' The principles of government to which we have adhered since our early history have enabled us to be come the greatest nation in the world.. Thoseprincipleshavebeen given a thorough try-out and have proved worthy. We do not believe that they should be recklessly tossed overboard and replaced with a lot of experimental theories and ideas: Nor do we believe, that our • people have lost all ability to govern them selves. - And yet, let us look back upon the road that we have been traveling during .the past four or five years. The NRA was established to give the Federal Government control of business. Wages, hours of labor, prices-for various commodities—all these and other things would have taken away from the average busi ness man practically all of the rights aud liberties which he had been en joying in the past. Tbe AAA was established to -give the Federal Government control of agriculture in all Sfits various rami fications. The court Bill was introduced for the purpose of giving the President control of the nation's supreme judiciary. The Government Reorganization bill was offered so that the President would be in complete control of all important federal departments. AU ot those measures were either declared unconstitutional or else were rejected by Congress. Which is something for which this country should be profoundly grateful. But despite these set-backs, there is still a pronounced insistence that we'shall continue to travel along this same road. TheNR Ais to be replaced by the wages-and-faours bill. The Crop Control billbas been substituted foT the discarded AAA. There will be further efforts at reorganization and also along other lines. AU this may not be leading toward a'federal dictatorship, but, at the same time, we believe tbat every thoughtful and open-minded citizen will'agree that they.'represent a policy which is not.In'keeping with the principles of true democratic government, A large proportion of our people are in favor of these measures because they have the ap proval of the President.

Listening to Both Sides. About a week before the farmers of. North Carolina voted on the crop control bill,, we mentioned something, about the measure in a radiobroadcast, stating that most of the talking with reference to the bill had been on one side and - that we felt the farmers were entitled to bear both sides,; the farmers should use their own judgment and.-vote as they thought best. . In connection ■ with that broad cast we received several letters. We quote from one of them: “I head your broadcast about crop control and I want to tell you that we farmers don’t want to hear both sides. Weare satisfied with the way our county agent has explain ed it.” It seems hard to believe that peo- people do not wish to hear import ant matters which affect them so vitally as some oi the national leg islation which has come up during the last few years. 1 Such, howevet apparently is'the case, There are many people. who will form , an opinion about a proposition and then will refuse to listen to any thing which might be contrary' to tbat opinion. Tnatwas true of crop control, and it is true of many other things. How much better off all of us would be if we* endeavored to real ly inform ourselves on these things and then exeicise our own judg ment instead of taking the word of biased politicians!—The State. Women In Action. When the women begin to take a band in public affairs something us ually happens. The women of Westchester county, N; Y., seem to have started something. ‘ A few of them got together and decided that it was time for the United States U. get back to the old American system of operating oh a “pay as-you-go” basis,-and'to stop spending money it hasn’t got. : They drew up a petition to Con gress.opposing the proposal that the Government try again to spend the nation back to prosperity.'

Beautiful Scenery, Gaiety, Sports And Quiet Life on the. Famed Riviera Prepared by National Geographic Society.Washington, D. C.—WNTJ Service. V ACATION cruises to the Mediterranean bring nu merous visitors to the Ital ian Riviera, continuation of the French' Riviera - section which Eais become 1Europe’s synonym for vacationlahd. The Riviera stretches toward the Sunrise and the sunset. Genoa is the .dividing point. To the east is the, Riviera di Levante—"the coast 'of theorising sun.” To the west and on across the French border extends., the Riyiera di Ponente—“the coast of the setting sun.” Two distinct designs for living are traced along the beautiful coast of the Italian Riviera. One is splashedwith gaidty1 arid sport;, the. other is as normal as life in any of the other provinces of Italy. Whoever neglects to penetrate the vicissitudes, hopes, and trials of the life of the native for the sake of that more obvious life, of thecasinos and luxury places misses the true soul of the region.To find this life of the people, one must flee, hotels and villas and nest in a tiny house,clinging to the cliffs, not too far from the sea to run down for an early morning splash. i There is a problem that one is never able. to settle: whether the , Mediterranean is more beautiful when it s is viewed from the height, jgf. a villa or when- it is explored "Song ttTe shore.’ Gazing down at the points of rock and at the sea ,that slips in between them to make blue bays with an edge of waves Jn fluffy ruffles, one may prefer the heights.c’ Portofino is an unbelievable sort ‘-of place. It gives-no intimation of . . its existence until it lies before you, below you. It is reached by leaving Santa Margherita and the sea arid, wandering over a road in the hills. Portofino a Lovely Picture. AU of a sudden, as the high road turns, a picture Ues before you. It is something of the imagination, un real, but with such charm as thrills a child after the visit of Santa Claus. You want to thrust out a sudden hand and topple over the row of colored houses set in the ,water in an outward sweep, for the fun of standing them up again. And where does the water come from? All around are wooded bills; no sight nor sound of sea. But for the Uttle yachts at anchor,; it might be thought .an inland; lake. But not even that nor anything else, gives reason for the curving line of high houses which seem to have been transferred en bloc from some crowded town.Take a climbing footpath up the opposite hiU. As you mount, you pass gardens of an occasional, fine vUla. They seem not to. belong at aU, but must be tolerated because it is the way of some rich Genoese to build such misfits. Up at the top of the path ,is a little church’on a terrace. Walk forward beyond the obstruction of verdure, and the sparkling Medi terranean Ues spread at your feet. One good jump* a stiff faU of 500 feet, and you would be in its friU of waves under the cliff. Contrast it with the hiU-locked harbor of PortoT fino just behind you. You laugh with deUght at the beauties of inconsis tencies.A gate beside the public terrace opens into a path along the top of the cliff and reaches ultimately a well-known villa. It has been used as a-setting for novels, as a retreat for distinguished individuals, as a home of reasonable revelry for or derly intellectuals, but the casuals of the road may not penetrate. It is the Castello San Giorgio, a private property, and one stops, longing like the peri outside the gate of paradise.RapaUo Niw Is a Resort. Rapallo has become rather much of a resort. Nature gave it a harbor curving, in- from;.the peninsula of Portofino, but a shallow harbor, just nice for fishermen, not yachts. ' A promenade' follows its pebbly beach, where children played with out danger and where groups of maidens walked on Sundays and threw important glances over the shoulder at groups of young men who did the same. All these things go on still, but under the eye of the people of a casino and big new hotels: Where a mountain stream ran down to join the waters, women are washing. A common sight, but if you think on the details it is a saddening one. The . woman who; washes gossips ’ with those near her; sometimes a young one breaks into a gay song. These ameliorations are but trifles against the discomforts. She who washes must do her work kneeling and bending well over the water, which is lower than she herself. What aches and weariness must be hersi- And the■ water itself-; isyas cold as mountain heights can make it. Mountain cliffs coming down into the bay have split into occasional chasms. In one such chasm the early Italians chose to build a village and called it ZoagU. It is a mere crack in the rock.- The rail way to La Spezia is fastened on miraculously high above. Was Zoagli originally a smugglers’ nest or a refuge from Sara cens? Its appeal is strong; its beauties are unique; even its occupation al life deserves both these adjec tives. As it has no width, -life there is lived on the perpendicular, a sort of Jacob’s-ladder life. ' No Privacy at ZoaglL The beach is a place of entry and departure. It is like a gate in a walled city, for movement and for gossip. -No one can go or come without the cognizance of all the village. Can life hold back any secrets when lived on a series of lad ders? A few donkeys do the heavy- carrying up steep ways, exclusive;don- ;keys that by sharing/the isolated life seem to take’their place with the people. Their life may be arduous, but they have the. hohor of sharing the house, as well as the" labor of the humans—communistic donkeys, in a word. You can see them aU alone, digging their toes into the upward path or turning suddenly into a doorway of this village without wheels. " The innkeeper tells you proudly. that the best velvets of Italy have always been made in Zoagli. That was its specialty. Hand-made velvets, “certo.” You can see the hand looms and the weavers at work up above now—yes, just as it had always been. Patiently you climb, although skeptical of a trap to catch a tourist. But it is true. The hand looms are there. The women weavers are at work. Piles of narrow ruby velvet lie about, catching the light like gems, in small, clumsy rooms that smack of the Thirteenth century. Coast of the Setting Sun. Leaving the Riviera di Levante, you may experience the. joys of motoring to places on the Riviera di Ponente, and in that glad territory that now belongs under the French flag but keeps the Italian soul, in the breast of its oldest people. Everywhere you drive your car, you run into the Saracens—their towers, their, history, and their evil reputation. They belong to.1 that marvelous Mohammedan civiliza tion that in the Middle ages' surpassed in certain ,.things the culture of Europe, much, of which was then undeveloped. They began the habit" of leaping across the Mediterranean from North Africa when the first de tachment of. these able pioneers touched Gibraltar and proceeded to possess Spain. And what did they there? They built at Cordoba a mosque, riow a cathedral, which is still the glory of the city; they built at Granada a palace which still makes poets and artists of all who have the happiness to linger in its. recesses;’ but; they were routed by . the people already living- in Europe, and ever .,since, have been branded as crimirialsand savages. The people who drove them out were eyeri less mannerly than’they. This you learn at the marvelous' village of'Eze near that point of the Moyenne Comiche (as the middle road from-Nice to Menton is catted) where the rock rises like a monument above-it. and seems to 'dom inate sea and penetrate sky. AU the world, is .on wheels -now adays; but no‘wheels of any size enter Eze-only those of hand- cart, perhaps, and the feet of men' and donkeys. Toiling ^ip -the slope with delight at every step, you pass through an archway. It is the city gate. No city opens before you; only a paved path, narrow and steep. There is not a yard of level walk in the entire maze of ways. Of real streets there are none. Extended arms touch both side walls at ohce. One might be in a crypt, so frequent are the arched spaces through which one gropes: Yet from .tiny windows above are bright eyes peeping and taking ii every movement of the strangers WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F.

MOCKSVILLE. N C- National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart National Press Bulldlns Wanhlnston. D. C. WASHINGTON. — The record of the Seventy-fifth congress has been ,, _ . ■ fully written and aN o Congrotw backward look of L tke I t a few weeks gives one the impression that probably there never was a congress like it. Certainly. I can say without equivocation that I have seen nothing like it in the 20 years that I have served as a Washmgton observer. The Seventy-fifth has been almost constantly in session since January. 1937. There were two regular ses sions—long ones—and there was that so-called extraordinary session of last November 15 which succeed ed completely in one task only, the matter of the traveling expenses which are voted the members when they come to Washington. They got that money in a hurry even though the 20 days of actual meetings proved insufficient for any other leg islative act. But for a serious review of the Seventy-fifth, let us set down these facts: it spent more money than any other congress m peacetime his tory. That is. it voted more ap propriations. It spent more time talking than nearly any other con gress that I recall and there were fewer laws passed:' I believe, than the record of any other, congress shows. (For the. latter condition. I suppose we might be thankful for there is now and always has been too many laws on our statute, books.)There has never been a congress, peacetime or otherwise, which indulged m so many political acro batic stunts. The start of the first session was completely under President Roosevelt's domination. There came the fight over enlargement of the Supreme lCourt and Uie senate went into full cry against the President. There was another stage when the house and senate both were us ing the rawhide on the executive branch. Then, the other day be fore adjournment they voted a gigantic pot of gold for presidential spending and followed that by over riding a veto. Consider this action if you want to find something that really repre sents perfection-in backward-somersaults: late last year, congress re jected the wage and hour bill and fought off the so-called anti-lynch- ing bill with a fervor that was good to see. It rejected the President's plan for reorganization of the gov ernment and did it quite vigorously. But it found a new spring board and jumped off into passage of a wage and hour bill for the nation which the President wanted very much as a sop to labor. It had in the meantime passed a tax bill so contrary to the President s wishes and so objectionable to his theories of taxation that he refused to sign it. True, it became a law. but it was the first time Mr. Roosevelt had allowed an act of congress to go across his desk without either his signature or his veto.These: things might be considered to have represented a vast amount of independence except that, as the time approached for adjournment, the members took Mr. Roosevelt's proposal for appropriation of another $5,000,000,000 for lendmg and spending and gave him a free hand in spending it. They had been do ing that before, but the significant thing was that the members, faced with a wide open opportunity, re fused to free themselves from presidential domination. It will be re membered how'four' amendments were offered to the spending-lend ing bill, each designed to prevent use of the relief funds m politics— and those amendments were defeat ed in the senate. They took those votes in the very midst of tirades about mixing relief and politics and attempts of the administration to lick unfriendly Democratic senators and representatives in the party pri maries. Indeed, it seems to me that they actually voted the Presi dent powers with which to force New*Deal opponents mto line on hisprograms. r:--• As a result of all'of the flow of money authorized m the Seventy- _ fifth congress, itEnorm out -seems a fair guess Deficit to say that the na tional debt by the end of June, next year, will approximate $47,000,000,000. That will represent an increase in the nation al debt of 27 billions in six years. It is an increase in the debt that exceeds the World war debt itself. The deficit for the year which has just ended was disastrously large for a year in which there had been earlier announcements' by Mr- Roosevelt and others that the budget would bo balanced. In view of the appropriations made in the last ses sion. I think that a $5,000,000,000 deficit in the fiscal year that ends June 30. 1939. is a fair prediction. Nor is the end in sight. Have ou noted how little talk there was the waning days of the last ses sion of congress about any .plan-to balance the budget? Folks, congress never gave it a thought! It was intent upon getting money voted be cause-business. conditions were bad and there were too many votes that L0 could be had for a little relief job or a Uttle relief chcctoThats some thing which congress can t very well deny, even though the members hide behind the President s ample frame by saying that. Mr. Roosevelt asked for the money. With respect to the nation s finan cial condition, it seems to me it is high time to be worried. Congress and the administration ought to be worried until there are deep creases in their collective brow. And. there are some who are worried, men like Sen. Carter Glass, the Virguua Democrat, who knows something about finances since he was once secretary.of the treasury. Senator Glass appears to fear a collapse is approaching.• • • As an indication of how far mto the depths the nation has fallen , financially, atten- Jo b t and tion may be di- Pontions rected at several minor circum stances which taken singly mean lit tle but which taken collectively bulk large. The Sevenfyrfifth congress added something like 5.300 new names to the pension rolls. While these names were being added through passage of pension bills: In a steady stream, new bureaus and the consequent bundle of new jobs were being created by congress at the request of the President, or sometimes just becase a senator or a representative had the idea. Those jobs, of course, carry salary checks. They are jobs scattered throughout the country m many in stances—field offices, they are designated. It goes-without saying that each office had to be fully staffed, and so there were clerks hired here and there. Most of- the new jobs were not placed under civil service by the laws which congress enacted, and so they constituted pohtical plums to be picked when most need ed in a campaign year. And no review of the Seventy- fifth congress ought to omit an item that seldom has been noted in the history of earlier congresses. The representatives and senators met so many times and talked so much when in session that a month ago they hadTto increase the appropria tion for publishing the Congressional Record, the official "newspaper" of proceedings in congress. The ap propriation—a mere drop of water m the vast sea of expenditures, be ing only $400.000—was necessary, the government printing office re ported because the last session of the Seventy-fifth congress used up about 10.000 more pages than had been .estimated as needed for the session. One really is not being facetious or humorous at all In saying that $400,000 really has "gone with the wind." So. we have seen a congress, in which the President in his 1936 election achieved a stupendous major- ity..lookto that President'for' guid ance m a most subservient fashion. We have- watched it seek his inner most thoughts and strive to execute his ideas. None thought. I believe that there was ever a possibility of a revolt. Yet. it did revolt. It fought back and won on a number of occasions." only to turn again to him in the final '•hours when an election is m the offing and where scores of members believed that only the President's personal popularity would carry them through. Umque is hardly the word to describe the Seventy-fifth. Personally I think the "Sevenfy-fifth' probably passed out of existence with a record that is not equalled for slime. cowardice and petty politics. And. thus, the members go * into their biennial dance to attract votes They have started their circuses al ready m many contested areas: some primary battles already are behind us. and others he only a few short weeks ahead. Pohticalrfences are awaiting new posts and new promises have, to be made.

Nationally K iow n Food Authority Explains How to Include H iis THtcd Food Element in the Daily Diet By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS S East 38th Street. Hew York Cltr- A FEW years ago there was an earthquake in the Far West. When the tremors were over, the frightened peo ple looked in dismay upon the damage that had been done. In some places they were saddened by the loss of a great number of their buildings, and in.one community, mingled with their sorrow — almost ^ crowding it out of their emo tions—was indignant ANGER. For they observed that their schools had suffered greater damage than any other group of buildings m the city. On every side, the cry of indig nation arose. It was all too plain that poor materials had gone into the construction' of those schools which were supposed to house children in security. The most vehe ment cries went up from the mothers, not only in that community, but all over the country.That is natural, for all mothers believe the£ have the children s welfare at heart. Unwittingly, however, they may be doing them irreparable harm by failing to feed them the foods that will construct sound bodies, able to withstand the stress and strain of life. CdldumStarvaIion The mineral calcium is to the human body what steel and stone are to a building. It is necessary to construct the bony framework. The mother who fails to consume adequate calcium before her baby is born, or fails to give the child adequate calcium throughout the growing years, is as guilty as the contractor who constructs a school building of poor materials. Without sufficient calcium, the bones become soft , and porous. They break easily and knit slowly alter they are broken. They may bend and twist during growth, so that the child who is a victim of calcium deficiency may become bow-legged and deformed, with a malformed chest or enlarged fore head. Rickets—that horrible deficiency -disease which causes stunted mis-shapen bodies—may develop. And so may tetany—an other scourge of childhood. The teeth, too. depend upon cal cium for the soundness. of their structure. When this precious mineral is inadequately provided, the baby teeth may .soon decay: the ~ permanent teeth may come in crowded and unsightly—and quickly develop cavities.There are also many other ways that calcium deficiency may handicap your children. For this min eral is intimately concerned with all the body processes. It in creases the strength and pulsa tions of the heart: helps the blood to coagulate in case of . injury, thus effectively aiding in prevent ing hemorrhage. It strengthens the resistance of the body in fever and other diseases. It tones up the nervous system, lessening nervous tension. Adiihs Require GcddumAdults have a vital need for cal cium. A lack of this mineral not only results in defective teeth, but may also be responsible for nerv ousness. quivering and twitching of the muscles and defective heart action. To be normal, the full-grown human body must contain more cal cium than any other mineral element. Yet. every individual is. of necessity, bom calcium-poor. For if the bones were as. rigid as they must eventually become, the or deal of birth would be too difficult for both mother and child. Easily Lost From BodyThe homemakers task of pro viding adequate calcium is com plicated by the fact that the body loses large amounts of calcium every day. an dtbis loss is greater during sickness, especially m fe ver or when one is worried.-over- worked or has taken too strenu ous exercise.OutstancUng nutritionists' unani mously agree that the American diet is more deficient in calcium than in .any other element. And it is squarely up to the mothers and homemakers to correct this tragic state of affairs, which is undermining their own efficiency W H A T i o E A T a n d W H Y & - I f o u d t o n ( f o u d U i .

I urge'every woman to write for this list and . use it m planning the daily diet of herself, her husband and children.You really need such a list in order to avoid the grave consequences of calcium deficiency, for so many of our common foods are calcium poor that it is possible for a diet to be abundant and varied, and still be inadequate m respect to calcium.The list of calcium-containing foods will help you do a perfect' job of building strong, fine bodies for your children.There is no joy like the joy of creating perfect, healthy children.

P. Ayres expressed gloom today about; ,busi ness prospects. “The decline in the volume of in dustrial production since last Aug ust is already the most severe that we have ever'experienced within 1Uie space of tinfe that this one has:-been under way,’” the economist said.! “It will probably prove to be the longest one without a . reversal that we have ever had. “Slow persistent decline has con tinued to be the chief■ characteristic of general business- activity during the second quarter of this year, as it was in the first quarter’’ he wrote in the Cleveland TruBt Company’s monthly business review.: llDurinH the four IaBt /months of 1937 business activity dropped witn almost unprecedented rapidity, -and by the beginning of this year it had reached a kind of depression floor. “That floor has proved during the first six months of tb<s yean not to be a level one, but rather a down ward tilting one. So far there have been no convincing indications that it is even leveling out.” .- Goverameot And Prices.

Roland Beasley Says: Mr. Roosevelt and no other man that God ever, made, is wise en ough to be always right. And even if he were, he would have only the right to convert, not force, acquies ence among freemen. It is a doc. trine of disaster. If pursued it can in the long run make of our elec tions nothing more tban a “Ja” or “Netn” vote such as we are now ridiculing in Other patts of the world. The people themselves must make up.and define, the issues if democracy is to survive. Jn our eagerness to get “ practical things” done we can’t afford to make of public opinion only a-' sounding board for the master’s voice.— Plows Up Valuable Treasure. Dallas Jordan, a negro living near Washington, Beaufort county, plow ed up three bars of gold on his farm estimated to be worth $2,000. He carried the gold to Washington, D. C., to have it converted into cash. It is estimated ’the gold was worth $2,000. A simiiar bar of gold was found by a negro woman on an ad joining farm a few years ago.; .

