There has been the prediction that the bootleggers would line up with the drys, for obvious reasons, but now it is asserted that the con­ trol laws are such as to lend en­ couragement to the ’leggers who were not sure of their ground. As one observer puts it: “the controllers who in their zeal to make sales to habitues and crimi nals more difficult, have fixed it so the bootleggers will get theirs. Forthe textofthelaw shows that the convinced drunks, men who have lost their license to drive automobiles, or who have, caused accidents, or who have been found drunk, will be denied the right to purchase -liquor from the ABC stores, and this will make a regu­ lar paradise for the bootleggers.’’ With the thousands who have been in courts and thus barred from the liquor stores, searching’ out their favorite bootlegger, and with the overflow trade that will follow the early closing of the stores, the bootlegger will have a wide and profitable field for their wares. -And thus it is claimed by the drys that the wets have, played into outlaw hands. Certain it is that the, liquor ques­ tion is far from solved But friends of liquor control will have a double incentive to cut into the operations of the bootlegger. There will be the urge to make the, law work effectively in order to assure its permanecy, and then there will he that little matter of driving as much business as possible though the doors of liquor stores in order to milk additional profits that are sorely needed. Maybe the two will furnish sufficient reasons for an ag gressive program of law enforce­ ment in North Carolina so far as IiquOr laws are concerned.—States­ ville Daily. P ro c e e d in g B lin d ly . Senator Vandenburg thinks that the number of. jobless in the nation is five million less than the govern ment claim it is. He estimates that there are not more than three million persons now out of jobs, and adds that bis calculations would seem to indicate vastly less unem ployment that is constantly assert­ ed by the labor department.’’ The chairman of the sub-com­ mittee of the census group says there is no interest on the part of the works progress administration in a nationwide census, no clamor from the census bureau and no re­ quest from the administration. AU of which gives cause for wonder­ ment. Granting that a general census of the- unemployed would be - costly and that when completed would not be dependable because of changed and changing conditions, still it is inconceivable that the administra tion can proceed intelligently and consistently without it. A plan has been suggested that would provide for making the un­ employment census aself perpetua­ ting inventory that would be auto maticaily continuous, but this has found little favor with tbeadminis tration, and again the laity, is won dering why. When the government started out succoirding the idle, by the very nature of things It' was neccessary to strike out Mindly, but there is no earthly, excuse for continuing the government head In the sand— certainly not if the excuse is only political.;—Ex. Reclprodty is a mighty , good thing. Itisw ell to tradewiththe folks who trade with you. P r e s id e n t W ilso n ’s V ie w s. The Charlotte Observer recently published an editorial in which were quoted the views of President Woodrow Wilsou relative to the government and the people: Tdo notwantto live under a philanthrophy. I do not want to ie taken care of by the govern nent either directly or by any in- itruments through which the gov :rnment is acting I want only tr have the right end justice and I vill undertake to take care of my- -elf. . . . I will not live nnder trus ees if I.can help it. . . . I do not care bow patriotic the trustees may oe. I have never heard of men in whose hands I am willing to lodge the liberties of America in trust.’’ Every American citizen could well afford to take those words as his creed - Since Woodrow Wilson’s Jays, however, the trend of opinion apparently has changed consider­ ably. Today, altogether too manv of our people seem to think t'lat it is up to the government to take care of them, regardless of what the circumstances may be. If we keep on traveling at the iate which we have been going for the last few years, we will have very little left of that. “rugged A- mericanism’’ of which we liked to boast so much in the past.—The State. D e m o c ra ts A re H o w lin g There is no doubt the govern­ ment is too free handed with the people’ money. In 1914 the per capita debt of the U- S. Government was $12 The public debt today is $267 per capita, or $34,500,000,000. While all departments have been ordered to cut drastically their ex- oendifures for the remainder of the fiscal year, the President “hopes” there will be no cause for increased taxes. But this is little assurance to the taxpayer in tne Treasury Depart­ ment. The administration is great Iv disappointed in the amount of revenue collected,, and it appears a shortage of from a,fourth to a. half billion dollars in anticipated reve­ nue is imminent. Collections of social sechrity, inheritance and gift taxes have fallen tar short of esti mates. The government is still spending too freely. We can’t get around the fact that the Piper must be paid sooner or later So let’s stop the mad money dance now and have some soft, sad music while we take up collection.—Winston Sen­ tinel.

Salisbury, April 26.—The Ro­ wan county election board today called a special election for May 27 under,the legalization- of dog and horse racing. . ’ Chairman-J. Giles Hudson said the election was’ ordered under' the authority of a local act passed by the 1937 General Assembly. Rowan voted two years ago on a proposal to legalize horse tracks but it was voted down by a slim ma­ jority. A n E x p re s s iv e A p o lo g y . Noone willbegrudge State em ploves the $417 000 that has just been distributed among them a:- restoration of their pay cut for three months back in 1933, but there will be a lot of us who will wish there was a way to recoup losses that, were just as defauite and painful as was the 25 pei cent cut in the wages of the State workers. But the legisla ture has smoothed that ever, the checks are in the hands of the claim­ ants, and the rest of ns, maybe, wil1 share it in the usual channels of trade. Onr only reason for mentioning it at this late dav, is that Henry Burke former assistant director of the bud­ get, and for whom one of these restoration checks were made out, calls it "giving away public mon­ ey.” Burke, who with Governor Ebringbaus authorized the 25 per cent cuts in April, May and June, 1933. says that no promise to repay was involved. “The only 1933 promise was to pay off the deficit brought on by not reducing school pending with possible budget sur­ plus,” according to Burke. However, the »937 General As­ sembly, accepted the view of the late Attorney General Dennis G. Brum- mitt, who ruled that the salaries withheld were a valid obligation of the State, and the members went about the business of making this impressive apology for the cut. We repeat, the rest of us will not begrudge the State workers their handback, but the wage drawers among us will be wishing there was a legislature or sump’n to go back and glimpse the aching void in our pay envelope, just about the same time the State employes were having to get aloug on less.—Statesville Daily. F e a r s D ic ta to rs h ip . One of the most disturbing featur­ es of President Roosevelt’s Court packing proposal, is his frank dis­ trust of the people. He declined to take the voters in­ to his confidence last fall, on this question, although he has since term­ ed it the most important issue con­ fronting the nation. But is silence kept it from being jan election issue. He has since refused to allow the people to vote on th e question, through the medium of State con­ stitutional amendments, the other ticket opposed, with a clean cut choice available to voters. More, distrust of the people. The prohi­ bition amendment was thus repealed in nine months. But President Roosevelt goes even further than this. Like other rulers with the “Dictator Complex.” he does not even trust his Congress. Hence the “blank checks” he has de­ manded—and received—on veter­ ans’ benefits, gold valuation, NRA, billions of relief funds, tariffs, etc. And now blanket authority on Gov­ ernment reorganization and the Jefferson Memorial. These things, together with his rec.nt fight to prevent speaking on the “sit down” strikes, can mean only one thing. President Roosevelt is a candidate for a third term. Look out then for a dictatorship. A man with his proven lust for power, and inability to countenance opposition, can easily persuade himself that the United States would go to the dogs if his firm hand were removed from the helm in 1941. - His distrust of the-people seems to increase, rather than lessen, in spite; 0 f improved conditions. — Washington Herald. W a y n e T o V o te O n Au election has been ordered held in Watauga* county on Tuesday, June I, on the question of opening liquor stores in that /county. It is presumed if' the measure carries, booze emporiums will be opened at Several. Springs, Fremcnt, Pike- ville, Saulston1 Mount Olive and’ Goldsboro. H o e y L in e s U p W ith D ry F o rc e s . .. Aligning himself solidly with the North Carolina dry forces, Gover- -ior Hoey asserted the “defeat of li­ quor stores in the elections soon to be held would be most wholesome beneficial to the whole state.” The statement, issued at the re­ quest of Dr. M. T. Plyler, of Dur­ ham, editor of <h-i Chrisian Advo­ cate, was the first the Governor has rfade on the liquor question since aking office last January. Under the countv option liquor law passed by the 1937 General As­ sembly. counties may vote to decide whether to repeal prohibition. An election will be held in Dare county Saturday; in Durham next Tuesday; in Columbus May 4; Alleghany May 25; Johnston May 29; Mecklenburg June'I; and Wayne June I. The Governor said he believed that any county which legalized the sale of spirits would suffer “such wreck­ age in the character of its young men that the profits derived wi'Tpa’.e in‘o insignificance in comparison with the havoc wrought.” The statement follows in full: “I am vitally interested as a citizen in the elections to be held in various counties of the state on the question of opening liquor stores, and especial­ ly the one to be held in Durham county, the home of Duke University and in such close proximity to the University of North Carolina. Cer­ tainly no citizen of the state will feel that the opening of these stores will be helpful to the student body of these-great institutions, and the parents of the students will be more apprehensive for the security and well being of their sons and daugh­ ters. “I do not believe that the liquor problem can be solved by legalizing the sale of alcoholic beverages. If liquor is an evil, as is freely admitted on every hand, then any effort to clothe it with respectability and set it up as a cuunty agency, must result in greatly increasing its consumption and multiplying the ill effects flowing from its use. ’The revenue or profit argument is not impressive. NearIytendoIIars is sent out of the state to buy liquor for every dollar net in revenue re­ ceived from its sale. It is bad eco­ nomics as well as bad morals. If raising revenue is the chief concern of government the licensing of other vice would be juBt as defensible and would produce more protr. If we are to submerge our moral conscience much money-.could be raised by legal­ izing lotteries and gambling devices generally, and surely we would not countenance such a policy. “Neither the state of North Caro­ lina nor any of its counties are so poor that profits from the sale of liquor are essential for the operation of its governmental agencies. The danger is that the desire for revenue will obscure our vision so that we shall not see clearly the destructive effect of these iiquOr stores. In mv judgment any county legalizing the sale of liquor for ten years will suffer such deterioration in its citizenship and such wreckage in the character of its young men that the profits de­ rived will pale into insignificance in comparison with the havoc wrought. ' “The people of North Carolina can stem the tide of liquor sentiment bv a sane and aggressive fight for tem­ perance, and the opportunity is now afforded for vigorous educational work “Thedefeat of liquor stores.in the elections soon to be held would be most wholesome and beneficial to the whole state.” . 7 0 -Y e a r O ld W a ta u g a D a d .

It’s gcod therefore to pick up a thought from him ever and anon and lay it dowu against the expon­ ents of his party today, measured it against the prevailing notions of governmental functions, and an­ alyze it under the light of present- day political leadership.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MO CKSVILLE, N. C. N ew s R eview o f C u rre n t E v en ts th e W o rld O ver Effect of Wagner Act Validation on National Labor Policy and Sopreme Court Controversy—President Orders Curtailment of Expenditures. By EDWARD W. PICKARDQ Western Nevspsper Union. not absolutely, necessary at this time. “You will report to me through the acting director of the budget not later then May I, 1937, the steps which you are undertaking to reduce expenditures and the amount of the estimated saving resulting g u n . from.” Sec. Perkins \7 ALlDATION of the.-Wagner act v brought the administration up against the necessity of formulating a new national labor policy to pre­ vent strikes and to determine what course shall be fol­ lowed when collec­tive bargaining is unsuccessful. F o r this purpose Secre­ tary of Labor Per­kins invited 33 Ieadr ers of industry and labor to attend pri­ vate meetings in Washington, stating they would be asked to discuss the need of new safeguards for industry to balance the gains achieved by la­ bor under the Wagner act. Among those Madame Perkins invited were William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor; John L. Lewis, chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organiza­ tion; Myron C. Taylor, board chair­ man of United States Steel corpora­tion; Gerard Swope, board chair­ man of General Electric corpora­tion; Harper Sibley, president of the United States Chamber of Com­merce, and government officials. Certain of the President’s advis­ers have told him a law requiring the incorporation of labor unions should be passed; or that at least there should be a law similar to the British trades union act which pro­vides that all union funds must be accounted for to the government and that unions cannot participate in sympathy or general strikes. Organized labor always has op- . posed any such legislation and prob­ ably woidd continue to fight against it. John L. Lewis thinks one result of the Wagner act decisions may be the abandonment of the sit-down strike, though this, he says. depends on the attitude taken by employers in the operation of the act. “Under the court’s decision," says Lewis, “workers now have machinery for adjudication of disputes and th e making of contracts with employers. Everyffiing depends' on the attitude of employers, who showed no dis- disposition to be’ generous although the right of labor to gather together for its protection had been conceded for a lifetime.” . HOW does the upholding of the Wagner labor relations act af­ fect the battle over the President’s plan to enlarge the Supreme court? That question arose at once on an­ nouncement of the decisions and re­ceived various answers. Opponents of the President’s bill declared the necessity for such a measure, if it ever existed, was entirely removed by this showing of liberal tendencies by a , majority of the court; and many' supporters of Mr. Roosevelt admitted that some compromise such as the appointment of two new justices instead of six, might be advisable. But the President him­ self let it be known that he wished his program pushed through without modification. The favorable ma­jority of one, created by the shift «f Justice Roberts, did not seem to him safe enough. This position of the President was taken also by some of his cabinet members. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace declared that agriculture could expect nothing from the Su­preme court as now constituted, and urged American farmers to give the Roosevelt plan their earnest sup­port. Attorney General Cummings de­clared that the four justices who dis­sented from the court’s decision that the Wagner act is constitution­al still constitute a “battalion of death” and will continue to oppose all major New Deal social legisla­ tion.John L. Lewis, head of the C- L O., asserted the Supreme court had demonstrated its “instability” anew and that the Wagner act decisions only made more imperative the need for enlarging the court.Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, whip of ,the senate, predict­ed that the President’s court plan wotdd emerge from the judiciary committee “a much compromised, amended and generally trans­ formed measure.” CHIEFS of executive depart­ ments, independent officers and other spending units of the govern-, ment were called on Iqt President Roosevelt to reduce expenditures up to the end of the fiscal year June 30. In his letter to them the President said:“It is apparent at this time that the revenues of the government for the present year will be materially less than the amount estimated in my budget, messageof last Jahuary; and, hence; the deficit will be far greater than was anticipated: unless there is an immediate curtailment of expenditure. “You will carefully examine the status of appropriations for your ac­tivity with a view to making a sub­ stantial saving by eliminating or.de­ ferring all expenditures which are Premier Hepbuni OOUTHERN congressmen found they were ho longer in the sad­dle when the house by a vote of 276 to 119 passed the anti-lynching bill. The debate was furious and the representatives from the South were deeply resentful. “For more than 100 years the peo­ ple of the South have kept life in the Democratic party,” declared Representative E. E. Cox of Georgia, “and now that that party has grown powerful it turns upon the South and proposes to pass this wicked and cowardly law. Ibis bill is directed just as much against the South as any reconstruction bill passed after the Civil war." The bill was sponsored by Repre­ sentative Joseph Gavagan of New York whose district includes the big negro city of Harlem.' It provides that any state officer who surren­ ders a prisoner to a mob shall be guilty of a felony and subject: to prosecution and severe penalties. In addition, the county in which a lynching occurs shall be liable for $2,000 to $10,000 damages, to be paid to the family of the lynched person. Proponents of the measure were greatly aided by a mob in Missis­ sippi that took two negroes from a sheriff and tortured and burned them to death. The local authori­ ties were supine and called the shocking affair a "closed incident." VfITCHELL HEPBURN, pre- 1 1 mier of Ontario,' reiterating his determination not to permit C. L O. representatives from -the United States to take part in negotiations for settlement of the strike in the General Motors of Xlanada plant at Oshawa, promised to "call out an army if nec­ essary” to protect the property of the corporation. Hugh Thompson, U. A. W. A. organizer, barred by Hepburn, threat­ ened that every Gen­ eral Motors plant in America would be closed unless the Oshawa strike were settled soon with recognition of the union demands. Homer Mar­ tin, president of the U. A. W. A., called Hepburn a number of un­ pleasant names. The Toronto Trades and Labor Council pledged the sup­port of its 40,000 members to the union’s strike against General Mo­ tors. ' Hepburn forced two of his min­ isters to resign, charging they were hot supporting the government in its fight “against the inroads of the Lewis organization and commu­ nism in general.” They are David A. Croll, who held the labor, mu­ nicipal affairs and public welfare portfolios, and Attorney General Ar­ thur W. Roebuck. Axel Hail, young mayor of Oshawa, who has been friendly to the strikers and critical of Hepburn’s action, sent an "ulti­ matum” to President Martin of the Automobile Workers of America de­manding that members of the union in the United States strike in sup­ port of the Oshawa local. The lat­ter body adopted a resolution de­ manding that Premier Hepburn withdraw from the negotiations to make way for intervention by the dominion authorities.. In Montreal 5,508 women garment workers, members of the C. I. O. in­ ternational union, employed in 72 plants, started a strike for higher wages; and in Fernie, B. C., 1,000 C. L O. miners threatened to strike for union recognition. TVt HEN George VI is crowned king of Great Britain on May 12, Robert Worth Bingham, our am­ bassador to London, and James W. Gerard, President Roosevelt’s spe­ cial ambassador to the coronation, will appear in Westminster abbey garbed in silk knee breeches and ordinary evening tailed dress coats. The State department in Washing­ ton consented to a modification of the ruling which bars Americah dip­ lomats, from wearing gala clothes at state functions. The costume decided upon is not full court dress but the duke- of Norfolk, who is earl marshal, will let it go as such. FIR the second time in two years the house passed the PettingOl bill to repeal the “long and short haul” , clause of the interstate cbm-: merce act. This law prohibits rail­ ways from charging lower rates for a long haul than for a shorter one on the same route in the same di­ rection, and it hampers the roads greatly in their competition with water 'and truck carriers for long distance . traffic. i thinks about: California Condors. SAMTA MONICA, CALIF.— Local naturalists are all agog over th e discovery Ihat Hie California condor is coining back in numbers to his former haunts just up country from here. In fact, they are going out of one violent gog right into another. Because the condor, the mightiest winged creature in all North America, was supposed to be practically extinct, along with such van­ ished species of native wild life as the great auk, the passenger pigeon and the lightning rod agent. So now we have set up a new mark for envious Florida to shoot at. For while they may have croupiers at Bradley’s in Palm Beach, with eyes as keen and bleak as the con­ dor’s are, and real- estate dealers in Miami as greedy as he is, our frustrated rivals will be put to it to dig up a bird with a wing spread offmmninetoelev- Jrvin8icobb • • • Communism’s Gallant Foe. HARDLY a day passes but we read in the paper of an ac­count of individual heroism, of sac­ rifice, of devotion to duty—some­thing which renews our faith in hu­ man beings and makes us realize that scattered through the world are splendid souls of whom we never heard before and probably shall never hear again. When the emer­ gency came he rose to it—and that’s enough. But because, in the last few months, we’ve learned to expect it of him, I’m thinking many of us fail to appreciate a recurrent act of gallant service by one venerable, enfeebled man whose name is fa­miliar to all Christendom. From time to time, .triumphing by sheer will power, by sheer singleness of purpose above his own suffering, Pope Pius XI, speaking from what soon must be his deathbed, sends forth a clarion call for a united front against the growing menace of eommunism. .• • • Waning Merchant Marines. AFTER we’ve spent billions in government subsidies trying to build up a proper merchant fleet of our own, it’s just a trifle- discon­certing to read that, among the six nations leading in maritime ship­ ping, the United States still ranks third in gross tonnage, fifth In ships having a speed of twelve knots or better, and last in ships built within the last ten years. But, although Los Angeles is a great port, we have no time right now to pester Bbout a comparatively trivial tiling such as the threatened vanishment of the American flag from the seven seas—not while we’re still so uncertain about who will have the leading parts in “Gone With the Wind.” To date, nearly every lady in the movie colony has been suggested for Scarlett O’Hara except Mae West and Jane Withers, and as for Rhett Butler—well, it may yet be necessary to cast that role as a whole minstrel first part, with an interlocutor and six end men.• • • Italians- in Spain- P' MUST be slightly annoying to those Italian soldiers who were flung headlong upon Spain to fight In a war in which they had no per­ sonal interest, when, through.mis­take, they are mown down in hun­dreds by their own troops, and then the bewildered remnants find them­selves in the hands of the oppos­ ing government forces, who have a reputation for sometimes being a trifle rough with prisoners whom they capture. Still, it must be a great com­fort to the confused captives—and to the relatives of the fallen back home as well—to have'assurance from Mussolini that they are win­ ning the way for fascist doctrines. Until they heard that cheering mes­ sage, those battered survivors prob­ably thought that they had been licked.* • • The Height of Gall.A S J. CAESAR remarked at the time, all Gaul was once divid­ ed in three parts, but it is obvious, that subsequently there was a com-' plete re-consolidation. When France, already in default to us on one little four-billion debt, starts scheming to peddle her new­ est iSsue of government: securities over here, that must indeed be re­garded as the height of gallishness or Gaulishness—spell it either way, reader, it’ll come out the' same.. Moreover, to evade the Johnson act, she would have American investors send the money to Paris and buy- these French bonds there.

They thought it was terrible that men who were striking for higher wages should be beaten and.sluggeti as the farmers at Hershey, Pennsyl­ vania, treated the sit-down strikers. The strikers had closed the choco­ late plants, thus cutting off the daily market for thousands of gal­lons of milk. Fortunately for the country the number of these spineless creatures, charged with official responsibility, is very few. But I mention the fact because therein is a key to some of the things that have been happen­ing in the Roosevelt administra­ tion’s treatment of the labor dis­ turbances. ,I believe no one can support vi­ olence but there can be no doubt that the federal government is charged with responsibility for pro­ tecting rights. Rights are possessed by everyone under our Constitution and under our form of government and when a handful of individuals assume to disregard the rights of others it becomes something more than a situation about which soft ,words and tears for the down-trod­ den worker are required. The importance of the action of the farmers at Hershey, Pennsyl­ vania, cannot be minimized. It is a straw that points which way the wind blows. It means that unless the headlong and unrestrained ac­ tions of John L. Lewis and his labor agitators are curbed, sooner or later we will pay ,.with blood; we will pay with lives of citizens because the American people always have insisted and always will insist upon a square deal.In treating of conditions within the country, it is well always to avoid inflammatory declarations. I hope I am never guilty of unfair­ ness in anything I write. But the cold fact is that, in this country, the time has arrived when govern­ment must make a choice between its functions as government and al­ lowing autocracy of labor leaders to destroy the rights and property Cd the other millions of our popula­ tion. Labor has its rights and they must be protected, but it is equally important that the rights of those who are not members of any union, who want to work, who own prop­ erty, be protected. Thus far in the present labor controversy, it must be said that the Roosevelt admin­istration and the governors of most of the states have fallen short in their sworn duty. There has been much praise ac­ corded Governor Murphy of Mich­ igan for “settling” the strikes in the automobile plants. Yet, I cannot help wondering whether the term “settlement” is correct when strik­ ers thumbed their noses at the courts and when law enforcement officers were told by their superiors to hold off the execution of : court decrees. It seems to me that we, as a nation, will have cause to regret “settlements” of that kind for a good many years to come.• • • I am inclining to the belief that there is only one word capable of _ .. . , describing the at- P ehtw al titude of the Roos- Cpwaxdiee evelt administra­tion in dealing with strikers of the sit down charac­ ter. Labor has a weapon in the strike and it is entitled to use that weapon because too many business interests have refused to be fair. But when labor abuses, instead of uses, the weapon available to it, then the time has come to call them to account just as business interests' are dialled to account when they vio­ late laws. The difference is that the ranks of . labor inyolve millions .of votes whereas, the ranks of business involve only a comparatively small number of votes. Therefore, by any line of reasoning I have been able to follow through, it seems to me that the federal government’s posi­ tion thus far can properly be de­scribed as political cowardice. There are a number of reasons why I think this term is appro­ priate. First, there was the famous night conference when Mr. Roose­ velt returned from his Georgia va­cation and talked things over with the house and senate New Deal leaders. They emerged from that meeting with the President; saying that the federal' government could do nothing; that no federal laws had been violated and that no re­quest had come from any proper authority for federal government in­ tervention. - '• It makes one laugh,-such state-, ments as these. If President Roose­velt and his administration had de­ sired to curb sit down strikes, does, anyone believe that he could , not .have conveyed word to Governor Murphy of Michigan that he was willing to help? I think there are plenty of grapevines by which word could have been sent to the.Mich- igan governor .and,-. I truly-believe, that if there had’ been a request for federal troops, there would have been a distinct change in the at­titude of Labor Leader Lewis al­ most overnight.Further, I have heard from.plenty of lawyers in the house and senate that the decision that no federal law was being violated - was wholly questionable. Those lawyers were quite convinced that Mr. Roosevelt had federal statutes at his com­ mand to use as the basis for ac­tion in the various sit down strikes— if he seriously wanted to get mixed up in the labor row.Then, I am reminded of the very frequent attacks which were forth­ coming from the White House and other New Deal spokesmen , when employers and banks and business generally failed to measure up to New Deal demands in the recovery programs. The President spoke with emphasis on those occasions. He has been completely silent in the current situation.• • • And he has been able to maintain silence through protection given him by political ma- Kept neuvering in the Silent senate. As an in-' stance of this, let me cite ffie efforts of Senator McNary of Oregon; ffie so-called Re­publican leader, in the senate, who attempted to put ffie question di­ rectly to the President. He sought, when ffie senate was floundering and dodging over a resolution con­ demning sit down strikes, to change the form of the resolution from one needing only concurrence, of the house to a joint resolution which is a measure that requires the signa­ ture of ffie President. MajoriQr Leader Robinson was quick to block that maneuvering. No one needs to tell you, of course, that Mr. Roose­velt did not want to have that reso­ lution come to him. So, as a second instance of fed­eral government sissiness, we see a subservient majority of New Deal­ers adopting a resolution which said in effect, "You naughty, boys!-You know it is wrong to indulge to Mt down strikes, to take possession of other people’s property, and we are going to slap you on the wrist for it.” Well, that was a declaration of policy but when-the resolution was before ffie senate .they could not resist ffie temptation to denounce business because they charged it was unfair to labor. , Then, we have another circum­ stance. Representative Dies, a Tex­ as Democrat, proposed a resolution in the house for an investigation of sit down strikes. Mr. Dies was will­ing to condemn- sit down strikes but he wanted to know' what the facts were. Very quickly, many of the weak-kneed boys on the floor of the house smelled a thorough-go­ ing inquiry into labor organizations generally, into political activities of labor groups, into racketeering where local labor organizations are in ffie hands of irresponsible or scheming radicals. So, ffie house sneaked out from under and, as painlessly as possible, dodged mis issue by depositing the Dies resolu­tion on the table from which, of course, it will never be withdrawn. I called these policies political cowardice In an earlier statement in this article. AU of ffie elements seem to me to be present to justify that description. But there is an­ other phase of ffie whole situation. It concerns the future of the poli­ticians who have run away from the real issue this time. I am quite convinced it wUl rise up to hold them in the not too distant future. •. • • In ffie course of ffie discussion of ffie labor controversy, I adverted on — . several occasionsT alk or to the politics that T lurd Term is imbedded in ffie . situation. There is so much of politics to the picture that one hears to ffie under current around Washington a discussion of President Roosevelt’s future plans.' It is curious, but it appears possible, that Mr. .Roosevelt may be forced to run for a third term. Such a course obviously would break all precedents, but Mr. Roosevelt likes to break precedents. He has stated on .several oc­ casions bis ambition to leave the White House in 1940 with the nation at peace and economically:,prosper­ous. This observation has been re­ peated whenever the opportunity was propitious. On the last occa­ sion, there were a number of ob­ servers to Washington who sus­ tained the same reaction to the de­claration, namely, that perhaps— and only-perhaps—Mr. Roosevelt had a yearning to his heart to serve another four years after his pres­ent termexpiree.-One writer, noted for his.direct:expressions, observed that only by constantly referring to his future retirement could the President invite groups to . interest themselves in demanding, him to run for a third .term.S V aan Vnapipif him , Too LateRube—Sally, will you marry me?SalQr-Sure.

