smell of piccalilli In farmera- kitchens, the aroma of apples from the cellar and the honie-cured bacon, sepla-coated by smoke from corn cobs and hickory, all combine to arouse deep yearnings. November—Take a dash into . Mary land and the Virginias; ramble around the valley of the Shenandoah; excur sion through Culpepper county, onward to rehabilitated Williamsburg, cradle of the Union; hit-for the coast .and •have-your AU ot Lynnhaven oysters, Virginia ham, salt and smoke dured. Get hold of some scaly-barks (hickory nuts) from -Kentudty and .Tennessee; with a few upland birds before the season shuts down. December—Take yonr .pick of the numerous golf courses, riding trails through the pine belt along the Pled- mont plateau add down alonj the Au gusta, ThomasvUle and Tallahassee sections, where winter no longer pur sues. and light apparel goes with s light heart Cspyriaft^mraftcjrtM.

Some of the features of the annual winter wholesale markets at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago: Candlesticks fashioned after the old chimney lamp; mirror designs that go ’round and | ’round; stream lined irons with heat graduations marked for the kind of cloth j to be ironed, and wringers through which you can run even a watch with per- J feet safety. By WILLIAM C. UTLEY THE American home is going “modern.” It is right now on the verge of a wave of buying that is to reveal a new beauty In household articles and a new func tional philosophy of design In furnish es from living room to kitchen, from taseuent to attic. Sueh is the impression everywhere apparent this year in the several great wholesale furniture and housewares Baitets conducted annually in the wholesale centers of the United States in January. In these markets there are actually sice as many buyers as there were Itst year acquiring stocks for the re tail trade. There is little or none of the quibbling over prices which char- irierized such markets during the lean years after 1929. 8ncb buying could be laid to two rea sons although it is impossible to say In what degree to either one: That IlmfS are actually better, and that the' depreciation during.years of depres sion in the American home is no long er to be denied. At any rate, manu- (Mriwm believing that the turn has come, have seized upon the 1936 mar- tets as the opportunity for concen tration of new ideas, and for the in troduction of tempered solidification of bends that, In the extreme forms by which we knew them a few years ieo, were little more than bizarre nov elties. Preview of 1936 Homes, although the wholesale markets are not open to the public, the merchan dise that Is shown and bought in them olfers an Interesting preview of forces that will influence the American home In &e months to come. It is therefore the purpose of this article to set down the trends as accurately as they may be Interpreted by the lay observer. Uoat of the information has been culled from the markets in Chicago’s wholesale city under one roof,- the Merchandise Mart, where nearly a mil lion and a half square feet of floor opace has been occupied by them. ' from the nightmare of weirdly cubic and geometrically uncomfortable “mod ernistic” furniture that was fantastic to look at and even more fantastic on' In penthouses paid for with ™e paper profits of the boom years, Ma emerged a new “period” furniture hut belongs definitely to the era of recovery, ft |s known in the trade as Tnodern.” Buyers estimate that SO per cent the new furniture shown to the traAe this year will be “mod- "JJ- It makes nse of the simple "JhgM lines and departure from elab- ik IhrnamentatIon that characterized 9 modernistic” pieces of a few years “J1*- It stimulates the eye, but not •he point where it leaves you with k JJrtistic hangover.

