Can’t Stand Success. Joseph W. Martin, Republican leader In the House and admittedly an efficient go-gelter, stated at the beginning of the present session of Congress that his forces would sup­ port all legislation beneficial to the nation ahd that he would not oppose measure “jw t for the opposing With some reservations as to what legislation is beneficial to the nation, and making allowances for expedient political, “opposihg," the records show that he has right consistently held to that purpose. After a study of the President’s national defense program, coupled with a cautious fingering of the public pulse, the Repudlicans in Congress are prepared to vote for any resonable appropriition for that cause. They even went as far as tbeir Democratic breteren cared to go in allocating money for relief. It should not be changed to them that they knifed the TVA approp­ riation to the extent of seventeen million dollars which seriously ham­ pers and hamstrings the acthities of that agency. That cut was achieved because Democratic repre­ sentatives absented themselves, probably purposely, when the vote wos taken. Martin keeps his forces on the floor at all times when import­ ant measured are to be voted on beacause be is trying to write a Republican record that will appeal to the voters in 1940, while the Democrats seem to be determined to write finis to their chapter. It all adds up to the conclusion that the Democratic party has reach­ ed the cross roads, and unless harm ony is restored, somebody else will be handling the reins after the next election. Since the seventh-sixth Congress convened the Democrats have been fighting among them­ selves and with thi President. Rule or ruiu seems to be the slogan and purpose ot the two main factions within the party. Jack G annr and his conservitiAeside kicks who only gave lipservice to the New Deal ideology when its popularity deman ded it, and who at heart prefer the old prolitical philosophy of power and privilege, stand a good chance of dominating the party, oniy to find that they have achieved an empty glory. It has always been thus, the ad» ministrations ot Cievland, Wilson and now Roosevelt have headed for the rocks for lack of cohesion. The Democrats can’t stay put. The sight of a staggering and witheied old elephant encouraged them to believe that it was headed for the bonepard. But it has ted on their own shortcomings and now is going right well, thank you. Republicans in North Carolina, almost weaned from the federal trough, many well be casting lots for the postmasterships again. The Democratic brethren have willed it that way.—Statesville Daily. Why HaveThem At AU. Already there is discussion in a tendative way on the part of .the leadears of both the major political parties as to what the Presideniial platforms of 1940 should state by way of. promise ami position. It strikes us that this is a matter that the people can well afford to dismiss as of relative unimportance. PoHtical parties are, of course, snpyosed to have these things. Platforms are designed to state the policies and principles upon which a party goes bfeore the public and asks tor the power of control in Washington. But seeing as how they have been so flagrantly disregarded so far, one is justified in assuming that they represent little more than a yledge of performance which is uevei performed—mere scraps of paper. I—Charlotte Observer. Too Many Counties. Uniou Republican. The usual perennial question is bobbing up that North Carolinr has too maby counties and at least half of them should be consolidated but it will not get anywhere. A county as well as the county scat is a way, and what county in North Carolina wants to be abolished? Just listen from the howls that would eminate from Shelbv, Gas­ tonia, and Lincolnton were som? one has suggested that Cleveland, Gaston and Lincoln be consolidated inti one county. And we don’t imagine that the good people of Yadkin, Stores and Davie would like to be merged with Forsyth aad we don’t blame them The Raleigh News and Obsorver talking of this proposition to merge the counties of the state end have fewer says: "North Carolina with 100 cnunt- es has far more than it needs for economical and efficient local gov­ ernment. Getting rid of unneces­ sary counties is an almost impossible task. But in this day of greater speed and shorter distances all who are interested in better and cheaper government should not iorget that too many counties is oue Important aspect of high local taxes.

They stand so much higher than the common crowd that somehow or other we feel that we ought to lift our hat to them. “They challenge us; they inspire J is . They have succeeded, and suc­ cess is always appreciated by fair minds and honest hearts. And there is one thing you will always observe about' the unusual men who stand out like this—they make the most of themselves by diligent, thrifty, self-sacrificing and self-denying effjrt. “ When ugly circumstances cut a cross their - path, they only stuck out their chin gritted their teeth, rubbed their hands together, clench­ ed their fists and tackled the enemy of the progress^ “ When the winds of adversity blew against them, they only stiff ened their resolution and sank the roots of their courage into deeper soil. “ Rare, indeed, is it that a ‘softie’ ever amounts to so much that you will unconsciously want to stand at -attention in his preseuce. “Great men are made not beacuse of favorable circumstances which fell their way, but in spire of the unfavorable factors that met them along the path they were walking. “The career of every self-made man witnesses to-this truth.’’ Reynolds Overran By Office Seekers.

Whenever th e . government, whetbar lo:a\ state or national, dips down into any enterprise that has been privately owned and operated, and begins to complete, or to buy out and to- possess that particular field, it means that state socialism is in experiment. Considerable of this is already going on in this country. The Federal" government is constantly reaching out into these areas wherein private business and private industry have always been engaged. This is one of the answers to the vast amount of taxes that the people are bang made to pay. They are footing the bill for services now being performed by the state instead of by private interests. You can get a more dramatic idea of the extent of this trend in America by aerlizing that govern­ ment, local, state and national, is spending $120,000 every minute for each eight-hour working day, six days every week this year. And all of us, whether workers, emplopes or investors, are out hustling and gravelling for this capital for government to spend on services for the public, much ot which was previously performed by private enterprise, unsupported, therefore, by levies for taxes. It takes on an average more than onefourth of our time—two and one-fifth hour?, to be cxact, in each eigh’-hour working day — to produce enough income to equal what the government spends. - Charlotte Observer,: Here for An Indefinite Stay. The finance committees of the General Assembly have written their complete approval of the po­ licy of continuing tl.e three percent general sales tax, and there was not a whisper of debate when the mo­ tion was made, seconded and passed. There need have been none. Tbe sales tax is upon us for an indefinite stay. It produces reveues of sueh extent as to make it im­ perative than it be continued. Like it or not, this is the clear status. If the sales tax were to be ad*, rogated, the entire structure of general goverpmerttal services would fall to pieces. Where else could the State find $12,000,000 annually for the main, tenance of these services?—Char. Iotte Observer. A bachelor is a man who never makes the same mistake once. Abraham Lincoln. (Feb. 12, 1809—April 14, 1865) Abraham Lincoln first saw the Iiftht one cold morning in 1809 in Ketucky in a little log cobin. The cabin was a ramshackle af­ fair. the clearing in which it was built was rank with weed:=; the acre or so of corn that stretched away to the woods was choked with high arraaseB and creeping vines. Shiftless was written in big letters o/er the unkept garden and over every sagging log in the cabin wall?. Abraham’s father was a carpen­ ter, but he neglected his. trade to spend his time wandering about the woods, hi t gun in his hands, his dog it bis heels. To Mrs. Lincoln was left almost the entire care of the little ,clearing, and to the wonderful energy and brave cheerfulness of this woman. Lincoln owed the incentive of his life. “God bless my mother.” he raid in later fears. “All that I am I >r ever hopo to be, I owe to her.” When a log school was opened in the neighporhood. it was Mrs. Lin join who wished to send her children to learn the alphabet and master the spelling book. Mr. Lincoln grumbled, but the nother had her way. Her little son ind daughter attended the school so long as it was open. Ofter she gathered the children at her knees. ‘You must learn to read and write.” 4he said wistfully, a gaunt, toilworn hand, upon each upturned little head. “You must get knowledge, so when you grow up you will be wise and good.” ■When Abraham was eleven years old a school house was built not ver> far from their home, and the ques- t on again arose whether the boy should be allowed to attend. His father contended that a big, able* oodied boy like Abe, was of more use on their little farm than he cou'd ever be at Bchool; but hiB mother said, “ Mo, the boy must be given an education." At nineteen, Lincoln started into business for himself, trading with a float boat up and down. the Missis­ sippi River. It was not long after this, that the Lincoln family once nore started on the'trail. This time they moved to Illinois, where Lin* coin went into business as a clerk in charge of a store in New Salem, When Black Hawk War opened in 1832 he was elected captain of a com­ pany. Lincoln’s public career be- 4?an at tVje close of the war. For a time he served as postmaster in New. Salem, using every spare minute for he study of taw, and in 1836 he was admitted to the bar. About this time he “was a tall, gawky looking fellow, wearing a wide* brimmed straw hat without a band, a h me- spun shirt and clawhammer coat and trousers that did not meet his shoes by several inches.” Strangers felt when they looked at him, “This man is a . clown.” The moment he opened his mouth to speak, all consciousness of his un­ couth appearace vanished 'from their minds. So much confidence had the people of Illinois in the young a«- yer that they elected him to their Legislature, and in 1847 they sent him to C <ngress as one of their rep­ resentatives. For several years after his return from Washington he devoted him­ self entirely to the practice of law; but in 1854 when the entire country was. roused .over the Kansas-Ne- braska Bill regarding the admission of slave states to the Union. Lincoln again come to the front and took an active part in public affairs. Then followed the famous debates be­ tween Lincoln and Sttphen A Doug­ las upon the question of slavery. In 1860 Lincoln was nominated for the Presidency and was| elected in November. Upon the news- of his election the long expected division of of the nation .upon the slave ques­ tion occurred. even States seced­ ed from the Union, and the country mada ready for war. Oii the 1st day of January. 1863. Presilent Lincoln issued the Procla­mation of Emancipation, freeing the slaves. In 1864 he was re-elect ed the Presidency. On April 14,1865 Lincoln was as­ sassinated in a theater at Washing­ ton by John Wilkes Booth. The Tobacco Farmer’s Problem. The editor of the Progressive Far­ mer, Dr. Clarence Poe. who owns a big tobacco farm says in the Feb­ ruary issue of that Journal that he. along with most other tobacco grow­ ers, is puzzled to know how much acreage it is safe to plant this year. It is almost certain that there will be a big volume of increase in Genrg- >, ond several hundred per cent in­ crease in Florida and Alabama. Many people have asked: "Why was there’ such a big vote for control in these states when “control' held down each state’s acreage so much?” But the explanation is Bimplo enough: no* body could vote except thase whe­ al ready had allotments and they didn’t want competition from new growers. Ahd Georgia, Alabama, and flonda will have the advantage of planting ahead of us in the Cari olinas and Virgina. Then further increases will no doubt -be made right on up the map till the northern border of tha Virgina belt is reached. Of course we know that many far­ mers had inexcusably small allot­ ments under AAA “control” policies. Bntitmustolsobe recogn'z?d that the world Aill boy only so much flue- curred tobacco and that it doesn’t take so very much acreage to grow the last bit of it. Some friends thought we had made a mistake (but wet hadn’t) when we remarked recen­ tly over radio “AU the flue cured tobacco acreage in America could be put into too counties the size of Raliegh!” Low-priced cotton alone would have insured too much tobacco t'lis year. But worse than that, many many growers imagine that by over* planting this year they can get a big "base” for future “control years” and are thereby likely to ru'u prices for themselves and everybtdi else. We again call attention to Bradford Knapp’s story about the old Mis­ sissippi gamblers who would go to New Orleans and each one first of all would buy a ticket back home— safety firs-! And the two best safety roles for tobacco farmers this year are— I. “Food, Feed, and Fertility First” with tobacco a clean surplus; 2 A m to grow nothing but high- quality leaf.

CHAPTEK VIII—Contiimed —20— “Bert wasn’t in a condition to say much about anything,” Hale re­ minded Ainsworth. ‘‘But you must have seen what was going on,” he added. “You’re not the man to miss anything like that.” Then, looking at Ainsworth’s lolling figure, his sleekness, his air of well-being, and :his Cheshire Cat grin, Hale suddenly :lost his temper. “What I shall nev­ er be able to understand,” he brought out between his teeth, “is why you and Mrs. Spencer Forbes, who knew exactly what was going on, sat back and let it continue. You did know, didn’t you?” “I suppose so, in a way,” Ains­ worth drawled. “I knew he was scaring young Kneeland into a smash, but I didn’t know exactly why he was doing it. Of course I had my theories. I didn’t interfere because it was none of my busi­ ness.” Hex ground his teeth. His brown eyes looked red in the room’s shad­ed light. “All right,” he said. “We’ll let it go at that. It wasn’t your business, so you didn’t interfere. It wasn’t my business, either, but I did inter­ fere. I got Craig out. That’s all there is to it.” “Oh, come now,” Ainsworth was smiling tolerantly. “Don’t hold out on me, old man. Tell me how you did it. I’m immensely interested.” Rex had called his temper to heel and it obeyed him. “I can do that in one sentence,” he smiled. “I told several distin­ guished psychiatrists what was go­ing on, and found out from them how to stop it.” Ainsworth whistled softly. “You mean you actually gave Craig’s name to his colleagues, and threatened to have him kicked out of medicine?” “That’s the general idea. I can’t go into the details.” Ainsworth’s face had grown seri­ ous. There was a silence, which Hale did not break. “You certainly went to it, Big Boy,” Ainsworth commented. “It must have taken some nerve. I’m quite impressed.” “Thanks. I’m glad you’re im­ pressed. Because, to put it frankly, Ainsworth, I’m in good fightimg trim now. And I’m taking you on next!” 'Ainsworth straightened as if he had been struck. Then, very slow­ ly, he sank back in his chair. “Just what do you mean by that?” he asked gravely. . Hale grinned. “That’s right. Let’s take it cool­ ly. I’m going to tell you exactly what I mean. I mean that we don’t like your activities here at Halcyon Camp any better than we liked Craig’s. I mean that we’re going to stop them.” “We? Who do you mean by ‘we’?” Ainsworth almost purred the words. “By ‘we’ I mean your host, Cas­ per Kneel and,” Hale told him cheer­ fully, “and myself. Don’t cherish the notion that I’m butting in where I have no right to be. I’m Mr. Kneeland’s employee, and my prin­ cipal job was to get rid of the para­ sites and adventurers who. are abus­ ing his hospitality. I’ve done part of that job. Now I intend to finish it. “You see, Ainsworth,” he went on conversationally, as the other re­ mained silent, “you’re not dealing now with a middle-aged and tired man you think you’ve got a clutch on. You’re dealing with a man your own age who knows a whole lot more about you than you think he does. That’s quite a different mat­ ter.” “You won’t find me as easy to get rid of as Craig was,” Ainsworth re­ turned coolly. “In fact, my inter­ fering friend, I’m serving notice on you again that I’m staying here all summer.” Rex shook his head. “You’re mistaken,” he said grave­ ly. “You’re leaving, Ainsworth, and you’re leaving almost at once. You’re going to be out of here by tomorrow night. What’s more, you’re going to leave prettily and politely, like a little gentleman. You’re going to do it with a smile.” Ainsworth had laid dow nhis cig­ arette. “I know you’re up against it, Ains­ worth,” Rex went on. “I’ve been go­ing into your record. But your mis­ fortunes are no excuse for the things you’re doing. We’re all up against it more or less, these days. But we don’t all go in for a combination of extortion and saddism as you are doing." “By God, there’s a limit to what I’ll take from you,” Ainswortii said furiously. His self-control had snapped. Rex was glad' of it. In one way Ainsworth angry would be easier to handle than Ainsworth calm. “There may be,” he said quietly. “But it hasn’t been reached yet. I’ve got a lot of things to say to you, and if you’re wise you will keep quiet and listen to them. They are of vital interest to you. The first is this. You think you have Kneeland in your power. That may or may not be partly true. But there’s one thing that’s dead cer­ tain. I’ve got you by the short hairs. I can make you dance to any tune I play. When I remember what you’ve been doing to poor Kneeland .I’m tempted to play a tune that will give you a nasty dose of your own medicine.” Ainsworth yawned. He had pulled himself together again, and Rex ad­ mired his self-control. “I don’t want to seem rude to a guest,” he said. “But you make me terribly tired. “That’s nothing to the fatigue you’re going to feel a few minutes from now,” Hale prophesied. “That will be exhausting.” “I can easily believe you. AU right, get on with your story. To be candid I want to go to bed.” “That desire, too, will grow as I. proceed. I’U get on with my story all right. I’U mention in passing that it wiU be an unpleasant one.” “Go to it, go to it,”- Ainsworth urged weariiy. “If it hadn’t been for some UtQe things that happened up in my room,” Hale went on smoothly, “I’d have let you off this interview prefe calling his ,attention to some of his goings on,” Hale mentioned in pass­ ing. “He changed his mind. I think you wUl. rn get on faster if you don’t interrupt.” “If > there’s anything that wiU make you get on faster, Hale, I’m for it.”Ainsworth was smiling now. He lay back in his chair, relaxed and comfortable, one leg thrown easUy over the arm of the chair, his head resting against the padded chintz back. “Be comfy while you can,” Hale commended. “You’re in for a jolt pretty soon. As I was spying,” he went on, “you wrote your siUy threatening notes and you drew your siUy cobras and other sketches and left them on my desk. They didn’t disturb me in the least, but I was enough interested to have them fingerprinted and get your fin­gerprints for comparison. You may remember that you tore a page out of your note-book in the medical Ubrary one morning, and handed it to me. That was kind of you, be­ cause I hadn’t been able to get your fingerprints before. The fingerprints on that page were perfect. The 'But you make me terribly tired.” ty easily. I’d have offered myself as an intermediary between you and Kneeland and tried to fix up a settie- ment that would have been fair to you both.” “Then you admit that I have a just claim,” Ainsworth asked cold­ ly. “WeU, you’d better. If you knew what my mother went through while that fat white worm that calls itself Casper Kneeland was batten­ ing on her brother’s invention, you’d understand why I’ve made him dance.” “That may aU be true,” Rex ad­ mitted. “I don’t know anything about it except what Mr. Kneeland has told me. I’d have gone into the whole matter, got the best legal advice, and tried to make an impartial settlement.' I’d have done this as a matter of service to you both. But, of course, I immediate­ ly discovered what you were up to. “It wasn’t a diversion worthy of a gentleman of your ancestry,” Hale added smoothly. “It wasn’t a nice memorial to your mother. It was a nasty game. Doctors have an un­ pleasant name for. it It was a stu­ pid game, too,” he continued thoughtfully. “If that sort of thing is being done it ought to be done in privaite, not in the presence of a gallery of spectators. You forgot that, which was foolish of you. Or if you remembered it, you under­ estimated your audience. You thought they were all either as cal­ lous as yourself, or too self-ab­ sorbed to take in what you were doing. But Qiey took it in.” “My God, Hde, what a freshet of words you can send forth!” Ains­ worth yawned again. “I suppose it’s less trouble to listen than to talk, so proceed if you must” “Thanks. I promise you won’t be bored.” Hale stopped long enough to light another cigarette. “That was the situation when I came here,” he repeated. “I caught on at once to what you were doing and you saw that I did. In fact, you had foreseen that I would do so. You had made some plans in advance. They were queer IitHe plans. They were the sort that would only appeal to a mind like yours. Your mental make-up being what it is, you enjoyed carrying them out. You didn’t want me here, so you undertook to get rid of me by making me uncomfortable. On the face of it you seemed trying to frighten me off. Of course you real­ized that such kindergarten methods' wouldn’t' do that. Hiffiat you had in mind was to make it so unpleasant for me that I’d leave voluntarily. So you wrote your silly IitHe threat­ ening notes—” “What do these ravings mean, Hale? Are you out of your mind?” “Craig thought I was when I was fingerprints on the notes and sketches were identical with them. Fingerprinting is an exact science now, you know. I’ve learned a lot about it lately. I had the work done by a New York expert and he was very informative.” Ainsworth had stopped smoking. He took the cigarette out cf his mouth and looked at it thoughtfully. Then he put it back. “I did have a little fun with you,” he said calmly. “I enjoyed -think­ ing up those stunts and putting them over. What of it? It was noth­ ing more than we did at college.” “At prep school, you mean,” Rex corrected gently. “It represented about the prep school stage of men­ tal development. You went a few steps further when you put the dead cat in my room. Of course I couldn’t have poor Daisy fingerprinted, so I went up to Craig’s laboratory and choked him for it. Up till then, you see, I thought he was the man that poisoned animals around here. I was also giving him credit'for the notes and sketches and the wasps and all the other things. However, when I had his fingerprints made they vindicated him. He also con­ vinced me that he had nothing to do with the cat. Then I realized that poisoning pet-animals was in your line. It was right up your al­ley, in fact. But I didn’t regret the choking I gave Craig. He had earned that on the other counts.” “Hale, you’re actually beginning to interest me.” Ainsworth was leaning forward, his cigarette out, his face almost alive.“But it may surprise you to know that I never poisoned that cat,” he said. “You’re telling me that?” “Yes, I’m telling you that. I don’t care a damn whether you believe it or not. But as a matter of fact I didn’t kill the cat.” “If you didn’t, and Craig didn’t, who did?” “How should I know? But it’s an interesting point.” It was such an interesting point that they both sat silent for a mo­ ment considering it. Then Ains­ worth amplified his defense. “I found the cat, dead, lying back of the big tent at the entrance to the woods,” he explained. “It was Monday night. You had gone to New York. I picked it up and car­ ried it to your room as a IitHe sur­ prise for you when you got back. The next day I saw it at the foot of the third floor staircase. I thought you had thrown it there. I picked it up and got it out of the house to the place where I had found it. That’s all I had to do with the mat­ ter. I don’t kill animals.” Ainsworth got up. “Good night, Hale. Better luck next time you go hunting." Hale kept his seat. “Oh, I’m not going yet,” he said cheerfully. “I’ve got a lot more to say. I’m going to be so interesting from now on that when I finally stop you’ll be begging me to stay.” “That calls for some imagina­tion.” But Ainsworth’s eyes were watchful again. He sat down with a shrug and lit a fresh cigarette. “You’re quite right in saying that I wouldn’t have anything on you in the matter of the IitHe nuisances you’ve been committing,” Hale ad­mitted. “But, you see, you finished by nearly murdering me. That is something else again.” . “Any time you get around to ex­ plaining what you’re trying to say—” Ainsworth murmured. “I’m trying to say that you near­ ly murdered me,” Hale repeated patiently. “I’m telling you that when you put that powerful emetic in my water carafe, and I drank the entire glassful, it was touch and go for an hour whether I’d come through it.” “What rot are you talking now?” Ainsworth jerked out. His expres­ sion had changed and his watchful eyes never left his companion’s face. “I’ll assume that you didn’t mean to kill me,” Hale said soberly, "any more than you meant to injure me when you printed those anonymous letters. All you meant to do was to make me horribly sick. But you gave me a terrific dose—about four times the usual amount. As it hap­ pened, you gave that dose to a man who only a month, before had gone through a life-and-death tussle with pneumonia. That pneumonia tem­porarily weakened my heart. If I hadn’t had some brandy where I coidd reach it instantly,” Hale end­ ed very deliberately, “I’d be in my grave tonight and you would be facing a trial for murder. AU the evidence is on file against you— the threatening letters, the snake sketch, the tombstone, the skulls, the analysis of the doped water, the fingerprints on the carafe, the’state­ ment of the doctor I consulted next day as to the condition of my heart and the effects of such a dose on such a heart. Do you imagine the law would have accepted your ex­ planation that it was aU a friendly IitQe joke? Think that over, Ains­ worth. Then laugh it off, if you can.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Old Indian Mission Near Quebec Still Uses Ancient Silver and Gold Presents In the Indian village of Lorette- vHle, nine miles west of Quebec, is a treasure which Louis XIV of France and his mother, Anne of Austria, sent to a poor Indian mis­ sion 300 years ago, relates a writer in “So You’re Going.” Indian Lorette, as they caU it in Quebec, is a tiny village where most of the population are Huron Indians. On the one street, half way through the town, is an old church, no larger than a good-sized barn, and seating only about a hundred peo­ ple. Back of the church and con­ nected with it by a wooden entry­ way, is a house—the tiny frame house of the village priest, where the treasure is kept in a brick vault, specially built for the purpose, with double iron doors. No one not known to the. priest or brought by his friends is allowed to see it At the back of the tiny vault stands a glass cabinet with four shelves of silver and gold plate; tall, richly chased candlesticks, and wine and water cruets, and tremen­ dous spoons of silver which Louis XIV himself sent. There is a jewel- studded gold ostensoit sent by the city of Paris in 1664, and, there are two splendid cases containing rel­ ics of 11 saints sent by the city of Chartres in the same year. In a drawer beneath the cabinet are four pieces of the chasuble embroidered in the most elaborate patterns and fine stitches, by ladies-in-waiting of King Louis’ court. . When the humble priest of the vil­ lage of Lorette puts on Hie robes sent by Anne of Austria, sets the altar of this tiny church with the silver of King Louis XTV, and takes the golden ostensoit in his hands, there probably is no church on this continent more splendidly served. Having "A Screw Loose” The expression “a screw loose” is defined as “something wrong in the condition of things” or “a dan­ gerous weakness in some arrange­ ment” and according to the Oxford English dictionary the phrase had this sense at least since 1810. Later it was used in the sense of “some­ thing wrong with a person’s credit or reputation” and “a rift between two persons.” A derived meaning, the most usual, is “slightly crazy.” O k,~ "VTO. 1655—This is a particularly ’ youthful design in women’s sizes—nice for afternoon parties and general wear, too. The bod­ ice has gathers, to give you a nice bustline. The lifted waistline is slenderizing. This dress will be pretty in flat crepe, silk print or thin wool.No. 1681—Here is a practical house dress that you will enjoy having in wool or flat crepe, too. It has nice princess lines, and the scalloped closing, cut over at the side, gives a generous lap so that you need no fastening on the skirt.

Therefore, it is of greatest im­ portance to plant seeds according to directions on the packets. Ex­ tremely small seeds must be cov­ered only lightly with soil, accord­ ing to Walter H. Nixon, vegetable expert.The will to grow is strong in seeds, but they have their limita­ tions. To plant a tiny seed, like the petunia, under an inch of soil is like burying a man under a 20- story building and asking him to push it away. Heavier, larger seeds, of course, may be planted deeper. Beans and cucumbers may be covered with three-quarters of an inch to a full inch of soil. Peas and corn sprout vigorously and may be planted from an inch to an inch and one-half deep. Many successful home garden­ ers actually cover peas and corn with an extra half-inch of soil after they begin to push through. This protects them from birds, end also helps keep weeds down. terial, plus % yard of contrasting material and 2% yards of edging.' Spring Pattern Book. .

