Good News For York It is not only good news for York but also for many other towns near the borders of all of our neighbor: ing states. Hundreds of North Carolina couples go now to York and other out of-states to be' mar ried because of the laxity of mar riage laws in other states or be cause of certain requirements in our own marriage laws. The good news for the “marry ing” towns is that there is a move ment afoot in North Carolina -to make our marriage laws .still more stringent. The next general as sembly may enact a law to require both parties of a prospective mar. riage couple to have physical exa. minations and blood tests to guard against the marriage of people who have venereal diseases. This is proposed as a part of the State Board of Health’s campaign against the spread of syphilis The Record endorses, such a law. but it can see where it might drive many more couples to other states to have their marriage ceremonies performed. However, it seems that young men who have any regard tor the girls they propose to make their wives should be glad ot the oppor tunity to give them the assurance that they are free from this dread disease and that any children which might be born to them also are protected against the inheritance of such an awful scourge, And the girls should beware of young men who seem inclined to avoid examinations for syphilitic blood by asking them to go out .of the state for the marriage cere mony; while at the same time, the girls should not hesitate to be ex amined for a disease they may hate innocently without even their own knowledge of It when such germs in their blood may mean their death and maybe blind or feeble minded babies or the destruction of their husband’s nealth.—Statesville Reicord For. The Price Of One Cigarette. How expensive is electricity? Facts prove that it is about the cheapest thing we use. For, the price of a single; cigarette—not-a package—the average home owner can light a 4 0 watt bulb for almost four hours, or operate a radio: for nearly two hours.ot percolate: cof fee for 21 minutes, or run an auto matic rrfrigerator for three and a half hours, or an electric clock : for three and one-half days, operate an electric fan more than two and one- half hours, or operate a washing machine 31 minutes, or toast bread for at minutes, or run an electric dish-washer 42 minutes. For the price of an entire pack age of cigarettes the average home owner can pay all bis electric bill for more than a day. For the priee of a movie show, the family can use electricity for two weeks or more. For the price of a Sunday driving trip, it can pay its house hold electric bill for a month or t Wc.

The present Democratic, adminis tration has been tacitly accused of playing a lot of politics Well why not? Biit let us' look into some of this alleged “fixiug” said to have been worked by the ubiquitous New Dealers Some of Its looks—well, sort of '‘political” ; and while much of it can He defended on the grounds of hutnanitanism, still after all. there is the faint of policies in it—a taint that mignt be removed with a vejy little trouble. Take the ‘‘relief racket,” for in stance. Now, no one will argue that the. relief was unnecessary It was highly necessary. It was vital to many : unfortunates. It saved thousands from dire want, from starvation, from death. But it is unfortunate that in administering relief, there was the taint ot poli cies in the whole matter. Could politics be eliminated? It could It can now, too: How? By disenfranching every one on relief, and making a law that, once dis- enfranchisbed, the voter could not be enfranchised until one year after he or she went off relief. That, if you please, would auto matically " eliminate politics from the relief question. Oh, yes, it would, too. Not only that, but it would reduce the relief expense fully 50 per cent within six months. Why? Because when any one went on relief that person automa tically went off the voting' poll He or she would beabsolutely useless to any politician, regardless of par ty. The reliefers could not be told whom to vote: for, because the re liefer would have no vote to be owned and controlled by any poli tician. ' This should hot be considered a disgrace by the reliefer. It is no more humiliating to be deprived of a vote than it is to be compelled to accept charity from the govern ment,; And at the same lime the recipient is In. no way obligated to any politician, and does not have to ’’jump through” at the behest of any ward heeler, whoover - be may be If there is-no politics in -the re lief. racket, then . no politician should object to such ian arrange ment If, on the other hand, there is a politicians will naturally yell to high heaven against such an ar rangement; and then we, proleta riat, the men and women who are paying taxes to supply the money for this'political graft, will know what w;e are doing and where we stand. There is no question that the re lief racket is worked to a fare-you- well. Mt is a graft, and is used by many people who; , were: they * put' oh their ohm: could and would be come self-sustaining at once. . "Politicians' .know this.v They, however, dwh and control the votes of'such people,' and with those very votes they win elections. - Of course there are many, many worthy caaes on relief work should stop. - But there: should be a weed ing out, aind, with votes eliminated, that.would be quickly accomplish ed,-'and the country would-'benefit, even if the-politicians should- suf fer; —Harry R^Drummon, in Union Republican, Taken For A Ride. ...Deputy-Sneriff CalvihHaSbiit. of ,, stoppedjrijt^ar with hitCh-hifeers:ya.ay^; their; thumbs.

It so happens that we have known the man in question for a number of years. He has been unable to hold a position for more than two or three months at a stretch He either gets tired and quits, or else he is discharged. On one occasion he was fired because lie stole some money. At another time be and a confederate were caught late at night in the act of carryiug some merchandise through the back door of the store where he was working. He has been a consistent gambler for many years and also drinks to excess. And yet, because he helps to collect absentee ballots before elec. tions, posts political placards over the countryside, whoops and boi lers at speech-making?, fawns upon the powers-that-be, aids in the re gistration of voters and assists in hauling: them to the polls, he is considered a great asset to the par- y and, as a result, is given a polit ical job. All things being equal, .‘‘service to the par'y” might be given some consideration. The trouble in the past, however, has been too much consideration. Our local,, state and federal governments would be on a much more efficient and economical basis if we placed more stress upon a man’s character and ability and paid less attention to bis '‘service to the party” ' Ford or Lewis? AsbetweenHenry Fordand John L. Lewis -the average man in the street can ask himself one question: Which one of them has best served bis fellow man? How much work and wealth has Ford created for the people and how much has Lewis pro vided? Also: Who did more to in crease worker’s wages. Ford 'or Lewis? Which, one has done the most to raise the standard of Ameri can living? Which one is least am bitious for personal political power? When the history of this period is written in the centuries to come which one will loom larger us the nenefactor of mankind? Both of them were born on the farm, neither with any advantage over the other. If only one of them could have lived, which would have been the greater loss to the world? —By a writer in the. Detroit Free Press, Python SwaliowsSchool Boy. Because he disobeyed his teacher’s orders, a pupil in Bugada village, India was looked in the lumber room as punishment, But when the teach* er and the lad’s father went to let him out he could not be found. Ir- stead a distended python glided out. The boy had.been swallowed by the snake, which was hidden among timber piled In a corner of the room, and the cries which the teacher'' bad- tanken to be a fit of rage were the boy’s fantic appeals to be snatched from the coils which. bad trapped him.' ; Tbe snake was/quickly killed and cut open., The boy was found in side with most of bis bones hroden, but still breathing faintly. He died shortly afterwards in a hospital. The Hammer. Ifyou mutt use a hammer, us'e as small a-one as you possibly can and try the same on your own head If there is ever room for complaint, and an apparent occasion to knock some one or something, don’t do it Leave it to the other fellow, and let him get the brunt of the mis take. A man who minds his own affairs and keeps his mouth closed is always held in higher esteem than the man who knocks, even though there were occasion for dis satisfaction If yon can ever fuither vour bus incss or .social interests by knock ing, and execute that Iow y trick without tramping beneath your feet one of the most sacred assets that man has been endowed with— a reputation— and, if you have no pride in the manner in which you conduct yourself, and care net for the respect of your friends, and if you are unable to observe the ob- noxiousness of another man’s kno cking, then go right ahead and knock, but remember, that what you have gained by giving vent to vour feelings in that emotional state, is infinitely small when com pared to the almost irreparable be smirchment of your character and reputation. Every time you knock you deal yourself a solar-plexus blow that sooner or later will cause you to take the count. And, to my mind, the most effectual antag onist of this inherent disease of knocking is, that a thoroughbred gentleman will seldom kuock. It is good advice for all of us to pre tend to be true gentlemen and play the role to the best of our ability, whether we are one in reality or not - Orange and Blue. Some Consolation.

CHAPTER XHI—Continued “So we’re off to be married! That’s all right with me,” Jerry Field approved fervently. Brooke, whose face was pressed against the back window of the roadster, twisted round in her seat. “Don’t be foolish, Jerry. Of course we’re not. That was a red herring drawn across our trail.” “Just why the red herring?”The ironic note in his voice gave her a chill tremor of dismay; she didn’t care for the way in which his eyes narrowed as they peered through the wind shield. She pro tested: “Don’t speak like that, it makes me shivery, and goodness knows my teeth are fairly chattering now.” She turned to peer from the rear window. “No car in sight yet. Can you go a little faster?” “Not without a risk of skidding off the causeway and breaking our necks. Can’t you see how the snow is plastering the wind shield. The squeegee barely moves. Why the haste?” “While I’m telling you I’ll keep watch. The excitement began upon my return from the play.” She told him of leaving her town car in the garage, of stopping in the purple gloom under the hemlock to look at the lighted windows of the stone houses crouched on the ledge; her breath quickened as she re peated the words of the man who had produced the newspaper clip ping:“ ‘It’s the picture of the dame who said: “He was a swell-dressed fella!” ‘I’ll have to date her up.’” “That was what the Cassidy girl said about the man they suspect’ robbed Mrs. Hunt!” Field’s voice was sharp, his per sonal problem was submerged in a mounting tide of excitement. The car shot ahead,like a whippet un leashed. “I know that now. The certainty as to who he was flashed through my mind while I was dressing, and the suspicion that he might be at . the. Other House tonight to lift— that’s the technical term, isn’t it— ' Mrs. Gregory’s gorgeous dia monds.” • “Why didn’t you phone the po lice?” “With Henri in the house? I may be a slow thinker but I’m not abso lutely dumb. “And the suitcase?” “A touch of theater. I thought if one of the gang saw us starting, he might suspect he had been dis covered, but if he heard what I told Taku he would feel secure. Elopements happen every day.” “Not in my young life,” Jerry Field retorted crisply. They maintained a breathless, alert silence until the roadster turned a comer into a street which had an air of lonely spaciousness. Ji^t ahead bulked the combination jail and police headquarters, gloomy and ponderous. “Shall I come in with you?” Field asked, as he stopped the roadster before a heavy iron door and cut oS his engine. “Yes. I may need you to corrobo rate my story. When I burst in upon them in this gown, they may think I’m crazy. Hurry! We don’t know what is going on at the Other House.” Field slipped his arm within hers as they mounted the snowy steps. “I’ll stick around and wait till you call me. Don’t shiver, sweet thing, You’re not afraid of the in spector, are you?” • : “Afraid! No. Haven’t I been cross-examined by him almost ev ery day since what Sam calls ‘our late unpleasantness’? It’s just the Beybum temperament.’’ . Her satin sandals skidded treach erously in the corridor as she con fronted a policeman whose nose, criss-crossed with a network of fine jveins, had the effect of a red .“stop” signal. • “Where’s the inspector? I must ,see him. Matter of life and death,” !she confided breathlessly. In her excitement she caught the man’s Jarm and shook it. He scowled at 'ther,- looked beyond, her at Jerry !Field; his expression mellowed. “Inspector’s just come in. He’s ;in the radio division. Go through ;those swinging doors up them stairs ,to the tower.” ‘ Brooke was through the doors be fore the man had finished speaking. ;Three or four men leaning over a great U-shaped table looked up as she entered the room. With a muttered exclamation, the inspector left them and came forward. A man sitting at a telephone said something in a low voice to an offi cer before a microphone. Tubes in the broadcasting apparatus crack led into life. He said slowly ana ’distinctly into the mike: *' “Calling car 3131. Car 3131. Car •131. Go to K and Tenth street.” Brooke commanded breathlessly: “Listen -to me, Inspector. The man who robbed Lola Hunt is serv ing supper at the Trent h-house on the point!”Inspector Bill Harrison smiled, a curious smile. “Wish I’d known this before, Miss Reyburn. I’ve just come from the point, following a tip I had. What’s the dope on this bandit? Is it the same guy you saw at the Supper club?” “It must be, Inspector. Tonight—” Before she had finished telling of the alleged waiter’s remark about Maggie Cassidy’s pic ture, machinery was crackling again and the man at the microphone was broadcasting distinctly: “Calling car 1942. Car 1942. Car 1942. Go to Trent house on point. Inspector will meet you. Callingcar 6784. Car 6784. Car 6784. Go to Trent house on point. Inspector will meet you.”Inspector Bill Harrison was out of the room before the man at the microphone had completed the call. One of the officers turned over two discs on the U-table; the other frowned at her with the bluest, most Irish eyes she ever had seen as he answered her unspoken question: _ “We don’t dare be more explicit over the mike, Miss. The thugs pick up the messages.” “I hope they get there in time, Sergeant?”“Time for what, Miss?” “I think—I think he’s there to get Mrs. Gregory’s diamonds—she’s— she’s simply plastered with them tonight” Jerry. Field was pacing the lower corridor when die reached it. “It’s about time you appeared, Brooke! I was just coming up to look for you. What do we do next?” “Back to. the party of course.” The wind swirled her short hair, clutched at her satin skirts, tugged at her velvet wrap as they went down the jail steps. As Jerry Field tucked the robe about her wet feet he looked up. Snow had settled in the brim of his soft hat, whitened his shoulders. “Let’s make a break for town, sweet thing, and make that yarn you told Taku the truth.”The expression in his eyes, the break in his voice hurt her. She said unsteadily:“Please, Jerry! I can’t care for you that way. Take me back quick ly, will you? We mustn’t miss Sam’s party.”“Oh Sem! Sam is your white- haired boy. He’s all that you Bey- bum women think of or care about. I believe you’d sell your soul for him!” After one look at his grim mouth and gloomy eyes, Brooke snuggled into her corner of the seat.They sped in silence through the night. Toward the east-the drab, heavy clouds were thinning before a spreading radiance.“I believe the snow is letting up, Jerry. Look! The moon is trying to break through! Drive faster. I can’t wait to know what has hap pened."“Don’t worry, you’ll get to the party all right.”Brooke ignored his gruffness. “Of course I want to get to the party. Then I shan’t feel guilty that I dragged you away from the fun and congratulations. Leave me at Look out House. I must change these soaked sandals before I join the fes tivities. Here we are.” From the top of .the steps she looked down at field who was look ing up at her. “I’m sorry, Jerry,” she whis pered softly, before she entered the house and closed the door behind her.“He doesn’t really love me, he’s a spoiled boy who wants what he can’t have,” she reassured herself, as in her boudoir she changed her wet sandals. She readjusted the rhinestone and emerald clip oh her white frock, sprayed perfume on her hair, pow dered her nose, accented her lips. She shook her head at the looking- glass girt “Stalling, aren’t you, Brooke Rey- bura? You dread to face Mark Trent with that will you’ve kept back for two days, don’t you? Get going!” She crossed to the,desk, found the key where she had hidden it, “Zero hour,” she said aloud, and unlocked the drawer in which she had placed the wilL She looked down. The drawer was empty. CBAFDX XIV People coming, but not going; music never stopping. It was that kind of a party. To the accompaniment of the.hum of voices, the stimulating beat and throb o f. the orchestra, the dis tant faint tinkle of silver and glass. Sam Beybum made slow progress through the gay, colorful crowd on the lower floor, of the Other House, grinning at girls in lovely evening frocks who cooed over him; frown ing at men who tried to detain him. From where he stood on the low est step of the circular stairway, Mark Trent watched him. “All this praise is heady stuff for a boy,” he thought, and then reminded him self that Sam wasn’t a boy. Why wasn't Brooke with him to share the honors? She had been the first to leave the hall, the man in charge of the parked cars had told him. Where was Jerry Field? He hadn’t appeared either. A curious premonition turned him cold. Of course Brooke hadn’t meant it when in answer to his sar castic suggestion' she had said she would end Field’s torment. Hadn’t she? There had been infinite deter mination in her crisp retort: “I wffl. Tonight.” “Seen Brooke, Mark?” Sam Rey burn inquired as he approached. “I want her. to be the first to know that I’m to get a contract; that I have an option in my pocket and a check.” Mark Trent laid his hand affec tionately on his shoulder. “Great stuff, Sam, great stuff. I was sure that the New York pro ducer was hooked when he spoke to me.”Sam grinned. “Offered you the lead in a Broadway production, didn’t he? He’s a pubUcity hound. Think of the headlines: “ Tieading Insurance Executive Leaves Lucrative Business for the Stage.’ Will you do it?” “What do you think? How’s the party going, Mrs. Gregory?” Mark Trent smiled at the woman whose blazing tiara on her mar celled white hair, and plastron of diamonds on her purple velvet gown dimmed what sparkle life had left in her tired eyes. She answered crisply: “Listen to the hubbub and you won’t ask the question. Your party -Kas brought out tails and white ties, Mark, that’s a triumph \ in itself. I always know what guests think of my parties by the way they dress for them.” She patted Sam’s sleeve. “My boy, your play is the sweet est, loveliest, most heart-wringing thing I've seen on the stage for years. Where’s your sister? I want to tell her what I think of it.” “That’s what Mark and I were wondering. She left the hall before the rest of us; she told me before the first curtain was rung up that she would dash home to change for the party.” Mrs. Gregory’s face grew a shade less colorful. “I don’t like her not being here, I don’t like it. Fve been uneasy. about that girl every moment since she testified at the inquest about the strange man who passed through her room the night of the filling station hold-up. The man hasn’t been caught. She knows too much. They may try to put her out of the way.” The strong lenses in Sam’s horn rimmed spectacles magnified the horror in his eyes. "What an awful suggestion, Mrs. Gregory! What a gosh - awful thought!” It-was an awful thought, but im probable, most improbable, Mark Trent assured himself. With diffi culty he cleared his voice of hoarse ness before he accused: “You’ve been reading mystery stories, Empress, confess now, haven’t you? Just the same, we’ll start on Brooke’s trail at once. What is it, Kowa?” He spoke sharply to the servant who had wormed his way through the crowd of dancers who over flowed from the library to the hall. “Much obliged. Madame Greg ory’s car here. Chauffeur say to tell her storm bad, very bad. She better get home. He know she not like to be out in storm.”“Tell him to wait. I won’t go till I know where Brooke is,” Mrs. Gregory snapped. “Did you see Miss Reybum come in, Kowa?” Mark Trent inquired. Of course, the suggestion that she was in danger was absurd, but it was getting underhis skin. The Jap’s slanting eyes_narrowed to mere slits. He put his lips dose to Mark Trent’s ear and whispered: “Miss Reybum tell Taku she and Mr. Field goto marry, thank-you. She carry suitcase, sir.” “What!” ‘ Had he shouted the word? Mark’s eyes flashed from Mrs. Gregory to Sam Reybum. Both were regard ing him anxiously, but apparently neither had caught the content of Kowa’s whisper. “Has anything happened to Brooke?” Mrs. Gregory’s lips twitched, tears filled her eyes. Sam caught Trent’s arm. “What did Kowa say? What did he say?”Mark Trent steadied his mind. He must reply to their questions. What should he say? He couldn’t blurt out the truth here. FerhapsBrookehad flung that remark at Taku for dra matic effect. But the suitcase— “Mark! Mark! Why don’t you an swer?” He looked down into Mrs. Greg ory’s eyes, terrified now. “Brooke is perfectly safe. She— There’s Field! Ask him where she is. He Jaw her last: Go get him, Sam!

September Mom D O YOU remember back to the days when , college and prep school boys shocked their elders by displaying on the walls of their rooms the- picture of a nude girl standing in a pool of water? Itwas called “September Mom” and, although it was considered “highly improper” in those days, it became the most famous picture in America —thanks to a press agent named Harry Reichenbach, who was out of a job, and Anthony Comstock, head of the Anti-Vice society of New York. It came about in this way: The original painting had been re jected for a brewer’s calendar and was hung in the window of a New York art shop which offered repro ductions of it for ten cents. But few people were interested enough to buy these copies until Reichenbach came along and saw the pos sibilities in it. He.needed $45 to pay his room rent and the art shop promised to pay it if he could think of an idea for disposing of the 2,000 copies in its stock. Reichenbach had a large display of the picture put in the window and then, pretending to be an outraged citizen, phoned Comstock about it. He persuaded others to do the same thing and they all declared that the picture was undermining the mor als of the youth of the city. Down to the shop marched the virtuous Anthony. He found a group of raga muffins (hired by Reichenbach) loi tering around in front of the shop and making leering remarks about the picture. Convinced that “September Mom” was indeed a menace to the youth of the city, Comstock immediately ap pealed to the courts to stop the sale of the reproductions: The result was just what Reichenbach had hoped for. In fact, the picture became something of a national issue and before the excitement over it died down 7,000,000 copies had been sold at $1.00 each! • # • The Magic Stone X f AN the Ethiopian change his V-* skin, or the leopard his spots?” About 30 years ago a great many people evidently believed that the first half of that question could be answered “yes” and, for a time, this belief threatened to give Tulsa, Okla., the largest negro population of any city in the United States.It came about when J. Burr Gib bons, a reporter for the Tulsa Dem-. ocrat, wrote a news story announc ing the discovery of a negro having an oil lease near Sapidpa who had succeeded in making a white man out of himself. According to the story, the transformation resulted because the negro drank from a mineral spring on his lease. At first,1 white spots began to appear on his body. Then they gradually spread until he was as white skinned as any man of Caucasian origin. When this story was widely re printed in' other papers, an avalanche of mail descended upon the Democrat. It almost swamped the, Tulsa post office. It came from negroes all over the United States who wanted to know more about this magic spring, what were the chances for finding employment in Tulsa so they could bathe in it and enjoy its wonder-working powers, etc. Of course^ they were doomed to disappointment but it was a long time before the last inquirer , was convinced that there was no such spring and before the last echoes of the reporter’s hoax died away. * * * The Hoaxer Hoaxed T O PHENEAS T. BARNUM one day came a letter from a man in Vermont saying that he had a sen sational attraction for his American Museum on Broadway. It was a cherry-colored cat which he would sell for $200 but the terms were cash-in-advance and immediate ac ceptance of the offer. Always eager to obtain some new wonder, Bamum promptly sent on the $200. When the “wonder” arrived, he discovered that it was only an ordinary large black cat. At tached to its neck was a card which read: “I forgot to tell you that the cherries up here are. black ones,” At first Bamum was furious at the deception. Then he saw the hu mor of the situation and decided to turn it to, his own advantage. He displayed the animal in his museum and gave wide publicity to his ac quisition of a “genuine cherry-col ored cat from Vermont.” If a customer, upon seeing the animal, complained that he had been deceived and demanded his money back, the showman ex plained that he had bought the ani mal in good faith and that, further more, it really was the color of cherries, only they were Vermont black cherries. Usually, however, visitors to the museum were so de lighted to see how the master hoaxer had been hoaxed that they -did not complain. Instead they were inclined to consider it a good joke on themselves that they had been taken in by Baiaum’s claim to own ership of a “cherry-colored cat.” I r - K iith ^etfi Spears I sak Shades Give a Soft Glow ’T'HERE is subtility in the light that glows through a silk shade, and many decorators are using them. for the room that needs the softness of plaited folds and the mellowness obtained by placing two tones of fabric one over the other. Two tones of China silk, one to be used for a plain lining and. the other for a gathered outside covering will make an attractive shade. Before you buy. the. ma terial it is best to experiment with samples one over the other trying them both in daylight and over an artificial light. You will also need a roll of silk binding tape matching the top color of the shade. This tape is .to wrap the wire frame. And fancy braid ei ther in gold, silver or a harmoniz ing tope of silk is used to bind the top and bottom of the shade. Use cotton thread to match the out side tone of the silk. Slip the binding tape off the roll and wrap a rubber band around it as shown here at A.. Working from the inside end of the tape wrap the frame as shown at B.

