Proposals have been made in the national legislature to place relief under an entirely new set up. One of them may be expected to have Republican support because that party is committed to'local admin istration of relief. ■ Governor Hoey is quoted as con, curling in a “general opinion" that relief conld be more economi cal’y and efficient’s handled througl Stateand local agencies “ beacuse of the more intimate knowledge of local conditons and necessities.’’ There is every reason to believe that relief “could" be more eco nomically administered by Ioca agencies, and for the reasons cited by the Governor, but the question is would they? In some states, and we think North-Carolina would Ie among them, squanderihga nd per haps corruption would be held to a minimum, but in the main it would only mean the breaking down of one big michine into multiplied political satraps with the iniquity also multiplied. It ought to be an easier matter to keep one house clean than fortyeight of them .’ And even in North Carolina there is no assurance that relief would net be used politically.- W hen our legis lature is so loath to give up such political weapons as constitute our present need for election reform, is it reasonable to expect that a newer one would not be used to a fare- youwell? When W PA Administ-ator George Coin resigned a’ couple of United States senators and ten cf the State’s eleven Congressmen, a Governor and other party- digni taries, were disrppointed when Colonel Harrington appointed Mc Ginnis to his place over theia end orsement of another. And that very appointment leads to the belief that the new national relief czar means to keep politices out of relief—which is the only real plausible reason why there should be any change at all. Ifan d when Congress - deems it wise to change the set-up, that will mean that state and local units will be required to step u p ' their own contributions to the relief fund. Maybe spending their own money would have a sobering influence, but first they would have to get the money And that would be some thing else.—StatesvilleDaiiy. No New Taxes But- “ Behind Secretary Morgenthau’s. assurance of 'no new taxes’ there is" says the Richmond News Lead er, “an honest desire to stimulate business but in his statement- there is unhappily the familiar illogic of debt aud deficit.; Who can breathe easily at the propect of no new taxes wheh the Treasury is asking Congress to raise the permissible debt limit from $45,000,000,000 to $50,000,000,000? We are escaping new taxes by assuming the amort ization of new debts our children must pay. There c iuld be no great er fiscal folly, no more shameful admission of our own cowardice. What right have we to make the next generation pay for our inability to'restrain our appetite for public funds?” - E x . The Drinker’s Dollar.

It has been well said: Abuse a so cial service long enough, and it net only ceases; to be productive of good, but reacts unfavorably upon the wel fare of the individual and society. Modern society has establshed a- gencies, such as th.e parole and ’ pro bationary systems, intended to re habilitate the criminal-minded to normal behavior. M anyofourlaw r through recent years, have reached out to held the wayward find them selves and become good citizens: Even at trials, judges and juries listen with close attention to alien- ists and psychiatrists, that they may give the accused every advantage.of a doubt as to his mental responsibil ity for committing t h e crime charged. With the increasing complexity of our modern society and the difficul ty that many have in adjusting them selves in this rapidly changing world, no serious-minded person would deny the defendant the fullest con sideration of all evidence; nor would deny the defendant the fullest .con- sideration of all evidence; nor would he abolish the parole and probation ary syBtems, though he may at times become vexed at what he sees going on about him in the criminal world The evil is not in the social agen cies set up to help reform the crimi nal, but it the maudlin sentimental ity or -the Iowdown racketeering of many who are connected with these agencies. The motives of some pa role and probationary boards in re leasing criminals are as reprehensible as the acts of the convict they parole or put on probation. Too often their action is for a personal gain of Bome sort. The gain-mav be to curry fav or of the power that apoint them, or the yet m^re sordid thing—room y paid directly by a relative or through the criminal’s attorney to a member or members of the Board, or to some one who may be in a position to in fluence its action. - ' The. outside pressure sometimes brought to bear upon parole and probationary officials is surprising, A chairman of a state parole board, speaking for himself and his assc. ciate members, declared recently that the work of the board he ser ved was greatly hampered and its usefulness threatened by the ap peals of misguided relatives who h come the victims of “ccnscienceleis politicians, lawyers and racketeers." It is rare, that a parole board speaks so frankly. • 7 Pepal officials .often take ad vant age of their parole and. prohibatitn authority to extend len’ency to pri- sjners and convicts whose criminal record ra re bad wheh . crowded con ditions obtain in our penal institu tion8.—Ex.

W hat-is really and urgently needed is the cooperation, to the fullest extent, of every citi zen with the law, with a view to ultimately denstroying the giant oc topus of crime, whose slimy ten tacles are reaching into every avenue of American life.

Jenkins, pastor of tbe Rutherfordton Baptist church of where oil is mentioned in the Bihleand that the discovery and marketing of oil has come to pass showing literally that the Bible is t ue beyond a doubt is imferesting: Two years-ago there was com pleted an oil pipe line from Persia to Haifi, Palestime This oil line was built by the Anglo-Persian Petro leum Co., Ltd. It is 1,186 miles long of 1 a inch piping. This line was put down by oil workers from Oklahoma and Texas. (See Geog raphy Magazine for December, 1938, in articled: Changes in Bible. L?ods). This pipeline cost $50,- 000,000 and oil is pumped from the near: 0: Persia to tbe harbor of Haifi, in the Holy Land. There are 4,000,000 barrels of oil, or 30,- 000,000 gallons of oil sent to the sea cr*-t each year. Gasoline in Pale stine is 75 cents a gallon.

C. THE LIFE OF THE PAHTT B T E L IZ A B E T H JO R D A N OP, Apptofcon-■ Cntury Co., Ine.WNttSOTtoo CHAPTER X—Continned - 2 5 - “And Pm quite sure,” continued Hale, “you were not asleep, Miss Hosanna, when you tried to pour some of this poison into Joan Knee; land’s water bottle.” The color in her face changed to a bluish white. Her hot eyes, which had met the steady look of his up till now, turned aside. “That’s a terrible thing for you to say,” she muttered. “It is. It’s a terrible thing for you to do. In fact, this is the most terrible hour of my life, Miss Hosan na. I can’t imagine anything that could ever happen to me that I would feel more. Joan in such dan ger—and you! Lately I have begun to suspect almost everyone else in the house of trying to hurt Joan. Never for one second have I sus pected you. I trusted you absolutely. I haven’t realized it till now, but— well—the fact is, I was awfully fond of you. And all the time—” “You don’t understand.” Miss Hosanna stood up, but her body sagged and her voice had the flatness of utter exhaustion. “No one has been poisoning Joan,” she said. “You can’t prove any of the wild things you’re saying. But I’ll talk to you about them in the morning. I can’t talk any more tonight.” She half turned to leave, but Hale’s imperative gesture stopped h e r.. “You can’t go, Miss Hosanna,” he . said almost, gently. “The door is locked and I have the key in my pocket. Sit down, please.” She did net obey. She stood look ing at him in silence. He kept his seat and went on. “I can prove what I’m saying. I took this bottle of poison from your hands. A-minute before that I in terrupted you by opening Miss Joan’s door just when you were about to put some of its contents into her drinking water.” “You will have to explain-to me, and to others, why you were open ing Joan’s door at one o’clock in the morning.” Miss Hosanna spoke as quietly as he had done. At his sudden change of expression she smiled. The smile was like the look in her eyes—some thing from which he turned away. “That gives you something to think about, doesn’t it?” she asked softly. ' “Yes, it does. I’m thinking of how desperate you must be, Miss Hosanna, to say such a thing. But I can prove my charges all right, and without hurting Joan. This wasn’t your first visit to her room at night. You have been there before. She recognized you and was horri bly frightened by your looks and your actions. She told me about the visit.the next day.” Miss'Hosanna did not speak. Hale gave her time to get the full effect of his words and went on. “Tonight, over the telephone, just before I came upstairs, I received a message from a leading New York analyst. He reported to me that the specimen of milk I had sent him for analysis contained a dose of the same poison you have in this bottle. I took that specimen from the milk in Joan’s thermos bottle, which Rose had brought up to Joan’s room by; your order to Jane. I had cohfis- cated that thermos bottle.” “You woidd confiscate it,” Miss Hosanna said dully. “From the first you have interfered with every thing and everybody here.” She dropped back into her chair, not as if she wanted to but as if she could stand no lon'ger. Hale, nodded. “I have interfered,” he admit ted. “I’ve interfered with saddists and extortionists and malpractition- ers. Now I’m interfering with a would-be killer. Do you understand that, Miss Hosanna? I’m preventing a murder.” Suddenly, as she sat there before him in silence, his self-control gave way. “Oh, for God’s sake!” he broke out. “Why did you do it? How could you do it? The girl you were trying to murder was your own niece, your brother’s child. What had you against her? What had she done to you? If you can explain it do so, in God’s name. I’m going off my head under the shock of this. Anyone else I could handle. But you—you—” He ended with the despairing gulp of a small boy. VI tell you I was getting fond of you! I felt almost as if you were taking the place of my mother.” As if the words had been a sort of invocation, Miss Hosanna’s manner changed again. She threw out both hands, palms upward, in a strange gesture of acceptance. “Then I will explain,” she said quietly. “I’ll have to, later. I might as well do it now.” As if rallying her courage for the ordeal she raised her head in her familiar proud gesture. “You ask me what my niece has ever done to me,” she began. “My answer is that she has never done anything to me. She has never done anything for me, either, though she could have changed my whole life with a few strokes of her pen. At Christmas time and on my birth days she gives me a new dress, or a wrist watch, or a pin, and I’m expected to be touchingly grateful. At Christmas time and on my birth days my brother hands me a ten dollar bill or perhaps.a twenty dol lar bill, if he’s feeling generous. These doles from him and from her are all I have in the world. They are all Fve ever had, since my fa ther and mother died and I was left dependent on my brother. Cas per and Joan have about a million dollars each. I’ve worked and slaved for Casper since father and mother died. I could have got a sit uation then. I could have supported myself and lived a self-respecting life. But Casper’s wife, Julia, never liked housekeeping. As soon as they came East they said they needed me to run their houses. So I have run their houses.” She stopped an instant, drew a deep breath, and went on. “I endured their selfishness and indifference. I never knew what it was to have a penny of my own. Casper thinks he’s a wonderful brother. Isn’t he giving me a home, and three meals a day? Isn’t he supporting me in comfort while others work out in the world? He thinks I’m quivering with gratitude, but I hate him. I’ve always hated him. He has made me a beggar in his home. While his wife was living ' I was worse than that. She needed me; but during the last years of her life she hated me, and she let me see it twenty-four hours a day. By that time it was too late for me to get an outside job. I was caught.” There was a short pause. Hale did not speak. Miss Hosanna glanced at him once, lowered her eyes, and went on. “Still, if it hadn’t been for Ruth I would have left Casper long ago. I would have taken a job in some one’s kitchen, if I had to. But after Julia died Casper let me have Ruth here a good deal. Even that wasn’t done for me. She amused him, at first. He doesn’t like her now, and he lets her know it. In the begin ning Ruth enjoyed being here. She likes comfort and luxury, and Cas per will always loosen up on any thing that makes a show, dose as he is. Ahything he gave to me didn’t show, so why should he give me anything? That’s the way he looked at it." The bitterness of the low voice was indescribable. “But—why are you taking out your hatred on Joan?” “Don’t interrupt me, please.” Miss Hosanna spoke with sudden dignity. “You wanted an explana tion. You’re getting it. Now keep quiet and try to take it in. I’m coming to Joan. When I heard she was to live with Casper—that was eight years ago—I was glad. I thought things would be different, especially as she grew older. I wanted to mother her. I even thought she might love me. I thought she would see my position and understand it. I was sure she would help me. I had dreams of a possible income, however small. She had so much! -But—well, she nev er thought of such a thing; as help ing me. Perhaps it wasn’t her fault. She simply stepped into the picture and things went on exactly as they had always gone. She is never un kind to me, of course. But she is as remote as the stars. She gives me an occasional present, as I’ve said. That’s all. She hardly real izes that I’m on earth. When I’m desperate for a few dollars I can always go to Cass. He is sur prised when I’m driven to it, and he shows it. He can’t understand why I need money, when I have such a good home!” Her lips curled and the words ended almost in a snarl. “I don’t want to interrupt again, Miss Hosanna,” Hale interjected. “But I still can’t understand why you are . taking out all your resent ment on Joan.” “I’m telling you, if you will keep quiet,” Miss Hosanna said wearily. She went on more slowly, as if how dragging forth her words by sheer will power. “Three years ago I learned from Casper’s pompous talk that he had made a new will. “I thought perhaps he had left me something. That shows how hope ful I was, even then! If he had I wouldn't have much chance of get ting it, of course. I’m only two years younger than he is. B u t- well, the knowledge that he had thought of me might have warmed my heart. It needed warming. By that time I was getting pretty hard. Not one of the family cared for me, or paid the slightest attention to me. They merely looked on me as a useful machine around the house, a.sort of Robot. I love Ruth Spen cer Forbes, but I know Pm only a habit with her. She likes me as much as she likes anyone, though, and she has lived long enough to appreciate unselfish devotion. That’s all I ask. We get along. We’ve always got along. She has given me the only glimpse I’ve ever had of real friendship and affection.” She stopped definitely now, as if to give Hale another chance to in terrupt He did not take it, and she continued. “I knew Pasper’s will was in his safe. I have the combination. Well, purely as a matter of curiosity, I opened the safe and read my broth er’s will. It ran true to Casper’s form. He did not leave me a penny. Neither had my other brother, who had just as much money, left me anything. John ignored me entire ly. I suppose he assumed that Cas per was generous with me. Gener ous!” She laughed, and Hale shud dered. “Well,” she continued, “in his will Casper commended his dear sister to his son’s care. He explained that he was sure that Herbert would al ways give me a good home. After all my work for him, he left me dependent for the rest of "my life, in my old age' and helplessness, on the charity and the caprices of the wife and children Bert will have some day.” “You’ve been abominably treated, Miss Hosanna,” Rex muttered. “But I don’t see yet where—” “Where Joan comes in? You will. Joan had made a will at the same time Casper did. He advised it, and Mr. Phelps prepared both wills. I read her will without much in terest, and with absolutely no hope of being remembered in it. But Joan had come up against the dis covery that she had a small family and a large fortune. Her few rela tives, «icept myself, didn’t need any extra money. She left the bulk of her fortune to Bert. Because she didn’t know what to do with the rest of it, she left a hundred thou sand dollars to m e! I think Mr. Phelps had suggested it.” She stopped and looked at Hale. He stared back at her. “And because she did that,” he brought out slowly, “you tried to kill her!” “I did.” She made the confession with perfect calmness. “There wasn’t a chance in a mil lion that I’d ever get the money in a natural way. She’s a young girl. I’m a middle-aged woman. Besides, as soon as she marries her will must be changed and all her money .will go to her husband and children. She would never leave me a hundred thousand, with them in the offing. I knew that. “Just the same,” she went on quickly, as Hale tried to speak, “I didn’t do anything about it till last summer.' Then Ruth told me that Mrs. Stuyvesant had tentatively asked her to come and live with her as companion and secretary. The situation was a sinecure. Ruth’s no good as an aid to anyone, and no one knows it better than Mrs. Stuy- vesaht. But she’s - a lonely woman and she’s really devoted to Ruth. So there-was a little income at tached to the offer.” Hale’s lips parted, but Miss Ho sanna’s expression checked his words. “You’ve been talking pretty stead ily ever since you came to Halcyon Camp,’’ she told him grimly.. “Can’t you listen for half an hour?” Hale flushed and nodded. “Then I’ll soon finish,” She went on in the same flat voice, from which all vitality seemed to have fled. “The matter was not settled. Mrs. Stuyvesant, confessed: that the only reason she hesitated to urge the sug gestion was that Ruth occasionally took heroin. She wanted Ruth to promise she would give that up. That made Ruth furious. She’s fond of Mrs. Stuyvesant, but she won’t be dictated to. The flare-up be tween them gave me my chance. I— well, I rather encouraged Ruth to take the heroin. I was driven fran tic by the fear of losing her. I would have lost her completely if she had gone with the Stuyvesants. I’d have seen her at first, but the friendship would have tapered off. “Ruth finally admitted that she wasn’t keen on going to Mrs. Stuy vesant,” she continued after another pause. “She said she would rather live with me. She said she would feel more independent She even said she would ask nothing better for the rest of her life. But she added that Casper was getting pret ty brusque and she didn’t know how long she could stand his bad man ners and the suspicious way he had of looking at her. I had hardly thought of Joan’s legacy for two years. After that I - I remembered it.” “My God,” Hale groaned. The interview was a growing nightmare. He could no longer convince himself that it was taking place. “So last summer you began to—to—” “No.” Miss Hosanna evidently shared his dislike of putting the mat ter into words. “I began very early this last spring. I gave Joan a few doses, as—well, an experiment. I didn’t do any more about it until we came here. I thought it was safer here. I was so ignorant about such things that I didn’t know how to proceed. I got books and read about the effects of different kinds of poi sons, in’small doses, over a long period. One book described the ef fects of bichloride of mercury, but it said they varied in different per sons. Some persons were quickly affected by little doses. With others it took a lot. I got the stuff from Jim Haines. I told him I wanted it for household use and I think he be lieved me. Then I experimented, very cautiously.” “Experimented? How?” Hale asked the question under his breath. “On Joan, of course, with very lit tle doses, several days or more apart. On animals, too,” Miss Ho sanna said simply. “On the two cats? And on Joan’s Pekinese?" Rex jerked out the ques tion after a moment of stupefaction. “Yes. But the doses were too large, and the effect too sudden. I learned to be more careful. You see, I had to get the effect the book described—a very gradual breaking down of health—a. natur al-looking effect.” Rex got up and moved around the room. He felt that if he sat still any longer and listened to that flat voice going-on and on and on with its horrible tale he would do some thing desperate. He turned back at last, plunged his hands in his pock ets, and faced Miss Hosanna. For a long moment they looked at each other in silence. Then, as she be gan to speak again, Rex raised a shaking hand. “Don’t tell me any more , about it,” he said. “I think Pve got it all.” “Yes,” she agreed. “I think you have. You see,” she-added, “I didn’t kill her.” “No, you didn’t kill her.” (TO BE CONTINUED) O l d I n d i a n M is s io n i n M i c h ig a n B u i lt • F r o m T i m b e r D r a g g e d t o S i t e b y O x e n Greensly Hill Indian mission; one of northern Michigan’s most impor tant historic spots, will be preserved as a perpetual exhibit if plans by the Charlevoix board of commerce and the county board of supervisors are successful, states a correspond ent in the Detroit Free Press. Originally, Greensky hill - was a council place of the Indians, who planted a council ring of trees to mark the site of their powwows. To prevent the trees from being cut for timber by the encroaching white men, the Indians bent them to the ground and tied them with bass wood thongs, rendering them unfit for lumber. The symbolic purpose of the planting of the trees was to demonstrate the pledge that, as long 'as the trees grew, and bore leaves, the tribes would remain at peace with one another. In 1839, in response to a request by Indians who. had embraced Chris tianity, Peter - Greensky was sent there by the Methodist church.’ The first church building was a “wag- nog-any” constructed of saplings, and covered with elm bark, with only a dirt floor. In 1861 this be came too small for the increasing congregation, and a log church was built. . ' • - The Indians felled, the trees and squared the logs. Thie huge timbers were dragged into place by Peter Greensky’s oxen. The only pieces used in construction, which were brought from another place were the windows, doors, and trim, which were brought from Traverse city by dugout canoes, and trans ported up the steep hills- on the backs of the Indians. No bell was available, so a huge conch shell was blown to call the Ridians to worship. Between the church and Susan lake is an - old Indian burying ground, where the graves face the east, as has always been the cus tom. Perfumed Rainbews An idea which exists in some country districts is that there is an odor attached to a rainbow. The belief is really very ancient and is mentioned by Pliiqr and Aristotle. Of course there is no smell about a rainbow, and the origin of the be lief is probably to be explained in the following way: Everyone is fa miliar with the increase ofscent given off by plants, shrubs, and trees on a warm day after the rain has. been newly washed by heavy rain. This state of affairs would often naturally coincide with the appearance of the rainbow. Hence people jumped to the conclu sion that the odor which they noted must be caused by the rainbow, when, as a matter of fact, says the Montreal Herald, it had nothing to do with the wonderful arch in the sky.