Always the new furniture looks first to comfort and practicability. -The sharp corners of “modern” furniture are gone now, and more pleasing rounded ones have taken their place. For homes where space is important, the come-apart sofa which breaks down into three comfortable chairs is being seen more and more. This Idea has carried over into dining room furniture, too, and this year there are wall benches offered which break down into dining room chairs. “Modern” in Bedroom. More than anywhere else the “mod ern” note is evident In bedroom furni ture, which is now extremely simple in design. There are striking applica tions of English harewood, prima vera and myrtle wood. But perhaps the most notable trend is that of bedroom glassware. Modern mirrors, like mod ern music, are “going ’round and ’round.” Everywhere are round, un framed mirrors, much larger than be fore. With repeal of prohibition has come a-new article of furniture, the cellar ette. This Is a sort of traveling bar, containing glasses of various kinds, shakers, ice-bowls and bartenders’ tools. The cellarettes fold up into oth er pieces of furniture, such as radios, desks and bookcases, when not In use. Perhaps the most unusual—not to say incongruous—combination was a sew ing machine which could be turned in to a fully equipped cellarette at a moment’s notice. Asked where in the house a cellar ette could be placed to the greatest advantage, one exhibitor replied that he had his in his “rumpus” room—and never batted an eye. To the parlor, bedroom and bath trade this was some thing of a jolt, but the dictionary re vealed that “rumpus” meant “distur bance; wrangle; row.” If you must have these things it is probably a good Idea to have a separate room for them, and maybe a cellarette would help. Floor coverings this year have re linquished the large, gay patterns, and have shown up in more small patterns and plain colors. Linen Rugs Are New. Among the new departures were rugs and carpets of linen and llnen- and-cotton, which are practically fire proof and moistureproof. Also there are reversible floor coverings, contain ing a distinct and different pattern on each side, which can change the char acter of a room if the rug is turned over. Texture weave rugs that look very rough, some of them like home- spun, but are not really that way, were shown.Manufacturers of housewares, it is said at the markets, have laid low during the depression years and, rath er than .spend .a great deal of money on sales promotion when there was lit tle chance for large volume sales, di rected their efforts to the field of re search, and now that the tide has turned, or shows signs of turning, are releasing many new perfections of household utensils. Two facte may be said to be true about these: They have fallen into the present-day fash ion of streamlining to the “nth’ de gree; and they are characterized by the ultimate In functionalism In de sign. While the modern streamlining gives them a new unusual beauty, the insistence on functionalism assures that this beauty of design will help to Increase the efficiency of a utensil, rather than detract from It. An example of both ‘he new char acteristics was a chrome pitcher shaped like the funnel , of the Nortmndte. Asked'just why a 'pltcher,. of all things, SHOULD be shaped like the fOane* the Normandie, the manOfaeturer3t representative explained, I fnn0w will pour better." If you oanJ e l?? that (this writer couldn’t) you will be interested to know that he ateo said, “It can pour through the ey needle.” That Is, of cour! ’ iL y ng should evfer want to pour anything through the.eye of a needle. The pitcher was one piece In a matched set of utensils. That is one of the big things about utensils now. They come in matched sets. And In the most vivid pastel shades; you can fry herring (DO you fry herring?) in a frying pan of shell pink or Alice blue. Cooking at the Table. For years the electrical appliance manufacturers and the public utilities have been trying to "educate” the pub lic into cooking right at the table, and the trend is more plainly to be seen this year than ever. There are chrome-plated ovens that plug into any outlet, electric tea kettles with trigger spouts, and all sorts of new gadgets for table use. One of the most practical is a device which keeps dishes warm, without overheating them, until they are ready to be served; one variation of this idea will also keep cold dishes cold in hot weather. There are toasters now which ring bells, light signal lights and/in other, ways warn you that, the toast is ready; they do everything but scrape the toast To use in cooking right on the range! are some -more ' articulate affairs.: There is a tea kettle which sings when the water bolls. And an egg cooker (they say eggs should be cooked, riot boiled—boiling makes them tough) with a baby chick sitting on top of it; the chick peeps when the eggs are ready. Manufacturers of cooking ranges have discovered that when all the burners are located in a square on one side of the range the house wife has to reach over a front burner to attend to anything