North Carolina, beer - drinkers when they blow the suds from their brew, have a deep sense of enjoy, ment up to when they plank down the cash for payment and find that their ten cent beer now costs them eleven or twelve cents, and their fifteeu-cent grade, maybe seventeen cents. It’s not that the increase upsets them, for a.penny or two doesn't matter in their young lives, but they bate like all forty for the beer merchant to explain that new taxes are responsible for the increase and consider them gullible enough to swallow it. Uncle Sam collects only about one-third of a cent p e r bottle through the new toll, and whatever over that the beer merchant collects he can call a rake-off, sbake-down, or what else have you. For if the entire tax is passed on to the dis tributor, and allowing for all the cost of collection and record keep ing, the additional cost of the re tailer wouldn’t amount to more than eleven cents per case of the twenty-four bottles. And so if the retailer sells 10 cent beer at 11 cents and i5-cent beer at 16 cents, he takes a war-time profit of 13 cents over and above what Uncle Sam has added to the cost. And when be adds two cent to each bottle, bis take is 37 a case over and above the defense tax. Bnt the retailer rightly argues that he can't collect only one-third of a cent on a single purchase, and he can’t collect only one.third of a cent on a single purchase, and he can’t afford to lose it He must tack on one cent or nothing. Of course that argument doesn’t go when be adds two cents per bottle as sume are doing, and while even this doubling up isn’t going to make anybody rich, the collective total runs into a pile of money. And beer is not alone ig this prac tice that borders on profiteering. Cigarettes and other items on which the new tax applies have been up. ped in price far more than the gov ernment calls for or gets, and when all are counted the consumer finds that in emergency be has paid for any army but has nothing but a corpal's guard to show for his mon ey. —Statesville Dailey. N avy E nlistm ent Q oota Is G reatly Increased. According to news received from the Navy Recruiting Station at Sa lisbury, an unlimited number of ap» plicants may be accepted for enlist ment in the Navy from this district immediately. The Navy recruiters, Mr. Sides and Mr. Brown, state that groups of accepted applicants leave for the Naval Training Station at Hampton Roads. Virginia, each week and those wishing to take advantage of this opportunity are urged to visit the Navy Recruiting office at once. To be eligible, a young man must be between the ages of 18 and 31. be of good character, be physically qualified aud have completed at least the 7th grade in school. The advantages of such an enlist ment are innumerable and will be explained in detail to those interest ed, either by writing or by a visit to the Navy Recruiting Station at Salis bury, H ot A nd Cold.

A Presidential prerogative, to wit: To make a terrifying speech to Congress disclosing how- easily Denver and Pittsburg could be de stroyed by bombers, and then a fireside chat In ten days assuring us that our defense was at the height of peace time strength and no one need worry.

America cannot buy its security ..it must make and earn it. ] However if the present schedule of : short hours are to be continued in .the United States we will find our selves In a worse predicament than ; was France when the German in vaded it. , President Roosevelt has set out on the proper footing to protect A- merica from the totalitarians but one thing be forgot and that was the job of doing the required work necessary to bring about ample se curity for this country. Labor and hard work are- the only manner in which this can be brought abont and not the spending of money a lone will do the job. While France and England were arguing about how much to pay labor an houi and how many hours labor should work, the Germans, Italians and Russians put on extra hours and brought about the pre sent sad condition that exists in the world today. England and France had the monev, Germany, Italy and Russia did the work. Let’s get off our high horses and go to work NOW. If the present labor conditions now existing in the country are allowed ,to continue we will accumulate more parasites, more slackers, njore labor problems, more interference in production, more undersirables, more of every thing that is detrimental to the country. Hard work by labor is the essent’al necessity of the day. Let’s admit the truth, we’re soft, we’re lazy, we’re afraid of hard work, we want everything without it, but today the awakening is near and we MUST realize the fact that in order to protect ourselves, our families, our loved ores, we must go to wo*k. Tbe day of reckoning is at hand whether we think so or not. Forty hours a week is not en ough time to allow America to get ready for her defense. W hy can’t we work 50 hours a week, which should increase production of the necessary defense equipment by at least 20 per cent more. Congress is now arguing about conscription, about calling tbe National Guard to our defense, yet we have done nothing about labor and the hours that are necessary to produce muni, tions, guns, airplanes, ships and other necessary defense equipment. . Airplane factories, ship yards, munition plants are now taxed be yond capacity, and if 20 per cent more time could be given the issue we would reach our goal in 20 per cent less time. Let’s look toward accomplishing this feat. If it ever was ueccessaty now is the time to do it.—Statesville Record. W hy N ot P raise V irtues? One of the traits of human beings is the habit of critizing others. Nearly every individual can find some fault with friends and rela tives. This is an art that is easy to of seeing good in others, Every, body has excellent qualities, re gardless of their faults, and it might better all around if we attempted 1 0 discover virtues rather than faults. Human nature being what it is there is a naturai. tendency to over estimate our own virtaes, which we know and take pride in, and to completely lose sight of similar vir tues in others, of which we know not. It is impossible, despite the' ma gicians, to look at an individual and read his mind, much less his soul. W by take the chance?—Ex. “ Our duty as an American and as a Democrat is perfectly dear. We shall support Wendell Willkie for President,” says Paul Jones, editor of the' Lyons (Kans.) Daily News, one of the great old Demo cratic dailies in K ansas—Ex C olonel K nox R em ains A R egular. It was an unavoidable suspicion that when President Roosevelt named two stalwart and steadfast Republicans, Knox and Stimson, as secretaries in his Cabinet, he may have hoped to alienate a large element of Republicans votes to his New Deal cause in this year’s Pre sidential campaign. - If the President bad any such lonrange hope in his mind or metfa od, it has gone awiy. He has even failed woo at least one of these ap pointees. Secretary Knox, principal owner of the influential Chicago Daily News, puts his out and-out endorse ment of Willkie on the front page of his newspaper, two columns wide. For the duration of his services in the President’s cabinet, Mr. Knox has named a three-man board to manage his newspaper’s inter est, but it is unthinkable, of course, that The News would have taken such a bold and emphatic stand of support for Willkie without his ini tiation and authority. Somewhat In this same connec tion is the significant circumstance that The Cleveland Plain Dealer has announced that it purposes to break a century-old tradition this year and back the Republican can didate for the Presidency. Another important shift from the status of 1936 occurs in the case of The Baltimore Sun which ardently supported Roosevelt in' 1932 , got on the fence in 1932 , got on the fence in 1936 because it was afraid of Roosevelt and couldn’t stomach Landonf but announce now its ad herance to the cause of W illkie.— Charlotte Observer.

The two great political parties of the United States have made their choice of Presidential candidates. Only Mr. Roosevelt can speak with full authority in defense of New Deal activities and purposes. And only Mr. Willkieamong the opposi tion has brought to bear on the New Deal, criticism which has been uni - formly pointed, intelligent, soundly reasoned, and based on philosohioal rather than partisan principles. There can no question but what the New Deal has vastly broadened the power of government over the people—over individuals and indus tries alike. That is the New Deal's basic philosophy—a centralized gov ernment in Washington, exerting its influence over almost every phase of life. Itis exactly this which Mr. Willkie oppose—a Jeffersonian in tradition, it is his thesis that the State is basically the enemy of iudi vidual freedom, and that tbe least possible government is the best gov ernment is the beBt possible govern ment for the governed. Next November the people will de termine whether the people will de termine whether or not the trend of the last eight years, with govern ment grown great and powerful and costly beyond all peace-time prece- nent, is to continue—or whether we are to return to the tradition of li beral. localized government and self- rule as envisioned by the founders of the nation. This is undoubtedly the greatest issue that most living voters have ever had to decide upon.—Ex. Landon Irritates A V ery Sore Spot. ! Erstwhile would-be President of the United States Alfred M, Landon, made a substantial bid for the nas tiest crack of the year when he de delivered himself thusly: : “President Roosevelt’s reelection depends to a great extent upon how many fraudulent votes can be cast by the Kelly-Nash machine in Chica go, the Hague machine in Jersey City and Boss Flynn’s machine in the Bronx. . .” Republican nominee Wendell L. Willkie who was si ting with Landon in a Colorado Springs press confer- “nodded agreement,” according te the Associated Press. The people all over the country who will also nod agreement num ber a great many admirers and sup porters of President Roosevelt as well. The three political machines men tioned by Landon have been so open ly criticized in recent months, and damned by such general impression of the politically conscious citizens the nation over is that decent gov ernment demands a cleanup in all three cases. Roosevelt supporters, of course, cannot agree that the President’s success depends upon these metro politan cnntrol-gangs to the extent which Landon hints; but there can i be no doubt that many of them feel I somewhat abashed that their idol is G.

If President Roosevelt is elected for a third term “the United States will be in tbe war before Christ mas,” said Mr Ferguson. He stated, that the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt as Democratic for the Presidency was "a good thing for us.” Pro British sentiment in tbe Unit ed States is “very strong,” be add ed’.

And one male Houghton is not much different from another, I guess. They’ve all been as proud as Lucifer and as stubborn as mules. Don’t you let that fret you. Whfen they love you, they love you for life and that’s not a bad fault in a husband. It’s talking that complicates things. That, and too much considering other people. I’ve got the seed-pearl necklace I promised John for his bride sewed into my feather bed. It won’t take long to rip out the stitches.” “You’re a darling.” Gay bent im pulsively and kissed the russet cheek as soft as moth wing beneath her lips. “John will bring me. I’ll come.” The old lady went with them to the door opening into the tiny hall. “Mind you shut the door tight, Debby,” she called after them. “Good-b'y, Gabriella.” “Good-by.” Gay turned to smile at John’s grandmother. The quizzi cal expression still narrowed Abi gail Houghton’s eyes, but her smile was steadfast and encouraging. Debby opened the outer door. They went down steps and along a shoveled path to a gate in the picket fence. The harbor lay be fore them, touched with the last re flection of the sunset. Why was it? Gay thought. A moment came that you knew you would always remem ber. This— The dove-gray house behind them muffled with snow, the harbor below, stippled with fading pink and gold. Nothing had hap pened. Why did her throat ache and quick tears sting beneath her eye lids? Why—? “Granny is a darling, isn’t she?” Debby asked as the gate clicked be hind them with a frosty snap and they walked, arms linked, along the cleared pavement between shoveled banks of snow. “Yes,” Gay replied. The ache in her throat was still there. She want ed John desperately, urgently, to be walking here beside her. His grandmother was right. They talked too much, she and John. It was dangerous to hurt each other with words. A lovely thing was spoiled if it was only a little marred. When he came tonight— “You aren’t going tomorrow, are you, Gay?” Debby asked, after a moment. “I think so. Yes.” “Well, I can’t blame you, I sup pose.” Debby's voice was desolate. “It’s dead enough here, goodness knows. I’ll miss you, though, terri bly.” “Will you?” Gay asked, drawn from introspection by the sincerity in the lovely young voice. “Why, especially, except to be polite?” “Because I like to look at you. You’re so beautiful. And I can talk to you. I can’t to anybody else, Mother or Sarah, and the girls I know are pretty small town. I’m different—” She gave an embar rassed laugh. “I guess all this sounds pretty silly to you.” “No, it doesn’t How old are you, Debby?” “Eighteen last month.” “How would you like to go back to New York with me?” Debby stopped, checking Gay’s progress, too, looked at Gay, speech less, her dark eyes wide and shin ing. “Why not?” It had been an im pulsive suggestion. But why not? She was an attractive youngster. It would be fun to take ber to New .York. “Why not?” Gay repeated. . Debby' exhaled her breath in a sharp explosion. "Gosh!” she ex claimed breathlessly. “Would you like to go, Debby?” “Would I?” “Come along.” Gay laughed and tugged at her arm. “We’re block ing traffic and probably getting frosted ears. Tlytre are your courses,” she went on consideringly as they resumed progress again. “But you could go to a good busi ness school or have a tutor. I'd like to have you. My mother and step-father are away a great deal, but the apartment is always there.” “Do you know what this means to me?” Debby asked seriously. “I’ve never been further than Boston in my life.” “I can imagine. Your eyes are popping out of your head. Do you think— Will your mother let you? Would she object?” “She’s got to let me,” Debby said passionately. “Nothing as impor tant as this has ever happened to me. Come on!” Clinging to Gay’s arm, pulling her forward, Debby took a series of skipping steps along the sidewalk. “Let’s hurry home and ask her!” Dusk was falling when they came in sight of the Houghton house. A car was parked at the curb. “That’s a taxi from the station,” Debby said, checking momentarily a stream of breathlessly eager ques tions, comments, observations. “Who in heck—? Oh!” she added as a slight man in a heavy over coat with a brief-case under his arm emerged from the car. "It’s Mr. SewalL He’s writing a book about clipper ships and comes out from Portland to see the papers and logs and diaries Mother has. Oh, dear! He’ll stay for supper and heaven knows how long afterward and I won’t have a chance to talk to Mother.” “Not for all the rice in China Not for all the bulls in Spain . . .” Debby’s voice, rising in contralto cadences above her improvised ac companiment on the yellowed keys of the square piano, brought to Gay’s mind the musical comedy for which the song Debby sang had been written. She, Gay, had gone with Tony Merrill. Todd, in the same party, had been very devoted to Julie Lelange, that evening, Ellen’s roommate at boarding school and home with her for the Christmas holidays. It was that evening she had decided, in her own mind, that she would m arry Todd. She re membered, not emotionally but quite accurately, the pluck it had given her heart to watch Todd fall under the spell of Julie’s soft dark eyes and Charleston accent, and the relief she’d felt when Todd, later, had confessed to her that the accent had palled and the magnolia blos som grown cloyingly sweet. Funny the things you remembered . . . “Not for all the beans in Boston Not for all the grapes in France . . .” Gay, leaning on the shelf of the piano, her elbows braced on ma hogany, cracked in a net-work of tiny lines, her chin in the palm of her hand, gave her attention to Deb by. The child was radiant tonight. The flush in her cheeks matched the deep dark red of the velveteen dress she wore. The . song came to an end. “Can I sing, Gay?” Debby asked, looking up with anxiety in the dark depths of her shining eyes. “I don’t believe you even listened.” Disap pointment clouded her face. “You kept looking at the clock and listen ing for John.” “I did listen Debby," Gay assured her. “I think your voice is very ap pealing.” “But can I sing?” Debby persist ed. “We’re not sure whether she has a voice,” Sarah said from the op posite side of the keyboard, “or whether she does it by black mag ic. A member of the Metropolitan Opera Company spent part of last summer out at the hotel and Debby managed to scrape an acquaint ance.” “Did you sing for her?” Gay asked. “Yes—” “What was her opinion?” “She said Debby hadn’t voice enough for opera,” Sarah said, “and that no amount of musical educa tion would eliminate the huskiness. It’s something about the formation of her vocal cords.” “I don’t care.” Debby ran a rip pling chord. “I don’t want to sing in opera. I don’t want the husky tones trained out of my voice.” “What do you want?" The pa tience in Sarah’s gentle voice inti mated to Gay that the question had been asked of Debby many times before. “You know. I’ve told you. I want to sing popular songs. On the radio or in a club. Do you think I could, Gay?” “Maybe— I don’t know,” Gay added, seeing Debby’s face bright en, not wanting to raise false hopes. “I have a friend who sings in a supper dub.” Sarah’s eyes, sherry-colored like her grandmother’s but with less vi vacity of expression, widened in sur prise not unmixed with shock, Gay thought. Debby gave a bounce on the piano bench. “Oh, have you?” she cried. “Will I—” She broke off and ran a se ries of noisy chords. “It's personality rather than voice which puts Enid across,” Gay went on, realizing that Debby had not spoken to Sarah of the possible visit in New York. "That and the fact smart club managers are fea turing debutantes this season. Deb by has personality—” “Rather too much at times.” Sar ah sighed, then smiled. “There’ll be no question of anything of the sort for some time, anyway,” she added. “Debby is too young to make independent plans.” “I’m eighteen!” Debby flashed an antagonistic glance at her sister. But her mood was too joyous to per mit her to bear a grudge. She played a few preliminary' chords, then sang again. The sultry hegroid minors of “The St. Louis Blues” moaned incongruously in the high- ceilinged'New England room, from the old-square piano where another Deborah Houghton had sat at twi light playing gentler tunes, her thoughts with her husband at sea. Through Debby’s singing, she heard a door open and glanced up expectantly, hoping that John had come. His mother entered the room Debby’s voice was silenced. Her hands dropped from the keyboard into her lap. She glanced quickly at Gay, then to her mother walking toward the piano. “John hasn’t come yet?” Ann Houghton asked with a glance at Gay. “Not yet, Mrs. Houghton.” “I hope nothing has happened.” Her brow cleared. “Mr. Sewall asked me to say good-night to you. He had only just time enough to make the train. Debby seems to have amused you adequately.” “Oh, very much,” Gay said quick ly. “She sings remarkably well.” “It’s an agreeable accomplish ment, though I can’t always recom mend her choice of songs.” John’s mother smiled and went to sit in the wing-chair beside the hearth. A U// n' 4 :■ 4 1; W k , / & I 0 ' Y ' / ii I They walked, arms linked, along the cleared pavement. Her hands reached instinctively to ward the knitting bag on the arm of the chair. Debby had been cor rect in her prediction, Gay thought. Ann Houghton looked subtly flat tered and pleased. There was a faint color in her cheeks. The dress of knitted silk she wore, dull amber in shade, was becoming. “Mr. Se- wall was delighted with the material I gave him,” she went on. “I let him take your great-grandfather’s diary. If anything happens to it—” “I should imagine that Mr. Sewall is trustworthy,” Sarah said. "Of course, but with things that could not be replaced—” She took the length of Snitting from the bag and her needles flashed in the fire light. “Mother—” Debby rose from the piano bench, stood, her hands ner vously clasped, irresolutely. “Yes, Debby?” Ann Houghton raised her eyes. “Mother!” Debby plunged across the room to the arm of her mother’s chair. “What is so important? Careful, dear. You’ll make me drop a stitch.” “Mother!” Debby burst out in a breathless jumble of words. “Moth er, Gay has invited me to go back to New York with her. May I please? I want to awfully.” Ann Houghton’s faint smile fad ed. Her eyes turned to Gay who came forward across the room. “I’d like to take her with me, Mrs. Houghton," she said. "That’s impossible. No, dear. It’s very kind of Gay to suggest it, but it’s quite impossible.” “Why is it?” Debby’s color deep ened. Gay saw her hands knot into fists as John’s hands did when his fighting instinct was aroused. ' “Well, there are your courses for one thing,” Ann Houghton said even ly. “You were very eager to take them. You can’t very well stop—” “But Mother,” Debby interrupted, “Gay says I can go to a business school or have a tutor.” “We couldn’t afford that, Debby.” “But I should like to do it for—” Gay began, then stopped short, checked by the expression which bad settled over Ann Houghton’s face. . “No, my dear,” she said, still evenly, holding her off, Gay thought, by the reasonable friendliness of her tone. “That’s very generous of you, but I think Debby is better off at home.” “But Mother, why?” “We needn’t go into that, Debby.” "Yes, we will!” Debby slipped off the arm of her mother’s chair, stood with her hands clenched into fists, her head defiantly lifted. “It’s be cause you’re afraid to let one of us get out of your sight for fear we’ll have an idea you didn’t put into our heads.” “Debby!” Sarah cried in soft pro test. “It’s true. You know it is. You want to do everything for us so that people will say what a wonderful Mother you are. You are. You have been, but I want to go some where and see something. Oh Mother, I am sorry!” Debby dropped down on the arm of the chair again. “But can’t you see—” “I see that my judgment is cor rect.” Ann Houghton’s eyes re mained fixed upon the needles. “You are far too emotional to be trusted away from home.” “I’m not. I’m not really. It’s only you who makes me that way. Gay wants me to go with her. Oh Mother, can’t I? I never wanted anything so much.” “You’re acting like a child, De borah.” Color burned deeper in Ann Houghton’s cheeks. Her voice con tinued to pronounce words evenly with maintained control but Gay saw that her hands clasped over the knit ting in her lap trembled. “I thought you had outgrown tantrums. You’re being inconsiderate as well as un- pardonably rude. This can’t be very pleasant for Gay.” “Oh, I guess Gay knows. I guess she’s seen. You know there’s no reason, Mother, except that you’re afraid, except that you disap prove—” “Debby, hush! Come with me!” Sarah crossed the room, laid her hand on her sister’s arm. Her face was white. Her eyes, wide and-star- tled, met Gay’s in fleeting apology, then turned away. “You don’t know what you’re saying.” “I do know!” Debby wrenched away from Sarah’s hand. She stood facing her mother, frightened but defiant. “This is why I wouldn’t go to college. I wouldn’t let you make sacrifices to send > me. You wanted to so that you could keep me tied here, grateful to you, nqt able to do anything that I wanted. You did that with Sarah and John. Sarah wanted to go abroad with Mrs. TrumbulL You knew she did and that it would have been wonderful for her. But she had to teach here in the high school to repay you for the sacrifices you’d made. You don’t want John—” “Deborah, go to your room. When John comes, I’ll ask him to give you a sedative. You’re ill. You aren’t yourself.” “I am myself!" Debby’s voice rose hysterically. “I’ve been want ing to tell you—” Defiance suddenly crumpled. Debby’s head drooped. Her tips quivered forlornly, tike a child’s. “Oh, what’s the use.” She gave a strangled sob and turned toward the door. (TO BE CONTINUED) Women Flying Students Leara Easier Then Men A blue-eyed slip of a girl, who teaches flying to six-foot engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic institute in Troy, N. Y., believes it’s safer to teach women students. "They are more willing to do as they are told,” according to Miss Barbara Kibbee1 25-year-old, IHM pound Civil Aeronautics authority' flight instructor. Despite their fear of the air, Miss Kibbee said, average women “know they know nothing about flying, or mechanics, or engineering or phys ics,” and are consequently easy to teach. “On the other hand,” she contin ued, “I find that some men think they know how things should be done and sometimes are not as ready to follow instructions. This is particularly true of middle-aged men, who have been successful in business and who as executives have become accustoned to giving rather than taking orders.” Miss Kibbee, one of the few wom en flight instructors in the country, was already a licensed commercial pilot and instructor before her ap pointment to Rensselaer’s pilot training program. “I haven’t found that my sex handicaps me as an instructor,” slia said. “Some men at first question the idea of being taught to fly by s slender little woman, but after the first flight "all this changes. If they see she knows her business mid has as much nerve as they have that’s all there is to it,”------ y O U can’t just wear any old slip * and expect your small-waisted frocks to have the smooth, suave, round-bosomed tine they should have. Here’s a design (1892-B) especially planned to do its part toward figure-flattery, and to fit as only a slip you make to your measure can fit. The top has bosom gathers to give you a tittle extra fullness. The waistline is dart-fitted so that it melts into your middle just beautifully. These are simple details, very easy to do, but they make all the difference in the fit of your slip, and therefore in the fit of your frocks. There are seven easy steps in your detailed sew chart. Make yourself a whole wardrobe of slips like this, light and dark, of satin, lingerie crepe or taffeta, and some batistes and linens for your coming cottons. Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1892-B is designed for sizes 14, 16, 18, 20; 40 and 42. Corresponding bust measurements 32, 34, 36,38,40 and 42.

