Little Stingers From The Yellow Jacket. Shifting from the old plea of e. conotpy, FDR now insists that the proper way to recovery is . through huge spending. Well, ’by cracky, we are getting the spending, but where is the recovery? Considering bow New Dealers shift and straddle and sec saw from one extreme to another, it need not surprise the people to hear Henry Wallace come right out and con­ fess that be was a humbug from the starr. Would it not be interesting to ascertain just how many real A- mericans would snbscribe to the un-American, idiotic theory that Argentine beef or any other for eign product is superior to the A- merican product. A lot of people wonder why we have to have an expensive Presi­ dent and Congress—why cannot John L. Lewis and his CIO run the government better and more economically—they have .to tell FDR what to do anyway. That new comet that came with­ in fifty million miles of the earth is said to be receding at a rapid rate. Doubtless when it observed we had a New .Deal here on earth it decid- red to get as far from this universe as possibie. The Yellow Jacket continues Io shout “America for Americans.” We sympathiza for the oppressed of the earth, but we are eternally opposed to making this country the enternational asylum for the oppressed x>f the whole world. Measurec in terms of the price of wheat, a forty billion dollar nat- i>nal debt, tax revolts, the ten mil lion unemployed, vacant factories and reduced dividends, it looks to The Yellow Jacket, as if the New Dsal has sold the country short. It has beeu talked ’round about that a European war would put F. D. R, in the W hite House for a 3d term. If this comes to pass, mil­ lions will come to the conclusion that Sherman knew what he was talkiug about when he said ‘'W ar Is Hell.” Madness, Statesville Record. Summer time is also vacation season. But any joy we experi­ ence from this is tempered^ by the knowledge that this is also the time when our carelessness and reckless ness send to the high point for the year the number of deaths and ac cidents caused by our own foolish­ ness. No one seems able to explain the peculiar psychology that causes us to take so many chances with our lives and limbs as we set out to en- joy the vacation season. We take chances on the highways, we jum p into unknown swimming holes, we drink untested water, we foice our bodies to the limit under the heat of the burning sun—in fact, we seem to think it necessary to do everything we shouldn’t think oj trying at home. The result is a casualty list that should shame us. We sacrifice life, we endure suffering, we.cause hard­ ships all out of proportion to the fun we may experience or the bene­ fits we may derive. A vacation period is good for everybody. But it ought to be ar­ ranged thoughtfully and conducted sanely. Have a care for your own well being-, and make certain that there shall be no worry or bereave- ment for your loved one. WIN YOUR RACE For Buiineu SupiaMMy ByAdnriiite Why The WPA Strike The ’‘prevailing wage" clause in the new relief bill was the basic cause of the W PA strike. For example, in New York City the “ prevailing wage” scale for bricklayers is $ 8 7 for 4 5 hours of work, or $1 .9 5 per hour. W PA bricklayers have been paid on that same basis. Under the terras of the revised law, they will continue to recieve the $8 7 , but they will be required to work 1 3 0 hours for it. Their hourly pay will, therefore, be 6 7 cent?, instead of $[*9 3. The labor unions were behind the strike. Naturally, they saw in the revised term a death blow to the strangle hold they have exercized upon both skilled and unskilled labor in the more strongly unionized cut­ ters. They were fighting to compel the government to abide by the st.piil;-- tions of their unions in the prevate feeld. President Roosevelt was strongly against any change in the system of relief pay by which W PA workers were remunerated on the union-pay basis. But when it came to dealing with the strickers, Mr. Roosevelt was stern and unyielding, for which he is to be commended.—Charlotte Observer.

Forsyth County Fair Winston-Salem, N. C., July 17 — The premium list for the 4 0 th an­ nual Winston-Salem and Forsyth County fair, to be held October 3- 4 -5 .6 7 , is off the presses and is being disturbed throughout this section of the State. It is expected more interest than ever will be taken in the agricultural and live stock contests this year as the man­ agement is Uying greater stress on these im poitint departments of the big fair. Committees are now at work arranging the free attractions and other features of fair week and within a short time complete plans will be announced for N oitb Caro­ lina’s greatest annual event. Grow­ ers of agricultuial -products and livestock, as well a» those interested iu home economic displays, who have not recieved a premium list may secure one without charge by dropping a postcard to the Winston Salem and Forsyth County Fair Association at Winston Salem. The Small Cotton Acreage The acreage plantted to cotton this year is the smallest in 3 9 years. It is a little less than 2.5,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 acres. The highest during that period was 4 4 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 acres. The circumstance, howev'er, that tbe American cotton farmers have less acreage devoted to this crop this year than during any year of the present centnry does not argue that the prodction will be tbe small est. It may be, of cource, but it is almost equally as possible tor it to be tbe largest. If the farmers this year make two bales where they have been making one, it will be a bnmpsr crop, And this goes to show that ac­ reage reduction in itself is not the cure for the producers of this stalpe. If a farmer is wise and energetic, he can reduce the extensity ot his cotton acreage and at the same time by cultivating antensivly, make more on less than he formerly made on niorg lands dedicated to this crop.—Charlotti Observer.

I Kinston Lawyer Sees Dog WormingTobacco Rpyao’d T. Allen, well known lawyer of Kinston declares he saw “ Pup,” a small bulldog, "working in a tobacco field” with a. crew of !iegro harvesters. Pug functioned as “ wormer.” “ The dog tried to loaf on the job,” Alien said. “ His owner, an elderly nes;ro, commanded him to go worm those plant-=. Pug trotted down a row gra’ihins;- off worms. I saw hi.n seize a dozen or more. Finishing up the row, he. started up- another. - - - -■*' “ The darky said Pu-* was as in- •teligent as some persons. He used the dog to chase hogs and cattle, car y bndles aud fetch his shoes and socks. He said he could worm as many tobacci plants in a day as a boy of IS Tbe old darky said he bad known of one other tobacco worming dog in Lebrir county hut tl.e other dog bad not been as stead}* as Pug.” Who Is To Drink It? This is the report of an actual dia­ logue which took place between two American citizens; one of them a business man spoke frankly, as one does to a good friend: Well, said the layman’ with an air of finality. "Prohibition is a failure, and we must get used to the idea of making America ‘wet’ again.” “ But who is to drink the liquor? queried his friend, "Will you?” "Why. no,” he rep ied, "you know I am ateetotaler.” ‘‘Will vour son drink it?” "No, that shall not be!” "Would you want it to come back for the sake of your clerks?” "No, it is my practice to discharge any clerks who drink liquor.” Do you want your customers to drink it?” “No, I would much rather not; I am sure that those who use strong drink will not buy so much from me or pay their bill bo promptly.” Would you want the engineer on your train to me it?” "No, I admit I don’t want to ride on a drunkard’s train ” "Ah, then, you want this liquor for the men whom you meet driving cars on the public highway!” "No, of course not; that is a dang­ er to everybody.” “ Well, then, who is to drink this liquor in America, pray tell me?” "I am not sure that anybody should drink it. I guess we are bet­ ter off without it.” — Cnristian Science Monitor. O pportunity Knocksf RCAD the AOS AU Counties Eligiblo For Tenant PurchaseLoans Every county in North Carolina will receive.Ioaus to helo farm ten ants become owners under tbe Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant A ct' according to information received here by FSA County Supervisor, J. rf. Stewart, from tbe State Di­ rector of the Farm Security Ad­ ministration, Vance E. Swift. Blankt-ting the entire state, fifty new counties were designated by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace upon the advice of the State Advisory Committee. “ The FSA has helped 3 8 9 ten ants in North Carolina to become landowners during the past two ■^ears,” Mr. Stewart said. “ Con­ gress,, in its battle to keep tfee A- merican farmer on bis farm, appro­ priated $4 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 recently to be used under the provisions of the Bankhead Jones Farm Teuant Act fo help stop the alarming trend from ownership totendancy.” These loans are made for a. 4 0 - year period at three per cent inter­ est. However, the act provides that after five years payment in full C in be made at any time. Under a variable payment p’an farmers may niake large payments in good years with smaller payments due in years of pattial crop failure ot low’ prices.” | Mr. Stewart said repayment of these loans 3II over the United States is remarkable with borrowers repaying 1 3 5 per cent of maturities. Further information about how to apply forthfexe'ISans will Be' given by the Couutv hupervisor who will be at the Couit Honse, Regisrer of Deeds offi -e in Mocksville, about noon on Friday of each wetk. A three farmer advisory commit* tee will assist the Supervisor, ex­ amine the applications, appraise farms applicants wish to bny and recommend tanants for successful farm ownership. Barrowers will have the help and guidance of tbe F«rm Security Admini;t-ation in building or repairing their homes and in making plans to do better farming. Although land purchase loans are limited, Mr. Stewart said the regular rehabilitation loans f o r items such as feed, feed, feitilize-, livestock and farm equipment a>e available to eligible farmers unal le to secure adequate credit elsewhere. Fifty new counties added to the program are: Aliimancel Allegany, Ashe, Avery, Beaufort, Bladi n, Brunswick, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Camden, Carteret, Catawba, Chowan, Ciay, Cnmber- Und, Dare, Dav’dson, Davi*1, For­ syth, Gaston, Graham, Halifax, Harnet*, Hyde, Johnston, L'ncoln, McDowell, .Mitchell, Montgome y, Moore, New Hanover, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Piit, Randolph, Rowan, Sampson, Scotland, Stanly, Surry, Swain, Transylvania, Tyrrel, W atauga, Wayne, WiUon and Yadkin. North Carolina First. Fifty years ago North Carolira ranked sixth among the states in tobacco production, about 30,000.000 pounds being produced in 1888. Since then the. state has risen to first place in sales of flue-cured leaf tobacco. Last season 516,000 pounds were harvested from 611 acres and sold for $114,996 213. North Carolina’s leadership in quality production and sales is due to the prominent place it occupies in the production of fine quality leaf, according to>W. P. Hedrick, tobac­ co marfeeting'specialist of -the State Department of Agriculture, who .comes out in a warning to the weed growers that they can maintain their position only by properly handling and preparing their crops before it is placed on the sales warehouse floor.—Charlotte Observer. Ordered To Church. We doubt if the plan of a certain courts in the land to sentence boys and young men to attend church for a given period of time will ever work out for the permanent benefit of those young people. It has been tried in may parts of the country— and for a time the courts received the plaudits of the press and pulpit for their good intentions—but when it comes to a permanent saving of those young folks the courts will not have a hand in it. Our attention ha been called to a story coming out cf N utter Fort, W. Va., to the effect that the chief of police there has announced that the youngster who gets into trouble in that place will henceforth go to church instead of to jail. The big­ gest trouble with that situation is that the chief of policc there is also pastor of the Baptist Church of the village. The young minister policeman sa:d "Before I accepted this position I gave it a great deal of thought I could see why it would not work, fGr you can work Christianity into any phase of living.” His philosophy my be all right, but will it wcrk when it is put into actual practice, is the question. The. young minister went on to Fay that juvenile delinquency is one of the great problems of the day. "W e never have much crime in this little town, so I am gning to start apply­ ing Christian principles in dealing with the young people who get into trouble and bring them into the church.” he went on In say. That’s a fine way of thinking about it, but everyone knows that only the saving grace of Jesus ChriBt will brinir-abiiut th,.chanwjinm en's Iivts and in boys as well. Dr. Ralph Her­ ring never said a truer thing in chal­ lenge during his sermon at the First Baotist Church Sunday morning, that men must take J<>sus into thtir hearts and lives, completely, to be­ come new creature?. We prefer the principal advanci d by the brilliant young Winston Sa­ lem pastor to that of the young W«st Virginian. Blue coats and pjlicemen’s hillv will not bring a- bout the complete salvation of ycung boys. There is onlv one way. The West Viiginian means well, m doubt, but we believe he will go further in the work of redeeming boys and girls if he will hand in that chief’s badge, forget about these new wrinkles of sentencing the youth to church, and then prnc< ed to lead them into tbe way of righteousness by his own life and by holding up ever before them the way of Calvary, tie Christ who gavj Himself that “ we might have life and might have it more abundantly.”—Union Repub­ lican. Professors Score New Deal. Hanover, N. H .,—Two profes­ sors from large eastern colleges made direct attacks upon the new deal, the two saying President Roosevelt's policies mean dictator­ ship in the authoritative European sense. Dr. William S. Myers, profes­ sor of politics at Princeton in a pro­ fessor of politics at Princeton in a prepared address opening tbe three- day conference at Daitniotttb Col­ lege (promoted by the Branan fund committ'-e Ior the defense of the constitution, applied the dictator­ ship term In saying Mr. Roosevelt held "it is for tbe President to make the policies and for Congress to find methods tocaray out his will.” W alter E.

