But why not be truthful and say to the honest newspaper man just what you feel in your heart. Go into his den, ask him how much you owe, pay the delinquincy and tell him frank Iy that you don’t want his disre­ putable, blackguard sheet any Ion' ger. Say to him in a sorrowful tone of voice that you deeply regret his inability to publish a newspaper worthy the name and advise him to sell his plant to some man with a thimble full of brains and seek some occupation which does not require much wear or tear of mind. Do this and then you can go away with the comforting assurance that the editor respects you for your candor and will cherish no hard feelings be­ cause you choose to borrow his paper instead of buying it. “Geese is a Bird-’, But Read a St. Louis Boy’s Johnny Truehart, twelve, in the fourth-grade of the St. Louis pub­ lic schools, may never make a ShakespeareorMilton.

Now that the checker-board liquor bill iB again in conference to iron oat differences in views held by the two houses, a few amendments which have not been considered, should be appended. We offer the following which, we believe, will make the bill ideal: 1. Make it unlawful to sell liquor to children under two years of age unless they are accompanied by their parents or: lawful guardian. 2. Make it unlawful to sell liquor to persons over 95 years of age un less they are United States Supreme Court justices. 3. Make it unlawful to put li­ quor in barrels of a capacity over 100.000 gallons or in retail contain­ ers smaller.than one-tenth of a pint. 4. Make it unlawful for a private citizen to have more than 500 gal­ lons of one kind of liquor in bis home at one time unless he holds an official permit—official permits to be issued free and without examina­ tion of any kind. 5.

But evidently the offender* don’t believe tnuley bulls will hook, and they have good and sufficient reasons. “Either the judge fails to apply his philosophy after conviction or an obliging solicitor nol prosses cases before the well-meaning jnr ist gets a whack at them. And we are offering as exhibit A, the Gaston county court in which So­ licitor Carpenter threw out nearly fifty per cent of the cases coming under this head. “Commenting on these bench' lectures, the Cbarlote Observer says: “Practically every charge to grand juries reverberates with brist­ ling invectives from the judges a- gainst the demons of the roads who' are writing a new high in the bloody history of motor car dis­ aster in the State. “Their diatribes are appreciated and every whit deserved.

Despite all the talk and fuss about President Roosevrit’s proposal to in -.rease the membership of the United States Supreme Court from nine to Sfteen members, there really isn’t 'ery much to argue about. It’s an open and shut proposition The three departments of our Fed aral government are supposed to be three distinct and separate units, ex- -cutive, legislative and judicial. The reason why the President vants to add more men to the Su- oreme Court is so that he can appoint judges who will carry out his wishes. That means that the judicial branch of the government would be subser -dent to the executive branch. In addition to that, there is one more important factor to be consider­ ed. President Roosevelt was elected by an overwhelming majority at the last election. The Senate and House of our National Congress are also Democratic by a wide margin. Th-e means that most of the membership will be inclined to back up anything and everything that the President -uggests. Which means further that not oniy the judicial branch of the government but also the legislative branch would be subservient to the Chief Executive. In other words, it is apparent that unless the brakes are applied we are going to have a political dictatorship in this country which will be almost like that now in existence in Germany and Italy. The power of a dictator in the hands of President Roosevelt might be a grand thing. It should be re­ membered, however, that Mr. Roose­ velt will not always be president: that other administrations will follow his and that we might not approve of placing into their hands the authority which Mr. Roosevelt is now seeking for himself. They, too, would be able to pack the Supreme Court and make that body conform to their wishes. They, too, would be able to control Congress. They, too, would be able to control Congress. They, too, would be able to rule things with an iron hand. But their method of handling the nation’s affairs might not be to our liking at all. Never­ theless, the power would be theirs, and we could do nothing about it. And that is why we said at the out­ set that this is an open and shut pro­ position, with very little room for argument in it. Are we going to place all of our governmental power — executive, judical and legislative—in the hands of man. or are we . going to keep them separate and apart, as has been the case in the past? That’s all there is to it, and it’s a question for each individual citizen to answer for himself.—The State. Executor’s Notice.

M. A -HARTMAN. Clerk of the Superior Court. Asking For Too Much Power. It has been widely forecast that this Congress would be qniet and oeacefnl. and would follow the President’s wishes with little op­ position. But now the stage is set for one of the longest, most acrimonious and most important congressional battles in years. Cause is the Pre ■iident’s message on changes be would like made in our judiciary system. Certain phases of the message— iuch as the proposals to empower the Chief Justice to shift iower courts to the Supreme Court—will meet with the agreement of almost everyone. But the big thing is the proposal that would authorize the President for every justice now on the court whose age is 70 or more. That has split party lines wide open. Leading Democratic news papers have come out against it. A Democratic bloc, under Senator Glass, has been organized in the Senate to fight the measure In Auential Senator Norris, who sees eye to eye with the President in most matters, has expressed has expressed his disapproval. This is hot the first attempt by presidents, to overturn the princi­ ples of American democracy and government by seizure of legisla­ tive and judiciary power unto them­ selves, but previous efforts along this line have met with little sue cess. Those who oppose the Pre sident in what appear to be dictator- establishing gestures, hope that this bold effort to ‘ pack "the Su­ preme Court” with “rubber stamp men” to interpret the Constitution as the present President sees fit, will be equally unsuccessful. It has long been known that the President has been considering va­ rious plans for “curbing” the power of the courts to annul laws passed by Congress. Now the is- sue is in the open at last.—Mont­ gomery’s Vindicator. Road Money for Roads. There is an increasing resentment on the part of many people in North Carolina relative to the diversion of funds from the Highway Depart­ ment. We had two main divisions of tax- money in this State. Money derived from income taxes, specific license taxes and franchise taxes go into the general fund. That money can be used to pay the expenses of the various departments of state govern­ ment and also to take care of our state institutions. But the money which goes into the Highway De­ partment is collected with the defi­ nite understanding that it is to be used in the construction and main­ tenance of our highways. When a man pays six cents tax on a gallon of gasoline, he does so uncomplain­ ingly because he takes it for granted that, the six cents will go into the fund for which it is intended: a fund which will provide him with good roads on which to travel. Now then, if he finds that that money is being used for other pur­ poses. it is only natural that he should be resentful. Those “other purposes” should be taken care of through the collection of other taxes. Diversion of highway funds is a dangerous thing. The money is there—and it is a big temptation to take part of it. A small diversion, harmless in itself, will lead to other and larger diversions. Definite steps should be taken to prevent this loot- ihg bf:the highway fund. for it is a moei^hfcjjnst and tfrifair pfocedgre.-- The State.' ' North Carolina’s Joke- smith In A New Role.

WNU Servico SYNOPSIS Ibsla Msrsbl pretty, selfish and twenty, ar­rives home in Corutih from school and is met by her older brother, Hugh. Ho drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Keaia’s sis­ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the care of three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh’s wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his^ job at the steel plant founded by one of his fore­bears, Hugh passes Doc Hiller,. a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be­cause of Dome's antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh ‘*rakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband. Jim, whose unstable char­acter she fears Kezia has inherited. Soot* Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an^ artis­tically inctined girl who is a distant niece of Fluvanna’s and a favorite of Hugh’s. She hap­pily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not ap­prove clie matclu Hugh and Dorrie go out to the FKeIand Farms to dance with tneir friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who has been out of work, announces tliat he has landed a new position. They see Ellen Pendle­ton and Jerry Psrnlue. Cun and Dorrie dance together and then disappear for a while.

When Ellen and Jerry speak abont their engagement to Elten’s parents, Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym­pathizes with her iinacrined ailments. Gavin, a banker, is cold to Jerry’s proposal. Whi’e Ltz- tie unbends slightly, the matter is left pending. CHAPTER III—Continued *‘lt’s a shame when a woman is at the age when she can enjoy life most,” continued Jerry, “and she is taken with something ghastly like that! My aunt was a wonder­ful looking woman too.” He hitched his chair an inch or so nearer Liz­zie, looked into her face with sym­ pathy and interest. % Pale fires, lit in her eyes, a re­vival of vanity. "Wonderful? . . . Perhaps not now, but you should see my pictures taken when I was Ellen’s age! I remember when I was young and lived in Ridley, Mr. Parkinson—later he became the lumber capitalist out west somewhere, Oregoni I think—used to call me the Rose of Sidleyl . . . You remember that, don’t you, Gavin?”“Uh-mm.”wEllen has something of my look —at times.”"A girl is usually indebted to her mother for her charm.”Lizzie laughed and tapped him with her eyeglasses. "I see why my girl was so taken with you!” The ice in her voice which had broken up with mention of her ill­ness, now became a fluid running quantity, light, even playful. “But, seriously speaking, we feel our child is too young to think of get­ting married."“Working?'' asked Gavin in the first pause. <“I have a job as storekeeper at the Arrow Steel Works,” Jerry an­swered.“H’much?”“Thirty-five a week.” His fist at his lip, Gavin shook his head. “N’much.” “No, but I have hopes of get­ting something better. A fellow has to start at the bottom in the steel business. I intend to go to the school for salesmen if I can get in.”Gavin looked at him through his thick-lensed glasses. “Keep a car?”“A sort of one.” Jerry grinned. Gavin glanced at Jerry’s suit meaningly. He had computed its cost and suspected Jeny of ex­travagant taste in clothes. Lizzie shook her head at him. “Settle it again—no hurry,” he muttered. He left the room precipitously and did not return.Lizzie changed to a more com­fortable chair, and drewn by Jer­ry’s deferential attention, recount­ed in a tangential flow stories of her activities before she had been stricken, of her two sons, Caleb and Gavin Junior, the trouble she had keeping competent help, the oriental rugs she had bought, and the hotels she had found most agreeable in Atlantic City.It was almost twelve when she rose to go upstairs. She even shook hands with Jerry cordially “Be patient," she admonished them. “I’ll see what I can do with her fa­ ther.”Ellen went to the front steps with Jerry. “You ruinous man,” she whispered, “captivating Mother like that!”“I took your cue. You said 'Be nice to her* and I followed instruc­ tions.”She kissed him. “We might sit here on the steps while you smoke a cigarette."“A cigarette? How about two?” “Make it two,” she answered laughing. She was proud, hopeful, unutterably happy.The first Hugh Pendleton had come out from Connecticut in the year 1802, made his way with horses and an ox team over the hazardous mountain roads, and tak­en -up land.along the. Penachang Valley in Ohio. He built a cabin near the stream and traded with the few settlers and the wandering bands of Indians. He sent for his family, his wife, with three small children, and his two brothers. Hugh started a store which flour­ished, as the settlement grew into a village. He made trips to Pitts­burgh by boat for supplies and bar­tered or sold. Sf cording to the need if Ihe individual.Presently, the word traveled about that two settlers, Wyant and Nash, had erected a blast furnace on the shore of the river a few miles above the settlement. They turned out stoves, kettles and cast­ings, crude in appearance, but serviceable. Hugh’s trips to Pittsburigh had awakened his interest in the need for iron in a new community, and a nebulous idea took form as he weighed out coffee and tea and flour. He talked of it to his sons. Hugh and Caleb and Silas, and fired their youthful imaginations. Wyant died and Nash moved on to Indiana, abandoning the sirr.ple furnace, while Hugh figured and planned and explained to his sons. The Pendleton boys went into partnership when they grew up, started another furnace. By the middle forties, Hugh Junior, Caleb and Silas Pendleton were the own­ ers of a successful iron works which employed eighteen hundred men. The Pendletons intermarried with the Woods, the Renshaws, the Mof- fats, the Debarrys1 newcomers from Virginia, the east anJ Eng­land, until in the nineteen thirties the relationships would have taken a genealogical expert to unravel. Tiie society of the town was a spi der-web of distant cousinships turn­ing up at unexpected places. Much of the leadership of old Hugh Pen­dleton had descended to the n.en of the family; the women had grace and fastidiousness. Alien blood mingled with theirs, warm blood, cold blood, but something racial persisted. Fluvanna vas the great-great- granddaughter of the first Hugh, descending through Hugh, his son. Her father had beer Ely Pendleton, and she his only cl.ild—a swaying, anemone creature, fine-boned as most of the Pendleton women were. Light brown hair grew back from a curving hairline; the tracery ot the brows above full eyelids might have been done by a pencil stroke; the nose was sensitive; the mouth curved and wistful. Although James Marsh had been welcomed among them as a cousin of the Clements, there was not • She Was Proud, Hopeful, Colli terably Happy. great deal of approval of the mat riage of James and Fluvanna There were local grievances—fami lies whose sons had yearned ton Fluvanna and been passed over Although pride in clothes was a Pendleton credo, James was thought to lean toward too great an elegance in dress. His hand­some bearing was no novelty; many of the men had that; they suspected his grace, his flattery, a? qualities which did not go with the solid virtues of monogamy. As the years went by, the older ones shook their heads oracularly as reporta of his irregularities came in—gam­bling, drinking, neglecting his bust ness, Ely Pendleton looking grim and Fluvanna, gay in company, but when off guard, seeming fright­ened and distrait.Ely Pendleton died suddenly, and Fluvanna and her family moved in­to the old house with her mother who was an invalid. A year or twe of comparative ease and prosperity followed. James was thoughtful to­ ward the suffering ■ mother; debts were paid; the feverish prosperity of the War was on. James made money in the stock market and it erased the galling sense of obliga­tion he had left when old Ely, stern- browed, thin-lipped, had met his pressing deficits.

Paramount is leading the cheer­ing for their Jack Benny, for the fourth consecutive year, won the vote for best comedian and best pro­gram on the air. Bing Crosby was elected best singer of popular songs. Bob Burns ran third among comedi­ans, and that was no small achieve­ ment. Benny and Fred Allen had the first two places, and there were no less than ten or twelve famous stage comedians competing for third. M-G-M’s Nelson Eddy was ranked first among classical sing­ ers, and Universal’s Deanna Dur­bin best of all the newcomers to radio. Twentieth Century’s Tony Martin made a good showing, get­ting third place among singers of popular songs. And RKO’s Lily Pons took second place among sing­ers of classical music. — — Interview etiquette is next in im­portance to romance manners in Hollywood. When­ever asked their opinion on the great­est actor on the screen, players are supposed to mention someone under con­tract to their own studio. Pat O’Brien just won’t play ac­cording to that rule.He thinks Spencer Tracy is by all odds the best actor on the screen and in­sists on saying so.

M-G-M even sent Taylor to Washington, O. C., to attend the President's birthday ball with Jean. And all to no avail. He still thinks Barbara Stanwyck is Oie grandest girl in the world. Hal Roach isn’t content with keep­ing audiences giggling at his two- reel comedies. He has sent for Constance Bennett, dragging her back from her long vacation in New York, and started production on a big feature picture. It is to be a drawing-room comedy, very smart, swift, and swanky. It must be that he heard Constance in that broadcast of “Private Lives” that convinced everyone she had a real flair for high comedy. • When yon see Eddie Robinson and Bette Davis in “Kid Galahad” take a good look at the handsome giant who plays the heavyweight cham­ pion. That is Bill Haade, one of the most extraordinary characters the studios have ever found. Not so long ago be was a steel worker in New Xork, and very proud of his job.

I always admired that white pique shirt of Dick’s, so I think I’ll try it for my blouse, since the pattern is a lot like a man’s shirt in design.

They, take one or two tab­lets the first night and repeat the third .or fourth night if needed.How do Calotabs help Nature throw oft a cold? First, Calotabs are one of the most thorough and dependable of all intestinal elimi- nants, thus cleansing the intestinal tract of the germ-laden mucus and toxines. Second, Calotabs are diu­retic to the kidneys, promoting the elimination of cold poisons from the blood. Thus Calotabs serve the double purpose of a purgative and diuretic, both of which are needed in the treatment of colds.Calotabs are quite economical; only twenty-five cents for the fam­ily package, ten cents for the trial package.

But Uiough he isn’t wise, Old Hooty is nevertheless very useful. He feeds mostly on mice Etnd other small rodents, rad helps to keep their numbers below the proportions of an absolute pest.—Science Serv­ice.

IN ADVANCE - $ I OD SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - S SO If the sales tax is retained, as it Is going to be, and the folks will drink enough liquor during the next two years, it might be pos sible to balance the budget and give a few hundred extra democrats good political jobs. A gentleman from Salisbury ask ed us last week if Dayie county wouldn’t go wet if the county com missioners called an election W don’t believe an election will be called in Davie, but should such thing happen we btelive the conn ty would go dry by at least iooo maiority Giving the President power to kick out six SupremeCourt Justices at one swoop and appoint six New Dealers in their stead, is carrying things too far, seems Io us. This is more power than any good man should want, and more power than any bad man should have. We don’t think the Congress of the United States will stand for such high banded dictatorship. The Record editor has started on his 45th year in a newspaper of fice. Many changes have taken place since this boy saw his first type louse and set his first stick of type Benjamin Harrison was President then, and the Charlotte Observer was a 7 column, four page paper, set by hand. During all these years, we found the first four and the last six the toughest from a financial standpoint We suffered fours years under G. Cleveland, two years under Hoover and four years under Delano Roosevelt. Here’s hoping that the next 44 years will be filled with sunshine, happiness and at least a little prosperity. The Davie Record is a Republi can newspaper, and its editor is a Republican and is proud to be a follower of Abe Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and William McKinley. The hundreds of men and women who subscribe to and pay for this 'paper, know just what the editor and the paoer believe in, and the doctrine we have been preaching for thirty years to the people of this section of the country as well as other sections. We have sub­ scribers in about thirty states, Canada and the Canal Zone. It would be impossible for the editor of The Record to own and edit a re d hot democratic paper in Char lotte, and a Republican paper in Mocksville. Gypsy Smith To Char* lotte.

Mrs. Rogers was" 35 years old, and lived in Mocksville until,, her marriage about jIS years agd. Il&e is strived -by her Wsj band and one daughter, Miss Ma bel Rogers, of: Wilmington; her parents,' Mr. and Mrs. H B. Snider of Mocksviile; two sisters, Mrs. M. i H.

Work was begun last week on the Hotel Mocksville new addition, which will add 8 rooms to this popular holstery. A third story is being built, which will cost about $4 500 C. B Mocney has the contract, and the work is to be completed by May 1st Mrs. J A. Daniel is the owner of Hotel Mocks ville, and under her management the hotel has poved very popular, and has shown a steady growth since its opening about two years ago. To Visit Morrocroft Farm. About 50 members of the Mocks ville agricultural class, with the teacher, Prof. J W Davis, in charge, will visit Morrocroft Farm near Charlotte, the latter part of this month. This big farm is own ed by former Governor Cameron Morrison, who has the largest herd of imported Jersey cattle in this section of the country. On this big farm there are 3,000 tnrkevs, 3 000 geese, 2.500 laving hens. 500 head of Berkshird hogs, and too head of sheep. Ahout 200 acres in wheat 100 acres of barley and 100 acres of oats. About 150 actes of corn is planted yearly, mostly for silos. This is one of the largest and best live stock farms in the south. This class will also visit the Leo nard Hatchery in Charlotte, which has a capacity of 160,000 eggs, and is one of the largest hatcheries in the sooth. This trip will be an in teresting one for the coming men of America, and they will no doubt enjoy the day spent in Mecklen burg county. Glasscock To Enter Contest. Clyde Glasscock, a student at Mocksville high school, and-son of Mr. and Mrs Marshall Glasscock of Calahaln township, will repre sent this school in the District ora torical contest which will be held at Mills H.ome, Thomasviile. about May 1st. His subject will be, “A favorable economic environment for the American farmer.” The speak ers will have ten minntes each. If Glasscock wins at Thomasviile,’ be will go to Raleigh in Jane and speak in the state wide contest. Should he win there he will repre sent the state in a regional contest next fall, probably to be held in Atlanta.

The country is divided into four districts, and the winner from each district will have all expenses paid to and from Kansas City. The Re­ cord is hoping that Clyde will be the lucky contestant. - Attention, Fanners. Applications for emergency crop and feed loans for 1937 ate now being receiv­ ed at Mocksved by A. S.

Exemption from Social Security taxes is based on the fact that the Mocksville Building & Loan Asso­ ciation is an "instrumentality” of the United States Government, be­ cause of its membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The report from Washington said a ruling of Guv T.

E. G. HENDRICKS, Admr. W. F. Merrell, DecM./ -1*v| THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. News Review of Current Events the World Over John L. Lewis P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S pro- * posals for legislation that would permit him to pack the Supreme court have met with such wide­spread and determined opposition, even from many members of his own party, that it was suggested to him that he accept certain modifica­tions. These include appointment of Supreme court justices only when those over seventy-five do not re­ tire, and limitation of the number a President could thus appoint dur­ing his term to two. His plan as submitted to congress would enable him to name six new members of the court if the present six justices who are over seventy do not re­tire voluntarily. Mr. Roosevelt announced to the correspondents that he was quite aware of the controversy he was confronting but would not tack down on his demand for the legislation as outlined in his message.It is probable that the President can get his measure-through the; house without great trouble, but a hot fight against it is certain in the senate. So far the' Republicans in congress/ haven’t Iiad much to say orii the matter, for the Democratic • opponents' <Sf the scheme are voci- : ferpyts enbugh to suit the G. O. P. It said "there is a good chance thaHhe senate judiciary committee, headed by Ashurst of Araona, will report unfavorably on the measure in so far as the proposal for in­creasing the membership of the Su­ preme, court is concerned. The other parts of the President’s plan, de­ signed to expedite the work of fed­eral courts, do not meet with much opposition. Probably the scheme will be sep­arated into several.bills; and indeed that already has been started, for Representative Summers of Texas, chairman of the house judiciary committee, introduced a bill provid­ing for voluntary retirement for Su­ preme court justices with full pay at the age of seventy. This was passed quickly by a vote of 313 to 75. CONCLUSIONS of the great plains drouth committee were laid be­fore congress by President Roose­ velt, the report being accompanied by a special message in which the President urged the development of a "new economy” in the vast area between the Alleghenies and the Rockies to save the region from the effects of future drouths. The General Motors Strike Ended, Both Sides Yielding-^ Opposition to President’s Supreme Conrt Plan Increases—Great Plains Drouth Program*. By EDWARD W. PICKARDQ Westers Newspaper Unioo. DOTH sides making concessions, ■L' the General Motors strike came to an end in what Governor Murphy of Michigan called "an enduring peace.” Operations of the great corpo­ration had been par­alyzed for 43 days, and the losses to it in business and to workers in wages have been immense. Partly through the skillful efforts of James F. Dewey, veteran federal la­bor conciliator, John L. Lewis, head of the C. I. O., and other union leaders, and the officials of General Motors were persuaded to modify the defi­ant stands they had maintained through eight days of negotiations in Detroit, and the governor was enabled to announce the settlement. Under the terms of the agree­ment:1—The corporation recognized the union as the collective bargaining agency for those employees belong­ ing to the union. 2—The corporation and the union agreed to commence collective bargaining negotiations on Febru­ary 16.3—The union agreed to end the strike and evacuate all plants occu­pied by strikers.4—The corporation promised to resume operations in all strike­ bound or idle plants “as rapidly as possible.” 6—AU employees are to return to work without discrimination against strikers. 6 —The union agreed that pending negotiations there will be no other strikes or interference with produc­tion.7—During existence of the collec­tive bargaining agreement contem­plated, all opportunities to negotiate shall be exhausted before any other strike or production interference is attempted by the union. 8—After evacuation of plants the corporation agreed to dismiss the injunction proceedings started by the corporation against the union or any members in Flint, Mich. Secretary of Labor Perkins, whose own efforts to end the strike were futile, was highly gratified by the settlement. She gave out a statement praising the leaders on both sides for their give and take spirit and complimenting Governor Murphy on his success. Probably considerable credit should be given President Roosevelt, who kept con­stantly in close touch with the situa­ tion and talked with the conferees by telephone from the White House. Views on President’s Plan to Enlarge Supreme Court Senator Byrnes—I’m for it.Senator Nye-I think the Pres­ident has hit upon a most ingen­ious method of speeding up the work of our tribunals. Senator Vandenberg—I am op­posed to tampering with the Su­preme court. Senator McAdoo—The Presi­ dent’s message receives my un­reserved commendation.Senator Capper—I am certain­ly opposed to increasing the num­ber of Supreme court judges for the purpose of allowing Uie ex­ecutive during any one adminis­tration to control the decisions of the Supreme court.Senator Hale—Should his rec­ ommendations be followed. I can see no hope of an independent Supreme court.Senator Gerry—I'm definitely opposed to the President’s pro­posal in regard to the Supreme court. Senator Thomas—I think it is a timely and happy solution of a perplexing problem.Representative SnelI-This is pretty near the beginning of the end of everything.Representative Fish—The mes­ sage is political hypocrisy.Speaker Bankhead—The plan for adding additional judges is a sound policy. Senator King—I am unalterab­ly opposed to it. whole matter, said Mr. Roose­ velt, dovetails into the proposed six year public works program. The great plains committee sug­gested for the federal government: 1. A ten year program of addi­tional investigations and surveys. 2. Continued acquisition of land in range areas with rehabilitation as the objective.3. Measures to increase size of farms too small for efficient opera­tion.4. Development of/ water re­sources. 5. Resettlement within and with* out the region. S. Compensation to .local govern­ments where federal land acquisi­tion results in shrinkage of the local tax basis. 7. Control and eradication of in­ sect pests. 8. Eq>loration of possibilities for developing other resources, such as vast lignite deposits to provide al­ternative occupation for some of the people in the area. Similar action was suggested for states with the addition of sugges­tions for legislation to permit forma­ tion of county soil conservation dis­tricts, encouragement of co-opera­tive grazing associations, revision of the taxing system to take account of land income and assistance to farmers in meeting water problems.For local co-operation the com­mittee suggested crop rotation, cre­ation of feed and seed reserves against dry years, conservation of moisture, supplemental irrigation, fuller utilization of springs and wells, planting of trees and shrubs as windbreaks and flexible cropping plans to permit adaptation of each season’s crop to the amount of mois­ture in the land. D ARCELONA, capital of the au- tonomous Spanish state of Cata­lonia, was bombarded by a Fascist warship, and the Catalan council of state immediately decreed a new mo­bilization to meet the threat of an in­surgent attack. It also ordered the strengthening of for­tifications and set up a superior de­fense council.Following the cap­ ture of the impor­tant Mediterranean coast city of Malaga by General Franco’s Fascist troops, a general clean up of loyalists there was started. Genl Gonzalo Quiepo de Llano, rebel commander in southern Spain, announced over the radio that more than ISO leaders and military officers of the government had been arrested and executed- after trial. He said an attack would soon be made on Valencia, the loy­ alist temporary capital on the east coast. France was vexed by the reported assistance given the Fascists' by Italians in the taking of Malaga, and renewed her threats to inter­vene in behalf of the government unless Italy and Germany ceased their active support of Franco. The long drawn out siege of Ma­drid continued, but there, was one important development when the in­surgents, attacking with infantry and tanks from the south, threatened to cut the highway to Valencia, the capital’s only remainins line of communication with the outside. Gen. Franco ^ h m k d G h o u t Xhe Drift of Scotland. SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— So high an authority as the Associated Ftess gives out a dispatch stating that Scotland is drifting toward America at Hie rate of eight feet a year. This would be an excuse for the nnthoughted to say that the Scots always had a reputation for being dose and now are becoming still closer.To me, though, the main question is whether Scotland is going to bring Eng­land along with her.Among themselves, at least, the Scots have always had the reputation of bring­ing England along through the centu­ries. And if you don’t believe it ask Irvin 'S. Cobb any true Scot. He stands ready to offer supporting dates, names and statistics. By the way, I’ve noticed one out­standing difference between the two greatest groups of the Celtic race. To an Irishman’s face you can joke about Ireland and he remains calm. But poke fun at an individual Irish­ man and you are hunting for trou­ble — and probably will soon be hunting for a doctor. Inversely you may jibe a Scot and get away with it. But just say the least little thing In derision of his native land and you’d better start running. • « * So-Called Modern Art. T GUESS I must belong to a mostancient species—indeed, an al­ most vanished species. It’s true I’m not quite old enough to re­member when they shot Indians where the city hall now stands and Peggy Hopkins Joyce was called Love Apples. But I do date back to where a painting was expected, re­motely, at least, to resemble the object it purported to represent. I. lived through the early stages of the artistic revolt—primitives, Ultramodernistics, post-impression­ ists, cubists, dadaists and so on —without ever becoming reconciled to the prevalent idea that a can­vas apparently depicting a bundle of laths coming undone was sup­posed to be a nude lady’s portrait, or that a spirited rendition of a yellow cat having an epileptic fit in a mess of tomato soup was an Italian sunset. Lately I’ve seen examples of the latest school — the surrealistic school. And if the practitioners of this form of beauty are artists, then I’m a kind-faced old Swiss watch mender. They're actually giving certain of these geniuses medals. What they ought to give ’em is something for their respec­tive livers.... Cncle Sam the Spendthrift. W EU., we were good fellows while we had it, weren’t we?We, destroyed our forests. Result: tJp water courses. We indulged in an orgy of so- called "reclamation” schemes to drain unneeded swamplands, there­by destroying the breeding grounds and the natural resting places of emigrating wild fowl so that the once vast flocks are gone, probably forever. We wasted our heritage of wild game, formerly a great factor in food supply aside from being a source of healthful joy to gunners. We needlessly polluted our streams.But we’re a resourceful race; give us credit for that. Now, through speed madness and drunken driving, we’re preying ,-merrily on human life. It’s getting so that the citizen who insists on dying a natural death, instead of waiting for some mad wag of a road-hog to mow him down, can be regarded only as a spoilsport.• • * Cruelty to WUd Life. COMETIMES women are almost as inconsistent as men—which is a frightful indictment to bring against any sex.As a boy, I remember being se­verely lectured by a lady for robbing birds’ nests— a lady whose nodding hat was crowned with at least four stuffed meadowlarks. A few years ago, I saw women prominent in humane movements and good deeds, like that woman of the Scriptures who was called Dorcas—saw these women wearing the smuggled and forbidden ai­grettes of the snowy heron, even though they must have known that each pitiable feathered wisp meant a cruel murder and a brood of fledg­lings left to starve. I still see these aigrettes being worn—against the law of the land and the greater law of common humanity. And only lately, at a meeting to forward the prevention of cruelty to dumb beasts, I saw women swathed, to their earlobes in furs of mink and otter. Seemingly they had forgotten that the animals whose pelts they wore had died in steel traps by slow degrees of infinite torture; Or maybe they didn’t care.IBVIN S. COBB.Copyright.—WNU Service. 0 National Topics Inteipreted by William Bruclcart Washington.—More perhaps than ever before in our country’s history, . the courts of the ThePrettdeta n ation, federal and the Court and state, are in a jam. They are being subjected to a greater strain than ever before and, I think, the strain is too great for them long to continue to bear it. That sentence sounds sensational. It is meant to be. In the opinion of many, sound thinkers, men and women Of . vision, there has never been a time when a wave or surge has attacked the courts or any other American institution with such fe­ rocity.One of the reasons the situation is to be regarded with so much con­cern is President Roosevelt’s latest request of congress for a reorgani­zation of the judiciary system. He is asking for more judges every­where which, of itself, seems en­tirely proper, but the message astounded observers by proposing an increase in the membership of the Supreme court of the United States to fifteen. That is to say that if it were enacted into law, Mr. Roosevelt's own proposal would give him authority to select six ad­ditional justices of the highest trib­ unal. Inasmuch as the present membership of .the court has re­fused a number of times to hold New Deal legislation valid under the Constitution, it takes no stretch of the imagination at all to figure out that Mr. Roosevelt’s proposal would give him authority to select a sufficient number of new justices so that the New Deal would hold the balance of power'in the highest court of the judiciary of the coun­try. There may be and probably is merit in the President’s proposal that judges should retire at seventy years of age. It happens that the present membership of the court fan eludes six men who are above that age and a -statute compelling re­tirement at seventy would make six added vacancies in the court unless the present court should find that this law itself is unconstitutional' in one regard. The judges are ap­pointed for life and they cannot be removed without cause — which means they must be impeached by congress and tried. The message respecting reorgani­zation of the judiciary system was by far the most sensational to come from Mr. Roosevelt as President. He pointed out in it that he had proposed reorganization of the ex­ ecutive branch of the government so that it might function more effi­ciently. The next step, he said, was to reorganize the judiciary so that it could' administer justice more speedily. But there are many minds throughout the country which find it difficult to believe that the necessity for speedy justice is the fundamental reason for the new pro­posal.It is too early to tell, of course, bow congress will act on the Presi­dent’s suggestion, but the more as­tute observers here are quite con­vinced that such legislation cannot go through without a bitter debate. The political implications are many. If a real struggle develops in the house or the senate, it is not out­side the range of a good guess to predict that it could split the tre- m endous Democratic majority asunder in either house. If it did that once, undoubtedly'enmities and factions would be created that would continue through the remain­der of the President’s new term and only the passage of time can dis­close how far reaching such a thing might be.But let us review for a moment some of the background of the con­ditions that have preceded the Pres­ ident’s sensational proposal. There have been sniping and bushwhack­ing at the judiciary for a number of years and this was thrown into high speed by the President himself when the Supreme court threw out the NRA. On that occasion, Mr. Roosevelt made the. well remem­bered remark that the decision had taken us back to “the horse and buggy days.” There followed an uproar by a vocal mindrity of radicals and per­sons who claimed to be liberal. They attacked the Supreme court for throwing out New Deal meas­ures, ridiculed the justices as ‘‘the nine old men” and proceeded in general to spread poison to all and sundry about the country’s judicial system. On top of that came Mr. Roosevelt’s speech to congress last month in which he made a virtual demand upon the Supreme court for “a more enlightened interpretation of the Constitution.” That was an unprecedented thing but it was not nearly so sensational as the present problem.... Much of the problem that is swirl­ing around the courts of the land re- _ suits from the po-C angren sition which con- C ritiaxee gress has chosento take. There are a goodly number of representatives and senators whoi swayed by the vocal minority mentioned earlier, have voiced bitter criticisms of the judiciary and have even proposed that its freedom be curbed. They are doing this because they see the Supreme court deciding every now and then that some ill-thought-out piece of legislation should be tossed out of the window. A good many of these congressional shouters have only a' slight understanding at the babble that they put out on the floors of the house and senate, but the fact remains they are a part of the congress and hence their words are received with some considera­tion among those who want to be­lieve the same way. On the other hand, there are men like Senator Borah of Idaho, who foresee real trouble for all of us if the powers of the courts are curbed. Senator Borah thinks the question of the freedom of the judiciary is a paramount issue and lately has made a powerful appeal that if the people want to make changes in their government, the people ought to do it and not the President and the congress.The Idaho senator makes the point that only through a judiciary un­fettered by politics, free to operate as it sees the law, can the people of the country retain their freedom. If judicial independence goes, lib­erty goes. So, it seems to me that congress, which just now is the spearhead of the movement to change the power of the courts, ought to recognize its own responsi­bility.I said earlier that the courts could not continue long to bear the' pres­ent burden of attack. That burden which they carry now results large­ly—and this is especially true of the Supreme court of the United States—from the fact that congress has ceased to be a deliberative body. It has tossed great chunks of undigested legislation at the courts and when the courts have held these laws unconstitutional, a bunch of nitwits each time has un­leashed a great howl. It would seem then that the proper conclusion is that the nine old men are not older nor any less enlightened than the members of congress or the execu­ tive branches of the government but that especially congress is fail­ ing to do its job. It is attempting to read election returns into the judiciary. It seems to me it ought to be remembered by members of congress and officials of the execu­tive branch of the government that e^ch and every one of them has taken an oath as an official of this government to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and in so doing they must defend the courts. * * * In any discussion of congress and its activities, I find time to do _ . ' a little laughing. L au g h a A re Through the last Loud Today several weeks, a period when floods were raging and people were dying, when thousands upon thousands walked the streets without jobs, when other thousands walked the streets because a militant labor leader had called a strike and had permitted .his strikers to violate laws of the land by seizure of prop­erty—while all of these things were happening, our congress was giving thought to a picayune proposition. It was discussing a Jiill providing for alterations of the Capitol build­ing, itself.The tragedy of this particular thing is that it has a very good chance of being enacted into law before the end of this session. It is proposed to spend four or five million dollars to extend and re­construct the central portion of the Capitol along lines that would make the three east wings extend the same distance from the main build­ing. It would enlarge the central portion and provide more office space when, as far as any observ­ ers can see, there is ample space for all of the offices required now or for the next half century. I said the tragedy of the thing was that this proposal stands a fair chance of passing through congress.Sponsors of the plan declare it will improve the appearance of the central portion of Ihe old building. It may do that but I have found more'architects who disagree than agree with that thought. As for the office space argument, it would appear that somebody in congress is quite determined simply to spend some more money. It is to be remembered that only two •years ago, the house of repre­sentatives built a second office building at a cost of $9,000,000 for its members. About the same time, the senate added a wing to the senate office building so that each senator could have three rooms whereas heretofore the average sen­ator had only two rooms in his suite. Committee chairmen always have had three or more rooms. In addition, there are several hundred offices in the Capitol building itself and a goodly number of senators and representatives have private of­fices in the Capitol as well as in the office buildings. So altogether, I think there is just ground for say­ing, as one hears said frequently, that the congresses of the last few years much resemble boys who have received too many toys in one delivery. They don’t know what to do with themselves.• Wsstem Newspaper Vnlea Foreign Words and Phrases Malade , imaginaire. (F.) One who fancies himself sick; a hypo­ chondriac.: Malgre soi. (F.)

