Immediately after the 1 9 3 9 General As^mWy enacted the new revenue law which provides for the licensing of slot machines played for amusement only, the manufac turers of there machines flooded the State with them, and only last week Commissioner Maxwell called attention to the fact that these were peing operated contrary to law beacnse the new licensing provisions do not go into effect until after June I, and ever then such machi nes as “pay-off” will operate a- gainst the law. Judge Russean, in Rutherford Superior Court tald the grand jury that these machines now are unlaw ful and that enforcement officials should arrest the operators and bring them into sourt. It doth not appear that the Rutherford docket has been unusually crowded beacufe of a renewed iuterest on the pait of officials. June 1st is too near to warrant much preaching about what ought to be done about this present law- breaking, but apparently the slott ers are all set and r’arin’ to go, and one does not have to be the son of a-prophet to perdict that after that, time, a slot machine will be a slot machine in the eyes of the officers, with liitle differentiation about their amusement exclusiveuess. The program is favorable to the slot machine distributors and op erators: The State does the licen sing; the deputy tax collectors will be confused in drawing the lire between the pay off and the amu seinent kinds, beacuse the makets have all sorts of schemes for evad ing the law. At best it will be months before the machines are labeled so that local officers may tead and act, and in that time legal and illegal machines will have be come entrenched, and there will be the inclination, even on the part of the public, to say “ what’s the use? ’ If tiie General Assembly just couldn't Itt the Flanagan law alone; if the need and craving for license fees was so urgent, it would have been just as well, if not better, to release all of them under a license that would confiscate nearly all their intake. For in 'the end all of them will be operating anyhow, Ii cense or no license,—Statesville Daily. A Parable. (Charlotte Observer) We quote from the Associated Press: •Jack Wilson poison ivy cure prov ed worse than the ailment. In an attempt to cure the external afflicti on caused by contact with the ivy, he made and drank a brew of its leaves. Now he is in the hospital. Poor Jack, we instinctively remark was very silly!

As silly, for that matted, as a government that undertakes to bor row itself out of debt or tax its people into prosperity. Let Europe Alone. This is a good time not to go ab road looking for trouble —there is too much trouble there to be had for the looking and we have enough troubles of our own right here al home. Helping the farmer save his farm from foreclosure, getting jobs for the ten million unemployed in the cities, and balancing the na. tion’s budget is enough to keep all of us busy for awhile. Senators, Congressmen A congressman is a member of . the congress of the-United States, j The congress consists of the senate , and the kouse of representatives. However, it is customary in this cotmtry to apply the name congressman especially to members of I Uie house of representatives. A Nation Of Beggars. There is now every indication that the recent economy drive in congress was made of the same stuff of which all economy drives in recent years have been made— ballyhoo and buck passing. This is a paradoxical situa'ion. Ou the surface, as recorded by numerous polls and speeches, the public is all for economy. But public office holders, quick opinion, are extremely reluctant to do more than talk about it. They know that demands for economy are on Iy “skin deep” as far as the pub lic is concerned. Their constituents back home, polls aud speeches not withstanding still demand “free money” for this or that “ worthy cival project.” Economyis all right they say, in effect, so long as the next county bears the brunt of it. The next time you are tempted to curse the politicans in Wash ington for not pulling the draw strings on the public purse, just remember this: Tbe average pub • lie ofHcal won’t buck public opin ion. Therefore, until the public honestly demands economy and all of us are ready to grin and bear the.resultant pinch, the country will have no economy. Civic organization!^, local poli ticians and business men who al> vocate economy on one hand and on the other beg like paupers from their representatives in the nation's Capitol are a shameful menace to the welfare ot the country. Freedom’s Great Ally: The Bible. In these days' when democracy is being forced to take stock of her re sources, lovers of human freedoum will read with encouragement the re leases from the annual report of lie American Bible Society, whose 123rd annual meeting has just been held In The Right Direction. A Congressional Committee has concluded an exhaustive study of the Social Security taxing system and has made several commendable recommendations for cbangrs. One oi the recommendations vi tally affects the pay envelopes of more than 3 0 million workers, for itconcerns the’ kinouut of taxes that are extracted from wages. At present workers have 1 per-sent oi all their earning turned over to the government for a so-called Social Security fund even before the wages are paid. And the present law calls for an increase in the rate next January 1, to b -f liwid by additional increases until the tax reaches 3 per-cent. On this point, the committee has recommended that the 1 per cent. ratsbe ‘.‘frozen” fjr the time being, and and any increase be pospoued until 1 9 4 3. This' action is a wholesome in dication that some CQngressmenl at least, are becoming aware of the dangers of too heavy taxation, which takes purchasing power out of the hands of the public. It is to be hoped that the House and Sen ate will approve these recommen dations, but it is to be hoped even more that revision of the taxing system will not stop there. The farmer, the industrial work er, the housewife and tbe business men are burdened with unprece dented taxes that have been levied to pay the extreme high cost of runuing the present complicated Federal government. Until thi? tax burden can be lightened—and the expenses of governmet reduced —there is little hope of a real reco very. Our Bob Weeps.

One Evening in October, When I was far from being sobi r, I was carrying home a load with manly pride. When my feet began to shudder.

But “Aunt” Rose Dunn, colorrd woman of Charlotte, rated far above mention when The Observer ran her picture and led off its descriptive lines with tbe declaration that “Aunt Rose” is “goingjon 200.” But why such striking understate ment of the possibilities, when it would have been just as easy to ssy G >ing on 1000.” The smiling nc- gress pictured is just as likely tri r;ach the latter figure as tbe forme*; at le; st the difference in cdds wouldn’t be worth worrying about.

And just being a mere hundred years old, like sever al folks who have died in this coun- try in the last several years, hardly v n gets a headline outside the home paper. One of these smart city fellers did find feature story material in the death of the Lexing ton negress who was somewhere a- round 120. But even he figured that the fact of age wasn’t striking en ough to get by on its own merit, so he dressed the piece up a little by having the old lady make the claim —before death, of course—that some scars she bore on her body were left by the stars that fell on her (about 100 years ago.) The way we bad heard it from the subject’s lips was that a cruel slave overseer had beat- ei her.

THREE SHUTTERED H O U SES Iy IEN AMES WILLIAMS f WfaM-'WMU IStVICI CHAFTEB VIII—Continued 8 - “No, no,” June insisted. “You were always so sweet to Mother. You and Grandma both.” “It was not what we did to her,' the old man said. “It was what we permitted to be done.” And he asked after a moment, astonishing ly: “June, will you take me some day to see the man who lives in Ihe cabin by the pond?”“Uncle Jim?” she exclaimed, sur prised and puzzled.“You call him that?” the old man asked. "He likes me to,” she confessed. “I think he is a good man," said Grandpa Hurder slowly. “I have been wrong. I mean to tell him so.' June hesitated, deeply puzzled; but she only said slowly: “I don’t know where he is now. He’s gone." The old man looked at her, she thought, in something like dismay at this intelligence, while she ex-- plained.She had seen Uncle Jim at her mother’s funeral, in the undertak er’s little chapel where frugally the services were held, and again later in the cemetery. He was decently dressed, so that she hardly recognized him in this unaccustomed so briety of garb. She saw him watch ing her, and wished to smile, but Ihat would not under the circumstances have been seemly. * She had gone next day to his cabin In the wood, only to find it closed, secured; but there was a note on the door addressed to her. It prom ised that he would come back soon; tut he had not yet returned . . . . During the fortnight after her mother died, and for the first time in her life, June began to be happy. The girl thought this was a strange thing, a shameful thing; yet it was true. Vor the world began to smile, and in surprising ways. Clint was tender to her, but so were others too. The world, after her mother’s . death, turned in so many ways a new countenance to ward June. Mrs. Bowdon gave her a heavy sympathy; Aunt Evie told her that she was a brave fine girl. Kab made her smile sometimes with a jesting word; and her cousin Asa began to pay her, with a quizzical light in his eye, certain mys terious attentions. He brought home one day, smuggling it into the house at dusk, a flat parcel. “Don’t open it here,” he warned her. “And don’t let anyone see it. Take it up to your room. Try it on. I think it will fit all right. Try it in front of your mirror. Try doing your hair some other way.” The parcel, she discovered, contained a gown different from any she had ever worn before, the skirt dismayingly shorter than the ankle- length Mrs. Bowdon’s strict command had long since imposed. June was a little terrified at her own as pect in the mirror; but by and by interest banished terror. There were unseemly lumps which marred her contours here and there, but when, valorously experimenting, she removed her underclothing and put on the new dress again, these lumps had disappeared and left smooth and gracious lines.June hugged this secret happiness till Asa found a chance to ask her whether the gown fitted. She told him then: "Yes, perfectly. I don’t see how you knew the size.”“I’ve an accurate eye," he as sured her.She almost laughed under her breath. “I can’t imagine you going into a store and buying things like that.”He said with an amused promise in his tones: “I’ll surprise you again.” And he was as good as his word, bringing her one day another parcel. When she opened this one, she was enraptured; but it was hours before she ventured to try on, even behind the bolted door of her room, the astonishing garments therein contained; and it was days before she risked wearing some of them, soberly concealed beneath the fusty dark dress which was her usu al garb in the house. She asked Asa one day why he had fetched her these secret lovely tilings; and he said with a smile In his eyes: “A gitl has a right to them, June. If you ever want to impress some young man, just' wear that dress.” She colored richly, and wondered whether he knew about dint, and dared not ask for fear of his reply. Yet this was a delicious fear; she hugged it rapturously. She could not wear the new dress. It would be seen. But she wore the undergarments Asa had given her, under her accustomed garb. And she saw dint more and more often. One day they had appointed to meet by the river, and June was ,waiting by the knoll above the Sream when the canoe appeared. She saw in a faint dismay that Clint was not alone, and thought of flight; then she recognized in dint’s passenger the kindly old man who had come with Clint to Unde Jim’s cab in that first day.dint, when they landed, made good-humored apologies: “Mr. Tope was hound to come along, June,” he said- “I told him three’s a crowd; but I couldn’t get rid of him. We’ll maroon him here and go on upstream, you and I.” But the Inspector said, smiling at the girl on the bank above him: “I suspected that Clint was up to some thing, coming out here so much. How are you? I met you one day, remember?" She did remember, and she said so, conscious already of that feel ing of. liking and trust which Tope cotdd when he chose inspire. But she said to Clint: “I can’t go up the river today. I have to be back soon. Grandpa Bowdon isn’t well today. They might need me. But we can sit here for a while.” She tried to recall, afterward, whether Tope had asked her any questions that day; but- she could not be sure of a single direct in quiry. Yet she had found herself telling him about the night her mother died; about the anagrams, I "Fm excited,” she confessed. and her mother’s headache, and the fact that there was no milk in the ice-chest, so that Aimt Evie had to go next door—everything.Tope nodded, and Clint came to her side. “I’ll walk a little way with you,” he said. So she bade Tope good-by, uncertainly, and she and Clint went up the slope togeth er. When they were out of hearing, she said with something like a shud der: ‘I’d almost forgotten about that night.” She looked at Clint square ly. "Clint, what is it? What did he want? Who is he?” But Clint told her reassuringly: 'He’s all right. A fine old fellow.” The young man chuckled. “You see, he married Miss Moss, and I guess she sent him out to—look you over, June. She’s almost like my own mother, you know.” He was able in the end to reassure her. Before they parted, still out of sight of the houses on the hill, they planned to meet next morning at Uncle Jim’s cabin in the wood. Then she told him good- by, and saw something in his eyes, and guessed what was in his mind; and she waited, gracious and con senting. But in the end he only clasped her hand and said: “Bi the morning, then!” She went away from him up the slope, smiling to herself. It. had been easy to read the impulse in his eyes; she had seen and wel comed it She had belonged to him in her thoughts long ago. Yet she could smile now at his restraint, sure of him as she was of herself. Their hour would come. When she reached the house, it was to learn that Grandpa Bowdon had died half an hour before. CHAPTER IX June, to her own astonishment, wept for Grandpa Bowdon as she had not wept for her mother. His going touched her deeply; and die went to her room and stayed there for a while alone. Then Asa knocked at her door, and when she opened, he knew how to comfort her.“He was ready to go, June,” he said. “Don’t feel badly. And—it was just like snapping a string. No hurt, no pain.” And he bade her come downstairs. The old folks need you,” he urged. “You and Rab and I, we've got to carry them over the hump, you know."She wished suddenly, desperately, to see Clint, to be with him now; but since she could not, she smiled at Asa, and dried her tears, and went down with him, her head high and steady. Through the rest of that afternoon and evening, she carried her share of the burden here . . . The appointed hour was not yet come next morning, when June slipped away to the woods to meet Clint; but he would have seen the report of Mr. Bowdon’s death, would know she needed him.When she came through the sunlit woods, up the path to the cabin on the knoll, he was there as she ex pected. He saw her approaching and was swift to meet her. June stood still as he drew near, and she was trembling and shaken. He came toward her, his hands out stretched; and without knowing hoW, or caring, she was in his arms —and happy there. "I shouldn’t have stayed with you, yesterday,” she said, after a long time. “I might have seen him again, if I’d come home.”He urged: “June, June, you couldn’t have helped. And you liked being with me, were happy. That’s what he’d have wanted for you.” "I never was really afraid be fore,” she whispered. "Not for my self. But I am now, Clint. Oh, I am now. Afraid for me and you.” “I’m going to take you away,” he cried. “Away from all this here!” “You can’t,” she protested. “Grandpa and Grandma Hurder— they just have to have me there."Yet she agreed by and by to meet him that night, after the others should all be abed. They had supper before dark, in June’s kitchen. Rab had stayed with Grandma Bowdon while Aunt Evie ate her supper; but when his mother relieved him, he came back, and June served him, and-he said approvingly: “You’re carrying a load, June. Good lass. I wish I could give you a hand.” “It’s a woman’s business,” she told him. “You do more with them, keep them going.” “I’ve got to leave them tonight,” he confessed. “I’m due in court in Providence in the morning. It’s just an appearance, but the judge down there is a crank. And I have to see my client tonight.” When he had finished, he went home with Uncle Justus; but half an hour later he stopped In again. June was washing the last dishes. “Father’s gone to sleep in his chair,” he told her, smiling. “He’ll wake up and put himself to bed by and by. I’m going over to say good night to Mother and Grand ma.” June nodded, intent upon the dishes, intent upon her own thoughts. It was half after seven. Clint had said he would be waiting, a little distance down the road, at eight; but she had no hope of com ing to him so soon. Grandpa -and Grandma Hurder were in the sit ting-room; and once she looked in on them. They had not heard her approach; and Grandpa Hurder was just leaning over to pat Grandma’s hand where it lay on the arm of the chair; June watched and her throat swelled with tears unshed. And then Asa came in. “Any water hot, June?” he asked.’ “I’ve got to have a cup of tea.” He sat down while she put the kettle on the stove, talked to her casually till it boiled. She found a tea-ball, and he brought a milk-bottie half empty from the ice- chest, and poured a little milk into the cup. “There isn’t any cream,” she said. “I’m sorry.” “Milk’s all right if you use enough of it,” he assured her, smiling in that dry way he had. "That’s the way with most things, June. Too tittle’s starvation; too much is as bad. But enough’s all right.” He drank in little sips, watching her. “You’re like a rosebud, swelling as it gets ready to bloom.” And he declared: “Hey, you're blushing, child. High time you heard some pretty things about your self, if your own cousin can make you blush with a compliment.” He put his arm around her, kissed her cheek. “How about this Jervies fel low?” He saw her start with dismay, and laughed, and promised: "I won’t say a word.” He disappeared. Later Aunt Evie came into the kitchen. “Those old folks won’t sleep a wink," she said gently. “I’m going to give them some milk.” She saw the bottle where Asa had left it, and poured the milk into a stew- pan, scratched a match.June was suddenly cold with re membered terror. She told hersell she was a fool, a fool, a fool. People had drunk warm milk before!Rab came in from out of doors, wet with the increasing rain; he crossed to where Aunt Evie stood by the stove and embraced her. “ ’Night, Mother," he said. ‘Til be back by noon tomorrow.” “The funeral is at four,” she told him evenly. “I know,” he assented. “I’ll be here." He grinned at June. “Good night, kid.” Aunt Evie poured the milk into two glasses, and June went with her into the other room. The girl was full of a great ten derness for these old folk. Under Aunt Evie’s calm insistence they sipped their milk obediently; they set the empty glasses by; they lay down to sleep like children, side by side.June took the glasses, started to ward the kitchen to wash them. Be hind her she heard Aunt Evie say: “No. I’ll leave the windows closed. It might rain in. And you don’t need any air. You’ll be asleep so soon.” She was always thus calmly bent upon having her own way; when she came back into the kitchen, she looked at the girl keenly. “You all right, June?” she asked. “Oh, yes," June told her guard edly. "You must go to bed,” Aunt Evie directed. “As soon as you are done here. Good night, child." Her hands flying, she. slipped out of her clothes, changed swiftly into the. dress Asa secretly had given her. She stood for a few minutes before the mirror, busy with her hair. At last she was satisfied. Some one radiant and lovely looked back at her from the mirror there. She turned out the tight at last, and in the darkness descended to the lower hall. She found a heavy coat and drew it on, then opened the front door. A gust of rain wet her cheek, and she remembered another night when she had thus gone running to meet Clint. But then she did not know he was waiting. It was deeply content ing to be sure tonight that he would meet her here. “Darling! You’re shaking all over!” “I’m excited,” she confessed, laughing softly. “I—never did this before, and I’ve got a new dress on.” He kissed her again, and she confessed: “And I thought of the night Mother died. It rained then too, remember. So I was scared.” “Not scared now,” he urged, and held her close. “Never with you,” she promised him.So presently he put the car in motion, allowing it to coast silently down the hill. Another car overtook them from behind and passed at speed;Neither Clint nor June would re member, afterward, much about the motion-picture they saw that eve ning. In the dim obscurity of the theater, their eyes were much more often turned toward each other than toward the screen. And after a time Clint whispered: “Are you lik ing this? I think it’s dull.”She smiled at him. “I don’t think it’s dull,” she said. “You see, it’s Almost the first one I ever saw.” I TO BE CONTINUED) W l w t t o E a t a n d W h y C.