It looks down on that cobweb maze of narrow, crooked streets which marks the “city lim­ its” of bygone days, when cows grazed on the Common and clipper ships traded with China and Bom­ bay. In the shadow of modern struc­tures squat many old-slyle shops and “countinghouses,” already weather-beaten when John Hancock was governor. To Boston these are more than obsolete architecture; they are symbols of her busy, au­ dacious youth when she built and sailed our first merchant fleet. Modern Boston sprawls over more than 1,000 square miles and counts some 2,300,000 people in her metro­ politan district. Much of that is in the pattern of other American cities. But the old,Boston, so like parts of ancient London,' is unique in the United States. Come down from the tower now and see how certain of these streets are devoted to a particular enter­ prise. This one smells of hides and leather; along that one you see only the gilded signs of shoe manufactu- turers. One section smells of fish, another of wool, and here is a wharf fragrant with bananas. Turn up the hill toward the vener­able Transcript, with its columns of genealogy,- and you smell newsprint, fresh ink, roasting coffee, and sec­ ond-hand books stacked in the open air—any book from Gray's “Elegy” to “Anthony Adverse.” Ehren the odd wording of sign­ boards, harks back to earlier days. “Victealers Incense,” “Spa,” “Pro­ tection Department,” not fire depart­ment and street-car signs in quaint, stilted English.

For a Kentucky horse­man he carved the image of that rider’s favorite mount; he even carved the “Battle of Bunker Hill” with 50 brier figures on one big pipe!Five workmen in pipe stores here­ abouts have a total service of more than 200 years. “A man is on trial until he has been here 25 years” is a favorite joke in one shop. Quietly another old sculptor works, making “ancient” idols, rel­ics of the Stone Age, even a “petri­ fied man” for a circus in Australia!Turn' back and walk through the cathedral-like First National bank and look at its compelling murals, with their dramatic themes of merchant adventures by land and sea; or study the fascinating exhibit of historic ships’ models in . the StateStreetTrustcompany.Then talk with men whose fam­ ilies for generations have helped shape Boston’s destiny, and you be­gin to sense what significant events, affecting all America, are packed in her 300 years of history.Boston cash and engineering skill built several of the great railway systems of America. Chicago stock-, yards, to a largq degree, were built by men-from Boston. She founded the great copper-mining industry in our. West;-,she was the early home of many corporations, famous now in the annajs of finance, foreign trade, construction, and manufac­ turing.It was Boston brains and money that started the great telegraph and telephone systems that now girdle the globe. Miraculously, almost, she turned the jungles of Central Amerfm and the Caribbean isles into vast banana plantations, and built up the-greatest-fruit industry the world knows.From -Boston went- . groups of thrifty, energetic men/to share in' the conquest of the West. To Kansas, especially', many colonists were sent by the .Massachusetts Emigrant Aid company to circumvent the rise of another slave-state under the Kan- sas-Nebraska act. Lawrence, Kansas, is named for an old Boston family, and many a budding Midwest factory town drew its first artisans from that national training , school for skilled mechan­ics/which is New England. - - Descendants of these- pioneers form part of the army of 2.000,000 visitors, more or less, who flock back to Boston each season and swarm out to the historic towns about it. They want to see the old places where their ancestors lived, and spots famous in the annals of early days: Bunker Hill monument; Faneuil hall; the site of the Boston Tea Party; Old North church; Paul Revere’s house; the tomb of Mother Goose; the site of the Boston Mas­ sacre; the sacred codfish in the Statehouse; and near-by Plymouth Rock, Concord, and Lexington, and the Vfftch House at Salem. Today Boston prints more books than when she was pre-eminently a “literary center.” Manuscripts pour in to her editors. Novels, carloads of dictionaries, and schoOlbooks in Spanish and English, Sanskrit and Eskimo, are shipped from here, of­ ten to markets as remote as Bag­dad. Great Place for Book Printing. Her Golden Age of letters, when Emerson, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Whittier, Holmes and Lowell used to frequent the Old Corner Book Store, passed with' the rise of New York as a market for manuscripts. But curious visitors still seek out Emerson’s old home at Concord;- they prowl through the country house of Louisa M.

You can imagine the volume when you stop to, think that between 25 and 30 million American children alone are enrolled in schools; that they must have some 70,000,000 books when schools open each Sep­ tember, and that Boston is one of the chief textbook-producing cen­ ters in the world. World Center for Textbooks. - “There are many schoolbooks,” said ah official of a publishing com­ pany, “whose sales make that of : a popular novel look diminutive. -They are. handled not in dozens of boxes, but in carloads of 40,000 pounds each. “While some of our novels, ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ and ‘Rebecca at Sun- nybrook Farm,’ for example, have sold more than half a million each, our little :• school pamphlets, such as ‘Evangeline’ and ‘The Couriship of Miles -Standish’ have sold at the rate of a million a year. “The task of getting sufficient schoolbooks ready to meet the sud­den demand every September, when orders come in at the last minute by wire, means that publishers usually begin printing-these books as long as ten months ahead.” “Books made in Boston are sent everywhere that English is used in schools,” said another publisher. “More.than that; in translation, they go to scores of foreign lands.

Prayer—how many are the books that have been written on that sub­ ject and the sermons preached, and yet how little it is actually prac­ticed.- One can attract an audience to hear it discussed, but only a handful will come to pray. We as Christians agree that it is God’s ap­pointed way of blessing. We put up mottoes such as “Prayer changes things,” or “More ,things are wrought by- prayer than this world dreams' of,” and then (may God forgive us!) we try - to change things ourselves. We struggle with problems when we ought to pray. The lesson of today, from the life of that great hero of faith, Abra­ ham, stresses the importance of in­tercessory prayer, that is, the giv­ ing of ourselves to pray for the temporal and spiritual welfare of others. In an ago characterized by a grasping spirit of acquisition for personal advantage it is like a breath from heaven 'to read of this man’s prayer for others. I. The Nature of Intercessory Prayer. 1. It is a Privilege. Abraham had been honored by a visit from God. The covenant had been re­newed, a son had been promised. The three visitors looked out toward Sodom. God who had thus appeared to Abraham in visible form and had shared the hospitality of his home now extends to him the privilege of sharing in God’s purpose. How .glorious to be on such terms of con­ fidence with God, to know him and to know his will and purpose!2. It is a Responsibility. “Abra­ ham stood yet before'the Lord”— why? To- pray for Sodom and Gomorrah. Privilege and responsi­ bility go together. Those who have audience with the King of kings are there to carry‘the blessed bur­den of prayer for others. Are we praying for our children, our fami­ lies, our church, our nation? J t not, who will pray? . 3. It is Objective, not Subjective. Some modem “religious” leaders would devitalize prayer by making it a sort of spiritual exercise which has only the value of developing our own soul. The prayer room is to them a sort of spiritual gym­nasium where the soul develops its strength and a spiritual sense of’ well-being floods the soul. Undoubtedly the very fellowship with God which is inherent in prayer is spiritually beneficial, but prayer actually deals with such things as cities, > men, sin, sorrow. It con­ cerns men’s , physical well-being, their material prosperity, as well as their spiritual welfare. It is the means designated by God for the release of his power on behalf of the object for which we pray. n. Characteristics of Ditercessery Prayer.I. Unselfish. Abraham already had his promise and-his blessing. The cities of the plain were wicked, yet he prayed for them. Those who know the spirit of God are not selfish in prayer.2.. Courageous. Note the rever­ ent boldness with which. Abraham pleaded the cause of the condemned cities. The Bible reveals, that God honored men who had. a holy cour­ age. History tells the same story. We celebrate this year the centen­ary of one who prayed, boldly—and believed, and labored—Dwight L. Moody. - 3. Persistent. No one likes a “quit­ ter/’ Christspokeofam anwho was heaird for his importunity (Luke 11:8).

IN ADVANCE - $ I OO SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - * SO Just think. Next month is June —the month that brings along the good old blackberry cobbler, the Georgia peach and the June brides. The Keptiblican party is not dead but only sleeping. The boys will begin to wake up early next year and begin looking around to see just what can be done. The Record is always glad to donate space to any worthy cause. Of course there is such a thing as riding a free horse to death. For thirty years we have been devoting much time and space to the upbuild iog of Mocksville and Davie county. We shall continue to boost this section of the country regardless of whether our efforts are appreciated. The editor of The Record is not responsible for the views ot the correspondents whose articles ap­ pear in this paper from time to time, although we oftentimes heartily a gree with all they have to say The articles that appear in this column are backed by us Ddtif you want to cuss and abuse anybody for any article you don’t like, just cuss us, because we are used to being cussed and abused and don't mind it. Politics is very quiet in Davie these days. About this time next year the pot will be boiling. A sheriff, clerk of the court, solicitor, eoncty commissioners and a senator and representative will claim the at tention of Davie Republicans. If we are not mistaken Wilkes county will name the senator next year who Is to represent this district. Regis ter of Deeds Turner will not come up for re-election next year, as he was elected last year for a term of four years. From present indi cations there will be several candi dates for sheriff, clerk of the court ' and county commissioners. The present sheriff is serving his third term, while the clerk ot the court will have served ten years at the ex piration ot his present term next year. Commissioners Tutterow and Hendrix are serving their third term, while commissioner Harkey is serving his first term. Attorney Brewster Grant represented Davie at the last session of the legislature. Whether he will accept the nomi­ nation for this office next year, is not known. He made an excell ent record while in Raleigh and could no doubt receive the nomi­ nation again next year if he !will accept it. Farewell Party.

BRIGHT STAR By M ary Schum ann Copyright by U aerit Smltli Cat WNU Servicc CHAPTER VII—Continued ^ 1 6 ■ The afternoon over, she was diz­ zy with remorse and told herself she was a weak, voluptuous woman —like her mother. She wouldn’t see him again. But she did. It became impera­ tive for her to see him. Fright­ ened, she sent for him to exact his .promise to be discreet. It v very easy to allow Cun to take her in his arms while he vowed his discretion . . . Sometimes she had moods of self-loathing when she met some new evidence of Hugh's affection, or of his mother’s confidence in her. Finally these ceased altogeth­er. There were no more struggles to attain the shore; she was swept along by a deep and dangerous cur­rent. The stolen love stimulated her whole being, and Ufe was only a frantic waiting until the next meeting could be arranged vith some degree of safety. Her feeling for Hugh progressed through several phases, apology and pity at first, then resentment that he should possess her person­ ality, and finally hatred, where She magnified trifles, seized on each variance of opinion and attitude to bolster up her own position. She had come to the point where she felt it would be a kind of pleasure to have Hugh know. She had often wanted to tell him—watch his smug assurance that he could fill her life, fall away! The Sunday morning after her declaration to him, she awoke late. The chromium-framed little clock pointed to ten. She looked over sleepily. The bed beside her h_d not been occupied. .Then she re­ membered and sat up abruptly. Last night? Joan and Hugh had been in the kitchen. It hadn’t seemed long at the time, but perhaps it was a half hour. She and Cun sitting on the love seat at the far end of the dim­ ly lighted room, drugged by ca­resses, whispering, had been rath­ er oblivious. They were confident that at the sound of returning voices or footsteps they could rise and casually survey a book, » pic­ ture. Then Hugh’s car had start­ed and he had driven past fhe windows on the drive. Cun got up and went out to the kitchen. He came back with his forehead knitted. “Hugh was sick, Joan says. He must have gone home . . . Funny, wasn't itT I wonder . .“What?” “Could-he have looked in fhe window? No . . . the blinds are down.”“Where is Joan?” “Out there, sitting in a chair.”“Do you think ?” Sie feltguilty and uncomfortable. Then Joan had come in. Hugh had suddenly complained of feel­ ing sick, had gone out the back door. Cun could drive Dorrie over if she felt she must go. On the way home, Cun, who had recovered his . spirits, reassured her. Hugh was too stupid to sus­pect anything. Honestly, it made him laugh the way she led that fel­low around! . . . And probably he hadn’t gone home—just to a drug store for some medicine. Why wor­ ry?' Nothing to worry about. At the worst, she could fix up a story, make him swallow it. He had been with Joan a half a dozen times when she had been uneasy, ques­ tioned him. • A smart girl, Joan— but gullible. He’d call her on Monday at the same time. Hugh there—or other company—say “wrong number” and he’d try later. ■ She rose and putting on slippers and a negligee, ascertained that he was not in the house. His car -Was gone from the garage. . Her fingers trembled as she dialed Cun’s number. She hoped Joan would not answer. In a few seconds she heard Cun’s cheerful voice, “Hello.” “Cun, I must see you at once.” He hesitated, then said, “I don’t hear you very well.” “Come over. I must see you." He hesitated again before he re­plied, “I’m not in the market for a bargain in a car. I expect to run my bus until next spring at least . . . I might drop around and look it over, however . . . This year’s model and only gone two thousand miles? . . . I ’ll see you a little later.” He came in less than half an hour. He was freshly shaved, looked carefree, florid and anticipa­ tory. He. smiled as he entered Uie 'door. “Not here?” t llNo, no one is.” He flung his hat on the hall seat and with his arm around her drew her into the living-room. She faced him determinedly. "Cun,-Hugh knows. He-saw us last night.” “The deuce he did!”“He was packing his bags when I got home. I got him to stay the night, but he. was gone before' I awakened this morning.” Cun''whistled. “Did he take his'things?” “No; they’re still here.”He relaxed from- his tense-atti­ tude, shrugged his shoulders. “I suppose he was furious, looking in #i our little party! ' But he doesn’t really know anything . . . Tou can handle him all right. But it means we’ll have to be more careful in the future.” Dorrie felt a nervous doubt of Cun assail her. “But he- does know. I told him.” .He stared at her unbelieving. “My God, Dorrie1 you told him?She answered a little sullenly, “I lost my head. I suppose I was tired of all this pretending." “What was the need of it? This is awkward. Do you realize what the consequences may be?Hugh’s not a bad fellow. I might like him if he weren’t married to you I . And there’s Joan—and the town — and my company.” He seemed positively edgy and there was a queer, critical curve to Iiia lip.She turned away. “You don't love me!” He drew her back to him, his eyes still troubled. 'Tm out of my head about .you, you know it, you dear golden-haired CirceI But just the same ” . “Just the same—what?” Dorria insisted tautly. “You’ve got us into a sweet mess when it wasn’t' necessary. I’m awfully fond of Joan, as Tve jften told you; I’ve outgrown her— kid marriage. But there are—com­ plications. Alimony — you know Joan hasn’t a cent. And I’m not making a princely salary."“Perhaps she won't ask any,' said Dorrie hopefully. “Can’t count on that.** Dorrie looked about her. ‘Tm awfully fond of my home. He let me get just what I wanted. He couldn’t take it, could he?” Her voice quavered."Afraid he could. Although I imagine Hugh would be awfully de­cent.” She buried her head on his shoul­ der. “I don’t care about anything —only you,” she whispered. “I want to be with you.”His arm tightened about her. Then she felt an unease in his muscles. “This is darn uXen Won’t Let He Dewnt Con?” ous—my being here” he whispered as he kissed her and released her, “But you’re a dangerous woman.” ‘Going?” she faltered. “But w* haven't settled anything. You haven’t told me what to do.*’He paused on his way to the door. “I’ll have to think about it. And by the way, better not call me at the office again. Fll find a way to call you.” He picked 119 his hat. She felt she could not let him go. She, who was so chary of caresses,' felt an irresistible longing to have his arms about her. Her lips trem­ bled with appeal. “You won’t let me down, Cun? . . . Tve grown to love you so terribly. I thought you’d be glad we were free of all this Mding. You’ve said so often you’d give anything if I could be your wife.” He answered with vehement ar­dor, “Darling, I’d lay down my life for you!" She gave a gasp of relief. She loved every motion of his quick agile body, loved his gaiety, his carelessness, his fire that Idndled in her an ungovernable passion/ She would give up her home, her matching rugs and draperies, her Duncan Phyfe furniture, her silver —everything—if only she could have him. “When shall we see each other again?” He twirled his hat. “Dorrie, you must be a good girl- -be sane and sensible.” *Yes—yes?” , "Now you’ve been .rash about Hugh. .-My advice is to fix it up. He’ll overlook it. He’s craay about you.” He stopped at the expres­ sion on her face. “Love you, pre­ cious?. . . . Good Lord, yes. But I can’t move hand air foot now! . ; We’ll not see each other for a while. Perhaps things will blow over.” - He was shedding things with his easy optimism, escaping her. She watched him go with a hurt curve on her red lips, , and a stony feeling in her chest. Her thougbs flew here arid thers like frantic caged birds. Hugh— there was only Hugh. (to be a m m v m . Silk Prints Lead the Style Parade By CHERIE NICHOLAS JUST one dazzling, color-gloried silk print after another is what’s happening in the fabric realm this season. The new prints are more fascinating than ever, and try to re­sist them- and do- you? You do not. The urge for another and another in your wardrobe ever keeps on keeping on.To add to the excitement, couturi­er and dressmaker are -devising ways of making up these silks that are so artful and fra'ught with such high-pressure novelty the world of fashion is being cast into new throes of enthusiasm every time a style parade of last-minute costumes is staged.A favorite treatment is pleating and when you pleat printed silk you multiply the beauty and intensity of its coloring to a thrilling degree. The all-around pleated _ skirt is a favorite topic with designers who are styling the new gowns of silk print. Even if you are making your dress yourself it is a goo<$ idea to have the skirt pleated, and it is almost a certainty that you will be pleased with results. Ifre charm­ ing dinner dress to the left in the picture is fashioned of a water col­ or print silk crepe with separate jacket and pleated skirt. Another dressmaker treatment adding untold interest to print en­ sembles is the self-print lining. To achieve a maximum of practicality and wearability these coats with linings matched to the print of the frock are made reversible. You turn them inside out and vice versa. See the idea nicely worked out in the model centered in the group. The silk print is highly colorful and the monotone cloth of the coat re­ peats the background tone of the print. Then there is this reigning vogue of the bolero. Dressmakers and de­ signers are turning out the bolero frock of silk print in vast numbers. You’ll love a print silk bolero frock. Flattering it-will prove to be and practical. See the model to the right in this group. Here is a bolero frock of feather silk print. The dark grounds such as this with wide­ spaced motif are especially smart and attractive and wearable. The bodice buttons to a high neckline. The bolero has peaked shoulders and elbow sleeves. Note the red silk chiffon handkerchief in the but­toned pocket of the bolero. The cir­cular skirt of the dress has em­ phasized creases. The straw bonnet has flowers massed at the front. Which calls to mind another feature designers are emphasizing, that of having flowers somewhere in the picture that are related in color to the print of the silk. This may be a corsage, a gay posy cluster at the new low of a neckline or it may be a bouquet played up in con­ junction with a vivid gypsy sash tied at the front. One of the outstanding innova­tions in'the realm of print silk cos­ tumes is the ^redingote fashioned of matching print, the small figured being smartest for day wear. This redingote, while it tops off the dress of self print to a dramatic climax, will prove one of your happiest pos­ sessions to be worn as a separate coat or wrap over the monotone crepe cress on cool spring days and later on serving admirably as a summer wrap worn with dainty lin­ gerie frocks. It is good style, too, to wear over your navy or crepe afternoon dress either a bolero of tlye-impelling silk print or a hip-length jacket if you prefer. The latter should be slightly fitted to be up to the mode and they are especially smart, when but­toned down the- front. The silk print idea enters into ev­ ery phase of fashion this season. You are encouraged to wear gay print from the tiptop of your head down to your feet.• Western Newspaper Union. BLUE TAFFETABr CHEEIB NICHOLAS Fancy turns to the sotithern-belle. type of dress for evening wear. Here is a charming specimen of the quaint and picturesque type that is proving such a general favorite... It is made of silk taffeta in a delec­ table soft-toned medium blue. Young girls are showing a prefer­ ence for sprightly taffeta and they love the way the little puff sleeves stand up in lively taffeta manner. Square necklines are much in evi­dence this: season. This’ one is ac­cented with rhinestone and enamel flower-pins and there is a match­ing bracelet. GLOVES TO MATCH YOUR SPRING SUIT By CHEBIE NICHOLAS doth gloves to match spring suits are the latest news from Paris. An extra piece of material, ordered when the suit is bought, can be made up in any size or style, short or with deep gauntlet cuffs. Square fingertips are another. innovation. The finger may be stitched at sides and straight across the top, giving a casual, out-of-doors look, especial­ ly popular in gloves of doeskin or chamois.Half - finger gloves, which made their appearance last winter’ in the guise of lace mitts to go with gowns of the southern belle type, are now -an established vogue. Tliey are shown in pigskin and chamois for sports wear, and in suede for dress. The gloves extend as far as the finger-joint, revealing brightly pol­ ished nails. Very convenient when it comes to picking up a dropped coin, fitting a key or writing out a check. Polish, in cardinal or burgundy may be worn to match or contrast with the gloves. Further independence in glove fashions is exhibited; in the uncon­ ventional treatment of seams along the back of the hand. These vary from two or three seams running ^cross instead of up and down, to -one crosswise seam with two short ones in the usual direction. TInyWatchesAreFitted , to the Latest In Gloves Small jeweled watches are being worn everywhere but on the wrist these days. Spme of the new tailored suits with heavy cuffs have a small detachable watch encased over the left wrist. Many of the new cigarette cases have small; watches fitted on the outside, while purses 'and gloves that are fitted with watches have been shown for several months.

Raleigh. —Church leaders in the state faced the charge that “too many” members of their congre­ gations have hindered the fight a gainst liqnor because they them selves “ want a drink.” Delegates to the Raleigh district Methodist Conference heard the charge in a renort by T- H. Brid gers of Henderson, chairman of the the temperance committee “The reason the church is mak ing a poor fight against liquor I that too many members, deep down in their hearts, want a drink and many are gratifying that desire,” the report said. Men do not fight what they wan(, arid we are forced to view with a- larm the increasing use, of liquor since repeal bv all classes.” Governor Clyde R. Hoev, who voiced hope liquor stores would be defeated bv county vote, made a brief address on church work to the 500 delegates.

It won’t be long now umi! thous- inds of boys and girls in North Car­ olina will be finishing their work in the public schools. What then? Will ths commcncemen) orators pic­ ture for them a world waiting for .he touch of their magic hand or will they follow the example of a man high in school leadership in this State and tell them that there is only disappointment ahead? ' Measured by past exoerience on Iy obous ten out of each hundred iViIl be able to continue their stud­ ies in the colleges in the - colleges and universities. How will the re­ maining thirty chart *tbeir course? A few days ago a Raleigh con tractor announced that' he could use forty good brick masons and twice that many dependable car­ penters. At last report he was still shy ot his needs. Even under recovery, white-col- iar jobs are none too pleutiful, the professions are crowded and other vocations which offered opportuni­ ties to the educated man no longer are searching for him But if these youngsters only would see it, there is romance to be found in front of a machine— and the opportunity to render, pa triotic service to the nation. The tiowel can be made to turn in a wage at the end of the day that will make white-collar pay look like two-bits with a hole in it, and there should be satisfaction in the building. In this new'day' labor is given a place of importance almost on a parity with-executive management, but there is the danger that thru faulty leadership labor eventually will lose this prestige. It is with­ in fhe scope of these youngsters to hold labor to an even keel; to sit down -with management and soeak a common language; to make bar­ gains and keep them and thus em ploy their minks as well as their hands in a patriotic service which also remunerates them with ma terial values It takes pluck and energy, ot course. One cannot learn a trade over night.' There must be a te dious apprenticeship {and constant improvement if the ultimate goal is to be-reached. But if and when success comes, having a trade will not be a handicap, and when sue cess fades, as it has a habit of do ing, that trade will become an as­ set again. Here in North . Carolina the brick making industry has been seeking to interest some of the schools in a practical course in masonery. It is significant that the main . re­ sponse has been from Negro , insti tutions. That can mean only one thing; eventually contractors will have'only one recourse, - and these white youngsters-who are leaving the schools this month will see these choice wages going into oth er pockets all because they didn’t have the fortitude to make a hard choice. The door of opportunity for A merican youth is by no means dos­ ed. He can become an asset to in dustry. and so recognized, and as suah his opportunities for public service are unlimited.—Statesville Daily. Budgets and Taxes, The President’s message to con­ gress recommending a curtailment of government expenditures down­ ward toward a balanced budget should get the people of this coun­ try to thinking about the financial condition of their government. Government officials, as a gener­ al rule, proudly point to the rapid recovery from the depression until the matter of finances and taxes is brought up. Then it seems that other great sums are needed to get us further out of the hole. But there is a growing desire on the part of the people for getting gov­ ernment spending back toward nor­ malcy. Heretofore they have been demanding too much from govern­ ment, which in the final analysis is less efficient than any successful business organization. Senator Reynolds made the fol­ lowing comment in his radio ad­ dress: A citizen lights his taxed ' ciga rette, waves a morning, farewell to his family w<th a promise to take them to taxed movies, enters his property taxed garage, starts his taxed automooile with taxed gaso line and leaves for his office for a conference with his tax adviseis. At noon he goes to a taxed restau rant and joins his friends for a dis­ cussion of the tax' situation At four comes a bottle of taxed - beer, followed by a meal of hidden-taxed food, the taxed movies- and tax dreams Andthepitiicl spectacle of that is, he never knows just, what taxes he pays. He should know, and when he does—thiough a broad tax baee, Mr. Citizen will have a new interest in government in its functions.” ’ Senator Reynolds was talking a- bout taxation. Now let us turn to the spending side and quote the following from an editorial in the Skyland Post: 'We personally know of one family now on relief who have been offered a house and a small farm, rent free, with farming on the shares, but who refused' it because it was not close enough to town and the work was too hard. Nor can we understand how the labor situation can be so hopeless if thou sands can afford to quit jobs that pay as well as automobile factories do and -go on strikes Too much money is dangerous for those who have never hah it. Nothing can make a fool of people any quicker. On the other hand, those in real need find that nothing can help brighten their outlook on life more than money, nor would any of us, begrudge these. dwerinng^ needy one cent of the biilion - anil'. a half if it is aopropriated.’ ’- J;' Cutting down relief expenditures should be by a weeding out process of those who can and should find other means of support No one should be allowed to suffer, but no one should be allowed to suffer, but no one should be paid out of public funds when he is able to make his own way. - Ex. ed several piano selections. - Grape juice, cake and mints were served.

