Congress Called In Spe cial Session. A special session of Congress has been called by President Roosevelt to convene in the capitol Monday, November 15. Some of the knot tiest problems sponsored by the New Deal still confront the law makers. Both senate and house devoted considerable time at the last session to all four measures beading the President’s list- wages and hour surplus crop control, government reorganization and regional plan ning. Stubborp'resistance by a coali tion of Republicans and southern Democrats in-the house rules com mittee blocked the wage-hour bill, however, and agriculture commit tees on both sides of the capital de layed action on the farm legisla tion pending'further study during the present recess. The wage-hour bill, providing for regulation of minimum wages and maximum hours of workers, still is locked in the rules commit tee. Chairman Mary T. Norton. Democrat. NewJersey1 of the house labor committee, took the initial steps at the session end to wrest the measure from the rules group, but adjournment baited her effort. The senate passed a wage-hour bill before going home, but the house labor committee revised it drastically. It was the amended version which lodged in the rules committee. Members of the agricultural com- mitt.es of both house and senate reported at the. last session that they found disagrement among farm organizations on fundamental questions, chiefly whether the crop control features should be manda tory or voluntary. Administration leaders have ex- essed optimism recently over prospects for removing these dif ferences, but no definite agreements have been announced. In the mean time, the senate agriculture com mittee has been conducting region al hearings in farming areas. It is believed that Roosevelt will attempt to revive his plan of pack ing the Supreme Court and if he does this means another bitter fight There is also bound to come up the Ku Klux Klan affiliations of the former Senator Black who was appointed and confirmed to' the Su preme Court a few days before ad- journment Nothing can be done about it now as tie is snugly en- scpnred in bis #20,000 a year judi cial palaces of the world but this will not keep many of those whom he deceived from spilling their ora tory.

Good Examples For Judge of the municipal court is one of our neighboring- cities has declared that he will no longer tol erate small cash bonds on charges of drunken driving. He says that; instead, all persons charged with this offience will be compelled to face his court and 1st it determine whe ther they are guilty or inno cent The judge points out that cash bonds enable drunken drivers to take appeals to superior court, thereby delaying final determina- t:on of their cases. And, he says, when such cases finally come up in superior court, much lighter sent ences are usually imposed because the facts surrounding the cases have been forgotten to a large ex tent or witnesses have moved p- away. Such a step on the part of this judge, no doubt, will help clear his township of drunken drivers. He is setting a good example for many other judges to follow. Drunken driving is definitely out of the minor offense class. It is potential murder and suicide. — Statesville Record. Goods Box Whittier. Home is the best place' in the world.

Satire On Roosevelt. Staid old Bost rocked with laugh ter one night the past week over George M. Cohan's tap dancing satirizat'ion of President Roosevelt and the New Deal. The veteian comedian returning to bis first song .and dance role in to years, brought down the house when, portraying a genial, tap- dancing President Roosevelt, he crooped: “If I’m not re elected,. - I’ll never fear for hunger, I’ll never fear for thirst; I have one son with Dn Pont, And other one with Hearst.” The satire, reminiscent of the annual Gridiron Club shows in Washington at which newspaper men poke good-natured fun at po litical platforms and leaders, por trayed “Alf Landon” as an obsti nate family butler for the Roose velts who refused to explain to the “president” how he had balanced the Kansas budget. The first-night audience chuck led particularly at these verses: “I sit up in my bedroom, Reading books like Silas Marner— I'd read Sears Roebnck catalogs To get away from Garner. “My messages to Congress Arealotofboolboola;. Pm not so fond of Bankhead, But I'd.like to meet Tallulah.” A mayor laugh came when the President, at a cabinet session, turned to Attorney General Cum mings and ordered: •'Cummings, takedown a law.” There was another when the Pre sident avowed: “I'm very fond of Eleanor, But I never read her column.” No mention was made of the Justice Black controversy until the last act, when nine black-robed ‘‘justices’’ danced gayly across the stage and Chief Justice Hughes warned the ninth man in line: ‘ Hurry up, Justice Black. Re member you’ve got to go on the air at 7:30 and do a little more ex plaining.” The satire apparently aroused no partisan resentment, and cries of ‘‘Speech, Speech,” rewarded Co. ban—a very realistic looking Roose velt at the closing curtain.

The nation’s auto traffic death toll, despite “spotty improvement” in states and cities which have con ducted vigorous safety campaigns, is running about 20 per cent ahead of last year. . This estimate came Thursday from the American Automobile As sociation It was based partly on fatality reports of the ceusus bureau which showed 6 905 fatalities in 125 cities above 50,000 population during the. first 39 weeks this year, as compared with 6,234 in the same periodof 1936. Tbe Negro population. of Loui siana has increased 10 9 percent-in the last to years. Taxation Limit Has Been Reached. By Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, President Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Ga. ,It is an old saying that “the power to tax is the power to destroy,” and this applies to the individual, firm and corporation not only, but also to the nation as a whole. The surest and quickest way to destroy a na tion is bv super-taXation. The only way in which to win the consent of a people to excessive taxation is bv giving the people themselves the tax money. Theonlyway to break down the emergency came in '1933. It was really not a great emergency, but to a generation unfamiliar with the years which followed the Revolution and the War Between the States it seemed great. In the. midst of this emergency the doctrine which makes it the duly of government to support its. citi zens, was promulgated. Previous orgies of extravagance by munici palities and states has been so fre quent that the federal government was the only taxing agency' in the United States with any credit left. The mad rush of the poor and the shrewd witted rich to raid the trea sury has proceeded now for about four years. Nothing on earth can stop the stampede for loot except one thing. When the money gives out, the pipes will run dry. There Bre some among those in position to know in Washington who say that the money has just about given out. A few more biilion can be borrowed and wasted, but in the end the credit of the United States government itself will be broken. The thing cannot last forever. The limitations of excessive taxation has been reached. . The budget re mains unbalanced. Every time the suggestion of balancing it is made.' the hungry hordes demand increased taxation and increased appropria tions and increased government ac tivities. AU the other 175,000 taxing agencieB of the United States have followed suit; the time is now rapid ly approaching when another panic and depression are in orher. There is but one way to save* this country from vast injury. It is verj simple, but very hard and very neces sary. It is this: Balance the bud get, reduce taxation. They must all three be done at the same time. They can be done. They should be done. Theyshouid be done.

The Federal treasury will be In' the red by another nearly #,00,- 000,000 at the end of the present fiscal vear in June. The estimate is the President’s. That means that approximately $2 500 000 more will be spent each day of the 365 by the Federal gov ernment than the government takes in. The President’s forecast boosts his own previous estimate of the year’s deficit bv #277,000,000. The deficit is thus being accumu lated at a rate that not even the administration had dared predict. ’ The couiitrv can hot intelligent Iy take these gruesome figures in its easy going, traditional stride.

One of the arguments against the Hancock candidacy is , that he is from the eastern section of the state and that as Bailey is from the east that the other senator should be from the west. There is no doubt but that Gran ville county, the home of Hancock, has always been classed as an east ern county. Really it is in the Piedmont section Hancock in ex planation of this charge says, “My ambition is not to represent Gran ville county merely in the United States Senate but all of North Ca rolina: In the early days of poor roads and communication, there doubtless was a good reason for the east-and-west political division so far as the federal elective offices' were concerned.

DAVIS is on his way ’ to Brussels, Belgium, as head of the American delegation to a con ference of the signatories of the nine - power treaty which, the optimists hope, will put an end to the warfare be tween Japan and China. More realis tic observers of the course of events have no such expec tation, for the pact has no “teeth” and the conferees can do little except talk. Associated with Mr. Davis, the ad ministration’s roving ambassador, are Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck and Pierrepont Moffat as advisers. Rob ert T. Pell is the press officer and C. E. Bohlen is secretary of the delegation. Before sailing for Europe the dele gates received instructions from President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull, but these werie not revealed to the public. The invitation to the conference was issued by the Belgian govern ment "at the request of the British government and with the approval of the government of the United States.” China and Japan are both signatories to the treaty. The for mer accepted the-invitation to the Brussels meeting, but it was be-. Iieved Japan would not be repre sented there. Tokyo has maintained the policy that the Sino-Japanese troubles must be settled without the intervention of other nations. Labor Peace Parley T EADERS in the American Fed- " eration of Labor and the C. L 0. gathered in Washington for a con ference designed to end the warfare between those divi sions of organized labor in America. Some of th e m I*'thought the negotia tions might result in an early settlement of their disputes or at least a truce. Neither President Green nor John L, Lewis ventured any „ ,, prediction as to the Secy1Perkins Outcome of the de liberations. Some students of labor politics were inclined to think peace was not yet In sight and could not be brought about without the remov al of Green, from the A. F. of L. presidency and the elimination of Lewis from consideration for thi|t post. Their suggestion was that peace might be negotiated eventual ly by replacing Green with some such labor figure as Charles P. How ard, president of the International Typographical union, or Edward F. McGrady, former assistant secre tary of labor and now Radio Cor poration labor relations chief, and by giving industrial union groups stronger representation- in shaping the federation’s policies. Presidenf RooseveIt displayed, ac tive interest in the labor controversy and received Secretary of Labor Perkins at his Hyde Park home, where for three hours they dis cussed the subject. The restoration of harmony in labor’s ranks is con sidered of great importance .to the administration. for. both economic and political reasons. I Secretary Perkins announced in Washington that she had named a federal committee on apprentice, training to become a permanent agency in the Labor department. Its purpose, she said, is “to provide a sufficient number of highly skilled workers to supply the country’s growing needs and to guarantee a thorough trade preparation for ap prentices.” —•*— Straus Heads.

Report ing cheerfully on his w estem trip.he out lined the legislative program which he declared the Amer ican people need to promote prosperity. These are the five measures he said should be passed without delay: Crop production control to “build an all-weather farm program so that in the long run prices will be more stable.” Wage and hour standards to “make millions of our lowest paid workers actual buyers of billions of dollars of industrial and farm, prod ucts.” Regional planning to conserve nat ural resources, prevent floods and produce electric'power for general use. , Government reorganization to pro vide tlTwehtieth century machin ery” to make the “democratic proc ess work .more efficiently." . Stronger antitrust laws in further ance" of “a ' low price - policy-1 which encourages the widest possible-con sumption.” Cluurman O’Connor of the -house rules committee predicted, the! house would pass a',farm t>01 in the first week of'the session and then take up the wage and hour measure.

CL P . cerning the pro- C onferenee. posal to hold ageneral party con ference early next year. The plan projected would bring together dele gates from every state just the same as the convention that is held every four years for nominating the presidential and vice presidential candidates and formulation of party policies through adoption of a cam paign platform. The question has many angles and in consequence many pros and cons already have been advanced. In natural consequence also, some very well-known Republicans have taken definite decisions, either for or against the plan which has the ap proval of men like John Hamilton, chairman of the Republican national committee, and former President Herbert Hoover. Some very splen did men find themselves honestly in opposition and have said so in un equivocal terms. The issue will be fought out at a meeting of the national committee early in November and probably there will be such a convention early in 1938. As I have said, there is argument on both sides but after discussing the situation with many Republi cans, it appears to me that the ad vantages outweigh the disadvan tages. I say this from the stand point of the country at large. Many times in these columns, I have expressed the conviction that a strong minority party, whether that party be Republican or Demo cratic, is a very healthy condition for the country as a whole. A po litical party with too great a ma jority is likely to run away with itself and do many unsound things. We have had proof of this during the Roosevelt administration and we had proof of it during the adminis trations of the late President Har ding’ and President Coolidge when Republicans had too many members of the house and the senate and the Democratic minority was impotent. I cannot, speak from a Republi can standpoint any more than I can speak from a Democratic stand point. Nevertheless, from the posi tion I attempt to follow as an ob server of national affairs and long range national policies, it does seem that the Republicans ought to quit fighting among themselves and get together to oppose that which the present minority in this country finds objectionable in President Roosevelt’s policies. They ought to determine on a set of principles and stick to them. It is their obli gation and if they fail to fulfill that obligation, it seems to me they had best disband, get rid of those who attempt to be leaders in the Repub lican party end let somebody else organize the minority faction in the United States-^and it is to be re membered that even in the last elec tion there were almost 16,000,000 Re publican voters. In advocating this action, I am not motivated as much by my belief in and support of some M Mr. Roosevelt’s policies as I am in my disagreement with others of the pro gram to which the New Dealer has adhered. A strong and vocal minority will insure the retention of rights and powers in the hands of the people where they belong and at the sam e time it will compel Democrats to stick together in carrying out sound policies proposed by the President.' That latter statement may sound paradoxical. I think it is not. I. make the statement because Pknow how many times the gigantic Demo cratic majority in congress has fought over trivialities and because I. know how many times sincere op position to unsound policies has met with defeat without the country knowing the reasons for that oppo sition. Taken all in all, therefore, I be lieve it is an obligation upon me as an observer of national affairs to declare'in favor of a-movement , by the minority party that will 'result in a concentration of its power for- the good of the nation. * *. • And what, one may ask, should be the creed of the minority party next year? Weil, as I see the picture, the Re publican party must be the cohserv- . ative party in W h a to f the United States. - th e C reed? President ..Roose velt and his New Dealers cannot avoid being the rad ical party. I have said this1 many times in these columns and it is more evident now even than when I- reported mpon-tbe situation eiarlier. The conservatives can and should have a voice in their government even if it is only an opposition voice that constitutes a balance-wheel. ~ Proceeding.-i from rjthatprem ise, therefore, there can be' littie argu-; .nent that the principles which the Republicans advocate should be drawn from principles of govern mental policies that have' proved sound. That is to say, the Repub- -Iicans cannot afford to attack Mr. Roosevelt on everything he has done, biit they can tear him po litically limb from limb with con structive proposals to take the place of those things he has done which represent discouragement, deceit and disaster to the country’s eco-' nomic life. !here will be no gain for the Re publicans in 1938 elections if they at tempt to ride two or three different horses as they did in 1936. For ex ample, they cannot do as Candidate Landon did, to wit, call for a bal anced budget in one speech and ad vocate being Santa Claus in anoth er; they cannot blow hot and cold, and, therefore, they must be either conservative or radical. It seems to me the Republicans can probably plan for an immediate balancing of the national budget.-In that connection, they can with justi fication demand curtailment, if not entire elimination, of many govern mental functions inaugurated under the New Deal. They can offer con structively a proposal to legislate out of existence some 20 or 30 fed eral agencies for which there never has been and is not now any ex cuse for their existence. • * • Another question that is crying for attention is the huge national ,, .. , debt, now at $37,-Nattonal 000,000,000, t h e D ebt highest in history. That debt must be reorganized and placed on a basis that will permit gradual liqtnda- tion of it. The Roosevelt adminis tration has done nothing regard ing the debt except to build it higher and higher. If the Republican party wants to do a constructive job it ought to set to work to examine all of the statutes enacted by congress in.the last ten or twelve years and espe cially those enacted in the haste Of the emergency with a view to re pealing of many of them. Some can and should be rewritten to make them workable. Those statutes placed on the books by the Roose velt administration constitute out standing evidence of the lack of opposition. We all know many of those bills were written in execu tive departments and sent to con gress with instructions to pass them unchanged. Bad legislation-has re sulted many times and a checkup surely is indicated. As regards legislation now on the statute books, it seems to me We will never have sound prosperity un til certain laws that increase pro duction costs are eliminated. I mean by this that there are numerous laws which have the effect of widen ing the spread between the price of the raw materials and the price of the manufactured products. Legis lation of this kind is bound to force down the prices paid to the pro ducers and, in my opinion, the re sults are beginning to be reflected on products of the farm. Probably the most delicate ques tion with which the Republicans are confronted relates to wages and hours of labor. Business interests have been shortsighted. Too many times employers have overworked their employees and have shown but littie consideration for the rights of labor. The result is that labor is demanding consideration in the shape of protection at the hands of its national government and UfeRe- publicans, whether they desire to or not, must take, a stand. .• • • Among other principles 'upon which I think ' the Republicans'- as ' . the conservativeThen, Therefe party surely can • Theee agree is that there is too much' gov ernment in business. The govern ment itself is engaged in many lines of commerce and industry and it is breaking down private enterprises in countless ways. I regard the function of government as a !thing to be confined to m atters and enter prises which individuals 'cannot do as individuals. We might use the postal service as an example. No one would be so siBy as to say that the postal service could be'operated satisfactorily In any other way than as an agency of the federal govern ment. In contradistinction to the postal service, however, we can point to such things as the building of model honies for private citi zens. I think the government has no business at all in that field. This is so, first, because of the tremen dous-waste accompanying-any gov ernmental operation and, secohd, Tor'the-reason-that private persons; who -are holders of funds whether, the amount is great o r small recog nize real estate mortgages as isound: investments. I need not mention the red tape or the politics that can choke up -any-siich thing as . a government, housing ’development. ’ .I could go on and mention .numer ous other general principles; upon which there can- be honest dif ferences. of -opinion. It is. upon-these, questions wfiere differences are bon-' est and not created for political rea sons that the Republican \ party should express itself. It ought to do this if . it is going to be 'repre sentative of opposition sentiment. . e Weitcrn Newspaper Union. JlskM e Jlnother # AGeaextilQuiz 1.

Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer is going to star Willie Howard, the veteran comic of the stage, in a big musical ex travaganza, because he was so funny in a skit in “Broadway Melody of 1938.” You never saw the skit, no mat ter how carefully you watched the picture, because it was cut out. When they first saw it, the officials of the studio didn’t think it was so funny, and having to take some thing out to shorten the picture, they sacrificed what Howard was sure was the most hilarious skit of his career. Taking another look at the discarded film, officials have decided that it was very funny— so funny that they won’t waste How ard’s talents in the future. With the season of big motion pic tures only a few weeks old, four of the thirty or so pic tures released have made outstanding hits. These are ‘Prisoner of Zenda” with Ronald Colman and Madeline Car roll, “100 Men and a Girl” with Deanna Durbin, “Thin Ice” with Sonja Henie, and Grand Nation al’s “Something to Sing About” with James Cagney. This last is a grand bit of /ionsense in which the pugnacious Jimmy sings, dances, and fights his way through a delightful story, aid* ed and abetted by Mona Barrie. Victor McLaglen roared into New Tork recently on his way to London to make a picture, and when Victor roars anj'one would think the whole, boisterous good-humored American Legion was back in town. His high spirits are infections and his mag netism so overpowering that when he introduced his friend Brian Don- Ievy as the greatest actor in the ,world, everyone agreed—for the mo ment. Paramount goes right on announc ing one picture after another for Frances Farmer, but Miss Farmer says that she is coming to New York to do a stage play called “The Manly Art” written by Luise Rain er’s husband. —-fi- Out at the Universal studios where Henry McRae turns out thrilling se rials faster than you can say “To be continued next week,” they don’t have much time to humor tempera mental actors, but recently they had to give in and waste an hour or so while an actor had a tantrum. The actor was a lion. McRae thought he would save the lion from the ex hausting period of posing while hot lights were adjusted, and brought in a stuffed lion as double. Jealous of this interloper, the lion broke loose from his cage, rushed on the set and tore the stuffed animal to bits.— Theater owners all' over the coun try are begging Republic and Grand National officials to speed up pro duction on Westerns starring Gene Autry and Tez Bitter, so that the warbling cowboys will have time to make personal appearance tours. The ever-growing popularity of these two lads is the sensation at the bookkeeping departments.—+— Ever since Claudette" Colbert broke out in “She Met Him in Par is,” as an accom plished figure - skat er, all the other girls have wanted to show off their profi ciency at winter sports.

LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bibte Inititute of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for November 7 CHRISTIAN CHARACTER AND PEACE LESSON TEXT—CoIossians 3:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT—And let the peace ot God rule In your hearts, to the which" also ye are called in one body.—Colossians 3:15.PRIMARY TOPIC—In His Name.JUNIOR TOPIC—In His Name,INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— How May I Have Peace?YOITNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Christian Cure for Strife. Armistice day is but a few days away, a fact which was probably in mind when the title of our lesson was chosen, for while it speaks of “Christian character” it also refers to “peace.” But the peace spokea of here is the peace of God which is the result of peace with God and which issues in holy living. The only hope of this world for a real and lasting peace is in the winning of men and women to glad alle^ giance to the Prince of Peace, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Altogether proper is the close con nection in Scripture between the most profound spiritual truth and practical holy living. Whether it be. done in a land of enlightenment or in the midst of-heathen darkness the teaching of the deep things of God brings forth in the receptive heart an appreciation of God’s provision for our redemption, a consciousness and hatred of sin and an appropria tion of victory in Christ. AU three of these factors emerge in the study of our lesson. I. “Seek Tliose Things Which Are Above” (w . 1-4). Faith in Christ makes us one with him in his death'and in his resur rection. We are therefore to live in resurrection power. Our Loid has entered into heaven, and is there seated at God’s right hand. If we are in him, if we have died and arisen with him, we are dead to the things of this world and our one desire is to “seek those things which are above.” The mystic union of the believer with Christ brings us so close to God our Father that we may say with the poet: , "Near, so very near to God, Nearer I could not be.For In the person ot His Son I am as near as He.” We are “hid with Christ in God." He is our very life.’ Note however that this union with Christ ex presses itself in a most practical manner for we as Christians are admonished to n . “Mortify Xonr Members . . . upon the Earth” (w . 5-9). The most spiritual Christian is the one who is most sensitive to sin and most earnest in his purpose that it should be mortified—which means “put to death.” We may not temporize—we must not com promise with sin. Put it to death. The list of things which are to be put away include a number of sins which we recognize at once as ut terly. inconsistent with a Christian profession. But note also that there are a number of them which are all too common among Christian peo ple — covetousness, anger, wrath, malice, and so forth. Lying and shameful talk are condoned by some (and practiced by many). HI. “Put On the New Man” (w . 11-17). Christianity is positive. We put off sin—we put on righteousness. Knowing no lhies of racial or creed- al distinction we recognize Christ as “all and in all.” Then as "God’s elect, holy and beloved,” we are clothed with the Spirit of Christ. Tenderhearted, kind, lowly, meek, of a forgiving spirit, long-suffering; all these Christlike ways of living should appear in those who are hid with him in God. As the encircling band which holds together these beautiful and precious virtues, we have love, “the bond of perfectness” (v. 14). These outward manifestations of our oneness with Christ have an in ward controlling power—for in our hearts “the peace of Christ” is to “rule.” The word means to serve as' “umpire,” as a referee in times of-difficulty. There in the Christian man’s inmost being we also find the ‘Word., of Christ” dwelling, really abiding, and not in scarcity but ’richly.” Small wonder that there is in such a heart a never-ending song which glorifies God’s grace and which helps and admonishes others.Our final verse sums up the life of the Christian, for in whatsoever he does there is but one motive, one purpose—a willing thankful re sponse to the! will of God. He does nothing that he cannot do in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Thought ot God The thought of the Divine excel lence and beauty, how far it is ex alted above us and yet how sweetly it shines upon us.

Most preachers in Davie take The Record. Once in a while we have a little trouble in convincing them that they can’t do without this paper. Only once in more than 30 yeats has a preacher lived in Mocksville for four years with- out getting his name on our books. We don’t know who was to blame, the preacher or the editor. The North Carolina State Bar Association, which met' 500 strong a few days ago, condemned Mr Roosevelt's court packing policy. There was but one dissenting voice The lawyers gave Senator }osigh Bailey a rousing reception when he stood up in the convention hall Senatot Bailey was a bitter oppon ent of the President’s court pack ing idea The Wes.ern North Carolina Methodists, at their annual confer ence held recently at Asheville, passed a resolution calling 0 n Methodists to remove frcm public office those who consented directly or indirectly to making North Ca rolina wet. Does this mean that all Methodists are supposed to vote against all democrats who voted to legalize liquor in North Carolina? There is one firm in Mocksyille who doesn’t believe in advertising in The Record. For the past two years we have carried one small ad for this company. They must be aider the impression that the Re publicans, New Dealers and detnO' crats who read our paper, haven’t any money with which to purchase tneir products. It is true that' the editor hasn’t any money, but the company we have reference to, will no doubt be surprised to learn that we have a number of subscribers who are rated at from one hundred thousand to two miilion dollars. The Hornet Resumes. Our old friend, W. Henry Davis, of Fork, who started The Hornet more than 30 years age and who has kept it going off and on - ever since, has resumed publication after a rest of several years. The Hor« net is said to be “the hottest de. mocratic paper in America.” We don’t know just what branch of the party — Jeffersonian, Farley. Glass, Roosevelt or New Deal— that The Hornet belongs to, but we wish Henry all kinds of good luck with his paper. All Kinds Of Weather.

Rain began falling here about S o’clock, which was followed by wind, hail and a typical summer thunder storm Abont two inches of rain fell during tbe night. AU streams in the county were high, and much bottom land covered by waters Wed nesday. Hail is said to have fallen to a depth of about four inches between Couu- ty Line and Harmotiy Tuesday evening. Some damage was said to have been done to the cotton remaining in the fields. It was reported snow fell in MocksviUe Wed nesday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock, which was foUowed by more. rain. We didn’t see the snow. Farmers are getting behind with their fall plowing and planting a re sult of the frequent beavy rains. No Rose Bowl.

Quite a few readers have asked m e how it can be done, and I’m sure many more of you will be interested. Here’s how: Have a spray made of small pipe, connected with the cold wa ter system installed in the ashpit I U t t t t T L of the furnace. Only a short length of pipe will be needed. In it have small holes drilled and cap the free. end. Just before shaking the grates, turn on the spray. It will throw a fine m ist over the whole ashpit, wetting down the ashes as they drop through the grate openings and settling the dust immediately. Then remove the ashes from the ashpit. They will be sufficiently wet to prevent the dust from ris ing and settling in the cellar. The cost and installation of such a spray will be but little, and it certainly will save you consider able work in dusting oS things on which the dust would otherwise settle.

I couldn’t see his face ’cause his hat was pulledlow; you know, the kind you see in the classy ads.” “Could you hear what they were saying?” “No. That window was closed. I open the front one in cold weather, an’, gee, has it been cold in that attic!” “What did you do next?” “Went back to bed, Inspector.” The girl’s voice had cleared. Ris ing excitement was driving out fear. “I must have gone to sleep again for the next thing I knew I was sit- tin’ up straight in-bed calling out: “ *Who’s shootin’?” “I switched on the light and ran to the front window, and I saw a big car going lickety-split down the road.” The policeman appeared at the door. “Okay ’bout the back window and garage, Inspector.” “All right, Tim. Stay where you are. What next, Maggie?” “I stood looking out a minute, thinking that the big car must have back-fired an’ what a hick I was to think tiie sound was shootin’ when I’d grown up in a garage, an’ then I had a kinder creepy feeling; you know, the kind when they say a rabbit's walkin’ over your grave—” “Don’t shiver, Maggie, there won’t be nothing walking over your grave for years yet; don’t the pa pers say we’re all going to live to be a hundred—barring accidents? Then what?” “Then I began to wonder what that big car was doing out here in the middle of the night, and then I began to think of hi-jackers an’ kidnapers an’ bandits. till I thought I’d scream, an’ then I remembered Mrs. Hunt’s rings an’ jewelry—she had classy jewelry.” The girl’s voice had risen till the last word' was shrill with excite ment. JAike Cassidy patted his daugh ter’s shoulder. “Take it easy, Maggie. Tell the inspector the rest that happened; then I’ll take you home to your Ma. Won’t I, Bill?” “Sure, Mike, sure. What did you do after you thought of Mrs. Hunt’s di’monds, Maggie?” “I stuck my feet in slippers an’ pulled on my blanket wrapper. I beat it downstairs an’ come into this room. It was lighted an’ she— die was lying there—just like she is now an’—an’—oh, gee!” “We’re almost through, Maggie,” the inspector encouraged. “What did you do when you came into this room and saw—” “I guess I let out a yell first; then I just flopped to my knees , be side her. I didn’t touch nothing though; I learned that in the mov-' ies. When I saw she wasn’t breath- in’ I beat it to the garage, an* I know I yelled then for the. boss was on the floor face down, his hands behind him, an’ his feet tied. I grabbed his shoulder an’ turned him over. There was a big bump on his forehead and his eyes were dosed. I shook him. When he didn’t say nothing, I rushed to the phone and called Pop. I guess you know the rest.” Her lips quivered, and for the first time her eyes filled with tears. • The inspector patted her Moulder. '‘Good girl, Maggie, just one more question and you can go. Did you hear any rowing between the boss and herself lately?” “He was nice to her.” “Sure, Maggie, but even folks who think a lot of each other—take your Pa and Ma now—” he. winked at Cassidy—“have a cat and parrot fight sometimes, don’t they? You know they do. So Mr. and Mrs. had a quarrel, had they? What about?” The girl twisted her print dress in unsteady fingers. “It was last evening, late—it’s tomorrow now, isn’t it? An’ she’d been phoning—I was in the kitchen, you can hear plain in this house— an’ I heard him say loud: “ ‘What’s this about a paper?’ “I couldn’t hear what she said, but he kinder shouted: “ I 'didn’t mind starting this joint to gouge money out of Trent, but .what you’re planning now is differ ent. It’ll be jail forus if we—’ The door dosed hard an’ I didn’t near any more.” “AU right, Maggie. Make a cup inf strong tea for her in the kitchen, Mike; Ihen take her home.” MUce Cassidy put u s arm about his daughter as they left the room. Mark Trent watched them .out of sight.“My hat’s off to you, Inspector. That girl told you everything she lCnew without being frightened into A " The inspector’s eagle eyes re treated into bony caverns. “My boy, ’bout two thousand years ago a Man laid down a rule for living that I ain’t never heard improved on. I’ve got a girl of my own, and all the time I was questioning Maggie I was thinking how I would feel if my daughter’d been mixed up in this mess. Has Hunt come to?” he demanded of an officer who entered. The steel was back in his voice. “Yes, Inspector, but he’s groggy.” “I’ll go to the garage. Will you come along, Mark? Cripes, I never can remember to call you !Ar. Trent.” “Why should you? Didn’t you hand me my first and only summons for speeding? I’ll go with you, but you won’t leave—” he glanced at the still figure on the floor. “Tim Will stay. The coroner ought to be here any minute now. Come on. I’d like to have you hear what Hunt has to say.” The garage was lighted by one glaring bulb, littered with tools and cans; the floor was patched with oil stains, and the air was strong of gas. On a pile of old times, a man was braced upright against the rough cement wall. He was blond and must have been fine IooIdng be fore life and dissipation had done cruel things to his face. He opened his eyes as the inspector spoke to him. He tried to smile. “Another dick? Maggie sure called out the whole police force. ’Twasn’t necessary. I’U be all right in a minute.” Didn’t the m an know what had happened in the house, or was he acting, Mark asked himself. The inspector rolled an empty gas can on its side and sat down. “Course you’ll be all right. As for Maggie calling out the force, she got an awful jolt coming out here an’ finding you all tied up like a bundle of old clothes.” Hunt put an unsteady hand to his head. “Why did the girl come out here at thiS time of night? She’s never done it before.” His eyes narrowed. He clenched his hand. “What are you doing here, Trent? You can’t get Lola back!” “Take it easy, Hunt, take it easy. Mr. Trent was with me in Cassi dy’s garage—I’m Inspector Harri son, in case you don’t know—when his daughter phoned that you were hurt. He came along to help. What happened to you, Hunt?” “Someone beat me up, you can see that, can’t you? I was working late, I - I hadn’t been feeling well all day and I was making up time, when a man drove up in a roadster and said he had a punctured tire and could I put on a spare. I said, ‘Sure, I guess there’s no law against my doing that if the old tabbies here won’t let me sell gas.’ I turned to get my tools, and that’s the last I knew until I looked up to see an officer, bending over- m e." “Who was the man?” “I don’t know, Inspector.” “Ever see him before?” “No.” “Sure?” “Sure.” “Go on,” prodded Uie Inspector. “Nothing to go on about. I was blackjacked. I thought the man took a crack at my head, but my feet feel as if they were in iron casts.” “Probably those ropes stopped the circulation. Were you—” Mark didn’t hear the rest of the inspector’s question. His eyes were on Hunt’s right foot. Between the upper and sole of the unlaced shoe was a faint line of red. CHAPTER XI From behind the tea-table-In the living • room at Lookout Souse, Brooke Reyburn watched the sun fling the earth a spectacular good night. Mrs. Gregory, in a chair beside the crackling birth fire, set down her cup. “Is it only two weeks since the tragedy at the filling station?” asked Brooke. “When, last Octo ber, I told Jerry Field that I was coming to Lookout House to live, he said: “ 'What will you do marooned on a rocky point of land in a place where the residents dig in and noth ing ever happens?’ . “He can’t say that nothing ever happens here now. - The days have flown and have left behind them houirs smeared with police question ing; men swarming over.this house for finger-prints; newspaper front pages shrieking clues which were corrected in the next issue; skating and lots of it; poinsettias in place of chrysanthemums in the conserv atory in honor of Christmas. It was such a strange Christmas with out Mother, and with Sam absorbed in the ^production of the play. Now New Year's has siiypsa bo of yesterdays, and in .. nours the curtain will .ring up on ‘Islands Arise.’ ” ‘TH be glad when it’s over. Your •yes seem tired, Brooke.” . “Do you wonder? They have looked at the scum and dregs of the underworld, at pictures in rogue galleries, at line-ups, at patients in hospitals,-trying to identify the man who ran through my room.” “I heard that the police were sure that Hunt was the man when r^d paint was found on his shoe.” “The trouble with that clue was that it wasn’t his shoe. When he first regained consciousness in the garage, he complained that his feet felt as if they were in iron casts. Hien the police with their steam- shovel methods hurried him into the living room of the white cottage. When he saw what lay on the floor he collapsed. After he was taken to the hospital—he’s still in a coma —his shoes had to be cut off. Then it was found that they were a size smaller than his at the cottage. The man whom the Cassidy girl saw in the garage must have changed and taken Hunt’s shoes. He was a quick worker.” “Bill Harrison may be sm art, but what has he done , toward clearing up this tragedy? Nothing.” “He wants the case to drop out of the headlines. He .says that the guilty parties will then think that the hunt for them is cooling off.” “I wish they’d put me' on the force, I’d show them, a thing or two.” The brim of Mrs. Gregory’s large hat flopped in unison with the thump of her cane. “I’m not afraid of bandits. I’ve ordered some of m y jewels from the bank to wear to Sam’s play.” “Oh, Mis. Gregoryi Is it safe?” “Safe! Do you think i ’ll be fright ened out of wearing what I like? Besides, lightning never strikes in the same place twice. Lucky the performance is coming off soon; ev erybody is getting edgy.” “We’ll relax tonight. Mark Trent is giving the Fields and Reyburns a party in town at that new Supper Club. It was planned for two weeks ago but it was postponed. It seems a century since I have been to a real party.” “Mark needs a change of thought too. It’s an ill wind that blows no body good. Lola is out of his life, thank heaven. But, much as I love you, Brooke, I’ll never forgive my self for signing my name as witness to Mary Amanda Dane’s will which cut him off.” Brooke’s mind whirled and stead ied. Mrs. Gregory’s signature was not on the will which had been probated; she had made sure of that again recently. Perhaps the one to which she referred had been drawn earlier. “How could you know what you were signing? Witnesses are not supposed to see the contents-of a will, are they? When did you wit ness it?” Brooke asked the question quick ly. She must know and get the un certainty off her mind. “Just a week before Mary Aman da died. Perhaps you remember the day. You drove in just as I went out and—good heavens, I for got! I promised Jed Stewart that I wouldn’t mention it. Forget I told you, Brooke. It wasn’t very tactful of me anyway, but when was I ever tactful? I like that rust-color gown on you.” Why had Jed Stewart asked Mrs. .Gregory not to mention her signa ture? Did he suspect dishonesty? Why wonder? Hadn’t she been sure for weeks that the two men in Mark Trent’s house were there for some other reason than sheer love of a New England village in win ter? The thump ot Mrs. Gregory’s cane brought her mind to attention. “I’ve asked you twice, Brooke, U you thought Sam liked Daphne Field.” “He likes her, Mrs. Gregory, but Sam won’t allow himself to go senti mental over anyone at present.” “Allow himself! Then he isn’t In love. We may be living in a pro foundly changing society, but love hasn’t changed. It still strikes like lightning, burns, and if it’s the real thing, settles into a steady flame. But I’m glad he doesn’t care for the Field girl.” She'rose and drew her sable cape about her shoulders. “If you are going to town tonight you ought to be dressing. What are you wear ing?” - “An adorable silver frock. It does things to my hair, brings out the copper glints in it.” Mrs. Gregory lingered on the threshold. “Be nice to Mark, Brooke. He’s a wonderful boy, don’t you think so?” “I’d hardly call him a boy—he’s too dictator-minded, but that’s the- trend. Chacun a son goiit—I’ve joined a French class—I prefer Jer ry Field’s type.” Mrs. Gregory expressed her re action by a denatured snort. “You prefer Jerry Field! I’d like to take you over my knee and spank sense into you! Good-night!” Broods laughed. “Good-night, Mrs. Gregory. Even if you don’t approve of me, I hope you’ll come again soon.” „ She was still smiling as she re turned to the living-room window for a last lingering look at the color' ful west. “It . is unbelievable that .’all this comfort really is mtoe,” she told herself.- “Only a year ago,: Brooke Reyburnt you were driving a shabby sedan and counting every penny and—” (TO BE CONTlM EDi Historic Hoaxes 88 By ELMO SCOTT WATSON » © Western Newspaper Onion. S°m "F lying D utchm an” AMAZING have been the de- ? velopments in aviation in recent years that it Is a brave man indeed who will venture to say “Why, they can’t do that!” when told of some new feat in the air by man. There fore, it is not especially remark able, perhaps, that the whole world accepted as authentic a photograph which came out of Germany a year or so ago. 'It showed a man flying through the air just above and a little ahead of four others who were running after him. It might have been mistaken for a skier in action except for the fact that he was holding two bell like objects and apparently blowing into them through a tube. The de scription on this photograph read: “For the first time in history'a man has succeeded in flying under his own power. This picture shows Ericb Kocher of Berlin performing that feat, followed by his excited friends. He blew into the bell-like arrangement, causing to revolve two rotors which also served as wings. On his feet was a ski landing gear, and attached to his hips was a ‘tail skid.’ ” . So cleverly had the photograph been “doctored” that it passed for an authentic representation of an epoch-marking, incident in aviation and was accepted as such—yes, even by American newspapers which printed the picture with the headline, “Man’s First Flight Under His Own Power.” It was not until some time later that the hoax was revealed. Considering the news that has been coming out of Germany about Hitler’s treatment of some of its citizens, one wonders if the “fly ing Dutchman’s” name has some significance. “Kocher” could easily be mistaken for “kosher,” you know!• • • W ashm g th e W hite Lion* IT ’S only once or twice In- a cen- * tury that Easter Sunday falls on April I but on one of those occasions the coincidence made it easy for some April Fool prankster to per petrate, a classic hoax. In March, 1860, several thousand citizens of London were greatly flattered when they received a neatly-printed and official-looking card: which bore the following inscription: “TOWER OF LONDON! Admit the bearer and friend to view the annual ceremony of washing the white lions on Sunday, April 1,1860. Admitted at the White Gate. It is particularly requested that no gratu ities be given to the wardens and their assistants.” No one had ever before heard of either the White Gate or the white Hons so everyone who received one of these invitations was curious to know whether the latter were real or just statues. Children especially were thrilled at the prospect of see ing them—it was just like going to the zoo. A few staid citizens were dubious about the propriety of attending such a function on Easter Sunday but that didn’t bother several thou sand others who entirely overlooked the fact that it was also April I. So they swarmed to Tower hill in han som cabs and on foot and began inquiring eagerly of. the gatekeepers where the White Gate was. As soon as the gatekeepers saw the invitations they immediately recognized the hoax . and they greatly enjoyed the opportunity of answering “April Fool!” to the ea ger inquirers. In fact, it has been suspected, although never proved, that some of these gatekeepers were the perpetrators of the hoax which has become historic in England. • • * . Long D istance T axi R ide CEVERAL years ago newspapers ail over the country printed an amusing story, furnished to them by one of the press associations, which told how a bibulous visitor to New York hailed a taxicab and, in response to the driver’s query, “Where to?”, replied, “Losh Ang- lesh—and' pleash don’ drive too fas’.” Whereupon the taxi driver •took him to Los Angeles and, ar riving there, looked at his meter and announced that the fare was $900, which the bibulous one cheer fully paid. Then, so the story ran, the driver sold his taxi and re turned to New York by bus. It was a good story until—the cab driver mentioned, was located in New York and denied the whole yarn. He did admit that, during the. depression, he had loaded bis moth erless children in his taxi and head ed west, hoping to find work some where en route. But he found, that jobs were just as scarce in other parts of the country as they were in New York, so; when he reached. California* he sold his taxicab and returned home with his children by bus. So that much of the yarn, at least, was true. AS for the tipsy passenger and the $900 taxi fare which he paid^-that part of the story was invented by the press agent for the junk yard to which the taxi man bad sold his car. That, in itself,, isn’t such a bad story.

A fello w out west wants us to do a lot of advertising for him for nothing, and if it brings results he may become a customer. A gnn firm wants us to run $1 9 worth of advertising and then send them $10 in exchange for a shot gun. Such a gun would retail at about $6. For running $17 worth of locals we can get a $1.00 magazine tell ing how to do dressmaking at home. By running $50 worth of adver tising and sending $ 2 5 to an At lantic City firm, we will be given a deed to a lot. When the tide is in the lot stands six feet under water. A Kansas real estate firm will give us a deed to a lo* '2x 60 feet for # 4 9 worth of advertising and $25 cash. We wrote to a fellow who knew of the lots offered and be replied that they had no cash value, but a trading value of about $5 .00. If we can run a column write-up of a doings to 'be held in North Da kota this fall, amounting to about $7, we will sent two $1 tickets. Our railroad fare up there and re turn, for two, would be about $60. We can have almost any Chicago daily paper sent us free. Tbe sub scription rate is $10, but all we have to do is to run $36 worth of locals Fot $40 worth of advertising and $2$ cash we can own a bicycle. Tbe wheel sells for $12. About one dozen brms are want ing to give us shares in gold mines for advertising. . A nursery firm will send us a 25 cent rose bush for only five dollars worth of advertising. For running a. six inch advertise ment for one year we get a gross of pills. And for ruaning $15 worth of readers we get two reserved seat tickets to the circus, wbich retail at abont a dollar each.