The oak-stained autumn sky. Wind in the sassafras sprouts. The great skies that sweep over the W-Hollow and the stream sings a song: “It was when you were young here that the hollow looked like a fairyland to you. It was the scene of your childhood. You can remember the martins around the boxes in early spring fighting the English sparrows. You remember Uncle MeI used to throw clods out of the garden at the spar rows and try to run them out for the martins. You remember the bee stands under the plum trees and the bees working on the white pium blossoms! “You remember the flags by the W-Branch in white, purple and yel low blossoms and the bees working- on them. You remember the smell of the hot young corn in the tittle bottoms—and you remember the watermelon patch and the creek where you left your clothes when you went in swimming by the syca more. “You owned the hills then—all of the W-Hollow— but you didn’t have a deed for those wooded acres with its millions oi wild flowers and its foxes, rabbits, squirrels, turtles and terrapins. It was a heaven here to you. The sun caime over the tim bered hills in the morning—ran down a blue pathless sky and dragged a patch of red in the long summer evenings over the green chestnut trees on the ridge. “You remember it was heaven to you, a paradise of earth where there was poetry on the ground, the nod ding flowers, the green hair of April! It was a heaven of childhood with the log shack and stumbling bams and cornfields. But time came -by and stole that far-away fairyland from you!”—Jesse Stuart, Kentucky Poet of W-Hollow, in the Southern Literary Messenger. The Seven Wonders The generally accepted list of the seven wonders of the world is this one: The pyramids of Egypt, the hanging gardens of Semiramis at Babylon, the temple of Diana at Ephesus, the statue of Zeus by Phid ias, the tomb of Mausolus, erected by his wife, Artemisia, at Haticar- nassus, the Pharos, or lighthouse, of Alexandria, and the Colossus el Rhodes. By C- HOUSTON.GOUDISS F T H E R E is one m eal th a t c an b e reg ard ed as m ore im por- - ta n t than any other, th a t m eal is breakfast. Itc o m e sa fte r th e longest fa st and precedes a m ajo r portion of the day’s w ork. T hirteen hours elapse betw een a 6:30 supper and a 7:30 b reakfast, and th e body engine requires a new supply of fuel before the daily activities a re begun. Y et a ll too frequently this first m eal is inadequate in food values, and is gobbled in h aste . . . w ith consequences' th a t m ay have a far-reaching effect upon health. Men who set forth after a meager breakfast are ticked be fore the day’s work is started. They never seem to get into high gear and they lack the ener gy to perform their tasks efficiently. Homemakers who find themselves fa- tigued and irritable R before the mom- t i H ing’s work is com- ■ L r l pleted may be surprised to learn that their lassitude is due to a skimpy breakfast. And children who go to school after an insufficient morning meal cannot hope to make good grades in their studies. They fatigue quickly, find it dif ficult to concentrate and easily be come cross. Moreover they are apt to experience hunger pangs during the middle of the morning; and when it is time for the noon meal they will either eat too much or will have lost their appetite, thus disrupting the entire food program. S tarting the D ay R ight It is therefore essential that every homemaker recognize the necessity for providing a substan tial and satisfying breakfast. This is not difficult to do; nor is it nec essary to spend a great deal of time in its preparation. When I hear such complaints as “My family won’t eat breakfast” or “They’re simply not interested in food in the morning,” I suspect that the menus are dull and monotonous; and perhaps mem bers of the household have the bad habit of sleeping so late that there is no time to eat properly. Both situations are easily rem edied, and they are closely linked. For if the breakfast menus are made sufficiently attractive, it won’t be difficult to persuade every member of the family to rise a little earlier in order to enjoy a substantial, unhurried meal. A M odel B reakfast A well balanced breakfast in cludes fruit or fruit juice; cereal; an egg or bacon; bread or toast; and milk, cocoa or cereal bev erage for the children, with cof fee for the grown-ups. The egg or bacon may be omitted occa sionally, for an egg may be in cluded in some other meal during the day. But cereal In some form' is usually the mainstay of the breakfast menu, and there are many kinds from which to choose —both hot cereals and cold cereals. H ot or Cold C ereal Some people have the notion that cereals must be hot in order to be nourishing. This is a fallacy. For the nutritive value of a cereal is determined by the grain from which it is made and by the manufacturing process—not by wheth er it Is hot or cold. It is desirable to give whole grain cereals a prominent place in the diet. This rule can be followed even when cold cereals are used. For there are many nourishing ready-to-eat cereals made from substantially the whole grain. These appeal to the palate because they are so crisp and appetizing. And they supply important minerals, a good amount of vitamin B and some vitamin G, in addition to energy values. A Cold C ereal Analyzed It’s interesting to analyze a pop ular ready-to-eat cereal, made from wheat and malted barley. We find a wide assortment of nu trients, including protein, energy values, phosphorus for the teeth and bones; iron for building rich red blood; and vitamin B which promotes appetite and aid3 di gestion. It has been estimated that a serving of this cereal— three-fourths of a cup—with one- fourth cup of whole milk, will provide an adult with 7 per cent of his total daily requirement of protein; 11.5 per cent of his calcium, 1 1 .2 per cent of his phosphorus; 9.75 per cent of his iron, and a total of 125 calories. V ary the M ethod of Serving To help make breakfast inter esting, vary the cereal from day to day. Or offer a choice of sev eral kinds of packaged ready-to- eat cereals and allow each mem ber of the family to select the one he prefers. Vary the fruit also. And occasionally you may com bine fresh, canned or stewed fruit with cereals to make a “cereal sundae.” Further variation may be introduced by using brown sugar or honey In place of white sugar. And on occasion the cereals may be baked into muffins, waffles or pancakes. It is also possible to serve the eggs in many different forms— poached, baked, scrambled or in a plain or puffy omelet. If these suggestions are followed, it should be a simple mat! ter for homemakers to servo, tempting wholesome breakfasts that will send their families away from the table well fitted for the day’s activities.O—WNU—Cr Houstoa Goudlss—1939—69.

Its springbasc, the distance between front and rear suspension, is 123 inches. Seats are toward the center, perfectly balanced. The car does not bob or dip and can have very little sway. • • • These four points — power, strength, safety, comfort — are by far the most important essentials in any motor car. They form the basic value of your investment. W ith this solid foundation to build, on, the Ford V- 8 has been made beautiful, spacious, easy to drive. It is richly upholstered and has all the modem features which add to the lux ury and pleasure of motoring. You can see these things when yon take a trial drive, but do net forget that the main value is in the things you do not readily see — quality of materials, precision of manufacture, fundamental engineering. s Z V s s * * .

PARTON N EW YORK.—The muezzin from his tower cries that he can’t ex actly say that everything is all right, but it might be worse and it probably will be bet- H is R estrained ter. That would O ptim ism H its be Col. Leonard A C h e e rfu lN o te p ■ Ayres of Cleveland al laying fears of a bear market, in his monthly business survey, a periodic voice as authoritative as any noon tide bulletin from the minarets of Cairo. Colonel Ayres, vice president of the Cleveland Trust company, was a school teacher for many years, and is the author of a book called “The Measurement of Spelling Abil ity,” one of about a dozen of his books on educational subjects. He has written a similar number of books on business and finance, and, in his entire range, from spelling to selling, he has never overlooked detail and he is no offhand prophe- cier—prophecy being his mam line, as contrasted to that of mere market analysis. He has logged eight major de pressions and eight cycles of in flation and deflation, and he gets the feel of the thing, in about the same way a good cook gets the feel of a cook book. He was one of the few financial experts who saw the 1939 blizzard coming, and said so. On October 3, 1928, he wrote: "The golden age of American business has come to an end.” Nobody was paying much atten tion to the muezzin then. He kept on repeating that the condition of finance was “thoroughly unhygien ic,” but the wind wasn’t right and the words didn’t carry down to the market place below. A native of Niantic, Conn., Colonel Ayres was educated at Boston university, later garland ed with a chaplet of honorary degrees from other colleges. He taught school at Rochester, N. Y., and at Puerto Rico, and in the latter engagement turned his spare time to statistical re search, with such success that he became statistician for the A. E. F. in war days—hence his title. Previous to taking over the banking post in Cleveland, he was a director of education for the Russell Sage foundation, and he had rounded out his career as an educator nicely before start ing another in finance. In be tween the two work zones, he wedged a book, “The War With Germany,” written in 1919. IN THE depth of the depression, a group of Wall Street financiers hired an economist to draft for them a shock-proof and slump-proof plan . for the invest-Sino B usiness ment of their Sagacity Seem s surplus funds, H ighlyP lausible to assure them security in their old age. After diligent research, their adviser found that no such plan was possible, but suggested as an alternative that they put their money in the keeping of some sagacious Chinese financier. - This writer recalled then that sev eral of the shrewdest business men in this country, including Edward Bruce of the fine arts division of the treasury department and the late William R. Murchison, had learned about the care and nurture of money from the Chinese sages of the abacus, and now comes Richard C. Patterson Jr., also schooled in .business in China. He retires as assistant secretary of commerce to take a private post. Back from China in 1927, with half of his allotted span of years still ahead of him and a sizable fortune already in hand, he wished to put in the rest of his life being socially useful. He was commissioner of corrections of New York city until 1932, given a big hand for his effectiveness on the job. Just a year ago, he became a sort of liaison officer between the de partment of commerce and the nation’s business. In this capacity, he urged a friendly get-together in an “economic clinic,” as he thinks part of our trouble is due to a lack of basic facts and sound understand ing of economic and business forces. He was a Nebraska farm boy, routed through the University of Nebraska and the Columbia School of Mines to a successful professional and business ca reer, first, as a mining engineer with the J. G.

The ship on which he set out for America was wrecked off the coast of Scotland and he was one of only three survivors. Undaunted by this experience, the boy set out again. Au Atlantic gale drove this ship upon a reef off the Carolina coast and Shields, who had been aloft, was thrown to the-deck with both legs broken. The boat was wrecked but by an almost miraculous chance he was rescued by a passing vessel. After recovering from his injuries, he enlisted in the army and fought in the first Seminole Indian war in Florida, after which he headed for the new state of Illinois. There he made a living for a time by teach ing French in the French village of Kaskaskial Then he studied law, soon passed the bar examinations and within a few years was successively elected, representative in the legislature, state auditor and justice of the Illi nois Supreme court. At the out break of the Mexican war he raised a regiment and fell desperately wounded at the Battle of Cerro Gordo. Chosen United States senator from Illinois he served for six years, was defeated for re-election and moved to Minnesota where he was again sent to the senate. At the outbreak of the Civil war he was made a brigadier-general and was again desperately wounded in bat tle. But he survived and was again elected to the United States senate —this time from Missouri. When he died in 1879 Shields had the distinc tion of being the only man in Amer ican history who had served as sen ator from three different states.• O * Patriot and Painter Q EN. GEORGE WASHINGTON, besieging the British in Boston wanted accurate drawings of the enemy’s positions. So a young Con necticut Yankee volunteered to get them. He crept close to the British lines and made sketches which pleased the commander so much that he made the young fellow a colonel and his second aide-de-camp. The young colonel next served as adjutant-general to General Gates and in 1778 accompanied General Sullivan as a volunteer against the British in Rhode Island. When this expedition proved unsuccessful, he resolved to give up soldiering. He went to London to study under Benjiamin West and soon became the favorite pupil of that great painter. When Maj. John Andre, the British adjutant-general in America, was caught and hanged as a spy, the young painter seemed to the British the logical man to be used for reprisal. So they put him in prison. Instead of protesting, the truculent young Yankee boasted that he had been an aide to that “arch rebel,” George Washington, and was proud of it. Only the intervention of his paint er friends, West and Copley, saved him from hanging. Lucky for America that they did! Otherwise John Trumbull might never have lived to paint such great historical works as “The Battle of Bunker Hill,” "The Signing of the Declara tion of Independence,” and “The Surrender of. Cornwallis at York- town”!• * • Franklin’s Nephew W HEN Benjamin Franklin sent “ 'h is 19-year'-old nephew, Benja min Mecom, to Antigua in the Lee ward islands in 1752 to run the newspaper he had established there four years earlier, he wrote to his sister, Jane Franklin Mecom: “That island is reckoned one of the healthiest in the West Indies. My late partner there enjoyed perfect health for four years until he grew careless and got to.sitting up late in taverns which I have cautioned Ben ny against.” Presumably Benny followed his uncle’s advice but he was too much of a Franklin not to be restless. He soon became dissatisfied, even though Franklin increased his share of the profits, and wanted to “go it on his own.” So Franklin sold him the press which he moved to Boston. There in 1758 he issued the first separate edition of Franklin’s “Father Abraham’s Speech," later famous under the title of “The Way to Wealth.”Unfortunately Benny didn’t apply its lessons to himself. He became something of a fop, strutting around in fine clothes instead of sticking to work. Failing to prosper, he moved the press to New York in 1763 but had no better success there. Then he went to New Haven where he rented a press from Postmaster Parker, whose deputy he became. But he failed to make good there, as he did later in Philadelphia and Burlington, N. J. Benny Mecom had inherited his uncle’s name but node of his genius for making a success. Finally about 1776, he went mad.® Western Newspaper Union. C ornell E xperim ents Show Benefits o f Plan. By L. M. HOKDCentralization of buildings and op erations to save travel, time, and labor is the main idea in planning a modern poultry plant, according to experiments in Cornell university’s poultry department.In a study of “chore routes” made in Oregon on 125 farms, it was learned how much time is spent and the distance traveled in a year going to and from the laying house, the brooder house, and pullet range.Poultrymen who traveled the least, going to and from the laying house, covered 62 miles a year and took 37 hours for the chores. Those who traveled the most covered 450 miles in 270 hours. The long distance group traveled from seven to fourteen times as far as the short- distance men. As a rule all permanent buildings should face toward the south and be on land that slopes gently in the same direction. They should, how ever, be far enough below the crest of the hill to be protected from strong northern and western winds. If woodlands or orchard are on the windward side, so much the better. The ideal plan for a rearing range is to allow enough land for a three-year rotation system. One to three acres of land should be al lowed for each 500 growing thickens. K arakul Sheep R aising O f Q uestionable W isdom Stockmen interested in raising karakul sheep should compare the karakul industry with the regular sheep industry before making their investment, says Con S. Maddox, Washington State college extension animal husbandman. One of the best ways to learn about the industry is to visit farm ers who have been in the business for at least four or five years and find from them the prices they re ceive for lamb pelts, the clip from ewes, the percentage of lambs produced by the krrakul as compared to farm flocks of sheep, the price of breeding stock, and the prices received for mutton lambs. Some southern Idaho breeders are reported to be saving their karakul lambs for marketing just as they would regular mutton lambs, instead of marketing the pelts. Those wish ing to obtain breeding stocky could probably buy these lambs at fat- Iamb prices'. Because of its limited use, karakul wool usually sells for one-half to three-fourths the price paid for good quality wool, according to research done by the United States depart ment of agriculture. Stallions Should B e G iven T he B est F eed R ations The choicest, soundest feeds should be reserved for a valuable sire. Main reliance will be placed on oats, bran, and light-mixed clover and timothy or timothy hay. A few ears of com are of benefit to a stallion that is inclined to keep thin. Clean pasture grass during the season and carrots when grass is not available are valuable aids in promoting health. The heavily used stallion requires as much feed as a hard-worked horse. A healthy, vigorous, muscular condition is greatly to be pre ferred to a soft, flabby, overdone condition. A stallion that loses weight rapidly during the breeding season is not likely to be a sure breeder. It is preferable, if possible, to start the season with the stallion in a lean condition and increase his weight a little during the season. The extreme fitting to which some stallions are subjected in being prepared for the show-ring has some times been a detriment to their fu ture value as sires.

FAUL SOLVES CHURCH PROBLEMS LESSON TEXT—I Corinthians 1:1-2. 10, It; 4:14-21; I Thessalonlans 5:12-15.. GOLDEN TEXT—Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ.—Philippians 1:27. Victory over the destructive pow ers of sickness is achieved by an orderly attack of the problem. The doctor first makes a study of the condition of his-:-patient, observing not only the outward symptoms, but the general condition of the body. He proceeds to isolate and identify the evil forces which are causing the disease, and tben he is ready to apply his curative remedies and procedures. The Church is sick today even as it was in Paul’s day. We are in need of the sound advice and the effective example of “Doctor Paul” and therefore do well to apply to ourselves and to our. churches the lesson of today. As we do this hon estly we may find in ourselves that which is making our own church weak and ineffective. Let us apply the cure even though the process ocf healing may be a painful one. I. The Condition. What’s wrong with the Church? The excerpts from the letters of Paul which make up our lesson re veal three; fundamental difficulties which exist in essentially the same form today. 1. False ,Teachers (GaL 3). This passage is.: a part of our lesson al though no( included in the printed portion. R tells us of Paul's mas-' teriy 'dealing—until -false teachers. Erroneous' teaching and the substi tution of the philosophies of men for the Word of God are respon sible for much of the trouble in the Church. It is decidedly not a matter of indifference what your pastor teaches, what your Sunday School lesson helps teach, anfi what your Sunday School teachers present to their classes. 2. Divisions (I Cor. 1:10). Some times these occur over doctrine, sometimes over church procedure, but all too often over the most insignificant things: Frequently they center around personal likes and dislikes. Cliques and little closed groups have no place in the Church. Man-worship in place of. the worship of God will also wreck a church. - 3. Contentions (I Cor. 1:11). For some unexplainable reason the peo ple who love a fight seem to want to do their fighting In the Church.' II. The Cause. The internal troubles of the Church cannot be blamed on its tes timony or on its responsibility in the world, and certainly not on its Lord. The real cause of the Church’s problems will be found in men and women who are not living as they should. 1. The Contentious (I Cor. 1:11). These are the fighters. 2. The Puffed Up (I Cor. 4:18). They have an exaggerated idea of their own importance.3. The Disorderly (I Thess. 4:14). Unruly and erratic folk trouble the Church. 4. The Faint-Hearted (I Thess. 5: 14, R. V.). Timid and uncertain in dividuals limit and hinder God’s work. 5. The Weak (I Thess. 5:14). They are feeble in spiritual insight and power. HI. The Cure. Diagnosis and location of the cause of a disease is practically use less unless a course of treatment is carried out. Consider the steps in the treatment of the sickness of the Church and then apply the remedy.1. Remember that it is a “church of God” (I Cor. 1:2). 2. Recall and follow the true teaching of God’s Word (I Cor. 4: 17).3. Receive grace and peace from the Father and the Son (I Cor. 1:3). 4. Recognize those appointed by the Lord to be over the church as leaders and teachers (I Thess. 5:12- 16). 5. Be ashamed of ungodly mis behavior (I Cor. 4:14). 6 . Deal plainly with sin and disorder (I Cor. 4:21). The knife of the surgeon may cause pain but it is often the way to healing. 7. Warn those who are unruly (I Thess. 5:14). The word of spiritual admonition is too often lacking in the church. 8. Comfort and encourage the fainthearted (I Thess. 5:14). Un- regenerate man has no patience with such folk, but God does. A note of encouragement needs to be stressed in these trying days. 9. Be patient toward all men (I Thess. 5:15). If you feel that you must be impatient, be impatient with your own faults. Patience is a Christian virtue which has almost been lost in the dizzy, high-pressure age in which we live. Let us cultivate it both in the church anf in the hearts of believers. Great Fortune To be reconciled unto God, to possess God’s favor and friendship, to be at peace with God, is the great est fortune, bliss and happiness a human being can find on earth.