Ark —Accused of smashing two liquor store windows. Rev. William D. Gray, 59 year old Methodist minister of nearby Vesta, Ark., told Municipal Judge J. A. Gallagher today that '^a brick was there and I felt- the Lord wanted me to throw it ” The minister testified he was ''seized with a desiie to destroy a liquor store every time I see one” -DeDUty Sheriff Otto Kuykendail arrested, him at his Vesta church Sunday night. Gallagherfinedthe minister $100 for malicious mis­ chief and said he had committed him to jail for failure to satisfy the judgment. ApplesTurnto Potatoes. A certain young twig of the.town decided to carry a couple of our fairest young ladies to the com­ mencement one night last-,week Realizing that the young ladies might become hungry, the twig got busy and purchased a bag of fine apples, which he left in the store until ready to start A little latei he came by in a hurry and grabbed up his bag of apples and went on his wav rejoicing. After starting on his return the young man reach­ ed down into the foot of the bugg> and brought forth the bag of apples He selected a large, juicy fellow and took a big bite, when Io and behold, he was amazed to find that he bad carried away a 50 cent bag of Irish potatoes that was the property of another party. The young man don’t know how it happened—but it did.' - The mention of potatoes is his fighting word, and the word ‘'Irish” brings blushes to the cheeks of the two young ladies. Urges Jury To Have Faith In God. Raleigh —Judge I. M. Meekins of federal district court urged the grand jury here to “have faith in God Almighty, onrselver and our Constitution as well as faith in A merica.” The judge did not refer to Pres ident Roosevelt’s proposed Supreme Couit reorganization program but said: “There is nothing in the Consti­ tution about the ages for judges, but it is specifically provided they can serve as long as they remaiu of good behaviour; It is reasonable to assume no judgejwould be named unless he was of mature age. and there is nothing in the law for the reduction of a judge’s salary. ‘’The court' has not power. It can’t enforce the law; all it can do is to say what are the laws.” Judge Meekins said the Supreme Court had heard something like 400.000 cases but that only 77 dealt with questions’ on: the Constitution. Make Our Town Safe! During 1936, traffic deaths and accidents reached new highs. Yet a number of cities and towns man­ aged to lower casualties in spite of the general trend. Six of these cities in different population brack­ ets, were the winners of the Fifth National Traffic Safety contest. Outlines of the programs pursued by these communities have been pub­ lished. The program of the smallest town !receiving a prize, Wilmette,' III., is of exceptional interest in that it could be pursued, in a modified or enlarged manner, by practically every community in America. Wilmette reduced its accident deaths exactly 100 per cent—from three in 1935 to none in 1936—and its injuries 31 per cent. It adopted the following plan: Law enforcement was strict—ar­ rests totaled 152 in 1936 as against 51 the preceding year. Magistrate and prosecutor cooperated vigorous­ ly. High school students convicted of dangerous driving were “fined” by making them write these on Safety. TraflSc checks were make peridi- caliy, and when necessary the streets were widened and resurfaced. All members of the police force attend­ ed classes in accident prevention. The village conducted a drivers’ safety school in cooperation with three other nearby villages. The; police department was. kept free from politics—no one had a "pull.”'' ''Extensive accident prevention work was carried on consistently in schools. Here is' to synopsis of the' kind of safety program that produces, re­ sults. No community : is too small to follow the principles laid down, in an effective manner. Let’s make our town safe! The Record is only $1.00. Farmington School Finals. Farmington school closed its r9j6*’37 term, on Monday evening, April 26, with the graduating ex­ ercises, with Dr P. E ' Lindley. Dean of High Point College, mak ing the address. Other events ot commencement, preceding the gra dnating exercises, were: On Fri day evening. April 16 , the Pi a • Recital, by pupils of Mrs. Norma Brock, on Thursday evening, April 22 the Senior Class Exercises, a playlet, “Gypsies lor a Day,” on Saturday afternoon, April 24, the Reading Contest; on Saturdayeven ng, the Senior Play, "Trouble in Paradise,” and on Sunday - afert. noon the Baccalaureate sermon, de­ livered by the Rev. N. C. Teague, pastor of the Southside Baptist hurch, Winston Salem. Following the Reading Contest on Saturday afternoon, the various awards for the year were made. The perfect attendance certificates were given. Hollis Pilcher, read- .ng “A Temporary Permanent,” was announced winner of the after­ noon’s contest and her name is to be engraved on the school Reading Trophy. Basketball awards made to one member from the boys team, and to one from the girls team, on the basis of athletic ability and sportimanship, were presented to Johnny Smoot and LaVada Harpe. The Scholarship medal was won by Charles James, a freshman, who has made an average grade of 96 9 per cent, for the year. These commencement exercises closed a very successful and satis factory school year. Particularly gratifying was the attendance re cord The splendid co-operation of the parents, along with other fac­ tors, resulted in much -better at­ tendance than that of recent years. Fifty perfect attendance certificates were awarded-, and the. average attendance for the entire school for the year just closed was slight­ ly mone than 90 per cent. Con sidering the unfavorable weather and the resulting handicaps, this record is quite commendable. Asa result ot the increased enrollment and attendance, a n additional teacher for the elementary grades was secured soon after the opening of school. ■ Another improvement, long need­ ed has been- aud is still—under way on the school grounds. The W. P. A. project for draining and grading the grounds will soon, it is hoped, provide the 'children ade­ quate room for recreation. The school itself has contributed $95 to the project. The Farmington Woman’s Club served the Junior- Senior Banquet and donated the entire proceeds to the playground project. The Junior Class sold candy, under the leadership of Mrs Willlard and after financing their class projects, donated $30 to the school fund. Additional money for the school ground, improvement was supplied by the proceeds from a play, “Mama’s Baby Boy,” pre­ sented by the school faculty. The school authorities are high­ ly grateful to everyone who, in any way, contributed to the success of the yeat-’s work. Against Making The World Safe For Hy- procrisy.

When they stage a fish fry over in Davie county they make it a real event. Dainty nibblers and mincers would probably feel very much out. Of-Place at one of those- gatherings because all formality is dispensed with and the only business of the occasion is cooking and eating fish. Winston Salem s'Chief of Police Anderson would have no doubt been proud of his father it he could have seen him in action at the fish try of the Men’s Bible Class of the Center Church, Davie county Methodist circuit. Saturday evening. Garfield Anderson held his own with the best of them, and that par* ticular Bible class, numbers among its members some of.the outstanding fish eaters in all of Davie county. Another of the contenders for championship honors was' R. D. Peeler, of Winston Salem Despite the fact there were 100 pounds of fish ready for the approxi­ mately 59 class . members, their wives and several invited guests, the amount of fish left over was sur­ prisingly small The cooking was done over an open fire laid between railroad cross- ties near tbe church. And, despite the fact it was announced as tbe Men’s Bible Class fish fry, not a man touched a skillet. The wives did all the cooking, set tbe tables and even opened tbe pickle jara. The fish and accessories, includ­ ing corn bread, slaw, pickles, coffee, were served on a long table. Several erstwhile claimants to near-championships among Davie county fish consumers were Monday still joshing Rev. M. G. Ervin, pas­ tor of tbe church, who atfc fish with the best of them, and then was un* able to hold preaching services at the church Sunday morning on ac­ count of an indisposition. Birthday Dinner. Sunday. May 2nd, relatives of Mrs. W. H. Howard gathered at her home in Cana to celebrate her birthday anniversary. A long table was made under the big oak trees in the yard and by 12:30 it was loaded witha bountiful supply of good eats.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD O WcMeni Newspaper UnIaaL' President Roosevelt REVISING his budget estimates for the fiscal year 1938, Presi­ dent Roosevelt told congress in a special message that the deficit prob­ ably woidd amount to $418,000,000 ex­ clusive of debt re­tirement payments of $400,000,000, in­ stead of the “lay­ man's” balanced budget he predicted in January. He rec­ommended the ap­ propriation of $1,- 500,000,000 for relief; and he demanded rigid economy to combat an antici­pated drop in federal revenues amounting to $600,000,000. Mr. Roosevelt also said there must be a careful survey of the nation’s tax structure, and intimated that a new tax bill would be introduced at the next session of congress.In correcting the over-estimation of revenue and the under-estima­tion of expenditures, the President indicated that the national debt will rise over the 36 billion dollar mark. Though he made no specific rec­ommendations as to economy, the President spoke sharply about “spe­ cial groups” who are exerting pres­sure to bring about increases in government expenditures. It was understood he referred especially to the farm tenancy program, propos­ ing an annual expenditure of $135,- 000,000; the Wagner housing bill, calling for an expenditure of $50,- 000,000 a year, and the Harrison- Black education bill, calling for allocations among the states begin­ ning at $100,000,000 for the first yerr and reaching a maximum of $300 000,000 a year. Mr. Roosevelt had rejected the! c measures at a White House confer­ence and his attitude provoked vi rious prominent senators and'rep­ resentatives so much that they de- Hared they would favor cutting dbwn the relief appropriation he asked to one billion dollars. Among the Democratic leaders taking Hiis stand were Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, represent­ ing the appropriations committee, and Senator Pat Harrison of Mis­ sissippi. Said Senator Byrnes: .“I think the President’s estimate of one and a half billion dollars for work relief is too high. It would make possible a monthly expendi­ ture of $125,000,000. Eadi month it will be possible for Mr. Hopkins to further reduce the number on the relief rolls and consequently reduce the expenditures. ‘It is my purpose not only to urge that the work relief appropriation be limited to one .billion dollars, but that Ihe law require larger contribu­ tions from the sponsors of projects. If the sponsors could be required to put up 50 per cent of the cost of the projects, we would not have appli­ cations for a billion dollars during the next fiscal year.” . Senator Joe Robinson, majority leader, made an earnest plea for economy in all directions; and Sen­ator Charles L. McNary, Republi­ can leader, assured Senator Rob­ inson that the Republicans would co-operate in every way possible with the Democrats in their “be­ lated” efforts to balance expendi­tures with income.In the house the economy pro­gram lest a point .when Represen­ tative Vinson of Kentudqr succeed­ ed in getting through his $1,000,000 stream pollution bill. TWO cabinet members were quick to comment on the Presi­ dent’s economy orders. Secretary of Agriculture Herny A. Wallace forecast an immediate curtailment of the administration’s farm activi­ ties. Federal aid to farm tenants, production control and tiie ever-nor- mal granary are among the proj­ects to feei the economic ax, Mr. Wallace said. He is still hopeful that the crop insurance program, to be applied to the 1938 wheat yield, may be salvaged. Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper and his first assistant, Ernest Draper, joined in predicting that business recovery will not be re­ tarded by the apparent inability of the administration to balance the budget in the 1938 fiscal year, as the President anticipated in January. They said they regarded- lagging treasury revenuesas a temporary condition and added : / . “The present headway of business is so strong that it will offset the effect of a probable deficit.” PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT an- 1 nounced his plans for another fishing trip, to begin April 28 and last two weeks or longer. This time he is/ going to angle in the' Gulf: of .Mescicq while - congress struggles with his' latest recommen­dations. After leaving Washington his first stop will be at Biloxi, Miss. From there he will go by motor to New Orleans, pausing en route at Beauvoir, the old home of Jefferson Davis that is now a home for Con­ federate veterans. At New Orleans Mr. Roosevelt fell board the Pres- Gen. Franco identiaL yacht Potomac and cruise out into‘the gulf after - tarpon. A navy cruiser will accompany the yacht. The fishing trip will end at Galveston and Mr. Roosevelt will go from there to Fort Worth to visit Ms son ElliotL While the Potomac is at sea Sec­ retary McMtyre will maintain head­quarters at Galveston with a small staff. Ne v ille cham berlain, Brit­ ish chancellor of the ex­chequer, introduced 'in parliament the biggest budget since World war times, and gave warning that na­ tional finances for several years to come would be dominated by ex­ penditures on armaments. He said that the government will require an outlay of 862,848,000 pounds (about $4,314,240,000) to carry out its plans and pay its expenses dur­ing the next year. Revenue obtain­ able he estimated at 847,950,000 pounds (about $4,239,750,000), leav­ ing a prospective deficit of 14,898,000 pounds (about $74,490,000). Chamberlain said the taxpayers would have to pay 3 pence more on each taxable pound of income, bringing the tax up to 5 shillings, or 25 per cent. He also announced a new tax on business profits, and this especially was bitterly attacked by the Conservatives, led by Sir Robert Home. They argued that it would demoralize industry. P RANCISCO FRANCO is well on 1 the way to becoming a real dic­ tator of the part of Spain his insur­ gent forces control, and of the en­ tire country if they win the war. By de­ cree the general has merged the two chief rightist fac­tions under his Iead- ership and has out­ lawed all other par­ ties, thus creating a one - party authori­tarian state. His de­ cree left open the way to restoration of the monarchy in Spain “if the nation needs it,” and the monarchists of the Carlist and Bourbon persuasions agreed that if this takes place, the king shall be Prince Juan, youngest son-of Alfonso XIII. He is known as prince of the Asturias and is twenty-three years old. “The new Spaip needs a new king,” said a Cariist leader. “We traditionalists prefer the prince of the Asturias, who is a known sym­pathizer with the ideals of the new Spain.” /rJ OV. LEWIS O. BARROWS of Maine has lined up with other state executives who will not stand for riotous and illegal tactics by strikers.. When an unruly mob of 1,000 men tried to storm two of nineteen factories in Auburn in­ volved in a general shoe strike and the local authorities were un­able to handle the situation, Gover­nor Barrows ordered out eight com­ panies of the National Guard. "I’ll.order out the entire military forces of Maine, if necessary to pre­serve constitutional authority,” the executive said. “When there is open defiance to the orders of our courts and our officers of the law, there is Uttle difference from anarchy. We shaU not tolerate this situation for a moment.” The trouble followed a state Su­preme court injunction, issued by Judge Harry Manser, outlawing the shoe strike wMch affects about 6,- 500 workers. The mob had been ’aroused by speeches by Powers Hapgood, New Eingland secretary for the C. I. O., and other organ­izers. W FORBES MORGAN, who * was the able treasurer of the Democratic national committee during the 1936 campaign and who resigned to-take the presidency of the Distilled Spirits Institute, died suddenly in a committee room of the Ohio state capital in Columbus. Mr. Morgan, a relative-of Mrs. Ehranklin D. Roosevelt by marriage, was a major in the World war. DY UNANIMOUS vote, nearly 4,- " 000 Daughters of the Americab Revolution, in their forty-sixth an­nual congress in Washington, adopt­ed a resolution opposing the -Presi­ dent’s Supreme court enlargement bin. It declared against “unbal­ancing” the federal tripartite ays tern of government and favored sub­ mission of the issues raised by the President to' the people through a constitutional amendment. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT sent 1 to the senate the nomination of Mrs> Florence Jaffray Harriman of Washington as minister to Norway. She is the widow of J. Borden Har- riman, New York banker,, and has been active in politics for a num­ ber of years. Anthony J. Drexei Biddle, Jr., who now holds the Nor­way post, was nominated to be am­bassador to Poland. Ibm ki about A Yes-Man's Paradise. SANTA MONICA, CALIF.—-If, as, and when Hte President puts over his scheme for recoil structing the Supreme court nearer to his heart’s desire, the question arises—in fact, has al­ ready arisen—as to where he’s going to find members who will keep step with the New Deal’s march of triumph. Might this earnest well-wisher make a suggestion? Let the Presi­ dent look Hollywood over before making his selections, for this is yes-man’s land. Some of the studios out here are so crowded with yes-men that big yes-men have to tote little yes-men in their arms. There’s only one or two drawbacks to this plan, as I see Jrvin s> Cobi, it. It’s going to be hard to wean the local appointees from wearing polo shirts along with those long silken robes. And they’ll insist in a preview for each deci­ sion.• * * Domestic Pets. A BROOKLYN judge has decid- I * ed that for a couple to keep eighty-two various animal pets in one apartment is too many—maybe not for the couple, but for the neigh­ bors—yes! That reminds me that once, in a hotel in the Middle West—not such a large hotel either—I found fully that many pets in my bed. They weren’t assorted enough; they all belonged to one standard variety. I shall not name the hotel, but it was the worst hotel in the world, as of that year. H bad hotels go where bad folks do, it’s now the worst hotel in Hades.But the point Tm getting at is that, though eighty-two animals may make a surplus in a city AaL they couldn’t possibly upset a home so much as one overstuffed husband who’s puny and has had to go on a strict diet such as would be suitable for a canary—if the canary wasn’t very hungry.• • • Literary Legerdemain.0 ULTURAL circles along sun- VJ kissed coast of California are still all excited over the achieve­ ment of a local literary figure who, after years of concentrated effort, turned out a 500,000-word novel with­ out once using a word containing the letter “E.” If the fashion spreads to the point where the cap­ ital “I” also should be stricken out, it’s going to leave a lot of actors and statesmen practically mute. But that’s not what I started out to say when I began this squib. What 1 started out to say was that I know of much longer novels which have been produced without a single idea in them. Sold pretty well, too, some of ’em did. Holding World’s Fairs. P’’S customary, before launching a world’s fair or an exposition or whatever they may call it, to hang the excuse for same oh some great event in history and then promptly forget all about the thing that the show is supposed to com­memorate in the excitement of flocking to see Sally Rand unveiled as the real main attraction.F’rinstance, the big celebration in New York in 1939 ostensibly will mark George Washington’s inaugu­ ration as President 150 years be­fore, and’ it may be, just as a mat­ ter of form, that Washington will be mentioned in the opening ceremoni­als. But the real interest will cen­ ter in whether Billy Rose or Earl Carroll or the Minsky brothers suc­ceed in thinking up some new form of peach-peeling art to entertain the customers, or have to fall back once more on such reliable standbys as fan dancers and strip-teasers.* * * .

National TopicsIntcrpreted by William Bruclcart "National Praaa Bulldlns Washington. D. C. Washington. — Although it has been three weeks since the Supreme,,, court of tiie Unit- W agner A e t. ^d States upheld D eeitione tiie Wagner labor relations act, I doubt that there is more than a mere handful of people in this na­tion who are able to comprehend the full significance of those decisions of the highest court. The chances are, if our present form of govern­ ment remains and we continue to adhere to our Constitution, the full import of the so-called Wagner act decisions (there were five of them) will, not be discovered within a quarter of a century. No decision of the Supreme court in several decades contains the wide range of potentialities found in the decisions of April 12 and it may well be that the findings of the court at that time will constitute a turning point in United States history. There are so many potentialities to be found in the Wagner act de­cisions that one may reasonably ex­ press a doubt whether states have any rights left. Likewise, one may express a doubt whether labor and the friends of labor have won or lost in the determination by the high court that the National Labor Relations board has power to com­ pel an employer to deal with a ma­jority of his workers, organized into union form. Above and beyond these phases lies another, namely, the question whether the United States congress does not have power to legislate strikes out of existence. FirsL I am convinced in review­ing the court’s action that there has been a tremendous amount of mis­ information spread about the find­ ings of the court. Never in my period of service in Washington have I seen so many different con­structions placed upon an official act. We have seen and heard un­ measured criticism of the court for turning business over to the labor unions; we have witnessed a renew­al of attacks on the Supreme court because it did not go far enough to the radical side in granting pow­ er to congress and the President, and we have been deluged with talk of what can now be done in a legis­lative way to carry out Mr. Roose­ velt’s theme song, “The More Abun­dant Life.” The truth is, however, that the Supreme court in deciding the Wagner act cases actually re­stated in a clarified manner a posi­ tion the court took twelve years ago. It was in 1925 that the court decid­ ed the so-called second Coronado coal mining case. In that opinion, the court laid down the rule, al­ though it was obscured, that ob­stacles to production constituted an interference with interstate com­ merce. In the cases this month, the court reaffirmed and restated that very theory of law and government, because it declared in the Jones and Laughlin Steel’ company case that failure of the employer to permit settlement of the strike through an official agency of the government constituted interference with inter­ state commerce. Hitherto, the con­ ception.of interstate commerce gen­erally has been limited to trans­ portation of goods or communica­tion across state lines. To show the similiarity, it is nec­essary only to recall that striking miners attempted to close en­trances to the Coronado mines in Colorado. The cases went to the Supreme court which held that ille­ gal attempts to close the mines con­ stituted an interference with ship­ ment. of the products into interstate commerce. So, I am quite con-'’ vinced that the job the Supreme court did in this instance and as far as it relates to the orgy of New Deal theories consists only of clari­fying the legal definition of inter­ state commerce. Laymen are not concerned with legal technicalities, nor do they understand them, but they do understand facts and it was facts in the Jones-Laughlin case up­on which the court predicated its decision notwithstanding the. wild acclaim by New Dealers for the “enlightened” construction of the Constitution in that opinion.• • * Any attempt to point out what tiie Wagner act decisions mean and how far they go is Sntet at bound to lead into D itcuttidn a' maze of compli­cated discussion. I have no intention of getting my­ self so entangled despite the de­grees in law that I hold. I am a firm believer in tiie declaration Qiatx human nature works out its prob­ lems after the-manner of slow and' orderly development But there are certain circum­stances connected with the present court rulings and conditions: of this day that may probably be discussed without becoming involved ,in de­spised legal technicalities. - I mentioned earlier that: if the court, as it did, could find that ob­struction of production constituted interference with interstate 'com­ merce, it seems quite obvious that interference may come'from em­ployees as well as employers. It is a fact, therefore, that when the steel company here concerned re­ fused to obey the mandate! of the National Labor Relations board tt prevented a settlement of a strike. It must be a fact, therefore, that a strike of tiie sitdown type con­ stitutes interference with production -and consequently interferes with in­terstater commerce. The - next .con­ clusion, and it seems perfectly ob­ vious, is that if congress can legis­ late against employer and prevent . him from interfering with interstate commerce, it can legislate to pre­ vent the workers from interfering with interstate commerce. Now, we come to the point, men­tioned earlier, of the danger inherent in any situation where congress starts legislatingdn the question of human rights. Congresses -before this time have been fair andcon- gresses hereafter may be fair in enacting legislation dealing with the delicate matter of human rights. But where is the assurance that they will do so? How can we tell but that' at some future time a con­gress subservient to big business may decide to lay down ridiculous rules about employment. It is pos­ sible, for example, that some con­ gress may say that employers may not hire workers above fifty- years of age. They seem to have that power—if they can make it appear that age becomes important to the maintenance of constant production. I admit this sounds ridiculous. I intended that it should sound ridic­ ulous. It has been mentioned as an extreme case to show-what may be possible if these new powers are not wisely used. It exemplifies,-more­over, what a factor uncertainty is when too much power has been granted any agency of the govern­ ment, be it national, or. state, or lo­ cal.• • * Now, to touch up on some-of the unsettled issues resulting - from i t mmi j Hie' court’s pro-U ntetU ea nouncement: ltta e t AU that hasbeen obtained un­ der the Wagner act decisions is complete recognition of the right of organized labor groups to bargain collectively free from employer domination. The principle of:mar jority rule is laid down. An em­ ployer must deal with the !repre­sentatives of a majority of his work­ers. The rights of tiie minority, whether that minority be a com­ pany union or an independent union are rather much overshadowed al­though they can present their, griev­ ances to the National Labor Rela­tions board. It is in that situation that trouble is foreseen. Most of the -recent strikes have resulted from disputes over union recognition. Largely this union recognition question resulted from tiie maneuverings and, agita­ tion by John L. Lewis and his Com­ mittee for Industrial Organization. But it is not to be forgotten that the American Federation of:Labor has several million members in its craft unions. Thus, it can easily be foreseen that the National ,Labor Relations board is going to. be con­ fronted many times with a fight be­tween the C. L Q- and the A F. of L. Each one of these organizations win claim that it represents, a ma- jority of the workers and, therefore, is entitled to be the spokesman for aU of an employer’s workers. . Most of us have seen how bitter internal labor rows can become. I am sure that most of my readers wUl. reqaU cases within their own knowledge . where carpenters and bricklayers have fought it out over the question of which one was to do certain work in.construction. Ithas happened hundreds of times and each time bitter hatred has. devel­ oped. When the right to speak for a whole body of employees becomes the'question for determination, it seems to me perfectly obvious that the controversy wtil develop into one of white, heat. And the .labor board wiU have to decide which one should serve as the employees’ rep­ resentative. In the meantime, the employer can have nothing to say.* • * AU of this may sound a bit fan­tastic; it may sound as an attempt _. „ to borrow trouble.F ix H eart it Js neither. The and W ageti situation is dis­ cussed for: th e reason that it is quite apparent, there will be new attempts in con­ gress now to write legislation con­trolling hours and wages. Repre­ sentative Connery of Massachu-.' setts, speaking as chairman of the house labor committee, declared the other day that such legislation would,be drafted and he entertained no doubt that it would pass the house. Conditions in the senate are differenL but Mr. Connery’s opin­ion must be accepted as worthwhile to so far, as the house is concerned.Thus, .if congress undertakes such legislation it is confronted with the necessity of doing something by way of amendment of the Wagner act that will make union labor com­ ply with federal: regulation instead of leaving the Wagner act one-sided as it is. In other words, labor is entitled to its dues, to its fair share of profits, but it seems to me it is also entitled to be as subservient to law as those who. pay the wages.G VesUra Newspaper Union. * * * * * * ** WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Parion TffTff f f f ▼V lfV V fIH IIM m A Modem CellinL NEW YORK--Pietro Mas­ cagni, the greatest living Italian composer, was quite angry . .and unforgiving about America after his tour of 1902. He has simmered down a lot with,the years, and now, at sev­ enty-four, he plans another tour summer, with the orchestra of the famous La Scala opera house. It is, of course, big news in the musical world, but the shaggy, old composer probably will land on the news' pages, too, as he has a way of touching off excitement of one sort or other—not always musical. First off, there was that unhappy business about tiie maestro’s shirts —on that 1992 tour. The laundries tore .them up or put saw edges on the collars, or stuck them fall of pins. Signor Maseagm was so en­ raged that, if the laundry hadn’t been a bloodless corporation, be would have challenged it to a duel. A'secondary irritation was the fact that the tour, in spite at the signor’s great genius, was one of the most elaborate busts fa musical history. He brought over a big orchestra, with a guarantee of $10,000 a week, for eight weeks. There were in­ ternal rows and wrangles, battles with managers, bickering and back- talk, with, finally the deportation of the orchestra players as aliens li­ able to become a public charge. ' There was a fierce tangle of law­suits, and ever since then Signor Mascagni’s graying, bushy hair has bristled a bit at mention of Amer­ ica. It was only two years ago that he was saying that New York’s Metropolitan Opera house was all right as a training school, but “not much good for opera.” He was a baker’s son, helping his father in the bakery. Heriippeda tiny statue of the Virgin in a loaf of bread. A rich womancustomer broke her front tooth, on it, and, dodging his angry parent, young Fietro kept on going—«n itinerant player and ^student. He was unknown in Italy in 1902, when his Cayalleria Rusticana was produced. The next day he was as well -known and as conspicuous as Vesuvius, acclaimed as - the suc­cessor of Verdi, experiencing what we might call a Undberghian tri­ umph. He is a Renaissance man, a veritable Cellini, with' his pen­chant for life in the grand manner, quick on’ the draw, impatient with dolts and laggards, still boiling with creative energy. . He was quite a way over to the left to 1922, but finally made his peace with Mussolini. Mussriini had promised senatorial togas for both Puccini and Mascagni, in 1926, but only Puccini's came through. That was said to have embittered the maestro, but did not halt his work. It may be noted, in passing, that there was.little seuesenee.in the Renaissance. “Mascagni Flattens.