N. C. EHST IID UIESI BY TALBOT MUNDY « TALBOT M UN DY-'W N U SERVICE CHAPTER I —I— Moses Lafayette O’Leary tossed his soiled pith helmet to a coolie. Sweat streamed down his almost liver-colored face from a mass of black hair that curled with quite un-oriental vigor. He looked like a vaudeville Irish version of a Hindu without a turban. He squinted to­ ward the setting sun. The Kadur River, where it circled the city wall, was blood-red. “Blood!” he remarked. "If I was superstitious—” He entered Captain Carl Nor­ wood’s tent. Norwood’s native serv­ ant objected. O’Leary smote the servant. He removed a whiskey bot­ tle, two long tumblers and a siphon from the ice-box at the rear, and came out winking at Sergeant Stod- dart, who was shirt-sleeved, sweat­ ing, muscular and thirsty. “Caught you!” said Stoddart. O Leary grinned. “All you’re fit to catch is hell and malaria. I’m taking pity on you. Here." They sat, on cases of surveyors’ instru­ ments, facing each other. O’Leary observed:“As a sergeant of sappers, you’re a sap sergeant. You believe you’re here to find out why the Kadur River is all silted up. As if nobody knew it. You’ll sweat. You’ll wade. You’ll work. You’ll catch diseases; and you’ll draw your pay, if you live. Pretty soon now you’ll be sent home on a troop-ship to tell the Eng­ lish in the pubs how you’d rule In­ dia if you was commander-in-chief. You’d look handsome in a cocked hat ” “Kid yourself you know a lot, don’t you?” said Stoddart. “This is good whiskey.” “Sure I know a lot. I’m three men. You’re only what’s left of one, and white at that. I draw one- third your pay for using three times your brains. You only know what you’re told, all tripe and army regu­ lations. Hindsight. Mine’s fore­ sight.” “You’re like all Eurasians,” said Stoddart. “You’d bet on all three horses in a three-horse race, and then set yourself up as a clairvoy­ ant, along of having picked the win­ ner. The secret of why the Kadur River has silted up is like a dog’s bone that he buries in sight of half the county. The priests have a dia­ mond mine, and they're critturs o’ habit. They dig by day. Come night­ time, they’ve been dumping clay into the river since Noah’s Deluge.” "Don’t you take the Scriptures in vain,” said O’Leary. “Noah was a saint, which is more than you are. Stick to your river survey. Watch out that the dam don’t break and learn you what a deluge is. Your job is to work with a dumpy and tape and a couple o’ poles, and set down figures to be stuck away in a file. My job’s to look for the rea­ sons o’ things. I’m good at it." “I'll admit," said Stoddart, “you could find a drink in the Sahara. What d’you kid yourself you’re here to find out?” “I might risk giving you another drink if you could tell me where the Captain’s heading for this minute." “Easy,” said Stoddart. “Pass the bottle. Captain Norwood is on his way to the Residency to report ar­ rival.” O’Leary kept his hand on the bot­ tle: “What else?” “Nothing else. Regulation routine. In case you don’t happen to know it, and you’re an ignorant savage, a Resident at the court of a Mah'a- rajah is an Army officer who’s no good at soldiering. So they put him in the ‘political.’ As a rule he’s no good at that either. He’s a sort of ambassador. He attends functions. And he keeps out o’ trouble when­ ever he can. They tell me this Resi­ dent is a dabster at doing nothing and keeping it wrapped in cello­ phane.” O’Leary passed the bottle: “Well, you get your drink, but you don’t de­ serve it. I’ll bet my month’s pay against yours that the Captain’s in trouble already. Trouble’s what he came here for. Did you ever know Norwood not to get what he’s after?” “There ’6 someone else after some­ thing,” said Stoddart, staring over the rim of his tumbler, beyond O’Leary. “I’ll bet you know who he is. And Tll bet you know what he wants, you bleeding ferret. What is it?” “You’d better scram,” O’Leary answered . “Secrets and sergeants don’t mill good.” Stoddart snorted: “There you go, murdering the King’s English, as well as not minding your‘own busi­ ness. You picked up the word scram in the movies and you think it’s clever. The trouble with you is, Moses, that you try to talk too many languages, but you can’t shoot a bee-line in one of them. Talk Eng­ lish.” “I will,” said O’Leary. “You scram. That gentleman who’s mak­ ing you so curious is going to have to talk English too, on account o’ my dignity.” "Who is he?” “He’s the oil-can.” “Meaning what?” asked Stoddart. “He looks greasy enough from the heat, but you haven’t looked at him, so you didn’t mean that.” “All right, I’ll educate you. After that, you scram and learn English. I’m keeping him waiting o’ pur­ pose.” “On account of your dignity?” “No. My dignity is like that bot­ tle nose o’ yours: it’s been punched a time or two, but there it is. It’s inseparable and I’ll be buried with it. I’m keeping him waiting on ac­ count o’ his indignity that needs a bit o’ taking notice of, so it won’t be no secret from him. His name is Noor Mahlam. No, not baa-lamb. Mahlam. He’s the oil-can that goes around dripping the lies into the lo­ cal works to make ’em grind good, and smell rotten and sound scandal­ ous.” “Reporter for the local paper?” asked Stoddart. “No. He’s from the underworld district.” Stoddart grinned. “Seeing he’s a friend of yours, I might have guessed that.” “You’ve drunk your drink, so scram.” “I’d like another drink." “ ’!wouldn't be good for you, and you know it. What you want is in- “Sir I might make it a hundred.” formation. Well, I’ll tell you. Kadur City is hot.” “You bet it’s hot,” said Stoddart. “It’s a hundred and five this min­ ute, in the shade of my awning. But I suppose you didn’t mean that.” “It’s tough all right,” said O’Leary, “but perhaps Lahore goes it one worse.” “I never was in Lahore,” said Stoddart. “That’s why you’re still in the Army. Stay away from Lahore, and maybe you’ll get home safe to Eng­ land with a pension. Lahore is full o’ women who’d as soon knife you as look at you.” “Yes, I know what you mean. I’ve heard tell of ’em.” “And those women o’ Lahore,” said Moses O’Leary, “are about the square root of one-tenth of one per cent as bad as the men. This man Noor Mahlam, who is squinting right now at the back o’ my neck, is a jewel in the crown of Kadur’s in­ famy. “What do you suppose he wants?” asked Stoddart. “He wants news, you sapper. He wants to know why Captain Catch- em-alive-o Carl Norwood is in Ka- dur.” “You’ll teU him?” “Bet your boots and medals I’ll teU him.” "WiU you give him a drink?” “I win not. For the sake of a harmless innocent like you I don’t mind letting down my dignity at times. But I wouldn’t steal Cap­ tain Norwood’s whiskey for that buz­ zard.” “He doesn’t look like a buzzard. He looks fat and good natured.” Moses Lafayette O’Leary took a private swig from the bottle inside Norwood’s tent, and then put it away in the chop-box. With his hands in his trouser pockets for the sake of dignity, he strode toward the tree beneath which Noor Mahlam sat wondering how to broach the sub­ ject of his meditations. He. did not appear to be wondering. His black turban only partly concealed a phi­ losopher’s forehead. His silver- brimmed spectacles enhanced the mellow mildness of intelligent dark brown eyes. His nose was fleshy and good Trumored. His black beard and moustache were well cared for. They concealed something. His mouth was not in evidence. He arose to greet Moses O’Leary and, judg­ ing by the movement of his beard, he smiled, but the smile was invisi­ ble. At close quarters it was evi­ dent that his bulk was mostly fat, not muscle. He fitted flabbily into a bazaar-made black alpaca Euro­ pean suit. “How d’you do, Noor Mahlam.” “How do you do, sir.” Moses O’Leary straightened him­ self slightly and drew his right hand from his pocket. He had to live up to being addressed as “sir” by a man of means from the underworld district. But it stirred his alert­ ness. His suspicion, and more than that, was already wide awake. His voice hardened a trifle: “Sit down, Noor Mahlam. Hot, isn’t it? No, I’ll stay on my feet. I’ve business to attend to. Can’t spare you more than a minute or two.” “How did you know my name, sir?” asked Noor Mahlam in silky accents that suggested there was something else than silk beneath. It was a quiet agreeable voice, un­ less one listened to it too attentively. Moses O’Leary smiled with the pride of the expert who needs no praise to justify his self-esteem: “It’s my job to know things. Check me. You were a lawyer. You served a term in prison in Cawnpore for cheating a client. You were dis­ barred. And now you’re cheating everybody. Am I right?” “Sir, I’m a public relations coun­ selor. It is a new profession, in India.” “It’s a new name for an old game,” said O’Leary. “But you’ve come to the right place. Tm the publicity man o’ this surveying par­ ty. What do you want?” Noor Mahlam looked bland and innocent. His eyes were as kind as the milk of the moon, but his mouth remained hidden. He wiped the sweat off his face with a hand­ kerchief, then removed his specta­ cles and wiped them too, before he answered: "I want nothing, Mr. O’Leary.” “You’re a lucky bloke!” “I came to enquire if I can be useful. If I could have the ear of your officer—” ‘T m it. I’m both ears. I’m his teacher, his keeper, his nurse, his confidential secret’ry, his father con­ fessor and information man.” “Sir, if you are truly in Captain Norwood’s confidence—” “Try me. Him and me are like the two sides of a rupee. And it’s a two-headed rupee. He’d believe me even if I was to teU him you’re honest.” "I could reciprocate, Mr. O’Leary. There are many people to whom it is highly important to know why Captain Norwood is in Kadur.” “Have you heard about the sur­ vey of the Kadur River?” “Yes, Mr. O’Leary, but nobody believes that.” “Well, it’s the fact. We’re here fo run a survey of the Kadur River.” “Ah! But of what else than the river? I am commissioned to offer rupees fifty for correct informa­ tion.” “And me a poor man! If I weren’t a good Christian and afraid to take the name of the Lord in vain, I’d be critical o’ your conscience. D’you think it’s decent to insult my pov­ erty with an offer o’ fifty rupees?" “Sir, I might make it a hundred.” “You’ll have to make it twice that before I’ll hesitate. Besides, I don’t think I need you.” “Mr. O’Leary, I think you under­ estimate my value. There is noth­ ing that I don’t know about the politics of Kadur. I am the trusted informant'of people-in very high places.” “High?” said O’Leary. “In the magistrates’ courts they call ’em low places. You can go look for an­ other customer. Captain Norwood’s decent." “Ah, but how about you?” “I know how to take care o’ my­ self. What d’you take me for? A tourist? “Sahib, I can tell you actual, au­ thentic facts about the palace.” The word “sahib” was a mistake. It stiffened O’Leary’s feeling of su­ periority. It spurred him to con­ temptuous offensive tactics: “I don’t believe you. What’s new at the palace?” (TO BE CONTINUED) Ancient Jewish Coins Found to Be of Historical Value An exhibit of ancient Jewish coins symbolic of the Maccabean period, displayed at a Jewish theological seminary in New York recently, presented an interesting insight into the customs and laws of that early day. The coins, struck in the two cen­ turies preceding and following the start of the Christian era, are of silver, gold and copper. They are of two classifications—those struck by the Jews themselves and those minted by their various Roman gov­ ernors. Because Jewish law forbids the use of graven images, there are few portrait heads in the collection. The most common decorative motifs are sacred objects—the jug, the palm branch, the citron, the holy taber­ nacle, trumpet, the Menorah and the palm tree, the last a symbol of plenty in Palestine. There is little of artistic merit in the collection. Apparently the Mac- cabean coins were strictly utilitari­ an, for the Jews who coined them wasted little time displayed at the Jewish Theological beautiful. Many of them have been struck over old Roman coins, and in their haste the Jewish craftsmen failed to oblit­ erate the Roman inscriptions. The speed with which these coins were made is demonstrated, in some instances, by imperfect im­ print. Some of these imprintings cover only half the face of the old Roman coins. Coins of the revolu­ tionary period bear the Hebrew in­ scription, “To the freedom of Jeru­ salem,” and the date, I, 2, 3, or 4, corresponding to the year of the revolt. In the second group of coins— those struck by the Roman gover­ nors—much of historical value is re­ vealed. Many of the bear profile portraits of Vespasian, Domitian or Titus, in whose reigns they were struck off. Many of the coins issued by the Roman procurators of Palestine show a Jewish influence. These coins do not bear the Roman ini­ tials “S. C.,” since they were struck without the authority of the senate and merely at the emperor’s com­ mand. This was possible, since Palestine remained an imperial province. Some of the coins were embel­ lished with reproductions of inani­ mate creatures instead of the reign­ ing Caesar. ERSTiIIIEST An Exciting, Dramatic Serial By TALBOT MUNDY • The story centers around a beautiful Ameri­ can girl who Is forced to choose between a charming, unscrupulous Indian Ftince and a straight-forward, imperturbable Btifish army officer. The circumstances which unfold to govern her decision make one of MundyrS most exciting, glamorous stories of the Far EasL YouH enjoy every action-packed chapter. BEGINS TODAY= Charming, Practical Patterns a 'T 'H E afternoon dress with v- neckline, slim skirt and shirred bodice (1779) is unusually pretty for those of you who take women’s sizes. Make it for hot days with short, full sleeves; repeat it later on, with the narrow roll collar and long, snug sleeves. Voile, chiffon, georgette, silk print and thin wool are pretty materials for it. Dress With Jacket-Blouse. A classic two-piecer that will give you loads of wear on your vacation travels as well as sum­ mer days in town, is 1783. It brings you a sleeveless tennis frock with sunback, that becomes a sm art little summer suit when you add the fitted jacket-blouse. AROUND THE HOUSE Quick Baking.—Fruit and berry pies with lattice-style tops require less baking time than the regular two-crust pies.* * * Keep Oils Cool.—Store oils, such as olive or vegetable, in the re­ frigerator. They are likely to be­ come rancid when opened unless they are kept chilled. * * * Use for Leftovers.—Leftover .-ice or macaroni mixed with cooked meat makes a good filling for green peppers or tomatoes. The latter need to be cooked only 20 minutes in a moderate oven. * * * To Inform You.—Read the labels on canned foods. Many tell the number of slices contained in the can. Others give additional use­ ful information about the contents. * * * Stains on Ash Trays.—To re­ move cigarette stains from brass ash trays, rub the trays with a paste of salt and vinegar. Then wash them well in hot water and soap suds. * » * Washing Knitted Goods.—When latmdering sweaters or knitted suits be careful not to stretch them while wet or they will be too large when dried. Before washing, lay the garment on some light-colored paper and trace about it with a pencil. When it has been rinsed fit the garment into the tracing and lay paper and garment on a Turkish towel to dry. Drying may require two days, but the fitting will be cor­ rect. * * • Care of Bread Box.—Summer calls for diligent cleaning and air­ ing of bread and cooky boxes, pan­ try and cupboard shelves and re­ frigerators. Since bread molds easily in the summer, it is best to buy just enough for each day’s needs. Thus you can solve two important clothes problems with this one easy pattern. It will be charming in linen, gingham, pique or shark­ skin. The Patterns. No. 1779 is designed for sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48.

The cost is nothing as I find that after the waists of dresses are worn out, there are still parts of the skirts that are good enough to give long wear when made into these covers. J. B.” Thanks, Mrs. J. B., for that sug­ gestion, and here are two covers that you might like to try. To make the contrasting edge for the round one, stitch two-inch strips together in points as at A, trim as at B clipping between the points then turn right side out. Pull out smoothly and press, then gather as at C. Stitch to one section of the cover as at D, then stitch the two sections together leaving an opening for the cushion. To make a pattern for a mod­ ernistic patchwork cover, cut a rectangle of paper, then divide it into sections as shown. Use these sections as patterns to cut the fabric adding a seam allowance as at F. NOTICE: Two books for the price of one.

How Women in Their 40’s Can A ttract Men Here’s good advice for a woman during her change (usually from 38 to 53), who fears she’ll lose her appeal to men, who worries about hot flashes, I ass of pep, dizzy spells, upset nerves and moody spells. Get more fresh air, 8 hrs. sleep and if you need a good general system tonic take Lydia E. Pinkhara’s Vegetable Compound, made especially Jor women. It helps Nature build up physical resistance, thus helps give more vivacity to enjoy life and assist calming jittery nerves and disturbing symptoms that often accompany change of life.

The saying, though old, still holds good. Everybody should be getting ready to coroe to the big Masonic picnic on Thursday of next week Help us to make this the biggest and best picnic ever held in Davie county. Commissioner A. I. Maxwell will be a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor of North Carolina in 1940, says the dailv press reports. We wonder how Mr. Maxwell feels about the in. famous three per cent sales tax and the prohibition question? It is said that there were more arre.'ts made and drinking around and in Mocksville over a rncent week-end, than had occurred here in many years. We have plenty of officers, together a number of wine and beer establishments Mocksville has had a mighty good reputation for soberness and good behavior for many years, and we hope that our officers will see that the laws are enforced. We can not afford for our town to lose its good name. Governor Clyde Hoey is a great prohibitionist, despite the fact that he kept very quiet about this great question while the legis'ature was in session last winter. It hasn’t been many months since Governor Hoey paroled Chris Moschooris, notorious Asheville trafficke rin illicit booze who led a charmed life for years but was finally caught, convicted and sentenced to prison for 18 months. After serving only six months our prohibition governor granted him a parole. We learned, this information from an Asheville daily paper, and presume that it is true. How the mightv have fallen. The 61st annual Masonic picnic will be held in this city at Clement Grove, on Thursday, Aug. 10th. This bids fair to be one of the big gest and best picnics ever held in Davie county. Governor Clvde Hoey will deliver the annual ad dress, and it is needless to say that those preseut will bear a fine speech There are plenty of country hams, chickens, all kinds of fine pijkles fruits and other good things in Da?ie to be used in preparing the big picnic dinner, which is always enjoyed by hundreds of Masons and their friends. The Lee riding devices will be here to furnish a. musement for the young people, and a class from the Oxford Ma­ sonic Home will be present to render worth-while programs. For the past 40 years The Record has spared neither time nor expense in boosting these annual picnics and home-comings. They mean much to the fatherless and motherless children at Oxford, and deserve the support of all our people. The Record has grown up with these picnics and we feel that we are in­ deed helping a worthy cause in asking the support and co-opera- ticn of all the people, not only in Davie, but in all surrounding coun ties to spend one day in Mocksville and lend their support to this noble cause. AU former Davie citizens who are living in other states, ate given a cordial inivitation to re­ turn to the old borne county for this one big day, Thursday, Aug. iotb. We Visit The Mountains An edilor seldom gets away from his shop more than one day at a time, but early on Friday morning, Tuty zist, this scribe, together with his wife and two daughters, climb­ ed into their ancient Chevrolet and headed for the mountains. Weleft in the rain, and ran through sever­ al showers before reaching Marion, which was our first stop, where we had breakfast. When we reached Ridgecrest the sun was shining and the remainder of the day was fair and warm. Our next stop was at Asheville, where we spent a short while. As usual, the highway between Ashe­ ville and Marshall was under re pair, and we had to detour via Weaverville and Mars Hill. This road is not so bad, but fences are needed along the winding moun­ tain roads between Mars Hill and Marshall. Our next stop was at Hot Springs. We had visited this town befcre but this was our first visit to the spring, which is only a short distance off the highway. If you think the water from this hot spring isn’t warm just put your hand or foot in and find oat. We left Hot Springs about’ noon and were soon passing through New. port, a hustling town. Our next stop was at Sevierville, Tenn., where we arrived about 3 o’clock. We spent the night in this town, which nestles between the Pigeon rivers at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains. It is about 25 miles to Newfound Gap and Cling man's Dome, Which^flave an eleva tion of more than 6,000 feet above sea level. The editor and wife and son, moved from Sevierville to this town 32 years ago. While living there we worked on Montgomery's Vindicator and also published The Horne', a weekly paper. The old town has grown wonderfully in the past 32 years. There are many modern home?, good public build­ ings, theatre, hotel, good streets, water system, electric lights, etc. Most of our old friends have passed to the great beyond. Among the few left were Editors Roy Mont gomery and H. 0 . Eckels, Assist ant Attorney General George Al­ len, John B. Waters, Victor Staf ford, Mrs. Rogers and sister, Miss Serena Bowers and a few ethers. We left Sevierville on Saturday morning shortly before noon, pass ing thiough Newport, Greenville, Jonesborj, Johnson City and Eliza- bethton. These are all progressive towns, ranging from 1,000 to 30,- 000. A short while was spent in Greenville and Johnson City. We arrived in Mountain City about o'clock Saturday afternoon. This is one of the prettiest little towns in East Tennessee. It is situated in the heart of the bills, with Doe Mountain towering over it on the south. We spent the week-end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. M. Wagner, who showed us every kindness. On Sunday we, with Mr. i.nd Mrs. Wagner, visited the thriving little town of Damascus, Va,, which is situated on Laurel River, In the midst of wonderful mountain scenery. Near this town is Backbone Rock, where thous­ ands of peode visit annually. The scenery is unsurpassed.

