Congress will not have recog­ nized one of its current oblidations if the present session adjaarnes be fore the railroad problem is settled. Through the mad rush of the last few years Io appropriate great sums of money for federal handouts, past Congresses have failed to give this problem the consideration it de serves. By this failure the Con- gresses have contributed heavily to the present day reasons for hand­ outs by failing to recognize that there can be no lasting national prosperity until the basic industrits which make prosperity by employ­ ment can operate at a profit suf­ ficient to employ labor, maintain prosrerity and pay tax impositions. Congress can no longer use the alibi that it has no definite program on which to work as a reason for dodging, a vital issue. The Asoci- ation of American Railroads has offered -an exact and comprehensive program, which is in practically complete accord with that other excellent program prepared by the special committee of six appointed by the President. Tbe Association’s program advocates such fair reason able and simple things as requiring all commercial transportation, high way and water as well as rail, to pay its own way; revision of the absolute rate-mark-ing rule, which often prevents the railroads from establishing rates which would en­ able'them to compete with other carriers; discontinuance ot the fed eral barge lines, which have caused the taxpayers millions in deficits over a 14-year period; a con­ solidation law which will permit the rails to work out practical con­ solidation plans, 'subject to the approval or disapproval of public regulatory authorities such as the Intsrstate Commerce Commission. And on March 8th Redresentative Lea introduced a bill in Congress proposing sweeping reform in our transportation policy: The immense public importance of solving the transportation issue, speak for the thinking people of America. Depressed railroads hely make general economic depression —properous rail help to make general economic prosperity. Con. gress mnst do its duty. Salisbury Dog Retrieves Money. Salisburjr.—When it comes to re­ trieving money, Richard Council, youngster who lives at 600 S. Main street, can get up and start brag­ ging about his dog "Flute.” Only three months old “ Flute” has brought in a $23.25 catch. It happened early this month when Richard, son of Mrs. Eliza beth Council, was out with his dog. “ Flute” was having a. big time, running up and. down the street bringing all sorts of things back on the front porch. He brought a child’s hat, paper sack and numer­ ous other . things. Then “ Flute” began to shake the sack.. A few coins rolled out and Richard investigated, finding $23 in bills In the sack. Later that afternoon, Mr.«. Coun­ cil read in The Salisbury Post want ad column that Mrs. D. G. Efird of Richfield, Route 2, had lost $23,25 in a paper sack that day on SoutbM ainstreet. And that’s the story of “ Flute’s” retrieving and bow Mrs. Efird recovered her lost money. Now is tbe time to sub­ scribe for Tbe Record. Find Seaweed.

The Senate has refused to accede' to the President’s demand that $50,000,000 additional be appro­ priated for relief, and has done it decisively. Tbiii put^ En end to an - agitation that h a s. concerned the body for several days as Administration forces worked feverishly to corral enough strength to carry through the suggestion of the White House. This victory of the economy bloc is of significance. The circumstance that it may reveal the loss of Presidential pres- tige in the upper chamber is only of momentary consequence. W hat is vital abont it is that it shows a renewed determination in Congress to think for itself rather than take the opinions of bureaus and - commissions and spending agencies who succed in getting Mr. Roosevelt to do their speaking and urging for them. This newspaper has an idea that the decrease of $50,000,000 in the original request of the White House for $150,000,000 for relief services will only moderately effect the status of those who are in actual need of such Federal funds. True the President says that be­ tween 300,000 and 400,000 work relief jobs must be eliminated in the event this $50,000,000 was denied and, conceivably, that may happen. But, even so, by careful and serotinous surveys of the millions on these relief rolls, perhaps, those in authority can get around to doing wliat- Secretary Hopkins inc icated some time ago could' be done with' lesser appropriations, namely, strike off only those who are less needy” and spend tbe remainder on those who are in actual and provable economic dist­ ress. The idea has persisted, and some­ what generally’ that these relief rolls have contained any number of individuals whose situation could hardly be regarded as desperate, and that it has been relatively too easy for people to reject possible private employment and elect employment on these Federal projects at the prevailing schedules of wages. - ''T hat sort of thing should never have been permitted in tbe first place and in the second place, if it has prevailen, this will be not only a suitable but au inviting oppor tunlty to clean up these rolls, and for those in control to see to it that only those who are indemonstrable neey continue to live off tbe tax payers.—Charlotte Observer. Taking the Right Coarse. The Administration In Washing., ton is adopting a sane and sensible policy with respect to Business. It now appears .that practically all of the New Deal plan of salvation is to be thrown overhoard and that tbe go-ahead sign is being given Busi­ ness. As a result, a noticiable im­ provement— judging from recent surveys—is already taking place.' XheNew Deal however, haB not been entirely in vain. It has de­ monstrated that t h e Government cannot run Business: that Buriness must have a free hand, coupled, of course, with such restrictions as are within reason. The purpose of the Government should be. to run the government of the country. The purpose of Business should be to run the business of the country.

Where The Money Comes From. Just where does the money come from to pay governmental expenses? Mostly, You think it does not come from You. But .it does! And if governmental expenses keep on rising, it will increasingly come from YOU. It is all very nice to assume that the very rich must meet the obligations of Government. Yet eyeiy time YOU, in Oklahoma, buy a loaf of bread, YOU pay taxes. Evety time YOU buy a gallon of gasoline, YOU pay a tremendous proportionate tax. Every time YOU buy a pack of cigsre'.ts, YOU pay for more in taxes than the tobacco grower, the warehouseman, the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the-retailer and the transportation agencies get out of the pack. .The truth is, cigaretts are worth from four to six cents a package. How much do YOU pay for them, and who gets the difference? Govern­ ment—and that meaus taxes upon YOU. Eveotually there will be no other course thau that you will have to pay direct taxes, even as you now pay the suppooedly “ painless” in­ direct taxes. The income tax as yet effects but very few; eventually it will, and must effect every citizen. And the truth is, that the sooner every persons, whether independent or dependent, is made to feel a tax that hurts, the sooner will the spending foolishness stop. You can’t get anything for nothing; the government has no money that is not created and paid by citizens; and in the end YOU are tbe taxpayer. Don’t even forget that. Some­ body has to pay for everything, in the very sweat of his face. The only reason gold is so valuable is that it is so.difficult to get. This is the experience of the ages. And experience should teach us some, thing, sometime. — Enid. Okla., News. Just Exercising Good Sense.

Sun: Did you ever have quintuplets? Well, that is, have them practical* Iy in your grasp and then see them disappear and find in their place only the world’s biggast liar. Well, that’s wbat happened to Pineville. III. Now all you folk who rnshed around and got options on vacant lots to built hotels and tourist cabins can let them expire without buying them. A quiet-mannered, i l l i t e r a t e Brownies Creek farmer walked into the office of the Pineville Sun and asked for the. editor: “ What will it cost to put a piece in the paper,” he asked, using, thr approach so common in this section where the impression seems to have gained standing that it “costs” to put anything in the paper. “ It depends on what it is.” I told the visitor. Then I practicallj swooned when he calmly replied: Mv wife had five kid^. Saturday night!” Questions Bew fast. Ilow wete they? Who was the doctor? Were they all still alive and how could we get to his house? Djd he have a nurse there? Who was looking afttr the mother and children? I figured I could look after the father all right just as his agent, advertising repre sentative or in some other menial capacity. My visitor told a straightforward story, naming the physician, mem­ bers of the family who were present and reciting ail the other details which were going to make Pineville the tourist center of the nation. Already I could visualize cars jamm- ing.the highways and could hear state police telling disappointed touriBts to come back Bome day a; it would be impossicle to drive into Pineville for at least thirty-six hours. I let my news source and poten­ tial gold-mine depart to spread hie glad tidings aroud Pineville. A little calmer, I began to go over his story and soon noticed a few flaws in its makeup. His flat refusal to return to Brownies Creek that night even after a substantial cash offer for news pictures' of the family made me dubious about the while affair. In another hour I knew the whole thing was a fake but the story had gotten beyond all control. I had been one of the last to bear it be* cause he started spreading the news as soon as he reached Pineville and some good friend had directed him to the Sun office. I spent the next three hours try­ ing to show the absurdity 0 f his story, but the public mind, which by this time was building- new hotels and winding all roads leading into Pineville where the firet Btones on a new nursery already were being placed, refused to be disabused. The story Bpread. Coontv Judge Jchn Matt Parsifuil, leaving for the district rally of Kepublicans at Cor­ bin, heard.a few details of the story as he climbed into bis car a few hours later practically broke up tbe Corbin rally with tbe announcement that Bell county had been selected as the locale of the second greatest event in history. and that Pineville henceforth would compete with the Dionce quintB for world honors. My telephone rapg all night but the national press would not accept anything short of the corpus delicti. I told them I had an appointment pointed hour came and went. Sadly I folded up my cameratore up the affidavit which the ‘’father” had sworn to to prove his claim to world renown and tried to adjust my wale of living to a thirty cent classi- fled ad basis, where twelve housr be fore, I had been dealing in millions. AU was not lost, however. I had not grasped the hand of the father of quintuplets but I had shaken hands with the world’s biggest liar! There’s Still A Chance, Edgar Haworth, of Tahlcquah. Okla., was a iharecropper three years ago. Today he is the owner of 4 well-stocked farm, almost debt free, with a future which is bright for himself, his wife and his three 4om. The storv of that accomplish­ ment sounds as if it belongs to an* other age in America. Haworth was ambitious. After years of barely scraping through on rented farms, he had tbe courage to enter a transaction bv which he took a few unimproved acres under an agreement to pay for it on a yearly The farm had no buildings, little cleared land, no implements. The farmer had nothing except one brood sow. But Haworth and his family tack­ led their task as if they had belonged to the generations of pioneers before them. There were trees on the farm. Hsand his sons felled those trees and built a log cabin and log bam— without government aid. Other tress they cut into cordwood and sold it to keep the family in food. As the trees were chopped down, land was cleared, and soon the Haworth family had crops. A romance might ba written on the sacrifice and toils of the little family, but the important thing is that they won through to a satisfying 3uc€ss, Logcabins until something better can pe provided far homes. Sturdy refusal to accept aid, govern­ ment or otherwise. Th?re are still frontiers to be developed in American.—Kansas City Star. Blunder Recognized* When the social security act "was first enacted it was quickly realized that if the provisions were allowed to go on withoutchange an enormous and utterly unnecessary reserve fund would accumulate. Now it is proposed that Congress consider a revision. The “full reserve” fund as it was called, would have accumulated over $47.000.000000, while at the most $3,000,000,000 would be ample, while still less would be safe. That this steadily growing fund has been hampering to business is recognized since the accumulation begon. It swallows up funds which might be used for investment, or spending money that would be a general aid to business. The administration at last real­ izes the error in the original pro­ posal and now has under consid* eretion changes which will materi­ ally limit the withdrawal of funds from general use. When Congress takes . up the m atter f<>r consideration it should fix a limit to the fund and positively refuse to allow' tbe administration tn iige thp money at will for general expenses.—Ex.

Kitty, June's m other, retired early with a headache. CHAPTER n —Confinaed Rab set the pan of milk on the bedside table. He said: “I've been telling June she ought to get out of this mausoleum once in a while. Kitty, why don’t you let me show her around? Why don’t we three go on a party some night? I’ll get theater-tickets, and we’ll have din­ ner in town.” Kitty said without turning her head: “Good night, Rab. I’m dead tired. June’s all right. I’ll take care of her.” "Think it over,” Rab urged. “Ev­ eryone here is old, except June and ine and you. And maybe Asa. And We’re all old compared with June.” Kitty swimg around. “Don’t wor­ ry, Rab,” she said, a slow passion in her tones.' “I’m going to get June out of this. She sha’n’t live as I’ve lived. Good night.” Rab made an amused .grimace at June and went away. June came behind her mother’s chair. “Let me brush it,” she of­ fered softly. “Is your head bad?” “I’ve got to sleep tonight,” Kitty Leaford whispered. “Or go mad! This is one of my bad days. Warm the milk for me.” June took the milk into the bath­ room, lighted the gas on the small burner there and stirred the milk so that it should not bum. By the time it was lukewarm, Kitty Leaford was in bed. June.poured die milk into a glass,-and brought it to her mother’s bedside: The glass was not quite full: . “I can feel thunder in the air,” said Kitty Leaford, and shuddered. She-had prepared for the night, as she always did, with an elaborate care. June knew the ritual: mas­ sage — unguents — waving-irons in her hair—gloves saturated with an emollient to keep soft her hands. Kitty Leaford still served a beauty that had vanished long ago. “I’ll come in to you if it storms,” June promised. “Bring me a tablet,” the older woman directed. June hesitated. “Won’t you be able to sleep without, Mother? With just the milk?” she pleaded. Kitty said petulantly: “Don’t ar­ gue with me tonight, June. I’m not fit to bear it. They’re in the bath­ room cabinet!” Jtme went back into the bath­ room.. She rinsed the pan under the faucet, delaying, trying to find some argument She noticed that the milky water was slow to drain out of the basin. The trap must have become plugged. Her mother called: “Hurry, June!” The girl opened the cabinet and took out a familiar bottle. The bot­ tle had no label. She removed the cork and' let one tablet roll into her palm. She set the bottle down on the edge of the basin and was about to replace the cork when Kitty Lea­ ford called: “ June, I’ll take two tonight. I want to go to sleep quickly, sleep sound.” June made an unhappy gesture, and her hand touched the uncorked bottle. It fell into the basin, spill­ ing tablets. She rescued it hastily. There was still a little water in the basin, and the spilled tablets were already half-dissolved. There were only three remaining in the bottle. June stood in some consternation, and her mother called: “What was that? June, did you spill them?” “I tipped over the bottle,” June confessed. “I spilled one or two.” “For heaven’s sake, be careful,” Kitty Leaford cried fretfully. “Doc­ tor Cabler always cross-examines me when they go faster than he thinks they should. Bring me two.” June took one more tablet out of the bottle, so that she had two in her band,, while two remained. She put the bottle in its place and went back into the other room. She said: “Mother, I wish you wouldn't take them both. You remember what happened that other time?” “I took three that time,” her mother retorted. "Two won’t hurt me.” “You were awfully sickt” “I must get to sleep,” Kitty Lea­ ford insisted. She picked up the tab­ lets from her daughter’s palm and dropped them in the warm. milk. Ghe waited a moment to give them time to dissolve. “These are harm­ less, June,” she urged. “Practi­ cally! And they do make me sleep.' She laughed feverishly. “Twice this many wouldn’t really hurt me, June.” Her eyes were haggard. “And I can’t help it. If I don’t sleep, I go mad.” She drained the draft. “That does taste strong,” she said with a faint grimace. “Now run, baby. Kiss me, and go. I’ll be asleep in a minute.” June kissed her, made her lie down, covered her over. She opened one window a crack. Kitty Lea­ ford was not a fresh-air addict. June looked at her and saw that she was already half asleep. The girl turned off the light and slipped away. At the head of the stairs she paused long enough to be sure the others were leaving. She heard someone slide the bolt on the front door, beard Uncle Justus say: “I’ve fastened it, Denman." Then murmuring voices toward the kitchen. They all went out that way; and after a moment Grandpa and Grandma Hurder returned to go into their own room, on the Then the electric light faded and died. ground floor, in the east wing. Her mother’s room and her own were in the west wing, over the big sitting- room. A deep uneasiness possessed June. When her own door was closed and she was alone, she stood still, even her eyes unmoving. It might be, she thought, the sullen electric air which made her thus restless and full of a vague foreboding. CHAPTER IH June undressed slowly, listlessly. There was nothing in life as she knew it which could provoke her to eagerness. Her movements were automatic, her thoughts went round and round a familiar circle. This was her world. These folk who had been here tonight, and Un­ d e Jim, who lived in the hut by the pond. She thought of him now with a faint smile. There was sound mirth in him. He used to laudi at these people here; contrived nick­ names for them all to make June smile. Grandma Bowdon was the Iron Hand, Aunt Evie the Velvet Glove. Grandma and Grandpa Hur- der were the Conquered Provinces. He never sought to make June laugh at her mother, She remem­ bered now. Once or twice she had tried to persuade Kitty Leaford . to go with her to meet Unde Jim. “You’d like him, Mother,” she had urged. “I know you would.” But her mother would never go.' The girl went mechanically about the business of preparing. for the night. Her eyes drifted half-resent- Rdly around the ugly room. She loosed her hair and brushed it slow­ ly for a while, watching her reflec­ tion in the mirror above the marble slab. The house long since was still. When at last she turned out her own light and opened one of the tall windows, she saw Aunt Evie’s house next door was dark and silent too. Also she saw, far off, a flicker in the sky; she even heard the rumble of thunder. Yet the storm might not come this way, or if it did, her mother might not waken. She got into the big bed and lay without drawing any covering over her, for the night was hot, and the air was lifeless and still. The old house creaked all around her; mice scur­ ried in the walls. She must have slept at last, and for an indeterminate time. It was a gust of wind which ,woke her, a sudden quickening in the tempo of the night. Then lightning etched a net of flame across the sky, and the crashing thunderstroke burst in her ears. June was not afraid of thunder­ showers; but her mother, despite the drug she had taken, might have waked; Jiine decided to go in and see. She knew the older, woman would be, if she were awake, cower­ ing now, and crying out as though from an actual physical pain. The girl got out of bed and crossed the hall to her mother’s door. Without opening the door, she lis­ tened, but she heard no sound from within. Yet still June hesitated, un­ certain, uneasy for no reason, In the end she opened the door and spoke softly into the darkness. “Mother, are you all right?” But there was no reply, and June was reassured. She was about to return to bar own room, when light­ ning flashed again, close by, and the glaire of it was bright in the win­ dow by Kitty Leaford’s bed. So June saw her mother for this in­ stant, clearly. And when the lightning passed, the girl stood still, her eyes dilated. There had been something alarm­ ing in her mother’s posture, in the way she lay along the be<L With an abrupt movement June turned on the light. An air-current coming from the open window in her own room blew her door shut with a reverberating crash; and she leaped with dismay at the sudden sound. But her mother had not roused—did not move as June bent over the bed. Mrs. Leaford lay on her side, her head pillowed on her left arm; her right arm limp along the coverlets. June bad seen her in a drugged sleep before, and there was nothing patently alarming in her appear­ ance now. But though her mother lay on her side, her head was turned so that her face was upward. The posture looked uncomfortable; and June very gently tried to move her mother’s head to the left so that it might be at ease. But when June touched Kitty Lea­ ford’s cheek smeared with un­ guents, her heart turned cold. June caught her mother’s shoul­ ders. She shook them; she cried: “Mother! Mother!” But Kitty Leaford made no re­ sponse. -June might as well have shaken a bolster loosely stuffed with sand. The girl backed away from the bed, her hands pressed to her lips. She turned and ran down the stairs to the telephone in the hall. The instrument was dead. She snapped on the hall light—an-elec­ tric bulb banging by one wire in the' midst of the gas chandelier— and in that naked illumination she tried the telephone again, without response. Terror was clamoring in her; she tried to fight it down, to think what she should do. Grandpa and Grandma Hurder were asleep at the end of the hall, but she knew there was no help in them. Even if there were help any­ where. Then the electric light faded and died, and June stood in the dark hall like a tomb. She was stifled by the blackness; she gasped for breath; and the front door blew open, banging against the wall, and the girl choked back a scream. She was swept by desperate and nameless terror; a gust of rain came sweeping in, and Jtme ran blindly to meet it, out through the door, into the full beat of the rain. The touch of it was sweet and cool. Then she remembered that the front door was always locked and bolted. Uncle Justus had bolted it tonight. Why had it opened of it­self? Blind panic possessed her utterly; yet she clung to one thought: she must fetch Doctor Cabler. She might have roused Rab or Asa, asleep next door. Rab had even a car. But she took no time to think of these things. She was al­ ready racing across the lawn; she found the gate in the hedge, and felt the smooth hard macadam under her feet, and ran swiftly. Occa­ sionally lightning flashes illumined her way, kept her in the road. She had gone halfway to Doctoi Cabler’s house when a car came down the hill behind her. She tried to run faster, to escape this pur­ suer; but this was vain, and she turned off the road, and fell, and scrambled to her feet and stood like a wild creature brought to bay. The car stopped beside her, and someone asked a question. She stammered something, for this was a man’s voice, and June was not habituated to encounter strange men. But instantly, while he used some persuasion, she found herself in the seat beside him. He offered her his coat, but she refused it. Then this young man beside her turned out the dash-light so that darkness'drew a protective garment over her, and she was warm with gratitude to him. She said: “Thank you—’’ She watched him covertly, controlling her breath. He asked some question, suggest­ ing that she was afraid, and she told him that she was not afraid. Yet her knees were trembling and her fingers pressed-her palms. He spoke again, but she did not hear him. She watched the road, and at the beginning of the path through the wood to Doctor Cab­ ler’s house, she bade this young man stop the car. He did so, and she alighted, and ran away along the path. But hidden in the wood, she stopped to look back; and she stayed there till he drove on, watch­ ing the headlights of his car till their gleam was lost behind a screen of trees. When he was gone, she stood like one bereft, as though with him a part of herself had departed too. But then, in the darkness and the rain, terror returned to spur her on. She ran up the path and so came pounding on the Doctor’s door. At length a flashlight’s beam came down the stairs; she could see it through the panel of the door. It struck her in toe eyes through the glass; and at toe same time toe door opened. The light was in her eyes, mid Doctor Cabler exclaimed: “June! God bless me!” She whispered: “Come quick, Doctor Cabler!" “Come in, June,” he commanded, and led her into toe hall and shut the door. “You’re drenched. What is it?” “Oh, hurry, hurry!” she cried. “It’s Mother. She’s dead!” The word on her own lips struck her like a blow. She had not till this moment shaped this word even in her thoughts. “Oh, hurry,” she repeated; and thought in a dispas­ sionate apathy that toe injunction was absurd. If her mother was dead, there could be no reason for haste. This had not occurred to her before. “Eh?” toe Doctor exclaimed. “Dead?” “Yes,” said June, in an empty tone. Even though the admission convicted her of folly, convicted he» of having lost her wits, of having run without toe slightest occasion half a mile through drenching rain, yet she had no doubt that what she said was true. Kitty Leaford was dead. Of this now, June was sure.

Usually when a foreigner thinks of Rome, he thinks in terms of the Colosseum, the Forum or the Pantheon, writes Andre Simonpietri in “The Rich­ mond Times-Dispatch.” If he is an artist, his desire is to see the Sistine Chapel and Michael Angelo’s “Last Judgment,” or per­ haps Raphael’s rooms. If he is an architect, he will want to visit St. Peter’s Basilica and study Bernini’s colonnade, or muse over ton. im­ mense and inexplicable arches of the Baths of Caracalla. If he is a politician, he will try to pull enough strings to arrange an interview with MussolinL If he is a Catholic, he will want to see toe Holy Father and receive his blessing. So, perhaps that is the reason so very few ever locate this gem, the “house” where Romulus and Re­ mus, the founders of Rome, pillowed their baby heads in the furry side of the. she-wolf. You’ll remember the story of how the two little waifs -were found by the wolf on the banks of the tawny Tiber, and how the savage beast, her motherly instincts aroused, car­ ried the foundlings to her lair. There she suckled them and nursed them through the weakness of infancy to sturdy childhood. When toe two could feed for themselves, so toe legend has it, the noble creature took herself off to a secluded spot and there let her animal soul speed on its way in peace. Then the two youths went forth into toe tribes that inhabited, the Sabine hills, and there they bar­ tered for wives. Upon their return they set about toe business of found­ ing a new race and a new city, after having divided their tiny domain. Only Native Sporting Oog The Chesapeake' Bay Retriever is the only native American sporting dog. His parents sailed from Eng­ land, however, and therein lies a story. More than 100 years ago, says the American Wildlife Insti­ tute, an English brig was wrecked off toe coast-of Maryland. Thecrew and cargo and two Newfoundland puppies, a male and female, were rescued by an American ship. These dogs proved wonderful retrievers. They were bred with toe Maryland hounds and, through years of breed­ ing and cross breeding, there emerged what we know as the Ches­ apeake Bay Retriever. By 1885 there had been'developed a type of dog which often retrieved more than 20f ducks a day in the icy, rough wa tors of Chesapeake bay, but thst of course; was a long time age.

PAUL WORKS A HARD FIELD LESSON TEXT—Acts 18:1, 4-11; I Corin­ thians 2:1-5.GOLDEN T E X T -I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.— Philipplans 4:13. “Sissy!” That one word uttered with toe depth of scorn of which only a school boy is capable, is enough to ruin toe happiness of the one toward whom it is directed. The writer of these notes has ’ a manly son of eight years of age who has many ambitions in his young heart, but one great fear, namely, that he may do something that will mark him as a “sissy.” It is a commendable thing that boys should feel that way, provided, Pf course, that they are properly in­ structed in home and church so that they know that real manly courage does not mean being a ruffian or an ungodly person. - One could wish that more of that spirit were evident in the Christian Church. We really have all too many professed believers who are “soft”—afraid of the hard blows of life. These people tell young folk both by word and deed that Chris­ tianity is a religion for the soft­ hearted and sentimental, when as a matter of fact it calls-for all toe red-blooded vitality of -the strongest man and woman. Here is a place for the boy or girl, man or woman who has a backbone and toe spirit of the pioneer. It is a great and glorious battle in which we are en­ gaged. Paul knew it and lived it. Li toe progress of his ministry we find him at Athens (Acts 17), where a brilliant appeal to toe philoso­ phers of that place brought little result. From thence he comes to Corinth, one of the greatest and most wicked cities of the day. Here he meets a difficult task. I. Hnman Inability (Acts 18:1, 4- 8). To call a man a “Corinthian” was to label him- as a drunkard and a libertine. The town was really tough and Paul walked right into that impossible situation to preach the gospel. He naturally first went to the Jews in toe synagogue, but when he preached Christ they made short work of putting him out. Rather we should say he very def­ initely separated himself from them. Consider toe graphic picture in verse 6 . But he didn’t go far, he set up his testimony for Christ in the house next (door, where God had a believer all prepared to re­ ceive him. The preacher of the truth may move, but he does not run away .from God’s appointed place. Opposition was evidently keen, and as Paul came and went toe leaders in the synagogue would probably- meet him and make known their plans to destroy him. This, added to the opposition of the wicked city, was enough discour­ age any man. He had some results (v. 8), but on toe whole he had to struggle with toe heartbreak of an impossible task. But the hour of man’s extremity is toe time of God’s opportunity. There comes H. Divine Encouragement (Acts 18:9-11). God never tries' His people be­ yond their ability to bear. It is not always given to His servants to have the assurance of success which came to Paul, but in all probability they do not face such staggering discouragement. In any case, those who have walked in the valley as well as on toe mountain top with toe Lord testify that He gives strength in toe hour of weakness to all those who trust Him. Paul was assured that no bodily harm would come to him and that he was not to think that he was alone, for there were many of God’s people even in that wicked city. Safety and fellowship were thus as­ sured, and none too soon, for al­ most at once a bitter persecution broke out against him. Read verses 12-17. Note that the assurance of God’s protecting care does not mean that we shall escape trials and sor­ rows, but that we are to be kept in toe midst of them. HI. The Secret of Victory (I Cor. 2:15). ’ Looking back on his ministry in Corinth, Paul writes of the secret of his successful work there. This is a passage that every teacher and preacher of God’s Word should prayerfully ponder. Eloquence, hu­ man wisdom, and self-confidence may be the basis of success in the things of toe world, but not in toe ministry of the gospel. Howwellwe know that the most carefully rea­ soned and well-phrased message may be utterly flat and powerless, while the stumbling utterance from a heart full of toe love and grace of God “becomes a fire and a searching and a burning, because the Holy Spirit catches it up and bears it upon the inner conscious­ ness of men” (Morgan). Hie man who preaches without his soul atremble with the sacredness of his task, bis own unworthiness, and an appreciation of the power ,of God, may be eloquent and learned, but he will accomplish little' 1st God. Curtaining Windows To Licrease Width' By RUTH WYETH SPEARS A READER living on a rural • route in South Dakota writes m e: “My parlor is 16 by 14 feet’ and has an 8 foot ceiling. Right in the center of the 16 foot wall are two windows, each 6 feet high: and 3 feet wide. They are only I' foot apart and I foot from the ceiling. How should I curtain these windows? Should the drapes AN OUtUNE DRAWW6 OF WML MADE TO SCALE SHOhS THAT VANDOhS ARE--------- -----------BADEf SMCED ANDSHOULD LOOK WIOER THE IUO WINDOWS TREATED AS A UNIT- DRAPES EXTEND 6 'OVER WUL AT SIDES cover toe I foot space between them? How long should they be? Would you extend toe drapes nearer toe ceiling? I have been advised to do this.—S. A.” These questions are nice and definite and all dimensions are given. A scale drawing was maif.e a little larger than the one shown here; % inch to a foot. This showed immediately that toe win­ dows needed to look wider rather than higher. By framing them with a valance and side drapes to the floor they are made into a unit of pleasing proportions.

G WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON XTEW YORK--Not all the news ’ these days has to do with fight­ ing and contention among the na­ tions. On a week-end run to Wash- n> . w 3 , ington, this Plcutt W izard to writer found Brazil to Grow Brazil borrow- GoodwiU Fruit inS " r. Tfnyson Swingle, America’s 68-year-old plant wizard, in a unique and friendly deal which probably will ring more cash regis­ ters than would Mussolini if he iswallowed all the Balkans in one gulp. Busy all over the world for 40 years or' more, Mr. Swingle has created enough new wealth with his plant conjuring to build a sizable battle fleet. Brazil, getting on Uncle Sam’s cufi for $120,000,000, breaks precedent among debtor nations by immediately getting busy in a long- range effort to set up a favorable trade balance and get square with the export-import bank. She thinks Mr. Swingle can show her how to grow many things which we urgent­ ly need. Furthermore, she intends to become entirely independent of aggressor nations, not by ersatz or by a strong-arm economy, but by scientific utilization of her natural resources in soil and climate. Mr. Swingle departs for Brazil with the sanction and co-operation of the department of agriculture. His ex­ penses are paid by the Brazilian ..government. Tung oil trees, rubber and quinine will get Mr. Swingle’s immediate attention. BTazil thinks that, with some expert coaching by Mr. Swingle, she cah bring all these through as negotiable assets in interest or amortization day. It looks to this observer like a sunny break in the blizzard of screwball eco­ nomics which has been sweeping over the world. The above will be just a starter. Mr. Swin­ gle’s research will cover virtual­ ly the entire range of Brazilian agriculture and forestry. A native of Pennsylvania, a bota­ nist, educated at the Kansas State agricultural college, he became an “agricultural explorer” for the Unit- _ , ... . . ed States gov-Toured World ernment in 1902 Th Search of working in near- Plants for U. S. Jr cou^ try in the world. He brought Egyptian cotton to Ari­ zona and Acala cotton to California, and helped establish the date indus­ try in the latter state. In Florida, he achieved miracles of hybridiza­ tion in citrus fruits. He added im­ measurably to the knowledge of pol- lenization, hopped up the seeing power of the microscope, and, in French, German, and English, wrote authoritative treatises on plant pathology, cytology, taxonomic bot­ any and citrus propagation. His fame is widely international and he is a member of every important sci­ entific society in his field. A homespun American, he is as clubby as a suburban garden­ er, exchanging garden lore over the back fence with his neigh­ bor. His export of ideas and seeds and cuttings has yielded • vastly mor'; goodwill and tangi­ ble wealth than our exports of scrap iron, and his imports have run up into billions. ■T'WO years ago, it appeared that John Logie Baird, the mop-haired garret inventor who took the lead in British television, was running sec- _ _ , , ond to other in-Sonsef Red and ventors. The Morning Gray ; postmaster gen- A Start On Way era! ruled against him in picking the Marconi-Emi system for the British Broadcasting corpora­ tion. But now his system is work­ ing in London motion picture thea­ ters and his representatives are here .to install it in several Broadway houses. The son of a Scottish conntry parson, in an old tweed coat and slacks, he lived meagerly in a dark soho attic and worked with a set of carpenter’s tools, a vac­ uum tube and a few magnets, with no results. lWhen he start­ ed thinking his way through a problem, he went to bed. He had been in bed a couple of weeks, when, almost despairing, he saw a red sunset through the window. That suggested a take­ off from the infra-red zone of the spectrum. On February 3, 1928, he flashed a picture across the ocean, a ghost face flickering on the wall of the dark cellar of A. M. Hart, of Hartsdale, N. Y, In the old days, his trousers were patched, his hair was. a brush heap, and he usually had one sock droop­ ing. Now, as president of Baird Television, Ltd., he is slicked up a lot, and, according to all accounts, is becoming a magnate. “Sunset red and morning gray start the trav­ eler on his way.”e Consolidated News Features.- - - WNU Service.

P ro b a b ly you’ve listened to his “G ate­ w ay to Hollywood” on the air, and perhaps you heard the final result of th at search for movie talent—the selection of Rowena Cook and Ralph Bowman as the two fortunate young people whose names will be changed to “Alice Eden” and “John Archer,” with the leading roles in the picture, “Career,” as their first screen ap­ pearances under these names. Six other contestants were given contracts, and the search for new faces for the screen wfll probably be taken up again by some of the big producing companies. About every so often this search seems like a good idea to the movie-mak- ers; usually it is practiced tor a while, with plenty of ballyhoo and re­ sults that are anything but spec­ tacular, and very little in the way of real talent is brought into the studios. Carrying it on with the aid of radio, as Mr. Lasky has done, may be the solution. Certainly there are plenty of potential movie stars in our midst, and all they need is a chance to make good. Jean Parker seems to be the pub-' lie’s favorite actress for the roles of the heroines of Gene Stratton Por­ ter’s novels.

Playing a leading role in “Gone With the Wind” isn’t enough to keep him really busy, it seems, so he has signed with Selznick In­ ternational to act as associate pro­ ducer on “Intermezzo” and play the leading role as well. It is scheduled to go into production early in May, and he is spending his spare time on pre-production plans. There’s an amusing story going around about Sally Eilers’ four- year-old son, one that would indi­ cate that he’s losing no time in acquiring the typical actor’s point of view. He made his screen debut in “They Made Her a Spy,” his mother’s latest picture. And when he was shown some of the rushes he demanded, like any actor greedy for close-ups, “Where’s more shoots of me?” — JK “ Seems hard to believe, but Major Bowes* “Capitol Theater Family Hour” celebrated its 852nd week on the air recently.

If you have not already done so, you really should take steps in this matter, for one or the other of these types has practically become a “must” in the up-to-the-minute clothes collection. Your choice is in no way limited, tor every type from classic checks and stripes to color-glorified plaids are represented and it’s ditto for dots. Quaint checks in conventional sizes and simple two-color treatment which return to vogue with the “southern belle” fashions, inspired by the movie version of “Gone With the Wind,” are at their best in stiff silks, such' as taffeta or taffeta-ized silk crepe. These checks are as stylish for mother as they are for daughter, and as chic for evening as for day wear. Reminiscent of Civil war days is the dress shown to the right in the illustration. It is of black and white checked silk taf­ feta with deep square decolletage both front and back. Dainty white lingerie embroidery (most every costume carries a lingerie touch Uiis season) outlines the squared neck- Jine and trims the sprightly puff sleeves. Sturah silk is big news, Paris dressmakers are making a 'dig to-do about this silk, hailing its revival as one of the most significant fabric style trends this season. The new check surahs will delight you as also will the dotted patternings. There’s no end to stripes. They start pin-stripe size and continue to run the gamut into wide, wider, wid­ est versions. To be had, are the prim and quaint Victorian stripes mostly just one color on white, or -if you are style alert you’ll want silks in the handsome wider direc- toire stripes, or if . you have gone gypsy as is the way of fashion this spring you will insist on stripes in vivacious coloring for a full skirt to wear with your new sheer white blouse. With your navy or black suit you’ll be right in style if you wear a hat of Spanish stripe silk and carry a bag to match. Simple stripes, one color on white, are quite a featured theme in the latest fashions. See the dress cen­ tered in the group. It is made of black and white striped taffeta. It has the old-fashionedlook that is so decidedly new-fashioned for spring and summer 1939. You will not be able to resist the new plaid silks such as fashions the stunning daytime dress pictured to the left in the foreground. Solid blocks of color form the plaid in this printed silk crepe dress. It’s the test word in chic, is this strik­ ing and youthful dress with its swing skirt that measures yards and yards about the hemline. The bodice is draped and is detailed with a soft knotted bow. The lingerie touch is introduced by a band of white mousseline de soie, edging the neck­ line and the sleeves. These plaid silks are'just the thing for the blouse you will wear with your navy or black or the new navy- green suit that is causing such a furore in Paris. Capes and jackets lined with plaid silk are on the style program, too, as are also the new petticoats that are the style sensa. tion of the moment.® Western Newspaper Union. C l o q u e O r g a n d y i From now on through the spring and summer season the world of fashion is destined to see myriads of ruffles and flounces. The latest trend is toward the new tiered sil­ houette. Touwillseethistreatm ent not only in summery sheers but likewise in light woolens and silk surahs and crepes, for afternooh wear. The model pictured interprets this.new tier silhouette to a .nicety in a party frock'made of lovely col­ orfully printed doque organdy. If you have not already done so be sure to acquaint yourself with this exquisite summer fabric. It makes the most adorable dresses one can imagine. L a t e S t y l e s T u r n T o T a i l o r e d S u i t s In the suit brigade for spring are large groups of very strictly tailored suits which have slightly longer than hip-length jackets and skirts that usually are gored or plaited. Jack­ ets bound around with braid are frequently shown with such suits. They come in smooth twills or hard woolens, and are rather mas­ culine-looking, biit go with blouses which are so sweet, feminine, and dainty that they become girlish iq effect. AMERICANS Elmo Scott Watson S h i r t w a i s t F r o c k L a t e s t f o r E v e n i n g The shirtwaist-and-skirt theme for evening has quite a following. Some gay spirits have concocted informal dinner gowns by adding a bishop­ sleeved shirtwaist blouse of white silk or dotted chiffon to the long dark skirts of their evening tailleurs. Sometime they link the two with a gay cummerbund. Others dress for informal home dinners in a long dark skirt and a sheer short-sleeved white organdy blouse. D e t a c h a b l e S k i r t D o e s D o u b l e D u t y Buy your new print frock or make it yourself'as you will, but if you want it to do double duty see to it that you add a detachable skirt of dark silk crepe that has a wide crush corselet girdle that buttons about the waist, the skirt open up front to show off the print to better advantage. To Lend a Lsey Look The importance of silk lace, not only as a trimming but for entire dresses, is an interesting new note struck by outstanding designers. The ‘Old Pioneer’ A CENTURY ago newspapers in * * various parts of the country fre­ quently printed contributions signed “By an Old Pioneer." The man who thus signed himself was one of the most interesting characters in the history of the West—John Mason Peck, preacher, writer, teacher and editor. A Yankee by birth, Peck arrived in St. Louis in 1817 as a young and zealous preacher sent out by the Baptist church to Missouri territory. Except for two or three years, the remaining four decades of his life were spent in traveling thousands of miles on horseback, preaching, exhorting, establishing schools, churches and Bible societies, mak­ ing friends and giving counsel to many a settler far removed from civilization. Also during this time he was making an even greater contribu­ tion to posterity. He was recording his observations and impressions of the people and the country through which he traveled. He interviewed many frontier notables, among them the venerable Daniel Boone and later wrote a biography of the great Kentucky pioneer. By the time of Peck’s death in 1857 his journals numbered some 53 manuscript .volumes which he willed to a library. At the beginning of the Civil war, the librarian went away to fight and Peck’s material was stored temporarily. When the library was moved to new quarters at,the end of the war it was left behind and eventually was acquired by a paper milI and turned into cardboard. Thus much priceless his­ torical information was lost. But despite this loss, Peck’s life had not been lived in ’ vain. His writings, published in the newspa­ pers, had a great deal to do with bringing settlers into Illinois and Missouri and in establishing those two commonwealths.• • * Under Five Flags \X 7ALPOLE ROLAND is believed ’ ' to have been present at more historic events and known - person­ ally more historic characters than any other American who is not fa­ mous in his own right. He served under five flags, with the British, as a major in the Turk­ ish army during the Crimean war, a colonel of cavalry in the Mexican army, a general in the Chinese army under Li Hung Chang, a scout for Custer in the Civil war. During the Crimean war he was an eye­ witness to the famous Charge of the Light Brigade and in India he was present at the “Relief of Lucknow.” He knew the Duke of Wellington, Napoleon III, Sultan Mejdid VI. of Turkey, who decorated him, and Abraham Lincoln, who expressed his gratitude for Roland’s leaving the Chinese army to volunteer in the Union army. Roland went 20 miles into Confederate territory and re­ turned with the topographical maps upon which the famous battle of GetUrsbivg was fought. At the age of 71, he volunteered for service in the Spanish-American war and was rejected as being phys­ ically unfit. But 13 years later, at the age of 84, he was lost in the Canadian woods for 21 days without food—and came out of it without any injury to his health. In fact, he lived to be more than 100 years old, but this war-worn adventurer spent his Iast days in a poorhouse in Detroit.* * * ‘The American Traveler’ T OHN LEDYARD, Dartmouth ” sophomore, paddled home in a canoe down the Connecticut river to Hartford in 1772. This was not only the first recorded trip of its kind— it started Ledyard on his career as “The American Traveler,” who saw more of the world, as it was then known, than any other man. He went to sea and tended in Lon­ don at the time the great navigator, Captain Cook, was preparing for his third South Sea voyage. He won a berth on Cook’s vessel as a corporal of marines. Returning, he went to Paris and hobnobbed with Thom­ as Jefferson, Lafayette and John Paul Jones. Then back in America, he accepted Jefferson’s suggestion that he explore the western part of North America by crossing it on foot eastward to Virginia. This meant going first to London, cross­ ing Europe and Asia and taking a Russian ship to - the Vancouver; is­ lands. He started from London in De­ cember, 1786, and reached Stock­ holm uneventfully. He learned there that he was to cross the Gulf of Bothnia by sled but the ice route to Russia - was not- frozen over. Faced with waiting until spring to cross by boat, he decided to walk around the gulf instead—a 1,500 mile trek through unknown country. Although the feat seems impossi­ ble, he reached St. Petersburg sev­ en weeks later. H e'continued by sledge across Russia until Empress Catherine banished him as a French spy. Shortly thereafter he started on a trip to explore' Africa but died sud denly in Cairo, January 17,1782.• Western Hewipeper Unlca. WHAT to EAT Lnd WHY C . Houston Goudiss Explodes Some False Notions A bout Food; W arns Homemakers Against Fallacies and Superstitions By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS r T HAS been well said that a little knowledge is a danger­ ous thing. This is particularly true of dietary facts, for half-truths can be more misleading than lies. There should be no place for half-truths, misinformation or superstition in a matter so vital as the choice of food. Yet judging from the letters that come to my desk, thousands of homemakers are being influ - 3 ------------------------- enced, not by scientific knowl­ edge, but by “old wives tales," and a multitude of fads and fancies which there is not a shred of scientific evidence to support. Some food fallacies are harm­ less. Others may be detrimental to health. For they result in an unbalanced diet that deprives the body of substances needed to maintain physical efficiency at the highest possible level. Misinformation About Meat Many common and persistent fallacies concern the eating of 4»eat. It is wrongly charged that light meats are more w holesom e than dark meats . . . that veal is not completely digest­ ed . . . that meat is a contributing cause to disease, and many other equally foolish no­ tions. All these misconceptions are in a class with the absurd ideas that eating turnips will make you brave, that lettuce is a cure for insomnia, or fish a food for the brain. There is no evidence to support the belief that some meats are less desirable than others because they are less completely digested. Tesis show that the length of time meat remains in the stomach va­ ries with such factors as the quan­ tity of fat present, the method of cooking, and the amount of chew­ ing it receives. But there is no marked difference in the thorough­ ness with which the different kinds of meats are digested. Erroneous Ideas About Cheese Other fallacies that continually crop up in my mail are the ideas that cheese is constipating, and that this good food is not complete­ ly digestible. N eitherbeliefisin accordance with the facts. Numerous tests have shown that when cheese is given a proper place in the diet, it is usually well digested. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that there is prac­ tically no difference between cheese and meat with respect to ease of digestion. As for the completeness with which this food is utilized, by the body, studies made by investiga­ tors for the United States depart­ ment of agriculture, demonstrat­ ed that on the average, about 95 per cent of the protein and over 95 per cent of the fat of cheese were digested and absorbedl - Some few persons may have an allergy to cheese just as they are sensitive to a variety of other pro­ tein foods. But that is an abnor­ mal reaction and has no bearing on the use of cheese by persons in normal health. Cheese Is No! Consfipafing The mistaken idea that cheese is constipating doubtless arose from poor menu planning. Cheese is a highly concentrated food. It enjoys the distinction of being the most concentrated source of pro­ tein known. Because of this fact, menus containing cheese should be balanced by the inclusion of foods containing bulk or cellulose, such as fruits, vegetables or whole grain breads. When these foods are omitted, it is not the pres­ ence of cheese, but the absence of bulk that is responsible for the meal being insufficiently laxative. Homemakers who have, the in­ terests of their families at heart will banish the notion that cheese is either constipating or difficult to digest when properly used. They will give this splendid food a regular place in their menus and thereby provide valuable nourishment at a most economical cost. It is doubtful if any other food provides such a variety of important nutrients concentrated in such a small space. Besides its fine quality protein, cheese is notable for its energy values, for supplying the minerals, calcium and phosphorus, needed for teeth and bones, and as a source of vitamin A.

The food faddists say that fruits and milk must never be tak­ en at the same meal, for the fruit acids will cause the T n illr to . curdle. Here is an outstanding example of the misleading effect of half-truths. For it is a physio­ logical fact that milk is always curdled in the stomach by the action of the hydrochloric acid! Some people are afraid to eat acid-tasting fruits because they have, the erroneous idea that they produce “acidity” in the body. In spite of their acid taste, however, most fruits have an alkaline reac­ tion following digestion. . My earnest advice to home­ makers is to disregard all such fads and fancies.

All voters, whether wet or dry, are demanding an accounting from legalized liquor. When repeal was accomplished the agents of liquor promised great reduction in taxes and crime by the huge revenue promised from the control and sale of legalized liquor. The grand mogul of the liquor trnst, R. R Reynolds, while traveling in a false pretense auio said in 1932 at every farm, home, .town, hamlet and city in this state in substance: That liquor is already here and it has always been here aad it will always be here and it is a shame for us not to reap large revenue from the sale of oceans of liquor and thus reduce our high taxes. The people in general fell for this satanic and sardonic argument. Later great cedars of Lebanon, and giant palm trees like Hoey and John Spr . t Hill and thousand of others were uprooted and strafed by this reprehensible doctrine. Bnt this day is judgement day for liquor and its cohorts. Every citizen of the state is demanding light, tacts, reports, figures from control board members to explain why crime has increased and taxes have increased by leaps and dounds. Now come on Mr. State Control Board Governor and every member of controt boards and give the full figures as to all your receipts and disbursements. Sworn itemizen re­ ports and accounts are demanded. Yon must now .speak the truth and give the whole state the light or you must g!ve place to others who are honest and will give the public the facts. Generalities will not suffice; salaries, expense accounts, rents, and full record of all profits and losses on the business must be given to the public. Corruption, delaps, procrastinations, and misre­ presentations will not be tolerated. The hour for tbe full light on liquor is at hand.—R. L. Godwin, in Winston-Saleji Journal. L a b e lin g C a r e le s s D r iv ­ e r s . The mayor of Scranton, Pa., has ordered the painting of circles on all auto involved in accidents. Ac cording to his specifications tbe first accident calls for a yellow circle, second accident for a red circle, and the third accident would find tbe driver’s auto triple-labeled with blue circle. According to the mayor’s theory such markings not only will serve as a warning to give the marked cars plenty of room, but will be constant reminder to offending drirera of their recklessness. But why let the color scheme be limited to only three markings? Obviously that is not enough to impress some offenders. Assuming that tbe flivver manages to stay on its wheels after three crashes, some provision ought to be made to re- mind the driver and the public that it is still going strong and can be depended on for a few more .broken limbs and maybe spattered brains. Or could it be that after three accidents, the mayor means to paint a new and different picture for the driver—one that can be seen only through the bars of a hoosegow? But at that, Scranton's mayor has initiated a program that is a- bout as promising of results as any other in all the long list of plans to provide "greater safety on the high­ ways. NofellowwouId want his auto marked even with one circle, and if .the revulsion is deep enough to change the driving tactics of just one person, tbe program would be justified.—Ex.

B u s in e s s ? The stock market has been go ing down in the face of little change in business. One reason is the fear of war—the day Italy in. vaded Albenla shares took a trem­ endous drop, and the ticker couldn’t keep up with sales. Another rea­ son is the belief that European holders of American securities have been dumping them in quantities too large for the market to absorb in orderly fashion. As Ior actual business, it doesn’t.give cause for any great optimism—but neither does it give cause for the bleak pessimism now current in some quarters. Retail sales baye been good!

During this century, we have seen the passage of much .good leg­ islation designed to prevent the greedy, rapacious and unconscion able employer from exoloitiug 'the worker. But two wrongs never vet made a right—and legislation which actually encourages labor to go to extremes, as a few employers used to go, harms us all. - We need balance in labor legislation—laws which will protest the rights of both pa-ties restrain each side from acts and policies which are opposed to the public interest, and actually bring peace.

Ic is indeed a pitiably sad com­ mentary that it has taken the of flcials of the present administration six long years—six long years—to And out the disastrous nature of their coutinued attacks on business. Perhaps we should be thankful .hat- at last they have made this liscovery. Business is the conrage of the ex raordinary wealth that thiscountn ias accumulated.. It is the source >f the prosperity about which w t iften have cause to proudly boast. Batyear after year, for six long years, business has had to Btrnggli with many foolish restriction* created by government officials who often seem resentful of successful achievements in almost every com­ mercial enterprise. Some of the workers in the past have applauded these misguided Sorts, but some of those who have taken, the trouble to analjze th>. fituatign have found it desirable t> change their I applause- to bitter resentment, foe though this disae trous policy ten million 'or m ore ot our good ci.izens have been com­ pelled to accept the dole or govern­ mental charity jo s, and a colossal indebtedness has been incurred which the workers will have to pay. unless those who invested in gov­ ernment bonds are compelled to assume the loss through national bankruptcy. And do not acquire the idea for ? minute that the men with great wealth will have to assume the brunt iif this catastrophe. It will have t- be borne mostly by everp one wh< iwns government bonds, iiisuranci policies, or values of any kind—it fact, real estate will be the onI> exception. Every insurance compan; is loaded down, with government -.ecuruiea, and when the governmen is unable to pay - its bills, thesi securities become worthless. Annuities, insurance policies, and insurance guaranties cannot be ful tilled. More than twenty-five billion dollars—that has been the breath­ taking cost of the New Deal govern­ ment—that is the additional in •lebtedness which has'been incurrec by . the recklessness of New Dea. officials. Now, suppose we divide that in- debtness among the forty millior workers . . . for ultimately the., will have to pay nearly all of it A little figuring will prove that $625 will be the share of this great na tional mortgage by every activt worker. And year by year, part ni this will have to come out of hi: wages in hidden taxes. It won’t be deducted on pay day—oh, n.,1 But when he bays a suit of clothes, a dozen eggs, a pair of shoos, regard­ less of the nature of the purchases a certain amount will bd added t< the price to hejp pay the princ pal and interest on this twenty-fm* billion-dollar debt. And all this Ss due to the reckltfs spending of wh&t a number of our well balanced economic experts refer to as crackpotreasoning. -Why, one would think that even & schoolboy would know that if he attacks the source of his food ar:d comforts of life,.ultimately he-might. ba denied them, and even a dog docs not bite, the hand that feed* i<! There is an old slogan that ap- ears in a well worn fable. It refers to killing the gooae' that lays the golden eggs, and it seems to many hardheaded-business men that this administration has been busy with every / possible means within its power to accomplish that o'bj active -r-to “kill the gooss thit lays the golden eggs.” .The miraculous commercial prog* perityof this: country is certainly notd[ue to an. accident.

A Yadkin county gold mine which was first worked before the famed rush of ’49, and where Ihe weekly pay off was a nugget the size of a walnut today gave promise of mak­ ing modern North Carolina the Cali­ fornia promised land of a near cen­ tury ago. An authoritative assay late last week showed ore from the Old Groce Mill—in Yadkin, just east of Court­ ney—contains precious metal valued at $25 14 in every- ton. The assay was made by the Ames Laboratory of Lexington, of ore taken from pita ranging in depth from 2 to 25 feet. And theysay they have not reach­ ed the main bodv of ore. GxpertB calls the assay more than encouraging, pointing to the fact that many mines with cnly 14 cents gold value have- bees worked with profit. Authorities who have spe­ culated and worked mines, over all North Carolina term the Yadkin pjs- -iibility the best gold prospect any­ where in this section. Latest work on the G'oce Mining Corporation. headed by Co). William A. Blair of Winston Salem.- Uining experts T. H. Walker. Claude Lee Hicks and .I. M. Saferight are direct­ ing .the actual work inside the mine. Thus far they ha7e busied them­ selves with de water^g and rebuild* mg the 100 foot inSln shaft and with cutting out two additional tunnels 60 and 80 feet in length. And work is growing every day. TheGrocemine isby no means a new subject to Yadkin . county eiti. Z9M, for it was operated a century ago and again about twenty years a70. David Rush Wells, who was birn.and raised in Yadkin county aid who has spent nis life’ working in or living near tbe Groce mine, tells how his and his wife’s people used to work in the mine all week to be paid on Saturday night with a gold nug­ get the size of a walnut. - ‘It was Becham and Sparks from Montgomery county who worke<l-the mine a hundred years ago. There were about a hundred Montgomery stockholders in the company then." WeHs said. Some twenty years ago, the Sunny South Development Company of Nebraska, with Henry Godfrey of Montana, as chief mining engineer, reopened the mine. Many Yudkin county cisizens ;en- tertaia pleasant. memories of the barbecues, picnics and parties given by G idfrey in those days when peo­ ple came from far and near. - The Sunny South Development- Company Wjs short: lived,- however, due to misunderstandings on the part of sime of its sponsors, ard Sheriff Moxley, Wiil Coolev, W, L Kelly and Dr. Asbcry Hardmg were1 ap* pointed receivers AU but .the very young can remember when th e machinery was sold and the mine a* bandmed.—Winston Sentinel.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C- WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON "VfEW YORK.—Progressive educa- tion has been pushed around a lot lately. The Bellwether Lincoln school of New York has been back­ e r tr a c k in g asSee What Came h a v e several O fL eavingC hap other D a n ie l W ith $ 2 Camera B°°nef. o f^ h « educational wil­ derness. From the right came the charge that they just let the young­ sters fool around with toys and tools, without rubbing in any real educa­ tion. Here’s a field goal for the other side. At the somewhat ultra Foun­ tain Valley, progressive school of Colorado Springs, the boy, David Hare, scion of a highly placed New York family, was given carte blanche to build his education around a $2 camera. The idea, as in all progressive schools of those lew years back, was to give the green light to any creative impulse. But, at 22, here Is Mr. Hare with a New York exhibit of cam­ era portraiture, with President Roosevelt among his subjects, and with famous artists and photographers, including Arnold Genthe, cheering him as the “Leonardo da Vinci of the cam­ era.” Specifically, they agree that young Mr. Hare has proved indisputably that the camera not only may be, but now is an in­ strument of the highest artistic expression, and that he demon­ strates an absolutely new meth­ od and medium of color por­ trait photography. . His, three-lens camera allows tlw superimposing of color images, In ' the manner of the color-printing process; and makes possible shad­ ing and emphasis in the service Of mood. His is the first and only color portrait exhibit in the country. Art­ ists and prominent society folk are boiling with enthusiasm over Mr. Hare’s achievement.

Bitterness came, too, as when he returned all his war medals to the British government in protest against its treatment of veterans. Somehow, despite the wide and varied exploitation of Bill— books, lectures, a play, “The Better Ole,” a syndicated piece and so forth—Bruce seemed to get the short end of it all. He is said to have received some $10,000 out of $500,000 earned by his black and white creation.

S tar Dnst ★ Must Find Tiny Stars Joan Severs Connections it Storm-Broken Players B y V i r g i n i a V a l e ----- TH E m ovie m oguls keep try ­ ing to discourage proud m others who yearn to get their offspring in pictures — then, every so often, up bobs the rep o rt th at another child is being groom ed for fam e and glory as a screen star. The new est m em ber of the group of child stars is Jacque­ line N ash. She’s a tiny blonde C anadian, nine years old, and according to the story sent out by her press representative, she was recently discovered by Samuel Gold- wyn in a Los Angeles tourist camp. (How on earth Mr. Goldwyn got within ten miles of a tourist camp is a problem that baffles the imagi­ nation.)Jacqueline and her mother, Mrs. Minette Nash, had had their trou­ bles getting to that camp. Winter visitors from their home in Toronto, they had had various kinds of bad luck; they lost their car and their money, and finally Mrs. Nash came down with Au. When things couldn’t get any worse they got better. Mr. Goldwyn discovered Jacqueline and signed her up for the picture' that Jascha Heifetz will make for him. Mrs. Nash has been training Jac­ queline since the child was 18 months old; the youngster’s voice is said to be remarkable in range and quality. But have you noticed that child stars rarely get contracts just by walking into a producer’s office and showing what they can do? Ever since the days when Mary Miles Minter was discovered hang­ ing around in the corridor while her mother and sister waited inside to get sister a job, not a child star has bobbed up without an accom­ panying tale of how somebody dis­ covered him or her. Kay Lorraine, of the “Hit Parade” broadcasts, is one of the few girls who ever refused a commercial audition. Three months ago she was singing on Station KMOX in St. Louis. A New York agent wired to tell her that the Hit Parade officials k ..J KAY LORRAINE had auditioned 207 girl singers, weren’t satisfied with any of them, and wanted to hear her. She wanted the engagement, but felt that anybody who hadn’t liked any one of 207 singers would just be too hard to please. It wasn’t worth while to make the trip to New York on the chance that she would win out. So she refused to go. But the program’s sponsor want­ ed to hear her badly enough to prom­ ise her one appearance on the “Hit Parade” if she’d travel East, and pay her for the engagement. She couldn’t refuse when opportunity knocked that second time. She’s been thankful ever since that she didn’t. Joan Bennett chartered a yacht for a week-end of complete rest when she finished work in “The Man in the Iron Mask,” but no sooner had she boarded it than she dis­ covered that somebody had worked overtime installing a brand new ship-to-shore telephone. She wouldn’t sail until it bad been disconnected. She was fairly sure of not being summoned back for retakes, but HoDywood is full of people who can’t resist calling somebody up the in­ stant they see a telephone. No rainstorm can daunt the actors and actresses who took part in “Wuthering Heights”—17,000 gallons of water per day were poured on their luckless heads for days and days, for those rain scenes.

But being slapped in the face by corn flakes, even unbleached and untoasted ones, when a wind machine is pro­ pelling them at a good, stiff rate, is none too pleasant. -r-*----- ” ODDS AND ENDS—Warner Brother* uiant loan Edwards, who tings on the air with Paul Whiteman's band, for a picture.