SYNOPSIS The congregation ot the Old White Church In Locust Hlil turns out In full force to look over the new preacher; Dr. Jonathan Far- well, and there is much speculation among the communicants as to what sort of man he will be. Cassius Brady, treasurer of the church, had recommended Dr. FarweU for the post after hearing his baccalaureate sermon at the graduation of Dale Farwell, his son, who Is a geologist. Brady's daughter Lenora interests Dale, who lives alone with his father. Dr. FarweU meets the members O f his congregation personally, accepts their tributes, but refuses to. be impressed by the banker's family, the-Marblestones, whose daughter Evelyn obviously sets her cap for Dale. MeanwhUe the women of the town are curious about the mystery of the Farwells' womanless housekeeping. CHAPTER H—Continned It remained for Abbie Brown to try to seek information on this score. With her characteristic energy, she marched briskly up to the front door of the parsonage bearing a pan covered with a white cloth. No sooner had she rung the bell than she chided herself with a want of foresight in not presenting herself at the kitchen entrance. Still, that might have looked rather "fun ny,”, was. her consoling thought as she heard approaching steps in the hall.Jonathan Farwell answered the summons. “Oh, good morning, Doctorl I’ve brought you something.” “Please come in, Miss Brown.” “I guess you’ll think I’ve got a nerve,” was Abbie's bright comment-when the doctor relieved her of the. proffered pan and ushered her into the parlor. “It’s something I know every man loves, and I’m sure you don’t make them yourself! This is the coziest room!” Miss Abbie’s glance traveled swiftly and hopefully about the par lor as the minister deposited the pan on the center table. “Fancy, Doctor! I’m such a rat tletrap when I get going. I never once thought to tell you what I brought. Doughnuts!” “How thoughtful.” “Yes. Mother was baking this morning.. She’s really quite famous here - in town for her doughnuts. They’re not greasy like so many. And I said: Tm going to take some over to Doctor Farwell and his son. I know they’ll adore them.’ She was shocked. Butmy brotherTom used to love doughnuts. When he was living at home with us, before he was married, that is, he was forever . . .” “Please thank Mrs. Brown for the two of us. They look delicious.” It was about this same time that Albert Hickman, Locust Hill’s popular milk dealer, was mystified at the sudden interest along his route in the daily deliveries of his product at the.parsonage. It developedthat Mt. Hickman was in the habit of leaving two quarts of “Grade A” at the Farwells’, but always deposited the bottles on a table within the kitchen porch. He reminded persistent inquirers that his arrival was timed with the dawn, or there? abouts. Hence the table arrangement. So there was little help from that quarter. If the town’s housewives ever permitted their imaginations to tour the second floor of the parsonage, moat of them were too modest to give voice to such speculation. As a matter of fact,, they, would have., foundthis portion of the dwelling more revealing than they hoped. Doctor Farwell had selected the large “spare room” for his own use.A . broad table, with books and papers scattered untidily about the base of a green-shaded lamp, stood in front of the tower windows. One entire wall was given over to ranks of crowded bookshelves. A double .bed and dresser had places in the background, but the general atmosphere'was that of a workroom. Its appearance suggested that sleep was a matter of secondary importance to the occupant. A bath, used jointly, separated the minister’s quarters from his son’s. Dale’s room was sparsely fur nished, severe as the cell of a monk, with , painted floor and curtainless windows. A narrow iron bed in one comer, maple chiffonier and wood- bottomed chair accounted for the major comforts. A table with neat piles of textbooks and writing ma terials. A possible explanation for so Spartan a simplicity was a punching bag affixed to a side wall. Under the apparatus a pair of In dian chibs stood at soldierly attention. Two pairs of boxing gloves were suspended'on a hook. There was but a single effort-at adornment.Within a niche formed by the chimneywas ashelf. Over it a framed^photograph, the full-length portrait’ of a young woman. There ,was wistful beauty in the girlish face. The wide appealing eyes were so like pale’s ownthat even a casual inspection would" have identified the picture ds an early one of Mrs. Farwell.-The .trailing gown with its high. collar and long . sleeves be longed to a past mode.

ELAINE An . old-fashioned brass candle stick stood at either end of the shell The arrangement suggested a shrine. CHAPTER III “You get all the mail today,” Dale announced, coming into the kitchen where Doctor Farwell sat at the table pouring himself a cup of coffee. “It looks interesting.” As he spoke, he laid a heavy white envelope near his father’s hand. It was addressed in a woman’s hand writing, fashionably angular and bold. The minister tore the letter open, glanced through the contents with each time by Marblestone’s dislike of losing an auditor. ' He did dis cover, however, that Lenora had taken her-mother on a brief -motor trip that'included a stay’with rela tives. They would be coming home shortly. At the conclusion of the meal, Marblestone suggested-an adjourn ment to his library on the second floor. Dale was never to know whether the banker-considered him mature enough to be included in the manly session, for Evelyn had plans of her own. “Come on, Dale. Out in the sun room,” she suggested,^slipping her hand within his arm..“May I offer you one of these?” Cagsius inquired of the minister as they followed their host into a room with a beamed ceiling and a huge fireplace* at one end. The walls were lined with books. Brady had taken several cigars from his pock- “Very simple, an expressionless face, then held i(] out to his son. Dear.

Henry Marblestone’s genial pansiveness was in full flower al he waited for his chief guest to rq ceive a subdued chorus- of acc after the morning service. And witl reason. The ushers had bee obliged to flllthe aisles with chair and the banker appropriated a | share of the credit. “We’ve another guest today—a] friend of yours,” he remarked to] Doctor Farwell as the two men,] followed, by Dale, walked to the! church' door.* “Cash Brady. You| met him out West.” “Surely. I did not know that he| was in toe city.” . “Back yesterday. Another wid| ower,” - the banker suggested wit! his usual freedom. “His wife’s poor health. Off on a little trip with] the girl. Great fellow, Cash. Best] prosecutor weive ever had. Keen] as they come, close-mouthed as a] clam. He’s about the only man in] Locust Hill I ever- tell my busi-| ness to.” Brady was standing by the Mar-] blestone limousine listening to hisl hostess and her daughter when the] others came up.. 'He stepped for-f ward at orfce to greet the Farwell and bid them a delayed welcome I the church and community. The came Dale’s turn to be introduce! to the occupants of the car. When Marblestcme stowed guests to his daughter’s satisfa tion, he took his own place besil the chauffeur and conversfl steadily and loudly over one der.

There 'are' ’social" affairs, for in stance. It takes a woman, after all . . .” Brady flashed ; a quick glance at the banker. There was the suggestion of a warning in the gray, eyes behind their shining lenses.' Why the devil couldn’t Henry see that he was broaching an untimely topic? But Marblestone was speaking again. “Well, it’s always seemed to me that a man in your position would find' himself rather on a spot, as the saying goes. Under pretty dose watch and—well, fair game for a lot of unattached females.” He chuckled at his expression of the idea, as he leaned forward and de posited his cigar ash in a heavy bronze tray that rested on a corner of the library table. “I am afraid I am not in a posi tion to say, .from experience;” was the deliberate answer. “Then I can tell you one thing. Doctor," Marblestone resumed good-humoredly. “You have the good women- here guessing in one respect. It worries them to have- you and your boy keeping bache lors’ hall. That’s a new one on them.” Brady had been\ studying the glowing end of his cigar abstracted ly.“Your advice strikes me as being sound, Henry,” he observed quietly.“My advice?

Lesson for July 10 CALEB: UFE-TIME DEVOTION LESSON- TEXT—Joshua 14:6*15.GOLDEN TEXT—Let us go up at ones, and possess it; for we are well alue to over, come it.—Numbers 13:30.. PBISIARy IOPIC-Brave Caleb.- :JUNIOR TOPIC-Caleb the Brave. _INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR. TOPIC— A Hero’s'Reward.VOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Courage for Difficult Tasks. "We need to know more about good men - who are occasionally great, andiess about great men who are occasionally good,” says the Lesson Commentary, in pointing out that Caleb is one of the characters about whom the Bible does not say much, but in every case the word is. one revealing high and noble char acter. Consider such passages as Numbers 13:6, 30; 14:7-9, 24, 30; 26: 65, as well as our lesson for today. The background for our study of today, and in fact an integral part of the lesson itself, is the story - of Caleb’s courageous stand with Joshua when the spies returned from their visit to Canaan, which is related in Numbers 13. He was then a comparatively young man, but demonstrated by his every word and deed that he had from, his youth learned to know' and obey God. Note first of all Caleb’s L Perfect .Obedience, (vv.. 6-8).“I wholly followed the Lord my God.” Such a testimony from a man like Caleb is no idle boast, no effort to parade his faith and piety before others. In saying it he was repeating what God and Moses had both said about him. In his heart he knew it to be true. It is God’s will for each of His children that they should come to such a' place of simple trust and complete obedience that in every circumstance of life they need know only one thing—God’s trill, and then in faith to go and do it. - It is a life beautiful in its transparent simplicity and powerful in the strength of God Himself. n. PromisM Inheritance (v. 9).“Surely the'land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance.” Such , was the promise , of God through Moses. Forty-five long years had- elapsed, but down through this period of wilderness wanderings, mid the. conflict in sub- duingCanaari theprormsehad lived in- Caleb’s heart. He knew it would be fulfilled, and he waited serenely for God’s time. Siich also are the promises of God which keep the heart singing in our hours of trial and sorrow, which light up the dark ways, which strengthenthe heart of HiS children. Leam God’s promises, cherish them in your heart, expect God to fulfill them. , III. Preserved Strength (w. 10, 11). "The Lord hath kept me alive . . . and I am . ;. . strong.” Here was a man kept of God, in foil vigor in his eighty-fifth year, “like a rock in a changeful sea, like a snowcapped"' peakin a change of cloud and storm and sun” (Meyer). No doubt there was what our fore fathers liked to call “the longevity of the antedeliivians,” but even apart from that let us recognize that life and strength, come from God, and that those who walk-with God in holy living may count on Him for the renewed, strength of Psalm 103:5. An incidental, but extremely important, lesson, we should learn is that God has no age deadline. The church . has frequently sinned against Him'and against His faith- ful servants by r“shelving them” for younger men,-when they would' have brought blessing to themselves and to the church - by encouraging and using them. The writer of these lines is: a young man, but he would speak here a word of loving admonition regarding his honored brethren who have gone on before to bear the. brunt of the battle. IV. Powerful Assurance' (w. 12- 15). “If. . . the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able.” Caleb asked for no easy task, s He whs ready to go up against the giants of Hebron. Read Deuteronomy 3:11, and you will find that there were men in those days who needed thirteeit-foot beds. But Caleb was not afraid. He counted not on his own strength, .but on the power of God. It is sig nificant . that while the other sec- tions of Canaan were only par tially conquered Caleb brought his formidable adversaries entirely un der control, so that ‘-‘the land had: rest from war” (v.15). The spiritual application to our day is evident and appropriate. There are giants in the land in this year of our Lord 1938. Corruption- —social and political—raises its brazen head. Drunkenness and. vice leer at us with the impudent suggestion that we cannot' control them. There are giants “within us —greed, selfishness, love of ease, lust, passion, cruelty” (Blaikie). Are we to do nothing about them? If we are to meet them in-the strength of the flesh we might almost as well do nothmg. But in the power of God, we are like. Caleb—able.- In- His name we may take' up a slogan of today, “Let’s do some- thing about ltl” and really do it, for His glory. ■ ' Q h ciir o r B u ffet S e t " -Ih F ile t ■ C r o c h e t 3 ...

I know there are many modest wromen—thank God for them—but carrying styles to the extreme has become damnable to the human race. This is a very touchy subject, for a man to write on, hut it is near- my heart. To match the trend of the young women of today is shocking to any clean thinking person. How any modest women can have the nerve to come out .,with such ap parel assome do is too much. There are some men that admire the young lady who is quiet and re fined, helpful and kind-barted; who shows respect and thoughtfulness to others and tnrns her back on coarse boisterous words or actions. If young women could realize that the weal or woe of this world de pends on their deportment in public and private they surely would be come pure, dear, honest, upright, temperate, kind-harted and merci ful. The placing of the destiny of the human race in the hands of woman was no mistake. She can be the1 best or worst thing in the world. No man can do as much evil as a vulgar woman. Too many men pick for beauty.. Anda majority of womeu pick men of position and fame. Dear girl, take care of the moral law, and the civil law will take care of itself. Let your ambition be to make the world better. The young men are watching your every word and action. ■ Your conduct a< tracts them more than “costly array.” The words you speak sink deep into the hearts .of young men to poison or Uplift. Show-me the young men of a com munity and I know what the young women are.' No matter how low a man sinks he admires the clean, you wish to and despises the 1 ‘fast girl. ’ ’ Don’t associate with vulgar people unless you wish to be coni animated It is painful to see the pitfalls so plainly that await the thoughtless youth. Learn to be modest and quiet, to be dean in person, in char acter and in your conversations everywhere. DonVyelMike a wild person over anything no matter bow enthusiastic.you may be. Be wise, prudent - and’' discrete — thereby, wield a power for good.

Paul Leonard, secretary of the tax association, vstarted a little store in Winston-Salem' fpr -the an nounced purpose . of ascertaining through a clear-cut case, whether or not the sales levy will stand up in court. In view of the fact-that men from twenty-two counties participated in the meeting at which it was de cided that Secretaiy Leonard should set the stage for'a fair, legal test of the sales tax, it is strange the “ Under the Dome’’ column of the Raleigh News and. Observer should insinuate that the move is an attempt of Mr. Leonard to make a martyr of himself. ?:- Furthermore, the comment is made that the state administration will experience little trouble “kicking small - obstacles like Paul Leonard out of its path without uproar or unheaval,” Those who consider that suit merely an individual effort of Mr. Leonard are very much mistaken. The Fair Tax Association which Mr. Leonard represents has been a going organization for several years and there is hardly a community in North Carolina which does not number some very substanial citi- ens on the membership roster. The association and. Mr. Leo nard are within their rights when they venture to test the conslin- tionahtyof the sales tax or any other law. The action by-which it is hoped that a clear-cut,case may be brought to a showdown, was announced'in advance in order that it might; be open and above board. Even the North Carolina Depart ment of Revenue ought to wel- come-the opportunity :-to/ findout what the highest..triaunal of the state has to say about the validity of a law which was enacted with the promise of the admivistration that it was a nemergency measure. The then Governor' shed crocodile tears on more than one"public oc casion and admitted freely that the levy was.not right in principle but was the; only , way at that time of saving the financial credit of the state. If the Iatv is constitutional, those who favor it will have one of the que&tions of dispute out-of the way once and tor all. Those of us who have doubted its validity have long wanted a showdown. Government Spending. The government overspends at the rate of 75 to 85 milliondollars a month. The government takes more Uun that amount of dollars out of the people in taxes. Editor Is Mistaken.

So there ought to be establish-; ed a bureau of readers' with a.large appropriation to pay a large num ber of people to do the reading.

Oberammergau Gives to the World Drama of Christianity Every Decade cows into the fields and hills, and not returning until 6 at night.That is the rush hour for the cows, and traffic has to comply with their whims as they slowly trot homeward, never minding the honking of automobiles : that might get into their path. The Play Is Their Life Mission.Just as the ability to act seems to be in the blood of the majority, the people of Oberammergau hold a deeply inbred feeling of personal re sponsibility toward their important task, their sacred tradition. They live and die for their play. They do not play to live, but live to play— which may at times appear incom prehensible to the hurried traveler, rushing in and out again without ever penetrating more deeply into the meaning of the villagers’ work, habits, and customs. AU amusements, such as dancing, are prohibited duting the solid year of preparation for,' and concentration upon, the Passion Play. Yet the village, during its six months of rehearsing under Georg Lang’s most able direction, (there are more than 30 families of the name of Lang in Oberammergau), dons festive attire. Houses look more at tractive. Gardens, streets, walks, and parks hum with activity.The year 1940 wiU display about the same course of things, but there win be more buses and auto mobiles from May until September. Once again, for a period of five months, the village wUl be handed over, willy-nilly, to the countless vis itors, their prejudices and criticisms, their whims, their admiration and praise of what is but nat ural to those laboring in the homes and playing on the stage of the mammoth theater before 6,200 spectators, occasionally as often as five times a week. ‘ How the Play Is Presented. From 8:15 a. m. to 5:25 p. m., with two hours’ recess for lunch, the thou sands watch the performance with tense interest from beginning to end, never turning their eyes, which are often dimmed with tears, froin'the recently bruit and modernized central stage. In front of it, flanked by the house of Pilate and the palace of Annas, opens the proscenium, 140 feet wide, on which—rain or sunshine— the mass scenes take place and the 47 members of the chorus—aU local talent—appear, led in. and out by the majestic figure of the Speaker of the. Prologue, whose task is to in troduce each act of a tableau.: He has more lines than any other member of the cast. There are 24 of these artistically set and lavishly mounted'' pictures, irregularly scattered among the 16 acts and representing scenes from the Old Testament, running parallel with the Hew. The very beginning of the per formance, announced by the boom of a cannon discharged on a dis tant hiff, plunges the audience into deep silence, and absorption. Or chestra, choir, prologue, and tableaux heighten this mood; then the curtains-ipart. Impressive Climu of-the Drama. Now Christ triumphantly enters Jerusalem. The jealous priests begin their work against Him, while Christ bids farewell to His Mother and friends at Bethany before returning to the city of His' doom, There the last Supper unites Hiifa and His twelve disciples once more. Judas hastens away to betray His Master in - the Mount of Olives. Christ is seized. - The. afternoon ’seesHim betoreihe high council, slandered,' mocked, and jeered, and' eventually sent to Pontius Pilate, who' passes Hhn ob to King Herod. Peter repente his sin of denial, whereas Judas finds no way out but the rope. Ouist is scourged and crowned' with' thorns,' and presented , to a raging mob in a scene of highest dramatic' values. Pilate -finally hands Him ,'.over, to His enemies, and, with the Cross on His bleeding shoulders, Christ staggers up' to Golgotha to ^be fastened to'- the Cross,; to die, pierced by a spear in realistic manner. j ; We see Hiin rise again from the tomb, and, in the finest of all tab leaux, ascend to Heaven. .

CHANGE which empha sizes unchanging tradi- tion has taken place in Oberammergau, Germany, the small Bavarian town where ev ery decade a performance of the Passion Play attracts thou sands of visitors. The change came through the death of An ton Lang, for thirty years the former Christus of the Passion Play. Death, however, changes the players but does not stop the presentation of the Passion Play, which for centuries has been performed to fulfill a vow of the villagers in the Seven teenth century.Until about 150 years ago the sight of the towering mountains filled the people of Oberammergau with awe; in fact, fear; and they were looked upon more as drawbacks than as objects of beauty and inspiration.The custom of offsetting the de pressing effect of the looming rocky • background by vivid color, still pre-' vails, and besides old but ever fresh fresco paintings depicting scenes from the, Bible on the walls of the houses; new ones are beginning to decorate' several homes. These show a; more modem trend, and general ly are done by young Bavarian artists. They lend vivid color to a street scene already bright with houses painted yellow, pink, green, and blue. Hardly a house lacks a balcony, and this, like all the windowsills, is lined with a profusion of flowers. Green shutters and painted frames around the windows put a special stress on the “eyes” of most homes. Usually near the door, in large letters, is exhibited the name and occupation of the owner, who might well appear to be the proprietor of the entire valley as he complacently walks through the streets and fields, hills and mountains. Bom here, he feels himself part of all this. In the Home and Fields. The inside of his birthplace breathes the same spirit. The cen ter is not the kitchen whence the healthful, frugal meals come, but the living room with a carved wooden crucifix solemnly hanging in one comer. There is the cradle of family life. There the men and women and children assemble when they come home from field or shop.The. .fields yield just enough grass for the cattle and potatoes for the people, though most of the villagers have their own little gardens. Farmhouse and stable are usually in one building. This saves the peasant many a step in bad weather and keeps him always near his be loved cows, which in turn help supply warmth in the long, cold winter. The arrival of the White King is hailed by everybody, for the thick blanket he always spreads over the mountains and the valley does not mean being buried for four or five 'months,Obefdmmergau lies in about the same latitude as Montreal, and masses of snow cover the moun tains, at tunes to a depth of 30 feet.

Jheywould make him a member of the Academy. They have just fulfilled the latter prom ise, and M. Maurras becomes an immortal by a-majority of one vote.He had spent 250 r®ys in jail on a charge of having urged the assassination of 140 members of the chamber of deputies who had voted for sanctions, against Italy; also on a charge of'incifing the French people to “sharpen up their kitchen knives” for use against certain proscribed politicians. In the 250 days he had written five books, swelling his vast collection of books on biography, politics, economics, literary criticism, histo ry and what not to probably well over 100. I talked to him once in the Cafe des Lilas, a fragile, deaf, bearded old man with a contentious, blazing mind which makes one think of a sizzling battery running an au tomobile without any engine.

Three members of the chamber of deputies were kidnaped and fed castor oil—Mussolini is said to have got his broad prospectus of Fascism from Maurras—and the bald head of one of them was painted with violet ink and glue. In 1925, M. Maurras was sen tenced to two years in prison, the charge being that he had threat ened to kill the minister of the in terior. Among the causes of his incarceration in October, 1936, was conspiracy evidence in the assault on Premier Leon- Blum, in which he was severely beaten, while attending the funeral of a friend. His books and virulent editorials against democracy in the Royalist, paper, translated into many lan guages, are the fount of Fascist doctrine all over the world. His hatred of democracy is savage and vitriolic. He is witty, learned, bril liant and he has the most excoriating and corrosive vocabulary in France.• • * A FOOTNOTE to the main text of toe world discussion on Japan bombing babies is the interchange between Avery Brundage, chairman of the American Olympic committee, and William J.