N. C. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON XTEW YORK--Within the exploits -L ' of men of achievement may— and often does—lie the favoring ele­ ment of chance, frequently recog­ nizable. But often, too, it is hidden in a vague background of contribu­ tory factors. In Jascha Heifetz’s agreement to appear in a forthcoming motion pic­ ture, Saisuel W a yS m o o iked Goldwyn’s pow- F or Success o f ers of persua- Sam ’s E xploit sion onc,e aSainexcite the envy of his rivals and the admiration of his friends. The eminent violinist’s personal aversion to the screen as a medium of expression has long endured in the face of repeated of­ fers. Mistrust of sound track repro­ duction of the notes of his beloved violin was joined with his repug­ nance to the elemental music he believed he would be called upon to play and, above all, was his objec­ tion to strutting the screen as an actor. So Goldwyn’s success in overcoming the great musician’s re­ luctance is now being proclaimed. Yet, lying back of Heifetz’s name on the dotted line of a Hollywood contract are various imponderable factors. His wife, for instance, who was Florence Vidor of screen fame, may have been the influence behind his first appearance on any stage in a histrionic capacity. This was last spring when he took the role of a hill-billy fiddler in the an­ nual show of a sophisticated midtown club, of which be is a member. Garbed in overalls, cotton shirt and red wig topped by a broken down straw hat he played “Turkey in the Straw,” violin upon his knees, as the time-honored jig tune has never before been played. And for an encore there was “Danny Boy.” So who can say that the siren voice of Sam Goldwyn was not mere­ ly the fanning of a flame lighted when, with gusto and amid wild ac­ claim, he sawed a violin Iymg across his knee? Born in Vilna in 1901, Heifetz’s American debut came in October, 1917. An American citizen now, he lives in Redding, Conn. Sam Goldwyn it was who lured Maxine Elliot to the screen back in 1917 and she was but a prede­ cessor to such exalted artists as Geraldine Farrar. P AUL ROBESON’S magnificent bass voice will have adequate op­portunity for expression in his por­ trayal of the title role of Sam Byrd’s forth- B ishop’s P light coming produc- A lte re d A im o f tion of a play Paul Robeson adaPted ^ theauthor from Roark Bradford’s John Henry sto­ ries. There will be incidental music by Jacques Wolfe. One often marvels at events, apparently casual at time of oc­ currence, which are found sig­ nificantly to have affected hu­ man lives and so shaped desti­ nies. When Paul was a senior at Rutgers, where he had won high scholastic honors and gained for himself a national reputation as a football end, he was looking toward the cloth as a profession. His father was a clergyman in a small communi­ ty in New Jersey and, from boy­ hood, Robeson’s idea had been to follow in the paternal steps. Not long before graduation, the elder Robeson died and among the funeral arrangements was a plan to have the presiding bishop of the church conduct the obsequies. Ac­ cordingly, the prelate came to the scene of the funeral from his home in a village in the southern part of the state and after the services he addressed the assembled mourners substantially as follows: “Brothers and sisters, I had to borrow the money to come to this scene of sorrow and unless you all contribute to defray my journey home, I am afraid I shall have to walk.”Whereupon, of course, the neces­ sary traveling fund was raised. Aft­ er a while the bereaved son met the late Foster Sanford who was his football coach, his guide, mentor and friend. “You are still headed for the min­ istry?” Sanford asked. “Yes sir,” was the reply. “I still am, sir.” “The highest you can ever get to be in your church is a bishop, isn’t it?” Sanford asked and when Robeson said that was true, the coach fixed him with his compelling blue eyes. “And so you are going to enter a pro­ fession where, even as a bishop, you will have to borrow money to get from north Jersey to south Jersey.” That was all. that was said. But next day Robeson came to his friend, confiding his intention to plump for the law and for voice. (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) Mother’s 6Breath of Life’ Saves Unconscious Infant Quick thinking saved a tiny life recently when nine-month old Gary Bucholz was found unconscious in his bathtub by his mother, Mrs. Marie Bucholz, 20, of Chicago. The horror-stricken mother hurriedly picked up the baby and breathed into its mouth, as shown at the left. Recovery rewarded her quick action, and po­ licemen, firemen and a doctor arriving at the home were confronted with this happy ending.

ELIJAH: A LIFE OF COURAGE LESSON T E X T -I Kings 18:30-39. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.—Proverbs 15:29. “Let courage rise with danger.” Such is the plea of Webb’s great, hymn, “Stand Up for Jesus.” Chris­ tianity in our day calls for cou­rageous men and women. Courage should be distinguished from such related things as bravery, valor, or bravado. Bravado is an affectation of a reckless bravery which surely has no place in Chris­ tian life and activity. Valor is associated with daring and vigorous action, for example, in battle. To be brave means to meet = challenge with confidence and resolution. To be courageous means to steadily meet perils of which one is deeply conscious, doing so because of the call of duty. Courage holds a deep­er and nobler meaning' than the other words, carrying with it the idea of moral strength and, in the case of the Christian, faith in God as one devoted to His cause. Elijah was courageous, and he stands before our Christian youth to­ day as an example of that godly courage which I. Works in the Open (v. 30). Men whose deeds are evil love the darkness rather than the light. God does not work' in the dark. All of His workings are in the open sun­ light. Every one is welcome to “come near” and see what is done. Elijah knew God and he acted like God’s man. What a tragedy it is that not all of God’s servants have followed his example. If we had the open and above-board dealings of Elijah in the affairs of our churches, we might see more of the fire and power of his ministry. Certain it is that the administra­ tion of church affairs which has to be carried out in hidden corners by whispered conversations and by secret manipulations behind the scenes, is not God’s work at all, it is the work of man. II. Asks No Favors (vv. 33-35). Elijah rebuilt the altar himself. He asked no help of the unbelieving prophets of Baal or of apostate Is­ rael. How old-fashioned he seems in this day when so much stress is laid on a false unity of the faiths, and there is so much solicitation and acceptance by the Church of the help of unbelievers in financing the supposed work of God. Note also that Elijah invited his enemies to make the answer to his prayer more difficult by pouring water on the sacrifice. This was not an act of bravado, it was for the purpose of demonstrating that there was no fraud. He was willing that the enemies of the truth should make the demonstration more dif­ ficult if that would be to God’s glory. There is a delightful old-fashioned flavor about that act, too, in these days when men are frequently will­ ing to compromise with unbelief and even with sin in order that the work of the Church may be carried on without too much difficulty. Here again we have an explanation of the lack of spiritual power in out times. IH. Honors <God, Not Man (vv. 30-32, 36-37).A man of bravery wants recogni­ tion for himself, while the coura­ geous man asks only that the cause for which he fights shall be success­ ful. Elijah had long since demon­strated that he was absolutely fear­ less, and sought no favor or glory (read the entire story). Now in the tenseness of this moment, he care­ fully rebuilds the altar of the true God (v. 30), makes it a testimony of unity to a divided Israel (v. SI), and he does it ail in the name of the Lord (v. 32). His prayer (vv. 36, 37) is a pro­ foundly simple expression of a com­ plete faith in the true God and His power on the part of a, man who recognized himself as being only the divine servant. He made no plea that God would vindicate him or his ministry, but he did plead that the name of the Lord should be honored in the midst of an unbelieving people. IV. Brings Eternal Results (w. 38, 39).“The fire of the Lord fell.” The lying prophets of heathendom were routed. Many recognized Jehovah as the true God. While Israel did not long remember the lesson learned here, the story has contin­ ued as a testimony that will strengthen the people of God as long as time continues. In God’s Treasury Treat the weakest and the worst with reverence, for, like yourself, they are the temples of the living God. “Ripper,” a hard-working locomotive, celebrated its thirty-fifth birth, day recently in Hoboken, N. J. Here Thomas T. Taber of Madison, N. J., president of the Railroaders of America, an organization of railroad fans, empties a birthday “cake” into Ripper’s firebox. The “cake” is a hatbox full of nut coal. At the right is Bruce Nett, Madison, N. J., youngest member of the club.

MEjURlTiSLttMaAtG \ For a help-yourself-party (or al- fnost any other lunch or supper) few foods rival in popularity a platter of "cold cuts.” Designed to tempt the appetite, and to provide inter­ esting variety, this good-to-look-at and good-to-eat dish is a summer favorite. Salami, liver sausage, thin slices of flavorsome boiled ham, and corned beef or sandwich slices make an attrac­ tive and delicious combination. Wa­ fer-thin slices of cheese, sm all sweet pickles and radish roses with sprigs of watercress complete the platter. These same cold meats have other uses, too. For example, cubes of salami add zest to a green salad, corned beef makes a tasty casserole meal, and slices of boiled ham combine with cream cheese and chives to make a tempting and unusual dish for lunch or supper plates. I’ve chosen from my file of tested recipes a half dozen which will add new interest to your meals. I hope they may inspire you to do a little experimenting on your own. Luncheon Slices.

Vacuum Cleaner With Clean Dust Bag Best A vacuum cleaner with a clean dust bag does the best cleaning job, studies at Purdue university experi­ ment station show. For best serv­ ice the bag should be emptied after each daily use. Never wash the bag, as that destroys the finish that keeps it dustproof. How much dust a machine draws from a rug, the studies indicate de­ pends partly on how fast it is pushed back and forth. Most machines clean best if they are moved at a speed of from one to two feet a second. Naturally, the machine should not be allowed to pick up pins, tacks, or glass because these sharp objects may poke holes in the bag or chip the fan blades. It is also desirable to keep the machine in a clean place, protected from dirt and dust. Many Electric Outlets Important to Kitchen When electric outlets are being planned in a new house for lamps, clocks and radios, the kitchen is often neglected. It has more uses for plugs than any other room. Within reasonable limits, there cannot be too many appliance out­ lets in the kitchen. In this room electricity is used both for lighting and for motivating power. Consumption of current varies widely with kitchen appliances, and special attention should be given to the load the outlet is expected to carry. S t a r D u s t ★ Spending M oney Isn't AU ★ Delay Brings N ew Lead ★ A lec a Top N otcher By Virginia V alo----- W E L L , it ’ s happened a g a in ; a “ B ,” or Io w - budget, picture has turned out to be a lot better than m any an “A ”— or picture on which the studio shoots the works. Every so often some­ body does an intelligent bit of work with a “B,” and it draws audiences like a mag­ net, and people who can take the movies or leave them alone—and usually leave them alone —exclaim that, if all movies were as good as this one, they’d go fre­ quently. The picture in question is “Five Came Back,” an RKO product, pro­ duced by Robert Sisk. It’s probably Mr. Sisk’s fault that the picture is so good, though due credit must be given to John Farrow, who directed it, and to the good script and excel­ lent cast. For Mr. Sisk had ideas about pictures. He thinks that it is more important to have a good story and a group of actors who really can act than it is to spend lots of money on a picture, achieving spectacular effects. If you remember “The In­ former” and “A Man to Remem­ ber,” for which he was responsible, you’ll see what he means. He didn’t have stars for “Five Who Came Back”—the budget wouldn’t allow it. So instead he engaged Joseph Calleia, Lucille Ball, Wendy Barrie, C. Aubrey Smith and Chester Morris. The plot, dealing with the forced land­ ing of an air liner in a jungle and the effect on the passengers, wasn’t new—but it has been well handled, and the dialogue is exceptionally good. i You may recall that “Northwest Passage” ran into difficulties last fall, just as shooting was about to begin. Payette Lake, Idaho, was Just Sterilize Containers To Prevent Ropy Breaa “Ropiness” in bread is caused by a bacillus and it makes the bread un­ fit for use. AU containers in which the bread was mixed, baked, and stored should be steriUzed by bon­ ing. Ropiness in bread does not de­ velop immediately after the bread has been baked, but announces it­ self by a disagreeable odor. To Remove Jar Covers To remove covers from preserve jars place the jar top downward in a dipper of hot water (not boiling) and allow it to remain live or ten minutes. Remove the jar from the dipper and insert a steel kitchen knife at different points under the rubber. This will let in the air. The cover can then be removed easUy. On Washing Curtains When washing curtains put dye or tint in the washing machine with the soap flakes. They color more evenly this way. ROBERT YOUNG the chosen location, and early snows in the mountains made it impossible for the company to work. The picture finally got started a week or so ago, but the postpone­ ment made changes in the cast nec­ essary. So, instead of seeing Rob­ ert Taylor in the lead, you’ll see Robert Young, and Walter Brennan will replace WaUace Beery. ■" "'b Paramount, making a film based on the life of Victor Herbert, is so set on getting all details right in this picture version of the famous com­ poser’s career that Herbert’s daughter has been signed up as technical advisor. Allan Jones and Mary Martin, who couldn’t get any­ where in Hollywood until she went off to New York and made a hit on the stage, are the stars. It looks very much as if autumn would find a new radio star with us. He's Alec Templeton, the blind pi­ anist who has made frequent guest appearances on the air, and now has a regular spot on Tuesday eve­ nings. He plays classical music su­ perbly, and does parodies and mu­ sical sketches which are among the most amusing things in modern broadcasting—his recent perform­ ance of “Three Little Fishes” as a Handel oratorio, with Templeton singing, in a very good voice, had broadcasting circles predicting a big future for him. Conrad Nagel, of stage and screen fame, is master of ceremonies on the program, which is one ihore thing to be grateful for—his diction and voice are good, and he has none of the plushy solemnity which so many announcers seem to think is necessary. ODDS AND ENDS—Sammy Kaye and hie band are touring again; don’t mist them if they give a concert in your neigh­ borhood . . . Gabriel HeaUer always car­ ries an “Emergency” script in his pocket, in case one of his scheduled guests for "We, Ibe People” fails him, so if you hear him launch into a three-minute his tory of the program you’ll know thai somebody failed to turn up . . .

Smart Hand-Crocheted Dress Good Style the Year Round By CHERIE NICHOLAS IiM M lif a s A R , FOR-a dress that is cool Io wear on hot sultry days, warm and “comfy” to wear on cool days, a dress that somehow or other pos­ sesses the magic of fitting into the scheme of things, whether it be go­ ing places about town during the ac­ tive hours of the day or doing more or less of a society stunt at informal bridge party or tea in the afternoon at the club. The answer? Well, here it is right before your very eyes in the ac­ companying illustration — dresses that are hand-crocheted of mercer­ ized cotton. Yes’m, a dress like either of the models pictured will prove a friend in need and indeed at any time of the year. As to solving the mid-season problem of something to wear that tides over the gap between fashions old and fashions new, you’ll find a hand- crocheted dress gives the perfect answer. Such a gown is correct and likable to wear this very min­ ute and for the girl who will be far­ ing to school in the early autumn days. The best way of putting to the test all we have been saying about the crochet theme is to make sQch a dress for yourself. Just a few lei­ sure moments devoted here and there, that would otherwise be wast­ ed, to the crocheting thereof and in an unbelievably short time you will be the exultant possessor of a dress that will prove a treasure in your wardrobe, the whole year round. Want to try it? Well, here’s how! —go to your nearest fancy work shop or department. There you will find oodles of mercerized crochet cottons in adorable colors. How- , ever, that once done, together with the acquiring of exactly the right size crochet hook, not forgetting to ask for a pamphlet of instructions as how to make, which is always available where you buy yams. There’s good news for crocheters this year in that the idea of styling is being played up for all it is worth. For the first time crochet has been treated like fabric. The result is a collection of crocheted dresses unmatched for smartness, wearability, fit and individuality. Most important is the way in which the newer crocheted frocks fit and mold the figure. Dressmak­ er touches are also stressed. Pad­ ded shoulders are emphasized, zip­ per closings are used, skirts swing gracefully, with a view to achieving the young look so much exploited this season. Typical of the new crochet fash­ ions is the casual, neat-as-a-pin dress as shown to the left in the pic­ ture. A decorative zipper down the front, closing at the throat with two pompoms, high-placed pockets and a wide contrasting belt give it the dressmaker touches. Even the belt is crocheted. Worked in lustrous mercerized crochet cotton, the en­ tire outfit is simple to make. The hand-crocheted dress to the right has the stylish look. Its lines are fluid and soft with the shoulders slightly exaggerated to slenderize the silhouette, making 'it graceful for the more mature figure as well as for the slim and svelte young woman. The stitch is open and lacy —delightfully cool to wear through­ out the summer. Later on you will find this type gown an ideal starter for the fall wardrobe. (Released by WMtern Newspaper Union.) Designer Visions Coming Fashions Quoting Edith Head, top designer of clothes for Hollywood notables: “The reign of the popular simple frock or suit is over. Everything indicates that the fall and winter styles will be lavish in fabric and extremely romantic and flattering. Clothes will doubtless cause social functions to’ increase in formality and it will be, all and all, a dressy season.” “I am sure,” predicted Miss Head, “that there will be no cer­ tain or definite skirt, sleeve, or coat lengths in the coming trend. Wom­ en will dress strictly to their own individuality, getting away from the ‘sheep’ fads and crazes which made all of us look alike for the past sev­ eral years. At least feminine fashions will assume something else than ‘all poured of the same mold.’ “The high note of the new trend,” said the designer, “will be magnif­ icence of material. Silks, brocades, velvets, and embroidered fabrics will be abundant and tailored, all­ purpose models will hear a definite death knell.” Rich Silk Fabrics For Coats, Suits It is with an eye to the future that women are buying the smart new coats now showing in the mid­ summer collections, made of rich silk fabric. A costume of the hand­ some bengalines and such will car­ ry through until the “frost is on the pumpkin.” The appeal of these handsome suits is not to be with­ stood by best dressed fashionables. Red Dots White Still the rage for polka dots goe. on. In the picture if is white silk chiffon with red polka dots that fashions a most captivating eve­ ning dress. For country club wear and city roofs under starlit skies with music in the air here is the gown ideal. The halo hat in tones of red matches the kid belt which is tied with a fabric bow. The brace­ let is the new-type bubble glass that glitters in prismatic colors. Jlsk M e Jln o ih er m A General Quiz The Questions 1. What does the nautical term “anchors aweigh” mean? 2.