If vour name is not on our books, you should have it put there. There are many good people in Davie county who are wondering just how they are going to get a. long if prosperity continues to en gulf them for the next two years like it has for the past two or three years. When people subscribe and pay for a paper, they want the paper to have the nerve and backbone to stand for something, even though the edit ir may not agree with them touching political or church ’affilia tions The Lord didn’t like the luke-warm fallow. Almost eveiy Democratic paDer these days contains glaring head lines telling about how bright the prospects are for big business, and how prosperity is coming our way. A trip to any of our neighboring towns will convince even the most skeptic that business is Totten. Mills are closing down throughout the country, and idlers are walking the streets. If this is prosperity, then deliver us trom greater waves of it. A few years ago this country sold several million bales of cotton to Europe. When our college profer- sors at Washington decided to com. pel the farmers to plow under their cotton and drown their pigs, the foreign countries began growing cotton, and today our foreign cot ton market seems to , have petered out. We are also importing meat t> fill the mouths of those who ate able to buv it at the present ex. horbitant price. When a people or country forget the Lord, the people and the country cannot prosper. When Hoover was president, the farmer received three cents per pound tor seed cotton, 50 cents a bushel for corn, and 75 cents a bushel for wheat. Today the farm er is getting around 3 cents per pound for his cotton, 65 to 70 cents for corn and about $1 per bushel for his wheat. In 1932 you could buy one pound of meat for two pounds of seed cotton. Today it takes about 7 pounds of seed cotton to buy a pound of fat back. You could buy a pair of good overalls for one bushel of corn, while today it takes two bushels to get the over alls.- One bushel of wheat would purchase two shirts, while today.it takes over a bushel of wheat «0 buy one shirt. If the farmer is better off today than he was five years, then we can't figure right. Our Name Is Mod.

Davis, chief of the American delegation to Uie nine-power conference in Brussels, is pictured chatting with British foreign minister Anthony Eden (left) and French foreign minister Fvon Delbos (right). The conference has accomplished nothing towards solving the Sino-Japanese tangle. ^iM u n sJu l M P ie L u td ' V'M SUMMARIZES THE WORLD’SSUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK © W estern Newspaper Vnfon* President Roosevelt proposed t a x Extra Session Opens W ITH the evident intention of doing what it can to aid busi ness, congress began its extraordi nary session. Its first business was to listen to a rath er long message from Mr. Roosevelt in which the Chief Executive commit ted himself to limit ed tax law revision for the purpose of removing admitted . injustices suffered especially by small business and non- speculative inves tors.M r.R o o sev elt “modifications ade quate to encourage productive en terprise,” but explained that he sought primarily to aid at the -ex pense of individual or partnership undertaking. The President said exercise of “ordinary prudence” would protect the nation against prolonged busi ness recession. He reiterated his intention to bal ance the next fiscal year budget, and demanded that congress find and provide new revenue for any added expenditures authorized now. The President asked congress to provide: 1. Wages and hours legislation. 2. An “all-weather” crop control program. 3. Reorganization of executive de partments.4. National planning for better use of natural resources. It appeared certain that a vig orous opposition to all or part of this program would arise, but near ly everybody seemed in favor of tax law revision.—-K- "Fireside Chat" C ALLING on the nation for full co operation in the taking of the voluntary census of the unemployed, taken by the Post OfiSce depart ment, President Roosevelt in a “fireside chat” by radio said that' permanent cure of the unemploy ment problem lies in finding jobs in industry and agriculture. Neverthe less, he said, it is still the policy of the administration that no one shall starve through lack of government aid.He gave assurance that the gov ernment will try to stimulate pri vate industry enough to enable it to re-absorb the jobless; and after the results of the census are tabulated, a long-range program will be launched. This program,. he said, will apply'to employers as well as to workers, and in this was per ceived a note of encouragement to business. The President said prosperity of the nation depended upon national purchasing power, and added: “Our far-sighted industrial lead ers now recogoize that a very sub stantial share of corporate earnings must be paid out in wages, or the soil from which these- industries grow will soon become impov erished. Our farmers'recognize that their largest customers are the workers for wages, and that farm markets cannot be maintained ex cept through widespreadpurchasing power.” Mr. Roosevelt emphasized that America will not try to solve the employment problem by a huge armament program, as. other na tions are doing. - K - Here’s Y/allace’s Program CECRETijsRY WALLACE offered a O program' which he said would “promote security for both farmers and consumers” in his annual re port to the President. To finance it he recommended a moderate proc- ;essing tax on cotton only: Crop com siii M l trol when necessary, and the “ever normal granary” are parts of his plan: These are the six points of the program which lffallace said would harmonize with the general welfare: 1. Farmers should have a share in the national income to re-establish the prewar ratio of the average farmer’s purchasing power to that of the average non-farmer. 2. The people who live on the land must have security of tenure, either as owners of land or renters on a long-time basis. 3. The soil must be used properly and conserved for future farmers and future city dwellers. 4. Farmers through sound co-op eratives must come into control of those marketing, processing, pur chasing and service functions which they can manage efficiently. 5. Family sized farms should be favored by federal programs, bene fit payments and other such aids to rural income. 6. Federal and state funds should continue to be spent to promote ag ricultural research and farm effi ciency. —K— Leaving It Up to Uncle Sam T TNLESS congress changes the neutrality act, it is probable the nations that signed and adhered to the nine-power Pacific treaty will take no positive ac tion against Japan for violating that pact. Thedelegates to the Brussels con ference, with the ex ception of Italy, vot ed to censure the Japanese for mak ing war on China, and then adjourned to get further in- structions from their N. H. Davis governments. Great Britain and France agreed to join in any effort “short of war” which the United States may de cide should be made, this meaning economic sanctions against Japan. But the isolationist policy of this country would have to be abandoned if such sanctions were to be of any avaiL A long document was submitted to the conference by China asking that the war be ended by the inflic tion of penalties against Japan. The memorandum gave statistical tables that showed economic sanctions could halt Japan because of that na tion’s dependence oii foreign markets and foreign sources of supply. Norman H. Davis, chief Ameri can delegate, in addressing the con ference, was rather conciliatory to ward Japan, but he said:. “The question in its final analysis, is whether international relations shall be determined by arbitrary force or by law and respect for international treaties. In fact, -that seems to be the greatest issue fac ing the world today, and one of the most momentous problems that mankind has been called on to solve.”—K - Plot to Kill Stalin? FROM foreign diplomats stationed *• in Moscow came reports that a plot by German agents to assassi nate Dictator Stalin of Russia had been uncovered, and that it might compromise Maxim Litvinov, for-; eign commissar, who left the Brus sels conference suddenly and ap parently seriously worried.

S ANTA MONICA, CALIF.— Had it happened in another country, we’d say, “What curi ous ideas foreigners have of law enforcement.” A footpad with an evil record held up a victim. A bystander saw the crime, identified the thief. The ruffian was held under indict ment. But he could give bond. The spec tator was "de tained” as a mate rial witness—a gen tle way of saying he was locked up, ex actly as though he had been the crim inal. Well, he was Jrvin s> Cobb guilty of being poor. Six months later came the trial. The defendant, having been out all that time on bail, looked hale and hearty. The prosecution’s witness was produced under guard, pale and sickly from close confinement. It didn’t help his health any when the crook’s attorney browbeat him, yelled at him, practically accused him of perjury. The citizen sued the state for false imprisonment, for loss of wages, for separation from his fam ily, for all he’d suffered. Under the statutes he had no standing. They threw his case out. Meanwhile, -the convicted crook had been released by the parole board and was free as a bird.* * * Aquatic Novelties. I NTERESTING ’ discoveries were made in Hawaiian waters by gov ernment ichthyologists: For fear the similarity of sound may lead to wrong impressions, let me state that this department has nothing to do with Secretary Ickes, although, since ichthyology pertains to fish, Mme. Secretary Perkins might pos sibly have a contrary view on this point. Because , they do say there are moments in the cabinet when all is not sweetness and accord. However, the point is that Uncle Sam’s piscatorial Sharps dredged up a fish that is most delectable for six months of the year, but poisonous the other six months. So at least they’ve found a creature emblemat ic of the California climate. Let this be regarded around here as treason, I will state that I’m as loyal a native stepson as any that ever came out of Iowa, having been here long enough now to join in passing resolutions endorsing the scenery and at intervals uttering' three loud ringing cheers for the sunsets. Also let envious Florida refrain from gloating. To typify Florida’s climate that fish would be good only four months of the year and power fully hard to put up with the rest of the time.* * * Lecturing Adventures. IN ALABAMA is a sect which for bids its converts to laugh or even smile. Now I know who it was bought out the house when I delivered a humorous lecture down there. The other day a chap asked me why I didn’t go back on the lecture platform. I told him I’d appeared in practically ever sizable town in America, and, though it was years ago and probably popular indigna tion had abated now, still I wasn’t taking any chances—I was waiting for some new towns tobe built. Once I tried the experimemt of slipping around to the front door to hear what the crowd said, coming out. That was the night I attempted suicide by gas, but was saved when someone, passing through the hotel corridor, smelled something that smelled even worse than the hotel smelled. A lecturer’s lot is not a happy one. But usually it’s the audience that suffers most.• • • Eating Oysters. T HERE’S a brand-new movement called' eat-oysters-iri-any-month- you-please movement, or, unless you’re working on space rates, it may be called E. O. I. A- M. Y. P. M., for short. Its sponsor says the prejudice against eating oysters in months having an “r” in them is a fallacy dating back 2,000 years when, between hiccoughs, a Roman senator said: “Oysters should be eaten only In certain seasons.” So it appears we’ve been penaliz ing ourselves ever since then for the indigestion of a Roman senator, although, so far as eating the Cali fornia oyster is concerned—he runs around forty to the dozen—I. per sonally could refrain for the whole year without any undue longings. The California oyster looks some thing like a brass overall button suf fering from vertigris. .Still, maybe it’s all for the best. Because during May, June, July and August is when the oyster doesprac- tically all his courting. There’s lit-’ tie enough romance leift in the worid. —and anyhow, who am I to . come between an oyster and his love-life? He doesn’t seem to have any too much fun the rest of the time. v IRVIN 5. COBB. C —W N U S ervice. e # National Topics Intetpietcd by WiUiaDn Btuckare Sttbut FMn Bunding Waablncton, X>. G. Washington--Word comes from Rio de Janeiro that the government _ ■' of Brazil has de-Braztl QitttM cided at long last CropControl to place its coffee business again on a competitive basis. That is to say, Brazilian coffee once more will be sold in world market conditions. It was 14 years Ugo that crop control was started, and now it has flopped finally after costing the growers losses -accountable in millions and after virtually wrecking some por tions of Brazil’s foreign trade. I think it might be said also that the fallacy of foe coffee control pol- iey was among the real causes which eventuated in the dictatorship that established itself in Brazil re cently. President Getulio Vargas succeeded in placing himself at the head of the nation “indefinitely” and he did so, he said, because of “un rest among the peoples” of the prov inces. The first dictatorship in the Western hemisphere, therefore, is a fact. But to get to the coffee question: it was the determination of the Bra zilian leaders that a policy of scar city would force coffee prices higher in the world market. The state of Sao Paulo initiated the scheme. It failed to work, and its sponsors said the reason was its scope was limited. Thus, it was expanded un til the whole nation was embraced. Still, coffee prices did not go high enough and it was then that actual destruction of coffee began. Mil lions of tons were dumped into the Atlantic ocean and other millions were burned—even as we in this country burned surplus wheat and com and killed 6,000,000 pigs. As the destruction continued and the growers found themselves tied tighter with regulations and de crees,-there were some increases in prices. But the promised great profits proved to be as illusory as a mirage on the desert.The whole thing was a boomer ang. Not only were the producers in Brazil disillusioned by failure to gain the record returns they had been led to expect, but they found another sad and wholly disadvan tageous result staring them in the face. There was some increase in the price—just enough, indeed, to reduce consumption to some extent —for the growers, but with Brazil reducing available supplies others got into the producing business. Among these new coffee growing areas, Colombia sprang into prom inence. Maybe Colombia coffee was not as good as Brazil’s, in quality. Maybe it was not quite as accepta ble otherwise. But it was cheaper, and it was profitable for Colombia planters to produce. They found a ready sale. That, however, was not the worst. When other coffee-using nations bought coffee from Colombia and other growing areas, Colombia was. able to buy other commodities from the nations buying her coffee. New trade agreements suddenly showed up; new relationships were estab lished, and some of Brazil’s former business connections throughout the world are gone with the wind. They may never be re-established: We, in the United States, ought to give quite a bit of thought to Bra-. zil’s coffee' experiment for we have had, and are threatening to have more, experiments of a ldndred na ture. Lessons in crop control are right expensive, and more impor tant is the fact that sooner or later all through history, they have had to be abandoned. And when I re fer to.' crop control, I. include, all kinds of production control whether agricultural or industrial. Some body always has to pay dearly for it and usually the cost has been ex tended. It is reflected in other com modities and in taxes until the ac tual loss from the experiment is multiplied many times over. Speaking of congress, the way it has started off makes me think that D .... . the extra sessionrolitical was purely a po- Move IiticaI move. I am: quite sure it is go ing to accomplish some great good like amending the neutrality act. Of course, I suppose I should not be selfish. I ought to consider that the representatives and senators must have time to make speeches for this or that or the other so that their constituencies back home will be duly impressed with their impor tance. Maybe so! But I repeat that the prospect of anything worth while in either the special session or in the regular session to follow in.January is decidedly dull. Politically, there are several things to watch for in the time that congress will be heave-ho-ing:. One of these definitely now visible is the maneuvering among the- Democrats to find out whether President Roose velt really wants to be a candidate for a third term. I think .I- am violating no confi dence when.I say that a.good many: of- the- President’s;. ?eat ;friends at- tiie Capitol would Iikp to-Impw, . and kqbw mow, whether l^tegqihg after a third term. He hasn’t told them in a way that is convincing. He made a speech -at the “victory din ner” last March'4 in which he said 1 he had an ambition to leave tiie President’s chair and desk with “ the nation intact, a nation at peace, a nation prosperous,” etc. He said he planned to do that in January, 1941. That would seem to be clear enough. Yet, it is amazing how many members of the President’s party at the Capitol contend that those remarks did not constitute a final withdrawal. They point as well to the fact that other Presidents, after being re-elected for a second term, have come out flat-footed with their announcements and have told their party, in effect, “Go out and get yourselves a new candidate.”* * • So, I am making a small predic tion. There will be plenty of odd . . . maneuvers, unusu- How A bout ai situations, that ThirdTerm? will appear to “ju s t happen” that way. Their purpose will be to bring about a circumstance wherein President Roosevelt can appropri ately tell all of those who have so .faithfully stood by him that he is, or is not, a candidate for a third term. The other phase of congressional activity that will prove interesting links in somewhat with the third term question. It involves the per sonal political fortunes of the repre sentatives and senators who will seek re-election in 1933. It is easy to see how many Democrats, if they know definitely that President Roosevelt will seek a third term, will want to ride again on the New Deal wagon. It is equally easy to understand how some of them, de sirous of observing the tradition that no man shall serve more than two terms as President, may want to take a stand opposing the course if President Roosevelt decides that way. This condition leads far afield. I am informed, for instance that some senators and representatives who 'have been back home in con servative sections of the country want to dodge further support of the New Deal. This class obviously is biding its time for something to happen to justify a jump. Announce ment by Mr. Roosevelt of intention to be a candidate for. the third time would provide the reason. The con verse is true, as well, for there are those in the house and senate who have found the President’s personal popularity at home as great as ever and they are looking for an excuse to sound off that they believe in the Roosevelt policies 100 per cent and want him to have a third term. The election results in various parts of the country will have some influence on the attitude of repre sentatives and senators as the ses sion continues. Take the vote in Arkansas, for example. Representa tive Miller won the senatorship in succession to the late Senator Joe Robinson.. His victory was over Governor' Bailey, who announced that the New Deal was for him and that his defeat would be a slap at President Roosevelt. It is a fact that New Dealers were pulling for him—but Representative Miller was elected. That is just a sample. The sena tors and representatives are going to interpret such elections in the light of sentiment in their own baili wicks. Undoubtedly, some are going to show more spunk in behalf of the New Deal while others have come back determined to foster their ideas of Democratic principles rather than those of New Deal.* • « This date being what it'is, I want to record a tribute in these columns, a tribute to a Tribute grand public serv- to H aliey 'ant who never has sought publicity for himself nor claimed the credit that is due him. For, it was 40 years ago this week that Col. Ed* win -A. Halsey, Of Tye River, Va., entered the employ of the senate. Now, he occupies the post of secre tary of the senate,' the highest avail able outside of senate membership. The senate never-convenes but that I am again impressed with the smoothness of the senate organiza tion under “Eddie” Halsey’s direc tion. . I truly believe him to be the best informed man at the Capitol on legislative procedure. As his col ored messenger once said to me: Yessahl- De cunnel he suah do know his stuff.” And that goes for Colonel Halsey’s political acumen, too. He has performed the chores of the Demo cratic side of the senate to every body’s satisfaction. I suppose some of tiie senators who like to be re garded as big ghots: won’t care for this exposure, but I have seen them saved from unnumbered mistakes that would have made them the laughing stock of their constituen cies. Day after day, in season and out, “Eddie” Halsey has done more for the Democratic senators than they " can‘ ever repay. He ought to be called “the Sage of Tye River,!’ as his !counsel warrants that de scription. i The state of - Virginia could do itself a good turn if it. kept “Eddie” Halsey in mind for some thing higher. ■:<©W estern N ew spaper V nif a.

Nervous disor ders are tin a rapid increase, even among children. The condition pre vails in the country as well as in the city, although it is aggravated in metropolitan centers. Let .us lay down the burdens of the universe for a bit and counsel quietly about that almost forgotten Christian virtue, rest. Nowhere can the troubled spirit find calm of'soul as surely and as quickly as in God’s Word—and in the Chie revealed there, for true rest is I. Found in Christ (Matt. 11:28- 30). Rest for our souls is found not in the cessation of activity, but rather in joining with Christ as our yoke fellow and in going on with him in meekness and lowliness of heart. Most of life's restlessness is the re sult of pride, of driving ambition to be somebody or to attain something. True humility removes all such dis turbing factors. But we do have a yoke and a bur den to bear. Yes, it is true that not all is easy in the Christian life. But as someone has suggested, the bur dens are like the burden of feathers on a bird. They may seem to be too heavy for his little body, but as a matter of fact they are the thing he flies with! Such are the “burdens” of Christ. H. Received by Faith (Heb. 4:3). Those who believe enter into rest. Faith in God through Jesus Christ brings a man into an abiding place that the storms of life may beat upon but can never move. Fair weather followers of Jesus who fall into a frenzy of fear and worry when sorrow or loss comes upim them need to Ieam to walk by faith. “Be not dismayed whate’er betide, God will take care of you,” is more than the pious expression of a hymn writer, it is a statement of fact. III. Rejected by Unbelief (Heb. 4:1, 6-11). “The worst thing in the world” is unbelief — because it effectually closes the door to God’s blessing. Jesus could not do “many mighty works” in his home town of Nazareth “because of their unbelief” (Matt. 13:58). Unbelief will keep us from the rest that God has prepared for his people, for it not only hinders men from coming to the Saviour, but'keeps them from resting in him after they are saved. IV. Necessary to Useful laving (v. 11). Only when-the follower of Christ appropriates that rest of soul which results from turning from his own efforts and trusting himself fully to Christ will there be that absolute surrender of every detail and prob lem of life to him which will bring out In daily living the glorious beau ty and power of a life at rest with God. A poem by Fay Inchfawn which has blessed the writer’s soul is here passed on, with the prayer that it may help you who read these notes: WeQ, I am done. My nerves were on the rack.I’ve laid them down today;It was the last straw broke the camel's back.I've laid that down today.No, rn not -fume, nor fuss, nor fight; rn walk by faith a bit and not by sight,I think the universe win work all right. I’ve laid it down today. So, here and now. the overweight, the worry, rn lay it down today;The all-too-anxious heart; the tearing hurry; I’U lay these down today.0 eager hands, O feet so prone to run,1 think that He who made the stars and sun Can mind the things you’ve had to leaveundone'.Do lay them down today.”. How true it is that we are prone to bear all the burdens of the uni verse when God’s Word has told us to cast all our care upon Him, for He careth for us (I Pet. 5:7). It is a powerful testimony for Christ when distraught and worry-ridden non-Christians see God’s children walking steady and true in the midst of disappointments, trials, and sor rows. And the opposite is also true, that failure to trust God is a prac tical denial of our professed faith.

