There come times in every per­ son’s life, we Imagine, when they ponder upon the fate which old age will bring them. They wonder how they will be treated after have ceased to posses earning power if they have been unable to provide for tbeir declining vears while they were voungand capable of working. Most people probably look for ward to such a time with a shndder if they think that they have no In come or a little money laid by to take care of them. Many are too proud and independent to want help of tbeir children or other less near relatives. Some no doubt would rather die younger than to be exil­ ed to some charitable Institution such as a couuty home or even an endowed home for the aged and in. hrm. We admit that the question has loomed in our minds at times, and that we felt very little comfort in the thought that we could go to the county home or, more com monly called, the poor house. Life at the old folk’s home or some fra­ ternal organization, had very little appeal. We experienced enough of the military service in our young­ er days to care for being constant Iy reminded of it by the discipline required'of the aged veterans at the old soldiers’ homes. Later when the new social security plans offer­ ed old age pensions, we could not resign ourselves to the comforting thought that it would be adequate to make our. declining years ones of peaceful bliss. We had thought that the State hospital at Morganton might be a right nice place to spend our se cond childhood.' The grounds a- round the place are more beautiful than may be found at most of the other institutions we had consider­ ed, and the conveniences are far be yond those of many of them; but we dreaded the annoyance of con­ stantly trying to converse with peo pie of superior intelligence as we undoubtedly would find most of the inmates there. But now all of’ our fears, of seni­ lity are assnaged. Our good old State of North Carolina is spend­ ing half a million dollars to reno­ vate an institution which, from its description, will be the ideal place for a luxurious and contented home after we have to admit our failnre in life. When the improvements have been completed in this old building, it will contain all of the comforts and luxuries- of modern homes. Eveiy occupant will have a private radio so arranged as to not disturb any of the others in the house. This is done by using ears phones instead of amplifiers or loud speak­ ers. Every room will have auto matically controlled steam heat and air conditioning or a . forced draft system of ventilation. Each oc cupant will have a private light, hot and cold running water in every room and: plenty of bath rooms in addition to' that. Facili ties for writing are adequately pro vided. and an abundance of reading matter is at hand. ; Amusements and entertainment are not wanting, the fare is excell­ ent,- and privacy is assured, there is ample companionship when it is desired, and there is always one's choice of the kind of visitors one might desire at times. Guards are maintained to assure the guests of no intrusion from the outside and to.protect them-from any disturb­ ance which might mar the quality of their rest and sleep. If one should tire of this, life of ease; even in old age, or if one should come into a fortune by some means after going to this home and wish to establish a ,private: home, there is almost certain release to be had by applying to the governor of the state. It is easy to gain admittance to tbis home. One does not even have to reach a certain age. One may retire to its luxuries at any time one tires of life’s adversities. No red tape is connected with' the ap­ plication, and there are any num­ ber of ways to apply. In fact most of tbe people who qualify for a pri­ vate room in it are regarded as he­ roes, and they ace showered with all sorts of gifts, and they receive almost universal acclaim, and much publicity is accorded them. If they are endowed witb any special tal­ ent which they never had a chance to exploit woile they were private citizens, they will be doubly re­ warded it they let it ,be known while they are guests of the State of North Carolina in its most favor­ ed institution in Raleigh.—States­ ville Record.____________ Social Security Expendi­ ture. Details concerning the expendi ture of public funds—any public fund- is, or should be a matter of public interest. For that matter the activity of any agency created and maintained by and for tbe pub lie is. and rightly should be open to public scrutiny. Thispaper has ever held to that theory, and info* far as it has been able, has mea­ sured up to its duty of keeping the public informed on these things. In line with that program we hare been giving detailed informa­ tion covering the disbursements of social Security funds in Iredell, just as we' gave liberal space for argument favoring the creation ol tbis new governmental agency. The fact that it is not the policy of those in charge of the administra­ tion of Social Security legislation to publicize these remittances, does not altar this paper's conception of its responsibility or shelve its policy .We can understand that in a very few cases tbe recipients of these So. cial Security checks would just as lief their names and the benefi cences would not be paraded be­ fore their neighbors. But it will be agreed that this is a false pride that is by no means justified under the circumstances. It is barely . possible, too, that there may be some who do not de serve these governmental aids, and it seems reasonable that their list ing may serve to purge the roster of some who through deception or otherwise are hot entitled to parti­ cipate At any rate the public, paying the bill, E entitled to a peep at the record. Knowing no good reason why detailed information concerning So­ cial Socurity expenditures should not be published, and sensing many plausible reasons why it should, we shall continue to give our read ers this information so long as we deem it a matter of service and in terest to them, even though such publicity qiay be in conflict with the desire established by the ad ministrators —Statesville Daily. •' Life Expectancy Now 60 Years. According to statistics just re­ leased by one of the large insurance companies of the country. people are living longer tban ever before.

By a vote of more than 900 to I. fjarm-rs of North Carolina in conven­ tion at Raleigh Wednesday called upon the National Administration to come and farther fasten the yoke of Federal control around the necks. Specifically, this vast assembly of cotton growers of the State, sailing under the banner of the Farm Bu­ reau. went on record as favoring a special session of Congress prior to December 1st in order to pass Fed­ eral legislation that will keep them, these same farmers, from planting more corn and cotton and tobacco and sweet potatoes and such than will be good for them. They demand compulsory crop con­ trol imposed upon them not by them­ selves; nor by any act of co-ordina­ tion or co-operation as between them­ selves, but foisted upon them by Fedbral law—a Federal law. we take it, that will punish them with fines and jails if they plant more than the government bureaucrats stipu­ late. One does not know, nor has one any way accurately or intelligently or fairly to judge, whether this is really the conviction of these more than 900 farmers of North Carolina or not. Circumstances are such that, in their judgment, this may be tbe most expendient and opportune ac­ tion to take, and in spite of their Jtyhooping-up and unique unanimity, it may be to them as if they were swallowing a dose of castor oil when they meekly and abjectly bend their heads for this Federal halter. The late Congress- made libera! provisions to peg the price of the State’s cotton this year and to make generous loans in order , to stabilize the nrarket at 12 cents and, at the Presidents's command, this action was taken by the law makers on the ground and with complete under­ standing that, In Exchange For This Federal Concession, The Cotton Farmers Would Be Compelled To Submit To Some Control Plan Later To Be Enacted. Thus, we repeat, it may be that these North Carolina farmers were moved to swap the birth right of independent and self-determing ac­ tion for this mess of government pottage offered to them in the' form of an attractive subsidy on condi­ tion they would submit to this poli­ tical intervention and regulation. Security is sometimes preferable to liberty and financial emoluments from the government more to be de­ sired from, the moment than indivi­ dual freedom. At any rate, even the farmers of North Carolina have. fallen for the sop and, doubtless figured they have made a good deal with the New Deal.

Restrictions of the Southern cot. tob planter’s market began in -1929 when cotton was selling for 18 Cents A Pound. Progress Punished. Writing, in The Progressive Farmer, Editor Clarence Poe ap peals for tax reforms that will make our tax systems promote progress instead of punish it. In part be savs: — ‘ If a landowner now lets his land gully and wash awav the hurt ot this generation and to the impove- risment of all future generations, do our present tax system rebuke or hinder or check him in any way? Bv no means. On the contrary they they seem to try to reward bins. His tax assessments per acre are re duced, and some ot tbe tax burden he has been toting is thus shifted to the shoulders of the rest of us. Our foolish tax system does not penalize him for making tbe coun­ try poorer. It does penalize all the rest of us for his shiftlessness and neglect. "The same foolish policy- pre­ vails in the case of our forest wealth. The man who lets fire ravage his woodland, burn up tbe bumus and nitrogen, destroy the young growth and stunt tbe older growth, what do our tax systems do to btm? Tbey reduce bis tax assessment and tax load of the man who keeps a good stand of thrifty trees and puts out every fire. And every time such a man's taxes are reduced $1 or $100 as a result of his neglect, $1 or Sioo more tax burden is put on the backs of the rest of us who try to take care of land and woods ” Ancient Corner-Stone Opened. The ancient corner-stone of Weav­ er College, at Weaverville, Buncom­ be couhtv, laid in 1874, has been re­ moved with appropriate ceremonies while the institution itself has been sold to individuals for private homes. The cornerstone, qurried from a bluff on the old campground near the college, is now. the property Of Grover Brown, of Weaverville. ZebuIon B. Vance, Governor of North Carolina during the War Be tween, the States and a native of that section, officiated at the'laying of the corner-stone. Found in the cornerstone vault were a small Bible an Asheville news­ papers of 1874, three nickels minted in the sixties, a two-cent piece of the period and a Spanish coin dpted 1785. The Bible and paper crumbled to dust when touched. :. Weaver College was the property of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, during its active operation.

The selection of Hugo L. Black for the high office of Supreme Court justice was a hasty and unwise choice. It was injudicious on tbe part of the President Hugo L. Black had nothing to re­ commend him, even to the President, except that he was a personal servi­ tor of tbe President, an office boy for the Administration. If Black is a sample of the kind of men tbe President would appoint to the Supreme Courttf these United States, then tbe American system of government, indeed, the Republic itself, has been saved by the band of patriotic Senators who rejected tbe President’s plan to control that great tribunal, that powerful protector of the people’s righta. Yet the Senate itself is not with­ out blame for the indorsement of Black. The reason for that indorsement was entirely inadequate and in fact unworthy. Black was indorsed, iii spite of widespread but smoldering and sup- presseu opposition, because he was a member of the Senate body and it was customary for the Senate Io ratify immediately tbe appointment of anv one of its members. Why, forsooth? The reason was purely selfish ard mean. It was in order that tbe Senators voting may themselves be ratified whenever and if ever they, in their turn, shall be appointed to office. No higher motive than that w e s the reason for Black’s ratification. It was perfectly well known thi t he was tbe personal servant of the President, the’ ignoble tool of the Administration, doing its menial work. It was perfectly well known that he was not of judicial mind, hut a violent and extreme partisan, a pro­ secuting attorney in ie:ord and type, appointed to the highest judicial position. It was perfectly well known and frequently publicly statpd that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, a racial and religious organization of utter bigotry and intolerance. There was no excuse of public benefits in his appointment by the Presidentorhis ratification by the Senate. Theonlyadvantageto be gain<d now out of the deplorable and humi­ liating situation which has resulted is the confirmed conviction, the as­ sured knowledge, that no Prtsident should ever have the power to dt- bauch the Supreme Court, and no I iyal hearted, clear-headed citizen 8 and voters should ever permit the balance of power between the three coequal branches of the American Government to be unbalanced or in any way disturbed. Free Americans want their free Government to continue. They want their liberty, they want their democracy, they want their pe-sonal independence. Ibev want government by tbe consent of the governed, and not an autocratic government ruling by personal prejudice and for personal aggrandizement. The unfortunate results of un-American meddling with the American system of govern­ ment should restore our faith in A- mericanism, our determination to preserve the American system as our father founded it. — Washington Herald.

V M SUMMARIZES THE WfHSTJVSSUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEKQ Western Newspaper Union. I B Harry W. Colmer Legion Head Hits Naziism U OUR hundred thousand members " of the American Legion and their families and friends gathered in New York for the annual conven­ tion of the organiza­ tion which opened with a memorial jSB service for dead vet- S j d H erans. Parades, ' g f l l sham battles and Jfjggjl plenty of fun-making marked the proceed- 'jM M | ings, but the former J l l l f l soldiers also gave much time to se- ^ JS U rious business. Har­ ry W. Colmer, retir­ ing national .com­ mander, delivered a notable report on his stewardship, warning against dangers confront­ ing the nation from within and with­ out. Colmer declared attempts to sub­ jugate judiciary would destroy the “checks and balances” in govern­ ment; and he proposed that the American Legion undertake an edu­ cational program on the principles set forth in the Constitution. He asked each post to hold at least one meeting this fall on the basic law. The commander’s warning against perils from without led him to con­ demn severely German propaganda in the United States and the alleged action of the German government in fostering the organization of Nazi groups and camps in this country. This he called “a gratuitous insult to our free institutions.” I President on Constitution ALL orators on the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the sign- ' ing of the Constitution were loud in praise of that great document. Pres­ ident Roosevelt, speaking from the foot of the Washington monument, was emphatic in his expression of admiration for and loyalty to the basic law which'his opponents have accused him of trying’ to under­ mine. But he called it a “layman’s constitution” and a “lawyer’s con­ tract.” He reiterated his asser­tions that the Constitution was in­ tended by its makers to be a state­ ment of objectives and not a rigid document, and declared democratic government in this country can do all things which “commonsense peo­ ple, seeing the picture as a whole, have the right to expect.” “I believe that these things can be done under the Constitution with­ out the surrender of a single one of the civil and religious liberties it was intended to safeguard,” Mr. Roosevelt continued, “and I am de­ termined that under the Constitu­ tion those things shall be done.” Sharply condemning dictatorships abroad, Mr. Roosevelt said there is a crisis in American affairs that threatens our democracy and that if that democracy is to survive, it must meet the demands of the peo­ ple for economic and social secur­ ity and improved standards of liv­ ing. Plutocratic and proletarian dic­ tatorships, said he, are equally dan­gerous. That the President has not aban­doned- his fight for “rejuvenation” of the Supreme court was made clear by the tenor of his address, and it was expected that he would continue that campaign qn his trip to the Pacific Coast, which he began in a private car equipped with a loud speaker. On liis way to visit his daughter in Seattle and on the return trip he was to enter the home states of several senators who were active in opposition to the Su­ preme court enlargement scheme. VandenbergY Battle Cry “ 1 U E HAVE just begun to fight” was the battle cry adopted by Senator Vandenberg of Michigan 7in a speech at .Bay City that was. taken as the opening of his campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1940. He made it evi­ dent that he hopes to be the stand­ ard bearer for a coalition party, as­ serting that a realignment of politi­ cal parties is inevitable. Indeed, he declared, this probably was the one thing that could save our na­ tional institutions. He was not sc sure that the opposition to the Roose­ velt policies would unite under a nev? party name. Said he: “There may be a realistic realign­ ment which will bring like-thinking patriots into common battle front, whether they live north or south of the Mason and Dixon line, whether, they live., east or west of the Mis- sissippi.” What Will Hughes Do? BJECTIONS to the seating or ^ Hugo Black as a justice of the Supreme court on the constitutional ground that the emoluments of the office were raised while Black was a senator brought Chief Justice Hughes back to Washington before his vacation was ended. Associate Justice Brandeis also returned to the capital and he and Hughes, were expected to confer on the matter and to examine the objections. Just what Mr. Hughes or any other mem­ ber of the court could do was un­ certain. Constitutional lawyers agree that Black could not be de­ nied his seat because he was a member of the Ku Kltix Klan, but many of them thought the court, if it decides to take jurisdiction, could .bar him on'constitutional grounds. There was reason to believe this so­ lution of the exceedingly unpleasant matter would suit President Roose­ velt. Should the President ask Black to resign, the latter might re­ fuse, and that would be most em­ barrassing for Mr. Roosevelt. — * — Eden Still Hopeful A NTHONY EDEN, British foreign * * minister, hurried from 'Geneva to attend a special cabinet meeting to which he reported on develop­ ments in the Medi­ terranean situation that- is so threaten­ ing to European peace. He told of It­ aly’s reiteration of its demand for par­ ity in the “anti­ piracy” patrol, and it was believed both he and Prime Min­ ister Chamberlain were hopeful that a rupture could be averted by a partial yielding to Mussolini in this matter. British public opinion was said to be strongly against a complete con­ cession. - Meanwhile events in the Mediter­ ranean were not such as to bolster Eden’s peaceful designs. The Brit­ ish aircraft carrier Glorious report­ ed it had been attacked by a sub­ marine near Malta just as it ar­ rived to take part in. the patrol of the sea. Also the admiralty an­ nounced an unidentified airplane dropped six bombs dose to the de­ stroyer Fearless. The British and French fleets began their search for, “pirate”, submarines, Spain’s premier, Juan Negrinl stood up before the League of Na­ tions and fearlessly presented the evidence of Italian and German in­ tervention m: the Spanish civil war, demanding that the league take steps to stop it. He called Mussolini and Hitler “international highwaymen.” French Foreign 'Minister Ddbos backed up Negrin’s demands in words which were taken to 'mean that if; Italy sends, substantial re­ inforcements to Franco, Spanish: rebel leader, or perhaps if she even refuses to withdraw her forces al­ ready there, France would consider hersecurity menaced. The assembly of the- League of Nations voted. down the Spanish government’s request for re-election as a member of the league council. Anthony H w nki about Our National Bird. LAS VEGAS, N E V .— Those! folks back East who’re agi­ tating to make the turkey our national bird are late. Benja­ min Franklin had the same no­ tion 150 years' ago. Old Ben pointed out that the eagle was a robber and a tyrant and was the emblem of va- r io u s European monarchies, where­ as the turkey was not only our largest and gamest wild bird, but a native of America. To be sure, young turkeys aren’t so smart. They love to get their feet wet so they may die from it. In dry sections, irvin S. Cobb young turkeys have been known to jump down an arte­ sian well 90 feet deep in order to get their feet wet. But the adult turkey is wise and wily, a noble spectacle in the woods and popular in a cooked state, owing to his rpag- nificent bust development and' his capacity for holding stuffing or in­ sertion, and his superiority when worked over into turkey hash. But if we are going to make a change in emblems, why not choose the worm—the humble, dumb, un­ resisting worm—as typical of most of the present populace? It could be a one-sided worm, too, which would save costs in modeling, be­ cause so many of us are the kinds of worms that never turn. * • « The Sucker Crop. PARLIAMENT, next month, will 1 pass statutes to curb stock mar­ ket tricksters, fly-by-night brokers, and bucket shop .operators who, it’s estimated, are fleecing the British public to the tune of $25,000,000 an­ nually. We’ve tried it and it doesn’t work. As Bamum stated, a sucker is bora every minute — and sometimes twins. But the crooks who prey on the sucker crop,. like the Dionne quintuplets, come along in batches. That breed spawn close to shore and the young all survive. Thus is the rule of supply and de­ mand balanced. In good times, there are just enough suckers to go around. In hard times, the suckers, grow scarce, but, when one comes along, the crooks raffle him off and the winner takes all. Anyhow, legislation won’t save a sucker from himself—at least not in this country. He’ll break through the law in order to prove he’s a sucker in good standing in the suck­ ers’ lodge. By the way, brother-member, how many degrees have you taken? * * * Bestrained Statements. A WAYFARER in Oklahoma, who claimed to have starved him­ self for forty-one days, on being asked how he felt, replied that he felt sort of hungry. Investigation showed the stranger had been cheating now and then to the ex­ tent of a clandestine beef stew or a surreptitious stack of wheats, but wasn’t it a magnificently restrained statement? For underemphasis, I can think of but a single instance to match it. In my youth, we had a policeman in our town with a nervous manner­ ism of killing folks. One night, I was passing Unde Tom Emery’s saloon and snack- stand for colored only. A group of subdued-looking customers fetched out the limp remains of-a dark per­ son who had been bored thrice through the heart. “Uncle Tom,” I inquired of the proprietor, “isn’t that Monkey John?” “Sho’ is suh.” “How did it happen?” I asked. “Well, suh,” said Uncle Tom, “It seem like he musta antagonized Mr. Buck Evitts.” • • • Smoked Glasses for Snakes. fY N THE way here, I attended this year’s snake dance. The snake dance has become indeed a strange sight—for the snakes. If the tourists don’t modify their Ward­ robes by next year, I expect to see the snakes wearing smoked glasses. Veteran snakes that have taken part during past seasons.are show-, ing signs of the strain. The bull snakes still hiss—as who could blame them?—but the rattlers no. longer rattle freely, evidently fear­ ing it might be mistaken for ap­ plause. The commissioner of Indian af­ fairs wants the Navajoes to grow- fewer goats. The Navajoes are balk­ ing. Goat hair is a profitable crop; goat meat makes good eating—for an aborigiiie stomach; anyhow—and goat smell is agreeable for Navajo noses. It.seems to neutralize, some of the other perfumes noticed dur­ ing-shopping hour in a reservation trading post. IRVINS. COBB. C—WNU Servlc*. National Topics Interpreted by Williabt Bruckart Nattonat Press Bundtas W ashington, D. Washington.—Wall Street and the securities market generally have been undergoing a Boa Case o f bad case of the Jitters . jitters. It has been several years since those dealing in money and shares of stock have' been so un­ certain as to the future and this uncertainty obviously is the cause of the jitters among all people who dabble in the stock market, whether the dabbling be small or large, on margin or for cash. It seems a proper time, there­ fore, to examine the picture ' and try to see what lies beneath. And, let me hasten to say at the very out­ set that anyone who makes a posi­ tive statement about the securities market these days must be either a fool or a superman—and thus far the supermen who have lived on this earth' number only one. But that fact does not destroy the value of an examination of a con­ dition which exists as a fact. In­ deed, I think a review of the various factors and influences at work now can provide a clarification of gen­ eral conditions even though it may fail utterly to show why men and women act as they do with respect to stock market investments. First, it should be said that Wall Street, as the term is commonly used, is not unanimous within it­ self. The violent fluctuation of mar­ ket securities in the last several weeks might easily be said to be due to the war crises in Europe and in the Far East. Only, those fluctu­ ations are not traceable to war con­ ditions. Rather, the war conditions are used by some individuals as an excuse—an alibi to themselves be­ cause they fail to fathom the vari­ ous influences and factors now at work. I said that Wall Street lacked unanimity within itself. That is true because within Wall Street there are all kinds of selfish groups oper­ ating. For example, an influence like inflation js highly pleasing to the brokers and dealers in shares while the same influence frightens bankers and likewise gives a sick­ ening feeling to those who must buy raw products. Bankers and sound investors as well as tax pay­ ers generally would be quite happy to see the Federal Treasury’s budget balanced because if that were done there would be a much greater sense of security, of safety for those investments. * * * A dozen other* illustrations could be given to thus illustrate the point and show w hy BlackC ase Wall Street can- Involoed not agree. They do not show, how­ ever, why there is so much uncer­ tainty and why the bulls or the bears have been unable to adjust themselves to the future probabili­ ties. The reasons, therefore, must lie deeper. It is possible that the appointment of Hugo Black of Ala­ bama as an associate justice of the Supreme court of the United States has had more effect on the business world than any of us real­ ize. I have heard a number of cor­ poration executives say that they hope they will never be involved in litigation which will carry their cor­ porations before the court on which Mr. Black sits. If they entertained that fear before, undoubtedly the fear is'-deeper-seated and more widespread now that Mr. Justice Black has been publicly accused of holding a life membership in the Ku Klux Klan. Certainly the expose of the typhoon that is swirling around the head of the new associate jus­ tice cannot have any soothing ef­ fect upon the minds of those busi­ ness men who, as corporation exec­ utives, are trustees of vast sums of the people’s money. Undoubtedly, unless Mr. Black can prove that he is not affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, few litigants will feel safe be­ fore the Supreme court. Then, there-comes the resignation of James M. Landis as chairman of the securities and exchange com­ mission which regulates operations of the great stock exchanges. Mr. Landis has been regarded as rather fair, rather just, in his dealings re­ lating to stock market operations. His retirement to return to a pro­ fessorship in Harvard, of course, opens up the question as to his suc­ cessor. This is to say that most of the financial world is hoping and praying that the new chairman will not go off at a tangent; that he will avoid extreme radicalism and that he will not -blame the whole-finan­ cial structure for the crookedness of a part of it. Thus, it becomes easy to see how this minor factor may have weight with some individuals dealing in corporate shares and bonds. Wil­ liam O. Douglas, a member of the commission, has been slated to be­ come chairman but developments in recent weeks give considerable doubt over that result. Mr. Doug­ las is recorded as being a radical. Bankers and investors in -many parts of the country fern that if he is made chairman he will become hot unlike the famous bull in a china cabinet. But, according to the un­ dercurrent of gossip around Wash­ ington Mr. Douglas has done some­ thing to offend Postmaster General Farley, and no man can draw an appointment as important as the chairmanship of a great commis­ sion without Mr. Farley’s approval. Aside from personalities, various phases of President Roosevelt’s monetary policies continue to be dis­turbing and ih addition to these there is the certainty that new taxes must be levied. That is, new taxes must be levied if we are ever going to balance the federal budget and begin paying off the gigantic nation­ al debt which now amounts to more than 38 billion. With a debt at the highest point our United States ever has known, a great many people, including bankers, have become fearful of what they might get for United States bonds that they now hold. It is obvious that this influ­ ence adds to the general uncertainty although it is difficult to measure the exact influence of this condition, or to see whether it is a major or a minor factor. * * • Having enumerated a few of the influences known to be at work, we come now to that Business condition w h ic h Conditions heretofore alwayshas been basic. I refer to general business conditions. New Deal press agents have tried valiantly to make it appear that business is booming; that prosperity is here instead of around the cor­ ner; and that the country has noth­ ing to fear. Careful examination of official figures, however, show the prosperity statements to be _ true only in parts. The official statistics disclose very definitely how some lines of business are enjoying a vol­ ume of trade or production higher even than 1929. They show on the other hand a vast number of fail­ ures, an increasing number of big businesses which are barely getting by—which can continue providing their present volume of business is maintained. If the volume of busi­ ness slips, however, that category of business is going into a tailspin as sure as the sun shines. If a part of the business of the country begins to sink—well, a part of it began to sink in August, 1929, and within two years the whole struc­ ture had fallen like 'a house of cards. I am not saying that we are con­ fronted with another depression. I do say, however, that we are facing a condition that is not at all satis­ factory—a- condition that can lead to a depression as easily as it can lead to sound prosperity in com­ merce and industry. Astute observers and business men in the larger centers decide, their courses upon the outlook for the whole country, not for any par­ ticular line of business or any par­ ticular section. The number of in­ dividuals who see the picture I have attempted to outline in the above paragraph is increasing. As that number increases obviously the wave of uncertainty expands. So, if one is compelled to make a guess why Wall Street is so con­ cerned or so jittery, it would seem that the explanation must lie in the combination of circumstances. No one of them, except possibly the ad­ verse business outlook, could ac­ complish as much doubt about the future. Anyone talking with a hundred different individuals will hear these various factors and influences men­ tioned. He Will hear different weight given by each individual to each factor. * * * We have been dealing with causes. Let us look at possible effects. It .. will be remem-Nou), as bered how Presi- to Effects dent Hoover was blamed for the de­pression. He and the Republican party were punished on that ac­ count and badly licked in the elec­ tions. It ought to be said in Mr. Hoover’s behalf that the conditions which led to the depression bad their beginning long before he was elected President. Indeed; they had their real beginning in the World war. President Roosevelt came into of­fice as a result. He started doing things and gaining the confidence of the country to such an extent that he was re-elected last year. Probably he was re-elected largely because of the bulk of the voters feeling he was restoring prosperity I doubt, however, that Mt. Roose­ velt was any more responsible for the return of a, superficial prosper­ ity than Mr. Hoover was responsi­ble for the depression. But we are coming to another- election. If conditions should be­ come worse and business should de­cline perceptibly again; Mr. Roose­ velt wffl be held responsible just as definitely as was Mr. Hoover. He wiU.be charged with having made a mess of government and any at­ tempt on his part to prove the com dition was natural wiU be regarded as an alibi. The whole thing seems to be, in the lap of the gods and no amount' of political strategy or at­ tempts to amend the law of supply -and demand wiU alter events. C Western Newspaper Unloa.