The Modem Sisyphus V/IOST of us have read about Sisyphus who was con­ demned to roU a heavy boulder up a hill. He never reached the top for every time he neared it the stone rolled back and he had to start all over again. Isn’t it that way with shaving? Wars may rage, kingdoms fall, stocks crash or soar, business go haywire or reach dizzy heights of profits—but man must go on every morning before breakfast scrap­ ing away at his chin, doing a good job, too, with the disheartening knowledge that he will have to do exactly the same thing tomorrow. He never has the thrill of a job reaching finality. He never has the satisfaction of writing finis. Short of becoming hermits or ex­ plorers, all we can do is to sneak away occasionally on an alleged fishing trip and there cache our razors until civilization claims us again.—Voice Writing.

NORTH CAROLINA, W EDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1939 NUMBER 3 NEWS OF LONG AGO. V b l Was Happening In Davie Before The New Deal Used Up The Alphabet, Drowned' The Hogs and Plowed Up The Cotton and Corn. (Davie Record, Aug. 7 , 1 9 1 8 .) Miss Lola Ward, of Pino, was in town Friday shopping. Miss Hester Swing, of R. 2, re­ turned Monday from a visit to friends at Concord. What Are You Doing About It? Last week we were np in Wash­ ington, D. C., and bad a conversa .tion with a certain gentleman tip there which proved to be rather in­ teresting. We were talking about expendi­ tures of government, including the cost of relief,' WPA and other items. “I was reared in Pennsylvania,” he told us,” “and as a boy I re­ member five or six fellows ‘in ' oiir day from a short visit to heT sisters at Mt.

Mr. Kirk, of Clemi jnons, performing the ceremony. Miss Sarah Miller returned S un-^offfl who never had any desire for work. They spent most of their time hanging around pool-rooms. Sometimes they’d get a temporary I fob1 but they would grow weary of it and would go back to loafing again. “ Recently I went up borne on a brief vacation. I saw some of those same fellows. They are now grown men, but they're still hanging a roUnd the pool-halls. There’s only one difference: they’re on .'relief, and you might say that they are getting paid for loafing. Aud the folks who are having to foot the bill are you and I, and all others who work.” There is nothing particularly new about tliat, and the chances are that you have beard the same thing before. Of course, there are two sides to the picture. On our relief rolls to day there are m. ny thousands of worthy individuals: people who, because of hard luck or misfortune, have been unable to get anything to do. And permit us to say, with reference t.o that class of individuals that they are worthy of relief and should be given assistance. We're for them. All of us know, however, that there are many people who are on relief and have no business being there. There are many people holding down W PA jobs who have relatives to look after them but who find it more convenient to let the government undertake that job. There are others who, because of some local political pull and abl'ity to get out thb votes, have been al­ lowed to get on the relief rolls as a reward for their services. They aren’t entitled to assistance and don’t deserve to get it. They are keeping other and more worth folks from getting help. The situation, instead of showing signs of improvement, appears to be groming steadily worse. W hit are we you going to do a- bout it? “ What can I do," may be your reply to that query. “ I agree with everything you have said, but there’s nothing I can do.” And that seems to be the gener­ al attitude of the average through out the country. AU are agreed that the government is spending, many millions of dollar J for relief that onght not to be spent. But what can be done about it? Here’s a suggestion: x One of the reasons that there are are so many people getting help from the government is because nobody knows anything about it. Right now, we'd be willing-' to wager that you don’t know one third of the people in your dwn community who are getting this form of assistance. Most of; us don’t know a soul. j In various cities aud toim: throughout the country there hn being formed organizations to sttjdy. tax problems, efficiency in. local government and other things | of that kind. There's one of them) in Raleigh and there probably aresev. eral others in the State. If organt- zations of this type would make| a study of the relief rolls and. b e WPA rolls and stir up a fuss abltjt those individuals who have no right to receive aid-from tbe government, the chances are that romething worth, while could be accomplished. Furthermore, it is our belief that it a fund, were raised, to pay _for the c >st of publishing in local news papers the names of all who are getting help from Washington, such a course also would prove beneficial. Someone might suggest: 4Tt wouldn’t be right to parade the names of these unfortunate indivi­ duals in public priut.” But if we publish tbe names of the poor. un- foitunate individuals who can’t pay their city or'county taxes, then we fall to see why the names of other individuals who are on the relief rolls or are getting help in other way-, shouldn’t be published too. It would be done for their own protection aud undoubtedly would do away with a lot of fraud that exists at tbe present time. And let ns repeat, that in making this statement, we were not saying anything against those folks who are on relief because they can’t help themselves... The people we’re talk ing about now are those who are on relief because they won't help themselves. Let them continue to I aaf, if they so desire, but there is no sense in making the government piy them for loafing.—The State.- More OfTlieSame Thing. There have been so many losses sustained by the Federal govern­ ment in its loans to business already, that Jesse Jones, head man of the RFC which has one of tl.e govern­ ment's agencies in this field, is “a shamed to tell” a Senate inv&tiga-- ing committee. - Nevertheless, we are assured that the new lending speding measure which the White House has sent over for Congress to sign on the dotted line, a mea.\ure designed to dump somewhere between three’and four billions more in loans to busi­ ness for recovery purposes, will be accepted by the law makers anc authorized. Usually, when a crditor finds that an individual to whom.' money has been loaned, isn’t paying it back, be quits such a customer. But Uncle Sam1 still plavs Santa Claus with all alike.—Charlotte Oaserver. Praying The Polition Cant Stand. A Congregational Church minister of M'adisoh, Wisconson, will make no more prayers as chaplain of the Legislature of that state. - It all comes about because of the sort of prayer he mado recently in conveying that assembly. It was this short succinct, intelli­ gent, earnest: We invok etoy wrath upon repro­ bate men who come to this city to corrupt public official.' buy . and sell legislation, an traffic in the honor of government, W einvokethy wrath upon little men in large places who stoop to can­ ny shrewdness to thwart the people's will and reduce the business of pub­ lic affairs to mistrust and contempt.

' Senator Robert A-. -Taft, of I Ohio, arguing the RepublicanJpcint of view in a discussion of the political out look of the nation, asserted in an ad­ dress at Charlottesville, Va.. that the present lending program of the present lending program of the ad­ ministration is “even more danger- ouB than the present program.” Rep T. V.

The lending program, he contend­ ed, is “more dangeous than the spending program, for it moves the spending entirely from the control of the appropriations committees of House and Senate, which even in these dangerous days retain- a cer­ tain hardboiled attitude.” He described the Barkley bill as “merely a smoke screen for billionB of uncontrolled federal spending.” A Real Man .A real man never talks about- what the world owes'him, the hap piness he deserves, the-chance he ought to have, and all that.

G McGinniss announces a shake-up of North Carolina relief rolls which will result in the discharge of 'vir tually all persons who- have been employed continuously for the last eighteen months. It is estima'e-d that this wilt'effect 8 ,5 0 0 reliefers, or one cut of every five and the pu-girg i-' to start immediately. Only 3 .4 per cent of the younger workeis, 18 and - 19 years of age, have been employed continuons'y for eighteen months, while 3 1 .6 7 per cent of those who are 5 5 to 6 4 years are affected. That means that the shake up will work a hard, ship on those least able to find work in private industry, and there is added tragedy iu tbe fact tbe dis­ charge will apply to those actually working with their bands, for by some curious quirk of reasoning tbe shake up does not involve thore charge with administrative work, although some of these may be reached through the budget reduc­ tion: which will cut some of them from tbe payroll. W orkers w h o f o r eighteen months ' have been cashing their government pav check will find it mighty hard to get along without it. Some of them probably had figured that they were a perman ent fixture and may feel resentful, but those who-foot the bill will con­ sider that here is a start toward discouraging .the notion that the government is a permanent Santa Claus; that noses should be turned in the direction of private industry, and .that if it works a hardship it falls on those who for eighteen months have been given a lift, and who during that time haven’t tried very hard to 6 nd a niche some­ where else. When th isrh leis apolied it will hit many poor husbands Who have been faking it easy; likewise it -will strike at the family budget of other husbands who have been gainfully employed, but whose wives have -also been turning .in 0 substantial sum provided'by Uncle Sam. Most of the latter, however, are in the administrative bra kets and won’t be; reached —Statesville Daily. Miss Bogier Entertains.

Little Cotton Crop Too Much It looks aa if Iha South is not going fit make much of a cotton crop -this Vear from the standpoint of volume. It has planted the lowest number of acres in this crop In 39 years ard. in addition to that factor, the grow­ ing conditions in some of the major cotton producing states ha vejiot been conducive to a large yeald. - Tbe prospect is at thes date, for a crop of around 11 -.0 0 0 ,000 bales which ordinarily, wou'd be regarded , as small enough- to guarantee extra­ ordinarily high piices. But it so comes! about that with the loss of our foreign and the de­ creased cnnsumction of cotton in this country, plus the tremenous carry­ over from previous years now largely held in wareaouses and practically owped by the Federal Government, almost any production st all is too much to give the producers much hope. ' The south has always had this problem of cotto on its economic hands but it is doubtful if there has ever been a time whenjit was as com­ plicated and as difficult of intelligent and practical solution as it. is today.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C. E H S I n n D U J E S T BY TALBOT MUNDY • TAUOT MUMDV-'WNU SERVICE SYNOPSIS Captain Carl Norwood has been sent from his native England to the Kadur River dis­trict in India, along with his indispensable manservant, Moses O’Leary, soldier of for­tune. Norwood's job is to survey the dis­trict to determine whether a valuable secret diamond mine belongs to the temple priests or to the ruler, the Maharajah of Kadur. CHAPTER I—Contiiined 2 ■ Noor Mahlam chuckled. It was like the gurgle of dirty water and it swallowed the silk of his voice. Even his gesture changed. He became as hoarse as an auctioneer encour­ aging a doubtful bidder: “Sahib, there is newness at the palace such as never before was! There is a godsend in the guest­ house.. She has money, and a niece worth more than money. Oh, such loveliness! And oh, such ill temper! The aunt is never satisfied unless she is humiliating someone. She humiliates even His Highness. And the niece is never happy unless she can be as kind as her aunt is cruel.” “Why are they there?” asked O’Leary. “It is a mystery. Nobody knows.*’ “Who wants to know?” “Ah, sahib, you must not ask what I may not tell you.” “I’ll bet a month’s pay,” said O’Leary, “that the temple Brahmins have sent out a call for informa­ tion.” “Would it make any difference to you, Mt. O’Leary, where the two hundred rupees came from, suppos­ ing you had it?” . “Two fifty might tempt me. I’d think it over.” “Even that price might not be too high for exact information as to why Captain Norwood is in Kadur; and also why Mrs. Harding and Miss Lynn Harding are here at the same time. There is some connection. What is it?” “I’ll find out,” said O’Leary. “And you will sell me the infor­ mation?” “I’ll think it over. If I can’t find a higher bidder, maybe you and I can do business. You’d better watch out for me. I’ll take a stroll through the bazaar later on.” , “Very well, Mr. O’Leary. My of­ fice is—” “What do I care where your office is. D’you think I ’d let myself be seen calling on you? You keep a dekko lifting. You’ve plenty o’ spies. Find out where I go, and follow, and bring your money with you. Three hundred." “ “But sahib, we agreed to—” “I said three hundred. You’d bet­ ter go before I’m seen talking to you. Captain Norwood might be back any minute. If he should ask me who you" are I’d have to tell him*, and it wouldn’t sound nice. Him and me never lie to each oth­ er.” CHAPTER D Captain Carl Norwood was in noth­ ing yet that he or anyone could rec­ ognize as trouble. On horseback, followed by a mounted native order­ ly, he was entering the ancient gate • of Kadur City. A good-looking fel­ low, young to be a Captain of Royal Engineers. He looked more like a cavalryman. Inside the city gates, there was a stinking herd of loaded camels. They blocked the street. Norwood’s horse that wasn’t used to camels went into a panic. When he had calmed the horse he dis­ mounted, gave the reins to the or­ derly, and told him to let the horse get used to the smell of camels and follow, as soon as the camels were out of the way. He wanted to stretch his legs anyhow. Itwasonly . a mile walk to the Residency, on the far side of the city. The swarming streets were interesting, just before sunset, with the night life just be­ ginning. The Residency stood In a vast compound amid neem trees. Guard­ house—flagpole—Union Jack. The Residency guard of native Indian in­ fantry was turning out to pay the customary honors to the flag at sun­ set. The Resident was on the front i steps, middle-aged and military looking. Norwood had to wait until the brief ceremony was over. His reception was not cordial. The in­ vitation to dinner was perfunctory, so phrased that it was easy to re­ fuse.“I’m tired, sir. Long march. I would like to turn in early.” “Very well, Captain Norwood. Don’t let me inconvenience you. I was informed, of course,-''that you were coming. Can’t say that I ap­ prove of this survey of the Kadur River. The priests will resent it bit­ terly. There may be trouble enough as it is over the temple boundary dispute. The Maharajah claims own­ ership of certain buildings, beneath which it has been an open secret for ' centuries that the priests have a dia­ mond mine.i” “That’s why I’m here, sir. I was told that Prince Rundhia started the argument.” ^ “Yes, he’s heir,to the throne. He h@d to start it in the Maharajah’s naihe, but it was Rundhia’s idea. The Maharajah is a quiet old gen­ tleman, thank heaven. No initia­ tive. Satisfied to let things take their course. I believe the quarrel would settle itself, if we would let it alone. The diamond mine is one of those open secrets that do no harm until they’re aired by busy- bodies. The arrangement has worked perfectly well all these years. The priests don’t win many diamonds from the mine. Sometimes years go by without their finding any stones worth putting on the market. But they make an occasional find. They turn over a certain percentage to the Maharajah, and sell the re­ mainder for temple revenue. “Yes. There’s a rumor the mine is dangerous." “Good God, man! They don’t let anyone'near the mine—not even the Maharajah!” “Provision has been made for that, sir.” The Resident squirmed. “Well, take care that your—” he selected a word; he used it tartly: “—spies don’t make trouble.” Norwood returned to the city. The new street lights had been turned on. There was a swarm of homing traffic — bullock carts, camels, droves of pedestrians, scandalously noisy and decrepit autos. Norwood stood on a sort of traffic island in mid-street—an oasis of palms with an ancient fountain and one big glar­ ing arc-light. He could see the or­ derly bringing the horses; he might just as well wait for them. Threading its way through the traffic in the direction of the palace, there came one of those old-fash- She saw a cobra. ioned carriages in which zenana la­ dies take the air. It was magnifi­ cently horsed. Two mounted men rode ahead to clear the way, and they were followed by two runners armed with sticks. Two men in splendid livery on the box. Two footmen on a platform behind the carriage. Two more horsemen bringing up the rear. As the carriage drew near Nor­ wood, a terrifically noisy truck frightened the horses. Almost at the same moment, two elephants loomed into view from a side, street. The horses plunged. Thedriverhad hard work to control them. The car­ riage swayed violently. The right front wheel struck the curb, close to Norwood. The shock jerked open the door. The electric arc-light shone in, revealing the occupants. The coachman reined the horses to a standstill, shouting to the footmen to seize their heads. Diamonds, pearls, zephyry silken saris of the hue of Himtdayan dawn. Two women. The older, stout one raised a fan to hide her face. It was the other who held Norwood spellbound. She was young. She was full of laughter. She had mocking, excita­ ble, generous eyes that looked wild to lose their innocence and revel in what shouldn’t be, but is, and is amusing. She saw no evil, only humor in being stared at by a man who shouldn’t see her, and hadn’t expected to. Indian zenana ladies are supposed to shrink from men’s eyes. Hers met Norwood’s full, and full of laughter. Norwood, of course, recovered self-possession. He was in uniform, so he saluted. He was about to speak; he had thought of a properly gallant remark that would sound al­ most like a quotation from the “Ara­ bian Nights,” when the palace serv­ ants took the situation in hand. Tbe driver recovered command of his horses. The carriage moved on. The footmen jumped lip be­ hind. Norwoodwasleftwondering.. He had had a vision. He had never seen such a beautiful, girl. The older, stouter woman, who had. used the fan to'hide her face, should be the Maharanee of Kadur. But Norwood' knew she was child­ less; otherwise Prince Rundhia, the Maharajah’s nephew, would not be heir to the throne. The' ladies of Kadur have blade, not golden hair, so the younger girl could hardly be a relative. She might- be a princess on a visit from some northern In­ dian State. The orderly, selected because he was a native of Kadur, rode up with the led horse. “Has Prince Rundhia taken a wife?” Norwood asked him. “No, sahib.” One doe's not dis­ cuss zenana ladies—not with men of an alien race. The orderly grinned himself into the kind of silence that suggests the subject is forbidden. Norwood rode back to his camp, where ' Moses Lafayette O’Leary lied, like three men of three dif­ ferent races, about who had drunk the whiskey. “It was an emergency,” said O’Leary. “Yes, sir, I took the lib­ erty. But how can I get informa­ tion if I mayn’t count on your knowl­ edge o’ my honesty, and take a chance now and then on your over­ looking what would be impudence )1 someone else should do it? I have ^o treat my informants decent. Have you heard who’s staying at the pal­ ace? There’s a guesthouse in the garden full o’ women. Americans. Two. A young one. And an aunt yrho’d fill a hotel. Truck-Ioads o’ luggage. I’ve heard say the aunt dould make a brace of tigers wish mey’d looked the other way. They say she’s a holy terror. But .they tiell me the young one ’ud melt your lieart to look at her. They call the young one Miss Lynn Harding.” -,“What else have you found nut?” ■“Not much.” |“You’re about due for an Irish promotion. You’re getting too fat. I’ye my eye on a man who knows what work is.” “All right, sir. If you want me to talk-before I know what I’m talk­ ing about, I’ll do it. Here goes. The whole bazaar’s as full o’ dirty rumors as Stoddart’s dog is o’ fleas. There’s a game on, and it’s all set. They’re laying for us, and the way they figure it we’re in the bag al­ ready. I’ve been offered a bribe to tell why you’re in Kadur.” “Cash?” “No. Promises. Man name o’ Noor Mahlam.” . '• “Beyond that you were offered a bribe, did you get any other line on their intentions?” “No, I know we’re being spied on. There’s a saying in Kadur that diamonds see in the dark. We’re being watched now. We can’t afford a mistake. But they’ll try some more bribery first before they act ugly.” “Don’t take their money. Don’t take a gift of‘any kind from any­one.” . “Me?” “Yes. You.” “I’m incorruptible.” CHAPTER m Mrs. Deborah Harding, in leg­ gings, a short skirt, and a wide pith helmet, wearing goggles, and with a camera suspended somehow from her portly figure, prodded ruins with the ferrule of a green silk sunshade. Two palace servants danced attend­ ance on her, doing their obsequious utmost to prevent calamity. “Sahiba! Not good! Much too many cobra—kerait—scorpions—too bad. Come, look this way. Plenty ruins this way.” But Mrs. Deborah Harding wasn’t in the habit of taking the advice of anyone less than a Supreme Court Justice; nor would she hesitate to question that if it didn’t agree with her own convictions. She was dy­ namic, opulent, willful dignity per­ sonified. As honorary special corre­ spondent to The Woman Citizen, of AaronvQle, Clarendon County, Ohio, she was being an authority on ruins. She looked like authority. She had authoritative gestures, and a note-, book. It was close on sunset. Mrs. De­ borah Harding’s goggles were dusty. The blood-red sunrays confused her vision. She was one of those people who always believe what they see but nothing that they don’t see. She saw a cobra. She did not see that the stone, on which she set her foot, was loose, curved on its under side and resting insecurely on a flat rock. So she twisted her ankle and sat down—hard. It jolted every bone in her corpulent body. Two hundred and eight pounds of widow with bankers’ references and one hundred per cent opinions, can sit down harder than, a crate of groceries. “I never saw such people—such a country. I have travelled all around the world from America. I have visited numbers of countries. I have not seen your equate any­ where for inefficiency and lack of human intelligence. What shall I do now? I am in pain. Have you no ideas? Can’t you suggest some­ thing?” One of them mounted the pony and cantered away for assistance. Mrs. Deborah Harding sat fanning herself and making impotently harsh remarks about Uie swarms of flies that were looking for a last, lazy meal before going to sleep. The cantering servant drew'rein at an outlying police kana and, after a heatedly uncomplimentary debate with the policeman in charge, phoned the palace. The Maharanee was out: It entered no one’s head to consult the Maharajah; it was his hour of the day to study postage Thb napkins are also hemmed on except to the physician who should bring him his evening tonic. How­ ever, Prince Rundhia had returned that afternoon, from a visit to Delhi. Someone phoned him. Things hap­ pened. .. There are two palaces. Rundhia’s is separated from the Maharajah’s only by a high wall and two widths of glorious garden. Rundhia’s im­ ported patent automatic garage-door swung open. His imported ex-Czar- ist chauffeur whirled a Rolls-Royce to the front door. Rundhia took the wheel. They opened the front gate just in time. Another split second and he would have crashed it, sacked the lot of them, and bummed a new car from his aunt. There was a whirl of dust, a din of tooting. Headlights flooded the narrow roads with blinding glare. Three dogs and some belated chick­ ens died the death. Three villages gasped and called on thirty gods to witness their piety. Rundhia rammed on the brakes and got out of the car to bow to Mrs. Harding just as calmly, as blandly, as amus­ edly courteous as if he were en­ tering her drawing room. “Well, I am glad to see you,” said Mrs. Deborah Harding. “I don’t know who you are, but—” “Prince Rundhia, your host’s nephew.”, “How d’you do. You took your own time, didn’t you? I had begun to think no one was coming.” The garden guesthouse was a copy of a cottage at Juan Ies Pins. It had been Rundhia’s idea. The Prince had persuaded his aunt the Maharanee to go thoroughly modern for once. TJie Maharanee almost worshiped Rundhia, but she had compelled him to return from Europe by cutting off the supplies of cash. She wanted him to learn to be At for the throne. But Rundhia was always threatening to go to Europe agaiin unless she made things tolerable ;*so she had to make good his gambling losses and to humor his whims. No one had stayed at the guest* house until Mrs. Deborah Harding heard about it during her tour ol India. She knew exactly how tc contrive invitations. She considered she conferred a favor on the rules of Kadur by accepting their hospi> tality for herself and her niece. (TO BB CONTINUED) 4 - Ruth Wyetfi Spears g-3?