He is a dapper little man who likes to go, about, his.busjness in a quieL genteel way. When he con­quered, in 100 days, a Manchuria area as large as a brace of New England states, he put on a regular daytime fighting shift, with all bands knocking, off when the whistle blew, all ,lights out at eight and everybody "asleep at nine. He was quite complacent about tt, having consulted the famous soothsayer, Donsho Kodania, who had called every important happen­ ing in Japan before it happened— including the fan of six cabinets. -Donriio told-the general Manchnria would be a push-over, so. he slept ten hours a night.

It is a pic­ ture that, defies description, for volumes would be necessary to describe the thrilling scenes of vast herds of elephants, the gruesome terror of discontent brewing among the natives of India, the sturdy charm of little Sabu, the twelve-year-old- In­ dian boy who shares stardom with the king of the elephants, the magnificent blending of mu­ sic with the haunting shrieks of Wild animals. But with all of its other merits, it is the heart-warming friendship of the boy and his elephant that makes one want to go back to see this picture again and again. Robert Flaherty, the explorer-director who hasn’t had a picture on our screens since the unforgettable “Man of Aran” made off the coast of Ireland, went to India two years ago and is responsible for “Elephant Boy." —*— Back to roles that are hot and low down go Bette. Davis and George Bancroft in their new films. When Warner Broth­ ers and Bette Davis ended their long court wrangle, they told her all was for­given, and certainly they must have meant it, for they have given her the best role of her ca­reer i n “Marked Woman.” George Bancroft comes back in a Columbia picture called “Racketeers in Exile,” which is a powerful answer to those reform­ers who said thay they just wouldn’t let us have any more gangster pic­ tures._■*— For months Sol Lesser bas been conducting a search for a Tarzan and at last he found one.

She felt that she was all but lost among the fancy sets and big musical numbers, which just shows you that actors are usually wrong about what a picture will do for them. Sam Goldwyn took one look at “Top of the Town” and im­ mediately started negotiations with Dniversal to borrow Miss Nolan for a prominent part in “Dead End.” Meanwhile Miss Nolan had gone off on a motor trip with her sister, to take a look at the cherry blossoms in Washington, to dash over the skyway in Shenandoah valley, and visit relatives in- North Carolina.

Which perhaps ac­ counts for the tremendous vogue for handsome suits tailored of hand­some woolens which is sweeping throughout fashion’s domain. Since London is proving a magnet for de­ signers and merchants who wish to keep in touch with what’s going on in a fashion way where such stir­ ring epoch-making events are tak­ing place, their first reaction would naturaUy be in favor of stunning woolen tailored apparel since Eng­lish women set pace for the world in this direction.At any rate this is proving an outstanding season for the tailored suit and all that goes with it in the way of chic accessories. The new woolens are as an intriguing lot as ever launched forth on a fashion career. While most any length jack­ et is accepted this year as good style, yet when it comes to top- notch swank the fashion-wise are centering their interest about the jaunty short-jacket types. The suit to the left in the picture combines nubby wool sheer tweed with even nubbier knit and you know that the nubbier the smarter is the word this season for woolens. The short fitted jacket in brown and beige tweed has three half-moon pockets Uned with the brown knit of the skirt. There’s a brown knit ascot, a belt and buttons that are amusing in their oddity. By the way, you can add to the lure of a costume like this by wearing a blouse that fastens with fruit or vegetable bur­tons. Seeing is beUeving in regard to these whimsical buttons, some of which are miniature strawberries or perhaps we® apples or peaches. If you prefer oblong buttons ask for the IilUputian bananas they are displaying this season or the teeny- weeny ears of com, each and aU in the reaUstic colorings of Nature.The two-piece suit of pin-checked wool tweed on the seated figure is beige flecked with white, according to SchiaparelU’s fabric version. Such an exciting color theme as beige has grown to be this season! It’s beige for your suit, for your furs, for your monotone crepe after­noon gown and for accessories with your navy or black suit beige is a most important message. The dia­mond shaped composition buttons that fasten this jacket are decidedly novel and therefore impart the ex­clusive look. Panels form ingenious breast pockets. A navy blouse peeps from under the stand-up collar. -Check and double check! Here you see the game played in the suit to the right in the group. A navy and white box-swagger coatee in soft wool with large patch pock­ets, and rounded lapels over a single breasted jacket to match makes this one of the smartest and most practical suits of the season. A navy monotone tweed skirt in simple lines is a pleasing variation from the check of the jacket. Wear with this costume a white baku breton sailor with roll brim faced in patent leath­ er, for you must know that patent leather touches are ace-high chic. The checked, swagger-and-jaeket suit just described is a good ex­ ample of the fashion now prevail­ing for ensembles that are that composite they furnish quite a com­ plete wardrobe in themselves. The present scheme of, costume design that includes several items such as skirt, jacket, roomy topcoat and of­ten an added cape denotes a very practical turn of affairs. These are so related in color and technique that, combine them as you will, they never fail to form a perfect unified outfit.O Western Newspaper Union. “AMOUR” SILK PRINT Br CHEUtG NICHOLAS The love affair that startled the world takes on a fashion note. Look at the silk over-blousette which this perfectly coiffed and hatted lady is wearing and you will be able to decipher the word "amour” design- fully patterned in stripes on the printed silk. The blousette is worn over a black silk crepe dress. The silk print is done in black and gray on a white silk crepe. The breton sailor she wears flared off the fore­head instead of tilted forward is a “last word” hat fashion. Nosegays for Buttonhole A smart Paris wrinkle is an ev& ning corsage of dahlias in. seven different tones or one" with three lilac sprays, white and mauve violets. GLASS SLIPPERS ARE LATEST FOOT MAGIC By CHERIE NICHOLASGlass slippers for the modern Cinderella are the latest word in foot-magic from Paris. To show that they are a 1937 vogue and ’ won’t actually disappear at midnight, they are trimmed in gold kid and show bright nail lacquer gleaming through. Another version of the Cinderella slipper is created of woven strands of crystal. This, too,- is semi-trans­parent. Other more practical types of footwear for spring indicate the growing importance of the pedicure as a fashion requisite. Tipped-toe shoes (with just the tip cut out at front), sports and evening slippers made of twisted- bands of printed linen—all reveal lace-tipped stock­ ings and brightly lacquered toes. Rust and ruby-red and burgundy are especially popular, usually worn a tone deeper than the fingernails. Roman sandals and flat-heeled gold evening slippers with tiny strappings will be particularly popu­ lar with the “tall and willowy,” Printed slippers made from th e same material as the evening gown and colored kid sandals are also high in favor. Ventilated Headwear Is Latest Edict From Paris Ventilated headwear is a top note in the new collection Agnes shows. Pie-shaped wedges are cut out of black brims that lie low and hug the hair. Half-hats that reach back only to the ears are finished the rest of the way with flowing black veils. A wide-brimmed black Panama, cut in two lengthwise, joins Iot gether again with half a dozen bows of black velvet baby ribbon. All its edges are also Velvet-bound.; Agnes, too, makes much use of ribbon. Birdlike bows perch on the crowns of her sailor hats and stand aloft on the “cut-away” fronts of her off-the-face models.

Supplied by Nutrltioii Specialists., at Ohto State University.—WNU Service. New-laid eggs can be put down in water glass at any time, so many owners of poultry flocks have found it to an advantage to preserve some eggs during the high-producing sea­son for use during the months of low production, according to nutrition specialists at Ohio State university. Only dean, fresh, infertile eggs should be put down in water glass. Dirty eggs will spoil and, if they are washed, the protective coating which prevents spoilage is removed. Cracked eggs should never be used. Even minute cracks may cause spoilage and contamination of the other eggs in the jar. It is a wise precaution to candle every egg be­fore putting it into the water glass solution.A five-gallon crock or jar will hold about 14 dozen eggs with room for at least two inches of water glass solution above them. The container should be thoroughly cleaned and scalded and allowed to d?y before it is used. It is a good idea, too, to set it where the eggs are to be stored, as it is difficult to move safely when filled with eggs.To prepare the solution, boil nine gallons of water, then cool. Add one quart of sodium silicate, or water glass, which can be bought in most drug stores, and mix well in the container. Put eggs carefully into the solution to avoid cracking them. Keep at least two inches of the water glass solution above the top layer of the eggs.Evaporation can be prevented by covering the crock with a tight lid. This can easily be removed to put in more eggs. If the solution evap­ orates perceptibly, add enough water to maintain the IeveL Eggs preserved in water glass solution may be taken out at any time. If they are used for boiling, make a small hole with a pin in one end to prevent them from cracking. B la ck L egh orn s F ound to B e P op u lar on F arm s The black-feathered sister of the White Leghorn is becoming increas­ ingly popular on thousands of poul­try farms for a number of reasons, says a poultryman in the Philadel­ phia Inquirer. First, the birds are extremely hardy and very healthy. Diseases common to other breeds, such as white diarrhoea, laying, mortality on account of pickouts and cannibalism, are unknown in Black Leghorns. They require no bloodtesting, no vaccination or cod­dling of any kind, and thousands of farmers are depending on them for their living. They lay large white eggs and lots of them and are the only black-feathered fowl that dresses yellow for market purposes. Their flesh for the table is not ex­ celled.In England they are the leading breed. At the English egg-laying contests they have won every point for several years—most eggs, larg­ est eggs, lowest feed cost.

For the past three vears we have read much and heard many speeches telling us why the farmers should thank the Lord for Rooseyelt—how he bad saved their farms and put them on easy street. But there is sometimes two or three flies in the milk bottle. Payday always comes. It is true that the New Deal crowd did lend the farmer money to save his.farm from the other fellow, but just listen to this short item, which was clipped from a Hew Deal news­ paper: ‘‘Chairman John F. Fahey of the Home Owners Loan Corporation ex pects HOLC to foreclose on 160,900 homes within the next eighteen months. The Farm Credit Admin­ istration has foreclosed on 6 ,453,000 acres, and the Farm Credit Cor poration Administration is rapidly accumulating farm lands on which the owners have failed to discharge their obligations.” From the way the above article -reads, if Wouldrseem that the New Deal government is going to own a big bunch of‘ the farmers’ lands within the next few months. They have already seized over six million acres'of the farmers lands. The fellows who thanked the Lord for Roosevelt may change their tune be­ fore the thirtv five billion dollar debt i this country owes has been paid, All is not gold that glitters. Buys NeeIy Home.

A good many cars claim to be In it. So whenever the low-price field is mentioned, remember t Until Ford came, no average American could own a car. .. Today all Ford prices are still low -—with the prices of . the 60-horsepower Ford V-8 $30 .to ♦60 lower than those of any other car of com- . parable size. But with . Ford, “low price” doesn’t merely mean low figures on the price tag; It means much more than that. It means low prices and low costs all the car’s long life. Low prices for ser­ vice — for parts —■ and, above all, for operation. Both Ford V-8 engine sizes are economical to operate. The 85 horsepower gives greater gas­ oline mileage this year than ever, and the “60” delivers the highest mileage in Ford history. Private owners, cab companies, fleet operators . ‘ ' all report that the “60” averages from 22 to 27 miles per gallon of gasoline. Check and see how much Ford saves you. . » .

Finally he drew up at a maple beside a field and sat there, thinking. People passing in cars on their way to church, nudged each other at the sight of the young man hunched over his wheel, a look of stupor on his face. They tittered and exchanged glances.Finally he started the engine and drove toward town. He turned in­to his mother’s driveway at Khlf- past twelve. Kezia waved , to him and came running down the steps. “Dorrie has called twice. She said to ring her up if you came over He looked past her with lustreless eyes. “All right,” he said thickly.Carefully he backed the car down the drive, and then circled the boulevard three times before he could force himself to go down his own street. Dorrie met him at the door. Her eyelids were red with recent weep­ing, and the sight twanged a re­ sponsive chord of pity in him.“Hugh,” she said bravely. Then Choked and paused. "Hugh, I've seen Cun, I’ve told him it was all over between us.”He stood, frozen as a statue, his sombre eyes burning into hers. “I know now that you’re the on­ly one I care for—the only one. The other was ”“An interlude?” “No—a madness. Can’t you for­ give me?”She seized his hand. “Listen, Hugh—you must believe me—and don’t look at me like that—so cold and hard! I’ve been very wicked . . . I’m sorry for the things Tve said and done. But you’ll have nothing to complain of now—noth­ ing! Please say you will!”Tears began to roll down her cheeks. “I’m so unhappy and mis­erable. ...”The habit of the heart is strong. He took a step forward. A com­pulsion greater than he, an involun­ tary movement, and his arms dosed around her, closed around bar in desperate yearning. CHAPTER VIII After the interview between El- ten Pendleton’s parents and Jerry Purdue, they handed down the ulti­matum that they would not sanc­ tion an engagement yet. Let things work out. There was no htirry.In July there was a perceptible jhxinkage in Jerry's devotion. He did not telephone quite so often. He had vague excuses for not com­ ing since Tuesday. Lizzie’s quick eyes noted the change almost as soon as Ellen, and used it as a small whip to lash her.ttNot coining this afternoon—Sat­ urday? I thought he had the aft­ernoon off. Nor tonight? . . . He has to see a man on business? . . . A good bit of that lately! . . .When Lizzie learned that Jerry nad been seen at the country dub as the escort of Kezia Marsh, she was triumphant. She could scarce­ ly wait to tell Ellen. Jerry took some of the sting out bf this information by saying to El­ len that night: ttI want to be per­fectly frank with you—I’ve been seeing something of Kezia lately.” Her heart knocked a little, but she managed to smile. ttKezia— yes?” He watched her closely. ttI took her out to the dance the. other night.” “She’s very—attractive.”- ttOh, attractive enough, but a lit­tle spoiled. She amuses me. 'It occurred to me that since your parents are so set against an en­ gagement, it would be well for us to go around with others occasion­ ally.” “Do you think that would help matters with them?” ' ttAt least it wouldn’t cause so .much talk. No one would be sure that we. were engaged—anc1. that would please your parents.” Jerry had put the top of his little car down and they were spinning past an endless whirligig of mead­ows and woods yielding to the blur ef twilight. She felt a bit sick that he would think of such a procedure. It was disenchanting to know that he eould find pleasure elsewhere tor an evening. “You’re not saying anything. What do you think of it?” urged Jerry. ■' ’She spoke in a low tone. “Isn’t it it your wish and desire that counts?” She paused. ttBut if your only object is to please Fa­ther and Mother—you won’t do it that way. Mother was beginning to like you—I could see it.”Jerry made a dissenting sound. His dark face was turned in sullen profile as he brooded. ttThey get me down when I come to see you. I’m not good enough for a Son-Ia law!”ttMind if I ask you a question?" “Ask away.” “Did you go to see Kezia more than once? Sometimes I have a feeling that Kezia is not really friendly toward me—that she would be glad to show you off as a con­ quest she had made."He laughed. “Don’t I know it? She’s a flighty wench—half a dozen men on the hook.”“And you’re sure of me?” she asked with a dubious smile.ttSweetheart, you’re worth a doz­en Kezias,” he said with glib im­petuosity. “You know I think that." ' A great many things made Flu­ vanna unsettled and discomforted, yet not one fact which she could put her finger on and say, “this is the reason.” Michael, Margery’s son, had ear trouble with a threat­ened mastoid, and Fluvanna’s ea­ ger sympathy drained her strength away through the weeks of illness. And what had become of Ellen? So busy and happy that she never had time to drop in? She called Lizzie on the telephone to invite her and Ellen, for lunch on Wednes­day, but IJzzie was curt in her refusal. Both she and Ellen had engagements for Wednesday. Flu­vanna flushed at her short tone. Perhaps she was a . selfish moth­er, but she wished' that Kezia would be more companionable, give her more of her confidence. One Monday nighr she said to her firmly, ttKezia, I must know where you are going.”Kezia frowned nervously as she stood with the screen door half open. ttRunning over to Emmy’s. Someone will bring me heme.” Fluvanna rose from her chair by the reading lamp. She watched Kezia’s light slim figure grow “He' Beally Adores You—Looks Hp to You!” blurred in the darkness of the long front walk. She was only a bob­ bing shadow on the street, walking- slowly now. Then as she watched her, Kezia’s footsteps quickened a little. She turned toward the curb where a roadster was parked, climbed into it. The car moved away. The next morning Kezia came downstairs about noon, fresh and smiling. She came to her mother in the library and extended a glove to her. “Just a tiny hole. Mother. Want to mend it for me? It’s the only pair that’s dean. I told Anna to wash them yesterday—but her only answer was a dirty lookl So I’ve been industrious this morning, washed four pairs, and numerous stockings.” Fluvanna, took the glove, thread­ ed a needle. “Where were you last night, my dear?” Kezia took a step back and shot her a look. ttJust over to'Emmy’a.** she said coldly. ttWho drove you over?”The girl gave her a guarded glance. ttKezia, whom are you meeting that you won’t bring to the house? I happened to see you get into a car,” Fluvanna stopped and pressed her hand to her side.ttI won’t, be questioned about ev­ery little thing I do!” ttIfs not a little thing; it’s a very serious thing. If there is som* reasonable explanation, why doq’t you give it to me?”“I can’t ” “Why can’t you?” ttIfs someone whom you wouldn’t allow at the house—so there!” ttMy dear, surely you know that I’d rather allow you to have any­ one—anyone—at the house, than have you picked up on street cor­ ners!” “Mother, darling,” said Kezia with hurt innocence and touching appeal, “you won’t scold me if I tell you?”“No.” - ... “I probably, shouldn’t have start- ed, and at first if was only in fun. But now it’s real. He cares for me instead of her!” She smiled quiveringly; a tear, squeezed out from the‘mist in her eyes, rolled over her cheek. She knelt by her mother’s chair, laid her head on her arm. “You understand, you dear understanding mother—you’re not-hurt? And now .if you know you’ll allow him to ; come to' th« house—as you promised you would! ... .H e really adores you—Iodki up to you!” (TO BE CONTlNUEOi IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 16 THE FORBEARANCE OF ISAAC LESSON TEXT—Genesis 28: 12-25. GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed are the peace­ makers: for they shall be called the chil­ dren of God. Matthew 5:9.PRIMARY TOPIC—A Man Who Wouldn’t Quarrel.JUNIOR TOPIC—Was Isaac a Hero? INTERMEDIATE. AND SENIOR TOPIC— Bow to Prevent Quarrels. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Promoting Peace. In a world largely dominated by the philosophy that might is right, and in which men are urged to as­sert themselves and demand their rights, exacting them even by law. less and violent methods, it is in­creasingly difficult to proclaim the truth that meekness is not weakness and that the Christian virtues of pa­ tience and long-suffering are not simply outmoded theories which do not fit our modern world.The story of Isaac, the second of the patriarchs, is instructive from beginning to end. The five chap­ters preceding our lesson merit careful reading. Isaac had come through many blessed experiences and had also sadly tasted the de­ feat of unbelief and sin before we reach the time of our lesson. Fear­ ing a famine, and evidently not be­ing certain that God would care for him, he had gone down from the promised land, and was dwelling in the land of the Philistines. But God had not forsaken him, and even there he blessed him.I. Peace, Prosperity,- and Envy (w. 12-17).-Isaac was at peace although he was in the enemy’s territory. God had given him great prosperity with the result that the Philistines hated bim. Times have changed, but men are the-same. Many are they who will not have the Lord Jesus Christ to rule over them, but who cast en­vious glances toward those who be­ cause they have honored God have been honored by him with peace of beart and have been prospered in whatever they do. (Read Psalm I.) Note that Isaac’s testimony is strengthened by his willingness to yield even what was his right, rather than cause contention. Un­ doubtedly there are times when one must defend his name and his pos­ sessions, but all too often those who ttStand up for their rights” have wrecked homes, churches, and na­tions, and bave gained nothing but an empty victory. H. Peace in the World Is Tempo­ rary (w. 18-21).Isaac moved on and digged more wells, and for a time he was again at peace, but not for long. He was still in the land of the Philistines. We are in the world. We long for peace, we would throw all our influ­ence on the side of peace. But let us not be misled, for as long as sin is in the world there will be strife and war. Many noble Christian men and women have permitted their God- given hatred of war and killing to mislead them into support of un- scriptural and impossible peace pro­ grams, often to the loss of their in­ terest in the preaching of the gospel and the winning of souls to Christ. But is there then never to be ttPeace on earth”?III. Perfect Peace in the Pres­ ence of God (w. 22-25). When Isaac came up into Canaan the land which God had promised him, he found permanent peace and renewed fellowship with God. Even so, the Christian man and woman who will step out of a spirituality- destroying fellowship with the world and will come wholly over into the' spiritual Canaan will find true peace and intimate communion with God. A broader application of the same truth brings before us the teaching of Scripture that when the One who has a right to reign, the Lord Jesus Christ, returns to take his throne, then and not before, will peace cover the earth. In the meantime those who bear the beautiful name Christian, who are true followers of the Prince of Peace, will give them­selves to such patient, loving, and longsuffering testimony to Him that their personal influence will be to­ ward peace in the home, in the church, in the community, in the earth.Always remember that God’s Word, the Bible, is our guide. Let us read it diligently, intelligently, prayerfully. To help the reader to do this, the writer of these notes will be glad to supply without cost or obligation a Bible-reading calen­ dar with a workable plan for read­ ing the blessed Book through in a year.

W HEN there is the possibil­ ity of the back being in­ jured in an accident of any kind, it is not considered wise to have the patient move in any way until an X-ray examination can be made. A break or dis­ location along the spinal col­ umn anywhere from the neck down to the hip bones may cause paralysis or death if movement occurs; the most careful handling of the patient is therefore absolutely neces­ sary to prevent any movement. There are times however when it is necessary and saves considerable time and expense and possible court action to learn as soon as possible'if there is actually any injury to the spine. For several years Drs. R. DeSoto and K. O. Haldeman, San Francisco, have employed a method that is extremely helpful in locating Dr. Barton spinal injuries. They describe it in “Sur­ gery, Gynecology and Obstetrics,” Chicago. Simple and Easy Method.ttThe patient is placed flat on his back without pillows and the ex­aminer places one hand on the breast bone of the patient with, a slight pressure so that no bending can take place at the upper or low­er back. At the same time the ex­ aminer’s other hand is placed un­der the back of the patient’s head and the head very gently bent slightly forward so that the head (chin) is on the breast bone. This bending of the head forward pulls on the ligaments attached to the bones of the spine (the little knobs felt when you run your haiid down the spine) until it reaches the bone that is injured. This immediately causes pain which the patient can locate very easily.”The usefulness of this sign rests on the following facts: 1. It gives the exact location of recent fractures (broken bones) without moving or disturbing the pa­ tient.2. It guides the X-ray operator to the right level to obtain his picture.3. It shows whether the injury is in the spine (bony part of the back) or just in the soft muscle tissues of the back.4. When it may be a “court case” (medico-legal) the patient is not aware of what the test is for and the true facts will be brought out.5. If the patient doesn’t complaiji of pain anywhere down the spine it is not likely that a spine injury has. recently occurred.. . . Are the Glands to Blame?■ Youcanreallyhardlybeblamed when you find yourself eating less food in the 24 hburs—not simply at meal time—than others, and yet are much overweight, if you begin to wonder if your overweight is really due to overeating. Why should it not be due to some gland disturb-, ance in the body—the thyroid gland in .the neck or perhaps the pituitary gland situated on the floor of the skull?Now there is one way you can find out whether either or both of these glands may not be manufac­ turing enough juice and your doctor can arrange to have the tests made. If the thyroid gland is suspected,' and in this case the excess fat is distributed over the entire body, a metabolism test is made. Bbfore breakfast some morning you lie down quietly In the doctor’s office or at the hospital and the rate at which your body processes are working is discovered by a machine which measures the amount of oxy­ gen your tissues are using-and the amount of waste that is being thrown off when you are doing no work, and no food is being digested.If your processes are not work­ ing as fast aS normal, are more than 20 per cent below normal— registering 80 instead of 100—then your, thyroid gland is not active enough, and your doctor will pre­ scribe thyroid extract to make the processes work faster and use or burn up the fat. If it is the pituitary gland that is at fault the excess weight will be on shoulders, breasts, hips and abdomen, with forearm and lower leg free of excess tot,-and the X- ray of the skull will show changes in the little hollow in the bone in which the pituitary gland reste, a growth, or; other changed condi­ tions about the gland. In this-case pituitary extract will be prescribed by your physician. . Howeverwhetheryouroverweight is due to too much food or to a deficiency iof a gland or glands, what is called a basic diet is now prescribed by physicians doing spe­ cial work .in obesity or overweight. Uore exercise and less sleep Is of course part of the. treatment. Ex­ercise consumes some of the accu- Iiulated energy, stimulates bowel movement, and causes deep breath­ing. .

