W e have heard a great deal a- bout the average man, but we have never met him. AU the men we know are about or below the aver­ age in some particular or other. We are beginning to believe that "there ain’t no seech animile” as the average man. H e exists, if be exists, between the pages of the vast volume of statistical computa­ tions and reports which we pay the great army of government clerds to . figure up every year. | The average man, we are told, pays $3 1 6 .3 3 a year in taxes. We n^ver happened to meet one whose taxes came to that precise figure. The averrge man is 5 feel 83£ inch­ es tall, wears an S 1A shoe and a 6 7 8 hat. We know one or two like that, but they are not average men, because the average man has $473 in the savings bank and 13/£ child­ ren, and none of our friends has either. The average man, accord ing to statistics, is 4 3 years old, goes to church eleven Sundays a year, smokes 3 ,0 0 0 cigarettes and 1 .2 0 0 cigars annually, and eats eggs for breakfast. But as soon as we find a man who is average in those respects we discover that he has a taste for sugar in bis beer or else has been divorced three times or has some other characteristic which takes him out of the ayer- age class. Of course, what has just oeen set doom is largely non sense, but is it any more nonsensical than the idea that any individual, group or gov­ ernment can lay down rules for hu­ man conduct and expect to enforce them or have them obeyed? For all such rules must be based upon an. average man, and there is .no such thing as the average man. It there were, the mythical average man might be content to let some­ one else prescribe his life for him; but even that is doubtful, for some statisticians have it figured out that the average man breaks at least one law every day!—W ilkes Journal.

After hearing a lot about the way warduess of children of the pre­ sent, it occurred to Rev. Clinton D. Cox of Chicago to get the view­ point of the youngster themselves, which he did through asking 175 boys to write freely their ideas on “ what’s wrong with the home?” Among the answers given by these boys, who ranged from (4 to 16 years oi age, were the following: “ A bov wants a mother who can keep a secret and not tell the neigh­ bors everything about him.” ‘'The girl's word is always taken and the boy’s word i s . always doubted ” “ Home is a court room and eV' ery member in the family tries to take a hand in raising the boy.” ‘Parents never admit it when they are wrong.” "People who led'the wildest' life befote they were married are the strictest parents. . “ Mothers try to hold othfer boys up as models to much.” These are only a few of the an swers, but they indicate that boys believe there area good many faults on the parents’ side of the case, and doubtless that is true. Youngpersons will 'usually ac­ knowledge their shortcomings and accept reproof without resentment if they feel that the parent is right and fair. But it is often difficult for parent and child to see. things from the same angle. To deal with children firmly when necessary, yet without ap parent barsoness, Is not always easy.

Long ago. in fact, it became a sort of unwritten lew. Then why should not the Consti­ tution. by Amendment, be made to prohibit presidential third terms, as proposed by Senator Royal S. Cope­ land of New York? Although Senator Copeland is an anti-New Deal Democrat, and ad­ mittedly may be moved in the pre­ sent instance by opposition to a third term for President Roosevelt, why should any one, friend or foe of the incumbent of the White House, op­ pose a constitutional prohibition to third terms? Does any one think tne American people have reached the point after 150 years, or soon will reach the point, that they wish to abandon the traditional limitation to two terms? There is but one way that a Presi­ dent even in these modern times of change and smashing of traditions could hope to gain a third election and that is by the process of control­ ling nominations and elections by virtue of the power vested in him through his control of the expendi­ ture of billions of dollars of money and distributions of extraordinary political patrcm ge in potentially close States. And Presidents ought not be nomi­ nated or elected that way. Senator Copeland’s proposal of a constitutional amendment, to pro­ vide that no pei B in “shall be el « gible to hold the office of Presi­ dent for more than two terms of four years each,” is timely, in view of the -fact that a third-term-for- Roosevelt movement is already underway. , Recently three. State' Governors have come out for a third term for Mr. Roosevelt—Democratic Gover­ nors Earle of Pennsyvania and All- red of Texas and Farmer-Labor Gov­ ernor Benson of Minnesota. Commenting on the “Third Term for Roosevelt Club” founded by these Governors, the Ualeigh Times re­ marks that "time alone can toll how far such a movement may be noted that if the White H oup is silent on the suggestion it is showing no signs of discouraging it.” - A conatitutional limitation of two terms would put an end to the great amount of talk of third terms al­ ways heard during the second term of each succeeding President who is re-elected once. And that would be great gain for the country. Anotherpoint of gain would be that no President would devote a large part of a second term laying the ground work for a thjrd, al­ though of course there would devote a large part of a'second term laying the grouud work for a third, al­ though of course there would be no constitutional car to his efforts to build up his own political prestige and influence to the point that he could dominate his party in the sel­ ection of his party in section of the candidate to be named to succeed him. Of course, under all the circum­ stances, the Copeland proposal is not likely to go very far this year or next,' but nevertlieless it is one well worthy the serious consideration of Congress and the people of the Na tio n ,-Charlotte Observer. There are a great my persons in Union County and the UnitedStates over 65 years of age who have been greatly disappointed recently. They believed that upon old-age pension merely for the asking-. Now that they have found differently, the:e is much disappointment and bitter­ ness among them. That, however, was to be expected-* In the first place, discussions of the Townsend plan misled most of the old folks. Then the Federal govern­ ment passed an act agreeing to match State funds up to $15 per per­ son for old-age assistance In that manner, many thought, that they would receive $30 a month, which was net as good as Townsend’s $200, but acceptable. Now that the plan has been put in operation, -it_is found that the average monthly payment is only $3 and that goes only to the very needy.

QUESTION AND ANSWER. .Question: I have just started in but iness and am desirous of knowing what information .I 'should keep in order to make monthly reports on- dvr the old age benefit taxing title of the Social Security Act. Answer: The SS I form on which you will report the amount of taxes deducted from your employees and the amount you pay requires: (I) Number of empliye*?; (2) taxable wages paid during the month; (3) employer’s tax (one per cent, of No. 2); 4 credit or adjustment (which will not apply to first; (5) return total employer’s tax; (6) employer’s tax. [sne per cent, of No. 2]; [7] credit, or adjustment [no application Infirst return I; 8 total employees’ tax; [9] total amount of taxes [No. 5 and No. 8], You should also be sure and have each employee’s ac­ count number.- Question: How can I get a job in the old-age benefits office? Answer: The Federal Bureau of Qld*Age Benefits is a department of the Federal Government. AU em­ ployees with the exception of a few experts in the Bureau, are taken di­ rectly from Civil Service registers. Question: What must a person do in order to qualify for old-age bene, fits? Answer: There ars three require­ ments which qualify a person for old age benefits: [I] He must be at least 65 years of age; [2] he must have earned not less than $2,000 to­ tal wages from employment, not specifically «-xempted from the Act, after Decetrber 31 1936, and before the age of 65; [3] he must have re­ ceived-wages from employment in some dav in each of five years after December 31, 1936. and before the age of 65. Question: Who collects taxes ur.» der this Social Security Act? Answer: The taxes provided by the Social Security Act are collected by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, governed by such rules and regula* tions as the Bureau may make and subject to such penalties as set forth in the Act and regulations issued thereunder. Question: How many people must be employed in a store to have that store come under the Social Security Act? For the old-age benefit action, one person is sufficient to bring a. store under the Act. For the unemplo.i • ment compensation section under the Federal Act, eight or more employ­ ees are necessary. Under the State acts this varies according to the dif­ ferent States from one to eight per­ sons. Look Again, Solomon. "There’s nothing new beneath the: sun,” Declares that wise-head, Soloaon; .

SHERMAN was the Yank who is credited with the re­ m arkable observation that "war is )hell.” Now the 4,000 Yanks in the 'North China danger zone are agreed !that while the current “unpleasant- mess” may not be official war in the eyes of the Japanese govern­ ment, it surely is the other thing. With shrapnel raining around their ears, Americans in Shanghai prepared to leave while the leaving was good, and the U. S. S. Augusta, flagship of Uncle Sam’s China squadron, stood by to help them make their getaway, as the great city of 3,500,000 inhabitants sweated in a crisis that threatened greater destruction than the fighting of 1932. At least three Americans were ,killed in the opening skirmishes, ialong with about 600 others, mostly !Chinese. Yet the American State fdepartment indicated that the Unit- red States had no intention of becom- ring involved, even if some American !lives were lost. ! The gravest situation in the unde­ clared war to date arose when three 'Chinese bombing planes attacked !the Idzumo, Japanese flagship, as it rlay in the northern end of the Bund. The bombs missed their mark, but they drew the fire of the Japanese, and it was not long before consid­ erable areas of Shanghai were set aflame by the incendiary shells. Ironically . enough, most of the damage and loss of life was caused by the Chinese themselves. Chinese planes zoomed over the city in the direction of the Japanese ships, to the cheers of the populace, still mindful of the fact that the out­ come of the 1932 affair might have been different had the Chinese owned military planes at that time. But the cheers turned suddenly into screams of horror as bombs began dropping not upon the hated enemy, but upon defenselsss Chinese civil­ ians who filled the native quarters’ streets. Frightful were the scenes which filled the bombed area, as 1,500 dead and wounded lay about, some of them blown to bits. Explanation for the slaughter, as prepared by Mme. Chiang Kai-shek, wife of the Chinese dictator, was that the men •flying the bombers had been wound- .ed by Japanese anti-aircraft and machine guns and their planes had been so crippled that Ute bombs were released unintentionally before •the fliers reached their objective. Two of the airmen were killed. The planes of destruction had been purchased in UievUnited States. !However, the opinion of members .of the United States senate commiK tee on foreign affairs was that a statement expected from President 'Roosevelt would not involve the neu­ trality act, with its power to ouUaw the sale of arms and the extension of credits to belligerent nations. Japanese authorities continued to insist that they meant no harm to the Chinese people, and that Uieir aim was still for the “co-operation” of China, Manchukuo and Japan. They also revealed Uiat voluntary contributions to the nation’s war chest, coming from all over Japan, had reached a total of $2,500,000. — -K— South Demands Crop Loans /"'ONGRESS regarded adjourn- ment as possibly farther off than ever as the wage-hour bill got all tangled up with surplus agricul­ tural control and cotton loans in what looked like a hopeless mess. With the Department of Agricul­ ture estimating a 15,500,000-bale cot­ ton crop, about 3,000,000 bales more than can be consumed,. Southern representatives and senators were demanding surplus crop loans. The Commodity Credit corporation has authority to make such loans. In a press conference, President Roosevelt indicated that he bad no intention of permitting a 10-cent cot­ ton loan until congress passed the agricultural- control program’ and ever-normal granary biU which Sec­ retary of Agriculture Wallace says is necessary before the new session in January. Trouble is the house committee doesn’t know how to write such a bill and make it stick, in view of the Supreme court’s deci­ sion on the AAA. I Now the southern bloc has made it clear that it will not push through’ the President’s much-desired wages and hours bill, as- dictated by Wil­ liam Green, president of the Ameri­ can Federation of Labor, unless southern farmers get their cotton loans. Furthermore, the Southern­ ers under the capitol dome are now asking for loans as high as 15 cents a pound, and in some cases even 18 cents. The South is not any too well in accord with maximum hours and minimum wages anyway. The result of the whole affair is a complete stalemate. Somebody will have to give in; somebody prob­ ably will, and there will be old- fashioned "hoss - trading” on a wholesale scale. For congress wants to adjourn before the snow flies. Southerners in the senate were also worried when Senator Robert F. 1 Wagner of New York succeeded in winning recognition to debate an anti-lynching bill, the type of which the South has been successful in blocking since the Civil war. Some were of the opinion that the bill, al­ ready passed by the house, might be defeated by filibuster (Senator Bilbo of Mississippi threatened to filibuster until Christmas) but more believed that the Southern members would consent to its passage to put President Roosevelt "on the spot.” They explained that if he did not sign it he would lose the negro vote so essential to the third term that is being whispered about, and that if .he did sign it the Democratic South would drop him like a hot potato. •*- —-K- Nominee Draws Rebuke W ITH his customary exercise of the dramatic, President Roose­ velt nominated Senator Hugo L. Black (Dem., Ala.) to fill the vacan­ cy on the Supreme court bench caused by the retirement of Justice Willis Van- Devanter. Senator Black had not even been mentioned for consideration previ­ ously, and the ap­ pointment was a complete surprise to his colleagues. . . For 20 years it hasSenator Black been a custom, when a senator is appointed to high office, for his nomination to be con­ sidered in open executive session. But when Senator Adiurst (Dem., Ariz.) proposed this in Senator B l a c k ’ s nomination, objections came forth immediately from Sen­ ator Burke (Dem., Neb.) find Sena­ tor Johnson (Rep., Calif.). They asked that the nomination be re­ ferred to the senate judiciary com­ mittee for “careful consideration.” This was viewed in the light of a distinct rebuke for the nominee. Senator Black has been a militant leader in the fight for the Presi­ dent’s wages and hours legislation. As a justice he would have the op­ portunity to pass upon measures regulating public utility holding companies, authorizing federal loans and grants for publicly-owned' power plants, and -fixing prices in- the soft-coal industry. He was, as the chairman, of the Black commit­ tee to investigate lobbying, the cen­ ter of a storm of public opinion dur­ ing the early months of 1936. - —•*— .

G-kVNUServiee,* W a s h i n g t o n D JL Ai g e s t J • u l 9 e s TNat ional Topics Interpreted ByW ILLIAM BRUCKART NATIONAL PRESS 3LDG WASHINGTON, D ’ C isS S S t Washington. — Some years ago, when New England’s sharp-tongued . . . George H. Moses L tk e sat in the presid- OldTime* ing officer’s chair as president pro tempore of the senate, I used to marvel at the speed with which he got rid of legislation. The Repub­ licans were in control of the senate. The late Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas was the Republican leader. Between the astute Curtis and the nimble-witted Moses, the senate many times really ran in high gear. To me, it was reminiscent of the old days, therefore, when I watched Vice President “Jack” Gamer op­ erate in the senate the other day to get the judiciary reform bill through that body without permitting a del­ uge of debate. I think Mr. Gamer performed on that occasion with even greater finesse than did Sena­ tor Moses because Mr. Gamer did not wait for cues from the floor of the senate; he simply took charge and, knowing what the job was, saw to it that things were accomplished in record time. But the significance of this inci­ dent should not be overlooked. It was noteworthy, of course, that the senate should pass the court bill and send it to the house in a total of six hours. It was noteworthy that the Vice President established a precedent by granting permission to senators to include in the Congres­ sional Record speeches they would have made if the debate had been prolonged. And yet it was the im­ plication of the senate action that seems to me to be the most impor­ tant phase of that situation. The way I see the picture is this: The ease with which that bill was put through demonstrates that those who opposed the original bill to add six new justices to the Supreme court were objecting only to the cotmt packing and not to the re­ forms in procedure. The bill as it becomes law pro­ vides for a number of changes in court procedure to the end that ad­ judication of controversy can be ac­ complished much more quickly than has been the case in the past. It does not include any addition to the membership of the Supreme bourt and it does not include any provi­ sion for sending hand-picked judges into the various circuits and dis­ tricts as the White House and the Department of Justice may decide. In other words, the new law leaves the judiciary system independent and again establishes it as a co­ ordinate branch of the government, equal in all respects to the legisla­ tive, which is congress, and the ex­ ecutive, which is the President and the executive departments. There can be no doubt that this piece of legislation is worthwhile although to the layman the benefits may not immediately appear. It must be re­ garded, however, simply as a piece of legislation that cuts much legal red tape and those who must avail themselves of the courts or those who are forced under jurisdiction of courts will come more nearly obtaining justice than heretofore. I have said in these columns be­ fore that when the senate refused to accept the President’s orders and pass legislation that would permit him to appoint six new justices to the Supreme court at one time, the President suffered one of the worst political defeats he has ever en­ countered. He probably will never meet with another such disastrous setback. It was obvious to the vast major­ ity of senators and representatives and to observers here within six weeks after Mr. Roosevelt submit­ ted the court packing bill that he could not force it through. He re­ fused nevertheless to admit defeat. In consequence, it took nearly six months of bitter and futile wran­ gling in the senate, to convince the President that he was on the wrong side of the question as far as’ public sentiment was concerned. So, congress has wasted nearly all of the 1937 session on a proposi­ tion for which it was not respon­ sible. ,It may be said that congress should remain in session under those circumstances and give all of the time that is necessary to delib­ eration of measures before it. Yet, facts must be faced. One of these facts is that through all of the months prior to adjournment scores of members were wearing them­ selves down fighting against a prop­ osition with which they could not agree. In the meantime, Washing­ ton’s summer settled down. Wash­ ington’s summer is a completely hot and humid summer. Most of the members, of the senate and house are no longer boys of college age. They cannot withstand the physical rigors of -heavy work under weather conditions that prevail in a Wash­ ington summer; Thus it is ■ not Strange at all that as July passed and August wore on, most of the members wanted to go to places more comfortable than the Capital city and that constituted a terrific urge to get rid of whatever legisla­ tion was before them with the very minimum of effort. In consequence, there has been some very bad legis­ lation and congress is now wholly to. blame for it. • * • A friend of mine, a well-known doctor, who is not a politician, At v At k n o w s nothing N e w Y o rk s about politics—a Fight man, in short, who m in d s his own business and tries to do the best job of which he is capable, asked me a question the other day that precipitated this discussion. He asked me why the newspapers throughout the country were giving so much space, front page space at that, to the political fight over the Democratic nomination for mayor in New York. My doctor friend observed that which is true, namely, that the may­ or of New York is only mayor of that city and has no jurisdiction or power anywhere else; he observed as well that New York City is sim­ ply a subdivision of the state of New York and that New York state is only one state out of forty-eight in our nation. Further, he sug­ gested that he, and he believed mil­ lions of- others, could not possibly have any interest in whether Tammany or the New Deal faction of Democrats in New York City should win the nomination and their mayoralty candidate. Superficially, the doctor was right. His thoughts, however, do not touch the root of that situation. Fundamentally,'the battle between Tammany and the Democrats in New York is a battle between the old line, conservative Democrats throughout the nation and the New Deal faction of the party which is headed by President Roosevelt. It is vitally important also to the Re­ publicans for the reason that the Presidential election of 1940 is al­ most certain to be a campaign in which we will find conservatives from whatever party aligned on'one hand and radicals’ from 'whatever party aligned on the other side. To that extent, the New YOrk primary and mayoralty, election is the begin­ ning of the 1940 presidential cam­ paign. - ‘ The bitterness that is going to pre­ vail from here on has been given something of a preview by the charge by Senator Copeland, the Tammany candidate, that President Roosevelt was interfering in a pure­ ly local fight. Senator Copeland’s activities in the senate have been almost wholly antagonistic to the President and the New Deal gener­ ally. Where the President has been sound, as the conservatives recog­ nize sound policies, Senator Cope­ land has fought alongside of the New Dealers. Otherwise, he has not concealed his opposition to rad­ ical New Deal proposals.’ Thus, when Senator Copeland broke openly and accused the Pres­ ident of stooping to local politics, he opened the way for conserva­ tives everywhere to strike back at the political machine managed by Postmaster General Jim Farley in Mr. Roosevelt’s behalf. As one house member suggested: “Senator Copeland has put fire into the fight.” The selection of Senator Copeland by the famous Tammany organiza­ tion in New York City was the sig­ nal for the New Deal faction of the great city to take off their coats. They promptly announced selection of New York Supreme Court Justice Maboney as their candidate against Copeland. There are four burrough organizations behind Mahoney. There is only the Tammany group behind Copeland. On the face of it, it would seem that the senator cannot win. The fact seems to be, however, that there will be a rather close race for the reason that some of the four organizations behind Ma­ honey may not be able to control the Democratic votes in their baili­ wicks as entirely as Tammany Hall will control Democrats so long af­ filiated with that organization. Cer­ tainly, according to the best advices I can get, the Copeland charge against Mr. Roosevelt is likely to swing a good many Democrats -to the Copeland ticket. This will be so because New York City always has resented outside influences in its political battles. Senator Copeland can be counted upon as well to broaden the charge so that Mr. Far­ ley’s tentacles in New York lCity politics where he has long been ac­ tive will be made to appear like the strangling, crushing arms of an oc­ topus. In other words, the conserv­ atives who are supporting Copeland will not let the charge of interfer­ ence by the President become of less consequence any time it is re­ told. ' - True, Secretary Marvin McIntyre of the White House staff denied that the President had talked politics with the Mahoney leaders. But the denial was not accepted by Cope-, land as being sincere, for he added: “I am not afraid of Mr. Roose­ velt’s reprisals. The President en­ joys a great personal popularity, but his political popularity is swiftly dis­ appearing.” - © Western Newspaper Union. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * STAR DUST 1 Rubinoff $ M .ovie • R ad io $ $ * ★ By V IRG IN IA VALE * * * IT IS children’s day In Hollyi wood, with contracts being signed in carload lots to exploit youngsters in films.

C- Infantile Paralysis Wave May L e t S c i e n c e T e s t P r e v e n t i v e Nasal Sprays Save Laboratory Monkeys, But Will They Work on Humans? ■ Iv/ Hero monkey—that’s what science calls the tiny rhesus monkey, like the little fellow here, whose nose is being sprayed in an experiment to test a preventive for infantile paralysis; thousands of monkeys have died in the cause. U the sprays prove successful on humans it may mean the end of pitiful cases like that of the little girl above. The annual,, nation-wide series of President’s BiiHtday parties helps to raise funds for the re­ search work; a scene from one is also shown. By WILLIAM C. IJTLEY WITH a wave of infantile paralysis assuming serious proportions in the south cen­ tral region of the United States, science may find its long- awaited opportunity to make mass tests of nose sprays as a means of preventing the dread, crippling disease. Nasal sprays have proved nearly 100 per cent effective upon labora­ tory monkeys, which respond to poli­ omyelitis (infantile paralysis) in the! same way humans do. But until an extensive outbreak of the disease occurred there was no chance to conduct experiments upon humans, for the lives of large numbers of persons must not be endangered un­ necessarily. Now that outbreak may be at hand, for the south central regions are reporting an increase in “polio” cases far over' the normal increase which comes with the summer months. Between May 9 and July 24 there were, according to the United States public health service, 486 cases reported from the west south central region, as compared with only 18 cases for the same pe­ riod of 1936 and 65 cases for the same period of 1935. During these weeks the east south central region reported 317 cases as compared with 234 in 1936 and 57 in 1935. There was some indication of the spread of the disease eastward. Doctors hope that the nose spray will be proved definitely successful in its application to human beings, for it is more than a century since the first written account of poliomye­ litis was made by a trained physi­ cian. English Doctor Started Crusade. Even so, progress has been phe­ nomenally rapid in the light of the age of the disease, for it is prob­ ably as old as mankind. But it was only 102 years ago that Dr. John Badham, of Worksop, Eng­ land, moved by the condition of four tiny patients, pleaded through the medium of medical journals for oth- \er doctors to come to his- aid with suggestions for the cure of a dis­ ease nobody knew anything about. Dr. Badham’s paper, telling of the plight of the four crippled young­ sters doomed to pathetically unhap­ py lives, launched one of the great­ est crusades in medical history. Poorly equipped as they were, doc­ tors of the Nineteenth century did not hesitate in responding to the pio­ neering Badham’s call for assist­ ance. Gety on Trail of Germ. Only five years later, Jacob von Heine, German orthopedic surgeon of Cannstaat, made public an im­ portant study of infantile paralysis. His practice brought him in contact with many cases of deformed limbs in children. A shrewd observer, he noticed something about young par­ alytics which other medical men had largely overlooked. He saw that paralysis was the result of some kind of acute disease which preced­ ed the appearance of muscular weakness. The discovery was epochal for, in other words, Heine perceived that paralysis in children didn’t just hap­ pen—it had a definite antecedent cause. He won for himself a place Cf honor in ranks of those battling against the spread of infantile paral­ ysis. It was a battle that widened to many more fronts as time wore on, and by 1885 the infectious na­ ture of the disease was pretty gen­ erally accepted. Yet it was not until 1908 that the first real advance was made in the search for a germ. Then Land- steiner and Popper, in Paris, inject­ ed portions of the brain and spinal chord, taken from a fatal human case of infantile paralysis, into some monkeys. They succeeded in infecting the monkeys with the dis­ ease, thus putting it on an experi­ mental basis for the first time. Only a short time later several doctors almost simultaneously managed to pass poliomyelitis from one monkey to another. They were Flexner and Lewis in New York, Leiner and Von Weisner in Vienna, and Landsteiner and Levaditi in Paris. The way was now cleared to studying the mechanism of the dis­ ease. It was indicated how the germ was spreading, but scientists still had not banded in any united effort. It took a national tragedy to wake them up. In the summer of 1916 the great infantile paralysis epidemic hit the United States. It began in a small area in Brooklyn, then spread rap­ idly over the rest of New York CSty and Long Island, eventually cascad­ ing over the entire country. It touched every state, and struck down more than 25,000 persons, most of them children. Health Officers at Loss. Panic swept Ihe nation. In the mistaken belief that only those un­ der sixteen were susceptible, rail­ road officials refused to let children ride on trains. Vigilante bapds of citizens established unofficial mar­ tial law in many places, and health certificates were required as “pass­ ports” for children moving from one community to another. Health officers made every con­ ceivable effort to check the disease, but they still lacked a working knowledge of ways and means to combat its ravages. The epidemic died of itself, finally, and so did public terror. There have been less epidemics since then; 15,000 cases were reported in 1931, and 10,000 each Sn the years 1927 and 1935. Medical science recognized infan­ tile paralysis as one of its most challenging problems and redoubled its efforts to find an answer. Foun­ dations, research laboratories both public and private, universities and individual physicians and research workers concentrated their atten­ tion upon it. But it remained for a layman, Col. Henry L. Doherty, to begin the most novel move in the battle, one which popularized , the fight among all classes of Americans. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, himself a victim of infantile paralysis, in­ spired the move. President Roose- velt’s previous interest In thecause of fellow sufferers had been repeat­ edly manifested by activities on be­ half of the Warm Springs, Ga., foun­ dation where victims are treated. First President’s Birthday Ball. Visiting Warm Springs in 1933, Colonel Doherty also became deep­ ly interested, and acquired a first­ hand knowledge of the research and after-treatment work going forward in this country. He saw the need for more .widespread co-ordination of effort. After discussing the mat­ ter with the President, he conceived the idea of a gigantic series of parties which would enable millions of Americans to do their share in the war on polio. Under Colonel Doherty’s direction the mammoth party-organizing task was started. A national headquar­ ters was established in New York and civic-minded persons were called upon to help. The first series of parties was held on January 30, 1934, the President’s birthday. Funds Aid Experiment. So far more than $4,000,000 has been raised by the annual parties. Seventy per cent remains to fight infantile paralysis in the community where it was raised, while 30 per cent goes to the national fund, to be used for research or rehabilitation work. . One important use to which ,the receipts from the parties was put was the develppment of the nasal spray preventive for poliomyelitis. How this spray came to be dis­ covered is a dramatic , episode in medical history. The subvisible mi­ crobes have ever defied scientists to follow their meanderings. Yet, after long and brilliant experimen­ tation, scientists in laboratories in New York, Chicago, Stanford uni­ versity and London at last found out that the nose was a doorway to the polio virus. In the laboratories of the United States public health service, Charles Armstrong, a “microbe hunter,” de­ cided that if he could find some means of blocking that doorway, there would be no way for the dead­ ly germs to attack. For three years he experimented with a whole drove of rhesus monkeys. Finally he found what he wanted. By washing the insides of the monkeys’ noses with a .weak solution of picric acid and alum, he was able to save 24 out of 25 monkeys exposed to a hot, ex­ ceptionally dangerous infantile pa­ ralysis virus! Confusion Hampers Test. Armstrong was confident that it his solution worked with monkeys it ought to be effective on humans. But he was forced to wait, for an opportunity to make the test. It ap­ parently arrived last summer, when an epidemic broke out in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. Hush­ ing to the scene, he won widespread support to his plan of spraying the solution into the children’s noses. He planned to have the doctors supervise the spraying and keep careful records. Unfortunately the experiment got out of hand: the doctors became swamped with de­ mands upon their time and many parents used the easily procurable solution without bothering about sci­ entific counsel on its use. After salvaging what records he could and making extensive rec­ ords of his own, Armstrong decided that a more powerful solution was needed. Two California scientists, working on funds supplied by- the President’s Birthday Ball commis­ sion, supplied it. They were E. W. Schultz and L. P. Gebhardt of Stanford university, and they of­ fered a I per cent zinc sulphate so­ lution. Zinc sulphate had been used for years as an eyewash.- They dis­ covered it was virtually 100 per cent effective in preventing infantile paralysis when sprayed into the noses of monkeys. ® Western Newspaper Union. rWay Back When By JEANNE SCIENTIST WAS BOBN IN SLAVERY U IS master traded a broken-down race horse, worth about $300, for George Washington Carver when he was a little pickaninny just before the Civil war.

He slept in a bam there and did odd jobs to earn a living while learn­ ing. The young negro boy’s thirst for knowledge grew, and he went on to finish his elementary school education in Fort Scott, Kan., where he worked as a hotel cook, a dish­ washer, and a housekeeper. Later he bent over wash tubs night after night doing laundry for people, to pay his way through high school. He worked as a hotel clerk for awhile and then entered Simpson college at Indianola, Iowa, where he earned his tuition by doing odd jobs. Three years later, George Wash­ ington Carver went or to Iowa State university, graduating with a de­ gree in agriculture. In two more years, he won his Master ot Srience degree, and was made a member of the faculty, so impressive were his accomplishments In agricultural chemistry.

Smart Coats for Now and Early Fall By CHERIE NICHOLAS TSJOW ^ ’ mil is the time of year when a midseason coat becomes a wardrobe requisite. Much is de­ manded of this coat. It not only has to round out the summer season with a perfect touch but it is ex­ pected to usher in the new fall sea­ son with a proper style flourish. Then, too, it must be not too heavy­ weight for immediate wear and not too lightweight for autumn com­ fort. It is with cunning awareness of all these “musts” and “must nots” of a midseason coat that versatile designers fell into step, cutting ca­ pricious capers with tempting tweeds and featherweight fleeces, also with soft lightweight woolens. White and pastel wool coats, al­ ways important dots on the summer landscape, are especially good style this year being as popular for wear in town as in the country. The wide variety of weaves and patterns in these lightweight monotone wools has added much to the style interest in these casually correct coats. The white, buttonless; three - quarter length full swinging swagger coat centered in the illustration is the sort you treasure, for, accompanied by a matching skirt, it makes a most practical and stunning cos­ tume to wear when weather is fair, be it a midseason or a warmish autumn day. To add to its prac­ ticality this coat may be worn over summer dresses and the skirt may double with delightful contrast­ ing lightsome wool sweaters. A week-end vacation calls for one of the soft, well-tailored wool tweed swagger coats of three - quarter length. Casual and comfortable it must be. It should be styled, with deep, roomy pockets and broad lapels, hang straight in front an* have a full swing-into-folds backline,!

The tweed so expertly tailored with wide, rounded lapels, deep patch pockets and wide turnback cuffs in this in­ stance is in brown, rust an<i white; check. It is worn over a beige, featherweight knit wool frock with' brown hand-knit scarf. ^ Lustrous fleeces are very good this season, especially in the polo coat style.

The three types that lead the millinery procession for midseason and early fall are berets, toques or turbans and the hat with a brim that takes an abrupt turn up at one side re­ vealing half of the coiffure. There is no doubt that millinery fashions are tending toward the extreme, and they are also very versatile. The three silhouettes pictured con­ vey an idea as to important mil­ linery gestures. The high draped toque at the top is significant of the future. The beret of velvet is featuring as a sm art midseason number, and women who lead in fashion are wearing them with their summer frocks at this time. The dashing high-side-brim hat is some­ thing to look forward to since mil­ liners are featuring it in various moods often with rather spectacular feather trims. FEATURE VEILS IN MODELS FOR AUTUMN* Veils which not only cover an eiK tire hat but the face and the shout, ders are the most striking feature ofi many advance fall models. ' The large mesh veihwhich is dot^ ted w itt chenille is the favored type, for wear during the daytime, but' there are some handsome lace veil*; to wear for more formal occasions.! Most of these veils are circular in shape and are thrown over the high peaked crowns of the new hats so that their draped edges extend wellj over the shoulders. Sometimes they are placed over the head before the; hat is put on so that the part which] covers the crown of the head serves as a crown for the liat. Another type of veil, also circular, in shape, has the center cut out so that the veil fits around a crown or: edges the brim of a hat. It usually^ is worn to give a downward sweep at the back, frequently extending' halfway to the waistline. / Uneven S kirl lin e L atest -• ' / Style in Evening Gown* A Paris fashion house shows a practical evening gown with a short skirt in front and a definite back­ ward dip to a greater length. These full skirts resemble the '■tarleton skirts worn by ballet dancers. The material is gathered into so many, folds that the skirts swing out grace­ fully in wide sweeps with every, movement of the body. These short skirts are far more practical than floor-length ones, which are likdy to get trampled' underfoot when dancing, and their width and fullness make them graceful as well as practical. 1 M atching H ats and H eels A re P opular Cor Sportsw ear Matching headdresses and heels are providing a gala touch to sim­ ple summer outfits worn by attrac­ tive young spectators at sm art Mid­ western country clubs.

We wish Jim could come down to Davie and convince our merchants that business is good and prosperity is floating around. We also have several hundred subscri bers that Jim should talk to. They say they have no money, and that prosperity is not in sight. Maybe Jim could convince them that they have plenty of money. The democrats who voted for Senator Josigh Bailey last year are now busy cussing him because he refused to stand by Roosevelt on his junking of the Supreme Court’. A- bout nine years ago Davie demo­ crats were running over the high­ ways and byways begging the boys to stand by Al Smith. For the past few years the same fellows who voted for Al have been bnsy cussing him. The politicians are hard to please. We have known for some time that there was something radically wrong with Jim Farley, who rat­ tles around in the position of post­ master general. Well, we have found out at last. Jim ’s father was a saloon keeper for many years at Grassy Point, N. Y. W hen he died, Jim’s mother took over the saloon and gave Jim the job of sell­ ing groceries and liquor to the neighborhood,. And this is the man President Roosevelt gave the biggest job he had to dispose of. Ye gods and little fishes. The Statesville Daily says it wants heaven to help us if anything should happen to Roosevelt and Vice President John Nance Garner would step into bis shoes.

We understand tbat only 140 aged peo pie In this county will be entitled to pension checks Persons who ate not in actual need, and who have close relatives who are able to' help them, or who are able to work, or have any means of living, will not receive pension checks, if we have been correctly informed.

The Record is the oldest paper in Davie county, and has been owned and operated under, the same management for more ' than 30 years^ The editor and owner is a native of Davie county, and is proud of this fact. Those who are always insisting on patronizing home enterprises would do well to practice what they preach. Thanks, Brother. Among the most outspoken edi torial writers in North Carolina, C Frank Stroud, editor and publisher of the Davie Record, at Mocksville, never publishes an issue of his splendid paper that be doesnt place himself squarely in favor or against some pertinent question and he al­ ways cites facts to prove his con­ victions.—Chicago Publisher’s Au xiliary. Dayie Gets But Little. The chief highway engineer, W. V. Baise, has allocated $2,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 for improving school bus routes in North Carolina. Out of this big lump of money Davie has been or will be given the pitiful sum of $10,120. Iredell gets $29.140; For­ syth county $4 0,6 4 0; Davidson county $3 0,7 4 0; Rowan county $3 4,3 4 0. and Yadkin county $13, 4 6 0. We suppose Davie should be thankful for the crumbs that tall from the master’s table. Attention, Farmers. ArepieseDtatlvefromthe North Caro Iina Department - of Agriculture win be at the.