PARTON "MEW YpRK-The WPA barrel isn’t like the widow’s cruse of oil in the Bible. They expect to be scraping the bottom by next June. WDvt T it Who gets firedTroubie and when is a Shooter Finds naturally dis- Retief in Clouds tressing prob-lem, falling mainly on Dean Brimhall, trouble­ shooter and handyman for the WPA, who looks and talks like Sin­ clair Lewis and who used to hunt bears in Utah. Officially, he is di­ rector of the section on employ­ ment problems of the WPA, and just now these problems loom up like the peak range of his native Rocky mountains. Ax-grinders, angry congress­ men, union disputants, kickers, fixers, Utopians, and what not see Mr. Brimhall, and, when he isn’t taking this rap, he is ex- perting and editing administra­tion outputs on labor relations and employment, making sur­ veys on relief technique, or flying in his own plane to some spot where employment is ebbing. A trap-drummer is just snoozing along compared to Mr. Brim­ hall. Merely getting a bear by the tail was never like this. For relief or nerve tension, he hops into his plane now and then and makes a getaway in the clouds, which seems like a nice idea. Reared in the Church of the Lat­ ter Day Saints—his grandfather trekked west with Brigham Young —he was one of a group of twelve Utah business men, Marriner Ec- cles among them, who craved New Deal action for some of their ideas. Six of them are still active. On the side, he still maintains a live interest in four different concerns— an airplane company, a railroad company, a lumber business and extensive real estate interests. Og­ den is his home town. He hauled coal to pay for his education at Brigham Young university, and one winter he • maintained his family nicely with a shotgun, hunting large and small game. Under Mc- Keen Cattell at Columbia uni­versity, be studied experiment­ al psychology and later taught that subject at Columbia and Brigham Young. He saw the Wrights make their first Euro­ pean flight and he has been in­ terested in flying ever since— flying and hunting. On every week-end and holiday he’s high in the sky, his plane poised- and pointed toward his beloved Rockies. But there seems to be no likelihood of bis doing a “wrong-way Corrigan.” He says he still could get a living with a shotgun, but instead of his gun he has to shoulder the troubles of citizens less versatile. 'TaHE United States senate, pos- sibly “standin’ in the need of prayer,” does away with piece-work supplication and puts praying on c .-M Jthe reSular Senate, tn Need, daily schedule. Puts Daily Task Last year, the On Its Chaplain occasional prayers by the official chaplain, the Rev. Ze Bar­ ney Thorne Phillips cost the govern­ment $420 a prayer. Now the rate for each will be about $16,' as Mr. Phillips gets $1,680 a year. The change was brought about by a resolution by Sena­ tor Neely, by which the senate will be opened by prayer on every calendar day, instead of only on “legislative” days as in the past. The latter are a fic­ tion by which the senate may free itself from things diurnal, as effectively as did Joshua. But, since the senate is entitled to a good prayer on every real, not figurative, working day, it is going to get it. Possibly as a tribute to Chaplain Phillips’ prayers, the vote on Senator Neely’s resolution was unani­ mous. While both parties in the senate have on many occasions claimed divine guidance and inspiration for their side, Mr. Phillips, although a Republican, appointed by Calvin Coolidge in 1927, has been strictly non-partisan. He is a distinguished Episcopalian clergyman, rector of the Church of the Epiphany of Washington, and has discharged his office with simple eloquence and dignity. Chaplain Phillips, 63 years old, is a native of Springfield, Ohio, educated at Wittenberg college and the General Theo- ' logical seminary. 'He engaged In special studies at Oxford in 1910 and 1911 and has served pastorates in Cincinnati, Chi­ cago, St. Louis and Philadel­ phia. His children are named Faith, Deacon and Sallie Hews. <£> Consolidated News Features.WNU Service.

Star Dnst King Tyrone Off the Air ■If Joan Signs for 5 Years -Jf Fan Gets New Illusions B y V irg in ia V a le ------ THERE’LL be no more Ty­ rone Power on the radio, by order of his boss, Darryl Zanuck, production head of Twentieth Century-Fox. Mr. Zanuck made this announce­ ment as a result of pro­ tests from theater exhibitors against too many appear- •ances of screen stars on radio programs. Mr. Zanuck stated that he had no quarrel with radio, but that the stars were en­dangered because it was so difficult to get adequate material for those weekly appearances, especially since it must be new. So Tyrone, recently elected king of the movies by some 22,000 news­ paper readers, had to go off the air. Joan Blondell has tied up her future again, so far as making ^ _ movies is concerned. She’s signed with 4 Columbia to make ' two pictures a year U K M V f°r five years, and starts the ball roll­ ing with “Good , , Girls Go to Paris, J Too,” originally scheduled for Jean Arthur. It’s said that Columbia want- ed to borrow her for Joan that one some BIondell months ago, and that Warner Broth­ers’ refusal to lend her was at least partly responsible for her winding up her contract. I MadeleineCarroll “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” will be retired from cir­culation the first of April, after breaking records In every impor­tant city all over the world, and will probably be re-issued again about this time next year. It cost $1,700,- 000 to make, and will gross about eight million. It played in 41 coun­tries, and was the first sound pic­ ture to be translated into a “talking book” for the blind. And “Dopey” got more fan mail than all the other characters put together. — When Madeleine Carroll paused recently in New York on her way from Europe to Hol­ lywood she shat- /■ tered one movie fan’s illusions. The gm* _ .. movie - mad girl HHL » . Jm went to a smart night club, and dur­ ing the course of the evening noticed a rather buxom young lady who danced every dance with great enthusi­ asm. She had on rather dismal look­ing gun-metal col­ ored hose and very flat shoes, re­ported the movie fan. Decidedly not smart. But her hat was an un- copyable French bicorne, and the collar of her suit marked it as one of the latest efforts of a famous French modiste. . Suddenly the rather buxom young lady smiled, and the movie fan wilted. She had recognized Miss CarroU—and had learned that movie stars, when left to their own de­vices, aren’t always as smartly dressed as they are on the screen. Incidentally, the next CarroU pic­ ture is “Cafe Society,” and the one after that is caUed “Air Raid,” and is the story of two young people caught in a city in the war zone. HoUywood has to be awfuUy care­ ful about these war pictures. In “Idiot’s Delight,” for example, Es­ peranto was used instead of ItaUan, French or German, just to avoid the danger of angry protests from foreign governments. When it was done as a play no such precaution was taken. When fame begins to come to a radio performerjt certainly comes fast. Kay Kyser, the orchestra leader, wasn’t particularly well known even so recently as a year ago. Now he’s so well established at toe top of toe ladder that when he signed recently to appear with his band at a New York movie house toe contract called for a sal­ ary of $12,500 a week—an aU-time high. —m— Want to know what sort of thing is likely to trouble big executives? It seems that there were weeks of huddles over the title for Raymond Paige’s new program. It was to be caUed “100 Men and a Girl,” and Paige had 100 men in his band, and the girl was HUdegarde and everything was fine. But Universal owned the title—remember the pic­ ture by that name? EventuaUy somebody thought up “99 Men and a Girl,” and after more indecision because that was pretty close to the original it was cleared.

M bac-d ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS Elmo Scott Watson Historic Footrace TA^HEN Capt. John Whistler ar- rived on the shores of Lake Michigan in 1803 to build a military post—Fort Dearborn of tragic mem­ ory—one of the subalterns in his command was his son, Lieut. Wil­ liam Whistler. Young Whistler was more than six feet tall and famous for his strength and endurance. A frequent visitor at Fort Dear- boni was a young Pottawatomie chief, the champion runner of the tribe. Believing that Lieutenant Whistler was just the man to spoil the Indian’s record, the officers at the fort proposed a five-mile foot­ race between the two men to which they readily agreed. The race was a thriller. At the start the Pottawatomie sprang into the lead and held it for almost the entire distance. But near the end young Whistler managed to close the gap between them and by a final burst of speed plunged across the finish line several yards ahead of his rival. The race had an exciting sequeL During the War of 1812 the same Pottawatomie chief, who was now an ally of the British, sent a chal­ lenge for a hand-to-hand combat with Whistler or any other officer or soldier in the American army. Whistler promptly accepted. It was agreed that no firearms were to be used. The fight began. Whistler dodged the tomahawk that was burled at him and closed in on his opponent. The Indian stabbed at him with his long hunting knife but missed. Then the lieutenant’s sword finished the dueL ... An American Mandarin IN 1859 Taiping rebels had almost 1 overthrown the Manchu dynasty in China. Fifteen of the eighteen .provinces had been captured when Frederick T. Ward, a 28-year-old sailor from Salem, Mass., quit his ship and offered to put down the revolution—if they would pay him $75,000 for each city recaptured. The rebels were knocking at the gates, of Shanghai when the Manchu leaders agreed to young Ward’s price and allowed him .to train his own army. He recruited his men from among the human derelicts around the wharves, but he instilled in them the discipline he had learned as a soldier in the French army during the Crimean war. Then, at the head of 500 men, and with a pistol in each hand, he or­ dered an attack on Sungkiang, held by 5,000 rebels. His men fought hand to hand on the top of the city wall and held it by tossing over the bodies of Taiping soldiers. In 24 hours Manchu re-enforcements ar­ rived. When the battle was over, Ward had only 128 men left and 100 of them were wounded. But he had earned his first $75,000 and a wide reputation as a military leader. He continued to fight, successfully taking the city of Singpo by outma- neuvering 20,000 Taiping rebels. When they again threatened Shang­ hai, he drove 10,000 of them back 10 miles with a force of only 2,500. Then he took the city of Quanfuling. Ward was made a mandarin and his fame spread throughout the em­ pire. Soon he was able to increase his well-trained army to 6,000 men, besides piling up a huge fortune. He had been wounded five times, but in September, 1862, in a battle at Tseki, he was hit for the sixth time and killed. The Chinese mourned him as a national hero and buried him in the Temple of Confu­ cius at Sungkiang. O * • Eskimo Heroine TN 1921, science attempted to find 1 out whether nian could live on the otherwise uninhabited islands of the Arctic. The experiment proved more. It revealed to the world the calm heroism of Ada Blackjack, who will be remembered ’ as the most courageous woman of the Es­ kimo race.Four men were landed with a- year’s supplies on Wrangel island, HO miles north of Siberia in the Arctic. Ada Blackjack went along as seamstress, cook and servant. One year later a relief ship was to pick them up. The year passed but ice floes blocked the relief ship. Lorne Knight, one of the four men, became ill with scurvy. The other three IdEt on a trek across the ice to Siberia to send a rescue party. No one ever heard of them again. Left alone with Knight, Ada Blackjack went through eight months more of mental torture. For two months she nursed him.'Then he died. The relief ship finally came. They found her still keeping the diary that Knight had turned over to her when he could no longer hold « pencil. One entry in the diary read: “God is the only one who will brought me home again.” God did not fail the faith and persistent courage that enabled Ada Blackjack rfo face, a seemingly hopeless situation with­ out breaking.■ Western Newspaper union. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By HABOLD L. LUNDQUISTt D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Ir rtitute of Chicago.$ Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for March 5 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Reugious Education: used by permission, PETER PREACHES TO GENTILES LESSON TEXT—Acts 10:3048.GOLDEN TEXT—Look unto me.-and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there Is" none else.—Isaiah 45:22. “God is no respecter of persons.”. Sometimes one wonders whether many of His people know about that glorious attribute of the Godhead. One thing is evident, that very few care to practice this divine princi­ ple. Just now the world seems to have gone entirely berserk in its proclamation of race superiority. Along with undue and improper rec­ ognition of wealth and position, there has always been in the hearts of men a measure of prejudice against other races. These hatreds seem now to have been fanned to a flaming intolerance of such as are not of what some regard as their own superior race. The more definite this intolerance, the more unlike God people really are. Let us weigh ourselves in the balances and see if we too are found wanting. I. “In Every Nation” (w. 30-35). Peter was a Jew, and God nowused a vision to teach him a much- needed lesson regarding the carry­ ing of the gospel to the .Gentiles. The Jews were (and still are—let us remember it) God’s chosen peo­ ple. However, they were not cho­ sen for their own comfort, conven­ ience, or glory, but that they might be channels for the outflowing of God’s blessing to all nations. Cornelius was typical of those, in every nation who are ready for the preaching of the gospeL He was a God-fearing, righteous man, but none the less in need of redemp­ tion. God brought this man who was ready to receive the message together with the man Peter who was prepared to preach it, and the result was salvation. Whatever it may be that keeps us from carrying the gospel to all nations, we ought to recognize as un­ christian, and put it aside. It may be race-prejudice, for it still per­ sists; but it may be an equally dead­ ly indifference to the needs of oth­ ers. Let us, like Peter, go to them and open our mouths (v. 34) to pro­claim Christ. II. “Good Tidings of Peace” (w. 36-43). The death of Christ for their sins (v. 39), His resurrection from the dead for their justification (v. 40), the coming judgment for sin (v. 42), and remission of sins in His name— these are the essentials of Peter’s message. Note how plain is the truth. Jesus has come and has wrought redemption for all who will believe. Now we must choose wheth­ er we want Him to be our Judge or our Redeemer. It is a case of “either—or.” Either He is your Sav­ iour, or He will be your Judge. “God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that be­ lieveth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:17, 18). The proclamation of this message of redemption was never completed, even “while Peter yet spake these words, the -Holy Spirit fell upon them all” (v. 44). Blessed inter­ ruption! Would that we might have more like it in our churches and Bible schools. • HI. “The Holy Spirit Fell” (w. 44-48). Notice that He came upon “them which heard the word” (v. 41). Book reviews, political addresses, discus­ sion of civic or social problems will not bring the result. Forums, clubs, discussion groups, unless they have for their subject the Word of God, need not expect anything like this to happen. But preaching of the Word of God concerning the person and work of Christ, whether it be in a home (like .'that of Cornelius) or in the great cathedral (and thank God some of them do have such preaching), will result in some soul finding Christ, and receiving the Holy Spirit. It is worthy of note that these be­ lievers gave evidence of their new­ found spiritual life by magnifying God, obeying His word, and testify­ ing to others. It is to the credit of Peter and his companions that they recognized the workings of God’s grace in the lives of these Gentiles. May we also be quick to see, -ap­ preciate, and encourage every true gospel work, whether it bo among our own people’ or with some other race, whether in our church .or in some humble cottage.' “God is no respecter of persons.” Revelation Must Speak Let Reason couiit the stars, weigh the mountains, fathom the depths— the employment becomes her, and the success is glorious. But when the question is: “How shall man be just with God?” reason must be si­ lent/revelation must speak; and'he who will not hear it assimilates himself to the first deist,-Cain; he may not kill a bro.ther, he certainly destroys himself.—Henry MelvPl W ages and Advertising THERE is a lot of advertising in this country and it has a defi­nite purpose. It is there because our merchants want to sell us au­ tomobiles, chewing gum, tooth­ paste, refrigerators and oranges. They know that advertising helps to sell these things and thousands of others, and they know that it provides a valuable information service to consumers. That much is plain, but did you ever stop to consider that adver­ tising affects your personal in­ come? No matter what your occu­ pation, the amount of your sal­ ary or wages is affected by the total volume of advertising on the part of all manufacturers and storekeepers everywhere. This statement is worth examining. In this country, we produce and consume more than twice as much goods for every man, wom­ an, and child as is produced and used in other principal countries of the world. Why is this? Not merely because we have vast nat­ ural resources. Not just'because we are better at inventing and or­ganizing. It is mostly because we all want so much to have the good things in life and because we have the individual ambition and ener­gy to get them. The purchasing power of American people is used S tates' Names Louisiana was named for King Louis XIV of France. Ohio means “great river.” Virginia was named in honor of Queen Elizabeth of England. Maryland was named for Queen Henrietta Maria of Eng­ land. Minnesota means "sky-blue water.” Pennsylvania was named for William Penn, the famous Quaker. Florida was named for East­ er Sunday—Pascua Florida, the Spanish “feast of flowers.” Washington was named in honor of George Washington. all the time and it revolves fast. This is where advertising comes in. It creates desires for new things and encourages ambition for higher standards of living. Suggestions from the merchant’s advertising are often responsible for the purchase of a new living- room rug, an automobile, better clothes, or a new kind of break­ fast food. Millions of purchases are in­ spired by advertising. When the volume of buying is high, business is good and there are many jobs. It is not only the ability of con­ sumers to buy goods but also their desire to buy that makes factories run at full speed. .Advertising is one of the greatest stimulators of buying desire that has ever been known. New industries depend on ad­ vertising to get started. A fac­ tory is built to manufacture a clever electric razor. No one ever heard of such a thing before. Hardly anybody wants to buy the device until the manufacturer ex­ plains its advantages in a national advertising campaign. Almost im­ mediately, thousands of men buy these machines and the company increases production. The result is lots of new jobs for factory workers and traveling salesmen. Advertising has built many oth­ er new industries, big ones and little ones. Similarly, advertising has expanded countless old indus­ tries. Raw material and other re­ lated industries are directly bene­ fited. In every case it means more 'employment, more wages. Our whole economic life is speeded up, the national purchasing power is enlarged, and' everybody’s income goes up. The merchandising force of ad­ vertising is very important among the various factors responsible for our having the highest wage level in the world, with a buying power nearly twice that in Great Britain, two and one-half times as great as in Germany, and more than ten times as high as wages in Russia. In more ways than one, advertis­ ing gives a lift to the pay enve­ lope. Copyright, 1939. Fast ThinMng Saved : This Forgetful Huhby He was conscious that trouble was brewing when he went out in the morning. When he got home that night he learned what he had done. With tears in her eyes his wife ex­ claimed: “i knowyou don’t love me —you’ve forgotten my birthday!" “Darling,” he said, “I’m more sorry than I can say—but it is really your fault.” “My fault?” she exclaimed. “How can that be?” He took her hand in his. “How can I remember your birthday," he asked, “when there is never anything about you to remind me that you are a day older than you were a year ago?” Pigs, Cows, Eggs by Air In northern Canada the air­ plane pilot is .milkman, grocer, Mitcher, and heavy freight han­ dler to scores of isolated mining towns and trading posts, reports the Commentator magazine. Be­ sides the usual traffic in all sorts of mining equipment and dry stuffs that daily wings its way into the North, fresh food is also carried. Grapefruit today is a breakfast fruit even 200 miles north of the Arctic circle. Fresh eggs, milk and vegetables of all kinds are shipped in large quantities by air. Where there are many children, even live cows have been carried by plane to provide fresh milk. Live pigs and chickens are daily passengers on the northern aerial freighters. On the trip back, besides the usual run of gold and furs, planes have at least half a cargo of fresh fish.

IT'S THE ONlY TIRE MADE WITH THE N E W SAFETY-LOCK CORD BODY and GEAR-CRIP TREAD * C ar OWNERS; everywhere are acclaiming the extra blowout protection and non-skid safety of the new Firestmie Cham pion T ire. And autom obile _ , manufacturers, knowing its outstanding performance, have adopted it for their new 1939 models. On every hand you hear, “It’s the most effective tire we have ever had on wet pavement and in mud and snow!" It’s the hit of 1939! > The Firestone Champion Tire is a completely new achievement in safety engineering and the result of a new and revolutionary means of locking greater safety into the cord body of a tire. This is accomplished first, by the use of a new type of tire cord called “Safety-Lock,” in w hich the cotton fibers are more compactly interwoven to give greater strength. And then the fibers in each individual cord, the cords in each ply and die plies themselves are all securely locked together by a new and advanced Firestone process of Gum-Dipping, which provides amazingly greater strength—and greater strength means greater safety. The new Safety-Lock cord construction gives the added strength that makes possible the use of the new thicker, tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip Tread, which provides remarkably longer non-skid mileage.

Tampa, Fla.—Florida’s agricul­ tural and Industraial resources will go on parade at the Pan-American Hernando DeSoto Exposition In Tampa trom January 31 to Febru­ ary 18. when the annual State Fair will be combined with the ceremonies which will commem­ orate the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Spanish conquis­ tadors on the shores of Old Tampa Bay In 1539. Sponsored by the United States Government, supported by the ten Southern states traversed by the DeSoto expedition in the first great Invasion of the American wilderness and featuring elaborate exhibits from Latin-Amerlcan na­ tions, the Tampa Exposition gives promise of being the greatest event of the kind ever attempted In the Southland. Generally accepted as the great­ est opportunity that has ever been presented to Florida to acquaint the world with its remarkable assets, the State Department of Agriculture, Department of Edu­ cation, Bureau of Fisheries, and affiliated agencies have combined with counties, communities and agriculturists In the preparation of magnificent exhibits. There will be 24 modern steel and concrete fireproof buildings to house the display, including the new United States- Government temple where the Federal exhibi­ tion will be presented under the direction of Dr. Alexander V. Dye, presidential appointee. Colorful oil paintings, the property of the Smithsonian Institute, will tell the running story of the DeSoto expe­ dition. Citrus, embracing every variety, In all its golden glory will again predominate throughout the ex­ hibition halls. While hundreds of Individual growers will have dis­ plays, the most pretentious arrays will be presented by Manatee, Pas­ co, Polk, Seminole, Sumter, Ala­ chua, Hillsboro, Lee, Highlands, Palm Beach, Pinellas, Hernando, Marion and Levy counties. Sever­ al communities will also vie for the blue ribbon awards with elab­ orate shows. While citrus will be most prom­ inent, it will hardly overshadow the agrarian representations that will include every product of tbe. soil indigenous to Florida. Sep­ arate competitive classifications have been established for hay, grain, forage, vegetables, canned , and preserved products, sugar cane, syrup, tobacco, home-caifi meats, cotton, nuts, fruits, berries, flowers, honey and countless other Items that contribute to Florldall productive wealth. No other area In the world to capable of duplicating the FIorIdi .State Fair’s magnificent hoMf1 show, either In variety, quality Cr magnitude. There will be mere than a dozen varieties represented In the 2 0 tons shown and augment­ ing the display will be an anus of apiary subsidary products and artistic wax figures. Demonstm- tlons of an educational naturs is show the uses of honey In culinary arts will be included. More magnificent than ever Wll be the annual flower show which this year, In greatly enlarged quar­ ters, will make possible landscap-. Ing displays of considerable mag­ nitude. Florists, garden clubs, land­ scape artists and individual Ooml hobbiests have combined their ef­ forts to present the most colorful - exhibition in Florida’s history. It was only a few years ago that the Florida Livestock Association launched a program to improve the market value of native herds through cross-breeding with thor­ oughbreds and as an educational medium a beef cattle show waB added to Florida State Fair depart­ ments. This year there will he more than 300 head of pure-brod and hybrid animals on display from Florida ranges, together with se»- eral championship herds from northern states to represent tbe various breed associations: Cognizant of the tremendous Impetus that the beef cattle Indus­ try received through the Florida State Fair show, dairy lnteresta over the state petitioned for rep­ resentation with the result that this year a department has been added to accommodate these class­ es. It is one of the initial steps taken by the Dairy Association to improve producing herds and to prove to Florida’s northern vis­ itors that this state can match In quality of dairy products any area in the country. I There will be more than 50 head of fine dairy cattle in the show. Again this winter the State Fair will present Its open to the world poultry show where hundreds of varieties of domestic and wild fowl will be shown. There will be In the neighborhood of 6,000 at*-— birds In the pens, many of them from Florida farms. Pigeons, pet stock and song birds will each have a separate department. 'Feminine handicraft, which each year provides one of the most in­ teresting exhibitions at the Fair, will be displayed in enlarged quar­ ters this winter and more than 1 0 .0 9 0 items, produced by amateur domestic artists, will be shown. Near by will be the Department of Fine Arts, where the work of both professional and amateur ex­ ponents of esthetics will be pres­ ent-magnificent. displays of oil, water, pastel and similar work. One entire building will be de­ voted to the display of educational work from Florida'schools, includ­ ing public, private and vocational institutions. More than 2.000 members of the Future Farmers of America parti­ cipated in the State Fair last year and indications are that the num­ ber will be greatly increased this year. A hundred schools through­ out the state will be represented and will send judging teams to compete for cash prizes. Complete within itself will be the Negro exhibition which occu­ pies an entire building where the products of Florida’s industrious colored population form a mag­ nificent show, greater in scope than the offerings of many complete smaller fairs throughout the coun­ try.

All report a jolly time, and plenty of | Maj. McLendon’s Warn­ ing. First thing he knows Major L P. McLendon will be hearing himself read out of tbe Democratic party. It is not good Democratic doctrine and decidedly dangerous to be say­ ing that unless the party in this State mends its ways, the State is going to elect a Republican gover­ n s the first good chance its gets. Yet that is what the former chair­ man of tbe State Board of Elec- tions told a. gathering of Young Democrats at Durham the other night. Major McLendon, it will be re­ membered strongly advocated the repeal of the absentee ballot law in recommendations to tbe legislature while he was chairman of the elec­ tions board AnJ in tbe Burgin- Deane congressional contest he found occasion to uncover abuses of tbe taw which tbe more firmly establish his conclusion concerning its iniquity. And that was what he mainly'in mind when he was addressing the young party stal­ warts at Durham Major McLendon laid dewn this principle that cannot be challenged by straight-thinking party Well- wishers: “If the record of the par ty or its candidate is not good en­ ough to win on merit, it deserves to lose.” That is Contrary to the generally accepted view of the strictly partison politician. To him the Democratic label is all that is necessary, no matter wbat it covers, or what methods are em­ ployed to stick it on a candidate. Much can be said in favor of tbe absentee ballot. It was designed to serve a good purpose," and could continue to serve a wottby end. Yet it has been so warped and jost­ led by the party that created it, that it has become something to be apologized for even by its own creators. Right now the legislature -is wrestling with the problem of po­ lishing up this cog in our election machinery, but those who are ex­ pecting to see it mesh with cogs in truly election reform, may as well get ready f o r disappointment. When those in charge of its revi­ sion boldly say that they would spare spare it from use in the fami Iy fight, but retain it in all its wick­ edness for battling tbe Republicans, they arc flying in the face of tbe warning of Major McLendon, and eventually they will pay the price that be is talking about.—States­ ville Daily. Debt Mounting Higher And Higher. Secretaryof the Treasury Mor- genthau told a congressional com­ mittee the past week that the na­ tional debt would reach Fifty Bil­ lion Dollars ($50,000,000,000) and could do so without danger to the country’s financial structure. Such a total would be $5,000,- 000,000 in excess of the current lim­ itation on the public debt and in­ formed bouse members said that Would necessitate raising the limit. Morgenthau’s statement, made to a house apprbariations sub-corn- mittee considering the treasury postoffice supply bill, p ovoked con­ siderable discussion.' Members said the recaetary’s statement that the huge debt should be assumed without danger was challenged immediately in the com. mittee.—Ex.

Senator Nye makes tbe point that the United States, in permitting the sale and shipment of arms and implements of war to Germany and Japan, particularly to Germany a gainst specific ' treaty provisions, helped these governments to per­ fect their atmaments, and wonders why at this late date we should be alarmed .over their accomplish­ ments. " 'A s far as be goes the Senator is plausible, but he fails to reveal why he and his fellow critics remained silent when this aid was being ex­ tended, or if not exactly silent, why they were not as loud in their pro* tests as now when Frances comer,, as France has a perfect legal, right to ct me, t*. buy a few war planes off us. Could it he that a presid- dential election eighteen months off spells the difference? When these protests with all their arm-fiihging are taken apart to see what makes them cliak, it will be found that political expediency is the motiva­ ting power back of them, whether they come from tbe Republican ranks, or from the Presiden’t own political household. AU of us want peace, and all of us will string along with those who would be cautious about any pos­ sible foreign entanglements' but most of us have no political axe to grind would stop-before giving en­ couragement to the world distur­ bing dictators, who must be impress­ ed by our wrangling to believe that they have a substantial bloc of well- wishers in this country or that we are totally unable to agree on an}-- thing. It seems plausible, this argument that we should rot endanger our own preparedness program; that we should not allow our plants to be loaded with foreign , orders, to the point where we.would have to stand' in line while they are served..’ But has Congress authorized -. definitely any such program for ourselves? Have definite oiders for planes been and must the- makers mark time while Congress talks itself blue in the face? With all of our boasted record for mass production-, and with, our millions of idle workmen needing to earn to live, it is not very com plimentary that we can neither do our own family wash nor take in a few soiled shirts from the Outside. But the 1940 elections are just a- round the corner and ambitious po­ liticians m ust. first be served.— Statesville Daily. Fox Chase Ends On Front Porch. One of the most peculiar endings ever .recorded for a fox race was enacted at the home of J. R. Hall of the Friendship community near Yadkinville last week when a pack of fox hounds chased a red fox on 10 his front porch and killed it there, according to R. A. .Jessup of East Bend. ‘: The fox was jumped by a large pack of hounds and after leading them over a large part; of Yadkin county, headed in the direction of Mr. Hall’s horn*, where, exhausted it took, refuge on the front porch. Mr. Hall, arousod by the noise, quickly went to investigate and found the animal dead, with the hounds standing guard, Dangerous Habit.