And no doubt "Cactus JACK” has been emboldened by his own hardy naturalness and by reason, also, of tbe confusion of the times to approach the Whit^ House, not with fear and trembling, but with a sincere purpose to give the President such homely counsel as he feels may be required in the premises. Within tbe last few days has emerged the report of another con fab, between the Vice Presidentand the President in which Mr. Garner is quoted as having said this to Mr. Roosevelt Well, you better talk some more with the boys in the trenches and find out what really is going on,” Cactus Jack” is credited with saying to tbe President in a very sympathetic manner.

Gambling An Ignoble End. Four years ago, Horace King of Waltbamston, England, won $84 - 00Q on a Sweepstake ticket, which c >*t him $2.50 in cash'and Iaterbis friends, his happiness and bis life from alcoholism. . Dr. P. B. Skeel, coroner of tbat city said following an inquest over King’s body, that tbe dead man had “entirely lost his head as a re sult of winning so much money.” His former employer stated tbat King’s winnings caused bis whole nature to change from mirthfulness and goodfellowship to moroseness and to an attitude of suspicion to ward everyone. Thus it is of gambling: In its pursuit the mind is taken from the wholesome and spiritual to tbe sor did and material things of life If the pursuit results in a windfall, tbe pursuer ofter dies an ignoble death or, in the quest of more winnings, loses all. Warns On Gambling In Churches During their recent fall session, members of the Brooklyn-Nassan (N. Y.) Presbytery condemned gambling as a means of raising church funds. A report. of the Committee on Social Education and Action, read by the Rev. Phillips Packer Elliott of the First Peesbyterian Church of Brooklyn, warned against the danger of .yielding ideals' for the sake of an income which . seems to be available in no other way. * * * Some churches and societies resort to gambling devices, and the con tagion is hard for our people to re sist.

In this connection, the Grand Master said that one. oi the deep-rooted prin ciples1 of Freemasonry is obedience to the laws of the country in which individual Masons reside.

It is a world-wide demand for cotton. It is a world necessity and the demand will in crease each year. But our export^ cotton nas been falling off fort^flfe last seven years. If we do hot pro. diice it and export it to the markets of the world, other countries will. The soil, climate and labor bf a large section of the United States is better suited to the production of cotton than any other prrd JCt. Therefore, we should have been held our export market and to have increased pro duction each year sufficient to meet all increased demands. During tbe last decade the annual world consumption of cotton has a* veraged 25.000.000 bales per year The demand now has increased to 35.000,000 bales. Eight years ago we produced over 60 per cent of this cotton. Lastyearweproduced less than 40 per cent, and our export cotton fell off even a greater.* per cent. . . Seven years ago we exported 8 * 227,000 bale* of cotton. The world demands for eotton has increased each year since, and our export of cotton should have -increased to at least 13 000,000 bales, but, to the contrary, our export of cotton has fallen off each year until last year we exported only 5 500,000 bales. This means that under the present false policies, we will export much less this year and that American cot ton will soon disappear from all the markets of the world. - This national calamity is not due to wind nor weather, nor to any na* tional causes.. It is entirely due to the false and stupid policy of trying to artifically increase the price of co t in. It was begun by the Farm Board under the former Adminis tration, in attempting to peg the price of cottin much above the world market price demand. This was done with borrowed money which was wholly wasted, because it could never be repaid from the sale I of such cotton and which there force accomplished no good, but which be came an added mortgage on the backs of our already over burdened taxpayers. - President Roosevelt in his first campaign denounced that policy and promised a sound and constructs progrom to restore prosperity to Agriculture But he began by fol lowing the same false and fatuous policy of trying artificially to stimp late prices by offering to pav the farmers a bonus out of public funds to plow under one-third of the grow ing cotton crop. This Administrar tion next offered to pay cur farmers in the future a cash bonus for the staple crops which they would agree not to prdice. This unsound and foolish policy has encouraged every foreign country, which could not compete with us before, to begin the production of cotton, which cot ton has undersold us in the world, ‘and this has destroyed our valuable foreign markets. It has kept our land and labor idle and has given a profit to foreign land and labor. Be. aides these artifically .; stimulated prices has greatly increased the cost of living arid' has reduced domestic consumption and ha3 reduced do me3tic consumption and has also in creased taxes. Even the subsidized farmer who in receiving this, bonus money cannot buy now as much he could before; he knows' that this policy is false and ruinous. When the Administration sent out a refer endum vote on this matter, one- fourth of thnae who are receiving this bonus money voted against ccn tinuing such a ruinous policy. Every intelligent vealthproduc- er knows tbat tbe only possible wa> to recover the markets which wi have lost is to produce cotton cheap er. There i3 a simple and sure wa.\ to do that. Our government can and should lend its credits to the cotton-farmer at a very low rate oi interest, so he can operate on a cash basis. This will enable the farmer to produce cotton at a cost of five 01 six cents a pound, which cotton can be sold in foreign markets at a pro fits, if sold gradually to nnet world demands. The price at which cotton sells is low. enough to leave a living profits. It is more important to sell at seven or eight cents a tound cot ton which cost fi e or six cents a pound to produce than to sell for 12 cents when it cents when it- cost 10 cents to produce. The government when making such cash advance; can j take a ben 01 the cotton produced and agree not to dump the whole crop on the mark et at once, but to sell,the same gra dually to meet foreign and domestic demand. But the Government can and should also agree to make the next crop on a cash basis, and ther to sell approximately one-twelfth oi each month and settle with him at the end of the. year on an average price which all the cotton so beld had brought and_pay fo' him all above the advances made, and the cost oi marketing the same. Thus the farnr er would be freed from the clutches of middlemen and speculators and rui,n$jis time prices and high rates of interest; he v?ould be put on a caah basiB and.: get the highest aver» age price for the whole year. We no.wJend monejKat a very, low rate of interest to shipbuilders to enable us to ship cotton. and other export crops-under the American flag, but they are not making money because we havedestroyed ourexport mark ets and have ruinously increased tbe cost of living. Therefore we should loan the public credit to our cotton products at the same rate, or even lower, so that we can produce more cotton each year, which can be sold at a profit in ai! the markets of tbe world. And if it shall be necessary for a few years, to meet the foreign competition, which has been grow ing for the last seven years, then it will be good business to pay our farmers a small. export}bountry until we can recover our IostJ foreign markets. Of course Congress will authorize the creation of a National Cooper ative and Export Commission with a revolving fond to carry out the above purpose, In fact, we should provide a separate Agricultural credit, or banking system to facilitate such -a program. Obviously, our commer cial banking system istotally unsuit ed to the needs of Agriculture. Such a conservative policy will enable us without costing the taxpayer a single dollar, to recover not only the IoSt export markets, but also to produce at a profit all of the 35.000 000 bales of cotton now consumed bv the world and even twice that amotiAt when there is demand for the !same. This will be sound production ahd profitable distribusion; it will be s>und constructive marketing and will save the producers millions of dollars each year It will also be of great value to our domestic consum ers, because they will be able to biiy cotton goods at a much lower price. Such a constructive policy as to cotton is equally applicable to wheat, tobacco, beaf and pork, and to all other staple export crops and pro ducts. all of which are suffering from the same cause as cotton. Indeed, we are today importing the staple crops and products which we former ly exported to the profit of our pro* ducersand to the profit of the whole country. . During the first six months of this vear we imported, wheat, oats, rye, tobacco, Fegetahle oils, beef, pork ■*nd other staple crops and products co th* value of $1,151,038 222, all of which we could and should have pro duced. During the same time our total exports fell to the pitiful sum uf only $435,099,365, when we shoulh navs exported ten times this amount. L*ut this Is only a part of the bitter fruit of sued an unsound policy. Out ing the last seven years through gigantic spending and waste which has not primed the New Deal recov ery pump, we have seen $22 000,000,- 000 added to the national debt, which iir.ount is so frightful that it is a menace to our public credit, ,and which stands in tbe way of future prosperity. This is.a most perilous, situation and one which calls, loudly for the atteution of Congress before snacting another emergency scarcity and subsidy program. The sane, sound and constructive policy suggested for cotton will re store all of our tost foreign markets and put the balance of trade again in our favor; it will obviously put Agriculture on a soui;d economical basis and insure'permanent; pros perity. Indeed, it will belp bur (al ready damaged public credit, -Be sides, it will stop at once the present orgy of wild and reckless spending of public funds and will remove the threatened spectre of bankruptcy and repudiation With this done, a large increase in all craps and pro tects will not be a calamity,! but. will oe a national blessiiig. Indeed, .the iarger the production of wealth; of all kinds, the better. . This is the only way to restore the old and true American policy of plenty and pros perity. Ashe Turkey*.

C. . 7 W I T H B A N N E R S \ i . / CHAPTER XTV-Continued -21- Jerry Field was breathless from the effort of shaking off congratula tory hands which had tried to detain him. “Changing her sandals at Lookwik House. I’ve got to speak to you. Trent! Quick!” Relief stopped the thumping of Mark Trent’s heart. Had Brooke married Field, would he be here? He would not. He turned to Kowa still standing beside him and asked in a voice he had difficulty In keeping steady: "Is anyone in-the print room?" The Jap disappeared and returned with incredible speed. “No person there, sir.” Mark spoke in a low tone to Jerry Field: “Slip into the room back of the stairs. Sam, tell the musicians to play something loud and gay; then join us. Now that we know Brooke is safe, Mrs. Gregory—” “Mrs. Gregory is coming with us,” Jed Stewart interrupted. Even with the door of the room closed, the beat and rhythm of the music outside set the air within vi brating. A cheery lire crackled on the hearth. Incredibly long-stemmed Templar roses in a tall vase made a splash of gorgeous crimson against the neutral tinted walls hung with Japanese prints, scented the air with their spicy fragrance. Mrs. Gregory resisted the seductive depth of a large chair and sat erect on the edge. “What’s happened? What’s hap pened?” she demanded testily. “Wait a minute. Thought I heard something.” Field pulled aside the hangings at the window and peered out; Jed Stewart on his toes looked over his shoulder. “Yep, there they go. Police are no respecters of supper parties." Jerry Field drew the hangings close and returned to the mantel. The lighter he held to his cigarette was not quite steady. “Now, folks, listen to my bedtime story.” For an instant there was no sound in the still room save the purr of the fire and the tap of a snowy vine against a window. Then it seemed to Mark Trent that the woman in the deep chair, Sam Rey- burn with his elbow resting on one corner of the low bookshelves, Jed Stewart backed against the door as if to barricade it, stopped breath ing as Field told how Brooke had commandeered his roadster and himself to take her across the causeway, of the reason she had given for her going, of her suspi cion that the man she called the Bath Crystal Bandit might be serv ing as waiter at the party because of interest in the jewels of one of the guests. Mrs. Gregory instinctively put one hand to her tiara and one of the blazing plastron at her breast. “I suppose you mean mine. W-when did they in-intend to take them?” she quavered.Mark Trent crossed the room. He sat on the arm of her chair and put his hand on her shoulder. “Steady, Empress, they can’t get them now. Go on, Field. Then you and Brooke are not married?” “Married! No such luck. Didn’t I make that clear? Brooke told 'that yam to avert suspicion from our get-away. Do you think I’d be here if we were married?” There was a glint of steel in his eyes as they met Mark Trent’s. “Where was I—oh yes. We made headquarters in record tim e. Brooke told her story. Yoiir kitch en, Trent, was the scene of the neatest, quickest clean-up in the history of crime in this state, I’ll bet. No, don’t go. Inspector Har rison sent special instructions to you to keep things moving here so that the news of the arrests wouldn’t get out until he had the men safely in jail. Sorry to report that you’ve lost your chauffeur, Mrs. Gregory;” “Dominique! N ot Dominique? He’s been with me for years. Why have I lost him?” “He’s been taken along for ques tioning. The inspector didn’t have time to go into it here.. The Jacques at Lookout House also are being personally conducted to headquar ters. Quite a party, if you ask me. I didn’t hear much, but your man Dominique, Mrs. Gregory, was to have engine trouble on the way home. While he tinkered, you were to be relieved of your jewels.” Anne Gregory’s face was gray; it dropped into sagging lines, her mouth quivered childishly. Suddenly she was an old defeated woman. “Isn’t there anyone in the world I can trust?” she whimpered. Mark Trent moved closer to her. “Of course there’s someone you can trust, you have Brooke .and Sam, Jed and me, and—” “Don’t forget me,” Jerry Field Interrupted. “Now, who’s come?’/ h" qutfried.The low quick knocking ’ at the door was repeated. Jed Stewart opened it cautiously and let' in a drift of dance music and Lucette. Her lips were startlingly red in contrast to the whiteness of her face. The rhinestone straps which held iip what there was of the back of the bodice of her pale blue frock' sent out a million or two iridescent sparks. She caught the lapel of Mark Trent’s coat as he took c quick step toward her. "They’re whispering outside that Brooke and ‘ Jerry Held have eloped. It isn’t so, is it? Brooke wouldn’t—” ^ 4 B y E m ilie Lozing CEmUl*t>ortn(. wwu Service. Mark Trent turned her by the shoulders (hat she might see Jerry Field Htahding by the mantel. He saw the look in the girl’s eyes, saw something in the man's spring up to meet it. He felt the quiver that ran through her body, felt the ef fort she made to overcome it as she said flippantly: “News flash! Elopbig bridegroom returns without lovely brid e. Where’s Brooke, Jerry?” “Changing her wet sandals at Lookout House." “Wet sandals! Where has she been?” “She’ll be here in a minute and tell you herself, Lucette. Better go back to the party,” Mark Trent sug gested. “lie New York producer and the Boston manager are still here, aren’t they? We’re depending on you to see that they have the time of their lives.” “Boy, when Brooke didn’t appear, I forgot those bozos, forgot that we’d had a play.” With his hand on the knob of the door, Sam stopped. “Come along, Lucette.” Lucette caught Field’s arm. “Come with us, Jerry, and stop the rumor that you and Brooke have eloped; also we’ll let people tell us what hits we were in ‘Islands Arise.’ ” “Suppose we go back to the par ty,” Mark Trent suggested, and of fered his arm to Mrs. Gregory.As Mark Trent stepped back that Mrs. Gregory might precede him “Sorry to Report That You've Lost Xour Chauffeur, Mrs. Gregory.” into the hall, Jed Stewart caught his arm. ' “Just a minute, fella!” He low ered his voice. “The inspector wants us. to wait up until he gets here, no matter if he doesn’t come till daylight.” Mark nodded assent. The throb of. a harp, the singing of the vio lins, the quaver of the horns, the brooding of the obie’were muted to a caressing minor, heart-breakingly sweet, as he piloted Mrs. Gregory to a throne-like chair in the hall. He left her and went in search of the New York producer. It required considerable finesse to evade clam orous friends. Even as he acknowl edged praise of his acting, congratu lations on the party, he was thinking what a queer, aching, vivid thing love was, with its ecstasy, its inevitable misunderstandings, its quarrels, and he wondered why he braised his heart against Brooke’s dislike, wondered if she would ever forgive him for that kiss. At least he— “Mark! Mark!” - Before he had a chance to evade her, Daphne Field flung a bare arm about his.neck. “Dance with me, please! Mark! Mark! You must .love me!” The girl’s voice caught in a sob as she pressed against him. Too annoyed to answer,' he put his arm about her to guide her out of the room. As he toned he saw Brooke Reybura standing directly behind her. There was a curious light in her eyes, a mocking smile oh her lips. Even as Brooke smiled and ac cepted congratulations on the suc cess of her brother’s play, did her best to entertain the New York pro ducer who attached himself to her from the moment Sam presented him, she was asking herself impa tiently: “Will the party never end? Who stole that paper from my desk? Can I make Mark Trent understand why I held it back? If it is lost, will he. ever forgive me?” But all parties end. The last of the guests, with Mrs. Gregory care fully tucked into , their limousine, drove off in a flood of' moonlight which transformed the world into an enchanted land of dazzling pur ity. Theproducerandmanagerleft in a powerful car after hearty hand shakes with Sam and a backward look at Brooke as she stood between her brother and Mark Trent in the hall. Except for the . Reybuhisf the Fields were the last .to go. She drew an unsteady breath , of relief when the front door had shut out the brother and sister. They were outlanders in the present situ* ation. She couldn’t have told her story before them, and she must' tell: it quickly; that will must be found. Sie wanted Lucette and Sam to hear what she had to tell Mark Trent and Jed'Stewart; the sooner they knew of the change In her for tune, the better. Mark Trent linked his arm in Sam’s. ' “D.on’t wig-wag the let’s-go signal at the girls, maestro. Jed Imd I can’t let you off yet. Come into the library. Half the fun of a party is talking it over. I told Kowa to bring in some eats. I doa’t believe you Reyburns ate a mouthful of sup per; you were too busy receiving congratulations. I’m starving my self." Sam grinned. “Now that you call the. matter to my attention, I could toy with a Bt- tie food. Come on, Brooke." Lucette was curled up against the pillows in a corner of the library couch hugging her knees, when they entered. Stewart was backed up to the mantel. The girl’s eyes were brilliant, her cheeks were pink, the voice in which she greeted them was bumpy from excitement: “Come in, folks, and hear Jed tell me how good I was. He pre dicts that I would be an overnight sensation on Broadway.” “Snap out of that idea and snap out of it quick.” “Don’t growl, .Master Reybum; he has been handing bouquets to the play too. I done you wrong, Sam my, when I crabbed about the last minute changes you made in the script; they were the high lights. Where’s Jerry?” Mark Trent answered Lucette’* question. “He and Daphne have gone home. You put it all over the other women in the cast of 'Islands Arise,’ Lu- cette.” “She was a knockout and so was the leading woman,” Sam agreed, “but, if you want to know who had the New York producer eating out of her hand, it was our little sister Brooke. After she arrived—trust a Reyburn to realize the' dramatic value of a late entrance—I couldn’t •pry him away from her; lucky I got my option before she appeared. What were you saying to him, Brooke?" “We talked theater fast and furi ously. It was a wonder, that I could think of anything but the near escape the party had from a hold up.” Kowa entered with his quick cat like tread. His eyes sparkled like black diamonds as he set a Chinese teapoy of red and gold lacquer be side each chair. “Boy, I’m tired! I fed all in,” Sam confessed. “It’s reaction, and I’ll bet you haven’t eaten for hours and hours.” Mark Trent spoke to Kowa as he returned with a laden tray. “Serve Mr. Sam first. Here you are, maestro.” Sam’s grin was swift and a trifle sheepish. “I’m all right, m’lad; slumped for a minute, that’s all.” “Don’t apologize," Lucette mim icked. “I’m not apologizing. I’m ex plain—” Sam broke off with a grim ace at his sister. “Humorous, aren’t you, kiddo? Fuss over Brooke, Mark, she needs it more than I. What with bracing me every time I got cold feet about ‘Islands Arise’ and getting dragged into the crime wave, she’s had a hectic time since she came to Lookout House to live— I’ll take another shot at those rolls, Kowa-I don’t wonder she has de cided to trek back to the town apart ment. What will we do' with the parrot when we go, Brooke?” Brooke felt her.color rise in re sponse to the flash in Mark Trent’s eyes as they met hers reflected in the great mirror. This was aS]good an opening as any she could bring about to tell the story of the paper Henri had produced. She rose and stood behind her chair. “We won’t have to consider the parrot, Sam. Mr. Micawber has gone.” ’‘Gone!” Sam and Lucette chor used. ‘Did his make another get-away, or has Henri kidnaped him?” “Neither, Sam. He’s in his cage, just a heap of green feathers.” “Poor old duffer. He hasn’t had any pep since the night he took off in a hop for freedom. I liked that bird. Something’s always taking the joy out of life.” “Cheerio, Master Reyburn, you still have your option,” Lucette re minded. “Why can’t we move to town tomorrow? No more commut ing! What a break! I suppose you'll dose Lookout House, Brooke?” Brooke tried to force a gay note into her voice: “I’ll close Lookout House, Lu cette, because I have accepted an offer—”The sentence trailed off as Inspec tor Bill Harrison strode into the room. “Well, Mark, I got It!” •/Got ‘it’I You’re too modest. In spector, you got the whole gang, I understand" “Cripes, I'm not talking about those dirty'Uiugs1 Mark. That isn’t what I cams for. I got the will you was telling me about.” (TO BE CONTINVEDl WHO'S MEWS THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Parton Capt. Carter Agarn Seek* VihJieation Changed His Suits Four . Times a Day IWIWIWIWHHWW "MEW YORK.—Oberlin M. Carter, eighty-one years old, again appeals to the Supreme court in his incessant fight of 39 years for re admission to the army and the voiding of the court-martial ver dict which sent him to prison for fraud. Powerful influence has backed'the former captain and his friends call him “the American Dreyfus.” The cu e against him, on charges of fraud involving many millions, was one of the notorious scandals of the McKinley administration. He had been in charge of river and har bor reclamation at Savannah. Handsome, gifted, of a distin guished family, Captain Carter was second in scholarship only to Robert E. Lee in aU the history of West Point. A newspaper account of March, 1889, reveals him at Savan nah just before the turn of his for tunes: “Captain Carter was an exceed- ingly popular man in club circles and among his numerous female ac quaintances. He was polished in his manner, exceedingly cordial to all and ran toward the rapid set. He was a very fashionable dresser. “He generally appeared in three or four suits of clothes daily and never failed to don his evening suit for dinner. In the morning he wore his business suit, but by lunch time he appeared in his bicycle suit. After taking a spin about the principal streets of Sa vannah for a couple of hours, he next appeared in his driving suit. Late in the afternoon, he would ap pear in his riding suit. “In the yachting season, he was far in the lead of other followers of the water. He had seven distinct ways of shaking hands.” The quick-change record, or the hand-shaking or something upped him to the job of helping man the teacups at the American embassy in London. As he prepared to leave Savannah, there were routs, assem blies, fetes and army blow-outs to honor him on his departure. Seeing him off at the boat was Commander E. Gillette, a salty, weather-beaten old sea dog. Cap tain Carter’s gush of affection em barrassed him. The captain insist ed that the commander make use of his house. The old commander was inclined to suspect over-generous. persons. He pondered the captain’s conduct and then went to the office of the engineering corps. On a map, he saw a retaining wall of masonry spotted up as having been built at a cost of $7,000,000. .Then he strolled down the river, looking for the walL It wasn% there. He kept on exploring. He reported to the war office that $7,000,000 had been spent for nothing more than marks on paper.* • • T HE courts awarded to Mrs. Mat thew Astor Wilks, daughter of Hetty Green, the entire estate of her' brother, the late Col. Edward H. R. Green, estimated as between $60,000,000 and $80,000,000. This, with a similar amount'inherited from her mother, and the fortune bequeathed by her husband, makes her, accord ing to aH current estimates, the richest' woman in the world. She is much like her mother. Six ty-six years old, she lives in an un pretentious house on “Electric hill,” in Greenwich, Conn., with a few servants and a ten-year-old collie dog named Prince—as did her moth er in her later years. And like her mother, she does her own market ing, driving to town every day or two in a small car.* • . The late Matthew Astor Wilks was a great-grandson of John Jacob As- tor. When they were married in 1909, in her moth er’s flat in Hobo ken, Hetty Green was quoted by the newspapers as saying to the groom: “Matthew, you are sixty-five years old and you have the gout. Some day my girl is going to have $5,000 a day. I want to be sure that she is marrying a man who will help her take care of her money.” " She has managed nicely. If her $160,000,000 is bringing 3 per cent, that’s not $5,000 but $13,178.10 a day. For twenty-seven years she has lived in the house near Greenwich. Her husband died in 1926. Her for tune consists of many blocks of real estate in St. Louis, Boston and New York and railroad and other securi ties. She has no box at the opera, assumes no grandeur of the reigning dowager and lets Greenwich—highest per capita^ wealth in America—run itself without her aid.