Seven people were more or Iesi seriously injured, and twp automo­ bile were badly smashed last week when they met in a head-on collision on the bridge across the Yadkin River 13 miles north east of Mocks­ ville, on tbe Winston-Salem highway This bridge is nearly 1200 feet in length, an is onlv 16 feet wide. It was built some 25 years ago, when there were bnt few automobiles and practically no improved roads. With the heavy traffic on the improved roads of today this bridge is inade­ quate. The state highway commis­ sion should take up the m atter of widening this much' traveled bridge, or build a new one. Many wrecks have occurred on this bridge in tbe past, and perhaps even more will oc­ cur in the future. New Corn Mill. F. K..

TheFarmington Women's Club, follow ing tneir usual policy of civic betterment have asked tbe co-operation of the Davie County Commissionera and Health Auth­ orities in obtaining during Seotember a free Vaccination for tbe peopie of upper Davie. Tbe Davie County Commissions are in­ terested in tbis work and while they have received no State aid since 1930, they have borne all the cost of a county wide clinic In Mocksville every three years, since 1930. A free clin.c was held in Mocksville during July 1936 which was a regular clinic year. Due to some mis­understanding of tbe dates, many people failed to take it last year and the Com­missioners to dear up all misunderstand­ ing gave free vaccination during Auguet to all dtizens who'desired it. The Free County wide clinic at Mocksville closed the-iast Saturday in August but the Com­ missioners are glad to co-operate with tbe Farmington Women in bolding a local clinic there each Friday afternoon during September Tbe Farmington Women's Club offers to assist in any possible way; and Senator Brock of that community who was a member of tbe last legislature is much in­terested and especially urges all new school children to take the free small pox vacci­nation The free clinic will be held for Typhoid Fever, Diphtl er a. and Small Pox. Diphtheria vacrine should be taken by all children from six months up to fifteeo years. Typhoid vacrine should be taken by every one from five years up. Diph­ theria and typhoid vaccine last three years and may be given together. -These clinics will start at two o’clock promptly, aod will close at four each Fri­ day afternoon during Septemberbeginning September 3rd. They will be held at the School, aod will be under tbe care of the Farmington Women's Club and members of tbis Club will be present to aid in caring for the children. They have invited all local nurses to assist the County Physi­ cian in administrating the vaccine,It is hoped tbat not one will fail to take advantage of tbis splendid chance to pro­ tect themselves and their chi dren from the dread diseases of Diphtheria, Small Pux and Typhoid fever.

WITH BANNERS *■ 1 I -By Emilie LozingSYNOPSIS Brooke Reybum visits the office of Jed Stewart, a lawyer, to discuss the terms of an estate she has inherited from Mrs. M ary Armanda Dane. Unwittingly she overhears Jed talking to Mark Trent, nephew of Mrs. Dane who has been disinherited. Mrs. Dane had lived at lookout House, a huge structure by the sea. built by her father and divided into two, for her and Mark’s father. Brooke bad been a fashion expert, and Mrs. Dane. * “shut-in,” hearing her on the radio, bad invited her to can and developed a deep affection for her. Mark ; discloses that M rs.1 Dane had threatened to disin­ herit him if he married Lola, from whom he is now divorced. He says he does not trust Henri and CloQlde Jacques, Mrs. D ane's servants. He says he is not in* terested in an offer of Brooke’s to share the estate with him. Leaving her depart­ ment store fob, Brooke refuses an offer to **go stepping” with Jerry Field, a carefree young man who wants to marry her. At a fam ily conference she learns she must live at Lookout House alone, since Lucette, her younger sister who is taking her job, her brother, Sam, a young playwright, and her mother plan to stay in the city. Jed and Mark are astounded when they hear from Mrs. Gregoty, a family friend, that she had witnessed a hitherto unknown will with Henri and Clotilde two weeks before M rs. Dane died. Brooke had arrived just as she was leaving. Jed suggests that M ark open bis part of Lookout House, get friendly with Brooke and try to find out about the will, Jed agrees to stay with him. Mark accepts* Brooke’s invita­ tion for a family lDianksgiving dinner at Lookout. Mrs. Reyburn announces on Thanksgiving eve that she has been in­ vited to England. Sam and Lucette decide to move in with Brooke and Sam plans to produce a new play locally. After the Thanksgiving dinner Brooke tells Mark that little of Mrs. Dane’s silver collection is left. Jerry Field and his sister Daphne drop in and announce they will be neigh­ bors for the winter. CHAPTER IV—Continued “It must have been Mrs. Dane’s friend Mrs. Gregory; they call her the Empress here. So she has called. That means, if she likes us, that we shall be admitted into the inner social circle. Jerry, I was so dazed by your appearance that I forgot to ask what you meant by that word ‘neighbor.’” “Sure, we’re neighbors. Daphne and I have taken a house here for the season.” , “Season! What season?” “This winter, of course. Didn’t you say that many of the houses were to be kept open?” “Ye-s. But why — ” Surprise crisped Brooke’s voice. “I’ve been wanting for years to paint snow. Found I could hire a house with a studio here. You don’t mind, I hope?” “Don’t be foolish, Jerry. Of course I don’t, only—” “No matter what Brooke thinks, I’m all for it, Mr. Field,” Lucette encouraged. “It will be grand to have someone kind of young in the neighborhood—and—Oh, Sam, two more recruits for the cast of your play! Line of applicants for parts will please form on the left.” “Play! What play? I adore dra­ matics.” Daphne Field’s voice and eyes were eager. “We’ve been talking about pro- ducing Sam’s comedy, ‘Islands Arise,’ for charity. Of course it’s ' a terrific job. We always paint our own scenery—” “Hold! Jerry the boy artist will paint the scenery;”—Field’s enthu­ siasm cooled—“afraid my box of a studio wouldn’t be big enough though.”“There is a large empty room on the second floor next to Lucette’s. Couldn’t decide just how to furnish it, so I’ve waited. We can use that. Won’t it be grand, Sam?” Brooke explained and demanded in the 'same breath. “Yeah, but what does that prove? How do I know whether the Field team can act, or whether they’ll gum up the show?” “Don’t be a grouch, Master Rey- burn,” Lucette jibed. “You’d bet­ ter page the family Lost and Found Department for your manners. I adore neighbors. I’m pleased pur­ ple that we are to have two such snappy ones.” Mark Trent straightened and flung the cigarette he had but a moment before lighted into the fire. He kept bis eyes on Lucette as he an­ nounced; “Newsflash! Not two new neigh­ bors, but four, lady. I’m opening my house next week. Jed Stewart and I will keep bachelor hall there. My announcement doubtless lacks the roniantic overtones of Field’s, but we’ll do our best to make you Heyburns neighbor-conscious.” In the firelit library of his house, Mark Trent was perched on the corner of the large flat desk. As he filled his pipe he compared the old-fashioned air of dignified restful­ ness of the room with its deep chairs in the smoking-room man­ ner an I its two-story book-lined walls, divided half way up by a gal­ lery, with the charm of its twin on the other side of file brocade hang­ ing which screened the door con­necting the two houses. Jed Stewart, lounging in a crim­ son leather chair, hands in his trou­ sers pockets, legs outstretched} was staring at the blazing logs, watching the blue and yellow, copper and green tongues of flame lick at the chimney. The faint thunder of waves dashing against ledges, the ceaseless crying of sea gulls stole through the heavy hangings drawn across the long windows. Impa­tiently he sat up. “We’ve been here a week, Mark, and we are not the fraction of ai degree nearer finding that last will and testament of Mary Amanda Dane’s—if there is such a thing.” CiEnlUeLoring; WNtT Service. “And the silver; don’t forget the silver, Jed. I can . account for the will being lost—if there was one— but what has become of the silver? I’ve had it so much on my mind that I consulted Bill Harrison.” “Who’s he?”, “The inspector in charge of po­lice headquarters across the cause­ way. He’s been on the force here since I was a small boy.” “What did he say about the sil­ ver?” “He didn’t say, he doesn’t talk much. He asked a few questions about the Jacques and said he would drop in here this afternoon to take a look around. Mrs. Gregory is com­ ing later—hope they don’t meet—I asked her to have tea with us. Met her yesterday on the street, and she let it be known that her feelings were hurt that I had not invited her before. I-I asked her to bring Miss Reybum.” Mark Trent slid from the desk and abseritmindedly twirled a globe which showed the countries of the world as they had been before the Treaty of Versailles had remade the map of Europe. "Do you think Brooke Reybuht suspects that we are here as ama­ teur detectives, Jed?”“Amateurs! We may be, but you’ve called in a professional on the job, haven’t you? You can’t tell what that girl thinks, but why should she suspect our reason for being here more than Field’s, and one couldn’t suspect that lad of ulterior motives. He always looks to me as if he were on the verge of kissing a lady’s hand. Why didn’t you accept the lead in Sam’s com­ edy? It was offered to you, wasn’t it?"“It was, but long ago I outgrew dramatics. What do you think of ‘Islands Arise’—that’s the name of the play, isn’t it?” “That it will get a fair hearing, at least. The theater-going world isn’t so cocky and hard-boiled as it was some years ago and it may appreciate Sam’s ideas and ideals. You’d be a knock-out in the lead, fella.”“I wouldn’t take part in the play if I were aching to act. I see the Reybums as seldom as possible. Thanksgiving day when Brooke started to thaitk me for pulling her from under that car, I burned with shame when I remembered why I had accepted her invitation. I don’t care for this spy stuff, even if I do believe that the girl by some hocus pocus hypnotized Aunt Mary Aman­ da.” “You show it. Getting to be the strong, silent type, aren’t you, Mark? If you feel that way about her, why did you ask Mrs. Gregory to bring Brooke here this afternoon? You never have been fair to that girl. You started with the idea that she’s crooked, and you’re sticking to it like honey to a glass dish.” Trent blew a shrill whistle through his fingers. S tew a rt laughed. “I get you, the stop signal. I’U toss her a posy, then I’ll quit. I’m supposed to be stage manager of Sam’s play, but Fd sure make a mess of it without Brooke as my property, woman.- She’s executive and then some. She never forgets.” “When does the play come off?” “First Thursday in January. Sam thought of New Year’s eve but gave that up for fear he couldn’t lure a producer away from New York fes­ tivities.” “That isn’t far off. We’ll have a grand celebration here for the cast and friends who come from town. We’ll invite the neighbors to supper and dance after the show. Have you a speaking part?” Mark Trent stopped speaking to stare at the ceiling. Kid a door banged overhead, or had he imag­ ined the sound? The, servants, Taku and Kowa, were in the kitchen at this time of day; they wouldn’t be on the third floor anyway, he had not had that opened up, plenty of room below for Jed and himself. A man entered the room with a purposeful stride. He was ample of jowl, slightly opulent at waist­ line; he had the flinty eyes of an ,eagle who can stare straight'at the sun. A sense of force was his out­standing characteristic. “Here I am, Made. That Jap out­ side wanted to how me in, but I shooed him off.” Inspector Bill Har­ rison’s voice was surprisingly soft with a persuasive inflection. “Glad you’ve come, Inspector. This is my friend Jed Stewart.” Inspects Harrison nodded. “How are you, Mr. Stewart. Does he know about the silver, Mark?” He low­ered himself into a deep chair and accepted a cigar. “Yes, he’s staying here to help me—us solve the mystery.” “What else have .you lost?” “Why do you think we’ve lost any­ thing else?” “Would you two city guys come to this burg to stay just to find a lot of silverware?” “It’s more than mere silverware; the pieces are antiques of great value.” '■ Inspectcr Harrison pulled himself from the enticing OTimson depths to his feet. “All right, Mark, have it your own way, but-I ain’t mixin’ up in a case where folks are holding out on me. I work best when the interested party works with me. Get that?” Mark’s laugh was quick and dis­ arming.. “Hold everything, Bill Harrison; you can’t walk out on us like that. Sit down again. Jed, tell him what Mrs. Gregory told us about the will she witnessed. You understand, In­ spector, that there may be nothing to it—so it’s off the record.” “Say, Mark, do you suppose I climbed up on the force by talking my head off? I play the rules. SpiU it, Mt. Stewart.” Stewart repeated Mrs. Gregory’s astonishing announcement that she had witnessed a will of Mary Amanda Dane’s of a date later than the wiU allowed; told of the decision of Mark and himself to turn de­ tectives and of their absolute un- success to date. Inspector Bill Harrison blew a perfect smoke ring. “Did Mrs. Gregory say there was anyone else present but Mrs. Dane and the other witnesses when she signed?” “No.” Mark Trent’s answer was nothing short of explosive. The inspector’s soft grudging laugh, in such marked contrast to his bird-of-prey eyes, brought guilty color to his face. It wasn’t keeping, back information not to teU that Brooke Reyburn had driven in that afternoon just as Mrs. Gregory had driven out from Lookout House, was it? Inspector Bill Harrison rose. With a cigar tucked in one corner of his mouth, he nodded. “FU be going. Guess I’ve got aU the dope. Don’t give that Henri Jacques and his wife the idea that you’ve missed the silver. Let it drop out of their minds. When you have any news, come to headquar­ ters, don’t phone. That reminds me. Know anything about the people who’ve started the filling station here on the point?” “No. But I understand that Henrl Jacques is recommending them.” “Oh, he is? That Henri’s just nat- uraUy helpful, ain’t he? WeU, I must get back.” He added in his soft per­ suasive voice: “Whenever you’re ready to coma across with the name of the other party who was in the neighborhood of Lookout House the day that last will of Mrs. Dane’s was signed, Mark, I’m just across the cause­ way. FU be seeing you.” “Don’t go yet, Bill!” . He mustn’t leave thinking that ha and Jed were holding out on him, Mark realized. Jed Stewart grabbed Mark’s shoulder. “Hold on, Mark. See who’s here!” Mark Trent turned. Surprise brought him to his feet, wiped the smile from his lips. That couldn’t be Lola on the threshold! It was. Hunt, her name was now, Lola Hunt, he must remember. “Say, Mark, I1U be making my get-away." He nodded response to BiU Harri­ son’s mumble. Knew when he opened the door which led to the print room and vanished. Evidently the inspector didn’t care to meet Lola. Who did? With the question Mark thrust his hands hard into his coat pockets and took a step for­ ward. “Wen?” The sound was more a growl than a word, he realized, as he looked steadily at the woman, who had been his wife. Had been. At last he had come to think of her in the past tense. It had taken three years to accompUsh that. The shame, the .humiUation, the unbearable heart­ ache he had suffered in the years they had Uved together swept over him in a sickening fide. What did she want now? She was the type of woman who constantly and everlast­ ingly wanted something. Wasn’t he giving her enough? There had been no justice in his giving her any­ thing, but when she had written him that her current husband was out of a job and that she was hun­ gry, what could he do but make her an allowance tiU the man found work? Her clothing had a cheap smartness; the dark brilliance of her eyes was intensified by artificial shadows; her skin was thick and flushed; her short black hair needed trimming; her mouth drooped at the comers. She pouted Ups which re­ sembled nothing so much as a bloody smear. “Don’t stare at me as if I wer. a ghost from out a purple past, Mark. I told your Jap that I was an old friend, that I wanted to sur prise you. I hate to keep the gentle men standing. Won’t you ask me to sit down?” Without waiting for an answer, she sank into the large chair be­ fore the fire. . “StiU pals you two, aren't you? Funny how much longer friendship lasts between men than love be­ tween a man and woman. Mark, I came here to talk to you. Jed, you may go.” Mark Trent’s hand closed on Stewart’s arm with a grip which turned his nails white. “Jed will stay and hear what you have to say. Surely we can have no secrets from the man who saw us through the divorce court.”She shrugged. “AU right with me. Fve-nothing to lose. Thought you might object to having what I say get on the air.” “Methinks the lady is implying that I’m a gossip.” (T O BB CONTOfVSDl IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAy I CHOOL L e s s o n By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institttte of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for September S GOD REQUIRES SOCIAL JUSTICE. LESSON TEXT—Leviticus 19:1-18. 32-37. GOLDEN TEXT—As ye would that men should do Io you, do ye also to them likewise. Luke 6:31. "PRIM ARY TOPIC-At Harvest Time.JUNIOR TOPIC—At Harvest Time. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Championing the Rights of Others. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —My Resonsibiliiy for Social Justice. Labor Day—in this year of our Lord 1937—looks out upon a world deeply divided in opinions of what is right and what is wrong In the relationship between capital and la­ bor. Political and economic leaders are talking much of social justice, of a planned economy in which all shaU have a full share of the prod­ ucts of labor. Surely, we would aU agree that there should be only kindness and justice iii aU such deaUngs of man with man. But how to accomplish that result in a world of selfishness and sin, that indeed is the question. Unfortunately, many of those in the church who have greatly stressed social relationships have forgotten that the true foundation for such teaching and living is the preaching of the gospel of re-, demption. In reaction to their im­ possible position, others who have faithfuUy preached the necessity of' regeneration have forgotten to stress the need of the expression of regenerated life in the social rela­ tionships of man. We need God- given balance, with a proper re-, flection of gospel truth in honest and helpful ffving. God wants his peo­ ple to show that they belong to him by I. Froviding for the Poor and Needy (w . 9, 10, 14, 15). - When Jesus said, “Ye have the poor always with you” (Matt. 26:11), he referred to one of the responsibilities which thoughtful and considerate men have always glad­ ly borne, but which has been a con­stant problem to both individuals and nations. We have dealt with it in our day on a broad and supposed­ ly scientific basis, but those who are closest to it are quick to admit that we have even now an imperfect solution. In the days of Israel the poor were fed by the purposeful leaving of gleanings in the field— which the needy were free to gather as their own. Thus they had the joy of helping themselves even as they were being helped by others, and, in the final analysis, by God him­ self. II. Guarding Another’s Reputation (w . 16-18). Gossip is a destructive means of breaking down the good standing of another. It is a sin aU too com­ mon in our day, even within the circle of God’s own people. Tale­bearing and evil-speaking are a blight on our social and religious life. We should put them away. Akin to this common and awful sin is the bearing of grudges and the seeking for revenge, neither of which serves any good purpose. III. Honoring the Aged (v. 32). Old - age pensions undoubtedly have their place in our compUcated social life, but it is evident that they would be entirely unnecessary if men and women had in the fear of God honored “the hoary head” and “the face of the old man,” even as God gave command to Israel. IV. Loving the Stranger (w . 33, 34). ' The man who knows what it is to have been a stranger, and to meet with love and protecting care, should never forget to go and do likewise. Living, as many of us' do, in great cities makes this some­ what of a problem, and yet one sometimes wonders whether the bustling city is not often kinder to the stranger than the Uttle com­ munity, which makes him feel like an “outsider.” V. Being Honest In Bnriness (w . 11-13, 35, 36). No stealing, no false swearing, no defrauding, no withholding of wages, for aU these things dishonor or “pro­fane the name of thy God.” A good motto to hang up behind the counter or over the desk in a business house is found in the words of verses 35 and 36. False bottoms, trick scales, short measure—oh, yes, they are against the city, ordi­ nance, and you wiU be fined if you are caught. But remember, they are also an abomination in the sight of the Lord. The closing verse of our lesson reiterates that important tru(Ji. In carrying out the tenets of social justice we are not simply being humane and kind. We are observ­ ing the statutes and ordinances of the Eternal One, him who says, "I' am Jehovah.” Being One in Faith It Is good to know that in what­ ever country we are found, and under whatever sky, we are, through faith in the divine Saviour, members In the same body, sheep In fiie same fold, children of one home. 1 Pay Up Onr Debts Debt comes under the eighth com­ mandment. It hangs a millstone round the neck of the man or wom­ an who incurs it. It corrodes hon­esty. . - -r -------- Fine Feathers for Three SEW-YOUR-OWN wouldn’t be your weather prophet for the world, but you know, Milady, and so does S-Y-O, that it’s always fair weather when good fashions get to­ gether. Which brings us to today’s three sparkling new frocks—a whole crowd of style for the pretty part of any man’s family. A Fan Frock. Rain, nor gloom, nor a flat tire (either kind), can dampen the spir­ its of the girl who wears this buoy­ ant, young sports frock (above left) on .her daily rounds—be they on the fairway, the campus, behind the counter, or merely from piUar to post. You can easily see why it’s a winner: a button-aU-the-way front, the matched collar and gen­ eral shipshape styling make it just that. It’s surefire in acetate, or silk crepe. Here’s to Mothers. Sew-Your-Own loves nothing more than catering to mother’s wardrobe needs. The frock above (center) is for aU mothers: old sweet ones, young darling ones, yes, even for mothers-to-be. It is easy to run up, easy to do up, and best of aU, easy to look at. Smart simple lines make it a favorite of women who demand more than a passable appearance when they’re “just at home.” Little Brown Girl. An aU-over suntan is her forte, and many sunny days are ahead for young Miss Fortunate whose mommy chooses to interpret the fetching model at the right. A scallop-edged waist front accentu­ ated by frou-frou trim is right down her avenue, and a gored skirt, that’s second to none for class, fits into her scheme of things to a T. Mother, why not make one dressy version, as pictured, anoth­ er finished differently for school? (Perhaps with a simple braid trim) Rayon prints, gingham, or sheer wool, wiU do nicely as the material. The Patterns. Pattern 1249 is designed for sizes 14 to 20 (32 to 42 bust).

New Yarit State ta Erect JtfOO1MO tepkitteatre at "Nation's Fair if 193T’ ^■K sII^wnS • 'U j wJ j f a ® ii * NEW YORK (Special).—The State of New York, it is disclosed in architectural drawings made public, will be represented officially at the New York World’s Fair of 1939 by a $1,600,000 combined marine amphi­ theatre and exhibit building of many distinctive features largely designed for the presentation of master stage spectacles and compelling exhibits by state departments and 62 counties. The accompanying photograph shows how a total of 16,500 spectators can be afforded unobstructed view of an island stage of magnificent proportions set 100 feet off­ shore in an exposition lagoon and to be screened, be­ tween acts, by sheets of water blown by compressed air from the lake and made doubly effective by the projec­ tion upon them of light and color. Above and behind the tier of seats shown is a broad promenade 800 feet long which will afford a view of the whole exposition and the 280 acres of lake-shore amusement zone. The insert shows the exhibit pavilion facade and the forward position of the grand reception hall-above which will be a circular auditorium seating 1000 persons. Under the amphitheatre, on two floor levels, 70,000 square feet of space is provided for New York State exhibits. The New York State Legislature this spring appro­ priated $2,200,000 for official participation in the $125,- 000,000 exposition. Enactment provides for the building, for a $250,000 exhibit and for $350,000 maintenance operation. Contracts for construction of the dual pur­ pose structure, a permanent addition to the site, will be let soon in public bidding by prequalified bidders. AdmfoistratorY Notice.

Tne editor of today has to get his nose down to the grindstoue and keep it there sixteen hours per day and 365 days iri the vear or he falls by the wayside. There are men who quit work Saturday night and rest nntil Monday morning'. Teey lay aside business cares at < or 6 o’clock every evening and do not resume them until 7 or 8 the next morning. Not so with your editor. He has no elegant leisure He kno.ws no hours,-no Sunday, no night. When he goes to a party or to church or on an alleged plea­ sure trip it is all in the lineof duty. Withal your editor man is a cheer ful, long suffering soul, going a- bout doing good in his humble way. He returns good for evil. Rewrites long puffs of church sociable and in return therefor accepts a chunk of cake that would sink an iron, clad. He notes the arrival of all babies In the neighborhood and eternally perjuries his soul in tell­ ing how pretty they are. He re . oices with the gay and mourns with the say. He booms every en­ terprise which makes his commun­ ity rich and goes about himself clothed in gunnysack coats and one suspender. He glories over the fortune of his neighbot and meek­ ly eats his own repast of boiled corn cobs and colored labels off tomato He can write a sermon, an account of a prize fight political speech, an obituary notice, poetry, split wood, wash dishes, preside at c'amp meeting, curry horses, quote law or gospel, or anything eljj Et a aaeaicat’s notice. The First Year. The first vear of everything is always the hardest. For instance— The first year of married life, when you don’t know whether yon can go out nights as before or whether she can make you stay in. The first year a girl goes with the boys, when she doesn’t know whether it’s her face or figure or fortune that brings ’em around. By the end of the year she knows a lot of things she didn’t learn at school, school. The first year of the baby, when you have to get up nights and lose your sleep and temper, and wish you were a bachelor; and no mat­ ter wbat baby wants, you must get it. After the first year, baby crawls around and*he!ps himself, general Ir to the very things be shouldn't have The first year vour mother-ia law comes to stay with you—a subject too painful for comment. Tbe first year one pays an in­ come tax, when its hard to save out of the income to pay tbe tax. The first year you own a car, when you can’t decide whether.to buy gasoline or groceries, but the instalment man keeps you from buying either. The first year one is a millionaire —but as we bave not yet enjoyed that experience, we are usable to say-wbat it is like. Nevertheless, we are willing to try it.—Ex. Tall Cora? Iowa Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet. Iow8 and Wisconsin, for years and years bragging about tbe tail corn which is raised in the two states, perhaps haven’t heard about the tall corn which grows in Surry, actual measurements having revealed stalks towering upward to more than 17 feet,- making it necessary for har­ vesters to either cut down the stalks with a cross cut saw or else use a ladder to gather the roastingears. Tbe Ararat river valley farm of t W. E.

Two years ago the Southeast Public Service Co , owners of tbe local telephone system, which is now the Central Electric & Tele­ phone Co , sent a man to Yadkin- ville and inaugurated a 24 hour service. 3 At that time the telephone rep res;-ntative promised the users here that by 1937 they would install ; dial system, or at least a “lift’ system, in Yadkinville. either one of which would eliminate tbe ring' iog of the telephone when making calls. Since that time smaller towns than Yadkinville, bave been given tbe dial system in this section and Yadkinville users are still clinging to the anc'ent method of "ringing’’ their telephones here have practi­ cally doubled during that period. Yadkinville users are paying a high price for telephone service and they are entitled to a modern system.— Yadkin Ripple. Making Investments. We bave come to the conclusion that it is bad business nowadays to take stock in any kind of stock. Even livestock is being butcbard. If all the tales of stock salesman were true, you could take ten dol lars, buy their stock and in ten days or so be Tich enough to make a bid on Muscle Shoals and beat Henry Ford out of it. About tbe only way to make money out of stock is to start a printing and print the share certificates lor the pro* moters. Even then, you’d better get your money in advance. As a general rule, tbe most you ever realize on tbe alluring investments offered you by glibtongued sales men is what a sucker you were to buy the stuff. Better save your money and. subscribe it to some humanitarian use, - like promoting the use of digitalis boodlebugs. A Disgraceful Appoint­ ment. Lead us to the gallant husband, the modern chevelier, tbe cavalier and chesterfield combined in one— Governor Bibb Graves, of Alabama. Wben a vacancy occurred in the post of United StatesSenator from that state what did this Klucker Govet- nor do but name his wife to the va­ cancy. He gives as his excuse that she is ''well qualified” and he named her for the short term in order to give the field of aspirants an even chance in the race. It is one of the most disgraceful appo:ntments ever made in tbe country and we are shamed that it occurred in the South. It is bad enough for a wife to be ap­ pointed Senator to succeed her dead husband as was the case of Senator Caraway of Arkansas and Senator Long of Louisiana, and the election of a Representative to succeed her husband as was the case of Mrs. Kahn in California and Mrs. Rogers' in Massachusetts bnt for a Governor to deliberatly fly in the face uf es­ tablished conventions and name his wife to the high office of Senator cannot be explained away and should not be tolerated but it cannot be helped until election time rolls a- round when it U to be hoped that the sane people of Alabama will bury Governor Bibb Graves and Senator Dixie Graves, his wife, in political oblivion. It is to be noted that before the appointment of Mrp, Graves was made that .tbe Govern* or and his wife visited tbe White Houseand got the advice of Presi* dent Roosevelt just as, Governor Browning did before he appointed a Senator from Tennessee. Roosevelt is not only running tbe government but is attempting to dictate the ap­ pointment .and election of Senators and in the two cases in which be has had tbe opportunity he has named Uie appointees.—Ex. Noted for Oysters, Sieges Bergen-op-Zoom, an old, Dutch town, is noted for its oysters and the sieges against it. Some Early History About 125 years ago a man t>y the name of Sainer, is said to have buiit the first house, dug the first well and built tbe first grist mill in Davie countv. This house and chimney was sti!l standing a lew years ago. and was located two miles north of Advance, and owned by the late E. E. Vogler. The nouse built by Sainer was considered a fine one in those days It was built of huge logs and is a lasting monument to the builder. The sills *were made from large trees and were dressed with an axe. It was a weather-boarded bouse with four rooms. The boards were put on with shop nails with a head on only one side. The boards were' nailed to fouf-by fours, the last mentioned being pegged to the logs with large wooden pins. The boards were lapped at tbe ends instead of making a square joint. The large fire place and chimney were inter esting to look at. The brick were as hard as stone and seemingly would last forever showing that the people in that generation did things well. It is said that many people irom a great distance came in their carriages to see this home and es­ pecially the well, or bo'.e in tbe ground, as they called it. The mill mentioned, the first of its kind, in Davie, was known as the “Old Mud Mill,” and drew a large pat­ ronage from a great distance. The above history was taken irom an old copy of The Datfie Re­ cord, printed many years ago. We do not know whether tbe old house is still standing “Mud Mill,” lo­ cated near Coruatzer, was doing business up to about 25 years ago, but little signs are left today of the old mill or dam, which were on Dutchman Creek, five miles north east of MocksviUe. Auto Deaths For 1937? What’s What About So- Juries Responsible For Damage Done. Judge Clawson Williams, who for twelve years, has been solicitor in the Fourth Judicial Districtof North Carolina, and who held bis first term of court in Smithfield, Johnstcn county, recently, following bis re* cent appointment to the Judgeship, delivered a charge to the jury at that term., which has been termed one of the best ever heard. He began his charge with citations from history saying that the origin of the Grand Jury was not known, that the first, record reference was that of 973 B; C. Formerly the mem­ bers served not only as an investi* gating body, but also as witnesses and judge, he said. After reminding them of their high obligation and their duty not only to bring offenders to trial, but to protect the innocent from unre» sonable pr< secution, and citing va­ rious causes that fostered lawless' ness, he launched into the subject of highway accidents and drunken driV' ers. Telling of his own narrow escape when, after he had driven off the highway and stopped his car to a* void being struck by one, he was missed by only a few inches, be said, “They make straight fo r you You’ve got to face death to know What a menace they are. Those re ‘sponsible for turning them loose are responsible for the damage they do. Referring to the mix-up in the al­ coholic laws in tbe State, he said, “There has never been a law in the world ,in a thousand years that can' control it, you had just as well talk about controling rattlesnake?. I think we would be better off if every drop of liquor were thrown into the ocean and the recipe for making it lost, 1 “It takes taxes off land and puts them on life and character.

It makes no difference in what stage Tomorrow, seventy-two Americans will hop into automolis. press the starter, shift gears, twirl the steer­ ing wheel and roll down the road on an errand, a vacation trip or a cool­ ing spin through tbe park. They will not come back. Before their rides are over, they will all be dead. Tomorrow, fifty-four Americans will step from curbs, from behind street cars or onto the edge of high­ ways to die instantlv, with the shrieking of breaks in their ears, or slowly, in pain on hospital beds. Tbe same day—and every day this year—more than 300 men. women and children will be lifted from tbe twisted wreckage, their bodies so crushed and broken that they will never mend. TOLL: Such is the average daily life price America will pay for its estimated 29,000,000 autos in 1937. The 1917 the death list of the tion’s roads has risen relentlessly— higher, higher, higher. Twenty years ago, 10,000 people died in or under automobiles. Ten years later the number had more than doubled. Last year 38.500 perished on the na­ tion’s roads In the first four months of 1937, the dearh tull rocketed 21 p *r cent over the corresponding oeriod a year ago. If that rate «,f increase continues, the grisly total may swell the vear to 50.000 human beings. Horse Trading By Court Officers. Down at Wilson last Friday the high sheriff was let off on three ser­ ious counts by the horse trading oiethod which is sometimes reverted to by courts, and which is one big reason why respect for courts is cn the wane.. This particular case was nolle prossed by the solicitors after the sheriff had tendered his resignation. The sheriff was charged with two cases of drunken driving, an another of assault upon the arresting officers. Evidently the sheriff is a big wig in the political world of Wilson coun ty, and very probably the “good of the party” was considered in the trade that was made. If the charges were not true, the sheriff ought to have stood trial and let the courts cleat his name of the stigma which had the precedent of having been removed from office a little less than a year ago by the Su­ perior Court after he had been charged with public drunkenness. If tbe charges were true, [and the presumption of most people will be that they were] then there is no legi­ timate reason under the sun why the high sheriff should not have betn tried, and sentenced like any other criminal Looks fishy from this long distance And it certainly does not make the average person look with any great­ er fovor on justice as it is meted out in this day.—Transylvania Times.

QUESTION AND ANSWER. Question: How many forms of taxes are there in North Carolina under the Social-Security Act* Answer: There are four seperate and distinct taxes; (I) an income tax on employees, wbich is now one per cent on the first $3,000 earned; (2) an excise tax on employers of one or more. There is also one per cent at the present time on the first $3 ,000. The Federal tax on employers of 8 ir more, for the year 1937, is two per cent of total wages. There is also a tax imposed by the North Carolina Unemployment Compensation Com­ mission of one and eight-tentbs per cent, based on total wages. The Federal tax just mentioned allows an employer of eight or more: to 'deduct up to 90 per cent of the amount of this tax provided such deduction is paid into the|Unemployment fund of the State/.;^: - / Q lestionr’^Kfiiling out my appl> cation for a SwlSiftSecuri ty account number I gave my correct'age. with the understanding that this informa­ tion would be kept secret from my' ' employer.