During the month of September, liquor stores in the morethan a score of counties that have legalized them in North Carolinai. sold near* Iy six hundred thousand dollars’ worth of alcoholic beverages, * Cutlar Moore, chairman of the State Liquor Commission set up by tbe last Legislature, gives tbe figur es. He has received repot t? from 23 complete and three incomple county audits. They show a total sile of $56 >.624 61 wotth of spirits. Of this huge sum, the State will get about $40,000 in revenue. The counties will get a share of tbepro- fits, of course, but tbe bulk of this money has already gone into tbe pockets of the liquor manufacturers This means that most of the more than half a million dollars the peo ple of North Carolina paid for al coholic beverages during the month' of September has gone out of the State to enrich those commonwealth where the liquor is made. The liquor distillers of other States will take several million dol lars from tbe people ot North Caro Iina this year And our people will have nothing to show for it. except broken bodies and the inevitable in crease in disease and crime which results from the sale and. consump tion of alcoholic beverages. Instead of boasting about the pro fits being piled up by liquor stores in this Stat?, our people had better view such a situation with deepest concern for the economic, as well as the moral; and social future of their Commonwealth. Any business that drains the State of millions of dollars annual ly without giving\anything of value in return is bound, to Cripple and hamper all other business 'enter prises. Every dollar-sent out of the State for liquor is a dollar that could have been spent for useful and construc tive purposes In North Carolina. It is true that the State and counties receive considerable re venue from tbe tlaf&c in liquor. But in tbe long run the business they are engaged in will cost them far more in destruction of other re venue producing sources, through the loss both oi human, efficiency and of millions in cash sent out of the State, than they will ever get from taxes on the sale oi alcoholic beverages —Winston Salem Journal Try Yonr Radio; Yon Can’t Do It.

We read a magazine article- a few davs ago which-asked the question: ‘ How would you like to live in the so-called 'good old days,’ . when stores opened at six o’clook Jn the morning and didn’t close before 10 o’clock at night?” Well, to tell 'the truth, ihose hours might have been just a little too. long. Just the same, folks in those days weren’t afraid to pitch in and do a good- day's work. They prided themselves on it, in stead of trying to get along by ,do ing just as little work as possible They saved their money tor old age protection, rather than throw ing it away and then depending upon the government to come to their assistance. When they lost their jobs, they used their owu in itiative in finding new ones. It was the same wav with many other things. When you compare the folks who lived in the “good old days” with those ot us who are living today, we think you’ll agree that tbe comparison isn’t at ill in our favor —The St te, Dr. Poteat On Prohibi tion.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— Downtown I saw some sort of siege-wall going up. At first I thought it must be a part of fhe proposed plaza leading from our new terminal. Our new terminal has been under construction almost as long as New York’s unfinished Cathedral of St. John. Inch by inch it progresses, giving creeping defiance to those critics who say that what Los Angeles needs is not any additional en trances, but more exits. On second glance I decided the owner of the business prop- Irvin S. Cobb erty behind this strange rampart probably made the same mistake I did. I saw a pic ture in the paper and.I said, “Pret ty late to be printing a photograph of Fifth avenue showing how it ap peared when the World’s war heroes got through pranking last month.” I looked again and saw it was only a scene in Shanghai after the Jap anese finished bombing. So I figure this forehanded Los Angeleno is just getting ready for next year’s convention of the vets 'out here. When his wall is abso lutely impregnable against assault, he’ll no doubt paint a big sign on it reading: ! “Welcome, American Legion.” I ’ * *Kindness for Reptiles. T TNDER the slogan, “Kindness for reptiles,” the National Park service discourages people from de stroying every creature they en counter, merely because it wriggles or crawls. I’m what you might call an oc casional snakist, indulging in snakes only in moderation. In ojther words, I can take my snakes or I can leave them be. But realizing that prac- . tically all snakes destroy noxious vermin, I refrain from murdering every passing snake, regardless of his private habits and personal dis position, just for being a snake. I was raised in a locality where moccasin snakes were so numerous the Republicans used to accuse us of voting them at county elections. Yet I recall only one instance of a moccasin snake biting anybody, and it must have been tempted beyond all power of self-control, for the fellow bitten was a pious party who didn’t think little children should be suffered to believe in Santa Claus. I regret to state that he recovered. It was the shake that died. • • • Movie Preferences. I DON’T like movies about hospi tals where an impossible young surgeon performs impossible opera tions, in four strokes under par, us ing his irons all- the way ’round; and then, while replacing Uie divots, makes love to an impossible al though beauteous nurse. But between operations he washes his hands. Dadgum him, he’s always washing his hands! Who does he think he is, Pontius Pilate? I don’t like movies about news paper offices where the hero is a drunken reporter who behaves in a manner peculiar to newspaper re porters- (in the movies); which is so darned peculiar that, in a real newspaper office, somebody’d beat out his brains with a wet towel. I like movies showing Myraa Loy, when not playing nurse ; andvSpenc- er Tracy, when not playing re porter. Anyhow, nothing could be an ab solute failure that has a Walt Dis ney short separating the ultra- colossal or regular feature from the extra-special four-star absolute ly unparalleled super-stupendous preview feature..• * * * Gossip About Cobb. JUST a little effort to trace down Jgossip now going around: (I) The claim that I am going to play Scarlett in “Gone With the Wind” is absolutely unfounded.' Lat est word is that the coveted role will go to Fannie Brice, although the Ritz brothers are being men tioned. If they should be chosen, Scarlett will be played as a three- handed quartette. (II) Dame Rumor hath it that the Atlantic sperm whale will be re named the Justice Black sperm, whale. Not yet confirmed, but sounds sort of plausible. The At lantic sperm whale has a- hide 'al most two feet thick. (III) The statement that Charley McCarthy may join the reorganized brain trust at Washington remains unsettled. Probably without foun dation. For while Charley is trained' to sit upon his master’s knee, he cannot be depended on to keep si lent and has too many brains to be trusted. (IV) Stdries.to the effect that Rep resentative Hiun Fish will be Re publican nominee for President in 1940 may be regarded as absolutely authentic so far as Representative Ham Fish is concerned.IRVIN S.

Chautemps Gives Warning F’ THE necessity arises, France is prepared and ready to employ force in defense of her vital inter ests. At the same time she offers peace to all nations “that will prove by their acts their de sire to keep their en gagements loyally.” Such was the warning, evidently directed especially to Italy and Ger many, which Pre mier CamiRe Chau- temps uttered be- fore a congress of M.Chautemps the central federa tion of his Radical Socialist party. "I hope especiaffy in the grievous affair of Spain this pacific, prudent, and courageous action will succeed in cutting short the violations of jus tice which cannot be renewed with out constraining France and Britain to renew their Rberty of action,” Chautemps said. The premier’s declaration recaUed French insistence that unless the nonintervention committee soon pulled foreign troops out of Spain France would open her frontier to aid the Spanish government. Mussolini insists there are only 40,000 ItaRan volunteers in Spain and Fascist organs in Italy said these figures must be accepted by the nonintervention committee with out argument. Dispatches from Paris say that Mussolini and Hitler at their recent meeting In Germany reached an agreement by which Italy was giv en the right to order some long range guns from the Krupp works and armor plate for a new war ship. In return Hitler was promised a free hand in southeastern Europe to obtain the foodstuffs and trade Gennany needs. Italy is plainly menacing France’s African posses sions, but the danger of an ad vance by Germany through Czecho slovakia and Austria,, has delayed, a showdown in the Mediterranean. Chautemps’ declaration of policy may give Il Duce pause. Franco's Progress Ge n e ra lis s im o f r a n c o , having completed his conquest of Gijon and the rest of thetloyalist territory in northwest Spain, began moving his insurgent forces east ward to the Aragon front, where his officers said the “decisive offensive of the war” would be begun. . Government dispatches announced the Madrid1-Valracia loyalist regime was prepared to block the insurg ents on. aff sectors of the 300-mfie fine from the French frontier south to Teruel, east of -Madrid. —K - Ecuador Coup de'Etat GEN. ALBERTO ENRIQUEZ, war minister of Ecuador, and officers of the army executed a coup d’etat which forced Provisionid President Federico Paez to resign and leave the country. Enriquez at once assumed power as “supreme chief’ with a !cabinet composed largefy of army officers;' He de creed-the establishment of a popu lar, tribunal to deal with persons accused of tampering with public funds and announced “a national po litical purge.” The people accepted the change of government quietly. — * — Japanese Drive Checked SIX days and nights of intensified fighting around Shanghai brought from the spokesman of the Japa nese army the admission that its general advance of more than 100,- 000 men with.tanks and planes was “slowed down.” The Chinese had blown up bridges, mined highways and erected barbed wire entangle ments, and all the time had bat tled the invaders desperately. BuRets from a Japanese plane kiRed one British soldier and en dangered Americans and other for eigners on the edge of the inter national settlement in Shanghai. Of ficial protests were lodged immedi ately and the m atter was so serious that it was referred to London and Tokyo. Reports indicate that Japan has lost a part of North China which she had occupied. It was said Mon gols and .CMnese of Suiyuan had declared the independence of that province and set up a new regime at Kweisui.—-K- F. D. R. on Farm Bill PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, re- * turning to hisHyde Park home, was giving especial attention to the farm legislation which he wishes passed by congress in the extraordi nary session. He sent dupUcate let ters to Chairman Ellison D. Smith of the senate agriculture committee and Chairman Marvin Jones of the house committee urging them to speed up the legislation, but warn ing that it must be kept within budgetary limits -.unless congress was prepared to impose new taxes. “The new. national farm act should safeguard farmers’ income as weR as their soil fertility,” the President wrote. “It should pro vide for storage of reserve food sup- pUes in an ever normal granary, so that if severe and widespread drouth recurs consumers wRl be as sured of more adequate suppfies with less drastic increases in price than otherwise would be the case. “It should provide for control ol surpluses when and if necessary but at the same time it should pre serve the export markets that stiU are open to our farmers. I “It should protect both farmers and consumers against extreme ups and downs in prices' of'farm prod ucts. It should be financed by sound fiscal methods. Local administra tion should be kept in the farmers! hands.” Urging sound fiscal relations, Mr. Roosevelt said that it is important not to interfere with the expected balancing of the budget in the fiscal year 1938-’39. Experts in Washington figure the new farm program may cost as much as $1,000,000,000 in the first year.—-K- Farmers Warned on Loans P DWARD A. O’NEAL, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, headed a group of farm leaders who cafied on the Presi dent for the purpose of asking loans of 60 cents a bushel on corn to im prove prices. It was understood Mr. Roosevelt warned that crop loans should not be pushed so high that the drain on federal revenues would become too heavy; and that he intimated that the - budget would not permit great extension of loans at this time. However, Secretary of Agriculture WaRace subsequently told a press conference a government loan on this year’s large corn crop “should be exceedingly desirable.” SteiwertoRetire ’ 1 1 wENTY years ,of public service A is enough for Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon, Republican. He has announced that he wiR not seek re-election next year, but wiR re turn to the practice of law. > Steiwer was the keynoter of the Republican national convention of 1936. Credit System Praised PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, apeak- 1 ing at the opening of the new Federal Reserve buRding in Wash ington, gave fuR praise to the fed eral reserve system as a most im portant part of the government’s plans for economic stabifify and se curity; He said disastrous depres sions and booms could be avoided only by the development of the credit and monetary machinery of the nation. That machinery, he continued, “must be steadily perfected and co ordinated with all other instruments of government to promote the most productive utilization of our human and material resources. Only in that way can we hope to achieve and maintain an enduring prosper ity, free from the disastrous ex tremes of booms and depressions. Only in that way can our economic system and our democratic institu tions endure.” Mr. Roosevelt avoided mention of the jittery condition of the stock markets, but before deUvering his address he had seen Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and learned that the market was recov ering, due to heavy buying by bar gain hunters and perhaps to recov ery of confidence by investors. Among the many notable persons on the platform with the President was Senator Carter Glass of Vir ginia, who fathered the federal re serve system during the WRson ad ministration. The veteran senator was loudly cheered. —-K - John Roosevelt to Wed V J RS. FRANCES HAVEN CLARK t ’ t of Boston announced that her daughter, Anne Lindsay Clark, and John Roosevelt, youngest son of the President, wiR be married in Na- hant, Mass., next June, shortly after Mt. Roosevelt is graduated from Harvard. Mrs. Elizabeth Donner Roosevelt, former wife of ERiott Roosevelt, second son of the President, and Curtin Winsor of Ardmore, Pa., were married in PhUadelphia. Mrs. Winsor and ElUott Roosevelt were divorced in July, 1933. —K— . Landon Calls on G. O. P. A LF M. LANDON came to the surface in a radio address to 17,000,000 Americans who voted for him in the last election, and es- peciaUy to the Re- pubfican party as a .. whole. He said he j- ■ - ■ had caffed this “ra- |* i dio meeting” to sug- ' —, m gest ways a n d means by which r - I “we, the minority ■ party,” can be of outstanding service to the country. The Kansan de- Y . d a r e d PresidentAHM.Landon Roosevelt had failed as an administrator, had faUed to foRow the Constitution, and now was demanding increased power. “What he really needs is less pow er,” Mr. Landon asserted, “a posi tion that wiR force him to take the advice and counsel of other men of both parties—men whose hearts also are in the right place, but men who have had more experience and who know more about the practical ap- plication of government than hedoes.’' It is up to the RepubUcans, he said, to curb Mr. Roosevelt in his demands. He also discussed the war talk prevalent after the Presi dent’s Chicago speech and said: “We are faced with a 'situation where he may make a mistake that would indeed be tragic, that might lead to war. Close observers have increasing doubt if he thonght his recent declaration through to its logical conclusion.” In conclusion Mr. Landon said: “We have had a New Deal. Now what we most need in America is a new yardstick—a yardstick to meas ure the abitity and the accpmpRsh- ments, as weR as the good inten tions, of public officials. . “It is time to put a solid founda tion of workable legislation under the air castles which the President forever is blowing. “It is time to realize that we must apply the resources of the mind if we are to make the wishes of the heart come true.” - K - Woman in Record Flight JEAN BATTEN of New Zealand, J twenty-six years old, set a new record for a flight from AustraRa to England. .

Leave a layer of ashes about two inches deep spread on the grates. Spread about two inches of coal over this layer of ashes. Over the coal, place a generous amount of kin d lin g—newspapers atjd light, dry wood. The turn damper in the smoke pipe and the ashpit damper should be open wide. If the ashpit damper Iim (taaptr A on your furnace is in back, open it and also the ashpit door in front. This assures maximum draft and quick ignition. When the kindling is burning well, add fresh coal gradually. In this way you get a deep fire in little time—the kindling burning the coal beneath it, and the fire, in turn, igniting the coal above it. From time to time, add additional fuel until you have a solid, deep fire. When this is done, check your dampers and close the ash pit door. Should the kindling while ignit ing smoke a bit through the fur nace door crevices, it is due to the chimney being cold and not providing enough draft to carry off the smoke. This is easily overcome by wadding a bit of newspaper, lighting it, and in serting it into the check damper. This heats the air, creating a draft in the flue pipe and chimney and carries the smoke away: CONSTI RATED? What a difference good bowel habits can make!

Washington. — In this so-called modern civilization of ours when we ,, , are supposed to N etw ork keep pace with of Spies progress, every one of us is con fronted every day with some sort of government regulation or restric tion. We are told what to do and what not to do and a good many politicians want to increase the number of tilings we are told to do. Included in this modern civiliza- Jion is a perfect network of spies who bear official titles of one kind or another, and probably the most insistent of these spies are the agents of government who look after taxes. AU of which is necessary because tax payers undoubtedly will dodge a little if they can get away with it. The federal government has a good many thousands of them; state governments have them and county and city governments main tain a veritable army of employees whose job it is to check up on tax payers. They do their job thorough ly.' Make no mistake about that. If the taxpayer does not come through in accordance with the orders of the tax collectors, there is plenty of punishment. Which brings us to the point of and the reason for this discussion. It sets the stage for the question: If the government, national, state or local, is so punctilious about tax collections, the gathering in of peo ple’s money, why is it that govern ment is not equally punctilious about the way the money is spent? This question, is very much to the fore front now.’ It is a question of para mount importance because of a pro posal for governmental reorganiza tion which President Boosevelt in sists must be considered by the forthcoming session of congress. The federal government must be reorganized. The reason for this reorganization, according to the President’s argument, is that the present structure is inefficient, wasteful, and generally quite un wieldy. It is to be granted, I think, that ,much of the present federal govern ment structure is inefficient, waste ful and unwieldy. Throughout the government one will find various agencies charged with the same re sponsibilities, doing things in oppo site directions, winding and binding red tape around the citizens until some of them scarcely can get a hand free to m ark their ballots. The whole thing needs a thorough going over but, as I see the picture, this going over should be done with a view to making governmental ma chinery workable and rebuilding only where hastily conceived gov ernmental agencies and functions have demonstrated that they are acting as a deterrent rather than an encouragement to the nation as a whole.• * » I have no quarrel with Mr. Roose velt concerning the need for chang- , ing some parts of Changeg the governmental Proposed machine. I have a very definite ob jection, however, to some of the changes he proposes. I object stren uously, for example, to his move to destroy the present setup for pro tection against improper spending of the taxpayers’ money. Specifi cally, I can see no possible excuse for Mr. Roosevelt’s demand that the general accounting office be made subservient again to the whims of politicians by placing that agency under the control of a political ap pointee, namely, the secretary of the treasury. That is exactly what is proposed, and if the President’s governmental reorganization pro gram is accepted by congress in its present form, the President of the United States, whether Mr. Roose velt or his successor, again will be able to determine to a large meas ure how the taxpayers' money is spent. That may appear to be an exag gerated statement. One may ask about the constitutional provision which requires that all appropria tions shall be made by congress. This would seem to prevent execu tive mismanagement of the taxpay- ers’ money. Such, however, unfor tunately is not the case because we have had proof under President Roosevdt’s administration what can be done when one political party has such complete control of the machinery of government. Con gress appropriated billions. True. But had there been no general ac counting office in existence, I doubt if anyone could have even guessed what would have happened to those vast sums of money. It has been my privilege to watch operation of the federal government almost 20 years. Because of that experience, I think I am able to say that I am more conversant with the tricks to which politicians resort in getting money out of Qie treasury than persons who have not had an opportunity to study the government as it actually functions. And be cause of that experience, I am go ing to make the unequivocal state ment that unless congress repells Mr. Roosevelt’s plan to destroy the curb on trick and illegal spending, this nation and its citizens will pay for the folly in waste not now con ceivable.• • a Someone might arise and say that my statement is unjustified because _ . there was not suchD ram on a terrific drain on Treasury the treasury be fore the general accounting office came into ex istence in 1921. My answer to that is that there was a tremendous drain on the treasury before 1921 when the accounting, auditing of bills and checks, was done by indi vidual agencies of the government. The difficulty is that, except for war time agencies, the cost of run ning the federal government before the general accounting office was established was only about one-sev enth of what it is now. None of the federal agencies then in exist ence were as large then as they are now; none had as much authori ty nor as great a scope of opera tions, and the bulk of the new agen cies have been bom in legislation that is haphazard and undigested to say the least. The older agen cies of government have scores of workers who know how to handle their business. Regretfully, it must be said that most of the new agen cies are controlled by, completely filled up with, men who are un familiar with the gigantic problems their jobs entail. Public sentiment is a thing diffi cult to understand. For example, millions of people became wrought up when President Roosevelt sought to increase the membership of the Supreme court of the United States by the addition of six judges of his own choosing. They rightfully fought back against the destruction of our judicial system. Fighting words characterized the criticism of Mr. Roosevelt and his New Dealers who sought to break down the sys tem of checks and balances created in our government by the founding fathers when they provided for ex ecutive, legislative and judicial di visions of govenimental authority. So, I am wondering why thus far there has not been an outburst of vehement criticism of Mr. Roose velt with reference to the proposed destruction of the check on spend ing. I am wondering, too, why peo ple who complain so violently against spies in the form of tax in vestigators should not demand of their government equal protection for the funds after they have been taken away from the taxpayers.• a * There are two other agencies of the federal government which Mr. _ _ _ Roosevelt’s reor- TWO G ood ganization p l a n OnesDoomed will eventually de stroy. Each has proved its worth. Each has a rec ord of service to the nation and pro tection for individual citizens that cannot be ignored. I refer to the interstate commerce commission and the federal trade commission. The ICC has supervised the rail roads nearly half a century. It has compelled them to be fair when some individuals in the railroad in dustry were inclined to cheat or take advantage of an unorganized seg ment of the population. Sometimes there has been criticism of the com mission for placing the railroads In a strait-jacket, but the good that the ICC has done far outweighs any damages it has caused. Vet, it is proposed in the Presi dent’s reorganization plan to take away the independence which has characterized the history of the op erations of this agency. The Presi dent wants to place over the com mission a political appointee respon sible only to the Chief Executive. Through all of the years I have worked in Washington, there has been a never-ending effort on the part of politicians to get their hands on the agency that controls the'rail roads. It takes no stretch of the imagination to see what would hap pen if the politicians were able to succeed in this direction. I am quite convinced that if the ICC is sub ordinated to the political philosophy of a presidential appointee, every one of us who uses the railroads will be paying toll. The toll will not go to the railroads but to the politicians. With respect to the federal trade commission much the same can be said. Iiike the ICC, the trade com mission is quasi judicial. It is an independent agency. Times unnum bered, it , has stepped on crooked business and has forced business of this stripe to play the game within the regulations. On 'occasion, I have criticized specific actions by the commission as Iaddng in judicial consideration, ^ y and large, how ever, I think no one can say un qualifiedly that the federal trade commission has failed to do its job in the interest of individual citizens —which, after all, is what govern* ment is supposed to do. ® Western Newspaper Union, "IMPROVEDUNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I CHOOL L e s s o n By REV, HABOLD L.

YODNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Christian Minister in the Modem World. “The Christian Minister”—there is no greater calling among men, but none is more often the target for misrepresentation and abuse by1 those outside, and all too often the Victimof the carelessness, weakness, and sin of those within its own cir cle. On the other hand it has had, and continues to have to this day, within its ranks such a noble army of faithful and sacrificial men as would probably be impossible to du plicate in any other calling. The study of today’s lesson should arouse in the hearts of Christian people a high regard for the minis try as a calling, and a kindly pur pose to aid their minister to live up to its glorious possibilities. Every true minister who studies it will find his spirit humbled before God in thanksgiving for the privilege of service, and in prayer that he may be forgiven for his failures and em powered for the work of the future. The need for such a study is indi cated in the verses just preceding our lesson, namely, I Timothy 4:1-5, where we read of the express warn ing of the Spirit of God that in the latter times there should be teach ing and preaching which departed from the faith, substituting men’s wisdom for God’s Word. One who looks around him cannot but feel that we have fallen upon that evil day. I. What to Prieacli (I Tim. 4:6-9). The “good minister of Jesus Christ” preaches the words of God. To do this he must himself be “nourished” by them. Spare your preacher the necessity of running errands, serving on boards and committees, and encourage him to study his Bible. Preacher, are you studying God’s Book, learning and teaching “good doctrine” ? If so you will have no interest in or time for “profane and old wives fables.” n . How to Preach (I Tim. 4:10- 12).1. Sacrificially (v. 10). The man who regards the ministry as a nice, easy, respectable occupation is not in the same calling as was the apos tle Paul. In fact, there is nothing to indicate that he is in the Chris tian ministry at all, for in that call ing there is labor and suffering of reproach. This is not something to be borne in a spirit of resigned sub mission. The minister knows and “trusts in the living God,” and gladly bears every responsibility with which God may entrust him. 2. Authoritatively (v. 11). The minister of Christ speaks for God. In doing so he teaches with assure ance and is to “command” men in the Lord’s name. AU too often the servants of the Lord feel and act IiTta “grasshoppers” (see Numbers 13:33), and everybody else regards them as feeble and impotent, when they should be “strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (II Tim. 2 :1).3. Actively (v. 12). Whether young or old, the minister is to be an ex ample, a pattern in his active daily life. Note how discriminating is the scripture. He is to be a pattern for others in speech, manner of living, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity of life. In . Who Is to Preach (I Tim. 4:13-16). 1. The man who is divinely called (v. 14). God called Timothy; men recognized that call and ordained him to give his life to the exercise of his God-presented gift. This is the right order for our day. 2. The man who is properly pre pared (w . 13, 15-16).. The ministry calls for the best preparation that a man can possibly obtain. He must know how to read God’s Word, both publicly and privately. He is to be skilled in exhortation, and in teach ing Christian doctrine. In conclusion, let us consider the portion from II Timothy 2 which properly presents the work of the minister as that of a soldier at war against the world, the flesh, and the devil. He must be prepared to bear' hardness, and he must not yield to the temptation to get into “side lines,” no m atter fcoW dignified and profitable they may be. His sole business is to serve and to please God. What Education Means The real object of education is to give children resources that will en dure as long as life endures; habits that time will ameliorate, not de stroy; occupation that will render sickness tolerable, solitude pleas ant, age venerable, life more, dig nified and useful, and death less ter rible.—Sydney Smith.

There May Be Many Keasms for r \ Making QniIted CIuiir Pads. U TF ALL the reasons for quilted •*■ chair pads were lined up in or der of their importance the most intangible reason of all might head the list. Yesr it is quite likely that any decorator, amateur or professional would place atmos phere at the top. But then it is also possible that first rating might be given to the reason that the pressure of slats across the backs of chairs is softened by quilted pads. Then, though it might not be mentioned, it is a known fact that worn out cane seats sure sometimes replaced with inexpensive composition seats which may be disguised by gay quilted pads. Chintz, calico or gingham chair pads are in fact one of the sim plest and most inexpensive ways of adding color and charm as well as comfort to a room. Such pads are often used on the backs of chairs and not on the seats. and especially for side chairs, the seat pads used without any back cov ering. Al making such small things as these it is quite easy to do the quilting on the machine. Of MEST TO I HOUSEWIfE When to Add Salt.—Salt will curdle new milk. In preparing porridge, gravies, etc., salt should not be added until the dish is pre pared.• • • For Tight-Fitting Lid1-T o re move a tight-fitting lid from a cof fee can, wrap a light wire around the can below the lid, insert a stick and twist it up tight.• • • Save Stale Bread Crumbs.— Bread that has become hard and stale can be ground into crumbs, browned in the oven, and used for improving the flavor and appear ance of many dishes. Store in an airtight tin.• • • Filling for Tea Biscuits.—Sar dines mixed with salad dressing and a few drops of lemon juice make excellent filling for tiny tea biscuits.• • • Keephig Boards From Warping. —Warping of long boards can be prevented to a considerable ex tent by standing them on end or on one edge so both sides are equally exposed to the weather. * * *. Cooking Doughnuts.—Doughnuts will crack and brown before they are thoroughly cooked- inside if they contain too much flour or if the fat in which they are fried is not hot enough.* ■ • • Towel Holden. — Either a spring-type clothespin, or the pa per clamp from a loose-leaf note book, properly nailed to the wall makes a satisfactory towel hanger for the basement. Tomato Marmalade.—Half cup vinegar, one cup sugar, one quart chopped tomatoes, one teaspoon mixed spices, one teaspoon salt, spices. Cook together until thor oughly dissolved. Pour into shal low pan and cook in slow oven for one and a quarter hours. Turn into sterilized jars and cover with paraffin while hot.WNU Service. Or, if you wish to take the other point of view about it, the work of quilting them by hand would not consume an unreasonable amount of time.

I J Straat Addeass , WITH BANNERS CHAPTER XI—Contbmed - 1 7 - Memory slashed into her self-con gratulation. Mrs. Gregory ’had witnessed a will a week before Mrs. Dane had died. Where was; it? Should she go to Jed Stewart at once and tell him what she had heard? But he knew. He had asked Mrs. Gregory to say nothing about it. Why hadn’t he told her? What did it all mean? It gave her a panicky feeling, as if she were wan dering blindly in the dark on the edge of a precipice. She poked the fire vigorously. It was a physical outlet to her turmoil of mind. “Take care, Miss, or you’ll set the chimney afire,” Henri warned from the threshold. - “I think not. It was thoroughly cleaned when I came here to live.” Why was he puttering? He was drawing the hangings over the win dows, pulling a rug in place, re folding the morning newspaper on the desk, fussing about die parrot's cage, a parrot who had lost half of his tail and all his self-assurance since his excursion into the outer world. He cleared his throat and drew long bony fingers over his slack mouth. “I—I’ve been wanting a chance to talk with you since—since we— we found the parrot, Miss.” He was avoiding mention of the tragedy at the filling-station. Why? “What have you to say to me?” He drew his fingers across his mouth. “It’s about that—what hap pened at the filling station. You know I went to the movies that eve ning, came home and went to bed. Miss Lucette and the others saw m e when I came down to find out what the noise was I heard. You know Ihat after that I dressed and went out to hunt for the parrot, that I brought him in with me, but the police want to check up on me every minute. You can help me very much, Miss.” "How?" “By swearing that I was in this house at the time of the—the rob bery at the filling station.” “But, as I remember it, you weren’t, Henri. You said that you were hunting for the parrot.” The butler emitted a sound like the snarl of a savage beast at bay. “You’d better say I was, Miss, or—or I’ll tell how I found this in your desk.” He drew a folded pa per from his pocket. “Mr. Sam has overlooked grand dramatic m aterial right here, Hen ri. You would steal the show as the villain in his comedy. Justw hat is ‘this’?” Her voice was tinged with amused unbelief. “Take it, Miss.” Brooke thought of the fangs of a wolf as he smiled his secretive smile. She unfolded the paper and noticed that a tiny comer of the sheet was missing. Mary Amanda Dane’s writing! Mbs. Gregory’s sig nature! Henri’s. Clotilde’s. Was it fiie will of which Mrs. Gregory had spoken only a few moments ago? How had it come in Henri’s posses sion? “You say you found this in my desk?” The butler’s greedy eyes glit tered like black beads. “Yes, Miss. I’m prepared to swear to that in court unless we can come to terms.” “Why didn’t you take it directly to Mr. Trent or Mr. Stewart?”'Was her voice as icy as her body felt? “I thought it was too bad to do that until I found out if you and I couldn’t work together. Mr. Mark tried to get m e in wrong with the old madame.” Hatred flamed in his eyes and voice. “Why should I help him?” “Will this—this—help him?” ’ “Read it; Miss.” “ril wait until I’m alone. The paper is torn. Did you tear it when you—pulled it from my desk?” Henri’s teeth showed between suddenly pallid lips. “I—I—didn’t pull it, Miss. I - I took it careful.” The last word was a whisper. What was there about a tom comer of a sheet of paper to terrify him? “I’ll talk with you about it later, Henri; perhaps—perhaps, as you suggest, we may be able to work together.” “I thought you might see it that way, Miss, but—don’t take too long.” Brooke stood rigid, listening until she heard the door to the china closet swing. Curious how she had come to know every sound in this house which had been hers for so short a time.. Herst Was it hers? What was in the paper which Henri would swear he had found in her desk? She had pretended to consider his proposition that they work to gether merely to get time to decide what she should do. She raced up the stairs, switched on the light in her boudoir, locked the door behind her. She spread out the paper on her desk, shut her eyes hard, -drew a long breath before she looked. There was not much on the page, but what there was, was in Mrs. Dane’s fine writing. The date was that of a week before .rite died. The words burned into Brooke’s mind as if written with a red-hot poker: “I. don’t know how to. word, a formal will, but I hereby give and bequeath all my property real and personal—which I left in a previ- tus will to Brooke Reybum—except he amount as stated in said will to By E m ilie L ozin g C Emllle Loiinff» VNU Service* be given to my faithful servants, Henri and Clotilde Jacques, to my nephew Mark Trent, to have and to hold during his life and to dispose of as he wishes. I know now that my ideas of right and. wrong should not deprive him of his rightful in heritance. He was a wonderful son. He has been a devoted nephew. I make him sole, executor without bonds of my estate. I ask him to provide an income sufficient for frills and fun. for my dear young friend, Brooke Reybum.” Brooke studied the signature. Mary Amanda Dane’s without a doubt, unless it was a clever for gery, Anne Gregory’s name sprawl ing under it, and Henri’s and Clo tilde’s tight, foreign writing. Suppose she destroyed this paper which would deprive her of a for tune? A lighted match under it and it would go up in smoke. Who Was She Two Persons? wotdd know? Who would believe Henri against her? Wasn’t he al ready under suspicion in the filling station hold-up? Suppose he did try blackmail? He wouldn’t get far with it. What terrible thing was she think ing? The eyes of the white faced girl who stared back at her from fiie mirror were big with horror. Was she two persons? Had her other self turned craven? Had that thought changed her face? For an instant she had been a criminal at heart. She, Brooke Reybum, who considered her personal standards of honor and decency of the high est. After this she would under stand temptation as she never had understood it before. A car! Lucette and Sam. She must hurry and dress. Sometime during the evening she would give the paper to Mark Trent. That would be her answer to Henri. Where could she put it meanwhile? She would tuck it inside her frock. She was fastening the corsage of green orchids Mark Trent had sent her to the front of her gleaming silver frock when she met her brown eyes in the mirror. She dropped the flowers as if they had burned her fingers. She couldn’t wear his gift until she was sure that he be lieved that she had not known until this evening of bis aunt’s change of mind. Why hadn’t he come directly to her when he had heard Mrs. Gregory’s story? Because he be lieved she knew where the will was, that she was dishonest, that was why. Perhaps he was right. What would he think of her if he suspected that for a split second she had thought of burning it? She would wear Jerry’s gar denias; she had chosen Mark the Magnificent’s orchids first, simply because he was her host, she as sured herself. She added more color to her white cheeks, to her lips, dusted her face with powder, anything to switch her mind from that nightmare instant of terrifying suggestion. She waited until she heard her brother’s and her sister’s doors close before she opened hers. Sam popped his head out and called: “White tie tonight, Brooke?” “Of course, Sam. Our promising young playwright must be swanky. I’ve had your top hat ironed and there’s a gardenia in a box on your dresser.” She heard his groan of resigna tion as she started down the stairs. She stopped on the threshold of the living-room she loved. Now it would be tom up by the roots, all ’her father’s treasures would go back to storage. And her gorgeous flower - windows would be but' a dream. Would she be obliged to re turn the money she had spent? That would mean dragging a ball - and chain of debt the rest of her life. Cheerful prospect. Could Mary Amanda Dane’s “little friend, Brooke Reybum,” see herself ac cepting from Mark- the Magnificent an income sufficient for “frills and fun”? Never. She would have to lnint for a job. But she wouldn’t have to hunt—she wouldn’t! The Palm beach offer! Had the position been filled? She. would send a night letter. Better do it now before Sane and Lucette came down. As she waited for the telephone call to go through, she told herself that she had learned one inestima ble lesson: she had learned that for every person the gateway to suc cess was in himself; that achieve ment was a m atter of keeping on keeping on, of giving one’s best and trying, everlastingly trying to make that best better. She was re turning to business equipped with that knowledge. She gave her message and turned to the fire. She didn’t really mind going back to work, she had loved it, but she had planned to do so much for her mother, for Lucette, for Sam. Sam! Nothing must happen to dis tract his mind from the production of the play. If she were to produce that will now, the neighborhood, to say nothing of the cast, would palpi tate with excitement, the Reybums would have to leave Lookout House at once. She knew nothing of law except that it was as relentless as a juggernaut. What the court de creed had to be done. A producer from New York was coming to see Sam’s comedy. The Boston man ager wouldn’t bring him down un less he thought Sam had talent. The performance was only 48 hours away. Could she keep Henri quiet until then? If she couldn’t she was the world’s worst actress, and Sam had said that she was good. After the play Mark Trent was to keep open house for cast and audience. She would stay until the last guest had departed, then she would give this will, burning against her skin, to him arid fade gracefully from the picture. Better lock it up in her desk until then. It wouldn’t be safe to carry it around with her. Back in her boudoir she locked the paper in an inside drawer of her desk and slipped the key into her bag of silver sequins. Returning to the living-room, she paused before the portrait above the mantel. “This ril .means that you and I will be on the move again,” she said in a low voice. “On the move, but with barnieis, Duch ess! With banners!” She threw a kiss to the woman in green satin and emeralds who looked back at her gravely. Sam appeared in fiie doorway, and Broote quickly asked: “Have you heard any more particulars about—about what you call the crime wave?” She perched on the arm of a big chair and looked up at Sam standing with one elbow on the mantel. “Nope, nothing except the usual lot of wild yam s which roll up like snowballs at a time like this. Have you ever thought that one of her ex-lovers might have bumped off the fair Lola?” “Sam! Where did you hear that?” “Didn’t hear it. That ex-lover motif is- a plot, a little thing of my own. It’s my conception of what should have occurred to put claws, tearing, digging, ravening claws in to the Filling Station Mystery. May use the idea sometime; that’s why I asked you to clip all the accounts of the police activities and confes sions, if there were any. Have you done it?” “I have, from every paper I could get hold of. When you want them they are in a manila envelope in the lower right-hand drawer of my desk. I haven’t said anyfiung to you about it but I was afraid that after what had happened, Mark Trent might feel that he could not go on with the play.” “Afraid! That’s putting it mildly. I nearly had heart failure till he as sured me that he would keep his part. He’ll make Islands Arise.’ He does more than play the load, he puts glamour into the comedy and warmth and strength and vital ity. I told him he was a fighting lover. He looked queer for a min ute; perhaps he was thinking that he didn’t put up much of a battle for that wife of his who walked off with the French count. Why should he change his plans for a woman like that? The shock of the tragedy has practically worn off. Spirits are picking up and by day after tomor row everyone will be keen to make whoopee, to get the thing out of their minds. Two days! Boy, but I get cold feet when I think of all that night means to me.” He frowned at his younger sister who, in a diaphanous white eve ning frock sprinkled with gold leaves, appeared in the doorway. “Lucette, when Jerry Field quotes Islands Arise,’ look as if- he were saying something serious, not as if he were inviting—” “I’ve followed exactly the busi ness in my sides, Master Reybum.” “Don’t apologize.” “I’m not apologizing. I’m explain ing.” “Remember, kiddo, that tomor row night will be the last re hearsal.” “For which blessing, praise be to Allah! I’ll tell you right now, Sam Reybum, you’ll never get me in another play of yours.” “Boy, I won’t want you! ‘Islands Arise’ will be a smash hit! I’ll have the best actors in New ’’York camping on my trail for a chance in it! I’ll—” He looted, at his sisters watching him with fascinated eyes. Dark color surged to his' hair. “I suppose you two girls think I’m a dam foot” Lucette made a little dash toward him and patted his arm. (TO BE CONTINVBat Historic Hoaxes By ELMO SCOTT WATSON © Western Newspaper Union. “T w o Fam ous ScientisIsn THE World’s Fundamentalist con ference was meeting in Toronto, Canada. One of the speakers, a cer tain Doctor Brown, had defended the story of Jonah and the whale against the doubters who refused to take that familiar Bible story lit erally. So he was delighted when he received a letter from the city editor of the Toronto Mail and Km i pire which seemed to back up bis belief. . The next evening Doctor Brown read'to the 3,000 delegates to the conference the letter which de scribed how two well-known Ger man scientists, Herr Doktor Butter- brod and Herr Doktor Smearkase, while delving in some ruins near Nineveh, had found the skeleton of what they believed was a whale. It had a sort of muscle arrangement working a trap door which gave access to the stomach. This, the scientists declared, proved conclu sively that it would have been sci entifically possible for Jonah to live contentedly for three days inside the whale. The delegates cheered the read ing of this letter and Doctor Brown was well pleased. But he wasn’t so pleased the next day. Newspaper men came to interview him to get more particulars on the story. He was quoted as saying that the two Germans were men of international reputation. Then the Mail and Empire came out with a story which announced that the names of the two eminent scientists might be otherwise trans lated as “Doctor Bread and But ter” and “Doctor Cheese” and that the letter was a hoax planned in its offices. It did not reveal where it had secured the manuscript and it was not until several years later that the author of it was revealed as one of its reporters named Charles Langton Clarke, who bad written the story for his own amuse ment many months before the Fundamentalists m et in Toronto. . . . A n A ncient Stone Ff 'THE year 1875 the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Argus reported that a hunter in the Catskills had made a discovery which was of “extraordi nary antiquarian interest.” While resting on a grassy hillside he glanced idly at a'boulder and then rubbed bis eyes in astonishment. On it were plainly engraved these words: * 1643 TH-ISS-TO-NEWA-SPUTH- ER-EFO-RCATTLET-OSCRAT- CH-THE-IR-BA-CKSON S.B. AN-TH-ON-IE In what language was this inscrip tion written? Was it carved there by some survivor of a lost race? Was it some magic formula or the key to buried treasure? No one knew, but. for days everyone was talking about it and guessing as to its meaning. And then somebody had the bright idea of writing the syllables down and leaving out fiie dashes between them. In a moment the translation became clear. It was: “This stone was put here for cat tle to scratch their backs on.-S. B. Anthonie.” Who was S. B. Anthonie, the au thor of the hoax? No one ever knew. Why the date “1643” ? Probably just a whim of the playful Mr. Anthonie, put there to lead its “discoverer” to believe that he had found some thing of “extraordinary antiquarian interest” !• • • International A pril Foolishness P' WE Americans think that the best April Fool jokes are "made in America” we need to think again. For the nations of eastern and cen tral Europe have had longer years of practice at it than we have and newspaper readers in those coun tries expect on April I to read in' their journals fantastic news items which are believable enough to fool all except the most sophisticated. Several years ago a Polish, news paper published a photograph of the tearing Tower of Pisa, erect as the day it was built. Over it was the startling headline “Straightened by Order of H Duce.” Such was thr reputation of Mussolini for “getting things done,” that many readers be lieved he had indeed, had the Tower of Pisa restored to its original posi tion. One Warsaw paper carried a pho tograph of Charlie Chaplin arriving at the principal railroad station which resulted in hundreds of calls at its office to learn where the in quirers could see the famous Amer ican movie star. But. the prize hoax was the one published in a Bucharest paper, it told in great detail of the arrival of George Bernard Shaw at a local hotel and made :its reporter’s interview with that witty Irishman so true to life that even Seasoned re porters on other papers were gulled.. Believing that they - had been “scooped,” they rushed .down to the hotel en masse to get interviews, for their papers: before Shaw left, town, only to be greeted with an “April Fool!” (or the Rumanian equivalent for it) by the smiling hotel clerk. U n c U P h il S a y A s A W ide Difference The difference between perse verance and obstinacy is that onq often comes from a strong will and the other from a strong won’t.