The President warned Congress Wednesday that uuemmended' the immediate consideration of the ap­ propriation or $150,000,000 more for WPA. This is proving to be the largest “emergency” In tbe history of our country. Billions upon billions of dollars have been spent in pump priming and in other ways, but apr parently all these expenditures have been of no avail. The emergency still exists. We believe, however, that we can give you a fairly accurate idea ot how much longer it is goiug to last. It w illlastasIongas the Gov­ ernment continues to act the part of Santa Claus; as long as hand­ outs are given to the people who are making no effert to help them­ selves; as long as individuals fail to realize their own responsibilities; as long as Business is afraid to expand and permit the employment Of ad ditional - men and women, — The State. Crimes Of Violence No less than 85 persons have been executed by the state of North Carolina in the past five pears. j It is interesting to note that onlv seven states in the union have a large number of executions for the period. It is somethiug for the gocd people of North Carolina to tnrn over in their minds. It is a gruesome record and one which does not look good. The record wonld look better if we were getting anywhere, in the fight against caitne. But tbe fact remains that crimes of violence continue in all parts of the state and that deatu row at the penitentiary is kept full which condemned on the waiting list. But even the record of executions is. not dtterring criminals. The continued iecord ot capital crimes and the ghart’y number of execvtions has led some beleave that capital punishment should be abolished while others take a direct Iy opposite viewpoint, advocating a return to the old method cf public bangings in the counties where tbe crimes were committed. Summing up the entire question, it must be admitted th t society is failing to wholly its full responsibil­ ity in training and' guiding youth along the straight way.' Young people, and especially children whose lives are more tender in the formative stage, should be reminded daily that the “straight anp narrow” is the only right way through life, and that even a small sowing of wild oats mav lead to a bonntiful and disastrous harvest.— Ex. ■ ' No Good Ones.

But that is exactly ,what it will do, and it’s op to ..this Legislature and the people of North Carolina to de­ cide whether they want to raise re­ venue through the promiscuous operation of gambling devices, or not. There ia no need to discuss the merits or demerits of slot machines. Everyone is acquainted with them. Everyone knows of the vast sums that are expended in these: contrap­ tions, particularly by boys and girls. They are a bae influence from every point of view. . "But,” the Finance Committee in­ sists, “the new section expressly pro­ hibits the operation of gambling machines.” If it does, then why did the com­ mittee reject Gregg Cherry’s amend­ ment that nothing in the new section should be construed as conflicting with tbe regulations prescribed in the Flanagan Act, adopted in 1937? The fact that the Cherry amend­ ment was rejected is .prima facie evidence that the bars have been let down'-. And if you let down the slot machine bars as much as ore inch, you might just as well remove them entirely. If the revenue bill is enacted into law. as it now stands, it means that tbe people of North Carol na have chosen to continue fleecing the boys and girls of North Carolina, and the general public as well.—The State.

We also beFeve that if a county want-: to do awav with the .sale of wine and beer within its boundaries, that county should have the privi­ lege of doing so. • The beer and wine bill was possed as a state-wide measure, but that doesu’t altea tbe situation. Every county has tbe inherent right of exempting itself from legislation of this kind and following its own wishes in the matter. We suggest that those countries that want to get rid of. wine and beer be permitted to do so. On the other band, we believe that those counties ! that want to keep on selling wine and beer also be allowed to do so. But if a majority of counties ere going to compel an 1ndividt1.il county to sell beer and wine, when that ,county doesn’t w-nt to do it, then a situation will be brought about which may result in retaliato'v legislation of a type which many of the other countries may not like st all .— The State..

WHO’S NEWS t<mi THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON TS1TEW YORK. — Secretary HuU may or may not have noticed that Veloz and Yolanda, dark, suave and graceful American dance team, have just brought back from Europe _ _ . the carmagnole,Vaneers Bring which, when the ,War Step With peasants begin Peacefallntent stepping it is supposed to fore­ tell war. They say they saw the vil­lagers warming up the old dance, in •Monaco and France, and that thoughtful citizens were uneasy. It iis supposed to have paced the first frantic rhythm of the French revolu­ tion. Nobody knows just how it started, but, when it gets going in a roadside bistro or on a village !green, you’d better hunt for cover. That’s their story and they stick to it. These limber young New Yorkers are probably tops In earnings as a dance team, and are said to have been paid more on their European trip than any other dancers, past or present. . When they first teamed np in 1926, Frank Veloz bought a $22.50 tuxedo and borrowed his father’s white vest, which was too big for him. Yolanda Cas- sazi borrowed a pink ballet skirt and slippers from a friend. Hie slippers were much too large and she had to stuff them with tissue paper. They had much in common, and could keep in step with each other, bnt not with the music. They lasted ose week and were fired from the next M jobs before they began to click. He was an accountant for an op­ tical company, 20 years old, when, at a dance hall, he saw the 16-year- old Yolanda making heavy weather with a hard-working partner. He cut in and said, “Listen, fumble- foot, don’t be afraid to loosen up—, like this.” That was the beginning of a lucrative friendship. They won 40 prizes together, around the dance balls, before their first professional engagement. They have now had about five years in Ute box-office stratosphere, with, as yet, no arthritis set­ ting in.As to any hint of war-mongering, in bringing over the carmagnole, they say their enlightened public will understand this is just a folk dance and won’t start any trouble.

Many Spring Suits Feature Definitely Longer Jackets By CHERIE NICHOLAS JS IfOR quite some time there have been rumors that longer-jacket suits are coming in, and the big news is that they are actually “in.” See several of the latest arrivals shown in the illustration.Not that every jacket with every suit is longer this season for the legions and legions of nifty now- so-voguish snug-fitting types that so gaily flaunt bright plaid- and wool stripes atop youthful pleated - or many-gored monotone skirts would rise up in utter protest to such a statement. When we say “jackets are definitely longer” we are re­ ferring to certain models recently turned out by leading designers that bring a distinctively “new” message in regard to jacket lengths.In addition to its smart longer length we especially call your at­ tention to the swank boxy lines of the jacket to the left in the picture. This is a very new and important silhouette, one, as you will observe, in direct contrast to the figure-fit­ ting basquelike snugness so popu­lar of late. This striking suit by Creed in beige and brown wool di­ agonal is one of those to-be-coveted possessions that underwrite a guar­ antee of high-sfyle prestige at the same time that it registers 100 per cent perfect from the utilitarian standpoint. The blouse worn with it is of green and beige paisley- patterned surah. Jot down in your notebook the importance of surah silk this season for both frocks and the blouse. Convincingly representative of the latest trend toward increasing length for jackets is the suit shown to the right in the foreground. In this stunning .^striped wool, jacket " with monotone skirt a lady of fash­ ion is sitre to appear at her best wherever her program of activities may take her during the daytime hours. Notice the smooth-fitting shoulders and the manner in which this patrician tailleur hugs the hips in perfect precision. It’s the way of the newer jackets to do just this and the lines are flattering to both the very youthful slim figure and the more dignified lady with “curves.” It is just such a pace- setting fashion as will appeal to ev­ ery woman who knows her fashions.Gray wool with green and red stripes makes the attractive suit centered in the picture. The jack­et offers a compromise between the longer and the shorter versions. The advent of suits made of colorful novelty woolens is one of the high spots on the current fashion pro­ gram. Not only is a suit imperative this spring if you would be costumed in the height of fashion but with it must go all the “fixings” that add exciting detail and be assured that the accessories that go to complete the new spring ensembles are all­ exciting to a sensational degree. It is indeed a colorful story replete with thrills that fashion is telling in regard to the new suits and the accessories that go with them. It is not only that the suits them­selves involve color combinations and contrasts that simply are breathtaking in their daring and originality but this drama of color reflects throughout every detail of the costume even to the sprightly colorful veils the-witchery of.which cannot be told in words, likewise new footwear which has yielded to wild flights of color as have in fact the countless other details that con­ tribute to the glory of the spring 1939 costume. Perhaps most signifi­ cant of all is the challenge a “suit seas non” -never fails to fling to the blouse. - . Q W eateni New spaper Union. Fashion Dictates Suits for Spring Just a moment,. milady.'- of.- fash­ ion, a question for you to answer, please—Tiow about a chic blouse or two or more to add to your collec­ tion? For of course now that fash­ ion has thoroughly convinced us that the suit’s the thing for spring, it’s going to necessitate the accumulat­ing of a whole wardrobe of blouses, for that is exactly the up-keep that a suit season never fails to demand. Such a bewildering array of blouses as designers.are turning out this spring is sure to lead to tempta­ tion. Perhaps the most irresistible of all will prove to be the perfectly: adorable "baby blouse” lace- trimmed and frilled and hand- tucked and otherwise finely hand­worked lingerie types.. It’s the last word in blouse fashion is this pretty confection of frothy sheer whiteness and it is a treat to see these utterly feminine blouses displayed in the stores for they are so very lovely and it’s been such a long time since they held the center of the stage but fashion’s spotlight is definitely upon them for spring and summer. Tiered Themes in New Silhouettes Tiered ithemes give evidence that- the dress designers are searching for some new means to vary the silhouette. The tiers, usually three in number, distinguish the skirts of- some advance spring dressmaker suits as well as sheer woolen frocks. The broken tiered treatment with a straight panel at the front and back of a skirt and the flounces at either side offers-a suggestion for those who cling to slenderness- of tine. The blouse, which has a flounced back, carries out a similar fashion idea. In High Style Pleatings and tuckings done in novel . and ...original. waysabound, throughout the spring fashion pic-’ tore. The smartly attired young lady here portrayed confines the accordion pleated front of her charming new gown under 'a stun­ ning wide belt, and if there is one accessory more than another that fashion is playing up in versatile moods for spring, that accessory is belts. For the belt that adds in­ finite swank to the costume here shown, Criterion uses a soft white kid with an applique of gayly col­ ored circles. -------------IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Su n d a y !CHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L.

PETER DELIVERED FROM PRISON LESSON TEXT—Acts 12:5-17.GOLDEN TEXT—P rayer w as m ade with* eut ceasing of the church unto God for him.—Acts 12:5. ‘Prayer Changes Things,” says a popular motto. “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of,” is another much-used quotation. Still another is, “Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees.” We say the words, but how often we fail to practice the truth. Prayer seems to be such an interesting topic for dis­ cussion, and yet so seldom do we really pray. The teaching of God’s Word and the testimony of thou­ sands of His children down through the centuries, yes, even our own ex­ perience, demonstrates that the greatest power for good that we can wield is prayer. God give us grace to use it in our daily walk and life and for His glory! I. Prayer for a Prisoner (v. 5). The members of the early Church knew what to do with their prob­lems and troubles. They prayed The .same solution is available to- clay. "Whatever else we may do by way ofjplanning and working, il must follow prayer if we are to suc­ ceed. We really cannot do anything else until we have prayed. Troubles may be a blessing if they drive us to our knees. Peter was in jail for the gospel’s sake. Prayer had been made for his de­ liverance, and yet the last night had come and he was still not free. However, his friends prayed on. God had given them faith to believe and the conviction that they should con­ tinue in prayer for him. Under such circumstances we must never cease to pray, even though the very “zero hour” has come. “Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity.” II. Deliverance by God (w. 6-10). God does answer prayer. Some presumably brilliant folk would have us believe that prayer is !merely a subjective experience, a sort of spir­ itual exercise, which does the indi­ vidual who -prays certain good, but never reaches God or changes things. How would they explain what happened to Peter, and the hundreds of thousands of other def­ inite prayer answers throughout the centuries? The answer in Peter’s case was so remarkable that even he thought he was only dreaming. Apparently God gave His persecuted servant sweet sleep that night, while He kept Peter’s friends alert in prayer. But when Peter found himself out­ side the prison he knew something had happened. There are many interesting things to note in this incident. Observe that what Peter could do for him­self God did’not do, but'what Peter could not.do, God’s angel did. Notei also that when God works, the spir­ itually unenlightened know nothing of it. The guards did not know what had happened until mofriirig. Consider also that the angel took Peter as far as the open street, then left him to himself. God may meet a special need by miraculous inter­ vention, but that does not mean that from then oh we are to live, by constant miracles. There are many practical and precious spiritual lessons which we may learn from these verses. .. In. Results of ,Answered Prayr- er (vv.' 11-17). . God does not answer prayer, or perform any of His mighty works simply to make people marvel or to add to someone's comfort It is true that He does thus manifest His loving consideration for us, and that men do marvel at -His greatness, : but there, are other purposes in the., workings of His grace and power. In this case the first result was the freedom of His witness. He had been in prison and that was for God’s glory; now be.was.to be free,, and' that too was to be for His glory. Them His deliverance was a great testimony, not only to those who were praying in the upper room, but to God’s people down through the ages. Answered prayer is one of the great testimonies to the Chris­ tian faith. Fellowship resulted from Peter’s liberation. He went at once to meet with his fellow believers. Although he did not tarry long with them, he did share with them his remarkable experience, and admonished them to tell the others. If God has done something for you, share'the good news with.your .brethren. . . Service also resulted from this answer to prayer. Peter was hot de-' livered that he should go about the city boasting that he was too strong for Herod’s jail. Nor was it merely that he might go from place to place to lecture on his unusual ex­ perience. He was set free to go about his normal life of witnessing for Christ. We are “saved to serve.” The normal expression of a IifS in Christ should be service for Him. God delivers us from trouble, sor­ row, evA death, that we may serve HimT WHATtoEATandWHy AdvicetoHomemakerson HowtoFeed FamiIiesDuring Coldest Days of Winter; Essential Nutritive Values Described in Terms of Everyday Foods By C. HOUSTON GOUBISS T OWARD the end of winter we sometimes experience some of the coldest weather of the entire season. Tem­ peratures remain below freezing for days at a time. The air is often raw and penetrating, and blustery winds make it seem as if man is being persecuted by nature. Moreover, this trying weather comes after months of short and often sunless days . . . days which many people have spent in overheated houses,® and without sufficient exer-' cise. So it is no wonder that the body is on trial. . . fight­ ing to maintain health . . . to avoid the colds and other re­ spiratory diseases that are so prevalent. This is, perhaps, one season when food has a mightier power than at any other time to influence physical well-being. Food Your First Defense In general, women seem to be more aware of the power of food than men. This is fortunate, because they are charged with the solemn re­ sponsibility of de­ termining what foods their families shall eat. Since the right food some­ times makes the difference between sickness and health their husbands and children are the unhappy losers if they fail to rec­ ognize the need for even one es­ sential food substance. Occasionally the homemaker’s task is-made more■ difficult by men-folks who pooh-pooh the idea that meals should be planned sci­ entifically, and who point out that generation after generation sur­ vived without a specific knowledge of nutrition. People who hold this view fail to take into consideration that many of our ancestors consumed a satisfactory diet without know­ ing it Safeguarding Health They should realize also that one ‘can suffer from dietary deficien­cies and live . . . though he may not live well! A man can exist upon much less than the amqunt of iron required for normal health . . . but he probably can­ not escape secondary anemia. He may be able to get along on a meager supply of vitamins . . . but the chances are that his vital­ ity will be greatly diminished. And he will face tite constant threat of disease that follows in the wake of lowered resistance. Nothing Is more foolish than to suppose that w hat a m an eats is entirely his own business! It is a m atter of grave concent toi his wife and children. For it has been -suggested th at fully one-half of the illnesses'-of the American peo­ ple m aybe traceable directly, or indirectly, to dietary deficiencies. Let no m an, therefore, tw it his wife for trying to feed him cor­ rectly! Time for Good Eating But don't imagine for a moment that correct eating and good eat­ ing cannot be synonymous. It is true that there is no time of year when correct eating is more im­ portant. But it is also .a fact that there to no-time ,of year when good eating to more distinctly in­ dicated! These are the days when break­ fasts must be especially hearty . . . to satisfy keen appetites, to provide generous amounts of fuel or energy values. That means ce­ reals always, and some form of breadstuff, pancakes or waffles. Cereals are primarily energy foods, but they may also carry substantial amounts of precious mineral salts and vitamin B. Whole grain varieties are also a good source of bulk or cellulose . . . so necessary for regular health habits . . . so often over­ looked in diets that are carelessly planned. Eggs belong on the breakfast menu, too, because they are a top- notch protective food. And there must be fresh or stewed fruit— for vitamins, minerals and rough­ age. Balancing the Big Meal Whether the main meal of the day to served at noon or at night, it should be well-balanced, to help safeguard health, and appetizing, to make it so enjoyable that it will be digested efficiently. It should be built first of all around a protein food: meat; fresh, canned, or quick-frozen fish; cheese, chicken, an egg dish, or a casserole of hearty baked beans. There should be. an energy food such as sweet or white po­ tatoes, rice, macaroni, or noodles, though frequently this can be com­ bined with tite protein food, as in cheese macaroni or beef stew. For variety and palate pleasure, oc­ casionally serve baked bananas. They rank as an energy food, and also contribute important miner­als and vitamins. Vegetables—Raw and Cooled There should be vegetables—one or two of them. Green leafy vege­ tables, either fresh or canned, should be served several times a week . . . for their iron and vita­ mins A, B, G, and sometimes C. These may be alternated with the yellow vegetables which are par­ ticularly notable for their vitamin A. Don’t overlook onions—they are inexpensive, and a fine source of bulk. Served raw, they provide a substantial amount of vitamin C, the vitamin for which we espe­ cially prize oranges, grapefruit arid tomatoes. Include a salad at dinner, lunch or supper; it to well for most nor­ mal, individuals to ie^some raw food daily. In cold weather, dress it generously with salad dressing for extra fuel value. Dessert may be pie, pudding or gelatin. The choice depends part­ ly upon the other foods Served at dinner, partly upon, the dessert to be served at toe third meal of the day. But here is a goad gen­eral rule to follow. Serve a fruit dessert a t one.m eal—aiid a pud­ ding containing m ilk a t the other. Of course, tite fruit need net be served plain unless you wish. Fruit pies are splendid for cold. By RUTH WYETH SPEARS Ibw . costs OTRAS STRM KTVRNtO ANO IirtE A B MRS. SPEARS: The leaflet on making Rag Rugs . that just came with your two books to most interesting to me, and I thought you might like to know about a rag rug that literally grew up with our family. When we first went to housekeeping I started'what I hoped would be a large braided rug for the dining a room. -Whehiit was big. enough to go under the small table we were using then, I put it down. Epch winter I have added more rows to the edge. The family has grown and we all fit on toe rug quite nicely now. “I save the best parts of old sheets and dye them different col­ ors; then tear them into one-inch strips. I have a power machine, so I run these through it turning in toe raw edges. The stitching strengthens toe strips and makes them firm and neat for braiding.” If this letter inspires you, I have made a sketch here showing how to start your room size rug. If you are not quite that’ambitious, you will find many -ideas for smaller rugs in the leaflet offered below. NOTE: Now is toe time for all of us to give our houses a fresh start. Crtop new curtains; a bright slipcover; new lampshades; or an ottoman trill do the trick. Make these things yourself. Mrs. Spears’ Book I—SEWING, for-toe Home Decorator, shows you how with step-by-step, - easy to. follow sketches. Book 2—Gifts, Novel­ ties and Embroidery, shows you how to make fascinating things from odds and ends and will save its cost many times. Books are 25 cents each; if you order both books, copy of toe new Rag Rug Leaflet will be included free. Ad­ dress Mrs; Spears, 210 S. Des- plaines St., ,Chicago, HI.

Rounding Out Day's Nutrition Whether the third meal of toe day is lunch or supper in your household, it should round out toe day’s nutrition. If you need to get more milk into toe diet, let your lunch or supper include a cream soup. If you haven’t served eggs previously during toe day, choose a souffle or a dish contain­ ing creamed eggs. A starchy food, a salad, a dessert and a bev­erage will complete a meal that both satisfies toe appetite and meets nutritional requirements. It is not difficult to obtain the day’s quota of minerals, vitamins, cellulose, protein, carbohydrates and fats. These substances are to be found in delicious, whole­ some foods. AU you need to re­ member is not to serve too much of one food and too Uttle of an­ other. Let toe balanced diet be your ideal—and cold weather will prove a tonic instead of a possible men­ ace to health! Questions Answered Mrs. G. M. L.—At toe present time, nutritionists have not yet de­ termined the exact amounts of vi­ tamins G and E that should be suppUed daily. It is known, how­ ever, that a diet which furnishes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and milk will protect toe body against a shortage of either vitamin G or E. Miss K . p . D .—Fatty foods have several important functions in toe diet. They are a concentrated source of fuel; some of them are a good source of vitamin A; they improve flavor and texture in cookery; and they help to prevent hunger because they slow down toe emptying time of the stomach. However, they are highly concen­ trated, and should be combined with other foods.©—WNU—C- Houston Gondiss—1939—52.

MARCH 8, 1933 THE DAVIE RECORD. Seen Along Main Street C. FRANK STROUD • • Editor. TELEPHONE I Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks- j ville, N .-C., as Second-class Maili m atter, March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * I 00 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ 50 Seems that the weather man has been as wet during the mor.th as Mr. Roosevelt has been since be coming president. Governor Hoey may be a great prohibitionist, but up to this time he hasn’t been able to prove it to the North Carolina legislature. The democi atic legislature in ses sion at Raleigh seems to think it is all right for democrats to steal from the Republicans in the November election=, but all wrong for the de­ mocrats to steal from the democrats in the June primary. A good lady living in Florida, writes us that The Record is get­ ting better with every issue, and thanks us for the stand this paper has taken on the prohibition ques­ tion. A good Methodist preacher living in Davie also stopped to con­ gratulate us on the stand we have taken in regard to adverting wine and beer in our paper. Governor Hoey seems to think that North Carolina is rolling in wealth. The budget for the next two years calls for the spending of about one hundred and Gfty million dollars to keep the old state’s machinery oiled. Just whete this enormous sum is coming from, not even Mr. Hoev knows. The peo­ ple are already overburdened with taxes, and one of these days there is liable to be an explosion. Too many worthless offices have been created, which calls for high sal­ aries,and many of them seem to be unnecessary. The woods is full of hungry politicians who must be taken care of, or they will leave the dear old party. What a pity. Groundhog Not Dead. No, gentlemen, the groundhog is not dead—only sleeping between rains and snows. The first big snow of the winter began falling here about five o’clock Thursday morning and covered the ground to a depth of about one inch. Tbe snow fell most of the day, but the ground was very wet, andlhe white flakes melted as fast as they hit .he ground. Had the temperature been a few degrees lower we would have had at least an eight or ten inch snow. The six weeks of ground­ hog weather is due to expire next Monday, March 14m.

A two-story 7-room house in Booetown, owned by Lee Hamlin, colored, of Reyool da. was destroyed by fire about noon Sun­ day. No one was at home when the fire started, but it is thought to have caught on the second floor frorr, defective wiring. Most of the household gaods on the first floor were saved. RalDh Carter and wife occupied the second floor, and they lost all their household furniture and clothing, and had no insurance. The building was insured. The fire boys answered tbe alarm promptly, and in tbe face of a high wind, prevented other nearby buildings from being destroyed. Much Rain In February Our weather man L- S. Kurfees, who keeps tab on weather condi­ tions in this citv, tells us that there were 13 cloudy days in February, and two partly cloudy days. In the 28 doys 9 1 5 inches of rain fell, which was more than double tbe a- mount due in Februaiy. That was enough water to have made a good crop, had it been dis­ tributed as needed.

After we were seat­ ed and had taken a look over the au­ ditorium we came to the conclusion that most of the members of thi church had been following’ our ex­ ample By actual count there were just 25 people present, including the pastor and his good wife and a visit ing preacher. The pastor bad prepared an ex­ cellent sermon—had no doubt spent many hours searching the scriptures and preparing a message for mem­ bers of his congregation. There are 318 members of the Mocksville Bap­ tist church—men, women and child­ ren Of this number only 24 were present, leaving 294 unaccounted for. Tbe night was warm, and a big full moon was bathing the earth with a brilliance seldom seen this season of the year. It was a beautiful even ing. Many people were out riding in autos, others were listening to ra­ dios. some were eating and drinking in cafes and filling stations, while at least some were ill and tossing on a bed of pain, and a few were in the various churches. We don’t know how a pastor feels when he has to preach to empty pews We imagine that it takes a lot of grace and fortitude. We know just about how we would feel should we spend one-fourth as mAh time writing a news story as the preacher does in preparing his sermon, and find out later that only 24 people had taken the time and trouble to read it. We are not egotistical, but wr venture to say that if all the peo­ ple who read this article were to come to church next Sunday night, all tbe churches in town would be filled to capacitv, with many unable to get in bearing distance. The preachers in our town and all other towns, rejo'te when their mem­ bers attend the house of woishlp. Suppose we turn over a new leaf and try to go to church of iener in the • future than we have in the past. It will be a blessing to us and to our churches and pastors.

