'Things worth while in life are
those that count for success, peace
and happiness. Thinking good
thoughts, speaking good words,
doing good deeds, praying effectual
prayers, forming good habits, set
ting high aims, having gTeat and
noble purposes, reading good books
and a high class of literature, keep
ing good company, . and honestly,
earnestly traveling in the right di
rection—this makes for the best, in
life Anything short of this makes
life a failure.
If we look and hunt for the
worth while things in life we can
alwavs find them. Thev are with
in us and all about ns. God pro
vides tne best for us, and if we will
accept it we can be assured of the
best of consequences. It is true we
shall have the forces and influences
of evil to contend witb, as they are
all about os also; but evil can be
overcome with good. Where sin
abounds, grace likewise abounds—
even abounds more abundantly and
powerfully. The power of God
and good is stronger than that of
the devil and sin. If this were not
so then it wonld be impossible for
any net son to live right and. over
come sin.
Things worth while are those
that are worthy. Thev are worth
more than diamonds and pearls,
silver and gold, rubies and gems.
God values them, as they are of
God. And we may be assured of
fact, that whatever God values and
sets His approval aud seal upon,
and whatever comes from Him, is
worth while. The graces, virtues,
noble characteristics and principals
of heart, mind, soul and spirit are
beyond all price. Richesin materi
al things cannot buy them. They
are heavenly gifts, not earthly.
They are eternal possessions, not
temporal, if we hold on and on to
them. They go with ns through
time and over into eternity.
God has blessed us with things
worth while—talents, gifts, abili
ties, virtues, principals, traits,
characteristics,, mental and spiri
tual possessions and riches, along
with the golden opportunities of
using them to our good, the good
of our fellow men, and to the glory
of God. These are things worth
while. Itisuptousastow hatw e
do with them. We can undervalue
them, waste them, throw them a-
wav and thus blight and corse onr
iives of mankind, and in the end
lose our sools and cause others to
be lost forever; or we can use them
to our good, the good of humanity
and to the glory of God forever,
hence sharing the blessedness of
God forever. Reader, how is it
with you?

In a recent talk, Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau said: "It
would be folly to assume that we
can continue to spend now as we
did in normal times."
Congress, unhappily, has indul.
ged to the limit in that folly. It
continues to appropriate Ullions for
defense .without making a single
important cut in useless, non de.
fense spending. It continues to
play politics.
We have all been told that we
must tighten our belts. What is
true of individuals, is true a mil.
lion times, over the government.
The maintenance now of non-de
fense government spending at de.
pression peaks is one_of the black
pages in American history.—Ex.
Twenty thousand small businesses
face a complete shutdown because they cannot obtain defense contracts
or materials with which to carry on their normal activities. ,

From The Yellow Jacket
Theodore Roosevelt’s motto was
to "speak softly but carry a big
stick;" FDR’s idea seems to be to
“speak loud and stick out yonr
neck big”
"For a man who objects to poli
tical agitation that arouses disuni
ty,” FDR seems to get a lot of
pleasure, picking the old scabs off
political sores he made by purging
the Senate and packing the Su
preme Court.
If you believe in upholding the
national faith and credit, the main
tenance of a sound currency and
the upbuilding of American indus
tries, then you are a good Repub
lican, even if you are wearing a
Democratic tag and a tin rooster in
your hat.
It’s "picking” time in the cot
ton fields all right and it’s time
right now to begin picking out 100.
per cent America s for cong'ession-
al candidates to be elected next
year. We need Republicans to help
audit the books of the New Deal.
Cft course no patriotic American
citizen is going to object to paying
taxes to build up our national de
fense but he has a right to feel sore
over having to pay heavy taxes to
take care of a huge debt that has
been piled up by the New Deal in
time of profound peace.
The National Safety Council re
ports that traffic deaths for the past
eight months have reached an all-
time high of 24,030—18 per cent
higher than the same period of
1940. Statistically the auto Is life’s
uglest joke. Its toll makes war
seem !ike the work of ameteurs.
Marshall Field, Jr., is quoted as
saying in New York; “I happen to
have been left a great deal of mon.
ey. I don’t know wbat is going to
happen to it and I do *’t give a
damn.” Speaking of heirs of great
fortunes, it mav be staled that this
is by no means an original thought.
At the American Legion meet
the boys had fun with the "Pledge
of Allegiance" which says: "I
pledge subservience to the present
administration, and to the public
debt for which it stands; one fami
ly insufferable, with divorces and
captaincies for all.
Plow-Under Program
Needed?
When the New Deal came into
power the Department of Agricul
ture had approximately 27,000 em
ployees Thefarmers were raising
too much food. In order to help
them raise less food the personnel of
the department has been raised to
91,000.
Now that the farmer is asked for
more food again, it will be interest
ing to see whether any of these peo
ple are turned off or even more add
ed to help farmers do what they
were already, doing when there were
oniy 27j000 employees.
With^the Government bringing
thousands of new employees weekly
into Washington, a city already
crowded almost to indecency, and a
shortage of desk space for defense
offices, it would seem that the 64.000
increase in Department of Agricul
ture employees might be reduced
and the personnel turned over to de
fense offices, and the desk space
more useful y employed.
With.farmers short of help, some
of the empleyees in the office might
do formers more good milking cows
and slopping hogs, than by pushing
pencils or waiting, for orders. But,
looking them over, one would wonder
just what a former would do with
manv of them or what interest they
would have in agriculture anyway.;
The revised budget estimates for
1942 shows that the Government
hopes to spend |18 ,000,00p,000 for
national defense in the current fiscal
year. The current fiscal year show
ed that this Government planned to
spend $10 ,811 ,000,000.
The Record is only $1,00.
A Pioneer Welsbman In
Davie County
On Mondav afternoon Mr. Co
lumbus Chaffin and I, walking a-
long the road east of Sheffield, saw
In an open field a lonelv g ave mar.
ked bv an old soapstone at its head.
On it was found, "Joseph Jones,
born Sept. i, 1772, died age .82
vears, 10 days.” . Byfais side an.
other bearing simply, "Henrietta
Jones, age 74.” Large box bush
es cover the low stone at wife’s
grave. Ap arently no other graves
there. The small section on which
graves are, Is at least a foot above
the surrounding land, showing the
effect of erosion. That morning,
Mr Latta Ratledge had written
the name of a Rev. Mr. Jones, a
pioneer preacher a) Beal’s Meeting
House, where was organized the
first Methodist church in Western
North Carolina, in 1780. Tradit
ion savs almost 20 years prior,
preaching bad beendone under an
arbor by Beal and Jones. Eighty-
seven years have passad since the
remains of Joseph Jones were laid
to rest. These silent sentinels of
the dead called memory and imag
ination into plav. First, the name
Jones, a name interesting to me
since two of mv great grandfath
ers bore the name and both ot their
fathers were Revolutionary soldiers,
ono a Captain, the other a Major,
and a captive of the notorious tv
rant, David Fanning, the Captain
an officer at the battle of Gulltord
Court House.
Specialists in ancient history say:
The Welch race is traced to remote
antiquity. When Abraham wrest
ed with angels the direct ancestors
of modern Welshmen were already
among the ancients. Many thous
ands of years before Abram these
children of remote antiquity lived
where many ages later Babylon was
built; but a stronger .ace came in
and drove the race in a northeast
erly direction; they somewhat cir
cled ihe Fertile Crescent, Mauy
settled in Gan), where Julius Cae
sar found them Some settled in
what is now Italy; a smallee num
ber crossed the English Channel
and located on that island. The
Romans called these paople Celts;
the Greeks called them Kelts.
Those who settled in England re
mained there until about 550 A. D.
By this time the Agles, Saxons and
lutes, had become strong in- tbL
Celtisb land, from the beginning
of the Anglo-Saxon settlements be
tween these races constant warfare
raged. Earlier pioneers had ven.
tured on inti Scotland; others had
settled Ireland, leaving their kins
men in England to fight the invad.
ers alone, and the invaders proved
the stronger. The great majority
were pushed out into the wilds ot
Wales. Here note the common au
cesiry of the Scotch, the Irish and
the Welsh, a common ancestry, the
Celts. For 300 years constant war
fare continued between the Welsh
and the settlers of England; and
tor hundreds of years longer the
Welsh hated the English. In onr
American Revolution to a man the
Welsh fought the British Redcoats.
One of our first U. S. Senators,
Timothy Bloodwortb, was a native
Welshman. Between Wales and
Eogiand bitterness continued un
til an English king decreed that
ever afterwards the king's oldest
son should be known nnd called
the Prince of Wales, and this step
was taken to appease the Welsh
people. Perhaps the greatest living
Welshman is Lloyd George, form,
erly the Prime Minister and now a
member of the House of Commons,
in Parliament.'
That movement in Western Eu
rope known as the Crusaders, when
religious frenzy seized the m-sses
in a crazy attempt to wrest Jerusa
lem and the Hoiy Land , from the
Mohammedans, caused the Bible
name John to become a popular
name witb the Welsh Loter this
simple natn: Tohn was slightly
changed in spelling and became'
Jones The name has sPo sp cial
significeuce.
Mr. Latta Ratledgesavs that in
the early days in that section, giv.
en names were never used. Beal
was simply called Beal; if onlv one
Jones, then he was simply Jones.
But one wonders if Joseph Jones
was the son of the pioneer preach
er; and since Jones was a Welsh
man and the Welsh were solidIv
gainst the British, was the pioneer
io.tbe American army? Perhaps
in tbe Militia. No roster of mili
tia soldiers has been found. Jones,
Sr., could have fought under Co).
Benjamin Cleveland at the battle
of King’s Mountain, and be could
have fought with General Green at
Guiltord. Now we wish weknew,
but we djn’t. The reason we don’t
know is that their history was neg
lected, forgotten, buried with them;
and unless we gather tip tbe frag
ments of religious history, preserve
and transmit it to posterity, future
generations will ask tbe same ques
tions aia ask. Why did they let
lbeit history perish witb the bodies
of those who made history?

bis experience as food administra.
tor during the first world war. Mr
Hoover submitted a six-point pro.
gram to meet the problem of com
modity supplies and prices which
has been iaised by the shift of the
nation from the limited area of pre
paredness to tbe direct field of total
emergency.
Points in his program, some ot
which are now in effort but need to
be enlarged, he saic, were:
t. Authority to make volnntarv
agreements with trades and groups
as to price, conservation and dis
tribution
2. Authority to establish wise
co-operative measures to bring a-
bout tudustrial and civilian conser
vation.
3. Authority to enforce regula
tions against a minority who may
not comply.
4. • Authority from time to time
to fix floor and ceiling prices and
margins in business transactions.
5. Authority fo r government
buying and selling commodities.
Authority in priorities and ra
tioning.
He declared, ' however, that be
was opposed to the establishment of
a licensing system over industry
to carry out the orders of the de
fense agencies, although he initiat
ed such a system during the last
war From his experience in this
field, he said, he was convinced
that it was “useless and vicious.”
"The licensing powers I held dur
ing the last war, covering only food
and related commodities,” Mr.
Hoover stated, "did not prove a
useful thing. And the penalties
were far too severe. It meant the
death penalty for a man , and his
family for stealing two dollars.”

Benito’s Contribution to Singapore Defense
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
^ E W YORK.—Commentators and
^ war correspondents'are now re*
calling the famous “Memorial to the
Emperor,” supposedly written by
r • v a B a r o n G i'Jap M em K am pf ichj Tanaka
Recalled;Revealed in 1927, in
A gsr. , .i„„ Step,
was not a forgery, Japanese plans
for world .conquest were formulated
much in the manner of Adolf Hit
ler’s blue print for homicide in
“Mein Kampf.”
Baron Tanaka died September 29,
1929, a few weeks after the fall of
his cabinet, his premiership having
lasted about two years.
This department is supposed to
deal only with the living, but breaks
pace today to note the possibly his
toric significance of the baron and
his document—and the life story of
the suave little man who died of
high blood pressure, at 66, after
many years of deep absorption in
“sword romance," the Japanese
equivalent of the blood and thunder
pulp thrillers of our country.
History may give him a nod
in view of the fact that his do'cu-
ment ticked off the later steps
of Japanese aggression as neat
ly as a pool-player calling his
shots. The Japanese repeatedly
have denounced it as a forgery.
Whatever it was, it jumped the
clock and told “the shape of
things to come.”
The first reference to the docu
ment in this country, so far as this
reporter could discover, was in pub- I
lished quotations from the Russian •
newspaper, Pravda, of November 5, !
1931. Pravda did not reveal how it ■
had obtained its copy of the “Me- ■
morial,” but it flared it out as “a i
startling revelation of the Japanese
carefully prepared plan for world :
conquest.” !
“Japan’s aggressive tendencies j
will not end in China,” said the |
Pravda article. “She has designs
on the Philippines, the Malayan ar- i
chipelago, Guam, Tahiti, Samoa and
Australia. It presages a fight for a
new division of the world, for it I
is inseparably linked with conflict
among imperialist nations for con- I
trol of the Pacific.”
The newspaper then quoted from !
the document:
These Breda guns, captured from the Italians In Libya, are being
reconditioned in Malaya for use against Jap invaders. During Wavell’s
desert blitz a tremendous amount of Italian equipment was taken by
the British. It has since been useful on other fronts, and will serve the
allied cause again in Malaya.

INFORMATION FOR THOSE
WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT
■ True obesity is a constitutional
disorder in which there is a com
pulsory tendency to gain weight un
less the intake of
food and expendi
ture of energy are
kept under control
aU of the time. In
this condition, the
body tissues have a
greater tendency
than normal to de
posit fat.
F o r t u n a te l y
many people who
1 are overweight do not have this ab
normal condition. During chUdhood,
; adolescence and early adult life, a
high calorie, high vitamin, high pro
tein diet containing adequate min
erals is necessary for normal
growth. At this period of life people
are most active physically and need
more calories. Thus they become
accustomed to eating large amounts
of food, are not satisfied with small
er quantities. When they stop grow
ing and go to work they are apt to
be less active physically and require-
less food. But they continue their
usual high calorie diet and the

“If we intend to gain control
over China, we must first erush
the TTnited States. To capture
China, we must also crush Man
churia and Mongolia. In order
to conquer the world, we must
first conquer China. If we suc
ceed in conquering China, the
rest of the Asiatic countries and

For understandable reasons, the
Pravda story got scant attention in
the Ameri- Press Discredited can press,
TanakaMemorial; in v iew of
Japs M arch O n! manSr Previ' ^ ous propa
ganda stories issuing from this
source and was, for the most part
editorially dismissed as an effort to
“cause dissension among friendly
capitalistic nations.”
But, American correspondents,
digging into the story in the Far
East, discovered that, in 1929, the
“Memorial” had been examined by
members of the American Council
of the Institute of Pacific Relations,
in Mukden. It was submitted to
them by members of the entourage
of the Chinese Marshal Chang
Hsueh-liang. One of this delegation
was reported to have said:
“We pledge the full authen
ticity of this document and we
plead with you to understand
that Japan has begun a pro
gram of world aggression which
inevitably must involve the
United States.”
So far as we can learn, news of
Ihis incident was not published in
this country until after the Pravda
story. This, however, is not cer
tain. It may have appeared in some
American newspapers. This writer
remembers a long article in a Brit
ish newspaper of five or six years
ago, the Manchester guardian, if
memory serves, in which was cited
documentary evidence of the validity
of the document and pleaded for a re
shaping of British policy in the Far
East and the strengthening of the
naval base at Singapore.
On April 23, 1940, Rear Ad
miral J. K. Taussig, retired, ap
peared before the senate com
mittee on naval affairs and in
sisted on the validity of the Ta
naka MemoriaL He begged for
a consideration of Japanese re
lations in this light, bnt the
navy, however, repudiated his
testimony. Pierre Van Paassen,
in his recently published book,
“This Day Alone,” reviews the
history of the document, defends
its authenticity and lannches In-
• dignation against the civilized
world for failing to heed it.

portion no longer needed for the
production of heat and energy is
converted into fat. Sometimes such
a gain in weight does not come
until the individual changes from
hard manual labor to some less ardu
ous type of work.
Gains During Pregnancy.
During pregnancy and while nurs
ing their babies, women have to eat
enough to nourish two and so eat
much more than they did formerly.
Then when the baby is weaned
they continue on the high calorie
diet. As they no' longer require the
extra nourishment, they gain weight
and lose their lovely girlish figures.
The change of life in some 20 or
30 per cent of women so affects the balance between the various glands
that their diet causes them to gain
weight.
It is relatively easy for those who
are overweight because they eat
mdre calories than they require, to
reduce. Those who have the hered
itary abnormal tendency to accumu
late fat, water and salt find it much
more difficult. Many believe that
exercise, even violent exercise, is
necessary if weight is to be lost..
Those who have never engaged in
athletics or who are too old to en
gage in them, consider passive ex
ercise or massage indispensible.
While exercise is good if started
gradually and not carried to ex
tremes weight can often be lost more
easily and rapidly without it. Exer
cise increases hunger and thirst and
makes it more difficult to stick to a
restricted diet and so harder to lose
weight.
Low Calorie Diet.
A low calorie diet (1,000 to 1,200
calories) is absolutely necessary
for weight reduction. Such a diet
can often be best tolerated if a
cracker, a glass of fruit juice, or of j
skim milk is taken between meals.
Thus low blood sugars that cause
ravenous hunger are avoided. Any
reducing diet must contain enough
vitamins, minerals and proteins to
satisfy the body requirements. It
should contain one pint of skim milk,
one egg, two ounces of fish, meat or
fowl, three servings of vegetables
(one of them raw) including pota
toes, two servings of fruit (one of
them raw) and one and one-half pat
ties of butter. It should contain a
minimum of fats, sugars, sweets
and starches and the fluid intake
should be decreased. To make it
quantitively more satisfying, eat
more meat, cheese and leafy vege
tables may be taken.
When you have thus lost enough,
add to your reducing diet just
enough to enable you to maintain
the desired weight. If you go back
to your old diet, you will again rap
idly put on the pounds.
“The constant drip will wear
away the stone; the constant im
perfection of nutrition, though
this be relatively slight, will wear
away the body.”—Sir Robert Mc-
Carrison.

the man who, eight years ago, con
ducted the search for an infant
who could mimic Maurice Cheva

the United States the March of Time

a comprehensive film story of how
this country, in the last war, came

America at War,” it ends by show
ing that, as America won the last
war through co-ordinated effort, so
she will win this one.
One night not so long ago Mickey
Rooney was called to Hie telephone.
It was Carmen Miranda — she’d
heard that he was going to do an
impersonation of her In “Babes on

would be a good one, she arranged

Cary Grant’s main idea, when he
finished working in “Suspicion,”
with Joan Fontaine, was to catch
up on sleep. Said he hadn’t had a
day or evening to himself since he
started work in “My Favorite

Maybe all those extra-curricular
activities that we heard about were
just rumors.
Joan Blaine, who soon starts
doubling between two air serials for
a total of three broadcasts a day,
vastly prefers radio to any other