on a rear burner. So the 1936 ranges will have two burners on each side, with a table top In between, or four burners at the back of the range, with the table top in front. Streamlining has reached ■ even- elec tric irons. And this year they will have several graduations of heat, as before, but instead of being marked Hot, Medium and Warm, these gradu ations will be plainly marked with the kind of materials for which they are used: Linens, Woolens, Silks, etc. Streamlining is by no means the only feature the 1936 vacuum cleaner has borrowed from the automobile. It has headlights, gear shift and even floating power, with the mechanism cradled in vibrationless mountings. And talk about pickup! It’s in the bag. Some More Trick Gadgets. There are other innovations, too nu merous to catalogue here, awaiting the 1936 homemaker. Among them are card tables that won’t tip even If a 206- pounder stands right on the edge of them; washing machines with wringers through which It is safe to run a 21- jewel watch (not MT watch, thank you)'; an electric percolator with a dial device for Weak, medium or strong coffee; a heat-regulated frying pan guaranteed not to burn or scorch food, and a cooker In which you can cook onions, chocolate 'pudding, cauliflower, chicken and last night’s potatoes, all at once, without having any of the tastes or odors mix. ■ Or, you can sim ply cook hash. The lamp markets presented so many Individual styles produced by different manufacturers that it is difficult to pick any definite trends from them. Here are a couple of random tips, though: Shades of rough, coarse-wov- en fabrics will be good, as will parch ment shades with designs punched in them. . The situation in the ehinaware mar ket was, to the lay eye, much the same. Looking at some new Japanese dishes, decorated with a brilliant plaid design exactly like some of the-. new. table cloths, one couldn’t ’ help speculating upon the embarrassment of some day discovering his ,elbows to be right on his plate, instead of just on the table cloth,- though. And to.conclude on a happy note: For the bathtub vocalists—recognition at last! The new shower curtains have the music printed right on them <' ©Western Newspaper Union. S T A R D U S T Gable ★ -M .ovie • R a d i o * ★★★By VIRGINIA V A LE*** ' I 'H E motion picture business got a gentle jolt recently, when it was announced by a man who knows that the stars preferred by people who buy tickets to the movies are not the stars credited by Hollywood and the motion picture critics as being the best on the screen. Thr announcement was made by A. n. Blank, who has been In the busi- iiiss fur 24 years, and is the head of two organizations which operate 75 theaters In 35 cities, selling some 20 ,000,000 tickets a year.„He says that the most popu lar stars this last year have been Will Rog ers, Shirley Temple, C lark Gable, Mae West, Norma Shearer, Bing Crosby, Claudette Colbert, Myrna Loy1 Joan Crawford and the team of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The stars the critics rave over are ChaiIcs Laughton, Claudette Colbert, Goiirqe Arllss, Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo, Will Rogers, Shirley Temple and Helen Hayes. They include Shirley, you see, but put her ninth on the IisL —"K— So—let’s take the list of the best ten, and check up on current news about them. . WUl Rogers’ pictures are Still draw ing crowds, a most unusual thing when the star Is no longer living. Shirley Temple had a lovely Christmas, with James Dunn acting as Santa Claus In an airplane and dropping presents for her on the lawn. She’s taking a month’s vacation, and planning to spend ft In Hollywood. Clark Gable, since the split with his wife, is living at a hotel, and having some difficulty because he has his dogs staying with him. He WiU probably make a sequel to “Mutiny on the Bounty,” showing what happened to him and his men after they settled on Pitcairn Island. Mae West wants to return to New York and do a stage Play. Norma Shearer, making “Romeo and Juliet,” has for some time worn her hair a Ia “Juliet,” In preparation for the picture. Bing Crosby is more ex cited than ever over his racing stable, now that the Santa Anita-track is open. C{aujlette Colbert Is stilt receiving con gratulations over her elopement with Doctor Pressman, who was called to at tend her when her sinus trouble was aggravated by the- rain scenes In "It Happened One Night.” Joan Crawford and Franchot Tone are still In a honeymoon mood. Fred Astaire,-hap pier than ever before, Is set to make more pictures with Ginger Rogers, who proved not to be so successful In "In Person,” which she made alone, as she is when she’s working with him. If you’ve heard the very popular serial, “One Man’s Family,” on the air (and you should have; It’s been going an for years), you’ll be interested to know that both RKO and Paramount are bidding for the screen rights;: want to do it with the same people and everything. —K— Now it’s Ann Dvorak who’s having trouble; she is suing Warner Broth ers, complaining that they haven’t let her work since October 29 and haven’t