Have you seen the floral high, way decorations out on the road between Winston Salam and Mocks- ville? Foi several miles beyond Clemmons, the wire fences are cow ered with running vines which are producing lovely roses and other varieties of flowers. The first one? may be observed within the town and, with the exception of inter- vals, they continue seme di-s'ance beyond the Yadkin River. It is to be noted that the vines beyond the Tiver have not opened as early as those on this side. How ever, the floral bnds will likely be in full bloom in a week or two, it is thought. “How ni.e it would be if all ol the main highways throughout the state coaid have floral vines and bushes strung along botn sides of them,” remarked one who for sev eral years has had the pleasure of admiring similar ones which non adorn some of the front yards and farm homes in and beyond Clem, mous. the town which was named in honor of Ed Clemmons, the man who for years was the owner and operator of the stage coach lines out trom Salem, prior to the com pletion of the railroad from Greens boro to Winston.Salem.—Twin City Sentinel. Good Old Watermelons. Nothing quenches the thirst on a scorching hot day like an ice-cold slice of watermelon, says C R. Hudson of the State College Ex tension Service. And we would like to join Mr. Hudson in a hearty second. In fact, we do not see bow we are going t» wait until the watermelon season rolls areund in Gastou county. Tbe weather tor the past day or two has been just right for good Stone Mottntian and Bradford melons. Besides quenching thirst, savs Mr. Hudson, and tickling the palate, watermelom likewise contain appreciable amounts oi vitamins, thus making them a real article of food. Other factors that recommend the growing of this distinctly South ern product are the ease and cheap, ness with which they are grown, since they do not require rich land, land. Often there is a good local market for the surplus. AU kinds of livestock relish them, so there is seldom any wast. Hudson explained that ordinary sandy lo.am soil wich good drainage will grow quality melons. The rows should he six to eight feet aparc in squares. A couple of shovelfuls of rotten stable manure and a small handful of complete fertilizer to the hill well dug into the soil, as well as a gord plowing, give all preparations necessary for growing melons. Cultivations is about like that for other crops. There are melons and melons, but we believe the best watermelons in the county are raised right here in Gaston county. TbeStoneMoun tain, the Carolina Bradford, the Dixie Queen and one or two others, some known as the Middleton or Crawford melon, that are produced in this county have a reputation for tender sweetness that is far and widely known. AU hail to the watermelon and my there be a big crop planted in Gaston county this year.—Gastonia G a z e tte .____________. Fish Eating. A goldfish eating contest “for the world’s championship” will be held at Palisades, New Jersey, park this month. An announcement says: 1Tt is not the intention or the desire of management to encourage goldfish eating. Frankly, it is a silly thing to do. However, since the fad has caoght on, and since college students will be college students, we see no reason for not letting the issue break wide open, let the fins fall where they may.”—Yadkin Ripple. Small Potatoes. What has happened to the much- ballyhooed “economy drive” that was supposed to be gaining mom entum in Congress a month 01 two ago? Late news from Washington indicate that the urge to spend is still dominant —and that the to retrench and eliminate some of the waste in government is pretty small potatoes right now. Worst of all Is the apparent pub He indifference toward spending. It wasn’t so long ago that the nation was genuinely aghast when a Con gress appropriated two billion dol lars. Now Congresses appropriate eight or ten billion, bandly obivious of where the money comes from, and we take it for granted. Spend ing is like the narcotic habit—the more the habit grows. However, the AmerLan people won’t be able to continue this in difference indefinetely. The prob lem of financing the deficit becomes steadily more difficult So much of our money has gone into govern ment bonds, that the ordinaty sources of productive capital have steadily dried up. More money for government means that there is less and less money for industry and commerce. And industry paralysis is the inevitable result. We have been told lime and again, by men of unquestioned au thority, that we are snrely on the road to bankruptcy. We have been told that the industrial expansion we all hope for necessarily waits upon our chaotic fiscal policy. We have found out from brrd experi ence that capital goes into hiding and stays there in the face of tax laws that take the bulk of the profit out of commercial under takings, and regulations that so hamstring industry that it is no longer its own master. We know the sad truth that badgered, sweat ed industry can offct no /jobs for the millions on relief. We know all this—aud yet we go on spending at the"“emergency” has lasted a good many years now, has cost us tens ot billions, and has placed us high on the list of the debt-ridden nations of the world. Isn’t it about time to actually put into effect those policies of thrift anc economy which the politicians preach when seeking votes?—Union Rapublican The Mask Of Beauty. Ladies, fixing themselves up to look beautiful, may not know what chances-they’re taking Dr. Charles C. Higgins, of Cleveland, told a con ference of the American College of SurgeonB that lipstick and finernail polish often makes it impossible for a physician to tell whether a woman is sick without practically taking her apart. In 1 he old days, he said, you could usually figure out what was the matter with somebody just by looking at hor; now a Datieut may be dying and still look as wonderful as Sonja Henie. - By the time the doc tor gets her cleaned off enough so tbas he can see what she really looks like, she may even be dead.—The New Yorker. Here And There. A Communist is a person who wants to eat his cake and have yours, too. Spring is the most mysterious sea son. It comes after you have given up hope of its arrival, and IeaveB be fore you realize it has been here. An'other reason why we should love our enemies is because they give us so much publicity. An astronomer has found a hole in the Milky Way. He doesn’t know what'dq^bbpt it. “Listening to the radio will cure the toothache, declares a psycholo gist. Another cure is to have the tooth pulled. Unfortunately, political bureau crats, feeding at the public crib, are beyond reach of the poverty they sow.—Governor Pincbot. ? Birthday Dinner. A large number of friends and relatives gathered at the home of Mr. Joe Parker, near Center, on Sunday, June 4th, and helped him celebrate his birthday by. enjoying a delightful dinuer together. At the coon hour a long table was suead, centered with a large birth day cake holding 6 8 candles. Rev. E M. Avelte offered thanks to the large and leve ent crowd, after which every one helped themselves to the grateful food spread before them. Mr. Parker received many nice and useful .gifts to help him remember the occasion. The af ternoon was spent in renewing old friendships and saying goodbye’s. Every one left wishing Mr. Parker many more happy birthdays. ONE PRESENT. Clarksville News. (Ti 0 "ate for last week ) Mrs. I. O.

Al though the baby had no part in creat ing this obligation, it will be subject to taxation throughout its life to pay interest on and to liquidate it. This debt and the taxes to redeem it are a first lien on any income this baby may earn when its grows up, and in the meantime, are a similar lien on the earnings of its parents. Yet, every year, the federal gov ernment, by borrowing, is increasing this debt load on every baby to the extent of several billions of dollars And many states, cities and counties are doing likewise. Nice prospect for a baby! ___________ Artists’ Hall of FameThe Hall of American Artists is a collection of memorials of Ameri can pa; oiers and sculptors In the ro tunda ot the Gould Memorial libra* ry ot New York university. Experience. Reflecting briefly back on childhood When I lived on daddy's farm, Every care from me was lifted, Nothing there to do me harm. As I grew on towards manhood, And those childish ways declined There I caught a manlv vision Of the man I'd be some time. Finally I was plowing borses, : Too, dad had an old black ox, Was some fun to see me coursing, Dodging clods without my sox. Soon this span of life was ended, But it’s oiemoty will ne’er be lost. I could then sec bow life blended, When ’twas me that counted cost. Going on just making history, Sometimes life would seem sub lime, Then again, in youthful mystery, I would sit and fuss and pine. But I never was a coward, Not the fellow to give way; Kept my eyes ere looking forward, For a great and prosperous day. I have coped with many classes, Save the Prince and Potentate, I have friends among the masses, And I keep them on my slate. Nothing gives tne greater pleasure, In this life of toil and strife, Than to know nty friends and trea- ure Every one of them, that’s life. When my life’s wotk is ended, And my friends speak pro and con I submit that I intended, Twas more friends I'd like to won —C. M. Gore. Answer Tkis One. Three men went into a hotel and isked the clerk for a suite. “How much'.'" they wanted to know. “Thirty dollars.” he told them. So they shelled out ten dollars a piece: $ 1 0 OO $1 0 .0 0 $1 0 .0 0 $30 00 Bat after the men had gone ur- stairs, the clerk decided that he had charged them too much So he gave five dollars to a bell-boy and told the ooy to give it back to the men. But the bell-bay decided that was altogether too much to refund. “I’m gonna keep $ 2 0 0 of this myself,” he Siid. So he put the $2 00 in h"s pocket, He gave the $3.00 to the men. That made the suite cost them 9 00 a piece, didn’t it? AU right: $ 9.00 $ 9.00 $ 9.00 The bell-boy kep' $2 00 for himself. $ 7.00 $ 2 .0 0 $29 00 Now what we’d like to knot s Vandenberg7S Record Key To Platform. Washington—A look at the re cord of Sen. . Arthur H. Vanden- berg (R Micb), who bas revealed that he would accept the 1 9 4 0 Re publican presidential nomination with a one-term pledge, sbows that the backbone of his platform would be budget balancing, economy and a protective tariff. It is a political certainty now that the Vanderberg -for- President movement will be a major factor in the 1 9 4 0 pre-covention campaign. Today his name is bracketed with Sen. Robett A. Taft CR-Ohio), and District Attorney Thomas E. Dew ey of New York as leading con tenders. Vandenberg has advocated Re publican - Democratic coalition a- gainst the “ Roosevelt patty.” Unlike Dewey and Taft, Vanden- berg's years in the Senate have placed him publicly on record on practicalIy every )>olit:ca] issue. Here is a thumbnail platform he proposed in November 1 9 3 7: 1. Stop government hymns of hate against businets. Balance the I udget as socn as uossible. 3. Substituteincen ive taxation to encourage profit sharing for puni tive taxes and modify or repeal cor poration surplus and capital gains taxes. 4. Amend the social security act to stop the' “needless drain" on both labor and indust’y. 5 . Revise the Wagsrer lahor re lation2 art. 6 . Abandon the figl'-t fo r a wage-hours bill and enact legisla tion to bar interstate shipment of goods made Iiv strh -Iandard labor. 7 . Eliminate “executive despo tism” through repeal of many of the Pirsidei t’s emergcni y powers. 8. Enact farm relief without bu reaucratic controls. 9 Keep America out of war t'irough an “insulating" neutrality policy. 1 0. Abaitdoo “ all anti-constitu tional activities.” The incentive tax plan has been considered by congressional investi gators without result but Vanden- berg’s two other tax proposals ap. p.-ar now to be on the way to en actment. The wage hours bill was passed despite his protest but sug gested amendment of the social se curing act as almost a certainty. A- mendment of the Wagner laborela- tions act, however, probably will not be accomplished at this session.

They replied'curtly: We have that power, and we will use it,” President Jackson fired back. “If you have that much power, you have too damned much power away from you. It would be my sin to permit you to continue in your unjustifiable business.” Later, Jackson vetoed the bill to recharter the privately owned Se cond United States Bank. By so do ing.

Mc- ' Clure published his autobiography. As he was only 57 at the time, it was a sort of juvenile prank and probably not seriously in tended. Now, at 82, he is busier than ever, writ ing books and digging into social problems, and the word is that next September he will revive his McClure’s Magazine. Lincoln Steffens,-and others of his shining legions of dragon-slayers have passed, or else taken second thought, like Ida Tarbell, and, un less tilings change a lot between now and next fall, he will find the same old dragons still around, and possibly quite a few litters of new ones, some of them strange breeds, and perhaps a bit scalier than any he ever knew. *" Iwo years ago, the whippy lit tle Irishman, with the rumpled hair and the rumpled suit, wrote a piece in which he indicated that the disquieting noises of the capitalist system were just body squeaks and that the engine was still all right. His idea is to go on from here, instead of backing up, and it is to be assumed that will be his take-off for the re vived magazine. After 60 years of battling for civic righteous ness he concludes that the United States Constitution is a changeless and unchangeable document, which will in time set everything right if we just stay ' within its ground rules. Still crackling with aphorisms and Greek quotations in his ninth decade, he might be reminiscent—talk ing about Oliver Wendell Holmes, Theodore Roosevelt, William Dean Howells, Gilbert Parker, Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, James M. Barrie, et al. But he is chock-full of today, and yesterday is just so much ink through the printing press. All the above and many others like them were his business and social intimates. He has probably led more famous writers in leash than eny other man, - Iu i 86(S, when he was nine years Dldi his parents, of a fam ily Of farmers and carpenters, 'brought him to a prairie (arm in Indiana. He sold $1 micro scopes oh the street corners of . Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, and Chicago; worked his way through Enox college; got a $7- a-week job editing The Wheel man for the Pope Manufactur ing company, started his syn dicate, and, in 1893, McClure’s Magazine, in that other doleful day when his friends all said: "Hie funeral’s tomorrow.” He says he is just getting wound up. /"1ARL VAN DOREN denies there is any “new barbarism” in the . world and says that what ailed us is the same old barbarism. There Old B arbarism H olds.a Spell O ver V a n D y k e is a reminder of this ancient continuity in the choice of W. S. Van Dyke to direct the filming of Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here.’’ Not that there is anything bar barous about Mr. Van Dyke, but, as we recall it, he got his start help ing direct D. W. Griffith's film, “In tolerance,” which was a tolerably complete round-up of the old bar barism. That was 24 years ago, and the Sinclair Lewis opus picks up right where Messrs. Griffith and Van Dyke left off, without missing a flicker. I In the world’s fair time cap sule, Mr. Van Dyke might be memorialized as the man who calls Greta Garbo “Kid” and . gets away with it—or as the man who once spanked Lupe VeIez when she went tempera mental on the lot. They call him the hard-boiled director with the velvet touch. He is a rugged, weather-beaten six-foot er, a newsboy, miner, logger, stage-driver, expressman, gro cery clerk and laborer before he went to Hollywood. He got a toe-hold in Hollywood by selling a few scripts. At first he was one of many of Griffith’s as sistants, later one of his aces. Pro ducers like him because he goes straight through without water or feed. He used to make a full-length serial in nine days and a Western in three, writing his script as he worked. He did many jungle and South Sea films, such as “Trader Horn” and “White Shadows.” His father, a San Diego judge and a cousin of the late Henry Van Dyke, died when the boy was eight years old. Rustling hard to help his mother support the family accounts for his ver- , satility and his skill in type characterization.(Consolidated Features—WNTJ Service.) Youth Gets Close-Up View of England’s Rulers J An admirer of the royal couple made sure his little son would get a view of King George and Queen Elizabeth as they drove through the streets of Ottawa in an open carriage. He broke through the ever-present guard and lifted the lad carriage-high so he might better see the empire’s rulers. Thousands of wildly cheer ing citizens acclaimed the king and queen wherever they visited. This is the first time England’s monarchs have visited either Canada or the United States.

They like her pictures, go in droves to see them, but they feel that of course she ought to be a success— just a case of home-town girl mak ing good. They are inclined to resent her aloofness—they feel that she ought to realize that they wouldn’t dream of intruding on her privacy, and that she doesn’t have to treat them as she does the movie fans of other countries. He had several photographs of her, taken in the days when she was a hat model. They were sweet, rather simpery, giving no hint of what she was to become. Apparently the best way to make really good motion pictures is ta send an American picture-making unit to England to do the work. "Goodbye, Mr. Chips” is the latest example of what can be accomplished in that way, and it’s one of ♦ For the first time since work started on the 200-inch mirror for the giant Mount Palomar telescope, a photographer gained admission to the lens room at the California Institute of Technology and obtained this striking “close-up” of the huge mirror.

Metro sent its unit over, Robert Donat and Greer Garson turned in beautiful performances, Sam Wood did a swell job of directing, and there you are!Incidentally, “Goodbye, Mr. Chips” presents us with a new glamour girl. Greer Garson has flaming red hair and green eyes. Men think she’s gorgeous, women aren’t sure whether she is really beautiful or not. This is her first picture. She came to Hollywood from England, where she had appeared on the stage and done some work in television, ex pecting to go to work at once. She spent a year in waiting to go to work. She was seriously ill, with spinal trouble. She was sent back to England, to do her first picture, and will prob ably be sent back again to do her second, “The Doctor’s Dilemma.” Paramount thinks it has star ma terial in a young man named Bob Preston—and the movies sadly need young men who are stellar material right now, what with three heart- smashers getting married practi cally in a bunch! The trio, Gable, Power and Taylor, will still be tre mendously popular,- of course, but many a girl who has liked their pic tures is going to look about for an unmarried star to fill the niche in her affections left vacant by the marriage of one of them. So Paramount may offer such girls Bob Preston. He’s made four pictures so far (notably “Union Pacific”) but he’s had stage experience, in the stock company launched by Tyrone Power’s mother in Los Angeles. — *— If you’re a Kate Smith fan you’ll have to save a different hour for i her broadcasts, beginning in Octo- ber.

It\ [t A Revival of Hand-Grochet Sweaters Is On—Get Busy By CHERIE NICHOLAS U'OP. those who crochet or knit 1 there is no lack of inspiration in the new sweater fashions. The models brought out this season fascinate with their clever new ideas and their versatile styling which tunes them to every occasion. Now that the new hand-crochet vogue is on you will be wanting to crochet a sweater, for the vacation wardrobe calls especially for them. You are supposed to wear sweaters when you play and when you work and it has come to be the fashion to don a lovely evening sweater when you go to parties. The sweaters pictured were care fully selected for illustration be cause they reveal the latest trends and because of the fetching “ideas” that give them an entirely new and out-of-the-ordinary look. The knot stitch (a very easy, simple and “quick” stitch) is used throughout the entire sweater shown to the right. Simple in line and worked in lightweight mercerized cotton, this model sweater will be ideal to wear under suit jackets on cool days and you’ll love it as a blouse-sweater during the burning-sun days. Note the cluster of crochet flowers around the front of the neckline. Centered in the picture is shown a cool under-suit blouse hand- crocheted of lightweight pearl cot ton and featuring the popular pearl stitch. It is easy to crochet and will give lots of warm weather wear. The shoulders are unusual in that they have slit openings fas tened with three glass buttons. And if you don’t think this clever shoulder treatment is flattering, just cro- .chet the sweater exactly as pic tured, put it on and await the verdict of admiring friends. If you go in for sports (and of course you do, for the trend is more and more toward frolic and fun of life in the great outdoors) you’ll be wanting a lightweight sweater jacket, designed for activ ity and comfort. Here’s one, shown to the left in the picture, just the sort you will appreciate and treas ure the entire season and on into fall and winter. It’s crocheted eas ily and economically of lustrous mercerized crochet cotton. Choose your own color combinations, but turquoise and ecru are particularly recommended for a nice harmony. In this model the front is worked in ecru with bands of turquoise trimming the pockets, closing, collar and shoulders, while the back is crocheted in solid turquoise. The design calls for unusually simple crocheting, using only the easy sin gle crochet stitch with alternate loops front and back for the ridge effect. The field of hand-crochet reaches out beyond sweaters this season. If you will take the time to inquire at faneywork departments you will find that entire dresses are being beautifully crocheted in mercerized cottons that come in delightful col orings. There is every encourage ment in undertaking the crocheting of a complete dress, chiefly because modern mercerized crochet cottons have been so perfected they work up without bulkiness or undue weight, making the ideal garment for summer. The openwork of lacy crochet makes it the coolest thing you can wear on a torrid day. Most important is the way in which the new crocheted frocks fit and mold the figure. Dressmaker touches are stressed while skirts are made to swing with the new “young look.”(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Jingling Jewelry Still Holds Favor And still the colorful, picturesque gypsy fashions go on in a mad, merry program of jingling bracelets and necklaces, worn with sheer lingerie waists the long sleeves of which add interest to the mode. The : skirt in peasant fashion achieves : fullness via yards and yards of ma- ’ terial gathered or pleated all around I or arriving at an expansive hem line via a circular cut. 'A cummerbund in bright colored silk wound round the hips in true Romany fash ion completes the picture. The newest version is the skirt of viv idly flowered print, silk, cotton or linen weave as the case may be, together with a blouse of the filmi est, daintiest, lace-trimmed en trancing type that fancy can pic ture. Clothes for night or day wear are styled along this picturesque, gypsy technique, the flobrlength skirts distinguishing evening moods. Red Accessory Fad Seen in Style News Red hat, red shoes, red gloves is the startling news relayed from leading fashion centers of the world. A black evening frock with red shoes, and gloves and • corsage makes a stunning picture. With your navy daytime dress carry a red bag and wear red doeskin gloves. A few venturesome ones are wearing red kid shoes, and to say they carry the style message definitely expresses it. You can get black or white shoes piped in red if you prefer. The new red touches are devastating with white summer costumes. Dntch Cap Influence Cunning bonnets of Dutch Cap in spiration, not-only give new and be coming “lines” but they also stress the importance of starched chalk white laces for hats. White for Evening TT HAS come to be quite a fad 1 to wear white without even the slightest suggestion of color in the evening. In her lovely evening en semble the young woman pictured above stresses the allure of white- sans-color to a glamorous degree. You’ll be interested to know that the dress is made of a handsome linen weave for the smartest mem bers of the younger set are so intrigued with the. idea of linens and piques and swisses and such for for mats they are wearing them to their very most dress-up parties. Ihe tiny ruffles that edge this pretty dress emphasize (he charm of sim plicity. The all-white idea is main tained in the flowers she wears. A great play is being made also on chalk white, or frothy white or por celain white jewelry to the extent that it is worn with daytime dark frocks as well as with evening costumes that are white throughout.