' ,Floods Reveal Strength of Red Cress Aid Given 1,062,000 P e n tm Through SeM Jp by Agency The elasticity ana scope of Red Cross disaster work Is shown In a recent re port on Red Cross relief measures dar ing the unparalleled Ohlo-Misslsslppl Valley flood of .this year. At the height of the emergency Sed Cross relief offices were established In 182 inundated counties and In 140 .Man tles where refugees were cared tsik the report stated. Eight regional head quarters offices controlled the 328 coun ty offices, and wer^ in turn supervised by the National Red Cross In Washing ton, D. C. A statistical summary of persons - aided - by the organization indicates that the floods constituted the greatest peace-time emergency ever faced by the nation. The Red Cross gave some form of assistance to 1,062,000 men. wo- men and children. From January - to August hundreds of trained workers helped by thousands of volunteers ad ministered to the sufferers. A Red Cross rescue fleet of 6400 boats was organized, according to the report. Emergency hospitals estab lished totaled 300 and 3600 nurses were assigned to flood duty. In more than 1.000 refugee centers the victims of the flood were sheltered, clothed and IeA Through the Red Cross medical- health program and the work of public health agencies sickness was kept to normal for the time of year In all inundated areas. Because of its disaster experience the Red Cross was directed by the President of the United States, who is also president of the Red Cross, to co ordinate the effort of all federal flood relief groups. Government and Red Cross officials met daily at the Red Cross headquarters building in Wash ington to plan relief measures and pre vent duplication of effort. "We were fortunate in having 66 years of disaster relief experience to -'call upon in meeting the emergency," Admiral Gary 'T. Grayson, chairman of the Red Cross, said. It was found that 97,000 families composed of 436,000 persons had to ,.have their resources supplemented or an entirely new start provided by the Red Cross, the report stated Red Cross emergency and rehabilitation assist ance was as follows: reBcue, trans portation and shelter tor 62,000 fam ilies; food, clothing and other mainte nance for 193,000 families; building and repair for 27,000 families; household goods for 90,000 families; medical, nursing and sanitation help tor 15,000 families; agricultural rehabilitation for 10.000 families; other occupational aid for 3,000 families and other types of relief for 4,000 families. "Credit for this largest peace-time relief operation in the history of the nation must go to the Americtui people1 who contributed a Red Cross reUet fund of more than 326,000,000," Admiral Grayson said.DurlngtheyeartheRedCrossgave ,aid to the victims of 105 other dis asters In 36 states, Alaska and the Iflstrict of Columbia. The Red Cross financed the majority of these- relief operations from money contributed through memberships daring the an- , nual Roll Call last November, since it is only in case of large scale disasters ■ that a national drive for relief funds is -made. ' This year the Roll Call Ib from No vember Uth to the 25th. The Red Cross t seeks a greater membership to meet < its disaster relief and other service ' obligations during 1938. Last year Red Cross Chapters gave . -vital help to 120,000 needy families. E xperience Teaches Elxperience does take dreadfully >h school-wages, but he teaches e no other. _______ 2. W CO Notice!

Continuing to Branch Out. The average citizen is well aware of the fact that the Federal Gov ernment is aiding in the construc tion of highways in the various states, that assistance is being given to the different phases of Social Se curity and that appropriations are made for several other purposes. But we wonder how many citi' zans are aware of what is being done through the' NVA—National Voutb Administration? At first thought, it would seem to be a splendid thing: this busi ness of assisting boys and girls to obtain a college education, but there are several phases of it which merit serious consideration. Information given out recently discloses tbe fact that tbe amount of money spent in North Carolina for student aid in the year 1936-37 Bm ounted to approximately $650,- 0 0 0. You might sav: "Well, what a bout it? Isn’t it a most worthy cause?” On the, face of it, yes. But, as we have just said, tbere are other other angels to be considered. Tne effect of this money is to subsidize tbe colleges, the high schools and tbe students. They are all committed to this sort of thing at once. This country was dedicated to the principle of separation of Church and State, but the denomi national institutions which receive this money through the students have become dependent upon it They say they are not receiving a subsidy from the government; that the students receive tbe subsidy and they get the benefit from it. What would become of tbe teach ers but for this income? It is re flected in tbeir salaries, of course Our impression of the whole pro position is that it is a most insidious thing. It is striking very deep at heart of some of the fundamentals which we have cherished for gsne- rations. And yet, it is almost fu die to raise a voice of protest. The students and colleges want tbe money and will go to any extremes in order to continue getting it. That they will bave to bow to every wish of tbe Government apparent ly means very little to them. Neith er does the fact that the Govern ment will be able to dictate What their policies shall be. It is but another link in that chain of centralization of power, which is being welded more strong ly every month. A time will come when we will want to break that chain and when we will desire to re. turn to the old-fashioned principles of American government, but every year will find it : increasingly ^ifli- cult to do so. One by one we are relinquishing our individual' rights, and one by one the Government is taking them over.

In a recent Saturday Evening Post. John Fort writes: ‘‘I Work For A Power Company.” He describes himself as a typical white-collar worker approaching middle age. His salary is less than $ 2 0 6 and more than $too a month. He has a wife, three children and •‘a small house on which there is a b'g mortgage. ” The power com panv is in the Southereast. Tbe Tennessee. Vallfy Authority, paid for and subsidized with government money— taken from a'l taxpayers —is paralleling his company's lines and preparing to take away a sub stantial part of its business John Fort is wondering what is going to become of him and his jo b -th e job that stands between his family and the man who owns tbe mortgage on his bouse, the doctor, the groceryman and every one wi:h whom he dees business. “ So far as I am concerned,” says John Fort, ‘‘my government !stak ing sides with the crowd which tries to gobble up my pay check, so right at this point I stand up and ask whv. I ask why because I'm one of the class of citizens tor whose benefits it is said that all this whooping and hollering about uplift has been going on . . . Frankly speaking, I am about to lose my patriotism, such as it is.” The jobs of many John Fortsare imperiled by tbe government's pol icy of competing, on a tax-free, subsidized basis, with private busi ness which is heavily taxed and stringency regulated and has long served the public efficiently and economically v There is no reason for believing, that government, un less it is checked, will be satisfied with gobbling up tbe power busi ness.' Already the polit'ciansare looking toward the railroads. Why not insurance, groceries, banking, pring and publishing? If govern ment U justified in producing and selling electric power, why not other thing>.?:, -And then millions of TohnVForts will see their jobs destroyed and given to political ap pointees.’ John Fort concludes bis Satur day Evening Post article, ‘'I ’m supposed to be steady in a- pinch. It’s going to be the hell of a note when these youngsters and the job less and dissatisfied come back from tbeir experimenting and look fcr the heavy-shouldered family men withstand the attack which they provoked-and find that we’re gone.

Advene Trade Balance Feared. Washington, D. C — America may chalk up its first unfavorable trade balance in forty-four years at the end of 1,3 7. commerce de partm ent trade authorities fear. Present import and export statfs tics show that the nation will prob ably and the year buying more in foreign markets than has been ex ported from the United Stat-S, the trade experts have revealed. An indication of the forfhcoming unfavorable balance was contained in the trade figures for the first six months of this year, when it was revealed th at imports exceeded ex ports hy $147,00 0,0 0 0. Hope is held by some authori t<es*jihat the fall shipments of A- merican grown crops to the worla markets will bolster tbe export fig ure to within close ranpe of the import volume, but it is generally agreed that even with a “ normally large” export, tbe figure for tbe vear’s exports will be well below the amount of imports from other countries At the same time, the commerce depaitment reported that for the first half of this year the price paid for import goods has been 13 per cent higher than for the same pe riod last year, while exports from this country have brought only 8 per cent higher prices. Officials here point out that one effect of an unfavorable fa d e bal ance might be a reduct'on in gold shipments to this conntrv. When a nation buys more than it sells a- broad—the case of this country— such a settlement migh: be effected by releasing gold earmarked fcr this country abroad, thus reducing the inflow of gol.l nere, The above article was copied from a democratic newspaper pub lished in W ashington City So far as tbe editor of The Record knows, and be has been in tbe newspaper business more than 4 4 years, this is the first time since the days of Grover Cleveland, that the United States has had to . purchase more goods from foreign nations than she has been able to sell to foreign nations Such a condition is bad, and hasn’t happened when a Re publican president has been steer ing the old Ship of Stat», so far as we have been able to learn.

You’ve read of course of the government estimate concerning this year's cotton crop: it will be the largest that we have in many a year. ‘’T hat's why we need some kind of crop control,’’ we beard a man say a*few days ago. ‘ Everybody seems to have increased their acre age over what it was last year, judging from the record-breaking yield that is ahead of us ” And that is where he and. many other people are wrong. There has been no increase in cnttm acreage over last vear. On the Ct1Ier hand, th>re has been a material reduction in acre- age. “ How come sucb a tremendous yieid of cotton then? you might ask Tbe reason is that while we can control acreage we cannot control t'ie weather nor tbe yield per plant. Those factors are controlled by God. It is estimated that the average yield per acre this year will be 249 pounds. Only once, in the history of cottcn production in tbe United States, has the yield been higher than 210 pounds per acre. Ideal weather conditions have been pre valent tbronghout the cotton belt aud there have been no droughts or other inclemencies of the weath er. . That is wbv we are having sucb a good record-breaking produsticn of cotton this year despite our re dnction in acreage. You can’t blame the government, for it. r.oi can you blame the individual farm ers. Ify o u want to blame any body. it looks like you’ll have to blame God.—The St-ite. War Debts Unpayable. One write says tbe reason the na tions of Europe can’t pay tbeir war debts to Uncle Sam is because be won’t accept in gold, and they haven't the gold, and they haven’t tbe gold because Uncle Sam has most of it already—that they could and would pay in commodities, bet Uncle Sam won’t accept them be cause we have too much stuff heie now,' and need to export rather than import various commodies — that accepting goods in payment wonld ruin our own people and idustries —all of which makes a complicated situation. The writer in question likened the matter to A having both money and munitions during the war, and B having neither, yet B bad to have munitions or be whipped, so A loaned B the money with which to buy munitions from A, and, at tbe end, A had gotten all the money bick that be bad loaned, and B was not only broke, but owed A eleven billion dollars. Now A has a corn er on all the gold, and conuot afford to accept anything else but gold in payment, which B hasn’t got B is willing and able to pay with goods, but A has too many goods, but A has too many goods already so won’t accept the goods. It looks like some calamity' will bave to hit A, so that be will have to pay out bis gold to B before B will be able to pay bis war debt to A. . The whole war debt question seems to be a case of can’t helpit, on both sides Uncle Sam bad just as well say, ‘‘Let’s call tbe whole thing off.” —E x.

National Topics ” Interpreted by WilUa&n Bnickart Mattonat Press Butldlns Washlnston 1 D. C. Washington.—The old mother hen, congress, has settled down, pre pared to hatchWhat Will something from It Hatch? the nest of crop control eggs. At this stage of the proceeding, no one can make a guess as to the brood that congress will produce any bet ter than a farmer’s wife can tell what will be hatched by a real hen in her chicken house. About all that can be said for sure is that President Roosevelt called congress into special session to enact crop control legislation and, therefore, there is likely to be crop control legislation of some kind. It may not be hatched in the special session; the chances are that the many differences of opinion and the many demands cannot be reconciled in the six weeks which the special session may occupy before the regular session of congress con venes in January. In addition to the lack of time in which to maturely examine crop control questions, a rivalry has de veloped between the house and the senate over the honor of drafting and putting through the law which will tell the farmers what Utey can and what they cannot.do as farm ers. Let me say just here that such a rivalry may work to the benefit of agriculture because it is bound to mean a compromise between the house .and senate on the legislation that .finally is enacted. In other words," extremists, for and against any proposal, will have to yield and this may possibly result in some workable program for crop control. The main question before con gress is the type of crop control, law to be enacted. There are two kinds. Control may be compulsory or it may be .voluntary. Most of the powers that be in the Depart ment of Agriculture seem to favor the compulsory kind—a law that will tell the farmers they can or cannot do certain things and if they violate the decree, they can be punished. Many groups of farm ers, however do not want that sort of thing. In consequence we find in congress now proponents of both the compulsory and the vol untary programs and each side appears to be determined in its posi tion. We have seen both types used. Po tato growers will rqjnember how the potato control- law laid down the rule that a quota of production should be imposed upon every farm er and that he must pay 45 cents per bushel above the value of his potatoes for every bushel produced above his quota. These growers will remember also the agricultural adjustment administration require ment that all potatoes sold must be packaged in a certain way that was prescribed for the grower by the AAA. In this connection it will be recalled how there was a penalty in addition for those who failed to prop erly package the potatoes they sold. Beyond these requirements, there was also a penalty prescribed to be invoked against any person who did not properly package his pota toes and place a government stamp thereon. Besides all this, there was an “in former” section in the potato con trol law. It provided something of a bounty for any person who re layed to the authorities any infor mation he had respecting failure of any farmer to comply with the law and the regulations issued there under. It was reminiscent of pro hibition days when informers were paid to squeal on bootleggers.• • * The compulsory cotton control law was less stringent but it had penalties attached Cotton so that any cotton Control farmer who failed to comply with the regulations • had to pay a tax oh\ cptton produced over and above his allotment. This tax was so high— 50 per cent of the value—that it amounted to a fine as punishment. The other kind of cotton control law, the voluntary plan, had no penalty provisions. This control was ex ercised by issue of subsidies or pay ments to farmers for raising various crops provided they limited the amount to the dictation of the AAA. Thus, under the voluntary control, the farmer could take the govern ment’s money and limit his crop to what the AAA said was his quota and thus be paid for compliance. Or, he could refuse- the. govern ment’s subsidy and raise what he pleased.. Now, in addition to these proposi tions, Secretary Wallace of the De partment of Agriculture, is promot ing what he calls-his “ever nor mal granary” plan. This is to serve as supplemental to the crop control on the production side. The secre tary has an idea that the federal gov ernment .can take the surplus of good years off of the hands of farm ers and hold them through the lean years when poor crops have failed to produce the amount required’for American home consumption.The secretary’s “ever normal granary” plan is a red hot poker and there will be plenty of sparks flying off of the handle as well as the hot end when - this thing is de bated in congress. Opponents of the secretary's scheme contend that this program is straight out regimenta tion and that it goes as far inthis effect as anything done by either the Fascist Mussolini or the Com munist Stalin. It takes no stretch of the imagination, therefore, to see what is just ahead in the matter of a controversy for crop legislation for the reason that each of the pro grams that has been thus far ad vanced contains political dynamite.• • » Chairman Jones of the house agri cultural committee began work on drafts of bills for Jones crop control long D rafts Bills before the sessionconvened. Several weeks prior to the opening day of the special session, Mr. Jones ap pointed six sub-committees; each was charged with drafting legis lation applicable to a specific com modity. In doing this, Mr. Jones threw the door wide open. He in cluded six farm crops to share the alleged benefits of crop control leg islation, including the “ever nor mal granary” surplus control pro gram. The sub-committees were di rected to work out legislation cov ering cotton, wheat, com, tobacco, rice and dairy products. Inclusion of rice and dairy products came as a surprise. Heretofore, there had been little talk about including rice and none about dairy products. The information that filters into Wash ington is that a majority of tire daisy people have no particular hankering for government dictation in their business. Chairman" Smith of the senate agricultural committee like wise has been busy, Throughoutthe summer he has been attempting to get a line on farmer sentiment by a number of hearings in various parts of the country. From all indica tions, Chairman Smith, who comes from South Carolina and is a farmer in his own right, is not enthusias tic about too much government dic tation in the field of agriculture. Over on the house side of the Capitol, Secretary Wallace has many fol lowers. Obviously, he will co-op erate with them very closely. In deed, some of the house members who do not like Mr. Wallace or his “ever normal granary” scheme are referring to the Wallace supporters in.the house as “Henry Wallace’s boys.” That indicates better than anything I can say how deep-seat ed the feelings are. To add to the complexity of the job facing congress, President Roosevelt has said definitely that if there are subsidies paid to farm ers in connection with crop control legislation, that legislation must carry additional taxes to take care of the bounty payments authorized. Simmered down, therefore, what Mr.' Roosevelt has said is that if the farmers want that kind of crop control legislation, they and all con- sumers must pay for it with add ed taxes. I have heard general commenda tion of the President’s position. It surely represents a straightforward policy by the Chief Executive in this regard. He has told the country now that he is willing to support agricultural subsidies through con trol of the crops if the whole country which has to pay the bill is willing to bear the extra taxes that are re quired.• • • Having presented the picture as I see it, it seems almost unneces- _ _. sary to add that Tw o Btg there will be two Lobbies enormous lobbies bearing down on congress in the special session as well as probably in the regular ses sion that convenes, in January. I think I foresee now how Secretary Wallace and those who believe with him are going to operate both with in and without the administration. That is to say, there will be adminis tration pressure and when anyone says that there is administration pressure, they are saying nothing more or less than that the adminis tration is lobbying. It has always been that way and it is no excep tion that the Roosevelt administra tion does the same sort of thing. The other lobby will embrace a considerable representation of farm er sentiment that is opposed to Washington dictation and which feels that additional taxes will have to be absorbed in part at least by agriculture. This happened in, the case of a processing tax which was thrown out as unconstitutional. It will happen in every case for the reason that no one is going to ab sorb taxes when they can be passed on. When theyarepassed on to the farmers, that is the end because the farmer has no place to send them. The consumer is in the same fix. ■ . .

Maybe that’s why the world seem s so overcrowded. > There’s the candidate who belongs to all the secret orders; if he left off his emblems, he’d catch cold; knows every grand hailing sign there is; hasn’t missed a lodge brother’s fu neral in years; can hardly wait for the next one to die. No campaign complete without him. Candidate special izing in the hearty handshake, the neck- Irvin S. Cobb embrace, the shoul- der-slap, the bear-hug, the gift of remembering every voter by his first name, and the affectionate inquiry regarding the wife and kiddies. When he kisses a baby, it sounds like somebody taking off a pair of wet overshoes. Usually has a weath erbeaten wife needing a new hat. Strutty candidate who’s constantly leading an . imaginary parade of 50,000 faithful followers. Loves to poke his chest away out and then follows it majestically down the street. A common or standardized species.* » • Biblical Wisdom. IN THE Book of Nahum, Chapter *■ II, I came upon this verse: “The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways; they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.” Those Old Testament prophets certainly peered a long way into the future. Because I traveled by night through a main thoroughfare leading from. Los Angeles to the sea and vice versa, and I knew what Nahuml was describing. But not even an inspired seer of the Bible could imagine a record of traffic mortality so ghastly as the one we’ve already compiled in this year of grace 1937 A. D. (automo bile destruction)—or a people so speed-mad.• • * How to Fight Japs. TXTHENEVER we have a Jap- ” anese war scare, I think of Uncle Lipn Whittemore, back in west Kentucky, who loved to dis pense wisdom as he Iptched one practiced instep on a brass rail and with his free hand fought the resi dent flies for the tidbit of free lunch which he held in his grip. One day a fellow asked Unde Lum, who had served gallantly in the Southern Confederacy until a very hard rainstorm came up, what he’d do if the yellow peril boys in vaded America. “I’d hunt me a hollow tree in the deep woods,” he said. “Yes, son, the owls would have to fetch me my mail. I been readin’ up on them Japs. They’re fatalists.” “What’s a fatalist?” demanded someone.“Near ez I kin make out,” stated the veteran, “a fatalist is a party that thinks you’re doin’ him a deep pussonal favor when you kill him.” • • * Hollywood Fashions. § OME envious style expert says Hollywood fashions are too.gar- ish. If he’s talking about Hollywood males, I say they’re just garish enough. If they were any more garish than they are, visitors would have to wear blinders, and if they were any less garish, Italian sunsets would stand a chance in the com petition. And I want the champion ship to stay in America. Billy Gaxton picks out something suitable for a vest to be worn to a fancy dress party and then has a whole suit made out of it. Bob Montgomery’s ties are the kind that I buy in moments of weakness and then keep in a bureau drawer be cause I’m not so brave as Bob is; and also I keep the drawer closed because I can’t stand those! sudden dazzling glares. And Bing Qcosby is either color-blind or thinks every body else is. But his crooning is mighty soothing. And so it goes— red, pink, green, purple, orange, sky-blue and here and there a dash of lavender.

