James Roosevelt eldest son of the President and heir apparent to the throne, provided Queen Eleanor ab­ dicates in his favor, has been ap; pointed by his daddy a lieutenant colonel in the U. S. Marines, the figbtingest unit of Uncle Sam’* military establishment, and the ma­ jority of the armed forces of the nation as well as the common peo pie are resenting such action. The Marines are first in the line of duty and every single member of this fighting organization won his spurs, and to bring an inter loper, a life insurance agent if yon please, even if he is the son and Crown Prince of the President, and place him head and shoulders above old liners is an act that calls for resentment. v It was an ill-advised action on the part of the President in placing bis son over the heads of'even An napolis graduates but in these par Iousdaysthe King can do no harm. T h a t fanatical worshiper of Roosevelt, the Greensboro News; cannot even stomach this latest ac don on the part of the President Hear it: “It is our conviction—and we haven’t been given to grousing about it—that fhese United States of America went plumb for Franklin D. Roosevelt on November 3. Mark you, we don’t say they went Dem ocratic; for as we understand po litical line ups the party of Grover Cleveland is even deader than that of Abraham Lincoln. “ But conceding the overwhelm ing defeat of perhaps' a vast ma­ jority of those who used to think they knew what some of all this con duct of public affairs was about, we have not yet constituted our riding family as royalty j and there is in the! AmericangbyeTiiQentsiettipno pro vision for the sort of thing we be IievetheEnglish designate as a civil list. "Ergo when we see it stated iD the public prints that James, Roose velt has been appointed a lieuten­ ant colonel of marines and right now is detailed to attend his father on a good will trip to South America at $ 4 0 4 a mouth we don't like it one whit better' than if the Congress should patent him as Earl if Hyde Park or Duke of Passamaquoddy and give him a monthly letter ot credit to the United States treas­ ury. “For aught we know to the con­ trary young Roosevelt is a nice chap, worthy in all respects of bis high heritage; (pit we do not think —nor do we believe that you, gen­ tle reader, think—that he rates a lieutenant colonelcy in the marines. This splenaui division of the mili tary service has been aforetime and perhaps is now being, used occasion­ ally to confer titles on and put into uniforms^;'some who could never have made the grade by way of West Pointjir Annapolis; but usually the youugsterswbo are given such po­ litical appointments are not advanc­ ed beyond the rank of second lieu tenant and there is reason to believe that’ they will stick around until some top sergeant has taught them to keep their noses clean and to wash back of ,their ,military, ears.

Forward through the ages Inunbrokenline Move the faithful spirits At the call divine Giits.of varying measure, Hearts of one accord; Manifold the labor, Oae the sure reward. Not alone we triumph. Not alone we fall, In each loss or triumph, Lose or conquor all; Bound by God’s far purpose In one living whole. Move we on forever Toward the shining goal The more it changes, the more it is the same. So runs an old proverb of France. Changes in costume and customs, in manners and mansions, in ideas and ideals, are evident. But underneath the surface of changing time, the deeps are tbe same Menin all ages are alike. Their, problems and needs are simi­ lar. And their resultant actions are remarkably the same. Emerson re­ marked that all the best books of the world seem to have been written by one wise old gentleman. In the past year, among my reading have been books by Fenelon, Augustine, Tawney, Von Huge?f*Savonarola, Noyes, Kagawa. Neither in cen­ tury, nationality, partisanship, liter­ ary viewpoint are these alike. Fenelon, a French priest of the Roman Catholicchurch in the age of Louis XIV; Augustine, in Hipoo, north Africa, in the sixth century when Roman civilization was col­ lapsing he/ore the barbarians, Taw­ ney records tbe writing and deeds of innumerable medieval and Refor­ mation Christians of all varieties; on Hugel, a liberal Catholic who died only afew years ago: Noyes, an OUtstandinif English poet: Savo narola, the reformer of Florence in 1492; Kagawa, the militant Christ­ ian leader of Japan today. Yet in them all I encontered the same cen­ tral stream of teaching, the same views of life, often identical words. I found in them ideas and phrases thought I had originated and which I had used in sermons. Tbe church knows more than I do. There is a traditional and central rule of faith and lite.: There are certain elements of the Christian faith always occupying a vital place in it. The morality taught in all centuries is very similar. And the social morality held forth is almost tbe same; Capable of adaptation to diverse ages and surroundings, it is yet tbe same center . The New Testament is still true today. Most ot it is re enacted in our streets. We may still see the people St. James saw. and|seVth6se who persecuted turn the world up side down like St. Paul j, Tbe bles­ sedness of the beatitudes and the formalism of the Pharisee are still present. Ih.‘.'They Call Me Car­ penter,’’ Upton Sinclair wrote of fesus as coming to the world today. He came to .Los Angeles arid when tbe movies could not exploit.

One does not have^to agree literally with Sinclair to get the massage, Jesus would be crucified today by the saipe respectable, churchly, well to d o p eo p le who crucified Him twenty centuries ago. His teach­ ings are as unwelcome to men as they were^then.s Even the Old staffi6 utis*still true. Every day one encounters 'men who look - like Micah decryptions .or women Jwho resemble 'Amos’, !'remarks,.;.. Even Christ is the same today, except for being visably present...

WhiIe NorthCarolinais on the eve of another nghl in the legisla ture, it Is interesting to observe bow tbe battle is going in other sections of the country. The record reveals that on Nov ember 3 there were 2,170 referenda on the liquor question in all sec­ tions on of the United States. Of these the wets won 1,116 , the dry 1 °54 On fir«t thought, that would ap­ pear to be a tight game oi football in which each team scored a goal, and tbe drys missed the kick. But that is not the case. These figures mean, roughly, that tbe wets held the drys for no gains in 1,116 scrimmages, but that the drys gain­ ed 1,054 units of the wet territory, and the wets gained no ground. Does that mean the early return of prohibition in the country as a whole? No. But it does mean that repeal has failed to make good with the voters. Conditions under pro­ hibition were unsatisfactory. Un der repeal they are far worse. Federal figures show that com­ mitments for drnnkenness fell off 55 per cent, during the first three vears of prohibition. Under the first three years of repeal arrests for drunkenness have shot up like a skyrocket, in spite of the frank ad mission of many police departments that under repeal the' volume of drunkenness has got out of bounds so that only those drunks who are disorderly or are unable to take care of themselves can be arrested. Otherwise the jail would be inade­ quate to house them. The Boston Globe exclaims that alcoholism has incraesed to such an extent that the City Hospital Sys­ tem is overrun with alcoholic pa­ tients, and the hospital authorities state that alcoholism has become "the greatest and most expensive of their problems.” • - Dr. Karl Bowman, of the Bellevue Hospital.

The Chi­ nese Generalissi­ mo Chiang Kai- Shek, attached to the ancient Chi­ nese belief that right is so power­ ful that it does not “require to be supported or en- fo rced by might,’’ is arrest­ ed by his muti­ nous troops de­ manding “an im­ mediate declara­ tion of war against Japan; recov­ ery of all Chinese territory, includ­ ing Manchuria.” This outbreak worries Tokyo, and It might, if China had a few fight­ ing leaders, with enough airplanes and good pilots. China now is like Niagara Falls before the turbines were put in, much power going to waste. What could military genius and modern weapons accomplish, backed by a nation of 400,000,000? : Helen Coberly said she “never liked girl’s clothes, wanted to be a boy.” EIiHions of other girls have said that. Helen lived up to it, put on boy’s clothes, went through the boys’ high school to the senior class, earning her way “digging ditches, mending fences.” Known to be a girl, expelled from the class, she weeps. Some intelli­ gent young man with blue eyes and a kind heart, marrying Hden Co- berly, might some day be the fa­ ther of a great American. I The former King Edward has bid farewell to England, and England and the rest of the world bid fare- ,well to the young man, who told his .people; “I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of re­ sponsibility without the help and support of the woman I love.” A good many then might say that who do not realize it. Whoever wrote, or helped to write that broadcast, it was a sincere, touching fareweH to the world's highest position, and weU done. There is no doubt that the young King inspired it. 1 Russia’s production of gold in­creases rapidly, with 144 gold fields active; the total production not less than $200,000,000 a year, and ac­ cording to some estimates nearly $500,000,000. Russia already surpasses Canada and the United States in gold pro­ duction, and expects soon to sur­ pass the British South African gold fields, and all the gold goes to the government. Prospectors and min­ ers get “praise.” 1 Tkis gold production does not mean greater power for bolshevism. Quite the other way, it may be the worst thing that could happen to the Karl Marx-Lenin-Stalin theory. As nations and individuals be­ come rich they become conserva­tive. 1 There is still reverence for Eng­ lish kings in “democratic Amer­ica.” In New York clubs of “aris­ tocratic” membership aU rose when the broadcast began,.and not one sat down while the King was speaking. In England they sat down, they are used to kings 'there. Mrs. C. H. Wilson of Columbia, S. C., went farther; her house was on fire, she told firemen, let me know if you think the roof wiU fall, and went on listening to Prince Ed­ ward, while the house burned. - It takes a long time to breed out of human beings that which is in- bred into them through ages; hence the persistence of our various su­ perstitions. Intelligent Dr. Craster, health of­ficer of Newark, N.

Consumption begins in infancy; babies usually get it from tubercu­ lar mothers who kiss them on Hie mouth. Congress resumes work soon; what will it do, and try to do?

News Review; of Current Everitilthe World Over President Roosevelt President Back in Washington Preparing for Inauguration —Hopkins May Get New Cabinet Postr-'Wallace Urges Pehnanent Crop Control. By EDWARD W. PICKARD © Western Newqiaper Union. D ETURNING to Washington in fine health and spirits after his trip to Buenos Aires, President Roosevelt plunged into a great mass of work that had accumulated on his , desk. . There were numerous re- p o r ts on govern­ ment activities to be read, plans for the inaugural on Janu­ ary 20 to be made, outlining of his inau­ gural address, and consultation with the fuU cabinet con­cerning th e pro­ gram for his second term. StiU more immediate was the task of writing his annual message on the state of the nation and his budget message for the coming fis­ cal year. Then, too, he is expected to devote considerable time to con­ sideration of the revamping of the cabinet and- to plans for reorganiz­ ing the government machinery in various departments. The inaugural ceremonies wiU be simple in accordance with Mr. Roosevelt’s wishes, and the tradi­ tional ball will be omitted. After consultation with Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, chairman of the inaugural committee and V ice President Garner, it was decided that the parade should be limited to units from the army, navy and marine corps and from the West Point and Annapolis academies. Governors of aU Hie states will be invited but they will be limited to three motor cam apiece. There will be no civilian organizations in the parade. Grand stands are being constructed on both sides of Penn­ sylvania avenue at the White House, and on the steps of the CapitoL One of Mr. Roosevelt's first duties was a sad one—that of attending the funeral services for August Gen- nerich, his close friend and body­ guard who died suddenly in Buenos Aires. The services were held in the White House and with the Presi­ dent were Mis. Roosevelt, Vice President and Mrs. Garner and cab­ inet members. A delegation of New York City policemen was pres­ ent to pay the respects of the “fin­ est” to one who had served with distinction on the force for twenty- five years. The President and his household were cheered by news from Boston that Franldin D. Roosevelt,'' Jr., Hl in a hospital with a streptococcus infection and sinusitis, was recover­ ing rapidly, that an operation prob­ ably would not be necessary and that the young Harvard senior has a good chance of spending Christ­ mas in the White House. TOHN HAMILTON is still chair- ” man of the Republican national committee. A t a meeting in Chi­ cago 74 of the 76 members in at­ tendance rejected his resignation, and he responded: “I’m gratified, and TH keep right on working.” The opposition to Hamilton was led by Hamilton Fish of New York, but it dwindled rapidly during the de­ bate. Before adjournment Hamilton was empowered to appoint a group of Republicans soon to formulate a plan to bring the party funds out of the red. Treasurer C. B. Goodspeed reported that the campaign expendi­ tures were $6,546,776, and that the deficit was $901,501. “ C ECRETARY OF PUBLIC WEL- FARE” miay be the title of a new member of the President’s cabinet, and it may be held by Harry L. Hopkins, WPA administrator. The creation of this department h a s been under consid­ eration for some time and becomes probable with the plans for consolida­ tion of several gov­ ernmental agencies and activities per­taining to public welfare, from the social security program and the in­ dependent office of education to the children’s-bureau now in the Department of Labor. There has been talk that the new department might be given to Miss Perkins, who is slated to retire from the labor secretaryship, but general opinion is that Hopkins, favorite money dispenser of the adminis­ tration, will get the job. WITH five men and two women aboard, a big linbr of the Western Air Express disappeared in fog and storm south of Salt Lake City and it was believed it ‘ had crashed and that all seven persons were kiUed either in its faU or by exposure. Searching parties found possible traces pf toe accident in a broken tree and “tracks" in the snow, but the weather was so severe and the region so isolated 'that toe hunt was badly hampered. Those aboard toe plane which start- H.L. Hopkins ed from Los Angeles were Mr. and Mrs. John Wolfe of Chicago, just married; Henry W. Edwards of Min­neapolis; Carl Christopher of Dwight, 111.; Stewardess Gladys Witt, and Pilots S. J. Samson and William Bogan. P XTENSION of the glass workers’ •*-' strike to plants in Toledo, Charleston, W. Va., and Shreveport, La., brought the flat glass industry almost to a standstill. The clos­ ing of these factories is directed against toe automobile industry, but the Ford company is equipped to produce its own glass and toe other automobile makers are said to have enough glass in stock for a month. It was estimated that 14,- 300 men were idle at the plants of the Libby -Owens and Pittsburgh Plate Glass companies. The new strikes were called after leaders of the Federation of Flat Glass Workers failed to reach an agreement with representatives of the two companies concerning strikes already in progress. Libbey- Owens also was negotiating for a new union contract, their old one having expired. Employers said the impasse was reached as a result of the union’s determined demands for a closed shop, a checkoff system of union dues, and wage increases. Glen W. McCabe, president of the Glass Workers’ federation, denied toe union was demanding a closed shop or that the checkoff system had to be granted. OECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE ^ WALLACE in his annual report to the President, recommends that, instead of “emergency crop adjust­ ments,” the government establish a permanent production control. In this Mr. Wallace ignores toe opin­ ion of toe Supreme court in the Hoosac Mills case holding that congtess has no power to regulate agriculture. The secretary said that shortage caused by drouth could only be temporary and that the natural reaction will be production that wiU glut toe market and pfie up surpluses. Soil conservation alone, he said, is not a sufficient preventive of overproduction. In another section of his report, WaUace cited figures showing that imports of agricultural products ex­ceeded exports by 418 miUion dol­ lars in the fiscal year 1936. He blamed this, however, on • toe drouth, rather than toe scarcity pol­ icies of the old AAA and the admin­ istration’s trade agreements. The report asserted that a per­ manent agricultural policy should achieve “soil conservation, consum­ er protection, and crop control al­ together,” but outlined no specific plan for attaining all those objec­tives. TOACHIM VON RIBBENTROP, ” GermanambassadortoEngland,. addressing an English audience in London, told toe world plainly that Germany intends to scrap “the discrimi­ nating part of the VersaiUes treaty” and that AdolfJSit- Ier is determined to regain colonies for his country. “One thing is cer­ tain,” he said, “and this I cannot help stating: Germany has made up h e r mind to get rid of that discriminating part of the VersaiUes treaty which no great nation could have tolerated forever. ' “To attain this aim by agree­ ment, der fuehrer and chanceUor made his offer to the world, but the world, stiU blind and wrapped up in toe mentahty which is generaUy known today as ‘the spirit of Ver- saiUes,’ did not respond. “But der fuehrer sees now, as before, in toe possession of col­ onies desired for supply of raw ma­ terials only, on one side, and in world trade on toe other, two most essential means of raising the standard of life of his people from toe present subsistence level. “A reasonable solution to toe colonial question, therefore, is most desirable and to my mind to the interest of aU in toe long run.” TT WAS announced in London that 1 Great Britain and Italy had al­ most agreed, on the terms for a mu­ tual declaration of interests in the Mediterranean.' At toe same time Foreign Secretary Eden told the house of commons that on Septem­ ber 12 the British government warned Mussolini that he must keep his hands off the Spanish Balearic islands. He said there was now reason to beUeve Italy would not enter into negotiations' with Gen­eral Franco, toe' Spanish' Fascist leader, for a change in toe Medi­ terranean status quo. Eden added that Great Britain had not recog­ nized Italy’s annexation of Ethiopia and did not intend to do so. - A - r '" ■ Joachim Von Ribbentrop NatuinaI Topics Jntecpreted by William Bruckart Washington — Senator O’Mahoney of Wyoming has prepared a bUl for _ _ introduction early T oC ontrM - jn the new con- Rostness gress that wiU set up, if it becomes law, a comprehensive mechanism to control and regulate some of toe principal activities of business cor­ porations. It is a far reaching prop­ osition, as it now stands, and it cannot be passed off lightly. There is support for it in a number of quarters. WhUe it undoubtedly will not become law in its present form, it must be regarded as the opening wedge. The Wyoming senator’s principal idea is to require businesses of an incorporated character to take out a federal Ucense. If they do not comply, the proposed law would deny them the right to ship goods into retaU trade between states. WhUe toe main theme of toe prop­ osition does not seem anything about which one should get excited, it is toe things that can be done behind such a general requirement that, must and wiU be examined by con­ gress and the country before it takes a step of the kind advocated by Senator O’Mahoney. For exam­ ple, if toe federal government is permitted to require businesses to obtain a Ucense or charter from Washington, those businesses may be compeUed to meet aU manner of requirements before such a U- cense or charter is granted. In the reverse, if after they have toe li­ cense, they faU to observe the pro­ visions laid down either by congress or bald - headed bureaucrats, re­ vocation of the Ucense is the pen­alty thatimay be exacted. It should be added that exaction of a penalty of this kind, once the license provi­ sion is established as a federal gov­ ernment right, becomes a powerful weapon and toe limit to which that power may be exercised is scarcely to be forecast. WhUe, as I said, toe O’Mahoney legislation may not be expected to become law in its present form, its terms and provisions give a hint of VJlKt can be expected of any legislauon of a simUar character. Take this provision, for example: “Rates of pay shaU be increased and hours of work shaU be reduced in accordance with gains in the productive efficiency of toe. indus­ try, arising from increased mechan­ ization, improvements in technologi­ cal methods, or from other causes, tc toe end that employees shaU have an equitable participation in toe out­put of industry, and that employ­ ment and mass purchasing power may keep pace with industry.” * * * iIt seems quite obvious that-under such a basic statement of princi- . , Pies, a business D telatorud could easily be P ow ers made to agree to ' collective bargain­ ing among its employees, to estab- Uto minimum wages and to foUow toe dictates of some bureau or com­ mission in Washington in actual management and promulgation of policies. Indeed, it is set forth in the O’Mahoney draft that the fed-, eral trade commission would be au­ thorized to obtain aU "relevant and detailed data as to production costs, prices and profits.” As I see this sort of thing and from toe views of experts with whom I have consulted, I cannot escape toe conclusion that such leg­ islation simply extends to the fed­eral government dictatorial powers over virtually aU private business. It means, moreover, that politics and politicians would be toe guiding force and that if union labor leaders were in control of the agency hav­ ing supervisory powers over busi­ ness or if communists or conserv­ atives or any other class were in control, business would be directed in accordance with the economic views of that school of thought. Since our nation frequently hands toe responsibility of government control from one poUtical party to toe other, the impUcations of such legislation as this are tremendous, to say the least. Constitutional questions enter into this legislation and it may be that toe basic theory advanced by the Wyoming senator will not hold at all. As I understand it, Senator O’Mahoney is holding no pride of authorship as to toe language of his bill but to toe principles he strongly adheres. So, it is made to appear at least, as I said above, that this proposal constitutes an en­ tering wedge on an entirely new theory of government’s relation to private business. For that reason, it is one of the most significant propositions to come forward in re­ cent years, more significant, I be­ lieve, than the ill-fated NRA. It certainly is a proposition that should be watched closely by all citizens. Affairs of toe heart are all right privately, our, American Depart- . . me“t of S ta teM txutg IR holds, but it re - Love M a in serves the right to horn into any love affair that involves an American for­ eign service officer. It is' aU per­ fectly open and above board. ITie Department of State has put its conclusions into writing, into an offi­ cial regulation, and hereafter no foreign service officer can marry an alien while he is in toe foreign service unless he gets toe consent of “father” State department. . It is immensely interesting but Aot significant in an international Way that toe State department’s or­der1 concerning international mar­ riages should have been promul­ gated during the heat of the British constitutional crisis over King Ed­ ward’s determination to marry the American > born Wallis Waifield Simpson. It simply happened to come along at the same- time, but since all toe world loves a lover, in Washington one hears reference to toe SimpsonrEdward affair men­ tioned many times in the same breath with the State department decree. This obtains because nearly all of our foreign service people have relations or friends in the na­ tional capital and the decree for­ bidding international marriages set' many tongues to wagging. . But the State department ruling ought to be treated with utmost seriousness and' sincerity. It is im­ portant. It is necessary to stretch toe imagination a great way in or­ der to assume that international marriages of the type banned by. the State department would “shake an empire” after the manner of international marriages among roy­ alty. On toe.other hand, it seems to me to be quite fair to say that in­ ternational marriages-among offi­ cial representatives of a nation can very easily prove embarrassing to the government by which toe for­ eign service officer receives creden­ tials. In fact, there are instances on record where such marriages have proved to be serious obstacles in toe settlement of disputes be­ tween governments. Then, it must be considered that there is a genuine possibility of war in Emrope in the next few years. A tremendous tragedy is being pre­ pared there. While obviously any governmental decision that has the effect of keeping lovers apart arouses antagonism, a sympathetic feeling among all with tender hearts, in this circumstance, the rule seems well justified. In addition to follow­ ing the lead of other nations on toe point, our State department has banned these international mar­ riages largely in order to keep our nation free from any possible en­ tanglements in event of that Eu­ropean tragedy that looms like red fire on the horizon of the future. Marriages heretofore contracted, of course, will not be disturbed by toe new ban, but elimination of that source of potential difficulty for toe future is regarded as likely to be valuable. I have heard criticism of the State department’s order on the ground that affairs of the heart are private affairs—which indeed:they are. But it must be remembered that where an individual accepts the rights, prerogatives and priv­ ileges of official position, he accepts at toe same time certain definite responsibilities. In the case of a foreign service officer, his accept­ ance of toe government title makes him at once and the same time a part of that government in a most peculiar way. Becaiise foreigners do not understand our government any better than we understand foreign governments, when an American foreign service officer speaks, , he speaks actually as the American government. Chie need not amplify this further than to say, therefore, one of that official’s responsibilities' is to carry out policy. National- pol­ icy can be arranged only at its proper sources, namely, the Pres­ ident and toe Department of State. So, while budding romances may be blighted, heartaches may arise, soft lights in the eyes of men and maidens may be dimmed by toe cruel, and cold words of official regu­ lations, it needs must be said that toe welfare of a great nation must supersede the personal desires of a lonely man for a mate. Thus, where any of our American diplomats or consular officers here­ after feel they cannot tread life’s highway without toe accompaniment of .a foreign-born princess of their dreams, they simply will have to resign from their jobs and bring toe lady borne.

Be right back.”Pardaloe spurred back to the Jatl onice while his companions counted time. He rejoined them after three minutes that seemed to Denison thir­ty. “For God’s sake! Are yon ready now?” Denison chopped off the words furiously. “AU set. Bill,” returned Pardaloe peacefully. “You hustled me so, I got the wrong hat, boy.” Denison was waspish with Impa­ tience. “Man alive, what difference floes It make what hat you wear?” he demanded testily. “A whole lot of difference,” returned Pardaloe with warmth. “Had.on my new hat. It might git plugged.” Three men rode with Denison that night—Pardaloe, Bob Scott, and Frying Pan. The ponies were fresh and the men eager. They stopped at Gunlock. A light was still burning In the living room of the ranch house. When the men pulled up in the yard, Denison sprang from the saddle, ran to the door, and knocked. "Who's there?” were the low words from within. “fs that you, Jane? It’s Bill."She flung the door open. “Bill,” she cried, “what are you doing here?” “I think I’m needed here.