AppUton Cinhuy Co., Ine.WHPffinlw CHAPTER Tm —Continued —21— Ainsworth moistened his lips. “You say that what you call ‘the evidence’ is on file,” he said. “Where is it on file?” “It’s in the office safe of our for­ mer classmate, George Stuyve- sant,” replied Bale. "You mean you've told him?" Ainsworth stammered. “Of course I’ve told him. I had a long talk with him in New York this morning. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t have told him?” “All this fuss over a little non­ sense,” Ainsworth muttered. “There’s a great difference In taste about jokes,” Hale pointed out. “George thinks I ought to have you put in bonds to keep the peace, and all that sort of thing. But I’m hop­ing that won’t be necessary. Fm hoping you and I can come to such an amicable understanding about the little Kneeland matter that we won’t even have to consider our personal complications. How about it?” “So that’s your scheme?” Ains­ worth set his teeth. “I’ll see you in hell before I’ll dicker with you about my claim.” Hale rose.“All right,” he said regretfully. “Then I’ll have to press my person­ al charge of attempted murder.” “All of which means,” Ainsworth muttered, “that you’re going to try to use this cock-and-bull story to do me out of a just claim.” "No, it doesn’t mean that,” Hale said tolerantly. “It.'might, but it doesn’t. Being in a strong position, I’m going to be merciful. How much will you take to sign a quit-daim on Kneeland and clear out?” “That’s easy. Half his annual profits.” “I’ll bet you would—but you won’t. Now I’ll tell you what you will do. I’ll make an offer. If you don’t accept it in five minutes I’ll decrease it 25 per cent. I’m not bluffing, Ainsworth. I mean exactly what I say. I’m fed up with you. I don’t care much how this case ends. Here’s what Kneeland will do. He’ll give you a hundred thou­ sand dollars worth of stock and guarantee you an income of six thousand a year from it for the rest of your life. He’ll pay the first quar­ ter’s interest in advance. He'll turn over the stock to you and you’ll both sign a cast-iron agreement in John Phelps' office tomorrow morn­ing. You'will also agree, of course, never to sell the stock. How about it? You’ve got exactly five minutes to decide.” “All right,” Ainsworth said sud­ denly. “I was getting bored here anyway. Six thousand a year isn't to be sneezed at.” “You bet it isn’t. Then we can regard that as a bargain?” “You can.” Ainsworth and Rex'met Kneeland in his office the following morning. The interview proceeded in an at­ mosphere of suppressed suspicion. Each of the principals revealed a gloomy conviction' that he had the worse of the bargain. However, both signed the impressive legal documents and the affair was con­ cluded. Hale alone was satisfied. He had got over his second hurdle. If there was still another in the off­ ing he was not yet sure what it was. He had had enough worldly experience to know that in this im­ perfect-life one’s best 'efforts are usually taken as a matter of course by those who benefit by them. He had not looked for appreciation from either Ainsworth or Kneeland. He was not pained by its absence. If Joan had missed Hale during his brief absence she gave no sign of it on his return that night. She was very subdued, but brightened a trifle when he mentioned his wish to ask Sbiyvesant to the Camp. Hale felt a'pang of jealousy which he briskly suppressed. Again he as­sured himself that he "was not in love witii Joan KieelEUid and that he never would be; but he knew bet­ter. She increasingly filled the fore­ ground of his thoughts and of his life. He was experiencing a slight re­ action from the strain of the past days—a tendency to lie on the beach and bask in the sun. He indulged it. He felt that he was entitled to a short vacation. His sense of well­ being lasted till Friday night of the following week. Then, with Stuyve- sant’s arrival for the week-end visit, it merged into an acute and pain­ ful jealousy. Stuyvesant was a wel­ come addition to the house-party. - Mrs; Spencer Forbes openly neglect-, ed Hale for him; Miss Hosanna, too, showed symptoms of waning alle­ giance. These things did not dis­turb him. It was Joan’s liking for Stuyvesant that hurt. Joan, how­ ever, was not wholly at her best. She and-Bertspent-Satiirday in the motor-boat with Stuyvesant and Hale,. and picknicked through the noon hours at a romantic spot up the coast. The four young things had their IunAheon there under the trees. It was a good luncheon and Banks had paded it with tender solici­tude. Jo ate none of it. She had supplied herself with a small ther­ mos bottle full of milk. Of this, at intervals, she poured out and lan­ guidly drank a small quantity. There was no snap about her. Look­ ing at her, Hale worried. Doctor Crosby had extended his stay in New York. His secretary had tele­ phoned that the doctor was held there all week, by a very sick pa­ tient at one of the hospitals. He could not return till Monday of the second week, and therefore could make no appointments till Tuesday. Joan had accepted the message with more than resignation. “I real­ ly don’t heed him at all,” she de­clared resentfully. But Hale made the appointments for her and Bert. Bert was im­proving daily. His appetite was good, and he assured Hale that he slept nine hours every night. He had always been a serious youth. Today, though he seemed to enjoy him. “I’m no philanthropist. Things are going pretty well with me, con­ sidering the times. For the last eighteen months I’ve been looking around for the right man to help me. I’m not saying I’ve been rush­ ing about with a lantern, or any­ thing of that sort. I can worry along. On the other hand I can cer­ tainly keep a good man busy from now on. Like you, I’m thinking of the future. When your voice came over the telephone that first day, I got a real kick out of it. I said to myself, ‘Here’s the combination I need!’ I was sure of it by the time we’d finished luncheon, but I didn’t want to rush you. However, I did suggest that you should ask me out here, and I reminded you of the suggestion again last week. It wasn’t because of Miss Kneeland, either,” he added complacently. “She’s a peach, but I’ve got a per­ fectly good girl of my own. We’re I waited. That’s partly why I didn’t go in with our classmate Flaherty. He suggested it two years ago and I admit I was tempted. He’s got Tammany eating out of his hand. He’s simply coining money. But fancy having Flaherty as a part­ ner! Wouldn’t there be fireworks?" His voice changed. “Then it’s set­ tled?” he asked eagerly.“It’s settled.” They shook hands on it, and were startled by Joan Kneeland’s low laugh. She and Bert had grown tired of waiting on the shore and had come back for them. “A touching scene,” Joan said. “You fly from us, we pursue. We find you apparently going through an eternal farewell. Has Mr. Stuy- vesant had all he can endure of our simple life? Is he taking the five-thirty train?” “Far from it,” Stuyvesant told her. “I’m planning now to stay all Joan had supplied herseU with a thermos bottle of milk. the chatter of his companions, he took little part in it. Joan was more responsive, but she contribut­ ed only a small share to the persi­ flage of the other two. Hale saw that Stuyvesant was watching her with .an odd expres­sion in his keen eyes. “I’ve never seen such a change in anyone in such a short time as there is in Miss Kneeland,” he confided, when they were alone for a few moments. “She. was a wise-cracking, butterfly' last winter, if you know: what I mean. She was amusing and full of pep and interested in everything. What’s happened to her?” Rex answered the question with another.“Do you think she looks sick?” “Yes, I do,” Stuyvesant said flat­ ly.“You see, Fve only known her a few weeks myself,” Rex explained. “For all I know she has always been like this. She’s variable, but so are most girls. Some days she’s quite cheerful and amusing. Then again she’ll be as she is today—uninterest-,, ed, almost dull. I haven’t known quite what to make of her. The Ainsworth business was going on, as I’ve told you, and I’ve been taken up with that and one or two other things. She says she’s only run down and tired. My own theory is that Halcyon Camp has been a damned depressing place for her. I think she’s fed up with it and with most of the people around her. I am myself,” he added unexpectedly. . Stuyvesant looked at him in sur­prise. “What’s the matter with you?” Rex realized that he had said too much. “Just a bit fed up,” he explained lightly. “You ste Ainsworth's little attentions were something of a strain. Besides, my future’s on my mind. I'm at loose ends. Fve got to look about and find some sort of an opening. The outlook isn’t par­ ticularly rosy.” They were packing the luncheon dishes back into the basket, while Bert and Joan carried the scraps and paper cups and plates to refuse barrels some distance away. Then the cousins had strolled on down to .the, beach, evidently expecting th£ others to join them: -' Stu^vesant; slipped an arm through Hale’s and drew him to a bench among the trees. “That’s one of the things I came here to talk to you about,” he ex­ plained as they sat down on it. “This seems as good a time as any. How would you like to go in with me?” Rex smiled appreciatively. ‘'It sounds great,” he admitted. “But I don’t want you cooking up any imaginary job for me, for old time’s sake.” “That’s rot,” Stuyvesant assured going to be married in November. That’s one reason why I need you. I’ve promised to take her to Egypt for the honeymoon. We’ll be gone three months. Incidentally, I want you to be my best man at the wed­ ding.” After this it was some time be­ fore they got back to business. Stuy- vesant was a phonograph' record. He had to be allowed to run down. Rex listened to him with interest and a warming sense of relief. •’ “You •- needn’t * think Tm-iOffering you anything very big,” Stuyvesant went on when they returned to prac­ tical matters. “My idea is to take you on for a year or so at a decent salary—say, what you had in Spain. After that, if we hit it off, and you like the prospects, you can buy as much of an interest in the firm as you care to take, up to half of it. How about it? Are you going to tell me that you’ve got to think it over?” “You can bet I’m not. I'm all for the experiment, if you’re sure you want me.” Stuyvesant’s round face grew very<serious. “I don’t mind admitting that Fve been sure of that since we were at Ithaca together,” he said slowly. “I picked you out for a future part­ ner during our first year there. Nerve on my part, for you hardly knew I was alive then. Before I was in a position to even speak of the plan you had gone to Spain, so summer with you. You see, Fve realized a boyhood dream in this hour,” he added exuberantly. “I’ve persuaded Hale to join forces with me. Stuyvesant and Hale! How does it sound?” “What he means,” Hale laughed, “is that he’s giving me a job.” “A job with prospects,” Stuyve- sant amended. “The prospects are that he’ll do all the work and I’U pocket most of the money. But he can have a partnership next year, if he wants it.” “It sounds like a mighty good ar­rangement for you both,” Bert said with unusual warmth. “Congratula­ tions.” His eyes lingered on Hale af­fectionately. Thus far, at least, Her­ bert Kneeland had no reservations in his appreciation of Hale's serv­ices. He was, as always, reserved and rather shy. But he lost no op­ portunity to show friendliness and liking for the “home secretary.” “I’m glad,” Joan was saying. “This means that Mr. Hale wUl be in New Yoilc instead of in Qiicago or California.' We can all keep right on being a nuisance to him; Un­ de tCass can-throw his burdens on' his shoulders. So can Bert. So can I. That may not leave him much time for your affairs, Mr. Stuyvesant, but it will be marvel­ ous for us.”They walked down to the pier, re­ entered the motor-boat, and contin­ ued theft journey along the shore. (TO BE CONTINUED) Warned Custert Aged Indian Relates, In .Description of Terrible Massacre If Gen. George A. Custer had lis­ tened to Charles Copeland, he might be alive today “though^ of course a very old man,” according to Cope­ land, a Cherokee Indian with the tribal name of White Horse who says he is ninety-three years old, writes a Colorado Springs United Press correspondent in the Detroit Free Press. Copeland talks in a strange mix­ ture of old-time phraseology and modern slang. He describes the Custer massacre of June 26, 1876: “Yea, brother, this is how it was. il^'waSthere'SrithTa-’bunch ofifriendly' Indians on our way to an Idaho res­ ervation. “We passed through' that country (the battlefield) and talked to Cus­ ter and Sttiiig Bull. Sitting Bull was a big-shot medicine man and a great general. “ ‘You know this is not peace,’ I said to Sitting Bull an£ he said to me, *1 know it is not peace, they are after my. hide.' .“To Custer I said, ‘they will get your hide brother, if you go in there.- Say brother, I know you are a grad­ uate of West Point, but don’t go in there!’ “He would not listen. There were 20,000 Indians there and not a man of Custer’s force was left.” General Custer with a force of 600 men assumed he was attacking a party of 1,200 Pawnees whom he be­lieved marching to join Sitting Bull. He and all his men were killed. One of Oldest Universities At Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico, visitors are attracted to San Nicolas, oldest university in the Americas. Within the university is a small library that has no books 'less' than 100 years old, and > within the library is a tomb containing a two-foot coffin, wherein is the pick- led heart of Melchor Ocampo, Mex­ican patriot of the 1850s, who was slain by anti - government forces. There, also, is the hair of Ocampo, his neatly washed shirt and the trousers that were riddled by the firing squad. The visitor is shown his last will: “I being told that I am about to die, wish to name the fol­lowing as my lawful daughters. I hereby adopt a fifth daughter who will share in my estate.” n TIP S 10 Crardeners Helping Seeds Along THE first step toward insuring germination of seeds is proper planting. ' In exceptionally dry weathei however, even properly planted seeds may not germinate. It is IdvisabIe in such a case to pre­ pare the dry soil for the seed. Wai e r freely, as though you had a irop growing. Allow the water to soak in and when the soil has good moisture content, begin your planting. You must be careful, of course, not to plant in wet, muddy soil. Excessive rainfall, on the other hand, may make the soil so moist as to cause rotting. If seeds have not germinated within a reason­ able length of time after planting, a few of them should be dug up and examined. If rotting is indi­ cated, another planting must be made. While few vegetable seeds re­ quire special treatment to assist germination, numerous flower seeds can successfully be treated, according to Harry A. Joy, flower expert. He advises as follows: Nick the seed coat of lupin, moonflower and morning glory; remove the tough outer coating of nasturtium, mo- mordica, castor bean and sand verbena; soak canna lily, job’s tear and sweet pea seeds in water for 12 hours before planting. Man's Effort Art is the effort of man to ex­ press the ideas which nature sug* gests to him of a power above nature, whether that power be within the recesses of his own be­ ing, or in the Great First Cause of which nature, like himself, is but the effect.—Bulwer-Lytton.

Ralieirh.—David Ovens, Charolotte merchant, told ah open meeting of the North Carolina Faia Tax asaoci - tion that "instead of bragging about a balanced budget we should hang our heads in shame for the method by which we are doing it.” Bitterly assailing the sales tax, O .ens sa:d the merchant “is in bet­ ter position to knhw just how un­ popular the sales tax is, and the harm it is doing to oar state. We know it is driving business from our storfs to those of the state without a Si I j s tsx, and we know that it works a hardship on people with the last with which to by the necessities of life.” Merchants, Ovsns said: "arotired of being branded as unpatriotic simply because we oppose a system of taxaton which we think is very unfair—unfair to both the merchant and to that portion of the consuming public least able to pay taxes.” He said merchants always have "carried a large porton of the tax-'o^d. and have always supported every public and private enterprise looking to­ ward the advancement of our towns and state.” A balanced budeet is demanded bv merchants, he added, but‘‘too much atteution is given to ihe study of how to raise more money to balance the budget and not enough attention to the much more important job of how to reduce the necessity for such high tax levels.” "The defenders of the sales tax,’ Ovens said, "say among themselves that there’s no need to be afraid of the merchants because they don’t have any money to fight us with. One of these days they may wake up to find that the merchants of the state have succeeded in harnessing their wide powers and will make their strength felt in the place where it will do the most good, namely the ballot box.^____________ Cathedral Organ Long in Dse St. Stephen’s cathedral at Sens, France, has an organ which has been used continuously for about 500 years. During its lifetime, it has been renovated three times. This famous cathedral is the oldest ’ Gothic building in France, being J designed by GuiUaume de - Sens, | who reproduced within it certain' features of Canterbury cathedral. Shops on a Bridge Historic Ponte Vecchio at Flor­ ence, Italy, is said to be the only bridge in the world with shops flank­ ing both sides of its passageway. It is supposed that this was the spot where Dante and Beatrice met for the first time. The bridge has been in existence since Roman times. Dragons as Church Decoration Not crosses but dragons predom­ inate in the decoration of the famous Fantoft Stav church near Bergen, Norway. Built over 800 years ago, shortly after Norway had become a Christian land, this church and many others of that pe­ riod were decorated with elaborate wood carving in which dragons a dominating motif.

The Fertilizer Bill. According to figures from the State Department of Agricultur?, North Carolina farmers last year reduced their fertilizer bill by ap- provimately $2,841,000, or 10 pet cent compared with the previous season. That would be encouraging, in­ deed, were it not for the fact tba' this curtailment in use came from curtailment in crops rather tfca»- from the adoption of any of th' various methods that would makt snch wide-spread use of fertilizer Unnecessaijr. Cotton acreage was curtailed 22 per cent; tobacco acreage it per cent, and wheat 4 per cent, these being the principal crops for which commercial' fertilizer bill leaves a staggering total 0 f $24,306,436 which p!aut food, much of which could hare been, provided in a cheaper, more satisfactory and more permanent way. And it leaves North Carolina still the leader C f all states in the union in the volume of fertilizer used. No use to argue that the use of fertilizer does not pay big dividends. Every farmer who can dig up the price knows that it does. But the point is that intelligent soil manage­ ment would reduce the need by fifty per cent, and who will say that North Carolina farmers could not use twelve millon dollars to good account? And right here is where Iredell county farmers, and those in neigh­ boring counties will benefit by turn* ing to dairying in supplying the in­ exhaustible market that is now a- vailable to them. They will not only save a good part of their ferti lizer bill, right at the start, in growing the feed for their dairy but eventually will be able to ferti­ lize theit f elds from their barns in­ stead of from far-off- factory. Which demonstrates again that the immediate price they receive for their product is by no means all of it.—Statesville Daily. Can You Remember Whe0-? The grocer gave you a sack of candy or a cigor when you paid your bill? Milk was delivered to your door for five cents a quart? People placed their eredit ahead of everything else? Medicine shows mode week end stands in small towns? Aoples, parsnips, celery and car­ rots were buried for winter use? Every, small town supported a band? Grandtna knit gloves and wristlet for all her grandchtldreu? It you can, brother or sister, you are aging very rapidly. Here b Hopmg-We Will Miss It. No discussion of business pros, pects and actualities, even so brief a one as the foregoing, would be complete without mentioning the current European situation. The talk goes around, some of it from high quarters, that the Italian-French differences are an open powder keg. What seems to be a virtual Fascist victory in Spain is- also fraught what explosive dangers to our troubled peace. And this, obviously, has an extremely dampening effect on investment and, as a result, on industry and spend­ ing. One good sign: Most ot the ex­ perts feel that there is more smoke than fire abroad and that 1939 will not witne'ss a general war. The chief difference between a gum-chewing flapper and a cud chewing cow is the thoughtful ex- i pression on the face of the cow. • When Will The “Emer­ gency” End? President Roosevelt has warner Congress that an “emergency” stil exists but he offers nothing in the way of relief that will curb -thi> emergency. The truth of the matte? is, Roosevelt is not a business man, and was born with the proverbial "SilverSpoon11In his mouth. Hf did not have to poncer or worry vhere the next meal was coming from. His aged father knowing Franklin D.’s proclivity for reck­ less spending set up a trust for him ind the son has never known tb> Hardships of “making both ends me t.” Hence bis pr fligate spec ding of tue people’s money. He hasn't the least idea where the money comes from or how difficult it was for the business men and owners of the nation to get hold of the money to send to Washington for the government to spend in ex travagance. Roosevelt flew off the handle when Congress lopped off $150,000,- 000 of the $875,009,000 he asked for and in a day or so rsked Con- gress for the $150,000,000 declar­ ing that “an unemployment relief emergency still exists.” We are in hearty agreement with Carl Goerch’s State when he say* in the current issue: “ it (tbeemer gency) will last as long as the gov, ernment continues to act the part of Santa Claus; as long as handouts are given to people who are making no effort to help themselves; 1 as long as individuals fail to realize tbeir own responsibilities; as long as Business is afraid to expand and permit the employment ol additional men and women.’’—Es. Quaint Laws Are Offer­ ed. Quaint law collectors probably would find plenty to satisfy them in the hoppers of the country's legislatures. Some ot the proposals, culled in a survey were offered with serious intent. Others mighthave beenpre suited to furnish pleasant diver­ sions-from budget-balancing wor fits and heavier affairs of.state. One proposal in Tennessee would tax bachelors $1,000 annually and use the monies to pension old maids. Another wonld extend alimony rights to husbands in divorces when they are the “innocent parties." It wasn’t written as a tongue- twister for party use but a bill in the Colorado legislature was en­ titled: “A bill for an act to amend an act entitled ‘to amend an act entitled 'to amenp section one of an act entitled ‘an act to provide bound issue’.’’ An Ohio salon war refused per­ mission to introduce a bill provid­ ing a state loan of $1,500 to each newly married couple.

In addi ion to the salary named,, these lawmakers receive various al­ lowances: Senators are given $10,« 320 to pay for.four clerks; members of the House receive $5,000 a year for clerical and stenographic help.

Be Careful. Once upon a time, there lived in the big forest, a lion. A very idquisl tive leopord asked the lion why he roared so loudly. “I am doing busi­ ness openly and. with plonty of ad vertising,” said the lion. "I earned my name of king of beasts by blow­ ing my horn. Let other fellows known you are around and they will respect you and will not huat you.” A rabbit overheard the story told to the leopard by the lion and the rabbit decided he would take the ad< vice of the lion, himself. He filled his lnngs with a big breath and tried to roar like a lion Bat a wolf heard his roar, hopped on the rbbit and ate him up? There is no need to advertise if you don’t have the goods.

Senator Hiram Johnson, Repuh ’an, of California, one of the most iutspoken statemen who is opposing vith all his might what he sees the Iriftine of the United States into var. and an avowed isolationist, -harged Franklin D Roos^veltl the iast week with using dictatorial tae- ■ics to keep the Administrations for* sign policy secret and in risking A* neriean involvement in another war through clandestine international deals and agreements. Johnson, who favor's a thorough iiring of administration co-operation extended a Frech airplane buying mission, issued a formal statem nt on foreign policy after the House began debating Roosevelt’s $376. 000,000 army expansion bill under a six-hour limit, with passage Thurs­ day. He took direct issue with the Pres- dent and the majority action of the Senate military affairs committee which refused to make public the records of its inquiry into the French Diane transactions, and declared that the people are entitled to know ‘ every bit of the testimony save that reiatipng to possible miiita”? se­ res}.” Referring to Roosevelt’s denial ;bnt he had told the committee at a White Hous conference that the administration places the American defense frotier on the Rhine, John­ son said that “no epithets applied to senatoro.or to newspapers will relieve the situation of its secrecy.” After the eonferenco, whidh dealt indirect­ ly with the French deal, the Pre?. ident described as "deliberate lies” the Rhine reports and blamed irresponsible senators and newspaper owners for their circulation. ‘ There is res:ntment among the administration that anybody should ask the facts,” Johnson said. “But if there comes war it will not be fought by the President alone, but by the common people of this land, and they, will do the fighting and the dying. . “This was not a mere commercial transrction. The facts obviously orove it and the explanation given for the serrecv might better have been left unsaid.” Reviewing the French transaction, Johnson said that “secrecy begets ills that cannot be foreseen when first the affairs of a nation are conducted clandestinely.” He recal­ led the World War and said it "begin” with a speech by Sir Ijidward Gray, tnen British secretary for foreign affairs, Outlawing the Outlawed Who was it who, the other day introduced a bill in the General Assembly providing for the Uvy of a tax on “illegal punchboards?"

Reminds us of a time when Dr. Gulley asked a young law student on class to de­ fine the crime of False Pretense. “False Pretense,” answered the budding Blackstonian, is commit, ted by telling two' lies. You tell a person if he will lend you $5, yon will pay it back next week, that is lie no. 1. Now in order to make him believe lie no. one you tall him that you own a horse, that you have sold the horse to John Smith and that John Sinith is to pay.you next week and that-when be pnys, you, you will repay the $5 loan. You did not own a horse, and you have therefore not sold a hors: to John Smith, there John 3,-nith is not to pay you next week. So that is lie no. 2. You told lie no t, and then you tell lie no. 2 to make the man believe lie no. 1. That’s False Pre­ tense.” . “Exactly, i So," answered Dr. Gulley.

Tallest Man Alive. Alton, III.—Robert Wadlow, tall­ est man on record in medical his­ tory, today drew himself'tip to his full height of eight feit eight and one-balf inches and said: “Today I am a man!" And by way of celebrating his 21st birthday, Robert announced that, although lie is the biggest man that ever lived, he is still crowing, still putting on weight, is siill healthy and aims to stay that way. His statiftics chart reads thus: Height—one and one-half inches above last vear’s measurement; weight (oefore eating ) — 491 pounds shoes—size 37: hat—size eight and seven seveu-heights; collar—size 19, with specially tailored shirt. The bed he sleeps in is nine : feet six inches long. Robert said the only normal size piece of haberdashery or clothing he uses is a handkerchief, His ap­ petite, he said, remains the sam e- good. He explained, however, that be e-its but little more than the average person and is not on any special diet. Physicians who examined the “Alton giant” at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis said he may possibly teach the height of nine feet. They refused to predic: when he would stop growing. Robert's condition is caused .by hypertrophy of the pituitary gland, and endocrine body which controls growth and is sustained under the brains, physicians said. Robert, although attained his majority he has reached the time when be tan reseat being called,. the Big Wadlow boy,” said his outlook on life hasn’t changed much. A wVenus In Furs.” Last week an Obiojudgegranted a divorce to a woman whose chief complaint against her husband was that, “ he fished all the time” How­ ever, the judge signed the decree with reucta'nce. Deep down in' his heart, he felt that the mere fait that a husband is a fishing addict should not be legal grounds for di. vorce. ' He asked the lady whether or not her husband was a fishing addict before she was married to him. She answered in the affirma­ tive. Indeed, she confessed. “I met my husband at a fishing party where the ladies fixed the lunch and the men fished.” Don’t you know,” asked the judge, “ that once a man is addict­ ed to fishing, he never will give it up?” We can prove by more than a dozen fishermen In this town that woman was heartless, unmcrcifnl, inhuman, cruel, and utterly void of the milk of human kindness—Ex.

Mulrooney gets the umpir­ing job, at $25,000 a year. /He also is now entitled to his $6,000 yearly pension, as a former police commis­ sioner, withheld while he held pub­lic office. In 1933, he became chair­ man of the state alcoholic beverage control board, and later state com­ missioner of correction, from which office he will resign M accept the hotel post. He started pounding a beat In West street forty-eight years ago, when Theodore Roosevelt was police commissioner. He first hit the headlines by rescu­ ing women and children in a small boat when the Slocum burned. As a “waterfront flat- foot,” he was known as a “cop’s cop,” always having his mind on his work. He became police commissioner in 1930. He gave his men orders to shoot to kill, and set shotgun squads patrolling the city. He roughed up the racketeers a lot, and, when he was switched to the Albany liquor control job in 1933, the word was out that certain anti­ social, anti-cop elements had desired the transfer and helped bring it about. At 68, bis reddish hair is turn­ing brindle. His ferrety eyes reveal a penetrating alertness of mind. He looks a great deal like General Pershing. It would seem unlikely that anybody in the hotel business here will be giving the umpire any back- talk. "MpEWS reports from Havana are that, when Colonel Fulgencio Batista, Cuba’s strong man, visited Mexico, he was regarded by some — , „ . of his conserva-Cuban Business tive supporters Frowns on Left as having gone TurnofBatista ®ver th?“wrong side of the tracks.” There was particular displeasure over his fraternizing with President Cardenas of Mexico, and business representation at his welcome-home ceremonies was con­spicuously lacking. He told the crowd of cheering workers that “if capital does not wish to respect the desires and rights of the people, the resulting confusion will work against its own aspirations.” This is one of several recent signs that the one-time cane- rustier, barber, buck private and stenographer who now runs Cuba is veering left, after a wide swing to the right. Soon after his seizure of power, with the downfall of Machado in Angust, 1933, he reassured the “law and order” elements, and left-wingers have been pasting him as the “Hitler of Cuba.” He made peace with foreign and native industrialists, and, from all accounts, they are jolted con­ siderably by his getting clubby with Cardenas, the ‘Expropria­ tor.” He is circulating much more than he used to, and there is talk that he aspires to be the “Napoleon of the Caribbean.” His hole-card is the army, which he commands efficiently as. chief of staff. A big, reticent, swarthy man, 37 years old, he says little and keeps a sharp, wary eye on his soldiers.

Should it fail into Italy’s hands, the Mediterranean could be closed easily to French and British communi­ cations. Fully aware of these strategical considerations, France has been openly rushing Tunisian fortifications. On the Mareth line, near the Libyan border, France has stationed 35,000 soldiers—Zouaves and the Foreign Legion. Italian troops in Libya are reported at 60,000.