AILING HOUSE
J 1 By ROGER B. WHITMAN ,
(© Roger B. Whitman—WWU Service.)
Cleaning Bugs and Upholstery
COILED carpets, rugs and uphol-
story cap be cleaned by sham*
pooing with soap jelly. Ordinary;
soiling will come out easily, but oth
er methods should be used for obsti
nate and unusual, stains. These
may call for professional work. Fur
ther, shampooing should be applied
only to fabrics of which the colors1
are fast.
The jelly is made of chips or flakes
of pure and mild soap; the kind of
soap that is used for fine launder
ing. Four cups are put in a bowl or
wide-mouthed jar, and one cup of
water is added. The jelly will form
within an hour. A portion of the
jelly is put into a mixing bowl and
beaten with an egg-beater, which
will raise suds as stiff as whipped
cream. Using a soft brush, jelly is
worked on the fabric in a space 12
inches or so across. After a few
minutes for the loosening of the dirt,
the space is wiped wifi) a cloth
damp with clear water, and with a
stiffer brush, the nap is brushed
in its proper direction. An adjoin
ing space should then be cleaned.-
The suds are so dry that, upholstery!
fabric will not be soaked, as would
be the case with soapsuds as usually;
used. After cleaning, the fabric
should be quickly dried. A rug can;
be supported on boxes and chairs,'
so that air can iget at the back as1
well as the front.
Mounting Maps
There have been few times when
maps have been studied to the ex-;
tent that they now are; maps of Eu
rope, Africa, the Near and Far East,
as well as the parts of the world
not at present involved in war. For
a map to be useful, it should be.
mounted on a stiff support. One-
eighth plywood, is excellent. The
first step in mounting is to lay the
map on the plywood, and to mark
the positions of the four corners.
The plywood is then given a ^oat
of shellac on both sides and on the
edges. When this is dry, another
coat of shellac is applied, the map
is rolled up, and one of its ends is
laid down with the comers on the
marks. With the worker leaning
over the board, the rest of the map
is then thrown over the head, to be
supported by it. The rest of the
map is then quickly laid on the
damp shellac, and smoothed with
the two hands, which are free. As
soon as the map is down, it should
be gone over with a stiff brush,
working from the center toward the
edges, to push out air bubbles that
may have been caught. Should any
remain, they can be disposed of
through a pin hole in the paper in
the center of the bulge.
Room Decoration
Question: A study used by four
people has a white ceiling; walls
are light blue, and window frames
are light yellow. Walls and ceiling
are dirty and should be done over.
The room is 11 feet square. In re
decorating, what colors would make
the room appear larger?
Answer: A light room will seem
larger than if finished in dark col
ors. Had I your problem I should
use one single light color for every
thing; ceiling and woodwork as well
as walls. My choice would be light
ivory or a pastel shade. Colors to
relieve the monotony could be in
curtains and upholstery.
Floor Cleaning
Question: Good oak floors are dis
colored and revamished. How can
I clean them and make them light?
How can I clean stair treads? Sand
ing would be expensive.
Answer: At a hardware store you
can get an alkali powder to be
mixed with water that will take off
the varnish Imd the discolorations.
Directions on the label of the box
should be carefully followed.
Floor Finish
Question: What would make a
good finish for a newly sanded oak
floor? We dislike varnish.
Answer: Use a treatment called a
seal, which soaks into the wood and
becomes part of the surface, rather
than lying on it. Any good paint,
store should have a sealing liquid.
If you want to, you can finish it
with wax.
White Paint on Red
Question: How can I give a white
finish to "a red seat without the red
coming through?
Answer: Take off all present fin
ish with paint remover, which will
also take out much of the red. The
remainder can be sealed in with one
or two coats of aluminum paint, to
be finished with white enamel.
Alcohol Stain
Question: What will remove white
spots left on my ^walnut bed bn
spilled alcohol?Answer: Rub with camphorated
oil, or use scratchless cleaning port -
der moistened with household- oil,
rubbed on with your finger tip.
Removing Verdigris \ '
Question: What will remove verdi
gris from brass pipes and bathroom
fixtures?Answer: Verdigris can be taken
off with household ammonia or by
applying a paste ^nade with sal am
moniac and water. Green stains on
enameled plumbing fixtures can be
removed Iqr rubbing with scratch-
less cleaning powder moistened with
kerosene, or with a powder for
cleaning porcelain that can be had
at dime store; Be sure to obtain a
“scratchless” type of cleaning pow

Learn to Sew if Your Budget \
Is limited—It’s Fun, Toojl
By CHEBIE NICHOLAS
’ I 'tuS year the fashion picture is
literally packed with drama.
What with a whirl of midwinter fes
tivities and gala occasions in full
swing one is almost sure to yearn
for more than the usual amount of
clothes glamour. The good news is
that, by making sewing your hob
by, you can easily manage to have
an enchanting array without suffer
ing a single budget twinge.
Simply pick the pattern that
measures up to your idea of a dream
dress, get your material in hand and
then dash off to your nearest local
sewing center where expert help is
cheerfully given in sewing short
cuts and fashion tricks, at little or
no expense. '
Fabric counters are literally bub
bling over with an endless display
of smart, inexpensive rayon jerseys,
tweedy weaves that tailor beauti
fully, gorgeous taffetas and moires
that look twice as expensive as they
really are; velveteens in alluring
pastel and brilliant jewel-toned col
ors; handsome laces of every type
from sheer to the new linen effects,
which, for the most part, can be had
for under a dollar a yard. This year
a merry war is going on between
traditional black-and-white and lush,
ravishing colors like fuchsia, tur
quoise, black plum, alarm red, to
paz, gold and beige, Kelly green
and seafoam tones and tints.
For the twilight hour and its flat
tering candlelight, there’s romantic
elegance needed, and ,you will be
equal to the occasion if you make a
dinner dress which combines a long-
sleeved, front-buttoned, long-torso
basque top- of black cotton lace'
with a shirred wide-spreading rayon
moire skirt which repeats the black
lace in a hip border inset after the
manner of the gown which the fig
ure seated in (he foreground is
wearing. {
And again your evening splendor^
will be definitely established in a,
mist-blue jersey dress that moldsi
and tapers to your form in draped!
and flowing lines like those of the-
gown shown to the right in the trio
of evening modes pictured above.1
Drapery treatments are very im
portant and are outstanding this’
season. They are ever so easy to
manipulate, even for the inexperi-:
enced, with the aid of a new molded',
to-you thermo-plastic dress forauj
With an exact reproduction of you*|
figure before you, it requires no:
special gift to drape the folds of d|
material in a way that will most ef*1
fectively dramatize your silhouette,;
Gay and inexpensive materials
make the luxurious looking dinner
dress centered in the group above.
There is style distinction reflected in
the chrome yellow velveteen jacket
that hangs with easy grace from
broad-looking shoulders encrusted
with importantly new embroidered
motifs that are repeated on the pock
ets. This jacket would be lovely with
a candle-slim- forest green crepe
floor-length skirt. Believe it or not,
the embroidered motifs that so defi
nitely enhance this jacket were,
stitched up in practically no time on
a modem sewing machine, and the

White Fur I Rain Now Calls for
Gay Fashion Parade
Away with somber attire on a
rainy day! No longer are Ieaden-'
cast skies, downpours of rain' and'
muddy streets a sign that one must;
match the somberness of the scene
with clothes equally depressing. Ac
cording to the new theory, a rainy
day is just the time to come out in
bright array. In fact, rainy days
are turning into cheerful events.
There are gay new capes, fitted
coats and trench model coats, some
in white, some in blue and, most ex
citing of all, those in bright red
rainproof transparencies or proc
essed cloth, if you prefer. You can
get red or white boots to match.
There’s style and charm, too, in
the new processed black satin rain
coats that are fashioned with smart
details and given a glamour touch,
in that the newest out are fashioned
with jeweled buttons.
In keeping with the vogue for
“winter white,” this season, comes
the prediction from furriers that
snow white lamb will prove one of
the most popular furs of the season.
The young set is “rushing" the
idea. It’s a treat to the eye to see
young girls wearing coats like the
one pictured.' These coats are strik
ingly new, and they top the now-so-
modish white jersey “date” dresses
to perfection.
Magazine Tells What the
College Girl Is Wearing
According to a new women’s mag-:
azine:
CoRege co-eds are braiding their
hair in “country cousin” style.
Earrings are being worn with the
braids.
Sxfy inch pearls worn on “Sloppy
Joe” cardigans are “tops” every
where.
Cowboy boots, plaid sweaters,
lime yellow shirts, corduroy jack
ets, the “V” neck sweater and knee
length argyle, plaid socks also
storm the American campus scene.
For the Young
' Take yards and yards of bright
red net. Fashion this into a IuU
skirt. Top this with a snug-fitting'
bodice made of jersey in matching
red. Outline the decoUetage, sleeve
edges and finish off the waistline
with a single-row beading of spar

Don’t forget to write it 1942.
A happy New Year, despite the
fact that the entire civilized world
is in war, or on the verge of war.
It is said that the Democrats will
nominate a new man to represent
Dawie in the next legislature. We
thought so.
We didn’t get our persimmon
pudding but through the kindness
ot Robert Woodruff we enjoyed a
jug of fine locust beer.
We trust that our correspondents
thoughout the county will start the
new year right by sending 11 s the
news every week during the coming
year.
So far as we have been able to
learn no one was killed or serioi
Iy injured in auto wrecks in Davie
during the holidays. For the first
time in a number ot vears we didn’t
see a drunken man on the streets
during the holiday season.
To all those who subscribed for
or renewed their subscriptions to
The Record during the holidays, we
wish to extend our thanks. To
those who failed to do so, will say
that we have many receipts left and
trust that they will call or send us
their renewals as early as possible.
W ith the cost of all office supplies,
and the cost of living going up by
leaps and bounds it takes money to
print even a small newspaper. At
our low rate of subscription every
familv in the county sboold read
The Record. For more than forty,
two years this paper has been read
by the people of Mocksville and
Davie county.

Installment 3
Dan, as usual, had written a
long and rambling letter. AU the
town gossip was listed. “Old Lady
Cilden died. Ninety-two she was.
Se had a big funeral and the Gazette
ran a swell editorial on the front
page. And Hannah CantweU finally
married that traveling man she’s
been sniping for these last ten years.
Mom is going to miss handling their
letters. It used to give her some
thing to talk about for days. Greg
Henderson and MoUy have busted up
again. She’s talking about a di
vorce, but nobody takes it seriously.
Mountain Creek’s idea of marriage
is to stick together and fight it out.
And speaking of marriage, if you
happen to get tired of HoUywood one
of these days, you stiU have that op
tion on me.”
SaUy mopped her eyes, shame
facedly, like a child, on the back of
her hand. Odd that Dan’s casuaUy
affectionate letter could move her
so deeply, could pierce her with such
IoneUness and discontent.
She read her mother’s letter wist-
fuUy. It would be nice to go home
for Christmas, she thought, suddenly
weary of HoUywood’s perpetual trop
ic charm. Christmas in Mountain
Creek would be white, she remem
bered. The pine needles would be
glazed with ice. There would be
skating on HaUam Lake, bobsled
ding on Ganby HiU. Christmas in
Mountain Credc would be brisk and
neighborly and intimate.
The desk clerk shriUed across the
lobby. “Phone for you, Miss Shan
non.”
It was a man’s voice. “SaUy Shan
non? This is Mort Meyers.”
“Yes, Mr. Meyers?” Mort Mey
ers, of Super Pictures.
“We’re starting work on ‘Small
Town’ next week. There might be
a bit for you there. Not just ordina
ry extra stuff. If you’U drop around
tomorrow—”
Breathlessly, “Oh, yes, Mr. Mey
ers!”A voice behind her rasped the si
lence with steel-edged accents. “Got
a caU, kid?”
It was Moma Dunlap, another em
bryo box-office attraction. SaUy nod
ded with rapture. “That was Mort
Meyers,” she babbled. “They’re
testing for ‘SmaU Town’ and he
thinks there might be a bit for me.”
Moma’s smile chilled. “Watch
that bird,” she cautioned.
SaUy became immediately defen
sive. “It was wonderful of him to
remember and caU me."
“Now look here, kid,” Moma’s
sharp face was anxious. “It’s none
of my business, and therefore I can
discuss it largely. That guy’s a
wolf. He eats Uttle girls up. Espe-
ciaUy Uttle girls from hick towns.
If he’s got a bit for you, there’U be
plenty of twine attached.• * •
The next day SaUy kept remem
bering Mor.ia’s vehement tirade.
“Look here,” he was saying per
suasively, “a guy like me could do
a lot for a Uttle gal like you—”
But what were Moma’s words—
"plenty of twine attached” ?
“What are you doing this week
end?” Before she could reply he
went on: “Maybe we could take a
Uttle drive through the country. We
could have dinner at the Prairie Dog
and maybe dance later on?” .
She heard herself saying, “Why,
that’d be lovely.”“Pity we haven’t time to motor
to Palm Springs. But maybe over
Christmas — ever been to Palm
Springs?”
She turned upon him a smfle daz
zling in its radiance. “I’ve never
been to Palm Springs,” she admit
ted. “But I’d love to go—some
time.”“Would Christmas do?” SaUy did
not look at his mouth.“Christmas,” she said calmly,
“would be deUghtful.”• * *
Sally did not answer her letters
that night. She could not face her
mother or Dan, even by so remote a
medium as notepaper. She tossed
in restless dreams where a man
with sHppery eyes was inviting her
home to Mountain Creek for. Christ
mas and a taU boy with freckles was
offering her the best ingenue part of
the season. And aU she could say in
reply was, “Maybe next Christ
mas—”« • •
“And,” said Ma Shannon firmly,
“I want a Star of Bethlehem. For
the top of the tree.”Dan Davis fished into, a large box
of electrical ornaments.
“Looks like this is going to be a
big Christmas.”
"Biggest in my life,”- said Ma
proudly. “Just the way it used to
be when the Big Do.c was aUve. AU
the youngsters home—turkey with
chestnut filling—sweet potatoes and
corn and mashed potatoes and giblet
gravy and hot mince pie with hard
sauce. A Christmas tree with candy
canes and tinsel and popcorn and a
star.” Ma’s eyes grew moist and
she blundered into ber handbag, to
cover her aching tenderness.
“Hey! You’re forgetting thecandle
m the window and. the door left
unlatched!”

“I never locked my door on Christmas Eve yet,” said Ma, “in
case, well—jnst in case—”
“I never locked my door'on Christ
mas Eve, yet,” Ma said scorafuUy.
“And I always had a couple of can
dles burning in the window. In case
—well—just in case—”
“My grandmother was Irish,”
Dan said soberly, “and she always
did that. Said it was to welcome
the Christ Child.”
“It’s more than that,” Ma
snapped. “It’s to welcome anybody
that’s got no place to go on Christ
mas Eve. Many’s the night the Big
Doc and me put up tramps for
Christmas Eve. There’s still lots of
people can’t find room at the inn.”
Dan said he’d cut a Christmas
tree for her in the next few days.
“You’re a good boy, Danny,” Ma
reached up and.ruffled the untidy
sandy hair.
“I’d make a good son-in-law,” he
grinned shamelessly.
“If only Sally had the sense she
was bom with.” Ma’s mouth was
grim. “What does she expect to find
in Hollywood that she won’t find
here in Mountain Creek — except
money, of course?”
Dan’s eagerness excused Sally.
“She’s so pretty, Ma,” he said wist
fully. “And she’s always wanted to
be an actress, ever since she got
that swell write-up for being in the
high school play.”
“We’ve got to be patient with Sal
ly,” said Ma. “She’s like her fa
ther. She gets notions and she’s got
to find her way out of them. One
of these days she’ll get good and
tired of Hollywood, of hanging on
and being lonesome and away from
home.
“I wrote to her,” Dan smiled qui
etly, “about coming home for Christ
mas, I mean. I thought maybe—
maybe this time she wouldn’t go
back again if I—if I—”
“Maybe she won’t!” Ma’s tones
were hopeful. "Sally’s not like Lyd
ia, you know. Lydia’s smart and
sharp and, well, a little hard. Ken
neth is like that, too. But Robert,
he was always a frightened little
boy. And Sally—Sally’s the same.
They’re babies. They’re weaker
than the others. We have to be pa
tient with weak people.
* * •
Ma Shannon surveyed her shabby
house with pardonable pride. It
throbbed with the spirit of Christ
mas.Every curtain had been washed,
-ironed and rehung at windows that
sparkled like crystal. Ma had raced
her grudging heart in a superhuman
effort to make the little house as
lovely and as welcoming as it could
be.
Dan was coming to trim the
Christmas tree and to help move
some of the heavy furniture upstairs.
Each of the rooms would be as the
children remembered it.
Ma had all her Christmas pres-,
ents wrapped and ready. She had
thought with great care on the prob
lem of dividing, her meager little
treasures among her four children.^
' The mahogany highboy for Ken
neth, of course. Kenneth knew all
about antiques and periods and de
signers. So the highboy stood in
his mother’s room, gaudily ribboned
and tagged-.
The family silver for Lydia; what
there was Irft of it; the heavy water
pitcher, the graceful bread tray, the
quaint old butter dish, all wrapped
in bright tissur to be placed 'under
the tree.
His father’s beloved library for
Robert, to whom the printed word
was a song sweeter than the angels
sing. Many treasured old favorites
and a few really good first edi
tions.The patchwork quilt, of course, for
Sally. And some chipped china,
fragile and transparent. And the
little willow rocker she had always .
loved. Ma added, as an after- i
thought, the faded old sampler of the
Lord’s Prayer in its dull mr.ple
frame.
'Where could Dan be? Ma glared
at the hoarse-voiced old clock and
fretted with impatience.
Up the steep hill below the house
floated the sound of a motor in dire
distress. Heedless of her pounding
heart, Ma rushed to the door, u
Dan was late because he had
brought someone up from town—
The engine coughed pitifully,
wheezed to a stop and subsided
with strange clankings and grunts.
But Dan was alone.
Dan piled package after package
on the scrubbed kitchen table.
“From Mom, and Aimt Millie, and
the butcher, and some of the folks
down town. And these”—pointing
to two bulky manila-swathed boxes
—“these came in the mail.”
"New York and Baltimore,”
mused Ma. “I guess maybe Lydia
and Robert didn’t want to be both
ered carting them here by train.”
Dan’s face was wooden as he
tossed three letters on the table.
“These came in, too.” He turned
away awkwardly.
Ma’s lips thinned to a sharp blue
line. One by one she ripped open
the envelopes. Then her wide, pan
ic-haunted eyes turned .to Dan.
“They can’t make it,” she said
flatly. “Lydia, Robert, Kenneth. Not
this Christmas, anyway. They say,”
she laughed sharply, an ugly, mirth
less laugh,, “they say maybe next
Christmas. But Danny,” her voice
shrilled suddenly, . “maybe next
Christmas might be too late.”
“There’s always Sally,” Dan re
minded.
Ma beamed through hurt tears.
“Why, of course,” , she said.
“There’s always Sally I”* * *
Christmas Eve had finally come CO
Mountain Creek, not in the bright
unseasonable guise that had adorned
December for the last .few weeks,
but unexpectedly chill. A discour
aged sun intermittently pried
through heavy clouds, and the air
was still with that leaden silence
that walks before a storm.
“Going to have a white Christ
mas after all,” Ma Shannon confided
to the Big Doc’s picture hanging on
the wall. Ma found herself talking to
that picture a lot these lonely days.
The picture returned a wise, un
derstanding stare. ,
Ma took the three 'worn letters
from her apron pocket and reread
them for the hundredth time.
“They’d all be home for Christ
mas,” she explained once more to
her husband’s photograph, “oniy,
well, you see how things are. Lydia
says her boss went and invited scads
of people to the house for the holi
days. His wife’s an invalid, not ex
pected to last long, either. So Lyd
ia’s got to take care of things.” Ma
was pathetically anxious that the
Doc understand. “He depends on
Lydia a lot, you know.” Ma brushed
off a tear. “We all get lonely at
Christmas, don’t we? And we' can’t
expect Lydia to drop a good job like
that just to run home for a. few
days.
“And Kenneth’s tied up at that
clinic. We all have to pay for suc
cess one way or another, Kit. Re
member how we couldn’t go on a
honeymoon because Mrs. Berger
was going to have a baby and you
were afraid to leave her? That’s the
way it is with doctors, I guess.
Though it would have been nice to
have Kenneth home, and the baby,
too. She’s a sweet little thing, Kit.
Spoiled, of cou’rse, but I guess all
only children get spoiled. I-don’t
like Ken’s wife much. She’s sort of
standoffish and snobby, but that’f
because they have so much money
And they seem happy togetl er.”