The professor gave .out one of the paraphrases often used on such occasions. nLet 11s,” he said, “sing from the second verse, 'As sparks in dose succession rise.’ ” To his consternation he observed that the congregation seemed un able to repress a giggle. Afterwards, asking the minis ter’s man what had been wrong, he received the reply, “You see, the minister’s name is Sparks.” Gift of Humor T HAD rather be strong, af- 1 fectionate, loyal, noble minded, than be the best hu morist in the world, yet if the gift of humor be added to these graces, you .have .a combina tion that is. absolutely irresist ible, because you have a ,'per fect -sense of proportion -that never allows emotion to degen erate into gush or virtue into rigidity. Thus I say that humor is a kind of divine and crowning grace in a character, because it means an artistic sense of proportion, a true and vital tol erance, a power of infinite for giveness.—Arthur Benson.

Five years ago this couutry was expoittng more goods than they were importing. Today the tables have been turned and we are bny ing more goods from foreign na tions than they are buying from ns J ust so long as this condition exists, the people are not going to enjoy much prosperity. ^ We know a few folks who have \b e c n living so long on the federal, State and county government with- r out doing any work, they have be come too darned lazy to do a de cent day’s work.

PicLutd SUMMARIZES THE WORLDSUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK 6 Western Newcpaper Vnloo. Trade Treaty with Britain TN WASHINGTON and London it was officially announced that the United States and Great Britain had agreed to negotiate a reciprocal trade treaty, which has been sought by Secretary of State Hull ever since he started his recipro cal program in 1934. The negotiations are expected to - begin before the- dose of the year.. American admin istration officials be* . _ _ Ueve such a pactSecretary HnH may jea(j to a com mercial union of all Englisdirqpeak-. . ing peoples" and will b ea' powerful influence in preserving world peace. London looks upon it as an in strument to form a front which all nations may enter later on condi tions of most-favored-nations reci procity, and therefore as an indi rect reply to the new German- Italian-Japanese alliance. Principles said to be already agreed upon provide that Great Britain would receive reduced American tariffs on textiles and coal. In return she would grant the United States lower tariffs on food stuffs, certain raw materials, iron and steel and other essentials, of a rearmament program. Immediate opposition to the pro posed pact developed among the statesmen in Washington. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, Democratic whip, protested against any British accord until the Eng lish pay off their defaulted war debt to the United States. He called the proposed pact “trade treason.” . Senator Henry. Cabot Lodge, Massachusetts Republican, served notice he would sponsor a resolu tion halting negotiation of all new trade treaties until congress, can determine whether they are respon sible for the current business re cession. I Bepresentative Allen Treadway, 'Massachusetts Republican, de nounced the proposed treaty as cer tain to prove disastrous to Amer ican business. He warned it would throw “more Americans.out of their jobs.” —*— Governors Ask Tax Repeal G o v ern o rs of the six New England states, in conference in Boston, adopted resolutions se verely criticizing the tax and tariff ■policies of the administration. They demanded repeal of the capital gains tax and the tax on undistrib uted corporate profits, and de nounced the pending reciprocal trade agrM*nent with Czechoslo vakia as imperiling the jobs of thousands of, American citizens. The governors who took this ac tion were "Lewis O. Barrows, Re publican, Maine; F. P.' Murphy, Re publican, New Hampshire; George D. Aiken, Republican, Vermont; Charles F. Hurley, Democrat, Massachusetts; Wilbur L. Cross, Democrat, Connecticut, and Robert E. Quinn1Oemocrat; Rhode Island. Plotters Alarm France FRANCE was 'in a great dither " over an alleged plot of the Cagou- lards or “ hooded ones,” and other rightist groups to overthrow the re publican government. The secret po lice have been making many ar rests and have uncovered secret arsenals and depots of the conspira tors. Among the men they seized was Jean de la Meuse, wealthy tex tile manufacturer.of Paris. Intheir pursuit -of the plotters the police went as far as Switzerland, per- . suading the government . of that country to.oust the count of Paris, who would be heir apparent of the throne of France if there were any longer such an institution. He had been holding conferences with roy alists. v A fter Labor Racketeers FOR four months Eliot Ness, the 1 young safety director of Cleve land, Ohio, has been investigating labor racketeering in Cleveland^ es- — pecially in the build ing trades, and then he made a report Of his findings that re sulted in a special session of the Cuya hoga county grand jury to hear the stories of scores of business men who allegedly have been terrorized by labor iriw uniOn officials. NessEhot Ness said these men were prompted, to volunteer their infor mation, because,of- the . security of fered them and the knowledge that many others were prepared to tes tify. In addition to protests from busi ness men that they were being shak en down, Ness also had numerous complaints from rank and file union men that their leaders had obtained dictatorial control of the unions and had used it for racketeering purposes. This resulted in hundreds of men being thrown out of work, impeded legitimate business, and kept hun dreds of thousands of dollars in new industries out of the city, the Ness report was said to have stated. At a meeting of the Cleveland Federation of Labor, Don A. Camp bell, president of the Painters’ Dis trict council, who had been men tioned in connection with theinves- tigation, called the entire case “a lot of newspaper propaganda which has been passed around since the labor movement began,” and added that “it's high time this stuff was stopped.” —■*— HarrisonBacksWater PREVENTED from considering the pending government reorgan ization measure by a filibuster against the anti-lynching bill, the senate engaged in a lot of talk about tax revision. Pat Har rison, chairman of the senate finance Committee, a fte r conferring with Sec retary Morgenthau, declared that addi tional revenue to compensate f o r modification of the undistributed, profits tax could be raised Senator only by broadening Harrison the income tax base or by a gen eral manufacturers’ sales tax. Mention of a sales tax aroused Senator Borah and others, and the Idahoan prodded Harrison until he backed down and said he did not quite mean what he-had said. “If, in the revision of the tax laws, we should lose some revenue, I do not believe, with the spending program that is now going on, that we would help business,” Harrison told the senate. “I think the goal should be to try to balance the budget at the first opportunity. I believe the wise way to do it is to curtail some of the emergency ex penditures.” Harrison proposed a return to' the old normal income tax on corpora tions and, if necessary, to increase the rate to 18 or 20 per cent instead of the former' maximum of 15 Vt per cent.• — Bullet Kills Howard Coffin U OWARD E.

But, alongside the present sports broadcasters, Graham’s wildest flight would sound like the dulcet twit ters of a timid love bird as compared with the last rav ings of John McCul lough. Coaches brag of the lowered percent age of serious foot ball accidents this fall. But oh, think of the radio descrip- tionists who’ll wind Irvin S. Cobb up the season suffering from nervous ;. exhaustion, wrecked vocal chords, violent rush of loud words to the mouth, com plete collapse, even madness. You’ll be passing the rest cure sanitarium, and, as the windows burst outward, you’ll hear pouring forth something like this: “Oh boy, boy! with one tremen dous burst, Irish Goldberg is jam ming his way from the red back line right through the black inter ference! Nothing can stop him I” But don’t get worked up. What you hear is merely a convalescent microphone orator mentioning a checker game between two fellow- inmates and reverting to form.• * * Virtues in Snakes. COMETHINGI said recently about the folly of killing every snake on sight, without investigating the snake’s-character, brought a flock of letters from readers who don’t like snakes. Even a so-called venomous snake may have his better side. In Kan sas, in the old local option days, you could get a drink only on a doc tor’s prescription, excepting in case of 'direveriiergency, such asa snake bite. • So every properly run -drug store kept a rattlesnake on the premises to serve the citizenry. Aiid the only time a drug store rattler ever refused to bite a thirsty stran ger was when he was all worn out from' accommodating the regular local trade.And what though it was a snake that led Eve astray in the garden of Eden? He may have brought sin into the world, but wouldn’t we have missed a lot of spicy reading mat ter in newspapers if he hadn’t? Yep, I plead guilty to thinking an occasional charitable thought for any decimated and vanishing group. I feel that way about old line Re publicans and mustache cups and red woolen pulse-warmers. • • • . Political Predictions. W E TAKE the opportunity to.an nounce that the Literary Dt gest, or rather its journalistic suc cessor, will not conduct a poll on next year’s congressional and state elections. The burnt child dreads the poll. Let others go around taking straw votes, but, the way the Digest folks feel now and, in fact, have felt ever since last November, they wouldn’t start 'a canvass to prove that two and two make four. Because, look here—what if it should turn out that two and two merely make some more Marx brothers or a double set of Siamese twins? Anyhow, the business of basing cocksure predictions on half-cocked estimates doesn’t seem to be flour ishing these days. Figtffes don’t lie, but the citizens who furnish the figures may do so, either uninten tionally or just for the sake of a laugh. The rise of candid camerasa- tionalizing—say, we just thought up that word—proves that a photo graph of things as they are is mightier than a lot of loose sta tistics predicated on what the vot ers may or may not do—and prob ably won’t, when the time comes. * * * Forgotten Stars. ANCE interviewers clamored for ^ a hearing and her face was on half the magazine covers and her name in letters of flaming Ught above all the marquees.

Spell it, please.” She is all through, ,all washed up. But, like the deaf husband whose wife has slipped, will be the last person in town to hear the news. Having traveled a road' which is sues mighty few round-trip -tickets, she still dreams of a come-back. She>;is the most tragic and the most pitiable figure—and one of'the commonest—to be found in this place called Hollywood.

W ■' ■ Digest N a tio n a l T o p ic s In te r p r e te d B y W I L L I A M B R U C K A R T JTt S S i R i I NATIONAL PRtlSS BLDC WASHINGTON, O C' Washington.—“The best laid plans of mice and men” will go oS at a _ tangent, it seems,Congress even when one po- /« Bulky litical party is nu merically in su preme control of the national gov ernment. President Roosevelt called congress into extra, session with very definite objectives outlined, and he repeated them in his regular message on the state of the Union. He wanted crop control legislation for relief of agriculture and he wanted wages and hours controlled by federal statute for the relief of labor. But congress, or a part of it, has turned out to be a balky mule. It has one foot out of the traces already and the driver is having a lot of trouble to keep the animal hitched.. The above is by way of saying that scores of Democratic members of the house and many senators with seats on the majority side have come back, from a summer on the hustings quite convinced that it is not popular with the voters to be a rubber stamp. I do not mean by that statement that the President has lost control of his party machin ery, or that he can not crack the whip and get things done; I mean that instead of having a few recalci trants within his own party to deal with, he now has many, and mem bers of congress are about like coy otes — their courage increases as their number increases. It might be mentioned in passing that at least h.alf a dozen Democratic members of the house have come back from home with plans to run for their party’s nomination to the senate next year. The rea son given by those with whom I have talked is almost the same in each instance. The incumbent sen ator who is up for re-election has been too much of a New Dealer. "Our people are calling for some thing besides rubber stamps.” These potential senatorial ' candi dates have' records showing opposi tion to Uie President in some vitally important New Deal policies while supporting him whole-heartedly in other phases of his program. No one can say how far this movement will get, but anyoSe who has observed congresses perform in other cases where the President was in his second term can not dis miss the circumstance as without significance. It is the usual prac tice for sitting members of the house and senate to stick close to the President, as party leader, in his first term—because they must seek re-election with his support. But now many of them regard Pres ident Roosevelt as through and they are starting early to make their record look .good to the voters whom they will cimvass next year. Tliese few paragraphs above must serve to introduce evidence of a much deeper fact. In many impor tant places and among many power ful or influential men in congress one hears frequent references and observations to this effect: If Mr. Roosevelt is going to retain his con trol of the party and carry through on the propositions which he will make from time to time, he must cast aside a part, at least, of his radical advisers and the schemes they concoct.* • • As I related, the President out lined his objectives for the special session. Two or Different three" years ago, Now they would have been received by the representatives and senators with loud acclaim, with ballyhoo. But in the first few weeks of the ex tra session, there has been just as much condemnation as there has been approval. Nor can we overlook another phase of the situation. Not only have many of the men at the capi- tol declined to affirm the President’s propositions; they have gone in the other direction. They have offered programs of 'their own. They are prepared to battle for them.. In pol itics, that ,sort of a thing often has proved fatal to the plans of the man who then occupied the White House. It may not turn out that way this time but there are many observers are sure the President is going to be forced into accepting some things he did not want or does not want just now. Take the question of taxes, for instance. Rightly or wrongly, the President is being.blamed-for the current business depression and criticism of this sort is rolling up like a snowball going down hill. It' is being said that two tax levies which were forced through congress are largely responsible. The tax on undivided.profits of corporations and the capital gains tax are used as horrible examples of these unsound policieS.-fostered by Mr. Roosevelt. Well,' ■ the' President is • responsible to the extent''that lie approved of tfiefc. They were the product,‘How ever, of some bf the dozen-or so peek-a-boo artists, to whom the President frequently has listened as. advisors. , I think it has been generally dem onstrated that the two taxes in ques tion have, been: ruinous, especially to the small business. Itisequally true, I believe, that business must be given some consideration if it ever is to get on a sound basis again and that it ought to share at tention of legislators with labor leaders even though business has fewer votes. In any event, the bur dens which the New Deal admittedly has placed on business are serving as the springboard for a part of the Democratic majority. They, can properly fight for these things—and easily be too busy to push the Presi dent’s program through. So the President’s plans have gone astray. They may remain that way, or they may go even further, de pending upon how long the back ward slide of-business continues. Of one thing, you may be sure.. Partly through his own fault and partly through the fault of the type of ad visors with which he has surrounded himself, Mr. Roosevelt does not have the confidence of as many members of the legislative branch as he formerly held.* -* • It is a little early to attempt a re port on prospects for the regular session of con- Lookmg gress that con- Forword venes in January.Yet, since it is quite evident there will be nothing in the current extra session beyond crop control legislation—if even that —I believe we might look forward a bit. One of the tilings now evident is the position congress will take on relief for destitute and unemployed. I believe I see a battle coming In that direction. It has been apparent during the last two years that congress was dissatisfied with the relief system built up by Secretary Ickes and the professional reliever, Harry Hop kins, works progress administrator. The requirements,’ especially, for the. Hopkins machine, have been met with what has come to be called “blank check” appropriations. That is, congress has passed a bill ap propriating two billions or three bil lions or whatever was thought nec essary by Mr. Hopkins. It was just as simple as that. Congresshadno strings on the money, seldom was told a great deal of the details. It was money to feed and clothe the destitute. Now, however, some observers think they detect a change. They believe they see signs that congress will put an end to the “blank check” method of handling relief. As far as anyone knows now, the President again will ask for a huge sum.to be distributed for relief through Mr. Hopkins—and that is when the bat tle. lines will form.* • * Congress, therefore, will be faced again with appropriation-demands __ to provide foodm oney and ' clothing and for Relief likely the request for the funds will come from Mr. Roosevelt as here tofore—for a lump sum. If the number favoring the dole grows to any considerable extent, there may be a reversal of policy whether the President wants it that , way or not. You see, in an election year (and all house members and 30-odd sena tors face election canvasses again next year) it is nice to be able to say to the voters that they are re ceiving ,something, at the hands of their, representative or their sena tor. The candidates can justify, a break with the President easily, and with business sliding backward as is the case now, there will be plenty of relief needed for unemployed again. The voters can be told that they are being given charge of these relief expenditures and that they no longer will have to watch Washing ton bureaucrats waste the taxpay ers money. On the horizon, there fore, it is possible to see the line of cleavage between the New Deal and the old line Democrats leading to elimination’" of the dangerous lump-sum appropriation and a res toration of relief ministration into the hands of local authorities. There is one further consideration in the general relief situation that attracts attention. I think it is rea sonable to assume that the far-flung relief machine which Mr. Hopkins has built up is permeated to the core with political appointments. It is only the usual political procedure and is not confied to the present national administration. Assuming, therefore, that there is such a politi cal machine, it is hardly open to question that it is a Roosevelt ma chine. The picture then becomes clear; since numerous member? of the house and senate want to control their own political destinies, they want control of the organiza tions for relief in their own juris dictions.. Further, if Mr. Roosevelt should want to, seek a third term nomination, . those Democrats who want to oppose him would be quite powerless if'they had to sit idly by and witness - Roosevelt delegates picked from their own stronghold.- S Western Newspavei .Union..

Miss. Carroll writes from Paris that she is having the time of her life selecting costumes for “The River Is Blue” which she will start mak ing for Walter Wanger when she returns to Hollywood. Loretta Young was in New York recently buying fur coats, hats, and dresses by the 'score, just as K she ' 'I hadn’t had any new , clothes in ages. Hollywood designers SMm £j have just about run out of ideas for Lo retta for in her last t four pictures she „ has had altogether some 80 changes of : ' -I costume, and each I one was supposed to ' ~ * be a knockout. The more extreme and Carroll bizarre clothes are, the better she likes them—so she keeps designers working overtime. —■K- You will be hearing a lot from now on about IIona Massey, who makes her American screen debut in M-G-M’s “Rosalie.” Officials of the company are so delighted with her performance in a minor role that they are going to give her the title role in “Pompadour,” one of the most alluring beauties in history or drama. There is one popular radio player who will have to mend her ways K she ever goes into motion pictures— and most of them do sooner or later. Alice Frost of the “Big Sister” cast comes out of rehearsals with her forehead all smudged. She holds a pencil in her hand, and in a mo ment of dramatic tension invariably draws the point across her forehead. The jinx that has dogged the foot steps of all Hollywood players who appeared . on the Broadway stage this season has at last been knocked out. Frances' Farmer broke the spell. She opened recently in “Gold en Boy,” a play about a prize fight er, and the critics went into rhapso dies oyer her deft playing of ro mantic scenes. Radio performers develop some of the strangest hobbies, but for the present Tony Wons, the C. B. S. philosopher, is leading them all. He makes violins. He makes violins with the utmost care out of any old thing he finds lying around the home. Inspired, possibly by Bob Bums and his far famed bazooka, he has made one out of a piece of tin stovepipe and the. tone to his sur prise is excellent. —-K- The battle of the two great glam orous stars of the screen, Garbo and Deitrich, turns out to be no battle at all when you see their new pic tures, “Conquest” and “Angel.” Garbo is so far in the lead that there is just no competition at all. “Conquest” is a lavishly-produced, historically-faithful romance of the time of Napoleon, and Garbo as the lovely Countess Walewska has nev er been more appealing. “Angel,” on the other hand, is just an incon sequential modem triangle story in which the camera lingers on Miss Deitrich to the exclusion of any ac tion. —-K- Because of her good work In the new Fred Astaire picture, “Damsel in Distress,” Joan Fontaine is go ing to get a strange reward. She is going to be starred in !“Curtain Call,” which Katherine Hepburn turned down. Don’t think she minds taking this hand-me-down, though. It is a grand story. —K— Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mc Carthy will be in the cast of a new comedy that will feature Irene Dunne and as a result she is the envy of all Hollywood as well as the public at large. Her outstand ing success a s' a comedienne in “The Awful Truth” influ enced Universal to postpone their biog raphy of Madame Curie and instead of that story to cast, her in a comedy.

