The Man And The Job.
Statesville Daily.
Somebody’s going to have to run
for the presidency under the Demo
cratic banner. It is barely possible
that some fellow will be willing to
make the sacrifice. Certain modist
ones are allowing their friends to
push them out -front for the voters
to see, and in calling their gaits,
these campaign managers either
show a fine sense of humor, else
they are employing a technique that
doesn’t reflect much respect forrbe
intelligence and honest purpose of
the voter.
There is the barest intimation
that they are picturing their candi
date in a way that will appeal .to
all men of all creeds and political
philosophies.
Take the Garner candidacy, for
instance. The build up is approach
ed from all angles. Those wto
would have their President rugged,
inside and out, are told how agon,
ized “Cactus Jack” was over hav
ing to weaT formal attire at tVe
functions planned for our recent-
royal visitors.
And presuming that the voters
are more interested in the personal
habits of their choke than in bis
abifity to guide the destiny of tte
nation for four years, and maybe
eight, these boosters remind that
Mr. Garner likes to hunt and fisb,
that be plays a canny game of po
ker, that be cusses like a sailor on
occasion, that he doesn’t balk at a
mint julip, that he tells a smutty
joke well, and that he knows how
to play politics like a house afire,
and that he has an abundance of
good old boss sense that directs his
way about.
But ii Mr. Garner has any pro
found convictions on any subject
neither be nor his advance agents
have trotted them out. His long
record in Washington doesn't show
any outstanding achievement or
undaunted sailing agaiust .the cur
rent. As a hard-boiled, farsighted,
scheming and successful politician,
Mr. Garner bas been a wow. But
if he has any worth while program
upon which he is willing to stand
or fall, it bas not yet been divulged.
Asone competent and usually
cautious observer puts it: “Instead
of trving to sell Mr. Garner as a
man with ideas and ability, bis pro
ponents, are creating a legendary
oaf, who is not at home in civilized
society.” • Maybe they have cor
rectly figured out ]iist how gulli
ble the Iieople are—and maybe not.
My Notions
John Wesley Clay, in Winston
Journal.
We see in the papers that Ur.
Roosevelt has served notice on the
Democratic party that unless they
nominate a ••progressive” next year
he will get out. ■ That is the best
political news we have heard for
many a moon. The sooner a rule or
rain person' gets out of an; post the
better.
Infact, it might be better to turn
the government over to the Republi
cans, anyway. The greatest eras of
prosperity this country has ever
known were under Republican ad»
ministrations while the^ greatest pe
riods have been under Democratic
rule.
We Demoerata have not had en
ough experience in running the na
tional government to be trusted with
it. We’re like labor, we have no set*
tied policy. <
Under the new deal labor got the
biggest ‘'break;” it ever had, but
look at labor, pulling itself to pieces.
Because of the depression the Demo
crats got tee biggest “break” they
ever had. Thef whoIe works ^Were
turned over to 'em. They proceed'
ed tear up the works and are'now
busy tearing eatjh other up.

Annual Reunions.
Lexington Dispatch.
K lf ,- tbe average ,.person in these
parts would pick up a newspaper
and in it read several announce
ments stating that-.such a family
would have its umoteeuth annual
reunion on Ihe third. Sunday at
Hopedale church, he would know
that it was the month of August.
For that has bgcome Tthe favored
month for these family gatherings
that are growing in' numbers and
interest each year.
Used to be that a family reunion
meant that Pa and Ma invited In
the children, for dinner. som*. Sun*
day during the summer. It’s gone
far beyond that now, for with our
yen to go places and do things, we
have made an art out of our family
gatherings.
We’ve enlarged the scope inten
sively. Now a family gathering
will include relatives to the 33rd
degree and then some, relatives by
marriage, by intimacy, or by guess.
Or if you're a friend of the family,
then you’re invited to come right a-
long.
And no longer do .the old folks
sit around around and talk a bit
while the youngsters play in the
shade of the trees. No sir. These
days we must have a speaker, and
the greater the renown of tbe speak
er, the more pleasantly it reflects
upon us a family. Then we must
have one to six quartets to render
music at any and all hours during
the day.'. Then there must be the
historian who traces the family
from its arrival in America to the
present day. There is a service for
members who have, passed on dur
ing the year. The minister makes
an address and there are brief talks
from ibis and that one.
But the dinner remains the same.
In the announcements, there is. al
most always tbe injunction “Bring
well-filled baskets,"' They are
brought. . The long table is espe
cially set up for tlie feast, tbe bas
kets are placed on tbe ground along
side, white cloths are laid on the
rough boards, and on the cloths are
spread the eatables. Platters of
fried chicken. Fried bam. Sausage
that bad been canned. . Sandwich
after sandwich.. Cakes and cakes.
Pies. Pickles and preserves. It
seems as if the baskets can never
be emotied. But eventually they
are and now h the time to say that
the table groans under the weight
of the food. There is . a. silence
while the president of the clan calls
upon Rev. Smith to say a word of
thanks. He* does, and tbe wind
blows lazily through bis hair as
youngster wonder if he’ll ever get
through. He finally says “Amen.”
“Don’t be bashful now,’? urge tbe
womenfolks, as if such urging were
necessary.: And the family de
monstrates its solidarity in an un
animous attack on the vittles.
Great institutions, these family
reunions.
Hoey Opposes Change In

asked tp comment on the:proposal of
President Roosevelt to change the
date of TOanksgiviiig Qiy1 said. that

Softies AU of Us.
Federal employes in Washington
during hottest cf many hot spells
dufing the summer, have been per
mitted to drop what-ever they may
have been doing, if anything, and
^o home on .'account of tbe fact that
heir, workin quarters were not air.
conditioned.
The incident at once will impress
as showing the humaneness of t’ne
bigb authorities in these depart
ments.
It ought to impress, also, as in
dicating that the American people
seem more and; more to be getting
around to that condition in which
they .are not abie to "take it.”
We wonder what the workers
anywhere, either those in private
pursuits or public positions, would
have thought 50 years ago if some
body had suggested to them that
they ought to go and ask tbe boss
to get off on , account of the hot
weather.
Or what put forefathers woutd
have said had it been suggested to
them tbat their decendents would
ever come to the point that they
would demand relief from tebir
work because their offices were not
airconditioned, granted tbe incredi-
supposition that they would have
surmised what .air-coudiliouing
might mean!,.
It does get powerfully uncomfort
able,‘of course';- in extremely hot
weather sitting in offices unprotect-
from the ,burning rays of the sun
and with little ,ventilation, and try
to-calculate how much the Federal

Democrat Tells The
Truth.
R. M, Hanes, prominent Win
ston-Salem democrat, in a speech
before the Charlotte Rotary Club,
among other things, said:
From July 1932 to July 1939 our
Federal expenditures amounted to
more than fifty-three billions of
dollars. In sevon years, therefore,
we spent, as a nation, twice as much
as we spent from the time of its
creation to the fiscal, year in 1916
—'.a period of 127 years, including
ail our war? prior to the World
War.
This terrific increase in the nat
ional spending has taken place dur
ing a time when we have been at
peace and when our national, in
come bas been subnormal. The
result has beeu that the Fed< rat
spending during the pa»t seven
years has been 13 ^ per cent of the
total national income as against less
than 6 per cent during the preced
ing ten years.
The horror of it all is tbat after
this profligate spending we have
more unemployed and more on re
lief today than we had four years
ago.
No one but the vet y simple • and
greatlv misled would cnntcnd that
these hiliions, or anv Kfett percent
age of thtni, have beeu used en
tirely to prevent human misery cr
to increase, bnthan happiness. Tbe

Maine, tbe Ship Csral in Florida,
or nearer home, the Port at More-
head Citv, to ment:ou only a few
of the thousands of improvident
expenditures that could be cited,
aretuo fresh in our memories for
us to be fooled at out vvlice great
expenditures have gone—Tbe State.
That Man’s In Again.
That mysterious “pruminent busi-
new man” who always bobs up op
portunely either to pat the New Deal
on the back or. if in critical mood, to
beat a hasty retreat before the logic
of the President is in again.
Who he is or where he comes front
is just as much of a mystery as "the
farm on which the President breeds
those which live in high hats. Iv
He’s tbe same fellow, you mayre-
m^mber, who suddenly turned npto
assure the President tbat brines?
men who were expressing frar of a
national debt <.f more than $40,000,-
OOO simply did not know wtiat they
were talking about and that an $80,-
000 .000,000 debt would be a mere
drop in tbe bucket. , '
He is the very same crap who told
the President to pay no attention to
complaints about the NeW Deal’s
taxing policies because neither the
the taxing method in tbe or the tax
burden had any bearing upon busi
ness recovery.
Yes, he is the same business man
who had no answer last spring when
the President pulled out tbe budget
and asked him when he.would begin
to cut it
Now he pop* up at just the right
right time for the President with
the news that the Senate’s refusal to
c insider neutrality legislation has
killed a “nice little boom.” ■
This time it was the President who
had. no answer although there was
one ready at hand in rising business
iudices and soaring prices on the Be*
curities exchanges;
It was left to Senator AHhur Van*

“ What' boom? The third - term

States Steel corporation goes from
his home at 21 East Seventy-Ninth

He eats no lunch to save more time.
He euts through formalities with
his many business callers and saves more.
Stettinius is that reputed rar
ity, a rich man’s son who has
made good.' His father became
an industrial leader in St. Louis,
and was invited to become a
Morgan partner. The son lost
little time after his graduation
from the University of Virginia
in beginning his business ca
reer, not because he had to, but
because he wanted to work. He
was 24 years old when he went
into General Motors in 1924, 31
when he became vice president,
34 when he was made vice chair
man of the finance committee
of V. S. Steel and 38 when he
took the top job as chairman of
. the board.
Modernity stands out in the strong
lines of his figure, his crisp speech,
and his attitude toward problems of
politics and business. They say he nearly fainted when he first saw the
office furniture of the 21 floors of
the Steel Corporation building after
he became chairman. The rolltop
desks and similar items were un
changed since the days of Judge
Gary. The refurnishing began immediately under Stettinius and was
thorough.
Mr. Stettinius plays neither bridge
nor golf; he takes his exercise on
the bedroom floor, and occasionally
goes out to his 500-acre farm in Vir
ginia. •---

HEZEKIAH: A KING WHO
REMEMBERED GOD
LESSON TEXT—n ClironIcles 30:13-22.GOLDEN TEXT—Turn us again. O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.—Psalm 80:3.
The way out—that seems to be the
chief object of the search of men.
Tfie world ‘is in what seems like
hopeless confusion with the immi
nent danger of a devastating explo
sion which may in the judgment of some destroy civilization. Politics,
economics, education, yes,- even re
ligion, have tried their hands at
solving the problem and we seem to be worse off than ever. Conditions
are much as they were when Heze-
kiah came to the throne after the
death of his wicked father Ahab,
who had brought Judah into moral,
spiritual, and national declension
and disgrace.
TEe young king brought the na
tion back within a few years to
peace and prosperity. How did he
do it? He did not do it. God did it,
and He did it because Hezekiah re
membered Him and led His people
in a return to God, in a recognition
of His Word, and to restored wor
ship. God therefore prospered them.
It is significant that while our lesson is about King Hezekiah, his per
son quickly recedes into Uie background of our thinking and God is
given our attention and our praise.
Truly great men do not magnify themselves or their own names, but
point by their very greatness to the
eternal God to whdm they give the
glory. Let us consider how God worked through Hezekiah.
I. A Cleansed Temple.
Our lesson calls for attention to the context. Read chapter 29 and
learn how the priests and Levites
first were directed by the king to
cleanse the temple which had suf
fered degradation and disgrace under King Ahab. Sixteen days were
devoted to a thorough clean-up.
That’s a good place to 'Start.
America, how about cleaning up our
churches? Some of them need atten
tion to their physical property, cleaning and rehabilitation. Others
are beautifully - kept up as far as
the building is concerned, but the rubbish is in the teaching and in the
manner of worship. Let’s clean that
up too.
II. A Prepared Priesthood.
Hezekiah gathered the scattered
priests and Levites, but he did not
permit them to serve in the temple
until they had been sanctified and prepared for their work. The men
who stand in the sanctuary to direct the worship of God must not only be
men of God’s own choosing, but they must be cleansed by the blood. As the sacrifices were offered in Heze-
kiah’s day, so for us has Ond been
given in holy sacrifice, and unless
those who profess to be His min
isters have been cleansed by His
blood they have no proper place in
His service or in the sanctuary.III. A Purified People.
The people of the nation were not
ready for God’s blessing. Some of
those in the northern kingdom, to
whom the royal invitation had gra
ciously been extended to come to
the Passover, scorned the invitation
(30:10). There was nothing that
could be dpne for them. But others humbled themselves and came (v.
11), and those in Judah came out in
a great assembly (w. 12, 13).
Observe carefully that this was
more than a great homecoming or
jubilee event. The people were here
to worship God and they needed to be prepared by being “healed” of their sins (w. 18, .20). They too
needed the cleansing blood. It is the
only way even now, for “without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin” (Heb. 9:22). Sin is
what we must be cleansed from and healed of if God is to bless our land.
IV. A Feast of Joy and Blessing.
The nation and its leaders kept the
feast not only for seven days, for
they were not satisfied with this, but
they kept it for seven more days.
Think of mhriy-of us who can hardly
sit through an hour of service on
Simday morning, and if we also go
to Sunday school we are quite worn
out. It is just "impossible” for us
to get to the Sunday evening serv
ice or to the midweek pfayer meet
ing. Evidently we do not have the
spirit of the people of Hezekiah’s
day or the joy that they found in
their hearts as they worshiped God. j
If we did, we would seek His house j
and give ourselves gladly to His !
worship. The result would be that :
we would receive some of the great blessings which came to thq people of Judah. /
The reading of H Chronicles 31’
and 32 will reveal how God respond
ed to the cry of. His people and how
He blessed and prospered them. He is the same God today and He
can and will do wondrous things for
those who trust and honor Him.
Commonest FanIts -
Some of the commonest faults of thought and work are those which come from thinking too poorly of
our own lives and of. that which must rightly be demanded of us.—
Bishop Paget.

QUESTIONS
Keeping Bread.—Bread keeps
best in an earthenware pan. Cov
er the pan with a board, and over the board place a damp cloth. ...
Cleaning Greens.—A teaspoon of
salt added to each quart of water
used in cleaning spinach, water
cress and other small-leaved
greens will help to draw out small insects which may be in them. ...
For Cocoa Stains.—To remove chocolate or cocoa stains, cover
the stained area with cold water.
Then sprinkle a thin layer of pow
dered borax over the stain. After
about 10 minutes, rinse well in boiling water....
Applying FIant Food.—Never
apply plant food when grass is wet. Do not put it on the leaves
or stalks of flowers or vegetables,
or in direct contact with seed or
the roots of plants. Where water is
available thoroughly water the
grass or garden ite r feeding.-
Where water is not available brush
the plant food off the blades of
grass by running the back of a rake, or a light weight doormat,
over the lawn. This may also be
done by sweeping with a broom. ...
Glazed Fie Crust.—If you wish pie crust to have a glazed appear
ance paint it over with a pastry
brush with cream or. with beaten egg and water and bake in a hot oven 20 to 40 minutes, according
to contents of pie....
Restoring Brass. — Tarnished, brass can be restored to its for
mer brightness by applying a little methylated spirit on a soft cloth.
Add a few drops of this spirit to
rinsing water for organdie, mus
lin and table linen to obtain the
slight stiffness required....
Melon in Refrigerator. — For
storing melon pieces in the refrig
erator, wrap them in waxed paper
held in place with rubber bands.
This will keep the flavor from
permeating such mild-flavored foods as milk and butter....
Rest for Calla Lily.—The calla lily should be rested for a month
during the latter part of the sum
mer by allowing the soil in the pot to become bone-dry. Set the pot in
an inch of water by the first of October and keep it so, and you
should have fine blooms for Easter.

Sim ple L ije on Coins
The total number of descendants
of any colonial family that settled in this country between 1620 and
1640 is estimated to be more than two hundred thousand.
England’s aleconners, who prac
ticed their profession of testing ale and beer up to a few years ago,
determined the sugar content by
p6uring some of the liquor on a
wooden stool and then sitting on it.
If their leather breeches stuck, they considered the brew satisfac
tory.Today many oil tankers plying
the West coast do not have to
“come in” for loading, reports
Collier’s. They get their cargoes through a buoy-marked flexible
jhose attached to a huge pipe that runs out into the Pacific from a
point near San Luis Obispo.AU fees of American attorneys

United States Code, for example,
prohibits a lawyer from charging
his client more than $10 for prose

6Swing Style’ Reading Not New;
The Greeks Had a Word for It
Every now and then, the news
papers report a “brand new” idea
or a “brand new” discovery.
Take, for instance, the report about “swing treading.” Accord
ing to recent' headlines, “swinjg
reading” is the latest thing imag
inable—the invention of two smart
eye doctQrs in Los Angeles.
As the papers say, the doctors
disclosed their “idea” a short time
ago at a national convention of the
American Optometric association. Advocating a new system of print-
ing in “swing style,” the doctors said they had something that
woidd help the eyes. In short,
they urged this type of thing:
Many of the convention delegates

.enif saw re
This little excerpt must be read
by swinging the eyes left to right
along one line, then right to left
along the next, and so on.
Well, we don’t like to make our
selves seem scholarly, but the doc
tors have unwittingly dug up something pretty old. As a mat
ter of fact, the ancient Greeks
had a word for it, used the system
and gave it up. They called it
boustrophedon, and you can find
the word in a good dictionary even
to this day. Pronounced boo-stro-
fee-don, with the accent on the
third syllable, it means literally “turning like oxen in plowing.”
It is a compound of two Greek
words—bous, meaning ox, and
strephein, meaning to turn.
P. S. Incidentally, the excerpt
quoted above reads normally this way: “Many of the convention
delegates yesterday shunned ses-
isions for a day on the golf course.
The weather was fine.”
Anybody else got a new idea?—
Pathfinder.
Finally Name Was 0. K.
Though Not ‘O ’ but ‘K*
A gentleman had completed his
purchases, and the clerk, in filling
out the sales slip, asked:“What is the name, please?”
“Jepson,” replied our hero. “Six
teen twenty-one West—”“Your first initial, please.”
“Oh, K.”
“O. K. Jepson.”
“I said ‘Oh. "
“O. Jepson.”
“No. Rub out the O.”
The clerk began to look hag-
gard.“Your initials again, please?”
"I Said ‘K.’ ”“Pardon, you said '0. K.’"
“I said ‘Oh’—”“Just now you said ‘K.’ ”
“I said ‘Oh,’ because I didn’t
understand what you were asking
me. I didn’t mean it was my ini-' tial. My name is Kirby Jepson.” “Oh."
“No. Not 0, but K. Here, give
me the pencil and I’ll write it myself. There, I guess it’s O. K.
now.”—Annapolis Log.

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS
Keeping Bread.—Bread keeps
best in an earthenware pan. Cov
er the pan with a board, and over the board place a damp cloth.
* * *
Cleaning Greens.—A teaspoon of
salt added to each quart of water
used in cleaning spinach, watercress and other small-leaved
greens will help to draw out small
insects which may be in them.* . •
For Cocoa Stains.—To remove
chocolate or cocoa stains, cover
the stained area with cold water.
Then sprinkle a thin layer of powdered borax over the stain. After
about 10 minutes, rinse well in
boiling water.* * .
Applying Plant Food.—Never
apply plant food when grass is
wet. Do not put it on the leaves
or stalks of flowers or vegetables,
or in direct contact with seed or
the roots of plants. Where water is
available thoroughly water the
grass or garden after feeding.-
Where water is not available brush the plant food off the blades of
grass by running the back of a rake, or a light weight doormat,
over the lawn. This may also be
done by sweeping with a broom.
* * *
Glazed Fie Crust.—If you wish
pie crust to have a glazed appear
ance paint it over with a pastry
brush with cream or. with beaten egg and water and bake in a hot
oven 20 to 40 minutes, according
to contents of pie....
BestorinjT Brass. — Tarnished, brass can be restored to its for
mer brightness by applying a little
methylated spirit on a soft cloth.
Add a few drops of this spirit to
rinsing water for organdie, mus
lin and table linen to obtain the
slight stiffness required.
* * *
Melon in Refrigerator. — For
storing melon pieces in the refrig
erator, wrap them in waxed paper
held in place with rubber bands.
This will keep the flavor from permeating such mild-flavored
foods as milk and butter.
* * *
Rest for Calla Lily.—The calla
lily should.be rested for a month
during the latter part of the summer by allowing the soil in the pot
to become bone-dry. Set the pot in
an inch of water by the first of
October and keep it so, and you
should have fine blooms for
Easter.
Strange Facts
I 200,000 Descendants
Sat on Their Liquor
Sim ple L ife on Coins
The total number of descendants
of any colonial family that settled
in this country between 1620 and 1640 is estimated to be more than
two hundred thousand.England’s aleconners, who prac
ticed their profession of testing-ale and beer up to a few years ago,
determined the sugar content by
p&uring some of the liquor on a
wooden stool and then sitting on it.
If their leather breeches stuck, they considered the brew satisfac
tory.Today many oil tankers plying the West coast do not have to
“come in” for loading, reports
Collier’s. They get their cargoes
through a buoy-marked flexible
hose attached to a huge pipe that
runs out into the Pacific from a point near San Luis Obispo.
AU fees of American attorneys
are not left to their discretion. The
United States Code, for example,
prohibits a lawyer from charging
his client more than $10 for prose
cuting and obtaining a claim for a pension.
Instead of dignifying their new
coins with engravings of political heroes, the Irish make them gay
with pictures of pigs, hens, plants,

Every now and then, the news
papers report a “brand new” idea
or a “brand new” discovery.
Take, for instance, the report
about “swing (reading.” Accord
ing to recent' headlines, “swinjg
reading” is the latest thing imag
inable—the invention of two smart
eye doctors in Los Angeles.
As the papers say, - the doctors
disclosed their “idea” a short time ago at a national convention of the
American Optometric association.
Advocating a new system of print
ing in “swing style,” the doctors
said they had something that
would help the . eyes. In short,
they urged this type of thing:

M tif saw Te
This little excerpt must be read
by swinging the eyes left to right
along one line, then right to left
along the next, and so on.
Well, we don’t like to make our
selves seem scholarly, but the doc
tors have unwittingly dug up
something pretty old. As a mat
ter of fact, the ancient Greeks
had a word for it, used the system
and gave it up. They called it
boustrophedon, and you can find
the word in a good dictionary even
to this day. Pronounced boo-stro-
fee-don, with the accent on the third syllable, it means literally
“turning like oxen in plowing."
It is a compound of two Greek
words—bous, meaning ox, and
strephein, meaning to turn.
P. S. Incidentally, the excerpt
quoted above reads normally this
way: “Many of the convention
delegates yesterday shunned ses
sions for a day on the golf course.