UTLEY SHOULD President Roosevelt succeed in his proposal to in­ crease the number of justices on the bench of the United States Supreme court, such changes would by no means be without precedent, except in their scope. The number of justices has been changed by act of congress no less than seven times dur­ ing the 148 years of its existence, but never by more than three justices. There have been numerous in­stances of clashes between a Presi­ dent and the Supreme court. Origi­nally the court was composed of six members, but during the time of the clash between Adams and Jefferson in 1801 the number was reduced to six. Under pressure of heavily loaded dockets as the young country was growing, the number was increased to seven in 1807 and 30 years later was increased again to nine. Further expansion resulted in the addition of still another jus­tice, and in 1863 the Supreme court reached its peak of ten justices.In 1866 the number was reduced again to seven, but in 1869 it went back to nine again; President Grant was at that time popularly accused of having “packed” the court to uphold legislation in which he was interested, but the majority of his­ torians absolve him from any such intention.Now comes President Roosevelt with his proposal to appoint to each federal court (including the Su­ preme court) a new judge for each present one who is over the retire­ ment age of seventy but has not re­tired. Apparently it is beyond the power of congress to require jus­tices to retire at seventy, for the Constitution expressly provides that they shall serve during good be­havior. Appointments Permanent. There are now nine Supreme court justices, of whom six are past the retirement age. It follows then, that, at the present time, the mem­bership on the Supreme court bench could not be increased to more than 15 under the President’s proposal. New judgeships on that and all other federal court benches would be permanent.To the observer in Washington it seems immediately apparent that one of the President’s purposes to securing the proposed legislation is to nullify possible adverse rulings on New Deal acts by older justices who have been in the habit of vot­ ing to declare New Deal legislation unconstitutional.Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, seventy-five, has voted sometimes to uphold, sometimes to nullify New Deal acts; he once ran as the Republican candidate for the Presidency. Louis Dembitz Bran­deis, eighty, has voted to sustain all New Deal legislation except to the case of the NRA in which the vote was unanimously against. But Justices Willis Van Deventer, sev­enty-eight; James Clarke Mc- ReynoMs, seventy - five; George Sutherland, seventy-five; and Pierce Butler, seventy-one, have voted in­variably against the New Deal. The New Deal has suffered de­feat to 9 out of U major decisions of the court. In at least four cases a change of four votes could have reversed the decision.Up to June, 1935, the Supreme court had held a' total of 73 acts of congress unconstitutional. Fifty-five of these were to the period from 1789 to June, 1921. .Then to 11 years, the court held unconstitutional 18 acts.Decisions Make History. The court has hardly ever ceased to be the subject of much political speculation and controversy to the “hot‘ stove league.” Perhaps this is because the court as an institu­tion is unique among governments, to its function of interpreting and halting encroachments upon the basic law of jibe country. “Every decision becomes a page of history,” wrote Charles Warren, to his noted work on the Supreme court. “The history of the United States has been written not merely in the halls of congress, to the exec­utive offices and on the battlefields, but to a great extent to the cham­bers of the Supreme court of the United States.” Historians outline the career of the court by (a) the period of na­tionalism, from 1789 to 1835; (b) the era of states’ rights, from 1835 to 1861; (c) the period of broad in­terpretation, from 1861 to 1930, and (d) the present period. The Supreme court met.and or­ganized for the first time to the Royal Exchange at the foot of Broad street to New York on February I, 1790. The number of its justices (five) had been set by the judiciary act of-September 24, 1789. Edicts Free of Politics. The present chief justice, Mr. Hughes, once said of the court, “at all times it has had the most se­ vere critics.” Tradition has it that all decisions are rendered without consideration of political partisan­ship, and indeed there are more than a few incidents to uphold the tradition. Justices appointed by President Jefferson helped to de­velop the nationalistic interpretation of the Constitution which he de­plored; justices appointed by Pres­ ident Jackson differed with Ids opin­ion and wishes to important inter­pretation, and his own appointees held President Lincoln’s legal ten­ der policy unconstitutional. “Nothing is more striking to the history of the court,” wrote Warren, “than the manner to which the hopes of those who expected a judge to follow the political views of the President who appointed him have been disappointed.” Changes to membership of the court began early. In the election of 1800, the Federalists suffered an overwhelming defeat. The lame duck congress, between the time of Jefferson’s election and his inaug­uration, to prevent the new Presi­dent from ffiling a vacancy on the bench with one of his own appoint­ees, reduced the number of justices to five. It also relieved Supreme court justices from circuit court duties, established six new circuits with sixteen new judges and at­taches, and filled all the vacancies with staunch Federalists. Adams’ appointments were confirmed by the senate the day before Jefferson’s inauguration. The next congress, controlled by Jefferson, abolished two terms of court, repealed the judiciary act of the Adams congress, abolished the new circuits and restored the Su­preme court to its original member­ship of six. ironically enough, it was the Federalist - appointed Su­preme court which, to 1803, upheld the constitutionality of Jefferson’s repeal act. This was to the case of Marbury vs. Madison. The former had been appointed to a judgeship of the peace to the District of Columbia by President Adams, but his com­ mission had not been delivered to him at the time of Jefferson’s in­auguration. He sought a writ.-of mandamus to compel the secretary of state to deliver his commission. The court ruled that toe manda­mus was the proper procedure, but that congress' to delegating to the Supreme court the power to issue such a writ (by the judiciary act of 1789) had acted to excess of the powers granted to it under the Con­stitution. This was the first instance to which the court had acted upon the constitutionality of an act of congress, and established its right to do so. Jackson Battles Court. The first time that any complete act of congress was actually de­clared unconstitutional was to the Dred Scott case 50 years later. The court held only four federal statutes unconstitutional during toe first 80 years of its existence. By 1825, however, it had under Marshall strengthened the federal structure considerably. It had invalidated 10 laws made by toe states as un­constitutional. During Andrew Jackson’s tenure of office the state of Georgia passed a law of division of some land to the state to which the Cherokee In­dians held title; the Supreme court decided this was outside its jurisdic­tion. The state then passed a law requiring all whites to the Cherokee territory to take an oath of alle­giance to the state. When two mis­sionaries refused they were impris­oned. The Supreme court issued a writ of error and declared that the statute was unconstitutional because the federal government aloiie had jurisdiction over the Cherokees and their territory. The country was growing, and crowded court dockets made it ad­ visable, on the last day of the Jack­son administration, to increase the number of justices to nine (there were then eight, one having been added in 1807). As the West began to expand another justice was added to 1863. During the reconstruction period to 1866 President Johnson was on trial on impeachment charges, his leniency toward the South having angered party leaders. Congress passed a statute returning toe num­ber of justices to seven. Johnson vetoed it, but toe reduction was car­ried over his veto. A bill requiring a two-thirds vote of the court to de­clare a law unconstitutional failed to pass to congress about that time; it had been drawn to toe fear that toe court would declare toe recon­struction Ifiws invalid. Grant Appoints Two. President Lincoln- clashed with Chief Justice Taney when, socn after Fort Sumter was attacked, John Merryman, a Confederate lieu­ tenant, was arrested on charges of aiding toe enemy. Taney gave him a habeas corpus to get released from Fort McHenry, but the officer to charge, acting under toe Presi­ dent’s instructions, refused to obey the writ. Taney ordered, the arrest of toe officer, but the civilian who bore the writ was refused admission to the fort. Taney wrote an opinion declaring that a writ of habeas corpus could not be suspended.The number of justices was in­creased from seven to nine shortly after Ulysses S. Grant became President, The court, by a vote of 4 to 3, held unconstitutional the le­ gal tender act which was passed during the Civil war; there were two vacancies on toe bench at that time. The day toe opinion was de­ livered by Chief Justice Chase, President Grant nominated two new members, and soon after the court ordered that the “greenbacks” case be re-argued.There was a great storm of in­ dignation when toe new justices joined with the three who had voted to uphold the act, and the legal tender act was declared constitu­ tional.Most persons,- of course, believed that Grant had intentionally packed the court to secure this' decision, but historians do not agree* Western Newspaper Union. |M p R O V E D - UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY E CHOOL Lesson By REV.

Lesson for.March 7 LIFE HERE AND HEREAFTER THROUGH CHRIST LESSON TEXT-John 14:1-15.GOLDEN TEXT — I am the way. the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6.PRIMARY TOPIC—In the Heavenly Father's House.JUNIOR TOPIC — Many Mansions.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Why We Need Christ Always.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Life Here and Hereafter through Christ. It was the night before the darkest day in the world’s history. On the morrow the Son of man was to hang on Calvary’s tree for the sins of the world—for your sins, and for mine. But for the moment he was alone with his disciples. The last Passover had been eaten together, the betrayer had been discovered, and the Lord has told them that he was soon to go where they could not follow. Peter had, by his bold self-assurance, brought forth th e prophecy of his denial. The disciples were disturbed. Then came from the Saviour the words of comfort, as­ surance, nnd power which have been the strength and solace of his peo­ ple through all the centuries. Our life both here and hereafter is in His mighty hands. I. Comfort (w. 1-3). Troubled hearts, are everywhere— in toe palace and in the cottage, on land and sea. There is a place of rest, thank God! There is One who still speaks the majestic words, “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me.” His comfort is one which covers the future life, for he says: 1. “I go to prepare a place”(v.2). Concern about future destiny is set­tled at once when Christ Jesus be­comes our Lord and Saviour. We need worry no longer. He has gone on before to the Father’s house to prepare a place for his own. When we come to that ever-peaceful shore we shall not come as strangers, but as sons and daughters to a prepared place in our Father’s house.2. “I will come again” (v.3) is the word that gives present mean­ing to the future promise. He not only prepares toe place, but he it is who brings us there. The glorious hope of his coming again is the Christian’s greatest comfort and mightiest incentive to useful, holy living. H. Assurance (w. 4-11).The doctrine of Christian assur­ance is one of vital importance, and should be taught in all its scrip­tural power and beauty. Unfortun­ately it has so suffered violence at the hands of some of its friends that others have not only come to fear it, but even openly to oppose it. This is most regrettable, for it is manifest that until one has as­ surance he will make but little prog­ress to Christian usefulness.The believers assurance rests fundamentally on Christ himself. Two grounds are given in the text.I. “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (v. 6 ). These words are their own best commentary. Read them again, slowly, weighing the meaning of each word. If we are to him who is the way, how safe we are! If we are not in him? Read his own solemn words to verse 6 , “No man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (v. 11).In Christ dwells all toe fullness of the Godhead. He is not only a super­natural being, he is God. How can anyone deny that and read his words to these verses? To do so is to make Jesus a liar and blasphemer. HI. Power (w. 12-15).His followers are not left to a world of sin and need as a little group of hymn-singing weaklings, thinking only of the day when they shall be to a brighter land. Ah, yes, they sing hymns and rejoice in them; they look for a better land; their weapons of warfare are not carnal—but weaklings? Oh, no! God uses them to do great and mighty things for his glory.1. “He that believeth” (v. 12). This army of Gcd carries the royal banner of faith. 2. “Greater works . . . shall he do” (v. 12). Jesus only began his work on earth. Its greatest develop­ment was to be toe joyous privilege of his followers. 3. “If ye ask . . . I will do” (v. 14). Someone has called this a signed blank check on all the re­ sources of God. Faith fills it to, un­der the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Moody knew how to use it. So did Mueller, Livingstone, J. Hudson Taylor—the list might go on indefi­ nitely. Shall we dare to trust God and add our name as one of those who ask to faith? < The Man of Wisdom He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.—Epictetus. * Thoughts of Good People The thoughts of some people Ihre so near to God, that to askthem to thtok of us fe td ask them to pray for us.

Why Not A Negro For The Sopreme Court? We note that an effort is beinf made to have William H. Hastie, negro lawyer connected with the Interior Department appointed a judge in the Virgin Islands but Senator. Byrnes, of South Carolina is said to be opposed to it, fearing reprisals in hi* state as witness th< action of Senator Smith, of South Carolina at the Democratic conven tion in Philadelphia who walked cut when-a negro offered the opening prayer at one of the sessions. Thenegroesalmost to a man sup ported Roosevelt for re election Iasi year and as they hold the balance of power in a number of the big states like Ohio, Indiana and Illinois they were a great factor in aiding in his election.. In fact the negroes have just about enmasse moved over from the Republican party where they had been since they were emancioat ed into .{he -Democratic camp and there theyare likely to stay. They hold immense power. It wasiargely through thetr influence and the threats 'made to frighten Senators in close states that caused the defeat of Judge John J Parker for the Supreme Court. There is a negro assistant Attor­ ney General in the Roosevelt ad­ ministration named Vick from North Carolina. If Roosevelt gets his bill through Congress to pack the Supreme Court it would be the eternal fitness of things for the ne groes to demand that he name one of their race to this important job. They ', helped elect him. Why wouldn’t Vtck fit in the picture? The names of near-Communists, BrainTrusters and other wild men have .been suggested .as likely mem bers of the high court and Vick would be a credit to some of them.

One of the most'nefarious pieces ot legislation we. have ever come in contact with is the bill which was introduced in the. North Carolina General Assembly , last week, har­ ing to do with the plan of govern­ ment in Madison County. ~ Madison County is overwhelm­ ingly Republican. At the present time they ha vea; board of countv commissioners, -consisting of three members—all of them being Repub licans. ' Tne purport of the bill in traduced last week was to increase this number to seven. The addi­ tional tour commissioners would be Democrats. .-. , This would give the Democrats control over the affairs of* county government. The nextstepinthis infamous course of procedure would be to redistrict Madison County in- ts three districts, from each of which a commissioner would be elected, thereby going back to the former system of having only three commissioners. -. The joker in the proposition lies in this redistricting. Tbe county would be so divided that one district, baying slightly more than a thousand.votets, would go Democratic, thereby electing a Democratic. commissioner. The same thing would happen in the second district.. ' The third district, having a- vote strength of more than FOUR THOUSAND, would be conceded to the^Republicans. But, the Democrats —despite their num erical minority—would have a two to one control'oVerthecounty gov­ ernment": and would: be in a posi tion to run the county as they saw fit- " , /-r j-; '.- In discussing the matter witn some members of the: legislature a few days ago, they laughed and re marked: ^ “That's good politics.” We .don’t agree with them. We think it is’highway robbery. ■ At a public’ hearing in Raleigh last week, .we heard ,various and sundry, charges made- against the Republicans of Miadison County: that they wouldn’t let Democrats have the courthouse -for a public meeting, that they refuse to em­ ploy school teachers > who are De mocrats and - that they jump ' the tax values 'on property which is owned. by{ the Democrats - in that county..;. > AU of which may . be-true, but that’s not the point. The Republi­ cans are in big majority and' they have alright to manage the affairs of their ,county. If they • don’t . do :t honestly, and efficiently, there' is always legal redness to be had. We were rather amused to bear an Easterner ask this question" at the hearing last week: * But don’t you think that % the Democrats in your, county of Madison are entitled to proper representation?’ ’ ; We don’t recall’ what, the answer was, blit if the question had been directed to us, our answer would have teen: .“.We're willing to gue the Democrats just.as much repre sentation on our bpard of county commissioners as y o u people in Pitt, Beaufort, Craven,;Wilson and other eastern counties give the: R epubliT ans.” . v From a state wide: -standpoint, the Democratsr in Nfirth Carolina are-in the big majority.

In a plea for reorganization and consolidation of Federal bureaus. Senator Byrd, of Virginia recently pointed out some astonishing in stances of duplication and over- I ipaing. For example, at least 24 agencies have been created to deal with lend ing government funds, and five similar agencies are now in Iiquida tion. At ieast three agencies have been concerned with insuring deposits and loans. At least nine agencies have been concerned with government con struction At least nine agencies have been concerned with home and commun­ ity planning. At least 16 agencies have been concerned with wild life conserva tion. So it goes, down a long list. Every one of the purposes for which these agencies have been created may be benefical and le­ gitimate—but certainly there can be no excuse for setting up so bureaus to do one bureau’s job. Nor can there-be any excuse for permitting bureaus to grow unchecked and to eat up tax funds in unimaginable quantities. Senator Byrd also points out that one bureau has 13 addresses in Washington alone. Untold millions of public dollars are thrown away annually through duplication. Reflictionsof Liquor. One could hardly speak to any­ body connected with the Legislature or with the administrative offices - of the State who did not ask at once what Mecklenburg is going to do with the liquor question when it eventually bobs up. ' An interesting refletion came from one of the most knowing heads of the State government to the effect that when the budget was being compiled and revenues from various tax brack­ ets estimated, a relatively small amount was calculated from the State’s seven per cent levy against liquor sales for the reason that it was not assumed by these budget-archi- tects that any great number of new counties would vote in liquor stores, As a matter of fact, this gentleman who perhaps knows as much about the political humor of North Caro Iina as any-man in the State, express­ ed the view that, in his judgment, very few counties west of Durham would repeal Cheir present prohibi­ tion laws; ' : - Hedid except Buncombe and Hen derson and only for the reason that self interest aroused because of their tourist trade would probably induce them to vote wet. But Ihi^ official was not expecting such counties as Mecklenburg or Gaston or Union or Cabarrus or Rowan or Davidson or Guilford or Cleveland or Forsyth to bring in the liquor stores, and that's the reason the State expects to gather in 'only $600,000 in revenues from its liquor taxes.—Charlotte Observer. .---V Poor Old Peatrice. .

A barrage of letters oves the Pre­ sident’s proposals to reform to judi­ ciary, continues to be laid down upon Members of Congress by thetr constituents. In the first two weeks the pro­ portion ran ten to one against the plan. In later days the forces of labor have been responsible for a greater percentage of letters .favor­ ing the proposal. Senator Arthur Capper, of Kan­ sas, who probably received more mail than any other member of Congress says he has received at least 10,000 letters. They were sent mainly by farm ers who read his newspaper and farm publications. The radio of 10 to t against the'-President- held true in the mail he received. These letters 'were spontaneous written by band on ruledxtablet paper in many instances. On the other hand many of the lettersnow pouring in are typewritten. It is hard to estimate the percentage of these letters, inspired' or distated by organized blocs seeking to in­ fluence public opinion.—Washing­ ton Herald. Wyo!

Only Portu­ gal dissented, objecting to estab­lishment of frontier guards on her territory; Great Britain, France,Germany, Italy and Russia ig­nored the Portuguese protests and went ahead with the blockade plans, which are to-be put into effect by March 6 .The decisions were reached after France delivered a virtual ultima­tum to her fellow committee mem­bers to end their bickering and warned Italy she would not stand for “open invasion of Spain.” The French were quick to place guards at all strategic points along the Franco-Spanish frontier.The international naval patrols presumably will not have authority to stop vessels suspected of carry­ing arms and men to. Spain, but will report ship movements to the committee for action and will place observers on the vessels to check cargoes.Supposing this blockade to be suc­ cessful, it may well be that' the Spanish civil war will die of inani­ tion. Then may be brought about that which the international com­mittee seeks—international media­tion between the insurgents and the loyalist government.For the present both sides are re­newing their efforts for decisive vic­ tory. The fascists, still driving hard at the “life line” that connects Ma­ drid and Valencia, also are attack­ing the capital itself again. Their airplanes made two night bombing assaults on the city and its envi­rons, killing a number of persons; and their artillery constantly shells the highways to Valencia.The loyalist government, at its temporary seat in Valencia, took a new mandate of absolute power from all Popular Front PartiejS and mobilized all available man power to oppose the insurgent forces. AU military classes of the last five years were drafted for im­mediate war service. Sec’y of Navy Swanson DRIME MINISTER STANLEY * BALDWIN’S government of Great Britain is asking for $7,500,- 400,000 to finance its “war plan in time of peace,” and is meeting with determined op­position from the Liberals, Laborites and others in par­liament. These es­pecially object to the plan for en­largement of the nation’s land, sea and air forces by a $2,000,000,000 loan and increased taxa­tion.Commenting on the British naval i construction program. Admiral Wil­liam D. Leahy, chief of naval, oper­ ations of the American navy, served notice that any foreign nations ex­panding their navies beyond the standards of recent treaties might expect that the United States would match their construction. He said it was:: hiSMmderstanding that this nation1 wsui ’definitely committed to the maintenance of a "navy second to none.” Toimaintain that prin­ciple, he declared, it would be­come necessiry for the United States to build new ships if other powers did.The present United States build­ing program calls for start of con­struction this year on two new cap­ ital ships. Great Britain already has laid the keels of two new eraft and the program announced in Lon­ don calls for the start, after April I, of construction of a third new vessel. When Britain lays a third keel, then this government is likely to start similar construction. FI A special message to congress President Roosevelt urged legis­lation to “improve the present in­tolerable condition” of 3,000,000 farm tenants, presenting this four- point program:1. Action to open tfce doors of ownership to tenants who now have the requisite ability and experience.2. Modest loans, with the neces­sary guidance and education to pre­vent small, owners from slipping into tenancy. 3. The retirement by public agen­cies of land proved to be unsuited for fanning-and assistance to the families living, .thereon in finding homes on good land.4. Cooperation with state and lo­ cal agencies of government to im­prove the general leasing system. Congressional leaders promised t agriculture com- Jones-Bankhead Senator Clark $500,000,000 farm tenant bill now oe- fore congress. would be made the basis for the new legislation.The President’s farm tenancy committee, headed by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, recommended, that congress make available “a definite sum each year for a num­ber of years” for a land-purchase program, but mentioned no definite figure. Wallace said, however, he thought Jones* proposal for $50,000,- 000 annual appropriation for ten years is “reasonable." T HOUGH President Rooseveltpersisted in his intention to force through congress his measure to“reform” the federal judiciary, law-makers who have been his warm supporters are com­ing out one by one in hot opposition to his plan to pack the Supreme court. Among them are Senator Bennett C. Clark of Missouri said Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Mon­tana, both leading Democrats. They studied the scheme carefully before issuing their state­ments. The announcements of these men was scarcely offset by a radio address by Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, dutifully defending the President’s plan. Senator Clark said he was entire­ly in. accord with the minor pro­ posals in Mt. Roosevelt’s scheme, but was totally unable to agree with the provisions for packing the Su­preme court.Theh came Senator Wheeler, stal­wart radical; with a statement which it was reported he made pub­lic over the protests of the White House. Ife said in part: “I am, always have been, and will continue to be opposed to the usurpation of legislative functions by the courts; I am, have been, and will be opposed to usurpation of leg­islative and judicial functions by the executive branch of the govern­ ment. “There is nothing democratic, progressive, or fundamentally sound in the proposal advanced by the administration.”Attorney General Cummings ad­vanced these two reasons for sup­ porting the Presi­dent’s proposal: New blood should be injected into the judiciary in order that the Constitution shall be construed in keeping with the' changing needs pro­ duced by new com­plexities of national life.The congestion of - dockets in the-feder- al courts is largely due to the inability of aged and infirm judges to perform their share of the work. Investigation has shown, however, that the second reason is unsound..Commenting on Mr. Cummingsf speech, Senator'Glass of Virginia said: “I think it indicates Uiat the country is in infinitely greater need of an attorney general thar> of addi­tional judges on the Supreme court or of judicial wet nurses for six of the present members of the court.”Senator Minton of Indiana de­fended the plan in a radio address but probably did it more harm than good, for he frankly, admitted the purpose of the administration is to change the personnel and views of the Supreme court, in order that President Roosevelt’s New Deal program will be held constitutional.Other senators who came out against the President’s plan were Nye of North Dakota, radical Re­publican; Bone of Washington, Democrat; Burke of Nebraska, Democrat; and Van Nuys 'of Indi­ ana, Democrat. On the other sicle were McAdoo of California; Thomas of Utah and Iia Follette of Wis­consin. Senators Bone and Wheeler intro­duced a resolution for a constitu­ tional amendment that would give congress the power to override Su­preme court decisions by a two- thirdsvote of both houses, but only' after a national election involving Congressional seats has intervened so that the people have had a chance to speak on the issue.The American Federation of La­bor and Labor’s Nonpartisan league declared their support of the court packing >scheme, and the National Grange expressed its opposition. Legislatures of many states adopted resolutions for or against the plan, most of them being in opposition. ~Mr. Roosevelt - received several groups .of senators, some of whom are among those opposing the pack­ing of the Supreme court, and re- iteratedthis intention to push his plan ihnjgh congress without mod- A tty.

And besides, there’s annoying talk that congress may actually oppose the madame’s latest little suggestion that she be made practically the supreme pow­er in all labor disputes.