However, their attractiveness is by no means their chief lure, for the really grand and glorious thing about most modern washables is the promise they carry of being both fast color and non-shrinkable. Mod­ ern science has worked miracles - iii this particular. Which should be particularly encouraging to mothers who are outfitting little daughter with pretty new dresses for spring and summer. For peace of mind it is only necessary to demand, when buying wash materials, the kinds that carry non-fade and non-shrink assurance. The materials that go to make up the charming dresses pictured take on added interest when you know they will not fade neither will they shrink. For everyday wear in class­ room and happy carefree hours of the day the shirtmaker dirndl type dress shown to the right couldn’t help but satisfy the pride of most any little style-alert girl. It - is made of a sanforized-shrunk slub broadcloth in a smart triple stripe design, with white collar and trim on the sleeves. Shopping in wash-fabric sections these days is as refreshing an expe­ rience as walking through garden? abloom with spring flowers. The Swiss voile florals especially make you feel just like that, they are so realistically flower-patterned in col­ ors that are breathtaking in beauty. If there is one sort of frock more than another that will make a dainty little maiden look her prettiest it is a dress of flower-printed sheer and to prove it the adorable child to the left in the picture says inviting­ ly, “look at meI” She is wearing a dress of fairyspun lawn, which, being pre-shrunk, will wash like a dream, and what’s more the beauti- ful print is fast color, assured by the use of vat-dye. You can get these dainty, sheer lawns in the newest, color schemes, both in flow­ ered and conventional patternings. The shops show dresses made up that are surprisingly inexpensive, and so pretty you will want several. Which all goes to show the chic, the charm and the dependable wear­ ableness of the wash materials that go to make up the new showings. By the way, had you heard that ging­ ham is making style-high fashion news for spring and summer? Not only are little girls wearing it with their usual enthusiasm for this ever attractive and colorful wash weave, but mother and big sister are order­ ing tailored suits made of it, for fashion decrees gingham as fashion­ able to wear about town, at the club and to bridge parties or wher­ ever you go during the active rounds of the day. Gingham also is the “pet” of the teen-age for party and prom evening frocks.

Yoke and Pleats Ribbon Ruffles to Trim Chanel Suit Chanel trims a superb dressy suit with' applique of tiny ribbon ruffles, around the collar, down the front, and around the lower edge of the jacket and sleeves. The jacket doesn’t meet, so a sparkling white gilet shows at the front. The skirt is slightly gathered and has a row of ribbon applique down the front. From Molyneaux comes a suit that combines a rose-colored box jacket with a skirt of soft brown. Ilie jacket has revers and pockets of brown. Pleating continues to add infinite charm to the majority of print silk dresses. Here is a fashionable Per­ sian design silk print in bayadere striped treatment. The silk for this attractive afternoon frock has cool lime green and black as its color scheme. Novel pleating lends in­ terest to the skirt front. The patent leather belt of corselet interpreta­ tion repeats the colors of the print. Notice the waist is made with a yoke which is a styling greatly em­ phasized this season.

Hat Shapes Most Important Item This spring the shape of a hat will be more important than its trim­ ming. Straws are spreading out, enormous brims in odd shapes—pa­ lettes, or shovels or fans. Others, halo styled are_tied on with ban­ danas, mammy style. Doll hats—if you still like ’em—in straw with stiffly starched veils; the inevitable •ehool girl sailor; felts, their crowns blocked in odd shapes; straws with brims like royal crowns, will all be good. Recent Arrival in M illineryRealm One of the latest arrivals in the domain of hats is the black felt sail­ or with rolled brim—the padre style with very flat crown and slightly up­ turned brim on each side. To re­ lieve its severity and give it a dis­ tinctly feminine touch, it is draped with a cyclamen-pink mesh ^ veil gathered at the shallow crown to fall loosely over the face. , !PAUL EVANGELIZES A PROVINCE LESSON TEXT—Acts 19:1, 8-10; 20:17-21; Ephesians 2:19*22.GOLDEN TEXT—But now in Christ Jesus ye who. sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood ot Christ.—Ephesiang 2:13. The Christian Church (that great organization which outwardly rep­ resents in the world the mystical organism which is the true Church) seems to be “stalled,” if we may borrow a word from the automo- bilist. Just like a well-designed and carefully built machine which has "died” on the road. Perhaps the lesson for today may serve to stir up some of us to the responsibility of the Church, and particularly of its individual mem­ bers, for an aggressive testimony for Christ. Certainly Paul knew nothing of the defeatism which seems to have laid its paralyzing hand on present-day Christianity. Our lesson finds him again making the rounds of the churches he had earlier been used to establish. He knew of their dangers, the tend­ encies to backslide, the need of new life in the daily conversion of oth­ ers, and he went about that business with the flaming zeal of an evan­ gelist, with the tender compassion of a pastor, and always with the vision of the heavenly goal before him. Let us learn of Paul. I. The Evangelist—Fearless and Tireless (Acts 19:1, 8-10). At Ephesus Paul did the work of an evangelist with such a passion for souls and such power from God that even his enemy, Demetrius, testified (Acts 19:26) that “not alone at Ephesus' but almost throughout all Asia this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people” from their heathen worship. He met great opposition both in the syna­ gogue (v. 9) and from the worship­ ers of Diana (Acts 19:23-41. But be aiso found that God had opened for him “a great door and.effectual” (I. Cor. 16:9), and we read that many believed and showed their faith by destroying the books of heathendom which were in their homes (Acts 19:19). Are the days of such evangelism gone? Since only the power of God can explain what was accomplished by Paul, the answer would depend on the reply to the question, Has the power and purpose of. God changed? Obviously the answer is “No.” God is the same, and when we are ready to meet His spiritual requirements He will move again in mighty power. Am I ready? Are you ready? II." The Pastor—Lover of Souls (Acts 20:17-21).. Having completed -his journey through Macedonia and Actiaia, Paul is hurrying back to Jerusalem, and not having time to stop at Ephe­ sus he sends for the elders to meet him at Miletus, the nearest seaport. He recalls to them the experiences which he has passed through, tells them of the bonds and afflictions which await him, but above all he wants to admonish and encourage them to go on for Christ. As a. pastor who has been true to God and faithful in his- ministry, he is able to point to' his own walk and work among them as an example, doing this; in all humility. Pastor, shall we ask ourselves if we could! do tt.e same, or would we need'to blush in shame over our failures? Especially noteworthy is Paul’s reference to having gone from house to house as well as teaching publicly. The work of the pulpit or from the.teacher’s desk loseis much 1 of its savor and usefulness if not backed up by personal contact. Some men who preach well, excuse themselves from pastoral work on the ground that they are really preachers, not pastors. Others love to <do pastoral work but do not apply themselves to the work of the study, and so they say their calling is that of a pastor rather than a preacher. Brethren, let us face that, matter honestly and perhaps we shall find that we are simply taking the line ot least resistance. Paul had none of that spirit: He preached with all zeal and power, but he also went, from house to house, “serving the' Lord with alf humility of mind and with ■ many tears.” III. Fellow Citizen in God’s House­ hold (Eph. 2:19-22). The evangelist<and pastor here re­ minds his Ephesian converts that they have entered a goodly fellow­ ship—“the household of God”—and have become “fellow citizens with the saints.” Some folk are called “joiners” be­ cause they like to join every pos- sible society, organization* lodge, or what rot. Well, here is the supreme fellowship of all, which knows no barrier of race, creed, social posi­ tion, age, sex, or nationality, and which brings us into fellowship-with the eternal God Himself. You may “join” if by faith you will take the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and thus enter into eternal life.' Will you join God’s people now? ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS By Elmo Scott Watson An American Spahi CtEW Americans have ever heard 4 of -Marius Van de Weghe. He stays pretty close to his tallow and caustics, test tubes and chemicals and other scientific apparatus in his laboratoiy at a soap company in Chicago. ' You wouldn’t suspect that Marius, a young man of less than 40 years, is an Ouissam Alaouite Cherifien. But that is what you are when the Sultan of Morocco gives you a med­ al and says that’s what you are. Because Van de Weghe, while a soldier in Morocco, displayed un­ usual bravery under fire, the sultan knighted him. Van de Weghe was a spahi in the Moroccan army right after the World war. A spahi is a cavalryman. During a fierce en­ gagement with rebel natives, Van de Weghe rode back two miles into enemy territory to bring back the body of his slain commanding offi­ cer. The kind of men the soldiers were fighting were those who tortured their live captives and mutilated those who were killed. Van de Weghe’s heroism prevented the na- tives from burying the body of his commander with his head protrud­ ing to be eaten by insects. But there is nothing of the hero in Van de Weghe’s present demeanor, now that he is an American citizen and the head of a family. When­ ever anyone expresses amazement that he would risk his life to re­ trieve a dead body he adds his own amazement, stating that neither can he understand how he happened to do it.* * ' * ‘Prince of Trinidad* “ JAMES I, PRINCE OF TRINl- •J DAD,” is an impressive title. The holder of it was an American who married the daughter of a Stand­ ard Oil company magnate. He pre­ sented her with the entire kingdom of Trinidad which they ruled togeth­ er with a firm hand. Trinidad was easy to rule, of course, because Mr. and Mrs. Jam es Harden-Hickey, the Ameri­ can names of the riders, were the only human inhabitants. Their sub­ jects were the land crabs, sea fowl and snakes with which the place was infested. Trinidad is an island 700 miles east of Brazil In the South Atlantic. Discovered by the Portuguese and visited by the British, no power had exercised active possession of it at the time “Mr. and Mrs. James I” went there and proclaimed them­ selves rulers in 1894. But their reign over this small do­ main that reeked with the odor of dead fish, ended in January of the following year when the British sent the warship Barracouta .there to take over possession. This wasn’t the first time James Harden-Hickey was thrown out of a country. He established a newspa­ per, Le Triboulet, in Paris in 1878, and was so,obnoxious in his criti­ cism of the republican government that he was expelled from Franc# in 1880. He died a suicide in El Paso, Tex­ as, in 1898, just plain James Harden- Hickey* Ainerican citizen.* • • Audacious Robert Stobo U OUDINl was famous for his 1 ■* ability to escape from almost anywhere; Sergeant York was note# for his ability to capture enemies b S the. wholesale; but in pre-Revolu- tionary days, Maj. Robert Stobo was famous for both. — The French from Canada were constantly arresting Stobo for sup­ plying Washington with confidential information about the:r plans. But regardless of where he was im­ prisoned he always managed to es­ cape. After breaking out of a cell in Quebec, he paddled up the St. Law­ rence river with three companions. Camping one day on the bank, he noticed a small boat leave a French ship and make toward them. fie could easily have retreated into th6 woods until they gave up the search. Instead he and his companions surprised the party when it landed and captured the group that had been sent out to cap­ ture him! Then, after waiting for darkness, he had the further audacity to order them all into the boat and with guns at their backs, row back to their ship as if he and his parts were captives. They were all aboard the vessel before the crew realized that it was Stobo’s party, not theirs, . that held the guns. ' Once aboard, he had the upper hand and. forced Ute entire crew of 18 to surrender. But this was only a good begin­ ning. In command of the ship, he set sail and pulled alongside an­ other French vessel a mile down the river. Without warning, he fired a broadside against the unsuspect­ ing vessel and forced: its surrender too. Then he set fire to it.. Proudly he set sail up the St. Lawrence and returned triumphant­ ly to Colonial teiritory, having per­ formed one. of the most adventurous feats of his time.• W cateni N ew spaper Uiuoa.

The Record believes in giving credit where credit is due, regard less of political or religious views. We don’I know what his politics is, or what church he belongs to, but the court house janitor deserves much credit for the manner in which he is looking after the sanitary con­ ditions in the. temple of justice. The democratic politicians were veiy busv all day last Tuesday. The five aldermen who were elect, ed get the magnificent sum of $15 per year, which means they are each given their water free. We are not sure just what sala y the mayor pulls down, but it is not en­ ough to cart e his friends or ene­ mies to lose much money or much sleep over bis election. Only de­ mocrats were running in the recent town election, so it is not up to our democratic papers to say that a great democratic victory was won here Tuesday. W e W e re W ro n g .

THREE SHUTTERED HOUSES Dy IEN AMES Copyright—WKU SStVICB SYNOPSIS Driving home through a torrential rain, /oung, well-to-do CIint Jervies picks tip atirl, scantily clad, running in terror-strickenIght down the road.„ She rides a short ways, leaves the car and runs into the woods. He decides to talk to his dear blends. Inspector TOpe and Miss Moss, about hie adventure. Clint still thinks of her as Miss Moss, bis former guardian, though she and the Inspector are married. Clint, having settled down, now manages the Jervles estate himself. In three shut­tered houses, all gloomy and forbiddirg, on Kenesaw Hill, near where dint picked up the frightened girl, lived three families. In one house lived old Denman Hurder, his wife, who had been Ella Kenesaw, and his daughter. Kitty Leaford, and her daughter June. Uving In a second house was Aunt Evie Taine. Uncle Justus and brothers Rab and Asa. The third held old Matthew Bow- don and his wife. Living on the estate was a man known only to June as “Unde Jim.M Following their usual custom the three families gathered In the Hurder home Saturday night Kitty. June's mother, re­tired early with a headache. She was given warm milk, and insisted on taking two sleeping tablets, one more than usual. Strangely upset. June slept fitfully, and In the middle of the night went In to see her mother. Her uncomfortable position warned June that her mother was not sleeping. She was dead. Panic stricken. June ran from the room, out the unlocked door, and into the storm to get Doctor Cabler. It was here that CIlnt Jervies picked her up. CHAPTER IV ' Inspector Tope and Miss Moss had found in marriage the calm happi­ ness of middle age. The Inspector had looked all his life on violence, yet with gentle, comprehending eyes. For a score of years or more he was at the head of the Homicide Bureau at Police Headquarters, and won for himself ’there a reputation not soon to be forgotten. Miss Moss was in a different fashion as shrewd as he. While they were away on their leisurely honeymoon, CIint had planned a surprise for them: There was among the properties of the Jervies Trust a one-story, six-room house sandwiched on a narrow lot in Longwood, bidden in a backwater away from the traffic arteries, with four trees on this lot, and room for • - a flower-garden; Dana Jerries,Clint’s father, had taken his bride there thirty years ago; and he had kept it afterward for the sake of sentiment. Clara and Mat lodged in this house for a while after their marriage; and when Inspector Tope and Miss Moss came home from their honeymoon, Clint met them at the station and drove them to this familiar door. _ Miss Moss, with tears of pleasure in her eyes, protested; but Clint said strongly: “Why, of course you’ll-come here. This is where all the Jervies family .starts housekeeping, you know. Can’t go against tradition.” And when she argued she was not of the Jervies family, he insisted gently: “You’re the only mother I can remember, you know.”She yielded at last, said they would stay a little while; but Clint said they should lodge here till he wanted the house for his own bride. “And that will be a long time, by all the signs,” he promised. On the morning after Clint’s ride pver Kenesaw Hill, he rang the bell as they were about to sit down to the breakfast Miss Moss had pre­ pared; and Tope, in an old blue dressing-gown and slippers, the morning paper crumpled in his hand, opened the door for him. He greeted Clint; and he called over Ids shoulder: “Mrs. Tope, here’s Clint for breakfast.” She appeared for a moment in the dining-room door to smile a welcome, and bade them both sit down at the table. “Almost ready,” she promised. She watched these two for a second, a deep fondness in her eyes, before she disappeared into the kitchen again. When she presently returned, with the coffee in one Imnd and a platter of eggs and bacon, in the other, Tope said: “Wait, Clint. Start over now.” And he said to Miss Moss: “Mrs. Tope, Clint’s had a curious adven­ture. See how it . sounds to you.” And Clint toM them how, driving back to town, he had overtaken a girl in her nightgown, running through the rain upon that lonely road. “Now what do you make of that?” he asked, challenging them. Miss Moss reflected. “I know a little about that placet” she told them. “I know there are three houses; side by side. Matthew Bow- don lives in one. He’s a lawyer, trust law mostly. The firm is Bow- don and Taine. Mr. Bowdon must be an old man now. Two of his grandsons are in the firm ,with him, and Justus Taine, his son-in-law.” Clint exclaimed: “Well, what I want to know is, who was this girl? What had 'frightened her?" The Inspector got up and crossed to the telephone. - “I wonder if Char­ ley Harquail is downtown,” he said. “He might know if anything has happened out there.” Charley was a reporter, and he and the Inspector were old friends. Tope called the newspaper office, and Miss.-Moss and Clint listened to the ,ode-sided conversation. When the old man.turned back to them again, there was a quickening interest in his eyes; and Clint caught him by the arm, demand­ ing: “What is it, Inspector? What did Harquail say?” Tope sat down at the breakfast-ta­ ble again. “I need another cup of coffee, Mrs. Tope,” he said. “To think this over.” And while she poured it, he began to explain: “You heard me ask Charley if Denman Hurder had any children,” he reminded them; and he chuck­led. “That surprised Charley," he said, with a certain gratified vanity in his tones. “Charley wanted to know how I got onto it, and I asked him what he was talking about.” He hesitated, said soberly: “This is what he told me: Mr. Hurder had a daughter named Katherine. Sie eloped, twenty-odd years ago, with a man named Jerry Leaford. Leaford didn’t amount to much, Charley said. He said there was a, row at the time, and finally she and Leaford went home to. live with Under the pretext of inspecting the tires, Clint looked attentively at the three houses. her folks; and then Leaford left her, and disappeared for good and all.” He added, and his tones were somber now: “The reason Charley had all this stuff so pat, Mrs. Lea­ ford died last night, and he'd been getting up an obit for her.” “Died?” Clint cried. ' “She was alive—” “It wasn’t her you saw," Tope reminded him. “She must have been past forty now.” “You asked something about children?” Miss Moss prompted. " “I asked Charley if die had any children,” Tope explained. “He didn’t know. They just got a flash about her death, from the district man out there; and they wanted to give her a good obit, because of course Hurder is a big ,advertiser. Charley said the district man was go­ ing to get all the dope, children and so on.” The others sat thoughtful, watch­ing him; and the Inspector was si­ lent for a moment. He said at last with an apologetic glance at Miss Moss:“You’ll think I’m seeing things at night, but—there’s something wrong out there!” Miss Moss urged slowly: “Why do you think so? Mrs. Leaford was sick, and the telephone was out of order, and they sent someone for a doctor. Isn’t that all?”Tope shook his head. “No one runs for a doctor, ho mat­ ter how big the hurry is, without putting some clothes on.” “What was the matter with Mrs. Leaford?” “Charley said heart trouble,” Tope explained. “But that covers a lot of ground. If a man gets shot, or stabbed, he dies of heart-trou­ ble, as far as that goes. Heart failure will kill a person; yes. But it takes something to make a heart fail. Takes quite a lot, too. These hearts of ours go on pumping pret­ ty steadily, unless something hap­ pens to them. I’d like to know what made her heart fail.” - He took up the telephone, and Miss Moss moved to his side. “Inspec­tor,” she urged, "it isn’t our busi­ ness." He smiled at her. “Let me poke my nose in,” he begged. “I can’t keep out of a thing tUl I know.” He used the phone for a while, turned back to them again. “That was Inspector Heale,” he said. “At Headquarters out there. He hadn’t even heard about Mrs. Leaford being dead. I guess it’s nothing." He grinned at dint. “Son,” he demanded, “what do you mean, coming in here and stirring us up this way? Can’t a girl go for a walk in her nightie along a country road in the rain without starting-so much talk? I don’t believe there was any girl, anyway. How much did you drink last night, young fol­ low?”CIint chuckled. “Had one high ball,” he confossed.' “It bores me to see these kids lushing it up the way they do.” He spoke to Miss Moss. “This girl I took home, Ma­bel Gaye—she was tight Bound she’d kiss me good night. Wanted me to stay—” Miss Moss smiled at the austerity behind his words. “She’ll be grate­ ful to you today," she suggested. Tope said in a mirthful tone: “And you no sooner get rid of her, than another one comes out in her nightgown to waylay you, Clint. What is this strange power of yours?" Clint laughed, and then the tele­ phone rang. Tope went briskly across the room. He said:“Hello! . . . Yes, speaking . . . Oh, yes, Inspector.” A silence, while he listened. Then: “Yes, thanks.”Another silence; and then Tope said: “Why, I’ll come out and see you, and bring him along. Sure.”He put up the receiver and turned back to them; and Miss Moss saw that his eyes shone. “What is it?” Clint demanded. “Inspector Heale tells me he called up the Medical Examiner,” Tope explained. “Doctor Derrie had had no report on the death, so Heale called the family doctor. Doc­ tor' named Cabler. He says Mrs. Leaford died from an overdose of some sleeping-powder.” He added, after a moment: “Accidental.” “Accidental?” Miss Moss repeat­ ed, in a flat tone.There was a moment’s silence, and then he added: “Inspector Heale wants to know how I knew about it. And he wants to talk to you, Clint. I think you’d better drive us out there.” CHAPTER V Clint swung the car off the main thoroughfare. “This is the road,” he said. "I’ll show you.”And he drove more slowly, study­ing the way. Woodlands shut them in on either side before he stopped at last, where there was a path, and a house among the trees. “This is where I let her out,” he explained. Tope nodded, looking toward the house._ “Probably Doctor Cabler lives there,” he suggested. “How far had she ridden with you?” “I was coming down this hill,” Clint explained, and he drove on, said presently: “It must have been along here somewhere that I over­ took her." Tope commented: “No houses, anywhere near.”“They’re on top of the hill,” Clint replied. He put the car swiftly up the grade and the three houses came into view. Tope said, in a low tone as though he might be overheard: “Drive slowly, Clint.” “i ’ll stop,” Clint amended. He pulled up the car beside the road, and got out, under pretext of in­ specting the tires; but at the same time, under the brim of his hat, he looked attentively at these three houses by the road. So did Tope and Miss Moss too.Theie was an undertaker’s gar­ land attached to the door of the house in the middle; and a car with a doctor’s tag stood beside the road. The day was warm and fine after the shower; yet nowhere did Clint see a window open. Some of the shutters were closed and at oth­ er windows thick curtains hung. Behind the houses, the woods were dark and-stitt. When Clint presently drove on, he looked at Tope to see what impres­sion the older man had received. 'Well, there they are,”- he said. 'What do you think?” Tope answered with a slow smile: 'Why, I get notions. Fool notions, maybe, Clint; but I’ve got in the habit of believing them. Itfeelsto me as if the people that lived in those houses were afraid.” “The v girl was afraid," CIini agreed. “But what would they be afraid of?” • “Well,” Tope reminded him, his tone suddenly grim, “A woman died of poison in there last .night. Ii sbe’d known it was going to hap­ pen, she’d have had a right to be afraid.” So Clint was silenced; and they came on into the suburban town that was their destination, and found Po­ lice Headquarters. Miss Moss elect­ ed to stay in the car while they went inside. Inspector Heale came to meet them. He was lean and gray, and his brows were extravagantly bushy. He shook Tope’s hand, and spoke some hearty word. “Might have known you’d' be around,” he said humorously. “You old buzzard! How do you hear about these things so soon? I didn’t even know Mrs. Leaford was dead till you called me up.”“Done anything?” Tope asked se­ riously.Inspector Heale bade them come into his office and closed the door, and he shook his head. “No,” he confessed. “Doctor Derrie’s gone to look her over, of course. Doctor Cabler hadn’t notified him. Cabler was called in late last night, slept late this morning. That’s why he hadn’t phoned Doc Derrie. He said there wasn’t any hurry.” And he explained: “Mrs. Leaford had been taking this dope for years. She took an overdose once before, and came near passing out. This time it was nearer than that.” “Dead when Doctor Cabler got there?” Tope inquired. “Before that, I guess,” Heale ex­ plained; and he looked at Tope and then at Clint inquiringly. “But I want to know how you heard about it,” he reminded them, and Tope bade Clint tell the tale of his ad­venture the night before. So Clint repeated his story; and Inspector Heale listened without in­ terruption till he was done. “The girl was Miss Leaford,” he explained then, “Mrs. Leaford’s daughter. She found her mother dead, and the tetephone was out of order on account of the shower, so she ran to get the doctor.” He grinned. “I didn’t know she made the trip in her nightie," he ad­ mitted. “They’re a queer lot up there, and -she’s as queer as the rest of them.” “They’re that way about every­ thing,” Inspector Heale insisted. “You take electric lights. Hurder put them in his house, here a few years back; and then the others hooked his meter, to save meter de­ posits. The light company kicked, but those folks on the Hill, they mostly get their own way when they want it. Old Mrs. Bowdon—she’s seventy if she’s a day—you can argue with her till you’re blind and she don’t give an inch. “And Mrs. Taine’s as bad,” Heale continued. “She’s one of. these thin, stringy women in a black dress; and she talks in a kind ol whisper as if butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. She can strip the hide off you and never raise her voice. She’s a worker, too. She’ll put on over­alls and go right at it. Do any­ thing. For instance, she wired her own house .and Bowdon’s, and hooked up the wires in Hurderis cellar. If I didn’t know they had money, I’d think they didn’t have a cent, the way she works all the time.” Clint began: “Miss Leaford—** The Inspector said guardedly: “Why, she might be all right, for all I know. She’s always slipping around through the woods, alone, like a wild animal; and she never, speaks to you. Passes you right by—” (TO BE CONTINUED) T i b e t a n s D e p e n d o n S p e c ie s o f W o r m s T o P r o v i d e d i e N e c e iM a ry ‘P ic k -M e -U p * A curious little worm, which is used ,by Tibetan 'natives as a “pick- me-up,” has attracted the attention of missionaries. Locally known as “grassworms,” they make their habitat in lofty mountain ranges ' of the Tibetan border, near the . Tatsienlu leper home conducted by the Friars Mtoor of tbe Hankow Vicariate. Natives eat them dead or alive for medical purposes. In either form they bring fancy prices. They are in great demand for the mentally depressed and for sufferers of stom­ ach trouble. When dead they are- mixed with boiled' chicken. In this concoction they are said to*react wonderfully as “pick-me-ups.” When live worms without cocoons are dugup they are mixed with a strong liquor, distilled from maize. Taken in this form they are considered a potent rem­ edy against stomach ills. So valuable is tbe “grass-worm” considered that hundreds of hunters make a living by gathering them. The hunters swarm the mountain slopes to search for these worms; They easily find eager buyers, anx­ ious to purchase all they can dig um In the winter season, the ground is covered with these insects. More often they are found in the cocoon, less often Without. In either form they find a ready market. Though somewhat smaller, they resemble silk-worms to appearance. The head is covered by a bright- red crust. As winter approaches they burrow head-first straight down into the ground. Here they spin thin cocoons to which they wrap themselves. When the snow melts, their heads begin a sprouting proc­ ess. Thin hairs, resembling grass, spring from the soil. The people of the district believe that the sprouting blades open like flowers and scatter spores which in due time develop ihto-other worms, Who’s Afraid of Pilate’s GhostTourists and botanists who climb the slopes of Mount Pilatus to Swit­zerland to collect some of the SOO different wild flowers that grow there, have long forgotten that it was not till the Sxteenth century that anyone approached it Pilate** ghost was supposed to hover there W U toE atandW hy c. O Houston Goudiss Considers the Question: Howi Often Shall We Eat? Suggests That Some People May Benefit by More Than Three Meals By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS N E of the questions I am frequently asked is w hether or _ not it’s advisable to e a t betw een m eals. A ny answ er m ust take into consideration a num ber of factors. It is tru e th at m any people experience a desire for food jn m id-m orn­ ing, m id-afternoon or before going to bed. Som e begin to nibble as soon as they feel hungry, and often they continue to eat in excess of their needs. O thers, train ed to m ore self- restrain t, refrain from eating, because they have been brought up w ith th e idea th at no food^. should be eaten except a t reg- ’ u lar m eals. - U nfortunately, it frequently occurs th at neither procedure is based upon actu al food requirem ents. Consider the Day’s Food Needs ' In arriving at any decision con­ cerning between-meal eating, the day’s ration should be regarded as a whole. If the foods served at break­ fast, dinner and lundi or supper are carefully chosen, with a view to meeting bodily re­ quirements, there should be no need for many adults to eat between meals. On th e o th e r hand, it should be borne to mind that dividing the day’s food into what we Americans so often call “three square meals,” is primari­ ly a convenient custom. One rea­ son that it has grown up over a period of years is because it al­ lows the maximum free time to pursue our various occupations. In a number of countries, a fourth meal is an accepted part of the day’s routine. No Englishman, for example, would consider go­ ing without his afternoon tea; and workers pause to offices, stores and factories, as well as at home, for a brief rest and welcome re­ freshment. How Many Meals? In recent years, several scien­ tists have advanced the idea that some of us may benefit by eating more than three meals. At a lead­ing university a few years ago, two distinguished investigators conclnded that smaller and more frequent meals would promote general health and well-being for many types of individuals. They suggested tighter meals, but pro­ posed as many as four, five, or even six feedings a day. Another well-known authority has performed various experi­ ments which effectively demon­ strate that a light additional meal to mid-afternoon, consisting prin­ cipally of a milk beverage, in­ creased the efficiency of workers and helped to reduce fatigue. Relieving Lete Afternoon Fatigue Many people experience a tired feeling about four o’clock to the afternoon. During the working day, they gradually utilize availa­ ble food energy, so that by late afternoon, the supply may be greatly reduced—along with both mental and physical energy. Here is a ease where eating be­ tween meals is regarded as a de­ cided advantage, provided the food is carefully chosen. A glass of milk and a few crackers, or some other carbohydrate food, will help to renew energy, relieve the feeling of fatigue and bridge the gap to dinner. It must be remem­ bered, however, that the extra meal should be composed of tight, easily-digested foods so as not to destroy appetite-for the following, meal. Youiig Children and Elderly People Children of certain ages, as well as adults, may benefit by a sched­ ule that includes an extra meal. Very young children—to the tod­ dler stage—are frequently given a mid-morning feeding of' orange juice, or a mid-afternoon cup of milk with one or two crackers. And some school children also make better weight gains if they pause to the -middle of the morn­ ing, or lake an after-school snack, of fruit juice, or milk, and crackers. Aged persons often require more than thr£e meals. That is because large, heavy meals might overtax their digestions, and three light meals do not usually provide ade­ quate nourishment. For this rea­ son, nutritionists, advise that they have a light, mid-afternoon pickup of a hot beverage and crackers; and perhaps a cup of hot bouillon before going to bed. Don't Overeat Thus, it is evident that there are numerous instances when there is justification for departing from the accepted routine. But it must be remembered that as the number of meals is increased, the amount jg of food'taken at each one should «; be decreased. Otherwise, an un­ due strain may be placed upon the digestive organs. Then, too, no matter how the day’s food is divided, it must pro­ vide all the substances required for sound nutrition. Otherwise, the body will be improperly nour­ ished, no matter how many meals are consumed. The diet should be built first Ofi all around the protective foods— milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables; which are such an important, source of necessary minerals and vitamins. It must also supply pro­tein for growth and repair, carbo­ hydrates and fats for adequate en­ ergy, and sufficient bulk or cellu­ lose to promote normal elimina­ tion. Keep the Diet Balanced Whether you serve three hearty meals and forego eating between times, or follow the plan of pro­ viding a mid-morning or mid- afternoon pickup, you should meet the requirements for a balanced diet. * This, you will remember from previous discussions, in­ cludes a pint of milk for each adult, a quart for every child; an egg for each member of the fam­ ily, or at least three or four week-1 Iy; one serving of a whole graiq cereal; one-serving of meat, fish or chicken plus a second source of protein, such as meat, nuts or, dried beans or peas; two vegeta-j bles besides potatoes, one of which should be of the leaty green vari-. ety; two fruits or one fruit and one fruit juice. Questions Answered Mrs. A. C. M.—Though milk is the foremost source of calcium,- the calcium of vegetables has been found to* be well utilized to the diet of adults.' Green, leaty vege­ tables are in general richer to calcium than other vegetables, though carrots also contain a sig­ nificant amount. Mrs. E. L. C—Vitamin B has been found to be an important fac­ tor to maintaining the normal muscle tone of the intestinal tract. This vitamin is obtained' from whole grain cereals and breads, yeast, glandular meats, such , as liver and kidneys; milk, nuts and many fruits and vegetables.©—WNU—C. Houston Goudiss—1939—SI.