Finally Name Was 0. K.
Though Not ‘OS but ‘K?
A gentleman bad completed his
purchases, and the clerk, in filling
out the sales slip, asked:
“What is the name, please?”
“Jepson,” replied our hero. “Six
teen twenty-one West—”“Your first initial, please.”
"Oh, K.”
"O. K. Jepson.”
“I said ‘Oh.’ ”
“O. Jepson.”
“No. Rub out the O.”The clerk began to look hag
gard.
“Your initials again, please?”
“I Said ‘K.’ ”
“Pardon, you said ‘O. K.’ "
“I said ‘Oh’—”
“Just now you said ‘K.’ ”
“I said ‘Oh,’ because I didn’t understand what you were asking
me. I didn’t mean it was my ini
tial. My name is Kirby Jepson.”
“Oh.”
“No. Not 0, but K. Here, give
me the pencil and I’ll write it my

Two Souls, One Thought—
Escape—Stirred Them
Two explorers, bearded and
soiled, met in the wilderness, and
crouched over a fire of brushwood.
Said the first: “I came out here
because the urge to travel was In my blood. The drabness of the
towns irked me, and the ever
present smell of exhaust gas sickened my rebellious heart! I want
ed to see the sun rise over mysterious horizons, hear the scared
flutter of birds hitherto strangers
to human footsteps, leave my foot
prints on sands unmarked before
I came along, see Nature in the
raw! . . . Why did you come out
here?”
Said the second: “My wife’staking vocal.”

THE STOBT THCS FAB
Captain Carl Iforwopd has been sent from his native England to the Kadur River district In India, along with his indispensable manservant, Moses O Leary, soldier of fortune. !Norwood’s job is to survey the district to determine whether a valuable secret diamond mine belongs to the temple priests or to the ruler, the Maharajah of Kadur. -Norwood calls on the British ResidenQr to pay his initial respects. On his way he catches a glimpse of two women in a palace carriage, one of whom is young and beautiful. The other woman he knows to be the Maharanee of Kadur. O'Leary later tells him that the young woman fe an American girl named Lynn Harding, who with her aunt, Mrs. Deborah Harding, is a guest at the palace. Oh a sightseeing tour !As. Harding sprains an ankle, and sends to the palace for aid. Prince Rundhia. handsome, spoiled nephew of the rulers, comes to her rescue, and takes her back to the palace where he meets Lynn. At a banquet that night In the palace, attended by Captain Norwood, Mrs. Warrting takes one of the native doctor's pills, and becomes violently AL she is placed In bed and arrangements are made for Ljmn to move out of the quarters with her aunt and stay with the Maharanee. That evening Prince Fnntihfo attempts to make love to Lynn. She is unwilling to listen to him, and at the crucial moment Norwood appears on the scene, much to Rundhia's disgust.

CHAPTER V—Continued
Norwood laughed. “Not about,
but abed. It’s late. However, let’s
hear Rundhia."“Yes, please sing.’’ Lynn knew she hadn’t even scratched the sur
face of Norwood’s humor. So she
felt exasperated.Rimdhia smiled and plucked a
chord or two: “Ever hear this one?”
He sang beautifully. His voice
was a good tenor, and he handled the guitar with care. He avoided
Norwood’s eyes. He sang to Lynn.
The words meant nothing to her, but
she couldn’t fail to perceive the pas
sion suggested by the B-flat minor
melody. At the end of a stanza, Norwood interrupted:
“Damn that stuff, Rundhia! Sing
something decent.”
Rundhia passed him the guitar.
He thought he had him at a disadvantage:
“You sing,” he answered. “Per
haps you Imow something for good
little boys and girls. Do you know
any hymns?”Norwood surprised both of them.
He took the guitar and changed the tuning, struck some chords at ran
dom and then played the thing bet
ter than Rundhia could. He M t his way through one air to another, un
til he found one that suited his mood. Then he trolled out Kipling’s “On the Road to Mandalay.”
He had a fine voice, baritone, and
he could whistle the chorus instead
of repeating familiar words. It wasn’t great art, but it was manly.
It was decent. Where there "weren’t
no Ten Commandments,” Norwood plainly had inviolable standards of
his own.“As usual, the Army roars its slo
gans to the sky,” said Rundhia. “I
can imagine you in love with a Bur
mese woman, Norwood. Why not
apply for a Rangoon billet?”
“And miss this?” Norwood an
swered. He was looking at Lynn. “Here’s your guitar. Are we go
ing?”
He offered Lynn his arm and she was loo astonished to refuse. He
wasn’t her rightful escort. She hard
ly knew him, and what she did
know had annoyed her. However,
she found herself walking beside
him with her arm in his, and there
was nothing for Rundhia to do but to follow them down the ancient steps until the garden path was wide
enough for three abreast. Norwood
pressed Lynn’s arm to make her lis
ten. He spoke so low that she could
hardly hear him:
“The Maharanee is a dotard on
Rundhia. You can’t depend on her for that reason. Leave Kadur the
moment your aunt is fit to travel.”
“Oh, you can’t guess—” '“Yes, I kpow. I was an orphan. I was raised on stupid discipline
and fossilized injustice—Oh, hello,
Rundhia, you there? Thought you’d
stayed behind to pray or^’ some
thing.”
Rundhia was grinding bis teeth.
He didn’t answer.
Lynn took pity on him: “When
will you show me the treasure
room?”
“When we’re alone,” Rundhia an
swered. Then, spitefully: “Ours-is
one of the few treasures that haven’t
found their way to London.”
.... /'You mean the-others were plun
dered?” Lynn asked.
S“Pawned,” said Norwood.: After that they walked-in silence to the palaceSfront door.“Good night;” said Rundhia pointedly.,Norwood smiled. 'TH ask you to
be kind enough to see me to the gate,
Rundhia. Theguardletmeoutonce tonight. They might think I’m my
own ghost if I turn up alone. Miss
Harding, yoii know why the beautiful Indian girls are locked up In
zenanas; don't you?” -
“Is that a conundrum? Ho, why?”
“Because good-looking Indian men
would be ashamed of 'emselves if they couldn’t make Casanova look
like a mere amateur." f'
. “Are you being rude?” ‘
Rundhia came to her aid: “Excuse him, Lynn!. SolcUers fold their tents and leave their girls behind
them. They suppose all women are
alike. He meant it as a friendly warning not to trust ,me.” .
Lynn stood at bay ,on the palace
steps. It was' on the tip of her
tongue to- insult Norwood so thor
oughly that he would never presume to speak to her again. She wasn’t
quite, sure he didn’t .expect that.
But’she glanced from one man to
the other and changed her mind.
\
“How about a stroll as far as the
guesthouse to find out how your aunt is?” Rundhia suggested.“Thanks, no. There’s a phone in
my bedroom. I will use that. Good night. Good night, Captain Nor
wood.”
CHAPTER VI
Norwood changed into khaki and followed O’Leary’s lantern. O’Leary was nervous, talkative, deliberately
disrespectful. Being only one-third
Irish, two-thirds of his truculence was assumed, not genuine. How
ever, Norwood understood that.
“Someone,” said O’Leary, “must
have overheard us talking near the palace gate. I was foUowed to camp.
Heard him. Couldn’t see him. We’re
followed now. They’ll take your
number down unless you watch out.
AU you officers beUeve, because
your uniform was made in London,
that you’ve only got to call the po
lice and—”
“Shut up.”“AU right, .strafe me! That’s the
Army for you. I’m not Army. I’m
an underpaid civilian supernumerary. Sack me if you want to.
O’Leary resumed his discourse: “Then beUeve this: while you was
“My report Is HkeIy to carry weight.”
performing an officer’s job wi’ a
banjo and a beauty, I sat thirsty by the camp-fire, so the smoke ’ud keep the skeeters off me, hoping for
one o’ my spies to show up. But
came along a man I don’t know. Crep’ up surreptitious. Spoke Punjabi, mispronouncing it. It weren’t
his right language. Says he: ‘How much?”“Gave you money?”
“Not one anna! He wanted to
know your price to side with the
priests against the Maharajah.”
“What did you teU him?”
“Nothing.”“What did you do?”
“He was gone too.quick. I missed
him with the new iron skiUet what
the cook bad stuck to clean itself
among the embers. Damned nigh
red-hot. If I’d hit him, he’d ha'
sizzled. Point is that whoever sent him wiU be figuring they tried the
wrong diplomacy. Next thing, knife
or bullet. Dodge ’em and look out for poison. Make the cook taste everything and then bury the cook.
From now on, I eat nothing. Even
whiskey ain’t safe. They can driU and plug the bottle ; but it kills more
comforting than ground glass or
bamboo fiber. The priests know you
dined at the palace tonight. They’re
dead sure Uie Maharajah greased
your palm. WeU-there’s where the
dump is. ’Tain’t safe to go closer.”
“Wait here,” said Norwood.
O’Leary picked up a stick. He shadowed Norwood along the footpath, until Norwood peered beneath
the waterfall. He had to stand on
a slippery, ledge of rock, As O’Lea
ry had foretold, the moon’s rays did wanly penetrate, but it was torchlight that revealed the tunnel-mouth.
Norwood stood there for several
minutes watching spectral figures
dump bliii clay from baskets, to be
carried away by the river.
“Look out!” yeUed O’Leary.-
’’ Norwood jumped. A Uving cobra,
flung by an unseen hand, struck his
face—feU writhing—struck—missed.
Norwood almost feU into the pool
beneath the waterfall, but O’Leary
crashed him, shoved, almost IeU in,
too, but scrambled—regained his
footing—attacked the cobra—beat it
with the long stick, slew it.
“Now are you satisfied! Lied to
you, did I? Going on in through the
hole, or acting sensible? Want to know how it feels to be pitched
in the dark down a diamond mine?”
“Back to camp," said Norwood.
“Thank, you, FU take whiskey!
Watch your step, and watch your Uncle Moses. If I signal, don’t caU
me a Uar, duck quick!”
As foster-mother, Aunty Deborah
Harding had neglected no detaU of
Lynn’s social education. Whatevbr
Lynh did,, she did weU. She had
been taught to ride perfectly. On
one of the Maharajah’s thorough
breds, in the early morning cool,
she looked worthy of the splendid
animals that she controUed with no
visible effort. Lynn, the mystic In
dian daybreak and the vigor of her motion through the long mauve
shadows, were all one merriment
to make a man’s eyes widen and his heart leap.One could recognize Rundhia from
a mfle off by the way he swung his right arm at the trot, an uncon
scious habit that it had been no
body’s business to tell him. about. But Rundhia could ride, too. They
were a pair to stop and gaze at.
Lynn seemed to have forgotten
the previous night’s disagreement.
She appeared glad to see Norwood:
“What are you doing up so ear
ly?”
“The sight of you on horseback is
better than sleep,” he answered. “I
had dreams about you.”
“Bad ones?”
“I can’t remember." You know
how dreams escape you when you
wake up."
“Come along for a gallop.”
“Can’t. Sorry.” Looking at Lynn’s
eyes, thinking about Rundhia, Nor
wood spoke unguardedly: “My man is signalling—some people waiting
for me near the waterfall. I must
go. I will call as soon as I can.” He looked straight at Rundhia.
It was then that Lynn noticed that
Rundhia and Norwood hadn’t spoken.
“Should I introduce you?” she
suggested, laughing.Norwood saluted her, wheeled his horse, and rode away, not looking
backward. He heard Rundhia laugh
ing.
O’Leary met him by the river, full
of self-importance:
“You should send me to Geneva!
I’m a diplomat. They’re waiting.
If you’re nice, and no one’s looking they may let you see the mine. I
convinced ’em that all you’re here
for is to blow the government’s nose.
It needs blowing,: I told ’em, on ac
count of some sneak squealing on
’em that their mine isn’t safe for
laborers, and you’re here to muzzle
the talk.”
“I would like to muzzle you,”
said Norwood.
“Same as it says In the Bible
about muzzling the ox that grinds your corn,” O’Leary answered.
Norwood studied him a moment.
There was onjy one way to get the
value out of O’Leary. No use making him sulky. Keep him busy.
“Go to the bazaar,” he ordered.
“Here’s some money. Pick up all
the palace gossip that’s going the rounds.”
“I get you! Smell a rat—just smell
him and Fll catch him. This isn't
much money.”
“It’s -all you’re going to get."
“One o’ these days,” said O’Lea
ry, “I’m going to hire a secretary and take a chance with the Officisil Secrets Act and dictate my mem
oirs. Page one, I’ll tell ’em the Intelligence is ran by cheap 'uns.
They’d make a Scotchman feel like
multiplying loaves and fishes, Lee
for nothing!”
Norwood rode alone along the riv
er bank until the path grew narrow
near the waterfall and he could no longer see tbe huge bulk of the tem
ple, nor even the city, wall that fol
lowed the curve of the river beyond the dam. He dismounted and hitched
his horse to a shrub. The water
tumbled innocently, lazily over the
dam; there was hardly a hit behind
that beautiful curved translucent
screen there might bg_the mouth of a tunnel. The river water was
vaguely blue.
There were four men seated near the ledge on which Norwood had
nearly lost his life the night before.
They stood up, greeting him respect
fully. They were Brahmins but not
priests; they looked like responsi
ble men of affairs who might, perhaps, be trusted with the financial
details of some of the temple busi
ness. He plunged straight to his sub
ject:
“One of our Air Force pilots has reported having glimpsed an open-
opit surrounded by those outlying
buildings near the temple area. It’s an open secret that the priests have
been working a diamond mine for
centuries. We have heard the mine is dangerous. I want a secret look at it. Perhaps I can advise you
how to make it safe. One other
thing: stop dumping clay in the riv
er. Perhaps I can advise what to
do about that. As for the dispute about ownership, my party is run
ning a survey line to establish facts.
I have seen nothing yet to suggest
that the priests are not the rightful owners. Il you’ve any docu
ments, I’d be glad to see them. My
report isn’t the last word, but it’s
likely to carry weight.”
If Norwood hadn’t been thinking
about Lyim and Rundhia, he might have noticed that the Brahmins
looked a lot too pleased. One of them, pushing past him, slipped a tiny black paper envelope into Nor
wood’s left-hand tunic pocket. He
apologized for having brushed against him. Norwood had hardly
noticed that he did.
The four held a whispered consul
tation. Then their spokesman said, in excellent English, but with a
trace too much silk in his voice:
“We appreciate your honor’s cour
tesy. But we are intermediaries, on whom it is incumbent to convey the
message to the proper quarter. It
shall doubtless have immediate con
sideration.” He paused, then added,
as if choosing an innocuous polite
phrase: “We know well that your honor’s report will have great
weight. We hope that your honor's judgment may not be influenced by
worthless arguments.”
Back in camp, Norwood sat under
the tent awning to have his boots
polished by his servant, while he
gave orders for the day.
“Sergeant Stoddart,” he said sud
denly. “There’s a middle-aged lady
in the Maharajah’s guesthouse who
had a rather bad spill yesterday. Braises. Perhaps abrasions. Might
be complications if .she isn’t care
ful.' A Bengali doctor is attending her, and you can’t always, depend
on those fellows to use fresh anti
septic.”
“I’d be awful sick, before Fd let
one of ’em dose me, sir.”
“Well, before you go down to the
river, take a look in my medicine
chest. You’ll find a new two-ounce
bottle of iodine. I think I’ll take it
to her. Wrap it up so that.it won’t
break. Fm- going to see the Resi

Labor Organizations Had Early-Day Origin
In reviewing the history of labor
unions the Americana points out
that organizations, of laborers have
existed from time immemorial and
that the guilds of the ‘Middle ages
were exclusive and monopolistic, caring nothing for other workers.
This form appeared among the
shoemakers of .. Massachusetss in 1648, organized mainly to control in
ferior workmen. Similar organiza
tions in other industries were al
ways local and more or less,tempo
rary. Tbe birth of the modern trade union movement may be assigned
to the closing years of the Eight
eenth century, though it never attained the dignity of movement
until ,.the Nineteenth century was
well under 'way. Famous First
Facts gives 1792 as the date for
the first local craft union, that of
Philadelphia shoemakers. . The la
bor movement grew out of the industrial revolution which brought about a change in the'manner and
means of production, and so. caused
a wider separation between master and journeyman. The Americana
states that trade unionism reached
the “coming out” stage with; the or
ganization of the-Mechanics Union
of Trade Associations at Philadel
phia in 1827.Modern trade unionism in Europe
began with the industrial revolution in Great Britain 1 during the Eight
eenth century.The American Federation of
Labor in August, 1937, claimed a
membership of 3,271,726 and the Committee for Industrial Organization in September; 1937, estimated
a membership of 3,718,000 in 32
unions; we find no estimate of membership in independent unions.
The oldest known sitdown strike
has been traced back to 1565, when journeymen bakers in Lyons,
France, struck. The first American
sitdown strike is reported to be that of 3,000 General.Electric company
workers at Schenectady, N. Y., in
December, 1906. More recently it was revived first in Akron, Ohio, in
1934. .________
Eterope Uses Most Fertilizer
Consumption of fertilizer in the
United States is at the rate of five pounds per acre, per farm. Na
tions of Europe rank far ahead of
this country in fertilizer use, Holland uses 99 pounds of chemical
plant food per acre annually, Bel
gium 80 and Germany 67. Then
come Denmark with 40, Norway with 29 and Sweden with 22 pounds.
France uses 21 potmds per acre,
Italy 17 and Great Britain 12.

Need for W ild Tigers
Wild tigers are an economic ne
cessity and, therefore, protected by
law on Sumatra in the Dutch East
Indies, an island nearly twice as
large as Great Britain. Before
this measure was taken a few years ago, tigers were killed in
such numbers that wild boars, on
which they preyed, multiplied and
destroyed most of the palm trees
whose oil is Sumatra’s chief
source of income.—Collier’s.

NOT EVEN TRYING By GLUYAS WILLIAMSCheerfu News At a county fair in the Old Coun
try five pounds was offered to the
person who could guess . the weight
of a certain cow. Many people
tried their skill, and various weights
were suggested. Finally Old Garge,
not-too-bright farm hand, came for
ward. To their amazement, he
named the exact weight of the cow
offhand.
“How did you do it?” asked the
judge, after awarding the prize.
“ ’Twam’t nothin’,” replied the
man. “I’d 'a' done better’n that if
I’d been tryin’.”