Members of 75th congress, happy in adjourn­ ment at last, file out of the Capitol in Washington. -Z&tnout WPlcLutJT SUMMARIZES THE WORLD’SSUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK A Western Newspaper Union. Hooray! School Is Out! EVEN if there were more than a few threats of “Wait’ll I get you after school,” the nation's lawmak­ ers were happy as schoolboys at the end of the term, as the first ses­ sion of the Seventy-fifth congress . came to a close at last. The sena­ tors and representatives, fairly bogged down with months of wran­ gling, much of it futile, through the intCIerable Washington summer, were glad of release, even if such release carried the implication that there might be a special session in October. But the legislators left the Capitol in the realization that the session just ended will probably become known less for what it did than what it did not do. Four out of five of President Roosevelt’s major “must” meas­ ures it did not pass; the fifth it passed only with reservations which put a new complexion upon it. Congress did not pass the. wages and hours bill. After being passed by the senate in unacceptable form, with the understanding that it would, be improved in the house,-the bill was still buried with the house rules committee when the bell rang. Congress did not pass the new crop control bill which includes Sec­ retary Wallace’s “ever-normal granary” project. It was agreed that this legislation be brought up during the first week of the January ^session or the special session. 3*It did not pass the President’s de­ sired legislation for re-organization of the executive department. Itdid vote the White Hotise; six new sec­ retaries, though. It did not pass the proposal to increase the membership of the Su- preme court by six justices, who would apparently be selected with a view to insuring the constitution­ ality of New Deal measures. By a vote of 70 to 20 it permitted a sub­ stitute measure, which would have added the justices one at a time, to die a natural death in committee. In addition to failing to enact this legislation demanded by the chief executive, congress defeated the Norris bill to create seven "little TVA’s,” and the crop insurance bill, proposing a revolving fund of $100,000,000. The senate failed to ratify the sanitary convention with Argentina, modifying the restric­ tions on imports of meat and live stock. However, congress did: Pass the Wagner low-cost housing bill, but with restrictions on the unit cost which will, it is charged, make the program virtually unavailable for New York and other large cities which constitute the principal slum problems. The $526,000,000 measure was on the President’s "must” list. Pass a sugar quota which may be vetoed by the President. He threat­ ened to veto such a bill if it limited the output of Puerto Rico and Ha­ waii to 126,000 and 29,000 short tons annually, and it does just that. Extend the neutrality law to pro­ hibit the shipment of arms, am­ munition and implements of war to belligerents or extension of credit to them. Pass the Guffey act, creating a commission to fix prices and control the marketing of bituminous coal. Appropriate $1,500,000,000 for work relief in the current fiscal year. Pass a bill to outlaw personal holding companies and other al­ leged means’ of tax evasion. Passed a reform bill for the lower courts, designed to speed appeals to the Supreme court and permit the Department of Justice to intervene in cases involving .the constitution­ ality of a statute. Ratified the Buenos Aires "peace treaties,” which include a consulta­ tive pact for common course of ac­ tion when war anywhere threatens the American republics. Extended the CCC three years. The President had asked that it be made permanent. Passed a farm tenancy bill to help share croppers buy their own farms. This provides for the ex­ penditure of $10,000,090 the first year, $25,000,000 the second year and $50,000,000 in succeeding years. Appropriations for the session’to­ taled $9,389,488,893; this was $946,- 910,379 less than for the 1936 session, which included $2,237,000,000 for the soldiers’ bonus. Guffey's Unholy Three SJNCE the fight on the President’s court plan began in the senate, it has become more and more obvious that a serious split impends in the Democratic parly ranks. It was not a secret that certain of the sena­ tors and representatives were marked for extinction, fish fries and harmony dinners notwithstanding. But few expected the bombshell that broke when Sen. Joseph F. Guf­ fey of Pennsylvania, in a radio speech just: before the /end of the session, openly named-Senators O’- Mahoney of Texas, Burke of Ne­ braska and Wheeler of Montana as senators who would not return to Washington after the next elections. Burke summed up reply of the three.amen attacked when he said that ijpGuffey’s statement were true “we,migiit' justfas rwdlforget about Jefiferson Island' and harmony din­ ners and get ready for a real bat­ tle.” WheUler, on the senate floor, said that if the "Democratic bosses . . . want, to drive us out of the Democratic party they will not have any difficulty in doing so. I say to you*IGuffey) that if you nominate your governor of .Pennsylydhia or yourself for President of the United States, you will not have to drive us out.”—-X— Admiral Yamell Proterfs UNCLE SAM was brought nearer than ever to the unofficial war in North China when a shell ex­ ploded on the deck of the Augusta, flagship of the United States’ Asi­ atic fleet, killing Freddie John Fal- gout, a seaman, and wounding 18 others of the crew. The ship was lying at anchor in the Whangpoo riv­ er in the heart of the International Settlement of Shanghai. It was im­ possible to determine whether the shell had been fired by the Chinese or Japanese. Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, com­ mander of the fleet, warned the gov­ ernments of both nations against shellfire over American and foreign warships. The President and the State department were inclined to leave diplomatic overtures to the military, naval and diplomatic offi­ cers in China. The President de­ clared that under the circumstances accidents such as the one which beset the Augusta were bound to occur. Premier Sees Long War PREM IER FUMIMARO KONOE I declared in Tokyo that there would be no settlement of the un­ declared war until Japan had “pun­ ished” the Chinese army. He ad- vmitted that he believed the fighting would be of long duration. The Japanese foreign office was said to have rejected a British plan to establish a neutral zone in Shang­ hai. A spokesman said the Chinese soldiers must withdraw far enough beyond the limits of the demilitar­ ized zone of. 1932 to make ah attack impossible. The government’s aim was expressed as a desire to restore amicable relations between Japan and China, but to chastise the Chi­ nese militarists. Franco Batters ‘Iron Ring* T OYALIST Spain’s second "iron I-'-ring” — the one around San­ tander. on the northern coast—is proving no more invulnerable than its first—-the fortifications about Bil­ bao.

General Franco’s forces have captured several important neighboring towns in Villacarriedo, considered an important sector. In a communique the national de­ fense ministry at Valencia admitted that the government had m et defeat in the fighting about Santander, but claimed the victory had cost the in­ surgents heavily in men. It also claimed that an Italian sergeant,, taken prisoner, reported that four Italian divisions were fighting with the rebels on the Santander front. w h a t The State of the World.

ONLY a few weeks ago the front pages were carrying • dis­ patches saying the adjustment of Great Britain’s defaulted debt was just around the corner. Economists and financiers had discussed terms of settlement. Figures were quoted —mainly figures calling for big re­ ductions on our part, but never mind that. They were figures anyhow. Lately the papers have been, strangely silent on the subject. Per­ haps-you remember the old story told on the late John Sharp Wil­ liams, who frequented a game at Washington where sportive states­ men played poker for heavy stakes —mostly with those quaint little fic­ tional products called I. O. U.’s as mediums of exchange. Early one morning a fellow^ sena­ tor met the famous Mississippian coming from an all-night session. “I certainly mopped up,” he pro­ claimed. “I won $3,000—and what’s more, $8.75 of it was in cash.” * * • Autumn Millinery.

For autumn, he predicts a quaint number with a slanted peak fifteen inches high, which, I take it, will make the wearer look like a refugee trying to escape from un­ der a collapsing pagoda.

Natwnal Topics Literpreted KfttSonat Press BnIldInN by WilIiaAn Bruckart Washington, D, Washington.—The Supreme court of the United States has a new mem- _ ber, and to thatCourtNow extent, PresidentLiberal Roosevelt has suc­ ceeded in reorgan­ izing the highest court in the land. With the nomination by the Presi­ dent of Sen. Hugo L. Black, Ala­ bama Democrat, and confirmation of that nomination by the senate, we find a Supreme court that stands for liberal interpretations of the Constitution by a vote of - six to three on most questions.- While it is important, of course, to , know that Senator Black, the new justice, is nearly 100 per cent New Dealer, it is much more im­ portant to the country as a whole to think of Mr. Black hereafter as be­ ing fully aware of the reasons why he was selected to the lifetime job at $20,000 per year. It is likewise important to remember the reasons why Mr. Black was selected when one examines the so-called balance of power in the Supreme court. It seems to me that Mr. Black will enter upon his duties next Oc­ tober under one of the gravest handicaps that ever was set upon the shoulders of a Supreme court justice. Because of this handicap, and because of the reasons lying back of his appointment, I greatly fear that Senator Black can never be a great member of a great tribunal. In the first instance, his record in the senate, covering a period of ten years, has demonstrated to most everyone that he has a keen mind, but the fact remains, and I think it cannot be disputed, the new justice lacks the poise which always has been an attribute of outstanding judges. I hope he has the qualities that will enable him to grow and become a good justice from the le­ gal standpoint; I hope this for the sake of the country as a whole and for the sake of the judicial struc­ ture of our government. But after observing him as an independent writer over the last ten years I think I would be unfair to those who read these lines if I did not charac­ terize Mr. Black’s as a decidedly mediocre appointment. Again, the fact that nearly all Washington observers and a very great number of officials do not ex­ pect much legal wisdom from the new justice is traceable more to the conditions under which Mr. Black received the honor than to Mr. Black himself.» * * Let us examine the reasons that lie back of Mr. Roosevelt’s selec-. tion of Mr. Black. In this case, as in the case of many lesser appoint­ ments, the motives, the politics, the underlying objectives have not been stressed anywhere. In order to un­ derstand the situation, it is neces­ sary to review several years of his­ tory on one line and it is likewise necessary to examine various inci­ dents marking Mr. Black’s career in the senate. Out of this maze of detail, certain significant and more or less definite conclusions appear. Along the one side of the examina­ tion we find Senator Black consist­ ently supporting President Roose­ velt’s New Deal programs where- ever and whenever he found them. We note as well intolerance on his part for those persons and those arguments running counter to New Deal policies. Thirdly, we cannot overlook various senate investiga­ tions conducted by Senator Black for we know that in most of these he was carrying out- orders from the. White House. That is, Senator Black was engaged in expeditions of smear, of muckraking, and in need­ less exposure by way of senate in­ vestigations, in order that if there were flashbacks someone other than the President would be in the white light of criticism. Casting aside many of the as­ saults on Mr. Black’s personal rec­ ord, and turning to the other phase of the situation that culminated in his selection for the court, it must be plain to anyone knowing all the facts that President Roosevelt had a. definite purpose in selecting the Alabaman. This phase also requires a bit of review.• • • When the President suddenly de­ manded that congress reorganize .. the Supreme court C o u rt S p lit and make provi- Party sion for the ap­ pointment of six new justices of his own choosing, he created an enormous split in the Democratic party. He - alienated many sections of the South and at the same time provided many old- line southern Democrats with am­ munition which they could use to justify their positions in oppos­ ing Mr. Roosevelt on many other phases of legislation. I do not mean to say that all of the southern ' Democrats turned against ffie President because that is untrue. There were possibly a half dozen senators from tile Soutii and an equal proportion of repre­ sentatives who are sticking by the President and will continue to sup­ port him. That fact, however, does QOt alleviate the condition.' Senator Black was among those who stayed with the President through thick and thin. He never was an exceedingly popular man among his colleagues. Add to this the capacity of using harsh lan­ guage in the extreme and one finds that he was not the most popular choice among the senators for the job to which he has been elevated. From various quarters, therefore, I have heard observations to the ef­ fect that Mr. Roosevelt appointed Senator Black with full knowledge of the facts I have related. He could and did slap at some mem­ bers of his own party for failing to go along with him on the court packing'plan and some other New Deal legislation like the wages and hours program. He showed certain groups and cliques in the senate and house that he is boss. Then, in selecting a man from the deep South undoubtedly the Presi­ dent figured it would be influential in pulling back to him some of the support which he certainly has lost among local politicians in the south­ ern states. Views of this test of po­ litical strategy differ greatly, but whether he gains or whether he loses on that score, there certainly is ground for belief that the reasons were as I have given them. There is also another reason for the appointment of Mr. Black. Of course, everyone realized that Mr. Roosevelt would name a man of New Deal leaning. Moreoever, ev­ eryone recognized that it would be strictly a personal appointment as far as the President was concerned. So the stage was set for appoint­ ment of a man of more or less radical tendencies—but no one ex­ pected the choice that was made. Now, the senate long has operated almost as a high class group. Ev­ ery senator considers his colleagues with great deference and respect. This is senatorial courtesy. Does it not seem quite reasonable then, to consider that Mr.- Roosevelt went into the senate to pick a new justice with the full realization that the nomination would be debated in gen­ tlemanly fashion; that senatorial courtesy would tone down the barbs and the darts and the personal at­ tacks that would probably obtain if the name of a private citizen were submitted? I cannot know the Pres­ ident’s mind, obviously, yet I have heard these conclusions stated so many times that they cannot be wholly disregarded. New Dealers consider the appointment clever from the standpoint of senate de­ bate, and those opposed to the New Deal called it a sm art trick. So there is very little disagreement. * » * I called attention earlier to the ef­ fect of the conditions under, which •a c i-jw Mr* Hlackl entersJHay Souairy the court; I thinkCourt examination of them is v i t a l . They are important for the reasons I have set down and they are im­ portant from another standpoint. It is pure conjecture, of course, but I am going to mention the pos­ sibility that Senator Black’s entry into the court membership may pos­ sibly create resentment among the other justices. Each of them will certainly know about all Uf the va­ rious undercurrents, the gossip, and the more or less obvious facts in­ volved in the appointment. I have been wondering then whether the other members of the court, even liberal members like Justices Stone, Brandeis, and Car- dozo, may not feel that Mr. Roose- velt has subjected- them - t o undigni­ fied terms. I mean by that, is there not a possibility of them feeling that the President is seeking to gain de­ cisions along his own line of reason­ ing rather than on the basis of jus­ tice and law?- As I said, this is pure conjecture. Nevertheless, I think it will be agreed that it is a logical thought, because the Supreme court justices, after all, are just as human as you and anyone else. Carrying this thought a little fur­ ther, What will be the effect upon the old conservative members of the court like Justices McReynolds and Butler and Sutherland? Will they re­ gard the Black appointment as a di­ rect thrust at them personally? H' they do, it seems to me the logicffi result would be to make them more conservative than they now are. I do not mean to imply dishon­ esty or unfairness to any member of the court. I know some of them personally and I respect every one of them. I merely call attention to these things as among the possible results in the appointment-of a man to the Supreme court who may have been not the worst appointment pos­ sible but surely, all conditions con­ sidered, it was far from the best Politically, the Black appointment is likely'to enter into the 1938 con­ gressional, elections, There seems no way by which the m atter can be avoided as an issue. It is - only through those elections of senators and representatives that the people can express themselves, and nearly everyone agrees now that the name of Justice Black will enter into nu­ merous state and district political battles.® Western XewiMOC'Vnloa Alice Faye A * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I STAR I I DUST I * jMLovie • K aJio * ★★★By VIRGINIA VALEA** SAMUEL GOLDWYN is tak­ ing bows again for succeed­ ing where many other motion picture producers have failed.

At Mount Kisco, where Frances Farmer had made a tremendous hit, Anna Mae made a decorative and charming “Princess Turandot” in a play adapted from the opera of that name. Dorothy Day, one of the famous clothes models who worked in Walt­ er Wanger’s "Vogues of 1938” came to New York for a brief vacation, and when she returned to Hol­ lywood, she learned that she had a brand new name. Mervyn Le Roy, who gave her a. contract to make pictures for him decided that Doro­ thy Day was not a good name be­ cause there are several actresses and two authors already using it. He is going to bill ber as Vicki Les­ ter, the name of the character that Janet Gaynor played in "A Star Is Born.” —•X— When you saw “I Met Him in Paris” you must have wondered why Robert Young fled from such an attractive wife, as the one played by Mona Barrie. Well, she explained all when she arrived in New York recently to rehearse for a stage engagement. It seems that there were long scenes that explained their differences, but the picture was too long, and Mona landed on the cutting room floor. She hopes for better luck in the picture that she just finished, James .Cagney’s ‘‘Some­ thing to Sing About.” She plays a comedy role, a sort of female Mischa Auer, and she had so much fun doing it that she doesn’t see- why Grand National had to pay her a salary.

By W ILLIAM C. U T L ET /''V UR country might have pre- v / sented a vastly different scene if, at the turn of the pres­ ent century, the government had been able to foresee the de­ velopment of the telephone; the automobile, the airplane, the motion picture, rayon and radio. Likewise, if we today can fore­ see the future development of some inventions we already have and some we probably will have, then we will be equipped to build for ■ ourselves and our posterity a fuller existence. This, according to the federal na­ tional resources committee, is the reason for its recent 450,000-word report on the “social implications ■of new inventions.” The report, says President Roosevelt, “holds out hope that we can anticipate some of the effects of major inventions and make plans to meet new situations that will arise as these new inven­ tions come into widespread use.” With this White House benedic­ tion, it is expected that the recom­ mendations of the laborious docu­ ment will become a guidepost for the co-ordinated, long-term planning to prevent or reduce future depres­ sions with their economic mal­ adjustments and social upheavals, that characterizes the Kew Deal. Cites Thirteen Inventions. To apply its theories, the commit­ tee recommends that another com­ mittee, to be known as the natural resources board, be created. This would be a sort of “technological telescope,” which would constantly peer into the future and predict what scientific advances would be made. Its qualified observers would be com m issioned to co-ordinate the -work of the many special planning boards which exist in 47 states, 400 counties and 1,100 cities. This board and the many other planning boards throughout the na­ tion ought immediately to concern themselves with the stydy of 13 in­ ventions, the report declares. These are the mechanical cotton picker, air-conditioning equipment, plastics, the photo-electric cell, artificial cot­ ton and woolen-like fibers made from cellulose, synthetic rubber, prefabricated houses, television, !facsimile transmission, the automo­ bile trailer, gasoline produced from coal, steep-flight aircraft planes and tray agriculture. Cr. William F. Ogburn, director ■of research for the report, tells a few of the ways in which govern­ ments, individuals and industries suffered because they failed to fore­ see the development of certain in­ dustries. “Highways are too narrow,” he contends. “The metropolitan area could have been planned better; much crime could have been pre­ vented. Industries could have been located to better advantage.” Here he injected a little of the political philosophy of the present administration. “The growing inadequacies of small local governments could have been foreseen,” he said, “and the transfer of some of their functions to a more capable centralized gov­ ernment would have been facilitat- ■ed. . Century’s Most Important Invention. “The question that naturally arises is: Will the second third of the Twentieth century see the rise of such great industries based on new inventions as was seen in the Brst third? There may very well be equally significant inventions during the next phase o f' our national .growth as in the one just concluded. “For instance, all are agreed that one such invention is the electron tube, said to be the greatest inven­ tion of the Twentieth century. Its most brilliant form is the photo­ electric cell, popularly known as the electfic eye. “This eye sees everything that the human eye can see and more. It is even said to be able to detect certain types of counterfeit money. It will distinguish colors better than human beings can do. “When it is joined with another form of the electron tube, the vacu­ um tube, it becomes able to act on what it sees. Thus it sees a waitress approaching a door with trays in both hands and at once swings the door open for her to pass. “Unlike a human being, it does not suffer from fatigue. For in­ stance, in a factory it can watch the tin cans go by on a belt, pick out the defective ones, letting only the good ones go by. This monotonous work can be done without strain for as long hours as the manager wishes. Find New Uses Constantly. “That it will cause unemployment is obvious, but.it will also lighten the tasks of the workmen. Indeed, it brings the automatic factory and the automatic man one step closer. It may be used to regulate automo­ bile traffic, to measure the density of smoke, to time horse racing, to read, {p perform mathematical cal­ culations. “Hardly a month passes without some new use of the photoelectric cell being reported. Indeed it will require decades to learn the many things this versatile instrument can do. “There are other such new inven­ tions—inventions which will carry the nation on to even greater achievement. during the years to come. “The full effects of artificial fibers have not yet been felt. The influ­ ence of the airplane has just begun. “Even the familiar telephone will have many new and profound ef­ fects, when long distance telephon­ ing becomes moje widespread, upon the distribution of population be­ tween metropolis and smaller city, upon the physical separation of management control from produc­ tion, upon remote controls in gen­ eral. Zhtiler May A lter Living. “The telephone wire may be used to record rtiessages, bulletins, even newspapers, in the home and office. “Nor are the influences of the very common automobile matters of past history either. The new scial and economic unit of population called the metropolitan area, so en­ couraged by the automobile, is in its infancy, while the trailer may be destined to change the habits of living and working of vast numbers Cf the people.” Dr. Ogburn points out that there is little advantage in planning the use or distribution of our natural resurcts unless we know what uses technologists will find for them. We must be able to foresee whether, oil will be made from coal, whether plastics will take .the place of ^rood, whether alcohol will be used as a motor fuel, whether more foodstuffs will be produced chemically. “The nation now faces the second third of the Twentieth century,” he says. “What may be. expected of technological development? “How far-reaching will be the ef­ fects of the mechanical cotton pick­ er? Will the surplus, labor of Uie South flood the northern and west­ ern. cities? Will, the governments One of the most important inven­ tions which will be developed in the next few years is the mechanical cot­ ton picker, shown at left. Another is television; a broadcast is shown above. plan and act in time, once the .spread of this invention is certain? “The influence on negroes may be catastrophic. Farm tenancy will be affected. The political system of the southern states may be greatly altered. “In another field, science has gone far on the road to producing artifi­ cial climate in all its aspects, whjch may have effects on the distribution of population, upon health, upon pro­ duction and upon the transformation of the night into day. Talking Books for Blind. “Then again .television may be­ come widely distributed, placing theaters into millions of homes and increasing even more the already astounding possibilities of propa­ ganda to be imposed on a none too critical human race. “Talking books may come as a boon to the blind, but with revolu­ tionary effects upon libraries and which, together with the talking pic­ ture and television, may affect radi­ cally schools and the educational process. ‘The variety of alloys gives to metals amazing adaptabilities to the purposes of man. ‘The use of chemistry in the pro­ duction of new objects in contrast to the use of mechanical fabrication on the basis of power continues to de­ velop with remarkable rapidity, in the production of oil, of woolen-like fibers, of substitutes for wood, and of agencies of destruction. “So the immediate future will see the application of new scientific dis­ coveries that will bring not only en­ ticing prospects but uncertainties and difficulties as well.” The report continued: “The air- conditioning developments which lower inside temperatures during hot weather may or may not within the next generation ' affect Southern cities and stimulate the growth of factories in warmer regions. ‘Or again, tray agriculture, which produces a high yield per plant when the roots are suspended in a tray of liquid chemicals instead of in the soil, may or may not be used suf­ ficiently to be of much social sig­ nificance within the reader’s life­ time." Technological Unemployment.. The report said that while new - inventions -often save labor and therefore cut down the number d t' jobs, their developments often re­ quire hew industries, creating new; jobs. “The question whether there will be a large amount of unemployment during the next period of business prosperity rests only in part on/the introduction of new inventions and more efficient industrial tech­ niques,” says the report. “For instance, even if industrial techniques remained the same, the volume of production would have to be greater in the future than in 1929 in order to absorb the increase in the working population and keep un­ employment to the level of that date.” One of the greatest necessities for planning in anticipation of the de­ velopment of inventions arises in the time lag between the birth of an invention and its full application, the report declares. It pbints out that for the 19 inventions voted most useful and introduced between .1888 and 1913 the following intervals were an average: Between the time the invention was conceived' (which may have been centuries before) and the first working model or pat­ ent, 176 years; from that point to the first practical use, 24 years; thence to commercial success, 14 years; and to important use, 12 years, making it roughly 50 years from the first real work on the in­ vention. “The time lag between the first development and the full use of an invention is often a period of great social and economic maladjustment, as, for example, the delay in the adoption of workmen’s compensa­ tion and the institution of '"safety first’ campaigns after the introduc­ tion of rapidly moving steel ma­ chines,” the report said. “This lag emphasized the need for planning iq regard to inventions.”■ © Western Newqiaper Colon. By JEANNE GENERAL WAS SCHOOL TEACHER COMETIMES one small incident changes a whole life’s trend, and leads to prominence beyond all previous dreams. We all recall one or two unexpected happenings in our own lives which changed their whole course. John J. Pershing,, who rose to' be general of all the United States army, might have had an entirely different life had he not taken ad­ vantage of a lucky opportunity. He was born in 1860 at Laclede, Mo. His father was boss of a railroad gang and, later, a farmer. John quit school when he was thirteen to work on the farm, digging fence holes, herding sheep, planting corn, all the usual jobs that are the lot of a farm boy. Ambitious to be a law­ yer, he studied night after night. In 1879, he got a job as teacher in Prairie Mount, Mo., and saved most of the $40 per month he re­ ceived to study law at Kirksvillt Normal school. Then came the incident which changed his whole life. Jack Persh­ ing saw an advertisement announc­ ing competitive examinations for West Point. H ehadonlytw o weeks to prepare, but he won the appoint­ ment. At West Point he won prom­ inence as president of his class and as first captain of the corps of ca­ dets. Possessing the characteristics of a perfect soldier, his assignments after graduation, into the army were marked with success. While a military instructor at the Univer­ sity of Nebraska, he resumed his law studies and took his degree. Since the army conducts its own military courts, this gave Pershing an opportunity to combine his busi­ ness love with his soldierly success. When the World war broke out, he was made general of the U. S. army. •• • • FAMED TENOR MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CLERK COMETIMES parents despair un- 1J necessarily about their children. Just because a youngster shows no aptitude for the job his parents may choose for him is no indication that failure awaits him.If John McCormack bad followed the plans of his father-he might have been a Catholic priest. The famous tenor was bom in Athlone, Ireland, in 1884, fourth of eleven children. His father worked in the woolen mills of the town and the- family was very poor. John at­ tended the Catholic schools and was an excellent student, winning a scholarship to college. There he. studied for the priesthood. At an early age John McCor­ mack’s voice showed promise and, at the age of nine he sang in. a school entertainment. Music was not one of the subjects offered at IMlUJi Im wIi.. K L college, and so John had no oppor­ tunity to receive t training for bis voice. It did not‘occur to him at that time that singing would be his profession. However, he did decide against becoming a priest, which must have been a hard blow for his father. But the man did not lack understanding and he encouraged the boy in his desire to. become a civil service clerk. When John failed in the entrance examinations at the school where he would re­ ceive his training, and when given a second chance forgot the appoint­ ment, his father must have truly despaired........... Then it began to dawn on John McCormack that singing was his true vocation. He had loved to sing all his life. He went to Dublin and. -got a job in the Marlborough Street cathedral choir at $125 a year. He began to gain more and more rec­ ognition, sang for recordings of the Edison and. Gramaphone compa­ nies, and eventually became a star, of opera. Today he is known the world over for his golden tenor.®—WHO Service. Prints Tune to School Girl Needs By CHERIE NICHOLAS \/T YRIADS of gay little print frocks wending their way schoolward is the picture fashion is flashing on the screen for fall. There is really no danger of overdoing the print collection for little daugh­ ter, for there are so many varieties of textures and design in the realm of washable prints this season mothers can assemble a wardrobe of prints ranging from playtime and classroom frocks to pretty-pret- ty party dresses, and then not have too many for occasions that may arise. From mother’s standpoint the new print collections should and will prove all that they should be in supplying fabrics which will in­ sure her child the joy of being well-dressed whatsoever the occa­ sion, because fabricists are bring­ ing out cottons and rayons and linens that have the “looks” of choicest challis and fine crepes. The thing that intrigues the little folks in regard to prints is that many of the nicest, prettiest prints have been especially designed for them with pictorial motifs that make direct appeal to childhood. Not only are the patterns charm­ ing to behold but they are in many, instances instructive and entertain­ ing as well. For smaller children there are prints with the letters of the alphabet scattered designed­ ly in allover patterning. Mother Goose figures too, and boats and ships and birds and animals, fruits and flowers done in a way to cap­ ture the fancy of a child. The washable prints developed this season are unique and lovely. It’s a series of perfectly charming prints that we have in mind—ar­ tistic creations each of which has been inspired by a song. There are fifteen designs in this collection nine of which have been adapted to cot­ ton fabrics and six to rayon. The unique part of it is that these theme song designs use titles of copy­ righted songs. What a grand cho­ rus of prints there will be in class­ room, at home and in the highways and byways that little girls tread! during the coming tangy autumn days! Not that children have a monopoly on these intriguing mu­ sical prints for designers are mak­ ing them up into the smartest-ever housecoats, pajamas and daytime dresses for grown-ups. Does your little girl love mu­ sic? If so she’ll adore the beruf- fled frock of new chintz-type print (centered in the illustration) the motif of which is based on "I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles,” a song children know and love. Clever little girl and boy figures holding balloons and other bubble motifs following the position of the notes on the scale with tiny clef signs make the design of this print which is fascinating for young and older folk. The crisp white organdy ruf­ fles and buttons add winsome ac­ cents. The dress to the left is also made of a theme-song “bubble” print. It is a pleasing type for the growing girl. Three narrow ribbon bows po­ sitioned on ribbon crossbars set row and row march soldier-like down the front of the bodice. Pleat­ ed skirt and demure Peter Pan collar complete this smart style. The dress to the right reflects a quaint spirit in the lacings up the front, the close-fitting bodice, and the now-so-fashionable “swing skirt.” Any girl.would love to wear this dress “first day of school.” The scattered daisies is a patterning in­ spired by that familiar song, “Daisy, Daisy, Tell Me Your An­ swer True”^-enough to inspire any little girl wearing this dress to be­ come a prima donna. C Western Newspaper Union. CASUAL COSTUMES SLATED FOR FALL “Look casual,” is' the latest slo­ gan being broadcast to women who are pre-occupied with the question of what to wear for early fall. Al­ though both tailored tweeds and softly-feminine garments will con­ tinue to be style-right for particular occasions, it’s the casual costume that is slated for high-style accept­ ance. Suits are always an early-fell favorite but they were never better calculated to. make women want to cast aside their summer clothes. Al­ ready the shops are beginning, to display scores of casually cut mod­ els ranging; from classic two-piece ensembles complete with blouse and topcoat or fur cape. Colleges Girls in Favor of Low-Heeled Daytime Shoes Increased interest in sports is giv­ en as the chief factor in the college girl’s inclination toward lower heel heights .on daytime shoes but her choice is also influenced by other considerations such as comfort and the suitability of low-heeled foot­ wear to sports clothes. The prevalence of “girls of more than average height” was one of the reasons advanced for the' in­ creased popularity of low and me­ dium-heeled evening shoes. Shaded Stockings Boon to Woman With Bulky Calves The woman with oversized , calves can buy shaded stockings which gradually ,darken in color at the largest part of the leg and thus have a very slenderizing effect. • These stockings shade from a light tan at the foot, and ankle to a dark brown at the calf and upper leg. Forslim-' mer legs, there are stockings of sun­ tan color withfeet of darkbrown. . PLAID TA1LLEUR Bt CBEBIB NICHOLAS Plaid’s the thing for your new fall suit if you are seeking the smartest. The one pictured is of heavy plaid linen. Ifs a real Scotch tartan plaid done, in dark green, dark blue lined with white, red and yellow. Black velvet binds the edges, pocket flaps and cuffs. This makes a stunning costume for early fall and later on! you will be wanting to copy it in plaid wool. We are quite sure you will for these stunning plaid jadcet suits are the “last word” in chic.

The government has decided to loan the farmers nine cents a pound on their cotton this year. With the price swinging downward, it doesn’t look like cotton will be bringing nine cents by the time cotton pick ing begins in Da'vie. At the price cotton goods has been bringing it seems that lint cotton should be bringing at least 15 cents a pound. Nearly 1200 Vaccinated Dr. Lester P. MarHn 1 county physician, reports that a total of about 1200 people in Davie county bave taken the diphtheria and ty pboid vaccination during the past month, with Farmington township just starting the vaccination, which will continue in that township tor four weeks. Dr. Martin vaccinated 570, Dr Garland Green 173. and Dr. S. A. Hard'ng between 550 and 600 This work was done at a total co>t of only $350. The vaccine cost $50, and the doctors were paid 25 cents for each person vaccinated, which amounted to $300. Heretofore, when clinics were held in the coun­ tv. the cost ran to about $1600. Dr. Martin says that Davie stands at the head of the list in number of persons vaccinated, considering the total population of the county. Mrs. Casper Sain.