How did you know?” “Bob Scott and John Frying Pan have strict orders to bring me ranch news of the kind that came today.” . “Ben Page rode in to get Dr. Carpy.” “Tell me quickly, dear, what hap­ pened this afternoon,” he urged. “McCrossen rode out to get some things, so he said. It was sitting here sewing. Bill, when in walked McCros­ sen. He said he was going away for good. I said I wished him luck.” Jane hesitated a moment “He asked me to kiss him good-by. I said no. He got angry and swore he’d take as many as he wanted. I tried to run to the front door. He caught me, and I was fighting him in his arms when Henry Sawdy walked in at the kitchen door. “Henry told him to let go of me. That man acted like a tiger. “He turned on Sawdy. ‘Get out of here, Sawdy,’ he shouted. I begged Sawdy to protect me. He drew his gun! “ Let go that girl!’ Sawdy said. “McCrossen turned on Henry, his gun In his hand. “Henry didn't dare fire for fear of hitting me. McCrossen fired point- blank at Henry, and he fell In a heap. I screamed, tore myself loose, and ran out the front door and hid behind a tree. McCrossen walked out as cool as could be, put up his gun, mounted and rode away. Bill, Pm glad you’re here! I don’t feel safe a minute!” He comforted her as best be could. “I must see how had Henry is hurt, then I’m off with Pardaloe and Bob Scott after McCrossen. He’s running off steers tonlght*1- Wlth Jane, he went to the bed on which Sawdy had been laid. Sawdy looked pleasantly surprised as Jane held up the lamp anfi he saw Denison. “Well, Bill,” he, said coolly, “the old foreman is shootin' nt> up today.” “Henry, where arc you hit?” • “In the side, Bill, hut it ain’t over- serious. You see, McCrossen—”“Jane told me, Henry. Don’t waste any strength talking.” “When I seen his game to hold Jane Jor a shield, I made up my mind to drop at his first shot—" “You did a good job. Now keep quiet” He told Sawdy of the word be bad from the Indians that a bunch of two- and three-year-olds were to be run off that night; that George Plenty Bear was watching in the hills, and that he, Denison, and Pardaloe hoped to pick up the trail without much delay. - Over the rim of the hills a full moon was rising into a cloudless sky. Jane, with tightened lips, her heart pounding In her throat, her straining eyes tear­ less, stood In the open doorway watch­ ing the ghostly figures of the four horsemen silhouetted against the sky, as they made their way up the ridge that led to the hill divide; From the moment Denison and his companions crossed the divide, they were riding into enemy country. Frying Pan was asked to strike farther down and across the reserva­ tion; the rendezvous had been fixed at a point on Deep Creek. With the hills behind them, Denison, Scott, and Pardaloe made their way down the creek breaks to the bench- lands. They were aware of . a rough cattle trail along the east bank of the creek, but the night, as they halted on tke creak' bench, was silent Denison conjectured wrongly that the cattle had been driven -past this point Working carefully downstream through clomps of willows and aldem along the benches, Scott pushed ahead to locate the phantom Frying Pan. The lone Indian after a time came down from the hills. He was taciturn. “No­body go by,” was all he said.Denison questioned him closely with­ out shaking his certainty that neither cattle nor horsemen had passed down the east bank. The west bank, where the pursuers were now halted, was impassable for cattle. “They’ve taken another trail,” Bob,” declared Denison to Scotb “There’s an overgrown trail through the timber to the south. It’s a long way around and rough, and they took it to throw off pursuit But that may beat them yet.” “How so?” “They’ve got to double back, lower downstream to strike Deep Creek again with the cattle. WeH play it so, anyway. It’s into the brush for us. We can’t cross the horses here; H I’m wrong, and they’re above us yet it’s safer to stick to this side, any­ way.” “Where can they strike the creek?” “About a mile above the old bridge.”“How we goln’ to get to them?” “We’ve got to cross that bridge.” Scott smiled a sickly smile. “That bridge’s been failin’ to pieces for 10 years.” “John,” said Denison to Frying Pan, “feel out the scrub for us. Let’s go!” The riding was rough and the pace through the chaparral grueling. Tbe four men reached a point where the creek bottom opened from a canyon out on low, rough country, and the rising moon shed more light “We’re a mile yet above the bridge,” said Denison. “You and John ride up the canyon wall a ways, Bob, and take another look,” he suggested. The Indians came back with news. “There's somethin’ looks like what’s left of a campfire near the bridge—” “Push on!” exclaimed Denison. “They may have halted there.” The riding grew worse. Thickets be­ came almost impassable. There never Their Hands Went Haltingly Up. had been a-trail down the west bank, and the job called for dogged en­durance.Scratched and torn, the four reached an open breathing space where rock and shale ended the fight through the scrub. The moon, clearing the moun­ tain peaks, revealed, at a distance be­low, the abandoned bridge. Not far Horn It, Denison could discern embers of the campfire Frying Pan had re­ ported. “Where there’s been a fire, there’s been men,” said Denison. “They may be there yet But we’ve got to watch both sides of the creek. Suppose yon, Bob, and Frying Pan get over to the east bank—” “How?” “The bridge.”Scott grinned but shook bis head. “There’s ten feet of plankin’ gone In one place from the floor of the old bridge. Nobody can cross that We could maybe crawl across In the day­ time—not now.”“Wq’ve got to get across somehow,” Insisted Denison. “Bob, is there any place up or down the creek where you and John can get over?” “Not with horses.” “Well, we must stop the cattle and whoever’s with ’em. PU get over, some­ how, after you. Where’s the planking off the bridge?”“The east end.” “That’s bad. No matter—dust along. Two shots from you will bring me over. Anyway,, you stop anybody that comes along with the beef. We’ll leave the horses here with Pardaloe, and while you’re getting over I’ll try to find out who these fellows are below at the fire. Bill,” he turned to Pard­ aloe—“if I need you, Fll whistle.” “O. K.,” assented the lanky Pard­aloe. Slipping off nis horse and taking his rifle, Denison crept, crawled, and rolled down the slope towards the dy­ ing fire. For a little way he could be seen and heard. Then he vanished into the shadows. Denison, though anxious to get at what lay ahead of him, was forced to work down the slope slowly. Within a long earshot of the dying .fire, he thought he heard voices. Since the men were still there, renewed caution was chlled for. Creeping over a sandy bit of bottomland, dragging his rifle after him, he could hear the voices quite plainly. He made ont two voices, but this gave no assurance that one or more men might not be asleep.Flattening on the sand, he listened. The Are and the men were not over fifty feet away. Denison could hear their words. They were talking Ehg-' llsh, though one voice was guttural and revealed a Mexican. As they were ob­ viously waiting for someone who had failed to aippear, cold, and too lazy to keep up their fire, Denison made no bones about Intruding on the pair and whoever might be with them.The first the two men beard from him was a low but plain command: “Pitch up, boys!” i The startled pair' jumped to their feet “Dp! Put ’em up,” came a sharp­ er order.- Their hands went haltingly up. They looked around to see where the voice came from, and while they looked they heard a short whistle and saw a man emerge from the chaparral not twenty feet away.'“Who the hell are you?” demanded the smaller man of the pair, with a bluster. His voice betrayed him to Denison. Tm here, same as you are, to meet some cattle coming down the creek,” returned Denison. “I’m going to help you. Clubfoot Hands up. Damn you, keep ’em where they are!” While he spoke, he heard Pardaloe cluttering through the thicket “Bill,” he added, as Parduloe appeared, “bring down the horses, will you? “These boys are waiting for the cat­ tle, same as we are,” explained Den­ ison when Pardaloe reappeared. “We don’t need four hands on the job. Take their guns. Tie ’em up till we get straight” Pardaloe; tying the mounts, stamped forward, gun In band. He searched the pair, while Clubfoot protested pro­fanely at the outrage. “I’m here to take over cattle that belong to me—bought and paid for,” stormed the butcher. Before Pardaloe bad finished rop­ ing the butcher and his helper, a shot was heard from far across the creek. Denison started almost as if the bullet had struck him. While he listened with every nerve on edge, a complete silence followed. It was not a fight. Was it a signal? Almost five minutes passed when a second shot rang into the night, Den­ ison tried to read the riddle. The first shot had come from a revolver; the second, sharper and less open, had come from a rifle. It all dawned on Denison—they were signal shots. He whirled toward Pardaloe. “Hand me Clubfoot’s gun, Bill," he said. Se­curing the gun, he fired it twice in the air. “Some guesswork here. Clubfoot,” he remarked, emptying and tossing the gun on the ground. “I don’t know whether your answer was to be one or two.” Scarcely were the words out of his mouth, when a spatter of revolvei shots rang across the creek. “Bill,” exclaimed Denison, “that’s a fight. If these birds make you the least trouble, shoot ’em. I’m going over.” “How you goin’ over?” called Pan daloe. “Quickest way I can. Bill,” he shouted. ‘The bridge.” He .was running for his horse. “You’re crazy. It’ll drop you a hun­ dred feet, man!” shouted Pardaloe.“Watch your prisoners!” Denison was galloping away. Pardaloe, petrified, watched the dls appearing horseman. Nothing but the sharp echo on his ears of flying hoofs convinced him be was not dreaming, for he never would have believed sobei Bill Denison would take so slender a chance of getting across the creek alive. The clatter of hoofs grew fainter. At times they ceased, and the old frontiersman's breath choked him Then, as if in answer to his straining ears, came the hollow sound of hoof- beats on wood. Denison had reached the bridge. - An instant later there came into Pardaloe's sight, in the distant moon­ light, the ghostlike figure of a horse flying across the rotten bridge. Par daloe divined at once that the pony had thrown his rider. Then, of a sud­ den, the riderless beast whirled with a spring, and, as if somehow guided shot ahead again—he was a third oi the way over. Pardaloe’s jaws came together squarely and comfortably, for he now understood. Denison was on that horse, dinging to its back like a pan­ther. But there was still the east-end plank gap to cross. Scott had said the big one was ten feet, but he had not seen it for a year. It might easily be twelve or fifteen feet; suppose It were twenty? • With Denison more than halfway across, the clatter of hoofs grew faint­ er. One, two, three rifle shots rang out in fairly quick succession. The rider was out of sight Pardaloe ran to higher ground. Try as he would, be could not see a thing on the. bridge. But now and again be could hear the faint hoofbeats. They ceased. Then there was a silence; then a faint, distant shout. To this day the gap that DenIsoa jumped has never been measured. The reckless rider had been spotted when he was less than halfway across McCrossen, riding behind the cattle, had galloped forward when Bebstock ahead was Intercepted and questioned by Scott The half-breed’s gun signals had been taken by Rebstock as an at­ tack, and he had fired back. Before either side really knew what it was all about they were exchanging shots. But the instant McCrossen saw the horse' dashing along the rotten bridge, his sixth sense of danger guessed the rider for an enemy, and without a mo­ ment’s hesitation he trained a rifle OS him and fired. - / (TO BE CONTINUEDij r IMPROVED UNlfORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAyl CHOOLLesson By REV.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Fact and Purpose of the Incarnation. The opening of a new year always brings with it a sense of solemn re­ sponsibility for one’s life and serv­ice, and at the same time a thrilling expectancy. No better way can be found to begin this year of our Lord, 1937, than in the study of God’s Word, not only by ourselves, but in the fellowship of others in the church and Sunday school. The series of lessons outlined for the year gives us the eagerly ap­ prehended opportunity of studying during the first three months the Gospel of John. Space does not permit of a suitable introduction to that study here, but we trust that no one will fail to read John 20:31, which states the purpose of the apostle in writing. Three great and fundamental questions are answered in chapter 1:1-18, namely, (I) Was Jesus Christ God or man? (2) Does it matter how we regard him and relate our lives to him? (3) Is there suitable evidence upon which we may rest our faith in him? I. Jesus Christ Is God (John I: 1-5). “in the beginning” of Genesis 1:1, Jesus Christ already “was” not Only “with God,” but he “was-God.” He is the living “Word,” the complete and final revelation of God. He is infinite, eternal, divine, both the Creator and Redeemer. He is both the Life and the Light of men. That Light shines in the darkness but the darkness does not comprehend it. H. Men Are Either Believers or Unbelievers (w. 6-13). There are only two classes of peo­ple who will read these lines—the saved and the unsaved. What a sol­ emn thought! To which class do I belong? The Lord of Glory, the Creator of all things, came to his own world and it “knew him not” (v. 10). How tragic is that fact, but how much deeper is the stab of the next verse, his own people “received him not.” The Light still shines in the world, and it is still all too true that men love “darkness rather than light be­ cause theiy deeds are evil” (John 3:19). Such men are lost, “dead in trespasses and sin” (Eph. 2:1). But, thank God, there are those who “receive him” (v. 12), and to them he gives the power or authori­ ty, to be the sons of God. This change is expressly declared to bea. Not by reason of family, or heredity, “not of blood” ; b. Not by natural instinct or de­ velopment, not “of the will of the flesh” ; and c. Not by human volition or will power, not “of the will of man, but of God.” These are important matters and seme one may well ask, “What evi­dence is there for these things?” Faith is not a .venture into the dark. We have the strongest of ail foundations in the sure Word of God. The evidences of Christianity are many, thoroughly full, and sat­ isfying to any honest inquirer. We refer to but one. HI. Our Faith Bests on the Testi­ mony of Eye Witnesses (w . 14-18) John the Baptist and John the Apostle both beheld the “glory as of the only begotten of the Father” in the One who as the “Word was made flesh and dwelt among” them.The law was “given by Moses” (v. 17), that is, God sent the law through a human messenger. “But grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” No messenger, no matter how great or worthy, would do to bring the gospel of the grace of God. His only begotten Son brought it; it came by him. Waste Not Waste not' the smallest thing created, for grains of sand make mountains. Waste not the smallest time in imbecile infirmity, for well thou knowest that seconds form eternity.—E. Knight. Growth of Friendship Friendship is no plant of hasty growth; though planted in esteem’s deep-fixed soil, gradual culture of kind intercourse must bring it to perfection.—Joanna Baillie. Good Company Without good company, all dain­ ties Ioee their true relish, and like painted grapes, are only seen, not tasted.—Massinger, Kinds of IdlenessNot only is he idle who is doing nothing, but he that might be better employed.V-Socrates. • Repose After Labor There is no. sweeter repose than that which is bought with labor.— Chamfort- Pleasure Giving— Talking to Aiivantage of Others and Joy to Onrselves in 1937 'T 'ALKING is the' recognized -t medium of communication be­tween persons who are together or who, being absent, use a tele­phone. It is unfortunate haying such a marvelous medium at our command that we so. often fail to put it to the use worthy of its value. It is- possible to send a glow of happiness through the lis­ tener when we speak merited words of. appreciation. It is pos­ sible to solace those in sorrow by words of comfort spoken from the heart. It is possible to make joy doubly gladsome by expressing our happiness in the good fortune of others. Through talking to our children we can spur them on to do fine things, or encourage them in worthy resolves. In short the good we can do by talking in the right spirit is inestimable. By talking in the right way we bring good to others and joy to ourselves.“Too Much Talk” It is when we swerve from the Here's a Smart Rug That's Easy to Make Just a simple square, repeated and joined together forms this smart rug.

There is an expression “too much talk” which is significant of this very thing. The words speak for them­ selves, declaring that it would be advisable to cease saying the things we are. It is never said of good words. Qf them we could say: Let us have more talk of the siune sort, it is needed. Many Words Have you ever considered how much is said when derogatory talk is going on? Words are spoken and reiterated over and over again, as if by repetition the un­pleasant things would be in­ creased. Unfortunately this is what happens. Unkind or unfriend­ ly conversation, by some perverse twist of human nature, is sure to be repeated, and usually with embellishments. Either the one who repeats it cannot believe her ears, and wonders if anyone else knows about the unfortunate cir­ cumstances, or else she finds a strange pleasure in repeating slander. It may be the derogatory words are against someone she dislikes. It may be they are about a total stranger. If the talk was commendatory' repeating it would foster fine things. Good things should be given frequent repetition. Pleasure Giving in 1937 We all could add so much to the pleasure and joy of living during the new1 year 1937, if we would set a watch on our talk, and by a wishful determination use this great means at our command to help others. It is one of the things that costs nothing and yet which can do such an endless amount of good. It is a way open to all alike.

A thousand petty annoy* ances and a few serious ones are being ironed out. Efven rates are being streamlined, and now you can often travel for two cents a mile or less. There are remaining only a handful of extra fare trains. Typical of the streamliners is the Marie Twain Zephyr, a long tube of stainless steel which weighs not By WILLIAM C. UTLEY W E HAD just finished dinner in a home in one of Chicago's north shore suburbs. We settled back, lighted our ciga­ rettes. There w as that tem porary after-dinner lull when I could read the minds of m y host and hostess with ease. They were thinking, “Well, now that dinner’s over, w hat are we going to do to entertain him ?” I w as wondering the sam e thing. The sun had not yet sunk in the west and there w as a long evening ahead of us. My hostess had an idea. “Let’s' drive Bill out to see the Hiawatha,” she said. “Swell!” replied the man of the house. “But grab your hats, we’ll have to hurry! And we have five miles to go!” . “What time does it begin?” I asked. “Begin?” Both were plainly puz­ zled at my question. "Yes,” I said. “I assume, it’s a pageant or something of the sort.” “Oh, no,” . she explained. “It’s one of those new railroad trains. We thought you might like to ride out and see it go by.’- , “House Is Packed.” I was too polite to ask aloud if it were true that people in this won* derful year of 1936 still gathered at the stations to see a train go by. I simply went along, resignedly. I remember wondering if anyone would catch me at it and josh me about having a stiff neck from look­ ing at the tall buildings. I got the surprise of my life. This was out in the country, but the rails were lined with little groups of peo­ ple as far as the eye could reach in either direction. They were all eager, intent, out for a good time, as if they had been coming to watch a parade or a circus. A century ago the crowds that gathered to watch the first railroad trains could not have been much more excited. It was contagious. When the mur­ mur of the crowds, heralding the approach of the train, reached us, the hair bristled on the back of my neck like a bull pup’s. In the twin­ kling of an eye .the Hiawatha, like a long, slim serpent with the speed of light was upon and past us, a swift red and orange streak that created a chill wind in the wake of its roar, depressing the tall grass and making dead leaves and cin­ ders leap momentarily to life for many feet on either side of the right-of-way. The spectators were all waving their hats and cheering, and I swear that I cheered louder than any. We all went home happy that we had seen a good show. The amazing thing is that this little scene is being re-enacted in hundreds of places throughout the United States, wherever the stream­ liners, run. Crowds like that which watched the Hiawatha are also thrilling to the sight of the Mark Twain Zephyr, the Mercury, the Su­ per Chief, the Sunset Limited, the Argonaut, the Green Diamond, the vation of this city on wheels. An Innovation In Trains. New types of berths have been created for these trains. They have sliding aluminum panels which op­ erate like roll-top desks and allow the traveler certain privacy. The upper berths have windows, and some of them even have running water. What these trains stand for In the streamlined design trend, the Chal­ lenger, which runs between Chicago and Los Angeles, stands for with respect to streamlined service. This train is the brainchild not of any engineer or designer, but of the people who ride the railroads. The vice president of the road hired a woman, Miss Avis Lobdell, to ride all the trains on a large western system, interview passengers and Above: Serving meals from a luncheon cart on one of the new stream­ lined trains.

Interiors are light and gay in ap­ pearance, pastel shades displacing the customary reds and greens of the old-time, trains. Baggage racks are gone and grips are stored out of sight. Specially treated windows will not frost or steam to obstruct the view. Complete air condition­ ing, doubly important on trains that are traveling at high speed, makes every breath of air purer and fresher than if you breathed it out in the woods. Rubber-cushioned The Twentieth Century Limited, probably the world’s most famous train, is now pulled by a streamlined locomotive. Inset: England’s streamliners look more weird than our own; this one, built at Swindon, is called the King Henry VIII. Columbine, the Moimtain Blue-Bird, the Abraham Lincoln, the Royal Blue, the Ak-Sar-Ben and others. The Twentieth Century and the Broadway limiteds are now partly streamlined. It’s F m to Travel. This is the age of speed, and the railroads with 'their streamliners are beginning to live up to it. New York to Chicago in 16%' hours, Chi­ cago to Los Angeles in 39% hours; Wasliington to New York in 4 hours; Denver tojChicago in 16 hours. Trains flyv along regularly at 90 miles an hour, sometimes hit it up to IlS or 120. What is important is that stream­ lining has come to be the symbol of a great awakening of virtually all the roads to the dawn of a new day of service and accommodation which is already revolutionizing passenger travel. New little attentions arc being showered upon the customers of the wheels make it possible to ride with the greatest of ease at 100 miles an hour and more. Radios provide entertainment and keep the passenger in touch with the world. Stewardesses look after. his com­ fort. I There are three “cars” beside the power unit on the Mark Twain. Trains like the City of San Fran­ cisco and the City of Portland, de­ signed for longer runs, may have ten or twelve. On these trains, decorations and sections are planned to make the passenger’s trip enjoyable over longer periods. The City of Den­ver, for instance, has a “room” that is a reproduction of a frontier tavern shack of the period shortly after the Civil war. Walls and ceil­ ings of rough white pine board, lighting .fixtures that ’ accurately simulate old kerosene lanterns, rough log furniture and spikes to hang vnur hats on make an inno­ find out what they wanted on a train. The suggestions were in­ corporated in the Challenger, which carries travelers on a limited sched­ ule for about Vk cents a mile, and is always packed. Some persons said that the cost of meals in the diners was too high, and some even disliked having to go from their coach into the diner because they might meet friends who were traveling first class. As a result, there is only one class on the Challenger—everybody's class. Stainless steel lunch wagons are operated through the aisles, serving breakfasts for a quarter, luncheons for 30'cents and dinner for 35 cents. Prices are just as low in the two diners. Porters Refuse Tips. Many other things on trains had annoyed some of the passengers— the petty charges for drinking cups, towels and pillows; the fact that there was usually no one to help day-coach travelers with their lug­ gage unless they engaged a redcap, and many of them could not af­ ford that; the straight-backed seats became broken-back seats on a long ride; the lights were left burning throughout the night and trainmen were constantly disturbing the sleep of passengers' by calling out the stations. On the new train there are adjust­ able reclining seats and pillows are provided free. So are towels and drinking cups. Every car carries a colored porter who takes care of the baggage, giving.it to a redcap on the platform at the station. Nei­ ther of them is permitted to take a tip. Iaghts in the coaches are put out at 10 o’clock, but little blue and amber lights are left to guide pas­ sengers and keep them from trip­ ping; there are tiny individual lamps for those who want to read. Passengers who must get off in the night are told individually—no sta­ tions are called. Another nuisance was done away with when the rule was established that tickets were to be collected only once during the 2,300-mile ride. Stewardesses Make Hit. But perhaps the greatest innova­ tion of all in this remarkable train is its stewardess—the first in the history of railroading. A registered nurse, this pleasant young woman is able to give first aid, is invalu­ able in looking after old or infirm persons. She takes care of chil­ dren, too, when they are traveling alone, or when their parents wish to leave them for. a little while. The Challenger has two cars re­served for women. The stewardess keeps the key to these cars, lock­ ing them at night to keep out stroll­ ers; even the train crews must have permission from her to walk through them. This busy young lady looks after babies that cry during the night. 'She even keeps a baby’s bottle warmer and a milk cooler in each car. This is what the railroads are doing—and finding out that it pays. The people love it. Is it any won­ der they are going down to . the ,tracks to watch the trains go by again? . ’ S WcMern Nenpnsee ttaien. Frcdric March times now.

Anottier version was that he hoped to set­tle once and for all the matter of a divorce. However, nothing ap­ parently happened. Clark spent a few days in New York and then went back to Hollywood. —■*— You can’t accuse Fredric March of high-hatting his old friends.

One of them was better off than the others so he paid the rent and bought meals.The meal-buyer is up against h a rd Fredric March isn’t.

But when he’s in New York he looks up that old friend and no- bedy’d know by his actions that he d climbed to the top of the Iad- du In other words, he deserves the highest tribute that electricians and carpenters and other workmen around the movie studios can pay a man, “He’s regular.” —■*— After his magnificent perform­ ance in “Winterset” Burgess Mere­ dith deserves the best that’s going.

At last Jack Oakie, that gay comedian of the screen, has his heart’s desire — a master of ceremo­ nies job on the air.

Seems that sometimes there is such a thing as overdoing even the best of things Time alone will tell. ______________ To all of our readers everywhere, from the storm tossed waves of the Atlantic, to the peaceful shores of the Pacific, we wish a happy and prosperous New Year. From reports we have heard there were entirely too many drunk folks around here during the Christ­ mas holidavs Since the sale of wine and beer was legalized the number of drunks have increased wonderfully. Some folks persist in arguing that wiue and beer will not intoxicate, bat seeing is believing. Many of out friends who promis­ ed that they would see us before Christmas, must have either forgot I ten us, or were held up before thev got to town. To those who did remember us, we wish to extend our profonnd thanks. We are still waiting to welcome those who did not get here before the New Year. Our business houses remained open at nights during Christmas week until 9 or 10 o’clock. We wondered why but few folks were on our streets after supper until we went to Salisbury on Tuesday night before Christmas The Salisbury streets and stores were crowded with Mocksvilie and Daviecounty people. Of course the Salisbury streets were decorated. Arthur Brisbane, one of the coun­ try’s best known editors and writers, died at his home in New York City on Christmas day, at the age of 72 years. He was one of the highest paid writers in the country, making more than a quarter of a million dollars annually from his writings. The Record was one of the many weekly newspapers that carried a column of the Brisbane news every week. Onr readers will miss this column in the future Mr. Bris­ bane’s death resulted from a heart attack. Sometimes a fellow will take- our papera yearortwo, and when asked to pay what is due, will say that he doesn’t want the paper any longer, and walk away without paying what he honestly owes us. We have nevet refused to discontinue a sub scription when requested to do so. It is generally worth a few months subscription to find out just how small some supposed Iy big men are. In a certain town in this county we have been set right on a few people, who, we thought were iust a little bigger than they really were. In traveling around over the state before Christmas we noticed that practically all of the towns from a thousand population up, had the square or the business section deco­ rated and brilliantly lighted up with colored lights, wreaths, stars and evergreens. Just why our business . men or some of the leading citizens haven’t started such a movement for Mocksvilie, we don’t know. Here’s hoping that next Christmas will find our public square decorated in keeping with the holiday spirit. We have one of the prettiest squares of anv town in this section, and the cost of decorating and lighting it up during the holidays would not cost very much. . . . ." - Announce New NYA District. Mrs. Lucy Barber, of Winston- Salem, in charge of the national youth administration for the counties of Forsyth. Davie and Yadkin, has been advised of the new set-up in the NYA for the state. Under this new set-np this territory is placed in the third district, with headquarters in Greensboro, and with Miss Frances Urisehdine as superyispr. tTfie new third district is to include id counties under the reorganixaticn plan, which divides North Csrr’iua’ into five districts.

IsRooseveIt Responsible John Barleycorn has not changed. He is the same enemy of law and order, peace and happiness, that he always was. If you doubt that statement, look what Old Barleycorn has been doing at Wilson, since liquor stores were legalized there more than a year ago. By his record in that fine city in Eastern North Carolina he has ior ever silenced all those who defended him on the ground that he would behaved himself and be a decent citizen Jf the people would only give him one more chance in North Caro lina. John Barclay, writing for the press of the State, gives the police record liquor has made in Wihon since the liquor stores were opened, and compares it with the record for the last-twelve months immediately preceding the establishment of the stores These figures show that public drunkennes, increased about 45 per cent Arrests for being drunk and disorderly increased eight per cent. Drunkendrivingincreased about 41 per cent. And arrests for bootleg­ ging increased approximately 4 0 per cent. But that is by no means the whole story. There is a story far more alarming than th at.' These figures are for only one year of so called‘‘liquor control” in Wilson. What about the second year? That story has not yet been completed. But the record reveals that for the first three months of the second, year there were 341 ar­ rests in which liquor was involved. If that rate is maintained there will be nearly 1 ,4 0 0 arrests due to the liquor traffic in Wilson during the second year of the life of these liquor stores. Onecltizsn of Wtnston Salem who read about this tragic record in a newspaper doubted the accuracy of the figures given by Mr. Barclay, and wrote to the police department of Wilson for verification. He has received ’ the official figures from that department and they confirm the published statement in every detail. ' In the light of this record, we wonder how the friends of the liquor store method of dealing with the liquor problem in North Carolina can have the face to tell our legis lature now, as they told it two years ago, that the legislation of hard liquors will reduce drunkenness and drunken driving and bootlegging in this Commonwealth —Winston Salem Journal. Dry Chief Demands Li­ quor Referendum. Raleighl- I n an open letter to the "sovereign voters of North Caro lina,” D r.'William L. Poteat1 presi­ dent of the State Dry Forces, calls for a State-wide referendum on the liquor question, as suggested .in the. minority feport of the special liquor study commission. ‘•We have twice announced our will on.-the liquor business in thunderous tones—once in 1908 and. again; in 1933,” wrote Dr. Poteat. "W e have not been consulted since’ ’ the'letter said.. “Possibly we have changed;our minds. What we. re­ sent is being ignored by our ser­ vants. ~. We;protest against the con­ templated invasion of the sacred principle of democracy, the blessing and Securityof a free people.’* Remember Other Days. It is at Christmas time that the finest thoughts and feelings of humankind often come to the sur face. Emotions that have lain more or less dormant throughout the year come to full flower on the birthday of the Xing. One of those pretty Yuletide stories that comes to light the day after, is that of the merchant in Dallas. Texas, who remembering a youth of hardship and poverty, brought cheer to the needy by dis tributing clothing. I. Rude—bis name it seems should be changed to I. M. Xind —gave away 2 6 ,0 0 0 ar tides of clothing on Christmas Day. The merchant explained that he was trying to "repay the people who were kind to me when I came to this country a poor boy and often was cold and hungry.” Itw as in 1892 that he came to America as an Austrian immigrant. It is obvious that he has made good use of the kindness that was extended him, from a material standpoint. The size of the gift shows that, but he also showed that he has not lost sight of the more important abstract values, while making good. These Incidents and instances of generosity come as a cheering note, but the chilling thought comes, that we are apt to forget to be kind and generous the other 3 6 4 days in the year. One Christmas basket may be a godsend at the time, buc it will not keep a family from starving all the year. So, we should not wait for another Christmas to do our "good turn.” —Twin-City Sentinel.

