The young men ban oeen to the woods hunting and on thesr return to town, they were playing soldiers. One of the boys had a shotgun and the other had a rifle. When they were near the hotel, Lineberry drew his shotgun and poinred it at Gourley, telling him to halt, or making some other remark. The young man in some way discharged the shotgun, and the entire load took effect in Gour- ley’s chest, killing him . instantly. An Inquest was held by Coroner W. D. Foster. The following gen. tlemen were empanelled and acted on the jury; C. C. Tiller, W. M. Click, Sam Benson, M. I. Clinel J, T. Stewart and S. A. Bailey. They rendered a verdict that de. ceased came to his death bv acci­ dent. Deceased leaves a widowed mother. Liueberry had been in the army, and had not been in the county long. HieTempIe of the Holy Ghost Rev. Walter E. beohonr. Hiddenlte. N. C. “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bonght with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”—I Corinthians, 6 :19,2 0. The writer of this text, Saint Paul, was speaking to Christians. Perhaps he had more to say ab. ut our bodies than any other writer of the New Testament. Every man and woman of God is to take careof his or her body. It is the temple of the Holy Ghost. When we see people who profess to be the followers of the Lord Iesus Christ mistreating their bodies, as so many do, we are made to won* der. We wonder if their profession isn’t empty; wonder if they know anything about real, vital, Holy Ghost salvation. We wouder if they have been born again. If so, we<are made to believe they have lost their experience. It is not consistent with one’s pro- fession of salvation to mistreat his body. Man’s body is not for ques­ tionable indulgences. It is to be kept free of all evil habits. One can not poison himself with nicotine, alcohol and dopes of different kinds, and in the meantime please God. One cannot indulge in anything that butts and injures his body, knowing that he is doing this, and keep victory in bis heart and soul. Our bodies are to be kept clean from the evils, sins and iniquities of this world. We should indudlge In nothing tnat brings on disease, impairs the health and shortens life. God wants us to keep our bodies in condition that He may dwell within, or that the Holy Ghost may dwell within. The body cannot be given over to adultry, fornication, intemper, auce, lust, evil passions, drunken, ness, or anything defiling, and in the meantime have the presence of the Holy Ghost reigning within the heart and soul. *'What? know ye not that your bod> is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you?” It naturally stands to reason that one drives the Holy Ghost out of bis heart and life if he wilfully, knowingly and purposely defiles his body with the contaminating evils of the world. Hence the reason that many professed followers of the Lord Jes j s Christ are destitute of Holy Ghost salvation, power and victory. If they would repent of their evil habits, get forgiveness then refuse to let satan defile their bodies with sin of any kind, they could live victorious Christian lives. We sometimes sveu wonder why sinners defile their bodies. They form habits that thev know are cursing them, destroying health, shortening their lives and bringing them down 10 an early grave It seems that they would refuse to al­ low habits to curse them as they do. So many are simply robbing themselves of health and strength, and bringing on aches and pains, sufferings and heartaches, all be. cause they defile their bodies. It pleases the devil to get men to in dnlge in evils that wreck them in body as wel! as soul. We should care for our bodies in order to save ourselves of disease and unnecessary suffering, and that we might live out our days on earth: but the main reason that we should take good care of our ,bodies is that the Holy Ghost may dwell within us. The Holy Ghost only relgqs and rules in a body that is yielded unto God. If sin and wUSfc edness is in the heart, mind, soul and spirit, it is an evident fact that the Holy Ghost isn’t there. Of coarse there are those who live in Some Plaio Talk BY RANDOLPH S. HANCOCK Raleigh—Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, North Carolina Health Officer, said today that there is an “untapped” national manpower pool of between 400,000 and 500,000 men, including some 30.000 in. this State, who had been rejected for military service because they are infected with syp» hills Reynolds, declaring that “these men could be cured of the diseasfe and made fit for military service.” said he had brought the situation to the attention of Dr I. C Rigwin, Virginia State Health Officer and president of the National Association of State and Territorial Health Of* ficers. Selective Service authorities con­ tend that 446,000 fathers must go into uniform between now and the first of the year to meet the demands of the armed forces. . It seems to me this other pool ot manpower should be tapped before men with depend­ ents are inducted.” Reynolds said that although an order had been issued providing for treatment and induction into the armed forces of these men. “this is not being done to any appreciable de gree degree despite the fact that they can be curod in from five to 10 days and made fit for military ser­ vice.” Uany of these draft-dodgers will tell you that “I tried to go, but was turned down,’ ” he said. “Tbe blunt truth is that most of them have shown by their failure to take treat­ ment that they prefer syphilis to ex­ posure to bullets,’’ ReyooIdB said many of those who had the disease were being Bllowed to go untreated and were causing spread of the disease. He said that in one recent month 62 specimens were examined by tbe StateLabora- tory of Hygiene of infants under one year of age and of that number 10 were found to be positive. “This can mean but one thing— that these are children of syphilitic parents.” he said. “Perhaps some of these were children of draft-dogers. ' It is a shame that something has not been done to tap this pool of manpower which is, f r tiie moment, a menace to society, one of the re­ sults being that those not infected, including fatten with dependents and teen-age bovs, are required to take the places of these remedial syphilitics,” he said. Bad Eggs? Maybe According to a Chicago report, approximately 8 0 per cent of the 3 9,0 9 1 .3 8 0 dozen eggs, held in cold storage there are threatened with spoilage. About 9 0 per cent of them are earmarked for the Gov­ ernment. Scores Alcohol Dr. T. C. Johnson, in his sermon, at tbe First Baptist church of Kin. stou Sunday, declared liquor, wine and beer constitute the nation’s worst saboteurs and are more dead Iy than war itself. The Record only $1.00. sin, and yet in the meantime say they are Christians, but that does not make it so To be a Christian is to be Cbristlike. ..Naturally tbe Lord' Jesus Christ wouldn't let His body become defiled with evil of any kind. It is Indeed wonderful to realize that we are living such lives,, and that onr bodies are so yielded unto God, that the Holy Ghost dwells within us. There is peace, joy and happiness along life’s pathway for us. It is true that we shall have to suffer some for righteousness’ sake, or suffer at the hands of the enemy of our lives and sonls, but we can realize that it Is only for this life and world; that some sweet day it will all.be over, and we shall dwell with our precious Savior for ever in the glory world where all sufferings are over. Hallelujah to God. Party Loyalty In Missis* svppi Rock-Ribbed Democratic Missis, sippi is just that and will remain so —New Deal or no. Vocally, the partv members condemn much of the New Deal-Democratic domestic policies, particularly those dealing with the racial question. But, when It comes to voting, it’s hew to the line and make it solid Democratic. Men in high public office in the State “cuss” the New Deal and those handling its affairs. This is done, however, In the privacv of their offices and off-the-record. In print, they are ’’all for the party.” It's strictly a clash between per. sonal feelings and beliefs and paity loyalty—the latter being the strong, er, not onlv for political reasons but for patronage at tbe hands of the Federal Government in its varied subsidy programs. v Mississippi Democrats are willing to swallow almost anything in or der to boast of party Ioyaltv and to prevent Ihe1Ir forefathers from turn­ ing over in their graves” at the mention of bolting. They condemn its policies with regard to Southern customs and traditious but frankly admit there’s nothing thev can do about it since the two-thirds rule in the Democratic National Conven­ tion has been abolished. Wit.ta their hands tied and oppos­ ed to a Third Party, the Democrats of Mississippi soothe their feelings with the thought that possibly the ‘corrections” can be made witbin party councils. Tbe thought ol bolting never enters their mind, not even when tbey accuse person* dose to Administration leaders of “forcing certain things down oui throats.” Tbey condemn the par. ty of their forefathers for its efforts to trample on and trifle with South era customs and traditions,” bu never mention * ’bolting.’' That word is just not in tbe vocabulary of Mississippi Democrats says con­ fidentially tbey would rather see a a new man nominated by the party But, tbey are frank to admit “It’s Roosevelt Again.” Greatest concern of the State’s Democrats is registered on tbe ta< cial question. Tbey shudder to think of what happen if tbe Federal Government removes poll tax pay­ ment as a prerequisite to voting or attempts to abolish Jim Crow laws. As to their demand for continu­ ance ot white supremacy in the South—and in Mississippi—the par­ ty members are fearful their posi­ tion eventually will be another Civil War “Lost Cause”—or blood­ shed. But. come what may, tbey intend to keep the ballot box white and the Jim Crows laws intact. Despite that all these “move ments” are laid at tbe door ot the national Democratic Party, when it comes to casting their ,ballot forthe Presidential ticket, Mississippi' De mocrats will forget their antago­ nism long enough to mark a big X in the column labeled Democrat Then they’ll start cussing all over again. —Southern Weekly. “Essential” Workers At this time, when the Adminis- tiation has been drafting fathers, there are 6 7 5 ,0 0 0 draft-age single and childless married men in clvi. Iian. capacities in Government bu­ reaus, Representative Forest A. Harness, Republican, of Indiana, es imated recently. A subcommittee beaded by Re presentative John M. Costello, De. mocrat, of California, was told that there are 1 ,0 8 6 single men of dralt age in the Federal Security Agency done. Secretary Ickes, it was in. formed, is seeking 6 ,0 0 0 deferment lor the Interior Department. Ralph H. Barton, counsel of th« House Military Affairs Committee, said that deferments of Government workers have increased by 2 7 ,6 0 8 since May 1 5. ==== New Deal Family Tax Seen Along Main Street The stark impact of the with, holding tax has taught many an A- merizan voter what it means to have a spendthrift political party in power in Washington We are all leaming that when Washington bn reancrats spend, we piv. The fal­ lacious theory that it was being taken from folks who had too much and given to those who had too lit. tie has been blown sfcy nigh. Take a salary of $3 ,5 0 0 for ex ample. If von earn that much, are married and have three children— a family of five—under the present tax law, passed by the New Deal, after you have paid your income tax (before the New Deal you would have been exempt from in­ come taxes) you will have left ap proximately $ 6 4 0 for each member of tbe family to live on for tbe year. Vour next door neighbor my earn just the'same amount. If he is single, be will have approximate­ ly $2 ,7 8 5 for himself for the year. If .he is’married. with no children, be will have about $1 ,5 0 0 each for himself and wife. In other words, tbe man with a family is the man who is really bit by New Deal still talks about tax­ ing tbe rich. NowSecretaryTrea- nry Morgentbau says tbe New Deal needs more money. There are black days ahead for the family man. Get The “Fears” Straight A recent advertisement shows the picture ot a wife plowing in 1 7 7 7, while her husband was away fighting fbr their country’s inde pendance The advertisement then stressed that by building up cer­ tain financial reserves, one can gain “freedom from the tbe ugliest four of all—Want.” Nowhere was the point made that the women plowing was doing a job to help free herself and bier husband and her country of a. fear much greater than that of financial want, namely, fear of tyranny, fear of oppression, fear of iniustice. •‘Freedom from fear” and ‘ free­ dom from want,” as they are gen- erally ptesented to our people to. day, seem to be based entirely on material things, as if easy living and a full stomach were the prin cipal guarantees which we should worry about. The right to he independent and free of domination by any govern, ment, any king, or any bureau* cracy, is what tbe 1 7 7 7 woman and her husband were fighting for. A full stomach or financial security were the least of their fears. Hx, 'If the Government doesn’t stop wasting money, the average man will be down to bis last shirt and the tax collector will probably even take that off his back.__________ RATIONGUIDE GASOLINE-wAn bookcou- pons No. 6 good for 3 gal­ lons each and must Iaait until Nov. 8.

Another OPA Mirage The Office of Price Administra­ tion has another plan and under tbe light of day it turns nut to be IUST another plan OPA says that by spending $1 0 0,- 0 0 0 .0 0 0 to roll back the prices of seven commodities—apples, oranges onions, potatoes, lard, vegetable oils and peanut Lutter—an overall reduction of 2 .3 per cent in the cost of living to the consuming public would result. Apparently this is just another case of figuring juggling on the part of a Federal agencv in an ef fort to get its hands into the public till, for as Congressman Thomas A. Tenkins, chairman of the Republi­ can Congressional Food Study Committee, promptly points ont, if the entire estimated 1 9 4 3 produc­ tion' of'the seven commodities men­ tioned were subsidized, as OPA proposes, the aggregate cost of the subsidy would be approximately $5 2 5,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 , and not $1 0 0 ,0 0 0 as the OPA states. Further, the Republican commit te chair declares, « 9 4 3 living costs are higher than 1 9 4 2 yet in that year tbe overall cost of living was reported a s $6 9,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 . If we spend the $5 2 5,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 to ac­ complish the rollback Jenkins says, it would still he far from a 2 .3 per cent reduction in the cost of living. He estimates that it would require an expenditure of $1,6 0 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 in subsidy payments to do what OPA proposes to do with $1 0 0 ,0 0 0 • 0 0 0 .

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—'WNU Release. NEW YORK--New word that the Germans are systematically ex­terminating war prisoners either by outright murder or by inhuman ._ forced Ia-NaztTreatmentof ^or, comes War Prisoners Is from Niko- Murdert HeSays jf*1" surgeon of the Red army who has been loaded with honors for his services to science. He is a Hero of Socialist Labor (recipients of this title receive simultaneously the Or­der of Lenin and the Hammer and Sickle); member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR; and winner of the Stalin prize. When the later honor was con­ferred Burdenko said that it was a tribute to the whole of Russian science. He boasted then that 70 per cent of all wounded Red army men had be'en returned to front line action during the early phase of the war. Now- a-days this figure is surpassed. Grandson of a serf, son of a clerk,^ Burdenko worked at various jobs to educate himself. During the Russo- Japanese war he volunteered in a medical unit. Afterwards he com­pleted his studies at Yuriev Derpt university, and during World War I served as a surgeon in front line hospitals. In 1938 he organized the famous hospital for treatment of neuro-pathological cases. Sixty-five years old now, Acad­emician Burdenko is still inde­ fatigable. He says that mortal­ity in German prison camps is 20 to 30 per cent, and believes that German treatment of their prisoners should be adjudged or­dinary murder. Natives in Jap Area Help U. S.

He resigned from the house in ’41 to become comptroller after serv­ ing from 1925. Solidly built, easy speaking, he is popular on Capitol Hill. At one time he ran the house restaurant and brought it trium­ phantly’ out of the red by charging 15 cents for pie. Between Washington, D. C., and Washington, N. C., where he was born in 1889, lie years of steady climbing. Graduating in law from the University of North Carolina, he practiced for a time; became county attorney of Beaufort county, went on to the state senate and thence to the country’s capital. Married since 1916, with three children, he is a great family man. Nevertheless, there are rumors of at least one poker game. He is said in one week-end session to have trimmed FDR himself.

Mr. Swacker wasn’t admitted to practice until he was 35. But be was no sooner in than he was a special assistant to the U. S. attorney general and up to his waist in the New Haven anti­trust proceeding of 1914-17. The railroads, employers and hands recently received the Swacker dissenting report on the claims of some 600,000 operating em­ ployees for a wage boost. TThe majority of the emergency board of three recommended a 4 per cent rise. The Swacker recommendation advocated 7K per cent. The law problems of railroads, have kept Lawyer Swacker prettj busy throughout the years, and rail­road labor problems have been his avocation—the word is his own—the nearest tiling to a hobby that he will admit indulging in.

(W N U Feature— Through special arrangement with CoIiiertS W eekly) Four hundred refugees from Ham­ burg are now in Sweden, eyewit­ nesses of the greatest havoc that ever smote any human settlement. The first attack on Hamburg was delivered on the night of July 24. The attack was concentrated against anti-aircraft batteries, with excellent results. Most of the batteries were silenced in a few minutes.Then, say these eyewitnesses, came an absolute novelty in the his­tory of bombing—bearing witness to the scientific care devoted to plan­ ning the attack. Special reconnais­ sance planes appeared over the city, picking out certain industrially im­ portant sections with green flares dropped by parachutes. These flares hovered like bunches of grapes in the air and aided the bombers coming in afterward to drop their explosives in a square around the section thus marked, so that buildings for whole blocks col­lapsed and all roads and communi­ cations between that section and the remainder of the city were choked off. This was not done to prevent the inhabitants from getting out, but to hinder the transfer of firemen and fire-fighting apparatus from other sections in the effort to save war- important buildings and their con­tents. When communications were thus closed, there began a rain of incen­ diaries that spread fires over such a large area that practically the whole section was drowned in flames. The work of air defense on this and the following nights was enormously hampered by this sim­ple but effective means which, as far as I know, was applied here for the first time. ‘Dazzling Paper’ Dropped. Mrs. Anna Johansson, a refugee fn Malmoe, refers also to “sheets of paper, black on one. side and daz­ zling silver on the other, dropped by thousands from the bombers.” Twenty-five other Hamburg Swedes attest to the correctness of her state­ ment. Air-defense searchlight beams were reflected all ways from these sheets, thus being prevented from reaching the raiding aircraft with full intensity and making the job of locating them much more difficult. The first assault was directed at the inner town. The free port, cov­ ering an area of more than 3,500 acres, naturally was not spared dur­ ing this 90-minute attack, but not until the next raid on Sunday, a day raid, was the most devastating blow directed at this pride of Hamburg.That Sunday, Hamburg displayed an unusual appearance. Even in the forenoon, giant clouds of smoke and dust enveloped the whole town, darkening the sky.Then the sirens screamed, and a big formation of American bombers reduced to ashes the continent’s big­ gest shipyards.These were the plants of Blohm and Voss, Vulkanwerft and Howalds- werft—where the biggest steamers are built, repaired and docked. Monday night, during the fresh British attack, the big gas plant in the harbor section received a direct hit. That terrible explosion deprived the city of gas. RAF Keeps Promise. Tliat evening, none among Ham­burg’s 1.700,000 inhabitants was will­ ing to retire to bed, for the RAF had dropped leaflets promising a repetition of Sunday’s raid on Tues­ day. Hamburgers, from whom Hit­ ler was once compelled to admit he had received the most "no” votes, always listen to the British radio and they know, therefore, that “the British keep their promises.” On Tnesday morning at 11:39, the few remaining sirens screamed. The attack began at 12:30. The raid last­ ed only half an honr, bnt it sufficed to convert Hamburg into a veritable sea of fire. With the central mains destroyed, hundreds of thousands of those leaving the shelters would have given a fortune for a glass of water. The heat was unbearable, in a wind storm like a typhoon. The giant bonfire resulted in a rapid consumption of oxygen. Terrible fire storms resulted in areas where a few minutes earlier complete calm had prevailed. Wednesday morning, the city like a mass of fire lay in ruins and ashes. Sections housing 300,000 people were razed to the ground..The main railroad station, Saint Georg, was a terrible sight on Wed­ nesday, with charred railroad cars on ■ sidings and unrecognizably smashed automobiles. A Swedish girl saw people blazing from phosphorus cast themselves into water—but the phosphorus burned there equally well. Lime was strewn on the corpses scattered about the streets, and the odor of death lay heavy over the whole town.

GLEANED from Metro’s pub­ licity files of a fewyears ago: Clark Gable would be one of the country’s crack skeet shots if he had time for tournament com­ petition. James Stewart took Katharine Hepburnupinhisputt- putt plane and nearly ground looped his ship in a two-point land­ ing. Robert Taylor, set his plane down in a watermelon patch. To­ day: Gable’s heard from England over BBC, telling how skeet shoot­ ing is invaluable training for gun­ ners. Stewart’s piloting a Plying Portress. Taylor will soon be eli­ gible for the Transport Command, Ferry Command or as an instruc­ tor, after completing his training for the navy air force. Jack Benny returned from that 32,000 mile tour overseas, entertain­ing the armed forces, with duffle bags full of telephone numbers. JACK BENNX He’s using them now. He’s calling “Mom”—many a Mom. “Please just tell Mom I’m fine,” the boys would say, and Jack is doing it, as fast as he can. Virtually every nationality in the world is represented in RKO’s “Gangway for Tomorrow"; it has 136 speaking parts. But none of the cast portray their native country­ men. A Russian is played by a Pole, a Czech by an Austrian, a Pole by a German, a Frenchman by a Russian. Richard Ryan, an Irish­ man, plays a German officer. Margo, born in Mexico, plays a French girl. Just Hollywood! An embarrassing moment came to Carleton Young, 20th Century-Fox contract player, at the “Silver Thea­ ter" dress rehearsal, after the an­nouncer had read an elaborate build­ up which was given him. The entire cast, including Loretta Young, salaamed. Before Plorance Halop made her fortunate appearance, talent scouts for the new “Duffy’s” series were so hard pressed to find a new Miss Duffy to replace Shirley Booth that they resorted- to ads in the Holly­ wood papers.—m— Sound effects proved better than the real article when Parks John­son and Warren Hull visited the oil refinery workers at the eastern terminus of the Big Inch pipeline. They wanted to introduce the show with the gurgling of gasoline flowing from a filling station pump, and had a real one set up on the stage. But —they finally used an ordinary egg beater and a hand bell. Don’t be surprised If Charlie Mc­Carthy’s “rather elderly, old-maid relative,” Ophelia, becomes a regu­lar member of that airshow gang. Maybe you heard her when she made her coast-to-coast radio debut re­ cently on the new RCA “What’s New” program. Listeners loved her, and Edgar Bergen thinks she might make a good permanent companion for Charlie and Mortimer Snerd. Frances and Richard Lockridge, authors of “Mr. and Mrs. North," are probably unique among novel­ists whose works have been adapted for radio. Usually authors insist on editing all scripts, often to the dismay of script writers, producers and actors. The Lockridges have been inside the studio just once since the series started on NBC. They lis­ ten to the program at home. After eight years as a CBS staff conductor, Lyn Murray quit to free­ lance.