(Oxford Public Ledge) The question that looms large on the horizon for thousands of North Carolina boys and girls who are now receiving their high school diplomas is: What next? “ What next?” Picture, if you will, these young­ sters nmcbing out of tbeir class­ rooms, theirfaces bright- with hope, their hearts throbbing with ex­ pectation, their minds pensive cf the future. . They have completed the prescribed coarse of training in high school—a course cesigned to a large degree to lead to advanced training in callege. A few have had access to training in manual arts, home economics, stenography and book keeping. These boys and girls have reached the point in life when each must determine his future. Some have parents who are financially able to see them through college: others realize that if they are to atempt a college education, it must be upon their own recourcefulness. Boys and girls graduating from high school have reached, the point of their first major challenge. Their manner of approach, tbeir spirit and their determination will to a targe extent determine the measure of success that will be their. The nation’s great cities, the wotld’s great industries, trans­ portation and commerce, the pro­ fessions, agriculture, merchan­ dising and othar fields will get tbeir share of this 1939 crop of high school graduates, immediate prob­ lem of the boys and the girls is to find for themselves a place iu which they wi’.l be best fatisfied and happiest in tbeir work, with' due consideratin lor ’the income they may expect from their efforts. The tendency for the past 30 or 40 years has been for youth . to flock to great cities. There tbev were able to find broader fields of Iaoor from which to choose and a larger share of life’s comforts. There was greater opportunity for commercialization of their commo­ dity, labor, but smaller opportunity tor fellowship, comradeship and friendship—ingredients which if present in the city are most dif­ ficult to salvage. Today, these great cities have become immense centers of unemployment and of hardship and of privation. So, in arriving at a conclusion for the question, VWhat next?, our suggestion to boys and girls is ( \ ) that so many as can and as are willing to apply themselves, attend college; (2) that those not able to attend college, use .their public libraries to iurther tbeir education, and, (3) in putting themselves on the market, consider the broad opportunities offered at home apd (4) starch for a field that offers the best return for Cce’s education and abilities. RooseveItAgain Purging Party. “President Roosevelt in addres* sing Young Democratic Club in Washington the other day called on all Democrats who disagreed with present policies to “subordinate their prejudies” or get out of the party. “The party should remain pro­ gressive, it is true.- The Democratic party’s success has made progres­ sives out of the staid Republican par­ ty but Rooseveit should remember that they are two types of Demo­ crats. Each group has the right to their belief The Democratic party was born as a states rights party. Tsday it'is the reverse of that—cen­ tralizing all power In Washington. “In the South, the Democratic party stood for prohibition, but in these six years of Democratic rule, practically every Southern state is wet. In the South, the Democratic has stood for white supramacy, yet Roosevelt has appointed more than 100 negroes to major political jobs as compared with a mere handful appointed by President Hoover. The Democratic platform upon which Roosevelt was nominated, condem­ ned the Republicans for their ex­ travagance and pledged to economize and balance the budget, yet our national deficit is beyond che forty billion mark. AU of the farm programs have collapsed and after spending bil.i >ns to get the unemployed back to work, the number of unemployed remains practically the same. The Demo cratic party believed in itself and believed there were able men within the party to fiil all m .jur j>b3, but Roosevelt went into the ranks of other parties and chose them for his closest friends and advisors. “Roosevelt has accomplished much good by his humane legislation, but he needs to cling closer to the principles of the party in which loyal Democrats believe. His ‘brain trusters’ have proven to be ’party busters.’ By following them instead of the traditions and platform of party that honored him, he should net be surprised to find true Demo* crats disagreeing with him. Not all of them are'allying- themselves with the enamy, but are vigorously try­ ing toget.the party machine back on its rightful feet. Therefore, they should not be read out of the party beacuse they disagree with him here and there. Had he taken tbeir coun­ sel, the Republicans would not have gained so many congressional seats in the last national election.” -Ex. When The President’s Away. Congresman Bruce Barton has done some research in connection with the President's 47 absences from Washington since March 1933, with the result that he has found that the market declined he was a- ,way. When the market declines, it indicates that business men are uncertain. He found in the Re cord of Advances and Declines, 90 representatives stocks listed on the New York Excbance, the 27 ab­ sences of the President represented by 5 Florida fishing trips and 22 to Hyde Park, netted a gain of 42 6 points, or $14,484,000,000; and that the 20 speaking trips netted a loss of 9.3 points, or $3,162 ,000,000, making-a net gain by the Presid­ ent's absences from Washington of $11.322,000,000. - He commented on the 22 times he has left Wash ington to make a speech that stocks declined—bis speeches having a de­ moralizing influence, ever though conciliatory.

Lavignac Ethel Trivette, Christine Hendricks, Jessie Stroud and Miss Stroud Reverses The Will Of The Voters. GovernorHoey has named A. IIall Johnston, of Aslieviile, as special Superior Court judge, to succeed the late Frank S. Hi'l, of Murphy. And thereto hangs a tale. The Constitution provides that Superior Court Judges Je eletted by the people, but clothes the Governor wi;h the authority to fill vacancies occurring on the bench. In 1937, under this power, Gover­ nor Hoey appointed' Mr. Johnston to the Superior Court bench to succeed Judge McEiroy, who reti red. Fifteeu months later, when the voters were called upon to re­ elect Judge Johnston or replace him with another they turned in a 1,700 majority for ex-3olicitor Zsb Nettles. But the appointment of “special” judges comes under a statute en­ acted twelve years ago, by authority of which Judge Johnson, rejected by the voters, is reinstated by the Governor, and this takes him be. yond reach .of the electorate, his continuance in a position at the regular elective judge salary of £8,- 050 depends upon the approval of a single voter—the Governor. As one editorial writer comments “ There is no question in out free State of the right of the pedple to overrule the Governor. But a Gov ernor who has never been accorded the legal right to veto an act of the legislature in the State, surely has no right in good morals or good taste to veto the* vote of ,the people. ’ ’ For a long time Judge Johnston had served the part£ in various capacities, and the Governor's in. terest is understandable, even if in bis zeal he must reverse the ex. pressed will of .the voters. But that sort of action is not uncmmon. Pre- sident Roosevelt also has rewarded many whom the people 'bad reject­ ed, and there isn’t much that any­ body'can do about it.—Statesville daily.

If we don’t they say we are ton serious. If we clip things from othei papers, we are too Iasy to writ< them ourselves. If we don’t, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick to the job all day, we ought to be out hunting news. If we do get out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job in'the of. fice. If we don’t print contributions, we do not appreciate true geniut; and if we print them, the paper is filled with junk. ' If we make a change in' the other fellow’s copy, we are too critical.

In test cases involving 19 defend­ ants in operating slot machines, in Moore county. Judge Rowe of the Moorecounty Recorders court, ruled the slot machines were illegal to operate and sentenced each to 30 days on the roads, sentences to be suspended upon the payment of $25 fine and the costs and machines to be disposed of within 48 hours. The slot machine verdict of the Moore county jurist was a result of cases brought before him from re* cent raids made in every town and community of the county last week by Sheriff McDonald and his staff o f deputies. The officers seized every slot machine they found in operation. The officers acted on an order issued by Judge Phillips of Rockinghan, and a total of 40 machines wereseiz ed in the raids. Twenty-three of the 40 machines found in operation were in Hemp. Mafetfnsville Marriage Licenses.

""ltIf you want to live to be old. make friends of people who are younger than yourself” is the advice of Mrs. Adeline Wood Robertson, Leaksville resident, who recently P3ssed 'her 85 th milestone at her home in that city. Continuing her recipe for longevity, she says: "Don’t worry over things that are beyond your control. And don’t keep on the go all the time, one’s body needs rest. And of all things, don’t talk about age.” Mrs. Snbertson was born at Wood, Va., the daughter of Stephen H- and Rachel Thomas Wo d. She 13 the great grand.daughter of Col. Ric- hard Woyd'. of Revolutionary fame. Her husband, the late H. P. Robert­ son, died three years ago, at the age of 82. She has lived through vital epochs in the American history, recalling the War Between the States and reconstruction days. But through it all she has not become embittered, and still enjoys life. Many childhood episodes are re* tained in her memory for 75 and 80 years. She remembers how it took a handful of Confederate money to buy a dress. Another vivid recol. Ection is that of the agent who conie soon after the death of President Lincoln to sill his enlarged pictures: One of the great changes, she recalls, has been in the schools. She remembers the beginning of the free schools in Virginia when educating other people’s children was the chief discussion in many quarters. Shethinks that older people should travel more beacuse it gives them something to thisik about. She was a recent visitor to her dadghter in Oklahoma, and she always attends - Jir fimily reunion in Virgioa She Iiv jd i 1 Floy I, Va.. before the dayt of free mail delivery, and.* people came to towu from miles around for their mail.

A Fair Swap For Cotton Cf all the numerous and some­ times fantastic plans dreamed up out of pressing necessi'y to rid our­ selves of at least a part of the I T,ooo,000 bales of cotton now held under Government loan, the test to date seems to us to be the one announced by Senator Smith if South Carolina. With what he says is the ap­ proval of the State and Agricul­ tural departments, he proposes to barter cotton aud wheat to Great Britain, Holland and Belgium for rubber and tin. Such a swap would bring to us materials we do not produce, basic staples important to our industry at all times, but especially vitaL in times of war; strategic materials which we would have difficulty getting if that threatened conflict breaks out in Europe. The swap, we read, is to be based on a treaty which would be subject to Senate ratification. This would give to Congress and to the Pre^i Ieut a check and a double, check on an important experi­ mental venture into international barter. —Statesville Record. Ibe Sileot Partner.

THREE SHUTTERED HOUSES Dy KN AMES WILLIAMS Copyright—WNU SERVICB SYNOPSIS Driving home through a torrential rain, young, weIMo»do CIint Jervies picks up a girl, scantily clad, running in terror-stricken flight down the road. She rides a short ways, leaves the car and runs -into the woods. He decides to talk to hie dear friends. Inspector Tope and Miss Moss, about his adventure. Clint still thinks of her as Miss Moss, his former guardian, though she and the Inspector are married. Clint, having settled down, now manages the Jervies estate himself. In three shut* tered houses, all gloomy and' forbidding, on Xenesaw HiU, near where Clint picked up the frightened girl, lived three families. In one house lived old Denman Hurder, his wife, who had been Ella Kenesaw, and his daughter, Kitty Leaford, and her daughter June. Living in a second house was Aunt Evie Taine, Uncle Justus and brothers Rab and Asa. The third held old Matthew Bow* don and his wife. Living on the estate was a man known only tu June as “Uncle Jim/* Following their usual custom the three families gathered in the Hurder home Saturday night. Kitty, June’s mother, re* tired early with a headache. She was given warm milk, and insisted on taking two sleeping tablets, one more than usual. Strangely upset, June slept fitfully, and In the middle of the night went in to see her mother. Her uncomfortable position warned June tint her mother was not sleeping. She was dead. Panic stricken,' June ran from the room, out the unlocked door, and into the storm to get Doctor Cabler. Ii was here that Clint Jervies picked her up. Clint tells his story to the Inspector and Mrs. Tope. They communicate with the police, who are told by the family doctor that Kitty Leaford died of an overdose of sleeping powders. Clint and the Inspector are not satisfied and feel further investigation is necessary. When Clint and.Tope drive back to Kenesaw HiU they find Inspector Heale. CHAPTER V—Continued Someone knocked on the door, and he called an invitation. “Hello, Doc!” he exclaimed then, rising to make introductions. “Tope, this is Doctor Derrie, our medical ,exam­ iner out here. And this is Mr. 'Jervies, Doc. He gave Miss Lea­ ford a lift, on her way to get Doc­ tor Cabler, last night.” Doctor Derrie looked at Clint with a sidelong eye. “I’ve just been talk­ ing to Miss Leaford," he remarked. He was not much older than Clint. “Where?” Clint asked, on his feet instantly. . “At the .house,” the Medical Ex- - aminer ‘explained. “I went up with Doctor Cabler. She was the last one to see her mother alive, and she was the one to find Mrs. Leaford dead. So I had to talk to her.” The others nodded, and Inspector Heale asked: “Find out anything, Doc? What do you think?” Doctor Derrie replied, a little pompously. “Mrs. Leaford had a headache when she went to bed, and took some tablets,” he explained. “One of the barbituric acids,” he added, like one who must be dis­creet to protect his hearers. “Doc­ tor Cabler had furnished them to her for a number of years. Once be­fore she took three, and was very ilL Last night she took two. Miss Leaford prepared them for her. Mrs. ,Leaford was afraid of thunder, and 'Doctor Cabler . thinks that when she didn’t go to sleep as quickly as she expected, even with a double dose, she got up and took the rest of her store of the tablets. Certain- ‘ Iy the bottle they were in is^gone." They listened soberly; and Inspec­tor Heale asked: “Then you say it was an accident; her own doing?” Doctor Derrie hesitated, and he lowered his' eyelid wisely. “Acci­ dent, yes,” he said then. “I shall agree with Doctor Cabler' that it was an accidental overdose.” He added: “She had been dead for -some time before her daughter . found her.”“Miss Leaford?” Clint prompted; and Doctor Derrie explained: “Yes.” He smiled condescending­ ly. “When the storm broke, she went in to make sure her mother was asleep, and found her dead. She tried to telephone and couldn’t raise anyone, and then the lights went off and she lost her head, ran down the road to . get Cabler. That was foolish, and unnecessary, of course, as long as her mother was already dead, but she claims she didn’t stop to think of that." “Maybe she didn’t know Mrs. Leaford was dead,” Tope suggest­ ed; but Derrie confidently shook his head. . "She knew, all right,” he ex­ plained. “That was the first thing she said to Doctor Cabler, that her mother was dead. He and Mrs. Cabler got some clothes on her, gave her some whisky, took her home in the car.” He snapped his fingers in a sort of amazement. “Mr. and Mrs. Hurder hadn’t even, waked up,” he explained. “When Cabler got there, the front door was open, the hall flooded with ra'in.” “I saw the light in the hall as I passed,” Clint remembered. Doctor Derrie assented. “Miss Leaford- said the front door blew open, and the light went out, while she was trying to telephone. The light must have come on again after she left the house.” He rose. “I’ll give them an accident verdict,” he said, a little complacently. “Even if she meant it, an accident ver­ dict will be easier on Mr. and Mrs. Hurder.” Clint came to his feet impatiently. “I’d like to see Miss Leaford,” he said. “Is she up there now?” Doctor, Derrie shook his head. -‘She went out before I left,” he told them. “Hot a bad-looking girl,; I saw her walking off through the woods behind the house, as I came away.” Inspector Heale volunteered: “She does a lot of that, walking around alone. Then there’s a man lives in there by the pond, and she’s pretty friendly with him.” Tope asked quickly: “Where? By what pond? Who is this man?” “Why, there’s a good-sized pond on the Kenesaw land,” Heale ex­ plained. “It’s pretty, in fhere. There was some talk awhile back of open­ing it up for house lots, but they won’t sell the land. This fellow— name’s Glovere—has built himself a cabin in there.” “How do we get to his place?” Tope asked. Heale explained: “You go back toward town till you come to Thay­ er’s garage, about two miles from here. There’s a path just this side of the garage goes right into the pond. Thayer will show it to you.” He moved with them toward the “Mother’s dead,” simply.she said door: and he asked uneasily: “What are you after, Tope? It all looks plain enough to me.” Tope answered mildly: “Well, I don’t like questions unless I know the answers to them. For instance, did something happen to the tele­phone circuit over the hill last night? Did something happen to the electric current? Did the Hurders most generally bolt their front door when they went to bed? And why do folks like those people on the hill let some one squat on their land the way you say this Glovere does? And how does it happen he’s so friendly with Miss Leaford when she hasn’t got any other friends? And where did that bottle go?” Heale grinned and scratched his head; and Doctor Derrie said, in a sardonic anger: “If you’re trying to make a mur­ der out of this, I can tell you where to start. .Miss Leaford put her mother to bed, gave her the dose. She was the last one to see Mrs. Leaford alive and. the first to see her dead. Begin with the girl) That’s the place to begin!” CHAPTER VI June Leaford loved her mother, patiently and tenderly; but there was something more, an intangible. Kitty Leaford, whose latter days were such sad and dreary ones, had-once been gay; once she had known-romance; once for the sake of love she had dared greatly. Even June had seen sometimes the glint o f shining armor in her eyes. A single valorous action, though it may fail, and be punished endlessly, does nevertheless in degree ennoble die soul; and Kitty Leaford had once done valiantly. But now Kitty Leaford was dead, and June moved like a person in a nightmare. Doctor Cabler had brought her home, wrapped in his gTeatcoat but drenched and shiver­ ing still; and they found the door open, the hall half-flooded. They crept up the stairs like conspirators, and so came into the room where Uie pitiless illumination of an unshaded electric bulb revealed this upon the bed. Dr. Cabler made his brief examination. ‘She is dead, yes,” he said. “But !-don’t think we’ll wake the old peo­ ple just now. The middle of the night is a cruel time for bad news. I’ll go next door and get Rab or Asa to help me—” But June said in a cool voice: “Mother wouldn’t like that.”And without weakness or waver­ ing, she helped Doctor Cabler do what was required; not till this was donecwould die permit him to sum­mon anyone. She did not know how long it was before Asa came to her. ‘Go to bed, June,” he said. “Them’s nothing to do here. I can do tiiat nothing as well as you.” ‘I won’t sleep,” she told him. “Go along,” he insisted. "To bed.” And she obeyed in a silent sub­ mission. In her own room she real­ ized that she' was still drenched, wet, cold. She changed into a dry nightgown and lay down. She ex­ pected to stay sleepless till dawn; and in fact she did lie long enough awake to hear the Doctor return, and hear Aunt Evie in the hall. Then she fell asleep; and when she woke, the sun was shining. She opened her door and saw a strange man in a black coat go quietly into her mother’s room and shut the door behind him. Below-stairs, when she descended, all these kin of hers were gathered together. Grandma Hurder was cry­ ing quietly, tears glistening on her gray cheeks. She sat erectly in her chair. June as she came down­stairs heard Grandma Bowdon say in a heavy anger: “Utterly incon­ siderate. No other word describes it.” And as June entered the room, Aunt Evie remarked, in her gentle, whispering voice: “I was concerned about Kitty last night. You remember, she. had a headache. I know what it is to have headaches. I have suffered myself; and Kitty was sick with them, really sick sometimes." She continued, in her pitiless soft tones: “Kitty resented life so deep­ly. And there was always a rebel in her. She would never be happy. I am not surprised.” June stopped in the doorway, in­ credulous and bewildered, trying to understand the implication in their words. Rab and.. Asa were- in the room, but they did not see June. Grandpa Hurder was here in the hall, walking ceaselessly up and down. Then Uncle Justus came in through the kitchen, and said some­thing about breakfast, in the hollow voice of the deaf; and Grandpa Hur­ der shouted into his ear: “Kitty’s dead!” “Eh?” said Uncle Justus.Aunt Evie came swiftly past June and went to silence him; and Grand­ ma Bowdon repeated in Si grim an­ger: “She was always selfish. No con­ sideration.” June cried in passionate stifled anger: “Oh!” she strode swiftly into the room. “What do you mean?” she demanded. “What do you mean?” “June,” said Grandma Bowdon severely. “Mind how you speak to me.” But Grandpa Hurder said stern­ ly in the doorway: “Kitty was cruci­ fied!” There was the dignity of an­ ger in him in this moment. “Cruci­fied," he said. “Long ago.” June pressed her. hands to her lips, understanding what it was they thought. “She didn’t! She didn’t!” she cried. She turned to escape; she went out through the front door. But there was a garland of rib­ bons on the doorknob, so she re­turned' indoors again. Later she slipped out of the house, this time by the side door so as not to see that garland; she moved directly away from the house, into the tract of wooded land behind. Here she could be alone. There was a sound at some dis­ tance; and she raised her head, without other movement, to see what it was. She saw Asa go quietly past, a little way off among the trees, and without seeing her, along a path that led to the bluff above the pond,’ where Uncle Jim Glovere had his cabin; it passed beyond, down to the highway near Thayer's filling-station. And of course this was the way she took when she went to see Uncle Jim.He would know how to comfort her. She was deeply fond of Uncle Jim. He was a big, chuckling man, with an amusing eye. He lived alone in the cabin by the pond, stayed there sometimes for months on end, disappeared sometimes for as long. He wrote; absurdly, poems. When she came to the top of the knoll, he was still asleep. His cabin door was open; and he woke when she darkened the doorway—woke and looked up and said: “Hullo, there, youngster!”“Hello, Uncle Jim,” she said. He sat up, in yellow pajamas, and rubbed his eyes. “You caught me napping,” he chuckled. “I was awake till dawn. Writing a poem about a thunder-storm.” She stood beside the cabin door, her back against the logs, looking down toward the pond while he dressed hurriedly in the cabin be­ hind her. He talked steadily, cheer­ fully; but she spoke not at all, until Uncle Jim, remarking her long si­lence, said behind her: “Tongue-tied this morning, June. ,What’s the matter?”“Mother’s dead,” she said sim­ ply. Something dropped to the floor, in the cabin, and silence trembled there. Then Uncle Jim cleared his throat. “Dead?” he whispered. “Yes,” she told him. He.came close to her snoulder. “Kitty Leaford dead?” he repeated, in an incredulous tone. She turned her head alertly. There was a sound in the wood; the sound of voices, then footsteps. “Someone’s coming,” she said. He started to speak, then stood si­ lently beside her in the doorway; and thus they faced the two men who climbed the trail. A young man came in front; and now the color flowed across June’s cheek, and burned there,, for she knew him. She looked past him quickly, at his companion. This was a plump, white-haired old man who walked with a surprisingly alert step, his hands swinging at his sides. Uncle Jim passed her and inter­posed himself between her and these newcomers; and he said casually: “Hullo!”The young man extended his hand. “I’m Clint Jervies,” he ex­ plained. “This is Mr. Tope.” He turned to the girl. “You’re Miss Leaford, aren’t you?”She nodded slowly, without words. She was trembling. Uncle Jim asked with narrowing eyes: “All right. What of it?” And Clint said, in swift, friendly fashion: “Why, you see, I hap­pened to be passing, last night, in time to give Miss Leaford a lilt. And I wanted to—to make sure she was all right this morning . . . I heard about your mother,” he added, turn­ ing toward June. ‘Tm awfully sor­ ry.” June felt -the strength go out of her. There was a bench built against the cabin front, and she sat down as though her knees gave way. Uncle Jim turned to her with a quick solicitude. “June! Are you Ul?” he whispered. “Are you all right?” “Quite,” she said, and tried to smile. “Let me rest a minute.” Her cheeks were drained white; she seemed to droop forward. He held her; and Tope said:“She’s fainting, Mr. Glovere. Put her head down—” But the girl recovered, straight­ ened up again;- and Glovere said: “Wait a minute. I can do better.” He disappeared, came out with a flask and tumbler. She choked and gasped and sputtered, but her color did return. (TO BE CONTINVED) Monument Absolves Indians of ‘Guilt* Once Attributed to Prstnk of Youth Grandsons of the first settlers near Hudson, Mich., have paid, as best they can, a debt to the Potta­watomie Indians incurred because of what apparently was merely a prank of a Pottawatomie stripling. For three years, residents at Lick- Iey Corners have worked on a monu­ ment near the land once called Squawfield, last Michigan camping place of the Pottawatomies. The monument recently has been dedi­ cated. The history has been handed down from one generation to the next. More than a century ago, the ac­ counts relate, ;a Pottawatomie boy, playing with white boys; brandished his knife around the head of a white playmate. The whites were incensed at what they thought was an attempted scalping. But Bawbeese, chief of the tribe, explained that the boy was merely joking. Most of the whites apparently took Bawbeese’s explanation at face val­ ue; a few others, covetous of land held by the Indians, used Jie inci­dent as an excuse to have them moved to a western reservation as dangerous and not to be trusted.R. M. Lickley, spokesman for the group.which' built the monument -to Ihe Pnttawatomfoe- and Bawbeese, first such honor for the tribe, as­ serts: “We have yet to find a historical record where Bawbeese or any of his tribe ever committed an atroc­ ity. We have thought for some time that the Pottawatomies should be publicly exonerated and should have recognition for their many kind­ nesses to our forefathers.”Liekley’s grandfather was one of Bawbeese’s white friends in the ear­ly settlement.

By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS S TH E w eather begins to g et w arm er, m any fam ilies de% _ A. velop a finicky attitude tow ard food. They com e to the table w ith little appetite and claim th a t nothing tastes good. Before you reproach them , how ever, give som e thought to the type of m eals you a re serving. D o they contain an abundance of crisp, succulent greens w hich tem pt the eye and the palate and furnish im portant m inerals and vitam ins? Do they include juicy fruits w ith th eir refreshing flavors and a p p e tite -s tim u la tin g fruit<9- acids? H ave you cut down som ew hat on carbohydrates and fats? O r a re you still offering enough energy foods a t each m eal to supply the fuel requirem ents of cold w inter days? A carefully chosen diet is an ex­cellent remedy for the letdown feeling that both children and adults often experience at this season. For science has discov­ ered what food substances are necessary to promote appetite and digestion, to help maintain buoy­ ant health. £ Obtaining the Appetite Vitamin We know for example that when the appetite Is- poor, there may be a deficiency of that part of the vi tamin B - complex which nutritionists call B1. There is both experimental and clinical evi­ dence that this vi­ tamin is essential for the mainte­ nance of a keen ap­ petite. In addition, it is also required for the normal functioning of the digestive tract, so that it must be provided in suf­ ficient amounts if food is to be utilized to best advantage. Among the foods which supply this vitamin are whole grain ce­ reals, bran, eggs, milk, peas, beans, carrots, spinach and cab­bage. It is also found in many fruits, though usually - in lesser amounts. In general, a most sat­ isfactory way to insure a liberal intake of the appetite-promoting vitamin is to include in the diet generous amounts of whole grain cereals, milk, vegetables and fruits. As these foods likewise contribute many other necessary substances, they rate a promi­ nent place in the dietary. Foods Thai Build Blood It is also extremely important that menus for finicky eaters should be rich in iron. For this mineral is necessary for the for­ mation of the hemoglobin or red pigment in the blood—and it is the hemoglobin that carries purifying oxygen to every cell in the body. Iron-rich foods include liver, eggs, whole grain cereals, dried fruits, and green, leafy vegetables. I have repeatedly urged the gener­ous consumption of green, leafy vegetables, and I cannot too strongly emphasize their impor­ tance as a source of iron, as well as other essential minerals; and vitamins. Keep the Diei Lexeiive Another piece of advice that warrants repetition is my frequent recommendation that you include in the diet adequate amounts of bulky foods. These are necessary to help promote normal elimina­ tion. If your menus contain too many highly concentrated foods, irregular health habits may re­ sult. ■ And that in itself may be responsible for a feeling of lassi­ tude and a lack of interest in eating. Here again fruits and vegetables are important. To­ gether with whole grain cereals and breads, they constitute our most important source of bulk or cellulose. Set Plenty of Milk Milk is another food that should be used generously, because it contains such a wide assortment of protective substances. It is our foremost source of calcium, which is required for the teeth, bones and for sound healthy nerves. And it contains every known vitamin in varying amounts. If your family does not care for milk as a beverage, make fre­ quent use of cheese which is es­ sentially milk in concentrated form. And use milk freely in sauces and for making desserts. It can also be incorporated in nourishing cream soups, to be served for luncheon or supper. Follow the soup with a salad made from crisp greens and including * protein food, such as cheese, nuts, or hard-cooked eggs. And top off with a fruit dessert. This type of meal appeals to the appetite and provides substantial amounts of minerals and vitamins. Salads Twice a Day A crisp appetizer salad makes a good beginning for the main meal of the day. A combination of watercress, dandelion greens, let­ tuce or shredded cabbage, with fruit, or a small amount of a sav­ ory fish paste will intrigue the most reluctant appetite. And when the salad is served at the begin­ ning of a meal, you can be sure that it will be eaten before the hunger is satisfied. Another way to get additional vegetables into a meal is to mold them in gelatin and serve as a din­ ner salad. Or an assortment of fruits can be treated in the same way and used as a combination salad and dessert. If prepared gelatin desserts are used, a wide variety of color and flavor combi­ nations can be achieved with very little effort; and children will ea( them with relish. You’ll be surprised to discover how quickly interest can be stimu­ lated by serving familiar foods in a new way!©—WNU—C, Houston Goudiss—1939—62. Making a Practical Valance for a Bed By RUTH WYETH SFEARS A SMART new house it was, ** and all the curtains and slip- covers were made by following my sketches in^Hook I, SEWING, for the Home Decorator! But when we came to the second floor it was my turn to get a few pointers. The treatment of each of the two principal bedrooms was quite dif­ ferent.