Charlie McCarthy H isto fic H o a x es $ By ELMO SCOTT WATSON • C Western Newspaper Union. Clan War /~\NE day a Scotchman of the Clan MacLean dropped in to the of fice of the Toronto MaK and Empire, as' was his custom, to see his friend, Charles Langton Clarke. On the newspaper man’s desk he noticed a clipping of an article which quoted “the noted Scottish historian, Strangway,” as saying that the MacLeans had been the first to flee from the Battle of Culloden, thus shattering the hopes of Bonnie Prince CharKe for regaining the British throne. That dipping had been “planted” there deliberately by Clarke, who expected his friend to find it and immediately “blow up.”- Instead, the victnn of Clarke’s hoax rushed from the office and sat himself down to write an indignant letter to another Toronto newspaper. Immediately other Scots in Ckitario took up the matter. To the Mao- controversy began. Toy the Mac- Leans, proudest of aK the proud Highlanders and numerous in Can ada, such a reflection upon the cour age of their ancestors was an insuf ferable insult and they were loud in their denunciation of this historian, Strangway. Members of other dans — and these included men who were sup posed to be authorities on Scottish history — declared that they were quite famiKar with the works of this historian and bad always found him accurate. For days the battle of Ctfiloden -was fought over and over again in the columns of the newspapers. So bitter grew the feel ing Kiat Clarke began to wonder how he could stiK the tempest that he had raised, before there was bloodshed. Then almost as sudden ly as it had begun, the controversy died down. But it wasn’t untU years later that Clarke dared confess that he was the author of the hoax which had so aroused the Scottish clans men.• • • ’T he Animals Are Loose!” . O N SUNDAY morning, November 9, 1874, a shiver of fear ran through New York City. Headlines In Kie New York Herald proclaimed that aU ot the animals in the Cen tral Park zoo had escaped. The story, which ran to five full columns, said that 49 persons were dead, of whom 27 were identified, (their names were printed) and 200 were injured, 60 of them seriously. The mayor had issued a warning for everybody to stay at home whfie brave citizens, including Chester A Arthur, Samuel J. Tilden and other notables, who had kiUed most of the ravening beasts, rounded up the 12 animals StiK at large. James Gordon Bennett, owner of the. Her ald, coUapsed in his bed while read ing the story and stayed there aK day. Other citizens also stayed at home, thereby cutting down church attendance. Those who did venture out went heavily armed. For several hours the city was in an uproar. Then somebody hap pened to read the last paragraph of Kie story. It was headed “The Mor al of the Whole” and revealed that this was a gigantic hoax, the story of what MIGHT happen if better and stronger cages weren’t provid ed for the animals in the zoo. In fact, that was what Thomas B. Connery, the managing editor of the Herald, who ordered the story writ ten, had hoped to accomplish with it. But he overshot the mark badly. He gave the whole city the jitters but the zoo didn’t get stronger cages for its animals, at'least, not until long after the excitement over his. hoax had died down. • • • “Christ’s U tter” TPHE next time you receive a copy A of a letter, which is said to have been written by Jesus Christ just before the Crucifixion, don’t be afraid to disregard the warning that “misfortune and Ul Iudk will follow you” unless you pass it on to some body else. For this is one ot the most famous of all hoaxes. So far as if is possible to deter mine, this letter was written by some unknown person—perhaps a religious fanatic—around 1891 and it has been industriously circulated ever since. “The whole thing is a stupid, clumsy hoax or a modern- frame-up” says an authority on the subject. “It is even inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible and is expressed in modern English- sure proof that it is a fake.” The instructions for passing along this letter vary. Sometimes you are requested to make four copies and send them to four of your friends who wKl send copies to four of their friends and so on. Sometimestbe number is seven and sometimes nine. ' But in any case the receiver is solemnly warned not to “break the chain.” A more modern variation on this hoax is a letter which, it is ,asserted, was “written by a dying soldier in France.” In either case, refusal to do as requested wKl “bring you bad luck” and willingness to do it wKl “bring you good luck.” Perhaps it wiH—and it also helps the United States post office department.

LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Listitute - ' of Chicago.6 Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for D ecem ber 1 2 CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP LESSON TEXT—I John 1:1*7: Revelation 21:1-7. - - . - ...GOLDEN TEXT—Our fellowship Is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ— I John 1:3.FRIMAftr TOPIC—Ilie Heavenly Home. JUNIOR TOPIC—God's Great Family. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Comradesbto with Christ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Daily FeUowship with Christ and Christiana. FeKowship-the word is rich in meaning, even as it concerns the ordinary relationships of life. It speaks of the association of man with man in a common enterprise, a sharing of problems and of vic tories—a partnership. Such rela tionships are very real and helpful. They lead to friendships which bind the hearts of men together in noble purpose and in tender consideration. It is, however, a long step forward when we add the prefix “Chris tian” to “fellowship.” For by so do ing we not only bring men into the most glorious partnership with each other but' we do two other very im portant things: (I) we limit those eligible to this fellowship to those who are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ; and (2) we broaden the fel lowship beyond the association of men with each other, and bring them into the circle with Christ What a high and noble fellowship! Do you belong? Christ says, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in he shall be saved” (John 10:9). Our Scripture selections for today are from two books of the Bible. Both speak of an eternal Christian fellowship but the first stresses its present expression in a life of holi ness and the other its future of blessed communion. I. Christian Fellowship—Now (I John 1:1-7). The First Epistle of John presents fellowship with God as depending on three things “which form in their combination a very beautiful picture of truth . . . God is light (1:5), hence fellowship with God depends on our walking in the fight. God is righteous (2:29), hence fellowship with God depends on our doing righteousness. God is love (4:7, 8), hence fellowship with God depends on our possessing and manifesting love” (James M. Gray). Every clause and phrase of the passage before us is so full of spiritual truth that it should have our full time but we must limit our selves to pointing out one outstand ing fact; namely, that Christian fel lowship is made possible because we have a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He it is who reveals the Father—the One in whom there is “no darkness at all” (v.«5). If we follow him we must “walk in the Kght as he is in the fight” (v. 7). This allows for no dark comers, no crookedness in word or act, no back biting nor evilspeaking. Let us open the hidden recesses of the heart to the light of God and put every evil thing under the “blood of Jesus Christ which deanseth us from all sin” (v. 7). n. Christian Fellowship—for Eter nity (Rev. 21:1-7).Our present communion with God and with one another is most pre cious—but how often it is marred by sin and disturbed by the wicked ness that surrounds us in the world. We look forward to that day when we who are the followers of- Christ shall be delivered not only from the penalty and the power of sin, but also from its very presence. There will be “a new heaven and a new earth” from which every evil thing has been taken away, in which all has been renewed in righteousness. Then wifi come the glorious consummation of all things when God shall come to “dwell with them and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God” (v. 3). \;: That communion shall never be disturbed by the falling of any tear. There will be no mourning, no crying, no pain (v. 4). Little won der that these words have been the comfort of God’s people in their darkest hours. They are not the futile words of human solace. They come from the eternal God, Three questions have intrigued the curiosity of man: (I) Where did I come from? (2) why am I here? and (3) where am I going? The Christian is the only one who has a satisfying solution for the problem of the origin of all things, “In the beginning God”; a reason for the existence of afi things, “To me to live is Christ” ; and a satisfactory con summation of. all things, “And God himself shall be with them.” It is a great thing to know Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. True Religion True religion extends alike to the intellect and the heart. Intellect is in vain if it lead not to emotion, and emotion is vain if not enlightened by intellect;. and both are vain if not guided by truth and leading to duty.—Tryon Edwards. Values I am told so many Kl things of a man, and I see so few in him, that I begin to suspect he has a real but troublesome merit, as being likely to eclipse that of others.—Bruyere.

Fain, in The State At last the public >s beginning to get a faint idea of the inside opera tions of the inside operations of the so-called ‘social security” law. It shows up as one of the smoothest tricks the new dealers have devised to separate the tax-payers from their cash. One thing which a large section of the country’s po pulation has heretofore overlooksd is the fact that like all government scheme which cost money, this one will ultimately involve the entire population of the country. The idea has prevailed that as taxes are collected and benefits promised to certain clases of citizens osly, other classes of citizens; while receiving no direct benefits, will escape the cost of the scheme. The fact is that the plan is a bidden tax scheme as far as these clases are concerned and they will untimately be milked bv the federal tax col lectors, along with the employers and workers who are taxed As briefly as possible, it may be said that the old age pension scheme is planned to drain vast tax levies -under so-called ‘ social se curity” into the United States trea sury, where they wilt pass into the general fund this money will be paid out on the numerous expense accounts of the government- As fast as it is collected this money is expended. -It comes in at one eud oT'tl e’trca^y. acd 'almost imme diately goes out at the other end. To cover this *‘social security” or old age pension fund borrowing by the government's promises to pay, or bonds, will be issued and held by the treasury, so that at any time in the future beneficiaries of the (aw will not have their pen sion money in a trust fund held by the government but it will be re presented by the government's pro mises to pay, or bonds.. The entire proposition may be summed up by saying that the gov ernment collects billions of taxes on this old age pension account, pro position may be summed up by sav ing that the government collects billions of taxes on this old. age pension account, proceeds at .'once to spend money (instead of holding it in trust for thh pensioners) and thirty to forty years trom now, or at any other date in ' the future, what the pensioners will have is the government’s promises to pay them their pensions. At this pointJ in the discussion we can almost hear the excited pro tests of those citizens who want to know if we think the government will fail in its promises to - these people, will try to cheat them of their pension money, or will be fin ancially nnable to meet its obliga tions in the future. We answer by saying that un doubtedly these-persons will have a just and valid claim against the government, bui whether or' not they can collect on it will depend on the government's success in collecting this old age pension tax money again, or, certainly, will de pend on the financial condition of the condition of. the country and the government at any time in the future. Right here is the big, protruding point of the whole matter. Here is where the trick is concealed. The government collects the old pension fund atid SPENDS flT . Clearly, then, when the pensioners are to be paid offin the future the government will; - not have ‘ that money with whibh to pay them. It will have gone with the wind. The government’s only possible plan tor paying off the pensioners will be by Collecting Taxes Again to pay off Tbe government has no money except as it milks the tax payers or borrows. If it borrows, the debts mnst be paid by the tax payers, hot by the politicians and office holders Twenty, thirty or fotty rears from now if the government has spent all the monev it has extract ed from the pockets of Blank, Blank and Blank and their employ, ers unders the guise of ‘ sccial se curity” taxes the only possible course for the government is to col Iect the taxes Again in order to meet it-* promises to pay these citi zens. There is the New Deal trick and I submit that it is a fairly slick trick and one calculated to Tool many of the people much of the time. I earnestly approve of and believe in the principle which is supposed to be the corner stone of this old old age pension system. I think all intelligent, thrifty citizens be lieve in it. The trouble in the case under examination is that the new dealers never placed the corner stone in the structure. In fact they failed to build any foundation whatever under it. They are slap ping the structure together on the sands of political uncertainty and trickery. . AU of which, and many more facts that could be cited, convince me that the so-called “social se curity” plan is merely a smooth trick, which the new dealers thought would have a strong hu manitarian'’ appeal to the. Ameri can people, and would enable them to get their .dutches on billions of tax money which would otherwise have to be milked from the tax payers by more- dearly obnoxious methods. Many Claimants NotYet Applied For Cash Payments. Winston. Salem, N. C —"Thenum ber of workers who have reached 65 or relatives of workers who have died since January I, 1937, filing claims is much small than the num her-anticipated,” Mr. J. N. Freeman Manager of the Winston-Salem Field Office of the Social - Security- Board said today. . Title II of the Social Socurity Act provides that a lump-sum'payment yf 3J per cent of the total wages earned since January I, 1937, shall be paid to ' those workers reaching the age of 65 after January I and to the relatives of such workers who die, “The number of clasms filed in Region IV up .'to.

[The death in the hospital here of Mary Baugess, Wilkes countv wo man, v 'f the circumstances sur- roanc^ ig her tragic passing, would fuij&j/h the text for a dozen sermons from as many different angles, one ot which we propose to discuss here. The news columns told that when search was made of ber premises more than two thousand dollars in cash was found, and that she was bountifully supplied with clothing, although she went about in rags. Mary Baugess was “on relief,” yet she had the money to pay tor her every need. And that’s whit we want to talk about. It is Inconceivable that under or dinary prudent caution this wo man’s right to participate in the federal relief funds should have gone unchallenged. According to our understanding it is the dutv of case workers to dig deeply into the merits of app'icants, to ascertain the extent of their needs and help to pass upon the urgency, of their wants. Surely a little careful, business like investigation would have revealed something of what wa£ going on in that home. Cloth ing. money, eats—all hoarded in miserly fashion, while deserving ones may have hesitated to ask. The federal government is not wholly blameless. It has been eag er,.too eager, to get this money out, and those who are charged with the responsibility of distribut ing it have caught the spirit, with the result that the relief program includes many such cases as this In all fairness, let it be:said'that not all relief officials are or have been careless in their efforts. Many of them have taken tbeir job se riously, have almo.-t religiously ministered to the needy, in a thor oughly sympathizing way. But others have been more interested in their own pay check than they were in efficient administration If this were an isolated case, the cublic would not be arching brows and asking questions. But the whole program is - honeycombed with inequities and injustices, and the taxpayer who foots the bill knows it The tragedy is that be cause of somebody’s indifferences, such cases as this serve to under mine the faith of the people ia the objective sought, and deserving cases suffer thereby —Elkin Trib une.

Philadelphia — Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state in the Woodrow Wilson cabinet, in an address said he thought ‘‘it is not an exaggera tion to say that a large percentage of our CX1Penditures for relief can be put down as a ‘racket’.” Colby spoke at the 7 5 th anniver sary meet'ng of the founding of the U 1110& league of Philadelphia. ‘‘The. expenditures fo r over head,’ Colby said, ‘ which means tor bangers on and underserving people with political - claims upon the administration; the frank dis tribution of relief funds for what virtually amounts to vote-buying; the refusal of the administration to permit a practical census of the un employed, and those entitled to ie- lief, lest the pretext for wasteful and self-serving expenditure he lost; the use by toe political managers of the administration of the promise of relief or the withdrawal of it as a means of coercing votes, consti tute a scandal of unprecedented proportions.” Colby speaking on ‘‘Some as pects of constitutional government in the United States,” criticized the administration as be did in-the last national campaign.' “ The new deal means well, we are instantly told,” Colby said, “and though its processes are ille gal and its methods border on in- sunity, we must accept,Jso they teil us, the resulfng bedlam in the na tion . . . as part of th e 1036 ‘man date’.—I — - __ ...., • ‘Never was the was the 'mani date’ so curiously used.

The Ryan Barkley episode probab- - Iy has given wider pudlicity to North Carolina than the advertising cam paign pat on by one of the state’s own departments: but it might not be the kind of advertising that ia wanted by most of the people. It served to center the nation’s atten- <i»n on this section, however. Not only did the newspapers all over the country feature the story, but also the weekly news magazines played it up. If current reports are true, there is at least one business which is said to be carried on in the bride’s coun ty, the famous South mountains of lower Burke. Onei of the block* aders is said to have told it in one of the neighboring towns that thous ands of gallons of North Carolina Corn, the kind which Mr.. Ryan claimed rendered him nnconscious to the proceedings on the night of his wedding, has been sold in New York since the affair, put up in fruit jars bearing the label “Martha Bink ley Special.” The publicity seems to have quiet ed down at the present; but, from what is being rumored, gossiped, and whispered around, some new stories may stare another “cam- paisfi*” of “advertising.” There is a rumor afloat that Mr. Basij (Pat) Ryan was married once before and to an Indian squaw. We wonder what kind of booze be blamed that on. if it is true. There also is a story gqlng the rounds that Mr. Ryan was engaged to a girl of a prominent family in Hickory at the time he married Miss Barkley; and that his surprise marriage made his.Iirtuoce so sick that she has .gone away to recupe rate or to get away frorn all of the talk and publicity connected with the affair. This kind of publicty may be con sidered good for some screen person who has an in aginative p. ess agent to think up stunts to get bis client before the public, but it is the 0- oininn of the Record that North Carolina does not care to be known as a place famous for blockade whiskey and promiscuous matiral af fairs. Of course the state’s own press agent” had nothing to do with the publicity gotten in this way, but, speaking for Tar Heels in general we feel safe to say that they' are not proud of the notoriety given to Tarheelia by a ‘ stunt” of this nature —Statesville R-crd.

Building Boom Wanted T> EVISION of the existing housing ^ law in order to facilitate a building boom was asked by Presi dent Roosevelt in a special message to congress. He said such legisla tion would ease the flow of credit and open great reservoirs of idle capital to light the business slump. The responsibility for the success of such a program he placed squarely on labor and industry. Specifically, the President recom mended changes in the housing act which would: 1. Reduce from 5% per cent to 5 per cent the interest and service charges permitted by the Federal Housing administration on loans made by private institutions.2. Authorize the housing admin istrator to fix the mortgage insur ance premium charge as low as % of I per cent on the diminishing balance of the insured mortgage in- ' stead of on the original face amount, and to Vt of I per cent on the diminishing balance of an in sured mortgage where the estimat ed value of the property does not exceed $6,000 and'where the mort gage is insured prior to July 1, 1939. 3. Increase the insurable limit from 80 to 90 per cent in cases where the appraised value of the property does not exceed $6,000. 4. Facilitate the construction and financing of groups of houses for rent, or for rent with options to pur chase, through blanket mortgages. 5. Clarify and simplify provisions for the construction of large scale rental properties through facilitat ing their financing. 6. Grant national mortgage asso ciations “explicit authority to make loans on large-scale properties that are subject to special regulation by the federal housing administrator. 7. Remove the July 1, 1939, limita tion on the $2,000,000,000 permitted to be outstanding in mortgages, with congress eventually limiting the in surance of mortgages prior to the beginning of construction of individ ual projects. • 8. Permit insurance for repair and modernization loans as provided previous to April I of this year when this provision of the housing act expired. Preisident Goes Fishing H AVING put the tax and housing problems up to congress, Pres- • ident Roosevelt left for Miami, Fla., where he ^mbarked on a fishing cruise. Accompanying him was As sistant Attorney General R. H. Jackson, and the two discussed plans for legislation that would let the government proceed against the “bad” trusts without injuring those that are considered “good.” Other members of the angling party were Secretary Ickes and WPA Administrator Hopkins. No Time for Tax Revision XfT tHERE is no 'use kidding the A country,” said Senator Bark ley, majority leader of the senate, :as he gave out the sad news that it would be impossi ble to formulate and passa tax revision, bill in the brief time remaining to the ex traordinary session of congress. The senator had just . been conferring with the President, and his statement dashed the hopes of those _ ., who believe ailing Sen. B arbley business is in dire need of such assistance as revision or repeal of the tax on undivided corporate surpluses and capital gains. Mr. Roosevelt Mad said he was in favor of tax revision as soon as congress was ready for ,it- But such legislation must originate in the house, and the subcommittee of the ways and means committee that has been studying the subject had not yet reported. So it appeared almost certain that action must be postponed until the regular session which starts in January. This was highly displeasing to a large number of congressmen, and Representative Celler of New Vork called together some 60 of them to consider the possibility of emergen cy action. “Business can’t wait,” said Celler. Farm Bill Reported lV/l ARVIN JONES of Texas, chair- man of the house agricultural committee, submitted the house’s farm bill, together with a majority report defending the measure and calling for speedy enactment so that the rise of mounting crop surpluses which are depressing market prices may be offset. The house bill is less drastic than the senate version, but it was de nounced vigorously in a minority report which declared it was “un constitutional, unsound, un-Ameri can,” likely to “work to the detri ment of American agriculture,” and threatening to “dislocate” foreign and domestic markets. Both house and senate bills, it was predicted, would be modified be cause of the President’s implied threat to veto the legislation un less it was put on a “pay-as-you- go” basis. He insisted the farm bill must not interfere with his plans to balance the budget. After French Throne A LARM of the French govern- * * ment over the plotting of the Cagoiilards or “hooded ones” that led to the arrest of many rightists and the raiding of hidden stores of weapons and ammu nition was far from baseless. Evidently there was. a real conspiracy to over throw the republic and set up a dicta torship and eventu ally a restored mon archy. The govern* _ . _ . ment announced,Due de Guise however, that the plot had been wrecked. From his place of exile in Bel gium the Due de Guise, pretender to the. throne of France, issued a manifesto announcing he had de cided to try to regain the throne. "Have the moral courage riot to abdicate before present difficulties,” the manifesto appealed to French men. “Do not permit, in a moment of abandon, dictatorship of any kind to impose itself. “Certain of my ability to assure your happiness, I have decided to reconquer the throne of my fathers. France then again will reassume her mission in the world and again will find peace, unity and prosperity through a union of the people with a titular defender-king.”—•*_ Vinson to Be Judge PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT sent to * the senate the nomination of Rep resentative Fred M. Vinson of Ken tucky to fill a vacancy in file United States court of appeals for the Dis trict of Columbia. The post carries a salary of $10,000 a year, the same as paid a representative, but the ap pointment is for life and carries re-' tirement privileges. Mr. Vinson, who has been an outstanding tax expert of the house, is forty-seven years old and serving his seventh term. His home is Ashland, Ky. The President also nominated As sociate Justice D. Lawrence Groner of Virginia to be chief justice of the court, creating another- vacancy.

Cobb, may have been, said: “Let the older brother apportion the property into what he regards as two equal shares—and then let the younger brother have first choice of the shares.' But, of course, the lawyers couldn’t have favored the plan. It was too beautifully simple to suit any lawyer in any age.