PAUL WRITES PERSONAL LETTERS LESSON TEXT-H Timothy 1:1-6; Phile- lnon 1-7. 21, 22.GOLDEN TEXT—Study to show thyself approved unto God. a workman that need- eth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word ol truth.—II Timothy 2:15. Letters—what interest we all take in them! We go to town to get the mail, or we stop our work at the familiar signal of the postman. Too little thought is given to the possibility that our letters may be a means of blessing in God’s hand. Paul has given us model Christian spistles.In considering our lesson it is dif-. Icult to indicate specific verses, but !he reader can readily identify the truth taken from the lesson under each division. I. Remembrance. Paul did not write letters which were impersonal and distant in spir it. The warmth of a loving heart, the refreshing recollection of past fellowship, a genuine interest in the ioys and sorrows of his brethren put love into every sentence of his letters.We need to learn the art of writ ing letters. Even so-called business Dommunications may often carry a touch of encouragement or inspiration. Personal letters should certainly be a constant medium of keeping bright the flame of affec tion between parents and children, brothers and sisters, and Christian friends separated by distance. Observe that the remembrance of Paul had to do with both personal and spiritual matters, and note how naturally and easily the two blend. There should be no need of being Dffensively “preachy” in writing let ters. The personal and spiritual in terests of our lives should be so close together that we normally and without effort can put them forth as one in spirit. II. Inspiration. Who has not had the unforgetta ble experience of receiving a letter just when its cheering word was needed. Many a man has been saved from despair and possible destruc tion by such "a word fitly spoken” which is “like apples of gold in pic tures of silver” (Prov. 25:11). “A word spoken in due season, how good is it!” (Prov. 15:23). We enjoy receiving such letters— Io we make an effort to write them to others? Or do we excuse our selves by saying, “You know I am such a poor letter-writer!” when the fact is that we are probably lazy or indifferent to the needs of our friends? ; Notice that Paul’s inspiration and. instruction to his friends revolved around two points—his constant' prayers on their behalf and his faith ful presentation of the teaching of. God’s Word. If we would follow his example we must first really pray and then study God’s Word for our selves before we shall be ready to pass it on to others. III. Admonition. Scolding has no place in a letter, but kindly admonition is quite in or der. Paul improved every opportunity to urge his readers to per sonal piety,. Christian fellowship, at tendance upon the means 'of grace, prayer, and the study of God’s Word. He also urgefi- his young brother in the Lord’s service to “stir ap the gift of God” which was in him. The influence of the, world, the pressure of work, or some burden of spirit might cause a man to bog down in the slough of despend or of mediocrity. A letter from a (rue Christian friend at such a time might well be the means in God’s hand of renewing holy resolves and pf stimulating renewed endeavor. Do you think of someone who is waiting for that kind of a Tetter from you? IV. Co-operation. Friendship and fellowship are not one-sided. The very words demand the existence and interaction of two persona] beings. “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly” (Prov. 18:24). Paul recognized this, and when he wrote to Philemon he gave him opportunity to respond in loving obedience to a request while at the same time he showed the highest degree of Christian consid eration and courtesy toward Phile mon. The epistle is a “masterpiece of persuasive tact and delicacy and an enduring model of truest Christian courtesy” (Ellicott). No right thinking person is satis fied to be the constant recipient of the love and thoughtfulness of anoth er with no opportunity to recipro cate’. The smallest child or the hum blest individual who must receive help wants to show his loving ap preciation. A considerate friend will therefore open such an opportunity, not as a command or in a .spirit of expecting something in return, but as an act of Christian courtesy. God’s Own Spirit To believe, not because we are learned and can prove, but because there is a something in us, even God’s own spirit, which makes us feel light and truth as truth—this js the . blessed faith.—F. W. Robert- sc“ CHOCOLATE SILVER CASE See Recipe Below. <Qs«i i. <L I Of Course You Can Bake “I didn’t have good luck with my cake baking today.” You and I have both heard homemakers say just that—reason enough perhaps for our getting right down to cases today and finding out just what it is that makes for good luck—or bad luck— as the case may be in this cake baking business. Qf course it really isn’t a case of luck at all, for the right proportions of the right ingredients combined in the right way and baked at the right oven temperature eliminate luck entirely and assure baking success not sometimes but always. Information Please. Of course you own a measuring cup but have you looked at it critically to see whether or not it has a rim which extends above the accurate cup measure? If it has a rim, do you measure the in gredients just to this point accu rately, or clear to the top inaccurately? Do you always sift the flour once just before measuring? Do you use a fine granulated sugar when making cakes? There is a difference, you know. Do you cream the shortening and mix flie'cake with a beating mo tion, not a stirring motion? Do you level OS the teaspoon measures of baking powder, salt or soda with a knife so as to be sure they, too, areaccurate? Do you start the oven 10 to 15 minutes in advance so it will be uniformly hot before the cake is placed in it? Do you use a small, inexpensive oven thermometer for securing ac curate oven temperatures if your range has no oven' heat-control? These are some of ,the chief fac tors, careful attention to which helps to spell success in cake baking. Try them out in the group of favorite cake recipes given.below.

TELEPHONE Entered atthe PostofBce in Mocka- vllle, N: C., as Second-class Mail m atter, March 3,1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: OSE YEAR. IN ADVANCE SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE S I 00$ so Here’s hoping Mrs. Rooseveltdld not insist on tbe King and Queen of England drinking enough beer to make them tipsy while they were our guests. From reliable information receiv ed from Cooleeinee, a n d from Mocksviile merchant*, the supply of sugar hasn't been exhausted at either place, for which we should all be duly thankful. Many Davie Democrats say they have all the New Deal they can stand up under, and are onlv wait ing for the opportunity to vote for men who will turn their farms back to them, and let them make &n honest living. A citizen of this fair town told us & few days ago that the reason he stopped his subscription to The Kecord was the fact that several years ago we had some articles in our paper boosting a certain police ifficcr. Talk about the weather, but it's mighty warm these days. The dewberries are on deck, with blackberries almost ready to begin turning black. We trust that our subscribe! s who are behind with their suoscriptions, will mail, send or bring us a frog skin or two within the next few days, so that we can lay in a suppiy of sugar and crusts. Don’t put off this impor tant matter. Act at once. Yes, Davie county is going to have a good fair ibis fall. The di rectors haven't yet set tbe date, but it wiil be some time in October. The fairs have been held heretofore the last of September, but it is thought that the attendance and exhibits would be better if the date was set back at least a week or two. Begin making preparations now for the 1 9 3 9 Davie County Fair. We have been in a newspaper of fice for more than 4S years, and during all that time we have our first time to refuse to loan a fellow newspaper man anything we had in oar shop that he needed. We once furnished our competitor enough blank news print to print a Mocks, ville paDer for three weeks, and then he actually left town one night and forgot to pay us or return tbe paper. John Nance Garner, of Texas, is Still in the race for president in 1 9 4 0, despite the fact that some of the New Dealers are yelling them selves hoarse for Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt has had two terms in of fice. Despite his popularity he will not be eltcted again, even though he should be given the no. mination.' No man has ever serv ed more than two terms as' presi dent, and in our honest opinion no man ever will be elected for a third term. So far as we know there are but few, if any folks around here, who are wanting us to get tangled up in a foreign war. Twenty-one years aK0 357 Davie county boys joined the army and many of them went to Europe to fight to make the world safe for democracy. Of this number, 1 7 of the boys never got home alive. They made the su preme sacrifice, but from the looks of their mission was a failure. The world isu’t any safer for democracy today than it was before Ihe World War. Let’s all hope that this coun try can steer clear of all foreign en tan-^lements. It Pays To Advertise. One of our out of town adver tisers told us last week that he got more results from ads he carried in The Record than any other weekly paper that he usus, and his com. pany uses several weekly newspap ers in this section. The merchants who advertise.' This fact has been | demonstrated for the past 4 0 years.

Mrs Frank Carter has had ber house on Wilkesboro street painted, which adds much to its appearance. A. E. Heudrix, county game protector, tells us that it is against the laws to dynamite drifts in any creek or river without a permit. Better be careful before using d y namite.

N. C. U n c l e f e k i k S a y 5 : And Criticism, Too When you don’t know much about music, let someone else start the applause. Skepticism sometimes saves a man from being everybody’s tool. It takes a good deal of wit to perpetrate effective ridicule. Beyond Estimation About the weakest of statistics are those that purport to state what crime costs the country per capita. Occasionally we meet a man who asks for only half a ebance, but the majority prefer the chances whole. One born lazy is generally hap pily born without cupidity. Play the Game Don't ask, “Is life worth liv ing?” You have been dealt the cards. The man who wants to be good has less opportunity than the man who wants to be great. A worm may turn, but a sheep never will. P e rh a p s th e D a r k y ’s D u c k s W e r e S to r k s A salesman was rattling along a country road in Tennessee, when he came to a ford. A Negro was standing by the little stream where some ducks were swim ming. The salesman said: “Can I get through the creek with this car all right?” “Yes, suh, drive right through.” The salesman, thus encouraged, drove into the stream, only to find that the water was so deep that it flooded his engine. The salesman turned and said: “What do you mean by telling me that I could drive through?” “Well, boss, I never knew dat water was so deep.

We can drive slowly and— be together without so many people round. Unless you want to see the rest of this?”June—a little reluctantly—professed a complete lack of interest in the film; yet she looked back wist fully as they went 'up the aisle. Upon their arrival, she had not removed her coat till they reached their seats; but now in the lobby she expected some word from him about her new gown. When he said nothing, merely offered to help her into her coat, she protested: “You haven’t noticed my dress. Don’t you think it’s nice?” Clint stood back to survey her. chuckling. “Sure, grand!” he declared. He came close to her again. “But what you wear doesn’t make any difference to me, June.”“Asa gave it to me!”“Asa?” Clint echoed, frowning faintly. “Why?” She slipped her arms into the sleeves of the coat he held. “He told me to wear it to catch a young man!” she confessed, laughing up at him over her shoulder. “He knows about you and me.” Clint chuckled with pleasure. “It will be my turn to buy pretty things tor you soon,” he said happily; and her hand tightened on his arm as Ihey went out to the car. They drove slowly, Clint clinging to this hour; and when they came in front of the great sprawling house at last, he stopped and turned off the lights, and said urgently: “Let’s sit here a few minutes. You don’t have to go right in.” “I must, soon,” she urged, yet made no move to leave. They found no great need of words. They were snug in the car, the windows raised against the rain. There was a light in the rear part of the Taine house; and June said, with a ripple of mirth in her tones: “Uncle Justus is still asleep in his chair. U no one wakes him up, he may sleep there all night.” “Is that his room?” Clint asked, surprised. “No, he’s in the kitchen.” Hct tone was mirthful. “He likes to warm his feet In the oven door.” “Who’s sitting up over there?” he asked, nodding in the other direc tion. “Aunt Evie and Asa are staying with Grandma Bowdon,” she ex plained. “Rab had to go to Prov idence." They felt, rather than heard, a low rumble of sound; and Clint said: “Hullo, that was thunder. I didn’t see a flash.”“I did, out of the corner of my eye,” she told him. “Off through the woods that way.” She pointed past the houses; and she said, and he heard her voice shake: “We had a thunder-shower the night Mother died. A terrible one. And she add ed: “Uncle Justus has turned out his light. The thunder must have wak ened him.” Clint saw that the Taine house was indeed dark now; and then June cried, a sudden tension in her tones: “Clint, look!” “What?” he asked, surprised; and he stared past her. There was a faint brightness, in the shape of a rectangle, against the front of the Hprder house. The brightness assumed color; and Clint reached across the girl to lower the window so that he might see more clearly. That rectangle identified it self as the open front door of the house, outlined in red. And suddenly this dull red became bright; they saw the flicker of a flame. They scrambled out together; they started to race across the lawn. As they did so, a car passed along Uie road behind them, and Clint turned back and shouted: “Hey, fire! Bing in an alarm!” He saw the driver dimly, saw the man’s head nod. Then he ran after June toward the house, toward that front door through whioh billows of smoke began to pour. He caught her on the steps, caught her fast; for she would have gone headlong in. And she was crying: “Grandpa! Grandma!” When Clint held her, she swung to him in terror, beseeching him. “They’re in there, Clint. Oh, quick, dear!” CHAPTER X Miss Moss had never seen June Leaford, and as she watched Clint’s increasing devotion to the girl, during the fortnight after Mrs. Lea*’ ford .died, this fact sometimes .disturbed her. She said to Tope one evening: "I’ve been—asking about her, here and there. You know Lissa Thayer. I’ve spoken to you about her.”“I Imow her, yes,” Tope assented.“Lissa and I have become almost friends,” Miss Moss explained. ‘She knows about Clint and June. He often leaves his car there when be goes in to the cabin. And Asa and Rab buy gas there for their car. tbe cays Rah is—unpleasantly fa miliar sometimes, too friendly, offensive. She doesn’t say much about Asa, but I think she knows him rath er well.”Tope reminded her: “Asa went to see her, the morning after Mrs. Lea ford died. Remember? We met him in the woods, and you saw him down there."“I remember,” Miss Moss agreed. "It didn’t seem to me she was glad to see him, that day . . . You know —I’ve been trying to guess who will inherit the Bowdon fortune, now that Mr. Bowdon is dead. And Mr. Hur- der’s money, when he dies. Mrs. Leaford would have been Mr. Hur- der’s heir, you know.”Inspector Tope stared at her.“You could outjump a kangaroo, Mrs. Tope,” he said, in a deep ad miration. “You’re three jumps ahead of me.” He rose. “You’ve given me enough to think about to keep me awake,” he said. “And I had as much as I could stand al ready. Let’s go to bed.” Hours later, however, something disturbed Miss Moss. Her eyes opened and she lay listening. In spector Tope here in the bed beside And then Asa came— her was sleeping. Then she heard again the sound which had roused her a moment ago. It was the doorbell, ringing in a long peal, shrill and imperious.In a swift haste she snapped on the shaded light beside her bed and found dressing-gown and slippers. Then the doorbell rang again, and Inspector Tope woke and asked: “What’s the matter?” “Someone at the door,” she said softly. She went out along the hall to the living-room, and heard the Inspector bestir himself behind her, but she did not wait for him. She came to the front door and opened it; and she uttered a low ejacula tion of surprise and of dismay. For Clint stood there, with a girl in the circle of his arm; and they were both smoke-begrimed, their faces sooted and dirty and streaked with water. Also, Clint’s forehead was red and inflamed in a streak across above his eyes, and his eye brows were singed, and she saw in that first glance an angry blister on the back of his right hand.. He said grimly: “Miss Moss, here’s my June. I’ve brought her home!”“You’re hurt!” Miss Moss cried. She remembered to welcome the girl too. “Come in, both of you. Miss Leaford—” June whispered: “His hands are burned! I wanted him to stop and get them fixed, but he wouldn’t. Ob, take care of him.”Tope uttered a low ejaculation; he stood blinking in the light. There was a moment’s silence; and then Clint, his arm still encircling June, added slowly:"Mr. and Mrs. Hurder—we got them out; but—" Miss Moss saw June shudder and tremble, and she spoke command- ingly5j*-- *“{Mge in,” she directed; and as they obeyed, she shut the door behind them. “Miss Leaford, are you hurt too?” she asked. “No, no,” June told her. “You must fix Clint. I’m all right.” Miss Moss nodded. “Don’t try to talk,” she insisted. “Clint, sit down. Miss Leaford, come help me. Soda, I think, is as good as any thing. He needs to be cleaned up, too. And you’ll want -to wash vour face, I expect.” ~ “I don’t matter,” June said. “But Clint’s burned terribly.” Clint protested with a wry smile: “Now, sweet, it’s just this blister on my hand. That’s nothing at alL” They found in the end that he had in fact suffered no more than minor burns on his hands and wrists, and that flamtstroke on his brow. “I wrapped a wet handkerchief across my mouth,” he explained. “To keep the smoke out. Had my hat on, and that helped too.”Miss Moss said cheerfully: “You’ve ho more eyebrows now than a baby, Clint; and not much In the way of eyelashes.” She was busy tending him.Clint whispered, through s e t teeth: “That’s a lot more comfortable.” Miss Moss ached for him. He grinned at June, said then to the older woman: “This sweet kid has come to live with you for a while, Miss Moss. It won’t be long. Just till she comes to live with me.” Miss' Moss looked at June, and saw in the girl’s eyes something like a plea for forgiveness; and June said softly: “He’s talked so much about you. I know you must be hating me.” Miss Moss smiled fondly. “No, dear,” she said gently. “No, I’m glad for both of you.” Inspector Tope chuckled. “Well, now that’s all settled, to the satisfaction of the womenfolks,” he suggested. “How about me? Miss Lea ford, do you mind if I ask what happened? You mind telling me?” June shook her head. “No,” she said in a dull tone. “No. I’d rather talk, I think, than not.” She made an uncertain gesture. “I’m—I feel as though I were walking in my sleep,” she confessed. “It doesn’t seem real to me.”Miss Moss said briskly: “We’ll have a cup of chocolate; all feel better. June, come help me, will you?” She led the girl toward the kitchen, called over her shoulder: “Inspector Tope, let Clint rest till we come back. I want to hear.” But Clint said: “I don’t want to rest.” His tone suddenly was grim. “Let’s go with them, Inspector,” he suggested; and Miss Moss saw them come on her heels. In the little kitchen, while she was busy about the electric stove, Clint sat on the sink and drew June close be side him; and these two told what there was to telL “I’d taken June to see a picture,” Clint explained. “But the picture didn’t seem to mean much to us, so we left early, drove back to her house. And—parked outside for a little while. “We sat there talking awhile, and then she saw that the house was on fire.” Tope nodded; and June explained: “I must have left the front door open when I came out, or else I didn’t latch it and it blew open; be cause we saw the flames in the front hall.” And Clint continued:“So we started to run toward the house. A car passed, and I shouted to the driver to ring in an alarm. By that time June was on the front steps. I caught her just in time. She was going in. The smoke was pouring out of the door, and there were flames inside; but she told me Mr. and Mrs. Hurder were in there.” He held June closer, and she watched him with wide eyes. “It was raining,” he explained. “I wet my handkerchief in the rain, and wrapped it over my mouth and started to crawl in the halL But the smoke drove me back, and then June said they slept in the wing, on the ground floor; so we ran around the house to the windows of their room.” He hesitated, then went on: “The windows were shut, and the curtains were drawn, but some of the cur tains were on fire. The windows were all shut tight. I managed to climb up and break the glass, with my pocket-knife for a hammer. I reached in and sprung the catch and pushed the window open. I guess that’s when I burned this hand; because when I opened the window a gush of flame came out in my face, and I let go all holds and fell.” He looked at June. “I fell on her,” he said. “She was right under me. I fell on top of her.” “It didn’t hurt,” June insisted. “So we tried to get in through the bathroom," Clint explained. “There wasn’t any fire in there, so I got that window up and climbed in; but when I opened the door into their room, it was all on fire inside. Fire was spouting out of the wall right beside the bathroom door.” “The laundry-chute is there ,’1 June interrupted. “And it was roaring in the cel lar,” Clint confessed. “I could feel it hot under my feet. The smoke was pretty bad. Then a piece of the floor in front of me burned through; and then the flames licked up at me, and I had to back out and shut the bathroom door.” “But you said you got them out,” Tope reminded him. “Mr. and Mrs. Hurder.” “Fm coming to that,” CIint ex plained. “We tried another win dow, right beside their beds. I smashed it open, and smoke poured out, but no flames. So I straddled the sill and my foot hit their bed in side.” He spoke rapidly, his eyes fixed straight ahead. “I felt some one, and I dragged Mrs. Hurder up and lowered her out of the window tp June, and then him. The bed was all afire, little flames,” And he said, looking at the girl beside him: “They weren't burned much, I don't think. We were just in time. The fire spread awfully fast.” Inspector Tope suggested: “Fire department must have been there by then!" Clint shook his head. “No, they weren’t! They didn’t get there till after Mrs. Taine did. Not till after Asa did, as a matter of fact. June and I had been pretty busy, but it must have been quite a while." Miss Moss echoed: “Mrs. Taine?" “You see,” Clint explained, “Mrs. Taine and Asa were staying with Mrs. Bowdon last night. Mrs. Taine said they didn’t hear anything till their lights went out, and she went to look at the fuses, and saw the fire through the pantry window. She came running over, just about the time we got the old people out; and then Asa came. He and I car ried them into the Bowdon house, out of the rain. And Mrs. Taine and June started taking care of them. But June came out again when I did.” “Were they dressed?” Tope asked. "Mrs. Taine and Asa?” . “Oh, yes,” Clint said casually; and he went on: “By the time the fire engines came, one wing was all afire, and the other was well started; and they couldn’t get the. plug off the hydrant right away. There’s only one hydrant and that was three or four hundred yards down the hill. The whole thing went, be fore they got it checked at all.” “Burn to the ground?”, “The floors fell in.” Clint assent ed. “And part of the roof. I don’t know; maybe the walls wouldn’t go."June’s eyes were closed, and Miss Moss tried to sign to Inspector Tope to be still; but he asked insistently: “What about the others? Mr. Taine, and Rab? Where were they?” It was June who answered: “Rab had gone to Providence right after supper,” she said. “He had a case in court there tomorrow morning. And Uncle Jusms is deaf. He wouldn’t hear anything." She re- membered: “We saw him torn out his light to go to bed, just before we saw the fire.” “Saw him?” Tope echoed. “Saw his light go out,” June amended. “In the kitchen. He liked to go to sleep in his chair after supper, and sometimes he dlaln’t wake up’ at all. But we saw hie light go out.” (TO BE CONTINUED) F in d s D e ath T rees, F e a re d b y In d ian s, T rib esm en A lso C laim A id in G am b lin g “Trees of death,” gnarled shrubs which are held in superstitious awe by Indians, have been discovered in a lonely canyon. John W. Hilton, authority on desert lore, has disclosed-that he found the trees after a long fight to over come superstitious fears of Indians. The sap of the “tree of death,” or elephant tree, is believed by the Cahuilla Indians to be a deadly, poison for doing away with enemies quietly, Mr. Hilton said) They also believe, he said, that in the hands of medicine men it can drive away evil spirits and that, if prepared and used properly, it gives extra keen perception in playing pion and other gambling games. The recently discovered trees are believed to be the farthest north on record. “Knowing better than to ask di rect questions about the fabled trees, I had to wait until some dian told me about the whole affair,” Mr. Hilton said. “Finally the son-in-law of a very old and power ful medicine man claimed to know where the tree was and agreed to lead me to the spot for $5. “High up in the canyon we stopped, but the Indian, saying that the wind was blowing toward us from the tree, took a zig-zag course up a mountain so as to approach the tree from behind. But our search was fruitless. The guide de cided that the tree did not wish to be found, and we went home. "Later, however, a young edu cated Indian took me directly to the tree. “The Indian guide stabbed the trunk of the tree , and a blood-like substance oozed out.” Mr. Hilton then carefully plucked sample sprouts from the bush and took them to the government date gardens at India, where experts identified them as Binsera micro- phylla, or elephant tree. The Term ‘Kowtow’ Chinese The term "kowtow” is derived from the Chinese ceremonial act of prostration as a sign of homage, submission or worship. The word is formed from ko, knock, and tou, head. To the emperor the kowtow was performed by-kneeling three times, each act accompanied bj touching the ground with the fore head.