PADL PREACHES THE RISEN CHRIST LESSON TEXT—A cts IS:16, 23-31. 38-39: t Corinthians 15:19-22. ^___GOLDEN TEXT—B ut now is C hrist ristm from the dead, and Wfcome the Ito ttru ils of them that sle p t—I Corinthians 15:20. From tirhe immemorial man has stood questioning at the close of life, somehow feeling that (as Tennyson expressed it) Thou wilt not leave tis in the dust; __Ih o u m adest m an, he knows not why* He thinks he w as not m ade to die:And thou h ast m ade him : thou a rt ju s t But nowhere in nature was there written the assurance that death did not end all. In fact it was not until Christ won His victory over death that there was any real certainty that there was life beyond the grave. Christianity is the only faith that rests upon the resurrection of its founder. Other religions point with pride to the monuments at the graves of their-founders. Christi anity alone presents an empty tomb. Since only God can give life and Jesus by His own power raised Him self from the dead, we have the right... to the glorious claim that Christianify is the one true faith— a victorious living faith. Resurrection truth I. Makes the Preacher Bold (v. 16). Barnabas and Paul had been set apart by the Holy Spirit and by the Church for missionary work, and on their first journey had reached Anti och in Pisidia. In the synagogue on the Sabbath day they were asked to speak to the people. Paul arose in holy boldness and called upon them to hearken to him. What is the im portant message which gives this preacher such assurance? The res urrection of Jesus Christ. It is true that the sermon he gives presents much other information as it log ically and tactfully leads up to its high point, but that point is the resurrection and the redemption which it assures^ II. Makes the Gospel Clear (w . 23-31, 38, 39). Reviewing Israel’s history, Paul declares that of the seed of David God had “according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus,” but that they slew Him. Now, if that were the end, we would indeed be “of all men most mis erable” (I Cor; 15:19). Our hopes of salvation, with Israel’s hopes, were bound up in Christ. But a dead Christ could save no one, not even Himself. We must have a living Christ. Had Paul’s message stopped there it would have been a hollow mockery. But wait, what is it we repd? “God raised him from the dead” (v. 30). Blessed truth! Glo rious foundation for the proclama tion of the gospel so aptly epito mized in the words of verses 38 and 39. Now it is clear.that we have a victorious, living Saviour and a gos pel to preach that is the "power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth” (Rom .l:16). m . Makes the Future Certain (I Cor. 16:19-22). Man comes to the years of matur ity and suddenly faces the shocking fact that the life to which he gives so much, for which he labors and sacrifices, is but for a brief span of years, perhaps-at the most “three score years and ten, and if by rea son of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow” (Ps. 90:10). He sees that friends and loved ones must part at the grave. Is this the end? The answer to that question comes to us today from the empty tomb in the garden through the. words of Paul. Listen to their majesty—re joice in their beauty and assurance: “But now is Christ risen from .the dead.” Hallelujah! And that’s not all, He has “become the' first fruits of them that slept” (v. 20), which means that all those who are asleep in Jesus will "be brought forth in due sqason. The resurrection of Jesus trans formed the grave (as a friend of mine expresses it) from a dark hole in the ground where hope ends, to a highway, going down, it is true; through the valley of the shadow, but lighted by the victory of Jesus over death, and bordered on both sides by Easter lilies. Thus is “brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory”—a victory that makes us “steadfast, . unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” (I Cor. 15:54,58). It is Easter. Christ is risen! Let us rejoice! God’s Garden God-Almighty first planted a gar den; and indeed it is the purest of human pleasures. It is the greatest refreshment to the spirits of man, without which buildings and palaces' are but gross handiworks; and a man shall ever see that, when ages grow to civffity and elegancy men come to built stately sooner than to garden finely, as if gardening were the greater perfection FrancisBacon. to G a r d e n e r s - C hanging M ethods /■'i ERTAIN garden practices widely followed a generation ago have now been proved un wise. Gardeners formerly allowed vegetables to grow as large as possible. According to Walter H. Nixon, vegetable expert, this prac tice gave a higher yield in pounds, but very often lowered the quality of the vegetables. Some vegetables, of course, like tomato, must be mature to be pal atable; but carrots, cucumbers, beets, summer squash, turnips, radishes and others are more ten der and tasty when not much more than half grown. To keep a regular supply of vegetables of proper eating size, gardeners are finding also that it is advisable to plant oftener than once or twice a year. Gardens prove more enjoyable and more profitable when successive plant ings of favorite crops are made every two or three weeks, provid ing garden-fresh vegetables for the table over a long season. Few gardeners nowadays save flower seeds. Fine flowers grow ing in the home garden often are cross-pollinated' by others of the same species, making flowers grown from their seed inferior and untrue.

The curtain rod was placed on hooks near the top of the door frame and extended a good 7 inches over the wall at each side of the doors. The cur* tains were sewed to rings. When they were in place, they covered both the hooks and the sides of die door frame, and allowed the doors to be opened. . NOTE: These curtains were lined and had a pleated heading.'

For the first time in many vears Mocksville has two candidates for the office of mayor. Both gentle men are well known and have many friends in the town aud county. We don't know what kind of a plat form either one of them is running on. Both gentlemen are democrats. W hen the ballots have been cast and counted, and regardless of which one is elected, we sincerely hope that the W instonSalem Jonrnal will not come ont vt ith big, black headlines declaring that the de mocrats have won a great victory in Mocksvtlle. No Republican is a candidate for mayor or a~y other town office, so far as we know. The columns of The Record is open to both Mr. Caudell ar.d Mr. Hend ricks, and we trust that they will tell the voters what they stand for, and what they ptopose to do to make Mocksville a bigger and bet ter town in which to live. To Mocksville Voters. Below I am giving my reasons for filing as an independent candidate for mayor of Mocksviile. First. Because I believe in the principles of freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, which principles our fore fathers fought and died for. to de liver us from under the bondage of dictatorship.. Second. I see no place in the man agement of city government for par tisan politics. I believe the mayor should be under no obligation to any political party in discharging hi3 sacred duty. When I went to file, I was asked to conform to a certain party, which would have deprived mo of any and all rights and privi leges, regardless of my convictions, which I flatly refused. Then I was informed that I could file as in dependent if I could get 25 per cent of the qualified voters of the city to sign, which was not true, but it stead, I was only required to get 25 per cent of votes cast for mayor in the last election, which I did easily. After complying with every require ment of law, I was Jtill denied the privilege to file by the mayor, and only when they were forced by law did they allow me to file, for which they should claim no hon-.r. I hereby pledge myself, if elected, that I will not be governed by any political party, but will discharge my duties, which will be free from partisan politics. I further pledge myself, if elected, to show special favors to no one. but will do justice to all. regardless of race or color. I will do all I can to suppress crime and lawlessness, and strive to make this a better city. I will respect the views of others, and will appreciate the co-operation of all to join in and have a voice in the affairs of the city government I believe not only Mocksviile, but ah city governments should get rid of party rule and strive together for the common geod of all.

PARTON "NJ EW YORK.—When James D. Ross was appointed by the President as chief of Bonneville, the biggest dam in the world, in Octo- D -H /-, - , ber> 1937, it was BonnevtlleChter believed in some Soothes Hostile quarters that his Power People selection would sharpen the dis agreement between the administra tion and the power companies. To day it appears that Mr. Ross has allayed, rather than provoked hos tilities. The utilities rate him as “reasonable.” Bonneville has been the bete noir of western power de velopment. This writer hears there is now a better chance for two-way appeasement than at any time in the past. Mr. Ross, for 20 years head of the municipal power develop ment of Seattle, has human traits which perhaps account for his expedient rather than doc trinal trend. No mere doctri naire would amuse himself by keeping a copper ball in the air with no visible means of support —just because he loves kilowatts and likes to see them work. He was a consulting engineer for the New Yorfe power authority and the St. Lawrence seaway, a con sultant for PWA power development and later a member of the SEC be fore the President made him the Bonneville boss. As a boy, he rode his bike from Chatham, Ont., to New York city, to learn pharmacy. He got a job as an apprentice chem ist, but pestling seemed piffling, so he hit the long grind back to Chat ham—but he kept on pedaling.

The young and energetic Mr. Pier son, who became head of the bank in 1936, toured the Latin-American countries last summer and fall and returned with a lot of sizzling new ideas about hopping up South Amer ican trade, and resisting the totali tarian drive, by deploying credit judiciously where it is needed most to grease the trade run-around. When it came to Brazil, he got eager. attention from both the state department and the admin istration, as Brazil is an impor tant consideration of naval geog raphy as well as trade.

He can recite the m arriage rituals of forty- seven varieties of religion, ranging from the voodooistic ceremony to that of the Church of England, but he uses a mixed ritual which he made up himself. As you’ve probably suspected by now, he is a minister without portfolio, one who officiates only in the movies. Of the many screen players whom he has “married” North reveals that Claudette Colbert exhibited the most nervousness; he thinks that was be cause she is the most religious. The calmest person, he says, was Rochelle Hudson; she took two of his ceremonies in her stride, and CLAUDETTE COLBERT apparently thought they were amus ing. Laura LaPlante cried, and Marlene Dietrich kept arranging her hair and dress. His most recent appearance on the screen as a marrying man was for "Wuthering Heights.” Merle Oberon and David Niven were the bride and groom, and he used the ritual dictated by the period. . The Princesses Elizabeth and Mar garet, of England’s royal family, were asked recently to name their favorite motion picture star.

But it happened that all of her walking shots had been made. She was due just to sit in the rest of the picture anyway. ^ How’d yon like to look ahead to taking a beating?

Pid- geon has been using bis spare time between scenes of “Penthouse” to practice up a bit, but he is none too optimistic about his own skill, even though the script does put a limit on the amount of damage that is to be done to him.

( Safety Talks ) 4Pedestrian Faults? OpHE National Safety council has A charged pedestrians with a large share of the responsibility for traffic accidents that killed 39,- 500 persons in 1937. Of this total 15,400 were pedestrians. . In “Accident Facts,” a statisti cal review of 1937, the council said: “Many pedestrians show ut ter lack of caution in their use of streets and highways. Combined state reports for 1937 show that in 67 per cent of all fatal pedestrian accidents the pedestrian either was violating a traffic law or was acting in an obviously unsafe man- . ner. In non-fatal accidents, pedes trian faults appeared in 69 per cent of the cases.” The council described such things as jay-walking, failure to observe traffic lights, drunken walking, walking with instead of against traffic on rural highways, crossing streets in the middle of a block as “pedestrian faults.” NERVOUS?

S h e e r F a b r i c s , L a c e , C o l o r V a r i e d H e a d d r e s s f o r B r i d e By CHERIE NICHOLAS P k CtORTUNATE indeed is the bride- " to-be who is planning a lovely spring wedding, in that fashion is not setting down arbitrary rules in the matter of bridal array but rath er is encouraging fancy-free indi vidual choices. This departure’from stereotyped traditional dress is particularly evi denced in the matter of color. The prospective bride who has secretly cherished the idea of an eye-appeal- ing subtle tint for her nuptial gewn and veil instead of traditional white, will have the joy of finding that dreams do come true. A very successful color technique on the part of designers robes the bride and her maids in the same color or, as the case may be, in different intensity of the same color. A suggestion along this line is pale pink satin 'for the wedding gown with bridesmaids’ bouffant dresses of sheerest net in- a trifle deeper tone. The bride either wears white orchids or carries roses in the pink of her gown, while the attendants’ flowers are of deeper hue. As to the styling of the gowns, sentiment runs high in favor of full- skirted types with quaint, fitted bod ices or hiplength basque effects. There is a pronounced flair this spring for exquisitely sheer weaves for both bride and maids, , such as marquisette, mousseline de soie, or nets of sheerest type. As to lace for Uie wedding gown it is ever a favorite the more so this spring in that enthusiasm tor lace is so general throughout all fashiondom. The gown pictured fits into the springtime wedding scene with queenly grace. Its artful soft styling brings skirt fullness to the front in latest approved manner. Its form-fitting midriff accents a slen der waistline as is required of fash ions today. The heart-shaped neck line and the high shouldered full- at-top long fitted sleeves are signifi cant styling details. No matter how entrancing her gown, a bride fails at looking her prettiest if her headdress and veil do not flatter. Here again is fash ion indulgent to the spring bride, in that the new fantasies of tulle and flowers and lace include every pos sible type, suited to every individu ality. Best of all, in the modern way of doing things there is no fuss or flurry at the last moment to get the veil pinned into shape by nervous unskilled fingers, for that has been taken care of in advance by spe cialists. AU that is required of the bride-to-be is to take her milliner into confidence long before the hap py day or the consulting adviser in the wedding bureau where you are supposed to come and ask questions, as established nowadays in all high* class establishments. If it is a pe riod type, or a youthful ingenue headdress, or a stately coronet, if it be a simple inexpensive piece or a most elaborate one let your needs be !mown and by some magic, it’s there before your very eyes. The various types of headdress shown in the little inset pictures are typical new'trends such as are available in shops and specialty de partments that cater to seekers of bridal array. £ W estern New spaper Union.

B e i g e S u i t s S p i k e d W i t h V i v i d S h a d e s Paris dressmaker strategy with beige suits is to dose them a-plenty with vivid color, such as red, splashy printed stuff, or gaudy pink and such pastels. The color comes in the blouse, hat, gloves, and other details. Or they put a beige jacket with a brown or black skirt, and throw in a brilliant blouse and accessories in a third color. New Gowns Flouncy Rows of flounces form some of the newest evening skirts, giving them a minaret silhouette.- C a l l f o r P l a i d s Among the definite _ impressions con veyed by ap parel collec tions in Ieait ing Couturier salons is that of the importance of handsome plaid wools made up into stunning topcoats or jackets. Paris designers especially favor huge plaids. Per example, Creed designs a multi-color plaid coat with very unusual'pockets to replace the hand bag as you see here pictured. Tha tailored sailor by Rose Vidois tune* smartly to' the chic of this handsome -coat. If it is a jacket suit that claims your interest consider it in terms of a handsome plaid wool as pictured at the top. This costume, also a Creed model, achieves perfect en> sembling via a multi-colored jacket, -a blue pleated skirt and a dark red silk blouse. AMERICANS Elmo Scott Watson Unlucky North Pole Seeker /~JN OCTOBER 25, 1933, an auto- ^ mobile in Washington, D. C., struck down and killed a 71-year-old. man who, for 20 years, had defied the numerous pitfalls of death in the frozen North and who once just missed sharing in the honors or of discovering the North pole. He was Evelyn B. Baldwin. Baldwin first went beyond the Arctic circle in 1893 as meteorolo gist with Capt. Robert Peary's sec ond expedition to Greenland. On a previous expedition, Perry found what he thought was.a "royal road to the pole,” via Independence bay. Baldwin suggested that a better route lay through Kane basin. But Peary decided otherwise. Ironical ly enough, when Peary did make his successful dash to the pole, several years later it was by the very route which Baldwin had suggested. In 1897 Baldwin was en route to accompany the famous Andree bal loon expedition to find the pole when Andree, suddenly favored by good weather, decided to start, without waiting the arrival of Baldwin’s ship next day. On July 11, the ill - fated Andr». sailed away, never to be heard of again until 1930 when a party of Norwegian explorers found his skeleton. But this narrow escape from death .did not daunt Baldwin. In 18 he was second in command of the Wellman expedition which reached the then “farthest north” of 81 degrees and 30 seconds be fore turning back. Baldwin then set off with-several OOmpafnbnsi and dis-T covered new land, named Graham Bell land. In 1901 he made his supreme at tempt to reach the pole with the Baldwin-Ziegler, expedition. It failed because his supply ship did not' ar rive in time and only good luck pre vented the entire party from perish ing. Before he could finance an other expedition Peary discovered the pole and Baldwin’s career as an eJtplorer ended. * * * Tenderfoot Triumph TF EVER Americans deserved the * title "tenderfeet,” it was the band of emigrants, led. by John Bid- well, which left Missouri in May, 1841, for the West. They had heard of the riches of California but knew nothing about the country they must cross to gain their promised land. Once they reached the Great Salt take, they believed they could float down rivers that were supposed to flow to the Pacific. So they took a big supply of tools to build boats when needed. Guided by Thomas Fitzpatrick, the fur trader, and Father De Smedt, the missionary, they reached South pass in Wyoming safely. Then, despite warnings against try ing to cross the desert of the Cen tral basin, they turned off from the Oreigon trail and ‘ headed south west. Soon- they were in a bewildering country of salt plains. Food and water supplies ran low. Cruel mi rages lured them on. But some how they managed to survive .and reach - the Humboldt river in Ne vada. They followed it to-, the Hum boldt Sink and turned south to the Carson river. By the time they reached the Walker river they were forced to kill the last of their, oxen. Six: weary months after leaving Missouri they reached the rich San Joaquin valley. Theirs had been: an epic journey. For the success of the Bidwell expedition pointed the way for the first thin trickle of emigration to California that began soon afterwards and reached its high tide in the Goiden Days of ’49. • • * Bad Boy of'the Mayflower A MONG the Pilgrim Fathers who came over on' the Mayflower was John Billington, accompanied by his wife and two sons, Francis and John Jr. Early in that historic voyage young John disgraced him self. While playing in the family’s cabin with his father’s fowling piece, he fired the weapon close to an open keg of powder. ‘‘Only the Lord’s mercy saved the .ship and the entire company from bfeing blown to. pieces,” writes a pious historian of those days. After the Pilgrims had settled Plymouth, young Johnny got into another scrape. He wandered off into the woods one day by himself. When he failed to return, a party set out to look for him. After a week’s futile search, it was learned that he was in an Indian village 20 miles' south of Plymouth. His mother shed tears of grati tude when friendly Indians brought him back, but some of the Pilgrims were “sorely vexed” because he had put them to all this bother. No doubt, he came by his trouble-mak ing honestly for Ius father was that kind of man. In fact, John Billing- 'ton, seiiior, has the unenviable dis tinction of being the first person hanged in Plymouth colony. He quarreled with young John New- comin, waylaid him and shot him down. For this willful murder “by plaine and notorious evidence” he vas hanged on September 30, 1630. • W estern Newspaper UnloE. WHAT to EAT ai*J WHY C. Houston Goudiss Discusses Beverages of Various Kinds; Explains Their Role in the Diet By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS CvOOD and drink are inseparably linked in any considera- ■T tion of the nutritional needs of man. It is, therefore, in response to a fundamental need that we include some kind of beverage in every meal, no matter how simple or how elab orate the food may be. For primarily, beverages contain water which is as necessary to the human body as sir. Approximately two-thirds off' the body is composed of water. ‘ It is found in the muscles, in the brain tissue, in the various organs such as liver and kid neys, and even in the bones. Every cell in the body is de pendent upon water for its proper functioning. Body's Need for Liquids This precious fluid acts as a sol vent of food materials and makes possible their di gestion and absorp tion. Since it is an essential constitu ent of the blood, it helps to transport nutrients to every cell—this function a lo n e requiring about 10 pounds of water in constant circulation. Final ly, it helps to elim inate waste prod ucts from the body through the lungs, skin and kidneys. The daily losses of water from the body must be replaced regu larly or the consequences may be extremely serious to health. It has been shown that headaches, nervousness and indigestion may result when the intake of fluids is diminished below normal require ments. Beverages Classified The quantity of water needed by each person varies with the. di etary and with the season of the year, much larger amounts being required when the temperature is high. But it is generally agreed that everyone should consume sev eral glasses Of w ater daily, in ad dition to the water obtained from foods, chiefly fruits and vegeta bles. Part of the need is met by milk, and by coffee, tea, cocoa, fruit juices and various other fruit-flavored drinks which add pleasure to mealtime, serve as wholesome, between-meal pick- me-ups, and provide a gracious method of extending hospitality to guests. Aside from milk, which belongs In a classification by itself, and fruit juices which are consumed chiefly for their minerals and vita mins, beverages fall into two groups which overlap somewhat: (hose that are refreshing and those that are stimulating. Refreshing Beverage* The refreshing beverages in- dude fruit juices, fruitades and carbonated drinks, such as ginger ale and sarsaparilla. They are ef fective in quenching thirst and their appetizing flavors encourage the drinking of generous amounts of water. They also contribute energy values to the diet in pro portion to the amount of sweeten ing used in their preparation. Fruit juices are most frequently served as an appetizer at break fast, lunch or dinner. Fruitades are useful as between-meal drinks and when entertaining. Children like to display their hospitality to friends and this type of beverage, served with a few crackers or simple cookies, makes an attrac tive snack. Mothers will find it convenient and economical to utilize for this purpose beverage crystals which come in a variety of fruit flavors. These make wholesome, refresh ing beverages at a minimum cost; the amount of sweetening may be determined by individual prefer ence; and they are so easily pre pared that children may do file mixing themselves. Stimulating Beverages The stimulating beverages are coffee, tea, chocolate and cocoa. When made with milk, chocolate and copoa are - rich . in - nutritive values,' though Uieir fuel value Va ries with the product used. Choco late is much richer in fat than cocoa, and products labeled “breakfast cocoa” usually contain a larger percentage of the natural cocoa fat than products simply la beled, “cocoa.” The food value of coffee and tea depends, entirely upon the cream or milk, and sugar with which they are served. However, tbey have an important place In the dietary because their flavor and aroma add greatly to Uie enjoy ment of other foods and they give a comfortable feeling of well being. The stimulating principle in these beverages is known as caf- feln in coffee, and thein in tea. Doctors may forbid coffee because of some abnormality in health which makes % stimulant unde sirable. Bnt competent author!-, ties hold that the effects of the moderate use of coffee by normal individuals may be disregarded. Neither coffee nor tea, , however, should be given to children. First, because they do not need stimu lants, and second, because the use of . these beverages will trad to reduce the consumption of milk which is so important to their nu tritional welfare.

HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Guard Against Stateness The subject of coffee has been investigated from many angles by competent scientists, whose find ings should be of interest to home* makers. The flavor and aroma of coffee are derived chiefly from a volatile oil, which is developed during the roasting process. But it has been established that this substance is rapidly lost from the coffee upon exposure to air. More over, each pound of coffee con tains about two ounces of fixed oil which may become rancid in the presence of air. These changes occur whether the coffee is ground or in the bean. Since stale, flavorless coffee may have an adverse effect upon appetite, it is important to bay a product that is protected against the air, or to choose one that is freshly roasted. The homemaker should also buy coffee in small quantifies so that it can be used up quickly once it Is opened. After the coffee has been made, there may be a further escape of its flavor and. fragrance with both heat and steam. That is why cof fee should not be allowed to stand, but should be served file moment it is made, and why it should not be reheated. Tea also deteriorates when it is stored for‘ long periods. It should therefore be bought in small quan tities and kept in air-tight con. tainers. Questions Answered _ Mrs. J. F.

Enlarging Salem Church Construction of a $2,000 Sunday -vhool annex to Ihe Snlem Mttho dist Churchof the Davie circuit, is well under way. The church is well over a hundred years old, and is one of the oldest Methodest church es in I be county. The addition, which, was made oossible through a gift from the Duke Fonnda ion, is being erected as a community project with mem bers of the c'Jtirch co-operating in the actual construction work. The pastor, Rev. M. G. Ervin, frequent- Iy lends a hand with a hammer and w. The annex is biing built at the rear of the church building proper. One end of it will form a wing at the rear of the church. Tbeannex will house several Sunday school rooms, filling a long-felt need of the Salem congregation. Tom Cartner, 86 yeir-old resi dent of the Salem community and oldest living member of the church, dug one of the first shovels of earth when work was started on the foundation more than two weeks ago. He visits the buildfngsite al most daily, tackles small jobs with amazing vigor. 0:her woikers aie often hard put to keep him frcm undertaking even harder tasks. The elder Cartner's son, T. G, Cartner, is superintendent of the Sunday school. Another son, J. L Cartner, is a member of the annex building committee. W ork on the addition is expected to be completed within the next Co days.—Twin-City Sentinel. Drys Given The Horse Laugh. The dry forces of the state asked for a referendum on the question of the manufacture and sale of liquor in North Carolina. “ It would seem” says Charity and Children that in a democracy the people would be given a chance to express themselves on a matter of such importance but not in the sott of democracy that the politi :ians en force in this state. The politicians know or think they know, what the people would do if given the right that sometimes goes with a democracy, and beacuse they know, che people will not be allowed to decide the m at'er.” Efforts have been made in the present Legislature to allow a state wide vote on the sale of liquor in this state but the wet guzzlers in the Legislature have blocked it and there will be no election. Even the pious Ode Mull, mem ber oi the Legislature from Clyde Hoey’s county of Clevlaod has thrown up his hands and says he cannot get a bill through the Leg islature prohibiting the sale of wine and beer, in Clevland although the ministers and a majority of the good people of that couniy asked for such a law. Mull pretends that he can’t eveA &<*t a bill through prohibiting old soaks from bringing a gallon of the ardent into that county. Of course he is plsying to he Iiqor crowd and could get these laws through if he wonld half try. It is passing strange how the wet crowd get such a hold on the Leg islature and can. even make them pass a bill in the small hours of the morning establishing liqor stores in ■he stnte over the . protest o‘ thousands of citizens. But with a man at the head of the Nation who is dripping wet and another one at the head of the state government who went up atid down the state in 1928 and tried to ram the wet Aj Smith down their throats wliat more can we expect of a little two by-four member of the Legislature? —Union Republican.