The two incidents to which I refer are the federal grand jury indictment at South Bend, Ind., of a number of automo bile manufacturing executives and the action of congress in adoption of a resolution providing" for a broad-gauge inquiry into big business. The two, when pieced together, spell a sensational drive against the “malefactors of great wealth/'The result? Well, let’s examine the. scheme, the pattern and the' prospects. There was a period in 1936, it Will be recalled, when business in terests felt that President Roosevelt was preparing to follow a middle- of-the-road policy as far as government relations with business was concerned. During that period, there was a considerable improvement in general business. In that interim of time, as far as any observers could reach a conclusion, the Presi dent' was relying on advice from many men in Whom business had confidence. -But there came a sud den end. Out of the clear sky, Mr. Roosevelt proposed reorganization of the Supreme court of the United States and the addition of six justices whom he could appoint at once. Through weeks of battle when it became apparent that one guess was as good as another wheth er the President would win, business men and women again became afraid. That was when the. present depression began. It was also the time when Mr. Roosevelt turned away from his previous close ad visers and began listening to the new ,brain trust which has come to be known as the “board of strategy.”As the depression became sharp er and the numbers of unemployed increased with startling rapidity, the board of strategy sought means to offset the condition. The group also had to find a goat—which is always done when plans go awry. There followed then the vicious and intemperate attacks on “big business” by the trust-busting Robert H. Jackson, then favored at the White House as the next Democratic candidate for the New York governorship. Secretary Ickes also let loose his vocabulary and none can. deny the interior secretary’s capac ity for speaking biting words. For weeks and weeks, we were treated to a barrage of words in which “big business” was pictured as beyond the pale of good citizenry and ought to be destroyed. The trust-busting drive was not as successful in gaining public ac claim as had been hoped for. The truth is that it faffed to get the country excited at all and the profit to the trust busters did not materi alize, as had been the case when 'Teddy” Roosevelt was swinging a big stick of demagoguery in the same field of political endeavor; Indeed, this drive flopped at the start whereas -the drive by the earlier Roosevelt was good politics for several years. ' It was here, according to the best information available, that the tactics changed. The change in meth ods is the real reason for the story; Thus,-it can be said that -the -trust- busting drive is still going on as strong, as ever but' it is going on in several fields without any apparent connection because the board-,,of strategy has lost none of its-determination to convince the nation that it is being ruined by -those same malefactors of great wealth toward which Teddy, Roosevelt waved his fist and bared his teeth.• * * Now, to put the pieces of the picture together. The first section com prises the indict- How the "m ent of . the autc- PictareLookt mobile moguls, Ed;sel Ford.Walter Pi Chrysler, Alfred P. Sloan-and Wil liam Knudsen, among some sixty- odd officials of Ford, Chrysler and General Motors and the companies affiliated with them in the financing of motor cars, bought on the install ment plan. They are charged with violation of the antitrust laws, although how-anybody can believe the Ford mterests ever could-or'would play- ball,with the other- two, I have been unable to see. Anyway, big news stones were carried by the press services from'SouthBend, and the department of justice here had much “background" information which officials were delighted to hand to any inquiring reporter. They ,did this m order to co-operate with the press inasmuch as -the story was so sensational and so .vast in scope , that none of us wnters here could possibly be permitted to miss any phase of it. The other phase of the continuing- drive against “big business” takes the .form of a great inquiry, thinly disguised as a general study of busi- is practices. It is a somewhat unusual type' of investigation and is to be managed^ in a very unusual manner.' The committee/that will do the job is made-up of three-sena tors and three representatives, and a representative from each of a number of executive departments and commissions. And toe impor tant fact in addition is toai toe $500,000 which toe investigation will cost will be expended under the di rection of President Roosevelt.To bring it own to simple terms, when congress adopted toe resolu tion for the inquiry, toe board of strategy was able to turn on enough political steam to force adoption of an amendment placing toe funds un der the direction of the President, rather than under control of congress, as usually is done when con gress . participates in an. investigation. That action means that ihves- tigators for toe committee will be able to rely upon laws covering in quiries and searches made by the department of justice, 'the. federal trade commission, the securities and exchange commission and toe national labor . relations board, among others. The combined pow ers will.be all-comprehensive.To explain further the full mean ing of these broad powers, it is necessary to cite constitutional provi sions prohibiting illegal search and seizure. The investigators for the committee must be able to dig deep into private records of any bank or corporation or individual if they are to accomplish fully the desire of the board of strategy for complete exposure of all toe secrets of busi ness. When they get all of those records, of course they can analyze them and place their own construc tion on toe business practices. That is today,'by inference and innuendo, hint or open charge, toe investiga tors can smear anything or anybody—and . the newspapers wffl spread toe information. It being an official investigation, it will be followed closely by the press and, as usual, there will be'little chance for the individuals to reply. When they are marked to be smeared, they will be smeared, whether justly or unjustly. It is a deplorable thing that our government stoops to that sort of thing but if has done so in a .number of instances.• • • Now, as- to toe main objectives. Every indication is that the guiding hands in the pro- Htt Morgan jected investiga- And'DuPont tian are determined . to destroy two great masses of capital. I mean, they intend to break up toe combination of men and money in two -instances. The banking house of J. P. Morgan and company, and the huge industrial setup of toe DuPonts are marked. Whether-they like it or not, those two groups are to be made the goats of toe depres sion of 1937-38, and those on the inside recognize that it is a fisht to the finish. There will be other corporations, ' other individuals whose business lives' will be laid bare, but the'Morgans and toe Du- Ponts are toe real targets,. The board of strategy believes toe Morgan bank- and toe DuPont interests are cbiefly responsible for toe refuse al of business to yield on many of toe crackpot ideas of the professors, and so it is inevitable those'two groups will be cast as toe villains; There arises, next, toe question whether such an investigation and such a prosecution as has been starts ed at South-Bend will.do the country any. good. One ought not prejudge; It may be that toe motoir magnates and theircorporationsare guilty as pups. It may be that the Morgans and the DuPonts and scores of others among' families with great fortunes have set about to wreck the New Deal. But the question in my mind is: why has it not been discovered before? It seems to me that if there was so much corrupt tion, so much improper, influence be^ ing exercised and such illegal use of moneyed power as is represent ed: by toosd who’ were pushing , toe investigation, it should have been several years ago. Mr. Roosevelt has been in office five years and it appears strange that there was no effort to uncover-these demons until toe business of the country as a whole lost.confidence;in the-polit cies of the national- administration;These developments have come along as the depression grew worse; They reach their climax of preparation -at a time when; another federal agency, toehoarddfgovernors of toe federal reserve system, says that toe industrial depression in toe Umted Stetes now is the worst in toe world.

The new sheers are simply enchanting and they are the sought-for kind to make up into gowns for picturesque garden party wear or for dancing under star-spangled skies or when dining at fashionable roof-garden gatherings where beauty and ro mance keep rendezvous. Gowns designed to grace summertime scenes are fashioned of wispy chiffons either printed or monotone, or of organdies crisp, sheer and intriguing, or of dainty silk marqui sette which is an especial favorite. Then there are the soft fine cotton voiles in pretty colors and as for lace every summer wardrobe is ex pected to include at least one party frock made of it. Iks a matter of fact lace is playing a stellar role this summer. The lace that cap tures the heart of enthusiasts is a delicate-as-cobweb type the pattem- ings of which is a mere tracery. Gowns of this fetching lace have all-around pleated skirts, since it yields beautifully to this treatment. To dine and dance in ingenue frocks of simple cottons made up formally is considered quite the swank tiling to do. The thrilling note in regard to this season’s organdies is that so many new types have been added to the listrThe crinkled' organdies either plain or printed sell at sight. They make up charmingly, and are easily- tubbed, require little or no pressing to keep them crisp and sprightly as new. For week-end trips they are ideal as they do not crush in pack ing. You will be delighted with the new lace-printed Swiss chiffon organdies. The entrancing frock cen tered with outspread skirt in the foreground gives an idea of how ef fectively the lace-stripe organdie makes up. The charming and picturesque Winterhalter vogue is refected* in the styling of this very tiny-waisted and full-skirted dinner- and-dancing gown (a winsome garden party frock, too) in one of tile fashionable printed Swiss chiffon organdies. A very fine lace pattern ing in white stands out clearly against a deep navy blue back ground. There is a full-cut under skirt of white organdie to make the frock stand out almost on ballet skirt lines. The diminutive bolero jacket worn over the drop-shoulder bodice is finished with little ruffles of val lace laid on over the lace print.The material that fashions the frock to the left is peach silk mousseline. It is prettily styled with vertical ruche-ruffling of self-fabric outlining the skirt gores, the puffed sleeves and there are ruffles about the neck. Hyacinth blue lace with touches of cerise lace is used for the graceful gown centered in the picture. It was introduced at the Miami fashion show and is one of those pleasing types that carry on into.new tri umphs for summer party wear. One of its charms is .that the lace indicates stripes and striped effects lead in the mode. The printed chiffon frock to the left gives a delightful interpretation of the slim silhouette for summer. The patterning is spaced, tulips in blue, red,, green and' black on a sheer white background. The gath ered bodice suggests the Directoire. Contrasting shades of green and blue silk make the girdle and sash which forms a train. Flower bracelets are worn with it and an enor mous poppy on the head instead of a hat, which goes to show the in triguing and unique-ways in which flowers now play their important role in costume' ensembling.C Western Newjpaper Union. TWISTED DRAPES ARE NEW STYLE FEATURE By CHEBIE NICHOLASDesigners are performing all sorts of interesting tricks with twist ed drapes and as time goes on the idea is taking on added interest.When you see a dress or blouse the drapes of which tie themselves into fanciful knots or twist into clever intricacies be assured that the garment is a “last word" fashion. Be on the lookout for these inter twisted, inter-coiled effects and choose your new frocks accordingly. This type of styling invites the use of color contrasts. For in stance, the bodice top. of a navy dress .may have drapes coming from the shoulder, say in the new fuchsia shade, the same coiled, twisted and perhaps knotted across the bustline with infinite grace. Or the dress may be in monotone, the artful, twisted designfulhess being the only trimming feature. White crepe Brocks, with twists done in crepes of vivid contrast or car ried out in pastel tones are top- notch fashion this summer.’ . A new feature in styling is the all-over shirred bodice with skirt of the material simply tailored. The all-over shirred jacket is likewise a fashion highlight. Chiffon and sheer marquisette yield to this treatment most charmingly.

JAMES T HE story of “The Iliad”, by Homer takes place during the Tro jan war and relates the wrath of Achilles, greatest iff warriors. It is now the ninth year of siege when Homer begins his epic and the Greeks are encamped on the shores of Asia Minor, besieging Troy. They are dejected as the poem begins, for their hero will not fight. The mighty AchiUes sulks in his tent.Agememnon, com mander of Greek forces, had demand ed a slave girl who had previously been awarded to AchUles as part of the spoils of battle. Thus un justly treated by his commander, Achil les retired to his tents with his fol lowers and refused to fight. During the days of this quarrel, conversations among the men re late previous happenings. Helen, most beautiful woman of history, was wooed by every prince of Greece. To protect the fortunate winner, aU these chieftains swore to defend Helen, should the necessity ever arise. She finaUy chose Mene- Iaus to be her husband. Sometime after this, Paris iff Troy, a handsome youth, came to visit at the palace of Menelaus. When he re turned, he took Helen back to Troy with him. Thus aU Greek chieftains were caUed upon to fulfiU their vows and go to reclaim Helen. Pretends to Be Mad. Ulysses, happily married, did not wish to go on such a quest. He pretended madness, and plowed the fields, sowing salt.When the boats were ready to saU for Troy, the winds stopped. An oracle explained that a maiden of royal birth must be sacrificed. So, Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon, was made a human propitiation to the god of winds. Nine years ,of encampment then followed with neither side gaining much advantage. MeanwhUe with in the walls of Troy, Helen’s great TRADITIONAL POET The Diad and the Odyssey were recited or performed every four years at Athens during the classical period. Homer is the tradi tional poet of these two poems; he has no existence apart from his poetry. The facts of his life are traditional or are surmised from his writings. As far back as the classical period in Greece, Homer was an ancient poet. The classical Greeks made translations , of his work, they wrote lives of Homer, they taught Ms poems and made analyses of his work. The language which he used in the' origi nal poems was ancient to the classical Greeks. * beauty had so completely captured the TYojan people that they fought madly to keep her within their ,city. Hector Challenges. Then occurred the incident of the slave girl and Achilles’ wrath. Hector, the greatest warrior Cf Troy, came forth and issued a challenge' for individual combat. But no one answered.’ AchiUes was the only man to fight this Trojan warrior, and AchUles would not fight. Then Patrodus, dear Briend of Achilles, borrowed the armor -of AchiUes -and went forth to uphold the fair name of Greece. From his tents AchUles saw his friend die. With a roar he rushed into the battle, but he had no armor, lie would recover Patrodus’ body for burial. The sound of his voice was enough; the Trojans were back inside the wall. AchiUes must have new armor. His goddess mother came and of fered to have a suit forged in the fires of Vulcan. ^ Acliilies-Figlits-Hector - Clad in his new armor, AChUles sought Hector for combat. The mighty warriors were evenly matched. Around they cirded, each seeking an opening in the other’s1 guard. Time passed, yet they fought furiously, neither gaining advantage over the other. A. goddess favoring AchiUes- flew down from Olympus and douded .the eyes of Hector, so that- AchiUes succeeded in smiting him a powerful stroke with his sword. Hector lay in the dust,-his plumes and fine clothing despoiled. A wail- went up from the tops of the walls of Troy as . AchUles fastened thongs in the heels of Hec- tor and tied him to his - chariot, then drove madly round the-walls of Troy.Late at night there came a visitor to the tents of AchiUes, it was Priam, aged king of Troy and father of Hector. Weeping, he pleaded for the body of his son, he recounted the glory of Hector and with tears of love he proved that Hector was too noble to be forced to . wander forever through the shades for Iadr of proper-burial. AchiUes heard his prayer with compassion and gave to him-the body- of his son. .

HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 East 39th Si* Kew XorR City. TO SOME families, a summons to the dinner table means nothing more than a chance to satisfy hunger. To others, it represents an opportunity to gratify the palate, some times-to Qie extent of overtaxing the digestive system. N ather of these extremes fulfills the true function of food, which is to provide adequately but not to excess,' for growth, main tenance and repair of the body.<$ . '' Food May Fail to Feed You can satisfy hunger without providingcorrect nutrition. You can partake of de- licious-tasting foods to the point of over- indulgence — without meeting bodUy requirements. The mere spend ing of money wfil not insure good nutrition, . for extremely poor diets can be found in households where the income is large and the food budget is ample. What counts is learning, to provide the right foods in the correct proportions. The return in health will be more than worth the investment of effort in acquiring this knowledge. --- —A Balanced Diet Science has discovered what foods are necessary to help buUd top health and keep us 100 per cent fit. - The amount of food re quired by a man for a day’s work can be accurately determined. We know that a specific , disease may be produced by one diet and cured by another; that growth can be influenced through changes in the quality of the dietary; that old age may be deferred by choosing the food with care. We know that the body is a working machine which never stops but may slow down or get out of order unless the daily diet includes every element, every mineral, every vitamin needed to maintain health and avoid the de ficiency diseases. SevenEssenfiaIs There are seven factors to be considered in planning a balanced diet. Protein for building body tissue and repairing the millions of cells that are worn out daily.

The-six vitamins, A, B, C, D, E and G, that also act as regulators and prevent a num ber of deficiency diseases. Water —which serves as a vehicle by which food is carried to the tissues. And cellulose or bulk—re quired for the normal functioning of the intestinal tract. Danger in OmHfing One Food Subsfance The homemaker who falls to take every one of these factors into consideration is depriving her husband of the opportunity to develop his greatest efficiency. Moreover, she may be robbing her children of their birthright. Dur ing every day iff'childhood, the body is being built, and defects in body structure are likely to arise if the child is improperly nourished. It is then that disease and disability make their appearance as a result of faulty nutrition. How tragic to deprive the young body of substances so necessary to its well being. How to Check the Dief for Balance Perhaps you are like the homemakers Who tell me that they do not know a protein from a carbohydrate. Or it may be that while you understand the difference, you do, not know what quantities should be included in the diet each day. To simplify your task of serving balanced menus at every meal, I have prepared a Homemaker’s Chart for Cheddng Nutritional Balance. In convenient chart form, it shows what foods should be included in the diet every day and gives the standard amount for each food... There are also skele ton menus outlined by food classifications, which enable you to plan balanced menus for every meal by making a choice from each group of required foods;I urge every homemaker to write for this chart and use it daily. Then you won’t make such common mistakes as serving dried legume as a vegetable at a meal in which meat is used, which tends to concentrate too much protein in one meal; or choosing a too-heavy dessert following a main course that is overly rich in carbo hydrates. , i • —60 Per Cenf .CarboKydrefet Carbohydrates should form at least 60 per-cent of the'supply of food fuel.

Among the many reasons is one that should cause tbe democratic donkey to rear back on his hind legs and let out a New Deal laugh. Listen to this: “In 1931, by an act of Ihei-General Assembly the demo crats, in executing a campaign promise, abolished outright the of fices of superintendent of welfare and county treasurer with a result ant substantial saving to taxpayers. The Republicans who have been in control since 1932 have recreated the office of superintendent of pub- Jic welfare.” Just where the writer got this information, we are at a loss to know. The Republican county commissioners were forced by tbe New Deal to create tbe office of public welfare to take care of the -old age pension funds, and if auy- . one is to be cussed for Davie’s wel fare officer, the Federal Government fend the North Carolina legislature Should get the cussing. If we are not mistaken our representative, Brewster Grant, voted, against the Social Security Bill. ' If the , bill hadn’t passed Davie wouldn’t have bad a welfare officer. A New Deal 'legislature, backed by a New Deal Congress, are responsible for this added'expense to the Davie tax payers. We . are not saying, the SocialSecurity Bill isn't wbat the ■people want, but for old Thomas Jefferson’s sake dpn’t cuss the Ke- ;publican county commissioners for ’•doing something that was : forced upon them by the set OT- New--Deal- •ers who are in control of; the coun- -try today. Tbe North'!1 Carolina - ^Legislature actually set the rate that 'the .taxpayers of -Davie county should pay to-meet this .added ex pense. “My God, Abernethy.” Fork News Notes. Mr*.