To be born is only to begin life. The years which stretch out before with their growth, their struggles, their joys, caU for courageous liv­ ing. So it is with the Christian. He is a “bom one,” as we saw in our les­ son of last Sunday. But when he is born again he is just ready to begin the Christian life. The Epistle of Jude sheds much Ught on the dangers which beset the Christian’s pathway and exhorts him to holy Uving and sacrificial service. It opens with a description of the Christian and closes with an ascription of praise to God. It re­ veals the Christian as one who is I. Called In Christ (w. I, 2). The entire Trinity is seen to be active in our redemption (See Re­ vised Version). Jude writes “to them that are” 1. “CaUed”—The Holy Spirit OaUs men unto salvation. 2. “Beloved in God the Father”— for God is love. 3. “Kept for Jesus Christ”—until he appears.II. Living for Christ (w, 3, 4, 17- 23). As Jude began to write of the “salvation” which he had in “com­ mon” with his readers, the Holy Spirit moved him to deal with a very urgent and vital problem—the hostility of wicked men toward the gospel of Christ, and their efforts to destroy “the faith.” The Chris­ tian life includes1. Contending for the faith (w. 3, 4). “The Faith” is the body of re­ vealed truth, the gospel, the good news of redemption in Jesus Christ. ' The world hates the gospel, and attacks upon it are to be expected, but the most insidious assault is that of those within the church (v. 4) who profess to beUeve in Christ. Against them and their destructive work Christians must “contend ear­ nestly,” at th£ same time praying that they may be deUvered from their sin and its terrible judgment (w . 15-16). 2. Observing the times in which they Uve (w . .17-19). Some folk seem to think that being a Christian means entering into a place of se­ curity and rest and promptly going sound asleep. Far from it. The Christian, knowing God’s Word, is keenly alert to the dangers of this ungodly world. 3. Keeping their own souls (w. 20,21). The best defense is a vig­ orous offense. The way to contend against error is to build up one’s own faith by the study of God’s Word, by communion with his chil­ dren, but above aU by prayer “in the Holy Ghost.” And above all there will be an abiding in the love of God and a looking for the ful­ fillment of the mercy of Christ at his coming again. 4. Saving the souls of others (w. 22,29). Soul-winning is (or should be) the normal expression of the Christian’s life. It is his crowning joy. It most effectively counter­ acts error and worldliness. It builds up the.church. Why not do it? Note that there are two types of sinners to be rescued. Some are “in doubt” (R. V.), needing tender and careful instruction. Others are in grave danger, and must be res­ cued by drastic reproof and decisive action. Soul-winning is urgent busi- III. Kept by Christ (w. 24, 25). The doxology at the close of Jude has been a haven of comfort and ^assurance for . God’s children throughout the centuries. Hither have come the strong in faith to re­ joice Shd praise God. Here has been found the strengthening of faith by the fearful and trembling soul who had not yet learned that he may fully trust God. These verses present two truths. 1. Assurance. Our Saviour is able to keep us from falling, yes, even from “stumbling” (R. V.), and to present us “faultless" “without blemish” (R. V.), with exceeding joy, before the glorious presence of God. 2. Worship. Such a God and Sav­ iour is indeed worthy of the out- going of every Ctoistian heart in adoration and worship. Work and Wait Haste is not always speed. We must learn to work and wait. This is. like God, who perfects his works through beautiful gradations.

Fact is, the college-faring and the school-going <from kindergarten to high school age) girl that fails to make a right smart showing of plaid in her fall ward- l. robe simply is not “in it” when it comes to swank in dress. There’s no doubt about it, colorful, youthful practical plaids fit into the campus, the office and the great outdoor scheme of things sim­ ply perfect. AU sorts of plaids are on the au­ tumn fabric list from high-tone dressy plaids of silk velvet and handsome wool weaves down to the most utilitarian, practical, washable types—the kind that go bicycling along dusty roads and then come out “fresh as a daisy” after each tubbing. Bicycling is a fad so important nowadays designers recognize they must create fashions tuned to the sport. The new sturdy washable plaids are proving most likable for outfits of this sort. The girl on the “bike” as shown in the group illus­ trated is fashionably and sensibly frocked in a dependable completely shrunk washable plaid that gives this rider the look of being keenly style-minded. The schoolgirl centered in the picture is likewise alertly fashion­ conscious in that she also selects plaid for her voguish blouse, and it’s safe to say she will be getting a lot of wear out of it besides enjoy­ ing that feeling of confidence it brings to be appropriately clad for the occasion. Another way to subscribe to the plaid rage that is now featuring in every phase of fashion is to wear a true clan plaid skirt and necker­ chief with your new fall sweater as shown to the right in the group. This most commendable outfit is sure to prove an inspiration to the schoolgirl. It was shown at a re­ cent fall style clinic held in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. Viewing the new fall fabrics one becomes fully convinced that'plaids as a fashion “must” are definitely here. It is interesting to note that the more classic plaids are labeled each with its clan name. Also the many smart ways to wear plaids makes them all the more intriguing.In enrolling as a plaid enthusiast we suggest that you line your jacket to match your plaid blouse, or wear a plaid dress matched to the lining of your coat, or top a pleated plaid skirt with a bright velveteen jacket, or enliven your fur coat or your fleece coat with a stunning plaid lin­ ing. They are showing in the stores daring coats in forest green; radiant autumn browns, and the very new deep sapphire blue with bold plaid linings in giddy contrast. Plaid velvet dresses to wear un­ der fur coats is another outcome of the present craze for plaids. You can also find cunning jackets of plaid velveteen. Some are bolero versions with plaid belts to match. If it is just a touch of plaid you favor, buy a dozen or so of the new plaid composition buttons and let them go marching down the front of your dark velveteen dress or coat. You can get all sorts of plaid accessories. There are en­ sembles of beret, bag and belt. There are belt and triangle-scarf sets to be had in plaid.© Western newspaper Union. FASHION STRESSES FABRIC ELEGANCE By CHEBIE NICHOLAS Fabrics play a most important part this year, and by their rich­ ness explain the apparent simplicity of the styles which are the great­ est challenge to the dressmaker. Velvets, lames, brocades, laies, tulles are all in the picture. Lace becomes a happy medium for day dresses, almost severe ih their simplicity. These may be re­ lieved by rich belts, patent trim­ mings, etc. Lighter laces in silk or rayon are combined with a colored fabric lining for day dresses or two tones used in combination as Worth has done. Lelong takes a heavy white wool lace for a hip-length top of a dress which ends in a sim­ ple black velvet skirt, with four rows of the-velvet used at the side front from the high waistline to the hip. Patou oilers rosepoint collars, i-nff or bodice trim with severe dresses—but real rose point. Schiap­ arelli makes lace of gold cord for three huge medallions on the top­ per of a two-piece effect black maro- cain. While dresses are simple in effect, fantasy goes into the head­ gear. Style Sobriety Stressed for Chic Daytime Costume At the height of the vogue for ro­ mantic fashions, mutinous mur­ murs are echoing from the ranks of style leaders who favor simple gar­ ments for wear before the sun goes- down. “Sobriety of the best quality” is the formula advanced by a leading French couturiere as the prime req-'J uisite of daytime chic. “TOiar tailored suits and little sweaters,” she advises, “but have them fitted by a good tailor and 'made of the finest wool. See that each accessory is equally first grade, for one inappropriate gadget can spoil the entire costume.” BE PENCIL-SLIM By CBEBlE NICHOLAS This afternoon frock of purple silk jacquard was worn in a fashion pre­ view for the silk parade held in New York which presented* out­ standing advance fashions created by the foremost designers of the worl3.< To be right up to the mark your new frock must feature the pencil-slim silhouette that fashion demands this, season, such as this gown so correctly defines. The hand­ some firm silks of quality kind that are so characteristically a product of this season’s looms have been found ideal for achieving the new pencil-slim styling.. FORMER MAIOR WAS A SONG WRITER rTlHERE were twelve children in our family and it was necessary to have a pretty strict rule about being reasonably quiet in the house and at the dinner table. My father, repeated so often, “Children are to be seen and not heard” or “Silence is golden” that just to think of those old adages brings back the echo of his voice. I can’t agree with the principle of those sayings. Chil­ dren who are encouraged to join in the conversation are likely to have more self-confidence and to be more social minded. In some cases, their very talkativeness may be golden. Take Jimmy Walker for instance: James John Walker, who later be­ came mayor of New York City and was one of the most popular men ever to hold that office, was borri in New York’s Greenwich Village in 1881. When still a very small boy, he was nick-named “Jimmy Talker” because he could not be kept quiet. His father was run­ning for alderman at one time, and Jimmy was sent to explain that he could not be present at a polit­ ical rally because of illness. The crowd called for a speech from the young boy, and he did so well that his father was elected. Jimmy Walker went to school in New York City, and studied law; but for a while it looked as though he might be a professional song writer instead of a lawyer or a politician. He wrote several songs which were published and made a national hiit by composing “Will You Love Me in December As You Did in May?” None of his other songs enjoyed the popularity of this one, however, and Jimmy decided upon a more conventional career. He went to work as a clerk for the Union Surety Guarantee com­ pany and with his earnings re­ turned to law school He estab­ lished a fine law practice, and be­ came more and more .prominent in politics. In 1925, he was elected mayor of New York City and en­ joyed more mass popularity than any mayor of recent times has known there.-• • * , INVENTOR RAN BICYCLE REPAIR SHOP T HE seed of success is ambition, and Orville Wright was ambi­ tious from early boyhood. He was born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1871, the youngest, of five children, and as they grew up Orville and one of his older brothers, Wilbur, became in­ separable. A highly respectable mid-western family, the father was a bishop of the United Brethren church and later publisher of a re­ ligious newspaper; but the family never had a lot of money. Or­ ville Wright started to make monej k m early in life, going about the neigh­ borhood and collecting old bones to sell to a fertilizing plant. When he was fourteen, he published a school paper with a toy printing press. Lat­ er he made a press of his own and Wilbur improved it. Next he invent­ ed a paper folding machine for his father’s print shop. He quit school in the third year of high school and, with Wilbur, started a weekly news­ paper . which lasted. only, three months. They then turned to job printing and. later started, a-bicycle; repair shop. 'At about this time, they became interested in aviation and proceeded to construct the first heavier than air machine large enough to carry a man. As in their previous activi­ ties, Orville was. the. creative, gen­ ius, Wilbur the perfecter. Theif first successful !flight was at Kitty Hawk, N. C.-, in 1903. and the suc­ cess of aviation was assured when Orville made a flight lasting 62 min­ utes and-15 seconds, in .1908.© -WNU Service. P o o c h e s i n th e P ic t u r e P a r a d e THERE are "blue bloods” in the canine world, just as there are blue bloods 'n the human world, and some of the blue bloods among the pups are just as funny-looking as some of the blue bloods that walk erect on two legs. This parade of champions from many scattered dog-shows i° offered in proof. But no matter how he looks, it is true that the dog is man’s best friend, and anyone who has ever owned a dog, whether it be cur or champion, will agree.

W I T H B A N N E R S SYNOPSIS Broake Reyburn visits the office ot Jed Stewart, a lawyer, to discuss the terms ol an estate she has inherited from Mrs. Mary Amanda Dane. Unwittingly she* overhears Jed talking to Mark Trent, nephew of Mrs. Dane who has been disinherited. Mrs. Dane had lived at Lookout House, a huge struc­ture by the sea, built by her father and divided Into two, for her and Mark’s father. Brooke had been a fashion expert, .and Mrs. Dane, a "shut-ia,” hearing her on the radio, had invited her to call and developed a deep affection for her. Mark discloses that Mrs. Dane had threatened to disinherit him if he married Lola, from whom he is now divorced. He says he does not trust Henri and Clotilde Jacques, Mrs. Dane’s servants. He says he is not interested in an offer of Brooke's to share the estate with him. Leaving her department store job, Brooke refuses an offer to "go stepping" .with Jerry Field, a carefree young man who wants to marry her. At a family con­ference she learns she must live at Lookout House alone, since Lucette,' her younger Bister who is taking her job, her. brother, Sam, a young playwright, and her mother plan to stay in the city. Jed and Mark are astounded when they hear from Mrs. Greg­ ory. a family friend, that she had wit­ nessed a hitherto unknown will with Henri and Clotilde two weeks before Mrs. Dane died. Brooke had arrived just as she was leaving. Jed suggests that Mark open his part of Lookout House, get friendly with Brooke and try to find out about the will. Jed agrees to stay with him. Mark accepts Brooke’s invitation for a family Thanks­giving dinner at Lookout Mrs. Heybum announces on Thanksgiving eve that she has been invited to England. Sam and Lu- cette decide to move in with Brooke and Sam plans to produce a new play locally. After the Thanksgiving dinner Brooke tells Mark that little of Mrs. Dane’s silver col­lection is left. Jerry Field and his sister Daphne drop In and announce they will be neighbors for the winter. Later Inspector Harrison of the local police visits Mark and is informed about the missing will and sil­ver. As Harrison leaves, Lola arrives. She announces that she and her new husband, Bert Hunt, have started a neighborhood fill­ing station. Mark almost makes a break about the missing will and Brooke is sus­ picious. Returning home, she sees Lola talking covertly to Henri. "Mr. Micawber,” Mrs. Dane's pet parrot, is missing. HenrI is ugly and warns Brooke she had better like him and Clotilde. That night while the cast of Sam’s play is rehearsing and the Jacques are away, Mark shows Brooke the missing silver which he had found cached In an unused upper floor store room in his house. A black gloved hand pulls the key from the storeroom door. CHAPTER VI—Continued —12— “Jed stopped at your house for I minute, he’ll be here pronto; the other actors—so-called—have gone home. I’ll say I’m here early. After •they’d walked through the first act, it was a choice between dismissing the cast or shooting them. I had a sane interval and decided not to shoot. I’m giving them tomorrow night off.” “Then I’ll throw a party for the Reyburns and Fields at that new Supper club just opened' in town. ,Give them a let-up from the play. What say, maestro?” “Okay with me. It’s’darned good ,of you. Perhaps I have overworked them, but there is so little time be­ fore the performance.” Sam sat up and ran his fingers through his hair. “With that so near, wouldn’t you think those dumb-bells would know their parts? I ask you! Besides that, the leading man has walked out on us.” “It’s tough. Can I help, Sam?” “Can you help! I’ll say you can. 1Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party.’ Take the lead.” He caught Trent’s arm. “Be a gopd scout. Help a ,poor, distracted playwright-produc- er, will you? With you and the Crane woman in the leads, we’ll make a two-star offering of it. That girl’s good.” Sam’s despair had changed to ex­ ultation. Mark Trent temporized: “How do you know I’m good?” “How do those bozos out in Holly­ wood know an actor will be a wow on the screen sometimes before they give him a try-out? Something here, m’lad, something here,” Sam tapped his broad brow, “tells me you’ll be stopping the show." ■ “That same something couldn’t tell you where I’m to get the time for a theatrical career, cpuld it? All right, all right,” Mark conceded in response to Sam’s groan, “I’ll take the part. Give me the sides and I’ll try to know the lines at the next rehearsal.” Sam caugfit Brooke as she entered Ihe room. He hugged her as he exulted: “What d’you think, gal? Trent has signed up for ‘Islands Arise’! Will he pack ’em in as the lead? I ask you!”Jerry Field appeared at the door beating a huge spoon against a tin pan. “First call for the dining carl First call—” Sam held up his hand. “Just a minute! We’re all invited to dine and dance tomorrow by the new male lead in 'Islands Arise,’ Mark Trent! Sam Reyburn an­ nouncing.” “You in the play, Mark?”“How exciting!” “Dinner and dance in the big city! What a break!” Jerry Field interrupted the ex­cited comments. “Where are your gardenias, Brooke?” His tone set Mark Trent’s lips twitching. Under cover of lighting a cigarette, he caught the girl’s furtive glance at the wastebasket. She put her hand to her shoulder. “Why—why I must have dropped them.” < “Where’ve you been?” “Hi there, nt’lad!” Sam’s tone and manner were those of a stern parent guarding his offspring. “That isn’t a topic'' for group discussion. We don’t make people punch the time-clock in this family.” B y E m i l i e L o r i n g © Kmllie Loring. WNU Service. Jerry Field’s face turned a bright and lively crimson; his voice and eyes were furious. “I wasn’t asking Brooke to punch the time-clock. I thought . I might find the gardenias for her.—I” He stopped as Jed Stewart ap­ peared on the threshold. He was tapping a gardenia against his lips. “Run to earth, Mark. Who’s the charmer who leaves a flower out­ side your door?” CBAPTEB vn An hour later Jed Stewart slumped deeper into a crimson- cushioned chair in Mark Trent’s li­ brary and demanded: “How was I to know that Field had brought Brooke the gardenias? Didn’t he ' look - like a meat-axe though, when I barged into Lookout House waving that flower and giving the whole show away by telling where I picked it up? Fm the origi­ nal village cut-up, I am.” He lighted his pipe. “It wasn’t all my fault. I didn’t know, did I, Mark, that you and she had been cruising round this house?”“You didn’t. I hadn’t told you then that I had discovered Aunt Mary Amanda’s silver parked in a storeroom. Decided to wait till I had the goods on someone, but I couldn’t resist the temptation to show it to Brooke. You should have seen her eyes when she saw it piled on that table.” He poked the fire till orange and scarlet flames, shot with pale “Started for the Sole Purpose of Chiseling Money OC Me, I Sus- . pect.” green, roared up the chimney and sent a tangy puff of wood smoke into the room. The sharp ring of the phone broke the silence. “Trent speaking.—Lola! What do you want?—Not interested. If you like selling gas, sell it, only remem­ ber that the allowance stops.—Is she? Mrs. Gregory’s word goes, here. You should have made sure of that before you set up shop.'— What? What sort of paper?” Mark Trent looked at Jed Stewart -who had come close and was moving his lips without making a^sound. He nodded understanding."' “I haven’t rung off.—Yes, I heard what you said. I can’t imagine how any pa­ per you may have will interest me, but bring it here-tomorrow at five. —Sure, I’ll be alone.—Yes. Good- by.” . Mark Trent cradled the telephone. He looked up at his friend. “Lola has a ‘paper’ to sell me. She suggested that I have my check-' book in hand tomorrow. What do you make of it?” ‘If it is the 'Paperf Mrs. Gregory witnessed, how could she get hold of it?” “Henri?” “She said he had written to her, didn’t she? She’s bringing it tomor­ row afternoon! There’s a catch in it somewhere. It sounds too easy. You don’t think she’ll back out at the last minute, do you, Mark?” “Not if there' is money in'it. She said also that Mrs. Gregory was putting the filling-station out of busi­ ness. It was started without a li­ cense. Started for the sole purpose of chiseling money off me, I sus­ pect.” ^ “Right as usual. What say we call this an evening? I’m due in court in.the morning in my best Gentlemen ot the Jury style; fur­ thermore, we’ll need our brains run­ ning wide open when Lola comes at five. She has a *paper* to sell! Won’t we feel cheap about our sus­ picions of Brooke if it'proves to be the ‘paper’ we’re after?’? ' "I stopped suspecting her some time ago. Shall we go up? We are getting provincial. If we were in town we’d be just beginning to go places. Toddle along. Tll put out the lights.” ' Mark banked the fire before .he ran up the stairs. : Jed Stewart yawned as he stood at his door. “In spite of the' late excitement, I’m sleepy.. Nightie-night, Mark, ril drop our problem into what the psychologists call the deep mind. Perhaps it will flo%t to the top in the morning all nicely solved.” He was whistling softly as he closed his bedroom door. Mark crossed his dark room to the window. What a night! The sky was powdered with stars. The sparks of gold were like the lights in Brooke Reyburn’s eyes when she was happy or thrilled, and she had been thrilled when she had heard of his plan to dine and dance in town. He drew the gardenia from his pocket. Nothing beautiful about it now but the leaves. He didn’t need a paper which Lola Hunt might pro­ duce to clear his mind of suspi­ cion that Brooke had influenced his aunt in anyway. -He drew the flash light from his coat pocket. Lucky he had thought of it when he had taken Brooke to see the silver. “Mark!. Mark!” Jed’s voice? He laid the flower on the dresser before he. opened the door. With the electric torch still in his hand he crossed the hail and knocked at Jed Stewart’s door. He knocked again. Why didn’t he an­ swer? He flung open the door. A coat had been hung over the back of a chair. A shoe lay on the floor. Cold air was stirring the chintz hangings. Where did it come from? The bath-room! Mark sprinted to the door and stopped iri amaze­ ment. The window was wide open, but the air was strongly scented with perfume. The shower was drip­ ping. Shaving materials were flung about as if hastily dropped. He thrust his head out of the win­ dow. There were two ways to es­ cape from the little balcony under it Drop to the terrace, or through Lookout House. Had Jed and an in­truder crashed in there? Brooke would be frightened. He’d follow them. He sprung his leg over the sill. “Stop!” He went rigid in obedience to the hoarse warning, but only for an in­ stant. Why was he perching like a dummy with the light, from the room behind making him a perfect target for the person who had grunt­ ed? He moved his leg. No response to that from the balcony. Quickly he flashed his powerful light in the direction from which the ,sound had come. That would blind the per­ son watching. His eyes followed the light. In his amazement he lost his balance and pitched forward. At one comer of the railing, blinking and shivering in the glare, huddled the run-away green parrot. Held up by a bird! He slid to the balcony. Reached for Mr. Micaw­ ber, grabbed him, flung him into the room behind him. He could hear the parrot squawking with fury as he dosed the window. “That seems to be that! Now, where’s Jed?” He peered over the railing. No uprights on this balcony to slide down. The next one had iron trel­ lises which connected it with the stone terrace. Had Jed entered Lookout House by the window? Who occupied the room of the next house which opened on-it? He would in­ vestigate. He tiptoed to the window, reduced the light in his torch before-he flashed it over the glass. The shade was closely drawn and the sash locked. No one could have gone in there, dracks of light were visi­ ble in the two rooms beyond where French windows opened on another balcony. Had Jed entered that light­ ed room? How could he get there? He was too stout to swing across. Could he himself do it? He appraised the distance, stepped over, and swung. Cautiously he stepped over the rail and ripped his hands from the frosty iron. With his heairt drumming like an airplane motor he concentrated his attention on the window. A crack of light showed between the hang­ ings. Whose room was it? Should he take.a chance that it was Sam’s or Brooke’s and tap lightly? A window was being opened cau­ tiously. Where? He flattened him­ self against the house. Must be the end balcony outside the studio. He visualized the interior as he had seen it the day he had helped Jerry Field sketch in the tree trunks on the backdrop. Someone was crawl­ing out! A man! .He was sliding down an iron trellis like a monkey! Now he was running across the lawn bent double! He was entering the garage! Mark Trent crammed the electric torch into his pocket and swung a leg over the railing. He hitched along till his feet found an up­ right, went down hand over hand, his palms sticking painfully to the iron as he moved them. From purple tree shadow to pur­ ple tree shadow he skulked. Near the garage he hid behind shrubs. The dick of a lock! He held his breath as he listened. Who had been in the Lookout House garage at this time of night? Whoever it was, was leaving. He could hear cautious footsteps. An automobile starting! He strained his ears. It was speeding down the street to* ward the causeway. That didn’t prove anything, it would be easy enough to turn into a side road and cut back.. Was the man who had sneaked from the house driving? Had he stolen the car? Even'so, hi couldn’t follow it, he must find'out why he had entered the garage, i (TO BE CONTINUED) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I S T A R * I D U S T I * A L o v ie • R a J io $* ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE*** M aTPHE Prisoner of Zenda” i A threatens to become ev­ erybody’s favorite picture. Girls love it because it is tenderly fo- mantic, boys are crazy about it I because it is a thrilling adven­ ture story, and the old folks like the pomp and circumstance oi the court scenes. Of course, the mere fact of Honald Colman’s presence is enough to bring crowds to the box offices. He plays a dual role and the only complaint is that Madeline Car­ roll does not play two parts too. She is probably the most utterly charming heroine of the year— any year. N - » Miriam Hopkins Hollywood had a lot of surprises recently that sent all the girls scurrying out to buy |§ presents. !Brian: Hopkins up and eloped with Anatol Litvak, the director, and Alice Faye and Tony Martin rushec1 off to Yuma, Ariz., and got married Religious differences had caused the breaking of their ea gagement several times, she being Catholic, he Jewish. To make matters more complicated both had anti­ marriage clauses in their contracts with Twentieth Century-Fox. The studio has forgiven them, but par­ ents are said to be still pouting. Mr. Litvak, Miss Hopkins’ new groom, has just finished directing Claudette Colbert in “Tonight’s Our Night,” at Warner Brothers’. No one over there will ever forget him. In a scene that took place in a market he insisted on having real geese, turkeys, and chickens. The hot sun got in its deadly work and players had great difficulty going through their scenes without hold­ ing their noses. Finally the studio had to replace the poultry every few hours, but'all attempts to use papier mache ones failed. Mr. Lit­ vak detected the imitations at once and refused to work until real ones were provided. Claudette Colbert’s good humor made a host of friends for her on the Warner lot and everyone is sorry uat she was loaned to them for only one picture. One afternoon almost everyone’s nerves were shat­ tered by the many repetitions of a scene. While she was talking to Charles Boyer, a dog was supposed to come in carrying a shoe in its mouth. Over and over the scene was played, but the dog never came, In at just the right moment. Finally Miss Colbert, serene and fresh as an April morning, 'suggested that the director let the dog play the scene with Boyer and she would come in on aU fours carrying a shoe in her month! Ever since James Cagney walked out of the Warner studio and went to work for Grand National where he is as happy as can be, there have been battles between the stu­ dio and their players. Now Joan Blondell is on strike. She thinks she has been working too hard and refuses to start on the new picture scheduled for her. Kay Francis is trying to break her contract . . . says that she signed it only be­ cause they promised to give her the leading role in “Tonight’s Our Night.” And after all, they gave the role to Claudette Colbert. Bing Crosby’s absence from his radio program still leaves a big gap in Thursday night’s entertainment, but at last there is a new picture of his to be seen and heard while we wait for his return to the air waves. “Double or Nothing” is pleasant and casual and .ami­ able, just like all Crosby pictures. Three of the songs are real hits—“It’s BingCrosby the Natural Thing to Do,” “It’s Oh—It’s Ofi,” and “The Moon Got Into My Eyes.” Martha Raye is there with her frenzied buf­ foonery, and Maiy Carlisle makes the prettiest heroine he ever had. ODDS JND ENDS—Ever since Nelson Eddy joined Ida Lupino and Charlie Mc­Carthy in that goofy spy travesty on the Simday evening coffee hour, radio and picture fans have been begging him to play in a motion-picture comedy. . .