" Washington Digest $ National Topics Interpreted ByWILLIAM BRUCKART NAIlONAi .- = LSS '*A^H N1GION I:1 C Washington.—It is undoubtedly one Isf the fundamental foundation _ . stones of demo-J he reople cratic government Lote that where a civicright or privilege is accorded, the persons who are granted those rights necessarily have some duty to perform under those rights. It is well established, for example, that workers may or­ ganize into , unions; that those unions have the right to bargain collectively which means that a committee representing the mem­bers of that union may speak for it in dealing with the employers, and it is a right undoubtedly of unions to call its members away from work on strike. I think there can be no debate concerning these three premises. But since these rights have been granted .to workers and accepted by them on the same in­alienable basis as the right to vote, the obligations that go with these rights necessarily have been accept­ed by the workers. We have just seen a settlement of one of the great strikes of this decade and the return of more than one, hundred thousand workers to the plants of the General Motors corporation. Immediately after Governor Murphy of Michigan, had announced that General Motors and John L. Lewis and his Committee for Industrial Organization had Teached an agreement, efforts surged and swelled in a movement on the part of each side to claim victory in the settlement. From all sources I have been able to tap, from every trustworthy observer of national affairs, I have obtained vir­tually the same story about the Gen­ eral Motors—C. L O. strike settle­ment. As far as I can see after digesting all of the opinions within my reach, it seems to me. that neither General Motors nor John L. Lewis won. What is much more im­portant is that the American people lost by that strike and they are. in a fair way to lose much more. The General Motors strike was one of the costliest in history. I am told that the workers alone lost something like one hundred million dollars in wages, and, of course, the stockholders of General Motors likewise lost because during all those days, forty-four of them, that the plants were closed, no new cars moved into trade. That means that all the thousands of dealers and salesmen of General Motors auto­mobiles earned no income. The truth about the settlement seems to be that each side was will- _ , . , . ing near the end T roth A bout to accept Gover- Settlement nor M urphy s proposition for settlement as a face saving pro­ posal. It is undoubtedly true that John L. Lewis would have been Bunk without a trace and his move­ment to break up the American Federation of Labor and take con­trol of labor for himself would have been utterly ruined had there not been some concessions by the Gen­eral Motors officials. He apparently attempted to break up the A. F; of L. before he had sufficient union men weaned away from the parent organization and that is the reason why his position in the General Motors strike was So precarious from his personal standpoint. . On the other hand, it is quite evi­dent as well: that General Motors was forced into a position where it had to make concessions or be charged by the federal government with responsibility for bloodshed and destruction of property in riots. Governor Murphy acted throughout the strike negotiations under the flag of President Roose­velt, saying his movements were at the wish of the President. Gen­eral Motors did not dare attempt to run counter to the President’s commands because it could not withstand public sentiment that could and probably would be built up against it should it be publicly criticized by the President. And to support my statement that the settlement is a face saving agreement and that neither side won in it, it is necessary only to consider that this agreement will run . just six months. It contains no dements of permanency nor does it show any signs of a basic understanding which will swing pub­lic sentiment to the Lewis faction. Thus, there are many observers who feel that another crisis will . arise along about A nother the first of July Crow and that in themeantime Wil­liam Green, President of the Amer­ican Federation of Labor, will liave built up a considerable amount of strength on his side of. the,factional fight. What the future holds, there­fore, is difficult to guess. It can be said only that in the recent 'strike and in die controversy that seems certain to lie ahead. General Mo­ tors again will be the goat and the public will pay.I have been wondering whether many people recognize. how j.they are going to pay for the cost of this strike. I have mentioned ways in which they have lost, by it and it seems equally clear that when the Lewis unions get through with the use of force,, it is likely to bring about an increase in the cost of the automobiles they produce. It is like­ly to go further than just automo­ biles. There - is a move on now to attempt something of the same sort of labor attack on the steel manu­facturers. If that materializes, it is easy to see how widespread the increased costs will be and how consumers will pay in the end.This may seem to be an argu­ment against increased wages. It may seem to be a defense of steel boots that used to be worn by in­ dustrialists and with which they trod upon defenseless labor. But it resolves itself' into a question of justice and a consideration of the problem as it concerns consumers as well as workers. If there is anything in the theory that labor is entitled to a fair wage, there must be likewise some merit in the contention that the public which consumes the product of labor is entitled to an equal amount of con­ sideration.• * • Political leaders have been quick at all times ;in recent years to sit j ( astride the neck Federal 0f business, es- Chartera pecially big busi­ness. Corporations were held up as something to be despised, especially if they were large corporations. Lately there has been quite a definite movement for legislation in congress that would force corporations to have federal charters; that is, charters issued by the government at Washington, which, therefore, could control such corporations with whatever regula­tions were deemed necessary. This legislation, it is true, has not ap­proached the stage where a pre­diction of its passage can be made. The point is, however, that it rep­ resents the thoughts of a certain percentage of the people. The ques­ tion of legality of such a statute obviously, remains to be determined but it is to be noted that this prop­osition is simply another step in the movement to cast a stigma upon business, a move to make business appear immoral or criminal or gen­erally infamous. Business has found it advan­tageous to incorporate. It removes, certain responsibilities from the in­dividuals joining in a corporation and adds certain commitments at the same time. Here again are the rights and counter obligations aris­ing with those rights and I think no one can dispute the fact .that our nation has moved forward more rapidly because of the use of the corporation as a business entity.But -I. have been unable to find an answer to the question why the federal -government should take control by law of business corpora­tions without at the same time tak­ing control of labor organizations. Now, it is to be noted that labor unions have steadfastly avoided taking the step of incorporation. It is not true abroad where many la­bor organizations, hold corporate charters just as .would a business enterprise.The fact that labor unions have not incorporated leads one to the presumption that the 'unions have felt such a step would hamper Iheir activities. And, indeed, it might. For example, there have been scores oi instances where labor unions, through their authorized offi­cials or. bargaining committees, have signed- wage contracts with their employers—only to ditch that contract subsequently without re­gard for its binding force. As labor unions. are now or­ganized, they are very loosely knit associations and there is nothing by which the individual members are bound except their own will'to per­form. In the case of a business corporation, for example, the stock­holders have invested money and obviously when the. corporation is sued in' court or accumulates any kind of liability the stockholders* money in the . corporation is avail­able to pay whatever obligations develop. Hence, the lack of a cor­porate organization on the part of a union removes all responsibility insofar as law is concerned from the unit into which the workers liave organized themselves. The point is, after all, that the General Motors strike has demon­strated beyond the peradventure of a doubt that the national labor pol­icies are utterly ineffectual and con- tain no consideration for the con­ suming public.. Labor, as represent­ed by the John L. Lewis faction, has shown its willingness’to back its demands with force in disregard of law and it has failed to answer the responsibilities which it seems to me accomplish the rights and priv­ileges the nation accords it.6 WMtna Jiewapaptz Vata.-.

C. UNCOMMON AMERICANS B y Elmo d Western Scott Watson tleJSpe' His Gua Became a uJudgenCOMEONE once observed: “The Declaration of Independence stated that aU men are equal, but tbe Colt revolver made that state­ment a fact.” Certainlv that was proved on the Western frontier where the quality of man depended upon his quickness of-the “draw” and where this little weapon be­came the symbol of law in a law­ less land—it was judge, jury and high executioner all in one. Little wonder then that it should become known as “Judge Colt.” The father of "Judge Colt” was a Connecticut Yankee, born in 1814. As a boy Samuel Cblt listened to veterans talk about battles of the Revolution and especially about the feats of a rifleman named Tim Mur­phy who had a doubie- arrelled ri­fle. If someone could invent a gun that would shoot five or six times without reloading, that nation would rule the world. But, .of course, that was impossible, said the men of that day.Young Sam Colt didn’t believe it was impossible. So he began ex­perimenting with a four-barrelled rifle but he couldn’t make it work satisfactorily.' Then he was appren­ticed to a sea captain and from the sailors he learned to carve out little objects in wood.One day in the Indian ocean, while idly watching the steersman at the wheel, he noticed thal re- gardle-s of which way the wheel was spun, each spoke always came directly in line with a clutch that could be set to hold it. As he watched he found himself visioning holes in the rim of the wheel—holes which successively came into align­ment with a stationary opening. In a flash he saw the answer to his problem of a repeating gun. Then with “a jacknife that cost less than a dollar he started to whittle out the foundation of a fortune which was to run into millions.” From that model came the revolver which first proved its value in the war with the Seminole Indians, won an even greater reputation in the Mexican war and by the time the Civil war had begun was ar. indispensable part of a soldier's armament.Not r nly was Sam Colt the inven­ tor of a weapon which vitally af­fected military history, but he “was the first of the great American in­dustrialists. Colt, not the modem motor car manufacturer, conceived and first utilized in his plant stand­ardized machine production, di­vision of labor and the ’assembly line.’ He showed the way to the modern promoters of war . . . .he was the precursrr of the modern munitions kings—a pioneer in the art of playing one nation against an­other to increase his sales.’* An Important Vice-President IT'S a standard joke that the vice president of the UniteT States is about the most unimportant indi­vidual in our federal government unless the President happens to die. In that case he immediately be­comes a very important man. But .there was one vice president whose high place in American history is due to hi own death, rather than that of a President. In 1884 Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana, who had served as con­gressman, senator and governor and who had twice before beer, an unsuccessful candidate for the Pres­idency and once before defeated for the vice presidency, was elected vice president when Grover Cleve-. land defeated Blaine, the Republi­can candidate. Hendricks died eight months after his inauguration but his death while in office was not unique. Four other vice presidents —George Clinton, Elbridge Gerry, William R. King and Henry Wilson —had suffered the same fate. But foi the first time in three-quarters of a century America became aware of the potential dangers in such a situation. The Constitution provides that in the case of removal, death, resigna­ tion or disability of a President, the vice president shall succeed him. But in 1885 the vice president was dead. Suppose now that the President should also die, resign or be removed from oliice. Who would then become Presiaent? Neither the Constitutiou nor any act of congress had provided for that emergency, and apparently no one had ever given any thought to its possible re­sults.So congress got busy and on Jan­ uary 19, 1886 it passed a law pro­viding for a Presidential succession In case the vice president could not serve. Under its terms the sec­ retary oi state would become Presi­dent. In case he, too, would be un­able to serve, the next in line would be the secretary of the treasury and so on down the cabinet—sec­retary of war, attorney-general, postmaster - general, secretary of the navy, secretary of the interior, secretary of agriculture, secretary of commerce and secretary of la­ bor.Thus in bringing about this change Thomas A. Hendricks be­ came an “important’ vice president —but he bad to die to dc it!

It belongs to John T. Mc- Cutcheon, the Chicago, cartoonist,” explains the patient steward. “Now we’re over Hog island, where hu­man swallows from Canada and the States sun themselves in winter... There’s their Porcupine club, and Paradise beach. That wreck is an old Confederate blockade runner, sunk more than 70 years ago. The big island is New Providence, and this town is Nassau, capital of the Bahamas.” Landing at Nassau. Flashes now of galloping ponies training on a dusty track, and ,a golf course dotted with palms bent by tropic winds; a ruined tower, which the steward says was Blackbeard’s lookout; then ancient, abandoned forts, their rusty, muzzle - loading cannon no more harmful now than blind and toothless watchdogs, yet still frowning grimly at that sea long explored by Spaniards and haunted by pirates. Swift glimpses, too, of stately' Government house, the British flag, and stiff sentries on patrol, spacious homes set in gardens aflame with red, yellow, and purple. Then lower we glide, back over the long, narrow harbor with its trading schooners, lazy white yachts, and glass-bottom sight-seeing boats drifting over cor­ al beds and canary-colored fish, and so. down to.a smooth,- bumpless land­ing. One hears the greeting, “Welcome to'the Isles of June!” as he scram­bles ashore. From the dock the arriving visitor drives through long, straight Bay street, which is the shopping center of Nassau. High - roofed, horse-drawn hades, bells jingling and red curtains flapping, move in and out among motor cars, bicycles, and huge sponge carts, their cargo bulky but light.“To your right,” says your host, in mock imitation of a guide’s lec­ture, “is Old Fort Montague, cap­tured by the baby American navy during the Revolution...That wharf is where they hanged pirates. “That big shed is the sponge market. The hymns you hear are sung by the old women who sit here in the shade and clip sponges with their shears, and get them ready to ship.”“But who are all these excited people,” you ask, “crowding the curio shops for trick straw hats, turtle shells, and pickaninny dolls? Surely they can’t all live, in this smalltown!” I “They don’t. They’re travelers. Each season 60 or 80 big liners call here on Caribbean cruises. Plus those who come by planes and pri­vate yachts, Nassau winter visitors almost equal the whole population of the Bahamas.“Fifty-nine thousand people are scattered through these islands. Eighty per cent are olacks and mu- lattoes; many never even get to Nassau, much less the Florida mainland. This is. a town now,, you might say, of hotels—and history.” Where Columbus Landed. First and greatest event in all annals of our Western Hemisphere, in fact, occurred right here in these islands. That was on October. 12, 1492, when Columbus discovered America, ,in the form of San Sal vador. On this island, facing the opec Atlantic, is a monument set up bj the Chicago Herald in 1891 to com­ memorate the landing of the greal navigator. Here also a lighthouse rises, but not to show modern ships how to anchor where the Santa Marla did; rather, to help them keep safely away, for few visitors venture now where Columbus set up the Cross and traded trinkets with the shy Lucayans. . AU these Lucayans—about 40,000 —were enslaved by Spaniards, sent to work in Hispaniola mines, and the Bahamas left quite uninhabited. Yet, in time, these islands were tc become not only a historic stepping stone by which Europeans and Afri­cans reached our shores, but the stage for almost incredible adven­tures. Enmity toward England,' after the loss of the Great Armada, brought sanguinary conflicts, which in time became notorious for the nautical brigandage of the buccaneers. For generations these outlaws were the cause of constant diplomatic fric­tion between London and Madrid, as when English sailors, seized from the Boston ship, Blessing, were stripped by Spaniards, tied naked to mangrove bushes on a Bahama cay, and left to die of thirst in plain sight of each other. Famous is the story of “Jenkyns’ Ear.” When Spaniards took an Eng­lish ship commanded by a Captain Jenkyns, it is written that they cut off one of his ears and handed it to him, telling him to take it home and show it to his king! This ear, in a bottle, he exhibited later in the house of commons.Even Virginia and the Carolinas dreaded these Bahama pirates, es­pecially one Edward Teach, or “Blackbeard.” With his last com­mand, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, mounting 40 guns, Blackbeard and another pirate leader spread terror aU along our South Atlantic coast.When, in desperation, the British government finally sent that iron- fisted governor, Woodes Rogers, to hang pirates and make Nassau safe for honest traders, it began the first normal life it had ever known. That was in 1718, and the motto put on its coat of arms was, “Expulsis Pira- tis, Restituta Commercia.” “Pirate Treasure” Still Hunted. Today Blackbeard, his long whiskers worn in three beribboned braids tucked into his waistband among his many pistols, is but a memory—or a favorite model for Nassau masquerade parties. Yet hunting pirate treasure is still a constant adventure. Always, just around the corner, is a mysterious man with an “old map” for sale.“Feast, then famine, that’s been our history,” an Englishman born in Nassau will tell you. “Over and over again, in the last 300 years, hordes Cf people have swarmed into Nassau, on every errand from sell­ing slaves to running rum; these boom periods meant lots of easy money, but there’s been many a lean time in between.” When Uverpool used to send 100 or more “blackbirders” to Africa each year, and when our own American-built craft were in this traffic, as many as 74,000 blacks annually used to be sold into the West Indies, of which the Bahamas got their share.After Cornwallis yielded at York- town,’ loyalists flocked to the Ba­hamas, bringing their slaves, silver­ ware, and. other personal effects. On plantations of cane and cotton developed by these royal refugees rose another tide of profits. This ebbed when slaves were freed, and when competing agriculture grew up in the States. Agriculture Has Failed. Loyalists, departing for. England after this land boom faded, turned their farms over to ex-slaves or other retainers; lacking skill, capi­tal, or sufficient energyy, these lat­ter failed. Farming, declined. An easier living—if on a lower standard — was offered by the sea. Hence today the once productive fields are idle and brush-grown.Andros island; for exampie, named for an early governor of the Massachusetts colony, was once the scene of much sisal growing, well-known families in England be­ing the owners.:Now all that is abandoned.” ; ' ^-Yet today a new kind;of prosper­ity, wholesome aind satisfying; is coming to Nassau. This] is its rise as a popular winter resort, which Compensates' for the vanished reve­nue of former more exciting days. IMPROVED UNvIFORM INTERNATIONAL Su n d a y !CHOOLLesson / By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUISTt DfAn ot tbe Moody Bible- Institute of Chicago.G western Newspaper-Union. Lesson For March 7 LIFE HEBE AND HEREAFTER THROUGH CHRIST LESSON TEXT—John 14:1-15.GOLDEN TEXT — I am the way, th» truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6.PRIMARY TOPIC—In the Heavenly Father’s House.JUNIOR TOPIC — Many Mansions.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Why We Need Christ Always.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Life Here and Hereafter through Christ. It was the night before the darkest day in the world’s history. On the morrow the Son of man was to hang on Calvary's tree for the sins of the world—for your sins, and for mine. But for the moment he was alone with his disciples. The last Passover had been eaten together, the betrayer had been discovered, and the Lord has told them that he was soon to go where they could not follow. Peter had, by his bold self-assurance, brought forth the prophecy of his denial. The disciples were disturbed. Then came from the Saviour the words of comfort, as­surance, and power which have been the strength and solace of his peo­ple through all the centuries. Our life both here and hereafter is in His mighty hands.I. Comfort (w. 1-3). Troubled hearts are everywhere— in the palace and in the cottage, on land and sea. There is a place of rest, thank God! There is One who still speaks the majestic words, “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me.”His comfort is one which covers the future life, for he says:1. “I go to prepare a place”(v.2). Concern about future destiny is set­tled at once when Christ Jesus be­ comes our Lord and Saviour. We need worry no longer. He has gone on before to the Father’s house . to prepare a place for his own. When we come to that ever-peaceful shore we shall not come as strangers, but as sons and daughters to a prepared place in our Father’s house.2. “I will come again” (v.3) is the word that gives present mean­ing to the future promise. He not only prepares the place, but he it is who brings us there. The glorious hope - of his coming again is the Christian’s greatest comfort and mightiest incentive’to useful, holy living. H. Assurance (w. 4-11).The doctrine of Christian assur­ance is one of vital importance, and should be taught in all its scrip­tural power and beauty. Unfortun­ately it has so suffered violence at the hands of some of its friends that others have not only come to fear it, but even openly to oppose it. This is most regrettable, for it is manifest that until one has as­surance he win make but little prog­ ress in Christian usefulness.The believers assurance ' rests fundamentally on Christ himself. Two grounds are given in the text.I. “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (v. 6 ). These words are their own best commentary. Read them again, slowly, weighing the meaning of each word. If we are, in him who is the way, how safe we are! If we are not in him? Read his own solemn Words in verse 6 , “No man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (v. 11).In Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. He is not only a super­natural being, he is God. How can anyone deny that and read his words in these verses? To do so is to make Jesus a liar and blasphemer.HI. Power (w. 12-15).His followers are not left in a world of sin and need as a little group of hymn-singing weaklings, UiinMng only of Uie day when they shall be in a brighter land. Ah, yes, they sing hymns and rejoice in them; they look for a better land; their weapons of warfare are not carnal—but weaklings? Oh, no! God uses them to do great and mighty things for his glory.1. “He that believeth” (v. 12). This army of God carries the royal banner of faith. 2. “Greater works . . . shall he do” (v. 12). Jesus only began his work on earth. Its greatest develop­ment was to be the joyous privilege of his followers. 3. “H ye ask . . . I will do” (v. 14). Someone has called this a signed blank check., on all the re­sources of God. Faith fills it in, un­ der the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Moody knew how to use it. So did MueUer, Livingstone, J. Hudson Taylor—the list might go on indefi­nitely. Shall we dare to trust God and add our name as one of those who ask in faith? The Man of ,Wisdom He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he bias.—Epictetus. Thoughts of Good PeopleThe thoughts of some people live so near to God, that to ask Uiem to think' of us is to ask them to pray for us. Chief End of Education . Manhood, not scholarship, is the first aim of education.—E. T. SSton Stirrings of Spring i 'T'HE chic young miss above, cen- 1 ter, says, “I make my own Clothes. I learned sewing from Mother first, got a touch of it in school, and a real exposure in 4-H activities. I choose this dress for Spring .because it looks like Spring, and because it takes , the minimum of time and money. Fuff sleeves and princess lines give a formal note if I wish to impress the folks (which I often do) and the peplum jacket is added for frivolous reasons—when I want to feel a bit. sophisticated, and it makes a sweet all- occasion dress.” A Practical Choice. The Lady on the Left says, “Pm practical. I choose patterns that I can cut twice; then I have a gingham gown to set me off in my kitchen and an afternoon dress in which to entertain the Maggie- Jiggs club:. The all-of-a-piece yoke and sleeves make , me look years younger, the shirred pockets give the decorative note every, dress needs, and I can run it up in an afternoon.” Three-Purpose Pattern. The'Girl in the Oval has a far­away look' in her eyes. She says it’s because she wears glamorous blouses like this one. She cuts her pattern three times—no less—and evolves a blouse in eggshell for her velvet skirt; one in velveteen 'for her tweeds, and'the third in metallic cloth for after-five activi­ties. “The skirt with its simple well directed lines is equally well, suited to tweeds for sport, velvet for dress and wool for business,” says Madam.

There are some folks left who still believe in the old' fashioned wav of administering oaths: Tom Marshall, once vice presi dent of this great country, in the distant past, remarked that what this country needed worse than anything else, was a good five cent cigar.; If Tom could come back now be would say that what this country, needs are more states men and fewer politicians. What has become of all of our locust beer friends. Time was when a jug of locust or ’simmon beer would be dumped into cur office every few days. Here’s hoping our farmer friends will not forget how to make this delicious beverage, which is much better than the bot­ tled suds that lots of people pay good money for.

Some wild man in Georgia is thinking of organizing a “Parley for President Club. ’’ The time will never come in this country when Jim Parley is elected president of the United States. That Georgia Criacker must have forgotten that Failey is a member of the Roman Catholic church. The stranger who reads The Re cord, in other towns and states, would be led to believe that Uocks viile has only one dentist, no doctors no lawyers, only half a dozen stores, no mills, shops or factories, no hotels or garages. Sad indeed is such a state of affairs. We cannbtcompel the business men to advertise. It is to their interest more so than ours. Goternor Clyde Hoey has figured that Davie county’s part of the old age and child security bill will amount ti between $7 ,opoand $8, 000 aunually, but he didn't figure out. where the Davie county board of commissioners are going to get this extra amount of cash without . heaping extra burdens on the backs of the already overloaded taxpayers backs. : A good Methodist lady to!d us a few days ago that she knew a preacher’s wife who would vote to legalize the sale of liquor if an elec­ tion was called. .

Some years ago we had a number'of vacant houses here, but today they are practically all rented. Our town is not on a boom, but is enjoying a steady growth, which is usually better than a short-lived boom.

THROUGH A Wjmans Eyes By JEAN NEWTON “WE DON'T WANT THEM TO BE UKE US” ••TXTHAT do we want our chil-VV dren to be? We know we don’t want them like ourselves—” What rare, enlightened parent said that? No, Optimist, it was not a parent It was a well-known edu­cator, Miss Helen Parkhurst, found­er of the Dalton School in New York, who has carried her unique system of progressive education all over the world. “We don’t want them like our­ selves—” Many a parent has rea­ son enough, if he or she stopped seriously to take inventory, to say that And, yet, if there is one who has even questioned the desirabil­ity of having his children like him­self, a modem Diogenes, with a lan­tern might be of service In findinghim . Far more familiar is the parent who would regard as an injustice and a misfortune that a child of his should not be like him. Indeed, people who are modest about any­ thing else are grotesquely oblivious to the conceit that is implied in that viewpoint And parents who in oth­er matters are thoughtful of their children’s good are blind to the truth when it comes to the desirabil­ity of making those children sec­ ond editions of themselves. I heard a woman complain bitterly that her daughter did not have “my nature,” although for forty years that nature had struck a note of discord with the rest of the world. Another chap- . .ter of the same story is written in -mournful accents by the legion of square pegs forced into round holes by parents who believed that their children’s medium for self-expres­sion must be the same as their own.Parents make tremendous sacri­fices for the welfare of their chil­dren. Hiey must wish for them a harmony within themselves that is as near as is humanly possible to perfection. How paradoxical, then, for Ihem to want the children to be like themselves. For by the time we are old enough to become par­ents we have—all of us—forfeited our own hopes for perfection. In the child—still near to God—we h-.ve a second chance. A woman of charm and high at­tainments said, “We do not want them like ourselves—" and many listeners smiled. But that is the humility before the child and his vast possibilities that is character­istic of those worthy of the trust. When parents are big enough to feel that humility in their great respon­sibility, there will be. more promise for the child, in whom lies our hope for the future.. .r; Little Mollie sat down to write a letter to her-father, who had been absent about three months, and this is'what die finally sent: “Dear Father, we are all well and happy. The baby has grown ever so much and has a great deal more sense than he used to have. Hoping the same of you, I remain, your daugh- 1 ter, Mollie.” “ I’m going to marry a pretty girl and a good cook.” “ You can’t.

Mrs. Campell Gives Qailting Party. Mrs. L. H. Campbell was gracious hos teas on Friday, February 19. at her home on Miller avenue, to some friends at an old-time quilting patty. One large quilt was made for the parsonage of Eastside Baptist church and one for her son, Thom­as Lee Campbell. In the large living room where the quilts were made were decora tionsand arrangements of antique fur nishings suggestive of George Washington.' Of special mention is a handsome pic tore adorning these walls. The needle work was done by a great-aunt of MrSt- Campbell's son. While the dainty frame was made by bis great uncle frcm the bark of a long leaf pine in motifs showing the clusters of the straws as they grow na­turally, brought together with an emblem of the burr at each corner.The sitting room Opens into the son room, where there was an array of band- work or rare patterns. Some of the crochet, ing and handmade lace has been banded down to the fifth generation. Among the articles were two home woven counter panes of Mrs Campbell’s. A tufted one was made during Civil War davs by her maternal grandmother, who was then the wife of Capt. AUe Anderson of Davie Co. N. C. The other one, made bv her pater­nal grandmother, whose maiden name was Miss Rachel Baity, dates back much farther. She did everything to it. with her own bands—even to dropping the seed in the soil, picking the cotton from seed, and shifting the shuttle that made the lovely lace and cloth. .A delicious 6 o’clock dinner was served to ten ladies who quilted.

Bright Star B y Mary Schumann Copyright by Macrae Smith Co. WNU Servioa SYNOPSIS Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twenty, at* rives home in Cnrinth from school and ts met by het older, brother, Hugh. He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kerias sis­ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the care of three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh’s wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way hack to his job at the steel plant founded by one of his fore' bears, Hugh passes Doe Hiller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be* iause of Dorjie’s antipathy.' Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char* •cter she fears Keria has inherited. Ellen Pendleton comes over. She Is an artistically inclined girl who is a distant niece of Flu* vanna’s and a favorite of Hugh’s. She hap­pily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. EUen fears, that her father and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not ap­prove the match. Hugh and Dorrie go out to the Freeland Farms to dance with their friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who has been out of work,- announces that he has a new position. Cnn and Dorrie dance to­gether and then disappear for a while. Danc­ing with Joan, Hugh n amazed to find her In tears. Apparently she has some secret worry over her husband, Cun. When EIJeo and Jerry speak about their engagement to Ellen’s par­ents, Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym­pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat­ter is left pending. CHAPTER in—Continued It tvas whispered around that he had been threatened with prison, that he had used company money for his own use. People shoo* their heads over a wasted life, women discussed it at tea parties for a week, then the .world moved on about its own consumtngly inter­esting affairs. Fluvanna was ill for several weeks. Dry-eyed, white, almost speechless, she lay in bed. Her friends whispered of shock—she had found him that way after she heard the shot. Small wonder she was ill with that, and if she knew half the things that were rumored I When she grew better, she de­voted herself to her children and went out very little. Her friehds could not surmise the poignancies that harmless, idle conversation could awaken, could not vision the pain that talk of home and hus­bands and plans for the future could awaken in a tortured soul, bleeding with memories. CHAPTER IV Hugh was intensely annoyed as He buttered his breakfast roll. “You Say you wrote to him, and then you got this letter? Wlqr didn’t you say something to me first?” “I thought I might persuade you to change," answered Dorrie. He shook his head. “It wouldn’t do, darling, at all. Insurance is a business I know nothing about. It would take me a year or two to learn—and what would we live on during that time?”“John thinks you might do very well in a few months. See what he says,” she tossed the letter over to him from John Reeper, husband of her sister BeryL It was a mild communication, of­ fering little or nothing; if Hugh wanted to take up the insurance business in New York, he would ppt him in touch with the right par­ties. Hugh groaned to himself that Dorrie should regard this as a busi­ness opportunity!The lace on the Sowing sleeve iff Dorrie’s negligee fell away as she lifted her arm to pour a cup of coffee. “Your father was in the in­surance business—you should have some talent for it,” she said idly.Hugh disregarded that. "We’d have to move away.”“Exactly.”"You want to? Leave this little place, our place? The arbor-vitae hedge is coming along so nicely, and the peach and plum trees weplanted ”“Sentimental as a woman” "I’d hate to leave Corinth—even if this were a real opportunity—and it isn’t. The place where you were born sort of gets into your blood. You know everyone . . . and Moth­er—she’s here.”“All the foolish objections first and the real one last!”Hugh looked at her reproachfully. “And you like the steel business? i’ve heard considerable complaint about how hard that is!” She was using the curling tone he disliked, very soft, edged with malice.“I’ve spent eight years in it. My grandfather was in it; most of my relatives' are. At least I know what it’s about.”When she did not answer he wait on pleadingly. “I haven’t dene so badly here, Dorrie. And it hasn’t been my name or connections. Those don’t count with competition keen as it is. I started at the bot­tom and they advanced me. I might get a good salary some day —yes, a really good one.” tike threw out her hands; a small. wise smile curved her lips. "At least I’ve asked yen! But It has turned <v exactly the way I ex­pected it w! . . . I’ll write to Beryl today.” At the plant that morning, he visited the different departments, checking with the foremen on the progress of the work. A little after ten a long distance call came in from Congress City about some steel mesh they had delivered for road building. Potter, the contractor, complained ihat it was not ,of . the specified thickness, and was much annoyed. Hugh promised to send a man to look at it at once. Potter was a good cus­tomer; it wouldn’t do to offend him. He sent for the records, talked with the foreman and decided to make the trip to Congress City him­self, a drive of SO miles. A fine day—and if he drove, why not take Dorrie? They could go over the New Portland highway, which wound along a ridge of the hills. Fine scenery. He tried to telephone her but the line was busy. She had told him she wasn’t going out today—he would have some sandwiches packed at the club, drive up and get her.- Sne would probably be glad to have the outing. With his basket of lunch which the chef at the club had put up for him, and driving toward home, he felt an expanding glow within him­ self at this unexpected break in the daily order. A day with Oorrie, out under the sky and sun, would work its magic, would smooth out misunderstanding, draw them clos­er in harmony.He saw Tillie, the maid, moving a dust cloth over an upstairs win­dow sill as he went up the walk. Dorrie was telephoning at the hall table in a low almost inaudible voice as he entered the front door. She turned at the sound of his foot­steps, and the look which came over her face, startled, almost an- gry, gave him a feeling of shock.She hung up the receiver quickly without saying good-by.“What brings you home? For- get something?” she inquired light­ly. A flush colored her cheeks.“No. I came to see if you would like to go jaunting.”“Where?”"Congress City. The contractor there is kicking about the road mesh we sent. Want to go?”She hesitated. “No, you go along alone. I’m not dressed and there are things I want to do.”The telephone pealed sharply. Dorrie whirled abruptly for it, but Hugh had already lifted the re­ceiver to his Car. “Hello . . . hello . . . hello.”He hung up. “No one on the line apparentlyh. . .. You don’t want to go? What’s the reason? Haven’t made a date, have you? We could drive over the Portiand highway— they say it is beautiful scenery.” The flush on her face had faded; she looked rather pale. “It does sound nice, reconsidering. I’ll go.” “I had a lunch packed and thought we would eat along Lone­ some River.”She smiled faintly In approval "I'U slip into that green dress you like and be with you in a minute.”In the country Dorrie sang soft­ly, a snatch of this, a bit of that, a rhythmical accompaniment to the purring of the engine. Thqr chose the less frequented narrow roads which led' past rich farms, gently- rolling hill farms, brooks dividing the pastures where cattle grazed, ponds which reflected the blue sky and its cottony wisps of cloud.It was July when the season pauses in stillness. The sparkling, capricious spring was past; there was no hint of autumn.The new highway crested the hills. They drove higher and high­er until a panorama of countryside, the sweep of field, - the darkness of wood, the stubble of cut grain and shimmer of piled wheat, extended in great rolling distances to right and left of them, so far that a blue haze-met the horizon.Dorrie touched his arm. “Let’s stop here, Hugh. Like a view from an airplane, isn’t it?”The deep valley beside them wound sinuously. Far down they caught the gleam of a small river, silvering over some rapids, escap­ing the fringe of hemlock and wil­low which leaned caressingly over it.“Lonesome River,” said Hugh. "See that flat rock down by the stream? We’ll be eating lunch there in ten minutes.”They descended the mountain and came to a settlement of a doz­en very old somnolent houses called Norwich. A lane to the right of the bridge led for a short dis­tance along the river bed. They parked the car under some syca­mores, and taking the picnic bas­ket, started along the little-used trail by the water.“Hungry?” asked Hugh, when they came to a ledge close to the “Ravenous! What did you bring?” She. knelt over the basket and drew out some chicken sandwiches wrapped in oil paper, piled them on a napkin between them. “And fruit! Ginger-ale — and - glasses! You thought of everything!” “It won’t be very cold. It's been over an hour since they took it off the ice.”“Never mind. It will be wet any­ how. Have you an opener?”Lunch over they sat side by side for a few minutes, his arm around her.‘!You’ve been nicer to me todaj than you’ve been for ages;” sail Hugh softly. “Have I, old funny?”(TO BE COtiTtNVEDt KKItirkIri STAR DUST ******★K * JMLovie • R adio* Alice Faye ★ ★ ★ K K K K K * K * * * By VIRGINIA VALE dr** IT HAS always been difficult to get permission to visit stu­ dios in Hollywood. From now on, popular comedians, like the Marx Brothers, Jack Benny, and Burns and Allen hope to make it impossible. In fact, if there were any way that they could make pictures without having a flock of carpenters, electricians, property men, and extras around, they would be heartily in favor of adoptirg it. Thieves on the set are the reason for all this uproar. It would be bad enough if the thieves merely lifted jewelry, or furs, but these thieves steal ideas whose worth cannot be estimated unless you can think in staggeringly big figures. When co­ medians and their gag men have fi­nally worked out a funny situation and filmed it, two months may elapse before it is shown on the screen. But almost at once come­dians elsewhere introduce their fenny situation. Obviously, some­one from the studio told them about it—but who?—-k— It is always gratifying to see a real trouper win out over all odds. That is why every­one is rejoicing over Alice Faye’s hit in “On the Avenue.”When Irving Berlin moved into the Twentieth Century- Fox studio with a knockout musical score under his arm, the studio officials said, “We’ve got som ething big here.” So, they de­cided to build up a marvelous cast with players bor­rowed from other, studios. They got Dick Powell from Warner’s and Madeleine Carroll from Walter Wanger Productions for the leading roles. And then their own Alice Faye in a secondary role walked off witii all honors that weren’t taken by the crazy antics of their own Ititz Brothers. —-K- A long time ago Paramount bought a story called "Easy Mon­ ey” for Carole Lombard, but she has been so busy on other pictures she never got around to make it. Meanwhile the studio officials have been impressed by the bounding popularity of Jean Arthur and de­cided she would do nicely in the leading role. After a vacation in New York, she will; —-K- For months Cary Grant has gone around saying that if his Paramoimt contract would only come to an end, he would never sign another with anybody. He would just make pic­ tures when he felt like it, and spend the rest of his time lying on. the beach at Santa Monica or taking leisurely trips to England. But after watching his work in the new Grace Moore picture, Columbia officials didn’t like his idea at all. They de­cided they must have him under contract. No one has ever been known to win an argument with Jack Cohn, the grand mogul of Co­lumbia Pictures, so Cary signed the contract he offered. —-K- Back in New York all the young stage players and all the dramatic school students go to see Greta Garbo in “Camille” over and over. Two girls who are living on a tiny budget that permits eating only now and then and never riding on a street car or bus, had gone every day for six days and seen the pic­ture at least 14 times. They were broke and hungry, but they felt they just had to see it again. So, they screwed up their courage and told the manager of the Capitol theater how'much they were learning from watching her, and he arranged to let them in free. —-K- Deanna Durbin, the fourteen-year- old sensation of Eddie Cantor’s ,radio program and Universal’s “Three Smart Girls” thinks New Yorkers aren’t very good mathema­ticians. She realized her lifelong ambi­ tion of climbing the stairs inside the Statue of Liberty on her first visit to New York a few weeks ago. But . the sign at the foot of the steep, winding stairs said there were 161 steps, and Deanna counted 165. Determin­edly she dragged her weary feet up the steps again, only to find that she was right the first time. —-K— ODDS AND ENDS . . .