The score of crumbling buildings that still mark its site at the junc­ tion of the Laramie and North Platte rivers are to be preserved and restored as a memorial to the dauntless traders and soldiers who maintained this greatest of .all ref­ uges along the covered-wagon trail by means of which the West was won. ’ s Thei first known white men to visit the site were members of the Stuart party of the Astorians in the winter of 1812-13. Later it was a fur-trading post. In 1849 the United States army purchased Fort Laramie in order to establish authority over the streams of emigrants who were passing through the fort en route to California. By 1865 the Indian situ­ ation became so troublesome that Fort Laramie w as. made general headquarters of "the military , dis­ trict of the plains.” When the arteries of transconti­ nental commerce shifted to the south and the Indians were subdued and either confined to reservations or transported to other parts of the countoy, Fort Laramie languished, and in 1886 its abandonment was recommended. The last troops marched out of the old fort in 1889 and th^' military reservation was restored to the public domain the following year. Although half a century has passed since the Stars and Stripes waved over the historic old fort, since which time the place has been in the hands of various private own­ ers, many of the stout old buildings still stand, including a part of origi­ nal'Fort John and “Bedlam,” the bachelor officers’ quarters erected in 1852.

Some of the daily papers reported that he caught a marlin that weighed 7 0 pounds, while others papers said *he didn’t catch a fish. It may be all right to fish on Sunday, but can anyone imagine honest old Abe Lincoln William McKinley fishing on Sun­ day? We think not. The Record office will be closed all day Thursday. If the editor is alive and the Lord willing, he will be on the picnic grounds all day looking lor his “enemies” with a receipt book in one hand and the other ready to gataer in frog skins or cart wheels. We are hoping that all our subscribers who are due us on subscription will meet us with a smile on their lace and a frog skin or two in their hands. Thursday is the big Masonic pic­ nic, the day hundreds of old peo­ ple as well as young people look forward to from one year to the next. It is needless to say that thousands of people will be here from many sections of the country for this big annual event.. Some have already arrived fiom di?tant states, with others coming in daily. We trust that this will be one of the biggest and best picnics of all the 6 0 that have been held in the county. Governor Hoey will de liver the annual ar dress. He is one of the finest orators in the state, and will be heard by all who can get in hearing distance. The Mocks- ville high school band will furnish music for the picnic this year. If you haven’t made your plans to come to Mocksville Thursday, bet­ ter begin to do so now, as it is only two days until the. big event. Only Two Left. So far as we have been able to learn, there are but two men living in Davie county who haven’t miss­ ed a Masonic picnic since the first one was held at Cooleemee 61 years ago. The gentlemen are John N. I lames, of this city, and Henry Smithdeal, of Advance. Home-Coming at Fork. The annual home-coming will take place at Fork Baptist church next Sunday, beginning a t 10 o’clock. Among those on the pro 'gram will-be Rev. J. L. Vi'pper. man, noted Baptist preacher. A b<g dinner will be served at the noon hour.' -The public is cordial­ ly invited to come and bring well filled baskets. .............. Fork News Notes.

PARTON 1M E W YORK.—One day, a long ’ time ago, a 17-year-old girl, Janet Lord, was walking along Han­ over street in Boston, a place where you meet sea- Mother Roperf fa rin g m en To Sailors of from all ports The Seven Seas of the civilized world. Attract­ ed by a hymn tune, she stopped before a building, listened to the music of a melodeon, the lusty chorus of men's voices, and, at length, drawn by a power greater than her girlish timidity, she mount­ ed the steps and so entered the headquarters of the Boston Sea­ men’s Friends society. Thus des­ tiny took hold of Janet’s life and showed her the way to go. Now Janet Roper, honse mother of the Seamen’s Church institute on Sonth street, New Xork, is observing the fiftieth ' subsequently mar­ ried a Congregational clergy­ man, engaged in similar serv­ ice. They worked together in Gloucester, in Canada and in Oregon nntil her husband’s death in 1915, when she came to the Seamen’s institute on Sonth street. She has no illu­ sions about sailormen, holding them to be no better and no worse than other men. Her work, and her three daughters, living with her in Brooklyn, comprise her enthusiasms.

He was once Bemis professor of inter­ national law at Harvard, a post he took, somewhat in discouragement, when his career was diverted by the refusal in 1928 of the United States to join the League of Nations. The world’s leading authority on all questions pertaining to comity among nations, this world to him is no abstract thing, no matter of geographical division. Human affairs and re­ lationships are his passion. A Missourian—he was born in St. Peters in 1836—he reverses an attributed reaction of citizens of his commonwealth in that far from asking to be shown, he is at all times willing, nay eager, to demonstrate. Genial, incurably optimistic, men tally brilliant, he enjoys nothing so much as to stand at bay in intellec­ tual combat, indulging with D’Ar- tagnan’s ardor in sword-play, in thrust and riposte, until his oppo­ nents are either convinced or, at any rate, silenced. He will plunge into contest, or, if no struggle is waging, he is very likely to start one. Now 52 years old, Judge Hud­ son entered the League of Na- ' tions secretariat with its origin in 1919, and ever since he has been attached to it. Two years earlier, he was with the inquiry and peace terms commission established by the state depart­ ment and later, in Paris, was a member of the international law division of the committee to ne­ gotiate peace. Work then begun led directly to the World court bench when the league assem­ bly gave him the isecond highest vote—48 out of 50—ever re­ ceived by a, candidate.

Dean of fhe Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Unloa*) Lesson for August 13 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se* lected and copyrighted by International Council of ReUgious Education; used by ELISHA: A LIFE OF HELPFULNESS LESSON TEXT—II Kings 5:1-10, 14. GOLDEN TEXT—Be ye kind one to an* other.—Ephesians 4:32, “Loving kindness and tender mer­ cies” (Ps. 103:4) are among the glo- 'rious attributes of our God, and con­ sequently characteristic of those who love and serve Him. The world has all but forgotten these virtues, for in its brutal determination to achieve results there is only an out­ ward veneer of courtesy and consid­ eration which extends itself primari­ ly to those from whom some advan­ tage may be obtained or who are highly regarded because of their wealth or position. The poor and needy, the aged and afflicted are quickly brushed aside as unfortu­ nate hindrances in the path of prog­ ress. In ail 4imes God’s people have been those most considerate of oth­ ers. It is they who have given time and effort and means to help those in need. The life of Elisha is well characterized as a life of helpful­ ness. It is surprising to find how many of his miracles were for the purpose of helping others. > God’s servants are called to be leaders and to be preachers, but they are none­ theless called to carry on a life of helpful service. ' Elisha’s experience with Naaman suggests'how we may exercise such a ministry. Without seeking to designate verses in the text, shall we observe that we must I. Find' the One in Need. It is not always that the one with the deepest heed makes himself Known. In fact, it is commonly true that those who have the greatest need and are possibly the most worthy of help keep their sorrows to themselves. Certainly it is true that those afflicted with the leprosy of sin do not often come to church. We must go out and seel: them and bring them in. One of the weaknesses of many churches today is that they go through their regular services, which may include preaching the gospel, and then they lament the fact that sinners do not come to the services to hear and be saved. Let us be reminded that it is our busi­ ness to go out into the highways and the byways to find those in need. Naarn an’s experience illustrates how the simple word of a little slave girl was instrumental in bringing the leper in touch with the man of God. Had she failed in her responsibility, the prophet would have missed his opportunity-to minister. Even the humblest believer has his important work, seeking out the lost and needy, ana'may thus be the means of bringing about great blessing. U. Locate and Diagnose the Con­ dition. Naaman knew that he had leprosy, but he did not know that he had a blight of soul called pride. The prophet, acting under the guidance and control of God, struck right at the heart of things when he directed Naaman to crush his pride and to show his faith by obeying God's command to wash seven times in the Jordan. The story has many important ap­ plications. Let us be sure that in our efforts*to help people physically or socially, we get through to their real need, the need of Christ. Let us also be careful not to modify or change God’s requirement. There is one way of salvation—through faith in Christ; there is no other remedy for sin. A man "must be born again” or “he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (see John 3: 3-7). H men are too proud to go that way, they cannot be saved. Observe also that there was no re­ spect of persons on the part of Eli­ sha. Naaman was a great and dis­ tinguished man, ready to bestow rich gifts, but the man of God had no interest in those things. He want­ ed only to give God’s message. III. Apply the Remedy. One would be quick to condemn the trained physician who, having found his patient and having given his attention to his need, made a careful and accurate diagnosis and then sent him away without apply­ ing the cure which was in his pos­ session. As the servants of Christ the great Physician, engaged in the cure of souls, we need to be equally wise. It is commendable to engage in a discussion of the problems of needy men and women, expressing our heart interest in that need. It is desirable that we clarify our knowledge of their need and accu­ rately understand the truth of the gospel which meets that need. How­ ever, all of these things are quite meaningless unless they result in the bringing of the gospel to bear on the Uves of the unconverted. In San Juan, Paerto -Rico, Brig. Gen. Edmund L.

Origin of Skywriting Skywriting is a development of the World war and was originated in England by Maj. John C. Sav­ age, R. A. P., who conceived the idea as a means of sending mili­ tary signals over great distances when other communications were impractical or impossible. It was not perfected until after the war, however, and was used for adver­ tising purposes first when Capt. Cyril Turner wrote "Daily Mail” above the heads of amazed racing enthusiasts during the running of the derby at Epsom Downs in Eng­ land in May, 1922. In October of the same year Captain Turner introduced sky­ writing to America when he wrote “Hello, U. S. A.” high abov.e New York.—Hazel K. Wharton in New York Times.

When skies are blue and cloud­ less and the weather’s warm, a pic­ nic basket is the passport to fun. It may be a spur-of-the-moment pic­ nic with a simple lunch prepared from supplies on hand in pantry and refrigerator; or it might be a steak fry or barbecue with the food cooked on the picnic grounds; but it’s more likely to be an old-fash- ioned “family style” picnic for a half-dozen to a hundred hungry guests with plenty of good-tasting food of delicious variety. Whether your picnic is planned for a family, a Sunday school class, or a lodge, you’U t^iese I T ^ods prime fa- vorites with the guests. Recipes are given here in' quantities to -v serve a family; *" . for a larger number the dif­ ference is a simple process of mul­ tiplication. Cream Salad Dressing. I teaspoon mustard 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons flour 1 % teaspoons sugar Dash cayenne pepper I teaspoon butter I egg yolk % cup vinegar % cup heavy cream Mix all'dry ingredients together thoroughly. Add butter, egg yolk and vinegar. Place in doubly boiler and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Cool, fold in cream (stiffly beaten) and - serve with cabbage salad. Baked Beans .

EaMy in the day measure the cof­ fee into a sugar bag, allowing I ta­ blespoon per cup. Place this in the coffeepot with a little cold water and let it stand all day. Then when nearly time to serve, pour boiling water, which has been previously meas­ ured, into the pot. Boil S minutes, remove the bag, and your coffee is ready to serve. It will no't harm it.' to let it stand for a while. You will find that this unusual way of mak­ ing coffee will give you a most de­ lightful, full-flavored beverage, and at the same time saves considerable measuring and pot-watching when you want to be enjoying your picnic, too!