" It was Benjamin Franklin who said: ‘'They that give up essen­ tial liberty to obtain a little temoo- rary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty” Senator Borah, in his nation wide radio address on the Constitution on the eve of Constitution Day, re echoed those thoughtful words of a man who helped to give us our great charter of liberty in the fol lowing sentences: “The things to be done, it is ar­ gued. are so big, so vast, that they must be done by the Government and the citizen must yield up al! discretion, all judgment, .together with most of his ancient privileges and his personal liberty.

All the household goods were destroyed with no insurance. The Republican county candi­ dates opened the campaign at Che­ shire’s school house last Thursday night. About 50 were present While coming from the. Winston fair last Wednesday night, T. P. Foster had the misfortune to Ket his Ford car tom up right badly. The accident happened near- Mace­ donia church. He was meeting a car and in some manner the cars ran together, smashing the radia­ tor, tearing off one wheel and also smashing the wind shield of Mr. Foster’s car. Tbe other car was damaged right much. No one was hurt except Mr. Foster, who re ceived a few cuts. Sunday afternoon T. V. Terrell, formerly of Cooleemee, but now of Concord, while on his way home from a visit to his family at Coo leemee, suffered a bad and perhaps fatal, accident. Mr. Terrell was driving a Ford runabout, and when near the Bost school house, just beyond South River, in turning out of the road for an auto, he ran his car up a steep bank, and the car turned over, throwing him beneath ic. John Leach, the jitney driver, together with some of the passen gers. got the car off of Mr. Ter­ rell, and Mt. Leach brought him back to his home. Upon examina tion it was found that two of bis ribs were broken and that he had suffered internal injuries. But lit­ tle hope is entertained for his re covery. ' ' What came near being a serious fire, occurred about .9:30 o’clock Saturday morning, when the roof of C. L. Thompson’s residence on Church street, caught bn fire. v.The alarm was sounded, and the citi zens of the town responded; nobly. Heroic work by the bucket brigade saved the building. It is supposed the fire started from a defective Thoughts On Adver- Tbe business which can get along without advertising is the business which can use it most effectively. If the merchandise Is right; if the service meets public approval; if the arrangement of the store is in ac cordance with modern practice; if the. management is efficient and the prices are right, that business may be able to get along without adver­ tising. Butitwould do much better with an effective program of presenting its many advantages to the public Too many merchants believe that advertising can be used onlv when prices are slashed, and some special sales event is to be staged. They look upon advertising as an agency for moving merchandise that will not readily sell. In all this they are falling into a serious error. Advertising should be employed to increase business in commodities that people want. ‘ ’Advertise onlv the fast sellers,” is the rule of one of the largest mercantile organiza tions in the country. Such adver. tising. it is argued, - accomplishes two purposes. It gets results and increases the gross volume of busi is. It convinces the public that the store is up to date; first with the latest. We do not argue that a store must advertise in order to stay in busi- is. There are a few merchants who can get along without it. But it is on observation that the live wire merchant who is familiar with mod era merchandising technique finds advertising both natural and logical. He knows that he doesn’t have to. advertise, but he realizes that he can do more business and serve the public better if he uses this modern' agency of keeping business in motion, says an exchange.

The Monroe Journal .suggests that the whole court controversy and the charge that Justice Black once be­ longed to the Ku Klux Klan ought to be settled in the way. that Union county church conference once set­ tled the charge aga'nst a brother for making apple brandy. Way back yonder when the sons and daughters of temperance were very active and thinking that a BaptiBt deacon or a Presbyterian elder ought to be chur- ed for making a little brandy, a good old brother was reported to the church conference on account of his activities in that direction. The conference assembled and the broth; er was asked if he had been selling apple'brandy. AU around him sat his neighbors and brethren in the church. The old brother was quite meek about it. He said, yes, it waB true that he had let some persons have some branny from time to time. He then called the names, of several of those present and stated how much he had let each have. "And,” said he in conclusion address­ ing the preacher who was in the chair, ’-you remember, brother mod erator, I let you have a gallon.” Whereupon a deep silence fell upon the conference and the moderator asked what should be done about the charge. “I move we drap it,” said one of the brethren, and that was the last of the case Never TooOld To Learn.

Who was the first postmistress in the United States? • The answer to that question is contained in a clipping from a news­ paper published in Salisbury many yeais ago by the late Theodore Buerbautn It was brought to light recenilv by Mrs. M. 0. Linton as follows: “The first postmistress in this country was the wife of Cot. And­ rew Balfour, who came to this country from Scotland in the year 1772. He married Miss Elizabeth Dayton, ot Newport, R. 1.. and eventually settled in Randolph County. North Carolina. During the war for American Indepence. Colonel Balfour attached himseif to the Colonial cause and for this offense, was murdered iu bis house before his family, by Tories on the 10th day of March. 1782. When the wife of the murdered Colonial of ficer applied to President George Washington for help, he appointed painted her postmistress of the town of Salisbury in the new state and colony of North Carolina. Mrs Balfour was met at the banks ot the Yadkin by citizens of Salisbury, escorted to town, and was held in high esteem by the people of the place during her re­ sidence in it. A story is told by her descendants that when her ac­ counts were first audited she was only half a cent in arrears. Mrs. Balfour was the great-grandmother of Mrs. Cowan, of Salisbury.” To the facts set forth In the clip­ ping, Mrs. R. G. Kizer, widow of a son of Thomas P. Johnston, be­ loved Confederate veteran, who is the great-great great grandson of Mrs. Balfour, added this informa­ tion; CoUAndrew Balfour was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and came t) Amerca in 1772. In 1774 he married Miss Elizabeth Todd Day­ ton of Newport, Rhode Island. Sometimes later he journo ed to what is now Randolph County and selected the site for the large plan­ tation that was to be bis home in the New World. , In the struggle for American independence his sympathies and interests placed him upon the side of the colonies and ciS I he aided their cause in every pos- coralsible way. Hts devotion cost Hhim his life, however, for he was& PO]brutally murdered by Fanning and his men, on March 10, 1784, Mrs. Balfour, accompanied • by her two children, Andrew and Margaret; went to Salisbury to take up her position as postmistress. They reached the Yadkin River on Christ mas Eve but found the river so swollen that it was impossible for them to continue their journey After spending the night with friends they found that the river could be safely crossed on Christ­ mas morning. A carriage belong­ ing to George Lucas was awaiting them on the shore in which they were driven to the Lucas home, where they spent Christmas day. It is said that Salisbury post- office was in the name of Mrs. Bal­ four’s son. And;ew, but th£t be held it for her, and she was actual­ ly the postmistress.

Adoif Hitler War Dance for Duce Benito mussolini , visiting Adolf Hitler for the purpose of composing and presenting to the world a statement of the intentions and demands of the Italian and Germ anRF { governments, was Si received by the Nazis with great en­ thusiasm. Il Duce, on the way to Ber­ lin, stood on a hill in Mecldenburg with Hitler and witnessed a big war dance staged by the reichsfuehrer that displayed the re­gained m ilitary might of Germany most impressive­ ly. Hitler’s best officers and troops, armed with the latest weapons of death, put on a sham battle partici­ pated in by all land and air forces. In the nearby Baltic the German warships showed how they chase “Red” submarines; and at Wustrow the anti-aircraft batteries gave a demonstration of their effectiveness. The huge munitions plants in the Ruhr district were visited, and the throngs of workers, given a holiday with pay, cheered the two dicta­ tors heartily. Every city and vil­ lage was decorated. In Berlin there were tremendous demonstrations and elaborate festivities in honor of the visitor from Rome. As for the statement by the rulers of Italy and Germany, the best guess was that it would declare that hereafter Fascism and Naziism must be shown proper respect by all powers, that 1‘defamation” of the regimes must stop and that their aims and intentions must be under­ stood by the world and that their right to political parity must be recognized.To the German press Mussolini said; “My visit to Germany is wholly a matter of the heart, a vis­ ible sign of the cordial friendship between two great, cultured peoples that trust each other implicitly. “The two peoples will clasp hands, will put their packs and rifles on their shoulders and will march side by side in the future, for this future belongs to us.” Russia Warns Japan 'T'OKYO officially notified Berlin I that the Chinese were plotting to attack the -Russian embassy in Nanking with planes disguised as Japanese aircraft, for the purpose of involving the Soviet government in the Sino-Japanese conflict. With the equivalent of “Oh, yeah?”, Russia retorted with a stern warning that it would hold Japan responsible for any bombing of the embassy, inten­ tional or accidental. The Soviet of­ ficials said they considered the re­ ported plot a “pure prevarication showing the intention of some Jap- - anese military powers to bombard the Soviet embassy intentionally and then try to escape responsibility.” With callous brutality Japan con­ tinued the air raids on Nanking, Canton and other large Chinese cities, the bombs slaughtering thou­ sands of helpless civilians. The ut­ ter contempt for protests of western nations shown by Japan seemed warranted by the failure to insist on respect for the nine-power treaty guaranteeing the territorial integ­ rity of China. For this failure Gen­ eralissimo Chiang.Kai-shek blames especially the United States. “This war,” said he, “will last as long as Japanese aggression lasts in China.” The League of Nations advisory -committee adopted a resolution con­ demning the Japanese aircraft for bombarding open towns, though the British tried hard to avoid mention­ ing Japan by name. Leland Harrison, the American ob­ server without vote, sat silent jthroughout the acrimonious debate !in the committee. ! A Japanese submarine sank a fleet Of Chinese fishing junks off the coast of southern China, killing 300 men, women and children. YarneII1S Policy Wins ADMIRAL HARRY YARNELL was decidedly opposed to the policy of Washington to withdraw American warships from Chinese waters in the face of danger. His' protests have been considered by the general board of the Navy de­ partment and his program ap-’ proved. Consequently our naval vessels will remain there to protect our nationals “as long as the pres -1 ent controversy between China and Japan exists.” The Navy department announced' that the Asiatic fleet could not be withdrawn under present conditions “without failure in our duty and; without bringing great discredit on the United States navy.” — -it— More Woe in Palestine QREAT BRITAIN’S contested plan to divide Palestine be­ tween the Jews and the Arabs, with a slice for herself, came to the front again when Lewis Andrews, British commissioner of Galilee, was assas­ sinated by a group of terrorists in Nazareth. Tliee men, two in Eu­ ropean garb and one in peasant clothing, ambushed Andrews and shot him and his bodyguard to death. Andrews had gained the enmity of extremists because of the strictness, of his rule as district commissioner] and his life had been threatened fre, quently. O'Mahoney Butts In PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, on the 1 way to Seattle, first entered the “enemy’s” country when he crossed; the border of Wyoming, the state of Senator Joseph O’- Mahoney, leader of the anti - Supreme, court enlargement forces. Mr. Roose- SKffr. W tn velt’s train reached Cheyenne in the ear­ ly morning, and there, among the welcomers, was Jo­ seph, though he had pointedly not been „ invited to board theSector train. He walked O Mahoney alongside the Presi­ dent’s car and Mrs. Roosevelt emerged, shook his hand and asked after Mrs. O’Mahoney. v The senator then entered the pri­ vate car and he and Mr. Roosevelt shook hands and said “Hello,” but the atmosphere was-decidedly chill­ ing; he took leave of the party at Casper, Wyo., after accompanying the President and his group on a drive about that city. ■ The Chief Executive spent two days in Yellowstone National park, and then went on to Boise, Idaho; to the Bonneville dam near Port- land, and thence to Seattle.—-K- No Special Session A CCORDING to high government officials' 'in Washington, the President has dropped his plan to. call a special session of congress in November.

S ANTA MONICA, CALIF.—I took part in a parade cele­ brating old days in California, riding in an ancient open car­ riage with our postmaster here —he calls Jim Farley “Jim”— and our congressman, who like practically all Democrats in good standing in the southern part of the state, craves to be the next nominee for governor.

W ITH the great powers tottering on the brink of hostilities to a more tottery extent than usual; with the Spaniards still willing to fight to the last Italian from Brotiier Musso­ lini’s loan collection; with China battered to a bloody hash-meat in what would closely resemble a war if only Japan had so declared it, which must indeed be gratifying to the ghosts of the thousands al­ready slain and the homeless ref­ ugees from ruined cities—this seems a mighty good time for us to keep our shirt on. Kindly recall that other historic occasion when Uncle Sam felt called upon to hop into a mess cooked up by foreign nations and, as a result, not only lost his shirt, but has never since been able to collect the Iaun-; dry bills for washing the said shirt. This, if you get the drift, is a subtle reference to those defaulted Euro­ pean debts. Let us, therefore, highly resolve that, no matter how great the pres­ sure from within or without—mainly it’ll be, as was the case before from without—we’ll keep the old shirt on. * • • Classifying Bores.

Washington Digest iAt National Topics Interpreted ByW ILLIAM BRUCKART,;^ a g M g ^ NATIONAL PRESS BLDG WASHINGTON D C Washington.—Some weeks ago when the Treasury was parading a lot of names of Fm am g well known indi- the Goat viduals before a joint congression­ al tax committee, I discussed the purposes of the investiga­tion and reached the conclusion that toe whole affair was staged. If I remember correctly, I called it a vaudeville stunt, designed by the Treasury to save its face for having made bad guesses as to tax collec­ tions. The tax collections, as ev­ eryone knows, were much below New Deal estimates and somebody had to be the goat. So, it was nat­ ural to make rich men toe goat by calling them tax evaders. At the same time, I reported to you the fact that there was a differ­ence of opinion among Treasury subordinates. Some pf them wanted to make a great show of names of individuals who had resorted to practices not prohibited by law in order to reduce their taxes. I did not know at that time how serious the disagreement was with­ in the Treasury. It has only lately come out into the open. As a result, two important Treasury officials have quit their jobs and have gone back to private life. I refer to Mor­ rison Shrffroto and Russell I. Ryan, chief counsel and assistant chief counsel, respectively, of the bureau of internal revenue. These two men know more about tax evaders and tax avoiders than anybody else in the Treasiwy but they had one grievous fault. They wanted to be honest about toe whole situation. That was a fault because being hon­ est did not make possible a flam­ boyant display of hatred for taxpay­ ers who had employed legitimate means to pay as little tax as the law permitted. As far as I can ascertain, Messrs. Shafroto and Ryan wanted to co­ operate fully with the higherups in toe .Treasury in so far as a tax in­ vestigation by a joint congressional committee would point toe way for improvement of the law. They knew, as many others know, that toe internal revenue laws have holes in them. The smart lawyers and smart taxpayers naturally have taken advantage of these holes in toe law because they are human despite the fact they are rich. So, the chief counsel and his assistant proposed to Secretary Morgenthau and Treasury General Counsel Her­ man Oliphant that toe investigation be made along lines of a scientific character, that dose study be given to some of toe methods that had been employed to avoid taxes. In other words, Shgfroth' and Ryan were anxious to develop’legislation on toe basis of. toe experiences which they had had and loopholes they had found to be in common use. But their fault was honesty, as government officials would not be denied the vaudeville perform­ ance and toe columns upon columns of publicity which Mr. Morgentoau and Mt. Oliphant, not to mention President Roosevelt, desired to see. * * • I stayed through all of toe hear- Elnnal IThey Hrteen day I trot- wit- Id he ptate- two Iback men names presented to toe coi had contributed to toe Democfatic national campaign fund a year/ago. The tactics were not far from those employed by toe late Huey Lopg in enforcing his will upon toe people of Louisiana; I can add to this a statement ef toe fact that Under-Secretary MagiUc .who had charge of present­ ing thcsocalled evidencebefore the committee at toe capitol, believed the Treastnry was not following an entirely wise course in the methods it employed. But Mr. MagiU went along with toe scheme and there' were many of the correspondents covering that hearing who felt he tried to do toe job fairly.So now Morrison Shafroth _ and RusseU Ryan are back in private life and in their places are men picked by Mr. Oliphant, men who are likely to obey orders regardless of the whims of Mr. OUphant and Secretary Morgentoau. * • * Another instance of official ac­ tion that seems to indicate a bad trend . in govem- Indtcatea ment lately has Bad Trend occurred. This In­cident was propa­ gated by toe federal power commis­ sion, one of toe numerous federal agencies that is supposed to be largely judicial in character but which is equipped at the same time with administrative powers. The facts are these: There was a group of men who served as directors of the Associat­ ed Gas and Electric company. These same individuals were direc­ tors for numerous corporations that are subsidiaries of that same com­ pany. The federal power act provides that the commission may require directors of one power company to divest themselves of connection with any other power companies— one of the strongest features of toe law. The commission is empowered to make its -own investigation of these interlocked directorates and then on its own motion may require such directors to appear and give toe commission satisfactory reasons why they are holding places on the boards of more than one corpora­ tion. This also is a sound provision of law and undoubtedly works to toe benefit of aU consumers of Ught and power. Before I proceed further, let it be definitely understood that I have not a great deal of respectfor toe Associated Gas and Electric com­ pany. Its record does not warrant my respect as an observer. Un­ doubtedly, however, its manage­ ment cpmpUes with the terms of its corporate charter but as a great pubUc utility it has obUgations to toe pubUc beyond the terms of its charter and it is my opinion that toe moral obUgations are such that this age demands fuU observation of them. This brings us to the crux of the -power commission action. Late in September Vice Chairman Seavey of toe commission had ordered the group of directors referred to above to show cause why they should not be compelled to relinquish various positions on other boards of direc­ tors. A hearing date was set. A few days before toe hearing date, the directors in question resigned the positions to which toe commis­ sion objected and then their attor­ ney issued a statement which said, in effect, that they had resigned because they were convicted in toe minds of toe commission before the commissioners had heard the case. He used rather strong language, perhaps too strong in expressing his views. Upon publication of the attorney’s statement, Vice Chairman Seavey promptly ordered him to appear be­ fore toe commission to give his reasons for toe statement and to defend himself against disbarment from practice as a lawyer before toe commission. Now, lest I be midunderstood, I do not know the attorney, Mr. Pax- son; I know nothing about toe mer­ its of the case in question. But it is significant that an agency of toe government suddenly decides that it can prevent a man from earning his Uving because he criticized mem­bers of that agency.• * • Occasionally, situations develop in national poUtics that provide a real laugh. One of Jost a them is now at Big Laugh hand. It results . from toe nasty controversy that swirls around toe head of Hugo Black of Alabama, newly appointed1 associate justice of the Supreme court, who is charged with being a member of toe Ku Klux Klan. Terrible as is toe charge and worse' if it eventuates that Mr. Jus- tice' Black still is subject .to toe oath of the invisible empire, there is hu­ mor in the way a lot of senators and other government officials are running to cover. It has been al­ most a scramble among Democrat­ ic senators to let the pubUc know by issuing statement^ that they would not have voted‘for Senator. Black’s confirmation as a member of the court if they had known he was a klansman. It makes one laugh again when one recalls how carefully the majority of the Demo­ crats in toe. senate refused to hear evidence or hold any sort of a hear­ ing concerning Mr. Black’s qualifi­ cations. : They. did this' by voting down a motion for hearings. It is not pleasant to contemplate how toe senate so many times passes on judicial appointments with toe carefree abandon of a boy on his way home from school.a W w ttn i N aw rai ■ W il.- rT a v o ilta M a c lv ie o j the Ivaek Mixed Mustard Pickles Use two quarts each of beans, cauliflower, tiny cucumbers and silver — skinned onions.

