Mel- varine Hendricks, Teacher. Don’t Strike Back Rev. W alter E. Isenhour. Hiddenite. N. C. If you would win the victory don’t strike back. If you would be a conqueror and a hero, don’t strike back. God’s wav is always best. We never go wrong by 0. beying Him, and by following in the footsteps of our Savior. Jesus said: “Whosoever shall smite thee on thv right cheek, torn to Lim the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law. and take awav thv coat, let him have thv doke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to, go a mile, go with him twain.” (Matt. 5:39 41.) Human nature, apart from God and godliness, .is to strike back, or return evil for’ evil. God’s plan for our lives is to retiffe-.good for evil. This will always bring ns our right. It will not onty give us victory, but it brings to us peace, joy and happiness also. We- feel glad when we go God’s way, but we feel bad, mean and little when we go the way of sin and the devil. You mav stride back, or return e- vil for evil, and get the best of the other fellow for the time, but you will lose later on. If somebody mistreats you. don’t strike back.' If you a r . opposed as a Christian; fought and perse­ cuted, don’t strike back. If some one tells a falsehood on you don’t strike back. Let the lie alone It will break its own neck If you are evil spoken of, don’t strike back. While the other fellow speaks evil of you, and has a guilty con­ science', just pray for him. You’ll feel good and glad while he will feel mean and miserable. Let God deal with him. He can do a u:uch better job ot* it than yoct can. One of the haidest things to do is to keep quiet while the enemy rails upon usj While someone be Iittles ns, fights us, or the work we are doing for God and the right It is vary easy to fire back. It takes wonderful grace to be still, calm, quiet and peaceful when stor­ my persecutions are upon us, aud the enemy is ranting and raging against us Our strength of char­ acter and manhood is not revealed in striking back, but in -keeping still and holding steady. If some one is cursing you, be- meaning and belittling you, or is making life hard for you, don’t Strike back." Keep still. Keep cool under test and ■ trial.' Hold your] nerve, hold vour peace. Stand] still and see the salvation of the' Lord. . You’ll win out. You'll rise whiie^be. falls, sooner or later. Let him rSve and rant, foam and troth, but you keep still. Don’t strike back. When be has spent his fury upon you, he will feel mis erable while you wili good. Be­ loved, it's so. One of the hardest places in the world to keep from striking back is In the home. We. believe this to be true Things happen that tries one’s patience, that tests bis saiva. tion. The home life and test is the hardest in the world to the av­ erage person. Il yon have victory in your heart find soul at home you can have it anywhere. Husband, don’t strike back. Wife, don’t strike back. If you do. you'll say aod do that which yon’ll regret. Ask God to keep you in a spirit of prayer and a state of grace. Don’t strike back at your neigh­ bor. We know that he may not always treat you right, nor deal fai. with yon, nor say kind things to you and about you, but don’- strike back. Let him do the stnk ing and you do the praying. Let him do the repenting and you do the rejoicing. Letbim do thecon-' ’ • 'Ifessing and you do the forgiving; Let him live in the' shadows, but you live in the Sunshine. Let him do the worrying, but you do the For A Single Shell. The Christian Science Monitor re­ minds that it takes from 60 to 140 gallons of ethyl alcohol to manu­ facture the 1,000 to 1,500 pounds ot smokeless powder required to a. single shell from a battleship’s tur­ ret, and therefore calls it highly im. portant that (the . distillers divert tbeir time and energy from brew­ ing dynamite:] for humans, to the production of something that is so essential to victory. The liqdorljindustrv, easier than any other can divert.Sixty per cent of its energies as the Office of Pro­ duction has prescribed. By'admis- sion of one of its spokesmen there is on hand in warehouses a five, vear supply of distilled liquors. In a pinch we could let all of it stav there and age, while 100 per cent the distillery business is requisticn- ed for WartUse. The Monitor raises th is point: point: “Are we thus to be treated to the spectacle of highly paid war workers being unable to buy many things which have become necessi­ ties, vet .able to buy without stint that which: is capable of slowing up war production? Rationing tires, sngar, automobiles, washing ma­ chines and scores of useful materi­ als, yet permitting liquor to flow freely is a national absurdity worthy of Gilbertian treatment. ” ’ Other and more importa. t indus­ tries than] the liquor business haye bad much more severely to curtail normal activities in the interests of the war effort or even to shut down altogether. Certainly tbett the en­ tire distilling business can be spared,' without upsetting the balances, economic or otherwise. The liquor industry is'not bucking the OPM order it is TrSe, but it hopes to maintain" a normal market against the day When its product will be no louger needed to pour into] the mouth of a cannon.

Amen; Artificial Shortages There are shortages of certain articles which we have been using practically every dav and there will be other shortages. But sqme of the shortages can be averted if the public docs not stam. ped| and buy more than usual. Have you ever stopped to think that a shortage can be created in almost any line of merchandise? Suppose, for instance, that word was to get out that there was go­ ing to be a serious shortage of sugar Now, mind you, we said suppose the word was' to get out that there would be a shortage ot that com modity, The truth of tbe matter is, there will be plenty of sugar for SljrlT1Je people. . But if everybody was scared that there would be a shortage, three- fourths of the people wonld , rush out and buy a six-months’ supply. What would be tbe result? After such a stampede of buy­ ing, there would be a temporary shortage and some would be unable to get it. On tbe other hand, it people bought as usual without any stam. pede and rush, .there would be no shortage at any time. A shortage of sugar developed a few days ago f r a very brief time in Winston-Salem because of rum. Ors of a sngar shortage As a re suit, stocks were depleted, many stores were out of sugar and some people had diffiulty finding some There was an accufe shortage of sugar during the first World War. At that time a greater part of our sugar supplies came from Cuba and there was lack of transporta­ tion facilities as well as the need for sending big supplies to England and France. ' ?- But tbe sugar situation has chan­ ged much since then. Vast quan­ tities of cane sugar are now pro duced in the southernmost parts of this country and the sngar beet in­ dustry in western states has grown to enormous proportions. . There should be no more shortage of sug­ ar now than there is of floor, corn and cotton, of which w. have large surpluses. Unfounded rumors and careless talk, the kind which pleases Hitler when it goes on in this country, can create stubborn problems. In other words, the public can be stampeded into fear of. what does not exist. And that is n situation we do not want. The government will give the people accurate, information about any shortage which exists and un­ less you read in tbe newspapers or bear by radio irotn some official source of a shortage, disregaid the street rumors. Those who listen to tbe rumors and try to buy up everything in sight of any one commodity are liable to wake up and find that a substantial sum of money has been poured into a rat hole.—Wilkes Journal.’ It seems that since the above ar tide was written, a sugar shortage is about to stare ns in the face. Beginning this month it is said that only one ponnd of sugar per person per week, can be purchased. So far as we can learn, that is about all ns poor folks will be ,able to purchase, even were there no re­ strictions. A pound of sugar each week ought to be enough to keep the average person sweet.

FromTbeYellowJacket You can’t expect much when people leave their government to politicians, their charities to orga. nizations, their religion to paid preachers more interested in their souls. If somebody don’t begin to fill up the-holes and cracks wherq^ tbe substance of ,the country isleaking thru, something terrible isgoi^ig to happen. A stitch in]: time saves nine. The late.S.nator Borah once Said: “ When a country becom s indiffer­ ent to injustice^]when it loses j its capacity for indignation and apger, it has begun to decay.” Yes,’and tbe trnth of that-remark is in-evid. ence today on a grand scale. Don’t yon tbink things have come to a heck of a pass wbtjn : man without a union card has a. bout as much chance to be a free A- merican and secure a job as a sw>w. ball has of becoming an Icicle injtbe infernal regions? Speaking of tbe power of liquor in influencing men to evil, suggests this question: . Wbat notable] A mericao was baselv murdered by a man who was bribed to commit the crime inconsideration of a barrel of rum? Send ns a club along with your answer Old Hitter keeps informing Joe Stalin that bis Russian armieshave been annihilated, but Stalin pre tends be is an illiterate cuss find can’t read or understand German, so he keeps on fighting. It’s bard to lick a man that hasn’t got sense enough to know when he’slickeq. See where a war correspondent, says that the lowly louse may de; feat Hitter and change the course of history. If so let there be lice and more lice until tbe last drop of blood is socked from tbe blood- spilling-Huns. As it was in the days of Pharaoh, may lice cover the whole German clan until there are lice on man and Least from Hamburg to Heosidam. J Did you ever stop to cooteito- plate wbat is going to happen wbffi the last cent of credit has been used, np and there, are no more dollars to be a plied in the form of govern', ment charity? With the comingspf that time we may expect the dark­ est hour this country has ever wit­ nessed. \ - • C The Senator Is Right We hasten to agree with Senator Vnndenberg, Michigan Republican solon, who has entered a protest in the Senate agfijttst a War Depart­ ment call for bids on three thousand rubber cuspidor mats.. With civilians facing the probabi­ lity of having to walk because^of Jhe ban on the purchase ot tires due to rubber shortage, it is. absurd that such an order, was even considered, As Senator Yafidenberg suggests, it would be better to give the War Department officers a course i n straight spitting. The three thous­ and pounds of rubber necessary for manufacturing the mats is no small item in view of the general situation It might even be well to turn in tbe heavy brass cuspidors for scrapmetal and substitute ash cans. The incident has its funny side, of course, but it also serves to stress the governmental tendency to ignore practicalities when it comes to Feder­ al business. The abandon with which the Wpr Department proposes to cbntinUe using rubber mats as ueqal regard- less of the self-denials to which the rubber sh rtage is subjecting the masses, is on a par with the cQngrqs- Rionat propensity to continue appro­ priating large sums for noi tial pork-barrel spending.

One Way Around. The American people are having tire trouble. There is the pros­ pect that they will bave more of it, and maybe worse, before tbe situa tion gets b e tte r.In the meantime they are turning theireyes longing- Iv to the noisy, lumbering old in- teruban railways, most of which are rusting from disuse. And the rail­ roads, after all, may not be able to yank tbeir trains off unprofitable runs aud tear np their tracts to pro. vide steel for other, and more urgent purposes. Likewise there is tbe . prediction ] that the population trend to towns and cities will be baited, if not re. versed.' Mechanics and artisons who now are earning their keep in the cities and spending tbeir dollars where and bow they please—some of it for flivvers. and gasoline to take them to and fro—mar bave (0 rent a conpla rooms in town -for tbe duration and sac ifice tbe joys of country life for the chicken-cooping in town. But mucb of this conld be avoid­ ed bv a little c mmon-sense plan­ ning. Under tbe present set-up a dozen cars are often used in bring­ ing as many workers to their jobs in] the cities. A little systematiz. ing; would enable two such vehicles toVserve the dozen. It would not be as convenient of course, but wholesale employment of that prin­ ciple would meet the argument that defense workers must be provided ed for. And certainly when these are given preferential treatment, everybody and bis brother will be defense worker. Right now we’d guess that the nation’s automobile transportation costs could be cut by one-tbird tin­ der systematic planning that would fill every car to capacity—or keep I it in the garage. That would pinch like tbe dickens and wonld inter, fere with tbe perspective of those who think it can't happen- here.

Currently, he tells the house agriculture com m ittee about the urgency of planting large areas of the guayule shrub. This tim e, the com m ittee is listening m ore in­ tently. G erm any is far ahead of us in synthetic rubber production. On occasion, Dr. Brandes has worked up a pleasant friendship with head-hunters, and should be able to get on friendly terms with congressmen. It was in August, 1923, that he landed his hydroplane In a jungle river in New Guinea. It scared the wits out of the pygmy head-hunters. But the genial and conspicuous­ ly unarmed Dr. Brandes lured them into his camp by friendly gestures and they became friends and co-operatars. He has flown many thousands of lone jungle air leagues on many re­ search expeditions to Central and South America, Asia and the Pacific islands. In July, 1940, congress provided $500,000 for a study of crude rubber in the Western hemisphere. Dr. Bran­ des flew to Brazil and is now offering to congress the result - of his researches there.

When, as a young man, get­ ting a start as a jeweler, John James Allan decided to give his life to the Salvation Army, he disguised himself as a derelict, when he went down into New York’s Bowery. He shared their flop-houses, wore ragged clothes and took his hand-out , where he found it. “Condescending to men of low estate,” in the scriptural phrase, he found reciprocal un­ derstanding when he shared their troubles. That was the start of his career of kindly and aggressive friendliness as an evangelist, and champion of the down-but-never-outs, and as a cornetist for the Bowery and for King George of England—at a command performance in 1904.

Whitman—'WNU Service.) A ntique Finish on Furniture P AXNTED furniture in w hite or 1 light cream usually becom es m ore attractive w hen given a finish know n as “ antique.” In its applica­ tion the painted finish of the furni­ tu re should be thoroughly dry, and if necessary, sm oothed with very fine sandpaper. A coat of a thin varnish, Ioiown a s a glaze, is then applied liberally. This glaze is not clear, but is tinted either w ith d ark brow n or w ith black. W hile the glaze is still w et, it is wiped off with lint- less cheese-cloth in such a way that a very thin coat is left on the flat surfaces, w hile m ore is left in the carvings and m ouldings. The effect is to produce a. shading th at goes from fairly deep tones to so light a tone th at it can hardly be noticed. Exam ination of articles of antique finish a t a furniture store will give the idea. If glaze cannot be had, it can be m ade by thinning varnish with one-fourth as m uch turpentine, and tinting w ith color-in-oil; the kind th at com es in t u b e s . D am p B asem ent Question: The basem ent of our two-year-old house feels dam p, al­ though there is no standing w ater in it. We have six-inch cem ent chan­ nels' under the rainw ater leaders, but no underground drains, as we w ere w arned that these m ight be­ com e stopped. Is the trouble in the foundation? Is the dam pness to blam e for the appearance of m any cobw ebs a t the windows? A nsw er: W hen rainw ater leaders discharge close to a house, the wa­ te r m ay w ork back to the founda­ tion w alls and m ake the cellar dam p. This is probably your trou­ ble. The discharge should b e ' at least 15 feet aw ay. To get rid of th e cobw ebs, pull them down as they appear w ith a vacuum cleaner, and spray the space w ith an insect liquid. W ork it into all cracks and joints in the woodwork and else­ w here, for it is there th a t spider eggs develop. Cupboard D raw er D ust Question: My cupboard draw ers deposit wood dust on the shelves underneath. We have put in m etal strips for the draw ers to ran on, but still find dust particles. A nsw er: T hat dust is w orn from the edges of the draw ers as they elide in and out. Rubbing all the w earing p arts with paraffine will end . the trouble, and will also m ake the draw ers slide m ore easily. Floor Board C racks Q uestion: In m y hundred year old house there are cracks betw een the boards of the pine floors. W hat fill­ er can I use that will stay in? A nsw er: First, nail the boards sol­ idly to the beam s; you can toenail them a t the edges. Then cut strips of pine to fit the cracks and nail them in with finishing nails. Patched Stucco Q uestion: Three sides of m y stuc­ co house are in good condition. C racks on the front side have been patched, and Ihe patches spoil the looks. Could I have this side shin­ gled over the stucco? Or m ust the stucco first be taken off? A nsw er: Shingles can be put on over the stucco through the use of hardened steel nails, which are on the m arket for just such a purpose. O rdinary nails would bend on being driven into stucco, but these hard nails will do the trick. If your house is detached, its appearance w ith th ree sides of stucco and the front shingled m ight be odd. The effect would be better if the defective stuc­ co is taken off and replaced. Cabin Ventilation Q uestion: How can the attic of a cabin be ventilated? A re ventilators m ade th at can be opened in sum ­ m er and closed in w inter? W hat ven­ tilating device can be put in the ceiling over the stove? A nsw er: L um ber yards and deal­ ers in building m aterial carry louvres m ade either of m etal or of wood to be put high up in the ends of the gables. These have shutters th at can be closed in w inter and a re m a d e . with insect screens. To carry off sm oke and vapors from a stove, build a hood over it, w ith a ventilating pipe passing through the ceiling to an outlet in the roof. The hood can be m ade of sheet m etal, plasterboard, or anything sim ilar. Fainting Cake Boxes , Q uestion: In redecorating kitchen sets, such a s cake and bread’ boxes, I do not seem to have the right oil, so th a t paint w ill take on the a p ­ pearance of enam el. C an you tell m e "w hat to use? A hsw er: F o r best results, you should sta rt w ith the thorough cleaning of the boxes with sand­ paper to take off old paint and for th e” slight roughening of the m etal surface. Then put o n one coat of enam el undercoater and a finish coat of enam el. These tw o should be of th e'sam e color, and fo rb e st results, m ade by the sam e m anufacturer. 'l CeUophane on W indows. Q uestion: I understand cellophane can be used on windows to keep out, drafts. Can you advise m e on this? A iisw er: W indows have been cov­ ered w ith cellophane which will keep out drafts, providing there is an open space of a t least two inches betw een the glass aiid the cello­ phane. It should be fastened on the inside of the window fram e (the full length of the window) with scotch tapje, This tape can be bought at m ost paint stores.

A BUST SABBATH IN CAPERNAUM LESSON TEXT-Mark 1:21-34.GOLDEN TEXT-I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day.—Revtiation 1:10.. - The Sabbath of the Jew and the Lord’s D ay (Sunday) of the Chris­ tian w ere both intended to be days of rest. The ordinary activities of life w ere to cease and one w as to be free to w orship and to rest. The m anner in which a m an uses this God-given day of rest is a rem ark­ ably accurate indicator of his spiri­ tual condition. We have before us the account of a very busy Sabbath day which our Lord spent in C apernaum , the city ih which m ost of His m ighty w orks w ere done, .but w hich ignored H im and H is teaching to its own destruc­ tion (see M att. 11:23, 24). As we look a t our Lord’s activity on th at day we learn w hat we m ay do with our Suildays to m ake them bear fruit ,fdr eternity. We find Him in three places. I. In the Church (vy. 21-5.8 ). The Sabbath day found our Lord with H is people in the synagogue, their place of worship. The serv­ ice of worship w as probably for­ m al and lacking in spiritual vital­ ity, but none-the-less H e w as there. W hat have we to say if we m iss th e: opportunity for fellowship and serv­ ice which church attendance brings us? O bserve th at bepause B e was- there H e (as a distinguished relig­ ious teacher) w as called upon to teach the people. H e taught them in the serene consciousness of H is divine authority, and th& people w ere delighted and astonished at His m essage. We m ay not serve exactly as He did, but if we pre­ sent ourselves in God’s house on H is day we will find the w ay opening for us to share in the worship. Jesus not only spoke, but He per­ form ed a m iracle. C ertain it is that we could not do w hat H e did, but we can be ready to give ourselves in service as well as in w orship, or in speaking. There is m uch work to be done in the church, and God’s people should be ready and will­ ing to do it. n . In the Home (w . .29-31).. ... From the synagogue C hrist went' into the. hom e. How appropriate! We too should go from the church to the hom e, alw ays bringing, with us the strength and blessing of the w orship'service. The daughter of a great preacher and Bible teacher said, the thing she m ost loved in her father w as that he did not give out the “ cream ” of his Christianity in his . m eetings and bring hom e the “ skim m ilk.” Too often we fail to bring into the home the pow er and beauty of the service in the church. We who have, been very sw eet and spiritual ‘in ' the church should not com e hom e to be sour and'crabbed. Jesus brought a blessing into P eter’s hom e, m iraculously healing his m other-in-law of a g reat fever, setting her free to serve. H ere again we ,cannot do. 'w hat He I did, but we can, in H is nam e, bring pow­ e r and blessing into our hom es. m . : In Fthe City (v^. 32-34).. From the hom e the m inistry of Jesus reached out to" the entire city. As the strict law s forbidding travel on the. Jew ish Sabbath were, set aside by the com ing of sundown, not only th£ city but the entite country­ side brought their sick and needy to Him . T he-scene staggers the im agina­ tion a s 'OlW attem pts to conceive of this com ing together of troubled hu­ m anity for the M aster’s " touch. M ark tells us th at He healed m any; M atthew , th at H e healed aU ,. and Luke, the physician, is., em phatic in saying th at He healed every one'of them . * " * ■ We m ay learn from this incident th at our C hristian faith, which has been developed and strengthened by our tim e of w orship and service in the church, should not only reflect itself in the hom e, but should reach out into the life of the com m unity in which we live. The prim ary in­ terest of the C hristian in his city or the place of his residence should be spiritual, a desire to bring to b ear upon the people of the com m u­ nity the pow er o f the -gospel. There is, however, a secondary responsibility which is of m uch im ­ portance and th at is the extending of C hristian , influence into every phase of school, social, political, and business life. It is’ said that' w hin D. L .'Moody cam e into a bar. ber shop the entire course of the conversation changed. The Chris­ tian should have an influence on problem s of social w elfare, the w6rk of the public schools, the proper con-. duct of business in the com m unity, and surely upon its political life. It is said that if every C hristian in A m erica would vote according to his professed convictions we could put the saloons out of business- in a single election. Why not do it?