Outside of that I’m crazy about it, and I think you’re swell to make it for me. Why—” “What’s this, what’s this? If that isn’t a laugh. Aunt Alma! Imagine me wanting anybody’s dress. Why since you’ve taught me to sew-my-own I never want anything. I just make it and that’s that. This sport dress, for in­stance, took me only one after­noon.” Praise From Auntie. “I think you do wonderfully well with your sewing, my dear. You’ll be malting my clothes the first thing I know. I feel especially pleased with my new spring dress and I have both of you to thank for suggesting this style. It does right well by my hips, and it’s so comfortable through the shoul­ders. I guess I should diet but in this dress I feel nice and slender. Don’t you see. girls, how impor­ tant it is to choose a style that’s particularly becoming? It’s abid­ ing by this theory that gives some women such enviable chic.” The Patterns.Pattern 1280 is designed in sizes 12-20 (30 to 40). Size 14 requires 3% yards of 39 inch material.

(Charlotte Observer) The President asks for $1,500,000,' 444 with which to meet relief needs during the n*.xt fiscal year. He is on a tough spot in this mat* ter. Scylla faces him on one ride and Chary bdis on the other. Senator Byrnes, one of his inti mates, and others in the Senate wbo are more often friendly than critical of the President, think he is entirely too high with this estimate of mone­ tary needs for this purpose. Senator Byrnes proposes to fight the appropriation on this groond. It is lamentable that nobody seems to know whether this amount is rela tivelv too much or too little. ThePresidentwill be, and is al- ready being, severely lambasted for not making his estimate of these heedB higher. Some cf such critics are claiming that be is thus defeating tbe ends of recovery in summarily cutting off the relief rolls such a vast multitude who will have no other source from which to provide themselves with a liveli­ hood. It certainly does look as if by this time some arrangement would have been effectuated by which the gov­ ernmental heads would be able to tell, with at least reasonable accur­ acy, what is tbe volume of the relief load remaining today. - A census witjj&fd.have supplied that information, Sijut even though the relief administration is five years old it is still being administered bn tii hit and-miss basis so far as actual knov • ledge of the needs is concerned.

( Will Chase Sit-Down Strikers Off Farms. Business men and growers solidi­ fied a vigilante-style organization the past week to chase sit-down strikers off farms in the rich vegetable pro­ ducing sections of Kent, Washington and served notice on agricultural laborers that they wanted no repeti­ tion of “California’s disastrous ex­ perience.” SLCitizens who chased 10 Filipino sit- down strikers from a farm Monday announced they had recruited -400 citizens to go into action at the sound of the town fire siren. “If any other Filipino pickets try it they’ll get a hot reception,” said Mayor Worden. "We’re not going to have any farm sit down strikes around here, not after seeing the dis­ astrous experience Ciilifornia had last year.” California was the scene last year of a costly uphea al among lettuce packers and other produce laborers.

AU hope for ratification of the national child labor amendment to the Constitution this year has been officially abandoned by its promot ers. The New York Legislature’* re cent vote definitely turned the tables against the possibility of ratification Rejection by Nebraska’s Legislature the past week added to the certainty of defeat, “While it is possible ratification can be completed. I don’t think eight states can be induced to act this year,” said MissKatherineLenroot, chief of the Cnildren’s Bureau of the Department of Labor. Twenty eight states have ratified the amendment thus far. Four—. New Mexico, Kentucky, Nevada and Kansas—have approved it this year. On the other hand, seven states have voted against ratification since tanuary 1. Four of them—New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Nebraska—acted in rapid sue cession in the last month. Previous ly, Texas and North Carolina had voted against it and Sonth Dakota had tabled it. TheiT admission that ratification is unlikely this year does not mean that children’s bureau officials have any intention of abandoning support of the present proposed amendment as a way of ending the labor in in­ dustry of children. The revision of the amendment to reduce the maximum age of young people over whom Congress would have regulatory powers from 18 to 14 years, proposed this week by Senator William E. Borah, did not receive a sympathetic response from federal labor officials. The fact that 35 states now have a 14 year minimum employment age on their record books indicates that Senator Borah’s proposed amend ment would be more in keeping with public opinion as it stands at the present time But federal officials object to it on the ground that every time public opinion wanted the age limit raised the whole amiendment %process would have to be gone through all over again. ’ Self-Dependance. - It was Saturday evening and there was a little job in the garden that ought to be, had to be done, before Sunday came.

Has President Rposevelt perman­ ently lost his erstwhile power cf control over Congress through his efforts to gain control over the Su­ preme Court and othet matters in­ cluding the cutting down of ap­ propriations and expenditures? It becomes increasingly evident that Congress is not disposed to do his bidding as it did during his first administration. Thefactthatheis now in his second term undoubted Iy is a factor that accounts in part for the developed situation, but that is not all. Some of the stalwart New Deal supporters have been divided on the court issue. . Increasing num­ bers of senators and represenatives have become more independent of White House dictation, direction or suggestion, whatever one prefers to call it. Congress Is in a squabble—more than one squabble in fact. During his first four years in office and even in the beginning of the second term a word from the President would settle a squabble in Congress on matters pertaining to enlargement of his anthority. But it’s different now. Keenest observers are con­ vinced there is real prospect that Congress will deny Mr. Roosevelt two most important grants of auth­ ority — power over the Supreme Court and power over public spend­ ing Meanwhile there has developed, say close range observers, intense bitterness between the two Camps of New Dealers—those who are standing by the President and those who are opposing him. Some of his loyal supporters detest some of bis intimate advisers, and the pro­ posal to stop free spending abrupt Iy has aroused 'bad feeling that does not promise well for some o' the White House plans. Carefully newspaper readers must have noted in recent days that Senator, Joe Robinson. Senator Bvrnes, Speaker Bankhead and Sam Rayburn. House leader, are t riking. discords. Note for ex ample, that Robinson and Byrnes are strong for a horizontal 10 per cent cut in approoriations, except for fixed charges, while it appears- that President Roosevelt wants Congresstoname -15 per cent a« the measure of the cut to leave it to him to do the cutting; when, where and if he considered wise. Bankhead and Rapburn ate back­ ing the Ptesident in this vital mat* ter. Of coase. Congress is jealous oi its traditional power over spending, because that is a vital element in the political life blood . of many a senator and ^ representative Tae individual member of Congress fi- guress he cannot get votes if he cannot get money for his district or state or cannot-protect the gov­ ernment jobs of constituents. The court issue perhaps. goes deeper with man; senators and representatives. It is not only a question of the sentiment of their constituents, many of them power ful and influential, but with many it is also a matter of fundamental principle. The date of the Presi­ dential promulgation of bis court’ reorganization plan, it can be seen now, marked the date when Con. gress began to weaken in its allegi ance to and support-of presidential plans, purposes and programs. During the-first four years of the New Deal, '’Congress' co operated readily with the White House in greatly extending the presidential power. . ' ■ . It began to balk when be asked for power over the Supremer Court. It has given evidence of - a dis­ position to do,more balking'when the President recently suggested that it relinquish to him some o> its own pet powers—and leave it to him to decide where exoendi tures of public money should b- curtailed and to what extent. Of course a practical factor ir the whole situation is the fact thai senators and representatives do not look for another Roosevelt land slide to return them safely to theii seats- and that in itself is calculated to strengthen their independence it a measure at least. In any event, it appears that Con gress is slowing down and even be ginning to halk stubbornly under the White House whip and rein as President Roosevelt seeks more and more power tor himself. It is re parted from Washington that even Vice President Garner, the old faith­ ful, no longer finds it possible to ’•go along” with the Wliite House in all matters. It begins to look like the Presi­ dent’s insatiable hunger for more and more power is about to cost him power of control over. Congress—if Indeed it has not already.—Char- ljtte Observer. New Deal Propaganda. (Macon, Ga., News) The Macon citizen who has put a 3-eent stamp on a letter instead of a 2-cent stamp should realize that' this is due, in part to the fact that the New Deal at Washington is now spending fifty-four million dollars in propaganda. It is using the money of the taxpayers to win those same taxpayers over to endorsement of such things as the president's plea for power to pack the supreme court of the XTnited States.. Representative John Tabor, ol New York, has just brought out som e astonishing fasts in this con­ nection. During th e committee hearing on th e postoffice supply bill it was revealed that twenty million dollars a year was now being spent for printing this official propaganda, and he might have added parenthe­ tically that m o3t of it. was written by press agents who function abso* lutely in violation of a plain provi­ sion of law. Mr. Taber also'brought out the fict that the use of the franking privilege has risen in the past four years under the Roosevelt adminis­ tration, from an average of around nine million dollars a year. The printing bill is exactly' twice what it was before the Roosevelt ad­ ministration come into power; It is estimated that the cost of franking the mail of members of congress amounts to only about $75 • OOO a year, or about 5 per cent of the total reported for the entire government. The remaining $33;250,000 was us­ ed last year as officially reported by the post-office department, by the executive branches of the govern, ment. AU this is not surprising to the average editor who has to spend a- bout half of every morning throwing New Deal propaganda into the waste basket, and there is plenty of it go­ ing to individuals, as you probably know. If some stuffed shirt of a New Deal congressman were to be able to get up in the house and show .that the United States Chamber of Com­ merce was spending fifty-four mil­ lion dollars a year for propaganda', although paying it out of his own treasury and supplied by voluntary contributions, he would defean hea­ ven with his protests. And yet these Brain Trusters; who are mostly sell­ ing patent medicine nostrums to an innocent and long-suffering public, can fill the United States mails with fifty-four trillion dol.ars worth of misleading and often downright men­ dacious arguments in favGr of tbeir. pet measures, including pleas for the right to ravish the supreme court of the United States. It is high time to-call a halt. ' Hiprocratic Oath Respected ' The Hippocratic oath has been re­spected equally throughout thj ages by Arab, Jew and Christian, and. remains the watchword of . the medi- \ cal profession. ’ / Spelling Bees Coming Back. Some of the editors of different iapers hereabouts are delighted that he old fashioned spelling]bees art omiag oack into popularity. The' look upon it tor hopes that it may ~>e the salvation of the almost los' irt of correct spelling which art de ■lined with the modern sight reading unovation in the schools. The. editors call attention to tbt act that business executives com- Main that they now are asked to rurnish employment to high school graduates as stenographers who can -iot write a simple business letter ind get the' spelling correct; and they are asked to hire file clerks who can not take the job in hand for the simple reason that they do not know the alphabet. The whole'idea seems Io have or iginated with the belief that the sight reading system would lend speed to acquiring an education. That may be true, but business ex* <;cutives are not in favor of releasing letters from their offices which have the appearance of having been writ ten by'an illiterate person. The old time way'of conducting a spelling bee, or match as it usually was called, was to line up those who were to compete, start at the bead of the class, and when one missed the spelling of a word, the one who spelled it correctly took his place in the line while the one’ who missed stepped down the line one place. The object was to see which pupil could remain at the bead of the clas.'- longest. From the way present day pupils- spell, a spelling match might have he appearance of some kind of fancy dance or pantomine, as they would be changing Dlaces so often ' In olden days, teachers very ofter. had to resort to most unusual word.* to “turn down” the pupil who had the head of the class. That Drob ably would be unnecessary now; but if there were an exception, be might ask the champion to recite the al phabet to ••stump” him.—States ville Record. Conserving The Waste. Heretofore we have referred tr the profitable experience, of certain Yadkin county citizens in harvesting and marketing a by-product that is mainly allowed to waste in Alexand­ er-black walnuts. James Caudle, of Yarkin, received an average of $4.26 a tree for the black walnutB kernels harvested from each tree on his farm last fall. Yet his trees are still there growing into valuable timber at the same time they are pro-, iding this little side in­ come. Mr. Caulle probably wishes be had more than seven trees on his farm but the $29.85 that came from the seven he has in good pocket change, and would be just about the amount of tax bill of a lot of farm­ ers. Mr. Caudle gathered eighteen bsshels of nut from h>s seven trees and from these he secured 99:5 pounds of kernels that he sold for thirty cents a pound. Exteension Forester R. W. Grae- ber says “I believe tbat the average North Carolina farm could have fifty or more walnut trees growing in waste places about over the. farm. With an average return of only $2 50 a tree, fifty trees would give an an­ nual income of $125. In, addition the trees would be growing into a valuable timber asset.—Es.

The labor situation has ^reached a point where it effects every citizen. The unlawfuljoccupaticrn of property by workers to enforce theirgdemands and the breakdown of our law enfor­ cement agencies iti protecting the property owner, is a new experience ia the United States. It is but one step removed from revolution. If one class of citiz ns can dispose seas another class of the use of tbeir property, it is only a step further’- to take over such property permanent­ ly. We have witne sed that in Russia and Spain. If workmen stop and think, they will see t hat they are destroying tbeir own safety and liberty when they fo­ ment revolutionary practices. Thoughtful persons who have the oest interests of wotkers at heart, can only warn them against such tactics which in tbe long run will lose unless government stability is des­ troyed —then what?—U n i o n Re- oublican.

It was said by steamship officials in New York that hundreds of Americans booked, for the coronation had cancelled their passages, but despite this it w as certain London would be thronged with visitors.Senator O’Mahoney Announcem ent of their posi­ tion on the President’s Su­preme court bill by three more Democratic members of the senate judiciary committee seemingly made it certain that body would report the measure adversely t0 the Benate- Thew WM line-up at this writ­ing is 10 to 8 against the bill. The three who openly joined the opposition were Senators J. C. O’­ Mahoney of Wyo­ming, Pat McCarren of Nevada and Carl Hatch ot New Mexico. With them in opposition are King of TJtahl Van Nuys of Indiana, Burke of Nebraska, Connally of Texas, Austin of Ver­ mont, Bcwah of Idaho and Steiwer of Oregon. Those committed for the measure are Ashurst of Arizona, Neely of West- Virginia, Logan of Kentucky, Dieterich of Illinois, Pitt­ man of Nevada and Norris of Neb­raska. McGill of Kansas and Hughes of Delaware, still noncommittal, were counted as being on the ad­ ministration side. Senator O’Mahoney, one of the enthusiastic New Dealers ordinarily, said: “The hearings have been com­pleted. I have listened attentively to everything that has been said, and I have heard nothing to date which has convinced me that any increase of the court is either necessary or desirable." ■ Senator Hatch declared: “I do not think congress has the power to place men on the Supreme court to affect decisions in any way what­ soever. To do so would be an ex­ercise of judicial power by the leg­ islative branch of the government. If we place men on the court to change the trend of judicial opinions we thereby invade the province of the court and do that which many people have charged the court with doing.” Senator McCarren addressed the judiciary committee, in executive session, for an hour and a half and later said to the reporters: “In my judgment, the Supreme court should not be a department of government subject to the will of either of the other two branches of government. While the Supreme court and every other court that interprets the law should at all times keep abreast of the law and therefore be progres­ sive, it is not for any other branch of the government to say it should reform its views to carry out the will of another branch. For that reason I am opposed to and will con­ tinue to oppose the President’s bill.'*The committee agreed to begin voting on th'e bill and on proposed amendments on May 18. CENATOBS, representatives, de- partment heads, and almost ev­ eryone else in Washington official­dom were worrying themselves over expenditure reductions, taxes, rising prices and falling revenues, and Su­preme court reformation. But Pres­ ident Roosevelt was gaily sailing the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, angling for tarpon. He was on the Presidential yacht Potomac, which he boarded at New Orleans; his vessel was escorted by three de­ stroyers, the Moffett, the Schenk and the Decatur. At Galveston Sec­ retary Marvin McIntyre set up a temporary .,White1House, .and. Mr, Boosevelt planned to land at that city when he got through fishing. ClX months having elapsed since Mrs. Wallis Simpson was grant­ed a provisional decree of divorce, and the lady having behaved during that period in a way approved by th e ldng’s proctor, her solicitors petitioned the court to make the decree absolute. It was expected this .would be done after the six days’, inter­ val required by legal procedure. When Edward, duke of Windsor, and Mrs. Simpson will be married is not yet known to the public and probably not yet determined by the principals in this most famous of modern romances. The duke was so angered by reflec­ tions on his fiancee and himself in “Coronation Commentary,” -a book written by Geoffrey- Dennis; that it was reported he might set the wed­ ding date before coronation day; but later there were rumors that Mrs. Simpson, seeking to avert further criticism, had persuaded him to wait until after his brother had been crowned. Edward demand­ ed that the book be withdrawn and that the author and publisher apolo­gize. ,This demand- Was complied with, but nevertheless he had his solicitors in London start suit for damages on the ground of libel.

The Demo­ crats called .it an economy measure because the appropriations were 19 millions less than the amounts asked by the department heads. But 15 of those 19 millions represented merely a reduction in the 30 million appro­ priation asked by the bureau of in­ternal revenue for the refunding of processing taxes collected under the agricultural adjustment act. The saving, it was pointed out, was more a deferred “economy” in that the IS millions will be included in the next budget. ((fT tHIS is the outstanding finan- cial blunder of the New Deal” said Bepresentative Hamilton Fish of New York, Republican, speaking of the administra­ tion’s policy of ac­ cumulating gold at $35 an ounce, or nearly twice the cost of production. M r . Fish thereupon in­ troduced a resolu­tion forbidding th e secretary ot th e treasury to pur­ chase any more gold _ _. . from foreign coun-Rep. Fish tries at more than $25 an ounce.“The American taxpayers” de­ clared Mr. Fish, "under the ruin­ous gold policy of the President and the secretary of the treasury, have become the ‘angels’ of . Europe, and are . now engaged in helping to fi­ nance these countries in their mad armament race. AU of the nations of the world including Soviet Rus­ sia, have naturally unloaded their gold upon us at exorbitant Profitsl which, if we tried to sell bade, we probably could not get SO cents on the dollar. " ‘This insane and costly gold-policy is almost on a par with the high financing of John Law’s Mississippi bubble.

I. 0. steel workers' or* ganizing committee now claims, a majority of the 540,000 wage earn­ers in that industry. Philip Murray, committee chair­man, told the convention of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers in Pittsburgh that in the 10 months of the or­ganization drive' 325,000 members have been enrolled, equivalent to 60 per cent ot the steel pay rolls. "“We have driven the''company union out of American industry,” Murray said. “No company union can hope to live from here on. Ten months ago the steel workers' or­ ganizing committee started from scratch. We had no members. To­ day we have built up 600 new lodges, enrolled 325,000 members, and signed wage contracts with 89 steel companies.” Seventy-nine women and forty- one men, arrested during the evic­ tion of sitdown strikers from the Yale & Towne Manufacturing company plant in,Detroit were held guilty of contempt of .court by Cir­ cuit Judge Arthur Webster. They were convicted for violation of an injunction which the judges had is­ sued, directing them to leave the plant. ' Judge Webster imposed maximum penalties of thirty days in jail and $250 fines on George Edwards, Unit-, ed Automobile Workers of America organizer, and Peter P. Sedler, who said he was an employee of the Kel­ sey Hayes' Wheel company. Ten day jail sentences wers given three other persons. Sentencing of the oth­ers was deferred to July 15.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF.- For the sake of comparisoi two of us, out lately on a little trip, stayed one night at a way­ side motor camp and the next night at the most expensive tourist hotel in three states, rates $25 per day per sucker. - At the tourist camp, the company was mixed but neighborly and", for the most part, pleas­ ant. The only really discordant note was a lady in the ad­joining cabin who, at all hours, kept wak­ing her husband up, apparently for the purpose of telling him another thing about him that she didn’t like. At the exclusive establishment were many guests who Irvtas-Cobb seemed to be suffering from severe attacks of nervous culture, being fearful, I’d say, that, if ever Uiey behaved naturally, they’d give them­ selves away. Maudy they were dull. Waxworks, even when animated, usually are dull. But stopping at a $25 a day hote! has one advantage, I find. After­ward, you can go around bragging that once you stopped at a $25-a- day hotel. This should be a great help socially.• • • Dealing With Snakes, A CONNECTICUT congressman ** is pushing an act to prohibit importation of venomous serpents from other countries for exhibition purposes.

Some Ume after 1900—in fact, as I remember, it was about 1910—a prominent-lady was asked to leave one of the smartest hotels in New York city because she dared to light a cigarette in the public lounge. As for women drinking at a bar- well, not even the most forward- looking liberal could conceive of so incredible .a sight as that. And now just look at the darned things!• • * • Hardships de Luxe. TXTHEN our plutocratic classes ” decide to go simple, they go simple, regardless of what It costs 'em. A rich couple have just completed a trip out here, following the ancient trails of the early pathfinders. Like true pioneer stock, they roughed it in specially built twin trailers, each about the size of a pullman but much more complete, and were towed by a eouple of Rolls-Royces. The servants, only six in number, had‘to i>utl’up withtwo much cheap­ er cars.; During the entire trip there was no dressing for dinner and thus, with true democratic spirit, w as the primitive plan of the expedition carried out. Every hardship . en­countered enroute—such as the champagne getting all jolted up and the caviar coming unglued in the can — was cheerfully endured. An armed guard was maintained a t night to repel kidnapers and hostile Indian tribes. .