Very few actors enjoy success in Hollywood for more than five years, but producers never-find a newcom­ er who can handle Alan Hale roles.

AS ONE sails over the coral reefs in the Tropics in a £ L glass-bottomed boat and gazes down at the sea gardens, the coral castles of the reef-builders are seen to be adorned and surrounded- by thickets of waving sea growths that to the uninitiated appear to be a plant vegetation of varied hue and graceful form. These are the gorgonians and, far from being plants, are in reality animal structures. Like the cor­ als, they are colonies of polyps, but instead of building lime­ stone habitations they have spe­ cialized in horn, or chitin, as a building material. Descending to the ocean bottom to examine the gorgonians, you see that the femlike plumes, Ilie flat, lacy fronds of the sea fans, and the club-shaped branches of the sea bushes are alive with close-set ranks of tiny expanded polyps, tint­ ed green, yellow, pink, or white. Myriads of starlike forms extend radiating arms around open mouths, hungrily sweeping to their invisible prey. The delicate, transparent columns, which are their bodies, rise from pitlike openings perforat­ ing the branches of their common dwelling places. There is no ob­ vious sign of activity. Yet beneath the outer crust their bodies unite to a network which per­ meates the entire structure, and the microscopic cells of their .tissues are ceaselessly engaged to laying down and cementing the central core of flexible and tough horn which sup­ ports the entire community. B eautiful P a tte rn s and Colors. Surrounding this inner skeleton, the polyps have set in a mosaic of interlocking needles of lime of most delicate workmanship and minute size, the whole forming an invest­ ment of rich color. Yonder rises the reddish-purple, double-edged gorgonian, its two- or three-sided branches bordered with long lines of white polyps standing in single file like soldiers. If you remove-a small colony of this spe­ cies from its anchorage among the coral heads and carry it with you up the ladder to the boat, you can place a portion of one branch in a dish of sea water under a microscope. In a short time the polyps expand and through the magnifying power of your lenses you can see what they are rejally like. At the tip of the branch several polyps! are fully open. Each trans­lucent silvery creature erects itself full length and spreads, a circlet of eight tentacles, edged with tiny toothlil of tent :e projections. This number icles, with their ornamenta­ tion, is characteristic of gorgonian polyps, as distinguished from their cousins, the corals. The central, circular mouth leads down to the hollow interior of the creature. The gorgonians of the West In­ dian waters are closely related to the famous precious coral, which oc­ curs'in the Mediterranean and the Sea of i Japan, but is entirely lack­ ing in !American coral reefs. This speciesj, so important in the jewelry trade, i grows in small branching clusters on the sea bottom. In life the coral structure is covered with a brittle outer crust of soft reddish color, from which the delicate white polyps: protrude. They are quite similar to other gorgonian polyps. Preetous Coral Is Inner Core. If the crust, is removed, together with two-other concentric whitish layers, the hard inner core is un­ covered. This is the part that becomes the precious coral of com­ merce. It varies to color from a brilliant scarlet, to some specimens, to a delicate rosy pink, or even white, in others. It is capable of taking a high polish and, as every­ one knows, may be carved into beads or other ornaments. The relative value of the differ­ ent shades depends upon the fashion of the time. A number of years ago the deep scarlet was in favor, to be supplanted later by the rose- colored coral in popular esteem. While reef-forming corals and gorgonians are confined to tropical waters and to comparatively shal­ low seas, not exceeding 20 to 25 fathoms in depth, other species, which are solitary in habit, or that form small colonies, grow in deep seas, and in a few instances in more northern shallow waters. The beautiful astrangia is found along the New England coast, en­ crusting rocks where the tide flows freely, to patches about the size of one’s hand. Its delicate rosy tints remind one of the terrestrial arbu­ tus. Again, those first cousins of the corals, the sea anemones, adorn tide pools and wharf piles with their colorful beauty along the entire Atlantic and Pacific coasts, while in the tropics their brilliant hues add to the glories of the coral reefs themselves. These lowly creatures, together with other lime-forming organisms associated with them, have filled a most important place to determin­ ing the geographical and geological features of the globe. Their mas­ sive reefs penetrate the surface of the tropic seas and must be re­ corded carefully on hydrographic charts for the safety of navigators. Yast Effects of Tiny Creatures. Their islands dot the southern oceans, many of them the abode of men. Their huge submarine depos­ its, elevated by geologic changes of past ages, have been important fac­ tors in determining the outline and surface features of continents and have entered into the structure of mountain ranges. They have fur­ nished building stones for houses and marble for statuary. Their disintegrated substance has fertilized fields and grown crops, fi­ nally washing down to the seas, to be worked over again by the obiquitous polyps for future ages. Many diverse species of coral composing a reef form structures, ever growing higher and higher, crowding and becoming entangled with each other in thickets of gro­ tesque and weird beauty. The soft colors of their outer surface run through varied hues' of rose, pink, orange, tan, yellow, green, blue and purple—all the colors of the spec­ trum. These colors are partly due to pigments in the living tissues, which invest the surface of the coral limestone skeleton, and partly to another interesting phenomenon. Microscopic marine plants, or al­ gae, live in toe inner tissues of toe translucent polyp wall. Each indi­ vidual is a disk-shaped single cell, amber yellow in color. They mul­ tiply by millions, often completely fiUing the cells of toe endodermal layer. Since they are plants they use toe polyp to which they live, and to toe presence of sunlight transform it in­ to food for themselves, giving forth oxygen in the process. The latter gas, so essential for animal exist­ ence, is utilized in turn by the polyp to its vital processes. Hence there is maintained a partnership between the plant and toe animal of equal importance to both. Gets Strong Colors From Algae. If toe coral colony happens to be located in strong sunlight, toe algae multiply with great rapidity, giving the polyp’s tissues a deep golden hue. This fact accounts for toe rich tans and saffrons of toe great elk- horn corals that form the extensive treelike growths to toe Andros is­ land reef. If toe coral is growing to a sub­ marine nook where the sunlight is weak, the algae are relatively few, and the coral tissues are seen in' their original pigmented color. For example, toe brain coral is natural­ ly green, due to toe color of its pigment, and that is the way it ap­ pears to deeper waters and shaded localities; but in moderately illu­ minated areas toe microscopic plant partners are mors numerous along toe summits of toe sinuous ridges of the coral, producing a yellow color to-contrast with- the green in the winding valleys between them. Fi­ nally, brain corals located to.the brilliant sunshine of toe shallows on the top of toe reef are so com­ pletely impregnated with algae as to appear a deep chocolate brown.

They, together with the local citizens who co-operated with them, deserve a great deal of praise for the best fair Davie has ever had, from tl e ex hibit standpoint. ______ LETS KEEP HISTORY STRAIGHT We read an ait'cle in a local pa- per a few days ago, telling how many papers should be published in the county, and which paper the people should support and take. It is not up to The Record to say how many newspapers should be published in Davie County, or who should take them, or which paper they should support. Just to keep history straight we are printing the following facts: The first newspaper ever publish­ ed in Davie County was The Davie Times, which was organized^ in 1878, with Blount & Mooring, publishers and E W. Mooring editor. This paper was printed for many years, but suspended, and the outfit was sold about 35 years ago and moved to another towa. The Davie Record was es­ tablished in the spring of 1899, by E. H. Morris, who was editor and owner until 1907, when the present editor and owner moved here and took it over. A new paper. The Mocksville Courier was established after The Times suspended, and was edited and owned by Col. W K. Clement This paper finally went out of business, and the Mocksville Herald was established. It changed .hands several times, and finally, in the fall of > 1916. a man by the name of M. L. Misen- heimer came here and started the Mocksville Enterprise This paper, a copy of which we have on our desk, bearing date of April 5 ,1 9 1 7 Volumn 1, No. 28 which shows that The Enterprise is now .21 years old. Since the present editor and owner of The Davie Record came here in 1907, the Courier, The Herald and The Enterprise, all combined, have changed hands 14 times, if we haven’t lost count. The Record is the oldest newpaper in Davie County, with Thfr Coo- leemee Journal coming next, it be­ ing established 31 years ago. The Record has changed hands but once In its long life of 38 years. It is true that Davie county, is well-blessed with newspapers There are four papers printed in the county now, with a new one starting up in the near future. The Record is the only, Republi­ can paper in the county We ap. predate the support the people of Davie, and surrounding counties .and sfr tes, both business and pro. fessional, farmers, laborers, rich . and poor, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, have give3 us. We shall strive to continue to merit that support It is none of our business who runs a newspaper in Davie county, nor how many papers shall be' printed in the county. Misery loves com­ pany, so we will welcome any other fellow who comes along and wants to start a newspaper in Davie, V Gorrell Smith, of R. 1, sold 566 pounds of tobacco Thursday on the Winston - Salem- market -that brought him $221.75 . His best grade brought him 45 cents, and the lowest grade 38 cents. This is the best tobacco we have heard of in Davie this season. J. N Click, of the Kappa section, carried a load of tobacco to Wins­ ton-Salem Thursday. The price received averaged around $25 per 100 pounds. Fair Officials Gire Luncheon. The officials of the Winston Sa­ lem Fair gave a deligh’fnl luncheon to about 22 editors, their wives, daughters, and sons, on the roof garden of the Robert E Lee Hotel last Tuesday afternoon at one o’clock The luncheon was en joyed very much bv those present.- Members of the staff of the Wins ton Salem Journal and Sentinel, and the manager of the midwav shows were also present Free' tickets to the fair, the grandstand and also to all the shows, were given those present. W. N. Reynolds gave a dinner to the visitiog edi tors and race men, at the Robert E. Iee Tuesday evening. Sorry we could not be present for this occa sion.

Miss Louse, representing The Davie Record, and Miss Annie Holthous er. representing The Mocksville Enterprise. Editors from several counties were present. Among Davie farmers who sold tobacco on the Winston-Salem market Thursday was W. A. and Bob Cleary, of Sheffield. W. A Cleary’s best grade brought $40 per 100 pounds, while Bob Cleary's best gtade brought $38 per 100 pounds. His load averaged a- bout $22 per 100 pounds A large number of Davie county people attended the Campmeeting and home-coming day at Harmony Sunday. N. Sanky Gaither was Master of ceremonies.

C. W I T H B A N N E R S CHAPTER VII—Continned —13— He crept to a window and peered in. Dark as pitch except for a white blur. That must be the cover of Aunt Mary-Amanda’s old limou­ sine. Why was the unused car di­ rectly opposite the door? He re­ membered now. Jed had told him that he had o. k.’d an offer Henri Jacques had reported for the out-of- date machine. Probably the butler had planned to drive it off in the morning. The man who had just made his get-away had stopped here. Why? Had he hidden loot? The silver.? But the silver had been in the storeroom only a few hours ago. A few hours! Much could happen in a few hours while the occupants of the Other House had been at supper at the Reybums’. He’d better investi­ gate. Lucky he still carried the key to his aunt’s garage on his ring. In the days when they had been friendly, she had insisted upon his having a key to the house as well. Soundlessly he slid back the door, squeezed in, closed and locked it. With the light in his torch dimmed, he tiptoed carefully be­ tween the automobiles. Brooke’s long, sleek town car. Sam’s con­ vertible coupe. The white cloth cover of the old limousine was awry as if it had been hastily adjusted. Part of it lay on the floor. What was that mark? A footprint! A foot­ print faint but bloody! With a childish impulse to clutch their coats and keep the men with her, Brooke Reyburn had listened to the closing of the door behind Mark Trent and Jed Stewart. They had pleaded an early morning start for the city, but she was sure that they had gone because they resent­ ed Jerry Field’s sulky silence. She would have been glad to get away from his gloomy presence herself. She glanced at him as he stood be­ fore the fire. From the back of the house came the crash of dishes, a shout of laughter.Brooke sprang to her feet. "I wonder what went then. I suspect that Lucette and Sam started rough-housing and that Daphne was drawn into the scuffle. I should have known better than to let them wash the dishes. Come on, Jerry. Let’s investigate. I’d rather know the worst at once.” Field straightened and thrust his hands hard into his pockets. “Same here, Brooke. I want to know what you were doing in Mark Trent’s house while we were at re­ hearsal.” “Why should you think I had been in his house?” “Didn’t Stewart find a gardenia outside his front door?” “So what? I suppose there couldn’t be another woman in the world who might call on Mr. Trent wearing a flower, or did you comer the gardenia market today, Jerry?” Field’s expression changed from gloom to cheer. “There’s something in that. Trent certainly is a wow with the ladies. I hear that he could dine out three times an evening if he’d accept the invitations heaped on him. It gets me why he settled down in this burg. Don’t be sore at me, sweet thing.' Wasn’t it natural for me to think the flower yours when Stewart produced the gardenia that he found at Trent’s front door when you weren’t wearing any?” Before she could answer she heard someone approaching. She drew a breath of relief, as Sam and the two girls entered. “What smashed in the kitchen, Sam? I thought the chimney had fallen in.” “Nothing but a stack of those war­ ranted unbreakable plates Clotilde keeps things on in the ice-box. And did they crack up? The floor looked as if there’d been a snowstorm.” “The sound brought Henri down the back stairs in a hurry. Ever seen him in his robe de niiit, Brooke?” “What a giggler you are, Lucette! Of course I haven’t.”“You’ve missed the laugh of your life. He was something straight out of a Cruikshank edition of Dickens. Night cap with tassel; night shirt, I believe it was called back in the dark ages; thin bow legs, and flap­ ping slippers ” “Was he embarrassed?” "He was not. He behaved more as if he were afraid we’d miss the appeal 'of his costume. He ran around like this.” She trotted across the floor. Lucette frowned at Field. “Can’t you smile for the lady, Jerry? I’ll tell you one thing. I’d rather be a giggler than a gob of gloom. Good­ night!” She dashed from the room. - Daphne ran into the'hall.“Lucette, don’t forget that Mark Trent is giving us r. party tomorrow night at that swell new Supper elub.” Lucette hung over the mahogany rail. “Forget! Not a chance. Think I’ll forget a night off from rehears­ ing? Nothing short of an act of God will keep me away. Sam, the old tyrant, is giving us a break. Fll be seeing you.” > Jerry Field picked up his sister’s coat.“Come on, Daph, let’s go. If Fd known, that we were to have a night off, I would have taken you dining and dancing, Brooke.” “Nicetof you, but I think that a party will be heaps more fun.” “You would think that. I don’t know why but this whole evening By EmiHe Loring I) Emilie Lorinf. WNU Service* has gone haywire. Come on, Daph.” Daphne Field snuggled her hand In Sam Reyburn’s. “Good-night, Sammy. Don’t love me much, do you, darling?”' Sam shook off her hand. “I’ll love you when you learn your lines, and what’s more, if you don’t learn ’em, you’ll be tossed off the lot.” “You mean that I’ll be fired?” Daphne opened her eyes at their widest. “I, fired, after I’ve had gowns made to wear that will sim­ ply stop the show? Come on, Jerry. Nobody likes us here.” From the threshold she threw a kiss to Sam. He grinned. “Sam, do you like Daphne?” asked Brooke. “She’s good fun. Swell looker, isn’t she?” In the room she had made her boudoir, Brooke slipped out of the lace frock. If only she could shed with it the haunting sense of having said the wrong thing. She had been bitterly unkind when she had re­ minded Mark Trent of his divorce. If she could apologize to him and get it off her mind, it would help. Well, she couldn’t. Perhaps if she wore the hair shirt of remorse for a while, it would teach her to guard her tongue. In a heavily embroidered Chinese house-coat of vivid green, she pulled forward the chair at her desk and began writing a letter to.her moth­ er. Suddenly she looked up .at the mirror, and her heart mounted to her throat and stuck there, beating, beating. Reflected in the looking- Her Heart Mounted to Her Throat and Stuck There. glass, the silver-shot hanging be1 tween bedroom and boudoir filled and swung like the sail of a boat. What had set it in motion? Had a window been opened? She was too far from the bell to ring. Suppose she rang? Who would answer? Henri and Clotilde were locked in their room probably. What should she do? She stared at the mirror. How could a person get in? From the balcony under the bath-room window? That meant that he had come through Mark Trent’s house. Was it the black-gloved man who had been in the attic ibis evening? She swallowed her heart. She couldn’t sit here forever. She must move. How still the room was! The silence of fear enveloped her like a cold mist and turned her fingertips to ice. Perhaps she was in a night­ mare and could waken herself. Glorious thought. She’d scream. Her mouth remained open as a hatless man in blue denim slipped past the swaying hanging. His head was wet and sleek as a seal’s; his face below his eyes—bad eyes—was so thickly plastered with white as to be unrecognizable. He gave one furtive glance over his. shoulder be­ fore he flitted in ghostly silence, from the room. Brooke pulled out the drawer of her desk. It crashed to the flour spilling the contents. Maddening! It woidd do that when she was in a hurry. On her knees she scrambled after an electric torch which had rolled under a chair. She dashed to the hall. Who was the man? What was the stuff on his face? She’d never forget those wicked eyes above a smear of white. The house Was dark and still. She ran toward Sam’s room. Stopped. Bet­ter not start him on a man hunt. He was so impetuous. How did she know that the intruder hadn’t a gun? She must go Scotland Yard herself. The hall dock told the hour. The sound echoed through the. house. Only twelve? It seemed hours since she had said good-night to Sam in the. living-room, and years since .Mark Trent and Jed Stewart had gone home. She tiptoed to the bal- ustrade and listened. . ' A squeak! She put her hand hard over her heart to stop' its thump­ ing. Was a window being opened cautiously? U only the wind would stop for a minute. _ Had the squeak come from the next room which was being used for scenery? It had a small iron bal­ cony like the one which connected Lookout House and Mark Trent’s. A person might easily slide down the trellis. She tiptoed into the room and closed the door softly behind her. This must be the window that had squeaked; it was wide open. It had been closed this afternoon when she had come in to scatter green paint on the flats and to give another splash of red to the peak of roof on the backdrop. She flashed her light around the room then on the floor over which a sheet had been spread. A can of red paint had been overturned! It was sluggishly spreading. Tipped over recently! Slowly Brooke’s light traveled. A red foot­ print! Uncannily like a bloody one. The man must have stepped into the thick paint. Another! One be­ yond that under the window. Cau­ tiously. she followed the trail. A smooch of red on the window sill. He’ had gone that way. Was he on the balcony? What would she see if she looked out? She must look out. She wouldn’t close her eyes tonight unless she knew that the man had gone—where, she wouldn’t care, if he were gone. - She leaned out cautiously. There was nothing human in sight, only a one - eyed moon was watching through a maze of branches. Cold winter moonlight turned a towering hemlock to purple, shadows to ame­ thyst, and scattered a shimmering trail of golden topaz on the dark water of the harbor. Had one of the shadows moved down by the tree? It had. That meant that the man was out of the house! She cautiously closed and locked the window. Pulled the hangings across it. That was that! She curtained the other window, turned to switch on the wall light. Stopped. The door was opening! A glare of light. Had the man come back.? Had he a pal? Had her heart parked in her throat forever? She couldn’t See, but she could still hear: “Well, for the love of Mike!” The wall light snapped on. Brooke’s blood, which she had thought frozen, surged through her veins. Sam was staring at her, Sam in pink and white pajamas which made him look for all the world like an animated stick:of striped candy. His copper colored hair was on end; without his spectacles his eyes were big and dark and vague. He shook her arm. “Hey! Snap out of it, Brooke! Have you got that darn scenery so on your mind that you’re walking in your sleep to sling paint in here?” Brooke swallowed the lump in her throat. “I wasn’t asleep, Sam, and I wasn’t slinging paint. I heard some­ thing.” Her voice sounded hoarse to herself. “A window being opened? That’s what I heard. But how could you get here so soon?” Breathlessly she told him of the man who had slipped through her room, of following him into the hall. “You’re kidding! No? Then why didn’t you yell for me?” “You’re so reckless, Sam, I was afraid you might be hurt.” “That’s the funniest thing I ever heard. How about yourself? Beat it back to bed. Sam the boy sleuth is hot on the trail.” “You mustn’t go downstairs.” “Who says I mustn’t. I’ll snoop around outside to be sure the guy has gone. Beat it.” “If you go down, I go too.” “Oh all right, all right. I know better than to argue with you when you use that tone, Brooke.' Got a flash? We’ll creep down the back stairs. Follow me. We’ll get into the front of the house that way.” He switched out the wall light, opened the door and stood motion­ less, listening. “Let’s go!”Brooke nodded in response to his whisper. The hall seemed miles long as she tiptoed through the dark; the back stairs endless in number as she stole down, stopping at every creak, holding her breath at every sound which echoed as if amplified in the' walls. Sam stopped at the kitchen door to listen. Crept on to the front hall. Brooke controlled an hysterical urge to laugh as she stole after him.“The Reyburas go sleuthing,” she thought, and chuckled. She felt Sam’s quick turn and glare, though she couldn’t see it. The turn was catastrophic. He lurched into a chair. His muttered, “Thunder!” was submerged in s hoarse command: “Don’t move! I’ve got,jyou cov­ ered!” j CHAPTER V in : The dusk about Mark in the ga­ rage went black. A bloody foot­ print! Had the crime horror .spread to this small, point of land? Brooke! Had anything happened to her? The possibility stopped his heart. He had been so intent upon finding Jedl upon identifying the prowler that he had not thought of danger to the occupants of Lookout House. Sam was there. Nothing could happer to his sister with that boy near Why was he letting his imaginatioi loose? Would a man who stoppe< for a shave and a bath in the mids of house-entering be guilty of bloody crime?