Lesson for January 11

THE INFANCY AND BOYHOOD
OF JESUS
LESSON TEXT—Luke 2:23-35. 39. 40. COIDEN TEXT—Jesus increased In wisdom and Stature, and In favor with God and man.—Luke 2:52.
'4Nobody knows wbat a boy is worth.And the world must wait to see;For every man In an honored placeIs a boy that used to be."
Jesus was “only a boy” as He
grew through infancy and childhood,
but in that baby and that boy rest
ed all the hopes of mankind. While
He was not just like any other boy,
yet His growth and development
were normal, and we may learn
much that will enable us to help the
boy in our home, in our block, or in
our church.
The mother of Jesus, in fulfill
ment of the law . of her people, on
the eighth day identified Him with
the nation (Luke 2:21), and then
at the end of 40 days brought Him,
with her humble sacrifice, to pre
sent Him to the Lord. There a
beautiful and prophetic scene took
place as the Holy Spirit revealed
to godly old Simeon His
L Complete Salvation—in a Baby
(w . 25-35).
The Holy Spirit (not yet come as
the indwelling presence in believers’
hearts) had come upon Simeon, a
man right with God and with a deep
longing in his heart for the coming
of the Messiah—“the consolation of
Israel.” He was assured of living
until that day, and now as he waited
in the temple the babe who fulfilled
that promise was laid in his arms.
He blessed God as he broke forth
in praise and prophetic utterance.
Note the full conception of the work
of the Redeemer—deliverance from
bondage and fear of death, light to
the Gentiles and glory to Israel, a
stone of stumbling but also of rising
again. A revealer of the hearts of
men—yes, and One whose sacrifi
cial death would pierce the heart
of His mother.
One is glad that Simeon and Anna
(v. 36) and “them that looked for
redemption in Jerusalem” saw in
Mary’s infant son the Son of God
incarnate, for round about was un
belief (John 1:11), hatred (Matt.
2:16), and indifference (Matt. 2:4,
5).
Is it not so today? Christmas has
just been celebrated. How many
saw the babe in the manger as Je
sus the Saviour?
The scene changes—the little fam
ily is back in Nazareth in the hum
ble home—and there we see
H- Perfect Development in a Boy
(w . 39, 40).
The period from infancy to ac
countability (12 years) is summed
up in the full-orbed growth of 'the
boy Jesus described in verse 40.
The one business of every child
from birth to 12, or somewhere
around there, until the period of ado
lescence, is to grow without any
sense of responsibility except obedi
ence to authority; and obedience in
the case of a child is always in or
der to give the child perfect free
dom from’everything else, without
any sense of responsibility. That is
the story of Jesus: He grew!” (G.
Campbell Morgan).
Growth is, first of all, physical.
Jesus stands by the side of every
boy and girl as the body grows from
babyhood to maturity, for He too
knew that experience. We may talk
to Him as an understanding friend
about the physical needs and prob
lems of our children. Let us re
member that here, as elsewhere in
Scripture, the physical body is rec
ognized as important.
Mentally, He experienced growth.
The strange, apocryphal tales about
the child Jesus, representing Him as
a man of mature wisdom in a child’s*
body, do not compare even remote
ly with-the beautiful naturalness of
a keen-minded boy asking questions,
observing, always learning.* Boys
and girls, you may talk with confi
dence to Him about your lessons,
your growing interest in this excit
ing world of ours, of your need for
guidance in learning. Be sure that
He will understand. ’
The crowning touch upon the
growing personality of the child is
ffie spiritual. We read of Jesus that
“the grace of God was upon him.”
“Grace,” says Dr. Morgan, “is first,
that which delights and charms.
Grace, secondly, is desire to impart
to others the things that make them
happy. .Grace, finally, is the ac
tivity that does this at all costs.” A
gracious child is an altogether de
Ughtful being; and when that gra
ciousness is the result of the “grace
of God” upon him, it is surpassingly
lovely, for it makes him ChristUke,.
even in the days' of childhood.
GVeat and grave has been the
neglect of the spiritual life of chil
dren for whom much has been done
physically and mentaUy. Christian
parents must not make that mistake
—and they, need not, for the Lord
Jesus here too stands ready to coun
sel, guide, encourage, and strength
en them in every good purpose and
deed.

Safety Assured for Tiny Tourists
Tiny tourists sometimes grow restless on Ioag motor trips and their limitless energy and cariosity require
double checking to insure that every safety precaution is being taken by their parents. With the entire rear compartment of the family Chevrolet as his personal play
ground, this youngster assumes a favorite perch that ordinarily would be dangerous. However, a simple adjust
ment, easily made by Chevrolet mechanics, converted the
rear door handle to a safety-action handle, which “free wheels” and does not open the door. After the lode is ad
justed to safety position, as indicated in the inset, Uie lode
button is depressed and the inride handle then will not open the door, rendering it “child-proof.” Release of the lock button enables the driver to open the door as usud.

“Yesterday’s Wife”
A serious national problem, pecu
liar to this post-repeal age, is that
of drinking mothers, wives, and-
daughters.Alcoholism among women was
never a problem in former days. .
ThroughoutAmericanhistory-until
1933—women were more like the fol
lowers of the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Un
ion ; th e y a b
stained them
selves and they
tried by persua
sion, religion, and
legislation to keep
alcohol away from
their'menfolk.
Even today, the
W. C. T. U., the
g reat w om en’s
organizations, the
churches are proof that most women
still are not drinkers.
Yet, these groups are concerned
over the increase in women drink
ers, such as that reported in a Chi
cago newspaper in mid-1941.
The secretary of the .Illinois Hu
mane Society reported more drink
ing among women than for 40 years.
The director said: ‘‘We’ve more
trouble than we ever had with wom
en neglecting their families.”
This one society reported seven
out of IS court cases where mothers
preferred drinking to looking after
their families, four were alcoholics
and were placed in institutions.
Another report, from a widely-
known alcoholism institute, says
that addiction is more prevalent
among house wives and mothers than
among career women. The average
age of the feminine alcoholic was
given as a little over forty years.
The report reads: ‘‘The women in
business or a profession can not af
ford to drink to
excess . . . Soon
er or later their
economic loss re
sults. On the oth
er hand Uie fam
ily of the married
woman who
drinks usually
conspire to con
ceal her weak
ness from the
outside world. At
first her alcoholic
habits are not ap
parent, as she drinks during the day
when her husband is at work, her
children at school. Eventually, as
she is no longer able to hide the aft
er effect of intoxication behind her
plea of headache or illness, her fam
ily is ashamed and guards her se
cret more closely than ever."

First war poster of the new World War, painted by the distinguished artist
James Montgomery Flagg, carries an appeal for a 150,000,000 war fund ts aid
the victims of aggression upon the United States and Its Island possess lone.
To aid the victims of warfare being
waged upon America and her island
possessions, the American Red Cross
has issued an appeal tor a $50,'000.000
war fund, Chairman Norman H. Davis
announced from the national headquar
ters in Washington.
Mr. Davis urged men, women and
children to give to this mercy fund
through their local Red Cross Chap
ters. These funds will support the
Chapter’s war work with the families
of men in the military services, as well
as the broad relief program of the
national Red Cross.
President Roosevelt, who is presi
dent of the American Red Cross, is
sued a proclamation urging all citizens
to give to the Red Cross war fund.
In launching the appeal, OhnIsnM
Davis said:
"There are millions of our cMsona
who desire today to demonstrate their
will to vietory over the enemy. Not all
can be In the armed forces, and net
all can volunteer their services for
IinmsnitaHan work; hut all c m volun
teer their dollars to arm the Bed Croaa
to be their representative at the scene
of battle and distress:
"Today is the day to demonstrate
our high morale, our unity, otir deter
mination not alone to support our
President and our fighting men at the
front, but also to insure to our wound
ed, homeless and suffering fellow citi
zens In our Pacific Islands that we
stand one hundred per cent ready to
aid them through the Red Cross."

All's Well That Ends
James H. Pou Baileyj TwCutyi
four-year old son of Senator jbffiih
W. Bailey, having given np bis
fight to avoid conscription, and
now being slated by his Raleigh
draft board to report for military
service at Fort Bragg on Jaauary
9. is today just another young A-
merlcan in line for training as a
soldier. ;
Therefore, are can cease to con
sider him news for the time-being
at least.
Yonng Bailey sprang into the
lime-light after he had requested de
ferment last May, when he asked
time, to complete his law course.
However, on July 31 he notified his
draft board that he bad received an
FBI appointment and desired an
other deferment until December 1,
to give time to try and qualify as
an agent of the government. The
draft board, though, proceeded to
classify him in i-A for induction on
August 7. Thenfollowed an ap
peal, and. later the case was refer,
red back to the local board. Mop.
day afternoon the yonny man |
tided to withdraw bis objections' to
being drafted, and by late after
noon he had been slated for intro,
duction at Fort Braggon January 9,

Jonafi Is Likely Candi
date.
Charles A. Jonas, Lincolnton1
national committeeman o f th e
North Carolina Republicans, one of
the most po ular men in western
Carolina in either partv, is being
talked as the most likely candidate
of the Republicans to represent the
new iotb district in Congress. The
elections will be he'd in 1942.
Jonas has served ip Congress and
knows the way around Washing
ton. He is one of the most capable
men in that entire section and even
though the new 10th district was
ffi gerrymandered by the Democrats
to make sure that a Democrat would
be elected, things may go awrv for
them—especially should Jonas be
the G O. P. candidate
Cam Morrison, of Charlotte, who
served a term as governor, and
went to the United States Senate
by virtue of appointment at the
hands of Governor O. Max Gard
ner of Shelby, has annonnced he is
ItibLndidate for the Democratic no
mination It will be recalled that
Gardner was defeated for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor in
1920 by Morrison by around 300
votes. Gardner then waited eight
years and ran again, winning with-
OUt serious opposition.
With Morrison in the Senate and
Gardner in the governor’s office,
things began to shape up political
ly with Gardner, Morrison and
Clyde Hoey forming a triumvirate
that became the directing bead of
the Democratic Dartv in North Ca
rolina. They made and unmade
governors, congressmen and the
like. The three men became fast
personal and political friends
Now Morrison wants the seat in
Congress from the new 10th dis
trict The Hoey and Gardner in
fluence may win the nomination for
him. The new district is composed
of Mecklenburg. Lincoln, Catawba,
Burke, Mitchell and Avery coun
ties. The sage of Mecklenburg be.
came 72 years of age on October 5.
So, things are shaping once again
inside the Democratic ranks. Mor
rison is to seek the totb district seat
and CIydeHoey is expected , to go
after the seat in the United States
Senate held (by Reynolds in the
1942 elections. Two members of
that old triumvirate will be once a
gain candidates and they are hoping
the influence of each will help both
to win.
But they are not taking Charley
Jonas into consideration. The Lin-
colnton dynamo would win over
Cam Morrison, is the opinion of
party leaders of both Democratic
and Republican ranks from that
section. They are fearing be will
become the Republican nominee.
Hamilton Jones, another Charlotte
politico-Iawver, may upset the Mor
rison apple cart for he wants to go
to Congress, too. He hopes to beat
Morrison in the primary.
No matter who wins the Demo
cratic nomination, he will be facing
the greatest fight of his life in the
general election if Charley Jonas
decides to make the race. Jonas is
a seasoned campaigner; he is popu.
Iar with everybody; he has never
made any political enemies—nor
any other kind so far as we know
—and would make an ideal con
gressman. So stick a pin right
here. If Jouas runs tLe Tar Heel
congressional family will not be 100
per cent Democratic—they say.

Down The Old Road
Home
Rev. Walter E. Ieenhour. Hiddenite,. N. C.
I picture in my mind today
Reveals a read so dear.
Where as a Child I used to play
Withoat a sigh or fear.
And makes me long to taka a walk
Down to the old home place.
And with departed loved talk.
And with mi playmates race.
I’ve traveled down the old road home
So many, many times.
And often think I’d like to roam ., .
Back to those sunny climes,
Arid see the dogwood and the pine.
The flowers gay and bright.
And walk beside the friends of mine
That time has hid from sight"
Along this dear old country road
The farmers came aud went.
And underneath a heavy load
Their backs were often bent:
Bot still they whistled some gay tune
Or sang an old time song
While resting ’neatb shade at noon,.
Or as they walked alond.
And lovers, too. went side by side
Along this pieasant road.
Where they no longer had to hide
The iove they then bestowed;
And here, perhaps, it was they chose
Each for a mate in life,
Which brought their courtship to a
close
And they were man and wife.
But many changes bave been made
As years bave come and gone;
The placei where we children played
In road or field, or lawn
Don’t look today as they did then.
The old road isn’t there;
The boys are gone, likewise the men.
Whose joys I used to share.
Eh Is of Drunkenness.
Benjamin Franklin said some
thing many years ago that is still
just as true and vital as the day he
said it He said: “Some of the do
mestic evils of drunkenness are
houses without windows, gardens
without fences, fields without til
Iage, barns without roofs, children
without clothing, principle, morals,
or manners. Temperance puts
wood on the fire, meals iu the bar-
rels, flour in the tub, money in the
purse, credit in the country, con
tentment in the house, clothes on
the children, vigor in the body, in
telligence in the brain, and spirit in
tbe whole constitution.” —Ex:
Bessie And The Draftee
(Chicago Sun)
The Selective Service Act has
brought to light Wisconsin’s fine
concern over tbe cattle within her
borders. We learn that desertion
of a milk cow is punishable by fine,
imprisonment, or both.
And so James Montgom.ry of the
IndIewiId Inn, near Sawyer, is up
against it; he has no one with
whom to leave Bessie, a cow.
A canvass of neighbors brings out
tbe regrettable fact that nobody
seems to want. Bessie. True, she
gives milk, but, as the poet puts it,
she is “uncertain, coy and bard to
please.” And it appears that in
still other ways Bessie falls short of
tbe Tigid standards of good society
among miicb cows.
In farm parlance, she is an ornery
critter; she doesn’t like to be milk
ed, she invariably kicks over tbe
bucket when it is about. filled, she
uses her tail with effect as a whip,
she definitely has B. 0 . and hali
tosis.
Now James cannot, under 'the
law, take Bessie out of the state and
unload her vices on a stranger. He
is not even permitted to pay Bessie
a sort of alimony during the dura
tion of the war by boarding her ont.
-Looks as though the Army will
have take Bessie, too.

Nativity Scene Atop
Mountain.
Undaunted by disaster tbat has
taken peace from tbe world, two
great choirs uf 50 voices each, three
“shepbeds” “wise men.” a ’’Mary,”
a “Joseph”, an “angel” considered
strictly similar to the Bethlehem
in the Holy Land, and an “inn keep- .
er enacted on Christmas Eve a nati
vity pageant of unmatched realism
atop 2.000-foot Bnrger "mountain
near Murphy.
Willing hands had prepared a >e-
plica of the Bethlehem 0 f Bible
times at the eastern entrance of a
great natural ampithaatre between
Ten Commandments aLffi “Sermon
on the Meant” peaks. "A'“ Field of
the Shepherds” had been set apart a
quarter of a mile distant at the west
ern entrance. At the center of the
vista, in the “Fields of the Wood”
on the hill side, there was a cave used
for a stable, wherein appeared the
manager in a corona of rose-colored
light
A fleck of sheep occupied the field
with the shepherds "Joseph” and
■’Mary,” finding “no room in the
inn,” made their way around a wind
ing mountain path to the Btable, she
seated upon a burro. The “Wise
Men,” dismounted from their camels
seeing the start in the night-piercing
brightness 200 feet above the man
ger, entered and offered their gifts
of gold, frankincense and mvrrb.
In the ‘-midnight clear” of this
'silent night” the mountain was in
complete darkness, the moon having
set 19 minutes before.
Rev, Giiy Marlow, of Louisville,
Ky., international secretary’ of the
Churdi of God Sunday - Schools,
sponsored the program and super
vised the construction of the pagant
scene, declared it was one of tbe
notable and elaborate Chnstmas pa*
geants ever attempted. A large
crowd wiffinessed its presentation.

"Robert’s going to some big shin
dig with a publisher,” she contin
ued. “Thinks maybe it’ll be a turn
ing point for him. And it might
be at that. Maybe Robert’s got
something neither you nor I could

that money. He said he was down

with children, Kit, they grow up and
we lose track of them. I don’t know
anything about the youngsters, what
they think, what they do, whether
they’re sick or well, or anything. I
guess,” the tears fell unashamed,
“I guess maybe I was too busy
trying to get them raised , and fed

heatedly, “I did the best I could. If

She’s pretty as a speckled hen. But
I wish she’d get over that nonsense
about being an actress and marry
Banny Davis. I’d feel better going
off and leaving things if I knew she
was being taken care of.”
Down at the foot of the hill there
was a sudden chugging of a motor.
’I The car pottered lackadaisically
\ up the hill, wheezing at every turn.’
', It was not Danny’s perilous open Ja-
,loppy but Sim Bamstead in the town
''■/*axi.
Ma smootheu down her apron and
waited, trembling with rapture. The
taxi looped casually around the final
turn, coasted to a.screeching stop
before the house. But—Ma’s heart
stopped—save for Sim in his moth-
eaten bearskin coat and worn beav
er earmuffs—the taxi was empty.
Sim erupted from the driver’s seat
and lumbered up the front steps.
“Got a telegram for you, Ma,” he
bellowed at the top of his powerful
lungs. “M’wife made me tote it
* right up in case it’s important.’
The telegram burned Ma’s fingers
like a sharp flame. She quietly
ripped it open and read the message’
Sally had at last gathered courage
enough to send before she packed
her bag for a Christmas in Palm
Springs:
“Mummy, darling. I can’t make
it. Stop. Got a part in a new show
and have to Ieam my lines. Stop.
Give my love to the rest of the kids
and keep a lot for yourself. Stop.
Letter and package follow. Stop.
Sorry. Loads of love and better luck