SYNOPSIS The congregation of the Old White Church In Locust Hill turns out in full force to look over the new preacher. Dr. Jonathan Far- well,, and there is much speculation among the communicants as to what sort of man lie will be. Cassius Brady, treasurer of the church, had recommended Dr. Farwell for the post after hearing his baccalaureate sermon at the graduation of Dale Farwell, his. son, who is a geologist. Brady’s daughter Lenora interests Dale, who lives alone with his father. Dr. Farwell meets the members of his congregation’personally, accepts their tributes, but refuses to be impressed by the banker's family, the Marblestones, whose . daughter Evelyn obviously sets her cap for Dale. Meanwhile the women of the town are curious about the mystery of the Far- well s' womanless housekeeping. In the privacy of his room Dale has enshrined a picture of a beautiful woman, inscribed In childish lettering "Elaine." The Marblestones invite the Farwells to dinner with Cassius Brady. At the dinner Evelyn monopolizes Dale. CHAPTER, III—Continued “That sounds dreadfully energetic. I’m sure that someone told me you were studying for the ministry, under your father,” Evelyn said. Dale chuckled with undisguised amusement. . “Hardly! If I ever had an idea of becoming a preacher, I would have been discouraged long ago. My fa ther’s too shining an example, to my way of thinking:” “Isn’t he wonderful! There’s • something so—so fascinating about him. Everybody’s quite mad over him. Only . . . You know, I’m rather in awe of him. He looks so dignified and stern. Is he really?" “Oh, no. I used to feel that way about him when I was a kid,” Dale remarked reflectively. “Of course we haven’t seen such a lot of each other these past years. Perhaps I understand him better now. He’s a mighty square shooter.” “I’m sure he is. Have you met many people here?” “Almost no one. Oh, there have Ibeen quite a few dropping in at the house. But father does the honors.” “Then you have no friends here?” “Only one, you might say. I haven’t seen her since I came.” “Beally?” Evelyn’s eyes widened to sudden attention. The drawl in her tone vanished. “Whom are you talking about?”“Miss Brady. I met her out West.”“Oh . . . I never thought . . . Do you mean she attended the same , school you did? Why, how odd! You are a friend of Lee Brady. I knew she had been in college somewhere, but I never supposed . . . Then you’ve known her for a long time,” Evelyn said. “But I haven’t. That’s the funny part of it. I never met her until Mr. Brady came to torih, commencement time. He heard father preach the baccalaureate sermon and introduced himself. Miss Brady was with him. That’s when I found we had been together at the U for two years, and I never knew it.” "Oh.” Evelyn’s red mouth curved in a smile. “Lee is a dear. We were in high school together and went to the same kid parties here.I haven’t seen so much of her lately." “Are you children getting acquainted? I thought I’d look in.” Mrs. Marblestone rustling into the room to stand looking in vague perplexity at the two on the settee. “Please sit down, Mr. Farwell,” Mie resumed. “I can squeeze in between .the two of you—like this.” She suited action to the word. “Eve lyn, you’ve been smoking. I don’t know what Doctor Farwell would think. What do you think?” She turned to Dale who was try ing to accommodate himself to what was left of his former place. “I quite approve,A he assured her gravely. “Dear, dear. Everything’s so different these days. It’s a trying thing to bring up an attractive young daughter. You know, when I was a girl . -. .V For the next hour, Mrs. Marble- stone dominated the conversation, familiarizing herself wholeheartedly with-; her guest’s past, present and future.When Dqctor Farwell came down stairs with Henry Marblestone, he found Dale still in his corner, his appearance suggesting that of a’wit ness enduring a cross-fire of examination'and hoping to remember the salient points of his story. The minister came to his aid by refusing a chair. He offered the preparation of his evening sermon as ...an excuse for taking an early leave.■ Brady, it appeared, had some business to discuss with his host and ha£ remained m the library. ‘(We’ve been having such a nice visit* with your son . v. .” Mrs. Marblestone beamed. “So sorry you must- go. Evelyn and I were so in terested . . . Such a pityyourdear wife was not spared to share your labors . . .” . Evelyn took up-.the-theme as her mother's voice trailed, away in its customary indecision. “Is Dale a good cook, Doctor Far- well?” she wanted to>know. . “Eve been wondering if I dared drop in on you at meal time: You’d almost^ have to ask me to remain, you know.”“Of course.” There was no suggestion of amusement in the min ister’s dark eyes. “Then I think I- will. I could help with the dishes, at least. I’m sure that Dale would like to have me help him. Wouldn’t you?” Evelyn turned to him with a smile and a flash of her white teeth. “Dale and I are-old campaigners,” Farwell interposed quietly.“Just the same . . .” Mrs. Mar blestone trying again.For the first time since his arrival In Locust Hill, the minister volun teered information regarding his personal affairs. “The present arrangement at the parsonage is temporary. Our housekeeper will be here shortly. And now I really must say good-night.” CHAPTER IV Aside from more or less routine duties, Constable Kemey of Locust Hill permitted himself one diver sion. It was meeting the half do^en north and south-bound trains whose schedules called for a stop within the province of his authority. The office of the law was little more than a stone’s throw from the railroad station and' only pressing business prevented the officer from “Wait just a minute. You mean you work for the reverend?” “That’s whatever.” The little man grinned impudently. “I’m his hired girt Well, so long . . . See you in church.” 'Kemey stood staring-after the de parting, figure as if uncertain of the best course to pursue. When the latter vanished around the comer of the station, the constable followed. A moment later, he sighted his quarry walking briskly along Market Street in the direction of. Old White. Kemey followed at a-dis tance calculated .to disarm suspicion. It wouldn’t hurt to shadow this new arrival. To his chagrin, he saw the man with the suitcase turn with a friend ly wave of his paper parcel as he entered the parsonage yard. Ker- ney continued his stroll, watching the next scene from the comer of his eye. He saw the door opened by Doctor FarwelL The man in the cap dropped his parcels and ex tended both hands with a shrill: “Hey, Dominie!” There was no mistaking the smile of greeting on the minister’s pale face, as his own hands went out to clasp the stranger’s.“Well, I vow!” Kemey ejaculated, as he turned and retraced his steps in the direction of his office. Jonathan Farwell smiled across -Lee eame to the door. taking his unobtrusive stand near the triegraph operator’s observation window a-few moments before each train’s arrival. Public buses and automobiles would have furnished a more accurate index to the town’s tran sients, but the station offered a convenient method of keeping one’s fin ger pn the traveling pulse. Kemey ’ s shrewd eyes were ever on the alert. Nearby cities fur nished him with frequent “fliers” describing wanted criminals— rogues’ gallery likenesses, aliases and, not infrequently, a mention of tempting rewards. The constable acquired the knack of keeping these unfavorable portraits in the back of his mind. Locust Hill with its quiet respectability might easily appeal to some fugitive 'AS a peaceful haven. This uncompromising vigilance appeared to have met with possible results one afternoon. Number 406, from the North, slowed to a grinding halt on time. . The last passenger to clamber down the steps of the smoker was a small man who clutched a shabby suitcase in one hand and a paper parcel in the other. \ . An unprepossessing figure this stranger,-looking about uncertainly, from under the cap drawn low over his thin face. A liyid welt ran' from the outer comer of his left eye across' the cheek and under' the jaw. The - ear on the -same side seemed to have suffered damage all its own. , ' -SvK-The scarred face brought no rer sponse from Kemey’s mental col lection, but he felt amply justified in accosting the new arrival. . “Lookin’ for somebody, buddy?’ “Maybe. Is this a pinch?” ' “That depends,” was the grim re- ply. “I-like to know who folks are that get off here. I get paid for itl’ The eyes under the cap scanned Kemey coolly. I There was a slight flicker of amusement'in their gray depths.“Okay, flatfoot. I was just startin’ to pay a call .on my boss:” “Who’s he?” •“Doc Farwell. Know him, do you?”“I know him, all nght. But “Then you might Miow me where he hangs out. Trail along, if it suits you ” “His church is . up the next street .- . . Got a high steeple.: Doctor Farwell’s house is on:the far side. By the graveyard ”, “Sounds cheerfuL Thanks.” the parlor at his guest who lolled easily in the largest of the uphol stered chairs, puffing on a cigarette and grinning delightedly. The minister’s smile held'a warmth that no Locust Hill acquaintance had been privileged to see. ;t ■“Pink, it does seem' good to see you again!”“No foolin’? Some nice dump.” The man called Pink looked about the parlor approvingly. “The old stuff looks pretty familiar.” Farwell emitted one of bis rare laughs. He had relaxed strangely in this little man’s presence, sit ting low in his own chair with bis long black legs Outstretdied and hands thrust in his trouser pockets. The two men chatted for a time. Pink telling of his trip and asking pointed" questions regarding Locust Hill and its people. i “Thought I was goin’ to see it from inside the hoosegow,” he chuckled, sailing his cigarette butt into the fireplace with an accurate flip. Cop down at the depot. .Took me for one of them public enemies, I guess.” * "You told him, of course,' that you were coming here?” “Sure. But he trailed me all the same. Say, Dominie . . . Ain’t it about time my sidekick was shOwin’ bp?”.“I expected him before : this.” Farwell drew a large open-face watch from his pocket and studied it thoughtfully.“Has he made up his. mind yet what he’s goin’ to do?” “He is going back to school. ..I do not know just how soon.”“The sooner the better,” Pink grumbled. “Here he is now. Driv- in’ up with a dame. Classy, all right. Get aloadof her, will you?” FarwelFstepped near- enough the window to look over the smaller man’s shoulder., “She is the daughter of one of my members.” His dark eyes contracted a trifle. “Then you picked a good church. Here comes the kid.”Quick steps, sounded in the halL The parlor door was flung open and Dale stood framed in the entrance. “Pink Mulgrew! Gee, but I’m glad to see you, Pink!” Dale had the little man by the shoulders, shaking him affectionately. (‘Same here. But not In them trick pants. Bad enough to go in for a sissy game without dressin’. You look pretty fit, otherwise. And you’ve been playin’ , with dames, I see. I should have got here sooner and started you trainin’.” “Dale.” Farwell interposed the word almost sharply. "I imagine that Pink would like to go to his room. Will you show him the way?” The minister stood without mov ing after the pair left the parlor.. His brows were drawn into a frown as he stared down at the rug. The expression on his-face did not change until the silence was broken by a sound from the second floor. It was the staccato tattoo, of a punching bag, vibrating under the attack of professional knuckles. Within forty-eight hours, Locust Hill was mulling over a Farwell problem that dimmed its predecessors completely. This new and in triguing puzzle was the latest addition to the parsonage household. Who’was this Pink Mulgrew? The fact that he had been seen conversing with Constable Kemey gave rise to rumors that Mr. Mulgrew was a sometime gangster, employed by the pastor for purposes of reformation. Pink’s sinister ap pearance made the suggestion en tirely feasible. Mulgrew must be a servant. “Pagin’ Mister Fa-awell!”Pink ' Mulgrew thrust his head into the living room. Dale was there, stretched comfortably on the' couch reading a magazine.“Phone, Pink?” ‘-‘Yeah. The girl friend. Want me to-dust off.the clubs?” ' “Never mind. I’ll get it.” He rose and made his way out to the telephone. “Hello,” he said briefly.“Hello,” returned a cheerful voice. “It’s Lee Brady.” “Oh! I . . . Vffien did you get to town? I say! Are you going to be home this afternoon? And may I call?” “If you can spare the time.” Dale thought he heard a suppressed laugh. “Please do,” Lee went on 'hurriedly. “I want you to meet the nicest person in Locust Hill.”Dale was quickened by a thrill of anticipation as he strode on his way to that afternoon appointment.. He hadn’t quite realized how eager he was to see Lee again. The Brady home somehow looked the way DMe had hoped. It stood in the center of a large lawn. A house of drab brick topped by a mansard roof, its colored slates laid in patterns. A house to live in.Lee came to the door. The same Lee of the brown eyes and ready smile.

A very interesting experiment with moose is going on. in Michigan. About 20 years, ago moose came from Canada and settled on Isle Royale in Lake Superior, where there never had been any before. No hunting was permitted and after a few years the moose got so plen tiful that they ate up all the winter feed within reach and began to starve to death by-the score. So the state'of Michigan; for three winters, has been trapping moose on the island and taking them across to the mainland and releasing them in what looks-to-be-perfect moose country. About 60 moose have been liberated. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson. By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.Dean of The Moody Bible Institute.■ of Chieago.______® Western NewspaperPnion. .. Lesson for July 17 - DEBORAH: EMERGENCY LEADERSHIP LESSON TEXT—Judges 4:1*9, 12*14. GOLDEN TEXT—Who knoweth whether thou art come to Uie Idngdom tor such a time as this?—Esther 4:14. . \PRIMARY TOPIC—WItor Deborah Sang. JUNIOR TOPIC—Why Deborah Sang. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Ready for Emergencies..YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— W fgtncy Leadership. "Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Such is the divine summary of what was wrong in Israel during the period of the judges (Judges 21:25). “There was no king in Israel,” no competent and inspiring leadership. The people lived according to the Whims of the day, and, as always, humanity left to itself drifted to lower and lower ■levels. This was true morally and spiritually and ultimately political* ly, for they came repeatedly into bondage to other nations and were only delivered as God raised up judges to lead them to repentance and victory, as well as to rule over them. I. A People in Disorder (w. 1-3). I Any people , that forgets God and begins to live after the. dictates of the flesh will at length come to the place where some strong man with ‘chariots of iron” will rule over them. We, in America, look at the other nations of the world, viewing their plight with sympathy but ever assuring ourselves that “it can’t happen here.” We ought to'arouse ourselves and face the facts lest our own land, happy in its posses sion of God’s great blessings of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” abuse those privileges, neglect the worship of God, spurn the leadership He gives us, and be come “lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof’ (H Tim. 3:4, 5). H we do not awake- and repent the' Lord may have to “sell” iis, as He did Israel, into the hands of the oppressor. H. A Leader Called of God (w. 4-9). God always has His man. ready for the hour of need—only in this case His man was a woman. Glori ous indeed is the record of faithful and capable womanhood in annals of God’s work on .earth. Deborah was a woman of unique gifts—a poetess, a prophetess, and withal ‘the wife of Lapidoth,” evidently a woman who cared well for her own household. Brains and natural ability are much needed, especially in a time such as ours when few there are who even care to think for them selves and few who have any desire to develop native ability except for the purpose of “making money.” But’true leadership calls for more than talent,and intelligence; it calls for a burning in the soul, a divine zeal, the urge of God in the heart.. Deborah had-this fiery touch upon her life. Barak, while, undoubtedly a man of ability, evidently did not have it. Many excuses have been offered for the weakness indicated in verse eight. It "has been 'said that he was cautious, or that he wanted to give the place of honor to Deborah as the leader of her people. These suggestions may be true, but somehow one has the feeling that what he really , lacked, was the “flaming heart.” May God give it to us, that in our much doing of His work the divine fire may warm and inspire us! m . A Divine Victory (w. 12-14). God gave Deborah and Barak a great victory, but 'note that it was God and hot man who brought about the defeat of Jabin (Judges 4:15,23). It was a complete victory‘and the enemies of Israel troubled them no more for many a day.’ Dr. Wilbur M. Smith aptly points out that we should IOok “upon these conflicts in the book of Judges as certainly symbols of the great con flict that eveiy Christian knows as he wrestles, not with flesh and blood, but against principalities and pow ers, against the world-rulers of darkness. and spiritual, wickedness in heavenly places. Victory is certain only when'the Lmd is with us and only when we walk in BQs will and contend against evil in His power. We are more than con querors, but only through the Lord Jesus Christ” (Peloubet’s Select Notes). In closing this lesson the writer of these notes wishes to recognize the blessing of1God in .enabling him to'complete'two years of this service to Him and to His people. He also wishes to thank those readers in every state of the Union and in a number of foreign- countries who have written' to him .1words'of appre ciation, encouragement and counsel.

A few months ago the city fathers had a traffic light erected m the middle of. the. Ijquare' where the four highways, cross. This -idea was all- right,, but it seems that mauy citizens of Davie county,- to gether with many tourists, cannot tell the* difference between a red light and a green light. The town doesn't have a speed cap, and the result is - that hundreds of people cross this square when the red ligbt is on. - We have noticed a number of Mocksville . people who have failed to stop when . the signal is wrong.-and only a few days ago two big cars.came near crashing as a result of a driver paying no at. tention to the light.. So far as we know, no one has been arrested for violating rhis traffic: law, provided, there is. a law against crossing the square when, the redrlight is burn ing. The town should see that drivers observe the law, or taketbe light down, for as.sure as the., sun shines one of these days there will be a smash-up and some one badly hurt or killed. Thisisuota criti cism, but a statement oi plain facts, and is written in the hope that it may prevent some one being killed or seriously injured. Watch the light and.help prevent accidents. - Not A Bad Plan. From day to day we have been publishing a brief account, of the progress of the campaign in South Carolina, particularly as regards the race for the United States Senate. The three candidates have adopted the unique method of appearing be fore the voters together, and they are brutally frank in- listing the merits and faults. Senator Smith is running on his record, which has been one largely of opposition to. the Roosevelt ad ministration. Likewise both-of his opponents seem to be rnnnmg on bis oppenents seem to be running on his record, appealing to the voters to unhorse the senator and put somebody between the piow- handles who will co-operate -with the horse. Rubber stamp’’ -and coat tails” are the words most frequently used by -these pseudo- statements in their canvass' of the voters, and if: there is any real is sue, any . constructive platform stressed-by either of them we have failed to note it. Bnt we like this kind . of cam paigning. The voters at one sit ting, can look all the candidates over and decide whom , they want to support with’, their votes. The candidates themselves, under this plan will be. more cautious about what: they say, certain of being challenged on the. soot, if - they branch iff into the field of.extrava gant statements that won’t hold water Of course as the lads warm - up they are’liable to get more empha tic, and if tbetr audiences catch theii fervor and enthusiasm, some body’s bead'is-hable to- contact a pop Bottle, which would be-less liable where one candidate was ad-' dressrag.his own crowd. If the plan works out satisfac--- torily in South Carolina,, we’d - like the candidates on this; side . o f: the line to adopt . .this - program - next time.- “ Jt would tnaketliings more interesting.

Panl Leonard is the executive sec retary and the spokesman tor the North Carolina Fair Tax Associa tion, which is a group of as fine-men as there are in the state. Besides the board of directors of 15 leading business men there is an - advisory board of 35 good men from- many counties, from whom Mr..- Leonard gets his orders. - As for the sales tax, and our fight to kilt it by court-action, I .want to say that in all the newspapers I read I have never seen any. one, not even the governors responsible for it, try to defend its constitutionality. It’s just like the Hickory. Daily Record said: “The then governor shed crocodile tears on more than one public occasion and admitted Ireely that the levy was not nght in prin ciple.” ■ Revenue Commissioner Maxwell also assailed the sales tax as all wrong when be was running for governor. Now they all -want to jump on Paul Leonard because he is serving as spokesman for the organization - which is: not going to give up the fight till the sales, tax, which was forced on.the people as an emergency measure, is wiped off the slate: : ■ . I am proud of my membership in the Fair Tax Association. I have fonnd in its membership many men like the late Dr. Burrus, of High Point, who are true patriots work ing for the good of the people with, out desire or hope of- political re ward . Itis easy to understand why politicians do not like-what - our spokesman tells about the fiscal af fairs of the state. . Bnt the- . people ought to appreciate our fight against-: heavy public debt and-waste and extravagance.in government. Who besidesMr: Leonard has-cried out against the adding of a million dob: lars-a month to the. taxes we must pay every.time the legislature meets? Mr. Leonard is plenty able to take care of himself on all occasions—I have seen him in: action-rbut I do feel that it behooves ail of us who favor what he said the Fair ’ Tax Association are doing to back him up and - not . allow, anybody to-be kicked around or the issue brushed aside: - -1 am glad to speak out, and I believe the Fair Tax Association will backtne up when I say that afterwe get rid of the sales tax,, we will go after other forms- of: taxation equally unjust —R.

WPA hourly wage rates . have been boosting five cents throughout the Southeast geuerallv, but in two of the States of this area, namely in Kentucky and Oklahoma, they have been lifted 10 cents the hour. In other word®, relief workers in these two Southern -States receive five cents an hour more than - re lief workers in tbe other nine of the 11 Statesof this region. Why do you suppose that Harry Hopkiu’s recently, made this dis- crimination In favor of-such work ers in Kentucky and -Oklahoma? -Well, of course, the relief admin istration at .Washington is not in politics, but there are two New Deal Senatars, one in Oklahoma, who are up to their necks in hot, bitter and close campaigns to suc ceed themselves. A New Deal boost of five cents an hour for relief workers in the.1 e two States above that generally al lowed in the “submerged Soutb,” oughtn’t to do these two; New Deal hard-pressed Senators any harm, at any rate.—Charlotte Observer.

Now that all four of the Roose velt boys are safely. married to A- merican millions, it- was hoped tbat Frankhn D., would have a little pity on the business of the nation that in :a ‘great measure produces all this. wealth but it seems that he is determined to wipe out business and turn .the country ,over to a system similar to Communism, Fas cism or .-.some other kind of ism when he leaves the White House.: His- latest speech Friday night was a bitier aitacs on the business in terests of the United Statesand still Roosevelt has almost broken his neck iu getting his sons connected up by marriage with this same busi ness that he.- so cordially ^hates.

Fresideut of. the United Statesreceives only $70,000; which pays a prize-fighter $200,000 for a few minutes’ work in the -.ring and pays the greatest preachers in thf country less than one tenth of that amount for an entire year’s work: which permits Shirely - Temple to earm $150,000 in tbe course:of a veer and hold Senator Borah’s salars down to $10,000 for the same .penod of time .■ ' We repeat: there’s sometbmy wrong there, but we can’t exactlj put our finger on what - it is.—Tbe State. ■■ An Indirect Insult ■ -Many North Carolinians have been contributing 10 a fund for the relief of the Chinese victims of.rnth- less Japanese bombings and air raids - If we were the Chinese,;we would be inctibed to throw that money right back’ into the. faces of the people who donated-if.

(By Walter Millsap)' . (This was written in 1932: before they plowed up the third row and killed the little pigs, but it is just as applicable now) One of the craziest notions that was ever turned looBe to confuse a dumb public is this fool idea of high prices.-.: : The papers are‘‘full, of grief” a- bout pouring milk down the sewers, because it upsets the chemistry of purification plants and; it cqn’t be poured in the streams because it kills the fish and it must be poured some where in order to keep tbe price high. '.Then considering the poor fish in stead of the milk they must not be caught except in very limited quanti ties in order to keep the price bigh. Here on the costs.they make fhb into fertiler rather than distribute it as food..and the object;,of course, is to keep the price of sea-food plenty high. Here on the coast .they make fish into fertilizer rather than distribute it as food, and the object, of course, is to keep the price of sea food plen ty high. Then they dare not use . too much of tbe fertilizer for fear it will make big crop of vegetables and then they must let the vegetables rot in order, to keep the prices high. Theorange growers organize and dump small mountion ranges of or ganize and pour oil on them and burn them to keep tnepnces bigb. The real. -estate men - get their heads together and keep the price of real estate, high, and the owners struggle high, and the apartment house ownerB struggle heroically to keep the rents high. They are figh'ing to cork up the oil .wellsandmake the price of 01 and gasoline high The cantaloupe crop of the Im perial Valley must rot on the grounc in order that we who live.in the-city must pay high prices for cantaloupes. The farmer who raised them would be glad to get one quarter of om cent apiece for them in.order to pay high interest, etc., but tbat most not be-allowed.’ Congress bas made a high tariff to belp-keep all prices high. And soon* out has been advocating that it would raise freight rates it woulr fix things 0 .

An admiring woman correspondent described her as "shy and demure,” with quick recourse to her "modish little van ity case,” as she climbed from her plane after a hard day’s j bombing. That was in the Der- ! sim area, in eastern Anatolia, in j which she had been blasting the • Kurds out of their caves.