As my clever young host­ ess pointed out, this is really a bright idea because the valance and its foundation make a cover for the springs in case they are not the boxed type. With the help of Book I, you can make many of the things you have been wanting for the house. Book 2—Embroidery and Gifts, is full of ideas for -ways to use your spare time in making things for your­ self or to sell. Books are 25 cents each. If you order both books, the quilt leaflet illustrating 36 authen­ tic embroidery stitches will be in­ cluded FREE. Address, Mrs. Spears, 210 S. Desplaines St., Chi­cago, 111.

We have a wheat variety demonstration on J G. Crawford's farm near Cooleemee This includes all of the leading va- rities tested on the Piedmont Experi­ ment Station farm, at Statesville, such as Forecaster, Leeps, Red Hart, Alabama Blue Stone, Purple Straw, Forward. Farrow, and some of the wheat whi-h Mr. Crawford has been growing on his farm for several years. We would like for you to see these varieties grown in the field and get the comparison. - We also have a number of nitrate demonstrations put on with Area dian Nitrate of Soda. These con­ sist mostly of plots receiving no. top dressing, as compared to 100,200 and 300 pounds of Nitrate of Soda per acre. We have a small plot on the farm uf H. F. Bowden, with different treatments for smut of all kinds of small grain. May we urge every farmer- who grows small grain to attend this tour. We realize this is a very busy time but we think the information which vou will be able to obtain from these demonstrations will be well worth your time, regardless of how busy you mav be. D. C.

C. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON "^E W YORK.—In the village of ' Woodbury, Ky., the son of a Czeeho-Slovakian immigrant was commended by his teachers for his excellent draw- Churned Butter ings of ships at AndLatin;Now sea. He had Churns Oceans never seen anybig ships, but liked them and had a good idea of what they looked like. Today, tool­ ing the United States fleet of around 300 ships down into the Pacific, Ad­ miral Claude Charles Bloch has con­ verted his youthful artistic urge into a vast and precise knowledge of ships and their behavior—particu­ larly fighting ships. Erect, ruddy and vigorous, quietly emphatic, the 60-year-old commander-in-chief of the fleet is a rarely spotlighted personage of tremendous responsibilities— technical, naval and administra­ tive—as he quietly moves from Norfolk, not only his vast array of battle wagons, but 60,000 offi­ cers and men, nearly 1,000 planes and all the gear neces- . sary for maintenance, operation, communications and fighting re­ quirements. On July 3, 1893,' not long out of Annapolis, he was an ensign on the Iowa when Cervera's squadron of Spanish warships made its historic dash from Santiago harbor and was destroyed by Admiral Sampson’s blocking forces. He was cited for “meritorious service” in rescuing Spaniards from burning ships of Ad­ miral Cervera’s squadron. In the World war, he commanded the transport Plattsburg and won the navy cross for distinguished service. During his 42 years’ service on land and sea, he has held many high posts in the navy. As a boy, the churning was bis household chore. His broth­ ers, now Louisville physicians, recall that he used to study his Latin book while churning and that he paced the “amo, amas, amat” to the beat of the plung­ er. They teased him about that and always found him ready for a fight if the provocation was sufficient. At any rate, studious, reticent and artistic, he followed his boyhood dream over far seas. Finders Keepers? Not for These Boys These 12 East Side boys were honored guests at the Rlngling Brothers circus in New York recently—and for a good reason. Through a mistake they were given 900 tickets supposed to go to a charity organization, and planned to profit thereby.. When they found out the tickets were to go to orphans they promptly returned all 900 tickets. As a result they were admitted free of charge to the big top. - FAWN DANCER Faith Bacon, fan dancer, picked up a fawn, a crowd of spectators and a policeman as she strolled through New York’s Park avenue recently. She was taken into police custody— but the publicity gag worked. Chicago’s School of Baking Teaches by Experience TpHE title of this particular article may well be the effective slogan of the modern world and the end of war if the words of Dr. Robert A. , MiUikan are to Not Too Proud, be taken at But Too Scared their face val- To Go to War ue- Addressing a dinner of the Merchants association in New York recently, the famous physicist said: “It was the fear of the bomb­ ing of London and Paris that prevented the beginning of an­ other World war last September. The peoples of all countries, in­ cluding the dictatorships, are coming more and more to the realization that such another war can only bring death and destruction to everybody — the end of civilization, not the world domination'which the demagog­ ic leader promises.” AU Greek mathematicians to the contrary, Dr. Millikan believes that Achilles will overtake the turtle. That is, fleet-footed science has just about caught up with human stupid­ ity, in spite of the latter’s long head- start, and, with its command of new energies will romp on by into the “world of tomorrow,” where there will be no war or rumors of war. Dr. Millikan is possibly the world’s most persistent cham­ pion of the social salvation in­ herent in scientific advance, - and believes that his runner will break the tape ahead of “inter­ national wickedness, stupidity and folly.” He believes that ma­ chines make jobs, rather than destroy them, and that the only way out is straight ahead. Every once in a while he para­ chutes down-from the stratosphere companionship ;of/Einstein, Planck, Heiseriberg et al, to bring a message to the. market place—always hope­ ful, and usually a roundhouse swing at the demagogues and meddlers who cramp the scientists’ style. He leaves wide open a zone of Di­ vine intervention if anything goeSr wrong in the laboratories; A Nobel prize winner, chairman- of the executive council of the Cali­ fornia Institute of Technology, Dr. Millikan is an-active liaison between the lay and.'scientific worlds, assur­ ing both that everything will come out all right. Garnering many med­ als and prizes, enjoying world fame, he would have a lot to lose in a world crack-up. But his optimism is doubtless no mere “wishful think­ ing.” BeJeased by Consolidated News Features, WNU Service. I Little known to most people but highly important to the industry is Chicago’s School of Baking, sponsored by the American Institute of Baking.

Of course, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. rather startled the general public with his selection of a bride; the charming Mrs. Mary Hartford was what would be called, in racing circles, a dark horse. When Kate Smith celebrated her ninth anniversary as a radio star she sang the 'four songs that she presented on her initial broadcast: “I Surrender, Dear,” “By the River St. Marie,” “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” and “Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone.” When making up her program for her first broadcast she put in that last num­ ber because she felt none too sure Uiat she’d be a success on the air.

Bight: Jean Troutman, 12, explains the situation on the blackboard.' KATE SMITH Too bad a fortune teller couldn’t have told her that she would lead the popularity polls for years as the possessor of the best voice in her field. The next time that you hear your favorite screen heroine let out a piercing scream, the chances are that it will be Sarah Schwartz who actually does the screaming. She is Hollywood’s prize scream­ er, capable of curdling any audi­ ence’s blood when she really puts her mind on it. The other day Director James Whale was making a scene in “The Man in the Iron Mask” in which Louis Hayward, as King Louis XIV, was about to be attacked by assas­ sins as he rode along in his coach. A good screamer was needed, so Sarah Schwartz was sent for, joined the milling throngs, and screamed her head off when Director Whale gave the signal. She’s been doing that sort of thing for years, and works pretty regularly—earns more, in fact, than many a would-be singer who tries to make musical sounds. It looks as if Bette Davis would be receiving another “Oscar” when the Motion Picture Academy Awards are handed out for this year. “Dark Victory” is the pic­ ture in which she turned in such a grand performance that even the people who never liked her work be­ fore are now dancing in the streets and telling all their friends about it. Felix Knight, the young tenor who has climbed so far and so fast as a radio star, is so enthusiastic about his vocal teacher that he has estab­ lished two scholarships, enabling two young singers to work for a year with Mebane Beasely. “He took me,” says Knight, “with almost no voice to speak of and shortly increased my range more than an octave.” So now, each year, two more young singers will have the opportunities that Knight had. If you listen to Jack Benny’s Sun­ day night programs you’re acquaint­ ed with “Rochester,” his Negro servant. You can see him in “Gone With the Wind,” as “Uncle Peter”; you probably saw him in “Jezebel” and “In Old Kentucky." His name is Eddie Anderson. . — ®—You’ve seen Bill Robinson, the great tap dancer, in pictures with Shirley Temple, of course. But did you know that they are good friends, and that he telephones her several times a week, no matter where he may -be. He called "her from New York recently, just before he went on the air—he talked to her mother, and . asked if Shirley might be al­ lowed to stay up late enough to hear his performance. Let’s hope that she did; it was a good one. 0 . Pattern No. 1957 Capture spring with this nar­ cissus chair set. It will freshen up your chairs.

By E. R, GROSS The rubber tire constitutes one more step in the progress of farm machinery. It costs about the same to operate a tractor at part load as at full load, and tractors on rubber tires work faster, more economical­ ly and last longer than they do on steel, it has been determined by tests at Rutgers university. Farm machinery and wagons also have lighter draft on rubber. TTte rubber tire increases the effective­ ness of the machine and the opera­ tor by making it possible to do more work in less time and with less wear and tear. The farmer is interested in trac­ tor use because it is cheaper to feed a tractor during the time of opera­ tion than to feed horses all the time. This is one of the reasons why trac­ tors have superseded horses to so great an extent. Other reasons in­ clude: The tractor conserves man time; it does not need to rest at night; it can work in extreme sum­ mer heat; it reduces farm chores; it requires little attention when not wording. These things the farmer recognized and appreciated as soon as he learned that he could place dependence in the tractor. The tractor is being improved steadily. Additional operating speeds and rubber tires are among the important improvements made so far. The tractor will travel fast­ er with less slippage and will pull more with less fuel on rubber tires than on steel rims with lugs. This is a general statement but condi­ tions vary so much for different jobs that one cannot reduce it to an exact per cent of extra power and fuel or time saved. Rubber tires are also being used on other farm machines and wag­ ons. They reduce draft and make it possible to pull heavier loads with the same power. The rubber tire has opened new possibilities of trac­ tor loading, using the right size ma­ chine, combinations of machines and selecting proper operating speeds. The greater use of high gear for field operations and for hauling on the road is now recog­ nized. So, with rubber-tired trac­ tors, farm machines and wagons, the farmer can work faster, save time and fuel and, at the same time, reduce the jolting and strain on equipment generally increasing its life. American ONts Output Exceeds Other Nations The United States’ oats crop, like our com crop, far outranks that of any other nation in the world. Ac­ cording to reports of the United States department of agriculture the American oats crop for 1937 totaled 1.146.258.000 bushels. This was 38.56 per cent of the world total of 4,429,- 0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bushels. In the drouth year of 1936 the United States produced 785,506,000 bushels, or 19.4 per cent of the world crop of 4,043,000,000 bushels. In the preceding year domestic pro­ duction reached 1,194,902,000 bush­ els, or 39.4 per cent of the world crop of 4,715,000,000 bushels. Other leading oats producing coun­ tries in 1937 were Germany, with 404.304.000 bushels; France, 313,987,- 000 bushels; Canada, 291,622,000; Po­ land, 166,034,000; United Kingdom, 165.000.000; Czechoslovakia, 94,545,- 000; Sweden, 86,475.000; Argentina, 48.915.000, and Finland, 46,159,000. Accurate figures on the Russian oats crop are not available but it is generally considered to be among the largest. In bushels produced the oats crop ranked second to corn, which totaled 5.050.000.000 bushels. The other prin­ cipal crops were wheat, barley, and rye in that order. Hard Corns on Fowls Hard corns may be seen upon the feet of many old fowls without ap­ pearing to cause the bird any in­ convenience. When abscesses form through infection, however, the con­ dition may be more serious. The commonly advised curative meas­ ure, says the Rural New-Yorker, is to open the abscess freely, flush out the cavity with some simple dis­ infectant, -and place the affected bird upon soft, clean litter. Joint abscesses may be caused by tuber­ cular infection of the joint, when no treatment 3 indicated except to get rid of the possible carrier of the infection to healthy fowls. Print Silk Frocks Go Definitely Pretty-Pretty By CHERIE NICHOLAS he PREDICATED to pretti ness, to womanly charm, to romance, to the poetry of life are the fash­ ions that hold forth this season. It would almost seem as il the new hats and gowns had entered in­ to a conspiracy to see how adorable they can make woman­ kind look in distractingly lovely frills and furbelows, in fashion whim­ sies (hat beguile, in colors radiant and gay together with all the vain­ glorious IitUe details that bring to full bloom the endearing charms of the wearer. Fashions this spring and for sum­ mer are of the pretty-pretty sort that men delight in seeing their ladies wear. The provocative col­ orings, the daintiness of frail ruf­ fles and immaculate touches that flutter about throat and wrist, the flattery and mystery of whimsical veils that half conceal, half reveal the witchery of her eyes, the glamor of her jewels and amusing costume gadgets, the loveliness of the flowers she wears—beaux and bachelors be­ ware, there’s danger in them there trends of fashion! If there is one costume more than another that is essential to the “pic­ ture” this season it is the gown of winsome, ever-flattering silk print to which a hat that rates high in glamor plays dramatic accompani­ ment. See a trio of just such por­ trayed in the illustration. They stand for all that is utterly feminine and charm-full in the current fash­ ion scene. , Paris says “horizontals” as shown to the right in the pretty-pretty printed silk sheer featuring bands of realistically colored flowers, full­ blown roses to be explicit, that con­ trast a dark ground alternating with narrower bands in light monotone. The full skirt, topped with a two- tone grosgrain that ties in a bow, is attuned to slim lines by means of full length side pleats. The horse­ hair disk that serves as a most fetching and youthful hat is held in place by velvet ribbon, with flowers clustered over the hair, altogether a picture that bespeaks the very es­ sence of youth and beauty in fashion. Color arid charm from a Victorian flower garden are recaptured in the purple and green silk print that fashions the dress centered in the picture. Shirred detail gives a soft­ ly flattering line to the bodice and sunburst pleating in the skirt. The two-tone grosgrain girdle is accent­ ed by a nosegay of flowers repeat­ ing the theme of the silk print. Speaking of millinery that has gone sweetly feminine, take a look at the demure velvet-tied bonnet which the young modern to the left in the group is wearing. You can tell at a glance that this quaint model is inspired by the lines of the bonnets of Civil war days. Which goes to show that old fashions are repeating in new fashions this sea­ son, which is really a striking char­ acteristic of trends running through­ out the entire gamut of present modes. As to the charming dress she wears it is made of a "sani­ tized” silk print as are also each of the other frocks shown, this being a new process that deodorizes and keeps your materials antiseptic (germ free and germ repellent). The print glorifies a fuchsia color theme. Pleating at the top of the sleeves is released to puff the shoul­ ders and the skirt is cut with a be­ coming swing flare. The printed silks fashionable for evening wear are simply gorgeous, the wallpaper-design flower motifs are in some instances almost over­ whelmingly enormous, achieving an effect of imposing elegance. Another important trend is toward rustling plaid taffeta for formal party frocks.@ Western Newspaper Union. Amusing Variety In Lapel Gadgets The new collections of lapel jewelry include amusing themes as well as flower effects that are real­ ly beautiful. In the former cate­ gory one cites bees, birds, animals, butterflies, grotesque figurettes and gadgets many of which trace their ancestry to characters that appear in Alice in Wonderland stories. The new flower sprays done in jewels in porcelain and various com­ positions are veritable works of art. These are really conspicuously beautiful and elaborate, created as they are of colorful sparkling jewels to represent flowers of every de­ scription. A jewel flower piece will prove a joy the entire season through as it “dresses up” a cos­ tume at a moment’s notice. Farm Population Farms continue to be the chief sources of increased population in the United States. More titan 719,000 babies were born on farms during 1937, and 341,000 of the farm popu­ lation died. -This leaves a net in­ crease of 378,000 persons. In addi­ tion to this number, 288,000 more people moved from farms to town than those that moved in the other direction. The net increase in farm population in 1937 was, therefore, 90,000 persons. Rick-Rack Is Used _ To Trim Organdy If you are working with organdy try trimming it with rick-rack braid. You’ll be delighted with results. White on white is lovely. Colored rick-rack on doque printed organdy is effective also. Dark linen day­ time frocks are given color-dash via rick-rack that is used in -several hues, such as for instance a border effect of red, yellow, green, blue and white braid sewed together, trim­ ming a navy linen. With-NavyGreen With navy green an important fac­ tor in the spring picture, several in­ teresting new color combinations WiH be possible. Hand Crocheted s ' * x I ^ Just right for the pig-tail crowd— this cunning suspender skirt, hand- crocheted in sturdy pearl cotton. Fashion-right in every detail, it has such a grown-up air any little girl win be thrflled with it. It is that practical mother wiU be .more than repaid for the time and effort given to crocheting it. In fact, it will prove a real joy and blessing in your child’s wardrobe—washes out In a jiffy as spic and span ad new and no ironing required, is stylish as can be, and with a fresh blouse each day turns little daughter out smart and as immaculate looking as if she had just “stepped out from a band­ box.” IM PRO V ED *J U N IFO R M IN T E R N A T IO N A L S UNDAY ICHOOL L»esson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D.- D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 21 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. BEVERAGE ALCOHOL AND THE HOME LESSON TEXT—Jeremiah 35:9*10; Ephe* sians 5:15*21; 6:1-4.GOLDEN TEXT—Do not drink wine, nor strong'drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee,— Leviticus 10:9.. A home is more than a house, and yet people live as though it were not true. They build attractive houses, fill them with comfortable furnish­ ings, and think they have a home, no matter how they may live. God is forgotten, pleasure becomes the chief object in life, and money is desired because it buys pleasure. Intoxicants are freely used both out­ side and inside the home, apparent­ ly with no thought of their-destruc­ tive influence. Alcohol burned in a stove produces heat, in an engine it produces pow­ er, in a man it produces disgrace and disease, and in the home it pro­ duces sorrow, suffering, and ulti­ mately destruction. Why should the decent and intelligent people of America supinely submit to the dev­ astation of this juggernaut, the liq­ uor traffic? What are you doing about it? The lesson for today presents three factors which make for happi­ ness in the home. I. Loyalty to Family Standards (Jer. 35:5-10). When the traditional standards of a family are good and right in the sight of God, they afford a worthy rallying point for the younger gen­ eration. The Rechabites were obe­ dient to the instructions of their forefathers. The prophet had sub­ jected them to a test (not a tempta­ tion, for he did not expect them to fall) in the presence of the Jews and in the great city of Jerusalem. They were surrounded by the unac­ customed luxury and temptations of the city, and now the prophet tries them further by saying, “Drink ye wine.” But they were not afraid to be thought old-fashioned or queer, for they knew that the customs of their fathers were good (see Jer. 6:16), and they stood by them. To depend on that which is good and noble in the past of our people or family, is a sign neither of weak­ ness nor ignorance, but rather of wisdom and. strength. What kind of family standards will your boy and mine look back to? What of the lit­ tle baby who lay in his buggy while the young mother helped her hus­ band pick out the bottle of whisky in the store window which he then went in and bought? When I see such things my heart bums within me against this wicked business which destroys all of the finest In men and in their homes. n . Accuracy in Daily Living (Eph. 5:15-21). “The Greek word ^ndered ‘cir­ cumspectly’ (v. 15) may be more closely and simply rendered ‘accu­rately.’ The thought given is that of painstaking attention to details, un­ der a sense of their importance; a remembrance not only in general but in particular of the duties of the Christian’s walk” (Moule). Every phrase in this section of our lesson is overflowing with meaning but we cannot here refer to them all. Note the temperance applica­ tion. The man who walks accurate­ ly wifl be “wise” (v. 15) and wiU “be fiUed with the Spirit” (v. 18). The inaccurate walker is a “fool” (v. 15), and one of his follies may be in being “drunk with wine” (v. 18). But there is far more in this passage. Spirit-fifled people know the will of God and therefore re­ deem the time. They cultivate that deUghtful spiritual exercise of home reUgion known as hymn .singing. Have you tried that lately? Gather the family or friends around the or­ gan or piano. Turn off the ever­ present radio for a few minutes. Open the old hymn book and sing. Don’t overlook thankfulness in verse 2 0, and then try that golden recipe. 'III. Unity ’ In the Home (Eph. 6:1-4). A united family is obviously im­ possible where one member or more gives his time and money and very life to booze. You know and I know that it just does not work. Think of the havoc thus wrought not only in the lives of the parents, but particularly in the lives and char­ acters of the children. Let Christ reign in the home and there wiU be unity. ChUdren wiU realize that it is right to obey their godly parents. They will honor and cherish father and mother, and God wiU reward them for it (w . 2,' 3; also Exod. 20:12). But what is more, fathers wiU be wise enough not to provoke their children to wrath.. Much of the trouble in our homes is caused by disobedient children, but sometimes I think even more of it is caused by unwise parents. The children need nurture and admoni­ tion, but that can be done in kind­ ness apd with constructive results if we seek the Lord’s help. Father, mother, let me plead with you that you permit no interest in business, social life, or even church work to come between you and your fellow­ ship with your children. That is your biggest job and your greatest op­ portunity. ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS By Elmo Scott Watson M ‘Old Put’ OST Americans think of Israel Putnam as .the New Elngland hero of two thrilling escapes. One was during the French and Indian war when a providential rainstorm put out the fire which the savages had kindled to torture him. The other was during the Revolution when he avoided capture by the British by riding his horse at break­ neck speed down a long flight of stone steps. But these were only a few of “Old Put’s” adventures. During his busy life he saw ac­ tion on many fronts—from Montreal in the north to Havana in the south and from Boston in the east to De­ troit in the west. They began in 1755 when he served under Sir WU- Uam Johnson against the French; they continued when he enrolled in Rogers’ Rangers in 1758, was cap­ tured by the Indians, sent to Canada as a prisoner and freed by exchange the next year, ~ Then he accompanied a British naval expedition against France’s aUies, the Spanish, in Cuba, where he was in the thick of the fight when the English stormed Morro Castle. He had hardly returned home when Pontiac’s war broke out in 1763 and he accompanied Colonel Bradstreet on the expedition to raise the Indian siege of Detroit. In 1772 he. was a member of the Company of MiUtary Adventurers who visited the Lower Mississippi and West Florida to look over lands promised' the Colonials who' had served in the French and Indian war. Nothing came of this so Put­ nam returned home in time to be­ come one of the heroes of the Battle of Bunker Hill.* * * Navajo Bill T 1HE Navajoes were holding a fire f dance. White men were not wel­ come at this important ceremonial so there were hostile mutterings among the young braves when they saw a “pale-face” looking on. Sud­ denly a young buck, his face dis­ torted with a frenzy of hate, dashed out of the circle of dancers and, brandishing a long knife, bounded toward the white man. But before he had time to strike, a lariat shot out from a group of Indians near by, settled over the young brave’s shoulders and jerked him to the ground where he was soon trussed up so tight that he could not move. The lariat had been thrown by the great chief, ManueU- to, and he had thus saved the life of his good, friend, Dr. W. N. Wallace, otherwise known as “Navajo BiU.” WaUace served in an Indiana reg­ iment in the Civfl war, then went west. He landed in Portland, Ore., where he became a doctor and prac­ ticed his profession until tubercu­ losis forced him to go to Arizona. There he became acquainted with the' Navajoes. One day a Uttie Indian girl feU into a campfire and was badly burned. The skfll of the “white medicine man” saved her from be­ coming a cripple and from that time on his ^position among the Navajoes was secure. They adopted him into the tribe, gave him a Navajo name and he became a close friend of the great Manuelito. It'was that friend­ ship which saved his life at the fire dance.• * • The Mad Poet T W O months before McDonald Clarke died he wrote this auto­ biography: "Begotten among the or­ ange groves, on the wild mountains of Jamaica, West Indies. Bora in Bath on the Kennebec River, State of Maine, 18th. June, 1798.1st. Love, Mary H. of New London; last Love, Mary G. of New York; intermediate sweethearts without number. No great compliment to the greatest Poet in America—should like the change tho’; had to pawn my Dia­ mond Ring (the gift of a lady) and go tick at Delmonico’s for Dinner. So much for the greatest Poet of America.” .If that sounds a bit “goofy” to you, it’s no more so than much of the poetry he wrote. That’s why he was caUed “The Mad Poet.” At the beginning of the Nineteenth century he was “constantly seen on Broad­ way, his blue coat and mflitary bearings enhanced by his marked profile, making him a conspicuous and striking figure. It was his hob­ by to faU in line with aU the beUes of the city and to commemorate their beauties and worth in verse. However weU-meant these effusions on the part of the poet they were annoying. His poems helped to sup­ port him, but the number of edi­ tions and present scarcity show that he must have eked out the revenue necessary to supply his humble Wants, by subscriptions or the char­ ity of publishers and friends.” From 1820-to 1841 he issued eight books of poems. Then the “Mad Poet’s” adventure in Uving came to a tragic close on March 5, 1842. A policeman found him on the street in a destitute and apparently de­ mented condition and took him to jafl for safekeeping. The next morn­ ing he was found drowned by wa­ ter from an open faucet!

The Judge’s Story. “In the early part of February the court was called to Raleigh and elected to go by bus. It was an exceedingly wet day. Getting on the bus at Greensboro, we- went under the underpass 10 minutes late—under the Southern Railway underpass—at 45 miles an liour. By the time we had reached the Negro ,college out here, the A., and T , I believe it is, we were making 60. We passed the county home at 70. “On four oc-asions before we reached Raleigh the bus driver had operated his bus at a speed in excess of 70 miles an hour. His usual driving speed -was in excess of .60. I elected to sit down immedi­ ately behind the driver, did so wilfully, deliberately. “I occasionally observed his speedometer with snch deference as I deemed proper to not to make myself noticeable.. Going out of Hillsboro we passed a highway patrolman at 68 miles an hour with it raining so hard I could not see clearly 75 feet ahead of me. . . . "Starting out of Durham we over­ took the same patrolman. We passed him at 74 miles an bonr at that time, again during a heavy rain. I remarked to the driver of the bus tl:at it might be a little risky passing the patrolman at such speed, ta s answer was, ‘Oh they don’t bother us.’ “I do not believe that. I have too much respect for the intelligence of the patrolmen. . . . I think that officer erred in not slopping that bus driver then, and if necessary putting him in jail. . . .” This was the story told the Guil­ ford county grand jury this week week bv Judge H. Hoyle Sink, of the North Carolina superior couit. Jndge Sink was appealing to the grand jurors to take cognizance of flagrant traffic law violations which contribute so heavily to the accid­ ent death toll in this state—a toll, by the way, which has been aug­ mented by several deaths on the roads in this immediate section within the past few days. We cannot ' help wondering whether the bus driver in-the story would have driven as he did bad he known that a superior Couitr judge was sitting immediately be­ hind him and watching his speedo­ meter. But another'figure was al so at the c river’s elbow. This figure sits behind every reckless driver. Sometimes it takes the wheel. Its name is—Death.—Twin- City Sentinel. Europe’s Boundry Lines. (By Senator Arthur- Capper, of Kansas ) Trying to settle those boundary lines is no job for the UnitedStates of America. ■ It would be an impossible task for the United States to settle the boundary lines, of European countries, even if that were advis­ able. I know there are those in the United Stateswhoareobsessed with the idea that we have-a rendezvous with desting to attempt some such fantasic feat—bnt I believe most Americans realize that such ambi­ tions are just delusions of grandeur. Let us look at the matter from the other angle. Do we want the. nations of Europe coming over here and trying to fix the boundary lines of nations either iti North America or South America? Emphatically, we do not. We have a Monroe Doctrine directed against any such proceed­ ing. About the only exercise some folks is lumping at conclusions. 'Even a tombstone says something good of a fellow when he is dowfi Land posters at tkia office. Looking Behind The Scehes. There is abundant evidence that the people of North Carolina are becoming tax conscious in a greater sense than merely howliug about the figures that appear on the tax receipt and yelping at the bmden that is bending the backs of high and low alike. They are taking a look behind the scenes, examining taxes more meticulously to see what makes them click so monoto­ nously. The National Consumers Tax Commission is organizing units in almost every county in the. State, i iviting the women of North Caro­ lina to join those of the nation in study “hidden taxes” that add $1.95 !0 their $5.09 hats; *$1.56 to their $4 00 shoes; around $10 to their $50 rent and other amazing disclosures. It is reasonable to suppose that when'they are intelli­ gently informed about the' source of the tax dollar, their interest will readily turn to how it is spent. Mecklenbutg has its Public Weal organization whose goal is the saving of the taxpayers’ money and increasing * government efficiency. In other words it is engaged in getting the mass of citizens to take an interest id the government; This examination and study, too, is in concert with a national movement dedicated to these objectives. And then there is Paul Leonard’s Fa’r Tax Association that bas been fighting lia-d-fistedIy for tax -re­ form in Noitli Carolina. Un­ fortunately the impression was gained that the sole purpose of this organixaiion was to put the skids under the sales tax, - when as a matter.'of fact that has been only one of many tax inequities that bas been assailed in the interest of the taxpayer. It Mr. Leonard's efforts have been less fruitful than he had a right to expect, probably it is be­ cause a frontal attack necessarily had to be made without the educ ational groundwork that requires patience and time. The efforts of these organizations when coordinated will at least give many of us a new conception of what is going on behind the scenes, in bidden taxes, and the. spending that makes all taxes necessary. AU three of these apencies have, every appearance of being divorced' from political purpose, and-as-long as they cau be kept that way they will be an influence for good. For after we have studied and examined—1 something is liable to pop —States­ ville Daily. ______ A Railroad Man’s Prayer. The Baptist Messenger of West Virginia giye 3 an' old railroad work* er’s prayer as follows: An old railruad worker was con­ verted, and being present at a meet* ing, he was asked to lead in prayer. He hesitated a moment, and then with trembling lips, bnt clear re-, sounding voice, he said reverently: -4Oh Lord, now that- I have flag­ ged Thee, lift up my feet from the rough road of life and plant them safely on the deck of' the'train of salvation. Let me use the safety lamp known as prudence; let my hand lamp be the Bible; make.allthe couplings in the train and, Heavenly Father, keep all the switches closed that lead off into the sidings, espe­ cially those with a blind end. Oh Lord, if it'be Thy pleasure, have every semaphore block along the line. Show tb.e white light of hope, that I may-make the run of lifewith- ont^^ppii^i^andLord, givens the TenCommandments for a schedule, time, pulled into' the great station of death.-may Thou. the Superintend­ ent of the Universe say,' Well done, thou good'and faithful servant, come and sign the'payroll and receive your check for eternal happiness.’; Amen.” Unkappy Without It. A recent issuie of the Time maga­ zine carried this significant state­ ment In an article on agriculture: - “To a philosopher from the moon most fantastic sight in the U. S. last week would have been that of thousands of cultivator;, black and white, trudging patiently out into the fields to plant another cotton crop. For if there was anything the U S. apparently did not need, that thing was more cotton. Hang­ ing over the market was an enor­ mous carryover of 13,000,000 bales, twice as much as the U. S. would use in a busy year. The major pait of this hoard—11,250,000 bales —lies in warehouses in the South, assigned to the Government for “ loans” in hock to the U. S. tax­ payer, who is paying $123,000 a day to keep it in out of the rain. If it were shared equal’y, every man, woman and child in the U. -S. would have to go to the warehouses and carry away 43 pounds of cot- ton on his back.” That is assuming, or course that the “philosopher from the moon” would be looking at the matter strictly from a business standpoint and employing the checks and bal­ ances that are supposed to chart business along a safe and 'sane course. South Yadkin Surveyed. D. H. Hendricks State- ' ment.Several members of the United States Engineer Department from the Charleston division, have been working up the South Yadkin River by Cooleemee for the past several days. They are running a survey for the government of this water-way Jto determine the average depth and width of the stream, also the vo­ lume of water for normat seasons. This information will be worked out after completion of the survey and all facts as well as maps will be p'aced on file .for future refer ence in the engineer depattment. . Surveyors for the North Caro­ lina State Highway Commission finished this week a survey of the D. H. Hendricks, Independent candidate for mayor in the local municipal election'on May 2, issues the following statement: “ Well, the election is over and all is quite against and great things have happened. I succeeded in waking up a great host of sleepers who have been slumbering for years. It reminds me of a s'o y I beard of 50 ladies who had gathered at a sociable and a man came in and said he bad a surprise for them.