Pictured here is a photographer busy snapping pictures of a small riot in which 200 took part. The Redoubtable Mme. La Compt IN THE year 1734 a daughter was 1 born to the La Flammes, a French family living at St. Joseph on Lake Michigan. While she was still a little girl, her parents moved to Mackinac and there she grew up and married her first husband, Pilette de Sainte Ange. , In 1765 Sainte Ange took his wife to the site of the future city of Chi­ cago where they lived for several years. After a time she became fa­miliar with the language of the Pottawatomies and other tribes, studying their character and acquir­ ing a great influence over them. When Sainte Ange died, his widow moved to the French village of Ca- hokia on the Mississippi. She soon married again, this time to a Ca­ nadian' named La Compt. During the Revolution, the Cahokia villag­ ers, whom George Rogers Clark had won to the American cause, were in constant danger of attack by the Indian allies of the British, as were the American settlers in the early days of the Territory of Illinois. Many times Mme. La Compt was awakened in the dead of night by Indian friends who urged her to seek safety in St. Louis. But, in­ stead of fleeing, Mme. La Compt in­ variably set out alone to meet the bostiles and dissuade them from their purpose. Sometimes she stayed with them for days before she succeeded. More than once the fearful villagers of Cahokia, armed and ready for an attack, saw a strange procession coming out of the woods—a band of warriors with their war-paint freshly washed away and humbly obeying the or­ ders given them by the tall white woman marching ahead of them! After rearing a large family of children, Mme. La Compt was wid­ owed again. Again she was mar­ ried, this time . to an American named Tom Brady.' She’ outlived him for 30 years and died in Ca­ hokia in 1843 at the age of 109 years. • • • A Monument to Failure I ONG’S PEAK, the highest in Col- *-* orado, is not only a memorial to its first American discoverer, Maj. Stephen H. Long, of the En­ gineers Corps of the United States army, but it is also a monument to a great failure. In 1819 the United States govern­ ment was preparing to send a great army into the Upper Missouri coun­ try to establish a military post to protect and extend the fhr trade. Tbe expedition was also expected to add to the scientific knowledge of the West and Major Long was di­ rected to take with him a group of scientists for this purpose. With a small and inadequately supplied force, he crossed the plains to the base of the Rockies and spent some time exploring that region. When he returned he made a re­ port that was destined to become famous for its inaccuracies. “In re­ gard to this extensive section of 5ie country,” he wrote, “we do not hesitate in giving our opinion that it is almost wholly unfit for cultiva­ tion, and of course uninhabitable by a people depending upon agriculture for their subsistence.” More than any other man, per­ haps, he was responsible for fixing upon the maps of the United States of that time the words “The Great American Desert” and those words retarded development of that coun­ try for nearly half a century.• • • Sharpshooter and Spy V IRGINIA MOON of Memphis, Tenn., was 16 years old and go­ ing to school in Ohio when the Civil war broke out. She immediately asked for passage through the Union lines to Tennessee and was refused. So, when the Union flag was first raised on the school grounds, she shot every star out of it, one by one. The results were immediate and most- favorable--she was expelled from school and sent home to Mem­ phis, which was just exactly what she wanted. She was not only a good marks-, woman—she was pretty and self- confident. Her beauty and other charms enabled her to become en­ gaged to 16 young Confederate army recruits, all at the same time. This wasn’t very honest, she admitted years later, but it made the young soldiers feel good and didn’t make, her feel bad. As the war went on, Gen. Sterling Price appointed her special agent and she carried dispatches and other information back and forth from Union to Confederate territory. Several times she was arrested by Northern soldiers, being acquitted on one occasion but found guilty and served short sentences on others. She was the only Confederate woman spy. whose unusual career did not end with the - war or with spying. At the age of 75 she be­ came a movie actress in Hollywood. She appeared with Pola Negri and Mary Miles Minter ahd other prom­inent stars before her death in Greenwich Village at the age of 81. • Weitera Newraaper UaSeo.

Star Dust •kMickey Sets the Pace ★ So Joan Goes Dark Jr Directors Who Must In B y V irginia V ale ----- M ickey rooney ’s brief stay in New York was a lesson for older and more ex­ perienced screen stars, who wilt when they are faced by a long list of dates with inter­ viewers. Mickey saw folks from the newspapers and really talked to them. He signed autograph books for mobs of fans. He dashed about town, going to theaters, hearing swing bands (that was one of the things he specially wahted to do while in New York) and drop­ ping in at Madison Square Garden for a hockey game. Mickey is quite a musician, you know. He plays the trumpet, trom­ bone, piano and drums. He also composes songs—“Have a Heart” is his latest. BecentIy Mickey and Deanna Durbin were honored by the Moiiim Picture Academy of Arts and Science "for their significant cimtribution in bringing to the screen the spirit and personification of youth.” You’ll be seeing him in “Huckle­ berry Finn,” which he finished be- MICKEY BOONEX fore leaving Hollywood for his brief vacation, and “The Hardys Ride. High” is also ready for release. Those Hardy pictures will go on for- ever, apparently. Joan- Bennett likes the way she looks when she’s a brunette, al­ though she didn’t find it out until she saw herself in the black' wig she wore for “Trade Winds.” And people all over the country wrote to her saying that they preferred her with dark hair. So she’ll don a wig again for “The Man in the Iron Mask,” in which she’s slated for a leading role. It’s a rare director who can re­ sist the temptation to stay out of his own pictures. Sometimes they play a hit, but usually they’re just extras in mob scenes. That’s , what Cecil B. DeMiUe did in “The Cru­ sades” ; he put on a helmet and breastplate and whooped it up with the other extras. He was in one of the train sequences of “Union Pa­ cific,” too. Tay Garnett was rec­ ognized by his friends who looked quickly at a man who leaned against a waU in “Trade Winds.” Henry Koster played a scene in one of his pictures so that his moth­ er, in Prague, could see him.

GOLDEN TEXT—But as he which hath CaUed you is holy, so be ye holy In all m an­ n er of conversation.—I P eter 1:15. Christians are not only “the called of Jesus Christ,” but are also “called saints” (Rom. 1:6,7). Peter had the same thing in mind when he (in v. 9 of our lesson) says that we “are thereunto called.” Let us remember that when we are tempt­ ed to say that we "do not profess to be saints.” “Dr. James Denney once remarked how odd it would look to see in the New Testament the statement, ‘I don’t pretend to be a saint.’ It would be tantamount to saying, ‘I do not take the call of God very seriously and I do not profess to Uve up to it.’ When God calls, our answer is not a matter of indifference and . . . not a mat­ ter of presumption. ‘It is not a life for which we volunteer, or on which we adventure of our own mo­ tion, or which' we have to carry through our own resources; it is a life for which we have a divine summons, and that summons is our justification’ ” (Arnold’s Commen­ tary). AU beUevers are caUed to live a consistent, powerful, useful Christian life, and God makes such a life possible. I. Living for Christ (w. 8-12). To Uve for Christ one must be bom again into the position of a true beUever. Peter was not so foolish as to urge that his readers try to Uve a Christian Iife without first being born into the family of God. He therefore lays a founda­ tion for his exhortations by discuss­ ing in the early chapters of his epistle the atonement of Christ and the position of the beUever. Then he gives specific instructions to cer­ tain groups, leading up to the gen­ eral plea for Christian Ufe and testi­ mony.1. Among brethren (v. 8). Know­ing what Christ has done for us, it might weU be assumed that aU of us who are His foUowers would love one another and do nothing but that which would promote Christian fel­ lowship. But human nature pre­ vails even in the Church, and some­ times displays its worst side there. Hence we need to consider this in­ struction of Peter that we cultivate unity, sympathy, and love among the brethren. Observe that this is not just a pious platitude which we may take or leave. It states our obUgation to one another as Chris­ tians. Whatever others may do or say, let us be clear that we have obeyed this word of God. 2. With unbelievers (w . 9-11). God has caUed us to Uve peaceably with aU men. We wiU not cure evil by returning for it more evil. If our ungodly neighbors or feUow workers mistreat us by word or deed, we are not to retaUate in kind. We are to control our tongues —how much we need to Ieam that lesson. We are not to be tricky and deceitful, not to look for a fight, but to seek peace. 3. For our own good (v. 12). What blessed assurance we find here for the beUever. The eyes of the Lord are upon both the good and the evU in the world. He knows. Con­ sider also the promise of “bless­ ing” in verse 9, of seeing “good days” in verse 10, the assurance of peace in -verse 11. It is not only honoring to God, but good for us to Uvev as Christians. H. Suffering for Christ (w. 13-18). Peter was writing to those who were bearing bitter persecution be­ cause they followed? Christ. Per­ haps some were tempted to say then as they do now, “If there reaUy is a God, if Christianity amounts to anything at all, certainly beUevers would not be permitted to suffer at the hands of enemies of Christ.” Let us be clear that being a Chris­tian in no way exempts us from the common experiences of human­ ity, nor. does it assure us that we wiH not have to bear persecution and suffering. But (and here is a point of greatest importance), we are able to meet such difficulties in the name of Christ without fear or discouragement, for God is with us. I. Not afraid (w . 13, 14). The martyr spirit has not died out in the earth, and there are those in our day who stand unafraid before dic­ tators and rulers who would destroy them because of their loyalty to Christ. “Be not afraid.” 2. Not. discouraged (w. 15-17). The one who knows God’s Word (and every Christian ought to know it) can give answer (v. 15) concern­ing his. faith. N o tethatifw eare punished for our own wrongdoing we may weU be depressed, but if we meet persecution with a clear conscience (v. 16) we need feel no discouragement. 3. Not alone (v. 18). The path may be dark and difficult, but one thing we know, our. Leader, Christ, walked an- even darker and more desolate road. He it .is who is now with us, yes, in us. Remember that “Christ also hath once suffered” (v. 18) and go on your way in vic­ tory. o m sew 4 ^ RuthWyefh Spears « FkEAR MRS. SPEARS: I have ^ both of your books, and have made many things from them that have surprised my fam­ ily. Most women can’t drive a nail straight* but I can do that better than I can sew.

M.” Those who are not so clever about driving nails, may want to call on Dad or Young Son to help with making the simple chair I have sketched here. The metal angles and straps to strengthen the back may be bought at any hardware store along with the nails and screws. When the chair is covered in two tones of chintz with edges of back and seat piped in the darker color, it is really very smart. It is especially use­ful in a bedroom or hall. If cov­ ered in the right colors, it will also look well in the living room. Mrs. Spears’ Sewing Book 2, Gifts, Novelties and Embroideries, contains 48 pages of step-by-step directions which have helped thousands of women.'

Des- plaines St., Chicago, HL After This, Old Adage Appears Questionable The little boy had come home from school with considerable food for thought. As soon as he could he appealed to his father. “Daddy,” he began, “is it true that a man is known by the com­ pany he keeps?” “Yes, my boy,” was the prompt reply. But the little chap was not con­ tent. He stated his difficulty. “But, father, if a good man keeps company with a bad man, is the- good man bad because he keeps company with a bad man, or the bad man good because he keeps company with a good man?” MLLrDEVELOPEFAly atao Md led* IIi fcwlitA • i i t Iiii Yqlea I rill till Sg* fcrlMeiiMdfl!k.. .. i .. .ft. oev?uM M |m uifejM eia VlUMMlUWUHCnorWUl YOVB FILMS TO- Jack Rabbit CoCJft aPAOTANBUBC. a.

N eVER before in our experience has a tire met with such instant and unanimous approval as the new Firestone Champion Tire. It’s the Safety Sensation of 1939! Our customers have started a word-of-mouth campaign that is making this the biggest selling tire we’ve ever had. Motor car manufacturers have been so impressed by its superior performance that they haveadopteditfortheir 1939models; Why? Because the Firestone Champion Tire is an entirely new achievement in safety engineering. Stronger Cord Body. This is accomplished first, by the use of a completely new type of tire cord called “Safety-Lock,” in which the cotton fibers are more compactly interwoven to assure cooler running and provide greater strength. Then, die fibers in each individual cord, the cords in each ply and the plies themselves, are all securely locked together by a new and advanced Firestone process of Gum-Dipping which provides amazingly greater strength; And greater strength LO U IS M EYER OffIr TArM-Tfmt WItfftr Aflffoof fflriftfftptlfff 500-Mift Xoct C bam pioa' face d riv e n .

The new Safev-Lock cord construction provides the extra strength needed for the use of the new, thickerp tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip tread which delivers remarkably longer non-skid mileage; This sensational new tread is called “Gear-Grip” because of its unique design — it has more than 3,000 sharp-edged angles which grip die road with a sure-footed hold to protect against skidding and assure a safe stop; Let your nearby Firestone Dealer or Firestone Anto Supply and Service Store equip your car with a new set of Firestone Champion Tires — the onlj Ures made that are safety-proved on tbe speedwayfor your protection on tbe highway.

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY B Y E L IZ A B E T H JO R D A N O D. Applelett-Cetihety Ce., lee.WHUSentoe CHAPTER VIU—Continaed —22— The sun was behind a batik of clouds and a light breeze had sprung up. When they took their places Rex calmly seated himself beside Joan. No need to consider Stuyve- sant now, or be jealous of him. Stuy- vesant was annexed and labeled as the property of another girl. The talk was general and much livelier than it had been earlier in the day. Stuyvesant and Hale were in high spirits. The others did their best to share the mood. “It will really be nice to have you in New York,” Joan told Hale un­ der cover of the mild discussion be­ tween Stuyvesant and Bert. ‘Tm thinking of lots of things you can do for me. Besides,” she added se­ renely, “I’d rather live in New York than in Chicago or California." Hale shook his head at her. “You’re trying to upset my poise,” he said severely. “It can’t be done. Besides, my present plan is to die of a hopeless love for you. I can’t do that if you keep on en­ couraging me with these flotations. I revive every time you smile at me. How the devil can I die if you keep on smiling?” "Couldn’t you give up the funeral and live for me?” Joan wanted to know. But again Hale shook his head at her. “I will not m arry you, Joan,” he said firmly. “Neither will I let you m arry me. But you’re driving me to desperate measures. I think I’ll offer my heart and hand in self- defense to Aimt Hosanna. She can protect me.” “I doubt it,” Joan said thought­ fully. “She isn’t even up to pro­ tecting Mrs. Spencer Forbes.” Hale shot a quick look at her. “Just what do you mean by that?” “Nothing. It’s merely one of those enigmatic remarks that keep my friends guessing.” She dropped the subject so definitely that Hale al­ most heard it fall. The consultation with Doctor Nick Crosby the following Tuesday morn­ ing was brisk and business-like. Crosby in his office was a very dif­ ferent person from the chatty man of the world he had been on Mrs. Nash’s veranda, during Rex’s first meeting with him. At Joan’s sugges­ tion Bert had the first appointment. At Bert’s suggestion Rex accom­ panied him into the private office. It was assumed without discussion that Joan’s examination would take more time. AU Bert said was that he was nervously run down, and wanted help in upbuilding. Crosby made some tests, asked some ques­ tions, gave him some advice, and wrote out a prescription, aU inside, of twenty minutes. Then Joan went in to the doctor alone, and the two young men waited for her in the ante-room. She was gone three- quarters of an hour. When the doc­ tor had bowed her out of his private office, Rex muttered a word of apol­ ogy and went into the consulting- room himself. There he faced the doctor expectantly. “WeU?” he asked. Crosby shrugged. “Everything in Kneeland’s case confirms what you told me in our talk last night. He’U soon be aU Tight, with proper care and treat­ ment.” “And Miss Kneeland?” “I’m not so sure about her. I don’t like some of her symptoms. It’s too soon to be definite. I want to watch her a while." “What do you think the trouble is? Surely you must have some no­ tion.” “I’m holding my notions in abey­ ance. She may have nothing but a nasty case of indigestion. That can play the very mischief with .a pa­ tient, once it gets a bad start. I’ve given her a tonic. I’ve told her not to eat anything between meals, and to . avoid rich dishes. She has no appetite. The tonic may help that. She has been Uving principally on milk. That’s aU right for some peo­ ple, but not so good for others. I’ve stopped it for the time. I’U talk to you about her in a week or two.” Crosby was crisp, professional and not communicative. His man­ ner suggested preoccupation and an undercurrent of perplexity. Hale drove home in Bert's car with the two patients. It was a shabby af­ fair, but good enough for the ap­ palling roads of the region. Bofli patients avowed that they liked the doctor. “He gives me confidence,” Joan testified. “He asks some odd ques­ tions, though. I’d hate to be his wife and try to have any secrets from him.” The shabby car sank into a deep rut and the occupants groaned. “I’m the only girl of my set who hasn’t a car,” Joan said. “That ; shows how economical I am,” she went on cheerfuUy. “I have no expensive tastes at aU. God made me the ideal bride for a young man struggling along on a smaU income. Think that over, Rex,” she added sweetly. “It oughi to suggest a lot of things to an intelUgent mind like yours.” “By Jove, Hale, I believe she’s proposing to you,” Bert exclaimed, with more interest than he had shown since the discussion of the new partnership. “Not yet. I’m thinking about it and throwing out a few subtle hints,” Joan explained. “Is this maidenly?” Bert asked. He gave the wheel a whirl that lifted Joan from her seat. “No. It isn’t good driving, either. It’s too soon for you to get jealous of Rex. He won’t have me yet, at any price. I can only Uve in hope.” Hale said nothing. Girls were in- expUcable, he was thinking. Here was Joan Kneeland, making these poor jokes in the presence of a cousin who was still ill and in love with her. It wasn’t like her. She wasn’t that type. No doubt she was tensed up after her visit to the doc­ tor. Hale rode back to the Camp in silence, hardly hearing the desul­ tory talk of his companions. CHAPTER DC The next three weeks’ life at Hal­ cyon Camp moved on almost as serenely as Casper Kneeland had once dreamed it would do. Under the care of Doctor Crosby Bert Kneeland was beginning to feel him­ self again. Joan, too, looked and ap­ parently felt better than before she though never during the week-ends when he might meet the elder Knee­ land. Finding himself alone with the doctor one day before the oth­ ers had come downstairs Rex. hint­ ed ihat Joan’s progress was not as rapid as he had hoped. “I've no right to butt in—” he admitted. “Just the same—” “Just the same you’re in love with the girl. You’re mighty anxious about her, too, as well you may be.” Crosby spoke shortly. His cheer­ ful, sunburned face wore a look of perplexity. “Just what do you mean by that?” Rex spoke sharply. “Why should I be' anxious?” “Because I’m anxious myself. Be­ cause you’re perfectly right. The girl is improving, but-she isn’t com­ ing up as fast as she should. Every now and then, when I’m feeling most encouraged about her, she has a set-back. I'm beginning to think I may have been remiss. If we had been in town I’d have had her x-rayed before this. As it was, I didn’t want to drag her to New York in the heat, and there didn’t seem any very good reason for it.” They were alone on the porch. The doctor had been lounghig in the big wicker chair. Now he sat up and looked at Hale almost re­ sentfully. “All her symptoms might mean acute nervous indigestion, as Pve “She’s taking a milk nightcap once in a while.” had put herself into his hands. When Hale pressed her for details of the improvement she said briefly that Doctor Crosby was very satisfac­ tory, and that she was following his instructions. Rex was surprised, therefore, when Iate one night, dur­ ing the third week of her treatment, he saw Rose approaching the door of Joan’s room with a small tray in her hand. He passed on; then on an impulse, he stopped and retraced his steps. He checked Rose as she was about to enter the room. “What’s that?” he asked, look­ ing down at the tray. “Just a little milk, sir.” Rose was surprised by the question and showed it. Her expression confused the investigator. After all, what right had he . . . “I thought Miss Joan didn’t eat anything between meals,” he said, less incisively than he had spoken before. He was amazed by his own persistence, and still more by his resentment of that tray. It was a nice little tray, holding nothing but a napkin and a small thermos bot­ tle. “She doesn’t, usually,” Rose ad­ mitted. “Only once in a while. Jane said I was to bring this up because she didn’t eat much dinner.” Hale nodded and walked on to his room. There seemed nothing more he could do tonight. He would cer­ tainly speak to Joan in the morning about that milk. It would not be easy. His rela­ tions with Joan were becoming a trifle strained. She alternately tor­ mented him, teased him, bullied him, and was charming to him. That was all right, of course, if it was the way she wanted to act. But this, too, did not seem like her. He took refuge with Mrs. Spencer Forbes and Bert, both of whom were very friendly, and with Miss Hosanna, who also surprised him at times.' She admitted that she was tired. There were days when she was im­ patient, almost snappish. He sus­ pected. that all was not going smoothly between her and Mrs. Spencer Forbes. Mrs. Spencer Forbes, he saw, was closely observ­ ing Bert. At' times, as she watched him, her pale eyes held something of the look Ainsworth’s had so often held when he was observing the hu­ mans around him—the look of an interested spectator following a drama. Crosby had formed the habit of dropping into the Camp at tea time, said,” he went on irritably. “The general condition girls of today get themselves into by the fool tilings they do passes understanding. She tells me she never went <n for much cocktail drinking, but that last win­ ter she smoked a lot—twenty-five cigarettes or more a day, some­ times. She admits that last winter, too, she was going out every night and getting along on five or six hours' sleep. She says she didn’t get to bed till three or four in the morning, and that she was usually awake by eight and couldn’t go to sleep again. AU that would account for the state she’s in if she kept it up. - But she isn’t doing that. She’s leading a perfectly healthy, normal life. She’s dieting. She has all the air and "sunshine and exercise she needs. With her natural constitu­ tion, which is fine, she ought to be forging ahead steadily—not up one week and sUpping back the next, like the proverbial cat in the well. She has me guessing. But she swears she’s taking her tonic and foUowing my instructions.” “Not about her diet,” Rex told him. “She’s taking a milk night­ cap once in awhile. I caught her at it one night this week and spoke to her about it the next morning.” “What did she say?” “Oh, that she had only done it a few times when she was thirsty. She likes milk, it seems. She had been just about Uving on it this summer tiH she went to you. She has been brought up on the theory that milk is the ideal food for us aU.” “She’s got to let me decide that,” Crosby said shortly. ‘TH speak to her about it.” He had no opportunity to do so that day. Joan didn’t come down to tea, and the doctor refused an in­ vitation to stay on for dinner. The Uttle conversation lingered in Hale’s mind, however,- and when that night he again met Rose taking a thermos bottle to Joan’s room he was ready for the encounter. Indeed, he was more than ready. He was ruffled and disturbed out of afl proportion to the incident. His eyes had the reddish look they took on in anger. “Milk?” he asked curtly. “Yes, sir.” “Did Miss Joan order it?” “No, sir. I was told to leave it in Iwr room in case she wanted it during the night. She used to have it every night, you know. Now she doesn’t often drink it.” “But you leave it there every night?” “No, sir. Only nights when shs doesn’t eat much dinner.” “Who told you to?” “Jane, sir.” Rex took the thermos bottle from the tray and held it in his hand. “I’U take care of this,” he mut­ tered, and added more calmly, “Rose, you want Miss Joan to get weU, don’t you?” “Oh, yes, sir. Of course I do!” “WeU, the doctor doesn’t want her to eat anything between meals. So don’t tempt her. Don’t leave any Uquids or food of any kind in her room after this. Those are the doc­ tor’s orders. You won’t forget that, wiU you?” “No, sir. I’U teU Jane what you say.” Rose spoke coldly. She liked thi^ young man very much, but she had just decided that in this Uttle mat­ ter he was exceeding his privileges. Rex smiled at her and took the ther­ mos bottle into his own room. He left it in the bathroom, and made his night toilet slowly - and thoughtfuUy. He was wrestling with one of the hunches that always irriJ tated him, useful though they had so often proved to be. At last, when he was ready for bed and should have got into it without further hesi­ tation, he abruptly gave up his men­ tal struggle. He put on gloves, poured the mUk from the thermos bottle into a new glass, bottle that stood on a shelf, corked and labeled it, and packed it carefuUy in a small wooden box. He then packed the thermos bottle with equal care. It would reveal a choice coUection of fingerprints—his own, Rose’s, Jane’s, and perhaps others. But he now had in Ms growing coUection the fingerprints of everyone in the house, just as he bad bottles and packing cases in wMch to sMp specimens for finger­ printing or analysis. In a household where so many happenings out of the normal had occurred, it would do no harm to take some precau­ tions. He.griimed wryly as he took this one. It was time to get out of Halcyon Camp. He was having too many hunches. He was getting morbid. Nevertheless he walked the three mties to the nearest post-office early the next morning, and sent Ms parcels to their different desti­ nations.

For many years the main channel in the Mississippi river ran on the T^nnessee side of Brandywine. Then came Centennial cutoff, changing the channel to the Arkansas side of the island, and, finally almost join­ ing Islands 40 and 41 to the Arkan­ sas shore. Brandywine chute often gets so low in summer that- people walk across it. However, during the Mgh water in.the early part of 1937, a current started down the chute wMch widened it somewhat. River men befieve that eventually the main channel wiU revert to its old course. Brandywine island. was formed over the hulk of the big sidewheel steamer Brandywine, which bwned near the center of the island 106 years ago, resulting in the death of 155 persons. It began as Brandy­ wine Towhead, kept building up un­ til it now is an island of about 600 acres. Meaning of Gaelic Webster’s dictionary lists the Gaels as the Celtic inhabitants of Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man, especially a Scottish Highland­ er of GaeUc speech; also any mem­ ber of the GaeUc-speaking branch of the Celts.. The Britannica states that the term-“Gaelic”'in its widest sense is used almost synonymously with “Celtic,” and one hears of Irish GaeUc, Scottish Gaelic, etc. The Scottish GaeUc is the form of GoideUc speech wMch was intro­ duced into Scotlandby the Dalriadic Scots from Ireland. .There are im­ portant divergencies in phonetics and inflections Jietween Irish and Scottish GaeUc. The .Gaelic league was founded in 1893 in Dublin, Ire­ land, to'preserve the use of the old Irish language, now the first official language of the Irish Free State, W h a t t o E a t a n d W h y C. Houston Goudiss Recommends Generous Use of Eggs; Shows How This Protective Food Helps to Balance the Diet By C- HOUSTON GOUDISS A NY experienced homemaker knows the many cookery uses of eggs. Indeed, she is likely to feel that she could not keep house without this indispensable ingredient, which a Frendi chef once described as “the cement that holds the castles of cookery together.” It is true that we should have to do without some of our most delectable dishes if eggs were not available to use as thickening, leavening, coating, binder, clarifier, stabilizer or garnish. But even more significant than' their contribution to good cooking are their splendid nu­ tritional values. A Notable Protective Food Eggs rank next to milk in that group of mineral—and vitamin- rich foods that we caU “protective.” They contain sub­ stances that are very efficient for growth and devel­ opment. And in the opinion of nutri­ tionists, they are more nearly inter­ changeable with milk than any oth­ er food. Eggs are among the first foods to be added to the milk diet of infants. And home­ makers who desire to give their families well-balanced meals should provide an egg daily for every individual. This requirement can be re­ duced, if necessary, to four eggs weekly. But luckily, as we head toward spring, eggs become more plentiful, and lower in price. And it is usually possible for every family to obtain a full quota of tiiis splendid food . . . so rich in the elements that help' to build muscle, bone and blood. A Rne Body Builder Eggs contain proteins of Mgh quality, and their proteins seem to be particularly well adapted to building body tissue. That is one reason why this food is so desir­ able in the child’s diet . . . so useful in constructing the diet for adults who need “building up.” It also makes eggs a logical choice as a main dish for Lmiten meals. It’s interesting to note that the proteins of the wMte and yolk of an egg are quite different in their properties. Egg wMte is almost pure protein and water, while the protein of the yolk is composed of a different assortment of amino acids, or building stones. The yolk also contains fat . . . in a finely emulsified form, so that like milk fat, it is comparatively easy to digest. And it is the yolk wMch is MgMy prized for its rich store of minerals and vita­ mins. It is therefore considered the most important part of the egg for young children, and the white is often withheld and only the grated yolk given. Rich In Iron and Phosphorus Eggs are notable as a source of Iron and phosphorus. Iron is necessary for the formation of the hemoglobin or red pigment of the blood, and the iron in eggs is valuable for this purpose. Phos­ phorus is the mineral that pairs with calcium in building teeth and bones. It also plays an important part in regulating the neutrality of the blood. The phosphorus in eggs occurs in a form that is par­ ticularly well adapted to the needs of the growing body. Four Imporianl Viiamins As our knowledge of vitamins has increased, nutritionists have urged that eggs be accorded a wider place in the diet, for they supply four of these vital factors— vitamins A, B, D and G. They are an important source of vita­ min A, wMch promotes growth and helps build resistance to dis­ ease. The appetite-promoting vi­ tamin B occurs in lesser amounts than A, but its presence helps to increase the quantity of this es­ sential substance included in the daily diet. Eggs are one of the few foods naturally containing vitamin D, sometimes called the sunshine vi­ tamin. And it has been deter­ mined that they are rich in vita­ min G, wMch is required for health and vitality at all ages. Raw Eqgt vs. Cooked Eggs are one of the foods that digest most satisfactorily, about 97 to 98 per cent of their protein being digested and absorbed. Moreover,-the thoroughness of di­ gestion does not seem to be af­ fected by the method of cooking, and a hard-cooked egg, when well masticated, is as completely di­ gested as one that is soft-cooked. Raw egg wMte on the other hand is not as completely, utilized as when slightly cooked. This shows the fallacy of the old-fasMoned idea that raw eggs were more desirable for invalids than cooked eggs. Brown Egg* vs. White Some people have an idea that the color of the shell has a bear­ ing upon the nutritive value at an egg. In certain parts of the coun­ try, homemakers will pay a pre­ mium for eggs with wMte shells. In other sections, brown eggs are in greater demand, and therefore sell at a Mgher price. There is no justification for attaching any importance to the color of the shell. Avoid "Same Old Thing" Occasionally homemakers teU me that some member of their family doesn’t like eggs. It is true that some people have an al­ lergy to eggs, that is, they cannot eat them without having some ab­ normal reaction. But more often, any antipathy to eggs is due to the fact that they have been served in the same way, day in and day out. There is no excuse for that, for eggs are so versatile that they may be served in dozens of different ways, and in some dishes, their identity can be en­ tirely concealed. “Sunny side up” may be the most popular method of preparing eggs. But don’t get into a meny rut, whether you are serving them for breakfast, dinner, lunch or supper. Cook them soft. Cook them hard. Transform them into; omelets and souffles. Scramble them, plain, or dressed up with cheese, diced bacon, frizzled dried beef or sausages. Egg* for Lenten Meal As a main dish for a Lenten meal, hard-cooked eggs may be creamed and served alone, or combined with cooked vegetables or fresh or canned fish. Use them as a binder in croquettes and loaf mixtures, as a coating for deep- fried foods. French toast is a simple lunch­ eon dish, combining the energy values of bread with the fine nu­ tritive values of eggs. Hearty luncheon salads or sandwiches can be made by combining chopped or sliced hard-cooked eggs with fresh or cooked vege­ tables. Since eggs admirably supple­ ment the food values of milk, puddings made from milk and eggs are an ideal dessert for chil­ dren, and help to balance the diet of adults. Custard pies, fruit whips and cakes are also delight­ ful dishes that bring to the diet the protective values of eggs. ©—WNU—C.