The B ritish and Japanese adm irals had a hot dispute over the right of the form er to prevent the passage of Japanese launches up Socchow creek. Soon after the Japanese began shelling the residential a rea of the settlem ent and an outpost w here E nglish soldiers w ere quartered w as destroyed.

YO U N G P E O P L E AN D A D U LT T O PIC — T h e N eed lo r C hristian W orkers. “ L aborers together w ith God” — such is the glorious and distinctive title of tru e C hristians, according to the verse ju st preceding our as signed text. U nfortunate is the all too com m on e rro r of regarding only pastors and m issionaries as the w orkers in God’s vineyard. W hile w e recognize th a t there is a special calling for som e m en to leave th eir vocations and devote th eir entire tim e to the L ord’s w ork, let us be sure properly to stress the im por tance of every C hristian’s being a w orker for God. The portions assigned for our study present th e privilege and re sponsibility of C hristians as fellow- w orkers w ith C hrist, under the fig ures of builders and of seed sow ers. I. B uilders of th e H ouse (I Cor. 3:10-15). The first requisite of a building is a foundation and it m ust be strong and tru e. B uilders for C hrist have a sure foundation stone in H im . 1. The Foundation—Jesu s C hrist. There is only definite assurance in P au l’s w ord concerning the foun dation. It is perfectly c lear to him th a t there can be no C hristian faith w ithout Jesu s C hrist. Such a state m ent sounds a lm o st' childish. One m ight w ell' assum e th a t no intelli gent person would claim to be one of God’s builders, and reject his foundation stone. B ut, alas, m any a re they who claim to be C hristians, who profess to be raising a structure of C hristian life and testim ony, but .who have set aside the only possible foundation on w hich to build. 2. The M aster B uilder—and his builders. P au l w as a pioneer. H e declares his am bition and calling to be “ to preach the gospel not w here C hrist w as nam ed, lest I should build on another m an ’s foundation” (R om . 10:25). Such a privilege does not com e to all m en, but le t those who thus serve Ieam of this “w ise m as te r builder” th a t they m ay lay only one foundation—Jesu s C hrist. “ L et every m an take heed how he buildeth thereupon.” It is a serious m a tte r to serve the L ord a s a build er, for it is possible to go badly astray a t this point a s weU as in laying the foundation. 3. The m aterials—good and bad. W hether we apply P au l’s w ords to the building of our personal spiritual life o r to the w ork we do in the church they a re equally serious and urgent. “ The day”—w hen C hrist re turns, and w e shall stand before him to give account of the deeds done in the' flesh—w ill rev eal by flam ing fire w hether we have been faithful, tru e and diligent in preach ing God’s W ord, in pray er, in sac rificial service for C hrist, or have sought to introduce into our lives and into the churches w e serve the “ wood, hay, and stubble” of unspir itual schem es, neglect of God’s W ord, prayerlessness. Saved? Yes, but entering into God’s presence as a m an who has escaped from his burning house with nothing but his life. H . Sow ers of the Seed (G al. 6 :6- 10). The figure changes. N o longer are w e builders—but ra th e r sow ers of seed. W ould th a t it w ere all good seed th at w ere sown—h u t w e see the sowing to the flesh a s w ell as to the Spirit. This is tru e , \ I. In our own lives. The inexora ble law of sowing and reaping p re vails in the m oral realm a s truly as it does in the physical. M en who would never expect w heat to grow w here they have planted thistles, seem to expect th a t they m ay sow in th eir own lives th e seeds of selfish indulgence, of careless neglect of the things of God, and still som ehow reap the fru it of good ch aracter and noble living. 2. In the lives of others. W e m ay be tem pted to take attractiv e by paths and short-cuts to w in the in te re st and allegiance of m en to our selves and the church, b u t they will prove to bring but corruption and destruction. Spiritual seed will al w ays produce spiritual life. 3. W aiting for the harvest. H ar vest m ust be patiently aw aited.

How many are cussing Roosevelt for letting the same thing happen. Frank Hancock has as much chance of being nominated for the United States Senate against Bob Reynolds as F. M. Simmons has of being nominated for president in 1940 ______________ We've trusted you for quite 3- while, and did it with a smile, so just return the compliment and trust us for awhile. This little poem is dedicated to all our sub scribers who have let their subscrip tious expire. Attorney General Seawell has notified Sberiif Smoot that it is a gainst the state laws to operate the new predictable slot machines. Seems like it is as hard to control slot machines as it is to put the bootlegger out of business. President Roosevelt has said on more than one occasion that no one should starve while he was presi dent. Well, if we can believe the democratic dailies in North Caro lina, a man did actually, starve to death in Charlotte only a few days ago. Just one more broken pro mise. Red Cross Roll Call. Dr. W. M.

CHAPTER XI—Continued - I g - "Don’t let old inferiority complex get you, Sammy,” Brooke warned. uLucette and I know that this play of yours will be box-office, that it will set your name in lights on Broadway. Can’t you just see Mother flying across the ocean—if necessary—for the premiere? We’ll all have ravishing costumes and—” Memory side-tracked her voice. She and Lucette couldn’t go to New Tork for the opening. Suppose she didn’t get the Palm Beach,job? She would have no money. She shook herself mentally. “What an emotional gal you are, Brooke. You’ve gone white with ex citement over what may never hap pen. ’Tisn’t likely a break like that will come my way,” Sam prophe sied gloomily. Brooke swallowed the lump in her throat. Sam mustn’t suspect why she had gone white. She said in a voice drenched with mystery: “Listen, you two, I’m getting fed- up with country life. The day after the play we’ll open the apartment.” “That’ll make a big hit with me, but first, unless we want to be late for Trent’s party, folks, we’d bet ter start with a hey-nonny-nonny for the big city.” Sam added, “You two certainly have the million-dollar look, girls, if you are my sisters.” CHAPTER XH Mark Trent glanced at Brooke Beybum seated at his right in the dint Mirror room of the recently opened Supper dub. Light from the illuminated table-top brought out the copper glints in her air, the glow in her radiant eyes, and laid a pinkish sheen over the gleaming silver of her frock. Why wasn’t she wearing his orchids? Doubtless the answer to' that was that she pre ferred gardenias. Had Field sent them? What chance had he, a man whose life had been twisted and tangled by a tragic marriage, against gay, debonair Jerry Field? None, he answered promptly,, and as promptly told himself that Brooke must love him. That mar riage was years behind him. Why allow the memory of it to creep back tonight when for the first time in days his mind had been free of the haunting vision of Lola as he had seen her last? He forced bis thoughts from the past to observe his guests. The rhinestone straps of Daphne Field’s blossom-pink satin frock scintillat ed with rainbow sparks with eveiy movement of her body. Lucette wab adorable in a SuBy white and gold thing which accentuated her rich brunette coloring. Sam was observ ing the crowd through narrowed eyes; Jerry Field was talking in a low voice to Lucette. Jed Stewart was on the other side of Brooke., The orchestra glided into a rhyth mic invitation. The diners sprang to their feet. Old men slipped an arm about women who snuggled. Young men slipped an arm about women who laughed; tough men planted well-groomed hands on the enameled backs of women who stumbled. Onecouplekissedlinger- ingly as they passed. Lover’s eyes sought lover’s eyes; white hands clung; hushed voices questioned. Jerry Field and Lucette left the table. Sam groaned and held out his hand to Daphne. “Come on, let’s get it over. I suppose you’d like to step?” “Of course I would, martyr!” She slipped a white arm about his neck. “Nothing unsteady about her to night,” Mark thought. He pushed into tiie background the memory of the night he had had to steady her to the car. He had liked her, she had been amusing, but he had not invited her Oiit after that. She had taken little winetonight, Lucette had barely touched hers, Brooke had re fused it. Now her .eyes were fol lowing her brother.' Was she wor ried about Daphne’s influence on Sam?' He watched her, watched the throbbing pulse in her throat which made him think of the beat of tiny wings against bars. As if she felt his intense concentration bn her, Brooke looked at him with questioning eyes. Mark smiled in response.“Did you know that I was think ing of you? I was hoping-that you were not worrying about Sam and Daphne. If you are, don’t.” “Thanks, I’m not. If that were all I had on my mind, my heart would be so light that it would be bumping against .the ceiling like a runaway balloon.” ■ “What is troubling you? Can’t I help?”“No, thanks. No!” “That was emphatic, almost as if you were afraid of me. Care to dance?” Btoeke motioned toward the eoo- . m 1 1 1 e orincj pies packed in so dose they could barely move. “You don’t call that dancing, do you? But uo dance yourself. You must know every attractive girl here. You have risen to bow at two minute intervals ever since we arrived at this table. I’m just being noble, setting you free to dance with someone else.”“Thanks for the consideration, but the only girl with whom I care to dance is sitting at this table. You wouldn’t encourage a host to leave his guest of honor, would you?” He glanced at the gardenias on her shoulder.“Don’t you. care for orchids? I should have sent violets. I know you like them. You wore them the first time we met; no, it was the second time.” “The orchids were beautiful.” Brooke traced a pattern on the il luminated table-top. “Sometime Tll tell you why I didn’t wear them to night.” “Are you engaged to Field?” She shrugged lovely shoulders and glanced up provocatively. “You fairly gnashed that ques tion. You are miscast in ‘Islands Arise’; Sam ought to write some thing for you in which you could play an ogre. You’ve just the voice for it.” “AU right. Fm an ogre. Mean while, ,how about answering that question?” “I said that sometime I would teU you why I didn’t wear the orch ids; that doesn’t mean tonight; it “It’s Zero Hour, Brooke, means after the play and your par ty. However, had I been a perfect lady, I would have said, ‘Thank you billions’ for the flowers long be fore this. Curious how accustomed we have become to thinking in bit Uons, isn’t it?” “I don’t want your thanks, I want — ” Mark disciplined his stormy voice. “Remember that aft ernoon in Jed’s office?” “The afternoon you refused to marry me?” “Haven’t you forgotten that?” “There are some things one doesn’t forget”“Then here is something to put beside it in your memory book. WUl you marry me, Brooke?” She looked up with startled eyes, then laughed. “That proposal—if it is a propos al?” “It is.” “Has aU the fire and ardor of a silent poUceman.” “Shall I give a demonstration of fire and ardor?” “No! Of course not! Don’t look at me as if you were trying to see the wheels of my mind go round.” “I hadn’t gone much deeper than your eyes. Have you. never been told that you have beautiful eyes? You haven’t answered my question. WUl you marry me?” The orchestra was playing a soft swaying accompaniment to a bari tone voice singing before the micro-’ phone: “I only love one and that one Is you, And that one is you.” There was a burst of applause from the dancers. Mark reminded:: “You haven’t answered my ques tion, Brooke.” Her eyes were brilliant with an ger as they met his. “I answered it the second time' you refused to marry me. Perhaps you have forgotten that. I haven’t.” Mark .crushed back a mad -im pulse to kiss her. contemptuous lips until she went limp in his arms. Beprcaaon sent the dark color to his face. “No, I haven’t forgotten that you said that you wouldn’t marry me if I were the only man in the world, that divorced men left you cold.” She laid h.er hand on his sleeve. “I was sorry the moment I said that. ReaUy I was. Please forget it.” The maitre d’hotel stopped at the table. He glistened from the top of his sleek black head to his patent leather shoes. He looked ItaUan with a streak of Turk; he spoke American with a French accent. “Good evening, Mr. Trent. Glad to see you here, sir.” “How are you, Franchot? This crowd looks like prosperity back to stay.” “Business has been good ever since we opened. We had so many reservations for this evening we had to reinforce the staff of waiters and bus-boys. I don’t like strange help in a jam like this, but what else could we do?” The Ughts in the room dimmed. The dancers returned to their ta bles. The siiiger in her guttering sequins stepped to the stage. The orchestra leader nestled his violin under his chin, laid his fingers on the strings and drew his bow with a flourishing sweep. The spotiight traveled about the room, whitening faces, setting rhinestones on a shoulder-strap agleam, brightening already too bright eyes, striking rainbow fire from the jewels on the breast of a grande dame. It lin gered at a table. Brooke gripped Mark’s arm. She leaned close, whispered: “Quick! Where the Ught is! The waiter! He’s the man who ran through my room!” Behind the scenes in the Club House theater, Brooke, as property woman, checked her Ust for the last time. Every article which the char acters would need to take to the stage was present and accounted for. Almost time for the curtain. If only her heart wouldn’t pound so. It shook her body. But hadn’t her body shaken with excitement whenever she had seen Sam act? He was coming. He was almost as white as the shirt-front of his eve ning clothes, his eyes were like flames as he stopped beside her. “Just had a cable from Mother wishing me luck. It’s zero hour, Brooke.- Locate the producer and manager out front. Watch ’em. If they go out after the first act and don’t come back, the play’s washed up; if they sit through the second, it’s got a chance; if they come back for the third, boy!” He turned to Jerry Field who was like a stran ger in his make-up. “Go on to that stage, Jerry, and whang the baU!” Field nodded to Brooke before he disappeared into the wings. Should she wish Sam luck, his sister won dered? Better not. The stage was cleared. Lucette, Daphne and Jerry Field went on and took their places. Sam was in the wings! Jed was at the switch board! The curtain man was wait ing for his signal! Sam raised his hand. The house dimmed. He wig wagged with two fingers. Jed brought up his lights. The orchestra stopped playing. Another motion of Sam’s hand and the curtain rose slowly. Brooke’s heart parked in her throat, running on high. Lucette waited for the greeting of applause to quiet before, without a trace of nervousness, she spoke her first line. Sam nodded approval, frowned as Daphne answered shak ily. Brooke couldn’t see the stage, blit she could hear the voices. Jed Stewart was red and perspiring tra der the responsibility of getting the actors on and- off. Once as he passed her he whispered: “Get a peek at Mrs. Gregory out front, third row, center. She’s blaz ing with jools.” “Has the New York producer come?” He nodded. “Second row, center. Sleek blond fella, with* a grand mar- celle.” He caught Sam’s eyes glar ing at them and disappeared. Every sentence moved the play forward, unfalteringly. Jerry Field had been on and off before Mark Trent, in his blue lounge coat, ap peared to make. his. first entrance. As he approached the wings, his eyes, smiling, disconcertingly in tent, met and held Brooke’s and set'the blood tingling in her cheeks. The rehearsal last night had'been so hectic he had had time only to tell her that Jed Stewart had left the Supper club to report about the waiter to Inspector Harrison. In the morning paper she had seen a statement that the bandit in the Hunt filling station case was being trailed to Canada." Of course she hoped that he would be caught, but it was a relief to know that he was far away from what newspapers would call the scene of his crime. She could hear Mark Trent’s voice, faintly ironic. It was her cue to start the phonograph which was to produce a song as if sung in the street below. “ ‘In the gloaming, oh my darling, Think not bitterly of me.’ ” The sweetness and fervor of the man’s voice brought a terrifying ache to Brooke’s throat, a burning beneath her eyelids, as with the small machine in her hands she walked away to give the effect of music fading in .the distance., " ‘It was .best to leave' you thus; ■, dear; .' '. '. Best for you and best for me.’ " The last word thinned into silence. Mark Trait’s cue: ' “That song is old stuff, but sure fire. Believe it, Madge?"

Now working with Katherine Hep burn in “Bringing Up Baby,” he is all set to rush from that to “Love on Parole,” with Miriam Hopkins, after which he will support Ruby Keeler in her first R. K. O. picture. Columbia pictures hold a contract with him also, and will have sev eral stories ready for him just as soon as he finishes his stint on the. R.K.O. lot. And somehow or other, Cary expects to find time to play one of the leads in Sam Goldwyris pro duction of the ever- popular romance, “Graustark." If you heard him on the air recently with Irene Dunne, giving ex cerpts from “The Awfol Truth,” which theaters will be showing soon, you don’t need to be told that it is a thoroughly delightful picture. —*— Practically all of the motion-pic- ture companies have decided that comics in sets of three bring sore success. R.K.O. has the Marx broth ers now, Twentieth Century-Fox have the Ritz brothers with their hilarious antics, and Paramount has signed up the Yacht Club boys to appear in three more pictures for them. —■k— Hollywood producers wish that plump girls Were fashionable. In sistence on streamlined figures causes them no end of worry. Many of the stars noted for their beauty and chic have to live on strict diets in order to stay slim, and when they are working on a strenuous sched ule they get so run down that they have no resistance to colds. Re cently on the ailing list were Carole Lombard, Alice Faye, Joan Craw ford, Virginia Bruce, Simone Simon, and Zorina, the lovely Russian danc er who is soon to make her debut in Goldwyn pictures. —-K- Bing Crosby, who always insists that he doesn’t know anything about music, or about anything, in fact, but race horses, received an hono rary degree from Gonzaga college fa Spokane, Wash. He was a stu dent there before he joined Paul Whiteman’s rhythm boys and got launched on a radio career. Inci dentally, Bing gets so much fun out of Ms radio appearances that he would like to be on the air more than once a week. Radio and pictiire stars have their favorite performers, just like the rest of us. Rudy Vallee insists on having Jack Oakie in the picture he will make for Warner Brotiiers soon. He says Oakie makes any picture a success. Jack Benny would like to have Abe Lyman on his radio pro gram permanently—thinks he adds a lot of laughs. —K— Beverly Davis, the four-year-old daughter of Joan Davis, that mad cap dancer who risks breaking her heck in the Ritz Brothers pictures, gives imitations of her mama when she goes to parties. At a kiddies party she was not going over so well, because instead of laughing at her falls, the youngsters howled in fright, but everything turned out all right anyway. Along came a Twen tieth Century-Fox official to call for his youngsters, and he hired little Beverly to play a part. - K - Closest friends of Douglas Fair banks, Jr., thought that his great success as an actor in “The Prisoner of Zenda” had cured him of all ambitions to be a producer in England. Douglas says they are wrong. As soon as he fin ishes playing oppo site Ginger Rogers in “Having a Won derful Time,” he will be off to London again to be the big boss of a production company. In the fu ture he will spend six months of each year in Hollywood working as an actor, the other six in London producing pictures. ODDS AND ENDS—One of the most important instruments In B. A.

Types of aid Included feed, seed, livestock, farm tools and machinery and other items essential to agricultural productiv ity. More than $599,000 was ex pended by the organization to meet these requirements. In addition to occupational as sistance, rural families hard hit by the flood waters were rescued, clothed, fed and sheltered by the Red Cross. Where it was necessary the Red Cross repaired and re built out-buildings, barns and other structures. Medical and nursing care were provided and homes re furnished. Red Cross, agricultural rehabilita tion benefited nearly three times as many families as received all other types of Red Cross occupational re habilitation combined. . Labor’s advocacy of the Red Cross program is attested by recent state ments from William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor and John L Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America. ' -1Red Cross aims and purposes are highly commendable and deserving of the support of all classes of people,1 said Mr. Green. ’’The activities and service of the American Red Cross satisfy a great need of the people, and I strongly urge that it receive the unqualified suppoi of all during its annual RoH CaU fc members,” Mr. Lewis said. - j-( Eagles Are Protected Instead of being hunted, eagles are protected in some parts of the world.

Union Republican. Within the last 50 years the na tion has bad only three Cemocratic Presidents—Cleveland, Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Cleveland was one of the most unapproach able of men and seldom it was that the most influential members ot his own'party could get in speaking distance of him. Wilson was almost as difficult to see as Cleveland and during the las-t six months of his administration his new wife locked the. door against all comers. Kven Toe Tumulty his faithful secretary was not al lowed to see him. And now comes Franklin - D. Roosevelt and wraps the. robes of state about him and tells the world that if they want to see him and talk with him they must see the Crown Price, bis son Jimmy. Some months ago Franklin D , brought Jimmy to the White House and installed him as one of his numerous secretaries at a salary of $10,000 a year, the same salary that a Senator and. Representative receives but this was not big en ough for the Crown Prince and be is now advanced another notch right up next to the President. He has been named White House co ordinator and before any one can see the President they must see Jimmy. Thewbolethinginanut shell is that the elder Roosevelt is seeking to perpetuate his family , in power In the United States and un less the voters wake up and stop it there will be a Roosevelt President for many years to come. The Greensboro News says: “Young Roosevelt has from the outset of his father’s imcumbency been bit by the political bug and is generally credited by the commen tators with having political ambi tions in bis own. right. Not for a moment would the Daily News say aught ageinsl dose, intimate rela tions between father and son or that qualitv of ambition which is commendable on any young man’s part. We are concerned here, how ever, with considering public ser vice, rather than strictly family, relationships a n d consequences which may be involved. ‘ Jimmy’s total political experi ence, starting when he waved ban* nets and led parades for F. D ., R., covers considerably less than SC: dec ade. His first try of any import, ance came with bis entry into tte Massachusetts arena where be ' was instructed with- the handling of fed eral patronage . Several embarrass ing mistakes occurred along the Bay state route, and after a com-< paratively brief interval and at the hehest of older party heads in : that immediate sector he was brought to Washington for ,'.closer supervision by bis father and such training'as be could receive, only at the White House and under such a master. •‘Now be is in a key,: executive position. Abalf houra week .be will give to the bead of each of the government’s including such im portant bodies as the federal reserve board,, power commission, civilian conservation corps, civil service commission, farm security commis sion, agricultural adjustment ad ministration,, interstate commerce commission national laborrelations board, federal housing administra don, securities commission, recla mation bureau and maritime' com mission. These, are all highlyim - portant agencies', many of them quad-judicial and supposed to be free ot political influence and moti vation. If Jimmy conceives their problems'to be subordinate, be will handle them: Whether or not they reach tbe President is left toi$i& mature judgment.