The bewildered girl- arrives at the studio apartment shared with, her sister Sybil, ' feeling thankful that one of them still has a position, only to be told by her sister that the beauty salon, where she is employed, is closing up. Reading the want ads that evening, Joap decides to answer one catling'for a secretary, will* log to put in some night hours. Over the protests of Sybil, she goes to the address given, and.finds it to be a new night etui). The handsome proprietor, Kari Miller, engages her at onee at fifty dollars a week “considering the un­ usual hours.** Kow continue with the story. CHAPTER H •‘Just a minute, Miss Leland. TIl give you two weeks’ salary in ad­vance.”Joan colored. Did Mr. Miller think she needed money? “It won’t be necessary.” He laughed. “You will find that I do business in my own way. It is quite customary for me to pay my employees in advance.”She felt embarrassed and rebuffed as he wrote out a check and handed it to her, but she said quietly, “Thank you very much, Mr. Miller.” He opened the door for her and their hands touched on the knob. Blue eyes gazed into green. He was very close to her. "I’ll expect you tomorrow, then.” She felt a personal significance in each of these unimportant words. "Good night, Mr. Miller!”“Good night, Miss Leland.” Again she noticed the soft, thick accent, the trick of speaking without mov­ ing the lips. He was still smiling as she closed the door. It was almost eleven when Joan arrived home.“You said you’d telephone,” Sybil reminded her. “What happened?” Without removing hat or coat Joan sank down before the fire. “I got the job all right, Syb. It’s a night club. A man named Karl Miller.” “You don’t seem very excited,” Sybil commented. 1 “He’s the most interesting man I’ve ever seen,” Joan said ^oftly. “What goes on?” Sybil exploded. “Have you lost your mind?” Joan rose and laughed shakily. “Sorry, Syb! Anyway, I have a job starting tomorrow and the salary is fifty dollars a week.” “Fifty dollars a week!” Sybil frowned. “There’s something wrong with this picture! That’s too good a salary for a job without a reference. I don’t like it, Joan. What’s this Karl MiHer like?” Joan yawned and went into the bedroom. “Take it easy, darling! No doubt he is all right. Come on to bed, Syb. Let’s not argue about it tonight.” Sybil opened the windows to the screaming wail of foghorns.“What are your hours?” “I don’t have to be there until Swo and I work until around paid- night.”“Joan, I’m not going to let you take that job! There’s something phoney about it.” Joan pulled the covers up over her chin. Her hair spiUed like liquid jet over Ihe white pillow case.“It wid be fun working at a night club. I’m ,lmost glad that Mr. Mul­ ford fired nAt.”Sybil wound the last golden curl on a bobby phi and tied a net over her hair. “You’re getting into something. I have a feeling.”“At least I won’t be bored. You know, Syb, I’ve always wanted to 'lave something exciting happen to me.”“Something like Karl Miller?” Sybil questioned, shrewdly. “Perhaps!”Sybil snapped off the light. "‘Don’t be foolish, Joan! You couldn’t possi­bly be in love with a man you’ve met only once.”Joan smiled in the darkness. “Why not?”“Because that isn’t love! If you’d ever really been in love, you’d know the difference.”“Maybe I already know the dif­ference,” Joan thought, remember* tag a pair of shrewd blue eyes. “Infatuation and love are two dif­ferent things,” Sybil’s voice cut through the darkness.But Joan was hearing another voice, a voice that put intimacy into the most commonplace words as it said, ‘TH expect you tomorrow.” But Sybil lay awake, shivering, in spite of the warm covers, wonder­ing, almost afraid of a tomorrow that might be fraught with sinister significance, a significance she felt and mistrusted.• • * Joan’s first day as Karl Miller’s secretary was uneventful. The Club Elite was in the hands of painters and decorators who made so much loise and confusion that it penetrat­ed even to the inner office. From two to five Joan worked harder than ever before in her life. Karl was particular. He watched every move she made. He scrutinized each let­ter she typed with, a quick sweep of his blue eyes. His very presence made Joan nervous.“I want you to ‘memorize every name in this book-,” he told her, in­dicating a small, leather volume. ‘ I speak to no one, in person, or over the telephone, unless the name is here. You understand?” , Vl “You’re working for the boss,” that we’re through early.” He took a red carnation from the vase on the desk, broke the stem and inserted the. ,flower in his but­tonhole. But his eyes did not miss the flicker of expression ,that crossed Joan’s face when she opened the book and came to the name' of Ar­ thur Mulford.“I told you I have been in the importing business. I knew your former boss.” “Yes, Mr. Miller.” Joan was too good a secretary to question his word. She turned back to her type­ writer. It was almost six o’clock be­fore Karl said, “All right, Joan, you may go now. You don’t have to be back until eight-thirty.” The unexpected use of her first name sent a thrill of anticipation through the girl. She paused a mo­ ment before she opened the door, hoping that he would say something else, but Karl turned and began talking over the telephone. “I must be crazy,” Joan told her­ self as she hurried down the long corridor. “He hasn’t any more in­terest in me Ihan if I were part of the furniture/’ She had dinner at a small restau­rant, sipping hot coffee gratefully. She remembered with a wry smile that Sybil was worried about her salary. She could understand now why Karl thought the job was worth fifty dollars a week! She was as tired already as if she had put in a full day. She lingered over her dessert and walked slowly back to work, paus­ ing on the way to look in the shop windows. But she could not fill up two hours and a half and it was only a few minutes before eight when she pushed open the door of the Club Elite. An orchestra was rehearsing in the dimly lit salon. Karl MHler sat on one of the gilt chairs listening. His keen eyes spotted Joan instant­ ly-“Sit down,” he directed. “What do you think of the band?” “It sounds grand.” She felt the old sensation of self-consciousness. What was this peculiar excitement tiiat seized her whenever he smiled at her?“Is anything wrong, Joan?” He was so sure of himself, so smooth. It made ber feel like a schoolgirL She felt positive that he knew the emotions that were rac-. ing through her heart. Positive that he knew the attraction he had for her. “Nothing! Why should there be?” :He laughed then, throwing back his head. But the laughter made her angry.“I’d better get back to work,” she said. “There’s a lot to do.”; He caught her hand as she rose. “How would you like to go dancing with me Friday night?” His proposal took her by complete surprise. “Why, Mr. Miller, I’d love to.”He released her hand. “I would prefer that you call me Karl.”“All right, Karl. But what about working Friday night?”“You’re working for the boss,” he reminded her, smiling. ‘Til see that we’re through early.” Joan did not tell Sybil about her date until the time came. Her sis­ ter did not approve. . “Going out with the boss never works,” Sybil insisted stubbornly. “Honestly, Joan, I don’t know what’s come over you. You’re not using your head at: aU. There’s something funny about this whole business—and this roan!” “Let’s not go over it again,” Joan said happily. “When you see Karl Miller you’ll understand why I’m so crazy about him.”Sybil sat down on the bed and watched her sister apply make-up. “If he’s opening the club tomorrow, why is he running around tonight? Why isn’t he in the office taking care of things?”“That’s his business, isn’t it? Look, Syb, will you light the fire in the living room? I want every­ thing to look nice.”“Nice and cozy!” sniffed Sybil. “Okay. But don't think I’m going to be the retiring sister and stay in the bedroom. I’m going to' be right there to meet him.” Jo an slipped into the new black velvet dinner dress she had pur­ chased before she knew Karl Mij- ler. She had been saving it for an he reminded ber, smiling, “I’ll see occasion like this. The square neck was provocatively cut, the sleeves long and tight. She had drawn her smooth black hair over her ears, and coiled it in a low knot at the nape of her white neck.“Look, Syb,” Joan begged, “May I use a littie of your perfume?” Sybil thrust the.bottle" at her un­ graciously: “That dress makes you look ten years older, Joan.” Joan was not to be ruffled. “After all, darling, you can’t expect me to run around in pink tulle all my life. And Karl must be all of. thirty- five,” she added thoughtfully. . ■ “All of forty,” snapped SybiL “You have no business running around with a man twice your age.” “Skip it! Please, Sybil!” Karl Miller put an end to the ar­gument by pressing his finger on the doorbeU. Joan flew to meet him. She was proud.of him. His charming manners. His impecca­ble evening clothes. His smooth, indifferent chatter as he talked pleasantly to Sybil while Joan got her wrap. But she knew from her sister’s cold good night that she was not favorably impressed. Karl knew it too. “I don’t think your sister likes me,” he said as he helped Joan into his car. “Per­haps she thinks I am too old for you.” His uncanny accuracy embar­ rassed Joan. “Sybil’s been married and divorced. She’s not very trust­ ing when it comes to men.” “And you, Joan?' Do you trust men?” . “Some men,” Joan replied, hop­ing that she sounded careless. They went to a night club. “I could use a few pointers,” Karl told her, “since I’m new to this kind of business.” A Hawaiian orchestra played un­ der soft rosy limits. Karl was a superb dancer, surprisingly light on his feet for such a heavily built man. “He’s like tempered steel,” Joan thought. “Everything about him. Voice,' expression, strength.” He held .her lightly but Joan felt that she could not have broken away from him had she tried.“I have news for you,” he said suddenly, “Your former employer, Mr. Mulford, has gone out of busi­ ness. No doubt that is why be lei you go.” “But that’s impossible,” J'oae cried in surprise. “When I called tire office three days ago, he had hired a new secretary. Why would he do that if he were closing the office?” Karl Miller did not smile. “Yov are quite a little detective.”. Joan laughed; “I’d like to be one. I’m afraid I’m 'an adventuresome soul in spite of the unexciting life I’ve led.’?“Perhaps your life will become more exciting as it goes on.” “I hope it does,” Joan said reck­lessly. “I am quite sure,” Karl Miller said :tonelessly, “that it will.”Wlkt was it about him that drew and held her interest? Hrs face, which showed her a thousand men in one? Varied moods, hardness, coldness, irritation and amusement! He was obviously a man' of the world, a world that Joan had never known.“Don’t think too much, Joan,” Kari advised her gently. “I have found that it seldom pays.” It was a strange evening, gay, yet restrained by the undercurrents that baffled and disturbed Joan. Afterward, looking back on this eve­ning, she could understand many tilings, but at the time being with Karl wps all that mattered. Feel­ing the touch of his arms as they dapced, looking into his eyes as he raised his glass, hearing his chain­ing. voice blending into the wail of, Hawaiian music, guitars, gentle bass, soft drums, tiie quartette from Honolulu that droned chants into their .ears.He paid her many complimentsr “I Uke your hair that way,” he re­ marked. “It makes you look quite foreign and much older.?'“My sister doesn’t' like it at all. She . has an idea that I’m still -a tittle girl.”'His eyes swept the figure in it* black velvet sheath: “Really?

FEBRUARY 4. 1942. Lights of NewYork by L.L. STEVENSON M etor: W hen the duke of W indsor m ade his' last visit to this country as prince of W ales several years ago, his guard w as J . L. N y e -com­ monly known as “Bill” Nye—of the U nited States secret service, who is now an executive with the G uaranty T rust com pany. At the large form al ball given for the prince by M rs. W hitelaw Reid, his royal highness asked Nye how he would know with which of the ladies he should dance. “Ju st watch m e,” replied Nye1 “if I dance with a guest, it will be all right for you to do so.” The prince followed the advice and everything went w ell.. But it seem s that the schem e leaked out and Nye then becam e the m ost pop­ ular person at the party. Incidentally, during the recent visit of the duke and duchess of W indsor, Nye w as absent from his bank duties. He w as again guard­ ing the duke. * * • D elay: New York m otorists who travel the M erritt highway, that m arvelous Connecticut roadw ay that starts a t the end of Hutchinson park­ way, have been puzzled by being stopped night and m orning by red flags while 40 or m ore cows saunter lazily across. Biigs B aer finally has com e through with an exidanation. It seem s that when the highw ay w as built, a farm er living along it re­ tained the right-of-way for his cows to cross tw ice a day. So, rath er than build an underpass, which would run into m oney, the state per­ m its him to hold up all traffic until hi* herd is safely over the high­ way. vIto s t m otorists, particularly those from New Vork, who use the M erritt highway, a re in a hurry. As everyone knows, cows never are. So there is m uch fretting and fum ­ ing on the p art of the drivers, all the m ore so because they pay a dim e to use the highway.• * * Far W est: A t the rodeo in M adi­ son Square G ardent A trim , blonde young wom an, in a w hite cowboy outfit and w earing a w hite 10 -gallon h a t sa t on the chute and cheered the riders, all of whom she knew well.

Some day after their wedding, they intend to settle down on a M ontana ranch. » * * Tboaghtful: Som e tim e ago, H ar­ old Ross, editor of the New Y orker, w as entertaining Joe Cook a t his country hom e a t Stam ford. In the course of a discussion, a question cam e up which could be settled only by consulting the Bible. Unfortu­ nately, the Ross household did not possess a copy of the Scriptures. Cook prom ised to take care of the deficiency. A pparently he did so by requesting all m em bers of the large cast cf the m usical show with which he w as appearing on the road, to send Ross a Bible. The comics, singers, show girls, chorus girls and others sent Bibles with the result that now in the Ross library, there is a whole shelf full of them . In fact be has so m any th at recently he m ade a present of one—a Bible, not a show girl—to one of this de­ partm ent's alert scouts. * • * H icks: Visitors needn't be royal to m ake New York stare. Any ce­ lebrity w ill do. The other night at “Candle in the W iqd,'' C harles Boy­ e r w as in the audience. N ot only did those sitting in the balcony rise to their feet and crowd forw ard to see him as he passed along the aisle, but occupants of the highest- priced pews stood so that they m ight give him a gander. And w hen the play w as over, crowds congested the sidew alk in front of the theater until shooed aw ay by cops.

Jones, deceased. B. C. BROCK, Atty. By M . CLIFFORD TOWNSEND (Director, OSce oI Agricultural Defense Relations.J Individual farm ers are not re­ quired to have priority ratings of any kind under the defense pro­ gram in order to purchase ordinary farm m achinery, equipm ent, repair parts, fertilizers, insecticides, nails, fencing,-roofing or sim ilar item s. P riority ratings on equipm ent and supplies such as these are issued b$* the Office of Production Man­ agem ent to m anufacturers, proces­ sors and w arehousem en in order to avoid having individuals obtain rat­ ings. So fa r as the individual farm er is concerned, he does not have to have a priority rating of any kind to buy his ordinary requirements. There m ay be things he may not be able to get, such as aluminum pressure cookers, but in cases like this the m anufacturer and not the individual farm er is the one af­ fected by the priority rating. On special classes of m achinery which a re used for purposes ether than farm ing, such as heavy duty elec­ tric m otors, a preference rating w ill be necessary. This can be applied for on w hat is known as a PD -I form obtainable from the Of­ fice of Production M anagem ent. A num ber of letters have been re­ ceived from farm ers saying their lo­ cal retailers had advised them it w as necessary to secure a “priority ratin g ” before m aking certain pur­ chases. Individual farm ers who are asked to secure ’‘priority ratings” before m aking purchases of ordinary equipm ent or supplies should advise the departm ent of agriculture im ­ m ediately of the nam e and address of the dealer and the product on which a priority rating w as re­ quested. T here’s no sense in put­ ting farm ers to any m ore trouble than necessary to get the things they need for food production and w e w ant a chance to explain to the retailers th at a “ priority rating” is not needed for purchase of prod­ ucts a t retail by individuals for or­ dinary farm or household use. Blood Transfusions Save Farm Animals Blood transfusions, which have saved the lives of thousands of hu­ m an beings, a re now also saving the lives of thousands of dogs, horses, and farm anim als—and are being m ore widely used in veter­ inary science every day. “ R ing,” a collie dog a t W aterloo, Iow a, for instance, has given blood to help save the lives of 20 other dogs in the last five years. He gives about a pint of blood for each transfusion and has suffered no ill effect from it, except for a strong craving for w ater for several days after each transfusion. Transfusions are also being used for the treatinent of navel ill in colts, w here it is said that im prove­ m ent is generally noted within 24 hours after injection of a pint of blood from the dam into tlie blood stream of the colt. In cases of calf scour, the blood from the dam is also used w ith excellent results. Som etim es veterinarians also use saline and dextrose solution as a supporting treatm ent. In cases of sw eet clover poison­ ing, blood from a herd of cattle which has not had access to clover is now being used to prevent fatali­ ties am ong clover-poisoned anim als. Although veterinary scientists are. unwilling to m ake definite claim s in the m atter, according to the A m er­ ican Foundation for A nim al H ealth, they also say th at blood from nor­ m al or pregnant anim als will some­ tim es overcom e certain types of sterility in cattle. The precautions necessary in. hu­ m an transfusions are also necessary in treating anim als. W ith anim als, as w ith hum an beings, the blood is seldom transfused directly from one body to another. It is usually draw n into a sterile container before be­ ing injected into the sicli anim al. It is interesting to ' note that as new discoveries a re m ade in m ed­ ical science, they are closely paral­ leled by sim ilar findings in veteri­ nary science. The A m erican vet­ erinary practitioner is far ahead of other countries in this respect, and his advance in scientific research is perhaps one of the -reasons why A m erican livestock is so m uch bet­ te r protected from the ravages of diseases and epizootics than the stock of other nations.

C.—An all-tim e zee- ord fertilizer consumption was estab­ lished when farm ers used 8,811,000 tons of commercial fertilizer on their land daring the past crop year, ac­ cording to the annual consumption re* port of The National Fertilizer Asso­ ciation. This is an increase of m ow than one-half millions tons over prior years. “Tonnage figures in themselves do not tell a complete story of plantfood consumption in this banner year, since there has been a significant increase in the amount of plantfood contained in a ton of fertilizer,” said Charles J. Brand, Executive Secretary ami Treasurer of the Association. “This year’s tonnage figure w as 16 per cent above 1920, but the amount of plant­ food contained and used was 64 per cent greater.” I t seems likely that another tonnage increase is in store for next year. Tag sale figures for the first six months of 1941 are 6 per cent over 1940.

T o p ic s PREVENT DISEASE : IN. DAIRY HERD Good Management, Feeding Will Reduce Losses. B y D r. G EO RG E TATLOR ('XxftosfOB DMirynwa, New Itrsty College Oi Agriculture, Rutgen University.) D airym en should thfriit m ore in term s of h erd health and disease prevention and less in term s of treatm en t and cures. The value of any dairy anim al is dependent prim arily upon its health. Prevention of disease is fa r less costly than disease treatm ent, and good feeding and m anagem ent practices can go a long w ay tow ard reducing annual losses in dairy herds due' to disease. H ie ration should supply the prop­ e r balance of protein, energy, m in­ erals, and vitam ins. W ater is also needed. Q uality roughage, including hay, pasture and grass silage, is the m ost essential item of dairy feed. It is a fair source of calcium and practically the sole source of vita­ m ins A and D in the dairy ration. C oncentrates w hich m ust be fed to satisfy higher levels of production tend to be toxic to a dairy anim al. This effect is largely overcom e by the feeding of quality hay w hen pas­ ture is not available. The long list of ailm ents in dairy cattle which can. tie' svoided by good feeding includes goiter," bleat- im paction and loss of appetite. M anagem ent ranks w ith feeding in im portance in checking disease. Becausie the spread of disease is m ore rap id in large herds, the size of the miliring unit should be lim ited to 50 cow s o r less. Separate quar­ ter* should also be provided for grow ing heifers and baby calves. Separate isolation and m aternity quarters a re also desirable. - Strict salutation is a m ost im ­ portant p a rt of m anagem ent. Regu­ la r system atic cleaning and disin­ fecting w ill aid m aterially in keep­ ing down the causative organism s associated w ith disease. D airy anim als should be allowed am ple, exercise under conditions w here they m ay benefit from fresh a ir and exposure to sunshine.