When we arrived, the lit­ tle edifice was well filled. Mr. Wilson, my brother Randolph and I were escorted to the Washington pew, given prayer books and left to ourselves. The service over, we were accompanied to the door by a member of the vestry and ,permitted to depart without any of (the crowding about which usually attends the appearance of a Presi­ dent, in public.' Also I was im­ pressed by the large congregation, for it was raining. Afterwards Mr. Jervis, one of the secret service men, asked:- ‘M” for Noon According to the United States Naval Observatory 12:00 M is al­ most universally used to desig: nate 12:00 o’clock noon. M in this connection is an abbreviation of “Meridiem,” the accusative of the Latin “meridies,” meaning mid­ day. “May I tell you a story?” This is the story: Knowing our plans, Mr. Jervis had reached the church at 9:30, finding it closed and not a soul about. At the nearest house he inquired whether there was to be a service. The man did not know, but said that* the preacher was holding Sunday school at his own home and that Jervis might in­ quire of him. At the minister’s bouse Mr. Jervis found a young man instructing a group of bare­ foot girls and boys. Jervis asked the man whether there would be a service at the church, because the President had intended to come. “The President of what?” asked the clergyman. “Of the United States,” replied Jervis. The minister looked at his caller sorrowfully. “Young man, are you ill?” he asked. Jervis showed his badge, adding that the President and Mrs. Wil­ son were due in an hour. The minister clapped his hands. “Chil­ dren, Sunday school is dismissed. All of you run home and tell your fathers and mothers the President is coming to church and I want a good congregation to welcome him.” Then he turned to Jervis.

You run over to the church and tell the' sexton to ring the bell— vigorously.” jAt the church Jervis found the old sexton opening the door. He gave the minister’s mes­ sage. The sexton’s mouth stood open for a minute. Then he said* “Here, you ring that bell. It’s just outside in a tree. I got to go home and shave.”—Edith Bolling Wilson in The Saturday Evening Post.

The Davie Record is 41 years old, the present editor and publisher of which, Frank Stroud, has been at. its helm for 3 2 of these years. I There is much intriguing in what Editor Stroud says of his labors during these more than three de cades. In bis anniversary statements is mirrored much of the experience through which every newspaper, great or small, passes at some stage of its life, as well as au adequate reflection too of the personal reac­ tions of those whose energies go into its making: Hear him: “ In spite of all the hardships, cussings, broken presses and smash ed type, we have managed to get the paper out on time every week without missing an issue. The Re cord editor has seen the town grew from a small country village iuto a live, progressive town, with all city conveniences. There is but one firm doing business here today that was in operation when we arrived—C. C. Sanford Sons Co. We have tried to serve the public in every way possible since coming here. We made a hard fight for good roads, good bridges,. better schools and inoTe co-operation among the peo­ ple of the entire county, and we have lived to see our dreams come true. It will be our aim to carry on this good work, always working for a better town and county in which to live.” Our brother quite clearly senses what a newspaoer’s duty is in re­ spect to the community in which it is located. He states the case ad­ mirably. —Charlotte Observer. Davie Record Is On Its 41st Year Now. Union Republican.

Mr. Murphy should know wbat he is talking about, and the facts are awful. Six billion dollars a year to national and local office holders! About a $ 2 0 0 tax each to the average family and more than one-eigth of the national income! That, is, to a certain extent, the price of poltics, and we repeat that it is awful. We agree with Mr Murphy that au end should be put “to tbe an cient practice of passing out govern­ ment jobs in payment of poltical debts.’’ Hedoes not . think it is necessary to make anv drastic cur tailment of governmental functions and activities in order to eliminate at least a ,million of these public employees and reduce the payroll by more than a billion dollars. Both parties are to blame, of course, and may be expected to resist stoutly any effort to do away with machine politics, but the voters should see to it that a billion dollar operation be performed on tbe public payroll, as Mr. Murphy suggests.

Third Term not chief Reason The Charlotte Observer: — The RepiibIirans seem general'y to feel that the next Presibential plection is theirs and in the bag. The Democrats somewhat geher ally fear that the Republicansleel right about the .natter The disatisfaction among the latter is the larget fly in the oin’- ment. It is the lack of nn'y that may tear the Democraiic convention to -mithereens, conc'evably doing al­ most ever) thing to mreck its pres­ tige and statding in the next ref- erenbum. e 'en to tlie naming of an indepei.de:.t whoVonld even he the present Prerident, if he sboeld de­ sire the regular nomination and miss it. Tbe Gallop poll, however, shows that the President is unimpressively popular as a third termer which,in our convention, is not so much be­ cause he may De a third termer as that the mind of theconutry is pre- gressive'y moving toraord a more conservative President to succeed him Speed Ys. Economy. Economy and Bafely go together in driving. Harold T. Hammond, prominent traffic engineer of the National Con­ servation Bureau, accident preven­ tion department of the Association ] of Casualty and Surety Executives, gives three outstanding examples of this rule. 1. Moderate Bpecd saves wear and tear of the engine and reduces tire, gasoline; and oil consumption This is confirmed by careful esti­ mates showing that on the basis or a 1 ,000 -mile journey the cost per mile f r oil, gas, tires and maintenance is two and one fifth cents at 45 miles an hour. When the speed goes up to 55 miles an hour the cost per mile mounts to three .and three-tenths cants, or about one third greater— and eacL hour saved costB over $2! Moderate speed also tends to cut down accidents. Statistics show that high speed is the greatest single element in the nation’s toll of high way deaths. Authoritative figures indicate, also, that the higher the speed the more serious the accident —at 40 to 49 miles an hour, one in­ jury accident in 30 .is fatal; but at 50 miles and faster, one injury acci­ dent in 13 is fatal. 2. Easy starts and stops saves i gas, tires and brakes. It has been 'figured that a flashy get-away uses up double the gas of an easy one, and that every time vou stop on a dime you waste a dollar’s worth of rubber. Easy starts and stops also hi Ip prevent C o'liaions at intersections. In ciries, more than half of all in­ jury a. cirients occur at intersection--. Manv of th-sa are collisions hetween two vehicles unable to stop in. rim", and rear-end smashes caused by sudden stops. Hence the driver who would avoid mishaps should tak it easy at crossings. 3 Inspection of the car before a trip mav save possible delavs and breakdowns. A charge of $15 for towing a disabled automobiie five miles is not unusual, and this doe? include the cost of repairs. By following these three rules— moderate speed, easy starts and s ops, snd safe car maintenance — the Bureau’s traffic experts poin out. the motorist will achieve the . double purpose of saving money and avoid accidents. —Ex. Not Profitable. Umerock Mine Will Be Open In Yadkin. Gordon Hackett, of North Wilkes- boro, member of the State highway commission, has issued an order calling for the opening at an early date of the Iimerocd mine near Si- loam on the Yadkin river and min­ ing will get under way. Mr. H acket. has authorized the Yadkinville convict camp officials to use convict labor in reopening tbe old mine deposit, the lime to be used for agricultural purposes. Grover Sherman, superintendent of the Yadkinville convict force, has charge of the work which was begun at the mine this week. Up until the flood of 1916. the mine was operated by a private com­ pany very profitably. That flood de­ stroyed tbe machinery and deposited heavy debris in the lime pits which was never removed and the work was abandoned. It is said that lime can be mined from this deposit,'which is unlimited, and sold to farmers at $1.50 a ton at the mine, a dan effort has been made to have the mine opened for some time. According to a recent geological test the mine produces lime of a very fine quality.

The state A B C stores sold only seventeen million dollars worth' of alcoholic liquors last year. O nthe construction, maintenance and im­ provement of Virginia roads, tbe state and federal governments last year spent but twenty six million dollars. Gross farm income in 1 9 3 8 for Virginia, on tbe other band, was approximately 170 million 'dol. lirs.