The artist’s drawing, as repro- 1 duced above, calls for a magnificent double-decked entry­way with underpasses, overpasses, pedestrian walks, bus terminals, comfort stations and bridge connections assuring comfort while providing an area of architectural splendor. Shown is a ramp leading from the exposition grounds to­ ward the I.R.T.-B.M.T. subway terminal, at a point where it is necessary, to cross over the Long Island railroad tracks. and to avoid undue congestion of pedestrian trafiic. Shown in the left foreground Is a domed restaurant within a foun­ tain basin and a concourse bordered by grown plane-trees and, nearer, an open-air cafe and an information kiosk Along the flanking walls the artist has-delineated the Fair’: world concept which looks to the building of a peaceful happier World of Tomorrow.

Jr.. is reported as fa voring what be calls: “A united church of all sects ”. He says it could "preserve individual and nonessential differences.” If men like Mr Rockefeller read the New Testament at all, it i> strange that they would even think of such a program, much less ser iously propose it. Nearly two thousand years ago the Lord prayed that bis followers might be one as he and the Fatbet are one. SeeJohn 17 :20, 21. No •‘differences” to be “preserved.” Not'only so but see how solemn Iy the- Inspired record beseeches, and admonishes, the . followers of ChristtV to all “speak the same thing, and that there be no divi­ sions'among” them. Seeist Cor cio Yet, .-in the face of all this plain language^Mr. Rockefeller suggests a program which means nothing, absolutely, nothing, so far as unity is concerned; as we find it describ ed inthejNew Testament He does not ask that tbev lay a side their differences, but that they ■preserve’1 them. How unlike the language of in­ spiration quoted above, which de mandsrtbat Christ’s Iollowers “all speak "the/ same thing,, and that there ,be 110 divisions among” them. The’idea' of attempting any sort of nnioni tpf a great plurality of re ligious organizat ions, every one of whiclvltas^ been founded by men long’since; the New Testament was written,'fnd'every one teaching a differenttdoctrine.

All over the nation tbe press re ■ords ca«es covering the gamut of iffenses against law and order on the part of those who have criminal records and whose ^likenesses and fingerprints are on file in many ■ities. Indeed, when a criminal is ■ pprebended today the authorities immediately look for a previous conviction—and usually find one or more.

How many rettt'n to criminal pur suits may be determined by exam ining police records.

C. News Review of Current Events the World Over Administration’s Billion Dollar Housing Bill Introduced— Epidemic of Sit-Down Strikes—Townsend Convicted of Contempt of House. By EDWARD W. PICKARD . © Western Newspaper Union. r. C ENATOR ROBERT P. WAGNER of New York and Representative Henry-B. Steagall of Alabama intro­duced simultaneously in the senate and house the ad­ministration bill set­ ting up a program for the construction of homes for “fami­lies of low income/’ Under the measure the government may lend to state or local housing authorities $1,000,000,000, from July I, 1937, to July I, 1941, the money Sen. Wagner for this purpose to be raised by bond issues and the loans to be supervised by a new department, the United States Hous­ing authority. To supplement the loans congress is asked to appropri­ate $30,000,000 to be paid in out­ right grants. The loans are to bear interest at not less than the going federal rate and are to be payable over such a period, not to exceed 60 years, as the authority may de­termine. Competition with private industry is guarded against, according to the authors, “by insuring that housing projects shall be at all times avail­able only to families who are in the low income groups.” The four year program calls for the construction of 375,000 family dwelling units at an average cost of $4,000 a unit. Wagner and Steagall insisted that the bill called for “de­centralization.”“All the direction, planning, and management in connection with publicly assisted housing projects are to be vested in local authorities, springing from the initiative of the -petiple' in the communities con- r cerned;” they stated. “The federal . government will merely extend its financial aid through the medium of -these1 agencies. The only exception to the strictly decentralized admin­istration is that the federal govern­ ment fnay set up a few demonstra­tive projects in order that local areas, without adequate instrumen­talities of their own may benefit by an experience in low rent housing.” ' U AVING virtually countenanced A the sit-down strike in the case of the General Motors controversy, the administration found itself em­barrassed by that favorite ma­neuver of John Lewis’ Committeefor Industrial Organization.~ Out in Monica, Calif., about 200 employees of the Douglas Air­craft corporation went on strike and “sat down” in the Wg plant, com­pletely stopping work on $24,000,000 worth of- airplanes the company is building for the government. Tbe men defied a trespass warning and an order to evacuate the plant sent them by the police, and Miv Doug­las refused to negotiate with the uhion- uwtil the strikers got out of ,the buildings. The situation was complicated by a quarrel over worker'representation between the Automobile Workers* union, a C. I. O. group, and the Machinists'' union, allied with the A. F. of L. Finally the strikers were indicted for conspiring to violate two old California laws against forcible en­ try and trespassing, and when 300 armed deputies appeared at the plant, they surrendered and were taken to Los Angeles for arraign- ■ ment.Another big government job was halted for a time by a sit-down .strike of employees of the Electric Boat company at Groton, Conn., which is building submarines for the navy. There, however, the local and state police soon evicted the trespassers and arrested them, and the rest of the employees, a large ; majority, resumed work.Speaking “not as an officer of the administration,” Secretary of Com­merce Daniel C. Roper' said that any sit-down strike “that under­takes to take over private proper­ ty is a very serious and fundamen­tal thing and in my opinion will not be long endured by .the courts.” /There was almost an epidemic of strikes throughout the country, many of them of‘the sit-down vari- . ety.: Some were settled in short order but others are still on at this writing. Among these was the strike at the Fansteel Metallurgical cor- poration m North Chicago, where the'disgruntled workers refused to ,leave the plant. Gov. Henry Hor­ner was striving earnestly to bring about a settlement. -.'■■■ : John L. Lewis’ threat, during the -,General. Motors strike, that “Ford and Chrysler are next,” is being carried out. The United Automobile Workers union sent to Walter P. Chrysler demands that the U. A. W. be recognized by his corporation as the sole collective bargaining agency. OPEN warfare. by the govern­ ment on private power inter­ests will be started soon if the rec­ommendations of President Roose­velt to congressional leaders are acted upon favorably. In letters to Vice President Garner and Speaker Bankhead, the President urged that prompt action be taken to provide for the sale of electric power from the $31,000,000 Bonne­ville project on the Columbia river in Oregon; and he intimated this might be taken as the forerunner of a national power policy. The rec­ommendations were in accord with a report from the committee on na­tional power policy and also with the position Mr. Roosevelt. took in the controversy with Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, TVA chairman, who fa­vored co-operation with existing power companies and consideration for their investment. Here is what the President pro­posed: 1.—That not less than 50 per cent of the power generated at Bonne­ ville be' reserved for sale to public authorities, such as states, districts, counties, municipalities and other sub-divisions and to co-operative as­sociations of citizens. 2.—That the government construct it, own transmission lines, sub-sta­tions and other facilities for trans­ porting power so as to make the government project independent of existing utility companies. 3.—That the federal government control the re-sale rates to consum­ers through regulation by the fed­eral power commission. 4.—That the power be sold at rates low enough to promote the widest use of electrical energy, par­ticularly to domestic and rural consumers. These rates, the Presi­dent insisted, should be fixed with relation to only that part of the to­tal $51,000,000 Bonneville investment that the government saw fit to charge to power generation.5.—That the federal agency ad­ministering the project be author­ized to acquire by eminent domain if need be, land, franchises, exist­ing transmission lines. R.'' FRANCIS E. TOWNSEND, the elderly Californian who de­vised the old age pension plan bearing bis name, was found guilty of contempt of the house of representa- 0 tives because he re-* fused to testify be­fore a house com­mittee that was in- .. i vestigating h isV1 ' 3J scheme last spring C , « and “took a walk”out of the commit­ tee room. The ver­dict, rendered by a jury in the District of Columbia court, made the doctor li­able to a sentence of one to twelve years in jail or a fine of from $100 to $1,000, or both. Judge Peyton Gormn deferred sentence until he could pass on a motion for a new trial. Townsend seemed rather to wel­come the verdict, saying he had expected it. “Lord bless you, FU be an the more active,” he said when asked what effect a convic­tion would have on his movement. “I think it will be the general opin­ion that I have been the victim of an injustice. Our organization will be spurred to greater efforts." CtOUAWING the example set by *■ the five operating railway broth­ erhoods—engineers, firemen, con­ductors, trainmen and switchmen— the sixteen non-operating brother­hoods, with a membership of 800,- 000, have voted to demand wage in­ creases averaging 30 cents an hour. This action was taken, at a.meeting in Chicago of the general chair­men of the brotherhoods. Besides the pay increase, the men ask the guarantee of full time employment for all regularly assigned workers and two-thirds time for “standby” employees. The non-operating brotherhoods embrace the clerks, telegraphers, carmen, shop laborers, Machinists, blacksmiths, dispatchers, boiler­makers, drop forgers, sheet metal workers, ,electrical, workers, freight handlers, express and station em­ployees, maintenance of way men, signal men and sleeping car con­ductors. P LANS for the complete blockade of Spain by the other European powers, in order to starve out the civil war, met with difficulties ow­ ing to the bringing up of points in­volving the national honor of France and Russia.

The Spanish loyalists were mak­ing a desperate effort to capture Oviedo, where the insurgent garri­son was;, attacked by dynamite throwing Basques. The defenders, numbering about 12,000 men, were hard pressed and it seemed im­ possible Uiat relief forces could reach the city in time to save them.

So it couldn’t be that.AU of a sudden it dawned on me.Since coming here I’ve seen mighty few 1912 - model grandmothers bat- ring in the movies, and then, with the exception of dear May Robson, they had to weai makeup.We don’t so much mind the young girl who has gone prematurely old —we’re accustomed to her—but the old woman who has gone prema­turely young, so young that she seems to' be advertising the ap­ proach of second childhood by dressing to match it—well, that’s different.So now I know what I miss.

NEW Brunswick is granting free licenses for sportsmen to kill bears this spring. I regard this as an error. It reduces bears, which are picturesque features of forest life, and increases amateur gunners barging through the wilderness plug­ ging away at every living object they see, including guides. A green­ horn might miss a sitting union depot—probably 'would—but he gar­ ners him a guide nearly every, time.On all counts, the black bear should have game protection. For every shoat he steals, he eats thrice his weight in 'grubs and ants and bugs; and he’s a fine scavenger, for he likes his dead meat high. H he were a-veteran member of 11 Maryland Duck club, he couldn’t like it any higher.Even so, he has been preyed on until, in parts of our north woods, he’s practically extinct.

IRVIN S. COBB£ Westtsn Newspaper Vnioau e Kational Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart ■ Washington. — I suppose most members'of congress will deny it, 0 .... . but there certainlyP olm eal is every evidence D ynam ite of an agreement,an understanding, to let President Roosevelt’s radical court reform legislation stew until the country is heard from. There is no doubt in my mind nor in the minds of other observers here that representatives and senators areanxiously' awaiting word from their constituents because if any issue ever was loaded with political dyna­ mite, the plan to pack the Supreme court of the United States with six additional judges surely contains highly explosive elements. The facts I have mentioned in the above paragraph explain largely why there are so many senators and house members who remain non­committal on the issue. They want to know which way to jump. Actu­ally, I-believe as many as half of them are going to try to determine which band wagon they ought to ride—whether they ought to, go against the President or for him. In other words, the spot they are now on is not nearly so hot as the one upon which they may find them­selves if they guess wrong at this time. No politician will ever jump from the frying pan into the fire knowingly.In the meantime, the debate rages. Out and out supporters of President Roosevelt, the kind of men who follow him blindly because he is their leader, and the extreme op­position type who are against the President regardless of his position are battling for public attention. The radio is being used to an extent as great, if not greater, than occurred in the last campaign. Those who are committed for or against the President’s reform proposition are anxious to sustain their positions and the remainder of the national legislature is egging on the more bold members in order that those who have not made up their niinds can take advantage of word from back home. In the meantime, as well, there are proposals and counter-proposals seeking a compromise/Few of them have any definite merit. Most of them, I believe, are purely and solely representative of floundering minds. Their sponsors entertain hopes that somehow, somewhere they will gain a streak of light that will guide them through to a proper answer politically.There has been only one plan for giving the federal government more power that can possibly be de­ scribed as sound. That is the origi­nal proposition by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader of the senate, who announced early in the session of congress that he favored an amendment to ttie Con­stitution. While Senator Robinson did not then say so, nor has he said so since, the truth is that he and many others would1 like to see the people of the country have an op­portunity to pass upon any program that would change the country’s ju­diciary. The President regards this method as too slow. He thinks that any changes which he desires ought to be made at once and holds that the tremendous ^majority by which he was re-elected gives him author­ity to do so. Yet, as the picture now stands, there is every prospect of considerable delay and from the way I analyze the circumstances, delay will provide the vast majority of voters, with an opportunity for determination of the question which is vital in this case: Does the coun­try want to keep an independent system of courts or does it want to establish a precedent by which this administration or any other ad­ministration can influence those courts to do the bidding of the na­ tion’s Chief Executive?• • • ■ Through many years and in every year there has been constant criti- _ , . cism of congressS a fety Vs. f0T delay in reach- Speed ing conclusions. It is fortunate, in my opinion, that these delays constitute a part of our governmental system. They allow time for cooling off.I think it will be-generally agreed that every time legislation is rushed through congress ahead or as part of an emotional wave among citi­ zens, there has invariably resulted unworkable, if not entirely unsound, statutes. Such is bound to be the result when men and women fail to think things through—when they fail to examine all of the phases of any problem. President Roosevelt moved quick­ly, ,and I believe sincerely, in pro­posing the NRA and the farm relief plan under the agricultural adjust­ment administration. Yet, neither of these reform measures stood the test of work ability; neither had been drafted upon a. proper knowledge of the ends they were to serve and neitber did justice to all of the peo­ ple. It was .only natural, therefore, that they should fall by the way­side. . , -,These two laws dre'-cited because 'they are the outstanding .-examples of emotional legislation.. There are many others, most of them not as bad. But lately one offshoot of the NRA has arisen to plague the ad­ ministration. I refer to the so-called Walsh-Healey law.In order to refresh memories,:let* me explain that the Walsh-Healey law prohibits the federal govern­ment from buying-products of mills- or factories, or any fruit of labor, unless the supplying contractor has complied with the same. minimum hours and wages that were a part of the old NRA code's. Unless the contractor agrees to produce the material which the federal govern­ment is buying in accordance with those terms, his bid must be re­jected under the law. When the Walsh-Healey law was passed, there were comments heard in several quarters that the 'iime would come when the government itself would regret the legislation. That time has arrived. ,Everyone is aware, of course, that Great Britain has started on a naval building program under which it will expend approximately seven and a half billion dollars in the next five years. American policy always has called for matching the British navy ship by ship. Fifteen years ago when the Harding disarmament program was written into treaty form, we destroyed ships so that our tonnage was the same as that of Great Britain. Now, with the world in a turmoil, with Great Britain an­ nouncing an unprecedented building program in order to protect its vast colonies and dominion from aggres­sion, the need arises for a building up of our navy again. At least that is Mr. Roosevelt’s view and he has wide support for it.* * • To build up the navy requires vast amounts of steel and other products . of industry. MuchU nable to 0f the naval build- Cet Steel ing will’ be'done in the ■ navy’s own yards. Thus, it has come to pass that the navy has been unable to obtain steel and other equipment since the manufacturers of the needed equipment are not willing to subject themselves to the terms of the Walsh-Healey law. In some in­ stances where the navy has sought to buy material, the manufacture ers have refused even to make an offer or state a price at which they would sell the required material and there is a very real possibility that unless the Walsh-Healey law is re­pealed or dodged, our navy build­ing program may have to come to a halt. The reason for this condition is that the Walsh-HeaIey law, with its prescription on minimum hours of labor and wages would place a hur- den on industry that it cannot bear and return its cost of production. The government, as a buyer, is a tough customer in any event. Its specifications are always more diffi­ cult than is the. practice in industry. Add to that, then, the requirement that men may work only 30 hours a week and that their pay shall not be reduced from the'rate of their compensation when they were'work­ing 40 hours a week end you have burdened any manufacturing estab­lishment with a load that will break its'back. Right now, Uie Navy department is trying to find a way to get around the provisions of the Walsh-Heaiey law. President Roosevelt has said nothing publicly concerning his atti­tude but there are many who believe he himself feels the law is not work­ing out the way it was intended. It is quite a distance, of course, from the Walsh-Healey law to the present controversy under Mr. Roosevelt’s plan to pack the Su­preme court with six' new judges if one stops his examination of the two questions at the ,surface. It is not difficult, however, to see a di­rect connection. The Walsh-Healey law was driven through congress in haste. The bad effects of it are coming now two years after its en­actment. If the Supreme court re­ form proposal is driven through as quickly and with as little examina­ tion as the WaIsh-HeaIey law, we will reap the reward sooner or later and probably for many years to come.9 Wotem Newspaper Union.' “Gnu”, of Hottentot OriginThe name “gnu” is of Hottentot origin, and was in use by na­ tives when-white settlers first went to South Africa.

For Matthew Fontaine Maury was one of the greatest benefactors of all those who sailed th$ seas in his day and mariners still honor his name today. Born in Virginia in 1806, Maury joined the navy as a midshipman at the age of nineteen. During his long voyages he became impressed with the scanty information that was available about prevailing winds and ocean currents. Strangely enough, an accident on land gave him his opportunity to do something about it. He was in a stagecoach smash-up in Ohio which made him a cripple for life. As a result, he was placed In charge of the depot of charts and instruments in Washington out of which developed the hydrographic office and the naval observatory. Here he started collecting all avail­ able information on the meteorolo­ gy of the ocean which he com­piled from a great number of old log books of naval, vessels. . The.re­ sult was his first Wind ahd Current Chart, issued in 1847. About 5,000 .of these, charts were distributed to shipmasters, who found them-amazingly useful, short­ ening voyages by days and weeks. “It was as. if a friendly wizard in seven-league boots had suddenly risen out of the waves to lead mer­chant vessels by the shortest and quickest paths.” So they were glad to heed Maury’s request to send him the results of their observations of winds and weather and he began issuing more charts. Within a few years 200,000 copies of the charts were being used by mariners of all nations and it was estimated that the annual -saving to the shipping of one nation alone was $10,000,000. The outbreak of the War Between the States was a tragedy for'Maury in more ways than one. Loyalty to his native state forced him to re­ sign when Virginia seceded but, due mainly to the jealousy of a superior officer, his usefulness to the Con­ federacy was hampered and his ca­ reer in its. service was not a dis­ tinguished one. After living for a while in England, he returned to America and to a professorship at the Virginia Military institute where he wrote a geography series which is still in use. He died In 1873, “full of years and honors” and one of the finest monuments in Rich­ mond today perpetuates the fame of this “Pathfinder of the Seas.” “President for a Day” A CITY in Kansas, a county in Missouri and part of the name of a great railway system bear his nhme, but David R. Atchison is best known .in American, history as the man who, it has often been asserted, was “President ? for a day.” A native of Kentucky who emigrated to Missouri in 1830, Atchison was serving as a senator from that state in ,1848 when Zach­ ary Taylor was elected President -to- succeed James K. Polk. On March 3,. 1849, Vice President George M. Dallas; presiding officer of the senate, announced "the close of my official term being near -at hand, I conform to an established and convenient practice by with­ drawing from the deliberations of this body.” On the motion of Sen­ ator Benton of Missouri, Senator Atchison was then appointed .presi­dent pro tern of die senate for the remainder,.of that session of the national congress. March 4, the traditional Inaugura­ tion day, fell on a Sunday and the President-elect not only -had reli­ gious scruples about being inaug­urated'on the Sabbath but doubted the-legality ©f such a proceeding. So the' inauguration ceremonies Were set for Monday, March 5. Friends of Atchison claimed that/ since President.Polk’s term ended on March 3 and TaylorV did' not begin until March 5, there was .an interim of one day in which the senate was the only continuingtgpyS erning body. Since AtchisonSvpk president pro tern., of the senafe/af"*' thereby acting vice president.: (J)L., las having resigned) he acting President between the ^ad­ ministrations of Polk and Taylor, i. e. “President for a day.” Atchison himself never made any such claim and declared that the of­ fice of President was vacant from noon Saturday to noon Monday. Asked once how he enjoyed his short term in office he replied that he really did not know because he slept • through most of it after an exhausting last day session of the senate. Constitutional . authorities agree with Atchison in regard to the vacancy existing in the office of the President on March 4, 1849, but one edition of the biographical congres­ sional directory credits . Atchison with being “President for a day” ahd that legend still persists. TailIeur for an Easter ByCHERIENICHOLAS 'T'H E calendar announces an car- Iy Easter. Supposmg the weath­er should happen to go tempera­ mental. Just merely supposing it should by any chance happen to cloud a bit, rain a bit, possibly send down a snowflake or so, then, oh then, comes that ever haunting “what-to-wear” question. And the answer? A practical, ul­ tra modish tailored wool cutfit is the logical answer if you want to be ready for rain or shine. Smart­ ly, simply fashioned, it must be of a swanky wool weave in latest ap­ proved color with fashion-right ac­ cessories that add the. final accent of chic. The illustration pictures what we are meaning to say. Per­fect is this trio of “what-to-wears” for Easter or for any spring day, be it sunshiny or cloudy. Before we describe in detail the stunning tailleurs pictured we want to say a word in regard to out­ standing colors for spring. We are going to talk mostly about black, navy, beige, gray and the new pas­ tels. Many best-dressed women are selecting black cloth suits with which they plan to wear frilly lin­ gerie blouse or neckwear, adding white doeskin gloves and a white boutonniere. As to navy, it’s big news for spring, navy wool twills especially for the classic suit. And there’s beige! It, also, is staging a most exciting comeback. In the pastels you’ll adore the new "dusty pinks,” -also various soft blues, “rusty” yellows and misty greens. You will be hearuig the expres­ sion “softly tailored” frequently this season because most suits have lost their mannish lines -and - the trend is to graceful, subtle 'silhou­ ettes. Note, for example, the charm­ ing youthful suit to the right in the picture. No femininity is sacrificed. Smart in either black or navy is the lightweight wool that styles this distinctive spring model. The skirt is short and slim and the cutaway jacket buttons up to a “young” round collar. The short blouse is of white satin. The pillbox hat with jaunty quill and piquant face-veil is decidedly chic.Pastel blue wool kasha makes the three-piece cape costume centered in the group. Capes 'are very im­portant this season, emphasizing as they do the softly tailored theme. A slightly flared skirt is topped by a short-sleeved, front-buttoned jack­ et with body of jacket and sleeves made in one piece, stitched onto a yoke. The matching cape' with fit­ ted shoulders ties at the chin un­ der the jacket collar.It is to be expected that the three-piece tailored ensemble to the left be in the smart widely-exploit­ ed beige color, for as we said be­ fore beige is definitely “in” this spring. With the jacket this very lovely three-piece becomes a smart suit, just such as will fit into the Easter style program admirably. Without the jacket you have a win­ some light wooT dress which will come in perfectly for mild spring, days. The matching beige fur is a smart detail for the fur-trimmed suit is conspicuously present in ad­ vance style displays. Note the off- face hat of Breton influence, for this is the very latest for hat and hairdress. The-black, ,doeskin gloves and strap-handle bag'’“say it” with fashion emphasis. © Western Newspaper Union* SMART PLAID TWEED Br CHEKlE NICHOLAS GLOVES PROMINENT IN SPRING STYLES Plaid woolens for spring! You’ll be “tops” in fashion if you come out in a full-length reefer coat, a picturesque cape suit, a classic jacket suit or with a short box coat of plaid woolen. It’s English, it’s Scotch, it’s both. Due to the inter­ est shown in the coming corona­ tion, woolens take on a decidedly English accent this spring. The coat pictured is of imported tweed with coronation red prominent in its coloring: The white toya hat ha? red grosgrain. inserts in comple­ ment to the red in the plaid. __ ,.By CHERIE NtfpOLAS '7 Soft.voozey glace vKrdskin, that makes the hands look long and slen- der-jvis very much in fashion now/ The styles shown by.Aris for formal' afternoon wear are exceedingly chic and those- maryelous ,16-button:.eve­ ning gloves in glace kid or. suede reach the nth degree of extrava­gance. Mokado, the superlative quality French doeskin, is the supreme., in that leather. It is washable, whichf accounts for its continued popular- - ity. Nothing could be handsomer' than a pair of six or eight button handsewn doeskin gloves. -The longer lengths, by the way, "are smarter this season than the short, either in white, black or fetching new: colors. \ While the plain/ classic slipon re­ mains most acceptable, the cos­ tume glove is more interesting and more fun to wear.5' Then, iiiere are all sorts of touches, such as hand- whipping, embroidery, ' stitching, thong lacing and so on, that give the new gloves distinction. Pendant Earrings Earrings have regained prestige and Since ears are sometimes cov­ ered by the coiffure this means the pendant type will be worn as well as the clip. Simple necklines add to the possibilities of earrings. Silver Threads The current coin of fashion is silver gleaming on crepe or satiny backgrounds. A blouse with the glit­ ter of silver—needn’t be expensive at all—will turn your suit into , a five o’clock costume.

Dean of the Moody Bible Inirtltuteof Chicago* Newspaper 1 Lesson for March 21 JOHN’S PICTURE OF THE . TRIAL AND CRUCIFIXION LESSON" TEXT — SoIlll IS: 4-9. 14-18, 5-30. , :: .'..'I- GOLDEN. TEXT — Hereby perceive we the love of-Goa. -because he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. I John 3:1S.PRIMARIt TOPIC — When Jesus Died for Us.JUNIOR TOPIC — On a HUl'Far Away. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Christ’s Cross and Its Meaning for Me.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Christ’s Cross and Mine. The cross is accepted throughout the world as the emblem of -the Christian church. The death of the Son of God- for the sins of the world is a focal point not only in history but in theology. It is for this reason that we give so much study to the cross and its meaning. Calvary comes between Christmas and Easter. Jesus came as th e Babe of Bethlehem—God incarnate in the flesh. He died for you and me. Death could not hold him. He arose in victory. He is now at the Father’s right hand, an Advocate with the Father. He is coming again. Each statement is an in­ dispensable truth! The assigned text gives only a portion of -the moving account of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus but suffices to bring before us in graphic contrast four pictures— I. Pilate—Convinced but Afraid. Pilate was in a most difficult posi­tion. To turn one way meant to in­ cur the wrath of the Jews, he gov­ erned. To turn the other meant that he would be accused of disloyalty to Rome. He whs convinced that Jesus was innocent, but was afraid to follow his own convictions. Many there are who follow in his steps. They know what they ought to do with Jesus, but fear the com­ ments of friends or loss of earthly advantage, and take their place with Pilate. n. The -Jews—Hostile and Hard­ hearted. The common people heard Jesus gladly. They loved him and would have followed him. But the Jewish leaders, ahd those whom they had misled, hated him with malicious hatred. They are typical of those who in our day have long and repeatedly rejected the claims of the Lord Jesus on their lives. They have hardened their hearts against him until they have become embittered. Paul says, “They received not the love of the truth that they might be saved, and for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” (II Thess. 2:10,11). Let those who have long rejected the Saviour be warned lest they also crucify afresh the Son of God. In. The Disciples—Remembered by the Saviour. The thoughtful tenderness of Jesus in providing for his mother even in his own hour of deep suffering, moves upon our hearts and urges us .to follow his example. This is a hard world; let the followers of Jesus be tender and kind.In thus caring for his mother, Jesus gives thought also to the new responsibility of the disciple “whom he loved.” What a sacred and re­ sponsible trust, but is it not true that we also are called and com­ missioned by him?. IV. Jesus—The Saviour. ; To see the guiltless;: spotless Son Cf God hung on the ’cross ili propitia­ tion for our sins is to-bring us to,.cur knees to cry as did Martin Luther, *?For me.'fof me!” , t a-oy : Majestic in the assurance that he laid down his own life, he walks as a King in the midst of all the con­fusion round, about him. He was f 1. Silent. His enemies made great hue and cry against him. Pilate questioned him again and again. Few were the words he spoke, but '.fraught with more meaning than all the words of men. 2. Strong. All through his life and in his death one is impressed by his strength. All too often sacred art, drawing on its imagination, presents our Lord as an effeminate weakling. No; he was and is glor­ iously strong. 3. Sympathetic. We have already dwelt on his tender love for his mother. Gentleness is always an ■attribute of strength, not of weak­ ness. :4. The Savioin:. When he cried .‘i t is finished.” he did so in no weak submission -to an inevitable death. No; he had wrought out re­ demption, a complete and finished redemption for you and for me. Now Is tbe Time . To be always intending to lead a new life but never to find time to set about it, this is as if a man should put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day and night to another, till he is starved and de­ stroyed.—Tillotson. Delight in Beauty The very first discovery of beauty strikes the mind with an inward joy, and spreads a cheerfulness and delight through all its faculties.—Ad- dison.