She rides a single- seated military plane, handles all types of planes and is especially accurate and skillful in bombing.It is said no - aviator in Turkey can match her in diving and stunting, but she shrinks modestly from all such, possibly unfeminine, exhi bitionism, and sticks to her humdrum bombing tasks. * * • U ERE is another diverting little 1 news note, in sharp contrast, however, on the emergence of the modem woman.

I t ~ — by William Bruckart NatloaalFnss BelUUag - Washington, JO. C. WASHINGTON; — Considerable doubt seems to be arising , in many quarters whether D oabt .'the* Ifew ..Dealers Arieet Brequitewnmich concerned - over uplifting living standards of the poor as they are concerned over their votes in the fall elections. These doubts which are now in the form of a flood of inquiries obvi ously arise from - taw incidents which have occurred here in the nation’s capital. Rather, there Were three, incidents, for it was the first action that .made the other two in cidents significant. Let us take them up in order to get a good view of the circumstances: First, President Roosevelt lately has signed the new wage and hour law. Under its terms, wages paid employees and the hours which they work throughout the nation now be come a matter of federal jurisdic tion—if the employers of those work ers buy or sell anything outside of the state in. which the plant or factory actually is located. That is to say, any business operating in interstate commerce must now comply with a federal law as to wages paid and hours worked, and meet the regulations laid down by a Washington bureaucrat after the law becomes effective—October 24,1938.None of these employees may work more than 44 hours a week (five and -one-half days of eight hours) nor can they be paid, less than 25 cents per hour during the first year of the law. In the second year, the number, of hours is reduced to 42 per week and the rate of pay rises to 30 cents per hour. Thereafter, the work week is fixed at 40 hours and the lowest rate of pay at 40 cents an hour. The pro visions naturally will apply to nearly all individual manufacturing es- talishments because few of them can exist by selling only in their home localities. Agriculture is not affected by the law, so that farmers are privileged, for once, to pay .for what they get in the way of services and not be under orders from Washington. This is the law that was fought off so long by senators and representatives from the southern states. They demanded that some consideration be given the employers of the South where conditions are de cidedly different from other parts of the United States. They did not get a complete differential in the scales but they obtained .a compro mise that permits the new bureau crat,- the wage administrator,; to consider the costs of living to some extent. Living costs in the South generally have been lower than else where and some types of labor in southern areas are recognized as not being as efficient. Passage of the act with some leeway of flexibility, was-believed likely to solve these problems of the South.That brings us now to the second of the incidents. Mr. Roosevelt’s signature to the wage and hour bill was affixed on a Saturday. On Sunday, Harry Hop kins, chief of WPA, the professional reliever of the administration; issued an announcement. By the terms of the. order he released; all unskilled workers in the 13 southern states — something like - 500,000 — working on relief payrolls were treated te a pay raise. ^ In addi tion, some other classes at WPA workers were given a pay boost, but the numbers were not disclosed.- Certainly, they are fewer, than the class known as unskilled workers.The. ?ction; was, taken, Mr. Hop kins explained in his announcement, "pursuant .to a general administra tion policy ot bringing income1 levels of the lowest paid workers of the South more nearly in line with the income levels of such-workers in other parts of the country.”• • . * It will be recalled also that while tea wage-hour debate was at ite hot- . N test in congress,H bpm nt Mr. Roosevelt A ntw eirt J^tototheideep South to lecture employers on..fhe^lqw wage;levejs.'He spoke at Gainesville, Ga.; iitvig- orous language to the effect that the South was being held back because employers were paying wages that were too low to-maintain a satis-1 factory standard ’ of living. 'That speech came: in the midst of ’argument by southern members of con gress that even-WPA was payinjg lower levels in the South than' elsewhere and employers should not be .compelled to accept a new drain on their production.costs. ,: .Thus, we see'Mr. Hopkins has answered both arguments. By increas ing, the WPA levels of pay, -he has effectively sealed the mouths of the southern opponents of the WPA and at the same time has forced the industries about which Mr. Roose velt complained to meet a new kind of "competition” for workers.Anyone who knows anything about the factors that govern wages,- and they are all very-human, conditions, recognizes that southern industries will have to increase- their pay rates—or watch'WPA take over the' workers. For it remains as a fact that certain' types of persons .will prefer to-go on WPA thw^work regularly; eVen if the.zegu^work does provide a somewhat greater money return each week. That condition results from -the fact WPA has; had such a loose system of planning the .rfork to-be dorie> and'to'dbe further fact that'.among ,the: WPA labor:.! there has been absolutely no discipline; no one who can compel a full day’s work for a full day’s pay. It is one of the tragedies, dark and dangerous, of the present system of relief that men are taught to loaf on the. job instead of working that their families may have somewhat more of food and Clothes and things to enjoy life.But, as treacherous as’the Hopkins policy appears from what has been stated; there is yet a very much worse angle. It can be traced through most easily. By raising the WPA pay levels in the South, Mr. Hopkins thereby forced new levels of pay in the industries of the South. I have visited many parts of the South and I believe I’can safely say that few manufacturing establishments have been able to avoid losses in their operations during the last eight years. By raising the WPA levels and bringing about a competition for the available workers, Professor Hopkins saddled upon the industries an added burden of expense.! From some parts iff the South, I hear’that this added pay roll cost will mean the closing of some plants; others are going to continue operation and try to get their money back by increasing the prices of their products. That means the consumers will pay ,the bill. It causes me to wonder whether it will do the. workers any good to have more money when prices of the things they Use are hiked up at the same time. •••■•The above explanation was given at some length as prelude to the real effect of the Real WPA boost and Objective Trhal 1 bebeve tobe the real objec tive of the New Deal action. If WPA' and industrial pay levels are higher in the South, then it becomes obvious that the exemptions and differentials which-the southern sena tors and representatives thought they obtained are absolutely and completely nullified. The New Dealers who have the President’s ear have whipped the devil around the stump; they have accomplished by indirection that which congress re jected as a direct action, and they have tossed the southern members of the Democratic party straight to the wolves. So, now we can consider the third movement of the symphony that has caused doubts to arise concerning the sincerity of the programs This chorus was suiig by Aubrey Wil liams, assistant WPA administrator —No. 2 man for Mr. Hopkins. He, too, made a speech. It was adr dressed to the Workers Alliance, which is ,an organization that has gone so far as: to participate in strikes among WPA workers to force tiie United Statite government to do its bidding. The Workers Alliance bigwigs came to Washington , to fight'against a proposed WPA cut in pay for artists and actors. They said they represented something like 200,000 WPA workers, and nat urally the -WPA workers must contribute something out of their pittance to support of the. organization. - Well, Mr. Williams advised the WPA workers "to stick together.” He urged them to discover who are “your friends”, at election time.“We’ve got to stick • together," ,sted.Mr. .Wtitiems. ."We’ve gotto keep our friends in power. I don’t need to tell you.. You know your friends very , well, or must know them; Just judge the folks who come and ask your support (at elecr tions) by the crowd they run with.. . : The same goes for painting and .writing, keeping up these things. The men who stand for this sort of- thing are the-men you are going, to send to the elections” by winning in the primaries. , .

Even in religious circles there is a seeking for the men with “big names” when something is to be done. Our lesson for today reit erates the principle which we all know but which we practice so little, namely,, that whatever is. accom plished that is really wctrth while is! done by God and that He uses only humble. instruments—the . “foolish things,” the “weak things,” the “base things,” and “things which are despised” (I Cor. 1:26-29). No flesh is to have any opportunity to glory in His presence. If men who are . accounted great by this world are useful to God it is only because they are themselves humble in spir it and service. - Gideon came from an obscure family in a small tribe in Israel— and was astonished when God called him (Judges 6:15)... He asked God for several signs to assure him that he was the Choseii instrument of the Lord(read Judges'6), but once he was certain he went forward, noth ing doubting. . I. An Insignificant Army (vv. 4-7). At first thought it seems almost foolish to comment on this story of repeated reductions in the size of Gideon’s ariny in these hectic days when the nations of the earth ,are living for but one objective—to cre ate a fighting machine bigger and more fully manned than that of any Other nation.But on second thought it is just the time for such comment, be cause what the nations are doing is a perfect example of the. hopeless philosophy of men, while what Gideon did is a presentation of God’s way. These notes are being pre pared in a city distant from the writer’s home, where he is attending a conference of national leaders in a field of great and international importance. A long session just concluded was addressed by a number of brilliant and capable men and women-r-and the conclusion they reached was that America was a badly befuddled nation, lost without a sense'of direction in a wilderness of incoherent and inherently con tradictory theories and about to lose its dearly, bought freedom, unless someone points the way out. The only solutions offered were bigger . and; better human programs, and when a suggestion'was made that our need might be. spiritual the discussion was promptly directed in another/direction. We need the lesste today that it is by the seemingly insignificant Gideon’s band that victory is to be, obtained. Take courage, ye 300, rid yourselves of the 22,000 fearful ones, let God sift opt the ’9,700 who sire not alert to the danger of the enemy, and then, tinder, some' Gideon who is obedient'to the command of God, go forward to victory.

Milk is so many-sided that I al ways think of it as the Benjamin Franklin of foods. It is a vast treasure chest of nutri ents — the most complex product of nature’s chemistry.I t. contains nearly every chemical el ement of the body itself, in. proportions adapted for quick and easy as similation. Milk fulfills six essential,requirements of a per fect diet.First: It supplies carbohydrate and fat for heat and energy.Second: It furnishes protein that is suitable for building new tissues and repairing the millions of cells that are worn out daily.Third: It yields ininefals which build bones and teeth and regulate' the subtle. infernal processes of the body. Fourth: It contains every known vitamin in some degree and is abundantly supplied with the vita mins that are necessary to growth, to the smooth running of the body machine, and to the prevention of many types of infection. , Fifth: It contains water, to act as a solvent, a carrier and regu lator. Sixth: It is easily digestible. This brief summary helps to explain the unique place of milk in nutrition. Think of it! In one food, we find protein of the high est type; carbohydrate and fat; all the vitamins; every ene of the minerals demanded by the human body; water;, and-an easy digesti bility that readily changes 'these ingredients into vigorous life. - . . —i t — The Biqqesl FoodBarqcdn We occasionally hear the; charge that inilk is too high in price-'-that it is a lutery to afford enough of this master food to .supply a.quart daily for every .child—at least a pint for each adult.

For a five-year old, it provides about half the day’s fuel requirements, and for a ten-year old, one-third. Even a moderately active man could obtain one-fourth of his energy re-, quirements from a quart of this precious fluid. It is also interesting to'note that five-eighths cup of milk is equivalent in energy value, to one and one-third eggs, or two and. one-fourth ounces of lean beef.

Quality Silk Weaves Lead Styles By CHERIE NICHOLAS i ICrINE silks make fine ladies, or 1 rather we should say fine ladies are wearing fine silks—finer and more of the quality type than for ,many seasons past. The enthusiasm expressed for handsome silks is no doubt due to the fact that current fashion declares In favor of greater elegance in the mode, and when the “dress-up” mood is on, as ,it so unquestionably is this season, !the logical answer that has stood the test of centuries is—silk! The significant thing about the present silkward movement is that the fine silks fine ladies are wearing are fine indeed. They are pure silk and no camouflage about it. Then, too, the quest for the better silks has revealed so many new and novel types brought out this seasofi that the silk vogue now on is contributing a most exciting and fascinating chapter in the 1938 story of fabrics. A note of elegance runs through the patrician silk costumes pic tured. These modes convey an idea of how the “dress-up” spirit is interpreted, by women of discriminating taste. Speaking of silk weaves that are new this season, the dress to the right is made of a rustic-weave Indian silk that is a joy to wear, since it is quite crush resistant and goodlooking and 2ts slightly rough surface adds charm to the tex ture. It is smartly styled in peasant type with long sleeves and striped silk girdle m vivid gypsy colors that contrast the neutral tone of the silk most dramatically. It is topped by a full length sleeveless coat of matching silk. The sombrero of natural straw adds a picturesque touch. Dusty rose pink silk crepe fashions the coat-dress to the left. It is a charming costume for the young matron, its slim draped lines and slightly bloused back being par- I ticularly flattering to the slender figure. Shirring at the neckline, shoulders and down the center, front places emphasis on the style message that declares shirred effects to be- a leading trimming feature this season. The hat faced, with black organdie and trimmed with dusty rose grosgrain ribbon is extremely effective with this charm-' ing costume. A smart ensemble for mother or daughter centers the group. The straight, printed crinkled silk crepe coat with quilting spaced between the large white flowers is hew on several counts. Note that the silk print is crinkled, and crinkled fab rics are the rage this season. In cottons crinkled seersuckers and crinkled flowered organdies lead in chic, while in the silk realm the accent is on richly colorful crinkled prints, preferably crepes, together with a versatile showing of .crinkled silk sheers."' The 'idea "of the long silk coat is going big this season, prints, if prints be your choice, or dressmaker separate coats made of choice navy or black failles, crepes, bengalines and other silks of sim- Uaf type. ' The dress worn ij&der this crinkled and qufited flower-print coat is ot black silk Canton crepe with sleeves continuing the qinlted theme. The scalloped Milan hat is something to talk about in that it confirms the report from Paris that designers are “scaUopmg ev erything” this season. Among the newer silks that are making a definite impression the sheer crepe that is ribbed in raised relief, should be mentioned. There are also many interesting novelty crepes, outstanding among which are those having honeycomb pat- termngs, while still others are of etamine construction. In the sports class the new Chinese silk damask crepes m clear pastel shades are. greatly admired. As a parting word—don’; forget the importance of taffeta.Q Western newspaper Union. BABY TRIMS GIVE THAT CHARM TOUCH By CHEBIE NICHOLASThis season’s frocks and lingerie blouses are taking on the charm of childhood' days when leisure moments were taken up with running ribbons through beading, or hand- running numberless pintucks or with “whipping on” dainty lace edgings, plus countless other enhancements that contribute that something called “charm.” The trend toward ultra feminin ity in dress that marks current styles accounts for the revival of the dainty “baby trims” that are so much in evidence in summer fash ions- As a consequence, m selecting your wardrobe you can indulge to your heart’s content in the fancies and foibles that give the “pretty” look to summery clothes. So look up the dress and the blouse collections in your favorite shops and departments and be gladdened at the refreshing sight of fascinat ing touches that designers are lavishing on even the most inexpensive washable as well as upon the de lectable “dressup” fashions for more formal wear. Simplicity for Day New day and afternoon dresses are straight and simple, with plaits for morning wear but draped for afternoon. Hips tightly modeled, rather far down, are plain in con trast to tucked and shirred waists. Versatile Silk Jersey Silk jersey is being used with equal success in the sports, after noon or evening wardrobe. It may be combined with other materials, and is particularly effective when it: forms the: blouse to a wool suit.

It is a new shadow- and-substance weave of rayon that is lacy, lightweight, washable, highly crease-resistant and comes in the most delectable colors . fancy can picture.

Miss Vera Dick ens of Lynchburg, Va., was May Queen at RandoIph-Macon college, and as a result pictures of her appeared in the news reels. Whereupon Metro offered her a screen test, and possibly a contract. But she wasn’t at all sure that she’d accept; said that she wasn’t particularly interested in a movie career. til —Wh—At Universal thfy’re sort ot out on a limb. When they sold the “Madame Curie” story rights to Metro,- they made a deal which ROBERT MONTGOMERY gave, them. the services of Robert Montgomery, James Stewart and Robert Young, when they had the right stories for these three young men. And time passes, and they don’t seem to have yet found the right stories. y — * — .. Maybe you thtak it’s summer, but the football season is already under way in Hollywood. Paramount is filming its yearly football picture, “Touchdown, Army,” 'with, practically the same cast that last year did “Hold 'Em, Navy.” Taking one college a year, they can keep ^oingforeveratthat'rate. — * — Paulette Goddard is taking her career seriously at the moment. She plans to go to the Cape Playhouse, on Cape Cod, In time to appear in “French Witiiout Tears,” and it’s said that Charlie Chaplin will coach her. And, of course, if the plan should be a great success and be done in New York, with her still in the cast, she wouldn’t be at all annoyed. — Virginia Payne, the star of the popular radio serial, “Ma Perkins,” has all plans made for her vaca tion. She wants to go to Alaska and she wants Mrs. Patia Power, TyTone Power’s mother, to go with her. Mrs. Power has agreed to go. The only difficulty is that Miss Payne, after elaborately making plans, may have to stay home.

She also, though that wasn’t generally known, was on a hunt for new talent for the screen.

The judges report that they have never seen a finer collection of cakes assembled at one time. Because almost all the cakes were so exceptionally good, it was ex tremely difficult to choose the winners. But a most careful: scoring system was used, and the cakes were checked for general appearance, including shape, size and crust, both color and character; flavor, including odor and taste; lightness; crumb, including tex ture, rated as to its fineness, tenderness, moistness and elasticity, color and grain. C. Houston Goudiss has said thpt he regrets that every woman who entered the contest could not win. a prize. He offers his con gratulations to the winners and his thanks to the many other homemakers who helped to make this Cake Contest such a splendid success. U ncle & kil& S e That's Rehabilitation Young men who are bad. are usually so because they want to be bad. You've got to change their point of view. You may admire those who are brilliantly sarcastic, but you can’t love them. You can accomplish more by your own efforts than anybody can help you to accomplish. Never hesitate to praise good work,: no matter where, or by whom it'is done. Praise is often the only reward that good work gets.

President Roosevelt insisted that Congress pass a wage and hour bill. The bill was passed only a few weeks ago. The mills and factories throughout the country began cut ting wages, as they were paying ■ their-employees much more than the minimum 25 cents per hour which the . wage-hour bill made mandatory. The result is that the people, whose wages have been cut have walked out on strike, and the mills are closing down. In Greens boro last week, four big cotton mills were closed on accoutu of a walkout, and 6,000 mill workers were out of a job. It seems that just about everything the President thinks will help the unemployment situation acts in the opposite direc tion. Senator Bailey said the wage- hour bill would be a death blow to the South, and while we generally -"disagree with Mr. Bailey, we believe he is right this time. Tax Rate Same. The county commissioners, at a recent meeting, set the Dav>e coun ty tax rate at 88 c. on ths $100 va luation, the same rate as was fixed in 1937. The taxable property in the county fell Irom $10,500.000 to $10,000 00. This means tbat rigid economy is going to be practiced by the commissioners during the coming year. Many counties throughout the state bave been forced to raise their, tax levy this year. Wearegiad that the rate in Dayie is to remain the same. - The Observer Wrong. ; Thie Charlotte Observer, in a re ',cent' issue, did Mpcksville a grave : injustice.

William in writing his mother, had the following to say about his trip and the Canal Zone: -• I arrived on the Atlantic side Thiirsday but didn’t get over on the Pacific side of the canal until: Friday night. It took us a day to get through. I have heard of ships gc ing down in water, but never heard of them rising in water until Friday. The Pacific is about IOO feet higher than, the Atlantic. Ships have to stop between each lock until enough water is let in to float the next one. It is worth $50 just/to see the big gates. _ We left Charleston, S. C., about 8 p. m.. June 28th on the U.

After arriving in Panama we went on a sight-seeing tour. We went over to old Panama and saw what was left. It was built in 1467 and destroyed in 1670 by a man named Morgan. An old cath< redal bell tower was all. that was left. Theybad a solid gold a lar in iti which is over at Panama City now. We weiit over to Fort Glayton and Fort Ammador.