Jefferson Nickel Is Here
To Stay.
Philadelphia—Edwin H. Dressel
superintendent of the United States
mint, advises all savers of the new
Jefferson nickel to spend them.
“The sooner the public makes up
its mind that, this new coin has not
been recalled by the United States,
the better off we all will be,” he ex
plained.
“ We receive enough calls each
day to keep a staff of telephone
operators, and every one seems to
be inquiring about the missing flag
pole of the Monticello House,” be
continued.
The. flagpole is not there because
the attist did not want to out it
there, he said, and as far as be is
concerned, the new coin is woitb
just 5 cents, the same as the buf

Teacher Paid $25 To
Party Campaign.
North Wilkesboro.—Mrs. Marion
P. Lomax, Wilkes county teacher,
Sunday released for publication in
formation in regard to a cauceled
checks made payable to and indors.
ed by C. 0. NcNeiI, who is chair
man of the Democratic executive
committee.
Mrs. Lomax, in an interview In
which she released the check for
publication, said that Mr. McNeil
recently bad been quoted in a pub
lished article to the effect that if
any teacher in any part of Wilkes
county had been requested or de
manded to contribute to the Demo
cratic campaign fund that it had
been without the knowlege of any
member of the county board of
education.
Mrs. Lomax said that the teach
ers at Millers Creek weie requested
to make checks Davable to C. O.
McNeil and that she did as request,
ed.
Mrs. Lomax, for three years a
teacher in Millers Creek school,
said that about 10 days before elec
tion in 1938, she was appioached
by Miss Annie Vaunoy, another
member of the school faculty, re*
lative to the requests that teachers
pay into the Democratic campaign
fund.
She said that the teachers pay
into the Democratic campaign fund.
She said that Miss Vannov, a
niece of C. O. McNeil, told her that
I. R. Rousseau, chairman of the
Democratic executive committee,
was then at the school bouse and
that all teachers were wanted to
pay one fourth of their October
voucher, which amounted to about
$20 each.
Mrs. Lomax stated she was told
that teachers in- all of the' other
schools in Wilkes county had al.
ready paid a similar contribution
and that all members of the Millers
Creek school faculty were expected
to do likewise. She said further
that she .and other teachers were
told by Miss Vaanoy to make the’r
checks payable to C. O. McNeil
and to deliver them in person to
bim if possible and that if any conld
not carry them in person that she
would take them for them.
Mrs. Lomax said she wrote her
check on November 1, 1938, and
carried it to Mr. McNeil's office,
that he was not in at tlie time and
that she gave it to bis brother, R
T. McNeil, with instructions to
give it to C. O. McNeil when he
came in. The cancelled check,
produced by her today, bore the
name of C. O. McNeil as indorser.
It was marked by the bank as hav
ing been paid “ n 7-38 .”
Mrs. Lomax went on to say that
when time came to elect teachers in
the spring of 1939 that at the meet
ing of the district commiitee R V.
Day, the principal, failed to recom
mend or nominate her for re-elec
tion, although he had recommend
ed her very highly at the end of
the two previous terms she had
taught there. Day, she' said, in
formed other members of the facul
ty of their re election but failed to
tell her that she was not rc elected.
She said she went to Mr. Day after
she bad been informed by another
faculty member that she had not
been hird to teach there again.
She said Mr. Day told her that
he did not have anything against
her teaching or quali Gcations but
that she did not have enough poli
tical pull.
Since that time, Mrs. Lomax
said, she had been .unable to secure
a teaching position in Wilkes coun
ty, although there had been vacan
cies which she was qualified to fill
and which had been filled by teach
ers with little or no experience- or
by teachers from outside the coun
ty*I Mrs. Lomax said she is a Demd

Speed But Not Endur
ance.
An automobile salesman was try
ing to sell a doctor an automobile
sn-i was talking mostly ot the speed
qualities of bis car. Atier the sales
man had bis say, the doctor saiH,
“ But this car will not last ’ In a-
bout two yaars it will be worn out.
They won’t last now like those
built seven or eight years ago.”
“No” , S8id the salesman, ‘‘You
just can't built both speed and en
durance into a car. ' The cars made
some yrars ago would Hst but they
didn't have the speed ”
No one knows better tnan a doc
tor that there can’t be both speed
and endurance. Not on'y has he
tried the cars built some year.s ago
and the ones of tcday, but lie sees
speed and endutance. tried 'out in
the lives of people. People that
live fast cannot endure. Every
year thousands die of heait ailments
that should have lived many years
longer.
This is a fast age. We have the
speed but we can't endure. Can’t
last. Some ot us may live Ioug en
ough but we will be worn out long
before we reach the "three-score
and ten." ~ Remember a hare and a
tortoise once ran a race. The hare
had speed but he could not endure,
and the slow and steady tortoise ar
rived at the goal first.—Ex.
crat and a member uf a Democra
tic family of long standing. Sbe
emphatically stated she is not fight
ing the. Democratic parly or any
individual but that because of the
various statements and denials by
teachers and school authorities re
lative to campaign fnnd ,payments
she felt it her duty to release the
check for publication.
"I will be glad to see the day,
Mrs. Lomax-said, “ when schools
will be free irom politics and teach
ers will be hired on the basis, of
their ability to teach and upon their
f l t o r d s teachers. " ■&- ’•

Hickory. Aug. 16.—The modern
mother who thinks she has a difficult
time making' Johnny wash behind
his ears and reminding Mary to brush
her teeth, doesn’t know a thing a-
bout raisi'g a family, comparatively
speaking.
At least, she has not had as much
experience with youngsters as Mrs.
William B. Morrison, who lives a-
bout three miles from Brookford on
Hickory. Route I.
The Morrisons, Mr. and Mrs. have
fifteen grown children, the oldest be
ing forty-one and the yonngest sev
enteen. They have never' lost a child
and just recently the entire family
was together for a reunion, every
member being present and in good
health.
Mrs Morrison had no qualms a-
bout spoiling the youngsters—she
simply didn’t have time. The old
saying about grandmothers spoiling
their own children "toe” the Iin-, is
true in her case, however, she said
'We had to be strict with our
children and make them mind—there
were so many of them,” she declar>
ed laughingly.

New Thanksgiving Day.
We have n 0 particular quarrel
with President Roosevelt if he wants
to chapge the date of Thanksgiving
Day, , He says he will move it up one
week, that iB on Thursday, Novem
ber 23, instead of November 30. to
help business since there are but
four weeks now between Thanksgiv
ing Day and Christmas Day. _ The
change will give business interests
an extra week.
AU wrII and good. But maybe
there i s something h e has not
thought of. The American people
areiuBpecially entitled this year to
twp r-ThanksgivinK Days. They
should have one to celebrate the
manner in which Orgress slapped
the brakes on the new Deal socialis
tic program at the fag end of the
ision. Give us a day fur that Mr.

Congress’ economy - niindedness
as the most significant develop
ment of the dramatic session from
the viewpoint of industry. It de>
veloped with a rush in the closing
weeks.- Administration sponsored
appropriation measures, including
the much-publicized “self-liquidat
ing loanB” bill, were mangled be
yond repair in committee.
It is obvious that the "rebellion”
of Congress will have a considerable
influence on political events of the
future. It has heartened the Repub
licans and given them new hopes of
a great victory in 1940. It has
caused immense rejoicing in the
ranks of “conservative" Democrats
who want to dominate the next De
mocratic convenainn. [t is a patent
fact that while Mr. Rnnsevi>lt may
not have lost his control ot' the par
ty nominating machinery, all agree
that it is definitely slipping. One
more successful congressional “re
bellion” against the White House
might make his ii.fljenee all but
negligible.
Here is somethin? yon may lay
your bets on—next year's political
wars both within the msjir parties
and between them, will be among
che bitterest in our political history

From The Yellow Jacket.
President Roosevelt’s “lending
and spending" program ought to
include the most needed "credit":
That of the President lending more
dignity to his high position.
The Yellow Jacket fully agrees
with W. Atlee Burpee, when he
declares that there is no confidence
in tbe country for three reasons:
Excessive taxes, war jitters and
distrust of government. And tbe
only remedy we see for this situa
tion is the election, of a Republican
President next year along with a
Congress to back up Republican
policies.
In the past seven years, federal,
State and local governments have
spent 20 and one-half billion dol
lars for relief—more this year than
ever before and tbe cry is for more
and more to keep the people from
starving. It is as plain as day that
if this New Deal'game of squand
ering is given a new lease on life
that this CDUUUy is bound for
bankruptcy.
Wilh Uncle Sam's own official
figures statin;; that the wide de
crease in farming acreage has in

the wav things are headed hell,

will even have o.ir trade winds in
the hatHs.of the receivers.
We have been trying to find a
New Dealer who cau explain why
it is that relief costs have not de

THIS
WEEK
B y LEM UEL F . PA R TO N
XTEW YORK.—On his record, it would appear that Gen. Ed
ward Smigly-Rydz, Poland’s strong
man, might be more inclined to fight
Germany with- Poush Leader out Russia’s aid
Started Career than with it. He
F t r t h v U U *
sheviks, and news dispatches of the
last few weeks have hinted that he
has been considerably embarrassed at being drawn into the new apparently broken fellowship with Russia.
It has been clear that being saved
by Russia was the least and last
of his ideas.
He is beyond doubt the ablest of Poland’s military leaders, and, once the bell rings, there is no question
that he can and will fight, as he
proved in the campaigns to free
Poland and in his forays against
early-day Bolshevik Russia.
He never has quite come through as a dictator. In 1936
there was one of those “ideologi
cal” build-ups in which he was
to emerge as the head of re
constructed Poland. Handsome and imposing, of dominant
bearing, he looked the part, but
he couldn’t seem to manage the big talk necessary for the job.
The best they could get out of
him was something to the gen
eral effect that nobody would
ever be allowed to take a single
button from Poland’s robe.
On August 6 of this year, when it appeared that Germany might just
take the robe and leave the button,
he was expected to make a sizzling
speech at Cracow. His audience
was howling for a knockout punch,
but the speech was mostly shadow-
boxing, with nothing specific about
what he proposed to do about Danzig.
Fifty-four years old, with an engaging personality, he has
been a popular dinner guest and
holds the honorary presidency
of the Polish academy of letters.
The old Marshal Joseph PiIsud-
ski, nearing the end of his life,
anointed the general as bis successor. He has been supremely
efficient in his army job, but,
as a strong man, has been
somewhat overshadowed by the
showier, more facile and adroit Josef Beck, the foreign minis
ter. But fighting is his main
business and knowing observers
figure that, talking little, he is more apt to fight.
A MICHIGAN friend of this writ-
•f* er reports that Gov. Luren D. Dickinson’s war on sin may turn
out to be good political medicine
out there.War on Sin
May Be Very
Cate Politics
While big-town political leaders
are said to be
somewhat em
barrassed by the aged governor’s
alarmed discovery of wickedness in
high places, the word is that his forces have been intrenched and
widened since he let loose about
the drinking and dancing orgies of the Albany conference of governors. His Bible class at Eaton, Mich., is
crowded to the doors and he is
besieged with requests for lectures and participation in revival campaigns. Currently he tells a gather
ing of Chicago and Detroit “pupils”
that this Albany conference was pretty much like Belshazzar’s feast
and that our Babylonian wastrels
will drag us down if we don’t mend our ways.
For 25 years, Mr. Dickinson
has held in fee simple the anti-
sin vote of Michigan. Ib- has
held steadily around 200,000
votes, undivided in its allegiance
in his repeated forays against
evil, chief of which has been his still continuing prohibition bat
tle. He is a spare, bald evangel
of righteousness, his friendly eyes glinting behind his octag
onal rimmed glasses when he
is aroused, his meager frame shaken with pietistic fervor. He
employs much of the lexicon of
the late Dr. Parkhurst of New York, in assailing sin, and some
of his philippics seem to voice
again the pious horror of the
^uthor of "New York by Gas
light,” written 60 years ago.
He is a native of New York, born
near Lockport in Niagara county. His parents removed to Eaton,
Mich., when he was a small boy.
There he still lives, happily en
gaged with his Methodist church
Bible ^class1 and, more recently,
with the state of Michigan and, un
happily for his peace of mind, in a bout with evil which he never knew existed before.
Shays’s rebellion of 1786 jolted the big-town politicians with a reali
zation of what a mixture of agrari
an discontent and old-time religion may amount to. In Governor Dick
inson’s compact voting phalanx,
things are something like that. His
allied conservative Republican organization appreciates all this. (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)

Your Children
Can Help You;
Let Them Try
• GOOD JUDGMENT
needed in delegating houses
hold tasks. Even older chil
dren may be too immature to
do difficult or too continuous
work. Wise mother will keep
close watch over youngsters.
By EMMA GARY WALLACE
YX7HERE there is a family of chil-
dren and the means are limit
ed, it often becomes necessary for
the older children to give as much
help as they possibly can, not only
with the housework but with the
care of the little ones, and the tasks
are usually accepted cheerfully.
But good judgment is needed in
such situations. The mother must
remember that the older children
are still immature, and that they
should not be called upon for work
that is too difficult or too continu
ous. What may seem light—not at
all overtaxing—to older persons may
be quite tiring to a boy or girl, and a child is entitled to a happy youth
as far as can be managed. Then
the little ones—even a single little
one—may become quite demanding
and tyrannical. The wise mother
will keep a close watch of the gen
eral situation and see to it that each child is dealt with fairly.
In order that the mother herself
sail not be overtaxed and made
irritable by too many demands upon
her strength and time, it may be
necessary for her to simplify the
household program as far as possible.
Part.of the ironing, for instance, may properly be left undone. Many
garments and sheets do not actually
require ironing. If they are sweet
and fresh and clean, pulled into
shape just before they are quite
dry and smoothly folded, that is all
that is necessary. The beds will
look better, of course, if pillow cases
are ironed.
Even such ironing as may really
need to be done, can be accom
plished with less fatigue if there is
a high stool to sit on—preferably
with a back—and one of these costs
little.1 There is no reason why dishes
cannot be washed, or part of them
at least, while using the same stool.
If they are thoroughly rinsed and a
drainer is used most of them will
not need to be wiped.
Meals can be attractively served
and yet be simple and nourishing. A
baked custard takes less time and
work than a pie. Baked apples, sim
ple rice puddings, unfrosted cakes and “one-dish meals” each cuts
down a little on the work, and ev
ery little helps. A “one-dish meal”
is one where vegetables ‘ and moat
are cooked in one container and served in that container.
Don’t Let Work Become Humdrum.
Some sort of a play can be devised so that the work the older chil
dren do loses its humdrum charac
ter. For example: the living room is to be put in exceptionally nice
order, because the Queen of Hearts
is coming for supper, and as the children do the work, they could
chant to some well-known tune.
"The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts
AU on a summer day . *
The King of Hearts
He found those tarts
And stole them all away."
One of the children could pretend to be the Queen of Hearts who will come in with a bright red scarf
around her shoulders or a gilt paper
crown and inspect the dusting. The
King might wear that crown at sup
pertime when tarts may be served,
but of course he would not be given
a chance to defraud the others.
Taking care of the baby should
be carefully supervised. Slender older children can wheel the baby
or draw him about on a little cart
or sled, but they should not be expected to carry him. The little one,
who is being cared for by the older
children, should not be allowed to
impose upon them by demanding
toys of which older brothers and sisters are choice, and perhaps are
justified in not lilting to lend if the
baby is likely to break or spoil them.
It is not to be wmdered at that
older children sometimes look upon the little newcomers as very much
of a trial. But under the right man
agement, with sympathetic understanding, they may easily be led to
love and willingly help care for-the
new babies. It should be made plain that they continue to hold, even
more securely than before, their
own special places in the affection
and confidence of parents and rela
tives.

Miss College Girl Is Engaging
Attention of Fashion Designers
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
BI
■ ■ I
%
tr?
TT’S no secret as to who has
1 chosen to play the part of lead
ing lady on the stage of fashion during the early fall days—College
Girl is her name. To this impor
tant personage all fashiondom is
paying homage at the present mo
ment. On every side you are reminded that the idea is motivating to cater to the whims and ward
robe needs of the girl who is going
away to school.
The style program arranged for
Miss College Girl and her younger schoolgirl sister fairly teems with
excitement. For instance, there is
the new bustle dress. The idea has taken the collegiate set by storm. The quaint bustle dresses that
grandmothers galavanted in as girls in the ’80s are actually proving
inspiration for frocks that the mod
ern girl will wear this fall.
The highpoints of these oldtime
silhouettes are being revived such as waistlines of vanishing inches, slim corseted midriffs and wide
back-swirling skirts interpreted in
novel bustle treatments but modi
fied so cleverly they are made thor
oughly practical and wearable for this day and age. Hien there is the
new vogue that calls for a velvet or
velveteen jacket worn with a gay
plaided wool skirt or a contrasting or matched solid color as fancy dic
tates. The decided military air that
the new fashions take on is also a
big factor in the new mode and
most outstanding of all is the importance attached to fine materials.
These and other significant style trends were revealed at their glam
orous best in an advance fall fash
ion revue staged by the Sfyle Crea
tors of Chicago. The three, models pictured were especially applauded
by the audience of visiting mer
chants as fashions that are repre
sentative of what the up-to-date
fashion-alert girl will be selecting for her going-away-to-school ward
robe.
The clever little date frock of shepherd check velveteen shown to
the left in the group is sure to enjoy
a gay campus career. Its cunning
tunic bustleback and its full circu
lar-cut skirt gives it swank and dis
tinction such as collegiate fashionables demand. Its red suede belt
supplies a fetching dash of color.
Approval for the new bustle-back
dresses is assured for being interpreted in simple words, bustle-back
is merely a way of saying “back
fullness” achieved in ingenious
ways that are conservative and wearable without being overdone.
The suit to the right is very style- revealing, stressing as it does the continued triumph in the mode of
richly colorful striped woolens. The
stripes, the plaids and the marvelous artistry with which designers combine them with monotones in re
lated tone simply hold one spell
bound. The gorgeous striped wool that fashions the costume suit keys
to the smartest fall colors, harmo
nizing vibrant greens with luscious
blackberry tones. The skirt is all-
around pleated. The boxy jacket
tops an emerald green velvet blouse
closing with novel key-and-keyhole
ornaments. An oversize quill tops the moss green sailor hat.
You may expect to see gay little velvet jackets dotted all over the
college campus. The girl centered
in the picture wears a snug black velveteen jacket quite military looking as so many of the newer fash
ions are, with a plaid pleated skirt
that introduces an artful blend of grape, pink and yellow tones, cli
maxed with a sweater in warm yel
low hues. Juniors, likewise college
sophisticates, simply dote on the
new plaids and stripes. A Scotch cap of black velvet with satin ribbon streamer, together with the
plaid carries the message that fash
ions for young folks have gone very Scotch this season.

Here is a smart version of the costume suit that combines plain
woolen with gay tweed. The fitted
jacket is of yellow and black tweed
in a diagonal weave. Yellow and
gold tones' are held in high favor according to what is showing in ad
vance Paris collections. The cos
tume includes a jacket, swagger
coat and skirt. This idea of both jacket and topcoat done in matching
color-scheme is very practical. The
saucer brim hat is of black felt.
Offers Solution
For One Problem
For many women, the most trying coat length of recent inspira
tion is the rather popular just-be-
low-the-waist length that nips in at the midriff and hugs the hips.
It is a good style for a slender
woman with a streamlined figure
and is being shown in any number
of varieties, of which one of the most popular is a monotone wool
jacket worn over a gay print dress.
But the problem is not so simple
for those who border on plumpness.
One suggestion is that the slightly
swallow-tail version deals more
kindly with the heavy woman.
Two-Skirt Outfit
Real Money-Saver
A money-saver for the bride con
sists of a two-skirt suit of very sheer
wool or crepe, designed with a suave fitted jacket. The street-length skirt can be worn with the jacket and
printed crepe or organdy blouses to
make a smart runabout costume by day.
A floor-length skirt of the same
material, combined with the jacket and a sheer chiffon blouse make a
chic dinner costume for boat and
hotel wear in the evening.
New Coat Silhonettes
Goats are no longer a simple mat
ter of straight boxy lines or fitted and flared effects, for Parisian de

-------------IMPROVED
UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson
By HABOLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. O. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for September 17
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of BelIgious Education; used by permission.
MICAH: A MESSENGER OF
SOCIAL JUSTICE
LESSON TEXT—Micah 3:1-12; 6:o*8. GOLDEN TEXT—Wbat doth the Lord require of thee, but to do Justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? —Mlcah 6:8.
We demand human rights, social
justice, and economic security. Cor
rupt judges and bribe-taking officials must be put out of office. Land
lords must not squeeze every penny
out of their tenants; loan sharks
must be put out of business; the
rich must not oppress the poor. The
Church must have ministers with a
real message and must share in the
solution of the problems of human
ity.
No, we did not copy that paragraph out of today's newspaper. It
is the message that the prophet Mi-
cah preached more than 2,500 years
ago. And what’s more, he not only
presented theories, but he knew how to accomplish his purpose of real
social justice. It is time some of
those who talk about this subject
got back to the Bible and really
learned how it can be done.
I. Social Injustice (3:1-10).The inhumanity of man toward
man is not something that just hap
pened. There are fundamental rea
sons for such conditions, and they
are the same in our time as in Mi- cah’s day. The responsibility rests
squarely on the failure of our na
tional and spiritual leaders to perform their God-given tasks.
1. Rulers without Judgment (3:1-4,
9-10).
The obligation of anyone who is
given or who seeks public office is to know judgment. This does not
mean only that he is to have a gen
eral knowledge of the law and its technicalities; he is to know justice
in his very heart, to love it, and to
see that it is always rightly administered.
The leaders of Israel had woefully failed, in fact had deliberately de
parted from the standards of God,
and Micah exposed them in plain,
dramatic, well-spoken words. While
verses 2 and 3 are not to be taken
literally, they do in striking figura
tive speech describe just what un
scrupulous politicians do to an un
suspecting people.2. Prophets with a False Message
(3:5-8).
In such a day might one not expect God’s . messengers to have a
word of condemnation for the lead
ers and of comfort for the people?
Not only did they keep quiet about
the sin and corruption which they
saw about them, but they actually
encouraged their prominent and wealthy “church members" in their
sin by saying, “All is well.’’ Such
religious leaders have not altogether
perished from the earth.
Let ministers of God be like Mi-
cah, who is described in verse 8 as
a man of judgment and justice, because he was “full of power Iqr the
Spirit of the Lord.”
n. Social Security (3:11, 12; 6 :
6-8 ).
No, that idea was not discovered
by the politicians of the 1930’s. It
has been in the plan of God from
the beginning; in fact only in Him
is there any real national, personal,
or social security. Micab skillfully unmasked false security and re
vealed the way of true security.
1. False Security and Divine Judgment (3:11, 12).
When the heads of a nation “judge
for reward” and its religious leaders
“teach for hire” and its prophets
"divine for money” (v. 11 ), there is
no use to talk piously about God
being with us.
The prophecy of verse 12 was ful
filled three times—by the Chaldeans in 586 B. C., by Titus in A. D. 70,
and under Hadrian in A. D. 135.
God always keeps His promises,
even if the promise be a promise
of judgment.
2. True Security and Divine Blessing (6:641). .
God is not to be propitiated by the offerings of material things as a
sacrifice or by any outward profes
sion of piety. He looks at the heart.
Verse 8 is a remarkable and beau
tiful epitome of God’s requirement
of man, namely, justice, kindness, and humility; but note that this is
the requirement' of the law, and
one which no man can possibly ful
fill apart from Christ. It is evi
dent folly for men to quote this verse as did the agnostic Thomas Hux
ley and others, to justify themselves
for not responding to the claims of the gospel of Christ. Only Christ
can make any man capable of true justice, constant kindness, and gen
uine humility. Only thus can we
meet the demands of the law of God.Real social justice and security
will come only as there is a recog
nition of Jesus Christ as Saviour and
Lord by the leaders, by the prophets
and by die people.
Self Abnegation
After you have been kind, after love has stolen forth into the world
and done its beautiful work, go back
into the shade again and say noth
ing about it. Love hides even from
itself. Love waives even self-satis
faction.—Henry Drummond.