Farmer On Short End According to a report of tie bureau of agricultural economics in Washington, the farmer’s share of the dollar paid by consumers of food in 1938 was only 40 cents. However, this was not the lowest in history. Records for other years show that after this federal price compiliatiou on f fty-eight different foods began in <913, an average cf 53 cents of the consumer's food dollar went to the farmer iu the next two years Lowest point was readhed in 1932 when the farmer received an average of only 33 cents of the food dol'ar: Iu 1931 he re ceived 38 cents. Mark Careless Drivers Believing that one way to check auto accideut is to mark cars owned by dangerous drivers, Mayoi Fred Huester, of Scranton, Pennsylvania has ordered the painting of circles on all autos involved in accidents.

Such markings not only wi'.l serve as a warning to give the marked cars plenty of room, but will b e -a constant reminder to offending drivers of their reckless The Prodigal Unde. (Jacob Wethje. in Utica Daily Press ) .To Uncle Sam and to those who nanags his affairs, I owe my alle- -Iaice. I am loyal to all that is 'rOd,'but as a stockholder in com- non PrOpertyf I claim the right to m int to th \t which is wrong. Uncle Sam, as the present' pre sent proprietor of a large fa.m, is <ot using his inheritance in the vay-our forefathers did. Almost Veefrom debtw henhe t"ok cop-* trol, he has mortaged to nearly half Jts worth, all he inherited. His lephews, many in num'-er, are 'rowing cotton; others sow wheat; ithers raise corn, while many make 1 living hy milking cows, and others •urn cotton into cloth, wheat into flour and milk into products which we all use. E xceptfortea or coffee and a few other items,, this farm is, or shoutd be self-snpporting No other nnn ever fell heir to such a fortune, and no ohter family of farm child ren shonld be so happy. But are we? This farm manager tells bis workers that they must use less acreage for crops, and he himself supervises the selling of milk. He c'aims that the loss - iu production will be more than made up by gains in sales prices. Al! this might be true if Sam would fix his fences and not allow outside farmers to bring in their produce free and set at naught our effoits toward crop control, as to quanity and price. In fact, Uncle Sain is not a very good business man, for he ge»s his fingers burp ed eveiy time lie has dealings with the on'siders. He has sold in the oast and is now selling on credit, goods to outside bankrupt farmers who do not intend to pay, or goods in exchange for products of which we have plenty, thereby depriving h:s own family of a chance to work and produce. In the growing of crons, Uncle Sam is a great success Btit in the selling for cash ot things we do rot need or in the exchanging with other farmers for things wedo need, or in pro'ecting his farm against using a dump for goods that other farmers do not want,—in short, as a salesman who can hold his own with otner farmers in jh i Jptn mtricet, Uncle is a sad 'ailure. Mexico is thumbing its nose at our manager by confiscation of oil property and is sending cotton free across the Rio Gratide into our already overstocked market. Cuba is sending sugar over or under out taiiff w al\ To improve trade relations with ' South American farmers who have no mouey, Uncle Sam is thinking of lending t'lem n fiw million s > they may be aole !<■ buy our goods - w th our m one'. Canada is much too smait for our Uncle, buying from us, not with cash, those articles they read am: is paving for them with articles wr could do without.. On our recent large whett dt«; with England our Uncle pro>>ali! S lid for less than cost of prodnciioi to a ni tion already in default on past payments. But what of Uncle Samf Just a ragged as during the w a’. Deva uing the dollar did not help him. Regimentation of work or its pay as to hours proved a taiiure. Collec - ing the bill ons due hin has beer impossible. So he still stands 01 the shore looking east and v/aitihg for the down of a better day as a poof (although rich) much abused old men.

HUNTING More BUSINESS Waste, Waste Every where. ‘ (Bernarr MacFadden ) W i are an extravagant people. Waste is the order of the day. Colos* sal expenditures which do not in any way represent stable investments are clearly apparent in many parts of the country. We are not only facing the cost of this huge unnecessary expense, bat the youth of the country, has been, demoralized,* emasculated by this unnecessary squandering of the na tion’s wealth RuIief has been extended in many- sections in such a prodigal manner that many families are receiving an i icome gte.ter than they ever earn* e i before. Snch imprudent expenditures are bound to end in disaster. There is rnly one way to learn the value of meney, and that is to be compelled to earn it and to save ~ it for future needs or fur the building up of a fund for carrying out plans for living a life of achievement. And when we realize that the bil lions of dollars spent by the Wash ing government in the last few years have been handled by men who have had little or no experience in build ing fortunes of their own, you ran well realize the coatly errors that must have been'made with such a- mateur in charge. Previous to the president’s to his high office he very clearly indicated that relief should be in the hands of the officials of each state. There was no thought at that t<me that billions would be donated by con ga ess to be spent at the president's dictation. There is only one intelligent proce dure in handling relief with a rea sonable degree of economy. Local coir munities should have entire charge of relief expenditures, and the officials who are handling this money should not be donated . . , they should work because of their interest in feeding the hungry .... they should give their services to the needy, and every dollar spent should •vj donated. If such a procedure had been adopted, the amount of money spent for relief would probably have been reduced by 50 or 75 per cent. In some sections of this country, although there mav be hundreds of thousands of unemployed, jobs often zo bagging and farmers and indus trialists are unable to secure work ers because of the competition of charity j >bs and the dole.

Hale took a few more turns around the room. “Try to understand,” she contin ued steadily. She was quite her self again—cool, composed, patient with him. “I was fighting for the little I had in life, for the little I had ever had, for the little I wanted. I can’t live on without Ruth. Life would be too hideously lonely. When you came and began to interfere I' got desperate. When you put Joan in the doctor’s hands and stopped the milk I got reckless.

I picked up a glass, as R thatw asw hatT was after, and went out of the pantry. Several times, when the doses were due, the milk went up to. Joan’s room be fore I had a chance to prepare it. The first time that happened I used my master-key and went into Joan’s room during the night. She woke. I was- going to say I had come to dose the windows because I was afraid of a storm. Bui I was star tled and got out. I didn’t dare to risk going again till tonight. Then I had to add the mercury to the water bottle, since you had stopped the milk. I thought Jane had acted rather queer, when Rose said no more milk must be sent up. It was odd, too, that she and Rose kept so quiet about Daisy’s death. I began to suspect that they were watch ing me, but I don’t think they really were.” She stopped a moment, as if turn ing this over in her mind. “T hen- well, you had stopped , the heroin and Ruth said she was through with it," she continued. “She told me she had about decided to go to Mrs. Stuyvesant this fall. I thought I’d go crazy when she said that.” “I see.” Hale had stopped before her again and was: staring down at her. . “I don'.t think I did Joan much harm,” she ventured. “She’s been improving so fast these last weeks. She couldn’t have been much—” she sought for the word, “undermined,” she brought out. “That’s why you .made tonight’s visit—to hurry the finish, Miss Ho sanna." “Yes. I had to do what I could quickly.” “To do what you could. Miss Hosanna!” He threw up his hands with a ges ture of desperation. There was an other silence. Then Hale said abruptly, ‘Tm going to m arry Joan, Miss Hosanna.. I’m going to marry her right off. I think she needs me.” : Miss Hosanna nodded. “I thought you would m arry her,” she said dully. She added, “That’s one reason why I felt hurried and reckless. You see, everything was pushing me at once.” “Yes, I see, all right. Now, listen to me. Looking at you, Miss Ho sanna,” Hale went on, “and listen ing to you sitting there and talking as if you were at an afternoon tea, I could strangle you. My fingers are itching to do it. But my brain tells me you are not wholly respon sible. You’ve been badly treated. You have brooded over your wrongs till you have become obsessed by them. Perhaps many women would be, who had gone through your ex perience. I don’t know. I’m not judging you. But I don’t want you around my wife.” Miss Hosanna’s gray head, with its incongruous covering of sleeping net and pins, rose higher. “I expect to go away, of course,” she retorted. “I will go away at once—within a day or two.” “Yes,” Rex agreed dully, “that will be necessary. Where will you go?” “How can I tell?” Her head drooped and she stared down at the floor. “You aren’t giving me much time to make plans. If I had the money I would go to California.” Suddenly her features twisted. “I’m tired,” she muttered. “I want to rest somewhere. Then I’ll look for a position.” Hale, who had been standing be fore the window, looking unseeingly at the water, turned and came back to her. “I will persuade your brother to allow you a living income," he said in a leyel voice, “and to give you money now to get to California. I think that will be the best place. It’s a long distance away. Away from everything.” She sighed. “You shouldn’t be so cruel. You have your life before you, and you will get everything you want. But you’re young. You can’t understand. You ought to understand one thing, though,” she hurried on. “My broth er will not give me one penny. He’ll never forgive me, either. He’s real ly devoted to Joan.” “He won’t know he has anything to forgive.” Hale spoke in a low voice. As she started and stared at him in credulously, he went on. “We will keep this matter between you and me, Miss Hosanna. I can’t see that anything would be gained by telling your family about it.. They would never get over it. It would affect them in lots of ways. It might make them morbid and suspicious of ev eryone. It might change their whole on the wrong track but she had tried to warn him, notwithstanding her theories. He was grateful to Mrs. Spencer Forbes for that. “Go to bed now ’ and get some sleep,” he said to Miss Hosanna. “You’re going to have a busy week.” As he spoke he crossed the room, unlocked the door and threw it open. She walked past him in silence, but her step was as quick and her head and shoulders as erect as ever. Just so, he reflected as h e . watched her, would HOsanna Kneeland have walked to the electric chair, if she Joan nodded, flushed. outlook on life.” He ended firmly, “They must never know.” “But — how — can — we — man age?” the words were so low he hardly heard them. “You’ll say you’ve had a break down, and that you need rest and change. I’ll see that Kneeland makes you a decent allowance. Trust me for that.” “You won’t even tell Joan?” “Joan least of all. No one will ever know, Idiss Hosanna. You may count on that.” He turned his eyes away from her brightening face. “I suppose I have no moral sense,” he muttered. “I’ve never believed in the eye for an eye busi ness—especially in cases where no eye has been lost. If you had killed Joan I could have watched you go to the electric chair, fill right. As it is, well—that’s something different. I let Craig off because we didn’t want family skeletons rattling in the closets. In his way he was as bad as you. I feel about you as I did about him. At times, as I listened to you tonight, I was almost sorry for you. Then I’d realize again what’s so damned hard to take in. This isn’t a nightmare, but an actu al fact .... It’s happening . . . Oh, well—” He made a gesture of futility and went on in a different tone. “I’ll talk to your brother tomor row and I’ll arrange Ihe income matter satisfactorily. You may de pend on it.” Her momentary look of relief was gone. She sat twisting her hands, her eyes on the floor.. Hale did not look at her. He could not endure another flash of relief against that ghastly back ground. “Later, after a year or two,” he told her, “you can write your broth er that you intend to live in Cali fornia indefinitely. I am quite certain he will have no objections to such a plan.” “Thank you. I think you mean to- be merciful." She got up and came toward him with outstretched, shaking hands, but he quickly stepped back out of her reach. “Please don’t touch me," he said. “I couldn’t stand that. You can count on me to put everything through, though. I suppose I can count on you to—to—” . “To be different hereafter?" she asked under her breath. “Yes, you can.” He interrupted her. “Does Mrs. Spencer Forbes realize what's been going on?” “Ruth! Good God, no. She must never know.” Notwithstanding his first recoil she caught his arm and dung to him. “She has. been watching you,” he pointed -out. “She has been worried about me. She has seen that something was wrong. She was watching Bert, too. She was suspicious about Bert—be cause she knew he’d get Joan’s money. She warned me about him. She thought—Rex, you. will never let her know, will you?” He released his arm and moved away from her. “I won’t let her know,” he said dully. He was recalling Mrs. Spen cer Forbes’ words. She had been had been forced to make that dark journey. “It isn’t every young man that can walk into a house, be the life of a house-party, and disrupt an entire family circle and its guests, all within two months,” Hale boast ed to his bride a fortnight later. They were on an ocean liner bound for France and a month’s honey moon. , “It was a pretty thorough job, darling,” Joan agreed. “You oust ed Doctor Craig and Mr. Ainsworth. You married me. You got Uncle Cass and Bert nicely settled in ;a cool New York penthouse, with Jane and Banks to look after them. You even hustled poor old Aunt Hosanna off to California for a long rest- cure. You certainly have been a busy boy. I suppose you’re really what’s called a ‘god in the ma chine.’ Just how does it feel to play with other peoples’ lives like that?” “I’m glad the game is over,” Rmc admitted soberly. Joan looked at him in surprise. It wasn’t like him to be serious. “Didn’t it strike you that Aunt Ho sanna was strangely calm for a nervous wreck?” she asked after a moment’s silence. “That reflection occurred to me a few times.” 'Rex nodded. “I suppose she was relieved to have her responsibilities off her shoulders,” he suggested. “Your Aunt Hosanna, my love, has had a pretty raw deal all her life.” Joan nodded and flushed. “It’s one of the things I shall al ways be ashamed of,” she admit ted. “I can’t understand yet why we were so blind and selfish. That’s why I added two thousand a year to the paltry fifteen hundred Uncle Cass settled on her. You must teach me to think more of others, dar ling.” “We’ll both try to do a bit of that,” Hex said, “as a thank-offer ing for being so happy in a pretty grim old world. But just for the present, Heart of my Heart,” he added cheerfully, “you may concen trate on thinking of me!” (THE END) G o o d C r i c k e t B a ll s M a y L a s t f o r 1 ,0 0 0 R u n s i n P e r f e c t C o n d i ti o n Every time you play with a crick et ball you are handling an article of romance and ancient, almost un changed, industry. The birthplaces of approximately 250,000 cricket balls manufactured annually in this country, says London Tit-Bits mag azine, are still mainly devoid of much machinery, yet their construc tion requires some of the world’s most skilled craftsmanship. Often it is handed down for gen erations, and at Teston, near Maid stone, famous hamlet of cricket ball manufacture, workers now frequent ly occupy the places, of their fathers and grandfathers in the factory. Cork from the Spanish and Portu guese forests, worsted spun in the Midlands and north, specially se lected and prepared milk-white English hides, gold so valuable that the sweepings of the room in which it is used are sifted for its dust, and great ton-weight pressing ma chines for the balls, are some of the necessities. The manufacture is a long and intricate process, be ginning with the secret dyeing .of the hides, occupying a . fortnight. Each strip is cut into quarters, di vided into two, which are joined with invisible stitches. Attached tightly together the two cup-like cov ers are blocked on a gunmetal mold and the case reinforced with small pieces of leather. Cricket balls! centers are molded with one inch-wide piece of cork, bound with worsted, to which, when ball-shaped, are added more alter nate cork and worsted binding until it is a rounded ball of the required weight. It is then hammered in a recessed mold. With a powerful vice exerting the pressure of tons, the two edges of the little ball are brought to meet, and the expert worker joins them in usually three rows of minute and intricate stitches.' As many as 95 stitches are often required. , Clamp molds then deal with the ball until it is perfectly shaped, only needing to be inspected once again, stamped with the real gold, and sold. Lives of first-grade cricket balls are long. In first-class cricket a new ball may be called for when 200 runfi have been scored, but they often stand 1,000 runs in perfect condition. It depends* on the way you use them, and the wickets on which they are played. W o r l d M a y H a v e B e e n W i t h o u t B u g s f o r 6 0 M i l li o n Y e a r s , S c i e n t i s t s S u sp e c V Was this an almost buglegs world for about 60,000,000 years? One of the enigmas of paleontology is that so few insect remains have been found in rocks of the Cretaceous geologic period which just preceded the coming of mammals, birds and flowering, plants, says a writer in the Chicago Daily News. The Cretaceous was a time of abundant life. It was the Jieydey of the great dinosaurs. The Juras sic period which preceded it was notable for the abundance and vari ety of its insects. Yet up to the present practically none has been found, except for one locality in Germany, In Cretaceous rocks. There is no known reason why there shouldn’t have been insects. Abundant before, they became abundant again in the succeeding Eocene and have remained one of the dominant forms of life on earth ever since. Cretaceous climates were propitious for them. There was plenty for them to eat, ’ It is, of course, only by a rare accident that insect imprints ever are preserved as fossils. But there are such vast numbers of “bugs” that even the rare accidents be come rather numerous. Smithsonian institution paleontol ogists are loath to believe that there actually were few Cretaceous insects. The probability is that there are plenty of fossil imprints which haven’t been found In spite of in tensive search. While this condition remains, however, there is essentially a 60,- *00,000-year gap in the life story of <me of the dominant forms of ani mal life. Hence any sort of Creta ceous insect fossil is like the rarest sort of gem in the eyes of the pale ontologist. Hence special signifi cance is attributed to two wing prints which have come into the Smithsonian collection from a Cre taceous sandstone in eastern Colo rado which have been tentatively classified by Paul W. Oman of the department of agriculture. ' Both are “bugs.” A bug, in the terminology of the entomologist, has the restricted meaning of a “heter- opterous hemipterous” insect; and the word is correctly used In ref erence to the bedbug, the stinkbug, chinch bugs, and the Uke. Closely related are the hoppers) mealy bugs and the rest One of the creatures described by Mr. Oman was a giant leaf hopper. It was bigger than the average of this family now extant and nearly as large as the largest. The other, described from a smaller fragment of wing impression in the sand stone, was probably closely related to the present-day squashbug and not far distant from the bedbug or stinkbug. It is hardly conceivable that these two fragments and a few more like them are all the trace left behind them of the'biUions of billions of insects which must have infested the .Cretaceous landscapes.

Houston Goudiss Offers Practical Help in Planning Meals That Avoid Hidden Hunger; Illustrates Right and Wrong Methoducff Menu Building B y C. HOUSTON GOUDISS GENERATION ago, homemakers approached the prob lem of feeding their families with but two objectives: to put weight on their children and to send adults away from the table with their appetites appeased. If Ihe child failed to gain satisfactorily, or if his teeth were crowded and sub ject to decay, he was said to “take after his Uncle Abner” or perhaps to have inherited®- A the poor teeth of his maternal grandriiother. And if adults Were chronically tired or suf fered from “nerves,” that, too, was blamed on circum stances that had nothing to do with the diet. No one bad ever heard of hid den hunger! For nutritionists had not yet startled the world by demon strating that food may satisfy the ap petite and yet fail to feed . . . that the absence of mi nute amounts of minerals and vita mins may be re sponsible for a long train of deficiency diseases w h ic b cause untold mis ery and are responsible for men tal and physical inefficiency. Planning Meats Scientifically Today we know that a definite relationship exists between food consumption and bodily activity, and that normal individuals can usually control body weight by regulating the amount of fuel foods in the diet. We know that minerals and vitamins play a pow erful part in building and main taining sound teeth as well as healthy nerves; and that we can build resistance to disease, defer old age, and even lengthen the span of life by choosing our food, not merely for its appetite appeal, but for the qualities that contrib ute toward what nutritionists term a balanced diet. The Balanced -Diet Every modern homemaker therefore owes it to her family not to plan meals at random, but to take into consideration the seven factors that science has deter mined to be essential for top health. These include: protein for building and repairing body tissue; carbohydrates to produce quick heat and energy; fats, a more compact form of fuel; min erals, which serve both as build ers, and as regulators of body processes; vitamins A, B, C, D, E and G, .which act as regulators, and help to prevent the various de ficiency diseases; water, which serves as a vehicle by which food is carried to the tissues, and cellu lose or bulk, required for the nor mal functioning of the intestinal tract. A Day's Food Plan The various food essentials will be supplied if the three -daily meals include a quart of mifir for every child, a pint for each adult, which may be served as a bever age, with cereals, in soups, sauces or made into desserts; an egg daily, or at least three or four weekly; one serving of meat, fish or chicken, usually at the main meal of the day;, a second protein food, such as cheese, baked beans or nuts, usually served at lunch or supper; two vegetables besides potatoes, one of which should be of the raw, leafy variety; two servings of fruit, and at least one serving of a whole grain cereal. By adhering to this plan, you will help to supply your family with the necessary proteins, min erals, vitamins and cellulose. Fuel foods may be added by way of breadstuffs, macaroni, rice and other cereals; butter or margarine and the fats used in cooking. Common Errors in Menu Planning Common mistakes in menu plan ning are a concentration of too many proteins or carbohydrates in one meal; the failure to include adequate bulk by way of fruits, .vegetables and .whole-grain cere als; and the massing in one meal of too many foods that are high In fat. The following menu, for exam ple, contains more protein than necessary, and too little bulk, yet it is typical of the dinners served in many homes: Hamburger Steak, Baked Beans, Potatoes, Stewed Corn, Custard Pie. Since both m eat and baked beans are rich in protein, they may well be served at separate meals, as indicated by either of the following combinations: Ham burger Steak, Creamed Potatoes, String Beans, Lettuce Salad, Fresh or Cooked Fruit. Or, Baked Beans, Stewed Tomatoes, Cabbage Salad, Custard Pie. In the first menu, the beans, po tatoes, com and pastry are all high carbohydrate foods. To pro vide additional bulk, as well as to reduce the amount of carbo hydrate, it would be advisable to serve a green vegetable such as string beans, and choose fruit in stead of pie for dessert. It is as sumed, of course, that eggs would be given in some other form dur ing the day. Since baked beans contain both protein and carbohydrate, we omit potatoes in the third menu, and serve a food rich in vitamin C— the tomatoes, and add a bulky raw vegetable by way of the salad. It's Balance That Counts It requires no more time or ef fort to. prepare nutritionally cor, rect meals than those which lack balance, nor is it more expen sive. For elaborate meals can lack .balance, if they are deficient ir( minerals, vitamins and bulk, while those composed of such simp!* foods as bread and milk, anq stewed fruits may provide aij abundance of the protective sub* stances which satisfy the hidden hunger of the body. My plea to homemakers is to give less thought to the prepara tion of elaborate recipes, and more thought to supplying the food values that will create abundant health and vitality. In that way, I believe we shall take a real step forward in human progress. Cl—WKtX—C.