Iu .,-V ¥ ■'t I Jf Js Bie congregation ot the Old White Church In Locust Hill turns out in full force to look 2HST Poacher, Dr. Jonathan Far-wen, ana there is much speculation among the communicants as to what sort, of man ***♦. Cassius Brady, treasurer of the church, had recommended Dr. FarweU for me post after hearing his baccalaureate ser» mon at the graduation of Dale FarweU, Ws son, who is a geologist Brady's daughter interests Dale, who lives alone with Harwell meets the members ot his congregation personally, accepts their tributes, but refuses to be impressed by the bankers family, the Marblestones, whose daughter Eveljm obviously sets her cap for Vale. Meanwhile the women of the town are curious about the mystery of Uie Far- wells womanless housekeeping. In the privacy of his room Dale has enshrined a pic- w e of a beautiful woman, inscribed in TOfldish lettering “Elaine." The Marblestones invite the Farwells to dinner with Cassius Brady. At the dinner Evelyn monopolizes Dale. He tells her he has only one friend in Locust HUl, and she is Lee »r~-^j5 fhay. Marblestone bluntly quizzes Farwell about his womanless menage. Brady admits that the housekeeping arrangements are temporary. Constable Kerney is perturbed by the arrival on the train of a suspicious-looking little man and shadows him. He is further, mystified when the Wranger goes to the parsonage. There Uie newcomer is warmly greeted as “Pink” Mulgrew and takes up his duties as house keeper, adding to the town’s speculation, vale calls on the Bradys. CHAPTERIV—Continued “I’m so glad to see you again,” Was Lee’s frank greeting. “Maybe I’m not glad to see you!” replied Dale. ; Then the “nicest person,” welcoming the caller from her big chair beside the Rowing fire. Dale’s heart went out to Mrs. Brady at sight. A delicate woman with snowy hair framing a young face. Dark eyes like Lee’s. Gentle voiced. “I feel as if we were old friends, Mr. Farwell,” she explained, as Dald held her slender fingers in his warm clasp. “Lenora and Mr. Brady have told me about you.” “We* are,” he assured her. "And just how long have you been in town?” he demanded of Lee. “Two whole days. Our trip lasted longer than we expected. We didn’t know you were here until Daddy told us. I was sure you wotdd be at school.” “I was; Stayed there long enough to make' sure you weren’t regis- ■ tered. Then I decided to look you up. Tou told me I could, you know.” .“Lenora should have returned,” Mrs. Brady interposed. “I don’t know where she got the idea she must stay here to look after me. It’s quite ridiculous.” Her hand stole out and rested upon Lee's. “She’s a stubborn child.. Like her father. They both spoil me.” “Of course they do.” Dale could understand that. “Isn’t she adorable?” Lee asked, after Mrs. Brady left the room. She slipped down into the chair her mother had vacated. “She certainly is. I wonder if you know how lucky you are.” “Of course I do. Now tell me about things.- Out in the great wide open spaces. And don’t skip any details.” Uiey talked about the university town. The installation of the new president there. Prospects of a win ning football team. “When will you be leaving again?” Lee asked. “I haven’t made up my mind. Tou know, I don’t have to go until after New Tear’s. I like it here. The-place interests me a lot.” “I knoW.” That quick little turn of the head Dde remembered, “And v< I understand that you have been very busy.” “Not very. Puttering around. Get ting in a little golf and things. I’ve been studying, too. Eqtloring around here. And I’ve wanted to help father all I could. Getting the place settled. ' Tou know.” “Of course,” Lee agreed soberly. “Being a minister’s son must he quite a" responsibility. What have you been studying? I didn’t suppose we had much geology around here. That’s your hobby,-isn’t it?” “It’s my job—or going to be. To tell you the truth, I’ve been getting a kick out of the past history here. I never lived in a place before where things like that happened. Always had a yen for Colonial his tory and you run into tablets here everywhere you turn. - Do you know Thomas Brown?” “Tou mean Miss Abbie’s broth er?”“That’s the chap. Looks like a musty old parchment. But he sure knows, his stuff. He’s given me a lot of dope and I’ve been checking it up in the field. I had to amuse myself in some way until you came home.” “And then I had to call you up. It’s all right. I don’t blame you a bit.” - It was growing dusky in the room and the fire was low. But Dale knew the brown eyes were laughing - at him.“Go on/’ he encouraged. “What are you thinking about; now?” “I was wondering :.why you hadn’t decided - to be a minister like your . father.' Tou’ll be spending all your ; time in the wilds,- poking around ; with a little hammer,-scaring; all ' - , W the birds away. It seems such a waste of time.”They both laughed.“It’s my turn now,” Dale warned. “What are you planning to make of yourself when you finish college?” “Well,” Lee reflected seriously, “there are two answers. Both of them are teaching school. I’m too dumb to have a career. What else?”“Get married. Tm predicting. Tou won’t have a chance to teach long.”“That’s the most comforting thing I’ve been told in a long time.” They still were chatting animat edly when Cassius Brady found them upon his return from his of fice. “Hello, young man,” was his greeting. “Found your way over, did you?”“Tes, sir. And almost-forgot the way home. I didn’t realize it was growing so late.”“That’s all right. I know what it is to get in this young woman’s clutches." CHAPTER V Evelyn Marblestmie did not neg lect her mother’s suggestion of en tertaining for the minister’s son. “It will be very informal,” she explained to Dale over the tele phone. “A few couples that want to meet you. I thought we could dance. Bridge table for the hope less addicts. Something to eat later. Fm depending on you.” ‘Til be there. Thanks.”Dale no sooner had hung up than he wondered if it would- be possible for him to call for Lee the night of the party. He would find out be fore someone else beat him to it. “Fm sorry, but I can’t say yes,” Lee told him readily when he dropped in .to call and proffer his request “Evelyn has arranged for my escort. It’s a quaint custom we luive here. Pliny Morehead is the victim. One of the stand-bys. He’s a nice boy. Tou’ll like him.”' “I don’t like his name. And I shan’t, like, him." . Dale wished afterwards that he had taken advantage of. toe occa- osion to inquire what this Pliny per son and toe other males would wear. Evelyn had called it an in formal affair, but he didn’t feel sure. He finally elected to wear a dinner jacket.“I was beginning to worry about you,” Evelyn told him when she greeted, him in toe hall. “Tou’ve been very neglectful of me, too. But you do look nice,” she added graciously, eyeing his slender fig ure and well-tailored clothes. “So do you,” he replied with a little bow. “Gorgeous.” “Come in and meet the crowd.” There was but one name that impressed itself on Dale’s memory. Pliny Morehead. A portly youth with thinning blend hair and pale eyes. "And here is an old friend of yours, Mr. Farwell."Lee’s brown eyes smiling up from toe depths of a big chair. Lee in a little russet dress that matched her hair. Russet slippers. Slie looked sweet. “Of course. How are you. Miss Brady?” “Very well, Mr. FarwelL Fm delighted to meet you again.” Later, toe rugs were rolled back and the broadcasting stations searched for dance music. “I didn't know .it,” Dale remarked complacently, “but Fve been want* ing to' dance with you aU my life.” “Go on. That’s very pretty.” “Thanks. That’s anotter thing Fve been wanting to teU you. Tou look very sweet. It’s your dress, I think. Tou make; me think of an autumn leaf.” “In toe ‘sere and yeUow,’ you mean. That’s very candid but not comforting. Don’t you know you -should be dancing this with your hostess?” “She’s bridging. I don’t play and I won’t be a kibitzer.”“Then you should be paying more attention to some of these nice girls.- Remember I. have to go on living here. This is toe fourth time you’ve danced with me.” “It’s only the fifth. And I -still don’t like Pliny.” “Maybe I do.” - Evelyn , soon found a substitute for her place- in toe bridge game and appropriated her guest of honor for toe remainder of the evening. “Stay for. a little while and talk,” she commanded' when the others made ready to leave. “Tou’re sup posed to tell me that you’ve, had a pleasant evening, you know.”. “Of. course I did. Marvelous, thank you,” Dale said politely.' "Are you sure you mean me? Not Lee?” “Tou.”“I didn’t, know. After all,- you didn’t seem able to tear yourself away from her, until ! .helped. She is sweet..- But you needn’t have made it quite- so obvious, do you think?” Evelyn smiled sweetly. “And huw about some golf tomor* TOWj if iFs clear. We haven’t been out to toe country club for ages, you know. Or had you noticed?” Tm not sure that I can. Do you mind if-I call you - later—” Dale glanced, at the distant hall clock— today?” “Never mind. Some other time will do . . . After'you get caught up with your work.” - Dale extinguished his cigarette and rose to his feet. “I must be going,” he said shortly. His sense of irritation persisted as he strode through toe dark streets. Perhaps he had devoted himself to Lee rather too conspicu ously, But what of it? She had tried to teU him toe same thing. In a tactful good-natured way, though. She was like that. Sweet. That word always came to him when he thought of her. Too bad if he had hurt Evelyn’s feelings. Funny . . . about women.When he reached toe parsonage, Dale was surprised to catch toe faint notes of toe piano. His father was playing. The one lighted lamp brought out Farweil’s rugged features in bold relief. His chin was sunk on his breast. The dark eyes were half closed. From the keys came toe stately solemn strains of Tschai- kowsky’s "Andante.” Dale caught his breath sharply. He moved on tiptoe towards toe foot of the stairs. “Dale!” “Tes, Father.” “Where have you been?” "Miss Marblestone had a few peo ple in tonight. She asked me over." “I have not heard you say anything recently about going back to toe university. Have you changed your plans?” “Well, not exactly. To tell you toe truth, Father, I’ve been' think ing about toe finances. After toe first of toe year, I’ll be making my expenses there and a little more. Then I want to find a real job. In the meantime . . .” “And in toe meantime?” “I can carry on a good deal of my work here by myself. Fve been a rather steady drain on you toe- past few years. And what I have left of my own money will last me longer here. Unless you’re thinking of raising my board.” He smiled a little at his suggestion. “Finances need not enter into your decision,” his father reminded gravely. “Tou mean . . . you think I should go back?" “Tou will have to settle the mat ter in your own way.” FarweU rose to his feet. “ It is late. Good night.” Lee drove to Dale’s house one day. “I thought maybe you would like to ride,” she said when he ran out in answer to the honking of her motor horn . -. . If you’re not too busyi-and if there is any of the country around here you haven’t explored.”“Sure, I’d like to! Only—” he glanced down, at his jersey. “I’m not dressed exactly.” . "Of course you are. Look at me.” "I have been.” Dale already was opening the car door. “Let’s go." “AU right FU fool you. I’ve brushing up on my history so that I could talk intelligently to you when I had toe chance. How would you like to cover the retreat of the-hos tile British nation? Over to Stsiten, I mean." “Great!. .IS it very far?” "Not with me at toe wheel. There’s a smaU ferry , over , to toe island that runs, every so often:” Dale entered wholeheartedly into toe excursion. “And WiU you look' at the old houses scattered along here!” was- his delighted exclamation as they followed toe road along Stattoi Island’s northern rim. “They must have been standing at toe time of the Revolution. If only they could teU us what they have seen. What stories!” “I suppose-they; could,” Lee admitted. - A- few moments later, she turned toe car about on toe summit of a small elevation and shut off the motor.: For a Uttle time she settled' back in her corner of the seat watching her companion. He was staring dreamily at toe scene below, apparently lost in his historical reflections.:"I am still here,” Lee suggested hopefuUy. “Oh! Fm sorry, Lady Lee.” “But I can’t very weU help it. And why that name?” ' “I meant I was sorry if I seemed to be wool gathering. And I think toe name suits you.”“Do you know you’re funny. Dale? I’ve never known anyone just like you. It’s almost as if you’d forgotten to quite grow up. It makes me wish'I had known you when you were a small boy.” “Fm not so sure what I was like. But I know that everything would have been altogether different if we could, have had . . . Elaine.” “Elaine?” she repeated hesitat ingly. “My mother. Tou see, I can’t quite remember her. I wish I could.” “So do I, Dale. TOU you teU me something about her, Dale? Unless you’d rather not.”In answer he fumbled a worn wal let from , his pocket. Out came a small .leather - case. In toe case was a photograph. . “That was Elaine."“Dale! How very lovely!” Lee exclaimed softly, studying toe pic ture. Then she murmured, as if to herself: “Lily Maid of Astolat." Dale caught his breath sharply. “Tou thought of it, too! She has always been that to me,” Dale reflected. - “Ever since I was old enough for my father to tell me about her. I have wondered some times- that he didn’t object to my calling her Elaine instead of moth er. But he never did. He was the one who sent me to Arthur’s court in the. .first place.” ,.; “What do you mean?”“Well, you see, father looked after most of my early education. And he used to read to me by toe hour. I became a disciple of old Malory when I was pretty small. Ratoer a rabid one, as I think about it now.”“Tou mean you liked stories of knights? Chivalry? I understand that.” “Perhaps. I think most boys get toe fever at one time or another. I w^it to extremes. I always had toe house littered up trying to make armor out of pasteboard and tin cans. I was forever playing at be ing a knight. It was a good thing, in one-way. !developed a regular mania for physical culture.” Dale smiled to himself. “I know I used my desire for deeds of prowess to get into scraps with toe other ..kids,” “Toung Galahad." “That was the general idea. By way of squaring .myself, I would stand in front of Elaine’s picture and- fell her how I had ridden out with her scarf 'on my lance—that sort of thing.” “I thought it was something like that:” Lee nodded wisely. “It ex plains you. But it makes me want to aSk you about other things.” “Such as?"“Well', your father.' I feel it ev ery time I look at him. It’s some thing in his eyes, I think. I can’t explain it very well, but . . . He Was very devoted to your mother, wasn’t he?”“Tes.” .... “I • was sure. He- carries her scarf, too. Perhaps I shouldn't say that.” .(TO BE CONTif(VED) Self-Pity Undermines Health, Poisons. the Soul and Destroys Our Happiness To Ieam the lessons that life would teach, to profit by them, to-be made, finer as a personality, to be made perfect by suffering—that is what it is to turn life into an experience of genuine value, writes Winfred Rhoades in Forum.Self-pity breaks down toe mind, poisons toe soul, undermines the health of toe body,, prevents right ful relations with other people, and destroys the happiness both of toe individual who permits it to take hold of him and of those who have to live with him. There is perhaps no more disintegrating emotion to be-found in the whole roster.Many a case that comes to a doc tor in toe; guise- of/physical breakdown is primarily little more than .& surrender of the spirit. "In cases- in which some specific malady is ac tually present,- it can. be toe- attitude of. toe spirit that keeps , toe malady dominant and makes -' it worse. - That is why there is a men- til aspect of medicine-and^why it is being increasingly i recognized and included in the - treatment o f sick- It- seems a .bit surprising-that it has taken toe medical profession so long to realize that) when a man is sick, the whole man needs treatment.- ..Not merely his stomach or his circulatory system need attention, but also toe part of him that thinks and feels and wills, that desires and schemes and makes ef forts, that feels disappointment and resentment and humiliation. Men and women are something more than physical and chemical organisms needing to be toned up or ; put in repair. They . are even- more toan-harassed strugglers needing help in toe finding of jobs or toe composition of family difficulties. They- may need medicine. -But certainly. they need insight and vision. .. ■ ■ . -'Acrobaties .:Acrobatics; first meant “rope- dancing,’’.now refers to contortions, balancing,-' tumbling * and 'trapeze work.

It’s so easy; a detailed sew chart comes with each pattern.' And you can wear much prettier materials when you sew your own—at big savings, too.Afternoon Dress With Shirring. Shirring is one of toe smartest details you can choose—it’s used just this way in new and expensive models—on toe shoulders, to give fullness over toe bust, and at toe sides only of the skirt. Thus your dress has animation and grace, and yet toe front and back are plain and won’t crush, and muss when you sit down. In dim ity, voile, organdy, handkerchief lawn or mull, with a youthful tie belt and frills of lace, this will be toe most flattering frock you own. Bolero Frock for Little Girls. With or without toe sleeveless bolero; this dress is a perfect dar-' ling for little girls! It’s so simple and yet it has loads of style, with its very puffed sleeves, very full skirt, and little round collar. No tice how short toe bolero is—that’s the smart new kind.

Child Labor Clause Slip ped In Law. The White House .is having diffi culty in finding a qualified man to accept appointment to administer the Wage-Hour act. Several pros pects have been cool toward over tures, on the ground that it will be a thankless task. The latest talk is of naming a Southerner to placate opposition to the law in this section. One of the provisions shipped in to tbe Wage-Hour law. almost un noticed by the public, gives the Fed eral government the power to pro hibit, control and regulate child la bor. In 1924,14 years ago. Congress submitted a proposed amendment to the Consrition conferring this power upon the Federal government, but thus far it has been impossible to get the required number of states to ratify the amendment. “Oppresive child labor” is defined by the act as a condition of employ ment under- which any employee under the age of 16 years is. employ ed by any person other than - a par ent or person standing in the place of a parent. The act forbids em ployment of children between tbe ages of 16 and 18 years in hazard ous occupations or under conditions detrimental to health or well being. The chief of the Children’s Bureau shall provide by regulation or order that the employment of children be tween the ages of 14 and 16 years in occupations other than manufactur ing and mining shall not be deemed constitute’’oppressive child labor” if tbe chief of the Bureau deter mines that such employment is con fined to periodsl which will not in terfere with the schooling of the children nor with their health and general well being. “Hold Robinson And Save Tbe State.” We find the following in Charity and Children: ’’Since, childhood we have heard the expression. ’Hold Robeson and save the state.’ Recently we learn ed the purporred origin of the ex pression. It seems that there was a close contest between the Democrats, Republicans, Negroes. Third Party or something. AU of the state had been heard from except Robeson; The vote was dose. It was known that the Democrats would have to carry Robeson but the number of votes needed to carry the state, was undertemined. The telegram was sent 'Hold Robeson and save the state,’ and waB understood to mean mean hold back your report until we know just how many votes will be needed to carry the state and then report that number. We. of course,, do not vouch for tbe truth of tbe foregoing.’" The above is not a legend but a fact. TheonlydiscrepanCy is that nogroes or Third Party was concentr ed except where Democrats like it was tbe-case in Halifax county be fore tbe negroes were disfranchised, allowed them to vote and counted their vote for the Democratic parly. That is changed now and the bulk of the negroeB vote Democratic and are welcomed by Roosevelt and other Democratic-leaders with open arms. But back'to the “Hold RobeBon and Save the State,” it was absolute; Iy necessary that for the Democrats to carry the state they had to have Robeson, hence tbe message. It was stolenali right and. the Democrats continued in power.—Ex. State Peacb Crop Sells Below 1937.

President Roosevelt does well to expose, the proposition which Gov ernor Chandler of Kentucky at tempted to put over with him, tbe chief executive, in the matter of making Senator Logan a Federal jurist so that the Governor could go to the United States Senate. Such a project to barter and traffic with political currency in judicial appointments .must have, as the President says, “placed him in a most disagreeable position.” The President, -however, would show up much better had he made public this censurable effort on the part of Governor Chandler shortly after it was received early in Febru- ary, and not have waited until its use may now sound tbe death knell in the Governor’s campaign.against Senator Barkley, tbe President’s “My'dear Alben,” as’tt may have been intended to do. ’ The postponed publicity and its strategic use by the President inci dent to his own trip to Kentucky to aid Senator Barkley to beat Gover nor Chandler suggests the- question of whether Mr. Roosevelt would ever have publicized the correspon dence except for the damaging effect he hopes it will have upon the Governor’s Senatorial aspirations. That puts a sizeable fly in the ointment and gives the suggestion of mere expediency to. the . Presi dent’s virtue in the matter.—Char lotte Observer. . Boaster Breaks Jail Tbird Time Same Way. One man who boasts of his prison record is Harold (Happy) Paxson, who is proud of the. fact that he has been jailed or hunted for 16 years. Paxson has just escaped from tbe Logan County Jail, in Belletoun- taine, O , for. the third time in the short space of 12' days. After picking the locks on a. pair of handcuffs that fastened his wrists together and on another pair that held his-left wrist to a chain inside his cell, Paxson crowded bis body through a ventilator,, out an attic skylight, and slid to tbe ground a- Iong a lightning rod, just as be had done twice before. Paxson was recaptured both-times and placed iu solitary confinement. Abnost One-Fourth. Taxes will consume 24 cents, of every worker in 1933 as compared with 5 cents per dollar that went for taxes in 1890. according to the latest tax studies based on official records of local; state and federal govern ments. In 1890, 5 cents out of every .wage, earner’s dollar was sufficient to cov er tbe cost of all government ser vices. local state and federal, leav ing 95 cents for living expenses, re creation, and savings, . ". By 1912-the cost of goverment had so increased that 8.4 -cents out of every dollar of earned income was required, and was levied In various forms of taxes. By 1929,12 cents out of every , in come dollar was required. In 1933 the 24 cents that will be collected by all of the various taxing and licensing agencies of govern ment out of each dollar earned will fall short by 7 cents per dollar of paying the total cost.

Wajks 20 Miles For Government Largess. A .68-year old Avery county farm er who doesn’t mind walking 40 miles in one day, dropped into the county agent’s office at Newland, one day the past week-to get his AAA com pliance check for $15.. He is Frank Jones, of the Beech Mountain section. 20 miles from Newland. He told county Agent C. B. Baird that he had left home at 5 o’clock and after _a brief rest be would be ready to start back. Jones voiced the opinion that a farmer’s life is tbe most independ endent of all, and that there is no reason why a farmer cannot make a good living if he is able and willing to work, During bis 40 years of married life, in which be - reared a family of children, Jones has never bad to buy a pound of meat. The aged man and his wife now live alone, their children having mar. ried and left home. Baird continu ed. Tbe couple keeps everything in the home and around the yard scru pulously neat and clean. The yard and walk are bordered with flowers. A pig is in the hog lot, a cow in the pasture, and a good cold spring is not far from the house. - “This, with two pleasant old folks, makes the home an ideal place to visit.” Baird got so interested in talking with Jones that he invited him to dinner, then drove him home. Jones said he had intended to walk back; but admitted that he wasn’t averse to riding. Borah Is 73. Senator William E, Borah, the “Lion of Idaho,” celebrated bis 73rd birthday Wednesday, of the past week by speaking a word of cheer for young people who are having a hard time getting ahead. ‘I still thick that the young man with wealth and everything, handed to him has less chance to succeed than the fellow who makes bis own way, if he has the proper Muff in him,” the dean of the Senate said earnesily. The veteran Republican declined at first to grant a birthday interview saying he wanted to forget his age. But at’last he yielded. WaB it true, a reporter asked, that Borah as a young Kansas law yer struck out for the Pacific coast, fan out of funds in Idaho, and stay ed Boise until the state started send ing him to the United States Senate back in 1907? “Yes, sir. that’s absolutely true,” he said, and a smile softened the features of the “Lion of Idaho.” Borah’s greatest ambition was to be President of the United States but the crown has been denied him and he is too old now to think of en gaging in a presidential campaign. He was re-elected in 1936 to another term in Congress, bis sixth, and his time does not expire until 1942. Chargs Deesertion.