paid her salary since then. But—she looked badly In her last picture and didn’t give too good a performance. — k— “Captain Blood” is one of the pic tures you’ll want to see; it’s dramatic, thrilling ait the way through, and orings to the screen a young man who’s sure to be a Star--Errol Flynn. Off the screen Mr. Flynn- has the quiet, reticent manner of Ronald Column. He’s very good looking, very intelli gent, and most likable. From Impresario Steve Trumbull, radio vet famed for his yacht-racing through very stormy waters and for. his immortal broadcast of the fever ish Dillinger hunt in Indiana (while the late Public Enemy No. I was re posing a state or two away), comes this correction for the Item In which it was stated here that the Buck Rog ers show had’been taken off the air: “After stopping for one sponsor, the Buck Rogers show was immediately taken up by another. The show is pre sented on CBS twice from'New York— Once at 6:00 p. m. EST (reaching the Middle West at 5:00 p. m.) and then re-broadcast to reach the mountain states at 5:00 p. m. their time and the Pacific coast at 4:00 p. m. coast time. Thanks for setting your public right on this.” —40— : ODDS AND ENDS . . . During 1?35 Guy Lombardo picked and played on t^xe: air ten songs which became hits . . .

The spread of Christianity depends upon the testimony of men and women who have come into an experiential knowledge of Jesus ChrisL . I. Jesus Teaching by the Seaside (w. 1-3). His fame was now so widespread that the people pressed upon him to hear the Word of God. The manner and matter of his teaching gained the attention of the people, for he taught as one having authority and not as the Scribes. The people came to hear the Word of God. It is true today that people will flock to hear the preaching of the Word of God. The people will not Sock to hear the preacher dis course on politics, literature, current events, and human philosophy. These people were hearing the living Word expounding the written Word. J I. Tb.e Mighty Draught of Fishes (vv. 4-7). Before these disciples were called into the Lord’s service, it was neces sary that, In a most concrete way, they be shown the wisdom and power of Jesus Christ. 1. Christ’s command (v. 4). It was to launch out into the deep and let down their nets for a draught of fishes. It was necessary for them to learn that if fish were to' be caught they must cast their nets where the fish were. 2. The disciples' hesitant obedience (v. 5). Peter as spokesman explained that they had a night of disheartening failure. They had given themselves to a whole night of exhausting toil, with no success. While they acknowledged their failure and unwillingness to con tinue on the ground of their own judg ment, they expressed willingness to proceed on a new ground of action; namely, "At thy word.” Happy are they who are willing to go forth with unfaltering courage on the ground of Christ’s commandment 3. Reward for obedience (w. 6, 7). By Jesus’ guidance they were able to take such a draught of fishes that their nets broke arid the boats were in dan ger of siDking. Abundant success will crown the efforts of the disciples who render implicit obedience to the com mands of the Lord Jesus Christ III. The Disciples Called to Higher Service (vv. 8-11). 1. The effect of the miracle upon the disciples (vv. 8-10). This miracle was so manifestly the work of supernat ural power that Peter acknowledged himself to be In the presence of a divine being, even expressing the fear that comes to all when brought face to face with God. 2. Their new vocation (v.. 10). Jesus not only spoke words of good cheer.to the disciples, but made clear to them their work In the coming years. They no longer were to spend their time In catching fish, but henceforth were to be fishers of men. Literally, they were to catch men alive. This Is the exalted calling of every one who is Christ’s real disciple. 3. Response to the call (v. 11). They left all and followed Jesus. They had such a marvelous demonstration of wis dom and power of Christ that they were now willing to give up tbetr tem poral Interests and give themselves to the new work; that of winning men to Christ Obedience to Christ meant not only sacrifice, but a ,life of fruitful service In winning souls for him. IV. The Calling of Matthew (w. 27, 28).Matthew was a despised tax-gath erer. He was called from a remunera tive position to give up all and follow Jesus. He, together with James, John, and Peter, gave up all to follow Jesua He had the courage of his convictions, for he made a great feast to which he invited his old friends so that he might introduce them to Jesus Christ Thl3 act of Matthew was a result of ma ture deliberation, for considerable time had elapsed since his call. His ex perience with Jesns was so blessedly real that he desired that his friends should have a like blessing. Men and women of reputation and influence should capitalize on them for the sal vation of the lost introducing their friends to Jesus Christ Christ is not only able to save all kinds of sinners, but to use them when saved in his work.