C- WITH BANNERS SYNOPSIS Brooke Reyburn visits the office of Jed Stewart, a lawyer, to discuss the terms of an estate she has inherited from Mrs. Mary Armanda Dane. Unwittingly she overhears Jed talking to Mark Trent, nephew of Mrs. Dane who has been disinherited . Mrs. Dane had lived at Lookout House, a huge struc­ ture by the sea. built by her father and divided into twcw for her and Mark’s father. Brooke had been a fashion- expert, and Mrs. Dane, a "shut*in," hearing her on the radio, had invited her to call and developed a deep affection tor her. Mark discloses that Mrs. Dane had threatened to disinherit him if he married Lola, from whom he is now divorced. .He says he does not trust Henri and Clotdde Jacques, Mrs. Dace’s servants. He says be is not Interested in an offer of Brooke’s to share the estate with him. Leaving her department store job; Brooke refuses an offer to "go stepping" with Jerry Field, a carefree young man who wants to m arry her. At a family con­ference she learns she must live at Lookout House alone, since Lucette, her younger sister who is taking her job, her brother, Sam, a young playwright, and her mother plan to stay in the city. Jed and Mark are astounded when they hear from Mrs. Greg­ory. a family friend, that she had wit­nessed a hitherto unknown will with Henri and Clotilde two weeks before Mrs. Dane died. Brooke had arrived just as she was leaving. Jed suggests that Mark open his part of Lookout House, get friendly with Brooke and try to find out about the will. Jed agrees to stay with him. Mark accepts Brooke’s invitation for a family Thanks­ giving dinner at Lookout. Mrs. Reybum announces on Thanksgiving eve that she has been invited to England. Sam and Lucette decide to move in with Brooke and Sam plans to produce a new play locally. After the Thanksgiving dinner Brooke tells M ark that little of Mrs. Dane’s silver col­ lection is left. Jerry Field and his sister Daphne drop In and announce they will be neighbors for the winter. Sam adds them to the cast of his play. Later Inspector Harrison of the local police visits Mark and is informed about the missing will and silver. As Harrison leaves,. Lola arrives. CHAPTER IV—Continued “I don’t like the twist you gave ,that ‘lady,’ Jed Stewart. Don’t shake your head at the Jap, Mark. rWhy shouldn’t I have a cup of tea .with you? I’m famished. Place it here.”The servant looked at Mark Trent before he pressed the springs which released the legs of the tray he was carrying and set it before the wom­ an. He brought in a muffin stand with sandwiches and cakes. “You needn’t wait,” she dis­ missed the man as if she were the mistress of the house. Mark nod­ ded confirmation as the Jap’s eyes sought his. Did he know that the woman so dictatorially giving or­ ders had been his wife? Side by side the two men watched her, watched her restless hands. Once she had been told by a stag that her hands were like pale butter­ flies, Mark remembered, and they had fluttered ever since. In the si­ lence the tick of the clock set the air vibrating; the fire snapped and blazed cheerily; the tide against the ledges boomed a dull undertone. Lola Hunt flung a crumpled doily to the table. “Now a cigarette, Mark, and I shall be ready to proceed with my story.” “Sorry, haven’t any.” She raised brows which had been plucked to a thin arch. “You do want to get rid of me, don’t you. Well, I strive to please.” She rose and crossed to the desk. With a glance over her shoulder, she opened a box of Chinese lacquer. “You see I still know my way around. Oh, by the way, your aunt’s legatee is living at Lookout House, I hear. Henri wrote me—” “Henri!” “Yes. I always got on with Hen­ ri, perhaps because he knew that I detested your aunt as much as he did. He WTote that Miss Beybum' evidently didn’t like his wife and himself, asked if I would give him a reference in case they lost the position.” -•Was that all Henri Jacques had written, Mark wondered. There was a hint of mockery in Lola’s voice and eyes. What was behind that letter? He watched her thoughtfully as.he perched on the comer of the desk, crossed her knees and lighted a cigarette. She blew a ring of smoke toward the two men stand­ ing back to the fire. “Forgot these were in the box, didn’t you, Mark? You really should do something about your memory; it’s slipping.” Her eyes and voice sharpened. “Well, here’s my news. Bert Hunt—he’s my present hus­ band, in case you’ve forgotten— is planning to go into business in the residential- part of this town, has gone, in fact. I shall help when he’s rushed or—indisposed. When I heard that you’d opened this house, I thought perhaps you wouldn’t care to have your former wife working— I’ve been warned that I’ve been taking chances with my heart—that perhaps you’d like to buy us off. With $20,000 we could go abroad and stay for a time. Don’t stand there like a bronze Nemesis ready to swoop. Nothing shameful about any kind of a job these days, is there?” 'Mark Trent laughed. It was not an especially merry burst of sound, but it would serve. “Do you call extortion a job? Nothing doing, Lola. Your heart! You’ve used your weak heart as an excuse to get what you wanted for ■ years. Why should I deprive the town of Hunt’s business ability and so charming an assistant?” She slid to her feet. Her face, which had been blank with amaze­ ment at. his laugh, went white with anger. “You mean that you don’t mind nojf working—here?” By Emilie Loring © EmUie Lorlnx. WNU Service. “H it’s what you like, why should I? But,” his face was as colorless as hers, “if you do stay in this town, the allowance I am making you—which, you may remember, is purely voluntary—’will stop.” “Are you threatening me?” “Not for a minute. I’m merely reminding you—” . “Then I’ll remind you that it may cost you more—” “Mrs. Gregory, Miss Reyburn,” murmured Kowa at the door. Mrs. Gregory registered amaze­ ment and anger when she saw Lolai Her skin mottled, her eyes flashed as she thumped her cane on the rug and went into action. “What are you doing in this house, Lola?” “I might ask you that.” Lola Hunt’s eyes moved insolently from her to the girl beside her. ‘‘Match­ making mayhap? As I remember it was one of your passions.” Her glance brought color to Brooke Reybum’s face. “Just as cheap in your answers as ever, aren’t you, Lola? Wise­ cracking, I believe they call it now. Don’t tell me you have taken her back, Mark.”“Taken me back! That’s the joke of the week. He couldn’t get me back.” Lola Hunt pulled the silver fox cape about her shoulders and drew on the fabric gloves. “So glad to have met you here, Mrs. Gregory. It will save sending you a card.” Anne Gregory’s face took on a purple tint. She thumped her cane on the rug. “A card! A card to what, you brazen hussy?” Lola Hunt shrugged. “Don't try to stop her, Mark. She would call a woman who chose to live her life “Xon Do Want to Get Bid of Me, Don’t Yon?” according to modern ideas of mar­ riage, a hussy. You’d know that from her clothes, they’re so de­ liciously Victorian. I really must She stopped on the 'threshold. “Dear Mrs. Gregory, I didn’t an­ swer your question, did I? The card to which I referred is an invitation to patronize the business which we have started in my old home on the point. You remember that house, I am sure, remember how you and your friends tried to freeze out the girl who came there to live. She didn’t freeze, did she? She burned up a few of the husbands and all the lads. Is it any more shocking for me to go into business than for some of your pet socialites to sponsor cigarettes, soap, or bed­ ding in every magazine in the coun­ try?” She turned to Brooke. “You are Miss Reyburn, aren’t you? I’ll give you a tip. Had I been left the late, not too lament­ ed, Mary Amanda Dane’s money, I wotild be wondering why her right­ ful heir and his lawyer had camped down in the house next to mine, why they were hob-nobbing with In­ spector Bill Harrison.” She looked back over her shoul­ der. “Think over my proposition, Mark, darling. It may be cheaper for you—in the end.” CHAPTER V . Lola Hunt’s malicious laugh lin­ gered eerily in the silence which fol­ lowed her theatrical exit from the room. Somewhere a door dosed with a bang which clanged through the house. Her spiteful warning struck like an irritating burr in Brooke Rey- bura’s mind. She glanced at the two men standing back to the fire: Stewart’s eyes, still on the doorway, smoldered with anger; the tortured look in Mark Trent’s hurt her un­ bearably; even with his pride knifed, his courtesy had been in­ vincible. The woman had warned him also. Why think of him, she -asked herself angrily. Better have her mind on what Mrs. Hunt had insinuated. Had those two men come to live in this house because they suspected her, Brooke Rey­ burn, of dishonestly influencing Mary Amanda Dane? U so, what could they do about it? Drag her into court? Was that why Inspector Harrison had been with them? It was fantastic, incredible, yet hadn’t she wondered times without num­ ber why they, city men so obviously, should have come to this village for the-winter? As if her thoughts had drawn his eyes to her,-Mark Trent regretted: “Sorry, Miss Reyburn, that, you should have been bored with a scene.” He pressed a bell beside the fire­ place. With a little snort of anger, Anne Gregory settled heavily into a chair and flung back her sable cape. The color of her face suggested a red-hot balloon. Temper and voice blew up. “How about me, Mark? Do you think I liked meeting that shame­ less woman here? Shameless! Per­ haps I’m too hard on Lola. She was right. We old residents did our best to snub her when she came here to 'live, and she did have every man in the place parking on her doorstep sooner or later. And what did Lolj mean, she hoped I’d patronize the business she and her husband were about to start?” “She didn’t say what sort of busi­ ness, did she? Let’s forget her. Let me take your coat, Miss Reyburn.” Trent stood behind Brooke as the servant appeared in the doorway. “Kowa, take out the tray and bring fresh tea.” Mrs. Gregory removed her gloves and resumed cross-examination. “Did Lola really mean that she and her present husband are going into business in this village?” “What’s strange in that? It’s be­ ing done every day.” Mark Trent crossed his arms on the mantel and stared at the fire. In spite of her suspicion of his motive in coming to live next door to Lookout House, Brooke’s sympa­ thy stnged out to him. Why didn’t Mrs. Gregory drop the subject of the Hunts? Couldn’t she see that he was sick at heart over the whole sordid situation? With more kind­ ness than finesse, Jed Stewart plunged into the breach. “Has that pair of Japanese gold­ fish I ordered for you arrived yet, Mrs. Gregory?” Anne Gregory looked up at him with eyes made shrewd by years of living, by joys, by uprooted affec­ tions, by hopes unrealized. She shook her head. “You can’t sidetrack me, young man, even with goldfish. I mean to get at what Lola is after—not merely customers, I am sure of that, she was here to hound Mark, I know her. I’ll see that she doesn’t get a license to carry on business on this point. I still have influence. Miss Reyburn will pour the tea,” she directed, as Kowa approached her with the replenished tray. Involuntarily Brooke looked at Mark Trent. He smiled. “Please. Stewart and I have given iip cocktails, they’re too effeminate. We have become tea-minded since we came here. The cup that cheers offsets to a degree the pound of the surf outside. Have a sandwich, Em­ press?” “You haven’t forgotten that nick­ name, have you, Mark? I like it from you. You use your mother’s silver, don’t you? By the way, what became of that gorgeous antique service of your aunt’s? I haven’t seen any iff it at Lookout House, Brooke.” The girl felt as if the eyes of both men were regarding her with sus­ picious attention. She finished fill­ ing a cup, added a slice of lemon and two lumps of sugar. “For Mrs. Gregory, Mr. Stewart. Will you have yours the. same strength? Oh, about Mrs. Dane’s silver. There isn’t any.” “Isn’t any! You say there isn’t any silver? Where is it, then? Did your aunt relent and give it to you, Mark?” “No. Miss Reyburn and I were wondering about it on Thanksgiving day. Glad you brought up the sub­ ject. Aunt Mary Amanda didn’t speak of having disposed of it, the day you wit—the last day you saw her, did she?” Why had Mark Trent floundered in his. question? What had he meant by “The day you wit—”? Why change the end of the sentence? Witness was the word he had start­ ed to use. What had Mrs. Gregory witnessed? Even while she was driving Mrs. Gregory home, under a sky already freckled with stars, making what she hoped were intelligent responses to her monologue of question and answer, Brooke was weighing and disposing of conjectures as to the meaning of the Hunt woman’s warn­ ing. It was with a sense of strain lifted that she helped the older woman out of Rie car. Mrs. Greg, ory laid her hand on her arm. . (TO BE CONTINUED) Massed Horse Races Up to 150 years ago most race tracks around the world permitted all spectators on horses to enter the course and to ride, during the races, directly behind the thorough­ breds. Consequently, says Collier’s Weekly, few of these horses ever had their minds on'the race. Their only thought was to save their lives —from the thundering and howling mob at their heels.

PRIMARy TO PIC-At Our House.JUNIOR TOPIC—At Oirn House.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —What Makes a Home Christian?YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Influence ot ChrisUan Homes in a Na­ tion's Life. Home! The very word stirs our hearts and quickens the most pre­ cious of memories. Toward its com­ forting threshold turns the one who has borne the heat and the labor of the day. Within its portals are those who gladly give themselves in sac­ rificial service that it may indeed be a haven of rest and comfort. The inroads of modern life and of our so-called civilization are do­ ing much to break down home life. AU too frequently home has be­ come the place to which one goes when there is nowhere else^ to go; a place to sleep, and sometimes to eat; an address for mail; a tele­ phone number.ShaU we then abandon the effort really to maintain a true home—one that is in touch with God, and there­fore ready to serve man? No; for now as never before we need the influence of a home life empowered by the worship of the true God and guided by his Word. None of us, who are engaged in the determined effort to maintain such a home in the midst of the driving intensity of present day Uving, speaks too easily on this subject. We know the diffi­ culties; we have heavy-heartedly tasted faUure; but we also know the sweetness of ,, victory. By God’s grace we press on. In his dealings with Israel God presents to us an example of what a godly home may be, and what it will accomplish for the commu­ nity and . for the nation. Such a home— I. Worships the True God (w . 4,5). This is “the first and great com­ mandment” of the law, according to our Lord Jesus. (Matt. 22:36,37.) It is an important part of the Scrip­ ture repeated twice daily by all or­ thodox Jews. In its context, in Deu­ teronomy 6, it is clearly associated with the home. It is there that he who is the “one Lord” is to be loved, which means far more than that he is vaguely recognized or distantly respected. H. Honors God’s Word (w . 18,19). Loving God and his Word is not a matter for theological speculation or for sanctimonious discussion in some dark cloister. ■ Thank God the Christian faith is at its best in the ordinary affairs of life. It finds its proper place in the tender rela­ tionship of -parent and child. Its teachings are pure, delightful, sim­ ple, and entirely appropriate to jany occasion, whether one sits or rises, walks, or lies down. Gpd’s words are the words to be laid up in the heart and in the soul, to be taught to our children, to be the constant and normal subject of conversation. III. Testifies to the Community (w . 20, 21).We may not, asxdid the pious Jew, fasten a little container bear­ ing God’s word on our doorpost, but we may make the home itself and the life of its inhabitants an effective testimony for God before our neigh­ bors. It is obvious that the home either speaks for or against God. A profession of faith in him, an outward reputation for adherence to religious principles which does not vitally touch our dealings with one another and with the community in which we live—these clearly testify not for God but against him. IV. Serves the Nation (w . 22-25). God promised that if Israel dili­ gently kept his commandments, loved him and walked in his ways, they would be a nation that would overcome and dispossess their ene­ mies, and prosper in every good purpose. Statesmen clearly see that the home is the unit of society. It was established -upon the earth before the nation, in fact, before the church. No nation can ever really prosper without homes of the high­ est type. But a house without God is not really a home, even though it stand in the midst of a gqrden. Neither the school teacher, nor the pastor of a church can take the place of a God-fearing father, and of a mother - who not only knows God but who can tenderly lead the steps of trust­ ing childhood in the paths of right­ eousness. Our lesson title is right: “A Nation Needs Religious Homes,” ' or, better, “America Needs Chris­ tian Homes.” Faith that Overcometh There is no more enviable condi- tion than that of him who has made the pressure of adverse things the means of a deep faith. A Divine Mission Know that life is a divine mission, for which you have received and shall receive divine power. A MoffteFs Love.

Egyptian Pyramid* Are Built of $tone, Brick ! There are In all 70 of the Egyp^ tian pyramids. Serenoftheseareat Gizeh1 five at Abusir1 eleven at Sak- kara, five at Dashur and the re­ mainder scattered throughout the country. Some are built of stone and others of brick. The principal ones, including the great pyramid , of Cheops, are at Gizeh1 The great pyramid was erected as a mausoleum for Khufu or Cheops, of the fourth Egyptian dynasty, who reigned about 3800 B. C. It is constructed of stone, trans­ ported, for the most part, over a causeway eight miles long, extend­ ing from the quarries to the site. It is said that the construction of this causeway alone occupied 100,- 000 men ten years. Twenty years more- were con­ sumed in building the pyramid it­ self, which is 450 feet 9 inches in height, and 746 feet square at the base, and is estimated to contain 6,800,000 tons of stone. The four sides exactly face the four cardi­ nal points. This is the case with all the pyramids, notes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The interior contains what are called the king’s chamber and the queen’s chamber, in which the sar­ cophagi and the bodies of the sov­ ereigns were found, and numerous small chambers. Various theories have been ad­ vanced as to the religious and as­ tronomical uses intended in the con­ struction of the great pyramid and several of the lesser ones. While for the most part conjectural, these explanations of the monuments have brought into being a very extensive literature. Old Village in England ' Does Not Know Real Name : Lyminster1 Sussex, one of the old­ est villages in England, does not know its real name, observes Pear­ son’s London Weekly. Its history goes back to the year 901, when King Alfred the Great bequeathed the village to his nephew. It was then known as Lul- lyngminster. Ever since then, differ­ ent names for it have continually cropped up, and things became 60 confused that the villagers m et and decided on the present name, though there is still much doubt as to whether they have chosen correctly. Lyminster, like most villages, has its pond, but it is a very special pond. Tradition declares that it once sheltered a fierce dragon, and some villagers firmly believe that the pond is bottomless. Many a tale-is told in Lyminster of people wfto have been drowned in it, and the bodies have never been recovered. Geologists, however, think that there is an underwater tunnel at the bed of the pond, and a sub­ merged current sucks down any­ thing that sinks below the surface. Inscription on Watt's Statae The inscription on James Watt’s statue in Westminster abbey is as follows: “Not to Perpetuate a Name Which Must Endure While the Peaceful Arts Flourish but to Shew That Mankind Have Learnt to Hon­ our Those Who Best Deserve Their Gratitude the King Hia Ministers . and Many of the Nobles and Com­ moners of the Realm Raised 8ii« Monument to Jam es Watt Who Di­ recting the Force of An Original Genius Early Exercised in Philo­ sophical Research To The Improve­ ment of the Steam Engine Skilarged the Resources of His Country In­ creased the Power of Man and Rose To an Eminent Place Among the Most Illustrious Followers of Sci­ ence and the Real Benefactors of t h e World Bom at Greenock MDCCXXXVI Died at Heathfield in Staffordshire MDCCC30X.” BirdBuildsD anceHaR Australia has no Hons or mon­ keys or elephants' or any of the fierce animals. But what she lacks in man-eaters Australia makes up in many strange and beautiful birds and mammals which are found no­ where else in the world. One of these is the bower-bird, notes a writer in Pearson’s London Weekly. This beautiful creature is a great architect, and the male bird builds itself a bower of arched sticks in which it dances and plays. The bower is merely a playhouse, or dance hall, and is not a nest The bower bird decorates his dance hall with an artistic collection of snail- shells, berries, leaves and bits of blue paper—it likes blues a n d greens. Also it paints the .sticks with a mixture of powdered char­ coal and saliva, using its beak as a brush. An Old Indian Custom An Indian widow was forbidden by custom to m arry for a year, after her husband’s death because the spirit of her departed spouse, was believed to stay with her that long.. During the year she could not ac­ cept gifts of meat from anyone nor could she even buy it; she had to. . get it herself. If she lived through - the year, says the Cleveland Plain ' Dealer, and observed all the rigid customs, she would then be given gifts by both the men and women in the tribe, and she would usually get another husband, because the next spouse would .know that she was obedient and he could depend on her. -Indian men were not held down by such strait jacket rules. They could even put up their squaws as stakes in gambling. Mamelukes in Egypt Were \ j Former Class of Slaves 1 The Mamelukes were a former class of slaves in Egypt, who be­ came and continued for a long time to be the dominant' race of that countoy. Tfheir name comes from toe Arab, "Mamluk,” meaning slave. As far back as the year 950 mention is made of them, but it is not for several centuries thereafter that they are known as a power, states a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In the Twelfth century the Sultan of Egypt bought of Genghis Khan 12,000 Circassian, Mingrelian, Tar­ tar and Turkish slaves, and in the year 1240 Malek Sulah made them his bodyguard, and ten years later they killed Turan Shah and be­ came masters of Egypt. In more modern times they played an im­ portant part in toe battle of the Pyramids in 1798, where they were exhibited as fine horsemen, but where they were annihilated. The great part of their number were massacred by Mefaemet Ali in 1811, a remnant only escaping, and for a few years maintaining themselves at New Dongola, but these were ex­ terminated in 1820. The Mamelukes kept up their numbers by toe purchase of Circas­ sian and Georgian slaves; their wives, of toe same stock, and also acquired by purchase, generally proved childless in the climate of Egypt, and their inheritance, there­ fore, was usually from master to slave and not from father to son. Sunflower Was Important to American Aborigines Sunflowers amongst the American aborigines occupied a place of im­ portance. South American Indians of toe Inca empire saw in this flow­ er that turned to toe sun in his daily flight a representation of the Sun- god As such it received their abject veneration; priestesses wore replicas upon their breasts wrought from native gold; its seeds were eaten in religious ceremonies, according to a writer in the Mont­ real Herald. Other Indians esteemed it highly and recognized the nutritive value of its seeds. Long before toe white man came they had learned to rel­ ish the oily taste.. So much did they think of these seeds, set in toe flower head "as though a cunning workman had of purpose. placed them in very good order much like the honey-combe of bees,” that reg­ ularly tb-v w—e included in the foodstuffs placed alongside the de­ parted to help along in toe journey to toe next world. In fact, Indians from one end of America to the other had knowledge of the sun­ flower, along with ideas and beliefs concerning it. Ringhals, South African Cobra The ringhals, a South African cdbra, is an interesting member of the numerous cobra family. This snake is sooty black in color and rarely exceeds five feet in length, but its most distinctive character­ istic is its ability to “spit” venom when annoyed. This it can do with amazing accuracy, and many a man has received a virulent stream of poison square in the eye even while standing several feet from the snake. The mechanism of this spit­ ting seems to be that by contrac­ tion of toe poison glands the venom is forced out through toe fangs and at toe same time a blast of air is violently exhaled. Although such an external infliction of poison is not apt to be fatal, there is great danger of its permanently blinding the unfortunate victim who receives it in his eyes. line; thence E. 15 00 chs. to the be­ ginning, containing forty (40) acres, more or less.

It has nearly three times as many people as has the United States, though its area is on­ ly a little more than half as large. But the more than 351,399,000 In­ dians crowded into the triangular Penhisula that juts out from Asia are far from unified—culturally, re­ ligiously, or politically, according to a writer in the Chicago Tribune. The land is a crazy-quilt of presidencies, native states, provinces, protector­ ates, tribal areas, and even a few foreign owned patches. Some parts have been governed' by modem British law; others by native princes ruling with Arabian Nights splendor, holding the power of life and death over their minions, main­ taining their own armies, and sub­ ject indirectly to the king. India is usually thought of as en­ tirely British, but France and Portu­ gal keep tiny toeholds on the edges of-the huge British domain. Of these remnants of the days when all three powers were competing for Indian trade and riches France has about 200 square miles of colonies along the east and west coasts, while there are 1,461 square miles of Por­ tuguese territory on the western side of the peninsula. Old Fort Strategic “Key to our province” was the term often applied to Cockspur is­ land, at the mouth of the Savanah river, by Sir James Wright, royal governor of Georgia. The strategic­ al position of the little island early led to its fortification, the first such defense being built in 1761, reports toe Interior department The struc­ ture was commenced in 1829 and ranks as one of the best preserved of the brick fortresses along the Atlantic coast constructed during the early half of the Nineteenth century. It was named Fort Pulaski, In honor of the gallant Pole, Count Casimir Pulaski, who fell at the Battle of Savannah, in 1779, during the war of the American Revolution.

Roosevelt and his associates, mas­ querading under the name and in the livery of the Democratic party, have repudiated every principle for which the party has stood, and are no more the- Democratic party than chalk is cheese. This Administration is properly called the New Deal party, and prides^itself upon that appellation. In fact that is its patent brand and stock in trade. Under the leader ship of Roosevelt and his associates and advisers the country is headed for dictatorship and the utter de struction of our institutions, which means the loss of our liberties and ultimately revolution to restore our Government and recover our Ii berties. There has. been n o . peace in the country since the accession of Roosevelt to power. H e has kept the country in a state of tur moll, strife, and confusion with his faked fictitious issnes, and by de manding all the decent and worth­ while citizens, and appealing to all the dregs and subversive elements of society. H e and his henchmen must be got rid of at all costs. The only representative of the Democratic party and those with a shadow of right to speak for it are the Jeffersonian Democrats, who opposed Roosevelt in the last elec­ tion. These men should call a con­ vention at the proper time of the party for nomination of presiden­ tial candidates and invite the co­ operation and support of all those who are interested in the welfare of the country and 0 the preservation of our institutions. The South is - nowvin revolt a gainst the New Deal, and realizes it has been betrayed, and is ready to support such a ticket, as will al­ so patriotic Republicanswhorealize there is little chance for their par­ ty, and that the suggestion herein made offers the only means to de­ feat the New Deal and save our country from Bolshevism.

Cotlon was selling at 18 cents a pound, and he, through the Farm Board, tried to drive the price up to satisfy people who remember ed when spot cotton sold at 3 0 cents and better. Since 1929, cotton has dragged down to as low as 5 cents a pound and hovers around 10 cents, a pre­ sent. Now the Roosevelt Administra tion, not unmindful of the fact that sharecroppers suffer as much as landowners when cotton falls dbwn South, and that economic as wt 11 as political fretfulness may ,ensue, promises to peg this yeat’s crop at not less than 9 cents a pound by lending on it at that price. It is extracting advance agree ments, however, to crop control next year. Down South, where they speak of cotton.as “ king,” the habit is to let next year worry about itself and sell this year’s cotton as high as possible. But cotton, the mad king, is not going to comfort the farmers any more next year than ibis. The hard statistical facts argue other­ wise. World production since 1929 has risen bv 7 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bales, ac­ cording to Dr I. E. Boyle of Cor. hell University, written for the New York times American cot­ ton exports 'since 1929 have de­ clined by 2.5 0 0 ,0 0 0 bales. Foreign consumers have. learned to do without us and King Cotton; Southern style is losing subjects. Somehow, there is a parallel be-i tween the status of the American merchant marine and American cotton farming. Each is the victim of excessive competition at home and abroad, poor management, and refusal to accept modern technology. And each survives by digging its hand deeper and deeper into the treasury of the United States, even though the national debt ballons upward and sags further and furth­ er out of balance. W hat is the way out? One thing is certain. Cotton farming and the merchant marine must survive, even , at the cost of heavy subsidy. But another thing is positively true. The Federal budget must be balanced. Otherwise there will be neither subsidy nor treasury. —W ashington Herald. Hooting Laws Changed.

It is an informa- ional service. Answers w illbe au- tboritive. The Social Security Board, throu Mr. J. N Freeman, Manager of the Board’s office at the Nissen Building in Winston-Salem, has consented, as a special service to The Davie Record and its readers, to answer all ques­ tions on the social security law sub­ mitted to this paper. QUESTlON AMD ANSWER. Question. In the operation of our business as a distributor of dairy products, milk chieflly, we pay a commission of $1.00 to a regular cus­ tomer, such as a grocery store cr a private individual in a home, for ev­ ery new customer they procure for us. Are we liable for the payment of taxes on commissions paid to such firms and individuals? If so. is the grocery firm required to ,furnish us with an employee’s account number in order that we may file our infor- matianal returns? Answer: If the relationship of employer and emplayee exists -be­ tween the distributor of dairy pro­ ducts and the owner of a grocery store or any other individual obtain­ ing names of new customers, then the employee and employer taxes drescribed in Title V IIIy must be paid; but if the relationship is such that they are not employer and em­ ployee in their deaimgs with .each other, then Titie VIII taxes, do. not apply. From the information given in your question it would appear that the store owner is not your em­ ployee; that he procures customers for you merely as an incident to the conduct of his own business; that he is an independent contractor, rather than your employee; but some detail of your relationship, not set forth in your question, may put a differ­ ent light on the., m atter and make your relationship with the store own­ er an employer employee relation­ ship; and, inasmuch as tax questions must be decided by the Treasuiy- Dapartment it is suggested that you BUbmit full information to tho Col­ lector of Internal Revenue for ycur district for a specific ruling. Question: I am a farmer but this fall I plan to help out in a tobacco' warehouse during the tobacco seas­ on. I will be pain an hourly wage for the time I work. I understand that because I am a farmer I do not come under the Social Security Act and do not have to have an account number,. Is this cortect? ■ Answer:. Your information is hot corrects You are a farmer- only when you farm, so far as. the Social Security Act is concerned. The So­ cial Security law does not exclude any profession or group as such; it merely excepts certain employments. Agricultural labor, is excepted but when you take employment in a to­ bacco warehouse or engage in' any other than agricultural employment you come under the Act. ^ You must apply on Form SS-5 for a Social Se­ curity account number and you be­ come eligible for the benefits provid­ ed under the law, just as other work­ ers in eommerce and industry/ You can get form SS-5 from your Social.

WiII I have to get a Social Security account number? . Answer: Yes,- when you'-become an employee in covered employment, such as you describe.- under the So cial Security Act,' you . m ust. comply with all the requirements - o f: the Act. Question: I got a job last week. Mv employer.had me fill.out an ap­ plication for a Social Security ac­ count number, but when -Saturday came I bad not received my/number, and he wculd not pav me my mon­ ey: Did he do right? Answer: When you applied >|or The South And Its Birthwright. It seems to be more or less com­ monly agreed among the political wiseacres that the Democratic party is going rapidly to pieces. Our judgment is that there hasn’t been any Democratic party for tbe past five years, . . ’ That, also, seems to be the idea.of The Atlanta Constitution which truthfully remarks that: The votes which swept President Roosevelt, in unpre'edent flood, into his second term were the votes of a coalition o f antagonistic groups. These groups included the progres­ sive Republican farmer of the Mjd- W--st, radical labor under, the Lewis leadership, the Tammanies of the big cities, the idealistic liberals, the A- merican negroes and the army of tbe unemployed, as .well as those rock-ribbed Democrats who for de­ cades have fought, year in and year out for the fundamental principles upon which the party is founded. The disintegration of the old party of the South is to be regretted for more reasons than one. There are those of us who ‘ held a high traditional pride in its princi­ ples and the purity of its idealisms. It is lamentable if these must, be surrended or bave already been sa­ crificed. And getting more practically down to tb e'flesh pots, it means that here­ after the South is going to be the red-headed step-child of all National Administrations, whether those sail­ ing falsely under the banners of the party or the Republicans.—Charlotte Observer.