TASTY SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS
(See Recipes Below)
Sunday Night Suppers
Even though you expect everyone
to have had a noon meal with stay
ing power on Sundays, people do like to eat when Sunday evening
rolls ’round! To be sure, they like
food that’s somewhat lighter, and
food that’s out of the ordinary. So
it’s a grand time to leave the beaten
path and serve something a little
different.
If you serve left-overs, be sure to
serve them in a new way or with an unusual ac-
cftb-. companiment like
Q J the jellied chili
^ sauce I’ve sug-
gested in menu £v*V No. HI. If you
plan a meal espe-
_ v.i dally for Simday
night, plan one
which can be S * .y served " h e lp -yourself” style
and arrange foods, dishes and silver
on the table so that guests may
serve themselves. Appetites will be
quickened by the eye-appealing arrangement of the table, and the air of informality makes Sunday night
supper a sociable affair.These menus are suited, too, to
serving larger numbers — lodge
groups, church organizations or
clubs. Redpes for the main dish
and salad in every menu are easily
increased. Unless you have special
recipes and equipment, cakes and
pastries are likely to be better if the
single recipe is used.

golden brown. Serve hot.
P
There are so many points, to
be considered in planning meals.
One which is all too likely to be overlooked is this—that the des
sert is more than something to
satisfy the family’s “sweet tooth” ; it really plays an impor
tant part in the menu.

nor Howe wifi tell you why—and
will give you, too—some of her favorite recipes for “Desserts That Are Different.”

circulation of uiore than three and

to say: “In the year 1938 , more
than $1,000 ,000 ,0 -0 of the sums
directly appropriated for relief did
not go to hungry and homeless

THE STOBT THUS FAB
Captain Carl Norwood has been sent from his native England to the Kadur River district in India, along with his indispensable manservant, Moses O'Leary, soldier of fortune. Norwood's job is to survey the district to determine whether a valuable secret diamond mine belongs to the temple priests or to the ruler, the Maharajah of Kadur. Norwood calls on the British Residency to pay his initial respects. On his way he catches a glimpse of two women in a palace carriage, one of whom is young and beautiful. The other woman he Hnows to be the Maharanee of Kadur. O4Leary later tells him that the young woman is an American girl named Lynn HaTding, who with her aunt, Mrs. Deborah Hard* ing, is a guest at the palace. On a sightseeing tour Mrs, Harding sprains an ankle, and sends to the palace for aid. Prince Rundhia, handsome, spoiled nephew of the rulers, comes to her rescue, and takes her back to the palace where he * meets Lynn. At a banquet that night in the palace, attended by Captain Nor* wood, Mrs. Harding takes one of the native doctor's pills, and becomes violently Sn. She is placed In bed and arrangements are made for Lynn to move out of the Quarters with her aunt and stay with the Maharanee. That evening Prince Rundhia attempts to make love to Lynn. She is unwilling to listen to him, and at the crucial moment Norwood appears on the scene, much to Rundhia’s disgust. OtLeary has located the secret entrance to the diamond mine which is being worked by the temple priests. He takes Norwood to the mine, where death is narrowly averted when a live cobra is thrown in Norwood's face. Later Norwood visits the Brahmin priests, one of whom slyly slips a packet of diamonds In his pocket, unknown to Norwood. They are intended as a bribe.
CHAPTER VI—Continued
—7—The Resident was in his office, Reasonably civil, but he frowned
when Norwood told him about the
palace supper.“You met the Hardings, I sup
pose? What.did you make of them?”
“Tourists. Beautiful niece. Terrible aunt. I gathered, without be
ing told, that the aunt has money.”
“Rundhia show up? Did you notice anything suggestive of the pos
sibility of scandal?"“I thought the niece a damned nice girl, sir. A bit romantic.“Any conversation with the Ma
harajah?”
“Yes. I was alone with him until
midnight. He showed me all the documents that he seems to think bear on his claim to own that tem
ple property. He seems very anx
ious to avoid a lawsuit, and it isn't difficult to guess why, though I’m
not a lawyer. He showed me noth
ing that even half persuaded me he has a case against the priests. Of course, we’ll know more when we’ve
run the survey. But as far as I’ve
gone, I should say the priests have
a walk-over.”“You sound prejudiced.”“I haven’t a trace of prejudice,
sir, one way or the other.”
“Why not reserve your opinion? Are you off now to call on the Ma
harajah?”“Yes. I’m a bit early, but I have
something to do on the way."
“Very well. Keep me posted."
CHAPTER VU
Norwood left his horse in charge
Of the sais at the palace front gate.
He intended to return and ride up
the long drive to the front door for
his formal call on the Maharajah.
But the footpath to the guesthouse was shorter than the winding car-
riage-road, so he walked, to leave
the iodine for Mrs. Harding. On the
way he saw Lynn and Rundhia.
Lynn was no longer in riding
breeches. She looked delicious in
a frock of nile-green print and a
wide leghorn hat. Norwood wasn’t
sure, but he suspected she knew
she could be seen from the guest
house veranda, and that Rundhia
did not know. She and Rundhia
were laughing. Suddenly Rundhia
snatched her hat off, used it as a
shield to hide behind, caught her in his arms and kissed her. It was
no fool of a kiss. It was an experi
ence. Lynn did make a show of re
sistance. She struggled free and
recovered her hat.
Norwood’s view of it, against the
background of the leghorn hat, made
him set his jaw. But-he relaxed it again and smiled, a bit grimly, a
bit maliciously. From the opposite direction he had heard what sounded like an oath, although it was
nothing worse than the well-bred, al
most inarticulately gurgled word:
“Hussy!”
Aunty Deborah Harding had also
seen that lingering and only laugh
ingly resisted kiss.
Aunty was on the screened veranda, propped on pillows, on a
reed diaise longue, with a table
beside her. A native servant was
just in the act of removing a tray of breakfast things.
“May I approach,” asked Nor
wood, “or are you purdah?”
“Who is it? I can’t see you. Oh,
yes. Captain Norwood, come in if
you can bear the sight of me. I
should look presentable. I never
had so many women in. all my life
to push and pull me about. This is
my second attempt at a meal this
morning. You’ll have to run away if I can’t keep it down. What has
brought yoa, pray, at this hour?"
He had' forgotten the iodine.
“Thought I’d ask how you’re coming along.”
“Will you bring my niece here?
She’s beyond those trees, talking to
someone. I want her to come here and talk to me. Will you tell her I said so, and please don’t take no
for an answer."
Norwood strolled across the lawn,
tapping his boots with a riding whip. He coughed a couple of times. By the time he had peered around the
trees, Lynn and Rundhia were seat
ed opposite each other on wickerwork chairs. Lynn seemed unselfconscious. Rundhia looked venom
ously sly; he offered Norwood no
greeting whatever.
“I happened to be calling on your
aunt,” said Norwood, “and she asked m e to say that she wants to see you—”
Lynn looked dubious: “What sort
of mood is she in?”
“Very polite to me,” said Nor
wood.
“That’s a danger signal. She can’t
be polite to one person at a time. I think I won’t go.”
“You will have to pardon me,”
said Norwood, “but I agreed to bring you.”
“You always do what you say you
will?”
“Yes.” He looked straight at Run
dhia, who ignored him.
“Prince Rundhia,” said Lynn, “is going to show me the jewel room.”
“Is he?” said Norwood.
Rundhia winced noticeably: “Perhaps you’d better go,” he said to Lynn. “There’s lots of time. She’ll
have her tantrum out, and you can
meet me later.”
Lynn compared them, as clearly as if she had said it aloud. Her
'1Write a letter, why don’t you?"
smile was a bit forced when her
eyes met Norwood’s:
4tDo you always order people?"
she demanded. “Don’t you ever say please?”He laughed. “I can’t kneel
Breeches too tight.”
“What will you do if I won’t
come?”“Scream,” he answered.
“I dare you.”
“Tuesday is my day for scream
ing. Are you game to wait here until Tuesday?”
“No. I’m coming with you.” She
glanced at Rundhia: “You'll excuse
us?”“I excuse you,” he answered.
Norwood looked so comfortless
that Lynn noticed it:
“What are you worried about?”
“Oh, nothing. I was wondering
what your aunt eats.”
She laughed at him. “Liar! That’s
the very first time you haven’t spoken like a polished ramrod.”
“I told part of the truth. I am worried about you.”
“You needn’t be. I’m all right.”
She ran forward to speak to her
aunt. The tray of breakfast things
was being carried out by a palace servant. Norwood stopped the man,
inspected the tray, and selected a
piece of toast. He looked for something to wrap it in. That reminded
him. He groped in his left-hand
pocket for the iodine, tore off half
the paper in whiph Stoddart had wrapped the bottle, stuffed the un
tidy package back, wrapped the
toast in the tom-off paper and put that into his right-hand pocket.
“I’m expected at the palace, so
I can’t stay, Mrs. Harding. I
brought you. some fresh iodine, in case the doctor’s stuff is pretty an
cient, as sometimes happens.”
He plunged his hand into his tunic
pocket and Lynn came to the screen door to receive the bottle. He. looked at her, groping with his left hand,
trying to pull out the bottle without
the untidy paper; but a piece of
string, tied with one of Stoddart’s
knots, prevented. So he pulled out
the disgraceful package with a
quick smile of apology.
“Hello,” said Lynn, “you’ve
dropped something.”
He stooped, picked up what lay at his feet but didn’t recognize it. It
was a quite small black paper en
velope.“I saw it fall from your pocket,”
said Lynn.He opened it. It contained a neatly folded paper of diamonds. Nine
large, clear white brilliants shone
in Uie sun. He scowled at them and
stuffed the package back into his
pocket, evidently upset. He ap
peared to hope that Lynn hadn’t seen
the diamonds. He seemed about to mention them, but changed his
mind. Lynn thought he seemed sus
picious of her. Then suddenly: “Excuse me, won't you?”
He walked away. Lynn’s eyes fol
lowed, wondering. He looked like a
man who has been hit hard and is trying not to show it.
"Lynn,” said her aunt’s voice. “Yes, Aunty.”
“Come here!”
Lynn faced about: “Aunt Deborah! I have seen someone staring
at what he dreaded. Or it seemed
to me so.”
“Lynn, please rearrange my pil
lows.”
It was not Aunty’s cultured, conventional voice but the hard, unsympathetic one in which she al
most always commanded attention
to her comfort as a prelude to the luxury of an explosion, of temper.
Two palace women, loaned by the
Maharanee, had been fussing with
the pillows less than five minutes
before. Lynn rearranged them. She
waited. Her silence offered the old termagant no opening, so Atmty
Harding abandoned her usual gradu
al style of attack. She exploded: “Don’t dare to speak to me, you sullied creature, until you have
washed your mouth! There is soap
and water in the bedroom.” “Aunty—!”
“Wash your mouth this minute!
I saw you—permitting yourself to
be kissed by Prince Rundhia!”
“Aunty, I’m no longer five! Aren’t
you forgetting—”“To my humiliation I remember
too much! You are old enough at
least to try to keep up an appear
ance of decency.”
“Aunty, there’s no harm in a kiss
after breakfast! It’s kisses after
midnight that—”
“Don’t you dare to try to justify
your grossness! Even your graceless father had enough sense of his
social position to keep his indecen
cies out of sight!”“Aunty!”
“Don’t ‘aunty1 me! You inherit
your father’s wantonness.”“I never knew him,” Lynn an
swered. “I only know what you and
other people have told me. Others seem to have admired him. Wasn’t he merry and brave and generous?
Would he have endured your injus
tice? I have had to. For seventeen
years. Aunty, I am very near the end of endurance. I knew you were
looking. That is why I let Rundhia
kiss me.”Lynn repeated: “I kissed Prince
Rundhia, in a spirit of fun and part
ly to defy you.”
“Fun indeed! Vulgar, suggestive impropriety, with an Indian prince
whose immorality is notorious!
Whether or not I disinherit you will
depend—”Lynn’s rebellion flared to its inevitable climax. She interrupted:
“Disinherit me now, if you please! Do it now, Aunty. I have made my last submission to your cruel
money! You have educated me so
that I haven’t one chance in a thou
sand to earn a living. God Jrnow? what I con do. Bift I will find some
thing. I accept the odds. I will
make a go of it somehow.”Aunty’s stare was skeptical, scorn
ful. Ljinn turned away.
“Where are you off to now?”
“To the palace. The Maharanee
is human. Perhaps she and I can
find something to laugh at.”
“Very well, Lynn. AU your clothes
were removed to the palace last
night, against my wishes. Go and
pack them. If it kills me, we are
taking the first boat home, and you
may say so to the Maharanee. You
may tell her why. If you don’t, I will.”“And if you don’t,” Lynn an
swered, “the palace women will!
They have been listening through
the bedroom window. So if you
want to get the first malicious word
in, you had better be quick! Write
a letter, why don’t you? I assure you I won’t discuss it.”
She picked up her tennis racket
and unscrewed the frame. It was
a hardly conscious gesture: it was
much too hot for tennis. She walked out through the screen door, carry
ing the racket.
As she approached the palace
front door, she saw Norwood’s horse
near the portico. She recognized
Norwood’s sais, squatting down un
der the horse’s nose, half asleep, instead of flicking flies off the horse
as he should.
Then she saw Rundhia. He had
been watching for her. One could
tell that by his manner. He looked
astonishingly handsome in a gray suit of some thin material and a
gray silk turban.
“Tennis?” he asked. “In this
heat?”“No. Tantrum! I’m so angry I
could kill.”
“Don’t kill me, Lynn. I’m important. Tell me instead.”
Lynn used the racket as if she
were returning one of Rundhia’s serves. “Would you tell me the
truth?”
He grinned. “Well, almost. Who
can be in love and tell the whole
truth? I will lie to you, of course,
about my character. But I will tell
the truth about yours! You’re a lovely, inspiriting, challenging fact,
Lynn Harding. You’re an event.”
“I feel like a skeleton in my own
dark closet,” she retorted, and Run
dhia laughed.
“Come and I’ll show you the treasures. Drive away the very mem
ory of Aunty!”
All the way up the palace stairs
and along the ancient corridor, Run
dhia chattered gaily. Lynn answered
in monosyllables, perfectly aware
that Rundhia was talking to divert attention from his motive.
“Beauty and the beast!” said
Rundhia.
“Bromide! Rundhia, you look like
secrets in a suave disguise.”
“My very inmost heart,” he an
swered, “is an open book. Can’t
you read it?”
“I don’t want to.”
He kept his distance. That sinu
ous right arm of his behaved itself.
He walked ahead of her through the narrow anteroom, where two tur-
baned guards salaamed respectful
ly. Rundhia spoke to one of the
guards, who switched on the electric
light in the treasure room. The
masonry wall was ten feet thick; the door a foot thick. The guard
closed the door behind them and
opened an eyehole. Lynn could see the guard’s eyes.
There was a long teak table be
tween her and Rundhia, loaded with
golden and jewelled ornaments: em
bossed golden shields, scimitars in gold sheaths, scores of objects such
as are carried in procession by the
servants of an oriental throne. Elec
tric light shone within lanterns, suspended on chains from the ancient
beams. At the far end of the room,
on the right, was a huge glass case, In which the famous Kadur dia
monds sparkled, stealing color from
the jewelled lanterns.

New Method Preserves Plants, Insects in Natural Colors
Two methods of preserving indef
initely in their natural colors such
agricultural specimens as leaves,
flowers, fruits, seeds, insects, and other biological material have been
developed by chemists of the United
States department of agriculture.
The processes, while supplementing
each other, have different fields of
application—one for dried and the
other for fresh material.
Al the method studied by Dr.
Charles E. Sando, specimens are suspended and embedded in metha
crylate, a crystal-clear plastic sim
ilar to materials used in making nonshatterable airplane windows. In this process, the specimens must
be dehydrated or dried out to pre
vent moisture from clouding the
glass-like plastic material. They may be air-dried or dehydrated by use of alcohol or ether.
Corn and other grains or seeds,
insects, or anything that does not lose its color or shape with drying, may be preserved by this method,
possibly only under controlled lab
oratory conditions. Once the plas
tic sets it can be machined and polished to a high luster so that the .specimen may be viewed from any
angle without distortion. Tbe laije-
est mount prepared so far is an ear of hybrid com.The other method, developed by
G. R. Fessenden, is a chemical
process for treating fresh plant material in such a way as to toughen
the tissues and set the natural cot
or. The natural beauty of flowers,
or the exact appearance of either
healthy or diseased leaves, can be
preserved by immersion in specially formulated water - removing
syrups. Each plant species requires
an individual treatment which has to be worked out from seven general types of formulas.
The old method of preserving
botanical specimens—pressing and drying—was unsatisfactory because of loss of color and the fact they
were easily destroyed by handling
or by insects or mold. Specimens
preserved by this new method are sealed between sheets of cellulose
film so as to be protected from
damage.
Due to the expected permanence of specimens preserved tty either
method, excellent records of both
healthy and abnormal plants and insects may be made available for scientific research, study, and exhibition.
Shelf Edging Dresses
Up Kitchen Windows
By RVTH WYETH SPEARS
COME of us can remember see- ^ ing our mothers cut scalloped
shelf papers. Dextrously they
folded and snipped the edge in points or curves; sometimes add
ing a cut out diamond in the cen
ter of each scallop. For many
there is more satisfaction in this creation of their own hands, than
in using fancy lace edge paper by the roll. Today, we find that

same satisfaction when we choose
oilcloth shelf edgings—thinking in
terms of color has a fascination
even beyond scallops with dia
monds in the center.
The suggestion sketched here
for using shelf edging to dress up
kitchen windows was sent in by a reader. The busy homemaker will appreciate the fact that the
curtains are perfectly straight and
plain and easy to remove for laun
dering. When windows and
shelves match the effect is es
pecially good. Banded towels
may be of the same color,- and tin containers for bread, sugar,
and spices may be painted with
bright enamel, to match.
The new Sewing Book -No. 3 by
Mrs. Spears is packed full of use

most any homemaker may put to

These Smart Patterns
Look Ahead to Fall
F )0 YOU take a woman’s size?
Then here is a lovely dress for you, (1799) youthful yet sophis
ticated, with clever bodice de
tailing, to create a round-bosomed effect, and a paneled skirt that
makes your hips look narrow. It’s
a perfect style for luncheons and
club affairs, yet not too dressy for
street and shopping wear, too.
Flat crepe, thin wool and rayon
jersey are smart materials for
this.
Princess Lines and Shirring.
Business and college girls will like the slim lines and simplicity
of this very attractive dress (1780), with princess skirt cut
high in the front, shirred shoul
ders, and flaring revers that frame your face becomingly. For
this, choose flat crepe, taffeta or
thin wool, with revers in white or
a pastel tint.