Party Symbols As the foremost cartoonist of his time, Thomas Nast is generally recognized by researchers as the man who introduced the donkey and elephant as symbols, respec tively, of the Democratic and Re publican parties. •*Although the donkey was used occasionally to lampoon Democrats in Andrew Jackson’s day, it apparently did not acquire national status as a symbol until Nast drew it in a political cartoon in Harper’s Weekly in 1870. He did not intro duce the Republican elephant un til 1874. In both cases, he meant the symbols to be uncomplimentary —the donkey was supposed to rep resent Democratic stubbornness and stupidity, while the elephant was supposed to represent Repub lican clumsiness and timidity.— Pathfinder.

C.. as Second-class Mail 'natter, March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: OtJE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE S Had a great evangelist been prea ching in the court house last week we doubt if he would have had as large an audience as was present for the rape case which was being tried. It seems tike the world is headed for the devil with a down hill pull. President Roosevelt says he is too busv too meet Mr. Willkie in a joint debate. The president says he is too busv looking over our de fense bases. Seems that be could appoint some one who knew some, thing about defenses to do this work while he told the voters what he would do it elected for a third term. If you want to keep up with the wine and beer ads, the dances and card parties, we would advise you not to take Tbe Record. There are Plenty of papers that will keep you posted on what kind Ot beer and wine yon should drink, where you can find a dance hall and many other things. There is one merchant in Mocks, ville that has never used a line of advertising in The Record, and doesu’t eveu subscribe to this rag of freedom. There are also hundreds of good RepubIicansandDemocrats who do not spend much if any money, with some folks whose' names never appear in this paper. The Gallop poll shows that Will- kie is still leading Roosevelt in the presidential race. Tbe margin is verv narrow—less than 50 elector al votes seperating the two presi dential candidates. With the elec tioD two months away, almost any. thing can happen. From present indications it is going to be a close race Senator Chas. L. McNary, of ,Oregon, has accepted the Republi can nomination for Vice-President. His acceptance speech was made last Tuesdav night before an audi ence of about 70,000 people in Sal em, Oregon His speech was car. ried over a radio network, and no doubt several million people heard him. The campaign can now get in full swing. We have come to the conclusion that Wendell Willk’e must be a pretty good fellow. This conclu sion was brought about after read ing wbat Cam Morrison had to say about Mr. Willkie. What Cam is for we are against. We have known and read of this Cara for the past 40 years, and up to now we don’t remember him ever being on the rigut side or any question. One of our subscribers wants to know who is “ Lucky" Moore. Mr. Moo e is a well known Mocksville citizen who is running for tbe leg islature against attorney Brewster Grant. Mr Moore is one of the best checker pbyers-in town, and doesn’t read Republican newspapers so far as we know. He is to be found frequentlv playing checkers with Republicans in tbe court house. He doesn't take The Record, but we will bet dollars 1 0 doughnuts that he reads this little pleasantry. Some, of tbe New Deal newspa. pers are saying that Theodore Rooeveli ran for a third term' for president, therefore it is all right for Franklin Delano to run for a third term. This is a mistake. Theodore Roosevelt didn’t run for a third term. He was elected for a four year term, and tan again for a second term but was defeated by Woodrow Wilson. He served out the unexpired term of William Mc Kinley. FTanklin Roosevelt is the onlv man wbo ever made a fight for a third term nomination. }ust wbat the American people think of a man who will break a precedent of a 150 years standing, will be found out on Nov. 5th. News dispatches from Raleigh say that some of the New Dealers in Forsyth county are mad be cause leading Democrats in that county have deserted Roosevelt and are going to vote a National Repub lican ticket and a state and county democratic ticket To get even with them some of the New Deal ers in Forsyth are going to vote the National Democratic ticket and support the State and county Re publican ticket. Seems that poli tics make strange bed fellows. Judge AUen G w yn. Judge Allen Gwyn, of Reidsviile1 ptesided over the August term of Davie Superior -court last week. This was Judge Gwvn’s first court in Davie since being elected to the bench. Judge Gwyn made many friends while here. He is a courte ous high-toned gentleman and runs the court in an orderly manner.

Courses in home economics, chem istry, and occupational information will be added to the Farmington High School curriculum this year. AU high school pupils will be per mitted to take home economics if they so deeire, but the classes in chemistry and occupational informa tion wiil be offered only to -juniors and seniors. Miss Mary Nicholswill teach chemistry, and Miss Mary Chilson, the home economics teach er, will teach the course in occupa tional information. This year, for tbe first time, tbe eighth grade social science and Eng lish classes will be co-ordinated. This idea of integration is being carried out in tbe better high schools of the country, and it will probably be ex tended into the other high school grades of the Farmington school next year. Miss Frankie Craven will have charge of this work. NEW BOOKS ADDED. Mrs. Elizabeth Williard, High School Librarian, is busy catalogu ing many new books which have been added to the library. Some of the volumes are recent ones and are being added to the jibrary for the first time, while others will replace worn out copies. Mrs. Williard hopes to be able to give the high school pupils better library service this year than ever. SCHOOL FACULTY. The faculty for tbe coming year is composed of the following: G. R. Madison.

Davie County Superior court ad ionrned about one o'clock Sunday sfternoon, following one of the long est sessions in 40 years. The court convened at 10 o’clock Monday morning, Aug. 26th, with Judge Alien Gwvn. of ReidBvilIe, on the bench, and Solicitor Avalon E. Hall, of Yadkinville, prosecuting. A number of divorce and other cas es were disposed of the first day. A venire of 100 men were summon ed to appear here on Tuesday from which 13 men were selected to sit on a jury during the trial of Ernest Myers and Uriah Wyatt, of Winston- Salem. charged with criminal as sault on Miss Johnnie Hunter, also of Winston Salem. The crime was said to have taken place in a cabin on the Lybrook farm in Davie coun ty. Most of the afternoon and even ing was spent in selecting the fol< lowing 13 jurors: Charlie Black welder, George R, Hendricks, Wade W. Smith, Ted Daywalt, Vestal Gobi ble, Arthur Daywalt, Major Beau- champ, J. E. McDaniel, Roy Wil liams. W alter Barney, Charlie Barn< hardt, Jesse HutchenB, Joe Allen. The trial got under way Wednes day morning and continued until Saturday at noon, when all the evi dence was in. It is said that about 109 witnesses were summoned for the trial. Saturday af ernoon and evening was spent in hearing the ar guments of council on both sides. Solicitor Hall and Attorney Burr C Brock appeared for the state, while Attorneys A. T. and J. B. Grant and Roy Deal appeared for W yatt and Myers At 9:30 o'clock Sunday morn ing court convened and Judge Allen Gwyn proceeded to charge the jury. After deliberating for about one hour the jury brought in a verdict of acquittal, and Judge Gwyn order ed the men released from custody. They had been in jail here since the 16tbofJuly, without privilege of bond, on charges of having crimi nally assoulted Miss Johnnie Hunt er. of WinBton-SaIem. For six days the court room was packed and jammed with sweating humanity—young girls and boys, men and women of all ages, includ ing grey and bald heads. The trial was a sordid affair, but as one fellow said, full of thrills Nosuch crowds have packed tbe court house since the John Henry Hauser murder trial many years ago. Just bow much this case cost the taxpayers of Daw ie county, we can’t say. It is hoped that this county will not again have such a trial as the one that came to a dose Sunday afternoon.

M ay V ote B onds, j The city fathers met last night. to discuss a bond election for Mocksville, and thev were expect ing to set tbe date for election. A bond issue of $40,000 is pro posed to give the town an enlarged water and sewer system. Mayor CaudelI says tbat the city wells and pumps can supply all the water ue- cessary, but that a larger storage tank is necessary, together wilh larger water mains- and a better sewerage system. The W PA, it is said, has already approved the wa ter project. This project calls for $60 ,000 , of which amount the city will pay half. The bonds, it is re ported, will run for 30 years, bear ing an interest rate, of 4 per cent, and will be purchased by the RFC. It is said that the $40,000 bond issue, if carried in the election to; be held, will increase the tax rate! not more than $2 0 0 on the $1 ,000 . j A man who owns $50,000 worth o f; property in town would pay not more than $100 per year more than he pays under the piesenttax rate. Should the same tax ra'e prevail for the coming 30 years, tbe ex ' tra cost on $50,000 worth of prop erty would be only $3,000 BACK to SCHO1 means BACK TO SPORTS It’s such a favorite, we had it made up in every popidar com bination!

Dallas, Aug. 29 .—Political forces of this rock-ribbed Democratic state split today for a bitter fight oyer the New Deal’s third term movement aud whether Wendell Willkie is to carry Texas in Nov ember. Headed by Mike Hogg of Hous ton, son of the late Gov. James Stephen Hogg, the no third term Democratic party of Texas was formed last night. A crowd that half-filled Fair park auditorium — capacity 5,500 — ap plauded every attack on New Deal philosophy and personalities and yelled approval of Willkie as the standard bearer to end what speak ers said was “a threat to democracy and an opening for a dictator.” Hogg said he was glad to do his bit to “stop this third term bum- buggery. He was authorized to name an executive committee of thirty-one members representing each of tbe state’s senatorial dis tricts. Resolutions were adopted declar ing the purpose of the organization to oppose the election of any man at any time for a third term for President and to undertake to ob- tain an amendment to the Federal Constitution precluding the ‘‘re currence of such perilous condi tions as a ‘‘courageous liberal De mocrat” whose announced convic tions conform to the principles of the group. ._______ TO SELL 'EM, TELL ’EM- With A t A4 V i s i t S A N F O R D ’ S B i g D i s p l a y O f F U R N I T U R E O n S e c o n d F l o o r A u O utstanding V alue W ith Im pressive B eauty In T his M assive 3 -P I E C E P O S T E R B E D R O O M S U I T E B e a u t ifu l full s iz e p o s te r b e d , m a s s iv e c h e s t o f d r a w e r s a n d t r ip le m ir r o r v a n it y f o r o n ly $3 9 . 5 0 Give Your FamiIv The Background Of A Well Furnished Home.

W HO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NEW YORK.—More varied in this country than in England are repercussions to the things John Cudahy, United States ambassador to Belgium, is John Cudahy quoted as Criticized for having said in TalkonBelgm m an interviews in England that aid would be required next win ter to save 8,000,000 Belgians from famine. His defense of King Leo pold III, is regarded as, to say the least, undiplomatic. Whether Secre tary of State Cordell Hull will take cognizance of a further statement alleging the correct behavior of Ger man troops in Belgium—criticized in England as wholly out of order—re mains to be seen. Son of an Irish immigrant who went to Milwankee and made an immense fortune as a meat packer, Cudahy’s diplo matic career began in 1933 with his selection by President Roose velt as ambassador to Poland. In May, 1937, he became minis ter to the Irish Free State and was appointed to the post at Brussels in 1939, succeeding Joseph E. Davies when the lat ter was assigned as a special assistant to the secretary of state. Cudahy was the first to advise President Roosevelt—via telephone —of the German invasion of Bel gium where he remained at his post of duty, narrowly escaping death or injury from bombs, until he, togeth er with all other foreign represen tatives were requested to leave the country. Later, in Germany, he spent two hours with Leopold of Bel gium in the castle assigned to the monarch by the German army and obtained from him a personal letter, presumably divulging the inside story of Belgian capitulation, for Mr. Roosevelt. The ambassador is a Harvard man, class of 1910, holding de grees of bachelor of law, Wis consin, 1913, and doctor of laws, Carroll university. Admitted to the Wisconsin bar in 1913, he practiced until 1917 when he be came a captain in the United States army. Later he ranched in New Mexico, and from 1933 until 1933, when appointed to Po land, he engaged in real estate. Q N E of the outspoken critics in ^ congress of most, if not all, of President Roosevelt’s policies, Sen. Rush D. Holt (Dem., W. Va.) finds e . the currentYoung Senator debate in the Strong Critic senate over O f Roosevelt the selective service and National Guard bills peculiarly his dish. Punctuated by daily clashes between him and Sen. Sherman Minton of Indiana, the colloquys of the two lawmakers have not been regarded by their colleagues as en hancing the dignity of the sen ate. At all events, Holt’s reputa tion as a senator, who has spoken to more empty seats than any other member of the upper house, past or present, has not been main tained in recent sessions, nor do legislative correspondents note the days the smiles of ^amused toler ance which used *to mark his bludgeoning oratory. With the exception of Henry Clay, the youngest man ever elected to the United States sen ate, Holt landed in office in 1935 without benefit of the Democrat ic machine of his state, though wearing the Democratic label. When he defeated Sen. Henry O. Hatfield, a Republican warhorse, for the senatorial toga, he was 29 years old, too young to as sume his seat. The voters of his state knew this, but it made no difference. They just cast their ballots for him anyway. He had to wait six months be fore the legal office-taking age arrived. Having been at one time an athletic director, at St. Patrick’s school in West Virginia, the in stincts of this flushed, exalted stripling were all for the old college tTy from the minute he was sworn in, a manifestation of youthful ebullience violating an unwritten senate rule calling for silence on the part of a new member. One of the first things he did was to visit the White House to make it clear that he was in line with New Deal policies, but later it was made equally clear he was a hold out so far as machine politics, state or national, were concerned. As for the New Deal, he fought the court reorganization bill. He repeatedly accused the WPA of political im plementation. He opposed the cash and carry neutrality plan. When his present term in the sen ate ends he will not return, having been defeated in the primary elec tion in his state last May.