'International Crises A NE grave international crisis followed another in the new Sino-Japanese war. Britain was still awaiting reply to her protest over the wounding of His Majesty’s am­ bassador to China by a Japanese airman when four airplanes, identi­ fied as Chinese, swooped down upon the American liner, President Hoov­ er, flagship of the Dollar line, drop­ ping bombs which wounded seven persons aboard. The President Hoover, having de­ posited a load of refugees in Ma­ nila, was nearing Shanghai to pick up another load when the bombs struck, tearing 25 holes in the ship, 'above the water line. Theshipim -' mediately notified Admiral Harry E. YarneU, commander of the Ameri­ can fleet,, who took command of all American shipping in the emergen­ cy. He ordered the President Hoov­ er to continue to Japan, and radioed other vessels that they must not enter “hostile” waters; off the Woo- sung and Yangtze lightships. It was only a few days before the Presi­ dent Lincoln, another Dollar liner, had had to run a gauntlet of artil­ lery fire to get 160 American refu­ gees on their way to Manila. More spectacular, but only be­ cause of Hie importance of the per­ son it involved, was the shooting- of Sir Hughe Montgomery Knatch- bull-Hugessen, British ambassador to China. With several of his attaches, Sir Hughe sped along a Chmese road near Shanghai to attend a confer­ ence with British foreign service officials. His conveyance and one which accompanied it flew the union jack. But a Japanese airplane swooped down and began to pour machine-gun fire into the car. TJne of the bullets pierced the body of the ambassador, grazing his spine. He was rushed 50 miles to Country hospital where an operation was performed and blood transfusions were given. Sir Hughe was the highest rank­ ing British official in China, where Great Britain has enormous inter­ ests at stake. He was attacked by a Japanese airplane which did not even have the right of a belligerent —since no war had been declared— while his car was flying the British colors. The last comparable inci­ dent in China was at the time of the. Boxer rebellion in 1900, when the German ambassador Von Ket- tler was shot and killed in Peiping. Britain’s note to Tokyo was couched in stringent terms. It said, in part: “The plea, should it be advanced, that the flags carried on the cars ' were too small to be visible is ir­ relevant. There would have been no justification for the attack even had the cars carried no flags at all. “The foreign and even the diplo- matic status of the occupants is also irrelevant. The real issue is that they were noncombatants . . . “Such events are inseparable from the practice as illegal as it is inhuman of failing to draw that clear distinction between combat­ ants and noncombatants in the con­ duct of hostilities which internation­ al law no less than the conscience of mankind has always enjoined. “His majesty’s government must' therefore request: “FIRST—A formal apology to be conveyed by the Japanese govern­ ment to his majesty’s government; “SECOND—Suitable punishment for those responsible for the attack; "THIRD—An assurance by the Japanese authorities that necessary measures will be taken to prevent recurrence of events of such a char­ acter.” j Tokyo’s reply was temporarily withheld, pending a complete in­ vestigation. Trouble Ahead for Ford TOHN L. LEWIS’ magic touch ef-. J fected a compromise between warring factions of the United Auto­ mobile Workers of America suffi­ cient to permit the election of offi­ cers, but that failed to cover up the fierce dissension in the C. I. O. af­ filiate’s Milwaukee convention. Several times only a fortunately- timed adjournment saved a day’s meeting from breaking up in a riot. The clashes were between the “pro­ gressive” faction of the union, head­ ed by President Homer Martin, and the “unity” faction, containing most of the “left” members, who op­ posed Martin’s program. In the end, the Lewis compromise forced Martin to retain several unity group officers he had apparently been anx­ ious to depose. New officers added were, however, chiefly adherents of Martin, and it was believed his fac­ tion still held control of the execu­ tive board. Of chief importance in the conven­ tion was the decision to go ahead with the campaign to organize the employees of the Ford Motor com­ pany. A special tax of $1 per mem­ ber, which would bring in a net of something like $400,000, was voted for the purpose. Lewis predicted; ’.‘Some day Henry Ford is going, to be so very tired he will be willing Wounded 'by Japanese airmen, Sir Hughe -Montgomery Knatehbull- Hugessen is c,enter of strained in­ ternational relations. to accord to his employees the rights that are due them.” Both- Lewis and Martin roundly flayed William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in speeches. Lewis upbraided him for Mlegedly aiding the General Mo­ tors corporation while C. I. O. strike was in progress last winter. Martin ridiculed Green’s abhorrence of the sit-down.strike. “I don’t see why a man wiio has been, on a sit-down strike as long as Bill Green should find fault with the automobile work­ ers,” he said. . TTie convention approved a raise in officials’ salaries which steps up the total payroll of officers from $16,000 to $80,000. Martin’s salary was increased from $3*000 to $5,000, Death Strikes Noncombatants T HE undeclared war in Chma continued to mean death or in­ jury to hundreds of noncombatants as the Japanese continued to bomb densely populated native ciiy areas. Three hundred ,civilians were killed and several hundred wounded as bombs fell on Shanghai’s Chapei dis­ trict. Two hundred houses were set in flames. A Chinese communique said that 20 Japanese bombers raided Nan­ king, the central government capi­ tal, bringing death to 100, including many women and children, and wounding 400 more. Bombs fell on the National School for Orphans, the National Central university and the Tzesheng hospital.Nearly 400 miles inland ^ from Shanghai, at Nanchang, capital of IQangsi province, it was, reported Japanese bombers had killed or wounded 300 Chinese nonconib^t- ants. In an effort to hit the South sta­ tion at Nantao, ancient walled-in Shanghai settlement neighboring the French concession, Japanese bombers killed 200 and wounded -400 civilians. Puppet King for Ethiopia? WHEN Mussolini captured Ethi­ opia (or did he?) it was fre­ quently said that he .would never be' able to control it, much less develop it, for the Ethiopian tribes are wild and terrible. Apparently he is now coming to the same conclusion and is about to turn for help to—of all people!—the former emperor, Haile Selassie. It is known that the Italian gov­ ernment has made certain overtures to Great Britain to determine how she feels' about the “Conquering Lion of Judah” ascending his throne once more, but strictly as 'a puppet for whom H Duce would pull the strings. Britain is said to be willing because of the ever-present Italian threat along her Mediterranean life­ line. 1 France, too, has been approached on the m atter. . Frenchmen own the important railroad from Addis Aba­ ba to Djibuti, but One of the prin­ cipal stockholder in the French cor­ poration is Haile Selassie, and the Italians refuse to recognize his hold­ ings. It is believed that if the French agree to the puppet mon­ archy the validity of the emperor’s shares will not be questioned. Then France, will be able to buy than. The fly in the ointment is Hiat Haile Selassie will have none of this. He will rest his fate entirely with the League of Nations, of which Ethiopia is still, a member. Meanwhile the continual raids by native tribesmen, still faithful to their emperor,' leave no Italian life safe in the African country, and are making Il Duce’s “colonization” a joke.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF.—A certain rich man out here— rich but indulgent—got a letter .from his heir, a sophomore at one of the big eastern colleges, The lad announced he had been converted to communism and was contributing to the cause. So what about it? The old m a n Wrote back: . “Son, you have a perfect right to fol­ low the dictates of y o u r conscience. But as a consistent communist you nat­ urally would n o t continue to live on the ill-gotten gains of a wicked money- grabber. Today I am cutting off your somewhat generous allowance. You will also vacate the luxurious apartment you now occupy because I’m not paying the rent of same any longer. So go ahead, my boy, and commune freely—with my bless­ ings! But from date that’ll be about all from this end of the line.’ Exactly four hours after the ar­ rival by air mail of this ultimatum, the hard-hearted parent got back a rush telegram stating that the young man had been thinking things over and had decided not to take up the new doctrine. * * V The Art of Listening. W'E HAD a party at which there -appeared what I may call the dumb poets—Sam Hoffenstein and Ogden Nash. At the studios where they’re both turning out epics, there’s a rule that neither shall burst forth into poetry while he’s under contract—no thumbing of the harp, no sounding of the lute. Cine­ m a’s gain is creation’s loss. Maybe that explains why they made such good listeners the other night. And isn’t a good, listener a boon! I don’t mind being interrupt­ ed, provided the interrupter chooses the right subject. Mute' and rapt, I can harken for horns on horns if someone is talking about me, say, or even reading from my published works. But these two minnesingers only broke in to ask that the pickled shrimp be passed or gently to sug­ gest that another little drink or two' wouldn’t do any harm. Ogden Nash has attained the high­ est peak of distinction attainable for a writer. His chief imitator has an imitator who is bringing up his old­ est boy to be an imitator. « • * Resorrecting -Old Words. W HEN a word gets fashionable —especially a new word which some wordsmith thought up right out of his head—it gets too dog­ gone fashionable. The same applies to old words which have been dis­ interred' from their forgotten tomb? in the dictionary. I seem to see grave robbers prowling through the unabridged, starting in at “aard-vark,” which is an animal formerly common only to Africa but not frequently found in cross-word puzles; and working on through to “zythum,” a very strong-beer drunk by aiicient tribes. I guess .those old-timers imbibed co­ piously of the brew and then named it. It doesn’t sound like the sort of word a dead sober party deliberate­ ly would make up. Do you remember , the run “in­ trigued” had? Imever got so sick of a word in my ife. And then along came “provocative,” and it turned out to be 'a pest. People went around just looking for a chance to work “provocative” into the conver­ sation. The only way to lick ’em was to pretend to be deaf and dumb. And now the reigning favorite is “allergic.” Folks spout it every­ where, whether they know what it means or not. I don’t mind saying Pm getting awfully allergic to. “al­ lergic.” There must be many others like me. *, * * ’ Campaign Books. T ET us not cavil too .much be- L cause high pressure salesmen, working on commission, have been unloading upon the faithful, at fancy prices, the gift book put out by Washington headquarters to pay off campaign debts. In fact, 15 cents’ worth would cover practical­ ly. all the cavil I personally have used up in this connection. The result tends to prove the grat­ ifying fact that, while more Demo­ crats may not necessarily have learned how to read and write, ob­ viously more of us have got money than formerly was the case when the Republicans were in power. Besides, think of what the strain would have boon upon the poor post­ man if the national committee had been stuck with all this bulk litera­ ture and congressmen had started franking copies out to their constitu­ ents with Uncle Sam paying the freight. To give you a further idea about this franking privilege, I may state that it was named for Frank, Jesse’s brother—and you’ll, remem­ ber how careless those Jam es boys were with the United States mails! IRVIN S. COBB,C —WNV Service. . W a s h i n g t o n D i g e s t m National Topics Interpreted ByW ILLIAM BRUCKART NATIONAL PRESS 3LDC WASHINGTON. D C { I l W Washington. — Political students and observers in Washington find „ ’ themselves in aHas Am quandary concern^Gaeanng ing the objectives _ of the New Deal administration because of a series of late developments. Frankly, most students of politics have to confess their inability to fathom the various developments of recent weeks or to measure their significance. I have written, heretofore, about the wide open split in the Demo­ cratic party and about the presiden­ tial moves to heal that split but, instead of the new developments be­ ing of a kind designed to heal wounds, they appear superficially at least to be doing directly the oppo­ site thing. Confessing my own in­ ability to understand the political strategy, if there be strategy, let me merely call attention to such things as: The recent-radio speech by Sena­ tor Guffey,- Pennsylvania,. Demo­ crat, which thoroughly read out of the party such able men as Sena­ tors Wheeler of Montana; Burke of Nebraska and O’Mahoney of Wyo­ ming. The speech of Postmaster Gen­ eral Farley before the Young Demo­ crats at their Indiana meeting, stat­ ing that there will be no reprisals against those Democrats who have seen fit or now see fit to object to parts of President Roosevelt’s New Deal program. The so-called harmony dinner of Democratic senators at a Washing­ ton hotel after the election of Sena­ tor Barkley of Kentucky as Demo­ cratic, leader of the senate, and the absence of President Roosevelt from that meeting. The renewal by President Roose­ velt of his criticism of “Economic Royalists” in his speech in celebra­ tion of the birth of Virginia Dare, the first white child bom in Amer­ ica, at Manteo, N. C. The speech of Senator Guffey in New York declaring without equiv­ ocation that the Committee for In­ dustrial Organization, headed by John L. Lewis, should provide a nucleus for an American Labor par­ ty. This party should have among its objectives the political destruc­ tion of any one who fails to carry through the New Deal policies or who opposes a program designed to make the court structure of the United States subservient to the President. There are other phases, other cir­ cumstances that might be included in this list, but those enumerated serve to show the confusion that prevails. They present' to me. a wholly nonunderstandable and un­ explainable hauling and filling— breathing hot and cold without a change of face. » *-■ * There has been nothing of a pure­ ly political nature create quite so J much of a stir inGuffey a ]0ng time as didCauses Stir the radio speech of Senator Guffey in which he called for defeat of aU those who opposed the President’s plan to reorganize the Supreme court of the United States by adding to it six justices of the President’s own choosing. It was in this speech that Senator Guffey singled out Senators Wheeler, Burke and O’Mahoney for destruction. He did this because these three senators led the fight against the President’s plan to pack the Supreme, court Senator Wheeler and Senator Biurke conducted the fight on the floor of the senate; Senator O’Mahoney wrote the devastating report by which the senate judiciary commit­ tee advised the senate to kill the court packing bill. Senator Guffey’s speech was made at night When the senate convened at noon the following day, Senator Wheeler took the floor and delivered one of the most vicious speeches of which he is known to be capable, It was excelled inbit- temess only by the attack which came from Senator Burke. Senator O’Mahoney likewise made sure that the senate record revealed the feel­ ing - of those who were convinced the President had made a vital mis­ take in proposing the court reor­ ganization. I have heard these questions asked many times: What can the t il. President gain byWnarstne making SenatorAnswer? Guffey or. any man of his type a spokesman for the administration? Further, can the President afford politically to strike at the very heart of the Democratic party by permit­ ting even secretly the political de­ struction of such brilliant men' as Wheeler, Burke and O’Mahoney? . The answer to those questions, as far as I can see it, or as far as I have been able to gather opinions on the point, must inevitably lead in the .direction of a party purge. By Hiat I mean, the President and his closest New Deal advisers must be seeking to drive out of the Demo­ cratic party; the machinery of which he controls, any and all Dem­ ocrats who are unwilling, to be one hundred per cent for Ihe theories of economics and social reform which the New Dealers counte­ nance. If that ..be true, and I re­ peat it is only an assumption, then the President evidently is hoping to create a class party, a radical party which ,can be made to include such outfits as the John L. Lewis follow­ ing, the communists and half-baked nitwits who are opposed to the prin­ ciple of individual employment, the accumulation of personal belongings and even the idea of owning homes by individuals, free from debt. On the other hand I cannot con­ vince myself that Mr. Roosevelt would make a political mistake of this gravity. For it would be a mis­ take in two ways, namely, a virtual destruction of the Democratic party and the blighting of any hope the President may have for being elect­ ed a third time. It is these com­ binations that make the whole situa­ tion so difficult to understand. It may be that one result will be that Senator Wheeler or Senator Burke may find himself in a politi­ cal situation where one or the other will be forced to seek the Demo­ cratic Presidential nomination in 1940. It is quite apparent now that the split in the party is going to cause a violent explosion in the next Democratic national convention. There is no way to avoid it. It may be added in the same breath that Mr. Roosevelt can go into that con­ vention and force his own renomi­ nation because surely the Farley political machine cannot be dis­ lodged unless the factional dispute spreads to the rank and file of Dem­ ocrats throughout the country, n d s is to say that, having control of the party machine, Mr. Farley can muster the election of enough dele­ gates to the party’s national conven­ tion to assure the Roosevelt nomi­ nation, especially since Mr. Roose­ velt demanded and obtained the re­ peal of the age-old Democratic rule that required a vote of two-thirds of all the sitting delegates before the convention nominates a candi­ date. With further reference to Senator Guffey, Senator Barkley told the senate during the violent Wheeler- Burke-O’Mahoney attack that Sena­ tor Guffey had tendered his resig­ nation as chairman of the Demo­ cratic senatorial committee a week previously. Senator Barkley’s state­ ment, however, was not accepted generally; it did not have the ring to make it convincing, nor did it appear to be anything more than an attempt by Senator Barkley to save Senator Guffey’s face. ♦ * * It may well be that the rupture in Democratic harmony will turn out to be a great is- May Be SUe as early asBtg Issue the 1938 congres­ sional and sena­ torial elections. There are a num­ ber of senators who opposed the court packing bill and, therefore, fall within the Guffey castigation, who will be up for re-election next year. If the Guffey attack is fol­ lowed up at all in Hie state organi­ zations, those Democrats who op­ posed the President’s will necessar­ ily must defend themselves. The only way they can defend their course of action is by a counter at­ tack on the President and those policies of his which the candidate for the senate opposed. I predi­ cate my prediction of continuation of the row in 1938 on the statement made by Senator O’Mahoney in an­ swer to the Guffey radio tirade. In that statement of position, Senator O’Mahoney stated, to quote a single paragraph: ■ “I would rather walk out of the door of this chamber and never re­ turn, than to surrender any honest convictions I have. I say to you, senators of -the United States, so long as I am in this body I shall raise my voice and cast my vote as m y‘conscience dictates and nobody, whether he comes ,from Pennsyl­ vania or from New York or any other state, can tell me or Hie peo­ ple of my state what I should or should not do.” „ . . ■ Contrast that statement with the following declaraUon by Senator Guffey in his radio speech: “I was elected to Hie United States senate in 1934 because I, as-, sured the voters of Pennsylvania that it was my intention to support loyally and without wavering the program of the Chief Executive.” And in calling attention to that statement of subservience, Senator BuTke of Nebraska declared: “Pennsylvania may want that kind of representation in the senate, and, if they do, God, bless them, let them have it; but to,m e it would seem that if Hie senate is to have that kind of representation, it might as well have a-parrot in a cage in the secretary’s office and bring it in when the senator’s name is called and have him say,-‘Yes, Mr. Roose­ velt, count me for that, too.* That is not my idea of what a senator should do.” ® Western Newspaper Union.

Thought W ields Great Influence in Our laves Practically all the ills in life spring largely from our ignorance of the working of mental laws. Most of us have no „ idea that thought has more to do with de­ termining our conditions, with shaping our circumstances and environment, bringing us poverty or wealth, attaining our ideal or driving it from us, than any other thtag. Most human beings could be liv­ ing in comfort and happiness, if they only knew the powers locked up in themselves and had learned the secret of using their minds to back up their efforts on the mate­ rial plane.

Later, in Bergstrom’s department store, you might have ,taken a second look at the pretty little clerk who sold you a hat. But if someone had told you she would one day be world famous in pictures Ifor her portrayals of romance, pas- lSicoi and ecstasy, it would Imve seemed too fantastic to believe. ' Greta Garbo was bom in 1905 in .the mill district of Stockholm. Her father was a poor machinist, and her mother an. uneducated farm woman. The mysterious airs and aloofness of the great Garbo of to­ day are natural, for they were traits Of the sensitive little daughter of this poor family. Her father died when shfe was fourteen and she went to work in the department store to ihelp support her penniless mother, her small brother and sister. The m anager of the millineiy depart­ m ent chose her to model hats and, through publication of photographs m ade then, she was given a chance in motion pictures. Her rise to fame was rapid, and the little lather girl of Stockholm became the greatest example of modern motion picture publicity.One of her very first pictures was awarded the Nobel prize, and she received the medal of the New York Film Critics for her performance in "Anna Karenina.” Men fought duels over her, and famous direc­ tors, writers and actors have sought her favor. So, think twice before you laugh at that neighbor's child with the theatrical ambitions. The great Garbo was once a lather girl! • * » MOTOR BOAT KING WAS A CATTLE HERDER COMETIMES I think we place too JJ much emphasis on the stigma of failure. A man may fail at one thing after another that he at­ tempts, but he is never a failure Jiimself until he quits. Many a for­ tune has been built upon past mis­ takes. Gar Wood’s father had a viewpoint something like that, and he instilled into his children the be­ lief that even though they failed, in an endeavor, they had fun in try­ ing it.. ' ' Gar Wood was bom in Mapleton, Iowa, in 1872, one of 13 children. iAll of the children had to earn mon­ ey early to - help make expenses, and Gar had little formal school­ ing. When only a boy, Gar worked as a cattle herder for one dollar a day. He loved boats and enjoyed constructing mechanically run mod­ els from clock parts. At the age i>f thirteen, his unusual knowledge of boats ran by motors got . him a job in Duluth on one of the first gasoline craft to dock there. As automobiles became ' popular. Gar Wood was hired to sell them. He obtained one odd job after an­ other. : He was a teacher of elec­ tricity and gasoline motors in ia night class. He ran a garage for awhile in St. Paul. One thing after another he tried, and failed to ad­ vance. - A less philosophical man, a- less courageous man might have become stagnant ' But not Gar Wood. His mind was ever alert to new opportunities in mechanics. Then he perfected a hydraulic hoist for trucks, risked the family’s sav­ ings in constructing a model, and became wealthy almost overnight.' Suppose this man had been ys utterly stricken with sham ^ as som e of us think we m ight be, when he failed in his first attem pts'to «nake a successful living. He prob­ ably never would have ^ad the cour­ age to risk all the-money he had saved for the model of an invention ethers told him was impractical.' S-W NUServiGe. N. Y. State Police Lift Mask from Hollywood^ Wonder Man John Montague Beat Bing Crosby at Golf Using Baseball Bat, Shovel and Rak6. B y W ILLIA M C . U TLElT MOHUCKSsaid Bing Cros- •Jby’s burly golf partner, “I could beat you using a ball bat, a shovel-and a rake!” Now, if you have ever seen Bing Crosby play golf you will realize that this challenge would not be unlike.telling Joe Louis, '“I could lipk you with one hand tied behind my back.’’ The dreamy-eyed crooner’s aver­ age is about 74, which is golf of a professional caliber. The arrogant gentleman had been in the habit of “spotting” Bing a stroke on each of five holes and collecting with withering consistency. “It’s a bet,” said Crosby, and it was decided to play one hole, for $200. Bing, using the regulation bag of clubs, took two shots to the green and two putts for a perfect par four. The other party to' the ar­ rangement strode to the tee, gave his ball a little toss in the air and whaled it with a baseball bat, swinging in a manner that would have turned Babe Ruth green with envy when he was in his prime. The ball traveled 350 yards into a trap. With an ordinary shovel this remarkable athlete played an “ex­ plosion” shot to a point within eight feet of the cup. Wielding the rake like a billiard cue, he hold out the ’putt” for a “birdie” three. “That,” crooned Crosby, "is enough for me.” He\wandered un­ certainly in search of the nearest psychopathic hospital, poorer by Dead Canyon road—three quarters * of a mile—in five shots, with plenty -Wonder Man Shuns Publicity. of room to spare. George von Elm, Some screwy, magnificently a member of the club and former screwy, stories have come from national amateur champion, testi- Hollywood, where press agents have that he played with Montague the imagination of an Edgar Rice for a month and Monty never was Burroughs and the conscience of over 68; such golf could win any Baron Munchausen. But the screw- championship in the world!At Palm Springs, Montafiie broke the course record four times in four consecutive days. The last day he turned in the unbelievable card of 61! He wears out the exclamation marks on a reporter’s typewriter. Still John Montague preferred ob­ scurity. He refused to play in tour­ naments. Only once, after much pleading on the part of his friend Hardy, did he consent to compete. That was in the annual club cham­ pionship play. He sprained his an­ kle on the sixth hole, but finished 18 holes anyway—with a 64! Then he dropped out. Turns Down $20,000 Offer. He refused to talk to reporters. He would never allow himself to be photographed. Once when a pho­ tographer, concealing himself in bushes, managed to expose a few plates before Montague discovered him, Monty smashed the plates and paid the man $100 for the damage. Offered $20,000 to demonstrate his ability in a moving picture “short,” he said: “I won’t permit one picture, to be taken of me; why should I pose for a whole reel?” Despite Montague’s reticence, a light like that simply can’t be hid­ den under a bushel. Grantland Rice, the eminent sports authority, was reluctant to believe the stories which came via the grapevine froin the Lakeside club. They couldn’t be true. For instance, the one about the time Monty, calling his shot, picked a bird off a telephone wire 170 yards away with a brassie shot. Or the one about how he didn’t get a wjlnk of sleep for five days and five’ nights, then shot a 70. Or the one about how he could hit a dozen balls from any distance within 200 yards, bet $100 on each one that it would stop within 10 feet of the flag, and win money. Or the one— but why go on? He Couldn’t Prevent Fame. Rice determined to .find out for himself. He went to Hollywood and played a round with Montague. He decided all that had been said was true. During the round, Monty “picked tip” on the eighteenth hole, where he could have had a 64! Impressed beyond measure, Rice told of John Montague and his golf feats in a syndicated sports col­ umn. Westbrook Pegler wrote a col­ umn about him, describing him as a combination of Paul Bunyan, Pop- eye the Sailor Man and Ivan Ska- vinsky Skovar. - Soon there were other stories. These : found interested readers. Some were even fascinated.. One such fascinated reader was John : Cosart, of Troop D, New York state' police, Oneida, N. Y. Somehow this thirty-two-year-old Montague, with his golf genius, h is' Strength and his huge 220-pound frame, seemed familiar. Cosart reflected. Wasn’t this Montague a dead ringer for La- Verne Moore—“Bull” Moore, as “the boys” called him—whom the policeman had known seven years- ago? Moore, &e son of a steel worker, had been a mlghty^youth. He, too, 'had .been; abl# to lift 0ner end of an automobfle'with one hand,'' could lick three men at once. He used to smash dozens of cue balls while “breaking the rack” in pool games. He had been a prep school football and baseball star;—once he Bing Crosby, radio and screen star, who got trimmed in the re­ markable golf match, but befriended the victor in a time of need. iest thing about this story is that it is true. It happened, two years ago, and since' that time John Montague or LaVerne Moore or “Bull” Moore (depending upon your point of view) has been the most talked-of man in the golfing world. John Montague, as the film colo­ ny knows him, came to Hollywood three years ago. His ability to play golf was astounding. He was handsome in his burly way. His manners were delightful. He was chivalrous with women. He appar­ ently had a bank roll. He had two Lincolns and a Ford. He could drink a fifth of Scotch and eight gin fizzes for breakfast and never bat an eye. Montague shunned publicity. But as Greta Garbo proved, one sure way to get into the limelight is to try to stay out of it. No one in Hollywood knew who Montague was, whence he came or where he de­ rived his income, not even Oliver Hardy, the rotund comedian with whom the mystery man lived for a while. And apparently nobody cared. But a man can’t do the things Monty did and remain in oblivion. His feats of strength were as amaz­ ing as his golf prowess. He held up a heavy automobile while a friend changed a tire. With one hand he picked up George Bancroft, husky moving picture “heavy,” and stuffed' him in a locker, upside down, during a moment of horse­ play. HecouldevehliftOllieHardy in one hand. H eate adozeneggsin less than half a minute. He (it was. whispered) had whipped from three to six men at one time. Drives 400 Yards. But these exploits pale beside Monty’s feats on the links. He drives straight as a die, and con­ sistently from 40 to CO yards far­ ther than the longest'drive Bobby Jones ever made. Driving balls into a slight wind he has averaged more than 300 yards per drive. With, the same slight wind in back of him, 375 to 1 400 yards per drive! He seldom ,putts; his approach shots iare so perfect they leave him putts conceded by his partners. To win a bet he drove a ball from the first tee of tie Lakeside club across John Montague, strong man golfer of Hollywood, equipped with the “clubs” he used in taking a $200 golf bet from Bing Crosby. struck out 19 batsmen in a game. Young Moore’s golf had been good enough to land him a job as a professional at the Clayton, N. Y., country club. He, once had played the nine-hole municipal course at Syracuse in 28. Moore Had Police Record. Moore had a passion for making records, and some of them were po­ lice records. He got a six-months’ suspended sentence in 1927 for pos­ ing as a policeman and taking $50 from a grocer accused of selling liquor. On the night of April 5, 1930, four young men held up a roadhouse near Jay, N. Y., talcing $700 from Kin Hana, the owner. When Hana’s father-in-law, Matt Cobb, objected, they gave him a vicious beating. As the robbers made their get­ away, one of their cars struck a culvert. One robber was killed. Two were captured and got 16-year pris­ on terms. The fourth, believed to have been “Bull” Moore, dis­ appeared. 1 The New York state police sent Moore’s fingerprints to the Los An­ geles police department. On last July 9'Hollywood’s strong man was arrested in the Beverly Hills apart­ ment which he shared with Oliver Hardy, and charged with the New York robbery. When they took him to jail he admitted that he was “Bull” Moore and that there was no longer any reason for avoiding pub­ licity. He posed willingly for pho­ tographers, but refused to discuss the charges against him. Arrest Shocks Hollywood. The arrest was a bombshell to the many celebrated friends of “John Montague.’.’ To a man, they backed him. Dozens of them, all influen­ tial, wrote pleas to Gov. Frank Mer- riam, asking that he refuse extra- Guy Siibbee, screen character ac­ tor and friend of Montague, who tes­ tified to the golfer’s good character before Gov. Merriam, dition. Montague—or Moore—they said, had rehabilitated himself and was now an admirable citizen. “Monty is one of the- finest fel­ lows who ever lived,” said Hardy, who arranged for John’s^l0,t)00 bail, “and: I’m here to do what I can for a friend.” Bing Crosby said: “He’s a' great guy and a grand fel­ low. We’ll all back him 100 per cent.” ' Among Monty’s additional spon­ sors appeared such names as Bert Wheeler, Spencer Tracy, Cftarlie Chase, Guy Kibbee, Frank' Craven, Andy Devine, Gene Tunney, How­ ard Hawkes and George von Elm. Nevertheless, he went back to New York to Xace the music. The one mystery none of them was ever able to solve was the ori­ gin of Monty’s bank roll. He ad­ mitted he bet $200 a week oh the races. He was always flashing a handful : of hundred-dollar ’ bills.. Some rumors had it that he owned a gold'or silver mine in the desert, to which he returned when in need' of fresh capital. But anyone' who ever attempted to follow him was lost in a cloud of dust. .©Western Newspaper Union, * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * S T A ? .

It is “TheXife of Emile Zola” with PaiU Muni. As crusader for the oppressed, as the most elo­ quent u d forceful man ofhis time, Paul Mnni gives an inspired per­ formance. Don’t let the praise of this picture, drive you away from it with a faint suspicion that it may be educational, but dull. It offers the most exciting and thrilling evening you could spend in a theater. With radio’s summer lull over soon dozens of big programs will be angling for your attention.

Perhaps John has run short on champagne since throw­ ing a bottle ot the precious liquid into the face of a French mayor. Uncle Bob Dougnton, aged-Con gressman from the 9th district, has about made up his mind to wrest the Senate seat from Bob Reynolds, dripping wet Roosevelt yes man. who misrepresents dry Western Carolina in the 'J.

Al Smith is out working for the election of Senator Copeland, who is running for mayor of New York City on the old fashioned demo­ cratic ticket. We are afraid that Al will defeat Copeland. LaGuar da, present mayor, poses as a Re­ publican but is a Farley-Roosevelt worshiper, and a man whom we consider a sheep in wolf’s clothing. Here’s hoping Copeland will beat the everlasting daylight out of the Italian mayor. Ready For Business, Mr. E Pierce Foster’s cotton gin Is ready for business.

WITH BANNERS v t i ' l I I' SYNOPSIS Brooke Reyburn visits the office of Jed Stewart, a lawyer, to discuss the terms of an estate she has inherited from Mrs. Mary Armanda Dane. Unwittingly she overhears Jed talking to Mark Trent, nephew ot Mrs. Dane who has been disinherited Mrs. Dane bad lived at Lookout Bouse, a huge stnic* tare by the sea, built by her father and divided into two, for her and Mark’s father. Brooke had been a fashion expert, and Mrs. Dane, a “shut-in,” hearing her on the radio, had invited her to call and developed a deep affection for her.' M ark'discloses' that Mrs. Dane had threatened to disinherit him if he married Lola, from whom he is now divorced. He says he does not trust Henri and ClotHde Jacques, Mrs. Dane's servants. He says he is not interested In an offer of Brooke's to share the estate with him. Leaving her department store job, Brooke refuses an offer to "go stepping" with Jerry Field, a carefree young man who wants to m arry her. A t a family con. ference she learns she must live at Lookout House alone, since Lucette, her younger sister who is taking her job, her brother, Sam, a young playwright, and her mother, plan to stay in the city. Jed and Mark are astounded when they hear from Mrs. Greg­ ory, a family friend, that she had wit- nessed a hitherto unknown will with Henri and ClotUde two weeks before Mrs. Dane died. Brooke had arrived just as she was leaving. Jed suggests that Mark open his part ot Lookout House, get friendly with Brooke and try to find out about the will. Jed agrees to stay with him. Mark aceepts Brooke’s Invitation for a family Thanks, giving dinner at Lookout. Mrs. Reybura announces on Thanksgiving eve that she has been Invited to England. Sam and Lucette decide to move in with Brooke and ' Sam plans to produce a new play locally. After the Thanksgiving dinner Brooke tells M ark that little of Mrs. Dane's sUver col* lection is left. Jerry Field and his sister Daphne drop In and announce they wfll be neighbors for the winter. Sam adds them to the cast of his play. Later Inspector Harrison of the local police visits Mark gnd is informed about the missing will and sUver. As Harrison leaves, Lola arrives. She announces that she and her new hus­ band, Bert Hunt, have started a neighbor., hood filling station. M ark almost makes a break about the missing will and Brooke is suspicious. CHAPTER V Continued “ You’re a darling, Brooke. I ap­ preciate now the color, and the sense of ‘God’s in His Heaven, all’s right with the world’ you brought into Mary Amanda Dane’s life. I had intended to start a boycott against you and your family here because you had cut Mark out of his inheritance, but he asked me to be nice to you. I adore that boy. I would do anything for him. He - lived in a nightmare of humiliation with a wife who came home night after night barely able to keep her feet. Why, why can’t women real­ ize that it’s their privilege to keep up the standards of decency? He stood by her, though, and held his head high, and wouldn’t allow his soul to be warped by the experi­ ence.” • Brooke left her town car in the garage when she reached Lookout House. She was thoughtfully draw­ ing off her gloves as she approached the garden door of her house. A stream of light laid a golden path on leafless shrubs and graveled walk. A woman was at the door! A woman in a fox cape. Mrs. Hunt! Talking with Henri. Brooke stepped into the purple shadow of a spruce. She could see and she could hear: “If you keep a level head we can’t lose, Henri.” The man’s murmur was indistinct. He closed the door softly as the woman went down the steps. She flung a furtive look at the windows of the house before she vanished in the dusk. “That seems to be that,” Brooke said to herself, before she started around Mark Trent’s house that die might enter her own front door un­ observed by a possible watcher in the garden. As she entered the living-room at Lookout House, she rang for Henri. The green parrot s q u a w k e d , “Stop!”, ruffled his feathers, and hopped up and down in his cage. She was standing near the fire, let­ ter opener in hand, looking' over the mail she had found on the desk when the butler entered. “Did anyone call, Henri?” “On the phone, Miss?” “At the house.” Henri opened the’door of the par­ rot’s cage. Mr. Micawber hopped to his shoulder and began tweaking his ear. “Never mind about the parrot, Henri. . Answer my question.” “But I take him out like this for a walk around three times a day, Miss: the old madame wanted him to have a change of scene. Not a person called-at this house. Were you expecting someone?” “Yes, the lady who is to have charge of selling tickets for the play phoned that she might come this afternoon. Probably she couldn’t m ake it. That’s all.” {Her eyes followed him as he left the room with the green bird mut- Tering on his shoulder. Always She had distrusted the m an of whom M ary Amanda Dane had been so fond. Why should he have lied to her about Mrs. Hunt’s presence at the garden door of Lookout House? Because the woman was there to see him of course. With her thoughts still on Henrl and his eva­ sions, she slit one of the envelopes In her hand and drew: out the letter it contained. AU thought of the but­ ler fled as she saw that the letter­ head was that of the firm for which she had been fashion .adviser. . D ear M iu Reyburnt- she read— Any chance ol. your-wanting a Job?

Of course she couldn’t accept — some girl who needed the money should have the chance—but it was thrilling to know that she was wanted. Palm Beach. AU sunshine and fragrance and flow­ ers. What a contrast to this stem and rockbound coast with the pound of. surf, the wail of the siren, and the cries of gulls, to which she was anchored for the present. The contents of the letter glowed in her mind as she dressed for the evening. It was heart-warming to know that her hard work .had been appreciated. Not until later, as', snuggled in a big chair before the fire in the Iiv- ing-room, she waited for Lucette and Sam to change for dinner, did the memory of Mrs. Hunt’s pres­ ence at tiie garden door recur to her. Now it surged to the' top of her mind. With unseeing eyes on the green parrot back in his cage, she thought of the woman’s warning to her, of her threat to Mark Trent —it had been a threat, in spite of that Sugary “darling.” What had she meant? What Object could Henri have had in denying her presence? W M SM SSM “How Perfectly Grand!” TSSty should the remembrance of the low voice declaring: “If you keep a level head we can’t lose, Henri,” send icy prickles crawling up her spine and, coasting down? Brooke thoughtfully smoothed the lace of her dinner frock, lace the very shade of the high Ughts in her hair. If this were a movie, there might be a trick cupboard in the green paneling in which the silver had been hidden, but there was nothing so exciting here. She had been at Lookout House w hen the walls and trim were painted. “Calling car 5! Car 5! Car 5!” The frenzied call brought Brooke to her feet, set her heart thumping madly. Then she laughed as the parrot with a squawk preened his green and yellow feathers. She made a disdainful face at the chuckling bird “Mr. Micawber, sometime when you yeU like that I’ll forget that I’m a perfect lady and wring your neck. Sam, did you teach the parrot that poUce radio caU?" she demanded, as her brother entered the room. - His eyes twinkled behind the. lenses of his horn-rimmed specta­ cles. . He pulled, a piece of cracker from the pocket of his blue coat. “Sure, I taught him. I've been at work on that bird ever since I came. Here, stout feUa!” The parrot twisted his head com- pletely round, blinked Udless eyes, before he nipped at the reward Udiich Sam had thrust through the' bars of his square cage. “That bird’s a peach, Brooke. You can teach him anything if you try hard enough. Boy, I wish I had him in the play. He’d show some of the stiffs how to speak their lines.” “Who’s the biggest problem?” "Daphne Field. She’s pretty enough but dumb. She’ll stop the show,., all right, but not because she’s an actress. Hers is a feed- part for the leading woman. She’s one of those darnfool girls who go off. their heads in a crisis—in real life, I mean, not in the play. Glad she’s not in the lead. Laura Crane, who is, is good; she’s got plenty on the baU.” “How is Jerry in his part?” “Okay, but I don’t lfice the man who is playing the male lead. He’s a spotlight'hog. Iw ishM arkT rent would take it. He’s just the type and a natural. I think he’s great— and—he’s dam friendly, but—” Sam leaned against the mantel and faced his sister. “Have you ever thought that he is not particularly keen about the Reybum family?” Brooke said thoughtfully: “Would he be likely to be keen, as you express it, about a family WhichiWaslSpending money that he felt should be his? I think he has behaved decently.” “Who said he hadn’t? I have a kind of feeling, that’s afi. He told Jed Stewart that we might take anything we liked from his house for stage setting. But all things consid­ ered, I’ll be glad when the show is over; sometimes I think I’ve writ­ ten a smash Iut and sometimes that the play is just a lot of tripe. I daren’t hope for one or two first- stidng critics to give me the low- down on it. Anyway, a manager who liked those two sketches I wrote for the Workshop is coming for the opening to give it the once­ over, and he’ll bring a New York producer.” “Really, Sam! How ,perfectly grand! We—” “Hi! Soft pedal! Here comes Lu­ cette. I don’t want her to know that they’ll be in front, it might rat­ tle her.” There was the sound of running feet on the stairs, a gay voice sing­ ing. Lucette dashed into the room. Her black hair was silky; her thin frock was only a shade redder' than her lips and cheeks and fingernails. She dropped to the rug in front of the fire, hugged her knees, and looked up at her sister. “How soon do we eat, Brooke? I’m starving." “Henri waits till he hears you tumble downstairs before he an­ nounces dinner. W hatkindofaday did you have?” “Hectic. Every woman in the city apparently has gone sports- clothes minded. > They’ve stopped boasting of the extreme age of their frocks and hats and have begun to spend real money. They are buy­ ing for themselves and for Christ: m as gifts in spite of the fact that prices are beinfe stepped up. I should worry. I get a sliver of com­ mission on my sales. The girl who has taken your place had just ona of those days, today. 'Madame Ce­ leste was on the warpath. I brought Jerry Field down in the car. He was a gob of gloom when he came in and you were not here. By the way, who do you think runs that new fill­ ing-station in the white cottage? “Mark Trent’s ex-wife and her husband!” CHAPTER VI Brooke stood before the fire in the softly lighted living-room at Look­ out House. Three days had passed since she had received the letter offering her the Palm Beach posi­ tion, since she had heard that the Hunts were the proprietors of the filling-station she had been patron­ izing. She had refused promptty the business offer and had dropped it from her mind, but she couldn’t forget the other. Sometimes she wondered if she would ever think of anything else. Questions were ever­ lastingly popping up. Had Lola Hunt gone to Mark Trent’s house to tell him about it, or had he known al­ ready? Why later had the woman been talking so confidentially to Henri at the garden door of Lookout House? What had she meant by: “If you keep a level head we can’t lose, Henri”? What was behind that snapped off "wit” of Mark Trent’s? - Why was she spending a mo­ ment’s thought on Mark Trent’s problems? Hadn’t she plenty of her own? She frowned at the empty gilt cage. Where was Mr. Micaw­ ber? When she had come in this afternoon, Henri had been wringing his hands. Hehadgonecom pletely French as he chattered, but she had gathered from the jargon that when he had stepped out on the lawn with the parrot on his shoulder,■ the door had banged behind him and the frightened bird had flown away. It wasn’t that she cared for the par­ rot, she detested him, but Mrs. Dane had loved him and she felt as if she had broken faith with her benefactress., « “Wake up, sister!” Lucette prod­ ded from the doorway. “Sam and I have been staring at you for three minutes, trying thought transfer ence. Nothing doing. We couldn’t penetrate your skull. You’ve been scowling as if addressing a hall full of women who refused to rally to your one-time battle-cry: “Old age isn’t necessary, it is nothing but a germ! Watch out tiiat you don’t pick it up!” Brooke laughed. “I had no idea that the precepts of her elders made such an impression on our little sis­ ter, had you, Sam?” “No. I-W here is Mr. Micawber?” Brooke told him. “No kidding, what do you know about that! I’ll bet Henri let fahn go.” “He wouldn’t do that, Sam, though he shduld have known better than to go to the open door with him. Mrs. Dane wouldn’t have the bird’s wings clipped; of course he would fly when he got the chance. Henri takes 411 the care of him, thank heaven. I think he adores him, if he. can adore anything. Curious, Mr. Micawber likes Henri and you; he doesn’t try to conceal the fact that he dislikes Lucette and me. Fm really troubled about the parrot. He may be flying outside, -and Mrs. Dane was so careful never to ex pose him to draughts. Who is call­ ing,' I !wonder?” Brooke asked, at the butler passed in the hall on hit way to the front door. ^TO BE CONTINUED! IMPROVED- UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for September 19- CHOICES AND THEIR CONSE­ QUENCES IN A NATION’S LIFE LESSON TEXT—Deuteronomy 11:8-12, 26- 22.GOLDEN TEXT—Choose you this day whom ye will serve.—Joshua 24:12. PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Country.JUNIOR TOPIC—Choosing Sides.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— The Importance of Our Choices. ___YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— My P art in Making Up the NaUon’s Mind. Nations as well as individuals are responsible before God for the man­ ner in which they live. They enjoy the blessings of right living and suffer the penalty of wrong moral choices. While it is true that na­ tional leaders may not always re­ flect the true character of the peo­ ple, it is generally true that there is a sort of nation^ character which over a longer period of time accu­ rately represents the moral (condi­ tion of the people as a whole. Many earnest men and women be­ lieve that the United States of America stands today at the cross­ roads of national moral decision. There has been an unquestionable decadence of true religion, of home life, of social purity, and a growth of moral indifference and outright wickedness which causes men who think to cry out for a revival of old- fashioned spiritual and moral stand­ ards ere it be too late. The most effective, and in fact the only really effective way to bring that about, is a revival within the church of Christ, and a resultant renewal of its service in winning men to Jesus Christ as -their Saviour and Lord., A 24-page booklet “Lessons in Soul- Winning,” by Dr. Will H. Houghton, will be sent by the writer without charge to’those requesting it. If. possible enclose a 3 cent stamp. I. Right Choices Result in Blessing (vv. 8, -9). Making the right choice is in fact a simple matter, for it means only obedience to God’s commandments. God is the author of the moral law. He alone can and does deter­ mine what is right and wrong. Man need not determine, nor is he equipped to decide that question. He can and must relate the details of his life to the law of God. How im­ portant it is then that he properly understand that law, and what folly it is to neglect the study-of God’s Word, where the commandments of God are. made known unto men. Choosing God’s way means for both men and the nations which they make up (for my country is in the final analysis myself, and other individuals like me) the assurance of God’s blessing and prosperity. H. God Encourages Right Choices (w . 10-12). Our. God is the great and untiring “ giver of every good and perfect gift.” We need but to lift up our eyes and look at His handiwork, or stir up our memories to recall his goodness, and we know that he and all his blessed works encour­ age us to do right—to live right. But, alas, all too often God’s choicest gifts are perverted and are used to bring the very opposite re­ sult. The most beautiful lakes and naturally delightful surroundings are used for resorts and clubs which all too often lead men to moral de­ struction. Parents almost fear that their daughters may be too attrac­ tive, for the world, the flesh, and the devil are constantly out “scout­ ing” for beautiful women whose very God-given beauty may be used to glorify sin and lead others into disobedience to God. HL Right and Wrong Are Funda­ mental and Eternal (w . 28-32). It needs to be repeated over and over again in these callous and in­ different days that there is laid down in the very constitution of the entire universe a moral distinction between right and wrong. Right is always right, and wrong is defi­ nitely and eternally wrong. There is no moral twilight zone, where things are neither white nor black, but a neutral gray. Note that the difference between right and wrong was to be the same “on the other side of the Jordan.” Time and place have no power to change moral law. What was right or wrong for, your great-grandfather is right or wrong for you. What was right in your home on the farm is right in the city where you now live, or vice-versa. The passing of the years or a change of' residence does not alter that law of God. May God help the people ot our nation, and all the countries of the earth, to remember that it is still true that “righteousness exalteth a nation:, but sin is a reproach to.any people” (Prov. 14:34).