Longthreatenedbygrayskiesand
sullen horizons, Mountain Creek’s
prophesy of a white Christmas was’
being fulfilled. The first few flakes
were great, white, leisurely things,
floating carelessly through the heavy
air, beautiful isolated stars of frozen
loveliness.
Ma stood at her parlor window
and watched the winding road dis
appear under the assault of the bliz
zard. .
Darkness swooped down from the
hills on a heavy wing. Soon the
road was a smoky blur in the shad
ows, and the trees were gaunt ghosts
wrestling with invisible giants. Ma
turned from the window and care
fully tended the fire.
“Wonder if the road’ll be closed
oft? ” she thought bitterly. “Not that
it much matters. Only Dan DID
say he’d’ come up on Christmas.
It would be nice to have somebody
in on Christmas.”
She plodded into the kitchen for a
lonely meal. The icebox was piled
with food, and Ma made a wry face
at it. “Waste,” she sniffed, “and:
with hungry people walking’ the
streets!”
She made a cheerless supper, of
odds and ends of leftovers, washed
down tastelessly with a cup.ofaturdy-
tea.
The clock in the parlor coughed
apologetically, then, spat out nine
wheezing strokes. Ma turned out-the
lamp and crept into the big, thread-.
bare chair before the fireplace,
racked in an abandonment of grief
and loneliness.
How long she. sat there she did not
know, could never have told.
Suddenly Ma sat upright. Was

one swift second, Ma noted that his
coat was a thin and sleazy Spring
model, utterly unsuited to turning
the edge of .such .bitter cold. He
twisted a ragged hgt in his glove-
less hands.
“I saw your lights. Ma’am,” he
said hurriedly. “Is there—is there a
man in toe house?”
“I’m alone,” Ma admitted rashly.
“But come in, man. You’ll freeze
out there in that miserable coat.
Come in, I say.”
“I’ve got to have help. Tve got
to have help right away.” His face
was gray with cold and terror. 4Ts
there another bouse .up the road?
My wife—”
“This is toe only house on the
mountain side,” Ma snapped.
_ “But I’ve got to have help. My
wife—” .
“Your fwife? Out in a night like
this? Good heavens, man, you must
be out of your mind. Where is she?”
. “She’s—down the road.” The man
was frantic with anxiety. “She’s
sick. I’ve got to get help. Haveyou a phone,?”-
Ma was sqftirming into her shabby
coat, jamming her shapeless old
hat down over her eyes, drawing on;
a darned Woolen scarf and-mittens.
“I haven’t got a phone. We’ll just
have to go out and bring her in our
selves, that’s all. Where is she?”
“In the barn at the first torn
down toe road. We’ve got to hurry,
I tell you.”
“Here!” Ma thrust a lantern into
his blue, cracked hands. She opened
toe door and they flung themselves
out into the swirling snow. “What’s
the matter with-her? ”
The : .wind snatched i the answer
from his lips. Ma clutched at his’
arm and together they plunged for
ward into toe storm.
They stumbled through foe - dark

The main’s face was a white blur
in the flickering lantern light. “We
were trying to make toe next town..
Our car broke, down and we fried to
get to a house. It’s—” ,
Ma cut him short. “Time to tell
me that later on.” She turned to the
woman. 44The. house is less than a
quarter, of a ihiie, off. You can’t

“I’m sorry to be a bother,” toe

my neck. Wouldn’t be the first time
a baby was bora In a stable—and on
Christmas Eve at that. But no use
staying here if we can make the
house. Get her on toe other side,”
she commanded.
The journey back to toe house was
endless. The wind had grown
stronger, and the snow swirled in a
suffocating blanket about the slow-
moving trio. At every few feet they
would stop to give the women a
breathing spell, then they would
plunge forward once more.
. When foe old familiar pain had
taken permanent lodging in Ma’s
breast, and it did not seem that she
could stagger forward a single step
more, the low flicking candles in
the window shot a dim light through
toe storm.
“Last lap,” Ma gasped.
The shabby little parlor had never
reached out such welcoming arms.
44Pat Her on the sofa,” Ma or
dered, “and get her out of those
clothes. Better not try to get her
upstairs. Warmer, and more con
venient here.” She smiled wryly.
“This is a stylish baby. It’s going to
be born in a parlor.”
Hot water — sheets — antiseptic
—Ma was everywhere, frantically
checking toe necessary supplies. In
toe kitchen, .alone for a moment, she
leaned against foe wall, her hand
to her heart, and saw the homely
kitchen furnishings reel before her
blurred eyes.
44Oh, dear Lord,” she prayed, “not
-yet. ,I’m not ready. There’s a baby
coming—”
- The agonizing vise about her chest
slowly eased, foe room snapped
back into focus, - Ma brushed the
back of her hand across her blue
lips, blinked furiously and muttered,
44Thanks." Then she snatched foe
kettle from foe stove and plodded
parlorward.
The woman on foe sofa smiled
-wanly; In fop. firelight her face
was thin and pinched but young and
lovely and unafraid. Ma’s practiced

JOHN THE BAPTIST AND JESUS
LESSON TEXT—Luke 3:1-4, 15-17, 21. 22. COLDEN TEXT-Thou art my beloved Son; In thee I am well pleased.—Luke 3:22.
V (TOBECONTlNVtD)
44A reed shaken with foe wind?”
No. 44A man clothed in soft rai
ment?” No. “A prophet? Yea, I
say unto you, and more than a
prophet. For this is he, of whom it
is written, Behold, I send my mes
senger before toy face. . . . Verily I
say Unto you, Among them that are
bom of women-there hath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist.”
Such was foe testimony of Jesus
(Matt. 11:7-11) about foe man who
in our lesson of today bears his tes
timony concerning Jesus.
I. John: the Preacher of Repent
ance (w . 1-3).
The times in which a man lives
will often make or break him. If
times are dark and difficult most
men submit to foe burden of foe day
without protest or effort. But not so
with John. The period in which he
lived is graphically brought before
us as we consider foe names of civil
and religious leaders mentioned in
verses I and 2. Tiberius Caesar,
foe emperor, was virtual dictator,
“talented, ambitious, cruel, licen
tious, infamous, inhuman” (Van
Doren). Pilate was foe governor of
Judea, who later condemned Jesus
to foe cross. Herod was a seducer
and murderer. Annas and Caiaphas
shared the infamy into which the
priesthood had fallen.
God needed a man with a flam
ing message of judgment, and He
had him ready out in foe wilder
ness, far from decadent Rome and
spiritually dead Jerusalem. Upon
this man John-came toe message,
a word from God—44R epent"-which
stirred the whole countryside. But
he had even a greater mission.
H- John—foe Forerunner of Jesus
(w . 4-6).
He humbly identifies himself as
toe voice in the wilderness prophe
sied by Isaiah. His was foe impor
tant duty of preparing the way for
toe coming of the Lord Jesus.
The picture is that of the prep
aration for the coming of an orien
tal-monarch. When he 44Was about
to make a journey, a servant was
sent before him to prepare foe high
way. Valleys needed to be filled,
hills lowered, crooked places made
straight, rough ways made smooth.
Thus, before men would be ready
to receive Christ, moral obstacles
must be removed, men must repent
of their sins and turn from them”
(Erdman).
Isaiah says that “all flesh shall
see foe salvation of God,” some
thing which God <has made possi
ble, but which we have not even yet
fully carried out. The gospel is uni
versal in its character—for all man
kind. This prophetic word will, of
course, have its complete fulfillment
when foe King comes to reign. Then
“they shall teach no more every
man his neighbor, and every man
his brother, saying, Know the Lord:
for they shall all know me, from
the least of them to the greatest
of them” (Jer. 31:34).
HI. John—foe Follower of Jesus
(w . 15-17). .
The humility of toe man, his rec
ognition of true greatness in Christ,
his willingness to efface self, is seen
in toe words of these verses and in
such other passages as John 1:29-
30, where he directed his disciples
to Jesus, whom they followed, and
John 3:26-30, where in response to
the effort to make him jealous of
Jesus because his (John’s) disci
ples followed Him, John replied,
44He must increase, but I must de
crease.” He was glad to be foe
friend .of foe Bridegroom who re
joiced when the bridegroom came
(John 3:29). He declared himself
unworthy to loose foe latchet of
Christ’s shoe (Luke 3:16).
The Christian virtue of humility
is evil spoken of by a world of force
and hatred, but it is still precious
in foe sight of God, and foe orna
ment par excellence of Christian
character. “Be clothed with humil
ity: for God resisteth the proud and
giveth grace to foe humble” (I Pet.
5:5).As he put himself in. foe back
ground, John put Christ forward as
foe one whose baptism would not be
a material element; water, indicat
ing toe inward change of repent*
ance, but would be with Hoty Ghost
fire, cleansing and transforming life.
However, the. Christ who comes as
a Saviour to the repentant one,
comes also as "the flaming fire of
judgment upon the impenitent.
There is wheat and chaff In the
world of men, and the fan of Christ
will soon separate toe wheat which
goes into His eternal garner from
foe chaff which. He will burn with
unquenchable fire. .
- Our God is a God of unfathom
able grace, but He is also a God of
.severest judgment upon those “that
obey not foe gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ.” -Read foe solemn
words of H Thessalonians 1:7-9. It
is an awful thing to. reject foe Sa
viour, and thus to make' Him our
Judge.

Farm Machinery Repair
Week
This week, January 12-17 , has
been set aside in Davie county as
farm machinery repair week. There
exists in this country today a very
definite shortage of certain metals,
while the demand for these metals
has been greatly increased by the
war. In fact, it is definitely un
derstood that the amount of new
faim machinery will be materi .lly
decreased. This-means that the
old machines must be fixed up, ad
justed and oiled, in order to last
longer, and do a more efficient job.
W ith this in mind, farmers of the
county are asked during this week
to get tbeir farm implements out of
the sheds; go over them for worn
and broken parts, and get these
parts now, or place orders tor them
in order to avoid delay during the
busy season of spring.
We cannot emphasize the impor.
tance of this too much, since the
shortage of metals will, no doubt,
become more acute as-time goes on

runiversity, newly commissioned en-
sign in the navy, was.sent to Lisboa
to dig weather reports for the wob
bly crow-hop of the NC-4 across the
ocean. Thereafter, joining the aero-
logical service, he was the weather
consultant of polar fliers, gave Lind
bergh the gun for his historic flight
to Paris, cleared or held Dr. Ecke-
ner’s blimps, served from 1922 to
1928 as head of the aerological serv
ice, and became head of the weath
er bureau on January 16, 1939.
IN ANOTHER, and possibly more
enjoyable, century, Cadet Charles
M. Wesson, known as “The Bull,”
was a famous line-bucker. at West
Ordnance Chief Point- Fof
Comet Up With
S Billion in Hand
34 years in
the ordnance
departm ent
of the army,
he has been bucking congress, try
ing to break through the line for an
appropriation touchdown, and al
most always thrown for a loss. But
now, as Major General Wesson,
chief of ordnance since 1938, he finds
his appropriation upped about 1,600
per cent to around $5,000,000,000.
General Wesson, bulky, mus
cular and appropriately beetle-
browed at 63, has been a glutton
for punishment, trying to get
goods and gear for the armed
forces. But he stands lip well
under it, with no come-back oth
er than an occasional wry wise
crack. Away back in 1920, he
made an earnest plea for anti
aircraft guns, insisting that the
bombing effectiveness of planes
was increasing rapidly and we
would be in a bad way if we
didn’t keep ahead of it. The
general might just, as well have
asked for caviar and champagne
for the daily army ration. It was
pretty much that way for the
next 20 years. And now, all at
once the man who blew in Brew
ster’s Millions is a skin-flint,
compared to the general.
He was born in St. Louis, Mo., and
was graduated from West Point in
1800.
In 1907, he joined the ordnance
department, made good on his job
as a hard-working, and competent
technician and passed quite a few
miracles in keeping the U. S. arse
nal at Watertown, Mass., kicking out
fighting equipment during the World
war, with or without congressional
appropriations. As commandant ol
the Aberdeen proving grounds in
Maryland, he spent much time ex
plaining to congress why the arm;
found it difficult to patch up old
Springfield rifles, or get its shoes
half-soled. In some manner or othel
he gets along with congress.

Oil Burner Success
MANY of my correspondents are
planning to equip their house
heaters with oil burners, and ask my
opinion of the various makes that
are offered to them. As a matter of
fact, all oil burners can give good
service. The choice is. not among
the different makes, but among the
local oil burner installers. lDie best
oil burner made will not work well
if it is not properly installed, nor
will a burner continue to give sat
isfaction unless it is under the super
vision of a competent service man.
The first step in buying an- oil burn
er should be to inquire among oil
burning friends for their opinions of
the local installers, with the idea of
selecting an installer who is compe
tent, skillful, likely to stay in busi
ness, and will give quick and good
service in times of need. A man
of that type will have the agency for
a reliable burner and can be de
pended on to recommend the type
and size of burner best adapted to
the heating plant. I have often spo
ken of the false economy of buying
at cut prices, for it is likely to lead
to poor service and dissatisfaction.
This is especially true of oil burn
ers; for if one is offered at a suspi
ciously low price, there is reason to
believe that the manufacturer may
be going out of business, in which
case there will be no source for
spare parts. A good burner is worth
paying for.
Linoleum on Bough Floor
Linoleum that is laid on a rough,
worn and uneven floor will not last,
for the roughnesses will quickly
wear it through. When linoleum is
to be laid on a floor in that condi
tion the wood should be smoothed
by scraping, or better yet, by sand
ing with a heavy floor machine. An
other method is to cover the floor
with plywood. This can be one-half
inch thick, and for convenience in
laying, should be in pieces not more
than four feet square, with the edges
making tight joints. This forms a
smooth and excellent surface, and
Unoleiun cemented down over it
fhould last almost indefinitely. The
newly laid plywood will look so well
that the home owner may well won
der about covering it with linoleum.
He should do so, however, for if not
protected by a floor covering, the
surface will quickly chafe and splin
ter.
Squeaky Bedspring
Question: Several months ago the
coil spring of a bed was soaked
with rain coming through an open
window. Ever since, there has been
- a terrible squeak. Oiling does not
help. What can we do?
Answer: You probably did not get
the oil where it would do the most
good. Using an oil can, put a drop
of oil at every point where one piece
of metal touches another. Then
jounce the spring several times, so
that the oil will work into the joint.
Streaked Lampshade
Question: I washed a silk lamp
shade with soapy water and a
sponge but when it dried the result
was streaky. How can I dean it?
Answer: Fill your bathtub with
tepid water, with a few handfuls of
soap flakes dissolved in it. Draw the
lampshade through this slowly sev
eral times, and then rinse with clear
water. Pat with a bath towel and
hang up to dry. Braid and orna
ments that may come off can be
stuck back with glue.
Kitchen Wall Finish
Question: Walls of an old kitchen
are uneven, being partly plastered
and partly wallboard. Would plastic
paint hide the roughness?
Answer: Plastic paint made of
gypsum will adhere to both plaster
and wallboard, but you should give
it a smooth finish. You can Sien
enamel it, or use washable wall
paper or wallcloth.
Bnsted Tools
Question: What is the best way
to remove rust from household
tools? Could I use some kind of
acid?
Answer: Rub with emery cloth,
wet with kerosene. You can also
get rust-removing liquids at an
automobile supply store. I do not
recommend an acid.
Crarabling Mortar
Question: Brick mortar in house
walls has been crumbling and wash
ing away until part of the brickwork
is bare. Why? What is the remedy?
Answer: The mortar is porous,
possibly because too much blade
coloring was used in proportion to
the cement. Have it replaced by
a competent mason.
Finish for Stucco
Question: Cement stucco over
brick and stone must be repainted.
What paint should we use?
Answer: You can get a cement
paint intended for that work. Any
good paint store has it.
FIonr Worms
Question: -M ykilchencabinet has
a sifter type flour bin, which tilts
forward slightly to fill,.and is diffi
cult to reach into. I have several
times found white worms' in the flour.
How can I get rid of them?
Answer: Although the flour bin
I: is built in, there is undoubtedly
a method for releasing it and tak
ing it out for cleaning. Scourt well
with strong soap, and give it a good
sunning and airing. For surest re
sults, abandon the bin and' keep
your flour in a tight canister. This
is the real answer.

New Club U a WOW
A DD to the list of unusual Ameri-
can clubs a new one that’s def
initely a WOW! - It’s the Wheelers of the World club
and it’s made up of people named
Wheeler—that is, those Wheelers
who are “agin’ Burton K. and for
’Fighting Joe.’ ” Its purpose, say
its sponsors, is "to revive the spirit
of Fighting Joe and save the faces
pf all present-day Wheelers” (at
least, those who don’t approve of the
Montana senator’s isolationism),
and its aim is “to raise enough
money to buy a bomber for Britain
and name it the ‘Fighting Joe’
Wheeler.”
The man whom they thus prp-
#ose to honor was one of the most colorful characters in American mil
itary history.
Graduated from West Point in
|859, Wheeler was appointed a lieu
tenant in the United States army
but resigned his commission when
Georgia seceded from the Union.
When he entered the Confederate
army he was first made colonel of
an infantry regiment and command
ed a brigade at the Battle of Shiloh.
‘FIGHTING JOE’ WHEELER
But the next year he was trans
ferred to the cavalry and made a
brigadier general.
Promoted to major-general when
he was only 26 years old, Wheeler
was given command of the cavalry
attached to the Army of Tennessee
and in that position rendered invalu
able service to its inept and inde
cisive commander, Braxton Bragg.
One of Wheeler’s political opponents
later said of him that he “had never
won a battle.” More important is
the fact that he often saved the
Anny ot Tennessee from defeat.
For Wheeler proved that he under
stood the true function of the cav
alry, that of being the “eyes of the
army,” and his right to fame rests
upon the fact that, he was an “army
cavalryman,” not an “independent
cavalryman.” Other Southern lead
ers IUce Forrest, Stuart and Mor
gan might perform spectacular feats
as raiders, but all too often they
were away on some dashing foray
when they';were most needed as
the “eyes of the army” and it is
doubtful if: they were ever as valu
able to their commanding generals
as was “Fighting Joe.” .
, That, was .the affectionate nick
name his men gave him soon after
he was transferred to the. cavalry
and he proved, his right to it during
the remainder of the war. By the
time it was over, he had taken part
in 400 engagements,' been wounded
three times suid had, 16 horses shot
under him. “The gamest little banty
I ever knew” was the tribute one
of his friends paid him—he was only
Sve feet five inches in height and
weighed only 120 pounds.
After the war he quickly adjusted
himself to . peace-time pursuits,
studied law and was repeatedly
elected to congress.
At the. outbreak of the Spanish-
American war, although 62 years
old, he immediately applied for a
commission and was made a ma
jor-general ot volunteers. Thus he
became the only corps commander
to wear both the gray and the
blue. In Cuba the little “Georgia
Gamecock” defied his commanding
officer, General Shatter, who was as
huge as Wheeler was small, and led
1,000 men in a wholly unauthorized
but successful fight' at Guasimas,
the first battle of the Santiago' cam
paign. It was in the fury of this
engagement that “Fighting Joe” is
said to have forgotten that he wasn’t
wearing a gray unifbrtn and to have
shouted “Come on, boys,, give the
Yankees hell!” He died’in 1906 and
was buried in Arlington.
The prime mover ii the organiza
tion of the new dub.-to- “revive the
spirit of ‘Fighting Joe’ .Wheeler” is
Elmer' (“Sizzle”) Wheeler of Dal
las, Texas, a nationally known sales
consultant and author of the book
“Tested Sentences TOat Sell.” He. is
also president of the Tested Selling
Institute of New York, founded .12
years ago to test .words and phrases
for their relative value in making
people buy things. He tells sales
men “Don’t ask if—ask which.” It
was his famous slogan “Don’t fell
the steak—sell the sizzle” that gave
him his nickname. ~

The liquor traffic is a national
headache, and there is only one
real cure: abolition of liquor mak
ing, of liquor selling, and of liquor
drinking!
That W.C.T.U. diagnosis is backed by common citizen and studious
leader, by a del
uge of newspaper
stories telling of
liquor’s connec
tion with rotten
politics, with
vice, with adult
and juvenile
crime, with the
spread of disease,
with wrecked
homes, with in
sanity.
The “cup that
cheers” strangely enough leaves
only unhappiness in its ,wake.
Yes, the liquor traffic causes split
ting pains in the nation’s head.
The cure is backed by hundreds
.... nf years of mankind’s efforts to
rSttBjfce the liquor problem. It’s like
the womalFs-Uhristi&H-Tempvihuee'
Union says: “You can’t cure can-
cer with soft soap; you have to cut
4 1 }' it out!” Social workers, temperance
. groups, many of the biggest Protes
tant churches have recently re
affirmed their belief that temper
ance education plus prohibitory leg
islation are the only effective solu
tions.
The ideal solution, temperance
leaders say, would be for all people
to “swear off” drinking alcohol.
Temperance education and the
sound common sense of the majority
will eventually achieve abstinence
of the “thinking ,individual,” they
believe.
BUT, they declare, as long as the
multi-million-dollar liquor traffic is
in existence it
“makes addicts
out of the weak
and unthinking,
and particularly
out of inexperi
enced youth; it
will continue to
gain victims be
cause it is a nar
cotic and because
it is easily avail
able.”
That is why,
from the view
point of a common sense appraisal
of history, they say that complete
prohibition is the only eventual so
lution.
Every sign indicates, they con
tinue, that a rapidly growing num
ber of voters agree with them. Not
today, not tomorrow, but eventually
—they are confident—the padlock of
abolition will stop the headache!