For radio companies to say to tha party In power, “Because we fear yon we shall take you to every home In the country and let you say what yon please, and shall refuse'to give the same publicity to your opponents,” might not suit the American Idea. It Is good news that Henry Ford has gone back to airplane building. His last trimotor plane was produced In 1S31I His new two-passenger plane, with V-S engine turning the propeller 4,000 times a minute, carries 30 gallons of gasoline, with a flying range above 500 miles. Five hundred miles of air travel for $6 worth of gasoline for two passengers would be cheap trans portation. Henry Ford will begin manufactur ing planes seriously, “if and when con ditions demand volume production worth while.” Jess Jones, chairman of Reconstruc tion Finance corporation, tells the banks that he will go -on lending gov ernment money until they make credit and loans easier. • . Mr. Jones says: “The big fellow, with unquestionable credit, borrows on his own terms, at low rates. Credit for the average business is too spar ingly given, at much higher rates." There is rioting in Porto Rico, num bers killed and wounded. In various' places. It Is said a Porto Rico 'Touog Men's party” has decided to separate Porto Rico from the Dnited States, in spired perhaps by the departure of tbe-PhUippines.

Signs of recovery, most important, are increased sales of automobiles, in creased use of telephones.

A KlDf Features Syndicate, Inou WNOMrvlMi News Review of Current Events the World Over Hauptmann Reprieved by Governor Hoffman—Plan Devised to Avoid New AAA Legislation—> Bonus Bill Favored in Senate. By EDWARD W. PICKARD © Westera Newspaper Union. Hauptmann LESS than thirty hours from the time when he was to die In the electric chair, Bruno Richard Haupt mann, convicted kidnaper and slayer of the Lindbergh baby, was given a thirty-day reprieve by Governor HoSman of New Jer sey. This means he will have at least six ty more days to live, because he will have to be re-sentenced. The governor did not give specific reasons for his action. He,did say: “A reprieve is an act of executive clemency rather than judicial clemency. I am not required to give a reason, but I might say that there are grave doubts In this case, not only in my mind, but In the minds also of our citizens.” There will be only the one reprieve, “unless the evidence should warrant” another, the governor said. If Haupt mann Is to' be finally saved it must be through the presentation of sufficient new evidence to warrant Justice Tren- chard granting a request for a new trial, or for a new plea for clemency to the state pardons court The stay came after the United States Supreme court at Washington refused to admit attorneys to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus for Hauptmann. That closed the door to all further legal action designed to delay the execution. Various stories about the crime, some new and others old, are going the rounds and are being investigated by authorities and by the forces of the defense. They are too complicated for summary here. Lec e r a r i d ig est’s Presidential straw vote has been concluded, and the final returns Indicate a grow ing opposition to the New Deal A - total of 1,907,681 ballots was received, and of these 62.66 per cent were cast against the President’s policies and acts, and 37.34 per cent were for the administration. Thirty-six states gave majorities against to eleven still In favor of the President and his policies. Among the pro-Roosevelt states was UtahT The others were classified in the release as "southern and border” states. Of tbe different sections of the coun try, New England cast the heaviest “No” vote, going 77.98 per cent against the administration. The Middle Atlan tic states from New York to West showed 6S.S9 per cent of the voters against Mr. Roosevelt and his recov ery schemes, while the Middle Western states In the farm belt and the Rocky Mountain states indicated a ratio ap proximately the same as the nation at large—3 to 2 against. The three Pacific coast states totaled 58.04 against the New Deal. THKEtE will be no new legislation to continue the aims of the AAA, if the plans of the administration are adopted, for it has been found by offi cials that the soil con servation act of 1933 will permit the under taking of about every thing in the bill that .the house and senate agriculture commit tees were drawing up. In a White House conference the new program was agreed upon by President Roosevelt, Senator J. T. Robinson, majority ®cn* Robinson leader; Secretary of Agriculture Wal- lace, Attprney General Cummings, Ohairman Ellison D. Smith of the sen ate agriculture committee, Chairman Marvin Jones of the house agriculture committee, Speaker Joseph W. Byrns, Senator John H. Bankhead (Dem., Ala.), AAA Administrator Davis, and M. O. White of the AAA. The administration will work out a system of granting farm subsidies to farmers restricting acreage under au thority of the soil conservation act of 1935. In connection with the program the administration will make provision for obligations incurred under the In a radio address Herbert Hoover offered the country his own plan for bringing recovery to the farmer. As serting that a new road must be built by which agriculture can “get back onto the solid ground from the quick sand of the New Deal,”' Mr; Hoover outlined three general or group pro posals for farm recovery. They were: 1. The restoration of the home mar ket to American farmers. 