Here’s hoping that the best men will be elected to fill the- e important offices. The town elec tion will be held on Tuesday, May 2nd. There are two demorr .t c candidates in the race for mayo>, and there may be a, dozen demo crats in the race forcommissioners before election day. According ..to latest reports there are still more than ten million peo ple out looking for jobs, not count ing those on the Piddlers Aid. M '.

Well, the liquor was legal ized, but the budget wasn't 1-al.inc.d and ten million people are sli’l walking tbe streets looking for a job. A t this distance from the 1940 democratic or New Deal Conven tion, it seems that Hon." John Nance Garner has a pretty go )d chance to receive the nomination for presi dent. There is some talk of James Farley, but the ' democrats . know that the American ptop’e will not elect Mr. Farley.

Forget, if you can, all the marvelous frosty salads, frozen pud dings, chilled bouillons, icy drinks it makes. And forget its convenience, and the protection it ofters by keeping food and milk so fresh and wholesome. Let’s just look at any adequate refrigeration from a strictly business standpoint—size it up purely as a wise INVESTMENT! Count up the vegetables, the fruit the meat, the butter that adequate refrigeration keeps from being wasted. That is THRIFT. Count up the many intriguing delicacies you can make, from bits of this and that left over from yesterday’s dinner. The lettuce, celery . . all the leafy green things that it keeps from wilting. That is THRIFT! Count up the scores of dainty inexpensive frozen desserts that it will help you make, the bottles of milk and cream that it keeps from souring. That is THRIFT! The very day you pay your few dollars down you begin to enjoy the benefits of your electric refrigerator. Isn’t that THRIFT?

S t a r D u s t ★ Charlie Is Taken Dotvn ★ Politics Prom otes Ann ★ Orchestra Leaders AU — By Virginia Vale — PEOPLE in New York are still talking about Charlie McCarthy’s first week there. In fact, a new aristocracy iprun'g into being; its mem bers were the people who had actually gone to the first b ro a d c a s t (tic k e ts w ere scarcer than hen’s teeth), and they are still high-hatting their friends who couldn’t get in, and running perfectly good luncheons and dinner parties by insisting on telling about how cute Charlie is.“You simply have to see him to appreciate him,” they declare, which is rather hard- on the people who have never seen Charlie and probably won’t get a chance, as Edgar Bergen is too busy for per sonal appearances. Charlie’s kidnaping, one evening, by the amusement editor of one of the newspapers, very nearly stirred up a lot of trouble. The famous little man is insured for $2,500. Bergen was so worried that after Charlie’s reappearance he took to taking Charlie apart and hiding him in sections. Ann Sheridan has sort of crept into stardom by the back door, al though she deserves the promotion. It’s "Naughty but Nice” that stars jier, and studio politics are involved. For this is Dick Powell's last for ANN SHERIDAN W arner Brothers, and it’s an old ,studio custom to play down the de- jparting star, since advertising him just means that you’re promoting property that will soon belong to somebody else. I So the charming and hard-work ing Ann gets big billing in this one, after five years of doing her best with whatever roles came her way. : Katherine Hepburn is doing very well indeed in her new theatrical venture, “The Philadelphia Story,” although it has not, at this writing, been given the acid test of presen tation in New York. Apparently Miss Hepburn still cherishes some jaffection for the screen; she has bought the film rights to the play and will do it herself before the cameras eventually. I Nowadays it seems that every body who can’t get a job feels that jthe answer to the unemployment problem is becoming an orchestra leader. Prize fighters, millionaires, tap-dancers, movie stars—all are more than willing to step in front of a band and wave a baton. But it’s a rare thing for a man who works with his hands to become an orchestra leader—Russ Morgan is about the only exception to the rule. He’s an ex-coal miner, you know. He worked in the Nanticohe Mine, near Scranton, Pa., until the fore man fired him for playing a trom bone in his spare time. The fore man happened to be his father. Today he is one of the top bracket orchestra leaders. Before he was twenty-one he had written arrange ments for such famous musical men as John Phillip Sousa and Victor Herbert. — * — If you’re considering writing for radio here’s something to remem ber.

Much more so than the av erage youth his age, which is 19. Imperturbable and unemotional, the youngster has been the subject of more publicity pieces than any pitcher of his age in the history of the game. So far this spotlight hasn’t dazzled him in the least. Most of the stuff'written about the Seattle youth has been in superla tive praise. One author gave him the “pitching magic of Christy Mathewson in his right arm.” An other article was titled “The ‘Noth ing Ball’ No One Can Hit.” Hutchinson still has to prove him self in big league competition. Un- FRED HUTCHINSON questionably his admirers had very worthy motives in heaping praise on his head. But they also succeed ed in putting the boy on the spot. To live up to his publicity would re quire the skill of a genius. If he fails it will be largely the fault of his friends who have built him up into a pitching juggernaut. He will need all his composure and steadiness. American league wits are practicing for Hutchinson. A high-priced and highly publicized player, he offers a fair target for their “riding.” And they won’t be gentle when they start'ribbing him about his "nothing ball” and his “magical right arm.” Best in Minors? Termed the greatest pitcher in the minor leagues last year, Hutchin son’s claim to that distinction—or rather his friends’ claim to that hon or for him—can be disputed. Paul Trout, Sandcut, Ind., idol, won 22 games and lost 6 in the Texas league. Hutchinson won 25 and lost 7 in the Pacific Coast league. Trout’s victories were gathered in three and one-half months of play while Hutch inson’s were compiled in six months of competition. All in all, Trout’s record for the year was the more formidable. Nevertheless, Hutchinson is a great ball player. He was beaten only once as a high school pitcher, twice as an American- Legion pitch er, twice while hurling Lfor Yakima and seven times last year. That is a great record. His immediate future would be in less doubt if the superlative praise would come to a sudden end. Few things are as harmful to a young athlete as extravagant, over-done acclaim. His personal cheering sec tion would do well to soft pedal its applause until the season is under way.

Court Puzzler D ASK1?TBALL’S rnles manipu- O iators soon may be faced with another task—that of devising some method to make goal tending illegal. As the rules now stand any unusu ally tall player can station himself beneath the basket and with no more than a slight jump bat opponents’ shots away from the danger zone. This was thoroughly demonstrated daring the past season by Mike No vak, six-foot-nine-inch center of the Loyola university team in-Chicago. The altitudinous Mike stationed him self under the basket and when the opposition shot from outside he would merely raise his long right arm, jump about two and a half feet off the floor, and flip the ball away. Novak’s contribution wasn’t only to the defensive side. His tremen dous height enabled him to tally something better than 10 points a game to Loyola’s total. Officials and fans are generally agreed that too great a premium is placed on height. It gives a player an almost unsurmountable advan tage, demoralizing members of the opposing team. On the other hand they argue that it isn’t fair to pena lize a player because he happens to reach nearer the clouds than his fel- low-athletes. There isn’t quite as much danger in the situation as is seen on the surface. A majority of abnormally tall athletes are physically handi capped in that they are often slow, awkward and a trifle freakish. This. is not true of Novak. Nat Holman, the old Celtic hero and for 20 years coach of City College basketball, calls Novak a fine athlete and the best college player he has ever seen. The argument is one that can stay fresh for years. And it is doubtful if the rules committee will take dras tic action on the question in the very near future. Plus One Willie Tarnesa "W IL L IE TURNESA, national ■vv golf champion, recently was singled out for the Metropolitan Golf association’s top honors when he was ranked at plus one in the honor role of leading mashie wielders. Wee Wjjlie, the only amateur member of the famous Turaesa golf ing fa m ily , re ceived the highest ranking e v e r ac corded a New York player, indicating that in the eyes of... officialdom W illie is a stroke better than par every time he tees off. Tbe Metropolitan G olf Association’s ratings are sport’s slipperiest pole. It’s even harder to stay there. A ranking golfer has to pro duce in tournaments to keep his place. In addition to the plus rating of Turnesa, there are three players rated at scratch, despite the slip of Ray Billows, who was dropped one stroke. At scratch are Frank Straf- aci, who defeated Turnesa in the metropolitan amateur championship final at Ridgwood, N. J.; Dick Chap man, amateur darkhorse, and John Burke, handicapped by M. G. A. for the first time. Burke captured the intercollegiate championship in Louisville, Ky. That feat shouldn’t be underestimat ed, however, as Turnesa failed to turn the same trick in three years of effort. Bracketed in the two stroke handi cap are E. H. Driggs, Tommy Good win, John Parker, Mark Stuart, Jess Sweetser and Charles White, head. No. I Contender 'T'ONY GALENTO, the animated beer vat from Newark, has re tained his National Boxing associa tion ranking as the No. I heavy weight title. challenger. Association records show that Joe Triner, Illinois committeeman, vot ed to leave vacant the No. I post which the N. B. A. first awarded the New Jersey heavyweight last year. Two-Ton Tony’s high ranking posi tion carries little glory with it. He’s merely been designated as top man of a particularly nnimpressive se lection of challengers. Committee members did not take themselves too seriously when they designated Tony to lead the list. They made it elear that Tony cannot be con sidered a very grave threat to Champion Joe Louis. Heavyweight boxing’s sorry state of affairs is evidenced by the first 10 ranking fighters. In 'addition to Galento the committee ranked, in order, Bob Pastor, Lou Nova, Max Baer, Red Burman, Maurice Strick land, Nathan Mann, Roscoe Toles, Johnny Paycheck and Tony Musto. Divisions other than heavyweight show a great deal more class. In the light heavyweight class Cham pion John Henry Lewis is followed by Melio--Bettina; Dave. Clark and Billy Conn, in first, second and third places, respectively. Finishing out the list of 10 are Ron Richards, Gus Lesnevich, Len Harvey, Jock Mc- Avoy, Tiger Terry Warrington, Ed die Wenstob and Joe Wagner. Top middleweights are Solly Krie- ger, champion; Freddie Apostoli, Al Hostak, Walter Woods, Ceferino Garcia, Teddy Yarocz; Fred Hen- neberry, Eric Seelig, Attilio Saba- tino, Tony Zale and Gene'Buffalo.

His long, big nose is perfectly cut, too, and not a hair is out of place in the thinning pompadour that roaches back from a domed forehead. This is not, however, to hint that the undersecretary is any thing less than 100 per cent American. He was born in New Tork City 46 years or so ago. President Roosevelt's own Gro ton and Harvard shaped him, and he is at home in four or five clubs that insist on looking up candidates in the Doomsday book of the Revolution of '76. His church, naturally, is the Episcopal church, and his home now is understandably in histor ic Maryland, where two sons are no doubt also preparing for Groton.

HAROLD L. LUNDQUISTt Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union, - Leuon for April 16 I-Iitjson subjects and Scripture texts w* anJ copyrighted by International permisii RelIgioua Education; used by PAUL ESTABLISHES CHURCHES LESSON TBXTj-A cts 14:1-7. 19-23.GOl P e N TEXT—According to the grace of God which Is given unto me, as a wise master-builder. I have laid the foundation, and another buUileth thereon. But let every man take heed Bow be buildeth thereupon. —I Corinthians 3:10. “Onward, Christian soldiers,” says the well-known hymn, Uius ex pressing the truth that Christianity is engaged in a relentless warfare against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Those who concei%’e of their relationship to the church as a convenient and comfortable so cial arrangement, with a bit of spiritual flavor but no responsibility, have none of the Spirit of Christ, or of His bondservant Paul, whose life we are now studying. Phillips Brooks was right when he said, “If Christian faith does not culminate in the effort to make Christ known to all the world, that faith appears to me to be a thoroughly unreal and insignificant thing, destitute of pow er, and incapable of being convinc ingly proved to be true.” The constraining love of Christ sent Paul and his co-workers press ing on fropi Cyprus to Antioch in Pisidia, to 1Iconium, to Lystra, and to Derbe. Joy and sorrow, fellow ship aiid hatred aame and went, but the witness for Christ went on. Our lesson can best be considered as a study in contrasts. I. Belief and Unbelief (w . I, 2). “Multitudes both of the Jews and . . . Greeks believed.” What joy that must have brought to the preacher. “Unbelieving Jews” and Gentiles with “minds evil affected” —how sad such a result made Paul’s heart. The same division prevails today.' There are only two kinds of people in the world, the believer and the unbeliever. H. Popnlarify and Persecution (v. 4). “The multitude was divided,” Paul knew all about that, so does every faithful teacher and preacher iof the gospel. Paul and Barnabas were thus made ready for the ex perience which they were to have at Lystra where the healing of the crippled man first brought them worship as gods, and then bitter persecution. Few temptations are more appealing to the Christian worker than popularity, and possi bly none is more treacherous. Let us labor to please God, not men, and when men give us false acclaim let us like Paul urge them to “turn from these vanities to the living God” (v. 15). In . Boldness and Caution (w . 3, 5, 6 ). The persecution at Iconium only made the messengers bold in their purpose to stay on (v. 3), giving testimony to God’s grace. The Christian worker need not be afraid of the devices of evil men so long as God leads him to stand his ground. Christian testimony calls for courage! . But wait, in verses 5 and 6 we find the preachers fleeing to another city. > Is their courage gone? No. They are exercising God-given judgment and caution. “Sometimes it is needful to fling away your life for Jesus; but if it can be preserved without shirking duty it is better to flee than to die . . . A voluntary m artyr is a suicide . . . Heroic prudence should ever accompany a trustful daring, and both are best learned in com munion with Jesus” ' (Alexander Maclaren). IV. Death and Life (w . 19, 20). The persecution at Lystra culmi nated in the stoning of Paul and his being left for dead. Some believe that he really died and had the glorious experience recorded in II Corinthians 12:2-5 before he was raised by God from the dead. Be that as it may, God miraculously brought the dead or apparently dead man to full life and vigor, and on he went to the city of Derbe. Those of us who belong to Christ and serve Him should recognize that our very lives are in His blessed hand. Our purpose should be to glorify Him, whether by life or by death.V. Advance and Return (w . 21- 23).The work of God is not completed by the pioneering forward thrust into the strongholds of Satan. That work is necessary, and just now men are desperately needed to do such work in heathen lands. Wom en shame the men by their willing ness to go where missionary boards can only send men, who are all too often lacking. On the other hand, there is no more important work than that of confirming and establishing new Christians in their faith; Paul and Barnabas were not making a re treat. They were courageously re turning to the stoning and the hatred of the cities ..they had served in order to give counsel and encouragement to the believers. Note that they ordained elders, evi dently consummating some form of cfcurch organization. Sometimes one becomes so tired of intricate church machinery that the tendency .is to wistf there were none at all, but here again we need to be balanced in our thinking and acting. Suits of Glamorous Wools . Are Top Fashion for Spring By CHERIE NICHOLAS A N UP-TO-DATE wardrobe with- out a chic new suit? It just isn’t being done nowadays. AU fashiondom has gone wildly, deliri ously suit-mad this spring—which is your cue as to “what to wear” at this immediate moment. The fact that fashion is in a mood to suit you as you have-never been suited before should count a lot in your planning this spring. The thing that plays big in the glorifica tion of the new suits is the superbly colorful and intriguingly textured wool fabrics that challenge design ers to turn out a pageantry of suits that in the matter of variety and chic and . charm outrivals all pre vious showings so .far as we of the present generation are concerned. The new tweeds are captivating, especially the soft coarse meshy kind that are so eminently patrician in their now-so-stylish neutral oat meal tones, and in the smart honey- beige or in subtle grays that so appeal to discriminating taste. Some of these natural toned tweeds are flecked with multi-color which makes them even more alluring. It’s a stroke of genius to buy a new threesome ensemble which includes a skirt, jacket and long, topcoat for this many-piece interchangeable combination, together with a collec tion of blouses, measures up to clothes requirements for almost any daytime event. Then, too, later on the coat can be worn as a wrap over dainty summer frocks. We are illustrating just such a threesome (see the figure seated). This outfit is beautifully tailored of an imported tweed in soft heather mixture. It has a straight skirt and unusual shoulder detail. The shoul ders and lapels of the topcoat dupli cate those of the suit. The suit jacket is a one button type. The sailor hat is in a deep purple veiled to bespeak the femininity of the present mode. As to the new plaids, stripes and checks they play havoc with any tradition that a suit or coat is sup. posed to be modest and conserva tive. Suits of checked, striped or plaid- ed woolens have revolutionized the mode in that they are a far de parture from the classic navy or black monotones of yore. The fact that the plaid skirts are pleated also gives them the spring “look.” See the nifty plaid suit to the right in the illustration. It typifies the new trend perfectly. It is of imported tweed in soft yellow with crossbar of brown (smart color combination this season). The pleated, skirt stamps this suit with unmistakable chic. The pleats are stitched down around the hips for smooth slender izing line. The single-breasted jack et observes every rule of the game in matter of swank detail. Brown- suede sports hat with a wide scoop brim and brown alligator bag be speak utmost chic. As to the fetching little dressmak er jacket, suit it is with us in such numbers it would take an alert mind to keep tally of the number that pass a given moment at a given point, for the jacket suit is omni present in the style parade. The new jacket twosomes play up color combinations in amazing variations. Black wool crepe for the skirt topped with jacket in pale yellow with black piping describes the goodlooking model centered in the group. New details are the softly rolled collar,-high pockets and out side tucks around the waist. Awide brimmed Breton sailor with a quill across the crown is jaunty and very flattering to the wearer. © Western Newspaper Union. Veils and Veiling Are Omnipresent Veils and veiling are that omni present in the millinery mode., the eyes have to sight through yards and yards of veiling to discover the hat itself. To radiate the spirit of spring try tying a bright green veil over your new black or navy straw. Green veils are the “last word in chic.” It’s the proper thing to match the color of your veil to your gloves and other accessories. You will like the new hats made all of veiling. They are appealingly feminine and in their exquisite colorings they tune to spring most charmingly. The all- veiling hat (most often a little sailor) is made of twisted strands of the veiling or layer upon layer. To' add allude there are long streamer ends of the veiling to tie and twirl with provocative grace. Navy V ogue Steps To Fashion Front Contrasting the flamboyant plaids and stripes and gay prints now so much in vogue is' the navy vogue, which has stepped to the front. Suits with cunningly devised jackets, dresses with accompanying boleros and coats galore are neatly tailored of navy wools. The accessories may be either very colorful or follow the trend that calls for lingerie touches in iminaculate white. . . Object of.

Of Silk Shirting It's your play I And why not play Jn a sports dress of purple silk shirting striped in white, with self color simulated reptile belt, as here pictured? Speaking of silk for sports frocks, here’s another suggestion. If you: select a dress of dull-surfaced nubby silk noil, in the new olive green and off-white color, you will be all set. Complement this with a separate lumber jacket top. ADVENTUROUS AMERCANS Elmo Scott Watson A Frontier Paul Revere IAMES WATSON WEBB was the r famous editor of the New Vork Courier and Enquirer who also had a career as a politician and diplo mat. But he deserves more honor for a daring exploit Which he per formed as a young man on the Illi nois frontier. The scion of an old New York family, Webb ran away from home at the age of 17 and went to Washington where he persuaded John C. Calhoun, secretary of war, to give him a commission in the army. • In October, 1821, young Lieuten ant Webb was sent to join the garri. son at Fort Dearborn. In the mid dle of the winter John Kinzie, the Indian agent at Chicago, reported to the commander that the Sioux and Foxe Indians were plotting to surprise and massacre the garrison at Fort Snelling the next spring. - Colonel McNeil immediately called for volunteers to carry the news of the plot to Fort Armstrong (near Rock Island, 111.) so that word could be sent up the river to Fort Snelling. Lieut. Webb offered to make the journey. Accompanied by a sergeant and a Pottawatomie guide, he set out early in February. He Intended to go first to the ■post of a French trader on the Rock river and there secure a Win nebago guide. But when he reached the post he found the Winnebagoes holding war dances. So Webb and the sergeant cautiously circled around the camp and headed toward Fort Armstrong. * The weather was bitterly cold and the two men faced the danger of perishing in the raging blizzard. But in spite of this they reached Fort Armstrong in safety. As a result of their trip, the commander at Fort Snelling so reinforced his post that the Indians did not dare attack an4 a possible massacre was averted.• + • . A Safety-Minded Adventurer fP H E Colorado river was referred to as a ‘‘mysterious monster” until Maj. 3. W. Powell made, the first authentic survey of its canyons in 1869. It lured many daring ad venturers to their death both before and after his first expedition. Strangely enough, Powell was a scholar and not1 an adventurer by purpose. Even when he made his successful journey down the river, it was his methodical preciseness rather than engineering or navigat ing ability that brought success. The Colorado descends an average of more than eight feet each mile and makes this drop by a SerieS-Of rapids. It rages through canyons with perpendicular walls that often tower several thousand feet. Powell never ran into anything dangerous when he could avoid it. Being a geologist and not a naviga tor, he beached his boat and sent men along the cataract walls to re- connoiter the rapids ahead before he attempted to descend them. Pow ell’s methods were so successful that he is one of only a few who ever made expeditions down the Col orado without losing a single Ufe. He traveled the Colorado from the Green river in Wyoming to Virgin panyon below the Grand canyon, bringing back the first authentic in formation about that natural wonder. Although he was a professor of geology at Illinois Wesleyan univer sity and had had no navigating ex perience before his first venture, he designed boats that became models for Colorado river work. ' Major Powell was a paradox—a cautious man whose motto < was “safety first” and yet he was one of America’s greatest adventurers.• • • ‘King’ Strang IN 1847 James Jesse Strang—and 1 the first two names are in the proper order!—led a colony from Voree1 near LaCrosse, Wis., to the Beaver islands just west of Trav-. erse bay in Lower Michigan. There he set up a “kingdom” over which he ruled with an iron' hand. He was a picturesque figure with his flaming whiskers almost as red as the kingly robe be wore. Not only aid he dispense his own chiel brand of justice to the people in his colony but be constantly made war on the Irish fishermen on the mainland and often pillaged their homes. Finally he became so bold that President Fillmore issued a warrant for his arrest on a charge of treason for setting* up an inde pendent government within the Unit ed States. For some unknown rea son he was not found guilty and re turned to his “kingdom.” But his downfall -was not long in coming. He made a law that all women were to wear short skirts with baggy bloomers. .When, Mrs. Thomas' Bedford' refused, her hus band was flogged for upholding her refusal. This was a fatal mistake. For Bedford and another man who had been flogged at the same time, waylaid their hated mop.arch and shot him. He was taken back to die of bis wounds a t'Voree at.d the peo ple of his “kingdom” were driven away from their island by the in habitants of the Michigan mainland..® Wcatem Newmaper Union.