Wlwre Will It All End? Aeks Many. By Fank P. Litschert. Now that the famous and much advertised four and a half billion dollar pump priming program is ac tually in effect and some, financial experts are looking forward hopeful ly to a spending splurge that may help business at least temporarily this fall, other students of our poli tical and economic affairs are begin ning to wonder as to some of the significance of certain phase; of the so-called recovery spending bill. For example. tboBe interested in the welfare of our utilities, great end small, and the number comprises the small the stock and bond-holder in great number, are beginning to speculate as to the exact meaning of the promise made in the Senate by Barkley of Kentucky' when there was a fight in that august body to keep the government from" going in to competion with private business. One of the first to recall this pledge in Fulton Lewis, Jr , veteran Wash ington newspaper correspondent, re cently in one of his daily broadcast over a national network of the- Mu tual system. Hie statements have served to bring the matter into the limelight again. It will be remembered that when the fight was on in tbe Senate to block the expenditure of relief mon ey for the construction of utility plants in communities which al ready had good service from private companies. Senator Barkley, to al lay the strife which was getting out of hand, and had resulted in.a safe guarding amendment, brought a pledge from the President to the af fect that no funds would be granted for municipaUy. owned power Plsnts when privately owned power plants were. giving good service at fait rates, unless tbe city first made a bonafide offer to buy the private power company at a fair price. With this understanding, the fight to stop more government competition w: s stopped. But Lewis points ont an interest ing fact. Insomecitiesthereare already two power plants—one mu nicipal and one private—and some of these municipal plants are now ash ing for more of the taxpayers’ monev to put themselvesIn better position to compete with the private utilities. For example, in Cleveland there is a big private utility and a small muni cipal plant. But this municipal plant .some time ago asked Unde Sam for $750,000. Now with tbe pump priming bill in effect it is ask ing for $2,000,000. , Other publicly owned plants, competing with pri vate industries, are said to be get ting ready to follow suit. Now, Lewis asks, what about this? Will granting money to these public ly owned plants already in existence to fumish competition to private business, be in violation of the Rooae' veit- to - BaraIey - to - the - Senate pledge? What Barkley actually said was: “It is not the President’s.pur. pose to allocate these funds from these appropriations to set. up com peting public utility plants.” Those familiar with th e adminijtration trend, of thought are confident "-that money wilt.be furnished to these municipal plants for expansion and competition on the: theory the Pre sident’s piedge applies only to ’’new and unconstructed” plsnts. They feel that the socialist tendency s- mong the pump primers at Washing ton is so strong they will let nothing stanid in their way that can be a- voided or surmounted. In the meantime many observers are asking. “Where will it all end? Howcan we help business by spend ing the people-monev to compete with private effort? And isn’t it un fair to spend the taxpayers’ money, and the utilities are big taxpayers, to -establish ruinous tax-free -com petition to destroy some of the -.tax payers-their selves?” You find the answer. - An Incomplete Gettys burg Speech, ft A Rocse elt critic writes in to*, quire “What about the- PresT * eulogizing Abe Lincoln at Get" burg and leaving off Lee and Jeffer^ son Davis?” Jf’lf It is not the dfsire or purpoee.f-UC The Observer to pursure this quest** tion of criticism of Mr. Roosevelt{ other than to remark that, however ( timely and worthy was his kindlyjre-A? ferences to the compassionate-hoart-|| ed Lincoln, it does seem that-be^. could faaye found in tbe superb and- ’ illustrious character of Robert ;E.’-n Lee some inspiration for a work of s commendation and voice of applause,’ even though he could have thought - of nothing to say praisefully of the > patriotism and indomitable prin ciples for which Jefferson Davis also acted back yonder in the Tragic Era. - —Charlotte Observer. igging Its Own Grave.

I can talk about it to you. .I’ve never tried to tell anybody before. Never spoke of it to Fmk even. And I know him better than anybody. But I never found anyone who I thought would under stand. Until now. I think it’s because of your mother,” he decided. “Would you mind if I tried to tell jousomething?” . “Of course not, Dale.” “It’s a queer thing—” he frowned thoughtfully, staring away again Into the distance—“I doubt if a boy ever .grew up with more beautiful idealS'Of a mother he couldn’t remember.' ' Father did it all. I’m aot.sure I;<:an make this clear. But 9 mnSt have been almost a passion with him... To be sure that I loved my mother. He wanted me to be-. Seve that she was beautiful and perfect. It wasn’t difficult to make me understand that she was beau tiful. I have two pictures of her. But the beauty of her character was lnilt for me by father. It grew into something very near idolatry. Can you understand at all what I’m toying to express?” “Yes.” “That’s the way it was all the time I was growing up. I don’t mind telling you I’m glad now. Unconsciously, I think, I tried to be what Elaine would have expected. Flease don’t get the idea that I’ve been morally perfect. But I’d rather like to have you know I’ve never Ane anything I’m particularly ashamed of. I can thank father for that—and plenty of other things." Almost no words were spoken on the homeward trip. Dale sat wrapped in thought. Lee devoted herself to driving, making, as much ^eed as the road and traffic per- . mitted. Later, Dale called attention to the soaring arch of the Bayonne Bridge with its twinkling lamps spanning the purple murk. “Looks like a rainbow going home late,” he observed. Lee smiled and made no reply. Kothing more was said until the car neared the parsonage. “I’m going to let you out here,” Lee ex plained. Then, when Dale alighted aid turned .to speak, she checked Um. “I know what you’re going to say. Flease let me thank you instead. Good night.” CHAPTER VI : Jonathan Farwell sat at his study table. Under his right hand lay a pile of loose sheets. His stub pen was traversing one after the otter m !relentless fashion, like a plough - moving at high speed across white fields. As each page was finished, it ,was . thrust aside and the pen continued its drive. ' So were the cler- IpymaiiyS sermons drafted. To the final word. .. There was a sudden pause as the worker lifted his bead at the sound «f a step on the stair. “Is that you, Dale? Please come Kere.” The pen hung suspended above the paper. ■ Farwell looked ap into his son’s face. “ I meant to tell you before, Dale, and it slipped my mind. We are having guests for dinner Thursday.” "You don’t mean . . '. Not to- morrow!” “Yes. Tomorrow. I hope you have no other engagement." The minister’s eyes wandered bade to bis unfinished page. “But I have! I’m . . Who are jbur guests, Father?” . “Mr. Marblestone and his family are dining here with us.” A slight emphasis on the last word. “Oh!”“I wished to pay that one obligation while I was sure you would be in town.” The pen crossed out an undesired word.“That does put me in a jam!” Dale exclaimed in frank dismay. “It’s rather late to . . .”“Yes,” his father agreed. “Quite too late to recall our invitation. Your place, of course, is at our table. Please be good enough to ar range it that way.”Farwell was writing again. The incident appeared to be dosed. Dale turned on his heel without a word and sought his own room. With the door closed behind him, he stood staring out the window in helpless wrath.Thursday. Lee’s twentieth birth day. She was having a dinner party. He had been counting the days almost. And now . . . Lee had been as excited as a little kid when she told him about the party. “It’s going to be ever so informal, Dale. Just some of the crowd I grew up with. And you.” “It’s mighty nice of you to include me,” had been his grateful reply. “Wild horses couldn’t keep, me away.- You know, something tells me it’s going to be the nicest party I ever went to.”"Nonsense! You’re getting your expectations raised too high.” “Aren’t you going to have ice cream?” “Maybe.”“And you’re going to be there. So it will be the nicest.”“I wonder . . .” Lee had flashed it.” He blurted it out with no pre amble. “Father has just told me he is entertaining company for din ner tomorrow night. Heexpectsme to be on hand, of course, and . . .” “But you must, Dale. , If your fa ther needs you.”“That’s sweet of you. I wanted to tell you . . “I understand. It’s quite all right.” Lee said it very quietly. "It isn’t!” Dale exclaimed miserably. “I may be a little late, but ...” “I understand,” Lee repeated. “Good-by.” She hung up. Dale slowly replaced the receiver as he heard the click at the other end of the line. He said one word under his breath.Pink Mulgrew outdid himself to make that first formal dinner at the parsonage “something special swell.” "I got an idea,” he said affably to Dale, “these swells wouldn’t mind showin’ me up if I give ’em a chance. You said you ate at their shack once. Who waited on table?” “A maid passed the things.” “I hoped you’d say that. I learned to deal ’em off the arm a long time ago. But when I was in Chi last time I went and bought me a book on how to buttle. Gives the whole works. I’ve been wantin’ to try it out.” Pink’s white coat was starched to such a degree that it creaked pleasantly when its wearer received the Marblestones at the front door and relieved them of their wraps.Pink’s dignified mien left nothing to be desired, albeit he narrowly “Of course not, Dale.” him a little smile and left that sen tence unfinished. How could he tell her at almost file last minute he wasn’t coming to the wonderful party? Hanged if he would! It wasn’t fair. Dale turned with. a. clenched fist and scowled at the punching bag hanging near by. That would help. Too childish. And noisy. - Instead, he stalked downstairs and into the kitchen where his spirits were not lightened at the sight of Pink polishing the best silver. “Hi, Md.” - “Look here. Whafs all this about company for dinner tomorrow night?” “You mean that . . . Quarry out fit?" “Marblestones.” “I never can remember that moniker. They’re cornin’. That's all I know. Except the dominie told me to try and dish up somethin’ spe cial swell. Don’t tell me you wasn’t in on it.” “I wasn’t,” Dale snapped. “It’s no joke. I’ve accepted an invitation to the Bradys’ for dinner to morrow night. It’s Lee’s birthday.” Pink emitted a low whistle. “Say! That does sort of put you on a spot. Well, it’s what you get for two-timing. I’m sorry. No kidding. The dominie’s lookin' for you to be here, I take it.” “He just told me so. But I can’t— now,” Dale answered. “Wait a minute, kid. You can’t go and-let him down like that It’s the first party he’s throwed here. Don’t walk out on him. That Brady gal seems, like a nice little sport Go tell her what- you’re up against She’ll see it your way.” Dale strolled into the lower hall and paused irresolutely. hear the telephone.. Pink was right, he concluded moodily; After all, it would be best to tell her. Dde rather hoped she would refuse* to accept such an eleventh-hour excuse. Then he could submit the matter to his father again. , • Reluctantly he dialed the Brady number. A familiar voice answered. “Say, Lee . . . I’m up against repressed a whistle of admiration when he assisted the younger wom an out of her long coat and found himself staring at a generous disr play of white spinal column. Sarah Marblestone rustled in ebony silk and jet, as if a Sunday service were in prospect Even Henry had entered into the spirit of formality and had donned a tail coat after his day in the bank. His first 'move, when he led his family'idto the parlor, was to make for the fireplace where a wood blaze crackled cheerily. He spread his feet well apart, thrust his hands under the skirt of his coat and beamed upon his host."This is what I call real com fort, Doctor! Radiators may be all right, but I like to soak heat into my back. Always did.” Evelyn dropped into a chair and engaged Doctor Farwell in a direct conversation that gave him scant opportunity to devote attention to her parents. . Dale’s entrance and quiet greeting to the guests furnished the first diversion. “I was beginning to be afraid you weren’t here,” Evelyn suggested to him, under cover of the general talk. “I didn’t like to ask.” “Of course I was here. It took me longer to dress than I expected. Wanted to look my best.” He mustered a smile as he said it Pink aided the situation by ap pearing at the moment to announce in a sepulchral voice: “Dinner is served, Doctor Far- well.” Despite his own low spirits, Dale found himself suddenly sharing the butler’s anxiety that everything .be accomplished in due form and hastened to post himself behind Mrs. Marblestone’s chair. Doctor Farwell said grace to Mar blestone’s very evident relief. In the intense silence that followed, Pink commenced serving the bouil lon. All the guests seemed to fall under the spell of the butler, as if uncertain what to make of the novelty. Evelyn was the first to recover. "Your table is lovely, Doctor,” she said to her host 4fThose flowers are gorgeous. Someone here has wonderful taste. Don’t you think so, Mother?” Evelyn was regarding Dale with a smile as she asked the question. Mrs. Marblestone was preoccupied with a study of the. silver that flanked her place impres sively. She offered no comment The first course' succeeded in loosening the banker’s tongue. The Yorkshire pudding had its particular appeal. 4 ‘I don’t remember ever eating anything just like that, Doctor,” he insisted luippily over a second portion. “Do yoii mean to tell me that your man cooked this dinner? Where did you pick him up?” “Mulgrew was injured serving overseas. He has been with me almost from the time he recovered.” “That reminds me.” Marblestone* looked: curiously, at his. host. “Someone was telling me the other day that you were in the army yourself. Funny I hadn’t heard it before. Is that correct?” “I was, for a time. Mrs. Marble- stone, may I help you to something?” The dinner proved a distinct ordeal to Dale. In spite of his re solves, he found his thoughts straying continually to that other table where he should have been a guest at the moment Lee’s eager little face and laughing dark eyes haunted him. She had said it was all right. But was it? Would it be? He must see her as soon as possible. Try .to make her understand this wasn’t his fault “Do you play?” asked Evelyn of Dale after dinner. “No indeed."’ “Then your father's the musician. Isn’t he?”Dale hesitated. This situation fitted exactly into the intolerable eve ning. He had done his best to conceal any display of resentment, but he was aware of the displeasure that would be roused if he answered in the affirmative."Doesn’t he play?” Evelyn insist ed.“Why—sometimes.” It was out now. Evelyn-turned Jn triumph, to her host “There now, Doctor! I was sure. Please play for me.” “I am a very indifferent perform* er„ Miss. Marblestone.” Farwell’s voice was low.' “I should much pre fer listening to you. Allow me . . “Oh, I wouldn’t dream of it! Mamma will tell you I haven’t touched our piano in ages. Please, Doctor."(TOBECONTmJED) Science Nabs Insect “Villain*” and Halts Threatened N ations'Trade Rift How a bacteriologist settled an acrimonious dispute which threat, ened to disrupt trade relations be tween certain Latin-American coun tries and the United States by discovering that insect pests were the real “villains” in the plot is told by Dr. Edith E. Ware in a survey of international studies in the United States issued by the Columbia University Press. Hides,- a staple export from the Latin-American countries to ' this country, were declared by. the-. American purchasers to be anything but first grade when received.: The shippers, however, maintained-that those same hides were prime quality and in perfect condition when they left the South Amencan port “Each, group blamed the-- other for dishonest practices,” says.Uie report of the study. . “The hostile feelings toward the United States and'toward American business men that developed during the controver sy became a matter of great concern to the Department of State. In vestigations through representatives of the bureau of: foreign and domestic commerce < At'this end exonerat ed the American importers. Diplo matic channels fatted to find any solution. "As it happened, a bacteriologist, hearing about the controversy, guessed that some insect or bacteria may have multiplied rapidly while the cargoes were passing through equatorial heat and that such pests may have caused deterioration.“Experiments proved this guess to be the explanation; moreover, a proper protective treatment of the hides prior to shipment was discovered. “Recriminations and developing antagonisms injurious to trade and amicable international relations were forgotten. when the real vil lains—insect pests—were destroyed: Had no solution been found in this particular case, the resultant breakdown in trade would have caused the Treasiny department to be. con cerned oyer the international payments between the two countries, since ability to pay for United States goods would; have been cur tailed- by: unwillingness to sell dis- advantageously to the -Americae market.” ' Frosting a Cake for Judges to Scnnple K A professional cake baker, frosting one of the hundreds of cakes which were made up in the Experimental Kitchen Laboratory, main tained by C.

Idaho; Jean Guthrie, 4712 Camp bell St., Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Walter Richter, Bonduel,' Wis.; By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS XTATURALLY, I am accustomed -L ’ to seeing exhibits of delicious and interesting foods in the Exper imental Kitchen Laboratory that I maintain in New York City. But in all the years of its existence, it has never been a busier nor a more inviting place than during the last few weeks when the home economists on my staff have been busily testing and judging the many fine cake recipes sub mitted by readers of this paper , in our recent Cake Recipe Contest Imagine, if you can, a big cheerful and colorful kitchen filled with long tables upon which row after row of handsome cakes were arranged—proudly testifying to the skill of the homemakers who cherish the recipes from which they were made. Every Type of Cake Entered. A whole tableful of white cakes, with and without icing. Chocolate and cocoa cakes of every possible type. All manner of cakes, fragrant and delicious — spice, ice cream, honey, caramel, maple syrp, nut, date, pineapple, or ange, lemon, butterscotch, jam, banana, raisin, oatmeal, cocoanut and marble cakes. Cakes bated in long sheets, square cakes, round cakes, layer cakes. Olit fashioned cakes -from, grand mothers’ recipe books. Very modem and up-to-date cakes. And even one that was said to have been a favorite with General Rob ert E. Lee. I’ve never seen anything to compare with the collec tion, even at the biggest State Fair! Do you wonder that the home economists on my staff required several weeks to pick the win ners? For with such a wealth’of exceptional cakes from which to choose, selecting those for top honors, was indeed difficult. The cake bakers were trained for their work. They followed the recipes precisely. They measured accurately. They; checked oven temperatures. - The scoring system was highly scientific. And we can say with conviction that no matter how dose the race, the winners defi nitely outpointed even their clos- est rivals. First Prize Winner. The first prize of $25.00 went: to Mrs. D. F.

Davle county needs some bigger, better and larger schools, but the Iaxpavers declare that they are al ready taxed beyond their capacity to pay. If an election was called to vote additional bonds for schools or any other purpose in Davie county, we believe the people would give an overwhelming majority against put. ting an additional debt on the coun Vy. Why can’t the Federal Govern ment donate some of the millions it Is spending for swimming pools, clearing forests, building play grounds and a thousand and one other things, to the building of modern school houses in sections where they are badly needed? Why not take some ol North Carolina’s surplus millions, which is being raised by the sales tax, and use it In building school bouses instead of {tatting hundreds of pie hunters on the state pay rolls at high salaries to do nothing? - Oor Fortieth Year. - With this issue The Record be gins its fortieth year of service to the people of Mpcksville and Davie county. In all these years the paper has changed bands but once. The present editor and owner ar rived in Mocksville 31 years ago to day and took charge of the paper. The Record was' founded in 1899 by Ei H. Morris, who owned and edited it for eight years. Many Changes have taken place since the present editor arrived here. There is only one firm in business here that was operating in 1907—C. C. Jianford Sons Co. The town I practically doubled its population, and wonderful changes have taken place throughout the county. The Record has tried to serve the pub- He to the best of its ability. We have .met with many reverses, but have managed to get the paper out on time every week for the past 31 years. ' We appreciate the loyal support the merchants and profes sional men have given us, and' the 'hurdreds of faithful subscribers who have stood by us during all these 'years: To those who have furnish ed us the news from various sec tions of the county, we owe our sincere thanks. .

Nottb Carolina’s 1938 cotton crop is estimated at 911,000 acres In cultivation as of July 1, accordr ing to the report released today by the cooperative crop reporting ser vice of the United States and North Carolina departments of agricul ture. This estimate is 82 percent of the acreage in cultivation on this same date last year and is only 70 per cent of the 10 year average plantings from 1927-1936. The total acreage planted in tbs United States was 26,904,000 as compared with 34,471,000 planted in 1937, a decrease of 22 : percent, The 18 percent decrease in acreage for North Carolina was the smallest for any state except Tennessee and was 6 percent less than the aver age for all states. Last year North Carolina har vested 780,000 bales from 1,103.' 000 acres, with an average yield of 338 pounds of lint per acre. The ten-year average abandonment from 1928 101937 is one-percent.. . A Major Difference Of Opinion. Administration minds' are not agreed as to the position of the South in respect to the remainder of the nation in the present-day economic picture. It is well enough known what the President’s view is. He says the South is in such a miserable plight of unbalance that it is throwing the economics of the entire nation out of gear. But this is not what Secretarv Wallace thinks of the situation un less he has caugut the contagion of mind-changing which is so; prevalent in Washington. ‘Only a little while ago the Secre tary of Agriculture said that “The Advance Of The South Is Giving MomentumToThe National Pro gram Of Recovery.” Shutyour eyes and take your pick ot these two antipodal views. —Charlotte Observer.

PARTON ."^EW YORK-T-Several years be- fore Romain Rolland finished “Jean Christophe,” Leo Tolstoi called him the warden of the con science of Europe.: In '• his -quarter- century exile in Switzerland,' ’" he; has re m a in e d “above the battle,” warningpf war, decrying hatred, pleading for peace and understanding. ,His has been a voice crying in the wilderness. His exile ended, he returns to France, “an' old man, broken and despair ing,” as the news dispatches report. The world.seems to have little heed ed his impassioned appeals. He wants to die-in Clamecy, the village where he was born. The greatest novel of a century, possibly of many cen turies, ‘‘lean Christophe” has been called by great critics - and multitudes of lesser lights.It was published in 1913. This : writer has found few young per- : sons, even those majoring in j literature, who have read it.He has found others who have never heard of Romain Rolland, the Nobel peace prize winner exiled from his country, while Carl von Ossietsky, German Nobel peace prize, winner,' was impoverished, jailed and harried to his death in the same “years between.” There is in this age swift obsolescence in the spiritual heritage as well as in machines. But another, even greater teacher, looking sadly down on the multir tude from a hill in Jerusalem, was also unheeded: “How often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens' under her wings, and ye would not!” But neither He nor His teaching was al together forgotten. There will also be those who will remember Ro- main Rolland. When he was exiled from France, vast sums of money were offered him if he would go to America, to write and lecture. . Publicity, or any form of self-exploitation, is to him profoundly : distasteful. He withdrew to a se cluded villa near Zurich, Switz- / erland. ‘ There is one definite attitude in all these post-war writings. He had no faith in “move ments,” in “idolo- gies,” right or left. He repulsed Henri Barbusse, his clarte group and the various “united fronts,” as he did the emissaries of bloody reaction from the right. He knew that the righteous can be as cruel as the wicked, once they find reliance on force. Like the great German Fichte, whom he esteemed, he believed only in the “inner light” —never in organization or force. • But he was not a “political ag nostic.” He fought, and suf- . fered, to arouse Hie world con- : science, as the dying Tolstoi had enjoined him. He is a tall, spare, pallid old man, with thinning hair and sad, deep- set eyes as he returns to France at the age of seventy-two. Educated in music, at the Ecole Norm ale, he became a devotee of Wagner, whose genius inspirited his life— then of Tolstoi and Shakespeare. He has written many times in the last few years that he sees little hope that the world will escape a last devastating war. * • * IT WAS reported that Sir John Keith, director general of the British Broadcasting corporation, was badly Ucked in that- international Arabic. ‘ crooning contest a while back.