Sprawling old houses, they were sinistfrand 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 Jerviesl in love with June, is one of the heart* warming features of the detective tale.

Thefollowing statement appear ed in the last issue of The Davie Record and was written by the Sheffield correspondent: “ It has been almost eight months since the campaigh promises were made in the Sheffield school house. We have not yet been turned bottom side up, and not a consolidated school has been built In the western part of Davie.” I, too, live in the western part of Davie County and I was present when these statement were made to "the dear people” by the boys who were seeking our support, We were told that they would dp all they could to get us modern consolidated school house back here in western Davie. One of the boys even went so far as to say that he aimed to see that some of our roads were widened and made safe for traffic. I suppose that he ttfas refer- Ing to the road by Mr. Louico Gaither’s as it is known by all who travel it that there are a few palces that are about a one-way road. Up to this time there has not been any move towards a modern school house for our children. It looks now as if they will force our children to attend achool for at least one more year in a building that is a disgrace to any community, Countj1- or State.) It is a shame for such building to be in use in a County were there a r e modern school buildings. Tnstto be truth ful about it, we have not been treated right about the school building in western Davie. Now please don't become offended and begin to throw rocks at me until first comes and view our school house and then go and look at some of the other buiidings. Who Is To Blame? As for the roads, they are still up here and not been widened or im proved very' much. This section 1 furnished tons of stone for the I State to crush for the road bedr. I Most of this crushed stone was trucked out of this section, how ever, are Indeed glad of what thev did put on our roads. In one place they tried to run water up hill but for some reason failed to get it to work after doing quiet a bit of work where only a little work would have drained the road had they attempted to try to let the water run down hill. Since when did water try to run tip hill? Our section is hidlv in need of better roads and I, for one, want to see our Highway Commission get busy and do some worth while work on our roads. In conclusion let me say that we deserve more iD many ways that we are getting at this time. AGAIN! WHO IS TO BLAME, A FARMER Street Signs. In our travels over North Carolina we have observed that many towns are careless in the posting of street signs. As a matter of fact only a small percentage of our towns can boast of being thoroughly posted. So far as the citizens of those towns are concerned, they don’t need any signs. They know the names of all the streets and can find their way around without any difficulty what soever. But the same.thing does not app’y to strangers. When you go to a town and ask where John Smith lives, and are informed that he lives on McFarland Street, and spend fifteen minutes trying to locate McFarland Street, your opinion concerning that particular town has gone down a whole lot. It costs comparatively little to put up signs with the names of streets thereon, and it is, therefore, surpr’s ihg that so many towns have failed to attend to this matter.—-The State.

A right to plan, a right to build, A right to sow and reap. This guarantee has well been filled, Aud too, a right to speak. A right to plant and harvest too. Has been a priceless gift, A right to live our lives all through With equal right of thrift. A right to devise and carry on, A right to r«nd or restore; A right to add to, or take from, These rights are ours no more. No longer can we exercise, Our rights to build or, plan, But let a board of five devise And price the working man. No longer can we plant and reap,- Our acres are not our own, These rights of ours, to do and speak. Have trom our hands been torn. Sad we must reverse the poet's song In counting up the cost; The whole d— thing to me seems wrong, I once was found but now I’ Ji lost. —C. M. Gore. City and Rural Deaths. Cities in the UnitedStates re ported a drop of 9 jfer cent, in traffice deaths during April as com pared with the corresponding per iod iu 1 9 3 8. But in the rural sections of the coun try traffic slaughter was so great they cut the national reduction in Iraffir deaths to only 2 per cent! Obviously, here is where the great danger now lies—in the wide open spaces. Outside the towns and cities where the road is straight, the sur face hard, there is a tendency among motorists to "give her the gas.” Many do. Quite a few speed into collisions which prove fatal. In the cities tbeie is a greater measure of regulation. Speed limits are held to lower levels. In several American cities where the speed limites were materially reduced last year remarkable reduction in the number of traffic deaths are re ported. Take Kansas City whitch re potted 7 2 traffic deaths in 1 9 3 8. There were no traffic deaths in Kansas City during April, 1 9 3 9! And look at Atlanta, where the speed limit has been cut to 2 0 miles an hour. In April of last year At lanta had 3 6 traffic fatalities. In April, 1 9 3 9, it had only eight. The traffic accident within urban zones can be almost completely eliminated, if we go at the business with determination. The wide open spaces present a difficult problem. The proportion of rural fatalities over urban traffic deaths appear to be steadily increasing. In dealing with this situation the co-operation of motorists themselves is one of the most influential factors.—Twin City Sentinel. No More Songs One of our subscribers remarked recently that there is quite a differ- ence’.m the liquor we have nowadays and that of several years ago. Back then, he sayB, a fellow would take a few Bnortsof liquorand go his way singing everything from ''Sourwood Mountain” to “Amazing Grace”, while now; there doesn’t seem to be a song in a carload.— JohnBon County NewB. .

Looking Nine Years Ahead. Nine years ago the national debt had just passed the 16-billion point, and many thinking people were wor rying about it. Today the debt has reached 41 bil- lion dollars, an increase of 156 per cent—and too many people seem to take it for granted, as if it were as uncontrollable or of as little import ance as a change in the weather. If the debt should rise aB much, proportionately, in the next nine years as it did in the last nine; that is. show an increase of approximate ly 156 per cent, it would pass 1 0 0 billion dollars. And, as the Industrial New 3 Re view says, no one has yet contended that we could carry so great a load as that ‘‘without living in a Btate of permanent depression, with a tre mendous percentage of the popula tion permanently on relief, and the standard of living of the rest of us constantly dropping. One of the most disturbing things in our life aB a people today is the apparent public indifference toward a government fiscal policy that, long enough continued, can result in no thing short of national bankruptcy. Writing in the Saturday Evening Post, Harry Scherm m, distinguished economist and author of “The Promise Men Live By,” says: There is only one alarming aspect of our national debt, in my opinion— the apathy and ignorance of the American public with regard to it. The common attitude is: If the ex perts differ as widely as they seem to do. why should an ordinary citizen add the national debt to his other workaday worries; sufficient unto the day are our own debts; if some great national disaster is really in volved, poor posterity, not ourselves, will suffer it. “But ten or twelve years from now is hardly posterity. Qiite a few economists are of the mind that this short period may easilp withness an economic tornado arising from the debt if its uninterrupted rise is not permanently reversed.”—Charlotte Observer Food Sales Here Return $8,580 In Hidden Taxes. !Families In Davie County pay an estimated $ 8 580 in hidden taxes an nually through their purchases of food, a National Consumers Tax Commission survey showed today. “Nearly eight per cent of the to tal food bill represents shifted taxes buried in the price of every pur chase,” the report stated. 'These unseen levies, for example, take 11 per cent of butter costs, 6 J per cent of bread costs, IOi per cent of sliced bacon and 14i per cent of (he cost of coffee.” The report w as made public through Mrs. William T Hannah, of Waynesville, state director, who Ieads NCTC study groups in about 110 North Carolina communities in the educational crusade against “un necessary consumer-penalizing tax es.” The report added: “Chief offenders, and those that fall most heavily on lower income families, are hidden taxeB. These are levied originally against the pro ducer, manufacturer, shipper and distributor. Unable to absorb the load, each must pass on a share of its taxes and the consumer ultimrte* Iy pays them, usually without know ing it.” The commission, in whose non-par tisan groups in 4,600 communities have launched tax study programs, said the hidden and district taxes families here have to pay. The food tax estimate was com puted from NCTC averages based on last available U. S. Bureau of the Census figures which placed 1935 food sales in the county at $1 1 0,0 0 0. Government estimates of total sales in the country last year approximate the total in the*1935 study, the NCTC Sovereignty Invaded?

The State has been itching to muscle in on this fight since it’s start, and the way'has been paved conveniently to that end For although the suit that gives the State excuse to take a hand is brought by residents of Davie county who de mand a restraining order, it is ob vious that the Duke Power Company is the guiding hand in this and other actions against the city of High Point High Point proposes to build a six and a half million -do'lar dam witb federal money obtained through the PWA, and has offered reasonable settlement for the properties the water would render' useless. As is usual under these circumstances, these lands bocome very valuable, when they are urgently needed and wanted, and having obtained this federal grant, operating under a li cense bv the federal power commi- sion, and armed with condemnation powers, High Poii^t arranges to pro ceed. Governor Hoey contends that the federal power commission is attempt ing to invade the “sovereignty” of North Carolina; that “if the federal government can control the Yadkin, theu it can take charge of practically every stream in the State.” Governor Hoey is thoroughly con sistent on this point. For when a big corporation proposed to span the ‘ Yadkin at Tuckertown. and when the project was abandoned because the federal power commission claim ed jurisdiction over the stream and required a permit. Governor Hoey condemned the pr.ic.dure on the same grounds that he is now advan cing—that the Yadkin is not navi gable, and that th 1 federal govern ment holds no authority over its waters in this State, The Government is consistent in that he is employing the same argu ment in one case in which the State, along with the corporation concern ed, wanted a dam built. A princi ple is involved, and the mere fact chat the State is throwing its weight and influence on the side of two big corporations, of course, is only in cidental. It is stretching the imagination right much to contend that the Yad kin is navigable in these upper navigable in these upper stretches. But that is only implied, and the op position is working it for all it is worth. But to contend that abusing the Yadkin’s waters would have no bad effect where the rivers navigable is just as unreasonable. The federal government through its power commission did not refuse the Tuckertown dam. It only re quired a license. This harnessing is part of a flood control program, and it wants them. But the federal gov ernment is reasonable when its li cense provides against turning a great natural asset over forever and insists on retaining supervision and the power to repossess or restrain, when the license .contract has ex pired. It’ 3 a pity the State of North Carolina hasn’t been equally careful in safeguarding public equity in our streams. Far up to the headwaters of tht Yadkin, as well as other streams that have little relation to navigability, federal authorities in their study of flood control, and the national inter est in conservation, have been mak ing surveys, establishing water gauges and charting the streams. We won’t, we reckon, be challenging the federal government on these activi ties on the ground that they are part of an attempted invasion of the so vereignty of the great State of North Carolina,”—Statesville Daily.

The Class Of 1939. “In a few weeks” says the New York Times, "some thousands of young men and women will be sent into the world by our educational in stitutions. What kind of a world is it into which we are sending these graduates? It is not the economic difficulty of winning a place for self, family, home that is now all import ant but the conditions under which that place is won. To the class of 1939 democracy may be no more than a system of government. Actually, it is a way of life, of which government is but a phase. When Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia he laid down the principles of that way — the principles that schools should follow. It is the way of a free people. From his time to ours teachers have been the champions of that way-the democratic wav. It has been their right and their privi lege to teach the truth as they saw it. to review the mistakes of the past In the light of an impartial scholar ship, to give the intellect free rein. Nb dictator has forced them to con form with his private conception of what a humanist, a scientist or a his torian should,teach, or to convert the school and the college into a govern mental bureau where only one sys tem of social and political philosophy could be discussed. Yet we know now that not in many years has education been in a posi tion so perilous as that in which it now finds itself. We have seen the universities of Germany and Italy stripped of their ancient preroga tives, their faculties dismembered, their ideals ridicuhd, their students reluced to mere automata 'hat think and act mechinically. Nor is the prospect in Soviet Russia more chet r- ful. East of the Rhine, with the ex ception of the few democracies that still remain, it is the Gauleiter and he commissar who dominate the school and the university. Wcare still a f-ee people. But our freedom is based largely on what i3 taught. Ii is precisely the kind of freedom which has made it possible for our teachers to triumph over ig norance. prejudice and dogma, the kind of freedom for wh'ch battles must still be fought. If that free dom is lost our schools and univer sities will go down with those of Gerrrany and Italy, and. with our schools, democracy as a way of life. The moral is worth driving home to the class of 1939 ”_______ On The Farm. Passing along an off road the other evening we watched an old colored man come up the bil> from bis fields, hoe over his shoulder, feet dragging with an end of-the- day weariness. Stopping alongside him to pass the time of day we noted the little pointed hoe he carried, hardly a half a hand length, worn thin and sharp and fastened into a hollow iron pipe with bent nails. “ Well, Uncle, looks like yon’ve done a little digging in your time,” we remarked. “ Yes’m— years and years now me an' this ol hoe has dng them beans and corn and chopped that cotton field. That's all that's left of a good hoe and they ain't much more’n that left of a good nigger” and we parted oa his chuckle, both of us the lighter-hearted for the meeting, and coming on through the wood road home we were wondering if a laugh and a joke isn’t after all a short of salva tion in this old world of digging with worn out hoes.—Ex.