Salads for Fall Is a salad an integral part of your diet or do you set it aside just for summer months when vegetables are easy to obtain and serve in sal­ ad form? Pood authori­ties and doctors have long recom­mended the use of raw fruits and vegetables in the diet not only to guarantee more vitamins and min­ erals to the dietary, but to give tiie necessary roughage to the sys­ tem. Vegetables contain a great deal of cellulose and are not as easily digested as the softer foods. This means they aid in proper func­ tion and elimination and belong daily in every diet. Although we are limited In the amount of fresh vegetables obtain­able in the fall and winter months, there are some available which of­fer many possibilities for salads. Cabbage, carrots, citrus fruits and apples are the most common. For a more substantial salad item,-use cottage cheese. It will also give you a goodly amount of calcium, needed for proper bone and tooth development.If your family has been shrunk by the fall here are two recipes espe­ cially designed for smaller families: Tomatoes Stuffed With Green Pepper Slaw. (Serves 2) Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each tomato. Remove seeds and part of the pulp. Sprinkle in­side with salt. Invert and chill. Fill with finely shredded cabbage com­bined with green pepper, moistened with a dressing made of 4 table­ spoons sweet cream, 2 teaspoons sugar, Ve teaspoon salt and 2 table­spoons vinegar. Green Bean Salad. (Serves 2) Place green stringless beans, cooked and chilled in individual let­tuce cups. Com- it bine I tablespoon J svinegar, % tea- spoon salt and pepper to taste. Beat with egg beater or shake in a jar until well blended. Mash 3 tablespoons Roquefort cheese and then add oil and vinegar mixture slowly, stirring until very smooth. Pour over beans and serve at once. Snrprise Vegetable Salad. Sficed boiled beets Sliced boiled string beans Sliced boiled carrots Boiled green peas Boiled lima beans French dressing ' Chopped chives Boiled potatoes Prepare and cook separately, in the usual manner, an equal quantity of all the vegetables mentioned in recipe. Boil potatoes with their jack­ets, peel while still warm and mari­ nate in french dressing while still warm. When ready to serve vege­tables, have them well chilled and arrange in layers in a large salad Lynn Says: Salad Notes: Ingredients for a salad should be large enough to retain their identity. It’s not a good idea to hide a vegetable the family does not like by chopping it very fine. Shred, but do not chop vegetables.Bimplest salads are the most attractive. A salad should taste as good as it looks. Toss ingredients lightly, never stir ambitiously. Dressing need not cover every piece. Salad greens should always be clean, crisp, fresh. Drain all vegetables thorough­ly, before using. Serve them on clean, well-chilled plates, as cold as possible.Vary salads from day to day. Try new combinations of color, vegetables and fruit. Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving MenuPan-Fried Liver and Onions Creamed Potatoes Parsleyed Carrots Apple, Carrot Salad Whole Wheat Bread Lemon Chiffon Pie Beverage bowl, starting with beets at the bot­tom, followed by lima beans, then string beans, next with carrots, fol­ lowed by peas. When all vegeta­bles are used, pour over thein a tart, well-seasoned french dressing. Crsv- er the whole with a layer of pota­ toes, being sure that all the peas are covered. Sprinkle top with fresh, chopped chives and serve. Greens, be they lettuce, romaine, chicory or escarole, need little else but a dressing for they are perfectly delicious just so and a splendid course for a heavy type of dinner: Salad With Egg Dressing, (Serves 6) 2 heads of lettuce 4 hard-boiled eggs % cup cream% cup lemon juice or cider vinegar Salt and pepper Prepared mustard Wash lettuce carefully and dry thoroughly. Put the yolks of the eggs through a ricer and let them drop to the bottom of a well-chilled salad bowl.. Add a little prepared mustard and stir with a wooden spoon, adding the cream gradually. Season to taste with the salt and pepper, then add lemon juice and vinegar. Add the lettuce, toss light­ ly and sprinkle the chopped whites of egg over all. Serve on cold plates. The use of cottage cheese with salads gives them a heartiness which is particularly necessary in the cooler weather. Here is a well- seasoned salad, pretty and colorful: Apple, Carrot, Cottage Cheese Salad (Serves 6)3 apples, coarsely diced 2 cups shredded raw carrot I tablespoon onion, finely minced1 cup cottage cheese H cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons lemon juice % teaspoon saltH teaspoon pepper Dice unpeeled apples and combine with grated car­ rot and onion. Add the cottage cheese blended with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well. Serve on let­ tuce. Molded Cranberry Salad. (Serves 8 to 10) pound cranberries I medium-sized apple, unpeeled I orange and rind 14 cup sugar ii teaspoon salt I package orange-flavored gelatin I cup hot water % cup cold water Vt cup chopped celery Pick over cranberries, wash and drain well. Grind cranberries, ap­ ple and orange (including rind), sav­ ing any liquid which remains. Stir in sugar. Cover and set aside while gelatin is dissolved in hot water. Add cold water and allow to become partly jellied, then add cranberry mixture and jelly. This may be poured either into a loaf pan or in­dividual molds rinsed with cold wa­ ter. Allow to jell, then unmold 0 0 lettuce.Sandwich Fillings Don’t forget that raw vegetables with all their good vitamins and minerals are wonderful as sandwich fillings. Grind raw spinach leaves with crisp bacon, hard-cooked egg, onion; moistened with mayonnaise. Or, combine equal parts of raw Car- rot and turnip and mix with chopped chives, peanuts and mayonnaise. This is good on French bread.

Whifancat Roger B. W bitman--1WNIT Features. Ton m ay not be able to replaoe worn or broken household equipm ent.’ This Is w ar. G orernm ent priorities come first. So take care of w hat you have . . . a s well as you possibly can. This column by the homeown* er's friend tells, you how. REMOVING STUMPS Question: What is the best way to dispose of tree stumps and roots permanently?Answer: Bore as many and as deep holes as you can in the stump — straight down — two-inch holes the full length of an auger will suffice. At a time when the wood is dry, fill and refill the holes with kerosene until the wood is im­ pregnated. Then set fire to it, be­ ing extremely careful when doing so. If the stump is near the house or valuable plantings, this method is too darigerous to use. Another meth­od is to saw the stump down below the level of the ground, and after boring the holes fill them with a strong, undiluted commercial “weed killer,” which is a preparation you can get at a garden supply store. This will work down into the roots and consume them, as well as the stump. Do not allow this weed killer to get on the grass, for it will kill all vegetation that it touches. It would be well to keep your pets away from it. Another method, but very much slower, is to saw the stump as I have mentioned, and then cover it with earth and keep it so covered . . . in time the earth will rot the stump. Stillanother method is to use a mechanical stump puller. There may be a man in your neigh­borhood who can do the job for you. Of course, the puller will leave a large hole in the ground. .. . . Cleaning Plaster Walls Question: You have said that tint­ ed plaster walls can be cleaned by brushing and with a vacuum, rather than by washing. Does this apply to kitchen walls that are quite greasy and blackened? Is casein paint sat­ isfactory for a kitchen? How should the wall be prepared? Answer: Because of the film of grease on kitchen walls, they should be washed in preparation for paint­ ing. Use washing soda or other grease cutter in the water, and al­low to dry thoroughly. The walls should be sized before painting. Ca­ sein paint is too absorbent to be satisfactory in a kitchen. I recom­mend a good grade of enamel over a coat or two of enamel undercoater; the surface will be so hard and glossy that dirt and grease cannot sink in.• . • CRACKED WINDOW SILLS Question: What would you suggest for cracked window sills? Answer: Small cracks can be filled with putty. Large ones can be filled with a thick mixture of fine sawdust and spar varnish. When dry, sand­paper them smooth.. . . Hard Water Crust Question: A blue enameled roast­ ing pan was used as an air moistener and kept filled with tap water. This was hard and the pan now has a heavy crust all over it. Scalding wa­ter breaks off chips of the crust. How can I get it all off?Answer: A sudden change in tem­ perature will take off the crust; for it is not attached very tightly. Fill the pan with boiling water and then, after emptying it, plunge it into cold water.* • * Decorating Chairs -Question: I would like to decorate chairs, tin and wooden ware, house ornaments, etc., according to the Pennsylvania Dutch method. What paints should be used for such work? Oil paints are too heavy, lacquer too thin. Answer: Artists’ oil paints gener­ ally are used for painting small or­naments. Your dealer in artists’ supplies can advise about thinning the paints.* • * Stained PorcelainQuestion: What can be done to remove stains from porcelain, ap­ parently caused by the sweat of a glass containing grape juice? Answer: Sweat or condensation have not caused the stain. Fruit acids cause permanent stains on por­ celain that is not acid resisting, and there is no way of removing them. 5 1 6 1 Sunflower QuiIt T 1HE “Sunflower” is one of the easiest of the quilt designs to make—the diamond-shaped pieces are easy to cut and a block works up quickly.

S O M B R E R O W.M.U.s e a v i c etW XLIFFO RD KNIGHT CHAPTER I We were agreed, that warm Oc­tober evening as we sat gazing down from the hills upon the twin­kling lights of Los Angeles, that the >tory of Elsa Chatfield should be written. Elsa, we thought, typified pomething eternal in the spirit of American youth—something so fas­ cinating to us older individuals that it should be set down as a part of the permanent record of the Ameri­ can scene. There was a difference of opin­ ion, however, as to where the story should begin. Dwight Nichols was for omitting all mention of Aunt Kitty and starting in boldly with the baby. “Babies are always good to open with. New life, you know. Every­ thing before them. The world and the devil. Of course, I’m not a writer, Barry, as you are; I’m only a sportsman.” Huntoon Rogers has since denied that he foresaw even the smallest part of the story which began that night in the hills overlooking the vast metropolitan area of Los An- .geles and had its end far down the iWest Coast of Mexico. And, of course, Dwight Nichols and I were merely talking in the air when we agreed that the story of Elsa Chat- field should be written, for the story then was only about to begin. “You know, Barry,” Dwight said, looking off over the vast meadow of twinkling lights below us, “I thought once that I understood women. But that was when I was younger. I could have done justice to Elsa then.” Margaret Nichols at this moment came out and joined us, sitting on the top step with her cigarette which she smoked lazily. It was one of those rare nights In Cali­ fornia when one could sit out of doors comfortably, and her bare arms and throat seemed to smolder whitely in the half light which shone from the living room win­ dows. There was a quality of ex­ quisiteness about Margaret that ex­plained Dwight; he had a passion for the exquisite, and Margaret loved him devotedly. Margaret now desired our company. “I don’t like the piano and the singing. Not now, anyhow,” she said. “Nobody can sing these hor­rible modern songs, if they really can be called songs. Did I inter­ rupt you, darlings? Forgive me and go right on talking.” “We were just talking, dear. Speculating about woman,” , said Dwight, lighting a fresh cigarette. “We mentioned Elsa Chatfield and then came to rest upon Aunt Kitty.” “Lovely old cat,” said Margaret. “Did you know her, Hunt?”“No, Margaret,” replied Rogers. "A plump, sleek tabby who sat & lifetime on silk cushions over in Pasadena, then at the end sank her claws in Elsa and died. Sie ought to have had a love affair— and a baby!” Dwight blew a cloud of ghostly smoke into the shadows and said that Elsa’s aunt had been in love once. Margaret was incredulous. “You didn’t know Sam Chatfield —Elsa’s father—did you, Hunt?” asked Margaret, turning to Rogers. Huntoon Rogers sajd that he had not. “I was right in thinking that you came into our circle after Sam fled. He was a small, round, red­ dish man who quite remarkably had no egotism. Dwight, I think, is a little taller than Sam. Any­ way, he bounced like a rubber ball when he walked, and he was some­ thing in a bank in Pasadena.“Sam Chatfield sat behind a huge mahogany desk all day and said no. That’s an awfully hard sort of job, don’t you think?” she said se­riously. “For just imagine men coming with ambition and hopes, or in desperate straits about their finances and needing money, and having to say no to them. Any de­ cent person would feel it dread­ fully. And, of course, Sam did, be­cause he was a decent sort, you know. He simply clutched decency to himself with all the passion of a fierce new love. Of course, to make up for it, Sam had to say yes when he was away from the bank, and so he never said no to anything that concerned Elsa or himself. Aunt Kitty was beyond his yes and no, because she was wealthy. "Then one day he fled, and they discovered that he’d said yes and not no to himself too often. Aunt Kitty quieted the loss at the bank with her own money, because there was family pride, you know. But you can imagine what that meant to Elsa. Her mother was dead. Either Elsa didn’t like Mexico, or Sam thought it best for Her to be up here—she did visit him, though, occasionally. Anyway, Elsa had to move in with Atmt Kitty and go on listening to Aunt Kitty talking, talk­ ing, talking. Poor Elsa! She was twelve then, and managed in a year or two to escape to school in the East. And after that—well, there was the baby. Sie was seventeen by Uiat time.” “But who is there who could pos­ sibly want to make away with Aunt Kitty—if that is what really hap­pened?” I asked, moved somewhat by what Huntoon Rogers had said before Margaret came out. Nobody could think of a reply at once, then Dwight’s chair stirred and he cleared his throat reluctant­ ly-“Well,” he began, “that, of course, is why there are detectives —like Hunt Rogers—” “Not detective, Dwight,” Rogers interrupted quickly. “I’ll admit that I’ve been drawn into more than my share of affairs, of that kind. I pre­ fer to be known, however, for what I am—namely, an humble profes­ sor of English literature.” “Sorry, Hunt. I didn’t mean any­thing.” “No apologies, Dwight; it’s not important. What were you going to say, though?” Again I thought I detected a re­ luctance in Dwight Nichols’ manner. “Oh—I’ve thought at times, since Kitty Chatfield’s death, what embar­ rassment an unimaginative sleuth could cause me. You see, I have a motive—” “A motive, darling?” Margaret’s voice held a startled note. “Yes. You see, that Cabazon property — Kitty Chatfield and I owned it in joint tenancy, with right of survivorship. It doesn’t matter now how the arrangement came about. But, when IDtty Chatfield “Lovely old eat,” said Margaret. died, it meant about two hundred thousand dollars to me. Isn’t that a motive?” “It’s a reasonable one, to be sure,” said Rogers. “Oh, I had a motive then, too,” exclaimed Margaret. “Of course, dear,” said Dwight. “What’s mine is yours.” “That’s not what I meant, dar­ling.” “What’s your motive, Margaret?” inquired Rogers. “Jealousy.”“Jealousy!” echoed Dwight. “You don’t mean—?”“I mean just that.” Margaret’s voice was firm. “I was so jealous of Kitty Chatfield I could have killed her!”A disturbance from the driveway interrupted our conversation. We went around to see what it meant, but before we reached the front of the house a flivver bleated weakly as if impatient at our slow coming. And there was Elsa climbing out of a most amazing contraption. It looked as if it had been stolen from a junk yard. A jagged Tent was in the top, a. piece of which waved grotesquely in the light stir of air. The engine had died with a hollow cough as we rounded the corner of the house, and the villain had climbed from under the wheel and was twisting the crank and grunt­ ing profanely as if to torture it into another try at life. “Pay the gentleman for me,” said Elsa to Dwight. “It’s two dollars and I haven’t it.” When the man had gone roaring indecently off down the hill, she explained; “He was such an intense man; I rode with him instead of in the shiny car the other taxi man had. I like intense people. It was. bumpy, but there was moonlight, and I didn’t mind.” She shook me warmly by the hand, murmured Huntoon Rog­ ers’ name when Margaret intro­duced him;, and then, with her arms linked in mine and Dwight’s most! confidingly, we went toward the house.“But where’s your car, Elsa?” asked Dwight.. “I sent it this morning to Jimmy j the Cheese.” She stopped short with | a burst of laughter conceived in a sudden little ecstasy of humor. "Fancy! I never thought of calling him that before! And I’ve known him for years too. To Mr. James Chesebro, Dwight, trustee,” she said pompously. Freeing her arms she drew in the air before her own beau­ tiful figure a great stomach and strutted in the grass. “He and I are through with each other now. We don’t have to hate each other any longer. We’re both glad, of course. Aunt Kitty cuts me loose today. I’m on my own.” There was an exuberance, an elation in her voice. The fact was thrilling to her. Dwight already had explained the arrangement. There had been no money she could count on from her father after he went to Mexico; Aunt Kitty had assumed her ex­penses. But at her death Elsa had been disinherited. “She gave her the income from the estate for a year from the date of her death,” Dwight had said, “knowing that Elsa ought to save something out of it, but darn well confident she wouldn’t.” Sounds of laughter came from the house as we mounted the steps and burst in upon the others. I lost, of course, the soft touch of Elsa’s hand upon my arm and the comfort of her nearness to me, for she flew to embrace one of the girls among the crowd of young people making merry in the living room. But not, however, before she had tossed to me over her shoulder the urgent command, “Barry, don’t go away tonight without me.” I have no doubt that Jimmy the Cheese, as Elsa called him that night, was relieved that the depart­ ed Aunt Kitty finally had cut loose her niece. An old ladies’ home, even though it were filled top and bottom with tea-and-toast old ladies, was a much easier task for a digni­ fied administrator, almost middle aged, than just Elsa. She had sent him her expensive motor car that morning, and a letter explaining: "You’re aware that Aunt Kitty didn’t expect me to have a cent left today. So I’m not disappointing her. I can’t .think of keeping anything my dear aunt’s money has paid for.” “And I haven’t,” said Elsa from her chair beside the piano, that eve­ ning she joined us at Dwight and Margaret’s. “Not a penny—or any­ thing her money has given me—” She stopped in vague alarm. She had not spoken the truth. The proc­ ess of her thought was visible In her face. “Except the clothes on my back.” Dismay was in her eyes. “And—” She stood up and tugged first at her cuifs, then at the shoul­ der of her dress. “I'll not keep these any longer. “Do them all up in a nice package, Dwight, and send them tomorrow to Mr. Chesebro, with love from Elsa. Be sure to put in the love.” She smiled down upon Dwight as he gathered the small bundle, one tawny, beautifully tanned arm point ing to where the ring had rolled. “And, Margaret, dear, please get me one of your old suits for a work­ing girl.” Margaret arrived instantly with a heavy apricot negligee and the work­ ing girl suit was searched out within the seclusion of Margaret’s bed­room. Huntoon Rogers is a large man, probably six feet tall and - with a frame in proportion. He has- mtld blue eyes, such as I have never seen elsewhere; his ears are prominent, as is his nose, the latter not to his disadvantage. The blond hair is be­ ginning to thin on top. He looked up at me after a- few moments and spoke so quietly that nobody else in the room could hear him. “She hated her Aunt Kitty, didn’t she? Bitterly.” “There’s no doubt of it.” He went on playing. He displayed a remarkable skill. If I had not stood watching the dexterity of his left hand, I’d have thought he was playing a two-handed composition.“What did Aunt Kitty die of?” he asked, glancing up again.“An overdose of morphine.” His flying fingers executed a long run. “Was she an addict?”“Yes.” “Self administered?” he inquired, finishing the piece with a restful chord. “The police said yes; the district attorney’s office, as you are aware, has doubts.” "It’s a stone rolled away from the tomb,” said Elsa, full of classical allusions, her quiet voice devoid, however, of the theatrical. “It’s Tantalus fed at last and Sisyphus at the top of the hill. The dead hand has let go its terrible grip.” She drew her head back and breathed immensely of the moonlit night. . “Barry, oh, you can’t imag­ ine, even with that trick author’s imagination of yours, what it means to be free! Free of Atmt Kitty and the centuries of ‘No’ and ‘Cannot’! It’s freedom, Barry, when I thought freedom had forsaken me.”WO BE CONTINUED) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY!

THE SACBEDNESS OF HCMAN LIFE LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:13; M atthew 9:21-26, 38-45. GOLDEN TEXT—W hosoever hateth his brother is a m urderer.—I John 3:15. Hupian life is sacred—and there is a very important reason why that is true. It is not because of any law of man, but finds its foundation in the fact that God created man in His own likeness and image. Be­ cause that is true, no man has any rignt to take the life of another for any cause except at the direct com­ mand of God. Only by the orderly process of law for the protection of society and in accordance with the Word of God may there be any such action by man toward man; Both of these truths are declared in Scripture in God’s covenant with Noah (Gen. 9:5, 6), which was made possibly a thousand years before the Ten Commandments were given to Moses. One cannot deny that human life is held rather cheaply in many places today. War helps to create that attitude on the part of nations which makes them count boys and girls, yes, mere babies, as “war ma­ terial.”But not only in war is life care­ lessly destroyed. We decry the “slaughter of innocents” on the highway, unnecessary death in in­ dustry, yes, even in the home. I. The Prohibiuun of Mnrder (Exod. 20:13). The word “kill” in this command­ment is one which means a violent and unauthorized taking of life, and is therefore more properly translat­ ed “murder.”Not all killing is murder. A man may kill another entirely accidental­ ly, or he may be the duly consti­ tuted legal officer carrying out the law of the land in taking the life of one who has forfeited his right to live because he has slain another. There is also the right of self- defense, be it individual or collec­ tive as in war. But these are the only exceptions; let us not attempt to justify any other.Murder is more prevalent than most of us suppose. Some years ago. we were told. that there was a murder every forty minutes in our land. With the general increase of crime, and of drunkenness (which so often incites murder), the cur­ rent figures would probably show an increase. Do not forget the deaths, the de­struction of life, by avoidable auto­ mobile accidents. Some of these were really murder because the one responsible drove with defective brakes, dangerous tires, or while he was intoxicated. Add to these the deaths in industry caused by failure to provide proper safeguards or healthy working conditions, and by the exploitation of child labor, and we say that we should cry aloud, “Thou shalt do no murder.” H. The Provocation to Murder (Matt 5:21,22).Murder Ends its provoking cause in the heart of man. Our Lord was concerned about correcting the de­ sires rather than to apprehend the offender after the act had been com­ mitted. It is the better way, and the more effective one.In this matter of murder, Jesus cut right through the outward as­ pects of the matter and pointed out that an angry hatred in the heart is the root of all murder. If we hate, we have murder in our hearts. Cir­ cumstances may hinder its fulfill­ment, but the danger is always there until we remove the cause. Just being angry—calling our brother “raca” (the modem equiv­alent of which is “nobody there”), and calling him “thou fool,” which classifies him as "morally worth­ less”—these are the three dread­ ful downward steps to murder. And they begin in anger. May God help those of us who have strong feelings that we may not yield them to the devil in such anger against our brother! IH. The Prevention of Murder (Matt. 5:23-26, 38-45). Prevention with. God means more than putting up a barrier to keep us from killing. He deals with the heart, and thus puts the whole life right. It is not even a question of how we may feel against our broth­ er. If he has aught against us we are to do all we can to win him. He may be unreasonable, grasping, and unfair. However, the spirit that will win him is not that of retaliation or sullen submission to the inevitable, but rather a free and willing going even beyond what is required. It is clear from other scriptures that our Lord does not mean that wicked and unscrupulous men are to be permitted to defraud and destroy God’s people. At the same time, we must be careful not to explain away the heart of our Lord’s inter­pretation of this great command­ment. We who believe in Christ are to be in deed as well as word the sons of our heavenly Father (v. 45), lov­ing not only those who are kind to us. but even our enemies.

