IUo •tW* MO"' i\\Ut IT IS ON t A I BILLBOARD To Complete The Record There is no purpose here to par­ ade the' misfortune of a man whose run-in with the Iaur has been com. mented upon in these columns here tofore.' But because his cr.se is somewhat a commentary on how the law is invoked against “pro. minents*’ in North Carolina, it is not out of place to take a look at the court records. Last week, R. E. Sentelle, of Southport, a former representative in the State legislature, was bound oyer to Mecklenburg-Superior couit when he demanded a jury trial in recorder’s court upon charges of drunken driving and violation of the State liqnor laws. He gave the three hnndren dollars bond requir. ed and escaped jail. The rural policeman who arrested him said he had a half gallon of moonshine whiskey and three pints ot tax-paid whiskey in bis car. This would not warrant more than the usual stick of type in the news columns except for'what pre­ ceded it. Sentelte was arrest in Montgo­ mery county last year on similar charges, and was convinced, re­ ceived a jail sentence and a fine. Qarried his case to the Supreme Court whicli ruled against him. But Governor Hoey intervened, ar­ ranging for him to escape jail but not the fine.. Judge Rcusseau, ' who presided during the trial of the Senteila case,: was roundly scolded by the de fend­ ant’s friends for . being too. harsh: They said the. Judge was' playing to the galleries, by giving him' tjhe works, after, a jury, had- heard tbe evidence and convicted.- .

When the State Highway and Pub­ lic Works Commission meets on Nov­ ember 17, it is predicted as- a cer tainty by - those in the: know, that there will.be'a veto of those connty claims against.the Stat e / amounting to $52,682,167 — claims that .have been shuttled from one legislature and from one commissioner to an other for the past five years. These claims are for work , the counties did before .the State took over the roads, and which at the time of the. transfer were conceded to be an honest obligation—theore­ tically.

The Republican renaissance has brought forward a set of new and youmger leaders for the parts, some of them almost unknown to their older-colleagues in the party. '. Moat of the newcomers are well below middle age; a few are still in their early thirties. Inseveral cases their streamlined campaign tech­ nique and their plantforms have beed at sharp variance with the teachings of their party predecessors. Some of these VictorWin Tuesday's election will come to the Senate, where there alrerdy are- two com­ paratively young Republicans—Lod­ ge of Massachusetts and Bridges of New Hampshire, Othirswill go to the. House and several will sit in governor’s chairs which Democrats have occupied. In the groiipjare a few who al­ ready have been mentioned as 1940 presidential possibities such as Robert A. Taft 49, senator-elect of Ohio, and Thomas E Dewey, 36. who nearly defeated Governor Herber H Lehman, Of New York, Taft, tall, round-faced son of a former President, lived in the White House while. attendent Yake, His previous political experience has in* eluded several teams in the Ohio leg. Idature, Dewev began a war on New York’s racketeers in 1935 when he was ap­ pointed a special prosecutor and carried it on after his election as Msnhatten district attorney. a year ago. An .Gwosso, Micb , boy who went to the big city for a law de­ gree at Columbia University, he has an inmpressive baritone' voice that friends call, a political asset. Anotherpotentfigure among the Republican winners is Judge Arthur H. James, who was elected governor of Pennsylvania 'after campaigning with a “miner’s quartet.” Themen wore miners’ outfits and sang lutsy songs in which'the candidate join­ ed Son of a Welsh’miner, the san dy-bairee Sames worked in the mines himself as a breaker boy, during his childhood vacations. - John W.

Tbe Republicans are right much pepped up over what they drew in this off-year election. Thev have a right to be. They have waited pa­ tiently for six years for the old ele­ phant to recuperate, and now it is plain that he is on his feet and rar- in* to go places and do. things. Where and what remains to be seen. The next stop, of course is 1940— and the presidency, and' the 1938 victors wiil be given the once-over to see how they click. One can bet­ ter tell whether there is outstanding talent among them after they have been put through'.their gaits. For with Republican'governors , and leg­ islators in many states that have been Democratic, there will be re­ sponsibilities to be met, and per­ formance will be an important yard­ stick in the measuring of their pre­ sidential stature.7' - With only"Maine and Vermont ss a back-ground, there was much bay­ ing at the; moon, demagogic, de­ structive criticism nnbolstered by powers that enabled them to verify the accuracy of theirreasoring. That has beeii changed to a considerable extent. Around eighty new con­ gressmen and a dozen new senators will be able to demonstrate their statesmanship, if any. Ande by the manner of their walk- all of them— will the party be judged in 1940. ' While in all cases the party label wa9 worn, tbat does not mean whole­ hearted and determined opposition to the liberal program of Mr. Roose­ velt. Sqme of the candidates thought it wise to admit that there is some good; in the New Deal. Some of them will sense the fact that they were elected-on that basis,, and act accordingly. And just as surely will the Republican party as a whole re­ vise its old-line -reactii nary- policies in order to get a good toe-buld in the 1940 race. Incidentally the nation is to be congratulated on the outcome of the 18 voting, if we are to have a two-party system, the strength must be more evenly divided, if. we are to have the - best' government.

This demure yellowish tan kitten with bright red or blue ribbon is made from a stocking leg. The secret of giving toys at this type char­acter is in making the stuffing firm and tight. Cotton or small pieces of clean, soft rags may be used. Push the stuffing firmly in place with a blunt stick. Complete directions for cutting and making the body are given here.

CHAPTER TV—Continued When the games ended Bert and Hale went upstairs together. Hale had expected to say a brisk good­night at the door of his room. When he realized that young Kneeland was lingering on the threshold as if he had something to say, he changed his mind. A tete-a-tete with the son of the house,, in this new mood of his, might reveal something worth knowing. “Come in and have a cigarette,” he invited, and Kneeland was across the threshold before he had finished the sentence. Once there, however, his self-consciousness returned. He was very fidgety, and bungled sim­ple actions Uke the lighting of his cigarette. His hand shook as he struck a second- match. Hale ob­ served this and made an inward comment. “The boy’s nerves are shot to pieces.” But when the two men were comfortably seated in easy-chairs by an open window, fac­ ing th<K sea, Kneeland relaxed. ,?I don’t intend to keep you very long,” he began apologetically, “I just want to say, now I’ve a chance td do it, that—well—that I think your being here for this summer is a corking idea. I’m strong for it.” “Thanks. I’m glad you feel that way. If you don’t mind telling me,” Rex added with a grin, “I’d be glad to know why you do.” , Kneeland was taken aback by the directness of the question. He flushed and stammered. • “Why, the usual reasons, I sup­pose. Pit in, and all that sort of thing,” he said uneasily. He added with more assurance, “I think you can be very helpful to Dad. I guess you can see. that I’m a total loss to him, so far.” Hale made a perfect smoke .ring. “In what way can I help your fa­ther?” he asked quietly. Kneeland stared at him. “I don’t know what's on Dad’s mind,” he said slowly. “He hasn’t mentioned the matter to me except to say you’d be here this summer and handle his home mail At a guess I’d say he likes you and thinks you’d brighten us up, ..God. knows we need brightening,” ' His voice sharpened and rose as he went on, and his'inask' slipped aside a trifle. “We seem, to be get­ting horribly on one another’s nerves,” he jerked out. “Craig can’t talk of anything butdiseased brains: I’m sorry now I asked him here, Ainswortii rides Dad as if he were a cowboy on a bucking broncho, and Dad acts as if he were the broncho. He doesn’t kick the bounder off the premises, and I can’t imagine why. I’ve asked him. He shut me up in a hurry.” “You haven’t kicked Craig off the premises, either,” Hale said gently. He offered his guest, a fresh ciga­rette and lit another for himself. Herbert’s mask settled into place again.“That’s a different matter,” he said stiffly. “Craig’s my best paL' We’ve been together pretty-con­stantly the last five years. It’s been mighty decent of him to bother with a bonehead like me. But I haven’t had a whole summer of him before and—” he stopped, alone with him?” Hale asked casu­ ally.Young Kneeland’s voice dropped.“The same .thing, .but. more of it.. He tells me about’ his damned ex­periments, and his clinic cases. He says he knows I'm .interested in ev­erything, that concerns him. He says he has ho one else to talk to, and I guess thafs.a fact. He’s a loncdy chap. I suppose that’s why:he .puts up with me. He actually asked me to sit' in his laboratory and watch him carve up his cadavers. After one go of that I drew the line right there.” Bert shuddered. “Now I keep pretty, much to myself in- the daytime. I hustle off alone m my boat or car. I have to hear all about his . work at -night, though. You’ve heard his gay prattle at din­ner. He comes to. my room when we go upstairs and talks his head off. He knows. I don’t like it. I’m bored stiff by it.. In fact I hate it. But—well, he’s frightfully tactless.” “You don’t mean he has cadavers here?” Rex asked in amazement Kneeland looked at him uncertain­ ly. Heappearedtofearthathehad said too much. It was equally clear, however, that he was finding a cer­tain satisfaction in pouring out these -revelations. “Not whole ones,” he muttered at last. “Bits. Pickled in a small vat he has up in his laboratory. He gets the things from his hospital. Brains, mostly. There’s no secret about it,” he hastened to add. “The vat is always fastened with a combi­nation lock when he isn’t there, aiid the servants have orders to keep out of the room. He cleans it himself. He considers every minute lost when he isn’t experimenting or talk­ing about his cases. Craig thinks he’s on the verge of a big discov­ery. I guess' he is. He’s so in­fernally clever. But I wish to God he’d stop talking about it.”He bad got back to his griev­ance, and Hex nodded.On the face of it, the thing was simple enough. A case of scientific passion, .selfishness, and utter self­absorption. Hale was looking be­ yond the elder Kneeland’s room was Joan’s room. This was directly op­posite that in which Craig made himself comfortable, with Ainsworth as. his. next-door . neighbor. . Mrs. Spencer Forbes and Miss Hosanna had too rooms and a connecting bathroom at the front end of the hall, directly across from Hale’s quarters. There were also two pest rooms on the third floor, where Craig had his laboratory. These, of course, were now unoceu-. pied. Hale locked his door, and strolled toward his writing table. He felt very wide-awake. He decided ; to write a letter or two to quiet his nerves before trying to sleep. He was not certain that young Knee­land’s confidence and disingenuous­ness were entirely sincere. The lad would bear watching. He reached the writing table, pulled out his chair, and stopped short. He had been pleased by the table’s sensible location, next to the rear window, and by the generous supply, of stationery its numerous drawers contained. Now, directly under his eyes, one of its sheets of letterpaper lay be­fore him. ; It was white-, with the words “ Halcyon Camp” embossed across the top. in dark green. The post office address and telephone number of the Camp were engraved in the right-hand corner. It was R “Why should Mrs. Nash give Jane a cat?” low the face of it, and his own face grew grave. Hiis reply was still casual. .“Craig is a self-centered type,” he said. “He has lived and worked alone so-long that he has lost, his sense of proportion. We had a man at Huelva who was-like that. The rest of us fled from him as if he had been a cholera germ.”He talked on, making an amus­ing story of the experience with the man at Huelva. Herbert brightened. Hale had got what he wanted. He kept the conversation on an imper­sonal plane during the rest of the calli and Kneeland responded eager­ ly. He stayed ah hour longer, evi­ dently unwilling to leave. Atlast he glanced at his wrist watch and jumped UP with an apology.“Awfully sorry,” he said. “I had* no idfea how late—”' “It’s been a bully talk.” Hale went with him. to the door, and paused there with his hand on the knob..“If I were you,” he . suggested cheerfully, “I wouldn’t let Craig make any more night visits. I’d lock the door and let him think I was asleep.”Herbert shook his brown head.. “I tried that a few times,” he admitted. “He didn’t like it. He was fonny:: about it—surprised and awfully hurt. He says it helps him to thresh things out with me. He says it clears his brain, and that sort of thing.”“All right. Let him dear his brain some other way,” Hale re­torted. “I think he needs some, men­tal housedeaning. Just lock your­self in and snore .when he raps. After a few times he may get the idea that you want some sleep. You’ve got to have it. I don’t be­ lieve I’d sleep at all, if he spent his experiments to me.” “I don’t sleep much,” Herbertconfessed. He added in a relieved tone, “I. think: I’ll take your advice. Anyway, I’ll try it.”“Don't mind if he doesn't like it;” Hale laughed. “It will be good for. him to learn that he can’t have everything he . likes. He’s, being abominabty selfish about this;”'He stbod by his open door for a moment, looking, after young Knee­land’s disappearing figure. He had learned through the casual talk around, him since his arrival that the soin of the house slept:at the rear end of the' upper hall, next to his father’s room and bath and on: the same side as Hale’s room. Be- not these things at which Hale looked. He had seen them before. The paper was a sheet from his own supply. But directly in its center, erect and malignant, was a very clever pen and ink sketch of a cobra coiled to strike. Below it four print­ed words straggled down the side of the page. WHY WATE FOR THIS? This time Hale did not grin over the message. He looked at it thoughtfully for a long 'moment. Then he impaled it on a pin, and picked it up. He dropped it into an envelope, took a bill-case from an inside pocket, put the envelope into it, and restored the case to the pock: et. He undressed slowly and de­liberately. He had considerable thinlring to do. .He decided to do.it Sn bed in the undlstracting darkness. Returning from the bathroom in his pajamas, and.moving toward his bed, he again stopped short with a muffled exclamation. Something was pressing against his feet. He- looked down. He had turned out all the lights save the one bulb on the reading lamp over his bed. By its glow, however, he distinctly saw his visitor. It was a large and really beautiful black cat, with green eyes andia green ribbon-around its neck. The ribbon ended in a smart bow.Hale stared down at the animal, wondering how it had got into his room. It might have slipped past him unnoticed when he opened the door to speed Herbert on his way. “Don’t you know this- isn’t a safe house for animals?” he asked it. “There’s a vivisectionist experi­menting. on the top floor! Just the same, I’ll have to put you out. I can’t have you prowling around here all night.”Cta second thought, he-picked up the purring creature, and then crossed to the beU and rang it. It was after midnight but he had seen that the lower hall was still lit when Her­bert left. Banksmustbesomewhere around. He would make an effort to put the cat into Banks’ care.Banks was around. He respond­ed to the bell almost at once. His impassive face brightened when he saw the cat.“I just discovered this visitor,” Hale explained. “I fancy she’s been asleep under the bed.”’ “Thank you, sir.” Banks took the animal, which accepted the change philosophically though with a lin­gering backward glance at her host. “Jane will be relieved, sir,” he added. “She’s been in quite a state about the cat all evening.” “It’s her cat?”“Yes, sir. Mrs. Wilbur Nash sent it over this morning as a present. Jane was pleased. But she’s a lit­tle overanxious, seeing what's hap­pened to the other pets. Her name,” Banks added, stroking the cat’s head, “is Daisy.”“Why should Mrs. Nash give Jane a cat?” Hale asked curiously. “Is Jane an old employee of hers?” “No, sir. Jane’s sister Ellen worked for Mrs. Nash for five years. Then one day Ellen fell down the cellar steps in Mrs. Nash’s town house and broke her neck. It was a most unusual occurrence,- sir. It got into the newspapers. It made a strong bond between Mrs. Nash and Jane. Mrs. Nash,” Banks added solemnly, “paid all the funeral ex­ penses.” “And gives Jane cats, besides. Isee. A generous nature.”. Hale threw open the door. “Put Daisy to bed, and seek your own respose,” he invited. For a moment he watched Banks’ sedate progress down the hall. As he stood there he heard the sound of light tapping at the far end of the cor­ ridor. He glanced along the pas­sage. Craig stood at Herbert’s door, tapping on it gently but persistently. Hale returned to his room, slipped on his dressing gown, and strolled out of the room and down the hall. Craig was still at Herbert’s door. He was, no longer , tapping. He was merely, waiting. Hale approached him with awinning smile.“Anything I can do?” he asked cheerfolly. “No, thanks. I merely wanted a word with Bert.”' Craig stared at him bleakly and without moving.’“I: think he's sound asleep," Hale suggested. “I hope so. I thought he looked til tonight. You see," he added, glancing at his wrist watch, “It’s pretty late. It’s twenty min­ utes to one. I thought you might be sick, when I heard you tapping. Can I offer you. a drink, or anything?”. “No,.thanks...,I’m turning in my­self. ' Good night;” The look that went with ihe words was not a benediction. Hale re­sponded to. it with - a friendly nod. He heard Craig’s bedroom door dose with a-snap as he returned ,to. his own room.- (TO BE CONTINUED) Arabs Hold Date Palms Dearer Than Wives, Would Sell Her Rather Than Twig of Tree , It took this country ten years to discover something, was wrong with its 1890. purchase of baby palms, says Popular Mechanics. The trees grew at the prodigious rate of two feet a year; but mostly they were barren, and fruit of the producers was inferior. Dr. David Fairchild went to the Sahara as Americans trouble-shooter. - He sent home the first shipments of fertile offshoots in 1901, but had to obtain the inter­ vention of the British governor gen- even one date sprig. An Arab may sell his wife-or one of them—his camel or his donkey. But try to buy an offshoot from a 'choice palm and he reaches for his trusty scimitar. Norwillhe dispose of his best fruit unless there is a surplus over family needs. His gar­den is protected by a high stone wall, and admittance is only by in­vitation.Dr. Fairchild returned with en­thusiastic reports of a rare date he found'in bazaars along the Nile. It was called the wahi, and he trav­ eled thousands of miles by camel try­ing totrace its sourceandbuy some of; its progehy. Other, government agents also.attempted to trail the wahi without success, until Dr. Si­las C. Mason was sent to Egypt in 1913 with instructions to bring home a wahi date child, and bring her home alive. He sent bundles of thousands. A sheik told him the se­cret. “We of the oasis call it Saidi or Seideh,” he said. ‘‘But when these' Bedouin traders get over to the val­ ley with it, they call it the wahi. A wahi date is a date from an oasis— any date from a n j!g |k ’’ "Twice as CoMm Such an expression as.“twice ascold” has no meaning because there is no definite: point of-the thermom­ eter/from-which'we'reckon cold. As zero is 32 degrees Fahrenheit be­low freezing point, .you could ray that 32 degrees below zero is twice as many degrees below freezing point as zero is below that point.