We find h>m wher ever civilization is found—in the city, the town and rural community and in denominationaiism Sincere churches and their ministers realize in him a matter for deep concern. If perchance he should come under the influence of this message, it is hoped he will be awakened to a just sense of the church of Christ, and his ob­ ligations to it. The ex-church member is a stumb- ling-hlock to the church and its min istry. A church should be a going- preaching-baptizmg - teaching - abid ing institution. The ex-church mem­ ber makes of it a going-preaching in­ stitution. The energy, time and money expanded in ferreting out these slackers in the army of the Lord would, if expended upon the unconverted, more thah double the yearly yield in the harvest of our Christ. The harvest is indeed white and the laborers are few, and the few we have are kept busy uncover­ ing the ex-churcb member. Why a church-member fails to align with the church of his locality is not a matter of church letters and recom­ mendations. It is a matter of nnity with Christ, and love for His church. The responsibility for the cx-churcb member lies with the church, the ministry and the individual. Some people are ex-church mem­ bers because they are not well grounded in the word of God’- Per­ haps they have been the unfortunate lambs in a flock that was fed on literary chaff and social gospellitis. Or perhaps they belong to that large group who keep, a Bible around as a sort of fetish, expecting to be guided and guarded by it. without having to read it. This sort of rabbit-foot religion is what makes ex-church members. One who is well grounded in the word of God is hard to be moved the church. He knows that the church in conditional upon union with Christ through faith, repentance, confes­ sion. baptism and abiding in Christ. One with a simple knowledge of God’s word knows that he can not withdraw from the church without withdrawing from Ghrist himself. He knows the church which Christ founded, as promised to Peter at Phillippi,- began at Pentecost by keeping stedfastly in the teachings of the apostles, in. t h e fellowship with other disciples, in the obser­ vance of the Lord's Supper and in prayer. One who knows the. Bible knows that Jesus expects His dis­ ciples to let their light shine before men. He knows the apostolic in­ junction not to forsake the assem­ bly of God’s people as the manner of some is. He knows to deny Jesus by forsaking His congregation is, in turn; to be denied by Him. If a Christian is well grounded in the word of God, he knows that no one can. live unto himself alone, and that, therefore, be is to choose to asso­ ciate with God’s people as much rs possible. He knows the divine com­ mand to bear one another’s burdens can best be carried out in the church. He knows the church is the only divinely instituted body commission­ ed by tilt Lord to witness for him in the world. He contemplates with joy that Jesus has redeemed his church wirh precious blood, and in­ tends to present it faultless and with­ out spot or blemish. He realizes with a pang that to remain aloof from the church is to endanger his own faul less presentation and to hinder the magnificent purpose of the Lord. A Bible Christian knows there is no salvation outside cf Christ and that to be inside of Christis to inside His church, and to keep His commandments and to keep His com mahdments and to abide in His will. He knows that Jesus wants His phurch to be a united-agency" for the conversion of a sin-smutted world. AU these things and many more does the Bible-informed church member know^ : But the ex church member has either never, known them, or has carelessly cast them aside. With an open Bible before him, let him know ■ ' . • 'i " that the werd of God is profitable for his reproof and correction. Let him tudy to show himself approved of God. Let him know that he can not live on bread alone, but that bis spiritual nature is starving for the word of life. And God help him to know that there is a way that seem- eth right unto man. but the end thereof is the way of death. And hear it, oh, you self satisfied ex­ church member, it is the word of Christ which will judge you In the I :st day, and not the soft words of some preacher, or the creeds of some ecclesiastical council, nor your, own ouny opinion Bow down to the authority of God’s word, all ye ex­ members, and see the beauty of His church, and your obligation to it. The ex-church member is an ex­ ample of the seed being choacked out by the riches and cares of this world. Civilization is full of people who bade God gGod-bye when they moved to a strange community. Ma­ terial prosperity, sensual pleasure, driving business, have crowded Christ and His church out of their cover to the church. But left alone they pursue their way, apparently oblivious of the fact of the church even. Ex churcb members are indiffer­ ent to Christ’s sufferings for them and an unhappy world. They are lukewarm regarding His commands. They have no concern for a lost, su- perstitutious, groping world. The church to them is just another so­ ciety for their own glorification and gratification, to be joined or not like any other lodge, as their fancy may direct them. If the chucli is a going concern, they may condescend to join it for social and business reasons. If it is weak in numbers and social in­ fluence, they keep their former con­ nections and join the organization that better further their selfish ends. They forget that Jesus explained the kingdom of God comes not by observation, but that it is in people. The church is not extraneous from a Christian—it is a part of him, and he is a part of it. If the church presents a strong or weak front, as a whole, it is because each member has, or has not lived up to the' com­ mands of the Lord. The Bible no where commands people to join the church. But it everywhere invites people to unite with Christ, who adds them to His group of witnesses when they accept His invitation and obey His commands. A group of Christ- united, Christ - witnessing people make a church, and no one can real­ ly join that church by merely join­ ing himself to that group with out first having united with Christ. Ex-church members have lest their warm personal touch with the Mast­ er, Like Feter, they have' followed afar off until they have actually de­ nied Him. They have become luke. warm to Him and His church. Christ warns against lukewarm- >ss. He commands men to let their light shine before men. He warns against not counting the cost of dir- cipleship. His statements are strong about confessing Him before men aud looking back after starting the Christian journey. ‘ Not everyone,” He said, "that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.” And again through John on Patmos to the church at Laodicea: "So be­ cause thou art lukewarm, and neith­ er hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” Oh, you ex-church members, get yourselves warmed up to Christ, and you will cease your excuse-making and faultfinding, and will come out in the open and confess' your allegi­ ance to Him, and the Light of the world will shine through you. "Count the cost,” said Jesus. "W e died with Christ,” said Paul. A Christian is one who, by faith in Christ, has been crucified to his. sin­ ful life, burried with Cbrist in- bap­ tising resurrected to begin a new life, buried with Christ - in baptism, -re­ surrected to begin’a new life' with Christ as Lord. An ex-churcb mem­ ber is one who is not willing to: con--, tinue this death to his past- sinful life. As a church-member he be feels,relieved of this restriction. The Lord’s Day is to him a good time for golfing or motoring or lounging or even busienss. Lodge night super­ sedes prayer meeting night. He is too busy to give time to Bible read­ ing. His prayer has devolved into the time-saving device of the man who bung the Lord’s Prayer on his bedpost, and each night and morn­ ing pointed to it and said: "Lord, them’s my sentiments.” As a church- member in Christ, he believes be should render unto God a portion of It s wealth. As an ex-church mem­ ber, he feels more free to do as pleases with it. Cne of the quickest ways into the ex-member is to fail to include the pocketbook in, the bap­ tismal obedience. Where a person’s treasure is there will his heart be also, and if a sinner’s pocketbook is not included in his crucifixion with Christ, he will eventually be among the ex-members. Some sincere, but misguirded. people remain outside the church because they fear the final obligations will be more; than can really afford. Such people are laboring under the impression that money is a temporal matter oiily, and that giving is a matter to be re­ gulated by the standard set by the local congregation, whereas money and giving are spiritual matters, and an obligation before God, which. no person can escape, whether inside or outside the folds of the churcb. God needs every talent, and He knows the ability of all. It is a sin to stay outside the witnessing agency of Christ with all our-talents, just be­ cause our talent of money seem 9mall, and below what may be ex­ pected of us. God is seeking us. and not oura. The silver Bnd gold of the world are His, but He cares nothing for it, unless, in bringing it to Him, we also bring ourselves. The church at Thessalonica was praised by Paul becaase it not cnly gave money and support, but because the members first gave their own selves to' the Lord. The financial fears and draw­ backs to church membership will all fade away when we are willing to sacrifice worldly desire for trust and love in Christ.—The Aberdeen Exa- Republicao Wins.

W a s Ni Washington—On the eve of the opening of a new congress, the sev- enty-fifth, there isHullQoolom great hullabalooand Clamor and clamor about social and eco­ nomic legislation and particularly about the alleged necessity for con­ stitutional amendments giving con­ gress more power to deal with these problems. Much of the noise eman­ ates from minorities, highly organ­ ized pressure groups, and it is diffi­ cult, therefore, to tell exactly what the attitude of the country, as a whole, may be. There are those both in congress ,aijd out who contend that the .over­ whelming vote for President Roose­ velt's re-election constituted a man­ date for immediate action on a num­ ber of these highly delicate anddif- ficult questions. There are others whose contention is that the great vote given President Roosevelt was, in fact, a tribute to his personal popularity and that it was in no way connected with the various problems that are now before the country in individual capacity. What­ ever the answer to these contending forces, the fact remains that we are due to hear something of them on the floors of the house and senate in the next few months. One of the things about which we are hearing many, many words at the moment is a proposal for an amendment to the Constitution pro­ hibiting child labor. It is the argu­ ment that such an amendment should be annexed to the Constitu­ tion and that it should give congress additional authority to enact legisla­ tion setting forth the details of this new type of prohibition. Yet, while all'of this raving and raging is going on, how many.people are there' who are aware of the fact that a constitutional amend­ ment doing this very thing has been pending before the states for a little more titan twelve years? How many people are there who recall that this amendment has been ratified by twenty-four states? Whatever their recollection is, it is a fact and it remains a fact that to all intents and purposes, enough states have refused to ratify the amendment to kill it off. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, be­ ing alive to what he considers the meaning of the recent huge vote for . President Roosevelt, has attempted 'to revive the fight for ratification of that child labor amendment above mentioned. He has written to the heads of the various state and local labor groups urging them to work for favorable action on the amend­ment in the states that have hereto­ fore rejected it. • • • This brings up a new legal ques­ tion. Stated succinctly, the question , t is whether a stateN ew Leg<d legislature that Q uestion has once rejected a proposition to amend the Constitution can reverse itself and approve the resolution after, having once killed it. Mr. Green contends that this is possible. The American Bar association takes a contrary view. So, we are confronted with a prob­ lem within a problem and.one that is likely to be distorted and twisted and misrepresented by those' in­ terests that have sought for a long time to make the Constitution ap­ pear outmoded. To become attached. to the Constitution, an amendment must be.ratified under the terms of the Constitution itself, by three- fourths of the states. That is thirty- six. Since twelve more states must ratify, there is likely to be a hard drive to gain some of the remaining states and to bring about reversal of positions already taken. It nearly always happens in “drives” that there is much "loose mouthings and many unwarranted and unjustified statements. It probably will be so in this instance and the country must be or, guard to sift the truth from the propaganda and must be prepared to make up its mind whether it desires to place in the Constitution a hard and fast rule that no child under eighteen years t t age may be allowed to work gain­ fully. For the sake of the record, here­ with is the language of the proposed amendment that is now pending: “The congress shall have power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons .under eighteen years of age. The power of the sev­ eral states is unimpaired by this article except that the operation of state laws shai! be suspended to,the extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the con­ gress.”From these words, it will be seen that an attempt is made to give congress greater power over the rights of states to legislate for them­ selves. Such a purport brings up in my mind the old question of wheth­ er a state or the federal government 'ahull be .supreme. There certainly are times, there are circumstances and there are conditions in which the federal government alone can deal with problems better than states can deal with them individual­ ly. But after all, conditions are not the same in any two states of the Union and it seems to me that the states ought to give careful thought to any proposition that takes away from them forever whatever rights are left to them under the Constitu­ tion. They ought to be free as far as they may be to handle their own problems on the basis of local re­ quirements. And this is written, let me emphasize, not in opposition to any proposal that would abolish child labor. I• • . • •I'The country cannot know definite­ ly. until President Roosevelt deliv- c . , ers his message toSocuu the new congress,Welfare dealing with th e state of the Union, exactly what his position is going to be on the so-called social welfare problems of the country. This is a general category and involves such things as the so-called social secur­ ity legislation and legislation giving the federal government greater con­ trol over private business. The two phases go hand in hand and as Isa as I have been able to discover, it will be impossible to deal with one without in some manner dealing with the other. _; For example, the present social security statutes have a direct effect upon business through their taxation provisions. Whilebasicallytheyare designed to protect against the suf­ ferings of unemployment and the destitution of the aged who are with­ out resources, it can be readily seen, that somebody must pay the bill. The Roosevelt administration’s the­ory is that private employers, mean­ ing business as a whole, shall be the logical source from which to draw the financial protection that is con­ ceived to be necessary. ! But in this theory there is involved very definitely the right of the fed­ eral government to enter into the fields that are now occupied or may be occupied by the states. It is largely a taxing proposition that the federal government must use if it is going to reach those classes able to pay. But the Constitution, federal laws and traditional practices of our people have built up certain lines of demarcation between fed­ eral and state rights. The question therefore becomes simply one that requires determination, by the peo­ ple whether they are going to allow the federal government to encroach further upon the fields that hitherto have been reserved for the states. | We hear much talk about a revival of NRA; a revival of it on a basis that will make it constitutional and one with provisions that will reach a greater percentage of business than was reached by the original NRA. Organized labor seems to be in favor of this proposition and na­ turally will exert considerable pow­ er in congress, but some lawyeis among the representatives and sen­ ators tell me that they do not see how the purpose can be ajc- complished without a constitutional amendment. - On the basis of all of the informa­ tion and opinion that I have been able to gather, my guess would be that before this session of congress is over something tangible in the way of a new consitutional amend­ ment will be offered. It would seem, on toe basis of toe present trends, that it will be possible for toe dif­ ferent schools of thought on this sub­ject to get together only upon a con­ stitutional resolution. My guess is, further, that it is utterly impossible for all of the groups and blocs to reach an understanding on legisla­ tion along these lines. Few of toon are willing to compromise and with­ out toe attitude of compromise on highly controversial legislation, nothing except stalemates results. Some observers even now hold toe belief that it will be impossible for any agreement to be reached with­ in congress on any of these social welfare propositions simply because toe range of -views as to what " good for toe country is so wide.• • • There are certain bits of evidence now to be seen that indicate a more . . . . determinedp o s tWhat A b o u t tion on toe part of Business? business itself, i I think it could be said without equivocation that the business interests have been the target for political demagoguery in the last few years to a greater ex­tent than ever in history. Of course, business has not come forth with clean hands. Yet, it is made I to appear noW that business has taken about all of toe maltreatment I to which it is entitled and it would seem, therefore,' that the- time has arrived for it to be given- some, con­ sideration by the government which has supervision over it as. well las us as individuals. - ; 1O WeEtern Ncwapaoer Unkm. Arthur Brisbane, Editor, Dies at 72 Work Known to Millions; Column Popular in This Newspaper. New York, N. Y.—With the death of Arthur Brisbane Christ­ m as morning, the world lost its m ost widely known and m ost widely read newspaper w riter and editor. H ie veteran com­ m entator, whose column “This Week” appeared regularly in this newspaper, died of heart disease while he slept. He was seventy-two. True to toe Brisbane tradition, he kept up toe terrific pace of his work to toe last. When he was stricken late in the afternoon of Christmas eve he had almost finished his col­ umn, “Today,” which appeared in many large daily newspapers, prin­ cipally those of William Randolph Hearst’s string. He was forced to call upon his son, Seward, 22, to complete it. It was toe first time in his life Arthur Brisbane had not finished what he had set out to write. MiIUons of Readers. It was only a few hours afterward Mr. Brisbane fell asleep in his Fifth avenue apartment. At his bedside were his physicians, Dr. Leopold StiegUtz and Dr. Frederick Zeman, and a nurse. Li toe apartment his entire family had gathered—his wife, Mrs. Phoebe Brisbane, whom he had married in 1912; his son, Seward, and his four daughters, Mrs. News Review of Current Events the World Over C r o c h e t T o t S n u g a n d W a r m T h r e e - P ie c e S e t ARTHUR BRISBANE J. R. K. McCrary, 23; Emily, 18; AUce, 14, and Elinor, 12. The great editor never awakened. Probably no one knows how many miUions of persons read Mr. Bris­ bane’s verse, analytical comments upon toe news of toe day. It is esti­mated that 25 miUions read his daily column. Additional miUions followed with satisfaction the weekly column syndicated by Western Newspaper Union to this and many other lead­ing weekly newspapers. Mr. Brisbane was wealthy. It is reported that his yearly salary at toe time of his death was $260,000. In addition, there was toe return on his extensive real estate holdings. Arthur Brisbane was born in Buf­ falo, N. Y., in 1864. He attended the public schools and then, forsaking a college education, he became a re­ porter on the old New York Sim at 19. ,Yet his rise to the position he held', in toe world of journalism at toe last was not the Horatio Alger type: of success story, with glory crowning toe hero after countless tear-jerking tribulations. He was good and he was successful from the start. It was not long before he was the Sun’s London correspondent. After fiye years, there was a shake-up on toe paper and toe management cabled him to return. He said he would if they made him managing editor. Managing editor! He was just 23. They made him managing editor. And so well did he execute his job, Joseph PuUtzer took him over to toe New York World, which, under toe Brisbane directorship, soon became toe most influential organ of public opinion in America. “Greatest JournaUst of Day.” When WiUiam Randolph Hearst came from California and bought toe New York Journal he hired Mr. Brisbane—at a reduction in salary of almost 50 per cent.' But there was an agreement that as toe circulation increased, so would his compensa­ tion. His earnings on the World were multiplied in almost no time. The association with Hearst be­came a life-long friendship, and Mr. Brisbane soon became regarded as next to Mr. Hearst in importance in toe chain of newspapers. When he died, Mr. Hearstsaid: “I know that Aiiliur Brisbane was toe .greatest- journalist of his day.” It was Arthur Brisbane who was credited with bringing toe trend of newspaper style “down to earth.” He beUeved that newspapers should be written for toe ordinary man, not toe intelligentsia. He wrote that way —and his columns appealed to col­ lege professors as well as to mer- chants and farmers. He dictated his'1,000 to 1,200 crisp, unwasted words daily in half an hour . to an hour. There was a dictaphone beside him wherever, he went. He would, even wake up in. Pullman berths and begin dictation at two or three in the morning. : :-t ‘ Ctibaii Congress Onsts President Gomez-Another A xcIh bishop Attacks Edward, Duke of Windsor— Treasury Plan to Curb Credit Inflation. By EDW ARD1W. PICKARD a Western Newspaper Union. Mr# I VfIGUEL MARIANO GOMEZ, president of Cuba, was on his way out because he defied Col. Ful- gencio Batista, toe real ruler of toe repubUc, by vetoing toe sugar tax biU to raise funds for the building of schools that would -be con­ducted by army of­ ficers. Despite plen­ ty of warnings, Go­ mez persisted in his opposition to toe measure which, he said, would lead to MiguelGomez S o i represente! tives, dominated by Batista, im­ peached him and he went to trial before toe senate with toe certain­ ty that toe decision would be against him .. He was accused of attempting to coerce toe congress unconstitutionally to defeat toe tax bill, and of mal-administration. It was toe first bill of impeachment ever voted in the history of toe Cuban republic. Gomez defended himself vigor­ ously but was resigned to his tote. The prosecution was conducted by three members of the house—Car­ los Palma, veteran Republican lead­ er; Eduardo Martinez Fraga, Na­ tionalist, and Felipe Jay, Demo­ crat. Vice President Federico Laredo Bru was ready to succeed Gomez automatically. He is a lawyer, sixty- one years old and was a colonel in the Cuban war of independence. A RCHBISHOFS of the Church of England just can’t let the duke of Windsor and his love affair alone. The Most Rev. Dr. William Temple, archibshop of York and second only to toe archbishop of Canterbury, took his turn in lambasting the ab­ dicated king, in a Christmas dioces­ an letter that displayed little of the Christian spirit. Said toe archbish­ op: “It has happened to many a man before now to find himself beginning to-fall in love with another man’s wife. That is a moment of critical decision and toe right decision is that they should cease to meet be­ fore toe passion is so developed as to create an agonizing conflict be­ tween love and duty. “This decision often has been tak­ en by men of honor. And when toe power of personal attraction is re­ inforced by the glamor of the throne the moral obligation is toe more urgent for that reason. “Let us remember that any kind of love which can be in conflict with duty is not the love of which the gospel speaks.” The British press and a great many of the English people are dis­ gusted with these repeated attacks' on Edward by toe prelates and. there is a growing danger of a split in toe Church of England. Dispatches from Edward’s haven fn Enzesfeld, Austria, say that he is planning to make Mrs. Simpson the duchess of Windsor in May next, immediately after her divorce be­ comes absolute. Meanwhile he prob­ ably. will remain at the castle of Baron Eugene de Rothschild with­ out seeing Mrs. Simpson. There were reports that the duke might take legal action against the archbishop of York, presumably-for slander. CIMEON D. FESS, former sena­ te tor from Ohio and for years a leader in toe “Old Guard” of toe Republican party, died suddenly in the Carlton hotel, Washington. He had been in retirement from na­ tional politics since 1932 when he was defeated for re-election to toe senate. A CCORDING to a decision of toe United States court of appeals in New Orleans, toe national labor relations board has authority to compel.employers to bargain collec­ tively with their employees. The tribunal upheld toe board’s cease and desist orders against Agwil- ines, Inc., which operates the Clyde Mallory Steamship lines, in con­ nection with toe dismissal of seven employees for alleged union action. THE Supreme Court haying up­ held, in toe Chaco arms em­ bargo case, the neutrality powers of toe President, Mr. Roosevelt let it be known that he would ask con­ gress to revise toe present neutral­ ity law to give him broader dis­ cretion in his relations with foreign governments. In other words, the “teeth” which he and the State de­ partment have always thought toe statute lacked. Just what toe Pres­ ident. wotdd ask was not told to toe press, but there were indications that he wants authority to: 1. Declare an arms embargo .‘.‘up­ on the outbreak or during progress of’ a war, and forbid the passage of American citizens or transport of American goods on belligerent ships, except at toe traveler’s or shipper’s own risk. 2. Determine the actual volume to M. S. Eccles which commodity shipments would be limited and enumerate the items becoming contraband beyond those limits. Government officials looked upon toe Supreme Court’s decision as the most sweeping approval of a New Deal law toe tribunal has yet given. They read in it an inferen­ tial approval of toe reciprocal trade treaty program, still untested, and a broader inference that the Presi­dent should be given more latitude in negotiations of all kinds with for­ eign governments. 'TkELEGfiiFES to the inter-Amer- ^ ican peace conference in Bue­ nos Aires signed toe 69 accords ap­ proved during the sessions and the conference came to an e.nd. Fare­ well congratulatory speeches were made by Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Argentine Foreign Minister Carlos Saavedra Lamas and the head of the Peruvian delegation; Carlos Concha. They all urged that toe peace efforts be continued in toe next Pan-American conference,' which will be held in Lima, Peru,' in 1938. CECRETARY OF THE' TREAS- ° URY MORGENTHAU a n d Chairman Marriner Eccles of the federal, reserve board announced a new program for curbing credit in­ flation, and it is likely to involve $1,- 000,000,009 of bor­ rowings in 1937.About a billion dol­ lars worth of gold is flowing into toe country annually, HilHliiSI^M! and if this continues next year, it was said by officials, the treasury will take that amount out of toe money mar­ ket, to offset the effects of toe gold influx on domestic credit. * The plan, which probably was de­ vised by Mr. Eccles, is intended-to hold the excess reserves, which are the reserves that member banks de­ posit with toe federal reserve sys­ tem in excess of legal requirements, on the same plateau where they are now. Previously gold flowing into' toe country was chalked up as ex­cess reserves upon which an infla­ tionary credit boom could be built ''FHREE new indictments against major oil companies, oil trade publications and individuals were re­ turned by a federal grand jury in Madison, Wis., in order to avoid de­ lay in toe trial of toe anti-trust cases. With few changes toe new true bills are similar to those returned previ­ ously by the 1935 grand jury and con­ tested as invalid on grounds that toe' grand jury was illegally impaneled..It is understood that toe govern­ ment plans to bring toe cases to trial in March. TTNDER the general leadership of ^ John L. Lewis toe war for unionizing toe steel industry and destroying toe company unions is now under way. Some 250 company union represents-' tives from toe Pitts­ burgh, toe Cleve-, land - Youngstown and toe eastern dis­ tricts met in Pitts­ burgh and were told by Philip Murray, chief aide of Lewis and chairman of toe committee for in­dustrial union, that a strike' in toe $5,000,000,000 indus­ try might result “if the industry continues to employ its dog-in-the- manger attitude,” in dealing with trade unions. Thereupon the delegates adopted resolutions unanimously condemns ing the company union plan as a “farce,” and establishing a new or­ ganization called the “CIO repre? sentatives council,” with this “dec­laration of principles:” 1. -All steel workers be organized' into a national industrial union. 2. Employee representatives use: their influence to enroll toe steel workers into the steel workers or­ganizing committee’s campaign. 3.

For 63 years he' labored among the Indians and during that time he traveled many thousands of danger - Slled miles through the wilderness on foot and by canoe. He built no less than 13 Indian towns as centers of Chris­ tianity in a heathen land and he! lived to see all but one of them wiped out of existence. He had failed but truly bis was a "mag­ nificent failure." Zeisberger was born in Moravia in 1721 and in 1740 came to Geor­gia where his church was organiz­ ing a mission among the Creeks. Next he was sent to Pennsylvania where he aided Count Zinzendorf in building the Moravian towns of Naz­ areth and Bethlehem. Beginning his work among the Delawares at Shamokin, Pa., he was adopted by the Munsey tribe of that nation. Then he went to Ifcw York where the Six Nitions made him a sachem and keeper of their records, an unusual honor for a white man. When the French and Indian war began he was compelled to return to Bethlehem because both French and English were suspicious that his charges were partisans. After Pontiac’s conspiracy had been crushed in 1763 the Moravian led his flock to Wyalusing, Pa., and established two more missions on the Allegheny and the Beaver. Then the call for service beyond the Ohio came to him and in 1772 he founded: Schoenbrunn (“Beautiful Spring”),; the first white settlement in the fu-: ture Buckeye state. Next the town of Gnadenhutten was established and an era of peace began. But trouble was brewing for him. Although Zeisberger restrained the Delawares from taking part in the Revolutionary conflict, he soon: found that he was under suspicion: by both the British and the Ameri­ cans. The British stirred up the Wyandots to break up the mission at Schoenbrunn and its teachers were tried as American spies. Fi­ nally in 1782 came the crowning blow, when a party of brutal Amer­ icans committed the hideous mas­ sacre of 96 Christian Indians at Gnadenhutten. The broken-hearted Zeisberger started 'with the rem­ nants of his flock or> a journey which took them first to Michigan, then back to Ohio and finally to Canada where he founded Fairfield on the Thames river. In 1798 the Moravian Indians and their leader came back to the Tus­ carawas river in Ohio where Zeis­ berger founded his last town—Gosh­ en. There his “long life of amazing fortitude, faith and patience” came to an end in 1808. Real Estate Promoter 'T ' HOUGH you may regard real estate promoters as products of modem times, the fact is one of the greatest "put over his deal” early in the history of the republic. His name was Joel Barlow and he was a lawyer, a diplomat and a poet, which may account for the fact that once “his siren voice persuaded a group of French emigrants to seek a Garden of Eden in Ohio.” Back in 1787 two groups of land speculators,, known as the Ohio As­ sociates and the Scioto Associates, secured the right from congress to purchase land in the Northwest ter-. ritoiy with the almost-worthless Continental currency with which it had paid off soldiers of the Revolu­ tion. Then the Scioto Associates sent Barlow to France to dispose of these lands. They had nothing but; an option on the lands but that didn’t stop Barlow. He sold a tract of 3,OOC1OOO acres, to a French Scioto company which' in turn retailed farms to peasants and artisans who were willing to emigrate to America. In the spring of 1790 some 600 of them arrived in Alexandria, Va. William Duer, head of the Scioto Associates, was filled with dismay.for there were neither asents to meet them nor lands ready for them. Foreseeing the trouble that was ahead when hundreds more land- hungry Frenchmen arrived, Duer hastily arranged to take over lands of the Ohio Associates, who owed him money. For this debt he got nearly 200,000 acres on the Ohio riv-' er opposite the mouth of the Great Kanawha. There he brought the Frenchmen and in October, 1790, the town of Gallipolis was founded. Rufus Put­ nam was engaged to build their huts for them but Duer soon found that it would be impossible to ful­fill all the glowing promises which Barlow had made—to provide good homes and profitable occupation for the skilled artisans among them. By 1792 Duer had gone bankrupt, land titles were still in a bad tangle and the settlement of Gallipolis be­ gan to' dwindle. For years there-; after congress had to listen to many a tale of woe from the victims' before their claim* were settled. 'Twas This Way • e By LYLE SPENCER O Western Newspaper Union. New W ays of Gambling U ORSE racing may not much longer be the favorite Ameri­ can way of gambling. It takes a lot of time and money to follow the ponies regularly. So a group of Cal­ ifornia professors have invented a new racing sport where anyone can own a whole stable of racers with­ out it costing a cent. They have conceived the idea of racing snails! On latest reports a history pro­fessor had just won the “Kentucky Derby” with his champion thorough­ bred “Slimy.” ' Pedagogues w ho never before showed the slightest interest in gardening may now be seen out in Aeir back yard on sunny afternoons, peering diligently under cabbage leaves. Who knows, any one of them might turn up another “Man O’ War!” Seven or eight members of the group regularly maintain racing stables, and several have seriously undertaken the business of breeding snails. One is said to be developing a giant slug who can outsquirm by two to one any ordinary snail. The races, usually run on the back of tilted ironing boards, vary in length from six inches, for juve­ niles, to two feet, for experienced veterans. Half-inch handicaps are sometimes given noted sluggards. Every formality and regulation of orthodox turf procedure is carried out in these races. - The snails are even tested for possible doping, because a drop of alcohol noticeably increases a snail’s speed and vitality, and a thin film of salad dressing in his lane has Lelped many a snail to gallop home to a smashing victory! Origin of Oyster Cocktails 'T 'H E oyster cocktail is usjally as- sociated with expensive dining rooms and exclusive social gather­ ings. Like many members of the social register, it has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Records show that the oyster cocktail was invented in a shabby waterfront saloon in San Francisco about 1866. Its concocter was a drunken gold miner who had reeled into town to spend his month’s wages. He appeared at the bar and or­ dered a stiff whiskey cocktail and a plate of California raw oysters. After gulping the cocktail, this tip­ sy guest placed the oysters in the same glass. The bar flies shuddered as they watched him fill it to the brim with tomato catsup Worces­ tershire and pepper sauce. To their further amazement, he ate the mess with evident relish. When finished, instead of getting sick, he called for another plate of oysters. The bartender was impressed. He seized the idea, put on an adver­ tising splurge, and was soon doing a land-office business selling the new product for - "four bits” a glass. Other people experimented, an d found that it worked equally well with shrimps. When society took it up the success of the oyster cock-’ tail was assured. Lady Nicotine (CHRISTOPHER COLTJMBUS dis- covered tobacco when he dis­ covered America in 1492. He car­ ried back to Europe fantastic tales of how the barbaric natives “per­ fumed themselves by swallowing the smoke of sweet-smejling herbs.” Other early' explorers reported that Indians smoked tobacco by in­ haling it, not through the mouth as we do now, but through the nose. Their, pipes were shaped in the form of a Y, the two points of which could be inserted in the nostrils. When first brought to Europe, the tobacco plant was supposed to have miraculous healing powers, and physicians forced people to smoke it for their health. Later, as the practice grew more common, clergy and kings professed to see traces of immorality in it, and passed the most .stringent laws to stamp it out. It even became a crime punishable by death to smoke tobacco in sev­ eral European countries. It was not until smoking became fashionable that it really gained popular following. Sir Francis Drake brought back a complete smoking set from America in 1586 an d presented it to Sir Walter Raleigh. Just before he went to the scaffold for political treason, Raleigh smoked a pipe full of Vir­ ginia blend.This immediately impressed the courtiers as a gallant gesture, and smoking was soon rife in the Eliza­ bethan court. Even Queen Eliza­ beth is said to have enjoyed a sur­reptitious puff or two in the privacy of her boudoir.