Ofcourse, if ^American democ racy, operating through the rule of clamorous majorities. nishes to buildup a 'ruling.' family, that; quite obviously, is thati” Legislator To Prison. The Supreme Court the past week found not no error in the trial of Rev. R. E. /Sentslle. of Burnswick county, on charges of operating an automobile while under the influence of whisky, and as a tesult of the ruling, Seutelle must pay a fine of $225 , serve 30 days in jail and forfeit bis driving license for one year. Sentelle was convicted of the charge at the Jnly term of Montgomery superior court. Sent?lle denied taking a drink, and his wife, unable to at tend court, made an affidavit that her husband was not drinking The only hope now for Sentelle to escape punishment is for the High CouitofAnnulment ft) overthrow both the superior ' and Supreme courts which of course it can do with impunity as it has done in the past. Sentelle is a native of Haywood county, the son of a Baptist minist er and is himself an ordained Bap- tis preacher.

La Guar- ] dia, candidate of the fusionists, the Re publicans and the young American La bor party. LaGuar- dia, the first “re- form” mayor ever T. E. Dewey re-elected In New York, piled up a majority of 454,425. The RepubUcans hailed the result as a great victory for their party, and it was. But it also put the La bor party in the position of holding the balance of power in future elec tions in the metropolis.Second in interest only to the mayoralty vote was the fact that Thomas E. Dewey, the young man who smashed organized crime and the rackets in New York, was elect ed district attorney, defeating Har old W. Hastings, the Tammany nom inee. Dewey, who is only thirty-five years old, promises reform in the methods of the office,'and his record gives assurance these will be car ried out.The Republicans regained control of the New York state assembly and of many upstate cities. C.I.O. Loses in Detroit 'T'HE first important venture of A the C. L O.-in politics turned out disastrously for the Lewis organiza tion. Patrick H. O’Brien, its may oralty candidate, declared on the stimip that "labor must seize the xeins of government in Detroit and every other American city.” Where upon the Detroit electors arose in their wrath and swept O’Brien and the C. I. 0. out of the picture. Rich ard W. Reading, conservative can- - didate backed by the A. F. of L., won the office by a majority of 106,- 907 votes. 1 In addition, all the five C. I. 0. backed candidates for the common council were decisively whipped. In New Jersey Senator A. Harry Moore, Democrat, was elected gov ernor over Lester H. Clee, Republi can, but only by virtue of a big majority in Hudson county. Moore has held the office twice before. It was the first time in the state’s history that a governor has won a third term. The state constitution pro hibits a consecutive re-election but Moore was elected in 1925 and again in. 1931, each time for a three-year term. James M. Curley, who has been three times mayor of Boston and once governor of Massachusetts, tried again for the mayoralty, but was defeated by Maurice J. Tobin, like Curley a Democrat. Philadelphia went Democratic, as did Pittsburgh, which re-elected Mayor Cornelius Scully. Borah Talks Plainly W HILE Republican national committeemen were gathering in Chicago for an important meet ing, Senator Borah of Idaho jumped into print with a vigorous denuncia tion of the plan, fa- • vored by , Hoover . and Chainnan Ham ilton, to hold a mid term Republican convention n e x t spring, for the form ulation of party pol icies. “We have heard a great deal about usurpation' and dic tatorship in recent Borah. “There could be no great er exhibition of usurpation or dic tatorship in politics than for a few accredited .men undertaking to fix the principles and policies for 17 minion voters without ever having consulted the voters or received their indorsement in any way.

Dnehess of Windsor veloped by friendship, fair play, and recriprocal confidence. If Japan and China are to co-operate it must be as friends and not as enemies. The problems underlying Chinese-Japa- nese relations must be solved on a basis that is fair to each and ac ceptable to both.” Eden for England and Ddbos for France seconded these sentiments. The Italian representatives made it clear Italy would not stand for any coercive measures against Japan. China was represented by Dr. Wellington Koo who said: “We de sire peace, but we know that we can not obtain it in the presence of Japanese aggression. So long as ag- gression.persists we are determined to continue our resistance. It is not peace at any price that will render justice to China or to the credit. of civilization.” A committee was named to send an appeal to Japan to open peace negotiations with China, and Ger many was asked to reconsider her refusal to take part in'the confer ence. Labor Hits Duke's Tour R ESOLUTIONS denouncing (he American tour of the duke and duchess of Windsor as a “slumming trip professing to study labor” were adopted by the-Bal timore Federation of Labor, and ap proved by President Green of the A. F. of L. They attacked Charles Bedeaux, the duke’s friend, as s p o n s o r of the '’stretch - out sys tem.” OfiBcials of the Committee for In dustrial Organiza tion, while refusing to be quoted, said the attitude of their organization on the Bedeaux system was “well known.” Official and social Washington, which had been in doubt as to what to do about the distinguished visi tors, was relieved when Sir Ronald Lindsay, British ambassador, an nounced he would give a state din ner for the royal couple, as he termed them, the day after their arrival. Immediately thereafter it was made known that Preadient Roosevelt would entertain the duke and duchess at luncheon in the White House. The duke’s talk on arrival was to be broadcast over all major networks, but the British Broadcasting company announced it would not pick up iVinndSor1S remarks for re broadcasting in England.' Bedeaux said the duke while in the United States would observe these sixteen heavy industries: Heavy machinery, light machin ery, heavy chemical work, oil refin ing, textiles, tobacco, steel, rubber, either coal, or metallic ore. mining, automobile manufacturing, prepared foods, meat packing, logging, timber sorting plus lumber milling, pulp and paper production and vegetable and fruit packing.

InteipretedNatEbnal Topics . by WilUstn B rodart Kmomfl Prw Bnlldlng Washington.—The old mother hen, congress, has settled down, pre pared to hatch IVhot WHl something from It H atch? the nest of crop control eggs. At this stage of the proceeding, no one can make a guess as to the brood that congress will produce any bet ter than a farmer’s wife can tell what will be hatched by a real hen In her chicken house. About all that can be said for sure is that President Roosevelt called congress into special session to enact crop control legislation and, therefore, there is likely to be crop «ontrol legislation of some kind. It may not be hatched in the special session; the chances are that the many differences of opinion and the many demands cannot be reconciled in the six weeks which the special session, may occupy before the regular session of congress con venes in January. In addition to the lack of time in which to- maturely examine crop control questions, a rivalry has de veloped between the house and the senate over the honor of drafting and putting through the law which will tell the farmers what they can and what they cannot do as farm ers. Let me say just here that such a rivalry may work to the benefit of agriculture because it is bound to mean a compromise between the house and senate on the legislation that finally is enacted. In other words, extremists, for and against any proposal, will have to yield and this may possibly result in some workable program for crop control. The main question before con gress is Oie type of crop control law to be enacted. There are two kinds. Control may be compulsory or it may be voluntary. Most of the powers that be in the Depart ment of Agriculturie seem to favor the compulsory kind—a law that will tell the farmers they can or cannot do certain things and if they violate the decree, they can be punished. Many groups of farm ers, however do not want that sort of thing. In consequence we find in congress now proponents of both the compulsory and the vol untary programs and each side appears to be determined in its posi tion.We have seen both types used. Po tato growers will remember how the potato control law laid down the rule that a quota of production should be imposed upon every farm er and that he must pay 45 cents per bushel above the value of his potatoes for every bushel produced above his quota. These growers will remember also the agricultural adjustment administration require ment that all potatoes sold must be packaged in a certain way that was prescribed for the grower by the AAA. In this connection it will be recalled how there was a penalty in addition for those who failed to prop erly package the potatoes they sold. Beyond these requirements, there was also a penalty prescribed to be invoked against any person who did not properly package his pota toes and place a government stamp thereon. Besides all this, there was an “in former” section in the potato con trol law. It provided something of a bounty for any person who re layed to the authorities any infor mation he had respecting failure of any farmer to comply with the law and the regulations issued there under. It was reminiscent, of pro hibition days when informers, were paid to squeal on bootleggers. - * • * - The compulsory cotton control law was less stringent but it had penalties attached Cotton so that any cotton Control farmer who failed to comply with the regulations had to pay a tax on cotton produced over and above his allotment. This tax was so high— SO per cent of the value—that it amounted to a fine as punishment. The other kind of cotton control law, the voluntary plan, had no penalty provisions. This control was ex ercised by issue of subsidies or pay ments to farmers for raising various crops provided they ' limited the amount to the dictation of the AAA. Thus, under the: voluntary control, the farmer could take the govern ment’s money and limit his crop to what the AAA said was his quota and thus be paid for compliance. Or, he could refuse the govern ment’s subsidy and raise what he pleased. Now, in addition to these proposi tions, Secretary Wallace of the De partment of Agriculture, is promot ing what he call3 his “ever nor mal granary” plan. Thisistoserve as supplemental to the crop control on the production side. The secre tary has an idea-that the federal gov- eriiment can take the surplus; of good years off .of the.hands of farm ers and-hold: them through the lean years when poor crops have failed to produce-the amount required f for American home consumption. -The secretary's “ever normal granary” plan is a red hot poker and there will be ,plenty of sparks flying off of the handle as wdl as the hot end when this thing is de bated in congress. Opponwits of the secretary’s scheme contend that tnis program is straight out regimenta tion and that it,goes as far inthis effect as., anything done by either the Fascist Mussolini or the Com munist Stalin. It takes no stretch of the imagination,' therefore, to see what is just ahead in the matter of a controversy for crop legislation for the reason that each of the pro grams that has been thus far ad vanced contains political dynamite.* * « Chairman Jones of the house agri cultural committee began work on drafts of bills for Jones crop control long DraftM BOU befOTe the sessionconvened. Several weeks prior to the opening day of the special session, Mr. Jones ap pointed six sub-committees; each was charged with drafting legis lation applicable to a specific com modity. In doing this, Mr. Jones threw the door wide open., He in cluded six farm crops*to share the alleged benefits of crop control leg islation, including the "ever nor mal granary” surplus control pro gram. The sub-committees were di rected to work out legislation cov ering cotton, wheat, com, tobacco, rice and dairy products. Inclusion of rice and dairy products came as a surprise. Heretofore, there had been little talk about including rice and none about dairy products. The information that filters into Wash ington is that a majority of the dairy people have no particular hankering for government dictation in their business. Chairman Smith of the senate agricultural committee like wise has been busy. Throughout the summer he has been attempting to get a line on farmer sentiment by a number of hearings in various parts of the . country. From all indica tions, Chairman Smith, who comes from South Carolina and is a farm er in his own right, is not enthusias tic about too much government dic tation in the field of agriculture. Over on the house side of the Capi tol, Secretary Wallace has many fol lowers. .Obviously, he will co-op erate with them very closely. In deed, some of the house members who do not like Mr. Wallace or'his “ever normal granary” scheme are referring to the Wallace supporters in the house as “Henry Wallace’s boys.” That indicates better than anything I can say how. deep-seat ed the feelings are. To add to the complexity of the job facing congress, President Roosevelt has said definitely that if there are subsidies paid to farm ers in connection with crop control legislation, that legislation - must carry additional taxes-to take care of the bounty payments authorized. Simmered down, therefore, what Mr. Roosevelt has said is that if the farmers want that kind of crop control legislation,’ they and all con sumers must pay for it with add ed taxes. I have heard general commenda tion of the President’s position. It surely represents a straightforward policy by the Chief Executive in this regard. He has told the country now that he is willing to support agricultural subsidies through con- trol of the crops if the whole country which has to pay the bill is willing to bear the extra taxes that are required.• » * Having presented the picture as I see it, it seems ,almost unneces- siry to add thatTwo Btg there' will be two Lobhiet enormous, lobbies bearing down on congress in the special session as well as probably in the regular ses sion that convenes in January. I think I foresee now how Secretary Wallace and those who believe with him are going to operate both with in and without the administration. That is to say, there will be adminis tration pressure and when anyone says that there is administration pressure, they are saying nothing more or less than that the adminis tration is lobbying. It has-always been that way and it is no excep tion that the Roosevelt administration does the same sort of thing. The other lobby will embrace a considerable representation of farm er sentiment that is opposed to Washington dictation and which feels that additional taxes will have to be absorbed in part at least by agriculture. This happened inthe case of a processing tax wliich was thrown out as unconstitutional. . It will happen in every case for the reason that no one is going to ab sorb taxes when they can be passed on. When they are passed on to the farmers, that is the end because the farmer has no place to send them. Theconsumerisinthesamefix. In addition to this, farm senti ment, the lobby in opposition to the Wallace program likdy will , find certain phases of; other industry aligned with it. It will in all prob ability find a certain share or segment of consumer opposition be cause the consumers will have tr pay In higher prices. C W estern N c w v a p tr U a te a, THree Kingsin a Year .

Minnesotans Boast of Twin Cities and Mesabi Iron Mnes pxelSJSttuStDaC.3?fiuPS^?vS,e.lety, M in n e a p o lis and st. Paul, grown virtually into one city, provide the chief mart of Minnesota, St. Paul for animal products, Min neapolis for grain. St. Paulalso is a major railway terminus. Dominated by descendants of the early German and Irish set tlers, it is fameu today for such various things as its meat pack ing and beer, its state fair and its printing business (especially legal books). Minneapolis is dominated by its Scandinavians—the jokes do not err. It_is said that if the cry comes “Paging Mr. Johnson!” in a Minne apolis theater, half the audience will rise. The city has become one of the world’s important grain mar kets; it Is also famed for its lakes— several large ones within the city limits—its picturesque mills which make the artist reach for his brushes in a happy daze, its knit underwear, its university, and its renowned orchestra. Linseed oil, base of paints and inks, is a very important Minneapolis product; the oil is pressed from the flaxseed of the Red River valley, and by-products are returned to the farmer as valuable feed. Thus these twin municipalities have a wide variety of things to boast of, including a population of almost a million people. The rivalry of the two members of this one body is proverbial. St. Paul taunts Minneapolis with being a "nine o’clock town,” for it is true that that city’s Lutheran views dic tate a stricter decorum than the more worldly-wise city bothers to maintain. Minneapolis retaliates thus: “Yes, we’re thinking of incor porating both cities in one, to be called ‘Minnehaha,’ ‘Minnie’ for Minneapolis and *ha ha’ for St. Paul.”The good-humored sparring in volved keeps moss from growing be tween the toes of either. Iron Deposits of the Mesabi. Toward the end of the Nineteenth century the Mesabi iron deposits, of which Daniel Webster and Lord Ashburton had been ignorant when fix ing the boundary, at last were dis covered. The discoverers were a family Of seven brothers named Merritt. Tim ber cruisers and woodsmen of the most expert sort, they were also amateur prospectors. With a faith almost unreasoning they explored the mosquito-infested swamps and forests of the hill country behind Du luth. This wild-goose chase was re warded with a goose capable of lay ing truly golden eggs: their dip- compass charts located the first of those vast pools of soft ore which, soon exploited, built the' ships, bridges, railroads, machinery, and skyscrapers that a lustily expand ing nation hungered for. With incredible energy these same brothers surveyed the railroad to carry the ore to port, and then, brushing aside the mining engineers who were thumbing their whiskers and trying to think how to sink the customary shafts, they turned a primitive form of steam shovel loose in that flaky red earth. The Mesabi mines saw the de velopment of this new contraction, the steam shovel. In the process a series of “the biggest holes, on earth” were dug, all the way from Coleraine to Biwabik, with the big gest of all at Hibbing. Duluth, Minnesota’s third city, was not slow to respond to the stim ulus the ore traffic provided; she grew rich and great. Squeezed be tween a perfect harbor and a bar rier of hill that hangs a natural rock garden above the very chim neys of the skyscrapers, Duluth is one of the most oddly placed of Tit les. But the placing was inevitable. Here is the natural terminus of Great Lakes'traffic, the keypoint in its connection with the huge area of the plains beyond.: DuluthVBig Steel Mills. Snce it is Is easy to bring coal to Dulutb as to take ore to Pennsyl vania for smelting, steel mills have sprung up near the city, supplying the needs of a western market. These form a picturesque sight of the St.. Louis river estuary, that maze of islands, some green as sal ads, others black with industry, that wind inland from the harbor.Spidery coal hoists and draw bridges, grain elevators as massive and stately as Old World cathedrals, the vast hulks of ore docks make a picture of unresting enterprise along those calm waters. The harbor itself is all that a har bor should be, ample, safe, protect* ed from the lake by a bar so nar row that a .small boy with a sling shot could put a pebble across it. Labor for the mines was recruited from south Europe. The range towns are peopled by Italians, and by Yu goslavs and other Balkan folk. They, form a kind of racial island in' Minnesota’s Teutonic sea, an incon gruity in a land so uncompromis ingly northern. But with them came a people who are eminently at home, the Finns. , Nowhere have Finns settled in such numbers as in Minnesota’s Ar rowhead country. It is like their own Finland, rocky, wintry, laced with countless lakes; they know without any textbook guidance how to be happy and prosperous in it. Wiey dry their hay on racks of polbs, and saw the poplar, birch, and pinewood that their Finn stoves devour—metal cylinders reaching to the ceiling—with Finn saws, sinuous blades of steel strung across rigid metal bows. At log-cabin building they are the master craftsmen. And as athletes they are famous; such names as Reino Kylmala or Arvo Wopjo on a hockey team are just so many danger signals. Finns Have Their Baths. The skis they carve from birch- wood painstakingly seasoned over the cookstove are a treat to the eye—exquisitely long, narrow, and arched, like the eyebrows of some distractingly pretty Hollywood star. In the same classic tradition are their Finnish baths, when first the men, then the women, gather in log bathhouses and swap the week’s news in.high good humor. A toi^ rential sweat, a luxurious soaping and rinsing down, a breath-taking cooling process outdoors in the snow or the frigid water of lake or riv er—this is the ritual of the famed Finnish bath. It limbers up the joints wonderfully, and sends a man home whistling tunes as loudly as a locomotive, for he feels good. The Mesabi iron range is merely the most spectacular mineral re source of the state. The Vermilion iron range supplies high-grade Bes semer ore, steadily in demand; the Cuyima range’s vast resource.' of heavily overlain msmganese- ores has not yet been worked to the same extent. There are also important non- metallic minerals, for instance, the pottery dayS and filter sands of Red Wing. Plenty of Bunding-Stone. < The building stones of Minnesota1 serve as a basis for an important industry. They are widely distributed in location and character: the jasper of the Coteau des Prairies, Kettle River’s sandstone, the widely used pink-dappled Kasota and Man kato .stone, the richly patterned gneiss of Morton used from coast to coast in cemetery memorials, and the granites of St. Cloud, which ri vals Barre, Vt., as a producer of granite. The mechanical advance in these stone-working industries has been revolutionary in- the last fifteen years. A visitor at some such van guard establishment as the, plant at Cold Spring, in the St; Cloud district, will see Minnesota’s-stubborn, wa ter-resistant granite sawed into slabs perhaps a mere inch-and-a-half in thickness, these slabs brilliantly pol ished, then recut by carborundum blades whirling at such speed that they move in a path of fire despite the water jets that play upon them. The pipestone quarry, famed in legend, near Pipestone,' is unique. It can be worked only by the'Indians. In one of the legends the soft red stone of that quarry is the flesh of the whble Indiaii "people anciently, drowned in the flood. They Jiad' fledito' the Coteaud^Pra^feias' the^waters rose, but *er& tlfere drowned, all except, one girl; Car ried off by. the soaring War Eagle, she became his bride in the skies, and. so bore children who repopu- lated the world. - IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY ICHOOL L*esson B y R E V .