Toovercome !damaging wear, the motor oil must possess three essential char­acteristics: (I) low cold test to assure quick easy starts (2 ) abil­ity to lubricate at all driving speeds (3) .durability to stand up for reasonable mileage. Curiously enough these requirements are contradictory in that to assure one factor it is very easy to unbalance another.The only safe rule to follow in preparing your car for Winter is to buy the very best motor oil, Acid-Free Quaker State; The refiners of Quaker State were pioneers in developing motor oils for Winter use. Today in four great modem refineries tiie most modern equipment and methods transform the finest Pennsylvania grade crude into motor oils whichmake automobiles, trucks and tractors run better, last longer, the year ’round.The low cold test of Quaker State Winter Oil assures smooth easy starts; Its purity frees you of worry about sludge, carbon and corrosion. Itsability to-Standup is unequalled . . . you go farther before you need to add a quart.It is merely commonsense to practice economy. And the ac­cumulated experience of car man­ufacturers, engineers, and most car owners proves that the use of high quality motor oil is genuine economy. It is conservatively es­timated by authorities that 80 to 90 per cent of all repairs to an automobile are caused by faulty or incorrect lubrication.A wise man once said: “It takes 12 months and sometimes longer to correct a mistake on a farm.” Just so, five minutes running witii the wrong oil in the engine of your car the first cold morning this Winter can cause morewear and damage than all the miles you drove this past Summer..

Alf is surrounded by demo­ crats, but he will be heard from while awav. We forgot to tell our readers last week that we secured six good subscribers to take the place of the six we lost on account of the re­ cent election. We still have room on our books for more names. : We can’t help but feel sorry for the poor, deluded business man who is too narrow-minded to ad vertise in a newspaper that differs with him on political and religious questions. The number of such 'persons is getting smaller as the years go bv. , s; No need to grieve ovei spilled milk. There will be no more elec tions for two years. The 1300 Re­ publicans who failed to go to the polls in the recent election in Davie County, will have plenty of time In which to meditate and make up their miuds before the next elec­ tion. ._______ The Record is just an old-fashion ed Republican country weekly which hasn’t missed an issue or come out a day late in more than 3 0 years. We don’t put on the dog, but try to give everybody a square deal from the pauper to the mil­ lionaire. Our editorial columns are not for sale.

Deas of The- Uoody Bible Institute . of Chicago..© Westers Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 11 XHE SlN O F COVETOUSNESS LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:17; Luke 12: 13-21; I Timothy 6:6-10.GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shalt not covet.— Exodus 20:17. Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. "T he w ord of God is quick, and pow erful, and sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and m arrow , and is a discem er, of the thoughts and intents of the h e art” (H eb. 4:12). These are the w ords th a t cam e to the w riter’s m ind as he read the Scripture portions assigned for this lesson. H e w ould fain have set aside his own com m ents and used -this colum n to print the w ords from the Bible. If any read er of these lines purposes -to read ju st these efforts to expound the truth, and not to read the Bible itself, let m e plead w ith you to stop here and turn to God’s W ord. L et its pow erful tru th grip your soul and change your life. It seem s peculiarly appropriate th a t this lesson on covetousness should com e right in the m idst of our preparations for C hristm as, for it directs our attention aw ay from things to God, from outw ard prep­ aration to the preparation of the h eart, from greedy desire to true liberality of heart. C hristm as .may be literally “m ade over” for all of u s if we receive its truth. I. A C om m and (Exod. 20:17). "T hou shalt not covet.” This last com m andm ent carries us “beyond the dom ain of civil m ag­ istracy into th a t intellectual realm of m otive, desire, and thought, w here God alone is L ord and Judge” (D ykes). It deals w ith the heart, out of w hich are all the issues of life. It reaches to the root of so -m uch th a t is w icked and destruc­ tive in the w orld—the covetousness of m an. The love of m oney m akes m en lie, steal, kill, cheat; in fact, “ the whole realm of hum an inter­ relations is disorganized and broken u p by the dishonoring of the tenth com m andm ent” (M organ). D . A W arning (Luke 12:13-21). “ B ew are of covetousness.” The teaching of this passage is so directly opposite to all ideas regard­ ing such m atters accepted by the w orld at large, th at it m ay be a total surprise to som e readers and attendants at Bible school. The yardstick of success in the w orld—for an individual, and organ­ ization, or a nation; yes, even for m any a church—is the possession of w ealth, or property, or other “ things.” W rite it then in large let­ ters on the hearts and minds of our boys and girls, “ A m an’s life con- sisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (v. 15). The one-w ho w as known to his friends (and to him self) as “ a rich m an ” (v. 16), but w hom God#knew as a “fool” (v. 20 ), had m ore than he could use for him self. H e had to build new and bigger barns, and could not see th e-“b am s” th at w ere already prepared, for, as Am­ brose says, “ Thou h ast barns—the bosom s of the needy, the houses of widows, the m ouths of orphans and infants.” H e w as a fool who loved m oney for him self. , One w onders w hat he had to say for him self w hen th a t very night he w as called into the presence of God to give an ac­ count of his stew ardship (v. 20). If you are sim ilarly situated and have the sam e attitude, W hat w ill you say in th a t day? An im portant point w hich w e m ust note is th a t Jesus expressly re­ pudiated the connecting of H is nam e w ith the so-called “ social gospel” in H is reply (v. 14) to the question of the covetous feUow who regard­ ed his inheritance as of m ore im ­ portance than brotherly love. Those w ho are ignoring the gospel of re­ dem ption and claim ing Jesus as a social reform er or the “judge and divider” of som e new econom ic so­ lution for the w orld’s ills, need to read and ponder this verse. E very C hristian is interested deeply in so- dal problems, but Iom that the first conqern of Christ and His fol­ lowers is the souls of men. ' ■ , m. A Way of Victory (I Tim. 6:6- 10). “Godliness with contentment." As a m inister of the gospel the, w riter would first rem ind him self th a t this w as w ritten by P aul to the preacher Tim othy. B rethren in the m inistry, let us not fall into the tem ptation and snare th a t com es w ith the love of m oney. In this dizzy age w hen m any are so intent on m aking m oney th a t they have no tim e for hom e and children, church and fellow ship; when m en neglect their responsibilities and duties as citizens to get gain'; when any dirty business is all right if it produces a profit; when “for gold m en betray their country, their friends, their God, their im m ortal souls” (F a ira r)—yes, in this day let us rem ind'm en- th at' “w e:brought nothing into this world, and it is certain th at we can c arry nothing out." L et us teach and exem plifyin our lives the facti that the only real and worth Wme-Rain in-Iifle Is contentment.” Dress for You, and A nO utfitfor Dolly R U S YU AnnULisz days a re com m g-you — don’t w ant to undertake labo­ rious sew ing tasks, and ^ e s e - signs have been greatly , fled, so th a t you can q m c H r ana easily m ake them .

Poultry Husband*man, New Jersey Agricultural Station.W U Service. The best and highest egg produc­ ers in a flock of poultry alm ost in- variab:. a re those w hich started the laying y ear early and got under w ay during their first three m onths a t a fairly high ra te of production. T here is evidence to show that such precocity in pullets is largely inherited. B ecause of this, it is well for practical poultrym en who antici­ pate producing their own chicks to m ark the pullets 'going into produc­ tion In such a w ay th a t precocious starte rs m ay b e identified later w hen breeders a re chosen. With flocks that are so hatched and reared as to go into egg yield early, it is necessary to know whit ra te and w hat am ount of produc­ tion is necessary in order th at in­ dividuals m ay be term ed precocious layers. If the pullets a re not m an­ aged under artificial lights, preco­ cious production might be described as being a t least 10 eggs per bird for the first m onth, 12 p er bird for the second, and 14 p er bird for the third. If the, pullets a re m anaged under artificial lights and a re given a 13- hour lighted day and the proper m anagem ent to go w ith it, these m inim um production figures m ight be expected to rise by one egg for the first m onth, tw o eggs for Ute second m onth, and tw o o r three eggs for the third m onth. These standards furnish poultry­ m en w ith a guide by w hich to judge any of their pullets. R ecords bet­ te r than these m inim um standards are, of course, to be accepted as indicating still greater values. Rec­ ords under these standards, how­ ever, m ust be taken a s indicating a lack of inherited capacity for pre­ cocious laying, or early starting. One m ust be sure, of course, th at failure to get under w ay early and with a rapid production rate is not due to m istakes of m anagem ent, feeding, w eather or any other en­ vironm ental factors which have som e bearing on egg yield.While selecting breeders by their degree of precocity is valuable, it must be borne in mind that, afterall, the progeny test is the very best method of measuring a breeder’s value.