EHSI nno UIEST BY TALBOT MUNDY OTAUOT MUNBY—rWNU SERVICE SYNOPSIS Captain Carl Norwood has been sent from bis native England to the Kadur River dis­trict in India, along with his indispensable manservant, Moses O'Leary, soldier of for­tune. Norwood's job is to survey the dis­trict to determine whether a valuable secret diamond mine belongs to the temple priests or to the ruler, the Maharajah of Kadur. Norwood calls on the British Residency to pay his initial respects. On bis way he catches a glimpse of two women In a palace carriage, one ot whom is young and beauti­ful The other woman he knows to be the Maharanee of Kadur. O’Leary later tells him that the young woman is an American girl named Lynn Harding, who with her aunt, Mrs. Deborah Harding, is a guest at the palace. On a sightseeing tour Mrs. Harding sprains an ankle, and sends to the palace for- aid. Prince Rundhia, handsome, spoiled nephew of the rulers, comes to her rescue. CHAPTER III—Continued Lynn Harding had been becoming troublesome. The skillful tyranny of Aunty’s moneyed fostering had forced Lynn to postpone the natural rebellion of youth to an age at which some girls are steadying down. Lynn’s rebellion had hardly more than begun. Aged twenty-two, she had been denied the democratic grace of college education. Aunty, who held the purse-strings, knew that colleges corrupt; and what Aunty knew, was so. No one could change Aunty’s opinions. Lynn hadn’t tried to change Aunty. But she had learned to.be strategic and even diplomatic. She had assented, without enthusiasm, to become en­ gaged to a decadent F.F.V. But there, Aunty’s first reverse had caught her completely off-guard. An immovable will and an irresistible explosive met. Lynn blew up. She didn’t merely break the engage­ ment. She smashed it. She scat­ tered its splintered fragments, reck­ lessly. So Aunty beat a strategic retreat. She decided on a world tour. It had been fairly successful, barring occasional incidents on shipboard and in hotels. The almost incredi­ bly beautiful Lynn had received enough attention from unpedigreed, or at any rate uncertified, strangers to keep Aunty on the war-path. The British officers in India had given Aunty plenty to worry about. So the invitation from the Maha­ ranee of Kadur had come like a godsend. It gave Lynn a romantic outlet for enthusiasm in impeccably respectable surroundings, where there were no undesirable men to ruin Aunty’s dream of a correct and socially influential marriage. So this Prince was a staggerer. He had been absent when the Hard­ ings arrived, frequently mentioned but not expected to return for sev­ eral weeks from what was spoken of as a vacation. Aunty had had a good look at him in the full glare of the headlights of the Rolls-Royce. He was a worse shock than the un­ dignified bruise and the twisted an­ kle. He resembled one of those young Argentine plutocrats who used to corrupt Paris until the price of beef and wheat reduced them to the level of common mortals. A splendid figure of a man, perfectly tailored. Manners that only money can buy and cynicism support. Beautifid eyes, without a trace of effeminacy and not yet betraying signs of having, lived too furious­ ly. An all-conquering male. Heir to a throne as old as England’s. With astonishing strength he lifted Aunty from the earth and placed her on the soft-springed cushions that made her sigh with physical relief and mental horror. Auntyknewshe was up against it. The Prince drove her with skill. He avoided bumps. He damned the guard at the palace front gate with the voice of a cul­ tured gentleman and a vocabulary that Atmty instinctively knew was scurrilous.- At the arched entrance to the guesthouse patio, he lifted her out. He caused servants to come like firemen to a burning house. He sent immediately for his private Bengali doctor, a member of bis own household. “Competent, Mrs. Harding, I as­ sure you. Discreet, I guarantee.” Almost simultaneously with the arrival of the Bengali doctor, who looked devilishly discreet and more afraid of Aunty than if she were the devil’s own widow, the Maha­ ranee’s carriage drew up, with its horses’ noses snorting on top of the Rolls-Royce. Out got Lynn, too full of excite­ ment and alarm and fun and sym­ pathy to remember she should veil her face. She could hear her aunt through the open guesthouse win­ dow. Lynn came running into the glalre of Rundhia’s headlights. “Who are you? What is wrong with Aunty?" “Your aunt has hurt herself. My physician and some women are ex­ ploring for broken bones. I believe it is nothing serious." Aunty, it was obvious, thought oth­ erwise. She wasn’t liking the doc­ tor. She was calling him a fool, and she could make the word sound like a description of a flunkey caught stealing.The Maharanee had to be cere­ monially, helped out of the carriage. She, too; had heard Aunty's yells. She was overflowing with eagerness to overwhelm an injured guest with kindness, but she couldn’t run' as fast as Lynn. And then Rundhia stood in the way, smiling, careful not to embarrass Lynn with gallan­ try. “Nothing,” he said in English, to the Maharanee. “A twisted ankle. A bruise. A little badly shaken I believe. My doctor is attending to her. ,Won’t you introduce me to the goddess?” The Maharanee purred. Sbe un­ veiled her face. She put her arm around her lamplit protegee: “Lynn darling, this is my nephew Prince Rundhia. He is a bad boy, but I do hope you will like each other. Rundhia, this is Miss Lynn Harding, who is teaching me how Americans do things; and I am hav­ ing such fun pretending she is one of us. I wish she werel Oh, how I wish it." Presently, when the doctor came out, Rundhha eyed him in the lamp­ light with a stare that made the Bengali flinch. He did his best to look like a confidential, dignified re­ tainer, but it didn’t work. Aunty had broken his dignity, and his fear of the Prince had no covering left. He almost stammered: “Nothing broken. Tape—iodine— bandages. She will soon recover.” He made a sudden, nervous effort to regain the feeling of being impor­ tant and on the inside of events. “Have you heard that Captain Nor­ wood, of the Royal Engineers, has “Wonderful! But n< won't do!" arrived? He is in camp outside the city.” Rundhia looked startled. The doc­tor continued: “He has with him an Eurasian named Moses O’Leary who, they say, already is poking his ugly nose into what is none of his business.” Lynn Harding stood examining the Rolls-Royce. She was quite teed to luxury, but even Hollywood owned nothing like that thing. Its gadgets and gold-plated adornments were a sufficiently good excuse for giving Aunty’s temper time to cool off. So she lingered, letting the Maharanee go alone into the guesthouse. Alone- ness, of course, included three serv­ ants, but a Maharanee is lucky who endures only six eyes to watch what she does, and six ears to hear what she says. Lynn could not hear what Prince Rundhia was saying to the doctor, but he was doing all the talking and die felt fairly sure that he was talking about her. He strode toward her looking as deadly self-assured as Mephistophe- les. Lynn fell on guard. “You win,” said Rundhia. “Win what?” “Whatever you came for.” “I came for a good time.” “Uh-uh? Been having it?” “Yes. Your aunt has. been con­ ducting me into Indian mysteries." “We have none,” said Rundhia. "We are an open book. We are three hundred and fifty million peo­ ple, every single one of whom car­ ries his heart on his sleeve. You are the mystery. Have you a heart? Where is it?” Lynn laughed: “Is that any of your business?” “Of course it’s my business.” “Why?” “Because you are the most beauti­ful mystery I have ever seen. Ev­ ery mystery is an invitation to find the right key.” “Oh, are you a detective?” .“You bet I am. I’ve detected your cruelty. You intend to keep me guessing. I can’t endure it.” Lynn laughed again: “Should I pity you?” “No. PiQr and compassion are the twin curses of India. We’re so compassionate to one another that we hate one another for not being even more miserable than we are, so as to be able to mop up greater floods of useless pity.” “So you’re an iron man?” “No—nor a jellyfish. I have a leathery disposition, due to talents that have dried from lack of use.” “ Oh, are you lazy?” “No. Iron has entered into me. It’s Jike a spur that dug too deep and keeps on working inward. It irritates abundant energy that has no outlet. Add boredom to that, and what have you?” “It sounds like an explosive mix­ ture. Aren’t you afraid you may blow up? I believe you’re sorry for yourself.” “Sorrow is not in me,” he retort­ ed. “I don’t know the emotion.” “Not even when you make mis­ takes?” “I never make them. Amistake is what a fool does to an opportunity. All that I have lacked until now is a real opportunity.” Mrs. Harding’s voice came through the guesthouse window sharply impatient: “Lynn! Lynn! Where are you?” • “All right, Aunty. I’m coining.” Experienced tyranny knows count­ less ways of compelling submission. Aunty groaned on a sumptuous bed: “No, don’t let me trouble you. Don’t let me be a nuisance. I am sure that the cares of a palace must be more than enough. You must fry to forget my existence. Lynn can look after me.” Lynn’s eyes met the Maharanee’s —deep unto deep. The Maharanee looked rather like a New York East- side Jewess who has risen through the ruck of immigration to the ranks of affluence and prestige. Full-bos­ omed, matronly, kind, but aware that the world is full of pitfalls: aware that the world needs kindness, but can misinterpret and cruelly re­ sent good intentions. She had the genius, gentleness, iron. She had also a will that no Deborah Harding could bully to obedience. Lynn undid a necklace from the palace heirlooms, and handed it to the Maharanee. She began to re­ move a bracelet, but the complicat­ ed fastening prevented. She held out her wrist. “Please. I must get into some clothes that Aunty thinks respecta­ ble and stay with her.” The mild, plump Maharanee coun­ tered with surprising firmness: “Darling, we will expect you to dinner. Yes, I will take the jewelry because it must be returned to the Keeper of the Jewels. I will choose two- women from my own attend­ ants who shall take care of Mrs. Harding. She almost flounced out, giving Aunty no time to reply. There was silence until the drum-beat of the horses’ hooves died away along the drive in the direction of the palace. Then Aunty spoke: “This comes of making social con­ cessions. I never heard of such audacity. Did you hear her speak to me as if I were a servant or a charity patient? Go and take off that immodest costume. It suggests a fancy-dress ball in a bad house.” “Aunty, the doctor has promised to return with something to relieve the pain, so that you will get some sleep.” “Sleep! While you are doing what in the palace? Do you think I am deaf, blind? Do you think I have forgotten your flirting on board ship and in hotels until I blushed for you? I heard you, through the win­ dow, talking to Prince Rundhia.” “Aunty, I think I hate you. It makes me feel mean and ungrate­ ful. I would so much rather love you.”"I have left off hoping to be loved,” said Aunty. “I demand your respect. That m ayteachyou to respect yourself and so merit the respect of your equals. Love? Gratitude? Illusions! I have learned that." Lynn went and changed into black silk Chinese pajamas. They would remind Aunty of that fancy-dress ball on board ship, when the penni­ less son of a Tirhoot planter had made the pace so hot that Aunty nearly had fits. Lynn stared at her own reflection in the mirror, not quite liking it. She smiled at her­ self, just to see what the smile would look like. The Maharanee returned from the palace, excited, fawned on by four women. Two meek men-servants followed her with baskets of provi­ sions. Lynn ran to greet her. The Maharanee almost squealed at the sight of Lynn in black pajamas with her golden hair massed in becom­ ing contrast. “Wonderful! But no, that.won’t do! Yes it will, yes it will! I forget. I am so excited, I forget! We are to have an informal supper party at the palace, instead of dinner—truly, truly unconventional — modem — a picnic!” “Oh, my God!” said Aunty. But the Maharanee could be as deaf as Fate when it pleased her to be. She continued, Mmost breath­ less: “His Highness my husband” (she always spoke of the Maharajah as His Highness my husband) “has heard that CaptMn Norwood is in Kadur. Captain Norwood is a RoyM Engineer. He is sMd to be a man of great attainments. His Highness my husband is very eager to be pleasant to him.” “Engineer?” said Aunty. “Yes, he is to make a survey of the Kadur River. It would'not be etiquette to notice him until after he makes his formM call, which he should do tomorrow. However, I persuaded His Highness my hus­ band, who is a very conventional man, but now and then he listens to me.” She turned to Aunty: “We are so, so sorry, Mrs. Harding, that you can’t be with us.” “I will spare you that regret,” she answered. “I will be there. You have a rickshaw? Your women can help me to dress, I don’t doubt. Lynn and I will be leaving as soon as I am fit to travel. A last sup­ per in your pMace will be some­ thing to remember.” “Oh, how gracious of you,” said the Maharanee. “But are you quite sure—” The Bengali doctor appeared, cau­ tious, with a bedside confidentiM air that did not, however, prevent the Maharanee from instinctively veil­ ing her face. “Mrs. Harding, I have a little pei- Iet for you, just one little pellet, prepared specially.” “Thank you, I don’t take pellets.” The doctor hesitated. The Ma­ haranee spoke through her veil: “Mrs. Harding is coming to sup­ per at the palace." “Oh?” said the doctor. “Well, perhaps she -$rill take the medicine at supper. Shall I send it by a servant? She should take it with a little piece of bread or with a glass of water.” ‘Thank you, you needn’t trouble,” sMd Mrs. Harding. “I need no med­ icine.” ‘Come, Lynn.” The Maharanee could hardly wait while Lynn looked for a wrap. “So long, Aunty. See you later.” "Does she never consult an astrol­ oger?” the Maharanee asked. Lynn laughed: “She did once— and only once!” “But you? You believe in them?” “I think the answer is no. I know so little about them—practically nothing. But aren’t they charlatans? I’ve aways been told that they are.” “Oh, many of them are,” the Ma­ haranee admitted. “There are char­ latans in all professions. We have a very good court astrologer. I will order him to cast your horoscope. In fact, I have already consulted him about it.” “What fun! But please do keep it secret from Aunty. She would have conniption fits.” (TO BE CONTINUED) No Explanation Offered for Planet Mystery Astronomers of the late Nine­ teenth and early Twentieth cen­ turies spent some 40 years disprov­ ing the discovery of a new planet between Mercury and the sun, writes Dr. Heber D. Curtis, director of the University of Michigan ob­ servatories, in an article in the Michigan Alumnus Quarterty Re­ view. During the totM eclipse of 1878, says Dr. Curtis, two bright, star- like objects near the sun were ob­ served by Michigan’s Prof. James CrMg Watson, one 'of America’s leading astronomers and, according to former President James B. An- gell,,the most brilliant man ever graduated from the University of Michigan. The existence of a planet inside the orbit of Mercury had long been predicted by theoreticM as­ tronomers, he writes, Mthough the body had never been seen. Wat­ son’s observations, therefore, he says, were herMded as the discov­ ery of a new member of our plan­ etary family. Confirming Watson’s discovery, he adds, were the ob­ servations of Prof. Lewis Swift, who saw one of, the bodies only a few seconds later than Watson during the' same eclipse/- Not until the observations of the totM eclipse of 1918 did scientists give up Watson’s discovery as a mistake, Mthough no one had ever been able again to observe either of his two intramercuriM bodies. During each eclipse from 1878 until that time, astronomers set up and ran intramercuriM cameras in the search for Vulcan, as the “theoret­ icM” planet had been named. “These famous observations of Watson’s,” Dr. Curtis asserts, “dety any satisfactory explanation. Per­ haps as probable a theory as any is that he saw a moderately bright comet with an almost stellar nu­ cleus.” The relatively strong illumi­ nation of the sky background, he explains, would have prevented the detection of a tail, while the failure of astronomers to find the comet after it had left the immediate vicin­ ity of the sun is explained by the fact that all comets enormously de­ crease in brilliance as they leave the sun, and a small one observed near the sun might never be seen again because its light would di­ minish by hundreds of times within a short time. While this theory may explain one of Watson's intramer­ curiM objects, says Dr. Curtis,. no explanation has been offered for the otter. T o p i c s MTT .K STILL RATES AS PERFECT FOOD Nutrition Studies Disclose High Vitamin Content. By DB. MORRIS FISHBEIN •In the last quarter century the field of nutrition has advanced more than in all the previous centuries of mankind. In that advance milk has held its place as the most nearly perfect food. From the point of view of protein and ot fat, of min- erM salts and of vitamins, it stands supreme. True, milk is somewhat deficient in vitamin C, in vitamin D, and in iron, but these vMues are easily supplied and no other food gives as much as milk for the money. I It there is any other highly im­ portant fact which our studies have reveMed, it is that ordinarily we do not consume as much milk as we should, being led frequently by im­ proper advice to other foods not nearly as efficient in human nutri­ tion. Yet one-fifth of the food budg­ et of the average American family is used for milk and milk products. So important is milk for the hu­ man being that the health section of tiie League of Nations has recently made available a study of this prod­ uct by a committee with represent­ atives from Denmark, Holland, Eng­ land, and France. It may surprise many Americans to relize that the milk supply in most foreign coun­ tries does not approximate in its general safety the average milk sup­ ply of the United States. In many countries it has been cus­ tomary to gloss over the unsatis­ factory contents of the milk sup­ ply with the assurance that the ben­ efits to heMth resulting from in­ creased consumption will outweigh the danger of drinking milk that is not hygienic. In this country we know that the development of a good milk supply begins back on the farm with the cows and the quality of feed given to the cows. Farmers Should Study Tractor Operating Cost Two factors are important in trac­ tor costs. One is the number of hours used, the other, economicM loading. The first entails a study of the machine’s varied uses, and of the possibility of increasing these uses. The latter necessitates a study of the draft requirement of different implements, and the ways and means of devising tractor hook­ ups. An example will help to make this point clear. A 14-inch mold- board plow at a certain depth will have a draft of 600 pounds. A one­ way plow 14 inches wide would re­ quire a pull of about 250 pounds, while that width of spike-tooth har­ row has a draft of only slightly more than 50 pounds. Such a variation is true of all field implements and to load a trac­ tor of a certain size economically, the operator must know the approx­ imate draft of each tool. Tractor engineers and farm man­ agement experts agree that each tractor owner should make a study of his machine to determine what will be an economical load, and then eliminate as much as possible the application of hitches with lower draft requirements. Manufacturers of tractors can furnish approximate figures on draft for each machine. Milk for Diet Although milk is considered by scientists as nature’s “most near­ ly” perfect food, it can supply the nutritive requirements of a mature body for a long period of time with­ out other supplement. The proof of this is well illustrated in the case of John Flaherty, a tailor in Niles, Ohio, whose diet for the past 20 years -consisted only of milk. Mr. Flaherty recently died at tiie ripe old age of 75 years. He began the “all milk” diet in 1917 as a result of a stricture ot the esophagus, which he contributed to an overdose of serum in inoculation during the war. From 1917 until his death he drank only a quart of milk a day. Farm Facts Each year about $150,000,000 worth of fuel comes from 'farm woodlands throughout the United States.* • • With a radio ownership of 69 per cent, farm families trail city cou­ sins by 13 per cent, but farmers listen more, a recent survey of 14,000 rurM families reveMed.*- • • A good cow under the most fa­ vorable conditions is able to con­ sume about 150 pounds of great pasture herbage in a day. This task is done with a "mowing” ap­ paratus about three inches wide. .• * * Good crop rotations protect the soil, provide enough roughage for live stock, supply grain, distribute labor requirements, provide sever- M sources of income, and assures a fair annuaVe icome unless uncontrol­ lable economic conditions make this impossible.

Those who worked early ami late for the past month or two getting eveayihing ready for the big day, deserve much credit for the manner in which the progTam was carried out. A large crowd was present for the day exercises, and to hear the masterful address of Governor Hrny. Thousands of young and old thronged t h e grounds during the evening and late into the night. It was indeed a day to be remembered, and the large sum of money raised for the Masonic orphanage will bring hap­ piness to the hundreds of children who are inmates of this fne insti­ tution. 7,422 Tickets Sold.

During the morning, afternoon and even ing many songs and recitations were rendered by a class of pupils from the Masonic Home, which were greatly enjoyed.

PARTON "^ E W YORK.—In view of Misa ' Alice Marble’s recent arrival here after successful exploits at Wimbledon and elsewhere, it would GHtKtptTamU — T J J Cham p From a . ciation of John BaseballCareer M cC orm ack, the e m in e n t Irish tenor, with the fair Wimble­ don and United States national title- holder in London as a singing teach­ er was someone’s flight of fancy. Miss Marble, as may be recalled, made her debut as a night club solo­ ist last winter, and, after the cur­ rent tennis season is over, she will go to Hollywood to make a motion picture—provided the entrepreneur with whom she has signed is able to place her to advantage. The first woman to hold three Wimbledon and three American titles at one and the same time, designer of sports clothes, sing­ er, potential actress, Miss Mar­ ble’s versatility is not confined to these things. She could, if she had not—to her expressed regret—got beyond snch things, play, softball baseball with facil­ ity equal to that of most mta. Also proficient in basketball as a member of the Polytechnic high, San Francisco, team, she was likewise a track athlete of no small ability. And, before that, sandlot football with her brothers and other boys claimed her enthusiasm. As a six-year- old she started playing hard ball baseball with a younger brother, Harry (Tim) Marble, who later joined the Pacific Coast League Missions team as shortstop. It is said that Marble Pere, a farmer in Plumas county, Calif., at one time doubted whether he ever could wean the girl from a baseball bat which she swung on clubs other­ wise composed of male players. But the gift of a tennis racquet at the age of 13 and subtle encouragements turned her thoughts to tennis. This happened when, in lieu of a career as a ball player, she had become the official mascot of the San Fran­ cisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League. Blonde, statuesque, with gray eyes, gracious in manner as she is in appearance lovely, Miss Marble won much favor wherever she went abroad.

In this connec­ tion be it recalled that, when he made his first stage appearance in London four years ago, he was un­ able to speak a word of English. Nonetheless, by aping the diction of the coach, later resorting to the dictionary to learn the meaning of that which he had said, he suc­ ceeded admirably in rendering his role. He is passionately devoted to the cause of world peace through the World Peace fed­ eration, which he himself or­ ganized—it now has branches throughout the civilized world. His advocacy of peaceful adjust­ ment of international issues re­ sulted from experience in the World war, in which he served as a lad of 12, winning two medals for gallantry. Entering the war to avenge the death in action of a beloved older, broth­ er, he found his age no bar to service. He asserts, indeed, that, at the time of his enlist­ ment, the Czechs had boys who were but eight years old under arms. His biography opens at Prague, Where, at 18, he was playing walk- on parts at the Deutches Landes theater—a soldier in “Lohengrin,” a servant in social comedy, anything, everything, of extremely subordi­ nate character. Gaining a rather important speaking part through ability displayed in reading the lines of an indisposed actor, he subse-. quently received a scholarship in the Academy of Dramatic Art in Prague. He then went to Breslau, where Kaethe Dorsch, the German actress, discovered him and intro­ duced him to the Berlin theater, where he became overnight the adored of feminine Berlin. He married Ada Nejedly, an opera singer in "Prague in 1928, -from whom subsequently he was di­ vorced. Two years ago, he mar­ ried “Margo,” Margarita Balando, stage and screen dancer. He is tall and slight, his features extreme­ ly delicate, eyes soulful. In his reading, he is addicted to the Ger­ man philosophers and the Frencb classics.(Consolidated Feature*—WNU Serviced The Slicing Doesn’t Matter—-It’s Still From Bologna tw fW 't.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wimsatt of Washing­ ton, /D. .Cv erected a warning sign, declaring that she and a sister were among eight heirs of the former owner of the site and had received nothing from the government. After much wrangling, the chief of police persuaded the adamant sisters to leave the property quietly. BEVERAGE ALCOHOL AND THE COMMUNITY I.ESSON TEXT—Joel 1:5-7: Daniel 5:1-5, 17. 25-28.GOLDEN TEXT—Woe unto him that SiV- eth his neighbor drink.—Habakkuk 2:15. “None of us liveth to himself” (Rom. 14:7). What concerns the individual con­ cerns the community, for the com­ munity is made up of individuals. The man who uses alcohol has no right to claim that it is a personal matter, for alcohol is a poisonous drug which not only injures the in­ dividual, but makes him a danger and a liability to his Community. Before going into our lesson let us look at Only a few of the many facts available. In the five years since repeal, it is estimated that $30,000,000,000 has been spent for intoxicants with a profit to the industry of $13,250,- 000,000. But what has it cost the people? “In 1937, an entiae city the size of Detroit was maimed and injured, and an entire city the size of Chnaha was permanently injured, by the automobile. Sixty per cent of auto fatalities are due to alcohol” (Chief Justice of Municipal Court, Evans­ ton, IU.). “Rape has increased 13 per cent and the more atrocious forms 40 per cent in the last eight months” (Police Commissioner, Boston, Mass.). “Criminals are for the return of liquor, wet propaganda to the con­ trary notwithstanding, and with the coming of repeal will come the greatest era of wholesale crime this country has ever known. The crim­ inal world is tensely expectant and is prepared to launch immediate­ ly into its millennium of crime. The return of the saloon inevitably will bring open prostitution and gam­ bling” (Statement by a criminal in prison before repeal became effec­ tive). “America is on the worst gam­ bling spree in its history. A gross population, not including all rural districts, of 80,000,000 persons is dallying with $6,000 ,000,000 in win­ nings and losings, of which all but about $1 ,000 ,000,000 passes through the hands of the underworld, where much of it remains” (Courtney R. Cooper). The American Business Men’s foundation, Chicago, reports that liquor was responsible for the rejec­ tion of more than 93,000 applications for insurance last year, and that as a result widows and orphans will ultimately be deprived of over $200 ,000,000 of insurance, making some of them public charges. Three words which are altogether appropriate for the liquor problem will serve to summarize our lesson. I. Devastation (Joel 1:5-7). Drunkards are called on to awake from their stupor and weep and the drinkers of wine (note that!) to wail over the loss of their drink because of the devastation wrought by the locusts. This plague had come be­ cause of the sins of the people, and may well serve to exemplify the devastation which will follow the use of alcohol as a beverage. The nations of our day need not think that they will escape if they con­ tinue on their present road of reck­ less indulgence. H. Debauchery (Dan. 5:1-4). The familiar story of Belshazzar’s feast should be made to live again as we point out that we here “have vividly manifested three of the great characteristics of the day in which we live—a coming together of great multitudes for a riotous night of drinking, which must of course end for many in disgusting drunk­ enness; provision for acts of dark­ est sensuality in the fact that all the wives and concubines were invited to this feast . . . and a con­ temptuous, deliberate insulting of the name of God” (Dr. Wilbur M. Smith). III. Death (w . 5, 17, 25-28). Dramatically swift was God’s judgment upon Belshazzar’s pre­ sumptuous sin. Magnificently bold and direct was the condemnation by Daniel, the prophet of God. Re­ lentless was the immediate judg­ ment of physical death (see v. 30), and equally sure is the ultimate judgment when the drunken king stands before his Maker to answer for the deeds done in the flesh. The fact that God does not write in our day in flaming letters on the saloon wall before: the bleary eyes of the drinker does not mean that His judgment is any less certain, nor does it make it less drqadfuL Cost of Happiness God has ordained that happiness, like every other good thing, should cost us something; He has willed that it should be a moral achieve­ ment, and not an accident.—Dr. Gasparin, Walk in die Light Walk in the light and thou shalt see thy path, though thorny, bright; for God, by grace, shall dwell in thee, and God himself is light.— Barton.