By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Herbert marshall ’s first talking picture was “The Letter,” in which he played Jeanne Eagel’s lover, whom she killed. Now he’s playing in it again, but this time he’s the husband of the heroine, played by Bette Davis. He prefers his current role. • “I’d rather be a betrayed, but live, husband, than a dead lover!” he commented. Incidentally, two of the most interesting photographs that have come this way re cently are of Bette Davis and her stand-in. They’re dressed alike, posed alike. If anything, the stand- in is a little prettier than the talent ed Bette, but she suffers sadly by contrast. Those photographs show the difference between an expert and an amateur, and they’re worthy of any girl's careful study. Twentieth Century-Fox finally got the screen rights to the play “To bacco Road,” which has been run ning in New York for years. RKO wanted it too—it’s rumored that the price was more than $100,000. Unless all censorship bars are let down, considerable rewriting will have to be done. Although the two girls have been on the same lot for more than a year, Dorothy Lamour and Mary Martin didn’t meet until recently, when they were rehearsing dance numbers with LeRoy Frinz. The Sarong Siren was brushing up on her rhumba for “Moon Over Bur ma,” and the “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” girl was rehearsing intri cate tap routines for “Love Thy Neighbor,” In which she appears with Jack Benny and Fred Allen. According to Ray Milland, “The greatest gift an actor can get is a chance to play with Claudette Col bert.” Here’s the record that proves it One of MiUand’s first pictures was CLAUDETTE COLBERT “The Gilded Lily,” made six years ago; it gave him a good start toward his present success. A young man named Fred MacMurray got his start in that picture, too; he was so scared that he shook when he was making tests, and Miss Colbert kidded him out of his panic. Melvyn Douglas was a polite but sinister “heavy” until he worked opposite her in “She Married Her Boss” and Surprised everybody but himself by proving to be an excel lent light comedian. “I Met Him in Paris” gave the public another light comedian, Robert Young, who until then had been a serious young man on the screen. Clark Gable had been slipping at the box office until he and the charmiiig Claudette made the hilarious “It Happened hne Night.” A giant gorilla has been worrying the executives of the zoo at Bristol, England; it costs $48 a day to feed him, and they feared that they’d have to destroy him to save his rations. A giant gorilla has also been wor rying Producer Jack Moss of Para mount—he needed one for “D. O. A.” (Dead on Arrival) a mystery thriller featuring EUen Drew, Rod Cameron, and various others. He’s cabled to Bristol to ask how much he’d have to paj for Alfred, the gorilla, and what could be done about transporting him with a train er to this country. Seems that Hol lywood zoos can’t offer anything big and scary enough to suit his pur pose. After finishing a picture most stars make a great to-do about es caping Hollywood and its crowds to get away to some quiet place. But after finishing “The Howards of Virginia,” Cary Grant rushed straight to Broadway, and Martha Scott headed for a crowded and fashionable hotel in Santa Barbara, Calif. Hats off to them! The stars who declare that they wish the pub lic would let them alone are likely to rage and storm if people don’t notice them—Garbo excepted, of course S tran g e F acts IAll One-Sided 400 Trees Apiece Bordering the V.

(Recipes Below.) HouseholdNems Even on the stickiest, hottest sum mer day, a good tart, icy drink 0 will refresh you. Fruit drinks, in particular, are good; when you drink a frosty tumbler of lemon ade or chilled or ange juice, you not only feel cool er, you are cooler. Fresh fruit drinks actually ward off the heat of sum mer. Fruit beverages provide the min erals and vitamins the body re quires, and, because of the sugar added for sweetening, are fairly high in food energy. It’s very easy to serve “soda foun tain specials” at home. Any combi nation of fruit juices makes a de lightful and refreshing beverage— provided some of the more tart juices, such as those from lemons, slightly sour oranges, or rhubarb— are used to keep the beverage from tasting too sweet and flat. Use slices of orange or lemon, mint leaves, whole, fresh or canned cherries or berries, for garnishing. Ice cubes for chilling fruit drinks or iced tea might be frozen from orange or lem on juice, to avoid diluting the bev erage. Mint leaves, bits of lemon peel or cherries can be frozen into the cubes. For iced coffee, pour some of the coffee into the freezing tray of your refrigerator, and freeze. Then use the coffee cubes for chilling the drink. Sugar syrup, used for sweetening, is easily mixed throughout the whole drink, and makes a smoother tast- SW ing, smoother tex- tured drink, than vrlwr i when unmelted sugar has been added. To make the sugar syrup, boil 4 cups of sugar with 4 cups of water, for 10 min utes. Pour into clean, hot jars, and seal. Store in refrigerator, and use as needed. Serve crisp cookies or dainty sandwiches with iced drinks for sim ple afternoon or evening refresh ments. Lemonade. Follow these three rules if you want to make perfect lemonade: Use fresh lemon juice and plenty of it; sweeten to the taste of each—not too much sweetening for folks who like it sour—sweeter for those with a sweet tooth; use ice and more ice. For each person served, allow: I lemon I to 2 tablespoons sugar or honey I cup cold water Ice Extract lemon juice. Add sugar or honey to taste. Stir to dissolve. Add water. Serve over ice in large glasses. Garnish with lemon slice on rim of glass. To make lemon fizz, make lemonade with carbon ated water. “Simple Desserts for Summer Menus” is an article you’ll want to read. Watch for it in this col umn next week. Sugar Cookies.

INVITING OTHERS TO WORSHIP GOD LESSON TEXT—Psalm 96.GOLDEN TEXT—O magnify the Loid with me, and let us exalt bis name to* gether.—Psalm 34:3. Worship is not only fitting, but al together natural to the soul aglow with the love of God. Yet it is a sacred privilege to which we may call ourselves and others and in the doing of which we may be helped by an intelligent understanding of its nature and preparation for its prac tice. What is worship? How does it dif fer from prayer, or from praise (which we studied last week)? While prayer, praise and worship belong together and often merge in one blessed art of devotion, we may pos sibly distinguish between them by saying that in prayer we are con cerned with our needs; in praise, with our blessings; and in worship, with God Himself. I. The Call to Worship.(w. 1-3). This psalm has to do with collec tive rather than individual worship. It is not enough that man should worship God in his own soul, there is an added blessing which comes to us only as we worship with oth ers. So we need to be called to gether for worship. True worship centers in “a new eong” that is the song of a regener ated heart. Worship is only a for mality without life until there is a new song in the heart, and then it becomes life’s greatest joy and sat isfaction. Real worship is a “day to day” matter (v. 2), not just something we pat on like our “Sunday-go-to- meeting” clothes. Every day we are to worship, and as we do, we shall “declare his glory among the heathen” ; among those nearest to us, but ultimately to all the na tions of the earth. Worship leads out in a desire that its blessing may be shared with all the people of the earth. n. The Reason for Worsldp (w . 4-6). Why should we worship God? He is “great” and is a God so good and gracious that He is “greatly to be praised.” He made the heav ens. “Honor and majesty” stand before Him like sentinels; “strength and beauty” fill the holy place which is “his sanctuary." The very words bespeak that glorious majesty and gracious loving-kindness which im pel the heart to worship. They en courage- us who need and seek strength and beauty of life to seek communion with Him who dwells eternally in such an atmosphere. III. The Manner of Worship (w . 7-10). We have suggested that fellowship with God prompts us to worship. Some would feel that nothing more is needed, but experience tells us that, while we may worship any where, we are helped to do so by proper surroundings and circum stances. We are told to “come into his courts” (v. 8) and to worship “in the beauty of holiness” (v. 9), or, as the Revised Version puts it, “in holy array.” John Ruskin wisely said: “It can not be questioned at all, that, if once familiarized with a beautiful form and color, we shall desire to see this also in the house of prayer; its absence will disturb instead of assisting devotion; and we shall feel it as vain to ask whether, with our own house full of good craftsman ship, we shall worship God in a house destitute of it, as to ask whether a pilgrim, whose day’s jour ney Md him through fair woods and by sweet waters, must at eve ning turn aside into some barren place to pray.” We are to give or ascribe unto the Lord praise and glory among our “kindred” (v. 7); that is, our own family, as well as in “his courts,” His sanctuary. Note that one of the outstanding ways of wor shiping is to “bring an offering” (v. 8), which means more than casually slipping a small coin in the “collec tion.” If our “offerings” are liberal and regular the church will be able to send the news that “the Lord reigneth” to the whole world (v. 10 ). IV. Tbe Universality of Worship (w . 11-13). A world which has felt the blow of man’s sin (Rom. 8:22) and has suffered from his wickedness and destructive violence will so rejoice in the righteousness of God’s judg ment that even the realm of nature will break into joyous worship. What a beautiful picture we see in these verses, how God’s cre'ation will lift itself up in praise, the sea in tu multuous joy, when “the hills shall break forth before you into Sing ing, and all the trees shall clap their hands’.’ (Isa. 55:12). Can man then hold his peace? Must not “mortal tongues awake” and “all that breathe partake” in wholehearted worship of God? Who then will want to. stand among “them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ’’ (II Thess. 1:7, 8), and with whom God can deal only in judgment of flaming fire?.

The dearest wish of one bride-to-be was a kitchen in gay Mexican colors. Her friends had a wonderful time selecting everything from pottery to peeling knife handles in tones of green, orange and red. One gift that was appreciated most of all was the apron, curtain and tea towel set sketched here. This set was made from muslin flour and sugar bags. Muslin by the yard would do just as well, and I have shown in the sketch how the gingham facings and bias tape trimming were applied to add the correct touch of color. If you have never cut an apron without a special pattern, you will find di rections in Book 4 along with ideas for more aprons and other fascinating things to make for al* most nothing.

Elsie Robinson, newspaper col- umist, who peddles her stuff to a pretty respectable chain of U. S. newspapers—though it does not in clude our own—came out with a hard.hitting indictment of the re cent Democratic national conven tion and the nomination and the nomination by that convention of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Henry A. Wallace. W bat Elsie dad to say is not im portant because Elsie said it, but we regard it as of tremendous im portance because it • was the first public avowal from a respectable, non-partisan source of a sentiment which has gainod widespread circu lation in personal conversations and group discussions all over this coun try. The columnist summed up her tirade, after branding the Demo cratic convention as a frameup, with the heated declaration that she, as a Democrat, "has seen a terrible thing. I. have seen the peo ple of these United States lassoed, branded, dehorned, led to the trough and made to drink. And so help me, God of my Fathers, I’d rather die beneath Hitler’s bombs than be framed like that by my own kith and kin.” At the moment we do not feel justified in going to the lengths of denunciation which Miss Robinson has attained; but we do feel honest. Iy that her expressed viewpoint is one which has taken hold of a great many erstwhile Democrats through out the United States. W ith its first spectacular leader since the Civil War, and with the first Presidential nominee endowed with qualities to inspire the simple confidence of common people in modern times, the Republican par ty is making a bid for national power which cannot be discounted. Statesinthisregion which have by habit come to coqnt heavily up on continuation of Democratic con. trol of state governments should give closest heed to the peculiar national political situation. Just what eventual influence the obvious unpopularity of the details of the. Democratic national conven tion may assume, we have no way of knowing; but we do know that Democratic politicians are faced 1 with an heroic task of re-establish ing the faith, even* among their most devoted followers, in the sur vival of the basic freedom of action of the Democratic party. Every “county gang,” every “ courthouse crowd," every politi cal "machine” now in operation nnder Democratic banners has sud denly become a distinct liability to the partv nationally and in state contests. The convention at Chicago Ieit an indisputable stench in the nos trils of many citizens who had counted themselves loyal Demo crats. Sttch an odor arising, as it did, on the very heels of the first Republican convention in the mem ory of living man which had not been a cnt-and-dried, boss cictated travesty of free action, had an es pecial potency and a force calcula ted to develop with the passage of time. Now, if never before, the Demo cratic party has got to make a noise like a real organization for the ex pression of the popular will, or face tbe wrath of the very element In our population upon which it has long counted most heavily for sup port; the elemeftt which hates and distrusts a government 'which as snmes superiority over the people who grant it pow er' and which dares to sustain its authority by processes not sanctioned by tradit ion or unmistakable popular de mand.

N agro P ublisher To Support W illk ie. . Pittsburgh. — Robert L Vann negro leader and publisher who backed President Roosevelt in . the campaign of 1932 and 1936 , threw bis support today to Wendell L- Willkle, Republican candidate for the presidency. In an article in the Pittsburgh Courier nationally-circulated week ly newspaper devoted to the negro interests, he said: “ We supported Mr. Roosevelt in 1932 . We supported him with less enthusiasm in 1936 ; but he is a far different man todav. Because of his change and be cause of the subtle way in which he has shifted his position toward tbe American people and because of his willingness to frighten 130 ,- 000,000 people into believing that this country is going to be at war by by Christmas if be is not elect ed, because of this type of decep tion and because of his absolute re fusal to say a word in. behalf of the 13 ,000,000 negroes in the United States during his seven years in the W hite House, we cannot support him in 1940 .” Send your son or daughter The Record while they are away in col* lege.

Wendell Willkie, in a blistering attack on delays in the nation’s de fense program, declared the Roose velt administration, does not even know how to operate a defense pro gram and he called upon the Pre sident to give more authority to the National Defense Advisory Com mission. A chairman for the seven-mem ber groug, he said, should be ap pointed at once. "This so-called advisory commis sion has'two or three members of great ability and experience in pro duction matters,” he added. "But anyone with the most elementary understanding of tbe functioning of organization can function without a head ......... "You couldn’t run a peanut stand if you had five employes with no directing head - who could de vote himself to-the business.” Saying that "it is time for bunk and conversation to end and time to get machinery going,” the Re publican presidential nominee de clared that Mr. Roosevelt substan tial authority to the defense com mission and that any necessary statutory authority also should be provided. "N o President, no m atter how able, with all other duties, he said, can possibly give time or consider ation to all the problems that such a board has to solve.” W illkie asserted that the absence of a “directing head” leadsto "jeal. ousies, discord, inefficiency and failure.” "A t the moment,” he said “ we are engaged purely in a problem of production. This administration has no experience in praetical or ganization or production, and there, fore it doesn’t know how to make such things effective.” W illkie said that if William S.

Hitler was made the issue and Roosevelt, of all the 130 million of our population, the sole salvation. AU opponents of Roosevelt were classfied as nothing less than “ rea son for rejoicing in Berlin ” Only Roosevelt understands what it’s all about, what the rise of Hitler has meant. AU attacks on him have provided aid and comfort to Adolf. As for democracy, on that Roose velt holds the patient rights It is strongly hinted that tho democracy is commonly assumed to tolerate op position that dares raise its voice a- gainst Roosevelt—falls little short of treason. For. in the wordf of Wal lace, "whatever the motive, the ef fect was the same—these attacks on Roosevelt and his program played in to the hands of Hitler.” Only Roosevelt has the knowledge, the experience and the wisdom to be President. He is Indispensability Personified—the One a n d Only. Without him Hitler would rejoice we shall assuredly walk the “path of destruction and lost freedom.” That iB the theme. Woe is me! Accepted, there would be but one thing to do. Close the campaign now and elect by acclamation for a third term in one ringing shout — Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Bebindthissudden and unexpect ed move is tbe state of bis health, the official communique announces. Behind it, we feel, also is the state of his activities at the Chica go convention. The manner in which he took complete charge of tbe interests of Mr. Roosevelt there greatly offeudJJ ed other Democratic party leaders. Hopkins made himself offensive by his officiousness. He not only arrogated to himself, or had been authorized by the Pre sident to assume, the mastery of ceremonies at Chicago, but he brushed aside other men far more important and influential' in the party and ran things pretty much after the fashion of a rzai. Mr Farley was among those he shoved out of his way as he intri gued and manipulated to get Mr. Roosevelt nominated for a third term in keeping with his own tech nique of tyranny which greatly in furiated others who were also closer to the interests of tbeir partv. It has been known that since the convention this thorn in the flesh was becoming more and more in growing and tha,. the sit-down strike which other influential leaders of the party has virtually threatened in the event that Hopkins remain ed in command might be fatal to the prospect of victory for Mr. Roosevelt. It is, therefore, out of the ques tion to remove the suggestion that the resignation of Hopkins is in spired by other factors than tbe conditions of his health which is in no worse condition of impairment todav than it has long been.—Char lotte Observer.