Its experience in traffic acci dents and deaths during the past eight weeks is illamir.atius. For tbese6 o days Atlanta reports only five faial accidents. During the same period last year there were 21 fatalities. The net gain, other things being equal, is expres­ sed in terms of at least 16 lives that, otherwise might have perished in traffic accidents. There’s something interesting in the figures showing the total num­ ber of traffic accidents for the pe­ riod this year and las-t too. In the first two months of 1938, Atlanta had 1,100 motor accidents. For t-e same peroid this year there were only 700. Conclusion comes that Atlanta did not adopt the 25 nrle limit plan by guess work. The muicipal off­ icials evidently have been studying the “danger unit” statistic pre­ pared by traffic experts. Teey have been glancing at records of police departments which show that ac- cidants occurring when tne speed involved is 25 miles an hour are seldom fatal. They know that the energy to be absorbed if we stike an object While running 25 miles an hour is just the same as if we fell from a height of 20.9 feet, For thousands of years, says Travelers’ safety bulletin, men have been fall­ ing off their two story dwellings and out of trees. It is possible to survive this “shock lim it'’ for the human body. So 25 miles an hour is set as the danger unit. At 35 the blows are twice as heavy. Xhe body, of co­ urse, cannot stand such blows. It might be a good, idea for all cities to set their speed limits at 25 miles an hour, except possibly in badly congested areas where it is neces­ sary to clear traffic quickly. If en­ forced it would save lives. —Win­ ston Sentinel. At The End Of The Rope Ever and anon, you heat some­ body say that—they "are at the end of the rope." .The individual who makes that remark means, of course, that there is nothing more that can be done. Resources are at an euc\ He has diawn out all he has on de­ posit in the form of resistence—re­ serves. . Well, often it happens, and tra­ gically, that when men come to that extremity; when th ey think they have reached the iend of their rope, they follow the course which their despair dictates, call for the count and to be t-iken out of the ring. Dr. Joseph Fo»t Newton has a far better suggestion for those who intelligently would like to escape such consequences. “ When you come to the end of your rope,” he says, do not tie a noose but a knot iu it, and instead of hanging yourself, hang on.” Great sermon/ th at!—Charlotte Observer. Hickory Has 17,117 Population. Hickory now has a population of 17,117, according to a city directory just completed the past week. The population of Hickory in 1920, as shown by the government count, was a little more than 7.000^ Twelve gears later, after the merger by which Highland and west Hickory were taken into the city, a special censua bureBu count showed a pop- u'ation of 10,776 withih the city Iini- ts.

Buildings have been erected on the 200-icre tract, three large'tanks have been erected, and finishing touches of silver enamel have baen applied ........... More than 400 men, an estimated 80 per cent or m oie-residents of the Brevard vicinity, have been given employment on the const­ ruction. ’ The vast plant is expected to be completed in the near future and made ready for operations. Transylvania county citizens are highly Dleased at location of the plant and they will discuss readily benefits they say will result. New business, employment, payrolls, and a market for native grown flax are among benefits most frequently mentioned. North Carolina will, enthusiastic boosters point out, be able to give American smokers an all-Tar Heel cigarette after the plant begins op erations.

Q NCE1 pins were so expensive that only the rich could afford them. .There was a law allowing the sale of pins only on the first two days of the new year and on those days, the women of wealth' would obtain from their husbands “pin money” to shop for their pins. The expression held through the years, extending its meaning when pins became cheap, to any money used for personal expenses. . . © W estern New spaper Union. Lived Under Every President. Thirty one men have served a? Presidedt of the United States and Thomas Marley, of Chatham county, and his father who bore the same name, have lived duaing the admit,is tration of all the 31 Presidents. The present Tom Marley, living at Marley’s Mill, was never called ‘Junior” beacuse his father was 70 years old when the boy was born and dien a - few months after his son’s birth. ■ The elder Tom Marley was borr. during- the last years of George Washington. He was born on July 21, 1794, and died on Mif HS, 1862. H s gon was bom on January 31,1862, and is now 77 years of age. Altogether the lives of the two Tom MarIeys stretch to include every President that America has had in its long and colorful history. The first Tom Marley was nine years old at the tin& of the Louis iana purchase and the same age when Fulton took his steamboat Clermont, on its maiden voyage Up the Hudson river. He was 18 years of age during the war of 1812 and 21 years old when Napoleon met his WaterIc 0. Perhaps many families fan boast of kin in three or four generations whose lives stretch over the presi­ dential terms, but some people be­ lieve the two Tom Marleys are the only father and son in the nation who can boast of such a distinction. Would Be Too Bad. (From Charleston Newsand Courier) The Democratic party can prob­ ably win the next election by all. otting an average of $3,000,000 for public improvements in each congres­ sional district in the United States, in addition to the allotments for "relief,” social security and so forth, the monies to be voted in 1940— election year. Nothing is likely to prevent the purchase of. a majority of the American electorate, as long as the government can borrow and borrow, spend and spend. For the borrowing power of government to give out and the wasting and wast­ ing to end before the next election would be too bad, too bad. Made A Sweet Discovery Haywood Melvin. NYA worker, of Roseboro1 Sampson county, wasn’t prospecting when he was working with a crew of youths in Cat Tail swamp, near the community build­ ing, but he made a sweet discovery, while digging in the swamp, Melvin struck an old galvanized tube and was surprised when bees began to swarm about and sting him. Further investigation showed that a swarm of bees had ' seH&ted/the tube for their "hive’’ and th.e tube contained about 40 pounds of honey.

Election Law Reform Demanded. During the almost 25 years since North Carolina adopted the primary system for nominating candidates there has never been so widespread dissatisfaction and so strong demand on the part of the public as in the last year or so for revision of the primary and election laws to make it more difficult for partisons. party workers, politicians and representa­ tives of candidates.to practice fraud and corruption of the ballot. It is the desire for honest pri­ maries and. elections and for protec­ tion of candidates, that has inspired the demand; for reform and for eli­ mination of corruption at the ballot box. That explains the widespread and unprecedented demand for the re­ peal of the absentee ballot law,' which was enacted as a' temporary meisury in .World war days to pro­ tect the men in tSe military service against loss of the franchise. It is the explanation of the demand for the elimination of or the sharp rv- strictinn of the use of markers at the polls. Yet, not only do groupi of mem­ bers of the' Legislature and other politicians and poliiical workers op­ pose the abolishment of the absen­ tee ballot system and the use of markers, but some of them fight stubbornly against any bill designed, not to abol sh. but to reform these practices. Tbev apparently want no revision of the law, no change what* ever, that is designed to promote honesty iu elections and primaries, to eliminate corruption of the ballot. It is really disturbing to those who' believe in clean elections and primaries to hear and read some of the statements and arguments of men chosen to make, unmake and a- mend the laws of the State, to make appropriations and frame tax laws Reports from Raleigh quote some members of the Legislature as de daring with respect to proposed measures designed only to eliminate fraudulent practices and corruption at the poll?: "If this bi'l had been law, I would not have been here,” or “if ihis bill is passed, I cannot come here again.” They apparently do not realize that such are the strongest argu­ ments for the measures they oppose. Their statements imply that they were not really the choice of tbeir constituents, , but by the Use of ques­ tionable methods and practices the; won the victory over their opponents and that if such practices are elimi­ nated the people of their respective counties next time will succeed in electing the men they want instead of thoee now occupying the offices. - Men making snch remarks ap- pareptly mean that what they want is nomination and election, regard­ less of the will of the people, "by hook or crook,’- including plenty of the latter if necessary for success in tbeir contests.

The stste police­ man makes a general observance of the suspect, an oral examination, and, when the suspect is willing, a co-ordination test. He is instruct­ ed to draw a square with a circle in­ side it and two lines within the circle.'

Ip p h to a - C w tuiy Ce., Inc. WHU Sonic* CHAPTER EC—Contiimed —23— The second day after that Hale and Joan and Bert again departed in young Kneeland’s motor-boat and cruised about till evening. They lunched at the camp to which they had taken Stuyvesant. The day was a delightful one. Bert was at his quiet best. Joan looked better and was in unusually good spirits. As always with her now, good spirits found expression in a steady baiting of Uncle Casper’s new secretary. “Time is flying,” she informed Hale, after luncheon. Bert had tact­ fully spread himself out for a nap under the pines that formed the back curtain of the picnic ground. Just out of earshot Joan and Hale sat on a rug, side by side, their backs propped against trees. “In another month,” Joan went on, “you will be Mr. Stuyvesant’s young man, not mine. The reflection makes me desperate: I feel that something must be done. I must inquire into your state of mind.” ‘I know only too well what those inquiries will be.” Rex groaned. “All right. Speak to me of love. You can sing it if you want to. In fact, Fd rather you sang.” ’On the contrary,” Joan assured him, “I’m going to be extremely practical. I’m going to put an ab­ stract case to you.” She closed her eyes as if in deep concentration. “We may have to consider, say, a rich young girl, full of charm of person and character, who has no expensive tastes.: Though her in­ come is more than forty thousand a year she never spends more than ten thousand of it. That includes her small share of the running ex­ penses of two houses—a town house and a summer camp.” Hale grasped his opportunity with enthusiasm. “And I’m going to tell you that she’s a shocking case,” he broke in severely. “Has die no sense of the responsibilities of wealth? That money wasn’t given her to be piled up in banks. She’s expected to go in for charitable works. She’s sup­ posed to share with her less for­ tunate brothers and sisters—” Before his sentence was finished he realized his slip, but it was too late. “That’s exactly what she wants to do,” Joan interrupted eagerly. “She wants to share it with a less fortu­ nate brother. She knows of a poor little brother that thinks he must struggle along on ten thousand a year. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Don’t you see that with his ten thousand, and her ten thousand, they can get along per­ fectly? It would be an equal part­ nership. They could—” Rex had found his breath. “I don’t know'your poor IitQe brother,” he said coldly. “But if he’s worth his salt he won’t want a wife who has to pay half their liv­ ing expenses. He’ll pay them .as he goes. I should think he’d go pret­ ty quick,” he predicted gloomily, “if he’s made fun of twelve hours a day, like a man I know. Speaking of going quickly,” he added with animation, “Stuyvesant wants me to start with him in a week or two. He’s got a big new contract He needs help.” Joan nodded thoughtfully. “I know,” she admitted. “You’re getting resQess and ready to es­ cape. That’s why I want your views on these important questions. I hardly dare to ask them. You have such a hunted look in your eyes all the time. I suppose some girl is pursuing you.” “If I look hunted it’s no more than I feel,” Rex admitted sulkily. “Some girl is pursuing me. "Why doesn’t she have a closed season on me till I go back to New- York? That would give me a chance to brace up for my new job.” “And all . the time,” Joan went on calmly, “you love that girl to dis­ traction. You know it. and she knows it. Was there ever a woman who didn’t know when a man loved her?” she interrupted herself to ask. “One’s always reading about them. But do they exist outside of books? I don’t think so. However, that’s a side issue. What I’m saying, Rex, is that you love that girl to dis­ traction. It’s only her money that stands, between you two, as novel­ ists would say. Well, why should it? You were mad about her from the first week you met her,” she went on calmly. “You decided it would never do, and she read your mental processes as if they were written on the wall. You weren’t going to be considered a fortune- hunter. You weren’t going to live on any woman’s money. You weren’t going to do this and you weren’t going to do that. All you thought about was . yourself, and your feelings-and your life. You never gave a thought to her, or to her feelings or to her life. It was the most abominable selfishness I ever saw.” She let that sink in and then .con­ tinued hotly. . “But you forgot another thing. You’re so old-fashioned in your ideas that you actually thought she was like you. You thought she would be a shy maidenly young thing eating her heart out for love of you, while you hustled around looking for a poor girl to marry and support. Well, from .what I know of her she’s not that kind.” She stopped again. He did not speak and she went on. “No girl is that kind these days. If the man hasn’t sense enough or pep enough to ask the girl he loves to m arry him, she throws her maid­ enly modesty to the wind, if she ever had any. She grabs him be­ fore some other girl gets him. He. might as well make up his mind—” Rex sighed. “This discourse is very interest­ ing,” he admitted. “You ought to give addresses before women’s clubs.” “I may, some day. Just now, I’m busy. I’m trying my theories on you.” “Are there many more of them?” Rex asked anxiously. “There are—lots. For instance, if a man hasn’t a situation I can worth—had all professed their de­ votion until she refused to listen to them. He knew what this sort of thing had done to the girl. It had made her suspicious and a trifle hard. He knew her opinion of for­ tune-hunters. What he did not know, could not be sure of, was the nature of her real feeling for him. How much of her talk was raillery? How much, if any, was sincere? Today, at last, she had jolted him into self­ betrayal. Recalling that look in her eyes, and her final words—for once so serious—he suspected that the self-betrayal was not all on his side. But here, too. he was not sure. She was a good actress. That night she deliberately avoid­ ed him. She dined with Mrs. Nash, and he was almost sure that she had asked for the invitation over the telephone. She took Bert with her as escort through the woods. Hale had to content himself with the so­ ciety of Miss Hosanna, who was also unusually silent, and of Mrs. Spen­ cer Forbes, who earned his word­ less gratitude by talking steadily. AU three sat before the light blaze t t o “ I miss those powders Haines brought me.'”* imagine his hesitating to propose to a girl who is handicapped by money—” “Well, that’s progress," Rex said hastily. “You couldn’t imagine that, a fortnight ago.” “I could, but I didn’t Don’t in­ terrupt me. What I’m getting at is this question. When a young man has a job and good prospects, is he justified in ignoring a girl’s break­ ing heart and leaving her to the hor­ rors of a spinster’s life? You have only'to read any modern novel, or see any modem play, to realize ex­ actly what such horrors are.” . Rex laughed. “You’re- awfully entertaining, Joan,” he assured her. “If I wasn’t always the butt of your good spirits I’d enjoy you more. . But go on, as long as you like. I can take it.” Joan’s spirits dropped as sudden­ ly as Qiey- had risen. “I’m tired of you,” she abrupOy announced. She stood up. "I think I’U get me to a nunnery, where I won’t be irritated by stubborn young men who don’t know happiness when she knocks at their door.” For a moment they stood facing one another. On a sudden impulse Rex caught her hands. “Joan,” he said unsteadily, “let’s got down to brass tacks. VQien I’m earning twenty-five thousand a year I’m going to ask you to m arry me. I don’t think it will take long—not more than a few years. B ut-I wish you’d wait for me.” The long look she gave him was a strange one. - He thought of it throughout that day. It seemed made up in equal-parts pf under­ standing, humor and tolerance, with perhaps a . touch of impatient scorn. “You love yourself more than you do me,” she said at last. “That,” he said more unsteadily than before, “isn’t true. You know it isn’t true.” “I know that your pride means more to'you than I do,” she told him slowly. “I don’t know whether I’m prepared to stand by and watch you nurse your pride for years. I hardly think I am. But if this is a proposal, Mr. Hale, I’ll give it due consideration.” Before he could stop her she had drawn her hands away and walked over to the sleeping Bert. She woke him, and . peremptorily announced that she. Was going home. She did not speak during the return journey. Rex maintained a miserable si­ lence. He was unhappy but he could not feel .that he was wrong. He had learned from chance remarks made by Miss Hosanna, by Mrs. Spencer Forbes, by Mrs. Nash, that almost every young man Joan Kneeland knew had asked her to marry him. He knew that the three in the house -that summer—Bert, Craig and Ains- with which Miss Hosanna saw fit to brighten the living-room, even on warm evenings. She pretended that she did it to dispel dampness and protect the piano. Mrs. Spencer Forbes broke into her own mono­ logue with an unexpected comment. “I miss those powders Haines brought me,” she said abruptly.-She added as Miss Hosanna stiffened and stared at her, "Oh, you needn’t look so surprised, Hosanna. Rex knows all about it. It was he who took it on himself to order Haines off the place. -He threatened him with the police if he ever came here again. I’m annoyed with you,” she assured Rex. He was ruffled enough to imitate her frankness. “If you’re annoyed you ought to be grateful, too,” he said simply. “If you really, miss that stuff so much it had a stronger hold on you QiEm you realized.” To his surprise she agreed yrith this at once. “It shows how little we under­ stand ourselves and how much we can overestimate our will power." She admitted, “I’m not suffering. But I’m resQess and uneasy. I miss the stuff, as you call it, as a con­ formed smoker misses his tobacco. I begin to think that I’m really un­ der obligations to you. You ought to be, too,- Hosanna,” she ended cheerfully. “You were fussing and preaching to me all last year. This year you haven’t preached; but it must be a comfort to you to know I’m a reformed character. For I shan’t go back to it. There’s one lesson, and only one, so far as I know, that I’ve learned in my half- century of living. I make more mis­ takes than most people. But at least I’ve learned not to make the same mistake twice.” Hale glanced at Miss Hosanna. He expected some comment on this, some evidence of relief. None came. Miss Hosanna, busy With the knit­ ting that occupied her spare hours, neither spoke nor raised her eyes from her work. He was not even sure that she had heard. Certainly she had not been listening to Ruth’s previous monologue. She had worn all evening the effect of one so deep­ ly withdrawn into her own subcon­ sciousness that she heard or saw lit­ tle around her. He became aware that Mrs. Spencer Forbes was look­ ing at her, too. She was looking with what, in anyone else, might have seemed anxiety. But that must be a mistake. Mrs. Spencer Forbes was never anxious about anyone. Hale went for a lonely walk along the beach. It was a beautiful night. The moonlight reminded him that he had been at Halcyon Camp al­ most two months. There had been moonlight on the night of his arriv­ al. He remembered the glory of the moon’s path across the sea. Well, he had done sometiting in that time. Mentally he put his achieve­ ments in the order of their impor­ tance. He had fallen in love. He must admit that now. He had rid the Camp of Craig. He had also got Ainsworth out of it. Indirectly, he had probably saved Mrs. Spencer Forbes from becoming a heroin ad­ dict. Now, all should be smooth sailing at Halcyon Camp—but it was not. He had brought upon himself Joan’s anger and contempt. He couldn’t feel that his results had impressed Kneeland very much. Probably Kneeland would increasingly feel that Ainsworth had got the better of him, and that Bert’s danger from Craig had been largely Imagined. It might be a good idea to bid Hal­ cyon Camp a fond farewell, ex­ press his appreciation to its in­ mates, and go back to New York the end of Qie week. Stuyvesant would be glad to have him start in. He had said as much. Yes, his use­ fulness here was over. Or was it? The face of Joan swung before him, and he experienced a complete mental foce-about. He couldn't leave Joan at Halcyon Camp. He didn’t know why, but he couldn’t. His reasons were so slight, so in­ credible, that he would not dwell on them. He would have been humili­ ated to have anyone, even Stuyve­ sant, know that he had-sent that milk to New York for analysis. He' was ashamed of having done i t His suspicions—as persistent and as ir­ ritating as the buzzing of a mosquito around one’s face at night—were as unimportant as the mosquito would have been. He had no real grounds for them. He had only one of his in­ fernal hunches. (TO BE CONTINUED) N e u r o t ic s A r e B e n e f i t e d b y F r i e n d l y P u p p y A r o u n d t h e H o m e , A u t h o r i t y S a y s The neurotic, substitute halfback may be able to pull'a hopeless game out of Qie fire with an inspired touchdown, but the back who makes the All-American will be a lad who carries the mail in game after game. The answer is simple. The boy who can deliver his best at all times is dependable because he is without a host of inhibitions. - He has had a normal boyhood in which dogs, rough games, and self-respect played big parts. Dogs are tremendously important to children, and they prevent the development of the neurosis. In­ deed, dogs often can put adults back on the main track after they have wandered into the by-ways. Exces­ sive fussiness over one’s clothing and one’s home, is a sure sign of neu­ rotic influence. This is the theme underlaying the article, "A Positive Cure for Neatness,” by Loring H. Dodd, which appears in the Amer­ ican Kennel Gazette. The article tells the story of two people—a man and his wife—who were so spic and span about their personal appearance and about their home that it was almost pain­ ful. Then they bought a cocker spaniel puppy. Soon things began to happen to some of their choicest possessions. Rugs and chair legs were chewed. Stains appeared with alarming frequency. And when the puppy was put outside, whines spoiled their quiet evenings. So the puppy was sent away. But during Qie weeks these people had owned the pup, the tyke- had done something else. It had stolen into their hearts in such manner that—with the puppy gone—they missed it terribly. Soon they bought it back at twice the original price, and were happy. From Qiat mo­ ment on, they forgot about muddy paws and other trifling inconven­ iences. They became human. People who once'learn about dogs are never satisfied to be without these splendid pets, and they always make certain their Children have the benefit of good dogs. Flying Fish BniId Nests Flying fish emulate birds not only in taking to the stir; they also build- nests. To be sure, their nests are no more like birds’ nests than their “flight” is like the flight of birds. Nevertheless they are nests, with the eggs of flying fish in them. Dr. E. W. Gudger of the American Mu­ seum of Natural History, in a re­ port prepared for the American Nat­ uralist, summarized all the informa­ tion avsdlable about these flsh-nests. They are made in-clumps of float­ ing gulfweed or sargassum, and the stringy masses of eggs are not only sheltered in the nests, but serve to tie the structure together. For a long time it had been thought that these gulfweed nests were the work of the little sargassumfish, a fan­ tastic IitQe “finger-finned” creature that lurks in the masses of floating seaweed.

Some of the office holders seem tr be between the devil and deep blue sea. It is haid to please all the fellows who voted for them. There are some things money won’t buy—one of them is space it The Record to advertise alcoholic beverages—liquor, wine and beer.

The papers are predicting that the North Carolina legislature wili adjourn about the first of April. So far as we know, the state wouid have been in as good shape if they hadn't riitt.

PARTON X JEW YORK.—Lester P. Barlow, ' temperamental inventor of bombs and other war weapons, re­ cently said he wasn’t going to con- - ' gress with hisinventor Gets tad news about German Bomb the devastating Story Recorded ^ w German air bomb, because they “put him in the dog-house” when he tried to tell the house naval affairs committee something last year. But his story gets into the Record, via Senator Bennett C. Clark, who relays to Maj. Gen. H. H. Arnold the news of the bomb, as he had it from Mr. Barlow, and asks the general what about it. The general tells of army reports that the German bombs in Barcelona “killed every human being within the range of a quarter of a mile.” The 0. S. A. was supposed to have used about $300,000,000 worth of Barlow bombs and weapons in the World war. Several weeks ago, the senate voted him $592,719 in royalties for the wartime use of his pat­ ents. IIe is a prolific inventor, now consulting engineer for the Glenn L. Martin Co., of Balti­ more, builders of bombing planes. He describes the new German bomb as truly horren­ dous, basically a combination of — liquid oxygen and carbon, but with other ingredients, such as magnesium and aluminum. Be thinks he can just about match it with his L. O. X. bomb. In 1932, he offered to President Hoover a simple button-pushing rig which would wipe out a city hun­ dreds of miles away. Even with the backing of Senator Frazier of North Dakota, he failed to get the government interested and was said to have offered his device to Russia and Germany. Later, he had other disappointing encounters in con­ gress, offering, among other things, a shock-proof battleship, on whose ribs the heaviest projectile would be just the pat of a powder-puff. Modernized Cavalry Practice Wartime Maneuvers Weather conditions and rough terrain do not stop the mounted soldier. He operates as well in fog or rain as when atmospheric conditions are favorable. To the horse cavalry the passage of bad terrain is all in a day’s work—rocks and bills, sand and mud, forests and rivers never stop them. Graphic illustration of this is fur­ nished in the picture at the left where a 75-mm gun battery unit nears the top of a steep hill during First Cavalry division maneuvers at Fort Bliss, Texas.