President Roosevelt has signed bill providing for a government count of the unemployed, but it is doubtful whether the method that will be employed in takiug the cen­ sus of the idle will meet the appro­ val of the sponsors of the measure, who probably were mindful of the political value of a vast army of census takers. President Roosevelt had opposed any census that would not be in a manner continuous, arguing that even before the figures .could be compiled conditions would have changed, rendering it next to worth­ less as well as expensive. , Now' it is announced, that the census will be^oluntary and may be repeated at nine day intervals in order to keep a sort of perpetual inventory of the unemployed. Post­ al facilities will also be used both to facilitate the account and lessen the expense. „ Off-hand it would seem that voluntary registration of the un­ employed would- enlist the enthu­ siastic co-bperation of idle workers ..eager to be recognized. But even that system will have its faults. Some will not appreciate its worth whiteness .or sympathize with gov­ ernmental objective, while others with jobs may confuse things by forgetting their present meager in­ come in the thought that somehow the registration may work them in­ to a better-paying place. But anyhow it is a start, one that should have been-taken when the government began shoveling out money to make work available to .those who needed to earn to live, and when the count begins the job less should give a full and under­ standing ce operation — which, under the circumstances, is a lot to hope for.—Ex. And for that matter, look at some of the women at forty who won beauty cdntest at twenty. Tronsers Ridiculed ' The word “trousers” seems to be derived from the French word “trousse,” which signifies to tie or lace up tightly. Trousfers-first be­ gan to be worn about the beginning of the last century. They were much ’ ridiculed at first,, and it was hardly / considered respectable to be seen in them; In October, 1812, orders were -issued by Trinity and St. John’s college, London,' that students ap­ pearing in hall or chapel in pan­ taloons or trousers should be con­ sidered as absent.

We who have little Willie’s de sting in our hands some of us be­ ing more- or less ignorant in. our own right, find our own right, find ourselves between the devil and the deep blue sea. when we come to take counsel of our education lead ers concerning how to proceed in the best interests of the lad. AU sort of new fangted theories and plans are springing up. Some ot them would discard Latin and other courses from the curriculum and substitute practical studies. Others quite plausibly would try to work out some method of indivi dualistic study, and still others would discard tbe troublesome '*re port card” that ’ has been such a burden to the youngsters, weight­ ing their hearts and pockets might Iy before it is signed and returned to teach. In place of it tbe educa tors wonld have a questionaire that would serve as an index to the child’s natural inclinations as a basis for instructional service that would help to fit him for the future without bending him beyond hope of ever fitting him for his niche. But now comes the president of Wesleyan University to say that "For hundreds of thousands today a high school training is largely a waste of time, a waste of public funds.

Well, wife and I. after a two weeks and two days visit to relatives in Davie and Iredell counties, are at home again, and we sure did enjoy the trip. Wewereat the home of my childhood and mother, and there is no place to me more sacred. There were twenty of us born in that house, ten boys and ten girls, only two of us are living, mother's first and last eon. I think that is where the Click reunion ought to be held. I think that is one of the first Click houses ever built in all this country. We spent eleven days witb my daughter, Mrs. C. F. Stroud, in MocksviIUvand we sure did enjoy the kindness and comforts. Wespentseveral days io Iredell county with wife’s relatives, and sure did enjoy that too. They are farmers and good ones too. AU of them are kind and pleasant in word and act. There are more good peo­ ple than bad ones, in spite of the ganacs and sport?. The farm crops everywhere are good. But in places, the fruit crops are not very good, but they are u:- ing ^accordingly. The schools and ball games are doing fine. I believe those- who are running the old age pension, will get more of tbe money than the old and needy people. They ought to think about it more and handle it quicker. Well summer will soon be over. I wish you all a good fall and a happy Christmas and New..Year. J. F. .CLICK. ItFaiUpnAIl.

The Tax Outlook. Complete revision of the Federal tax system is to be undertaken in the next regular session of Con­ gress. A subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee has been authorized to hold meetings while Congress is adjourned. Experts of the Treasury Depart ment, together with the advisory staffs of the congressional tax com mittees. are now engaged on preli minary plans and estimates. Tbe purpose ot this interim ac­ tivity is to have prepared and wait­ ing, when Congress reassembles in January, a program to rewrite all existing tax laws. It will, however, be the same Congress which has just adjourned after appropriating nearly ten thousand million dollars. It will also be the same Congress that hired 30 “experts” to plug loopholes in the income tax law which nobody fully understood any more than they understand the new ‘ plug” law Consequently, there seems to be little or no reason to assume that tax revision will mean either sound er taxing or tax reduction The inexorable fact is that there can be no tax reduction unless there is drastic reduction of governmen­ tal spending. If Congress, in the late session, bad been able or willing to resist tbe demands of bureaucratic spend­ ers and pressure groups, tbe coun­ try today would be very much bet­ ter off. Tbe necessary appropriations for national defense and for essential Federal services could have been made; At the same time—with Federal revenues this fiscal. year running hundreds of millions of dollars a- bove last year tbe tegular budget might have been balanced, public borrowing curtailed, and at least some preparation made for reduc­ ing the monumental national debt. This would have laid a firm basis for tax reduction. • As it is, however, Congress is going at its task the, other way round. Tax revision is. to come first, and expenditures are to be*' looked at afterward. In all likelihood, therefore, Con gress will try to write more efficient and perhaps, in some respects, more equitable tax laws. But the underlying purpose > will be to make every impost yield as much Federal revenue as possible. The. one hope in the situation, for business enterprise and for the individual taxpayer, is therefore that Congress, having determined the revenue of tbe Government, will' endeavor therefore to keep its expenditures within the same limits.' Burdensome as the method may be. a balanced budget can. be ob­ tained in this way. ' ! And a balanced budget must be had—not only to ward off inflation, but also to diminish the tax burden which now mulcts the working­ man’s pay envelope, retards indus try, impedes recovery and restricts re-employment. , Tbe daty of Congress/is plain. For, under the Constitution, Con gress is made 'responsible for tbe fi­ nances of the Federal Government. —Washington Herald.

Ol Things BeauHf ul. Katharine Kaid, in Taylorsville Times. In our busy rushing world of to dav, when the days are never long enought to do all the many things that seems so necessary, and our lives are filled with unrest and wor­ ry wondering who the next wreck victim, the next kidnap vieiim, the next holdup and possible murder will be or the next suicide; or when a strange malady will break out in schools, or whether Dad will have a job the rest of the year, or what will become of the Court Plan, or America be drawn into war: I wonder if many of us are conscious of the fact. that Beauty does still ex'st oti earth today, that God still abides in His Heaven, and that so many of the beautiful things of life are ours only for the taking? Could we but look for. and be­ come aware of, one thing beaught- ful each day—-how refreshing to tired minds, how soothing to weary . hearts and relaxing to tense pent up nerves the experience would be! Maeterlinck tells us: ' It suffices not that beauty should keep solitary festival in life; it has to become a festival of every day.” Gotln The Way Of This Fire. The rebuke given tbe Prendent of the United States and the Democra­ tic party by John L. Lewis in his recent far-flung speech was grossly impudent, of course, and highly dis­ courteous, but in no-sense inapropos or without justification. Both the President and the party had placed themselves of their own volition in direct line of that pre­ cise fire. Lewis said:-■ ’‘It ill behooves one who has sup­ posed at labor’s table and who has been supped Ht labor’s table and who has been sheltered in labor's bouse to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its ad­ versaries when they become locked ih deadly embrace.” He was talking about tbs Presid­ ent of' the United States in those particular words. ' At Otber1POiiits in his speech, he was equally critical and nasty to­ ward the Democratic party leaden generally, and for the same reason. Lewis was thinking of that dirt Ct gift of funds which his United Mine Workers contributed to the Demo­ cratic campaign last year and the additional loan of $400 000 from the same source to the Democratic com­ mittee. by both of which Lewis knew that be would put the Ad­ ministration in his debt and position . himself to demand, witb the ex­ pectation of receiving, whatever he might desire at its hands. Itwasa consummate blunder on tbe part of the Democratic party leaders to accept such an alliance with Lewis and if the President knew about it at the time, which he pro­ bably did not. he was lax in not put­ ting his foot down against any such virtual commitment of bis party’s obligation to the radical labor leader.

PbJumd SU M M A R IZ E S T H E W O R L D 'S W EEKQ Western Newspaper Union. Opposition Surprises Nippon JAPANESE naval guns and-bomb­ ers carried the war 600 miles ' south of Shanghai when they at­ tacked the port of Amoy, which houses a huge Chinese fort and ar­ senal, opposite the island^ of For­ mosa. Their bombs carried little effect and the shore.artillery chased the warships, completely disabling one. The battle was but thirty miles from Hong Kong, recently ravished by a typhoon. * Elsewhere along the far-flung front the Japanese were meeting with opposition the caliber of which they had not expected. Along IJie Woosung front, 200,000 Chinese, in­ cluding crack German-trained divi­ sions, were successful in holding bade 60,000 Japanese; it was said to be the severest opposition the Japs have met since they fought Bussia in 1904. \ Japanese aerial bombardments continued in the Chapei, Kiangwan, Taichong and Yanchong districts of Shanghai. The continued peril of the intemational settlement and the French concession spurred the American, British and French con­ suls to demand of both the Japanese and Chinese that their forces be withdrawn from that vicinity. Scores of noncombatants were daily' being killed and wounded there by falling bombs and shells. But Japan’s long-awaited “big push” had hot yet materialized. It was believed large reinforcements were being awaited. The Chinese man power was beginning to tell against the inferior numbers of the Japanese. Only in the northern province of Chahar did the Japanese make real progress. There they captured the capital city of Kalgan. A commis­ sion of 100 “prominent” Mongols and Chinese (many of them known to be associated with the Japanese army) was setting up a new “pop­ ular” autonomous government ,un­ der Japanese contitil. The Chinese soldiers driven out of ChaHar were reported concentrating in Shansi province, to the south. " Plague Upon a Plague JOHN L. LEWIS, fire-eating chair- " man of 'the Committee for In­ dustrial Organization, let fly a re­ buke at President Roosevelt for im­ plied backwatering on campaign prom­ ises and binted at the possibility of a third party, in the elections of 1940. In a radio speech he declared: “It ill. behooves one who has supped at labor’s table and who has been shel­ tered . in labor’s house to curse with equal fervor and fine Impartialify both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly em­ brace.” This was regarded as an answer to the “plague on both your houses” which President Roosevelt called - down on extremists of both sides in the “little steel” strike. In his cam­ paign for re-election he had “supped at labor’s table” to the extent of a half-million-dollar contribution to. the Democratic national committee N by the C. I, O. Lewis suggested that it would be' a wise move for labor and agricul­ ture to wage their battles together politically. “Labor has suffered just as our farm population has suffered,”, he ,said, “from a viciously unequal dis- "iribution of the national income. “The exploitation of both classes of workers has been the source of panic and depression, and iipon' the economic welfare of both rests the best assurance of a sound and per­ manent prosperity." . — Chinese Won't 'Cooperate'! JAPAN’S aim in the undeclared war. is to make China, submit once and for all to her will, the , Japanese government virtually ad­ mitted through its foreign minister, Koki Hirota. The seriousness of Japan's intentions were obviated' y when Emperor Hirohito, departing ■from precedent, referred to the con­ flict in detail in' a public statement John L. Lewis W. E. Dodd from the throne, and when it was revealed that Nippon is preparing more appropriations for her already heavy war chest. Hirota blamed the Chinese central government for the present fighting because it refuses to “co-operate” with Japan in “maintaining peace” in eastern Asia. Japanese military action against China, he said, was taken to make impossible the re­ currence of the current hostilities. “Japan,” he said, “has no other ob­ jective than to see a happy and tranquil North China and Sino-Jap- anese relations so adjusted as to enable us to put into practice our policy “Since China, ignoring our true motive, mobilized her vast armies against us, we can do no other than to counter by force of arms.” The emperor, in addressing the housls of parliament, greatly im­ pressed his subjects with a review of the war, arriving at much the same, conclusions as Hirota had. The session of parliament was called to consider the appropriation of $592,000;000 for the campaigns in China, raising the total of the na­ tion’s war chest to $737,000,000. — ■¥— Dodd and Hull Disagree D Y THE time this is printed Wil- ■*-* Iiam E-.

Nicaragua issued a stamp bearing a map which showed an. area along’the Hondu­ ras boundary as “territory in dis­ pute.” Hondurans claimed it was an - affront to their sovereignty, citing the Spanish award which both sides accepted in 1906 and whicli was supposed to have settled the territory question. Hondurans were further incensed when Nicaraguan radio speakers hinted the Honduran army couldn’t lick a postage stamp, and proposed sending troops into, that country. UJl 'D(Maj) about Tombstone Inscriptions. PHOENIX, ARIZ.-A gentle­ man took me sightseeing Qirough a cemetery that abound­ ed 'in proud mausoleums and stately shafts. I figured he wanted to show me that rich folks continue to enjoy the utmost luxury even after becoming de­ ceased. How futile, and how vain are most tombstone inscrip­ tions. They give the dates of birth and death — events in neither of which the departed had any say-so — unless he committed suicide. And just as the av- Irvin S. Cobh erage graveside eu­ logy is a belated plea for the defense, offered after the evidence is all in, so an epitaph is an advertisement for a line of goods which perma­ nently has been discontinued. Somehow this burying ground stuff reminds me of hired critics of other men’s efforts. The difference between professional book review­ ers and the other obituarians is that the latter do their work after you pass on, but the reviewers can’t wait until you’re dead to-write your literary death notice for you. • Maybe critics are to authors what fleas were to David Harum’s dog; they keep authors from brooding on being authors. * * • Catching Barracuda.

It’s got so they don’t dare let a colored fu­ neral go past his house for fear he’ll rush right out and head the proces­ sion. On one of those days when there wasn’t a parade, he took Victor Moore and me out on his boat. We caught a mess of slim, yet fragrant fish. Leo called them barracuda, but, with their low retreating fore­ heads and greedy jaws, they looked more like shyster lawyers to me— the kind who chase ambulances and eventually get'disbarred. * • * Glad, Mad Artists. H e r e t o f o r e , the glad, mad geniuses, who produce master­ pieces of sculpture and painting which resemble nothing on heaven or earth or in the waters below except possibly some bad dream which these ,parties had once while feel­ ing pretty bilious, have depended upon the ultra-ults among the intelli­ gentsia for support. But now one hears divers million­ aires may endow for them an aca­ demy or a gallery—or possibly it’s an asylum for Ihe more violent cases. Anyhow,- there’s money be­ hind the cult, and when money gets behind a thing in this country, it usually flourishes, provided Uie money doesn’t get too far behind, as happened in 1929, when the rest of the country was trying to figure out what had become of the deposits and investments, which' we, of the sucker class, had entrusted to our leading financial wizards. Still, we of that same ignorant mass-group do not have to buy ex­ amples of this new schoool. We don’t even have to look at them unless we’re in Germany and are escorted to the official state-run display by a regiment of Nazi storm-troopers. And; aside- from their ideas of what constitutes art, it’s said that some of the artists themselves are not really dangerous,' merely annoy­ ing in an itchy sort of way. In other words, they’re all right if you don’t get one of ’em'.on you. Pngilistte Authors. I’M ALWAYS missing something. On the occasion of one really his­ toric battle between a brace of dis­ tinguished writers, I yawningly left the scene before Messrs. Sinclair Lewis and Theodore Dreiser quit swapping hard words and started swapping soft blows. And it was just my luck to be out here recently when Ernest Heming­ way threw a book—or maybe it was a publisher; anyhow some such hard, knobby object—at Mr. Max Eastman and Mr. Eastman retort­ ed with a tremendous push which damaged Mr. Hemingway not at all. The typical writer, no matter how red-blooded his style may be, packs all his wallops in his pen and never in his fist. There have been excep­ tions. Once Rex Beach cleaned out a night dub all by himself, but his opponents were hoodlums, not fel- low-writers. He had something sub­ stantial to'work on./ , Some of my belligerent brethren in the writing game never lose an argument, but, on the other hand, none of them ever won a fight Neither did'theirliterary opponents. In fact, next to the average profess sional pugilist, I can think of no one who, in the heat of combat, equals^ a writer for showing such magnifi-, cent self-control when it comes ei­ ther to inflicting personal injury or sustaining same. OtVIN S. COBB.Ct-WltUServte*. Natioad Topics Interpreted by WilliaAn B ruckart NatIoaat Press BaIMIns Wanhlngton, Xt. C. .Washington. — More and more newspapers throughout the country are demanding Brutal that the PresidentJapan invoke the terms of the American Neutrality act with respect to the war—undeclared though it is—that is raging on Chinese soil. These editorial expressions obviously will have considerable weight and will convince a very great number of American citizens that President Roosevelt ought to invoke the neu­ trality act and, by so doing, pro­ claim that Japan is the aggressor. That, in simple terms, is what,^a presidential .announcement of ap­ plication of the neutrality act would mean. There probably has never been a brutality comparable to the un­ speakable outrage which Japan is committing in China; certainly, never in modern times. It is a stain upon the name of the Jap­ anese people and the smooth work: ing of the Japanese military machine will never be able to offset the hos­ tility which the subjects of the Ris­ ing Sun are creating by this display of brutality. Although the Tokyo government has yet to say it is fighting a war, the Japanese aggression in China is just as much a war as though the. United States and Canada had taken up arms against each other and had proclaimed to the world that they were belligerents. The very fact that there has been no declaration of war, however, complicates the situation as regards the United States and Great Britain. Unless these nations, along with some oth­ ers ’which' have interests in China, are willing to shoulder the re­ sponsibility that comes when an out­ side nation says publicly that two powers are at war, neither nation can afford to endanger its neutral position by saying to the world that Japan is trying to subjugate portions of China. That is exactly what is happening. In spite' of the declaration of the Japanese statesmen that their mili­ tary machine is-only protecting Japanese nationals, the whole af­ fair may be treated as pure hypoc­ risy—as a movement by the Jap­ anese to gain control of new re-' sources, new land, over which the teeming millions from Japan may run as the hordes of Chinese are displaced. The whole thing shows how long we have been fooled by the persuasiveness of the J apane'se statesmen. You may ask: Whtit can we do about it? The answer is exceeding­ ly difficult. I have a fear that we can do nothing because of the in­ ternational policies that the United States pursued during the adminis­ trations of Presidents Coolidge and Hoover and those that are continu­ ing under President Roosevelt. Only once in all of those years did the American government speak out firmly concerning the apparent Jap­ anese plans and on that occasion the assistance given the United States by Great Britain and France amounted to little more than a whis­ per. So now the patience o f'a great many people is wearing rather thin. I think also, from what I hear in diplomatic circles, that the Brit­ ish lion has begun to. bare his teeth and unsheath his claws. Again, to what purpose I do not know, because the United States and Great Britain thus far have discussed no plan for acting in unison. Certainly, with­ out concerted action between them and including France,'little can be accomplished. It does seem that they coidd get together because of the community of interests but eith­ er the United States lacks leader­ ship in the circumstance, or there are some bugs-under the British and French chips about which we do not know. I repeat that in the face of Japan’s devastating actions and the evergrowing threat of her overlordship in the Far East, these three powers ought to work out an understanding by which they can trim the' wings of the. Japanese war birds.• • • As the fighting continues on Chi­ nese soil and as one disturbing act after another is Tough committed by theProblem Japanese, I imag­ ine many persons are going to .inquire why the United States does not brave world diplo­ macy and invoke the neutrality act. In1A at eventuality, there ought to be a clear understanding of the various implications and results that would .flow from such an Amer­ ican action. In' the Jrst instance, Japan is now virtually self-sufficient in the matter of munitions. If we declare an embargo against ship­ ment of war materials to the fight­ ing nations, I believe it is generally agreed the. action would hurt China more than it would hurt Japan. It would result in cutting off supplies which the Chinese sorely need. Americans are-wholly willing to sell supplies to them because, gen­ erally speaking, it is apparent that the sympathies of American indi­ viduals are with the'Chinese even though the government officially re­ mains neutral. Further, if our President declared that, war existed between Japan and China,, doubtless Japan would be encouraged to declare war on China formally. In that event the Jap­ anese immediately would establish a naval blockade of the Oiinese coast. . , * * * In some quarters in Washington, one will hear arguments that the United S t a t e s SomeSay ought to continueHand* OB to keep its hands off the-F ar East situation. That school of thought takes the position that the United States is not obligated either from a moral standpoint or from the neces­ sity of protecting American inter­ ests, to use force in putting Japan back within its own borders. The basic reason why these think­ ers argue against a firm American attitude, however, is that China nev­ er has been subjugated. China has been attacked; it has been over­ run from many quarters and it is now being overrun again; but it has never been conquered^ That sounds like a broad statement but history proves its truth. The Chinese through all of their thousands .of years of history have managed to survive and maintain their racial characteristics and traditions.. They never have sought additional terri­ tory. They have been content to do things in their own way and to ab­ sorb Western civilization slowly. In other words, the Chinese have gen­ erally allowed human nature to change only as human nature does change through the years.• * * But what of other world powers? Lately, the Chinese have entered in­ to a treaty with Whatof Soviet Russia by. OtherPower*? which that nation promises not to participate in war against China. The treaty is simple enough and yet what is Written there isonly a shad­ ow of what it all means. The So­ viet, while apparently not desiring to engage Japan in hostilities, is unwilling to see Japan go too far in extending her frontier. It is only a short while since Japan set up the puppet state of Manchukuo. It bor­ ders on Russian territory and the feeling along that border has been none too harmonious. It seems quite logical then that the Soviet , was de­ sirous of showing to Japan the pos­ sibility of an attack from two sides if Japan forces her tentacles too far inland in continental Asia. Also, it ought to be mentioned that the treaty between the Soviet and China may be influential in Europe. The general understanding is that Hitler has committed Germany to the aid of Japan if the Soviet moves against the island power. Besides this circumstance, the Soviet is un­ willing, if one may judge circum­ stances of the last two years, to en­ courage the ill will ef Great Britain. Dictator Stalin does not want to have Great Britain and France ar­ rayed against him and he can see obviously that Great Britain and France, as well as the United States, must favor China./ * * »■ Word comes by cable from Paris that the French government has na­ tionalized all ofTaket Over the railroads with- RaUxoade ™ the borders ofthat nation. It may be that this news item will be passed over by many persons with the remark that the condition-is sev­ eral thousand miles across the At­ lantic. It is, however, a most sig­ nificant step because France, along with the United States and Great Britain, long has held to the idea that private initiative and private brains always are better than gov­ ernment initiative and government brains. I call attention to this develop­ ment for another reason. It hap­ pens that about three years ago members of President Roosevelt’s so-called Brain Trust were planning exactly the same thing for the Unit­ ed States. . , , ' . Strangely, the terms by which the French .government, which is now completely socialistic, took over the railroads of France are identical with those which were under cimsid- eration by the Roosevelt : Brain Trust. . . It may be news to many persons to learn that the bunch of theorists who infest our government once actually drafted a bill for action by congress to nationalize the Ameri-' can railroads. That bill would have taken over the rail lines for their bonded -indebtedness and; would have left nothing at all for tlie stock­ holders. The French radicals have done exactly that thing in national izing the French railroads. It may be that “It can’t-happen here,” but I must confess a very deep. fear. It seems to me the time has arrived for those who believe in ownership of their own homes, possession of their - own money— whether the. sum be small or large —to awaken to ,the trend of world events.-■# Wcctnn Newspaper Union. ★ * * * * ★ * ★ * ★ * * * * * ★ » » * STAR DUST $ jMLovie • R ad io * * ★ *** By VIRGINIA VALE*** NO ONE could blame Robert Taylor if he decided to avoid New York City on his re­ turn from Europe. The recep­ tion his fans gave him was so frenzied a demonstration that several stalwart policemen are still nursing bruises. It was bad enough at the railroad station, where screeching women broke through police ltoes and shoved each other around in an ef­ fort to shake his hand. B utthatw as nothing to what occurred on the Berengaria just as the ship was about to sail, with him on board. Girls in their teens simply swarmed all over the boat, climbing over rail­ ings, breaking through guard ropes, hiding themselves under life boats. Sailing was delayed half an hour because a steward found two young­ sters hiding under the bed in Tay­ lor’s stateroom, and it was thought wise to search the rest of the ship. Taylor was wearing a three-year old battered brown felt hat, a brown sports coat, .gray slacks and shirty and sturdy brown sports shoes and " looked as wholesome and modest as a powerful farmhand. —- Before “Vogues of 1938” opened in New York, the professional dress models association gave a party for Joan Bennett, * and gave her a plaque to commemorate the occasion.

Silks A re M ost Sum ptuous TM s FaU By CHERIE NICHOLAS ’ 1 'HE fourth annual silk parade, is 1 on in country-wide pageantry and during this time your favorite stores will have an unusually wide selection of silk merchandise and the smartest new silk fabrics. Plan to do your shopping for your fall wardrobe at that time when the highlights of the season will be available. For the important evening wrap, silk and metal brocades in quaint­ ly beautiful colorings or exotic tones are in high favor. These are often elaborate in texture and include self and metal faconne as well as ex­ quisitely colorful metal brocaded flowers. For a floating full-skirted frock, silk and metal marquisette that reminds of oriental sheers that Veiled harem beauties, is new this season. The queenly figure descending the Stairs to the right in the picture is gowned in one of the opulent new silks. It is a black satin with self and metal faconne in a leaf pat­ tern. Here is a perfect demonstra­ tion of the new trend toward styling the gown with that utmost sim­ plicity that ignores any suggestion of trimming in order the . more to play up the superbness of the fab­ ric. It is interesting to note the gloves milady wears in that the cufis are finished with bands of glit­ tering sequins that match perfectly. . For evening there is nothing more breath taking than the colorful lac­ quer-printed silk satins. These fea­ ture flowers, geometries, Indian and Persian designs, and they are very new and important. See to the left in the picture how dramatically printed satin of the glamorous type drapes to the figure. Describing the swatches of hand­ some silks shown in the insets be­ low, the one to the left is a multi­ color stamp printed silk satin for evening. It will prove charming for a short-skirted young dance frock. It is also the type of silk that makes a fetching deep girdle for a black velvet dress—which is one thing about these more elegant silks: if your allowance does not permit buy­ ing yards and yards just a mere dash of them used in a trimming way on a monotone frock will give it an aristocratic air. To the right is a black silk satin with self and metal faconne richly interwoven into a leaf pattern.. It ranks high among silks that are done in a grand manner. Centered in the trio of insets is a black faille with silver metal band­ ings, suitable for trimmings, blouses, dinner gown or evening jackets. © Western Newspaper XJiUon. LEA TH ER TIE-BELT B r CBEKIB NICHOLAS This very good looking fall coat in bold herringbone patterned soft wool in natural beige has a notched collar of beaver and a wide crush belt of brown leather with fringed ends, each of which is a distinctive feature. The collaring of cloth coats with handsome fur is one of fash­ ion’s Wbst notable styling features this fall, while the use of leather in numberless trimming ways, es­ pecially for smart girdles, is one of the highest highlights of the mode this season. You can vision for your­ self the swank that a leather tie- girdle as pictured will give to coats made of cloth. The broad shoulders are also good points in the styling of the coat pictured. SMART FROCKS USE LAVISH EMBROIDERY A craze for embroidery is on. Some of the smartest newest wool­ ens for daytime frocks and for the stylish little separate jackets and bo­ leros and for waistcoats and blouses are embroidered. with an allover scattering of tiny motifs or perhaps with florals arranged in the popular striped effects. Knitted fashions also reflect the flair for embroidery in' that they carry flowers and designs done in bright yam s showing peasant influ­ ence. The black dress that has a gor­ geous bouquet embroidered like a corsage at either the waistline' or shoulder is a winsome number. Any woman who can embroider could be the happy possessor of a fetching dress like this for to “embroider your own” requires but little effort. Evening fashions fairly scintillate with d a tin g embroideries. Short sleeves, allover sequin-embroidered, enrich black velvet dinner gowns. Embroidery is done on lace on tulle, on velvet ribbons, that girdle the waist and so on and so on the story of embroidery, is endless this season. Even the simplest- linen, cotton or wool day dress is apt to yield to the present urge for hand stitchery of some fanciful sort. Youthful Effect Stressed in New Wedding Clothes The extremely youthful trend of this season’s clothes has had its ef­ fect on wedding gowns. The most recent - Paris brides have been dressed in demure creations of white mousseline or organdie which greatly resemble the frocks worn by French children for their first communion. Instead of the halo head veils or the conventional wreaths of orange blossoms, lilies of the valley or camelias, the dressmakers are us­ ing little round , caps of tulle with a long floating veil attached just in- back. Boomy Jackets A gray velveteen jacket with full­ ness at the front is sm art .over a pencil-slim wool dress in matching gray. - -IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAyl CHOOLLesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. 1 Dean of the Moody Bible Insatute of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for September 26 GOD IN THE MAKING OF A NATION LESSON TEXT—Deuteronomy 8:11-20.GOLDEN TEXT—Beware Uiat thou forget not the Lord thy God. in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and bis statutes, which I command thee,this day.— Deuteronomy' 8:11. PRIMARY TOPIC—TO Help Us Remem- ber.JUNIOR TOPIC—H ie Giver of Gilts.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— God in the’Making of a Nation.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— God In the Making ol a Nation. God in the making of the nation of Israel—this has been our general subject for a number of months. In this concluding lesson we meet up with a solemn warning that even though God’s mighty works have been revealed on behalf of a people, it is possible , for them to become proud and self-confident, forgetting him whose they are and whom they should serve, and perishing in their rebellion and sin. I. “Beware That Thou Forget Not the Lord” (v. 11). How could this people who had come up out of slavery and been led “through that great and terrible wilderness” (v. 15), who had been fed by God’s hand, who had re­ ceived “water out of the rock of flint,” who had become a great na­ tion by his grace and blessing, now forget God? It would seem unbe­ lievable, did we not know ourselves. We need this warning as badly as Israel. Shout a stirring “Beware” from coast to coast as this lesson is taught, for America is forgetting God. Space does not permit a re­ view of the appalling, facts here, but they are enough to make .one’s heart sick with sorrow and fear for the future of our nation. n . “Lest . . . Thou Say . . . My Power” (w . 12-17). How trenchant and altogether fit­ ting are the words of Scripture. Nothing could describe our times more succinctly and accurately than v. 17. Men are glorying in their ability to do things. Science has made mighty strides forward. Industry has brought forth so many striking developments that a single company is able to present as a re­ flection of its own work a veritable "House of Magic.” We honor those, who by skillful hand and brilliant brain produce ex­ cellent and thrilling results. Blit our question is, “How many are there who say, ‘God has done this thing. He gave the strength and the skill. His is the honor’?” Some there are who thus recognize him, but they are few indeed. Their name is le­ gion who say in. their heart, “My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth” (v. 17). God, forgive us, cleanse us, and give us grace to walk humbly before Thee! IH. “Remember the Lord . . . He . . . Giveth Thee Power.” (v. 18). Joseph Parker points out that a deep conviction of the fact stated in v. 18 “would turn human history in­ to a sacrament.” He says,' “What a blow this text strikes at one of the most popular and mischievous fallacies in common .life—namely, that man is the maker of his own money!” He makes a stirring plea (see People’s Bible. Vol. IV. p. 188) for bringing God, who has been “crushed like a rose leaf in the Bible,” out into the market place, into the office and the warehouse, for if man will make “his ware­ house into a church” he will never turn the church into a warehouse. Would that we could once and for all do away with all "Sunday re­ ligion,” and bring the gospel of grace and the laws of God into the: office, the factory, the school, and the home, for every day and every incident and transaction of life. IV. "If Thou . . . Forget. . . Te Shall. . . Perish” (w . 19, 20). Reading this passage in the light of our knowledge of what did hap­ pen to Israel, we agree that the warning was needed, even though it was not heeded. Shall we then dismiss the matter with perhaps an expression of regret that they so disobeyed God and missed his bless­ ing? If we do we miss the most important point in our lesson, for the fact is that our nation is just as dependent on God, and in. just as much danger of forgetting him and perishing. God punished even his chosen people in the day that they forgot him. Let not America think that she will escape if she goes on her way, forgetting God. We plead again, as we did last. Sunday, for a deep going- revival among God’s people, and a renewed zeal for the salvation of lost men and women. Every Day Happy and strong and brave shaU we be—able to endure all things, and to do all things—if we believe that every day, every hour, every moment of our life is in His hands. —Van Dyke. ‘ , Monuments of the Great Monuments! what are they? the very pyramids have forgotten their builders, Or to whom they were ded­ icated.