I was urged to invest in a highly desirable lot, for only a few thou sand smackers; or buy a perfectly lovely crypt—slightly more expen sive, but most luxurious. Through some private whim or pique, I failed to answer this tempt ing communication. Today I re ceived an appealing follow-up let ter. I gather that, if I neglect this splendid opportunity, Tll live to re gret it. Or maybe I won’t. Such thoughtful attention merits response. I’m replying as follows: '‘Dear gents: Space in a grave yard is the last thing I shall require. When that time comes, somebody else will do the shopping. Trusting these few lines may find you the same, yours gratefully.” But if a representative calls in per son—as he will—I’m a gone gosling. Those slick talkers always do' get me.

The Yankee conception of a julep is calculated to make a host of sleeping Kentucky brigadiers rise up from their respective Bourbon casks and start giving the rebel hiss. , Naturally, the only perfect julep is the Paducah julep. Just drop in next summer and sample the real product on its native heath—not at a saloon, where the bartender is likely to have heretical ideas, such as using preserved fruits and even putting the sugar syrup in first, which amounts to downright crime —but in the private home. « • • Western Superiority.

Washington.—Congress has been doing a deal of talking about help- mm , _ ing business to get m uch Talk, • on its feet, but it No Action has notv yet ac complished much. The house ways and means com mittee, it is true, is making some headway and a number of senators, including the powerful Senator Harrison of Mississippi, are asserting the necessity for a reversal of fed eral policy. But, again, there is much more talk than action, and in the meantime the country’s busi ness is sliding lower and lower. The difficulty in the present situ ation and the thing that probably has been more responsible for the business slump than anything else is that business heretofore has been unable to tell what the federal gov ernment is going to do. It has be come evident already that with a somewhat changed atmosphere in congress, there are many business men who are more hopeful than a month ago. Business men, big and little, are quick to note that there are senators and representa tives who think the time has ar rived for business to receive some consideration. And it ought to be added that unless business does get some consideration, this current depression is going to be as bad as the last one. The federal govern ment must give attention to the ag ricultural problem and it must fit that job into some consideration of the other half of American life, namely, the commerce and indus try outside of agricultural life. It will be recalled that during the first two years of President Roose velt's administration there was a flock of laws passed that were of great value to the country. Many of them were of a temporary char acter and were enacted on that basis. That would have been fine if the administration had stopped there. But it did not. The roam ing herd of so-called thinkers who were scattered far and wide in fed eral jobs- had to have their innings. At least they thought they had to have a turn at bat. AU of their pet theories bad to be tried out. The result: many laws that were purely experimental, dangerous, damaging and a burden to business. With many millions of others, I expected at that time to see these queer looking laws shaken down, corrected, or repealed where it was found necessary. That has not hap pened. Again, the result: the coun try’s business from the smallest general store at a cross roads or a garage or a gasoline station to the greatest corporation, like General Motors or Pennsylvania railroad, has had to suffer under the heavy heel of the national government. The reason that congress is show ing signs of a movement that wiU revise the tax structure is because these smaller businesses out through the country have now got their fiU of government red tape, complex reports, visits of investi gators, new tax forms and levies, or what have you.. Those people are making themselves heard here in Washington. So if congress takes some action looking to a fair deal for business, just as it is quite determined to do something for agriculture, I enter tain no doubt about the response it will get from the business inter ests. As far as business has made itself felt, it is apparently asking only to be treated equitably with labor. Every one knows that the last three or four sessions of con gress have been frightened to death every time a labor leader showed up on Capitol hiU. The reward given congress was the C. I. O. sitdown strikes, violence and a general mess. The condition has left a good ly number of senators and repre sentatives a bad taste in their mouths.* * • There is plenty of dirty linen in the business closet. It has a hard . wash day ahead toM essmg restore it to the in Business respect of the bulkof the people. Bus iness has been smug. It has thought too Uttle, in'many instances, of its obligations to the pubUc at large. But surely there is a point beyond which federal punishment ought not go since there is a responsibility also in the other direction. Unless business gets a reasonable chance to stand on its own feet, how is it going to re-employ workers and reduce the relief rolls? Every individual wants to earn some money. He wants a return for his labor. He dreams some day of a retirement, a lay off when he can watch the world go by. I can see no reason why the federal government should not encourage, rather than discourage, such a thing. It is the conviction of a very great many, an increasing number of people that the federal government is messing too much into busiiiess. But aside from that phase. .There are ,# ,number of thing? ijapEgrjing thatare-diffieult to understand/; At a. time when business is sliding off like a snowbaU going down hill, the .I resident steps out and orders an investigation by -the federal trade commission into “high prices." The inquiry, of course, is directed at monopoly. I have no doubt at all that there will be a blast from some government official pretty soon in which “big business” again will be told it is crushing the “little feUow* and that the public is suffering from the high prices maintained by a “trust.” There may be even a fireside chat because a President’s voice penetrates everywhere. At a time, too, when the prices of bonds and shares of corporation stock are sinking like they have double pneumonia, out bursts Chair man Douglas of the securities and exchange commission with a smaU cargo of dynamite about crooked dealings underneath in the stock ex changes of the country. Fortunate ly for the hundreds of thousands of smaU investors, the stock exchange quotations did not fall much further as a result of Mr. Douglas’ learned remarks. The prices already had fallen below the knees. But the Douglas statement certainly gave no confidence to those who were be ginning to believe that congress would try to undo some of the wrongs previously done. Just about the same time and dur ing frequent appeals from the sen ators and representatives that the tax laws had to be overhauled, the President sent a report to congress. It was a report by the New York Power authority, charging the pow er interests with some weird mis doings. I happen to know some of the folks on the staff of the power authority and I feel that they know just about as much about the power problem as I do—which is to say they are pretty dumb about the sit uation. Of course, those aUeged economists have brilliant ideas about reforming America, and I am dumb about that, too. Further: While this power au thority report was being em blazoned upon the front pages of newspapers, President Roosevdt was holding long conferences with WendeU Wilkie and Fred Carlisle, who personalize the “power trust/ if there be a power trust. Mr. Roosevelt was talking with those men in an effort to get the large power interests to go ahead with construction and expansion pro grams to provide work for unem ployed.* * * The political strategy of blaming everything on “big business” worked weU for a D m erent time, just as the Picture old demagoguerv about “Wall Street” used to inflame thousands when a politician orated and slapped his legs with widely swinging arms. But the picture is different now. The attack on business has become a miU stone on business and it has crushed little as WeU-as big—and since there are' so many more smaller ones than there are trusts and monopolies, members of con gress are hearing about it from men whom they went to school with at home. But what is to be done? Let con gress repeal about five hundred laws that force business to pay more for the privilege of doing business than it gets out of its whole volume; re duce or revise the direct taxes and bring the thousand and one items of tax out in the open so the people can see and know what they: are paying; cut out forty or fifty of the siUy experiments that were worked up by the coterie of individuals who are constantly feeding Mr. Roose velt half-baked and cockeyed schemes for spending' money and thereby reduce the federal expenses —these and many more of honest purpose can be done. If they are done, business again can employ workers and as it employs work ers, they come off the relief rolls, and as they get wages, they bay. This means profits and profits mean tax receipts by the treasuries of state and nation. To show how some of these taxes come about, I am told that Herman OUphant, general counsel to the Secretapr of the treasury, promoted the ridiculous tax on undistributed profits of corporations. When it was pushed through congress Mt. Roose velt said it would force corporations to declare dividends of aU at their earnings and he was for it. It did just that. But when the corporations bad distributed everything to their shareholders and their volume of business feU off, they had no money left to tide them over until business picked up again. Hence, some of them are on the verge of bankruptcy. I do not know where Mr. OUphant got the idea, or how he sold it to Mr. Roosevelt. I do not know of any business connection that Mr. Oliphant ever had with any impor tant corporation. It is important, however, to note that Mr. Oliphant has made no move whatsoever to defend this brain chUd that turned out to be such an unwanted baby. (And while writing about Mr. OU phant, it may be noted that until Secretary Morgenthau came onto the scene, there was never any need for a general counsel to the secre tary of the treasury.)

GET READY FOR WINTER DRIVING No section of our population is more dependent upon the automobile as a means of transportation than the residents of the smaller communities and rural districts. Tet each Fall, many car owners cause themselves a great deal of trouble and expense by neglecting one or all of the simple yet necessary steps to assure proper operation of the car in Winter weather. A minimum Winter protection program should cover: 1. Complete change to correct grade of lubricants for motor, transmission and differential. 2. Motor tuned up, including adjusting of carburetor, valves; distributor, sparkplugs, generator and all electrical equipment. 3. Drain and flush cooling system. RefiU with suitable anti-freeze solution. , Selection of motor oil andgreases for Winter driving is particularly . important. You m ist select an oil which will permit easy starting, that will lubricate the motor throughout the. entire driving range of speeds and will continue to do so for a reasonable mileage. For many years Quaker State Winter Oils and Greases have been recognized as the highest quality and most generally satis* factory Winter lubricants on the market.' Through Quaker State’s highly developed methods and equipment it is possible to produce a motor oil which will have a satisfying body over the 400-degree ranee of temperature it wiU meet. That is, when the motor temperature is way below zero, the oil will still be fluid enough to allow the motor to turn easily and also to flow freely to all the bearings. Yet this same oU has enough body to stand up and to give the motor proper lubrication when the temperature inside the cylinder wall reaches 400° and over. As with any other product you buy, you get what you pay for. An oil of Quaker State quality is necessarily expensive to make. This does not mean, however, that Quaker State is more expensive to use. Being pure, concentrated lubrication, it stands up longer in service. It gives more miles per quart and at the same time gives Uie^bearing surfaces safer protec- You will want to step into the car, even when the mercury is hiding in the bulb and press the starter with every expectation that the motor will start off with its usual Summer zest.

About twenty-five people attended the cutring ,and curing demonstrations given bv Prof. R E. Nance, of State College. At O M Howell's farm a 436 pound hog was cut up and ?23 pounds of meat salted down. About- 40 pounds of sausage was made. Two hogs were cut up at C. W. Brow’s place and put into cure About the same amount ot oork was put into cure as at Mr. Howell’s Mr. Naace stressed the necessity of pro per killing, especially proper sticking in order to get good bleeding He savs the hogs should be bund up over nigh in order to get the animal heat out before the meat is cut and salted. The formula for curing as given bv Mr. Nance w»s as follows: Fcreach IOOpounds of pork use 8 pounds of salt. 3 pounds of brown sugar and 3 ounces of salt-peter. Apply half of the mixture when cut up and the other half in about seven days. The meat should be left in cure three ; days per pound ner piece That is a 15 - pound ham should be left in cure forty-five ; davs. a 10 pound middling thirty days In the care of larger pieces the curing period may be cut down. No meat should he left in cnre over sixtv to sixtv five days As an illustration a 20 pound ham should cure : about fifty to fifty five davs end a 30 p°und ham from .sixtv to sixty-five days Mr. Nance stressed the importance of packing the meat in a water tight barrel. After the meat is taken out of cure- it should be washed and wrapped in paper to protect it from flies and insects. V*e suggested that sausage be made up of 75 per cent lean and 25 per oenf fat meat. The seasoning of sausage depeods upon the taste of the individual, hut a good formula is as follows: For each 50 pounds of sausage use I pound of salt. 2 I 2 ounces of black pepper and 3 ounces ; of sage. Mix this with the meat before it is ground and grind it in with the meat. D. C. RANKIN, Connty Agent. Attorney E.

CHAPTER—XIV—Continned —2 2 The inspector pulled a paper from his pocket. Mark Trent glowered at jit as if it were a rattler with head |raised to strike. “Here it is. The real thing. Sig natures and everything o. k. I found it—” “You found it in my desk, didn’t you, Inspector?” Brooke interrupted icily. Mark Trent’s eyes were stormy, his lips were white. “That’s enough. Don’t go on with this, Brooke.” “But I am going on with it.” “Let her tell her story, Mark. It’s only fair to her.” Sam joined the two men before the fire. “Jed’s right, m’lad. The inspec tor found the paper in your desk. That’s your cue, Brooke. Go on from there.” Brooke went on. She told of her suspicion the first time she had come into this very library that there was a reason other than a passion for the sea in winter which had brought two men from the city to live in Mark Trent’s house; and she told of Mrs. Greg ory’s admission, the afternoon be fore the Supper club party, that she had witnessed a will of Mary Aman da Dane’s and that she had been warned by Jed Stewart not to speak of it. And how, almost before Mrs. Gregory’s car was out of the drive, Henri Jacques had confronted her with a paper and the lie that he had found it in her desk. “Don’t speak! Don’t!” She inter rupted her story sharply as Mark Trent opened his lips. “Let me finish! “I took it with the idea that if I didn’t, he might make more trouble with it. I let him think that I was considering his proposition that I pay him for keeping quiet. Of course I wasn’t, but I can’t expect you two men who have been suspi cious of me from the moment you learned' of my friendship with Mrs. Dane, to believe that. I was com ing directly to this house with it. First, locked in my room, I looked at it to be sure it wasn’t a black mailing scheme of Henri’s. It wasn’t. It was Mary Amanda Dane’s will leaving all her property, except legacies to the Jacques, to her nephew, Mark Trent.” “Stop and get your breath, Brooke; you’ll crack-up if you don’t,” Sam warned. “I won’t crack-up and I won’t stop till I get this thing off my mind. It has been a hideous night mare, holding back that paper, I mean. Of course the contents of that will were a shock for a min ute; but I knew that Mrs. Dane had been just. Then I thought of the play, that the sudden appear ance of a missing will—there’s drama for you, Sam—might upset the performance; so I locked the thing in my desk. I had planned to bring it here this evening. When I got back from headquarters to night, I went to my desk to get it. The drawer was empty. Now I know that Inspector Bill Harrison, your sleuth, had found it, Mr. Trent.”' “That’s enough, Brooke.” Mark Trent’s voice was low and authori tative. “I don’t believe that you have had that will. I know—” “Wait a minute!” Inspector Bill Harrison cut in. “Come over here.” He spread out the paper on the desk. He drew a flat leather case from his breast pocket and removed from it a white scrap. “Exhibit A. Watch!”* The scrap fitted into the tom cor ner. There was a glint in his eyes as they passed from face to face of the three men bending over to read the finely written lines. “I don’t know what the rest of you folks think.” his voice was as soft as velvet, “but, in spite of the fact I found it in her desk, Im sure Miss Eeyburn hasn’t had the will in her possession ever since it was signed, because—”He laid the tip of a square-topped finger on the tom-off corner: ’’Because I found this scrap caught in Mrs. Hunt’s bag the night her diamonds were snitched. CHAPTER XV For the length of time it took the bid clock in the hall to chime the quarter hour, there was silence in the library, a ®gnce as tense as if the still body of -a3 )lack-haired woman with the o p e - bag gripped m one bruised hand lay m their midst. Inspector Harrison broke the spell. “And that ain’t all I’ve_ got to show you. Bring him in* Tim! BrooketS breath stopped as a tall policeman with huge ears pushed a cowering figure into the room. Hen ri' Henri here! Would he dare per sist in the lie that he had found that will in her desk? “Sit down, Brooke.' Witti hands on her shoulders Mark Trent drew her from behind the chair and forced her gently into the seat. She felt his presence behind her as he said sharply: “It’s your move, Inspector. Let’s get this thing over with.” “It ain’t my move, Mark. It’s Henri Jacques’. He’s going to tell you what’s kept him the busiest but ler in the U. S. You’re on the air, Jacques. Spill it!”The command held the crack of a lion-tamer’s whip. Henri drew his fingers over his slack lips. He made two attempts to speak before he produced a voice. "I’ll tell the whole story, Mt. Mark, and it isn’t so bad as the in spector’s trying to make out, I swear it isn’t. I didn’t kill—” “Start at the beginning!” “I will, Inspector, I will.” Brooke looked down at her clenched fingers. She couldn’t keep her eyes on Henri. Once she had seen a dog being beaten who grov eled as he groveled now. His voice shook as he went on:“It was like this, Mr. Mark. Ma dame Dane sent for Clotilde and me to come to the living-room one aft ernoon. It was the nurse’s day off. She was in the wheel chair and Ma- “I Won’t Crack Up and I Won’t Stop.” dame Gregory was there. Your aunt said as.how we were all to sign a paper in her presence and then she was to sign in our pres ence. She laughed kind of shaky and said: “ ‘I don’t' know much law, Anne— Anne was Madame Gregory—but I’ve learned how a will has to be signed to make it legal.’ ”“Did Mrs. Gregory say any thing?" “Yes, Mr. Mark. She said, *Do you think you should do this without consulting your lawyer?’ and your aunt said that Mr. Stewart was away and she didn’t dare wait till he came home because she hadn’t been feeling well. We wrote our names. Mrs. Gregory left, Clotilde went back to the kitchen, and then, the old madame handed the paper to me and said : “ ‘Put that in my safe ,upstairs, Henri. I’ll give it to Mr.'Stewart when he gets back, but first bring me a glass of sherry. I’m tired.’ “She looked so white I thought she was going to faint. I jammed the paper in my pocket and ran. When I came back with the wine, Miss Rey- bum was standing by the mantel laughing; you remember that after noon, don’t you, Miss?” “Yes.” “Direct your question to me, not tc Miss Reybum, Henri. What did you do with that paper?” “I was coming to that, Mr. Mark. The old madame was taken very sick that night, JSot until after she’d been gone a week or two did I think of it.” “Then of course you read it?” 44Yes sir.” “You showed it to Clotilde?" “Yes, sir. ” “When did you and she decide to fasten the theft of it on Miss Rey bum?” The voice which came from be hind Brooke’s chair set her a-shiv- er. A steadying hand rested on her shoulder. “We—we didn’t think of it, Mr. Mark. Mrs. Hunt suggested that." “How did she know about it?” Henri passed shaking fingers across his lips. “Some way she found out that we were going to sell your aunt’s sil ver. Clotilde and I thought we might as well have it as the strange girl she’d left it to.” The glance Hrtirl Jacques cast at the inspector was green with venom. “Mrs. Hunt said, if Pd get the silver to the white cottage, she’d dispose of it; that it was rare and worth lots of moiiey,' that a dealer would believe that it was hers, that he might suspect me. That seemed reasonable. Mrs. Hunt knew of a man to help. She said she’d take care of that will, too, she'd get mon ey out of you for it and we’d go fifty-fifty.” “Go on, Henri!” Mark Trent’s voice was hoarse. / “I gave it to her. The afternoon before the filling station mur—hold up, I showed the man she sent where the silver was, forgot the keys and left them in the doors. I remembered them in the middle of a movie, came home, went upstairs very quiet and got them. The man who was to move the silver to the old limousine was waiting in my room. While you were all laughing and eating downstairs I let him through into the Other House by the upper connecting door. He took the stuff through your house—the Japs were out, and I pretended to go to bed. He was to make a cross on the white cover when he had it in the car. I drove it to the cottage. I went in to tell Mrs. Hunt the sil ver was outside, ready to take to the city. She—she was on the floor. I swear she was. I swear I didn’t touch her.” “But you took that paper over there on the desk out of her bag, didn’t you?” “I told you once I did, Inspector. I felt it belonged to me. But I swear I never touched her.” “Take him out, Tim.” Henri stopped to hurl defiance at Inspector Bill Harrison. “You think you’re smart, but you wouldn’t have known anything about this till we were safe out of the country, Inspector, if that expert thief Mrs. Hunt brought into the game hadn’t stopped to wash and shave in Mr. Stewart’s bathroom. Pretty snappy guy he was. I sup pose he had to dress up fine before he called on her. She paid for pulling him in. He got her jewels all right, and he was out to get Mrs. Gregory’s tonight. I wasn’t in on that deal, Mr. Mark.” “Take him away, Tim.” Inspec tor Harrison’s eagle eyes followed the two men from the room before they came back to Brooke. “Sorry I had to touch your desk, Miss Reybum, but a high falsetto voice phoned me you had the will— I know now that it was Henri Jacques—so I went through your room while you were all at the play. I guess you’re glad the truth is out. The minute I heard of that bath stunt I knew who to look for. That guy has made a specialty of breaking into houses week-end3 where the folks were away, of mak ing himself at home in the tub and carrying off what he wanted when he left, mostly men’s clothes. Maggie Cassidy was right when she said he was a swell dresser. He ought to be. He’s had his pick of the best. It’s kind of funny when you think of it, ain’t it? When I accused him of killing Mrs. Hunt, he crumpled and spilled the whole story, lie had seen her rings when she engaged him to move the sil ver. Wanted them. Knocked Hunt out first. He’s a quick worker. He and his pals aren’t killers. There wasn’t a gun in the gang load. There’s a joke to it, they don’t one of them know yet that the coroner’s verdict was ‘heart fail ure from fright.’ I’ve kept that un der my hat so I could scare the truth out cf them. Well, Mark, your silver’s safe and you’ve got your aunt’s money.” “Thanks, Inspector, PU tell you how much I appreciate what you’ve done, later. Sam, get Brooke’s wrap. I’ll take her home. You and Lucette stay here and get the in spector something to eat. Wait for me, Bill, there are a few points that need clearing up. I have some thing to talk over with Miss Rey bum, then I’ll come back.”“You are not going home with me and we have nothing to talk over.” Did he think that he could wipe out the memory of his suspicion of her in this lordly manner? Brooke asked herself. “Oh yes, we have.” Sam chuckled. “One of the thirty-six dramatic situations. Snap into it, Brooke. It is apparent even to this boyish in telligence that Mark wants to talk to you alone. Fair enough. Why make him go on the air? Be kind to him, he deserves ' well of his countrymen.” They crossed the terrace in si lence. The snow had not been cleared from before the door of Lookout House. Mark Trent swept Brooke from her feet and carried her into the vestibule. He kept an arm about her as he opened the door. Something turning like the wings of an autogiro in her throat, cut off her protest. The green liv ing-room awaited them, softly light-' ed, faintly fragrant. Above the mantel the Duchess looked down with grave eyes; below, coals, mur murous as purring kittens, gave out a gentle glow. “Take off your wrap.” Brooke slipped from beneath the velvet and the hands tightening on her shoulders. She barricaded her self behind a high-back chair. With one arm on the mantel, Mark Trent faced her. His eyes, smiling a little, maddeningly cool, filled her with rage. She challenged: “You would come. Why? Didn’t you want to tell me before the oth ers that you had known about that will all the time?”(TO BE CONTINVEVH WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Parlen N e w 'Leoi i t f t m r f y YORK—H President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina of the Dominican republic nersists in his impromptu war with Haiti, and •• i, •» spurns PresidentBaU Player Roosevelt’s offer M ight Solve of mediation, it is Latin Fead P°.ss‘“ e that theymight buy him off with a fast black shortstop and a couple of outfielders. President Molina is a rabid base ball fanatic, and only last June he was accused of stealing, many of the best players of the American negro, teams. The charges, quite violent and vehement they were, were made by the National Negro League of America, comprising six teams, and were backed up by Ferdinand Q. Morton, New York civil service commissioner, who is the Judge Landis of the league. It was asserted that agents and emissaries of the President did re peatedly, by trick and device, snatch an ebony ball player wher ever they might find him; that they had thus cashiered some of the best talent of the negro league. The Pittsburgh Crawfords were especial ly loud and insistent in their com plaint. The dictator of Santo Domingo learned fighting and ball playing with the United States Marines, with them eight years, until the end of the period of occupation in 1924. When he took over the country in 1930, by double-crossing old Presi dent Velasquez, his enemies said, he made baseball a major detail of his planned economy. He helped build up the Central American league and brought He’d Summon through quite a few pennant win. A rm y to Get ners. He throws Star Player big parties for thevisiting teams at his palace in Ciudad Trujillo. He’ll practically call out the army to sur round a good ball player. He was a farm boy when the ma rines came along. He worked up in the Dominican army from pri vate -to brigadier general, gaining the presidency by a clever ceup d’etat. In 1933, he liqiudated a strong opposition by putting it in jail. Several thousand exiles have for several years maintained a junta in New York city, led by Dr. Angel Morales, former Dominican minis ter to Washington. They have ac cused President Trujillo of whole sale killings and of ruthless sup pression of all political rights and civil rights. When Sergei Bensome, former secretary of war, was murdered in New York in April, 1935, the polit ical enemies of the dictator said his agents had committed the crime. TOien he became president in 1930, at the age of thirty-seven, he was the youngest ruler of any sovereign state.