This newspaper, it will be recall ed, was the first North CaroVna newspaper to crv out against the government going in the liquor business, especially to the extent of having legal grog shops close by our military camps that our young men mav find it just as easy to at tend military affairs. A visit to Fayetteville, with Ft. Bragg dose by, will settle once and for all any doubt you may have on this school. Recently the North Carolina CLristian Advocate, of Greensboro, the weekly periodical of the North Carolina Methodism carried an editorial on ‘‘War Time Prohibition” and we like it.so well that we would like to pass it on to our readers who perhaps do not take that paper and so did not see it. It voices our sentiment in so many ways. The editorial is as follows: In the first world war we had war time prohibition to conserve grain and Ihe other elements that go into alcoholic liquors. We also set ourselves to restore the hurt that comes to the armed forces by the tree flow of liquor: Wby should we not have prohibition this time when the curse of alcohol is tnani fest about every army camp? Are he citizens certain to profit by, the liquor trade and the hoys to suffer the hurt and degredatioo that fol low the flow of liquor and its at­ tendant vice? Cumberland, New Hanover, Wake, Durham and other counties boast of the millions gath­ ered while no effort is made to clean up the situation in North CaroHna. In fact, the doctors tell of the trou­ ble they are having in dealing with veneral disease as liquor and pros­ titution continue to bold sway. The money derived from liquor stands in'the way of bettering pre­ sent conditions. A similar situa tion exists in the nation. This government forces the boys into the camps and into the firing line. Italsotaysheavytaxesupon tbe people, but it refuses to restrain or to prohibit tbe liquor trade in its devastating work. No one dares to throttle king alcohol even in this time of war. What can a people under the double curse of war and liquor hope for? Both of these mean devasta­ tion and death. From this war at present there is no escane, but we might lay violent hands upon li­ quor to save our boys and our land from its death dealing work. We gather up scraps of paper hairpins, old postage stamps and all .such in the name of patriotism, while millions upon millions of dol IarS worth of grain and .other food atnff go into liquor. Is it any won­ der that thoughtful and sensible people refnse'-to listen to many of the pleas for help in this hour? It is the old story ot "penny wise and pound foolish.'’ Once the govern­ ment lays a vigorous hand on Old John Barleycorn many of -the pres ent pleas for sacrifice will come with more force. War time prohibition just now would convince the Amer­ ican people that this Republic is in danger. This would be far more effective than the present efforts to bolster morale by catch slogans and false propaganda.”—Union Repub- lican. . ..

In a recent one be showed signs of getting fed up on tbe trike busi­ ness, When he said "defense cannot be hampered by the selfish obstruc. tion of a small but dangerous min. ority of labor:;'leaders who are a menace to the true cause of labor.” Labor leaders must be getting pret- ty raw when even FDR nofidCs it. It is said of Mark Twain, that tbe first time be looked upon tbe old ocean ih all of its billowy splendor, he exclaimed; ‘‘Boy, she’s a success.” If Mark were back here today and could look at the ocean .of: New Deal doings for the past nine years, we are of the opinion he wonljd feel impelled to remark: "Boy; she’s a failure.” And why not? Civilian employees of Federal State and local government have reached a new high of 4,168,000. persons on WPA, CCC, and NYA projects and 1.944 000 iii tbe Army and Navy. TMa <s New Deal times. But we'll bet you our paoteloons tbat you .don’t see these figures pre­ sented in any New Deal paper. Every man■; of patriotism and common sense must know that in importance and UrRency our de­ fense program fis tbe nation’s first job, but it is worse than foil/ to take the position that nothing else has any importance at all. Some people seem tdjhold to tbe idea that because we are living under abnor­ mal conditions that any normal, thought or actiou is untimely and unpatriotic. -That’s a dangerous attitude. y Budget IVrector Smith predicts tbat I942’s ail-over spending will touch two billion a month. Other New -Dealers say it will run to three billion if places can be found to spend it Of course a way will oe found if the administration has to let a contract to move the Blue Ridge back to the Mississippi val­ ley and tear down the Rocky Moun­ tains. f Hasn’t things come to a pretty pass that a man is branded as a pro- Nazi for saying now what FDR and WiUkie were saying at the moment the ballots were counted on Nov ember 5, 1940, namely, that the in. terests of the American people de­ mand that .we should keep out of foreign ,,WSrg and promptly build an imprejiffibKjj defense?

It has come to pass that the infantary advances on robber tired wheels and the calvary is mounted on motorcycles. Air­ ships take off and land on rubber while all guns, equipment and foods are transported on rubber. While all of that is true the war caught the airmy robber so tbe supply bought for civilian purposes had to be taken over The fact that synthetic rob­ ber tbat is even.better than that from trees can be made is of little use at the present as we have no. plaats that can make it in anything/ but small quantities. , There is no escaping the hardahipSSjhat will be endured during the C^imning months The blowouts will sound like war when the tires get thin and the high­ ways hot, -Replacing inner tubes, will be a bjgger job than making the; casing last; Bnt cut of tbe shortage good will come. There will be fewer death8onthe highways The fast driving killers will soon wear but their tires and will have to get off the highways. There will also be a great saving in money.

He has w ritten probably as m uch on taxes, and w ith as full authority, as any m an in A m eri­ ca, but w e can’t find he ever said a good w ord Ior them . In his book, “Law of Federal In­ com e Taxation,” published in 1934, he said: “It (taxation) is an evil which is in direct propor­ tion to the ra te of taxation im ­ posed, and in these days of re­ sum ed high rates it is m ore im ­ portant than it has been for m any years.” . We had suspected as m uch, and ’just now it is apparent that M r. P aul hadn’t seen anything then. He is a New York law yer, with the firm of Lord, D ay and Lord, and for ithe last four years has been Sterling lec tu re r on taxation in the Yale university school of law , previously !having lectured a t H arvard. It is as special adviser to Secretary Mor- igenthau on taxation that he is now outlining the tax program . He w as appointed to the post of full-tim e ‘adviser on D ecem ber 12 of last year, after past part-tim e service in this capacity. He is believed to be w ary of any prescription by which an over-dose of taxation not only w eald fail as an antidote for in­ flation but m ight bring w orse evils. He is a native of H ackensack, N . J., educated a t A m herst college and the New York university law school. He becam e a director of the F ederal R eserve B ank of New Y ork last June. In his treasury ad­ visory capacity he is a dollar-a-year m an. T T ’S hard luck having a rubber shortage just when we need rub­ ber head lines.

His person has none of the re­ dundancy of his nam e. H e is trim , fit, energetic and h ard as nails. At 52, bine-eyed and bine- blooded, a cold, precise realist, trained in the world’s tonghest school of adm inistration,' he is an ascetic in his personal habits, an abstainer from liquor and to­ bacco—all this in refutation of the com m on stereotype of the fat bnrgher sm oking a m eer­ schaum pipe. The governor general of the Dutch E ast Indies has virtually absolute 'pow ers. B ut five years is the lim it i in which this dictatorial m andate m ay be exercised, and the crown, w ary about dictators, m ay recall the governor general for inefficiency o r m alfeasance. T hat’s how the can­ ny Dutch get efficiency in their co­ lo n ial em pire, w ith a check-rein and , a m artingale on it. The governor’s term w as np last D ecem ber, but the Dutch saw this w ar com ing and con­ tinued him indefinitely in of-* fice. A t the sam e tim e, they au­ tom atically solved the problem of full centralization of w artim e authority, the integration of land and a ir forces and of industrial and m ilitary effort. Only on one other occasion, in the first World w ar, has the term of the gover­ nor general been thus extended. The governor, born in the N ether- Iand Indies, studied law, entered the diplom atic service, becam e gover­ nor of his native province., served :at six foreign capitals, including W ashington and becam e president ■ of the university from which he w as ,graduated.

Enclosing Cellar Stairs A FUtE hazard that is quite com- mon in residences is due to ihe cellar stairs being under the stairs to the second floor. In the event of a cellar, fire the draft up the cellar stairs would carry the flames to the under side of the stairs above, which in burning out, would leave the bed­room windows as the only escape for people trapped there. The best remedy, for this condition would be the moving of the cellar stairs to a distant comer of the cellar. Anoth­er remedy is the enclosing of the cellar stairs with fireproof or at least slow burning materials; asbestos board, two or three thicknesses of plasterboard, or something similar. In addition to this, there should be a fireproof or slow-burning door from the cellar, to. the enclosure. With this door left open, however, the en­ closure would be useless. For this reason it should have a spring or weight to keep it closed. With the stairs thus protected, a fire would be confined to the cellar for a long enaugh.time to organize an effective fight against it. Hot Water Belief Valve Question: I have just installed a stoker in my hot water house heat­ing boiler, to which is attached a 30- gallon tank for running hot water. With the constant heat of the stoker, is there any danger that the tank might explode?Answer: If your source of hot wa­ ter is a coil or a knuckle in the fire-, box of your boiler, explosion is a possibility, because of the possible formation of steam. If there is no check valve or meter in the cold water supply line, you will be fairly safe, because pressure developed in the tank will cause the water to back up into file main. With a check valve or meter you should put at relief valve on the tank to release the pressure before it becomes high enough to make trouble. This re­lief valve should be on the hot wa­ter outlet of the tank; not on the cold water inlet. Soiled Paint Question: Paint on our house is in good condition, but is darkened by smoke and soot. What can we use for cleaning it? Answer: Scrub with any mild soap. You .could also use a solution of one or -two tablespoons of tri­ sodium phosphate in a pail of wa­ter, for this chemical is destructive of grease. Begin washing at the bottom1 and go upward. If you be­gin at the top and work down, dirty water running over the dry paint will make streaks that cannot be taken out. Follow by thorough rins­ing with clear water. Floor Cleaning Question: Floors that were sand­ed and waxed are not marked, but black with dirt. How can they be cleaned before rewaxing?Answer: You can use liquid wax —not water wax—which will soften the wax on the floor and permit it, with the dirt, to be wiped up. It is probable that some of the dirt has gone into the wood, and washing with soap and water may be neces­sary. Wax does not give much pro­ tection-to wood, because dirt will go through. Thekarewoodshoiddhave a coating of shellac, varnish or sea? before1 waxing. Fnmigation Question: In trying to rid my bed­ room of bedbugs, fumigation with hydrocyanic gas was recommended. I have a formula, but do not know how to use it or where to get the ingredients. Will you inform me?Answer: Do not under any circum­ stances attempt to use hydrocyanic gas, because of its deadliness. To breathe it would be fatal. In cities its use is permitted only by licensed fumigatprs. I am sending you a leaflet on the control of bedbugs that I am sure will be helpful, and which does not involve anything dan­ gerous. Refinisliing Copper Pots Question: The lining of our old copper pots has been worn through, and food that stands in them be­ comes contaminated. How can thr> pots be restored to usefulness? Answer: The usual lining of cop* per pots is tin. The process of lin­ ing is difficult, and an excellent sub­stitute would be to have the inside of the -pots plated with chromium. This job can be done by plating shops at no great expense. Any ga­ rage can give you the name and ad* dress of one in your neighborhood. • Paint for Bricks Question: Our house is rough red. brick. We would like to paint it white, but my husband- thinks that white paint would not last. What do you advise?Answer: You will get good results with cement paint, which is intend- - ed for masonry. It comes as a pow­der to be mixed with water. Boof Snow Guards; \ Question: During the last twowinters the snows sliding off the roof damaged the shrubs and trees near the house. What can be done?. Where' can snow guards be ob- tained? Answer: Snow guards made of heavy copper wire can be bought through;most shops handling roof-' ers’ supplies and materials. To pre­ vail: staining on white .house walls from copper drip, give the wire a thin coat of varnish, the kind that is applied with a cloth. Iavitatioii to Dinner—Tasty Onion Soup (See Recipes Below) Let’s Serve Soup Something hot, something to warm up the system and something to stir the appetite into action so it can enjoy the meal it­self—this is soup. Good companion to a dinner on cool nights or main dish for a luncheon, this is the reputation soup has acquired. So give a lift to your meals and get the appetites off to a brisk start. These savory soup recipes will help you: •Onion Soap. (Serves 4 to S) 2 slices bacon, cubed 4 sweet Spanish onions 2 tablespoons flour I quart milk Salt and pepper Stalebread Grated American cheese , Fry cubed bacon slowly over low heat, stirring constantly until fat is extracted. Lift out crisp bacon bits and set aside. Place thinly sliced onions in pan with some of bacon fat and saute until dear and ten­ der. Sprinkle flour over onions, blend, add milk and crisp bacon. Stir constantly over direct heat or cook in double boiler until soup thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in soup plates with croutons made by toasting stale bread, in oven. Sprinkle grated cheese over bread just before serv­ing. Flavor's the important thing in soup, and you’ll know just to what extent when you try: Split Pea Socp.(Serves 6 to 8) 1 cup dried split peas2 quarts cold water Ham bone with a .little meat on it % small onion Salt and pepper Soak peas overnight, drain and cover with the cold water. Heat to boiling point, add onion and hambone. Simmer 2 to 3 hours or until tender. Remove ham bone and sea­ son. Serve with crisp toast. If you’re having a rather heavy meal and are considering omitting the soup, don’t forego the pleas­ure of having a light, clear soup because it’s justthe thing for heartier meals. Here’s a soup that can be made in advance and heated just .before serving. Its excellent flavor is inspired by a careful com­ bination of seasonings.Oear TomaM Soup.(Serves 6 to 8) I quart brown soup stock I can tomatoes % teaspoon peppercorns1 small bayleaf 3 cloves 3 sprigs thyme 4 tablespoons butter 2 sprigs ’ parsley % cup each onion, carrot, celery % cup raw ham, diced Salt and pepper Cook onion, carrot, celery and ham in butter 5 minutes.

Here are some popular ideas: Thin slices of lemon, chopped parsley, thin slices of avocado, slightly salted whipped cream, toasted almonds. In the bread line you can really do a lot ot tricks, such as cutting the bread into fancy shapes with a cookie cutter, then toasting and sprinkling' on soup before serv­ ing. Rings (made with doughnut jcutter), animal shapes, hearts, stars and diamonds are popular.'

Man is more than a body. He is made up of body, soul, and spirit. In a physical world where he is so much in touch with physical na­ ture, and the needs of his body are so much before him, he is prone to forget that there is within a spir­itual nature which is his real self. . God is interested in both the physical and the spiritual side of man. He provides all that we need for our bodies, and above all, He meets the all-important spiritual hunger of man’s inner being. We find the Lord Jesus in our lesson graciously touching both spirit and body of the palsied man in response to the faith of his friends. I. Faith Brings a Double Need to Christ (w. 1 -4). This faitli-stimulating story faces us first with I. An impossible Situation. In­ curably afflicted and helpless phys­ically and far more deeply afflict­ ed spiritually, this man had no one who could heal, his body ajjd restore his soul. Apart from the power of God in Jesus Christ his situation was hopdess, and thus he may well typify every one of us except- for the grace of‘ Christ. Furthermore, his circumstances were such as to make it impossible for him to get to Jesus, who was there in his city. Even when his four friends came. to his hdp and bore him to the house where Jesus was, they could not enter because of the crowds. So a journey begun in hope was evidently, to close in de­ spair. But wait, these men had 2., An Vndeniable Faith. “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Where there is faith the obstacles may be surmounted. Having begun a good’ work they persevered in it. Had these men been., bound by convention or custom they- would never have put their friend at Jesus’ feet. They did try to make a proper entry through the door, but it was blocked. The way to Jesus is often closed, by some custom, ..a yain philosophy, or a religious ceremony. Let us, like : tHese believing men, open the roof if.-necessary^to bring our needs and' our-: ne&ly friends to Him.Although TO^Qtioiv is made only, of fiie palsy of t|jis in an, iris probable that both he and they knew that his need was for a double cure, for he was yet in his siris. They brought him to Jesus, where their - 0. Faith Receives a Double Re­ward From Chriit (yv. 5-11 ). Immediately Jesus “saw their faith” (v. 5), just as, He always does. , God is on the lookout for faith and is-quick to reward it. The two­ fold need here Brought a double blessing. \ . ' J. 1. Spiritual Cleansing. The man’s -physical affliction thus proved to be his greatest blessing, for it brought him to Jesus, who cleansed-him of all unrighteousness. If he. had not been palsied he might nevefc"have met the Lord. Suffering, then, may lie a means of grace. Thatismore than a pious platitude, for, it has been proved repeatedly in'the'exist- ience of men and women. Certain scribes “sitting there” (they were not doing a thing to help) began to reason in their hearts that Jesus was blaspheming be­ cause only God can forgive sin. Their theology was faultless 'SHd their reasoning Was logical, but the premise of their argumentwaswrong.. Only God can forgive sin, but Jesus is God, something which they in their wisdom did' not realize or ac­ cept. We (especially- young people in school) should be careful that the fluent smoothness of some unbeliev­ing philosopher’s logic does not lead, us astray, and away from God’s truth. Note also the solemnizing thought that Jesus, knew what they were thinking ini^ i t re­member that “aU things are naked and opened -urito the eyes of him with whom ,we.have to do” (Heb. 4:13 ). What does He see .when He' looks into our hearts? The challenge of these questioning scribes is met . by 2. Physical Healing. Forgiving sins Was harder than heeding the body, but these enemies of Jesus lived so much in the realm of the physical that He had to give them a demonstration: of His almighty power which they could see. It was a gracious'thing for Him "to do, and perhaps necessary in those early days of His life and ministry. Today, with all. the lieht- of his­tory upon the work of Goa, we need- to beware that we do not sit in the seat of the scornful and demand a physical sign before we will be­ lieve. God is doing great things in the spiritual realm even in our day, in which-.Christian men and women may share by faith. SE W IN G CIRCLE SEWING CUtfXE PATTERN DEFT.Room 1324 W 311 W.

MOCKSVILLE, N, C. FEBRUARY 11. 1942. THE DAVIE RECORD, C. FRANK STROUD ■ - Editor.' TELEPHONE Entered at the Poatofflce in Mocks- vllle, N. C., as Second-class HdI matter. March 3.1903 . [SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * I OOSIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ SO When you see a man setting his watch by the conrt house clock you may know be is a stranger here. So far as we have oeen able to learn, there is no sugar shortage in this town. The scarcest article in this section are hundred dollar bills. We haven’t met one this year. Some of the ,politicians seem to think Senator Bailey should be de feated this year. He hasn’t always agreed with the New Deal. Poli­ tics doesn't seem to be claiming the attention of the public this year. There are more serious things to think of at this time. No one knows jnst bow long it is going to take the Allies to lick the Axis powers. Some say one year, some five years, and one writer even says it will take ten years to put the enemy out of business. Here's hoping we can finish the job within the next twelve months. The quicker it is over the fewer men will have to suffer, bleed and die. The cost ot living continues to mount by leaps and bounds Even the modest black-eyed peas are now selling for u third more than they did onlv a few short weeks ago. Only the nabob can eat bacon and eggs these mornings. The price of bacon has advanced from 15^3 cents per pound to 35 c-nts Despite all this, let us take courage and thank the Lord that we are living in a free country. We can’t figure ont why this country needs anv CCC camps now. With plenty of jobs for the young men in mills and factories and on the farm, and with an army and navy of three to five million men wanted in the next year or two, it would seem like operating these camps wonld not be necessary. They were created to give jobs to the poor boys whose parents were in need, and who could not secure any kind of employment, or at least that is the idea we had.

Just how many New Dealers who are not at the Feder­ al pie counter, will be able to pay this big price tor one meal, we are unable to say. Thete will be few Davie men at these dinners, is our guess. It is ont of order for Republicans to' plan a campaign or make politi­ cal speeches during the emergency, but all right for New Dealers. Red-' Shirt Cam Morrison has alteady opened his campaign. Cameron I has announced that he wants to go ^Collect Much Tax. Holt Barneycastle, county tax collector, tells us that np to Jan 30th, he bad collected $71,069 69. of the 1941 taxes. This is about 71 per cent of the total amount of taxes due the county, which a mounts to about $100,000.