We dearly love to plant cotton all spring, hoe it all summer and pick it all winter. Surplus and world markets are something for others to worry about, because politic’ans are always willing to extend favoi.s that will gain a bloc of votes. It is. somewhat of a sport, like base ball, and win or lose, next year the team takes to the field again. True, the;e are indications that we are getting away from that. Forward looking farmers are doing a- little figuring on their own hook, but land-owners almo:t have to choke tenanis off cotton because tenants are not always interested in. soil building and conservation, and they have not yet caught-the signi­ ficance of cattle-raising, nor has a program been perfected that will assure them an income frome from dairying or.any of the many other activies to which they could turn. Maybe we don’t need any more cotton right now. maybe we' could will of necessity be high and long. From Cooleemee to Wood'eaf the route will be practica’ly straight and.eliminating several.sharp c u f ves. ■ The surveyors have forward ed their information and data t.i Raleigh and just when further a - tion m -y be taken on this matter is not known at present, however all those who find it he es a-y to travel this road hope that imme­ diate action .ihall be tiken.

THREE SHUTTERED HOUSES tv IEN AMES WIIUAMS CcpyrtaM-WNlI SBlVICt THE STOBT SO FAB Driving home through a torrential rain, young, well-to-do Clint Jervlea picks up a girl, scantily clad, running In terrcr-strlcken flight down the road. She rides a short ways, leaves . Uie .car and runs into the woods. He decides ,to talk to his dear Arlends,. Inspector Tope'and Mlss Moss, ahotit his adventure, dint still thinks other as Mlss Moss, his former ,guardian, though she and the Inspector are married. Clint, having Mettled down, now manages the Jervles estate himself, In three shuttered houses, an gloomy and forbidding, on Kenesaw Hill, near where CUnt picked up the frightened girl, lived three families, In one house Uved old Denman Hurder, his wife, who bad been EUa Kenesaw. and his daughter. Kitty Leaford, and her daughter June. Livlngina second house was Aunt Evle Taine, Cnde Justus and brothers Rab and Asa. !he third held old Matthew Bowdon and his wife. Living on the estate was a man known only to June as "Uncle Jim.” Fallowing their usual custom the three families gathered In the Hurder home Saturday night Kitty, June's mother, retired early with a headache. She was given warm milk, and Insisted on taking two sleeping tablets, one more than usual. Strangely upset, June slept fitfully, and In the middle of the night went In to see her mother. She finds her dead. Panic stricken. June ran from the room, out the unlocked door, and Into the storm to get Doctor Cabler. It was here that CUnt Jervies picked her up. Clint tells his story to the Inspector and Mrs. Tope. They communicate with the police, who are told by the family doctor that Kitty Leaford died of an overdose of sleeping powders. Clint and the Inspector are not satisfied and feel further Investigation Is necessary. When Clint and Tope drive back to Kenesaw HiU they find Inspector Heale and the medical examiner, who also reports the death due to an overdose of the powders. He becomes angry when Tope Intimates that queer circumstances surround the death. After returning home June ran to see Uncle Jim and told him of her mother's death. There Clint and the Inspector visit them. CHAPTER VI—Continued Glovere explained then, watching these newcomers: “I don’t know anything about—last night. Miss Leatord had just told me that her mother was dead." His eyes flick­ ered from one ot them to the other; and when no one spoke, he said in a sort of swift passion: “Some one tell me what has happened. Why did you come here?” “They said Miss Leaford might be here,” Clint answered. “I was driving past, last night, overtook her on the road. She was running, through all that rain. I gave her a lift as far as Doctor Cabler’s house.” June was afraid he would say more than this; she hurried to ex­ plain: “You see, Uncle Jim, Mother hat­ ed thunder and lightning. So when the storm came near, I went in to see if she was all right. And when I saw her, I knew she was—dead. But I lost my head, I guess. Calling the Doctor was the only thing I could think of.” “What happened?” Uncle Jim in­ sisted. “She took too many sleeping-tab- lets,” June told him, in a low tone. “You know, she was sick from do- ing that, once before.” Her face sud­ denly was stony calm. “I gave them to her,” she whispered. “I gave them to her, and she died. Clint caught her hand. “Now lis­ ten,” he protested. “You—” Her head leaned back against the cabin wall. “She insisted on taking two,” the girl said. “I couldn’t per­ suade her not to. I was afraid.” She whispered: “Oh, I wish I’d spilled them all!” And then she ex­ plained: “You see, she couldn’t get to sleep, so she got up and went to the bathroom and took the rest of them.” Tope asked thoughtfully: “You spilled some of them, you say?” “While I was getting one for her,” June answered. “I set the bottle down on the basin, and it fell and tipped over. They spilled out, and there was water in the basin, a lit­ tle. The tablets in the water dis­ solved. There weren’t but three left in the bottle. And I took one of them to her, one besides the one already had. Then she must have heard the thunder coming, and she was afraid of lightning. So she got up and took the other two. Oh, I wish I’d spilled them all.” “How do you know all this?” Un­ d e Jim asked. There was a rasp in -his tones; something challenging and angry. “How does anyone Imow what she did?” “Why, the other tablets i gone,” said June. “Bottle empty?” Uncle Jim in­ sisted. The girl hesitated. “I don’t know,” she said. “We didn’t find the bottle. It’s probably under the bed, or in the bed or something. We didn’t look there. She was there.” Her tone wavered, Cfint held her hand hard. He said: “Now you forget it, Miss Leaford! Don’t worry. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” “I wasn’t afraid—of you,” she confessed, and saw the leap of pleasure in his eyes, and was happy that she had pleased him. But sud­ denly she was uneasy; she had stayed too long. “I must go back,” she said. Clint rose. ‘T il go with you.” - “Will you?” she asked gratefully. They went past the others. “Miss Leaford is going home,” Clint ex­ plained. “I'll come back here.” They came within sight of the houses; and Clint paused. “I won’t go in,” he said. “Re­ member, though. I’m coming again. Soon.” He caught her hand and held it. Incredibly, he kissed her hand, the backs of her fingers. She saw his eyes shine. “Good-by,” he said. She loosed her hand and went on alone, and she held one hand over the other, to protect and treasure the spot his lips had touched. : .She went on toward the house. When she had gone in, Asa came alter her, Quietly, out of the wood. CHAPTER VII It was to be Miss Moss who per­ ceived beyond dispute that IQtty Leaford had been murdered. She had stayed behind, in the car, when the garage man Thayer, in response to Tope’s inquiry went to point out the path that led to Jim Glovere’s cabin. Thayer returned, and a girl came out of the office of the garage to join him. Thayer called her Lis- sa; she was, Miss Moss perceived, his daughter; and Miss MoSs had some casual talk with them. After a time she saw Lissa’s eyes suddenly fix on something toward the house, in an expression of con­ cern; and Miss Moss looked that way to see a man moving secretly among the trees. Then Ussa with­ out a word went toward the house and disappeared indoors. She did “Not much chance,” be said.' not reappear, but neither did the secret man. Miss Moss thought she would know his form again. She fell to talking with Thayer, and when by and by the Inspector and Clint returned, she thought her time here had not been misspent. Clint said eagerly: “I’ve seen her. Talked with her. She’s a wonder!” Miss Moss said: “Is she, Clint? That’s fine.” But die looked ex­ pectantly at the older man. Inspector Tope without a word got into the car, and CIint took die wheel. They started back toward Boston. '‘Accident?” Miss Moss asked presently. Tope answered in an abstracted tone: "Doctor Derrie says so! He will call it accident, yes.” He sighed, as though he were tired. "The trouble with me,” he con­ fessed, “I’m a meddling tool.” ‘What is it?” she asked. “What disturbs you?” He wagged bis head doubtfully. “I don’t know,” he admitted. “Here’s a woman dead, and as far as you can i, there’s no mysteiy about it. But there are a lot of little things, strange, unusual—” Miss Moss asked: “What are they? That Miss Leaford should run for a doctor, without stopping to dress, for instance?” The old man made a gesture as though to brush away an annoying swarm of mosquitoes. “Why, that, yes,” he agreed. “Then the tele­ phone was out of order, and the elec­ tric light went out at the wrong time, and the front door of the house blew open in spite of the fact it was always bolted at night. And then this man that lives up here in the wbods—” Miss Moss broke in with a ques­ tion: “What is he like? What did you think of him?” “He’s .a strong man,” answered Tope, “doing nothing. Idves up there alone, writes poetry for fun, tramps around the woods, and looks at Miss Leaford as though she meant a lot to him. He told me that now that her mother is dead, he had a mind to take June away from here.” Clint cried angrily: “He did? That —tramp! I’ll—” Miss Moss asked acutely: “If he's so fond of Miss Leaford, what does he think of the rest of the Kenesaw connection?" Tope chuckled. “He talked quite a lot about them,” he admitted. “Heseefned 'to know-them pretty well, know a lot about them. He says old Mrs. Bowdon and her daughter, Mrs. Taine, have things their own way up there. He said they were like people living in the valley below a big dam. Bowdon is a wealthy man, and Hurder too; and their money is like the water behind the dam, waiting to flow doifrn the valley when they die, flow into new channels. The others all sit there waiting for the dam to break, with their buckets ready to catch' the overflow, afraid they’ll let a few drops get away." Miss MoSs said softly: “That’s why they’re afraid!” Tope looked at her in quick atten­ tion. "Eh?” he exclaimed. “Why should they be afraid? After all, the money can’t get out of the fam­ ily.” “Having things makes people afraid,” she reminded him. “A man with nothing to lose has nothing to fear.” Tope shook his head. "I don’t know,” he demurred. “It’s mighty easy to be afraid . . . Thefe’s one other thing—probably no connection. But when Clint and I were on our way in to Glovere’s cabin, we saw a man in the woods. He was com­ ing down the path toward us; but he spotted us, about as soon as we saw him, a hundred yards away or so. And he ducked to one side, out of the way, and kept out of sight while we went by.” “Why didn’t you speak to him? “Clint here was in a hurry to go op,” the Inspector chuckled. “I didn’t even see this man, 1 Clint explained. “I think the In­ spector imagined him. He’s seeing things today, anyway.” Miss Moss sat thoughtful for a while; but she said at last, smiling: “He didn't imagine this. I saw your man come out of the woods. The garage proprietor has a daughter. He calls her Lissa. I think that was her young man. She was with me Whenr he came in sight, but-she left me then, and' neither of them re­ appeared.” Tope chuckled. “Trust you to dig up any romance that’s lying around!” he exclaimed. “Don’t know who it was, do you?” “No, but I know Lissa Thayer was troubled by his coining,” Miss Moss declared. “That was plain, in her eyes.” And she asked:. "This Mr. Glovere—how old did you think he was?" The Inspector watched her. “For­ ty-five and up,” he said. - “Maybe ten years more.” “Old enough to be Miss Leaford’s father,” . Miss Moss reflected. And she added, still smiling: “You see, I begin to wonder about things too, Inspector. I’ve caught the . habit from you.” She ceased to smile. “I’m wondering now,” she said gravely, “how many of these tab­ lets it would take, to kill a person so quickly." The Inspector looked at Miss Moss with a sort of wonder. He said at last: “Mrs. Tope, you make, me feel like a man on crutches. You can jump farther, and straighter, than Myone I ever saw.” “I was just wondering,” she pro­ tested, her cheek bright with pleas­ ure in his praise. “I think you’ve hit it,” he said. “Derrie missed it, M d'Heale, and so did I. But I think you’ve hit it on the nose, We’ll see.” H e'looked ahead. . "Clint, pull in at the first drug-store,” he said. “I want to tele­ phone.” When he came out to them again, d in t asked quickly: “Did you call Doctor Derrie?” “I called Doc Gero,” Tope ex­ plained. This was the Medical Ex­ aminer with whom the old man had worked..for so many,years., “Doc­ tor Gero thinks that it would need eight or Aen tablets, maybe more to have killed Mrs. Leafoni so soon. He said if one was a dose, and three made her pretty sick, four or five might put her'into a coma so teat she would die in twenty-four hours or so. Specially if she had a weak heart. “But to be dead in three hours, that would need eight or ten tab­ lets, and maybe more.” His tone had the finality of doom. "And there weren’t that many tab­ lets left in the bottle!” he con­ cluded. MisS Moss said in a low tone “I was afraid so. Then it was mur­ der. What will you do?” Tope shook his head. “Why,” he said, “I guess we’U have to go back.” He chuckled in a dry mirth. “It looks like I’d have to annoy young Doc Derrie again.” When they came back to head­ quarters, Heale was there. “Now what is it, Tope?” he asked patiently. ' Tope hesitated; he said then “Here’s the sticker, Heale. Miss Leaford gave her mother two tab­ lets. There were two more left, in the bottle in the bathroom cabinet. And Doctor Derrie figures the dead woman got up and took those two. That’s right, isn’t it?” Heale nodded. “Yes,” he said. “Now then,” Tope explained, “two and two make -four. If Doctor Der- rie’s right, she took four tablets. And two or three hours later she was dead.” “Sure,” Heale, repeated. Tope leaned back in his chair. “Then here’s the rest of it,” he said. “You know Doctor Gero, the Medical Examiner in town?” “Of course.” “Well, Doctor Gero says it would take at least six, and more likely eight or ten tablets to kill this wom­ an dead in three hours.” Inspector Heale looked at Tope, frowning a little, for a long time. He Started' to ' shake ' his -Iiead; 'ttieh abruptly he lifted the telephone be* side him, “Get me Doctor Cabler,” he di­ rected; and presently: “Doctor Ca­ bler? Inspector Heale speaking. I’d like to consult you on this Leaford case. Can you come down? . Thanks.” He returned the receiver to its hook again. “Doctor Cabler will know,” he told them. Tope nodded. “The bottle’s miss­ ing,” he reminded Inspector Heale. “That may have significance or not. Have you been in the house, searched the bedroom?” Heale shook his head. "No ex­ cuse to do that,” he protested. “So far as we knew officially, it was an accident.. I don’t want to antag­ onize those 'people unnecessarily, Tope. You can see that.” “I’d like to look around in there," Tope confessed. “Unofficially. With­ out their knowing.” Inspector Heale grinned. “Not much chance,” he said. Miss Moss spoke for the first time. "When is the funeral?” she in­ quired. “It might be managed then,” In­ spector Heale agreed. “U they all go. Of course, they’ll lock the house. They have no servants. We’ll have to get someone to arrange it so we c m get. in.” “Miss'LeUford will'do'that,” Clint proposed. “I’d rather try Asa Taine," In­ spector Heale decided. “He might be reasonable. I know him better thM I know My of the others.” He lifted the telephone. “I’ll send one of the boys to ask him to come down,” he said. (TO BE CONTINUED) Washington Loved to Ride After Foxes And Attend Cockfights, Diary Reveals John Peel is the hero of the Eng­ lish hunting song, but to AmericM fox hunters George Washington is almost 'a patron saint. ThU fact U brought to light by Samuel J Henry in ' “Foxhunting Is Differ­ ent,” a volume on the sport in Vir­ ginia Md MarylMd, in which Wash­ ington’s- diaries are used as back­ ground for many sketches. "George Washington, mMy-sided man. attended a cockfight Md a vestry 'meeting on the same day,” writes the author. “He would go to church Md enter in his diary the pious duty as performed. But he said not who the preacher was nor'subject of the Sermon. Foxes, hounds Md hunting were matters that loomed large in his philosophy, Md there is detail after detail. "You cannot help loving Washing­ ton when you read his diaries, m unstudied record of day-to-day hap­ penings. The man stands forth alive . Despite the treatment be has received at the hMds ot historians, who have made him m aloof Md detached god to a fellow-lover of sport the VirginiM seems a depart­ ed friend, a human Md responsive character W ithwtom he has spent many happy hours afield; for fox- hunters . . . speak the same lan­ guage. “In the carefree- years of 1768-69- 70, the VirginiM plMted Md reaped, bred horses, experimented with the soil, ingeniously sought to devise a better plow . . . With meticulous detail he tells about each hunt, how long it lasted, whether the quarry was lost, denned or killed, of hounds switching from fox to deer, Md says they once got after a bear.” Washington’s huntsmM was a lie* tie Negro named Billy Lee, a former jockey, who, according to this au­ thority, after his master died, “drank himself to death, , dying «f theD .T .’s.” -Snow Md Bine Geese Unlike Canada geese, the snows seldom fly in V-formation. Adult snow geese have-pure white bodies with black wingtips, with pink or pale purplish bills. Blue geese, about the same size as snows, have white heads Md necks, grayish- brown bodies (not blue as the Jiams indicates), dark red bills Md pur­ plish-red Jogs: The young'-are sooty gray or brown. With Approach of Warm Weather, C. Houston Goudiss Advises Extra Care in Storing Foods in the Home B y C. HOUSTON GOUDISS I T IS the proud distinction of A m erica’s food industries th at notw ithstanding the infinite v ariety of perishable foods w hich a re constantly available, and regardless of the dis­ tances they have been transported, even file m ost delicate foods are delivered to th e consum er in a fresh, w holesom e condition, w ith a ll their fine flavor unim paired. T he secret of this m odem m iracle is refrigeration. V ast sum s of m oney have been invested in long traiils of refriger­ ated cars, thousands upon «s>- ravages th o u s a n d s of re fr ig e r a te d tru c k s , r e f r ig e r a te d w are­ h o u se s a n d r e frig e r a tio n equipm ent in stores. All this has been done- for a single purpose; to keep food fresh and a t its b est until it reaches the hom e. A t.this point'the responsibility shifts to the homemaker. And if she falls down on her job, then all previous efforts to keep food free from spoilage have been in vain. H om em aker’s R esponsibility As guardiM of her family’s health, one of the homemaker’s m o s t importMt tasks is to see to it that all food is safe­ guarded against contamination un­ til it reaches her table.- This means t h a t perishable foods must contin­ ue to be refrigerat­ ed properly in the home. For only in this way cm they be protected from of micro-organisms which are always ready to attack foods when conditions are favora­ ble for their growth. Two essentials are necessary for satisfactory food preservation in the home. First, perishable foods must be stored at a temperature of from 40 to 45 degrefes Fahren­ heit—never at a temperature high­ er thM 50 degrees. Second, the right degree of humidity must be maintained. Too much moisture will encourage the growth of bac­ teria; too little udll dehydrate fruits M d vegetables Md make them unfit for consumption. H om e C are of Foods B oth re q u ire m e n ts a re m e t by a good household re frig e ra to r; M d th e h o m e m a k e r w ho a p p rec i­ a te s th e im p o rtM c e o f keep in g foods sound M d w holesom e w ill re g a rd a n efficient re frig e ra to r a s M in v e stm e n t in good h e a lth . It is esp ecially n ec'essary th a t th e food sup p ly b e p ro p erly re frig e ra t­ ed d u rin g th e w a rm e r w e a th e r of sp rin g a n d su m m e r, in o rd e r to p re v e n t th e co n sum ption of d ish es th a t m a y h a v e b eco m e co n tam i­ n a te d w ith o u t M y m a rk e d a lte ra ­ tio n in a p p e a rM c e , ta s te o r odor. H ighly P erishable Foods Milk is often regarded as the most perishable of ail foods, be­ cause it is M ideal medium for the growth of bacteria. It is , there­fore, essential that this Mlandid food ho kept at low temperatures at all times. It sho u ld be p u t in to the refrigerator as soon as possi­ ble after it is delivered, and kept there until the moment it is to be used. Milk should never be al­ lowed to stand at room tempera­ ture for any length of time. For it has beep demonstrated that when it is held at 40 degrees—ar ideal temperature—before deliv­ ery, then allowed to stend at a room temperature of 79 degrees for an hour Md a half, and again refrigerated, a rapid increase in bacteria occurs. Other types of protein foods also present a favorable medium for bacterial growth when they are held at temperatures higher than 50 degrees. These include meat, fish, meat broths, gelatin, custards M d creamed foods. It is advisa­ ble to keep these foods, as well as the milk supply, in the coldest pari of the refrigerator. F ru its and V egetables Fruits and vegetables soon lose their moisture content unless they are protected against warm, dry air; Md they are likewise subject to the action of micro-orgMisms which result in decay. But when stored in a modern refrigerator, these mineral- Md vitamin-rich foods c m be kept in perfect condi­ tion for considerable periods, thus making it possible to take advan­ tage of favorable market offer­ ings. G uarding A gainst Mold As a rule, warmer weather also increases the problem of combat, ing molds. For given moisture and warmth, molds will grow on almost Mything. However, the most hospitable hosts are acid fruits, such as orMges, lemons, berries or tomatoes; sweets, such as jam s Md jellies; bread Md meat. MihiIe molds are physio­ logically harmless if eaten, they definitely spoil the taste and ap­ pearance of food.Mold growths cm be killed by boiling. They are retarded by the dry circulating air of M efficient refrigerator. It is to allow for air circulation that berries should be stored uncovered—if possible, spread out so that the air cm reach more th M just th e top layer. ; Frequent inspection of all food supplies, including those in the bread box, M d the prompt elimi­ nation of My items showing signs of mold, will help to keep it from spreading. ConstMt vigilMce on the pari of the homemaker in caring for foods on hand will avoid a needless drain on the food budget and win safeguard the health of every member of the family.©—'WNU-C.

PARTON XTEW YORK. — Radio, automo- ' biles, airplanes, moving pic­ tures and virtually ail the other technical ten-strikes of the modern . ,, world came in Dives in Cellar, between th e Brings Vp Our first and second Television Set Chicago world’s fairs. About all that is brand new at the New York World’s fair is television, which took its bow with a telecast at the inaug­ ural ceremonies. Unlike Britain’s garret inven­ tor, John Logie Baird, Allen B. Du Mont, putting his by-line on the new television set, came along through the "channels” in which promising young techni­ cians are grooved these days. Out of Rensselaer Polytechnic institute in 1923, he was em­ ployed as a tube engineer with the. Westinghonse company in Bloomfield, N. J., until 1937, when he became chief engineer of the De Forest Radio compa­ ny. But, when he caught the television germ, he did just what Baird did, the only difference be­ ing that he holed up in a cellar instead of an attic. It was in 1931 that he quit a good job to play a hunch. The hunch was that the cathode ray was the joker in the flickering television deck. So he dived into his base­ ment, built his laboratory and stayed underground until he was ready to come up with a cathode-ray tube which is pretty nearly the works in television. In 1937, Mr. Du Mont rounded up some capital and built a siz­ able two-story laboratory at Montclair, N. J., employing 42 men. By 1938, Paramount pic­ tures had declared itself in in a big way; and, at last accounts, Mr. Du Mont’s enterprise was virtually a subsidiary of this cor­ poration. That is interesting in view of the fact that, in Eng­ land, they already are televising events for the moving picture screen. It is indicated that the Du Mont rig may be subject to the same development. Student Weavers, Dressmakers Stage Fashion Show JOHN R. STEELMAN, the govern- " ment’s special mediator in the Appalachian soft coal dispute, was once a "blanket stiff,” riding the _ , . rods with theEx-Blanket Stitt hoboes to get Boils Down Ottr from Arkansas Labor Disputes to. thJ western wheat fields. There, in the post-war boom days, he earned $9 a day and invested his savings in a Henderson college A. B., a Vanderbilt M. A. and a University of North Carolina Ph. D. Heading the government conciliation service, he smoothed. out' 4,231 labor dis­ putes, involving 1,618,409 workers, in the 1938 fiscal year. He was an Arkansas farm boy, working the southern logging camps. He is tall and dark, and friendly and easy­ going in manner.Released tor Consolidated Mews Features, WNUSetvice. Student spinners, weavers, designers and dressmakers of North Carolina co-operate once a year In pre- senting a cotton style show at the State college in Raleigh. Men students in the college’s textile school, larg­ est'in America, plan the fabrics, select patterns and dyes, comb yarn, make the threads, then weave the fabric on looms. Then the material is delivered to students from nine girls’ schools, who design and manu­ facture all types of garments. The finished product is shown at the State college style show. Left: Yarn as it goes through the comber, one of the first steps. Center: College girls measuring and manufacturing the vari­ ous garments. Right: The completed garment being modeled. Harvard Student Upsets Girls’ Hoop-Rolling Derby p O L .

He will be there when their majesties go to the White House, but he will not be conspicu­ ous He merges with the scenery like a chameleon. He saved Clemenceau’s life during the Paris peace confer­ ence. Guarding Woodrow Wil­ son, he rode in an automobile immediately behind the “Ti­ ger’s” car. He saw an assassin level a gun. Shooting from the hip in a lightning draw, he cracked the killer’s .wrist. He is the one man the President has to obey, an advance man who interviews police, maitres d’hotel, transportation officials and chefs, even editing menus, and,; on occa­ sion, speeches, if they indicate too much of a tax on the President’s receptive energies, ' At 17, he was a deputy sheriff of Hopkinsville, Ky. As a spe­ cial agent for the railroads, he touched off his first national headlines by trapping the “Cali­ fornia Kid,” a desperate ma­ rauder who had long eluded cap­ ture. President Theodore Roose­ velt gave him special assign­ ments which routed him into the White House secret, service de­ tail in 1913. In T935, he be­ came head of the detail, which congress had authorized after assassination of President Mc­ Kinley. He is six feet tall, gaunt and se­ rious, graying now, the better to fade into the crowd. Edward C. K. Reed of Villanova, Pa., president of the Harvard Lampoon, disguised himself as a girl and won the traditional Wellesley senior class hoop-rolling contest on the college campus in Wellesley, Mass. Reed is shown emerging from icy Lake Waban where he was tossed by the angry girls. The ducking occurred after Reed coyly accepted a bouquet of sweet peas and bashfully pointed out another Harvard youth as the “fiance” he would soon wed. Traditionally, the winners of the hoop-rolling race will be the first of her class to marry. Newsoien View New Low Priced Car A new low-priced, two-cylinder car, designed for a top speed of 50 miles per hour and a fuel consumption of 50 miles to the gallon, was recently previewed by newspaper men at the Indianapolis speedway. The car, which will sell for a $350 top price, is only 10 feet long, weighs 925 pounds, has a gas tank of four-gallon capacity 'and the crankcase holds only two quarts of oil. The engine is air cooled. ‘Worthless’ Outchews Goldfish Eaters - S ti . .W f,. “Worthless,” a South American cuscns, who looks something like, an American opossnm, enjoys bis favorite food at a Los Angeles' animal hospital.

QUEEN OF COTTON I Lovely Alice Hall, 19, of Memphis, Tenn., King Cotton’s 1939 “Maid of Cotton,” has brought new acclaim to the South's white gold in a nation­ wide crusade which has taken her to 22 cities. Her visits with celebri­ ties, appearance in'style shows, in which she modeled smart cotton garments, and radio broadcasts told the story of cotton to the nation. Star Dnst ★ Law Forces a Fake ★ NO for Life of Child Star ★ V. S. Groceries to Europe B y VirEtinia V ale — 1 TH E R E ’LL be a bit of fak­ ing about Principal P ro ­ duction’s “W ay Down South,” but it’s not the fault of the producer, Sol L esser. The story of the picture is laid in Louisiana; it deals w ith plan­ tation life in pre-Civil w ar days. One of the high lights of the picture is a sugar cane festival, the autum n celebra­ tion th at m arks the com ple­ tion of the harvesting season. Lesser ordered a freight car of Lou­ isiana sugar cane, and thought things were all set, when the Cali­ fornia bureau of agriculture stepped in and stopped it at the border. Seems that “foreign” cane can’t be brought into the state. So native cane from near Bakers­ field will be used instead. It is neither so heavy nor so tall as the genuine Louisiana article, but the art director will take care of that. Everything else about the picture is genuine. Bob Breen and the 50- piece Hall Johnson choir have been BOBBY BREEN rehearsing for two weeks, so that the American Negro spiritual mu­ sic will have the true beauty and charm of the Deep South. Peggy Ann Gamer, a six-year-old native of Los Angeles, won out over 1 0 0 other children in tests to find just the right child to play the part of Carole Lombard’s daughter in “Memory of Love.” ' She is inex­ perienced, but she has charm and her tests were good, so she was signed up to appear with Miss Lom­ bard, Helen Vinson and Katherine Alexander, starting, perhaps, on the road to fame. Of course, this matter of being a movie star isn’t half so much fun for a child as other children are likely to think it is. Irene Dare, (another six-year-old) who is work­ ing In “Everything on Ice,” can tes­ tify to that. She rises at 6:30 every morning, practices skating until eleven, then has a ballet lesson for an hour, After lunch she has a dramatic lesson, then another hour of skating practice, although she is an accomplished skater. Her spare time is filled with fittings for cos­ tumes and tests for hairdressing and make-up. — *— Remember Aileen Pringle, you folks who went to the movies in the' days of silent pictures? You’U see her again in “Girl From Nowhere,” with Anne Nagel and Warren Hull. "Douglas Corrigan, the wrong-way flier, won’t make another picture after all, at least not for RKO. And Eddie Cantor is not to make "The Flying Ybrkshireman” for that’ firm, after all. Both plans were just cases of misplaced enthusiasm, ap­ parently. — *— Phil Baker is probably one of the most spoiled husbands in the world. When be and his wife travel in Eu­ rope she takes along a supply of American groceries, because he doesn’t like continental food.— *— Another radio serial will reach the screen before so very long. It is “Hometown,” heard over WLS, which' stars Lulu- Belle and Skyland Scotty, and will be filmed by Re­ public Productions. — *— Whenever a new engineer is as­ signed to the Charlie McCarthy pro­ gram he’s initiated with the same gag.