Tweeds and Peats The famous Harris tweeds came Into being through an accident of nature. The freezing winds which swept across the barren islands, of the Outer Hebrides, off the coast of Scotland, made it imperative that the natives-have warm wind-proof, weather-proof garments. WiUi no­ where else to turn, the women of the islands took advantage of the unusually thick fleece which was the winter coat of their sheep, and from it they wove for their men the first crude Hsmris tweeds. Be­ cause they had nothing but the natural dyes made from lichens and crottle, and nowhere to steep'their wool except over peat fires, Har­ ris tweed has always been charac­ terized by a peaty outdoor odor. These tweeds had been worn in the Outer Hebrides for many years be-, fore the fashion centers of the world discovered them and elevated them to the front rank of sports fashions. Washington^ D igest A , National Topics Interpreted B yW IL L IA M BRUCKA RT Washington.—Several weeks ago, I reported to you the apparent ne- _ cessity for presi-Must Cot dential action in Spending the direction of acurb on spending. I have written about this subject many times and I have no regret Uiat I have done so, because for a half dozen years our government has been spending money too rapid­ ly.The President’s latest message reviewing the budget situation in­dicates that the Chief Executive' at last has started his thoughts in the direction of curtailed spending. In­ deed, Mr. Roosevelt’s message to congress in which he asked for a billion and a half dollars for re­ lief purposes was characterized by quite a new note of firmness , in his discussion of the need for cutting government costs; I think it is fair to say that in previous messages the President gave little more than lip service to Uie cause of economy in government. His previous sug­gestions to congress lacked force. Not so with the current call for a reduction in expenses. It had the earmarks of determination—but it yet remains to be seen whether he will insist strongly upon his con­ clusions when the showdown with congress comes.The President’s message was in­teresting in several respects beside the note of firmness, mentioned above. He confessed, for example, that there was no chance for a bal­ anced budget in the next fiscal year. There is no chance, he disclosed, even for achieving the “layman’s balance.” That “layman’s balance” ought to be explained for, my under­ standing of economics does not con­template more than one kind of budget balancing, namely, income equalling outgo. But Mr. Roosevelt, in his campaign last year and in his message to congress last January, spoke of “layman’s balance” as meaning a balance of income and outgo with the exception of expendi­ tures for relief and for retirement of the public debt. I have heard it described in many quarters as a trick balance which I truly believe it should be called since it is not an honest balance. In the January message, Mr. Roosevelt talked at length about the necessity for business taking on workers who were then on relief rolls.. Only in that manner, he em­phasized, could there be a reduction in relief rolls. In the more recent message, the President omitted any reference to the responsibility of industry for reducing relief rolls by re-employ­ ing workers. That is not strange. The fact is, according to the gov­ernment’s own records, that indus­ try is taking on workers at a more rapid rate than the administration had expected. But still there is no hope of a balanced budget this year. So we must look elsewhere to find the reason. Instead of one, we find two reasons. The first and most im­ portant of the two is the fact that, by -whatever analysis you make, the New Deal is guilty of continuing to waste money by hundreds of mil­lions and it was not until a few weeks-ago that any serious effort was made to choke off this drain, assuming the current effort is se­ rious.That statement sounds complicat­ ed and dull. It is not either one. The unvarnished truth is that Sec­retary Morgenthau and the flock, of. experts, trained only in theory, with whom he has surrounded himself, were unable to calculate what the present taxes would produce in rev­ enue. Or, to say the same thing in a few words: Revenue receipts were far below what the Treasury experts guessed they would be.Thus, the picture seems to be clear. On the one hand, the Presi­ dent heretofore has allowed the al­ phabetical agencies to run hither and yon in their money spending spree. On the other hand, the lack of competent financial men in the Treasury again is glaringly shown. * • • To get back to the question of curtailed spending I should like to. „ . call attention toSound• t he President’s Strong; but— language in his latest message. He said that he proposed to use “every means at my command” to eliminate the deficit next year. That statement sounds strong enough. I- question, -however, that it can.be called a program of retrenchment. In other words, Mr. Roosevelt was content in his message to congress simply to criticize, if not to-de­ nounce, extravagant ouUays insofar as new commitments are con­cerned. During the last tew weeks, Mr. Roosevelt has called upon the vari­ous agencies of-the government for statements of their financial. re­ quirements and something of a re­ view of what they have done with previous funds. Considerable bally­ hoo accompanied announcement of. this survey of- governmental re­ quirement. But again, there was no evidence of specific determination by the Chief Ebcecutive as to what governmental activity should be re­ stricted or entirely eliminated. It was like a charge of bird shot. It scattered. There was no target mentioned except in a general way.There has been some talk that possibly Mr. Roosevelt’s message and promise to use every means at his command for curtailing .ex­penditures may have been intended as a message to his own subordi­nates Uiat definite orders were to follow; that he intended his subor* dinates should see where they them­selves could lop off spending plans, and could put their own houses in order. I hope it works out that way. On the other hand, I entertain very serious doubt that such a procedure will ever cause such individuate as the impetuous Mr. Harry Hopkins, relief , administrator, to. cut down on his spending. Mr. Hopkins loves to spend money. He seems to be hap­piest when he has billions to spread around, regardless of whether Uie spending plans really accomplish aid for the destitute. I suspect that congress alone can curb Mr. Hop­kins and the only way congress can do so is by declining to appropriate extra money for him.What I am trying to say in using Mr. Hopkins as the “horrible ex­ ample,” is that Mr. Roosevelt has taught his subordinates to spend money as freely as they can. To a considerable extent, he has let con­gress have a taste of new spending morsels and what politician does not like to spend money! Therefore, the President is confronted with the ne­cessity of educating both his own subordinates and congress to the new order of conserving taxpayers' money. If he does not accomplish this, we will be saying in another six months what we have said many times—that we are confronted with national bankruptcy. I cannot believe that the budget­ary situation looks any different than it did last January. The dif­ ference in the picture is that Mr. Roosevelt at last has begun to see some of the dangers in the situation which he either failed to see or elected to ignore last January. There were few who believed in Jan­ uary that the tax receipts were go­ing to amount to the estimate given congress by the President. The fact that Uiey have fallen short of his calculations by four or five hundred million is a serious thing but it is not so serious that a remedy can not be worked out. The remedy, it seems to me, is a simple use of a simple practice among Americans: When you do not have the money, deny yourself some of the things you would buy if you had the cash. * . * • Mr. Roosevelt’s message asking for a billion and a half for relief served to get the R eu ef • collective mind1 of Message congress off the Supreme court packing plan only temporarily. The relief message caused quite a stir in the house of representatives where there, has been a decided move already to continue appropri­ ating huge sums of federal money for relief purposes, but it held the senate off the court question no longer than one business day. I think there has been no ques­tion more frequently asked in my time in Washington than: “Willithe President’s bill to pack the Supreme court pass?”I have watched the ebb and flow of the tide of sentiment in Uie sen­ate constantly since theTeouttpack- ing' plan was submitted. As the situation now stands, I believe Mr. Roosevelt has the odds in his favor. There is probably a margin of from five to ten votes on the President’s side. Whether that will be the state of affairs when a. vote comes, I think no one can foretell because the vote in the senate is going to be close. Many informal polls of the senate have been taken. The results have varied somewhat. They have va­ ried of necessity because there are many senators who remain, non­committal; and who are unwilling at this time to take a position for or against the President’s scheme.One may properly ask why Uiis is. The answer is politics. A good many senators do not Imow how their home states' feel about the plan. That is, they are not able to determine whether there has .been a crystallization of sentiment for or against the thing. Consequentlyi these senators are. trying towait outside of the playing field until they can'tell whether Uiey can be justified in going against presidential wishes or ca­ pitulating to the President’s com­mand. It is to be remembered that if they turn against the President, they antagonize the administration and particularly the Farley politi­ cal machine. It is rather unhealthy for a New- Dealer or Democrat to oppose the .Farley machine. Another reason why many sena­ tors are keeping their oWn counsel on the court packing scheme is Uiat they believe there will be something in the nature of ,a compromise come out of the hearings and senate judiciary committee consideration.C W estern NewapajMr Unioo.

One of the difficult and at the same time challenging things about teaching Ute Word of God is that its divine precepts are diametrically opposed to the current philosophy of men. In our lesson of last week we saw that meekness and for­ bearance are strong and commend­able qualities in a world which mag­ nifies brute force. Today we are to study a portion of Scripture which shows the folly of living for the flesh, and we are livrng in a world where the flesh and its appe- tities are given full sway.Professors in many colleges are openly advocating the free exercise of every fleshly appetite as a nor­mal expression of life. Morality is cast off; the flesh rules. Many of the nations of the earth look upon boys and girls as merely so many physical units useful in a future war. Motherhood has been degrad­ed into an animal-like function, sole­ ly for the breeding of more man­ power. One nation recently advo­ cated as great an increase as pos­sible in the birth of illegitimate children to be cared for by the state as a measure of national se­ curity. One shudders to mention such unspeakable wickedness, but even so we have only touched the surface.Is it true that man is but a beast? Is there no spirit in man capable of fellowship with God?' Has the moral law of God been abrogated? The story of Esau and Jacob is most pointed and instructive in its . an­swer to such questions. Two New Testament, quotations have been chosen to express the truth of an Old Testament lesson; namely, Galatians 5:17, and 6:7. I. "The Flesh Lusteth Against the Spirit” (Gen. 25:27-34). Esau is a type of the man of the flesh. He was “a cunning hunt­ er, a man of the field.” Evidently he was an athletic, outdoor man of attractive personality, of free and easy-going spirit. He was a hail- fellow-well-met. Had he .lived in our day he would have been featured in the rotogravure, would probably have been in the movies, would pos­ sibly have been a great athlete, and the good-looking boy who set hearts a-flutter at the country club dance.He came from the hunt, and he had found nothing. He was hungry. What a type this is of the folly of seeking satisfaction in the world. It never satisfies. For all its glitter and glamour, it is empty and shal­ low. He had a birthright—a val­uable possession in any case, but doubly so as a son of Abraham. But he was hungry, he would simply die if he did not eat. His brother Jacob, inspired by his scheming mother who was not willing to abide God’s time for the fulfillment of his promise, had the savory pottage ready to tempt him and he sold his birthright for a “gulp of that red stuff,” for so might v. 30 be transr lated.One is reminded of a clergyman who attended the Keswick Confer­ ence in England. He sent a request for prayer to the platform and asked this question: “I have a habit which is dishonoring to Christ. If I give it up I will die. What shall I do?” The wise and complete an­swer was one word—“Die.” Rather should we lose bur body and its de­sires than to lose our souLn. “Whatsoever a Man Soweth That Shall He Also Reap” (Gen. 27:41-45). Jacob and his mother found that one lie called for another, and ul­ timately their deceit led (as deceit always does) to. the place.of reck-, oning. The law of sowing and reap­ing is inexorable. Jacobfledfrom his angry brother. Rebekah thought it would be for “a few days” (v. 44), but it . proved to be twenty years, and she never saw her favorite son again. Let us make no mistake about it. Our sins will always' find us out. Even God’s people must learn to walk uprightly before Him if they are to walk in peace.

UNCOMMON AMERICANS B y Elmo B Westeni Scott Watson "'ZoT' Father of the Dime Novel AFEW years before the open­ ing- of the- Civil war a printer in Buffalo, N. Y., began issuing a magazine called the Youth’s Casket and a little later another, called the Home Monthly. Neither was much of a success. More success­ful was his brother who ran a newsstand and began selling songs on single pages in much the same fashion as the ballad-hawkers of an earlier day. Then the printer broth­ er published a number of thes-* songs in a pamphlet called “The Dime Song Book” and it sold so well that they decided to move to New York city and publish other bobks’for ten cents. Thus it was that a great Ameri­ can institution was born, for these brothers were Erastus F. and Ir­ win P. Beadle and they were the “Fathers of the Dime Novel.” They took into partnership another'na­tive of Buffalo, Robert Adams, and for the next three decades there came from the presses of Beadle and Company and Beadle and Ad­ ams a perfect flood of little books (the Pocket Library, the Half-Dime Library and the Dime Library) to thrill the souls of American boys and to fill the hearts of American parents with fear that their sons were being corrupted beyond all hope by these “yellow-backs.” How groundless that fear was is shown by the fact that spme of the most distinguished Americans of to­ day grew up oii a reading diet of Beadle’s dime novels. Ebcciting and thrilling those stories may have been (opening, as so many of them did, with “Bang! Bang! Bang! Three shots rang out and another redskin bit the dust”) but they were also highly moral. For the Villain was always foiled. Virtue' always triumphed and it is doubtful if a single boy ever was ruined by read­ ing one of them. Irwin Beadle retired from the firm in 1862, Robert Adams died in 1866, and his two younger broth­ ers, William and David, succeeded him. With them as partners Eras- tus Beadle carried the dime novel to the heights of its success. He continued in the business until -889. Then he retired with a fortune built up by the dimes and nickels of Young America. He died in 1894— too early to realize that certain of the Uttle “yellow backs” which he sold for a dime would later seU for hundreds of dollars because they are “Americana” and “coUectors* items”! She Wanted to Be President SHE wanted to be President of the United States but if ever there was a forlorn hope it was that ambition of Victoria Clafin WoodhulL She started under the handicap of being bom in Ohio to a family that was not'only poor but disreputable. And neither she nor her sister, Tennessee Clafin (or “Tennie C.” as she wrote it) ever tried to re­ trieve the family reputation. In­stead, both of them added several shocking items to Puritanical Amer­ ica’s low estimate of the Clafins. For one thing they went in for spir­ itualism and, what was worse, they became free love advocates.. Victoria first- married Dr. Can­ ning WoodhuU but soon discarded him for Col. James H. Blood, a handsome and distinguished Civil war veteran and a kindred spirit; whom she later married. Tennes­see went to New York and won the admiration of Commodore Vander­ bilt who set her and her sister up as brokers. Having thus entered the business world, the sisters set out to prove that women were just as capable as men in other lines of activity. They began publishing Woodhull and Clafin’s Weeidy and with it Victoria started her own “boom” for President. She ran for that high office on a platform of wom­ en’s rights—and kept right on run­ ning for many years. She went to Washington and appeared before the judiciary committee of the house of representatives to demand the right to vote. Of course, she failed to win that right just as she failed to get anyone to take her Presidential candidacy seriously. So she flnallj gave up the at­ tempt, discarded Colonel Blood and went to England where she acquired another husband, as did her sister. Then both of them disowned free love, won their way into^ English society and for many years pub­ lished a n^gazine devoted to ad­vanced views on many subjects. Eventually Victoria settled down into a placid existence as the Lady Eiountitiii of a small town in Wor­cestershire and became, known as “a social reformer who suffered:for mews now generally accepted.” When she died: in 1927 at the age of ninety, the vicar who preached her funeral sermon . told his hearers, “We have been privileged to have had one of the world’s greatest per­sonalities among us”!

Mama, very young for her years, can not resist styles that bring more compliments her way. The no-belt feature of this one is. definitely new, and does wonders for the figure a bit past the slim stage. The continuing collar, which in soft pastels is always flattering, gives the break re­ quired Iqr the all-in-one waist and skirt. The fitted top and flaring bottom make for style plus com­ fort, a demand matrons, even though youthful, always make. Winifred on the left is privately making up her mind to have a housecoat, too; though she is mightily pleased with the way her print has turned out. She chose this style because the fitted, brok­en waist line and front seamed skirt are so very slenderizing. She’s on her way to the 4-H meet­ ing now and has only stopped to remind Betty Ann of the picnic “The Jolly Twelve” are having on Tuesday.Pattern 1285 comes in sizes 12- 20 (30 to 40).

C MAY id, 1937 THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor, TELEPHONE Entered at the PoatoSoe in Mocks- vllle, N. C., as Second-claaB Mail matter, March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * I OO SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - S 50 England now has a new King— George VI. Well, she hasn’t any­ thing on the' old U. S A. A subscriber wants to know why it takes so mticb longer to erect a PWA building than it does when private parties are having the work done. Search iis. Politics is rotten at the best, but when it gets so rotten that, a demo crat don’t want a Repnblican to trade with him or buy his products, it has about reached the bottom. According to statistics there has been at least double the arnopnt ot drunks since wine and beer was legalized. When hard liquor is turned loose in this section it will neither reduce drunkenness nor put the bootlegger out of business. One of our farmer subscribers tells us that he don’t believe the government is paying some folks anything extra for beating mules with extra large limbs or switches and treating them in an inhuman manner. No, we don’t suppose so. The leading democrats in the United States Senate seem to have deserted Mr. Roosevelt on his court reform plan. Big men make mis­ takes as well as those who are not so big. This junking the Supreme Court idea was the biggest mistake the president has made except when he used his influence to have our prohibition laws repealed. Richard II. Simpson, Republican defeated his democratic opponent, L. H Alexander, by more than 8 ,ooo majority in the special election held in the i8th Pennsylvania Con­ gressional district Simpson cam­ paigned on a platform that included opposition to President Roosevelt’s Supreme court program while Alex­ ander indorsed Roosevelt’s stand on this question. This is another blow to Mr. Roosevelt. A gentleman stopped to tel' us a few days ago that a certain preacher was preaching over the radio and that it might be well for us to an­ nounce the fact through our colums. When we looked up the parson’s name on our subscription books and found that we hadn’t received a re­ mittance within the past six or seven years—well, we just didn’t have the necessary pep to write an article about the wonderful sermons. It is mighty hard to keep on fight­ ing for prohibition when even our President, our United States Sena tor and many of the leading church members are doing everything pos­ sible to bring liquor back to all the counties and states. Even our own Governor Hoey went to sleep at the Switch during the recent session of the North Carolina legislature and let the liquor advocates steal a march on him. It seems that the country is headed for the devil with but few people left to put on the brakes. Even the best of our people have been deceived, and some of the preachers voted for a man who promised, if elected, to do awav with prohibition in this country. Just what the end will be no one can say. One Farmer Saves Money. Mr. C. W. Beck, of Moclcsville, Ronte 4, hired the tractor belong­ing to the Davie County Mutual. Soil Conservation Association to pull eomo stumps for him. The tractor was used five hours at the rate of $3.00 per hour oh the job. Mr. Beck reports approximately 100 stumps pulled in the five, hours. The field has been cleared for about thirty but the forest pine stumps had not been removed,/ The stump of one tree which had* sawed slightly over 2000 feel,of lumber was pulled.Mr. Beck estimates that the job of removing these 100 stumps would have cost him at least $50.00 if He had had them removed any other way. The above figures give an avjrage of twenty stumps per hour, or one stump each three minutes, at an average cost of 15c per stump - R R SMITHWICK, County Agent, Davie County.

Washington.- Tbe foes of the Roosevelt court reorganization pro posal added Senator Shipstead (F-L), Minn , to their ranks and claimed “at least 52 Senate votes” against that measure. Sbipstead, a veteran of the Sen­ ate and one of its two Farmet La­ bor members, returned to the city today from a long vacation and lost no time in taking sides in Wash­ ington’s great controversy. “I am not in favor of expanding the court by six,” he told report­ ers "I see no reason for any in­ crease in the court.” The opposition claim of 52 votes was promptly disrupted by the sup porters of the bill, who contended they had “at least 51 ” votes. (There are 96 votes in the Senate. • Tncreasine the membership of tbe court is a temporary and not a fundamental solution,” Shipsteadj said, “a great many things have: been said about tbe court that are( not true.

"I suppose we couldn’t keep it ■much longer. You’d have heard. In fact-I’m surprised IJzzie hasn’t been over already, ranting to you!" Fluvanna shook her head, gave a hopeless sound in her throat. "Don’t you realize what you’ve done? It’s not Lizzie—it’s Ellen! The poor child had confided in me all spring. She was in love for the first time in her life!, . . . Oh, Kezzie—Kezzie!*”Kezia drew her mother’s hands down from her face, which she had covered. Her voice was light . and winning. "Sweetest darling Mother, you'll allow him to come to the house? . . . You said you would!- And you’ll be nice to him when he comes?Fluvaiina thought, “Was she real­ ly thinking of marrying him?” “Yes, he may come to the house. There must be no more secret meetings.”“You lamb!” She kissed her mother. “And you’ll not' say any­thing to make him uncomfortable? He’s very sensitive. He said it almost made him shriek the way the Pendletons looked down on him!”It was Fluvanna’s swift thought that receiving Jerry casually and pleasantly might remove the piquancy of the situation as far as Kezia was concerned. “I’ll be care­ful of his—sensitiveness,” she re­ plied.Kezia looked at her doubtfully. . Then, “I knew I could count on (you to understand,” she mur­ mured. “I’U go out and help Anna get the lunch on the table.”She went out directly lunch was bver. About one o’clock it began to rain, a cold drizzle. The rain was too late to help the baked farms and gardens, but was sooth­ing to taut nerves, strained with too much heat and sunlight. Flu­ vanna wandered about the house rather forlornly. She would take a hot bath, and then a nap. No, she would lie down first. That odd pain which she had so often lately, was coming back. She went into her room and closed the window where the rain beat in. Someone came in the front door without ringing tot bell. She heard Dorrie’s voice down- home?” “Up here, Dorrie.” She sat down suddenly in a chair, overcome with weakness. “I brought you a cake I made myself,” said Dorrie.“How delicious that will be! You’re so thoughtful, Dorrie." Dor­ rie was a good child.“I haven’t had a maid lately. Fve been doing everything my­ self.” Dorrie seemed to seek ap­proval “Did Tillie get another place?” “She had to go home because her mother was sick.' I wanted to do it . . . thought I’d feel better.” Fluvanna bit her lip with the sud­den . pain, closed her eyes. After a moment she heard Dorrie’s voice, sounding as if it were far-off, “You look so strange.” She did not answer. Then seeing Dorrie’s eyes fixed on her in a kind of fright, Fluvanna answered with an effort: “Don’t mind me. I’m terribly upset and worried.” “You know about ■ it?” asked Dorrie, a little sharply. Fluvanna nodded. Dorrie must have heard about Kezia and Jerqr too. That , was the reason for this visit, the cake was an offering of sympathy. “It’s all so sad—so cru­ el.” She sighed. Something leaped in Dorrie’s face; something rebellious and un­ kind. “Hugh told you! He said he hadn’t!” “No, not Hugh. I just heard it today. I suspected something— things puzzled me. I asked Kezia. It took her a long time, but fi­nally she told me.”Dorrie’s lip curled. “Kezia!” Why did Dorrie speak in that tone? Why did she stare at her with such a hostile gaze? 'Sudden­ ly the pain in Fluvanna's chest gripped her; her heart began to beat with quick hammer • like strokes. Faster and faster until the pain seemed to be bursting her lungs. The room revolved' swiftly like a whirling black disk with a circle of light at the center. 1 The circle of light became smaller and smaller until the blackness blotted it out altogether. She knew noth­ing more. Later she became conscious of Dr. Carey holding her wrist, his finger on her pulse. His face was grave;“I must have fainted,” she mur­mured. “You must have indeed." ' A day or so later he said, "You’ll have to face it, Fluvanna; that heart of yours is a leaky bid or­ gan. With care it might see you through some little time—a yeat, two—three. And then again . . .” - She ItetOied to him with no feel­ing «f shock. Had not some in­ ner presentiment told her that it would not be long? “And thenagain----? ” . •“ Three months—six months.” “I won’t burden my children with such news. Death shouldn’t be her­alded months in advance. It’s an individual—matter.” She smiled a little.So her son and daughgers only heard that the fainting attack was brought on by exhaustion and the hot weather. There was some talk of a trip and a change of cli­ mate, but this Fluvanna vetoed and the matter was dropped. CHAPTER IX As the weeks wore by Hugh ex­ perienced the disintegrating effects of split emotions.' 'Try as he would he could not reconcile the situa­tion into ease of mind. It was Uka a broken dish which had been un­ skilfully mended. You saw at once the ugly dark line where it had been joined together. Gnidgingly he admitted that Dorrie "seemed to be making an effort to efface her conduct; she was conciliatory, con­ sulted his wishes in a new way. This last was disconcerting for it continually reminded- him of the reason. She had been wont to de­mand, ndt to appeal. She did not try to get another maid when Til- Iie left, studied a cook book, and had new dishes for dinner. She carefully recounted where she had been each day, as if to reassure him. He had a new wife—but at what price?—he told himself. Although his longing for her did not cease, became more powerful as. he be­ came more aware of it, it was a hideous thing, humiliating him be­cause he was helpless before it. He was often short and curt with her, then to make up for it, was care­ fully poUte. One day he went into a new restaurant for lunch. The owner had achieved the synthetic atmos­phere of a Moorish inn, stone floors, rude fireplaces, and jugs before a drinking fountain in file wall. The place was dimly Ughted and it was not until he had ordered that he saw EUen Pendleton eating lunch­ eon with Rbnny Wakes. They oc­ cupied a red leather wall seat just opposite him. EUlen was talking animatedly to Ronny, her frequent-laughter a Iit- tle feverish in its gaiety. Pre­occupied with his own affairs, he had seen and heard nothing of El­ len for some time, and when Ron­ ny left the table to telephone, Hugh crossed over. “Hello, stranger. I haven’t seen you all summer.”4Tt has been a long time.**Hugh fumbled. “Everything go­ ing well?” he inquired after a pause.“Everything.”44I must be getting back to the office. By the way, you’re Wifii Ronny. How come?” Ellen’s lashes swept her cheeks, then she raised h a eyes unflinch­ ingly. 44I suppose because he asked me.”4Tm squelched! But I thought— I was given to understand—that your interest lay in another direc­tion. That soulful young chap, Jer­ ry.” He saw an odd thing. A quiver of pain, so sentient, so defenseless, crossed her face that he thought she was going to faint. Then die was controlled; she even smiled. '‘Haven’t you heard? His interest lies in another direction.” 44I haven’t heard a thing,” he repUed frowning. 44Mind if I say he has rotten taste?” She laughed on a low note. “Loy­ al as ever! . . . But—people change.” “Yes—they do,” said Hugh slow­ ly. His own predicament made IUm more alive to the remote suf­fering in her eyes. 44Call on me if there’s anything . . .” Ellen shook her head firmly. “Thanks—there’s nothing.” Ronny came back from the tele­ phone with apologies. Hugh spoke to him and then took his departure. He found himself wishing he did not have to go back to the office; the work had gone flat to him and he found himself struggling to con­ centrate on the simplest problems. When he hung up his hat, Miss Ruskin passed with a paper in her. hand. 44Mr. Sloan wants to see you, Mr. Marsh.” He went into the office of the president. Sloan was telephoning but he nodded him to a chair. 44Marsh,” he began briskly when he hung up the receiver, “how would you like to take a vacation?’ Hugh felt a faint perspiration break out on his forehead. “You mean you’re not satisfied with my work?” . Sloan gave a short laugh. 44Look in the glass, my boy. You’ve been off color for a month. Run away for a week or so, play golf, keep out in the open air, forget the busi­ ness. You’re heading for some­ thing—an illness, I' would say—if you don’t snap out of it.” - The thought clicked in Hugh's brain that twice lately he had heard of men sent on vacations Iqr thoughtful companies, mm who to a few days received a wire that their services would no lcmga be needed. 4Tm all right,” he an­ swered brusquely. 4T feel bettor working.”His superior played with hii fountain pen. “Something botho. ing you?” he inquired.- 'Hugh did not answer. . 44Fmancial?**“No.” (TO BE CXHiTlNVEDi SIIOT FROM CANNON FOR A LIVING O n e o f S tr a n g e s t o f A ll O c c u p a tio n s I s T h a t o f H u m a n B u lle t; D o z e n H a v e B e e n K ille d , b u t A p p lic a n ts A re ,, M a n y . By WILLIAM C. UTLEY FOR three hours the show has been going on under the Big Top at a furious pace. Elephants, rough riders, trapeze wizards, tight Wire walkers, lion tamers and a hun­ dred others who dare death daily to satisfy the public hun­ ger for thrills have followed one upon another. Violent, sav­ age music such as only a circus band can produce has added ceaseless, exciting accompani­ ment. But now all is still. Almost sol­ emn, if there can be solemnity in a circus. The big finale is about to cap the climax of a remarkable aft­ ernoon. They are going to shoot a man out of a cannon. A live roan. . . . and to all appearances a real cannon. It is enough to produce awe in the breast of the most sophis­ ticated onlooker, and it does.At the far end of the arena a small army of prop boys raises a net, silently, expertly. Death waits the human cannon fodda should he miss the net. At the other end they are wheel- ing in the giant gun. And it IS big. Despite its red and silver paint, its- very size—the bore must be large enough to admit a man’s body—makes it ominous. It’s AU Over Quickly.Walking beside it is the strange being who makes his living im­personating a shell. He wastes no time. He surveys the situation quickly to make Sure that every­ thing is in its proper place, then swings up astride the lowered muz­ zle of the cannon. In his silver hel­ met, bright cape, white uniform and leatha puttees he looks rather un­ earthly, something like a character in one of those comic strips about rocket men who commute between the earth and Mars. As the muzzle of the great gun is raised, drums begin to roll, height­ ening to a roar as the final angle is reached. The bullet man slips quickly into the gun’s mouth and Tlides down the barrel. It is all ova in a wink. If you are sitting close enough you can hear him cry, “Fire!” There is an ear-split­ ting crash, a flash of flame, a belch of smoke. And hurtling through ISO feet of space goes the flesh and blood missile, landing on his back squarely in the heart of the net. From the grand stand comes a sigh of relief, then a roar of applause. The show is over.It sounds like a precarious meth- od' of making a living. It looks like it. And it is. More than a dozen men have been killed in the United States alone being shot "from a can­non, according to one old time cir­cus man who has seen them come and go. He believes that more than that have met death in the same manner in Europe, although the ex­ act mortality figures are not avail­ able. The cannon stunt is the result of the tireless search of the circuses for new death-defying thrills. As nearly as the old tim as can re­ member, file first stunt in which a human being impasonated a pro­ jectile of vffiiare was used by the Jolm Robinson circus back in the *90’s. In a spectacle portraying medieval warfare, an. ancient cata­ pult was employed. Instead of throwing rocks it was used to hurl a beautiful girl somewhere, nobody today seems to remember just where. Later the act was improved by hurling the young lady to a fly­ing trapeze. ■ « The First German Cannon. This act was spectacular and suc­cessful until the Great War came along, with its giant field guns and super-artillery which fired toe imag­ ination of the world. A German hit upon the idea of firing a man out iff one of these giant cannons as the thrill of thrills to surpass anything that was then being shown under toe Big Top.His cannon was constructed to simulate toe appearance of one of toe 44Big Berthas.” Exactly how it worked is not known, for toe op- eration of circus cannons'has been since that day a trade secret jeal­ ously guarded.. It is, however, known that the power for propvd- sioncame from heavy rubber bands toe size of inner tubes, which were wound back with the aid of a winch. At toe proper time they wae.let By suddenly and toe human bullet was propelled through toe air much after toe manner of. a mis­sile from a sling-shot The fire, the report and the smoke are lagely an illusion, for they do not occur until after toe man has left toe'cannon’s mouth. Something on his person sets off the delayed chage, the delay being long enough to insure his safety. But to toe !initiated, he seems actually to have been fired out by a powder chage. The inventor of the cannon, who played Europe under so many “stage names” that no one seems to remember who he: actually was, performed his act for several years until he had enough money to re­ tire. Then, toe story is told, after years of ease, he was urged to come back,, as a sort of sentimental ges­ ture, tor just one more foreweU appearance. It was a farewell in m every sense, of the word, for the poor 'man, rusty, pahaps, at his rather exacting profession, missed toe net and was killed instantly. At the famed Strassburger fair, the cannon continued to fire more human bullets for the public edifi­ cation. In 1929 it was brought to toe American Sells-Floto circus by a human bullet who called himself Cliff Aeros. The original Cliff Aaos was killed performing his act in Oklahoma City in the early thirties. “Bullet” Cherishes Macel. The Sells-Floto circus is long since dead, but the cannon which has sent several human projectiles to a violent death is still in opera­ tion. It is being used today by a man named W. 0. Paent in the Hagenbeck-Wallace show. For some reason toe circus makes no attempt to capitalize on the fact that this is in truth a death dealing weapon. The human bullet in the act is a young Pole named Boysi Fen- driok, who uses the pseudonym “Parenti” and apparently doesn’t give a hang for the cannon’s awe­ some history. Mr. Parenti, nee Fendrick, is far more concerned Parenti Goes to Work. with toe wave in his hair. The marcel is just about as pretty as Parenti thinks it is, at that. Thae is a picture above of Parenti crawl­ing into his cannon. 'For real­ ism, it should really have shown him with toe helmet which he wears when actually perform­ ing his act. In fact there was quite an argument when the pic­ ture was being made. The photog- rapher wanted him to wear toe hel­ met. Parenti didn’t want to cover his lovely locks. Paenti won out because he was adamant in his pol­ icy of no marcel, no picture. Parenti is five feet five, weighs 135 pounds and is somewhere in his middle twenties. Besides the m a­cel he is toe possessor of a trick mustache, a flashing smile and a gentle, ingratiating, pasonality. He is not at an the tough sort of .guy' you would expect toe enemy to fire "at you if they were real mad...He says there really isn’t much of a sensation after toe first time you get fired, out, and you can be- Ueve him or not. The -first time leaves you a little pale back of the gills, though. “Sure,” he says, 4Tve been get­ting fired from a cannon twice a day for some time now. The only accident I ever had was a black eye, when I bumped into a door in the dak.” Showmanship Is Effective. Italy has offered some competi­tion to Germany as a producer of circus cannons.. There toe Zacchini brothers developed one which uses compressed air instead of rubba. It is said that this makes toe act a little safer than toe rubber-pow­ ered gun, for--rubber reacts to cli­matic conditions. There are three of the Zacchinis, Victor, Hugo and Mario. Two of them are with toe Ringling Bros.-Bar- num & Bailey circus, while toe oth­ er tours county and state fairs. They brought their cannons to the United States when they discovered that there was more money to be made here. The Zacchinis are expert show­ men. Victor, who does most of his work out of doors, is an artist in building up toe crowd by making his act look even tougher than it is. After the net and toe cannon are set up, he will spend many minutes surveying toe apparatus from this and that angle, measuring toe ve­locity of every little breeze, back­ ing the cannon up and moving it forward again, sighting the barrel and resighting it until toe i spec­ tators’ nerves are thoroughly fraz­zled. He has even been known to refuse to go on after half an hour of test­ ing wind velocity, claiming that it would be almost certain death to attempt so dangerous a feat on so windy a day. Then after much coax­ ing by his assistants and a great deal of clamoring by the crowd, he will, in the manner of a true mar­tyr; consent to go ahead1 with the show, entirely “against” his better judgment. Of course, he always lands safely,"right in.the heart of toe net, a bigger hero than eva.Not all human bullets are so lucky as to land in the net every time. There is now with the CUles Bros.- Clyde BeatUr circus one Wilno, who is by no means toe. first of his line. The original Wilno was killed when toe same cannon now being used, one of toe German type, failed to project him f a enough to reach the net. Human Rocket Misses Aim. Lying in a hospital In Buffalo, N. Y., right now is a daredevil who has cracked up several times, but intends to try it again as soon as he is well enough. This is one Al­ bert Bakus, billed as toe “Human Rocket.” Not satisfied with merely being fired from a cannon at 200 miles per hour, which is the speed of a human projectile as he leaves toe gun, Barkus invented a device to w ea which explodes while he is in mid-air. This, theoretically, is to make him appear like a bursting shell or rocket. He crashed toe "first time while trying his act at Atlantic City. After recovering from that mishap, he tried it again in Buffalo. This time the rocket device gave him a little extra “push” which threw him 20 feet past the net into a brick waU. He’ll be in. Buffalo for a little while. Occasionally women, have been used in toe cannon act, but their legs do not seem to be equal to toe strain of the first jolt as they take off. Also, according to Parenti, they a e “too fidgety” and are likely to. be out of position, powdering their, bullet noses, when toe cannon is fired. There a e .at the present a few of them doing such an act with some of toe smaller shows, but toe cannons are smaller than the men’s type, and shoot them only 25 or 35 feet. Such cannons are looked upon with some disdain, by the human bullet fraternity. There a e only four of the giant cannons in use in this country: Parenti’s, the two be­ longing to toe Zacchinis, and Wil- no’s. One' woman who used the giant cannon, a certain Garrett, toe Rocket Girl," recently" cracked up, breaking her nose, at Richmond, Va., in h a first attempt. Almost any kind of person is like­ ly to apply for toe human bullet job in the circus, says Mr. Paent, who owns toe Hagenbeck-Wallace cannon. This year he had 25 ap- licants for toe job, fourteen of them women. None of them knew any­ thing about it, he said. They were just thrill-seekers.It seems to me I have read some­ where that certain,, kinds of break­ fast cereals are “puffed” by being shot from a cannon, but Parenti declaes he never knew af a human befog getting puffed that way. Too bad if they did, he1 says. They’d get stuck to toe cannon.