THE STORY SO PAR: Joan Leland, pretty Kcretary to Artlinr Mulford, San nanclsco Importer, is amazed and angry when he unexpectedly discharges her with two weeks’ salary and refoses any explanation. Xhe bewildered Elrl arrives at the apartment she shares with her sister Sybil, feeling thankfnl Oiat one of them stiO Ms a position, only to he told by her sister that the beauty salon where she' works, is closing op. Over the pro* tests of Sybil, Joan answers a secre­ tarial ad requiring some night work. The fascinating proprietor, KarI Hiller, en­ gage! her at once, at a salary of $50 per week and Insists upon paying her In ad- Vance, even though she lacks references. Sybil suspects something sinister and divines Joan’s quick Interest In Karl. Sbe pleads with her not to take the ]ob and the two quarrel. Joan accepts Karl’s dinner invitation. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER IU Joan felt Karl’s irritation towards Sybil. “My parents are both dead,” she explained. “Syb feels that she has to look after me.” But even Joan was annoyed to find Sybil waiting up for them later that night. I “It’s almost two o’clock,” Sybil •napped. “What’s the idea?” 1 Karl Miller looked amused as he stood hat In hand in the doorway. “In that case, I shall say good­ night without further delay.” When he had gone Joan turned furiously to her sister. “Why did you have to say that? Fm old enough to manage my own affairs.” There were deep circles of fatigue beneath Sybil’s blue eyes. Her voice seemed to echo like a warning through the old-fashioned, high-ceil- inged rooms. “You’ve got" to quit working for Karl Millerl You’ve got io quit tomorrow!” • * • 1 The sisters stared-at each other In the dimly lit room. Joan threw her head back defiantly as she cried, “You’ve made Karl angry! You had no right to do that.” Sybil smiled ruefully. “He looked more amused than angry. “It’s up to me to look after you, Joan. I feel responsible since mother and dad are gone. If anything happened, I’d never forgive myself.” “I know, Syb! And we mustn’t quarrel about it.”She yawned and started for the bedroom but Sybil caught her arm. "Then you will quit working for Karl Miller?”i “No. I will not. I’m twenty years old, Sybil, and I’m not going to let you or anyone else run my life.”The grandfather’s clock in the cor­ ner chimed.“Two-thirty,” Joan observed, evading Sybil’s worried glance. “We’d better get some sleep. Don’t you have to work in the morning?” “No. Today was my last day. From now on I’m one of the un­ employed.”“And you expect me to quit my job? Ob, no, Syb! I’m making a good salary and whether you think so or not, Karl is a gentleman.” “Maybe so,” Sybil said as she snapped off the lamp, “but I don’t trust him.” The next day Joan Leland arrived at the Club Elite promptly at two o’clock. Karl Miller’s office was filled with baskets of flowers. To­ night was opening night but Karl was unruffled'behind his desk, im­ peccably dressed in a gray suit, a red carnation in bis buttonhole. She was glad that she bad worn her best black dress. It was an ex­pensive sophisticated dress, the kind of dress Joan knew Karl would ap­ prove. Heavy silver earrings were her only ornament, and she had used a touch of mascara, a dash of dark red lipstick. Joan had the assur­ance of a woman who knew that she looked her best. Her green eyes sparkled as she closed the office door behind her.“Good afternoon,” she said de­ murely.Her employer was not the type to evade issues. “I’ve been thinking about your sister, Joan. Tell me something about her.”Joan removed her hat and coat and smoothed her black hair before she replied, “Sybil’s a little low right now. You see, she’s just lost her job. The beauty shop where she worked has been dosed.”Ka/. ^ughed. ftThen perhaps that was why she was in such a bad humor;" He s^id it with such apparent hon- eBty tnat Joan was not angry. She sat d*'wn at her own small desk be­side Karl’s and mechanically insert­ ed r sheet of paper in her typewrit­ er. -Kftrl suddenly leaned forward, “WTuld it please you if I could help your sister?” v.The girl’s' lovely face lifted inno­cently to his. “Oh Karl, could you?” “I think so. A friend of mine, a M1-*. Murdock, owns the. Ritz Beau­ty Salon. If I ask her," I feel sure sh* will be able to use another ex­ perienced girl.” ✓Joan’s eyes were shining. “The Ritz Beauty Salon! Oh, Karl, that’s wonderful!” It was one of the best shops in town. - Sybil would be thrilled. 1"Of course,” Karl continued, 44Jtiur sister may not want- any as­sistance from me since she so ob­ viously dislikes me.”“I’m sure Sybil will, appreciate it very much,” Joan assured him. “It was sweet of you to think of her, Karl."But-with a swift change of atti­tude Karl bad -ground out his ciga­rette and when he turned again- to “AU right! From now on I’m not saying another word. You can do Jnst aj yon like, Joan.” Joan his eyes were void of any emo­tion. uGet that orchestra leader on the telephone,” he said. “I have some instructions to give him.”“Yes, Mr. Miller!:” and as Joan dialed the number, she found her­self more than ever intrigued by this man who had offered to help her sister. This strange enigma that was Karl Miller. At six o’clock Joan decided to go home for dinner. Izi two hours she could easily make it and she was eager to tell Sybil of her good for­tune. Her sister looked up in surprise as Joan burst into the living room. “What on earth are you doing home? You didn’t by any chance quit?" “Don’t be silly!” Joan cried, throwing her hat on, the table. “I have wonderful news for you. Karl can get you a job at the Ritz Beauty Salon.”Sybil was genuinely surprised. “The Ritz? That smart new shop on Post street?” “Nothing less! Isn’t it wonderful? Karl knows the owner. He’s going to call her and fix it up for you.” “But it’s one of the best shops in town,” Sybil said unbelievingly. “Of course! Wasn’t it nice of him? Honestly, Sybil, how can you dis­like a man who is so kind? Imagine his thinking about a job for you to­ day, of all days, when he’s so busy with the club opening!” Sybil-was standing, by the win­ dow. “Doesn’t look like a very good night tor it. It’s, going to rain.” “Is that all you can say!” Joan cried indignantly. “Karl said may­ be, since you didn’t like him, you wouldn’t want his help. But I thought you would.” Sybil turned,“ You’re right,-Joan!I do need the job. You may tell Mr. Miller that I appreciate it very much.”Joan did not notice the coldness of her sister’s reply. She was hap­ pily unconscious of the expression on Sybil’s face.“How about dinner? I’m starved. I have to be back at the club by eight.”.Sybil broiled the chops while Joan made a salad.“I see you’re wearing your good black dress to work. What’s the idea?”“Why not?” Joan retorted. “I’m making fifty dollars a week now and I have to look my best.”“You didn’t seem to think it nec­ essary when you worked for Mr. Mulford.”Joan put the salad bowl on the table and set places for two. “You know how I feel about Karl, Syb!” she said in a low voice. “Why make it hard for me?” “All right! From now on I’m not saying another ward. You can do just as you like, Joan. Maybe it’s none of my business, after all.” Joan put an affectionate arm about 'her sister. “Don’t feel that way, darling. But give me a little credit for knowing what Fm. doing. I’m not a child, you know.” Sybil smiled as she turned back to the stove but she said no more.-As Sybil had predicted, it was raining'when Joan reached the club' biit the weather had not seemed to affect business. Already : the first guests were arriving. The bar was crowded. Gay laughter1, .conversa­ tion, tinkling glasses made an ex­ citing combination of sounds which spelled success for the future. Joan felt a little thrill of pride as she passed on down the corridor .to the office.She settled herself at her-desk and began to type. Karl Was not there. Her mind wandered as she worked. Only a week ago she was working for- Arthur Mulford. - Now everything was different. Life , had turned a'fresh page, which Joan felt sure would be filled with adventure. It must have been fate that she an­swered Karl Miller’s advertisement. Fate that Mr. Mulford had gone out of business and bean forced to fire her.She was thinking so intently that when be opened the door she felt the color rush into her cheeks. And she knew that bis keen eyes had observed, her embarrassment.Karl seemed pleased. “Every­ thing’s going fine. Couldn’t be bet­ter. .By the .way,-I spoke to Mrs. Murdock. Tell your sister she can start work Monday morning.” “Oh thank you!” Joan cried. “It’s so kind of you, Karl!” He rose, came around the desk. “Has it made you happy. Joan?” “Of course,” her eyes faltered be­ neath the steel-blue eyes. Karl Miller laughed softly as he drew her into IUs powerful arms. Sybil’s warnings rang in her ears but the pounding of her heart over­ came them as her lips blindly met his.• • * . There was strange magic in Karl Miller’s kiss. How long Karl held her in that embrace, Joan did not know. When he released her he put a hand beneath her chin and looked deeply into the green eyes that were filled with emotion. “Oh, Karl!” Joan cried softly, but before she could say more the office door opened and a man entered. His eyes caught the little scene and. he turned to go. “Sorry, Karl! See you later.” Joan turned back to her desk with flaming cheeks but .Karl Miller did not seem embarrassed. “It’s all right, Paul! Come on in. I don’t think you’ve met my new secretary. Miss Leland, this is Paul Sherman.” Joan was forced to look into a pair of brown eyes. Their owner was tall and lithe. He had a quick smile, brown curly hair. It was a good-looking face, with its straight nose and square jaw. “I’m very glad to meet you,” Paul Sherman said emphatically. Joan acknowledged the introduc­tion and turned quickly back to her typing. What would this man think of her? Karl had said, “My new sec­ retary,” which implied that they had not been acquainted long. Joan told herself that she didn’t care what Paul Sherman thought, .'yet — for some indefinable reason—she did. “Paul is my right-hand man,” Karl said, opening a panel in the wall which revealed a tiny but com­plete bar. “He manages the club. You’ll probably be seeing a lot of each other. Have a drink, Paul?” The other sat down and crossed his long legs. “A short one. I have to get out front again. Things look good, Karl. . . What do you think of Sie club, Miss Leland?”At the, unexpected question ad­ dressed to her, Joan started. “It’s very nice,” she replied, dark lashes sweeping over her embarrassed green eyes. She had an uncanny feeling that Paul Sherman was star­ing at her, conscious of her em­ barrassment. She was so confused that she. made three mistakes in one line. It was not easy for her to tun emotion off and on as Karl Miller did. . She marvelled at bis coolness as he sat on the edge of his denk and talked to Paul, i “By the ,way,” Paul was saying, his eyes still on Joan, “Eric wants to see you. He’s in the bar. Wants you to meet some people.”“I’ll go then. Coming, Paul?” Paul finished his drink. “I’m right with you, Karl.” Joan .was relieved when they had gone. She pushed back her chair and made no pretense of finishing the letter she had been typings It was thus that Paul Sherman found her when, he returned to the office a few seconds later.She started guiltily when he cams in. “Oh, it’s you again!” “You don’t seem too pleased to. see me," Paul observed, shutting the door carefully behind him. “Bi* as a matter of fact, I came b<ack m. purpose.”Joan stared at him in disapproval. “You mean that no one wanted to see Karl?”“Oh sure! That was legitimate, but when I saw a chance to slip away, I took it." His friendly smile made it difficult to be. offended^-; “Well,” Joan asked'flatly, ‘‘What do you ..want?” _ Paul laughed, displaying even white teeth. “To talk to you. You needn’t be so annoyed. After all, I am the manager of the .club.” ' Was there a hint of cynicism in his voice? “I’m sorry,” Joan said, trying to-smile. “I guess I’m nol used to this type of work yet" ''!"That’s what I am getting at,” Paul said seriously. “How‘did yov happen to come to work tor Kar'. Miller anyway?” I '(TO BK CONTINUED) How to Do Newest Dance Steps VO begin Diagram Explains Tango Steps. XXTAIT! A tango’s not a hundred VV yard dash!

Bugs B aer finally has com e through with an explanation. It seem s that when the highway w as built, a farm er living along it re­ tained the right-of-way for his cows to cross tw ice a day. So, rather than build an underpass, which wou]d run into m oney, the state p er­ m its him to hold up all traffic until his herd is safely over the high­ w ay. M ost m otorists, particularly those from New York, who use the M erritt highway, are in a hurry. As everyone knows, cows never are. So there is m uch fretting and fum ­ ing on the p a rt of the drivers, all the m ore so because they pay a dim e to use the highway. • * *, F a r W est: At the r*deo in M adi­ son Square G arden, a trim , blonde young w om a?, in a / w hite cowboy outfit and w earing a w hite 10 -gallon h a t sa t on the chute and cheered the riders, all of whom she knew m il.

Raise Air Force To 400,000Men United States Army Steps Up Training to Reach Goal by June 30. WASHINGTON.—Increasing its 54 com bat groups to 84, the arm y air force is to be expanded by June 30 to 400,000 m en, with a subsequent expansion to 500,000 in view. This statem ent by the w ar depart­ m ent contrasted the new objective with the June 30, 1940, air force per­ sonnel, com prising only 45,914 en­ listed m en, 3,322 regular and re­ serve officers and 1,894 flying ca­ dets, a total of 51,130. Secretary Stimson explained that the aim was to m eet “growing re­ quirem ents for adequate defense of the United States and areas within the W estern hem isphere vital to that defense.” Some of the groups provided by the new air training program would be assigned to overseas service in the W estern hem isphere, the depart­ m ent said, but the bulk of them would be allocated to the air force com bat com m and. Trainer Planes in Plenty. This com m and includes bom bard­ m ent, pursuit and reconnaisance groups, and each group is composed of two or m ore squadrons, depend­ ing on type of equipm ent and tacti­ cal tasks. M r. Stimson said he did not know just how m any m ore planes would be required for the enlarged pro­ gram , but said it could be safely assum ed that trainer planes w ere com ing along fast enough to insure that it would be fully under w ay by June 30. Completion of - the program , in­ volving the provision of the neces­ sary planes, m ateriel, personnel, bases and equipm ent presented “ a problem w orthy of the utm ost effort, efficiency and co-ordination on the p a rt of the arm y, the arm y air forces, the aviation industry and the A m erican people,” the departm ent stated. The expansion will be carried out within the fram ew ork of. the pres­ ent arm y air force, now in process of detailed organization by M aj. Gen. H enry H. Arnold, chief of this branch. It calls for the training of 30,000 pilots and 100,000 technicians a year. C se M any Schools. The expanded program , the de­ partm ent stated, would m ake the arm y air force one of the world’s largest universities for applied sci­ ence;‘w ith a total of m ore than 100 flying and technical training schools in operation. The training course envisages the use of 41 civilian schools giving 10 weeks of elem entary training, 15 m ilitary and. three civilian schools giving basic training, three flexible gunnery m ilitary schools, one civil navigation school, three replacem ent training centers for pilots, bom bar­ diers and navigators, and three nav­ igator and six bom bardier schools. Technical training of enlisted spe­ cialists will be conducted at 19 oth­ er schools and three replacem ent training. centers. Secretary Stimson also announced a three-fold expansion of the offi­ cers’ training course at F o rt Ben- ning in rifle and m achine gun use, and new developm ents in a second program to train over 350,000 civil­ ian employees in arm y-operated de­ fense plants. Average Farm in Texas Increases Ito 329 Acres AUSTIN, TE X A S--T he average size of a farm in Texas-is-329 acres, C harles E. B aughm an, chief clerk of the state departm ent of agricul­ ture, has computed. The num ber of farm s has de­ creased in a five-year period and in the sam e tim e the average farm size has increased about 55 acres. B aughm an’s review of the agri­ cultural situation shows the de­ thronem ent of King Cotton. In a five-year period, cotion acreage de­ creased 1,909,664 acres. Peak of cotton cultivation w as 17,700,000 acres in 1926 and the acreage in cotton in 1941 is 8,500,000 acres. Cotton farm ing has declined m ore swiftly than other farm ing, Baugh­ m an said in a discussion of the sta­ tistics. While the decrease in the total num ber of farm s (1934-1939) w as 83,015, in the sam e period the num ber of cotton farm s decreased 91,429. “Two-thirds of the farm ers em ­ ploy the use of only one-third of the land,” B aughm an said, “ while one-third of the farm ers employ the use of tw o-thirds of the landi Around 428,000 people, whose fam ­ ily heads w ere form erly employed in the production of cotton, have turned to other work, while some 400,000 pepple have left the farm s altogether.” All They Have to Do Now Is to-Locate Him FO RT BLISS, TEXAS.—Cosmopol­ itan are the residential claim s of a F o rt Bli?s soldier who clipped a “ coupon- for ,Cupid Club” coupon from the pages of the F ort Bliss C avalcade and returned it to the editor.

N aval architects w ere letting the m odel of the 35,000-ton vessel slide down the w ays into the basin as long as tw o years ago, and from these launchtogs engineers have collected data which tell them ex­ actly w hat to expect when the sister ship of the M assachusetts and the South D akota actually hits the river. The m odel tests showed, for ex­ am ple, Uiat a possible w ave-eight feet Mgh m ight be set up by the battleship,, but th at the height of the w ave in Uie confined w aters of the Elizabeth river probably would not exceed five feet.

By Dr. GEORGE TAYLOR (EMtatsfon DtirymMBt New Jeraty CeVegt Oi Agrieoltmtt RutgerM University.) D airym en should think m ore in term s of herd healih and disease prevention and less in term s of treatm ent and cures. The value of any dairy anim al is ,dependent prim arily upon its health. Prevention of disease is fa r less costly than disease treatm ent, and goo d feeding and m anagem ent practices can go a long w ay tow ard reducing annual losses in dairy herds due to disease.. The ration should supply the prop­ e r balance of protein, energy, m in­ erals, and vitam ips. W ater is also needed. Q uality roughage, including hay, pasture and grass silage, is the m ost essential item of dairy feed. I t is a fair source of calcium and practically the sole source of vita* m ins A and D in the dairy ration. C oncentrates w hich m ust be fed to satisfy higher levels of production tend to be toxic to a dairy anim al. This effect Is largely overcom e by the feeding of quality hay w hen pas­ tu re is not available. The long list Ot ailm ents in dairy cattle which can be avoided by good feeding includes goiter, bloat, im paction and loss of appetite. M anagem ent ranks with feeding in im portance in checking disease. Because the spread of disease is -more rapid in -large herds, the size of file m ilking unit should be lim ited to 50 cow s o r less. Separate quar­ters should also be provided for growing heifers and baby calves. Separate isolation and m aternity quarters are also desirable. S trict sanitation is a m ost im ­ portant p a rt of m anagem ent. Regu­ la r system atic cleaning and disin­ fecting w ill aid m aterially in keep­ ing dow n the causative organism s associated w ith disease. D airy anim als should be allowed am ple exercise under conditions w here they m ay benefit from fresh , a ir and exposure to sunshine.

The Need of Revivals Rev. Walter E. Iaenbour. Hiddenite. N. C. Perhaps there are very few chur­ ches in America today but that need a real revival of old-time re­ ligion. It is a sad fact ' that the majority of bur churches have quit having revivals, hence our weak­ ness and deadness spiritually. When revivals cease, then evils ot various kinds, sin and wickedness increase. The devil takes all the ground the church loses, and he uses it against us. A man said to me the other day that Hitler is not to blame for the world war, as millions think he is. He made rather a startling statement when he said: “The church is to blame.” Fhe more J thought about his statement the more I concluded that he was right. The church to blame for war? You may wonder bow that can be. Well, le'&fee. We must all admit the Itli. even though it is hard to admit. We realize Uiat there has been a tremendous falling away of the church, both in attendance and in spirituality, and we have. lost millions out of our Sunday schools. This has happened in America and in the European countries. Many of our preachers and theological schools have gone modernistic. We have conformed to the world. We have ceased to emphasize, very Iar gely, the imoortat.ee of real soul- stirring revivals. The church, or tens of thousands of church mem bers, have become worldly. Many have been taken into the church wiibout repentance and vital salva. tion. It is a positive fact that we can’t tell the great majority of church members and professed Christians from the outside world. Church members—multitudes of them—drink, dance, curse, swear, gamble, frolick, commit adultry, go to the places of worldly and wick­ ed amusement, do and say just wbat tbe world does, and go band in hand with the world. Many of them commit crime. Jnst as well admit the truth. They vote wet, stand for anything and everything that offers them money, pleasure, lustful gratification, entertainment and a big time. Therefore the devil takes advantage of Mtthis andrais es up dictators and wicked rulers to bring war and destruction upon us. If the churches of earth had stayed spiritual, prayerful, godly, and bad kept themselves separated from tbe wbrld, and bad kept the revival fires burning upon their altars and in their homes across the years, it. would have been impossible for the wicked rulers end dictators to have arisen Certainly, 4 t would be a wonderful thing if every church to day would start a mighty revival of vital, old-time, “mourner’s bench,’’ Holy Ghost salvation. Nothing would stop war so soon. Old Gray Mare is Com­ ing Back Omaha—The Old Gray Maresbe ain’t what she used to be.