Peace Terms In Advance
There are those who think that
if the German people could be
made to understand that this war is
not being waged against them, but
against their leadership and tbe
political system of rule or ruin that
they allow in their name, the war
would soon be over. And that
probably is so, tor the German peo-
people are a great race, contribute
iag much to the world’s advance
ment by their industries and intelli
gent application of their tal,ents.
Why no*, then, righ at the be.
ginning formulate tbe conditions of
peace and outline the penalties, so
that all who Gght may know what
they are fighting for. Certainly
this approach to the hearts and con
sciences of the German people can
not be bolstered by such expres
sions as this from a supposedly in'
telligent American: ‘ If the world
ever is to have permanent peace.
Germany must be subdued, then
dismembered as a nation and wipe d
from the face of the tarth. Jutt
so long as Gernnnv exists she will
breed men like Hitler, and with
such men in power there can be ro
peace.”
In this humble corner there has
teen little allegiance to the theory
that the treaty of Versailles was un
just to a Germany that had so de
liberately disturbed tbe peace and
at such great cost and sacrifice to
others. Germany didn’t deserve
any soft pillows and doesn't deserve
them now, but if there is anything
to this possible gulf between Ger-
man people and their present lead
ers, it would be well to let them
know in advance the price for an
early ending of tbe conflict. If
after that there be no favorable
reaction, then -those friendly pur
poses should be. revised for tbe ul
timate victory that is sure to come,
and the revision should include the
purpose to ju'.t about follow what
this fellow is talking about. If
and when the democracies finally
muzzle Germany's mad dog, and
without tbe help of the German
people themselve?, then they will
have no cause to complain if they
too are placed permanently in a
straiujacket.—Statesville Daily.
Listen Well.
Representative Grabam A. Bar.
den, used tbe occasion of a home
coming celebration in Palico coun.
ly to make appeal for building up
of a resistance against war,” in this
country,' and made' this proposal:
"T hedateI iVOte to plunge A
merica into war, that’s the day I
will present myself to the recruit
ing station tor enlistment.”
That seems reasonable enough.
If all our national legislators were
of like mind it wouldn’t be hard to
maintain our neutrality. The Bar
den p'an would just about stakeout
the vote ot eveiy senator and re
presentative if they-used this yard,
stick in all sincerity.
Mr. Barden's commitmen listens
well. That was what was meant
for it. After making it the New
Bern congressman would think long
and loud before voting America in
to the war, but having voted, you
probably have a picture in your
mind of Congressman Barden. He’d
probably manage to find a way out
in another direction.
And that is not crital of Mr. Bar
den either. Most of us are consti
tuted that way.' Politicians find it
profitable to say fine tilings. That
is their stock iti trade. Even when
what they say flies up and hits them
on the nose they count it simply as
a part of the day’s work.
But we like ^Congressman Bar
den’s proposal*, even though the
State would lose bis services-r-tnay.

Taxation For Spoil.
(From Rural New Yorker.)
In 1932. Mr. Roosevelt completed
his second term as governor of New
York Stateafterhaving produced the
largest budget deficit in tbe history
of the Btate’s funds and found that
a majority of the people liked it. In
the campaign for the election of his
successor,: one 0f the nominees cam.
paigned vigorously on an economy
plank. He was beaten at the polls.
Thiswas sufficient ..proof to Mr.
Roosevelt, as the next president, that
spending was popular, and between
1933 and 1929, he has never..deviated
from bis political philosophy of
"spend and grow rich.”
Now the.piper most be paid, Oar
operating deficits have been in
creased every year with exptn es
from one to four billion dollars more
than receipts, and today the national
debts totals $40.U00.000,000, $20 OOO,.
000,000 more than six years ago, This
despite the fact that taxes have
doubled and trebled durli.g that
period. Definitely we have nit
“grown richer.” We have grown
poorer and have little to show for it
except experience. The tax burden
reaches into every man’s pocket with
no one escaping.
The futility of this “tax and
spend” program is at last being re*
cognized by the people. Taxation
fo r legislitimate government ex*
penses is one thing; taxation for po>
Iitical spoils is quite another, and it
is this latter type of burden that is
at last being resented and resisted.
An awakening to the need for eco
nomy ;and retrenchment was mani
fest in many states during this year’s
legislative'sessions. Although the
congress has again passed: a record
budget, there is a growing }realiza*
tion that the Ametican people are
tiring of the-magic..wand.propa
ganda and seek a change, and as a
result, there has been a noticeable
Stiffening'of political backs in Wash*
ington. The legislature in Albany
has likewise insisted on a cut in the
state’s budget, and at this date is
still standing firm on its $26,000,000
reduction. Other Btates are' adopt
ing the same course.'
This switch from spending to ecoc*
omy will be difficult both for'the po-
Uiic^teWfd the citisfgg.^ !'Expenses
will have to be cut, officeholders and
sinecures discharged atid jvote-get-
ting! .expenditures Yo f .taxpayers'
money atopped. Taxes, on the other
>iand,-will Iiave to remajn^ until the
hation’rbalances its'debisv with its
taking, but well worth the effort.

“About the best-story I have yet

1 well knowu resident. He said
that a white man was on trial for
some violatioa of the law, was cou-
victed and the presiding judge gave
him a term on the county roads.
As soon as the sentence had been
imposed, tbe defendant wanted to
know of his honor if be would ,do
him a favor by including in that
sentence that he should wear
tripes. - '

judge, “but .I would like for you to

Herr Hitler.
Statesville Record.
Hitler—tbe man without a fam
ily, without a wife, without a child.
What does be care about onr fami
lies? He doesn’t know what it is
tolove a family—to enjoy the finer
things of this life—be only knows
destruction, to wreck the poor and
make this life on earth one to be
lower than ever before. Wby a man
like Hitler is permitted to live is
beyond us.
Tne German people are the niost
peace abiding people on earth but
a mongrel (Hitler) tbe man who
never had a real country has stirred
them to a pitch never before eqna’l-
el in any land. He has censured
everything the German people stand
for, he has ousted the Jew, he has
restricted a free press,he hastbrown
out history,, be has restricted radio,
the’ theatre, the picture show, he
his even made tbe people of Ger
many go on a restricted ditt so
that he could prepare more and
more for war.
Why a man should live Hitler
(the mongrel) is beyond us, and
so many real honest to-goodness
youths, the pride of Germany, Po.
and and other European countries
t»o to tbeir death because of his ego.
We believe that Hitler is abso
lutely responsible for the present
state of affairs in Europe today and
if he were rid of, there would be
no trouble at all Down with Hit
Ier and everything he stands for .

The Crowning Insult
(Union Republican )
Once again President Roosevelt
presumnes to set himself up as the
sole and absolute judge of what the
Democratic party s'ands for and who
is entitled to be considered Demo

Inve refused to be seduced from

M the Jackson Diy dinner of the

Now, in a message to the Young*
Democrats in Pittsburgh, he th.ear
ens to ‘’take a walk” himself if tbe

or does not jump wben he cracks

It is the crowning Roosevelt in*
suit to those patriotic Democrats
who have kept the torch of Jeffer
SrInian principles burning bright a
mid the darkness and devastation of
tbe New Deal.
But they are made of sterner stuff
than' Mr. Roosevelt foolishly sup*
poses. They are not the type of men
to be bullied.Senator King, of
Utah, we believe, expressed the
opinion of ail of them when he com*
mented thus on the bluster of the
President:
“ Mr. Roosevelt didn’t hesitate Io
Ieaye theparty and vote for The*,
dore Rooseveit, so he would have a
precedent for declining to take part
in the election of a Democrat who
will be nominated at the next con*
vention.
“The party founded by Thomas
Jefferson was not a social party. It
was a party founded on personal li
berty and the dual form of govern*
ment. There are millions of men

who'will not follow any fantastic,

DOANS PILLS
THE STORY THUS FAB
Captain Carl Norwood has been sent from bis native England to the Kadur
River district In India, along with his indispensable manservant, Moses O'Leary, soldier of fortune. Norwood's Job is to survey the district to determine whether a valuable secret diamond mine belongs to the temple priests or to the ruler,
the Maharajah of Kadur. Norwood calls on the Bntish Residency to pay his initial respects. On bis way he catches a glimpse of two women in a palace carriage, one of whom is young and beautiful. The other woman he knows to be the Maharanee of Kadur. OXeary later tells him that the young woman is an American girl named Lynn Harding, who with her aunt, Mrs. Deborah Harding, is a guest at the palace. On a sightseeing tour Mrs. Harding sprains an ankle, and sends to the palace for aid. Prince Rundhia, handsome, spoiled nephew of the rulers, comes to her rescue, and takes her back to the palace where he meets Lynn. At a banquet that night in the palace, attended by Captain Norwood, Mrs.
Harding takes one of the native doctor's pills, and becomes violently AL She is placed in bed and arrangements are made for Lynn to move out of the quarters with her aunt and stay with the Maharanee. That evening Prince Rundhia at*
tempts to make love to Lynn. She is unwilling to listen to him. and at the crucial moment Norwood appears on the scene, much to Rundhia's disgust O'Leary has located tlie secret entrance to the diamond mine which is being worked by the temple priests. He takes Norwood to the mine, where death is narrowly averted when a live cobra is thrown In Norwood's face. Later Norwood visits the Brahmin
priests, one of whom slyly slips a packet of diamonds in his pocket unknown to Norwood. They are intended as a bribe. While Norwood is talking to Lynn the diamonds fall from his pocket S ie notices them, and sees that be Js surprised.
CHAPTER VII—Continued
When Lynn glanced at Rundhia
again, he had his back to the iron
chest and he was staring at her,
dark-eyed, not smiling—noticeably
not. Lynn accepted the unspoken
challenge:
“I am sorry I let you kiss me this
morning. I shouldn’t have. It wasn’t
lair. It may have given you a
wrong impression.”
“The correct one being—”
“Oh, I was just being mischiev
ous. It meant nothing.”
“No?”
Rundhia eyed her for several sec
onds without speaking. S ie didn’t
feel afraid of him, but every fiber
in her being wa~s aware of crisis.
Simulating calmness that she did
not feel, she almost unconsciously
moved the tennis racket from one
hand to the other.
"Careful with that,” he advised.
“Put it down. You might break
something. Com eoverhereandsee
the emeralds.”
She did not put down the tennis
racket. That would have been obe
dience. She was obeying no one. It
was not obedience that made her
walk toward him around the over-
loaded table. She was walking
straight into danger. She didn’t de
ceive herself about that for a mo
ment. Neither did Rundhia try to
deceive her. Passion, confident and
self-avowed, glowered in his splen-;
did eyes. They were more arrest
ing than the diamonds in the glass
case. He looked bold, experienced,
and much more masculinely beauti
ful than any human being she had
ever met. She could feel her heart
pounding. And she felt as sure of
herself as if she were about to-
plunge into a warm inviting sea.
She didn’t hesitate.
“Lynn, I love you!”
“Weren’t you going to show mo
the emeralds?”
Strange, how such tactics checked
him. He behaved as he did in the
garden the previous night when she
mentioned the British Resident and
Norwood. It seemed to make him
nervous—to remind him of some in
sufficiency within himself. He
glanced past her, at the eyehole in.
the door, then turned and opened
the iron chest, He took out two
handfuls of huge emeralds.
"Thousands,” she said, "I sup
pose, are like me. What is it about
precious- stones that—”
"Thrills you? Sensuous things,
aren’t they?Feel their magic! Press
ttiem against your face! Enjoy
them! One of these days they’ll be
mine. These emeralds are not State
property. Lynn! Love me and I’ll
give them to you!"
"Thank you. I don’t want them.”
"Maharanee Lynn of Kadurl How
would that be? Lynn—"
He moved both arms toward her.
S ie poured back the emeralds into
his hands. He had to take them,
or they would have crashed to the
tiled floor and that might have
brought in the guard. Rundhia
dumped them back into the chest.
Lynn spoke before he could:
"Show me the diamonds. Captain
Norwood—” Rundhia flinched. Lynn
noticed it—"wouldn’t show me those
that he has.”
Again she had sent Rundhia’s
thought off on a tangent. His eyes
weren’t steady any longer. Lynn
followed up:
“They looked like big ones, but
he’s careless with them. If I hadn’t
noticed them fall he might have Irat
them.”
"Diamonds?” said Rundhia. "In
Norwood’s pocket? When?”
“This morning. He let them fall
while he was talking to me.”
She was already sorry she had
said it. Rundhia’s eyes darkened
with what looked like cunning. Lynn
felt safer. Rundhia was running
wild along a new line, for the mo
ment. But Lynn felt guilty. She
should not have defended herself, at
Norwood’s cost. She hadn’t meant
to. But she guessed now that she
had. It made her self-contemptuous
and angry. .
“Rundhia, what are you thinking
about?” .
“You! You onlyl” His eyes sought
hers again. "To hell with Norwoodl
Lynn beloved, beautiful, glorious
girlr-”
Lynn laughed. “Ask Aunty Hard
ing what I am! She saw us!”
“Damn her, what do we care?"
“Captain Norwood also saw us.”
"Any of his business?” Rundhia
checked again. His eyes darkened.
“Look here, Lynn, I don’t like to
tell tales about people—”
“Why do it then?”
“You ought to know this. Nor
wood has been talking.”
“About me?”
“Yes. While he was waiting to
enter the audience room just now
he asked a palace official where you
slept last night.”
“I don’t believe it.”
“The official told me.”
"Captain Norwood never would do
such a thing.”
“Don’t you know he’s a spy for the
British Intelligence? Such fellows
havent a scruple. Do you think I
would lie to you?”
“Yes! I know you would! Let’s go
now, Rundhia. I’ve seen enough. I
want to talk to the Maharanee.”
“Merciless! You want to tantalize
me? I’m already mad about youl
Mad, I tell you! Lynn, do you be-
The Resident decided to take
hatred by the boras.
Iieve this love that sweeps me like a
storm can’t conquer you? Do you
suppose you can fire my veins, tor
ture my heart—and not burn in the
same ecstasy? I said burn! You are
as passionate as I am! You are no
cold beauty. Come here.”
She was against the table. He
was pushing her backward. Things
were falling off the table. He was
kissing her. His face was buried in
her hair. She freed her right a rm -
groped—seized the tennis racket and
struck him hard in the face with its
edge. Blood. Blood on her frock.
Lots of it. Rundhia let go then. He
found his handkerchief and held it
to his face. Blood.
Lynn gasped, breathless: "What
have I done?”
He didn't answer. With the hand
kerchief to his face he turned away
from her.
“Rundhia,” she said, "I wouldn’t
have hurt you for worlds.”
“You have broken my heart,” he
answered.
“Rundhia!”
It was the Maharanee’s voice. The
great teak door had swung open.
The Maharanee stood in the door
way, staring, with the guards behind
her, She turned and dismissed the
guards.
“Rundhia, what have you been do
ing? There is blood on Lynn’s frock!
Lynn! Darling, what has he done
to you?”
"No harm,” Lynn answered. She
turned to hide the blood and the rip
in her frock.
The Maharanee spoke to Rundhia,
in his own language, vehemently,
for about a minute. She was at no
loss for words. She let him have it
with the governed directed anger
that cuts like a whip. Then, in Eng
lish, for Lynn’s benefit:
“Don’t play for sympathy! That is
no more than one of your usual
nose-bleeds! Let your doctor attend
to it. Go!”
Rundhia strode from the room.
The Maharanee' came and put her
arm around Lynn:
“Lynn," Lynn darling, I am too
ashamed to tell you how I feel. Has
he hurt you? Are you all. right? I
have told him I will neither pay his
debts nor speak to him again until
he has your full forgiveness.”
CHAPTER VIU
Norwood could almost physically
feel those diamonds in his tunic
pocket. He should have asked
Lytm not to mention them. He knew
that. It was too late to turn back.
And besides, she was having a row
with her aunt and it wouldn’t be
cricket to butt in. He wished he
hadn’t seen Lynn kiss Rundhia.
There were two things that Norwood
ached to do that minute. One was
to punch Rundhia. The other was
to go to the temple and throw those
diamonds at the high priest. •
But that was just the kind of
thing that Norwood could be trusted
not to do. He knew exactly what he
should do. But the Maharajah and
his court were waiting to give him
official audience. He glanced at his
watch. There remained only five
minutes in which to reach the pal
ace in time for the appointment, so
he mounted his horse at the gate
and rode up the long drive to the
front door, where he arrived exactly
on the minute. The sais wiped the
dust from his boots and he strode up
the palace steps, expecting to get
away within fifteen minutes. But
time, in India, is one of lethargy’s
dimensions.
As a captain, Norwood wasn’t en
titled to be received . from the
throne, so the Maharajah sat on a
gilded chair at one side of the room,
with officials of only second-grade
importance on smaller chairs to
right and left. The chamberlain
stood and read aloud from the in
struction for the reception of Brit
ish captains:
“His Highness now enquires after
the visitor’s health . . . The visitor
responds. . . His Highness is pleased
to welcome him . . . His Highness
begs him to be seated . . . The vis
itor sits. . . His Highness. . . ’’
He was met and importunately
detained by the Maharajah’s min
ister of state and four other im
portant members of the Council.
Silently cursing his luck, he did
his best to escape. But servile
wretches in silken Uveries flung open
the door of an anteroom.
“Look here, Diwan sahib, I’d be
awfully glad to talk things over with
you now, but I have urgent business
at the Residency.”
"Oh, but Captain Norwood, we
could phone the Residency.”
“That wouldn't help', I’m afraid.
I’m not expected there. I need the
Resident’s advice.”
"Ah, but Captain Norwood, is not
our need greater? Documents, argu
ments, some witnesses, are ready
now! His Highness has postponed
important business to be present He
is waiting in the CouncU room.
This boundary dispute is so urgent
and its implications so important
that we feel our importunity is
justified. We beg you.”
“Oh, w en.”
Norwood could almost feel those
diamonds, burning him through the
lining of his tunic pocket Tension
crept into his normally easy man
ner. The ministers detected it .Ten
sion became mutual.
‘I hope you’ll bear in mind I’m
in a hurry.”
Two cars started from Rundhia’s
palace door within two minutes of
each other. Having brought Run
dhia’s nose-bleed under control, the
Bengali doctor drove away first, in
the smaUer car, for a professional
caU on Aunty Harding. If he had
been going to his own execution, he
might have looked equally comfort
less. Perhaps he dreaded Aunty
Harding’s temper, perhaps some
thing else.
Rundhia, a moment or two later,
climbed into the new Rolls-Royce
and laid his head back on the cush
ions, to prevent the nose-bleed from
recurring. He was still bleeding
slightly. He kept dabbing with a
handkerchief.
“The British Residency!”
The Russian chauffeur drove like
fury, but Rundhia made him slow
down near the Residency gate.
Though he affected to despise all
ceremonial, Rundhia took cynical
pleasure in making sure they should
turn out the guard. He had phoned
to say he was coming, so he was
shown into the dim library, where
the shades were drawn against the
brazen sunlight, and the Resident
didn’t keep him waiting more than a
couple of minutes.
“How are you, Rundhia. How is
the new Rolls-Royce behaving?"
Rundhia dabbed at his nose with
the handkerchief. “The car is quite
well, thank you. How are you?”
They sat in armchairs eyeing each
other in comfortless silence for near
ly a minute. The Resident, who was
feeling drowsy, tried to look firm,
but fatherly and cordial. Rundhia
was very good indeed at looking in
solent without giving actual grounds
for offense. He did his best, until
the Resident decided to take hatred
by the horns:
“Of course, I’ve no inkling of the
reason for this unexpected visit,
Rundhia. However, I’m glad you
came. There are no witnesses, and,
of course, this is off the record,
am taking the opportunity to
mind you, once more, privately, that
our treaty with this otherwise in
dependent State of Kadur gives to
His Majesty’s Indian Governmcmt
the right to veto the succession to
the throne of any heir in whom His
British Majesty’s advisers may lack
sufficient confidence."
“I have always been civil to you.
But you couldn’t like me, even if
you tried, could you!” Rundhia i
torted.
“I take exception to that,” said
the Resident. “I have my duty to
consider, not my personal likes and
dislikes. As a matter of actual fact,
I could easily like you, if you would
give me the opportunity. When you
choose, you can be charming, and
you are very intelligent. But on
several occasions I have deplored
your conduct and have had to speak
to you about it. You have recently
returned from Delhi. Rumors
reached me. Without revealing con
fidences, I may say they were more
than rumors. There are limits be
yond which an heir to a throne
should not trespass in quest of
amusement—or for any other rea
son. I remind you that your cousin
Jodha comes of age Ibis week.” .
“Jodha is such a crock he couldn’t
cut up if he tried,” said Rundhia.
"One leg in the grave. The other’s
rotten. Why drag him in? He’ll be
dead soon.”
"Failing acceptable heirs, the
throne of Kadur can be escheated.
I am warning you, Rundhia.”
"Thanks! I have heard you. Now
it’s my turn and I’ll warn you. It’s
what I came for. Who is this Cap
tain Norwood? I notice you didn’t
present him at the palace. He came
alone. Why? Are you keeping your
hands off? Why does he carry dia
monds in his tunic pocket? Why is
he nervous when someone happens
to see them? Is he one of your Brit
ish gentlemen who never-never un
der any circumstances, never take
a bribe? From a priest, for instance
—to report, according to his honor
able conscience, in the priests’ fa

In Italy there are 105,000 miles of
highways. Of this total 12,000 miles
are national highways and the rest
provincial and communal roads.
There are 2,000 miles of completed
roads in Ethiopia and another 1,000
miles will be ready for use within
Jhe next 12 months. In. Iybia there
are approximately 2,000 miles of
roads, 1,250 miles of which skirt the
seafront, extending from the Tuni
sian to the Egyptian frontiers.
Italy claims that its roads are the
highest, the most beautiful and the
most fascinating in Europe. The
highest road climbs over the Stelvio
into Switzerland! At its highest
point it reaches an altitude of 9,050
feet above sea level. The most
beautiful, according to Italian
claims, is the winding, picturesque
road in the pastel-tinted Dolomites.,
The most fascinating is the Garde-
sana, which runs along the west
side of Lake Garda. It is a marvel
of engineering, as most of its length
is carved out of solid stone moun
tains and long stretches run through
galleries.
Italy ,has eight superhighways-
(autostrades), reserved exclusively
for high-speed motor traffic. TTiey
pass through some of the most beau
tiful regions in Italy and form di
rect connecting .links between
places of artistic and historical in
terest. Work of keeping Italy’s
highways up to date .has been en
trusted to the autonomous, road
board. Through its labors the
greater part of the Italian road
system has been reorganized.
The inconveniences of the old
thoroughfares have been reduced.
Dirt roads, which meant mud in
rain and dust in dry weather, have
disappeared, and road surfaces as
phalted and paved. Dangerous
curves and steep gradings ^have
been eliminated. Trees and fences
alongside roads have been painted
with white bands to aid wight driv
ing.