2. The retirement of “thin” and snb- marginal acres, along with'a slowing up of reclamation of projects. 3. Encouragement of co-operative marketing and the further imprpve- ment of farm credit machinery. SEVENTEEN persons met a tragic fate In the worst airplane acci dent that the United States has had A big transport plane of the Ameri can Airlines, en' route from NeijXork to Lob Angeles, crashed In a swamp near the village of Goodwin, Ark, and It* U passengers, two pilots and Sen. Pat Harrison stewardess were killed. With great difficulty the bodies of the victims were brought out of the marsh where their bodies- were found scattered among fragments of the shattered plane. Officials of the government and of the airline company Immediate ly started an investigation, but the 'cause of the disaster could not easily be determined. A£L the air lines of the country have united In the formation of the Air Transport Association of Amer ica, whose president and “czar” is Col. Edgar S. Gorrell, chief of staff of the army air service during the World war. Fowler W. Barker, war pilot and former secretary of the transport branch of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, was elected secretary and treasurer. Co-ordination of schedules, credits, advertising, engineering data, and pur chasing power among the various op erators prompted the organization of the new association which is Intended to be an “ideal trade association.” Its functions will be similar to those of the North Atlantic steamship con ference and Colonel Gorrell will have powers approximating those of Will Hays of the movies and Judge Landis of baseball. OENATOR PAT HARRISON’S com- VJ promise bonus measure, providing for payment In baby bonds redeemable on demand, was given the right of way In the senate and its passage seemed certain after a brief and lively debate. The veterans’ organizations whose bill had been passed by. the house accepted the compro mise, so it evidently was on Its way to the White House for ac tion by the President What Mt. Roosevelt would do was not known, reports that he would veto the bill being offset by rumors that he would approve it de spite the disapproval of treasury offi cials. On the eve of action by the senate every member of that’ body receiv'd from the Economy league a letter writ ten by its. president, Henry H. Curran, warning that the bonus legislation would “destroy any chance for confi dence In the finances of our govern ment that is necessary if we are ever to regain national prosperity.” The letter said that the national budget is unbalanced, national credit slipping, taxes Increasing, purchasing power of the. dollar declining and in flation drawing near. “But that is not all,” Curran de clared; “the veterans’ organizations, as soon as the prepayment of the bonus is authorized by you—if It is—are go ing after you for service pensions, that is to say, for money pensions to vet erans just because they are veterans, even though they were never touched by the war. “And this means more billions band ed out to a special class at the nnjust expense of all the rest of onr people who are trying, In the face of heavy taxes and financial uncertainty, to struggle up out of five years of bard times.” U A PPY days are nearing for the -t A indigent, for the Social Security board is beginning to operate.- It has announced the appointment of five per sons who will administer the social security act Murray W. Latimer of Mississippi was appointed director of the bureau of federal old age benefits. R. Gordon Wagenet of Berkeley, Calif., was ap pointed director of the bureau, of un employment compensation. Miss Jane M. Hoey of New York was made di rector of the public assistance bureau of the social security board. Louis Resnick of New York was named di rector of the informational service bureau. ■ The board also announced the ap pointment of Robert E. Huse of Cam bridge, Mass., as 1 assistant. t j AVlNG spent ahout $22,000,000 in connection with the steamship Leviathan, the government will now spend approximately 19,000,000 more on the building of a new vessel to take the place of the great ship that was taken from Germany In wartime. Secretary of Commerce Roper an nounced the acceptance of a contract submitted by the United States Lines for construction of a sister ship to the Washington and Manhattan. The contract was executed by' the shipping line with the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock corporation for $11,900,000 for the hew ship Un der the new agreement the government may lend up to 75 per cent of S9000- 000 of the cost of the vessel. ’ * MRS..