Students Wanted New Class-The Navy Department has created a new Naval Reserve class, so that high school and college stndents between tbe ages of 17 and 1 9 .inclusive may be enlisted and placed on'inactive doty until tbe completion of their current scholas- tic year—unless the military situa­ tion necessitates calling them to ac­ tive duty beforehand. Serve, Learn-Class V-I has been organized in the Naval Reserve to give young American a chance to serve their country and also obtain free training in any of 45 trades or vocations. The period of enrollment is for two, three or four years, but all hands will be required to serve only throughout the duration of the war. Extra.Training—Schools and col­ leges will be encouraged to give ex tra physical training and studies to young men who enlist in Class V-I during the next four months as re­ commended by the Bureau of Navi­ gation. The Commandants of all Naval Districts have been directed not to call any of these men to ac­ tive duty until orders have been .is­ sued by tbe Bureau of Navigation. Free Trade Schools—Young men will be elisted, allowed to complete their current year’s school education if possible and then give a chance at Navy trade schools—acknowledged to be among the beat in the world— where they can receive $1,500 free instruction and training to qualify them for such valuable vocations as aviation machinist, radioman, photo­ grapher, clerical worker, electrician, carpenter, molder, machinist, aero- grapher. hospital corpsman, diver, boilermaker, or pattermaker.

Washington—Republicans in Con­ gress today saw an affirmative an­ swer in the returns, from the elec­ tion of a new congressman from the Fifth Connecticut district to the plea of Minority Leader, and National Chairman Martin for a two-party system. Thrice Mr. Martin made this plea, have the votes of a Congressional district spoken, and have each time sent a Republican to Congress from districts long since regarded safely in the Democratic column. Congressional elections are now a year in the offing, and the opinion of many. Reactiontothe Truman and Ro berts committee’s reports on conduct of the defense programs indicate stongly that conduct of tbe war and defense spending will be the chief is­ sues of the 1942 campaign. While Republicans are now quies­ cent, they are expected to make use of current developments, as the war proceeds. As an indication of what the De mocrats may expect. Republican leaders today pointed out that two Congressional elections have been held to fill vacancies in the House since Pearl Harbor. The Republi­ cans have won in both cases. The first instance was in the Fourth dis­ trict of Colorado—a district that baa been held for,34 years by the late Representative Edward T. Taylor, a Democrat The second wasi. in tbe Fifth Connecticutt district. Last April the Republicans won in the 42d New York district, si Buffalo dis­ trict, the district which Senator Jim” Mead represented before be was translated to the Upper House. Here, too, tbe G. 0 .

The old-time cycles who took Nellie out on that bicycle built for two may again see that proud ve. hide in use as of course the bicycle has suddenly come in for its share of new acclaim the country over. (To the youngBters th e compensating factor mav be the easing np on tbe pocketbook—gas. etc., or may “Pop” will appreciate the reduction in ex penae). And the bad thing about this de­ mand is, as far as the American pub­ lic is concerned, the few wagon and buggy manufacturers left in tbe na­ tion today—and there are a few can’t deliver the number of horse and.mule-drawn vehicles demanded of them suddenly because, they just can’t get enough material to make the vehicles. AU this was explained here today by H. S. Leonard, owner of the Pied­ mont Wagon company, one of the oldest wagon firms in the United StateB, whose wagons are known the country oyer. “We just can’t meet the demand” said Mr Leonard, explaining that tbe sudden increase for farm wa­ gons, delivery wagons, for hauling of such things ss milk, ice, and the like, had caught him unprepared—and he doubted if any other wagon firm were ready either —although his company has’ been making wagons continou’sly since 1868 . Of course the OPM has some­ thing to do with it. issuing orders that such firms as Piedmont can make only 98 per cent of their 1940 production of wagons, during the coming year. The production of these vehicles is been very ow in normal years, and all these have been simply farm wagons with an occasional boggy or sulky, built for Bome person for show purposes. The demand for such vehicles as buggies and delivery wagons went out almost entirely sometime ar und tbe early “20’s”, Mr. Leonard indicated. Maybe now the poor downtrodden delivery boys will get a respite from the daily fear of tbe ’boss’ ranting a- bout that fender that was bent by “some” lady driver, a couple of weeks ago, (apologies to you few la­ dies who can drive) and the school boy from Dad’s lecture. — Hickory Record. .

The scene is Interrupted by the entrance of Paul Sherman, KarltS man­ ager. The two men leave, but Paul re­turns quickly to talk with Joan. He soon surprises the girl by asking her to tell him how she got the Job. Now continue with the story. CH APTER IV Joan’s surprise showed in h er voice as she replied, “W hat do you m ean?” “Ju st w hat I said. Who suggested it to you?” “I lost m y job last w eek,” Joan told him , w ondering w hy she w as doing so. A fter all it really w asn’t any of P aul Sherm an’s business w hy she w as here. “ T hat sam e iiight I saw a w ant ad for this one. I cam e down to apply and K arl, M r. M iller, hired m e.” "Y ou didn’t know K arl M iller be­ fore th at?” “I don’t see w hat it is to you,” Joan flared resentfully. “ Don’t bite m y head off,” P au l said pleasantly. “I ju st w ondered, th at’s all. I would like to be your friend, M iss Leland. Y ou m ay need one.” “I’m doing all right!” Joan said, irritated. “Okay. B ut ju st one m ore ques­ tion. H ave you m et K arl’s partner, E ric Strom ?”; Joan answ ered him reluctantly. “E ric Strom ? No, I haven’t m et him . W hy?” “I’m the ong asking -the ques- ,tions,” P aul retorted, and Jcan felt th a t he w as laughing a t h er as he rose and w ent to the door. “I have w ork to do, M r. Sher­ m an,” she said crossly. “Call m e P aul. B y the w ay, how about having dinner w ith m e som e night?” Joan w as surprised a t the audacity . of this request. “I expect to be v e~ y busy,” she said coldly. “N evertheless,” P au l Sherm an re­ torted, “I shall m eet you on M onday night a t six o’clock.” H e m entioned the grill of a well-known hotel. “I have no intentions of being there.” “B y M onday you m ay change your m ind.” Joan sighed as the office door shut behind him . It seem ed that a t.e v ­ ery turn she m et a surprise. W iat would K arl say if he knew th at his m anager had tried to m ake a date With his secretary? The secretary w hom only a few m om ents ago K arl had held in his arm s. In a w ay she w as glad th a t P aul Sherm an had interrupted th at perfect m om ent. K arl would be angry and K arl’s w rath w as one thing that Joan would not risk. “K arl!” Joan thought, closing her eyes against the m em ory of his. handsom e, expressionless face, steadying herself against the flood of em otion that sw ept over her. “I shouldn’t have let him kiss m e,” Joan told herself. “ B ut I love him ! I love him , y et I’m afraid . . Even to herself Joan did not like to adm it th at the reason for her fear w as th at K arl M iller did not retu rn h er affection. True, he had taken h er out; he had even kissed her. B ut Joan doubted that any w om an could possess his entire heart. The situation intrigued h er; ■ a t the sam e tim e she w as frightened. ... Joan and Sybil spent a quiet Sun­ day. K arl had told Joan th at he would not be able to see her over the w eek-end and she found th at even one day w ithout him w as enough to m ake her unhappy. Sybil seem ed cheerful a t the pros­ pect of starting h er new job a t the Ritz B eauty Shop. “ W hat’s the m at­ ter w ith you?” she asked as Joan sa t staring into space. • “ We’ve both got a job. T here’s nothing to w orry about.” Joan suspected th at Sybil knew w hat w as w orrying her but she dis­ liked bringing up the subject of K arl M iller. Instead she told Sybil about P aul Sherm an and his proposal th at she have dinner w ith him . Sybil, lay on the couch, h er blonde h air in curlers. “H e sounds all right,” she com m ented. “ Why don’t you go?” “I don’t even know the m an,” Jo an protested. “I m et him .only last night.” ' Sybil raised an eyebrow as she contem plated her sister. “ You didn’t know K arl M iller either, buf you fell in love w ith him overnight. O r m aybe I should say you think you’re in love with him .” Joan curled up m the big chair and opened a m agazine which she pretended to read. “ Look, honey, w hy not confess? I know how you feel.” Joan lifted a confused, radiant face. “Oh, Syb, you’re right! I do love him . I’m *so in love with him th a t it frightens m e because I can’t believe th a t he really cares about V / “A woman with green eyes is very rare. Did yon know that?” m e. I’m so young and unsophisti­ cated.” “ And you’re going to stay th at w ay,” Sybil said sharply. “You don’t love K arl M iller, Joan! You w ant him because you know he’s out of your reach.” “Oh, it’s m ore than th at!” the youthftil voice w as full of pain. “E ven so, it can’t h urt anything for you to be nice to this other m an. He’s young and apparently he likes you. W hy don’t you have dinner w ith him ?” “I don’t w ant K arl to, be angry w ith m e,” Joan confessed. “Is it a s bad as th at?” Sybil asked quietly. Joan sighed, ‘T m sorry, Syb! But th a t’s the w ay it is. I can’t help it.” . „ Sybil w as silent and in the twi­ light they could h ear rain splashing against Uie windowpanes. W hen the telephone pealed through the room , Joan flew to answ er it. P erhaps it would be K arl! It w as. And a t the sound of his voice h er h eart sang. “ I find th a t I am going to be free this evening,” cam e his carefully m odulated voice. “W ould you like to have dinner w ith m e?” Would she like to? “Oh, dar­ ling!” h e r h e art cried. B ut she an­ sw ered dem urely. “I ’d love to.” Joan ra n into the bedroom to change h er dress but Sybil h a d jio t m issed the unconcealed joy in her face. Sybil’s blue eyes w ere full of w orry as she stared thoughtfully a fter h er sister. Jo an w as disappointed to find that K arl had invited another dinner guest. E ric Strom , w hom P aul had described as K arl’s partner, m et them a t the hotel. Sitting in front of the broad windows which over­ looked the sea, Joan’s spirits drooped. E ric Strom asked, VDo you find the rain so depressing, M iss Le­ land?” ‘It does seem gloomy,” Joan ad­ m itted. K arl sm iled a t her indulgently but the. two m en continued to talk' about business. Joan did not like Eric. F o r the sam e inexplicable reason that she trusted Paul, she did not tru st K arl’s partner. “M y intuition’s working over­ tim e,” Joan reflected, glancing at E ric. He w as a slight m an, blond, about K arl’s age. B ut he had none of K arl’s m agnetic pow er. T here w as som ething shifty about his pale eyes. H is m anner w as cautious, unpleas­ antly so. H e looked a g reat deal at Joan and his glance m ade her un­ com fortable. If K arl noticed this, he gave no sign. H e w as cheerful dur­ ing the m eal, which seem ed end­ less to his secretary.. The two m en, engrossed in their own conversa­ tion, left Joan free to speculate. Jo an looked a t K arl, whose eyes w ere as sphinxlike as the v ast ocean th at rolled outside the broad Win­ dows. A little thrill sw ept over her th a t this m an w as • here. But w as he? F o r one sm all m om ent the day before she had been in his arm s, but during the re st of the brief tim e she had known him he seem ed a thousand m iles aw ay. Joan’s reverie w as broken by the headw aiter who w as . speaking to K arl. “ You’re w anted on the tele­ phone, M r. M iller.” W hen he had gone, E ric Strom sm iled a t h er and leaned across the table. You a re very beautiful, M iss Le­ land. ' B ut I suppose K arl has told you th at.” H is accent w as m uch heavier than K arl’s, and. Joan found it difficult to understand. “ A wom­ an w ith green eyes is very rare. Did you know th at?” Joan forced a sm ile to her lips; I don’t believe we”ve m et before, have w e?” He shrugged. “I am K arl’s silent partner. H e doesn’t need m e to run the club. O thers can do that. By the w ay. M iss Leland, I would like to see you again som etim e. Ju st the two of us.” H er piquapt face w as w hite be­ neath the sophisticated veil. She w as afraid of this m an. “I’m afraid it is im possible,” she replied sharply. B ut E ric Strom w as not dis­ e a s e d . “H ave a cigarette. M iss .•eland? You m ay find th at som e­ tim e we have no choice in such m atters.” Jo an stared a t him uncertainly. W hat did he m ean by that? Did ev­ eryone a t the Club E lite talk in rid­ dles? F irst P aul’s inexplicable be­ havior, now E rie Strom ’s! W hat would K arl think if he knew that his partn er and his m anager had both tried to m ake a date w ith his secretary? P aul w as young. P e r­ haps high spirits had prom pted his im pudence. B ut E ric Strom w as an­ other m atter, and Joan decided to tell K arl about it the m om ent they w ere alone. She had no chance, how ever, for w hen K arl returned to the table he said briefly, “Som ething has com e up. We’ll have to go back to ‘the office.” The tw o m en exchanged glances, then looked a t Joan. “Do you m ind?” K arl inquired w ith his quick sm ile. “I’d like to get a couple ol letters out tonight. I know it isn’t in the bargain for you to work on Sunday.” She knew th at she w as pow erless to refuse him . She would gladly have typed endless letters in or­ der to be near him . K arl paid the check and the three of them left. As they drove back to N orth B each, sheets of rain beat upon the car. The Club E lite w as closed on Sundays and K arl un­ locked the door w ith his own key. Joan w as surprised to see a streak of light stream ing from the door of his private office. H urrying along the corridor, she reached it first and found herself face to face w ith P au l Sherm an. H e grinned a t her. “ A m anager never really has a day off.” K arl seem ed to find nothing strange in his presence a t the club. “ You don’t happen to have som e extra tim e, do you. M iss Leland? P au l inquired. “I could use som e help.” Before she could answ er, K arl Mil­ le r said quickly, “She has enough to do, Paul, and now if you don’t m ind . . H e left his sentence unfinished. “Surely.” P aul grinned and saun­ tered to the door. “See you tom or­ row ,” he called back but his eyes w ere on Joan and she knew th at he w as thinking of the dinner date he had proposed. She shook h er head as she looked a t him over h er typew riter but P aul ignored it. K arl rem oved his overcoat and sa t down a t his desk. E ric Strom m ixed him self a drink. “ Take a letter,” K arl said, read­ ing from a sheet of yellow paper, “to A. H. Gomez, M azatlan, M exico . . . D ear Sir: I am happy to report th at the situation you m entioned has been cleared up satisfactorily. The club will be open from eight to two and shows every sign of being suc­ cessful.” Joan looked a t him curiously. This did not sound like an im portant busi­ ness letter to her. C ertainly not so im portant th at it couldn’t w ait until m orning. Seeing her glance, K arl said, “ I’m afraid you’re too tired. I shouldn’t have asked you to w ork tonight.” “It’s all right,” she hastened to assure him , “I don’t m ind, really.” B ut K arl M iller had changed his m ind. “I will call a taxi and seng you’ hom e.’’ . “ B ut I’m n o t tired, K arl!” H e w as dialing a num ber and Joan knew it w as useless to argue w ith him . He w ent to the door of the club w ith her, pressing her hand as he said, “I’m sorry it had to turn out this w ay tonight. We’ll a r­ range som ething else soon . . Joan shivered in the dam p night air a s she w aited for the taxi. A sm all coupe stopped suddenly be­ fore her with scream ing brakes. In. voluntarily Joan stepped back; su> prised to see P aul Sherm an. “ W hat are you doing here alone?” he asked. "W aiting for1 a taxi,” Joan replied with dignity. “Well, jum p in, m y girl!” PauJ ordered cheerfully. H e got out and opened the door ol the car. “ You m ay as w ell let m e drive you hom e. You can ’t stand here in the rain, you know.” It did seem silly, Joan adm itted, clim bing in, but as P aul started the c ar she cried, “I left m v purse if' the office.” (TO B E COimNUBDJ Gems of Thought C O NEA R is falsehood to the ^ truth .that a w ise m an would do w ell not to tru st him self on the narrow edge.—Cicero.

We don’t think much of the bill Congress passed recentlv giving pension to all Congressmen who re. tire after serving five years. Seems that our law makers are in better shape today financially, than any other class of people. What this country needs today is not dancing masters to teach our children to dance, at high salaries paid bv the Government, but more arms and amnnition, war planes and submarines. You can’t win' a a war by dancing even if Neto did fiddle while Rome burned. , With a great war raging through­ out the world this is the time when sane, sober, honest and reliable men should be elected to office. The day of the scheming politician is coming to an end. Statesmen and not cheap ward heelers should be elected to the high offices. It is going to take the entire country — Democrats, Republicans, Prohibi­ tionists, Socialist, Labor and all other parties, to win this war. Good men should be nominated and elect­ ed this year.

My dear Sgti Boger: On Friday, February 6 ,1 inspec­ ted your mess hall and kitchen and found it to be outstanding—out. standing not only within your re­ giment but witbin the entire 43rd Infantry Division I Your floors and mess tables were bright and clea ; yonr supply room was neat and or­ derly arranged; your kitchen knives had been cleaned in every crevice; your stoves reflected good care! Item by item yonr kitchen and mess ball deserves the rating of SUPERIOR. It is vitally important that sold­ iers be ted good food and plenty of it Therefore the responsibility which is placed in the hands of mess sergeant and his assistants is great—and only good men should be entrusted with that responsibil­ ity. You and your staff have dem­ onstrated fully your good work that you deserve this trust, and it well placed in yonr hands. I would like to extend to yon and to the men who assist yon my congratulations for a job well done. I am sure that you will maintain your splendid work in this mess and in every other mess which th changing fortunes of military ser vice might place in your care in the future.

Miss Louise Stroud, Letter From Davie Soldier. Hello Mt. Stroud:—I thought I would write you a few lines to let you know I am still in the think­ ing of home. I certainly hope you and all my friends in Davie are en­ joying the best of-health and pros­ perity. I have been at Camp Blanding for 4 weeks now. I have been in the army a year now, and I am still in the same Company and Regi ment that I have been in. I have been on several different army posts and Fort Bennington, Georgia is the best place I have been. It seems more like North Carolina soil. There are six of us from Daviein the Regiment. I think we are lucky to get to stay together. I have been in the army long en ough now to become accustomed to the routine of army life. Every American boy should be proud to fight in order to preserve our Great United States, We are fighting for the future security and freedom of our relatives and loved ones. I certainly do enjoy The Davie Record each week. I usually read everything in it, and hope I can continue to get it as long as I am in the army. I will soon be 23 years old, and I guess I have been reading The Davie Record about 12 or 15 years. Well, it is hard’for me to think of much to say. I will close wish­ ing you and my other friends the best of luck. Your friend, KERMIT SMITH Co. F. 20th Engrs., A. P. O. 304, Camp Blanding, Florida. William S. Reid William S.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—W jv u Service.) "NJ EW YORK.—Something like Ho- ratius at the bridge, or the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke is the American Col. C. L. Chen- . . _. _ ., . naultandhisA ir Circus P ilot American pi- HasWiagsSpread lots, guard- Over Burma Road “ 8 the Bur­ma road and dropping the Japanese as fast as they come. Their score is more than 60 Japa­nese planes downed, including 24 bombers, with a possible score of around 100, taking into account the enemy planes hit but not downed on the spot. They’re doing all this with antiquated planes, and so far they’ve lost only IO of them. Six years ago, Colonel Chen- nanlt headed the army team of precision acrobats which spread v heart-failure among the crowds attending the Seventh Annual Army Air races at Miami. He and his mates, Lieut. J. H. Wil­ liams and Lient. William Mc­ Donald, put on probably the diz­ziest air show ever seen and at the same’time a demonstration of the amazing maneuverability of airplanes under highly expert control. The colonel, a lean, dark, quiet, wiry man, was 45 years old when 'the above' air show came off. He retired from the army and holed up in a neat little house at Waterproof, La. He had his books and his dog and he was going to enjoy life with his friends. However, he kept up his studies of air tactics and strate­gy, having written two authoritative text books on these subjects. In 1937 , he was approached by a representative of the Chi­ nese government who proposed that he become air adviser to the Chinese government. This led to his four years’ service in China in which he organized and commanded the present A.V.G., or American Volunteer group, which is now outfighting the Jap­anese along the Burma road. . When he was here in January, 1940, he said that the Chinese planes were liquid-cooled and at a great disadvantage against-any up-to-date machine. A quiet, reserved officer, with no dash of the swashbuckler in his make-up, he says that he and his boys can hold the road if they can just get a few more fairly fash­ionable planes. ♦---- T -vHE United States marine corps did not need the saga of Guam and Wake island as a reminder that it is an old established firm. The Gen-HolcombDeep y°2rs ’oleter In T radition o f than the U- S. Marine Corps P^sent Unit- / ed S tatesgovernment, and on November 10 of this year will celebrate its 167 th an­niversary. Its anchor, globe and eagle em­blem and its “Semper Fidelis” have been pretty nearly everywhere, and, historically speaking, it will be old stuff to the marines, wherever they land. Just now it has its highest ranking commandant in history, with the President’s elevation of Commandant Thomas Holcomb from the rank of major general to lieutenant general. General Holcomb, 42 years with the corps, is a quiet-spoken,, heavy- set, busiDess-like officer who, like his “Leathernecks,” has been around a lot and has a way of making himself at home un­ der inhospitable conditions. His World war honors, won in France, include a citation by Gen­ eral Pershing, the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, the Purple Heart and the Legion of Honor ribbon. He entered the marine corps as a civilian. His rough-and- ready military education later was supplemented by a course in the command and general staff school in 1925. He saw service in China and the Philip­pines, back in the dawn days of “manifest destiny,” and in the World war he commanded the Second battalion of the Sixth marines in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives. He was assigned to Cuba in the post-war years and, by 1935 , had attained the rank of brigadier general. In 1936 he was made a major general and comman­dant of Die marine corps. The Continental congress .set up the marines, the oldest branch' of the American armed forces. Away -back in 1802 they took Dema, in Libya, recently taken by the Brit­ ish. They were fighting pirates in the Dutch East Indies in 1835 ; in Tripoli in 1840 and Formosa in 1867 . - Their range has been north and south from the Arctic to the far South Seas, and east' and west around the globe. Without dispar­agement to other forces they have come to symbolize tough fighting prpwess and capacity for fast catch- as-catch-can milling anywhere. Secret Army-Navy Headquarters in East 'M : JSg Succor for Wounded America’s eastern seaboard is guarded by a closely co-ordinated de­fensive and offensive system, by land, sea'and air, with leaders working in unison at secret headquarters somewhere in the New York area. Above are two views of army and navy commanders conferring in the plotting room of the secret joint headquarters. (Official D. S. army and navy photos.) v : Nelson Defends Sl-a-Year Men Donald M.