TN A recent piece dealing with * Frankie Sinkwich, top college football player of 1942 who signed recently with the Detroit Lions, we were guilty of underestimating the educational and cultural aspects of the National Football league. We said that “there have been plenty of big names in college ranks who failed in their professional ca­ reers. In fact, most of the top pro­fessional teams consist of individu­ als who never bothered going to col­ lege.” We were wrong. Just how wrong is proved by a gently remonstrative letter from George Strickler, able director of public relations for the league. His correction: “Since Dick SchweidIer left the Bears several seasons ago there has not been a single player in our league who has not had three years of college football experience. This fall a number of promising young­ sters, whose experience had been limited to high school football, went to the various camps and as far as I know now—pending a final check on the approved - rosters—there is only one left. “All other players now active in the league have been to college. Last year, 91 per cent of our players had college degrees.” We apologize to the erudite play­ers of the National league. How­ ever, we were never guilty of under­ estimating their football playing abilities. Football’s Future Further word comes from Maj. John L. Griffith, commissioner of athletics for the Western conference, who is exceedingly optimistic con­ cerning the future—immediate and distant—of college football. College football, according to Ma­ jor Griffith, has been kicked around since Pearl Harbor by “peacetime enemies and ether self-appointed pallbearers,” but has survived its various acid tests with flying colors. He feels that the 1943 season is des­tined to be one of the most suc­ cessful. According to Major Griffith, foot­ball’s greatest victory since the United States entered the war-has MAJ. JOHN L. GRIFFITH been over influences, both within and without colleges, that would banish the game from the American scene even in peacetimes. “Many of the old peacetime argu­ ments against football have been re­vived since Pearl Harbor,” Major Griffith recalls. “One of the fal­lacious arguments of the opposition was that if a handful of boys were not allowed to play in intercollegiate competition—such as football, bas­ ketball, track and baseball—more students would get a chance to par­ticipate in widespread intramural activities. The Old Argument “Since Pearl Harbor this argu­ment has popped up to show that if football, which admittedly condi­ tions varsity team members, were abandoned on an intercollegiate scale, more of the men students awaiting call by the armed forces would benefit physically from de­emphasized intramural sports. “The argument is no oetter in wartime than it was before the war. Such schools as Michigan, Minne­ sota, Indiana, Purdue and others which are carrying on their inter­ collegiate schedules have intramu­ ral programs just as comprehensive —if not more so—than schools which have abandoned intercollegiate pro­grams.” The “give-the-game-back-to-the- students”’> cry is little more-than sound and fury. It is recalled that at Harvard university, where 1943 intercollegiate football was dropped, students, organized their own team ind challenged Yale. The thought wasn’t original with Major Griffith, but ,he summarized it excellently when he noted that “football and other intercollegiate sports were started originally by stu­ dents. College administrations later assumed supervision over the games, to exercise a much-needed control.” , The point is a good one. Inter­collegiate athletics were not a facul­ ty affair in the beginning. College officials began to supervise football when it was in the doldrums—when vicious mass plays were-accounting for far too many casualties.

John H Sprinkle, Republican, defeated C. L.JThompson, Democtat, for sher. iff, bg‘a good majority. Damnation of Uqnor Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddeoite. N. C. That liquor is a damnation to any man who makes it, any man who sells it, and any man who drinks it, surely cannot be' denied. It damns him morally and spiritu­ ally, regardless of how he deals with and handles the cursed stuff, and will damn him eternally un­ less he repents with a Sodly sorrow and God forgives and saves him. It injures the health of all those who drink it, as alcohol is a deadly poison, brings oq disease aod death follows as a consequence It puts its victims In the grave Iqr millions. Liquor, is death to the body, death to the morals, and death to the soul. The man that makes liquor is a murderer; the man that sells liauor is a murderer; and the man that drinks liquor is a murderer. He murders the paace and joy, con­ tentment, happiness and prosper­ ity of homes. He murders the love of husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, and the living tie that binds them to. gether* He murders the finest of manhood and womanhood, and the best of principals.. He murders the best and finest traits of life. He likewise murders the best, finest and most precious and priceless op­ portunities that God affords men, burying such opportunities which never revive again. He murders the pocketbooks of millions of peo­ ple making of them and their lov­ ed ones paupers and outcasts, beg­ gars and vagabonds oftentimes. Yes, men that make, sell and drink liquor are murderers. They kill and slay their fellowmen, and kill and get killed themselves. Think of the thousands of wrecks on our highways, and the tens of thousands that get killed as a re­ sult, year after vear, on the ac­ count of liquor! Think of the thousands who drink the cursed stuff, and shoot, cut and kill their fellowmen in different ways! Think of the thousands that commit sui­ cide on the account of drunkenness or that drink themselves tc death, which is self mutder! Indeedmany a man ends his own life by drink­ ing. Let me repeat, he simply commits self murder; for when a man forms a habit that kills him he suiely is a suicide. Liquor oftimes murders all that is good, noble, high and holy in a man’s life, or much of it to say the best, and sends him down life’s pathway a physical, moral, mental, financial and spiritual wreck, and as a pauper, begger, a thief, or a murderer. Absolutely, positively, certainly! Liquor breaks more hearts, bli­ ghts more lives, wrecks more homes commits more "crime, fills more pri­ son cells, digs mote graves and damns more souls than any one thing that I know of. Who can afford to be a friend ta this damn able, cursed stuff? If there is one instance where it has saved a life, on the other hand it has killed a thousand. Who on earth can af­ ford to cast his vote for it? Wbo can afford to make it, sell it, drink it? Liquor has destroyed more lives than war. Some say more than war, famine and pestilence com bined. Liquor is no respector of person, It wilt go to the highest thrones and drag down the mightiest mon archs and rulers and cast them in to a drunkard’s grave and hell. It will play havoc among the rich and poor, the high and the low, the Ig norant and the educated, the strong and the weak, and all classes, col­ ors and conditions of mankind. It will pull a man down from the bighek and most trustworthy po. sition and make a wreck, a rascal, and a k nave of trim. It will rob a man of bis good name, which is “ rather to be chosen than great riches,’’ rob bim of bis noble man­ hood, rob him of bis golden oppor !unities in life, rob bim of bis God given privilege of being au ideal and noble citizen, rob his purse, rob his wife and children of food and raiment, and of their right to peace, joy ond happiness and bring the family to poverty and want, to rags and tatters, dirt, filth and dire distress. Finally, and most tragic of all, it robs a man of heaven, a mansion, a crown and everlasting life. How cursed; how exceeding­ ly damnable, Is liquor. Liquor turns men into demons. They curse the bitterest oaths, use the vilest language, fight like woi. ves and tigers, and kill like panth ers. Liquor makes men abnse, curse and beat their wives, whip and abuse their children and spend the money their families sorely used. Liquor causes many a dear mother’s heir to turn gray prema .turely, brings wrinkles to her face, and sends her to an early grave. Liquor takes the roses out of many edear wife’s cheeks, brings on pale­ ness, sickness and depth. Liquor robs her of her appetite, robs her of sweet sleep, wrecks and shatters her nerves, and brings her with a broken heart to the grave. This is indeed a dreadful and fearful in­ dictment to bring against liquor, bnt it is every word true. How on earth can a gentleman run on a wet ticket for office, and how can ladies and gentlemen go to the polls and vote for and elect him? Can you answer the question? How dare any man, any woman, who profess to be a Christian, who claim to love God and all human­ ity, who have their names enrolled upon some church record, go to the polls and vote wat? Surely they shatter the confidence of the peo­ ple, which they had in them, whin they do so. Liquor is called “ King Alcohol.” Whoever named it, named it well. It is a mas.erful and' murderous king. It masters and murders its multitudes. It is a tyrant king, making poor slaves of its subjects, holding them in its iron grip like a vice. It is unmerciful, wicked and mean. Liquor regards no heart aches, poverty, sighs, tears, want and wretchedness It cares not for caskets, funeral processions, graves and damned souls. O liquor, li­ quor, cursed liquor. How every true Christton hates it; and how every hnman on earth should hate it!. God hates it. Hisboly word is tremendously opposad to it. Lis­ ten to this; ' “ Woe unto him that giveth bis neighbor drink, that putteth thy bottle to him.” By this we see that God pronounces a woe upon those who put tha bottle to the lips of otlieis, either by mak- ibg it so thep get it, or by selling it to them, or by giving it to them. And it is a fearful thing to live un­ der the woes of God instead of His wonderful blessings. The only safe thing in regard to liquor is to be a -total abstainer. Touch not, handle not, drink not the damnable poison. And warn everybody against it. you can. As good citizens, as honorable men and women, as good parents, as godly professors of Christianity, let’s support the cause of prohibit­ ion. We can do this with our ear nest prayers, our tears, our money, our influence. Let’s stand against liquor with al’. our might. Let’s hate it, fight it, vote against it; We should crush'its venemous head as we wonld a verp poisonous, dan­ gerous, sly and treacherous, mean, deadly viper.' It is worse than a viper. It kills the body and damns the soul. No drunkard shall in­ herit the kingdom of God., O, Io be shut out of heaven—beautiful, wonderful, peaceful, glorious, mar­ velous, happy heaven- how awful! Why The Wet Blanket? For a full vear now we have had good news from all battle fronts. It was just one year ago that the Ger­ mans were driven from the south­ ern industrial section of Stalingrad into the barren steppes outside the dty. The British Eighth Army was blasting its way through the mine strewn defense line on the EI Alamein desert front in Egypt to open a passage for tanks and be­ gin the long pursuit of Rommel a long the north African coast. The big sea and air battle off Guadal­ canal resnlted In a decisive Japanese defeat and started McArthur on his advance in the South Pacific. Octo­ ber of 1942 was the turning point In World War II. That month ended a long and unbroken list of axis successes and marked the be­ ginning of an equally impressive list of allied victories. In face of all that, we are being warned against optimism. Army and navy men are brought to Wash, ington to paint gloomy pictures of bloody battles still ahead. We understand that. Wedon’t deny it But why the wet blanket? AU signs point to certain victory. After having taken a licking everywhere during the hrst part of the war, we feel,the United Nationshavea right to feel good about war’s progress. So we are glad to find that there is optimism also among higher-ups who have sources of information that lend weight to their opinions. Jan Massaryk, Czechoslovakian minister of foreign affaits, is one of these. In New York the other day Masaryk told reporters that the German high command knows it is beaten and is trying to prolong the war to get more favorable condi­ tions by provoking disunity among the United Nations, and added: “The European was is definitely In its last phase; I wouldn’t say a period ot time because many ’ifs’ and delays may intervene, but it things go as they are going, I think the end is in sight.” As long as the good news keeps coming, we reserve the right to feel good about it, all releases from the Office of War Information to the contrary notbwithstanding.—Stat­ esville Daily. SkdfieM News.

Some of our faimers are market­ ing tobacco this week. Liquor shuts its millions out ' of heaven’s gates, away froth saints and sages, the angels and archan­ gels, and the godly loved ones gone before, and those who may follow afterwards. It shuts its millions away from Jesus, away from the songs and the shouts of the redeem, ed, and those who have washed their robes and made ' them white the blood of the Lamb. Not only does it do this, but it sends them down to dark despair, away from all that is beautiful, lovely, glor ions and happv, unto the place where there is “ weeping and gnash ing of teeth.” .Alas! -Seut to bell through Iiq iorl 0, the damnation of liquor. Yankee Boreaocrats A- Seen Along Main Street broad Reports from Washington indi­ cate that the secret report to Con­ gress by the five Senatorswbotrav eled around the world visitiqg the foreign fighting fronts may have strong repercussions in two direc­ tions: 1. Congressislikely to demand basic changes in the handling of lend-lease, and in future will keep closer tabs upon the way in which the Roosevelt administration i s handling both money and foreign relations. 2. The reports of tbe Senators, as tbe information reaches across the country to the people, many strong. Iy affect the Fourth Term ambi­ tions of the president. Americans have been able to see with their own eyes and feel in their own stomachs the bungling of bureaucracy 0 n the home front. But tbe foreign fronts were further away. And until now even Con gress has been dependent upon in­ formation given out by the Admin­ istration on the way lend-laase money was spent, on what promis. es OWI and other government a. gencies were making abroad And these statements, of course always said that everything was going well. Based upon this same informa, tion, or lack of information, tbe White House “palace guard,” which b..s been trying to set the stage for another “draft" of Presi dent Roosevelt, has built its cam­ paign upon the statement that the President is necessary to keep every thing running overy the world, Now the five Senators — three Democrats and two Republicans— come back hopping mad. Infor­ ma ion that-has leaked ont from their secret reports to the Senate indicate that tbe same waste, mis­ management a n d bureaucratic squabbling that is taking place in OPA, OWI, etc , is taking place in the management ot our foreign affairs. Incidentally, the Senators uuani. mously praised tbe way in which our generals and admirals are fight­ ing the war in foreign fields s dis. tinct from the civilian management- Straw In The Wind The House of Representatives, which is ''democratic” by some 10 votes, beard some news last week that it did not cheer. Representative Miller of Connec­ ticut, arose and announced that 143 of the 169 towns and cities in Con­ necticut held their local elections, with the Republican Party carrying 127 out ot the 142 town and cities. The industrial city of Norwalk, un­ der a Democratic mayor for four terms, went Republican by 3 .0 0 0 3 ,0 0 0 votes, while the indestrialcity of Bristol elected a Republican may or handily. Representative Lambertson, com­ menting on the Connecticut elec­ tions, declared: “ And two years ago Connecticut’s House delega­ tion was solidly New Deal ” How t'mes do change!

Oxford Orphanage Gives 190 To Service The Oxford Oxphanage at Ox­ ford, North Carolina, has a record of several years of service to tbe children of North Carolina. Over five thousand have been cared for and trained Its ,graduates and former pupils are in all walks of life and there is no record of a former pupil having been convict­ ed and sentenced for committing a major crime. It is the oldest' Or­ phanage in tbe State and receives children other than those of mem­ bership of the supporting order. At tbe present time less than' fifty per cent of the population of tbe Orphanage is of Masonic parentage. The home possesses valuable build­ ings, grounds and equipment: and has no ooerating deficit for several years. The annual budget for the Or­ phanage calls for an expenditure of $170,0 0 0 .0 0 . This provides shelter, clothing, and food, recreation, heat, light books, school supplies, health program, staff of traiued workers, vocational training in several de­ partments, laundrv, repairs aqd up­ keep to grounds, buildings and equipment, and expetienced case work for a family of 31 3 children. Superintendent C. K, Proctor an­ nounces that the sum of $10,000 0 0 is needed this year for opperating expences in order to balance the philanthropy—it is an investment in tbe lives of North Carolina boys and girls who would not otherwise have a chance. It pays to the State and its citizenship the high dividends in character and trained young people. It is an opportunity today for North Carolinacittzens to express in a substantial way thelr desire to help others. The orphanages of the State use the Thanksgiving season as an oc­ casion to appeal to the citizens of tbe State for much needed assist­ ance. Tbe Superintendent of the Oxford Orphanage announces that the borne is open for visitors each day, and hundreds of North Caro­ lina citizens visit this historic spot every year. .THEY CANT TAKE . / YOUR IOME ITISO N I 1.