Fine EtJdced Taste
Displayed Jty Taft
When President Taft left the
White House he went into lectur
ing.
“I think he enjoyed it quite as
much as any other part of his ca
reer,” says Mark Sullivan—an old
hand at lecturing himself. “He
went into it with foe wish to amass
a modest competence. Just before
Taft left the White House, Ed
ward Bok asked him to deliver
some lectures at HiU school for
which Bok would pay a fee. Taft,
with some feeling, turned to his
wife and said: ‘You see, I told
you there would be opportunities
to make a living.’
“Taft felt reluctant to practice
law,” added Sullivan.

The President has called Con

will do in regard Io repealing or
modifying ibe neutrality law, no
one seems to know. Both Repub

this law. The President seems to
want the bars let down so thiscoun-
try can sell all kinds of guns and
ammunition to the Germans, Brii

to help speed up the killing. This
would help thp big steel mills and

WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
XTEW YORK.—Back in the cham-
pagne days, when our Uncle
Sam was “Uncle Shylock” in Eng
land, Sir Philip Kerr, later the
„ ... . _ marquess oiBnhah Envoy Lothian, did
Ia O ld Friend not share this
O f Vnele Sam disesteem. He
said repeated
ly that Abraham Lincoln was his
political saint; he risked ostracism
at his club by admitting that Amer
ica did a lot to help win the war,
and urged that England should at
least make a token payment on the
American debt.
Lord Lothian, arriving in Wash
ington as British ambassador to this
country, has traveled widely in this
country, has always' taken home
good reports, and, as one of the
most skilled artisans of empire-
building and upkeep, has urged un
derstanding and co-operation be
tween the two nations, for the well
being of both.
“The British empire,” he recently
said, “is America’s outer ring of
security. If it disappears under
Fascist attack, the United States
and its Monroe Doctrine, freedom
of the seas and so on would be
threatened.”
A brilliant writer and speaker,
addressing cultural and foreign
policy groups in many nations,
Lord Lotbian has spoken and
written unofficially, his disserta
tions reflecting closely empire
policy. There probably is no
more scholarly and gifted out
rider of the British intellectual
dominions than this handsome
Oxonian, trained in South Af
rica under the famous Lord Mil
ner, skilled not only in the real
istic “pratique” of empire-buHd-
tag, but in its genteel histrion
ics.
Like Simon, Chamberlain, Hoare,
Halifax, Astor, Beaverbrook and
virtually all the others of the Brit
ish high command in recent years,
he firmly refused to believe—until
Munich—that Adolf Hitler had any
but pacific and constructive inten
tions; he shared the prevailing con
servative view that German expan
sion would be, legitimately, to the
east, and that the resurgent Reich
harbored no designs against the
British empire. In 1935, he visited
Kerr Hitler and returned with warm
reassurance to his countrymen. He
reported great achievements by the
Nazis and indicated high esteem for
their fuehrer—as virtually all his
political associates had done.
He shared the shock and bewil
derment of his confreres in the aft
ermath of Munich. He urged that
no further concessions be made to
Germany and that the Hitler on
slaught should be met with an im
pregnable alliance against him. It
was after Miinich that he warned
America against the ills with which
it would be beset if Britain should
succumb to a "Fascist attack.”
T OUIS (LEPKE) BUCHALTER,

been away, was discharged seven

Be has never carried a gun,
and, as befits the richest of all
indDstrial racketeers, keeps the
strong-arm stuff moving smooth
ly, with perhaps no more than
an inter-office memorandum to
carry it through. Unlike his
predecessors of such amateur
ish outfits as Che Gas House
Gang, he is no show-off, never
wears conspicuous clothes,
speaks softly and is never out
in front. His gang at times has
included more than 500 thirty-
second degree hoodlums, and J.
Edgar Hoover, of the FBI, to
whom he surrenders, has put
him down as a co-partner of the
Barker-Karpis kidnaping gang
and other equally unpopular
outfits.
He was born in Essex street, on
New York’s Lower East Side, in
1897, one of 11 children. AU his
brothers and sisters are honest and
respectable. No explanation of his
errant ways has ever been offered.
In his early youth, he formed a
partnership with young Jacob Sha
piro, the beginning of a Jong and
poisonous friendship. They worked
up from such small beginnings as
package-snatching and mauling
pushcart peddlers, and, taking on
hired help, began to take over old-
established crime firms, such as the
Kid Dropper gang. Their first big-
business outreach was when they
began systematically to shoot up the
leather business.

** V O U are a very naughty boy,”
* said Mrs. Wilson to her little
son, as she looked with dismay at
the mutilated magazine she had
just taken from him. “If Donald
were not on his way to tea with you,
I would put him off and punish you
severely. You know this magazine
belongs to his mother aiid was only
lent to us. I shall have to explain
to her, and what will she think? It
is not easy to get another copy.
Run away, I am out of patience with
you,” she added, flushed and great
ly annoyed.
It was an unhappy and sullen child
that slipped off to his playroom.
A little later a ring of the bell
announced the arrival of the visi
tors, Mrs. Macgregor and her son
Donald. The boy was carrying a
large parcel and looking very happy
about it.
“May I see Harry at once, Mrs.
Wilson? I have a present for him,’*
said Donald eagerly.
The two mothers listened for a
few moments, and excited exclama
tions of joy soon reached their ears.
“You look disturbed and worried.
I hope you are not in trouble,” said
Mrs. Macgregor.
“Yes, I am. Sit down. I am so
glad you have come, though I did
think of putting you off, to punish
Harry for his naughtiness. First of
all I must confess to you about this
magazine of yours,” responded Mrs.
Wilson. "I have just caught Harry
hi the act of cutting the picture of
a dog out of it. I am so sorry.”
Mrs. Macgregor laughed. “It does
not matter in the least. I wonder
what made him do it,” she added
thoughtfully.
That is just what I should like to
know. It is not the first time he has
done that sort of thing. He has a
perfect passion for cutting out. The
strange thing about it is, that though
I have given him old magazines to
clip to his heart’s content he does
not confine himself to them. When
the impulse seizes’him he is liable
to cut from any paper or magazine
without any scruples whatever.
Only, the other day, I found his sis
ter Ethel terribly upset. Harry had
cut the picture of a spaniel out of
the book her father gave her on her
birthday.”
Cutting No Idle Impulse.
“That is bad. He must be taught
to respect other people’s property.
You said it was the picture of a
spaniel? Another dog? Is he fond
of dogs?”
“Yes, he is devoted to them. Un
fortunately, we cannot let him have
one because we live in an apart
ment. What can I do? A few days
ago I found a little collection of dog
pictures hidden, away in one of his
own books.”
“That is the explanation!” ex
claimed Mrs. Macgregor. “It is not
a mere idle impulse, you see. He
cannot have a real dog, so he is
doing the best he can with pictures
of them. Why not help him to turn
his thwarted devotion into a scrap
book hobby? As it happens, Donald
has brought him a large scrapbook
like his own. The very thing for
his dog pictures.”
Mrs. Wilson gave a sigh of relief.
“I like that idea,” she said. “Hatry
will love to fill his book with stories
and pictures of dogs. I’m afraid I
haven’t been sufficiently sympathet
ic with this urge, of his. But of
course he must Ieam to restrain
himself when the pictures are in
books and inagazines, especially
when they belong to other people."
'1Certainlyhe must. Why hot en
courage him to ‘take you to see’
each new dog before he appropriates
it? Show him that if it were a real
dog he would have to consult you.
Then you two can talk over the pos
sibilities. If he may not have some
particular dog that he wants for
his scrapbook, explain the owner’s
rights and help him to find another
very much like it. Children are not
unreasonable. It will make a. great
difference to him when he feels he
has your co-operation.
“He could color the pictures real
istically; that will add to the inter*
est. He will learn much from the
making of his book, and the mental
training will be invaluable.”
“Yes, I’m sure you’re right. Thank
you,” said Mrs. Wilson, smiling
gratefully.

Improve Butterfat Yields
In 10 years members of dairy-
herd improvement associations
throughout the country have so im
proved their herds that the average
yearly butterfat production of asso-’
ciation cows has increased about 30
pounds, reports Dr. J. F. Kendrick
of the federal bureau of dairy in
dustry. This increase in production,
brought about by culling out poor
producers, by feeding the remaining
cows according to production, and
by better selection of dairy sires,
has increased returns to association
members by about $8,000,000 a year.

Suede Plays an Im portart Role
In W ardrobe of the College G irl
B y CH ER IE NICHOLAS
AGAIN comes up that ever recur
ring problem—clothes befitting
fall and winter activities, formal
and informal and for all occasions
in between. Campus doings, the
football series, evening festivities,
motoring, travel, town-wear outfits,
Die well-equipped wardrobe must be
built around all these fashion de
mands. And here’s big news! Ev
eryone of these issues is being met
with fashions in suede.
Every college girl, in fact every
woman who aspires to the best that
fashion has to offer, should reckon,
In fact must reckon, with suede aa
one of the factors of high impor
tance in the assembling of a ward
robe. What leather workers, de
signers and style creators have suc
ceeded in doing with suede deserves
to be classed with the seven won
ders of the world.
Suede has that something about it
that lures you on to indulgence,
especially this season when the hats,
bags, neckwear, belts and countless
other accessories are made of it,
coats and suits tailored of it, day
time one-piece frocks, the evening
gowns and wraps fashioned of it,
surpass all previous showings. Ac
cording to Paris cables and reports
of returning buyers this is going to
be the biggest suede season ever.
The fact that you can get anything
you want these days fashioned of
suede from sports togs to evening at
tire adds to its lure. Then, too, with
the tang of autumn in the air comes
the urge for clothes that tune to the
colorful landscape and as every
woman knows when it comes to rich
beautiful colors there’s nothing in
fashion media that can surpass
suede. Note the wide scope of coat
and dress types expressed in terms
of suede as here pictured.
A coat such as shown to the left
will grace any grandstand occasion,
at the same time that it flings a defy
to biting winds on a frosty autumn
day. This model is of duck green
suede. Jean Parker, featured
screen artist, wears it. Self lacing
gives the hand touch to this hand
some practical coat, the lacing ap
plied to pockets, front, shoulders
and sleeves. Handcarved matching
buttons are used for the high double-
breasted line. The demure Peter
Pan collar, padded shoulders, huge
patch pockets and back flare are
smart notes. The flowerpot crown
bonnet in wood violet suede matches
the casual double pouch bag and
stitched slipons.
This same screen artist also se
lects a dress of suede. See it cen
tered in the group. This one-piece
frock, in an adorable dahlia red,
boasts patch pockets on the simple
bodice with an overky bow of
matching suede. The skirt, in four
sections, has a slight flare at the
hemline. With this costume by
Voris of Hollywood, Jean wears
gloves that match her dress in exact
tone, and her hat (not pictured) is
a visor type of moss green suede.
The suit to the right is a likable
affair. It is done in amber suede
which offsets the Mojave brown of
the high-neck blouse, which in turn
matches the swagger hat with high
crown. A copious purse of suede a
shade deeper than the suit comple
ments the ensemble.
The East Indian influence in fash
ion is reflected in the dinner frock
of robin’s egg blue suede shown in
the inset. It is worn by Joan Perry.
The belt is in blue and dusty pink.

IMPROVED
UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. O. D. Dean of The Moody Bible InMitute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for September 24
Lesson subjeets and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission.
ISAIAH: FORETELLING THE
BIRTH OF THE MESSIANIC KING
LESSON TEXT—Isaiah 7:14; 9:1*7; 11:1-5.GOLDEN TEXT-His name shall be called Wonderful* Counsellor. Hie mighty God, The
everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.— Isaiah 9:6:
Christ is coming! Christ has come!
Christ is coming again! AU three of
these great truths are declared by
Holy Scripture. In our lesson for
today we study the prophecy of His
birth which was given by Isaiah
about 750 years before the event
took place, and with it we find many
beautiful details concerning His
blessed character and accomplish
ments. It is entirely appropriate that
the lesson for today should be taken
from the Old Testament and relate
to the prophecy of the coming of the
Messianic King, thus binding to
gether the Old and the New Testa
ments. Isaiah’s prophecy prepares
us to study His life in the Gospel of
Matthew, beginning next week.
I. The Coming of the King (7:14;
9:1-6).
To us it is entirely understandable
that the Son of God was to be
come flesh and dwell among us and
that all the grace and power of God
should be upon Him, for we know
that He did come in perfect fulfill-
ment of the Scriptures. But let us
not fail to note the marvel of this
revelation made centuries in ad
vance through God’s prophet.
1. Born of a Virgin (7:14; 9:6).
He was to be boro. Christ did
not come as a fully matured divine
being after the fashion of the so-
called gods of mythology, but He
entered our needy world as the Babe
of Bethlehem’s manger. What in
finite condescension!
He was to be bom of a virgin,
and so He was. There are those
who would minimize the importance
of this, or try to explain it away by
interpreting the word “virgin” to
mean a young married woman. The
late Robert Dick Wilson, an out
standing authority, says, ’The great
and only difficulty lies in disbelief
in predictive prophecy and in the air
mighty power of God, or in the de
sire to throw discredit on the divine
Sonship.”
2. God with Us (7:14).
"Immanuel” means “God with
us.’’ Isaiah had a foregleam of the
incarnation which brought the eter
nal Son of God into .that God-man
relationship which was absolutely in
dispensable if there was to be re
demption. S n had made a barrier
between God and man which man
could not pass, and only as the God-
man, Christ Jesus, came through
that barrier to be "God with us”
could there be any hope of our'salva
tion.
3. A Great Light (9:2).
The Messiah was to break through'
the dense darkness of sin and sor*
row to bring light and joy. How.
gloriously that prophecy has been
fulfilled!
D. The Character of the King (9:
6. 7; 11:1-5).
The prophet foretold not only the
meaningful names of the coming
Messiah, but pictured in glowing
beauty the mighty things which He
was to accomplish.
1. Revealed by His Names (9:6).
“Wonderful”—that word has been
so misused that it means compara
tively little to us. It really fulfills
its true meaning in Christ. He is
unique, remarkable, yes, truly won*
derful. “Counsellor”—in every de
tail of life, great or small, an in
fallible guide. “Mighty God”—not
just like God, or representing God;
Christ is God. “Everlasting Fa
ther”—the tender and loving, un
failing One to whom time does not
bring any change, for He is the
“Father of eternity.” “Prince of
Peace”—He is. not yet the ruler of
the nations of the world, hence we
hear not only of wars but of rumors
of wars. Mark it well that there
will be no enduring peace unto He
comes to reign whose right it is to
reign, the divine Prince of Peace.
2. Revealed by His Deeds (9:7;
11:1-5).
Eternal justice and righteousness,
peace, wisdom, understanding, coun
sel and might, the spirit of knowl
edge and the fear of God, unfailing
equity—all these glorious accom
plishments are to characterize the
Messiah according to Isaiah’s proph
ecy.
Has the prophecy been fulfilled?
We know' that all of these qualities
were in Christ when He came to
earth the first time, but the com
plete fulfillment of this prophecy
awaits that day toward which the
child of God looks with joy and
hope when Christ shall come again.
As we study this portion of our les
son, our hearts should cry out with
John, “Even so, come. Lord Je
sus’’ (Rev. 22:20).
To Gain Truth
Truth is never learned in any de
partment of industry by arguing,
but by working and observing; and,
when you have got hold of one troth

DESSERTS IMPORTANT IN MEND
(Recipes Below, i
Desserts That Are
Different
Build up your menu to an inter
esting climax with a new and de
licious dessert!
Desserts really play an important
part in the menu, and in nutrition,
too.
Sweets, provided in proper
amounts and in the proper place in
the diet, are just as necessary to
good nutrition as milk, meat, fruits,
vegetables and cereals.
Plan the dessert to fit the menu—a
light sweet for the close of a hearty
dinner, and a richer, heavier des
sert to wind up the meal that is
fairly simple. Consider the weather,
too, and when it’s hot and humid,
serve sweets that are temptingly
dainty. When the temperature drops
and appetites perk up accordingly,
desserts may be sweeter, richer and
more substantial.
You'll find in this collection of
tested recipes from my own kitchen
a dessert for almost any occasion.

The Boston Bridge
Wreck.
J. A. Bolicb, in The State.
On August 27, 1891 , train No.
9, on the old Richmond & Danville
Railroad, left Salisbury for Ashe
ville and Paint Rock at 1:45 a. m.
There were five cars on the train,
consisting of one baggage car, two
coaches, one sleeper, the “Saluda”,
and a private car, the “ Daisy.’’
which was used by Supt. V. E.
McBee. The latter car, however,
was not occupied by any of the
railroad officials on this particular
trip.
The engine was 166 . The train
crew consisted of Eugineer W. A.
West, Fireman Warren Fry, Con
ductor J. F. Spaugh. Baggagemas
ter Hugh Leinster, Flagman C. L.
Sboaf and Train Porter Doc Wells.
Bostein bridge was located three
miles west of Statesville. It was a
high, concrete structure. Just as
the train hit the bridge, it left the
rails and the entire train plunged
to the bottom — 70 feet below. The
cars were smashed to flinders. In
those days, of course, all- cars were
of wooden construction. Four mem
bers of the crew were killed, in
cluding Engineer West, Fireman
Fry, Baggagemaster Leinster and
Porter Doc Wells. Eighteen pas
sengers also lost their lives.
There were passengers on board
the train from Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Virginia and other states,
whose names probably would have
no special interest to the readers ot
this article. But among the North
Carolinians who lost their lives—in
addition to the train crew—were W.
H. Houston, of Greensboro; J. B.
Austin, of Hickory; A. Davis, of
Statesville; Walter E. Winslow, of
Asheville; Charles and Perry Bar-
net, of Asheville; Samuel German,
of Asheville; Mrs. George McCor.
mack and daughter, Mrs. Julia
Foust, of Cleveland; Mrs. Sue Pool
of Williamston, and Henry Patter
son, colored, of Salisbury.
Among the injured were Conduc
tor J. F. Spaugb, of Salisbury; Ben
Smith, of Reidsville; Flagman C.
F. Shoaf, of Lexington: State Au
ditor George W. Sanderlin, of Ra

W ereontheirbridal tour,- having
having been married the evening
before. ' Cd. Beneban Cameron, of
Raleigh, was one of the two men
on the train who were unhurt.
Engineer West:. left two young
sons, and as soon as they were old
train had left Salisbury more than
an hour late.. When the train left
Statesville, which was the last tele
graph office east, of Newto.n, we all
got ready, thinking that it wouid
be there in about thirty minutes.
At about 5 o’clock u. m., the op
erator told Us verp excitedly that
the train had fallen off the Bostain
bridge and that practically every
body aboard had been killed. In a
very short while there was a big
crowd at the station, for the news
spread rapidly. I boarded the next
train going east and arrived at the
bridge about 7:30 a. m.
As long as I live, I'll never for
get the sight that greeted us there
The, wreckage was terrible. . Men
were busily at work getting ont the
bodies, ' There were only two men
on the train who didn’t get hurt.
One of them, as I have already said,
was Co!. Benehan Cameron, and I
don’t recall the name of the other
one. However, he was the one
who walked back to Statesville, a.
bout three miles away, and gave
out news of the wreck.
That morning all business was
suspended in Statesville and every
body went to the scene of the wreck
to assist in any. way they could.
It was 8 a. m., before all the dead
and injured were taken out.
Engine No. 166 was what was
known as a “Cook engine,’’, and
would be considered a light weight
today, because it weighed only 15
tons. There were no derricks to
aid in picking up the wreckage and
all of the wo.k bad to be done with
block and-tackle and cables. It
took five days to get all of' the stuff
out, although actual traffic on the
tracks was resumed in a few hours.
There have been many changes
in railroads and railroad personnel
since those days. At the present
time there are only threa people on
the Asheville division of the South
ern Rallrcad who were in the ser
vice in 1S91. They are three fine
engineers, running passenger trains
between Sallsbu'y and Asheville—
J. H. Sullivan, Frank Cline and
his brother, John Cline.
[The editor of The Record was
living in Hickoty at ibe time this
horrible wrtck occurred, and re
members the great excitement that
it caused. Two Hickory people
were killed in the wreck. Fireman
Fry and J. B. Au-tin, both of whem
we knew. The man whose name
Mr. Bolich dida’t remember, who
walked from the scene of the wreck
to Statesville to spread the new?,
was also a Hickory man. He was
J. Worth Elliott, Drominent con'
enough tor woik, they were given^ Jractor, who, with his cousin, J. D;
jobs on the railroad. Tljeir names
are Claude and Harry and they are
both popular passenger conductors
ou the Southern Railroad out of
Asheville.
■Hugh Leinster was a brother of
Mrs. Harry Freer, Sr., of States
ville, and was one of the outstand
ing men. in that section.
Conductor Spaugh and Flagman
Shoaf were badly injured, but both
regained their health and were able
to work for a while, but not for
long. They died shortly afterward
from effects of their injuries.
Officials of the Southern said that
the track hhd beeu tampered with.
Spikes had'been pulled and the
rail was laid loose. '
Several men were arrested and
questioned,, but no convictions re- 1
.suited.
In those days there was no rock
ballast) nor were there any tie
plates. AU rails were 60 pounds
in weight.
I had gone home to Catawba
county, near Newton, to attend the'
Ball’s CfCek campmeeting and., was
at Newtbn 'on the morning of Aug
ust 27 , waiting to catch the ’train
to Asheville. At that tiine I .was

Interesting Old Letter.
J. Lee Kurfees banded us a let
ter a few days ago that was written
from Ftaukfort, Ky , on Feb. 6,
1882 , l>y Rev. M. C. Kurfees, to bis
father, J. P. Kurfees, who lived
near Jericho. The letter contained
20 pages, and gave a vivid descrip
tion of the many wonderful sights
Mr. Kurfees saw while attending
the Atlanta Exposition. He de
scribed the many wocderful exhi
bits in the various buildings, among
them being a machine (hat made
Clark's O. N. T. thread, and an
other that made the spools that held
the thread. About 50 spcols were
made per minute. He also saw
many things of interest in other
lines, among them being samples
of cloth made by Fries, at Salem
and Betbania. The greatest wond
er he saw was “ The Little World.”.
It was a representation of hund
reds of midget beings engaged in
all kinds of work. The figures
were about a foot high and would
run for more than two hours from
one winding. The letter was very
interesting, and we are sorry that
we haven't the space to print it. It
took 9 cents postage to carry the
letter.