H O U S T O N G O U D IS S ' P ERHAPS no more dramatic chapter has ever been written in the history of nutritional science than the discovery of the chemical structure of the vitamin now known as Bt and its artificial synthesis.

The disease was known in An­cient times in the Orient. It oc­ curred in other countries during the Nineteenth cen­ tury. And even in the Tw entieth cen­ tury, som e of the B ritish troops sta­ tioned In M esopo­ tam ia and the D ar­ danelles during the W orld w ar cam e down w ith the dis­ ease. C v en before this vitam in w as identified, a E uro­ pean Investigator w as seeking to determ ine w hy a sm all portion of m ilk added to a d iet containing protein, fats, carbohydrates and m inerals successfully nourished individuals who did not enjoy good health w hen the m ilk w as om itted. ble th a t m any significant new facts w ill be unearthed in the near future. . In the m eantim e, there is enough evidence to w arran t tbp belief th a t th e absence of vitam in Bi results in cellular alteration in the nervous system , intestine, pancreas, stom ach, salivary glands, liv er and other tissues. The whole pow er of the body to resist infection appears to be de­ creased. This is especially true in the gastrointestinal tra c t, prob­ ably owing to the action of the bacteria on its passage through the im paired alim entary tra c t. Some Peculiarities of This Vitamin Vitamin Bi is soluble in water. F o r this reason, a large percent­ age of it m ay be lo s tif th e w ater in w hich a food is soaked o r cooked is discarded. O ther w ays in w hich this' precious vitam in is lost a re through refining cereals too highly, o r w hen the natu ral acidify of a food is low ered by the addition of an alkali. whole g rain cereals and legum es. If th e calories supplied by these foods a re not desired—a s w hen one is endeavoring to avoid gain­ ing w eight—vitam in Bi m ay be obtained from suitable quantities of bran and the g erm of th e grain. Foods That Help Promote Regularity In addition to providing vitam in Bi, w hich helps to serve as a so rt - of intestinal tonic, bran and m any fruits and vegetables help to add cellulose o r bulk to the diet. T heir fibrous fram ew ork is a g re a t aid in prom oting regular health hab­ its. Som e foods a re rich er th an oth­ ers in cellulose o r bulk. Good -sources o f' this substance being notably bran, whole g rain cereals, m ost ra w fru its; dried fruits, such as prunes, figs and raisin s; raw vegetables; such cooked vegeta­ bles a s onions and leafy greens; and legum es, th a t is, dried beans and peas. These foods, therefore, have a definite place in th e diet of n o r­ mal individuals. The homemaker should see to it that they are in* eluded regularly In h e r daily m enus. If th a t task is perform ed faith­ fully, it should help to develop a healthier and m ore'vigorous race. Questions Answered Chemical Identification M any , investigators sought for years to fathom .the secret of this m ysterious substance. A fter long research by m any distinguished investigators, two A m ericans reached a m ilestone in the history of nutritional science w hen they discovered the chem i­ cal structure of vitam in Bi and learned how to synthesize i t A Regulator of Body Processes In the course of th eir w ork w ith vitam in Bi,- nutritional scientists have discovered m any other im ­ portant functions of this vitam in. It has been determined that this substance is essential to growth and that H js also necessary to promote normal appetite. Labora­ tory experiments with animals re­ vealed th a t w hen fed upon a diet lacking vitam in B1, the anim als lost th eir desire for food and re ­ fused to e at until the vitam in w as restored to th eir diet. T h e re . is.- also som e evidence th a t vitam in Bi is necessary for the m aintenance oi norm al m us­ cular tone of th e large intestine. Aids Gastro-intestinal Tract C hem ical studies on 75 patients led one investigator to conclude Ih at a continual slight shortage of vitam in B leads to definite changes in the m otor and secre­ tory m echanism of the gastro-in­ testinal tract.

Sources of VHamm Bi Investigation has established that foods yielding a good amount of vitamin Bi include bran, milk, eggs, bananas, orange juice, car­ rots, spinach and cabbage.

Davis said In com­ menting on the . Red Cross Disaster' Relief Service report These catastrophes included cloud* bursts, cyclones, epidemics, fires, floods, forest fires, hailstorms, mine ex* ploslone, a school bus accident, a Bhl^ wreck, tornadoes, typhoons, and wind storms. "Disaster relief was the first humanl* tartan work of the American Red Cross after Its organization In 1881,” ' Ur- Davis said. "In the ensuing S7 y ean the dag of the Red Cross has flown- npon every scene of m ajor disaster In the United States. The Red Cross has carried relief—food, clothing, shelter, medical aid, rehabilitation of homes and families—to more than 2,200 scenes of disaster a t home and abroad, and has expended over 8140,000,000 con­ tributed by the American public in this work of mercy.” . The R ed Cross policies of relief, the national chairman pointed out, have been established over a period of years through-actual experience of its work­ ers In the field. Relief is given on the basis of need of sufferers—not of losses. Doans, he pointed out, are never made, but relief is a gift from the Red Cross In the name of its members and contributors to its work. . V I t would not be possible for the Red Cross to carry out such widespread relief activities, without the help of thousands of volunteer workers,” Mr. Davis said. “Volunteers are the main- " cf the organization, and in the past year’s work assistance from many cooperating agencies has made It pos­ sible for us to answ er the m any calls for help.” W hile relief was being given to vic­ tims of natural catastrophes, the Red Q tobs w as n et unmindful of the neces- .. sity for preparedness plans to meet 'emergencies that may arise In any American community. Red Cross chap­ ters In hundreds of counties have O^ ganized disaster preparedness commit­ tees charged with responsibility to map relief plans In advance of need, and to organize resources of communi­ ties to prevent duplication of effort and w aste of m aterials when calls for help are received. These plans are proving especially advantageous in localities subject to frequent floods, tornadoes, or h u n t canes, and actual tests of such plan­ ning have demonstrated the necessity for such measures. “The administration of such relief for disaster victims is made possible by annual memberships of millions’ of Americans in all walks of life,” Mt. Davls pointed out. “The extent of Red Cross aid to such sufferers is entirely dependent upon unselfish sharing on I the part of all of us.M Red Cross Nurses Aid Million SiJi Red Cross public health nurses made more than one million visits to or on - behalf of the sick during the fiscal year 1937-38. The patlentB live in mountain com- munities, on islands off the-coast, In isolated swamp regions, and in crowd-, ed industrial sections. During the same v period the nurses inspected 559,187 .. school children for health defects In cooperation with local physicians, and ^gave instructions In home hygiene and , care of the sick to 58,754 mothers and - young girls. : pw tro for n le af R ed C ro ss S eek s C it In A c cid en tT o II 1,725,406 First Aiders trained Since 1910 Cognizant of tremendous losses in human lives and of permanent injuries resulting from accidents In homes, on farms and highways, and around indus­ trial plants as well as in the basement workshop, officials of the American Red Cross have been directing a sys tematlc fight against what they, term “this economic waste.” .

One Billion Dollars. -We ordin- aiy folks, cannot visualize this stupendous amount of money yet this is what the Roosevelt New Deal Adpiinisilration is get) ing ready to ask Congress to vo e in January for the PWA. Tbe following disquieting dis­ patch came over the wires from Washington Monday: '‘Public Works Adminiitration officials indicated today they may seek another $1,000,000,000 from Congress when it convenes in Jan uary- ‘This was learned as PWA an­ nounced that it has exhausted tbe $965 ,000,000 voted by Congress last June and is’planning to ask a new appropriation early next year 'Officials said the amount to be requested had not been determined but that unfilled applications fot worthwhile projects would -requ*re at least $1,000,000,000 additional federal money.” It is doubtful if Congress with the new set-np" will vote this big sum of the taxpayers money. Con­ gressmen, except tbe extremists, are getting fed up on this wanton spending of money with no results accruing from it. In a talk before the New Bern Kiwanis Club the past week, Rep resentative Barden, Democrat of the third district said the idea, that the federal government is some sort of a spiritual Santa Claus having a treasury without bottom and al­ ways full of money have to be stop pert. Referriag to heavy governmental expenditures in recent years, the Third District Representative de­ clared that there will have to be a “slowing down” of federal appro­ priations.' ‘Whom it’s going to touch, I don’t know,” he said, "but no sensible group of men in Congress is going to wrecfc the United States treasury.”—Es. A Solemn Pledge. We wonder how many candidates who enter the primary stop to think of the solemn pledge they take in filing their name wiili the Borrd of Elections. We wonder, if they do think, how they get the consent of their, mind, in case of defeat in the pri­ mary, to violate that pledge so openly and in tbe face of thosewho may have supported them in the primaries. The pledge that every man takes when he enters his name reads as follows. “And I hereby pledge myself to abide by the results of said primary and to support in the next General Election all candidates • nominated by the (whichever party it is) party.” This obligation was dearly- vio­ lated in Yadkin county during the recent campaign and election.' We wonder what people who supported them,, altho they were not success ful, think of them.—Yadkin Ripple, “OaTo 1940.” Washington, Nov. 29 .—The Re­ publican national committee* assem >led today to re-enforce its election victories with a comprehensive two. year organization campaign. Plainly jubilant over part. gains iu congress they echoed HamiIton- “Republicaris in every part of the country appear to be united in the thought that we should push ahead. ‘On to 1940’ is the slogan.” EG U LA R BLOOD H O U N D S After Customers Jh O u r W an t A ds Cigarettes, Four Cents. To further explore the fallacy advanced by whatever politicians happen to be in power that the riub pi»y the federal taxes, we call your attention to a ten-cent package of cigarettes. The package is sealed with a government stamp, which cost six centes, leaving a balance of four cents,’ for what? The remaining four cents is for the cigarettes. It bears tbe cost of growing tobacco in tbe field, mark­ eting, storing, processing for manu Facture, the warehouseman’s profit, the manufacturer’s profit, the deal­ er’s profit, and tbe state' sales tax. A part of tbe money paid the farther goes to pay taxes. A part of the money paid laborers in mak. ing and distributing cigarettes all tbe way from the tobacco in tbe field until it is passed over the counter into the customer’s hands, goes to pay income taxes. ,A part of the dealer’s profit goes to pay several kinds ot taxes, including almost one-third of one cent state sales tax. Summing the situation up it seems that when you buy a pack­ age of cigarettes that you are pay­ ing more for taxes than for any­ thing else. A.campaign speaker in a county in this state went on the stump and told of how the government was giving the people public buildings. Such talk is pure, bosh! The government was only paying back a little of the money taken in - taxes. The federal government has Cnly two-states which pay nore taxes in­ to its . till than Notth Carolina. Pennsylvania received more ba k from the government than all the states south of the Masou-Dixon line, which, of course, includes It has always been a* popular fallasy by speakers of both parties to try to keep down the average man’s interest in federal taxes and expenditures by telling them 'that the rich men and corporations pay tbe bili.

There died recently in St. Louis *n aged woman, Mrs; Jeiinie Devlin who did without light, .heat, or water in her miserable hovel, who Iivedon the tood salvaged from garbage cans, anc who boasted she hadn’t bought a bit of clothing' for more than 20 years; When police searched the one room and attic in which , she lived in squalor they found -$13,635 secreted around the p’a :e,' saved evidently, for years, for much of it was in old-fashioned, paped bills and gold coins. This woman had enough to live in comfort,'yet she might as well saved old, newpapers or broken china dolls for all the. good the money, did:: her. Ity was just as valueless to her as if it had been counterfit coin. • r . It takes such'examples of miser. Iiness to teach us that money- isn’t everything in this world. In fact it is less than nothing unless we in. vest it in comforts for ourselves and our families and'happiness for others. Money is only the means to an end. When we forget this, as did that St. Louis woman, ■ we handicap 'ourselves, and sacrifice others about us.—Ex. What’s the Answer?By EDWARD FINCK IViHY OOTWEY CALL It A HONEYMOON? D ECAUSE in old-time Germany, newly married couples always drank during the first month or “moon” after marriage, a wine which was made from honey and dur­ ing this month they would keep apart from other people, making it a time of adjustments. Soon the idea of a voyage away from all things fa­ miliar took the • public fancy and that voyage acquired the name “honeymoon” ■ which it carries to this day long .after the custom which originated it is forgotten. ® Western Newspaper Union.

Then Woodrow' Wilson got the country into the. war he was elect­ ed to keep us out of, with the grand idea of “making democracy safe,” or such. And that experiment cost this country a hundred billion dollars, not to mentiori the millions of Americans maimed slaughtered and ruined for the rest of their -lives.