SAN FRANCISCO.—A new mining
boom is on in the West. But the
old boom camps of the roaring'
forties have vanished into the shad
owy past along with the bearded
prospector and his burro.
Stimulated by the defense pro
gram, the mines of 'Califonua and
Oregon are producing as never be
fore even in the halcyon goldrush
days. But their operation has fallen
into a streamlined, modem design.
Demand for metals needed in the
manufacture of guns and arma
ments, shells and explosives has
more than doubled production of
manganese, mercury, tungsten,
chromite and antimony diming the
past two years, Charles White Mer
rill, chief engineer of the United
States bureau of mines in San Fran
cisco revealed.
Contrast With Fast.
But in place of the wide open
camps of the famous forties which
!grew up around the mines here 60
!years ago, the plants are now
manned by sober farm boys, clerks
|and mechanics from nearby coun
try and small towns, who drive to
[work in the family “jallopy.”
At the booming new “Bonanza”
mercury mine near Roseburg, Ore.,
ia survey shows that Ihe men drive
jfrom 10 to 70 miles a day to their
!jobs. At several big plants in Cali
fornia and Nevada there isn’t even
a store or a bunk house.
The Bonanza mine now ranks
with the New Idria and the New
Almaden mines of central California
as the three largest mercury mines
in America.
Production of the fluid quicksilver
has doubled here in the past two
years. West coast mines now yield
3,000 flasks a month. Incidentally
the price has jumped from $75 a
flask in 1938 to $192 a flask today,
department records show.
Source of M etals.
Manganese chromite and anti
mony in North America, are found
almost exclusively in the coast and
Sierra Nevada foothills of the west
ern slope.
Increased production of these
metals has been stimulated recent
ly, Merrill pointed out, by construc
tion of two large smelters in Ta
coma, Wash., and Portland, Ove., to
reduce the ore to ferro-alloys.
Due to the high shipping cost of
the raw ore to eastern steel mills
and importation of cheap Oriental
minerals, the western source of sup
ply has remained practically
untapped, until the present emer
gency.
Operation of the new furnaces
make reduction of the bulky ore to
concentrates possible with corre
sponding economy of shipment to
the East coast. Government reports
show a 50 per cent boost in produc
tion here already with Merrill pre
dicting even greater expansion dur
ing 1942.

Librarian (or Lapse
NAPANOCH, N. Y.—The librarian
at the State Institution for Male De
fective Delinqiients made the mis
take of reissuing the same book
to an inmate, after 20 years.
The inmate indignantly wrote a
long letter reprimanding the librari
an for his lapse of memory. He con
cluded:
“And once I have perused a book
I do not want to read it again. What
do you think I am, feebleminded,
that I cannot remember a book I

Lyons wasn’t a passenger in the

the scene of the crackup. But he
was listed as a casualty. Lyons
was shaving when he heard the
plane droning overhead. Then sud
denly the plane swooped with a roar
over the Lyons residence and Lyons
instinctively ducked, cutting him
self. The pilot wasn’t hurt. But
he and Lyons had a close shave.

Children Safely Caught

Hearing cries near by, Rady rushed

First war paster of the new World War, painted by the distinguished artist James Montgomery Flagg, carries an appeal for a $50,000,000 war IUnd to aid the victims of aggression upon the United States and Its Island a“
To aid the victims of warfare being

/ No Regret In Love
Rev. Welter E. benhour. Hiddenite, N. C.
We never regret loving God and
mankind. However, there is a re
gret, sooner or later, to every heart
and soul that does not love God
and his fellowmeo. It is as sure to'
come as night follows day, and as
day follows night. A -d regret Is
something that is unpleasant. Some
times it burns and stings the very
heart, conscience and soul until one
cannot rest day and night.
God’s way is the way of love.
Thedevil’s way is the way of bate.
God^s way always works right and
brings the best results. The devil’s
way always works wrong, and
brings the wrong results. It is a
thousand times better to love a man
than to bate him.
“ Well,” yod say, ‘‘some people
are so mean I can’t love them.”
That is true from the standpoint of
the human, but it isn't true from
the standpoint of the Divine. God
can give us such love for Himself-
until we can love wicked men. Ies-
us loves them. He died for them.
He even tells us to love' our ene
mies, pray for them and do; good
for evil. This is His way, bat the
devil’s wav is to bate onr enemies
and do evil for evil. Tbe reason
why the world is in snch a dread
ful condition tod y, ient and torn
with war, is. because men bate men
and return evil for evil.
We admitthatittakes the love
of God shed abroad, in tbe heart to
enable us to love one another.
Nothing short of tbis will do. Es
pecially is tbis true when it comes
to loving our enemies, praying for
them.and returning good for evil
However, this is God’s plan and
way for us to live by It is a glo
rious plan and way. It brings a.
bout wonderful results. We fee
so much better when we love men
than when we hate them. Life to
us is far sweeter and happier. It
is far sweeter and happier to otb
ers alsb. Praise the Lord.
It is true we may have enemies
regardless of how much we love
God and man, but we. don’t have
to be an enemv to anyone. There
is such blessedness in loving God
and-.bumanity until we can say in
tbe language.of the Psalmist: “My
cup runneth over. Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life: and I will dwell in
the house of tbe Lord forever.”
Tbis makes life happv, and the
outlook on the future bright, beau
tiful and wonderful.

Motorist Curbing Speed
To Save Tires.
Government ban on sale of tires
and new automobiles' to the "aver
age motorist” has done what law en-
fo-cement has done what law en
forcement agencies and the" courts
have not been able to do—practical
ly eliminated speed on the highways.
That was the opinion voted by
many who. observed week-end: traffic
on highways over this-section of the
state. Motoristsweretakingiteasy
—putting^ less strain and wear on
their automobiles and particularly on
tires.
And the opinion was also freelv'
expressed here by officers and others
that the reduced speed would save a
majority of lives which would other'
wise have been lost on the highways
in accidents.
Numerous people who had been ac
customed to ' Step on it” at spee
of sixty to' eighty miles per hour are
now determined to keep under 60
while an equally large number place
40 as their maximum unless in case
of emergency. They know that lower
speed will mean longer life for the
precious, tires. in addition to less
general wear on automobiles and far
greater gasoline mileage than at high
speed. - V: ,
Automobile dealers here have
very small stock of new cars frozen
by government order but are well
supplied with used cars ranging from
old to almost new.-
Dealers are featuring the import
ance of their service and garage de
partments to keep' he present care in
first class condition to prolong their
life and serviceability through- the

dealing witb automobile service have

course this a New Deal.
New Deal “statesmen” can't nn
derstand that when tax capital out
of existence they bring national
progress to a standstill. Industry
needs nourishment, not New Deal
nostrums.
Quite a discussion was recently
held as to whether angels are men

More Deception.
Shortly after signing the second
Lend-Leaseappropriation bill, Pre
sident Roosevelt announced that at
least a billion dollars of air was to be
extended to Soviet Russia from Lend-
Lease funds. Thereon bangs a. tale
of further Administration deception.
Ig bearinge on tbe bHI before the
House and Senate ' Appropriations
Committees various Administration
spokesmen assured tbe Congresmen
that it was not- the intention of the
Administration to extend aid to Rus
sia under the Lend Lease Act.
Mr. Stettlnius. the Administrator
of the Lend-Lease program told both
Representative Lambertson and Re
presentative Ditterthat there was no
intention to use Lend-Lesse funds
for aid to Russia—that it was no' in
cluded in the appropriation Like
wise, Mr Oscar Cox general counsel
of the Lend-Lease Administration,
and Secretary of War Stimson both
assured th e Senate Appropriated
under tbe Lend Lease Act would not
be used for Russia and that Russia
had not been included in computing
the amount of money that was need'
ed under the Lend-Lease Act
Regardless of the necessity of ex
tending tbis aid to the Communist,
there can be no possible accuse for
the apparently deliberate deception
employed by the Administration in
getting tbe second appropriation
passed. Public confidence in the Ad
ministration, never at a high pitch,
can only be lowered by this latest
trickery.
; Falsehoods may come easier to the
Administration than the hard truth,
but the steady use of falsehoods
bardly rendering a service to demo

Mirade May Save
“Kin*’
Practical people have known for a
long time that only a miracle could
save King Cotton, former sovereign
of the Sooth, -
Now, it looks like a miracle is ac
tually posiible according to Dr.
Frank Kenneth Cameron, professor
of Chemistry at the University of
North Carolina, who believes be has
brought to successful termination
eleven yeare of research work con
cerning the processing of “whole
cotton” fo r cellulose from which
hundreds of different products can
be manufactured.
Among the many possible products;'
are listed such important items as.
tenite, photographic acetate films,
cellepbane, celluloid, explosives, pa.
per. rayons and staples.
J A host of IeBS important products
^include drapery, fabrics, viscose
sponges, ornamentel braid for ladies’
hats and shoes, washable accessories,
soda straws, costume jewelry, gowns
of rich coltstar velvet, pnd a large
number of commodities from cellu
lose acetates, nitratdj^etc.
Under Dr. GSjMerori’s plan,
cotton is sowedviike wheat, grown
close-packed, and-harvested like hay
with a machine that takes up the
whole plant—boll, stalk, everything
oicept the roots, bales it and. con
veys it to a traijer without it having
touched the ground.
The “whole cotton” then passes
through a grinding process, the col.
oring matter is removed,and the oil
recovered. Thedrier^Bfbund “whole
cotton” is pulped and aipba-cellulose
obtained.
Thus, if Dr. Cameron is correct in
bis contention that cellulose can be
extracted from cotton as cheaply as
from wood, and an adequate market
thereby erected to absorb the crop,
present ills would largely disappear.
Under conditions how existing the
future outlook is exceedingly dark
for tbe old “King” who has beat
given a temporary “shot in tbe arm”
by artifical stimulants calculated to
carry him through the war penod.It will be Sumiracle of tbe fint or
der, if and wheo eomething inter-:
venes to restorecbtton to anything Uke the pristine position of a once
proud and mighty monarch,—Hickory Record}

■'.Care to see your son?” Ma prof
fered .a swaddled armful to the
stranger.
The girl was sleeping quietly the
exhausted sleep of a warrior who
has fought a long and victorious battle.
“Little—and red, isn’t he?” The
lather was awkward of hand and
(word before his child.
I “He’s a beautiful baby,” Ma de
fended angrily. “Look at those lit
tle hands. Why, they’re beautiful. The idea, little and red!”
“I don’t know much about ba
bies,” he confessed. “I never met
any so close before.”
Ma’s anger changed to amuse
ment. “You’ll learn.” She grinned.
“Now suppose we put this young
man down and let him get some
sleep. He’s had a ipard night, too.”
She eased the baby gently into an
old wicker wash basket swathed in
worn blankets, turned down the light
and led the way to ,the Big Doc’s
old study.
, Across a heartening cup of tea,
Ma demanded, “That story you were
' tt-ling me down in the stable. We’ve
got time for it now.”
“It’s an old story,” he admitted.
“Nothing new about it. Me and
Mary—my wife—we always wanted
\ farm of our own. A IitSe place,
not too big, where you could wake
up and see something green in the
morning. Me and Mary both were
city kids—Chicago—but my dad was
a farm boy and he talked about the
land a lot. Me and Mary were
never satisfied in Chicago. Then
her grandmother died. Left us a
IitQe money. Not much, but a little.
And she said to me, ‘Joe, let’s get
sway from the city. Let’s go some
place where there’s -trees.’ She
hated the city.”
Ma nodded in understanding. Who
could know better than she how a
heart can wither and die in. the dark
gray walls of a city?
“We bought a farm through a
friend of Mary’s Dad.” The man
went on. “Maybe we were stung. It
was in California, and we took it
sight unseen. We had hard luck. It
rained when it shouldn't, and some
of oiu crop was beaten down. Then
it didn’t rain when it should’ve, and
a lot of our stufi burned up.”
“No water on your land?”
“Had been. But some big shot on
the other side of the hill tied it up
In court. Smoked us out. Wanted
our little hunk of land to add to
his. We were little people—and he
wasn’t. We didn’t have money to
fight him, and when he dammed up
the headwaters of our creek we
were through.”
Ma growled sympathetically.
“We finally had to sell for almost
nothing. Me and Mary went to Se
attle and I got a job there. Just
when we knew the Little Fella was
coming, there was a strike. We lived
on what we had and I worked when
I could, but you know how things
are. Easier, to spend money than
make it. When the time got close
me and Mary decided we’d better
get back to Chicago to her people. I
hate charity, but it’s better than
starving. - Mary thinks so, ariy-
tvay.”
Ma bit her lip.
“So we started out in our car. It
was a good car—once. It broke
down outside that last village.”
“Mountain Creek!”
“We ought’ve had gone back then,
I guess, but we thought we saw a
light and we kept on. After a while,
Mary couldn’t make it and I left her
in the stable and started for help.
I saw your candles. My mother was
Irish. We always had lights in our
windows on Christmas Eve, too,
in case—in case people had no place
to go.”
Ma smiled. “My husband—that’s
his picture over there—he used to
say, 1Ma sends out engraved invi
tations to every tramp in the coun
ty on Christmas Eve.’ But I noticed
he was always ready to give them
old clothes and a dollar now afnd
then, even when he couldn’t spare
the dollar. He was—” Ma’s voice
was reverent—“a wonderful man
and the finest doctor in-the world.”
She went on definitely, “I have
four children. My oldest boy’s a
big-shot doctor in Chicago,” the
slang rolled from her lips expertly.
He’s a good doctor, I guess, but not
like his father. Kit was a doctor
/because he couldn’t help it, because
tele loved it more than anything else
in the world, people have to do
what they want in the world—like
you living on a farm—or they’re not
happy, not a bit.”
The stranger’s face was sober. “I
know. Something inside you just
won’t let you have any peace.”
“My oldest daughter’s a nurse and
companion. That’s what she want
ed to be. And my youngest son’s a

* • ' •
Christmas morning burst white
and beautiful across the hills. Ma
stood at the window and marveled
at the gentle froth of snow clinging
to the pine trees, the soft feathery
snowbanks leaning gracefully
against the porch.
Breakfast in the parlor was a mer
ry meal, broken only by the occa
sional whimpering of the new baby.
As the last crumb disappeared, the
girl said diffidently, “Joe and I’ve
been talking and we—”
Her husband came to her assist
ance. “We haven’t a dime, Mary
and me. And we’re under a terrible
obligation to you.”
Mary’s smile was wistful. “If
you’ll be so kind as to put us up
till we can move along—”
“Move along where?” Ma de
manded.
“To Chicago. I can get a factory
job in Chicago.” Joe’s smile was
bleak.
“You’ll stay where you are.” Ma
chipped off the words without cere
mony, “a ci work for your board
and keep till Spring. How can you
move a baby in Winter, in a ram
shackle car and with no money?
I’m a lonely old woman and you
can stay until Spring or—” Or until
when, her invalid heart mocked.
Mary’s eyes filled with tears.
“You’re kind,” she murmured. At
a loss for words, Ma merely snorted
vehemently.
The girl went on, “We can’t ever
repay you.”
“Nobody expects any pay for do
ing what they ought to do,” Ma re
torted.
“But we’d like to,” Mary persist
ed. “So if you'wouldn’t mind too
much. I mean, Joe and I—we
thought—maybe you’d let us name
the baby after your husband. He
must have been a pretty wonderful
person, or you’d never have mar
ried him.”
“He was—a wonderful person,”
Ma said simply.
“So, if you don’t mind, we think
it’d be nice. We’d be proud if
you’d let us. Wbat did you say his
name was?”
- “Christopher.” Ma was deeply
touched. Christopher Shannon.”
“Christopher would be a beautiful
name,” Mary said gently, “for a
baby born on Christmas.”
Ma bent suddenly and kissed the
girl’s pinched white face. “Bless
your heart,” she choked on the
words, “he’d be so pleased he’d—”
The baby wailed.
“Stop -your nonsense, Christo
pher,” Ma commanded, “you’re a
big boy now.*’
Mary laughed, young, happy
laughter.
Ma looked at her wonderingly.
“It’s been a long time since a girl
laughed like that in this house.”
“It’s an awful easy house to laugh,
in,” Mary replied.
So there was company for Christ
mas after all. The turkey .would
not be wasted. The Christmas cook
ies 'were not to blush unseen. And
all the fulfillments of the Nativity
were present for Ma, even though
she shared them with strangers and
not her own flesh.
She left Joe and Mary to them
selves, and wandered into the Big
Doc’s study.
Ma leaned back against the closed
door and her lame old heart sang
bravely, as she addressed her hus
band’s portrait. “Well, Kit,” she
said, “you’ve gone and got yourself
a namesake, even if I did have to
practically fish it out of a snow
drift.”
She sat down at the scratched
desk. “They’re nice kids,” she con
fided, “and they’ve had a rough
deal. Funny, isn’t it? Here’s a house
and farm and none of our own want
it, and yet it would be a blessing to
those poor waifs out there. Doesn’t
seem right, does it?” The picture
eyed her calmly.
“It doesn’t, does it?” Ma was
startled at her own passionate in
tensity. “Would it matter much to
you, Kit, to have strangers living
here? I mean, if they were nice
strangers? And if they had a little
boy named after you?
“Kenneth doesn’t need the old
place, Kit,”'she pleaded. “He|d only
sell it. You’d hate that. So would I.
And Lydia wouldn’t live here on a
bet. She loathes Mountain Creek.
And Robert, he’d let it go to ruin.
And Sally—Sally’ll make a success
in Hollywood and she’ll be ashamed
of the place where she was bom.
I couldn’t bear to have any of them
ashamed of the house we were so
happy in. We were happy here,
weren’t we, Kit?” She looked loving
ly about the shabby room.
“These youngsters haven’t got
anything, Kit, except a baby and a
lot of gumption. What do you
think?” „
Outside the door she heard a mur
mur of voices.
“Look, Kit,” she said hastily,-“I’ve
got some money in the bank. Our
kids can have that. But the house
—and the land—”
She picked up the pen on the desk,
dipped it into the old inkwell, began
to write. “Don’t be mad at me
when you see me, Kit,” she pleaded.
“I’m only trying to do what’s right.”
What was it she heard about last
wills and testaments? They must be
witnessed by disinterested parties?
Well, wasn’t Danny coming up that
afternoon, to pay a call on Sally—
Sally who wasn’t coming home for,
Christmas? Danny, would satisfy the
most captious court of law.
The pen marched across the page,
trailed by Ma’s customary little inky
splashes. “I, Margaret Heath Shan
non, being of sound mind, do hereby
bequeath to—”
Ma snickered. “Who to?” She Ieh
the desk and plodded to the door.
Joe was saying earnestly, “I know
it’s hard to live on charity, Mary
but it won’t last forever. Maybe next
Christmas—”
Ma interrupted rudely. “You’ve
spent th'e night here, had a baby,
eaten breakfast, and swapped life
histories with me, but I still don’t
know your name. What is it?”
Joe looked up, startled. “Carpen
ter,” he said. “Joseph Carpenter.”
. “Thanks,” Ma closed the door on
his surprise.' “Carpenter. She picked
up the pen again. “To Joseph and Mary Carpenter the farm and prop
erty—” ' '''
The nagging pain was back, but
Ma smiled. “It won’t be long now,
Kit,” she said happily. “Maybe next
Christmas—”____