C., as Second-class Hail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * I OO SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - S SO Politics makes strange bedfellows. This tact is demonstrated on our streets from time to time. With Congress and the North Carolina legislature both in session what chance has an honest man these days The Record said a year ago that Clyde Hoey would be the next governor of North Carolina. Well, The Record was right. Spnator Brock and Representa tive Brewster Grant are busv in Raleigh these days helping to make laws that cannot or will not be en­ forced. It is nearlv two years until the next election but some of the more politically minded are already figur­ ing on who are going to run for the various county and state offices next year. We were told four years ago that a vote for Roosevelt was a vote to legalize the sale ot intoxicating li­ quors. Thousands of voters didn’t believe this at the time but to their sorrow, they have found out that there was more truth than poetry in the statement. The Record depends on both Dem­ ocrats and Republicans for support The people who want the news are invited to take The Record regard less of their political affiliations or churcn creed. The fellow who is afraid to read the truth doesn’t need The Record. Several of that kind do not take it. Competition is the life of busi­ ness it has been said of old, but so far as we know our grocervmen are not trying to get any A. &P. stores to locate here, and none of our de* partment stores are clamoring for a Silver, Belk or Efird store to lo­ cate here. Neither are the lawyers and doctors trying to induce doc­ tors and lawyers from other towns to locate in our midst. The Re­ cord is always glad to welcome new enterprises and new citizens to onr town and county. For 3 0 years the present editor has done every­ thing possible to help build up the town and county. We will con­ tinue this policy as long as we pub Iish a newspaper. Just what stand the North Caro­ lina legislature will take on the li­ quor question is not known at this this time. In spite of the fact that the voters of this state went to the polls in 1933, and voted for prohi­ bition by nearlv a hundred thous and majority, there are 17 counties in the state that are selling liquor over and above board. Regardless of what the legislature does this year in regard to legalizing the sale of intoxicating liquors, it is said that the.Davie county commis­ sioners will not grant license to any­ one to sell liquor unless forced to do so by law. The legalized sale of wine and beer has done much to increase the number of drunks in the state, and if liquor is turned loose in Davie things will go from bad to worse. Clyde is now governor. Just what kind of a chief executive be will make, remains to be seen. During the primary ,campaign, when Clyde was fighting for his life to defeat Dr. McDonald, he promised the people to ask the legislature for the money to furnish the children oi the state free school books. He also promised to re­ move the sales tax from the neces­ sities of life, and also promised to reduce the price of !automobile tags:, and^ei'ilso ptofflised. not to ,ggt- anv tax on land:- ' if Clyde can malro good all these promises he will be a greater magician than' Houdini. We will hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Pro [ mises and platforms are made to ride into office on an not to stand on after the election is over. A NEW SCHEDULE. We wish to say that in the fu­ ture those desiring “puffs” in The Record, will have to pay for them. The following prices will be charged cash in advance: For telling the public that a man is a successful citizen when everybody knows he is as lazy as a government mnle, $1.9 8 , referring to a deceased citi­ zen as one who is mourned by the entire communit y when we know he is only missed by a poker circle. $5 .13; referring to some gallavant- ing female as an estimable lady whom it is a pleasure to meet, when every business man in town would rather see the devil coming, $ 4 4 8; calling an ordinary .- pounder an eminent divine, 67 cents; sending a wicked sinner to heaven, $3 0 0. Cash must accompany all orders 10 secure insertion. A Petition To Congress. To the Congress of the United States: Greeting:—Inasmuch as the snow of winter will again drift about us and the cold north wind n >w sings its roudelay through the apettures of our last summer duds, the wood shed presents a yawning vacuum and our pork barrel a hoi Ijw mockery, we teel called upon to make a few suggestions in tie i iterests of our people. Of course, we understand that there are some things that have to b; put off from time to ttme, but we would request that the Congress now in session either vacate their offices or look after the following needs: To put grass widows and old maids on the free list. To encourage government owner­ ship of cyclones and tornadoes To establish diplomatic relations with Vermont and Maine. To restrain the packing houses from using long-haired dogs in mak­ ing sausage. To discontinue the 'garden seed’ department and send us in lieu thereof a bowl of soup. To mail out no mote installments of speeches that were not delivered sending us in the place thereof some old clothes. Cut down the Congressional re presentation one half and give us in lieu thereof one fool killer for each member we lose and one for each State at large. Notto allow hereafter any newly elected President to lower the price ot labor unless he also lowers the price of eggs and crooked cord wood. Not to allow any man or woman to apply for divorce but once in the same calendar vear. * Togive the people of Davie coun­ ty the right to change' the schedule on the Southern road so as to give us an early morning train to Char­ lotte. To furnish us bait that will induce fish to bite in a reasonable length of time. A law to prevent girls from pop ping the question and crawfish from crawling backward. To annex Tim Farley and Rex Tugwell to the shores of Africa. Onr Congressman will be expect ed to look after the details of the above petition.

Spearmaa WNU Service CHAPTER XIV—Continued —21—By a chance that rarely favors des­perate measures, Denison sprawled 'from the final leap across the bridge gap into a fringe of sand and wil­ lows that overgrew the eastern bridge !approach. Threading the undergrowth on Hs !trembling horse, Denison got away .'from the bridge as fast as he could; !somebody was still throwing rifle jslugs toward it; but once away from the danger point, be lost no time In ; making himself beard. Out on the old jtrail the steers, alarmed by the shoot­ ing, and worried secretly by the two !Indians, were milling, and UcCrossen, shouting and cursing, was trying to 'bring order out of the confusion. Denison, from the willows, called loudly, “Who’s driving these cattle?” “The man that owns ’em,” shouted MeCrossen1 riding out into tbe open, fifty yards away. “Who the hell are .you, hidin’ In that brush? If you’re a man, show yourself." Denison pushed into the open. “Tou’re driving this bunch. McCros- sen?” “I am. What do you want, Deni­son?” he demanded angrily. ■ “I want these steers, McCrossen. !And I want you.” “These steers belong to me for ,wages, an’ I’ve got twice as many back !there yet Now I’ve got just one !word for you, Denison: Get out of my I way an’ keep out of my way.” “If you’ve got any rights In these ’cattle, turn ’em back to the Meadows land lay your claim for wages before I the. Stock men’s Claims Board,” retort­ ed Denison. “What the hell's all this to you? Do .you claim ’em?" demanded McCrossen !savagely. “I don’t claim a hoof, but I want to :talk with you, McCrossen, before you Ijump to the Panhandle.” I “What about?” “About who Sred my ranch bouse and about Henry Sawdy.” “Tryln’ to pick a quarrel with me, I eh, Denison? Well, you needn’t, try ■very hard. I don't like you, Denison. I i never did. I never had any use for !yon. Now will you pull off these bums !that are millin’ my steers?" I “Will you head ’em back for tbe !Meadows and talk to me?” I “No!” I “No!” > The two refusals were fast But I while the second was being uttered, IKebstock cried, “Crowd him, Dave I” land fired at Denison.The next instant three horsemen iwere plunging at one another on rear­ ing horses and throwing their shots at 'one another In a very uncertain light. . Betreat was out of the thinking. ; Denison, caught between the two jmen, was forced to divide his fire. [With a blow stinging his left arm, he i Jumped his horse past the two, whirled, and came back outside, with McCros- sen shooting at him fast. The maneu­ ver of Denison’s put McCros ^n into 'Bebstock’s line of fire. But hardly had Denison whirled Iwhen be felt a sickening blow In tbe !stomach from McCrossen’s gun, hard­ ly ten yards away. Be had been I crouching on his horse's back and was already stirrup-loose. He slid off and rolled like a cat toward the brush. ;Bebstock saw the trick but, forgetting 'that a wounded man is the most dan­ gerous man, he yelled and spurred straight at him.The horse refused the smell of blood. He shied. Bebstock spurred ‘him. As the horse reared, the feeble .light of the moon struck, for an Instant, IBebstock's features. In that Instant Denison fired point-blank at him. The blow was terrible. Rebstoek's arms jerked high, and his guii- flew 'into the air. He sprang conyulslvely upward, toppled and, as his frightened .horse whirled, lurched from the sad­ dle to the ground. He never spoke again.Fully expecting that McCrossen would ride In to finish him, Denison flipped .open the loading gate of his gun instinctively, and mmched out the empty shells. His head In a whirl, expecting that ■any Instant McCrossen would be on Mm, Denison tried to reload. Just as he got the cartridge into his revolver, he caught tbe sound of a horse’s hoofs and then heard Bob Scott calling. “Here, Bob,” exclaimed Denison from the brush. “Look out for Mc­ Crossen.”Scott slipped off his horse. “Me- Crossen won’t bother for a while. Are you hit, Bill?”“I stopped a couple of slugs some­ how. What about McCrossen?” he .asked Irritably. : “He’s lyin’ over by the bridge. He wants to talk to you, BIll.*“Twist a tourniquet around this arm before I try it, Bob. Don’t trust Mc­ Crossen. Have you got his guns? He'd like nothing better than another crack at me,” mntterecT Denison, staggering, with Scott's help, to his feet “McCrossen’s stripped dean,” de­ clared Scott. “He's dyin*. That’s tbe plain truth. Can’t you make up your mind to see wbat he wants?” “Go ahead. But give me my gun and patch out,” muttered Denison.In the light of the moon, McCrossen, propped up by Frying Pan, reclined against the trunk of a half-grown tree. Hia eyes were closed.“Here’s BH), Dave,” Scott spoke low aad gently. “Sou- said you wanted to speak to him.” ••Yes, Dave?” said Denison, halt­ ingly.■ •;. fTm done, BIU,* “Dave,” exclaimed Denison, Im sorry It had to end this way.” | . “I talked pretty rough tonight,” said McCrossen, brokenly, spitting the blood out of his throat. “That’s all right, Dave.” “Didn’t really mean It all. You’ve always shot square, Bill. If some folks I’ve trained with had done thatj way, I mightn’t be hero tonight BUI, a favor—” “Go on, Dave.”“I’ve got an old-mald sister back East She’s all Tve got I’d hate her to know this come, rustlin’, “It’ll never be said, Dave." | “Let It be a straight-out fight BUI— you know.” I “I know, Dave; I know. What’a her address?” I “In my trunk. Bill,” murmured Mc­ Crossen thickly. “Promise?” “I promise.”“Give me—your hand.” Pardaloe was tbe first to reach Gun- lock on tbe way home shortly before “I Know, Dave; I Know. Whafa Her Address?* j daylight He rode In on his way to town to get hold of Dr. Carpy for| Den­ ison, whose condition worried him. Fortunately the surgeon was al­ ready at Gunlock, whither he had been summoned to care for’ Sawdy. With Sawdy’s flesh wound already bandaged, Carpy sat In the living room, drinking a pot' of coffee supplied by Jane. He was enjoying In leisurely fashion his third or fourth cup of stealmlng stimulant when the sound of hoofs was heard. In a moment a resounding rap came at the door. | Jane started. In terrified appeal, she looked at the doctor. Carpy responded by calmly wiping his lips. “Who's there?" he demanded curtly. “Bill Pardaloe I” came the resp Carpy flung the door open. Jane ran out of the bedroom. Mr. PardaIoe!” she cried. “Whe Bill? Where Is he?"“He's on his way back to the pltal.” “Is he hnrt? Is he wounded? me!” cried the frantic girl. “Why, no, yes — that Is, he aimin’ to get back to the hospital be­ fore Doc found out be was gone,” par­ ried the veteran awkwardly. Carpy Intervened sternly: “Where Is he now? Talk, Bill!” “Ain't I talkin’? He’* on the way here with Bob Scott” “Then he’s not hurt?” cried Jane. “Why, no, yes—a little, maybe,” stammered Pardaloe. I onse. “Oh, re Is hos- TelI was '•Where you from?" demanded Car- py, still stern. “Deep Creek."'“Was there a fight?” “There was a little brush, Doc." “Was Denison wounded?” “Why—I guess he was pinked, Doc, yes." “Where was he hit?” demanded Carpy. “In the forearm. Doc. We got a tour­ niquet on that—he got another In tbe stomach.” Carpy felt the force of the dlseV>8- ure. “Is he bleeding at the mouth?” he thundered. “Why, no, Doc. But he claims he’* all In.” “We'll bring him out, If that’s alL Who was In the fight? Talk fast!” “Dave McCrossen and Barney—with Bill.” “Where are McCrossen and Reb- stock?" “Right where they were when John Fryln' Pan left me. He was on his way to the Reservation to hunt up a couple of bucks to bury ’em and bring In the cattle,” said Pardaloe in mat­ ter-of-fact fashion. “Sit down here, Bill. Jane,” direct­ ed the doctor, “get the boy a pot of coffee.” “And boll plenty of clean water on the stove." "Yes, doctor. Bill Is going to stop here on the way In, isn’t he, Mr. Pard­ aloe?" asked Jane, tremulously. Pardaloe nodded. “Ought to show up after while. They’re ridin’ kind of slow.” Jane ran to the kitchen. She roused Quong to beat tbe water and came back with supplies. “No," continued Pardaloe, deep In a saucer of hot coffee, “I didn’t see it I was over on the west side of the creek—it’s bad crossin’ there. I don’t know how Bill came up. They never could-a got him across down there. We cut over the reservation and plugged for Gunlock—” He pricked up his ears and interrupted himself. “Shucks I That sounds like somebody now I” Jane listened eagerly. "I can’t hear anyone,” she said. “You will In a minute. There they are again.” Jane ran for the door. “Hold on a minute. Missy,” exclaimed Pardaloe. "Let’s make sure who It is.” He opened the door himself, stepped quickly outside, and shut It behind him. Within a very few minutes, ages to Jane, she heard the stamping of horses. Pardaloe flung the door open and called for Carpy. Jane hurried out with him. Drooping low, Denison, Iron-willed, had stuck to the end of the gruelling ride. Scott told how they had foUowed up the east bank of the creek—he himself on Rebstoek’s horse; how by great good fortune they had found a flask of whisky In Rebstoek’s saddle­ bag, and that this had helped revive, the wounded man when they halted to “spell” him; and how they had crossed Deep Creek at a reservation ford not far below Gunlock ranch. Carpy and Pardaloe lifted Denison down from the horse. Jane supported hts head and stooped to caress him and murmur low words. They laid him on her bed. WhUe Carpy tore open Denison’s clothing and made a hasty examina­ tion, buckets of hot water were brought In. The surgeon^ with wearied back, presently straitened up. uJane," he said solemnly, “you’re a lucky girL The buUet that meant death for your boy struck his belt buckle and tore around his side.

We’ll get him back to tbe hospital In a few days.” “Oh, no, Doctor,” exclaimed Jane unsteadily, but with cold decision. “Why, what do you mean, girl?"“I mean he’s at Gunlock to stay. He's never going to leave it!”(THE END) k 'k'k'k'k'k'k'k'kirk'kic'k-kir'kir'k'k'kir'k'k'kif * U n e x p e c te d ly , s h e k is s e d h im w ith c lin g in g w a r m t h . . .

HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Peao of tbe Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.C Western Newspapet Union* Leston for January 10 NEW LIFE IN CHRIST LESSON TEXT-John 3:1-17.GOLDEN TEXT—Verily, verily. I say tnto thee, Except a m an be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of Godt-Jo h n 3:3. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Answering a Man's Question. JVNIOR TOPIC — the Most Important Question.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— How the Christian Life Begins. VOUNG PEOPLE AND ADOLT TOPIC— New Life In Christ. The only entrance into the Chris­ tian life is by the door of the new birth. Regeneration is the act of God whereby the divine nature is imparted to the believing sinner and he becomes the child of God. He who has not entered by this way has not entered at all. He is stiU dead in trespasses and sins, with­out God and without hope (Eph. 2:1, 12).Men are seeking to enter the household of God by almost any other means—culture, reform, char­ acter building—and are neglecting God’s way. This lesson should there­ fore be studied and taught with earnest prayer that this foundation truth may lay hold upon the hearts of Uie hearers of the Word. Let no one who is not born again attempt to teach it to others, lest the blind attempt to lead the blind, and both fall into the ditch (Luke 6:39).The coming of Nicodemus to our Lord took place at the time when he was in Jerusalem for. the Pass- over. Jesus had fchosen six of bis disciples, had been at Cana of Gal­ ilee, where he performed his first miracle, and had made a brief visit to Capernaum, after which he came to Jerusalem for the feast. In high and holy indignation he had driven the money changers out of the tem­ ple. The Pharisees who looked for the coming of the Messiah as a secular conqueror wondered at this new spiritual leader. It was prob­ ably as much on their behalf as bis own that Nicodemus came to in­ quire of Jesus. In answering his questions Jesus reveals the neces­ sity, the nature, and the method of regeneration^—in other words, the Why, What, and How of the New Birth. I. Whyt (w . 1-7.) Jesus was not unduly impressed by the dignity and high station of his visitor, nor by the visitor’s cour­ teous acknowledgment of his own position as a great teacher. With decisive boldness Jesus declares that this man, a cultured and dis­ tinguished ruler of the Jews, must be bom again, if he is to see the kingdom of God. God is no respecter of persons. This “doctor of divinity” must be bom again, just as was the illiterate fisherman. D. L. Moody once said that he was thankful it was to such a man as Nicodemus that Jesus presented the necessity of the new birth—or men would have said that only the down-and-outer needed to be saved. Two reasons are given by our Lord for the “must” of verse 7: (I) The Kingdom of God is a spir­ itual kingdom, and cannot be en­ tered by way of our human nature; and (2) "That which is bom of the flesh is flesh” and is radically and essentially bad. To learn why the flesh is: bad read Jeremiah 13:23, and Galatians 5:19-21. n . What? (w . 8-13). The new birth is a divine mys­ tery, not fathomable by human reason. Those who insist that all spiritual truth be put through the little norm of their intelligence will never understand it 'or receive its blessing. The striking illustration of the life-giving and energizing wind used by our Lord is most il­ luminating. Wind is unseen, but the results of its movement are evi­ dent. m . How? (w . 14-17.) Just as there was healing and life in a look at the uplifted serpent (Num. 21:8), so there is life for a look at ti e Crucified One. Faith re­ ceives God’s perfect provision for sin. . Verse 16 may well be regarded as the greatest sentence in the greatest Book in the world. It presents the whole plan of salva­ tion—its source, its ground, its re­ cipients, its condition,, and its re­ sult.This glorious salvation is for all men — “whosoever” — but some reject it. Notice that God does not condemn them. Their own evil works and desires condemn them (w . 17-20). God in his grace is ready and willing to save, but men love “darkness rather than light”; for their works are evil. It s Harder to Lose Pounds Than It Is to Gain More of Them Overweight Generally Has But One Cause and That Is Overeating. 'God's Mercy O God, the whole world is as a drop of morning dew. But Thou hast mercy upon ail . . .. Fo? Thou Iov- est all things that are, and abhor- est nothing that Thou hast made . . . But Thou sparest all, for'they are Thine, O Lord, Thou lover at souls. Doing WeH : He doeth much that doth a thing well. He doeth well that rather serveth the commonwealth, than his own will.—Thomw a Kempis. "The dim, the irritable, the hungry woman takes on the pro­ portion of one of our minor men­ aces,” says Fannie Hurst in her amusing little book, “No Food With My Meals.” Miss Hurst is writing frankly from her owr ex­ perience in attempting successful­ ly to lose pounds. She admits herself that although she under­ took her reduction program under the direction of the doctor, she was not content with the com­ paratively slow results and cut still further the low calorie diet which the physician gave her. It is one of the mysteries of life that it is much harder to lose added pounds than it is to gain them. The bathroom scales, which are now so general a part of equipment, enable us to keep a check on weight. It is not so easy for those' extra pounds which creep upon us unaware as it was once upon a time. A few days of dieting in time will save the slender figure. Remember, how­ ever, that, in general, the addi­ tion it a few extra pounds with the years is an asset. They are usually needed to balance those lines which the years write. Unless there is some glandular deficiency, overweight has but one cause, namely, overeating. The avoidance of more calories than are needed for use by the body for its own processes and for the activity of our lives may usually be a simple matter if there are no between meal sweets and no over-indulgence in bread, butter, other fats and rich desserts with meals. Not complete avoidance! It is only the second helpings that are usually responsible for undue weight-gain. Lookingoutforthat pound in time will actually save nine. Just one word of warning, however, don’t advertise publicly your diet program. Cotfee Jelly.

Bunyan Created Lakes Elk and Torch lakes, the beau­ tiful finger lakes that stretch par­ allel for miles along the shore of Lake Michigan near Elk Rapids, date back to the days of Paul Buhyan, according to the old lum­ berjacks. Lake Michigan, they say, was scooped out by the mighty Paul, to be used as a log pond. Instead of skidding the logs into a stream and floating them down to his pond Paul would hitch onto a section of land and drag it over to the lake,'log off the timber, and then haul the section back. One day Paul hooked onto a particularly heavy timbered sec­ tion near the Boardman and started Babe, the blue ox, out to haul it over to the lake. There had been .a heavy rain, th e ground was greasy, and Babe's feet slipped. Torch, and EIk lakes remain, an eternal testimonial to the blue ox and the time his feet slipped.— Detroit Free Press.

Ohio’s Early Pigeon Plague In the-early '80’s, Ohio was in the path of a pigeon plague that caused more damage to the farmers than the grasshopper plagues of more re­cent days in the V/est. It was called the “Plague of Millions of Pigeons,” and the millions of such birds that settled in the forests and farms were beyond even an estimated, count. For example, says the Cleve­ land Plain Dealer, a forest of sev­ eral hundred acres in Washington county was destroyed by the pi­ geons that blanketed the area, caus­ ing stout limbs to break off of trees and shed roofs to collapse by their sheer weight in numbers. One pi­ geon roost in this same county-was said to cover a thousand acres. Kng Solomon's Ants - A certain species of ants, made famous by-King Solomon, are. grain- collectors. They gather grain, store it In seasons of plenty against a sea­ son of scarcity, and once were thought to plant and grow grain since a few of their stored grains would sprout and grow. Once soldier ants, their former weapons have been turned into plowshares, their armament having been converted into grinding and' crushing tools. The big ants, formerly soldiers, grind up the grain and the weaker, smaller ants chew up the flour thus produced, moisten’it into a kind of paste, and put cakes of it out in the sun-to bake.

It suc­ ceeded the club foot as a terminal in English furniture, its greatest decorative use being in what was called the Transition period of the early Georgian era, which continued through the early work of Chippen­ dale to the beginning of the reign of George III. A Beginning of Labor Oay The first proclamation authorizing the setting aside of a new holiday to be known as Labor Day was is­ sued by Gov. Lyman U. Humphreys of Kansas, a native Ohioan, says a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.In his proclamation he recom­mended that Monday, Sept. I, 1890, be observed in the Prairie state by a suspension of business so that all who so desired could take part in a Dublic celebration.

That amount is your share of the National debt and the National debt is the first lien on your earn­ ings, your business and your home, whether you can see it as such or recognize it as meaning all of that, Today th e total governmental debt stands at the record figure of 53 billion, of which Federal debt for 19 billion dollars. It averages $ 4 2 4 for every man, woman and child in this country—$2 ,1 2 0 for a family of five. It will have to be paid—by your children or their children’s child ren, if not by you. Tbe only source ot governmental credit is your pro perty. The only source of government revenue is the extraction of money from your pocket, through taxa tion, to pay government bills. The notional debt is constantly growing, and some authorities an ticipate it will be increased by 10 to 3 0 per cent within the compara­ tively near future. If the citizens of this country permit continued and unrestrained prodigality in government, they should not kick about foliowing the Pied Piper to the poorbouse.— Charlotte Observer. Wakes Up Fire—Six Die In the early morning a father was struggling to get some heat from the kitchen stove. Exasper­ ated by the balky fire, he said, “I’ll wake it up!’’ and seized a can of kerosene. Then the sleeping giant did a- wake. In . the explosion and fire that followed, the entire family of six were killed. Fire accidents are particularly prevalent at this cold season, says the National Board of Fire Under­ writers. People become impatient, try to quicken a a fire with kero­ sene or still wore, gasoline. Need­ less to say, this is a practice that is never safe. Fatal accidents from dry clean ing with gasoline, benzine and other inflammable Jiquids are also apt to occur. Housewives who have been attempting their own dry cleaning with these dangerous fluids in their backyards are forced to- go inside by the cold-weather. Here an ex plosive mixture of gasoline fumes and air is quickly formed in the confined space and only a tiny flame or spark is required to cause an explosion, and fire. Ten thousand persons lose their lives in .fires annually, while an equal number are seriously injured. The property loss from fire averages about $3 0 0,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 each year. —Ex. Auto Crash Toll Takes 35,708 Lives. A tragic estimate that 35,708 per­ sons lost their lives in automobile ac­ cidents in the United States was told Thursday night at the government’s accident prevention conference in Washington.

Better and Wider Bridges. The heavy rains of the past few days have done a great deal ol damage in a number of places but the news accounts do not cite, as they once did, a list of many bridges washed away. The rea­ son is that under our modern high way set-up better bridges are being constructed and-they are located in such, a manner that they are seldom damaged materially by rising waters. This is true even with re spect to bridges across the smallei streams, as a rule. But there is a fly in the ointment. Some of our bridges are still too narrow to be safe under all the ex igencies of modern traffic. A motor­ ist complains particularly against the Yadkin River bridge on the Mocksville highway. The driver, a lady, recently was forced to back off the bridge for a distance of a bout one-third its length when she found that her car could not pass a Greyhound bus. Of course, ii drivers have the time and inclination to stop and make sure that no large bus or tiuck is approaching bridges of this sort, they can get across eventally without mishap or the inconveni ence of backing up. But most drivets are likely to assume, as this lady did, that the bridge is wide enough to accommodate two ve­ hicles what ever their description. Therefore they are apt to drive a- bead. If we are going to allow large and long vehicles of almost every description to use our highways, and very evidently we are, the bridges, should be made wide en ough for such vehicles to pass an ordinary car at least. Public safety demands this.— Winston-Salem Sentinel. Spending A Dollar, Tak­ ing In 61 Cents. The Federal treasury is doing a bit of lusty crowing. It has dosed its major ledgers for the first half of the fiscal year and found that it has been doing a phe­ nomenal job in Federal financing! In fact, it has been spending only one dollar every time it ’ gathered in 61 cents in re .enues! To the laity’even this questionable cause for-self-acclaim will be en­ couraging when the popular under­ standing has been that the Federal government has been spending two dollars every time it took in one. To find that it has been spending only one. dollar every time it received 61 cents to cover is far less wretched­ ly poor financing than humor had had it. Incidentally, however, if one is of a mind to do some highly speculative figuring on the" side, it might be entertaining, if not profitable fof one to get to work ;right now on the ma­ thematical e'quation of how long an individual would economically last if he spent a dollar for every 61 cents he earned.—Charlotte Observer. : Jamshyd, King of the. Peris In Persian mythology, Jamshyd was the king of the Peris. In pun­ ishment for his boast, of immortal­ ity, he was compelled to assume human form and dwell on earth where he became a mighty King of Persia. He was supposed to have reigned for 700 years, of which 300 were happy and beneficent. C atsProteetedbyL aw In the Middle Ages cats were rare..