A Washington despatch relates that: “The Works Progress ad­ ministration is quietly preparing to drop thousands of persons from its relief rolls so. that its fnnds will not be exhausted before March 1, the ,deadline fixed by Congress last year when it voted $1,500,000 for relief.” . That says a great deal, but there is a great deal which the despatch does not say Director Hopkins knew exactly the. momment Congress adjourned, after handing him over his year’s allotments of hundreds of millions for disbursement to tbe needy un­ employed, that winter w ither creates a necessity for more spend, ing of such money than the warm er months. Why, then, ido you suppose be lavished it out during tbe summer and early fall .and then waited until the cold, season starts to annouce that it is now necessary to “drop thousands from the relief rolls” in order to make the money bags bold out until another . Congress can meet and give him some more mil lions to use? Could it have been possible that these vast relief rolls were built up prior to the November election for the subtle purpose of bolding them in line for “the party” and, now that the election is over and there remains n> such need for them longer, their own actual neediness must be neglected because of a shortage of funds? We are making no flat stale, ments about these probabilities. We are merely suggesting ques­ tions which spontaneously spurt up as a result of the announcement of- Fcially made from Wasbington that even though the cold months are upon tbe country, “thousands” are being dropped “from the relief rolls.” —Charlotte Observer. Another Court Clerk ... Goes Wrong. R. S. Boyce, Democratic clerk ol court of Gates iounty in Superici court tbe past week entered a plea of nolo contendre to a change of embezzling $^,190 of the county funds during bis less than one term of office and was sentenced to three to five years in the state prison. He was carried to Raleigh at once to begin his sentence. .

C. writes in the Indiana­ polis News: ■ “I noticed that the fellow was weaving in and out of traffic and getting on tbe wrong side of the street. It happened that/I was go­ ing his way and' followed. him out of town. He tooktbe curves too fast, passed somebody on. tbe brow of a hill, paid no attention- to the > yellow line, narrowly missed being involved in accidents several times and finally disappeared at a rate of speed ihat anybody would consider excessive. At tbe next town I caught up with him. The cover- of his spare tire interested me. In large letters it proclaimed: 'Drive Safely. GivetbeOtber Fellow a . Cham*’.” That’s why we so often have se­ rious traffic accidents. Wepaylip service to the safety principle and 'co-operate’ ’ with safety campaigns or movements to the extent of put­ ting tbe usual signs on our cars, attending safety meetings and talk- ing of tbe advisability of driving safely. Cut when we once get un­ der the steering wheel much of our... wisdom and our desire to save bu* man lives seems to'desert us, and we drive according to reckless im­ pulse instead of following the' com* mauds of discretion. Just wby we do this is one of tbe mysteries wrapped up in tbe per- ' petnal enigma.that is human na­ ture. We turn example against precept in many ways while driv­ ing. It bas been truly observed that some ot the politest of men in drawing-room circles are. among the most discourteous when they are under the steering wheel, and the meticulous office worker or housewife is often tbe most reck­ less of. car operators.

In his room, Hale finds a soiled paper, printed, "This plase danjerus.” Hale meets the rest of the strange group — Dr. Craig, psychiatrist friend of Bert Kneeland. nervous young son of Casper, and beautiful but moody Joan Kneeland, niece of the house. Ainsworth drops in at hiy'room, questions him about his reactions, and tells him of SertfS hope­less love for his heiress cousin, and that Mrs. Forbes is down and out. The whole group seem to get on each other’s nerves. Later, Hale sees Hosanna furtively meeting a shabby man in the woods. The maid tells ef the recent poisoning of a cat and dog. Mrs. Nash suggests that Ainsworth has some hold on them. Returodng from a swim. Hale finds in his room a clever sketch of skull and crossbones. Kneeland arrives for the week-end, also curious about Hale's re­actions and asks him to be his Substitute host, a “life of the party,” and meanwhile try to solve the mystery of the behavior of them all. Bert confides In Hale his grow­ing annoyance at Craig's nightly visits and endless talks of cadavers, parts of which he preserves, in his locked laboratory, taken care of only by himself, and Hale advises the boy to discourage the visits. He finds another sketch of a cobra coiled to strike, ivith the caption, "Why wate for .this?” CH APTER IV -C ontiD ned —10— The next fortnight w as spent by M t.

H e also in­ terrupted w ithout hesitation, and !.I. .L .J u ..u u ,I /lu.1 4)- I- medical yarns. He went on numer­ ous m otorboat excursions w ith B ert and was pained to find the youth in­ creasingly nervous and fidgety. He took frequent walks in the woods and along - the shore w ith Joan or Mrs, Spencer Forbes, Miss Hosanna explained that she herself had all the exercise she w anted, around the house. She had. She w as up early and late. She w as constantly busy. H ale picked up her balls of silk o r wool in h e r rest periods. H e played frequent gam es of desperation o r backgam m on w ith her. H e listened respectfully to her dietetic theories and h e r reiterated statem ents th a t all the dishes he likedbest w ere “poison.” H e becam e increasingly popular w ith Joe, B anks, and Rose, and w on Jan e’s h eart by friendly attention to Daisy. H e successfully concealed his in­ terest in the fact th at the anim al, so robust w hen she arrived, w as now in a low state of health. She m oped and objected to petting. Hehadtwo m ore long talks with C asper Knee­ land. Once Kneeland again referred to his wife’s tragic death. “ She had puerperal insanity,” he explained. “She tried to give m e another son, and it finished her. I haven’t spoken of it since,, not even to B ert. Can’t bear, to talk about it.” H ale took care of all letters to C asper K neeland w hich cam e to H alcyon C am p. H e w rote a num ­ b e r of letters of his own. Two of these w ere addressed to distin­ guished psychiatrists he knew,.,one of them in Chicago and the other— to w hom he had once .been of som e service—in P aris. U nostentatiously and w ith considerable ingenuity he secured the fingerprints of m ost m em bers of the household. Those prints, w hen developed, m ight lead to the discovery of the m ysterious artist a t H alcyon C am p, and the w riter of the anonym ous letters.. H is collection of letters and Sketches had grow n. T here w as a sketch of a grave and a tombstone w ith his nam e on the latter. T herewere dancing skeletons labeled in ^ ggmc way, They reminded him rather uncannily of his dream, after the first office interview with Cas­ per K neeland. T here w as a large sketch of a skull. It w as treated w ith a phosphorescent preparation and grinned a t him' brilliantly from the foot of his bed' one night, after the lights w ere off. T here w ere m ore m isspelled notes, urgently re­ peating the advice of the original note th a t he leave H alcyon Cam p. On one occasion there w as a frog in his bed. L ater a colony of:: ants w ere sheltered there. Several nights, after this, half a- dozen w asps w ere let loose in his room .. Tw ice his room w as upset—his bed-dism an­ tled, the furniture overthrow n, a w hirlw ind'of new spapers and to rn scraps tossed about. Once Rose dis­ covered this and cleaned it up.. H ale m ade no explanation, and. the. m aid’s m anner w as distant for sev­ e ra l days. The othier tim e he found the litter', first and cleared it aw ay him self ;. Why should som eone be so anxious to get rid of him ? He didn’t teU anyone about the petty persecutions, but he w as increasing­ ly irritated by them. . Meanwhile, he chafed mentally under his apparent lack of the "progress” Kneeland wordlessly de­ m anded. H e held him self in w ith a interests of these people," he re­ m inded him self. “ I’ll turn them inside out before I get through with them . B ut not yet." The objects of his special study were the two younger Kneelands. He was increasingly disturbed about them both. B ert w as riding for a nerve crash. H e w as increasingly m oody and erratic. B ut it w as Joan who w as H ale’s greatest interest. He w alked, sw am , talked w ith her daily. H e danced w ith her a t night. They discussed countless subjects w ith apparent in­ tim acy. V et he never felt th at he really knew her. If she had been the victim of a desperately unhappy love affair, she m ight have looked and acted as she often did—like a detached being, w andering in space. A t such tim es it w as im possible to interest or am use her. A t others she w as anim ated, alm ost gay. T here w ere hours, even days, w hen she w as as natu ral w ith him as she w as w ith B ert. T here w ere oth­ e r hours w hen she teased him un­ m ercifully. She professed herself young H ale. H e h ad started some­ thing, He rather wished he hadn't, The whole thing m ight be nothing entirely too much importance in their talk. H e returned w ith his plate, m editating on the best w ay to let down the exuberant youngster. at the other end of the table.. Be­ fore Undertaking this he swallowed a cup of coffee. He felt better. Si­ multaneously Joan entered the room . Both m en w ere startled by her pallor and the dark circles un­ der h e r eyes, but she seem ed in good spirits. She sm iled and nod­ ded, and H ale hurried to the side­ board to serve her. H e . always, m oved w ith surprising lightness and agility for so large a young m an. “A little of everything?" he asked as he raised dish covers. “H eavens, no.” Jo an shuddered.. “ You ought to know by this tim e th a t I’m never interested in break­ fast. Only a slice of hot toast and a glass of orange juice, please. And yes, R ose, T ll have som e coffee. Thanks.” H ale brought h e r the toast and or­ ange juice and 'returned *to his own. breakfast, feeling soft-pedaled. H e -w as'.im pressionable. It had not taken him long to discover th at In the speeding roadster the tw o m en w ere silent. one of his countless victim s, and as­ sured him th a t his indifference w as blasting her life. “W hat’s really the m a tte r with Joan K neeland?” he once asked C raig, w hen he could endure the problem no longer. The- psychiatrist looked a t him in surprise. “N erves,” he said-coldly, “H alf our young girls a re like th a t now­ adays. Too m any bad habits,” "She hasn’t any bad habits,” Hale insisted, “except perhaps that she smokes too much.” “F a r too m uch,” the doctor agreed. H is thin U ps' sm iled un­ pleasantly. “ H er love affair; w ith B ert isn’t helping any,” he ended. “W hat the devil do you m ean by th at?” “Ju st w hat I ,say.

He’s crazy about her and she knows i t She-know s he is . suffering. ‘P ity is akin to love.’ Perhaps, after all, n ature is trying to push h er into m arrying him .” “ D am n you,” H ale said under his breath. It w as the first tim e he had lost his tem per w ith any of them . H e w alked aw ay, fum ing un­ d e r the m em ory of C raig’s lifted eyebrow s and ironic sm ile. One M onday m orning—the third after H ale’s arrival a t the C am p— C asper K neeland cam e down to his eight o’clock breakfast. He found his new em ployee already a t the ta-ble, consuming eggs and bacon, Wfip dressed in his new grajr business suit, There was an air alertness and energy about him which Kneeland privately felt was oppressive when exhibited before nine o’clock in the m orning. He greeted H ale w ith a nod and am bled over tow ard the hot dishes on the sideboard. “ Good m orning, sir,”, the secre­ tary said cheerfully. “ I !thought if you didn’t m ind T d drive into town w ith you.” . “Eh?. W hat’s, the idea of that?” K neeland interrupted bis inspec­ tion of the breakfast dishes to turn and stare a t his .godson.. Realizing th a t his attitude w as not hospitable he;, added gloomily, “It w ill be hot- to 'New Y ork.” : , “ It w ill|” H ale agreed. “ B ut w hen there’s w ork to be done I like to get started.” “Uh huh.” K neeland filled his plate. He w as alw ays at his . w orst before break­ fast, and^he hated cheerfulness and conversation in others till he had drunk his, coffee. He w as also ex­ periencing som e dark doubts as to the wisdom of his arrangem ent with " " : ■' i >. the life of the house-party would not be required to function a t break­ fast. N evertheless, it w as. a tim e' when he alw ays felt a t his best. H e ate eggs and kidneys and bacon and three hot m uffins and w aited for som eone else to speak. No one did. R ose refilled the coffee cups as se rio u s^ a s if perform ing a reli­ gious rite. U n d e C ass stoked sol­ em nly and grew m ore reconciled to life. A t last Joan spoke. "We have now reached the point w here it is safe to sm ile' across the table a t U ncle,” she told H ale. “ Not hands across the table, you know— m erely sm iles. Don’t speak y e t You have com m itted several tim es since you cam e to us the faux pas of w ishing U ncle ‘good m orning.’ ” “I have.” H ale sighed. • “And a frost hung over the table and icicles hung from U ncle’s eye­ brow s, w hile the hot. food congealed on the sideboard. I know,” Joan said sym pathetically. “ I saw it all every tim e you did it. I used to do it every m orning w hen I firSt cam e to live w ith U nde.' I , w as young and heedless then. A t la st I learned th at if I neither breathed nor spoke till he had eaten his breakfast, all would be well. H e’s quite hum an, from half p ast eight on.” R ex looked a t his w atch. “It’s only eight tw enty now ,” he said under his breath, 'Tve already told, him I thought I’d drive to New York with Mm! You see, Joan, our »le has given me one of ta government emergency jobs, to keep m e busy during the sum m er. I myself must find the work dor my little hands to do.