W»SHINGTONM>.cT Washington1-T h e dictionary says the word confusion means mixed indis criminately; dlsor- C onfuston dered, deranged; Is th e W o rd perplexed; b e w 11- dered, or discon certed. There probably Is no better, word to describe the situation in Washington over the past three weeks than the word confusion. If one keeps an eye half open, one cannot help seeing all of the things mentioned in the diction ary definition of tbe word. There might be an addition. If I were to expand the definition and make it just a little more applicable to the circumstances in the national Capital, I would add “running around In circles.” The reconvening of congress always is a signal for commotion, and con fusion and tent nerves. The opening sessions, nevertheless, usually have been mild for a few days. The climax was reached by a gradual building up of excitement to the moment of tbe annual message of the President on the state of the Union. This time, how ever, the, climax came quickly and in stead of a subsidence, as we usually have seen, the crest of the wave of ex citement continued. If this is a baro metric prediction of what we may see in the forthcoming political campaign, there will be, indeed, a battle. That the picture of Washington con fusion may be pieced together, let us review In briefest form some of the things that happened: Congress reconvenes at noon on a Friday—orders go from the White House to the Capitol that the Presi dent desires to deliver his annual speech on the state of the Union im mediately — arrangements are made promptly for a night session (the sec ond of its kind in history)—President Roosevelt delivers a masterful dis course on international affairs, virtu ally naming names of autocratic rulers throughout the world and demanding that they cease arbitrary programs leading to war, and follows that with a plain political speech regarding do mestic affairs, challenging New Deal opponents to undo what the New Deal administration had done—Republican National Chairman Fletcher bitingly attacks the political phases of the Roosevelt speech-on the state of the Union and demands that- radio broad casting companies give New Deal op ponents the same time and the same stations for broadcasting a political an swer—broadcasting company replies show a desire to be fair with radio time and toss back to Mr. Fletcher the difficult task of selecting individuals to answer Mr. Roosevelt. * • • The Supreme court In a momentous leclslon invalidates the Agricultural _ Adjustment act, K atl a t key measure of Supreme Court New Deal reform —M r. Roosevelt declines comment on this decision but New Deal spokesmen otherwise settle down around the ears of the nine jus tices with vitriolic comment—New Deal critics of the court and the in stitution move swiftly to revise the Constitution to fit New Deal theories and to curb the power of the judiciary, preventing It from interfering In their determination to remake America— Agriculture Secretary Wallace and Ag ricultural Administrator Davis call farm leaders to consider ways and means for reviving or superseding the “gentle rain of checks” that was AAA —the annual budget of estimates for expenditures from July 1 ,1D36, to June 30,1937, carrying $6,752,606,000, is sent to congress—relief appropriations are omitted; result, no one can tell yet how large the next year’s expenditures will be—house and senate agriculture lead ers scurry hither .and yon, hold confer ences, discuss political repercussions from the invalidation of AAA and get nowhere very rapidly. * * » Wheelhorses of the Democratic party rush through plans for and hold the a * te n annual Jackson day A t fo u dinner on the anni- Per Plate versary of the battle of New Orleans!