Angell, president emeritus of Yale, and Robert Gor don Sproul, president of the Univer sity of California, for the work of drafting a comeback program for the party. A former member of the Repub lican National committee, who still keeps a few pipe lines open, tells me chances favor President Dodds, as to both choice and acceptance of the chairmanship of the program committee. President Dodds, who looks and works like Woodrow Wilson, is a specialist in government. He has a generally liberal slant, but has been vigorously outspoken against bureaucracy and has steadiy cried down the juggernaut state. The curse of “statism,” he says, is the world’s greatest menace. He would appear to fit into the picture of a rejuvenated and realistic party re organization.

He is a native of Utica, Pa., edu cated at Grove City college, Pa., and Princeton, with a doctorate from the University of Pennsyl vania. He lectured on political sci ence at Western Reserve, Pennsylvania and Swarthmore and became a traveling student of Latin Amer ica; finding there a useful laboratory of political techniques.

A well - known headmaster vouches for the accuracy of this one. A certain twelve-year-old was about to be caned for some trivial offense. The headmaster asked him- how he preferred to receive his punishment. “Well, sir,” said the boy quick ly, “if you please, I’d like it like the .Greek style of penmanship.” ■ “What on earth do you mean?” asked the master. “Please, sir, the upstrokes heavy and the downstrokes light.” COLD CATCHERSHERE’S SHOULD WHATA RELIEF I THAT* CERTAINLY GREAT FOR A HEAD CO lD I “ BEST OFALL MR.DEAN,IT HELPS PRBVENTALOr OF COLDS IF YOU USEITIN TIMEI T his specialized medication—Vicks Va-tro-nol— is expressly designed for the nose and upper throat, where most colds begin—and grow.

Not ail of them are joyful, certainly none so glorious as the Christmas story which St. Luke announced 2,000 years ago in the glowing words of promise above. But most of them are important to you, and all of them are as honestly reported and fearlessly, fairly presented as your newspaper’s conviction of its obligation to serve all the people can make them. •fo Fear not, in this world of ominous change and strife, when your newspaper, because it is an American newspaper, can dedicate itself unhampered to a life of truthfulness, education, moral and civic leadership. Fear not for the world when its people can and do still forget their petty selfishnesses in the Christmas spirit of fellowship and giving. •ft There is no other news we bring you that fills our own hearts with gladness as the tidings of another Christmas fill them. And so, a Merry Christmas to you all, and may the love and peace and hope of the GreatBirthday mellow your cares throughout theyear. QUp IIttbUsIpra (wpyright) You Figure It Out.

They had echoed to the accom pani m ent of the w hir of the w ings of the g reat plane in w hich she had flown south a t the urgency and the expense of C arston’s In c.; they had intruded in business hours; they had flitted like w raiths through Her dream s. The days slid p ast breathlessly. She w as conscious of a sort of breathless urge to keep up w ith som ething w hich w as escaping her. K eep up w ith w hat, she asked herself, as in the flower scented dressing room of C arston’s, Inc. she slipped out of the green organfa num ber she had been m odeling and into a frock of cool yellow linen. She w as looking out unseeingly a t the palm bordered w hite’street w hen M adam e C eleste entered.

W hat do you m ean?” M adam e C eleste tw isted h er am ethyst beads. “ C herie, don’t go w hite on m e. You know business hasn’t been too good, and I have “L ast A ppearance!

A fter the fashion show I’m to hand you a check for your com m issions and a m onth’s pay and you’re through.” “ But—but I thought I had sold a lot of frocks since I cam e.” “ You have, and you can search m e for th e boss’s reasons. N ever knew him to tu rn a trick like this before—but, I ask you, is any busi ness being run as it ever w as run before? I’ll tell the w orld it isn’t. I ’m terribly sorry to lose you.” 'F o r an instant, em otion threat ened dam age to the enam eled calm of the w om an’s face. Brooke w as still puzzling over the dism issal w hen she reached the sm all B erm uda-type house, w ith its w hitew ashed roof and w alls built- around tw o sides of a patio, in w hich she had been living since she had com e to P alm B each, and entered her room . She changed from the yellow cot ton frock to w hite shantung pa jam as. She picked up letters from a desk, pushed open a window, stepped out on the -gallery and breathed deeply of th e light thin air. She opened a letter from Lucette. F o r the first tw o pages the w ord “J e rry ” m onopolized space; to even a feeble-m inded person it w ould be evident th a t J e rry F ield w as lead ing in a long stag line. Brooke w as glad of th at, but how did L ucette m anage to take on all the festivities and be fit for h er w ork in the m orning? A s if she had antici pated th e question, L ucette • w rote, w ith w ords heavily underlined for em phasis: “A fter this evening IT l cut out the night spots. T here’s nothing in them for m e.” “ So stop w orrying about little sis te r, darling, and get th is: I w ant to be like you. Brooke. You don’t sm oke,' you don’t drink, and y et I ’ve never seen a m an who, w hen intro duced to you, didn’t stand a little straighter, fuss w ith his tie, and. get th a t I’ve-found-her-at-last look, in his eyes; and you’re grand fun and the life of the party. . “ T here, you have th e inside story of m y life; so w hat?

Its pred ecessor is folding up; it w as a ter rible flop.” Brooke shut h e r eyes to keep back tears. She had know n th a t L ucette loved her, but th a t she se t h e r on a pedestal w as unbelievable. As to th at' “ I ’ve-found-her-at-last” iook in a m an’s eyes, she should have seen M ark T rent’s w hen he had called h e r a “ schem er” 'in Je d Stew art’s office. W hy think of it? H adn't she plenty of happier things to think of? She glanced a t the clock. Sam ’s play m ight be produced any day. She had lost h er job. She w as free to go to New ^Tork! Could she afford it? W hy did th a t grubby question have to pop up to tak e the joy out of life? Of course she would go. She had flown to P alm B each a t th e ex pense of C arston’s Inc. She would tak e a bus in return on h er own. She would go tonight, go on to a new adventure in living. Tingling w ith excitem ent, she te l ephoned for a reservation on the night bus; packed a sm all trunk tc be sent by express; folded h er sil ver evening frock and accessories into the a ir luggage suitcase which C arston’s Inc. had provided. She. would w ant the gala clothes for the prem iere—thrilling thought.* She laid out an am ethyst tw eed suit w ith 'crim son sca rf and beret, to w ear on the journey. Tt would be cold w hen she reached N ew York. AU ready and som ew here to go! She glanced a t the clock. There w as tim - for a sw im before she started for the style-show . It would set h er up and refresh her. She m ust look h er best for h er positively la st P alm B each appearance. She slipped into the w hite water* frock and caught up a beach coat. Life w as gloriously w orth while even if the m an one loved did think one a “ schem er,” she..told herself, as she ra n down th e steps w hich led to the patio. She w as hum m ing a snatch of gay song a s she crossed th e strip of yeUow sand steeping in golden sunlight w hich the m arch of fash ion had left behind. A im s extend ed, she slid into the sparkling w a ter. It parted. B uoyant, foam y, it closed over h er. M arvelous feel ing. This would stabilize h e r m ind, drow n haunting m em ories. She sw am w ith quick strokes, turned, floated, cam e back a rm over arm , and, dripping w ith coolness, waded out to the shore. A m an rose from the shadow of the d ark hibiscus hedge outside th e patio. Its scarlet flowers seem ed to nod a t h er in am used derision a s she stopped in surprise. M ark T rent! This w as th e cue for cool sophistication. H e held out the beach coat she had dropped on th e sand. “ P u t this on, Brooke. L et’s sit here. I w ant to talk to you and we m ay be interrupted inside.” “How did you know w here I w as?” “ I’ve been playing round w ith Lu-, cette, m ore o r less.

How w as h e?” “N erves ta u t a s violin strings, otherw ise in g reat shape." “ W hen does his play open?” “ D ay after tom orrow .” “ So soon!” "W hy th a t sudden look of hor ro r? ” “ It w asn’t horror, it w as—F ve lost m y job and I h ad planned to leave here tonight by bus, but traveling th a t w ay I can’t possibly m ake New Y ork in tim e for the prem iere of ‘Islands A rise.’ ” “ I know th a t you’ve lo sty o u r job.

W hat rig h t have you to in terfere in m y life?” “ The rig h t of a so rt of guardian; didn’t A tm t M ary A m anda so re quest in th a t last w ill?” E yes on a pelican fishing in shallow w ater, he accused: “ You haven’t answ ered Jed ’s let te rs notifying you th a t the am ount of incom e you had been receiving from m y aunt’s e state would be de posited, m onthly to your account as usual. I had to com e to find out if you h ad received them .” Brooke sprang to h e r feet. H er beach coat slipped off. Slim and golden-skinned in h er w hite w ater- frock, she dug pink toes into the hot sand. “ I didn’t answ er because you both know w ithout being told th a t I won’t touch th a t m oney.” M ark T rent loom ed over her. “P u t this on again,” he com m and ed grim ly. “ W hy won’t you touch th a t m oney?” Brooke th ru st h e r arm s into the beach coat he held and stuck her unsteady hands into the pockets. “ W ould you tak e a cent of M ary A m anda D ane’s w hen I thought it m ine?

B ut, having blun dered, she’d b etter see it through with- the light touch. “ F rom a letter from M rs. G reg ory the other day. It w as full of new s, all about M ark T rent and D aphife Field, .the cu rren t lady of his h eart. She’s a grand gossip.” ’ M ark T rent’s eyes drew Brooke’s like a m agnet. W as the light in his laughter? - “ A nne G regory is m ore ttn n a gossip; she’s a stra te g ist I haven’t spoken to D aphne F ield since the night of the play and she knows i t ” H e loosened his hold oh h e r w rist, “ W hat a re you doing this after noon?” /TO BE COfinNVEDi.

Its mission is to help build up the county and ad vertise its advantages to the out side world There are always a lot of things to be thankful for. Jack Garner, the New Deal vice president, says that if Roosevelt runs for president again, that he will stump the conn try against him. Jack is not so dumb after all. During 1933 business firms and corporations were not given anv encouragement by the National Ad ministration but NOW their aid and sympathy will be gladly ac cepted to helo restore prosperity President Roosevelt told us in 1932 that if we would elect him president he would reduce taxes, nut all the idle men to work, re duce the number of Government employees and repeal the dry laws So far he has made good on one promise- the dTy law was repealed. NO PAPER NEXT WEEK. As has been our custom for many years, we will issue no paper Christ mas week. The next issue of Tl e Record will appear Jan. 5 , 1930 Our readers need a week's vacr- tiou, together with the devil, print er and editor. For 51 weeks we labor six days in the week to give our subscribers the news of the town, county, state and nation, .and we have to print a paper evety week, news or no news, ads or no ads, whether we be sick or well. The Record appreciates the many kindness shown it during the past year by advertisers and subscribers alike We have done what we could to produce a c'ean, respect able paper, that, while small in size, would meet the approval of the citizens of this entire section We have made many mistakes, and doubtless some have been offended at us. but the mistakes were of the head and not ot the heart. If we are spared during 1938 we will try to give our readers all the news of the county that is worth telling, to gether with impottant events of state and nation. We will continue to work for the upbuilding of the town and county, and do all in our power to assist in anv and all pubr lie enterprises. We believe evety citizen of Davie county should take their county paper* and we hope to add many new names to our books duriog the cotnpinj? vear. - To everybody, everywhere, The Soldiers’ Pension Checks Clerk of the Court Haitman has finished distributing Confederate soMier and wid ow’s pension checks* which were received last week.

WILSON Cowboys are traditionally shy. And the red-blooded Ernie Adams, who is featured In such western thril lers as the current Bob Steele TeleaBe for Republic, “ Arizona Gunfight er,” became a veritable Milquetoast on one occasion when a great man, who admired him, paid him a visit back stage. * The great man was Woodrow Wilson, then President of the TJnited States. The occasion was a stage play in Washington, D. C., in which Adams had a prominent character role. The actor says he has never forgotten the cold fear, the tight, clammy lump that rose up in his throat when he went forward to greet Iiis visitor. ttIt was stage fright of the first order,” Adams reminisces. “ I could have played before him on the stage without batting an eyelash, but when he came backstage to visit mo personally, words seemed to fail me, and the greatest thrill of my life turned out to be my most embar rassing moment I * * Adams is noted for his vocal gym nastics. He ean imitate any gargon or dialect, and in addition, speaks fluently in French, Spanish, Italian and German. He is in demand in radio because of his ability to as sume more than one character in a radio sketch. “Arizona Gunfigbter” comes to the Colonial Theatre for showings this Friday and Saturday, with a large action east including, in ad dition to Bob Steele, Jean Carmen, Ted Adams, Lew Meehan, Steve Clark, John Merton, Karl Hackett and A. C. Henderson. Sam Newfield directed, from the original story by Harry F. Olmsted George TL Plympton prepared the screen play.

Speaking of sports, what would you eall the young girls who attend the open air skating rink at Broad way and Fifty-ninth Street in New York clad In only short panties and shirt waists while the temperature is below freezing? Mr. Bershak deserved all the praise he got for that boy was one of the best football players ever to set foot upon the sod of this state . . • or any other state. Ace Parker seems to be heading for a place in the hall of fame of the professional footballers. His record this year is one which is at tracting all the big time sports Hunters are finding game a bit less plentiful than they had antici pated. So far we have heard of n<? one who felt it easy to get the allot ment on any one trip. Babbits seem rather plentiful, but birds are not found in any profusion this year. Big time hunters of deer and geese in the East report sufficient game to keep them amused. The big preserves in the West are offering hunters of big game some thing unusual and it is reported that many are traveling far and suffering many hardships in order to hunt for some of the .hear, deer and such which are now available. FILM DELAYED TWO WEEKS FOR ACCURACY A M A Z E A M I N U T E SCIENTIFACTS -r* BY ARNOLD For the sake of accuracy, Dave Sellman, director of “ Texas Trail,’’ latest in the series of Clarence E. MuIford Hopalong Cassidy Wes-,. tern adventures to reach thej-ysttSsii, held up production ,of the picture for two weeks, during which time the entire company sat around on loca tion doing nothing but practice fancy riding. The story of “ Texas Trail,” which shows tomorrow and Saturday at the State Theatre, with William Boyd, George Hayes, Bussell Hay den, Judith Allen and Billy King, is set in 1898, the year of the Spau- ish-American War. Tlie prop man had ordered several thousand rounds of ammunition, to be used in scenes in the picture, but when Sellman saw the first few min utes of action, and noticed that guns were fired without any smoke being visible, he ordered a halt. “ Were smokeless cartridges used during the Spanish-Ameriean War?” he demanded. And when investiga tion proved that they were not invented until several years later, Sell man ordered all production stopped until frantic prop men could locate stoeks of black-powder cartridges.

Once the birds were so abundant that when they m igrated to the United States and rested on western plains they resembled huge banks of snow. Its flesh is not particularly appetiz ing, so hunters are not responsible. But the snow goose signed its own death w arrant. It liked grain too well, so incurred the w rath of farm ers.

Jonathan died in 1827, leaving a widow and three sm all children, W arren, Thomas and L aura; four years lat er, the children lost their m other by death.

Pecnllsr Type of Dinosaurs Iguanodons and their relatives were a peculiar type of dinosaurs, that habitually went about on their hind legs, with their thick tails to act as balancers, after the fashion at kangaroos. It is not likely that they did as m uch lively leaping as present day kangaroos; giant ani m als of any kind are not much giv en to that kind of athletics. The nam e Iguanodon was given to this - group because of certain resem blances between their teeth and those of the modern tropical lizards known as Iguanas, though there is no dose kinship between ancient dinosaurs and m odem lizards. Land G rants Began In 1862 Federal land grants to assist states in establishing agricultural colleges were begun in 1862. ARE YOU TIRED? By LEONARD A. BARRETT Much of the fatigue witnessed in the rush and strain of our modem life is not physi cal but nervous over-strain. This latter condition plays havoc with psychic centers and m oral norms. Nature protests against a nervous over-strain. So in the field of moral values there is a degree of pres sure against which our higher nature cries: just so far and no far ther. We know that no over-fatigued person is at his best in his daily toil. By the sam e token it m ay be difficult for a fatigued person to be normal in the field of m oral values. In other words, to what extent is fatigue responsible for crime? A celebrated scientist writes, “In the nervous system only a limited amount of energy is available at any moment, and the essential thing in brain action is the maintenance of the proper balance between the storage and expenditure of energy.” Fatigue is the sign that the reserve stock is being overdrawn. It is a warning signal. As the danger sig nal in the tower warns the engineer the track is not clear, so fatigue is nature’s warning signal calling for relaxation and restoration of the nervous system to normalcy. Peo ple who are fatigued will say things and do things which they would nev er do under normal conditions. A crim e is often committed when a person faces a crisis in an hour when resistance is at a low ebb and the character, therefore, not suffi ciently re-enforced. A rubber band can be stretched just so far without snapping. So an over-fatigued person is literally a poisoned person—a poison due to un expelled toxins. Such a person can stand just so m uch pressure and no more. Proper nervous conditions are in no small way responsible for a nor m al m oral character. Nerves and m orals have become practically in terchangeable words in the field of psychiatry. We hear a great deal these days, and rightly so, about a m an’s right to work. In a democracy like ours, every man willing and capable of work should have a job; but is it not also true that every person should have the right of leisure and rest? Drugs are as pernicious as they are ineffective in creating a cure for nervous over-strain. In the strain due to high tensioned life of today, the cure m ust come from within and not from w ithout A heart is not m ade strong, by taking acidulous fiuids out but by putting something in, a renovating and re generating power capable of dissolv ing the poison caused by nervous fatigue. What is that something? A great love. None of the crippling effects of over-strain are present when one is strengthened by the faith of a friend whom we trust and who im plicitly trusts us. "The unconscious processes of the body are only doing their best when they feel the throb of a great faith, a great hope and courage, a great love.” Rest does not demand a vacant mind, but a mind intent upon some great pur pose high enough to command our highest loyalties. There is then no room left for the degenerating ef fects of monotonous toil. Best is not quitting the busy career: rest is the fitting of self to its sphere. The way • we spend our leisure hours deter mines the future curve of our na tion’s crime. “THEME SONG” DRESS The deep yoke-shirring of this lit tle “theme song” dress, extending all the way to the waist, is decided ly “tops” in style for the very young miss, this season. Small puffed sleeves complete the quaint picture. And newer than new is the fabric itself, designed to interpret a fa m iliar song, to the delight of young wearers. “Daisy, Daisy, tell m e ' your answer true” is the song from which this particular design drew inspiration.