WNU SBRVICB GHtfXEB X m —Continued The door opened before Debby readied it. John stood there, smil ing, his face gloWing with cold above the collar of the bear skin coat, his hat in his hand. “Hello—” he said. The smile fad ed as his eyes moved questioningly about Uie room. “What’s the mat ter?” he asked hesitantly. “What’s going on here?” Debby conquered her sobs. Her head lifted. “Gay wants' to take me back to New York with her,” she said, “and Mother won’t let me go.” “So you threw a tantrum.” Over Debby’s head John’s eyes flashed a question at Gay. She tried to smile reassuringly but his expression, con cerned and apprehensive, told her that she had not succeeded. “I think it is wiser for Debby to remain at home.” Gay saw that Ann Houghton’s eyes, lifted quickly to her son, were frightened, now, heard the shaken note in her voice. “Wiser!” Debby’s voice rose again to an hysterical pitch. She whirled from her mother to face John, stand ing grave and silent in the doorway. "You know why she won’t let me go. You know tbat she doesn’t ap prove of—” “Go to your room, Debby.” John’s voice, cutting through her hysteri cal outburst, silenced Debby. She went past him out of the room, her head drooping again, her defiance crumpling beneath his stem, uncom promising expression. Sarah fol lowed. The door closed. CH tfTEBX IV “What is it, Mother?” John threw off his coat and walked to the hearth. “What started this? What is it all about?” . “I don’t think we need to discuss it.” Ann Houghton resumed her knit ting. During the interval of silence which had followed the closing of the door, she had regained her com posure. Her hands manipulated the amber needles steadily. Only the dull red flush that burned In her cheeks betrayed any inward agita tion. “I don’t agree with you.” John stood with his back to the fire, his glance turning from his mother to Gay, then back again to Ann Hough ton. “I find • Debby in hysterics, Sarah crying, you and Gay obvi ously distressed. I should like to know, if you please, exactly what has happened.” Gay’s hands tightened on the back of the chair behind which she stood. “It was my fault,” she said. “I invited Debby to go back to New York with me.” : “And you don’t want her to go?” John’s eyes, grave and concerned, turned again from Gay to his moth er. “I don’t think it advisable. Un fortunately, Debby had her heart set on it. She was rude to me and in considerate of Gay. I did think she’d outgrown tantrums.” “I should have consulted Mrs. Houghton before I spoke of it to Debby. I’m sorry. It didn’t occur to me that any objection would be raised.” “Why do you object, Mother?” Ann Houghton regarded her son with a studied deliberation which rhilled Gay’s sympathy, aroused her antagonism. As deeply as memories of her own turbulent adolescence had moved her to sympathy for Deb by, she had pitied John’s mother, too. Now, watching her manner with John, its effect upon him, pity crys tallized into resentment. Debby’s accusations had held a measure, at least, of truth. If she had not seen Ann. Houghton’s gesture in John’s room this morning, if she had not had that revealing glimpse of the possessive passion which burned be neath her controlled and reasonable manner with her children, she might now be convinced that only-wisdom motivated the decision she had made. But she had seen. She knew— “You know how difficult Debby has been,” Ann Houghton replied, her eyes bolding John’s troubled glance. “This year, especially. She’s just beginning to show a real inter est in the courses she’s taking at the high school. I’m sure it would be unwise to allow her to make a break now.” “Perhaps you’re right,” John said doubtfully. “I offered to have her tutored In the courses she's-taking,” Gay said, “or send her to a business school. It’s quite probable that she might make more rapid progress with a tutor than in a class at the high school here.” . She had not meant to give an im pression of patronage. Butthat,she saw, was the effect of her words upon Ann Houghton, upon John. “That's very generous, Gay,” John’s mother said, "but quite un necessary.” Johns gave a- short laugh.- “You aren’t going to assume foil responsi bility for all of us, are you?” he asked. “I think we can leave Deb by’s education to Mother.” “I wasn’t thinking of Debby’s ed ucation,” she said lightly. “I thought she would enjoy a visit in New York and that I would enjoy having her there. My motives, as usual, I’m afraid, were almost entirely selfish.” John looked at her, then, question ingly, pleadingly. She smiled and his face cleared. “She would- enjoy it,” he said. "She’s always been crazy about you. The idea of you before she met you. I suppose, now, after these past three days, she’s your slave.” He % John stood there, smiling. turned to his mother. “Let her go with Gay, Mother. She isn’t doing much here.” The distance between them nar rowed. Gay’s spirits lifted. It was as though he had come to stand be side her and taken her hand in his. “I don’t feel that it would be wise, John,” Ann Houghton said reason ably, quietly. “Debby is impression able and immature. It would be mistaken kindness, if you'll permit me to express myself frankly, Gay, to give her, at this time, a taste of something she can’t have perma nently. I’m afraid she would be more discontented than ever when she returned.” “Good Lord, Mother.” John’s voice held a note of irritation. “No body wants to eat fruit cake for ev ery meal, but it’s pleasant once in a while.” Ann Houghton smiled faintly. “I think that sort of fruit cake, just now,” she said, “would be very bad for Debby. With this notion she has of singing on a radio pro gram or in some place of entertain ment, I’m afraid that being in New York with Gay would turn her head completely.” “I shouldn’t allow her to do any thing of which you would disap prove, Mrs. Houghton.” “I don’t question that, but your life is so different from our life here. I’m afraid that the contrast—” “You know Debby is a chameleon, Mother. She adapts herself easily to any environment.” “That’s just why I don’t—” she broke off, glanced quickly at John, at Gay. ‘T m not presuming to criti cize= your mode of living, Gay, but I’m convinced that for Debby just at this time— If it were Sarah, that would be a different matter." She folded her knitting into the bag. “I shouldn’t think you would want her for a visit after the scene you’ve just witnessed. I feel that she, that L owe you an apology.” “No, please, Mrs. Houghton. She was terribly disappointed. It was my fault. I should have consulted yoii. It’s all right. I understand how you feel, but I’m disappointed too.*’ John made a Testiess movement oh the hearth. -Then it’s'settled, isn’t it? Debby doesn’t go back to New York with Gay. Now m ay “we talk of something else? Food, for in stance. T m 'starvied. - Did Huldah make chocolate doughnuts? Come out to the kitchen with me, Gay.” Ann Houghton rose ffom her chair. “H you- please, John, I’d like you to go to -Debby with me.” “Oh, let her alone.

She’s not been, herself ■ these - past lew “YouMturh-her into- a-neurotic if you don’t stop coddling her.” “Debby is sensitive in a way which I think I understand better than you.” John turned to Gay in smiling exasperation. “What was the use of my spending four years in medi cal school and two years interning when mother, by instinct, knows more than I do about my profes sion.” Again a faint chilling smile touched Ann Houghton’s lips. “I should like you to go with me, John,” she repeated. “Debby is nervously excited. She’ll probably need a sedative to put her to sleep. The doughnuts will wait, and Gay will excuse you for a few minutes, I’m sure.” “Certainly, Mrs. Houghton.” “Back in a minute, Gay.” John’s eyes were pleading. His smile was strained.. “Good-night, Gay.” “Good-night, Mrs. Houghton.” John went out of the room with his mother. The door closed. Gay stood leeming against the back of the chair, staring into the fire. Gay did not turn when the door opened. She remained seated in the chair beside the hearth, looking up at the painting above the mantel. “Were you asleep?” John asked, coming to the chair. ‘T m sorry I’ve been so long.” “No, not asleep. I’ve been getting acquainted with the gentleman up there. It’s your great-grandfather, isn’t it?” “Abner Houghton—yes.” “You don’t look like him. In an hour of intensive study I haven’t been able to find a trace of resem blance.” “I’m sorry it’s been an hour. I wanted to get back to you.” He bent to lift her. hands lying In her lap. ' “Come over here where we can be close together. I haven’t kissed you for three days." "Has it been only three days?” “Darling, have you been misera ble?” She drew her hands from his, sat looking down at them, silent. “What is it? What are you think ing?” ' “I want to go with you tomor row.” “Into Portland? I meant to take you." “And then on to New York—to morrow.” “But Mary expects you to stay. And the kids. Nat made me prom ise to bring you.” “That’s dear of them, but—” “Look at me, Gay.” She raised her head. Seeing his grave and troubled face, she gave a little cry. He bent toward her. Her arms went around his neck. Their Ups met and clung. Presently he drew away, straightened, took her hands to pull her up from the chair. “Did taking Debby to New York mean so much to you?” “I should have enjoyed having her, but that isn’t important.” “That act she pulled must have been unpleasant for you.” "It wasn’t an act.” She sat beside him on a sofa with a high back curled at one end like a snail. “Deb by meant every word she said.” He looked searchingly into her eyes.. “Do you believe that, Gay?” “Of course I believe i t Pve been here for three days.” “Mother told me. I hadn’t real ized-” “I don’t want to discuss your mother, John.” “But you can’t beUeve the things Debby said were true.” “They are true. I’m sorry if it offends you but you asked for it." He drew a Uttle away from her. “Mother is only thinking of what is best for Debby. She is emotional and immature, and she has this no tion about singing—" “Why shouldn’t she have a chance?” “That isn’t what Mother wants for Debby.” “What does she want for Debby?” “She wants her to go to coUege.” “So that Debby can spend the rest of her life being grateful to her?” Her voice softened. “Oh, I am sorry, John. I shouldn’t have said that.” “You can say what you like to me, what you think, how you feel.” “No, I can’t. When I do, we quar rel. Debby isn’t important insofar as we are concerned. But your mother is. She doesn’t want Debby to go to New York with me be cause she’s afraid of me, of the things I can do for her. She wants to be everything to aU of you.” “That’s natural, isn’t it?” “Natural, perhaps, but selfish. Yes, selfish,. John. Can’t,you see?’’ “If you knew what Mother’s Ijfe has been. Her every thought has been for us.” " “It would have been better for her, for you, if she had to plan for us, Gay. There wasn’t much money. You can’t understand, I suppose." “No, frankly, I can’t.” “That’s-because you have the pro tection of wealth,” he said stiffly. “Oh, money! Because my grand fathers left a trust fund for me, we bicker and quarrel.” Antagonism sharpened her voice, a sense of the distance - widening- between them. “You attach too much importance to what I have—” “It isn’t because you have it now,” he said slowly, with measured de liberation. “It’s because you’ve al ways had it. From the hour you were born every thought you’ve had, every move you’ve made, has been colored and shaped by the fact that both your grandfathers were wealthy men. Your mother—” “How absurd we are!” She gave a short strained laugh. “In New York we quarreled because my mother did not display a properly maternal attitude. Now we quarrel because your mother is a model of 22 “If you knew that Mother’s life - had been.” maternal devotion. Oh, is it impor tant, John?” “We are each of us the product of our separate environments,” he said carefully, thoughtfully. “You had . nurses and governesses.

Mother did everything for us. When we were sick, she couldn’t afford to engage a trained nurse. There was no money for elaborate toys, amusement, en tertaining. Mother made fun for us at home. She scrimped and saved to send me to college, to send Sarah. She managed it in ways you couldn’t understand, hamburger instead of steak, never quite enough heat ini the house, dried vegetables instead of fresh ones in winter, Sarah’s dresses made over for Debby—’* (TO BE CONTINUED) Many Non-Metal Parts Are Used in Automobile Steel and iron are the basic ma terials of automobile construction but a surprising number of non-me- tallic substances enter also.

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES O F JOHNNY HUNTER’S C A SL The following story appeared Id the last issue of Thursday, North Carolina's young est but most sparkling weekly newspaper, published at Winston-Salem. If von are going awav to teach this fall, let ns send you The Re cord so you can keep up with what is happening in the old houic coun ty Only 50c. from now until May 15th. Sen-I us your name and 50 cents today. The strange case of the girl who went for a ride with two married men and came home in bysterin is over. But it has left behind it a hundred and one mysteries Some of these mysteries may yet b,: solv ed, in spi e of the formal .termina tion of the case of the state vs U- riah W yatt and Ernest Myers, char ged with the double raoe of Johnr nie Hunter on the night of Julv 17 . Time and the inclination of per sons involved to talk and o( others to inquire may clear up some of the questions w.iich the public has been discussing for the oast week. Meantime, some new light wesshed on the case since the Davie county jury acquitted the two men at Mocksville. One new and possiblv significant tact revealed that Mrs. Lucinda Young, sister of Johnnie Hunter, was picked tip by police here on August 22nd, the day Johnnie is said to have par’ially repudiated her raoe story. From 'a confidential but unim peachable source. Thursday learn ed that on the Friday before the opening of the trial, Johnnie was told that she could get a large sum of money if she would drop the charges. Bombshell iti the case dropped on Friday afternoon, when Marvin Rogers testified that Johnny Hunt er had been to him on August 22 (before trial} with statements dis- aiming the rape and expressing esire to withdraw the charges he girl's statements were corrob- rated in part by attorney Ed But er, who was consulted by Rogers nd supposedly Johnny Hunter. But even before Friday’s sensa ional developments, defense ques tions had drooped ominious hints. Johnny had been asked if she had talked to Marvin Rogers prior to August 22, had denied that she knew or had ever seen Lawyer Butler. The trial reached its most dra matic moment when Bnt er was called by defense attorneys to iden tify Jofinnie Hunter. Butler's iden tification was halting, qualified with pinion that Johnny Hunterlooked IfEerently from the day he had een her. Then finally Butler ex- ressed his certainty. Thursday learned that no one as or does now question But er’s estimony except as to possibility of istaken identity. Solicitor HaTI aid he was now cor Gd^nt that the rosecuting witness did in fact talk 0 the two men. , On cross-examination of Butler, olicitor Avalon Hall touched brief on a refatal of. Roger’s story e called Johnnv Hunter, then her 'ster Lucinda. As the two gitls ood together, their apoeaiance as strikingly similar—satne blond air, similar fac:al features with xeeption of eyes. But that’s as far as Solicitor Hall ent. A few moments later, he raised question as 10 why Bullet ,had carried the storv to defense at torneys rather than to him. But ler’s reply was a challenge and a warning, ar.d the explanation wa« not given. LatC 1 howwver, the w in-ss Sni.- he told the girl tb' take her sto-y t<. the p osecutor and that he would consult Rov D-'al, defense a'toriwy, w iichhe did. He also tod th- court that Rogers had later < alien bin, and told him that Johnnie Iia1 said she would not go through with her second s'orv but stick to the original version. Next day, the capital charge was dropped and for all prac ical Eir- poses the affair was over The only expedient that seen.s likely to have saved the case for Hall would have heen to break down Roger’s story or Butler’s cor rohoration. Aside from cursory questions, this was not attempted Why this » as not done was one of the questions left over from the c:T,e Sol'^'or Hal1 told Thursday tbit, while Johnnie continued to deny the sensational testimony 01 Rogers aud Butler, she lster told him that she had in fact talked to a lawyer in Winston->alem. From ques'tou ing, be surmised this to have heen Joe Johnston. Johnston denied b v- ing been consulted by the girl on August 22 and Hall decided the conflicting stories had hamstrung the case. He #1so told Thursday that after the trtal he had obtained a bit of evidence corrohora'ive of the “ repudiation" angle Here are some of the hitherto unrevealed angles of the case: First, Thursday is told that at the time of the trial the prosecution had available evidence tending to show that the girl who supposedly talked to Ed Butler was not John ny Hunter. It is a known and provable fact that on August 22 Luciuda was picked up for inves'igation by Win ston-Salem police. On that after, noon, Thursday is told, Lucinda was dressed in the same manner as that outlined by Burler in describ ing Johnny Hunter. It has been asserlained that know ledge of this fact was communicat ed to Solicitor Hall and that wit nesses to prove it were available. Fuither, that testimony could have been offered which would have strongly questioned that Johnuy H utiterw asonA ugust 22 at the places testified. Lucinda, recently married, has been separated from her husband because he ran afoul of the law. The husband is now being held on white slavery charges. It is a fact that Johnny Hunter has made statements denying that she talked to Rogers and Butler. Since close of the trial, she has re peated that denial. On Friday, the week before the trial, according to a reliable sonrce, Johnny Hunter was told that she could get a large sum of money to drop the case.

NEW YORK.—After 20 years they still tell, in Moscow, how bold Semyon Konstantovich Timoshenko, then a cavalry chief, led a Red _ . — .... I regiment ofRussian Politician horse up to Fixes Vp Jobs W a r s a w’s For Commissars gaIes-After another 20 years, no doubt, they will still be telling how, in 1940, the same Sem yon, then commissar of defaftse, led more than a regiment of his follow ers back to the payrolls from which they had been briefly booted. When Russia blundered to vic tory over fallen Finland her armies obeyed a double-barreled - leadership. Alongside the or thodox military commanders marched as many political com missars, all with the power of vato. Thousands of dead Rus sians proved the weakness of this cooimand system, and this week Moscow announced that the commissars were out on their various ears. Overnight, however, they got back —in the army, stilL Now they are assistant commanders for political affairs. The old power of veto is gone, but the pay check will be the same. Timoshenko fixed it all up as briskly as any ward boss ever drummed up jobs for the faithful. Timoshenko has been fixing things up ever since Lenin got a stranglehold on imperial Russia, for himself as well as his party. He is rough and tough, and on the record he has what it takes to get ahead under Communism. His jaw is wide and hard. His eyes have a “Sex you!” glint. His thin hair grows close to a hard poll, offering no purchase for an enemy’s hand. He got his first real boost in 1937 when he was made commander of the North Caucasian Corps area. His last and best, however, came in May of this year. Then he reached his current job. He is pretty high up now. And in Russia, under Stalin, the higher they go the hard er they fall. So those fellows may not be permanently on the payroll after all. A PLUMP, pleasant middle-aged lady, who likes pink dresses and an old-fashioned hair-do, has the job of seeing that we don’t turn too . . . much butter ConsumerAdotser into cannons Assigned to Watch —or at any For Profiteering t M ter. As consumer adviser for the national defense advisory commis sion, Miss Harriet Elliott calls a na tional conference of retailers to lay the foundation of co-operation in the maintenance of living standards as a bulwark of defense. She has long maintained that health, housing, recreation, child welfare and general public well being are bedrock essentials of. any defense program. With the above appointment she became the first woman to be “drafted” in the current mobilization of hu man and material resources. Miss Elliott is a Quaker and col lege professor—dean of the woman’s college of the University of North Carolina. For 21 years she has been professor of political science at this college and has achieved unique dis tinction in her daily classroom take off from the morning newspaper, rather than a text book. Her theory of education is to pro ceed from the particular to the gen eral; she thinks Mill and Adam Smith should be left on the shelf un til the student can generalize from every-day facts as they come to him in the news. She is wary about theories. One of her. main jobs as con sumer adviser is to watch prices. While she has fought profiteers, she is no alarmist about goug ing, and believes that all ele ments in producing and market ing processes will be co-opera tive if they are sensibly aBd fairly mobilized. However, she has at hand a portfolio of pretty stiff laws, with the department of justice standing by, if she finds it necessary to invoke them. Miss Elliott is a native of Carbon- dale, 111 ., where her mother and sis ter still live. She is an alumna of Park college, Parkville, Mo., and Hanover college, Hanover, Ind., and. holds a master’s degree from Co lumbia university. In the first World war, she was a member of the women’s council of national de fense. It was her work in this post which projected her into her long, continued studies of public well, being as basic requirement for d» fense.