Something like ipj young men and women finished the 11 til grade and receiv­ ed tli'eir diplomas. Some of them- will enter college' next fall, whi'e others wi'l go out into the world to mike either a success or a failure. The Record wishes all the young people much success in whatever they undertake. felt that some preparation for better teaching can be made during vaca­ tion by rea'ling. Pour objectives for next school term have-been set up. The first is safety education. Much emphasis is being placed upon this topic to­ day and the schools are asked to organize safety instruction in all grades The second objective is health instruction. This is an old topic, but it is also ever new. The need tor good health cannot be too greatly emphasized. The schools must teach the fundamentals of healthful living and must stimulate practice of the principles taught. The third objective is better read ing proficiency. Although mt-.ch time is given to this important topic, Investigation shows that not enough competent readers are being pro­ duced in our schools. The art .and practice of reading needs more emphasis throughout the entire school system-from first grade thr­ ough hifch school. The fourth ob­ jective is guidance. A beginning in vocational guidance was begun with our seniors this spring. Next year it is planned to extend guidance services to pupils in all high school grades. Guidance will deal net only with the choice of a vocation, but will touch upon many vital phases of living not adequately covered in the textbook?.

THE DAVIE RECORG MOCKSVTTXE. N. C. Emphasis Is on Dainty Sheers For 1939 Graduation Dress » By CHERIE NICHOLAS iSST" IN THE story of fabrics for the gowns spnng-summer graduates will wear, the word "sheer” is most impor­ tant Whether the material • be ne of the new exquisite cottons or whether ii. be a silk weave, the favor for sheers remains the same. The flare for crisp thin cot­ tons of exquisite weave and texture foretells a banner year for the lovely swiss organdies that are shown in versatile types and which make up into ideal grad­ uation frocks. Among the choicest versions in organdy are the delicate shadow prints that come in beguil­ ing tones and tints. Then there are the beautiful cloque organdies which are in such subtle patternings they breathe the breath and freshness of spring and of youth. A wide call for dotted swisses is also recording in the realm of exquisite cotton sheers. Dotted nets 'are also good this year, some of the most attrac­ tive graduate dresses brought out this season being made of point d'esprif net. In the realm of silk weaves the call for fine sheers is as insistent as it is among cottons. This year’s silk sheers highlight especially the daintiest of silk organdies, nets also and as for silk marquisette it is a first choice. Along with the thought of crisp and lovely sheers for the graduate’s gown comes up the question of color versus white. There need never be a doubt as to white always holding its own for both graduates and brides. However, for several sea­ sons there has been a disposition of brides-to-be to break away from tra­ dition and choose a delicate tone or tint for the wedding dress. As is the tendency toward color with brides so is it with prospective graduates this season, who are selecting in many instances delectable pastel tones in (llace of white for their graduation wardrobe. For a dress that will prove an inspiration and a joy on her gradua­ tion day and the whole summer through, the little graduate-to-be seated in the picture chooses dainti­ est of mousseline de soie in a de­ lectable shade of pale pink. The simplicity of its styling adds infi­ nitely to its “young” charm. Jt is made ankle length, with the new square neokline. Of course there should be frills, for everything is frilled and frilled this year. The frilling for this pretty frock extends across the neckline giving the effect of a yoke. In the charming gown worn by the girl graduate standing, the claim of high-style prestige for cottons is ver-^ ified. Here we see a most lovely' youthful frock which after gradua­ tion will become her favorite gown for summer party wear. It is in­ teresting to know that the exquisite organdy that fashions it is in an en­ trancing cool-looking pale green, with a formal wallpaper floral motif in delicate shadowprint. Note the brief pique mess jacket which be­ speaks an added triumph for cot­ tons worn in a formal way. The importance of pique in the evening mode is recognized by leading de­ signers. Some of the smartest party dresses are made of pique with full skirts that are topped with cunning basque bodices that have low-cut square decolletage and sprightly short puffed sleeves. Speaking of 'the'dress pictured'the addition of the jacket makes this a very practi­ cal costume. For greater formal­ ity, the bodice underneath tunes in with a flattering deep-cut decol­ letage. © Western Newspaper Union. Y o u th f u l F i x i n g s G i v e P r e t t y T o u c h Pile on all the devastating]? pret­ ty furbelows you crave to wear, in­ dulge in all the utterly frivolous and adorable, style idiocyncrasies that you can find in the store dis­ plays, for the decree has gone forth from fashion headquarters that the fair sex must be deliberately pretty and young looking this season. The “teens” will fill this big order wear­ ing “little girl" dresses that have short swing skirts that audaciously flaunt glimpses of petticoat frills. They will wear demure bonnets tied under the chin or wide-brimmed breton sailors that abruptly dash up­ ward in conspicuous off-the-face manner. Those older in years, but' not in spirit, will drink of fashion’s foun­ tain of youth, satisfying their thirst with billowy masses of gay-colored veils that do away, as if by magic, with telltale signs of approaching age. They will wear flowers on their hats and their costumes. Skirts will be pleated to slenderize at the hip- line, yet give ample swing move­ ment to the hemline. Silk prints will flatter and flatter. Gloves will add color to the picture. Yes, in­ deed, it is a “young” season throughout every phase of fashion planned for spring and summer, whether we be “sweet sixteen" or at the “life begins at forty” period. E l e g a n t O l d - T i m e F a b r i c s A r e B a c k There is a notable use of bengaline being made by designers, who are creating many of their smartest suits and coats of this handsome silk such as was the proud boast of ladies of fashion' in the long ago. Along with this revival of handsome bengaline comes Qte return to favor Ot crisp rustling, taffeta, also heavy quality-kind faille silk. A d d s S t y l e T o u c h To browse about in neckwear sec* tions this season gives one a sort of Alice-in-Wonderland feeling, for there’s- a thrill of new and fascinat­ ing discovery at every, turn of the eye. The interesting thing about modern neckwear departments is that they include so much more than just neck “fixings” and furbelows. One of the charming, likewise smart and practical items to be found in current neckwear showings is the striped “backet” as pictured. It may be worn as a plastron as you here see or simply by reversing (the back to the front) and you have a topper with an ascot, perfect over a plain wool dress or ideal to wear under your jacket with the new suit.

ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS Elmo Scott Watson Long-Haired Sheriff POMMODOHE PERHY OWENS, born in Tennessee in 1852, went to Texas in the early seventies arid spent 11 years there as a cowboy before becoming foreman of a cow outfit in New Mexico. He .wore his hair long—almost to his waist—and carried his six-shooter on his left side* the butt pointing forward. Old timers in the Southwest were doubt, ful whether such a “show-off” had “real sand.” They found out he did have when, singlehanded, he killed three Navajo Indian cattle thieves. Then the peo­ ple of northern Arizona decided he was the man to clean up the out­ laws in their section and elected him sheriff of Apache county in 1887. He broke up a band of 16 cattle rustler? after killing [ke Clanton of Tombstone fartie and two others and capturing his brother, Finn Clanton, leader of the gang. But his greatest feat was his sin­ gle-handed fight with four members of the Blevans gang, one of the fac­ tions in the famous Pleasant Valley war. In this fight, which took place in Holbrook, Perry killed three of the four, including Andy Cooner, one of Arizona’s most dangerous gun- fighters. It was one of the most desperate encounters at close quar­ ters in the history of the state, not even excepting the famous fight at the O. K. corral in Tombstone. Refusing re-election as sheriff. Perry became a special agent for the Santa Fe railroad, later express messenger for Wells-Fargo and then a United States marshal. He gave up his man-hunting work in 1900 and became a business man in Sel- igman where he died in 1919.• * * First in Yellowstone Park \ \ T HAT an adventure it must ' ' have been for the first person who saw the Yellowstone! John Col­ ter, who for three years had served in the famous Lewis and Clark ex­ pedition, was the lucky man. He had just left the party and estab­ lished himself with the expedition of Maniiel Usa from.,S t Louis who traveled up the Missouri river to trade with the Indians. A fort was established at the Big Horn and John Colter was sent ahead to notify the red men. With courage typical of that period, he began his lone expedition into terri­ tory never before trod by even the most courageous trappers and pi­ oneers of the time. Informed by the Indians that ahead lay a territory that was be­ deviled and that they would not pen­ etrate it, his curiosity and bis ad­ venturous spirit impelled him to ex­ plore it. He was well rewarded tor records show that, in 1808, he went through and then completely encir­ cled what is now Yellowstone na- tionalpark. Alone, he saw before any other person, the boiling springs, towering geysers and strange mineral depos­ its. Not only was he a pioneer among white men, but more adven­ turous than even the red men, being years ahead of them in .risking ex­ istence in a |and where the earth trembled and groaned, spouted fire and hissed steam. When Colter returned, he told such an amazing story of smoking pits and the smell of brimstone that the men of the fort laughed at him 'and told others what they thought were ^ridiculbtis'Stories of ‘‘Colter’s Hell.” It was several years before' anyone else had the courage to veri­ fy his discovery.* • • First Arctic Explorer D e n ja m in fr a n k l in is famous M for a long list of achievements but one more should be added to the list—that of patron of the first Amer­ ican voyage of Arctic exploration. Early in the. EighteenOi century the English parliament offered a re­ ward of 2 0 ,0 0 0 pounds, to anyone who proved'- the - existence of the fabled Northwest Passage to Asia. A Brit­ ish expedition set out in 1746 but failed to find it. Then Franklin helped outfit the 60-ton schooner, Argo, which set forth in 1753 under the command of Capt. Charles Swaine. Sailing Ui March, the Argo encountered ice off Cape Farewell, but finally succeed­ ed in entering Hudson’s'strait in the latter part of June. Here the ice packs were so high that Swaine was forced to give up the attempt to penetrate further westward and to turn back to the open sea again. He then carefully examined the coast of -Labrador be­ fore returning to Philadelphia where be arrived in November. - The next year he made a second voyage of discovery in the same vessel. Again he was unsuccessful and returned in October with the loss of three men, who were killed on the Labrador coast. But even though he had failed, he had won the right to Oie title of “First American Arctic Explorer” and, as Carl Van Doren, Franklin’s latest biographer, says: “Here were the beginnings of a long chapter in the history of American adventure.”• Western NcwcMpet OaKm. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYICHOOL LessonS By HAROLD L. LUNDQU1ST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.© Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 28 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se* lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. PACL THINKS IN WORLD TEEMS . LESSON TEXT—Romans 1:1-17. ...'GdlSEN TEXT—Far I am not ashamed of the gospel Ot Christ: for It is the power of God unto salvation to every one that be- lieveth.—Romans 1:16,. “I see chaos . . . only one thing will stop this coming chaos . . . a sweeping spiritual revival. Unless we have such a reawakening of re* ligious forces we shall have a de­ pression within the next 1 0 years that will make the last one look like a Christmas eve program.” So wrote'a prominent business advisor recently, as quoted in the Practical Commentary. His view is shared by others not only in business but in governmental circles. Religious leaders, some of whom until recent­ ly were presenting glowing pictures of the beautiful fellowship of the peoples of the earth in a modernistic faith which is far from the gospel, are now either silent or prophets of despair. Faithful witnesses for God" have long seen the approach of this day, and like prophets of old have warned the people to turn to God. God still lives. The good news of the gospel has lost none of its re­ deeming power. The Light of the World is ready to shine in the dark­ ness. Kow is the time to preach I. The Gospel (vy. 1-6). Paul knew himself as the bond­ slave of Jesus Christ, recognizing that he had been set apart by L. for the exalted purpose of preach­ ing the gospel. Tlie word itself means "good news,” that is, any good news. But because there is but one bit of good news in the world entitled to a place of supremacy, it has come to mean the good news of the grace of God in Christ .Jesus. Note the three points made by Paul. First, it is “the gospel of God,” good news from God. “Hu­ manly speaking, from every reason­ able standpoint, God can have only one message for fallen, rebellious men—a message of judgment and death. If there is to be good news from God, then God Himself must undertake to change the relation­ ship-between-man and Himself so that He will be able to bestow His richest blessings upon men. This is the good hews, that God is under­ taking to save men from the judg­ ment and doom that man deserves” (Wilbur M. Smith). Then observe that this salvation was prophesied beforehand (v. 2 ). This gospel we have is not some­ thing suddenly prepared to meet an emergency. It was prepared before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:4; Rev. 13:8). And.in verse 3 we read that the good news is “con­ cerning his Son.” He is the only Sa­ viour and unless it is concerning Him that we are to speak, the news is not good news. O. The Gospel for the Whole World (w . 7-15). Religious cults flourish only where conditions prosper them. “Budd­ hism, we are told, succeeds best in warm climates. Mohammedanism flourishes among people of low cul­ ture. The gospel of Christ breaks through all barriers of geography, climate and race, and has proved it­ self to be equally adapted to men of ‘all nations’ ” (LeRoy M. Lowell). Paul was called to preach to Greek and barbarian, to Jew and Gentile, to the wise and the unwise, to every living soul. What is more, he regarded himself as a debtor to them, and that is the spirit that brings forth a sacrificial determina­ tion to make Christ known to the ends of the earth. Let us recognize that we too are in debt'to the whole world because we have the gospel that men need. Then in Christ’s name let us as honorable men and women pay out debt. Perhaps some who would not wait overnight to pay the grocer for what he has deliv­ ered, have never felt the slightest compunction about standing in debt to all men for the preaching of the gospel. m . The Gospel for the World’s SaIvatioa (w . 16, 17). Paul was not ashamed to take the gospel into the very heart of that ancient world, the magnificent city of Rome. Haid he come with-some new philosophy of life which had no power to. transform men, he might well have been ashamed, but he knew that what he had would meet the deepest needs of humanity for deliverance from sin and sorrow and eternal death. He knew that the need of the “up and out” was the same as that of the “down and out” —namely, the redeeming grace of God—the gospel which is “the pow­ er of God .unto salvation to every one that-believeth” (v. 16). Why should we who follow Christ be so timid when Paul could be so bold? Certainly we should not speak to men about this good news, in an apologetic, “hope-you-won’t-mind” attitude. Men need Christ. We know Christ will nteet their every need. Let us not be ashamed to tell them about. Him in the home, in the church, in the office, on the street, in America, in China, in Africa, yes, even tothe very ends of the earth.

It may be something special for dinner. What ever it is, the belief that “it cost too much” blocks the purchase. And we customarily blame the merchant. The merchant may be at fault in some cases, but not in the msj irity. He selis as cheaply as he possibly can, knowing better than you do th: t high prices do more than anything else to build up sales resistance. Believe it or not, legislation, in mary instances, is more directlv-Srespon sible for high prices than the people who make, handle and sell commo dities. A large number of states, for example, have passed fair trade laws. These laws vary in detail, but all are about the same in principle. They effectively block honest com­ petition by preventing merchants from selling certain articles below a specified minimum. As a result, they place a premium on waste and in­ efficiency. The high cost dealer is allowed to be the arbiter of price and value. And the low-cost store isn’t allowed to cut the price, even though it wants to and could do so and still make a satisfactory profit. Various local surveys concerning the economic effects of these laws have been made And in every in stance, the surveys have shown tl at thev raise the cost of living, and reduce sales. The average family spends about all it receives in income —and when prices are forced up it must buy fewer or inferior articles.

Sprawling old houses, they were sinister and darkly foreboding. Inside one of them lived pretty June Leaford, surrounded by taciturn, dose- mouthed relatives, one of whom was a maniacal murderer, cleverly striking at those who stood in the way. The ultimate solving of the mystery by two of fiction's best known charac- . ters, Inspector Tope and Miss Moss, is one of Ben .Ames Williams' most thrill­ ing dories.

Who Knows? In a commencement address -a few days ago Dr. Ralph McDonald said; “It may be a shocking revela­ tion to some North Carol mans who think we have reached the limit in support of-education, but there is no other state in the union where the average teacher receives so low a salary in proportion to training and experience. In the two or three states where the average teacher's salary is lower, that aver­ age teacher is far inferior to our own.” Gov. Hoey, on the other hand, is not so optimistic. The Elkin Tribune has the following to say of the two me’i: One is intensely practical, the other intensely idealistic. Perhaps it is fortunate for the State to hold these outstanding characters. Beacuse it is quite possible for North Carolina to be entirely too practical. The notion here is that we are being too practical with our school teachers when we say to them that their $2 .- 71 a day is the limit, and surprise them by increasing salaries of State officials by more than they get for a whole year’s grind. Somewhere between the practicality of Gover­ nor Hoey and the ideals ot Ralph McDonald tim e should be a happy meeting ground that the teachers of North Carolina will be hoping somebody with influence will be about the business of finding.—Ex. Leadbg Families. After examining something like 40,000,000 names now on the social security rolls of the nation, the board informs us that Smith is still the most popular name in this countr, with something like 480,- 000 such names listed. Next in line are the Johnsons with nearly 360,000 names, and then follow the Browns and the Williamses with about 250,000each. Following these and completing the “big six” are the Millers and the Joneses. Thus America’s six leading famailies are very much as they have always been. They have net been displaced by the famous “sixty families” of Secretary Ickes. They are still Smith, Tohnson, Brown, etc., and these first six number nearly 1,500,000 of the 40,000,000 persons registered. So we are not going to be very fearful - of- the future of America as long as such names predominate. Thomas Jefferson And Government Financing. Over 100 years ago Thomas Jef- Ierson enunciated the principles of government financing in the follow­ ing words: “I pledge economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of damages to be feared. To preserve our independence we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and our drsnk, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labors and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the peo pie under the pretense of carirfg for them, they (the people) will be happy. The same prudence which in private life would forbid our p 3y ing oiir money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the dis­ position of public money. We. are endeavoring to reduce the govern ment to the practice of a rigid eco nomy to avoid burdening the people and arming the Magistrate with a patronage of money which might be used to corrupt the principles of our government.” Signing Him Up. Commandant MajorWilliamVan Dyke Ochs, told cadets of the New Hanover High school ROTC batal- Iion a big mouthful when he hand­ ed them this: "You men are supposed to be physically fit and mentally alert, and there are three things you won't do when you wear that 'uni­ form. You will not eat worms or goldfish; you will not wear lace on your trousers, and you will hot thumb rides:". What goes on here? Surely the youngsters are not to be told that ihey can’t do as they jolly' well please. That sounds a sight like a threat to their “freedom”, but from this distance we're' betting a half­ spent cigar that uot one of those young fellows will have the cour­ age to challenge their command­ ant’s purpose. Major Ocbs should be drafted by those universities whose students have been favoring them with pub­ licity of a sort that is not calculat ed to appeal to father with young hopefuls to educate. If the beads of those institutions haven’t the in­ testinal foititude to yank the fish- swallowers and worm-eaters and sent them home to dad, then they ought to hire a bouncer.—Ex. Minding Our Own Business. Our statesmen are busy telling us that we should keep our nose out cf other people’s business, mind our own and let the world wag along with no concern from us. That list­ ens well, and most of us are willing to string along with them, because it seems the easiest course to follow. But it is not so easily done as said The trouble is that here in Amer­ ica we are not agreed as to what our business is. We would gladly mind it if we knew. And because we are uncertain about it our foreign policy has become -a program of backing and filling. Itcanhardly be said that we are minding our own business if we fol­ low Senator Borah when he advo­ cates the return of German West A- frica; or Senator Chavez when he welcomes Franco; or Senator John­ son when he will fight it out all sum­ mer with the State department; or our own Senator Reynolds when he takes up.four hours of the Senate’s time telling how he means to crucify North Carolina newspapers. Minding our own business as ap­ plied to this nation’s foreign policy is not easy like falling off a log. A foreign policy must be something mire realistic and constructive than f a general dread of war. with every­ body headed for his own special hide­ out. We happen to be a great world pjwer with inescapable traditions and commitments. We like to quote from Washington’s farewell address, bat we forget about the Monroe Djctrine and what it demands of us. Cuba used to be farther from our shores than the Azores are today. Therefore who survived the Eu­ ropean mess and controls the Azores Tomorrow, becomes a matter of vital eoncern to us. We fling our arms and declare that we will defend the Monroe Doctrine, even to the extent ef a little blood­ letting on our own shores. But we would ignore the circumstances that could make this doc rine impossible tomorrow. Some of our statesmen would have us forget that Britain and France no longer covet an inch of Western soil, vet they are. involv­ ed in a desperate struggle with those who must certainly do.. They 'would have us treat all alike in the thought that we could woo the Winner, and we might be disillusioned. Eoreign policy .is all mixed up with tbingsrthat make it hard - to mind four own business. And-onr political leaders are making it harder when their thinking and planning -is con­cerned mostly with how it. will dove­ tail with the next election,—States­ville Daily.

To end an examina tion of the situation by blaming -it all on to Hitler and Mussolini would be somewhat short-sighted, popular as though it might be. Take the case of cotton for ex­ ample. Our cotton farmers are in a sorrier plight just now that, our a- griculturists in other parts of the country. Cotton growing is a sick industry. The si’uation is so serious as to call for special treatment, and various and diverse remedies are be­ ing offired by the experts. Unfoi- tunately these do not always agree. Our foreign cotton market seems to be drying up. The shrinkage during the past few years has been steady, and last year it was especially alarrr. ing But an interesting point is that this Iosshas bprn gn-a'er in d,:mn- crrtic Gn-at Bri’ain and Francethan in autocratic Geimany and Italy.

Dr. Feis is economic adviser to the state department, and it was he who schemed the barter deal by which we would acquire needed rubber and tin and get rid of the necklace of millstones hung around Uncle Sam’s neck in the form of that government-owned surplus of 1 1,- 0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bales of cotton. The news from London is that the barter deal is under way, Prime Minister Chamberlain having informed parliament that negotiations have been opened. Wheat also will be in­ cluded in the bargaining, as England needs both wheat and cotton as much as we need rub­ ber and tin. Here may be a working commodity axis, which Macbiavelli so vehemently de­ clared was always more impor­tant in the long run than any political axis. And, incidentally, Dr. Feis has read Machiavelli. He is a hold-over from the Hoover regime, appointed to his present post by Secretary Stimson, who was impressed with the insight and in­ formation in Dr. Feis’ book, “Eu­ rope the World’s Banker.” He has been used by the department in clarifying confusion and in boiling down vague policies to definite pro­ cedure. Dr. Feis is a New Yorker with a Harvard Ph. D. He was pro­ fessor of economics at the Uni­versity of Kansas and the Uni­ versity of Cincinnati and direc­ tor of research for the couneil of foreign relations. Like many men given to meditation, he smokes a pipe, blows rings and comes out of the haze with an idea or hunch as sharply defined as if it h&d been cut by a lapidary.

Littauer, whose $3,000,000 Littauer center is dedicat­ ed at Harvard. His foundation was established to “bring about a better Understanding among mankind.” It was Mr. Littauer who, as a congressman from New York, sponsored and established the ,.United States bureau of stand­ ards. It worked out nieely. Uniformity in machine appli­ances and spare parts was eas­ ily attained. Moving from ma- ' chines into social adaptations and adjustments, Mr. Littauer found human variables could not —as yet—be calculated like metal variables. Hence his new bureau of human standards at Harvard. Like the late Chauncey M. Depew,- he has been honored by a statue in his own town, during his lifetime. The town is Gloversville, N. Y., where, after his graduation from Harvard, he picked iip his father’s glove manufacturing business. His later years have been absorbed in his manifold philanthropies, to which he has given many millions. of dollars. Thinking in Mr. Milne’s long stretch of time, he is calmly assured that, in due time, all will be well with' the world, but that “we must oppose absolutism in any guise, from any source.” His father, a native' of Bres­ lau, Germany, passed on to him a heritage of Carl Sehun liber­ alism—which perhaps could be fittingly measured against Frits Kuhn’s Importation. Just In passing, he played on Harvard's first football team and rowed on its first crew—back in his Tau- 1 time days.2 (Consolidated F«atur*»—WNU SktYictO Powerful Telescopes Manufactured in $20 Plant ~ T " \ I.

She wouldn’t believe that she ought to return for “Dark Victory” until she had received three letters and a cablegram; she’d known people who rushed to Hollywood and then sat around and waited everlastingly for things to get started.

AU of which won’t seem remark­ able to you unless you know what a complicated business this matter of recording sounds can be.

Life’s Battle "IX^E ARE constantly speaking * ” of the “struggle for life,” and calling life “a battle” ; but we do not see that our very existence, and the fact that we have a battle to fight, are due to the struggles and triumphs of those who have gone before us. We think that, some strange thing has happened' to us, and that our lot is an un, usually hard one. But such thoughts are altogeth­ er unworthy. Our fathers found life as hard a battle as we do, and if they had not fought we should not be alive to fight. Every stage of human history is the outwork­ ing of the same destiny; and it is in fulfilling ours, and entering well: into the struggle for life as ar­ ranged for us, that we do our part toward perpetuating the moral life of humanity. We are descendants, and some-, body is responsible for us.