What Was Happening In Davie Before The New Deal Used Up The Alphabet, Drowned The Hogs and Plowed Up The Cotton and Corn. (Davie Record, April 16, 1919) Rufus Brown spent the week end with friends in Charlotte. Miss Martha Clement,. of . Wall- burg, spent the week-end in town with her lather. The friends of B. F. Hooper will be sorry to learn that he is suffer ing severely with sciatica The county commissioners have purchased a Waterloo Boy. tractor to be used in road work in the county. C. L. Thompson, Miss Florence Perry and others motored down to Charlotte Wednesday. The editor returned Thursday evening from a business trip to Asheville. Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Crawford and children spent Thursday afternoon in Salisbury shopping. E. P. Foster arrived home last Tuesday uight from SunnyFrance. We are glad to welcome Pierqe home again. Mr. and Mrs. Glegg Clement, Fred Clement and Miss Kopelia H unt, of Winston-Salem, spent the week end in town with home folks. C. H. H nnt arrived home Wed nesday from overseas. Cicero is looking fine, and his friends are glad to have him home again. Thos. L - Martin. , who is mana ger of the Williams veneer plant, at Sumter, S. C., spent a few days in town last week with his family. Rev.’V. M. Swaim, of Winston- Salem, will preach at the Baptist church Thursday night. Thomas, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Tbomas Stonestreet, of near Cana, died Sunday of whoop ing cough, and was buried Mon day at Union Chapel. • A number of the leading citizens of Advance were in town last week. Strange that they didn’t come un til they heard abont the blockade still found near the depot. Mrs. Clarence Transou and child ren left Monday for their new home in Robeson county a te r a three weeks stay, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A M .. Garwood, on Route 3. G. F. Swicegood, of R. 4, was In-town Saturday nursing a broken arm. While plowing with a disc plow last Tuesday, the plow turn, ed over, breaking his left arm just above the elbow. -Seargt. Thos. J. Swing, a mem ber of Hospital Unit ' 'O, ” arrived home Monday. Tom is looking fine after spending many months in France. Bruce Craven, an attorney of Trinity, and a son-in-law of M. R. Chaffin, of this city, has been ap pointed to a position in the judici ary department at Washington with the rank of Major. A. J. Anderson, Esx., of Cala- haln, tells us that he will be glad to have all the soldier' boys who marry come to him. He offers to perform the ceremony free of all costs and will travel a reasonable distance to officiate. Mr. Ander son also says he will pay 13 cents in cash for ail hawk heads brought to him. Charles Spurgeon Anderson, one of out Davie boys and a - member of the 119th-Infantry, is at home from France. 'He says we are not half as glad to have-him home as he is to be here. " ...... .- Oscar Rich,- who has been spend- ing some time with.Eis'family here while they were ill with flu;' has resumed his .; work, vCnd Ieft last week for Asheville and. other points in Western Carolina. The Demand For Eco nomy. Everydody is agreed that eco nomy in government is a desirable objective—whether it be national, state or local government. Bnt beacuse national spending is more spectacular and more extensive it is more impressive. And so interest is centered there. Representatives in Congress, listening to what is going on in the grass ro-.ts. hear citizens chanting stop this reckless spending” , and and right-off they relay this de mand to the President and his administrators. It is a serial story of buck-passing. Business tells the government at Washington that everything would be fine if only the government wonld balance its budget by lopping off its out go thereby lessening the need of Income. Inflnent'al mem bers of Congress more interested in a political issue . than they are in actually finding a way out, join in the chant. Business openly threat ens that it will engage in a sit-down stjke nntil this spending . ceases. Business doesn't want promises it wants performance But President Roosevelt, like Governor Hoey, is faced with the ‘everlast’ng practicalities” tbat cannot be waved aside. Where, he asks would you have us cut. Other administrations have worked in the closest harmony with business, yet Mr. Roosevelt 'n’lerited an army' of unemployed.. W bat is to be done with these millions of idle? The President says that if bnsi ness will employ more of these he will ask less money to keep them from starving. In effect, business says let some of them starve while government makes a noise like curtailed spending as a gesture to inspire business to believe that government means to co-operate. One thing is certain, the admin istrative branch of government can spend only wbat Congress giras it to spend—that much and no more. And Congress measures its giving by the urgent demands of the people who keep them in Washington. It follows, then, that if sprnding is stopped, the cutting must begin back at the crossroads and on Main Street where the demands for spen ding originates. No need for us to cuss Congressmen for spending in one breath, and petition them ’ to spend in another; no need for Congress to beat its breast about Roosevelt’s spending the money it gives him to spend. We need to get away from this buckpassing and down to the busi ness of making our boasted be mocracy work. And tbat is pos sible .only, through team work’ with each of us bearing our part of the load and sharing our part of the responsibilities.—Ex. The Old Oil Lamp. More farms getting electricity has led to more modern conven iences. In a recently added di strict where electricity has entered the homes, one woman remarked, ‘Thank heavens, we can do away with the dirty old oil lamp” . It recalls to many of us who use elec tricity today, the oil lamps of old, and' as we remember them they weten’t dirty. The 'oil lamps that were taken upstairs at night were brought down next morning to have the chimneys polished and and cleaned. Tbe wicks were ad justed and trimmed. This ! pro. cedure was a daily ritual. A news paper was used to remove the soof, and that was the task that-w as odious to the housewife. But as memory swings us back to the-' oil IamjKwe recall them as clear and ‘•homey’ ’.—Renfro Herold.' ‘ Land potters at thia office. Business Recession Con tinues As the Annalist puts it, “ The business recession continues, tho ugh at a leisurely pace.” Business is nowoperatiug at about the level of the edc of 1935. Time’s index stood at about 96 dnring a recenet week—as agai 1st 103 at the end of 1938, 105 at the end of 1937, and 118 at the end of 1936. - Yet the best commentators are not discouraged. ’ They point out tbat the bad. spots in the picture— the natiohal debt,. declining world trare, reduced agricultural incom?, high unemployment—are nothing new. As Ralph Robev o f. News week, observes, “ They were with as . throughout the extraordinary rise of business in the second half of last year.” And there are good ipots to be-seen—reduced inven tories in - most lines, steady com,- modity prices, prospects for. new secnriiy issues. As a result, the authorities cling almost 100 per cent to their p a st. prediction that April will mark the start of a strong upward-movement that will bring the iudexes to their highest point since depression, by the end of the year—or, failing that, to a point very near it. . Slackness in security sales is per haps, one of the worst of immediate factors. There has been no sharp, severe drop in values—it’s just that both quying and ,selling are at extremely low ebbs, Investors are playing close to' their belts.—Ex. A Threat to Democracy (Frank Rosser, Brookville, Kansas) I believe the American people as a whole will hold to the opinion that the threat to democracy does not exist 3,000 ..miles away; The preserving of democracy here does not mean medding in European affairs. The threat to democracy lies in the unsolved problems of our own country. The solving of our internal problems would be onr most powerful defense. His Business—What Is A man in a covered wagon, driv- ing through a Western town,' stop ped and hailed a man On the street. “ Hey. any saloons In this town?” he asked. “ Yes, four,” was the answer. “ Giddap,” said the stranger, moving on. “I can’t locate here, I ’ve got three boys in this wagon.” “Stop a minute!” . yelled the stranger, W hat’s vour business?” ‘‘My business is to save these boys,” came back the answer, as he disappeared around a bend in the road.—“ Kansas City Star.” Same Thing Here. When the gas tax was. first im posed on the people of Tennessee they were told that the funds, were to be used exclusively for the builds ing and maintenance of highways. That was considered a worthy object, but as the year have slipped away gas funds-have been diverted to many other UBes until today not one tenth of the money derived from 'this source is used on the highways could be raised with a tax of less than pne half cent per gallon, in stead of the seven cents that the ate is extracting from the aiitomo bile operators of Tennessee. Itis a serious matter, b u t like Mark Twain’s weather, nothing probably will will-be done about it, remarks the Newport Plain Talk.

Drink in jures my body, weakens my nerves, beluddles my brain, degrades mt spirit. Alcoholic drink is apt <r claim me with a habit so powerful that I cannot break' it. It makes me less of a man when it' takes possession of me. Alcoholie drink has a record extending back to the earliest pages of history telling me of how the finest and strongest have failed to win in the game of lift beacuse alcoholic drink got the best of them. You ask me why I beltevi in total abstinence? W hy, I believt in winning Iife!s game and there fore I am against everything tha' would prevent one from winning.

I can’t hold the record as the world’s best hurdler and either drink or smoke. You can be sure I will do neither.” H e that wins in the race practice selfcontrol in all things.—“ Christ ian Observer.” A Better Man. A speaker at a temperance meet ing told how drink.had once caused the downfall of a brave soldier. In the course the sad story he said, “Sometimes after a debauch the man would be repentant and hum ble. He would promise his wife to do better. But alas! the years taught her the barrenness of such promises. One night; when be was getting to be ah old man, thin- limbed,'stoop-shouldered, with red rimmed eyes—a prematurely old man-—he said to his wife: ‘You are a clever woman, Jenny; a courage ous, active, good woman. You should have married a better man than I am, dear.’ She looked-at him and answered in a quite voice. ‘I did, James.’ ” — “Sunday Schco Times.” : Three Hours For Lunch A new federal regulation in Mexico has cut down the mid-day lunch and. siesta period for govern ment emp oyees'to thfe^fibnrs.

BY R- JBr Smith, The height ofthe civilization of any nation is measured- by the height of the average living stan dard of the citizens of that;: nation. It is easy for almost any well educated historian to prove that America' has built a civilization wi>h an average living standard superior to,any of the larger nations of the world. It is also easy for them, to prove that in all the history _ of the pas* such achievements have never been attained throngh the ex tremes of either Fascism or Com munism.'.Therefore, the future of America most certainly lies some where in between these two great destructive extremes of human gov ernment. In all plant'land animal life nature, so abhors an' extreme ■ hat, with vety rare exceyr'ons, ilny are easily or eventually de stroyed. In a similar mannar onr great normal masves will through the practicable application of in dust y and common sense finally dominate and eradicate-- radical :tremes. ~ The most encounigfh g sl gn of to day is that our leaders and masses are beginning to lesten to reason. At last onr leaders are adm iting that the theory of ait economy of scarcity has failed in practice and we are now turning to. an economy of democratic abundance, out greatest danger is that we do not become so communi: tic as to destroy individual Initatiye, private indus. ry and seff-reliance. Tbe challenge to all truth Americans is to lay iside their self intere.-ts for the . time being and- Ioy I y o rg jq g e' and work to prevent onr' people .-' from going to seed on governiuen- ul paternalism on one hand, and privat; exploitation of hnman and natural resources on the other band.

We should clearly see that America c a n , throngh po’ttical freedom and eco- uomic democracy under out present national Constitution, bnild ,the greatest civilization the world has even known. ggH What onr leaders of today should real ze isThat nature never created uiabkind equal inpbysical or men tal abilities, and all nations -that have tried to level out the varia tions of human nature by foolish experiments have blown up in eco nomic bankruptcy and. social dis aster.

N. C. THREE SHUTTERED HOUSES Dy ItEN JUNES W U IM M S Copyright—WNU SBtVKI CHAPTER I Objects at rest have Inertia; they are hard to move. But objects In motion may by the least force be diverted, and their whole future course Uius changed. It Is so with lives; for life is moUon, and this is particularly true in youth. A young man|s most casual encounter may modify his whole life thereafter, in splendid or in dreadful ways. It was Mabel Gaye who performed this function for Clint Jervies. Ma bel was of no least importance in Clint’s eyes. He had never met her till Enid Mason’s dance at the Som erset, and he saw with some dis taste upon their first encounter that Mabel had had a little too much to drink.1 But the youngster who was her escort for the evening was in worse jCase .than she, and in no con dition.to drive n car; so a little be fore midnight Clint, who had on this occasion no feminine responsibilities of his own, volunteered to take Ma bel safely home, .and had Enid’s thanks for that consideration. When he and Mabel emerged from the hotel, it was raining, gusty squalls with an occasional roll of thunder; and Mabel lived a dozen or fifteen miles out of Boston along the Providence road, so that the drive was a long one. As soon as they were in the car, she went to sleep and stayed asleep till Clint roused her to direct him through the last stages of the journey. When they reached her door, she urged him to come in, and when he de clined this invitation, she insisted on being kissed good night. Clint thus far obliged her; but he Baid at once afterward: “I’ll have to run along now. There’s some construction on the road. I had to detour, coming out. It will take me an hour to get back to town.” “Oh, you don’t have to hurry,” she pleaded. “You can dodge all that by going over Kenesaw Hill.” And to his questions, she gave him directions how to find this by way. At a certain traffic-light he must turn to the right . . . He nod ded his understanding, but good- humoredly insisted on departing. She stood in the open doorway still pleading, while he got into the car at the foot of the steps; but when she saw that he was bound to go, she called softly: “Well, good night! And thanks a loti You were a peach to bring me home. Telephone me tomorrow.” “Sure will,” Clint promised. “I’ll be seeing you.” He was perfectly sincere in this promise; but as a matter of fact it was more than two years before he saw her again, and he had by that time completely forgotten their former encounter. Yet if he had not taken Mabel home, and returned to town by way of Kenesaw Hill, there is no reason to think he would ever have seen June Leaford, and Kitty Leaford’s death must have gone unremarked, and those three shuttered houses on the Hill might well have hid their dark secret to the end . . . . Clint left Mabel Gaye standing in her own door and drove away. He chuckled and rubbed his lips with the back of his hand where die had kissed him; and he thought so berly that someone ought to tell her a few things, and was amused at his own puritanic mind. He had not always been so austere, and he for got Mabel now to think about him- .self, as a young man is apt to do. Before Clint’s father died, the old er man must have suspected that Cllnt and his sister Clara were not ready for self-management; for he created the Jervies Trust; and Miss Moss, an angular middle-aged wom an with a surprising tenderness be neath her iron exterior, who had been Mr. Jervies’ secretary, be came the actual if not the titular head of that Trust. She had been almost like a foster-mother to these children since their own mother died, and continued in that role. Clint, reflecting tonight in a mild amusement on his own virtuous dis approval of Mabel Gaye, thought Miss Moss would likewise be amused at his attitude. She had used to be so deeply distressed by Clint’s own recklessness, and Clara’s too. But that was better than a year ago, and times were changed. Clint himself now administered die Jer vies Trust, and shrewdly too; he was become a sober-minded young man of affairs. He thought tonight that sobriety and virtue might sometimes mean a certain loneli ness. When she could trust Clint to stand on his own feet, Miss Moss had married Inspector Tope; and Clara, long before that, was mar ried to young Mat Hews, whose'new play would open in Chicago in a day or two. Considering these things tonight, Clint decided it must be fun to be married, if you found the right girl. Then he came to the traffic Ught Mabel Gaye had described to him, and turned off the main highway, up Kenesaw Hill. ' It was near one o’clock in the morning; and the shower was on in full force—a drenching rain, flares of Ughtning. He passed for a while no residences at all; but as he crossed the flat top of Kenesaw Hill he saw, dimly through the rain, some, houses set absurdly close to gether, to one side of the road. Clint thought it was as though they hud dled near one another in this soli- tude for the sake of company. The' front door of the middle one of these houses was open, with a Ught burn ing in the hail, and he decided that the door had blown open, that some one would presently come down and shut it. Then the houses feU behind him as he drove on. In the illumination of an especial ly bright flash of lightning, he had an impression of something white, moving, beside the road ahead of “No, no,” she stammered. She was breathless, panting. him, and just beyond the range of his headlights. You often saw crea tures along the road at night, saw them usually as two red spots that were eyes, saw them later as dark shadows where a cat or a dog squat ted to watch you pass. But this thing was-not two red spots; it was a white bulk. His headUghts caught it now. Moving— yes, running. He leaned forward more intently. This was a person, naming ahead of him Eilong the road. It was a wom an, running ahead of him through the rain. There was a curious shapelessness about her; and he recognized the reason for this: her dark hair was streaming over her shoulders, so that she seemed to have no head. Her feet, he thought, were bare. A woman in a night gown. He was within fifty yards of her now, overtaking her. The night gown, he saw, was not of silk or satin or any soft materiEd;’it ap peared to be a sober garment, en tirely lacking in frivoUty; yet it was indubitably a nightgown, Eind by the same token there could be no doubt that it was the only gar ment this womEm wore. Clint was driving slowly, and the woman ran swiftly, so that she kept for an instant this distance ahead of him. Then, like a wild animfid which perceives the hopelessness of straightaway flight, die suddenly turned aside off the road, and die tripped tutd fell headlong, and swung around in one .swift motion Emd came to her feet agEun. Like a creature at bay she faced him, her back set against the trunk of a great tree. - He would remember the picture she made. He saw her face, a white oval framed In the dark shad ows of her hair. One strand of hair was plastered across her brow and cheek by the rain, like a black band across her countenance. She brushed this desperately aside. That nightgown, for EiU its severe simplicity, was pressed close to her body by ffie wind; it was glued to her by the rain. Clint saw that this was, incredibly, a girl, not a woman at all. A rather taU girl, slender without being thin. She had run gracefully, he remembered that. His heart was pounding, shaking him. He pulled up the car and opened the door on the side toward her. “What’s the matter?” he.asked. He spoke carefuUy, in a gentle tone, so that he might not frighten her further. “What’s the matter? Any thing I can do?” “No, no,” she stammered. She was breathless, panting. “I can give you a lift,” he urged. “This is no night—” She appeared to change her mind. She CEime toward him, and he swung the..door wide. “Yes, take me on,” she’bade him. “Straight on.” And she cUmbed into the car and sat down beside him in .the wide seat here. She was, of course, drenched. “Put on my coat,” he urged, and started to strip it off. “No, no,” she repeated. “It’s not far.” And she urged: “Go on. Quick ly, please!” He set the car In motion; and he looked at her sidewise in an in credulous and deUghted wonder. Her hair, heavy with water, lay across her shoulders in dark rib bons; her single garment was so much a part of her that she seemed like wet marble. He thought of sculptured nymphs under a foun tain’s arching screen. In one swift glance he saw her entire, and un- forgetably. She did not return his glance; but neither did she seek to cover herself from his eyes. Her own were fixed straight ahead; yet by something in her very posture, in the rigidity which she maintained, he knew she was conscious of his scrutiny, fighting to ignore it, choked and stifled by her own sud den realization of how she must ap pear to him. Clint, in a swift sympathy Effid tenderness, switched off the dash- light, so that she sat in a cloaking darkness. He kept his eyes there after upon the road and did not look at her again. So presently he.felt her relax a little, beside him; and he was conscious that she studied him for a long moment, with a deep attention. Suddenly she said: “ThEffik you!” “No trouble,” Clint assured her.- “I’ll take you anywhere—” “I didn’t mean that," she said honestly. “But—it’s not far.” He felt, rather than saw, that she was breathing with long careful in halations, as though she had to be on guard lest she shudder or sob. He asked slowly: “Something—frighten you? Can’t I help?” “No, no, no,” she told him, her voice trembling. “I’m not afraid I’m not.” She whispered with a sud den passion: “I’m not! I won’t be afraid!” Yet he saw that she was desperate with terror. “Listen,” he urged. “I don’t want to butt ini But—don’t you need someone to stand by?” “I’m all right,” she insisted. He nodded; but he said gently: “I’m Clint Jervies. I’m—respecta ble. If you ever want help. I’d like to—” She said: “Let me out, please.” Clint protested: “I don’t mean to bother you. You needn’t run away from me.” “This is where I want to go,” she insisted. “Quick. Stop.” Clint obeyed her. The car had scarce ceased moving before she slipped to the ground. She closed the door behind her. She called: “Thank you.” Then she was gone, vanishing into the wood beside the road. He hesitated, all reluctance. The rain still pelted; lightning flickered remotely, or crashed close at hand. He saw something like a path where she had disappeared. But she was gone, and Clint rue fully drove on. He passed a cross road; and presently the way he fol lowed joined the main thoroughfare into Boston. Before he came home he had de cided what to do. Inspector Tope had proved long ago his capacity for finding an answer to the most ob scure conundrums; the old man might be able to read the answer to this riddle of a lovely girl, scanti ly clad, running so desperately along a lonely country road in the night and in the rain. It was too late to seek out the In spector and Miss Moss tonight; but tomorrow, Clint decided, he would go to them with this fantastic tale.