ONE day recently Marlene Dietrich was called back to Columbia studios for spe­ cial .scenes for “The Lady Is ■Willing,” her new comedy with Fred MacMurray. One bit of action had her being be­ sieged by autograph hunters in front of a theater. As one little girl thrust forward her book the star looked at her closely, say­ing, “Haven’t I seen you before?” She had; “Before I became an ac­ tress,” said the youngster, “I got your autograph in front of the stu­dio.” The “actress” is 11 -year-old Carol Anne Lever. — * — Cecilia Parker, Mickey Rooney’s sister in the Judge Hardy Fandly series, rejoins the family in “The Cointship of Andy Hardy.” In pri­ vate life Mrs. Dick Baldwin, Miss Parker retired temporarily some months ago to welcome the stork; CECILIA PARKER in the two pictures that were sub­sequently made, she was referred to as “visiting in New York.” The first day that she came back to work, she walked on the set with her baby girl in her arms; shooting couldn’t start until every member of the cast had held ,the infant. “Here Comes Mr. Jordan,” which a lot of people thought was the best picture of 1941 , is to have a sequel, known at the moment as “Hellbent for Mr. Jordan.” Let’s hope that it won’t be as disappointing as sequels usually are. "Abie’s Irish Rose,” heard coast- to-coast over the NBC network ev­ ery Saturday, has been enacted in every country in the world. The late Will Rogers saw a full production of the play in China, with Chinese “Murphys” and “Levys.” Edward G. Robinson has sold his home studio, Warner Bros., the idea of starring him in “The Death of Jim Gower,” which was presented on his “Big Town” radio program recently; it deals with an idealistic but drunken newspaper man. A drop of water proved to be the most temperamental “actor” in the cast of Columbia’s “The Adventures of Martin Eden,” the Jack London classic. Representing a tear, the drop of water required seven “takes” to sizzle on a hot iron held by Claire Trevor, the most “takes” of any scene in the picture. Ona Munson can’t , get rid of that jinx that’s been pursuing her. Her nose was broken when a make-up mask was being fitted to her at Warner Bros.; then she showed up at the “Big Town” broadcast with bandages on four fingers and one leg, from injuries received while she was making a jungle picture at Universal. Virginia Payne, star of radio’s “Ma Perkins,” declares that it’s the programs with the family, back­ground that pay dividends. “Ma” has been on the air for more than 2,500 consecutive performances; “Amos ’n’ Andy”, “Bachelor’s Chil­ dren," “Pepper Young’s Family”— they all go on forever, seemingly. They make stars, toO; Don Aineche and Tyrone Power are just' two who’ve graduated to film stardom from them. When he finished work as “Mr. Cugat,” Ray Milland left with Mrs. MiUand for a vacation at Sun Val­ ley. Veronica Lake and her hus­band also headed for Sun VaUey, when she finished “This Gun for Hire”; two pairs of skis were fas­tened to the top of their car. But after a few days of winter sports they yearned for Florida; made the trip in such a rush that, when they reached Miami, the skis stiff rode the car top. Passers-by stared, thinking them slightly mad, or may­be just ignorant of the rfact that they were headed the wrong way. ODDS AND -ENDSr Chesier Morris spent two days in a Ioimdry hamper for scenes in Columbia’s *Confessions of Bos­ ton Blackie” . . . Joe E. Brown’s costumes for "Shut My Big MouthJt in which he im­personates a woman, were designed by the creator of Rita Hayworth's screen ward­robes . . .

Lesson for February 22 This Valentine Cake Goes Straight to Your Heart! (See Bedpes Below) Cnpid’s Day Hearts are king for a day and with these magic little symbols you can do up some magic tricks tbat will make small entertaining a tri­ umph. You can have a party if you like in the Valentine theme, or you can work in the decorations of hearts, Cupids, red-and-white or pink-and-white color schemes in just serving refreshments. The idea is to be festive and just gay enough to put you and your family in a good mood. So plan to be on speaking terms with Valen­ tine’s day with the star selections I’m including in today’s recipes. If you’re really planning a party, any number of ideas offer them­ selves a s a gracious part of the en­ tertainment. For instance, if you’re far enough north to have ice, an ice carnival is fun. A masquerade in which the guests come dressed as some of Cupid’s famous victims goes over well. A card party featuring' games such as “Hearts” or “Old Maid” might answer yc.ur needs, or perhaps a dance with heart and CU- pid decorations in crepe paper. *St. I Valentine’s Da y Cake. 3 cups sifted cake flour 3 teasppons double-acting baking powder % teaspoon salt Vi cup butter or other shortening 1% cups sugar I cup milk % teaspoons lemon extract 4 egg whites, stiffly beaten Sift flour once, measure, add bak­ ing powder and salt, and sift to­ gether three times.

(Serves 6) Pimiento 1 % teaspoons gelatin 2 tablespoons cold water Lynn Says: Valentine ideas are practical for the celebration of anniversa­ ries even after St. Valentine’s day is past. Recently I saw an anniversary celebration at which a cranber­ ry mold was used. Cranberry jelly cut in heart shapes was placed around the big mold. The number of small hearts cor­ responded to the number of years the couple had been married. The heart-shaped cakes and molds of ice cream are much in use for anniversary celebrations and carry out the idea effective­ ly. Heart-shaped candies may also be used to decorate whipped cream or desserts. Valentine Day Supper Party •Chicken Loaf With Mushroom Sauce or ' Assorted Cold Meat and Cheese Bcead or Rolls.

Bake in a mod­ erate (350-degree) oven IVi hours in a pan of hot water. Allow to stand Vi hour in pan after taking from oven before attempting to unmold. For mushroom sauce, canned mushroom soup may be used. Fla­ vor with the juice of a half lemon, and a dash of nutmeg. Jt you de­ sire to make a mushroom sauce, make 2 cups of medium white sauce, add I clip sauteed, chopped, canned or fresh cooked mushrooms. Season this with lemon juice and nutmeg. Meringues, crisp and chewy, are unexcelled for desserts when main courses are on the hearty side. They lend them­ selves to all types of decorations and in this . in­ stance, you can serve them filled with strawberry ice cream or one of the red ices. •Meringues.

GOLDEN TEXT—Let your litcbt so shine oefore men. that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.—Matthew 5:16. God is sovereign and has all pow­ er. He might, therefore, perform His works without the help of man, and on many an occasion He does just that. That fact makes it all the more glorious that He ordinarily works through men, giving to them the privilege of companionship with , Him in service. Sinful and weak j though they may have been, they i become strong and holy in Him, 1 able to do valiant service in His ' name. I I. Appointed to Serve Christ (w . 12-19). It is the constant teaching of Scriptuie that those called to serve God are not self-appointed. They are i I. Chosen by Him (w . 12- 13). He chooses whom He will, givts them the gifts and the grace for ministry I (and both are important!), and pro­ vides them a place of service. It is vital to the servant of Christ that he know that he has been chosen and caltal of the Lord. Only with that assurance can he meet the problems and bear the burdens of the work. Observe that it was after a night af prayer that Jesus appointed the twelve. * How many .churches give that much prayer to the choosing of its leaders? Do we not need it far more than did our Lord? 2. Called from Many Walks of Life (w . 14-16). The apostles Were men of widely differing gifts, tem­ peraments, and personal character­ istics. Some had unusual ability, others apparently were of ordinary qualifications. They were of many occupations, fisheimen, a tax gath­ erer, etc.; but not one was by pro­ fession a preacher or priest. Were men to,choose for such of­ fices they would look witljin the nar­ row limits of a few learned profes­ sions, with certain nationalities pre­ ferred, and with position in life an important factor. God cuts across every man-made limitation and calls His workers as He sees fit. 3. Companions in Service (w . 17- 19). At once the twelve received their introduction to service to the great multitude diseased, demon possessed, in spiritual need. It was Jesus who healed them (and notice that “he healed them all,” v. 19), but verse 17 tells us that the newly appointed apostles came and stood with Him. T,hey had fellowship with the healing and serving Christ, just as we may have it in service for Him today. n . Prepared to Live for Christ (w . 20-26). Service for Christ is as much (per­ haps we should say, more) by life as by ministry. The twelve needed instruction that their spiritual per­ spective m ight'be right. He tells them . 1. How to Meet Difficulties (w . 20-23). Poverty, hunger, weeping, being hated for Christ’s sake, these were the things that Jesus knew His servants might expect, so He prepared them. Theyweretoldthat these things need not disturb them, for there is a kingdom coming; there will be a time when every hunger will be satisfied, when weep­ ing shall turn to laughter. Hatred for Christ’s sake is de­ clared to be the occasion for an outburst of joy because of the re­ ward which awaits in heaven. Scripture speaks much of rewards, and we do well to encourage our­ selves and other Christians by the blessed prospect. Meeting difficulties is a matter of having mental and spiritual eyes rightly focused. If we do, we can see right through them and see that on the other side there is blessing. But there are temptations in an­ other direction, so He tells them 2. How to Avoid Dangers (vy. 24- 26). Jesus is here speaking of those who, lacking true spiritual vision, revel in the satisfaction of worldly things without a thought of God. The passage, however, may well be ap- pUed to the workfer for Christ. Often he will be tempted.to covet the wealth, the . prosperity, the pleas­ ures, and popularity of those round about him.The question which comes to him is, Why should I and my family not share these pleasant things? There­ in lies a temptation to become worldly-minded, centered in thetem- poralities of life. Let him'learn that money in itself cannot bring last­ ing joy ; that4 the fullness of this world'is soon exchanged for an eter­ nal emptiness; that the shallow lafighter of this world’s fun rapidly gives way to weeping. Tlie praise of men—popularity_ with those who know not Christ—is j a fickle tiling. One day they will praise a man to the skies, and the next day no evil word or disgrace­ ful treatment is spared to destroy and dishearten him; PATTERNS S-EWlNG CIRCLE W ^pH E soft detail of the ruffling at -*■ the deep V neckline of this dress adds much to its chairm and femininity.

L ig h ts of N ew Y o rk by L. L. STEVENSON Metor: When the duke of Windsor made his last visit to this country as prince of Wales several years ago, his guard was J. L. Nye—com­ monly known as “Bill” Nye—of the United States secret service, who is now an executive with the Guaranty Trust company. At the large formal ball given for the prince by Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, his royal highness asked Nye how he would know with which of the ladies he should dance. “Just watch me,” replied Nye, “if I dance with a guest, it will be all right for you to do so.” The prince followed the advice and everything went well. But it seems that the scheme leaked out and Nye then became the most pop­ ular person at the party. Incidentally, during the recent visit of the duke and duchess of Windsor, Nye was absent from his bank duties. He was again guard­ ing the duke. • * • • Delay: New York motorists who travel the Merritt highway, that marvelous Connecticut roadway that starts at the end of Hutchinson park­ way, have been puzzled by being stopped night and morning by red flags while 40 or more cows saunter lazily across. Bugs Baer finally has come through with an explanation. It seems that when the highway was built, a farmer living along it re­ tained the right-of-way for his cows to cross twice a day. So, rather than build an underpass, which would run into money, the state per­ mits him to hold up all traffic until his herd is safely-over the high­ way. Most motorists, particularly those from New York, who use the Merritt highway, are in a hurry. As everyone knows, cows never are. So there is much fretting and fum­ ing on the part of the drivers, all the more so because they pay a dime to use the highway.• * . Far West: At the rodeo in Madi­ son Square Garden, a trim, blonde young womag-, in a white cowboy outfit and wearing a white 10-gallon hat sat on the chute and cheered the riders, all of whom she knew well. With her was a cowboy, a chunky, solid sort of a man of the open spaces who neither drinks nor smokes. The cowgirl was Sally Rand and the cowboy, her fiance, Turk Greene, the Cheyenne champion. When the rodeo moved on to Bos­ ton, the fan dancer and her cowboy went right along. Some day after their wedding, they intend to settle down on a Montana ranch. * * * Thoughtful: Some time ago,. Har­ old Ross, editor of the New Yorker, was entertaining Joe . Cook at his country home at Stamford. In the course of a discussion, a question came up which could be settled only by consulting the Bible. Unfortu­ nately, the Ross household 'did not possess a copy of the Scrjptures. Cook promised to take care of the deficiency. Apparently he did so by requesting all members of the large cast of the musical show with which he was appearing on the road, to send Ross a Bible. The comics, singers, show girls, chorus girls and others sent Bibles with the result that now in the Ross library, there is a whole shelf, full of them. In fact he has' so many that recently .he made'a present of one—a Bible, n o te show girl—to one of this de­ partment’s alert scouts.. • • Hicks: Visitors needn’t be royal to make New York stare.

Not only did those sitting in the balcony rise to their feet and crowd forward to see him as he passed along the aisle, but occupants of the highest- priced pews stood so that they might give him a gander. And when the play was over, crowds congested the sidewalk in front of tfie theater until shooed away by cops.

By MISS MABEL G. FERNALD (Home Dem'onstratioa Agent,Ohio State University.) One of the best ways rural home­ makers can help in the defense pro­ gram is to promote better health through better nutrition for the family. Rural families could improve their diets by using more protective foods such as milk, eggs, fruits, and vegetables produced on the farm. The average family does not eat enough of these products to ade­ quately supply body needs. Studies show that only one-fourth of- the families in United States have good diets, more than one-third have fair diets, and another third have poor diets. The fact that 40 per cent of the men given physical examinations in this country failed to pass be­ cause of ailments due to faulty nu­ trition should spur homemakers on to a better food program. There is much discontent and unhappiness in family life due to poor health, America wants to protect her chil­ dren with plenty of the right food. Well-balanced meals at regular hours and plenty of rest and sleep are essential for normal growth. Foods necessary for an adequate diet at moderate costs have been worked out by nutrition specialists who say children should have four cups of milk daily; adults, three cups; Irish or sweet potatoes should be served once or twice a day; dry beans, peas, peanuts, and nuts, three times a week; tomatoes, cit­ rus fruits, or other vitamin C-rich foods, one serving a day; leafy, green, or yellow vegetables, one or two servings a day; other vegeta­ bles and fruits about two servings a day. Every member of the family should have an egg a day in addi­ tion to those used in cooking. Lean meat, fish, or poultry should be served seven or eight times a week; cereal daily; bread at every meal; and dessert once or twice a day. An adequate diet can be made possible by careful planning by the homemaker but each individual win have to assume his share of the re­ sponsibility by living up to the high­ er nutrition and health standards. Lamtching of AIafiama Rehearsed for 2 Years PORTSMOUTH, VA The battle­ ship Alabama will make a big splash when it is launched at the Norfolk Navy yard here next Feb­ ruary, a splash so big that engineers already are calculating how wharves across the narrow Eliza­ beth river can be protected from damage. Drag chains weighing 600 tons will help check the .ship’s speed. The Alabama has been “launched” time and again in miniature in the David W. Taylor model basin, oper­ ated by the navy under the bureau of ships at Carderock, Md., and every conceivable problem connect­ ed with the actual launching has been studied. Naval architects were letting the model of the 35,000-ton vessel slide down the ways into the basin as long as two years ago, and from these launchings engineers have collected data which tell them ex­ actly what to expect when the sister ship of the Massachusetts and the South Dakota actually hits the river. The model tests showed, for ex­ ample, that a possible wave eight feet high might be set up by the battleship, but that the height of the wave in the confined waters of the Elizabeth river probably would not exceed five feet. It was found that unless the mo­ mentum of the ship was checked in some way the vessel undoubtedly would crash into the Berkley wharves across the river. That is why the tons of chain drags, placed in 50-ton clumps and secured to pads at the side of the shiD. will be emnlnved. Faiin Marketing Progressiveness is a distinctive characteristic of many of the co­ operative organizations for market­ ing farm products, the U. S. depart­ ment of agriculture notes in review­ing recent reports. “In many fields,” says George H. Thomson of the Farm Credit administration, “co-operatives are maintaining their leadership. One large co-operative, for example, developed the X-ray method of inspecting fruit which re­ veals defects hidden from old in­ spection methods. An olive co­ operative perfected a machine which pits ripe olives at the rate of 750 to 1,000 a minute. It has enabled the association to lead the way in putting out a commercial pabk.” Exercise for Cows Is First Rate Tonic During the winter months cows should be turned out daily for ex­ ercise as fresh air and sunshine, combined - with a moderate amount of exercise is nature’s best tonic for them. Cows that are stabled continuously become lame, stiff and develop a general unthrifty condition, he reminds dairymen. Research has shown that mod­ erate exercise tends to increase slightly, both the percentage and total yield of butterfat. Cows also benefit from ,direct exposure to sunshine when they are turned out- of-doors. The ultra-violet light in sunshine penetrates the skin and produces vitamin D from traces of ergosterol found in the skin tis­ sues. Sunshine and quality roughage are the principal sources of vitamin D in the dairy ration. The length of time cows should be permitted to remain out-of- doors will naturally depend upon weather conditions. It is a good plan to provide an exercise pad­ dock on the sunny side of the bam where it will be sheltered from the prevailing winds. From a management standpoint, it is a good idea to clean the bam and re-bed the stalls while the cows are outside. Disease and War Germany’s invasion of the Chan­ nel islands, home of the Jersey and Guerhsey dairy cattle breeds, has infected them with fOot-and- mouth disease, according to Dr. John Mohler, chief of the federal bu­ reau of animal industry. The is­ lands were occupied in the summer Ot 1940. - Russia’s invasion of Fin­ land last year brought the disease to that country, , too. He emphasized the importance of effective quaran­ tines to protect U. S. livestock from foreign disease. Uruguay to Build Base To Aid American Defense MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY. - Early construction of a base for Iandplanes and seaplanes that woiUd have full command of the vital Rio de la Plata mouth and be available for United States use in the event of war is reported planned by Uruguay. The base, informed sources said, would include a strip of land facing the Atlantic, which would be used by landplanes, and Laguna Negra for seaplanes and flying boats. Part of the cost, these sources said, would be met from the $17,- 500,000 obtained recently from the United States for national defense. PREVENT DISEASE IN DAIRY HERD Good Management, Feeding Will Reduce Losses. By Br. GEORGE TAYLOR : (ggteasien Dairyman, New Jersey CoiJege Oi Agriculture, Rutgers University.) Dairymen should think more In terms of herd health and disease prevention and less in terms of treatment and cures. The value of any dairy animal Is dependent primarily upon its health. Prevention of disease is far less costly than disease treatment, and good feeding and management practices can go a long way toward reducing annual losses in dairy herds due to disease. The ration should supply the prop­ er balance of protein, energy, min­ erals, and vitamins. Water is also needed. Quality roughage, including hay, pasture and grass silage, is the most essential item of dairy feed. It is a fair source of calcium and practically the sole source of vita­ mins A and D in the dairy ration. Concentrates.which must be fed to satisfy higher levels of production tend to be toxic to a dairy animal. This effect Is largely overcome by the feeding of quality hay when pas­ ture is not available. The long list Cf ailments in dairy cattle which can be avoided by good feeding includes goiter, bloat, impaction and loss of appetite. Management ranks with feeding in importance in checking disease. Because the spread of disease is more rapid in large herds, the size Cf the milking unit should be limited to 50 cows or less. Separate quar­ ters Aoiild also be provided for growing heifers and baby calves. Separate isolation and maternity quarters are also desirable. Strict sanitation is a most im­ portant part of management. Regu­ lar systematic cleaning and disin­ fecting will aid materially in keep­ ing down the causative organisms associated with disease. Dairy animals should be allowed ample exercise under conditions where they may benefit from fresh air and exposure to sunshine.