THREE SHUTTERED H O U SES Dy NN M IIS WHlMMS ConrigM-WNU SERVKt CHAPTER X—Continued —10- Miss Moss asked: “Why didn’t Mr. and Mrs. Hurder wake up, I wonder?”Clint suggested: “Smoke got them, maybe.” But June said: “They slept pretty soundly, usually. And Aimt Evie gave Uiem some warm milk when die put them to bed.” Her voice for a moment was dry, as though it might crack. She repeated: “They slept soundly.”Tope looked at Miss Moss; and then he asked awkwardly: "About Mr. and Mrs. Hurder. How—what do you think?”“They were unconscious,” Clint explained. “The firemen got a pul- motor. Doctor Cabler was there. I didn’t wait to hear. I brought June away.” Miss Moss said: “I’m glad you did, Clint. Miss Leaford, I’m go ing to put you to bed in our spare room. Clint, you will stay here to night?” June protested: “Oh, I don’t want to go to bed.” And Tope reflected: “Funny that the fire department took so long to answer." He asked Clint: “Mrs. Taine or any of them surprised to ^ee you there? Surprised to see June up and dressed?” Clint nodded, with a smile at June. “Matter of fact, we had quite a tow,” he admitted. “June and I had Mr. and Mrs. Hurder out of the house when Mrs. Taine got there. She asked if they were dead, and I didn’t know. So she knelt down to fed them, and then Asa came along, and she told us to carry them into the Bowdon house. We did, and about that time the firemen got there, and I went outside again and took June with me.” The others were listening intent ly,. and Miss Moss watched the girl and liked her. “But Mrs. Taine came out after us,” he explained. “June had on a new dress that Asa had given her, and Mrs. Taine didn’t approve of that. She wanted to know why June wasn’t in bed and asleep, end who I was, and about this dress . . . She had burned her hand, and maybe that upset her, but she was pretty unpleasant, and I got good and mad. “Finally she told June to go into the Bowdon house and take off that dress and go to bed, and I got up on my ear. I told her June was coming home with me.” June lifted her head; and Clint held her close. “Mrs. Taine thought I was crazy,” he said. “But June stood up for herself.”"I told her I never would live there again,” the girl cried, in a sudden passion of grief and woe. “Oh, I can’t go back. Ever! It was terrible, always, there." Miss Moss came quickly to her side. “Now that’s enough for to night,” she decided. ‘Tm going to put you to bed, child. Come.” “No, no,” June protested. “I can’t. I don’t want to be alone." The Inspector said soberly: “Hie Sre chief figures the fire was set. Gas exploded in the cellar.” Miss Moss nodded; and Tope exploded in' a grim wrath: “I told Heale, days ago, that when a man starts killing, he may go on.”She touched his hand, comforting him; and he asked: trWhat do you think?"She hesitated. "IfRabTainewas in Providence, and Asa and Mrs. Taine and Mrs. Bowdon were to gether, then only Mr. Taine was alone.” “They found Taine asleep In a chair in the kitchen of his house,” he said. "I asked Heale. But Glo- vere’s still missing." She looked at him curiously. “Asleep?” she repeated. “But Miss lieaford said they saw Mr. Taine turn out-the light!” “She said they saw the light go out,” Tope corrected. “Mrs. Taine said the lights went out In the Bow- don house, too. But anyway, Taine was asleep in the chair when they found him. Or pretended to be.” .Miss Moss considered. 4I should like to know," she reflected, “why his light went out?” “Heale told me once that the three houses were all on one meter,” Tope recalled. “Wired from the Hurder cellar. The fire might have shorted the wires, or melted them."“Then why did the current go off in the Taine house before the fire started?” she insisted. “And what started the fire? And why did it spread so fast? And why was the department so slow in answering (he alarm? And how did Mrs. Taine burn her hand?”Inspector Tope made a gesture of amused surrender. “I don’t know Mrs. Tope,” he protested. “Wish I did" 'Sie nodded, smiling faintly. "I'll take care of Miss Leaford," she promised. “While you find out the answers!” CHAPTER XI Tope and Clint arrived at Kene- saw Hill toward four in the' morn ing, to find the house all collapsed Into a mass of timber* through which like rats the little flames still played.' And all about, in a thin circle, curious folk were standing by. dint pulled up beside the road, and Inspector Heale saw their arrival and came across to meet them.“That you, Tope?” he asked “Young Jervies with you? Where’s the girl?” He was peering into the car.Inspector Tope said: “Mrs. Tope put her to bed. She was tired out. CIint here can tell you all there is to tell.” Heale nodded. "You spotted the fire, didn’t you, Jervies?” he asked.So Clint told his story, briefly, the Inspector listening without in terruption till the young man was done. Then Inspector Heale began to question him; and Tope left them together and walked over toward the fire. There were two or three scores of people here, roused by the alarm or wakened by the glare of the flames against the rainy sky, and come to watch the conflagra tion to its end. Tope moved among them quietly, listening to the frag mentary conversations here and there.Then he saw Asa Taine, in the shadows by the old bam, talking to someone—Lissa Thayer.Her countenance was in darkness, since Asa stood between her and the T | “This was a spare thin woman.1 fire, so Tope could not see her ex pression; but he saw Asa bend near er her, his arms encircling her in a swift embrace, his face clbse to hers. Then someone called Tope’s name, and the old man saw Lissa slip away into the darkness as Heale and Clint came to his side. At the same time Asa recognized Clint, and he approached them. “Hullo, Jervies," he said, in a friendly tone. “What have you done with June?” Heale and Tope were a Uttle to one side.“I took her home,” Clint ex plained. “I thought she ought to get away from here.”Asa nodded approvingly. “If s been hard on her here, even before tonight,” he assented. "But if you don’t bring her back, you’ll have a hornets’ nest around your head. They won’t let her get away.” He grinned encouragingly. "Stick to her, Jervies. Hang on to her. Don’t let them scare you.” • "I’m keeping June," Clint told him stoutly. He spoke to Tope, un easily. ‘Tm pretty tired,” he said. “I’ll go home, if you don’t mind. Be with them there.” • Tope nodded; and Asa turned and saw the Inspector. “Hullo!” he ex claimed in surprise. “Inspector Tope, eh?” He looked past Tope at Heale, a swift Conjecture in his eyes. Clint departed, and a fireman joined them. Water dripped from the rim of his white helmet, and his rubber coat was glistening. He said to Inspector Heale: “We can’t do a thing for hours yet. Too hot.”Asa demanded: “Do what? What do you mean?” Inspector Heale hesitated. "This is Chief Mason, Tope,” he ex plained; and then to Asa: “Why, Mr. Taine, we think this fire was set.” ‘Set?” Asa was rigid. Tope, watching him, thought the man used an effort to control his voice. Why?” •‘To kill Mr. and Mrs. Hurder,” said Inspector Heale harshly.For a long moment there was si lence. Chid Mason moved away, back to the fire. Asa stood thought ful, with bowed head. Then his eyes shifted, and he looked past Inspector Heale, and called in a low tone: “Bab!” Inspector Tope swung around-in time to see Rab Taine coming toward them from the direction of the old bam. "Hullo,” be said in a level mono tone. "What’s the matter, Asa?" And Asa told his brother: "This is Inspector Heale. He thinks the fire was set, to kill Grandma and Grandpa Hurder." Tope watched Rab intently. “Set?” the young man exclaimed. “Kill? For heaven’s sake, why should anyone—” He stared from one to another. “Why should any one do that?’’ he demanded. “Same reason someone killed Mrs. Leaford,” said Heale implaca bly; and Rab cried: “Aunt Kitty? Why, she took an overdose—” But Heale said grimly: “Oh, she was killed, all right.”. There was something like a harsh triumphant relish in his words. "Murdered, Tainel And so were these old folks tonight. Or Mrs. Hurder, anyway. Mr. Hurder may get well." * “For heaven’s sake,” Rab pro tested, “if you thought that about Aunt Kitty, why haven’t you done something before now? Why haven’t you said so before? You might have prevented this tonight!” Inspector Heale confessed: “I fig ured there’d be a better chance of finding out—”“Blast it!” Rab cried. “You’ve fiddled around with your figuring; and now— You’re as bad as—” But Asa interposed reasonably: “Steady, Rab. I guess Inspector Heale used his best judgment. After all, he couldn’t be sure Kitiy was poisoned. Maybe her heart cracked, let go.”He added: "And this tonight may have been an accident. You can’t tell.” Inspector Heale asked Asa: “Where were you, tonight?” Asa looked at him slowly, then grinned. “You cross-examined me once before, Inspector," he re marked, in a dry amusement. “To night? I was asleep on the couch in the dining-room next door." He nod ded toward the Bowdon house. “Asleep, eh?” "Till Mother woke me, yes.” “Where was she?” “With Grandma Bowdon." “Dressed, were you?”"Shoes off, and coat," Asa an swered. Rab interrupted: "Asa, you said they questioned you before? You knew what they thought about Aunt Kitty?” "They told me, yes,” Asa ex plained.Rab cried: “Then why didn’t you tell us?”But Tope, in the background, sug gested mildly: “I hear you were in Providence tonight, Mt. Taine.”Rab stared at him almost trucu lently. “What of it?” he demand ed and turned away.“Do you mind my questions, Asa?,” Tope asked.“No,” Asa assured him. “Any thing you like.” “Mrs. Leaford leave a will?” “No.”“Mr. Bowdon? Mr. Hurder?” “Yes, of course." “What were the terms?” Asa looked at him thoughtfully; and he glanced at Inspector Heale. He said: “I’ll tell you anything I can, but I can’t help you on that. My father drew the wills. You’ll have to ask him.” “Where is he?” Inspector Heale demanded. “Where was he to night?” Asa smiled faintly. “He went to sleep in a kitchen chair after supper,” he explained. “Mother found him still asleep there when she went to telephone Rab.”"Asleep through all this hullaba loo?”“He’s stone deaf, you know.” Tope asked gently: “Taine, if one of the connections didn’t do this, who did? Anyone live around here who might? Jim Glovere, or the Thayers?”He saw Asa taut and stiff, like a fencer on guard; but before he could reply, Rab spoke at Tope’s elbow. The young man had returned un seen, and he said in the tone of on« conveying an order that must be obeyed: “My mother wants a word with you gentlemen. Please follow me." Without the slightest hesitation. Tope moved briskly after Rab. Heale almost reluctantly followed him, but Asa stayed behind. When Tope and Inspector Heale followed Rab into the house where lamps were burning to replace the now useless electric lights, there was stir and movement behind the closed doors of the dining-room in which Denman Hurder still lay un conscious and near death; and the parlor doors likewise were closed. But Mrs. Bowdon and Mrs. Taine waited for them in the sitting-room; and Mrs. Bowdon was in a chair that faced the door by which they entered. Tope had an impression of mass, of a white mass that would not easily be moved. Her hair was white; so was her cheek; so was the shapeless dressing gown she wore. She sat in a ponderous immobility which had nevertheless a sugges tion of power held in restraint; and her eyes were alive and hard and cold.Mrs. Taine, on the other hand, met them at the door. This was a spare, thin woman; her thin hair was blade; her cheek was sallow; her lips were thin. She spoke in a soft sibilance, in keen syllables that suggested the slicing stroke of ra- zor-blades. “I sent for you gentlemen,” she told them simply. “My son tells me you are circulating the sugges tion that Mrs. Leaford’s death, and the tragedy tonight, were not acci dent but design. I will not permit such nonsense. If such rumors become current, I shall know whom to blame, and I will hold you both responsible. Let the talk end here and now. I bid you good day.” Inspector Tope waited for Inspec tor Heale to speak. Rab ex claimed, in a restrained anger: “You heard her, gentlemen. That is all.” And when Heale still was silent, Mrs. Bowdon said, without moving her lips: “Outrageous. Impudent audacity. Clowns.” "One thing more,” Mrs. Taine re membered. “Mr. Clinton Jervies took June Leaford away with him, against my express wish. She must be back here in the morning. We take care of our own, we Kene- saws; we ask no favors anywhere. See to it that this is done, or I shall know what steps to take.” Heale remained mute; but Tope suggested gently: “How old ia Miss Leaford, ma’am?” Mrs. Taine looked at him. Most people were somewhat melted by Tope’s mild kindliness, but she was not. “She is of age, yes,” she said calmly. “But that is immaterial. She is an inexperienced child, quite incompetent to decide things for herself. Kitty Leaford was no fit mother for her, but I have done my duly by June, and will continue to.” But Inspector Heale found his tongue at last, forgetting his awe of these two women in remem brance of his duty and his rights. “Now, wait a minute,” he insisted. “You folks on the Hill have gone your own gait in a lot of things; but this looks like murder to me, and it’s my duty to check up on it. Some questions I want to ask you. I know you’re feeling pretty bad right now, so if you want to wait till morning—” Mrs. Bowdon said heavily: “There is nothing I can tell you. My husband lies dead in the house. I wish to be alone.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Charming Patterns For Smart Fashions Personality Will Determine the Best Vocation to Follow, Says Physician In keeping civilization going, the introverts—those persons whose interests are mostly personal—furnish most of the ideas; the extraverts, or socially minded people, turn the wheels, Paul Popenoe declares in his article “Extravert or Intro vert?” in the November Hygeia.Temperamental diffetences are of vital importance in vocational guid ance, many a maladjustment of adult life being due to the fact that an extravert is trying to do an in trovert’s job, or vice versa. On the whole, extraverts natural ly tend to succeed best in occupations that bring them into contact with other people and that demand aggressiveness, decision and action. Introverts will be found predomi nantly in places where they, can work alone and in creative fields, such as art, science and literature.An extravert girl might fail as a sculptor but succeed admirably as a teacher of art to large groups of people. An introvert who goes into law will not be likely to win fame as a jury lawyer but will naturally gravitate into office work. In the family, each plays a differ ent role, and each must be treated accordingly. One is as good es the other; but one is by no means the same as the other. Successful parenthood will take account of the differences. The extravert child will please his parents by making a good social adjustment without any special help; he will make good marks without much effort, will take the leadership in school activities, will be popular with associates because always ready with a joke or retort. The introvert is usually the oppo site of all this. His interest and attention are turned inward rather than outward. He is more con cerned with his own thoughts than with what is going on around him outside. He will be modest, unas suming, cautious, critical, persever ing. Ihe London Temple The term.

We in this country who do not make a practice of carrying an umbrella on all occasions have been somewhat puzzled about Mr. Chamberlain’s famous rain-stick. There must be some sinister se cret behind it, we feel. To en lighten us, a British correspondent reveals the^foUowing facts: “Mr. Chamberlain’s umbrella is actually a sword-stick, that is to say, the handle can be pulled out and a thin rapier withdrawn from the stem. Mr. Chamberlain is an expert fencer. “The ribs of the umbrella can be removed and expanded at a moment’s notice into a wire entanglement, behind which Mt. Chamberlain could take cover if charged by cavalry. The cover can quickly be converted into a sandbag and used either for a fir ing rest for the elbow, a pillow when sleeping on the veldt, or as a rifle rest. “Dangling from the umbrella’s middle is a black tassel in which messages may be hidden and dropped from an airplane when all other communications fail.” We Americans have a reputa tion for believing many things, bu( —we doubt if we can swallow this one! kUICK M !(JOTES wSaadnd Faawt BACK TO WORK I'HE most important job for con- gress today is what it bas been for the last six years—to put America back to work* This must be the watch word.

Seen Along Main Street According to an editorial in The Saturday Evening Post, it would seem that the 3 ,0 0 0 county farm agents were getting mixed up in politics. The Post says that dur ing the past six years the county agent has been so closely identified with the varioui AAA experiments that in many localities b" is now regarded pritnariiv as a politira! ad ministrator a n d paymaster to r Washington. Most county agents are so busy these oays nitta report., and red tape, that they haven't time to get out among the farmers and advise them about their farm crops.

From the following figures on check payments from the Div- sion of Unemployment Seivice of the State of Pennsylvania for two weeks Defore the November elec tion, we find the following: Octo ber 2 8, number of checks issued 1 0 9 8 0 4, amount $t, 1 9 7,5 6 8; Nov ember 4, number of checks issued 1 6 2 ,7 6 4 , amount J 1,7 5 9,4 4 2. This was for two weeks before the elec tion. The week of Nov. u , fol lowing the election, which was held on Nov. 8th, the total number ot checks were 5 1,8 8 7, and the total a- mount of checks was $5 5 9,2 6 4 , a drop of more than St>2 0 0,0 0 0. These figures are' official. Sounds to us like there must be some polt t'cs in this relief business.

PARTON 'M 'E W YORK. — V incent Bendix got on fam ously as long as he stuck to tinkering, inventing and fussing with m achinery. He did .... F »T»F F many other Without Wheels things, but any- tt’s No Go for thing which Vincent Bendix didn’t have to do with wheels, cam s, and pinions w as just no die??. It w as his Chicago real estate deals which brought against him the petition in voluntary bankruptcy filed in Chicago, say his law yers. His holdings w ere m ore than $5,000,- 000, including the fam ous Potter P alm er Lake Shore drive residence —all down the chute in the federal district court. H is m achinery com panies, not involved in the petition, a re rolling along nicely. They seem to be one up on the “ good earth” as an arcanum of security. M odern tim es are like that. In the basement of a New York hospital, where he ran the elevator, he had a grand time taking an old hot-tube gas en gine to pieces and putting it to gether again. He was 17, not long from Chicago, where he had been a telegraph messenger boy. An old one-eyed swamper around the place, who under stood machinery, had instruct ed him in the working of the power plant and had encouraged his laboratory work. There was a close working alliance be tween faculty and student body. Two years later, the lad got a job as a typist in a law office, baffled at first because he couldn’t use a m onkey w rench on the typew riter, but exploring it satisfactorily with a screw -driver and pliers. But a law office hadn’t any wheels, and he did better with the Lackawanna railroad, which had plenty, although he was in the traffic department: In his spare time, he worked out im provements on a bicycle chain and sprocket. That brought him in touch with bicycle manufac turers and at last he was on the main line—and it wasn’t the Lackawanna. It was a wide, paved highway to millions in the invention of automobile and avi ation devices whose only dead end was real estate. Of Swedish ancestry, son of a Mo line, 111., M ethodist m inister, he- packed a copy of Schopenhauer in his pocket when he w as a m essenger boy. In those days, he wolfed Hux ley, D arw in, M arx, Tyndall, W allace and Spencer, calling him self a So cialist in his earlier years. N ever still a m inute, he is buoyant and resilient at 57, and his friends shrug off this bankruptcy business as just a short detour from the m ain high way. They say they wouldn’t be surprised if he should bob up w ith som ething as exciting as perpetual motion, one of these days. CA LTY , laconic, W illiam Allan Neilson, rounding three score years and ten, retires w ith this year’s graduating class as president of Sm ith col-Tke Groves of Academe Laud Retiring Prexy lege.

Some w hat in the picture of Stringfellow B arr of St. John’s, and M aynard H utchins of Chicago, he has p ut over education on its m erits. He has been first a scholar and secondly an ad m inistrator, but has fired so m uch enthusiasm th at adm inistration has pretty m uch taken care of itself. The University of Edinburgh and Harvard passed on to him the flame of the great Elizabeth ans. Merry eyes—little white beard—resonant laugh—with a surgically incisive mind—he has been to the Smith undergraduates a blend of Chaucer, Shakes peare and Erasmus—although said immortals didn’t smoke big cigars. He takes a bow from all the groves of academe. 'T'O SC A N IN I w as so pleased with a tie designed by M rs. M alcolm D.

(C on solid ated F e a tu r e s—W N U S erv ice.} R a n g e R o m a n c e L iv e s A g a in i n M u s ty R e c o r d s Romantic stories of the early days of Los Angeles county, when huge herds of cattle roamed the range, were recalled when County Supervisor Oscar Hauge uncovered hundreds of cattle brands dating back to 1833. The leather, upon which the brands were burned, was found in two old tranks, and was in first-class condition, despite the passing of more than a century. Most owners of the brands were old Spanish families.

The “Flame of Friendship,” presented to the New York World’s fair as a symbol of the friendship between Japan and the United States, was lighted by Mayor Keikichi Tanomoti of Tokyo from burning fagots of cypress wood brought from the Izumo grand shrine, where, according to Shinto mythology, the flame has been burning for more than 1,500 years. The flame was carried to New York by Miss Akiko Tsukimoto.

These are the days when the girls who are graduated from high school or college may be taking a screen test right along with their diplomas, without knowing it. Practically all of the major movie companies are in need of pretty girls, it’s said, and talent scouts have gone forth to find them. Of course, the very girls who come out best in these informal screen tests could probably go to Hollywood and try hopelessly for years to get into the studios.

Lucky is the homemaker who has tudked away on her pantry shelf a package or two of oatmeal, and in _ her recipe file a half-dozen clever ' suggestions for using it in her menus. For oatmeal is a quick change artist, and with a little in genuity you can turn out a whole array of tempting, unusual dishes as delicious to eat as they are inexpen sive to eat. For example, have you ever tried making light, flavorsome raisin muf fins w ith oat meal? Or h a v e you used oatmeal in a thick, hearty vegetable soup to give it that “stick - to - the- ribs” quality so much to be de sired for active families? Hadyou thought of using it to stretch the meat budget, by making a IitUe meat go a long way in meat patties or meat loaf? You’ve used oatmeal for luscious, soft, chewy cookies, of course, but have you tried it for making the crust for a delectable apple pudding, or have you substituted it for nut meats in a rich-tasting torte? You see, besides adding interest and variety to meals, and doing a first-class job of budget stretching, oatmeal may be trusted to add a large amount of low-cost food ener gy to the diet. Oatmeal, moreover, is an excellent source of vitamin B, moderaly called thiamin. This vita min is absolutely necessary to enable the body to transform food (es pecially carbohydrates) into muscu lar energy. Thiamin stimulates the appetite, too, and it helps in over coming constipation, and acts as a prevention of nervousness. ! Here, then, is a brand new series bf carefully tested recipes, aU of which contain oatmeal, all of which will be family favorites in your rec ipe box. Oatmeal Apple Torte.