One Hundred Years Old Just one hundred years ago, in 1836, Davie county was formed from a part cf Rowan County. The area is 258 square miles. Davie was named for General William Richard son Davie, of Halifax, who was born in England. Jan. 20 1756. Gen. Davie served' in the Revolutionary Army and was the founder of the State University. He was appoint­ ed Governor of North Carolina in 1799. and was appointed a special en­ voy to the first French Republic while in office. He died in South Carolina Nov. 18,1820. The county seat of Davie is Mocks- vilie. which now has a population of about 2,000 people. The town was named for the Mock family, the pre­ sent site of which was once called Mock’s old field.” The first court was held in 1836 in the Methodist church. The first court house was built of brick in 3837, a picture of which ap­ pears at the top of this article. This court house was used until 1909, when a new court house was built. Thisnew building was badly dam­ aged by fire in 1916, the second story being practically destroyed. The damage was repaired, and Davie has a modern, up-to-date court bouse. The court house built 100 years ago, was torn down in 1920, to make room for the new concrete state highway that links Mocksville and Salisbury. The old court house was located in the center of the public square where the Statesville, Wins­ ton-Salem and Salisbury highways now converge. John Clement, who was in the Legislature from Rowan county, had a bill passed forming Davie County from the upper portion of Rowan. The same bill carried a proviso that John Clement' should be the first Clerk of the Court in Davie. This position he held until 1845. Martin R. Chaffin, great uncle of the editor of The Record, who died in 1924, at the age of 97, was a young boy when the jail was built in 1839 and was employed to keep the shav­ ings cleared out of the building dur­ ing the course of erection. The old jail is still standing but has been re­ modeled and is now owned, and oc­ cupied by Lonnie Kurfees. A new jail was built about 25 years ago in the rear of the present court house. The following county commission­ ers were in office when bonds were issued to build the new court house in 1909: C. G. Bailey, chairman: B. F. Stonestreet and Dr. J. M. Cain. The county attorneys were T. B, Bailey and A. T. Grant. Jr. All of these men are now dead except A. T. Grant. The corner stone of the present court house was laid by the local Masonic Lodge, assisted by Masons from other sections of the state. The first railroad in Davie county was the N. C. Midland, built in 1892, connecting Mocksville and Winston, In 1899 the line was extended from Mocksville to Mooresville. Davie county issued $40,000 in bonds to help build the railroad from the Yadkin River to Mocksville, a distance of 12 miles. These bonds are still, owned bv the county, T , Victoria Inherited Throne Queen Victoria inherited the throne from her uncle, King Wil­ liam IV. Her father, the king’s next younger brother, had previously died and Queen Victoria was there: fore next in line of succession. Queen Victoria had no brothers and she was the only child of her father. AU A Question Of The Unit. Thequestion of which shall be con­ sidered the unit of decision as to final adjudication of the liquor problem in North Carolina is vital. In fact, it is the vital phase of the natter. Whether the State as a whole, or •ach of the individual 100 counties, -shall be determined to be the ulti­ mate unit of decision was the issue >ver which the seven members of the Governor’s Commission split, four ■.nd three. Some of us feel that the State should be that unit instead of each of he counties. That was the Commis- ion’s minority view. On that basis, of course the ma­ jority vote of tha people of North Carolina, as a whole, would decide the case for the. entire State. It would then be an outright pro­ position of having either a wet or Iry State. The county option plan, on the other hand, would leave the final decision to each of these 100 units. If 50 of them voted wet. these would be wet; and if the other 50 voted dry, these would remain dry. Or if one voted wet and 99 voted dry, that would be the ratio of final difference, and vice versa. Eighteen countiee, by virtue of rights vested in their voters by the last General Assembly, now have legalized liquor. The other 82 have not. A county-by-county-option plan would develop a grosser mess than uow exists. Wet and dry counties would be in­ terspliced. one wet set over against ■me dry, with the dry county’s wet* patronizing the wet county’s shops and to all intents and purposes, ex­ cept that of the revenues, making the entire State wet. Moreover, if the idea of local self- government is to be allowed' to pre vail in this case, as unquestionably the sponsors of this idea desired, why not carry that theory of government down to its ultimate political unit, even to that of the township? One is as logical, it would seem, as the other In principle. Is there, indeed, not as much justi­ fication in allowing the several town­ ships in a given county to decide this thing for themselves as there is to allow the several counties in the State to make their individual decis­ ions? It would then work like this: If Pineville township in Mecklen­ burg county voted wet and Provi­ dence township dry. or vice versa, we would have the grotesque spec­ tacle of an invisible line separating the legally dry and the legally wet territories in which friends and neighbors are now living. With the result, of course, that the thirsty citizens of the .township vot­ ing dry would step across the big road and into the grog shop of the township that had voted wet, load up aod step back across the road into one’s own hemo on dry terrai The only difference between such a case and the county-bv-county option plan is the difference in geographical physical distances. The principle is exactly the same. And the consequences of putting this principle into action would also be exactly the same. TheObserverhas been convinced all along that when this question of liquor control in North Carolina was to be officially and formally faced by the people of the State, it ought to to be determined on the basis of all the people deciding the issue for all of their state. We have not been swerved' from that judgment even by the majority report of the Governor’s Commission although confessing to eminently high regard for the views of those gentlemen, theirSpatriotism, their sincerity and their distinguished in­ telligence. In this particular part of North Carolina which has tried to live under every conceivable plan of liquor con­ trol during the past 40 vears, experi­ ence will vindicate the judgment that the county option recourse is unsatis­ factory to all concerned. Andthat jis our conviction, even 90 Democrats To Get To Pie Counter. The Legislature met in special ses­ sion and without batting an “I” or rossing a “T” blindly voted the measure establishing the state un­ employment compensation commis- don a n d immediately Governor Ehringhaus appointed his pet, one Charles G. Powell, of Granville county, who had been bis private secretary for nearly four years chair­ man of the commission and Mrs. .J. 3. Spillman, vice chairman of the Democratic state executive commit­ tee as the other member. It is stated that Powell’s salary will be $5,000 a year which is twice the salary .he could get in any other line of work. The Democratic woman on the board is to get $4,500 a year, a hefty salary for a woman in this state. Powell has already stated that 90 people will be employed in bis depart­ ment which will doubtless be doubled in a few weeks. This will take care of 90 "Deserving Democrats” who went down the line for the Gardner- Ehringhaua-Hoev combine. *Among the major jobs to be given out are director of unemployment (wonder what Powell and Mrs. Spill­ man will be doing all this time?) auditor, two or three assistant audi­ tors a'whole army of clerks and stenographers not to mention janitors and spittoon cleaners. It is presumed that at least 60 per cent of the new employes will be tak­ en from the eastern section of the state and perhaps more tbah 60 per cent of them from Raleigh and Wake county.—Union Republican. Intoxicating Wine Berng Sold. It is reported that large quanti­ ties of wine with alcoholic content over five per cent and ranging in some instances as high as 21 per cent is being sold not only in Winston-Sa­ lem and Forsyth county but over the entire state where these wine and beer joints are in operation. The 1935 Legislature in its mad drunken scramble during the closing days amended the 3.2 beer law and the 5 per cent wine law but it seems no attention is being paid to this part of the law. The Legislature passed a wine law which allowed wine in any quanity with any alco­ holic intent to be drunk or sold so long as the wine was made at home from home grown products. Of course no attention is pa<d to this part of the law. Wine bottlers are located at Aberdeen, High Point, Greensboro and other places and are flooding the state with their pro­ ducts Theattornev general is reported to have ruled that wines from out of the state have as much right to be sold here as those in the state and there you are. Be that as it may, one can buy all the wine he wants in Winston-Salem that has above 20 per cent alcoholic content and it will make the "drunk” come too —Ex. The Editor.

Of course, if drivers have the time and inclination to stop and make sure that' no large bus or ttuck is approaching bridges of this sort, they can get across eventally without mishap or the inconveni ence of backing up. But most drivets are likely to assume, as this lady did, that ther bridge is wide enough to accommodate two ve­ hicles what ever their description. Therefore they are apt to drive a- bead. ■ If we are going to allow large and long vehicles of almost every description to use our highways, and very evidently we are, the bridges should be made wide en ough for such vehicles to pass an ordinary car at least. Public safety demands this. — Winston-Salem Sentinel. Spending A Dollar, Tak­ ing In 61 Cents. The Federal treasury is doing a bit of lusty crowing. It has dosed its major ledgers for the first half of the fiscal year and found that it has been doing a phe­ nomenal job in Federal financing! In fact, it has been spending only one dollar every time it gathered in 61 cents in re .enues! ■ To the laity- even this questionable cause forself-acelaim will be en­ couraging when the popular under* standing has been ,that the Federal government, has been spending two dollars every time it took in one. To find that it has been spending only one dollar every time it received 61 cents to cover is far less wretched­ ly poor financing than humor had had it. Inddentally, however, if one is of a mind to do some highly speculative figuring on the side, it might be entertaining, if not profitable for one to get to work right now on the ma­ thematical Equation of bow long an individual would economically last if he spent a dollar for every 61 cents he earned.—Charlotte Observer. Jamshyd, King of the Peris In Persian mythology, Jamshyd was the king of the' Peris. In pun­ ishment for his boast of immortal­ ity, he was compelled to assume, human form and dwell on earth where he became a mighty King of Persia. He was supposed to have reigned for 700 years, of which 300 were happy and beneficent. Cats Protected by LawIntheMiddleAgescatswererare.

Ooe Hundred Years Old Just one hundred years ago, in 1836, Davie county was formed from a part of- Rowan County. The area is 258 Equare miles. Davie was named for General William Richard son Davie, of Halifax, who was borr- in England, Jan. 20 1756. ' Gen. Oavie served' in the Revolutionary Army’and was the founder of the State University. He was appoint­ ed Governor of North Carolina in 1799. and was appointed a special en­ voy to the first French Republic while in office. He died in South Carolina Nov. 18,1820. The county seat of Davie is Mocke- ville. which now has a population of about 2,000 people. The town was named for the Mock famiiy. the pre­ sent site of which was once called Mock’s old field.” The first court was held in 1836 in the Methodist church. The first court house was built of brick in 1837, a picture of which ap­ pears at the top of this article. This court house was used until 1909, when a new court house was built. This new building was badly dam­ aged by fire in' 1916, the second story being practically destroyed. The damage was repaired, and Davie has a modern, up-to-date court bouse. The court house built 100 yearB ago, was torn down in 1920, to make room for the new concrete state highway that links Mocksville and Salisbury. The old court house was located in the center of the public square where the Statesville, Wins­ ton-Salem and Salisbury highways now converge. John Clement, who was in the Legislature from Rowan county, had a bill passed forming Davie County from the upper portion of Rowan. The same bill carried a proviso th'at John Clement' should be the first Clerk of the Court in Davie. This position he held until 1845. Martin R. Chaffin, great uncle of the editor of The Record, who died in 1924, at the age of 97. was a young boy when the jail was built in 1839 and was employed to keep the shav­ ings cleared out of the building dur­ ing the course of erection. The old jail is still standing but has been re­ modeled and is now owned, and oc­ cupied by Lonnie Kurfees. A new jail was built about 25 years ago in the-rear of the present court bouse. The following county commission­ ers were in office when bonds were issued to build the new court house in 1909: C. G. Bailey, chairman; B. F. Stonestreet and Dr. J. M. Cain. The county attorneys were T. B. Bailey and A. T. Grant. Jr.' AU of these men are now dead except A. T. Grant. The corner stone of the present court house was laid by the local Masonic Lodge, assisted by Masons from other sections of the state. The first railroad in Davie county was the N. C. Midland, built in 1892, connecting Mocksville and Winston- In 1899 the line was extended from Mocksville to Mooresville, Davie county issued $40,000 in bonds to help build the railroad from the Yadkin River to Mocksville, a distance of 12 miles. These bonds ajre StilLiowned bv"the county, ' I ' -: T T VictoriaInheritedThrone Queen Victoria inherited th e throne from her uncle, King Wil­ liam IV.

AU A Question Of The Unit Thequestion of which shall be con­ sidered the unit of decision as to final adjudication of the liquor problem in North Carolina is vital. In fact, it is the vital phase of the natter. Whether the State as a whole, or -ach of the individual 100 counties, diall be determined to be tLe uiti- nate unit of decision was the issue >ver which the seven members of the Governor’s Commission split, four tnd three. Some of us feel that the State should be that unit instead of each of he counties. That was the Commis- ion’s minority view. On that basis, of course the ma­ jority Vote of the people of North Carolina, as a whole, would decide the case for the. entire State. It would then be an outright pro­ position of having either a wet or Iry State. The county option plan, on the other hand, would leave the final decision to each of these 100 units. If 50 of them voted wet. these would be wet; and if the other 50 voted dry, these would remain dry. Or if one voted wet and 99 voted dry, that would be the ratio of final difference, and vice versa. Eighteen countiee, by virtue of rights vested in their voters by the last General Assembly, now have legalized liquor. The other 82 have not. A county-by-county-option plan would develop a grosser mess than now exists. Wet and dry counties would be in- terspliced. one wet set over against ■me dry, with the dry county’s wet* patronizing the wet county’s shops and to all intents and purposes, ex­ cept that of the revenues, making the entire State wet. Moreover, if the idea of local self- government is to be allowed- to pre vail in this case, as unquestionably the sponsors of this idea desired, why not carry that theory of government down to its ultimate political unit, even to that of the township? One is aB logical, it would seem, ss the other in principle. Is there, indeed, not as much justi­ fication in allowing the several town­ ships in a given county to decide this thing for themselves as there is to allow the several counties in the State to make their individual decis­ ions? It would then work like this: If Pineville township in Mecklen­ burg county voted wet and Provi­ dence township dry. or vice versa, we would have the grotesque spec­ tacle of an invisible line separating the legally dry and the legally wet territories in which friends and neighbors are now living. With the result, of course, that the thirsty citizens of the !township vot­ ing dry would step across the big road and into the grog shop of the township that had voted wet. load up and step back across the road into one’s own hemo on dry terrai The only difference between such a case and the count;-bv-county option plan is the difference in geographical physical distances. The principle is exactly the samp. And the consequences of putting this principle into action would also be exactly the same. The Observer has been convinced all along that when this question of liquor control in North Carolina was to be officially and formally faced by the people of the State, it ought to to be determined on the basis of all the people deciding the issue for all of their state. We have not been swerved' from that judgment even by the majority report of the Governor’s Commission although confessing to eminently high regard for the views of those gentlemen, theirMpatriotism, their sincerity and their distinguished in­ telligence. ■- In this particular part of North Carolina which has tried to live under every coneeivable.plan of liquor con­ trol during the past 40 years, experi­ ence will vindicate the judgment that the county option recourse is unsatis­ factory to all concerned. Andthat js our conviction, even 90 Democrats To Get To Pie Counter., The Legislature met in special sea- don and without batting an "I” or crossing a “T” blindly voted the measure establishing the state un­ employment compensation commis­ sion a n d immediately Governor Ehringhaus appointed his pet, one Charles G. Powell, of Granville county, who had been his private secretary for nearly four years chair­ man of the commission and Mrs. .J. I. Spillman, vice chairman of the Democratic state executive commit­ tee as the other member. It is stated that Powell’s salary will be $5,000 a year which is twice the salary .he :ould get in any other line of work. Fhe Democratic woman on the board is to get $4,500 a year, a hefty salary for a woman in this state. Powell has already stated that 90 people will be employed in his depart­ ment which wiil doubtless be doubled in a few weeks. This will take care of 90 "Deserving Democrats” who went down the line for the Gardner- Bhringhaus-Hoev combine.! CAmong the major jobs to be given out are director of unemployment (wonder what Powell and Mrs. Spill­ man will be doing, all this time?) auditor, two or three assistant audi­ tors a whole army of clerks and stenographers not to mention janitors and spittoon cleaners. It is presumed that at least 60 per cent of the new employes will be tak­ en from the eastern section of the state and perhaps more thah 60 per cent of them from Raleigh and Wake county.—Union Republican, Intoxicating Wine Being Sold. Itis reported that large quanti­ ties of wine with alcoholic content over five per cent and ranging in some instances as high as 21 per cent is being sold not only in Winston-Sa­ lem and Forsyth county but over the entire state where these wine and beer joints are in operation. The 1935 Legislature in its mad- drunken scramble during the closing days amended the 3.2 beer law and the 5 per cent wine law but it seems no attention is being paid to this part of the law. The Legislature passed a wine law which allowed wine in any quanity with any alco­ holic intent to be drunk or sold so long as the wine was made at home from home grown products. Of course no attention is paid to this part of the law. Wine bottlers are located at Aberdeen, High Point! Greensboro and other-places and are flooding the state with their pro­ ducts Theattornev general is reported to have ruled that wines from out of the state have as much right to be sold here as those in the state and there you are. Be that as it may, one can buy all the wine he wants in Winston-Salem that has above 20 per cent alcoholic content and it will make the “drunk” come too —Ex. The Editor.

RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. B R IG H T S T A R By M ary Schumann Copyright by Macras Smith Gttk WNU Servlod CHAPTER I Hugh Marsh waited on the sta­ tion platform for the 11:25 from Washington which was bringing his younger sister, Kezia, homt from school. The train was a few min­ utes late. He was annoyed and wished he had called before he left Iiis office to time its arrival. He might have worked r. few minutes longer on the cost sheet he was preparing. Around him were the milling people who wait for trains, people of all classes and conditions, some with harassed faces who carried cheap suitcases, one or two laugh­ ing family groups, some traveling salesmen, with smart luggago and an air of success. A long whistle coming from around ; the curve, startled the groups on the station platform in­ to scrambling activity. Baggage was lifted, good-byes were said, the crowd surged forward toward the steel rails as the train thundered by ai.d came to a gradual stop.Kezia, twenty years old, slim and ' delectable, her eyes bright with ex­ citement, a small brown hat on her curly ash-blond hair, a jacket­ ed brown silk suit with a spray of pn A m iitm ,. "Good-by—Perhaps We May i / Meet Again.’' orchids at the shoulder, came down the steps of the sleeping car. The smartness of her costume and the supple grace with which she moved, made her look much pret­ tier than she really was. She smiled radiantly at the .well- dressed man of 30 who picked up her bags with his from the row the porter had set out, chatted to liim as they came along the nar­ row space between the wall of the embankment and the train.“Here—here!” said Hugh touch­ ing her arm. “Hugh, darling!” she cried in glad surprise. She kissed him, held both his hands for a second, then turning to her companion, said: “This is Hugh, the most wonderful brother in the world, !Ar. DeGrafie. Nice people should know- each other, and Mr. DeGraffe has been very nice on this trip!” Hio men shook hands. DeGraffe, obviously amused by Kezia, ut­ tered a few inconsequentials, mur­ mured, “Good-by—perhaps we may meet again,” lifted his hat and followed in the wake of a taxi driver. Hugh and Kezia climbed the stairs to the street and the wait­ ing car. Hugh released the brake prepar­atory to starting. “Ever hear lit­tle girls shouldn’t talk to strange men on trains?” “How do'you know I picked him up?” she asked, pouting. “Deduction—‘perhaps we may meet again.” ’ She wrinkled her r.ose at him. “Even Emily Post says you may speak to a well-bred stranger in a museum or traveling! Don’t be elder-brotherly!” She added in a whisper with a pert look at him, “I’m grown up now—know my way about!" “Serving notice?” “Just as well,” she laughed. They went forward to the green light and edged their way through a narrow street congested, with traffic. The steel mills beyoui the river vibrated with a rhythm that was like the roar of distant surf.“How is Mother?” she inquired almost at once.“Very well.” “The love!” murmured .Kezia tenderly. “And how is Dorrie?” “She’s, great. She had an en­gagement or she would have come this noon. She sent her love.” “No little hopes for' the bassi­ nette? . . . Shame on you, Hugh! You’ve been married four years.” “Give us time—we’re, young.” "Think of sister Margery’s ex­ ample—three in no time at ail!” “Living is expensive.” , ' “And so is Dorrie.” The flicker of annoyance iu his hazel eyes was his only answer. “How’s EUen Pendleton?” she asked. '“She’s going with a boy named Jerry Purdue. Good - looking, smooth—but not up to Ellen, ac­ cording to Mother.” “Ellen stfll arty?” The edge in her voice did not escape Hugh. Kezzie had always ’’had it in” for Ellen, a distant cousin on their mother’s side, a remnant of childish jealousy. El­ len had a natural charm, unique and appealing, which was all the more provocative because she was so unconscious of it. “I think she still paints a little,” he replied. "Gavin and Lizzie wouldn’t let her finish art school, you know.” To himself he wondered as he often had before: How the dick­ ens had Gavin and Lizzie managed to produce such a lovely lyric crea­ ture as Ellen? They moved faster up an avenue over which elms met forming a Gothic archway. A mile further on, Hugh, made a.'sharp turn. “There it is,” said Kezia, in a choked voice, her eyes misted with tears. Their childhood home lay before them, a white house with colonial pillars set back on a deep lawn. When they turned into the drive a woman rose from a chair on the porch.“Mother!” cried Kezia. She leaped out of the car the second Hugh brought it to a stop. “Kezzie, darling, it has been so long!” Fluvanna Marsh put her arms about her daughter, kissed her, then held her'off to look in­ to her eyes with wistful affection.So long—and it is good to have you home to stay!” Then her fin­ gers touched Hugh’s sleeve with a caressing gesture although she had seen him only a few hours before on his way-to the office. Sie murmured “Hugh.” That was part of Mother’s hold over him, thought Hugh. If you skipped a day coming to see her, she never made you feel remiss. At each meeting she surrounded you with an unspoken flood of joy in your presence, as silent and in­ tangible as sunshine. ‘ “It’s great to be home—simply marvelous! I could have cheered when I saw Pittsburgh this morn­ ing—dear old smoky Pittsburgh! It reminded me of Corinth . . . And everything’s just the same, the house, the yard—you. Mother! Oh, I do love it all—and Tm going to have a wonderful time this sum­ mer! . . . Come on, Hugh, be a redcap for me! Carry my grips upstairs and I’ll wash up.” Her room had been redecorated in her absence and she exclaimed with pleasure. “Pale gold, and chintz of gold and green! Ador­able!” She went about joyfully ex­ amining her possessions, her book-case, the pictures on the wall. Margery was sitting on the porch with his mother when Hugh came downstairs. “Hello, Hugh.” She lifted her face for his brotherly kiss. “I wanted to go to the train with you but things were compli­ cated this morning. ’ Angela would not sleep after her bath. She walked around her crib, clinging to the bars—and sang!—and she’s only 10 months old. Stop laughing! . . She really sang, I tell you!” (TO BE CONTINUED) ★ Beginning in this issue!

Common as is the name of “John­ son” in our national annals, Hen­ rietta Johnson is the least known of al) of them. In this era of the "emancipated woman” all fields of human en­ deavor are open to feminine invad­ ers. But it was very different 200 years ago. In those days woman’s place was very much “in the home” and she might not leave it, even for excursions into the arts. But it was in that field that Henrietta Johnson distinguished herself and by doing so she placed posterity everlastingly in her debt. For she was America’s Srst woman painter. We know her name but little else. Tne date of her death is recorded in the St. Philip’s church register it Charleston, S. C., and that is the only established date in her history. By the social code under which she lived, “a lady's name should never appear in public print but twice: first to announce her marriage and again to announce her death.” Since she never married that leaves us only the date of her death—March 9,1728. When and where she was born and whose daughter she was is an unsolved mystery. We know that she was a pastel painter and in this medium she did work that rivalled that of'some of the famous French masters. We know that she was painting these pictures between 1707 and 1720, since the few surviving examples of her art were made during that period. And that is a fact which, gives her work importance. For in her day the scheme of an heredi­ tary American aristocracy was be­ ing tried out in Carolina and the people whose portrait? she made were colonial officers and repre­ sentatives of the landed gen­ try whose great plantations sur- -ounded Charleston. One of the notables she painted was Col. William Rhett, colonel of the provincial militia, receiver-gen­eral of the Lords Proprietor-e and the man who, in 1718, captured the famous pirate, Steve Bonnet—a feat which would make the name of Rhett .forever famous, even if some of hi. descendants hadn’t done so in the more recent history of South Carolina. Just how many portraits Henri­ etta Johnson painted is not certain, but the known examples of her work that have survived for two cen­turies are so few that they command prices which compare favorably with those paid for the works of the “old masters” of Europe. Quite aside from their artistic and his­ toric value, they possess a high “rarity value”—because they came from the brush of America’s first woman painter. “Typhoid. Maryw \IT H E N her Irish parents V V brought her to a priest in New York city one day, he christened her Mary Mallon. But on hospital rec- •ords in the East she became only a number, or more specifically, “Car­ rier No. 36.” For she was the famous “Typhoid Mary.” Back in 1904 there occurred mys­ terious outbreaks of typhoid -fever in certain sections of Westchester, Long Island and other districts around New York city. Examina­ tion of food and water failed to: give any clues to the origin of the bacilli which were causing it. But Dr. George Soper, a sanitaryl engineer in the municipal health, service, remembered a German' bacteriologist had proved Diiat some, people, while immune themselves to typhoid, carried the germ and gave the fever to others. Tracing: the outbreaks he found that an Irish cook named Mary Mallon had, in' every instance, been employed in. the stricken household. He learned also that Mary, at the first hint of, each illness, fled from her job. Finally the health authorities1 caught up with her and in 1907 she was detained and, against her wiQ, given an examination. She was, found to be infected with millions of typhoid bacilli. She went to court to' gain her freedom but lost her suit. Finally in 1910, she was freed. However, typhoid epidemics be­ gan again and in each case Mary Mallon was found to have been the cook. Again she was confined in a hospital. Evjitually she became re­ signed to her fate, was given a lab­ oratory job and then furnished a lit­ tle cottage of her own on North Brothers'island, where she lived in semi-imprisonment for 21 years. She died a few years ago—but not from typhoid. First there was a stroke of paralysis from which she rallied. During the next three years she gradually .failed and finally, when she was sixty-six years old. Death opened the door for the frail, gray-haired little woman and “Ty­ phoid Mary’s” long imprisonment was ended. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible IostitBta of Chicago.O Western Newspaper Union* Lesson for January 17 JESDS THE WATER OF LIFE LESSON TEXT—John 4:7-26. GOLDEN TEXT—Whosoever drinketh Ot Ihe water that I shall give him shall never thirst. John 4:14. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Answering a Woman’s Question. JUNIOR TOPIC—HOw a Stranger Be­ came a Friend. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Jesus Meets My Greatest Needs.YOtING PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Jesus Meets Our Deepest 'Need. Life, light, water, bread are ele­ mental, fundamental things. Life must come from God. But it can exist only where there is light, and only God gives light. It is therefore a blessed and sig­ nificant fact that- Jesus was de­ clared to be the life of men. He also says of himself that he is the “light of the world” (John 9:5); “t*je bread of life” (John 6:35). In our lesson today we see Him as the one who gives “living water” (v. 10 ). The incident at Jacob’s well in Sychar took place when Jesus, leaving Jerusalem because of in­ creasing hindrance to his work, goes up to Galilee. Unlike his Jew­ ish brethren, who detoured around the land of the hated “half-breed” Samaritans, -he “must needs go through Samaria,” for there was a sin-side soul that needed him. Space will, not permit a full con­ sideration of all the beauty and the depth of spiritual truth found in this story. I. A Sinner Tactfully Approaehed (w . 7-15). Every Christian is by his very calling a soul-winner. We dare not delegate this responsibility to the pastor or missionary. As soul-win- ners we are vitally interested in our Lord’s approach to this woman who was far from God, apparently hopelessly involved in sinful associ­ ations, a citizen of a hostile nation and an adherent of another reli­ gious faith. By asking a favor of her he tact­ fully placed himself (as does any petitioner) for the moment, on her own plane. He was not a distant, learned religious leader deigning to cast a bit of religious philosophy to her. He was a tired, thirsty man asking for a drink of water. But he was morel He was the gracious Son of God, ready to give fiie water of life. If. A Moral Problem Faced (w . 16-18). One may speak knowingly of the promises of God’s Word, and may understand the “way of salvation,” but one will never find peace and joy until there is a frank and open facing of sin in the life. Let us make no mistake at this point, for the moral law of God is the same now as it was on that far-off day when Jesus brought the woman of Samaria face to face with her own sin. III. A Theological Problem Solved (w . 19-24). Possibly in an effort to evade her moral problem by theological dis­ cussion (a tommon practice in our day, tool), and partly because of her ignorance of true worship, she asks a question about a controver­ sial matter relating to outward cer­ emony. Is it not a singular thing how men who know nothing of spir­ itual life delight in the propagation and defense of organizations, and in the conduct of outward religious ex­ ercises? True worship is revealed (v. 23) as being (I) “In spirit.” We do not cast aside all external helps to worship, but real worship goes through and beyond both place and' symbol to real soul-communion with God (2) “In truth.” Sham, super­ stition, hypocrisy, have no place in true worship. We can worship in truth only when we really know the truth. MacLaren rightly said, “The God to whom men attain by any other path than his historical revelation of himself is a dim, color­ less abstraction, a peradventure, an object of fear or hope, as may be, but not of knowledge.” Truly spoke Jesus — “We know what we wor­ ship” (v. 22). IV. The Messiah Declared (w. 25, 26;.Jesus honors this poor fallen woman by making to her his first declaration of himself as the Mes­ siah. He is the high and exalted one, but he is at the same time the friend of sinners. To the learned ruler of the Jews, Nicodemus1 he spoke of the new birth. To the poor woman of Samaria he declares his Messiahship. And she forthright left her water pot and went to bring others to him. Height of Oor Destiny It is from out of the depths of our humility Kiat the height of our des­ tiny looks grandest. Let me truly feel that in myself I am nothing, and at once, through every inlet of my soul, God comes in, and is ev­ erything in me.—W. Mountford. . Love and Fears Tbe warm loves and fears, that swept over us as clouds, must lose their finite character and blend with God, to Attain their own perfection. —Emerson. ' Simple, Practical Frocks; L W HERE, oh where is the feminine wardrobe t h a t wouldn’t take on momentum through the addition of'just these three simple, wearable frocks? Surely like the Model T, it would be hard to find. And the thrilling thing — the important feature — is that these frocks are planned and patterned exclusively for the modern woman who sews—for you, a member of The Sewing Circle. ..Pattern 1914 is a house dress with a future. It is young and practical. The new notched col­ lar, ending as it does in twin scallops below the yoke line, gives the waist front balance and brightness. The bodice is slightly fulled to make this, a comfortable style to work in as well as one that is attractive to look at. The skirt is slim lined and simple— as you would have it. Use dimity, .dotted swiss or gingham for this number. Designed for sizes: 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 3% yards of 35 inch material. Pattern 1989 is the polite young model caught with its back this way, perhaps the better to show off the beautiful shoulders and chicest - of - chic descending lines. You'll run-up this frock in short order but you’ll wear it endlessly aid with that happy confidence which only a style with distinc­ tion can give. Make it of rasp­ berry wool crepe and trim the collar, cuffs and hem with royal blue. Pattern 1989 comes in sizes 14, 16, 18 and 20 (32 to 42 bust). Size 16 requires 3 yards of 54 inch material with 5 yards of braid for trimming. Pattern 1206 is a most attractive newcomer to the blouse ’n’ skirt category. An alliance of this sort wrings glamour and romance to '.he gay wearer. Gold or silver metallic cloth, or, perhaps shim­ mering satin for the blouse, with i skirt of velvet will make a mil­ lion dollar outfit. Make it yours in i couple of hours. It is available U ncle P k tfQ That Little Difference It is just the little difference-be- iween the good and the best that makes the difference between art­ ists and the artisan. Duties are tasks the perform­ ance of which you look forward to with distaste, but once performed, rejoice in forever after.