Persecution from outside .was toon followed by what was even tiore serious—difficulty within the Dhurch. If Satan cannot' destroy Sod’s work in one .way, he cun ningly tries another plan. Although She first council at Jerusalem (Acts 11) had decided that “to the Gen tiles also hath God granted repent ance unto life,” the question did not stay settled, for there were persist ent Judaizing teachers who now contended that even though .the Gentiles could be saved, they had to come into the Church by way of Judaism and first fullfill the Jewish rite of circumcision. I. A Serious Difference of Opinion —Grace Versus Law The story of how this vitEil and fundamental question came up is found in the early verses of Acts 15. The entire future of the gospel ministry was in a sense dependent on the solution of this problem. Christianity is the only religious faith in the world that presents justification by grace as the way of redemption; all others follow (more or less) the path of salvation by works. The question now was: Shall works of the law be mingled with grace—can Jesus Christ Edone save men, or is salvation through Jesus Christ plus something else? How was such a serious question to be settled? Should argument and strife be permitted to go on until the stronger party prevailed? Bet ter judgment indicated the desira bility of . H. A Christian Method of Settle ment—Council not Controversy There may be times when it be comes the duty of the Christian worker to take an uncompromising stand for the truth of God and re fuse to be moved, come what may. But certainly there should be no such spirit in dealing with differing interpretations' of Scripture on the part of sincere and earnest Chris tian brethren. How much would be gained in the Church today if, instead of magnifying differences and permitting personal desires and ambitions to intervene, men were willing to sit down in the spirit of Christ around the tables of Chris tian council and brotherhood, pre sided over and directed by the Holy Spirit (see Acts 15:28). The whole question was honestly and carefully considered by the sec ond council at Jerusalem, with the result that there was a vindication of the preachers of God’s grace. After presenting a plain disavowal of those who had troubled them and subverted, their souls (what a seri ous thing it is to teach error con cerning God’s Word!), the council being of one accord, gave recogni tion to Paul and Barnabas as men who had “hazarded their lives for the name of the Lord Jesus” and were worthy of confidence and sup port. No man should think more highly of himself than he ought. Humilify is a Christian grace which well be fits a sinner saved by grace. But the Bible abounds with admonitions to honor one another, to recognize the laborer as being worthy of his hire, to give recognition to those who are over us in the Lord. The brethren at, Jerusalem were thoughtful and courteous enough to so honor and encourage Paul and Barnabas: We could well follow their example in recognition of faithful servants of Christ in- our own church or Community. III. A Momentous Decision—Sal vation by Grace The final decision of the council is sent not only by Paul Effid Barna bas, but also by a committee from Jerusalem, a gracious gesture of fellowship. Courtesy is not out of place In dealing with even such dif ficult things as controversies' on Christian doctrine—in fact it should be most in place in such a situation. As a matter of record (a wise procedure in such a case), a letter WEis sent which, after addressing the Gentiles as “brethren,” re viewed the history of the matter and then, without mentioning cir cumcision at all, puts upon the Gen tiles “no greater burden than the necessary things.” And what were these? Those things which relate to purify of life as those who were enjoying Christian liberty. The law of Moses need not be kept as a ground of salvation. They were saved by grace. But grace can never be the cloak of careless liv ing, nor can liberty in Cfyrist be interpreted as license to live in sin. We are set free in Christ, not that we may sin, but that we may “go and sin no more.” Blessed Day Blessed is the day whose morn ing is sanctified! Successful is the day whose first victory is won by prayer! Holy is the day whose dawn finds thee on the top of. the mount!—Joseph Parker.

BIRD HOUSE HATS i S t a r D u s t ★ Deanna Stays Deanna ★ Bouquets for McCarey ★ Clothes Make the Guide By V irginia V ale ----- De a n n a d u r b i n seem s to be the current heroine of m oviedom , because of her e x c e lle n t p e rfo rm a n c e in “Three S m art G irls Grow Up.” A lot of people who. liked “T h re e S m a rt G irls” w ere pretty sure th at they wouldn’t like this sequel; sequels have a way of being disappointing, especially in the movies. Then along came Universal with the announcement that in this one their ' money-making little star burned glamorous. That made ev erything much worse. If Deanna was going in for slinky gowns and false eyelashes even the critics who had always liked her were going to use barbed adjectives, and urge Uieir readers to stay far, far away DEANNA DURBIN from theaters where those three par ticular smart girls grew up. But along came the picture, and there has been dancing in the streets. The picture is swell, and Deanna isn’t “glamorous,” she’s just herself. It’s a picture that ev erybody ought to see. Our hero this time is Leo McCar- ey, director-producer, who also did a turn as writer for "Love Affair.” The picture is one of the best that has come out of Hollywood in a long, long time. When you see it, you might pause and think of how very bad it might have been, were it not so expertly done. With a couple of not very good actors in the roles played by Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer, with a run-of-the-mill direc tor, it could easily have been a B picture. Several bouquets should go to Mc- Carey for his work on the writing end also. His movie career began with writing, you know. Hal Roach suggested that he become an actor, and-he replied that he’d rather be come a writer. Within six months he was a studio executive; then he directed Laurel and Hardy and Charlie Chase comedies for five years, and in 1936 he directed “Rug- gles of Red Gap” for Paramount and was all set for big things. “Love Affair” was developed out of an idea of his, with Miss Dunne and Boyer in mind for the picture. Don’t miss it! If you liked “The Citadel” you’ll be glad to know that “Vigil in the Night,” by the same author, has been bought as a starring vehicle for Carole Lombard. A romantic drama, it tells of the love and sac rifices of a young woman who wants to save her sister, a student nurse, from the results of a moment of carelessness which leads to the death of a hospital patient. Jack Berch, one of NBC’s hand some young baritones, recently dis covered that clothes are more im portant than he thought. With sum mer just ahead, he bought a yacht ing outfit, and liked it so much that he wore it right out of the tailor’s and back to Radio City. He was on his way through the first-floor corridors to the elevators when an elderly lady stopped him. “Young man,” said she, “I stopped to Iodk at one of the murals here, and the touring group I was with has gone on. Please continue my tour.” - Berch used to be a small-town boy, and learned to be polite to el derly ladies. So, cursing his yacht ing cap, he escorted her to the front door,' industriously describing the murals they passed on the way. There she discovered her group, and he fled to the studios, his cap in his hand. — * — Paul Whiteman’s replacing Burns and Allen on the air for the summer could be listed as “Turn about is fair play.” They once replaced Paul Whiteman. .

B y CH ER IE N IC H O L A S XX/’HEN it comes' to drawing the ' ' crowds it’s the blouse sections that are doing it these days—most exciting blouse season known for years. The main reason for this stam pede in the blouse direction is that suits rank ace-high in importance this spring and as every woman and her sisters and her cousins and her aunts well know, the proper upkeep of a suit calls for one chic blouse after another. However, ythe fact that suits are “tops” this season is not the only reason for the mad rush blouseward that is going on. It's the blouses themselves that are the magnet that draws, from the standpoint of “style” color and ma terial they are simply not to be resisted. The interest displayed in sterling pure silk weaves for the blouse this season is especially significant. Sim ply tailored blouses like the one shown below to the right in the il lustration are indispensable with your tweeds. This model, a Lelong creation, is tailored of a heavy ex otic silk crepe in rich deep red. It has a tucked shirt front fastened with leather thongs that clasp into gilt “croquet wickets.” Collarless jacket suits frequently have the jacket lined in the same silk print (jacket is often reversi ble) as fashions the blouse. Dotted silks are the rage for this sort of styling. If it is something out of the ordinary you are wanting to fit into the scheme of things take note of the stunning “bib blouse” pictured to the left below. It clas sifies under ingenue or schoolgirl type, which does not mean that it is restricted to teen-age wear, for it’s the fashion to wear young look ing clothes this spring that belie age counted in years. The clever big effect is achieved via an insert of bold big dots contrasting the tiny- dot-print. The revival of the ornate dressy blouse reflects the influence of the gay nineties. See the model in the upper left corner of the picture. In creating this lady-type blouse for dinner or cocktail horns Lanvin al ternates bands of black silk geor gette and val lace finishing it off with highband neck and turnover collar. The revival of the white blouse with the dark suit is one of fash ion’s top-most highlights. The Gib son girl blouse pictured above to the right is in white silk organdy with lace-trimmed jabot coming high at the neck. The bishop sleeve with its lace-trimmed frill at the wrists give, this blouse the new look that is copied from the old. For the be-frilled and lace edged, tucked and finely hand-worked white blouse now so fashionable, thin silks such as silk organdy or silk triple sheers that will wash well and keep their whiteness are highly recom mended. Perhaps the biggest- sensation in the present vogue is the white peas ant blouse with full-to-the-wrist long sleeves that gather into a tight band such as are worn with the very new gypsy skirts fashioned of vivid striped or plaid silk. For this blouse, designers use washable white silk chiffon or white silk organdy with gratifying results. In the color madness that has gripped the world of fashion blouses are playing a dramatic role. Surah silk is a great favorite, printed or plain, stressing chartreuse, fuchsia, yellow gold, rust, violet, mustard and citrus colors.Q Western Newspaper Unloiu Cloque O rgandy A multi-color floral print Swiss cloque organdy with a permanent crinkle that won’t come out in the wash makes this lovely and prac tical dress for a little girl. . The round ruffled collar is of white or gandy inset and edged with val lace to match the Iace edge finish of the puffed sleeves. The velvet rib bon sash is of soft blue to harmo nize with-the deeper blue back ground of the print. There will be quantities of cloque printed organdy used during the coming months. Cottons H ave New Roles This Spring Cottons have new roles in the cre ation of spring fashions. Pique and linen, for example, are used for white toques and sailors to wear with navy blue suits. These fabrics also are important for collar and cuff sets that are attached to dark evening dresses. Gloves also are being made of these washable ma terials. Gingham accents are equally as popular and unusual in their appli cation to newest costumes. Plaid gingham. pipings appear as trim ming on navy blue reefer suits and also make matching blouses. New Hairdress Is Becoming Popular A new hairdress covers the entire head in flat curls that remind, of a boyish bob. It is very youthful and is referred to as the “little girl” hairdress. The high-do for hair is seen less in the daytime but still persists for formal occasion. At the immediate moment hair worn page boy fashion is popular. A pleasing compromise is the arrangement that brings curls or puffs to the front in somewhat of a pompadour ef fect, with the almost shoulder-length end-curl bob at the* back. A Town Bag for Ton One of the new handbags in rough straw braid is a navy town bag in plain rectangular shape with thick base, having a heavy gold chain around it near the top to simulate drawstrings. * ■ ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS By Elmo Scott Watson WHAT to EAT and WHY A________________________________ ‘Father’ of the Santa Fe Trail IN 1821 Capt. William Becknell set out from Franklin, Mo., with four companions to trade with the Co manche Indians. Near the moun tains they met a party of Mexicans who told them of Mexico’s success ful revolt against Spain and invited them to come to Santa Fe to trade. Although Becknell had only a small amount of merchandise, he disposed of it at a great profit. So when he returned to Missouri, he had no diffi culty in getting Franklin citizens to invest more than $5,000 in another trading venture. Accompanied by a party of 30 men, Becknell set out for Santa Fe the next spring. When the cara van reached the Caches on the Upper Arkansas, he made a momen tous decision. Instead of continu ing up the Arkansas into what is now Colorado, then going south by way of Taos, he decided to attempt a short cut. It would take him through an unexplored country but it would avoid the long and circui tous mountain route of his first trip. Counting on finding springs or streams along the route, the party took only a two days’ supply of wa ter. At the end of that time, they were in a desert country, suffering the tortures of thirst. In their ex tremity they first killed their dogs to drink their blood, then cut off their mules’ ears for the same pur pose. Near the Cimarron river they dis covered an old buffalo bull. They killed him and drank the water from his stomach. By this time Becknell had enough of the “short cut.” He led his party north until-they struck the Arkansas and, following that stream, arrived at last at Taos. Despite their failure, the route which Becknell had tried later be came a favorite one for many trad ing parties and he is remembered as the “father” of the Santa Fe trail.• • • THe First Land Agent A FTER the Revolution, New ** York, disregarding the right of the Iroquois Indians to the land south of Lake Ontario, ceded 6,000,- 000 acres to Massachusetts who promptly disposed of these lands to Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Gor ham, for a million dollars. In 1786 Phelps left Massachusetts with a party to explore the vast ter ritory which he had acquired. After a 130-mile trip through what was then a wilderness, he reached the shores of Canandaigua lake where he called the Iroquois to a council. For two days the negotiations pro ceeded smoothly. Then the great Seneca orator, Red Jacket, arose. He recalled the sufferings of his people during the Revolution, and stirred his auditors up to such a fury that the little group of white men began to fear for their lives. Fortunately for them, another chief named Farmer’s Brother halt ed the council until their passions died down and the next day a satis factory treaty was concluded. Then Phelps began surveying his land into tracts, called ranges, and sub dividing these into townships, six miles square. Thus he became the pioneer in the system of land sur veying used in this country. In 1789 he achieved another dis tinction. He opened a land office in Canandaigua, said to have been the first in this country for the sale of forest lands, to settlers, and thus helped settle western New York.* « • Adventure After Death XT'ICTOR TREVITT was a nativd • of New Hampshire, who at the age of 14 ran away from home and became a printer in Chillicothe, Ohio. By the time he was 20 he had been in the army and had many close calls in the Mexican war. He emigrated to Oregon City, Ore., in 1854, became territorial printer, newspaper man and clerk in the house of representatives. Next he took to exploring up the Colum bia river, after which he returned to Dalles City and opened a tavern that catered to prospectors. As the town grew, he opened two more tav erns. Soon he was one of its lead ing citizens and was sent to the state capital to serve as senator. When he returned to Dalles City, he found that the free spending era was over and his taverns were no longer profitable. This led him to gambling at which he made a con siderable fortune. He died on Jan uary 23, 1883, but this was only the start of another adventure. He had made arrangements to be buried on Memaloose island, the burying ground for one of the neigh boring Indian tribes. Burial in the same ground with a white man was considered “bad medicine” by the Indians. The day after Trevitt was buried there, all who had rela tives in the Memaloose graveyard dug them up and buried them on the mainland. -Today, amid the scat tered bones of Indians Who have no descendants to remove them, the body of Victor Trevitt, adventurer, still rests.<£> Western Newspaper Union. I the digestive tract may be so rap id that it leaves the body before all the available nutrients can be utilized. At the same time, these active people tend to bum up more of their food for energy, so it is not surprising that they fail to store body fat, unless the diet is especially planned to meet their needs. The well balanced diet, with its full quota of minerals and vita mins is basic to good health for all.. But in order to produce a gain in weight, the diet of indi viduals belonging to the slender type should be composed of easily digested foods, which can be uti lized by the body with a minimum of effort; and it should include generous amounts of concentrated and highly nourishing foods. Included in this classification are eggs, cheese, cream, butter or margarine, bacon, bread, cere als, cream soups, custards, ice cream, rice and tapioca puddings.

Houston Goudiss Explains How Food Can Make You Fat or Thin; Offers Tips on Gaining W eig h t' By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS TO NEARLY every adult, w eight is a m atter of g reat con cern. Thin people step on the scales in the hope of finding th at they have gained a pound or two. F a t people som etim es weigh them selves several tim es a day, trusting each tim e th at the arrow w ill point to a slightly low er figure. In m any cases, the reason for this absorbing interest is vanity—a desire to look better. B ut the re a l objective should be to attain the w eight a t w hich one«> feels better, for few people realize th at to weigh neither too m uch nor too little is one of the best possible aids to buoyant health. M oreover, the secret of w eight control for norm al individuals lies in the kind and amount of food con sum ed. The science of nutrition teaches us that all body fat originates as surplus fuel . . . that is, food which has been consumed over and above the immediate require ments of the body machine. It there fore follows that in general th e' prob lem of gaining or losing weight is concerned with an increase or reduc tion in the total fuel value of the diet. S h o rta g e o r S urplus o f Fuel Those who find it difficult, after 30, to avoid taking on excess pounds must learn : to reduce the total fuel intake. Otherwise, they may rind themselves burdened with a mounting surplus of fat, which not only destroys beauty, but impairs health, and tends to decrease both mental and physi cal efficiency. On the other hand, those who feel that they must struggle to keep their weight up to normal . . . who declare that they simply cannot gain, no mat ter how much they eat, should acquaint themselves with the high-caloric foods and make a per sistent effort each day to eat a little more than enough to meet their needs. If a gain is achieved, the result will be well worth the effort. For just as overweight is a handicap to health and efficien cy, so have nutritionists observed that physical efficiency may be definitely decreased when the weight falls more than 10 per cent below the average for one’s height. It is often said that it is easier to lose weight than to gain it, and in many cases this is true. For the overweight person who con sistently cuts down the fuel value >f the diet, should, under normal circumstances, be able to reduce gradually, comfortably and effec tively. But the individual who is underweight often has a small ap petite and therefore has little de sire to eat the increased quanti ties of food that are required in order to gain. In flu en ce o f B ody Build Nutritionists have observed that many people who find it difficult to gain have a tall, slender type of body build. It has been deter mined that in people of this type, the digestive tract is usually short er than in those having a stocky build. Moreover, they tend to be more tense, more active and of a more nervous temperament. As a result, the passage of food through diet. Milk also belongs in the reducing diet, but there it is used to replace other high caloric foods. Fruit juices will be found useful in'stimulating the appetite of those who desire to gain; and the fuel value of these beverages may be increased by the addition of milk or cream. A n E xtra M e al Very often it is possible to get extra nourishment into the diet by way of a light lunch in mid morning, mid-afternoon or both— provided it does not interfere- with the appetite for the regular meals. This may take the form of fruit juice and crackers; malted milk; cocoa, egg nog or plain milk. A between-meal snack is regarded as especially desirable for thin people whose work is fa tiguing. It will helj) them to sus tain energy and prevent them from coming to their regular meals too tired to enjoy or profit by food. Im p o rta n c e o f R est Since thin people have a ten dency to tire quickly, they are ad vised to get plenty of rest. There should be long hours of sleep at night, and nutritionists have also observed that the food is apt to be better utilized if a short rest is taken before meals. Queslions Answered Miss G. L. D.—It has been esti mated that one quart of fluid skim milk and one-and-one-half ounces of butter may be considered as approximately the equivalent in food value to a,quart of fluid whole milk. ©—WNU—C.

In the meantime, the relative im portance of' American industry, as the chief consumer of American cotton, has been increasing. In view of the unfavorable export .. situation, efforts are .being re doubled to increase domestic con sumption, which in 1938, amounted to 5,783,465 bales. Chief among these are the promotions behind National Cotton Week, May 22 to May 27, and the extensive research work being done to develop new uses for the staple. In the latter connection, encour aging progress is reported, accord ing to a review In the current issue of The Arcadian Grower, farm magazine published by the distrib utors of Arcadian nitrate of soda.

It is now close to six and a qua:ter billion dollars a year. It is de rived from taxes of every kind, in eluding the Social Secnrify piyroll taxes, in Government bookkeeping. The annual expenditure of the Federal Government has been in creasing steadily for the past six vears. It is now close to or above nine and one-half billion dollars. The difference between what the government spends and what ii collects from its citizens is borrow ed money. In the past six years the Federal Government has bor rowed and spent abcut tweniy-five billion dollars a year of goveinment expenditures are for interest on the national debt, which now amounts to about 41 billion doliars. The largest item of government expenditures is relief, which in cludes W. P. A. Next largest in public work®, which covers new postoffices, highway construction, river and harbor improvement and the like. Next is national defense. The interest charge comes next in size. Unless spending is checked, the United States will go deeper and deeper ‘‘in the red.” When yon read or hear tola about “balancing the budget,” it simply means try ing to keep the outgo within the income. It is a very difficult idea to put across with politicians in of fice. They tove to spend ether people’s money. That spending can be reduced- and ought to is the conclusion reached by the National Economy League of New York, from whose booklet “ How to Balance the Fed eral Budget” the figures here are taken. We think it would be worth every thoughtful citizen’s time to study the League's analysis of the Federal finances.—Exchange. Illegal” Slot Machines. Attorney General H any Mc Mullan has auled that slot machines are illegal and not subject to licensing under the new revenue act if they automatically, vend tokeus, rewards or premiums which might be used ti further operation of the devices. The opinion in part, reads as follows: The only micbines which can be licensed are those slot machines which do not vend automatically any slug, premium, prize, coupon, reward, refund, rebate or other thing of value which might be used in the furture operation of such device of fot which no cash value is received. It is all very confusiny to The Record. In view of-this opinion, we wond er just what sort of devices the General' Assembly did actually Iicens—and also how the solons in their wisdom fignred it would be possible for the state to collect so many thousands of doilars of reven ue as the estimates indicated would be forthcoming from this source foi balancing the budget.

Where We Were When We Started. “ We have thq same unemplopment the same need of relief—practically —that we had when Mr. Hoover went out of office.” You would naturally think that such an utterance comes from a hidebound Republican It doesn’t!

' « Hill Country Folk “Fretted.” Pali Mall, Tenn.—World W ar Hero Alvin C.

A belief tha’ Kentucky will go Re publican in the State election next November and point the way to a Republican Presidential victory in' 1940 is held by W. E. Porter, a form* er Democrat, who ira candidate for the Republican nomination for Gov ernor. Formerly head of the Association of Yonng Democratic Clubs in Ken* tucky, Porter came out in open op* position to the New Deal in 1934, was read out of the Democratic par ty in 1935 and supported Alf M. Lan- don, Republican nominee for Presi dent in 1936. He said that before announcing'his candidacy for the no mination for Governor he had re ceived assurance of Btrong Repubii can organization support. “I intend to make my campaign on the issues of removing governmental restrictions on business and on the building up of clasB hatred in this country which the Roosevelt Admin istration has fostered,” Porter said in an interview in New York. “ I am going to ask the voters of Ken tucky to stop and consider, whether men who have created wealth and provided employment should be per secuted for those reasons and whetb er they prefer the government to en courage business to work nr that the government should provide t h e work, “I hope to show the nation that Roosevelt’s gestures of intolerance toward business are political. moves to maintain himself in power, as all dictators do. I believe that with its inherent slow but sure thinking Ken tucky will be the proving ground to demonstrate the unsoundness of the New Deal.” Porter is an adverting man and a resident of Hopkinsville: ; Easy Does It.