Thanksgiving day has just afford ed each one of us a special oppor tunity to return praise to God for the fruitfulness of America’s broad acres. It is appropriate that we think today of the Christian life as manifesting itself in the bearing of fruit. Christian work of whicn we spoke last Simday may (at least in a meas ure) be imitated, but fruit cannot be imitated. It is the result of life and pnly those who know the'new birth bear the fruit of Christianity. The chapter before us is a portion of Scripture which has been the pe culiar favorite of God’s children in all generations. It is at the center of our Lord’s words with his disci ples immediately before his death on the cross. Many are the expositions of this passage, but a beautifully simple one which came to the writer from Dr. W. Graham Scroggie is suggest ed as most helpful. I. Life and Fruitfulness (w. 1-8). Life results in fruit and there can be no true fruit where there is no life. Christ is the vine, the Fa ther is the keeper of the vine. We who are Christ’s are the branches abiding in him, that is, living our whole life in and for him in such close union with him that his life as the vine brings forth fnffi in us as the branches. That is real Christian living. But, alas, there are branches that seem to belong to the vine but they lack the one indispensable evidence of life which is the normal bearing of fruit. These the Father must take and cast away to be destroyed. While we must not read into these words more than our Lord intended, let us beware lest we explain away their serious import. These are grave words of warning to false pro fessors of Christianity, but they are not spoken to distress and disheart en true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Fruit in the Christian is undoubt edly first of all the fruit of charac ter but that character is also to show in conduct. Note the progress —“fruit” (v. 2), “more fruit” (v. 2), “much fruit” (v. 5). In order to bear more fruit there is need of pruning and cleansing (w . 2, 3). Pleasant? Not always, but always profitable. Let us thank God for even the pruning knife when its work is needed. Do not miss the prayer promise in verse 7. It is an unlimited prom ise with a closely limited condition. Let us meet the condition and claim the promise. U. Love and Friendship (w . 9-16). “This is .my commandment tliat ye love one another.” In verse 10 we read that to abide in the love of Christ we must keep his command ments and now we learn that it is his command that we love one an other. We are not to await the impulse prompted by the beauty or kindness or propinquity of someone, but we are to love one another. Many a Christian who has obeyed the commandments against steal ing, adultery, and blaspheia|;- has never noticed that he is cojj^jandad to love. ^ The joy of Christ was fulfilled on the eve of Calvary by the love of his disciples for one another and for him. He rejoices today when we love the brethren and love him, for thus we enter upon the beautiful relationship of friends. Dr. Scroggie says, “We may (be God’s children without being his friends; the one is based on his gift of life to us; the other, upon our of fering of love for him. Are you a friend of God? You cannot have God and the world for friends at the same time. The friendship of the world is enmity with God. The world hates Christ, and therefore will not love you if you are like him.” But, oh! the sweet intimacy of fellowship with him.. Read verses 14 to 16. Chosen and appointed by him, for “hejirst loved us,” we are not kept in the distant position of servants Iiut are brought into his circle of friends .with whom he shares the glorious secrets of his Father, and our Father. It is a great thing to be a Christian, a friend of the Saviour. Intellect Every mast should use his intel lect not as he uses his lamp in' the study, only for his own seeing, but as the lighthouse uses its lamps, that those afar off on the sea may see the shining and learn their way. ' The Past ^ ^fhe ^ise man must remember that while he is a descendant-pf the past,-he is a parent of the fi*. ture, and that his'thoughts are as children born to him, which he may not carelessly let die.-^-Spencer. The Newest in Miniature Q A S EW - YOUR -OWN presents a house frock with the heart to be up and doing, no matter how busy you are, how old you are, or how many calories you’ve forgot ten to keep count of. Sew-Your- Own also presents the first doll with a heart (the picture proves it). And lastly it presents a frock with a love interest for a Modern Mise, something usually confined to the movies. Ideal for Home. Sew-Your-Own always has had a soft spot m its heart for the Lady of the Fireside, she who cooks .and bakes and sews and keeps everything right. Today’s house frock for her (above left) is as neat and sweet as anyone could wish. The collar in contrast and the saw tooth edging piped to match, make that difference be tween this dress and run-of-the- mill. Of course, it’s easy to run up and practically no trouble at all to launder. Better make two! A Doll—a Dress. The little lady in the center, above, knows her heart’s in the right place because Mommy put it there. Dolly Dimples is her swell little playmate and her heart’s in the right place, too.

W I T H B A N N E R S CHAPTER XII—Continued —19— The laughing tenderness of his Voice twisted Brooke’s heart un bearably. She tore her thoughts from him and watched her brother. She could see his lips move in uni son with the lines spoken on the stage. The curtain fell slowly on the mi nor climax of the first act. The setting and theme had been established and the characters present ed. The audience applauded enthu siastically. From a hole in the cur tain Brooke saw the New York pro ducer go up the aisle. Would he return? “Don’t you dare go away, don’t you dare!” she flung at his straight back. “How did it go?” Sam’s voice was hoarse. “It’s wonderful, Sam. Not an un- •necessary word; every line was ‘Forward march!’ for your story. The acting is the best I’ve ever seen in an amateur performance.” “So what? Does it prove any thing? They’re all good except Daphne; she isn’t getting her lines over. I hold my breath every time she opens her mouth. Isn’t Trent great? He’s the spark-plug of the cast. Wait till you see him in the crucial moment in the next act, when he thinks the girl he loves has double-crossed him.” Jerry Field appeared beside her dressed in leather jacket and knick ers, with a gun in his hand. “How’s it going, Brooke?” “I can’t see the stage, but from the response of those out front I’d say it was a hit. You’re grand in that sports costume. You’ve made every point, Jerry.” - “Thanks. That’s because when I say a word of love to Lucette I’m saying it to you.” He caught her hand and pressed his lips to it fer vently. “Please—don’t, Jerry.” “You’ve said that too many times, sweet thing. After the play we’ll have a reckoning—get me?” “After the play." Brooke repeated the words to herself. So much was t*. happen that would change lives, after the play. “Hey! Field! Field, come on!” Sam’s whisper. Sam’s beckoning hand. Brooke followed Jerry as far as the wings from which she could see him drop to a log on the stage, left center. “Why don’t you turn thumbs up and end the poor boy’s torment?” asked a low voice behind her. . She turned quickly. Something in Mark Trent’s voice made her furi ously angry. “That’s quite a suggestion that I end ‘the poor boy’s torment.’ I will. Tonight.” “Don’t do it until I change after the show. I want to drive you home, Brooke. There is something I must say to you.” Brooke felt the blood rush to her face and recede. Had Henri double- crossed her and told him about the will? Did Mark Trent think she in tended to hide it? She wouldn’t give I him a chance to accuse her before she produced that paper locked in her desk. She said as steadily as she could with his eyes boring into her soul; “Sorry. The minute the curtain falls, I shall dash to Lookout House to change into something snappy for the grand celebration. You wouldn’t have me come to your grand party in this green, knit, would you? Quick! Sam wants the wings cleared.” She backed out, conscious of Mark Trent’s disturbing presence close beside her. “The music has stopped! There go the foots!” She caught his sleeve, looked up and begged in an un steady whisper: “Do your best, Mark. ' This act will kill or make the play.” His lips were on hers so quickly that she had no chance to protest. He kissed her passionately, thor oughly; said in a husky whisper: “Credit that to the silent police man. Now, I’ll play that part to the hilt.” Brooke tried to ignore her racing pulses. She mocked: “I seem to be in the path of an emotional cyclose; first, JerryField; now you. I suppose Jed will be the next. Your cue! Quick! Quick!” In an instant he was on the stage. Brooke shut her eyes tight in an effort to steady a whirling world. Mark Trent’s lips on hers had been like an electric current through her body. Every pulse, every nerve re sponded. She listened. It was very still in front, a sort of hypnotized stillness. She could hear the voices on the stage, but she couldn’t keep her mind on what they were saying. Even as she supplied properties, even as the actors made their en trances and exits she was thinking of Mark Trent’s eyes as he had looked down into hers, was wonder ing what he wanted to tell her on the way home? How Reybumish! The incurable dramatic streak in the Reyburn temperament had been in the sad dle when she had planned that. By E m ilie Loring G E m iU eL o rin g , W N P S ervice. ' CHAPTER Xin As the curtain1 fell with dramatic slowness for the last time, the audi ence stood clapping and calling. As it rose again, Brooke saw the blond marcelle, second row center, make its way up the aisle followed by a man with sleek black hair. The pro ducer and the manager! They had come back for the third. That must mean something. Were they leav ing before speaking to Sam? He was on the stage now in the midst of the cast who had taken their bows; the ^arms of the women were heaped with flowers.. He had put on coat and collar and tie but the white bow had gone rakish. He looked very young as he stood grinning boyishly and waiting for a chance to speak. His voice shook as he said: “Thanks lots! Glad you liked it. Couldnit have put it across without their help.” He indicated the men and girls around him on the stage, and the audience broke into thun derous applause. The curtain fell slowly. Brooke’s eyes were blinded by happy tears as she started for the dressing-room. She must get back to Lookout House to change for the party. The girls of the cast were going to Mark Trent’s in the evening frocks they had worn in the last act. Leaving the wings, she collid ed with the marcelled blond. The New York producer! He was un aware of her murmured apology as he gesticulated and talked to his sleek-haired companion. She lis tened unashamedly and heard him say: “It’s got everything. Humor, sus pense, moving simplicity, fidelity to ideals, and unfaltering movement.” “But has it got box-office?”“I’ll gamble my last dollar on it. It’s the old recipe for play-writing carried to perfection: “ ‘Make ’em laugh; make ’em weep; make ’em wait.’ Where’d you say that boy got his start?” Brooke dodged acquaintances and strangers in evening clothes who were crowding on to the stage to “Get Going! Get Going!” greet the actors. Rt the dressing- room she slipped into her fur coat and ran downstairs to her town car parked near the rear entrance. The snow was falling half-heart edly as if it had not quite decided if it were worth while to come down at all. She drove swiftly toward home. Mark Trent had asked her to plan his party, had told her to go the limit in preparations to make it a success. . “Go as far as you like with every thing, only be sure that there is enough to eat and sufficient help. To have plenty is an obsession of mine.” There would be plenty and then some. Just before she left Lookout House for the Club theater, the caterer had arrived with his van and a horde of waiters. They had sounded like an : army making camp. Trent’s Japanese cook came for ward to open the door of the car when she arrived. Snow powdered his shoulders and cap. His eyes glittered in his swarthy face. His teeth gleamed as he ducked his head in a funny little bow. Brooke let down the window. “I won’t get out here, Taku. I’ll run into our garage. AU the space outside will be needed for the cars of the guests.” “You right, Mees. Thank you. Much big party, Kowa say.” Would there be room for Sam’s cbupe? Brooke wondered, as she drove into the garage. One comer had .been filled with ice cream tubs. He could leave it outside, she de cided. She shut off her engine and partially closed the door as she went out. As she reached the dark hem lock behind the Other House, she lingered for an instant in its deep shadow.' How still the world was. Snow fell as softly as if someone had slit open a pillow and shaken down its feathers. There was no near sound of surf tonight. She shrank' deeper into the purple gloom under the tree as- two men came down the back steps :from the kitchen—waiters, she knew by their clothing. Not more than five feet from her one of them stopped to light a cigarette. He growled: “The boss can wait for them ice cream tubs till I get a smoke.” “Sure he can. Light' up again and take a look at this.” A hand held a scrap of paper within the light of a match. The same voice said: “It’s the picture of the dame who said: ‘He was a swell-dressed fella.' Guess I’ll have to date her up!” The other man closed his hand over the match. “You an’ your dames! Forget ’em for tonight, or you’ll crack up on this job; Come on!” As Brooke dressed in her room, the words and suggestive laugh of the man who had produced the pic ture kept boiling up through her jubilation over Sam’s success, through the inescapable memory of Mark Trent’s eyes and voice as he had caught her in his arms. She was adjusting a rhinestone and synthetic emerald dip to the shoulder of her white satin frock when a thought forked through her mind like lightning. The amber and brown eyes of the looking-glass girl-frowning back at her widened with amazement; her red lips moved. “He said—he said—‘I’ll have to date her up!’ ” In an instant she was on the floor beside her desk with a big manila envelope in her lap. She pulled out a bunch of clippings. She had it! the picture of a girl, Maggie Cas sidy, and under it the caption: “She said that the man she saw in the garage was a swell-dressed fella.” The waiter who had shown the other man the clipping was the Bath Crystal Bandit, the man she had recognized.at tiie Supper dub! He was the man who had tied up Hunt in the garage! Was he also the mur derer of Lola Hunt? Why was the man in Mark Trent’s house tonight? His pal had said: “Forget ’em, or you’ll crack up on this job.” What job? Something big must have tempted him to come so near the scene of his last hold-up, or had that newspaper headline stat ing that he was being followed to Canada made him fed secure? What was he after? More jewels? “Get a peek at Mrs. Gregory out front, third row, center. She’s blaz ing with jools.” Jed Stewart’s words answered Brooke’s question as clearly as if whispered in her ear. The man had come for Mrs. Gregory’s diamonds. She must notify the police! She snatched her hand from the tele phone in its cradle on the desk. Not that. Wires had ears. She wodd go herself. Across the cause way. To Inspector Harrison at headquarters. She could go and be back before she was missed. Sup pose she were stopped on the way! Where was Henri? Was he in on this? She must locate him before she left the house. She caught up a green velvet wrap, stuffed some bills into her emerald satin bag. Pelted down the stairs, into the living-room toward the bell. Stopped. Where was the parrot? He was not in his cage! Had he made another break for freedom? She looked between the gilded bars. What seemed to be merely a bunch of green feathers lay stiffly on the bottom. “Well, if this isn’t just one of those days!” she said aloud. “Oh, Brooke!” Jerry Field called from the hall. As she appeared in the doorway, he exclaimed: “Of all the gorgeous creatures! You look like a million! ” “Jerry, drive me across the causeway, will you? Quick!" “What’s the matter?” “I must go. Is your road ster here?” . “Left it by your garage.” “By the garage!” Brooke’s blood congealed. Sup pose as they stepped into the car the two crook waiters should appear for a tub of ice cream? Would the men suspect her errand? Into her mind flashed her reply to Mark Trent: “That’s quite a suggestion that I end the poor boy’s torment. I will. Tonight.” What a thought for (his crisis! What a thought! “Wait a minute, Jerry! While I’m upstairs, set the parrot’s cage in the back hall, please.' I -I can’t bear to have it here. You’ll see why.” She raced up the stairs, charged into her bedroom, pulled a suit case from the shelf. On the way down, she took the two lowest stairs in a jump. She thrust the case into Field’s hand.. ' “What’s the big idea?” “Don’t — ask — questions! Let’s go!” “You can’t walk in the snow in those white satin sandals, you’ll ruin the green heels.”She pushed him toward the door. “Get* going! Get going!”“Well, I’ll be darned! Come on.” 1. Brooke felt the dampness between the straps of her sandals. It seemed miles'to the garage. . There was Jerry’s roadster! A waiter was com ing down the back steps. It might be the Bath Crystal Bandit! She called in a guarded voice to the Japanese who was directing park ing, but loud enough for the man on the steps to hear: ■' “Taku! Put this suitcase in-the ruinble. And, Taku, if you see my brother, tell him—tell him,” she raised her voice, “that Mr. Field and I have run away to be mnfu ried.” (TO BE CONTIiWSDl Historic Hoaxes SB By ELMO SCOTT WATSON G W estern N ew sp ap er U nion. 'Extra! Noah's Ark Found! D ACK in the. days of the Klondike ■*-* gold rush, the few publishers in Alaska, especially those who issued dailies, had great difficulty In get ting enough news to fill their pa pers. At one time the telegraph lines into Dawson were down for two months and the roads were so filled with snow that no mail arrived by dog team tor 35 days. During this period one Dawson publisher called his reporter to him. “Look here, we’ve simply got to have more hews,” he said. “Sub scriptions are falling off and if you want to stay on my payroll, you’d better get out and grab off a story that will be talked about from the Aurora Borealis to the Southern Cross.” Casey Antonio Moran was the re porter’s name and the imagination which he displayed in adding “An tonio” to his name because he “liked the sound of it” extended to his reportorial ability. So the next morning a headline clear across the front page of his boss’ paper pro claimed, “Ruins of Noah’s Ark Found on Mt. Koyulmk in Yukon Country.” Under that headline was an "ex clusive interview” with an Indian chief who told of having been lost in the “Haunted Country” of the Koyidmk and finding on top of a mountain “a house as big as a white man’s town built-in a big canoe” which had turned to stone. When the reporter took him to a min ister’s home and showed him a pic ture of Noah’s Ark, the chief de clared that it was exactly like the house in the big canoe on the moun tain top. The story caused a sensation when the paper was distributed in Dawson. Although the other two dailies tried to discredit the yarn, many people were enough im pressed by the affidavit, furnished by the chief, which was given a prominent place on the front page, to believe it. It was also believed by many people back in the “States” when press association wires carried it to newspapers who printed it and to this day one can hear an occasional reference to the fact that “they discovered Noah’s Ark up in Alaska several years ego.” • • • The Camelce A MONG the correspondents who accompanied the Newton- Ienney exploring expedition in the Black HiUs of South Dakota in 1875 was R. B. Davenport of the Uew York Herald. Davenport was e typical “tenderfoot” and a tire less seeker after information— which some of the packers and fuides for the expedition were only loo willing to supply! One day he discovered the skele ton of a huge buU elk and excitedly asked California Joe, the famous scout, what it was. “Wen, sir,” re- pUed Joe, “I reckon that there must be the bones of one of them camel- ces I’ve heerd so much about. You see, a good many year ago the guv’ment decided to use camels for packin’ suppUes down in the des erts of Arizony. Some of the fe males escaped and, feelin’ sorta lonely, they joined up with a elk herd. It wasn’t long before they was matin’ with the bull elks and the result was somethin’ that was half camel and half-elk. Dog-gonedest animal I ever seed—weU, come to think of it, I never did see one my self but a lot uv feUows I knowed did.” So California Joe went on at great, length, giving a minute description of the camelce, as he called .it, and within a short time the New York Herald printed an extended account of this new marvel in the animal world which had been dis covered out in the Black Hills! • • • Lirpa L oof. D ACK in 1910, a story in the Lon- u don (Ohio) Times announced that a coffee operator from Brazil, named Senor Lirpa Loof, was a visi tor in that city. Moreover it print ed a long interview with-the dis tinguished foreigner on the subject of coffee cultivation. - Within a few days rival papers were printing even longer inter views on that subject and one of them told of a company that was being organised by the Brazilian with many leeai merchants as stockholders. One paper even bor rowed a cut, used OriginaUy in the Times, to illustrate its story. . WhUe public interest in this sub? ject was at its height, the editor of the Times, H. F. Harrington, , later director of: the MediU school of journalism at Northwestern, univer sity, published a story which caused some of his ' rival editors consider able embarrassment. He suggest ed that they’reverse; the spelling of the name of the distinguished-Bra- zUiah.;'When they-~and^ffiey^>Uc— noyed by the practice of “news pi rating” by . his rivals and he took this method of teaching - them a much-needed lesson in newspaper ethics.

RED CROSS ORSERVES NURSING ANNIVERSARY 1937 Marks 25th Year Ol Public Health Nursing In Rural Areas “Prior to Inauguration of the Red Crosa Town and Country nursing ser- vice in 191 Hy no national effort was nade to Lrins nu.siug skill to the rural sickbed.” Janies L Fieser. vice cbalr man in charge oi domestic operations tor the American Ked Cross, said today In commenting on the silver anniver sary ot Red Cross public healtb nurs ing. > In a plea for an Increased member ship during the coming Red Cross an iiual Roll Call ueld from November 11 to the Hath. Mr: Fieser pointed out tbai Red Cross rural nursing rounds out HS years or continuous service tbls year “It is essential activities sucb as tbls which the American people support .through membership.” be said. In lfllu Lillian A aid. then bead rest dent or the Ilenrj Street Settlement Il New York City proposeo that tbe American Red Cross pioneer In tbe field or rural nursing Public bealtb nurses were active in urban districts bat, a, similar provision bad been made to guard tbe bealtb oi tbe rural dweller. Miss Wald felt that tbe Red Croaa was best qualified, for the undertaking through Its long experience In convert ing humanitarian ideals Into practical accomplishment. Two years later the first Red Cross rural nurse set forth upon her rounds In a county In Massachusetts. Jacob Scbiff, member of the Red Cross Board of Incorporators, and Mrs. Wbitelaw Reid eacb contributed funds to star', the project. Special courses ot training tor nurses resulted In young women wbo tborougbly knew the mechanics of tbls new job. By 1918 there were 100 rural nursing services conducted by Red Cross chap ters: and 18 months later the number of services had skyrocketed to 2.040, as the signing o. the Armistice released a flood of War nurses tor peafce-tlme duty. "Reorganization and consolidation -eventually cut the number of pnblic ihealth nurses serving under the Red Cross flag.” Mr. OTeser stated. “But as a group their efficiency increased." Mr. Fieser called attention to a study of Red Cross public bealtb nursing ac complishments since tbe service was begun. “Statistics show that In all nearly 3,000 services were established by tbe Red Cross." be said. “During the past IS years (.800 public healtb nurses :were assigned to chapters, and a total of 18,000,000 visits were made to or In : behalf of patients. “Each year during the past 11, more than 140,000 rural school children have been found to have physical defects. Each year 189,000 of these Children were helped through treatment" At the present Ume there are CM Red Cross public healtb nnrses en gaged m healtb work In rural com munities, and last year more than 1,000,000 visits were made on behalf of: the sick. “It has been our purpose from the first” Mr. Fieser emphasised, “to demonstrate that rural nursing was seeded and could be organised. In many instances we hare turned established community nursing services over to lo cal healtb authorities. When this was done, we tnrned our effort toward open ing up additional virgin territory." Other Red Cross services supported by Roll Call memberships are life sav- ‘ lng; first aid; disaster relief and the work.ot organized Red-Cross volun teers. 1 Many Red Crow chapters eany on' extensive clvlllah relief work. During the past year 120.000 needy families re ceived thls type ot Red Cross help.