However, there are some'... hopeful signs among the many dirk and trying scenes that are apoiit us, and that confront ns. jfre find that many people are praying. They are turning their thoughts and hearts toward God. ; It is an absolute fact that many .people rea­ lize the need of help thi^iis beyond that of man, therefore they turn toward God and HeanepK This is commendable; this ls as it ought to be. Godcan help ns|when all earthly help aud assistance fails and comes to naught. In yesterday’s mail I received this short letter from ISjfe one: "Mr. Isenhour, I have ,Wen read­ ing your good sermons in the pa­ per. I want you to pray for me that I may be saved.’'£' (The writer of this short note signed* no name. The tone of the letter sounds like some soul is in trouble and wants help from the Lord—wants salva­ tion. most blessed to desire pravejgjjiorone’s salvation. God hears ^hd answers the prayers of His people in behalf of , the peni­ tent sinnepiMkmay bring one to repentajj^kjihfough the earnest, sincereafa£eTS\:6f somebody else.

You can be saved frojtn all your sins, cleansed inbesetvand soul, and made a fiJrSubject 'for Heaven. It will pay Vdu ten Uiillion times to seek the Lorid in repentance un­ til you find Him precious to vour soul.'’ He is still in the soul saving business. Just roll your sins over on Hismercy and He will bear them all away, and- then sanctify your soul. One of our readers| from Bakers- ViUei N.

But When one asks for prayer that she 'may be saved from sin, made free from a binding habit, and have a heavy burden removed, and like­ wise ask^ for prayer for her child­ ren, thii,is- a; .hopeful sign.

Trela D. ColUns figured he’d go them one better by using no rubber at all. Dr. Collins, pastor of Lakewood Baptist churcb, brought forth from his private museum an old two- wheeled velocipede of the 1865 vin­ tage. The wheels are of baud-tor- ged steel. But, after much effort to learn the art of bis forebears aud ride the antique, the minister admitted that he had “as soon stand up and walk as tey to sit down and walk.’’ This particular tvpe of veloci­ pede was invented by Ernest Mich- aux; of London, in 1365, and was the direct successor of the old Bone Crusher of an earlier date, but Dr. CoUins is sure the inventor could have made very few improvements to remedy the shock of the ride. CoUstrurted of steel and wood, the antiquated two-wheeler por­ trays something of the artistic in workmanship and genius. The front wheel, which is the central and sufficient means of motivation, is 50 inches in diameter. With ped­ als fastened directly to the front axle there is no chain or rod drive. The rear wheel is about 14 inches in diameter and operates -on a swival. The velocipede, which has been in Dr. Collins* family for more than 75 years, is in excellent condition. Sweet Marie (Chicago Sutt) There used to be a popular song which had its vogue years before onr present young soldiers was born. The first line of the chorus was “Come to Me, Sweet Marie,” and though neither tune nor lyric ever hit them, lonely boys in uni­ form on th e highway between Alexandria and Fort Belvoir, Va., must have been thinking that top- Iind the other day when they pick­ ed up scraps of paper—scores of of them—and found this message: “Soldier Boy, please write me. Marie Thomas, Arlington, Va.” So they started writing—all sorts of letters, from diffident and re. spectfnl to what is known in the jargon of the day as “hot ” But —and oh, the pity it!—Marie’ Ma stepped in and sbnt off the whole business. You see, the child is only eleven. The obstructionists, temporarily halted by Paul Harbor, have re. capped their tires and nodr are roll­ ing along again.—Ex. s- in a rough bunch of boys, and he is homesick. Hesays that, he is praying very mnch and believes there is something good coming. So please pjay for us. These are awful days.” Indeed, dear sister, yon shall have an interest in our prayers, God has in store all that you need for your soul, and he can bring your brother home In answer to your prayer, if such is His will. It pays to pray. Our heavenly Father does great and wonderful things for those who pray and put their trust in Him, and will do wonderful things for others in an. swerto the prayers of His dear children and saints. It is too bad that sc many of the soldier boys are rough and sinful They need God. Manyofthemwillneverget back home alive, in all probability, if this awful war continues. There­ fore let’s pray for thetr salvation, How they need Jesus to take care of them! Every sonl on the face of the whole earth needs the Lord Jestts Christ and vital, Hoiy Ghost salvation. Nothing else can save us. Little Stingers. From The Yellow Jacket It appears that the Reds are red- hot on the heels of the Huns are frozen so stiff they can’t run. Just a sort of a fox-trot frost bitten re treat There is some consolation in the fact that when a persistent pacifist turns positively puenacious, there’s no stopping him. He’ll go the limit. He’ll do or die. There have been- great demands for units from patriots all over the country during tbe past several months. The Japs achieved this when they bombed Pearl Harbor. An eligible young of our ac quaintance says he would like to meet a good looking young lady who didn’t know she was good looking. Who wouldn’t? Some folks say it is better to keep quiet than to be complaining all the time. Perhaps so, but keep­ ing mum doesn’t seem to do the ojwter much good. You ask us how we think Hit Ier will wind up. Onr prediction is that he will die like a hydropho­ bic dog and following this, the con­ quered countries will revolt to end the New Order.

Wouldn’t it be nice it all the war lords should quit because they found it too much to win? Prices Eighty Years Ago According to an old clipping con­ taining 1 be Charlotte market quo­ tations in June, i860, a year before tbe Civil war, the cost of living was mnch lower than at the pres­ ent time. Bacon and hams were quoted at 22%c; butter at 15c; ap. pie and peacb brandy 75 and 70c; corn at .85c; chickens at 20c. each; eggs at 12c; flour at $6 50 a barrel; molasses at 70c; mutton at 5c; pork at 7c; North' Carolina whiskev at 51 to 58c. a ga'lon, and northern whiskejr at 45c. to 55c.. The scale of prices just befote the Civil war, as some will recall, were not - so very different from the scale pre­ ceding World War NoJ 1. Prices just before the present war were mnch higher. Llqor about f 6 per gallon; hams 30 to 40c; butter 25 to 30c; chickens go to 80c; mutton 30c; eggs 30c; flour about £8 per barrel, molasses $1 per gallon and no North Carolina peach brandy at any price.

Since agriculture, especially food and feed, means so mnch to Nat­ ional safety at this time, every far­ mer should, in CO operation with programs outlined to you by your County Farm Ageut and Home Demonstration Agent, plan an In. dividual program of fanning that will best fit into the National pro­ gram. In the connection the U. S. De­ partment of Agriculture, throagfa the Emergency Crop and Feed Locn office of the Farm Credit Ad ministration, stands ready to assist fa, mers who find themselves in need of fiuancial assistance by gran­ ting loans for crop production pur­ poses to farmers who are unable to obtain financial assistance through their local banks or Production Credit AssPcIsrions The farmer must have a well balanced cropping program, planting sufficient food and feed crops for home use and to feed his live stock in addition to sufficient cash crops to take care of his family needs and Io repay bis loan. These loans are secured by a first lien on all crops with an interest rate of 4 per cent. Applications may be placed by calling at the office of F. R.

PAYS ro ADVERTISE. When the dimpled baby’s hungry, what does the baby do? It doesn’t lie serenely and merely sweetly coo; The hungry baby bellows with all its little might Till some one gives it something to curb its appetite. The infant with the bottle whieh stills its fretful cries A lesson plainly teaches: It pays to advertise. The lamb lost on the hillside when darkness closes round Stands not in silence trembling and waiting to be found; Its plaintive bLatfAg^cboes across the vales and meat^j. ^ ^ Until the shepherd hears""ilj/^lhd, bearing, kindly heeds. And when its fears are ended, as on his breast it lies, Tbe lamb has made this pvtent: It pays to advertise. The fair and gentle maiden who loves the bashful boy Assumes when in his presence, a manner that is coy; She blushes and she trembles till he perceives at last. And clasps her ciosely to him aud gladly holds her fast, And as he bends to kiss her, and as she serenely sighs. This fact is demonstrated: It pays to adyertise.

PARTON (Consolidated Features—TVNU Service.) |']SJEW YORK.—In the years be- :-*■ ’ tween the two world wars, Dr. Winifred V. Richmond of St. Eliza­ beth’s hospital, Washington, D. C., _ .... _ devoted in-Stabilize Parent, tensive re- Rather Than Child, search to the Psychologist Says ravages of war psycho­ sis on the mind and personality of the young. She became a leading authority in this field and, in her work today offers unique and highly informed conclusions as to how to safeguard children, particularly ado­ lescents in the intensifying psycho­ logical war. The problem, she finds, is largely the stabilization of par­ ents rather than the young. She cites primitive cultures. Primi­ tive man takes his horrors in his stride. He has a physical and emotional equipment to meet them. He doesn’t crack up, and neither do his children. Young children get emotional security from their elders. Such is Dr. Richmond’s drift in her many books and articles, the lat­ est of which is her newly pub­ lished book, “Making the Most of Your Personality.” Within the last few decades she has examined countless children in the twilight zone of near-emotional and psychological collapse. She has saved or helped to save many of them. Her findings are compiled in her latest book, addressed to both parents and adolescents. Safe­ guarding the children in the “war of nerves” is her campaign. She is a devoted, graying abbess of science, born in Elizabeth, W. Va., :n 1876, holding degrees from Ohio and Clark university. She taught 15 years, starting her career in a one-room country school, and moving on to the teaching of mental hygiene, and in wide fields of re­ search, in many universities. TH E Yippy, Dippy, Lippy Fakir of Ipi—here he is again and somebody will write a song about him some day, like the one about the T i V- n - AbdulAbdul- TheYippytDippy, bul A m eer. Lippy Fakir of Ipi T h e G e r - Is Quite Slippery m ans are giving h im another workout among the wild tribes of Afghanistan and northwest­ ern India, having used his incen­ diary talents for years before the start of this war. Kipling’s “Man Who Would Be King,” operating in Die same territory, was just an old stick- in-the-mud, .compared to the emaciated wild-eyed little man, with bis" hair dyed bright red and a yell that gives everybody a nervous breakdown for miles around. His dish is “scourging the Infidel British.” He is the “Avenger of the Chnrch of Is­ lam,” an ace troublemaker for the Germans and Japanese just now, with his skill in provoking murderous religious wars. The British take him seriously, as bis inflammatory range is such that it 'might necessitate the with­ drawal of troops from Burma and Bengal to guard the Khyber pass. As a matter of fact, the British have taken him seriously for many years. They have chased him on foot and on horseback, with planes and armored cars, with an army of 40,000 soldiers, and with everything but bloodhounds. But he has always slipped just out of reach. He has been known as “The Holy Man' of the Suleiman Mountains,” and among the tribesmen the legend grows that he can do a clever dis­ appearing act when the police are closing in. Although he is now only 41 years old, he has been a prac­ ticing hell-raiser for 20 years, one of the best in the business. He grew up in the bazaars of Peshawar in northwest India, a coolie, and the son of a camel driver. He has led border tribes in several violent uprisings, nota­ bly in 1931 and 1932. His Pathian raiders have been notoriously bloodthirsty. News reports are that Axis agents are gearing him in widely organized radio campaigns. — A FIGHTING priest, becoming an admiral, is assigned command of the French possessions in the Pacific, by the Free French National committee in London. As a priest, he is the studious and ascetic Father Louis de la Triiiite of the Carmelite friars. In his naval command he is Admiral George Thierry d’Argen- lieii. He was imprisoned by the Ger­ mans at Cherbourg in June, 1940, and, while being taken to prison camp, leaped from a train, escaped to London and became a member of the Free French National council.

SE^SCREEfOOTlO'By VIRGINIA VALE {Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Hollyw ood may not see KatharineHepburnworking before.' its cameras again for some time; she left when she fin­ ished “Woman of the Year” with no plans for making more pic­ tures, but with plenty for doing that new play; if it runs as long as “Philadelphia Story” did she won’t be ready for pictures again for more than two years. IncidentaUy, Spencer Tracy-^who also wants to do a play, if he can find the right one—had his hair cut for that new Hepburn picture, the first time he’s done that since 1935, when he had a haircut for “Murder Man,” KATHARINE HEPBURN which he made with Myma Loy think back and you’ll remember tha he’s been doing “unshaven and ui shorn” roles, a long string of them. Case investigators on the air’s “Are You a Missing Heir” program travel thousands of miles and spend hundreds of dollars in search of those heirs — so imagine their surprise when a legatee turned up practically under their noses; she’s Agatha Friederick, and is a script-writer for the agency handling the Heirs pro­ gram. — * — We know only that “the studio has made some concessions” in that dif­ ference of opinion between Deanna Durbin and Universal that’s kept her off the screen all this time. Last Oc­ tober it was reported that she was demanding the right to choose her vehicles and approve her leading men and directors—when a star takes things into her own hands that way she’s usually on the skids that lead to oblivion. Now she’s set to make pictures again. Her husband, Vaughn Paul, will not change his mind about his resignation as a Uni­ versal producer. — * — John Payne replaces Victor Ma­ ture in 20th Century Fox’s “White Collar Girl,” in which he plays oppo­ site Betty Grable. The picture is scheduled to get under way soon, with John Brahm directing. It seems to be children’s day at the Columbia studios. Baby Davy James, the infant Marlene Dietrich didn’t drop in “The Lady Is Willing,” has a new contract with options that cover a total of-21 years; now a year old, he’s known professionally as “Wonder Baby Corey,” his name in that picture. And 15-day-old Norma Jean Wayne is working in “Blondie’s Blessed Event.” That bartender whom you’ll see with Richard Arlen and Arline Judge In “Wildcat” once had his day as a famous man.

It will be filmed in England, and executives are hoping to get Lau­ rence Olivier or David Niven for the lead. It’s a Commando story; the hero’s a long-distance swimmer, who swims the channel from France to England with important information. — ® — Columbia grabbed the title, “The Commandos,” first, however; their story deals with an American boy who becomes one of that daring band, and a girl in Norway who heads an underground movement against the invaders—one more “boy meets girl” plot, in a new setting. “Bedtime Story’’ has a parallel in real life, Helen Hayes’ announce­ ment that she would retire for two years was contradicted by her hus­ band, Charles MacArthur who has a new play for her.

Whitman—WNU Service.) cModeniizing' Old Style Houses SOME neighbors of mine have a brick house built about 60 years ago. It is square and chunky, with nothing Jn its design to make it at­ tractive. It is of the period when or­ naments and jigsaw work were the fashion, but that today makes it look 'hopelessly out-of-date. Its occupants knew that it could be made pret­ tier, but were undecided as to how to go about it. They finally made a business of driving through all of the surrounding suburbs on the look­ out for houses of somewhat the same proportion, that might give them ideas of what to do. It did not take them long to make up their minds. All of the jigsaw and ornamental work was stripped off, and the porch roof and columns were replaced by woodwork of modern design that they, found at a lumber yard. The front door had been hardly more than a rectangular hole through the wall. This they replaced with a stock entrance of Colonial design, with a fan-light and side-lights opening on an entrance" of the same design. This, and the trim of the house, which had been an ugly yellow, was repainted white. The effect of the house was completely changed. In­ stead of being an eyesore the house became one of the most attractive in the neighborhood, with a dignity that had been entirely lacking. The whole job took only three weeks, and the cost was less than a thousand, dol­ lars. Broken Roof Slates Roof slates are secured by nails . going through die upper ends, the nail heads being hidden by the slates of the course next above. There is always a little looseness in slates, and there may be breakage when the slates are rattled by a heavy wind. In replacing a slate, the nails cannot be reached because of the slates above. By one method a strip of sheet copper is used, eight er ten inches long and two inches or so wide. This is secured by nails at one end about half-way up the space left by the missing slate. The new slate is then put into place and is held there by bending the free end of the copper strip over its lower edge. There is sometimes leakage through a slate roof when a heavy wind blows fine snow or rain under the slates. This can be prevented by raising the lower edge of each slate enough to put a dab of roofing ce­ ment underneath to secure it to the slate of the course below. This job is best done in warm weather when the roofing cement is plastic and spreads easily. Cigarette Burn Question: A mahogany table has been burned by a cigarette. I tried to remove-the spot by rubbing with '^teel wool, but this left bare wood. How can this be refinished? Answer: If that ever happens again, scrape the charred wood with a razor blade, which is better for the purpose than rubbing with steel wool. For a finish, put on two or three thin coats of quick drying var­ nish with a camel’s hair brush to build up the depression to the level of the surrounding finish. Each coat of varnish should be hard before put­ ting on the next. Knotty Pine Finish Question: How can knotty pine be finished to obtain a soft mellow ap­ pearance? Answer: The usual finish, is lib­ eral wiping with a half-and-half mix­ ture of linseed oil and turpentine. After an hour or two for soaking in, wipe the surface dry. Repeat in two days. This will not check the mellowing that comes with age. An- • • other good finish is penetrating wax, which can be had clear or tinted with wood colors. Either finish can be followed by waxing. Damp Cellar Question: Ten years ago I had my basement ceiling and sidewalls cov­ ered with chemically treated cement to keep water from seeping through. This has been satisfactory until now. I am having trouble again. What can I do to keep my basement dry? Answer: Age and dampness have destroyed the effectiveness of the ce­ ment. As this has lasted for ten years it has done very well, and your best move will be to have the treatment repeated. Finidi for TUe Question: Last summer we put down a porch floor of quarry tile six inches square, with red mortar joints. At the time it was rubbed with linseed oU, but now it has smeared and the color is no longer pretty. How can it be brightened? Answer: Wiping with turpentine should clean the surface, which seems to be giving the trouble. With the tile dean and dry, put on two or three coats of paste wax, each well rubbed. Headroom Above BoUer. ■ Question: I have had my rotary oil burner taken out of the old coal burning furnace and installed in a new boUer designed for oil binning, and hope to save oU. I have read from time to time that there should be 18 inches-headroom from top of boiler to Uie steam main. I only seem to have nine inches. I should like your opinion as to how this in­ stallation will work out. Answer: The distance is figured from the boiler water level and not -from the top of the boiler. This distance should be at least 18 inches. JltfMH GkamleM\ % 4 * Tlie Truth of It Is . . . This Cherry Torten Is Good! (See Recipes Below) Washington Day Ideas It took Washington to make the cherry famous by telling the truth about cutting down that famous tree, but it takes only a sampling to make us appreciate the excellence of this luscious red-ripe berry. If you’re sensitive to color, and most of you are, I am sure, then you can make the most of the possi­ bilities which the cherry offers for pepping up win­ te r m ealtim e. W ith appetites riding high, but opportunities for decoration fairly low in these cold- i\ p. er months, the ° Washington birthday and its syno­ nym the cherry, come to the rescue. AR of today’s recipes have “Um- um” tacked onto them, so make your bids for fame -by starting off with:•Cherry Torten. (Serves 6 to 8) Torten Layer: I cup sifted flour % teaspoon salt I tablespoon sugar Vt cup butter I egg yolk, slightly beaten Combine flour, salt and sugar. Cut in butter with knives or pastry blender. Add beaten egg yolk and mix thoroughly. Press this mixture into baking dish or pie tin. Cover with cheriy topping and bake in a hot (425-degree) oven for 15 min­ utes. Reduce heat to moderate (350 degree) for about. 20 minutes. Serve hot or cold, with whipped or plain cream if desired. Cherry Topping: I No. 2 can red, tart, pitted cherries Vt cup sugar 4 tablespoons cornstarch I tablespoon butter Drain juice from cherries. Heat to boiling point. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Add enough cold wa­ ter to make a smooth paste. Pour this gradually into the boiling cher­ ry juice and cook 5 minutes, stir­ ring constantly. Remove from fire, add cherries and butter. This upside down cake is as good as it looks because the cherries are in terlaced with the delicious car­ am el m ixture. You’ll be extra clever for vary­ ing the dessert course with this newcomer to the upside down .cake family for it’s bound to - carry off first honors: Cherry Upside Down Cake. 2 eggs % cup sugar Vt cup boiling water % cup cake flour Vt teaspoon salt Vs teaspoon baking powder I teaspoon lemon or orange ex­ tract IVs cups red, pitted cherries Vt cup butter Vs cup brown sugar Beat yolks until thick; add sugar gradually. Continue beating and add water. Mix well and add sifted Lynn Says: The cherry family is one with many brandies. In addition to the red, tart pitted cherries which are abundant in Uie summer and which can easily be put up well in cans, there are two other types of cherries worthy of mention. The first of these is a white type cherry commonly called Queen Anne. This lends Itself weU to salads.and adds distinc­ tive flavor especially when used in combination with other fruits such as pineapple, oranges, grapefruit and bananas. A little bit of the Queen Anne cheery goes a long way. The other type,' called Bing cherries, are deep, dark red, and quite sweet. For that reason they are at home in desserts. They can be made into sauces and served over ice creams and pud­ dings.