Can’t you see from where you’re sitting that it is simple to sew besides being a fig- ure-flatterer of the first order?

Sounds fun nv to hear folks who voted for Roosevelt running around howling that thev don’t want any liquor stores in Davie county. Don’t know what kind of weather we are going to have now, but one thing is certain, we can’t blame the groundhog, for his time has ex­ pired. The Charlotte Observer and the Winston Salem Iournal seem to be taking a lot of space these days in throwing banquets at each other. Keminds us of Bob Revnolds and Josigh Bailev. Thev never agree on any question. - Senator Josigh Baileyhas got bunch of New Dealers in North Carolina mad with him'because he doesn’t swallow Mr. Roosevelt’s plan to junk-the United States Supreme Court. Josigh is generally wrong, but for once he is everlast­ ingly right. ______ -WANTED;—Some kind of a job for Jiai Farlev. big wet Catholic and head of the New Deal partv Jim says he wants a job, and intimates that the work must be ligbt and the salary heavy.

As we remarked in these columns last week, it would he a good idea for some progressive citizen or citi­ zens to build a few new houses for rent in this town. Many Cooleemee people nave, moved to Mocksville on. aiccount of scarcity of housesin that town. So far as we know, there is not a vacant dweliing house in town that is tenable. The town cannot grow unless there are more houses in which to take care of our growing population. The Record is in receipt of a letter from a big advertising agency sav­ ing they have their eyes on North Carolina, and as soon as the conn tjes put in liquor stores they will be r^ady. to give us some attractive liquor, beer and wine advertise m|nts. Sorry, but The Record dueisn’t carry such advertising in its cdljnmus;:"' Al Mocksyille business tn^ti tpjd us.'.the reason he wouldn’t advertise .with us was that.we'would nojlicarr^b^iandwine ads.” Sorry t.oj&se theibusiness, but we have' too^many cjhildren and voung people reading our^aper. .

Not Much Cotton. E. P. Foster, of the firm of Foster & Green, cotton buyers and ginners, of Mocksville, tails us that bis company ginned 939 bales less cotton of the 1936 crop, than they ginned of the 1935 crop. This would indicate that the last -year cotton crop in Davie was just a bout half the amount grown in 1935. The price of cotton in the fall of 1935 was around 12 cents per.pound, and Iatt fall it was a round i$lA cents. According to these figures the cotton farmers in Davie got but little more than, bait as much cash for their 1936 crop as thev did for the 1935 crop We are all hoping that the farmeis will have a better crop year in 1937 tbao thev bad in 1936. Use Them For Playing Ball. While rambling around over the county this news writer sometimes sees and hears funny things. A few days ago we were out in the rural sections, and a Iadv told us that a colored family, living near­ by, were in need of food, and that one of the Federal Welfare work­ ers had brought this family a sup­ ply of grapefruit. The lady said s’ie asked the colored woman what they did with the grapefruit. She said the children used them to play ball. The lady told the color­ ed 'woman she would buy them, and we understand that the ball- plaving stopped. Hungry folks generally want bread and meat in­ stead of appetizers. Rev. H. T. Penry.

He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted* self-sacrificing and anderstanding soul, welcomes her. Kerias sis­ter, Margery* plump and matronly with the cafe of three children* Is at lunch with them. Hugh's wife, Dorrie* has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his job at the steel plant founded by one of bis fore­bears. Hugh passes - Doc Hiller* a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be­cause of Dorriets antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning-from a dream about her late husband* Jimt whose unstable char­acter she feats Kezia has inherited. Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined girl who is a distant niece of Flu­vanna's and a favorite of Hugh's. She hap­pily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father and mother, Garin and Lizzie, will not ap­prove the match Hugh.,and Dorrie go out to the Freeland Farms to dance with their friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who has been out of work* announces^ that be has a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance to­gether and then disappear for a while. Danc­ing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in tears. Apparently she has some secret worry aver her husband. Cun. When Ellen and Jerry apeak about their engagement to Ellen’s par­ents* Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym­pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat­ter * is left pending. Unexpectedly Hugh has to visit a neighboring city on business. Return­ing home to ask Dorrie to accompany him he finds her telephoning. In confusion she quick­ly hpngs up without saying good-by. After hesitating about Hugh's invitation* she finally agrees to accompany turn. CHAPTER IV—Continued 9 ■“I am glad I had to go to Con­ gress City.” He waited. “Not pin­ing to have me go to New York? Got over it?” “It’s ail right. If you couldn’t— you couldn’t, I suppose,” she an­ swered. “Sweet here, isn’t it? Too bad we have to leave. I could loaf here all afternoon.”“And yet at first you said you couldn't go. When I came in”—his brows puzzled. “By the way, who were you phoning to when I came in? You hung up without saying good-by.” Her body stiffened against his ever so slightly. A subterraneous tiny pain moved in Hugh. “None of my business of course!” he said with an apologetic laugh. “Shouldn’t have asked you. Ex­ cuse me.” He sprang to his feet. “You would ask that!” “I’m not checking your phone calls, my dear. It was just an Idle question. . . . I didn’t think how it sounded when I spoke.” She traced the rock with her fin­ger. In a moment she said: “Any­ one who is having a birthday, in a few days shouldn’t be too inquisi­ tive.”“Next month—August.” “Well, even then?” she parried good-humoredly. The pain vanished. He looked at his watch. “One- thirty.” , “Time to go?” “Afraid so.” Ellen switched on her light and looked at the clock on the mantel. A quarter to four and she hadn’t been able to go to sleep! Two hours and a half of this tossing about. She poked at the pillow to soften It. Wliat were some of the things which made you go to sleep? Count­ ing? Squeezing your eyeballs and then watching the funny Ughts that Came under your shut lids? Scenes from the evening over at Marshes’ kept intruding.. “Hello, EUen I Hello, Jerry!” Kezia had smiled enchantingly up at Jerry. "You’re ever so nice, aren’t you? Almost up to Ellen’s description!” She had helped Ellen with her coat and. whispered, just loud enough lor Jerry'to hear, “He’s precious. You’re in gorgeous luck, Ellen.” Kezia’s hair had been in soft curls all ,over her head, an effect which looked natural, yet had tak­ en time to achieve. She wore a long white organdy dress, with a huge scarlet chiffon handkerchief drawn through a bracelet. “Just two tables of bridge—you know Art? And that’s Hugh over there . . . Hugh, put up the card tables like a love!” she said. Mar­ gery and WiU Platt, and. Mrs. Marsh — Dprrie — beside the man­ tel.” .And Dorrie had been very cor­ dial, had said to Jerry: “Welcome to the family!" Her. voice had a rich moving animation sometimes. “We look like the home guard drawn up to receive you, but we’re reaUy not so formidable.” Hugh had been fine—always was. "I wondered why you were so dis­ turbingly pretty this spring, EUen . . . so this is the reason!” WUl Platt had told her of the pictures he had. seen in the Roerich GaUeiy recently . . . poetry and symbolic mystery, he called them. That was while Kezia was out fixing the lunch. She had come in and called —not . Art WiUiams-but Jeriy- to come out and help herewith the ice* cubes. They were gone a long time, and came in laughing . -.-. But the thing which kept her ■wake-was trivial—even ridiculous. AU evening long, no look from Jer­ ry, no quick - little glance of re­ assurance that said: “HeUo, dear . . . aU 'Yight?’’ So absorbed m being agreeable to Dorrie, to Mar­ gery, to Kezia, that she might have been anyone—just someone whom he bad metjfor- the first time and •vat not' Ioteresved ini . . . Of course she didn’t want him to act dithering in her presence—give her burning glances. She Uked him to be reserved. 'StiU, if only once his eyes had flickered in her direction with trust and miituaUty, made her aware that -he remembered . . .She clasped the palms of her hands together. “You know, God,” she said soundlessly, “that I don't bother You very often, but I do be­ lieve in You. *For I prayed to go to art school . . ,, Mother was so against it. Suddenly she gave in— gave in aU at once for no reason at aU! . . . So You must have done it. . . . And this time it is about Jerry . . . I love him so terribly that I don’t believe I can go on living if I don’t get him. I don’t have to teU You—You understand. Please don’t let him stop loving me —ever . . . Thank You. Amen.” Three hours before this Kezia switched out the Ught in her room with the gold and green chintz draperies, snuggled down in her pil- low. The night wind rustled the oaks, stole in with the fragrance of honeysuckle; the window was a framed oblong of sUvei from the moon; the clock downstairs tinkled the half hour. Kezia was very sleepy, very contented with her­ self. . The power she haa over men was tremendous—simply tremendous. It was aU quite easy, -just as Lolly had said. It worked every time. You.made your eyes soft and in­ nocent, got your face'very close to theirs, spoke low, and said “You” a great many times . . . It had worked with Walter DeGraffe1 with Arthur, with Pete Matthews—Pete was almost engaged to that Pease girl, too—with Eric Olsen, with Jer­ ry Purdue tonight. Ellen didn’t need to think she had that boy on a hook! . . . When he was getting out the ice cubes, hr had turned his eyes on her—he had keen eyes, dark brown with a sort of droop to them—and said, 'Tm Not Checking Xour Phona Calls, My Dear.” “Don’t stand - so close; I might splash that dress. Mind if I say you look charming tonight?” She hadn’t moved from his side but answered in a half whisper, “You’re sort of .unusual yourself— you fascinate me.” He had laughed and replied, “I’m not really so­ phisticated, you know!” . . . He had understood.' It was encugh for a start. He’d be calling her up soon, she assured herself. Like the othets. She might have a little fun with Jerry— show Ellen—then hand him back to her . . . C H A P T E R V The telephone jangled constantly for Kezia. Young people came and went with chatter and laughter, the radio played at all hours and meals frequently were delayed, for Kezia was always hurrying from one en­ gagement to another. The constant clamor began to pall on Fluvanna, and her usual serenity was now oc­ casionally disturbed. It was a little hard to become ad­justed to the furore of excitement after the quiet winter. Fluvanna assured herself that it was good for her—good to have a gay young person in the house. Kezia must have this youthful time of pleas­ ure. This springtime of her life was so fugitive; its memories threaded the pattern of life with shining strands for the years to come. For the past week, Margery had been having illness in her family and had sent the boys over to stay with her each day. Michael and Will were a strenuous pair, aged three and five, who came at nine each morning, and departed with tears and grubby embraces at five when Will Platt came to taks them home. She had been strangely Iam guid each night, too tired to glance at a paper or a book. She stood near the window after lunch, glancing over some mail she had received. The telephone rang. It was Margery.“Mother, can you take the chii dren out in the car this afternoon? Millie Jennings is here visiting, and I haven’t seen her for ages., I haven’t been out of the house since Baby took sick ten days, ago,” Hei voice had a plaintive note. • (TO BE CONTINUED) Jack Holt * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I STAR I { > DUST jL| * M orie * Ra(Iio * * * * B j V IR G aM IA V A L I * * * O V E R a t th e P a ra m o u n t stu ­ dio you a re ju st a w allflow ­ e r if you don’t know y o u r A m erican h isto ry .

To the great success of “The Plainsman” goes the credit—or the blame—for all this pride in the past. The company is so enthusiastic over that picture, and the forthcoming “Maid of Salem” that they are delv­ ing into history for their next big production, “I, James Lewis,” the story of the early days of the Wells- Fargo express. —•*— Actors are apt to be a pretty gloomy and pessimistic lot when you know them well. They are al­ ways worrying be­ cause the career of an actor is apt to be short, always point­ ing out men in the extra ranks who on­ ly a few years ago were stars. Now they have suddenly discovered th at their worries were imaginary. Jack Holt, after twenty- four years in pic­ tures, just sighed a new contract with Columbia to make six Westerns a year. He is as popular as ever, maybe more so. For weeks Clark liable has been completely mystified by receiving high offers for the decrepit old Ford Carole Lombard sent him as a val­ entine last year. Now the truth is out. A Mr. Brown of Richmond, Virginia, wants to bny it to exhibit at ^County Fairs. But Clark won’t self unless Carole gives him per­ mission. —f - Instead of raving- about Henry Fonda and Sylvia Sidney in the grip­ping tragic “You Only Live Once,” Hollywoodians come out of the thea­ter making up silly couplets. That is what the company gets for dis­ pensing with grammar in the title. One of Henry’s best friends said, “ ‘You Live Only Once’ may be bet­ ter grammar, but ‘You Only Live Once’ is elegant drammer.” Anoth­er one, playing with the same idea, said, “ ‘You Live Only Once’ may be more grammatical, but 'You On­ ly Live Once’ is very dramatical,” —-K- Susan Fleming thought that she had retired from the screen when she married Harpo Marx, but she made the mistake of stopping in at the stiidio to have luncheon with her husband, and first thing she knew the director .called out, “That girl over there—she’s just what I’ve been looking for.” So, she is play­ing in “A Day at the Races” with her husband and his giddy brothers. Ginger Rogers is not only the most popular girl in Hollrivood these days;. she is the most sur­ prising. Night after night she is out dancing with one of her many beaux—Jimmy Stewart, or .Cary Grant, or the visiting socialite, Al­fred Vanderbilt—-but all that gayety hasn’t stopped her from breaking into a new career. She has written a song called “I Can’t Understand.” Maybe you heard Fred Astaire in­ troduce it over the air recently. That is team work for you. Myrna Loy isn’t complaining, but she does think wistfully nowadays of W. S. Van Dyke, and the way he can direct a marvelous picture like “The Thin Man” or its se­ quel in eighteen or twenty days. Slie has been working in "Parnell” for three months and the end isn’t anywhere in sight. John Stahl, who directed “The Magnificent Obses­ sion” and', many other thrilling pic­ tures, is . very deliberate about his work, and in making “Parnell” he is just as apt to hare Myma and ClarkG abledoscenesover and over as lie is to repeat the scenes of minor players.

Two years’ usage there proved its unusual economy. Wlien the “60” came to this country this year, the Ford M otor Company made no mileage claim s— waited for facts, w ritten on A m erican roads by American drivers. V Now Ford “60” owners are reporting averages of 22 to 27 miles on a gallon of gasoline. That makes it the most economical Ford c a r ever built! Best of all, the Ford “ 60” is just as big and room y— just as handsom e, sturdy and safe— as the famous 85- horsepower Ford V- 8 . And it sells at the lowest Ford price in years. If you want a big car for a small budget—a car you can drive with pride and profit-—see the thrifty “60” soon!

Fijom looks of things right now, the weekly newspapers which choose to do so, will grow fat and wax rich from carrying alcoholic advertising of one kind and another—likker ad­ vertising is the proper name for i<! whether it be "Kentucky Corn” or Blank Beer. Neither of. these things—beer or whiskey—are essential to any one's well being, and believing that adver- tising in The Times does help create a market, we. shall continue to re­ fuse beer, wbiskey, or any other like advertising. We have no quarrel with the news paper that carries beer and whiskey advertising. We have no quarrel with the fellow who drinks the two concoctions. It is-a free country.

It will continue as the spokesman for those of the employees who prefer that method of collective bargaining, which has proved so mutually satisfactory throughout its existence.” The General Electric company de­ clared its willingness to discuss a national collective bargaining agreement with the United Electric­ al Workers, a C. I. 0. affiliate; and the indications were that Lewis and the Appalachian coal operators would be able to negotiate a new wage and hour agreement in time to avert a coal miners’ strike. The C. I. O. announced the forma­ tion of the United Shoe Workers of America with a nucleus of 20,000 . members and went after. New Eng­ land’s shoe industry. Still more im­ portant, Lewis - and his aids let -it beifenpwn thatthenext target of the . drive would be the textile "i^duStfy. 31 Secretary of Commerce Roper and Secretary of Labor Perkins ex­ pressed much gratification over re­ cent developments. That the public, as usual, will have to pay for what the worker gains in allthese negotiations was evidenced by the action of the steel companies which announced price increases of $3 to $8 a ton for semi­ finished and finished steel products. The sit-down strike policy was .. tried at Sarnia, Ont11 and promptly " .. was given black eye. Fifty em­ ployees of the Holmes foundry there took possession of the plant, but dOOr nonstriking workers battled them for two hours, threw them all out and sent nine to the hospital. The police did not interfere with the fight. Shortly after negotiations opened between the Chrysler motor corporation and the United Auto­ mobile Workers of America, th e .- union presented resignations of 103 of the 120 employee representatives . on work councils in Chrysler plants " in the-Detroit area. The resignations all said “the great majority of our constituents are heartily in favor of the U. A. W. A. as the sole bargain­ ing agency to represent them.” Sit-down strikers in the plant of * : the Fansteel Metallurgical corpora- •••- tion at North Chicago, 111.,’who de­ fied court eviction orders, were routed by a force of deputies and police armed with tear gas guns, and -1 were arrested for .-ontempt of court.Also taken into custody was the .Vf strike leader.

Among the many strikes in the. Detroit district was one of 150 em-' ployees, mostly girls, of the largest Woolworth store in Detroit- They . planned to extend the strike to all other units of the company there, meanwhile keeping the big store closed by the sit-down method. D USINESS men and economists again were talking about the prospects of inflation after the .de­ cision of the: Supreme court ,uphold-, ing the New Deal’s gold clause abro­ gation aid for the second time. The ruling was made in the case of the Holycke Water company, which, ... moved by a desire to protect it­ self against loss in the event that the doUar should be debased, had written into leases to the American ?!' Writing Paper company clauses giv­ ing it the privilege of demanding from the latter payment in gold coin or bar gold. Now the Holyoke com­ pany must be content to accept pay­ ment in present depreciated doUars. The court’s decision was regarded as removing the last barrier to the free exercise of authority over mone­ tary matters by the . administra­tion. /rV UESTS at "victory dinners” all over the country heard Presi­ dent Roosevelt deliver at the feast in Washington a preliminary appeal to his party and the nation to sup­port his plan to pack the Supreme court. He said that a crisis exists demanding immediate social and economic legislation to improve the lot.of the common man and that there is no time to lose, lest a great calamity, such as a revolution or the advent of a dictatorship, be vis­ ited upon-the country in the two or three years that might be necessary to remove the obstruction of the New Deal in the manner prescribed by existing law.IncidentaHy, Mr. Roosevelt let his hearers understand that Jie has no intention of seeking,a third term in the White House.

And the act WiH not applyj.to an Ameri­ can republic, such as a South Amer­ ican country, engaged in war against a non-American country provided that the American republic is not co-operating with a non-Amer­ ican state in such a war.

The Berlin press raged against La Guar? dia, one of the mildest names ap­ plied to him being “scoundrel super- Jew.” A FTER a lively debate the house of commons indorsed Great Britain’s huge rearmament pro­ gram by a vote of 243 to 134. For­ eign Secretary Anthony Eden, who ouilinbd the principles of the Brit­ ish foreign policy, repudiated the policy of universal military com­ mitments for Europe - as -'1Iinwork-1 able” with Germany and other powers absent from the Ueagiie of Nations. Next day the navy announced that its .share of the rearmament pro­ gram tyould cost $525,325,000, this including the construction of SO war­ ships. Sir Samuel Hoare, first lord of the admiralty, said only $135,- 000,000 of the costwiU be borne by Britain's new $2,000,000,000 defense loan, forcing the nation’s tax payers to dip,into their pockets-for: the ad­ ditional $390,325,000. thinksabout: £ Irvin S.

National Topics Interpreted. ^ j f 3 l S t e !ByWILLIAM B R U C K A R T ^ M ^ ^ ; Washington.—Many times in these columns, I have called attention to mg the confusion that m ore has come to be so Confusion much a part ofthe federal gov­ ernment’s general administration. I have talked about the bluster and the baUyhoo and the cross-purposes at which so many pieces of ihe New Deal program have operated, and another outstanding example of this condition now appears. Two governmental agencies, one a strictly New Deal agency, the other with a beginning in the Hoover administration, find themselves working directly in opposition to each other—and in the end taxpay­ers will pay. It is not the fault of the Home Owners Loan corporation that it finds itself in a position where it is going to be landlord to something like 160,000 pieces of real estate— largely homes. When the government went into the business of loaning money on private residence it had experience upon which to base its program. Many years ago the farm loan sys­ tem was organized with none too happy results. In the late days of the Hoover administration, howev­ er, three or four politicians were able to drive through the legislation creating a system of government loans on residences as distinguished from farms. I predicted in these columns some three years ago that the govern­ ment, through the HOLC, was going to be the proud possessor of a lot of real estate. My statements at that time were based upon what I had seen happen in the case of the loans on farms. The article brought me direct criticism from two or three places-in the government—but at this time I can report that the HOLC, before another year passes, will own something like 160,000 homes. ' .It is always difficult for a mort­ gage or bank institution, privately owned, to dispose of property which it has - been forced to repossess through default of the borrowers. It is much more difficult for the fed­ eral government to dispose of that type of. property, try as it may to get rid of the parcels. So, we find one governmental agency serving- as. a landlord on a wholesale scale and with sighs por­ tending moves by politicians that will in the end cost the taxpayers hundreds of miHions of doUars. These politicians are proposing leg­ islation in congress to cut the in­ terest rate on the loans now in default and other1 loans as weU; the principal of the loans on the defaulted mortgages and they are seeking means by which , those in default may have unlimited time in which to make the-payments -in 'a way that, superficiaUy at least, makes the proposals appear adtu- ally as an outright gift to those who have bought homes under the government loan plan. There is no way to tell now what will happen to these various pro­ posals. Undoubtedly, most of them will fall by the wayside and re­ ceive no consideration in congress. Yet, on the basis of observation of many such .movements, it does not seem far wrong to guess that the politicians in congress will accom- pUsh something in the way of re­ duction of these debts where the defaulters bring pressure, to -bear on the home town poUtical ma­ chines.* * * Now, concerning the other govern­ mental agency involved in the game of cross purposes Cross that I mentioned. Purposes I refer to the fed­eral housing ad­ ministration. Like the Home Own­ ers Loan corporation, it is not the fault of the housing administration that it finds itself in a. tough spot. It is commanded by the President and by congress to proceed with a gigantic- housing program, to loan money on new homes wherever it can persuade contractors to build and individuals to buy. Itisto be remembered also that loans on these properties- are guaranteed— ihe legislation calls them insured loans—and that makes the federal housing administration Uable in case the new home buyers fail to meet their commitments. The housing administration anr nounced its program to encourage wholesale home building throughout the nation only recently and it was by coincidence, I am. sure,_that the housing program was announced al­ most simultaneously with the deter­ mination by the HOLC to start fore­ closure proceedings in order to maintain’ its own solvency. Thus, to bring the picture to a focus, we find one governmental agency that has loaned hundreds of millions of doUars on residences be­ ing forced to foreclose: in .order to protect the money'it has spent,-at least in part,-and a second govern­ mental agency entering , the field si­ multaneously with a gigantic pro? gram in which more hundreds of miHions wiU be expended and more people encouraged to place them­ selves in debt; •I cannot criticize the housing ad­ ministration poUcy any more than I can criticize the program of the HOLC. The point is that there is simply no co-ordination in govern­ment poUcies as they concern these two agencies, and consequently, one group is buUding hew homes and an­other is taking over old homes for which the buyers have been unable to pay. In my humble opinion, .it' does not make good sense; I have heard considerable talk among influential New Dealers to the effect that new homes will seU more easily than the. old ones and therefore the housing administration plans are held to.be justified. Yet, it does seem to be a perfectly nat­ ural and logical thing that new homes become old homes as time elapses and there are many who believe that the government,' be­ cause it .has guaranteed the loans on new homes, will have to take over a large percentage of them as weU. That is, it wiU have to take over at least a normal percentage because-whether the loans are made by private financing companies or by the government, a considerable number of buyers are unable to ful­ fill their obligations. It is not al­ ways the fault of the buyers. Sick­ness, loss of jobs or a thousand and one other circumstances may de­ velop that prevents the buyer of a home from carrying through his cherished dream of own the roof over his head. Itisthew ayoflife that a certain percentage wffl, and of necessity must, faH by the way­ side.• • • I never have been able to agree that the federal government has any business in the Wrong fie]d 0f financing Prineiple homes or extend­ing credit to indi­ viduals. I have always criticized the Hoover administration for cre­ ating the Reconstruction Finance corporation and the Roosevelt ad­ ministration for expanding its oper­ ations. The principle is wrong be­ cause it uses money either borrowed by the government or paid into the Treasury by the taxpayers to fi­ nance, to builifup, personal funds of individuals or corporations. It seems quite clear to me that the HOLC, foUowing the experiences of the farm loan system, justifies the conclusion that the federal gov­ ernment cannot successfuUy engage in that field. .In the first instance, I think it is bad business for gov­ ernment to go beyond the protection of life, liberty and property, with 'aU the implications carried in those three words as a governmental pol­ icy. Further, and with much more emphasis, I am sure that any time government engages in .that field it opens the way for poHticians to be tempted, to be forced, to do things in a legislative way that cannot be justified as economically sound. EarUer in this article, I suggested the difficulty ! always surrounding- the sale of property that has been taken , back Ironr1Uie original pur­ chasers. ,'Officials of private mort­ gage companies and other financial institutions have grown many a., gray hair In their efforts to recover money loaned in cases where the borrowers have met with unfortu­ nate circumstances. The govern­ ment, finding itself in the. position of the private lender insofar as re­ possession of property is concerned, has about one-half the chance of liquidation that the private lender would have. And beyond that, there is too much chance for favoritism, scheming and even crookedness when the government attempts to do a job like .the HOLC now is fac­ ing. I say that regardless of the honest purpose that I know char­ acterizes the present HOLC man­agement.* • • It may not have occurred to some but the fact that the federal govern- _ ment through the I/. S. o HOLC wiU own aU Taxpayer of these houseswhich had . to be taken back; means, that the federal government becomes a taxpayer in every city, county and state where it owns tiiese homes. At the rate things are going and assuming that the ratio of.-.delinqueneies and de­ faults continue as they do for pri­ vate lending agencies, another four, years will see the HOLC in posses­ sion of a. minimum of 250,000 par­ cels of real .estate. Of course, I imagine, the local tax poUectors WiU be glad to see the federal govern­ ment taking over the property be­ cause they wiU then collect their takes. But where does that money come. from?' !Sooner or later, di­ rectly or indirectly, it comes from the taxpayers of the nation. It is not a pleasant outlook. And who knows but what there may . be more decisions like that of the Florida ,judge who refused to grant the - foreclosure plea of’ the HOLC .attorneys on. a twelve hun­ dred doUar’mortgage on the home of a Car-enter.C Western Newso::cr>r Ur Joa» I H o w M a n y P en n ies Y our C hild’s Itta I Don’t Try to "Save?’ on Bome Remedies—Ask Your Doctor There is one point, on which prac­ tically aU doctors agree. ,That is:.

Francis Hopkinson, born in 1737, was the first scholar entered at the Universify of Pennsylvania (then the College of Philadelphia) and was graduated from its first class. He held several positions of im­ portance in Penn’s colony, then moved to New Jersey.- There he was a member of the provincial council until he was elected to the Continental congress from New Jer­sey and thus became one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde­ pendence. But other facts make him more notable than -almost any of the other 55 signers of that docu­ ment. He wrote an allegory in which he recounted the wrongs of the colo­ nies and did much to fan the Spirit of revolution. He wrote the famous song “The Battle of the Kegs” satirizing the British scare over an attempt to blow up their ships with a crudc submarine invented by a certain David Bushnell, and this song became the favorite of Wash­ ington's soldiers. But most important is the fact that, evidence ejasts which shows that he was the designer of the first Stars and Stripes as our national flag (the Betsy Ross tradition to the contrary notwithstanding) and that he had a hand in designing the first Great Seal of this nation.His son, Joseph Hopkinson, born in 1770, followed closely in his fa­ ther’s footsteps. He also was grad­ uated from the University of Penn­ sylvania, studied law and held sev­ eral positions in the state and fed­ eral government. He helped found the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, served as its president for many years and was vice-president of the American Philosophical soci­ ety which his father had helped found. But he is best remembered for a song which he wrote—thus emulat­ ing his father again. It was “Hail Columbia” which was the only na­ tional song of this republic until Francis Scott Key wrote “The Star Spangled Banner." First “America’s Sweetheart” T ONG before a popular movie ac- tress was given the title of “America’s Sweetheart” there was another. Ask any man of fifty years or upwards and he will tell you her name. It was Annie Oakley. She was bom in' a log cabin in Darke county, Ohio, in 1866 and her full name was Phoebe Anne Oakley Mozee. Her father'died when she was six and one of the few posses­ sions which he left'was a Kentucky long rifle. Little Anne, who was something of a tomboy, soon began using this weapon to help fill the family larder with quail, squirrels and rabbits. She became an un^ usual markswoman and the fame •of her skill spread to Cincinnati where hotel keepers had been buy- irr' the game which she killed." ' When she was fifteen a noted sharpshooter named Frank E. But; Ier came to Cincinnati. He was ac­ customed to issue a' challenge to all comers in a shooting match. This challenge was taken up by one of Anne’s- • hotel-keeping patrons . who urged her-to shoot against Butler. The girl-not.only won Sie match, but rshe won Butler’s heart as well and a year or so later they were mar­ ried.’ She began taking part in her husband’s shooting act and, being a skilled showman, he pushed her more-and more into the limelight and kept himself more and more in the background. - Then. “Buffalo Bill” Cody or­ ganized iiis Wild West show and in 1885 the “Butler and Oakley” act joined it. But it wasn’t long until the second half of the act was the whole act and as Annie Oaldey she started on the career which made her the idol of. Voung America/ “Little Suri Shot” site, was named by the famous chief;: Sitting Bull, when he wait out with Buffalo Bill’s show and as “Little Sure Shot” she became famous, not only through­ out America but all over Kurope as well. ■.''I:.. When Cody-took his. show abroad her marksmanship thrilled every­ one who saw it—and that included, dukes, princes and kjngsr " One of her stunts was to use play­ ing cards as targets and these cards, punctured by her bullets, be­ came treasured souvenirs. In those days showmen who handed out free passes always punched a hole or two in them, thus saving a mis­ count when the day’s proceeds were counted. Oace a baseball magnate looked at a card which had been so thoroughly perforated ithat little jWas left. “Huhl Looks like Annie 1OakleytS -shot at .it!” he grunted. And from that day free passes be­came “Annie Oakleys.” . The name of this/, remarkable woman whose career " came to an end iii 1926 is thus perpetuated-in our “slanguage.” But in the hearts of thousands • of Americans today, the boys of yesteryear, it is en­ shrined as*‘America’s Sweetheart’* THE DAVIE RECORD.