It is is e d , w h ic h e 'h a n y o u em o f o d - iffe re n c e * m o re in e n t th e rtised . I * By VIRGINIA VALE(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) IT SEEMS that those year- old twins, Beverly and Bar* bara Quintanilla, are to play just one baby instead of two in Warner Brothers' “Four Moth ers,” and all because Williain Keighleyr Used his .head. The script called for Pris cilla Lane to be the mother of a one-year-old child. One of the laws that give directors gray hair is that an infant can’t be kept under the lights for more than 20 minutes, and can’t, work more than two hours a day. So Keighley did some arithmetic and engaged twins for the role. He claims that the scheme has two ad vantages—it doubles the shooting time, and though one baby isn’t in the right mood at the big moment, her sister may be full of ambition. Members of the company of “Vir ginia” were sitting around on loca tion, waiting for the shooting to start; off at one side, a young lady MADELEINE CARROLL was crocheting. She seemed to be so expert that one of the extras, a local girl, asked if she’d teach her. The pretty crocheter was most af fable about it; when the director, Edward H. Griffith, called the play ers together at last the pupil thanked her. “By the way,” she said, “What’s your name?" The crocheter replied “Call me Madeleine—Made. Ieine Carroll.” Maybe this is bribery—but Direc tor Mitchell Leisen has told Ray Mil- Iand and Claudette Colbert, co-stars of his picture, “Arise My Love,” that if they comnlete their roles ahead of schedule he will buy each of them a tailored suit. Director Sam Wood also became elothes-conscious and sent little Betty Brewer two sweaters and a plaid skirt for being such a good girl when Claudette’s husband, Dr. Joel I. Pressman, took her tonsils out. Not to be outdone by an this generosity, Claudette is working between scenes on a blanket which will be a gift for the Ray MilIand heir, little David Daniel. Paulette Goddard danced three numbers with Fred Astaire for scenes in Paramount’s “Second Chorus” and set a record that prob ably won’t be broken in Hollywood for many years to come. Though she has never danced for films be fore, she did it so well that every dance photographed perfectly in one take, thanks to working like a dog at rehearsals. Frank Capra,seeks realism in his pictures. When Gary Cooper had to protest a decision to a baseball um pire in “Meet John Doe,” Capra asked Fat Flaherty, former major league pitcher, what players usually say in such a case. “You’ve never seen it printed, have you?” asked Flaherty. Capra shook his head. “Then you wouldn’t want to use it in the picture, would you?” So the protest will just sound like an angry speech by Donald Duck. — * — “The one, the only, the original Professor Quiz,” who recently cele brated his 200 th consecutive week on the air, has been broadcasting for four years—during that time he’s received almost 2,000,000 letters, con taining more than 12,000,000 ques tions—and has paid out more than $25,000 in prize money. He’s not superstitious, but he refuses to go on the air without the battered old felt hat from which the questions are selected at the broadcast—it was borrowed years ago from a statical manager in Charlotte, N.

IHousehoklNeius VV DESSERTS FOR THE BEGINNER (Recipes Below) With fall fast creeping upon us, you brides of the past few months are eagerly looking forward to the end of the vacation season. Then you can proudly show to your friends and newly acquired relatives that you are becoming not only a pro ficient hostess and homemaker, but also a first-rate cook. Perhaps you’ll decide upon a tea for your friends, serving dainty sand wiches, small cookies or tiny frosted cakes. But the families usually an ticipate a family dinner which tends to make the bride feel. that they will arrive with an extremely healthy appetite and a critical eye.

GOLDEN TEXT-Ii a man 16ve me, ha Will keep my words; and my Father win love him, and we WlU come unto him, and make our abode with him.—Jobn 14:23. “The Psalm of the Unavoidable God”—so Abingdon characterizes Psalm 139, but goes on to say, “It’s main theme is ’God Cares.’ He cares personally and individually.” The omniscience and omnipresence of God, in the trying of the hearts of men, rightly brings fear to the ungodly, but to those who love and serve Him it can bring only assur ance and joy. The sublime concept of God here presented is an evidence of the di vine inspiration of the Bible, for no human philosopher could ever have attained to or expressed such an understanding of the true nature of God. Only the infinite, all-knowing God, speaking through man, could give us this magnificent Psalm. It reveals that I. God Knows Everything (w . 1-6 ). He is entirely unlimited in His true and eternal knowledge of things. Man is always limited in his knowledge of himself, of the world in which he lives, and of God, ex cept as He reveals Himself. Our knowledge is not only partial, but progressive, going from one fact to another; but God knows all things perfectly and entirely from the be ginning, yes, from all eternity. One might well suppose that such a Being would be concerned only with the great and mighty forces of the universe, but we are told that He has an exact and intelligent un derstanding of and interest in even such simple details of life as our “downsitting and . . . uprising.” God is not so foolish as man. He does not put things and power above personality. He is interested in you and in me—is vitally, personally and blessedly concerned about each one of us. Knowing all about us, He builds a garrison of understand ing love around us (v. S; see Phil. 4:7 R. V.), and keeps His eternally powerful but tender hand upon us, if we permit Him so to do. Reader, have you submitted your life to His control through Jesus Christ our Lord? n . God Is Everywhere (w . 7-12). In our humanity we are limited, not only in knowledge, but also in our ability to be in more than one place at a time. The Bible tells us what our reason would expect; that God, the infinite One, is every where at all times. This does not mean (as the pantheist would have us believe) that God is lost in na ture, bound up in the rocks and trees, but that He is everywhere immanent in majestic power and love, sustaining all things, control ling and directing the destinies of His universe. He is not afar oS, letting the world care for itself (as the deist would say), ’ “But here In present majesty, As In Bis couits on high.” The man who would hide from God- and flee from the Holy Spirit finds no comfort in these verses. He may attempt to hide in heaven or in the abode of the dead, but God is there. U he could ride with the speed of morning light (v. 9) to the uttermost parts of the earth,. God is there before him. Darkness, which men think will hide their evil deeds, is like daylight to “Him with whom we have to do” (Heb. 4:13); But why flee from a loving God? Why not come to Him in loving obe dience, and then with the psalmist rejoice that we “cannot get beyond the circle of His love”? What a blessed truth it is that wherever these lines are read—in the home, the church, in a hospital, in a jail, in an airplane, in the depths of a mine, in darkness or in light, in the great city, or by one living alone in the wilderness—God, the infinite, all- knowing, eternal, loving God, is there. He is right at your side, reader. Turn to Him, count on Him, love Him, serve Him. III. God Searches Man’s Heart (w . 23, 24). Verse 3 of our psalm teaches that God searches the hearts of all men, but here we find the psalmist wisely inviting God to search his own heart. It is one thing to know a universal truth; it is another mat ter to make it personal. It is one thing to know that God, against my will, is pointing out to me the sin and rebellion of my heart; it is quite another thing.to open my heart vol untarily to His searching scrutiny. - Why did the Psalmist ask God to search him? That in trying his thoughts any wickedness might be revealed and put away. T hatisthe important point. It is not enough to know that sin is there. We must ask God to give us grace to put it out, that He may then lead us in the “way everlasting.” > The Word of God points the way' of righteousness in both heart and life. Who will decide this day to walk in that way—in fellowship with the all-knowing;^ ever-present Lord? AROUND th. HOUSE!

Yesterday morning at 3 o’clock, the residence of John H. Clement, on North Main street, was totally destroyed by fire. Only a small a- mount of furniture was saved. Darlington, Ind.—Noah Brock, 104 -year-old Confederate Civil War veteran, today abandoned support of the Democratic presidential can didate for the first time since i860 and declared bis intention to vote tor Wendell L. Willkie November Brock resides on a farm two miles north of here. Brock was born in 1836 in Davie county, near Winstcn Salem, N. C., and lived there until the outbreak of the Civil War, except for a short stay in Texas for his health. “Dad was the punv member of the fam ily,” Mrs Edith Brock, his daugh ter-in-law, chimed in. Mrs. Brock and Mrs. Mergaret Dorrell keep house for him. His wife and chil dren are all dead. A great-nephew of Brock, Joe Hampton Rich, lives in Winston- Salem. Two nieces, Mrs. George Sheek, and Mrs. J L. Sheek, live in Mocksville, and another niece, Mrs. Kimbrough Furcbes, lives iu Farmington township. Five ne phews'also survive, A. M. Kim brough, Mocksville,' J. A. Klm brougb, Winston-Salem; Joe Kim brough, Durham, and P. R. K.m. brougb. Atlanta. Brock last fall was made a member of the North Carolina chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. Brock voted for President Frank lin D. Roosevelt in 1932 and ^i 936 , but is strongly, opposed to the third term. He cast his first presiden tial vote for Stephen A. Douglas shortly before the start of the Civil War. Since that time he has sup ported such outstanding Democrat ic standard-bearers as Grover Cleve land, William J. Bryan, Woodrow Wilson and Alfred E. Smith. “Seventy.five thousand dollars is too much to pay a fisherman,” Brock commented with a sly twin fcle in his eye. “I think Mr. Roose velt has held the office long e- nough,” he added. Brock is a re* lative of former United States Sen ator William E. Brock, Democrat from Tennessee. When he celebrated his 104 th I a special invitation to a seat of bon jorat the Willkie notification in Elwood, Ind. The intense heat, however, compelled him to forego the-honor. Brock saw the white flag of sur render unfurled when General R E. Lee ordered the Confederate troops to cease fire on the Union soldiers of General Ulysses Grant. He served as lieutenant under Wil liam Henry Lee, son of the Con federate commander, and was per sonally acquainted with both men. Brock, who still walks a quarter of a mile each dav to get his mail, re ceived a tbigb wound in the battle of Gettysburg. Reminiscing through his many years, Brock recalled that his grand father fought in the Revolutionary War, and a grandson, Lee Painter, of Darlington, saw service in the World War. In spite of his age, Brock keeps abreast of the times via the newspapers. He is extreme ly concerned about the present war situation in Europe. He fears the United States will become involved. “I don’t think they will draft me for this war, though,” he slyly re marked. The elderly retired far mer still possesses a goodly crop of white hair and 18 of his own teeth. He smoked until he was 90 and de cided that was long enough Since then be has not touched tobacco in any form. When the Civil War broke out, Brock left Texas and enlisted in a Virginia company. He was a mem ber of the famed cavalry known as the "Buttermilk Rangers.” The Rangers operated in the vicinity of Richmond, Va., for ' tbe greater part of the war’s duration. He is the only surviving member of his company. At the close of the war, Brock returned to his father’s North Car olina 'plantation. However, the family lost ail its land, and the then young Brock set out for Indi ana. Here be worked by the month until be was able to acquire his own farm. He moved to his present home in 1892 . Brock’s eldest brother made a small fortune in the 1848 gold rash in California. Another brother fought on the Union side in the war. Another died of typhoid fe. ver in Richmond. Vs., during the war. His great hero is Robert E. Lee. His recipe for longevity is temper ance in all things and refusal to b£ worried by trivialities. He plans to exchange his present walking cane for a new one "when I get old.” Seen Along Mam Street Winston-Salem -Forsyth County Fair.

A Good Year. MooresviUe Enterprise. The part ot the west that has been under just storms, is yearly showing a gain in crop production that is tbe result of nature and man co-operating. The “dust bowl” is reclaimed and this year they produce a good wheat crop that speaks well for the cover crops and contour plowing. The trees that have been planted to form a protective belt is of benefit to the plains swept by dusty winds. This year the rainfall has bt;en helpful, but whether or not these new trees could stand a severe drought and would perish with the wheat, is a matter ot conjesture by farmers most concerned. Mighty glad that the dust bowl.makes ’couraging re port for this year’s crops. in all, it promises to be the finest outdoor entertainment program ev er featnred at any fair in this sec tion of the South.

It is best not to spend too much time thinking about the piigl.t of the people of Europe except as such thought relates to our own necessi ties and duties regarding home de>. fense and possible relief of suffer ing through tbe Red Cross or i.tber agencies. However, it is imposs ible not to feel the deepest concern Pi mgs dramatic accounts of raids over London and other places, ai d mag azines featnrc all kinds of w ar pic tures. If we are threatened with such war experience-, certainly we' should do everything possible to so strengthen our defense as to make that threat impossible of arcom plia ment. Our readiness will be our Vest hone against attack, and in cast- that hope should fail, our sure guarantee of victory. Con tinued peace for us will be Europe’s 1 hope for relief from suffering when the battle of Britain has been de cided one way or the other. We do not hear so much about that as about the air raids, but it must be that between tbe English blockade and the German war ac tivities multitudes are facing a scar city of food if not actual starva tion. Ambassador Cudahy’s state ment that Belgium will be facing famine conditions in a few months is in no way surprising under the circumstances. The report that thousands of dairy cattle are being shipped from Denmark to the slau gbter pens of Germany because the blockade is preventing shipments of feed for them suggest what may be the condition of that country and others whose chief source of in come is butter and cheese. This is only one industry that is being vitally affected by war and the blockade. No doubt there are oth ers. While the war is going on, there is perhaps little we can do for those sorely distressed coun tries, but if we can maintain peace we could do much when at last the war is over.