Bvery man in Mocksville stands a chance to be President, but as we are very busy, we will sell our chance for 30 cents, cash in front. We want all those who are owing ns on subscription to come in and settle up, so we can start the new year owing no man. Mocksville needs more factories, such as sash and blind, spoke and handle, picker stick, woolen and hosiery mills. Who will be the first man to help secure a new fac tory for our town? There are New Deal papers, Re publican papers, labor, socialist and religious papers, but so far as we know there are but few democratic papers left in the country since Harry Hopkins and Jim Farley took over the govsrnment Senator Bob Reynolds writes us that he wants, to furnish us a week­ ly letter teiling us what Congress is doing. We wonder just how much space it would 7 require to print all the things the New Deal ers are doing and trying to do. President Roosevelt says be wants to reduce government spending and balance the budget. A big bunch of lawmakers seem to want to in­ crease the spending, and don’t give a darn whether the budget is ever balanced. Such is life in the na tion’s capitol. Now is said to be the time for all men to come to the aid of their party, provided they can find the said party. With the New Deal in charge of the government it seems that the democratic party is dead and the Republican party has suf­ fered a nervous breakdown. Don’t waste postage by sending us a bill.

The people have voted twice on this question within the past thirty years,- and have voted dry on both occasions. It is up to the-present session of the North Carolina legis lature to do something about the liquor question. There, are 17 counties in the state that have the power to sell liquor, while the other 8 3 counties are legally dry. The entire state should have a uniform law. The.Record is in favor of chasing liquor out of the state, and hope that the people will be allow ed to vote on this question. Col. Murchison May LocateIn Piedmont Section Soon.

He and Mrs. Murchison are traveling in the automobile to which is attached a trailer in which they spend their nights. Colonel Murchison is a native of Davie countv and on Saturday he and Mrs Murchison motored to Mocksville. During conversations with friends while here, Co). Mur­ chison stated that he would retire from army service in March next, and that he is considering the mat­ ter of locating somewhere in this section. “ During our younger days we did mighty little traveling far away from the old homestead, but when one grows older there is generally a desire to get back to the old homestead, or near, where you were born and reared,” declared the colonel. He also was quoted as saying that he had beeu away from North Carolina so’ong that he rare­ ly ever met up with those be knew during his boyhood and young man­ hood. During bis long service in the army, CoI Murchisonhas visited all parts of the world. He has spent many months in most of the foreign countries. The colonel has one son who is a studeut at the University of North Carolina Thursday he took a younger son to Virginia and entered him as a student in a military col lege.

The home agent and the 4-H girls in the countv feel very grateful to the simplicity pattern company for the 200 patterns given them to distribute among the girls for this project. After studying various seams, cutting and joining bias, fitted facings, as well as a study of placing and cutting by commercial patterns, this project seemed just the thing to apply, in a most interesting way, all the knowledge gained from the different problems studied. After the project was completed ai doll style show was held in the schools. The dolls were very at­ tractive in their well constructed out­ fits of various colors and materials. This simple project, was prerequi­ site a more difficult one. The 4-H girls are now planning a county wide fashion show in which they will ap­ pear in an outfit which they have constructed for themselves. They beginning this project with a study of color and line suited to the differ ent types and figures.

Wy1^aylor1 Extension Swine Specialist frbm StatelCollege, gave a short talKidnd showed four reels of moving pictures on the worms at­ tacking swine, how to control these worms and the care and manage­ ment of swine. About 100 farmers attended. The main points brought out by the show and talk were the import­ ance of keeping hogs free from all typi 8 of worms throughout life and how this may be done. Tne most ommon worms attacking swine are thorn worms, round worms, stomach worms and liver worms, and liver worms. The chief carriers of these parfi&tic worms are the com­ mon white'grub, fishing worm and dung beetle.. Ail hogs relish these carriers and eat them readily when found, thus becoming infested if they are in a place where hogs have b'een kept since the land was culti­ vated. Pigs that become infested with any of the various types of worms never make a thrifty, econo­ mical growth. If hog growers will follow a few simple but important rules, such as have pigs farrowed on clean culti­ vated land, provide clean house with fresh litter; keep hogs on clean, . . . j As the dock and geese season dos-lations together may be pleasant, ^ Dec> ^ th and the6quirrel Beason and that peace, prosperity and a dised Jan. 15th. take due m.ticejfrepb, well drained pasture'always, bundance may envelop us and that tbereofand govern yourself accord- and never bring worm infested bogs ,. , . ingly.

He said at least 35,000 farmers in the drouth area and from 10,000 to 15,000 outside the drouth districts were in need of aid. In addition, he said, between 30,000 and 40,000 fanners would need gov­ ernment aid in purchasing seed for the 1937 crop. President Laredo Bru tp EDERICO LAREDO BRU, the I new president of Cuba, proposes to settle all Cuban obligations in the United States and is expected soon to in­ vite the bankers and bondholders con­ cerned to enter negotiations to that end. Credit for in­ ducing Bru to do this is given to Col. FuIgencio Batista, who appears to be largely in control of affairs in the island. The obligations include about $75,- 000,000 owed to many Americans who invested in public work gold bonds which were issued during the administration of President Gerar­ do Machado. The new constitution which the Cuban congress recently voted orig­ inally prohibited any such negotia­tions as those contemplated before 1940, but when it appeared in the of­ficial gazette that article had been radically altered. It now orders the government to find a satisfactory way to settle all debts to the United States before 1940 and authorizes the president to open negotiations immediately. This “error” in the gazette’s com­ posing room is supposed to have been ordered by Colonel Batista, and though congress has the power to correct it, a majority of con­ gressmen, after reading the arti­cle in the gazette, gave it their approval. ' So President Bru, it seems, is free to go ahead with the negotiations. Elim in a tio n of child labor, long working hours and starva­ tion wages is a necessity, and must be carried out by the federal gov- wnment since it cannot be done by state action. So declared President Roosevelt in his press conference. He warned the correspondents not to say he was planning to revive the NRA and insisted all he coijld say at present was that something should bp done to fix maximum hours and minimum wages. Since the day of the NRA, said Mr. Roosevelt,. there has been a steady decline in child labor, gruel­ ing hours and starvation wages by 90 per cent of American business. As for the other 10 per cent, he said, they were still failing to live up to the best standards since the death of the NRA. Attorneys for the American Fed­ eration of Labor were reported to be about ready to submit to the President a bill designed to restore labor protective features lost in the death of NRA. It provides that congress catalogue unfair ‘'con­ duct” which would be forbidden to employers and assure workers adequate protection. Violations would be punishable by a fine. The federation is expected also to back federal licensing of interstate cor­ porations as provided by the O’Ma- 'honey bill. T OM BERRY, before retiring from the governorship of South 'Dakota, appointed Herbert Hitch­ cock of Mitchell, S. D., to fill out the term of the late Senator Peter Norbeck. The new senator is Demo­ cratic state chairman and his ap­ pointment brings the Democratic membership in the senate to 76, the highest party total in history. The Republicans now number 16. Mt. Hitchcock was born in Ma- quoketa, Ia.; in 1867 and was edu­cated at Anamosat Davenport and Chicago. He went to Mitchell in 1894 and was admitted to the bar two years later. He was presi­ dent of the school board in his home town for ten years and state’s at­ torney four years. He served as state senator in 1909, 1911, and 1929. A S "NEBRASKA’S unicameral legislature, unique in the Unit­ ed States, was about to begin its first session, Gov. R'. L. Cochran de­ clared politics was out. He dis­ couraged party caucuses among the members and said he would have no spokesman in the legislature. The governor pointed out that the constitution provides that the one- house chamber shall be non-parti- san and that the voters had% done their part by electing, on a nonpoli­ tical ticket, 22 Democrats and 21 Republicans. He said he would con­ tinue personally and as governor, all measures for new forms o! tax­ ation. FINANCIAL status of American farmers may be much improved, as reports of governmental agen­ cies say, but some of them still ap­ pear to. need, a lot of help. Sena­ tor F. Ryan Duffy of Wisconsin asked federal officials to allot $10,- 600,000 to aid the Wisconsin farm­ers who are suffering from the ef­ fects of the drouth.“This would be $200 per farm,” ' he said, “and considering the high price of hay and after items of feed, it would be difficult to make a smaller sum cover the. needs which /^1OVERNMENT officials, from ^ the President down, were anx­ ious to prevent the export of Amer­ ican airplanes to Spain, license for which was given perforce by the State department to Robert Cuse, a Jersey City airplane broker. Cuse proposes to send $2,777,000 worth of planes to the Spanish loyalists, and his action was criticized in Washington as “legal but unpatri­otic.” Senator Key Pittman of Ne­ vada, chairman of the foreign rela­ tions committee, assailed the Cuse deal as improper and dangerous and said it might embarrass not only the United States but also other nations in their efforts to enforce the hands off policy toward the Spanish war. Congress may be able to rush through prohibitive legislation 'before the planes are shipped. Meantime pressure was being brought to bear on Cuse to cancel the deal. WHEN the German steamer Palos was captured by Span­ ish loyalists at BUbao because it carried war munitions supposedly destined for the Franco forces, the Berlin government demanded its release under threat of reprisal. Ilie Basque authorities, when the German cruiser, Koenigsberg, ar­ rived at Bilbao, let the Palos go, but held on to the cargo and to one Spanish citizen who was a passen­ ger. This did not satisfy the com­ mander of the cruiser who insisted the cargo and the Spaniard must be released. The authorities defi­ antly refused this, and several more German warships were ordered to the Bilbao sector. There was a report in Berlin that Hitler had been advised by Mus­ solini to withdraw as gracefully as possible from the Spanish embrog- lio, and that H Duce himself had decided to cease supporting Franco and the insurgents. It was believed Hitler would avoid war measures in this crisis, and both Great Britain and France were hopeful that he would preserve peace because they hare offered to help his economic and colonial needs in return for nonintervention in the Spanish conflict.

A RTHUR BRISBANE, one of the foremost newspaper editors and writers of the time, and the highest paid, died in his New York residence of coronary thrombosis at the age of seventy-two. The mil­ lions of Americans who have read faithfully his columns, “Today” and “This Week,” mourn .his passing. An indefatigable, able and often brilliant worker, he continued his journalistic labors almost to the hour of his death. Born in Buffalo, N. Y, Mr. Bris­ bane at eighteen joined the staff of the New York Sun as a reporter. Shortly after he .went to Europe for five years to complete his educa­ tion and became the London corre­ spondent of the Sun. From that time he advanced steadily in the profession. For the last 39 years he was employed by William R. Hearst. He had been ill for some time but characteristically con­ cealed his condition from all but members of his family and died in the harness, as he would have wished to do. CILENT for two years, Mahatma Gandhi once more comes into public notice with a speech tending to increase the opposition to British rule in India. He spoke at an ,indus­ trial exposition held in connection with the annual session of the All-India Na­ tional congress, the members of which were already agitat­ ing in favor of inde­ pendence. Said the “holy man” : “Show me th e way. I am prepared to go back to jail again. I am prepared to be hanged. “If you do all I want you to do, Lord Linlithgow (British high com­ missioner for India) will say, ‘I am wrong. I thought you people were terrorists, and, if you like, we Britishers will go back on the next steamer.’ We would then say to Linlithgow and the British, ‘India is big enough to hold you and more like you.’ “That is my swaraj (self-govern­ ment under native influence).” Jawaharlal Nehru, in his presi­dential address to the congress, warned the British his countrymen would not be “parties to an imperi­ alist war.” A NOTHER big air liner, the third * * to meet disaster in a month, crashed against the top of Oak mountain, twenty miles from Bur- . Mahatma. Gandhi Washington Digest JuigesT National Topics Interpreted lii By W ILLIAM DDII^ ADT, W E NATIONAL PRESS 61DG. W'aSHING'ON O C issS Washington.—The Capital city has returned to normalcy. It is not the _ , normalcy of Janu-Bach to ary, 1935', or the Normalcy years immediately preceding, but the normalcy of the year in which that quadrennial spectacle, an inaugu­ ration of a President, takes place. But Washington’s normalcy is a con­ dition that comes in cycles and it matters not how the wheel of life turns, those who are resident here get used to it and of necessity they take the condition in regular stride. That sounds like Washington resi­ dents are blase. And they are to a greater extent than residents of most cities. But paradoxical as it may seem, native Washingtonians and a certain percentage of those in the political field become so ex­ cited that they lose all sense of pro­ portion on occasions such as an in­ auguration ceremony. The answer seems to be personal vanity—a de­sire to be “out in front” and to "show off” by having important places in parades and having their names and pictures in the newspa­pers. But ihere is another side of this Washington normalcy. It is the side of the political powers who have little concern about the District of Columbia as such or what goes on Uierein unless those affairs strength­ en the position these political pow­ ers hold among their constituencies “back home.” Hence, under the dome of the great Capitol building, there is all the activity of a bee hive. The old timers among the legislators have learned to proceed with cau­ tion and to develop their plans slow­ ly, but the newer members of the house and senate are all agog, each one with his own pet idea for saving the nation; each one with a varying conviction about his own . im­ portance as a member of the na­ tional legislature, and each one de­ termined not to overlook a single opportunity to show the folks back home that their representative or their senator has become a national figure. . Then through the corridors, the halls, committee rooms and offices there are the hurrying feet of news­ paper correspondents, representa­ tives of this interest or that, mes­ sengers and lowly members of the Capitol’s vast staff of carpenters, cleaners and chore workers. They are, of course, important only as they make the Capitol habitable but they are an inescapable part of the picture—of Washington normalcy.• • • “Downtown” Washington has an­other picture. In the executive de­ partments, in the bureaus, commis- iions and agen- hich Ier in- of Ins, Iect tew tion :on- «ne ief of ieir ich iot ier- Ion- >g A ll ls They must have diversion. Fre­ quently this diversion serves use- ful purposes for the country as a whole because through personal contact those charged with responsi­bility many times gain information, understanding, of the problems with which they must deal in offi­ cial positions. And so it is that,- as Washington returns to normalcy, we have a congress — the seventy-fifth — be­ ginning its labors with perhaps a confusion as great as any in recent years with the exception of that which opened the first term of the Roosevelt administration. In my own mind, I doiibt that the confu­sion of 1933 was as great as it is now because in that period of emer­ gency, the important wheelhorses of government were concerned with only one thing, namely, quick en­ actment of policies that would help in bringing order out of the eco­ nomic chaos in which we found our­ selves. The current congress gets down to work, however, in a different at­ mosphere. Agencies of the govern­ ment time after time have held lately that the emergency is over; that policies considered now must be considered on a permanent basis and that if there is to be a new or­der, the make-up, the consistency, of that new order must be exam­ ined with the idea of fitting the various pieces into a compact and workable whole.. * * • It is in this atmosphere, there­ fore, and under the circumstances of an overwhelm- T tm e to ing landslide of Take Stock votes by which President Roose­ velt was returned to office that the administration must take stock of what has happened in the last four years and must analyze the pros­ pects as far as the future discloses them. Probably the most serious long range problem confronting the coun­ try involves the relationship of gov­ernment and business. For weeks, I have sought, information and views of individuals concerning the real crux of this problem because it has so many different phases. From all of this research I am inclined to the opinion that the fundamental ques­tion to be answered is that peril that faces the portion of our people that have passed the age of forty- five. It may seem like a broad state­ ment to pin down the relationship of government to business to that one question of what to do with work­ ers above forty-five but I verily be­ lieve that is the crux. It will have to be treated briefly in these columns but nevertheless it seems to me that all of the grow­ing howl about “social security” centers on this one point. It cen­ ters there because politicians and starry-eyed wishers have made so much noise about the government looking after the aged that a natural reaction has taken place in indus^ try and, in consequence, there is a growing disinclination among em­ ployers to take, on workers past forty-five.Under the whip of competition and in an effort to offset the costs of the present social security pro­gram, manufacturers everywhere have been looking for methods by which they can substitute machines for human workers. Where that was impossible,’ they have turned to younger workers so that the in­ crease in protection per worker, ac­ cording to the best calculations, is not all due to the use of machinery.’ Greater efficiency has come from the employment of people able to go at high speed throughout the working period.This development has been in progress in the manufacturing in­ dustries for at least 20 years but it has received its greatest impetus in the last three or four years since it became evident that the federal government was going to force upon commerce and industry protection for the older employees Federal Reserve board figures re­ veal that 16 years ago, nearly 70 per cent of all gainfuly employed workers were in the basic indust tries while 30 per cent were em­ ployed in the professions and serv­ ice groups mentioned above. Five years ago, 60 per cent were in the basic industries and 40 per cent in the professions and service indus­tries while at the beginning of 1936, about 57 per cent were in basic industries and the professions and service groups embraced about 43 per cent. From this it will be seen that an enormous transformation has been taking place in the type of work that people do. It represents, of course, changes in our national life, prac­ tices and traditions but who is there to say when and where this trend will halt. Equally, what government authority can be able to say that social security laws enacted now will be applicable and'Workable by the time the Roosevelt administra­ tion ends? .C Western Newspaper Unlaa.

ST A R D U ST I Claudette I Colbert ovie • Hadio * JkiMrBj VIRGINIA VALE*** OF COURSE you’ve seen Sid Silvers, and laughed at !him, in many a movie; now you’re going to hear him on the air with Al Jolson, whom you’ve also seen in pictures, but not recently. ! Silvers is something new under the sun. He writes the very funny lines he speaks; that is, he makes them up, but he doesn’t put tliam down on paper. He just says them. Somebody else takes them down. And if he gets a very funny idea during the final filming of a scene, in it goes and the scene is done over again. But what havoc that will cre­ ate if he forgets himself and does it on the air, since radio scripts have to be written and re-written, and then approved. I Now it’s Claudette Colbert and her husband who are going to adopt a baby from that famous orphanage in Chicago. Irene Dunne and her hus­band were the latest couple to do it—and Irene, worse luck, had such a bad cold during the first few days of the little girl's presence in her new home that sho couldn’t go near the infant. Meanwhile Claudette has been given the lead in the screen version of “Tovarich,” the successful stage play; she should be grand in it. I Claire Luce, who was Fred 'Astaire’s first dancing partner after his sister deserted him for matri­ mony, is in Hollywood, with yearn­ ings to become a motion picture actress; On the stage she got along beautifully with the nimble Fred, but she’s not making tests for RKO, so apparently she isn’t being con­ sidered for his partner on the screen. Practically everyone else has been, apparently! The blonde Miss Luce has a Iife- ■ time on the stage behind her—that is, she has her lifetime, as she started at the age of four. She was one of the six or eight chorus girls in the musical show in which Mir­ iam Hopkins and various other, cel­ ebrities were also chorus girls—and what tales they all tell about each other in private!—ft— It looks as if lames Cagney would break out again—not in a fight with a motion picture company this time, but in a new venture. He is talking of reviving the theater in small towns, so yon may see him in per­son before long. It is said that Robert Montgomery and Pat O’Brien may appear with him, as well as his brother Bill. Meanwhile his first picture for Grand National, is completed at last. —ft— I How do you like the idea of a picture with Robert Taylor, Spencer lkacy and James Stewart in it? The picture will be “Three Comrades,” and the author is the man who wrote “Journey’s End,” so the story ought to be good. Once upon a time studio executives would have screamed at the idea of putting three such players in one picture, but nowadays the big companies plan to give us as much for our money as they can. —f '■ Have you been missing “Minnie Mouse” from the .screen? If you have, don’t worry— she’ll return. You see, her voice—that is, the young woman who plays “Minnie’s voice — got married and went off on a \ honeymoon.\ Beingthevoicefor one of Walt Disney’s popular characters is a pretty good job —and it means a contract for the actual owner of the voice, too, because the public is so familiar with the EOimds that Mickey and his co-play­ ers make.Maybe some day we’ll see that Disney feature-length picture that has been talked about for so long, “Snow White an d the Seven Dwarfs.” —^ * ODDS AND ENDS . • • Ever since he finished uThe Cay Desperado” IVino Martini has been traveling around,' giv­ing concerts, and flying east each Wednesday for his broadcast—so im­agine how thankful he is that the opera season has started in New York, keep­ ing him home for the winter .. .

Jazz Music M'T'HE music goes down around * whoa - ho - ho - ho -----.” That tune swept America from coast to coast recently until its very sound made radio listeners grind their teeth. It also marked the return to popularity of “swing” music. “Swing” or real jazz reached its first peak during the 1920’s along with short skirts and flappers. Whether it originated among the natives along the gold coast of Af­ rica, or in colored orchestras along the gold coast of our larger cities, is still a matter of dispute. At any rate, the- first Dlack hero of jazz was Louis Armstrong, who created a sensation in Chicago with his wild trumpet solos of such pieces as “Struttin’ with Some Barbecue,” “Gully Low Blues,” and “A Monday Date.” His early records are still as highly prized by jazz lovers as a Beethoven symphony. After Armstrong came many other famous swing bands like Jean Goldkette’s and Eitnk Trum- bauer’s. But the popularity of jazz began to crumble about 1929 with the stock market. Maybe it is as­ sociate.! with business prosperity. The beginning of its comeback dates from the winter of 1935, when “The Music Goes Round and Round” ran riot through the nation.In spite of the fact that jazz has become an American byword, no one seems to know exactly what the word means. Greater Than Napoleon XTAPOLEON BONAPARTE was * ’ probably responsible for the de­ struction of more human lives than any other man. During the Napole­ onic wars and those that followed it, five or six million people were killed. Napoleon is well known to every school boy. Yet a man ./ho saved many more lives than Napoleon lost is known only to the small group of people who have read the history of medicine. That man is Edward Jenner, the discoverer of smallpox vaccination. As a young country doctor, Jenner noticed that dairymaids who con­ tracted cowpox from the cows they milked seldom fell ill with small­pox. Cowpox produces sores on the skin mfich like those of smallpox, except that the disease is very mild. From this, Jenner got the idea of vaccinating people with cowpox serum to prevent them from having smallpox. He tried it out on his countiy practice, and found that none of his patients contracted smallpox after­ wards, even when they were in­ oculated with smallpox germs. When he finally announced his great dis­ covery to the world in 1798, a few people received it with great ac­ claim. But many more -iPposed it violently, saying that smallpox was a visitation from God as a retri­bution for the sins of man. Napoleon used the vaccine on his soldiers, as did a few other far- seeing people, but it has taken weH over a hundred years for the prin­ ciple of vaccination to become gen­ erally accepted. The Social Register THE most exclusive group h> New York’s high society suppos­edly contains only 400 members. That is a tradition which has come down to us from the days when Mrs. William Astor was the reigning so­ ciety matron of the city. She lim­ ited her inner circle to 400 because that was all her ballroom would comfortably hold! The golden age of conspicuous display in American society was during the gay nineties. Those were the days when hostesses tried' to outdo each other in the lavishness of the parties they. gave. Stories are still told of how guests some­ times -smoked cigarettes rolled in $100 bills and ate oysters on the half-shell, each containing a mag­ nificent black pearl. At one fancy-dress ball, Mr. Bel­ mont is said to have worn a suit of gold-inlaid armor made specially for the occasion that cost $10,000. A daughter of one Croesus was sup­ posed to own a dressing table worth $65,000 and a pair of bejewelled opera glasses valued at $75,000. The nouveau-riche of America tried to ape all the mannerisms of foreign millionaires, even to such things as fox-hunting. The golden age was extravagant and wasteful, but it was one of the most colorful in our nation’s history. Hie Bull Frog A large, warty body with a broad head, large prominent eyes and ears, and long, fully-webbed toes are some of the characteristics by which the bullfrog may be distin­ guished. In color it is greenish brown above, sometimes marbled with blade, and yellowish white be­neath, usually marbled with brown. This is a decidedly aquatic species, being found during the summer in large ponds or lakes with muddy bottoms. It is the loudest of an of our frogs in vocal, achievements, its croaking having sometimes been likened to the bellowing.of • bull, according to Helen; Loomis in the Detroit News. Glamorous Is the New Lingerie By CHERIE NICHOLAS IJkOR the fair sex nothing so strikes 1 the right note as beautiful lin­gerie. Seeing lovely “undies,” and coveting, is akin to that feeling one has in a garden of flowers, to add another and yet another to one’s bouquet plucked from among na­ture’s loveliest. Just so does the eternal feminine in us keep longing for one more and one more of the delectably colorful lace - trimmed silken nighties, slips, pantie sets, negligees, cunning bed-jackets and others such as designers are this season placing before the enrap­tured eyes of beauty-seeking wom­ ankind. Even so, the esthetic viewpoint is but half the story, for there is a practical side to the question that those skilled in the art of dress keep ever in mind, namely, a cos­tume to be fashion-correct and of comely appearance must build from the foundation up. Wherefore, it is as important to have a wardrobe of lingerie as of outer apparel. Which is why creators of modern lingerie are devoting so much of time and talent, thought and study to the fashioning of under garments that because of their perfection of lines and subtle fit, act as “first-aid” toward the charm and style-right- ness of one’s costume. The nightgowns this season are nothing if not glamorous. Rich fab­ rics and colors, beautiful finishe's and elaborate lace trimmings mark them with distinction. Mostly they are satin, but you do see some of crepe and silk ninon and georgette. Slips, too, are reflecting the- in­ terest in the, daintier garments and gone are the utterly tailored effects. They are carefully fitted of course.and even when they are not elaborately lace-trimmed as so many are, they still have details of lace and net trimmings, of tiny edgings of val lace to appeal to the well-groomed lady. There are all manner of negli­ gees and hostess gowns. The satin ones, lavish .with lace, are easily the most popular this season. Bed jackets of all shapes and types are more fascinating than ever. Some are made in cape design and tie loosely in front. The model shown in the center inset is of allover lace with wide satin border front. In a way this charming tittle cape- bed-jacket might be classed with the so called lingerie accessories which Paris designers are advo­ cating this season. Such, for in­ stance, is the "bib” to be worn over night dresses. It is a grand gift item for a convalescent or in­ valid. It’s a frilly lace front piece to slip on at a moment’s notice over the “nightie.” The one pic­tured in the upper inset is done in. circular ruffles of lace with ribbon ties about the throat. It is said that it is becoming quite a fad to make your own lingerie ac­cessories. Describing the lovely gowns pic­ tured, the one to the left is of shell- pink satin with deep apptiqued yoke of Alencou lace in the new light ecru shade which is so good this season. The lovely skirt edge, with its lace slit up the front, features the new trend toward fine details. Soft yellow is used for the in­ teresting nightdress on the seated figure with its diagonal neckline and one-side shoulder strap. The lace motifs applied are carried out also in the matching slip and panties which form fob perfect ensemble. © Westera Newspaper Union. CHANTILLY DRESS B j CHEBlB NICHOLAS Nothing is so flattering, so “new” for dressing up in the' afternoon and going on for the evening date as the simple, painstakingly tailored dress of black Chantilly. Thisdress has the street-length skirt which is so much more popular this year than the cocktail dresses , of other seasons. It is especially youthful in design,, but is as good for the youug matron as for the college girL Note the little flared pockets which add to the tailored effect. SILKS FOR SPRING STRESS HIGH COLOR Edward Molyneux, style author­ ity, predicts a riot of color for spring. In monotones as in prints, color is the watchword; A wide range of blue tones is being accented in spring silks. Misty blues and strong purple- blues are new, and the middle tones of blue also register. Purple is new­ ly accented. The capucine range is an impor­ tant one, highlighting glowing yel­ low • orange and pumpkin tones. Henna and horsechestnut rank high, with the former striking a new note for evening. A hint of ashes-of-roses overlays foe copper range as it is interpreted for resort and spring 1937. Brjownish gold is another im­portant tone to watch. Beige and other neutral tones are expected to prove important, as a contrast to foe vivid color ranges. The red range ranks high. Cherry red, cerise, ashes-of-roses, mauve pink and pale mauve red are lead­ ing tones. A wide range of green tones in­ cludes bright yellow green, tur­ quoise green, reseda green and strong hues. Ten New Hosiery Shades Offered for Next Spring Ten new hosiery shades for next spring are shown in the ad­ vance hosiery color card just re­leased by the Textile Color Card association to its members. The ten colors are: Glamour, a sparkling golden tone; carib, a cop­pery hue with a rosy glow; cubatan, a new “leather” type of tan; Dal­ matia, a radiant copper; plaza beige* a warm tight beige; swanky, -a subtle medium beige; swanky, a dark beige; noonday, a subdued grey­ ish beige; avenue, a medium neu­ tral beige, and moondusk, a me­dium grey of taupe cast.