GLOVED GOURMET ‘D i z z y ’ C o n f i d e n t A r m I s i n S h a p e % TJIG, Bucko Giuseppe Creatore, ■*-* puffing smoke from a cigar as unfailing as Vesuvius, makes a grand comeback, as he nears 70,- to _ his own and ev-C reatore Comes erybody else’s Back in Opera complete satis- F o r the Masses ^ ction- T h eBronx recently celebrated its 300th birthday with a big splash of 40-cent grand opera, with Signor Creatore finding in “Aida” something in the range of his titanic energies. The opera company will be permanent, finan­ cial wind and weather permitting, to be supplemented by a series of symphonic concerts. As a band conductor, Signor Creatore used to earn as much as $5,000 a night. He slipped out of sight, and then, in June, 1935, was conducting one of the park bands of the New Tork Emergency Belief bureau. His cigar and his baton were still bold and unwavering and he told the reporters he was pacing the country back to better times. He had with him about half of the players in his old band of the days of their tuneful and triumphant national tours. He arrived in this country from Italy in 1902, with a lush black mus­ tache and a heavy mane, but little else worth mentioning. Two days later, he was playing on Hammer- stein’s roof. A contemporary of Sousa, he became one of the coun­ try’s most famous bandmasters, only temporarily clipped — or eclipsed—by the depression, it is to be hoped. — • — Y y pHEN Britain and the United States begin to exchange cook­ ing recipes, they are really getting neighborly.

When we get to telling each other about our operations, the entente will be com­plete. Carlota is the wife of Lonis Oppenheimer, managing direc­ tor of the South African dia­ mond syndicate. She has pub­ lished many books of poetry in many countries, speaks seven languages fluently, and finds time to convert old houses into charming dwellings or “mews,” for working people. Her London home is one of the great social and political salons of England. She knows the proverbial way to the now somewhat intransi­ gent American heart. Her visit marks a pleasant departure from the customary exchange of recipes for cooking TNT and the like. , ® Consolidated News F eatu res..WNU Service.

S t a r D u s t ★ Censor Comes to Bat ★ Appeasement of Isa ★ tBcanpt Arrives via Air B y V irg in ia V a te — IT’S an ill censor that blowa no picture some good. War­ ner Brothers’ “Yes, My Dar­ ling Daughter” is the latest picture to profit by censorship. And anyone who saw the play of the same name on which the picture was based is likely to' suspect, that the movie moguls who were responsible for the film rather hoped that a little censorship, though a dangerous thing, might result in plenty of free publicity. New York’s state censor board obligingly banned the picture. Whereupon the department of edu­ cation’s board of regents even more obligingly lifted the ban, and the public rushed to the theater where the picture was finally shown, eager to see what all the fuss was about. In fact* so much interest' was stirred up in this darling daughter that the theatrical producer who produced the original play is said to be considering reviving it. — * — Some of the women who lead the books of the “Five Little Peppers” series when they were children will be escorting their grandchildren to see those young - Peppers on the screen.

The following should not be moved: Celosia, didiscus (blue lace flower), four o’clock, hunne- mania, and perennial sweet pea. Because of their peculiar root growth, these flowers are dam­ aged, sometimes even killed, when transplanted. Flowers which may be trans­ planted with little fear of damage, as long as the moving is done properly, include ageratum, alys- sum, snapdragon, aster, calendu­ la, marigold, pansy, petunia, pinks, salvia, scabiosa, verbena, Canterbury bells, columbine, hol­ lyhock, pyrethrum and viola. There is a third division of flow­ ers, according to Harry A. Joy, flower expert, whose lives will not be endangered by transplanting, but whose growth will be stunted.

The whole story is one of softly styled suits, dresses and coats that are garnished with brain­ storming accessories and breath­ taking color schemes all of which bespeak womanly wiles and witch­ ery. It matters not how fundamentally simple and demure your costume starts out to be, by the time it has been, accessoried in accord with fashion’s idea of things for spring, it will have become a masterpiece of sophistication. 1 And so, in the forthcoming Easter fashion parade, eyes will shine from behind romantic veils as gaily colorful as blossoms in springtime, gloves will be worn that look as if they may have been dipped in Eas­ ter egg dyes, hats will be as sweet­ ly feminine as !lowers and wing trimmings and ribbons can make them. However, for news that is biggest news there’s nothing quite so exciting as the irresistibly love­ ly lingerie touches of frothy frills and dainty lingerie neckwear fan­ tasies that give a freshness ■ to spring outfits. When it comes to the costume- ideal to wear on a gladsome Easter day choose a suit. Style-Ieaders have already declared this to be a suit season. This year suit enthu­ siasm reaches a new high, especial­ ly so because the woolens that fash­ ion them are beyond a doubt the handsomest that ere glorified the fabric realm. It would be be­ yond human imagination to con­ ceive of weaves more eye-ap­ pealing than the gorgeous plaids and stripes .that go to make up the jaunty jackets that partner with pleated or gored swing suits registering as “little girl" fashions for grown-ups on the new style program. And tweeds! We have gone so completely Eng­ lish on the subject of tweeds. .There are suits and ensembles and gowns galore to choose from made of the daintiest most fetching woolens that ever you saw. So, if your fancy turn to other than tweed why not a superbly tai­ lored pencil-striped lightweight wool crepe suit such as centers the group pictured? To the right in the picture, see what white violets and frothy white organdie do in the way of toning a sheer black wool dress up tb a fascinating degree of femininie al­ lure. The draped cowl of embroid­ ered organdie with val edging as here worn is real news as to what’s doing in the neckwear realm this spring. Top this costume with a white violet crowned hat, add a violet corsage and you couldn’t look sweeter on a bright Easter mom. To the left is a charming suit in navy serge with collar and cuffs of pique. With a greater than ever suit sea­ son heralded for spring one can’t possibly have too many blouses, and the big news in the blouse realm is the revival of the sheer handmade “baby blouse" exquisite­ ly tucked and frilled, hand-embroid­ ered and lace trimmed. See the picture of one of the newest lingerie blouses inset in the group below. It is of self-printed organdy. Note the new fluted collar with its tiny narrow lace-trimmed edge to add to its sheer daintiness. & W estern N ew spaper Union. S t y l e I n t r i g u em I Jacket costumes are having their . big moment this spring. According to reports more jacket suits are sell­ ing than any other type. The jacket suit presents a particularly interest­ ing theme in that it invites not only intriguing color schemes but also it affords opportunity for contrasting materials, features which designers are playing up most dramatically. The clever plaid jacket pictured has an individuality all its own in that the arrow-shaped contrast fastenings add an unusually interesting 'dec­ orative note. B a c k C o m e s S h e e r L i n g e r i e B l o u s e AU signs point to one of the big­ gest, best and most exciting blouse seasons that has ever gone on rec­ ord. Which of course is the same as telling you that suits are "tops" this’ spring and to meet the demands of a suit nothing less than a well- stocked wardrobe of blouses wiU suffice. The most important message about the exciting blouse furore that is. now going on is the revival of the exquisitely sheer lingerie type which is that naive and innocent and young looking it registers on the style pro­ gram under such endearing terms as baby blouse and it is just that—a confection of finest batiste or organ­ die all handworked with wee tucks, embroidery and lace edgings, just too lovely for words. For practical daytime wear you’ll be wanting several washable crepe blouses and the gypsy-stripe blouses are practical too and flamboyantly colorful tuning perfectly into fash ion’s mood this spring. G l o v e s A r e W o r n I n D a s h i n g S h a d e s Your gloves must tune to the color scheme of your costume. The shops are showing doveskin slipons, also fine fabrics in all the new tones, tints and hues. Fuchsia shades lead and violene is also popular. Very smart are the new pink tones as well as a range of blues. Seasonal Shades Greens and browns will be lead­ ing shades for sports clothes.

PETEB INTERPRETS CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS AND DEATH LESSON T E X T -I P eter 1:17-23; 2:20-25.GOLDEN' TEXT—For C hnst also hatb once suffered for sins, the Just for the un­ just, that he m ight bring us to God, being p ut to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.—I P eter 3:18. A witness is one who knows by personal experience about that con­ cerning which he testifies. Certain­ ly no one could speak with more pro­ priety or assurance concerning the sufferings and death of Christ than Peter. As one of the inner circle, he, with James and John, was with Jesus on almost every important occasion. He was on the Mount of Transfiguration, and with the Lord in the garden of Gethsemane. He witnessed His trial and in all prob­ ability His crucifixion, He was first at the empty tomb. Furthermore, he could speak as one who had in a moment of weakness denied the Lord and who had come by way of doubt and despair back to his faith in the Saviour. It is not only ap­ propriate that we should study Pe­ ter’s words on this subject but it is also the greatest possible theme with which to close our three-month study of the life and work of Peter. For all that he was and all that he did, can be explained only by his faith in a redeeming Christ. I. Christ—the Saviour (I Pet. 1:17- 23). It is highly important that we meet the flood of smoothly phrased recognition of our Christ as the Mas­ ter which at the same time denies Him as dying Redeemer. Hence we stress 1. A redemption by blood (w . 17- 20). This is a subject that all those who know God and “call on him as Father” (v. 17) approacbgn that reverential attitude which call the “fear of God,” which is-not a cringing fear but a loving reverence. In that spirit we should proclaim that apart from the shedding of Christ’s blood there can be no re­ mission of sin. Money and other material things can only purchase other material and corruptible things. Our redemption could be bought only by the precious blood of the sinless, divine, and eternal Son of God, Jesus Christ (w . 19, 20). 2. A life of faith (w . 21-23). The faith and hope of the Christian are “in God.” We do not trust in the arm of flesh. Our assurance is not In man or his devices. The gather­ ing of riches, the increase of arma­ ments, the acquisition of new terri­ tory Iqr fair means or foul—let fool­ ish men who know not God rejoice In such assurances of safety, but our faith is in God. . This life of faith is not an inactive thing, a settling back into a com­ fortable but effortless appreciation of God’s great gift. It leads to obe­ dience to the truth;--fervent, un­ feigned love of the brethren; purity of life (v. 22). Being bom again means living in newness of life in Christ. n . Christ—the Example (I P et 2:20-25). Christ is not our example In the sense that we are to attain to eter­ nal life and joy by an imitation of His life. That would be manifestly impossible, for we would have to be­ gin where He began—He’ was with­ out sin. But we “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” We need a Saviour, not an example, as far as redemption is concerned.- Having been saved by faith in His blood, we are ready to look upon Him as our example. 1. Our suffering (w . 20, 21). One of the serious problems qf life is suf­ fering, and as we suggested last week, being a Christian does not grant us any immunity. If we suf­ fer because of our own sin, we must expect to bear the result pa­ tiently; but even above that, when we find ourselves suffering for well­ doing, we are to glorify God by bearing. it patiently for Christ’s sake: Nothing -is a stronger testi­ mony for Christ than a true Chris­ tian spirit in time of trial and sor­ row. 2. The suffering of Christ (w . 21- 25). Our minds turn to Isaiah 53 and PsaIm 22, as well as to the Gospel narratives, as we think of our Lord’s suffering. As we read the words, “Christ . . . suffered for you,”'we join the saintly expositor of the Word who fell uppn his face sob­ bing, “For me, for me, He bore it all for me.” How can anyone re­ ject Him? How can you, unsaved reader of these lines, any longer turn this loving Saviour away? WHAT to EAT and WHY «■ C. Houston Goudiss Reveals Several Reasons Why Food Sometimes Disagrees; Warns Against Eating When Tired or Worried B y C. HOUSTON GOUDISS AGREAT many people, have the unfortunate habit of warning friends and acquaintances against this or that food, on the ground that it is “difficult to digest,” or “is almost sure to cause digestive distress, especially if eaten at the wrong time of day or in combination with the wrong foods.” Indeed, to hear some men and women recount the various dishes that are bests- left alone, is to wonder how they manage to find anything to eat at all, in view of the many good foods they con­ sider taboo! Certainly there is no objection to food as the topic of conversation. It is so basic to good health that- it should be upper­ most in the mind of every individual who desires to pro­ mote physical and mental efficiency. And it is also nat­ ural for a person to be guided by past experience in de­ termining what’ he should eat, and what it may be advisable for him to avoid. But it is a grave mistake for one person to warn another against any food or combination of foods on the ground that it will cause digestive distress. For the truth of the matter is that under proper conditions, a normal, healthy person should have no dif­ ficulty in digesting almost any food that has a place in the well- balanced diet. Food Dislikes Often Unfounded I once m et a woman who told me that her contented-looking hus­ band could, and did, eat most ev­ erything ’cept horseshoes. Menu planning was simple for her! And how different from the problems of the home-maker who must try to reconcile her menus, both with the food dislikes of various mem­ bers of the family, and with the foods that they declare they can’t eat, for fear of digestive distress. It is true, of course, that indi­ viduals differ greatly, and occa­ sionally a food that can and should be eaten regularly by most peo­ ple, will cause distress in an in­ dividual case. But that is no in­ dication that the food wfil have the same effect on another per­ son, and it is misleading either to proffer or accept advice of this na­ ture fromfriends. It may be that the victim has an allergy to the food- in question —that he reacts to it differently than the majority of people. But there is also the possibility that the prejudice exists because of some previous distress, caused, not by the food itself, but by the circumstances under which it was eaten. . Perhaps a clearer, understand­ ing of some of the mental and physiological factors influencing digestion would dispel many of the bugaboos that cause people to avoid various, wholesome foods and food combinations, and to warn others against them. Emotions Influence Digestion Scientists have established that the stomach is capable of reacting to almost every emotion and sen­ sation that is experienced by men and women. Thus, how you eat becomes quite as important a s what you eat. And any food or combination of foods consumed when you are tired, worried or angry, may cause acute distress, whereas the same food, when eat­ en at another time, may be di­ gested without the slightest dis­ turbance. This indicates the folly of jump­ ing to the conclusion that you can’t eat this or that, and shows that one is scarcely justified in warning friends or relatives to avoid certain articles of diet. There is a large amount of evi­ dence that fear, anger or anxiety have the effect of diminishing the gastric secretions, and further, of arresting or slowing down the movement of the intestines. If food is eaten under these con­ ditions, it may remain stagnant in-the alimentary canal, with the subsequent formation of gases and decomposition products. Hut in­ stead of recognizing the true cause of the trouble, many people erro­ neously blame the food itself! Medical men have frequently noticed that people often develop gastric disturbances when they suffer financial reverses, and con­ tinue to suffer from them until their financial condition improves —a striking demonstration of the importance of banishing fear and worry! Never Eal When Tired ~ Almost any food may cause dis­ tress when one is suffering from fatigue. So it is unwise to sit down to a large meal when exhausted from, too much physical or mental work. A brief rest before eating will put the body in much better shape to receive and assimilate the food. Then, if the meal is served In pleasant surroundings, and if th* food is flavorful and well cooked, the chances are that it will be di­ gested satisfactorily by all norma] individuals. Be Tranquil at Mealtimes In view of the fact that tran­ quillity of mind is essential to the proper utilization of food, home­ makers should remember never to discuss unpleasant subjects at meal times. Don’t nag foe chil­ dren about eating, or choose that time to discuss their lapses from discipline. Don’t talk about finances or take up real or fancied grievances with your husband. Let such matters wait until the meal has been digested. H these suggestions were more generally followed, it. is .almost certain that we would hear much less conversation about foods that cause distress, much more whole­ some talk about foe pleasures of the table. €►—WNU—C. Houston Goudiss—1939—54. AROUND •h. HOUSE I te m s o f I n te r e s t t h e H o u s e w ife Conversation Made Easy.—Keep the center of the room free from furniture.

S W estern N ew spaper Union. ‘S'--ail Republicans Gains. Republican leaders hailed their carty’s increased strength on. March 4. ’as an indication of the vigor ar.d endurance of democracy and of the A fric a n people's determination to raaiptain the form nf government they have had- for 150 years. Sp.eaking on a broadcast program comineifioratinK the serquicentennial anniversary of the first Congress, Senator .McNary, of Oregon, and Re­ presentative Martin of Massachu- »rttfc£,the:senate and house, minority eadera.-Haid the economic distress of the-last'few years had led Congress to surrender some of its independ­ ence and vote great discretionary powers to the Chief Executive. Bot the American people heeded in last fall’s election, UcNary said, admonitions against turning power over to one man and “undertook to rcTdress the balance of authority in the national government. ’’They did by greatly reducing the swollen power of one party in Con­ gress. Thus on the birthday of Con­ gress we find that body reverting to its traditional independence. We find again general acceptance of the principle on which our government is built, namely, that, ‘deliberative forces should prevail over the ar bitrery.’ ” Martin said the people always had taken a hand when Congress "has surrendered its rights and independ­ ence.’’ "With the restoration of Congress and our government to a constitu­ tional basis, I venture the prediction that it will not • be long before A- merica goes forward again to a bet­ ter and higher standard of iiving and to a happiness and contentment greater than any we have previous­ ly .enjoyed.” Still He Lurches For­ ward, The National Republicanshad high hopes of developing Thomas Dewey into presidential condidate for 1940 until the elections last Fall when; he failed in his first major preliminary, and was defeated for the Governor­ ship of New yerk by the incumbent.

The Record, is of the opinion that the automobile accident bill which seeks to provide funds for taking care of hospital bills of highway accident victims could be passed at this session of the Gen- Assembly. if people understood thoughly the measure and what it would provide in the way of relief from present cquditions. Practicalls every student of the highway accident sftnation in tlifs state realizes that some measure ‘Of protection should be afforded the innocent victitbs of automobile ac­ cidents. The Record favors a law compelling all the automobile own­ ers to carry public liability insur ance—but, pending that happy day, we certainly favor the step in that direction which could be taken by setting up the proposed North Carolina Highway Acc:dent Hos­ pitalization fund, and proviced for under the terms of a measure now pending, known as Senate Bill 185 As most readers of this newspa­ per know, this measure calls for an addition of only fifty cents to the annual license tag or auto plate fee to bnild up an accident. Undertbe provisions of the proposed lav, every rrsident of the state who is injured in an automobile accident would receive a maximum of $63 out of this fund ($3 per day for 21 days.) Any and all accidents, but foT each he would receive hospita­ lization payment. The Record suggests that our conntvcotnmissioneraiand-welfare- superintendents might welt intsr est themselves in seeing tilt tiik bill gets a favorable report following the public hearing set for week (March 16). Many of the victims of the high­ way accidents requiring hospit alization have to be accepted as cearity cases, and the publid musi shoulder the burden. In many other cases the hospitals are made the “ goats"'—whereas, if the pend­ ing measure were enacted, there would be funds not only to pay for these charily cases, but also others, although financially able, would be given help in defraying their ex penses. Tbe fact that at present almost fifty- five per cent of all automobile wreck victims are nnable to pay for their .hospital treatment ought to make everyone eager to provide the accidents fund which a fifty' cent addition to our auto plate fees would guarantee. This is a simple, easy way to do something - towards correcting a very bad sitm t'on. Reprinted by permission from the Hickory Daily -Record of March 11 Or Or And? When the President suddenly and surprisingly, .sent his request to Congress rather in a spirit of dem­ and the $150,000,000 be added to the relief appropriation for the fisc­ al year, the-economr-minded mem­ bers of Congress were not long nor timid in striking back. They didn’t like it at all. And; >ne of them, Representative Cox, of Georgia, who has develop ed the habit-ot speaking out in meeting during prayers, arose to propose that Congress start an in vestigation into this whole business of relief. Congressman Cox is not sure, he mentioned in his remarks anent the motion, whether the WPA is “fish or fowl, sane or insane, good or bai Swelled By SwilL In its desperate search for reve­ nue to carry on the services of the state government, the House of the Legislature has decided that i t would be all right to invite the slot machines back into operation, to tax them and to get thereftom a considerable handful of ir.come. This means, of course, that the State of North Carolina will license these infernal machines in order financially to grease its fingers.' The notion of the Observer is that this is hard-won and ill-gotten gain. If it has come to the point in North Carolina where it is neces­ sary to legalize gambling devices that will rob the school children of their lunch money in order to in­ crease revenues for public services, it is time we were doing W ithout Some of These .Public Services.

Strinpimr of the so called “fair price” bill of its verbal and political trappings has at least progressed to the point of abandonment of .the mo­ tive to which the legislation was at first ascribed. As the basis of such enlightenment we offer the following paragraph from IfierDidIy News Raieigh bur­ eau’s account of Tuesday’s legisla­ tive happenings at the capital., the particular reference having to do with committee hearings: A. H. (Sandy) Graham, of Hills­ boro, former lieutenant governor, said the measure was not aimed' at chain stores, and - asserted that the heads of three, large chain stores had told him .they would not op­ pose the bill Of course the bill is not aimed at chain stores. In its plain and practic­ al application it is aimed at [the consumers and, as the Daily Newa has previously asserted, it should be catalogued as an act to hoist prices. Why ahnulda’t the chain stores ap­ prove it? They will get their same discounts for cash cash and quan­ tity buying and. prevented by law from passing these concessions on to their customers, will have that much more profit for their own keeping. If that direct effect , or imposition is not enough, in.and of itself, there is the patent demonstrationof price- fixing with a vengeance, a baby blow for that rivalry which sustains bus* iness ane consumers alike, an in* comprehensible strategy of streng­ thening competition by preventing if.—Greensboro News.

( Safety Talks ) How About Your Safety? TF YOU know all the rules about wearing rubbers when it rains, red flannel undies in the winter, and if you don’t sleep in a draft, you probably take pretty good care of your health. But how abcut your safety? The National Safety council re­ ports that from the age of three years to 21, accidents kill more persons (both sexes) than any dis­ ease; from the age of three years to 40, accidents kill more males than any disease. Among males of all ages only heart disease claims more vic­ tims than accidents—301.6 of ev­ ery 100,000 males die of heart dis­ ease each year while accidents kill 119.6. Among the ladies, six diseases rank above accidents as • a cause of fatalities. They are heart disease, cancer, cerebral hemorrhage, pneumonia and chronic nephritis.

In the lower hall the sole remaining light was that which burned all night in a single amber-tinted bulb. Approaching the staircase he real­ ized that the upper hall was simi­ larly dim. The members of the fam­ ily were all in bed, or at least were shut away in their rooms. Joan and Bert must have- returned long ago. His foot was on the lowest step when the telephone bell in the hall closet rang insistently. Its shrill­ ness was stifled by the closet’s closed door. He doubted if Banks or anyone else would hear it. He went to the closet, closing the door behind him in an instinctive consid­ eration for the sleeping household. The voice of an operator came to him. “New York wants Mr. Hale,” it said. “Hale is speaking.” “All right, Mr. Hale. Please hold the line.” During the instant that he waited Hale glanced at his wrist watch. Twenty minutes to one. He could not imagine who had called him up at that hour, unless it was Knee- land. What could Kneeland want, unless there had been some acci­ dent But the voice he heard next was not Kneeland’s. It was a man’s voice, anxious, yet apologetic. “Mr. Hale,” it said, “this is Kauf­ man. I’m sorry to disturb you at this hour. But did you get the tele­ gram I sent you today?” For an instant Hale could not re­ member who Kaufinan was. His thoughts had been far removed from anyone named Kaufman. His mind busy with that problem he answered automatically, “No, I haven’t re­ ceived any telegram.” The voice became more urgent, less apologetic. It said: “That’s what I was afraid of. Pve been pretty busy ever since I sent the telegram this noon. But after I got to bed I remembered that you told me you were several miles from a telegraph office. You said mes­ sages weren’t always delivered promptly, or even telephoned. When I began to think that over, I de­ cided to call you up.” “Yes?” Hale’s scalp was prick­ ling. He had remembered now who Kaufman was. “What was in that telegram?” he jerked out. “I told you in it that the analysis of the milk you sent me showed a small quantity of bichloride of mer­ cury. It wasn’t much. It wasn’t anywhere near a killing dose. But, you see, I remembered that water you sent me for analysis. That was pretty serious and—” "Never mind the water," Hale in­ terrupted. “Tell me about the milk. Bichloride of mercury is a deadly poison, isn’t it?” He did not recog­ nize his own. voice. “Yes, it is. That’s why I tele­ graphed. It was a small quantify, but it has no place in .milk. After that water analysis—” At an ex­ clamation from Hale the voice went on hurriedly, “Well, it’s the sort of thing that suggests to a suspicious' mind like mine—taken in connection with the water analysis—that some­ one who doesn’t like you is giving you- very small doses of poison. They’re so small they may not show any serious effects for some time. You looked pretfy husky the day I saw you. Still, if they’re kept up long enough—” "They’ll kill in the end? I see.” "There’s no immediate- danger,” the voice went on, “unless the doses are increased. But I telegraphed you at once. Then when I thought it over I got fussy.” "Thank God you did. Thank you, too, Kaufman. I won’t forget it. Is there anything else you ought to tell me about it?” "Only to lay off milk for a while, and keep both eyes open.” Kauf­ man’s voice was now quite cheer­ ful. Having done his duty as he saw it he was ready to drop the matter and get back to bed. “Wait a minute. There’s one thing more on my mind.” Hale asked his next question in a voice that was not quite steady. “You say there was only a little poison in that milk. How many such doses could a per­ son take before—” "Before it killed? Oh, quite a lot. If I’m right in my guess, the plan was to give it in such small doses, over a long period, as to cause a very gradual failing in the patient; something that would look like what used to be called ‘a slow decline.’ The effects vary in different pa­ tients, but they’re the same as those of any slow poison—gastric disturb­ ance, indigestion, lassitude, that sort of thing. The special effect is on the kidneys. It might go on for weeks or even months before an acute marasmus developed. The plan in such cases is to have the patient die a seemingly natural death by gradual stages. Have you had many doses?” “No. Thanks again, Kaufman. Good-night.” Hale hung up the receiver. He seemed to be in a dream—a night­ mare. The whole situation had un­ folded before him and he was numbed by it. He put it to him­ self in unconsciously melodramatic terms; “My God, there’s a killer among us!” The words echoed in his brain like a refrain; while his hurrying feet carried him to Joan’s door. He remembered the strange visitor to that room—the visitor who had seemed a nightmare. He re­ membered Joan’s symptoms, the seen Joan sit up in bed as she her­ self leaned over the small table at the head of that bed. She had ex­ pected recognition, discovery. Then, as now, her distorted face must have shown not so much fear as frenzy, even fury, at the interrup­ tion. She tried to push past Hale, but he held her firmly. “What have you got in your hand?” he asked in a low voice. It was something she was trying to conceal by twisting her right arm out of his grasp and hiding her right hand behind her back. Tak­ ing a stronger grip on her left arm he seized that struggling left hand and wrenched from it the bottle it held. A glance at the label was Looking back at her, trying to grasp the incredible fact that it was really Miss Hosanna who sat oppo­ site him, Miss Hosanna from whom he had taken that bottle, Hale told himself the tableau was grotesque. Miss Hosanna’s plump form was encased in a dark dressing-gown, shapeless and rather heavy for so warm a night. On her head was a gray net, evidently designed to keep in position a ring of curling pins in her hair. Her face shone with the remains of a coating of retiring cream, which had not been wholly wiped off. The purplish color that had suffused it during her brief struggle had faded almost to its nor­ mal hue. She would have looked as harmless as the oink sofa cush- “Isn’t it a far stranger thing that you are doing, Miss Hosanna?” asked Hale. doctor’s uneasiness. He remem­ bered everything . . . He did not know what he was to do when he reached her door. He stood before it, considering the ques­ tion. Wake her up and ask her if she was all right? Idiotic. He had no reason to believe she had drunk any milk that night. Indeed, now that he considered the matter, he had every reason to feel that she had not done so. His warning to her had been imperative, and she had promised to heed it. From to­ morrow she would be safe. He would take her to Doctor Crosby iearly in the morning. Both would have to know what he had learned. That much was certain. In the meantime, she was safe. Or was she? He could not leave the door. His feet would not carry him away. His brain would not direct him to move. He could not stir until he knew that all was well with her. How could he get that knowledge without disturbing her? His hand closed on the door-knob, turned it softly. He did not expect that the door would open. She had promised to lock it regularly, and the memory of that nightmare she had dwelt on would surely make her do so. But, incredibly, the door opened. He widened the opening slightly and noiselessly, and peered in, looking toward Joan’s bed. He gave no thought to the possibility of being discovered in such a, situa­ tion, but he did not cross the thresh­ old. Indeed, the narrow opening did not allow that. He would merely make sure that Joan was sleeping, and go back to his quarters with an easier mind. CHAPTER X The room was so dark that for a moment he could see nothing. Then, as his eyes became accustomed to the blackness, he saw the dim out­ lines of the two windows opposite him. He glanced toward the bed. It was occupied and he heard quiet breathing. It was not until then that he saw something else. Something very close to him, at his right, between him and the head of the bed. It turned with a low gasp, came to­ ward him with a little rush, wrenched the door-knob from his hand by a strong pull on the inside, and slid through the opening, clos­ ing the door behind it. It had moved with such rapidity that it struck against him as it came. He re­ coiled a step, then caught its arm and held it. For an instant it strug­ gled frantically but in silence. Then, under his unyielding grip, it col­ lapsed. In the hall’s dim light Hale stared down into the convulsed face of Miss Hosanna. He knew now what face Joan had seen in her nightmare—that face familiar, yet terrible, whose identify she would not confide to him. Then, as now, Miss Hosanna had been startled during her visit. She had enough.' He dropped the bottle into his pocket, kept his hold on her wrist, and drew Miss Hosanna along the hall toward his own quarters. When they had reached his room he stopped, opened the door, and mo­ tioned her to precede him. She held back. _ “What do you want?” The ques­ tion was almost inaudible. Shehad trouble in forming the words with her stiff lips; but her head was erect and her pale eyes burned into his. He answered under his breath. “A little talk with you, Miss Ho­ sanna. We can’t talk here in the hall, you know.” She hesitated another second, then crossed the threshold. When they were inside the room he closed and locked the door. He drew for­ ward a chair for her, and seated himself facing her. “Now,” he said very quietly, "we’ll get to the bottom of this. What does it mean?’,’ Miss Hosanna was already getting herself in hand. She straightened in her chair, and stared at him with icy resentment. ion to which her brother had com­ pared her, if it had not been for her burning eyes. Her manner had something of its usual dignify. He had always known that she had courage. Now she proved that, aside from her moment of panic, she also had self-control. She took the ag­ gressive at once. “This is a strange thing for you to do, Mr. Hale,” she said between straight lips. “Isn’t it a far stranger thing that you are doing, Miss Hosanna?” Hale asked the question very quietly, holding her eyes. He sat facing her like a gray rock, but he was inwardly shaken and appalled. Miss Hosannat Miss Hosannat “I suppose I was walking in my sleep.” Her head was erect now, her shoulders back. She radiated defiance. “I guess you’ve heard of sleep-walking before,” she ended. “I have. But I don’t remember hearing of anybody who went about poisoning others in their sleep.” (TO BE CONTINUED) M i l k C h u r n e d b y L u r c h i n g o f 'S h i p o f D e s e rt,* W a s E a r l y W a y o f M a k i n g B u t t e r Camels may be ugly and ill-tem­ pered, but those of us who like plen­ ty of butter on our bread owe them a debt of gratitude nonetheless, as­ serts Martha Harmon in the Phila­ delphia Record. Iifore than 20 centuries ago, men used goat and sheep milk butter. According to tradition, the Arabs njade the first butter accidentally aided by the aforesaid camels. Milk was carried in skin bags on jour­ neys across the desert and the jolt­ ing of the camels as they lurched along churned the liquid into a but­ tery mass. Not the sort of butter we are accustomed to use, we’ll admit, for it was fluid enough to be poured slowly from the skins. The people of India still make butter by shaking milk in bottles, producing a day’s supply at a time, because the poorer folk there have no means of keeping foods fresh in refrigerators or even in running streams of cold water, as do our campers. Just because Americans have a prejudice in favor of butter made from cow’s milk, with margarine or oleomargarine as substitute when the family purse grows lean, doesn’t imply that the rest of the world shares our taste. Even in this coun­ try there is considerable importa­ tion of goats’ milk butter for per­ sons of Greek or Italian origin, as well as others from the Mediterra­ nean regions. Olive oil is another favorite for a bread “spread” in lands where olives grow. Many vegetarians in­ sist on nut butters. Up in the /U1Ctic the Eskimos have a decided pen- chant for blubber as the family fat supply. Where butter is made in quan­ tify for commercial purposes, the separator has superseded the old method of allowing milk to stand in shallow pans in’ a cool place until the cream rises and then putting the latter into a hand churn to work and stir about in a modem version of the original camel method. They Have Teeth Pulled In Finland, and lik e Itl Ahl One spot under the sun where there is peace between the sexes. The men don’t beef when the ladies take their jobs. They don’t write to the newspapers. In fact, they rather like it. This strange state of affairs ex- ists in Finland and the profession the women have taken over is den­tistry.