PAUL REVIEWS HIS LIFE LESSON TEXT—Philipplans 1:12-14, 21- 24; 3:12-14; n Timothy 4:7, 8.GOLDEN TE X T -I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.—n Timothy 4:7. Self-examination may be a most profitable experience if carried out in toe right spirit and for a good purpose. It may be very hum bling to look at one’s experiences and accomplishments in honest ap praisal, but toe very humility which is thus brought about may be the first step toward better things and. may prove to be a real means of blessing. Paul, whose life we have been studying together for the last three months, made a review of his own life and experience in various places in his epistles. We cannot study them all, but in toe brief portions before us we find that toe apostle had laid hold of those certainties without which life is largely mean ingless and useless. He had found victory over both himself and his circumstances. He was perfectly clear about his eternal destiny. He had a goal toward which his life was directed in earnest endeavor, and he had in view the reward which was to be his when he met his God. What an excellent oppor tunity we have to bring out toe truth as related to ourselves on this com ing Lord's Day. I. Living Above Circumstances (Phil. 1:12-14). Paul had been imprisoned for toe gospel’s sake. Did that stop him? No, for he made the very guards who were assigned to watch him at his house the objects of his min istry and they, in turn, became mis sionaries of the cross. He sought to win each one as he took his des ignated period of guard service and then sent him out as a testimony to “the whole Praetorian guard and to all toe rest” (v. 13, R. V.). What a consistent and glowing Christian life Paul must have lived day by day. Not only were some of his Chris tian brethren encouraged by his ex ample to preach the gospel, but we note in verse 15 that others, taking advantage of the fact that Paul was in prison, went out to preach just to show that they were as good as he, making their very preaching an expression of their envy of his popularity. Paul showed victory over circumstances by thanking God that toe gospel was preached, even though it was done in a wrong spirit. H. Facing Eternity With Joy (Phil. 1:21, 24). To Paul, departure from this life would mean his entering into per fect fellowship with Christ and un limited service for Him. He there fore had a strong desire to depart and to be with the Lord. He would not, however, turn away from his present privilege and duty. If it was God’s will that he should abide in toe flesh, he purposed that it should be literally true of him that to live is Christ. If that be true in a man’s life, then it must neces sarily follow that to die is gain. The reason men fear death is that in place of-saying "to live is Christ,” they say “to live is money,” “posi tion," “pleasure,” or even “sin.” in . Pressing Toward the Goal (Phil. 3:12-14). These are toe words of the man who possibly was toe greatest Chris tian and Christiaiv worker of all time. Was he satisfied with him self? No, the Spirit of Christ in him and the vision of the goal which he had not yet attained made him press on. The spiritually minded Christian has no word of commendation for past success, he gives Christ toe glory. He does not permit past failures to hold him back, for they have been put under the blood. He is not content merely to hold his own, for he knows that to stand still is to go back. Christian friends, let us by God’s blessing and grace take a forward step today, and to morrow, and the day after, that we may, like Paul, press on toward toe goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Scripture speaks frequently of the reward which shall come to toe faithful Christian at the close of a life of holiness and service for Christ. It is no doubt commend able that Christians do not often* speak of their reward, for it should be true of every servant of Christ that the love of Christ should con strain him. On toe other hand, it is important that we keep before us the fact that at toe end of the road there is recognition by "the Lord, the righteous Judge,” and that we may properly look forward to toe receiving of the crown of righteous ness from His hand. The life of the Christian has glorious meaning from beginning to end, yes, and on through all eternity! Christ’s Power One of toe undeniable miracles of Christian history is the mystic pow er of the disciples of Christ to re main faithful to Him in spite of all possible temptations to desert the faith . ADVENTUROUS AMERICANS By Elmo Scott Watson Saved by Chance T h o m a s p a in e , with his stir- ring, “These are toe times that try men’s souls,” read to the men in Washington’s army, did much to relieve the despair of 1776. After serving as aide to Gen. Nathanael Greene, he became secretary to the congressional committee of foreign affairs and helped get loans from France and Holland. But aiding toe fight for human liberty of only one people was not enough for him. Instead of settling down to enjoy life in toe nation he helped found, he went to England and, in 1791, published his famous “Rights of Man” for'which he was outlawed by the king’s court. Then he went to France where he was elected to the national convention. But when he opposed the execution of King Louis XVI, the Jacobins expelled him from the convention. When Robespierre came into power, Paine was thrown into prison and condemned to the guillotine. He was saved by the merest chance. The prison keeper went along the corridor placing chalk marks on the doors of those to be executed toe next morning. In the prison gloom, he did not notice that Paine’s cell door was temporarily wide open and flat against toe corridor wall. So he put the chalk mark on what became the inside of the door when it was closed. The guards passed by Paine the next morning and toe delay gave James Monroe, United States min ister to France, time to obtain his release.• • • Captive for 10 Years I N 1800, Ellis P. Bean left his home I to Tennessee and drifted down toe Mississippi to Natchez where he took a job with a pack train. Be cause they carried contraband, toe party was attacked by Spanish sol diers. Bean, with a few other sur vivors, was taken to prison in Chi huahua. 'Then followed one of the cruelest periods of imprisonment that any man has ever endured and re mained sane. For three years he lay in prison at Chihuahua and then escaped only to be recaptured, beaten almost to death and chained to the prison wall. After trying to escape again, he was thrown into a dungeon at Acapulco. Eventually allowed to work in chains during the daytime, he killed his two guards with a crowbar and got away.Again caught, he put in another year in dark, dirty dungeons and was flogged regularly. Again al lowed to work, he killed seven men and this time got 300 miles away before he was seized. In retalia tion, he was, made the victim of almost every kind of cruelty. So well was he able to stand 10 years of this treatment, unbroken in spirit and with defiance gleaming in his still bright eyes, that his captors developed a superstitious fear of him. When the revolution broke out, they offered him a place in the loyalist army which he accepted readily but with his fingers crossed. Once at liberty, he soon talked his companions into going over to toe other side and was given a cap taincy. Finally he led a victorious force into Acapulco and those who had been so cruel to him begged for mercy. In true American fash ion, he showed no bitterness—no de sire for revenge. “Go away and don’t bother me,” were the only words he had for those who had given him 10 years of torture. • * • • ‘Dictator* of Skagway U IS name was Jefferson Ran- 1 -* dolph Smith and he was born in Georgia in 1860, all of which sounds like wonderful background for the story of a Southern gentle man. But he was a gambler and a crook who wound up in Alaska— and they called him “Soapy" Smith. He got his. name in Leadville, Colo., where he sold suckers bars of soap supposedly wrapped in $20 bills. He was a gambler and confi dence man in Denver and Creede, Colo., where he became “dictator” of the camp, succeeding Bob Ford, slayer of Jesse James. When the Alaskan gold rush be gan, he went up to Skagway and found the town wide open and wait ing for a man of his talents. He soon became leader of a gang that used his saloon as headquarters for fraud, robbery and even murder. His disrespect for law was so fla grant that it soon became too much even for that lawless community. A citizens’ committee held a closed meeting to decide what to do about it. No decision was really neces sary, as “Soapy” tried to “crash” the meeting with a Winchester rifle but was fatally shot by an armed guard. As a reminder of the daring days of the Klondike, the town of Skag- way can show no more appropriate sign today than a huge rock carved in the form of a skull and bearing only one name—"Soapy” Smith— who traveled thousands of miles from home to seek adventure and fame and got both—with dishonor.4 W titen Newspaper Union.

T H IS idea is the result of an ex- periment. A friend had a set of sadly out-of-date white linen drawn work scarves for buffet, serving and dining table. Her dining room was being done over with touches of turquoise blue in the draperies and wall paper, so she had toe scarves dyed to match. They were so effective that the simplest part of the drawn work design was copied in coarse linen in various colors for mats and scarves throughout the house. While the turquoise scarves were especially attractive, those in golden yellow and a bedroom set to soft rose were also full of charm. The sketch shows how toe drawn work is done. If you are looking for something effective that is quick to make, here it is. Just pull out the threads of toe linen to make an open space about an inch wide. The scarf may be hemmed at the same time the out side edge of the opening is being w hipped. Ju s t follow these sketches. No other directions are needed. Use either linen or mer cerized thread in a matching color.

Judge Kennedy Answer Recently the Courier Journal in an editorial accused former Circu-t Judge H. C. Kennedy, of Somerset, Kentucky, of being a thrower of brickbats. The Courier-Journal de leted some of Judge Kennedy’s an swer, and published it in its entire ty as follows: In a recent editorial' in The Courier.Journal I was referred to a thrower of “ brickbats.” , I plead guilty to the charge. . When I saw the New Deal under the late unlamented N. R. A. un dertake to assume control of busi ness business both interstate and instrastate; and when I saw a poor N ew Jerstyclothes presser placed in jail for refusing tj charge there gulation price for pressing a pair of pants, I threw brickbats. When I saw the first A. A. A. taking all the farmers’ threw an other brickbat. When Isaw the President hay ing little pigs killed and crops plowed under, I threw brickbats. When I saw the President or the United States undettake to pack the Supreme Court and place the people’s tribunal oi last resort under his complete control and domina tion, I threw another brickbat. When I saw the President of t!ie lJnited States under the guise of a so-called re-organization bill under-j take to assume complete control ot ^ the Congress of the United States, I threw another brickbat. The President was already in con trol of the executive depaitinent of the Government and when it was apparent that the couit packing biil and the reoganizatiou bill was in tended to give him complete control of the judicial and legislative branches of the government, with the resnlt that be would have be- a virtnal dictator, of course I threw another brickbat. As I have witnessed the public .Iebth mount higher and higher; as I have witnessed the tax-payers crushed with the levy and collec tion of exhorbotant taxes, both hid den and unhidden. I have thrown brickbats. As I have witnessed an unparal- Ied orgy of spending and wasting, I have thrown brickbats. A I have witnessed the failure of the New Deal to make any sensible approach to the solution of the unemployment problem, I have thrown brickbats. As I have witnessed the failure of the New Deal to make any sen. sible appreach to the solution of relief problem, I have thrown brick bats. As I have witnessed the poor be come poorei; the wretched more wretched, the hungrier, without any fault on their own part, I have burled brickbat-s. For six long years I have wit' nessed the hands of the New Deal clutching at the throat of business, and thereby preventing it from go ing forward and helping to take up the slack iu unemployment, and I have thrown brickbats. As I have witnessed W. P. A. and direct relief administered for political gain by those in New Deal authority, with the result that it be- cime a national scandal, 'I have hurled brickbats. As I have witnessed millions of poor men and women herded for political purposes; as I have seen the New Deal, without any inten. tion of promoting recovery, herd the millions of the unfortunate poor in the United States and designed ly keep them poor, so _ they could be used and controlled in the elec tions, I have thrown brickbats. As I have witnessed the utter hypocrisy with which the New Dealers high in authority have administered the affairs of govern, menl; as I have witnessed bureaus unnessarily multiplied; as I witnessed the elevation of small men to high places in the govern ment as I have witnessed designing groups of persons make unreason able demand upon the government, and have seen those demands granted; as I have witnessed America — our America — the America which cost onr forefathers mnch of blood and treasure, slip from the ideals of our fathers; as I have witnessed Communists, Social ists and radical left wingers grow in num ter, power and authority; as I have witnessed our govern ment renounce true Americanism and adopt the ideals of foreign governments, I have hurled brick bats. In today's issue of The Courier. Journal I have just read in the Washington Merry • Go • Round where Felix Frankfurter, the President's recent nominee to the Supreme Court, and John N. Gar,- ner Vice-President of the United States, had a drinking bout, as the result if which both of them turned up drunk, and this causes me to throw another brickbat. It is this the New Deal, commencing with those high ill authority and coming on down, has not furnished the American people the high grade of moral leadership to which it was entitled. Miilh n of people have been cheapened,, and the people’s ideals have been lowered. We sire suffering more just now from a moral depression than from the economic depression. The lieait of the nation 'ci ies out for true, courageous, moral leader ship on tl.e port of those high in authority. ’ New York Fair Nudity Race Ended By Arrests. It was a contest to select "Sally Rand’s successor—the node of 1939” at the New York World’s Fair but the officers of the law spoiled all of the fun of the affair by dragging off the four undressed women to court. The girls, representing four of the amusement area shows special- Iizing in nudity, were clad in pieces of string—not much ptring—and one brassiere. N;)t one brassiere apiece, but one for the lot of ’em. They paraded around the Cuban village arena, ascended the stage and posed for the’juding on "form”, first of three points on which the winnor was to be chosen. before they could go on to the other factors, "beauty” and “grace.'’ Qieen County Sheriff Maurice Fitzgerald led six deputies onto the stage hustled the girls away. Sheriff Fiftsgrald said he charged two of the competitors with “inde cent and lewd exposure in the pre sence of the people.” Republican Governors Saving Money. The Repablican National Commit tee has estimated that Republican governors and legislatures would save the state more than $100 ,000,000 in the next two years by restoring "sanity” to unbalanced budgets “in herited from Democratic predeces sors.” Citing various reductions already effected and assuring that more were in progress, the committee said in a statement that the Republican ad ministrations were reducting govern ment costs "by every..means avail able, including the elimination or consolidation of services which may be curtailed,' reducing their payrolls, and tightening op loose administra tive agencies.” In New York, the statement said, the 'Republican controlled legisla ture has reduced the budget of De mocratic Gov. Herbert H. Lehman by $24,000,000 and has., balanced the budget for 1940 with an estimated surplus of $6X6,608. bave Open Season For Politi cal Bosses.

For the time being, the fact is overlooked that 34 out of the 48 states will have to elect governors the coming year. As a rule leader ship of the various parties go band in hand with governorships, says a well known Washington political writer, and "therefore the exigen cies of Btater rather than national ticket making may do more to shape both Democratic and Republican 1940 presidential ticket than any of the present skirmishing in Washing ton over next year’s candidates.” Included among those with gover norship races next year are such pivotal farm states as Illinois, In diana.

But most of us haven’t heaid as much as we should of wbat tbis vital problem means , to tbe towns, cities and schools dist- Tiits of this country. No other common carrier con tributes so much in taxes, to govern ment, as the railroads. And other carries, according to the most ex haustive surveys, actually pars its own way too per cent, tne rest of the carries are subsidized by tbe taxyayers—some directly, some indirectly. Woodfard county, Kentucky, is served by several railroads, by a •>ig bus company, aud by a freight truck liue. Last year the railroads paid taxes to the coun y to the sum of $7 5,121 . The bus and track lines paid practically nothing in comparison. W bat is true in this county is true to a greater or lesser ext< nt in thousands of their coui ties, matter ed threwout the 4 8 state*.

Senator Walter F George, Geor gia Democrat, charged in a Senate speech that thousands of persons have lost employment and manv southern mills have been forced to close because of the “ii.fl xible” wage hour law. “It is impossible 1 0 maintain wages by law without causing un employment.” he added. Southern manufacturers, he said, did not close their plants because they did not want to pay minimum wages established by the act, but merely because they could not pay them. The fault, he declared, lies not in poor administration of the statute, but in the law itself. "N i • section of the country has ■nade more progress in advancing the wage scale than has the South,” he continued. “ But conditions as they actua'ly exist, not some fanci ful or utopian condition, make it impracticable and impossible to pass a uniform, rigid law that would not work a hardship on the industries of the South.” Senator Ellison D. Smi'h, Dem ocrat of South f'arolina, broke in to observe that the law has “done so much damage that it will be years and years before the damage can be undone.” The Senate meantime approved the third in a series of bills to aid the depressed $26,000,000,000 rail road industry—a measure designed to permit two major carriers to ar range for adjustment and postpone ment of their debts.