Later they rode horses, mules, donkeys, camels and elephants. The first to use the chariot, were the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Solomon had . many . magnificent chariots, most of which were imported from Egypt. On Alexander the Great’s re­ turn from India, he rode in a chariot drawn by eight horses. When Nero traveled, he took with him no less than 1,000 carriages. Emperor Haile Selassie had a private railroad train painted white and gold. Ring Louis XVIl of France The French prince who is re­garded by French Royalists as King Lotus XVIl was the second son of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoin­ ette. He was born at Versailles, March 27, 1783, became the dauphin on the death of his elder brother June 4, 1789, and became King of France on the execution of his fath­ er, January 21, 1793. The exact man­ ner in which Louis met his death is uncertain, but he- is believed to have died in prison at the age of ten. Famous for GlasswareIn Roman times the Near East, particularly Syria and Egypt, was famous for its glassware. In the Seventh century A. D. the Arab in­ vasion of the Eastern Roman em­ pire .brought the eastern techniques with it. The greatest era of Moham­ medan glass had its rise in tha Twelfth century, when glass with enameled and gilded decoration be­ gan to be manufactured for the use of the court and for mosques. There are numerous examples of these pieces in the Metropolitan exhibi­ tion, displaying most extraordinary perfection of color, gilding and en­ ameling. Zero Stone in WasIungton The Zero Stone in Washington takes the place of the itinerary col­ umn planned by L’Enfant for a place one mile east of the Capitol, from which all distances of places throughout the continent were to be calculated. The column was nev­ er built. The Zero Stone is immedi­ately south of the White House grounds and is a block of granite four feet high, with a bronze com­ pass design on top. It stands on the meridian of the District of Colum­ bia. World’s First Street Car The world’s first street car, drawn by a team of horses, passed along the streets of New York city in 1832. About thirty years later the first street railway in Europe was built at Birkenhead, England, by Ameri­ can engineers. These first street cars were simply coaches pulled by horses over a flat rail. The improve­ ment over wagons or coaches puUed over rough and sometimes almost impassable streets was immediate­ ly apparent. On these rails the coaches could travel much faster and with much heavier loads. Majority Not Needed A candidate does not need receive a majority of votes to be- elected, President.

An Indictmeiit of Liquor Laws. Charles Ruffin, in The State. I understand that The State hears both sides. In your valuabe paper of January a, 1937 , you have an eiitorial “ What to do about Li quor.” May I say: Wipe it out! My reasons: It debauches every thing it touches. Carteret Countv is to pay $5 0 .0 0 (by what author ityO.to have a lobbyist in Raleigh to keep liquor profits in wet coun ties; Dr. Bonner resigns on account of dispute with ABC Store Board— so it goes. In a recent newspaper report at the hearing in Asheville before the State Liquor Commission, several hotel men appeared before the Com­ mission. Richard P. Tufts, one of the Pinehurst hotel operators had this to say: “The Pinehurst hotels are now operating under a law which, for the first time, has a prob­ lem in hand that has kept hotel men awake nights.” ’ Tufts told that to the Commission in commending the Pasquotank law. In the Moore County News of May 2 8, 1936 , is the following: “ A bombshell was exploded at a public meeting of the Pinehurst Chamber of Commerce Thursday evening when F. H. Xrebs of New York City, a property owner and winter resident of the community, openly charged that liquor was being il­ legally sold and that gambling was being permitted in Pinehurst. . . . “Take this last winter': What have you had in Pinehurst? Liquor sell­ ing at the Carolina Hotel. You have liquor selling at the Country Club. Gambling at the Carolina Hotel; I will give you the list and if anyone doubts it he can see for him. self. . . . There is a place in Pine hurst where liquor may be purchas ed legally and there is no excuse for illegal liquoi selling.. . . You can’t build a resort for decent people based on liquor and gambling. You have got your, liquor store there and if anybody wants to buy it they can buy it legally and why should ft be sold illegally in this place?” Thus we see that with the liquor store at Pinehurst the hotels are drenched with “blind tiger” liquor and gambling as described by Mr. Krebs. Shall the hotels have a special privilege? The most in­ iquitous, lawless, thing ever done in North Carolina was the establish­ ment of the liquor stores in Pine­ hurst and Southern Pines. The county of Wilson is running these stores and getting the profits. Itis unthinkable among a law-abiding citizenship. According to reports the Wilson County sheriff was re­ moved recently for drunkenness, and a drunken driver in that county nearly killed Congressman Kerr. There is;but'one solution: Wipe it all out, as we have done the slot machines,' either by legislative en­ actment or Statewide feferendum, and then enforce the law and teach the danger as we have started to do, of this habit forming drug, in the schools. In this State we ■ practically de­ stroyed malaria by cleaning up the breeding places of. the anopheles mosquito. Shall the tail wag the dog? The 17 counties that have the ABC Stores bave sold about $3,000,- 000 in liquor. The counties get about 25 per cent $750 ,0 00; the State gets J per cent sales tax —$90,- 000. The balance goes to foreign beer barons and -liquor dealers— Ecpnpniic folly, and then also, con- sidenthe human wreckage: caused that Ihe- Stite- has to carry I These bnce prouct counties are now little fvassels and; agencies for the foreign IiqAor dealers. The high-powered beer and wine saloons are running day and night and Sundays, too, in the State, selling to men, women and children. We have had in a little over a year 7 ,8 5 7 drunker drivers that have been-caught. Re* cently in Raleigh a woman’s licensc was taken away—drunk on high powered beer; and in Gaston Countyi an ale drunken man butchered Uf his wife. Everywhere we find thfc high-powered beer and wine makinp drunkards and murderers. vIf thf people do not wake, up, this Statt will be as bloody as in times of war. Keep vour eye on those ‘ 'higher up’' who during the last General Assem bly were paid thousands and th'ous ands of dollars to lobby for high powered beer. Stop this unethical conduct. On November 20, in Franklic County, a 250 gallon copper still was captured and 5,000 gallons ol beer destroyed. In Wilson Count} on November 21, officers captured 200 gallons of corn whiskey. These are ABC counties. North Caro linians bave never been cowards— wipe u all out and clean up the State. We are not weaklings. Drunkenness has increased enor­ mously in North Carolina since the ABC Stores, high-powered beer and wine caches have opened up. This is a democracy—the consent of the governed. This State in a statewide referendum on May 28, 1908, voted agianst the manufac­ ture and sale of intoxicating liquor by a majority of 4 4,1 9 6 and on November 7 , 1933, against repeal by a majority of 196 ,436. We ap­ peal to the General Assembly to wipe out these liquor traps or put this matter of the sale of intoxicat­ ing liquors to a vote of the people of the whole State. This and this only will bring peace—the rule of the people in a fair referendum, a free ballot and fair count. To your tents, Oh Israel! The Supreme Court. According to stories in the news­ papers, and effort will oe made to abrogate the powers of the United States Supreme Court so that tbe court will no longer have the light to say whether a federal law— as passed by Congress— shall be con­ stitutional or unconstitutional. - In order to bring such a condi* tion to pass, a constitutional a- mendment will have to be adopted. We hope that such an amend ment will be defeated. ' The Su preme Court is our national safety valve. Personally,' we’d rather trust to the judgment. of those “Nine Old Men” when it comes to saving what laws are right and what laws are wrong, than trust trust , to tbe judgment of the mem­ bers of Congress. Too often Con gress passes a law with only the thought ot political expediency in mind. The Supreme Court is a check on Congress and we believe that this check is one of the--great­ est safeguards that our govern ment has at the present time:—The State. Crack Your Own Nuts. There ia meat inside the nut .of business. It takes a man to crack it. A man who doesn’t wait for some­ one else to do the job for,him. There once were hundreds of love- 17 tame squirrols in a city park, and a rich old lady got into the habit of coming each day to feed them. She watched the squirrels carefully and noticed that it was pretty hard for the little animals to crack the nuts to get at the meat inside. When she died, soon after her will which pro­ vided that thereafter all the squir­ rels in her favorite park• should be fed on cracked nuts, so that they wouldn’t have:to: work so hard. So months later all the squirrels in that park had died from physical in­ ertia and deeaved teeth, and a bunch ot tough -squirrels who had been cracking their own nuts moved in and took position of the' nice- trees and.squirrel-housea in the old lady’s park. Is a moral necessary?—Ex. Do you take Th* Record, era Farmers. A Victim Of Hjs Own Generosity. Amember of Congress from New England undertook to raise a sum ot nioney for a charitable purpose, and, in order to collect as mticb money as possible, he wrote eloquent tetters of appeal to his wealthiest constituents/ From one of them, he received the following heartbreak ing reply: I have vour letter requesting a donation for what you consider a very worthy cause. I flatter myself that I have a spirit ot loyalty arid generosity. I have-contributed to each and every object that has beer presented to me. but I have to de cline helping your cause , along for the following reasons: I have been held up, held down, sand bagged, walked on, sat on rolled over, flattened out and squeez ed; first by tile United States govern ment for the Federal war tax, the excess profits tax, the Liberty Loan Bonds and the bonds of matrimony; in NewJersey for the State tax, tbe highway tax, the income tax, the auto tax, school tax, cat tax, syn tax, and every, society and organi zation the inventive mind of man can invent to extract what you may or may not possess, from tbe Society of John the Baptist, the G.

One of my mills burned down, the henhouse and board walk blew away, and, because I will not sell all that I have to go beg, borrow and steal, I have been cussed and dis cussed, boycotted; talked to and talked about, lied to and lied about, held up, hung up. robbed and nearly ruined, and the only reason I am dinging to life is to see what in H— is coming next. An Authority Speaks. • Roger W. Babson spoke before the New York Executive Club, and said in part as reported in the Christian Science Monitor Gambling is more rampart in this country today than ever before in its history. A billion dollars changed hands during 1935 in horse racing, dog racing, slot machines, and so forth. The liquor business and all forms of questionable a- musement have boomed -as never before. -This has increased the fi« gures on bank clearings and make us appear prosperous. This ac­ tivity, however, has done nothing to improve the standard of living. Money which should have been spent for food, clothing, .education aad culture, has been spent for gambling, liquor, night clubs and the like. I am not preaching a sar» mon! I am simply emphasizing that we can have apparent business prosperity and at the same time a declining standard of living. More Ten Cent Corn. You keep telling us how well off we are as farmers, but it’s awfully hard to believe when we have such a bard time to buy the necessities of life. I’ll admit to buy- the nec essities of life. I’ll admit the price of corn and bogs • are higher the last tnree years. But I would like some of that 10 cent corn you ta'k about so I could keep a lew of my bens through the winter. I have a few young chickens to sell, but the price is so low they won’t buy a hundred pounds of feed. . . I think the drouth bad lots more to do with present prices than the administration. Just how much do you think' the present price of corn and hogs would be if there any to seil?— Mrs;' W .. C.

Toting .millions of greetings and presents, 33,825 rural mail carrier; were glad when the holidays were over.

Minnesota, Mrs. Harvey came to Clark 35 years ago; Her husband, William, carried the mail for 11 years she was his “sub.” Then he decided to branch out, become a salesman. Mrs. Harvey is the mother of eight children. The five youngest as babies were carried with her on the job. When each was born she got a fort* night’s vacation, and then was back in the road with the new addition tucked in tbe front of the wagon in a clothes basket. Described as "handsome and physi­ cally vigorous.” Mrs. Harvey is five feet, four inches tall, weighs 117 pounds.. When she first took the port, her then 30 mile route was covered be­hind a gray mare in a buggy. Describing t.be job at that time, she says: “It took a whole day to make the trip, with a short stop at noon to change horses and have a bite of lunch.” In 1914 she purchased her first car bas used 10 others since. In all, she has covered 325,000 miles, never had an accident. Except during the rush hoiiday reason, she travels alone. Mrs. Harvey is proud of never hav­ing been frost-bitten or ill.

Her earn­ ings hcve been used for tbe educa­ tion of the children, all but two of whom bave been sent through col­ lege. . Mrs. Harvey maintains her most thriving adventure was on one oc­casion when her rig became buried in a snowdrift.She says she had to climb through the back window of the hack, dig the borse out.

C. Hulett. president of tbe Burlington, Wis., Liars’ Club, which arranges the annual contest announc ed the award Friday. Mrs. Bamhouse’s lie emerged as winner from among more than 5.000 submitted during the year. Her story concerned the biggest mosquito in Michigan, where she said they had the “biggest mosquitoes in the world:!’ Shetold how its diet started with baby chicks, but advanc­ ed to grown ducks, turkeys, calves and even a couple of milk cows. “But now it’s dead,” Mrs. Barn- house related. “Last week it swoop- ed down, opened its mouth and Snap­ ped up our our old mule. When I saw that mosquito’s mouth close, I thought to myself, 'there goes a darn­ ed good mule!’ ButoldMaudelashed out with both hind feet before the mosquito could swallow, and broke its neck!” Roman Links of San Francisco wound up. in second place with a story of capitalizing on fog in his city. “The fog got so thick, he wrote, that he “spayed it with blaich ink, and then chopped it up and sold it around the neighborhood for coal.” Liverpool, Great PortOne of the. chief reasons for Liv­erpool becoming.a great port is. that ‘it possesses the only deep water haven on the west coast of England. There are 6 Vi miles of dceks on tbe city’s side’of the Mercer and 9% Problems Of Unemploy­ ment : ~ When one mentions the fact that business-seems to be on the upgrade »nd that 1937 ought to be better than the year just closed, a distur­ bing thought that often comes to the mind is that unemployment still SiJemS to be large in the country and that great sums for federal relief are necessary. “Yes, business is better, but what about the unemployed?” This is a reply one usually gels when he mak­ es an optimistic prediction about the future. There can be no question that un­ employment ought to become a sol­ ved problem as socn as possible so that a great drain on government resources—which includes the pock- etbcoks of the worker—can be stop­ ped or reduced to a minimum. If we are to go about solving the unemployment problem in a business' like way, tbe first thing we must de­ termine is, just how many idle peo­ ple in the United States are there, and under what classifications do they come? How many of them are willing and able to work? Up to this time there has been no comprehensive and enlightening sur­ vey of the subject. There is no a- greement even as to the total num­ ber of unemployed in the United States. Some statisticians put the number at ten millions while some reduce it as high as twelve. Autho­ rities like the Department ot Com­ merce, the American Federation of Labor and the National Industrial Conference Board disagree on the subject. No doubt a great of tbe disagree­ ment is due to the various methods of approaching the problem. One of the first things we must agree on is just who is an unemployed person tbat requires help. Opportunities for fraud in this respect are great, and the best agency for defeating it is a courageous, non-political corps of federal, state and local represen­ tatives - There bave always been a great many more idle people in this coun- t;y than the average cit’zsn realizes. Then there are the masses of tbe part time workers. In this category we may place hundreds of thousands of farm workers-and domestic ser­ vants.. Many of these. have never worked steadily and have had no idea of so doing. But, before the n:W era, they were always able to get along comfortably without pub­ lic relief and of course many of them are still doing so. Iri countless in­ stances there have beer, workers' in these two classes who have not sought a steady, all-time jib If the part time worders and those who do not want a job are subtract­ ed from tbe, unemployed; total, we may find that the figures are. not bo discouraging as we believe. Cf course, the introduction of modern machinery in. many industries has reduced unemployment, but it has always been an economic faet in the past that readjustments due to this have resulted in wider demands, and have opened up new fields of em­ ployment. although the transition period has not always been pleasant; But above all. if we are to tackle this unemployment problem and solve it we want first of all to know. just how large and how genuine the how genuine,tbe problem really is.; Then we will be able to solve it> Every American is entitled to the chance to earn his own living, and we ought to do a ll‘we can to .see that he has the opportunity to ex­ ercise that right.—1IUnion Republican -)OU 40 it jnoqe SuitHiCue' sMotR[ aq Jaqjaqza joatqns Xue uo eoiApe.sAtS 0} X peaj siCeMpe Si oqan jenptAtpuj jtue oj pagdde Si u u a ) aqi uotsuajxa Xg -SJaXetd pjeo 0; ostApe joj-pai|SEtm sa^iS pug suotjsaSSns s a jje iu '‘jp stu n f jaXBjd B iou 3[n{M ‘oq/a uo X ijepiapjed ‘ajdoad jaqio jo sjrejje aq) u t'saip -paui oqAi nosjad e Si jazjtqnf y n su p v pajtAuniflnv ,,•uxaqi jo iqSnoq* Xpuets -UOD SAeq pue uiaq) paAOj OAeq iasro eo ag ,, :paj»M sue oq ‘sauaAoo -sip p u n o p jd S a e a z os opera peq eq M oqpaspe s e a 'jsttu a ia s q sq 3 u a snouiej aq» ‘uojMa.H oeesr uauM S t|M A O R ia SQ l UO UOJMOK RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N.

WK0 Service SYNOPSIS Kerb Marsh, pretty* selfish and twenty* er* rives home la Corinth from school and b met by her older brother* Hugh. & drivee her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother. Fluvanna* a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding mu]* welcomes her. Keria’s sis* ter* Margery* plump and matronly with the care of three children* is at lunch with them. CHAPTER I—ContSnned — 2 Margery’s dainty figure had grown plump, but there were con­tented lines about her eyes and mouth. She wasn’t sorry for her­ self tied down with 'three children under six. She didn’t mind her vanishing prettiness. This was the life she had dreamed of ever since she had been a little girl and played with her family of dolls—a home, an adoring husband, and children to tend and scrub and dress attractively. "Margery — precious!" Keaa came through the screen door, and ran toward her sister. Mrs. Marsh surveyed them all from the head of the table, her gentle shining eyes resting on them one by one. “Do you realize this is the first time we have sat down together for years?” She had never said anything like that before. With utmost tact she had made Dorrie and Win Platt, Margery’s husband, welcome, but Hugh felt that it added to. her pleasure today to have just them. It bridged the interlude since they had left her roof and become ab­ sorbingly interested in other pur­suits, other persons. Margery forgot her role of digni­ fied young matron, Hugh, his posi­tion as assistant to the president of the Brower Steel Works, Kezia, the sophisticated teachings of Lolly Masters, an older girl at school, and her desire to model herself on the lines of that seductive and fas­ cinating person. "What are the headlines about the Comithians, MargeT The births, the weddings, the deaths, the scandals — particularly the scandals! . . . I lovis knowing the dirt about people! It makes you feel you’re not so bad yourself!” cried Kezia over the coffee. “You would,” said Hugh. He tweaked her ear as he rose. One o’clock. He must get back to the office. “Put them on the spot— use machine guns!”Fluvanna followed Hugh to the door. ‘ "Give my love to Dorrie! She’s a thoughtful child — she brought me a new book yesterday, a novel on China. Dear of her.” "She did?” Hugh’s face bright­ened as it always did when Dor­ rie was praised. Dorie hadn’t mentioned the gift, but she had a queer respect and affection for his mother, a revealing admission. He spent the afternoon going over the cost sheets, and had a talk with Sloan, the president, over the price cutting of the Arrow Steel, «Aidi kept him until. after five. He took his car from the park* ing shed under the bridge and slow­ly wove his way through the im­ patient late-aftemoon traffic.' He ran into a gas station to fill up his tank. A boyhood friend, Doe HQIer, waved to him as he passed. He waved back. He had a shamed feeling of ingratitude at the sight of Doc. They should go to see the Hillers, have them for dinner. They had called, made so many friendly advances—and Doc was such a darn good fellow! But Dorrie had a cool way of ignoring debts she did not intend to pay."Yes,” she would reply listlessly to his suggestion, “sometime we must have them. Don’t feel up to it now. Perhaps next week.”He lived on a street which had been part of the fairway of a golf course before the town had spread westward. The small Colonial and English style houses were attrac­ tive and well-kept, each with its hedge and evergreen shrubbery and driveway leading back to the garage. His ,own house was of tapestry brick with casement win­ dows, green flower-boxes on the square porch at the side, green and henna awnings. He left the car in the drive. Perhaps- Dorrie would want to go out after dinner.' A bridge table in the living-room, with cards and scores littraed on it, testified to recent activity. Then he saw Dorrie in a small sunny room just beyond, sitting relaxed, quiescent, her hands folded, in her lap. The sun touched her bur­nished hair, accented the creamy pallor of her skin, her ted mouth, the delicately moulded nose. Hugh stood still a moment while emotion burned through him. It came on him with a surprise, al­most a choke. This lovely woman was his—his. He left, her in the bouse each morning . . . she was his to return Io at tdgbL"! The pith of his heart. . ."Dorrie.'*She started a little as if recalled from distant visions, then rose and came toward him. Her sea-green eyes had an excited luminosity in Aeir depths as if her thoughts had been pleasant ones."Hello, Hugh." "Didn’t you hear me come in?” She smiled slowly up at him as his arms went around her. "No, didn’t hear you.” “What were you thinking about?”She shook her head. "Don’t know . . . day-dreaming, I guess.” He kissed her. Her hand curled in his; a flush rose on her . deli­ cate cheek. "Have a good game?""So-so. Joan and Orinda—Les­ley Gates for. ..a fourth.” She moved toward the table and put the decks of cards in their paste­board covers. “Lesley is a poor loser.” Fluvanna awakened from a dream of Jim Marsh, her husband. She had the illusion he was bend­ ing over, trying to tell her some­thing, and all the side, unruly as­ sociations that his memory brought unfurled themselves and waved ex­citing banners. Presently, lying with her eyes wide open and see­ ing the reassuring light of day, the sensation ebbed.Kezia was home—was right across the. hall, sleeping, in the green and gold bedroom. Kezia was probably the reason she had dreamed of Jim. The child didn’t look like him . . . no, Hugh re­sembled his father in stature and feature, but Kezia’s whole person­ality carried a haunting reminder. The expressions she had, the tricky way she raised her eyes and made them aspiring and wistful, her ca­ joling manner which . concealed her purposes, the will to. have her own way, all hinted at the femi­nine counterpart of Jim.She rose and drew up the shades. The perfume of lilacs came up from a bush beneath the window and brought back the spring of long ago—lilacs, the murmur of growth, and two people under an umbrella ■ . . Just a week after she met him. That had been a momentous night, a kind of prescience about it from the second the Clements had presented him. Fate did that sometimes. Usually it woiked soundlessly, but once in a great while it spoke a single word to you—"Now." ESla Clement had said: “This Is our cousin, James Marsh, from Philadelphia. He is opening an insurance agency here . . .’’ and Ella had gone on chattering in her tangential way about the Marshes living near some park, and her visit to them once when she had met some Senator—what was his name?—and the really very nice people who lived in Philadelphia. Later when they were alone for a moment, .Jim had smiled with his enigmatic eyes—strange the pull of some eyes—and said: "They’ve told me about you. I’ve been wondering how you got your name, Fluvanna. Ineverheardit before, but it has a nice sound, like deep water flowing under a bridge.” She had gone home that night with a disturbance in her heart- such as she had never, known be­fore, and said to herself: "If he asks me, I shall marry him.” . . . Yes, it had been like that.She found a note under the knocker on Kezia’s door. “Wake me at eight. I’m playing tennis.” It was five minutes to eight now. She rattled the knocker and heard' a sleepy response from Kezia.In the kitchen, Anna, a chunky girl of Roumanian parentage, turned from the stove with a liquid shine of welcome in her long dark eyes. "G’morning, Mis’ Marsh.” "Good-morning, Anna. Break­fast almost ready?’’ "Beady in ten minutes or so. I haven't squeezed the oranges. IiQss Kezia be down?” "Yes, she’s getting up. She is going to play tennis with some friends. I’ll go out to cut some flowers for the table.” She went out to the garden. Eric Olsen, a young man who took care of the yard and the car, was cutting the tender lush grass. The mingled fragrance of fiie lilacs, the shorn grass, the wild crab, sent a tingling response through her being. She gathered a bouquet of dark blue iris, then clipped an armful of fragile nod­ding columbine. She wiped the garden mould from her feet be­ fore the side door. "Hello, Cousin Fluvanna,” called a youthful voice from inside. "I just walked in—been wandering about.’’ She held the screen open for Fhivamu. “Ellen! . . . Been painting?""I had to—this morning! Lovo Iy flowers—let me take them.” Fluvanna thought: "If you could paint yourself among those flow­ers, Ellen!" Aloud she. said: "Just in time for breakfast—you must stay. Kezia will be down in a min­ute. I’ll call her—tell her you’re here.” Ellen put out a detaining hand. "Not yet—not just yet. I have, something to tell you.” Fluvanna smiled. "Nice?”"Very nice . . . I’m engaged.” “No!” “Yes, I am,” returned Ellen eo statically. “It happened last nightl ... To Jerry!” , "Dear—dear!” murmured F h t vanna. ."You told me quite a bit about him, brought him here . . . . still I didn’t think . . so f^fs (TO BK CONTINUSOi Barbara Stanwyek a a * * ** ★ ★ * * * » » » * * » * * I S T A Ii f I DUST I* ... $ * J M o v i e • H a d i o * VIRGINIA VAU * * * TIQSRE was a rather funny reaction to an interview that Edward G. Robinson gave a reporter for an Italian news­ paper some time ago. He praised the work of Frank Cap­ ra, the director, who is Italian by birth, saying that CapraL re­ fused .to direct gangster films. He remarked that he thought it was because Capra did .not want to make pictures which showed his own .people in a bad light. When the storm burst it hit, not Capra, but Robinson. Seems the ItaUans thought gangsters were something like senators—an American institu­tion of which Americans were proudl *—The Jong discussion over which actress would play the mother role in “Stella Dallas” has been settled at last. It goes to-Bar­ bara Stanwyck, who seems a bit young for it, but of course there’s alw ays make-up. And any­way, the part is to be rewritten to - fit her. Atthemomentthe "Gone With th e Wind” pursuit of a heroine is still rag­ ing, but no doubt that will be settled in the same way—some attractive, dependable actress whose screen work is known to the public everywhere will get it. —■*— Phil Baker, who has long been one of radio’s favorite .comedians, has learned a' lot bom what has hap­ pened to other men like him when they consented to make a picture. And he is profiting by what he has learned. He knows that, when the picture is released, the comedian’s part may have been cat and cut until there is practically nothing left of it. . Both Samuel Goldwyn and Para­ mount want him to do his specialty in pictures, but he had held off, even to Oie extent of refusing $12,000 to do his stuff. The very funny Ritz Brothers, who can be relied upon to send movie audiences into gales of laugh­ ter, encountered something that was not so very funny, to them, when they had to learn to skate for "One in a Million,” the Sonja Henie picture that’s all about skating, with Miss Henie doing five big numbers.The brothers simply could not learn to skate. They couldn’t even stand up on skates. Finally the difficulty was solved by having spe­cial skates made for them. Speaking of romantic stories, even the movies can’t heat the one of Wallace Ford’s long search for his mother and his finding her just before Christmas. Ifs about 38 years since she had to put him in an English orphanage, and Ford found her living in an automobile trailer, and the wife of a blind match seller. Now he is going to do all the things for her that .he has planned during the long years when fee was trying to find her. —■*— Probably nobody will ever be able to explain why certain radio pro­ grams succeed, any more than mo­ tion picture producers can tell why some pictures smash box-office rec­ ords and others that seem just as good flop terribly.. There is a delightful radio pro­ gram that has been going well for considerably more than a year. It’s called "Dot and Will.” And so far no sponsor has bought it. Yet the company has actual proof that thou­ sands of people listen to it. —^ I ■ ApparenQy a lot of Old stories are to be re-made during 1937.