Early State Names If President Thomas Jefferson had had his say-so, there would have been more, than the present states comprising the Northwest Territory and most of their names would have been tongue twisters. As you know, the Northwest Territory consists of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota, but Jefferson’s suggested names were Sylyania, • Cheronesus, Michigania, Assem- sipia, Mesopotamia, IUinoia, Sar­ atoga, Washington, Polypotamia and Pelisipia. These names inn be found on the early maps.— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

W I T H SYNOPSIS .Brooke Keyburn visits the OfBce of Jed Stewart, a lawyer, to discuss the terms of an estate she has inherited from Mrs. Mary Armanda Dane. Unwittingly she overhears Jed talking to Mark Trent, nephew of Mrs. Dane who has been disinherited. Mrs. Dane had lived at Lookout House, a huge struc­ture by the sea, built by her father and divided into two. for her and Mark's father. Brooke had been a fashion expert, and Mrs. Dane, a "shut-in.” hearing her on the radio, had invited her to call and developed a deep affection for-her. Mark discloses that Mrs. Dane had threatened to disinherit him if he married Lola, from whom he is now divorced. He says he does not trust Henri and CIotilde Jacques, Mrs. Dane's servants. He says he is not interested in an •ffer of Brooke's to share the estate with him. Leaving her department store Job, Brooke refuses an offer to "go stepping" with Jerry Field, a carefree young man who wants to marry her. At a family con­ ference she learns she must live at Lookout House alone, since Lucette, her younger sister who is taking her job, her brother, Bam, a young playwright, and her mother plan to stay in the city. Jed and Mark are astounded when they hear from Mrs. Greg­ ory, a family friend, that she had wit­ nessed a hitherto unknown will with Henri and Qotilde two weeks before Mrs. Dane died. Brooke had arrived just as she was leaving. Jed suggests that Mark open his part of Lookout House, get friendly with Brooke and try to find out about the will. Jed agrees to stay with him. Mark accepts Brooke’s invitation for a family Thanks­ giving dinner at Lookout. Mrs. Reyburn announces on Thanksgiving eve that she has been invited to England. Sam and Lucette decide to move in with Brooke and Bam plans to produce a new play locally. After the Thanksgiving dinner Brooke tells Mark that little of Mrs. Dane's silver col­lection is left. Jerry Field and his sister Daphne drop in and announce they will be neighbors for the winter. Sam adds them to the cast of his play. Later Bispector Har­rison of the local police visits Maik and Is informed about the missing will and silver. As Harrison leaves, Lola arrives. She an­nounces that she and her new husband, Bert Hunt, have started a neighborhood filling station. Mark almost makes a break about the missing will and Brooke is suspicious. Returning home, she sees Lola talking cov­ ertly to Henri. "Mr. Micawber/' Mrs. Dane's pet parrot is missing. CHAPTER VI—Contbmed —10— “Cricky! I forgot! Jerry Field is coming to dinner. Thought we could all go to rehearsal together. Do you mind, Brooke?” ‘‘Of course not, Lucette. Did you tell Henri to set a place for him?” Lucette nodded before she greeted Jerry Field. “How are' you, stranger?” “Little girls shouldn’t be. sarcas­tic, Lucette.” He unfolded a green waxed paper. “For you, Brooke.” “Gardenias! I’ve never seen more perfect ones. What wax-like petals! What lovely leaves! Thanks billions,. Jerry.”Brooke turned to the mirror and pinned on the dowers. She saw Jer- By E m ilie Loring1 C EmiUe Loring. WNU Service. mother as an excuse for staying away from the rehearsal; as prop­erty woman she wasn’t important yet. She was positively tingling with curiosity. What had Mark Trent to show her? Wlqr had his voice been hushed as if he feared he might be overheard? “Boy, you wouldn’t think old Mi- cawber making his getaway would leave such a hole, would you? It’s almost as if someone in Hie house had died.” Sam’s voice interrupted her thoughts. ‘!When we get back from rehearsal we’d better make this find-the-parrot-night. Suppose he’s hiding up in a tree on the grounds, Brooke?” “If he is, Henri will get him. He was white when he told'me he had lost the parrot. I’ll slip into a coat, go out and whistle for him myself when you’ve all gone to rehearsal.” “What’s the big idea walking out on us, Brooke?” Jerry Field de­ manded in his most spoQed-boy tone as he held Lucette’s coat in the hall. “I told you, a letter to Mother, and sandwiches to make. Bring the cast back here after rehearsal, Sam, for a bite to eat.” Lucette dashed out with Sie two men at her heels. As she watched from Sie porch, Brooke saw Jed Stewart join them from the Other House. Their voices and laughter drifted back. Did Jed know that Mark Trent had phoned? She wait­ ed, drawing in long breaths of the cold salty air, until the rear light of the car was but a red spark in the distance. When she returned to the living- room, Henri was collecting cups and saucers. She watched him in the mirror while she pretended to be absorbed in fastening the two gardenias more securely to the m . Souvenir roses in the golden bowl on the table repeated the colors in the rare Persian rug. The flickering lights threw fantastic patterns on the walls and smudged the butler’s face with shadows as he drew out Brooke’s chair. She smiled at her brother who sat opposite. “Cheerio, Samuel. Something tells me that ‘Islands Arise’ will be the hit of next season. Picture your adoring family in a box at the open­ ing, fairly swooning with pride when the audience, yells: “ ‘Author! Auth—’ ” The telephone interrupted. Henri answered it and returned to the din­ ing-room. “Probably someone panicky for fear she can’t get tickets to the great and only show of the season, Sam,” Brooke said on her way to the door. In the living-room she answered the call; “Brooke Reybum speaking.” “This is Mark Trent. I want to show you something. Make an ex­ cuse to stay at home from re­ hearsal, will you?” “Yes.” “Get Henri and Clotilde out of the house. Can you?’!. “It’s movie night in the village. They’ll go.” “Phone me as soon as they Start.” “I will.” “Good-by.” What could Mark Trent have to Show her? His voice had been drenched with mystery. Brooke was projecting and rejecting answers to the question as she went back to the dining-room. Shb wrinkled puzzled brows as She looked across the table at her broth­ er. . - - . “How many of what, Sam?” “Has the little old'memory, gone blotto? Didn^t you say the call was about tickets?” “Don’t beat me, Sammy. I thought it was. It was only a—an insurance agent who has been on my trail. How did the market behave today, Jerry?”Field reported jauntily and in de­ tail on the rise of certain of his pet stocks, and the shuttlecock of con­ versation was in the air again. As Brooke poured coffee in the living - room after dinner, she planned to plead a letter to her ShOLUUUt Ut ,UJi^HnOTSSWF-jHe stopped on the threshold, holding the silver tray. “Anything more this evening, Miss?”"Nothing, Henri, except that I wish you would impress it upon Clotilde—I can’t seem to—that when I order Rocquefort cheese dressing for a salad, I mean that, and not mayonnaise. -This is the third time she has made the mistake.” - “She thinks mayonnaise more suitable. You don’t like Clotilde and me much, do you, Miss- Rey- bura?” His smile was an ugly thing, having under it the suggestion that it would be to her advantage to like them. "I don’t!” was on the tip of Brooke’s tongue, but she caught the words bade. HWth the production of the play so near, this was not the time to change servant*. Afterthat she would get rid of the couple if L it meant doing the work herself. She temporized: . “Because I insist upon having my orders carried out, doesn’t mean necessarily that I don’t like you, Henri. Can anything more be done about finding the parrot?” “I’U look round before I go to bed, Miss, but I -think in the morn­ ing we’ll find him huddled in a cor­ ner near the house.” “This is movie night in the vil­ lage, isn’t it?” “Yes, Miss,- though if you are to be alone and mind—’’ “Of course you are to go, Henri.” Brooke Imd an instant of panic. Sup­ pose he insisted upon staying at home? ‘I shan’t be alone long. Mr. Trent and Mr. Stewart will be here with the cast after rehearsal for a little supper.” “Will the supper keep up tin late?” “Probably, but we will take care of the dishes." “Thank you. Miss.” “Have you put plenty of ginger- iale and seltzer water on fhe.ice?” “Yes, Miss. The mint is chopped and the fruit juices are ready tor the drink just as you told me.” Henri’s eyes seemed but sparks in cavernous depths. “Excuse me, Miss, you’d better like Clotilde and me. Wecould put you out of this house if we wanted to. Anything more?” — Brooke was too indignant to an­ swer. What did the man mean by the threat he had inserted so casu­ alty between two sentences? What did he know? Had Jed Stewart mid Mark . Trent confided to him their suspicions as to “.undue influence”? Were they grooming him to testify for them? Had they set him spying upon her? Should she repeat his threat and demand to know the truth when Mark Trent came? No. Better cool down. She was too fu­ rious now. She would wait until after Sam’s play. That must go smoothly; it might be his big chance—after that—well, after that she would investigate a few things, she would find out why Mrs. Hunt and Henri were so friendly, to begin with. With eyes wandering to the tall clock, ears strained to hear the chug of the servants’ fliwer on the drive, inhaling the scent of gardenias with every breath, her thoughts returned to Mark Trent’s message. Why had he phoned? Perhaps she was drama­ tizing his voice, perhaps it hadn't been mysterious except in her imag­ ination. “There they go! I’d know the wheeze of their car if I heard it among a million.. I’ll wait five min­ utes before I phone Mark the Mag­ nificent. Must be something in the air. First I have a hot chill and then a cold chill, I’m so excited.” She watched the clock. Dialed. Waited. Probably Kowa had gone to the movies. He—She put her mouth close to the transmitter. “Mr. Trent? Brooke Reyburn. Thejr1Ve gone.” . “Okay. I’ll be there like a shot.” Brooke replaced the telephone. His voice was excited. It had set her nerves tingling. She would be at the front door to open it before he had a chance to ring. In the hall she listened for his step on the terrace. Why did he take so long?' His “like a shot” was more like an hour. “I’m here,” a low voice an­ nounced behind her. In her surprise, Brooke leaned back against the door and looked up at Mark Trent. She never be­ fore had realized how tall he was, nor how black his gray eyes could be. “How did you get in?” . “The connecting door Upstairs. Took the quickest way:’ Lock that door. Give me/the key. I’ll put it in my pocket. Queer things are in the air.^We won’t take a chance at being.locked in or—out.” Tbatdidrit sound as if Henri were hi^sttol, Brooke thought, as she en­tered the living-room. '“Where is Mr. Micawber?” Mark Trent demanded, his eyes on the empty cage. Brooke told him what Henri had told her. “Um, lost him, did he? The plot thickens.” His voice was uncompromising, his eyes unflinching and direct as, hands in the pockets of his dinner jacket, his brows knitted, he looked at her. “Ooch, Pd hate to battle with you,” Brooke thought: “It would be like trying to dent a steel wall.” Aloud she said:. “What is the mystery? It is a mys­ tery, isn’t it? I’ve been jittery ever since you phoned.” His smile was a flash of white teeth below his small dark mus­ tache. “Glad I got my Big Moment over. Can’t have Sam monopolizing all the drama in the neighborhood. Sure the Jacques have gone?” “I heard their car go out. One couldn’t mistake its wheeze. I told Henri that we would have supper here for the cast after rehearsal and that he would not be needed.” “Fair enough.” He caught her h^nd. “Step on it!” Why -was Mark Trent afraid to have Henri, his tool—if he were his tool — know what he was doing, Brooke wondered, as, side by side, they, hastily mounted the winding stairs. She felt as if she were in a dream, as if at any moment she might waken to find herself snug­ gled in the wing chair before the fire. But the squeak of a tread was real; Mark the Magnificent’s muttered execration at the sound was real; so was his grip of her hand. Why was he so careful about being heard? He appeared friendly with her; was that part of his plan, his and Jed Stewart’s? On the second floor, before the door which opened into his house, he stopped. “Look,” he whispered. “I tried this, had a hunch I might get through quickly this way. When it opened, that key was in your side.” He turned the knob. "Better leave it where it is. We don’t want any­ one to know that we have seen it. Come.” - He followed her into the hall of his house and closed the door gently bto hind him. He pressed a button which switched on a light in -the. floor above and ran up the stairs. She followed slowly. Where'was he taking her? It seemed hours since they/had left her living-room. Suppose Henri slipped .back and found her gone? Would he suspect where she was? Of course he had left the'key in that connecting door. Who else would have done it? What business had he in Mark' Trent’s house? -Did he come for instruoa tions? (TO BE CONTINVEDI - By JEANNE FROM LUMBER YARD WORKER TO VICE PRESIDENT OF U. S. 'T'O KNOW whether you have cho- sen the right vocation for suc­ cess in return for your efforts is sometimes difficult to decide. But, once it begins to dawn upon you that you could go further in another occupation, it is time to change. The greatest advancement lies where your talents and interests are greatest. Charles Dawes, who made !the under-slung pipe famous when ,he became Vice President of the United States, might have been rel­ atively unknown if he had not changed his mind about the occupa­ tion he would follow. He was born in Marietta, Ohio, in 1865. He attended the public schools there and entered Marietta ,college, graduating at the age of nineteen. During the summer [months he worked in a lumber yard, shifting lumber. It is easy to imag- foe that without vision and analy­ sis, he might have set the proprie­ torship of a lumber yard as his goal. Dawes was always fond of music. He played both the violin jand the piano, and music has been |iis chief diversion. He composed !“Melody in A Minor” which Fritz :Kreisler, famous violinist, included Sn his repertoire. ! After college, Charles Dawes went to Work in the engineering depart­ ment of the Toledo and Ohio Cen- foal Extension railroad, working up [to chief engineer in charge of con- lStruction. He decided to study law, 'or he might have been simply a 'good civil engineer. Graduating from'the Cincinnati School of Law, he practiced for some years and (became interested in politics. Presi­ dent McKinley appointed him comp- ltroller of currency and, after four years of service, Dawes organized the Central Trust company of Chi- icago. He was general purchasing [agent for the A. E. F. during the !World war, and director of the budget bureau under President Harding. In 1924, he was elected Vice President of the United States under Coolidge.* 9 9 FAMOUS A VIATRIX ONCE DROVE A TRUCK 'I 'HIS is a note of encouragement ; A for “tom-boys” and particularly for parents who may not under­ stand them. Girls who fall into the classification of “tom-boys” usually [simply have a stronger spirit of !competition or a greater streak of adventure than other little girls. Their greater activity may be early expression of a sense of leadership which may later lead to fame. Amelia Earhart, queen of avia­ tion, was a tom-boy. Bom in Atchi­ son, Kan., in 1898, she was an un­ usually active little girl. Sheloved S b , rough and tumble games, and she could beat most ,of the boys-her age in sports and contests. She graduated from Hyde Parkv high school in Chicago and went on to a girl’s school in RydaL- Pa. Ekom school she went to Canada where she worked as a nurse’s aide in a Toronto war hospital ' Stories of World war pilots appealed to her sense of adventure and daring; and Amelia made her way to California, determined to Ieam to fly. Here her self-reliance and "tom­ boy” courage was helpful, for she had to earn the money for her in­ struction. Amelia Earhart worked for foe telephone company and even drove a sand and, gravel truck. Lat­ er, she attended Columbia univer­ sity. She held 28 different jobs while perfecting herself in foe art'of fly­ ing. In 1928, she won foe plaudits of foe world by being foe first woman to fly foe Atlantic. As a result of this flight she gained recognition as foe foremost woman flyer, became aviation - editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine, and vice president of two important commercial airlines, ch -w n u --------- &Here's What to Sew saks 'T'HIS is not a wishing-page, Mi- lady, even though it is from a book of exclusive fashions by Sew- Your-Own!

It is not a legal service. It is an informa­ tional service. Answers will be au- thoritive. The Soeial Security Board, throu Mr. J. N Freeman, Manager of the Board’s office at the Nissen Building in Winston-Salem, has consented, as a special service to The Davie Record and its readers, to answer all ques­ tions on the social security law sub­ mitted to this paper. QUESTION AND ANSWER. Question: I am a school teacher and have taught in North Carolina ever since I was 19 years old. I am or was 65 years old March 29. 1937. Will you advise whether I am eligi- gible for the Old Age ^Pension -and how to get it? Answer: The Social Security Act does not provide for old-age “pen sions.” Uy “pension” it is assumed yon mean old-age - assistance: The old-age assistance' provision of the Social Security Act is based on a Federai State co-operative plan and is administered solely by the State and local government units. For your information, the last session of the North Carolina legislature avail­ ed itself to participate in this Feder­ al-State co-operative plan .of old age assistance and passed a law that is administered by the State and coun­ ty welfare departments. For -de­ tailed information, relative to those who are eligible under this law you should consult your local county wel­ fare department. Question: I am a retired farmer 76 years old and by reason of the in* firmities of agq I have no income or adequate means of-support. Under the Social Security Act am !entitled to a benefit? Answer: Becauseofyourageyou are not covered by Title II, the old- age benefits provision of the . Social Security Act. However, under Title I of theSociaI Security Act provis­ ion is made for a Federal-State co­ operative program for aid to the needy aged who are 65 years of age and older The recent session of the North Carolina legislaturejpassed an act availing itself_qf this co-operate program. This program is admin­ istered solely by ttie State and local units o fth e welfare department. It is suggested that you consult your local county welfare department for information concerning your eligi­ bility. Question: I intend to start work­ ing in a canning factory on a part- time piece work basis. Do I come under the old-age benefit provisions of the Sociai SecuritygAct, and should I get.an account number? Answer: You do, and you Bhould apply at your nenrest Social Secur­ ity Board FieId Office for an account number and report It to your .em­ ployer. Part-time employment is not excepted from'the provisions of the Social Security Act. and the fact that you will be paid on a piece-work basis has nothing to do with.your be­ ing covered under the Act. Question. Ihave employed four to six men; since May, 1937. on con­ structing houses. My present con­ tracts will not end until December, 1937, or January, 1933, and I have no assurance that I shall ever em­ ploy these men again. Does this em­ ployment come under the Social Se­ curity Act and just what must I do to comply? Answer. The Social Security Acc applies to employers of one or more persons any one of whom is engaged in any employment which is not spe­ cifically excepted under Title VIII of the Social Security Act. Construc­ tion of bouses is nol an excepted em­ ployment. . To comply with the Act you should, as an employer, .file ap­ plication for an employer’s identifi­ cation uumber. usibg Form SS 4. This form can: be obtained from your Sociai Securily* Board - Field Office, post office; or from the Collector of Internal Revenue for your ...district. post office. UnderTitleVlIIofthe Social Security Act you are required to make monthly tax returns to the Collector of Internal Revenue, based on the wages paid your employees. These taxes became effective last January. Space forbids a more de­ tailed answer' in this column, and this paper has requested your Social Security Board Field Office to send directly to you full information in response to your quest rod. When can I begin to draw unem. ploymenl compensation? Answer. Unemployment compen­ sation laws are in operation through­ out Region IV. that is, in the Dis­ trict of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina. Virginia and West Virgin­ ia. In each of these unemployment compensation will be begun to eligi ble unemyloved workers on and af­ ter January 1,1937.

Farmers Are Urged To Hold Cotton Sale Tickets You have no doubt read in the papers that the government is going to make an adjustment payment on cotton this fall Full details of the exact method of handling this has not been received, however, what instructions we have received lead us to believe that- it wiil be almost exactly (ike tbe cotton adjustment payments of 1935. Thispaymentwillbe made on 65 percent of the base production as given by the 1937 cotton base-fortbe Soil Conservation Program: The pay­ ments will be the difference between the average price on the. date of sale and 12:. In view of this fact we are urging all cotton farmers to save their sales tickets until we receive further in­ structions. When we get the forma It will be necessary to have the buy­ er sign a form to the effect that he bought tbe cotton and also a state­ ment fcorathe producer as to who is interested in the cotton. it is understood that this will be. handled through the county agent’s office, and as soon as we receive de- . finite instructions we will make them ■ known through the papers.

P i e k c u u l .<!1 IMMflPTTEfi THE WORLD'SSUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S DVEEK • WcsUra Newspaper Union* M. Litvinoff Showdown on 'Sub' Piracy /"J REAT BRITAIN and France were massing the greatest de­ stroyer fleet ever operated in the Mediterranean sea, to police it and safeguard neutral shipping from at­ tacks by “pirate’ submarines, as a re­ sult of the agree­ ment signed by nine powers at Nyon, near Geneva. The powers signatory to the pact also in­ cluded Greece, Jugo­ slavia, Turkey, Bu­ rn a n i a, Bulgaria, Egypt and Russia. Italy and Germany had refused to attend the conference when Russia publicly accused Italy of operating the “pirate” submarines which sank two Russian ships, and threatened reprisals if Italy did not pay indem­nity. The principal provisions of the agreement, which Germany and Italy were invited to join, were: 1. Mediterranean shipping will be restricted to the regular ship lanes, ■which will be patrolled by French and British warships, in both the eastern and western stretches. If Italy agreed, she was to be al­ lowed to patrol the Tyrrhenian sea. 2. Patrolling navies will attack and attempt to destroy any sub­ marine which attacks merchant ships other than Spanish, without first giving passengers and crew op­ portunity to leave in lifeboats, as outlined in the 1936 London naval treaty. 3. Signatories expressly declare that they do not concede belligerent rights to either party in Spain. 4. Patrol ships arriving on the scene of an attack too late to pre­ vent it will be authorized to attack any submarine in the vicinity, pro­ vided they are satisfied it is the guilty one. 5. These measures will be execut­ ed by the British and French fleets anywhere in the Mediterranean with the exception of the Adriatic. East­ ern powers will protect neutral shipping in their territorial waters. 6. Signatories agree not to let any of their own submarines put to sea in the Mediterranean unless accom­ panied by a surface vessel, except in certain “exercise” zones. 7. Signatories will not permit for­ eign submarines in their waters un­ less in urgent distress or on the' surface and accompanied. It was plain that delegates knew that explosions might occur in half a dozen Eturopean capitals if their pact did not get into operation be­ fore there were any further attacks on shipping. They ; were embar­ rassed in conference by the Russian foreign commissar, Maxim Litvinoff, who insisted on naming Italy as the “pirate.” Russia at first refused to sign, on the grounds that the sec­ ond provision was no protection at all, merely requiring submarine commanders to be “gentlemanly” before sinking ships, and that it im­ plied recognition of both Spanish parties as belligerents. Britain’s Anthony Eden was reported to have convinced the signatory powers that it would be impossible for a sub­ marine to sink a ship under those conditions. China's German Strategy JAPAN’S long-awaited “big push” “ in China was believed definitely “on” as the Japanese assumed vir­ tual control of North Hopei, and made important thrusts into the Chi­ nese lines at Shanghai, after the most terrible fighting of a month of undeclared warfare. At about the same time, the Chi­ nese, heeding at last the advice of German officers generally conced­ ed the “brains” of the central army, began a strategic retreat to the “third area of defense” mapped out by these same officers after the Shanghai conflict of 1932, which was conducted under identical condi­ tions. Included in the Japanese drive to break the 20-mile Chinese line from the Woosung forts to Liuho were more bombings and shellings of the heavily populated Chinese districts of Nantao, Chapei and Lunghwa, with women and children account­ ing for most of the enormous casu­alty list. The Japanese conquest of North Hopei appeared to have been clinched with smashing victories at Machang and Tsinghsien. Tsingh- sien is 40 miles south of Tientsin and only 16 miles from Tsangchow, where the principal Chinese de­ fenses of the area are located. From Tsangchow to Paotingfu there exists a strong, unbroken Chinese line which includes the finest Chinese war equipment and the country’s heaviest artillery. Apparently the Chinese plan of re­ treat was to withdraw defendmg troops from the range of Japanese naval guns in the Whangpoo and Yangtse rivers. The Chinese were reluctant to leave positions which they claimed had- been held against the Japanese invasion, but the Ger- Secrctary Morgenthau F ^ fV thinks a b o u t: HANDS ACBOSS EU R O PE Jointly refusing to attend the anti-“ piracy” conference, H itler (left) and M ussolini once m ore show th e com plete accord of th e tw o F ascist governm ents. man advisers finally won them over to the theory that these positions had been held at a cost far out of proportion to their importance. Japan has depended largely upon the naval guns for most of her ar­ tillery shelling and, attacking far­ ther back from the river, will lose that advantage. The presence of Japanese warships was an impor­ tant factor' in the heavy Chinese casualty list, which totaled 20,000 killed and 30,000 wounded. The in­ vaders lost 10,000 men killed and an unestimated number wounded. The first strategic stage of the Chinese fighting in Shanghai—as planned by the German officers— was to slow down and harass the landing of Japanese reinforcements; the second, to divide the Japanese lines, and the third, to deprive the Japanese of the use of their naval guns. Realizing what is going on, the Japanese command has ordered rapid advance no matter what the cost, in an effort to change an or­ derly retreat into a complete rout. As a result, the Japanese for the: time being are the heavy losers in men, rather than the Chinese. The latter have been, covering their ma-; neuver well, leaving land mines in their wake which have blown whole Japanese units to bits, and continu­ ing to throw a curtain of artillery fire in front of the invaders. The city of Shanghai is a mass of fires and ruin such as no one has ever seen there before. $300,000,000 in New Money SECRETARY OF THE TREAS­ URY MORGENTHAU has agreed to issue $300,000,000 in cash against an equal amount of the treasury’s “steril­ ized” gold. The move was believed to have been made because of recent weakness in the market for govern­ ment bonds and 16 per cent decline in the stock market over a period of about four weeks.' In addition, the open market com­ mittee of the federal reserve board announced that it had authorized the twelve federal re­ serve banks to buy additional amounts of short term government securities. In some quarters, the treasury’s move was interpreted as an about face by the administration, reversing its year-old policy of trying to pre­ vent an untimely inflation. 'Keep . Us Out of War' PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, anx- 1 ious over conditions in Europe and the Far East, cut his vacation short and returned to Washington to discuss developments with his cabi­ net. After discussing the situation with Norman H. Davis, his European ambassador-at-large, and Bernard M. Baruch, and getting reports from the State department, he was said to be convinced that there was a real possibility of implication of the Unit­ ed States in a foreign war. Baruch called Europe a tinder box, ready to explode at^any time. In an address before an outdoor meeting of Dutchess county (N. Y.) . citizens President Roosevelt had said, “World conditions are pretty serious. I am glad to say . . . that we are going to do everything we can in the United States—not only the people of the United States but the government of the United States —to keep us out of war.” He added that “it will take a lot of planning to keep us out of war." — '* —. 16,098, OQO-BaIe Cotton Crop 'T1JE fifth largest cotton yield •I in the nation’s history was fore- case by the Department of Agricul­ ture, which estimated a 1937 crop of 16,098,000 bales.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— We’re promised a historical novel longer than any yet—say ball a million words or so. Ctf course, the author probably uses some words at least twice, but that won’t reduce the gross ton­ nage unless they’re very short words. I can’t take it. While still con­ valescent from "Anthony Adverse,” I was stricken down by “Gone With the Wind” and had such a relapse'that even now I barely can hold on my stomach such comparatively light and trifling stuff as volume VET to ZYM of the en- cyclopedia. When reading this modern bulk litera­ ture, it upsets me to Jrvin g. Cobb find my legs going to sleep before I do. And the con­ stant pressure makes callouses on my second mezzanine landing. I admit these mass production books serve nicely as door stoppers and for pressing wild flowers. I also heard of a chap who detected a prowler under his window and dropped a frothy little work of fic­ tion weighing slightly less than nine pounds on the back of the fellow’s neck, dislocating three vertebrae. At last accounts, the surgeons were still picking long jagged chapters out of his spine. In my present mood, what I crave is the romantic stuff of olden days, in which our sainted Aunt Sophie was wont to inscribe “Alas, how sad!” or “Only too true!” in pale violet ink on the margins. What happened to all the Aunt Sophies, anyhow? * * * An Actor’s Temperament. T lT E’VE all been waiting for ' ' something to top it, but the best wheeze of the month remains the one that was emitted, not by a paid gagster, blit by a simple stage­ hand at one of the studios when Mr. Leslie Howard refused to go on making a picture until a group of distinguished visitors, including Mr. Charles Norris, the novelist, had been shooed off the set. “He ain’t sore at you gents,” stat­ ed the stage-hand to the ousted par­ ties, “but he’s been playin’ ‘Ham­ let’ on the regular stage and he ain’t used to havin’ a crowd watchin’ him while he’s actin’.” If Mr. Norris and his friends want­ ed to see some really great acting they should have patronized the pro­ fessional wrestling matches. That’s where they put on the heavy dra­ matic stuff—beautifully rehearsed, perfectly done. * • * Children’s Education f LIKE the way the wealthy classes in England rear their children. Little Rosemary doesn’t recite for the company after dinner, and if Master Jones-Terwillager Mi­ nor gets uppity at school, he gets thrashed. Many a rich Anierican has known how sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to see his daughter grow up a wanton and his boy turn out a wast­ er. Yet, with few exceptions—so few that the newspapers comment on them—it never seems to occur to these fond fathers that less of coddling and pampering and spoil­ ing in adolescence and more of wholesome discipline might produce a higher average grade of heirs. What set me to thinking along this line was being t’other night at a party where a poor-little four-year- old, having already the pitiable as­ surance of a veteran prima donna, was fetched in to give impersona­ tions. She never again could imper­ sonate natural babyhood though, more’s the pity! And her pert small brother was encouraged to domi­ nate the talk. Mark my word for it, that kid is going to come to no good end—not even a well-spanked end, which would help. * # * i, Mr. Pincus’ Coup. TN TlIESE topsy-turvy times Iib- * eral-minded patriots who are striving to steer a middle course between ultraenthusiastic left-wing­ ers and ultraconservative rightists might do well, methinks, to follow the example set by Mr. Pincus. Mr. Pincus had opened a clothing store. Immediately on one side of him was the clothing store of Mr. Ginsberg and immediately on the other side was the clothing store of Mr. Dreifus; and three clothing stores in a row were too many even for Essex street. I So the adjacent competitors framed a plot to put the newcomer out of business. Next morning their rival, coming down to open/up, found over Mr. Dreifus’ establish­ ment a flaming legend, to wit: BANKRUPT SALE And above Mr. Ginsberg’s door was this equally prominent an­nouncement: CLOSING OUS SALE Within an hour, smeared across the entire front of Mr. Pincus’ store, exactly in between the other two, appeared a huge sign reading as follows: MAIN ENTRANCE. IRVIN S. COBB. ©—WNU Service. W a s h in g to n D i g e s t d National Topics Interpreted ByW ILLIAM BRUCKART NATIONAL PRESS B L D G. WAS H ING tON. D C ' SSffcm i till Washington.—It always comes about that when a nation or an in- . dividual acts with- W nat a 0ut thinking a M essI problem through all of its angles, there is a fine mess at the end. There can be no surprise, therefore, in the mess confronting this, nation over the policies and laws affecting the relations between labor and cap­ ital. The condition probably consti­ tutes the worst mess of any we have seen in the last five years—and the end is not yet. At the present time we find not only bitter strife between the old es­tablished American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Indus­ trial Organization headed by John L; Lewis; a national labor relations board that cannot be described by any stretch of the imagination as being unbiased, and political lead­ ers Sroni President Roosevelt down the line are quite unable to deter­ mine what their position should be between the warring factions of la­ bor. Meanwhile, we find employers wholly unable to deal with either faction successfully because of the interference of the labor relations board and the instability of respon­ sible officials. The case in-point and the incident that brings the situation immedi­ ately before the American people involves a comparatively small num­ ber of workers but it exposes all of the fallacies that have been allowed to become part of the law of the land through the labor relations act which was forced through congress by Senator Wagner, New York New Dealer, with Presidential support. a Let us review the picture: ’ Late in August, the United States district court in Pennsylvania issued a decree that the National Electric Products corporation of Ambridge, Pa., must sign a wagecontract with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, an organization affiliated with the American Feder­ ation of Labor. The court ordered the action as a result of difficulties between the American Federation of Labor and the United Electrical Workers which is connected with the Committee for Industrial Organiza­ tion. The manufacturing corpora­ tion had no alternative but to com­ ply with the court order. If it did not do so, its officials faced jail sen­ tences for contempt. Within a week thereafter, along comes the national labor relations board with a ruling that the manu­ facturing corporation must sign a wage contract with the Committee for Aidustrial Organization union or be subjected to the penalties and punishment provided in the Wagner labor relations act. The board took this position with full knowl­ edge of the federal court decree. It went so far, even, as to say that “the decree (of the court) is no bar to the instant proceeding wider the national labor relations act or to the making of an order by the board under the terms of that act, that the respondent shall cease and desist from discriminating against the em­ ployees because they decline to join the btQtherhood.” In other words, the bdard took the position that the Wagner labor relations act was the supreme law of the land and the board, therefore, was the sole arbi­ ter regardless of the court action. I do not know anything about the merits of the workers’ claim that the manufacturing company had mis­ treated workers, had fired men for union activities or had engaged In attempts -to break up union organ­ ization. Those claims may be fully justified; indeed, the chances are that there’was anti-union activity on the part of the corporation and that-it should receive a legal kick in the pants for these things. But whatever that situation is, the fact remains that the national'labor relations board consistently has horned into every controversy and, whether it means to be that way or not, its actions have been favorable to the Lewis Committee for Indus­ trial Organization. Further, among the most extreme of the New Dealers themselves, one frequently hears the observation that the labor relations board has given no consideration at all to the rights of the employer. Of course, the board claims it is acting under strict construction of the law. Then it holds that con­ gress intended it to take the place of the courts in deciding as between labor-groups. It is to be remem­ bered, however, that all members of the board are appointees of Presi­ dent Roosevelt and the presumption naturally follows that Mr. Roosevelt must approve of the board’s poli­ cies. It is too much to suppose that the board would act against the wishes of the man who named its individual members. AU of these facts make it appear that instead of having a labor poli­ cy, we have on the statute books a law that has led us straight into the mess that I described' at the begin­ ning of this discussion. I am won­ dering when it can be or will be corrected. Superficially, the facts of the labor relations board history thus far make it appear that the members of that board are aligned with John L. Lewis and the tactics he has employed.' If they are, and if President Roosevelt wants to pro­ tect trade unionism in this country, it seems to me he ought to get rid of the members of that board and name commissioners who can be fair between the two labor groups whether they want to consider the rights of those who pay the wages or not.* * • On top of the situation I have de­ scribed comes a fresh outburst from . , John L. Lewis in Lewis’ the shape of a Outburst threat a g a in s t those officially re­ sponsible for administration of fed­eral affairs. In fact, few persons could have heard the Lewis Labor day radio speech without realizing that the shaggy haired C. I. O. lead­ er was telling Mr. Roosevelt to re­ frain from placing any obstacle in the C. I. O. pathway. Some . com­ mentators went so far as to say that Mr. Lewis had slapped the President’s face in that speech. It will be recalled how some time ago the President told the newspa­ per correspondent in a press con­ ference that he .was taking no sides between the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O. The expression he' used was a line from Shakespeare: “A plague on both your houses.” I- quote Mr. Lewis’ reply to that remark: “It, ill behooves one who has supped at labor’s table and who has been sheltered in labor’s house to curse with equal fervor .and fine im­ partiality both labor and its adver­ saries when they become locked in deadly embrace.” Thtis it becomes plain, I believe, that Mr. Lewis is determined to go forward with his labor problems in­ to the depths of politics. From his $25,000 home in Alexandria, Va., Labor Leader Lewis- directs the hundreds of subordinates, the reds and pinks, the whites and blacks, from which he apparently expects to develop a political organization strong enough to control this nation. * • * President Roosevelt, is on another “inspection trip” of the nation. Be- ' fore he left, hePresident told the press that on Tour ' he wanted to see for himself what the New Deal had accomplished, ex­ plaining that there would be a few speeches, but that there would be more “intake than outgo” on the trip. Washingtonpolitical observers al­ most unanimously agreed, however, that the inspection trip had a much deeper purpose. They 'noted that the President was visiting various states from which there were mem­ bers of the United States senate who had opposed the President’s plan to increase the Supreme court by six appointees of his own choosing. Among these senators were Wheeler of Montana, Burke of Nebraska, Clark of Missouri, and O’Mahoney of Wyoming. They noted further that some representatives who had been outspoken in opposition to the court bill were privileged to have the President visit their home dis­ tricts.' . These political students arrived at the conclusion I have mentioned de­ spite the declaration of Postmaster General Farley who, as chairman of the Democratic National commit­ tee, said that there would be no re-, prisals against senators and repre­ sentatives who had opposed the court bill. Mr. Farley’s promise of no reprisals came, however, after the now famous radio speech by Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania. Mr. Guffey is chairman of the Dem­ ocratic senatorial committee-which has the job of promoting election of Democratic candidates for the sen­ ate. When he said, therefore, that opponents of the court bill ought to be defeated and listed the names of a number of senators who should not be re-elected, it does seem that there may be a connection between the Guffey speech and Mr. Roose­ velt’s inspection trip. Some com­ mentators have been uncouth enough to assert that the inspection trip by the President was for the purpose-of determining whether it would be possible for the New Deal to obtain destruction of those Demo­ crats who had disagreed with the White House. Aside from the court bill, it seems entirely reasonable to-suppose that Mr. Roosevelt desires to gain knowl­ edge of the country’s general tem­ per. He has refrained from an­ nouncing whether he will call a spe­ cial session of congress this fall to take up agricultural legislation, say­ing only that he will decide later. Secretary Wallace is very anxious that this shall happen. Officials of his department have been traveling by plane, train and motor through the country during the last two months in an effort to build up sen­ timent for the secretary’s kind of farm legislation. They have been making these trips at taxpayers’ ex­ pense, too. 9 Western Nemvaper Onion. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I S T A R I * D U S T j * M o v ie • R a J io * * * * B y VIRGINU V A lE *** R ADIO amateurs played a big part in the preparation of the dramatization of Peary’s dash to the pole, presented re­ cently.