It may seem strange but it is true tbat the same President who, a few years ago when talking about rais­ ing prices said. "If we can’t do it we will." That sams President now claims prices are too high and in­ fers that the advance in prices has been generated by wicked specula­ tors. How did this Administration in­ augurate the price advance? They deliberately debased our money sys­ tem. embarked upon an orgy _ of money inflation, they sp'it the mon­ ey up and the natural effect was a rise in prices first, because the split, up of our money gave all foreign buyers a discount of 40 per cent and secondly, because some smart people got wise to what was going on and took the logical steps to protect themselves against the dangers of outright confiscation through money inflation. Naturally, there are a good roan\ people who now think that the mar who put prices up can also put them down. Maybe so, but remember this —prices weren’t talked up, they were pried up with a lever of money inflation. Prices may be talked dowr for a month or two but they won’t stay down unless the upward pres­ sure of money inflation is removed. Can it be removed? Can the inflation now in our money system be taken out? Yes. It can be taken out, but this means giving back to the credi­ tors all that which was taken away from them and freely passed on to debtors It means that the govern­ ment will have to spend only $1 for every $2 it collects in taxes instead of spending $2 for every $1 collected now. Therearesomewhothlnkthat this can be done yet all of the tang­ ible evidence points the other way. Instead of wishing or hoping that the government will find a wsy out of this mess wo think it is much sound er-to face the facts as they are and conclude that we will continue on our present inflationary course until that course has been actually changed,- Union Republican.______ Dwight Beard Sentenced To Chair. AtDallas, Texas. Thursday, Judge Adams sentenced Dwight Beard, slayer of a former Dallas city detec­ tive. to die in -the electric chair in the Texas state prison at Huntsville. Friday. June 4. Bsard accepted the sentence with­ out emotion except to state to news­ paper men he still had hope the Governor would commute his sen­ tence to life imprisonment. This is the second time tbat Beard has heard the sentence of death pro­ nounced on him. In Burke Superior court a few years ago he was con­ victed and sentenced to death in the electric chair at Raleigh for the mur der and robbery of Augustus Boun- noas, Valdesemerchant, but later es­ caped death when the Governor com­ muted his sentence to life imprison­ ment. Prison w alls did not hold him very long and he escaped and im­ mediately started on another career of crime winding up in Texas whiere he killed a former detective, was cap­ tured and now has to pav the SU premt; penalty. Beard comes from a respected Galdwell county family but they doubtless realize that his case is now well-nigh hopeless. ' The Platte Country The name Platte Country prior to 1854, was given to tne territory stretching west from Missouri to the Bocky mountains, and which now com­prises the states of Kansas and Ne­ braska. A bill was introduced In con­ gress in-1854 by Douglas of Illinois for the organisation of the territory, the slavery question to be determined by the Inhabitants, In direct violation of the Missouri Compromise.

Mew Jersey CoUese of Agri­culture.—WNtl Service. Although far-sighted fruit grow; ers will take advantage of milo weather to prune their trees, it is sometimes advisable to wait until the latter part of the dormant sea­ son to prune peaches.Pruning under favorable weathei conditions is not only more com­fortable than during extremely cold periods, but it is also more econom­ ical as a worker can do more prun­ ing in a day. Furthermore, an early start in pruning operations is some insurance that the entire orchard will be pruned and the brush re moved before it is time to starl spraying or cultivating.It is suggested that apples be pruned first and peaches toward the end of the dormant season, since there is more danger of winter kill­ing of peach buds than apple buds. Many fruit growers prefer to war until some of the most severe wintei weather is over before pruning theii bearing peach trees. This practice makes it possible to consider the amount of bud killing when cutting back or thinning oul branches on which there are fruit buds. For example, fruit bud in­jury may be quite severe through­out the lower portion of the trees and light enough in the tops to in-, sure at least a partial crop if the trees are not cut back too hard. Bud injury may also be more severe on some varieties than on others, thereby making some modification of the pruning practice desirable. In general, however, the commer­ cial fruit grower finds it necessary to start pruning early in the dor­ mant season and to continue during the entire winter in order to com­ plete the work in time to be ready for the early spring spraying oper­ ations. S to len H orse S a y in g Is A p p lied to O ats Y ield s .The parable of the farmer who waited until his horse was stolen before locking the barn applies to­ day in the loss of soil through ero­ sion.At (he Guthrie, Okla., experiment station of the Soil Conservation serv­ ice two equal-sized fields, one eroded and the other virgin grass land, were sown to oats. The virgin land yielded more than 40 bushels to the acre while the soil-wasted field pro­ duced U bushels. Losing oats, a prime horse feed, is in a way equiv­ alent to losing horses. The differ­ence of 29 bushels is enough for the usual work horse ration for more than 100 days.The eroded land had been in culti­ vation about 30 years, and contin­ ued cropping accounts-for some of the difference in yield. But erosion was largely to blame for the wast­ing of the fertility of the field. H oats were selling at 40 cents a bush­ el, the difference in returns from the two one-acre fields would amount to $11.60. Furthermore, the cost of ter­racing badly eroded land on the Guthrie project was more than three times as great as oh newly broken land. These facts, according to the Soil Conservation service, show it pays to start saving soil on newly cleared land rather than wait until washing waters have carried away most of the good soil which , had developed through (he years. ' A CrIsiv In all lives thereis a crisis In the formation of character. It comes from many causes, and from some which on the surface are apparently even trivial. But the result is the same; a sudden revelation to ourselves of our secret purpose and a recognition of our, perhaps long-shadowed, bnt now masterful, convictions.

There are countless varieties of steel, produced' by many different processes, the method of production depending entirely npon the purpose for which the metal Is to be used, observes a writer In the Chicago Trib­ une. Steel differs from wrought Iron In that It is virtually free from slag, and from pig Iron because It contains less than 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 1856. Still smaller proportions are produced by the so-called add open hearth process, the electric process, and the crucible, process. Of the various processes the last named was the first Invented, steel of eat.ir ages having been produced by still more primitive methods. It was In 1740 that a watchmaker named Huntsman, of Sheffield, England, hit upon the !idea of. making steel by melting Iron In a crucible, or pot Be­cause this process was costly and re­ sulted In a very IImihd output of 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 refining the metal by forcing a blast of air on or through pig Iron. 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. It took years of experimentation after 1856 before the Bessemer process was a commercial success. An Ancient English Law Up to 1827 in England a man ac­ cused of a felony could not be brought to trial without his consent because conviction usually .meant not only death and the forfeiture of all bis property but lifelong poverty and degradation for his family as well, writes J. SL Hicks, Oakland, Calif., In Collier’s Weekly. Hence, both the guilty and those who were afraid of an unfair conviction refused trials— and often died by torture Inflicted to secure a confession. Cleopatra’* Needle Cleopatra’s Needle, the most ancient monument In London, was cut out of solid stone 1,500 years before Cleopatra was born. The obelisk is 68 feet In height and weighs ISO tons. The huge stone was found lying overthrown In Alexandria In the Nineteenth century. It was hewn from the quarries of Ag suan, far up the River Nile. Peculiarity of Fungi Most fungi thrive on rain, but an exception is the powdery mildew so common on red clover, which is ad­ versely affected by rainfall.' Reason for Jack Hornov Story Homer was the messenger whom the abbot of Glastonbury sent to Henry VIH with the deeds of certain manors Involved In the dissolution of monas­ teries. Horner obsequiously handed the parcel, to the royal spoliator, but first of all managed to abstract, the deeds of the manor of Wells, a “plum,” Indeed, and the abbot was afterward punished on the charge that he bad withheld them.

FiveSenators Speak On Court. Washington, May 10.—Five sen­ ators of President Roosevelt’s own party spoke tonight in opposition to his bill to reorganize the Supreme Court. One, Senator Burke of Nebraska, proposed that a constitutional amendment be substituted for the measure to ead “the bitter struggle that otherwise will rage on indefi­ nitely.” Because of the President’s bill and theattitudeoftheopposition, Burke said, Congress is at a practical stand­ still and recovery is retarded by un­ certainty and fear., ‘‘Continued insistence upon the passage of this bill, or of any sub stitiitethat embraces in whatever abbreviated form that plan to in crease the size of the court-in order to influence its decisions, means weary months of continued stagna tion,” the Nebraskan continued, speaking in the national forum of the Washington Star.

An instance was the news report of the death of the last surviving Confederate veteran in Rutheriord xranty, which followed by less than a week the announcement of the passing of the last one of the war -tcarred followers of Lee and Jackson from Cabarrus county. Of course the ranks of these aged soldiers of the Confederacy have been thinning rapidly in late years, but always/there have been at least a few of them left in each commun­ ity or county. But the point now has been reach­ ed when county after county is Ios ing its last one of these honored heroes of the War Between the States. Sad news that of the passing of these former wearers of the gray! With' tenderness and solicitude should the State and each county and' community honor and cheer and comfort the few of them who re­ main. What ever is to be done for their comfort and happiness miist be done soon! How we'shall miss them after a little while!- Charlotte Observer. Jury Service. The Hickory Record refers to the jury selected to serve the pre­ sent civil term of the Catawba Su­ perior Court as being the most re­ presentative in its personnel in years. Leading business men and outstanding -farmers are listed a mong those on the pannel. The Hickory paper does not state how many of these, if . any, will seek to be “exceted for cause,” so we are left to presume that these good citizens are accepting' jury duty—just as every good1 citizen should. But if there were no such pleas for relief from service then Catawba is the exception. rather than the rule, and deserves added commendation. The Record reasons rigbtlv, that ^aman tobe entitled to listening as a good citizen must ot necessity he wilting to .assume such obliga tions of citizenship as he is called upon to perform. So long as we retain the jury svstem.it cannot' be expected to function satisfactorily unless jury duty is recognized as a necessary obligation for those call­ ed upon to serve.” But the eiditor goes a step further and says the courts can do much to­ ward encouraging busy men to ac­ cept such service, by showing them the consideration they deserve, and reminds that: “That frequently a business ex­ ecutive who is prompted by patrio tic impulses to serve on the jury be comes disgusted the first crack out of the box, when an inconsiderate judge causes; him to waste a lot of time needlessly, and make a - num­ ber of trips to Jthe county seat that might have been saved by a little preliminary -planning and a tele phone call' ' The best thing for the jury system would be for the courts to wake up and adopt some business efficiency.:. ' The juryman cannot render- the kind of service expected of him when fretting about things at the office or oa the farm, but by removing such worries as are' needless, the courts wiilbe going a long way; toward eliminating;, the professionaljuror wio has.become such ; a; bane, and jeopardy to justice. —? Statesville Daily NYA Program Aiding Youths. The National Youth Adniinistra tion program In Davie county ha> a group of 10 boys and girls work ing on various projects, it is stated from headquarters here. Of this group, 85 per cent are boys and 50 per cent of these have high school education. These youths are working to pre pare themselves for private employ ment, to obtain better knowledge of work of various types, and some are at work in public offices, receiving experience as typists, file clerks, of­ fice assistants. Several are taking commercial courses in their spare time it is stated. ■ A training catnp was recently op ened at the old Rutherford college near Hickory, and several Davie girls are eligible to attend, it is said. The NYA was established June 26 1935, as a part of the. recovery program. Its objectives are: • To provide part time, employment on NYA projects for young people between the ages of 18 and.25, from relief families; stimulate the de­ velopment of socially desirable pro­ jects and enterprises designed to benefit youth generally; provide funds for the part-time employment of college and graduate students; to provide funds for the part time employment of school students; to encourage job counseling, training and placement services for young people; and to encourage the ex tension of constructive, educational job-qualifying and leisure-time ac­ tivities Attacking The Accident Problem. Dalie Miller in The Texas Week Iv gets down to brass tacks in bis approach to the problem' ot safety on the highways. . There are threevital methods of attack, he says. First in the Enforcement Of The Laws. These laws are made, of course for the protection of life and limb. They have been carefully consi­ dered and wisely thought out. Legislatures of the State have had at their command, in the fram­ ing of such protective laws, the best scientific advice available. This involves drivers’ license, laws inspection of cars, rigid enforcement of all laws havihg.to do with traffic regulations and every legal means that can be conceived to make the highways safe.1 The second method of attack is that of Engineering., This involves the technique' in road building, straightening of bad curves, widening of highways where they are too narrow and dangerous and otherwise seeking,to eliminate the physical hazards resulting from road building. And the third is Education. In the end, it is this which will count.- ■' ’ • v ’ It may be impossible to decrease tie fatalities in accidents on high ways at present by either or both of the two first mentioned methods to a material degree, but the field for educating the public against such mishaps is tinlimited. And it is time that the American people were getting in deadly earn­ est oh this score and seeing that every possible instructional, means or institutions are brought into pljay to this vital end.^Charlotte Ob server. , WeMiistNotForsake Agriculture. .. , We ninfit not 'forsake agriculture C'Why.don’tyoulet| people know where' : ttme wa the 'Amerieaoi m stand I t i ^ j •ia « r ifw ^w ould'told;^tion^It^ v id ^ 'fo rth ^ t^ n ^ n c ^ ^ fli^ w lvides:forth' Stand By The President. Rather startling has been the evi­ dent loss in President -Roosevelt’s mpularity during the last few •noiitbs. Newspapers which formerly were of the opinion that “the President •an do no wrong,” are now express np themselves as being antagonistic to bis policies. Members of Coneress who solidly iatked Ur. Roosevelt in every pro- in-al he suggested, are now desert- ng him. Leading political writers, whose ?olu--r>ns are syndicated all over the •ountry, are frankly critical. People on the streets are saying that maybe the Fres dent is going too far after all. / And last, but not least, wejbelieve that the President himself is begin ning to be slightly worried over de­ velopments that have taken place during the last few months. In or* Ier to get away from the turbulent activities at the national capital, he went on a fishing trip in Southern waters in order that 'he might ge* iway from it all for awhile. Despite all this change in senti­ ment, we still contend that President Roosevelt is one of the greatest lead­ ers that this country ever haB bad. Se has made mistakes in the past and in some instances he has let bis en­ thusiasm get awajr with him The fundamantals of his New Deal are undoubtedly sound: it was only when he permitted himself to be influenced by radical brain trusters that he got himself and the country into trouble. We are of the opinion that the President spent much time on his "fishing trip” in studying conditions as they now exist .and that he is going to prove himself worthy of the con­ fidence which tbepeople have had in him We have criticised some of his recommendations in the past—and may do the same thing in the future —but we are not willing to desert him as so many folks apparently have made up their minds to do.—The State. . • Cause And Effect. D. B. Camck 1 writing for the High Point Enterprise on the subject ot “street noises,” asks; Baveyou ever listened to a person honk his horn in front of the resi­ dence where he has a date, or at a place of business where “curb ser­ vice,” is offered, or at a car in front of him, which for every observable reasons cannot move forward until the line ahead moves? Everyone bas observed (and listened to) such inde­ fensible stupidity, due, not to the car or traffic, but to the sap—and some­ times she is a woman, too—at the wheel. ,Wbat should be the sentence of such an offender to the public peace? Unanimous public condem­ nation and perhaps a stay in the hoosegow, in case you do not believe in capital punishment. Yes sirree! We’ve heard ’em. But publie condemnation nor the .hoose­ gow'will have any effect on .these hardened sinners.

FarmeriConld Affect Nation* The sit down strike suggests an idea to a farmer reader of this paper. In this reader’s opinion if the farm­ ers of the country would' just sit. down for a year or two and not raise any drop the surplus question would bemlved, and the rest of the couutry would find out which, after all, is-the tnbtt important industry-in this coun­ try.

Governor Hoey . that there should be' no sitting down m their little town^ and went about the business of avoiding it in their own way—by arching the mane and leaving a lot to the imagination of the men sent there to help the work­ ers make up their mind about col­ lective bargaining. There waft no picketing, no sit- downs. and if there was violence at any time the papers didn’t say any­ thing about it. But the shirt mill, the plant chief­ ly involved in this little conflict, has 3taged a sit-down Btrike on its own hook. It has announced that its plant will be closed indefinitely^ Two hundred and forty wo; kers may now sool their heels—and think.

Glam or Via Sheer W hite Accents By CHERIE NICHOLAS “ ONEofthe I, newest and > most exciting style notes of the present season in this year of grace is the wel­ come return of femininity. W e say “year of grace” for that’s IiteraUy what it is—a year when gracious lines,. glamorous sheer fabrics embeUished with deUcately wrought embroid­ eries, laces and all such prettily feminine devices are the order of the day. Nowhiere is-this ladylike trend more charmingly symboUzed than in the snowy lingerie touches which are bringing refreshing sprightliness to our new frocks and suits. Swiss organdie, crisp and clear with a luminous transparency, is proving the idol of the hour for the new lingerie blouses so smart this season with your wool taiUeur. It is also to be found in myriads of neckwear items and. wrist wear touches which are this season glorifying every type of costume. Fine as a cobweb, this imported organdie is marvelously practical in spite of its lovely fragile look. This practicality comes in that the clever Swiss, using the pure icy waters of Alpine streams, have im­ parted to their sheer fabrics an ab­solutely permanent finish which holds smooth and crisp and new- looking after repeated tubbings. If your frivolous looking frills are of Swiss organdie they can be popped in and out of the tub as often as you wish with a. minimum of effort, as no starching is required to re­ store the original fresh crispness to the fabric. Handwork is appearing in utmost profusion on this year’s lingerie fantasies. Allover embroidery, both cut • out and plain, embroidered edges and frills, appliqued. lace and finest net are delicate and^love- Iy on sheer organdie backgrounds. Tiny tucks and hand-fagoting are popular too, used not only -M the' plain organdie but also on thefrxcit- ing new shadow-^rintedv^pes. Ih- these perfectly charming prin^, or­ gandies dainty floral motifs and vine patterns show up in clouded white on clear white or pastel-col­ ored- backgrounds, In choosing your lingerie blouse to wear with your tailleur, and you really must have a sheer utterly feminine lingerie blouse to arrive at top fashion, take as your cue the smartness of shadow-print or­gandie. It should be simply styled after the manner of the model to the right in the accompanying illus­tration. A youthful turn-back collar and cascaded jabot distinguish this sheer Swiss organdie blouse which is so daintily shadow-printed in a tiny floral motif. Valenciennes lace edges the collar, bow and short puffed sleeves.Snowy Swiss organdie in a dairfty -shadow print makes the very beauti­fully fashioned blouse to the left in the picture. And listen to this! Fine handtatting, so tremendously smart this season, as are many quaint trimmings revived from “way back when,” edges collar, cuffs and crisp ruffly effect in front. So here’s to get busy and tat, for tatting and hand crochet lace are as stylish at this very moment as they were during the gay nineties. The fashion of snow white frilly neckwear is going at top speed this season. You can find types of Swiss organdie from, prim little bobby collars to low-cut pointed bibs and frothy jabots. See the double ruffle of finely embroidered Swiss organdie that flares so youthfully below a prim little turn back collar shown below in the picture and note to the. right the two-tiered jabot with high neckband and quaint ribbon bow imparting an'aftractive Gibson girl air to a gilet of finest' Swiss or­ gandie. -@ Western Newspaper Union. SMART MILLINERY Br CUERlE NICHOLAS As to smart millinery. JtHe rCviyal- of the ever practical and flattering sailor is notable. Flower trims on sailors abound^ way of.using flowers is to. oorejer the brim with a row- of im y fSbwers as shown here, The tiny blossoms are set in between a double-edge brim in a most Becoming manner. The new sailors encourage the wearing of veils. The latest fad is to tie veiling by the yard over the face-. in Gibson girl fashion bringing the ends to a big fluttery -bow at the back. The other hat pictured has the new and smart mushroom twim.; Its-flower trim emphasizes-the. use of a flower cluster placed at the front of the crown. , SHOES HAVE GONE STRICTLY FEMININE By CHEBIE NICHOLAS Shoes have gone feminine. Fine stitching in hew guises, pin tuck- ings, pipings, puffings and cordings ornament shoes in a soft manner. Nailhead and metal1 eyelets make an appearance. Buttons and buck­les, often leather covered, are de­ signed for utility or ornamentation. They’re often on the side in this season, of assymetric lines. , ' The "Gone With the'Wind” shoes cleverly modernize such Civil war shoe themes as rosettes, criss-cross, ballet lacings, side lace bootees and Colonial tongues. Simplicify is the keynote for this season when the shoe for the .activity is all-impor­tant.'Soft feminine details and new silhouettes are in the limelight. The pump, especially of. patent leather; is growing in demand. Models with dramatic touches at the throat;5 off-sided versions and' built-up styles are of equal.impor­ tance. Colonials with unusual-and -classic lhies are due for glory. Gray, beige and navy aire. important colors tor shoes. , Dress-up sandals are back for this dress-up - afternoon season. Chiffon Capes to Be Worn o by .Dancers TWs Summer _ Cbiffon capes on dance dresses this'' summer will-; be popular, as they give a floating qualify to the dancer.