Chapter 3.GOLDEN TEXT-Let no corrupt com-, munication proceed out of your mouth.— Ephesians 4:29.PRIMARY TOPIC—The Words I Say.JUNIOR TOPIC—A Bridle on the Tongue.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Christian Speech.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Christian Words and Works. Christian speech and conduct may well be studied in the book of James, for he stresses the impor­ tance of works as demonstrating faith. There are two common er­ rors—one is to attempt to be justi­ fied by good works apart from faith in the Lord Jesus Christ—the other is to talk about believing in him and then fail to live in accordance with one’s profession. Some have assumed that James fell into the former error, urging works as a substitute for faith, but an.intelli­ gent reading of his epistle clearly indicates that he is in no sense con­ tradicting the Scripture doctrine of justification by faith, but is show­ ing that professed faith which does: not result in Christian living is in reality a dead and useless thing. I. Christian Talk (w . 1-12). As he enters upon his searching and convicting discussion of the tongue and its misuse the writer dis­ tinguishes between 1. Two kinds of talkers (w . I, 2). a. “Teachers” (v I.) who have a peculiar responsibility because they stand as the representatives of God at the sacred desk. It is not a place to be sought after, and the man who fills it at God’s call needs divine grace and direction that he may speak the truth. b. “We all” (v. 2). The speech of every one of us counts either for or against God, even though we may not fill the teacher’s chair or stand in the pulpit. 2. A single danger (w . 3-12). All of us have the one danger—lack of “tongue-control.” Developing that thought the text first points out that a. Powerful things need control (w . 3-5). The horse is a wild and useless animal without the directing and restraining bit. A ship without a rudder- will be lost. A tongue needs direction and control, for while a little thing, it is tremen­ dously powerful. b. An uncontrolled tongue is dan­ gerous (w . 6-8). How vivid is the imagery of the words before us. A fire spreading and destroying, an untamed animal running wild in all its fury, a deadly poison eating away the life—such is the uncon­ trolled tongue. We recognize the truth of these things. We see how vile and care­ less speech debases man, how words chosen for their power to destroy pour forth from the press, over the footlights, from man to man and lit­ erally “set on fire the course of nature” (v. 6). c. An uncontrolled tongue is in­ consistent (w . 9-12). Again the fig­ ure is striking. The fountain which pours forth fresh pure water to sus­ tain life does not at the same time bring forth the bitter brackish wa­ ter. Fig trees do not bear olives, vines do not bear figs. Nature is consistent and dependable. ~ But" the" tongue—ah, that is an­ other matter! How sadly do we confess our failure, for here do we “offend all” (v. 2). We bless God, and defile and destroy mian, with the same lips. “These thiqgs ought not so to be” (v. 10). n. Christian Walk (w . i3-18). The word “conversation’! in v. 13 is an English word which now means “talk” but which {formerly meant “manner of living.”: 1. Words and works must agree (w . 13,14). It is only right that those who speak of foRowiiig Christ should prove it in their manner of living. Talk may be smooth and broad in its claims, but the demon­ stration of its reality and honesty is in the daily walk. This calls for wisdom which is divine—earthly wis­ dom wiR not suffice. 2. Earthly wisdom is false (w . 15,16). There is a wisdom apart from God. Men of the world are brilliant and able, but scrutinize their wisdom and you will LBnd that it is “sensual”—that is,' of the senses—or natural as distihguished from spiritual. AR too often it is downright “devflish” (v. 16). 3. True wisdom is from above (w. 17,18). Undefiled, unselfish, uncom­ promising, but not quarrelsome or stubborn, impartial and sincere— and “fuR of mercy and good fruits” —such is God’s wisdom'for the Christian’s life.

Mr. Murchison lives about 10 miles from Mocksville, but this is his first trip to town in about 18 years. He wasatonetime editor of The Intelligencer, which was published in Statesville in 1874. Miss Maida Eaton, of Cana, was in town Saturday shopping.

Terrell, for years su­ perintendent of the Ervin Cotton Mills at Cooleemeei but tor the last seven months manager of the Locke • Mills, at Concord, died last Friday morning at his home in Cboleemee, death resulting from. Injuries he re­ ceived in an automobile accident a few days previous. Mr. Terrell was 50 years old, and is - survived by his wife, two sons and a daugh ter. The body was carried to Ashe­ ville Saturday morning and laid to rest. Among the out-of-town guests who attended the Johnson-Allison Budget Not Balanced. There is scarcely anything that Mr. Roosevelt does belter than bal­ ancing the budget. There is a reason, of course, as. for all things He has been balanc ing it since 1933. and practice makes perfect. So when he assured the recent Wyoming throngs that the ■ budget was about balanced, neither the President himself nor his audience thought there was anything unusn al in the pledge. But Washington and the gentlemen ot Congress are more skeptical. It is not the opin ion here that the budget will be, or can be, balanced next year. Yet,' paradoxically, the budget must be balanced! Mr. Roosevele’s plat­ form of 1932 declared for a'balanc ced budget. The President pledged it in his inaugural address,'March 4, 1933 In bis budget message to Con gress, January 3, 1934 he promis ed a balanced budget for the fiscal year 1936. On September 26, 1933, the Pre­ sident thought the budget could be balanced without tax increase. But 1933. ’34, *3 5 . ’36 and ’37 slipped away, and still the budget remained, and remains, unbalanced. In bis budget message of Janu ary 8, 1936 the President promised a balanced budget, in the future, and then added: '!Although we must continue to spend substantial sums to provide work for those whom industry has not yet absorbed, the 1938 budget is in balance, and except for debt teduciion of $401,515 ,000, it will remain in baiance even if later on there are included additional ex penditures of-as much as $1,537 ,- 123,000 for recovery and relief.” But instead of balancing the bud­ get Congress in 1937 appropriated more money—exclusive of the vet­ erans bonus than it had appropria­ ted for 1936. The budget was more out of balance than ever. There is only, one place where the budget can be balanced. It is the House ot Representatives. No realistic person believes it will be balanced in a campaign year. It would wreck the party in power. Yet the theme of Mr. Roosevelt’s Western discourses shows that the national debt of nearly 40 billions is staring the President in the face.

If single men 60 years old or less, of saand mind and body, cannot support themselves in days like these it is worth an effort to find out why The depression emergen cy is over. Except for strikes fac tories are operating at near record production The crv for more help bn farms has been heard for months. If anv able bodied man, not more than 30 years old, cannot manage to feed, clothe and shelter himself under such conditions then the tax­ payers, out of whose pockets come the relief funds, nre entitled to tnow why. America was bu It by men and women who managed for themselves. . If it is to continue to be the kind of country in which we all can take pride, the job must be done by those who dig for themselves and make a go of it despite the difficulties The average citizen around Moores- ville feels the time is ripe for a showdown in the relief set up in this country. He doesu’t want to see any worthy person suffer. But he has grown tired of helping to support those who, in thousands of cases, should now be able to sup­ port themselves. “Rid the relief rolls of able bodied men.” is about to become a national slogan. Many people in Mocksville and Davie county feel the same way a- bout this matter that the Moores- ville folks do. TheFederal relief har helped some deserving people, but it has made thousands of loaf­ ers also. It is good to purge the jury boxes occasionally, and we be­ lieve it would be a good idea to oc casionally purge the relief rolls. Many men will neither work nor try to get a job so long as they are fed by those wno will work. Pay day is bound to come. Let Him Have It. Charlotte News; Governor Hoey, our Raleigh bureau tells us, has had a "crooked lawyer” investiga­ tion dumped on his back door step. This is not much news in Mecklen­ burg County, where we've declared open season and gone gunning for ‘em; nevertheless, it is interesting as bearing on the accusation that not as straight as they ought to be. A negro woman appeared at the back door of the Governor's - Man sion to plead for a parole for het husband. She said she had done all she could to get him out of the penitentiary—had hired a Wake County lawyer and had paid him every week for weeks and weeks. And still her husband was in pri­ son. Gov. Hoey investigated an d found that the man was under a 20-year sentence and not eligible to be paroled for several yeats yet. The lawyer had taken the woman’s money, knowing full well that it was impossible for him to aid her in the slightest. Nevertheless, he led her to hope where there was no hope and demanded-a fee for his disservices, The Governor will tail his State and his own profesSion, if he does not make an example of this lawyer. If the above is true this lawyer has broken the law and should be punished as any other citizen. There are many lawyers in N. C., and we guess some some of, them are crooked. The same can be said of any other class of citizens in this country. We wish to remind the public also that there is no other class. of .citizens .that, devotes as nrach free service to tbe public as the law profession. . The public look to them for commencement addresses Sunday school talks, re unions, etc , in other words they are public property to such an. ex tent sometime it is a .real burden, and for which they receive only "thanks.”—The Hustler.

It is needed, especially where there are children and sin' tiers in and around it I don’t believe there is as large a per cent, of it done now as when I was a boy,-especially in the homes of good church members. I don’t believe there is as much good oid time religion tanght now as was then. There may be more forms and ceremonies taught now than then. This is a sportive and dan gerous age, and the sooner parents find it out the better. - I think par ects in their respective neighbor hoods, ought to get together and solve the problem, adopt the same rules and enforce them. Then no child would have any cause to com plain. I see down at Raleigh they li­ censed 119 new lawvers. Amqng them were tour white women and two Negro men. It will not be long now till we will have a killing frost, so we better look for a safe place to put our greenness in. I think some of us can go in the kitchen wish the cooks if we will take something along to burn and to cook. I will soon have a birthday, I have had only 89, and they were all good ones. I am sorry I could not get to the Davie Fair and see the good folks and all the fine ex­ hibits. It wouldhave beena love feast to me. J. F. C. Hickory, N C . May As Well Be Twid­ dling Thumbs.

Bi ggers, selected by the President to take the census of the unemployed, is on the job—one that will cost the government $5 . 000,000 and for all practical pur poses won’t be worth five cents Indeed, .the whole thing is more or less of a farce with Mr. Biggers planning to go through with bis assignment largely by use of tbe mails. It’s to be a “voluntary registra­ tion,” you know, and you know, also, that voluntary registrations of the unemployed through the mails and by any other slip-shod, hit or miss method, will dismally tail of what should have been a ser tously-purposed undertaking.

Dr. J. R Lowery, of Salisbury, head of the Lowery Hospital in that city, and known to his hundreds of friends in Davie, as "Dr. Bob,” is a good apple and peach grower as well'as a good doctor. Bob is a na­ tive of Davie county, and was born on a farm at County Line, a son of the late D A. Lowery. His moth is is still living. Several years ago Dr. Lowery purchased a big farm near Pine hurst, in the sand hill country, got busy and set out a big peach and apple orchard. Today he has 30.- 000 peach trees, and thousands, of apple trees. He sold his first peach crop in 1924, which brought him $60,000. a profit of $24,000. His first peach tre s were set out in 1919. His farm contains about 1, 000 acres. He closed bis 1937 apple season about two weeks ago, after having sold 35,000 bushels in a little more than a month for a grand total of $35 ,000.' Dr. Lowery sold 16,000 bushels of peaches the past sum­ mer, which brought him a total of £24,000 not counting all the blue ribbon3 he won on his fine fruit. -His bine and red ribbons are said to make a package tbe size of a bundle of fodder. The Record is glad that this old Davie boy is making good not only in the medical world but in fruit growing. If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, Dr. Bob will have to limit his apple crop in the future, or he will put all the doctors in this section out of business. Send ns a bushel or two next year. Dr. Bob, if they turn out well. Revolt Brewing In Dust Bowl. Dale Krammer.a front page writer in The Farm Holiday News, publish­ ed at Minneapolis, Miunesota, prints this gloomy story: "This winter will see revolt in the dust bowl. Farmers have stood it as long as they can. No crops, dust, inadequate relief, the government’s policy of starving them out—it hss been too much. The Wall Street railroad specula­ tors and the government urged the Iatmers to settle the country, paint ed glowing stories of its promises. The pioneers homesteaded it, moved the rocks, broke the prairies. Now they are subsisting on mireable dole-. Their land has been mortgaged a; d mostly taken away. Their stock is mortgaged to the hilt It hasn’t rained for ten years, not nough for a decent crop. Some hat e moved out, but there are stiil ap­ proximately 1,000,000 farmers in the dust bowl. Where are they to go? There is no money on which to move. There is no money on which to move. The newspapers are full of pro - perity headlines. Bumper crops ev­ erywhere, the big dailies say. But scratching for a few thistles in tl e dust bowl, farmers cannot even find these. In western North Dakota a five-year-old. half rotted straw stack is worth $100. In the Red River Valley new Btrawberries are burning everywhere. Why doesn’t the government put WPA workers to bailing this straw and shipping it into the famished areas? Is it because the bay dealers would be injured, or because they want the stock shipped out so that farmers must ’hit the highway?” WheU I came into the dust bowl a month ago, farmers were expecting their August grant checks;—which runs around $25 a month for a family of four or five. Every day for tbe last months -farmers have gone to their mail boxes, looking for that grant check. - It has not come. What kind of a policy is that? h the federal government deliberately trying to break the morale of a million American citizens? Or is it plain ignorance? President Roose velt and the rest of bis people should stop damning the economic royalists long enough to find out what is go­ ing on in America. Smilipg Faces Are Few fom Henderson. Yanceyville. N C. What this country needs most is more confidence. I stood on the sidewalks of Danville on Saturday afternoon and watched the swarms of people come and go. Tberewere' few smiling, happy faces. They were for the most part sapped, sagged and drawn. Seemingly I sensed a feeling of furtive fear gnawing at the hearts of many. Neiiher their stomachs nor their pockets appeared to be empty. Those were r.ot "Hoo­ ver carts” that jammed every space of parking in the business area, but shiny late models of almost every make in the automobile world. That crowd must have been resen- tative of all the professions, voca­ tions and industries. Farmers and mill-workers, brushed shoulders with capitalize and other business men. Good clothes predominated and even high school girls were decked out in the height of expensive fashion. The only mendicant I saw was a blind musician. I debated within myself what wholesale tragedy of living had dragged its shadow across those hope-robbed faces. It certainly could not have been fear of the pre­ sent in the case of the carpenter or the brickmason whose daily services are being eagerly sought for a re­ muneration of a dollar an hour; the farmer with granary and barns piled with bounteous harvests and bouyed by promises of good prices was not pinched by immediate proverty. I arrived at no other conclusion that that fear of tomorrow has seized upon ns all. From atop the- sentry wall there has corne no reassuring cry of "all is well.” After five years of prodigious giving and spending in "priming the pump” for "planned economy” were seemingly no nea er the dawn of a perfect and contented day. The stock market’s barometer is indicative of a feeling of insecurity. Radical forces of organized labor are making a political fight on conser­ vative capitalism. A President, whose election was financed in part by money contributed by and bor­ rowed from the C. I. 0. through the inst rumentality of John L Lewis, is seemingly in close sympathy wi;h a new order of socialism. The fear that is blighting us is not so much a lack of faith in the fund; - mentals of our American plan "of government but rather the dread that these fundamentals may be pull- out from under the foundation. Tbe American flag of liberty cannot survive.where the spirit of commu­ nism prevails. Any man who would change our constitution in other than the orderly manner as prescribed by the constitution itself is an enemy to the American spirit of democracy. A ‘packed jury” is the demnable de­ vice of a shyster —Tom Henderson, Yanceyville. North Carolina. You Know It’s So. The notion is constantly spread that President Roosevelt is a man of marvelous ability and a politician of unparralled skill. It may be so. We pose bis question: were the sub­ sidies to cotton, the WPA and PWA allotments, the “relief.” withdrawn and the new offices abolished, how many supporters would remain to him in South Carolina? Had he bal­ anced the bunget the last two years several congressmen in South Caro­ lina would have deserted' him. He may be a man of great ability, but there is no measure to apply to him, for the reason that no other Presi­ dent in time of peace has spent any y sum comparable with thirty-five - thousand million^ of dollars that his administration has .-peat in less than five years. He has increased the public debt to the tallest peak in his­ tory, the period of the World War. is not excepted. He may be a man of surpassing mentality, but any man, however dumb, who, with a Congress trading: with him, cou’d- bave gotten his clutches on one- fourth tbe money that the Roose­ velt administration have had to scat­ ter would be esteemed the “greatest President of all times.” You kno-r that’s so. — Charleston N ■ .vs and f Courier. •••>-vW SsifK..

A True Sentiment That is a true sentiment which makes us feel that we do not love our country less, but more, be­ cause we have laid up in our minds the knowledge of other lands and other institutions, and other races, and have enkindled afresh within us the instinct of a common humanity, and of the uni­ versal beneficence of the Creator. —Dean Stanley.

Best UabaOrt CHAPTER VIII—Continued —14— He dropped to his knees and touched it. Sticky! He flashed his light on it. Sniffed. Turpentine? He sank down on his heels and choked back a shout of laughter. He had been fooled by red paint. How had it come here? What was that dark heap beyond it? Over­ alls! Blue denim overalls still warm from the wearer’s body. The driver of the car he had heard a few mo­ments ago must have shed them before he left the garage. Why had he worn them?Mark projected and rejected ex­ planations with lightning speed. The man who had shinnied from the balcony had come from the room where the scenery was being paint­ ed. Wasn’t the roof of the cottage on the backdrop red? Why the shower? Why the shave? Was it he who had removed the key from the door of the storeroom tonight? But that man had disappeared" via the con­ necting door, presumably into Look­ out House. He flashed a dim light over the white cover. More red! A clumsy X. “Make X on cover when—” The words on the scrap of paper in the storeroom were explained. 'X marks the spot where the body was found.” The sentence flashed into Mark’s mind as if set in electric lights. Body! Jed was missing! Perhaps his body had been dumped inside the limousine! He set his heel on the thought. He would imagine a horror like that. That infernal cross probably meant nothing, but he’d take a look-see so that he wouldn’t ask himself later, Why didn’t I?” Soundlessly he reached the other side of the limousine. The dis­ arranged cover which left the door exposed revealed also a license plate. AU set to go! He flashed his light inside. Something long, some­ thing rounded on the rear seat was covered with an automobile robe. Dread paralyzed Mark’s hand for what seemed to him hours; then with a muttered imprecation he thrust it under the robe. The sUver! Nothing but the silver! That X on the white cover was a sign that it had been moved from his house. Who had moved it? That was easy. It had been removed while he and Jed had been at the Reyburns by the man who had driven away. Sure of plenty of time he had stopped for a shower and shave. Moving the loot to the ga­ rage had been his share of the job;' Would a pal appear to drive the 6tuff off? “He will, and here he is!” Mark muttered, as the frosty gravel out­ side the garage crunched faintly. A key in the lock! Not a minute to waste. Where should he go? In­ side Brooke’s town car! The breaks were with him. It wasn’t locked. The garage door was sliding back. Mark saw a patch of sky. He banged his forehead as he plunged headfirst into the sedan, and saw'a million stars. Efis head spun as he crouched in the space left by the turned back seat and drew the door shut without latching it. He held it in place as barely breathing he listened. Footsteps on the cement flo'or! Cautious footsteps. A Ught on the ceiling! Suppose it should flash into the town car? It had stopped. Who­ ever it was, was taking his time. An engine turning over! Was some darn fool starting a car with the garage door dosed? Mark- raised his head turtle-fashion. No, the door was open. He might have known it. Was it likely that the bandit would allow himself to be bumped off by carbon monoxide? Not that bad boy. He had too much at stake. He must follow. How? He couldn’t trail in another car. He would be heard. Could he hang on to the empty trunk-rack? That was an idea. He would foUow the limousine but of the garage, slip into the shadow of a shrub when the man went back to close the door, then grab the trunk-rack when the car started again. A stunt, but he’d make a stab at it. It he were to hold the man now he would learn nothing of his destination.He cautiously tiptoed after the limousine. He was safe behind the shrubs when the driver returned and noiselessly closed the garage door. A soft hat was 'drawn low over his eyes, but Mark knew him. Henri. He was behind the-wheel again! The limousine was coasting down the incline! Mark crouched as he ran after it. As the engine started, he drew himself carefully to the trunk-rack. He barely breathed. Had the driver felt a jar? Ehridently not. He was increasing speed. He was not headed for the causeway. He was going in the opposite direc­ tion. What did that meant After spinning past old land­ marks, the car slowed down and stopped. Mark saw the white cot­ tage. The filling-station. He must not be seen here. Surely the driver would make contact with someone inside before he left the limousine. Henri stepped out of the car. He stopped as if to make sure he was not observed. Mark slipped off the trunk-rack. He was cramped and stiff. He hob­bled rather than walked into a deep purple shadow cast by a pine. He coiUd see the cottage. He held his breath as Henri gently turned the knob of the front door and entered. What would he do next? Come back to the limousine? What a chance to grab him. What was he doing inside the house? He was taking his time. The door was opening again! Mark hardly breathed. A man slipped out. His hat was pulled down over his eyes. He slunk along in the shadows. Reached the shore road. Ran on the dried grass which bor­ dered it as if pursued by furies. Had that beeli Henri? Had he de­ livered his message? Had he been warned to beat it? Couldn’t have been a fight inside. No loud voices. Had the limousine with the silver been left for someone else to drive away? Someone else! What a break! What a break! He would drive it back and park it in his garage—no, that wouldn’t do, he would leave it with Mike Cassidy. Mike was as dependable as the sun. He stole from the shadow of the pine. With every faint scrunch of his feet on the frosty ground his blood stopped running. Could he reach the limousine before someone came? Only a few feet more. He was behind the wheel. With a hand stiff from cold he touched the self­ starter. Hang it! Wouldn’t you know the motor would back-fire! A light! In the front dormer! He had wak­ ened someone! He hadn’t a moment to lose. With his ears strained to detect pursuit, with his eyes roaming from side to side, Mark shot the car ahead. He went in an opposite di­ rection from that taken by Henri— if the man who had burned up the road making his getaway from the white cottage had been Henri—he wouldn’t run the chance of overtak­ ing him. It seemed years before he reached Mike Cassidy’s garage at the entrance to the causeway, hours before he could rouse the man, be­ fore he partially opened the door. “Let me in quick, Mike,” he whis­ pered to the blinking, cursing pro­ prietor, who was gripping some­ thing that gleamed dark and blue and ugly in a hairy, ham-bone fist. “It’s only you, Mr. Mark! Thought it might be a hold-up.” Cassidy’s lower jaw swung like a gate on loose hinges. He slipped die automatic into his pocket be­ fore he rolled back the garage door. “Where can I hide this?” Cassidy pointed. Not until the limousine was stowed behind a motley collection of broken-down cars did Mark Trent explain. “I’ve just rescued the family sil­ ver, Mike. The yam I have to tell you will beat any of the thrillers you get over the radio. Not afraid to keep the car here, are you?” Cassidy’s red-rimmed eyes grew moist. He wiped bis nose on a shabby coat sleeve. “I ain’t afraid to do nothing for you, Mr. Mark. You an’ your family give me my start; sometimes you’ve kept me goin’ when I didn’t know where the next meal was corn­ in’ from. I felt mean when I let my Maggie go to work for Mrs. Hunt who treated you so bad, but we needed the money somethin’ terri­ ble, so she took the job, though it was at that new fillin’ station that’s tryin’ to put me out of business.” A telephone rang. The two men stared at one another. Mark’s blood turned to 4ce. Cassidy whispered;“Holy -mackerel! Who’s nailin’ this time of night? Have they traced you and the silver this quick? Per­ haps there’s a gang after you!” Mark nodded toward .the tele­ phone. “Answer!” His muscles tensed as he listened. “Cassidy’s garage—You, Maggie! What t’h’U—Stop blubberin’—What! Who?—I can’t hear, you’re cryin’ so — something terrible? — Never mind, never mind. I’ll call police headquarters—You’ve got to stay there, girl, till I get Bill Harrison. If anyone comes, don’t talk. Don’t talk!—Sure, I’ll come, just as soon as I get the police.” . “Mike! What’s happened?” • Cassidy’s face .was ashen as he shook Mark’s hand from his arm. “Wait!” He dialled. He spoke into the transmitter. “Someone’s hurt bad at the white cottage—that new filling station on CHAPTER IX “Don’t move! I’ve got you cov­ered!” In obedience to the hoarse warn­ing, Sam and Brooke Reybum stood as if turned to stone in the dark hall of Lookout House. Lights flared. Brooke stared in­credulously. Was that Jed Stewart with his Imnd on the switch glaring at them with wide dilated eyes, with his mouth open as if he had just swallowed a salt wave? That was a flashlight he was pointing at them, not a pistol. It was Jed Stewart without his coat, with his black bow tie under one ear, with only one shoe on. “For the love of Mike, Jed Stew­ art, perhaps you’ll tell me why you’re holding us up in our own house? Why this Public Enemy No. I touch?” Sam demanded. Stewart blinked. “What are you two doing wander­ing round this house half dressed at this time of night?” “Stop shouting, Jed. You’ll have Lucette down here,” Sam said. “Come into the living room and tell us what you’re doing in this house, Jed .” “Let’s go to the kitchen instead, more likely to stabilize our emo­ tions,” Brooke suggested. “I’ll make cocoa and we’ll scramble eggs. Jed must need food after the late ex-excitement — he’s fairly twitching with it—and I feel hollow to my toes. Come on, Sam.” “Sounds okay.to me. I’m a grow­ ing boy, I need lots of nutriment You’d better eat, Brooke; you didn’t touch a thing when we came back from rehearsal. I’ll run up .“Perhaps You’ll Tell Us How You Got In and Why, Jed?” and get a couple of bathrobes. Take these, Jed.” He kicked off his slip­ pers. “I’ll put on shoes upstairs.” Sam followed her into the kitchen. “Sam can. be speedy when he wants to be,” she admitted, as her brother entered with a lurid bath­ robe over his pajamas and another all red and green stripes which he flung at Stewart. “There you are, m’lad.”“Bring the milk, eggs, butter and bacon from the icebox, Sam. Toss me that apron, Jed, Ihe big white one—that’s right. Toast some bread, Sammy.” Soon Sam sniffed. "Doesn’t the bacon smell dandy! Here you are, folks.” He arranged thin, crisp strips around a mound of fluffy scrambled eggs. “You and Jed sit down, Brooke, and I’ll bring the cocoa after I find the marshmal­ lows to drop into the cups.” Brooke slipped off the apron and waited until Sam had served steam­ ing hot cocoa with a little melting white island floating in each cup and helped himself lavishly to scram­ bled eggs and bacon, before, with elbows on the porcelain table, chin on her clasped hands, she suggest­ ed:“Now that the shock of discover­ ing us roaming round in our 'own house has somewhat worn off, per­ haps you’ll tell us how you got in and why, Jed?” Stewart leaned back in his chair with the air of a man whose appe­tite has been abundantly satisfied.(TO BE CONTINUED) Snakes. Have Quick Tongues Garter snakes are among thu commonest of our native reptiles. The quick, darting forked red tongue gathers many insects for food, which together with frogs, toads, salamanders and worms, forms its principal diet. It is per­ fectly harmless and of great eco­nomic value. It hibernates below the frost line in soft mud or sand and emerges in early spring after being awakened by warming suns.