L I D A L A R R I M O R E i— - Je MACRAB SMITH C a WHU SERVICE CHAPTER XIV—Continued —51—“And with all of those deeds your mother has tied you to her for the rest of your lives, you, John, and Sarah, at least,” interrupted Gay. “Oh, of course she’s beep splendid. I mean that sincerely. But it’s a sort of selfishness, too. She resents me because I can do things for you which she can’t. She’s afraid of me, for you, for your work, for Deb- by, mainly because she wants to be the source of all giving, like God, like—”“You’re uncharitable, Gay.” “I’m honest. I’ve seen. If I weren’t Gabriella Graham, if I had no money, she would welcome me for your sake. I being who I am, she fears and resents me.” “Lack of security breeds fear. When you are obliged to consider the possible result of every move you make, you are cautious.” “You’re afraid, too,” she !said, barely audibly, as though the words had been forced through her lips. “You don’t trust me.” He turned to look at her misera bly.“You needn’t tell me. I know.” Her voice steadied. “The things I’ve been thinking are true, the things I thought tonight while I was waiting here for you.”“What things, Gay?” “That it isn’t possible. We hurt each other. Love isn’t enough.” “Oh, Gay! I do love you!” His arms reached for her. Passion flamed through the dark misery in his eyes. “I adore you. Since I first met you, when you were fif teen years old, I’ve worshiped you.” "No! Don’t touch me!” She slipped away from the sofa, went to stand, leaning, against the wing- chair beside the hearth. He half rose to follow her, dropped back, sat with shoulders drooping, his hands swinging between his knees. “It’s just biology, isn’t it?” she asked with a little brittle laugh. “I hoped there was more than that. I had the naive notion that biology was only a part of it, that there could be companionship, too, and faith and security.”“Gay—!” He groaned. “I’m beginning to understand. No, not that. I guess I’ve known but I wouldn’t admit it. Do you remem ber Christmas Eve in New York when Suki announced callers? You asked me what you should say to them. I think I asked you what you said to me. You said ‘I tell you I love you.’ That’s the only thing we can say to each other without quarreling. What will we talk about .when—?”■ “But if—when we’re together, we won’t be here or in New York. There won’t be people getting in the Way, your family, mine—”“I’ve told myself that, but it isn’t true. We can’t escape our environ ments. We’ll take them with us wherever we go. We’U quarrel and make up and quarrel again, but each quarrel will leave a scar. Let’s not spoil it, John.” He started up from the sofa. “Gay! Do you mean—?” he asked hoarsely. • She held him off with an instinctive gesture. “Uncle John may have known,” she said steadily, her hands grasping the back of the chair. “But he was—dying. We must live, John, you and I. We can’t let something that was beautiful become tarnished 'and scarred. Let’s stop hurting each other. Let’s end it now, neatly and definitely.” He stood beside her, at a little distance, his lips moving, his eyes searching her face. She glanced away.“Do you want to do that?” he asked quietly.“Yes—” Her reply was as con trolled as his question had been. “I want to go home tomorrow and start -to forget you. It will be difficult but I’ll manage it. You forget anything, don’t you, in time?”“Do you mean that? Look at me. Gay.” Her head turned. She looked up at him through a film of tears.“I mean it—” Her voice faltered. Clinging to the back of the chair, 6 he swayed as though her strength was gone.He caught her, held her. For an instant they clung together, urgently, despairingly, then she broke away. “That doesn’t change anything, John.”“Doesn’t it? Oh, can’t we, Gay? I love you so.” His arms held her again. Her face, streaming with tears, lifted to his face. “When I’m with you like this —Darling! How can we? I don’t know . . .” \ CHAPTER XV / Kate sat up straight in the chair beside the long triple window in Kit ty Cameron’s drawing-room and Ciiosed the book she had been read ing as Gay and Todd came into the room.“Hello,” she said, removing her reading glasses.“Hello.” Gay returned her greeting cheerfully.“Hello, Kate,” Todd said smiling. Kate’s keen eyes regarded them speculatively. “Where have you been?” she asked. “Driving in Connecticut.” Gay dropped into the chair opposite Kate’s. “It’s a heavenly day.” “Grand. Summer at last.” Todd stood beside' Gay's chair, looking especially handsome, Kate thought, in a light flannel suit and a green shirt with a darker green tie which accented the lights in his hazel eyes. “What are you reading, the dictionary?”“Anthony Adverse. Since I can no longer get a kick out of telling people I haven’t read it, I thought I might as well. But riding in Connecticut.” Kate’s eyebrow lifted. “Aren’t you working these days?” “This wah business.” Todd grinned at Kate with a light-hearted air which raised the eyebrow higher. “An estate the bank may risk a mortgage on. We were looking it over.”“Gay must have been a great help,” Kate said dryly.“Moral support,” Gay said, smiling. “I’ve got to run along,” Todd said. “Will eight be too early. Gay?” “Just about right, I should say.” Gay smiled lazily up at Todd. “Tell your Dad I think it’s a safe risk, except that the well-sweep, though picturesque, is a fake.”“I’ll remember that.” Todd start ed toward the door. “ ’Bye, Kate. Good-by, Gay. See you at eight.” “You should learn to control your voice, Todd.” “What big ears you have, Katie. ’Bye. Eight o’clock, Gay. Don’t move. You look too comfortable. I think I can find my way out.”His footsteps sounded along the hall. The grill of the lift slurred and clicked. Kate looked at Gay leaning back In the chair beside the windows.“Hats are getting crazier and crazier,” she said.“Yes, aren’t they?” Gay pulled oS the scrap of straw to which Kate referred. , “That one looks like a fez without the tassel. Are you a Shriner?” “No, I’m an elk. Didn’t you know?” Gay spun the hat on her forefinger. “Any word from Moth er?” “None. You’re going out for dinner?” “Yes. And dancing afterwards.” “Well, thanks for this fleeting glimpse of you.” “Do you mind? I won't go if you do. I know I haven’t been home with you much and it was nice of you to come in and stay with me while KitW and Robert are away.” “Go on. I don’t mind. I have Anthony here for company. Quite a lad, too, I’ve gathered from the portion I’ve read thus far.”“Do you mind, really? You sound—”“Oh, go on." Kate regarded Gay in silence for a moment. Then, “I suppose you know what you’re do ing?” she said. “What do you mean?” Gay’s glance turned to the windows through which showed a glimpse of blue sky and early June sunlight.“You know what I mean. Don’t pretend that you don’t.” “Todd understands.”“If he does, it’s more than I do. You break your engagement, upset the entire family, and then you proceed to spend a part of every day with him.”“Don’t scold me when I’m cheer ful. Todd and I are just very good friends.”“Which, I suppose, is the reason he comes in here fairly dripping moonlight and roses. There’s nothing like a good friend to put a song in the voice and a shine in the eyes.” “There’s no pleasing you.” Gay laughed. “When I stayed at home you urged me to go' out. Now that I’m following your advice, you scold me.”“You have no sense of proportion. You either act like a hibernating ground-hog or a slightly intoxicated moth. You’re ' going too hard.” Kate’s brows drew together in a frown. “You’re so thin you scarcely cast a shadow and your eyes are too big for your face.” “It makes me interesting look ing.”“Oh, nonsense I I don’t like what you’re doing to Todd.” “That should be Todd’s concern, shouldn’t it?” “I know. You needn’t tell me. None of my business." “I’m sorry, Kate. It’s all right. Todd has gotten all over being in love with me.” Kate looked at her with an expression of studied derision which did not conceal the concern in her eyes. “I suppose you think it’s charming modesty to pretend that he isn’t more, in love with you than ever.” Kate waited, then burst out. “.What has happened? What about John?” “Nothing.” Gay’s eyes fell from Kate's anxious face to the hat in her lap. “Excuse me. I’ve wondered, but you’ve been so stately that I haven’t dared to ask questions. “Have you—?” “Nothing, really. I hear from him. He’s well and busy. There’s a chance of his getting the sort of work he wants in Boston. He isn’t particularly interested in general practice and the doctor for whom he has been substituting has returned. I ought to start to dress if I'm going out. We’re having dinner at the Heron Club. The food isn’t much but the music is good. Denny O’Con nor is there again. I adore his songs.” “That’s right. Change the sub ject. Has something happened? I was afraid—” "You were right. It isn’t, it hasn’t worked out.” Gay lifted shadowed eyes dark with pain which contra dicted the half-smile trembling across her lips. “ ‘East is east and west is west,’ as Mr. Kipling pointed out. What’s that about the rich young man and the camel and the “We could go away, now, tonight, down into Maryland.” needle’s eye? You, with your rectory- training, should understand. It applies to young ladies who have too much money, as well.” She sagged down in the chair, her hands falling in a gesture of hopelessness. “I’m so tired, Kate.” “Don’t go out. Go to bed. I’U bring you something on a tray.” She sat erect, forcing animation into her gestures, her voice, her smile. “I want to go. When I’m dancing, where there are people—" She sprang up from the chair. “Oh, how I hate good times!” ' “GayI” Kate rose and went to her. “There’s no sense in this, you know. Go to bed. You’re as white as chalk.” Gay stood by the windows look ing out into the clear atmosphere still bright with the after-glow of the sun. “June,” she said, barely audibly. “It’s lovely at the cabin now. There are wild strawberries in the meadow across the road and the ferns are uncurling along the lane.” “I wish you’d never seen the cab in!” “Do you? I don’t. I wouldn’t have missed it. I’m grateful—” “You’re half sick, Gay,” Kate cried desperately. “Please go to bed.” ‘Tm going out to dance.” She turned from the windows, not look ing at Kate. “If it takes the rain to make the pretty flowers,” she sang a little off-key. “Have you heard Denny O’Connor? He’s marvelous.” “Well, if that’s a sample—”“Are you criticizing my voice?” She swayed toward Kate, dropped her head against Kate’s shoulder. “It just takes time, doesn’t it? Kate, how much time does it take?” The music stopped. Todd led Gay to the seat against the wall upholstered in peacock-blue leather."Are you having fun?" He seated lfimself beside, her. “Has anything happened since this afternoon?” “I am.” -She turned to smile at him brightly. “No, nothing has happened, Wby do you ask?” • "You’re so quiet. I thought you enjoyed this afternoon." “I did.” She raised her glass “Did you tell your Dad that we thought the property was a pretty good risk?” “You’re unhappy, Gay.” “That’s very ungrateful of me. When a gentleman takes a lady dancing the least she can do is to be bright and merry.” “I don’t care about that.” Todd’s face above the conventional black and white of his dinner clothes was very grave. “Is there anything I can do?” She was silent for a moment. Then, “I must do it myself,” she said, slo-zly, listlessly. “I should have made it a clean break three months ago. I’ve always disBked loose ends.” “Gay—” He bent toward her. “Do you think of what I told you, of what I’ve been telling you all spring?” “Very often.” Her glance lifted, then fell to the table. Her fingers twirled the slender stem of the glass. “Will you?" he asked very low. Her eyes lifted again, met his eyes steadily. “I couldn’t do that to you, Todd.” “But if Tm willing to take a chance—” “We’ll neither of us have any peace,” she said thoughtfully, “un til — He, John —” She paused, glanced away. “You know that you can talk of him to me.” “Yes, I know. You’ve been—". Her voice faltered. “I can’t tell’ you.” “You do—like me, Gay?” “You are my best and my dearest friend.” “Then why not? You say that he, that John, half expects it. Wouldn’t it be the. most simple solution? We could, go away, now, tonight, down into Maryland. You can’t keep on like this. You’re making yourself ill. I know you love him. But you love me, too, in a different way. And if he’s—” “It would be a simple solution for him, for me, too, perhaps. But you, Todd? You’re too fine to have any thing but the best. You’d be sacrificing yourself—” “To have you, even the part of you that has always belonged to me? That’s not a sacrifice. It’s pure selfishness, Gay. I’m conceited enough to think that in. time—” “And you’re probably right. I don’t know—” “We’ve always come together again, after either of us has— strayed.” He smiled. “You remem ber when I was pretty crazy about Julie? I woke up one morning while visiting her in Charleston, and couldn’t wait to get back to you. I had myself all primed for abase ments and declarations and when I burst in on you at Southampton all' you said was, ‘Go change your clothes, Todd. We’re sailing, in a race this afternoon.’ ” “I remember.” A faint, reflection of his smile curved her lips. Encouraged by the smile, he went on eagerly, persuasively. “And when you were running a temperature about that aviator— What was his name?" (TOBECONTtNVED) G reat Lakes A rea Yields V aluable D ata on Indians Indians had a feast on the beach of an island in Lake Huron at some time between 500 and 800 A. D. The fact that this feast was held, how ever, is not nearly as important a* the fact that there were Indians in the Great Lakes region from 1,10Q to 1,400 years ago. Until recently no definite evidence had ever been produced to prove that there were human inhabitants of this area at such an early date. Searching for early Indian data on Great Cloche island, just north of Manitoulin island in the Georgian bay region, Dr. E. F. Greenman, University of Michigan archeologist, discovered the remains of this an cient Indian meal. Later Dr. Greenman returned to the island with Dr. George M. Stanley, Michigan geologist, to determine the age of the find. Evidence that Indians held sucn a feast on the beach of Great Clodie island consists of the discolored sand and stones on which their fires wen built, scraps of foreign flint and quartz, and bones of fish and animals which made up their meal. Evidently the meal consisted ei moose, deer, beaver, sturgeon and another unidentified type of fish. The beach on which, .the Indians ate'their meal, now 28 feet above the water of Lake Huron, says Dr. Stanley, .was on the water levs, when the red men visited the Mend hundreds of years ago. _ •.

Towels may be found in the bathroom, napkins in the pantry or kitchen and bed linens near the bed rooms.I have sketched the whole story here of how one homemaker keeps her linen shelves in order. She likes to keep things in sets iden tified with colored bands and thinks it is more efficient to roll many pieces than to fold them.- The best napkins may be banded in blue and white, luncheon mats may be rolled on a red stick with a red band and green may be used for the bridge table cloth. Linen holders like these would make at tractive gifts, too. And speaking of shelves and drawers; girls adore the stocking case in Book 3, and the drawer pads in Book 4; and they make dainty gifts for any one. The table cloth case in Book 2 is another good linen closet idea.

Although he weighs 200 pounds, Mr. Setaiick was always light on his feet. He is a second generation producer, but he started from scratch, after his father, L. J. Selz- nick, a Russian immigrant, had made and lost millions in the film business. Wlien David was 21, his father had tried to fill some inside straights, without any luck and the young man had a one-dollar bill, with which to start his career, plus some schooling in movie-making and his old man’s yen for taking a chance. He saw possibilities in Luis Angel Firpo for a profitable quickie. He pencilled out a plot, borrowed $2,000 from a friend, paid Firpo $1,008, took a few shorts of the Wild Bull of the Pampas and within three days took a profit of $875 on bis film. He went on from there to his gallery of the classics, including “The Tale of Two Cities,” “Da vid Copperfield,” “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” “The Prisoner of Zenda,” and “Tom Sawyer.” In Russia, the family name was Zeleznick. Zeleznick pere left home at 12, met disillusionment as a hard- driven factory hand in England, and found his slice of the American dream waiting for him when he landed here, as a jeweler, banker, promoter and film-producer. AU this, and his own venturesome ca reer, has made the younger Selz- nick eager to film America only as a going concern. Six feet, one, muscular and energetic, he has a placid face rarely caught in a frown—un less somebody teUs him that “Rebecca” was a better film than “Wind.” That burns him up. THE Nizam of Hyderabad is said to be the richest man in the world, but he gets his shoes half soled three or four times and wears . . . r n > , „ patched cloth- N tzam Is W orld’s ing Hence, Richest M an, Y et his gift of Paragon o f T hrift WOOO to the British to buy American planes is a gesture some what like that of the late Hetty Green suddenly buying somebody a drink—and she never drank. As his fortune is rated around $2,000 ,- 000 ,000 , the gift represents a simi lar strain on his resources. The Nizam, a pale, bent, nervous little man, worried and watchful, lives in splendor, but his sometimes fabulous expenditures are for requirements of state. Although he has 400 up-to-date automobiles, he rides in a 26-year-old car and frequently walks quite a -distance to save gas. For ceremonial journeys he keeps a train steamed up, with 22 pullmans needed to accommodate his entourage. This writer never cotdd get it quite straight as to how many men the Nizam could bury in diamonds. Estimates vary from four to seven. At any rate, there are always “men working” signs around his palace, as his diamonds, emeralds, rubies and gold-pieces are being shoveled this way and that. He fusses a lot about just where and how his treasure is stored, and is al ways adding it up and shifting it somewhere else. In 1926, the British were worried about signs of unrest among the Mohammedan potentate’s 15,000,000 subjects. There were reports that he was becoming autocratic, and if anyone drove up in a car he lilted, he might add it to his collection. The viceroy interfered and certain controls were set up which seemed to settle everything nicely.The thrifty Nizam has a playboy son, Prince Nawab Azam Jah, who thinks his father makes a mistake, like old Fafnir, in just sitting on his gold. He is firm in the belief that his pater’s wealth ought to be out in circulation. In the World war, the Nizam was supposed to be a laggard in . empire co-operation at first, but at the time of the U-boat crisis suddenly made generous contri butions to defense. He has 50 palaces, a splendid seraglio, and is reported to have about 100 sons and daughters.

F o r there’ll be three days when it will be th e Only c ity in th e U n ite d States w ithout an autom obile, truck, m otorcycle or even a gasoline scooter on its streets. And it’s all because of the movies. "Arizona” will have what’s known in the trade as its world premier •in Tucson, and the city is planning quite a celebration—a governor’s state ball, a three-day 1860 fiesta in the adobe city of Tucson, built for the picture, a rodeo with nation al roping and riding stars, and In dian’ pow-wows. Jean Arthur, William Holden, Warren William and all other members of the cast will be specially honored. Some of the best stories about a movie are not heard until it is fin ished and the principals have gone on to other pictures. Here’s one. Arriving at the set for “He Stayed for Breakfast,” Columbia’s new comedy starring Loretta Voung and MeIvyn Douglas, visitors found the set barred to outsiders. They were MELVVN DOUGLAS told that the piajers were working in an extremely small space where it would be impossible to watch.Tbe real reason,, disclosed later, was that DOugIas was working in a woman’s dressing gown. “I’ll look silly enough on the screen,” he explained, when asking that the set be closed. When you see Hedy Lamarr and Clark Gable in “Comrade X” don’t be ,puzzled if the story seems familiar. It’s “Clear AU Wires,” which Spencer Tracy made Severn years ago. The story of an American newspaper man’s adventures in Russia, it’s been rewritten to include incidents in the recent Soviet mili tary ventures. Gable draws it as an assignment instead of “Osborne of Sing Sing,” which he didn’t like anyway. /!C- ■ June McCIoy may win a bet with her husband if you like her weU enough in “Glamour for Sale,” in which she has the second feminine lead. Nine years ago she left Holly wood to make a name for herself as a night club singer, and succeeded. In 1936 she married and retired. Now she wants to return to the screen; she’s bet her husband that she can make good within six months; if she can’t, she’ll go back to being just a Wife. So she’s work ing now in the picture starring Anita Louise and Roger Pryor. She has a chance at her specialty—she sings a torch song. But so does Anita Louise.. Denis Day became singing star of the Jack Benny show because an inflamed appendix kept him out of law school. An honor graduate of Manhattan coUege in New York, Eugene Denis McNulty won a scholarship that entitled him to try city government work . for several months. He chose radio, and was doing production work at the city’s broadcasting station, pending his en try to law school, when the appendix interfered just as his law classes were about to begin. When he got out of the hospital it was to enter law school that year. He turned again to radio, got onto a sustaining program, and made, a recording which Jack Benny’s agent heard. He was summoned to Hollywood; Benny was looking for a tenor to re place Kenny Baker, you’ll remember, and they were auditioning literally by the hundreds. At the last minute young McNulty got the job, became Denis Day, and began carv. ing out a nice career for himself. ■— $— ODDS AND ENDS C Jon Roll recently celebrated three year » jo/ sitting in the'same chair at the CBS Star Theater broadcasts .

Is the tea party the thing of the past? I sincerely hope not because there is nothing quite so comfy and relaxing as a good cup of tea. And you can make it even more delight ful by sharing it with a few of your friends. The tea hour may be the time to become utterly feminine, with lazy discussions on the fashions of the day, the latest movie, and even tales of - cute say ings of Johnnie and Mary Jane.Or it may be enlarged with mas culinity, with the trend of the conversation leaning more, toward cur rent events, politics, books and even the arts. A tea party is one of the sim plest methods of entertaining, because even though your resources may be limited, you can ask a few friends to drop in for tea. I have a friend who quite often gives teas on Sunday afternoons. They are highly successful, not be cause of her lovely silverware or china, (because here I must confess that most of her china does not even match); they are successful rather, because her friends gather for the pleasure of chatting with one an other. Conversation flies fast' and furiously—but the group is held to gether by one common bond, the tea cup. The most meager necessities would include a tea tray, on which the tea set and napkins are placed, a table from which to serve the tea, glistening china, and well-polished silver.If the party is small you may, as hostess, pour the tea, asking the guests to help themselves to cream or lemon and sugar. If it is a larger party and it is necessary for you to constantly greet your guests as they arrive, ask one of your friends to preside at the tea table for you. The tea that is served must be good. It not only must be fresh, but must be hot to be palatable and soothing. If the weather is. warm you may like to serve both hot and iced tea. Serve the iced tea in tall glasses which have been chilled prior to serving. Sliced lemon and powdered sugar are necessary ac cessories for iced tea. Place the ice cubes in an attractive ice bucket with the ice tongs near by. As an added bit of color and flavor, gar nish the completed beverage with sprigs of fresh, cool mint. Dainty sandwiches, hot buttered toast, thin slivers of cinnamon toast and small English muffins are ap propriate to serve with tea. Popular accompaniments to tea are sandwiches made from nut bread, sliced very thin, and buttered.You may tike to use some of the suggested accompaniments for your next tea party, to give you that much sought-after distinction as a discriminating hostess. Hot Tea. Rinse teapot with boiling water. Allow I teaspoon of tea for each cup and “one for the pot.” Place tea in teapot, and pour freshly boiling water over tea leaves. Cover and allow tea-to steep 3 to 5 minutes, as desired. Remove ball or bag con taining the leaves, and serve at once. Chicken Sandwiches With Cranberry Sance. Right here and now we put in our plea for revolt against chicken sand wiches that are bone dry! Have you tried putting a thin slice of canned cranberry sauce in with the chick en? We eat cranberry sauce with chicken when it’s served on a plate. Why not in a sandwich?

THE YOICE OF WISDOM LESSON TEXT-Proverbs 4:10-27.GOLDEN TEXT—Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.—Proverbs 4:23. - What to do and how to do it— these are the vital things which the book of Proverbs imparts. It deals with every condition of life, good and bad, in the revealing tight of God’s holiness and love. Good ad vice may have its value, but we also need to know how to put it into practice. Therein, is wisdom dis tinguished from knowledge. A man may have an unbelievably great store of knowledge, and yet be a foolish man because he - does not have the wisdom to use it.Knowing that these notes are used by a great many boys and girls, as well as by their teachers, the writer would suggest an outline for next Simday which can be remembered by everyone who has ever crossed a railroad track. What does the warning sign say? “Stop, Look, and Listen.” Then what? If all is clear, go ahead. That is just what our lesson tells us. Stop, for someone has a message for you; look, at the two ways of life; listen, to the wise words of counsel. Then go straight ahead in the right way. I. Stop (w. 10-13). Life moves on at a rapid pace. One of the devices of the devil to gain and keep his hold on us is to keep things moving so fast that we never stop to think, or to heed the counsel of others. The wise man has something of importance to say to the young man whom he calls his “son.” Let us stop and give heed to his warning, for we are assured that it will mean for us a long and happy life (w. 10 , 12). Nobody but a fool would hasten past such a “stop” signal, nor thrust aside this opportunity for life-giving instruction (v. 13). Here is some thing far more important than mathematics, literature, or econom ics. Here is life. D. Look (w. 14-19). There are really only two ways of life—“the path of the just . . . that shineth more and more unto the per fect day” (v. 18), and “the way of the wicked,” which is only darkness and stumbling (v. 19). There is no middle way. We cannot walk in both paths; it is “either—or.” Young people should get hold of that fact, for in these days there is a constant attempt to blur the colors, making things neither black nor white, but gray; neither good nor bad, but just advisable or inadvisable. The moral laws of God are not changed; right is still and will eter nally be right, just as wrong is and always will be wrong. Wickedness is so wrong that it causes men to spend sleepless nights trying to entrap others (v. 16). But no one need go that way; just do not “enter” that path, “avoid it,” and if by chance you have wandered into it, “turn from it” (v. 15). God will help you. III. Listen (w. 20-25). Listening is important business,calling for real attention and appli cation. Especially is that true as one listens to the truth of God. It should be received by an attentive car (v. 20), kept before one’s eyes, and pondered in the heart (v. 21 ). Buch listening is sure to bring re sults, and we find them enumerated in verses 22 to 25. Life is assured to those who heed the words of God’s messenger; not just a bare existence, but a healthy life (v. 22). God’s spiritual children are not (or at least should not' be) invalids or weaklings. yKeeping the heart right (y. 23) keeps the whole life right, and the way to be sure that the heart is right is to fill it with God’s Word (v. 21). Then see how the whole life responds; the lips speak no for ward (R. V. wayward) or preverse words, and the eyes look straight ahead along the shining path of die just. Now that we have stopped to give attention to the Lord’s word through His messenger, and looked carefully at the two ways of life, and lis tened to words of wisdom and guid ance, what comes next? Do we stand idly by and commend ourselves for our wisdom, or do we sit down and take our ease? No. Being assured that the way is clear, we IV. Go Ahead.(w. 26, 27). God wants His people to move on to greater glory and usefulness. At the Red sea, God told Moses, “Speak unto the chtidren'of Israel that they go forward.”“Move .YorwaTdl. valiant men and strong, Ye who have prayed and labored long; Tbe time has come for you to rise, For lot the sun rolls up the skies/*' Thoughtful, vigilant, lest he be led into a bypath on. the right or left, turning his feet away from every evil path, the child of God goes forward, and as he goes the road be comes brighter and brighter with the glory of the presence of the. Lord, shining more and more until that perfect day when he shall find himself at the end of his journey and at home forevermore in the Father’s house. M • f " *+..........