State engineers have, been spend
ing busy days, weeks and. months
figuring that 6 p. m. to 7 p. m., on
Sunday is the most dangerous hour
in Illinois as far as traffic safety is
concerned. From I p. m., to 2 p. m
and from 9 p. m., to 10 p. m., are
other dangerous Sunday hours for
traffic. The engineers also warn
that is you want a 2,000,000 to one
chance of arriving safely, travel on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or
Thursday. This seems to mean the
adoption of one principal: If church
starts at seven, be there by six. if
it doesn’t let out until nine, stick on
until ten. If you can’t gather op all
the kids and start for home on Sat
urday night before midnight, better
hangatoiind until one o’clock, and if
you’re planning on going home for
the week end, start so you . will be
there by-Thursday.

Wedding Ring Lost 40
Years Is Found.
A Btory worthy of the' best effort
of Robert Kipley has been told at
Siler City.
Aweddingring lost between 40
and 45 years ago in the yard of a
Robeson county home was found last
week only a few feet from where it
was last Been. The ring is that of
the late Mrs. J. S. Oliver.of Mariet
ta, mother of the late H. A. Oliver,
of Siler City, and it was found by
Mrs. Oliver’s daughter-in law, Mrs.
Paul S. Oliver. When Mrs. J. S,
OIiverlosttheright yJinder a wash
shelter near a well years ago, the
well was cleaned out and. its dirt
carefully sifted in a furtile search
of the ring. Since then the well
must have been cleaned out at least
40 times, In recent years it has not
been used and is now' filled with dirt,
Last week'Mra. Pearl Oliver while
sweeping under the Shelter, gjahced
down to see a shining-band of glod
lying on top of the ground at her
feet. The eldest daughter, Mrs. D.
J. Oliver, identified the ting from
the clear inscription inside.
Negro On Jury.
. Lenoir —Sam Forney of near Le
noir was drawn for jury duty in a
special panel drawn iu Caldwell
county Superior court for trial of
Ransom and Troy Keziah o n
charges of assault with intent to
commit rape, marking the. first Iimt-
in the history of the county that a
negro has been drawn for jury duty,
according to county officials.
Forney was placed at the boltoni
of the list of eligible jurors by a-
greement between counsel for the
state and the jury being completed
before his name was reached.
The special panel was Hrawn
when the regular jurors and spe

Another Big Flop!
(From Pathfinder)
Although Governor Whalen, pre
sident of the New York World’s
Fair Corporation, exultantly an-
nounced a few weeks ago that bis
exposition was practically "over the
top, developments last week ir.di
cited that this was anjithihg but the
case. Whereas a daily paid average
of 300.000 admissions is neccssary
for success the Fair has attracted
only about 135,003 paid daily. As a
result the Fair has made certain ad
mission price concessions, provided
bargain tickets and dismissed sever
al hundred of its, 7,000 employees,
in addition to decreeing a 10 per
cent cut in all executive salaries.
Too Much Work.
Things would come to a pretty pass
if farmers would call, a nation-wide
strike over hours and income. Tet,
at this writing, many. WPA workers
were threatening to quit their jobs
in protest over terms of the new
federal relief bills specifying that
they should work 130 hours a month
instead of from fifty to eighty for
substantially th e same monthly
wage. Working two and one-ha!f
times the proposed relief hour re
quirement, the Amerisan
goes on propucing and payiog taxes
to support those who feel that a real
day’s work is nn imposition too great
Profiteering.
Paul Leonard, addressing .the
Lumberton Merchants Association
the otber evening, reminded -the
merchrnts that the inevitable ad
vances in retail prices if the Euro
pean war continues “will make- a
bigger tax profiteer ou< of the State
of Notth Carolina than it can pos
sibly make out of the merchants,
because the State demands the first
cut of three per cent on the pur
chase price of merchandise.”
Mr. Leonard pointed out that
the tobacco growers anr others who
must sell their products at lower
prices tor merchandise, become vtbe
special tax victims of the State be
cause of the three per cent levy, as
do also the workers in the low-^age
bracket whose taxes increase as the
prices of merchandise increase. And
then he hits straight out with this:
“No matter what hardships it
may bring to those of us who feel
the pinch of higher prices of our
daily needs in food, fuel and raim
ent, you will find the tax-spenders
and tax eaters in Raleigh rejoicing
the eff-cts of high prices when they
are n fleeted in increased sales taxAl Icollections, just as there was re
joicing on one occasion when sales
tax collections increased in Greens-
W o due to extra purchases made
by victims' ot a tornado which de
stroyed a million dollars worth of
properly which bad to be replaced,”
As Paul finHres it out, there is
pot much rea>o>i for the State lobe
concerned about high prices. The
higher they go, the' bigger the piie
of dollars to be. raked into the
State’s till. And measured hy that
plausible attitude, we all ought to
thank heaven there is no national
sa<es tax, else ihe federal govern
ment miebt not now lie taking steps
in the public 1 interest, preferring to
watch the rising flood of dollars in
to its coffers.
Of course if commodi'y prices gfet
entirely out of band and thus en
ables the State to make a killing
far beyond the antic ipated income,
maybe some candidate for the gov
ernorship would hew himself a
plank for his platform that would
declare for the repeal of the sales
tax on the ground that ‘ emergen
cy” which gave it birth—no long
er exist1!.—Statesville Dai'y.

many of us hate to take it. Now you

B y LEMUEL F. PARTON
N EW YORK.—If this means “the
end of civilization,” it might be
better just to hand Herr Hitler the
works now, accept a slave state,
................ save a lot ofCwilizattonW tU Hves, pick up
N ot Be Ended the goose-step
B y a M adm an and hoPa .for' s o m e future
Spartacus to lead us into a return
engagement. The phrase, “the con
temporaneousness of the past,” is,
I believe, Dr. Charles Beard’s.
Along with Dr. Beard’s book, “The
Rise of American Civilization,” it
has reminded this onlooker that no
madman ever has wrecked the
world and that the creative and hu
mane spirit has never failed. His
tory did not sustain Lord Grey when,
in 1914, he said, “The lights of the
world have gone out, and I doubt if
they ever will be lit in our lifetime.”
In the spirit of these mediations,
this department will, in the forth
coming dark days, keep a sharp eye
out for lamplighters, men of creative
intelligence, and their names will be
carried on this mast-head whenever
possible. .
Far a start, here’s Eduard
Benes, former president of
Czecho-Slovakia, an old story in
personality columns, bnt news
today as a wise, cabin spirit in a
world of howling demagogues.
The belch of the guns in Poland
was answered almost to the min
ute by his book, “Democracy
Today and Tomorrow.” Here is
what he says about “the end of
civilization” :
“We hear very often the slogan
that war or revolution in Europe will
mean the end of human civilization.
That is a mistake. Modem civiliza-
. . t:on cannot be
Human Spirit destroyed. One
Will Continue can destroy in
Creative W ork °"e eountry’through war or
revolution, some of the remarkable
monuments of human culture and
civilization, ancient and modern;
but the present organization of the
world does not allow anybody to de
stroy human civilization. Human
civilization is, first of all, -the moral
conception of modern mankind, al
though including, of course, all eco
nomic values, all achievements of
technological progress, all great
cultural monuments, buildings, cit
ies, universities, libraries, museums
of art and science; many of them
are of inestimable value, and could,
of course, be destroyed in a great
catastrophe. And that would be a
loss which could never be replaced.
But that does not mean the destruc
tion of human civilization. The hu
man spirit, in its great creative pow
er, having saved in innumerable
places the results of modern science,
technology and progress—material
and moral—will continue in any
case its great creative work.”
There is no bland optimism in Mr.
Benes’ book. He invokes no easy
formulas and sees salvation only in
the collective work and intelligence
of men of good will—in desperate
endeavors, perhaps,. but sure to win
in the end because they always
have. -
At another moment of tension;
when the “end of civilization’’
seemed near, I remember talking to
the great Dr. Masaryk, Mr. Benes*
intellectual and political mentor. He
curtly refused to discuss the par
ticularized rights and aspirations of
Czecho-Slovakia.

Foods Men Like to Eat
What are the foods that Father
likes best—the fine, old-fashioned
dishes—tasty, full of flavor, and per
fectly cooked! He likes a meal to
be composed of only a few foods;
he wants to know what he is eating,
and he does not want foods swathed
in a blanket of whipped cream. In
a word, fancy cooking is apt to be
wasted on Father but he’ll appreci
ate good cooking to the limit.
Left to his own devices, many a
man would choose a diet of meat,
potatoes, and pie. They’re not par
ticularly fond of vegetables—these
men of ours—and when it comes to
salads, it’s a sheer waste of energy
to serve them anything fancy. So

UNDAYICHOOL Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. 0. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for October I
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and- copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission.
THE INFANCY’OF JESIJS
LESSON TEXT-Matthew 2:13-23. GOLDEN TEXT—And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.—Matthew 1:23.
Looking forward to an experience
in life which promises to be both in
teresting and profitable always
brings a glow of expectation. Some
thing of that spirit should pervade
the Bible schools of our land as
they begin a six-months study in the
Gospel of Matthew.
Consideration of our Lord’s life
properly starts with the story of His
birth, but we reserve that for our
Christmas lesson. Today we stress
the manner in which-the Child Je
sus was received into the world.
Men then as now, were either for
Him or against Him. God had only
one attitude, that of loving protec
tion and preparation of His Son for
His ministry.
I. Christ in the World of Men.
The world of today is far differ
ent from that of the first century,
but the difference is all on the out
side. Almost breath taking have
been the developments of modern
civilization, but these have not
changed the heart of man. He still
fears and hates and fights and sins.
His attitude toward Christ is un
changed. There are still only two
classes of people in the world—those
who have received Christ and are
saved, and those who have rejected
Him and are lost.
1. Against Christ.
How do men show their rejection
of God’s Son? Just as they did at
His birth, by: a. Fear. Herod was
afraid lest the coming of this one
should result in the loss of his ill-
gotten gains. His anger and fear
made all Jerusalem afraid, b. In
difference. When the Wise Men
asked where Christ was to be born,
the priests and scribes knew exactly
where to find the facts in the Holy
Scriptures, but having done so, they
relapsed into utter indifference.
They had no interest in the fulfill
ment of the prophecy, c. Hatred.
Herod poured out the violence of his
heart by killing the first-born. He
was the first of many who have raged
against the Christ in futile anger,
d. Sorrow. The tears of the mothers
of Jerusalem but foreshadowed the
weeping and wailing which charac
terizes Christ-rejection both in time
and eternity.
2. For Christ.
Thanks be to God, there were
those in that day who were for Christ
and, like those who follow Him to
day, they showed: a. Spirituality.
Men have marveled that the Magi
knew of the birth of Christ. They
must have studied the prophecies of
the Word and been responsive to the
teaching and moving of'the Holy
Spirit. Can we say as much for
ourselves? b. Interest. Not content
to. know and to marvel,, they shamed
the priests of Israel by foeir per
sistent interest in this great thing
which had come to pass. c. Love,
They brought themselves in worship
and they brought rich gifts from
their treasures. You can give with
out loving, but you cannot love with
out giving. d. Action. They came.
They persisted until they found the
Christ. Theii they listened to God
and protected His Son by not re
turning to Herod.
H. Christ in God’s World.
Men had brought sin and ruin into
the world. They had rejected His
Son, but God still'ruled and we see
Him protecting, preparing, and ful
filling prophecy through His Son.
I. Protecting. Men may hate and
seek to destroy God’s Son. Satan
may inspire them with ingenuity and
cunning, but see how the Eternal
One speaks to Joseph in dreams,
how He prepares a place of refuge
in Egypt and ultimately in Naza
reth, where the boy Jesus may in
crease in wisdom and stature and
favor with God and man.
2. Preparing. God knows of the
days of. public ministry which are
ahead and above all, of that day
when on Golgotha's hill Christ was,
in His own body, to prepare salva
tion for you and for me. God is not
taken by surprise. He moves for
ward to the completion of His plan
with the stately tread of eternity.
3. Fulfilling. God also sees to it
that prophecy is fulfilled. We read
in verses 15 and 23, "that it might
be fulfilled” and in verse 17, “then
was fulfilled.” God’s Word is always
sure, for He makes it so. His in
finite and eternal faithfulness guar
antees the fulfillment of every proph
ecy, yes, and of every promise of
His Holy Word.
Progress of MenHnd
'In my youth, looking at this man
and that, I marvelled that humanity
had made so little progress. Now,
looking at man in the multitude, I
marvel that they have advanced so
far.—George Gissing.
No Love Without Service
Tt is as impossible for love to
thrive without service as for a
plant to grow without soil. Love
feeds on what we give, not on what
we get.

did get first place in the elimi
nations for her part of the coun

got to Hollywood.
But she lost out there, and was
all set to go home. The story goes
that Gregory La Cava, the ace pro-

across the RKO-Radio lot, and asked
her to take a screen test. She did,
so sure that nothing would come of
it that she even told him that she
didn’t like the script provided for
her, and he let her write her own.
And—she was given the second

Major Bowes and his staff looked
forward to-a let-up in the number
of amateurs they’d be auditioning
during the summer months, but in
stead of diminishing the number of
’ Major Bowes
applicants increased. They lay it
to the New York World’s fair—it
seemed as if most of the people who
went to New York for the fair didn’t
care so much about seeing it as they
did about trying to land on the
“Original Amateur Hour.”
The arrival of cooler weather
hasn’t lessened the number of ap
plicants—and auditions continue, at
the rate of 600 per week.
It’s Clayton Moore who’s to have
the lead in “South of Pago Pago,”
after all. He’s a newcomer to the
screen; but has the athletic back
ground which seems to be the main
requirement for the role. Moore
hails from Chicago, where he was
inter-city swimmer, pole vauiter;
basketball player, boxer, and prac
tically everything but a ping pong
champion, apparently.
Paul Laval, the orchestra leader,
collects batons used by celebrated
conductors. He has 71, formerly
the property of such famous leaders
as Toscanini, Bruno Walter and
Mascagni. But they’re to have, not
to hold—when he’s conducting an
orchestra he doesn’t bother with a
baton, just uses his hands.
There seems to be something
about Being on the radio that makes
a man want to drive the oldest car
he can get his hands on.
Jerry Mason, who is “Sr. Blodg
ett” in "The Life and Love of Dr.
Susan,” has one that first saw the
light of day in 1930. He arrived at
rehearsal the other day all out of
breath—his car had broken down
and had to be towed to a garage,
the first time that had happened,
and he’d driven it 85,000 miles. “I
knew it wouldn’t last,” he remarked
sadly.
And\James Melton drives around
Connecticut, where he lives in sum

Mr. Tobacco Farmer. Tobacco Meeting.
We are confronted with what I be-1 A number of Davie tobacco farmers, to-
lieve to be the greatest crisis in the ,Oether with a few business men, met at
history of tobacco fam ine in Davie tbe coun houee Friday evening to bear J. c u u ..„ „ „ „ Jft Alvio Propst, field agent of the A. A. A.county. What are we going to do
about it?
Some time between now and tbe 7th
of October we are going to be given
and County Agent Renkin discuss the to
bacco situation.
Tbe meeting was opened by Me. Rankin,
who introduced Mr. Propst, who spoke for
a chance to go to tbe poles and vote j 40 minutes, discussing tbe situation that
on this issue. Do we control the, confronts the tobacco growers throughout
production of tobacco in 1940. or do s the south. Mr. Propsl made it clear that
The Record reaches the farmers
in Davie and adjoining counties,and
the merchants who want to reach
the farmers, the best people in the
world, have learned long ago that
an ad in this paper brings results.
The young democrats had a
glorious meeting in Charlotte re
cently. They met and adjourned
without indorsing Mr. Roosevelt
for a third term, although they did
go on record as indorsing his ad
ministration.
We wish to thank the gentleman
(?) who went to Salisbury and told
a cettain big corporation just how
many subscribers we had. Our
books at e open to all our advertisers
who care to see them. We are not
carrying liquor, wine or beer ad
vertising, begging our subscribers
to drink more intoxicating drinks
so that this couutry can balance
the budget.
Up to this time there are are a-
bout half a dozen men who are
hoping to be nominated for gover
nor on the democratic ticket next
■June. We are wondering if Gov
ernor Clyde Hdey will decide that
the democrats should run him
for a second term. This is not
■ customarv, but neither is it a cus
tom to indorse a man for a third
term for president, or to change
■ the date of Thanksgiving.
Parking space on Saturday nights
In this town has become a serious
proposition. Seems like it would
be to the interest of the merchants
aid business men to leave their cars
at home or in tbe residential dis
tricts so the out-of-town pet pie who
come to town to shop or attend tbe
theatre, could find a parking place
in reasonable distance of the square.
This is just a suggestion and no
doubt we will get a cussing for tbe
suggestion.___________
In the deatb of Rufus A. Shore
which occurred at his borne in
Winston-Salem last Tuesday, the
editor of The Record loses a warm
friend of many years standing. We
hive known Mr. Shore for more
than ,10 years, and we shall miss
his hearty handshake and pleasant
greeting. For many years he was
connected with the Twin-City Sen
tinel and Winston Salem Journal.
Ia bis death the city of Winsfon
Salem and tbe entire state has lost
one of its be.t known and most be.
loved citizens. We could write
many things about Mr. Shore but
the greatest thing we can, say is
that he was a consecrated Chris
tian gentleman who loved his fel-
Io tv-mau, and who took delight in
serving his Lord and Master. He
has been called to that better land,
where there is no sickness, sorrow
and suffering.
The poor Ifarmers seems to get it
g iing and coming. When he grows
tobacco the warehouses take a holi
day. When he grows a big crop
of cotton tbe price is so low that
he hasn’t anything left after pay
ing his fertilizer and other bills.
He plants his bottom lands in' corn
and a flood comes alonj and wash
es it awav. A hail storm damages
bis up-land crops and the bean
' beetle proceeds to eat up his beans,
and tbe dry weather and potato
bugs destroys his potato crop,
When eggs are high bis hens re
fuse to lay, and when they are
cieap some of them lay two eggs

to contend with, but he never gives
up. We should all take the farmer
by tbe hand and stand by him
whatever trouble may befall, for he
Is the.hackbone of the land—the
man who feeds us all. The next
time you hear a little two-by-four
politician making any remarks a.
bout the tillers of the soil, just haul
away and knock him into the mid
die of week after next,
we go on and plant all we please?
Mr. Tobacco Farmer, I consider this
election the most vital election that
we have ever been given the privi
lege of voting in. It means more in
■dollars and cents to you than any
thing that has come out of tbe AAA.
Are we going out and vote, or are
we going to stay at home as we have
done in the past? Last year we stay
ed at home and let the people who
grow tobacco for money and not for
a living, go to the polls and defeat
the control program. What happen
ed? There was an increase in acre
age of approximately 45 per cent,
over the entire flue cured belt, re
sulting in the largest productions
ever known. We did not do this in
Davie county. The increase was very
small. What does tbat mean to us?
We are going on the market with
our share of the tobacco that all of
the officials of tbe AAA and the man
ufacturers say that they could have
handled at a reasonable price, but
are we going to get a reasonable
price? No. Why? Because the man
who haB increased his production has
buiit up the supply to a figure so
much greater than the demand that
tobacco is cheap. Don’t let us be
too optomistic about the prices be
cause we have not been on tbe mar
ket yet. Youfellowswhogrow re
ally good tobacco know who buys it.
The Iirperial and export people.
They are not there now and prob
ably won’t be any more this season.
Who is going to buy those fancy cut
ters, wrappers and lugs. Oh, yes,
there will be some one there who
will take them, but at what price?
the Government dlda't close the ware
houses and therefore could not open them.
The bouses were closed by the sales com
mittee of the tobacco Association of tbe
United States. The warehouses will not
open until after the election is held on
tobacco control, which will be within the
next week or ten days.
The markets were closed on account of
foreign buyers being withdarwn from our
markets. About 35 per cent, of our to
bacco is bought by Great Britain, and our
total exports amounted to about 64 per
cent, of our total production. Foreign buy
ers will not Come back this year on ac
count of war and high freight rates. Great
Britain has enuughjtobacco on hand to last
for two years. Tbe Government is willing
to spend around $40,000,000 in buying t 0‘
bacco and storing it until it can be sold to
foreign markets. If control doesn't carry,
chances are slim that the markets will
open this year. If the controi election
carries, not more than 30 per cent reduc
tion from the 1939 allotment will be ask
ed. which was more than one billion
pounds, except farmers who grew tobacco
for the first time in 1939. Such farmers
will be allotted one-fiftb of the amount
they grew this year, in 1940. A small al
lotment will be allowed for farmers who
had no tobacco this year.
After Mr. Propst concluded his speech
several of those present expressed tbeir
ideas on tbe situation. Theopinion among
those present was that they should vote
for control in the election to be held soon.
The President Speaks.
President Roosevelt delivered a 30-
minute address to the Congress of
the United States, which he called
in extraordinary session last Thurs
day. His speech was well received
by the American people. The theme
of bis address was that this country