T hat’s in direct vi­ olation of theicode. If I catch him a t it there w ill be som ething doing in the industrial w orld.” “If there is, it w ill be the first tim e this sum m er,” K neeland groaned. B ut be swallowed his third cup of coffee w ith resignation and w inked a t Joan. “ Thinks pretty w ell of him ­ self, this lad,” he told her. “ Did you h ear him calling you Joan? And be­ fore he had been in the house three w eeks!” “D id I do th at?” R ex looked sur­ prised and then thoughtful. “I sup­ pose it w as because I alw ays think of h er th a t w ay. W here do you w ant me to stop, Uncle Cass, the days I’m in tow n?” “I suppose you m ight as w ell com e to the house,” K neeland said resignedly. "I’m in it nights from Mondaystoraays1Ihaveadarky there to keep the place in order and get m y breakfasts.” “H e m ay keep you there, too, if you never speak before nine,” Joan contributed. “And if he occasionally stops speaking after nine,” K neeland m ut­ tered. “ Y our luncheons and din­ ners you can take w herever you like, R ex, as I do.” “I w onder if I like the nam e of R ex,” Joan m used aloud. “ Of course you do. It’s a beauti­ ful nam e. You’ll find th at it com es very trippingly from the tongue.”‘Mt it rather pretentious! I thought only young m en in boohs had it.” “There are a few poor devils in real life who struggle along under it, too,” Rex confessed with sudden gloom. / “If you’re going to New York with me, young man,” Kneeland broke in, “you will be at the front door in five minutes.” “ And in five pieces in ten m inutes. I know. W ill you excuse m e, Joan? I’ll break a lance for you during the com bat of the day. O r perhaps it w ill be only the springs.of U ncle’s car. I think I’ll drive.” H e raced upstairs for his hat, raced down again, flung him self into the roadster Joe had left a t the front door, and seized the wheel. K neeland lum bered after him , and Jo an stared after thein both. W hat inexhaustible vitality th at young m an had! It w as im possible to think of him as ill or suffering; and yet he had been both, and th a t very recently. She herself felt like a rag. She decided to go back to her room and re st a b it before the bathing hour. The bathing hour seem ed to take a lot out of her. She w ent upstairs w ith dragging steps. In the speeding roadster the two m en w ere silent. K neeland w as ob­ serving. H ale’s driving and deciding th a t it w as all right. The younger m an’s thoughts w ere on the girl he had ju st left.

We don’t beiieve this hap* pens because he brought back Ii quor to this country, and legalized the. sale oi all kinds of alcoholic drinks. In his. speech he didn't S iJ that Nortb Carolina was in de sperate condition, and was the country’s number one problem. Seems like the more Secretary Wallace tries to do for the farmer, the worse shape the said farmer finds himself in. What we want to see ■ again is the good old days, when the farmer grew just what he wanted to grow. In those days the price of wheat seldom went under $i per bushel, and the price of corn was from 75c to $1 per bushel. We had a world market for our surplus farm crops, while today we have to Import not only grain but meats that should be grown in the south and west. Last year this country imported more than 127,000,000 pounds of pork. Such things never happened until after the New .Deai was born. Defeat Tobacco And/ Cotton In Davie. Davie county cotton and tobacco farmers went to the polls Saturday and voted against the cotton and tobacco control bill. ’ The vote in Davie was as follows: For cotton, 425 ; against 361, a majority of 64 against Fortobacco 3331 against 250 , a majority of 83 against. The cotton and tobacco :ontrol both lost in North Carolina, and the tobacco lost In all tobacco states, which means that tobac­ co growers can grow all the tobacco they want, and sell it without pay­ ing any tax on surplus poundage. The cotton control won a two- birds majority in the cotton grow ing states", and cotton farmers will be allotted certain acreage, as here- Farmington News.

The Bomance of Yoar Name By RUBY HASKINS ELLIS A Page? r I 'HIS was a name given to youths * between the ages of seven and fourteen while receiving their edu­ cation for knighthood. It is derived from the Latin word “pagius." meaning a youth attending the king. Later it was applied to a bo; hold­ ing a similar position for other per­ sons of high degree. Today in the house of representatives and sen­ ate in Washington we Iiave youths serving In die snme capacity. This I * office was much sought by boy* ol noble parentage and was by no means looked upon as servile. It Ia likewise today a mark of honor foi a boy to be appointed In this ca­ pacity In our n.itlonal capital. The first name as a surname was assumed by John de Paghain. in 1151, a bishop , of Worcester, Eng­ land, who also acted as instructor to pages and presided over a board­ ing school during the course of In­ struction. The school was called the Pagham. or “Pages Home.1* Tradition has it that four Page brothers came to America together.. One of them went to the South ant established the noted southern fam­ ily of tills name. He changed the spelling to Paige. These brother* were from the counties of Wlckle marsh and Bedford, England. John Page, from Norfolk, Eng­ land, came over with Governor Wln- tbrop’g party. One of other Pages to settle In New England, most of whom were related, was John, of Sndhnry, Middlesex county, Bng land. It was he who founded the noted southern family of Pages. Hr was a member of the king’s council and served the colony in many oso ful ways.

He A 7 7 had an audienceA g a m a t 7 7 an(J cam e out full of business and stepping high. A friend, w ho-was doing busi­ ness there th at day, reports to m e th a t the peppy visitor w as W illiam G. D urant, tw ice head of G eneral M otors, once the m aster of $100,000,040, and that, a t the age of 77, M r. D urant w as scouting new capital for another big tourney in m otor finance. M y friend couldn’t learn w heth­ e r he got it, but said be had h eard there w as a deal on which might pul Ml DofHtlt 1)11 tilt m ain line again. H e said the lit­ tle Napoleon of early day auto finance looked a s if he w ere about to m erge all com panies and skim the cream . It w as in 1910 that the bankers crow ded M r. D urant out of the pres­ idency of G eneral. M otors. H e w as back in 1915 and out again in 1920, in the post-w ar crash, in w hich he jettisoned $90,000,000 of his own m oney, trying to stop the down- slide of the stock. He took his losses casually and w as busy for years in daring m arket forays, but never quite converted any of his passes. An acquaintance of this w riter, who knew M r. D urant well, told m e how he laughed off his second re- M nquishment of his m otors kingdom. “ I built the greatest autom o­ bile building In the world, a t D etroit,” he said, according to m y inform ant, “ and when I did it, I fixed it so they won’t soon forget m e. H idden som ew here in every colum n and every capi­ tal and big stack of that building there is a deeply chiseled D. There w asn’t anything anon­ ym ous about th at job, and I took good care to leave m y m ark on it.” So did the king in Kipling’s poem, w hen he w as pulled off his big pal­ ace building job, when “ They said thy use is fulfilled.” He “Carved on every tim ber and cut on every stone,” and the poem concludes, “A fter m e com eth a builder; tell him I, too, have known.” POR several years, Dr. Karl T. *■ Compton, president of M assachu- jCttS Institute of Technology and one Glacier Priest Returns From Alaskan Trip PflfM lClKre* no m anig JanJ C o v e m m e n I between an ex- C o lla b o ra tio n Pending govern­ m ent and an ex­ panding technology. He thinks they ought to get together but he is no advocate of bureaucracy or extrem e federalization. H e doesn’t like the idea of the governm ent getting on anybody’s neck. H e thinks the gov­ ernm ent, w ith its vast resources, m ight be an invaluable collaborator w ith science, and should be, in' fact, but he advances this idea w arily, as he finds creativeness and social progress in the old A m erican free- for-all, without elaborate govern­ m ental trim m ings. H e never claim ed an ivory tow er, and sees the problem in its sim ple social com ponents of jobs; a rising standard of living, social progress and security. He notes the job-killing potentiali­ ties of the m achine, in certain individual instances, and as­ sesses industrial m anagem ent w ith finding a corrective. This qualified adm ission is In sharp contrast to the view of Dr. . R obert Andrews M illikan, another distinguished scientist who has wrestled with the same problem. Doctor M fc Ia Ior hawing h throttle wide open, with the certain- Iy H machines imalely will make more jobs titan tbejr destroy, s Both, however, prescribe as a cure fo r our technological ills m ore of the hair of the dog th at bit us. The difference in view is th at Dr. Compton urges certain coUective rationalizations and judicious self- im posed controls by industry and m anagem ent. F o r m any years D r. Compton h as been blasting a t the inner citadel of the atom to seize there the hidden golden key of u n lim ­ ited pow er which has long been the ,“pie in the sky” of the g reat physicists. He hatters down a - ra m p a rt now and then, and, in ' y the long view of the scientists, thinks that we m ay som e day ta p reservoirs of energy so vast th a t all our present ills will be easily soluble therein.

That ye love one another; as have* loved you, that*ye also love-one another.—John 13:34. Lesson subiects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. The h eart of all m oral law is found in the Ten C om m andm ents, but the very h eart of the com m and­ m ents is the “new com m andm ent” of C hrist, th a t w e love God w ith our w hole being and love our neighbors as ourselves. F or if w e have th at perfect devotion to God w e shall keep H is com m andm ents (John 15: 9, 10), and shall show our love to our neighbors by positive acts of interest and devotion, as w ell as by refraining from falsehood, violence and im purity. The m essage of our . lesson today is one w hich w ill strike hom e to the h earts of honest and earnest m enand women. Benwe^inthe revealing light of G od's Holy Word w e cry out for forgiveness for the m an n er in w hich we have failed truly to represent our Ixird in the world, and in p ray er for grace to live as we should. L et no unbeliev* e r who reads these w ords use them as a basis for criticism of his Chris­ tian neighbor; but let him consider his own need of the regenerating and enabling grace of God. O ur outline for today we borrow w ith thanks from Points for E m ­ phasis, by D r. H ight C. M oore. It so aptly presents the tru th that it m erits our study. I. S tandard of the New C om m and­ m ent (M att. 5:43-48). “ Love your enem ies” (v. 44), th at is the standard w hich C hrist has established for H is followers. W hile the love one has for the brethren is w ithout doubt a m ore intim ate relationship than the love one m ay have for an enem y, w e m ust not seek to m inim ize the real love we should have even for those who curse and revile us. It is to m ove u s so deeply th at we not only tre a t them kindly, blit also pray for them . H um anly speaking such a thing is im possible, b u t in C hrist it is not only possible, it has actually been dem onstrated in life. It is so easy for C hristians to speak w ith derision th a t borders on h atred about “the devil’s gang,” to lose all love for the crow d th at hangs around the tavern and the gam bling house. L et us h ate their sin, but m ay God help us to show th a t w e really love them .n. Scope of the New Com m and­ m ent (M att. 22:34-40). It is as high as God, a s deep as the low est sinner, and as w ide as the circle of all m ankind. Amai must be right ii Cod il IeisitiiliaiiIIIIliM IifBtt Tote til does not m ean a half-hearted one- day-a-w eek interest in ..religious m atters, and th a t only up to the point w here they do not interfere w ith our own interests and desires. To love God m eans'to give H im the devotion of our entire being. Loving one’s neighbors does not just m ean the m an next door. E ven that is none too easy a t tim es; and som e o f us realize th a t we have failed even there. B ut the m an in Sweden, China, G erm any, anyw here on this earth, is our neighbor and needs our love. -T here are no “ for­ eigners” in God’s thinking about love; no poor o r rich, no ignorant, no m em bers of “ another social or­ d e r”—they a re all our neighbors. III. Spirit of the New C om m and­ m ent (John 13:34, 35). “As I have loved you”—th a t is the sp irit th a t is to m ove us to love our neighbor. God is love, and it w as alw ays H is w ill th a t m en should love one another. B ut the new ele­ m ent in this com m andm ent of C hrist is th at He, the final and per­ fect revelation of God’s love, had com e to give H is life in loving serv­ ice and sacrificial atonem ent. P aul caught the sp irit of this com m and- m ent w hen lie said, “The love oiGhrift conshisth is” III Cor, 3; 14), There is the real motive, the true ice, IV. Sacrifice in the New Com­ m andm ent (John 15:12-14). Love draw s no lim iting line be­ yond w hich it will not go. Love says: “ I count not m y life d ear if in giving it I m ay bring deliverance to m y friends.” Som e folk talk piously of their love for God, but are not w illing to go even across the street to speak to a soul about H im . If w e love H im we would willingly go to the ends of the earth for H im , or con­ tentedly serve H u n in w hat seem s to be a forgotten com er. We shall not question H is guidance nor blush to own H is nam e, even though the testim ony m ay m ean ou r death. This we shall do for C hrist’s sake, and for the sake of a suffering hu­ m anity. The w riter thinks of John and Betfy Stam whom he w as privileged to te a c h 'in the classroom s of the Moody Bible Institute, and who not long afterw ard poured out their gal­ lant young lives in m artyrdom for C hrist in China. “G reater love hath no m an than this th a t a m an lay down his life for his friends,” Home Made Dolls For Yoiuig and Old B y RU TH W YETH SPEA RS 'T 'H IS C hristm as it is not ju st th e children who w ill receive dolls a s gifts.