He is an engineer, and in 1916 was here with 600 technicians checking on war material contracts. He didn’t like America or Americans but eased up on us later on. Running British radio, he has been ex ecrated as a tyrant, but he has held to his line and confounded aU his adversaries.

AMAZING CASEIN A * By JOSEPH W. LaBINE When you pick up that fountain pen to write a letter tonight, you’ll probably touch casein. If you’re a billiards enthusiast, the little ball you play with is probably casein. Moreover, casein is responsible for the slick finish of the paper in your favorite magazine. Amazing casein really isn’t an amazing thing. To the rank and file American it’s simply milk curd, a by-product of milk which men have often discarded as valueless. But a few years ago smart scientists began seeking commercial applications for it; their ac complishments to date make an amazing story. If you look up casein in the dictionary it will probably tell you it’s an organic com pound allied to albumin, found in milks of all kinds. The pro portion is 3 per cent and it sep arates from the milk as curd, which is usually used for making cheese. And cheese made from skimmed milk, well pressed, is nearly pure coagulated casein. It’s hard to believe that man can- make cheese and fountain pen barrels out of the same product. But that’s only part of the story.Imagine making wool cloth out of it, too!!! This latest conquest in the com mercial application of casein hails from Italy, where the production of artificial wool from cow’s milk has gone far beyond the experimental stage; so far, in fact, that the great’Snia Viscosa rayon plant at Milan is building a huge addition to its factory for the production of this new artificial fabric on a commercial scale. Man Copies Nature. It’s incredible that artificial wool —and a very fine grade of wool, at that—can be made from milk. But we have only to reflect that the newly born lamb that depends for suste nance entirely upon its mother ewe, is constantly producing * the wool upon its little body from its mother’s milk. So the scientists who perfected this process have only been attempt ing to simulate a process which na ture has 'been carrying on for millions of years. They’ve found that cow’s milk, goat’s milk, sheep’s milk, and no doubt other milks, are satisfactory for making wool fab rics. And the process has been perfected to such an extent that the fin ished product, gives a result, very close to the actual natural wool, chemically and to the touch. This development is remarkably interesting, but it need not cause American sheep raisers to quake in their boots. Although science has found a way to speed up the wool growing process, the method will always be complicated. Yet its suc cess may equal that of rayon, an artificial fabric which has assumed ' an important position during the past 10 years.The new wool cloth made from milk casein comes in all colors and patterns, in different weights, and is much less expensive than ordinary wool. It has an advantage over natural wool in that it does not shrink and for this reason Italy is making it into soldier’s uniforms, underwear and hosiery. Fashion models in Italy show the very latest styles in this new cloth. To see a shop window filled with models clad in gay outing sweaters and sport suits, all made from cow’s milk, is to be convinced against one’s own convictions that' such a thing is possible. Good to the Last Drop. The modern dairyman wastes very little from each gallon of milk his farmers deliver to the door. -At the Italian wool plant, for example, milk is separated from the butter fat, so butter is one of the byproducts of wool., manufacture.'Wbey is another by-product; ;its acidity is neutralized .and, it is fed to pigs. Each 26 gallons of milk produces about 10 pounds of butter and 7% pounds of dry casein. In wciol manufacture, 'dry casein pro duces approximately its own weight in artificial wool, with little waste. American milk is not used so thoroughly, yet few nations can boast higher milk production than the United States. Thus the possibili ties for American adoption of the artificial wool process are tremen dous. Recent department of agriculture figures show that milk surpluses this year hit a new June I high, causing dairy prices to drop to the lowest level in four years. Resulted From Necessity. The discovery of milk wool is only two years old. Inventions which had not passed beyond the laboratory stage had been made before that time, but the object had been to produce artificially a product re placing silk, the most highly con sidered fabric of animal origin. Ex perience has shown, however, that artificial silk is best produced of cellulose, a material of plant origin. The process itself takes place in a plant closely resembling a cream ery. Milk is weighed and passed through a heater into a skimming machine. Here the cream is separated from the milk and by means of a sterilizing and refrigerating ap paratus is immersed in an acidifica tion vat, after which it is put into a mixing churn and moulded into pats of butter. The skimmed milk then passes into a curdling boiler where it is treated by special chemical products so that there is a coagulation of the casein which is found in suspension in the milk. Thecaseinthus collected is sent into the press filter where the whey is eliminated. The masses of casein are sent to the curdling boiler to be washed. The product is then dried and A few days ago the above frock looked very much like 63 quarts of cow’s milk; in fact, it was just that. Today it’s a complete knitted wool dress in plain brown color. Very chic, what? ground. In the mixer the casein undergoes a dissolving process with chemical reagents and. is sent on to the maturing and filtering tanks. Through the spinning machine the casein now takes on the consistency of filaments which. are first cut, then washed, then dried. The raw material is then finished and ready for that first transformation which is common to all fibers.

D igest illL National Topics Interpreted B yW IL L IA M B R U C K A R T ^ M H g g ^ & 'NATIONAL PBLSS BLDG WASHINGTON D C ' ifil Pll iff Tl IjgSl WASHINGTON.—President Roose velt addressed a letter to Chairman Stuart Rice of the ToO M any central statistical R eports board. thI- Ptherday, in which he asked in effect why there is need for so many “official reports” from in dividuals and corporations engaged in business. The President’s letter indicated a feeling that, if there are so many reports as complaints have disclosed, something ought to be done about it.It is now Mr. Rice’s job-to find out when, and where, and why concerning these floods of reports which government demands. But how about me finding out, too, I thought! I started on the job like a bird dog through the bush. It did not take long for me to realize that I had set myself to a task that is likely to occupy Mr. Rice and his staff of several hundred perhaps a year to assemble an answer. I learned a lot of tilings, however, and that is the reason-1 am writing about “offi cial reports” at this time.Speaking generally, at first, I can say that never in all history hag there existed a condition such as business men and women now face, and, of course, within the last few years farmers have had to make out reports, too. The reason for the statement that the cpndition is worse now is that the situation rep resents a growth. Year after year, generation after generation, succeeding Presidents and succeeding congresses have added to the func tions of the national government. Government has gone into new fields, taken on new obligations, new commitments, increased its scope of regulation of this and that and the other. As these functions have in creased, more and more reports have been ordered and required; more facts have been needed, and, in addition, bureaucrats have relegated to themselves additional and unanticipated- powers. Now, what we have is a tangled niess, a slimy octopus whose tentacles reach into every comer and nook and cranny of the nation. Before considering some of the horrible details (which are horrible only because they are so general in application), it seems to me we cafi well consider who is responsible. I mentioned above how succeeding Presidents and congresses have ex panded the functions of government. Those Presidents and members of the congresses were elected by the voters. The campaigns, in nearly every instance, included har- ranguing for establishment of some new agency, passage of some law to drive money changers out of the temple; to prevent grinding the little fellow, the poor, into the earth; to regulate monopplistic-business; to care for the aged after their lives of useful work had been spent; to collect new taxes here and there; to assure the agricultural communi ty a parity price for its products— a thousand and one things were campaigned for or against. So the people voted and elected a Presi dent or a senator or a representative. They also elected a governor and the various officials ot their state wherein a legislature operated as does congress for the country.. It has not mattered, therefore, whether there has been a Democrat or a Republican in the White Housei except in the matter of degree to which the new laws have been en acted. The growth has gone on just the same. Every time a. politician conceived an idea to get; votes, he campaigned on’it—and a new law resulted. With the new law came another deluge of “official reports.”In a general way, therefore, the voters must accept some responsi bility. But the chief responsibility must rest with members Of the house and senate and -the various Presi dents who have served in their turn. Why? Because no one. can be ex pected to understand fully this gigantic machine called government unless that person has ,had an op portunity’to study the-machine. The layman has not had that chance. Presidents and congresses have had the chance. ,* * • To get down to the detailg; that is, to relate some of the incidents which had become The Consumer known to the Pres- Pays ident and Which resulted in his letter to Mr. Rice, we might begin with taxes. The head of a. dairy company. which operates in-three states, reported to his stockholders lately that in one year his firm had been compelled to make and file a total of 11,115 separate tax reports. That company maintained a staff for' the sole purpose of handling the various reports that had to go to the federal government, the governments of the states in ,which the company operated and the cities wheremilk. and.dairy products were sold. Having such a staff, the com pany knew exactly what I it cost— $265,000 a year. It should be added that the cost of these reports neces sarily became a part of the compa ny’s overhead and the overhead ex pense enters directly into the cost of .the dairy products for which the consumer pays. It could easily re sult in an increase of one cent per bottle for the milk served to its customers. .It takes no stretch of the imagina tion to conceive what the cost is for a large corporation to handle its official reports to various agen cies of the national, state and local governments if that corporation op- erates, say, over half of the United States. The expense runs into millions upon millions of dollars an nually. Who pays? You and.r, the consumers.I have not had access to all of the records required by the. depart ment of agriculture because many of them are confidential, but I be lieve it is safe to say that some fifty-odd reports have -to be made respecting every farmer who has signed up in compliance with the crop control laws and the land con servation program. I think the farmer directly involved has from eight to ten of these reports and official documents; the county com mittee which inspects and reports on him has others; the county agent has still more reports to make—all still involving this one farmer but including otheTs as well—and these are followed by regional and na tional reports until all totals are entered here in Washington. Or, at the risk of being too personal in dealing with a national problem, I might cite my own ex periences. Mine is what is called a one-man office. That is to say, with the aid of a secretary, I must run. my own little business. But even as .inconsequential as that' office is, consider this situation: I must file an income tax return annually. That' return must include an extra state ment which covers a general outline of my meager income and the expenses of my office. I must pay ten dollars a year for a “license” which gives nie the privilege of writing to earn my living, but I must file a report before I get that license, in the District of Columbia. Twice a year, I must file a report of my gross return from my work in the District of Columbia—and pay a tax on that income. Each month, I have to file a report to the District of Columbia employment board, showing how much I pay my secre tary, how many hours a week she works and pay a tax which theoreti cally is saved up and paid to her in case she is unemployed. - Each month, also, I am required to file a report with the United States social security board, giving the same in formation—and pay another unemployment tax. And each three months, I am required to file another report with- the social secur ity board which seems to be a report showing that the monthly reports are correct. * * * . It has been my good fortune to have gained a-legal education by . . virtue of four longWhcdrs years of night T he U se? school, so I have not had to hire a lawyer to help me with my reports. They have been comparatively sim ple, generally. But that is not the case with a larger business. Lawyers, however, would be no help in the circumstance that I am now about to relate. A young lady who had served as my secretary several years left my service. When I filed the last, monthly, reporf.for her name and paid the tax, I at tached a letter explaining that she was leaving and that there would be no further reports in her name as far as I w.as concerned. The letter was written in the hope that the file would be complete. This incident happened last October. In March, 1938, I received a notice from the board, advising me that I had not paid the tax on the salary of the lady in question for the month of February, 1938. Nota word about the other months from October to February. And if I didn’t pay,' said the notice, there were penalties, -court proceedings, etc. Yes, you guessed it! I threw that notice into the waste, basket.. Two months later, I had the honor to be visited by an inspector. He was courteous, and gentlemanly, but firm. I must pay the tax—not for February, but for December. You can let your own imagination run high, wide and handsome about the results of that visit. Well, I merely bring out those facts because they show the need _ for the voters of the country to take some action on their own and quit following blindly the demagoguery of the politicians.-Previously in this column I have written about several , corporations which, after filing’ several reports', have .had them to see whether I plying with the lav time, one of the business, men : whom I ,wrote originally has told i that other inspectors see Whether the" first plied with the law in vestigations. ; © Western Newspapei W INSOME print that mak prettiest, hat big of romance into the twosome that “d you” and it’s exac' tume that is holdin the midsummer fa Special emphasi: on the vogue of that have a sent' tunes in charming! ery of a brightly i print gown.

Lesson for July 31 SAMSON: STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS LESSON TEXT—Judgesl4:5, 6; 15:11-14: 16:15-21. GOLDEN TEXT-Be strong In the Lord, and In the power ot his m ight—Ephesians 6:10. • PRIMARY TOPIC-A Man Who Wasted His Strength. JUNIOR TOPIC—How Strong Was Samson?INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Who Is Strong?YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Physical Strength and Moral Weakness. There is no more tragic individual among the sons of men than the one who entered upon life, with every promise of success, who has lived for a time in favor with God and with man, and then because of moral failure is set aside by God,, shunned by man, and ends life as a disappointment and a failure. “And yet such disastrous climaxes of what should have been great and victorious careers lie all about us, and nowhere with such frequency and inexcusableness as among those whom God has called to preach, evangelize, and teach His Word. The saddest tragedy in all the world is a man who once knew the power of the Holy Spirit and who now walks the streets of some great city or is buried in the cottage of an unknown countryside, without power, without work, without joy, without the leading of the Lord. He knows a weari ness that labor never gives, for he wakdns every morning more tired and weary than when he went to sleep the night before” (Wilbur M. Smith). . The life story of Samson brings us the picture of God’s patient and gracious dealing with such a failure, reveals the inexorable law of cause and effect in the moral realm as well as the certainty that the wages of sin not repented of and forsaken is death. L Physical Strength and Favor With God (15:5, 6). Samson had the distinction (given to only One other Old Testament character) of having his birth an nounced beforehand. He was to be a Nazarite and was to “begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistine”—a commission which sin kept him from ever finishing. God gave him the marvelous herit age of a strong and healthy body as well as His own blessing upon him for carrying out the Lord’s work. The fact that he is named among the heroes of faith in He brews indicates that he did have faith in God. Yet his life was a failure. Samson would have been a great favorite in this athletic age. Let those who worship the body and glorify physical prowess take note that such strengtii is not sufficient to guarantee success in life, and may indeed be a source of tempta tion which may lead to spiritual and moral downfall. Those who live for the flesh “shall of the flesh reap corruption” (GaL 6:8). H. Moral Weakness and Spiritual Decay (15:11-14). The portion of the lesson selected for our consideration from Judges 15 gives only an act of prowess on the part of Samson, but the reader will recognize itas one of the many deeds of Samson done as an expression of his uncontrolled sensual nature. Read the entire chapter and it will be evident that here is a man who, while occasionally re sponding to God’s leading, is on the downward path of moral and spir itual decadence. Scripture is absolutely honest in relating the facts as they are—and here it is not at all ah attractive picture. It never is, although the world tries to make it appear to be. A learned audience of university people laughed with evident appreciation at the statement of a pro fessor that “vice is always more interesting than virtue,” little real izing that they thus bore testimony to their. own attitude toward sin. If the liquor advertisements were honest enough to picture the agony of a drunkard dying of delirium tremens they would present the real truth, but they would sell no “booze.” IH. Failure, Darkness, and Death (16:15-21). Delilah finally betrayed the foolish Samson who apparently had become so sure of himself that he dared to venture anything. The man.who was to be . strong for God is now in prison, shorn of his strength, blinded by his enemies, and finally he' kills himself even as he slays his enemies (16:23-31). Thus he threw-away the life that had become to him but a burden and a disgrace. “Thus he who began never com pleted his work.' The column was broken in the middle. The story ends with a comma and a dash, blis tered over by a tear. For the light is turned into darkness, and how great is the darkness” (J. M. Lang). Now Power Can Defeat God Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation ot the wick ed, when: it cometh. FortheLord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.—, Prov. 3:25,26. WHAT to EAT and WHY £ 4 j o u . l t o n C f O i i d h l Practical Advice on How to K eep Cool W ith Food By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 East 3Sth.Street. New York City. FROM the standpoint of health, the summer months consti tute the most important period of the entire year. They should be used to build stamina and vitality that will fortify your body against disease. But to many people, the warm weather means merely a succession of exhausting days and restless nights. And hardly a week passes without reports of heat prostrations. —★— Meeting the Challenge of Hot Weather IFhile abnormal heat or hu m idity may be a secondary cause, the real reason behind much warm-weather suffering is a fail ure to meet the challenge of sum mer with a judicious diet. Automobile owners know that no car is better than its engine, and in warm weather, careful drivers watch the gauge on the dashboard to be sure the engine does not become overheat ed. But most people give little thought to that most remarkable of all engines—the human digestive machinery. Compared to the engine in your body, the one in your car is a crude, rough affair that can stand no end of punishment. Moreover, the automobile is driven for a cer tain length of time and then permitted to rest. But the marvelous mechanism which transforms your food into blood, bone, mugv cle, and your capacity fra thoilgH? and action is never wholly at rest. ' —★—Importance of the Right Food If the automobile engine re quires special attention,. how much more important to stoke your body engine with food suited to the weather! No one would think of going about in midsummer, wearing the same garments that were worn all winter. Yet many women continue to serve the same type of meals which were required to keep the body warm in winter. Sueh a practice is sure to make you miserable. But more than that, it lowers resistance.and may, there fore, lead to illness. Beating the HeatThere are several factors to bear in mind when planning the hot-weather diet. The first secret of keeping cool is to supply the body machinery with food fuel that can be utilized with the least .expenditure of energy. Warm weather b responsible for muscular relaxation In the di gestive tract, as well as other parts of the body. And you run the risk of digestive upsets, with their discomfort and health haz ards, unless you make every ef fort to lessen the work of your digestive system. Eat lightly of rich fatty meats, pastries, rich cakes, sauces and gravies. At all times, choose eas ily digestible foods. OvereatingSapsVitaIify ; Dqp’t overeat. The task of handling excess ,.food is a burden to the: body at any season. In hot weather, it will cause the body temperature to mount along with the thermometer, and may result in a serious upset. It is also’ adr visable to cut down somewhat on the quantify of heat and energy producing foods consumed—that is the carbohydrates and frits. —★—Need for Body-Building Foods The protein requirement re mains the same summer and win ter. Some people think that meat should not be eaten in summer, or should be reduced to a minimum. But there.is no closed season for growth in children, and moreover, they play so constantly and in dulge In such strenuous exercise that they break down body tissue very rapidlyA Adults also have a constant need- for protein to re build the millions of cells that are worn out daily. It is desirable, however, to avoid rich, fatty meats and to select protein foods that are more easily digestible, as chicken, lamb, lean beef and lean fish. Special emphasis should be placed on milk, cheese and eggs. These splendid foods not only supply Grade A protein, in an easily digested form, but also fortify the diet with minerals and vitamins. —'dr—Liquids Essential To help you keep cool, the sum mer diet must include an abundance of liquids. These are neces sary to make up for the large amounts of moisture lost from tee body through increased perspira tion.Liquids may be taken in the form of milk, fruit juices and cool ing drinks made from pure water and packaged beverage crystals containing dextrose, fruit acid, fla voring and coloring. —★— Hot Weaiher and Vttamin C Two European investigators re cently found that exposure to high SimpIelCooI Cottons FF YOU wear 14 to 20 sizes and 1 expect to be outdoors and in sports clothes most of the summer, then you'll want the smart 'frock with tucked skirt and tai lored collar.

And lowered vitamin C reserves are partially responsible for that tired feeling so often ex- '" ' perienced In warm weather. Their-^ research indicates that drinking orange or lemon juice, which are rich in vitamin C, actually helps to mitigate the effeet of the heat. Choose Cold Drinks Carefully A cold drink is comforting on a hot day. And in addition, sweet ened beverages help to relieve fa tigue, for their carbohydrate con. tent supplies available energy, Sugar is the least heating, of toe energy producing foods, fra less than one-sixteenth of the energy it supplies to the body is con verted into heat. The rest goes into brain and muscle power. Therefore, one good way to prevent needless fatigue to summer is to take a cool, moderately sweetened drink whenever you fed tired during, toe day. This will satisfy thirst and ward off exhaustion like a rest by the. road after a long hard tramp. Too highly sweetened" bever- ages, however, may be heating to the body, though they are. cooling to the palate. For this reason, if is advisable for homemakers to mix their own cool drinks so that they can control the amount of sweetening used. It is possible to buy inexpensive packaged bever age crystals to a variety of flavors, which make delicious, re freshing and cooling drinks fra general family use.. One of these contains added vitamin D, and as toe sugar is added by the home maker, you can be toe judge of how much to use. This is an ex-, cellent idea, especially to house-4 ' holds where there are children;"'' for the home-made drink satisfies thirst, provides needed energy and discourages them from bal ing bottled beverages of doubtful purity. —... .