Rev. 1:17.18.,PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Uving Lord. 1 . JUNIOR TOPIC — Eating Breakfast Wltti Jesus.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Who Saw Jesus After His Resurrection?YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Christ's Resurrection a Glorious Fact. “The best: authenticated fact in all history”—that is what competent historians have called the resur­ rection of Christ. One of America’s greatest legal authorities used it as an illustration of how properly to prove a .fact in court. If anyone comes to this lesson with doubts about the Oodily resurrection of our Lord, let him give himself to a study of the evidence. He will find it over­ whelmingly satisfying and complete. That is as it should be, for the resurrection is vital to the com­ pleteness of man’s redemption. Had Jesus diad and remained in the grave, Us claims would have been nullified; we should indeed have been “of all men most miserable” (I Cor. 15:19). But Paul goes on in triumphant faith, “Now is Christ risen from the dead.” We have a resurrection faith, a living Saviour. ...Our ksson bring3 before us our Lord in his post-resurrection ap­ pearance to his disciples, and a subsequent conversation with Peter. These verses fittingly tie up the resurre<tion of Christ with.the life and service of his followers. Those who serve the risen Christ have an inward peace and an outward. au­ thority and power, Their convictions are based on the best' of evidence, and cany them forward to- a life of personal responsibility and service. . I. Peace (20:19-21). Peace of Soul is absolutely es­sential tp useful and satisfied living. Only as we are “steadfast, immov­ able," can we be “abounding in the work of the Lord” (I Cor. 15:53). Steady at the center, active at the circumference. II. Authority (w. 21-23) .. Commissioned and sent by the Son of God, clothed with Holy Spirit Jiuwer,. the Church of God has his authority. While some have read too much into verse 23, others have read out of it the real authority that God has given. " HI. Conviction' (vv. -24^29) Thomas, made the serious error of being'absent frdm the gathering of the disciples when the Lord.Jesus, stood in their midst. Let those' who' commonly absent themselves from the place tnd hour of worship take heed lest they miss a blessing, and coming . latel' add nothing to the spiritual life cf the church; but rath­ er become troublers and doubters. ...But God: graciously turns the doubt of Thomas into a means of blessing' to all..Cf us who since.:thsn have reaid:'of as was an honest doubter. God -is- always ready to' meet ’ such with satisfactory proof.- -Thev trouble is; that there are so many in the world who-use professed doubts to cover a life, .of sin. .J4 Doubt' may. come to any Iriani In' itself’it is no sin. But to cherish it and hold to it in unbelief—that is a different-matter. One wise spi­ritual leader rightly counselled his. people, “Jfefieve your beliefs ari-1 doubt your doubts. Never make the mistake of doubting your beliefs or believing your doubts.” When Thomas saw the- Lord, doubt rapidly changed to strong per­sonal conviction and abandonment of himself to his Lord and .Saviour; ‘ IV. Responsibility (21:20-24) - This incident took place at a later appearance of Jesus to a- smaller group of the disciples. The irre­ pressible Peter has, as usual,' a question to ask, “What shall thifi man do?” It is a right thing to bn concerned about the welfare of .othv ers, to see to it that they live right and do right, But there is in our relationship to God a primary per* sonal responsibility, our own lives, The writer -of the Song of Solomon (1:6) spoke a profound and deep* cutting, word when he said, “They made me keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard have I not. kept.” Perhaps Jesus is saying to' me, or to you, the solemn' words that he spoke to Peter, “What is that to thee? follow thou me.” Personal responsibility , should be one of the most resultful factors in the making of manhood, as in the finding of salvation.

' It is said that there will be a mu­ nicipal election in Mocksviile this spring and that two tickets will be in the field. We suppose one ticket will be composed of New Dealers and the-otber will be composed of democrats. The fellow who said a few weeks ago that the groundhog had been drowned; must have been mistaken from the brand of weather that was experienced around these parts last week. Here’s hoping that the worst is over. It is over a vear until the next primanv but some of the bovs are . alreadv talking about who will be in the race for the various county offices a year hence Someof rhein believe in making bay while ■ the sun shines Might be a good idea. Some of the folks are saving that a liquor store in Mocksville would reduce bootlegging and drunken ness. Scarcity of an article brings the price so high that the poor man cannot buy, so, in our opinion the less liquor there is the less drunks there will be. Judge Felix Alley and Solicitor . John R Jones deserve much praise for the manner tn which they dis posed ot such a heavy court docket in less than three days last week. This good work on the part of these gentlemen saved the county many dollars. This was Judge Alley’s first time to preside over the Davie court, and he was highly compli mented for the manner in which he conducted the court. Solicitor Jones says that Davie is improving so far as crime is concerned, and that our county is in excellent shape. Mrs. Jones, Republican National Com mitteewoman, and wife of the gen ial solicitor, accompanied her hus­ band to Mocksviile and spent three days here. We were glad to have these good people in our town, and hope that Judge Alley and Mr. and Mrs. Jones ^will visit us often. P. 0. S. of A. News.

Babies, unliko running fits, does not come on suddenly, but rather gradually develops'over a period'of a week or ten days of abnormal actions which finally evolve Into either- the furious or dumb' form of the disease, (advises a writer In the Los Angeles Times. Rabies sets In with a variety of peculiar manifestations, In brief, those expressive of anxiety mingled with fear. The dog appears In a troubled state of mind and usually appeals for sympathy. He Is prone to become , more affectionate and to excessively l&P the hands of his attendants. He wants more petting to appease his dis­ tress. Restlessness is a marked early symptom as Is also the fact that he . is easily startled. He continually paces about, except for an occasional pause. Refusing food, he shows a marked de­ praved appetite for Inedible substances such as sticks and stones, or be may -cliew his bedding. It Is often noted that a rabid dog will continually lap woodwork about the house, such as floors and furnl- ..ture. rHilrst Is decidedly increased, ; but the dog does not swallow very much of the water; Tills is because he cannot swallow as his throat is becom­ ing paralyzed, a condition which will shortly be followed by paralysis of the jaw, cruising it- to drop and the mouth to remain open.

V “Never Forget a Face” The fellow who smirks as he says, “You know, I never forget a face,"I* self-deluded How can he know that be never forgets a facet He remem­ bers those he remembers hot that does not prove he forgets none. HIs delusion ‘that he has a perfect memory for faces can be explained In part .as the consequence of Bni Imper feet memory. He sees facesthatftobk vaguely familiar. He has met those people but he doesn’t know where. -He doesn’t remember who they , aret how they earn their livings, what happened When be niet them. Because he has forgotten almost everything except th» faces he concludes he has an Infalli­ ble memory for faces. A little, candid Introspection would tench him that what he has. Instead, is a well-devel- oped capacity for forgetting, says the Chicago Tribune He remembers peo­ ple's, faces a little better than he re members other, and possibly more Im portant. things about thrin. . His delusion Is nourished by the fact that every so often he meets peo pie whom he remembers but who have forgotten him. The probable explana­ tion of tills phenomenon Is not flatter­ ing. It means only that other people’s faces and characters are more mem­ orable than his. They have a quality which makes them hard to forget. Ills face is the kind which Is difficult to remember. BodyiDiet by Organi The human body dies, not quite by nches, but at least by organs, ac­ cording to a heart specialist. The lirst organ to die after the heart stops pumping blood around the body is :he brain. This happens In from eight to ten minutes, so that stoppage of Mie heart for about that long kills ■he brain and makes the victim a eom- •ileire or partial idiot, even if the ipnrt later starts, up again. Next to He'is the muscle of the heart itself, A'lijch happens In from ten to twenty uiiiutes after the' bootl stops circu­ iting. This marks the time within which victims of heart failure may he revived. Hearts which have stopped for-more than twenty minutes are like­ ly themselves to be dead and Impos­ sible to start British P. O.

Izpioring Earth’s Crust Aids in Geological W ork VVltlilti recent years there have been 'eveloped a number of geophysical iicthods for exploring the earth's crust. I’liey are by no means complete 1» liemselves, but are quite valuable a< efinements for Hie geologic methods i'liey are based upon the fact tha- '. Iiile light cnunot penetrate the groun*’ ■ml enable us to see what is below us- lie rocks are easily pentrated bj ■rlier radiations, such as sound an* !Mtri Pa I and magnetic forces. These methods are especially val­ uable In prospecting for oil or sul- iilnir, writes Tile.mas M. Beck in' the ''liiissgo Tribune: because, of the pe .-Iiliar manner in which these two ma 'erlals occur. Oil, Iieing a liquid, occurs in paying quantities only where it Is bottled up, geologically speaking. That Is, it is nearly always found In iayers of porous sandstone, along with <alt water, lying between layers of iionporous limestone which keep It from leaking away.

B essem er Steel Process Wa* theFirit Invented Steel; I* nothing.’ more than refined Irotu There are countless varieties of Steel1T,produced Sby many different processes, the method ,of production depending entlrelyupon the purpose- for which the metal. Is to be used, observes a wrlter In' the Chicago Trib­ une. Steel differs from wrought iron In that . it Is virtually free from slag, and .Ctbni pig Iron because It contains Iess^ .than 22 per cent,; and usually less tlran IJS per cent, carbon. .. By ter the greater part of the crude' steel produced In the - Ontted States is made by the basic open hearth process. A smaller amount I* made by. the Bessemer process, a process tnvented by Sir Henry Bessemer In 1856.. Still smaller proportions are produced by the so-called acid open hearth process, the electric process, and the crucible process. Of the various processes the last named was the first invented, stee! of earlier ages having been produced by. .still more primitive methods, it was lii-1740'that a watchmaker named Huntsman,, of Sheffield, England, hit upon the Iidea of making steel by melting iron In a crucible, or pot. Be cause this process was costly and re­ sulted In a very limit’. 1 output ot steel, Bessemer turned his attention to the Idea of Improving metal for use In cannon. His theory, which was put into practice, consisted of using oxygen for relining the metal by forcing a blast of air on or through pig lrou. On trial the met I*-' ■" not only purified the iron, but insi..nt of blowing cold and freezing, the metal became hot enough to remain inolten even when all the carbon was gone and hitherto Infusible pure iron reuiiined. It took years of experimentation after 1836 before the .Bessemer process was a commercial success. KatyiIIiI Sing* Deatk Song The katydid's song is a tremendous rhapsody of life and death.

By R. E, Nance. Profeasor Ot Animal Hus­bandry, North Carolina State College.—WNU Service. The many methods of curing pork are mostly variations of the two principal methods: the bnne cure : and the dry salt cure. Common salt is the basis of all meat curing. Sugar is sometimes added to give a better flavor and to counteract the- tendency of the salt to harden the ,meat. Saltpeter may be used also to give the meat a natural red color, it has some preservative effect, too. In curing pork, be sure that all the animal heat has dissipated and that the meat has not frozen. Co the ciiring in a cool, well ventilated place and, if possible, in a tempera­ ture of 34 to 40 degrees fahrenheit. In the brine cure, for. each 100 pounds of meat use. 12 pounds of salt, two ounces of saltpeter, and - six gallons of water. BoU the water ' and allow it to cool. If desired, add three cups of sugar to this formula. Thoroughly mix the salt, . salt­peter, and sugar and rub some of the mixture into the hams, shoul­ders, and sides. Pack aU meat in the same vessel, skin side down, except the top layer should be skin ;side up. Weight the meat down- with clean hard wood or brides.' - Dissolve therest of the salt and other ingredients in the six gallons of water,' - before the water has cooled. After the solution is cool, pour it over the meat in the vessel until all meat is covered. Repack the.meat bn the seventh and twenty- first days. When the meat is cured, wash it first in hot water and then in cold water and hang it in the smoke­ house to drip for 24 hours before smoking. For the dry cure, use for . each 100 pounds of meat: eight pounds of salt, three ounces of saltpeter, and three pounds of sugar (brown pre­ ferred). Mix the ingredients - thoroughly and rub half the mixture on the meat, then pack it as for the brine cure. In seven days repack the meat and rub on the other-half. The meat should cure three days for each pound of weight of each piece. Then wash it and hang it-in the smoke­ house. Smoke the meat with' hickory, oak, or corn cobs to suit the taste. If the smokehouse is fly-proof and well ventilated, meat may be left in it until used. Otherwise, it should be wrapped in heavy paper. O ilts B etter T h a n S o w s in R aising M arket P igs Aiit eight-year breeding experiment !recently completed by the .United States' -Department of Agriculture bears out the belief of many swine breeders that gilts are more eco­nomical breeding animals than ma­ ture sows. :! E.Z. Russell of . the Bureau of Animal Industry reports that pigs ' from gilts were raised at less cost Iper pound of marketable .weight !than pigs from mature sows. This ^includes all periods of .growth—gest­ ation, suckling,'growing, and fat­ tening. I Three groups were tested In the experiment — mature sows,, gilts 'from mature sows, and gilts from igilts. Pigs from the second group ;were raised to a marketable weight at 47 cents a hundred pounds less than the first group of pigs, from the third group, at 42 cents a hun­ dred pounds less. One of the advantages in using -gilts for breeding, Russell points out, ,is that if a gilt should prove to be 'a non-breeder the animal StUl would sell well as a butcher hog. "There was no drop in the pfo- duction ability of the gflts from gilta, as the records show that at the end of the eighth year their litters average 1,420 pounds'at 190 days of age, the best record for this group for the entire eight years. !

Manure, Straw, NeededbySoil C areful R eturn o f M anure Is an A id to L and T h at N eeds P otash. '4 D A V ii ftgooftft' n . & m a rc h 2 4 ,1*37 By L. B. Kilter, Associate Ia SoU Stepaitr meat Fields. Unlveraltr of UU- nol*.—WNU Sarvict. Careful return of manure and straw to fields provides a “soil security program" for those lands that are on the verge of a 'potash deficiency. In the growing of corn and grain crops, fully two-thirds of the potash content is in the corn­ stalk and straw. If these~by-products" of the farm are left on the land or are applied as manure, they re­ turn some potash to the “soil bank” to be used again.' A study of crop yield data over a 20-year period on 'six soil, experi­ mental farms on the gray soils shows that yield levels were as high with manure as with potash; basic, treatments of limestone and phos­ phate having been used in each, case. The manure was applied . at : the rate at which with careful man­ agement 'it could be accumulated on any live stock farm. For the farmer Who markets his crops as grain, the problem is some­what different. At one soil experi­ ment field the corn yields on lhhed gray silt loam on tight day for the rotation ending In 1928 were >'28 bushels. Sfince that time yields have declined to 21 bushels. This decline appears to be caused by potash, deficiency for, with the application of oats straw at the rate of two tons , m acre for each four- year rotationsince 1929,.the com yields have been revived to an av­ erage of 4$ bushels tor the Igst four - year period. This treatment seems also to. have satisfied the potash needs of'other crops in the rotation. Analysis of the straw showed that each two-ton applica­ tion contained about as much potas­ sium as is supplied by 110 pounds 6t muriate of potash. . After limestone and clovers have boosted crop yields .above.; sub-, marginal levels, farmers will do well to watch for potash deficiency. Not that legnme farming is a breeder of potash shortage dh the soil, but as yields go up, greater demands-are made upon soil nihierals. Whencrop growth is sufficient to exhaust ..the supply of any one: of the plant nu­ trients, the crop is handicapped.^ A minimum acreage of soil-de­ pleting cultivated crops such as corn and soy beans, ^together with .the return of manure and straw; will go a long way toward making farms self-sufficient in- their potash re­ quirements.

H . Nis- sley, extension professor of .vege­ table growing at^ithe New Jersey college of agriculture, Rutgers uni­ versity. ' I ; In sash greenhouses, which., are. usually heated bysa wood stove or with a hot water-system, seed sow­ ing and transplanting may be done in comfort, even.:,during extremely cold weather, and watering:..and ventilating are jeasier because of the larger air .space under the glass; Last winter many of these -struc­ tures were built.-Some of them are located In the garage. With this ar­ rangement, the heat is furnished .,to the garage and to the washing-and packing house asgwell as to: the greenhouse. These structures .are not expen­ sive to build. An lgsash greenhouse complete with boiler and head house, new sash and new materials should cost less than $390, not counting labor. Where sash ls on hand. -there may be no need Of .buying new.'In­ stead of- purchasing a new boiler, a good second hand 'one, purchased at a low price, may be used.-For permanent structures, a concrete or hollow tile foundation and .-walls are recommended.; Wooden- sides may also be used if lumber is avail­ able. .j In th e F eed L ot - - Dairymen who make the highest income from their-'herds plan-their business so that the .volume of milk production is maintained in winter months when prices are normally best.• • .* An annual farm inventory -will show a farmer just where he stands: financially whether he is gaining or losing, and how much.

C* BRIGHT STAR B y M a ry S c h u m an n Copyright by Uacrao Smith Cm s WNU Servloe SYNOPSIS Kerb Marsh* pretty, selfish and twenty, ar­rives home in Corinth from school and is met by her older brother. Hugh. He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kerias %sfs. ter, Margery, plump and matronly with: the care of three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh's wife* Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement On the way back to bis job at the sted plant founded by one of Ms fore­bears, Hugh passes Poc Hiller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be­cause of DiwrIetS antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband, • Jim, whose unstable char­acter she fears Keria has inherited. 'Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically Indined girl who is a distant niece of Flu­vanna's and a favorite of HnghtSt IShe hap­pily. tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue.. Ellen fears that her father and mother, GaxiVt and iJsrie, will not. ap­prove the match. Hugh and Dorrie go out to the Fmeland Farms to dance with their friends* Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who has been out of work, announces that he has a new position. 'Cun and Dorrie dance to­gether and then disappear for a while. Danc­ing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in tears. Apparently she has some secret worry over her husband. Cun. When Ellen and Jerry speak about their engagement to Ellen's par­ents. Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym­pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat­ter is left pending. Unexpectedly Hugh has to visit a neighboring city on business. Return­ing home to ask Dorrie to accompany him be finds her telephoning. In confusion she quick­ly hangs up without saying good-by- After hesitating about Hugh's invitation, she finally agrees to accompany him. They spend a de­lightful day and Hugh is happy. At a family party, Kezia encounters Jerry* Ellen is dis­turbed when Jerry is. absorbed by Keria. Keria goes out of her way to charm Jerry. CHAPTER V—Continued — 10 ■ “OJ course, dear. Eric is polish­ ing the car but I think he’ll have it finished soon.” “Oh, he’s working on it?” Mar­ gery hesitated. “Could they play around the yard if the car isn’t available? . . . I hate to ask you— they were there so much last week »» "Of course. Bring them on your way to Millie’s.” Kezia, coming down the stairs, said, “Margery want the car? What’s the matter with her own?” “She wants to see Millie Jen­ nings and has asked me to take the ,boys out." “Do we have to have those little devils again today? The baby is. better, isn’t'she? They were here yesterday and all last week. Mar­ gery imposes on you!” “They can play around the yard if Eric isn’t ready. It’s not much to do for Margery. She’s worn out, and ft will be good for her to get away for a couple hours. And they re not little devils—just a cou­ ple of healthy normal boys." "Other people are worn out too." muttered Kezia under her breath. Fiuvanna smiled. "You. my dear7" "Last mght I was trying to come in quietly so I wouldn't waken you and I stumbled over a scooter in the hall. Barked my shin—look at it!" vLast night? Kezzie. whom did you go out vnth last mght? I don’t believe you mentioned it—and I didn’t recognize the car." Kezia s face became bland and innocent. "Didn't I tell you? A crowd of us went to Emmy Mark- ham s. Bees Snyder is as funny as a clown! You snould hear him take off Lem Potter and Mrs. Lem Potter! And we had a swell sup­ per. Went to the kitchen about twelve-thirty and cooked bacon and eggs, ate watermelon. No mail for me? . . . I think 1'U go up and write some letters. I owe everyone I know." She was disappearing up the stairs when Fluvanna said: "Was Ellen Pendleton at Emmie's?" "No." Kezia answered, careless­ ly-Fluvanna thought she had heard Jerry s voice from the drive under her window when Kezia came in. She must have been mistaken. Per­ haps it had been Bees Snyder. Cer­ tainly not Jerry if Ellen had not been there . . . She remembered that Kezia hadn't really told her who had called for ner. Not that it mattered. It only illustrated the secrecy which was one 01 her traits, that fierce guarding of un­ important trifles, that resentment of being questioned or called to account—even by implication. Kezia reminded her of her-hus­ band. Her thoughts flew away to him. He had hated questioning so. Yet he could be loquacious on oc­ casion. expansive, humorous, wist­ ful. flattering, a man of many moods. She remembered how well he. nad dressed. He wore a cut­ away coat on Sunday, the silk hat and the winged collar which were the fashion of the .time. His bear­ ing had an alien elegance which spelled romance to her. Generous too. Once he gave a cripple the contents of his purse—then bor­ rowed money from Fluvanna to nay for their dinner at the hotel. When he received change from a ourchase. he always put it in his pocket without counting it. Tiiat house on Lincoln street in which they went to housekeeping, nve old-fashioned rooms and the oath downstairs . . . the. big elm which drooped before the door . . Me enchantment, laughter, tears of arly married life.. Jim had loved orses and attended every race -ieet withm a radius of 50 miles, ovnl sometimes when he - came ome—sometimes discontented. He also liked cards. Late for dinner, late for engagements; a card game had detained him. The memories became a moving picture screen reproducing scenes in flashes, scenes impervious to the assault of time. Friends, par­ ties, the birth of Hugh, financial pressure, disagreements and the sweet toll, of reconciliation. Jim, gay, hopeful, magnetic; Jim, mo­ rose, silent. He always dominated the picture with that positive driv­ ing force of his, perverse, ill-con­ sidered, but a power, nevertheless. She thought sadly that it was hu­ man nature to love those persons best who had a streak of per­ versity in their make-up. Or per­haps one is only more aware of that love—they test it so. Several times he had been forced to borrow from her father to meet various demands, blit was never able to repay the loans. After the death of her mother and his losses in the stock market, Jim’s habit of drinking increased. He did not use soft words wher. he drank. Some inner demon spoke in cruel, vindictive phrases. When she saw him after one of those nights when he had come ir with stumbling, uncertain steps, his handsome face puffy, his hand. trembling so he could scarcely hold the coffee cup, she was amazed at the conflict of love, and hate which struggled in her. He reminded her of bleary old Tom Gaveney who took away the rubbish . . . But it was really Jim, her husband, to whom she was bound for life. Their three children, Margery, Hugh and Kezia were at school and might come home any time. No one must know—no one at all. Draw the blinds. Send the maid to the laundry. . Telephone the office that he wasn’t well. Head up; smile at friends and strangers. The banner of pride must float bravely while the craft is sinking. And then that day. ' The freshly ironed shirts and children’s garments lay on the bed. Put this pile In Hugh’s room; sew the lace on Margery’s dress; socks of varying sizes, colors must be sorted, mended'; a stitch here, a button there . . . She had never been able to put away freshly - latmdered clothes since without a leaden feeling, for., suddenly she looked up and saw Jim. He was standing by the chiffon­ ier, one elbow on it, watching her.“Jim? You home? Have you had your lunch?” He did not answer at once. His gaze was somber but not unkind. He sat down in a chair and mo­ tioned for her to take one. A foreboding gripped her. She watched his hands, lean, restless, clutching the arm of the chair un­ til they were white at the knuck­ les. An odd ring on his Uttle finger —a ring which ne had inherited from his father—was raised into prominence. "I m m a bad way. Fluvanna." “Sick?" He shook his head. Her glance hardened. “Money again? I—Jim. you know " "Yes. I know what you're going to say. You ve done a lot. Helped me out a dozen times. But this time—this time "—he struck the arm of the chair with his fist— "you must! Must. I say!" She rose without a word, went over to the bed. gathered up some of the garments and put them in a drawer. She wouldn't . . . she wouldn't. Drammg away every­ thing she had. She had been too easy. She had to think of her children, their education, future— ' "I must have $15,000." - “Fifteen thousand dollars!” The sum startled her. For what? . . . "I haven’t it. You know I haven't." His eyes swept the room, came back to her. "Sell something. Put a Vnortgage on’ the house." "I won't. Nothmg can make me." "Won't, eh?" His lips curled in a hateful smile. "You'd rather see your husband go to the peniten­ tiary. I suppose." The penitentiary? His words re­sounded like the echo of waves, and the blood seemed to slip- quietly away from her body. Ieavmg only flesh and nerves. The penitentiary!"I don't believe you.-^she said faintly. - •He did not reply. Then scarcely knowing what she was domg. she went into the adjoining room where Kezia. slept. - Kezia had left a leg­ less doll on the floor. Mechanically she picked it up and put it into the closet. Then Jtm was in the doorway! He was holding a revolver idly in his hand. Horror froze in her. Was he going to kill himself—before her? . . . But he pomted it at hei."Jim. you wouldn’t. Don t—try to be funny." she gasped. "I must have it before four o'clock,"She smelled the odor of whiskey. “Stop wavmg that revolver around! You know it s loaded.-' "So it is."She backed away from him. out into the hall. She wanted to call him a coward and a bully, but she was too terrified. There was some thing brooding and insane m bu look. — "You say you won't?”"I can't. How can you threstei me this way? What if the childrei should see you?" "You could borrow it on yeun steel stock-."

Anyway, there he was, jwith a wonderful basket of scented loveliness, tempting the home­ ward-going throng on a Saturday afternoon. “Violets, violets, lovely violets. Quarter a bunch. Lovely violets.” Like an unending song, his husky voice cried his wares, and during, the ten minutes that I stood near him on the pavement, watching - and listening, he kept up his cry. Unable to resist the temptation, I bought a bunch,, and even as he served me, he punctuated the deal ’with: “Violets; all fresh and love­ ly ”Persistence Counts.

Back in New York Margaret Sullavan had an­ nounced that shewas going to with­draw from the cast of “Stage Door,” be­ cause she is going to play a mother role in . real life Joan Bennett soon. The producer thought it would be a grand idea to get Joan to take over her part. She was ' quite interested, and Walter Wanger, to whom she is under con­ tract, said he was willing to let her go. But that wily Walter Wanger showed Joan the costume sketches for “Vogues of 1937” and that set­tled it. If you have been wondering what Arthur Tracy, the Street Singer so long popiilar on the radio, has been np to, you’ll soon see for yourselves. In “Backstage.” a picture he re­ cently made in London, he plays opposite Anna Neagle. the Gau- mont-Bntish star. Tillie Loscb is in it too. the exquisite dancer whose hands writhed so seductively in "Garden of Allah." Clark Gable, who thinks that Rob­ert Taylor is a great romantic actor, ami Robert Taylor who thinks that Clark Gable is tops, have persuaded Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to let them make a picture together. The story selected is "Spurs of Pride." a mili­ tary story by Percival Wren. —■*— There is a serious shortage of beautiful chorus girls in Hollywood right now. because all the studios are making big musicals. Girls who could not even get a few days extra work while the studios were all busy on dramatic pictures, are now sign­ ing ten-week contracts calling for as much as $209 a week.’ Samuel Goldwyn’s chief complaint about the beautiful girls who come to Holly­ wood seeking work Is that they in­ variably try to look like some popu­ lar star, instead of being beautiful In their own way. The one sure way not to get an engagement m one of his pictures is to have some­ one tell him that you look just like Virguua Bruce, or Carole Lombard.

CAMELS COSTLIER TOBACCOS Governor's Porto Rico Palace Is Oldest House Iji Fortoleza, the Governor’s Palace, Is next to the oldest house In Porto Rico. Its huge towers and connecting galleries were completed before 1S>40. Its treasure vaults extend below the sea and here were stored, until they could be shipped to Spain, the car­ goes of gold and silver gathered from Mexico and South America In the early days of Spanish occupation. Historic frescoes, fine mirrors and rare stained glass adorn the Gover­ nor's Palace; dooi-s, screens and oth­ er parts of native wood are rich with the patina of age. The large rootn extending across the entire front of 'the palace was known as the “throne room’* under Spanish rule, because here were held audiences with the governor general, the direct "represent­ ative of the Spanish throne. Beyond the Governor's Balace looms the great cathedral, the burial place of Ponce de Leon, founder of San Jnnn.

Black and WKite Warbler The Black and White Warbler Is a migratory bird, and is to be seen only during the spring and fall journeys to -and from South. America where it win­ ters. Because of its alert, jerky creeping over the woodland trees In the search for insects, this little war­ bler is commonly called Black and .White Creeper. A bird for close ob­ servers. it is marked with black streaks on a white background. The males are more heavily streaked with black, and the black does not have the brown­ ish cast- of that of the females. Ocean’s Greatest Depth Is More Than Six Mllss Tlie greatest depression In the ocean Is Id the vast gulf called thf Min­ danao Deep, off the Philippines. Here In latitude 9 degrees 41 minutes 19 seconds north and longitude.. 126 de grees 50 minutes 15 seconds east, the Pacific descends to 35,400 feet—more than six miles. This gives a range of more than Ilte miles between the bottom of the ocean and the top of the land—Monn Everest, in the Himalayas, 29,141 feet above sea level. The bottom In the Mindanao Deei was discovered In recent' years by the United States navy. Previously the greatest depth known was 32.644 feet, also In the Pacific, 145 miles southeast of Tokyo. This depth was measured by a Japanese naval survet in 1924. A series of deeps extend- along the Pacific not far from the ele rations of the Asiatic coasts. Adjust ments between these diverse levels have been held responsible for such disasters as the great Japanese earth quake of several years ago.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. ClasuficaHons of Tea Teas from all parts of the world fall into three general classifications -IiFermented or black teas which, are preferred In this country; unfermented or green tea which is the kind used In Japan; and semi-fermented, a.blend of the . two. All three may come from the same busb for like some other com­modities the chief difference lies in treatment after it Is-picked.' Also, climate aDd altitude In which'the tea Is grown makes a marked difference In flavor. A Dying Man's Advice. Methodist Bishop Edwin D. Mou- zon died on February 8 in Charlotte. But earlier on the same day, he wrote Major Bulwinkle, expressing opposition to the President’s request ‘ that power be; given him to name six additional Supreme judges.” The letter arrived at the major’s officein Washington on February 10, after he had read in the newspapers of the death of Bishop Monzon. "The Constitution is the bulwark of our liberties,” wrote the bishop "To tamper with the Supreme Tourt is to endanger the very life of those institutions which we have inherited from our farthers. Sureiv the time has come for us to see to it that our liberties are preserved.”—The State. BedIington Terrier Is Smart, Ssrappgl Loysl Contrary to popular belief the BeA- Iington terror is not the result of a misalliance between a sheep and a sheep dog. The story Is that the Bed- lington terrier is a cross between the Dandle Dinmont terrier a.id the otter­ hound. He combines the latter’s love of water and scenting ability with the former’s gameness. Intelligence and loyalty, writes ft. K. Taynton In the Washington Star. Where he gets his scrappy disposi­ tion and fierce Jealousy, both utter­ ly belied by Iiis lamblike appearance, is unknown. The Bedlington terrier is a longer legged dog than most ter­ riers, only slightly smaller than the airedale. Unlike most dogs, his breed standard calls for a flat-sided, nar­ row-chested dog. but one that gives an-Impression of muscular strength. .Most show BedIingtons are blue, but sandy, tan and liver colored are’ also admitted. All should have pale top­ knots. ' It is the pale, silky topknot. In­ herited from its Dandie forbears, that gives the Bedlington Its sheeplike air.