She explains the situation to her Iriendt Barry. While they are talking, Elsa Chat* field, a niece of Aant Klttyr drives up. Elsa had been disinherited at Annt Kit­ ty’s death. Hontoon Rogers, a dctective, asks what Annt Kitty died of. He is told an overdose of morphine, bat that the district attorney's office had their doubts as to whettter the morphine was self* administered. Elsa, who admitted that she hated her Annt Kitty, was “glad to he free of her and the centuries of no and cannot.** Beed Barton, one of the last to see Aunt Kitty alive, was said to have had a motive. CHAPTER n The tires rippled on the pavement as we dropped down off the hills be­ hind Hollywood arid came presently to Laurel Canyon. Other cars flashed past. Laughter, song, earnest voices in wisps and snatches fell upon our ears and were swept away, but in none was there the note of deadly earnestness that vibrated in Elsa’s voice. We had started o& from Dwight’s amid laughter, Elsa in her working girl suit, which proved to be one of Margaret’s street dresses. She car­ ried an overnight bag the lightness of which she explained by saying: "Just pajamas, Barry. I have to have something.” We had moved off down the curving driveway and en­ tered the road which descended Hol­ lywood’s backdrop of hills. She was very sure, this young woman with the almost golden hair, and eyes I believed to be gray, and which Dwight called blue. "Put me down anywhere on Holly­ wood .Boulevard,” said Elsa. We had emerged from the winding can­ yon road and were speeding into Hollywood. "I start from there.” "It’s eleven o’clock,” I reminded her. "It doesn’t matter. Time never meant anything to me.” And so I dropped her on the boule­ vard. She flashed me a smile, pat­ ted my cheek with a soft, caressing hand, and skipped out to the side­ walk in that working girl suit and carrying the overnight bag with just pajamas, because she had to have something. The crowded sidewalks swallowed her up. I got into a traf­ fic snarl. After a while it was bro­ ken up and I moved on. Near Vine Street the crowd opened for a brief moment on the sidewalk, and there went Elsa, the working girl suit and the overnight bag. Then crowd, night, and the moving traffic contrived to shut her wholly from sight, and I drove onward re­ flecting upon things like bravery and courage and marveling at what we call youth. Wondering, too, about Aunt Kitty's overdose of morphine. For the district attorney, who was an old friend of mine, had asked me if I wanted to try my hand at the problem. One usually dashes into a railway terminal. In the taxicab as one approaches, the demoralizing dis­ covery is made that it- lacks but three minutes, until the 4:36 is due to leave, or the train for the White Mountains, or Seattle, or wherever it is you are going. Bynotw aiting for your change, commandeering a red cap and prodding him along, you gain the gate just in time to be num­ bered among the passengers. It is aU right, of course, if you have the sporting instinct. Only fixed-ideas occupy the mental processes once you enter the terminal. You grasp thoughts like luggage, tickets, gate, kiss somebody good-bye; and your legs do the rest. I had just seen my sister and her two boys 0 8 for New York. I had driven them down in my own car, so there had been four minutes in­ stead of three, and the boys had en­ tered into the spirit of the thing. Therefore, we made the gate with a full minute to spare, which accounts for the word Anne was able to put in about Reed Barton. "Where?” I asked, turning to stare back through the crowd which had closed in behind us? “Over by the information booth. Here, kiss me good-bye, quick! Don’t forget to write.” The gate slammed and they all went running down the platfor-m, boys, Anne, red caps, boiling and bobbing in a last melee. The fact that Beed Barton was standing still had caught Anne's at­ tention. He would be doing just that in the station when others'were rushing about like ants in a disturbed anthill. "I try to live with- the fundamen­ tals," he had said one night at Dwight’s. “Simple things are more satisfactory. The world is befuddled with needless things, with complexi­ ties. They are so many that there is no longer room in life to live. I must have time for the contempla­ tion of beauty.” “Finding beauty?” I asked, slap­ ping him on the shoulder. He turned his gaze upon m e, reaching slowly for my hand and said: “I’ve just seen one of our slaves off for Mazatlan—Chesebro’s slave. A mining engineer.” Somehow his words brought back that dreamy, sun-baked town far down the western coast of Mexico, and a vague wind of prescience stirred uneasily within me as at the prospect of some horrible thing. It was one of those strange,, unaccount­ able experiences; it caused an in­ ward shudder which Reed Barton detected, for he looked at me in­ quiringly. But, instead, he asked, "Can you give me a lift out to Holly­ wood?" "Yes, glad to have your compa­ ny.” We walked out to the car and climbed in. "Living in Hollywood now, Reed?” I asked as we rolled on out Stmset Boulevard. “Yes, since father-^died, in Pasa­ dena.” I didn’t say anything more just then, remembering the shock of his father’s suicide. Beaten and penni­ less- after a lifetime of comfort, the soft-spoken, courteous old gentleman had leaped into the Arroyo Seco from the Colorado Street bridge. "Oh," he said after a moment, “you asked me at the station if I were finding beauty. I’ve found her.” He motioned with his fingers as if he would wipe out the miles of pavement, the street lights, the De­ cember night itself, and bade me contemplate an address in Holly­ wood. “It’s only a step or two off the boulevard. The place smells a little. They all do, with the cabbage H 44Put me down anywhere in Holly­ wood Boulevard.” of yesteryear. And of course there's chintz—” “There, too, is the haunt of beau­ ty?” “Chesebro sent me with some pa­ pers for her to sign. Had to do with her aunt’s estate. But it was diffi­ cult to track her. She’d dropped out of sight, and I’d been hunting her for several weeks.”. I made mental note of the address as Reed Barton went on talking. "Ink on her fingers. Some on her nose too. Hair—you know how it would be—I mean, beauty won’t yield even to disorder. That’s Nature’s way. But the color —I’m still trying to decide what it is. Drawing like mad. There were sketches all over the place. CSever things commercially. They’ll get by easily. Probably make her a living. She signed up the things I brought without looking at them. 'Get out!’ she said. T ell Jimmy the Cheese (meaning my boss), to let me alone.’ ” I pulled into a parking lot at a restaurant on Vine Street. I was. hungry. The excitement of getting a woman off on a long journey is fa­ tiguing. Reed Barton said he wasn't really hungry, but he went in with me. "Hello,” called a voice, from a booth. Huntoon Rogers was sitting alone over the dessert of a late din­ ner. “Not brooding, are you, Hunt?” I inquired lightly, for there was a glumness about him. I introduced Reed Barton. “No-o,” he said hesitantly. "Sit down and let me enjoy your com- pany.” •‘What’s the trouble?” "Theme papers,” he said with a wry smile. “They get me down sometimes and I'm driven to ex­ tremes. Therefore, I spent the after­ noon looking over the files in the Katherine Chatfield case.” ■" Reed Barton shot a quick glance sit Rogers but said nothing. “Find anything to interest you? 1 "Yes. And^no. It’s one of those cases you keep coming back to, won­ dering what the answer is.” Reed Barton ate mechanically, like a man in a mild trance. “Reed was telling me about Elsa Chatfield as we drove out from town,” I said to Rogers. “You know her, Professor Rog­ ers?” Reed inquired quickly. “I’ve met her.” "Interesting, isn’t she?” He sketched briefly what he had told me on the .way out.. "You know,” he concluded, “‘even when they clutch economic independence to their blessed little bosoms they haven’t got all there is in life. Not even half. They’ve only got the begin­ ning." W.N.U.s t a v i c e At the time it didn’t occur to me that.R.eed Barton had never heard of the baby. I supposed, of course, he had, for he Imew Elsa’s friends. But it was revealed subsequently that, during the height of the gos­ sip, he was in Mexico. The conversation came back to Aunt Kitty Chatfield. Rogers asked if there had been any physical re­ semblance between Elsa and her aunt. “None whatever,” answered Reed Barton. "That is, as I remember Katherine Chatfield. I never saw the two side by side, however. As a matter of fact, I had never met Elsa until today. She must have been at home that night her aunt died, for I remember that the maid asked me which Miss Chatfield I wished to see.” “You were there that night?” in­ quired Rogers, his mild blue eye» coming to rest upon Reed Barton’s face. "Yes. You see, I’m one of Chese- bro’s slaves. At times only his er­ rand boy, although I’m supposed to be something of a mining engineer/ But I am required to run a great many personal errands for Chese­ bro. I think I took M iss: Chatfield a book—something that had inter- ested Chesebro, and which he want­ ed her to read too.” "I see,” said Rogers. “And she died that night?” “Yes. She killed herself some time that night.” Rogers was silent for a moment, then he looked at me. “There’s on* chap from the police department in Pasadena whose report interested, me, Madison. He says that he smelled chloroform faintly when he went into the room to investigate. That was several hours afterward. No one else smelled it, however. It might have been ah overactive imagination, for there was no odor of it noted in the autopsy re­ port. But chloroform is peculiar in that respect; the odor is not neces­ sarily present even at autopsy in a death from chloroform.” “Yes, of course,” I said. “You’re not by any chance think­ ing that Katherine Chatfield was murdered, Professor Rogers?” in­ quired Reed Barton. Rogers smiled faintly. “I have no opinion, Mr. Barton. The case has been closed for over a year now. Who am I to stir it up at this time? The police were satisfied that it was suicide; there were no fingerprints, except her own, on the hypodermic syringe she used, or on the bottle in which she kept her sup* ply.” “I guess I was one of the last to see her alive,” said Reed Barton after ashort silence, looking beyond Rogers to a group making merry in an opposite booth. “I’ve since been glad it wasn't murder. The police might have made it uncomfortable for me; they could have saddled a motive on me that I couldn’t have denied. Because Katherine Chat­ field killed my father just as much as if she had pulled • trigger. Things were looking up, you know. Father had struggled all through the worst of the depression to keep things together; he’d managed somehow to make the interest pay­ ments to her. She held a mort gage, you know, on all he had. Even as little as a two months’ extension would have seen him out of the woods. But—you know, there’s no Shylock like a woman Shylock—her pound of flesh must come bom the heart. And—so,” he shrugged his shoulders, "father jumped.” He went on after a moment: “The po­ lice could have said I hated her. But I don’t Uiink I did.” Dwight Nichols tapped the ash from his cigarette and looked away through the gathering dusk across the vast Pacific into which the sun’s dark red ball had sunk. The air was humid; small waves lapped wetly on the damp sand. Indeed sr all-pervading was the feeling of wet­ ness that I fancied I -could push off from the veranda rail of the beach club, where Dwight, Huntoon Rogers and I sat, and swim out across the lawn. Two screaming children had been engaged in a feud on the beacb and the mother with difficulty wa4 now bringing them toward the club house. Dwight seemed more inter­ ested in them at the moment than in my remark, about Kitty Chatfield. for he drew twice on his cigarett* before he replied: “Oh, I should say that-Katherine Chatfield might have been forty-one or two when she died. She was not old.’* “According to the files,” Huntoon Rogers said, coming to life after long contemplation of the sea, "she was forty years and ten months old." “But Elsa—” I began. “I am coming to her. We are al­ ways! getting back to Elsa. There was hew blood with Elsa’s mother. It was an alien strain to the Chat- fields—new and fresh and vigorous, like a clear mountain stream- flow­ ing into a sluggish river. Sam Chat­ field married his stenographer. That sort of thing is heroic. It does vio­ lence to family traditions; it puts a terrific strain on family pride, but biologically it is a good thing, pro­ vided it doesn’t become a habit Sam didn’t reason things out quit« like that He loved the girl, which is much simpler, and so he m ar ried her.

THE SANCTITY OF THE HOME LESSON TEXT-Emias 20:1*; Matthew 5:21-30; Mark 10:2-12.GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed are the pure In heart: for they shall see God.—Matthew 5:8. As the divinely appointed center of man’s life, the home holds a place of such importance that it is the special target of Satan’s offen­ sive. That has always been true, but it seems that in recent years the onslaught against the home has been intensified. Books, plays, movies, magazines, all contribute their filthy efforts to break down all sense of moral re­ sponsibility. Sex is magnified, and not in any useful or normal sense, but rather for the stimulating of un­ holy desires and purposes, the breaking down of Christian stand­ ards of living, and the ultimate pros­ titution of the most sacred of all human ielationships to the lowest level os which animals might well be ashamed. All this means that this lesson should be taught with a holy bold­ ness and plainness which will make it effective for God in our homes. We do not like to talk about adul­ tery and related sins. We must speak with care asd tact, but per­ haps the time has come for some straightforward deuling with an un­ pleasant situation. I. Protect the Parity of the Home (Exod. 20:14; Matt. 5:27-30). Any violation of the divine plan for the marriage of one man and one woman, in loving communion for the founding and maintenance of the home, is a direct violation of the law of God. It is also a violation of the law of man. It brings serious results in the destruction of the home, and in the ruin of individual life—physical, iporal and spiritual. The words of Jesus broaden the interpretation of the commandment to cover all sexual impurity in thought, word, or deed. We are to be firm and definite in our dealing with this temptation to moral uncleanness even though it be as painful as tearing out an eye or losing a hand. The command here is not necessarily to be interpreted literally. Tearing out an eye will not help if there is lust in the heart. The point is, go to the root of the matter, and get rid of it even if it hurts. Most of us are far too easy on our sinful impulses.. We dally with them when we should destroy them. II. Beeognize Marriage as a Di­ vine Institation (Mark 10:2-8). The Pharisees, who had devised some ingenious schemes for getting rid of an undesired wife, wanted to get Jesas involved in the question. They put him up against Moses who had allowed divorce. Jesus made it clear that this was not in accord with God’s plan and only took place because of their sin­ ful hardheartedness. As a proper background for the discussion of divorce He set up the divine origin of marriage. He made it clear that marriage was ordained by God, and that it involves a holy union of two individuals which makes them one. AU those who look forward to mar­ riage should realize that it is not a casual thing, or a merely temporary legal contract. It is a union for life—be it for better or worse, in sickness or health, in prosperity or adversity. AU who are married" should highly regard their sacred vows. The high place of marriage in Christian teaching dignifies that re­ lationship and denies the mislead­ ing and destructive theories of men. m . FoHow God’s Law on Divwce (Mark 10:9-12). . Failure to observe God’s law in' these matters May involve a person in the guilt of gross sin.. This pas­ sage and others teach that divorce is to be permitted on the one ground 6 f adultery (Matt. 5:32). Divorce and remarriage . other than on grounds permitted by God involves the parties in the sin , of adultery. Men may make laws based on the civil contract of. mar­ riage which provide differently, but man cannot remove marriage -from its place as a divine institution, nor can he add to or take away from God’s law concerning it. Aware, as we are, of the laxness of some branches of the church in such matters, and the almost entire lack of standards in the world, we cannot but present the plain, teach­ ings of our Lord and urge every reader, to follow the commandment of God’s Word. There can be no question that di­ vorce is a major evil in our day. Statistics are positively shocking, but they are cold and quickly for: gotten. But who can fail to see, and who can forget, the awful woe brought into American home life by divorce. Bad as it is, the awful effect on: parents is nothing compared to the nervous, moral and spiritual shock which comes-to children in broken homes. And .that problem is every­ where. ON THB E FRONT!

Republicans Score Sweeping Victories Republicans throughout th e country are rejoicing over the vic­ tories they, won last week in the states where off-year elections were held. In New York, Republican Joe Hanley was elected Lt. Governor over Democrat William Haskell by more than 300,000 majority. In New Jersey former Senator WalterEdge, Republican, was elect­ ed Governor over Vincent Murphy, by a ma only of over 200 000 Pennsylvania and New Yorkeach elected a Republican Congressman to fill vacancies, and Philadelphia elected a Republican mayor. Kentucky elected Simeon Willis, Republican. Governor over j. L. Donaldson, Democrat, by a small majority. This is the first time Kentucky has bad a Republican Governor in 15 years. There are now 27 Republican Governors and 21 Democratic Gov ernors The onlv Democratic Gov ernor holding office outside the Solid South is in Indiana. Some Democrats seem to think that this smashing Republican vie tory will cause Presideut Roosevelt to stop, look and listen before cast­ ing his hat in the ring for another four years as Chief Executive. Harrison Spangler, Republican Na tional Chairman, saw in these re­ turns a death blow to any fourth term movement for Roosevelt. "State after state has rebuffed the New Deal," Spangler said.

N EW YORK. — Five times now Viscount Waldorf Astor has been elected mayor of English Plym­ outh; and since no one claims to have been Plymouthaatayor d ed icated Has 2 Terms Vp to his re- OnOurTopMan “ “y ^ tla rf our President Roosevelt in office. Astor would have been a rank­ ing member of the Park Avenue set here if his father hadn’t grown hippy over flaws in our economic system and popped off to London. Ennoblement fol­ lowed, the more easily, perhaps, because of American millions taken along. Besides being Plymouth’s semi­ permanent mayor, the viscount is the quieter half of the conjugal part­ nership completed by the one-time glamour girl and always remarka­ ble Nancy Langhome of Virginia. They have five children and maybe it was the feeding of the five that started Astor’s present interest in nutrition. Most people who plump for food reform are lean, and so is the viscount, a rangy, self- conscious fellow 61 years old but looking younger. Oxford is his university. There he played polo, ran in steeplechase races and grew expert with the saber. His wealth is still great, thanks to the fur-bearing Jacob, founder of all Astor fortunes. — • — .

And Homer sang of sau­ sages centuries before any Germans thought of even so simple a skin game. But on Dietrich he is as right as rain. Although she has lived here for 13 years, she is Berlin born, and as uniquely German as a keg of Pilsener. But not Nasi. When she was naturalized four years ago , Goebbeis read her right out of the Reich. A little trip into the thesaurus might have uncovered several bet­ ter words than that “keg.” Burgess Meredith never would have said of a keg, as he did of Miss Dietrich, that he wished all women looked like her. Just when Miss Dietrich was bora in Berlin is not at hand. However, she was married in 1924 to Franz Seiber, and she has an 18-year-old daughter, a recent bride. So her age must be about . . . Yep! Just about! If not exactly. Miss Dietrich used to be a stormy petrel. Once she and Garbo had their knives out. Once she was in Mae West’s hair. And she made more than one director back up. But she has been swinging less often from the floor since she made her come-back on those famous under­ pinnings, singing “See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have.” Late­ ly, helping sell Victory bonds, she has been singing, "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Give.” — ♦----- TN GREEN lofty Bogota, President Alfonso Lopez Y Pumarejo has reorganized his cabinet.

The first landings had taken place only 48 hours be­ fore, others were still going on. We had little information as to the prog­ ress of the fighting, but soon it be­ came clear that the war was very close. An American cruiser was about a mile offshore. It began to bark. First a flash, then a crack, then a whish of shell, finally the echo plung­ ing back from the drear Sicilian hills. The rate of firing increased, and another officer, American, said: “They must be on to it now.” We saw fires quite near. I asked an officer when the Luftwaffe had been over this harbor. He replied: “Constantly." Our destroyer had picked up four German aviators from the water the night before and brought them in. They had been on a life raft 90 aours. A British lieutenant, naked to the waist and with shaggy black zeard, said: "They were pretty looped. We almost ,chucked-one of diem over.” Later the Germans were brought w th e,igeck of the destroyer, and jhown the prodigious display of war­ ships steaming past. One German said: “I don’t believe it. It can’t he true.” He had swallowed whole the Nazi propaganda that the British Mediterranean fleet Iud been sunk. Eisenhower wanted to visit Sicily as soon as possible after the inva­ sion, for several reasons: to confer with Hewitt, Patton and his other officers, to see for himself how things were going, and particular­ ly to salute the Canadians who were associated with the British and Americans in a big-scale operation for the first time. He stood on the deck and watched the shore flow along beside us and in conversation he constantly stressed the Allied nature of this tremendous operation, expressing his apprecia­ tion in the warmest terms of the “exquisite” co-ordination achieved by all. He talked about-how Cun- oingham, Alexander and Tedder, each working perfectly on his own sphere,. assembled the whole ma­ chine into action with consummate efficiency while he was only “Chair­ man of the Board.” Before this, I’d met Eisenhower two or three times, attended several sf his press conferences, and been extremely impressed by this officer (only a lieutehant colonel a couple of years ago) who was now in su­ preme charge of one of the great- ist, most complex operations in mili- •.ary history. Friendly and Direct. He is a solidly built man tit medi­ um height, with sandy hair, big fore­ head and freckled face. He has one >f the widest, most mobile grins maginable. His manner' is direct, simple, friendly. You get the sense from him that le’s very sure of himself and knows iis own worth. But his informality ind his modesty are intensely genuine. He’s the least stuffed- shirted general I ever met. All his colleagues admire his ' enormous .act. He had never had concrete iattle experience in the field till last lovember, yet found himself ap- iointed superior to veterans like Alexander and Montgomery. But he quickly proved himself a real strategist with the final vic­ tory in Tunisia. Now he has won aot only the respect of his subordi­ nates but this affection. Though he likes to call himself chairman of the board, he is much more than that. He is a perfect co-ordinator, capable ot vigorous, decisive action. He is very shrewd, as anyone can tell on listening to his conversation, de­ spite his tremendous modesty. He tries to keep in the background as much as possible, always stresses his responsibility to Washington and London, and even refuses to let cor­ respondents dateline anything as from “General Eisenhowerfs Head­ quarters.” He insists they use the term “Allied Headquarters:” Eisenhower went to the Philip­ pines with MacArffiur in February, 1935. He returned to the United States in January, 1940. He was cer­ tain war was coming, but thought it would strike us from Eiurope first. ’Alarmist Ike.’ Friends kidded him, called him “Alarmist Ike.” He went to work ; in the Third Army at San Antonio. From there he was called to. Wash­ ington, after Pearl Harbor. : Eiseubswer is as sound as can be on the essential strategy of war and rspeaks from experience of ffie com­ parative danger from the Germans and tbe Japanese. . He knows we , must beat Germany first for the i most elemental reasons, and he is ab­ solutely firm for Anglo-American solidarity. Odd Wedding Costumes Weddings among the Maori na­ tives of New Zealand are a lot of fuss and feathers, principally feathers. The bride and bride­ groom look like huge birds with human heads when they are decked out to “plight their troth.” The man’s garb is made of kiwi, pigeon and parrot feathers; the girl’s entirely of kiwi feathers. Just in case anyone objects to the union, the bridegroom totes as a weapon a pole of hard wood, dec­ orated with a carved head and wild dogs’ hair.

There’s not one dish in any cook­ing repertory that can even come close to fill the place of soup. It can be the appe­tite - tickler to start the meal, or a light, in­spired concoction to do for lunch­eon, or a steam­ing hot, sturdy soup to be the meat, the vegetable and the main dish for a cool night’s dinner while the wind blows hard outside. If any crisis arises as far as your own point - ration allowance, then start exploring the fascinating pos­sibilities of a few meaty bones, cel­ery leaves, pungent onion, and a spray of parsley, chftSb, marjoram or chevriL Fat, cozy tureens of soup will ward off any hunger now as they have always done when food supplies are slender. There’s no doubt that the tureen will again become a part of your kitchen equipment—at least for the duration. You can make delicious soup out of almost anything—and soup can make the meal if you serve it with plenty of unrationed crack­ers. There are literally all kinds of these to go with any soup you care to name. Here’s a fish chowder that is rich, savory and thoroughly satisfying. Serve it with common or pilot crack­ers to make the meal. Or, if you prefer, oyster crackers, the round tasty type, saltines or plain soda crackers—any one will be a natural accompaniment: •Fish Chowder. (Serves 8) 3 pounds haddock or cod S potatoes, sliced S medium-sized onions, chopped S slices salt pork, diced 8 crackers I quart milk I pint cream I tablespoon butter or margarine Salt and pepper Cook fish in boiling water until done. Remove fish from water and cook potatoes and onions in fish wa­ter until soft. Fry salt pork until crisp. Skin and bone fish and add with pork scraps, to chowder. Soak split crackers in milk. Heat milk and cream with crackers, and add to chowder. Add butter or margarine, salt and pep­ per. Here is another savory soup which will make a perfect main dish for the meal: Eynn Says: The Score Card: Now that but­ter has gone up in point value, you may have to learn to use oth­er spreads such as margarine. Be sure to select a margarine that gives you a definite guaran­tee of the amount of vitamin with which it is enriched.. To color the margarine, let it soften until smooth and creamy, add vegeta­ble coloring and blend together. Let harden before using, if you want to cut it in squares. Buttw can also be stretched with a number of commercial or other stretchers. Select a stretch­ er that gives good consistency and does not change flavor. If you’re doing without a great deal of butter, here’s how: Use margarines or shortenings for all cooking or baking. Save bacon and other drippings to use for frying. Occasionally, use jams, jelly and honey for spreads. Sandwiches can be spread with mayonnaise if the butter supply is low.

L I EARING Jack Benny talk at L I luncheon about his over­ seas trip to entertain the armed forces was an experience that all of his many fans should have shared. “Nothing happened to me.” That was his theme. “I didn’t almost get killed; !wasn’t uncomfortable. Fm going back to Hollywood and urge all the actors to duplicate my trip if they can; I saw places I’d never have seen other­wise.” He said that when he went into hospitals he was at a loss; “Fd say ‘Hullo’ and a man would say ‘Hullo’ and I wouldn’t know what to say next; Fd think ‘Maybe he just doesn’t care about meeting me.’ ” Most of the time he talked about how swell the rest of the troupe were! Joan Davis is starring in a radio program with Jack Haley and mak­ing two pictures at the same time— “Show Business” at RKO and “Beautiful But Broke” at Universal. JOAN DAVIS How she’s going to get from NBC to Universal and back to RKO and still have time to eat and sleep is a problem that’s causing quite a bit of worry for everybody but Miss Davis. Screen star Robert Yotrng will play host on the annual Thanksgiv­ing show sponsored by a watch com­pany, November 25, from four to six (EWT). Headliners signed so far include Alan Reed (Falstaff Openshaw), Lena Horne, Jose Iturbi and Burns and Allen. Director Sidney Lanfield needed six-months-old twins for Paramount’g “Let’s Face It” (co-starring Bob Hope and Betty Hutton). Out went the call, in came twins, but none suited Lanfield. Finally in came a beautiful single. Lanfield sadly ex­plained that he must use twins; if only this infant were two! “Oh, that’s all right,” said the mother. “His twin brother’s testing at War­ ners’.” Here’s a tribute—Charles R. Rog­ers recently signed a seven-year con­tract with Pat Starling, whom Henry Clive, the artist, described as “The most perfect Venus in America”; you’ll see her in “Song of the Open Road,” previously called “It’s Great to Be Young.” Looks as if some­body didn’t know that when a.thing is perfect, it can’t be any more so— or is that quibbling? Charles Laughton' signed an odd contract recently — one permitting his photograph to be usfcd as a prop in “Dangerous Journey.” His wife, Elsa Lanchester, plays a London scrubwoman who takes her hus­band’s picture with her on her odys­sey to Berlin to kill Hitler. Miss Lan­chester thought it would be a fine idea to let her real husband pose for the picture—so Charles got the con­tract. What they do with their radio scripts—Jack Carson has his bound; Gertrude Lawrence autographs hers and auctions them, off at various charity functions; Ginny Simms sends hers to the Ginny Simms fan clubs. Everett (“Crime Doctor’’) Sloane gives bis scripts to acting- ambitious studio page boys ; Charlie Martin has the CBS Playhouse movie stars sign his, and keeps them as souvenirs. .— * — Pat Hyatt, pretty blonde member of the Music Maids and Hal, who was seriously injured in an automo­bile accident many weeks ago, will soon be back on the Bing Crosby program—she surprised everybody recently by hobbling into the NBC studios on crutches during a re­ hearsal of the Music Hall program. — * — ODDS AND ENDS-If you see the V.