On its sixteenth birthday, players who got their start or revived their careers there sent telegrams and en­ couraged the manager to keep vaudeville alive. Among the many famous names who graduated from this theater are the radio pets Ed­ gar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, Martha Raye, James Cagney, Walter Huston who played a ,dramatic sketch fifteen years ago, and Joe E. Brown, who was one of a team of acro­bats who called themselves artists.

No drug store cowboy is Tex Ritter—he really comes from Texas, and every so often he bolts from his stage, screen, and radio successes to go back to ranching. The first time he was lured away from ranching, it was for a role in “Green Grow the Lilacs,” the Theater guild play which also launched a young actor by the name of Franchot Tone. The next time he came East to appear at the Madison Square rodeo, the radio moguls grabbed him. —-K- Gordon Miller, who threatens to become a matinee idol, reached pic­ tures by the hitch-hike route. He is slated for the very important role opposite Deanna Durbin in her next picture, “Mad About Music.” He hitch-hiked from his home in Flint, Michigan, to New Orleans, where he went to the Plantation night club and offered to sing for his supper. He sang himself into a steady job. Universal picture’s talent scouts heard him and signed him up. —-K- The same men who picked Tyrone Power and Don Ameche out of ob­ scurity and guided them to film fame think that they have a new matinee idol in the person of Dick Baldwin, whom you will see in the Ritz Brothers’ new picture, 'fLife Be­ gins at College.” Baldwin was Just about to leave Hollywood, discour­ aged over his failure to get parts, when he was called to tiie Twen­ tieth Century-Fox studios for a test.

While different sizes can be burned in most furnaces, don’t underestimate the impor­ tance of Using the size—or combi­ nation of sizes—best suited to your heater to produce the most heat for the least money. . The size of the firepot in your furnace will, under ordinary cir­ cumstances, indicate the most ef­ ficient size to use. With a firepot— or interior—24 inches in diameter and 16 inches deep, egg size is usually recommended; 18 to 23 inches diameter and 12' to 18 inches deep, stove or chestnut size; less than 16-inch diameter, chestnut size. Local climate, position of fur­ nace, size of chimney and house sometimes make it advisable to vary these sizes. -To be sure of what size- coal you use, I would suggest you have your dealer call and advise you which size, or sizes, will give you the greatest heat value at the most economical ITS GREAT TO BE BACK ATWORK when you’ve found a way to ease the pains of RHEUMATISM and do it the inexpensive way, too. You can pay as high as you want for remedies claimed to relieve the pain of Rheumatism, Neuritis, Sciatica, etc. But the medicine so many doctors generally approve— the one usea by thousands of families daily— is Bayer Aspirin — 15/ a dozen tablets— about If apiece. Simply take 2 Bayer Aspirin tablets with a-half glass of water. Repeat, if necessary, according to directions. Usually this will ease such pain in a remarkably short time.For quick relief from such pain which exhausts you and keeps you awake at mght— ask for genuine Bayer Aspirin. 15*FOR 12 TABLETS virtu ally I c e n t a ta b le t Cause of Regret I regret often that I have spo­ ken, never that I have been si­ lent.—Syrus.

President Woodrow Wilson said be was too proud to fight. _______________ If it wasn’t tor the fighting you’d have no reason to believe that there is a war on between China and Japan. W ith cotton falling in price every day, will the New Deal brethren admit tbat it Ls a result of New Deal prosperity. The editor of The Recordmavbe old-fashioned, but he never iias thought it tight to turn public school houses into dance halls. An education is a mighty Rood thing to have, but too much of it is sometimes like too much wine, it makes a fool out of the fellow who has it. _____________ Tbe state is full of automobiles and the automobiles are full of gas. the drivers are sometimes full of bug juice and that is the cause of many of the fatal accidents. We are hoping that all our sub scribers who have let their 'sub­ scriptions get behind, will call or send us their renewal this fall. Our creditors are needing money. In speaking of the midway at the, Davie Fair, a local paper said: ‘•The midway attractions at the fair grounds, offer many thrills aod amusements for both old and young and all shows and concessions seem to be clean in every respect.” Our mayor and at least some of our preachers will no doubt agree that all things are not what they seem to be. Selahl The Record doesn’t propose to go over the ccunty telling certain folks tbat the editor is a democrat, to get them to subscribe for this rag of freedom. Our paper is Re­ publican, as every one who reads it can testify. We are anxious to get as many democrats as possible to subscribe |for our f paper, but we don’t propose to misrepresent facts to get their names on our books. Last year the Davie farmers bad a very small eotton crop, about half the usual crop. Cotton was bring­ ing around six cents.per pound in the seed. This year the crop will be about twice as large, but if prices continue to drop, the farmers will not be any better off financially than they were last year. Prices are ranging between $8.oo. and $ 9 per hundred tor lint cotton this fall. There must be some mistake a bout these low corn, cotton and wheat prices. Surely Herbert Hoover hasn’t slipped into Wash ington and took possession of the ,White House w h ile President Roosevelt has been rambling a- round over the country trying to find out if prosperity has bit the cotton farmer, and what democrats think of Hugo Black, the small fellow be appoiated to the U.

Black Joined Klan; Quit *• T DID join the Ku Klux Klan. I I later resigned. I never re­ joined.”Thus Hugo L. Black, now Asso­ ciate Justice Black of the Supreme court, admitted to an immense radio audience that the charges against him were true. Black asserted that since he quit the Klan he has had nothing what­ ever to do with it. He cited his record in the senate and in private life to back up his assertion that he was entirely free from religious or race prejudices. While he apparently repudiated the principles of the Klan, he did hot explain why, on receiving a life pass card after his election to the senate, he said to a gathering of Klansmen: “I realize that I was elected by men who believe in the principles that I have sought to advocate and which are the principles of this or­ ganization.” Black emphatically declared his deyotion to the principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and said that he was of "that group of liberal senators who have consist­ ently fought for the civil, economic and religious rights of all Ameri­ cans, without regard to race or creed.” Some of his best friends, he added, were Catholics and Jews, and members of the colored race. At the outset of his address Black undertook to turn the tables on his accusers by asserting that the “campaign” to discredit him “fans the flames of prejudice and is cal­ culated to create racial and re­ ligious prejudice.” “When this statement is ended,” he concluded, “my discussion of the question is closed.” There was a definite note of de­ fiance in Black’s address, but it is fair to assume that the American public was not satisfied with his ex­ planation. From all parts of the country came renewed protests against his presence on the Supreme court bench, and various large asso­ ciations "resoluted” about it. Many of the senators who voted to con­ firm his appointment because they accepted the assertion of his friends that he was not a Kluxer are re­ sentful at the deception practiced on them—but what can they do about it now? President Roosevelt, up to the time of writing, had maintained si­ lence. One of his aides explained that the President decided some time ago that there was no course of action open to him in the Black case. When Jtutice Black took his seat, the chamber of the Supreme court was crowded to capacity. Albert Levitt, an attorney, was on hand to ask permission to file a suit seeking to force Justice Black to show cause why he should not be declared in­ eligible to sit. The court deferred action on the request. Another mo­ tion to the same effect was filed by Patrick H. Kelly, a Boston lawyer. — ■*— Special Session / S n HIS way from the West Pres- ident Roosevelt made a speech at Grand Forks, N. D., in which he declared his intention of continuing his fight to “reform” the Supreme court. He also announced attempts to pass crop control and labor legis­ lation would be made at a special session of congress which probably will be called about November 15. — * — ■ Rail Strike Averted 'T'H ER E will not be a nationwide A strike, of railway workers. Such a disaster was averted when the five operating railroad brotherhoods accepted an offer of the companies of a fiat raise of 44 cents a day. They and the fifteen “non-operat­ ing” unions had demanded a 20 per cent wage increase. The latter al­ ready had agreed to a raise of 40 cents a day. For five weeks Dr. William M. Leiserson, member of the national mediation board, had been holding' daily conferences with representa­ tives of both sidegi In announcing the terms of the agreement, Leiserson praised the co-operation of both parties, saying the manner in which they receded from their original positions was the biggest factor in the settlement. H. A. Enochs of Philadelphia, chairman of the carriers’ confer­ ence committee, estimated the in­ crease would mean an average raise of 6.6 per cent for the 75,000 work­ ers. —-K- A. F. of L. May Expel C.I.O. TXTHEN President VHlliam Green opened the annual convention of the American Federation of La­ bor in Denver, he was not able to present an optimis­ tic picture of the fu­ ture of unified labor. The battle with John L. Lewis and his C. I. O. continues un­ abated, and there a r e “dogfights” among the unions all over the country, generally concern­ ing jurisdiction dis­ putes or shifting of _affiliation. WilliamGreen If the report of the federation’s ex­ ecutive council is adopted, the C. I. O. unions will be finally ousted. The council said in part: “For two years we have pursued a policy of toleration . . . AU of this has fafled . . . Now the executive councti feels that the time has ar­ rived when the American Federa­ tion of Labor must meet the issue in a clear-cut and positive way The issue.which created the division in the ranks of labor must be made clear. ‘In order to accomplish this pur­ pose the executive council recom­ mends that the convention confer upon the executive council author­ ity and power to revoke the charters of the international unions holding membership in the Committee for Industrial Organization.” President in Chicago /"1HICHGO put on its best dress to receive President Roosevelt, who spent two and a half hours there. The main purpose of the vis­ it was the dedication of the new outer drive across the mouth of the Chicago river, a project that was partly paid for with federal money. Mr. Roosevelt first reviewed a long and colorful parade and led the way across the structure. Then- from the south end of the bridge he deliv­ ered an address that was broadcast by radio. The President was entertained at luncheon by Cardinal Mundelein, a friend of long standing, and soon after proceeded on his way to his home in Hyde Park, N. Y. — •¥—. Windsor Coming to U. S. U lS honeymoon, being ended, the A A duke of Windsor intends to take up the really serious things of Ufe, and before long he will come to the United States for the purpose of studying housing and working con­ ditions in this country. This was announced in Paris by the duke’s secretary, who said Edward and his duchess would first go to Ger­ many for a similar survey there. The duke’s interest in such mat­ ters is no new development, for as Prince of Wales and during his brief reign as king-emperor Edward was notably concerned with the social welfare of his subjects. On many occasions he assailed housing con­ ditions of British workers. La London it was said the gov­ ernment had given reluctant per­ mission for the duke’s American trip in order to avoid an open rup­ ture with him. - He resented the dose restrictions placed on his movements and, it was rumored, had threatened to return to Eng­ land. American friends of the Windsors think they may make their tempo­ rary home at “Wakefield manor,” near Front Rdyal, Va., possibly ar­ riving there in November. The manor is the estate of Mrs. George Barnett, cousin of the duchess. IrvlnS-Cobb r a n M tJhJmkd about Minding Your Business. SAN TA M O N IC A , C A L IF.—A society is form ing in E ng­ land for Uie defense of the form er E dw ard V III, now the duke of W indsor and honorary citizen of all places in this coun­ try nam ed for the Sim pson fam - Uy. This society does not hope to re­ store the duke to the throne. That would not only an­ noy the archbishop of Canterbury, he al­ ready having things to annoy him, such as Americans, but would seriously up­ set Mr. Stanley Baldwin, who upsets so easily that it seems strange the British never have thought of calling him Reversible Stan. Besides, the throne would be quite crowded if the duke tried to snuggle in there along with the present occupants. What some of us over here think— and that goes for many Canadians, too—is that England has a crying need for a society dedicated to the broad general principle of minding its own business and suffering the duke and his wife to mind theirs. We have a rough idea that both of them can better endure long-dis­ tance snubs than officious meddling in their private affairs. Just being an ex-king is a hard enough job— even if you can get it to do. * * * Political Afterthoughts. VAASTER ROLLO, aged seven, AVI and city raised, was visiting relatives in the country. On his first morning he came in wearing a worried cast of countenance. “Mother,” he said, “I’ve been out under the mulberry trees.” “Yes.” “Mother, do mulberries have hard backs and six legs and crawl around on the ground?” “Why, certainly not.” “Then, Mother,” said Rollo in stricken tones, “I feel I have made a dreadful mistake.” What’s the point? Oh nothing, only I got to imagining what the brood­ ing regrets of some members of the administration and a majority of the members of the senate must be when they recall the alacrity with which they moved to fill a certain recent vacancy in a certain very high court—in fact, the lfighest one we’ve got.• * • Hirsute Virility. DARISIAN boulevardiers believe a A dense arboreal effect of whiskers is proof that the wearer is indeed a man, without, in all cases, being absolutely convincing about it. We haven’t gone that far yet, but I would like to know whence comes this notion of appraising masculine vigor by the amount of hair along the breast-bone? Morbid, I calls it. Two distinguished authors battle whep one intimates the other is scantily adorned in that regard, for­ getting that, in the immature sum­ m er peltage of his kind, an author has but a scanty growth as com­ pared with the richer winter coat. And then prying reporters ask the new glamor prince of the movies whether he has any fleece at all upon his chest, their tone indicating they rather expected to find trailing arbutus there, or at least some shy anemone. Years ago in the hospital, when I was being shorn for an operation I remember remarking to myself that here was the only barber who’d ever worked on me without trying to sell me a bottle of hair tonic. * • * Miss America—1937. A. T LAST some rational excuse— -f A in moral values, anyhow—has been found for a so-called national beauty contest. The seventeen-year-old New Jer­ sey girl chosen as “Miss America of 1937” is not going into vaudeville, is not going to make any personal appearances, is not coming to Holly­ wood for a screen test, is not going to accept a radio contract, is not even going to write her life story for publication. She will return to school and to the normal home life of a well-raised normal girW that is, unless she changes her mind abeut it all. . If she shouldn’t change her mind, she stands put as probably the san­ est young person of her age at pres­ ent residing on-this continent, or, should we say, this planet. If she should change her m ind- well, the American populace has been fooled many a time and oft be­ fore. Our grandfathers didn’t be­ lieve human beings ever could fly. Our fathers didn’t believe anybody would ever lick John L. Sullivan. Only the other day our United States/ senators didn’t believe their fellow- statesman, Mr. Black of, Alabama, could be a Klansman.

National Topics Interpreted W atlonat P ress B uilding by William Bruckart Washington, D Washington.—It may be, as I have frequently been told, that the aver- _ . . age person—Mr. F ederal John Q. Public— R eterve Ilas very little in­ terest in the do­ ings of the federal reserve system. It may be true that the average citizen accepts the federal reserve banks as a thing apart and of little or no concern to him because they are so far removed and, further, because they indulge in what the demagogues used to call “high fi­ nance.” Whether my information is cor­ rect and regardless of the public concept of the federal reserve sys­ tem, I am devoting some space tins week to a discussion of certain de­ velopments in the federal reserve banking structure in an attempt to show the trend of money conditions in this country at the moment. Lately, the federal reserve board of governors announced a revision of its regulations governing dis­ counts and advances by federal re­ serve banks. Now, it may be said that these regulations affect only the banks that are members of the re­ serve system. That is true but it is not the whole truth because ev­ erything that the federal reserve board of governors and the federal reserve banks do affects you and me and everyone else whether we are little fellows and, therefore, un­ important individually, or whether we are trustees of great sums of money such as is the case with cor­ poration presidents. The board of governors, in the revision of its regulations, has made it possible—if not obligatory— for the reserve banks to take al­ most any kind of paper that is an evidence of debt. That is, the re­ serve banks are now empowered to receive from the member banks that paper upon which you and I borrow, any paper that shows that a citizen owes the bank money, and to give that bank money in ex­ change for the evidence of that debt. Everyone, of course, is familiar with a note or a mortgage on a piece of real estate. Most people understand about installment paper which is simply a note providing for payment of the amount due over a period of months. But there are many other kinds of evidence of debt that is in frequent use among business men from the smallest storekeeper in a rural village to the greatest banker in the world. Un­ der the regulations now operative in the federal reserve system there seems to be almost no paper which the local banker cannot send to the federal reserve bank and receive cash in exchange. Of course, that obligation must be paid off some time and the arrangement simply permits the federal reserve banks to carry the debt until its maturity. All of this obviously sounds as though the federal reserve system is at last to be helpful to us little fellows. That is true. It is going to be helpful in increasing the num­ ber of us little fellows who get our­ selves in debt. It is going to do that because it makes getting into debt easier. I think no one should object to the reserve board regulations in all details. There must be credit given where credit is needed; that is to say when you prohibit borrowing money you choke off eighty-five per' cent of all of the business done in the United States. Yet, credit is dangerous, a double-edged sword and must be handled with extreme caution by the borrowers as well as by the lenders. As we have seen from the inglorious debacle of 1929, there can be too much credit ex­ tended, and when I say that, I refer not only to loans by banks but the sale of goods, wares and merchan­ dise that enter into everyday life. And, going a bit further on that line, there can be too much cred­ it extended by the manufacturer and jobber to retail merchandising establishments just as easily as there can be too much credit ex­ tended by the retail merchants to you or to me. One can get into debt over his head just as easily by purchasing at retail or wholesale as by buying more land than we can afford to own or a home larger than we need. So, a discussion of what the board of governors of the federal reserve system has done can lead in this instance only to a conclusion that danger flags are waving.• • * I do not want to exaggerate pres­ ent conditions or signs as I see them. n _> . 11158 is no time toD otrt G et become excited. E xcited There are, how­ ever, boundaries beyond which we cannot go in the m atter of credit without facing an­ other tailspin of the type of 1929. That is the thing I fear may result from an accumulation of federal policies of which the late action by the federal reserve board is only one. ■ It is perfectly human and natural for each one of us to aspire to better things, to have more of this world’s goods for our enjoyment and to equip ourselves by way of greater resources for the fiiture. We will do those things sometimes when we ought not to do them simply be­ cause the instruments are available and we do not stop to count the ul­ timate cost. Tb the extent, then, that the federal reserve board probably has made borrowing easier-it has tempted a certain percentage of cit­ izens, or will tempt them in the future. The condition of easier debt that is now presented is, as I have said, on­ ly one of many temptations and in­ ducements for getting into debt that has been offered by the Roosevelt policies. It is unnecessary to re­ count here how many pieces of legislation, how many executive and administrative rules have been made to permit citizens to use mon­ ey that is not their own. They are almost numberless. The result has been, is, and will continue to be the creation of a lot of debt that will hang over us all for years to come. The federal government itself has taken the lead in getting into debt. The latest Treasury statement shows that the United States government owes more than thirty-seven billion dollars. That amounts to $281.63 for every man, woman and child in the United States. C om parethatw ith the national debt as of 1932 when it stood at $19,500,000,000 or a debt of $155.93 for every living person in the United States. * • • I do not know when, if ever, this gigantic national debt will be paid off. I think prob- P ay O ff ably the American Som etim e people with tradi­ tional tenacity will stick by the job and get it done some time, but I must refer to the job as a very slow process. It required twelve years after the World war debt reached its peak of twenty-six billion to reduce it by ten millions. That reduction was more rapid than had ever been known before in any nation and it was made possible be­ cause of the prosperity which we en­ joyed during those twelve years. It would seem, therefore, that we must consider not only a slowing down of individual debt making, but a sharp curtailment of national debt making as well. If we do not, a yawning cavern of unsounded depths awaits us. Some weeks ago Mr. Roosevelt sent instructions to the various agencies of the government to save ten per cent out of the operations for the current fiscal year to help in balancing the budget. Iiiere were no -ifs, nor ands, nor buts about President Roosevelt’s instructions. The spending agencies were told simply to lay aside that ten per cent which, in the aggregate, would amount to around four hundred mil­ lion dollars. The President said during a speech at the great Colum­ bia river dam the other day that he hoped to balance the budget In the next fiscal year. Most other people hope that the President’s hope is realized because Mr. Roosevelt has stated several times that the budget will be balanced “next year” and some of us are beginning to wonder whether his budget balancing state­ ments are not like the statements which President Hoover made at the beginning of the depression. He said, you will remember, a num­ ber of times that “prosperity is just around the corner,” a comer that still seems to be next year. ,• • • v But Mr. Roosevelt must be com­ mended and criticized at the same „ , time for his budg- B aaget et balancing ideas. Balancing Mind you, no criti­ cism can possibly be attached to the objective—a bal­ anced budget. But commendation must give way to criticism on some of the things that are happening under the flat order for a reduction in spending. Take this case for example: The National Psirk service, like other agencies, laid away ten per cent of its operations. Tlfis impounding of money happened to coincide with the greatest flock of visitors ever to enter the gates of the country’s na­ tional play grounds. It costs money to police and protect the parks; it requires funds to provide for the comfort of the throngs of visitors to national parks. The result, in the case of several parks, was that they were forced to close their gates to visitors from a week to a month earlier than they usually db in Ihe falL Their money had run out. - Well, say you, what harm does that do? Simply this: Visitors to national parks, such as Yellowstone, for example, pay much m ore for entrance fees and the things they must buy while in the parks than it costs the government to maintain the parks. But that is the crux in this situa­ tion. The National Park service does not keep me money that is paid in by park visitors. Those funds are turned directly into the treasury as general revenue. The books of the National Park service, there­ fore, show only outgo. The condition is one, therefore, it seems to me, that almost warrants a statement that the policy is “pen­ ny wise and pound foolish.” £) Western newspaper Union. JlskMe Jlnolher # AGenezaIQaiz 1.