When we. realize,' too, that at the present time over 500,000 species of Insects have been classified, and that thousands of unclassified * specimens are accumulating In museums, uni­ versities, and In the pockets of en- tomoligists, we find we cannot justly condemn a whole class because of an extremely small nomber of disreputable members. Suppose Insects do destroy 10 per cent of our,crops? What of It? What a: small .-fee they exact, when we con­ sider that without the aid of Insect pollination we would have practically no crops at all I It is very likely, that man, In the fu­ ture as In the. past, will continue to keep In abeyance those of them which are injurious to his health and well­ being, and at the same time divert the activities of others to the common good.'

Lest We Forget The State We believe that at this particular time it would be highly fatting and appropriate to call attention to the following excerpt from the Fare well Address of that immortal pa. triot, George Washington, who gave more to bis country and for the rights and liberties which we now enjoy than any other living or dead American: “It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free coutitrv should inspire cauntion in those intrusted with its admiration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres; avoiding in the exercise ot the powers of one department to en croach upon another. The spirit of encroachment'tends to consoli­ date the powers of all the depart­ ments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real depotism.—A just estimate of that love of power, and pro nenessto abuse it, which predo minates in the human heart, is suf ficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position.—The necessity of re dprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depo. sitories, and constituting each the Guardian of the Public Weal a- gainst invasions Iiy the others, has been evinced by experiments an­ cient and modern; some of them in our country and under our own eves. To present them must be as necessary as to institute them.' If in the opinion of .'the People, the distribution or modification of .the constitutional powers be in any par­ ticular wrong, let it becarrecled bv an amendment in the way which the Constitution' designates.—But let there be no change by usurpa tion; for though .this, in one in­ stance, may be the instrument of good, it is the cfustbmary weapon by which free governments are de­ stroyed.—The precedent must al ways greatly overbalance in per manent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield.” President Roosevelt’s impassion ed appeal for the confidence of the Americanpeopleisimpressive He insists that, in view of his rec­ ord as Governor of ;New York and as President, he is.not goiog to do harm to their liberties, and asks that they believe in him, and follow him. Weareminded to remark that the people of this country are willing to hear him and to stay behind him so long as he stays within and behind the C onstitution.; They are not so eager, however, to follow him or an V'other man they ever heard of or hope to hear of in the future in the event that such an one wants to philander outside and beyond the- known and plainly marked limits of that Constitution - Charlotte Observer, Democrat. .

The Supreme Court issue is now before the people in the simples possible terms. The question is reduced to this language: • 'It^the. Supreme Court to be made the instrument of an autocfa tic President’s will—or any kind of a President’s arbitrary will.” There Is No Other Question. It is a waste of time to talk a- bout the age of members of the Court, about congestion of calen­ dars. These early smoke screens have been blown away. President Roosevelt has become entirely and commendably frank about this. First in his ‘ Victory Dinner” speech, and now in his latest “ Fire­ side Chat,” he has clearly stated his Sole Purpose. That purpose, in his own words, is to: “ Appoint justices who will not undertake to over ride the judgment of the ! Congress on legislative policy.” And tbereiSno school child in this broad land so simple as to doubt that the present judgment of Con­ gress. Is The Jndgment Of Mr Roosevelt.-' This is an. astounding: grant of power which Mr. Roosevelt seeks. It is not important alone to know what He will do with it. It is just as important to know Who Will Use It In The Futuie, And How? If Mr. Roosevelt can do this . de­ structive thing to the Supreme Court; a future President with the same strange grip on Congress can do it also, and in any way He pleases. Anotner President may decide to increase the court to twenty or fifty, or to reduce it to five or even one justice Obedient To His-Will- He may be a good President or a bad one. He may be a popular ser­ vant or a ruthless despot. . But good or bad.he will be using the weapon Mr Roosevelt is fashion­ ing Out of His Present Power. He will have had the means and method bequeathed to him to des troy democracy. The Supreme Court will either survive this controversy as the in dependent agency of Government the Constitution intends it to be, or It Will Not Survive At AU.

' * Grant that the President’s ob jective is desirable; bis method is indefensible. It must be resisted because it is wrong; and also be­ cause that, is a right way If the President or the Congress .or both ought to have more power, and the people and the states less, let an amendment to the Constitution be submitted to the people. Let us never seek to reconstruct a court to our wills. We may impeach upon proper grounds, but we cannot re construct a court.

When Charles B. Aycock was making his campaign for Governor if North Carolina one of his favor ite expressions was that the en­ forcement of the law in the state Iiad broken down and that the ‘ crack of a pistol was heard moTe >ften than the song of the mock, ing ” Of course this was not true ^ut was an-invention of Aycock to ride into office. We are just won* leriag what he would say today of our crime record were he return to earth and see the lawlessness that is going on in North Carolina? The religious papers of the state as well as the secular papers are getting alarmed over the crime that is being committed daily in the state and are wondering what is going to be done about it? In many counties law enforcement seems to have broken down completely. What has become of the investi­ gation of the murder and violation >f the Alleghany girl more than a month ago? The bombastic sheriff ■>f that county was going 10 do something right now Has he done it? What has become of the an*- dysis of the blood stained clothing be sent to Washington? And coming-nearer home there is entirely too ' many unsolved crimes in Forsyth county. What is the trouble? We are not cen­ suring any one but we hear too much of “clues” that never get anywhere. The Biblical Recorder, published in Raleigh, is outspoken in condem nation of the crime wave. That papei says. Ninemurder cases were on the docket of the Wake-County Supe­ rior Court for the term beginning February 22; some of these mur ders were, as reported and as came- out on the trials, of enormous atro city. During the same week there were murder trials of much notorie ty going on in other parts of the ■itate, the one in Wilmington ex­ citing much more than ordinary in­ terest. In some of these cases father killed son, or husband killed wife, or comrade killed comrade, or officer killed an unarmed person thinking he started to draw a gun In several of the cases liquor had a part but not in all. “These numerous murders are a matter of serious concern for us all We take !-t that they are only one manifestation of the spirit of law lessness that is now so prevalent, the worst manifestation. When people do not stop at bootlegging and stealing and reckless driving on the roads, some of them are not likely to stop at any crime, not even murder. Those who accustom themselves to one kind of crime, soon harbor in their thoughts a readiness to commit the worst of crimes. They have utter disrespect of law. If we would get rid of of murder, we must start getting rid of crimes sometimes called petty. “ How to remedy the present ter­ rible condition is a bard question. Same advocate -severer penalties, graduated according to the char­ acter of the crimes. Others see some hope in a -more certain and impartial 'application of the law. Others would restrict Ihe number of pardons. Perhapsthereissome good in all these suggestions. We should welcome anything that may be done in any of these ways. We are not oblivious of the fact, bow* ever, that such a crime record as our state has. with nine murder trial at one term of the Superior Court of one country, is in no way creditable to the moral and religious forces'of our state. We must be more active than ever in preaching the Gospel; crime does not flourish amoug a moral a n d religious people.” Something has got to .be done to stop this* crime wave.

Reporter, EDW IN WILLIAMS Compromising WithTHe Devil. Apparently the. North Carolina legislature theorizes that if a fellow is going to Kamble he should do it in a big way; if he is going to take a chance it should be with horseflesh and not with gadgets that are gear­ ed against him. Or to look at it an­ other way youngsters and the like who have . only a nirhei to spare jbould be made to keeu their money in the pocket until they have accu­ mulated enough to -go places and really do things. Which is a sort of preamble to re-' flection on the fact ,that both bodies of the General Assembly have put tbeir 0. k , on a law that is designed to ban slot machines from the State and another that authorizes an elec­ tion in Rowan county to determine whether the people of that county want to establish a race track to ac­ commodate those wiih money burn­ ing pockets. One commentator calls this having “a dog-fall with the devil.” And so it Seems, with the difference. th«.t maybe the devil would prefer it the other way .around. The legislators cannot sidt-step tbeir responsibility for this inconsistent action by ar­ guing that it is the democratic way of local -determination, for: their were a number of counties that wanted to be exempted from the slot machine measure, but the law* makers wouldn't see it that way. Rowan probably will now manage somehow to have legalised pari­ mutuel gambling, and that will prove the entering wedge, for a similar set-up all, over the State in counties where there appear to be sports enough to make it a going concern, just as the legalized liquor store plan which was given birth in’ the closing days of. the last legisla­ ture was the forerunner of coveys of such as seon will be competing with service stations for choice locations on Main Street Butwonderwhab the lad who di­ verts a part of his lunch money for a try at the slot machine pay-off, thinks about this / tussle with the devil?—Statesville Daily. - :- Big Snack.

F. of L.—Franco Threatens Madrid. By ED W A R D W. PIC K A R D © Western Newspaper Union. W PresidentRoosevelt TXTITH the repercussions from’ V the President’s fireside radio address and the opening of hear­ ings by the senate judiciary com­ mittee, the contro­ versy over the prop­osition to enlarge the Supreme court took on renewed heat. Mr. Roose­ velt’s talk was so generally heard over the radio that no ex­ tended report of it is needed. He made an extraordinarily bitter attack on the majority of the Su­ preme court that has repeatedly upset New Deal leg­islation, and avowed frankly his de­ termination to have a tribunal that “will not undertake to override the judgment of the congress on legisla­ tive policy.” If the phrase “packing the court” means that, then, said the President “I say that I and with me the vast majority of the American people favor doing just that thing— now.” “The court, in addition to the proper use of its judicial functions,” said Mr. Roosevelt, “has improper­ ly set itself up as a third house of the congress—a super-legislature, as one of the justices has called it— reading into the constitution words and implications, which are not there, and which were never in­ tended to be there. “We have, therefore, reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the constitution from the court and the court from itself. We must find a way to take an appeal from the Supreme court to the constitution itself. We want a Supreme court which will do justice under the constitution—not over it. In our courts we want a government of laws and not of men.” Mr. Roosevelt divided the op­ ponents of his plan into two classes. The first, he said, includes those “who fundamentally object to social and economic legislation along mod­ ern lines” and opposed him in the last election; and of them he spoke with supreme contempt. The second group, those “who honestly believe the amendment process is the best,” were told they could not expect faithful support from their “strange bedfellows,” and that even - if an amendment were passed and rati­fied, its meaning would depend on the “kind of justices who would be sitting on the Supreme court bench.” Attorney General Cummings ap­ peared before the senate judiciary committee to speak for the Presi­ dent’s court bill, and he used much the same arguments Mr. Roosevelt had employed. Senators Borah and Burke questioned him sharply and searchingly, but he was agile in evasion. However, he did satisfy the opposition senators by admit­ ting bluntly that the purpose of the measure was to change the com­ plexion of the court, to get men with “liberal, forward - looking views.” Senator Dieterich of Illinois sought to curb the questioning of Mr. Cum­ mings but was squelched by Borah. Dieterich has not committed him- self on the bill but is now classed among its supporters. His candidate for the federal circuit court of ap­ peals in Chicago, District Judge J. Earl Major of Springfield, has just been nominated by the President.Assistant Attorney General Rob­ ert Jackson was the second witness heard, and the foes of the measure sought to prove, by questioning him, that there is no actual need for the judiciary bill to relieve congestion of federal dockets and therefore that the only purpose of the measure is to change the viewpoint of the high tribunal. SATISFIED with the way his ad­ ministrative plans are going for­ ward, President Roosevelt left Wash­ ington fcr a two weeks’ stay in Warm Springs, Ga. He went directly to his white cottage on Pine moun­ tain from which he looks down on the foundation for infantile paraly­ sis sufferers. It was announced that he would see few officials or other visitors there, conducting all essen­ tial public business by telegraph and telephone. Temporary execu­tive offices were set up in Kress hall at the foundation. Before leaving Washington Air. Roosevelt said at a press conference that he and Prime Minister W. L, Mackenzie King of Canada had dis­ cussed the St. Lawrence waterway treaty during King’s visit. Whether the treaty will be submitted to the senate at this session, he said, is not yet known. It was rejected a few years ago. T HE Committee for Industrial Or­ ganization has declared open warfare on the American Federa­ tion of Labor, by authorizing its ex-, ecutive officials to issue certificates of affiliation to national, interna­ tional, state, regional, city and cen­ tral bodies and local groups when­ ever it is deemed. John L. Lewis says the C. I. O. has hundreds of applications for affiliation and that he will take in any A. F. of L. unions that wish to join his organization. At the same time half a hun­ dred organizers of the Ameri­ can Federation of Labor met with President William Green to plan means of protecting the body against the C. I. O. and to hold the ranks of the craft unions in line. They arranged for an intensive campaign to organize unions in steel to rival the C. I. O.’s Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers; considered spreading the charge that LewLs is allied with communist interests, and th e launching of plans to organize in the cement, aluminum, cereal, and-flour mill industries. The organizers also discussed organization of gas sta­ tion attendants, which would over­ lap with Lewis’ plans to organize the petroleum industry. The Camegie-Illinois company union, which is bitterly opposed to the C. I. O., has not yet reached an agreement on affiliation with the A. F. of L. General Electric and some of the other big concerns that yielded to a certain extent to the demands ol the C. L O. followed the example of the steel companies in asserting that they still reserved the ,sight to deal also with other unions1 or groups of employees. Eight thousand employees of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu­facturing company’s Pittsburgh plant demanded a 20 per cent raise in wages and it was feared they would start a strike if Jthe demand were rejected. Because the Chrysler motor com­ pany refused to recognize the United Automobile Workers of America as the sole bargaining agency for all its employees, a strike, was called in all its major units in Detroit, and other plants of the company were closed because of dependence on Detroit production. More than 50,000 workers were thus thrown into idle­ ness. The union also called a strike at the Hudson Motor Car company be­ cause, they asserted, officials of the concern were stalling in negotia­tions on working conditions. r J EN. FRANCISCO FRANCO, leader of the Spanish Fascists^ was reported to be about ready for a final grand assault on Madrid. He assembled a tre­mendous force of tanks and artillery before Guadalajara and captured sever­al towns near b y , threatening the im­mediate cutting off the capital’s last road to the east. Military observers predicted that the „ greatest battle o fGen. Franco the war would soon be fought on the line between the Tajuna and Tajo rivers. Gen. Jose Miaja, loyalist com­mander in the Madrid area, charged that 7,000 Italian troops were taking part in the attack on. Guadalajara. These men, he asserts, were landed in Cadiz , on February 22, two days after the international neutrality committee’s ban on permitting “vol­ unteers” to enter Spain was de­clared effective. The shelling and capture of the Spanish liner Mar Cantabrico by a rebel vessel was a spectacular event in the war. She was carrying a cargo of planes -and munitions from the United States for the loyal­ ists and sought to evade the insurgent cruisers by taking th e name of an English ship. But, ac­cording to a story printed in New York, the complete plan of her movements was revealed to the agent of the rebels in that city and cabled to their headquarters in Spain. Also, according to the only member of the crew who escaped capture, the crew found the captain was communicating with the in­ surgents and executed him at sea. The Mar Cantrabrico, with fire in her holds,, was taken to Ferrol. It w as presumed most of th e Spaniards aboard were slain.. M 'J h M n J z d a b o u t Twilight of Knee Pants.

But the under-rigging doesn’t make so much difference anyhow. In the best plenipo- tentiarying circles, it’s the top dressing that counts — the gold - plated cocked hat; the dress coat loaded with bullion; the bosom crossed with broad ribbons; the lapels and the throat latch so deco­ rated with medals that, alongside one thus costumed, Sol­ omon in all his glory would look absolutely nude. £ Irvin S.

T HE baseball season couldn’t start off properly unless a cer­ tain catastrophe impended before­ hand. Every self-respecting player who made a hit last year insists on more salary for this year, else he’ll never spit in the palm of an­ other glove. This makes him a hold­ out. The manager declares the play­ er will take what’s offered him and not a cent more. This makes him a manager.But fear not, little one.

H OLLYWOOD and not Paris is now the world center for fash­ ions, if you can believe Hollywood— and not Paris. At any rate, both for men and women, we do originate many style creations which, in the best movie circles, frequently make the women look mannish and the men look ef­ feminate, maybe that’s the desired effect: an oldtimer wouldn’t know about that. However, there’s a new hat out here for masculine wear which fas­ cinates me. It is a very woolly hat —a nap on it like an old family album — and the crown peaks up in a most winsome way, and there’s a rakish bunch of tail-feathers at the back which makes it look as though it might settle down any minute and start laying.

The Budapest catacombs' date back to the days when the Fort of Buda was held by the Turks, mark­ ing the farthest fortified advance of the forces of Islam into Christen­dom. They were probably, intended as avenues of escape for a belea­ guered garrison, butxthey also have fresh water wells in them, and some of the chambers were used as re­positories'for: great numbers of hu­ man sktills:' and -bones, a s in the case 6f the catacombs at Rome. Washington.—It has always been said that politics makes strange bedfellows. Histo- Strange ry has shown this Bedfellows statement to be true because in every political battle one can note unusual combinations, odd types working together, personal enemies fighting side by side—in truth, bed­ fellows for the time being. Never has the truth of this old adage been better demonstrated, however, than in the current politi­ cal fight that was precipitated by President Roosevelt’s demand that congress pass a law which will al­ low the Chief-Executive to add six new members to the. Suoreme court of the United States. The real con­ gressional fight on the President’s bold move has not yet gained full headway. But time enough has elapsed since Mr. Roosevelt offered his history-making demand, for power to add enough judges to the Supreme court, judges of his own selection, to give him a majority, that those close to the congressional scene are now in a position to pre­ dict probably the most heated con­ troversy since the days immediately preceding the Civil war. Already, it can be stated, one can see senators and representatives who are known for their liberal views standing side by side with hard-boiled conservatives in opposi­tion to the President’s plan, which they describe as a move “to pack the Supreme court.” Lilcewise one can see conservative ,Democrats from the old South following Presi­ dent Roosevelt and joining hands secretively with the wildest radicals in the senate. One will see Demo­ crats and conservative Republicans in earnest conversation planning ways and means to halt the Presi­dent’s drive for control of the court and at the same time one can see radical Republicans planning with Democrats in support of the pro­gram—strange bedfellows, every one. While this condition is interesting, it is by far less striking as I watch the proceedings than the extreme bitterness that is now developing. While, as I said, the controversy is hardly under way, there is even now personal animosity evident in the senate to a degree that I never have seen before. I had the privi­ lege of observing the famous League of Nations fight at close range. There was personal bitter­ ness in that senate battle.. Old friendships were crushed and close relationships torn- asunder. Yet, I think that the current controversy is IilreIy to cause the League of Na­ tions bitterness to pale into insig­nificance. In other words, there lies ahead for the congress a raging fire that is bound to destroy political lives and political ambitions. WIiich lives and which ambitions depend, I think, upon the answer, which the country’s citizens give to the now direct question: Are we to have a system of courts and judges, independent and free of politics, or are we to have puppets that will do the bidding of political masters?* * • I said above that the result of the Supreme court battle in congress , will be deter-U p to the mined by the atti- People tude of the coun­try. It is vital that the citizens realize this fact. Since President Roosevelt made no men­ tion during the campaign for re- election in. 1938 of plans to reform the Supreme court, there has. been no public expression on the subject. There will not be another opportu­ nity for the voters to express their views until November, 1938. The .only way, then, open to those who want to express an opinion for or against the court change is by send­ ing their views to their congress­ men and senators.' Conversations that I have had with members of the house and the senate convinces me that the representatives and senators will appreciate word as to how their constituents feel. Further evidence of the desire of congressmen and senators to know the feelings of the voters is given in the tremendous propaganda that is going on. Friends and foes of the Supreme court reform program are on the air nightly; scarcely a day goes by.that some senator and usu­ ally several of them and numerous congressmen -participate in debate or issue statements concerning the great controversy, and from the tre­ mendous source of propaganda sup­ply at the command of the Presi­ dent come countless statements and interviews and radio speeches prais­ ing the President’s plan. Even the President himself has made one of his famous “fireside chats" telling why he should be given the new power. ’ In the meantime—and some more strange bedfellows—we find the most peculiar cross currents operat­ ing. Among some of'the religious groups, there are many who fear that the court packing plan will void constitutional guarantees of ' re­ ligious freedom. They fear even­ tual control of the churches by the state, having in mind, no doubt what has. happened to religious groups in Germany and Soviet Rus­sia. Editorials from the Catholic press are being circulated privately among many legislators and against these are some Protestant preach­ ers who take the position that the Supreme court is out of date and ought to be reformed. Numerous- Jewish leaders are opposing the re­ form but among the Jews are many Who feel that President Roosevelt is right. Then there is the split among the farm leaders. I refer to farm or­ ganizations with national spokes­ men. Some are for the change and some against it. Uppermost in the minds of all of the opponents sebras to be a funda­ mental fear that to change the court will open the door through which dictators may walk. To il­ lustrate the type of statements com­ing forth from observers of national reputation as regards this point, I am going to quote from a recent ex­pression by the distinguished colum­ nist, Westbrook Pegler. Lately he wrote: “All of a sudden, Mr. Roosevdt discovers that the Supreme court is largely senile and demands quick action on a proposal which, if adopt­ ed, would create an easy precedent for the most cynical packing of the Supreme court by someone of the type of Huey Long or Warren Hard­ ing, Mussolini or Hitler in years to come. It might not be many years either . . . All dictators pack the courts by legal means as a pre­ liminary to the promulgation of their dictatorial laws. After that it is comparatively easy to take over, because the courts belong to the dictator and do as he orders.” There can be no question, of course, that the thing Mr. Roose­ velt proposes to have congress do for him is legal. Since, however, it is legal in this instance, it will be legal, of course, for someone else to come along after Mr. Roosevelt and pack the court with men of his own choosing, men who will decide questions as the then President de­ sires them to decide. There is no limit to what may come if once the door is opened. Senator Wheeler, the Montana Democrat who has long been outstanding in the liberal character of views he holds, has added to this thought the expres­ sion that if the door is to be opened, the people must do it—not the con­ gress that was elected without vot­ ers' haying heard the proposition mentioned.» • * As the fight of packing the Su­ preme court waxes warmer, one . . , . can not help not-T key M ake Ing Jj0w even M istakes: clever politicians make mistakes. There are many who believe that Mr. Roosevelt made a grievous er­ ror in proposing revision of the Su­ preme court in the fashion he chose while there are others who say that he was elected by such a. tremen­ dous majority that he will have the people behind him regardless of the character of proposition advanced to congress. It is interesting to note how many congressmen and senators are dodg­ ing the issue. Their silence is posi­ tively thunderous because they do not know how the people back home feel about the general proposition. There are others who have come out boldly for one reason or an­ other in support of the plan and there are some 33 or more in the senate who have determined their position already and are ready to fight to the finish to stop passage of such a law. Then there was the mistake' which Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, made in the sen­ ate the other day. He vigorously denounced what he termed propa­ ganda and a conspiracy To defeat the President’s plan.. He called at­ tention to much newspaper and edi­torial comment in opposition and ac­ cused all of those people indiscrimi­ nately with being part of a gigantic conspiracy against the, court pack. The humor of the Robinson out­burst seemed not to be apparent to the otherwise kindly mannered sen­ ator whom I very much admire. What he did by an hour-long attack in the senate was to reemphasize all of the, criticism of the Presi­ dent’s plan. One might refer in this connec­ tion also to the explosive type of speech made'by Harry Hopkins, re­lief administrator. Of course, ev­ eryone knows that Mr. Hopkins has made his life’s work that of looking after suffering humanity. He is on the government pay roll in such a job. Mr. Hopkins attacked all op­position to the President’s plan be­ cause he said it was in the interest of humanity to do so. The relief administrator made his appeal di­ rect to all of those receiving federal money through relief rolls and that obviously will be taken up by oppo­ nents of the President’s plan who undoubtedly will say as some al­ ready have hinted that Mr. Hop­ kins is trying to muster relief classes to bring pressure upon can- gress. ■>• W«tehi Newspaper Uulea.

Peasant Trend in Children’s Clothes By CHERIE NICHOLAS BE AS colorful as you wiU in lu­ ting cut the little "folks in new spring togs for fashions both adult and juvenile have gone madly, wild­ ly, gaily peasant this season. Vivid colors, quaint and naive silhouettes, amusing details, wealth of embroi­ dery done in bright yarns or metal thread, applique of wee posies cut out of gay felt after the manner of Tyrolean and Dalmatian cos­ tumes—what more could designers ask in way of inspiration in creat­ ing clothes to fit into the scheme of childhood’s realm I It lends to the glamor and ro­mance of this all-pervading peasant influence in costume design for lit­ tle folks that many of the fash­ ions are authentically reproduced in current style collections. The spe­ cialty shops and children’s sections in the larger stores are in many instances showing actual reproduc­ tions of the picturesque dresses and boleros and gay little hats and caps as worn by the peasant folk of the Tyrol and in Dalmatia. Even when not a faithful copy there is almost sure to be a touch of em­ broidery or a bright little feather or novel painted buttons or some one accent or another that be­speaks peasant origin. You can see by the attractive fashions pictured that the. younger generation is looking its cunning- est in- its new peasant-inspired clothes. The enthusiasm of a vast audience knew no bounds when the little folks who modelled these win­ some outfits came shyly, prettily, smilingly down the runway at one of the series of breakfast style clin­ ics held recently in the spacious Merchandise Mart in Chicago, that, huge structure which is so alive witn throngs of merchants, manu­ facturers, designers, buyers and sight-seeing out-of-town guests the very air vibrates with activity. No end of applause greeted the child who wore a colorful Dalma­ tian costume featuring a gaily em­ broidered hat-and-bolero ensemble —see it shown to the right in our illustration. The dress is of natu­ ral colored linen, the bolero in bright blue .enlivened with typical Dalma­ tian embroidery. Under her Tyrolean coat the old­ er little girl centered in the group wears a typical Tyrolean skirt with embroidered shoulder-strap top to­ gether with a sweater in green. Her Scotch cap of blue straw with a green feather complements her princess-cut coat held over her arm. Princess coat plus peasant dress thus do both princess- and peasant influences reflect in current vogue. The sweater worn guimpe fashion, is ever so Tyrolean.with its touches of bright embroidery at the neck­ line. This is a fashion of utmost practicality.' The tot with her beloved bunny in arms wears a peasant-type dress of Venetian wine dimity. It is fash­ ioned to create the impression of two pieces. The full skirt sug­ gests the much-talked-of dirndl dress which is being so widely ex­ ploited in connection with Austrian peasant fashions. Of course, to catch the true Tyrolean spirit there must be hand-embroidery on the waist which there is .together with wee pearl buttons that adorn the front of the dress. Your young daughter and son may not be twins but if they are to be correctly dressed mod­ ems this spring they’ll be cos­ tumed alike in gay peasant fash­ ion. Note the youngster sketched below who has gone as authen­ tically Tyrolean as a native in his gaily embroidered sus-" pender suit. Every little girl’s ward­ robe is supposed to include a sweat­ er. This season sweaters (see the outline sketch) are made irresistib­ ly attractive with colorful yarn-em­ broidered little flowers.® Western Newspaper Union* BROWN AND BEIGE By CHEBIB NICHOLAS Choose beige for your spring cos­ tume, for beige is a fashion-first color on the new season’s pro­gram. Here is an ultra smart en­ semble. This suit is fashioned of Ughtweight cloth in the new beige for which everybody is calling just now. ■ To give it a high-style accent this young woman chooses to con­ trast her beige costume with brown tortoise sheU catalin jewelry. As our Parisian sisters .who a’re past masters in dress have long pointed out the detail is the real secret in achieving style prestige. TWO TONES OF ONE COLOR IS LATEST By CHERIE NICHOLAS Fashion’s latest move is to use two tones of one color for the cos­ tume ensemble. Per example a navy blue cloth three-piece has the skirt and cape of the navy with a Ughter blue for the blouse and the cape Uning.' In the same man­ ner Ught gray is worked with dark, brown or perhaps rust with beige, dubonnet with a related pink and sonon. The Ught-top dress which , is such a general favorite is often de­ signed this season with a skirt of the dark color, the top bodice de­ veloping in a Ughter tone of the same color. Then again the scheme is carried through with the suit, say in brown smartened with lighter" brown or beige accessories, or in navy with Ught blue scarf, gloves and per­haps a ' chiffon scarf veil in the' Ughter blue on the hat for the scarf hat is very smart style for spring. Wear Flowers . . A flower corsage or boutonniere is almost inevitable this spring with your dress or suit. Smart vogue calls for large* flowers to correspond with the huge florals in printed fab­ rics. ' .

The silence that then ensued is the last ever known to have occurred in a barber shop.Barbering establishments of one kind or another have served as gos­ sip centers, from time immemorial. They once were far more important than they are today. Up until the time of the French revolution, bar­ bers not only' cut hair but pulled teeth and performed surgical oper­ ations as well. Many a man boasted that he could “breathe a vein” as well as he could mow a beard. In fact, the barber’s pole is a hangover from the days when the town barber was also its surgeon. The two spiral ribbons painted around the pole represent the band­ages used to bind up the wounds of patients. In those days, barbers used the same instruments for shaving as for surgical work. Customers were asked whether they preferred to be shaved with a carving knife or a pen knife. < In addition to that, barbers during the middle ages often held shaving competitions. Old records say that Robert Hardie of England still holds the all-time quick-shaving mark. He once won a $2,500 bet by shaving six men in one minute and 29 sec­ onds. He claimed to be able to shave one man, no matter how harsh his beard, in 12 seconds. He could also do the job blindfolded, with a carv­ ing knife, in 45 seconds. Selling at Auction T HE auction sale seems to be as old as mankind. We know that it was used at least 4,000 years ago by the Babylonians as a means of securing wives for eligible young men. ■ According to an account handed down to us by Herodotus, the girls of a marriageable age were directed to go each year to the auction mart, where the young men also congre­ gated. There they were sold by the. public crier. The pretty girls were put up first and sold to the highest bidder. This system was really not quite as bad as it sounds. Many a young man who could not afford to pur­ chase a pretty girl was bribed to marry an ugly one, and. the pur­ chase money obtained for the beau­ties was distributed among the homely ones, according to their de­ gree of homeliness. So many an ambitious young man picked up a small fortune with which he could establish his own business as well as a home. Another feature of these primitive auctions was that the father could not choose the man who was to buy his daughter. It was strictly an open market. The girls in their turn were also safeguarded by requiring the purchasers' to marry them on the spot. But after the sale, if the young lady did not turn out to his liking, the law provided that the customer could return her and get his money back. As Good as Mother’s Biscuits K ING HENRY n , of France, was making a tour through the provinces one year with his court. Ordinarily a gluttonous eater, Hen­ ry’s appetite had been very. poor lately, and he desired a new dish to tickle his jaded palate. So he ordered the village baker to con­ coct for him a cake that was not only delicious but unknown to the rest of the world.That put the poor baker squarely on the spot. Ii he failed, the king, who had a violent temper, might throw him in jail or even order his head chopped off. . If he succeeded, on the other hand, he would probably .be handsomely re­ warded. He repaired himself to his kitchen and went furiously to work. He mixed flour, sugar, and milk in, every conceivable way he knew, but the harder he tried, the worse the mixture tasted. In despair, he finally threw down his ladles and went over to the nearest saloon to drown his sorrows. In his absence, his apprentice re­ turned to the bake house from an errand, and found the dough on the mixing table. The master, who had become lost among his wine glasses, did not return, and the boy, fearing the dough would spoil, moulded them in to little cakes and popped them into the oven. ' He was just taking them'out of the oven when his boss came reeling back into the bakery. “What the—have you done with my dough?” he stormed. “I made them into little cakes, and baked them twice,” (bis-cuits) said the lad. They turned oUt to be delicious. The king was greatly pleased, and in a short time the bis-cuit became the national cake of France, as it still is today.