This w insom e little erm ine jacket is worn over the new crinoline hoop-skirted gown such as w e of this generation had heretofore regarded as be­ longing to the daguerreotype age b u t now a t fashion’s com m and we are accepting it as “latest style” w ith high enthusiasm . The jacket fits prim and snug a t the w aistline, is cut aw ay in front and has huge buttons of the erm ine. The ador­ able m uff speaks for itself. The costum e to the left affirm s the continued style prestige of the black-and-w hite costum e them e. This perfect black-with-white frock is the sort th a t w ill supply you w ith th e lift of assurance so necessary to poise as you take the speaker’s platform a t your club.

Apropos of the large m uff versus tiny m uff see the huge affair that gives distinction to the m odish out­ fit pictured in the oval inset. The tiny collar of this handsom e after­ noon coat and the m uff of generous proportions are of m arten-dyed skunks The big bow so conspicu­ ously positioned on the m uff is of the identical cloth that fashions the coat, the edges left casually frayed, w hich goes to show w hat unexpected and audacious whim s the new m uffs exploit. Fullness in the sleeves and gathers a t the jo k e line lend flat­ tering softness to this afternoon coat m ade of s ta r sapphire blue tweed. The wool dress underneath and the felt h a t are bright plum . This star­ tling com bination of blue and plum is typical of the out-of-the-ordinary color alliances to be seen this sea­ son. The purpose of the new m uffs is not only to be useful but they m ust com plem ent tbe costum e in a dec­ orative w ay. In creating these m uffs designers a re going as fa r as they please in evolving cunning and w him sical confections th a t delight the eye.

Fruit Juices Essential to Sound Teeth By PATRICIA LINDSAY ((IiiT A N Y savage tribes have won- A v l derful teeth in spite of the fact they never clean them and do not know w hat a tooth brush is. It is largely due to the plentiful use of fruits, the juices of which have a valuable cleansing effect.” “ In recent y ears,” a m edical book goes on to state, “ som e dental au­ thorities have advocated cleaning the teeth with fruit juices or food acids, such as diluted cider vinegar, instead of the usual alkaline tooth pow ders. It is claim ed that fruit acids prom ote the increased flow of saliva and in this way bring about a g reater alkaline condition of the m outh within a few m inutes. Saliva, Plenty of fresh fruit Juices for beauty! as you know, is naturally alkaline. Furthermore fruit is somewhat anti­ septic and is always healthful.” When fruit is reasonable in price and plentiful you should eat much of it. Especially fruits with juices. And you should drink fruit juices without sugar to reap the greatest benefit and nourishment. Right Foods-Aid " ToothHealth T here is one factor in m aintaining sound and healthy teeth which is com m only overlooked, especially w hile a child is growing. T hat is which foods tend to strengthen and prolong the life of teeth. If the diet is lacking in the elem ents for build­ ing teeth and boneS, then decay and loss of teeth is alm ost inevitable. M edical authorities com m only agree on certain foods rich in lim e and organic m ineral salts, such ,as whole w heat bread in preference to w hite bread; shredded w heat and whole grain products such as oat­ m eal will help to build strong healthy teeth. Milk and eggs are both rich in lim e. And vegetables eaten with the w ater in which they a re cooked are strongly recom ­ m ended. Children and adults alike should eat natural foods, calling- for exer­ cise of the teeth and supplying all the elem ents provided by nature. And every child should be trained early in life in the care of the teeth and in m outh.’ hygiene. 6 BeU Syndicate.—WNU Service.

Houston Goudiss Discusses the Child Who Has a Lagging Appetite; Tells What to Do for the Finicky Eater By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS I T HAS been well said that with the knowledge of nutrition now'at the command of practically every mother, there should not be one ill-nourished child in our land. Unfor­ tunately, statistics show that possibly one-half of the children in this country are either underweight, undernourished or malnourished. Many factors may be responsible for this state of affairs. Some children are fed incor-^- rectly owing to the fact that the family income is small and the mother has not learned how to utilize low-cost foods that are rich in protective minerals and vitamins in place of those that, are higher priced. In other families, the mothers do not realize the impor­ tance of providing a well-rounded diet for growing chil­ dren. But the prob­ lems of these homemakers are more easily reme­ died, perhaps, than those of mothers who plan a well- balanced diet, but find that their child lacks interest in, or even refuses to eat the food that has been pre­ pared so carefully. Developing the Right AftihiJe Strange as it may seem, such difficulties often arise because a mother fails to give the necessary consideration to developing in the young child a proper attitude to­ ward food.. Some children need to be taught that they must eat enough food for their body re­ quirements,. It is part of the training th£y should have in early childhood, so that they develop a willingness to eat what is put be­ fore them, to try new foods when offered, and to become increas­ ingly independent in making a wise selection at mealtimes. K a child has been properly con­ ditioned In these respects from his earliest y ears, m others w ill sel­ dom find them selves faced w ith a “ child who w ill not eat.” Problem of Anorexia AU norm al children w ill, a t tim es, exhibit a lack of appetite. W e a re not concerned here w ith occasions w hen a child w ho usu­ ally eats w ell feels no desire for food. Such lack of appetite m ay m ean the beginning of a cold or som e other illness and should be carefully investigated. U nfortu­ nately, how ever, m any m others of young children a re faced w ith a chronic' lack of appetite in their children—a condition th a t physi­ cians describe as anorexia. In or­ d e r to correct this condition, it is necessary to understand its causes and to use w isdom in help­ ing to rem ove them . Rnd the Causes W hen a child chronically lacks interest in food, th e m other should' se t about system atically to learn the reasons w hy. Possibly the co­ operation of your physician w ill be required, for som etim es ob­ scure physical, causes m ay be re­ sponsible, spch as faulty elim ina­ tion, diseased tonsils o r teeth or som e other focal infection. O n the other hand, it frequently occurs th a t a changed attitude on Oie p a rt of the m other in presenting food .is all th a t is necessary to alter com pletely a child’s attitude in reg ard to his m eals. It is interesting to note, how­ ever, th a t in studying a large group of children w ith poor appe­ tites, one investigator found th at 82 p er cent of the children w ere m ore than average -in height and narrow in body build. Faulty Diet May Destroy Appetite Frequently, a child’s lack of in­ terest in food may be traced di­ rectly to poor choice^ among the foods presented to him. It has been repeatedly demonstrated, for example, that when the diet lacks vitamin Bi, appetite decreases, so that there is less desire for food of any kind. Then, too, when a child’s diet contains too much fat, digestion may be delayed and this in turn may interfere with the ap­ petite for the next meal. While some children thrive better with a between-meal feeding, in others it seems to destroy appetite for the meal that is to follow. And with some children, ‘“fussiness” at mealtimes may be due to the fact that their diet contains too many concentrated foods, too few crisp raw ones that stimulate ap­petite. Fatigue a Factor O ccasionally, a child does not eat w ell m erely because he is too tired. E ven thought he obtains ade­ quate sleep a t night, too m uch or too prolonged exercise o r excite­ m ent m ay resu lt in fatigue during the day. B a child spends too m uch tim e w ith adults, overstim ­ ulation m ay be the result. And in the case of. older children, th eir school w ork m ay be troubling them . A nother frequent cause of lag­ ging appetite is ,the constant nerv­ ous tension to be observed in som e households. If a child is al­ low ed to becom e unhappy, angry, o r w orried over som e uncom plet­ ed school assignm ent, it m ay in­ terfere seriously w ith his appe­ tite and consequently w ith his nu­ trition. W ith younger children, the fa c t th a t they a re able to a t­ tra c t favorable attention from adults, by refusing to e a t often stim ulates them to rep eat th e ir refusal a s long a s . m other shows concern over th eir antics. Parents' Attitude Important This brings u s to perhaps the m ost im portant facto r in dealing w ith th e young, finicky e a te r who e ats sparingly and w hose dislikes usually fa r outnum ber his likes.

In cooking vegetables, keep th e pieces large enough so /Ir th a t the child can identify w hat h e is eating. Include a crisp food in T1 each meaL FInaHyt remember that a child’s eating Uabits cannot be changed overnight. Changes should be introdneed gradually, so that he is scarcely aware of what is going on.®—WNU-C. Houston Goudiss—1938-40.

It has bought up a lot of clothing from Eattside sweatshops in New York and other places and in addition to feeding thirteen million people is now proceeding to clothe them. The biggest mass distribution of clothing in peacetime history, now in progress, is being done so quiet­ ly by state and WPA officials that hardly a line about it, has appear, ed in the press.' The clothes are the 7 500,000 snr plus garments for men, women and children that the Government bought from manufacturerd at a cost of $15,000,000 to provide a stimulus for employment. Of this, $8 ,500,000 went for 1- 100,000 men’s and boys’ suits and overcoats, $t,432 ‘ooo for 400,000 womends and children's garments, the remainder for hundreds of thou­ sands of knitted dresses, sweaters, mackinaws, jackets and raincoats. Three groups are receiveng the clothes: First, destitute unemploy, ables who have no source of income of any kind; second, state relief re­ cipients without jobs; third, WPA workers, and those receiving old- age pensions and unemployment in­ surance. Like the government farm con- rol which has hit the rocks, we can see nothing in the distribution of clothing but failure.

The Duke Power Co., thcongb its president, 'E. C. Marshall, of Charlotte, has notified Mayor C S. Garyson, of High Point, that if the city erects its own power plant it need not expect to receive any aid from the Duke Power Co., for standby service should the munici­ pal plant at any time break' down and refuse to function. Marshall said that if High Point should construct the proposed plant and thereby engage in the compe- Sition with the Duke Power Com­ pany in the generation, sale and distribution of’eiectrie energy, the Duke Power Company could not be compelled and would not undertake to furnish service to ,the city. A reply [which came ' from the office of City Manager E. M.

This ground swell of New Deal opposition, more significant because of its upward trend than in the actual strength shawn in this election, can rise to great heights in 1940, and the warning to the New Dedl is clear and defiand.

It would regulate the amount of advertising a manufacturer could use, and die. tate the type of the advertisement.

Tousethew ordsofthe proponents of the scheme, this is a step toward restricting advertising to build up trade qames is “waste­ ful” and calculated to hurt the busi­ ness of the competitor. All of this seems rather amazing. Has it become reprehensible to es­ tablish a good reputation and boast about it through advertising? Incidentally the . Brain Busters have denied any intention of shack­ ling the free press. What do they think would be the effect of this plan to force reduction of adver tising budgets?

Nearly four million dollars would be extracted fron the people of North Carolina if this tav were ,put into effect. Wallace says 30 cents a bushel tax on wheat would mean half a cent a loaf on a pound of bread. Secretary Wallace’s advocacy of a processing tax of 30 cents a bush­ el of wheat should arouse the re­ sentment of every bread consumer In the country for the consumer will be the one who will,pay the tax in increased emit of every day food necessities. In 1933-26 the government col­ lected $960,720,397 in revenue from processing trxes on food and wear- ing apparel. Re-imposition of this processing taxes means a sales tax on necessary food and clothing. Surely the Roosevelt Administra­ tion will not all6w:tfais tax to be put on the poor people of the na­ tion.