Rev. Dr. R. C. Ander- son.'of Charlotte, was the offidat ing minister. Three Classes of PeDple Rev. Walter E. Iaenhoor. Hiddeoite. N. C. Someone has said there are three kinds of people, namely, “The Wills, the Won’ts. the Can’ts.’' The first class accomplish every­ thing, the second class oppose ev- erytbing, and the third class fail In everything. Which class do you belong to? Every man, woman, boy and girl who have good common sense, and who have any ability at all, even if it isn’t only to be a worker at some ordinary daily job, ought to belong to the first dass. With one little talent lots of people accomp­ lish great things. They have to will to go fortb In life and climb up the hill of manhood and wom­ anhood, and to rise and climb into usefulness, and live an honest, up­ right, beneficial life before God and man. They build our homes of godliness, onr schools, our church­ es, and lead the way to the high, est and best things in life. 'God blesses them and makes them a blessing. They have high aims, noble plans and high ideals. They have a great and worthwhile pur­ pose for which to live, and go forth to use their golden opportunities to the best advantage. They make their mark and leave their influ­ ence behind to bless mankind wben they are gi ne from time to etern­ ity. Tbank God for them.. The Won’ts simply take the op­ posite attitude and stand in life. They could accomplish good and great things if they would, or if they willed to do so. but they won’t. They won’t giae themsel­ ves to God tnat He may use them to tho good of others and to His glory. They won’t use their time and talent for good, but for evil. They won’t accept their good op port unities which come their way as the« go through life. They op. pose the people of God; oppose sal vatlon, and the building of church es and schools. They oppose ev erytbing that is ior the good of mankind and tbe uplift of the coun­ try physically,. mental|y, morally and spiritually. Tbey could be great people, but they won't. They could do great good, and make _ a wonderful success of life, and reach heaven’s goal at last, but they won’t. Now the third class, tbe Can’ts. Poor people. Multitudes can’t bo* cause they' think they can’t. They don’t try. They have too little confidence in themselves They think the other fellow should 611 tbe responsible placrs in liie, should lead the way, should do the work, should go forth and accomplish, but they can’t. Do you know who can’t? Just tbe weak-minded, the idiot, the half wit. Men don’t ac complish something good, great and worthwhile, and doo’t amount to their best, usually because they think they can’t, therefore fail to try. Poor Can’ts. Don’t be one of them. Strongly refuse to be, and you’ll be among the Wills. Bibles Placed on Ration Lbt Along with butter, me^t, shoes, Bibles are being rationed. There is a shortage of Bibles. We are rationing our supplies, and we expect conditions to' get worse instead of better, according to the secretary of tbe Chicago. Bible So. cietv. An overwhelming demand by both soldiers and civilians for copies of the scriptures, and tbe rationing of paper are held respon sible for the' shortage of Bibles. KEEP ON WiTHVUlONDS Scenery Was Indeed Lovely, Eleanor Mrs. Eleani r Roosevelt, the pub- licitv-lovlng, pleasute-seefcing, sir perprivlleged wife of the President, is back home from her 25,945 mile junket to the sonth Pacific. She returned In the same fonr engined Liberator bomber that carried her away. She spent approximately 104 hours In tbe air, used between 18,000 and 25,000 gallons of pre­ cious gas, caused to be taken 23 000 feet of hard.to get photo film, then crowned it all by using two limousi­ nes to convey her party from the airport in New York where she landed to her downtown apartment, says the Ohio State Journal, of Columbus, Ohio, which goes on to say very pertinently: The gas she used would have supplied approximately 8,000 auto- ists with a week’s rations; tbe films she had taken would bare supplied thousands of people who are told at their camera or drug shops that none Is to be had; the bomber cer­ tainly could have been put to . a better purpose, and those big Iitno- usiness rolling down New York streets must have given mauy a gasless car owner a momentary feeling that something is amiss in this country when everybody but is asked and even ordered to sacri­ fice. And all for what? x One wonders. She served no purpose usefnl to tbe war or to the country, but maybe she did serve, or try to. the politi­ cal interests of her fourth.term can­ didate. It is note worthy that Gen eral Douglas MacArthur was busy, at the front while Eleanor was in his domain, and that fact cannot have escaped public attention. How many thousands of dollars this trip cost the people cannot now be estimated But the cost is not not what bothers, so much as this unseemingly flaunting of power, this flouring of the rule of equality of sacrifice and this all out exhibi tion of Mrs. Roosevelt being im­ mune from the rules and regula­ tions the rest of us must live by. The soldiers are going to voteln the next election. The President is going to be a candidate. Mrs. Roosevelt is just as shrewd a politi­ cian as her husband. . There are lots of soldiers in the south Pocific, and if Eleanor could impress them that Pappy In Washington had sent Mammy down there to assure that their welfare is foremost in his mind, it might mean a lot of fourth- term votes next year. If there Is any other honest ex­ planation for this useless, expen­ sive and privileged trip, it ought to be forthcoming. Until it is, the people will resent Mis. Roosevelt’s usurpation of privilege and her use of government equipment, paid for the the taxpayers, to find material for a syndicated column for which she is well paid for the taxpayers, to find material for a syndicated column foi which she is well paid, and to spread the political propa­ ganda for her husband and his New Deal party.—Union Republican. The Kiss of Death It no longer pays to go into an election with President Roosevelt’s blessiog Lieut. Gen. William N. Haskell, tbt Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor of New York, and former Ambassador ' W. C. Bullitt, tbe Democratic candi. date for mayor ot Philadelphia, car­ ried the President's sweet kisses, but they proved “kisses of death,*’ for both were given a walloping by the voters at the ballot boxes on election day.—Exchange. - Vhe present with a future— WAR BONDS tor CHRIST­ MAS. Keep on Backing the Attack. Will GOP Save Nation? Mr. Editor:—Thecandidates for the presidential election next year have already been selected—in the Democratic/press National con­ ventions will be mere formalities President Roosevelt. has been se­ lected for bis fourth term. This much is definitely settled. Sixteen consecutive years In the presiden­ tial office sounds very much likethe American brand of democracy has taken its everlasting flight from the American shores; We fought one bloody war to make the world safe for democracy. Now even Ameri­ ca has rejected it. There’s not a shadow of a doub in my mind but that President Roosevelt’s sole aim now is to be tbe first crowned head of the North American Empire. Napoleon thru his military* power forced himself upon European roy lty. President Roosevelt has resorted to milder means than military weapons but so far has proved just as effective. A prodigal expenditure of public funds is his weapon. Personally I sincerely regret to see the ideal de­ mocracy of America discarded but when such a very large number of our citizens whose sole ambition is to get a living without working for it, vote their country’s liberties a- way for the sake of a dole, what can good citizens do? What is the Republican party go­ ing to do to save our country in this her greatest peril? The party was called into existence to save onr country and did a good job Is It now going to depart fram tbe faith of tbe fathers?'

The Repnblicaii Trend Cbailotte Observer.' Oue must be partisantlv purblind to ignore the patent trend that has set’ fn against the present Washing, ton administon. The government on the part of the voters is distinctly toward the Republican party. Elections recently In New .York, Jersey, Pennsylvania and Kentucky illustrated that fact. Even James A Farlev, chairman of the New York State Democratic committee, admits that the recent voting shows that the voters are dissatisfied,’’ Down In this part ot the country, definitely committed to vote the Democratic ticket, come hell or high water, tbe adverse swing a. gainst.the administration Is imper­ ceptible." But over practically every otner area of the nation, the Republicans are clearly ou the march. - Roscoe Drummond, the able Washington correspondent ot The Christian Science. Monitor, puts the situation In a nut shell with the following facts which relate to this thesis: Tbe Repnolican party in a total of 24 States is today administering the government of 6 t per cent of the people of the United- States. In the Presidential election next year, these 24 States will account for 312 electroral votes. To these can reasonably be added tbe >3 votes from Indiana, in which the Democratic party lost every office but the Governorship, and the 16 votes from New Jeisey. This means that the Republican party is today dominant in 26 states with an electoral vote of 341', or a majority of 75. Or turn tbe seismograph around and it will show that in tb^ 38 Northern States in which next year’s election will unquastionably be determined, the G. O. P. trend is beaded right for home. In these 38 States the Republicans have e. Iected 206 Congressmen to 126 for the Democrats, 38 Senator to 36 for the Democrats, and 27 State Ie gislatures to nine Democratic and two divided. To cap it all,' the Republicans carried 79 per cent of all the coun ties in these decisive 38 States last fall. ____________ Paging Mr. Bnrgm Lexington’s local rationing board has, reports tbe Dispatch, been for­ ced to deny extra sugar sought for corn-shuckings. District officials, it seems, advised that they bad no authority to make such allowances. While personally, it was never the sweet stuff—barring a gal child, or so who might be interested in tbe joint possession of a red ear— which appealed to us at a corn- shucking we think it is high time that Davidson folks took tue mat­ ter up with Hon. W. O Burgin at Washington and called ou him to do something about it. Folks have just about quit mak­ ing, if they haven’t forgot how to make, locust and persimmon beer and the apple crop was so poor this tall that there isn’t a chance for cider sweet or hard. Corn shuck ers should be given every reason, able encouragement even should this entail a slight loosening of ra­ tioning regulations. Everybody knows there is sugar to be had, aod that baing asked for in Davidson would be called for by ladies of settled age, many of whom still possess a gingham apron and a personal hymnbook and nary one of whom would permit a pound allotted them to be diverted to tbe speeding up of a moonshiners mash. —Greensboro News To Vice-President Wallace: Never before has one man talked so much and said so little.

A sergeant, just back from Africa on furlough, inquired about two money orders be had re­ cently sent, to his gii I. With tears streaming from his eyes be explained that he had been saving every nickel he could and sending it back to his girl for her to save for the furniture they were going to buv. Coming back to get married, be learned that tbe girl had married someone else, and be was hoping to salvage tbe last two money orders he bad sent her. They had already been cashed. One can’t help but feel sorry for that soldier bov, disappointed in love and done out of his money. We don’t know whether he sbed his tears for the one or the other, but hone that it was for the mon­ ey. for a girl that would do a ,trick like that isn’t worth crying over. ' And, to be philosophical about it. a good thing bas happened to him, for at a cost ot only seven hundred dollars, tbe' amount be said he had sent the girl in install­ ments, he found out what kind of person she was before they were married. The Charlotte morning paper is. taking up a collection to reimburse tbe sergeant for his money ' loss. Now if that gal’s name could be published so public opinion could go to work on her conscience, if any, some of tbe donors might get more joy ont of giving. Of course, a woman has a right to change ber mind in matters af­ fecting love. But a stab in the pocketbook like that is apt to leave the deeper scar.

She explains the situation to her friend, Barry. Elsa ChatSeId had been disin­ herited at Annt Kitty's death, hot is glad to be freed from a tyrannical ; had imposed many restrictions. Rogers, n detective, asks what Kitty died of, and is told an overdose of morphine. The detective meets Reed Barton and discusses the matter of Kitty ChatSeId and Elsa. He suspected that Kitty CfaatSeid was murdered although the police hold to the opinion that .it was suicide. There were no Sngerprints except her own on the hypodermic syringe she CHAPTER III “But Kitty talked. Lord, how she talked! Sam, thank God, was a hu­ man sort, however; he just laughed at her and went on loving his wife. And then Elsa’s mother, to Kitty’s great relief, passed from the scene. Pneumonia, I think, although ..it’s hard to remember everything. Sam didn’t remarry, however, until after he set himself up again in Mexico; and then it was to Berta, the Mexi­ can. Berta was the last straw to Kitty Chatfield. Berta, of course, is all right. I like her.” “It’s time Margaret was getting here. Sam Chatfield and his Mexi­ can wife, Berta, are coming too. They’re up from'Mazatlan for a few days,” he said. “I’m hungry. How about you two?” “I could eat now,” Huntoon Rog­ ers said. "Perhaps it is clearer now about the will, Barry,” said Dwight, set­ tling back in his chair once more. “When Aunt Kitty cut her niece off with only a year’s income from the estate, lmowing quite well that Elsa would spend all of it—which she aid—it was a deliberate thrust at a vital spot, so she thought. "Aunt Kitty never looked upon Elsa as a Chatfield. Elsa resembled very much her mother. What’s more to the point she was not awed by the antiquity of the Chatfields; she refused to kowtow to the great god Family. Which of course did not endear her to Aunt Kitty. To­ ward the last as bitter a hatred ex­ isted between those two as you could well imagine. Elsa, of course, was not to blame for it. Kitty Chatfield was older; her neck was stiff.” “But is that enough to make the two hate each other the way they did?” I asked. "There was the baby.” “Who was the child’s father?” in­ quired Rogers. “That has never been disclosed.” A boy came out upon the veranda to inform us that Margaret and the others had arrived. Dwight Nichols has a kindly face. Dwight is not yet forty, but his is the face of a benevolent philosopher. His brown eyes are benign, soft, almost feminine in their compassion for his fellow man. There is a quiet, gentle smile constantly about his lips; his whole countenance, in fact, is lovable and sweet. His is a face widely known, for it has been seen often in the press—a face of charm, inviting to confidence, winning, friendly. That’s why the devilish caricature in the shop window struck so forci­ bly upon my attention! It was the eye that did the trick; the carica­ turist had provided him with an eye cunning, sly, wicked. It made over the whole countenance of Dwight Nichols; it made a rascal of him, whereas he is an .upright man, a sportsman who has written many boqks of life afield, and a man ex­ traordinarily fond of his wife and home. And, heavens! there was myself beside Dwight, my own inconsequen­ tial physiognomy. I blushed as I stood there on the sidewalk, oblivi­ ous to the afternoon crowd that swarmed along the boulevard. Was I such a villain as that? Was I so old? And, heavens again! Beside me in the window, overwhelmingly, so huge and coarse that at first I had not seen it, was Jimmy the Cheese. In other shop windows up the boulevard that mild April afternoon I encountered still more caricatures by the same clever hand. There ' was one of Huntoon Rogers ludicrous in the extreme; the thinning hair on top of his head was all-but gone; his ears stood out like flapping wings, 'and- his nose was twice its already generous size. “Let me see that thing in the win­ dow,” I requested of the clerk. For full of mounting spirits I had re­ turned to the first window out of breath, thoroughly reckless now. I pointed to my own likeness. The man was hesitant. “I want to look at it. I want to make sure who did it. It’s me. Don’t you see?” He looked startled for a moment, as if he were trying to divine wheth­ er or not I intended to sue him, then got the caricature from the window and laid it on the counter. Eagerly I scanned it for a signature, and there inodestly in the lower right- hand corner was the word I had not been able to see from the sidewalk. It was “Elsa.” “Lfet me take this for a little while,” I requested. The clerk shrugged his shoulders in a way that said no. “Herel” I pulled out my billfold and dropped some money on the counter. "I know the girl who did -that. -I w ant-to borrow it long enough to take it over and raise heck with her.” “What if you don’t come back?” “Then keep the money. It’s more than the darned thing is worth.” “All right,” he said. I rolled the thing lightly, made my exit and bent my sjeps toward the apartment on the heights above the boulevard. EIsa was not at home, but I found Rhed Barton.on her doorstep. He was knocking loudly like a desperate man upon the panel of the door as I ascended the last flight of- stairs, and left off only when I poked my head within view. He was carrying flowers, which few men like to be seen doing however much they may esteem the intended recipient there­ of. He' sought at first to hide them from me; hence it was not difficult to see that his case was urgent. “She’s not at home,” he an­ nounced with an air that indicated Elsa’s absence amounted almost to a personal affront. “I thought sure she’d be here, Barry.” , “Just leave' the flowers on her doorstep. I’ll tell her you called the next time I see her,” I said. He f t 'lLiMk at that! Look at that!” laughed and brought foe flowers around into view, drew a fat green pencil from his pocket, scribbled something upon foe white paper and snapped foe flowers to foe doorknob with a rubber band. “She’s foe most exasperating per­ son I know, Barry," he said. “But what’s she done to you?” For the first time he realized I had reason for befog there. The light was dim, but I unrolled foe caricature and presented it. He took foe caricature from me, and placing it against foe wall scrib­ bled on foe edge: “Dear Liar. Bar­ ry is a wild man about this. I think it’s rotten too^-Reed.” He chuckled, proceeding to' fasten it in foe door jamb. “Tell her when you see her, Barry, that I called to tell her good­ bye. It’s rather sudden, you know. The Chief didn’t let me know until yesterday. I’m on my way this eve­ ning. Come on. I’ve got to go over to my hangout now. There’s not much time left.” We went down foe stairs and set off on foot, for it was not far. “Where are you going and why?” I inquired as we reached the boule­ vard and jostled along through the crowd. “Mexico—Mazatlan. Because foe Chief says to go.” “Mazatlan! Why, that’s incredibly removed from foe Hollywood scene." "Yes, I know.” "But what for?” “The Chief says I’m to report at the Mazatlan office for permanent work. Take charge of things down there.” We swung, on up foe. boulevard. As we passed foe shop window, we halted to gaze in at foe caricatures of Dwight and Ghesebro, and again farther-up foe boulevard at still ofo- er caricatures. Near Highland foe sidewalk became impassable.. We endeavored to worm our way through, for Reed’s hotel was just beyond foe corner. The first intima­ tion that it was more than a mere congestion of pedestrians came with foe sound of a man’s voice—a reedy, husky voice—^shouting: “Look at that! Look at that!” ' We pressed our way into foe crowd and beheld at foe center of foe throng a hatless figure, red of face and vociferous to foe point of apoplexy. "Is it me?” he demand­ ed plaintively of foe gaping crowd. “Is it me?” He pointed at a shop window wherein I.could make out a group of caricatures, the origin of which was quite apparent. I recog­ nized the fellow, a minor comedian; he was a bit player who was cast in an occasional picture. I don't know why a second figure on foe sidewalk should catch my eye at foe moment unless it were that . foe- prescient, monitor within me had again directed my ,.eyes in tp th e misty pool of future time to that terrifying experience at Mazatlan. For the man was an utter stranger. He was inactive, standing idly by, apparently not greatly moved by foe indignity that had been done him. The man was smoking a frayed ci­ gar. He was hatless, dressed in an incredible sports, coat, brown slacks and a pink and white check shirt that would have affronted foe esthet­ ic sense of a moron. “I won’t stand for it!” bellowed foe comedian. “I won’t! Give me a brick, somebody. Where’s a brick?” I don’t know where the brick came from. I suspeqted, but with no rea­ son whatever, that the man with foe frayed cigar was guilty.. “You know,” laughed Reed Bar­ ton, as we rolled down town to foe union station, “I wish I could stay and'see how this comes out.” “I’ll tell you how it comes out when I see you at Mazatlan,” I said. “I’ve arranged to go with Dwight and Margaret on their cruise. Leaving in a week or so.” “There is more than a fine talent heye,” said Dwight, his -ytice having a judicial sound in foe quiet of the ship’s lounge on foe Orizaba. The thin smoke of his cigarette ascend­ ed through foe lighted area made by foe green-shaded light. He rustled the papers on the table, looking at first one reproduction of Elsa’s cari­ catures and then-at another. There was a full page spread of Elsa’s caricatures in the rotogravure sec­ tion, besides others in foe news sec­ tion. Elsa had made a hit; she was being hailed as a find. “Oh, hello, Chesebro. Come-in!” Dwight, looking past me into foe passageway beyond foe open door of the lounge, suddenly called out. t turned to behold Jimmy foe Cheese on the threshold. We shook hands all around, and Dwight waved Chese­ bro to a chair. “We were just talk­ ing about Elsa,” he explained when we had settled. “About her mugs, as she calls them.” A voice broke in upon us as we sat there in foe lounge, a strange voice, slightly blurred in its tone and smacking of New York in its inflections. “If you’re speaking of Elsa, I brought her out. Just now.” “We were, yes.” Dwight rose questioningly to his feet and made as if to move toward foe doorway whence came foe voice. “Don’t bother to get up,” said foe voice heartily. “Elsa and I just got here a few minutes ago. The stew­ ard helped us on board, and I saw you fellows in here so I came on in.” “That’s quite right,” Dwight as­ sured foe man. ' “I’m glad you did. My name’s Nichols.” "Glad to meet you, Nichols. My name’s Rumble. George "Rumble." “This is Mr. Chesebro, and Mr. Madison.” "Glad to meet you both,” said Mr. Rumble, shaking hands swiftly with Chesebro and then with me. “Don’t believe I’ve ever heard of you two before.” He helped, him­ self unasked' to cigarettes and sat down on foe comer of foe table. “Nice little boat you’ve got here, Nichols. Looks like a swell traveler of foe ocean- blue.” . “Yes, thank you. I’m glad you could come down and be with us tonight.” “Thanks. I always get a kick out of going-away parties — especially when it’s on a boat. Understand you’re starting to Mexico tonight.” “Yes. We’re sailing about mid­ night.” At the moment I was speechless. I observed Dwight endeavoring to adjust the newcomer to his sur- roundings and us to him. It was plain that he was totally unexpect­ ed. His statement, however, that he had come with Elsa made him authentic. But, as I say, I was de­ void of speech. For I recognized foe man. He was minus foe frayed cigar he’d had when he so calmly looked on at foe frantic actions of foe outraged comedian. His blapk curly hair was oiled down to his head, and he was now smoking one of Dwight’s cigarettes. Otherwise he was foe same. “How did you come down?” Dwight was asking. “Come down?” repeated Rumble, dislodging a fragment of tobacco from his tongue with a sharp noise of his lips. "We came in Elsa’s car. She’s got a good car now, and a chauffeur. I helped her pick out foe car. And I know the chauffeur’s okeh. He’s a nice boy. Cousin of a friend of mine. I got him the job.” “That's interesting,” said Dwight Chesebro had shrank into himself at foe advent of Mr. Rumble; he sat like a huge, reddish-brown, silent malignant oyster. I’m sure that if it were foe gentlemanly thing to do he would have bitten Mr. Rumble. “What’s your line, Chesebro?” de­ manded Mr. Rumble, turning-upon Jimmy foe Cheese. For a moment there was no reply. I could fancy he was straggling with himself, then be hissed, “Mining investments.” “Investments? Oh, yes. I never had anything to invest myself, but that's a- good line, I guess. Me, I’m in—” But whatever it was that he was ia had to wait for foe moment, for Elsa called to us from foe thresh­ old. CTO BE CONTINUEOi IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.Of tlie MoodyBIble Institute of Chicago.Released byW estera Newspaper Union. Lesson for November 21 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. HONESTY EN ALL THINGS LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:15; Leviticus 19:11, 13; Luke 19:1-10, 45, 46. 'GOLDEN . TEXT—Thou shalt not steaL— Exodus 20:15. Honesty seems to be so obviously right that one might expect it alway s and everywhere—if bitter experi­ ence had not indicated foe opposite to be true. As a matter of fact, dishonesty has become so common that a per­ son who is strictly honest is a bit of a novelty. Some even think he is peculiar. Under such circumstances the Christian needs to be vigilant lest he also accommodate his own ideas of honesty and begin to justify little evasions ratner than being absolute­ ly upright. The teaching of Scripture on this matter is very plain. I. Honesty and Fair Dealing (Exod. 20:15; Lev. 19:11, 13). The very commandment against stealing implies that men have a right to that which they have made, earned, or saved. If no one had property rights there could be no stealing. Some of our modern isms deny such rights, but their reason­ ing is clearly not biblical or Chris­ tian. “Thou shalt not steal” forbids ev­ ery kind of theft, and foe passages from Leviticus indicate that this in­ cludes more than robbery or ordi­ nary stealing. It relates to every kind of false dealing with another, such as op­ pression or the withholding of just wages. That, too, is stealing in God’s sight. Perhaps we ought to bO more spe­ cific and apply the truth to our own day. Stealing includes such things as loafing on one’s job, "borrowing” money from the cash drawer, tak­ ing goods from the stock with which one is working, stealing another man’s sermon and preaching it as one’s own, “lifting” material out of another man's book without'-credit, contracting debts which one can never pay, using false weights and measures, adulterating food or oth­ er material, “watering” milk for sale, selling worthless stock, dodging taxes or lying to foe tax assessor, or using a slug instead of a nickel in foe telephone to escape proper payment. One might add gambling (which is taking another man’s property by skill or by chance), making an un­ duly large profit on foe labor of an­ other, making money out of the sor­ rows and failures of others, etc. To be honest means to be fair—and that has broad implications. II. Honesty and Restoration (Luke 19:1-10). The reality and thoroughness of Zacchaeus’. conversion was indicat­ ed by his willingness to restore all. foe money he had unjustly (but le­ gally, note foat!) taken ,from his fel­ low citizens—and that in fourfold measure. '. Insofar as it is possible to do so, the honest person will make right any known injustice. To be right with God must mean foat we are to be right with men. The testimony of many Christians could be pre­ sented to show foat they have only entered upon real peace- aiid use­ fulness as they have made consist­ ent effort to right every wrong, to pay every debt. Often such actions open opportu­ nities for Christian testimony and point others-to foe redemption in Christ, which makes a man live right as well as talk right. IU. Honesty and Religion (Luke 19:45, 46). One might think it unnecessary to urge honesty upon religious folk. They ought to be honest. But here we see In sharp contrast to the quick honesty and restitution of Zac­ chaeus, foe stubborn disobedience and dishonesty of foe priests in the temple. Jesus had already cleansed the temple of the traffic in money- changing and foe sale of animals for sacrifice practiced there . (see John 2:13-17). On foat occasion He re­ buked them because they made Kis Father’s house “a house of mer­ chandise.” Had they known the change of heart of a converted Zacchaeus they would have heeded His . admonition. But they did not believe in Christ and went on with their ungodly dese­ cration of foe temple area -until it becaine “a den of thieves” (v. 46). , Wbat happened so long ago needs application -to our present day. So apt:is foe quotation from .foe “Les­ son !'"Commentary." !which we have usedybefore foat we repeat it now. ; Speaking of “the.goings on iii. our ownchurches” foe writer says,' “Is a; church honest when it assumes ob­ ligations foat it cannot meet. and is* foenf.forced to use all sorts of ques­ tionable means to raise (nbney for foe! benefit of foe church?' Is a' church honest when it turps a build­ ing ; consecrated to fo e.