J. I. Case introduced "groundhog” threshers in

Today there are Case tractors and machines for
every job from the start of tillage to the close

And the government has assured us that it will

THIS

By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNV Service.)
EW YORK.—People who' send
^ questions to radio quiz pro
grams have been missing a chance
to collect on “Who is the president
China’s President °fhf ^
Revered as Fount answ er, as
OfAncient Wisdom we try out
the question,
is Chiang Kai-shek—the generalissi
mo and not the president.
Lin Sen, serene and venerated pa
triarch, has been president of China
for 10 years. He could be called
doctor, and he has many honorary
titles, but he likes to be called Mr.
Lin Sen. Just now, he is casually
and obscurely in the news, with
word of powerful generals making
pilgrimages to his peaceful retreat,
not to talk war, but to visit him as
they might a priest or physician.
He is a benign old gentleman,
bespectacled, with a snow-white
goatee, a scholar and an artist,
wise and humorous and, above
all, serene. He is one of the
most famous chirographers of
China and, so that he may quiet
ly practice his art, he made a
studio in a ruined garrison, with
walls 10 feet thick. There, on
bamboo paper, faced with silk,
he copies tbe classics in swift,
beautiful brush strokes, school
ing himself in their wisdom. Son
Fo, president of the executive
yuan, takes care of the merely
temporal and practical details
of the presidency. Mr. Lin Sen
Is free to practice wisdom and
virtue and impart it to his people
in beautiful characters.
Mr. Lin Sen was a missionary stu
dent in San Francisco’s Chinatown,
studied western civilization diligent
ly and, returning to China, preached
a careful distinction between a civi
lization and a culture. He said Chi
na must be modernized, and joined
Dr. Sun Yat Sen, to that end, but
insisted that China would lose its
soul if it took only guns and ma
chines from the west—that force
alone always failed, even when it'
seemed to be triumphant. He main
tained that true morality would in
the end prevail even over bombs
and bullets. But the latter, he be
lieved, were all right in their place
and in 1931 he became president, as
the advocate of vigorous resistance
against the Japanese aggression.
His gods have generously answered
for him an ancient Chinese prayer:
“May your writing wrist be as lim
ber as a willow-wythe.” •---
JOSEPH B. EASTMAN used to be
“ a social settlement worker in his
young days. It has been apparent
that in this he experienced a cer-

Transport B os.
years he has been a pragmatic lib
eral and it is as such that he tackles
one of the most important jobs of
the war, as chairman of the new
office of defense transportation. AU
he will have to do will be to gear
all transport into a working unit,
to keep things moving on railroads,
air lines, truck lines, inland water
ways, coastwise and inter-coastwise
shipping lines and pipelines.
It was a much simpler job when
William G. McAdoo took it over in
the first'World war, with plane and
motor transport negligible. . Mr.
Eastman, through his long service
as chairman of the Interstate Com
merce commission and as former
co-ordinator of the railroads, has
grown into it.
Socially minded from his Am-
herst and Phi Beta Kappa days,
he became a hard - working
“good neighbor” at the South
End bouse of Boston, then coun
sel for the Boston Street Rail
way employees and later a
member of the Massachusetts
Public Service commission.
When Woodrow Wilson named
him to the ICC, he wrote a re
gretful letter saying he would
like to serve, but there was a
bar sinister in his career—he
was a Republican. Mr. Wilson
laughed that off and Mt East
man has served under five Pres
idents. Supreme Court Justice
Brandeis had recommended his
original appointment. Railroad
moguls like him personally and
denounce his ideas.
He threw a switch on the first Van
Sweringen merger proposal in 1927,
later on on L. F. Loree’s proposed
merger of the Katy and the Cotton
Belt with his own Kansas City
Southern, and in valuation, rate rise
cases, receiverships, recaptures,
mergers and the like he has been
sharply at odds with the rail barons
and definitely aligned with the drive
toward firmer governmental control.
Senate Progressives got themselves
into a great lather in 1929, prepar
ing to fight aind die for their demand
that he be reappointed. But Presi
dent Hoover fooled them by doing
just that.
A Couple of Qood Cracks at Herr Hitler
From Germany comes a photograph (left) passed by the propaganda bureau containing the following ad
mission: “A German motorized unit stalled by snow on the Eastern front." Thus did Old King Winter take
a crack at Adolf. And here is Jacques Soustelle (right), representative of the Free French, taking a crack at
Hitler in Mexico City, at ceremony known as the breaking of the “pinata.” As the pinata in this case was
an effigy of Hitler, Jacques found new strength in his arm.

Martial law was declared in (he Singapore area shortly after the first attack by Japanese invaders.
Putting Extra Stretch in Rubber
We will all have to do without new automobile tires for the present.
Next best thing is a retreading job on your old ones, if they are too
smooth for safety. At left you see a re-treading operation in progress.
A “camel back,” or new rubber top, is vulcanized to the old casing to
give a new gripping tread. ' At the right is shown how a worn-out tire
compares with one that has just been given a face lift, or a new tread.
The recapped tire is at left; the old “smoothy’ beside it.

THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS/
IDSSON TEXT-Mattllew 4:1-11. GOLDEN, TEXT—For we have an high
UrieEt . . . (who) was In all points tempted
Uke as we are, yet without sin.—Hebrews
4:15.
“We have not a high priest that
cannot be touched with the feeling
of our infirmities; but one that hath
been in all points tempted like as
we are; yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15,
R.T.). We recognize that Jesus was
tempted'as the Messiah (see Matt.
4:3, 6) and as One who Imd no sin,
and yet He was tempted in all points
as we are; and we may learn from
His temptation how to meet tempta
tion and be victorious over it.
I. Temptation.
It is the common lot of all man
kind to be tempted (I Cor. 10:13).
The strongest and most noble of
men are subject to it; angels were
tempted — yes, even Jesus was
tempted. We need to know about
temptation, so we note
1. What It Is (v. I). Temptation
is of the devil. It is, as Principal
Fairbairn expressed it, “seduction
to evil, solicitation' to wrong. It
stands distinguished from trial thus:
trial tests, seeks to discover the
man’s moral qualities or character;
but temptation persuades to evil, de
ludes that it may ruin.' God tries.
Satan tempts.”
Note that temptation is not sin,
but yielding to the temptation is sin.
We are told by James (Jas. 1:13-
15) that man is tempted by his own
lusts. He also tells us that God may
permit temptations or trials to test
our faith (Jas. 1:2, 3), but His pur
pose is only to prove us able to
stand. God does not suffer us to be
tempted beyond endurance, but pro
vides a way of escape (I-Cor. 10:13).
2. How It Works (w . 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 ,
9). Satan has only three tempta
tions, although he is a master at
giving 'them different .appearances.
The temptation of Jesus followed
the same threefold line as that of
Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:6), whichis
described in I John 2:16 as the gen
eral temptation of all men, namely,
“the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life.” Observe
how Satan worked on Jesus: (a) By
appealing to the flesh (w.. 2, 3).
Jesus had fasted 40 days, and Satan
took advantage of that fast to sug
gest that He use His divine power
of creation to satisfy His hunger.
To do so would have been to deny
His very mission on earth.
Satan observes in man the normal
appetites of his body, excites them
to a high degree, and then tempts
him to satisfy them in an improper
way. (b) By appealing to pride (w .
5, 6). God had promised to keep
Jesus “in all his ways” (Ps. 91:
11), but casting Himself from the
temple was not one of God’s “ways”
for H im .'
The devil wants us to be presump
tuous and call it faith, and this is
his pitfall for one who really wants
to believe—cause him to become a
fanatic and substitute foolish pre
sumption for frith, (c) By appeal
ing to the eyes (vv. 8 , 9). By show
ing Christ the kingdoms of the earth
in some kind of striking panorama,
or moving picture, he offered a short
cut to their rule by a brief act of
worship of him, rather than by way
of the cross. The devil showed his
real purpose here. He wants wor
ship—he wants us to bow to him in
stead of to. God.
H. Our Lord Was Victorious Ovei
Satan.
We, too, can triumph in His bless
ed name. Todosow eneedtostudy
the way of victory.
I. How to Gain It (w . 4, 7, 10).
Three steps appear: (a) By the
right use of Scripture. If our Lord
needed and used that weapon, how
can we possibly do without it? How
can we use it if we do not study it,
and hide it in our hearts (Ps. 119:
11)? (b) By complete dependence
upon God. Every Scripture used
by Jesus against Satan honored God
the Father. We cannot fight-Satan in
our own strength. Luther was right—
“Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving- would be losing.”
The real victory for- the Christian
is to bring Satan to the foot of the
cross. Christ defeated him complete
ly there, and we may plead that
victory. (c) By denouncing'Satan.
Jesus sent him on his way. We
may do the same, in Jesus’ name.
It is always a serious error to argue
with Satan, or even to ffiscuss mat
ters with him. He is not divine,
but he is a supernatural being with
knowledge and cunning which are
too much for us. Meet him with-
Scripture, honor God by your faith
hi. Christ, then “resist the devil. and
he will flee from you” (Jas. 4:7).
2, What It Brings (v. 11). When
the defeated devil left Christ; an
gels came and ministered to Him.
The overcoming of temptation brings
victory, peace, and blessed rest.
Tliis is ever true in the life of the
believer. Temptations victoriously
met make one stronger in meeting
the next temptation. There is. al
ways a next one, for we read (Luke
4:13) that the devil left Christ only
“for a season.”

THE DAVlE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. W.C.. JANUARY21. 1942.
Has Narrow Escape
Prof. B. M. Madison, principal
of the Cool Spring school, bad a
narrow escape from serious injury
by explosion of a stove early Sun
day morning at his. home. He had
made a fire in the stove, and the
explosion took place when the stove
became hot. It appeared that wa
ter froze in the pipes during the
sub zero weather* and the explosion
resulted from lack of circulation.
The stove was completely wrecked,
and Mr. Madison received a slight
injurv to his knee —St tesville Da
ily, Jan 12th.
Tire Thievery.
The Record commends a Rich
mnnd police court judsre who sent
enced a man found euilty of Steal
ing a tire, to twelve months and one
hundred dollare fine.
Courts sh"uld immediately take
cognizance of the fact that stealing
an automobile tire has now become
a much greater crime than the same
offense would have been considered
before rationing was ordered.
There is much to Tecommend the
request of the American Automobile
Association that the theft of automo
bile tires, parts, and accessories now
be made 8 Federal offense
Widespread thievery of such pro
perty will result in a bootleg ring
being created — unless by drastic
court action the ringleaders are
frightened off at the very start. '
It is logically argued that the Fed
eral government has a right under
the circumstances to assume juris
diction, and if such action were
taken potential criminals of the tire
and automobile stealing type could
be more readily curbed. Otherwise,
many judges will be inclined to take
a mealymounted attitude until the
wave, o’ thievery already reported
f underway builds up into a major
racket,—Hickory Record,

DIET OF LEGUME
IS VITAL FACTOR
Can Detect Distress Signs
When Food Is Lacking.
By E. E. DE TllBK(Professor of Soil ForiilHy, College oi Agriculture, University of Illinois.)
Legumes, like other crops, fly
unmistakable distress signals when
their diet lacks important plant food
elements, observations made in the
past cropping season indicate. Yet
they frequently show these nutri
tional deficiencies by slow growth,
rather than by any specific abnor
malities of form or color. They are
likeljr to produce undersized plants
which are normal in appearance
otherwise.
Ordinarily the early symptoms of
plant food hunger take the form of
changes in color. The most com
mon color symptom results from
chlorosis—o* loss of the green color.
This may be followed by the death
of the affected area. The chlorosis
may consist of paling of the ordi
nary green color, or the appearance
of various shades of yellow or even
white dots and patches.
In general the lack of one' or
more of the three major plant food
dements—nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash—will result in ill health for
the crop.
Nitrogen deficiency results in slow
growth of the legumes, a decrease
In fiie branching of the plants and
smaller plants at maturity. These
may occur without the appearance
at specific symptoms and have lit
tle value to the farmer or agrono
m ist attempting a diagnosis. Se
vere nitrogen deficiency often causes
mild chlorosis in which the leaves
gradually become pale green with a
yellowish tinge rattier than distinct
ly yellow. The chlorosis usually
spreads evenly over the entire Iedf
surface.
A lack of phosphorus manifests it
self in slow growth. The legume
jilants remain small and undeveloped. Flowering and seed produc
tion tend to be delayed and a bluish-
green tinge may develop in the
leaves. But there are no specific
symptoms that can be used with as
surance for purposes of detecting Idiosiihonis deficiency.
Of all the symptoms observable in
legumes, those of potash hunger are
probably the most outstanding and
easily recognized.
Broad-leaved legumes such as the
soybean show evidence of insuffi
cient potash by irregular yellow
mottling around the edges of the
leaflets. The discolored areas soon
merge, forming a continuous yellow
border around the tip and along the
■ides, but rarely around the base.. Death of the chlorotic area that first
became mottled follows promptly
■long wifii a downward cupping of
tbe leaf edges. Then the dead tis
sue falls out, giving the leaflet a
ragged appearance.
Dairy Production
The “all-out” dairy production
program for defense needs and
higher returns to .the dairymen
should be tempered with careful
feeding and management practices,
believes C. S. Rhode, extension
dairy -specialist of the University
of IUinois college, of agriculture.
Overfeeding on high protein'' ra
tions, short dry periods and failure
to supply adequate amounts of min
erals are some of the-things to be
avoided. Balancing the grain mix
ture to fit the kind and quality of
available roughage, the use of bone
meal In the ration when needed and a dry period of a month to six
weeks are some of the points that
should receive attention.
Sea Takes Glasses,
Returns Them Later
NORFOLK, VA.—A newspaper
reporter absentmindedly kept his
glasses on when he went swim
ming in the surf and a wave
knocked them off. The tide was
running and he gave the spec
tacles up for lost. Three hours
later, as he and friends searched
the beach, a wave deposited the
glasses at his wife’s feet.

Fifth Column Back
In 1851 Hinted At
Suggested in Letter Penned
By Louis Kossuth.
PITTSBURGH--The presence of
fifth columnists 90 years ago is hint
ed in a' letter written by Louis Kos
suth, Hungarian patriot of the last
century. The letter has been willed
to the University of Pittsburgh.
It was written on September 27,
1851, aboard the United States bat
tleship Mississippi at Marseille,
France. In it Kossuth described a
trip to England and America to win
sympathy for his.unsuccessful fight
for Hungary’s liberation, and ex
pressed confidence the traitors from
within would be overcome.
“When the day arrives on which
we shall break the yoke of tyrants
forever the nation shall not be afraid
that ambitious traitors will be able
to frustrate our historic struggles,”
the Hungarian pa triot wrote.
He wrote the letter just after he
had been rescued from a Turkish
prison by a United States gunboat
that steamed through the Darda
nelles and demaixicd his release.
“I was prevented temporarily by
force from the execution of my gu
bernatorial powers, but the legality
of the source from which this office
has its origin cannot be weakened,"
Kossuth wrote in support of his the
ory of “government in exile,” prev
alent today among nations that have
been conquered by Germany.
“I will continue to exercise the
rights of my office until I am defi
nitely convinced that die nation is
in a position to determine her fu
ture herself.”
The letter will be presented offi
cially to the university early next
year during a nation-wide celebra
tion of the ninetieth anniversary of
Kossuth’s visit to America.
Hints of Weapons That
Will ‘Surprise’ Hitler
PHILADELPHIA—American sci
entists have developed new “un
pleasant surprises” for Hitler, if
this country should become involved
in war with tile Axis, Dr. Thomas
S. Gates, president of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania and district co
ordinator of the United States divi
sion of contract distribution, said.
New measures of protecting our
cities from bombing and for safe
guarding shipping were promised by
Dr. Gates in an address before the
Philadelphia section of the Amer
ican Institute of Electrical Engi
neers.
“I am not hinting at some fantas
tic ‘super-weapon’ that will an
nihilate armies and the population of
cities,” he said, “but I am speaking
of new and improved'devices that
will protect us from raiding bomb
ers, that will place additional safe
guards about our shipping and that
will add to our power of offensive
warfare.
“You can depend upon it that
American science and ingenuity
have some surprises to spring upon
surprises,” Dr. Gates said.
He said that, because of the secret
nature of the new weapons, he was
unable to give any details.
Medical Students Help.
Girl Return to College
’ WALTHAM, MASS.—Miss Louisa
Kun Sil Chung of Honolulu, T. H.,
Middlesex university’s favorite girl
student, will return to college be
cause the sophomore class of medi
cal students dug into their pockets
to bring her back.
The boys had elected Miss Chung,
an honor student, as class secre
tary, but she failed to register this
fall, so they investigated and found
that illness in her family made it
impossible for her to get the nec
essary funds.
So they voted to raise her tuition
by assessing each sophomore med
ical student. The university joined
the campaign by. offering her an
NYA position and a $100 scholar
ship.
Miss. Chung, a graduate of the
University of Hawaii who received
a master of science degree from the
University of Pittsburgh, wired her
thanks and said she was en route.

PROPER FEEDING
NETS MORE EGGS;
Methods and Food Quality
Are Important Items.
B j V. E, SCOTT
(UahrtrtityoiMwradmXxttmdmSuriet,)
Successful farmer-poultrymen pay
inearly as much attention to the way;
!they feed their pullets and layine
!hens as they do to the kinds ofj
feeds they provida. 1
■ For one thing, abrupt changes In
the diet may cause the birds to go "off feed” and result in lower egg.
Iiroduction and. slower growth, as
will the use of stale feed.If a change in diet must be made,
H is suggested that it be giedual
and extended over a period of at
least a week or ten days.
Important too, is sufficient hopper
space, lest the more timid birds in
the flock go hungry. At least 10
linear feet of hopper, with hens eat
ing from both sides, should be pro
vided per 100 laying hens, and a suf
ficient length of watering trough or
number of containers to prevent
crowding.
When there are enough separate
pens a good idea is to separate the
timid hens from their more aggres
sive companions, making a small
pen of tiiis group. They will soon
forget their timidity.
Oie practice followed by many
poultrymen is to provide only a lit
tle more feed each day than the
lords clean up.
The left-overs, if dean and dry,
can be mixed thoroughly with the
fresh feed in the hoppers, and in
this way, there will be no accumu
lation of stale feed- at the bottom
of tbe hoppers, reducing likelihood
of mold.
Feed mixtures containing fish oil,
as sources of vitamin A or D, should
be bought or mixed in small quanti
ties so that they can be used within
10 days or two weeks.
High Egg Production
Hs Government Goal
Three billion seven hundred dozen
eggs are expected from American
Iiiyng in 1942 to provide an adequate,
supply t o home needs and for the
British.
m is increase of 11 per cent over
the expected 1941 production has
been called for by the government be
cause of the vital part eggs play in
the nation’s diet, according to C. F.
Parrish of North Carolina State col
lege.
During the next six to eight
months, there will be a special need
for good feeding and care to get
increased production from each hen.
After that time, greatly increased
numbers of pullets win come into
production.
Hie number of layers on farms at
the beginning of 1942 is expected to
be 10 per cent greater than during
the early part of this year.
This is one time when fanners
should really use all their skill in
getting more eggs from their hens.'
Csrefbl feeding and management,
essentials of any good poultry pro
gram at any time, should be brought
into use by everyone during this
emergency.
Favorable egg prices, together
with the government pledge to put'
a floor under prices, provide a
strong incentive to boost production.'
Farm Work Clothes
Under Price. Control
The government’s interest in
the farm working man has ex
tended as far as his working
clothes.
.Pointing out that the wholesale
price of overalls has gone up 35
per cent and the wholesale price
of work trousers 37 per cent in
the past two years, the Office of
Price Administration now is act
ing to keep the cost of this wear
ing apparel from getting further
out of line.
Chambray, cotton coverts and
denims, 1 widely used materials
for working clothes, have been
added to the list of cotton goods
now under a definite price sched
ule. Forestalling of advances in
price on the fabric is expected to
head off tbe inevitable increase
which comes when the work
ninthing crosses the retail coun
ter.
The OPA, of which Miss Har
riett Elliott, consumer consultant,
is assistant administrator, acted
last spring to put standard print
doth and other higher grade cot
ton goods' under a “ceiling.”
Since then fabrics for work
clothes have increased in price
until they are out of line with the
established ceiling.
Profitable Pastures
Pasture land promises to be one
of the most profitable sources of
larm income in the next year or two
in view of the. steadily increasing
defense demands for meat and dairy
products. In order to obtain the
most profitable results from pasture,
a program of good soil management
including the application of fertilizer
Js essentiaL Such a program not
only will produce grasses richer in
needed vitamins and minerals, but
- will promote more rapid growth.