This version (Design No. 1962-B) is ideal for women’s figures, be cause it has a high-busted, nar row-hipped tine. And that perfection of tine is achieved so simply— merely by means of long darts that narrow the waistline and break into soft fullness above and below. Gathers on the shoulders are the only other detailing. The rest is just long, straight seams. You can judge, therefore, how easy this dress is to make.

WENDELL WILLKIE MAN OF ACTION R epublican Candidate for President, Like Thom as Jefferson, H as Wide Interests. In the two and one-half months since his unprecedented and spec tacular nomination for the Presi dency, by the Republican National Convention, Wendell WiIlkie has demonstrated to the country his dy namic personality and driving energy as well as his quick and clear mind. Few men have ever been nomi nated for the Presidency who have as wide and universal an interest in many fields of endeavor as Wendell Willkie. In that respect he has been compared to Thomas Jefferson who was as well versed in architecture as he was in the law—knew as much about farming as he did about political philosophy. Bom 48 years ago in the small town of Elwood, Indiana, Wendell Willkie was educated for the law. But before he received his degree in that profession, he taught history in th e high school a t Coffeyville, Kan s a s ; drove a bakery wagon; worked a s a barker for a tent hotel in Aber d e e n , South Dakota, a s a field hand in harvesting wheat in Oklahoma and as a laborer in California. He has labored in steel mills and sugar fields. Once embarked on the practice of law, Wendell Willkie defended labor unions with his father; enlisted in the army the day this country declared war on Germany i* 1917; be came a lawyer for a rubber company; and finally went to New York, first as counsel for Commonwealth and Southern Corporation and then, when the sick company needed resuscitation, as its president. Even critical New Dealers always have paid tribute to Willkie’s candor, honesty and ability. Nurtured in a home filled with books, Wendell Willkie throughout his life has been a constant reader of books—all kinds of books. He reads rapidly and, with a photo- graphic-like mind, retains what he has read. He demonstrated his rich background of. information on the “Information Please” programs on the air and in motion pictures. He is a qualified authority on English Constitutional history and writes much better than many professional writers. Had he not been a great lawyer, he would have been an o u t standing newspaperman..Though Willkie has sat among the great and learned, he has never Iaet his touch with his Indiana origte. Though he likes books, he likes peo ple more. He is as much at home in conversation with a truck driver or farm laborer as he is with an in dustrial tycoon or college President. Typical of the man is the fact that his faith in American agriculture is so great that he placed the savings from his salary in Indiana farm land. Operating these farms on a 50-50, basis with tenants, Willkie now knows as much about farming as he does about law. Indeed, like the Roman of old, Willkie might say “nothing human is foreign to me.” But that thought would never occur to' Willkie because he believes that when a man commences to compare himself to > Cicero or Napoleon, people had bet ter look out for him. Asks Flood Control For Yadkin River. Senator Josiah W. Bailey, at Wash ington; has served notice that he will vigorously seek enactment of a long- delayed flood control program in northwest North Carolina. Authority has been pending for two years for the construction of a flood control dam on the Yadkin river just above North Wilkesboro. where flood damage was most se vere, Bailey disclosed. Despite this authorization, he said, it has not been possible to secure the necessary appropriation which might have pre vented much of the flood’s tool of life and property. “The recent floods calls attention afresh to the urgent need for a flood control program on the Roanoke and Yadkin rivers and a number of streamh in Western Carolina.” the senior North Carolina Senator stat ed. Bailey, who is chairman of the Senate commerce committee which handles flood control legislation, reported that both the Yadkin and Roa noke rivers have been surveyed by army engineers and that report on needed dams and other flood control works have already been submitted. Some army engineers, Bailey said have discounted the urgency of these proprosed works, saving that a few large cities were threatened by po tential floods. The recent flood, however, gives ample testimony to the danger and destruction that can be wrought again unless action is taken. Asserting that he has been discour aged by the delay in securing ad ministration and congressional ap proval for a flood control program, Senator Bailey said he was deter mined to press forward with the leg islation in the hope of obtaining ac tion at this session of congress.— Union Republican.

He is not oulling his punches. The blows are properly timed and aimed, and they are landing full on the Broughton chin. The G. O. P. nominee is not let ting the Raleigh man rest one bit over that challenge and he is tell ing the people some of < he reasons why Broughton will not meet him in joint debate. Hcw the Brough ton forces got Maxwtll fo urge that there be no second prima’y and how they got to Hoiton and bad him withdraw from the race so that Broughton might be nominated will make interesting reading matter once this campaign iea1 Iy gets hot. Broughton would be asked, if there were a joint debate, to ex piain these little details of winning the Democratic nomination. And since he will not explain himself, perhaps McNeill will tell how it happened. Broughton might be asked to ex plain bow he, such an ardent dry and leading churchman, can stifle his conscience to assume the lead ership of North Carolina’s “wet” party. But in politics, vou know, aspirants to office have a way of leaping over such hurdles. Broughton might be asked to tell the people abaat the reckless waste in expenditures, where the money goes to and whv the tremendous increase in expenses in running the state government. Broughton might be asked to ex plain why there should still be wrung from the poor people’s pock ets the sales tax of about $12 ,0 0 0 ,- 00 0 , while the state treasury shows a surplus of $8,0 0 0 ,00 0 .. Why should this oppressive tax still be levied and collected. Broughton might be asked why two Democratic Legislatures have refused to carry out the mandate of the people at the’ballot box to put into effect the homestead ex emptions for the relief of farmers while at the same time taking care of the pocketbooks of the rich wbo can buy stocks and bonds. And there are many other things McNeill would, ask Broughton to explain. But Broughton continues to run away from him and shields himself behind that flimsy old ex cuse ’'you want me to draw the crowds for you.” But he will hear about'them any way if he will read the newspaper accounts of the McNeill speeches— that is if the Democratic dailies will print the reports of bis campaign— Union Republican.

(Cy James Preston) Like Banquo’s ghost, sins of the past have come back to haunt a number of Washingtonians. The ghost spends most of ils time hang ing around headquarters of the new buieaus and boards and commis sions which regulate everything from what a farmer plants to wages paid a clerk. . The haunted agencies are mostly new ones. They were set up to ad minister new laws. The officials read the laws a couple of times and reached a parculiar conclusion. That they had the power to do nearly anything that the law did not specially forbid them to do. Take the Labor Board as an ex ample. It had the authority under the law to direct employers to te a m men whom they E ie’nt have fire didn’t say anything about for cing employers to hire men wbo had never worked for them. Yet the Board has tried to do just that. Itinstructedonecompanyin New Ecgland to put on the pay rolls and give two year's back pay to men who never bad who wot ked for the company. It even tried once to force another compin'- to hire the son of a man who wot ked tor the company. The Boatd con tended in this second case that if the crompany did not give the job to the youngster, it would be dis criminating against his father be cause the father happeued to be long to a union. Several other agencies have done much the same .thing. And now the ghost has arrived. The ghost is the so-called Walter- Logan bill. It would establish pro cedure under which courts could determine whether these agencies in their rules and regulations and orders had exceeded the' power which Congress sought to. grant to them. That is all it means. That the rules and orders and regula tions could be taken into courts for a ruling as to whether they went too far. It would be natural to assume that only those who feared they might have gone too far would be afraid of the ghost. But today, one of Washington’s stiffest lobby ing campaigns is conducted on Capitol Hill by government agen cies to assume more and more authority. Now the bill is nearing Congres sional action. It has been approv. ed by the Judiciary committee of both th e Senate and the House. And it will get to a vote on both branches—unless th e frightened bureaucrats succeed in fighting it off. _______• « PRINTING >> to Order at Our PRINT SHOP THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N.

WlNtt* V\»N ,«Vhlto*”» o a C aD in A R R I M O R E© MACRAE SMJTH CO. WNU SERVICE CHAPIEB XV—Conttaraed “Jerry Conover.” Gay’s smile deepened. She leaned back against the leather upholstery, looking out across the dance floor where couples circled in .a wash of artfully mellowed light."You called me up one day and asked me to take you dancing,” con tinued Todd. “Because he was magnificent in the sky but no use at all on a dance floor. And you took me. As I remember the subject of aviation was never mentioned between us. Not for six months, at least Yes, all that’s true,” she added thoughtfully. “We’d have something—” “A great deal. I'd try not to be too much in evidence. You could consider me a part of the landscape, until—” /"Todd!” she cried in soft protest. She turned to -look at him, her eyes shadowed, thoughtful, a half-smile trembling across her lips. The music had stopped. It began again, a familiar tune. A voice, meltingly tender, sang—“Red sails in the sunset Far out on the sea—” Their eyes met.“Our tune. You bribed them to play it When you spoke to the waiter a few minutes ago—”“All’s fair in—” He smiled with a twinkle in his hazel eyes.. “Will you dance with me, Gay?” In silence they walked to the edge of the floor. She slipped into his arms, so accustomed to his dancing technique that her position, her steps, conformed instinctively with his. They circled out across the floor, rhythmically, with practiced ease, moving as though they were one person, her red-brown head close to his blond head, her dress of cream-colored lace, starched to crispness, as fragile as frost-work, a delicate silhouette against the black of bis evening clothes. “That’s the way it is with us, Gay,” he said after a moment. “No false starts, no stepping on each other’s toes, no necessity for apologies.” “I’d rather dance with you than anyone. But life isn’t all dancing, Todd.” “Dancing is a symbol. We understand each other." Her head turned, drew a little away so that she could look at him. His eyes met hers steadily. “There’d be sailing and dancing,” he said gently. “Friends, a home, children, if you want them, friend ship. They’re good things, Gay.” “Very good things, Todd. But are they enough—for you?” “I told you, I’m conceited.” He smiled.“You’re a darling.” “Will you, Gay?” “I’ll think—I’ll try—I’U see” . . . Gay’s evening wrap slipped from her shoulders, fell to the floor. She walked across to the desk between the windows. When you killed a thing, you killed it quickly. She seated herself, selected a sheet of note paper, drew the pen from its holder.“John, darling” The pen moved steadily across the sheet of cream- colored paper, beneath the engraved address of her mother’s apartment.“We have hurt each other too much and too often. It isn’t your fault or mine. I love you. I have tried as you have tried, but trying does no good. I’m going to marry Todd, very soon, by the time you receive this, perhaps, we will have been married. He understands, as you must and will. There can he no peace for either you or me while we continue to fight something that is too. big for us, something which we cannot alter or control. I want peace for you, for myself. You will find it in y>ur work. I will find it, eventually, in the life which Todd and I, together, will cre ate. Don’t be bitter of self-reproach- ful. I don’t regret having loved you. You must not regret what has happened. Keep the memories of the happy times we’ve had and forget the others . . . ” The pen came to a stop. She read what she had written. It seemed adequate. There was nothing to add except he? name. She wrote it quickly, folded the sheet .of note-paper, enclosed it fit an envelope, found a stamp. “Dr. John L. Houghton,” Dr. Sargeant’s Cddress in Portland. Her writing was clear, each letter distinct and carefully formed. It betrayed no sign of emotion. She was glad of that. There was nothing to indicate hesitancy.She glanced at the clock on the night stand beside her bed. Better to mail it now than to wait , until morning. She rose, stooped, picked up her evening wrap.. Standing before the mirror, she slipped it on, secured the fastenings With delib eration and smoothed back her hair. When she turned, she saw the letter, a cream-colored oblong on dark desk pad. She returned to the desk, stood for an instant holding the letter in her hand, then, moving swiftly and quietly, went out of the room. The night doorman spoke to her at the entrance of the apartment.“I’m going to mail a letter, Wil liam,” she said. “Shall I mail it fo’ you?” he asked."No, thank you.” “Must be mighty important letter,” he said, with a drowsy grin.“Very important, William.” She went out through the door he held open for her into the quiet street. There was a mailbox at the corner. Her high narrow heels clicked on the concrete pavement. The air was balmy and smelled of the riv er. The sky was sown thickly with stars. The letter made no sound falling into the box, but the click of the lid against the slot when her hand released it startled her as though a shot had been fired through the night. Walking back to the apartment house, saying good-night to the door man, going up in the lift, she marveled at her composure. Whenever, during the last three months, she had thought of making a clean break with John, she had anticipated the pain it would give her. Now that she had written and posted the letter, she felt only a sense of relief. Had she gotten over it without being conscious of the process? she wondered as she prepared for bed. Nothing in the mechanical move ments involved in writing and post ing the letter had shaken her except the click of the mailbox lid. Her hand, as she brushed her hair, was steady. Her face, in the mirror above the dressing-table, was composed, thin as it had been all spring, the cheek bones accented, shadows under her eyes. No hint of the shattering emotion she had anticipated. She felt more tranquil than she had for months, physically weary, as though she could sleep forever. She lay beneath a light coverlet in the soft narrow bed, her arms crossed beneath her head, looking up at the disk of light that the bed- stand lamp printed upon the ceiling. At some time, during the past three months, had she stopped loving John? No, not that— But had she ac cepted the inevitable? Had she been recovering all these weeks since she had returned from Maine? Had the decision she had avoided, finally made, brought tranquillity rather than the pain she had anticipated? She didn’t know. She felt sleepy, blissfully released from tension and strain. She turned, pulled the lamp cord. Darknesspressed againsther closed eyelids, heavy and soft, blotting out objects, smothering thought, quieting as an opiate, blessedly welcome. Her hand, moving to an ac customed position beneath her cheek felt heavy. She sighed, murmured and was asleep. CHAPTER XVI . Gay dropped down on a bench in Central Park and glanced at her wrist-watch. Ten minutes of two. Kate would have had luncheon with out her, wondering where she was. Todd would probably have called. He had said last night . . . She sighed and put it out of her mind, her weary glance returning to the Park. So children rolled hoops again. Why did they combine pink geraniums with those striped green and dark red plants? Where did all the strange-looking people one saw come from? How long did it take a letter mailed at midnight to reach Portland, Maine? Would he receive it in the late afternoon delivery today? Was there a delivery in the afternoon? Why hadn’t she called the post-office this morning when she woke and realized what she had done? Wouldn’t there have been time enough, then, to stop the letter? All sorts of red-tape, she supposed, and she hadn’t been sure that she wanted it stopped. She wasn’t sure now. In spite of the way her heart ached and the faint ness which made her so weary, hadn’t she done the right thing, the best thing for both herself and John? There was Todd, of course. But if he was willing to take a chance— Strange how calm she’d been last night, dancing with Todd, half promising to marry him, writing that letter to John and posting it. She’d slept, too, deeply and restfolly. It was not until this morning when she woke that she had realized what she had done. This morning—How long would it take a letter mailed a little after midnight to reach Port lands Maine? The words she had written re curred to her. “We have hurt each other too much and too often.” That was’ true. But the hurts they had given each other were not comparable to the suffering she was endur ing now, to what John would suffer when he read her letter. She imagined him tearing it open in the hall of Dr. Sargean’t home, eagerly, be cause he loved her letters,-anticipating in the envelope which bore her hand-writing, a momentary release from work which was, to him, uninteresting and exacting. Sitting on the park bench, she tortured herself by watching his expression change, seeing the brightness fade out of his face, his lips quiver with pain, the agony in his eyes . . . “I’m going to marry Todd, very soon, by the time you receive this, perhaps—” But she wasn’t going to marry Todd, not very soon, not even as long as John lived and loved her, as long as she loved him with this aching intensity that throbbed with every throbbing beat of her heart. She was not going to marry Todd. That was settled the night she and Kate had arrived at the cabin, when John came in and she had watched his expression change from brusque inquiry to astonishment, to the soft and joyous radiance that had shone in his eyes. But why shouldn’t she marry Todd? She loved him dearly, in quite a different way. But wasn’t that “Go on and pack. way more lasting? She might hurt Todd but he could not hurt her. There would be children, lovely blond children in DePinna play suits filling her life. Why shouldn’t she marry Todd- Two children ran toward her. One of them stumbled and caught at her to keep from falling. Dark eyes looked up at her from a thin dark face. Her heart gave a lurch. She smiled and started to speak, but the child raced on, beyond her, out of her reach. A letter mailed at midnight— She could drive to Portland in ten houTS or less: Leaving now, she would be there before midnight. Or she might drive as far as Boston tonight and go on to Portland in the morn ing. Her heart beat quickly, hope fully. She took a few rapid steps forward. But John would have had the letter by then. Would he? She wasn’t sure. And to go dashing up there would be a concession. He had not come to her here. They had parted, after the time she had spent in his mothe.’s home, not entirely recon ciled, a distance between them which both recognized but which neither had made an effort to close. If he loved her, and wanted her— He hadn’t been able to leave, of course. But now that Dr. Sargeant had re turned— Gay’s chin lifted above the scarf knotted at her throat un der the jacket of her dark flannel suit. She wouldn’t humble herself to return to Maine. She wouldn’t— Why shouldn’t she? Was it pride, false-pride, the wilful arrogance she had fought against, that was restraining her? Was it pride that, last night, had compelled her to half promise Todd she would marry him, to write the letter to John? Pretty stupid to let pride rob you of the thing you wanted more than any thing in the world. Pretty stupid and obstinate to let something beau- tiful slip through your fingers because you were accustomed to hav ing your own wilful way—She did not know when she made the decision. She was hardly aware that she had until she found herself running through the park to the nearest point at which she might hope to hail a cab, a tall beautiful girl in a dark tailored suit and a small bright hat, running along a paved walk beneath sun dappled fo- lige, running brethlessly, excited ly,-to a cab, to Maine, to John.Kate came out from the diningroom as Gay burst into the hall oi the apartment.“Where have you been?” she asked. “I waited luncheon for an hour. You’re out of breath. Have you been running?” “Yes, I’ve been running. Wa mustn't lose any time.” Kate dropped down on a love-seat in the hall. “What do you mean?” she asked.“We’re driving to Maine.” Gay tugged at her arm. “Come! Pack what you must but not much.” “I’m not going to Maine. Pm going to stay right here and finish Anthony Adverse if it takes the rest of my life.” “Don’t be silly. We’re going to Maine.” “I went to Maine with you once and you know what happened.” “All right, then. I’ll go alone.” “Wait a minute.” Kate quickly caught Gay’s arm as she turned. “What is this all about? You’re the most head-long young lady I’ve ever known.” “I’ve got to go, Kate. I wrote John a letter last night breaking it off, telling him I was going to marry Todd.” “And now you want to beat the letter to Maine?” “If I can. Anyway, I’m going, I told Suki to call the garage and have my car sent around. I must pack.” “Oh, Gay!.And I’ve only my Pull man case here!” Kate wailed. “It’s as big as a trunk.” “What does that have to do with my going to Maine?” “Well, you don’t think Pd trust you to go alone, do you?” “Will you go with me?” Gay caught Kate's hand and gave it a squeeze. “Kate,-you.are a.lamb.” “Nonsense!” Kate pulled her hand away. “Go on and pack.” “IPs nice, isn’t it?” Kate said as Gay turned the car into the street on which Dr. Sargeant lived. "They’re elms, aren’t they? Did you ever see so many, so tall?” "It’s nice now.” Gay’s eyes strained ahead for the square frame house which she had remembered was painted yellow. “When I was here in March it was pretty bleak. There was a blizzard.” “That must have been jolly.” Kate regarded Gay’s profile. “Aren’t you glad I made you stay at that Inn last night? You look fresh and rested, though I still don’t care for that hat.” “The house was yellow,” Gay murmured, slackening the speed of the car. “I don’t see any yellow houses. Are you sure this is the right street?” “I’ve written the address a good many times. Oh!” Gay gave a lit tle cry. “There are Nat and Skip- py. This is the house. They’ve had it painted white.” She drew in at the curb, pulled the brake, shut off the motor. “Hello, Admiral Byrd?” she called. (TO BE CONTINUED) C o n su m p tio n o f C h e e se S h o w s U pw turd T ren d Americans are eating more cheese, says the bureau of agricultural economics. The upward trend in consumption has been especially noticeable during the past seven br eight years. In depression years, from 1929 to 1932, the per capita consumption of cheese dropped slightly. Since then the trend has been sharply upward and last year it was 25 per cent greater than in 1930. During the past five years the use of cheese has averaged 5.34 pounds per person, compared with 4.59 pounds in the 1925-29 period. In 1910-14 it averaged 4.28 pounds and in 1900-1904 the average was 4.04' pounds per person.This upward trend in the use of cheese, foe bureau points out, has been in. contrast with the trends in consumption of many other staple food products. Consumption of but ter during the past five years Was about the same as in the pre-war years of 1910-14, but considerably less than in 1900-1904. In the past 40 years the trend in per capita con sumption of meats has been downward. By types, consumption of American or Cheddar cheese has shown the greatest increase. From 1930 to 1937 the increase was 33 per cent. This cheese is the principal type produced in the United States, making up over 71 per cent of the total in recent years. The second largest increase—32 per cent—has been in the consumption of cream or neufchatel cheese. Consumption o( Swiss cheese has increased 23 par cent since 1930.