I base that prediction upon the view taken of It by Postiriaster General Farley, the king-pin Democratic politician and the reactions that have come editorially and In news columns to the President’s Jackson day dinner speech and the political phases of his message on the state of the Union. Mr. Farley made no bones about the prospect. He fore sees all kinds of mud slinging, mis representation and personal attacks. Aside from bis statesmanlike discus sion of international problems, Mr. Roosevelt’s message to congress de scended to the point where he.was defi nitely cataloging all opposition to the New Deal as “greedy and selfish” men and women. Every one of them, In the President's opinion, has a personal ax of 'avarice to grind. He intends, ap parently, to make that his theme song. Whether his conclusions are right or wrong is- not in question here. The point is. that since Mr. Roosevelt has opened the fire In that manner, he can naturally expect the same type of fire to be returned. In the, language of the twelve-year-old ruffian: “He asked for It” There was. another striking thing about the Roosevelt speeches to con gress and to tbe Jackson day diners. For the first time since he has occu pied the White House, he gave every evidence of being nettled and nervous. He spoke in a voice that appeared to be tired; there was lacking that buoy ancy, that smile, when he spoke that used to characterize his 'expressions. You will recall undoubtedly that for a long time in the early part of his ad ministration he was wholly unmindful of his enemies, ignored them complete ly, and plowed straight ahead with a determination that won him many friends. Lately, however, there has been unmistakable evidence of a mar* tyr complex in his manner. * * • Referring again to the two speeches, I have heard any number of observers . comment, first, on L aying his v almost tearful His Lines aPPeal at tbe conclusion of his speech to congress, and secondly, to his thinly veiled comparison , between himself and president Jackson when he spoke to the Jackson day diners. I am not making any predictions as to-where Uiis trend will lead. It is important to note, however, that it is an old political trick to impugn the motives of the opposition. Such was the mood into which former President Herbert Hoover fell when In 1931 it became apparent his political life was on the skids and slipping fast When he was “on bis way out” .Mr. Hoover became so -picayunlsb that even his own associates found It difficult to do the things be wanted done In the way he desired. -This condition continued to develop until he began to complain personally about the “hair shirts” that he had to wear. The “hiair shirts” in cident probably was the best tip-off to the sinking feeling that had begun to permeate Mr. Hoover’s outlook at that time. The. rest is history. As to the course which Mr. Roose velt Is following in impugning the mo tives of his opposition, one can hardly take objection because it. has been done so often and for'the further rea son that neither Mr. Roosevelt nor Mr. Farley is a political novice. I be lieve that Washington observers gen eral^ give each of these men credit for being thoroughly versed In politics and since Mr. Roosevelt is “d im ly con scious that a campaign is under way andean election is scheduled,” he nat urally is laying his lines. They will be PUu Ume t0 One with „ re. sultant display for public, view intend ed to convince the person of small means or no means at all that he: is T 1ori that he lnte°ds and seeks ? t0 protect them from thoseselfish and greedy groups who seek to grind down the population for the sake or profit.

Budget Control Taken Over by the “Spenders” President Itoosevelt’s assurance thai “we approach a balance of the na tional budget,” given In his January message to Congress raises a question as to how far the Bureau of the Budget was able to assist In preparing the 1930-1937 budget In his annual budget message to Congress In January, 1934, the Presi dent said: “Up to now there has been no co ordinated control over emergency ex penditures. Today by executive or der I have imposed that necessary con trol in the Bureau of the Budget.” Oii the same day he issued an execu tlve order bearing the. title: "Prohibiting the further obligation of ;emergency funds prior to approva, of' estimates of expenditures by Di rector of the Bureau of the Budget.” Three days later, January 6, tlv President issued the following order which escaped the attention of the press: “Executive Order No. 6548, date-i January 3, 1934, is hereby revoked and rescinded.” This reversal of a position publiclj taken three days previously was sup posed to have been , due ta pressure of . . the spending i, bureaus.