But the girls don’t stop at den­ tistry in Finland. Most of the bank­ ing jobs are held by women. They are also stenographers and secre­ taries. And politics has attracted many women.

T I P S 10 L r a r d e n e r s Proper Watering JT1ACH year, more and more gar- a-1 deners are learning that gar­ dens should not be watered by sprinkling. Sprinkling usually moistens the surface soil only and thus the roots naturally come up there for water. When the root system is concentrated near the jurface there is more danger of injury by hoeing; and if sprinkling is not done constantly, plants will be quickly affected by drouth. Considered from the time angle, moreover, sprinkling is imprac­ tical. It can be safely done only in the evening, as water sprinkled on foliage under a hot sun may lead to damaging scalding. Evap­ oration is also much more rapid during the day. Even more im­ portant, there is a great waste of time in holding the hose and di­ recting the spray. The most efficient method of watering, according to Walter H. Nixon, vegetable expert, is to lay the hose on the ground. Do not have too heavy a flow of water, or there will be a washing of soil and exposure of roots. Let the water run slowly in one place for 20 minutes to half an hour. Keep the subsoil moist. 0 THE GOOD CITIZEN I jlH E first requ isite o f a good citl* zen in th is republic o f o urs is that b e he able an d w illing to p u ll Ius weight.**—Theodore Roosevelt • RAW THROAT if Yonr Sore, Senfolqr Throat Comes from a Cold—You Can I t * M I .

PARTON "NJ EW YORK.—Young Sherman M. *■ Fairchild inherited about $10,-000,000, and the money took wings—- not around the night spots, but in W • d„„> Tj- aviation enter- Hetr Pools Hut prises which money, Brains } have made him Aviation Profits one of the main panjandrums of the plane designing and building in­dustry. Just now, the Civil Aeronautics authority certifies Mt. Fairchild’s new 500-horsepower “in-line” en­ gine, which, he says, has more pow­ er for its weight than any other. For several years, Mr. Fairchild has been pioneering the “in-line” en­ gines as against the radial type of foreign nations. In 1936, he sold 20 of them to the Greek government, which, it was later reported, found them highly satisfactory. His en­ gine is about one-third the size of « radial engine. His father, the late George W. Fairchild, began his business career on $8 a week, invented the dial telephone, the comput­ ing scale, and the adding ma­ chine. He wanted his son to become a junior executive of International Business Machines corporation. The young man, however, was interested mainly in cameras. At 17, he had in­ vented a revolutionary flashlight camera, and, at 21, a radial aerial camera. He organized Fairchild Aeriai Surveys and in 1924 carried through an air camera survey of New York, with a six-mile camera of his inven­ tion which was a pioneering exploit in that field. By 1927, he had corraled several companies in the Fairchild Aviation corporation, had Igor Sigorsky build­ ing planes, and soon unveiled the first cabin monoplane in the United States. In Harvard at the start of the war, he was rejected for mili­ tary service because of physical shortcomings, later remedied in Arizona. Intent on war duty of some kind, he brought out an aerial camera for war use, completed just before the Armi­ stice. He is typical of a num­ ber of free and adventurous self­ starters in Uncle Sam’s industri­ al and technical establishment who can be rounded up in case of trouble—a refutation of the totalitarian belief that only the goose-step can yield efficiency. CEVERAL notable moving pic- tures of recent appearance have achieved portraits rather than cari­ catures. They also have shown a Renaissance Is and a new reli- Looming High once on coherent form in the pic­ ture as a whole. Chastened by hard times, the films are taking thought and adding cubits to their stature. This bystander hears much talk of a coming moving picture renais­ sance—not in any splendiferous out­ break, but in a new infusion of cre­ ative intelligence into the industry, and a longer tether for the same. In focus here is “Stagecoach," opening in New York with gen­ erous salutations by reviewers, who note that, with a no-star - cast, a natural-born horse opera has been conjured into an ex­ cellent film by the deft artistry of John Ford, director, and Dud­ ley Nichols, scenarist. They also scored, jointly, in “The Hurricane” and “The Inform­ er.” This film is commended for its further trend toward sim­ plicity and artistic integrity, and away from overemphasis, the traditional occupational disease of Hollywood—on or off the lot. Mr. Ford, born Sean O’Feama, in Portland, Maine, 44 years ago, thinks moving picture directors see too little of the world about them in proportion to what they record. Renoir had the same idea, insisting that, if an artist observed intently enough and long enough, his line would be almost self-recording. So Mr. Ford stokes his pipe, medi­ tates, observes, studies types, speech, dress, mannerisms, be­ havior, regional and occupational traits, and achieves characteriza­tion. His older brother, Francis, was ahead of him at Hollywood, as a serial star and director. John Ford tagged along and soon had his brother working for him. Before he was 25, he had directed niany westerns. When he was 28, he directed “The Iron Horse.” He is an autocrat on the lot, apt to throw the script away and improvise busi­ ness and lines, working usually in a frayed sports jacket and old dungarees. He sidesteps Hollywood parties and passes much of his off-shift time on his small yacht. He is big and bulky, with thinning, sandy hair and glasses. Cl Consolidated News Features.WNU Service, A STAR NO LONGER Two reasons were given why Mike Klotovich, backfield ace, quit school recently at St. Mary’s, depriving Coach Slip Madigan of one of his best men. Mike said he needed the money to support his parents. Uni­ versity officials stated that be suf­ fered from “academic apathy.” Here he is at work on a construction job in San Francisco. D i v o r c e e A s k s f o r ‘F r e e d o m o f D r e s s ’ The fondness of EUen Tilton Holmsen, society divorcee, for going about in woolen pajamas finaUy convinced police chiefs of three New Jersey towns that she should be “exported” because she attracted too much attention. She then wrote to Washington for a badge saying “Leave this girl alone, she’s aU right.” Mrs. Holmsen is pictured here with Holly- wood’s Peter the Hermit whom she visited shortly after her divorce In 1934. Young Theatrical Genius to Stage Girl Show Jimmy Griffin, six-year-old Brookline, Mass., theatrical genius, is having a difficult time getting these girls to do a dance the way he wants it done. Jimmy, though, is undaunted. He is the youngest possessor of an enter­ tainment license in BrookUne, and has had a successful solo act. He recently appUed for a renewal of his li­ cense and decided to add some girls to his cast. Here he is trying to teach them the routine he has devised.

This is quite effective with lace curtains and can be done on linen goods too. * * * A Place for the Mail.—There should be a definite place where mail is always put as soon as it arrives. Then each member of the family knows, immediately whether that important letter has arrived as soon as he enters the house and, incidentally, there is never any loss of mail. * • • Washing Delicate Things.—If you are washing small articles, or thin baby dresses or other deli­ cate things, put them into a pillow­ case or sack and- tie it with tape, then place it in the washer.• » • Clean Vacuum Bag.—No more than a pint of dirt should be al­ lowed to accumulate in the bag of a vacuum cleaner.« • • Candlelight Time. — Decorators tell us never to use candlesticks for decoratives without candles in them, and never to use candle­ light before sundown without the shades being drawn.• * • Suds for Silks.—What causes gray specks on freshly washed silks and rayons?

Certainly he liked the idea of taking that woman, to be his law ful wedded wife. Oddly enough, th ere's a strong resemblance be­ tw een the new Mrs. Markey and the Hr'* one, Joan Bennett, as Joan ap­ pears in her brunette wig in "Trade W inds.” And there’ll probably be a resem b lan ce in the setting of “Trade W inds" and the next picture • in which H e d y LaMarr stars—“Lady of the T ro p ic s ," in which Robert Taylor will b e her leading man. This business of tracing resem­ blances can go on and on forever. Old timers can try to find one be­ tween the glamorous Hedy and that HEDX LA SIARR glamour girl of an earlier day, Bar­ bara LaMarr (surely there couldn’t have been a thought of Barbara in the mind of the person who suggest­ ed “LaMarr” when the lovely Vien­ nese Mrs. Markey was choosing a name for her American career!). Believe it or not, Merle Oberon had her face washed with kerosene the other day. The same thing hap­ pened to Laurence Oliver and David Niven, and all in the cause of art. Not that the makeup man had. anything against them. Kerosene, when mixed with paraffin and heat­ ed slightly, provides a quick-drying spray which dries white, so that he who gets sprayed looks as if frost had appeared on hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. With the cops and robbers cycle waning, motion picture producers are certainly taking to playing cow- aoys and Indians in a great big way. Paramount has three- big westerns scheduled for this spring and sum­ mer—'“Geronimo,” “Buffalo Bill” and “The Lives of a Texas Ranger,” a sequel to “Texas Ranger.” There’s going to be a premium on Indians in the Hollywood studios, first thing anybody knows. Muriel Wilson, formerly known as “Mary Lou” on radio’s “Showboat” program, recently received a gift that moved her to tears. It is a crocheted tablecloth depicting a scene from “Showboat,” and was designed and made by a blind woman. ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS By E lm o S co tt W atso n There’s a man in California who, if he could be granted the wish near­ est his heart, would ask that Cecil B. DeMille decide to broadcast a play with a good wind storm in it. The man is Charlie Forsyth, sound effects expert who officiates on Mr. DeMille’s Radio Theater, and he has two dozen new wind records that he wants to use. During the recent California windstorms he worked all night making records of the wind, whistling through cracks in his garage and through the shrubbery around his house. They are the first authentic wind records Forsyth has been able to make, and he won’t be happy until he" uses them. Lanny Ross celebrated his tenth anniversary on Hie air by giving a luncheon to which he invited all the ather men who have been on the air [or ten years or more and suggest­ ing that they form a clnb. Every­ body was delighted with the idea, but since then Lanny has sometimes wished that he’d never thought up the plan. He has been deluged with letters of protest from women all over the country and the only way out was to form an auxiliary. Five years ago Shirley Ross made her screen debut as a bit player in a picture starring Lee Tracy, imagine what a thrill it was for her when she was engaged to appear as his leading lady on a Silver Theater broadcast. ■ ODDS AND ENDS-After his Thurs- evening broadcasts Felix Knight toakcs c bee line for an Armenian rw* Mkrant and a plate of shish-hebab . « • At rehearsals Kate Smith disrupts the inen in the band by feeding them ham• ,rgcrs . . . fie sure to see uStagecoacICt ^ttvill probably prove to be one of the fen oest pictures released this year, ©.Western Newspaper Unlm*- a H v eI lsI Their MemorialA ^ AY, ,bJu* m 1739 Pierre and Canadian traders, 3 2 2 ?

There the party split up. Three of the men, who were home- Sickt started overland for Canada and eventually reached Montreal safely. The Mallets, accompanied by two others, went down the Arkansas and the Mississippi to New Orleans, where they reported their explora­ tions to Bienville, the governor, whose efforts to. find a route to San­ ta Ee had. been unsuccessful. He 1 engaged them to guide another ex­ pedition led by Andre de la Bruyere, a royal officer, who was to ascend the Mississippi and Arkansas to the mouth of the Canadian, which the Mallets correctly ‘guessed arose less than 40 leagues from Santa Fe.” When the Canadian dwindled away to a mere brook in central Oklahoma, Bruyere sat down to wait for it to rise, instead of buying horses from the Osages to transport his goods, as the Mallets advised him to do. But it was a dry year and, after w.aitingNsix months, Bruy­ ere went back to N^w Orleans. The Mallets returned to Canada, where" they disappeared from history, blit today the Canadian river is a 760- mile-long memorial to the two brothers “whose wanderings rank them on a par with La Salle.” • * * Klondike Kate U ER neighbors in Bend, Ore., 11 know her as Mrs. John Matson, or “Aunt Kate” Matson, but to old -sourdoughs, who mushed over Alas­ kan trails during the gold rush days of ’98, she always has been and still is “Klondike Kate.” The daughter of a Seattle judge, Kate Betts spent most of, her. early life in a convent. Then a reverse in the Betts family fortune took her from behind its walls and started her on her career of adventure. She was in Seattle when the stam­ pede to Alaska started. She joined the gold rush and finally found her­ self in rip-roaring Dawson City. There she became the belle of the bars and a favorite of the bearded prospectors who came to town eager to spend money after their struggles to gain a fortune from the frozen soil. They showered their nuggets upon “Klondike Kate”—she often made as much as $150 a night by singing and dancing for them. Once a miner gave her $750 in “dust” simply for the privilege of sitting and talking to her. But like many others, she brought little of her money back to the States with her when the boom days were over. - Finally in 1933 she re­ ceived a letter from 70-year-old John Matson, who had known her in the DaWson City days and who wanted to marry her. The marriage took place, in Vancouver, B. C. Then she settled down in the Uttle Oregon city, no longer the fa­ mous “Klondike Kate,” the toast of Alaskan' gold camps, but “Aunt Kate” to the home-folks.... First Into Antarctic THEY tell tall tales of explora­ tions in; the Antarctic. None of them can compare, though, with the trip of Nathianial B. Palmer if sheer adventure is the standard. Away back in 1820 he was the first voyag­ er to reach the northern fringe of the Antarctic continent. A tall, blonde, Connecticut Yan­ kee, Nat Palmer was stiU only in his teens when he made the voy­ age as skipper of the sloop Hero. The ship which penetrated farther south than any other up until ‘hat « m . was only 50 feet long—half the size of the saUboat “America, orig­ inal winner of the first America’s Cup race in 1851. The voyage is more remarkable, too, when you consider that it was made almost 100 years before the poles were finaUy reached. Palmer himself has said, ‘I point­ ed the bow of the little craft to the south’ard and, with her wings sDread, mainsail abeam, jib abreast the opposite bow, she speeded on her way to new sealing ground like a tiling of light . . • With her flowing sheet she Seemed to enter into HJe spirit which possessed my ambi­ tion, flew along the wave and over bffloW until She brouSht uL 81Sht 01land not laid down on my ch art. . . i Thus this lad discovered Palmer • land, archipelago of the Antarctic continent, and proved by his de- ; scription that |ie was as Uterary as ; he was. adventurous.

WHAT to EAT and WHY SADL BECOMES A NEW MAN LESSON TEXT—Acts 9:1-12. 17-1».GOLDEN TE X T -T herefore If any m an be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are becom e new.—U Corinthians 5:17. The conversion of Saul is admit­ tedly one of the outstanding events in Bible history. When two bril­ liant English lawyers, Lord Lyttle- ton and Sir Gilbert West, set out to disprove the truth of Christianity, they selected the ressurretion of Christ and the story of Paul’s con­ version as the focal points of their proof. Working independently, they then came togetller to compare notes and found that they had both become Christians since they had become convinced of the truth of the Scriptures. The two events may well stand together as evidence for Christian­ ity, for only on the ground of regen­ eration can the change in Saul be accounted for, and only on the as­ surance that he met the risen Christ on the Damascus Road can we ac­ count for his conversion. This is a great lesson, let us make the very most of it. I. A Bold Persecutor (w . I, 2). As our lesson opens we find the brilliant and zealous young Jew, Saul, “yet breathing out threaten- ings and slaughter against the dis­ ciples of the Lord.” The persecu­ tions in Jerusalem had practically wiped out the church in that city but had scattered the disciples abroad, and thus the witness had been spread. The death of the god­ ly Stephen, to which Saul had given his approval, had only increased his determination to destroy those who were “of the way” of Jesus. Look­ ing for new lfclds to conquer, he carries with him to Iiamascus let­ ters from the high priest at Jeru­ salem, giving him authority to im­ prison the followers of Christ. But on the ’way he meets Christ Him­ self, and is stricken to the earth. n . A Convicted Sinner (w . 3-9). Stricken down by a brilliant heav­ enly light, he finds himself talking to the Lord Jesus. He hears from His holy lips the solemn indictment of those who persecute God’s peo­ ple—“Why persecutest thou me?” He who lays unkind hands, or untrue accusation upon God’s children had best beware, for so closely is our Lord identified with His people that when they suffer, it is He who bears the hurt. In a single sentence the Lord dis­ poses of the persecuting zeal and the sinful skepticism of this proud young Pharisee, and Saul enters into Damascus not as the haughty persecutor, but as a man trembling and astonished at his own sin. He spends three days shut in with his own soul and God, not seeing, not caring to eat, losing all conscious­ ness of earth, but entering into com­ munion with God. By God’s grace the old life is pulled up by the roots as it is displaced by the new life in Christ Jesus. III. An Obedient Disciple (vv. 10- 12).Ananias was the “I am here, Lord” type of Christian to whom the Lord can confidently commit His important business. AU we Irnow of him is what is contained in this chapter, but it is a very beautiful and enviable record. God is able to work directly on any hu­ man soul and accomplish His end (as He did with Saul on the Damas­ cus Road), but His usual manner of working is through faithful human agencies. One wonders how much would be accomplished for God if every Christian were as willing and ready as was Ananias to do the Lord’s bidding In seeking out and helping a struggling soul. The greatest of aU Christian leaders, the apostle Paul, was led out into his life of loyalty and service to Christ by a humble layman. Repeatedly God’s Word by precept and exam­ ple stresses the vital importance of personal, work on the part of. lay­ men and women. The leaders of Christian work during the coming generation are now in the Sunday School classes of our churches, per­ haps in a Uttle wayside chapel in the country, in the viUage church, in the mission or settlement house, or in the great city church. IV. A Converted Brother (w . 17- 19). The fears of Ananias that Saul might stiU be a worker of evU (v. 13) are soon overcome by God’s assurance that in the praying Saul He had prepared for Himself “a chosen vessel” (v. 15) to bear the gospel to the Gentiles and to kings, as weU as to IsraeL It is interesting to observe that Saul knew nothing of that subtle hypocrisy known as being “a secret beUever,” for at once he made open confession of his faith in baptism, and “straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues that he is the Son of God” (v. 20). C. Houston Goudiss Shows How the Right Foods Can Help to Guard Against Springtime Debility By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS THE gap between winter and spring has always been rec­ ognized as a trying period. Work seems a burden, tem­ pers are short, appetites are poor, and little enjoyment is derived from meals. Just as the daily tide of human vitality is at a low ebb during the hours before dawn, so does the annual tide of health reach a low ebb in the weeks that mark the end of winter and the official be- & ginning of spring. Bodily reserves have been gradually depleted until many children and adults suffer from lassitude and fatigue that cannot be dispelled mere­ ly by getting a good night’s sleep. Secret Prayer Life It is possible for a Christian to accompUsh more for the Kingdom of Christ by a faithful secret prayer life than by the most pubUc active life without it.—John R. Mott. The Best Spring Tonic A generation ago it was be­ lieved that sulphur and molasses, and sassafras tea would overcome springtime debili­ ty. Homemakers dosed their fami- Ues with a variety of so-called tonics, in a frantic effort to put color into E' Paie cheeks, to soothe irritaD ie nerves, to over- ■ k . CfW come that tired feeling. We know today why their efforts met with little success. For we have learned what they could not know—that the best possible tonie is a carefully chosen diet rich in minerals and vitamins. In those days, the science of nutrition was in its infancy. Vita- mins;were still undiscovered, and there was much that we had not learned about the role of the min­ eral salts In regulating body proc­ esses. No wonder mothers grasped at any mixture that promised to put roses back into the cheeks of their anemic-looking children. How lucky we are today! For science has taught us what we should eat to help increase pep and vitafity, and build rich red blood. And modern methods of transportation, refrigeration, food preservation and packaging, have made the necessary foods easily available. It merely remains for the homemaker to acquaint her­ self with the nutritional needs of her family. Enriching the Blood The blood is frequently impov­ erished by the time spring puts in an appearance. That is not sur­ prising, for in many households the winter diet contains a prepon­ derance of carbohydrates and fats, with far too few of the pre­ cious minerals and vitamins.’ It is often deficient in iron, the min­ eral that is required for the for­ mation of the hemoglobin or red pigment'in the blood, and in cop­ per, which is required for the proper utilization of iron. Inasmuch as 3 per cent of the blood cells are destroyed daily, it is obvious that unless adequate amounts of iron-rich foods are available to replace them, the number win soon become sub­ normal. Moreover, it has been found that many minor disturb­ ances of the body cause a loss of iron, and that mild infections are a common cause of iron loss. Thus, individuals who have been consuming a diet that is barely adequate in respect to iron may find themselves on the borderline of iron deficiency following an in­ fection. Iron-Rich Foods Every homemaker, therefore, should make a determined effort to include plenty of iron-rich foods in her menus. These- foods in­ clude liver, eggs\ -hole grain ce­ reals, dried fruits,'.can meats and green leafy vegetables. Green vegetables cannot be em­ phasized too strongly, for they tend somewhat to be crowded out of the winter diet by the starchy and fatty foods which provide more heat and energy. And in­ vestigations with children have demonstrated that when vegeta­ bles and fruits are limited, there is a certain sluggishness of blood formation. Green vegetables not only supply iron in significant amounts, but their iron has been found to be especially well ab­ sorbed from the digestive tract. Eat More Greens Right now it is most important to. pro vide large amounts of dan­ delion greens, spinach, Jcale, chard, watercress, lettuce and green cabbage. Serve a cooked green vegetable at one meal each day and a generous green salad at another. Top the salad with fruit, if you want to add more minerals and vitamins . . . segments of orange or grapefruit, slices of banana or pineapple, or a mixture of apple and celery. These fruits also supply impor­ tant minerals and vitamins, and like ,the green vegetables, they leave an alkaline ash following di­ gestion, and therefore help to maintain the acid-base balance of the body. Plenty of Bull Required There is still another reason why green vegetables and fruits should be consumed in liberal quantities. These foods, along with whole grain cereals, provide an abundance of bulk or cellulose which is necessary to help pro­ mote regularity. They tend to off­ set the effects of a too highly con­ centrated winter diet. Very often that feeling of lassitude, mistaken­ ly called spring.fever, can be over­ come by adding to the diet a larg­ er proportion of these naturally laxative foods. It’s also desirable to take an adequate supply of fluids to help- flush the system of waste. In addi­ tion to a generous amount of wa­ ter, there should be a pint of milk daily for every adult, a quart for every child, and fruit juices in abundance. Orange juice, grape­ fruit juice, pineapple juice and to­ mato juice all supply vitamins A, B and C, and their refreshing fruit acids have a beneficial effect upon the appetite. Exercise and Fresh Air Two more splendid antidotes for the let-down feeling that comes at this season are moderate exercise and fresh air. The proper use of the muscular system is important to health and vitality, yet many people go through the winter tak­ ing far too- little exercise. In general, you will eat better, sleep better, feel more alert and at the same time more relaxed, if you make a- point of getting out into the open every day.