CvIVE or six million Jews, uprooted by dictatorships and tossed about 1 by economic storms, may have to depend upon the development of the Holy Land, under British mandate, as a solution to their difficulties. But they face the hostility of the Arabs living there, whose economic and religious interests conflict with theirs. In North Palestine the Jews fence themselves in F armed settlements as a pro- j tection against marauding Arab bands, while they try to work the poor land. With Britain anxious to get rid of her mandate, and with en­ emies in nearly every cor­ ner of the world, these "peo­ ple without a country” are in a sorry plight. The life is not an easy one, by any means. Back­ breaking labor is not made any more bearable by con­ stant threat of pillage and death. Pictured here is life in a fenced-in settlement m the Jesreel valley. t I » £ * Settlers must carry rifles while working the swamp-infested plain. Men and women take turns in guard duty behind the barbed-wire fence whiclj protects the settlers from the raiding Arabs. A woman sentry is pictured here. Note her studious appearance, determined look arid mannish military dress.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYICHOOL L e s s o n By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union. S Lesson for October 24 CHRISTIAN RENEWAL LESSON TEXT—Titus 3:1-11.GOLDEN TEXT—For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.—Titus 2:11. PRIMARY TOPIC-The Good Shepherd.JUNIOR TOPIC—In His Likeness. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— A New Life in Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADDLT TOPIC— Renewed Life Through Christ PThe searchlight in this tower is the settlers’ only means of communication. The pastoral epistles, of which Titus is one, were written by Paul to his young brethren in the faith who had been called to the ministry of the gospel to instruct them concern­ ing three important matters—(I) Church order and organization, (2) sound doctrine and (3) holy living. The third chapter- of Titus, our lesson for today, deals with the life of believers in Christ in their rela­ tion to unbelievers. The great un­ derlying reason why Christians !should conduct themselves in meek­ ness and humility toward others is .that except for God’s grace we who ibear the name of Christ would be, and indeed were before our regen­ eration, just like the unbeliever. We shall best study our lesson, therefore, by considering first of all v. 3 which indicates the lost condi­ tion of man by nature, then follow him through the miracle of redeem­ ing grace, w . 4 to 7, and finally see him as a living testimony in w . I, 2. and 8 to 11. I. Lost—by Natnre (v. 3). It is not a pleasant picture that is painted in the graphic words of this .verse, but, remember, it is God’s picture of the unbeliever. He is said to be “foolish”—that is, irrational and senseless in his course of liv­ ing. He is “disobedient” to the law of God. He is “deceived,” lit­ erally “out of the way,” misled by Satan. He thinks his pleasures and' lusts are serving him, but alas, he is only a slave in bondage to and serving them. Such a life can only result in a man’s becoming hateful to his fellowmen. They in turn are hateful to him, and so he hatea them. Thus the whole world be­ comes a hateful place where men are “living in malice and envy.” How we thank God that we need not stop at this point. Man is by nature lost in sin—but he may be n . Saved—by Grace (w . 4-7). How sweet are these three words in the sinner’s ears! Saved by grace, not works, and made heirs of eternal life. 1. “Not by works” (v. 5). Some­ one has said that man is determined by one means or another to claim salvation by his good works. To do so may flatter the flesh, but it surely finds no support whatever in Scripture. We are to work for Christ because we are saved, and after we ,are saved, but no man can be -saved by works. 2. “By his grace” (v. 7). God shows his unspeakable kindness and love toward man—saving him by grace, through Jesus Christ. Grace has well been defined as “unmerit­ ed favor.” We deserve but the just condemnation of our sin, and God in his mercy saves us, through faith in his Son. 3. “Made heirs” (v. 7). Saved now? Yes, thank God! Satisfied? Yes, praise his name! But there is more yet to come. We who de­ served only God’s judgment are now made heirs of an eternal hope. T is indeed no small thing to be a child of God. ^ Now—we are ready to approach in the right spirit the admonition to live out our salvation as a daily testimony to others. III. Witnessing, by Holy Idling (w . I, 2, 8-11). The young preacher Titus is told to “put them in mind” to be 1. Subject to rulers (v. I). True patriotism (and we did not spell it “pay-triotism”) stands very close to godly living. National leaders would do well to recognize that the decay of our national life will follow the decadence of spiritual life. A man who is right with God will be right with his fellowmen, and a no­ ble and useful citizen. 2. Meek and kind to all men (v. 2). Meekness is not weakness. Gentle­ ness is the attribute of strong men and women! 3. Maintaining good, avoiding evil (w . 8-11). It is the tendency of man to divorce morals from reli­ gion, to profess a faith which does not touch his daily life. Let us af­ firm ‘'constantly” and “confident­ ly” (as the R. V. has it) that those who believe in God should “be care­ ful to maintain good works”—yes, and at the same time to “avoid” that which is "foolish,” contentious, “unprofitable and vain.” Knowledge and Ignorance The best part of our knowledge is that which teaches us where knowl­ edge leaves off and ignorance be­ gins.—O. W. Holmes. Jnstice Justice is the idea of God, the ideal of man, the rule of conduct writ in the nature of mankind.— Theodore Parker.

The Harvesting. A ride into the rural districts will reveal m ore than a few fields of cotton th at have not been picked at all. If there are any em pty bolls they are m ade so bv the family hound chasing rabbits down the rows. Certainly there m ust be good and sufficient reasons for this. Lack of the necessary labor, unforseen ill­ ness in the fam ily, or other circum ­ stances over w hich th e farm ers has no control. It Is plain th at the farm er is n o tr lazy—not m any of them , and while the price is noth ing to rejoice over, it is high en­ ough to w arrant more than a pass ing interest in. the crop now th at it is made and ready for harvest. Y et is it a tact than on m any farm s cot­ ton is left in the fields to th e de­ trim ent of its own quality. Stain iu cotton affects its grade, and of course determ ines the price. Sometim es, the classification in grades is reduced several points by stain, w hich not infrequently re­ duces the farm er’s income bv as m nch as ten to twelve dollars a bale. Rem aining in the field contributes to this hazard. I t would seem then, that at plant­ ing tim e the cotton farm er should be thinking also of the harvest and charting his course accordingly, picking cotton is serious, back- breakjng businss at the best, and if in A pril there seem s h ttle likeli­ hood th at pickers will be available at harvest tim e, a few acres cut from the farm program , would save a lot of w ork in betw een.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSYILLE, N. C. WITH BANNERS CHAPTER IX—Continued —15— “Well, it was like this. I had said good-night to Mark and gone into any room. I had pulled off my coat, had yanked off one shoe when I began to sr.iff." He reddened. “Perhaps it’s effeminate but I like a lot of 4711 in my tub, and I asked myself, ‘Who’s been using my bath crystals?’ I heard sounds in the bathroom. It sort of took my breath for a minute and my brain whirled Eke a pin-wheel. Then I grabbed up m y flash from the table beside the bed and tiptoed to the door. I banged it opm. Water was gurgling out of the tub, dripping from the shower, my shaving things were scattered everywhere, and—a shoe was going out of the window.” Stew­ art pulled out a handkerchief and mopped his red, moist face. “A shoe!” Brooke and Sam ex­ claimed in unison. ‘‘I presume there was a. foot in it. For an instant amazement para­ lyzed me. I made a strategic er­ ror. Instead of beating it after that shoe, I poked around. The razor was gone. Thht fact gave me a nervous chill. ‘Why would a man take that? Who could ,it have been? Kowa?’ I asked myself. ‘But he has his own bath; why should he use mine?’ Then I came to and realized I was wasting time:” “I’ll say you were and you’re fairly spilling it now. Keep going! Tou did go after him, didn’t you?” “I did, Sam, but first I shouted for Mark. I hadn’t much hope that be would hear me but I didn’t dare wait to make sure. I squeezed my boyish figure through that window and wriggled to the balcony. I lis­ tened. I could hear only the pound of the surf and the crack of frost -in the trees. Cautiousftr I peered over. Nothing moving. A sound! After this I'll never doubt that hair can rise. Mine felt like that green stuff you see growing up straight on one of those terra cotta heads. I Estened. Sounded like a curtain flap­ ping. Then I noticed that the win­ dow next to mine was open.' Had the man gone in instead of over? “I knew that it was. a Lookout House window, Brooke, but I didn’t know whose room. I couldn’t be fussy about that. AU the horrors I’d ever heard rushed through my mind as I thought of the missing razor and of what might be happen- -ing to you and Lucette and Sam.” He ran his fingers under his col­ lar. “It chokes me even to think of it.' Where was I? Oh, yes, I squeezed through and dropped softly to the floor. I stopped to lock the window and draw the shade—my late visitor might have a pal, I reasoned— before I tiptoed into the adjoining room. It was a bedroom unlighted. Behind a hanging I reconnoitered. A mirror over a desk in the next room reflected a boudoir with flower panels; then I knew that the room was Brooke’s. AU the lights were on. No one there. I crept in. A desk drawer was on the floor, its contents scattered In all directions. A chair was overturned. I lived years crossing that room. What could I see? What would I find on the other side of that door? The haU was dark. The man—” “Call him the Bath-Crystal Ban­ dit and be done with it, but get him out of this house, Brooke’s eyes wUl pop out of her head in a minute.” “Don’t interrupt, Sam. Go on, Jed. Did you see anyone?” “Couldn’t see anything. Didn’t dare use my flash for fear I might be spotted. I figured that the man bad heard me enter my room, had beat it to the balcony, had seen’ the open window of this house, had crawled in planning to make his get-away from the lower floor. I gumshoed down holding my breath at every creak of a stair board, ex­ pecting every minute that I’d be sniped at. / “In the haU I stopped to listen. Sounds upstairs. Faint sounds. I hunted for the Ught switch. Found it. It seemed years that I waited in the dark with my finger itching to press that button. The. house was so stiU I could hear my brain working. Stairs creaked! Back stairs! Ar door swung! He was coming! A chair crashed! I had him! I shouted: “ ‘Don’t move! I’ve got you cov­ ered!’ Snapped on the hall light. When I saw you two blinking and staring like owls, you could have knocked m e over with a toothpick. That’s the end of my installment of the serialr Now, perhaps you’ll ex­ plain why you were prowling round this house?” With her arms in the big green mandarin sleeves crossed on the white porcelain table, her eyes deep shining pools of excitement, Brooke, leaned forward and told him. Stew­ art’s Eps and cheeks puffed and 'de­ flated at second intervals as he lis­ tened. Suddenly, Sam raised his hand in warning. “Listen, folks! Footsteps! Stealthy! Outside! Who’s coming?” Jed Stewart sprang up. He caught bis chair before it. could crash, and swung it experimentally as Sam pressed the Ught switch and plunged the room into ghostly gloom. The back door opened softly. Brooke held her throat tight in one hand to stifle an exclamation. The Ught flashed on. She closed Eer eyes. Opened them. Was that Henri, Henri standing in the middle of tne floor, with the blinking green parrot making queer noises under his arm, or was this ,more night- B y Emilie Loring 0 BmOIeLoring. WNU Service. mare? She was awake. Sam was real, as he stood with his finger on the switch. Jed Stewart was real, as he puffed his Ups in time to the swing of the chair he clutched. Hen­ ri’s ghastly face, distended eyes, and the savage invectives which gritted through his chattering teeth, were real. “Cut that line!” Sam took a step toward the butler. “You should ap- preciatethis Uttle surprise party in­ stead of acting as if you’d stepped into a nest of scorpions. It wasn’t but a couple of hours ago I saw you in this very kitchen dressed—or un­ dressed—for bed. Why did you go out?” Henri made a desperate attempt to steady his quivering mouth. He looked like an innocent pris­ oner haled before an accusing judge; his expression was incredibly grieved as he huddled the parrot under his arm and twisted his soft hat in one hand. He appealed to Brooke. “I don’t know why your brother should speak to me as if I was a criminal, Miss. Haven’t I the right to go out at night, even if I had started for bed?” He attempted to inject the virus of defiance into his uneven voice. ; “Of course you have, Henri, but the papers are so full of burglaries and hold-ups that when we heard you stealing in we didn’t know but what it was our turn. Where did you find Mr. Micawber?" “That’s why I went out, _ Miss. Couldn’t go to sleep, had him on my mind. Queer where I found him. Everything’s queer tonight.” Henri shuddered. “Nothing strange has been happening in this house, has it?” “Nothing at all, Henri, nothing at all,” Sam assured quickly. “We sat up talking and got hungry again.” “I’m glad of that, Mr. Sam, that nothing strange happened, I mean, “Now, Don’t Be Frightened, Maggie.” because I - I found things'terrible • ig outside.” rong!” Not until she felt Sam’s foot on hers was Brooke conscious of her explosive exclamation. She noticed that the butler’s long cruel fingers shook as he' passed them over his slack mouth. “I don’t wonder you’re upset, Miss; you’ll be more so when you hear that the old madame’s limou­ sine is gone.” “Gone where?” Sam demanded. Henri shrugged thin sloping shoul­ ders. “That’s what I asked myself when I opened the garage door and the big car wasn’t there.” “What did you do after you dis­ covered that Mrs. Dane’s car was missing?” asked Brooke. 4I ran to the Other House—you’ll excuse me, Miss, for going to Mr. Mark first; I’ve always thought of him as being the heir, you see.” “Don’t stop even to explain, Hen­ ri. Can’t you see that we are fright- fuUy excited? Perhaps something more than the car has been stolen. Did you find Mr. Trent?” “No, Miss, and there’s something queer there too. That Jap, Kowa, came rushing to the door when I kept my finger on the bell, and he shouts: ‘Where’s my boss? I been over house, one, two, t’ree time. Boss gone! He been kidnaped, I t’ink! Loud noise, Mr. Jed’s room.’ I run there quick. Green parrot in bath­ tub, swearing fine.’ “I ran upstairs for the parrot, thinking the Jap had a,bad scare on and I’d see Mr. Mark some­ where. But I didn’t. The Jap and I looked everywhere but he was not there.” Tense silence in the white and green kitchen. Chilled and exhaust­ ed by his foray into the outside world, the parrot huddled. within the curve of Henri's arm making sounds in his throat like a tribal dialect The faint scent of bacon lingered in the stillness, a stillness haunted by tragic , conjectures and possibilities which turned Brooke’s blood to. ice. Sam laughed from sheer nervous tension. Jed Stewart lashed at him furiously: “You would do that! It’s all the­ ater to you Reybums, isn’t i t and side - spUtting theater at th at Where’s Mark? That's the only thing I want to know. Where’s Mark?” “Present.” Mark Trent answered from the doorway. Brooke’s heart stopped, raced on. What had made that deep welt across his forehead? His face -was colorless. Henri’s thin quavery voice broke the speU. “Have you been hunting for the parrot too, Mr. Mark?” Mark Trent’s hand was unsteady as he held a Ughter to his ciga­ rette. His eyes reflected the flame «s he looked at the butler. “Not for the parrot, Henri. I’m hunting now for the man who killed Mrs. Hunt.” STA R DU ST CHAPTER X Mark Trent flinched as he ap­ proached the white cottage. It seemed days since he had driven away from this very house in the limousine fiUed with his aunt’s sti­ ver; days since the message had come to Cassidy’s garage from the police that Mrs. Hunt was dead and he had left there in a flivver with Mike at the wheel. They had stopped at Lookout House to make sure that the Reybums were safe before they had burned up the road to get here. But it hadn’t been days, not much more than an hour had passed. No use waiting, he must go in. As he entered a small living- room, Inspector Harrison was kneeling by the fireplace. His pierc­ ing eyes guttered as he looked up and nodded to Mark. “They got her aU right/’ Mark Trent stepped 'forward, blindly for an instant. He sunk his teeth deep in his Ut>s to steady them before he looked 'down. Lola, the woman who had been his wife, lay on the floor. She was dressed for the street—had she been about to drive away the limousine fidl of stiver? The question flashed through his mind only to be instant­ ly submerged in a flood of pity. She looked so young, so shabby, so hap­ less. Her shabbiness hurt him most, she had been so exquisite. He was glad that he had made her that allowance. Her hat had fallen off. A current of air stirred a. lock of her dark hair. Her hands were sttil now. One gripped an open bag, the fingers of the other were bruised. He dropped to his knee beside the inspector. “Can’t something be done? Can’t we move her to a couch?” “No! No, not until the coroner comes.” “What happened?” "They got her rings. She had rings, hadn’t she?” “She had when I saw her—a few days ago. Valuable rings. Other jewels too.” “Then I guess we got the motive. Better come away, boy, you can’t do anything,” Inspector Harrison suggested in his persuasive voice. “Life hasn’t seemed as smooth as a trotting park to me to date, Bill, but tonight it seems a terrifying, horrible thing.” “I know, boy, I know. Bring her in, Tim.” The inspector spoke to the policeman with ears like clinging bats, who appeared at the door: “It’s the Cassidy girl,” he ex­ plained to Mark. “Kinder tough to bring her into this room, but there don’t seem to be any other place. We’ve waited till her father got here before questioning her. Mike’s a grand fella and me friend since we were lads together. Here you are,'Maggie!” The hint of joviaUty in his soft voice missed its mark, for the six­ teen-year-old girl, who entered the room as if dragged by unseen hands, regarded him with terrified Irish blue eyes. The inspector placed a chair with its back to the still figure on the floor. “Sit here, Maggie.” As she sat down, Mike Cassidy laid his heavy ham-bone hand on her shoulder. The inspector cleared his throat. “Now, don’t be frightened, Mag­ gie. Ain’t I just the same Bill Har­ rison who’s been chumming round witii your dad ever since you was a Uttle girl, and ain’t I got kids of my own? AU you got to do is to tell me what happened in this house to­ night.” “Course, I ain’t afraid of you, Inspector,” the girl reptied, more at ease. “I’ll1 tell what I know. I sleep in the attic, it’s got a dormer back and front. I was' dead beat when I went to bed, what with the housework an’ havin’ to run out to fill tanks. The boss was sick till afternoon an’—” “Drunk, wasn’t he? Tell it straight, Maggie.” - “All right, Inspector,’ he was. I' don’t know what time it was when I was woke up by a car stopping at the garage; sounded like a classy car. We don’t have much late trade —an’ the boss told me today that the crowned heads here, that’s what he said, ‘crowned heads,’ bad put him out of business—so I got up and looked out to see what ’twas aU about. I can see into the garage from my back window.” - “Check up on that, Tim.” “ Yes, Inspector.” The golicemar with the ears vanished into the ball (TO BE CONTlNVEDt Warner Baxter * jMLovie • R adio *★ ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA VALB★★★ WHILE all the important motion-picture producers were trying to interest Ronald Colman in big, serious dramas, he slipped over to the Hal Roach studio and agreed to star in a goofy comedy called “Fan­ cy Free.” No one else even sus­ pected that Ronnie wanted to join the parade of iserious play­ ers who have scored in light of­ ferings.

Her husband views the whole project with distaste, until he finds that his barber-shop chord barytone is just what the op­ era scouts have been looking for.

It has been made twice before, but not in the gorgeous way that Sam will make it. He plans to have Merle pberon play the beautiful princess and Gary Cooper the American newspaper man who rescues and marries her. Since he subbed for Don Ameche on the Charlie-McCarthy-Nelson Ed­ dy program, Herbert Marshall is the most-sought-after actor in Holly­ wood for radio programs.

Motion-picture fans who have been lamenting because so many of their Hollywood favorites have abandoned the screen for a fling on the stage can just stop worrying. So far the plays have n o t b e e n g o o d enough to hold the . , players for long.

Smart women everywhere are clamoring for wool. They’re wearing it to work in, to play in, to date in, to go to' church in. Yes, wool is going places! Sew-Your-Own is here to­ day (and will be here tomorrow) with three ultra-sm ooth new models for you to choose from— just to make sure you won’t be a poor Uttle lady without “something in wool” for Fall. Needs Slim Lines. That “something in wool” might well and easily be the handsome model at the left above. Espe­ cially does a weightier fabric need slim lines and here you have them pared down to hairline precision. The zipper from throat to hemline gives this frock additional chic, and the far-reaching collar takes care of that all-important need for contrast. French wine, black, duck green, and gendarme blue are the popular colors. Compliment to Youth. Youth and the blouse ’n’ skirt have always gone sporting .to­ gether. That’s a compliment to youth and real flattery for the two- piecer above, center. This engag­ ing combination has a waist-cost- ish topper and a simply cut, flar­ ing skirt. A singular asset is its size range: 14 to 42. And because it is figure flattering every size is benefited. Acetate crepe is lovely for the blouse; velvet or thin wool is sm art for the skirt. ForaB usyB ody. If you’re, a busy body or a lady of legion labors, you’ll thank Sew- Your-Own for the charming new frock at the right. N ow isthetim e to cut two versions: one in ging­ ham for housework, another as your “something in wool” in the long sleeve style for all occasions. Remember then, • double your chances for day-in, day-out chic with this one becoming model and save one-third on time and one- half on the price of your new Fall wardrobe assets. .