TH'S duty-- Lies ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS By Elmo Scott Watson Immortalized by a Dam Q ONNE VILLE dam in the Colum- bia river perpetuates the mem- ary of an adventurous explorer who was both a great success and a great failure. In 1832 French-born Capt. Benjamin Bonneville of the United States army obtained a leave of absence to engage in a ftir trading expedition on condition that he ex­plore the trans-Missouri West and obtain information concerning the Indians, the topography of the coun­try and its economic possibilities, Two years later he set out at the head of a party of HO men. Commercially his venture was a complete failure. He built forts in such poor locations that the fron­ tiersmen called them “Fort Non­ sense.” Some were so high in the mountains that they were cut off from the outside by the first snows of winter. But his expedition was successful in that he explored the route through South Pass for wagon trains and mapped the passage of the Columbia river through the Cas­ cade mountains. Moreover he was an able military leader for he did not lose a single man during all his perilous journey through the In­ dian-infested wilderness.After his return to the East he met Washington Irving at the home of John Jacob Astor and the result was the book “The Adventures of Captain Bonneville" by that famous writer. The book was a “best sell­ er” of its time but it did not help Bonneville’s reputation greatly. He kad long overstayed his leave of absence and when President Jack­ son reinstated him as a captain in 1836 many people protested that Bonneville should have been dis­ missed from the service instead. Bonneville proved them wrong by his conduct during the Mexican war. which won for him a citation for gallantry in action. In 1852 he be­ came commandant at Fort Vancou­ ver which stood 30 miles down the river from the dam that now bears his name. He was brevetted a brig­ adier general in 1869 and died in St. Eouis in the spring of 1878.• • • ‘A Message to Garcia’ r t UT in California lives an 82- year-old retired army officer whose name was once on every American’s-lips. He is CoL Andrew Stunmers Rowan, the man who car­ried “a message to Garcia.” In 1898 war with Spain was im­ minent and President McKinley wanted to know if General Garcia, commander of the Cuban insur­ gents, would co-operate with the American forces if an army was sent there. The man chosen to find out was young Lieutenant Rowan. Rowan proved that the confidence of his superiors was not misplaced. Making his way through the steam­ ing, insect-inferied jungle, drinking germ-filled water, living on such food as he could find and in constant danger of capture and execution by the Spaniards as a spy. Rowan found Garcia, got the information he sought and safely made an equal­ly perilous return trip. Rowan was taken to the White House where he received the thanks of the President and promoted to the rank of Ueutenant-colonel of vol­ unteers. But the thing which made him famous was an editorial, writ­ ten by Elbert Hubbard, for his mag­ azine, the Philistine, the following year. This editorial, published under the title of “A Message to Garcia,” was translated into 20 languages, reprinted all over the world and is one of the best known pieces of Eng­ lish prose ever written. As for the man who inspired it, not until 1922 did he receive public recognition from his country in foe form of foe Distinguished Service Cross for carrying foe “message to Garcia.”• • • Death Valley Samaritan I OU WESTCOTT BECK went into •—> Death Valley to seek wealth but almost perished. He stayed there to devote his life to saving others. Deafo Valley of the days before good roads and tourist facilities was well named. Hundreds of American adventurers never returned from it. A barren waste with trails that led nowhere, and alive only with crawl­ ing lizards and darting poisonous snakes, Death Valley was a treach­ erous trap baited to lure adventur­ers with promises of gold. Beck became known as the “Good Samaritan of Death Valley,” piling up rocks and putting signs on them directing prospectors to water holes. He went out searching for those who were known to be lost and guided them to safety.For 13 years, aided only by Rufus, his Newfoundland dog, Beck braved foe hardships of foe Colorado and Mojave deserts, as well as Death Valley, and saved between 300 and 100 lives. In 1917, although warned not to by his dog, Beck drank from an infected spring and never re­ covered from the resulting illness. Although comparatively unknown today, Lou Westcott Beck is proba­ bly one of the most self-sacrificing of all the great American adven­ turers.C Western Nempaser Union. Lace Tunes to This Summer’s 4Lovely Lady’ Fashion Trends By CHERIE NICHOLAS & 0 TT’S fashions that trend to * “lovely lady” types that will hold foe spotlight during the coming months. Which brings us at once to the theme of this story—lace, lovely lace! With foe new styles go­ ing in so enthusiastically for femi­ nine pzettiness in hat, gown and ac­ cessories, foe logical answer needs must be lace, as has been foe an­ swer throughout foe centuries of fashions that have gone before.With foe craze for lace trims on hats, for. billowy masses of lace at throat and at wrist, with the return of the “baby waist” that is exquis­ itely sheer and entrancingly lace trimmed, with tailored laces for daytime wear, with sheer pleated laces for dress-up wear, with pic­ turesque period frocks enchantingly detailed in lace, with lace playing a star role in boudoir fashions, with accessories even to gloves and bags and boutonnieres of lace, the cur­ rent message of lace has become too vast, too all-inclusive for words. Tou just have to let the bigness of foe lace theme grow upon you as foe pageantry of present and coming modes pass in review. The important thing to say about modem laces is that they are so versatile in character that there’s a lace for every occasion no matter what the challenge may be. For that matter it is not an exaggera­ tion to say that an entire wardrobe could be planned of lace. There are fabriclike laces for tailored use, stunning laces for afternoon frocks, laces of grand dame elegance for formal evening wear, sheer laces of cobweb mesh that pleat up beauti­ fully, two-way stretch laces for bath­ ing suits and so on and so on without end. The responsiveness of lace to ev­ ery mood of fashion accounts for the fact that designers are acquir­ ing foe lace habit with an increasing enthusiasm as the possibilities re­ veal foe growing tendency of lace producers to supply a type for every need. Smart. Rainwear Ufiiat adage, “prepare for a rainy day,” ever instilled in foe minds of the young, has been taken literally in foe realm of fashion. The mod­em interpretation of stylish rain­ wear is reflected in foe very attrac­ tive rain cape here pictured. Surely some little girl's geography book must have inspired this all-America iaincape in that it is printed with a map of the United States, rivers and mountains and borderlines included. It comes either with a babushka to match, as pictured, or if preferred you can get it with attached hood. The illustration presents three dis­ tinct types of frocks fashioned of lace. Anewmediumforthetailored sheer dress which will be found ever so practical for summer wear, is an interesting conventional^ patterned two-tone lace as pictured to foe left in the group. Bruyere designed this dress which has a grosgrain ribbon belt and two ribbon bows an foe shoulder. Utterly feminine and charming is foe afternoon dress shown in foe foreground to the right. VeraBorea designs this lovely frock of a deli­cate but firm lace that delineates big florals with sheer mesh between. Vie ruffles around the neckline and on the sleeves are indicative of Par­is trends. In this dress of horizon blue lace foe ruffles lend a be­ guiling feminine note with no sug­ gestion of fussiness. For summer afternoon wear and informal eve­ nings, there is wide favor expressed for pastel laces. An interesting feature of sheer afternoon lace frocks is that many, are worn over costume slips in con­ trasting color. Dark laces, very sheer, are also worn over light foun­dation slips. The monotone effect that demands a matching color for foe slip is equally good style. The model in foe center shows an evening dress designed by Moly- neaux. It demonstrates how pleas­ ingly sheer lace yields to pleated treatments. The straight-fitted sheath skirt is finely pleated, and foe dramatic balloon sleeves are likewise pleated. The deep square decolletage is noteworthy.O Wefftun Newspaper Union. Pleated Skirt in Summer Fabrics Skirts and blouses are usually on the wane by foe time really warm weather sets in and foe lightwright suit usually is foe only opportunity for continuing this casual style. Blrt not so this year, at least if the prom­inence of spun rayon, linen and cot­ ton skirts are any indication. The pleated all-round skirt is es­pecially good in summer fabrics, which may account for foe increased popularity, and not only the skirt departments but foe blouse and summer sweater departments are preparing for much activity. The practicality of the skirt and blouse or sweater is undeniable. It is easy to have a nuinbemf changes at little outlay and there is less ne­cessity of laundering than with a number of one-piece frocks. Feminine Frills On Shirtwaists Sportswear is not being neglected, even among the frills and ruffles of the majority of feminine clothes, and the shirtwaist is making a con­ spicuous appearance, changed in some cases by foe addition of pleat­ ed and gathered fullness, fort still basically foe same. In some instances this style is seen with additional color contrasts, among them one shirtwaist dress with rose top and navy skirt, an­ other with a pink and white striped top and |dnk shirt, and others solid pastel shirtwaist frocks with con. trasting b rig h t cummerbund! around-foe waist.* Foeket Inieiest Watch for peg-topped pockets in daytime and evening skirts.

PAUL PLEADS HIS OWN CASE LESSON TEXT—Acts 21:40-22:4; *4:14- 16; 26:19-23.GOLDEN TEXT—I have lived In all good conscience before God until this day.— Acts 23:1. “They say. What do they say? Let them say!”- So reads the in­ scription over a doorway of one of foe great schools of England. What does it mean? It bespeaks the con­ fidence of a life lived so nobly that foe barbs flung out by wicked and slanderous tongues may be faced without fear, in fact, ignored. The best defense against foe at­tacks of men is foe testimony of a good life. Paul had lived such a life, and consequently when the hour came for him to speak in his own defense, he needed but to point to foe record. It is sign-leant that his enemies did not deny the facts. They could only cry out, throw off their garments and' throw dust in the air while they shouted, “Away with such a fellow from the earth!” (Acts 22:22-24). They did, indeed, manufacture accusations against him; but even the heathen officials knew enough to throw these out of court. The impotent rage shown by wicked men when they run up against the consistent testimony of a true Cfiiristian life is one of foe strongest of testimonies to foe gen­ uineness of faith. At first glance the portions as­ signed for our lesson seem some­what unrelated though taken from the same general narrative. A little study reveals a surprising unity. L A Matter of Conviction (21:40— 22:4).Many men and women have no real convictions. They are Repub­ licans or Democrats because their fathers were, and often they have not the remotest idea of what it all means.. They are members of a cer­ tain denomination because they were brought up in it, and have little knowledge of its teachings and no definite convictions relative to them. Paul was a Christian because of strong personal convictions of foe deepest kind. He was reared in a tradition which made him a bitter persecutor of the followers of Christ, and it was a personal experience of foe regenerating grace of God in Jesus Christ which made him into the bond slave of foe One he had persecuted. We need more of that kind of know-so and say-so type of faith. Joining a church as one might join a social club means noth­ ing—but following Christ in full and free devotion is everything. H. A Matter of Authority (24:14- 16). Just as Paul’s life was built on faith which was inward, based on personal convictions, it was also a faith that was Godward, based on the authority of His Word. The Jews might call it heresy, but Paul stood on “all things which are writ­ ten” (v. 14); he had a “hope toward God” (v. 15), and “a conscience void of offence toward God” (v. 16). Those who ridicule Christianity would have it that, faith is realty credulity. They say we believe things which we do not know to be true, while hoping that they may somehow prove to be so. A man who reads these notes in his home­ town newspaper recently wrote to ask me if I was fool enough to be­lieve the things I wrote. Thefactis that we, even as did Paul, have the strongest of all foundations for our faith, namely the Word of God. Men act in faith on foe word of their fellow men—their very existence is all bound up in that faith in men whom they hardly know. They be­lieve them, but they will not believe God. I suggested to my correspond­ ent'that he read I Corinthians 1:18- 25 and 2:14. Christian faith calls for a personal belief, but that belief is not in any word of man, but in foe Word of God, which abideth forever. m . A Matter of Witness (26:19- 23).Inward, Godward, and now out­ward in witness—these are foe three relationships of Paul’s good life. He could plead in his own defense the record- of his life, for he had not selfishly cherished a fellowship with God which had lighted and warmed his own soul and then left his fellow man to sit in foe chilling darkness of sin. He was obedient to foe heavenly vision (v. 19), and preached repentance, faith, and good works to both Jew and Gentile (v. 20), continuing to do so with God’s help even in foe face of severe persecution. Some people are just so good that they are “good for nothing.” Such men do not reflect foe goodness of God. Every attribute of God is an active one.. He is love and He does love. He not only is good, but He does good. His children should be like Him. They are not saved only that they may escape hell and enjoy the peace of God. They are saved to serve in the winning of others to Christ Let us covet such a good life as that which Paul lived. Our bewildered age needs foe sanctify­ ing and stabilizing influence of such lives!

That is because there are 14 different ways in which compounds of phosphorus may function in the body. In fact, it is doubtful if any oth­ er inorganic ele­ ment enters into such a diversity of compounds or plays an important part in so many functions. This mineral is indispensable for all foe active tissues of foe body and likeirise helps in regulating foe neutrality of the blood. It is found abundantly in nerve tissue. N eeded for Teeth and Bones Its most significant role, how­ ever, is to team with calcium in giving rigidity to foe bones and teeth. Approximately 90 per cent of foe total phosphorus of foe body and 99 per cent of foe cal­ cium are found in foe bones and teeth. Both these minerals are required in generous amounts, hut almost twice .as much phosphorns as cal­ cium should be supplied every day. Moreover, children should have about one-and-one-half times as much phosphorus as adults, to meet foe requirements for growth. The muscles and soft tissues need phosphorus as well as foe bones, and in foe dietary of foe child, they must share with the bones, foe phosphorus that is pro­ vided by foe food. Hence, the greater need for this mineral dur­ing childhood. Phosphorus and Ridcets If a child’s diet is deficient in phosphorus or calcium, or if con­ ditions are not favorable for their proper absorption, rickets will oc­ cur. This devastating nutritional disease may result in deformities of the chest and pelvic bones, as wen as the more familiar bow legs and knock-knees. Investigators have spent many years In discovering how to pre­ vent and cure this disease which has made life miserable for so many children and which has far- reaching effects that carry over into later life. For example, adults who have bow-legs or a pigeon breast as a result of childhood rickets, are always self-conscious because of their defects. And motherhood may be far more diffi­ cult for young women whose pel­ vic bones were deformed by rick­ets in their early years. A Low-Phosplionis D iet It was found that rickets may be associated with a low-phosphor- us diet, even when the calcium content is high. And investigations also determined that there is a , seasonal tide of blood phosphorus - which corresponds to foe ambant of available sunlight. This led to foe realization that sunlight-— which we now know helps foe body* to manufacture vitamin D—is closely related to the proper uti­ lization of phosphorus. And today it is well established that riekete can be prevented, or cured, by a diet containing liberal amounts of phosphorus, calcium and vitamin D. Vitamin D can be obtained from direct sunshine, but where this is not available in adequate amounts, cod-liver oil, irradiated foods, or those, fortified with a vitamin D concentrate will supply this necessary substance. M ake U se of Sunlight As we approach foe season when the greatest amount of sunshine is available, homemakers should see to it that not only foe chil­dren, but every member of foe family spend as much time as possible in foe sunlight. This will help to promote foe proper utiliza­ tion of phosphorus and calcium. And both teeth and bones will benefit, as well as foe genera] health. W here to Find Phosphorus Every homemaker should ac­ quaint herself with foe foods that supply phosphorus most abundant­ ly, so that she will be prepared to include this mineral in foe diet every day. Egg yolk and dried beans are both valuable sources of phosphorus. Soarewholegrain cereals and lean meats. In fact, cereals and meats have this in common—both are rich in phos­ phorus and deficient in calcium. Whole grain breads are likewise important for their phosphorus content. And on a percentage ba­ sis, cheese tanks very high as a carrier of this mineral. Cocoa also contains a large per­ centage, though it must be re­ membered that, as a rule, only small quantities of cocoa are con­ sumed at one time. Many nuts, including almonds, peanuts, pe­ cans and walnuts, furnish signifi­cant amounts, find this mineral is found In dried fruits such as raisins, figs and prunes, and in much smaller quantities in vege­ tables, such as spinach, cauliflow­ er, string beans, carrots and brus- sels sprouts. Milk supplies phosphorus, though not in such generous amounts as calcium. However, if you follow the rule of a quart of 'milk daily for every child and a pint for each adult, you will contribute materi­ ally to the phosphorus and cat cium content of the diet. Q aestions A nswered Mrs. S. E. N The three- or four-year-old' child who- wakes early should not be allowed to go for. a very long period without breakfast For this reason, seven o’clock is recommended as a good hour for his first meal of the day. After such an early breakfast however, a mid-morning lunch of milk and crackers will be neces­ sary. A child of this age may be expected to go to bed not later than seven o’clock. AROUND •h. HOUSE Heat Brown Sugar.—If dark or light brown sugar is too hard to' measure, heat it in the oven, then measure it quickly while it is soft Store it in the refrigerator or bread box, where it will remain soft.• • • Prevent Soiled Curtains.—Paint patent clothes pins the color of your decorations hi different rooms and use a pair to pin back curtains at- night or during show­ ers.

Mrs. Roosevelt is going to serve beer when she entertains the King and Qiteen of England. Pity our Piesident’s wife isn't a prohibition i t ._______________ It seems that Mayor Totn Cooper, of Wilmington wants to run for Governor of North Carolina next year. Is this the same gentleman who served a term in the state peni tentiary some yesrs ago? Mr. Roosevelt still believes in the New Deal, despite the Iact that it has put this country in debt to the tune of twenty four billion dollars in the past six tears. Ephriam seems to be joined to his idols. The Record doesn’t publish all the news. Why should we print some articles that would break some poor mother's heart, or make some of the younger generation ashamed of what is going on in this fast age. Only four weeks until the good old blackberry will be with us, and eight weeks until the watermelons and cantaloupes will be getting ripe. It is worth a lot to live in Pied­ mont Carolina. Most of us don’t appreciate the many blessings that surround us on ail sides. Sheriff Bowden tells us that he captured ten gallons of sugar-head liquor a few days ago. This booze wasn’t captured on the Yadkinville highway, but in the Cornatzer sec­ tion, it we are not mistaken. As long as our citizens will drink booze there will always be folks who will make it. . It is a long time until the elec­ tion next year, but politics is be­ ginning to warm up in state and nation. At thts distance it would seem that Tohn Nance Garner is a- way ahead in the democratic presi­ dential race, while Cordell Hull is second and Jim Farley a poor third. On the Republican side Charles Taft, Tom Dewey and Vandenburg seem to be in the front ranks. Lots of things can happen before ti e National Conventions are held a year hence. The Davie County Home Demon­ stration Club was host to more than 4 0 0 members of the Sixth District Conference of North Carolina Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs, which met in this city last Wednesday. This district is com­ posed of s i x counties, Davie, Forsyth, Stokes, Su-ry, Yadkin and Davidson. The iadies seemed to enjoy their stay in our littlecity. and it was indeed a pleasure to have them with us. We trust that they will come again. We understand that certain news­ papers are sending free copies to certain sections of the county and not charging any subscription. The Records sends ont a few sample copies occasionally, .but so long as we have to pay our paper, ink and labor bills, we cannot give our paper away. We are glad to send sam­ ples on request, but cannot send them to the iam e people month after month without charging for them. The good citizens of the county do not expect to receive a newspaper without paying for it. The Friendly Baok Club The Friendly Book Club, of Cans. R.

It was here that Cllnt Jdriss picked her up. Cltot tens bis story to the Inspector and Mrs. Tope. They communicate with the police, who are told by the family doctor that Kitty Leaford died of an overdose of sleepkul Powders. CUnt and the Inspector are not satisfied and M!Tmther investigation In necessary. When CUnt and Tope drive back to Kenesaw HlU they find Inspector Heale and the medical examiner, who also reports the death due to an overdose of the powders. He becomes angry when Tbpe lnttmates that queer circumstances surround Uie death. After returning home June ran to see Uncle Jlm and told him of her mother’s death. There Cllnt and the Inspector visit them. Cllnt returns to the house vrith June, and tells her that he will call her soon. Before they leave Tope questions the girl ccmcemlng the powders. Tope finds that the theory of the overdose Is not logical. It Would take more powders TOur Kitty Leaford knowingly took to kill her In such a short time. CHAFTEB V H -ContiDiiea —7— HeaIe had na more than finished giving instructions when Doctor Cabler arrived. The physician was a small man, grizzled, a little bent, bis shoulders surprisingly heavy, with a steady, severe eye. After the introductions. Inspector Heale put the. case to him.Tope, watching the Doctor, thought his lips stiffened and grew pale as he listened; and after Inspector Heale tad finished, the physician Was silent for a while. 'Her heart was not strong,” he (aid at last reflectively. No one commented on this; and in the end he nodded, surrendering. "I had overlooked that point,” he confessed. “Yes, gentlemen, it must be true!”"You mean she must have tad more than four tablets?" Heale asked. "Unquestionably,” Doctor Cabler agreed. "To die so quickly.” Inspector Heale said seriously: "You understand. Doctor Cabler, this gives her death the look of mur­ der."Doctor Cabler nodded slowly. “It seems incredible,” he declared. ’And yet—there is something terri­ ble in those houses up there. Mrs. Bowdon rules them ail. She has something massive In her, some­ thing like a crushing weight. “How about MT. Bowdon?” In­ spector Tqie asked; and Doctor Ca­ bler said guardedly: “He surrendered years ago. He is not at all well. His heart plays ugly tricks, and his blood-pressure is very high. He has not long to live.” And he added: "I have some­ times thought it was his imminent death which oppressed them ell.” The Inspector nodded. . "I don’t want to come right out and say ’murder,* Doctor Dabler," he ex­plained. "But we want to look around inside the house. Mrs. Tope here suggested that they would all go to the funeraL If they do, the house would be empty then.” Suddenly, then. Tope asked: "Doctor, can tills drug be bought by anyone, without prescription?” "From a friendly pharmacist, per­ haps. By some subterfuge.” "Mrs. Leaford had used it long?” "Four or five years. I supplied it to her myself. She did not even know the name. I gave it to her in plain bottles, without a label, so that She would not know what it was. This was for her own protec­ tion. Shecouldnotsecureitexcept through me." ‘If someone wished to poison hep," Tope suggested steadily, 'ttat person might have stolen tab­ lets out of her bottle, one at a time, over a period of-weeks, without the theft being noticed. So he would have them when the time came.” ‘Beadily,” the Doctor agreed. "I urged Mrs. Leaford to keep a count of the tablets She took; but die was careless and impetuous. She took an overdose once before. Thnee tablets. It made her very ill.” "Tm trying to understand,” Tope explained, "how She was persuaded or‘compelled to take the extra dose. Were there any bruises on her lips, Doctor?" , . DoctoF - Cabler shook his head. "No, notai” ; . "W eathers any other medicine she was; accustomed to take? Bi capsules, for instance? So that •oineohe could have crushed some pills into powder and filled a cap­sule and put it with the others she tad?” The Doctor said again: "No. I know of nothing of the kind.” He rose, and he repeated: "No, noth­ ing. I can’t help you there.” And he asked in a hushed voice: "In­ spector, what will you do?” Inspector Heale hesitated. "I don’t yet know," he confessed. Bispector Heale went with him to the door. And a few moments after­ ward Asa Taine was announced. - - Tope watched Asa with a deep at­ tention, from the young man’s first Appearance. This Asa Taine—he may have been no more than thirty, but he looked older, and there was the shadow of dissipation on his saimtmn——acknowledged the in­ troductions quietly, but with a quick, appraising glance for Tope and for Miss Moss. He spoke in a slow, sardonic tone, facing them fairly. "I’m told you want to see me,” he said. "Why?” And before Inspector HeaIe could speak, he added in a grim drawl: "TO save lying, I might say ttat I can guess you think Kitty Leaford’s death was murder, so you can be­gin your explanations there.” "Well, there are certain circum­ stances—” Heale began. “Someone was in Mrs. Leaford’s room after die went to sleep.” “How do you know?”"Because Miss Leaford put a cer­ tain bottle in the medicine cabi- "Crushed with grief.” net in her mother’s bathroom, and it is gone.”Asa Taine smiled without mirth, and drew from his pocket a small square bottle. "Here it is!” ha said. There was a moment’s incredu­ lous hush; then Inspector Heale asked sharply: “How do you know this is tt?” "I’ve seen tt often enough,” Asa declared. “Where? When?" "Kitty liked to play 'grande dame’,” Asa explained. "She used to hold receptions in bed. She'd stay in bed half the day, sometimes. Bab and I liked her; and we used to go up and visit with her there. June and Grandma Bowdon did too.” "Where did you tad it?” Heale demanded. "This bottle.”"In the cellar,” said Asa. "Under the laundry-chute.” "Bow’d you happen to look down there?""Second sight, maybe,” Asa sug­ gested. “Viewing the scene of the crimet1*"What made you think it was a crime?” Inspector Heale snapped. They were all watching him acutely; but Asa Taine said simply: "Kit wouldn’t kill herself. And an ordinary overdose wouldn’t kill her so quickly. I’ve handled criminal law, you know." "See any strangers around?” "Why?" Asa countered warily; and Tope said: "!.heard there was a man in the woods back of the house this morn­ ing.”"Oh, that was I,” Asa assured him casually. "I saw you. I was afraid you'd spotted me, at the time.” xTope for once In bis life was pink with embarrassment; and Miss Moss smiled faintly. But Tope "What were you doing? Why did you hide?” "Private business,” said Asa gen­ tly. Miss Moss asked: “Mr. Taine, did Mrs. Leaford leave a will?” - “No, madam,” he said. 'Tanswer you explicitly: She died intestate, and insolvent too, for the matter of that." They were for a moment silent, and he turned toward the door; but Inspector Heale said abruptly: “Wait a minute.” "Taine,” Inspector Tope ex­ plained, "lnsnector Heale doesn’t want to make too much trouble; but he must look into this. Can you arrange to give him access to the house during the funeral tomor­ row afternoon?” The young man hesitated. He said at last: “Yes, I should say so. You can prowl all you want, but it’s too Iate now. There’s nothing left to tad.” And he' exclaimed in a sud­ den deep passion: “If she was killed, it was someone outside! They might torture her, but they’d never kill her. None of them up there."Then the door shut resoundingly behind him, and he was gone. In­ spector Tope wiped his brow, and Inspector Heale muttered angrily: "That fellow knows something. Maybe I ought to hold on to him, make him talk.” But Tope shook his head. “If you set out to arrest anyone right now," he pointed out, "you’d have to start with Miss Leaford.” And Miss Moss suggested softly: "There might be another possibility. I wonder if Mrs. Leaford’s husband is still alive? And how he felt to­ ward her?” The two men stared at her with wide astonished eyes. CHAPTER VIII The fortnight after Kitty Lea­ford’s death was for Inspector Tope a long and tormenting time; for a search of the Hurder house while tt stood empty revealed exactly noth­ ing at all. And his utmost urgen­cies failed to drive Inspector Heale to any vigorous action. And Dr. Derrie abetted him by sticking to the accident theory. The day after the funeral Tope and Clint talked with Heale In his office, and Tope said to Heale stern­ ly: "Here’s my notion, Inspector. Mrs. Leaford was about the most harmless person on Kenesaw HilL She hadn’t hurt anyone; she didn’t want her own way about anything; foe didn’t have any money; she didn’t have a thing ttat would make anyone want to kill her. But some­ one did kill her; and whoever did tt had a deep, hidden reason for doing it. And we don’t know what ttat reason was. "AU right Now if we—if you, In­ spector—pretend you don’t suspect anything, whoever did tt wifi get bold. He or she wiU do something else. That’s what you’re waiting for, isn’t tt?” Inspector Heale nod­ ded an emphatic agreement and Tope said flatly: "You know what that something wiU he? Someone else wUl be kflled, up there!” Inspector Heale stared at him. <rWhy?" he demanded. "What makes you figure that?” "Because there wasn’t any rea­ son for tolling Mrs. Leaford alone,” Tope insisted. "Killing her is bound to have been a part of a bigger scheme. If you let things sUde, you’U have another murder on your hands.” Clint listening to the old man whose wisdom he knew, felt himself cold with fear for June, who dwelt in that shuttered house where death had been a visitor. But Bispector Heale said with a slow, fretful vio­ lence: “Well, Inspector, I’m glad to have your advice, any time, of course. But I have to make the de­ cisions. You’U have to let me work (his out my own way."And they could not move him. On the way back to town, Clint saw Inspector Tope irritated for the first time in his experience. "I hate a fool," the old man said fretfully. '1And Heale's a fool. I tell you, Clint, there’s death loose in those old houses.” For the rest of the drive the old man sat silent, absorbed in his own reflections, tUl they came home to the UttIe house in Longwood, where Miss Moss tad dinner waiting. They sat long at table, going over and over the things they knew, seeking to read their implications. And Miss Moss was a guess ahead of the In­spector tonight. Tope tad reported that Heale was trying to locate Jim Giovere. “He's gone,” the Inspector point­ ed out “So Heale thinks he’s run away.’ Heale’s like one of these whippets. He’U chase anything ttat runs.” Miss Moss smtted faintly. "I may be responsible for that," she con­ fessed. "You remember I suggest­ ed to Heale that he try to tad Kitty Leaford’s husband.” And the two men stared at her; and Clint whose thoughts now turned always in one direction, cried: “You think this man is June’s father?”Miss Moss nodded."What makes you Ifaink that?” "Why else did he Uve so near, ex­ cept to see June?” Miss Moss sug­ gested. “And—why did they let him Uve there, unless he had some such hold on them?" Clint asked: "Do you think June knows who he is?” Miss Moss shook her head; and Tope said reflectively: "If it’s true, if that’s who Glovere is, and Heale finds tt out he’ll figure that Lea­ford wanted to marry someone else, and poisoned Mrs. Leaford to be free.” "I haven’t seen the man," Miss Moss confessed. "Do you think he might have done it? Remember, the front door of the house was open. Someone went in from outside." Tope sat very stiU. “No, Giov­ ere, or Leaford, or whatever his name, is, didn’t do it” he decided. “But Mrs. Tope, if Mrs. Leaford’s glass of milk that night was poi­ soned, why would anyone have to go into the house from outside? She’d drunk the milk and gone to sleep before the door downstairs was ever locked.” ~'‘Someone might have stayed In the house, left the door unbolted when he went out.” "But why?” Tope insisted. "H Kitty Leaford was already as good as dead, why?” He said half to him­ self: "Maybe they forgot to lorii the door, that night I’m going to see Mr. Hurder myself. See what he has to say.” And he added: “I want to figure some way to meet Justus Taine too, and.his sons. See what they’re like. I’ve met Asa, but not the other one." Miss Moss suggested an expedi­ ent to this end; so during the next few days dint, in his capacity as head of the Jerries Trust pretend­ ed to revive ttat old project of buy­ ing some of the woodlands belong­ ing to the Kenesaw farm and cut. ting them up into house lots. The office of Bowdon and Taine con­ trolled the land; and Clint made an appointment to see Bab, and took Tope with him. Rab met them in friendly fash­ ion, discussed the project and made shrewd comments; at Tope’s sug­gestion he led them into his father’s office, and he and dint shouted the details of Clint’s proposal into the ears of Justus Taine, and ttat man sat stolid and silent, his eyes blank, watching Tope while he heard, or did not hear, what they tad to say. Himself spoke at last half a dozen words of dissent, and so dismissed them. After Kitfy Leaford’s death, Grandpa and Grandma Hurder moved dumbly about the house, crushed and broken with grief. Jum tried to comfort and to reassure them; but once when she sought to beguile Grandpa Hurder into soms peace of mind he said in slow times: "Your mother was crucified, June. For twenty years! And I war to blame.” (TO BE CONTINUED) D octors IM scover C au se o f L ip L esions; A riboflavinosisl N am e C oined fo r I t In the future when baby refuses to eat her spinach. Mother may be heard warning her against the dan­gers of ariboflavinosis—ttat is, if she can pronounce.Two doctors of the National Insti­ tute of Health, Drs. W. H. SebreU and B. E. Butler, adopted the word which they admit is "unfortunate” but the best one they could think of to describe the disease, says the Washington Star. Ariboflavinosis, they reported, is the cause of lip lesions, which tad been marked in various parts of the world -but the cause of which tad never been determined. The disease is due to the absence of riboflavin in the diet, according to their experiments. One of the vitamin B group, riboflavin is wide­ ly distributed in nature in such foods as milk and other dairy products, meat,' eggs and green leafy vegeta­ bles. Idver and dried brewer’s yeast also-are good sources of the vita­ min. The effect of the lack of the vita­ min on human beings was deter­ mined from an experiment in which 18 women were given a daily ration of commeal, cowpeas, lard, casein, flour, white bread, calcium carbon­ ate, tomato juice, cod liver oil, syrup and syrup of iodide or iron. Later, the diet was supplemented by crystals containing sources of vita­ min C and BI to make sure tin patients weren’t suffering from any vitamin deficiency except riboflavin. Ten of the 18 women developed lerions in the lips in 94 to 130 days after the beginning of the expert* ment. In most of these cases, thi symptoms disappeared five to six days after the. inclusion of the ribo­ flavin vttamin.in their diet The doctors said that meeting tiu daily human requirement of ribo flavin isn’t difficult. A milligram of the vitamin is all that’s needed daily to forestall ariboflavinosis.

Pleasant Old Age To my mind there is no old age so pleasant as the kind summed up in the phrase "lavender and old lace”—when an experiences are blended into a misty, fragrant whole, a thing of half-tones and pastel shades and subtle flavors and sweet dignify. And at’the end I wish to be like the dying French marquise who settled herself back in her pillows, crossed her ivory hands on her breast, and sighed, "Well, it’s all been very interesting!”—Gertrude Lawrence in Forum Magazine. £SS 0 REPORTER NEWS A M .

Sprawling old houses, they were sinister and darkly foreboding. Inside one of them lived pretty June Leaford, surrounded by taciturn, close* mouthed relatives, one of whom was a maniacal murderer, cleverly striking at those who stood in the way. The ultimate solving of the mystery by two of fiction's best known charac­ ters, Inspector Tope and Miss. Moss, is one of Ben Ames Williams' most thrill­ ing stories. How they are helped in the solution of the crime by Clint Jervies, in love with June, is one of the heart* warming features of the detective tale.