CIarkGahle Offers New Opportunities 'T'H E modern woman who sews is really an enviable person. She has at her finger-tips an end­less array of fashions from wfiich to choose for 'her own and her daughters’ wardrobes. Today's trio affords her new opportunities in several size raises; in fact, there’s something here, for the mature figure, size 42, right on down to the Cigr tot who just manages to fill an "age 4.” Pattern 1987— This diminutive frock is for BBas Four - To- Twelve. Its easy lines, flaring skirt, and pretty sleev-es are per­ haps second, only to iia thru'-the- machine-aptness, so far as the woman who sews is concerned. But this is all too obvious to mention. Better cut this pattern twice for all ’round practical rea­sons. It’s intriguing in taffeta—a winner in gingham and linen. It comes in sizes 4, 6 , 8 , 10, and 12 years. Size 6 requires 1% yards of 39 inch material plus % yard contrasting. Pattern 1211— It is a smart frock like this that will turn the most immune young lady into an ardent seamstress almost over night. And rightly so, for it’s plain to see how becoming are its prin­ cess lines, how flattering the wide shoulders and slim waist, yes, and how spicy the swing skirt. A pretty and colorful motif can be had in the use of velvet for the buttons and belt. Mono­ tone broadcSoth, black or royal blue, frith tbe collar and cufEs of white linen, is a startlingly chic material for this , model. It is available in sizes 12 to 20 (30 to 40 bust). Size 14 requires 2% yard of 39 inch contrasting. Pattern 1210— Which would you have, Madam, an artistic smock or a glamorous house ooat? This pattern allows you to make this interesting choice and it has what yo'u’ll need to make either of the models illustrated here. Th* house coat has become woman­ kind’s most desired "at home” attire; so rather than be among the minority, why not turn your talents to this princess model— you'll have it complete in a mere lew hours and think of the count­ less days it will stand' you in good stead as a really good look­ing wardrobe asset. It. is designed in .sizes 14 to 20 (32 to 42 bust). Size 19 (in full length) requires 5% yards of 39 inch material plus 3% yards of bias piping and Yt, yard contrasting material fo r pocket.

THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD Editor. TELEPHONE Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks- Tllle, N. C., as Second-class Mall matter. March 3, money we secure from them will be used to run down and prosecute the unmitigated liar who tried to ruin our good name by starting such a slanderous tale about us as tbe one recorded above. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE • * I OO SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE • S SO Some one has said that tbs yel low of an egg in a roan's moustache was the sign of a true nabob. At the present price of eggs there are but few nabobs to be seen on our streets. In our correction of the list ol county officers in last week’s Re cord, the name of Dr. Lester P. Martin was Inadvertantly left out for which we offer our apologies Dr. Martin has served for several years as county physician, and has made an excellent record. Groundhog Committee Last Wednesday President Roose­ velt was inaugurated President for another four years term. Hund­ reds ot thousands of people from all sections of the Uuited States were present tor the ceremonies, despite the inclement weather. The day was wet, with a cold rain, and it reminded us that our president was elected on a promise to make the country wet four years ago. He kept his promise. Tbe weather this year was in keeping with the president’s platform—wet. Old timers say they have never seen such weather as we have been having in this section for the past month or six weeks. Up to the - time this article was written there bad been but one irost this year, The weather has been cloudy and rainy most of the time since a day or two after Christmas. The sun has been visible less than fifty hours since Dec. 27th, and enough fain has fallen in this time to have pro duced an excellent crop if it had fallen at the proper time. It is only a few days until the ground­ hog will be with us. We will a wait that event before saying much more about the weather. The Record believes In patroniz ing home enterprises whenever possible, and' has been preaching this gospel for nearly 4 0 years. Of course, we cannot build a fence a round our county to keep our citi­ zens from going elsewhere to trade. A fence might keep them at home but the same fence would keep people from other counties from entering our county. Tbe right kind of advertising and the right kind of merchandise would go far toward solving the problem of trad­ ing at home. We have noticed for nearly a half century that the mer­ chants who advertise are the ones who get the business. The big 'mail order houses spend millions of dollars annually in advertising, and they have thousands of customers in every section of the country. A Base Vilfian. The base villian who started the report that the editor of Tbe Re­ cord proposed to build a new cot­ ton mill in this city from the pro­ ceeds of the subscriptions collected from subscribers in this town de- ' serves to-t>e given a coat of tar and feathers and elected president of the Liars dub. Why any one should wish to slander a poor, in nocent, half starved editor is be­ yond our feeble mind. The idea of us building a cotton mill with the proceeds of subscriptions. It is enough to make Benjamin Frank­ lin, who once ran a newspaper, turn over in his grave to see the way our folks subscribe for local newspapers. But .that cotton mill! Why, it would take us more' than ten years to secure enough money from our home subscribers to build a respectable hog lot, at the pre­ sent rate they are paying. Would that tnis report about the cotton As groundhog day approaches, The Record deems it wise to ap point a committee of good men and true, whose duty it will be to meet tbe said hog on next Tuesday, Feb. 2nd, at 10 o’clock, a. in., and plead with the said hog to remember his evil deeds of the past, and prevail upon him to give us some sunshine and navigable weather for the next six weeks. The committee will meet at Wade Smith’s store, at Sheffield, provided the roads are in such condition at that time that the said committee will not endanger life or limb by traveling ovei the said roads. The committee is as follows: D. S. Beck, J. F. Reavis, W. L. Reeves, T. M. Richardson, J. Arthur Gaither, S H. Cartner, B. F. Anderson, H. G. Ijames and D. L. Richardson. This committee will please send us in a report soon after their interview with the groundhog as possible. Among Our Subscribers.

S "-I" ' By EDWARD W. PICKARD:« e Wcuesa NcmpapCT Tfcioa. President Boosevett TTflllJLY vdled but unmistak- A able was President Boosevelt’s rebuke to the SiQireme court in Us nnmtnl message on the state of the Union. Standing tri­ umphant before the lopsidedly Demo­cratic senate and bouse in joint ses­sion, the chief exec­ utive said: “The U nited States of America, within itself, must continue the task of making democracy succeed.“In that task the legislative branch of our government will, I am con­fident, continue to meet the de­ mands of democracy whether they relate to the curbing of abuses, the extension of help to those who need help, or the better balancing of our interdependent economies. “Se, too, the executive branch of the government must move forward in this task and, at the same time,, provide better management for ad­ ministrative actiop of all kinds. “The judicial branch also is asked by the people to do its part in mak­ ing democracy successful. We do not ask the courts to call non-ex­ istent powers into being, but we have a light to' expect that conged- Od powers or Ihose legitimately im­ plied shall be made effective • instru­ ments for the common good. "The process of our democracy must not be imperiled by the denial of essential powers of free govern­ ment.” Sketdiing the program for bis sec­ ond term, the President said legisla­ tion he desired at this time includ­ed extension of the RFC, of bis power <to devalue the dollar and of other New Deal authorizations about to expire, deficiency appro­priations, and extension of the neu? Irality law to apply to the Spanish civil war. Conceding that NBA. Iiad “tried to do too much”, he ccp- tinued: nThe Statute ef KBA has been outlawed. Theprobleoisbave not They are still with us.” The Preadent proposed federal and state supplementary laws to help solve the social and economic problems of a modern industrial democracy and challenged specula­tion, ' reckless over-produfction and monopolistic under-production as creating wasteful, net losses to so­ciety. It was indicated that later «i be would Eeek enlargement of federal powers over industry, agri­ culture and commerce. No members ef the Supreme court were present to hear the re­ buke by the President, but the hotise chamber was filled to its ca­ pacity and there waa a spirit of jubilation that broke out in fre­ quent demonstrations. The loudest of these was accorded to Jim Far­ ley, the genial national chairman being fairly smothered with con­gratulations for the November Dem­ ocratic victory. T BE senate and house met the day before the President ad­ dressed them and organized, with Mt. Garner of course as president ef the former and Speaker Banldiead again ruling over the lower chamber. Hie one matter ef interest in this pro­ceeding was the se­ lection cf Sam Bay- bum of Texas as majority leader of the house. He bad beaten John J. O’­ Connor of New York in the caucus, hav­ ing the potent back­ing of Vice President Gamer and presumably of Mr. Roosevelt. Of the total of 16 new senators only two were absent, Clyde L. Herring of Iowa and .William H. Smathers of New' Jersey, both Democrats. Two new Republican senators were sworn in, H. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire and Hemy CabOt Lodge of Massachusetts.Knmediateiy after the Preiridenfs address had been delivered on Wed­nesday, both house and senate hur­ ried with the neutrality resolution Applying specifically to the civil war m Spain. The senate adopted it Iuickty by unanimous vote, but mere were parliamentary delays in the house, and meanwhile the freighter Mar Cantabrico managed to get away from New Toric with Robert Cuse’s cargo of airplanes and munitions for the Spanish loy­ alists, valued at $2,000,000. GLENN FRANK, president of the .University of Wisconsin, was re­ moved from office by the board of regents of that great institution, by a vote of 8 to 7, on charges that his administration has not been Capable and that he has been ex­ travagant in personal expenditures for which the state paid. Allegedly, Dr. Frank was ousted because Gov. Philip La Follete demanded it. As one regent said: “He has not been vety Progressive.1* Accusedef play- Sam K a y b a a ing politics in this affair, Qie La Follete group replied that there is no politics in their attitude in the sense of political party affiliations or convictions, but that they have been extremely patient with Dr. Frank over a period of years, and that he has shown himself incom­petent in many ways. The “trial” of President Frank occupied two days and aroused in­tense interest throughout the coun­try, especially among educators. Chairman of the Board H. M. Wilkie and Regent Clough Gates were the prosecutors. Dr. Frank made vigor­ ous reply to the charges against him, declaring most of them to be “false statements.” He explained tHat he had spent university money for his household furnishings be­cause there were none in the big mansion provided for the president, and he forced Gates to retract some accusations. As Ig r as neglect of his duties for outside Writing and lectures Dr. Frank noted that most of them were in Wisconsin, for which he never took any pay at all. He has been out of the state 137 times in ten years, he said, and eighty^eight of those trips were specifically with educational groups, alumni bodies or other university business. The remaining engagements, he said,'were with groups whose prob­lems Weje !related to the problems arising in the various schools. rjENERAL MOTORS CORPORA- TION flatly refused to consider collective bargaining in its 69 plants except through loctd management. Whereupon 300 dele­gates from th o se plants in ten cities met in Flint, Mich., and granted to a “board of strategy” power to order a general strike. The beard is headed by Homer Martin, in­ ternational president of the United Auto­ mobile Workers of. America, one of the a p Siu l Lewis C. I. O. un- ions. Eighteen of the corporation's plants already were dosed by sit- down strikes and walkouts, and 50,* 000 of- its employees were idle. Tbe auto workers in their FSnt meeting, besides creating the board of strategy with’ power to call a strike, approved of eight demands on the corporation ranging from rec­ognition of their union to higher Wages and shorter hours. They also appointed a committee to negotiate with the corporation. Alfreid P. Sloan, president of Gen* eral Motors, is on record as in­ sisting that no one union shall be the bargaining agency for the cor­ poration’s employees. As. he left New, York for Detroit he said: “Let them pull workers out. That’s the only way I know to find out bow strong the union is.” Homer Mifftin has declared that "the question of recognition of the union is not negotiable.” William S. Knudsen1 executive vice president of General Motors, declared the company never would agree to collective bargaining on a national basis and, despite strikes, •would continue to produce automo­ biles as long as possible. Still there was hope of a peaceful settlement for the G. M. officials seemed likely, at this writing, to agree to a conference with the board of strategy. James F. Dew* ey, conciliator for the Department of Labor, and Governor Murplqr of Michigan were active in the effort to further negotiations, One stum­bling block was the insistence t t General Motors that the tit-down strikers must get out of the Fisher Body plants -in* FHnt before any conference could be held. Judge E. D. Black of Flint, who Issued an injunction against the Flint strikers, was bitterly attacked by the union men. Martin petitioned the Michigan legislature to, impeach the jurist because he admittedly owned General Motors stock and so allegedly had violated Michigan law by taking jurisdiction in the matter. The prime object of the C. I. O. is organization of the steel industry, and the crisis in the automotive in­ dustry was not expected by Lewis and his associates or wanted at this time. However, they are glving the auto workers their full support, mor­ally and financially. TT WAS announced at the White House that President Roosevelt’s eldest son, James, will become a full Hedged White House secretary^ and draw a salary of $10,000 a year after June I..; .Until the^beginning of the new fiscal, year, James will act as secretary but will be on the public pay roll as administrative officer drawing-, $7,500. . ■' ' At the elevation of James to the secretaryship, '' Assistant W hite House Secretaries Stephen T. Eiurly and Marvin M. McIntyre will also become full secretaries. IMPKO VEO UKIFORM international UNDAYI CHobtLesson O Wetiera Newspaper ttaioa.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Why Did Christ Work Miracles?YOUKG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Significance of Christ’* Miracles. The world is looking for super­ men, those who can work “mira­ cles,” and thus afford an easy solu­ tion for the problems of the home and of the nation. Men are ready to marvel at and follow in almost abject submission those who prom­ ise riches without labor, food with­ out toil, short cuts to comfort and satisfaction. Often they are con­ tent if they- only have something over which they may exclaim “Wonderful!” whether it be use­ ful or not.The miracles of God, through his servants and the Lord JesusChrist, are not mere marvels or wonders. They are not for the advancement of the cause of any man or for personal glory. They are the mighty signs of an omnipotent God wrought for the good of men, for their spir­ itual enlightenment and as a testi­ mony to the one true God.The two miracles of our lesson present Jesus Christ as a Lord of mercy and grace—ready to meet the needs of men. Deep and real was his compassion as his heart yearned over needy humanity. It is suggested that in . the study and teaching of this lesson we vary our plan somewhat and present sev­en seed thoughts' found in the two portions assigned. It is also urged that the context in both chapters be read With care. I. We Are Impotent Felk (John 5:2). The words well describe not only those wbo lay helpless about the pool of Bethesda but they fit 113 as well. Oh, yes, we are strong, capa­ ble, fearless, but only until we meet some great elemental problem. Then we see that we are indeed' “a great multitude of impotent folk.” The gently falling snow Stepped the undefeated Napoleon. The silent fog can paralyze a na­ tion. Death, sickness—who can stay their hand? , 0 . Despair Spells Defeat (v. 7). Long familiarity with his weak­ ness bad bred in the man with the infirmity a sense of despair. Such an attitude invites defeat. It is unbecoming to a Christian. Let us not forget in the . darkest hour to “keep looking up.”In. God Answers the Weakest Faith (v. 8 ).Jesus evidently saw in the man’s despairing reply a spark of. faith. He who believes honors the name of God. We may need to cry “I be­lieve, help thou mine unbelief," but if we believe God will meet even our faltering faith. IV. God’s Command Empowers '(w. 8, 9). ,Jesus told the man to “ Rise—and walk”—the very thing he could not do for his thirty-eight years of life.. But when the Son of God speaks to us he gives the power to respond to bis command. V. Works Follow Faith (v. 8 ).The man arose, took up bis bed, and walked. Man’s faith in God and God’s response to faith lead to man’s action on God’s command. Teo many are they in the church today who have never stood up and walked for God. VL Look to God, Not at Tonr Re­ sources (John 6:9). Humanlike, the disciples counted their money and found it was not enough to supply food for a multi­ tude. And then there was a boy, but he’had only five barley crackers and two little fish. It almost sounds ISce a church-board deciding to close the cross-roads church and let the Devil have the boys and girls, because it costs too much to keep up the work. . God help us to trust and go. on for him. “little is much when God is in it.” YD. Followers for Bread Not Wanted (v. 15). Those who follow Christ because of business advantage and social prestige know nothing of what it means to be a Christian. Heisnot a bread - making king; he Is the bread of life. Essence of Prayer Prayer in its essence is not so much the expression of our desire for things at .all as of cur desire for God Himsfelf. Diseourtesy Discourtesy occasions not merely suffering, but sm; and Christian courtesy is a “means of grace” to all who have the happiness to re­ceive it.—R. W. Dale.

Check Damper—a flap-like damp­ er, which should be located In the chimney pipe between the turn damper and the chimney. When it’s open, it slows up the burning speed of the fire; closed, it quick­ens the speed. Ashpit Damper—located below the grates and controls the amount of air supplied to the fire. To produce the best results, these dampers should work to­ gether—when one is open the other should be closed, and vice versa. In mild weather, when a slow, last­ ing fire is needed, the check damp- er should be wide open and the ashpit damper closed. When more heat is needed, the check damper should be partly dosed, the ashpit damper partly open. For ex­ tremely cold weather, the check damper should be closed tight, the ashpit damper'wide open. The proper use of these two dampers insures, the proper, degree of heat at all times qn a minimum amount of fuel. Holding Hte Cour*a ' Through Iigh t and da rk, through rfin and shine, the carrier.

It was a re­ markable statement and the truth of it may not now even be denied. It accurately presented one of the fundamental influences disturbing American fife and if that psychology could have been completely swept away, I believe things would have been different now.As I remember, I commented at that time upon the new President’s remark, Subsequently, I called at­ tention to the conditions of admin­istration policy under the New Deal that were necessarily causing a con­ tinuation of that “fear of fear” in­ stead of calming the nation’s nerves.As Mr. Roosevelt closes his first term and begins his second tenure, I believe it is entirely proper again to advert to his significant and truthful observation of 1933. We can look at this picture only in retrospect, regrettable as it is that we cannot see into the future. It would then seem to be an entirely permissible thing to do to examine the basis of Mr. Roosevelt’s obser­ vation and see what has been done to correct the condition about which he complained.I shall not attempt to go into the various phases of the four-year term. Indeed, I thick it is neither advisable nor necessary to analyze conditions beyond. those that are basic, fundamental, in our national economic and political structure. For that reason, and because of recent developments of administra­ tive policy, I am writing something about money in this report to you. The Scfiptttre quotation, isi “The love of .money is the toot of all evil." Bi treating of the subject of money from our practical stand­point, “the love of money” takes on quite an unusual definition. For, may I point out in candor, there never has been a national admin­ istration, s6 far as my research goes, that has so thorough!? loved the spending of money. I. believe Mr, Ropsevelt himself enjoys it but Mr. Roosevdt is not the chief of­fender of his administration in this regard. The two men whose rec­ ords stand out with an absurd will­ingness to throw money around as I used to throw pebbles when I was a boy on a Missouri farm are Harry Hopkins, Works Progress ad­ministrator, and Secretary Wallace, of the Department of Agriculture. I am quite convinced that Mr. Hop­ kins is the worse of the two. My conclusion is based on a conviction that Mr. Hopkins is the more waste­ ful. I am afraid that when the his­ tory of this great depression is set down in the cold light of facts as they will appear a quarter of a cen­ tury from now, Mr.. Hopkins will have a place in that spotlight that will not do credit to the hundreds of people who have the real welfare of the poor at heart. . • * • The latest development concern­ ing Mr. Hopkins in his public state- ment that there M o n e y must be at least fo r ReGet three-quarters of abillion new money appropriated for his relief work. ETresident Roosevelt previously had said he would ask congress for only half a billion. It is difficult'to rec­ oncile these two statements or the reasons therefor. Some slipshod thing has taken place or else Mr. Hopkins again is indulging in his favorite sport-of spending and wast­ ing taxpayers’ money.Now, the figures reveal that re­ lief operations, as managed by Mr. Hopkins, are costing about $165,- 900,000 a month. U Mr. Roosevelt intends to use only $500,000,000 for .relief, curtailment in sharp fashion must .take place. If no such cur­ tailment is intended, even the Hop­ kins figure is too small.Thus, we are brought face to face again with a question: What is to Ce the policy? I hear more and more discttssion as congress gets under way that some definite state­ment ought to be made, some com­ mitment given, so that the nation would know what it is proposed to do jnth all of this money and how much of it is to be used. Incidentally, Mr. Roosevelt re­cently spoke rather curtly to some of his departmental heads about their printing bills. Hethoughtthey were too Brge and that money should be saved in that direction. Now, it happens governmental printing bills amount to no more than a drop in the bucket when com­ pared to the waste that goes on in the enormous relief set-up of which Mr. Hopkins is the head. It has been shown too many times to need elaboration here. Since 'Mr, Roosevelt has taken note of the departmental printing hills, however, I would like to make the suggestion that there is no valid reason any longer for excluding re­ lief appropriations from the regu­lar estimates of expenditures as in­ cluded in the annual budget. Like many other items, the relief totals may have to be revised later, but that does not excuse the rather care­ less practices that have grown up in the calculation of relief expendi­ tures. It does not exclude the ne­ cessity for a real protection against heedless spending nor does it pre­ vent the formtdation- of intelligent policies. Individually, I do not quite under­stand why the administration should fuss about a few millions of print­ing bills and toss out half a billion or three-quarters of a billion, as the case may be, with reckless abandon' when such tossing is done without any evident continuity of sound pol­ icy.• • • I referred to Secretary Wallace’s spending proclivities. Mr. Wallace has been going W a lla c e about the country T a lk t M o n e y lately talking of the necessity for soil conservation and the payment of a subsidy to farmers to accom­plish that end. He has been talking about money in. sums, as large as a billion dollars. a year for crop in­ surance—a program in furtherance of Mr. Wallace’s “ever normal granary” idea. In theory, there is much to be said in favor of spreading unpredict­ able losses of farming through in­ surance. A large part of the dis­tress found in agricultural regions is due to the destruction of crops by causes over which the farmers have no control. If the consequences of these hazards could be minimized by adjusting losses over wide areas, and by using the surplus of one year to offset the shortage of the next, one major farm problem would he solved. But, as matters now stand, there is a natural tend­ ency to regard this move with a skeptical eye. This is necessary be­cause, like so many theories, the Wallace crop insurance, ever nor­mal granary plan seems to omit the one element that is necessary to be included. If this proposition is to be successful, there simply can be no doubt that it must have almost unanimous support. It does not have it and never will. The reason is that it calls upon the government to pay part or all of the cost and human nature inevit­ ably resents taking from one to give to another. Mr. Wallace’s ideas were adopted by the President’s crop insurance committee.' That committee was supposed to have the interest of ag­ riculture at heart. Its recommen­dations indicate that it had not only such ah interest but an even greater interest, namely, making sure that the farmers were given everything.From all of the discussions, that I have heard, I believe it is quite apparent that the committee went too far. It went so far, indeed, that it is arousing resentment from-: the consumers who think that, they will have to pay the bill. -There­ fore, by proposing a program that is too extreme, the crop insurance committee and Mr. Wallace have forced a cleavage between producer' and consumer and that is likely to result in a renewal of warfare be­tween these two segments Of, our national life. It will cause a re­ vival of an age-old quarrel instead of a healing of old wounds.No one can deny that the farmers, as a class, have not been getting their fair share. From the attitude of many thinkihg farmers, however, I rather believe that agriculture would prefer to-have a farm aid program which would permit it to produce and sell to the consumers under harmonious conditions and regulations rather titan get too much and earn the hatred of the masses who are tb buy the fanners’ output.To advert to the original theme, Mr. Wallace likes to pass out mon­ ey. He knows, as all others in pub­ lic life know, that the government will be generous with agriculture and I am afraid that fact has caused the- otherwise genial sec­retary of agriculture to lose his per­ spective—to forget that he is foster­ing a program that will change tra­ ditions and practices on the farms of America as surely as the sun shines. Farmers are human as everyone else is human. Some of them, like some of us, who must exist among modern cliff dwellings , of concrete and steel,. entertain a fear that a policy of government payments equivalent to a dole, may have the effect in the end - of destroying rather than saving the business of agriculture.9 Western Newspaper Union. AMERICANS By Elmo e Western Scott Watson l^SSww Ssun Hawkent Riflemaker HXTHAT a Stradivarius is to vto- v v Jinists, a Hawken rifle is. to those who love fine firearms. For a genuine example of the work­ manship of “Old Sam” Hawken of ,St. Louis is one of the rarest weap­ ons in existence. So far as is known, there are only' five. But it is not alone the rarity of these rifles which makes them in­ teresting. It’s a case of “the man behind the gun” as well. He was Samuel Eawken, boro of Pennsyl­ vania Dutch stock in Maryland In 1792. He was a soldier in the War of 1812 and after his return from it he began practicing the trade at gunsmith. In 1822 he moved to St. Louis where his brother, Jacob Hawken, was already engaged id making guns. That was the goldei era iff the fur trade and the fame of the rifles which Samuel and Jacob Hawken were making soon spread all along the frontier because they were the most accurate and finest pieces of workmanship available, not even excepting the famous Ken­ tucky “long ifles.” The demand for Hawken’s prod­ uct was limited only by the supply, which was small. For Hawken made every rifle hy hand, Welding the barrels out of strips of iron which he got from an -iron furnace on the Meramec river in Missouri. These strips Were hammered into five-inch lengths and welded around a steel mandrel, thus making the tube which was bored out with a rifling tool afterwards. It was a tedious and thoroughgoing job of work,-unusual even in those days of careful and honest craftsmanship. But what was even more unusual was the fact that Hawken had one price for his rifles. That was $25— no more, no less. He could have had twice or three times that price, so great was the demand, but he refused to charge more because he believed that one price brought Ifim trade. Jacob Hawken died during the' cholera epidemic of 1849 In St. Louis and Samuel Hawken contin­ ued in the business until 1859 when he sold out to an apprentice, John P.’ Gemmer who was running the Hawken shop when Samuel Hawken returned to St. Louis in 1861 to spend his declining years. “Old Sam” became a regular habitue of the shop so long as he lived and Could scarcely keep his hands off the tools, so greatly did he love the work. Once Gemmer allowed him to don an apron and make a rifle complete as he had done in years gone by and this rifle, prob­ ably the last which “Old Sam,” honest workman, ever made, is one of the two Hawken rifles now owned by the Missouri Historical society. Our Early Watches The first watches were produced in all sorts of fanciful designs^wlth 'cases shaped like crosses or shells or mandolins, says a writer in the Washington Star. A peculiar fash­ion was that of a watch-case shaped like a skull, to remind the owner when he looked at it that time was fleeting and death was ' drawing near. TheJovely and unlucky Mary Queen of Scots had a skull-shaped watch, and in view of her death on the headsman’s . block: it was gruesomely appropriate. Cavaliers had swords and-poniards with little watches set into the hilts. $80,000 Signature THERE’S no doubt that John D. Rockefeller’s signature, or that Of J. P. Morgan, would be worth $50,QOO—it it were on a check! But the only American whose written name (not on a check). has ever been worth that amount was Buttou Gwinnett. Gwinnett was born in England in .1732. Despite that fact, he can be listed as an-American because he came to America in 1770, was chosen as a delegate from Georgia to the Continental congress and was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The next year he was an un­ successful candidate for governor and he was also defeated as candi­ date for brigadier-general of the Georgia militia by Gen. Lachlin Mc­Intosh. As a result c t a quarrel, Gwinnett challenged McIntosh to a duel which was fought with pistols at 12 feet. He was mortally wound­ ed end died on May 27,1777. Most of the 56 signers of the Dec­laration of. Independence lived for many years after that historic event, wrote many letters or signed many documents. But with Gwin­nett’s career cut off in less than a year after he joined that company of immortals, he left few examples of his handwriting. So his auto­graph is the rarest of all the signers and it is that rarity which gives it such great value. In 1926 Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbaeb, the noted collector, paid $22,500 for a will which was’ signed by Gwin­ nett as a witness. That was an unheard-of price for an autograph. But it was only the beginning of a “boom in Button Gwinnetts.” Later in the year this same col­ lector bought another—this time a signature on a promisofy note and it cost him $28,500. In 1927 an all-time record , for autograph prices was reached when ,Dr. Rosenbach paid $51,000 for a letter signed by Button Gwin­nett and four other signers of the Declaration who were serving on the marine committee.of the Conti­ nental congress. Aside from the Declaration- it is the only known document dealing with national af­ fairs.-which this Georgian signed.