My moth er was in bed and asleep. I was with her. My son Asa was asleep in the dining-room. My husband was at home. My son Rab was in Providence. Miss Leaford was—I don’t know where. I knew nothing till the electric lights went out, and I started to look at the fuse-box, and saw the flames from the pantry window." Rab insisted: “Gentlemen, you can’t annoy these ladies! They have suffered—" But Mrs. Taine said quietly; “Nonsense, Rab. It is not a ques tion of annoyance, or of endurance. I do not choose to be questioned; that is all.” She repeated: “And I wish this dangerous gossip stopped, now." She nodded toward the door in a gesture of dismissal. Tope said gently: “I see you burned your hand!” Mrs. Taine eyed him steadily. “Yes, when I lighted one of the lamps,” she said. “The match- head—” But Rab cried bitterly: "‘Gentle men, I won’t permit this! You must go.” Tope looked to Inspector Heale for guidance; and the other yielded. Bo the two men came out together; and out of doors, in the lee of the house, sheltered from the rain, Heale mopped his brow. Chief Mason stopped, and turned; and Tope with a nod toward the ru ins of the burned houses asked: “You think you can find anything in there?” “It will be a piece of luck if we do,” the Chief confessed. “Arson’s always hard to prove.” He added: “There was a gas-explosion, sure. And by the way the fire ripped up through that laundry-chute, I should think oil had been poured down the chute, or gasoline. It’s not likely we’ll find anything, but we might.” And he said grimly: “But I’ll go through the ashes with a sifter. If there’s anything there, I mean to get it. Old Denman Hurder was a gentleman. He always had a word for any man on the street. I liked him.” ‘He’s still alive,” Tope pointed out. ‘He’s full of smoke, and gas too,” Mason replied. “Must have had enough gas'to kill him.” “No chance it was accident?” Tope asked soberly. “Might have been,” the Chief grudgingly assented. “There was a gas-leak somewhere. The cellar and their room must have been full of it. And crossed wires sputtering might have, set it off. The place was a firetrap. Mr. Hurder had had electric lights put in, with a de cent installation, but then the others connected up to his line, and did the work themselves. Poor job, prob ably. It’s a wonder they hadn’t had trouble before.” ' Tope nodded, and he asked: “Then how do you know it wasn’t just crossed wires, and a leaky union in the gas-line?” The Chief said honestly: “I don’t know how I know. But when you’ve been in this business as long as I have, there sure some fires that don’t smell right; that’s all. You get a. hunch they’re wrong, without .know ing why.” The Inspector looked at him ap provingly. He had observed some thing of the sort himself, so many times. He inquired: “Chief, were you slow in answer ing the alarm tonight?” “Don’t think so,” the Chief as sured him. “I wasn’t there, but nobody said anything about a de lay.” “I’d like to know what time the alarm came in,” Tope told him. “And what time the first apparatus got here.” TU get it for you,” the Oiief promised. He turned back to the dying fire. Tope and Hispector Heale went on to the police car beside the road; and Heale confessed in an irascible tone: “We’ve got almighty Uttle to go on, Tope. No place to begin.” “I Uke to find out as much about the time things happened as I can,” Tope suggested. “Let’s drive down right now and check up on that telephone-call. Nothing to do here till dayUght, anyway,” Heale agreed; so they departed on this mission. Heale phoned to ask the Providence police to make inquiries about Rab Taine; and they got from Fire Headquarters a rec ord of the alarm. Then Providence caUed back; Heale answered, and reported to Tope, with a dry amuse ment: “Here’s something! Rab Taine was there, all right; but he wasn’t alone. ‘Mt. and Mrs? Registered in, under his own name, late last night,' checked out about midnight, Mter he got a phone caU.” Tope felt his pulsbs quicken; add Heale commented: “Pretty cool proposition, going off on a spree, with his grandpa dead at home.” He seemed to see no more in the incident than an ugly intrigue, and Tope offered no comment So pres ently they drove back up Kenesaw Hill. There they could only wait, WhUe the embers of the Hurder house still smoked and steamed. In spector Heale went presently to sleep, here beside Tope in the car. A gray and miserable dawn came at last, through the drenched and sodden trees to reveal the desola tion here. Where the Hurder house had stood was a black pit now, with embers and half-burned timbers scattered all around. Firemen were busy; and steam sttil rose from the embers. Dawn became day, and In spector Heale woke, and took Tope away to breakfast and brought him back again. They could only wait; and it was near noon when they got back to Kenesaw Hill. The Chief at last came swiftly toward them, with something in his hand. He extend ed it triumphantly. “There, look at that!” he cried. Tope saw what it was: a large fuse of the sort used in electric cir cuits designed to carry a consider able current. It was a cylinder “You’re fine, Miss Leaford,” Tope said. “This is hard for you, and I know it and understand.” some three inches long, with brass or copper ends, of heavy waxed cardboard composition. ' At one place this tough composi tion, harder than wood, had been whittled with a knife till the soft metal conveyer within was exposed. This metal now was fused. The com position was smutted all around the opening. The whole was set as though it had lain in water. And Chief Mason cried tri umphantly: “There you are! That’s how it was done.” Tope turned the thing in his hand. "Just how do you mean?” he asked. And the Chief explained: “Someone turned on the gas in the cellar, let it rim for a while; then he short-circuited the light wires, somehow, and blew this fuse. The flash would set off the gas,.” And he added: “It was a piece of luck we got this. The explosion must have blown it off the wall, and it fell in a drain-ditch full of water, didn’t burn." Inspector Tope felt a quick pre monition of success. It was such accidents as this which had be trayed murderers before, and would again. He looked at Inspector Heale wondering whether the other had the same thought; but Heale’s eyes were fixed on someone a little dis tance off, and when Tope swung that way, he saw the man whom June had called Uncle Jim ap proaching them at swift long strides.He came near, and he cried: “Where’s—Miss Leaford?" Heale said - harshly: “Where’ve you been? I’ve been looking for you.” Glovere made an impatient ges ture. “Is she all right?” he in sisted. Tope said gently: “Yes, she’s Etll right, Mr. Leaford.” And at that word Heale swung toward him, then back to the other man. “You Mr. Leaford?” he de manded in a quick astonishment. There was a long silence; the oth er at last lifted his hand helplessly. “Yes. Yes. When Kitfy died, I went away . . . Came back yesterday. But I didn’t know about this tfll just now." “Where were you last night?” Heale demanded. “In my cabin down there.” “Didn’t wake up?’* “No. I’d lost sleep lately.” Heale made a gesture of satisfac tion. “I guess you’re the man I want,” he said. June’s father stared at him with narrowing eyes. “What are you talking about?'” he demanded. It was Tope who answered. “We think Mrs. Ueaford was murdered, think this last night was murder too,” he said. And Heale added in a complacent tone: “So that’s why I want you, Mr. 1 Leaford. You’re going for a little ride with me.” CHAPTER XH June woke to strange surround ings; to a room she had never seen before, a bed she did not know. She woke, and lay with wide eyes, re membering; and for a while she was content to stay abed, putting her thoughts in order, assorting all her horrified impressions of the night before . . . At last she heard someone stop outside her door and stand still there as though listening; for a moment she shuddered with vague terrors, then decided this must be a friendly step, and called: “Come in.” So Miss Moss opened the door; and June saw kindness in her, and strength and affection. The older woman came gently to her bedside; she said quietly: “Good morning, Miss Leaford. Did you sleep well?” “I must have, I think,” June con fessed. “What time is it?” “Past eleven,” Miss Moss told her gently. “Stay in bed. I’ll bring you some coffee.”But June sat up quickly. “Oh, no. So late!” And she asked: “Where’s Clint?” “Sound asleep.” “Is he all right?” “Yes; yes, my dear. Perfectly. Just a few burns and blisters.” “He was so brave,” June whis pered proudly; and Miss Moss said smilingly: “He’s sleeping like a child. He took Inspector Tope out there last night, after you went to bed; but he came back soon himself, and I took care of him.” June nodded. “You’ve always taken care of him, haven’t you?” “Since his mother died, yes.—Of him and of Clara.” The girl insisted on arising; and she and Miss Moss had a long hour together before Clint woke at all, moving quietly, speaking in half whispers so that he might not be disturbed. Once the telephone rang, and Miss Moss answered it. June heard her speak in a steady nega tion to some insistent one, and guessed the truth before Miss Moss confessed to her. “That was your cousin,” the old er woman explained. “Mr. Taine— wanting you to come home. He said he would come fetch you.” “Rab or Asa?” June asked, al most fearfully. “I don’t know.” “Oh, I don’t want to go,” the girl declared. “I can’t bear to go back there.” ‘You need not,” Miss Moss as- spred her calmly. “You will stay here as long as you choose, my dear.” She smiled and lifted the re ceiver off the hook. “We’ll not even answer the telephone,” she de clared. “Besides, it might wake Clint. He needs sleep.” “I want to see him,” June ad mitted, her cheeks bright; Miss Moss smiled, and on a sudden im pulse put her arm around the girl. Later Miss Moss heard a buzzing in the telephone, and it continued so persistently that she lifted the receiver. This was Aunt Evie, in sisting in her even, pitiless tones that June come home. But Miss Moss yielded not an inch; and June, when she heard who it was, cried: “I can’t, Miss Moss. Mother’s dead, and now Grandma. Oh, I can’t go back to them.” Her voice was raised; it may have roused Clint, asleep in Inspector Tope’s own bed. He came in pa jamas to the door, his hair rumpled, his eyes drowsy, still not fully waked. But when June saw him there, she ran into his arms, and he held her close; and Miss Moss said in a deep and tender mirth: ‘She wouldn’t be happy till you did wake up, Clint. I couldn’t please her.” June looked back over her shoul der and said gratefully: “You were sweet to me. But—I did want Clmt too.”So June was able to forget for a while those horrors of last night; she and Clint and Miss Moss laughed together over the breakfast-table, and while they washed dishes after ward. But early in the afternoon Inspector Tope came home. The old man was tired and worn and haggard, and his clothes were sod den. Miss Moss seized on him and hustled him, protesting, away to change; she would have put him to bed, but the Inspector balked. June asked Ciint desperately: “What is it, dear? What has hap pened?-Why is he—that way?” And suddenly: “Why do you call him ‘Inspector’? Is he a policeman?” “He used to be,” Clint told her. “For years.” He thought uncertain ly to distract her attention; and he said almost eagerly: “He can tell you the greatest stories, about the cases he had, the things he did. I guess he’s the greatest detective they ever had around here.” She stared at him with '^arrowed eyes. “Detective?” she whiskered. “But why—” And suddenly Clint saw the blood drain out of her lips and leave them white as marble; but her eyes were steady. “Clint,” she demanded, “does he think—” But he was saved the necessity of answering, for Inspector Tope and Miss Moss came out to them again; and June turned to the older man. “You think someone killed my moth er?” she said swiftly. Clint protested something, and In spector Tope stood uncertain; but June turned to Miss Moss. “Tell me,” she insisted. “Is it true?” Miss Moss answered her. “Yes, June,” she said. “I think it is true.” Her voice was infinitely kind. June’s eyes closed; she seemed to grow tall, she stood so straight and still. She looked at them all again, and said slowly: “You must tell me. Oh, tell me what to do.” Miss Moss and Clint were silent, full of tenderness; but Inspector Tope spoke in a deep approval. “You’re fine, Miss Leaford,” he said. “This is hard for you, and I know it, and understand. I would like to talk to you,” he explained gravely. “If you can stand talk, questions.” Tope began with Mrs. Leaford; he came at last to the tragedy of the night before. “Your grandmother died,” he said. “Mr. Hurder is still alive. He ought to be in a hospital, to have every chance; but Mrs. Taine insists on keeping him there. Attending him herself—” He was silent for a moment, frowning, foreboding in his eyes. Then he" went on: “Now you’ve already told me about your mother and the night she died. You remember, when I came out with Clint. But Miss Leaford, I want to ask you about last night— about everything that happened be fore you left Uie house to meet Clint: who you saw, what you did, what other people did.” So June, picking her words with care,arranging her memories in or der, began to tell him; and while she talked, he made an occasional note, on a pad of paper, till she con cluded at last: “And then Clint brought me away, brought me In here.” Inspector Tope nodded with a deep approval. “That’s fine,” he said; and he explained: “I’ve been trying to figure out the times when some of these things happened. I’ve made a schedule. Some of this you don’t know about; but you and Clint look at it and see if it’s about right, as far as you know.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Common Colds May Cause Infections in Sinuses and Parts of Respiratory Tract The common cold can cause in fection in the sinuses, other parts of the respiratory tract and ears, Sid ney N. Parkinson, M.D., Oakland, CMif., says in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Nasal congestion during a cold interferes with circulation about the openings of the sinuses. This in creases swelling and congestion within the sinuses and permits ac cumulation of mucopus which the hair-like projections in the respira tory tract are unable to remove. This complication is unfavorable to tissue defense. “The purpose of local treatment during acute infection is ventilation in order to improve drainage,” the author says. Sirinkage of-toe nasal mucous membranes with drugs opens toe air passages. Free drain age then takes place if in the proc ess of ventilation toe hairlike drain age mechanism has not been dam aged. This is why toe selection of a physiologic drug is so important. Ephedrine in Locke’g ablution Or its equivalent constitutes an efficient harmless agent for shrinkage. The drug best reaches toe mem branes of toe air passages with toe patient lying on his side with his head bent downward exactly side- wise, using the shoulder as a fulcrum. After from three to five minutes toe head is rotated to face down to permit toe nasal contents to escape from toe nostrils. The head-low posture permits all important struc tures within the nose to come in contact with the medication and obviates any injury. Teeth of the Dog Every dog regardless of size or breed has the same number of teeth. Even in toe Pekingese and bulldog with their smashed-in faces, though the teeth may be crowded, Crossed and creoked, there are always 42 and they are always in the SEime groups and locations. AU have four canine or tangs, two in each jaw, one in each corner with six in cisors or cutting teeth between them, 18 premolars and eight mo lars or grinders. The canine teeth are the dog’s weapons aWith which he slashes his opponents and they also help thfe incisors- tear the car casses of his kUl or large chunk* of meat.

GOLDEN TEXT—Give therefore thy serv ant an understanding heart . . . that I may discern between good and bad.—I Kings 3:9. Jnvenile bridge experts were given a chance to demonstrate thpir card playing ability recently at the Golden Gate International exposition’s - all-western ’teen age bridge tournament. Winners were Gwynne Dickson, jleft, and Peggy Lou Delahide, right, both of San Francisco. Here they ,are in action agaiivt Jack Dickson and George Kieffer. Expect no Indian -war cries. It’s . merely Elaine Shepard, film ac-1 tress, wearing the new standard television makeup. For good tele- j vision production it was found necessary to use white high-lighting around the nostrils, eyes and throat hollows. Lips, eyebrows and- eye lashes are bine-black. Cheeks have a bluish tinge. Ordinary types of makeup have been found impracti cal for television reproduction. Success or failure in life is de termined by-the measure of a man’s devotion to God and obedience to the will of God. We speak now of real success, not according to the ideas of the world. We are con cerned with what a man is and what he does for God, not with what he may happen to possess. An excellent outline taken from Points for Emphasis, by Dr. Hight C. Moore, most effectively presents the lesson. I. Wisdom Offered (v. 5). Solomon had properly opened his reign by going to Gibeon to offer a thousand burnt offerings because he “loved the Lord” (v. 3). Having re turned from his day of worship, he had fallen into a deep sleep when God spoke to him saying, “Ask what I shall give thee.” It was an unusual offer, a kind of blank check that God gives only to those whom He can trust to fill it out right, as Mac- laren suggests. Sometimes we wish God would give us such an opportunity. “That is just what He has done. He has appeared to you not in dreams, but in broad daylight and by His Son Jesus Christ has said as plainly as He could, Ask and it shall be given you.” He has repeated it three times, saying, ask, seek, find. And then He has returned to say, “Ev eryone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” We have no right “to say that Solomon was more favored than we. We are more favored than he. If we have not, it is because we ask not. If we lose peace and joy, happiness and- heaven, it is all for want of ask ing” (Joseph Hammond). H. Wisdom Chosen (w . 6-9). The noble and intelligent choice of Solomon has been much admired and rightly so, for he chose the greatest gift that could come to any man, “an understanding heart.” He might have asked for money or pow er, but with the lack of wisdom to use them properly they would have been a curse to him and to others. Long life is but a continued blight to a foolish man because it only ex tends the time of his folly. AU things in the way of possessions must be outside of a man, there fore they may be lost or misused. But what he is and what he has in his heart, these are what make a man worth while. Solomon showed the beginning of wisdom when he chose, above all things, an under standing heart. HI. Wisdom Granted (vv. 10-14). There can be no higher word of commendation than to say that a man’s choice “pleased the Lord” (v. 10). To have that attitude of mind and heart which expresses it self in words and actions so exactly in conformity tQ the will of God that the Almighty Himself is pleased, is to be ready for God’s unlimited blessing. Solomon asked for wisdom, and because he re ceived that gift from God, he was ready to receive riches, honor, and power. We may by God’s grace go the same way and take from His blessed hand numberless gifts. Note the qualifying word “if’ in verse 14. Solomon failed God in his later years as king. The tragic results are written for all to read. That way none of us should ever go. The lesson is plain—faith takes blessing from God; unbelief brings failure and sorrow. Let everyone that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. IV. Wisdom Exercised (v. 15). When Solomon awoke from his dream he showed his faith in God’s promise and in fact demonstrated the wisdom which was now his pos session, by returning to his capital city, Jerusalem, to stand before the ark of the covenant in reverent wor ship, then to lead his people in a public service of confession and con secration, which was followed by a great religious feast which drew the king and “all his servants,” the people of Israel, into a blessed unity before the Lord. One could wish and pray that all the rulers of the earth whether in democracies or under dictatorships might have the wisdom and humility of Solomon. The world is in utter confusion and really confesses that it does not know the way out of its difficulty. It has not yet turned fo God. If rulers and people would fall upon their faces before Him in contrition and supplication, it would not be long before we would see both spiritual and material peace and prosperity. Make It Positive Scripture seems to make it posi live that every soul has everlasting- jiess, but Scripture also seems to make it positive that for Jesus’ kind of everlastingness every soul has got to qualify. A S YOU see from the diagram, the pretty daytime dress (1754) consists of just two-pieces to sew together. Then make the easy darts at the neckline and waistline, so that your dress will be slim and softly full over the bosom, edge the sleeves and neck line with lace or ruching—and there you are! Anybody can do it, and it’s so attractive and comfort able. Linen, gingham, batiste and lawn are nice materials for this. Cool, Comely Jacket Frock. If you’re looking for an extreme ly smart and pleasantly youthful jacket ensemble in women’s sizes, 1761 is the pattern for you. Gath ers make the bodice just full enough, and the paneled skirt, cut to a high waistline, is beautifully slenderizing.

Fill freezing container only % full of ice cream mixture, to allow for expansion. 5. Cover tightly. 6. Adjust the dasher so that the handle turns easily and smoothly. 7. Use three parts crushed ice to one part rock salt, arranging in al ternate layers. 8 . Turn the crank slowly and steadily until turning becomes dif ficult. 9. When the mixture is frozen (5 to 10 minutes, with a modern ice cream freezer), wipe around the top of the container with a cloth, and remove cover carefully, so that no. ice or salt falls into the mixture. 10 . Remove the dasher, and pack down the cream with a spoon. 11. Replace the cover, and drain off the water from the freezer. 12. Repack with ice and salt. Cover with burlap bag or heavy paper, and allow to “ripen” for about an hour before serving.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK A ir Vefs Soar A fte r 30; Som e C a veL eg to F ly By LEMUEL F. PARTON "VT EW YORK.—While it is only 36 4 - years since the first feeble crow-hop of the Wright brothers, aviation already has the-equivalent o f th e cauU- flower veterans of prizefighting —veterans, in- cidentaUy, who keep right on going after 30. Ben O. Howard, who skippers the Doug las DC-4, the largest land plane in the world, across the country, left his right leg behind him, on his way on and up; as did Alexander P. de Seversky, a marvelous stunt flier with a wooden leg. And Wiley Post was served adequately by one eye in his breathtaking hazards. They carry on far beyond the one score and ten which weighted Max Baer helplessly against Lou Nova. Ben Howard was flying his self-made plane in the Bendix Transcontinental Trophy race in September, 1936, when he crashed in New Mexico. He and his wife, Mrs. Olive Howard, also a flier, were critically in jured. He was unconscious 36 days and his leg was ampu tated. “Research pilot,” which is novi Mr. Howard’s rating with the Unit ed Air lines, appears to be a bit up grade from the test pilot job, and implies engineering and technical skill as well as coolness and cour age. AU this Mr. Howard gained in designing, building and racing planes for many years as the “ride- ’em cowboy” of many racing meets. In 1930, he was flying the night mail, between Omaha and St. Louis. Losing daytime sleep at times, he built a slick little 100 - horsepower racer which made him the star of the National Air races at Chicago in 1930. His smaU-engined planes kept on snatching prizes from ships with twice as much power. After his accident, he was out for 15 months, and then back with United Air lines in experi mental work. He is dark, slender, reserved, mastering the air leviathan with the sensitive and intuitive fingers of a concert pianist...

F indsH om eIlls Just as a bal- Hardest to H it ?nce broughtforward fro m the world of yesterday, it was the sergeant who, armed only with a service revolver, and a rifle, kUled 25 Germans ana captured 132, in cluding two officers, and herded them into his home dugout. The big, red-headed hero of the hog and hominy common wealth has been having qnite a deal of hard luck in the after glow of his fame. Debt, cinch- bugs, boll weevils and five-cent cotton are no such shining marks as mere Germans. He is busy gunning for the mort gage on his 395-acre farm, near Pall MaU, Tenn., trying to build a silo and hoping for the best. He is a modest hero and deserves a cheer from all hands. This being a pleasant and unique deviation from that rather bitter monologue of Lou Angler, old-time German dia lect comedian. The generals and the orators were throwing out their chests, celebrating their victory in war, “Vere iss der soldier?” was the plaintive refrain of the piece. And then the answer: “He iss over in de woods, cutting down a tree to make himself a wooden leg.” G EN.

You were saying—” “Majesty,” says the Oberst, “I have spent my life in your service. My hair has grown gray, follow ing your standard. My health is broken, my old body is covered with, wounds, from your cam paigns and your battles. And Maj esty, all these hard years, all this toil, all these battles and marches count as nothing when I see youn- kers promoted over my head—chil- The Art of Conversation On the Road P ) RIVING is often monoto- nous, and to break the te dium drivers indulge in con versation.

Look at so and so, look at that one —lieutenant generals, and I am still a major. Majesty, I grow to the end of my mortal term. For all my years of service, if for noth ing else, grant me promotion.” The Prussian king took his arm and pointed to the window, where a picket line of artillery mules munched their straw. “Major, you see those mules? You see the old flea-bitten mule at this end? They have made many campaigns; the old one, this way, has made 20 campaigns. But, my good Herr Oberst, they are still mules!”—John W. Thomason Jr. in American Mercury. Repairing Sea Cables The captain of a cable ship re cently reported that he had re paired a break in a submarine ca ble off the coast of South Africa with little or no difficulty. How ever, even if all goes well, the job of locating and repairing an ocean cable seems intricate and arduous to a landlubber. Electricians on shore first de termine by means of special in struments where the cable is bro ken. Then the cable ship steams to the spot. The ship lowers a grappling hook and steams slowly back and forth at right angles to the path of thecable. When the cable, which is often buried in the mud, is hooked, it is immediately pulled to the surface and repaired.