We hope there are no sncli folks in Davie. Some of the Democrats arr say ing that Willkie is a business man, and that this country doesn’t need a business man for president. Seems to ns that this is a mighty poor ar gument. If we owned a big mill or factory we would want a busi ness man instead of a politician to run it. What this country needs is more business and less politics. It is less than 50 days until the election The bays in this neck of the woods don’t seem to be very much enthused. Both Republicans and Democrats are claiming that they will curry the county this fall So far as we know there has been no cash put tip on any of the county candidates. One Republican told ns that He had already pnt up $too on Wendell Willkie, and thought he was going to win. A Democratic salesman nut of Winston Salem, was calling on a Davie farmer a few days ago to sell him a bill of goods. The salesman saw a copy of The Davie Record on the scat ot the farmer’s car, and made so ne disparaging remark* about the paper. The farmer hap pened to be a Republican. Result was that the salesman didn’t make the sale. It doesn’t pay to smite your enemies. Always speak well of tl.em and you will sell more goods and live a happier and more contented life.

I A Fine Newspaper. Big Winston-Salem Fair The Record wants to congratu late Editor L. C. Gifford, of The Hickory Daily Record on the mam moth edition that fine newspaper is sued on its silver anniversary. Tbe paper contained 108 pages, and compared favorably with the large metropolitan dailies ot New York and Chicago. The paper carried a large amount of advettising, to gether with hundreds of photo graphs of ibe Hickory section, to getber with a history of that bust ling town covering the past 60 years or more. Hickorv being onr old home town, where we set onr first type on the Hickory Mercury more than 47 years ago, we were much impressed with the rapid growth of the town, and the won. derfnl improvements in the news- papei field. In the history of the Hickory newspapers, Editor Gif ford failed to list one of that city’s newspapers of the long ago. This scribe was the editor, owner and publisher ot The Hornet, which was issued weeklv in Hickory fiom 1903 to 1907 . The Record congra tulates Editor Gifford and his en tire force for the mammoth edition of The Hickorv Daily Record. May it live long and grow larger and even better as the years g'o by.

NEW YORK.—Whether Benedict Crowell is a good prophet or not may yet be revealed. Mr. Crow ell, assistant secretary of war in „ . - ■ » the W orldE xperiences o f war has been CrowellG rooved named spe- Into Present Job c*a^ consultant on defense, by Secretary Stimson. Addressing the Institute of Public Af fairs at the University of Virginia, July 11, 1931, Mr. Crowell said: “Should a great war ever again engulf our country, Amer ican manufacturers, including the new industrialism of the South, as well as the older in- dustrialisms of the North and East, without waste of time, ma terial or priceless human lives, will perform their essential func tion of munitions supply . . . our national security is on a sound foundation.” Mr. Crowell, who was a consulting engineer before he ' became a Cleveland banker and industrialist, is a brigadier general in the ord nance reserve. His specialty, as assistant secretary of war, was in or ganizing our munitions industries for the war effort. He was widely praised for his efficiency in this and gained fame as the most ruthless cutter of red-tape in the army high command. This may have something to do with his selection as defense consultant at this mo ment. Yale university, his alma mater, recognized the above service by giving him an hono rary master of arts degree in 1918. A native of Cleveland, 71 years old, Mr. Crowell began his business career as a chemist with: the Otis Steel company. He rose in execu tive positions and at the same time gained technical qualifications which made him a metallurgist and consulting engineer. He is the author of several books, including a six-volume se ries called “America Went to War,” of which Robert Forrest Wilson was co-author. One of these volumes is entitled “The Armies of Industry,” singularly pertinent to problems and back grounds of our present national endeavor. Reporters, interviewing Mr. Crowell in the old days, frequently used to note his resemblance to ruby Bob Fitzsimmons, and deduce, from this his capacity for hitting and staying- power. ♦---- IN HIS novel, “Le Couple,” published in 1925, Victor Marguer- ritte, the French writer, foresaw the disaster which was to overtake F rench P rophet Jes^ bed £e O f Doom A ccepts debacle quite C onquestForetold accurately, but put the date at 1943 instead of 1940. Today, the author accepts the conquest, which he tragically described and makes common cause with the conquerors. He denounces General De Gaulle and his followers as the hirelings of England. In present and future clinical research into the fall of France and its causes, M. Marguerritte’s lament and prophecy, as of 1925, will be interesting. After describing the al liance of French politicians, with “Prussian and Bavarian junkers,” and the subsequent collapse and conquest, he says: “And then we shall be reap ing what we have sown. It will be the result of our policy of attempting the semblance of gran deur—stupid because it is not warranted by our power, nor by our national wealth, nor by our trickling birth-rate, nor by our exhausted finances.” Years of self-indulgence, mad pleasure-seeking, the softening of moral fiber and the ebbing of national, vitality, he said, would precede the final destruction of the French nation. Tbe League of Nations, he predicted, would be a ghastly failure. - ■ M. Marguerritte is the son of a famous French general of the Franco-Prussian war. . In his study were medals and memorials of his father's .war service. He is a- stal wart man, tall and straight with abundant pompadoured. hair and a Van Dyke beard. He was. a .member of the Legion ' of Honor and honorary president of the French Society of Men of Let ters. Poincare, no defeatist, had urged his Legion of Honor decora-- tion. This and all his other honors were stripped bom him when he published an offending book, VLa Garconne.” He had been for 10 years an officer in the French army. In his books, which he continued to write during his army service, he championed virile French nationalism. Now, at 73, he watched France “reap what she has sown.” Nazis Bomb Poet Milton’s Torrib EsSr-**** The statue of John Milton, the famous blind poet of Great Britain, is toppled from its pedestal by a Nazi bomb tbat fell on St. Giles, one of London’s oldest churches.

Their spleens, too, are on the wrong side—right instead of left, and their livers, to make the turnabout complete, are on the left instead of the- right side. Their eyes, strangely enough, have exactly the same measurements, and exactly the same ailments, a rarity, even in identical twins. The girls are eight years old. . -Father .Francis X.

At last they hit upon it, and after some manipulation with chisel and hammer, dislodged sev eral bricks. There, hidden on the other side, lay—the valuable silver. Just as they were gloating over their find, there came a furious ring, and their neighbor bounded in. “What the deuce do you mean by breaking up my dining-room cupboard?” he gasped.

Contracts have been signed with Albert Spaulding, Jose Iturbi (that favorite guest of the Bing Crosby broadcasts), Mildred Dilling, the distinguished harpist, and several others. Commitments have also been madewith several Metropolitan Opera singers, including Helen Jep- J r JOSB ITUBBI son, Gladys Swarthout, Richard Bo- nelU and Frederick Jaegel, and at the moment efforts are being made to sign Lily Pons, Nino Martini, Mischa Elman, Josef Hofmann and Efrem Zimbalist. The first group is scheduled for release October I. The time has come when Frankie Burke wishes that he didn’t look like James Cagney. The resemblance got him into movies a couple of seasons ago, when he played Cag ney as a boy of 12 in Warner Broth ers’ “Angels With Dirty Faces.” He went on from there, doing the same kind of role for other studios. Now, as Wayne Morris’ roommate in Paramount’s “Quarterback,” he’s persuaded the director to let him forget the Cagney mannerisms; he wants to get parts because he can play them well. Loretta Young is convinced that Mexican fans’ appreciation of movie stars is more embarrassing than flattering. When she slipped into a theater to see her Colombia comedy “He Stayed for Breakfast,” the film was stopped and the lights went on, so that the audience could see her in person. And she was wearing the old clothes in which she’d gone fishing. Even if the names of directors of pictures don’t mean a thing to you, you’d better make a note of one— Preston Sturges. He’s no newcomer—a playwright, the author of “Strictly Dishonorable” among o!fc- er hits, he’s written plenty of movie dramas and had experience as a director. His name should be remembered because he wrote and directed '‘Down Went McGinty,” one of the funniest and best pictures that has been launched in some time. He didn’t want any big stars or glamour players; Brian Donlevy, Akim Tbmiroff, Frank McHugh and Muri el Angelus suited him fine. He just wanted to write and direct a com edy. He followed it with another, ‘‘The New Yorkers,” a satire on ad vertising, and he’s scheduled for plenty more. 1 Ronald Reagan and his wife, Jane Wyman, played a love scene for “Tugboat Annie Sails Again,” and then worried about whether or not it was effective. “When we kissed in that scene just now,” Reagan said to Director Lew Seiler, “I was thinking • about how hungry I was and what we’d have for dinner. Janie told me she was thinking about the same tiling. In the love scenes we made before we were married, we’d kiss and for get to eat.” Seiler grinned. “You did better this time, thinking about food, than you did before, when you forgot to eat because you were making love," he replied.— *— . ODDS AND ENDS C.Rodtette Hudson nicked up such a tan during two months in Hawaii that she’ll have to be bleached before she can play a pale miss of Manhattan in “Girls Under 21.” ft. Evidently “Before I Die ” was too grisly a tide for the new Douglas Fairbanks Jr.-Rita Hayworth drama; ifs been renamed “Angels Over Broadway.” d, Marjorie Rambeau has proved to be so abbs a successor to Ine late Marie Dressier in die character of “Tugboat Annie” that the series will go right on; “Tugboat Annie in Drydock” will be die next one to-be mode. Household Nems SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS (Recipes Below) Have you ever juggled a cup of coffee in one hand, a salad plate in the other, and at the same time attempted to eat the appetizing food the hostess has I I N /a A l served you? It is a feat that even the most experi enced cannot often manage. To save a guest the embarrass ment of having his suit ruined by a cup of coffee tipping over, or salad dressing trickling over the side of the plate which is being precariously balanced on the knees, serve your supper on individual trays. Simplicity is the keynote of the Sunday night supper. That is why the “meal-on-the-tray” has become so popular.Plan your Sunday supper around one centred dish. It may be a salad, a creamed dish served on toast, or even a casserole dish. Here is a favorite supper menu for warm fall evenings which easily adapts itself to buffet style of serving, or a tray supper. Cranberry Molded Salad - Cottage. Cheese with Chives Olives RelishesPotato Chips Hot Rolls Butter Coffee As you glance through the menu you can see that nothing in the meal, with the exception of the hot rolls, requires last minute prepara tion in the kitchen.The buffet should be as inviting as it is possible to make it. The cranberry molded salad with a mound of cottage cheese and chives in the center of the ring mold makes an especially attractive center piece for serving table. The rolls may be placed in a cunning bread basket, Covered1With a napkin to keep them hot. The serving table must also have the necessary silverware, dishes, napkins and trays on it. When the meal is ready, each guest helps himself, and delights in the informality of the occasion. Instead of using the buffet style of serving, you may want to pre pare the trays in the kitchen. Then with the aid of the members of the family, the trays are served to the guests.The following menu is an excellent one to serve when fall evenings are a little nippy, and a warm dish is appealing.

Lesson for Septem ber 29 THE USE AND ABUSE OF WEALTH LESSON TEXT—Proverbs 11:24-31; Luke 16:11-13.GOLDEN TEXT-Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.—Mattbew 6:20. Money—its making and using—is a matter which constantly concerns all of us as long as we live in this world. It is the medium of ex change whereby the labors of one man may be exchanged for the labors of. another, in the purchase of goods and services. It may be used to send a messenger to the ends of the earth with the- good news of salvation or, on the other hand, it may be the ready instrument to destroy both body and soul of those who abuse it. Man may have mon ey, and be a blessing, or money may have a man, and be a curse. I. The Right Spirit in the Use of Money (Frov. 11:24-26). What a man does with his money is only a reflection of what he is in his inmost life. The spirit which withholds unless there is a return to itself in pleasure or profit is a selfish and ungodly spirit. To attempt to present one’s self before the world as a follower of Christ and to have that attitude toward what one possesses is to deny by one's acts the testimony of one’s lips. Not all “scattering” (v. 24) is commendable. It is possible to be careless and wasteful, and that nei ther honors God nor helps our fellow men. Then, too, a man may scatter liberally, as the farmer does when he sows seed, knowing that he win have a richer harvest for him self. That is only a different type of selfishness. The man who knows “God, that giveth to all men liberally” (James 1:5), scatters not only his money, but his riches of mind and spirit in his life and service. He gives him self and what he has to God—and to man as he serves God—and rich is his reward. In sad contrast is the man who keeps his possessions, but finds that withal he has only barren leanness of soul and life. H. The Good and Bad Use of Money (w. 27-29). The man who looks for good finds it, and the one who looks for trouble finds that, too. That is true in the use of money as well as elsewhere in life. One way to end up in cer tain disappointment is to put your trust in money, for, Vrtiile it opens many doors, it cannot open the door to heaven, and, while it can buy most things, it cannot buy health and happiness. To seek good, seek the Lord and His righteousness, and you will “flourish as a branch.” You may not have the riches of this earth, but you will prosper in those things which are of eternal val ue. You will be wise in the conduct of the affairs of your -own house (v. 29) and life, because you are “wise of heart.” III. The Best Use of Money (w. 30, 31). One of America’s leading business analysts and statisticians said some years ago that the best invest ment of hinds was in the winning of souls to Jesus Christ. Had man ex pended the money which should have gone for that purpose, at the right time, we might have been spared the spending of billions of dollars for war in these latter days.“He that is wise winneth souls” (v. 30 R. V.). “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever” (Dan. 12:3). The glory that awaits the believer in this life and in the life to come, as well as the judgment which inev itably must fall on the sinner (v. 31), should urge us on in the winning of souls. But even more than that, the love of God, and “the love of Christ” which “constraineth us” (H Cor. 5:14), should cause us to put ourselves and our money into His hands, to be used in the winning of souls. Could there be any better use of money? IV. The Test of the Use of Money (Luke 16:11-13). Ultimately each one of us must give an account to God of the manner in which we have lived. These verses and others indicate that onq of the matters for which we must answer is the manner in which we have used or abused the money or other' possessions with which God has blessed us. We are stewards, and only as we demonstrate our faithfulness and wisdom in the use of the “unright eous mammon” (v. 11 ); that is, the money of this world, can God en trust us neither here or in the world to come- with His true riches. Let us be very clear about this point today. It does make a vital difference to your spiritual life, how you regard money. You cannot sep arate your life into compartments, with a spiritual Sunday religion and a do-as-you-please weekday, business or social life. The dollar you spend on Monday is of as much concern to God as the dollar you put in the offering on.-Sunday.