Beat in thoroughly and fold in flavoring and stiffly beat­ en egg whites. Melt butter in heavy skillet and add brown sugar. Over this spread cherries, then pour over cake batter. Bake 30 to 40 minuted in a moderate (350-degree) oven. If you ever have cherries left over, you may thicken the juice with cornstarch mixed in water and heated to the boiling point. This is especially good on rice or cottage pudding or as a sauce over ice cream. Cherries and peaches are an in­ spired combination, especially in pie. You’ll be enthusiastic over this one: Peach Cherry Pie.

TPHE veterans of minor league A baseball, whose chances ol breaking into the big time circuits were almost nonexistent a year ago, are taking renewed hope. The reason is obvious. Younger players, between 20 and 25, usually are unmarried. In times like these, clubs are hesitant about signing such men. Uncle Sam has a prior claim to their services. Johnny Nee, veteran New York Yankee scout, admits that baseball’s oldsters will claim the attention oi ivory hunters next summer. Nee ex­ pects to see a good share of 30-year- old rookies in spring training camps in 1943. At least if the war con­ tinues. “As I see it,” Nee said, “we must look for older players—those who have families and consequently are not likely to be drafted—but who might have.a year or two of major league ball in their systems.” The high premium which has been placed on youth causes the public— and some club owners—to forget that quite a few graybeards have made names for themselves in the majors. -Wilcy Moore, for instance, was 30 years old when he came to the Yankees in 1927. Moore , man­ aged to win 19 games and lose only 7 that year. Lou Fette and Jim Turner were 30 years old when they hit the ma­ jors with, the Boston Brdves and each won 20 games his first year. Heber Newsome, 32 years old, nev­ er had been in the majors until last season. He won 19 games for the Red Sox. The Big Upset Fred Haney, manager: of the St. Louis Browns, foresees startling changes in both big leagues this summer. He is quite firmly con­ vinced that the Browns can move up FRED HANEY to the first division, and he- wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Phillies relinguished their tail end posi­ tion. His attitude is based on the matter of players’ ages. Cleveland, he maintains, won’t play the same brand of ball without Feller. The Boston Red Sox can’t compensate for the loss of Ted Wil­ liams and their young, improved pitchers. The Tigers can’t replace Greenberg. The Browns are more fortunate in this respect. They are an older club with more married men aboard. They won’t suffer so much from, the draft. Every club in the league will be losing men from time to time, but the Browns may lose fewer. The Yankees can' stand the loss much better than any other club. They could lose any two or three— or more—players and still be the one team to'beat. The National league, of course, is faced with the same critical prob­ lem. The outcome of the pennant battle may depend on the draft. Many a familiar naine will be miss­ ing from the rosters when the sea­ son opens on April 14. The St. Louis Cardinals have a large share of married men, but also a considerable number of younger stars. Just how many young pitch­ ers will be on hand in mid-April is 'Anybody’s guess. About the Dodgers The Dodgers could be in much worse shape. They get a break in the number of pitchers they have from 35 on up. Butl -Iike the re­ maining clubs, they will lose a num­ ber of younger men who were slated for increasingly important roles. It’s useless to name each club—the problem is general. Although major league difficulties make the headlines, the minor league situation is even more crit­ ical—particularly at the lower end of baseball’s ladder. Class C and D leagues likely will be hard pressed for players before the year is ended. Salaries in Class C run about 5100 a month, in Class D about $80. The present) uncertainty on the baseball., front— both .major and minor — may result in an exciting, scramble which will sharpen inter­ est to an unprecedented extent. Hie mason probably won't go according to pattern. It promises to be a year of surprises and upsets. Teams which have been kept on the winning side of the ledger by the efforts of one or two men will find their posi- ions extremely precarious—espe- :ially if those men are df draft age. The situation isn’t unhealthy. Iaeeball won’t suffer from the uncer- IT ’S fascinating to see this pic- A ture appear so quickly under your needle—all the stitches are easy, you know.

THE STOET SO FAB: JoaD Lelandv secretary to Artbnr Mulford, San Fran- clseo importer, Is amazed and angry, when he discharges her and refuses any explanation. Her sister SybQt with whom she shares an apartment, loses her bean* ty salon position the same day. Joan accepts a position In a night dob, as secretary to handsome KarI Miller, who pays her a high salary In advance and gives the unusual hours as the reason. Be obtains a Job for Sybil and makes love to Joan, who is fascinated. Paul Sherman, his manager, interrupts them, returns later to invite Joan to dinner with him. Joan meets Karl's partner, Eric Strom. Both Paul and Eric seek to make dates with Joan* On one Sun* day, when Karl, Eric and Joan were at dinner, Rarl is called to the tele* He then asks )oan to come to the olttce for some dictation. She writes one short letter and Karl suggests she go home in a taxi. While she is waiting, pan) shows up In his car. She tells him •He had forgotten her purse. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER V **i’ll get it for you,” Patd offered. "And let Karl know you’re taking me home? Oh no! I’ll go myself.” Joan wondered why everything teemed to interfere with her ro­ mance with Karl. Both Paul and Eric seemed bent on making trou­ ble. But she could not be rude to Paul. After all, Karl seemed to like him. The door of the club was unlocked BS she slipped in and hurried down the corridor. Afterwards she won­ dered what instinct prompted her to pause for a moment as she stood wi& her hand on the doorknob of V Karl Miller’s office. The hall was. dark, save for the -crack of light beneath the door. An open window beside her led to a fire escape, where the rain fell noisily on the metal balcony. Perhaps her hesi­ tation was due to the fear that Karl would be angry with her. Perhaps the uneasy feeling that he might discover Paul was taking her home. But Joan paused and Tier heart was beating heavily. It seemed a long time but in real­ ity it was only a few seconds that she stood there listening to Eric Strom’s voice. “Ja, Karl! Bitte!”Karl’s reply was harsh, “Nein, Nein! Es ist verboten.” Joan did not understand but in­ stinctively her hand drew back from the door. This was a private con­ versation. Karl would not want her to hear. But her nervous gesture had made a small sound, which Karl Miller’s ear caught immediately. He threw open the door with a vio­ lent gesture. “Joan! What are you doing?” “I forgot my purse,” she faltered, feeling Eric Strom’s sardonic eyes upon her. '!-.Karrs relieved smile reassured her. “Of course! Here it is.” Joan made -a hasty exit, closing the door quickly behind her, but as she walked down the dark hall she realized that she was shivering. ... “What’s the matter?” Paul de­ manded as Joan got in the car. “You’re as white as a ghost.” “Nothing!” But the girl’s hands were clasped nervously. “Let’s go home. Please!” Joan tried to tell herself that noth­ ing was wrong. Just because Karl and Eric Strom had been speaking in their native tongue was no cause for alarm. But die found herself saying to Paul, “Do you speak Ger­ man?” “So that’s it! You overheard Karl!” "You haven’t answered my ques­ tion.” “And I am not going to,” Paul said firmly as he stopped the car in front of her apartment building. “Do you mind if I come in for a min­ ute?”Joan was not very gracious about it. She was tired and confused. The last thing she wanted was to be forced to listen to Paul’s subtle in­ sinuations against Karl Paul, how­ ever, settled himself' comfortably before the fire, lit a cigarette and said, “Joan, why don’t you quit working at the club?” She stood before him, green eyes narrowed with anger, her head high. “I don’t think it’s any of your busi­ ness what I do or where I work. I’m tired of your insinuations. If you have anything against Karl Mil­ ler, why don’t you come out and say so? Why shouldn’t I work for hiin?” She threw her hat on the table and smoothed her hair in front of the mirror over the fireplace. Paul rose and touched her arm. “I’m sorry, Joan! I guess I used the wrong approach. I suppose from your point of view I'm meddling where I have no right to.” Their eyes met in the mirror. His face was unsmiling, the brown eyes serious.' “You don’t seem like the type of girl to b* working for Karl Miller. You don’t belong at the Club Elite!”“I’m sick of hearing everyone say that. I’m old enough to know what I’m doing. I don’t need advice— trom anyone.” "You are a very stubborn wom­ an,” Paul laughed. The room was cheerful in the fire­ light. The polished brass shone and a large blue bowl of chrysanthe­ mums lent a gay note, to the somber furnishings. “Do you live here alone?" '•With my aster Sybil.” “Please!” Joan cried, exasperated. “Is there any good reason why I shouldn’t work for Karl?” “And she doesn’t approve of your working for Karl, either?” “Please!” Joan cried, exasperat­ ed. “Is there any good reason why I shouldn’t work for Karl? Do you know something against him?” - Paul stared into the fire but he was silent. “Then you don’t know anything?” Joan continued. Paul tossed his cigarette into the flames. “Okay, Joan. You win. I can’t say any more. But remem­ ber this. Watch your step! Will you?” “Thanks for the advice.” “It’s for your own good,” Paul Sherman said, picking up his hat. “How about that date tomorrow, night?” Joan smiled faintly. “Don’t you ever give up? I told you—I couldn’t go.” They stood at the door measur­ ing each other with their eyes— Paul’s, a mask that told her noth­ ing, Joan’s challenging him, defy­ ing him to speak one word against Karl Miller. “I won’t bother you any more then,” Paul said quietly. “Good night.” In the bedroom. Sybil was propped up in her bed, wearing a blue satin bed jacket, reading a magazine. “Was that Karl?” “No, Paul Sherman, giving me some good advice about working at the club. He doesn’t think I’m the type, whatever that means.” She slipped into her warm bath­ robe and sat down on the edge of her sister’s bed. “I met Karl’s part­ ner, Eric Strom, tonight. He tried to make a date with me, too. It’s a shame the way everyone tries to double-cross Karl.” “How in the world did you happen to come home with Paul?” Joan explained, but did not men­ tion what she had overheard when she went back to get her purse. Be­ fore she could finish the telephone rang. Karl Miller’s voice came forceful­ ly over the wire. “Joan? You are home safely?” “Yes. I’ve been home for some time.” She smiled, picturing Karl on the other end of the line. How sweet that he could be so concerned! “I just wanted to be sure that you were all right. Good night, darling.” It was the first time that he had called her “darling.” Her pulse leaped at the unfamiliar endear­ ment. “We will not work tomorrow,” Karl informed her. “We shall have dinner together alone.” Joan went back to the bedroom with shining eyes to tell Sybil. “Then you won’t meet Paul?” “Of course not! I wouldn’t any­ way.”... Joan had not considered the pos­ sibility that Karl Miller might take her to dinner at the same place Paul suggested but as they walked into the lobby of the hotel Paul had men­ tioned, Joan saw him coming out of the bar. He nodded pleasantly as he passed them and Joan breathed a-sigh of relief. Their meal was al­ most finished when Joan saw Paul again. He was sitting alone at a corner table directly behind Karl. When they left, Joan, looking over her shoulder, saw Paul behind them. Was he deliberately following her? Was this his idea of a joke? But Joan did not tell Karl. He might have discharged Paul and she did not want him to lose his job on her account. Karl drove swiftly along the Em- barcadero. “Have you ever been on a freighter?” he asked the girl at his side. “Like to see one?” “I’d love it,” she answered. “Sweet thing!” He reached for her hand. They stopped at Pier 27. Joan could see the hulk of a small ship looming out of the mist. Karl took h e r arm as they walked through a large storeroom, out into the foggy night, and up the swaying gang­ plank of the freighter. On- deck she followed Karl up a narrow staircase to the captain’s quarters. But though a lamp burned bright­ ly in the cabin, there was no sign of the captain.. Joan was intrigued by the round wooden table, the small desk, the faded curtains that in- adeauately draped the portholes. “Isn't anyone on board?” she asked, drawing closer to Karl. “There are a couple of sailors be­ low. I saw them as we came up. We’ll wait here a few minutes. Do you mind?” “No. It’s fun!” Karl walked to the table, poured some whisky out of an old-fashioned crystal decanter, and' quickly downed it. “This ship has been to South America, all through the West In­ dies, even to Japan.” “ How I’d love to go‘to some of those places! I’m so tired of living such an ordinary life. Just eating and sleeping and working day after day.” She moved her hands with an im­ patient gesture. Her figure was straight and slender in its black wool dress, her face pale ivory with its eager mouth and flashing emerald eyes. Karl Miller caught his breath as he looked at her. i “I’d like to take you to South America, darling! Maybe I can some day. Would you like to have me show you the world?” “More than anything!” she cried recklessly. “Oh, Karl . He pressed her hand to his lips. “You’re beautiful,” he murmured. “You’re beautiful and exciting, and I love you, liebchen! Do you know what liebchen means? It is sweet­ heart! It is what you are to m el” His arms were around her. Lieb­ chen! This foreign word held a curi­ ous fascination for her. It was like Karl. Strong, strange arid sweet. “You believe me, Joan? You be­ lieve me?” The drone of foghorns seemed a mournful undercurrent to her rapid­ ly beating heart. “Yes, Karl, I be­ lieve you.” As Karl’s arms closed about her Joan heard a faint sound outside the cabin door. Startled; she cried, "What was that? Karl, did you hear it?” “Probably one of the sailors.” But his hand reached to the inside pock­ et of his coat and he walked swiftly to the door and flung it open. There was no one. The stairway leading down to the deck was emp­ ty. Karl looked out into the dark night. “You must have imagined it! No one is there.” “I heard something. I know I did. Oh Karl, let’s get out of here. You can see your friend some other time, can’t you?” His voice was controlled. "Just as you wish.” But as she preceded him down the steps Joan saw a figure disappear into the shadows of the deck and even in the fog-she could see tha* it was Paul Sherman! * ' . . Three weeks had passed since the njght Joan went to the freighter with Karl and was followed by Paul Sherman. She had not mentioned it to Karl; She wanted to solve th« mystery of Paul’s curious behavior for herself. She' was suse that Paul meant no harm. Looking over Karl’s appointment book, she saw that Paul Sherman would be at the club at ten-thirty that night. ‘T m going to try to see him alone,’’ she decided, “and demand an explanation. If he doesn’t tell me, I’ll threaten to go to Karl about it!” Her relationship with Karl could not have been more perfect since the night on the freighter when he told her he loved her. She felt much closer to him. At least three eve- nings a week Karl took her dancing. On Sundays they went for long rides across the Golden Gate bridge into Marin- county, where ' the trees flashed their autumn reds and browns in the deep November sun­shine. Only Sybil was able to shatter her peace by saying, “If Karl is really in love with you, why doesn’t he ask you to marry him?” “He probably will,” Joan said stubbornly, “in time. After all, we haven’t known each other very long.” Karl, not once had mentioned mar­ riage. “You. still don’t trust KarI, de you?” Joan asked as the jirli washed the supper dishes..

THE PARABLES BY THE SEA LESSON TEXT—Mark 4:26-32; Matthew 13:44-50.GOLDEN TBXT-Never man spake like this man.—John 7:46: Parables as a means of conveying truth reached perfection in the hands of the Master Teacher, Jesus. Taking short stories of well-known events or facts from daily life, He presented profound truth in the most simple and attractive form. Except for tfce parable of the four kinds of seed which He inter­ preted (Matt. 13:18-23), He left it to His listeners to make their own ap­ plication. This has led to some dif­ ference of opinion, but in general the parables are received as excel­ lent and helpful portions of God’s Word. In the two passages of Scripture assigned for our lesson, we have five parables, each with a distinctive message, yet together pointing out that there is a time of growth lead­ ing to harvest and judgment, and that our gracious God has at great cost provided a way of redemption. I. Normal Growth Is Blessed (Mark 4:26-29). God is patient. He awaits the. normal, healthy, steady growth of the seed. Man is so impatient he must have forced growth, artificial stimulation, and even artificial rip­ ening of the fruit. The same attitude enters into his care of his children. They must get ahead in school beyond their years. They must get out and make a liv­ ing long years before they have learned to make a life. Why not let them mature in the orderly, God- given way? The same is true in the work of the church. There must be imme­ diate “tangible” results or he will not give his support. Anyone with judgment knows that spiritual life takes time to develop, and that' spiritual results cannot be judged by physical or tangible' standards. Seedtime, growing time, normal ripening, then harvest — that is God’s order and it is a good one. n . Abnormal Growth Is Danger­ ous (Mark 4:30-32). Normally the mustard tree is a small plant, and when it grew into a’ great tree something abnormal had taken place. Birds (which always denote something unclean in Scrip­ ture) came to lodge in its branches. Just so, Christianity was never in­ tended to be made up of a nominally Christian world empire in which un­ godly men (the dark birds of the evil one, Matt. 13:19). should find comfortable lodgment. Unfortunate­ ly, that is just what happened to' Christianity in the so-called conquest of the Boman empire at the time of Constantine. The results were dis­ astrous. The same principle is evi­ dent today in the control of much of the church by worldly men. m. Redemption Is Costly (Matt. 13:44-16). While it is true that our redemp­ tion is worth more than anything else in all the world and that the Christian would gladly set aside (or would he?) everything for Christ’s sake, yet that does not fulfill the thought of this parable. After all, what has a sinner (whose own right­ eousness is described in Scripture as “filthy rags”) to sell in order to obtain redemption? And is it for sale? (See Eph. 2:8.-) Obviously we here have the Sa­ viour with His all-seeing eye and loving heart noting in fallen human­ ity the pearl of great price, His own Church. He then gives up all the glory He had . with the Father, comes to the earth, and even be­ comes sin for us that He may bring us to God. Salvation in Christ is no little thing, not something which was pur­ chased with gold or silver, but with the precious blood of Christ. We ought to value it highly, and because we are bought with a price we ought always to glorify God (I Cor. 6:28). IV. Jndgment Is Certain (Matt. 13:47-50). AU kinds of fish were in the net, and until the cord was drawn and the- net emptied they looked much alike and enjoyed much the same standing as “citizens” of the sea. But when they faced the fisherman there was a quick division, and a final judgment upon the bad ones. It is true that in God’s kingdom (as it is now manifested in “mys­ tery” in the Church) there, are many who have come in by false profession, through carelessness of pastors'or church officials, etc. They go through the motions, they 16ok and act much like Christians. (al­ though even here they create ques­ tions in the minds of true followers of Christ). The.day is coming, how­ ever, when they shall stand in judg­ ment before, the Christ whom they profess to love and follow. JIow ter­ rible shall be their doom ! They need not wait in fear for that day. They may now, today, make right .their relationship witb God. Seasons Big Hit Is the Bobby Suit THE season’s biggest hit in tai­ lored fashions!