T IME was when an acto^ was likely to lose his pub­ lic if he stayed off the screen for even a short time. Some can’t risk it now. Alan Ladd doesn’t belong in that class— a large part of the public is remaining faithful to him while he’s off serving his country, and refusing to put anyone else .in their idol’s place. He worked hard for his suc­ cess-had years of encouragement but few good roles, and put in time working in radio before he got a good role in “Joan pf Paris.” Then ALAN LADD he tested for "This Gun for. Hire,” and when Paramount executives saw his test they didn’t bother about test­ ing anyone else., His success in foat role was like Marlene Dietrich’s In “Morocco”—instantaneous. Gary Moore, who co-stars Jimmy Durante over both CBS NBC, will make his picture under David Seizmck’s sponsorship, and win be developed as "a sort of combination of Fred AUien and Boh Hope”—which should be something! it’ll be AUen on writing ability and Hope from the slant of his delivery. Howard Petrie, announcer of foe Moore-Durante air show, had both Paramount, and RKO after him with a long-term acting contract. He stands six feet four and weighs 240 pounds—right up with Paramount's Bill Edwards, of "Our Hearts Were' Young , and Gay.” — * — HUdegarde, foe new radio star who has foe “Beat foe Band” show on Wednesday evenings, introduced a song called “She’s Got Bars on Her Shoulders and Stars in Her Eyes” ; foe WACs couldn’t resist foe title so adopted foe ditty for their official recruiting song. — * — Pompeii’s emergence into front­ page importance because of foe fighting around Naples inspired RKO to reissue its spectacular “The Last Days of Pompeii,” originally re­ leased in 1935; its cast includes Alan Hale, Basil' Rafobone, and Louis Calhern. Dick Haymes’ first tests at 20tb Century-Fox turned ont so well that his part in "Four JiUs and a Jeep,” with Carole Landis, was made big­ ger and bigger. Meanwhile, bis ra­ dio sponsor pays for fop lad’s popu­ larity. Half the program comes from New York, with a fuU orches­ tra, chorus, and Jim Ameehe fea­ tured—another orchestra and chorus goes on in Hollywood, accompany­ ing Haymes’ soqgs. - Flossie Flynn, head of Loew1S Telephone Information Service in New York, says foat recently her office has been swamped' by "in­ quiries about Metro’s two-reel short, “Heavenly Music,” a tale of a jive musician who can’t get into heaven until he convinces a jury of famous composers foat swing is real - mu­ sic—says she gets more calls ask­ ing where it’s playing than she does on feature productions. It’s taken 14 years for Hollywood to get around to remaking “The Bridge of San Luis Rey,” done in 1929 as a silent. Benedict Bogeaus, a business man who . bought Holly­ wood’s General Service Studios a year and a half ago, bought foe screen rights and put Rowland V.

We read in our favorite news­ paper a few days ago that the-Cost of living had advanced about 6 per cent in the last year or two. May­ be so. Two years ago we were paying 15 cents perponnd for sliced breakfast bacon, while today we are paying 42 to 45 cents. Good ste k was 20 to 25 cents per pound, while today the p ice ranges from 40 to 60 cents. Sweet potatoes were $1.00 per bushel, while they are now sell. Ing from $2 up.

They’re on duty today at the four corners of the earth and on all the seven seas— protecting our lives and our way of life. And we mustn’t overlook the splendid job that other men in the uniform of our police forces are doing. Their “zone of Operationn may be North Carolina rather than North Africa, it may be the highway to the next town rather than the airways across the Pacific, but their job is funda­ mentally the same —- protecting us and ours. We North Carolinians can indeed be proud of our police organizations — city, county or state. Most of us have few occasions to call upon the service of our police forces — but that in itself is a tribute to their efficiency. They’re on- the job day and night, whether we need them or not ” Some of us in the Greyhound organisa­ tion, because of the nature of our work, have more frequent occasion to1 co­ operate with the police than do many ol our fellow citizens of North Carolina. For instance,-we are in a position to see clearly how much the police of this com-' munity, as well as those of neighboring communities; have contributed to tbe safety and convenience of bus transpor­ tation. The aid these men have given in arranging the most practical and satis­ factory routes through towns and cities is typical of their skillful handling of all traffic problems. Greyhound’s most important job; as we see it, is to make near and good neighbors of all the communities that our buses serve in North Carolina—and we feel that the able cooperation of police forces throughout the State has made it possi­ ble for us to do Hiis job with greater efficiency. .e .

You hear it in the vibrant roar , of great Southern mills and factories... You hear it in the ceaseless clatter of Southern shipyards... You hear it in the busy hum rising from Southern farms and forests and mines... You hear, it in the deep voice of powerful Southern Rmlway locomotives and in the endless rumble of the Southern’s freight trains. It’s the song of the South today...the hustling, wartime Southland, served by the Southern Railway System and dedicated, above all else, to speeding the day of final Victory. Aiul after the war is won, this great and growing Southland will turn to the rich, rewarding tasks of Peace. Then, new and better products will come from modern Southern industries.' Then, new wonders will spring, from Southern research laboratories. Then, ,Soutliern forests and farmlands, mills and mines, will bustle with peacetime activity. Then, the men and women of the Southern Railway System mil make good use of the lessons they’re learning under the pressures of war...to speed the peacetime commerce of the Greater South to an eager world...from ”A-way down South in Dixie.” President Jk w a sS O U T H E R N R A IL W A Y S Y S T E M :V . _ •„ THE DAVIE RECORD.

So they toted their eyedropper piano close to the imperial tent and roared: “Hail, hail, the gang’s all here,” into Gerard Swope’s ear. The piano player was Philip Dunham Reed who next day wrote his folks in Wisconsin his regret that he ever had taken a lesson. But everything came out all right. In a few years Swope was gone and Reed was chair­ man of the board. [_ Now at 44, Reed is taking over the Tnited States Mission for Economic Affairs in London as W. Averell Harriman moves on to our ambas­ sadorial mansion in Moscow. Reed figured first to be an en­ gineer, studied at the University of Wisconsin, but he switched to law at Fordham and that came out all right. Soon he was earn­ ing $12,000 a year in New York. Although he had a wife, son and daughter, he boldly resigned to take $4,500 a year in the law department of General Electric, and that came out all right, too. It led to that chairmanship of the board. He resigned to work under Barriman whom he suc­ ceeds and nowadays he doesn’t even worry about when to have his hair cut. His secretary tells him and he marches obediently to a barber. Properly trimmed he is tall, with an air so handsome it is easy to believe he had a big part in a class play at Wisconsin along side Fred " Ml Bickel, known now on Broadway as Frederic March.

She will admit though, freely, that she has a son 21 years old, her only son, in West Point. Her husband has been overseas for 15 months. That’s why she gives all the time she can to the canteen and to Red Cross .work. It is Mrs. Ike Eisenhower speaking. She first met Ike when she was but IS. She was Maimie Doudl a doctor’s daughter, of Denver, Colo. With her parents she vis­ ited an army camp in Texas. At the officers’ mess, she met the future Allied commander in the Mediterranean area. He talked her out of a date she had in town, talked her into becom­ ing engaged two months later. - She’s been seeing to it that his uniforms were pressed ever since, until June of last year at Fort Meyer, Va. ■ Pictures of him are found at every turn in the suburban Washington apartment where she waits for him to come home. The one on the piano came from North Africa. There is a complete scrap bock of his doings, too. Their home used to be known as the Club Eisenhower. She is hos­ pitable and friendly. She strikes up friendships with butchers, bakers and neighbors, especially when . . . like herself . . . they'are waiting for some­ one to come home. Her ances­ tors fought in the Civil and Revolutionary wars and she knows how their wivtes felt.

Under Lord Woolton,- Mabane can certainly take part of the credit, and it doesn’t seem strange to him that a bachelor like himself should do a good job with anything pertaining to food. He believes that men can" ootcook women every time, but that this is no reason why some women should cook so badly. Tall, thin, gray-blond and sat­ urnine, Mabane has been an M.P. since 1931. His voice with its Xorkshire accent is often lift­ ed on food topics. It was he who startled the treasury benches during a report on the point sys­ tem of rationing by quoting Marie Lloyd “A Little of Wbat you Fancy does you Good.” He was not nourished by a family of restaurateurs, but by the boot and shoe business, and took a fling at it himself after Cambridge univer­ sity where he was distinguished as a runner. There seems to be some connection there. In the First World war he fought Iiis way up to a captaincy and *.vas wounded. He tried social service; and in 1929 worked his way around Uie globe, visiting the United States which he has since revisited. He likes to travel, golf, ski and play “fox and geese” on a checkerboard. He likes to garden, too. S i g t t o f t h e T i m e s i n S o u t h w e s t P a c i f i c , *; 9F m -.

The bullock team was loaned by a local farmer to clear the field for use by the RAF. This is a typical example of the co­ operation Italian and Sicilian peasants have given the Allied armies as our forces steadily move northward toward R oue and Berlin despite desperate German resistance.

There were 650 American girls in the First WAC Separate Battalion with whom I sailed to Europe. As we boarded the transport, each girl wore a tin helmet, dress uniform, utility coat, pistol belt with first-aid packet and canteen, shoulder bag, mask. Shoulders bent under the heavy musette—but hours of hik­ ing had enured the girls to this bur­ den. Each WAC carried over her arm a heavy topcoat, hiding within its folds heaven knows what of last-min- ute impediments. “Forward march!” Capt. Mary A. Hallaren, commanding the bat­ talion, barked from the dock as she set off at the head of the column, carrying her full pack as easily as anyone in the ranks. WACs are on the average huskier than American girls used to be, but for a leader Siey have gone back to the Napo­ leonic tradition. Once I asked Captain Hallaren her height. Her demure answer was: " You must be five feet to be a WAC.” Her troops call her Captaih Peewee or Captain Five-by-Five. It has been suggested that Captain Hallaren’s small size disarms men, helps her to get along with them so . well. Though small myself, I’ve never noticed it makes any difference. Precise Rhythm. The troops’ backs looked grim as they swung along in precise soldier­ ly rhythm that makes all men of­ ficers jealous. Captain HaUaren never doubted that her troops would stand the test of the ocean voyage with its close quarters and possible hazard. Since March, she bad been commanding her battalion, preparing it for its task. The troops gave her a shil­ lelagh to celebrate her appointment. Her five companies were formed in obedience to a request for clerks, stenographers and telephone oper­ ators to serve with the air force. The average age of the auxiliaries is about 25. They are pretty, homely, fat, slim, blonde, brunette, Protes­ tant, Catholic, Jewish—a cross sec­ tion of America. Nearly all are high school graduates, a few are college graduates. The officers are drawn chiefly from colleges and the aver­ age age is 33. Captain Hallaren is 36, comes from Lowell, Mass., and is a gradu­ ate of Massachusetts State Teachers college. She also studied at Har­ vard university. The fact- that, she had traveled for 15 summers in Europe, Latin America and the Near East—often with a pack on her back —was a help, she thinks, in prepar­ ing her for the job with the WACs. Sunday services aboard ship were well attended by the WACs. Officers who censored their mail reported that the girls wrote their families that the services seemed like a link with home. It was strange to realize that this transport of good-tempered friendly people was actually a task force and as such a rich prize inviting to the enemy; that the sea was the haunt of killers who would destroy us in­ stinctively as wolves tear dogs in the forest.. The transport was crowded to a point that no self-respecting sardine would tolerate. Each voyage is such a tremendous enterprise, so expen­ sive to arrange, that it must pay off in manpower. Eighteen WACs slept in one cabin. The approach of debarkation time was easy to recognize. An attrac­ tive young American, Captain Sher­ man, came aboard ship to welcome us with good news from Sicily, and gave us the first of the security lec­ tures that began to bombard our ears with increasing frequency. Step on British Soil. The sun was in their faces when the WACs first stepped on B ritish soil. The. honor of being the very first went to Sergeant Rosekrans. In the train shed the Royal Scots Fusiliers’ band struck up Sousa’s “King Cotton” march. Then once again we were on a troop train. The train moved and the WACs sped through a pleasant green coun­ tryside that may long be their home. After the train journey of several hours was over, the WACs shoul­ dered their musettes and marched two miles to a replacement depot. A cheerful Baptist chaplain, C. G. Strippy of Wollaston, Mass., gave the girls their favorite hands-across- the-sea story. He told them about the recently arrived private, dizzy with orientation, who was asked by an officer how he liked the British. Tne private replied: “Sir, we like the British and the British-like us, and them’s orders.” The chaplain joked that yesterday* was the first cheerful -baggage de­ tail he ever saw: He said he was admonished to look after their spir­ itual welfare and^he was going to da it, “no-matter what the odds.” NONE S t .

Keep Up Morale, Entertain Simply Even in Wartime Elven if all foods were rationed I’d still say, don’t ration hospitality for we need friendly get-togethers, the refreshment and relaxation that be­ ing with one’s friends gives. Dinners or. entertainments with stupendous foods are out of style at least for the present, but that doesn’t mean you can’t invite peo­ p le over for a steaming cup of hot coffee and a few simple but ta sty cook ies. And, if you want to do things more elaborately, why, it’s quite the thing to ask Mrs. Jones to bring over an extra supply of sugar or butter or canned goods if she has them—and is willing to share. Some time ago progressive din­ ners were quite the fashion. Now again they can become fun. The plan is to serve, let’s say three courses, and have each course at a separate home. It’s a good idea to have the homes within short walk­ ing distance of each other.' Serve soup or fruit cocktail at first home, the main course at the next home, and then have dessert and entertain­ ment at the third home. Or, after dessert, the group can plan to go to a movie or concert or to attend some sport in season. And now for the business of food— with a few points or none at all.

THYROID EXTRACT Dr. Bartini 'When an individual is nervous, jumpy, overactive mentally and physically, heart rapid, the physi­ cian usually advises a metabolism test which Shows the rate at which the body processes are workinjg. In a case such as.th e above, the test , will usually show that the body processes of this in­ dividual are work­ ing 15 per cent or more tester than normal. And the cause of this speed­ ing up process is an overactive thyroid gland. The treatment is rest and iodine and if necessary removal of the thyroid gland by surgery or X-rays. On the other hand, where the in­ dividual is sluggish mentally and physically, is overweight, and skin shiny, the metabolism test will usu­ ally show that the body processes are working at a rate of 15 per cent or more below normal. The cause is an underactive thyroid gland and these patients are given thyroid ex­ tract daily to bring the rate at which the body processes work up to normal. The above symptoms of the 'over- active and underactive thyroid gland describe what should be called advanced cases. What about cases where the symptoms are not so pro­ nounced? ' In .the slightly overactive cases, rest of body and mind is needed, and in the slightly underactive cases some stimulation of mind and body is needed. Physicians have been finding many children in whom nose and throat infections, and also intestine disturbances and infections occur so often that they suspect some under­ lying condition ot the body as be­ ing the cause. Dr. M. H. Stiles in “Archives of Pediatrics” (children’s diseases) states that because some children were having distension of the abdomen and other symptoms pointing to a lack of thyroid juice in the body, studies of the basal me­ tabolism were made in a group of 30 children and teen-age boys and girls, in whom there were persistent colds, bronchitis and inflammation of ears and of stomach and intestine. Of the 30 children studied, 90 per cent had basal rates below zero or less, and 60 per cent had rates of minus 10 or less, and for the whole group, the average rate was mi­ nus 11. Of the 30 patients studied, 18 were given thyroid extract. Of these 18, there were 15 who showed great im­ provement, and only three were not improved. Where, then, these symp­ toms keep occurring, the metabolism test might well be given.• * * E x c e s s F l u i d i n B o d y P u t s S t r a i n o n H e a r t When the heart is beginning to -fail, the first symptom noted is shortness of breath after exertion, and especially after eating. Palpi­ tation—hard beating of the heart— is another early symptom of a fail­ ing heart. Even lying down does not ease the shortness of breath or quiet down the palpitation for some min­ utes. Another symptom to appear in early heart failure is swelling of the ankles or of the other parts, espe­ cially the liver. The, first thought in the treatment of early heart failure is to reduce the amount of work done by the heart by resting more, strengthen­ ing the' power of the heart muscle yet quieting it if necessary. The drug used to strengthen the power of the heart is digitalis which not only slows, steadies and strengthens the heart action, but helps to drive the water from the tissues. The work of the heart is greatly reduced by re­ ducing the amount of water in the tissues. In Southern Medicine and Surgery, Dr. J. B. McLester*, Birmingham, the noted food and nutrition authori­ ty, makes the following suggestions in the treatment of heart patients. “Weigh the patient every day; in­ crease in weight is the first sign of excess fluid in the tissues. The in­ crease in weight occurs several days before the appearance of liquid- swelling—in the ankles and othen tissues. If the swelling (edema) is present or if the weight increases, have the patient stop using salt in his food and rest as much as possi­ ble.” Excess water in the tissues must be removed by use of ammo­ nium chloride, in 15 gram doses, three times daily for three days, if the low salt diet fails to remove it. ( QUESTION BOX Q.—What is the meaning of re­ infection type ' of tuberculosis? Is there a cure for it? A.—Reinfection type of tuberculo­ sis means that tuberculosis has healed, but lung has become infect­ ed again. Treatment is rest of the lung. Q.—Is the yolk of egg “butter fat?” A.—YoIk of egg is unusually rich in fat but it may not be classed ar “butter” fat. _ ..... _____ A i # S619 Large-Sized Vestee 'T'HE older woman sometimes A has difficulty in finding instruc­ tions to make a smart crocheted sleeveless vestee.