Bluffs vs “The Goods” Some people, it has been noted, endeavors to get by in this by sheer bluff, rather than through eonscitn tious, honest effort. A few may -mcceed, for a time at least. There) is a vast difference between a rea sonable degree of self-confidence and 1 sense of egotism that refuses to admit any human failings or limita- ions. The habitual bluffer is usually rifted with very persuasive oratori- ■al powers. He sounds most con vincing. According to glib admis- lions, his name is synonymous with “efficiency.” There is hardly a field of endeavor he has not exploired or. in reality, exploited. Lot us consid- r an instance related to us recently. In a large eastern city a young man obtained a clerical, position, at a modest salary, with a prospering manufacting company. His seem ing enthusiasm and seal soon attract ed the. attention of the company’s president. With but limited cultur si background, yet equipped with a ready tongue, the new employee con tinued to impress the executive most favorably AU this lime the enter prising one was surreptitiously plan ding the ouster of the business man ager, whose position and salary he coveted, and his activities along this line were not entirely based upon a sense honesty and fairness. Finally, he accomplished this end and occupied an executive’s chair Then his ego, having been fired to an intense degree his bluff having produced the desired results, he sought to reorganize t h e entire olant. with a view to placing his fa vorites in key. positions and thu3 gain control of the entire company. Na turally, with so much valuable office cime being devoted to personal schemings and plots, the business oecame neglected, orders were not promptly nor -praperly filled, mail remained unackowledged and. de spite the fact that the concern,- oc cupied a clear field with no direct competition, in a few short month? the organization “folded up.” . The erstwhile clerk had, through his a- bortive tactics, not only encompass ed the destruction of the business, but had forced a number of people jut of employment. Genuine success can never be pre* iicted upon a false premise. The slow but me'bodical progress of the tortaise may in the average business; prcve more practical than the swift but irresponsible flight of the frivo Ious hare . In thi3 world, success seldom i! over comes to a man who has failed to prepare the necessary ground work—preseverance, determined ef fort, methodical planning—all based upon sincere ana honest motives. It would, not be exaggeration to state that practically every really success ful and outstanding man in this na tion today has experienced a full measure ,.of disappointment, heart ache and disillusion, which, by sheer, persistent effort he has overcome in an indomitable resolve not to be beaten in Life’s hard game.

Fort W.orth, Texas —Elliott Roosevelt said in one of bis reg ular radio commentaries that Presi dent Roosevelt’s recovery pump- priming was “ an aboitive means to an end—a hit or miss program without procedent and consequently without thorough planning- in alvauce.” Roosevelt, the President's second son, director of the Texas State-^- j I Radio Network, said “ we all agree” lh; t the new deal and its leader had an “ ntopian ideal” in mind in the recovery program but that pump- priming methods and the tax structure erected to foot the bill “are defeating their purpose.” He spoke principallp of condi tions in the South and-of how they, had be n affected bv the President’s “ vague and distant” suggestions. Tbe South, he said, “cannot be expected to take its place in the economic suu” without specific aid - and encouragement from the administration. He listed four "chief obst teles” to the South's economic rejuvena tion a», “frozen capital, inequit able freight rates, lack of a bal anced agricultural program, and lack of a long-range educational program to teach the masses the art of better living.” Striking Comparisons. If, as somo of our politicians ar gue, the steady and rapid extension of government control over indivi duals and businsss marks the royal road to security and plenty far .the people, the totalitarian states should be veritable marvels of prosperity. The fact is, as everyone who . has studied the subject knows, that totalitarianism tends to promote a lower, not a higher- standard of -liv ing; a lower, not a higher wage for the worker; a smaller, not . a larger return for farmer and manufacturer. In Russia, articles that Americans of all economic levels consider- al most absolute necessities—such as woolen clothing, good leather boots, meat and butter for the table, and adequate furnite—are possessed only by the relatively few, the favored ones of totalitarian “aristocracy.” In Italy, wages and the standard, of living have been consistently lower ed by governmental fiat, and evehsb common a commodity as wholewheat bread is unavailable to the bulk of workers. In Germeny, the govrrn- ment-sponsared spread of “ersatz” foods 'and materials- that is, sub stitutes for rubber, eggs,- butter, bread made of grians, coffee, etc., - testifies mntely to what is happen ing to the ordinary citizen’s stand- ird of living and chance to progress there. There isn’t any mystery as to why this is so. As Harry Curran Wilbur has said: Government is a non-pro- locer. and his no resources save what it takes from producers, dis tributors and those servicing both processes.” Tixes and competition, under paternalistic government, gradually drive the private producer to the wall - The nation’s resources are gradually used up and destroyed The national income drops, while taxes rise.

CHAPTER H : —a— • On the flat crest of Kenesaw Hill, backed against the woods and loofc ing down an opeii slope toward the marshes and the river, there were three houses, dissimilar and yet alike. Dissimflar in their outward aspect, yet alike in that to the most casual passer-by it must have •V.... seemed that fear dwelt in them all; - ^ and. secrecy, and other things be sides. Heavy !shutters were at ev- . 'ery window, even though Uiose shut- : ters were not always closed; heavy hangings behind the lace curtains next the glass; closed doors, chim neys that seldom wore a friendly plume of smoke, a lawn' never suf ficiently clipped and tended, and lacking ameliorating shrubs or flowers. One of these houses was a square box almost exactly as high as it was wide, of dull brown brick, with a dull slate roof that was so flat it threatened to crack under Uie winter’s weight of snow: a square box of a brick house, with a wing like the tail of a dog that is sitting down, extending for a short distance behind. Grass grew tall in the fish bone pattern of the brick walk that led from the road to the front door. And one of these houses was a sprawling thing of wood, painted that frugal brown which thrifty New England folk so often and so un fortunately prefer. Yet whoever first designed this wooden house must have groped toward beauty, even toward the pleasant ways of living; because there were broad verandas, there were peaks and val leys in the roof. There were even a few remaining traces of an or namental border still discernible un der the. overhang at the gable ends. The third house was of stone. This was the smallest of the three; and its height was greater than either its front or breadth. It hadalm ostthe appearance of a tower of stone; and the stone-work extended up ward to the window-sills of the sec ond floor. Above that there was stucco; and above the stucco and the low attic windows, there was a steep-pitched roof from which the snow would slide of itself. But this house, even though it was the small est of the three, was distinguished by one circumstance. There was behind the house a portable garage of sheet metal; and from this ga rage a drive led around one side of the house, making a sharp angle at the rear comer to pass between the house and a tall pine tree there, making another angle so as to pass the front steps, and thus to the road. And the garage gave evidence of being used; the drive was free of grass, and there were spme oil-spots by the kitchen door as though a car often stopped there;' You might have thought these houses, from their aspect, empty, abandoned; yet people lived in them, and by an unchanging rou tine. Each Saturday night, as a part of this routine,»they all for gathered in the sitting-room of the big frame house between the other two, where old Denman Hurder lived with his wife who had been Ella Kenesaw, and with his daugh ter Kitty Leaford, and her daughter June. June Leaford sometimes wondered . whether other people existed as mo notonously as these folk she knew best: her mother, and Grandpa and Grandma Hurder; old Matthew Bowdon and his wife next door in one direction; Aunt Evie Taine, and TJncle Justus, and Rab and Asa in the other. This was the only world she knew; a world a mile square, ' with the three houses as the focus. And these were the only folk she knew—these kinfolk and one other, the man who lived in the cabin by the pond which was hidden in the sunlit woods behind the house, and who liked to have her.call him Uncle . Jim. She had first met this man one day a good many years ago. As she grew from babyhood to child hood, Grandpa Hurder used to take her for long walks about this mile- square tract of land that was the Kenesaw domain; and later, when she was old enough to adventure abroad alone, she explored in all '■ directions. She liked to slip down ' toward the river, moving secretly among the young growth which was recapturing the old pasture there; and she discovered a screened knoll above the stream where she could sit unseen and watch the bright- hued canoes slip softly by. At other times she went to roam fearlessly in the woods behind the house. H alfam ilebelow the crest of Kenesaw Hill, the woods ended at a broad highway along which cars passed all day long in a weaving pattern to and fro. She knew the spring-fed pond deep in the woods, and sometimes she took off her shoes and stockings to wade in the dear water there; or she would sit very still on the rocky summit Of the knoll above the pond to watch through the intervening branches of .the trees the cars go by: - Uncle Jim found her there one day. She was at the time about ten years old. He spoke to her, smiling- .ly, and asked her name; and she told him what it was, and watched with interest how the blood drained out of his lips. Later she saw him more than once again, and one day she told her mother of these en counters. Kitty Leaford was a soft, queru lous woman, who lived resentfully but not rebelliously, complaining without struggle. She heard June’s report in an unaccustomed silence, and without comment; but she must have reported the matter to Aunt Evie, because later Aunt Ehrie told June, in her soft, implacable tones, not to walk in the woods again for a while, and she bade the girl for get this man she had seen. Kitty Ijeaford herself would have submitted—though rebelliously—to this prohibition ;: but June was of a Mr. and Mrs. Bowdon were playing anagrams at another table. stronger fiber than her mother. She disobeyed Aunt Evie once, and met Uncle Jim and told him what had happened. He came to the house that afternoon June saw him meet Aunt Evie. She did not hear what passed between them; but after that Uncle Jim built a cabin on* the rocky knoll above the pond, and dwelt there sometimes for weeks on end; and June often went that way. These hours when after her les sons under Aunt Evie’s tutelage were done Jtue could slip away to the river, or to see Unde Jim, made life endurable for the child. As she grew into a young woman, they were a part of the routine of her days. - Her days all were routine; just as it was a part of the routine which held them all, that every Sat urday night after supper they came together in the big sitting-room in the Hurder house. They did not meet for supper, because that meant extra work and even a certain ad ditional expense. But after supper they all met and were determined ly festive. "It is a duty we owe the chil dren,” Aunt Evie used to say. "To make home pleasant and attrac tive for them in whatever ways we can.” June and Bab. and Asa were the children. TVhen June was eighteen, Rab was twenty-six, and Asa seven years older; children no longer. But the routine hound them still . . . When this particular evening be gan—though June would remember, its every detail all her life—there was nothing to make it seem any different from others that had gone before. The day had been warm and sullen, and there was promise of a thunder-shower to relieve the heat; but Kitty Leaford hated thun- der-showers, so that June did not welcome the prospect of this relief. She was always apt to suffer when her mother did. The girl did the supper dishes to night as her regular duty was; and while she was thus engaged, Unde Justus and - Aunt.. Evie came . in through the kitchen from their house next door. There was a half-bottle of milk on the table, and Uncle Jus tus, as he passed where it stood, knocked it off with his elbow, so that it spilled across the floor. June had to mop it up, while Aunt EIvie thrust Unde Justus on toward the sitting-room. She did not scold him, because she always spoke in low, gentle tones; and Uncle Justus, was stone deaf and never heard anything she said.' June sometimes thought his deafness was an armor that served him well. After she had finished her tasks. she went upstairs to her bare, high- ceiled room to. wash her hands and smooth her hair, and when she re luctantly came down again, the oth ers were already gathered in the sitting-room. Uncle Justus sat in the shabby old chair by the piano reading his paper. He would go presently-to sleep, his chin on his chest, his glasses on his nose, his paper on his knees. June’s mother and young Rab Taine and Asa were playing three- handed contract bridge at a card- table at one side. Rab had a friend ly eye, a light and amiable-tongue. When June now came to the door and hesitated for a moment here, he called to her: “Come along and play with us to night, June. You belong with us young fry, not with the patriarchs!” Mr. and Mrs. Bowdon, Grandma and Grandpa Hurder, and Aunt Evie were playing anagrams at an other table; and a chair waited there for June. Jime hesitated, but Mrs. Bowdon interfered. Mrs. Bow don—she insisted that June call her Grandma, although she was in fact June’s great-aunt—was a ponderous white lump of a woman; white hair, white cheeks, small tight lips. June thought of her as a crushing weight. Grandma Bowdon said now to Rab, in her slow, heavy fashion: “Rab, June’s place is here with us. Junen here is your chair.” June had no thought of exercising any choice in the matter. She might have a choice; but if she had, she kept her wishes to herself. She had found by experience that nothing but bruised knuckles could result from battering a stone wall. She sat down where she was bidden, and she bejgan to play with them the game called anagrams. Uncle Justus went to sleep in his chair and began to snore, and Aunt EIvie made him move into the hall, into the straight, heavily carved chair by the table there. The sound of his snores still reached them, but no longer so disturbingly. That he should thus move into the hall was a usual occurrence and June scarce noticed it at the time. Later she would be puzzled by the fact that Inspector Tope attached to it so much importance,as he did to every movement of the others here this evening. Shortly, after ten o’clock, a mild argument developed. The discus sion went on and on, till Kitty Lea ford rose with a sudden angry move ment and said fretfully: "I must go to bedl I’ve a head ache. 'This heat torments me be yond enduring.” Grandma Bowdon protested: “Why, you can’t go yet, Kitty. It’s not half-past ten. We never stop tfll eleven.” “I must,” said Kitty Leaford. “I must get to sleep before the storm.” Aunt Evie Taine remarked in her calm, gentle tones: “Of course, Kitty, you ought to go to bed, if you feel tired. I’ll hring some-milk up to you. I always say when I’m tired, a glass of warm milk makes me feel better Uian any thing else. Where is it, in the ice- chest?” Jime confessed: “I’m afraid there isn’t any.” Uncle Justus had spilled the last of the day’s supply. But Aunt Evie ignored her. “We’ve none over at our house,” she reflected. “Nothing but the top milk that I saved for the coffee. Mother, have you any?” Grandma Bowdon nodded; and Aunt Evie said: “I’ll run across and get some.” “It doesn’t matter, really,” Kitty Leaford repeated. “Good- night.” She went out into the hall and they heard her speak, loudly, to Uncle Justus. He answered her, his voice sounding from halfway upstairs. Aunt Evie followed her. “Justus, where are you going?” she demand ed. “Come here!” He must have obeyed her, for when June reached the door, he was just sitting down" in the hall chair again. Aunt Evie told her: “I’ll bring the milk right away, June. Ehiom Grandma Bow- don’s.” . She hurried away, and June start ed to go upstairs, to be with her mother. Sometimes Kitty Leaford wanted her help in preparing for the night; for there was a consid erable ritual involved in this pro cedure. But Rab Taine called her. "June,” he urged cheerfully, “come back here. It’s not bed-time yet. Stay awhile.” She stood uncertainly In me door way, a tall, dark-haired girl, slen der and strong, but clad in a shape less and unbecoming gown. “You know,” Rab told her smil ingly, crossing to speak to her in a lower tone, "you need to learn to play, June. This tomb is no place for you. It’s time you were meeting some-young fellows.” June nodded. “I’m 'not going to stay here al ways,” she told him. “I’m going away some day. Mother has prom ised me.” “Any time you want to step out,” Rab invited, chuckling, “I’ll give you a hand. I like you, June. And I can show you around.”' Asa passed them on his way to the kitchen. "Glass of water,” he said, by way of explanation. June heard Aunt Evie come in to the kitchen, from out of doors, heard them talking together there. The girl went along the hall to join them, to see if she could be of help. Aunt Elvie had poured a little milk out of a bottle into a stew-pan and set it on the gas-stove. The bottle was empty. Asa was stand ing by the stove, a glass of water in his hand, while Aunt Evie looked for matches. But she did not readily find any; and June confessed: "I think they’re all gone. We meant to order some.” “I’ll get some from Justus,” Aunt Eirie decided. She went into the hall to rouse Uncle Justus, and June picked up the pan of milk. “Mother has a gas-plate in her bathroom,” she told Asa. “I can warm it there.” .He nodded without speaking. Asa was always a dour, silent man. He went ahead of her through the hall and back to the sitting?room, and June followed him as far as the halt Uncle Justus was awake, fum bling in his pockets for the matches' Aunt Evie demanded; and June set the milk down on the table besids him. “I’ll warm it upstairs,” she fold Aunt Evie, and went into the sitting room to say good night to Grandpa and Grandma Hurder. Rab came out with her, when this duty was done, and picked up the TniUr “I’ll carry this upstairs,” Rab told Jtine, smiling. “I want to say good night to Aunt Kitty. Besides, it’s too much of a load for you!” His eyes were twinkling. June was not particularly atten tive; yet later, under Inspector Tope’s gentle inquiries, she would remember and relate every detail of this evening. That stew-pan with a little milk in the bottom was to assume a dark and dreadful signifi cance in her eyes. But just now, she followed Rab upstairs. He knocked on her moth er’s door, and June was at his el bow. “It’s Rab,” he called. “June and I have come to tuck you in.” Kitty bade them enter. She was in her dressing-gown, brushing her hair. Her hair was a flaxen yellow. June thought it looked younger than her mother’s face looked; but shp knew why this was so. These two, mother and daughter, were close in many ways.

For three decades excavations at Alesia have been carried on, but during the past few months the “harvest” was so abundant that it has inspired the archeologists, working under the direction of M. E. Esperandieu, to continue their digging with increased vigor. Among the 179 Roman objects found were locks, keys,' cramp irons, nee dles and fragments of pottery; also an elaborately decorated table in the form of an altar'and a striking lion ih bronze (almost intact). A “hypocaust,” an underground fur nace for heating baths, was also dug up. Every American school boy who has plodded through Caesar’s “Com mentaries” is acquainted with Ale sia; it is the place where Vercinge- torix, intrepid chieftain of the Gauls, met his fate and was com pelled to surrender to Caesar. Ale sia today bears the name of Alise- Sainte-Reine and, since the Middle ages, has become a religious shrine much frequented by Burgundians. Saint Reine was °ne bl the early Christian m artyrs in Gaul and every September her fidelity to her faith is evoked in a picturesque proces sion. Each year an average of 10,000 visitors comes to Alesia, some as. religious pilgrims, others as tour ists.

Houston Goudiss Gives PracticalA dvice on Feeding 'Teen A ge Child; Describes Some Special Food N eeds of Both Boys and Girls By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS B EGINNING around the twelfth year in igirls and the thir teenth year in boys, the rate of growth is greatly accel erated. Then children require large quantities of food to meet the needs of their rapidly maturing bodies and they usually develop huge appetites. .Unfortunately, however, they are often inclined to overlook the foods that are most necessary to health, to eat at odd hours, and to stuff them selves with rich combinationsO- that may severely tax the digestive system. Mothers may find it exceed ingly difficult to deal with their offspring all through the ’teens, when physiological changes are taking place which mark the transition from childhood to maturity. For along with the development of his fast growing body, the child’s emotional life un dergoes a pro found and disturb ing change. The boy or girl who was formerly ame nable to direction suddenly exhibits a desire for inde pendence. He be comes jumpy and irritable, and the wish to direct his own life extends even to his choice of food. Mothers must mobilize all the patience and forbearance at their command—must make it their sol emn dnty to see that their ado lescent children have the foods they require for growth, for stam ina, and for building resistance to disease. For the stress and strain of adolescence will be far more easily weathered by boys and girls’ who are properly nourished. Quality Important as Quantity During the years of greatest growth, boys and girls frequently require more food than their fa thers or mothers. But it is es sential that the diet be well bal anced and of the highest nutritive value. It should include an abun dance of easily digested energy foods, such as breadstuffs, pota toes, cereals and macaroni prod ucts, as well as liberal quantities of the more- concentrated fuel foods, such as butter or marga rine. There must be an ample supply of high quality protein— which is furnished by meat, fish, eggs, cheese and milk—to build the new muscle tissue required to cover the lengthening frames of the boys and help build the round ed contours of the girls. Need for Minerals and Vitamins There must be ample amounts of the various minerals—especial ly calcium and phosphorus for the teeth and bones, and to help build sound, healthy nerves; iodine for proper functioning of the thyroid gland; iron for building increased quantities of rich red blood. Every vitamin must be included in the adolescent’s diet to promote nor mal health and development, hut vitamin A is especially valuable at this time of rapid growth, and vitamin B is also required in lib eral amounts to meet the extra de mands of increased activity and growth. A Quart of Milk Daily It is highly desirable that the diet should include a quart of milk daily, because milk is such a splendid source of calcium and vitamin A, as well as other neces sary minerals and vitamins. If -children have been brought up with a wholesome respect for this m aster food, they will continue to drink it during their ’teens. However, if they complain about taking it as a beverage, mothers should see that it is supplied by way of cream soups and sauces, with cereals, and in nutritious pud ding desserts, which can be en riched with eggs, thus providing additional proteins, minerals and vitamins.. -Fruiis and Vegetables Fruits should be eaten freely— at least twice a day—and the high- caloric dried fruits, such as prunes and dates, may be used to ad vantage along with bananas, or anges, grapefruit, apples and oth- er fresh fruits, as well as the fiiany varieties that come in cans. Cooked and raw vegetables should be provided liberally—if possible, at both lunch and dinner .4 Dressing cooked vegetables with1 butter or margarine will increase their fuel value, and make them1’ more satisfying for hungry boys., Girls, who are often finicky eaters - during their adolescent years, can usually be tempted with crisp, raw vegetables served in the form of salads; and protein can be added by means of eggs, cheese, fish -or chicken. Boys Need More Food Tban Girls There is a marked difference be tween the fuel requirements of 'teen age boys and girls. Both must have a well balanced diet. But the boys need many more calories, and therefore should have a more generous allowance of highly concentrated foods which supply necessary fuel with a min imum tax on the digestive system. They should have cereals in gen- erous-size portions—and it’s advis able to choose part of the cereals from those retaining the bran and the germ. And they’ll welcome nourishing desserts, such as cus tard, tapioca, bread and corn starch puddings. Girls Warned Against Reducing Girls, on the other hand, may become fussy and try to cut down radically on the fuel foods, with the foolish idea of keeping fash ionably thin. This must not' be permitted, because it may result in under-nutrition, which opens the way to fatigue and nervousness, and may lead to serious disease. In addition' to wholesome, nour ishing food, ’teeh age boys and girls should have plenty of rest, sunshine and healthful outdoor ex-, ercise. And they also deserve the sympathy and deep understanding of their parents. Questions Answered Mrs. S. B. L.—Sea foods are a rich source of iodine, fresh and canned salmon, cod, crabmeat and oysters being especially notable in this respect. Fruits and vegeta bles grown near the sea also con tain varying amounts, depending upon the iodine content of the wa ter and soil. ®—W N U -C.