Bosiness And Salvation
Rev. Walter E. Iaenhour. Hiddenite1 N. C.
Business and salvation should go
together Why not? We realize
that we are in a business world,
and In order to live we must tran
sact business. Everybody must
have a living. God expects us to
have an occupation, and to leal
one with another. There is indeed
a business side of life as well as a
spiritual side. Both should go to.
getber. Absolutely.
No man should engage in busi.
ness that is wrong; that is out of
keeping with God’s holy Word and
will; that gives him a guilty con
science; that would keep him out
of heaven, and that would hurt his
fellowmen, .jjjaysically, mentallyt
morally, financially and spiritually,
and keep them from seryidg and
worshipping God acceptably, and
rob them of heaven.
If men everywhere would take
salvation into their business, and
business into their salvation, which
is reasonable and right, this would
be a far different world to what it
is today. Everybody would treat
each other fair and square. There
would be no lying, cheating and
peftanding. In laboring one for
another, and in dealing with eajb
other in business, it would be plea
sant. Men would not mistreat each
other. Every man would give a
hundred cents to the dollar and six
teen ounces to the pound. Thev
would be absolutely honest with
each other. That is how it ought
to be.
Hdwever,-since the vast multi
tudes leave God out of their busi
ness, and won’t live to do His holy
will, it is up to those of us who
blend business and salvation' to be
true and faithful. Let's do ' our
best to be straightforward and hon
est in the business, world, and to
serve and worship God acceptably.
It is wonderful to owe no man any
thing but to love him;-: ,to realize
that we ate not beating our way
through life by dishonest means
and methods; that we are doing
God's will by the occupation we
follow, the work we do, the way
we deal with our fellowmen, and
meanwhile have our affection set on
things heavenly Yes, every man's
bnsiness should be in harmony with
salvation—with God and His will.
No one can be dishonest and un.
fair in his business, or follow the
wrong business, and in the mean
time have salvation, rich, full and
free. Amen.

A*ter Scrap Metal.
,It was only a few short years ago
that farms and towns and cities ot
our/'h^yied country were being
Rtripp^Sof all scrap metal. We
watehed;day after day long trains
loaded , with metal of all kinds as
they passed Kinston on their way
to Morehead City where the metal
coiij^he. placed on ships and car-
;tjj^Jp|>Japao. Other American
” 'rts were full of boats loading the
stuff for transports across the Pa.
clfic to be made into guns and other
implements of war by the Japs.
The irony of this thing lies in the
fact that some of the metal that
went out of North Carolina may
have actually wouoded Tar Heels
in Hawaii and 0 -r other island pos
sessions when the Japs made that
murderous attack upon them. How
short-sighted were we in those days
in making these shipments Some
one said the other day “ We sold
the Japs scrap metal and now they
are giving It back to us.”
But today we know where -the
scrap metal is going and wc urge
full co-operation of all citizens on
farms, in-towns and in cities..to' Irally to their government in an
hour when it needs them most. Yes

French The latter, a 83 ,423-ton
luxury liner, of‘which the French
were so proud in peace time, is to

by the American government and is

fittings and made into a grim' and

to do a lot of things to a lot of peo

pointed vessels .add take our incon

CHAPTER I
' Arthur Mulford’s secretary faced ;him unsuspectingly across the massive mahogany desk.
I “You wanted to see me, Mr. Mul- tord?”
j Too ,man surveyed the slender fig-'
ufe before
. “It’s like this, Joan,” he said de
cisively, 'TH have to let you go.”
I ’ Joan Leland stared at him in as
tonishment. “You mean I’m fired?”
MuIford shrugged. “That’s it.”
“But why? What have I done?”
He picked up a sheaf of papers
end reached for the telephone,
i “I don’t care to discuss it. You’ll
!receive your next two weeks’ salary,
Cf course, but you need not finish
out the month.”
■ “You mean this is my last day?”
! “Yes! That’s all, Joan!”
The late October sunshine flowed In pale golden streams across the
busy streets of San Francisco as •Joan left the office for the apartment she shared with her sister.
Fired! There was something almost sinister about this abrupt dismissal.
After two years on the job!
“Thank heaven, Sybil has a job!” Joan thought.
The apartment boasted a fireplace
end long floor-length windows. It
was part of one of the old mansions
for which San Francisco is famous. A regal building that had housed one of the great families of the city,
now cast off by their grandchildren
and subdivided into studio apartments. True, there was seldom
enough heat and the cooking facilities were inadequate, but the old
house reflected the charm and gra
ciousness of the past.Joan glanced lovingly about the
room, file girls had used their fur
niture left to them by their parents. It was heavy, and rather old- fashioned, but it suited the high-
ceilinged room.A voice from the bedroom hailed
her. "Joan? That you?” i “Why, Syb! What are you doing
home so early? I thought the beauty
shop was staying open until seven
this month.” . —'■ Sybii appeared in - the doorway
clad in dressing gown and slippers,
cigarette in hand. Her blonde hair
curled meticulously; her blue eyes were a trifle hard. The two girls seemed to have little in common in
appearance or temperament. Joan,
brunette, twenty, restless, impulsive. Sybil, seven years older, gold
en-haired, inclined to caution, espe
cially where men were concerned.
Sybil had been married and di-
'voiced when she was twenty-one. !Since then she had been determined
[to save Joan from making the same
'mistake. “Never trust any man,” was Sybil’s motto, but Joan did not !take it too seriously, suspecting that her sister’s cynicism was covering
'a broken heart. ., “What a day!” Sybfl said, dreari- Iy throwing herself upon the couch.
i"I have some news for you, Sis.”‘.‘I have something to tell you,
■too,” Joan said grimly. “I’ve lost
jmy job! Mr. Mulford gave me two weeks’ salary and told me not to
'come back!”I Sybil sat up wide-eyed. . “Oh,
!Joan! No!”“He wouldn’t even give me a rea-
son,” Joan continued heatedly. “I
'can’t understand it. I’m sure there
!isn’t anything wrong with my work. There’s something very strange
jabout this, Syb! Mr. Mulford seemed !positively anxious to get rid of me.”
“But, Joan,” Sybil interrupted, “I
lost my job today too!”The girls stared at each other in
alarm. ."The beauty shop is closing,”
Sybil said, breaking the- silence.
“This is my last week?’“Well, of course we’ll find something else,” Joan said, but her voice
carried no conviction. “After all,
we’re both experienced. I’m sure Mr. Mulford will give Ae a refer
ence.”"Jobs aren’t easy to get . ... “Don’t be a pessimist, darling!”
Joan advised.She tied a colored apron around her waist and went into the. kitchen.
“There’s nothing to worry about
tonight. We’ve got enough money in our account to last almost a month.”
Sybil’s blue eyes were troubled.
“Joan, that’s just it! I checked that money out yesterday to pay for a
new coat. I thought we didn’t need it and I was'going to pay it back a little each month. Therd1U. hot a cent left in that account.”
Night had fallen with a ’suddenness which filled Ae apartment with
a strange new silence.“How. much money, haye you in
yOur purse?” Joan inquired, frown-
Agf"Two or three dollars. ,And,you?” <<I have this check from'’MT. Mul-
ford. That will pay Ae rent for
anoAer monA.”Sybil shivered and drew her quilt
ed satin robe closer. “What are we
going to do-Aen?” •“You couldn’t return Ae coat?”
“No. It’s been altered.”“I’ll start lookmg tomorrow,
Joan said resolutely. “Mr. MidfOrd’s UBHPiiy at Ae store until Ate. Fm
going to telephone him and tell him
“After all, Aere’s no harm A applyAg for Ae job. If somet&Ag I* wrong wiA it, I can teU when I go down there.”
I’ll stop by Ae momAg to get a ref
erence. I forgot all about it this afternoon. I was so upset.”
Sybil watched A silence as Joan
dialed Ae number.
“This is Joan Leland. May I speak to Mr. Mulford?”
There was a pause before a
strange feminAe voice replied, “I’m sorry. That will be impossible. Mr.
Mulford left town an hour ago.”
Jqan gasped, “Left town? To
night?”
"That’s right.”
“Who A this speaking, please?”
Joan Aquired hotly.
“I- am his secretary,” Ae voice informed her and the receiver
clicked.
“He’s left town! And he’s already
hired a new secretary!”
“I told you Aere was somethAg
funny about this! Aiid how can you get a reference if he’s not here?
You’ve never worked for anyone
else.”
“That’s what worries me!”
“Let’s eat,” Sybil suggested. “I
can’t think when I’m hungry.”
“Cheerful night,” Sybil commented, as Aey ate.
“I know!” Joan cried suddenly. “I’U took for a job A Ae want ads.
Where’s Ae paper?”
Sybil Adicated Ae small coffee
table.
Joan seized Ae paper and turned to Ae classified section. “I need a
job and I need it right now! Listen to this. “Joan’s voice rang wiA excitement as she read, “ ‘Competent
secretary wanted. WillAg to work
nights. ,Apply after 9 p. m.’ ”
“Wait,” Sybil said seriously,
“Why do Aey want you to work
nights? And why apply after 9
p. m.T”
“What does it matter? A job’s a job.”
Sybil stared at her A disapproval. “You’re not serious?”
Joan jumped up and ran Ato Ae bedroom. “I certainly am! I’m go-
Ag to apply for Aat job right now!”
Sybil followed her. “You’ll do nothing of Ae kAd, Joan Leland! We’re not Aat hard up. Even if
we were, L don’t want you to work nights.”Joan Aughed recklessly as she
ran a comb through Ae raven-black haA and touched a powder puff to
A e'white skA. “You take every- AAg too seriously, Syb! After all, Aere’s no. harm A applyAg for Ae
job. If someAAg is wrong wiA it,
I can tell when I go down Aere.” Sybil Was 'unconvAced. “I don’t
like the sound of it,” she insisted
stubbornly."'“What’s Ae address?” “North Beach,” Sybil said care
lessly. .“North Beach? That’s certainly not a very good place for a girl to be working nights!’*.'
“How do I look?” Joan asked. Exasperated, Sybil stared at her. Joan looked sophisticated, too so
phisticated, Sybil Aought, because at-heart Joan .was just a kid. Sie
didn’t know anything about life, or,
about men.“Be careful, Joan! And come
right home afterwards, will you?” “Of course! Stop AeatAg me like
a child! I’ll call you after Ae interview,'if that will make you feel any
better.”
“I still don’t understand why Mul- ford fired you wiAouit notice or rea
son,” Sybil pondered. “And why
did he leave town, if Aat girl A tell- Ag Ae truA? By Ae way, ,What-A
she doAg at Ae office at night?”“I don’t know. Of course I worked
at night once A a while. Ifs strange
that he should start a new girl at night. Lut an importing shop A a
little different from a regular of
fice.”
“I don’t understand why he would hAe another secretary so quickly.
Maybe she was lyAg.”
“But why should she? And why should Mr. Mulford try to avoid me?”
“I wouldn’t know,” Sybil admit-
ted. “But I want you to be careful
tonight.” •
Joan, however, was not eyen
thinkAg of her sAter’s waraAg as : she stepped from Ae street car Ato
Ae damp, foggy streets of NorA Beach. WiA mountAg curiosity,
she walked to Ae address given A the paper.
“Why it’s a night club!” she said
aloud as she paused under Ae long canopy that led to Ae street.
A sign on Ae door informed, the
passerby Aat Ae Ciub Elite would be open for business Ae following Saturday night.
Joan pushed open Ae heavy door and went A.' She paused a mo
ment to accustom her eyes to the dim light. To Ae right she could
see a large room filled wiA gilded tables and chairs and a band stand which seemed to crowd a small dance .floor.
A man appeared suddenly out of
Ae shadows and surveyed her from head to foot before he said. “Well, what do you want?”
Joan said uneasily, “I came about
an ad Aat was A the paper for a secretary.”
He seemed relieved. “Okay. Down Ae hall. Second door to Ae left.
The boss will talk to you.”
Joan, followAg instructions,,
opened Ae door Ato a Arge mod
ernistic office. A powerful built, blond man stood before a filing cab-
Aet. He turned quickly as she entered.
“I came about-Ae job advertised A the paper,” she. faltered.
. He flashed her a quicksmilefrom steel-blue eyes. ' “Won’t you sit down?” His voice was tinged wiA.
an accent.. Joan saw - a hard' face,
almost grim, yet amusement hovered A As eyes. HA lips seemed
not to move as he spoke. The hand Aat Adicated a chair was beautifully shaped, Ae . fingers taper-
Ag and artistic. There was somethAg strangely magnetic about Ais man.
“I am Karl Miller. And you?”
“Joan Leland A my name. Until today I have been employed by an importing firm owned by Arthur
Mulford.”
“Ah?” He opened a large silver
box and took out a cigarette. “I
was A Ae importmg busAess myself, but Ae war stopped that. I
am now openAg thA night dub. I
need a secretary to take care of Ae office work.”“I’m sure you’ll find me satisfao
tory, Mr. Miller.”
“You have references, of course?” She hesitated. “No, Mt. Mulfqrd
was called out Cf town and I have
been unable to reach him.”
“If you are able to do Ae work,
that wjU be sufficient. I want you to be here at Aght, but you won’t
have to come until early afternoon.
Two hours off for dinner. The. salary A fifty dollars a week.”
Her eyes widened. “Fifty dollars a week?” - ^ .
HA expression did not change as he s Ad, “ConsiderAg Ae unusual , hours, I feel that a smaller salary
- would not be fair recompense.’’
“I understand. When do you want
me to start?”
“Two o’clock tomorrow.”Joan rose to go.

It is said the president has come
out in favor of night baseball games.
Politics is warming up in Forsy
th cou ty, despite the war and high
taxes. Two men have announced
for Congress and one lady wants to
go to Raleigh as r. legislator.
The coal and wood dealers are
anxiously awaiting groundhog day
so they will know whether to put
in extra large supplies of fuel.
Here’s hoping the hog will come
out of his winter quarters and stay
out. ._______
If it was a good idea to cut out
the legal manufacture and sale of
alcoholic beverages daring the days
of the first world war, seems that it
would be a good idea to do the
same thing today. We never heard
of liquor winning a war.
With this country billed to spend
a billinn dollars a week for the next
tweive months, it seems that re
trenchment is needed along many'
lines. It Is time to cut out unneces
sary and foolish spending of the
taxpayers money.
Tbe clocks throughout the coun.
try are being turned up one Lour on
Monday morning, Feb. 9th. The
idea is to save electricity. If this
is really true, why not cut out night
baseball this year? It takes mnch
electricity to light up the hundreds
of ball fields throughout the coun'
try for two or three hours every
night.
It will not be long until the poli
ticians will be out shaking bands
with the dear people and pleading
with them for their votes. Despite
the fact that this country is in war
the various offices have to be filled.
It is not long until these officers
will have to be nominated. Good
men should be chosen for all the
offices— from township constable to
United States Senator.
Daylight Time Next
Month.
The House on Thursday com.
pleted congressional action on day
light saving time legislation to ad
vance the nation’s clocks one hour
on Monday, February 9th, at
o’clock, a. m.
To Decide On Time
Since there are several viewpoints about what the schools should do
about the matter of observing day* light saving time the county board
of education desires to sound .'out sentiment a little further before- deciding what action will be taken;'
The board wants to do what the'mo- jority of the people want.
According to the county superintendent. sentiment seems to be in
favor of opening schools one hour later, in other words open at nine-
thirty davlight saving time, at least
until the latter part of March. On
the other hand, some feel that since there is a shortage of farm labor,
the schools should observe daylight saving time now so that the blder
boys can be released earlier for form work.
The board of education will' pass upontbe matter Monday. In the
meantime, the county superintend
ent and principals wou d like to have expressions from patrons in- the va
rious communities.
Famed Male Dies In
44th Year.
A 44-yearxtld mule that has been
owned by Mrs Mary F. Carter of R.
No. 4 for the last 39 years died last
week.
Named -‘'Roadie,” this mule could
and'did .plow gardens and'truck
patches when she was 42. Mrs. Car*
ter said tbit* faithful mule helped to
raise eight children, which are now
all married and most with families.
“Roadie” was bought when she
was five years old. Biack and fat.
she got sick in the barn lot. Neighbors and a son-in-law took a bed
quilt, rolled "Roadie”' upon it and carried her inside the barn where she died a peaceful, comfortable death.
Insofar as is kncwn “Roadie" was
by far the oldest mule known in this
section.
Appoint Groundhog
Committee.
Next Monday, Feb. 2nd being
grouodtlog day, we feel it our duty
to appoint a committee of true and
tried men from the Sheffield com
munity, to assemble at the Wade
Smith store in the town on Shef
field, early next Monday morning
to meet the said groundhog when
he emerges from bis winter notne
in the environs of Sheffield.
The committee is urged to greet
the said hog witb due solemnity,
and beg that he will be merciful to
us during the next forty days The
committee is composed of the fol.
lowing gentlemen:
D. P. Dyson, R. N Smith, Tohn
Black welder, H. G. I atnes, W. L.
Gaither, D. L. Dyson, T. A. Gaith

committee will please send in tbeir
report next week.
Tobacco Canvas Short.
Davie county tobacco farmers
may have some difficulty In secnr
ing enough canvas this winier to
cover their plant bedi. The short
age is said to be caused on account
of the amount of the amount of
canvas shipped to European coun
tries to be used for bandages, gauze
and other war purposes Much of
this canvas is needed in Red Cross
work, and for the United States
army. The shortage may amount
to one.third or one-fourth of the
normal amount of this goods sold
last year.
Only Few Days Left.
If you want any fresh rabbit,
quail or ’possum you will have to
get bufy, as there are but a few
days left in which to hunt. The
rabbit and bird open season expires
next Saturday, Jan. 31st, and the
’possum law expires Feb. 16th. It
is said that there are but few quail
left in Davie county.