Walter E. lsenhour. Hiddenite. N. G, One of our readers who Is now a patient in a tuberculosis sanator­ ium says: "I used to read your ar tides in Blum’s Almanac, and I am glad to say that your writings are what got me started to thinking a- bout mv soul and looking to Christ as my Savior. I have read every article that I could get hold of that you wrote, and I have enjoyed them all. May God bless keep and guide you always.” It is always very encouraging to hear from our readers who have been heloed by our messages, poems and books. This dear man, though afflicted with T. B., sent us 50c. to show his appreciation of the work we are doing through our writing. May God bless him in a bountiful way and make him a blessing even among the patients of the sanator ium where he linfiers for treatment and reeovery. Let our readers re­ member him in earnest orayer. Another of our dear readers, Bro. Edwin Pearson, who is now in Sicily, writes these encouraging words: ‘ Dearbrother in Christ, I want to thank you from the bot. tom of my heart for the soul-sav ing copy of your book, ‘’Messages To Voung People,” which you sent me. I can honestly say that is the best thing I have ever bad the good pleasure to read, with the excep­ tion of the Holy Bible Oh, if on­ ly all young people wbo are lost in sin would read it! I’m sure they would see things in a different light. It has been a great blessing and spiritual inspiration to me. Your inspiring book has stopped me from smoking. Although I have been living a Christian Iffe for some time, yet I don’t know whether to give up the tobaeco ha­ bit or not. I would have done so before now, but wasn't sure if I was sinning or not. Thank you so much, for your book has set me straight. I now feel much better and cteanor as a whole. Myself and friends in Christ have been praying for you and your wonder­ ful work, and will continue to do so. We know you are doing much good, and wish we could help you I am now in Sicily. This is a very poor country, but the people are very friendly with us and glad we have come to free them from the Germans. They are evidently great Christians, because we see pictures of Biblical days and incidents al! over the island, in tbe homes ol the people and along walks framed and under glass. It .is great to know that people worship God in all parts of the world ’' This book, “Messages to Yoang People,” which has been such a help and blessing to this young sol­ dier, sells for only fifty cents. Our readers ought to get the book, Let me send you a copy. It is a nice cloth-bound little volume, fnll of important, vital truth for the young people. Send your order to me. IHiysicianl Heal Thyself When newspaper reporters recent' Iy called on Paul V. McNutt, be admitted that there was a "terrific1 waste of manpower in tbe Govern­ ment bureaucracy. So when tbe newspapermen ask­ ed him what he was going to do a bout it, ’since he had “Labor Utill zation Bureau” in tbe War Man power Commission, they were a. mazed to hear him- reply: “Nothing.” This is the same Mr. McNutt wbo sends out hurdreds of “utliza tion experts to tell businessmen how to run their businesses!. One word from President Roose­ velt and Secretary of the Interior Iekee does to suit himself. Concerning A Foorth Term As I rub the crystal ball I think I see that if the orders to cease fir. ing were to be given before the next national election Roosevelt would not consent to be a candl date for the 4th term. I believe that it will be found that tbe common man instinctively feels that if an organization ac­ quires too much power it will be. come self seeking and liable to cor. motion, therefore, he is unalter ably opposed to a long tenure of office. However, in times of nat ional stress more than one term may be advisable. If Washington had bad the in stincts and "cleverness” ot tbe pre­ sent-day politician be could have played his cards so that he might have become dictator of his coun. try, but then he would not be known as the father of this coun­ try, but then he would not be known as the father of bis country. If the practical politician were to be told this be would say “That’s Pollyanna stuff.” These fellows don’t miss any bets and they will circulate around tbe Main Streets to discover the trend of public 0 pinion, because votes always fol­ low that trend. Recall how Coolidge happened to be nominated. He. clamped down decisively on the Boston police strike thus upsetting some of the schemes of tbe practical politicials The politicians found that tbe trend of public opinion was with Coolidge and realizing that as public opinion goes so goes tbe votes, they pro­ ceed to build a bandwagon on which they conld get aboard and ride to jobs. Dewey is a much discussed can­ didate. Why? Simply because he delt on* stern justice to tbe New York racketeers, so the common man instinctively felt that Dewey was for him, and as tbe common man thinks so go tbe elections.—R. O. Vandercook. Whose Shoe Pinches? Smarting under criticis from the public, the OPA (at taxpayers' ex­ penses) recently recently released this little gem: “Our forefathers did without sugar until the 13th Century, with­ out buttered bread until the 15th Century, without potatoes until tbe 16th Century., without coffee, tea and soap until the 17th Century, without pudding until, the t8tb Century, and without gas, matches and electricity until tbe 19th Cen­ tury ” To whicU we migbt add tLat we all did without the OPA until the 20th Centrv, too. Too Many Maps Tbe members ot tbe Costello Committee investigating draft de. iertnents in tbe Federal service were surprised when they made an investigation of the hundreds of men deferred for essential map- making activities.” These Congressmen found tbat there are no less thun fifteen Gov­ ernment agencies making maps! And each of the agencies says tbat it is indispensable to the war effort. Three o( the map making agencies are in the Department ot the Inter J ior. One mao testified that bis bureau makes several million maps a year, but failed to tell_who is going places these days with so little gas available. Beware Of The Realists Many self termed “realists” de- clare that as far as tbe millions 0* men and women who work in large coeporate enterprises are concerned, it makes little difference whether government or private manage­ ment runs industry and signs tbe pay checks. For them, it is claim . ed, (opportunity and free enterprise are merely empty words. Govern ment domination is encouraged on the grounds that it is the easilest solution'to tbe grounds that it is easiest solution to the complex pro blems ot an industrial society. Such "realists,” and they are found in industry!as welt as in the ranks of Iahor and government, are sowing the seeds of destruction of our re­ public. Tbe problem of maintaining in­ dividual security and opportunity cannot be solved by tbe spinless ex pediency of government ownership Government ownership of basic in dustries, of mines, other natural re­ sources, power atid transporation, would open the way to termination of the liberty of every citizen. No matter bow large an industry may be, as long as it[is privately owned and operated, it represents econo­ mic freedom to those who work in it That is, they are economical­ ly free of any form of political coercoin Their jobs do not de­ pend upon how they vote. Destruction of representative gov­ ernment. This is a fundamental truth which every soldier and every war worker must keep clearly in mind during these troublesome times. —Wtlkes Journal Never Again Desire to get back to tbe days when a dollar was a dollar is voiced by the new president of the Invest­ ment Bankers association of Ameri ca. He might as well forget tbat. Those were the days when a man raised a family of eight children on $50 a month; now it pushes him to keep a wife a dog and no children on $300. Milk *ras bve cents a quart, aggs three dozen for a quart er. Those were the days of “Sun­ day” suits and Mondav jeans pants. The banker remembers when he worked iu the sun all day for a dol lar. In those days the man who hired dellar*a day hands himself worked nothing all day in the suti and Into half tbe night feeding tbe stock and getting things ready, to start over when first daylight struck. . The dollar will never be a dollar again. It takes a $5-oill to be a dollar tbese days. Tbe dollar will be lucky if ever again it is 50 cents. A dollar is mere chicken feed, «0 cheap tbat most people would ratb. er have the chicken feed.—Char. Iotte Observer. How to Earn $15,000 Easy Tbe Constitution of tbe United States provides that “the Vice-Pre- sident shall be the president of 'be Senate.” He is expected to pre­ side and vote in the event ot a tie. For that specified duty, be is paid regularly every month bv Uncle Sam at the $15,000 per year. But, in the first six weeks after Congress reconvened September 14, on tbe occasions when the presiding ing officer of the Senate was called upon to act. Mn Wallace was pre­ sent about' 30 per cent of tbe time. Perhaps the Vice-Presiden is on a one-man sit-down strike. Or perhaps he has his own ideas that the framers of the ConsHtu- tion didn’t think of as to what be is being paid for. And just maybe, be knows there is an election coming up next year year and he has stated the New Deal’s shopping early—war or no war. Whatever the good Henry bas in bis mind, he bas made pikers out of all of our oast Vice-Presidents who were customarily caricatured as a- sleep at their post. Robber; $500 A Poond Senator Butler, of Nebraska, who has just returned from a' trip through South America, says he is reliably informed that if total ap­ propriations are considered, the rub ber this country obtains in South America thus far averages about #500 a pound. • “We are better neighbors than we thought,” said one observer. “In fact, tbis is being too good a neighbor far my pocketbook. I can remember when if I made $i 000 a year I was doing good." Incidentally, Senator Butler said tbat our relations with’ Latin A. merica “would not be changed one iota by a change of administration” in this country. No. Senator, but rubber wouldn’t cost quite as mucb, we’ll bet. Give him a Crisp WAIt BOND for a CHRISTMAS present to be remembered. Keet on BACKING THE AT­TACK.

Far-Reaching Policy . The almost unconditional surrend­ er of the War Labor Board to de­ mands of the United Mine Workers threatens to disrupt the administra­ tion’s entire stablization program. Itisan entering wedge into one n- trolled inflation and is calculated to develop swiftly into an epidemic of strikes, on tbe part of labor, and in­ to demands to left all price controls on the part of farmers and manu­ facturers. One thing naturally leads another. The step wage increases granted the the miners will be reflected in higher coal prices, The prices of coal is an important item in rail transporta* tion and manufacturing cost? Oper ating on narrow margins, manage­ ments of such enterprise have a justi­ fiable basis for questing highest rates or ceilings. Taken as a whole, tiiere is no dif­ ference between laborers and cun sumers For tbe time being the coal miners will have an advantage over laborers in other fields but when wage and price adjustments have been completed, sweeping like a tor* nado over the nation's entire econo* mic system, none will be better off than before and quite a number- those who must live on fixed incomes like pensions, annunities or savings will be infinitely worse off The War Lsbor Board is well a. ware of the fact tbat in giving in to John L. Lewis it has lost prestige with the public, but excuses the sur render on the ground that the coun* try needs the coal. “We are not unmindful that failue to approve this contract might precipitate a re* petition of recent coal mine shut, downs throughout practically the en> tire nation,” said tbe four employer members of tbe board And then comes an indictment of governmen* tal labor policy which is at the bot­ tom of John L. Lewis’s arrogance and unreasonableness throughout the negotiations: “We know that the circumstances of the last seven months have raised around this contract many far-reacb* ing questions of governmental poli­ cy. Tbese larger questions of gov­ ernmental policy, the solution of which unhappily bas been too long deferred, will now, we hope, be faced and solved.”—Statesville Daily Boreaocracy At Work One of the fantastic things tbat you don’t believe bas just come to light here in Washington.- The Department of Agriculture issued a release commenting on tbe Executive Order of March 26, a* mended Aoril 19, and here is a statement from tbe official release: •‘The amendment of the Execu­ tive Order so defined tbe respective duties and functions of tbe Secre­ tary of the Agriculture and the War Food Administrator that each bas authority to exercise any and all powers vested in the other by statute or otherwise.” Tbis represents a record of some kind. For it seems tbat without legislation of any kind, we have bad since Oc’ober I two Secretaries of Agriculture and two War Food Administrators. Of course, what this incident, ab- suid <ts it is, really illustrates is the need for a single agency in charge of foodstuffs'to take tbe confusion out of production and price-fixing. Moonting The Goard On the same day that Ralph K. Davies, petroleum administrator.for war, disclosed tbat a labor short­ age was delaying the aviation gaso line program, a survey made in Washington showed tbat some 7,500 able bodies men and women are be* ing used to “guard” Government buildings.

Generally there are tour and five locks to tbe boll. Mr. Haves planted a new variety this year—Rooker-and bas found other bolls with with six and seven locks.

Bimtoon Bogers, a detective, asks what Annt Kitty died of, and Is told an over­ dose of morphine, although the police bold tbe opinion that it was suicide. Bar­ ry arranges to go with Dwight and Mar­ garet Nichols on a cruise to Mazatlan, Mexico, where Aunt Kitty's brother, 5am Chatfield, owns a rancho; On the yacht Orizaba he meets James Chesebro-and George Rumble. CHAPTER IV "Oh, here you are," she said, an indefinable note of happiness in her voice. “Hello, everybody.” She paused in the doorway, this lady with the almost golden hair and the levelest of gray eyes. It was impossible not to contrast this new, this mid-April Elsa with the Elsa of the preceding autumn. On that memorable night when I had driven her to town in her work­ ing girl suit and carrying an over­ night bag with just pajamas, be­ cause she had to have something, she had been like a high-strung, nervous colt at the barrier. Tonight a calm almost philosophic in its as­ pect had come upon her. No long­ er was the race so hot, the urge to be off so compelling. I realized, of course, that she experienced a sense of arrival. The notoriety of her car­ icatures had sobered her. “Now, good-bye, Barry,” she said, holding out her hand. "And a de­ lightful trip in the Orizaba with Twight and Margaret.” “Good-bye, Elsa. I’m sorry you’re Pt joining us.” VI am too; but there is this work . can't put off. Please give my love to Papa and Berta; you’ll see them at Mazatlan, of course.” Huntoon Rogers and I walked back together to the yacht; Dwight and Margaret had gone on ahead. The last guest had departed and we sailed in half an hour. “A remarkable girl, isn’t she?” Rogers said, referring to Elsa. “Extraordinary, I think.” “You’ve never been able to get anything out of her about the baby, and what she knows about the mur­ der of her Aunt Kitty?" “No-o,” I said hesitantly.. “Look here, Rogers—” “Yes, I know,” he cut me off. “I’m aware that you’ve been work­ ing quietly on certain angles of the case—” “I must be a hell of a detective,” I said in disgust. “First Elsa ac­ cuse? me of snooping, and now you.” “It’s a very peculiar case," he ob­ served thoughtfully. “Nothing is ob­ vious in it. Officially it is tagged suicide. It ends there. There’s noth­ ing to go on but the nose of one fellbw in-Pasadena, the chap who smelled chloroform. He has really a remarkable sense of smell. I’ve tested him. He sticks to it that there was-; an odor of chloroform in the room- There was no evidence of it In tee autopsy.”' “You’re satisfied she was mur­ dered?” "Of course. And I mean to help you,:get to the bottom of it.” Vie dropped anchor in the harbor at Mazatlan and the crew lowered the launch to the sparkling water of the ,bay where it floated lightly from the ; end of its boom awaiting our pleasure. However, now that we had arrived, there was no hurry to go ashore; we were in that land of rnahana where time does not press and liothing demands doing immedi­ ately. Dwight had come to fish, blit, as -we reminded him, there was to­ morrow. Of Mexico’s many charms the one that most endears itself to me is that indifference to time; nothing needs doing now. At home, time rides, me like the Old Man of the Sea ; , in Mexico I can relax. “Anybody going ashore now?” in­ quired Margaret briskly, coming up from: her stateroom. “Yes, I’m going,” responded Rog­ ers.!' I decided to join them. Two ragged boys in the idling crowd pushed forward as we started frbih' the wharf up narrow, twisting streets. Enormous sombreros shad­ owed, their dark faces in each of which gleamed a row of very white teetti. One carried a battered gui­ tar,,;, the other a ukulele. Strum­ ming fingers began resolutely to playL.When they had finished, Marga­ ret’s; hand dived swiftly into her purse and she held out a coin to the older boy. The latter backed away, shaking his head; the other thrust his ukulele and his free hand be­ hind him. "Muchas gracias, senora,” said the hoy with a sweeping bow, “pero no tomamos dinero." (We don’t take money.) Margaret continued to hold out the coin, and the boys backed far­ ther, away. There was a little ex­ pression of wonderment upon her face. I think, however, that of all the unexpected things, the things that have- taken me most by surprise in Mexico, none has equaled the sight, which confronted us as we came out on the Street of the High Waves that morning of our first ex­ cursion ashore. Margaret saw it first, ,and stopped abruptly to stare as. if she were seeing V ghost. Rog­ ers had seen it too, and I found my eyes traveling with theirs to a fig­ ure standing on the sidewalk. It was the pink shirt, the indecent pink and .white check shirt which had the lush color of a ripe water­ melon, that first claimed our atten­ tion. I noted the brown slacks. The incredible sports coat hung limply over one arm. An enormous black sombrero ornamented with silver topped the somewhat stocky figure, and loose, sandal-like guaraches covered his feet. “Barry, I’m seeing things,” said Margaret, aghast. She rubbed her eyes. “Do you see it too?” Before I could answer, Rogers re­ marked, “Has he but the one shirt, or do we see him only when it’s fresh back from the laundry?” At that moment the figure turned. Margaret exclaimed, “Why, Mr. Rumble!” “Hello, folks!” “Did Elsa come with you?” asked Rogers. “Sure, Hunt. Elsa and Chesebro and me. In his airplane. Chesebro piloted us down. We were setting around over there at Chesebro’s ranch in San Fernando Valley night before last when he gets a tele­ gram from down here saying he’s needed. Some sort of business about his mine. You know Elsa. ‘Take “Barry, I’m seeing things.” us with you, Jimmy!’ she hollered. ‘Just for the ride.’ ‘Sure,’ says Jim­ my. But I can see he don’t mean me when he says it. But you can’t see me staying behind when my cli­ ent is going away. But I sure don’t know where I’m coming to, see? I go around to the newspaper office a while ago, and heck, they ain’t no­ body who speaks English there. How am I going to tell ’em who Elsa is when I don’t speak Spanish? We ain’t going to get a line in the paper down here. Not a line.” “Where’s Elsa now?” demanded Margaret. “She went somewhere last night with a little old guy she called Pop­ pa. She’d wired him we were com­ ing, see? But I get dumped off down at a hotel where they ain’t even got stairways—” < “Just a minute,” said Margaret, breaking in. “Can you tell us where Elsa’s father lives and how we can get out there?” “I don’t know, Mrs. Nichols. I ain’t seen the place, either. It was dark when I drove up to the hotel with the Cheese from the airport, and I didn’t see which way Elsa and her poppa went. What do you think of my new clothes? I just bought some Mexican shoes and a hat to show these guys down here that us Gringos don’t hold any grudges against the Mexicans. Was just starting out to have a look-see around the town when I run into you folks.” As we stood talking a dispirited horse drawing one- of those two­ wheeled carriages they call aranas drew near. It was shabby, the fringe that edged the top hung in shreds; the rubber tires were worn almost to the rims; the wheels wabbled, and the harness was partly of rope. The driver lolled in his seat indif­ ferent to his passenger, who, when she saw us, came suddenly to life. She reached across the driver to a small bulb horn on the whip socket and squeezed; the thing emitted a faint peep. She stirred it into frantic announcement of her arrival. And when the quaint equipage halted at our side, there was Elsa— Elsa as blonde and lovely and fresh and level gray of eye as ever. She smiled engagingly. “Buenos dias, senora y senores,” she greeted us.. . “Don’t do that, sweetheart,” chid­ ed Mr. Rumble. “I don’t savvy Mexican lingo.” “Hello,” said Elsa, smiling broad­ ly. There was amusement in her eyes- as she gazed at George Rum- I W.N.U.9 A e a v ic e l ble’s remarkable costume, then she leaped out and flung her arms around Margaret. She had a kiss for me and a warm handshake for Rogers. “I’m so glad,” she said. “And now, Margaret—and the rest of you too—Papa and Berta are ex­ pecting you all out to dinner tonight at the rancho. Jimmy and Reed are coming too, I think. If they get back from the mine in time." At eight-thirty that night the huge studded doors of the old ranch- house at the edge of. town swung back to let Huntoon Rogers and me inside. The house was a relic of other more spacious days before time and revo­ lution had reduced the acreage of the rancho. The others of the party had preceded us, and we found them all gathered in a huge room filled with ancient black walnut furniture marvelously carved. Sam Chatfield and Berta, whom we had met that February evening at the beach club, greeted us with enthusiasm. That night in California Berta had been restrained, confined by strange con­ ventions, unresponsive; this evening she was free of those, at home in her native land, and in the house where her family for several generations before her had lived. “Most welcome, senores,” she said with a marvelous smile and a small soft hand extended impulsive­ ly. “I am happy to have you With us.” Later that evening, Sam Chatfield said: “Hollywood? Yes, I enjoyed it the last time I was there, but I like this better. Berta is a child in some things, the same loves and hates of a child, the quick resentments of in­ jury whether fancied or real.” He was speaking to Huntoon Rogers and me in the seclusion of a small book-lined study- which opened off the living room. Berta was enter­ taining the others in the huge high- ceilinged living room. “You were in California at the time your sister died, were you not? At tee funeral, I mean?” asked Rog­ ers casually. A remarkable change came over Sam Chatfleld’s face, his whole man­ ner was transformed. From a se­ rene, quiet-spoken man of middle years, who talked calmly of the Mex­ ican life that surrounded him, he went to extremes of loquacity, lean­ ing forward in his chair, points of light glowing in the depths of his gray eyes—the same eyes that Elsa had. “Yes. Yes, we were there, Berta and I. We were there before the funeral, before Kitty died, in fact. We were at the house that night. Slept tfcere, and next morning—she was found dead." Rogers shock his head slowly. “It must have SMen a shock to you, sir,” he remarked. “Shock? Of course. It was very awkward, also. Wa were not sup­ posed to be stopping with my sis­ ter; we were registered at a hotel. In Pasadena.” “You say—awkward?” “Yes, Mr. Rogers. My sisteT would not recognize Berta, my wife. Imagine that! My sister with ideas like that! And Berta—you see around you, gentlemen, what Berta is used to from childhood. She was educated in Paris. She is not an in­ ferior, as my sister stubbornly chose to believe. It was that fact which made for the awkwardness. Ikept it from her as long as I could— Kitty's attitude toward her. On our yearly trips to Los Angeles since Berta and I were first married, Kit­ ty would send word that she was away, or that she was ill and could not see anyone. Berta was puzzled; she did not understand. “But this last time—I mean the time Kitty died—I could no longer pretend to Berta, and so I tele­ phoned from the hotel after dinner. I said that we would be over to see her, to make a call. But after I hung up Berta said: ‘No. We take our luggage. We stay at least one night with your -sister.’ You see, she realized the situation in spite ,of my effort to keep it from her. She was determined to force the issue.” ' Sam Chatfield ceased talking and sat back in his chair. After more than a year the subject still agi­ tated him; his face was flushed un der its tan. “What happened?” Rogers prod ded gently. For a moment Sam Chatfield held his silence. “You see, gentlemen, Elsa has told me about you—youf interest in my sister’s death. I am being very frank with you; I hope I am helpful.” “I’m sure you would be,” said Rogers. “That’s why I say it was very awkward for me—and Berta. That’s why I hurried back to Mazatlan aft­ er the funeral. That last night of her life there was a very disgrace­ ful scene. My sister insulted Ber­ ta. And me.” i “You didn’t go back to your ho­ tel?” “No. Berta—” He smiled now with amusement at the recollection. “Berta can be very stubborn, mosl attractively stubborn. She puts hei littie foot down and she said: ‘No, Sam. We stay one night as her guest. But no more.’ She was an­ gry. You’ve not seen how angry a Mexican can get—especially Berta. Her brother, now dead, killed a mar for less than what my sister sax that night to Berta. - (TO BE CONTINUED); IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S U N D A Y IC H O O L L esson B r HAROLD L.