Lanier and Bunce appealed to va­ rious clubs of radio amateurs and for .days the short wave channels were filled with calls to the two po­ lar exploration ships. Finally com­ munication was established with the Bartlett and McMillen ships, and permission to go ahead with the pro­ gram obtained. The best picture of the week is “Dead End,” the most breathtaking- ly-dramatic of all stories of New York. The setting is an East river street where a millionaire apartment house is su r r o u n d e d by squalid, sinister ten­ ement houses. Back to this neighborhood comes Baby Face Martin, a hunted gangster who had Sylvia Sidney left ten years before and things begin to happen. SylviaSidneyandJoelMo- Crea play what are supposed to be the leading roles of the picture, but Humphrey Bogart as Baby Face Martin and Claire Trevor as the sweetheart he deserted, just take possession of the picture and romp away with the honors. —-H - It Is nothing new for secondary players to steal a show. You may remember that it was in “Flying Down to Rio” in which Gene Ray­ mond and Dolores del Rio were supposed to be the stars, that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers scored the knockout success that made them about the most popular young couple in the country. — •*— Fred Waring is getting to be an industrial magnate of such propor­ tions that he has had to take a whole floor of an office building in New York to house his music arrangers, secretaries, contract signers, and scrap books. No sooner had he and his versatile boys worked their way East from Hollywood where they, made “Varsity Show” for Warners, than he up and signed a contract to play at the Drake hotel in Chicago. There he and his frenized cohorts are working up new specialties, madder than ever. . When yon see Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer’s “Madame X,” you will see a scene made under most unusual circumstances. John Beal, making voice and make-up tests when they were, getting ready to produce the picture, ran through the biggest dramatic scene, largely to see if he had his; lines all memorized. Aft­ er the picture was shot, some of the staff were a little disappointed in the way he played the courtroom scene where he defends Jiis mother. Then they remembered the test shots—dng those ontof the film vaults and substituted them for the less- spontaneous performance he gave latei1.

W h e r e C h a r lie M c C a r t h y I F a s B o r n Dummies Live in PICTURE PARADE pH A R LiE McCarthy, 'J the sassy little dummy of the ether waves, may owe his articulation to Ven­ triloquist Edgar Bergen, but he owes his life to Frank Marshall of Chicago. Thaf- a. debt he owes in common with many others of his race, for Marshall is the only known manufac­ turer of these queer beings in America. Frank comes by his trade through inheritance. Since 1880 his family has made dummies for ventriloquists, including the famed Voxor Walter and “the Great” Lester. Charlie McCarthy occasionally is sent back to. Marshall’s workshop to be “hospitalized.” Here you see the "works” of a ven­ triloquist’s dummy: Manipulating the cords causes the mouth and eyes to open and shut. Frank Marshall often enjoys a friendly little “chat” with his children, He says they don’t talk back, if they know what’s good for them. Two of his marionettes can be seen here, also. W Above, Marshall is pictured with two of his favorite products, a sailor dum­my and a Hindu marionette. At the right, he is seen carving a head from a block of wood. 1 Not Even Ventriloquist Can “Throw” His Voice T 1HE old idea that fe ventriloquist can “throw” his voice, making it come from a shoe box, from behind a chair across the room or from the basement stairway, is a hoax in the strictest sense of the word. To make it appear that his voice is emanating from some place other than his mouth, the performer needs a “prop," usually a dummy with movable lips and eyes. He produces sounds by taking a deep in­ halation of breath and allowing it to escape slowly, the sounds of the voice being modified by the muscles of the throat and palate. The illu­ sion that he is not speaking at all is heightened by immobility, achieved through practice, of the visible muscles concerned in speech, as well as by gestures and glances which suggest a false source of the sound. rWay Back When By JEANNE FAMOUS SONG WRITER WAS NEWSBOX , P EOPLE who are able to help !* others express happiness and ,those who amuse us always have a chance for success far out of pro- portion to circumstances of birth or 'environment. So, rightly, the world sees to it that persons who can drive away care have no financial worries. Irving Berlin was born in Russia in 1888, the youngest of eight chil­dren. His father, a cantor or psalm- singer in the village synagogue, brought the family to New York’s East Side tenement district when Irving was four years old. The boy loved to sing, but his first jobs were as a newsboy, and a telegraph de­ livery boy. IKs was the depressing life of the slums child, street-fight­ ing, swimming in the dirty East riv­ er, dodging traffic in the streets at play. At fourteen, he left home to sing in saloons for pennies the pa- ac trons tossed to him. He was in the chorus of a musical show, was a waiter in a Chinese restaurant, and a singing waiter in a couple of night clubs. XJp to this time, the happiness Irving Berlin brought to others was limited to the few people who could see and hear him. His voice was not unusual enough to bring him to the top rank of entertainers. Then, he started writing songs. The first one brought him only 37 cents, the next, $25; but thereafter he ad­ vanced rapidly. He worked often until two or three o’clock in the morning, and by the time he was thirty-six, 300 songs had been pub­ lished under his name, including such world-known hits as “Down on the Farm,” “Everybody’s Doin’ It,” “My Wife Sas Gone to the Coun­ try,” and “Alexander’s Rag-time Band.” • * • PRESIDENT WAS LAUNDRXMAN W ORK is a habit, and to those who acquire it it becomes fun, relaxation coming through the kind of work done. In analyzing the lives of successful men and women, we usually find that they got the work habit early in life and never lost it. Herbert Hoover was a worker. He was born in 1874,, in W£st Branch, Iowa, the son of a blacksmith. His father died when he was six years old, his mother when he was nine; and he went to live with an uncle who operated a Quaker academy in Oregon. Herbert earned his board by doing odd chores, feeding and currying the horses, milking cows, and tending the furnace. AU of this was in addition to his regular school work and, as if this were not enough work for a young boy, he studied English literature and his­ tory outside of school hours. Later I in Salem, Oregon, Herbert worked as an office boy for his uncle, and went to night.school until he had enough credits to enter Leland Stan­ ford university. He worked his way through, by acting as clerk for the registrar, and handling and deliv­ ering the San Francisco News on the campus. Later he started a laundry agency, calling for the bags of soiled laundry and delivering the bundles himself. In 1893, Herbert Hoover got a job with the United States Geological society. He had natural ability at engineering. Thattogetherwiththe habit of work, gained rapid prog­ ress for him. He became nationally known as a successful engineer and a business man. In 1928 he became President, of the United States. Herbert Hoover was bom with jbo silver spoon. , Orphaiied early, >he had to fight for every bit of knowl­ edge, for every opportunity.' But Herbert Hoover was bora with the habit of work, and he had the good hick to keep that habit. His re­ ward was success.$>—WNU Soviet. S t r ik i n g W o o ls f o r T o w n , C a m p u s By CHERIE NICHOLAS £ a AwMhJ OMART clothes are alive with fabric interest this fall. The woolens that tailor to town and campus needs are especially intriguing and seeing that the first requisite of a perfect autumn ward­robe is a tailored outfit that will prove “first aid” no matter what apparel emer­ gency may arise, here’s telling you about the fascinating weaves that lead in fashion this season. Tweeds especially have a lot of texture interest. They are nubbed and flecked in decorative weavings that capture your fancy at first sight. When you go tweed shopping, and of course you will if you are assembling a school-faring clothes collection, ask to see some of the new-this-season candlewick tweed, the latest herringbone weaves, smart diagonals, the houndstooth, tattersall, ropey plaid and sugar- Ieaf patternings, and you will feel, having seen these, that you have had a liberal education on the sub­ ject of tweeds at the very start. The next thing is to decide on which tweed is the tweed you want most. To help you out we are sug­ gesting a nubby beige tweed flecked with white such as makes the smart three-piece costume as shown to the left in the picture. Here is an out­ fit that is ideal for' fall wear on campus or in town. It pretty near comes to being a whole wardrobe in itself. A suit that has a topcoat as has this is an economical buy no matter what it costs, for it takes care of the problem of an early fall coat since it can be worn as a separate wrap. Note its button-back revers, also the unpressed pleats running down from the slash pocket lines. The matching suit has a chic high lapel collar, triangular pockets and narrow leather belt. The skirt is cut straight and slim as a fash­ ionable daytime skirt must be this season. And we are not through talking about tweeds for we just must men­ tion the especially lovely “winter pastels” that belong to the tweed family. More than likely you won’t be able to resist them because of the fine Shetland and other fine yarns used in the spinning. You can get novelty open weaves if you wish. Very youthful and attractive for campus wear is the two-piece frock of sheer rabbit woolen centered in the group. The pleated-all-around skirt bespeaks “last word” vogue. You really must have a pleated wool skirt if you are going away to school to wear with your sweater, with your suede jacket, and with blouses galore. The wide shoulder line, high lapel collar and front-buttoned jack­ et closing are nice points but we’ve saved the nicest point to the last— those cunning - little bows on the pockets! Now there's an idea that’s going to send you right to the head of the class. Made of the very self­ same material as the suit itseli these bows add infinitely to the chic of this most attractive outfit and make it outstanding. A luxurious natural wolf tuxedo collar runs the length of the top­ coat of this stunning three-piece cos­ tume shown to the right. The tout ensemble is made of novelty woolen with a diagonal rib weave in deep brown flecked with beige. This out­ fit is entirely in line with the vogue this season that calls for lavish- ment of fur on suits and coats. The tuxedo effects are especially good this season. Handsome furs will be used unsparingly with care taken in achieving color blends that unify the costume. Citing other fashionable wool weaves, there are the new coating fabrics that have long hair inter­ spersed and tightly embedded in the texture, their sheen contrasting against the soft surface of the fab­ ric. Tightly twisted boucle nubs are also decorative and colorful. Persian lamb cloth is a new fab­ ric this season. For children’s coats, a new chinchilla fabric in soft colors is important. Fleeces, both woven and knitted, are in demand. Suedes, velours and duvetynes are outstand­ ing for dressy wear. For formal type costumes broadcloth is a leader.© Western Newspaper Union. I DRAPE AND SHIRR j Br CHKKIE N1CHOI-A9 A perfect afternoon frock for the young girl is this style in spongy texture lightweight wool. The draped button-over neckline and the shirting at the bodice are very new and attractive. A narrow gold-col- ored belt accents the fitted waist­ line. Hie skirt is softly flared. Donble-Dnty Capes Enter the double-duty shoulder cape, which may be looped up over the wearer’s head and used as » hood. DAYTIME SKIRTS TO BE SHORT AND SLIM By CHERIE NICHOLAS Short, slim and pencil-like is the dictum for daytime skirts. The ac­ cepted length for the suit skirt is from twelve to fifteen inches from the ground. Depends on how con­ servative you may be. Of a ne­ cessity these narrow skirts often have slashed hemlines. Daytime dresses hover about twelve to four­ teen inches from floor. For evening dresses the newest thing is the short-in-front hemline. In fact uneven hemlines are a most important styling detail. A few designers continue to favor the short full ballerina skirts for dance frocks. There are dinner gowns ga­ lore that are ankle length and sheathlike, for the most part in sleek black, many of which are en­ livened with glittering touches. The majority have high necklines with flattering short sleeves. How­ever, in the practical daytime dresses long sleeves perfectly fitted, also bracelet sleeve lengths are fea­tured. Slide Fasteners Used The Schiaparelli type of house­ coat developed in flannel and fasten­ ing at the front with a patent slide fastener-'is popular. Flaring Zonth For college girls and the very young, important collections include gored, flaring'skirts and some which are pleated all around. Add a Bluebird To Your Linens Out across the tulips fly our feathered friends the Bluebirds, so realistic when embroidered in dainty 10 to the inch cross stitch.

IN ADVANCE - S SO A new broom i3 said to sweep clean, but sometimes tbev leave little dust in the corners. MajorBulwinkle who hibernates over in Gaston, says he will be a candidate for Congress again next year. This is not news—just a fore gone conclusion The Ku Klux Klan says Roose velt did the right thing when he appointed Hugo Black to the Su prerae Conrt bench. Naturally The Record thinks Roosevelt made a big mistake when he appointed the said Black, which goes to prove that great minds differ. If President Roosevelt has got it into his head that he is going to de­ feat every Senator who voted a gainst his bill to junk the Supreme Court, then the said Mr. Roose­ velt has the biggest job on bis hands that he has ever tackeled. Instead of trying to defeat these de mocrats who killed his court bill he should present each of them with a gold medal. Jim Farley, head of the New Dael party, former liquor dealer and pre­ sent postmaster general, savs the Republicans stand no chance of carrying more than two states in 1 940, and talks like they may even lose Maine and Vermont. Is this the same Jim Farley who said a few months ago that Roosevelt’s court bill was in tbe bag. Jim can now be classed as a false prophet. Our Democratic friends a r e spending most of their time yelling prosperity, but when a man goes out collecting he finds that if tbe country is tunning over with pros perity that there are many liars yet in the land. Money is scarce and hard to get these days, and when a fellow gets a dollar it will not buy as much as forty cents would a few years ago. If this is prosperity, then deliver us from future pros perity. One of the town fathers asked us last week to write an editorial on the porches and sheds that spoil tbe looks of the business section of our town. About all we can say is that we will be glad to see the time come ,'when neat and At tractive awnings will replace the present sheds and porches. It takes money to buy awnings and make repairs, and perhaps some of the business men are in-the same shape the editor finds himself in at this time dead broke with but few friends and less cash. Tbe Record has been in business in Davie county for 38 years. Dur ing the past 30 years tbe present editor and owner has been for. a bigger and..better town and coun­ ty. We have worked early and late to help the farmer, the basiness and professional men and have lived to see some of our dreams carried out. There remains mucn to be done before our hopes are realized. Tbe good roads, the good schools, and many other im­ provements have been made. Onr town has grown from a sleepy vil Iage of around 800 population to a live town ot more than 2,000 popu lation, with electric power, water, sewerage, and modern churches, homes and schools, together with good streets, sidewalks and up to- date business bouses. What we need now is more mills and fac tories, with more payrolls, better railroad and telephone service. Rar pid strides have been made in town and county since the birth of The Record, in »899. This is Fair week in MocksyilIe Tae Dayie Gounty Fair will open today, Wednesday, and will con­ tinue through Saturday. Hund reds of visitors from, all sections of Davie and adjoining counties will visit tbe fair if tbe weather is good.

The Friend of Man. “When it comes down to rock bottom facts the Democratic party is the friend of the laboring man." —Charlotte Observer. Friend indeed, but not in need Flour j>8 a barrel and wages . about the same and children crying for bread—thus it is a friend of men. With taxes twice as high as the ever were and cotton 7 cents until the war raised it—thus it is the friend ot man. With the promise of free trade and cheap living this party has given us tbe highest cost of living since the war—this it is the friend of man. With more extravagant expendi ture than any congress in history and with debts and bonds piling ap daily with empty treasuries in county, state and nation—this it is the friend of man.

W I T H B A N N E R S SYNOPSIS Brooke Reyburn visits the office of Jed Stewart, a lawyer, to discuss the terms of an estate she has inherited from Mrs. MaTy Armanda Dane. Unwittingly she overheaTS Jed talking to Mark Trent, nephew of Mrs. Dane who has been disinherited. Mrs. Dane had lived at Lookout House, a huge struc­ ture by the sea, built by her father and divided into two, for her and Mark's father. Brooke bad been a fashion expert, and Mrs. Dane, a "shut-in," hearing her on the radio, had invited her to call and developed a deep affection for her. Mark discloses that Mrs. Dane had threatened to disinherit him if he married Lola, from whom he is now divorced. He says he does not trust Henri and Clotilde Jacques. Mrs. Dane's servants. He says he is not interested in an 'offer of Brooke’s to share the estate with him. Leaving her department store fob, Brooke refuses an offer to "go stepping" with Jerry Field, a carefree young man who wants to marry her. At a family con­ ference she learns she must live at Lookout House alone, since Lucette, her younger sister who is taking her fob, her brother, Sam, a young playwright, and her mother plan to stay in the city. Jed and Mark are astounded when they hear from Mrs. Greg­ ory, a family friend, that she had wit­ nessed a hitherto unknown will with Henri and Clotilde two weeks before Mrs. Dane died. Brooke had arrived fust as she was leaving. Jed suggests that Mark open his part of Lookout House, get friendly with Brooke and try to find out about the will. Jed agrees to stay with him. Mark accepts Brooke's .invitation for a family Thanks­ giving dinner at Lookout Mrs. Reybura announces on Thanlcsgiving eve that she has been invited to England. Sam and Lucette decide to move in with Brooke and Sam plans to produce -a new play locally. After the Thanksgiving dinner Brooke tells Mark that little of Mrs. Dane’s silver col­ lection is left. Jerry Field and his sister Daphne drop in and announce they will be neighbors for the winter. Sam adds them to the cast of his play. Later Lispector Har­ rison of the local police visits Mark and is informed about the missing will and silver. As Harrison leaves, Lola arrives. She an­nounces that she and her pew husband, Bert Hunt, have started a neighborhood filling station. Mark almost makes a break about the missing will and Brooke is suspicious. Returning home, she sees Lola talking cov­ertly to Henri. "Mr. Micawber," Mrs. Dane’s pet parrot, is missing. Henri is ugly and warns Brooke she had better like him and Clotilde. CHAPTER VI—Continued —11— She reached the question and a door at the same time. As Mark Trent opened it, a slightly musty smell, a blend of camphor and old books and ancient furniture, stole out. He motioned with the flash in his hand. Brooke’s eyes followed the light. She set her teeth hard in her lips to keep back an exclama­ tion of astonishment. On a large table, illumined by the spotlight, surrounded by boxes and trunks and storeroom litter, was a massive tea- service and perhaps a dozen dishes and pitchers of silver, tarnished to a light copper color. A scrap of paper drifted to the floor. “It’s a great hide-out, isn’t it? She nodded in answer to the low, amused question. "When did you discover it?” “Thought I heard strange sounds upstairs when Jed and I were wait­ ing for you in the living-room the other afternoon. The Japs’ rooms are in the L on the first floor, and when I had this house opened I told the caretaker not to touch the third. After you and Mrs. Gregory left, I investigated and found this silver. I’ve been on the watch ever since to discover who put it here. This afternoon someone slipped a cog, and left both keys; must have been frightened off, or else they were left purposely so that a sec­ ond party might have access to the loot.” “Who put the loot, as you call it, In that room?” “That’s what you and I will find out.” That “you and I” was fuse to dy­ namite. Brooke leaned back against the balustrade. “You will, you mean, you and your sleuth Jed Stewart. You and he are spies, aren’t you? Amateur detectives. ‘Mark, to you,’ you say to Sam, and . all the time you are spying on his sister and accusing her of ‘undue influence,’ of hypno­ tizing an old woman into leaving her a fortune. I ought to have known what you thought of me when you said that. I do now. Find out who stole the silver. You’ve put Inspector Harrison on the case, haven’t you? I wish you luck.” She jerked her wrist free and ran down the stairs. She stopped at the foot of them. A tirade like that she had just delivered took one’s breath for a minute. Why, why had she let Mark the Magnificent Imow that she suspected his reason for occupying the house? She, who had prided her­ self on her self-control in business? Why couldn’t she be diplomatic? Her outrageous temper was the an­ swer. Thank Heaven she had had sense enough not to tell him of Hen­ ri’s threat that he could put her out of Lookout House. A sound! Someone had touched the knob on the other side of the door! Had the person remembered that both keys had been left? Now— now Mark and she would find out who had taken the silver. Stealthily she touched the button and plunged the top floor into dark­ ness. She raced up the stairs. Car­ omed into Mark Trent coming out of the storeroom. She clutched his sleeve; whispered: “Shut the door! Quick! Someone is fumbling at the hall key. Per­ haps he’ll come for this one.” He held her by one arm as he noiselessly closed the door. In the dark he drew her into another room. Side by side they waited. Brooke’s heart shook her body. How could the' man so near her help hearing it thump in the tomblike silence? A spot of light. Creeping up! Creeping up! Her breath caught in a gasp. An arm slipped round her By Emilie Loring © EmUle Lorlng. Wim Service. shoulders and held her so close that the scent of the crushed gardenias was sicldsh. “Ssch! Mustn’t let him know we are here!” Mark Trent whispered. The spot of light illumined the key in the door, illumined the black- gloved hand which gently turned it and as gently drew it out. Mark Trent felt the hard beating of the girl’s heart as his arm tight­ ened about her shoulders, the soft­ness of her skin against his hand. He didn’t dare release her for fear she might make a sound and reveal their presence to the unknown per­ son in the hall. What a good lit­ tle sport she was. She had followed him into his house with no embar­ rassment, but with a modern girl’s interpretation of propriety, her ig­noring of outworn conventions. Just the same, he wished fervently that she was back in her own living-room in that chair before the fire, for there was no dodging the fact that black-gloved fingers had withdrawn the key from the lock. To whom had they belonged? The words on the scrap of paper he had picked up from the floor of the storeroom and replaced on the table teased his mind.“Make X on cover when—” That was all. What cover? Much as he wanted to know, he couldn’t let Brooke Reyburn get mixed up in the mess. When he had dis­ covered the silver, his first thought had been of her and the thrill she would get from seeing it. If he hadn’t brought her, he would be on the man’s neck by this time. It seemed hours that he stood rig­ id, listening, with the only sound the underground roar of a great city, the faint wail of the distant siren, and the girl’s unsteady breathing. He strained his ears. Was a door being closed cautiously, or was his imagination playing tricks? He must find out- He couldn’t stay here forever. He put his mouth close to Brooke’s ear. He felt the softness of her hair against his face. “Don’t move. Don’t speak. Fll come back.” Whenever in after life he smelled the fragrance of a gardenia, he would remember this night, he told himself. He took a cautious step into the hall. Listened. The house was so quiet that he could hear the tick of the old clock on the stairs. He tip­ toed to the door of the room in which he had found the silver and ran his fingers lightly over the knob. The key was gone. He felt his way down; he didn’t dare use the flash. The lamp in the lower hall provided a faint light. Gently he turned the knob of the connecting door. It was locked. Someone had followed him down the stairs! He felt a presence. Fool, not to have suspected that an. accom­ plice might be hidden in the dark. He shouldn’t have left Brooke. He must get back to her no matter who was between them. He wheeled with pantherlike agil­ ity. Raised hi3 flashlight to bring it crashing down on a head. “Mark! Mark!” It was Brooke Reybum’s voice, her hand on his arm. The stiffen­ ing went out of his knees. Relief was submerged in a mighty rush of anger as he gripped her shoul­ ders. ‘What do you mean by coming down when I told you not to move? What do you mean? I might have struck you!” “But you didn’t, Mark. I felt like a quitter, hiding in the dark while you came down alone, so I crept after you. What did you see?” “Nothing here—but the door is locked.” “A- black-gloved hand did pull the key from the storeroom door, didn’t it? I didn’t dream it, did I?” • “If you did, I was in the same dream, Brooke. Wonder when they intend to remove the stuff.” “You think someone is planning to take it away?” “Why else should it be there? It probably was moved from Lookout House to this one, which has been unoccupied for years, before I came back here to live. After Aunt Mary Amanda went, I was the only per­ son who would know about the sil­ ver, and I was far away in South America. That’s why Henri’s face turned chalky when he saw me en­ ter your living-room on Thanksgiv­ ing day.” ‘Then you noticed it too? I thought it might be my imagina­ tion.” ‘He was white, all right. Come on, we can’t get back to Lookout House through this door. We’d bet­ ter beat it downstairs and out that way. Lucky I pocketed your key.” “Hurry! Hurry! Suppose it was Henri who left those keys in the doors? Suppose he remembered that he had left them and stole back from the movies? I told him that you and Jed Stewart would be with us for supper after rehearsal. He may be looking for me now to see if I was telling the truth.” In the lower hall, which was slightly scented by the smoky aro­ ma of open fires, Mark laid a de­ taining hand on her shoulder. “Wait! Listen!” The stillness of the high-ceilinged rooms was accentuated by the low moan of the wind at the corner of the house, by the muted thunder of the sea, by the sharp crackle of a burning log; was haunted by the weird wail of the distant siren, but no human sound intruded. “Coast’s clear. Let’s go. Hold on!” Mark Trent frowned at her bare arms and throat, ivory tinted above the lace of her frock. “You need a wrap.” “To go from one door to another! Don’t be foolish. If we don’t hurry, Henri may get there before us.” In the green-walled living-room at Lookout House, Mark Trent threw a log on the smoldering fire and poked it into flame. “Come here and get warm, Brooke. You are still shivering.” “If I am, it is from excitement, not cold.” She toasted her fingers at the blaze. What do we do next?” “Watchful waiting seems our best bet.” “You would say that.” “I don’t'like the implication, but we’ll let that ride—for the present. What move would you suggest?” “I don’t know, but let’s do some­ thing. I hate sitting on the side­ lines. I hate waiting. First we must find out who took the key from the ,storeroom door. If you hadn’t held me, I would have dashed at him and found out.” “I had a hunch you would; that’s why I grabbed you. Afraid I crushed your gardenia.” Brooke put her hand to her shoul­ der. “They’re gone! Where could I have lost them?” “Don’t make a tragedy of it. I’ll get you another.” Mark Trent had never seen brown eyes so flamingly gold, cheeks so red as Brooke’s. “I’m not making a tragedy of it, and I don’t want another gardenia. For an amateur detective—amateur is the word with a capital A—you are dense, Mark Trent. Suppose the person in the attic went back for something and picked them up? Wouldn’t he know at once that he was being watched?” “I thought of that so—I brought this along.” He held a flower in the ,palm of his hand. The once waxen petals were brown at the edges, but they had the feel of velvet in his fingers. “You don’t want it now, do you?” He slipped it back into his pocket. “I’ll keep it as a souve­ nir of our late dive into the under­ world.” “I do want it and the other too.” “Because Field gave them to you? I don’t know where the other is;i didn’t realize that there were two. You dropped this as you came into this house. Better let me keep it. Would you want him to know that it had been crushed out of shape against my shoulder?” “Just why should Jerry assume that it was your shoulder against which the gardenia was crushed? You are not the only man in my life, you know,” Brooke reminded disdainfully. “I intend—to keep the flower.” Mark Trent felt the color surge to his hair and recede. He had caught back “to be” in time. “I haven’t had a chance, Brooke, to tell you how ridiculous Mrs. Hunt’s suggestion was that—that I had any thought of trying to keep Aunt Mary Amanda’s money in the family by—” “Why stumble over it? Why tell me again that you wouldn’t marry me? This is the second time. First Jed Stewart’s office and now here. To save a third attempt to impress the fact on me, I’ll tell you that I wouldn’t marry you if you were the only man in the world. Divorced men leave me cold. Some­ time perhaps I’ll have the privilege of refiising to marry you.” He knew now the sensation of a knife being plunged into his heart. He drew the gardenia from his pocket and dropped it into her lap. “Here it is. Water may revive it.” She twirled the stem in her fin­ gers.“It is past recovery.” She flung it into the wastebasket. “I don’t care for rejuvenated gardenias any more than I care for warmed-over love. That sounds like a car. Can they have come so soon?” “Better not speak of what we discovered,” Mark suggested hasti­ ly, as she started for the hall. She left the room without answer­ ing. He salvaged the flower and thrust it into his pocket. He was not keeping it for sentimental rea­ sons, he assured himself, but as a reminder of how near he had come to forgetting that all he had to offer a girl was “warmed-over” love.Sam Reyburn entered the living- room and flung his blue covered script to the table. He dropped into the wing chair with a groan. Voices in'the hall thinned in the distance. Mark Trent could distinguish Jerry Field’s laugh, Lucette’s rather high- pitched tone, Brooke’s questioning murmur, and Daphne’s drawl. He looked at the dejected figure in the chair, at the long legs outstretched. “What’s wrong, Sam? Aren’t you home early?”“What’s wrong with you, you’re white as a sheet?” ‘Tm okay, it’s these artistic lights that play the dickens with one’s color. Didn’t Stewart and the rest oI the cast come1 with you?” (TO BE CONTINUED) Mistakes—Everybody “When any one tells me he neves makes mistakes,” said Uncle Ebon, “he’s 'makin' one right there fc flunkin' I’s gineter believe bice-’* IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By REV.

John 1:12.PBIMAIty TOPIC—What John Learned from Jesus.JUNIOR TOPIC—John * Way.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— What Makes Us Children of God?YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Christian Sonship. “Studies in the Christian Life.” What an attractive title, and what Interesting and instructive studies we are to share during the com­ ing three months! When setting out on a journey we want to know just where we are going. Just so when we take up a new study we need to define the limits of our subject. We are to study the Christian life—not life in general, not religious life, no, not even life in a Christian land or dur­ ing the Christian era. It is there­ fore most appropriate that our first lesson in this series should tell us who the Christian is and how he lives. I. God’s Children—Who They Are (w . 1-6). 1. They'are “Born ones” (v. I). The , Revised Version correctly translates “sons” as “children.” We are sons in our position, but we are children by the new birth. A man may attain the legal relation­ ship of a son by adoption, but he can be a child only by birth. 2. They are separated ones (v. I). The world, that is, unregenerate man, does not belong to this family of God. How hard it is for even church people to understand that fact. They do not appreciate and cannot understand God’s children, because they themselves do not know God. 3. They are glorified ones (v. 2). “We shall be like him for we shall see him as he is.” What a glorious hope, realized even now by faith in the hearts and lives of God’s chil­ dren. The present difference be­ tween God’s children and the world is to become even greater, for in that day when Christ “shall appear” (for he is coming again!) God’s children shall be like him. Spiritu­ ally and morally—yes, and even their bodies shall be transformed. 4. They are purified ones (w . 3-6). The standard whereby the Christian measures his life is the purity of Christ. The question is not “How much purer am I than my friends and acquaintances?” No, the norm for the Christian life is far higher, we are to be purified as “he is pure.” AU sin is a disregard of God’s law (v. 4). His children do not thus defy Him. They have,taken as their Saviour the one “who . was manifested to take away sins.” There was no sin in him, and the one who abides in him has victory and does not live in sin. He may fall into some act of sin, but in ut­ ter misery and repentance he turns from it to his Deliverer. H. God’s Children--How They Live (w . 18-24). Love is the supreme test of Chris­ tian profession. “We know we have passed out of death into life, be­ cause we love the brethren,” says John in v. 14 (R. V.). How far should love go? “We ought to lay down our Uves for the brethren” (v. 16). Such a sacrifice is not often de­ manded of us, bui the writer goes on to say that we may show that spirit in daily service to those in need. I. Bi loving .and sacrificial serv­ ice (v. 18). Words may comfort and strengthen, especiaUy when they are words of love. Love does not stop with words, however, but acts, reflecting the spirit of God, who not only is good, but does good. 2. In the assurance of faith (w. 19-21). Assurance is the blessed privilege of the child of God. Well may we feel condemned when we measure our Uves by his divine tests. But after aU, even “if oui heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart.” Salvation does not depend on either our works or our feelings. It is of God. Does this condone sin? God forbid. We are rather so to walk that “our heart condemn us not.” 3. In unquestioning obedience (w. 22-24). The hallmark of character in a child is obedience. Scripture does not countenance the unfortu­ nate standards of men on this point. The children of God “keep his com­ mandments” which are beautifully summed up in v. 23 as beUeving in Christ and loving one another. Divine Purpose What is it after aU which gives men the energy to do things seem­ ingly impossible? It is, and always has been, the result of the divine purpose. Bond of Perfectness And above: all these things put on charity, which is the bond oi perfectness. Honesty the Best PoUcy Unimpaired integrity is an in­ comparable asset. Vying for Your Favor ONE, two, three smart frocks on the line ready to go—shop­ ping, kitchenwards, to the office downtown. And as every woman knows, a well stocked wardrobe needs aU three. From Now On. Says the jaunty model to the left, “I can teU I’m gonna feel weU dressed in this Uttle peplum frock: ready for sports, a matinee or dinner in town, and the confi­ dent high spirits my new lines give make me sure that I will be wanted at aU three. “I made my version ef sheer wool with a subdued herringbone weave. It will be my number one attire for a long spell ahead.” One Who Knows. Miss Keep-the-Home-Beautiful, in the center, expresses herself: “Even when I do housework I like to look and feel fit. “When I dash out to the store or go across lots to the neighbor’s to borrow an egg, I don’t bother to change my dress because I have the feeling I’m doing aU right as I am. I wouldn’t think of a new season coming on without running up a generous supply of crisp, fresh dresses for myself. They seem to set one right, you know, and give you the spirit to pitch into any day’s work like a cham­ pion.” The Last Word. Miss Third' Party goes in for that new kind of glamour in the simple model at the right. Says she: “I feel that FaU is reaUy the season to step out and hob-nob with Fashion and the Joneses. This frock, which is my weakness In plum-colored wool, was as easy to make as it is to wear. “Later on I’m going to have a velvet version with short sleeves— The Subconscious Mind The expressions, conscious and subconscious mind, are weU de­ fined psychological terms. The subconscious mind may be defined as anything that is neither in the focus nor in the margin of the consciousness (that is, that does not receive attention and cannot be regarded as a actual experi­ ence of the moment) but which, nevertheless, must be assumed to be influencing the mind in some way. these slim lines and elegant shoul-> ders were just made for this queen of all fabrics—and evi­ dently I go for things royal.” The Patterns.