It looks so elab­ orate; I’d be afraid to cut into chiffon like that for fear I’d ruin it.” “Be yourself, Rose. It doesn’t take a bit more skill to make my dress than yours. The pattern ex­ plains everything. You can’t go wrong. I get a double lack out of making a party frock—I feel im­ portant sewing it and elegant wear­ ing it. I couldn’t begin to have so many party clothes if I didn’t belong to The-Sew-Your-Own!” Mother Made Daughter's Dress. “Joanie, dear, aren’t you begin­ ning this party business pretty young?” “No, Auntie Rose, of course hot. I’ve another one just like it that Grandma made for me. It’s red and it has blue bands around it. I'm going to wear it to school tomorrow. “Well, I see where Fve got to get some silks and crepe, pluck up my nerve, and. have clothes like other people.

Hold on to the Handrail Friendship is the handrail up the stairway of life. Grouchy folks are sincere in this; They do not try to hide their bad temper. But that makes them no more likable.

March 3.1903. ________ SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $10# SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ 50 The Record is a Repnblicau news paper every week in the year, not just the when a hot political cam paign is on. ____ When thieves fall out and fight, it is said that honest men get their dues. Don’t know whether this old saying will work under the New Deal. The North Carolina legislature adjourned last week, for which we are duly thankful Now if the Con. gress would do the same thing, we believe the country would be better off. _____________ We feel sorry for the few people in Davie who are not able to take tbeir home paper, but we have no sympathy at all for the fellow who is too stingy to subscribe for his home paper. __________ Husbands throughout the coun try will read with borror that the new feminine Spring hats are on the way, and that the price is even high er than heretofore, and the shapes will resemble chicken coops. The Record is not knocking any one and it doesn't propose to try to put anybody out of business What we need in this section is less knock ing and more boosting; more people in business and a spirit of co oper­ ation. Seems foolish for a ounch of law' makers to assemble in Raleigh every two years and pass a thousand or two new laws when it is impossible to inforce the thousands of laws that are already supposed to be functioning. So far as we can discern at this early date the blackberry crop this year is going to be a prize-winner. The briars look vigorous a n d .healthy and our hopes are nailed .to the dear old berries Without them this old world would indeed - be dessolate. Haster has come and gone, and the next thing to follow Is black­ berry pie time and the 4th of July. Here’s hoping that the blackberry crop will be good this year, for they will be needed. As a man remark­ ed in our office a few days ago, the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. One of our good subscribers told us a few days ago that he wanted us to quit cussing Senator Bailey, that the said Bailey was now on our side. We have the same opinion of Mr. Bailey that we had forty years ago, regardless of how he votes or where he stands on any great issue. It is a sorry man indeed that isn’t on the right side of a question sometimes. The fellow who thinks that every- body has; a job these days is badly mistaken. A small mill opened in oar town a week ago, employing about 35 people. We have been told that nearly two hundred people put in applications for a job. What this town needs 'is a half dozen hosiery, shirt and overall mills, a furniture, chair and table factory, and any other kind of enterprises that can be secured. . Governor Clyde Hoey promised us that we would have a state elec­ tion to settle the liquor question. He also promised us some better election laws, and lower auto tag prices. The legislature did manage to lower the auto tags a fraction— about $1 per year on each car, but so far as honest election laws, liquor referendum, sales tax, ^tp., the old evils''are with us and will be so long as the democratic machine is in power in North Caro lina. : ‘ Some of the boys who were whooping it up for Senator Bailey ' last fall and begging all their friends to vote for him, ate now swearing that he is a traitor to his party ' be- Roosevelt junking the present mem­ bers of the United States Sumreme Court and appointing a majority of New Dealers to take tbeir places Hundredspf democratic newspapers throughout the country are oppos­ ing Mr. Roosevelt on this issue. Iust why any president should want this mnch power is hard to under­ stand. The Record has no paid represen­ tatives traveling over the county soliciting new subscriptions or col lecting for past subscriptions. Our paper is well worth the price charg­ ed for it, and we-feel sure that it <s not necessary to put on any'' high- powered salesmen to get the people to read the oldest and best known paper in the county. The Record appireeiates very much the good work our friends do in getting their neighbors to subscribe for and read our paper We are striving to put out a clean paper that all the family can read. No liquor, beer or wine ads will appear in this paper so long as the present editor and owner is connected with it Appointed Judge. Gov. Hoey, Tuesday, appointed A Hall Johnson, of Asheville, judge of the 19th judicial district, to succeed P. A: McElroy, of Marshall who is retiring on a pension. Johnson was a member of the state senate from Buncombe this year and was one of Hoey’s right- hand men.________. Courage of Their Convictions. Seventy-five of the leading law yets of Raleigh a few days ago came out openly in opposition to the Presi dent’s Supreme. Court program. The big majority of them are promt nent Democratsahd have been more or less active in working for the party in the past.' We admire their courage. The Supreme Court program not a party issue.' Some Democrats and Republicans are tavoring it and other Democrats and Republicans are: opposing it.. The fact that Senator Glass, of Virginia; Senator Bailev, of North Carolina. Senator George of Georgia, and many other outstanding Democratic leaders are opposing the Presidents. program does not make them any less good Democrats. The same thing applies to the lawyers of Raleigh who took such a definite stand on the issue last week. The future welfare of the country should always be placed above poli­ tical welfare.—The State. Under F. D. R. “We are told.’’ says the Yellow jacket, “how to run our farms by people who never ran a farm. We are told how to lay brick by people who never laid a brick. W earetold how to dig ditches by those who never dug a ditch, how'to rake leaves by those who never raked a leaf, how to string wire by those who never strung wire, bow to breed stock by those who never bred stock, how to mix mortar by those who never mixed mortar. They tell us how to do it but they never did it themselves.” Against Roosevelt. Supreme Court mail is a funny, thing. Itw as still running strong in Senator Bailey’s baliwick last week. Thus far, the Bailey forces have received 15.000 letters, most of them from borne. Almost every day the letters have been 93 to 95 per cent against Mr. Roosevelt. One day the percentage was 98—The State. Names Are Names. Strangenames continue to pcur in from the South on Social Security Blanks.'

Ti, A food calorie Is equivalent] to -the amount of beat which would raise, the temperature of about four pounds of water one degree . Fahrenheit. An average-sized, health; man, sitting com- portably In a chair, will spend about 100 calories of energy per hour. This amount of energy, says an authority. Is obtainable from the oxidation of about an ounce of starch or a little less tban half an ounce of tat. “Life in the big cities has at­ tractions that the smaller towns do not furnish,” says Ihe Bellville, (Kan ) Telescope, “but probably the disadvantages of living in a Ctv more than offset them—at least ia the opion of those who have lived where they know almost everyone they see. It is easy to be lonely In the city, although you are sur­ rounded by humanity. But here you are surrounded by friends in stead of simple people You can depend upon them in time of need. They will advise you and help vou. There is little if any danger from robbers, kidnapers and other crimi­ nals. There are no huge theatres, but neithei 'are there any $2 20 seats. Yon can’t buy a six-course dinner, but you need pay only a quarter to half a dollar for a sub stantial meal. There is no metro politian newspaper sold by a news­ boy screaming its headlines, but the paper you read tells about people that you know and love. Yes, the small towns has many advantages city people don’t even know about.” A Beautiful Picture. Did vou ever notice how really beautiful gutn chewing makes a girl appear? Take her de facto, and gazing steadily, one can not find a more ideal picture. With a sharp click I clack ! her teeth, so white and pearly, are dashing together as. with cowish glee, she masticates her cud Then, too, one can note her health tinted, wall-rounded cheeks as they grow a little more rotund, through the material assistance of a big ‘hunk’ of gum. And really, who can imagine a Iairer spectacle than that ot her dainty upturned nose, as it gently rises and falls in wave like undulations over the abys mal depths revealed at each pressure against the mass. Oh how delic iously tempting that rosebud mouth is as the maiden fills it with a sott, pliable chunk, and champing like a festive goat leveling to the luxuries of the succulent tomato can, she greets vou in tones husky With gum.—Gaffney Ledger. Not On The Subject. Cbiet Justice Hughes’ contribu­ tion to the current discussion as to tbe Supreme Court would be of vital importance and consequence if it wete to the point. But it is not to tbe point. He flatly asserts that the present court, no matter though its mem­ bers are as old and decrepit as the President would have the countiy believe, is up with its work and that no additional Justices are, therefore needed to clear the docket of that tribunal. But that, is not tbe issue. It may have been in the picture at the outset, but President Roose velt has now virtually abandoned every defense for his plan of reform except that The Present Court Will Not Rule The New Deal Legisla tion To Be constitutional. He wants a Court that will. And that’s the point and the is sue which Chief Justice Hughes meticulously skirted around. —* Charlotte Observer. Something Has Gone Haywire. We must admit that we are.frank Iy puzzled about the decided change that has taken place in the political atmosphere of North Carolina. When good and loyal Democrats criticise and censure such party leaders of their State as Senator Bailey, various State officials and a majority of the North Carolina dele­ gation in Congress and then whoop it up and howl their approval over the remarks made by a Northern Republican, who has but recently come into the Democratic fold, some thing sorely must, have gone hay wire;:—The State. . ,. .;'A Crisi*. . In: all lives. there is a crisis In the formation of character. It comes from many causes, and from some which on tbe surface are apparently even ! trivial. But the result Is the snme; a j sudden revelation to ourselves of our j secret' purpose and a recognition of 1 our, perhaps long-shadowed, but. now , masterful, convictions. I $2,500. Raleigh.—It may cost the state of North Carolina as much as $2,500 to kill James McNeill, negro murderer McNeill will be sentenced to die by electaocution, and the state, which now executes its capital felons with lethal gas, has no electric chair. Already pier* underway to rig np a madeshift electric chair at cen­ tral prison for what guards call “the most expensive execution in his­ tory.” W. L. Craven, bridge engineer for the state highway and public workB commission, who is responsible for the prison’s death machinery, said the job would cost between $750 and $2,500. Between 1910 and 1935, the state employed an electric chair, for ail executions; but the 1935 general as­ sembly substituted the gas chamber unper a law passed by that body all persons who committed capital crimes after June 30,1935 were to die by gas. But persons who committed capital crimes before that date still were to be electrocuted. When John Pressley, Bessemer City negro, died by electricity on Fri­ day, the 13th, last November, the 26- year-old chair claimed its 170tb, and what prison officials tbonght was its last victim. A few’days later, the chair and all its intricate appurtenances were dis­ mantled. McNeiii committed a first degree murder in Harnettcoiin y during the first half of 1935. He was improper­ ly sentenced in September of that year to die by gas. The state Supreme court recently ruled there had been no error in the negro’s trial, but ordered that he be resentenced to die by electricity. , “ - in SI A seriesof evangelistic-meetings I will begin at the Presbyterian church I next Sunday morning.

From 25. to 50. per cent of the ; blooms on the area' were blackened, as a result of being nipped by the' cold but this will notmean the dam-' age to the crop that one might fear,? raid McDonald, who explained that some some of the,blooms bit - would] recover, and that tbose actually kill­ ed would only serve to partially thin out the crop, which is a practice often resorted to when the yield in prospecV is too heavy.

C / f V I "g P ^ W i <’ / THE DAVlE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Bright S ta r By Mary Schumann CopyTlght by Macrae Smith Co. WNU Service SYNOPSIS Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twenty, ar­rives home in Corinth from school and is met by her older brother, Hugh, He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezia’s sis* ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the care o! three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh's wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his job at the stcd plant founded by one of his fore* bears, Hugh passes Doe Hiller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer secs frequently be- cause of Dome's antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the nest morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char­acter she fears Kezia has inherited.^ Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined girl who is a distant niece of l*‘lu* vanna’s. She happily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father and mother, Cavin and Lizzie, will not approve the match. Hugh and Dor­rie go out to the Freeland Farms to dance with their friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who has been out of work, has a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance together and then disappear for a while. Dandng with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in tears. Apparently she has some secret worry over her husband, Cun, When Ellen and Jerry speak about their engagement to Ellen’s par­ents. Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym­pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat­ter is left pending. Unexpectedly Hugh has to visit a neighboring city on business. Return* Ing home to ask Dorrie to accompany him be finds her telephoning. In confusion she qirck* Iy hangs up without saying^ good-by. She finally agrees to accompany him. They spend a delightful day and Hugh is happy. At a family party, Kezia encounters Jerry. Ellen is disturbed when Jerry Is absorbed by Kezia.Kezia goes out of her way to charm Jerry.Fluvanna is concerned about Keziat who I® evasive about dates she has been having at night. ~ She muses over the resemblance of Kezia to her tate husband, recalling how tem­peramental, moody and improvident be hadbeen. She recalls the tragic picture of hisdeath—how after drinking and gambling to excess he is faced with financial ruin, how he tries to force her to mortgage her resources to pay bis debts and threatens her with a fun. CHAPTER V—Continued —11—“I borrowed the last on that.” “Will you telephone Kimball? He’s waiting.”Her thoughts raced. If she could get away from him until he came to his senses! “I won’t do any­ thing until you lay that revolver down!” He looked at her ana then at the weapon sullenly. “I’ll keep it un­ til you go through V/ith it.” Escape? . . . Escape? . . . Be­hind her was the attic door. Why hadn’t she run downstairs—out in­ to the yard? It was in her mind to gain the maid’s room and lock the door. She whirled and ran up the stairs. ' He caught up with her as she was closing the door, grasped her by the shoulders. “Give me time to think! . . You are frighten­ ing me to death!” she moaned. He placed the revolver at her breast. His face was savage. "You’ll do as I tell you—now!” She had caught the weapon in her hands, struggled with a strength she had never known she possessed. It had gone off with a terrible re­ port.The gun fell to the floor. Jlm stared at her, his arms, his shoul­ ders relaxed. She watched a red stain appear on his shirt—spread. He staggered. Chilling from head to foot, she put her arm around him, eased his fall. All the beastliness was wiped out of Jim’s face. He looked faintly surprised and puzzled. “I wasn’t any good,” he whispered with a half mocking smile. “Just as well I did it” Downstairs she heard running footsteps.He was still conscious when Dr. Carey came. “I did it, Doc—busi­ ness losses,” said Jim. He closed his eyes. The universe did not cease its swaying and a remote and cloudy veil closed down upon her. The doctor kept her in bed; she couldn’t have risen if she had tried. In her condition of shock she was beyond anything that required decision. “I’m sending a nurse for a day or so,” Dr. Carey had said. In her sick fancy she seemed to see a pilgrimage of people, laugh­ ing, singing people, passing along a road, the women wreathing them­ selves with flowers picked by the roadside, bound together by the unity of happiness—their troubles * only inconveniences — while she stood on an isolated crumbling precipice, alone.Presently she knew comfort. But not of earth. The phrases of those on earth who longed to comfort, were kindly intentioned, but inade­ quate. Comfort came from inter-: stellar spaces; through a million million light years it traveled to her, from higher, finer realms of ether. It radiated along the vast and delicate spider-web of thought in whose center dwells Divinity, Warm and soft the comfort en­ folded her. Understanding of e,v- ery aching nerve and shattered il­ lusion, understanding of loneliness sorrow, and disgrace, understand ing even of the overwrought soul who slays a fellow-being. Precious, pure vibrations, healing and up­building, like white fire that glowed, that warmed! but did not burn. . /It came after weeks. She found herself able to rise from her bed and make her way downstairs. The rooms were half dusted, and had an air of neglect and’ disorder The bird had not been fed regularly or his cage cleaned. The geraniums in the window boxes were dry and yellow. The sound of altercation came from the basement and a slap. Kezia’s voice rose in a wail of abused misery. Katie, the maid, came up drag­ ging Kezia by the hand. “Never was such a mean little brat! Into everything!” She stopped, stared to see Fluvanna on the first floor. Kezia, seven, but her baby, a mean little brat? Only a mischiev­ ous, lovable darling! She took a swift step forward and Kezia ran sobbing to her. She heard the story of Kezia’s blowing out a fuse while Katie was ironing her dress for a picnic; she sent Katie back to her work. She sat in a big chnir com­ forting Kezia, knowing the delicious sweetness of the child’s fragile arms around her neck. Hugh came in presently, his lean boyish face too grave for his years, leggy and awkward in his first long trousers. She saw the look of in­ credulous joy in his eyes. Hugh . . . Hugh. Always one child who is closer to the heart. Hugh waa sensitive, had a grave inarticulate idealism—he was shouldering a burden too great for sixteen.He kissed her fondly. Margery was bicycling on the speedway. She shouldn’t, should she, Mother? It was black with cars going forty miles an hour, and if her bike wob­ bled . . .,But she wouldn’t come for him. He would go back and tell her Mother wanted her. That “ JTou’ll Do as I TeU Kou- Now!” would bring her. He departed. In a few minutes Margerj. usually so dainty, came, in shrill and blowsy, her dress on backward and two but­ tons missing. Fluvanna began to laugh. They stared at her round-eyed. Then they all joined in with sheer re­ lief. It had been so long since there had been any laughter in that house. Life was kinder now. All seemed going well. Faintly she -ieard Kezia moving about upstairs; Eric was cutting the lawn now—evidently had finished his work on the car. The sound of the mower came in with steady rhythm, the swish of the grass as it fell. The sunlight was so bright that it had a quality of phantasm. She heard wheels on the drive, the click of a brake, then voices. Small pattering footsteps ran over the porch. She moved forward to welcome Margery’s children.“Billy and Mike has come to play,” a childish voice announced. CHAPTER VI Hugh’s office was a corner room on the twelfth floor of a midtown building, and three great windows gave him a panoramic view of the city.His stenographer, Miss Ruskin, came in. She was a thin girl with an engaging, pleasant manner, a ^crubbed-Iooking freckled face. She was supporting her mother, who lived on the edge of town.“Next -week I want you to get together all the correspondence we have with the Dayton people on that contract. Have it ready by Monday noon. They are talking of a lawsuit and I want to go over it.”Her face looked a little bricky with the flush which spread over it. She bent over her pad. ‘TH have Miss Jones do it—or I’ll work late tonight. Next week—have you -for­ gotten?—I’m to .take my vacation.” “I had forgotten. You asked for the first two weeks in September, didn't you? And what are you doing during your vacation?” ■Her face lighted. “Four-of us— girls—are taking a cabin on Rocky Creek. We’ll cook our own meals go swimming, fishing, just be gen erally lazy.” “And forget all about the ste*’ business?" She smiled. “Yes.”“It sounds like a nice vacation’ (TO BE CONTINV EDI AMERICANS B y E lm o O Western Scott W atson ”'cniSP*r She Modeled Lincoln IN THE rotunda of the United States Capitol at Washington stands a statue of Abraham Lin­ coln. Among all the sculptured like­ nesses of the Great Emancipator this one is unique. It is the only one which was modeled from life and it is the work of a young girl. Vinnie Ream was her name and she was born in Wisconsin in 1847. As a girl she amused herself by sketching the Indians whom she saw when her father, a surveyor, took her with him on bis trips in the West. They were crude sketches but an old Italian who saw them recognized her latent talent and en­ couraged her.When she was fourteen her father secured a position for her as a copy­ ist in the post office department at '$50 a month. She became ac­ quainted with Clark Mills, the fa­ mous sculptor, and while watching him at work, exclaimed, “Oh, I could do that if I had some clay!” Mills told her to help herself and he was delighted with the progress which she made. Then Vinnie Ream conceived the idea of modeling President Lincoln from life. When this was first sug­ gested to. him he refused, but after talking to the girl and becoming impressed with her earnestness, he gave his consent with the under­ standing that she was to come to the White House every afternoon during his rest period. She was not to talk and he was to sit, walk, or lie down to take a nap, as his mood dictated. So for five months she spent part of every afternoon in his study. As he lay on the couch she took life masks of his face and hands. As he walked about or sat at his desk, she- sketched his figure again and again.After Lincoln’s assassination con­ gress decided to erect a statue in his memory and asked sculptors to submit sketches. Many famous art­ ists responded but the work of this sixteen-year-old girl was the one se­ lected. In 1869 congress advanced her $5,000 and she went abroad to study and complete the statue. After nearly two years of steady work she finished it and it was un­ veiled in 1871. When the statue was placed in the rotunda of the Capi­tol an old servant who had lived in the White House exclaimed “the real. Lincoln has returned to us.” Vinnie Ream later married Lieut. Richard L. Hoxie but continued her work as a sculptor until her death in 1914. She made many other stat­ ues and modeled medallions and busts of many notables, both here and abroad. But she is best re-' membered as the only sculptor who ever-modeled Lincoln from life and the pioneer woman sculptor of America. Soldier-Painter IF YOU think of a painter as an * impractical idealist, revise that view before applying it to Charles Willson Peale. Born in Maryland in 1741 he was apprenticed to a sad­ dler at the age of thirteen and was such a good workman that he won his freedom by the time he was twenty. Then he went into busi­ ness for himself and later formed a partnership with a chaisemaker who promptly absconded with all of the firm’s money. To get out of debt Peale next tried clock and watch making and set himself up as a silversmith. Becoming interested in painting, Peale took lessons from a Swedish- American artist and paid for them with a saddle which he had made. Next he spent two years studying under Copley in Boston and then went to England to learn more from the famous Benjamin West. Returning to this country a few years before the Revolution, he be­ gan painting portraits of Colonial celebrities, one of which was des­ tined to make him famous. It was the picture of a young colonel in the Virginia militia named George Washington. At the outbreak of the Revolu­ tion Peale, who was an ardent pa­ triot, organized a company of mi­ litia and became a captain. For the next three years he mixed painting and soldiering, winning distinction in both. Next he went into poli­ tics and in 1779 and 1780 served as a member of the Pennsylvania as­ sembly. After the war, Peale gathered to­ gether all of the portraits of Revo­ lutionary leaders he had- painted— including several of Washington— and started a picture gallery in his home, which was so popular that he had to seek larger quarters. In 1802 he opened the famous Peale museum on the second floor of In­dependence hall. There he exhib­ ited not only his paintings but also a remarkable collection of natural history specimens he had collected. At the age of eighty-one, Peale turned from portraiture to paint re­ ligious pictures,. When he died in 1827 he left behind him a collection if 269 portraits and historical scenes as a memorial to one of America’s greatest ‘ painters and Uso one of her most versatile geniuses. IMPROVED~T— ~ ~ UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By REV. HAHOLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. ’6 Western Newspaper Uniom Lesson for April 4 GOD THE CREATOR LESSON TEXT-Genesis 1:1-5. 25-31. GOLDEN TEXT-In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Gen. l:l.PRIMABY TOPIC—When God Made the World.JUNIOR TOPIC—In the Beginning—God. - INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— God the Maker of AU.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Gcd in Creation. From the-completion of the great Gospel of John, which took us back to that time “in the beginning” when the Living Word “was” and “was with God and was God,” we turn to the first book of the Bible, which is, as indicated by its title, a book of “beginnings.” We find in it not only the record of the creation of the heavens and earth, but of man, and the beginnings of his history, the entrance of sin into the world, the beginning of God’s revelation of redemption. It is in­ deed a most important book, funda­ mental to an understanding of the rest of the Bible..Genesis has been the special ob­ ject of attack on the part of crit­ ics, and especially by those who saw in its account of the creation statements which apparently did not square with the announced find­ ings of science. Fortunately, as men make advances in scientific discov­ ery, as well as in the understand­ ing of God’s Word, they are begin­ ning to realize that there is no real conflict between the established facts of'science and a proper inter­ pretation of Scripture. ,When there is an apparent clash it will be found that either the Bible has been misin­ terpreted by men or they have mis­ taken a hypothesis of science for a fact.We are in error when we talk about the Bible’s being confirmed by archaeology or by science. If the United States naval observatory should find that its master clock does not agree with the observa­ tion of the stars, it would not as­ sume that the universe had gotten out of order. It would know that the clock is wrong, and would make correction. Science does not confirm the Bible; the Bible confirms true science.The account of creation may be considered in two great divisions; I. The Creation of Heaven and Earth (1:1-5).“In the beginning God”—what awe-inspiring words! How fully and satisfactorily they state the origin of all things.(r,-Men ask us to believe their theories, but there is no cosmogony offered which does not call for a measure of credulity. Man cannot explain the origin of matter, the ori­ gin of life, the origin of rational life. These three gr<*at gaps and many smaller ones his theories can­ not bridge. Man asks us to take his word for them. But we prefer to take God’s Word.Study the entire account of crea­ tion. Space here forbids more than the briefest reference to its perfect order and symmetry, its complete­ ness, the self-evident fact that it is a true account of the working of God. It is so received by thoughtful men and women of our day. Even scoffers have long since ceased to speak foolish words about “the mis­ takes of Moses.” n. The Creation of Man (w. 16-23).“Let us” is an indication that the Holy Trinity, was active in crea­ tion. God the Father is mentioned (v. IK the Holy Spirit (v. 2), and without the Son was nothing made (John 1:3).Man was created in “the likeness and image of God.” This undoubt­ edly refers to a moral and spirit­ual likeness. Man is a moral being, possessed of all the characteristics of true personality. He is a living spirit, with intelligence, feeling, will­ power. This image, no matter how it may have ..been defaced by sin, is that in man which makes it pos­ sible for us to seek him in his sin and beseech him “to be reconciled to God.” “Down in the human heart, crushed, by the tempter, feelings lie buried that grace can restore.” Notice that God gave man “a helpmeet unto him,” that he es­ tablished the family as the center of life on this earth. He gave man dominion over the entire creation, and his restless pioneering spirit still carries him on to the complete realization of that promise. He pro­ vided not only for man’s spiritual and social needs, but also for his every physical need. Surely., we may say with Moses that “everything that he (God) had made . . . Was Verygood11l(ViSl). A Man of Sorrow One reason why Jesus was a man of sorrow was that He saw as none other the pain and sin and woe of the world. A Hard Road The hard road of sin is always so crowded that it gives little room for turning around and going back Determination. He'only is a well-made man who has a good determination.—Emer­ son.

Tlie first organ to die after the heart stops pumping blood around the body Ia the brain. This happens In from eight to ten minutes, so that stoppage of the heart for about that long kills the brain and makes the victim a com­ plete or partial idiot, even if the heart later starts up again. Next to die is the muscle of the heart itself, which happens in from ten to twenty minutes after the Uood stops circu­ lating. This marks the time within which victims of heart failure may be revived. Hearts which have stopped for more than twenty minutes are like­ ly themselves to be dead and impos­ sible to start Napoleon Encouraged Canning What has Napo.eon to do with tinned peaches—and all other fruits, flsh and meat we buy In tins? This—that it was he who inspired the idea of pre­ serving food of different kinds in tins. He thought how valuable fresh vege­ tables would be, from the health point of view, to the sailors aboard his ships when on long voyages. So he offered a prize to anyone who could introduce a method of keeping vegetables fresh. The prize was won by a Frenchman named Appert, who proposed the Idea of preserving the vegetables In sealed tins. And Appert’s method of preserv­ ing is still broadly the one followed with all food tinning. — Pearson’s Weekly. British P. O.

Rabies, Unlike RtmaiiiR Fits, Not Sudden Attack The fabid dog Is not generally con­ vulsed. Babies, unlike running fits, does not come on suddenly, but rather gradually develops over a period of a week or ten days of abnormal actions which Anally evolve Into either the furious or dumb form of the disease, advises' a writer In the L03 Angeles Times. Rabies sets In with a variety of peculiar manifestations, In brief, those expressive of anxiety mingled with fear. The dog appears In a troubled state of mind and usually appeals for sympathy. He Is prone to become more affectionate and to excessively lap the hands of his attendants. He wants more petting to appease his dis­ tress. Restlessness is a marked early symptom as is also the fact that he is easily startled. Hecontinnallypaces about, except for an occasional pause. Refusing food, he shows a marked de­ praved appetite for inedible substances such as sticks and stones, or he may chew his bedding. It is often noted that a rabid dog will continually lap woodwork about the ■ house, such as floors and furni­ ture. Thirst is decidedly increased, but the dog does not swallow very much of the water. -This is because he cannot swallow as his throat is becom­ ing.' paralyzed, a condition which will shortly be followed, by paralysis of the jaw; causing it to drop and the mouth to remain open. . -- Few Men Have Knack to / “Never Forcet a Face” The fellow who smirks as he says. “You know, I never forget a face,” it self-deluded. How can he know that he never forgets a face? He remem­ bers those he remembers but that does not prove he forgets none. His delusion that he has a perfect memory for faces can be explained In part as the consequence of an imper­ fect memory, He sees faces that look vaguely familiar. He has met those people but he doesn’t know where. He doesn't remember who they are, how they earn their livings, what happened when he met them. Because he has forgotten' almost everything except the faces be concludes he has an Infalli­ ble memory for faces. A little candid Introspection would teach him that what he has. instead, is a well-devel­ oped capacity for forgetting, says the Chicago Tribune. He remembers peo­ ple’s faces a little better than he re­ members other, and possibly more Im portant tilings about them.. His delusion : is nourished by the fact that every so often he meets peo­ ple whom he remembers but who-have forgotten him. The probable explana­ tion of this phenomenon is not flatter­ ing. It means only that other people’s faces and characters are more mem­ orable than his. TIiey have a quality which makes them hard to forget. Qls face is the kind which Is difficult to remember.

Exploring Earth’s Crust Aids in Geological Work IVIthin recent years there have been Ieveloped a number of geophysical methods for exploring the earth’s crust They are by no means complete In ■bemselyes, but are quite valuable as refinements for the geologic methods They are based upon the fact tha' while light cannot penetrate the grounc ind enable us to see what is below us he rocks are easily pentrated by rlier radiations, such as sound an4 Ieetrical and magnetic forces. These methods are especially val­ uable In prospecting for oil or sul­ phur, writes Thomas M. Beck in the I'hicago Tribune, because of the pe culiar manner in which these two ma terials occur. Oil, being a liquid, occurs in paying quantities only where it is bottled up, geologically speaking. That is, it is nearly always found in layers of porous sandstone, along with salt water, lying between layers of nonporous limestone which keep it from leaking away. Since these lay­ ers are slanting, and since oil' is lighter than water, the oil collects In pools In the uppermost part ef the sandstone layer, which may be an anticline' (an Inverted V-shaped fold) or a fault ine ueavisiae i,ayer The heaviside layer is the region 100 miles above the earth, the air of which being ionized, reflects th e wireless waves downward.

Bauemer , Steel Proceiu r 7 WaS the ^Fiwt Invented Steel IinothIng more thau refined Iron. There are countless varieties of ■teeL produced’" by many -different processes, .the method of production depending.!entirely-upon,.the purpose for-which the Vmetal Is to be used, observes .a writer ..in the Chicago Trib­ une. VrSteel dlffers.-frbm wrought Iron In that It is virtually free/from slag, and ,from pig Iron'because It contains less Vfban 2.2 per cent, and usually less than 1.5 per cent, carbon. By far the' greater part of the crude steel produced In the United States Is made by the basic open hearth process. A smaller amount is made by the Bessemer process, a process Invented by! Sir Henry; Bessemer in 1858. . Still smaller proportions are produced by the so-called add open hearth process, the electric process, and the craclble process. Of the various processes the last named was the first Invented, steel of earlier ages having been produced by ,still, more primitive methods. It was In 1740 that a watchmaker named Huntsman, of Sheffield, England, bit upon the Ildea of making steel by melting Iron In a crucible, or pot. Be­ cause this process was costly and re­ sulted In a very IImIttd output of steel, Bessemer turned bis attention to the Idea of improving metal for use In cannon. His theory, which was put into practice, consisted of using oxygen for refining the .metal by forcing a blast of air on or through pig lrou. On trial the method not only purified the Iron, but Instead of blowing cold and freezing, the metal became hot enough to remain molten even when- all the carbon was gone and hitherto infusible pure Iron remained. Ir took years of experimentation after 1856 before the Bessemer process was a commercial success.