Appleton—Centory Co., b a .WNCSenieo SYNOPSIS Young Rex Hale calls on Casper Knee* land, friend of his father, in New York, and finds him proudly successful but strangely preoccupied. He tells Hale of his WifetS death while insane, invites him for the sum* mer to Halcyon Camp, his home on Long Island, and promises him he will be “useful” as his secretary there. Hale is joined at lunch by Fred Ainsworth, an unpopular col­ lege mate, also at Halcyon, who leaves him with a feeling of unpleasant mystery. He is met at the train by Mrs. Wilbur Nash, whom he questions about the menage, and experiences a disturbing premonition. The premonition is barely eased by the com­ fortable hospitality of Hosanna. KneelandtS elderly sister, and her friend, Ruth Forbes, middle-aged sophisticate. In his room. Hale finds a,soiled paper, printed, ttThb plase danjerus.” Hale meets the rest of the strange group — Dr. Craig, psychiatrist friend of Bert Kneeland, nervous young son of Casper, and beautiful but moody Joan Kneeland, niece of the house. Ainsworth drops in at his room, questions him about his reactions, and tells him of BerttS hope­less love for his heiress cousin, and that Mrs. Forbes is down and out. .The whole croup soem to get on each other's nerves. Later, Hale sees Hosanna furtively meeting a shabby man in the woods. Ibe maid tells of the recent poisoning of a cat and dog. Mrs. Nash suggests that Ainsworth has some hold on them. Returning from a swim. Hale finds in his room a clever sketch of skull and crossbones. Kneeland arrives for the week-end, also curious about Hale's re­actions and asks him to be his substitute host, a "life of the party/* and meanwhile try to solve the mystery of the behavior of them all. Bert confides in Hale his grow­ing annoyance at Craig's nightly visits and endless talks of cadavers, parts of which he preserves in his locked laboratory, taken care of only by himself, and Hale advises the boy to discourage the visits. He finds another sketch of a cobra coiled to strike, with the caption, "Why wate for this?" He writes to two famous psychiatrists, collects fingerprints from the notes and sketches, and leaves for New York. CHAPTER IV—Continnca -11- R ex IeIt K neeland a t his office and added the roadster to the impressive collection in the factory’s parking space. A pparently, every employee of the K neeland Com pany rode Iux- . uriously to w ork in his own autom o­ bile, and m any of the cars w ere m ore expensive than the president’s. R ex w as now free to follow his own plans. He hustled to the near­ e st telephone booth. W hat he w ant­ ed w as the nam e and address of a fingerprint expert not associated w ith police activities. H e had no idea how to get it. H e finally called up the editor of an engineering m ag­ azine to w hich he subscribed. The editor had not the inform ation he w anted, and explained th a t it w as not in his line; but he referred the questioner to som eone who could give it. R ex called up this authori­ ty, and got an expert’s address. W ithout leaving the booth he called up the latter’s telephone num ber. It w as not yet ten o’clock. The finger­ prin t m an w as in his office. H ale got him on the w ire and asked for an appointm ent. Yes, he could have one alm ost at once—say a t half p a st ten. The factory w as down­ town n ear the E ast R iver. By the subw ay it would take R ex fifteen m inutes to get to the A ngerprint bureau. H is next step m ust be to get in touch w ith som e friends or acquain­ tances who knew A insworth a lot. better than he him self did. He racked his brains for nam es of as­ sociates in Ithaca who had later settled in New York. H e finally had a list of three. One of these w as not in the telephone book. The sec­ ond, w hose New York office he prom ptly reached by telephone, w as in South A m erica. Gloomily he put in a call for the third m an, a m an he really knew w ell and had liked a lot in Ithaca. H e had a b it of luck. H e did not expect to find G eorge Stiiyvesant in tow n a t this season. B ut yes, a clerk said, M r. Stuyve­ san t w as in town—though not yet in his office. As he rode uptown in the sub­ w ay express, R ex considered his problem s. H e has discovered th at Frederick A insworth had an office on E ast Forty-second Street. H e w ould-visit it, but w here w ould that g et him ? Ainsworth w as devoting little o r'n o Jim e to his professional interests these, days, even if he had any. H is office m ight be closed. H ale could find out about that, a t least. Then w hat would he do? S tart an effort to learn som ething about C raig’s intim ate affairs. T hat effort m ight be even m ore futile. A insw orth w as a t least in H ale’s own line of w ork. Sooner or later he could find out a'good deal about the fellow’s standing and achieve­ m ents, if any. B ut C raig w as sur­ rounded by the ethical w all that protects a doctor. H ale already knew from H erbert K neeland w here the young psychiatrist had got his training. H e had a good record. H ale had secured introductions from the Chicago psychiatrist to tw o New Y ork m en high in the profession. He could ask som e searching questions, but he thought he knew pretty m uch w hat results he would get. Perfunc­ tory and.cautious answ ers. A bright fellow, C raig, w ell trained and am ­ bitious. G iving m ost of his tim e to. research. Too absorbed in his. job to go about m uch. N ot a good m ix­ er. Yes, H ale knew all these an­ sw ers in ad v an ce. A insw orthknew a lot about C raig, and A insworth would talk till the bell rang. B ut how m uch th a t A insw orth said could one believe? H ale entered the “bureau” w ith a brow corrugated by' care. H e w as on his w ay. .His fortnight had been a fair preparation for the. rest of the journey. B ut he had to have the real background of those fel­ lows before he could hope to under­ sta n d their present activities. How. w as he to get it? The “ bureau” w as a m ere hole'in the wall—a nine by eleven office in the re a r of a photographer’s studio. It had a private entrance. A phleg­ m atic young m an seated a t a bat­ tered table-desk took H ale’s enve­ lope, extracted the cards, sheets and sketches from it w ith a pair of pincers, and regarded the exhibit w ithout interest. “ W hen do you w ant these?” he asked. “ In five m inutest” The young m an’s phlegm atic fea­ tures did not relax. “You can have ’em tom orrow m orning. We have other custom ers, too.” ' “I ’m glad to h e a r that. I’ve m arked those exhibits by num bers only. T hat’s all right, isn’t it?” “ Yep.” “Do I have to leave m y own nam e and address?" “No. T his' is private business. You won’t have any trouble w ith the police.” H ale laughed and the young m an’s face softened a trifle. H e m ust have been in his thirties, but his eyes looked as old a s the eternal hills. H e restored the exhibits to the en­ velope, threw the envelope into a long draw er under the battered ta­ ble top, and dropped the customer from his m ind. ‘TH call for the prints about ten tom orrow m orning,” H ale said as he departed. “O. K .” There w as a public telephone in the m ain hall of the building. Halo called Stuyvesant again ju st for luck, and got a heart-w arm ing re­ sponse. Yes, M r. Stuyvesant w as now at his desk. The next minute he heard his form er classm ate’s pleasant voice. “R ex H ale? W hy, hello, old m an. Three rousing cheers! I thought you w ere in E urope.” “I ’m ju st back. I’m in tow n for a day o r two. C an you lu n d t with m e this noon?” There w as only an instant’s hesi­ tation a t the other end of the instru­ m ent. Then Stuyvesant’s pleasant voice again. “ I’ll m ake .it, though the calen­ d a r’s pretty full. -W hat tim e and w here?” “ A t M axim ’s, any tim e you say ." “One' o’clock, then. Is th a t all right?” “T hat’s fine. F ll be there, a bit ahead and reserve a table. Loiok for m e in the m ain room .” “All right. It w ill be g reat to see you again.” Stuyvesant’s voice w as w arm and buoyantly friendly. Stuyvesant had been one of H ale’s chum s a t college. It w as ungrateful of him , R ex re ­ flected, to have forgotten that. H e m ade two m ore telephone ap­ pointm ents and killed an hour by visiting th e building th a t housed Ainsworth’s office. W hen he reached the office itself he could only look at it respectfully from the outside. It w as obviously a single room , in the re a r of the fourth floor. Ainsworth w as still in possession of it. H is nam e w as on the door, and on the list of tenants printed , on the bulle­ tin board in the m ain hall. But, a s H ale had expected, the office it­ self seem ed deserted. The door w as locked. H e discovered th a t by try­ ing it. S here w as no light visible through the keyhole. The location suggested th a t it would be a d ark of­ fice, dependent on electricity. H ale got the inform ation he need­ ed from the colored elevator opera­ tor. No, M r. A insw orth w asn’t in. H e didn’t com e to his office very often this sum m er. W hen he w asn’t there the office w as closed. L ast w inter he had been there a good deal, and had a girl secretary three days a w eek. T hat stopped in A pril. The operator thought things m ust be pretty dull w ith M r. A insworth. R ex gave the m an half a dollar and left the elevator feeling uncom forta­ ble. This business of prying into another’s affairs— H e w ent to a library w here he got a m edical directory and'looked up' C raig’s record, as w ell a s the rec­ ords of the m en to w hom he had letters. It w as a good one, ex­ actly as young K neeland had given it. The girl a t the loan desk w as not busy , and H ale asked h er .what m en she considered the leading psy­ chiatrists in New York. H e w as' curious' to know w hether th e two m en he w as to see th a t afternoon would be on h e r list. Also, he m ight have to consult others, if these m en proved too dose-m outhed. She w as rath er vague about .psychiatrists. She consulted som eone else in the library and gave -Hale the nam es of three m en. O ne:of them , D octor Gordon D ew ar, w as pleasantly fa­ m iliar. H ale w as to see him at half p ast three. H e reflected w ith a grin th at in these inquiries he him ­ self w as leaving a trail behind him as sharply defined as th at of a tra c ­ tor across a field. T hat w as all right, however. No one w as trailing him . It w as at precisely this point that he turned and saw A insworth, read­ ing quietly at a table behind him . He stiffened and stared. This seem ed m ore than coincidence. Ainsworth might have followed him. Perhaps he had com e in on the train, had hurried to the factory knowing th at K neeland m ust be dropped there, and had' subsequent­ ly and cleverly followed H ale’s prog­ ress to the telephone booths, the fin­ gerprint bureau, and to his own of­ fice. But had he? How had he man-' aged to keep out of sight?1 E asily enough, perhaps. H e wouldn’t get anything a t the fingerprint bureau, except the suspicion that finger­ prints w ere being m ade. B ut it would be a sim ple m atter for him to enter his own office building, after H ale had left it, and to learn from the elevator operator w hat questions, if any, the red-headed young m an in the gray suit had asked. H ale set his teeth. H e w asn’t sure of any of these things, but he would find out. H e strode over to Ainsworth’s ta­ ble, and greeted him w ith breezy cordiality. Ainsworth looked up w ith a start. The sta rt w as w ell done. The fellow actually flushed a little. ,Hale rem em bered the old and un­ expected trick A insworth had of flushing when taken unaw ares. It w as p a rt of the personal sensitive­ ness th at w as so out of keeping w ith his bru tal frankness tow ard other men. “Hello! I didn’t expect to find you here,” Hale said. He had been re­ lieved by th at flush. He w as further relieved by Ainsworth’s obvious an­ noyance over the encounter. “N or I you,” A insworth said curt­ ly. “I thought you w ere a gentlem an of leisure this sum m er.” “Like yourself?” “ Oh, I’m ju st a poor w retch that’s trying to patch him self up after a tussle w ith the undertaker.” “ You look it,” A insworth scoffed. B ut his m anner softened. H ale w as m ore friendly this m orning than he had yet shown him self, and Ains­ w orth had his m om ents of loneliness in an unappreciative world. “It w asn’t the day I’d choose for. an excursion into tow n,” he grum ­ bled. “I had a hurry call this m orn­ ing from a m iserly old ass who gave m e a' two hundred dollar job last spring and seem s to think it bought m y tip p for a year. I’ve been spending the m orning w ith him . H e’s dallying now w ith the thought of giving m e a hundred dollar job, but I don’t d are to hope he’ll work him self up to it.” A insworth spoke w ith a gloom th at w as too genuine to be questioned. H ale dropped into a' chair facing him . “ I take it business isn’t boom­ ing,” he com m ented. “ You don’t know anything y et,” A insw orth confirm ed bitterly. “W ait till you’ve observed your native land a few m onths. H ow ever, one m ust eat. How about lunching together?” “Sorry, but F m booked. That’s w hat I’m in tow n for. A re you stay­ ing in town a day or two? We m ight dine tonight, or lunch tom orrow .” H ale w as alm ost regretting his luncheon engagem ent. A insworth in this black m ood would be w orth studying and listening to. B ut prob­ ably it w as m erely a tem porary mood. “No. F m taking the four-thirty. Y ou're staying over, then?” “ Y es,” H ale decided, “till tom or­ row, anyw ay. Will you tell M iss H osanna I’ll be there for dinnw ?” “ Yep. So long.” Ainsworth didn’t even turn his head as H ale left h im .. He bad a pile of m edical books on the table before him . and w as glancing over one of them w ithout interest. H ale bustled to M axim ’s to m eet Stuy- vesant. He engaged his table and w aited for his guest fifteen m in­ utes. He w as not surprised, when th at engaging young m an finally ap­ peared, to see th at he had put on ten or fifteen pounds. Stuyvesant had alw ays been fond of the flesh- pots. T here w as a look in Stuve- san t’s blue eyes that w as not in harm ony w ith 'his plum p and ad­ m irably tailored appearance. It w as a look H ale w as already learning to recognize as the characteristic ex­ pression the average New York business and professional m an w as turning tow ard the world—a look m ade up in equal p arts of anxiety, incredulity, and confusion. E ven Stuyvesant, w ith the fam ily fortune back of him , seem ed to have no sense of perm anent security. CHAPTER V O ver their cocktails they ex­ changed the inevitable questions and answ ers of their reunion. Then H ale said casuaUy as their luncheon began, “ I’ve run into Ainsworth since I came back. That’s a co­ incidence, isn’t it? T here aren’t so many Ithaca m en of our day in New Y ork th at I expect to m eet them bustling about here. H ave you been seeing anything of Ains­ w orth?” Stuyvesant grim aced a t the intro­ duction of A insworth’s nam e. T hat sUght curve of his full lips w as elo­ quent testim ony of w hat he thought of his form er associate. B ut he followed his host’s conversational lead. “I certainly don’t see m uch of A insw orth and I don’t w ant to. I never liked him . I hear of him oc­ casionally and I m eet him from tim e to tim e dining the w inter. He seem s to go about a lot then.” “Socially, you m ean?” “Y es. H e’s a bom New Y orker, you know. H e com es of a good fam ily. H e’s about the last lim b left on his tree. N ot m uch m oney now, but he’s alw ays had a first- ra te position.” R ex suddenly rem em bered th at Stuyvesant him self w as also a “ born New Y orker” of a good old fam ily.