J O u J e r s lu i SUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK C W estern N cw apaper Union. standing between utilities and the administration, Wendell L. Willkie, president of Commonwealth and Southern corporation, proposed a general truce between business and the Roosevelt administration. Will- kie’s company has been involved in some of the bitterest controversies with Washington. Sformy Days in Capital TJ ETURNING from his fishing trip in Florida waters with an in fected gum, President Roosevelt was confronted with a situation that was decidedly disconcerting. What has been called the Roosevelt depression was becoming still more depressed and congress seemingly couldn’t make up its mind what to do about it. The demand for tax revisions that would assist business out of the slump was insistent, and so was the necessity of balancing the budget. Passage of the four administration “must” measures appeared to be impossible during the extraordinary session. AU of them were opposed by various blocs of the majority party as weU as by the Republican minority. The senate’s farm biU seemed to have the best chance to get through, but it differed so radically from the house measure that it was certain a conference committee would have to try to find a common ground. Secretary WaUace was reported dissatisfied with both senate and house bills. One official close to him said WaUace might urge-Pres ident Roosevelt to veto any bill finaUy enacted which approximated either the senate or house measure. Democrats were so badly split over the wage-hour biU that hope of passing it before the regular session of congress was about abandoned. Labor, too, was divided concerning this measure, the A. F. of L. op posing it and the C. I. O. advocating its passage. The federation offered its own version, calling for a flat 40 cents an hour minimum wage and a 40 hour maximum work week. The house biU was finaUy rescued from the rules committee by petition. House Majority Leader Sam Ray burn, Democrat, Texas, went ahead with plans to whip administration support behind the house measure. He said that fewer than 100 votes would be cast against the biU in its present form but warned that amendments which would make its wage-hour provisions more rigid might shunt the measure back to the labor committee and delay a vote indefinitely. —K— Tax Setup Needs Revision ANIEL C. ROPER, secretary of commerce, says the entire tax structure of the United States should be revised. He was speaking at a banquet of the Business Advisory coun cil in Chicago, and his statements ap peared to meet with ' general approval. H , “A general revi sion is necessary to simplify determina- . s p . tion of tax liability, A to distribute the bur den of taxation more equitably, and to Sec. BopCT broaden the base of taxation toVinclude a larger percent age of our earning population,” Sec retary Roper said. He asserted that the undistributed profits tax had not entirely fulfilled Its proponents! expectations that it would “bring about a higher veloc ity of money through larger and more widespread distribution of cor porate earnings.” Mr. Roper expressed confidence that a “constructive approach will be found to the solution of the utili ties dilemma and that significant results will be forthcoming.” That this confidence has a sound basis was indicated by two an nouncements made the same day by prominent utility executives. Floyd L. Carlisle, chairman of the Consolidated Edison company, told the New York state public service commission that his company plans a $25 ,000,000 expansion program. The development came during hear ings concerning a proposed $30,000,- 000 bond issue.Back from submitting to the Pres ident a formula for better under- HMkMBl General Malin Craig Lindbergs Come Back A FTER two years of self- imposed exile in England, Col. and Mrs. Charles A.

Dis patches from London said the colonel also had some business to transact in America. He is asso ciated in an advisory capacity with Pan-American Airways. The landing of the landberghs at New York was accomplished with such secrecy that they almost es caped the notice of reporters and news photographers. One of the officers of the liner on which they came said they planned to return to England immediately after Christ mas. —-K- Infantry Comes First IN WAR operations on land the in- fantry is still the most important branch of the service, says Gen. Malin Craig, chief of staff of the army, in his annual report. Lessons learned by skilled observers of the civ il war in Spain and the Chino-Japanese war have. modified the American de fense program, but, says the general, it is still the infantry that renders the de cision in the final analysis. Airplanes and tanks are valu- uable auxiliaries to the infantry, but they cannot bring about a decision in land operations. Inventories of armament, motori zation, mechanization and equip ment, in the light of the lessons abroad, show several vital needs of the first line forces, General Craig declared. These include better weapons to combat aircraft and tanks, as well as more efficient guns for the planes and tanks. . —K— Edgerton Bacb Wafer ONFIRMATION of the appoint- '- J ment of Henry W.

D EL RIO, TEXAS.—Accord ing to the scientists, who have a great way of naming earthly phenomena without in quiring into the wishes of the phenomena, we are now living in a terrestrial era known as the Hollocene period. This will be news to a lot of peo ple who rather suspected we were living through a stage which might be called Chaos. Stiff, it’s no won der that the word hasn’t got around generally yet, be cause this present era is quite a young era as eras go. It’s merely a few mil lion years old, which, to our true geologist, is the same as yesterday. Mention a few million years to him and he’ll say “phew!” and just snap Ms fingers—like that. I wonder if the authorities would pardon a suggestion from a poor ignoramus whose acquaintance with geology is largely limited to two of its surface phases, namely: Reg ular paved roads and those denied detours. When we consider most of the humorous illustrations and the bulk of the humorous text printed in the average smart magazine of today, and the even spicier lines heard in smart modem plays, wouldn’t it be more fitting to call it, not the Holocene, but the Ob scene period?* * • The Law’s Long Arm.

COBBCopyright.—WNU Service. Washing to Digest National Topics Interpreted ^ By WILLIAM BRUCKART NATIONAL' PRE SS 8LDG , WASHINGTON. D C % Washington. — Much has been written and much more has been B ■» j said concerningRmlroaaa the complexities Face Crisis of modern civiliza tion and modem business. Many times have we heard how closely agriculture is re lated to other industry; how general commerce and industry is interwov en with every phase of our life. There can be no doubt of this condition. No proof is required. Nor is it necessary to argue that when one section or segment of business is on its sickbed, there is a resulting bad reaction upon every other phase of commerce and industry to a greater or less extent'. With these fundamentals in mind, it becomes obvious that probably the most important development of a national character in the last few weeks is the appeal of the country’s railroads for the right to increase their rates by 15 per cent. The de tails of their condition, as presented in hearings before the interstate commerce commission, show they are confronted with a crisis. Since they are under the rigid supervision of the federal government, the fed eral government is the doctor in the case. They will live or die by the command of the interstate commerce commission. The case they have presented shows, for example, that they have had to cut thousands upon thousands of workers off of the payroll; that they have been unable to buy more than one tMrd of the customary annual purchases from other busi nesses, and that more than one fourth of all the railroad mileage in the nation is now being operated as bankrupt property—that is, the property is in the hands of court receivers. So, adverting to the observations of the first paragraph of this dis cussion: a gigantic industry can not run at a loss without resulting in a bad heart or partial paralysis in other industry. Higher rates are always opposed for the very human reason that none of us enjoys taking any more money out of our pocket than we must. Many lines of busi ness oppose rate increases on the railroads because of the fear that it will reduce their volume of sales. But it occurs to me that in consid eration of a question of freight rates and charges which the railroads make, we ought to think of their sit uation as we do pf other lines of business. Our retail grocer is not going to sell at a loss; the druggist can not subsist unless he makes a profit however small it may be, nor is the farmer going to continue to produce unless he gets a reasonable return from Ms work. The oMy dif ference between these and the rail roads is that the railroads can not raise their rates unless the inter state commerce commission, a gov ernment agency, says they can do so. Further, there is a tendency on the part of a goodly number of per sons throughout the land to question the accuracy of statements made by business. No doubt you have heard, as I have, the remark that “you can’t tell whether so-and-so’s busi ness is bad off or not. Big corpora tions can cover up and make black look like white.” . Indeed, while I was listening to one of the I. C. C. hearings in this case, a man in a neighboring seat made something of the same observation as I have quoted. My answer to him was in substance that none of the railroad officials would dare lie to the com mission, even if they were so in clined, because the commission has access to every item of expense and income, even all actions of the management, of the carriers. It might be added in this con nection that officials of the inter state commerce commission under stand there is to be a request by the interstate truck operators for an increase in rates if and when the rail lines are allowed Mgher rates. The trucks are represented as slow ly starving to death—but they can’t and won’t boost rates until their competitors, the railroads, charge more for their services. ■ * * * I believe there is no better way to set forth the plight of the railroads, , as presented to Cugnt the commission, o f Carriers; than to include here some ex cerpts of the statement made offi cially in the case by Dr. J. H. Par- melee. He is director of the bu reau of economics of the Association of American Railroads and, as such, knows the details. “Today,” Dr. Parmelee said, “the carriers are reducing forces and are. curtailing their purchases of equip ment, materials and supplies. They are forced to do this because of the financial condition in wMch they find themselves. This retrenchment has a serious economic effect on em ployment, on the manufacturers of railway supplies and their employ ees and on all business activity. Such a policy with its unwholesome economic consequences only partial ly offsets the rising tide of costs. “The railroads in 1927 to 1930 in stalled more than twelve times as many locomotives each year, nearly five times as many freight cars, laid nearly three times as many tons of rails and laid nearly twice as many cross ties as they averaged in the depression years from 1931 to 1936. “Capital expenditures for 1929 and 1930 averaged $863,164,000 a year. During the depression years from 1931 to 1936, the average of capital expenditures was only $206,813,000. “Similarly, the trend of railway purchases (of things they must use in operation), of fuel, material and supplies declined sharply during the depression years and never has re turned to anything like normal. Railway purchases in 1929 and 1930 amounted to $1,184,017,000 in each of the two years. In the five years from 1931 to 1935, the average' per year was about $559,000,000. In 1936, the expenditures in this direction were up to $803,421,000. (Figures for 1937 are incomplete but there has been another decline because of necessary curtailment of buying.)” Dr. Parmelee turned to the ques tion of railroad receipts for their services. He told the commission that the depression years had left the railroads without any reserves. For seven years, he said, the railroads have been barely getting by, and pointed out that at no time .be tween 1931 and 1937 had they earned more than 2.57 per cent on their investment as it is appraised by the commission. In three of those sev en years, the records show, the railroads’ receipts did not amount to as much as their fixed charges, a term wMch includes Mterest on their debts, taxes and required amounts for paytog off parts of their debts. In other words, all they earned to those years was just enough to pay the people who work for them and buy the necessary fuel and operating supplies. * * * The argument to the commission is predicated, therefore,-upon rising . costs, general ex-Rtsm g penses, and the Costs dozen or so rail way presidents who testified before the commission stressed the fact that these expenses are out of control by the railroad authorities. Dr. Parmelee figured that these higher costs of fuel, sup plies, wages and taxes had laid a burden on the railroads that is greater this year by $664,789,000 than it was to 1933. The companies hope to get $567,287,000 of ttos sum from the 15 per cent increase in freight rates, and the railroads of the East are asking that passenger fares be increased from 2 cents to 2% cents a mile, which they think will bring to an additional $47,500,- 000. From ttos it is seen that the carriers still will fall short of the full amount needed, but their ar gument, as I understand it, pro ceeds on the theory that they should not seek more of an increase than is sufficient to keep them from go ing broke. If the new depression conditions subside, there will be a larger volume of freight next year. That will enable them to make a profit. That is, a greater volume of business with the -new rates will provide a profit unless there are new government taxes and other burdens laid upon them. In this connection, I looked up the effect of the social security and carriers’ taxing act. Commission records show the rail lines are paytog $111,- 000,000 to taxes annually under these two levies alone, a burden the companies did not have two or three years ago. So it is evident that the rail lines are to a bad fix. They are con fronted on the one hand with mount ing costs of operation and on~the other by declining receipts from the smaller volume of business. At the same time, it seems to me, the country has more than a passing interest to their plight. This is so because during the last two months, for example, close to 60,000 railroad employees have been laid off—out of work, to the rail industry alone. With the decline of purchasing of supplies by the rail lines, other in dustry has suffered, has laid off men. Looking at the thing another way, one might call attention to.federal appropriations for relief wMch have been to excess of three billions a year during the last several years. The figures given above show that the railway purchases—just one in dustry—have fallen off more than 500 millions, or about one-sixth of the relief appropriations. If the ap propriations to aid all unemployed are only six times as large as the drop to railway expenditures, it is easy to see what an influence is wielded and why I have taken the position that it is necessary to con sider the railways’ petition from the standpoint of the country as a whole. We, as citizens, have a bur den to' carry whether it is done through the railways or through some other avenue. None of those' rail workers wants to be without a job, I am sure.£) Western Newspaper Union. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT PAINTS_______ Sen Roof Paint* house paint and ainmlmim paint, good proposition.

Propagtmda Goes Gruesome THE World war not only made more people aware of the word “propaganda” than they had ever been before but the use of this in strument in “molding public opinion” reached greater heights—or descended to lower levels, which ever way you wish to look at it— than ever before. Oneoftheclassic propaganda stories, broadcast all over the world, was that the Ger mans were using their dead to man ufacture soap. This story was first circulated in China (where ancestor worship is strong) to win that.coun- try to the side of the Allies. The story had its origin in a cu rious coincidence. One day two photographs were delivered to the office of Brig. Gen. J. V. Charters of the British Army Intelligence staff. One of them showed some dead German soldiers being hauled away to be buried. The other was a picture of dead horses on the way to a soap factory. Whether or not what took place next was deliberate or accidental has never been definitely estab lished. But the fact remains that the captions on the two pictures were switched and the one showing the dead German soldiers declared that they were “on their way to the soap factory.” Propagandists saw in this picture an opportunity for further exploit ing the idea of “German ruthless ness,” as well as evidence of the desperate condition of Germany and the picture was reprinted all over the world with that caption under it. Despite indignant denials by the Germans, many people still believe that they did indeed use their dead to manufacture soap dur ing the World war. . . . Boomerang IXTHEN Eugene Field joined the * ” fctaff of the Chicago Daily News in August, 1883, and began writing his column “Sharps and Flats,” he learned that it was the custom of the News to give each employee a turkey Ss a Christmas present. The '!upon he wrote a note to Melville E lstone, the publisher (later famous as the head of the Associated Press) saying that he didn’t like turkey but he could use a new suit of clothes. The day before Christmas, when tne other News workers were get ting turkeys Field was handed a bundle. When he opened it, he dis covered that it contained a convict’s suit, resplendent in its black and white stripes. Field gravely thanked Stone for the present and the next day appeared at the office wearing the suit. In fact, he wore it every day, much to Stone’s distress. For when ever the v Htor happened to have distinguished callers in his office, Field was sure to walk in, attired in his convict’s suit, even to the cap, and pretend to be busy attending to the coal stove in the office. Natur ally, it caused the visitor to won der why a “convict” should be working around the News office and it required considerable explaining on the part of the publisher. It wasn’t long, until Stone was heartily sick of the joke he had played on his columnist. He tried to get Field to give up the suit but the humorist insisted thatNnothing could make him part with “Mr. Stone’s gift.” Finally in despera tion, the publisher arranged with one of the News employees to' steal the suit from Field’s rooms and that ended Stone’s joke which had proved to be such a boomerang. . . . The Lamplight Funeral 'T H E late Arthur Brisbane was once unintentionally responsible for circulating a story which turned out to be a hoax but which stirred the whole state of Georgia to the deepest indignation. It was the story of holding the funeral of a young girl in a Georgia cotton mill at night to permit her fellow workers to at tend because the mill owners re fused to allow, its employees to leave during working hours. The Atlanta Constitution immedi ately-began an investigation and discovered (I) that, instead of a girl, it was a woman of twenty-five whose funeral had been held at night; (2) that she had never worked in the cotton mill; (3) that the funeral was held at night to meet a family' exigency; (4). that many of the employees of the mill Arere present at the burial, which was held next day; and (5) that the man who had given Brisbane bis. “facts” had admitted being in error. The famous columnist, however, refused to back down on his story and accused Clark Howell, editor of the Constitution, of trying to “cover up” bad working conditions in.the textile industries of the South. Thereupon Howell produced signed 'statements from the minister who. officiated at the funeral, the mayor of Covington, Ga., where it was held, the editor of the News, the lo cal paper, and the president of the cotton mill to prove that the whole story was a hoax perpetrated by some one who wished to damage the textile industry. IMPROVED............... UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY IcHooL L e s s o n By REV- BAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of-Chicago,^^ Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 26 CHRISTIAN .CONSECRATION LESSON TEXT—PhiUppians 1:12-26.GOLDEN. TEXT—For to me to Uve Is Christ, and to die ts gain—Philippians 1:2LPRIMARY TOPIC-Our Best Friend.JUNIOR TOPIC—Answering Jesus.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Choosing a Life Purpose.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— What Christian Surrender Means. Consecration is one of the words, expressing Christian truth which has been so much used and so often misused that it has lost its savor. The writer remembers many a “consecration service” which meant nothing to those present except the fulfilling of a certain formula or program. The purpose of the meet ing was excellent, but results were lacking because it had become a mere formality. Paul the apostle knew nothing of any theory of consecration. He knew and lived and proclaimed such an abandonment of self to Christ and his cause as ^really required no statement in words—it was his life. We close today a three-month se ries of studies in the Christian life. We began at the right point by con sidering “Christian Sonship,” for no one can live until he is born and no one can live a Christian life un til he is born again. We have considered together God’s grace in keeping, renewing, guiding, blessing, and communing with his own. All these precious truths call us to de vote ourselves to Christ in glad and full consecration. Men give themselves thus to the building of a fortune, to the prop agation of a political or social the ory, to the pursuit of an occupation or profession. Why should not the Christian give himself in like meas ure for Christ and his holy cause? Paul, in the verses of our lesson, shows that spirit and boldly de clares that he follows Christ re gardless of trying circumstance—he does so now, “in the body,” not later in glory. And it matters not whether it be by life or death— “Christ shall be magnified.” I. “What Then?” (v. 18). Paul was imprisoned for the gos pel’s sake. Did that stop him? no; he made the very guards who were assigned to watch him in his house into missionaries of the cross. He won each one as he took his desig nated period of service and sent him out as a testimony to “the whole praetorian guard and to all the rest” (v. 13 R. V.). Then, some of his Christian asso ciates taking advantage of the fact that he was imprisoned, went out to preach just to show that they were as good as he. They made their very preaching an expression of their envy of his popularity and hoped to heap more sorrow upon him. Did he get angry and bitterly fight back? No; he thanked God that Christ was preached. We need more of that spirit in our day. H. “Bi My Body.” One of the glaring fallacies of hu man thinking is the idea that at some favorable time in the future we shall be able to enjoy life, do mighty deeds or serve the Lord.' For example parents fail to enjoy their children .because they are al ways looking forward to the next stage of their development. The time to enjoy and help our children is now. The time to serve the Lord Jesus is now. The day will come when we shall be glorified with him, but it will then be too late to speak to our neighbors about Christ. HI. “To Live Is Christ and to Die Is Gain” (v. 21). Humanly speaking when a matter is one of “life or death” it is a question whether death may not in tervene. The hope is that this may not be the case and every effort is made to prevent it. How different with PauL He rightly points out that to a Christian death means entering into perfect fellowship with Christ' and unlimited service for him. Every human limitation wifi then be put aside—knowledge, service, communion, will all be perfect and complete. . He would not, however, turn away from his present privilege and duty. Since it is God’s will that he should abide in the flesh he will do it in such a way as to make it literally true that to him "to live is Christ.” Every life has a purpose and that ruling passion which controls and directs a life is what should be written into the sentence, “To me to. live is . . ” What is it—money, position, pleasure, sin? Or is it Christ? H he is your life, then you enter into the New Year with the assurance that it will be full and satisfying, and gloriously useful. , Spitefnl Words A spiteful word cuts both ways. A slander hurts the man or woman who'spreads it in a more deadly, though unseen, way than it hurts its intended victim. Victor. Hugo no bly ! says, “Every sword has two edges; and- the man who wounds with one, wounds himself with the other.” Only One Re There is only one rS!L sible; and that is, not to I the best one knows.—Canon FaTT N i f t i n e s s f o r N e w Y e a r s LIKE to give yourself a lift for the New Year, Milady? Then spruce up with Sew-Your-Own — the easy way to chic. Here, for instance, are three swell swing models that will make you modem as tomorrow and put you in the running for the title, “best dressed woman.” Right now it’s parties you’re thinking of, so pick a pair of eligibles from today’s trio and you’ll be groomed to hob nob with the smart young set. Will You Dance? The New Year’s Party will be festive and so will you in the model at the left in black moire. This is a very young frock and not a little flattering to the debu tante figure. It has a skirt that’s built for dancing, and the oh, so slender waist is no drawback (take it from one who knows). Be sure, young lady, to have your version ready to go when the invitation to celebrate comes flash ing over the wire. Spic ’n’ Classic. There’s always a “morning aft er,” and that’s when you’ll be glad to have a spic and classic frock like the one above, center. It is suitable to take back to school to rouse the roommate’s envy and, pleasantly enough, it’s so easy to cut and stitch, a fresh man can’t go wrong. Make one version in flat crepe and a carbon copy in sheer wool—it is superb both ways. Ah, My Friends. . How about a two-piecer of lame and velvet for that rousing family reunion over the holidays? The Home Heating Ilinfc ByiohaBarcbiIlIIlM H eating CxpeH Don’t Shake Down Low Fire— Give Fresh Coal Good Start Then Shake Grates Gently 'T'HERE’S a little fault with the firing method of quite a few. home-owners that I should like to correct. They have a mistaken idea that when a fire is low, all they have to do is to shake the grates vigorously and the fire will flare up again. Nothing could be further from the fact. A shallow, half-burned- out fire cannot be revived by shak ing most of the remaiiftng coals COM into the ashpit. The simple way to revive it is to add a sprinkling of fresh coal, giving it time to ignite. When it is burning well, shake the grates gently, stopping when the first-red glow shows in the ashpit. Then refuel the Are, remember ing to- fill the firebox to the level of the bottom of the fire door. This will provide a deep fire, which is considerably more eco nomical than a shallow one, for it burns less coal and lasts a longer period of time. Also, it minimizes the attention you have to give a shallow fire in trying to revive it. Seeking Your Will You are seeking your own will. You are seeking some good other than the law you are bound to obey. But how long will you find good? It is not a thing of choice. It is a river that flows by the path of obedience. I say, again, man can- choose his duties. You may ise to forsake your duties, and se not to have the sorrow bring. But you will go forth; what will you find? Sorrow duty—bitter herbs, and no ’ 1 bread with them.—George Eliot. model above, right, is two pieces, but it’s one with chic and figure flattery. You’ll have your aunt ies making ohs and ahs and the bright young cousins calling you “the duchess” ! What’s more you’ll look the part—a stunning compliment to your family as well as to the New Year.