AU of us fellows know what kind of .should stay out
tobacco the Imperial buyars take— jgress should repeal the arms embar-
35 per cent, of the entire crop and j go clause of the neutrality law which
the best 35 per cent, at that. We a democratic Congress passed in
can’t expect a fair price for this
crop, but for goodness sake lets don’t
Ietthemanwhoraises tobacco for
money go right on next year and
pile up the surplus we now have on
hand while we stay on our small
farms and grow our share of the to
bacco that the world can consume at
a reasonable price.
The man who grows 3 acres or less
of tobacco will not be cut to amount
to anything and in no case will any.
one be more than 20 per cent, below
his 1938 allotment, and fellows, we
can sell all the tobacco we can make
on our alloted acreage if the election
goes in favor of control. These
quotas are on ACREAGE alone and
not pounds.
I have been working for you all as
County Committeeman since 1933
and I have done the best I could to
treat you all fair, I have made mis
takes for which I am sorry, but I can
assure you tbat it was in my head
and not in my heart. Now, you all
know that I haven’t come out in the
open and made a stand for any of
the A, A. A. issues prior to this be.
cause I was afraid to do so; I have
merely gone along with the program
and done the best I could to help the
farmere get the most benefit out of
it
The Federal government says that
if we will vote to reduce our acreage
in 1940 Ciat they will buy the 1939
tobacco that normally would be
bought by the export bnyers in order
to hold tbe price up as much as pos
sibie on this year’s crop. Tobacco
Farmer, I am making this plea to
you. Go out and vote for control of
the 1940 acreage of tobacco, or, we,
our wives, and children wifi in 1940
go to the' tobacco fields and compete
with the cheap tenant labor of tbe
East and South wnere on a 200 acre
farm there is not four or five acres
of good tobacco land, but 230' acres
of good tobacco land. We absolute
ly cannot compete with them and
lets don’t try,—lets control the pro
duction and get a fair price for what
little tobacco we do raise up here in
Daviecountv.-
There are going to be series of
meetings over the county, conducted
by Mr. Kankin and Mr. Rimery, to
go into detail on . this thing. Let’s
all go out to these meetings and have
a general discussion of the matter
and at least know where we stand be
fore we vote. J. C. JONES,..

ent signed when passed. Mr. Roose
velt said the Congress made a mis
take when it passed the law. and -hat
he made a mistake when he signed
the bill. The President insisted that
partisan politics be forgotten at this
time, and all unite in keeping this
country out of w ar.' He thinks we
should sell goods to the countries at
war, but that it should be a cash and
carry system—that Europe bring her
own ships over here, pay cash for the
goods they buy and assume all risks
in getting the goods to Europe. Tbe
President bIso- let the world know
that our ships must stay out of the

Becoming Designs
Smartly Individual
TF YOU take a large size, then
you’ll find 1806 one of the most
becoming dresses you ever put
on! The long, slim lines of the
paneled skirt make your hips look
much narrower, and the bodice
gathers give correct ease over the
bust. With its touch of lace, this
will be very smart for bridge par
ties, luncheons and club affairs.
Make it of flat crepe, thin wool
and, later on, sheer velvet.
Coat Style Dress. .
The “something different” about
this practical dress is the way the
closing is cut sharply over at the
waistline. The design (1681) gives
you plenty of lap-over, so that you
needn’t sew buttons and make
buttonholes all the way down. And
of course you don’t need to be
told how easy the coat style is to
make, to get into, and to iron.
The Patterns.
No. 1806 is designed for sizes 36,
38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50 and 52.
Size 38 requires 4% yards of 39-
inch material, with short sleeves;
4% yards with long sleeves; I
yard for vestee.
No. 1681 is designed for sizes 34,
36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 anjl 48. Size
36 requires 4% yards of 35-inch
material without nap; % yard con
trasting; 2% yards edging.

THE STORY THUS FAR
Captain Carl Norwood has been sent from his native England to the Kadur Rtver district in India, along with his indispensable manservant, Moses O’Leary,
soldier of fortune. Norwood's fob is to survey the district to determine whether a valuable secret diamond mine belongs to the temple priests or to the ruler, the Maharajah of Kadur. Norwood calls on the British Residency to pay his initial respects. On his way he catches a glimpse of two women In a palace
carriage, one of whom Is young and beautiful. The other woman he knows to be the Maharanee of Kadur. O’Leary Uter tells him that the young woman is an American girl named Lynn Harding, who with her aunt, Mrs. Deborah Harding, is a guest at the palace. On a sightseeing tour Mrs. Harding sprains an ankle,
and sends to the paUce for aid. Prince RundhIa1 handsome, spoiled nephew of the rulers, comes to her rescue, and Ukes her back to the palace where he meets Lynn. At a banquet that night U the palace, attended by Captain Norwood. Mrs. Harding Ukes one of the native doctor's pills, and becomes violently ill. She is placed in bed and arrangements are made for Lynn to move out of the quarters
with her aunt and stay with the Maharanee. That evening Prince Rundhia attempts U make love to Lynn. She is. unwilling to listen to him, and at the crucUl moment Norwood appears on the scene, much to Rundhia’s disgust O'Leary has located the secret entrance to the dUmond mine which is being worked by the temple priests. He Ukes Norwood to the mine, where death is narrowly averted
when a live cobra is thrown In Norwood’s face, hater Norwood visits the Brahmin priests, one of whom Slyhr slips a packet of diamonds In his pocket, unknown to Norwood. They are intended as a bribe. While Norwood is talking to Lynn the diamonds fall from his pocket. She notices them, and sees that he is surprised. Later, when Rundbia tries to make love to her, she mentions the diamonds in order U divert his mind. She realizes it was a mistake. Rundhia, though
chagrined by Lynn’s attitude, is elated to hear of the diamonds. He goes immediately to the British Residency, and tells the Resident of the diamonds.
CHAPTER VIII—Continued

“Rundhia, you are talking dan
gerously,” said the Resident.
“Yes. Whose danger? It would
smell sweet, wouldn’t it! I was rid
ing early this morning. I saw Nor
wood on his way to the river—over
heard him say that priests were
waiting for him near the river. And
I happen'to know he was down by
the river after midnight last night.
Now he carries diamonds in his
tunic pocket.”
“Have you seen them?”
“No.”
"Who did?”
“I am well informed about it.”
“Look here, Rundhia. You don’t
expect me, do you, to credit an un
supported charge, based on hear
say, against an officer who has a
perfectly clean record?”
“Would you prefer that I take my
information elsewhere? ”
“Who was your informant?”
“I refuse to tell you.”
The Resident rose from his chair:
“I hope the drive home won’t af
fect you disagreeably!”
Rundhia actually started for the
door. As he drew abreast, the Resi
dent said:
“Hello, I notice your nose is bleed
ing. Have you been in an acci
dent?”
“Ask Norwood!”
. “You mean to tell me—? Do you
know where Norwood is now?”
“At the palace, in conference, per
haps fishing for a larger bribe from
someone else.”
“Now, now, Rundhia! Who was
your informant about those dia
monds?”
“I might tell you in strict confi
dence.”
“I promise nothing. But I will
believe nothing unless you tell me
your informant’s name.”
“Between you and me, it was
Miss Lynn Harding.”
“How should she know?”
“She saw them. Norwood is in
love with her.”
“You know that?”
“Any fool could guess it. I think
Norwood casually let her see them
to impress her. He is mad about
her. Don’t quote me. It’s up to you
now.”
CHAPTER IZ
The Maharanee’s maid, who
changed Lynn’s frock, was one of
those who had been loaned to Aunty
Harding, because she knew English.
It was impossible not to believe that
the Maharanee already knew more
than the facts about Lynn’s break
with her aunt. The maid left the
bedroom. The Maharanee sat by
the veranda window, staring past
the edge of the sun-blind into the
garden. There was hardly a sound
except the purring of the two elec
tric fans.
Meanwhile, she smoked a ciga
rette and watched the Maharanee,
who seemed to Lynn to be consider
ing, not what to say, but how to say
what was crowding her thought.
“Maharanee dear, I wish you
wouldn’t feel so upset.”
“How you must despise us.”
“Please! I don’t. To go away
leaving you nihking anything as un
true as that would be dreadful. I
am not even angry with Rundhia.”
“I am more than angry with
him,” said the Maharanee. “I am
ashamed. Lynn, is it true—it has
been told to me—that Mrs. Harding
saw Rundhia kiss you in the gar
den?”
“Yes. That, too, was my fault.
I could have prevented it. I knew
Aunty was looking. I did it to annoy
her.”
“Not because you like Rundhia?”
“Oh, I like him. He is the hand
somest thing I have ever seen, and
amusing. I was playing with fire,
I Imew that.”
The Maharanee’s worried face re
laxed into a wise smile: “My dear,
you don’t know Rundhia if you think
he won’t-try it again! Unless—is it
true—it has been told to me—that
Mrs. Harding has decided not to
stay here any longer?”
“First train, and first steamer for
home,” Lynn answered. “Marching
orders. At the moment, it hurts
her to move and she can’t keep
Iood down. But the doctor can prob
ably fix that. And she’s brave. She
has an iron will. She told me to
pack my things.”
“And will you do it?”
“What in the world else can I
do? I haven’t a sous marquis to
my name. Aunty gives me pocket
money—no more.”
The Maharanee smiled: “Yes.
Lack of money can make even Run
dhia obey. But it is a limited pow
er. It can be broken."
“So I think. But it remains to be
seen,” Lynn answered.
“You are of age? You don’t look
it, but you are, are you not? If I
invite you to remain in the palace
as my guest, will you accept?"
“How can I?”
“It would give me very great
pleasure to provide you with more
than pocket money. I can easily in
vent a salaried position. You have
been such a comfort, such a joy to
me, that your companionship would
more than justify a requisition on
“Wen, perhaps I was mistaken.”
His Highness my husband’s excheq
uer. Is it true—it has been told to
me—that Mrs. Harding threatened
to—my informant did not clearly un
derstand—I think the word was dis
inherit?”
“Aunty has threatened that sev
eral times. Today I took her at her
word,” Lynn answered. “She will
pay my fare home. After that, I
go on my own way—earn a living. It
was final.”
“Can you legally be left without
money?”
"I suppose so.”
“You say you will earn a living.
How? What can.you do?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“For such a beautiful girl as you
are there is always marriage to look
forward to. Is Mrs. Harding not
afraid of what people may say if
she should leave you penniless until
you marry?”
“She isn’t afraid of people. Oth
er people are afraid of her. She
will simply say I was impossible.
But I won’t accept another cent
from her. Maharanee dear, you
can’t guess. Perhaps I’m as un
grateful and bad as she says. But
I know what I have had to endure.
No more humiliation from Aunty
Harding! I am through.”
“Lynn darling, say nothing until
you have thought. You haven’t had
time to think. And you are natural
ly prejudiced at the moment, even
though you are so magnanimous and
don’t admit it. . A greater magna
nimity than yours I have seldom
heard of. "Lynn, the offer of a throne
is not contemptible. Shall ! write a
note to Mrs. Harding saying you
have accepted my invitation to stay
with us?”
“Better let me tell her that,” said
Lynn. “Aunty would blow up. She
isn’t one bit pleasant when she’s
angry. Say you’ve invited me. How
would that be?”
The Maharajah bleated like an old
sheep. A lawyer in a black alpaca
brack coat droned interminable ar
guments. Documents were pro
duced. ' Expert witnesses commit
ted artfully evasive perjury. Nor
wood sat at the foot of the long ta
ble, looked, listened, and made end
less notes.
They weren’t half through by
lunch-time. They gave him tiffin in
the ‘palace, all by himself, in a si
lent room, where a clock ticked as
loud as fork against plate and he
caught himself eating in time to the
hypnotic beat, thinking of diamonds.
Curried mutton and rice. Whiskey
and soda. Sweet cakes. Fruit. Cof
fee. A cigar. And then back to the
Council room to listen to more argu
ments that were interrupted by the
arrival of Rundhia’s Bengali phy
sician, shepherding a servant who
carried a big blue goblet on a plate.
The Maharajah swallowed his ton
ic and immediately became less
nervous. Then he asked, in Eng
lish, presumably for Norwood’s ben
efit:
“How is Mrs. Harding?”
Norwood cared less than nothing
about Mrs. Harding’s feelings at the
moment, but he couldn’t help hear
ing the doctor’s answer:
“She is not welL But I cannot
persuade her to take medicine. She
is petulant—very.”
The Maharajah tried to seem in
credulous of any lady’s petulance:
“Convey my solicitude.”
Norwood managed to escape from
the conference soon after that. He
was away on the horse before the
sais woke up. He cantered to the
Residency, where he had to wait in
the office an exasperating fifteen
minutes, until the Resident could be
awakened from his afternoon snooze
and could get tubbed and come
downstairs.
“May I see you alone, sir?”
The Resident nodded. He didn’t
appear to enjoy the prospect. They
went into the darkened library, and
Norwood sat in the same chair that
Rundhia had occupied. He laid the
black paper package of diamonds on
the table:
“Take a look at those, sir. I
want to turn them over to you. I
would like to get a receipt, and to
make a statement in writing.”
The Resident opened the envelope
and poured the diamonds into his
hand. He made a wry face and
poured them back again:
“Nine?”
“I haven’t counted them."
“They look valuable. Where did
you get them?”
“I am not absolutely certain. I
think they must have been slipped
into my pocket, early this morning,
by one of the unofficial representa
tives of the temple authorities, who
met me by appointment, near the
waterfall.”
“What were you doing?”
“Inviting myself for a visit of in
spection of the mine. Thqy met me
to discuss it.”
.“And you say they dropped these
in your pocket?”
“I. believe so. It’s a pretty ob
vious attempt to bribe me to write
a report in their favor.”
“But they said nothing? Not even
a hint?”
"One of them, I remember, did
say he hoped my judgment wouldn’t
be affected by worthless arguments.
He rather dwelt on the word worth
less, but it made no special impres
sion on me at the time."
“Very well, Captain Norwood, I
will take your statement.” The Resi
dent glanced at his watch. “You’re
rather late with it. There seems to
me to be needed some explanation
when you called this morning.”
“I didn’t know, at that time, that
I had them in my pocket.”
The Resident’s face was expres
sionless: “You had better be sure
to include that in your statement.
It’s credible, of course, in view of
your record. But people might draw
inferences. Don’t you think so?”
“You suggest, sir?”
“Nothing. I am offering advice.
It might be inferred that you ac
cepted these diamonds and said
nothing about them until you
learned, let us say at the palace,
that someone knew about it; and
that then you hurried to me in a
rather belated attempt to establish
innocence. I am simply pointing out
to you what might be inferred if
you are not particularly careful.”
Norwood stared at the package of
diamonds. He thought a minute.
Then he looked straight in the Resi
dent’s eyes and spoke quite calmly:
“You appear to me to be hinting.
Had you heard about these before I
brought them to you?”
“Yes.”
“Who was your informant?”
“It was confidential.”
“You suspect, me of having ac
cepted a bribe?”
“I reserve my. opinion.”
“Very well, sir, you admit that
someone accused me. I want the
name of the informant. Otherwise
I demand my arrest and a court
martial.”
“Keep your temper. You have al
ready been reported to me for punch
ing someone’s nose.”
“Whose?”
“My informant’s nose was bleed
ing.”
“Very well, who was he? I have
punched no one’s nose. Someone
has been lying to you about me.
Surely I have the right to know who
he is.”
“Captain Norwood, on your word
of honor, are you telling the truth?”
“Yes.”
“Well, perhaps I was mistaken.
Perhaps I inferred it. I forget the
exact words. Prince Rundhia cer
tainly intended me to understand
that you had made his nose bleed.”
“Oh. So it was Rundhia. I won
der how the devil Rimdhia knew I
had those diamonds.”
“Well, did you call on Miss Hard
ing this morning?”
Norwood stared. He looked al
most as if he had been punched in
the jaw.
“Yes,” he said, after a moment.
“I called on Mrs. Harding to take
her a bottle of fresh iodine. Miss
Harding saw the diamonds when
they fell from my pocket.”
“Is it true that you have been
paying her a lot of attention?"
“No.”
“You have not had words with
Rundhia abput her?”
"Yes. I did tell Rundhia, last
night after midnight, that if anything
should happen to Lynn Harding, I
would hold him answerable.”
“Why should you have said that?”
“Because I like her. I suspected
Rundhia’s intentions.”
"Are you sure she is nice? Why
should she have told Rundhia?”
“I don’t believe she did. Rundhia
lied, if you ask me. Perhaps a serv
ant told him.”
“Just a moment, sir. This oc
curs to me. Is Rundhia exactly in
good standing?”
“No. Confidentially, speaking off
the record, I took a recent occasion
to warn him that one more indiscre
tion might endanger his succession
to the throne.”
“I suppose,” said Norwood, “it
would be a great deal easier, and
would cause a lot less trouble, to
veto him now than to have to de
pose him later oil after he had
come to the throne?”
“Why, yes,-certainly. Even the
right of veto isn’t anything we like
to- exercise. To depose a ruling
prince, after once having recognized
his right, to the throne—well, it has
been done. But it isn’t good policy,
if it can be avoided. You see, the
alternative to Rundhia is Jodha, who
is an invalid and likely to be child
less. We might be accused of de
posing Rundhia in order to grab
Kadur. No. If Rundhia should suc
ceed to the throne, his position
would be fairly secure.”

The “biggest rain” that might fall
on a river or creek watershed is one
of the things that engineers need to
Imow in building a dam for flood
control. This' hypothetical rain
must be at maximum intensity and
duration. The run-off from such a
rain determines the size of the
dam and—more especially—the size
of the spillway. Huge losses may
be avoided if the dam and spillway
are big enough to withstand any
flood that may develop. Huge sav
ings result when construction does
not exceed needs for which the dam
is built.
Rainfall records and hydromete
orological specialists of the United
States -weather bureau provide the
corps of engineers, United States
army, with essential information on
possible maximum precipitation
in a number of watersheds or basins
where flood-control projects are un
der way. The figures turned over
to the engineers by the river and
flood division of the weather bureau,
represent the maximum in rain
intensity and duration that may be
expected. The biggest rain that
may be expected would equal any
big rains-that have fallen, or might
fall, on the river basin in. question.
The Arkansas river basin above
Caddoa, Colo., where a dam is to
be built, is a good example. In
checking its records, the weather bu
reau considered all big rains in that
part of the United States and de
termined whether or not they might
have fallen on the upper Arkansas
watershed. The probability of a big
ger rain than the hypothetical rain
is a virtual impossibility, says'the
weather bureau.
The weather bureau has figures
on the maximum rainfall for other
such watersheds. Among them, the
Arkansas river basin above Caddoa,
Colo., the St. Francis river above
Wapapello, Mo., the White river
above the Mud Mountain damsite
in Washington, Wolf creek above
Fort Supply in Oklahoma, and Mill
creek in Cincinnati. It is planned
to make a similar study of all prin
cipal river basins in the country.
Something to Reflect On
It takes more than 12,000 workers
to make the plate glass mirrors sold
in this country every-year. This big
business pays $14,000,000 annually in
wages, buys $41,000,000 worth of raw
material-and sells mirrors-valued
at $88 ,000 ,000 .

Constipation Relief
That Also
Pepsin-izes Stomach
When constipation brings on acid indigestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with cer
tain undigested food and your bowels don’t
move. So you need both Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldwell's Laxative, because its
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won
derful stomach-relief, while the Laxative Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of
undigested protein food which may linger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin-
iring your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to relieve your constipation. So see
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Peprin to work on that stomach discomfort, too. Evmi fin
icky children -Ioye to taste this pleasant family IaxatiVg. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Lax-