Front Page News! “Well-Known Crook Converted!” After years of deception, thievery, and all.khtds of wickedness, Jacob, “the sup- planter,” had a transforming expe­ rience of the grace and power of God and became Israel—“ a prince of God.” That , is indeed front-page news and the, marvel of it ail is that we may today1 proclaim . the grace of God in Christ Jesus tor the redemption of' every one that be- lieveth. Memorial day is a most appropri­ate one fdr our lesson, for the first portion tolls us of a memorial stone, and the last section tells of a great victory. We do well on this day to remember the days that are gone, to recall the heroic deeds of our valiant dead. It is right-that we should honor them for victories rightly won and for a noble cause. But let us not fail to recognize that the great battles of life are those fought In the realm of the spirit and that the victories won there endure for all eternity. Every teacher of a class in the Bible.school should with God’s help endeavor to make this a day of blessed memory and victory in Christ fdr the boys and girls, or men and women of the class, - We consider today two experi­ ences in the life of Jacob, both of which have their counterpart: in the lives of many of God’s children in our day.I. A Vision and a Vow (Gen. 28: 16-22).Jacob met God. Have you met Him face to faoe?„Have you_h£d “such a revolutionary experience in some unexpected spot"? What a sacred place it has become In your life. Perhaps it was at mother’s knee, or in a little crossroad’s church, or on a busy city, street. God was there—you dealt with him —he blessed yojir soul—life was changed. Such may be the experi­ence of each one of us. -The place where Jacob had this experience had been known only as Luz. Now it’ became Bethel—“the house of God.” Spiritual experiences are not sim­ ply for our pleasure; they , carry a ,real responsibility. Jacob rec­ ognized this and set up a memorial and made a vow. The depth of his purpose is revealed by the fact that it touched his earthly posses­ sions.The pledge of one-tenth to God is in accord with the Old Testament principle of the tithe. Many earnest believers regard the'tithe as equally obligatory in our day.. Othets con­tend that it is an Old Testmnent principle only. Well, there is no need to differ too sharply on that point, for is it not ^clear that as Children of God all that'we havfe be­longs to Him? Surely then we would not wish shamefacedly to admit that we give less than the Old Testament tithe. All that .we have, comes from His bountiful hand.' He it is that gives “bread to eat mid raiment to put on.” Let us be cheerful ^(hilari­ ous) givers of what he has entrusted to us, that his work'on earth may be put forward. H. A Struggle and a Victoiy (Gen. 32:24-31’). After varied experiences of both' victory and defeat Jacob turns back to his ,own land. He hears of the1 ap­ proach of his brother Esau with 400 men. Before he meets him he spends a night alone. Whether it was in fear or in trust that he ap­proached God on that .night, we do not know. But we do read of the great struggle. It was more than a physical battle—real as that was— for here we have God wrestling with a weak and defeated, .but proud' man, seeking to bring him to the place where he will once for ah “let go and let God” have his way with bis life. Into, the night of struggle at Peniel have gone God’s people in all the centuries, and 10, those who have submitted themselves to the mighty hand, of,God have come out as those that have “power ,with God and with men” (v. 28). Such an experience is the key. to successful living and fruitful service for God. It is still true that “God resistetii the proud, but giveth grace unto ,the bumble.’’ (Jas. 4:6). \ AStrongAnn Give me the pure heart, O Lord, to feel Thy presence near me. Give me the clear mind that understands. Give me the stainless soul that shall return to Thee fearless when my time shall come. And give me the strong arm to defend, with all my heart, with all my.min^with all my soul, the glorfobf Thy kingdom. ■ Doing Bight : I Do right and God’s recompense to you will be the power to do more right. < i, AROUND Ihe H O U SE Fitting Yonr Hat—If you have a tight felt:hat, hold it in.the steam of a boiling kettle.

What will posterity think is tile funniest about ours? Trne history is the record of the progress of the human spirit. You-can not really like an ego­ tistic man, but at times you ad­ mire him. Ideas of beauty change; 60 years ago, young women pow­ dered their faces until they looked’ as if they were ill; and they laced their stays so tight, they were. Now • The Real People— The solid gold in human char­ acter is all that holds society to­gether. How cold law is, considering that it has to deal so mneh with affairs of sentiment. Wounded vanity makes the bit­ terest enemies. . One regrets his past about as much when it has been full of emp­ ty boredom as when it has been foil of sinfulness. It is softies who object to critics. Criticism — good criticism — is what there is not nearly enough of.. But there are-overwhelming oceans of gush. A good scold is preferable to a smearer. of mo­ lasses.Some one said long ago that “Today’s crisis will be tomor­ row’s joke.” Strikes us that the funny, paragraphers have been making jokes about today’s crisis right along.

Get a new perspective on your wor­ries, whatever they are. We see things : in: proportion after a change of scehe.” ; HerUiodded at him kind­ly. "I'Can spare you next week." He turned it over in his mind as he walked home. Probably Sloan was right and new scenes might be a help, might ease the burden. The radio was chanting with a plangent sonorousness, “I got those Decatur. Street blooo-ooes!” when he came in. Dorrie, near it, a newspaper in her lap, was gazing out the window. She started at his entrance, rose, dropping the paper. “Oh, Hugh," she said in soft sur­ prise. “Didn’t you expect me yet?” “Of course—five-thirty. But I hadn’t realized it was so late.” She put her hand absently to her hair, patted it back. “Hughie, I haven’t any dinner ready. I’ve run out of ideas about food. And see—I burned my hand this morning.”“I’m sorry.” “On the toaster. • I touched It when I put it away—had left the cinrrent on. It smarted so I had to bandage it. Will you be very nice and take me.out to dinner?” “I have my moments!" He en­ deavored to speak lightly. “You’re sweet.” She smiled into his eyes.Release flooded his heart, tingled through his veins. “Where shall it be? The club?” “Most anywhere. They say that tea room near the bridge has a spe­cial dinner.” He wanted her to sit down, want­ ed to tell her about the vacation, but she slid out of his arms with a feline grace. “I’ll make myself beautiful,” she murmured, starting for the stairs.As he stood heavily where she left him, her haste to get away closed down on him. Presently he picked up the pa­ per, sat down by the window. His eye traveled over the headlines— the orders received by the steel mills which would put several hun­dred more men to’ work,the dying out of the last epidemic in infantile paralysis, the suicide of a promi­nent banker, the President’s latest speech. On the third page a small item caught his roving eye: Joan Whitney,* 120 Mimosa street, vs. Ctmningham Whitney, 120 Mimosa street, on the grounds of mental cruelly. They were married April 6, 1924, and have no children. Ellen, half-hidden in a big chair, clutched the magazine she was reading and braced herself, for her mother had come into the room. She settled herself in a chair op­posite Ellen. “What are you read­ ing?”“The Modern Arts Magazine.” Lizzie’s lips thinned' disapprov­ ingly. -“It’s harmless, isn’t it?” de­ manded EUen witb sudden spirit. “I suppose you have to have something to occupy your mind."- It was hard* to. concentrate with Mother staring at her, and she read it only because she hoped Lizzie would go away if she saw her absorbed.“How he 'could treat you that way—the cad! My blood boils when I think about it!" EUeii threw the magazine down. Some more bloodless surgery was to be attempted—cutting—dissect­ing—probing! And there was no anesthetic to deaden you to the ~ £ain of the knife held by maternal hands. “It’s exactly what you wanted,” she said in a low voice. “You-didn’t approve of him.” - “I was very nice to him—very!” , “And if he likes Kezia better, he has a right to change his mind. Let’s not discuss it any more.” “EUen, you never give me your confidence,” .. Complained Lizzie. “You always keep me at arm’s length."EUen was silent for a moment, * then - she leaned forward, pleading- i Iy. “ Mother, couldn’t I . . . please don’t say. ‘no’ right away . . . couldn’t I take that last year of art school this fall? I know it is October, but I’d only be a few weeks late. I could make it up. They go. abroad in December.: Please talk it over with Father!: . . . I’m very unhappy here . - . please let me go away!” Lizzie straightened herself regal­ly. “Now we’ve been aU over that - before. No daughter, of mine can : go around studying naked statues ; In France and. Italy with a troop of *, dissolute, students*”; “They’re not dissolute.” - “I don’t care how weU you are chaperoned, - or; how famous .your instructors are—I won’t hear of it. Perhaps some summer you sen' go with me to Europe. Your father will -never leave long enough to take me, so we’U go together! Just be patient.” “But it’s not the Same. I. want the instruction in the class. I want to graduate from Pearson school."“But why in the world do you want another year? You can’t se­riously mean to be an artist?” “Why not” “An artist?” Lizzie’s voice whined like a saxophone * oft key. “With all your father’s money! Such nonsense!" “It’s not nonsense, Mother. It’s seeing things further than anyone else sees, expressing things that others fed dimly . . . it’s some­ thing too tremendous to put into words.” The stiver voice ran off Lizzie like rain off water-proof. She reached up and swatted a fly on the curtain. "I’m sure you paint very pretty picturesoiow,” she said flatly. Ellen knew her cause was lost. Sie wondered drearily if Lizzie had ever been in love—not liking, not acceptance, but had known this lovely terrifying thing she felt for Jerry. She couldn’t have—or sbe would remember. CHAPTER X On Monday morning Hugh de­ parted on a week’s hunting trip with Doc Hiller and two Hf Doc’s friends, both of whom Hugh had met on several previous occasions. Hugh sat beside Doc who drove; Rappaport and Akin were in the rear, together with duffle bags, grips< and gun-cases, and Rap’s English setter, Laddie. Two rest­ less setters were boxed on the trunk rack in the rear.- Toward nbon they had covered a hundred and fifty miles and were approach­ ing the hunting preserve; Doc be­ came more and more enthusi- “ T h ft little burg is Tunketstown. A mile from here we turn off on the roughest road you ever saw— narrow as the gate to heaven, and second gear most of the way! Ihree miles of that before we come to the hike and you see the lodge.” They were driving through coun­ try where rising htils were gayly flying the last’banners of autumn. They Imd the ^colors of a Paisley "It’s Exactly What You Want­ ed,” She Said. shawl, infinite shades of yellow, rose, scarlet, green and mauve. “At the next curve you’ll see it,” said Doc. He had cast aside his professional manner and was a boy out on a lark. Hugh Marsh was unexpectedly with him. He had me! Hugh in an elevator a few days ago, said to him: 'Tm going on a hunting trip Monday, bird hunting, ruffed grouse. Going-'up in north­ ern Pennsylvania where our club has twenty-two hundred acres.” An impulse had made him sueak of it suddenly that way. . Hugh’s eyes had kindled. He had laid his hand bn his arm. “Take me along, Doc! I’m no hunt­er, but I need to get away. Couldn’t I go as a guest? Pay my share?” “Go?” He Iiad almost, choked. Hugh—%o? The damed old idiot! No one he would, rather have with him! “Sure you can go!” he had answered. And they had gone into Hugh’s office and talked over the equipment he would need. Doc Hiller had explained about this club to which he had belonged for three years and suggested that Hugh join it. The dues were only fifty dollars; the comfortable lodge house could .take care of twenty men; they had dammed the stream and stocked the lake for trout fish­ ing; in November the members went for grouse and quail, and in December for deer and black bear. It was a hunter’s paradise. The air was like wine; the fellows were a good sort—no game hogs. They had a colored cook who could cook, like nobody’s business.-Hugh-would be so tirea he would sleep like s baby, eat well, and forget he ever had a steel plant-to' worry over! - Hugh had drawn his hand across his eyes with a tired gesture. "Just the thing—just what I want” Doc shut his teeth gnmly; : Hs. knew what was eating the old boy; He had guessed it before the hintt came. “Here we are," he sang out (TO BB c o N T im sa t S T A R D U S T * M ovie • RatIio * ★**By VIRGINIA VALE*** Fredrie March kins regret the day last year when she told an inter­ viewer that her judgment on screen stories for herself was infallibly bad. Whenever she gets balky abojut working in a picture selected for her, Sam Goldwyn reminds her of her own admission. Then he goes on to point out that she thought "Splendor” was a fine story and that she did not like “These Three.” The latter was her greatest success, “Splendor” brought nothing but complaints from the customers. Recentiy she completed “Woman Chases Man” and at the. preview the audience roared with delight so continuously that it was necessary to take it back to the studio and in­sert some scenes to slow up the ac­ tion so that laughter would not drown out the good lines. - , .I. — If you have ever wanted to be a screen star, if you have ever even longed to visit Hol­ lywood, then “A Star Is Born” is a picture you will adore. It is so in­ gratiating, * it is hard to imagine anyone who would not enjoy it. Janet Gaynor and Fred- ric March play the roles of the girl who goes to Hojlywood and make's" good, • the man who helps her and who loses his pubUc just as she is winning hers. An old, old story certainly, but pre­ sented in a fresh manner, with gay, bantering lines, glimpses of studios and cafes and parties in Hollywood. Here Janet proves that she is a mature actress, hot just an appeal­ing ingenue. There are delightful comedy scenes where Janet broad­ly burlesques Garbo and Crawford and Hepburn. Only the three or, four ranking stars in any studio are given Uttle portable bungalow dressing rooms parked right at.the side' of the set where they are working, so Robert Taylor was rather surprised when he went out to work in “Broadway Melody” to find Geoifge Murphy and Buddy Ebsen occupying a most elaborate one. Seeking out the busi­ness manager, he asked if he couldn’t have a dressing room on the set since he had so many cos­ tume changes to make. “What’s the matter with the one we gave you?” the business manager de­ manded angrily, stalking out on the set. Then he spied Ebsen and Murphy and bellowed “Those clowns are at it again,” and promptly moved them out. When Lanny Boss abandons the “Show Boat” program shortly, Charles Whminger, the original be­loved Cap’n Andy is expected to re­ turn, but Eddie Cantor thinks that Winninger win be much, to busy mafclng pictures.

Scott Watson Apaclie Agent W HEN, in 1873, old-timers In Arizona learned that a twenty- two-year-old Easterner, fresh from Rutgers college, had been appointed agent for the San Carlos reserva­ tion, a gale of laughter swept that section of the Wild West. “Why, them Apache devils will skeer that tenderfoot out inside a week,” they guffawed. But they didn't know the stuff that was in John Philip Chun. Taking charge at San Carlos, he decided that the “terrible Apaches" weren’t so terrible-if they were treated like human beings instead of'animals, as the Spaniard, the Mexican and the American fron­ tiersmen had regarded them. So he made them self-governing by founding the first body of Indian police ever organized to keep or­ der on the reservation and by estab­ lishing courts, presided over by In­ dian judges, to try offenders. He made them partially self-supporting by teaching them the arts of peace instead of war and paid them for the work they did. And above all else he proved to them that he was one white man who didn’t “speak with a split tongue.” As a result Clum, within three years, was ruling 5.000 of these In­ dians, who had been* regarded for 300 years as “untamable,” without the aid of a single soldier. A physi­ cian and a commissary clerk were the only other white men on the res­ ervation. Next he was given a bigger-job— that of capturing a party of hostile Apaches, led by the notorious Ge- ronimo. With a selected party of his loyal Apaches, he marched 400 miles across the deserts and moun­ tains of the Southwest, trapped Ge- ronimo and his followers in New Mexico, captured them without fir­ ing a shot and marched them back the whole 400 miles without a sin­ gle one escaping. This was the only time Geronimo was ever forcibly captured. Several, times later he voluntarily surrendered but John P. Clum was the only man who ever took him prisoner when he didn’t want to be a captive. Cliun’s career of usefulness as agent for the Apaches ended in 1877 when politics brought about a crisis which forced him to resign. He later won fame as an editor and public official in the town of Tombstone but until his death in 1932 he was proudest of the record he made when he was “Apache Agent.” African Victor U IS NAmE is forgotten now but 1 ■* he was once a national hero. For he was the leader in one of the most spectacular exploits in American military history. William Eaton . was hisname and he was a native of Connecticut who had come out of the Revolution as a sergeant at the age of seventeen and later won the commission of captain in the American army. In 1798. he was appointed consular gent at Tunis, and, by his skill and daring in handling the ruler of that country, he secured for Am­ erican commerce complete immun­ ity from the Tunisian 'pirates. But the pirates Of Tripoli were still prey­ing upon our shipping and in 1803 Eaton,' returning to America, se- cnred from President Jefferson per­ mission to try a plan which would put an end to the war. 'He proposed to enlist the serv­ ices of the deposed Ahmet, brother of Yusuf, ruler of Tripoli, lead an expedition into Tripoli, depose Yusuf and put Ahmet, who would then be friendly to the Americans, on the throne. He was successful in getting Ahmet’s promise to aid him and early in 1805 he started out from Alexandria, Egypt, with his army of 400 men Consisting of nine Ameri­ cans, 40 Greeks,-28 artillerymen of various European nationalities and the remainder Egyptians, Turks and Arabs, to capture the town of Derna. His was an-epic journey of .500 days across the desert. During that time Eaton, not only had to endure the. hardships of: a country in which the thermometer never dropped below 120 degrees but he also'had to quell a mutiny, led by the man he was trying to put on the throne—Ahmet himself. But:fi­ nally they reached Derna and there with some aid from three small American warships, Eaton and .his men stormed the defenses of Derna, put to rout the 800 defenders of the city and took possession. For several weeks afterwards he beat off the attacks of the enemy but in June he was ordered to evac­ uate'the-city by-his* government which thus threw, away the victory he bad so splendidly won. The only good that came out of his expedi­tion was. that some of the Amencan seamen* seized , bythe: Tnpolitans were exchanged for prisoners-Eaton Seizedrwhen Kb :'capture^ Derna: Eaton returned to: the* Uuted StateS1 where he was hailed as a hero-for a tuneJ But be was soon forgotten and he 'died, broken-hearted and in poverty! in 1811 F o r D r e ss a n d U tility trig da THE -r&Mks-FER CLOTHES,*: IF I COUL -IKlSioe-I1D PUT ’EM MTXTHY Mollie R., are you going out again?

Edward III, Who Reigned 1327*77, Had Four Sons Edward HE, who reigned in Eng­land from 1327 to 1377, had four sonsr-Edward, the Black Prince; Lionel, Duke of Clarence; John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, mid Ed­ mund Langley, Duke of York. The Black Prince’s line ended with the murder of his son, Bichard H, relates a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Instead of going, as it [might have, to the line of Lionel, the crown passed to that of the Duke of Lancaster. Lionel’s line and that of Edmund Langley were merged, by marriage, in the' per­ son of Richard, Duke of York, who pressed his claim to the throne as the direct descendant of Lionel. In the bitter War of the Roses the House of Lancaster was deposed in favor of the House of York, and three York kings followed. Upon the death of Richard IH in battle, the York kings were succeed­ ed by the Tudorline, a branch of the House of Lancaster. The House of Tudor was also connected with • the House of York through the mar­ riage of. Henry VII, the first Tiidor king, to .Elizabeth of York, through whom the York claims passed. The subsequent Tudor monarchs were Henry VHI and his three chil­ dren, Edward yi, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. Upon Elizabeth’s death the nearest heir was James - Stuart, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. He was already James VI, king of Scotland; and by act of Par­ liament he become James I, King Of i England. The, Stuart kings of Eng­land were the descendants of Henry VH’s daughter, Margaret, and her husband, James (Steart) IV of Scot- . land. Six Stuarts followed Queen Eliza- Ibeth. Then, in default of eligible jlieirs, it became necessary to trans­ fer the crown to another line of descent from James I. ,Cognac’s Wine Business Dates to Ancient Past Early in the Seventeenth century Cognac’s wine business, which dat­ ed back to the Roman occupation, , suffered a setback from competition ,and heavy taxes. Winegrowers, to escape ruin, began distilling their wines. . It was noticed that the prod- uct had a pleasant, distinctive fla- Ivor, and stood in no need , of the camouflaging that until then had been considered indispensable, writes a correspondent in the New York Times. Experiments were- encouraged. The peasants began to practice the art of blending. Processes of dis­tillation and of aging the brandy (this name came later) were de­veloped and improved, and one day —Cognac historians give the year as 1637—cognac,. as now known, came into being. The new cognac .business pros­pered and sixty years later, in 1697, the governor of the Angouleme- Cognac district reported to the king: “All the white wines, without exception, are turned into brandy. Which is their natural destination. Further, English and Danish mer­chantmen come to collect it at La Rochelle, which is very profitable to our province.” Thenceforth the faie of Cognac ceased to depend on salt , or wine and became indissolu­ bly linked with cognac. Mounts of Hand Reveal: Secrets, Palmist Says , The mounts of the hand are the ,raised portions which we encounter iin the different parts, writes :palmist in Pearson’s London Week- ;iy- ,; On the ball of the thumb is the !mount of Venus which rules such 'things as love, sensuality, and pas­sion. On the opposite side of the ipalm is the mount'of the moon, [which determines imagination, ro­ mance and changeability in your 'make-up. >" The planet Mars rules two differ­ent mounts on the hand. They de­ termine the courage, vitality and : fighting instinct which you possess. iThe one on the thumb side rules the physical attributes while that -on the other rules the mind. Mercury, at the base of the lit­ tle finger, rules mentality, com­merce and science. The sun, at the base of the third finger, gives bril­liance, fruitfulness and successful achievement; Saturn, below the second finger, indicates reserve, se­ riousness, despondency and melan­ choly, while Jupiter rules ambition, love of leadership and power, well as the desire to dominate and guide others. When these mounts are well de­veloped it indicates that the abil­ ities or attributes ruled by them are present in force. When, how­ ever, they are ill-developed or non­ existent, they either do not exist in the nature or do not influence them to any great degree. The seven most important lines of the hand which reveal your des­ tiny are the line of life; the head line; the line of fate^ the heart line; the health line; the line of success and the marriage line. Original Home of the HorseThere were no horses on this con­tinent until some 400 years ago, but. it is believed. that the domestic horse was domesticated In Asia be­ fore the dawn of history. Scientists are inclined to think that it is the product of interbreeding several wild species, of which the Mon­ golian horse maiy have been one, says a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Fossil remains of a pre­ historic horse-like animal have been found in America, but these ani­mals had become extinct thousands of years before Columbus made his first voyage across the Atlantic. ,The horses in America are descend­ed from domesticated horses brought here by Spaniards. Coro­ nado, a Spanish soldier, who headed an expedition across what is now New Mexico and part of Texas in 1541, introduced the horse to the 'Indians of the Great Plains. Balkan Gypsy Marriage Customs -The gypsy in the Balkans is able to marry;. divorce and remarry as often as his fancy changes. Each time the marriage ceremony, per­ formed under gypsy rites, consists of both , man and bride remaining tied together to the trunk of a wil­ low tree for one whole night..'Di­ vorce consists merely of cutting a willow branch held between them. Both .sides chi insist on divorce at WilL . I:;: Search for Fountain of Youtt ■ • Anoldwoman .told Ponce de Leon , abouta fountain of youth in Florida when he visited the Biminis, in' the iBahama group;. . The legend prob­ ably originated; in the story of a fresh water spring in .the ocean near the Florida cpast. A Spaniard who ’ drank from the: spring. was said to ' have attained a new lease on life. Titanium One of Seven of Most Common Metals What are the seven most common metals in the earth’s crust? The answer will surprise most persons. Three of the metals, aluminum, iron, and magnesium, are quite well known. Three others, calcium, so­ dium and potassium, , are little used in their metallic forms, but many of their compounds are familiar to anyone with even the most elemen­ tary chemical knowledge. Few have heard of the seventh one, titanium, writes Dr. Thomas M. Beqk in the Chicago Tribune.It has been estimated that there are a hundred million billion tons of titanium, in the form of its com­ pounds, scattered throughout the upper ten miles of the earth’s crust. It is far more common than copper, lead, tin, zinc, nickel, chromium, or even coal. In fact, there is more fcf it than there is of all of these to­gether. )But whereas these other elements or their ores are gathered in a number of rich deposits, the compounds of titanium are fairly evenly spread throughout the 'ground and rarely occur in deposits of sufficient richness to be worth working. Titanium was first recognized as an element in 1789 by an English chemical amateur, Rev. William Gregor: It was independently re­discovered several years later by a German chemist, Martin Heinrich ,Klaproth. Knowing very little about -its chemical properties, Klaproth •deliberately gave the new element ia name without chemical signifi- cance, derived from the name of those giants of Greek .mythology, the Titans. “Little Mac” The nickname “Little Mac” was applied by the soldiers of the Union army during the Civil war to Gen. George B. McClellan. Notice Of Re-Sale Of Real Estate. ' Early-Retirement-.

Both the average tempera­ ture and the extreme temperatures are lower at the South Pole. While the Nortii Pole is at sea level, there is a great land mass, 10,009 feet high and over, at the other pole, and this elevation makes for lower temperatures.