That is tom m yrot.' F o r the am ount of m ental and physical energy expend­ ed, the college professor is better paid than the average , law yer or doctor. Take m y ow n’ case. At the age of thirty-six I. hold the rank of associate professor, and I draw an annual salary of $5,000 for teach­ ing 12 hours a w eek during a 9- 'm onth year. M y class preparation, now th at I ’ve been through m y lec­ tures several tim es, requires less th an an hour a day, and an assist­ a n t does all such m enial chores as roll-taking and paper-grading.'H ow else could I e arn as m uch honestly, and as easily? Security of tenure is better , than in any other profession lest it be the arm y. The A m erican A ssociation of U niversity Professors, the trade un­ ion of toe teaching profession, has m ade it extrem ely aw kw ard for a college to fire a teacher unless he is actually caught drunk, dirty, and w ith a coed on each knee. It’s in­ conceivable to the association, th at a m an m ight be discharged for in­ com petence,- as in a railroad of­ fice. Tenure and academ ic free­ dom are the two g reat rallying cries of the 'A. A. U. P ., and the rum or that either is being endangered will m ake the stoutest college president sw eat in fear of an investigation. This union of pedagogues hasjde-. clared, by form al vote, th a t tW col­ lege professor is not as other m en: To function properly he is held to require tw o things—absolute free­ dom from w orry about his job, and freedom from all restrictions on his classroom utterances or w ritings. The first would be w elcom ed by any m an; the second is a source of sat­ isfaction to countless teachers who never in their lives had a danger­ ous or striking thought.—Professor Anonymous, A.

We have three good drug stores in Davie, and dozens of good grocery stores, together with a number of -good meat markets. For the benefit of those who want to renew their subscriptions or subscribe. The Record office will be open during the holidays. Call around and see us, whether you have any business or not. If you don’t find us in our office we will be out on the streets looking for our enemies.”.______ The First Christmas. Luke, 2 :8 -14. 8 And there was in the same country shepherds abiding in the. field, keeping watch over their flock by night. / 9 And, Io the angel of the Lord came upm them, and the glory of the Lord shown around them; and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them Fear not: for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign un to you: You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. - 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heaven­ ly host praising God and saying. 14 Glory to God in the highest .and on earth, peace, good will to ward men.” - Record Has Old Sub* scriber. The Record can boast of the fact that it has one of the oldest subscri bers on its books, if any newspaper in North Carolina. The gentleman in question is Mr. Brock, of Darling­ ton, Ind., who will-be 103 years' old if he lives until next August. Mr. Brock is a native of Farming­ ton township, but moved to Indiana more than 50 years ago. He is a uncle of Mesdames' Geo. Sheek and J. L. Sheek, of Mocksville. Mr, Brock’s daughter-in-law. Mrs. Edith M.' Brock, in sending us a check for his renewal, writes us as follows; “Enclosed please find check. Father Brocktbinks be couldn’t get along without your paper. I want to sav to his manyfolks in Davie county that he was one hundred and two years old last August. He is able, when the weather is good, to walk to the mail box and back to the house. The round trip is a quarter of a mile. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.” If there is a newspaper in Nortb Carolina that has an older subscri­ ber than Mr. "Brock, we would be glad to know who it is. He has been taking our. paper nearly 40 years. We trust, that he will Iiye many more years to enjoy reading the old home county paper, Dbtribnte Pension Checks. Clerk of Court Hoover has been distributing pension checkB to widows of Confederate' soldiers'in Davie countv for the past several I • days. There is one Confederate .< saldier, P. A.

Furcbes. Nancy Glasscock, Rebec­ ca Hendrix. Lr. D. Johnson, M. CJ McClannon, J. A. Potts, Alice Sea- ford, Elisabeth Smith, and Sarsh Turner. The total amount of the checks were $2,482 50. Mr. Miller’s check was $182.50. CIassA widows receive $150 semi-annually, and class B widows receive $50 semi-annual!;. There are 15 class A widows, and one class B widow, viz; -Mrs. Sallie 'Hodges. ■ '~f- NO PAPER NEXT WEEK. As has been pur custom tor many years, we will issue no paper Christ­ mas week. The next issue of The Record will appear Jan. 4, 1939 . Our readers need a week’s vacation together with the devil, printer and editor. For 51 weeks we labor six days in the week to give our sub- scribersjtbe news of the town, coun­ ty, state, aud nation, and we have to print a paper every week, news or no news, ads or no ads, whether we be sick or well. The Record appreciates the many kindness shown it during the past year by adverusers and subscribers alike. We have done what we could to produce a clean; respectable paper, that, while small In size, would meet the approval of the citizens of this entire1 section. We have made many mistakes, and doubtless some have been offended at us, but the mistakes were of the head and not of the heart. If we are spared during 1939 we will try to give our readers all the news of the county that is worth telling togeth­ er with important events of state and nation. We will continue to work for the upbuilding of the town and county and do all in our power to assist in any and all pub­ lic enterprises. We believe evejv citizen of Dayie county'should take their county paper and we hope to add many new names to qur books during the coming year. To everybody, everywheie, The Record wishes a very merry Christ mas and a happy and paosperous Ner Year. If the Lord permits we will greet you agarn Wednesday Jan 4th. _____________ Pretty Square.

GOD’S GREA T LOVE LESSON TEXT—Matthew 2:1-12.GOLDEN TEXT—God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in ht™ should not perish but have everlasting life.—John 3:16. C hristm as D ay on Sunday—w hat an appropriate com bination! Today we com m em orate the birth of our Lord, the com ing of our R edeem er to dw ell am ong m en on the day of the w eek which is a perpetual re­ m em brance of His resurrection from the dead—the L ord's Day. He cam e as the babe of B ethlehem ’s m anger in order th at H e m ight in H is death and resurrection from the grave prove H is victory over sin and death. F o r those who know and love the true spirit of C hrist­ m as, this should be a g reat day of rejoicing in Christ. W e have an unusual opportunity to study the birth of Jesus from a text not com m only used for Christ­ m as, nam ely, the com ing of the W ise M en from the E ast to find and to w orship H im . It is suggested th a t their experiences m ay be con­ sidered as showing the w ay to Jesus, who is the perfect revelation of God’s g reat love. We should I. Look for His Sign (w . 1-3). W hile m ost of th eir fellow m en saw nothing but an unusually bright sta r (if they even noted th at m uch, in their hurried devotion to the in­ terests of- everyday life), the m en of the E a st showed th at they w ere w ise by recognizing th at here w as the prom ised sign of N um bers 24:17. Be sure to read th at g reat prophecy. W hen they told Herod, he, fearing lest his own pow er and prom inence should be challenged, becam e troubled in his heart. The parallel) to our day is striking. Everyw here in our lives, personal and national, are the unm istakable signs of the presence and pow er of Jesus. M ost people heed them not in th eir m ad pursuit of gold and pleasure. O thers hate His nam e, and would destroy H is influence on earth. L et us be am ong the w ise m en who com e, today to seek and w orship Him . n . Listen to God’s W ord (w . 4-6). The W ise M en knew that He w as to com e, but they needed further light. They knew w here to find it— in God’s own W ord. How different would be the history th at is in the m aking in our day if instead of turn­ ing, to the philosophies of "m en, or trusting in the m ight of arm am ents, w e would turn to God’s W ord and let it lead us all to Christ, the SaviouT of the w orld, the Prince of Peace. I n . Seek the Saviour (w . 7-9). D ifferent m otives m oved in the hearts of those who consulted the Scriptures on that far-off day in Jerusalem . Herod, w hile, hypocrit­ ically professing to w ant to w orship, really w as looking into it so that he m ight kill Jesus. T here are hypo­ crites who study God’s W ord in our day for the sam e purpose while os­ tensibly w orshiping. The people of Jerusalem had the curious bystand­ e r’s interest in $n unusual event. They have their counterpart in our churches and com m unities on this C hristm as D ay of 1938. Then there w ere the chief priests and scribes, who had a purely professional in­ terest in finding w hat the Scriptures taught concerning this prom ised One. T here are plenty of that kind of religious leaders and w orkers to­ day. None of these actually sought the Saviour except the W ise M en. Thank God for the thousands of m en, wom­ en, ahd children who w ill today seek the fchrist who is the very reason fo r: the observance of C hristm as, but who has been all but lost in the nonsense and commercialism that have practically ruined C hristm as as a sacred “holy day.” , IV. Worship Him (w. 10-12). These faithful seekers found Him , and in H im they found joy (v. 10), w orship (v. 11), opportunity for sac­ rifice of self and gifts (v. 11), and fellowship w ith God in the g reat w ork of redem ption (v. 12). God spoke to them , gave them a person­ a l and secret com m ission w hich' thw arted the w icked plans of Herod. C hristm as m ay m ean all of that to each one of us if we let the Lord Jesiu com e into 'our lives in all the beauty of H is redeem ing love and holiness. To you who read these lines ju st now, the w riter m akes this plea in the nam e of C hrist—let H im have your life and transform it by H is grace and for H is glory. Only thus can you; have a joyful and blessed C hristm as.

Although he did this for the London Tim es, E ng­ lish journalists^— distinctly that, ra th e r than new spaper m en — seem ed to think it w asn’t quite cricket and they w ent on w earing spats, carrying canes, and dodging leg-w ork. I rem em ber citing to an E nglish friend the De Blowitz book, published posthum ously in 1903, in w hich he told how he got th at beat on the treaty —an exciting new spa­ p e r y arn if there ever w as one. “B it of a rotter, don’t you think?” said the Englishm an. A fter the w ar, the E nglish cor­ respondents started shaking a leg, but, w ith all this Chauvin­ ism loose id the w orld, we m ay boast tHat it w as the A m erican lads who set the pace.

GOD’S GREA T LOVE LESSON TEXT-Matthew 2:1-12.GOLDEN TEXT—God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.—John 3:16. C hristm as D ay on Sunday—w hat an appropriate com bination! Today w e com m em orate the birth of our Lord, the com ing of our R edeem er to dwell am ong m en on the day of the w eek which is a perpetual re­ m em brance of H is resurrection from the dead—the Lord’s D ay. He cam e as the babe of B ethlehem ’s m anger in order th at H e m ight in H is death and resurrection from the grave prove H is victory over sin and death. F o r those who know and love the true spirit of C hrist­ m as, this should be a g reat day of rejoicing in Christ. W e have an unusual opportunity to study the birth of Jesus from a text not com m only used for C hrist­ m as, nam ely, the com ing of the W ise M en from the E a st to find and to w orship H im . It is suggested th at their experiences m ay be con­ sidered as showing the w ay to Jesus, who is the perfect revelation of God’s g reat love. We should I. Look for H is Sign (w . 1-3). W hile m ost of their fellow m en saw nothing but an unusually bright sta r (if they even noted th a t m uch, in their hurried devotion to the in­ terests of everyday life), the m en of the E ast showed th a t they w ere w ise by recognizing th at here w as the prom ised sign of N um bers 24:17. Be sure to read th a t g reat prophecy. W hen they told H erod, he, fearing lest his own pow er and prom inence should be challenged, becam e troubled in his heart. The parallel: to our day is striking. E veryw here in our lives, personal and national, are the unm istakable signs of the presence and pow er of Jesus. M ost people heed them not in their m ad pursuit of gold and pleasure. O thers hate H is nam e, and would destroy H is influence on earth. L et us be am ong the wise m en who com e, today to seek and w orship Him . H . L isten to God’s W ord (w . 4-6). The W ise M en knew th at H e w as to com e, but they needed further light. They knew w here to find it— in God’s own W ord. How different would be the history that is in the m aking in our day if instead of turn­ ing, to the philosophies o f'm en, or trusting in the m ight of arm am ents, w e would turn to God’s W ord and let it lead us all to C hrist, the Saviour of the world, the P rince of Peace. H I. Seek the Saviour (w . 7-9). D ifferent m otives m oved in the hearts of those who consulted the Scriptures on th at far-off day in Jerusalem . H erod, while hypocrit­ ically professing to w ant to worship, really w as looking into it so that he m ight kill Jesus. There are hypo­ crites who study God’s W ord in our day for the sam e purpose while os­ tensibly worshiping. The people of Jerusalem had the curious bystand­ e r’s interest in an unusual event. They have their counterpart in our churches and com m unities on this C hristm as D ay of 1938. Then there w ere the chief priests and scribes, who had a purely professional in­ terest in finding w hat the Scriptures taught concerning this prom ised One. T here are plenty of th at kind of religious leaders and w orkers to­ day. None of these actually sought the Saviour except the W ise M en. Thank God for the thousands Of m en, wom­ en, and children who will today seek the C hrist who is the very reason for; the observance of C hristm as, but who has been all but lost in the nonsense and com m ercialism th at have practically ruined C hristm as i s a sacred “holy day.” ; IV. W orship H im (w . 10-12). These faithful seekers found. H im , and in H im they found joy (v. 10), w orship (v. 11), opportunity for sac­ rifice of self and gifts (v. 11), and fellowship w ith God in the great w ork of redem ption (v. 12). God spoke to them , gave them a person­ al and secret com m ission w hich' thw arted the w icked plans of H erod. C hristm as m ay m ean all of that to each one of us if we let the Lord Jesus com e into our lives in’ all the beauty of H is redeem ing love and holiness. To you who read these lines ju st now, the w riter m akes this plea in the nam e of C hrist—let H im have your life and transform it by H is grace and for H is glory. Only thus can you have a joyful and blessed C hristm as. The P aren t M ind The souls of the sons of God are g reater than their business; and they a re throw n out into life, not to do a certain w ork, but to be a cer­ tain th in g ;'to have som e sacred' lineam ents, to show som e divine tint of the P aren t M ind from which they cam e.—M artineau.