P u J c r t Z VrM SUMMARIZES THE WORLDSUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK <£) Western Newspaper Union. [May Meet in Brussels HOW far President Roosevelt is willing to go in the effort to stop Japan in China is what , other powers, especially Great Britain, are eager to know. The people of the United States also would like to be informed in that matter. The British statesmen wish America to take the lead, and also they would like the suggested conference of the nine-power treaty signatories to be held in Washington. This latter sug­ gestion is definitely opposed in our capital, and so it was believed Brussels might be selected as the meeting place. Cities in Switzer­ land also were considered. Mr. Roosevelt, who conferred with Secretary of State Hull, Undersecre­ tary Sumner Welles and Norman Davis, his roving ambassador, was represented as being strongly , averse to taking a solitary lead in the action to check the Japanese. Apparently he preferred that the “quarantining” of nations guilty of v “international lawlessness” which he proposed in his Chicago speech should be limited to a united inter­ national moral stand. The National Coimcil for Preven­ tion of War, representing a part of the extreme peace sentiment in the United States, announced that its annual meeting had declared for im­ mediate invocation of the neutrality law which the President has not seen fit to put in operation. The council was strongly against a boy­ cott on Japanese goods, believing this would only aggravate the situ­ ation. Japan Denies Violations TN A formal reply to the charges 4 of treaty violation the TiAyo for­ eign office flatly denied responsibili­ ty for the Sino-Japanese conflict and asserted that China, not Japan, had violated the treaties. The anti-Jap­ anese attitude and the mobilizing of Chinese troops, said the statement, forced Japan to take military ac­ tion, entirely in self-defense. Japan disclaimed any desire to annex parts of Chinese territory, and de­ clared the accusing nations misun­ derstand the situation. IItaly Supports Japanese / T v HERE was considerable doubt ■ whether Italy would take part in the Pacific treaty conference, but it was assumed that if it did, it would defend the course pursued by Japan in China and would do w hat/ it could to frustrate the designs of (he other conferees. This was assured by the message con­ veyed to the. Tokyo government'by Gia- cinto Auriti, Italian ambassador to Ja­ pan. According .to a Japanese news agency, Auriti promised Kensuke Horinouchi, Japanese vice foreign minister, that “Italy will never spare general support to Japan.” Win Big Battle IISPATCHES froin Shanghai said the Japanese forces in north China had won a big victory in Hopei province, breaking through the Chinese lines at Shichiachuang on a vital railway after three days of fierce fighting. However, the Chi­ nese claimed to have strengthened their positions in that region and it was reported the communist eighth route anhy was heavily ^attacking the rear and; flank ;of. file Japanese cohimns in Shansi province. Neutral observers thought the Japanese conquest of North China would soon be complete. In Tokyo Prince Konoye, the pre­ mier, formed a supreme war coun­ cil of national leaders. Japan’s plan to set up an autono- Giacinto Aurifi Japs D 3 JohnL.Lewis contemptible” mous republic comprising the five northern provinces is' revealed in the Tokyo press. The capital is to be Peiping under its old name of Peking. —*— No Peace for Labor TXTAR between the.rival factions in American organized labor is not going to cease in the near future. The C. I. O. leaders gathered in Atlantic City for their first “war council,” and John jf L. Lewis, their Ifm "chief, revealed v R ? " plans for setting up a permanent dual organization. He condemned the sus­ pension of the C. I. O. unions from the American Federa­ tion of Labor as “c o w a rd ly a n d and said those unions considered themselves now out of the federation and awaited any further action by the federation with complete indifference. In the federation convention at Denver it .was taken for granted that the ten C. I. O. unions would be finally expelled, and President Greenannounced plans for the attack on the rival organisation in several great fields. The first vigorous blow will be struck on the Pacific coast in a drive to organize workers in the cannery and agricultural field. The second battle ground will be among the white collar workers gen­ erally, and an effort to. offset the C. I. 0. maritime groups on the Pacific coast was considered. One of the speakers in Denver was Senator George L. Berry of, Tennessee. He has kept his press-, men’s union within the federation, although he was closely associated; with Lewis in “Labor’s Non-Parti-, san league.” Berry maintained his seat on the .fence, wishing success to the federation organization cam­ paign, and also to the organizing efforts of “others.” More TVA's Opposed ONE of the bills which President Roosevelt wants congress to push through in the expected special session is the measure introduced by Senator Norris creating seven more TVA’s to preserve and develop nat­ ural resources throughout the coun­ try. The bill was approved .-by a senate subcommittee, but publica­ tion of hearings held by the house committee on rivers and harbors shows that interested departments of the government oppose the plan. . In these published hearings the Department of Agriculture especial­ ly excoriated the authority idea, saying that “it would- permit and seems even to propose duplication, by the conservation authorities of a large part of -the work of the Department of Agriculture.” TheTreasurydepartmentobjected to construction, operation, and main­ tenance of sewage and industrial waste disposal plants by federal au­ thorities working “independent of and not subject to health laws of the respective states.” The Department of Justice “pre­ ferred”. not to offer any suggestion. Thie Department of Lahor reported “no specialized knowledge” <rf flood control and conservatibn. Court Upholds Black EHJR the present, at any rate, 4 Hugo L. Black's seat on the Su­ preme court bench is secure. The court refused to permit Albert Levitt, former federal judge in the Virgin ^ Islands, and Patrick Heiwy Kelly of Boston to contest the le­ gality -of Black’s appointment. The ruling was.announced by Chief Jus-, tice Hughes, who said the two men did not have sufficient interest in the litigation. Levitt indicated he might start other proceedings. what Cobb The Place Ot Radio. S ANTA MONICA, CALIF. —, “Deke” Aylesworth says' radio can never displace news-j papers. “Deke” is with Roy, Howard’s newspapers now and naturally wouldn’t care to have his job shot out from under him by a loudspeaker. Most of us. feel that way about our jobs, !un­ less we happen to be working in some state institution, such as a penitentiary. Radio never can displace news­ papers any more than mflk-tiekets can displace milk. The n e w s p a p e r reader chooses what he pleases from the day’s coverage— gratifying obituary notices of people he didn’t like; convinc­ ing statements from financial wizards ex­ plaining why his in­ vestments turned s o u r a f te r he’d bought them on ad- JrvJ11 g, vice of aforesaid wizards; and, about once in so oft- ten, exciting special articles about the Hope diamond or the William Desmond Taylor case or the lure of Mr. Robert Taylor. But, the lis­ tener-in on radio must accept what somebody else already has predi­ gested, which puts him in the same class with tapeworms. So long as you can’t wrap up a picnic lunch in a radio or use short wave sets to line pantry shelves with, we’ll have newspapers. Thanks, “Deke,” I’m working for a string of newspapers myself. * * * The League’s New Head. ITAKE back all I ever said about the League of Nations being as futile as a fly swatter in a saloon brawl. The league has a new president— Ihe Aga Khan, who has the largest private income on earth because 40,000,000 Mohammedans regard him as divine and pay for the priv­ ilege, often going hungry in order to do so. And he certainly is quali­ fied to head a society dedicated to peace—he never parted from any of his wives except with the utmost harmony. Well, to celebrate his election, the Aga Khan gave the most gorgeous banquet ever staged in Geneva— 1,500 bottles of champagne and 300 pounds of caviar. Thus did the league justify its right to existence. There were but few flies in the ointment. Ethiopia’s delegates were either deceased or missing, the league having drawn the color line, so to speak, which was more than Mussolini did when he wiped out their country last year. Spain’s delegates likewise were ab­ sent, being mostly dead or else fighting one another. • « • Sick Calls De Luxe. DAT O’BRIEN, the actor, tells this 4 one about an Irish cop at the crossing who waved a car contain­ ing three priests to proceed after the stop signal had gone up and then, with harsh words, checked an­ other driver who sought to follow along, too. “But you let that'other car with those three clergymen in it go through,” protested the halted one. “They was on their way to a sick call,” stated the officer. "Now wait a minute,” said the citizen. “I happen to be a Catholic myself and I know about those things. Who ever heard of three priests-'going on one sick call?” For a moment only the policeman hesitated. Then he snapped: “Say, young feller, tell me this, you that knows so much—did you never hear of a solemn high sick call?”« * * French Slickers. POLICE are still trying to round * up the slickers who, in one day, raided twenty-nine banks scattered all over- France. This reminds a fellow of 1931, when the bank ex­ aminers were coroners simultane; oiisly sitting 'on the mortal remains of an even larger number of Amer­ ican banks, the main difference be­ ing that these French banks were looted by outside parties. ' According to dispatches, this job was accomplished through fraudu­ lent credentials for strangers pre­ senting forged drafts. But I beg leave to doubt that part, remem­ bering when I turned up at various outlyhig points over there with prop­ er . identifications and a ' perfectly good letter of credit. - What excite­ ment then on the part of the cashier (spade beard) and what deep dis­ tress for :the president (trellis whiskers) and what stifled moans from the board of directors (assort­ ed beavers) when, finally, they had to fork over. Why you can wreck a perfectly good bank here in less time than it takes to get a certified check for $9.75, less exchange, -' cashed in a French provincialbank. But should it develop that any of these recently stolen francs were earmarked for payment to us on ac­ count of that war debt—brethren, that would indeed be news. IRVIN S. COBB. C—WWU Service. Washington! Digest iik National Topics Interpreted I IB y W IL U A M BRUCKART NATIONAL i^RESS BLDG.WASHINGTON, D C. Washington.—I doubt that there is any phase or function, of govem- _ _ . ment that is less O ur Foreign understood by the P olicy people at large than questions or actions relating to foreign policy. It is easy to understand why this is s6. American foreign policy, lflre the foreign policy of every other’nation, is closely akin to patchwork. It cannot be otherwise because of the very nature of the matters to be dealt with officially. Foreign policy, indeed, is one thing to which Presi­ dent Roosevelt’s oft-quoted state­ ment about his decisions resembling those of a football quarterback can be most properly applied. It is a day-to-day treatment with new de­ cisions as changes come in the in­ ternational play. This brings us to the President’s Chicago speech and the announce­ ment by the State department of American conclusions that Japan is the aggressor in China. Of course, all persons who have read anything about the Sino-Japanese war knew long ago that the Japs were con­ ducting a raid on China. Officials of the government knew it also, but there is a difference and must be a difference in the methods employed by individuals as distinct from those employed by a nation which repre­ sents all of its individual citizens. .Time had to elapse, therefore, be­ fore our government or any other could say definitely and publicly that Japan was seeking to acquire new territory by theft and seizure. Many observers and many in­ dividuals have indicated their sur­ prise at the President’s speech which, by the way, was the most distinct pronouncement of any that he has ever made. There was like­ wise surprise when the secretary of state, Mr. Hull, gave the press his statement condemning Japanese ag­ gression even though the statement should have been anticipated after Mr. Roosevelt’s Chicago speech and after word had come from Geneva that the League of Nations appeared unanimous in the same conclusion. The reason that I say there should have been no surprise .concerning the final position which our govern­ ment has taken traces back to the administration of President Hoover and Henry L. Stimson, then secre­ tary of state. It was at that time that a fundamental change took place in our foreign policy but it was not a change that appeared to be sensational at the moment. In other words, the position which Mr. Hoover and Mr. Stimson took at that time was overlooked because there was -no real crisis to attract attention to American policy. What that change in policy did is plain now. It was the beginning of the end of the isolationist program which followed the bitter contro­ versy over President Wilson’s pro­ posal that, the United States affiliate with the League of Nations and ad­ here, to all phases of the program embodied in the league covenant. The reaction against Mr. Wilson’s plan was violent and carried us to the other .extreme—so much so that for a number of years we were a lone wolf among nations in fact as well as in name. The one thing that, really repre­ sents an important change of pol­ icy that Mr. Roosevelt enunciated at Chicago is his view of neutrality. Without making any particular ref­ erence to ttm neutrality statute en- acted -last printer underthe sponsor­ ship of Senator Pittman of Nevada, Mr. Roosevelt announced without equivocation that the United Sbates will do everything it can, short of military force, to curb the Japanese course in China. That is to say, and I believe it is accurate, we will not invoke the neutrality laws if such a course will do harm to the Chinese. Rather, the American pol­ icy for the time being at least in­ volves working hand in hand with other nations that m ay be striving to maintain international order and morality in m atters in- which we are directly concerned.• • • I have been asked several times ecently concerning the possibility „ , that the UnitedK eep O ut o f states may ' en- F or E tu t W ar gage in actual war in the Far East. I think that eventuality is very far removed.- Possibilities always exist for a na­ tion to get tangled up international- Iy iunder conditions -such as - obtain throughout the world today, yet I do not believe that the United States ever will do more in the Far East than exert moral pressure upon file Japs. It must not be overlooked, however, that the bulk of Ameri­ can sympathy is with the Chi­ nese. One cannot tell Kow far that may lead us as a nation; Nor is it possible to forecast the weight of this sympathy in an economic way. I mean by ’that,'no one can fore­ tell what such a thing as a. boycott ofiJapanese goods may mean even­ tually. From all of this it must be plain that our national course in the next few- months will have to be deter­ mined largely by the other fellow. Or, to state the proposition in an­ other way, the lengths to which the United States will go in punitive ac­ tion against Japan is likely to be determined, first; by the reaction of our own citizens to Japanese bar­ barism and, second, the moves by other dominant nations of the worlds Mr. Roosevelt was returning from an 8,000-mile trip when he delivered his Chicago speech. That trip was announced in advance as being for the purpose of an inspection—to see how the country was taking the New Deal. That, however, was not the whole truth. Mr. Roosevelt wanted to feel the public pulse politically on the Supreme court packing prop­ osition and its related questions; he wanted to find out how the country felt concerning those Democrats who had opposed the court packing; he needed information about the de­ mand for an extra session of con­ gress to enact crop control legisla­ tion and, in addition, he wanted to see what the general feeling was about the Sino-Japanese war. The trip was timed admirably. It took Mr. Roosevelt away from Washington and, further, away from the red-hot cauldron resulting from the fact that Associate Justice Hugo L. Black of Alabama was a mem­ ber of the Ku Klux Kl an. The information that filters back from observers aboard the Presi­ dent’s train presents something of a paradox. Almost unanimously, the observers found that Mr. Roose­ velt was still immensely popular personally. Concerning his various programs, including crop control legislation, the observers report that they found conditions ranging from violent opposition'to plain apathy or complete lack of interest. It is a most confusing situation from a political standpoint. I have found few individuals able or willing to attempt an analysis of it. Gen­ erally speaking, lack of enthusiasm for a program, sooner or later will kill off politically the individual who sponsors the program. Yet, no one will say at this time at least that such a result can be expected in Mr. Roosevelt’s case. But the political effect of his Chi­ cago speech must not be minimized. Whether Mr. Roosevelt so intended or not, his speech demanding that Japan respect treaties and observe the rights of other nations and his pointed criticism of policies such as those employed by Mussolini, Hit­ ler and Stalin, have the effect of rallying the people behind him.« * * Some persons who are opposed to the New Deal have been mean' . , enough to say that B lack Mr. Roosevelttook Klan Affair his trip West in or­ der to get away from Washington until the incident involving Associate Justice Black had blown over. I do not know whether the exposure that Mr. Jus­ tice Black had been a member of the Ku Klux Klan alone: prompted Mr. Roosevelt to leave. I repeat only what is being said.. Mr. Justice Black has now taken his seat as a member of the court. He told the country in a radio speech before assuming the robes of office that he had resigned from the Klan and that, as far as he was concerned, the incident was (dosed. He stooped somewhat, I think, when he tried to dodge the issue by charg­ ing that those who had exposed his Kkui' connections Were trying to 'dis- 1 credit Mr. Roosevelt. But, Mr. Black is now a member of the court and I do not see what anybody can do in the way of unseating him. The reason for adverting again to the Black Klan affair is to make a prediction. That prediction is: as long as Mr. Black sits as a member of the Supreme court of the United States, he will receive repercussions of the case. I will wager now that regardless of what position Mr. Black takes in deciding any future litigation, there will be those who will point to him and remark that “he was once a member of the Ku Klux Klan.” Likewise, regard­ less of the views or arguments he advances in any decisions rendered by the' court, Mr. Black will be re­ ferred to continuously as “the Klan member” or as “the Roosevelt lib­ eral.” Take it any way you like—the ap­ pointment and the confirmation o* Hugo Black as a member of the Su­ preme court under the circum­ stances now known and affirmed by Mr. Black himself constitutes one of the worst situations yet recorded on the appointive power of the Presi­ dent and the power of the senate to approve presidential nominations.

In spoil, in industry, on Ihe stage, in medicine, aviation and the beau­ ty parlor, the mask h a s i t s important niche. Here we pre­ sent a few pictorial examples submitted by expert cameramen fhrcughuut the United States and Europe. Once the court gallants of Elizabeth’s time wore masks when they kept illicit love trysts. Statesmen, too, while engaged in intrigue, resorted to this camouflage. Today a steel worker wears a mask to protect Iflm from the glare and super-heat of an oxy-acetylene torch. rI I Even animals wear masks Ut Europe to protect them from gas attacks in warfare. At left, a German dog with its mistress, and above, an Ameri­ can military horse. Throughout history, the mask has been the symbol of the theater. In ancient ,Greece, all actors wore !masks. Theatrical masks of !pure gold have been found in the tombs of Egypt's princesses an d . pharaohs. At the right is seen a Benda mask, used in the theater of the present day.

Lesson for October 31 THE MORAL ISSUE IN THE DRINKPBQiBLEM LESSON TEXT—Ramans 13:12-14; I Carinthians 6:9-11; Galatians 5:16-24. GOLDEN TEXT—Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.— Galatians 5:16. PRIMARY TOPIC-M y Neighbors. JUNIOR TOPIC-The Greatest Law. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Why Is It Wrong to Drink Alcoholic Bev­ erages? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Moral Issue in the Drink Problem. The title for our lesson is well- chosen—“The Moral Issue in the Drink Problem.” First, let it be clear that there is an issue. Those who have business, social, or political connections with the liquor traffic would like to have us believe that the repeal of prohi­ bition settled the matter once for all. But let us be sure of this fact— the liquor problem is ■ at our very door, and it must be met. In the second place, many would have us think that the matter of drunkenness is a social, political, or even a physical problem, without any moral implications whatever. But those who are informed know that even the supposedly innocent beer is inextricably tied up t with vice and crime. A prisoner in'a fed­ eral penitentiary writing before pro­ hibition was repealed said; “Crimi­ nals hail with delight . . . the re­ turn of liquor via the beer route and the greater license that the return of the saloon will, inevitably bring. Mtith the return of beer will come open prostitution and gambling.” His words were true. I. Drunkenness Is a Work of Dark­ ness (Rom. 13:12-14). Just as there are darkness and daylight in the physical universe, so there are two contrasting spiritual realms, of darkness and light. Men “loved darkness rather than light because their deeds Were evil,” according to the Lord Jesus. (See John 3:19.ftStbis spiritual realm of darkness is directed by “rulers of the darkness of this world” (Eph. 6:12), and their purpose is “spiritu­ al wickedness.” With the “works of darkness” the believer is to “have no fellowship” (Eph. 5:11), but is to "reprove them” and-bring them into the light where their true na­ ture is made manifest (Eph. 5:13). “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all,” and those who have fellowship with him “walk in the light.” (See I John 1:5-7.) Dnuikenness is a work of dark­ ness. It separates man from God and makes him fear the glorious light of his countenance. The solu­ tion for that awful condition is re­ vealed in v. 14. “Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.” n. Drunkenness Is a Work of Un­ righteousness (I Cor. 6:9-11).’ No drunkard “shall inherit the kingdom of God” (v. 10), and the man who takes his first drink has put his foot on the path that leads to the drunkard’s grave. Of course •no man pjlans to go that far, but the fact is that such is the tragic con­ clusion for hundreds of thousands of men and women—damned for time and eternity by drink. Again in this passage we have the answer to our problem. Not refor­ mation, not education,’ not culture (desirable and. useful though we recognize these things ,to be), but being “washed,” “sanctified,” and “justified” in “the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of God.” Try that on your town drunkard. Thank God, it works! I I I . Drunkenness Is a Work of the Flesh (Gal. 5:16-24). ' The. flesh—that is our bodies ruled over by self-will as opposed to God’s will—is revealed in the Scriptures to be thoroughly bad, and in opposi­ tion to God. Consider the appalling list of the works of the flesh in verses 19 and 20. And note that in the midst of them stands drunken­ ness. It is the lowest in man that re­ sponds to intoxicants. Little-.won- der that the Brewers’ Journal came out right after the election, of 1932 with the statement that “not one tenth of one-per cent of American youths know the taste of real beer. We mast educate them.” In other words the normal taste of. an in­ telligent person would revolt at the stuff, but once give it a chance to stir the lusts of “the flesh”'and the victim is caught. Once again, note the antidote- live in the power’of the Holy Spirit, and the flesh with its lusts is cruci­ fied (v. 24). How shall we have the Holy Spirit and his power in our lives? By .taking the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Saviour. -Words Without Action Few men suspect how much mere talk fritters away spiritual: energy —that which should be spent in ac­ tion, spends itself in words.

Write it ^ down on your shopping memoranda as many times as you wish and then add a post­ script in favor of lace; for lace reaches a new high this season in the matter of importance. Yes, in­ deed, if you are seeking style distinc­ tion, the sooner you turn laceward the better. What the style creators of our day and generation are doing with lace in the way of daring and ingenious handling leaves nothing to the imag­ ination. For instance, there are the stunning lace trimmed black sheer wool dresses that bear the Paris stamp and carry that "something different” look which we . all covet. Perhaps it is the sleeves 'banded with insertions of fine black-Chan­ tilly that bespeak a new lace story, or it may be that befrilled edgings !of Val edging (black or white) im­ part a charming and youthful air to -a simple black wool frock for prac­ tical daytime wear. The way Val lace is used for neckline finishings -and for outlining decorative little pockets likewise for trimming the :new blouses is most enchanting. Another adaptation of lace is in .insets and appliques of individual motifs. These are positioned any­ where on the dress much after the -manner that gay print motifs were used on monotone fabric during the past siimmer. While these insets, which are apt to be bowknot or bou­ quet cutouts, adorn evening gowns for the most part yet some design­ ers are working discreetly and most attractively into daytime wools and other fabrics. This furore over lace has also resulted in the revival of the dress with a deep lace yoke and sleeves. Leading couturiers, are showing some lovely models of this type. . I - The biggest thrill, however, comes in the acceptance of lace used in a fabric way/ The idea, to be sure, is not new for its practicality has been demonstrated without ,question during the last several seasons. Nor has the advent of fall and prospect of winter retarded the movement to use lace as one would any material for the making of practical day dresses and the blouse to wear with your smart autumn wool suit. Ontiie contrary we have come to realize and appreciate that a handsome lace dress tailored , to utmost sim­ plicity-is not only good looking and practical but being lace it flatters and “does something” for you as none other but lace can do. You’ll love a dress like the one shown to the right in the illustration to wear this fall and winter under your furred cloth or all-fur coat. Just try out the idea and see how practically and logically this theory of lace for the daytime frock works out. This tailored frock of black lace over a black slip fits ideally in­ to the mood for simple elegance that dominates the new fashions. It is an almost classic style accent­ ing the slenderizing lines that are a fashion “must” this , season. The zipper fastening from neckline to hemline is the piece de resistance, giving the gold touch that glorifies black this season throughout the mode. Speatting of this fastening, most everything, dress, coat, blouse, bag and girdle, is decoratively, at the same time practically and con­ veniently zippered this season. If in doubt as to the new blouse to wear with your autumn suit, let lace, either handsome wool lace or the now-so-modish macrame or some equally as sturdy type, solve your problem. In a noted Paris collection showing new clothes for fall, Martial et Armand presented the black crepe suit with silver fox' which we are showing to the left in the picture. The most outstanding thing about the ensemble is the com­ bination of lace with crepe. Lace is also being combined with many oth­ er fabrics in the fall showings of eminent French designers. In this case the blouse is of china-blue lace with interesting neck treatment. A black belt accents the color con­ trast.© Western Newspaper Union* HER STARLET BAG By CHERIE NICHOLAS The movies have a great deal to do with the modem trend in child thought, and when a child sees her favorite star carrying a sm art little handbag, as little girls in filmland are wont to do, she wants one too. To satisfy this longing a well-known designer is creating miniature rep­ licas of “grown-up” handbags for ,aspiring starlets. You can see by ;the picture that a f‘starlet” bag car­ ries with it just such movie glamor as delights the-heart of any and w ary little girJ- WOODEN TRIMMINGS FOR FALL COSTUMES Novelty wooden buttons adorn many of the newest sports frocks while handsomely carved wooden clips, pins and buckles are also fea­ tured as trimmings. Polished themes are noted with the real grain of the wood brought out as well as though an antique cabinet maker had been working on it. Plaids, cut-out leaf and flower motifs and many other themes also are intro­ duced. Belts made entirely of wooden pieces hinged together or of wood in alliance with metal chains are dec­ orative assets to suits as well as dressed while the same ideas are re­ peated in the designing of necklaces and bracelets. Pouch' Bags Fashionable as an Accessory for Autumn Pouch bags are back in style for fall and are shown in soft dull leath­ er broader, at the base -than at the top. Fashioned with round or rec- tangular caps that fit over the open­ ing of the bag, when it is opened the sides may be . spread out so that the contents may be found easily. .