Talking about ra s, which is a popular subject these day=, a gent’e- man told us o few days ago that he killed a rat recently which weighed 3J4 pounds. That gentleman is known for truth and veracity. Rats never grew that size in Davie coun ty in the days before the Ntw Dta1. ■ A good democrat who lives on R. 4, tells us he cannot take^The Record because we rap the New- Deal too heavy. . We are not much of a New Dealer Init we read several' New Deal newspapers. It used to be said that “ a hit dog howls,” bu' of course a dead dog can’t even birk. The editor of this oaper is a Re publican and is taking no ac tive part in - the- moyoralitv elec tion. -The Republicans have no ticket on*. So far us we know all the gentlemen who are asking for Office .are good men and true, and 'w ill do everything possible for the welfare of the town. It is up to the voters, regardless of political affiliations, to vote for the brst men for the various offices, as all of them are democrats. We are all citizens and taxpayers and should go to the polls and vote for our choice. T heU nitedS tatesis in debt to ' the tune of $45,000,000,000. North Carolina has about the laigest bonded debt of any state with the exception of New Yotk. It is s-.id that there is only one state out of the 48 that doesn’t owe one penny. Strange as you may think, t.iat state is Nebraska, the home of the late William J. Bryan. It might be a good idea-to seud our Gover nor, the Hon. Clyde Hoev to Ne braska to look things over aud find out why North Canliua can’t g -1 in the class with this mid wes e n s’ate. Nebraska has good roads good schools and fine public build, ings and thev are all paid for. Lots of folks have funuy ideas. Some let their politic! get the bet ter of their judgment. We know democrats who won’t trade with Re publicans, and we know some Re publicans who won’t trade with democrats. They are cutting their throats to spite their faces. Tnere are a few folks who won’t adver. tise in a Republican newspaper lest they offend some of their partisan friends. So far as tve are concern ed, a ,democratic dollar looks, as good, to us as a Republican dol!ar,' and we are just as proud to put a democrat's name on our subscrip tion books as we are to put a Re publican’s name on the said book•■'. We trade with democrat=, Repub lican’s, New Dealers, mugwump-, prohibitionists and all othersclashes of politicians. We depend on all classes to keep this paper going, a merchant told us once that he wouldn't advertise in our paper bt. cause we didn’t reach anybody ex cept poor white trash and negroes. The Record is still in business but that merchant isn’t. Accepts Call To Atlanta. Rev. Marshall L. Mott., And erson, South' Carolina, pastor, accepted a call to the pastorate of the Tabernacle Baptist church of A ’lauta, and will begin his wqrk there on the first of May. The Tabernacle church is one of the largest churches in the city of A t lanta, with a membership of 3,000. Dr. Mott is well known in Mocks- ville, where: he conducted two meetings several years ago.

AU rural schools in DavieCounty have been sent material and invited morning at 10 o’clcck, to witness the planting of the first pole in the Davie Rural Electrification pro ject. President A. E.

C Rankin, county demonstration a gent; Mr. Roan, superintendent of Sardoni Construction Co., Wilkes- Barre, Pa.; and I. B. Cain, Secre- tary-Treasurer of the Davle R. E. A.

PARTON EW YORK.—On August 2 of this _ year, Dr. Gustavus Adolphus Eisen will be 92 years old. It was his research that established, so_far n _. . without authori-Or. Etsen at 91 tative chal- StiuDeloesInto lenge, the Chal- PastandFuture ice °£ Antiochas the “oldest surviving record of the faith of the Apostles.” The chalice was exhibited during holy week at St. Thom as Episcopal church, New York, with the conjecture that its inner cup may have been the beginning of the legend of the Holy Grail. In a book published in 1926, Doctor Eisen established the use of the chalice in the Church at Antioch not later than the end of the first cen tury of the Christian era. At the age of 85, Doctor Eisen learned to decipher cuneiform inscriptions, to write a treatise on Mesopotamian cylindrical seals, or glyptics. In 1936, he published 15 volumes summa rizing his .research in legends of the Holy Grail, and is now at work on i hdies of early por traits of Christ and the apostles. His eyesight and hearing are still good and he pnts in a full working day. ‘ Doctor Eisen has published more than 150 books covering his amazing range of inquiry in a half-dozen sciences, including studies of earth works, fig culture, archeology, an cient grass, portraits of George Washington and geological, zoologi cal and botanical subjects. ‘ Born in Sweden, he was a frail child, unable to attend school, fre- w quently in theH orticulture Is country, with M odern Field tutors w h o O ftheScien tist stimulated hisscientific inter ests. In the University of Upsala, he wrote a thesis on earthworks which attracted the attention of Charles Darwin. His correspond ence with Darwin put him in touch with Alexander E. Agassiz, the American naturalist, and, when he obtained his doctorate in 1873 and removed to America, the two men formed, a long and fruitful associa tion. For 40 years, Doctor Eisen was on the Pacific coast, working at times with the late Luther Bur bank on plant research. Last year, the California Academy of Science honored him as the founder of the state’s great fig-growing industry. Smyrna figs frequently had been taken to California, but there was no yield. Doctor Eisen studied this problem and reached the conclusion that the failure was due to lack of fer tilization. Male trees were brought over and California be gan gathering fig crops. The chalice, which had ,been found in the ancient ruins of Antioch in 1910 and placed in the Louvre, in Paris, was brought to this country in 1914, to safeguard it during the war. Doctor Eisen’s conclusion was that it had been made by a great Roman artist, Appollodorus, who lived from 50 to 120 A. D. Doctor Eisen’s avid scientific studies continue on, unabated, into his tenth decade. He is a bachelor. None has ranged farther into the past, while pressing eagerly into the future in his zest for knowledge. Q N A cotton patch in the high mountains of North Carolina, a lad leaned on his hoe, and, in his imagination, followed out in the _ world the 11:15 Gyroscope A ids train, in the L adW ith H oein valley far be- W h irltoW ealth low. One day,he did follow the lingering plume of smoke and that is linked, in the long chain of causation; with the Sperry corporation’s harbinger of one more spring. The lad with the hoe, one Thomas A. Morgan, president of the corpo ration, announces a net income of $4,961,398 for 1938, against $2,949,860 the year before. He Joined the navy when he hung up his hoe, qualified as an electrician, and, running a gyro scope, sank his career in this magic whirligig. That geared him in with the Sperry com pany, and, just as the great war was breaking, he chased the Czar’s navy all over the far- eastern map to sell it gyro scopes. He caught up with it and rang up a sale, in one of . the epics of free American en terprise. Thereafter he planted gyroscopes on all the great fighting ships of the world and sailed a true course to the presidency of the Sperry cor poration in 1928. He became one of the grand panjandrums of aviation. He says he got where he is by thinking of today, and its demands, rather than of yesterday or tomor row. He had ten months' schooling when he trailed the train in the valley. © Consolidated News Feature*.WNU Service.

S t a r D u s t ★ Sirett Again as Escape ★ Picture Valentino's Life ★ O n the Screen M ap B y V irg in ia V a l e ------ F OR the first time in a life time during which she has shown deep interest in mo tion pictures, the Dowager Queen Mary of Great Britain recently visited a. motion pic ture studio. She was shown around his studios by Alex ander Korda, and watched a group recording war songs for the picture, “Four Feathers.” She also saw two reels of the picture. Some years ago Myma Loy re belled against playing siren roles. She showed what she could do in the part of a delightful wife in “The Thin Man,” and since then she’s been playing delightful wives until she’s sick unto death of them, too. So now she’ll turn siren again, as “Lady Esketh,” in “The Bains Came,” the picture version of that & MXRNA LOT very good book that everybody was reading a year or so ago. After that she’ll'play another young wom an who is something less than per fect when she is co-starred with Spencer Tracy in “Sea of Grass,” in a role that will have to be con siderably rewritten if the censors are to approve of it. A picture based on the life ot Rudolph Valentino is to reach the screen at last. It is one of the five productions to be released through United Artists in 1939-40 by Edward Small Productions, Inc. And vari ous old newspaper men are waiting for it with considerable interest, wondering how certain parts of that biography will be fixed up so that they are fit for the screen. Two Texas cities, Fort Worth and San Antonio, took particular interest when two recent R. K. O. pictures were released. One was Douglas Corrigan’s “The Flying Irishman,” because it was in San Antonio that Corrigan worked as a newsboy to support his mother after his father deserted the family. Fort Worth wanted to see “The Story of Vernon Castle,” with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, because it was at Benbrook field, Fort Worth, that Castle crashed his plane to avoid colliding in mid-air with another. Incidentally, Mrs. Castle, who act ed as technical director for the picture, is very much pleased with Astaire’s portrayal of her famous husband. She wasn’t so well satis fied with the agile Ginger’s per formance as his wife, because, as she said, she couldn’t imagine her self as a blonde. Casting Henry Fonda in a leading role in “The Story of Alexander Graham Bell” was wha't’s known as a natural. Fonda himself was de lighted. For when he was in high school he decided that his career in life would have something to do with the telephone business, if he had anything to say about it. During his last two years in high school he worked as a “trouble shooter,” and when he got his de gree from the University of Minne sota his thesis was on communication systems, especially the tele phone and telegraph. It was just by accident that he worked with a Lit tle Theater group and finally lsmded in the movies. The first radio program to ar range for an exhibit at the New York World’s fair is Dave Elman’s “Hobby Lobby.” A special build ing is being erected, and thousands of specimens of hobbies will be on display. In addition, Elman has ar ranged for hobbyists who have been on his programs to appear at the exhibit and explain their bab bies.— *— ODDS AND ENDS — Hollyaoofi glamour girls who appear as guest stars on 4tThe CiWen broadcasts usually de mand that Cary Grant play opposite them . . .

Abra ham Wood of Fort Henry (now Petersburg) in Virginia sent.James Needham, a South Carolina gentle man, and a lad named Gabriel Ar thur into the Southern Appalachians to trade with the Cherokees. They were warmly welcomed but later Needham was murdered by a treach erous Occaneechi brave. The Cherokee chief promised Arthur to escort him home the fol lowing spring. In the meantime he took Arthur to a village of friendly Mohetons on the banks of the Great Kanawha. Returning from this visit the Cherokees went out of their way to attack a village of Shawnees. In the battle which followed the Eng lish lad was wounded twice by ar rows and taken prisoner by the Shawnees. Because he had long hair, the Shawnees suspected that their cap tive was not a Cherokee and when they scoured off the accumulated dirt they were amazed at his white skin. When he told them, by sign talk, that he would return to trade with them if they would release him, they promptly sent him on his way to the Cherokee country. Reaching the town of his former friends, he set out for Fort Henry the following spring accompanied by 18 Cherokee laden with furs for trad ing. Narrowly escaping death at the hands of the hostile Occaneechies, Arthur reached his home after one of the most eventful experiences that probably ever befell an English lad of his years. He had penetrated far ther into the Ohio country than any of his fellow-Englishmen but history does not record whether or not he lived to see his people triumph over the French in their contest for that rich land. A m erica’s ‘P rim e M in ister’ I N 1736, Christian Priber arrived in the Cherokee Indian village of Great Tellico in what is now east Tennessee. He had left in South Carolina everything he owned ex cept some books and writing ma terials. Priber soon won the friendship of the Indians by adopting their dress and mode of living and insured their further confidence by marrying the daughter of Moytoy, chief of the tribe. Then, as one_of their own, he taught the redskins to read and write. Having won their deep respect and encouraged their dependence upon his plans, he staged an im pressive ceremony. While war drums thumped, he, the mild-man nered teacher, short in stature, un impressive in a p p e a r a n c e , “crowned” the tall and stately Moy- toy “Emperour” of the “Kingdom of Paradise." Diplomatically, he created other titles for the lesser chiefs and there was a colorful cere mony as they paraded before the throne of their “emperour.” But, most important of all, was Christian Priber’s own appointment as “prime minister.” His next step was his undoing. He- sent an “official” communication from Great Tellico, capital of the Cherokee “kingdom," to the gover nor at Charleston telling him that the English must leave America. Not because they took him serious ly, but because they feared French influence, the English military- au thorities captured America’s only “prime minister" and keDt him Dris- oner in Frederica, Ga., until he died.• e • S ch erm erh o o rn ’s R id e Listen my reader and you shall learn Of the midnight ride of Schermerhoorn DAUL REVERE didn't have such a hard time of. it in April. 1775. when he rode 15 miles on me nest turnpikes in the colonies to be the inspiration for Longfellow’s famous poem. But when Symon Schermer- hoora, on the night of .February 8, 1690, rode from Schenectady, N. Y., to Fort Orange (Albany), he made the most courageous ride in Ameri can history. Symon was in the village of Sche nectady on the night it was de stroyed by the French and Indians. He knew that the small garrison of 24 men could not resist very long and that the attackers, flushed by victory, probably would go on to Fort Orange for more plunder. It was bitter cold and the snow was coming thick and fast. Although wounded in the thigh, he seized a stray horse and started the 20-mile ride of warning. Schermerhoorn rode for six hours plunging through drifts that were impassable a few hours later. In spite.of his wound and the severe weather and the fact that he passed many farm houses where others could have taken over his mission, he kept courageously on until he reached Fort Orange. In front of the gates, gasping warning, he collapsed. The severe conditions under which he made his ride are shown by the fact that the French and Indians were unable to continue their foray and were forced to return to Canada. ® Western Newspaper Union. Hats With Veiling Galore : Are in a Capricious Mood By GHERIE NICHOLAS V /I TI.I .INERY nas indeed come AV-1 into its own this spring. The new hats are everything a spring hat should be—the most refreshing ly springlike, hats that have graced fashion’s stage for many a season In them romance in millinery has been recaptured. The very ; ecstasy of spring breathes through the flowers that bedeck the pretty straws and through the ribbons and fantastic scarf trimmings on colorful felts and suedes, likewise through the dainty lace and immaculate lingerie trims, new this season, and through the glorified spring colorings and beyond all the final touch of charm is achieved via mists of frivolous whimsical veiling that swirls and whirls and cuts pretty capers throughout the entire picture. You can be as choosy as you like in selecting your spring bonnet. Whether you decide on one of the very new and amusing elfish tall crowns that style the latest models or whether you declare in favor of a crownless type, whether, your hat be huge of brim or have no brim at all (flower toques with pert bon bon colored veils are quite the rage) whether it be a breton or Gibson girl sailor you choose, or if you are ultra enough to want one of the very smart Paris-inspired bonnet types that tie under the chin, no m at ter in what direction fancy leads you, you can’t go wrong in fashion’s eyes. New in crowns is the postilion. See it pictured in the group to the left above. This model in miniature blue (an attractive blue featured this season) felt is trimmed with contrasting plaid taffeta ribbon and an allover crisp blue veiL Plaids and stripes have invaded the mil linery world with great display. Hat and bag. sets of striking plaids or stripes are among the fetching con ceits, that tune to the enthusiasm shown for high color. Veilings galore are enlivening the millinery scene this spring. The. hat without a veil is the exception rather than the rule. In arranging veils you are supposed to do just as fancy dictates, die more whimsical, the more erratic, the more altogeth er adorably irresponsible so far as following form and conventions, the smarter. Navy is classic for spring suits, coats and dresses. The navy hlue hat of chic peach-basket variety shown below to the left in the pic ture is topped off with a cluster of soft pink ribbon bows nestled in side the top of the crown. A sheer navy veil is draped around the crown with ends flying in the back. This model is also available in other fashionable color combinations.' Black hats with colorful accents are an accepted mode for dressy spring wear. The "crown of the black felt Wateau, shown above to the right, is sprightly decked with chartreuse and fuchsia flowers. The big bow at the back is of stiff char treuse veiling. With her black lace afternoon dress Hildegarde, glamorous Amer ican radio songstress, wears a black felt turban with bright Tuscan straw brim as pictured below to the right in the group. The newer shallow-crowned bre- tons stress forward moving slightly rolled brims higher at the back than- front as pictured in the inset below. This charming model is a Pixie green felt with contrasting veil and ribbon band in navy. It is also seen Jn various other color combina tions. © Western Newspaper Union. B o u q u e t B r a c e l e t s Newest fashion whimsy is to wear bouquet bracelets matched to the color of your nails. Flowers on 'a band of velvet that are matched to nail-polish shades will make your hands the talk of the card table. Flowers in fuchsia are matched to fuchsia polish, pale faun-pink buds are matched to regency, tulip nails match tiny tulips. Winning hands at beauty as well as at card table may be graced with dainty orchids at each wrist as pictured. . Aromatic Earrings Perfumed earrings are a recent whimsy. They come in the form of tiny metal flowers, in color to match your ensemble. The perfume fra grance rises through a gold mesh center from a wad of cotton insert ed below. C o m b i n i n g J a c k e t B e i n g M o d e r n i z e d The fussy “combining jacket” that mother used to wear has been super seded by a trim rubber cape which has many other uses besides keep ing stray hairs from settling on a clean dress or blouse. Slipped on and off in a jiffy, it is ideal for re pairing complexions and for wash ing up at odd moments when there isn’t time to disrobe. One of the newest make-up capes on the market has a little pocket in the form of a flower for holding hair pins, powder puff, or comb. The soft rubberized fabric takes to soap and water like a dish cloth, thus making it possible to keep its deli cate pastel colors flower-fresh. F a s h i o n D e s i g n e r s T u r n L i l a c - M i n d e d Each season this flower or that flower is especially featured. Paris milliners have turned lilac-mjnded this spring, either trimming with li lac clusters or in some instances making toques and even tiny sailor hats of them. Wear a lilac spray on your dark or light coat, it is one of the popular flowers of the moment in fashion’s realm. Carnations are also worn.

The whole of life calls for decisions, many of which look quite innocent and un important, but upon which the des tiny of an entire Ufe may turn. Who does not recall the poet’s lament over the want of an ordinary horse shoe nail which resulted in the loss of the shoe, which disabled the horse, whose rider was lost, with the result that the battle went against his people. Since the great issues of life may turn on the simplest of choices, we need guidance at every point in life. This need has been recognized by those who would make merchandise of their neighbors. Quacks and charlatans offer guidance by every method, from reading the palm, looking at the stars, or consulting the spirits, to those smug enter prises which pose as spiritual and talk much of prayer, but which do not Honor the name of Chifist nor recognize Him as Redeemer and Lord. One of the glories of the Christian faith is that the beUever is indwelt by the third person of the Trinity, the. Holy Spirit Himself, who is ready and willing to give divine guidance in every detail of life from the smaUest to the greatest We study today the coming of the gospel into Europe, and that means through our forefathers to America. We consider what from our view point was a crucial point in the his tory of the Church. Thanks be to God that His servant Paul 'was in that hour obedient to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Observe that the gospel came to Europe I. By Providential Hindrance (15: 36; 16:4-8), Not only the steps, but also the stops of a good man are ordered of the Lord. That is not an easy les son to learn. We may be as much in the will of the Lord when all of our efforts seem to be thwarted as when they prosper. Let us not for get it. Paul had set out on a second jour ney to carry out a follow-up cam paign in the cities where he had al ready preached. This was a good plan and had God’s blessing (see v. 5). But soon we find that word “forbidden” (v. 6 ) and then “suf fered not” (v. 7). The Holy Spirit began to’ close doors to the gospel preacher. Now what? Shall he go on in determined self-will? Or shall he become discouraged and embit tered in his soul? No, let him wait, for God is guiding him by provi dential hindrance, which is soon to bo followed H. By Divine Guidance (16:9, 10). The Spirit spoke to Paul in a vision revealing the divine purpose that the gospel should go over into Macedonia. The Spirit leads in our day, possibly not by visions, but by impelling inward prompting com plemented and checked by the teaching of.Scripture and by provi dential circumstances, and a man may know what is the will of God. A word of caution is needed at this point Some earnest Christian people go astray by projecting their own desires and purposes into the place where they come to regard them as the Wrill of God, and thus do themselves and others, and Christianity itself much harm. The three things already mentioned should agree—(I) the inner prompt ing of the Spirit, (2) the teaching of God’s Word, and (3) God’s hand in our outward circumstances. HI. Through a Faithful Witness (W . 11-14). ■ The gospel came to Europe be cause Paul and his fellow workers were faithful to their calling. When God led, they went to Macedoiua (w . 11, 12), where they sought out those who were in the place of prayer (v. 13). Paul spoke to them about Christ (v. 14). It is one thing to have a vision, it is another thing to be obedient to that vision (Acts 26:19). There are some who talk much of their consecration to God, but. who give little evidence of’ it. The little girl was right (though her grammar was wrong) when she said, “It’s better to walk your talk than to talk your walk.” IV. Through a Receptive Heart (w . 14, 15). .- „ ' God sent an obedient messenger to the place where He had a pre pared heart (v. 14). Space forbids much reference to this godly, suc cessful business woman and house mother, but we do note that she not only received the Word of God into her own heart, but at once gave herself to the task of passing it on. The first thing she could do was to give aid and comfort to the messenger of the truth,'and she did that at once. Be assured that from that day on she did all shecbuld to prosper the gospel on its way through Europe and to .the ends of the earth. Have wo done .likewise? 4 - Ruth Wyetii Spears 3 BLACK A N D 2 PEACOCK BLUE OVALS - BORDER RUST REDJ BLACK AND PEA COCK BLUE THE FIRST ROW OF EACH 0VALI4£L0NG Grandmother Surprised Everyone. V E S , a certain grandmother sur-1 prised everybody—even her self. She had always enjoyed making hit and miss rag rugs in cheery colors.. Then one day her favorite grandson brought home the girl' he was going to marry. She was a bright young thing, and chattered away about color schemes for her new home. The living room and hall were to be peacock blue and rust with touches of black. “Well, peacock is just a greenish blue,” thought Grandmother, “and rust is a brownish red.” So she got out her dye pot and her best Wool rags, and she mixed and she dipped and dipped again. Then, instead of sewing her braided rags into one big oval, she made five ovals of the size shown here-r3 black and 2 blue. She sewed these together, then around them came 4 rows of rust; 2 rows of black next; then 4 of rust; I of black; 4 blue; 2 black; then 8 rows of blue around the outside. When the wedding day arrived this gift was a great surprise; even Grandmother was amazed at how handsome it looked at the foot of the stairs in the new house. Women everywhere are using their leisure to make their homes more attractive, with slipcovers; curtains; bedspreads and lamp shades. They are again taking up embroidery and handwork so that they may beautify their homes and there is a revival of interest in old time hand crafts.