Lesson for November 28 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se» /ected and copyrighted by ,International Council of Religious Education; used by TRUTHFULNESS AT ALL TIMES LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:18; 23:1, Ti Matthew 5:33-37: John 8:42*45.GOLDEN TEXT—Wherefore putting away lying speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we'.are members one of an­ other.—Ephesl-uis 4:25. God hates ail kinds' of dishonesty —a fact which is emphasized by the additional commandment re­ garding truthfulness which is before us in this lesson. . God is truth, that is, the very es­ sence of His nature- is truth. In Him is no darkness at all (I John 1:5). Lying or false witness there­ fore reveals a character opposite to God. Hence we are not surprised to find in our lesson that Satan is a liar and the father of lies, and that liars are his children. I. The Nature of a Lie (Exod. 20:16; 23:1, 7). The commandment against false witness brings before us one form of lying—for it has to do with perjury, that is,, the telling of an untruth in court. This is one of the worst forms of lying, because it may result in the one against whom it is practiced los­ ing his liberty, his life or his prop­ erty. It may mean the destruction of his good reputation. It is obvious, however, thai the commandment covers all forms of lying, whether in business, in social contacts, in the home, or in the church. We might do well to con­ sider what the Bible has to say about whisperers, talebearers, back­ biters, and others (see Lev. 19:6; H Cor. 12:20). A man’s reputation may be as easily ruined by a whis­ pered lie over the back fence or the luncheon table as by formal per­ jury in the courtroom. “Thou shalt not bear false witness” at any time, anywhere, or in any way. II. The Practice of Lying (Matt. 5:33-37). The people of our Lord’s day (and who can say that the custom has stopped) were in the habit of telling lies and then trying to make others believe them by an oath. They would swear by heaven, or the throne of God, or some other sacred thing, and thus try to en­ force their false word by some great authority. The liar is always under neces­ sity of doing something—perhaps telling another lie—to cover his falsehood. When his comfort or ad­ vantage seems to be endangered be­ cause he is not believed, he brings an oath to bear upoin his statement. Jesus taught the great virtue of simple living and simple speech. A plain “yes” or “no” is usually suf­ ficient for the situation: Qualifying words are apt to lead us astray. The. life of a Christian should be so true and above board that no oath should be needed to assure one of his sincerity and honesty. Since not all are Christians, it is a necessity that men be placed un­ der some kind of oath or affirmation in judicial matters. -Hence we need not "interpret this Scripture as for­ bidding an oath in court It may be well to say a word about swearing in general. It is all too common among men, women and children. No Christian should ever be guilty of it, or that which sounds like it. We need admoni­ tion and correction at that point. III. The Source o f AU Lies (John 8:42-45). The devil is a liar, and the father of lies. Liars are members of his family. Jesus said it, “Ye are of your father the. deVU-.”- ; Liars had better consider their “family tree” and see howTthejKlike their spiritual father., He is lustful, murderous, and there is no truth in him (v. 44). If you belong to that family would you not like to change families and be bom again into God’s family? Sadly enough the constant lying of the world seems to have infected the minds and hearts of Christians. Instead of being cleansed from this worldly' defilement they carry its aw­ ful tendencies into the church. Is it not too true that gossip'(which is almost always lying), false witness., the tearing down of someone’s! good name, is all too, common in the church?- • The great lie- within the - church; and one of Satan’s prize exhibits, is the falsehood of modern religious liberalism (so-called) which is es­ sentially a denial of real New Testa­ ment Christianity. Jesus said (v. 42) that if God is our Father we will, accept Him as the Christ. The one who speaks sweet words about the example, the manhood, the lead­ ership Of the Master and who denies Him His place as God is clearly in mind here as a follower of the fa­ ther of lies. Note that in verses 45-47 Jesus challenges His enemies to convict Him of sin or of falsehood. No one has. ever been able to meet that challenge. The claims he made for Himself as the Son. of God and the Saviour of the world are plain and unmistak­ able. If we deny them we either make Jesus a liar, or we Ue our­ selves, . and it is obvious that, .tbe. latter is the case. ! .. Transfer No. Z9585. DANHOLDER styles to please * everyone.

Cautious Rulers Because death was commonly in­ flicted by food or wine poisoning in the early days, members of royal families took special precau­ tions at the dining tables. Charles IX of France Was particularly cau­ tious in this regard and even sus- picioned his own servants. Before drinking wine, he always tested it with a “Unicorn’s Horn”—if poi­ son was present the horn-was' supposed to change color. As a second precaution he car­ ried with him a bezoar—a growth from the intestines of a herbivo­ rous animal—which was believed to absorb poisons.

Let’s all thank the Lord for bis goodness and mercy to us. Thanksgiving Day Nov­ ember 25th Gov.

He enlisted in the clos­ ing hours of World War I, on Octo- iber 5, two days after the Germans asked President Wilson for an ar- jmistice. He was made a second 'lieutenant on October 26, on the 'yery day Ludendorff resigned his German command. Not that Lieu­ tenant Deane had the field marshal worried. The two events just hap­ pened to dovetail. By the next Feb­ ruary it was First Lieutenant Deane. He lagged for a while after that; He waited 16 years for his majority. But he is a major - general now, and his present job in Moscow, at the head of the American military commission which is supposed to blow all bottlenecks out of our Iend-Iease program there, is likely to move him still farther upward, and at a fast pace, too. Deane is a Californian. Better, he belongs to the toploftical inner circle of Californians who were bom in San Francisco, that romantic cen­ ter of fogs, tip-tilted streets and overcoated evenings. He belongs to the army’s inner circle, too, is a graduate of the Army War college, where only the smart officers go, and of the Command and General Staff school. Forty-seven now, in his 26 years of military life he has served in nine states, the Panama Canal Zone and China. Just before Cie Moscow trip he was secretary of the Combined Chiefs of Staff in Washington. That, too, is a job which goes only to the smart offi­ cers.

GOP candidates won not only the posts they were expected to get but also some they were not expected to get. Three of the victors are pictured above. Left: Walter E . Edge, Republican, elected governor of the State of New Jersey. Center: Joe R. Hanleyt Republican, elected lieutenant-governor of New Tork state. Right: Simeon S. Willis, Republican, elected gov* eraor of Kentucky in a tight vote battle. Kentucky had not elected a Republican governor since 1927. The recent election was said to have been the closest In that state since 1915. In Philadelphia, Pa., Mayor Bor* nard Samuel won over his Democratic opponent, William C. Bullitt, former ambassador to Russia and France. F o u r T y p ic a l U . S .

Now those K j » /*«.- t ' citizens of EcuadorsChiefm his sman Another Friendly country who Gesture to U. S. .wisJ1 *° get into the fight may enlist in our armed forces with his approval. Under Dr. Arroyo’s presiden­ cy, Ecuador has sold us valua­ ble rubber, has leased us invalu­ able naval and air bases on the mainland and on the Galapagos islands. Dr. Arroyo has made us a state visit, too. In 1912, a tall, heavy man with a big nose, a receding pompadour, mus­ tache, dignity, he visited Wash­ ington, West Point and New York. His only son is being edu­ cated here. The small republic sitting so cock- ily astride the equator has had 22 presidents since 1897. Dr. Arroyo, elected in 1940, seems destined to £11 out his four-year term. Born in i893 in Guayaquil, educated there, his personality' smacks of this pro­ gressive seaport, rather than that of ancient, dreamy Quito, high above In the mountains. He received his law degree at 20, practiced corporation law with solid success, taught in .his alma mater, the University of Guayaquil, served many terms as deputy to the national legis­ lature, was elected to the senate and finally presided over the en­ tire congress. He refused to be candidate for president twice but luckily for us was willing in 1910. SPORTS writers who knew him when he was running the ath­ letic show at West Point said then that Maj. Philip Bracken Fleming ■ > . r-1 . ww was a tact-Maj. Fleming Has ful adminis. 3 Words to Ease trator, never A Tough Problem f* a loss fo5 the word needed to ease a bad situation. Now that he is a major general and Fed­ eral Works administrator, he still has the needed word. Three, in fact! They are: “A billion dollars.” s That much money, the general reckons, will nicely cushion the impact of postwar unemploy­ ment feared by so many. Re­ publican voices offstage seem to groan that so much money ought to cushion anything, but the tact­ ful general pays them no never­ mind. Fleming finished up with West Point 10 years ago. An army engi- . neer, with a highly regarded knowl­ edge of construction, he was draft­ ed by Roosevelt, a fledgling presi­ dent then, to head bp the Public Works administration. He has done a passel of jobs since hat time and has been called an dce New Deal trouble shooter. He has been FWA administrator for two years and before that wiped up a lot of spilled milk for the Wage-Hour administration. - . Major Fleming is just a little short of 60 years old now. His hair is graying, his mustache is gray, but his eyebrows are startlingly black, with a heavy, quiet face and a full mouth. He was born in the Middle West; Iowa, in fact, and was graduated . from West Point'In 1911.

New Guinea isn’t exactly a resort but it is far more habitable now than it was before the Uncle Sam Im­ provement company went to work on it. The air corps’ flying boxcars have hauled in everything from trac­ tors to hairpins and continue to haul in more all the time. Air strips have made it possible for planes to get to a lot of formerly inaccessible places. One run that used to take 35 days, now takes 35 minutes. Back home when something like a road had to be built you’d see surveyors, inspec­ tors and blueprints- in a huddle for days. Here they just go out and build the road. AU civilians have been evacuated and traffic is strictly military. There’s one exception: an old, faded blue sedan with the top gone and fenders rusted away. A Port Mores­ by resident gave it to one of the soldiers after it had been hit by bomb fragments, and the soldier fixed it up. His biggest problem was fitting it with a salvaged truck radi­ ator. Since there is no place to go on the island he uses it in an official capacity during the day. At night he carries' buddies to motion pic­ tures at other camps. Always Wet. The dampness is perpetual. After all sorts of experiments to combat it the army finally is moving up on stilts and into trees. Platforms are built of hard wood and floored with split bamboo. Pyramidal tents are erected on the platforms. You reach the front door by climbing up a lad­ der. The ever-necessary air-raid trench is built somewhere under­ neath, which makes the trench rea­ sonably dry. In the past, G.I.’s who couldn't swim came close to drown­ ing while sweating out Jap night raids. This way you have only liz­ ards and centipedes to worry about. Except for these who live in Port Moresby, the natives parade around lightly clad. Gals generally wear what amounts to the equivalent of an old pen wiper. Children get by with strings of beads. These natives are generally always withont bracelets, trinkets or charms of any sort be­ cause souvenir-happy Yanks have bought them all. Until the depart­ ment of agriculture banned grass skirts from import into the United States an acre or so of grass went down every day to build hay dresses for the little girls back home. One unanswered question is wheth­ er the natives are more curious about the strange ways and belong­ ings of the newcomers or whether it’s vice versa. Native Cooking. If you’re not around at chow time you’re just not going to be fed be­ cause there is no place where you could possibly eat. A couple of air force boys, on one of those rare things, a day off, went fishing and forgot about chow time. One of them figured it might not be a bad idea to go back through the near-by native village and try to mooch a meal. It was easier than they had figured. The boss man said: “You have kaikai,” which is one way of saying, “Will you hang around and put the nosebag on with us?” The meal turned out to be a four-course dinner, starting out with some stalks of sweet cane, followed by coconut meat and bananas,-which had been wrapped in leaves and roasted. For no good reason at all the latter tasted like potatoes. Thelastcourse could not be identified. It came out of the community pot, but it was re­ ported to be good. These natives eat only one meal a day, but it’s so big they spend the evenings sitting around groaning and massaging swollen bellies with- coconut oil. Incidentallyr natives re­ move the ontside husk of a coconut with a sharpened stick in some few seconds. It takes a soldier 25 min­ utes if he has an ax, a screwdriver and a jungle knife. Japanese wreckage has been put to some local use. Bayonets have been cut down to throwing knives for the' popular pastime of tossing at card­ board targets on which is plastered Tojo’s puss. Shell cases have been cut down to ash trays. Natives use Jap ammo pouches for handbags. Husband Is Boss. Many a sergeant who gives orders now, but -knows that when the war is over his wife will give them, looks with admiration upon the native men who sit around while the gals do more work per capita than army mules. Everybody works but father. New Guinea has been made habit­ able and it probably, is as good a place to fight a war. from as any. But, in the average dogface’s opin­ ion, if Manhattan was only worth 824, New Guinea isn’t worth two cents. It’s a nice place to visit bnt no place to live.

Unless something was done, and done quicldy, we would soon be without rubber. And without rubber, no plane could fly, no tank could move, no ship could sail, no truck could roll, people could not get to work, materials could not move to and from plants. H iat was the situation the Government and the rubber companies had to lick inside of two years if America was to stay in the war. Let’s see what you think. Right now, there is nearly enough rubber to meet our essential needs. Today, this threat to American victoiy is merely an unpleasant memory, because Government, the Rubber Director, and a group of industries —rubber, petroleum, chemical, alcohol—work­ ing together, compressed into less than two years a job that would normally have taken a dozen years. B u t. . . Because the public saw huge synthetic rubber plants shoot up almost over night, and heard that synthetic rubber was in large-scale production, they famed the tire headache was almost over. T U tO — This is the situation today—the rubber supply crisis is past, but the long predicted and anticipated tiie shortage Is with us. Why is this so, when thousands of tons of Gov­ ernment synthetic rubber are now being .made? Why is this so, when fhe rubber industry is pro­ ducing a tremendous tonnage of rubber products and more airplane and truck tires than ever before? Because, as die Baruch Committee foresaw— the fact that few tires could be made until we had our synthetic rubber supply well on the way, resulted in millions of tires going out of service without replacement—and those re­ maining have less mileage In them . Inventories of prewar tires are gone. : Because our military needs are way beyond'any- one’s anticipations. Because the rubber companies m ust use a lot of Ilieir manpower and machines to make bullet- - sealing gas tanks and hundreds of other rubber products for war, In addition to tires. Because half of today’s requirements are for heavy-duty, large-size truck, bus, combat, artil­ lery, and airplane tires, requiring many, many tim es the labor and materials of peacetime se ed s. . . and finally. . . Because the manpower shortage hangs over the tire industry as it does over alliindustry, and there, are just too few hands for the jt>b. These problems will be licked when our enemies IR licked. Meanwhile, we want to tell you frankly that unless you, and all tire-owners continue to make the preservation of tires a vital personal problem . . . our home-front transportation will break down and slow up the war production of America. The way out is for you to conserve the tiies you’ve got—stretch their life in eveiy way you can. T x a d z T ib e t Do no unnecessary driving. Live up to the government regulation—don’t exceed 35 miles an hour. Keep your tires inflated up to recommended pressure, and check them every week. Avoid lutting holes in the road, or bruising your ; tires on curbs or stones. Don’t start or stop suddenly.. Slow down for sharp comers. See that your wheels and axles are in line. Switdi your tires from wheel to wheel every five: thousand miles, and have them inspected regularly for removal of foreign objects and repair of cuts. And—m ost important of all —recap your tires as soon as they become smooth. Though not all civilians will be able to get syn­ thetic rubber tires in the near future, yon may be one of those who will. Therefore, you should Imow . . . and remember. . . these facts: FACTS ABOUT PASSENGER CAR TIRES The synthetic rubber tire is not yet an improve­ ment but it will keep your car rolling through the ; emergency. In many respects, the new synthetic rubber tires' are an unknown quantity. How they would behave at the phenomenally' high speeds of prewar days is purely academic. The I patriotic citizen knows that high speeds wear out his i treads far faster than the recommended speed o f' S5 miles per hour, and drives accordingly. Under-inflation, driving over rough roads, and; other abuses are bad for all tires—but today’s evi- dence is that synthetic tires will stand less of these j abuses than the tires you have been used to. But, since these tires will be rationed to you In trust for the nation, it will be your dug to take ‘ every possible care of them, and to prevent mis­ use and abuse. As we gain more experience with synthetic rub­ ber tires, more and more things will become known about them, and the public will be kept informed. 11 you use synthetic rubber tube*, be sure tiey are property installed. They should bes put into the ' tire, then inflated, deflated, and inflated again. And they should never be mounted on rusty rims. FACTS ABOUT TRUCK AND BUS TIRES On truck and bus tires, particularly in over-the- road, intercity service, the situation is less satis* factory. Truck and bus tires are operated under more severe conditions than passenger car tires. They are heavier, thicker—generate more heat. H iey are all too frequently overloaded, must travel on any kind of highway their work requires. Again we’ll be perfectly frank about it: synthetic truck and bus tires now built will not stand all the abuse that the prewar tire would take, especially overloading. Progress is being made eveijr day—but overloading which damaged a prewar tire can ruin today’s synthetic rubber tire. The Tire Industry is bending every effort to solve the serious problems of furnishing satisfactory and sufficient tires to the truck and bus field. But a serious threat still exists to our most vital transportation. So remember th is—while the treads of pres­ ent truck and bus tires are vitally jnportant. the of these tires have a value to our track operators, and to the nation, that is beyond price. Unless these tires are made to last and last, there is almost certain to be a breakdown of truck service. : Every one of these tires must be recapped the very minute it needs it—before any damage is done to the carcass. Speeds must be cut down, especially on hot toads. Overloads must be eliminated. Proper Inflation Is a necessity. Operators, garage men, drivers, all have a heavy. responsibility that they cannot now avoid. These are straightforward statements. The warning must not go unheeded. A new tire warranty recognizes these conditions, but the real job is conservation! & Ttev — With conditions as they are, and synthetic rub­ ber in its present stage of development, a new tiro warranty has become necessary and has been adopt* ed.

C.—How important is the average worker’s war bond purchases out of his pay every payday in the grand strategy of the Allied High Command? Does the extent ot his, or her War Bond allotment have a part in determining when, where and the strength of our military blows?/ ' .1Sgjgpi*-1 Any worker listening in on a recent con- K SsM FRBP' versation between General George C.' Marshall, s President Roosevelt’s Chief of Stafl, and Secre­ tary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthaul Jr., learned the answers to these questions. Said General Marshall: “Mr. Secretary, I want you to answer a GeorgeaMarshall question for me and to answer it with complete frankness. Can we military leaders plan to fight this war in an orderly way—in the surest and most effective man­ ner—or must we take extraordinary risks for fear the money will not hold out?” Replied Secretary Morgenthau: “General, the American public will take care of that. What they have done in the Srcoud War Loan drive—the money they have produced and the spirit they have shown—is proof enough for me that they will not let our fighters suffer from lack of support until we ?c!iieve complete victory, no matter how long that may be nor how much it may cost.” Up your War Bond allotment out of your wages tcfday. Figure it out for yourself how much above XO per cent it should be.IT. 5. Tteasuir Deptttmettt Henry Morgenthan, Jr. Walker's Funeral Home, AMBULANCE Phone 48 Mocksville, N.