Ready for Another Crack at Hitler’s Huns
Studying SkiUar
Ignoring Skutta
By LEMUEL F. PARTON ,
(Consolidated Features-WNU Service.)
TsJ EW YORK.—Dr. Ales Hrdlicka,
’ the anthropologist, once had a plan to measure the skulls of all congressmen, in his studies
Bruinlndexera of head-size and contour
in their rela
tion to intel
ligence. The
congressmen didn’t like the idea and nothing came of it.
Studying skills, rather than
skulls, Dr. Leonard Carmichael, president of Tufts college, gets
better co-operation. In August, 1940, the government put him at
the head of a committee of sav- . ants to work up a national brain
index. They have compiled an
, index of _severa! hundred thousand good Brain?'. —=-•-•■
ThE committee was known as the
Rational Roster of Scientific and
Specialized Personnel, and now
there has Eeen added to it a special committee on wartime requirements
for specialized personnel, with Dr.
Carmichael as chairman. The ob
vious function of the committee is to find good brains and recruit them.
Since the Srst World war, the clas
sical Binet-Simon intelligence quotient has gained by sundry repairs
and betterments. The inquiry now covers not only the question of whether we know much of anything
but whether we have any sense.
In 1920, we saw an experi
ment in a progressive school in
San Francisco which now seems pertinent to what Dr. Carmich
ael and his committee are trying to do. They picked-a group
of high I.Q. boys, of superior
heredity and cultural background, and then, they picked
some less'favored lads, of low
I.Q. from the North Beach for
eign section. They gave each child a certain amount of mon
ey, told him to buy some thing,1 start trading and report gains
or losses in two months. When
the bell rang, most of the silk- stocking lads had lost their
shirts and the North Beach mob had fanned its holdings up to
sizeable juvenile fortunes.
From this, the 'pedagogs figured
something like survival intelligence
as distinguished from merely superimposed and possibly non-converti
ble cultural intelligence. It is un
questionably survival intelligence
that Dr. Carmichael and his brain- indexers are looking for, as their
study has to do with particularized,
specialized, useful, workable skills.
Dr. Carmichael, one of the most distinguished of modern psycholo
gists, was born in Philadelphia in
1898 , and was educated at Tufts and
Harvard, and taught at Princeton and Brown before becoming presi
dent of Tufts in 1938 .

parts. Elsewhere, we have found
this unique blend of talents only in
Manuel Quezon, recently ' inducted
into Ius second term as president of the Philippines.
Sr. Quezon negotiated for Philip
pine independence in the New York studio of Arthur Murray, the danc
ing master. Dancing- is his art, his recreation and his driving passion.
Four hours a day went to dancing when he was cutting the islands
adrift—with second thoughts later.
The first dancing shift was from 10 o’clock until noon. The hours from
one to three went to Philippine independence, and then the dancing
picked up from three to five.
The bright-eyed, coffee-colored little man with the dazzling
smile so captivated Woodrow _ Wilson that the President put a
- declaration for Philippine inde
pendence slap-bang into the Democratic platform. Bnt In the Hawes-Cutting bill, enacted in
1933, Senor Quezon found a oneway tariff squeeze, unsatisfac
tory guarantees as to the atti
tude of Pacific powers, and other defects, and started dancing
and negotiating his way around
these obstacles.
He is said to be just about the
Snartest politician in the business,

Was a Filipino and his mother half
Spanish. He smokes cigarettes in an endless chain, dancing or sit
ting still, gesticulates. fluently and-
turas the sharp spotlight of a keen, agile, realistic mind on matter in
hand. He was wounded in the Philippine war for independence and for
years strung with the jungle die- hards, somewhat embarrassed in
his later career by the rampant and bellicose Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo*."
President Quezon is 59.

Snack on a Frosty Night—Broiled Wienies
(SeeRecipes Below)
1/Z
Wintry Snacks
The cold, frosty evenings with
their full program of basketball games, sleigh ride parties, skating
and other wintertime amusements call for piping
hot, h e a rty snacks to take care of brisk ap
petites. While in warmer weather,
the family could raid the ice box,
now the problem is slightly different, as hot food, satisfying but still
simple, is in demand.Here’s a dish-that just seems to
fit the bill: the broiled wienies and
hot potato salad pictured above. Qf course', hot potato salad with wienies is an old favorite but there’s a touch
of something new in the wienies broiled with cheese and the green
beans around the potato salad to add a touch of color.
*Broiled Wienies.Select two to three skinless frank
furters for each person to be served,
two will do nicely for the girls and
women but better count three, for the men and boys. Split the frank
furter and insert a strip of American, cheese. When almost ready to
serve, pop into the broiler and cook
until cheese melts and browns.Hot Potato Salad.
(Serves 6)
6 potatoes, boiled with skins on
Vi cup finely chopped onion 2 hard-cooked eggs, diced
Salt and pepper
6 slices bacon, broiled until crisp,
crumbledPeel potatoes and cube. Add remaining ingredients. Just before
ready to serve, mix with this hot dressing:Cooked Salad Dressing.
3 tablespoons sugar
I teaspoon salt
I teaspoon yellow mustard 1% tablespoons flour
1 egg yolk
% cup water -2 tablespoons vinegar
I tablespoon butter
Blend dry ingredients, then add egg yolk and blend until smooth. Add water, then vinegar, stirring
constantly. Cook over boiling water, stirring alTthe while, until thick.
Remove from fire, add butter and
serve hot, mixed with potato salad.
Spaghetti is and has been for some
time now one of the reigning favor
ites among hot
dishes to serve in the evening.
Here’s one dish
you’ll like be
cause it’s both tart and satisfy
ing, with plenty of cheese and sauce baked right into the long
strips of spaghetti:Baked Spaghetti.(Serves S)

Here are a few quick snack
ideas you’ll like to paste in yotfr

sandwiches, placed around the

canned baked beans with sliced ham, too. It’s quick, easy' and
delicious. Toasted buns with hamburgers, cheeseburgers, or bam
and cheese slices go over nicely, too. Toasted ‘English muffins with
an egg fried or poached with ham
are high in favor.

JESUS .CALLS FOUR DISCIPLES
LESSON TEXT—Ltike 5:1-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers ol men. -M aik 1:17.
Followers of Christ are those who
have, not counted their goods nor
their persons their own, but have willingly yielded, all to Him. Obvi
ously many who profess to follow
Him have only done so in that measure which will riot. interfere with
their own plans arid interests. They
need to study this lesson with caTe.
The call of Christ is one which
demands willing and wholehearted
obedience.
I. Yielded Possessions (w. 1 -3).
These disciples had already re
sponded to the ministry of Jesus
and had followed Him for a time
(see John 1 :35-4:54), but they ad
not yet Imow the fullness of surrender to Christ and had now gone
back to their old work of fishing.
May they not be typical of many in our day who know the Lord and
have for a time followed Him closely, but have again become en
grossed in their daily vocation, per
haps just making money?
Jesus was now ready to call them out into a lifetime of service, and the first thing He did was to ask the use
of their chief possession, their boat.
That was first yielded to Him.
It was not by chance that it was Peter’s boat which was just at hand when the Master needed it. Such
things do not “just happen.” The destinies of men. are in the hands of GHTd1 and with His children the
simplest happening is known to and
controlled by Him. He who num
bers the hairs on our heads, He who
observes the fall of the sparrow, knows about everything that hap
pens to us.
n. Yielded Service (w .'4-7 ).
Having completed His teaching by
Word, Jesus had a special object
lesson for Peter and the others con
cerning the fruitlessness of service
apart from His guidance and control, and the blessed results which come from obedience to Him.
Taking them where he found them, He showed the disciples that
He was the Master even of their secular vocation of fishing. He is
the One who knows more about your
business than you do, who can give or withhold His blessing. AU that
we have has come to us from His
hand, and it is all within His con
trol.
This Almighty One was. ready to call these fishermen out into the
greater business of fishing for men by revealing to them His mighty power to bless and prosper the fish
erman—who becomes a fisher of
men.
In. Yielded Lives (w. 8 -11 ).
The giving of their possessions,
the yielding of their work into His hands in obedience, led up to
His call for the yielding of their lives. '
Often we speak of God’s claims upon the life of the Christian as
though it were the fiat of an autocrat, one who demands his rights.
God might well do so, for He has full authority and power over all
of us, but He is a gracious God and
gently leads His children along to the place where they make their
own-decision -to leave all and-fol
low Him.
The work of God in the world is carried on by men. The joy of pro
claiming the gospel was not given
to the angels, but to redeemed men and women. Knowing the regener
ating grace of God in their own
lives, they have been called during
all this Christian era to go out to tell others.
In preparation for that ministry
our Lord needed yielded lives,
which He sought and found in these humble fishermen. Ttiey were “not
visionaries or dreamers/ but were
practical men with common sense.
They had been disciplined in the school of common toil . . . Though
unlearned so far as formal theolog
ical training was concerned, these
men were teachable. Under the tutelage of the Son of God Him- self they received -matchless infor
mal training . . . . leading to a rec
ord of service'which the world will never. forget. It is that sort: of
teaching; that counts^ We,'too, may Ieam in the school of Christ, through a study of His Word, assisted by His
Spirit, and through the yielding of
otir lives to His control” (B. L.
Ohhstead):"'
Christ no longer walks this earth
to seek' and cail out disciples as He did' these men; but the blessed suc
cession of those of whom it may b£ said, .“They forsook all and fol
io wedHim” (v. 11 ), continues to this
day.
We repeat, what we have said be
fore, that one of the thrilling things
about teaching Sunday school is that somewhere, in some class this next
Sunday, God is going to touch the
heart of some boy or girl who will
be a leader for Him for the next generation.

Old Tribe Paint
Helps U. S. Arm
Black Earth Indians Used
Contains Element That
Toughens Steel.
LAKE PLACID, N. Y.-Centuries
ago the St. Francis Indians would
bathe in the magical waters oi a lake deep in the Adirondack forests
and then rub their bodies with the peculiar black soil near by to make them invincible to the fierce Ito -
quois.Now the white men are chopping
roads to the spot at Tahawus, near
the headwaters of the Hudson river,
to scoop up the same soil to make their “fire sticks” and “war birds'' strong against another enemy.
The National Lead company will spend $5,000,000 reopening the long
abandoned Tahawus iron mine to extract titanium, an element valu
able for toughening steel. And the
name given to the new mining settlement is “Elijah,” for the Iadian
who guided pioneers to the place in 1826 for “a dollar and a half and tobacco.”
Mountains Are Rugged.
Once again the white man will try to whip Sie rugged mountains that reduced the earlier venture to a
ghost town and since have protected the sacred waters of Lake San
ford-believed by the Indians to give everlasting life—from all but a few
hunters.Spurred likewise by the defense
program, other large companies are
pouring out several more millions of dollars reopening iron mines at
Clifton, near Canton; at Port Henryt on the southwest shore of Lake Champlain, and at Benson mines,
west of Tupper lake.The region of the developments is historic territory. In 1907 , Vice Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt whipped a. team of horses over the bumpy
roads at night to get to Buffalo, where President McKinley had been
shot by an assassin. Roosevelt had
been vacationing at a hunting lodge near Tahawus.
This also was the section traveled by flie abolitionist, John Brown, who
proposed to transport slaves through the forests in a scheme to establish
a free colony for Negroes.The titanium, used also for whit
ening paint, is combined with the iron deposits that blacken the
ground at Tahawus. It was estimated that 20,000,000 tons of ore lie be
neath these outcroppings on the slopes of Mount Marcy, the highest
peak in the Adirondack*.
Indians Showed Them.
The first miners in the area were skeptical when the Indian, Louis Elijah, entered their camp with a
chunk of the rich ore and assured them, “Find ’m where water run over iron dam." But they followed
him and the truth of the guide’s story may be seen today in a natural dam of iron, five-feet high, in
one of the streams. Furthermore, according to records of the first par
ty, whole sections of the upper Hud
son river bed were found to be nearly pure iron.
Archibald MacIntyre and his associates UL the party hurriedly staked claim to the land and finally
acquired 105,000 acres, about two .townships, for 10 cents an acre.
Their mine prospered and Tahawus ore won gold medals at the Phila
delphia Centennial exposition in 1876 . MacIntyre grew, wealthy and
served as state comptroller for several years.
But transportation was difficult in the mountainous country, and when
more accessible deposits were de
veloped and operated more cheaply In Minnesota, Tahawus lost money.
The mine closed in the
Invents Tiny Black Box
That Grades Diamonds
ST. LOUIS.—A small black box that detects minute graduations o& color in diamonds was exhibited here.
The tiny mechanism was developed after seven years of work. It instantly grades the color quality of
diamonds, much more accurately, than the human eye.
Another new development viewed by jewefers was a magnifying device that can instantly distinguish
between real and synthetic emeralds.
Private Boots. Sergeant
In die Pants Just Once
CAMP WOLTERS, TEXAS.—At
least this is the story:When Harry D. Brunner, Brook
lyn, N. Y., was promoted to be sergeant, a private barracks-mate, said:
“All my life I’ve wanted to boot a sergeant in the seat of the pants.
Now you and I are pretty good friends, so I’m asking you to grant me my wish.”
And—it’s reported—the sergeant graciously complied. -

Specialist Outlmes Rules for
‘Creaming’ Profits.
By JOHN A. ABET
(Dairy Specialist, Portb CiroJina State College.)
The best way to “cream the profits” from a home milk business is to skim off the lazy practices of not
properly caring for your product— the milk.
Farmers who keep a cow or several cows might tack on the wall of
the barn following list of rules to be observed in managing cows and
milk:
Milk clean, healthy cows in a clean, well-ventilated place. Use a partly covered, small-top milk bucket. No
rough edges or rusty spots. Milk with clean, dry hands.Take the milk from the stable or
cow shed as soon as you’ve finished, strain and cool the milk.Set the fresh milk in a cool, airy
place. Set pans or cans of milk in cold fresh water to cool it quickly
and thoroughly.Stir water often—about every 10 minutes at first—less later on.
Keep milk and cream in a well- ventilated place free from insects,
rats, dirt, dust and odors.Don’t add warm milk or cream to cold milk or cream, unless you want to speed up souring.
Rinse utensils, wash, scald with boiling water, diy, sun and air them
promptly.-
Scrub them in warm water with a brush—not a dish rag. Don’t dry
them with a towel.H you sell cream, deliver it twice
a week in winter.

• Tobacco—Many Uses
An additional income of $7.50 an
acre will be available to American
tobacco growers if tobacco seed can be utilized in this country.
In India, Bulgaria and Jugoslavia, an oil is extracted from tobacco seed which resembles sesame seed
in taste and smell. Since it is not thick and penetrates tissues easily,
it may prove useful in the manu
facture of hair oils, glycerine, paints, varnishes and soap. In India, the cake left after the oil is ex
tracted, is fed to sheep and goats. Still another possible use of the cake is in fertilizer. All of these new uses
of seed would not interfere with cultivation or harvest of the tobacco leaf.
In the United States, the 1 ,848 ,652,- 000>pound crop is grown primarily
for cigars, cigarettes, chewing and smoking tobacco and snuff. About
10 per cent is cigar leaf and the rest
is “manufacturing tobacco.” North Carolina produces the most, fol
lowed by Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.-
Some of the crop goes into insecticides in which the nicotine is ex
tracted, combined with oil and used as a spray for moths and garden
pests. Other new applications to farm pests are being sought by-re
search workers. Experiments are
being made to produce a new nonsmoking tobacco, specifically for in
dustrial uses. Recsnt discoveries show that it will be used effectively
in the field of medicine.
The United States grows about one- fourth of the world’s tobacco crop,
uses more than any other country, and imports more. The greatest area extends from Kentucky to Maryland and from central Ohio
to North Carolina. Cigar tobacco is produced in Connecticut, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio. ~

Improve Manure Value
With Superphosphate
Farm manure’s value as a fall <arid winter fertilizer is greatly in
creased by the addition of superphosphate. The superphosphate not only prevents nitrogen loss in the
manure, but adds another important plant food element—phosphorus—an element that is IacMng in all ma
nures. “Methods of applying it may vary according to farm conditions,”
says a statement.of the Middle West Soil Improvement Cc-mmittee, “but perhaps the simplest way is to
scatter one or two pounds of super
phosphate per animal per' day in the gutter or trough -where manure is collected. By this means the su
perphosphate is evenly distributed through the mixture.”
A g ric u ltu ra l N otes
Grain for dairy cattle should be' ground, but fine grinding may be harmful because such feed has too
little bulk to be used most efficiently by cows.
Hogs to, be butchered should not be fed for 24 hours /before killing
but should get all/ the water they,
want. Fasted hogs bleed'out better and dress more easily.

Peanuts for Oils
It took the circus to make file pea
nut into a national food, and it remained for a Nagro scientist, Dr.
George Washington Carver, to find Scores of new uses for the lowly peanut and its shell.Dr. Carver has developed a pea
nut milk, shampoo, vinegar, soap, cosmetics, ink powder, robber and
charcoal. Peanuts are used com
mercially in more than 300 products including shaving lotions, dyes, lino*
leum, axle grease and wood stains. Every part of the plant may be
used to advantage. When properly
cured, the peanut vines make edible hay for stock which compares
favorably with clover and alfalfa.
The shells have been crushed into
insulating boards.Co-operative Marketing .associa
tions of the peanut-growing states, have banded together in a National Peanut council which aims to in
crease the use of peanuts. About 200,000,000 pounds are made into
peanut butter annually. Salted pea
nuts appeared first in 1887 .At the New Orleans region’s re
search laboratory of the U. S. department of agriculture, scientists
are working on the processes.of extracting peanut oil and its use as a lubricant in the textile industry to
replace imported olive and linseed oil. Shelled peanuts contain 40 to
50 per cent oil and fills is often substituted for olive oil in food.
Largest Rural Network
What is believed to be the world’s
largest rural electrification network connects areas in the adjoining states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and
Iowa, according to Rural Electrification News. The generating plant of
the Tri-State Power Cooperative— largest yet constructed in the REA
program—is located near Genoa, Wis. It is serving 11 farmer-owned
distribution co-operatives, and has an installed capacity of 8,000 kilowatts. .Two additional turbo-gener
ators, each with a capacity of 5,000 kilowatts, are to be installed. Ife 400
miles of transmission lines, distributing electricity at 34,500 volts,
branch out in aU directions to large
areas in. the three states.
127 Midget Ships
Added to Program
PUmned to Meet Shortage
In Cargo Vessels.
' WASHINGTON.—Confronted with
an immediate shortage of merchant shipping, pending delivery of mass
tonnage of Liberty ships and other cargo vessels now on the ways, the United States maritime commission announced that it plans to build 127
smaller special-type vessels which
can be constructed without interfer
ing with the larger shipbuilding program. Some are alrer / under construction.
The new program will consist of
16 small Diesel coastal-type tankers, 25 seagoing geared-Diesel tugs, 26
Diesel harbor tugs, 45 small cargo ships of a/British design known
as coasters, and 15 concrete barges for transport of bulk cargo.
The small Diesel tankers are based on existing design.
The Diesel-geared tugs will be 185
feet long and, except for horsepower, among the largest ever built.
The design is new. The latest type of such tugs afloat are Dutch models of from j},000 to 4,000 horsepow
er, but this has been cut to 2,250 horsepower by maritime commis
sion specifications. If necessary, these tugs could tow across any
oceaiv but they are primarily intended for use in Gulf and AmericSn
coastal waters. The navy useS a
somewhat similar tug to tow targets. :?• ■'
The harbor tugs are to have 1,000 horsepower delivered by direct-drive
Diesels. They are to be 100 feet in
length, equipped with towing machinery.
There are no set specifications for
the harbor tugs and they may be
designed either by the commission or privately.
IAiesf Bending
Swinging round the circle to see
where soil conservation is working
and where farmers are still losing too much of the soil that they might
be saving, Dr. H. H. Bennett of the U. S. department of agriculture
found that out in “the region of straight' line plowing,” the contour
method is making progress. More than half the com in the typical Com Belt county of Montgomery, in
Iowa, was planted on contour this
year. None was continued in 1937 .
America’s War Victims
Appeal for Your Help
First war poster of the new World War, painted by the distinguished artist James Montgomery Rlagg, carries an appeal ISr a WMMXMMO war fund to aid