Atk your neighbor} INS Pl LLS ft S ta r D u st it A Picture Without Men ★ Remembered for Another ★ Right Vp Raft's Alley By Virginia Vale 1 46 lT s HE W omen,” the m ovie I version of the very suc­ cessful play of the sam e nam e, is going to be som ething to see. Norm a Shearer, Rosalind R us­ sell and Jo an Craw ford head the cast, w hich includes those excellent actresses, Phyllis Povah and Florence N ash, and one hundred others, all girls. Women will want to see the pic­ ture, if only to see the clothes— super - special frocks have been whipped up for their benefit. One of Joan Crawford’s is black velvet, split to the waistline, and worn over very tight black knickers. And men will want to see it, both to see some of our best screen ac­ tresses trying to outshine each other, and to see what cut-throat NOKMA SH EARER battles women can get into over men. If there were any other cut-throat battles while the picture was being made—little things like arguments over billing, scene-stealing, and things like that—the great public will never know. Roscoe Karns has played featured roles in more than 100 motion pic­ tures, but is best remembered for one he didn’t play, in a series of pictures in which he didn’t appear. For years his friends and his fans have insisted on !remembering him as the fight manager in the “Leath­ er Pusher” series, in which Regi­ nald Denny starred. But it was not Karns, but Hayden Stevenson, who played the fight manager. The two men don’t even faintly resemble each other. Karns is mystified, but at last is resigned. Just the other day, when he arrived at the studio to work in “Everything’s on Ice,” an assistant cameraman hailed him with, “It’s been a long time, Roscoe, since we worked in the ‘Leather Pushers’ to­ gether!” George Raft’s performance in the new James Cagney picture, ‘‘Each Dawn I Die,” won him a new'con- tract and an assignment to do a re­ make of “The Patent Leather Kid” (in which Richard Barthelmess once made a come-back,) as his first pic­ ture. He is to make three a year. The hero of the picture is a prize­ fighter, which is right up the Raft alley—in his days as a fighter he fought 22 professional bouts. News of radio programs that take the air in the fall is coming in regu­ larly. Tommy Riggs will be back with “Quaker Party,” Bob Becker will resume his dog talks, and the Screen Actors Guild show will have its old time on Simday nights— with $10,000 for each broadcast go­ ing to the Motion Picture Relief fund. Paul Whiteman’s band is AIma Mater to nine men who are now leading their own orchestras, Tom­ my and Jimmy Dorsey, Henry Bas­ se and Ferde Grofe among them. They were with him 10 or U years ago. Another member of the band at -hat time was Bing Crosby, who sang with the band bnt couldn’t play; just sat holding an instru­ ment so that he’d look as if he be­ longed there. Too bad they can’t all be gathered together for one more performance, with the great White­ man holding Hie baton. J. B. Priestly, author of “The Good Companions,” has been com­ missioned to write a novel for broad­ casting, the first ever to be written directly for radio.

SANDWICHES MAINSTAYS OF SUMMER MENUS (See Recipe Below) \ tMake Mine a Ham on Rye* Sandwiches in all their delightful variety are the mainstays of sum­ mer menus. Grilled sandwiches make a “one-dish meal” for lunch or supper; substantial sandwiches with hearty fillings make a satisfy­ ing picnic lunch; and dainty “tea sa n d w ic h e s,” served with a frosted beverage, are perfect for a party. But it keeps a w o m a n ’s wits working overtime to provide sand­ wiches that are new and different! And new and dif­ ferent they must be, if they’re to retain the appetite appeal which makes them popular. Success With Sandwiches. 1. Use bread that is a day old. 2. Cream the butter—don’t melt it. 3. Whatever the filling, use plenty of it. 4. Keep sandwiches moist for sev­ eral hours by wrapping them in wax paper or in a clean cloth wrung out of hot water. 5. Remember to use a variety in breads, as well as fillings—whole wheat, rye, graham, oatmeal, brown bread, raisin bread, nut bread and orange bread all make delicious sandwiches. 6. Use left-over sandwiches for next day’s lunch or supper by “french toasting” them—merely dip the sandwiches in beaten egg, pan fry them on both sides, and serve hot with a garnish of watercress or sweet pickle. Raisin Orange Filling for Sandwiches. (Makes 8-10 sandwiches) 2 cups raisins 2 teaspoons grated orange rind 4 tablespoons orange juice Grind the raisins, add orange rind and juice add blend well. Use with white or whole wheat bread. Banana Butter Filling. (Makes I cup filling) I ripe banana % cup peanut butter Yt cup dates (cut fine) i teaspoon lemon juice Mash banana with a fork and thor­ oughly blend in remaining ingredi­ ents. Mayonnaise Sandwich Loaf. I loaf bread I head lettuce ifi cup boned chicken % cup mayonnaise dressing 3 slices broiled baconI medium sized tomato % package cream cheese I tablespoon prepared mustard Ripe olives Celery Remove crusts and slice a me­ dium sized loaf of bread lengthwise in th r e e lo n g slices. Place crisp lettuce leaves on Hie slice and add a layer of boned chicken. Spread a second slice of bread with may­ onnaise and place d r e s s in g side down, on the chicken. Add crisp broiled bacon and thin sliced toma­ toes as the sandwich filling on this second layer. Spread tomatoes with mayonnaise dressing and top with third long slice of bread. Mix 3 to'4 packages softened cream cheese with one tablespoon prepared mus­ tard and frost the loaf. Garnish with ripe olives and parsley. Slice as for any ordinary loaf of bread. Serve on individual plates. Hot Peanut Butter Sandwiches. Toast 5 slices of bread on one side only. Then spread untoasted side with % cup peanut butter, and then with % cup chili sauce. Top with slices of bacon and broil slowly u n til-bacon is slightly browned and crisp. Serve with gherkin pickle fans. Sandwich Spread. 2 teaspoons dry mustard Vt cup sugar % teaspoon salt Vt cup milk 2 eggs (slightly beaten) Ys cup vinegar 2 teaspoons lem­ on juice 6 tablespoons soft butter 13-ounce package cream cheese Yi cup pimiento (chopped) Yt cup olives (chopped) 2 tablespoons pickle (chopped) I tablespoon green pepper (chopped) In a double boiler place the mus­ tard, sugar, salt and milk.

WORTH REMEMBERING Brown paper moistened In vine­ gar will polish tins until they shine like silver. Save all paraffin as you remove it from your preserves and jelly. A man’s pipe cleaner makes an excellent device for cleaning the spout of the coffee'or tea pot. Emptying a cream whipper and bowl is wasteful unless one takes time to scrape them carefully. To prevent sugar from forming in preserves or jam, add a teaspoon of com sirup to the contents of each pint. When the faucets in your bath­ room need polishing take a soft cloth wet in kerosene and it will brighten them instantly without in­ jury. Instead of peeling whole apples, first cut them in half, then in quar­ ters, cut out the core and then peel. This is a great time saver. Instead of peeling potatoes or scraping carrots, scrub same with a chore ban, and skins WiU come off easily without waste. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) < For a Higher Effect Interior decorators have now de­ cided that the use of a deep color on ceilings rdises them, instead of lowers, as has been usually thought. A new trick is tq carry the side waU paper up onto the ceiling about 10 inches, instead of dropping the ceiling color down on the sides. This creates an optical illusion of greater height. Wise Mothers Value Child’s Individuality O CHILDREN OFTEN “conditioned’ toward resent­ ment and bitterness by un­ thoughtful parents. Childish initiative is often dulled by frequent and unnecessary interruptions while working. By EDITH BRANDIS CTUDENTS of the human mind tell us that children may be and often are “conditioned” toward re­ sentment and bitterness when they are very young, by—can you believe it?—their mothers. Later this con­ ditioning which is an actual change in nerve structure is indicated by a bad disposition, an unpleasant per­ sonality. We say of such a person, “He has a chip on his shoulder.” There will be an almost infinite number of incidents In the early life of almost any child, which, if wrong­ ly dealt with, will form fighting hab­ its; Let us consider a simple, , un­ derstandable, all too common ex­ ample. A little boy is making something he calls a boat. He is happy and intent on his piece of work. His mother speaks to him. When he does not respond instantly to her bid for his attention she snatches the toy away frjm his hands in a surge of anger. She is, she thinks, teaching her child instant obedience to and respect for his elders. If he is a child of spirit he, instinctive­ ly, will respond to anger with anger. If he cannot give vent to his re­ sentment at being interrupted—of course he must never fight back at Mother—he will have a thwarted feeling associated with the breaking of his concentration and the snatch­ ing away of his project. Should similar incidents repeated­ ly occur, the resentment he will feel and the entire train of reactions which will follow can hardly fail to become deep-seated. They are now involuntary—a fixed habit. When this stage is reached, nothing but a careful arrangement of situations in which the child receives sympathet­ ic consideration and makes desir­ able reactions as a natural conse­ quence will bring him back to nor­ mal behavior. Now there is a hopeful thing about habit formation. If it be true that the child may be and often is "con­ ditioned” toward undesirable beha­ vior, it is also true that he may be conditioned for peaceful, harmoni­ ous and productive living. Home Is First School. The mother, who is the child’s first teacher, and his best if she be wise and resourceful, should understand the value of the early plans and activities he sets up for himself, They are his preparation for the larger plans, greater productivity and development of initiative when he is older. During his moments of intense concentration she must try never to interfere. She must see that a certain amount of his time is used by and for himself without interruption. Respect for his eld­ ers may be taught him in connection with other matters to which they are more properly related. The child whose individuality! is recognized and respected, whose ini­ tiative is encouraged, will form de­ sirable habits of self-expression. He will enter the world with a self- confidence and.an inner control that will enable him to meet his prob­ lems with courage and competence. Deep within himself he will know, he will remember, that he has planned, he has wrought, he has achieved. To successful living there is no greater asset than to be able to say, “In the past I have planned things and made my plans come true.” Following such a statement WiU always be this: “What I have done I can do again.”National Ktodergarten Aasociatloa Spotless Gnateuala City At an altitude of about 5,000 feet above sea level, and with a 170,000 population, Guatemala City, capital of Guatemala, is an attractive spot in tropical America. The name, of Indian origin, means “permanency- place of ancestors.” Of real inter- est are the palaces, temples, pot­ tery, statues, monuments and bur­ ial places, mysteries of dead and gone ages. Broad streets and snowy houses are unusually attrac­ tive, for it is a spotless city. The market place attracts visitors who find most enjoyable the place where Indians of many tribes congregate. For many miles, these men and women have jogged along patiently, bringing their handicraft and pot­ tery to be sold at very reasonable figures; One may determine, if edu­ cated in their tribal traditions, to distinguish which tribe they belong to by the aprons of the men and the blouses of the women, each having different weave and pattern.

Braid three cords together and then sew the braided strip around and around to make the center of the mat. Sew a row of the circles to the edge of this center part; then add another braided row, being careful to “ease in” the inside edge just enough to keep the m at flat.

It is the opinion of a national leader of wide influence in the De cratic household that what the poli­ cies of that party will be in the fu­ ture “depend upon what platform is adopted at Ihe next convention.” That ought, of cource, to be an axiom, but instead of being an axiom, it is a statement tl'at merits no belief at all on the basis of pa: t performances. I Sicce when has the Democrptic pla'form been literally carried on;? where can you find in the last pUt- Iorm agopied, or the one accepted time before last, valid justification for a majority of the policies and practices of the two Roosevelt ad­ ministration? It used to be, of cource that platforms of the parties furnished the spring board from which the candidates of those parties jumped Into the race for the office to which they aspired. More recently, they seem merely to have been documents from which to run.—Charlotte Observer. What A YoungLady Did A maiden left her downy couch one morn not long ago, and she put a little powder on her face. She made her toilet slowly, fixing ev­ erything just so, then she put a lit lie powder on her fac \ She amb. led down to breakfast and she drop ped into her sea' ; she passed her plate to papa and she gf‘t a piece of meat. She finished up on : offee, rake and predigested wheat. Thi n she put a littie powder on her f ice. She took a car to go down town to shop a Ii tie bit. T henshe nnt a little powder on her face. At noon she ate a luncheon, paying 15 cents for it. And she out a l-lt'e powder on her face. That after­ noon she speut a dime for ice cream at a store, and when she'd finisher eating it, she longed for just one more. But thinking of the dime ’twould C‘ist, she started for the door. Then she put a little powder on her face. She took a car at ha’J past three, back to her home to go. And she put a little powder on her face. She ate her dinner with the folks, then went to call up Bill. Bill came that night and stayed ’till al­ most I o’c'ocfe, 'tis said.

His. experiences are recounted in the fol­ lowing story: By TOM CAtIFIELD (who covers police, fire alarms, boll weevils and all news in and about the Brazos Bottoms of Central Texas for the Waco Times-Herald). WORLD'S FAIR, New York—-Fran­ ces and the eleven-year-old and I have seen the Fair and all the folks back in Waco told us it couldn’t be done on the Cauiield bankroll. The speedometer on Ancient History H reads 2,000 miles from Fifth and Aus­ tin; the wallet is out $30, and we’ve got $10 left. I’ve just wired the boss for the $25 he promised me to get home on, and if the chewing gum and bailing wire on the trailer and jalop- py don’t relax their holds during the homeward 2,000 miles, we shall have made the whole junket on $85. We spent a little over $1.50 each per day on the Fair itself, counting admis­ sion at the gates. Thomas, the eleven- year-old and Frances, the woman who tells me how to drive, and I walked and walked and looked and stared, finally becoming convinced that the best parts of the Fair are free. We could while away two weeks here looking at the free shows, and never repeat and never suffer from what the slick paper writers call ennui. We are leaving only because a wolf is howl­ ing at a door bearing the coat of arms of Ji certain small town newspaper­ man in Texas. > Nothing Like the Brazos We stood and gulped when we saw the illumination at the lagoon of na­ tions last night. Nothing like that along the Brazos, nor anywhere else. A lightning bolt hit a telephone post as our car-trailer combination passed it on the road to Knoxville, coming up. It smashed the post, splattered our car with splinters, made an outra­ geous noise, scared us stiff. We saw it all over again, free, at the General Electric show here. They made 10 mil­ lion volts for us—BANG! and we thought we were back on the Tennes­ see highway in the storm. We fought good roads and bad com­ing up..General Motors showed us all good in a panorama that 27,000 people a day look at. GM parked us in up­ holstered chairs, started a public ad­ dress explanation from the chair arms, and showed us the highway system of 1960. ' If it hadn’t been for that roads system d isp la y , we might have thought, in the aviation building, that man was fixing to leave the ground r Here is Ton Caufield’s homemade trailer in which he, his wife and son traveled all the way from Waco, Texas, to see the New York World’s Fair. for good; but GM gave us hope for the highways. We could hardly get the boy away from the aviation display. Instead of wanting to ride on the car­ nival gadgets, he wanted to go back and look at the model wind tunnels, the cross section of the Yankee clip­ per, and things like that. Need for Adjectives We heard the Voder. That’s a con­ traption we had read about, a sort of talking typewriter. Pretty girl punches keys and make a combina­ tion of hisses and grunts that sounds like Charlie McCarthy at his worst, but is understandable. I never was much on adjectives. The one adjective needed around here is “marvelous.” Give me enough syn­ onyms for that, insert them as needed, and that’s the Fair. There’s a moving mural in the Ford building. Pistons, cogs, things like that fixed in the wall, all moving. Time for one of the synonyms. In the same building, walls hung all round with a one-piece yellow curtain made of spun and woven glass. More free stuff; the City of Light, with 100,000 individual bulbs; the Forward March of America, showing how lighting has changed. They’ve got a fountain running over the exit of that building, and when I lost Frances ;and Thomas, ' by getting mixed up on I rendezvous, they wait­ ed an hour for me there, perfectly satisfied, while the fountain splashed outside. > They've got a real ship parked in a pond by the New England building. They’ve got life-sized toy monkeys climbing trees in a toy exhibit and real monkeys climbing on a rock in­ side the Frank Buck enclosure. The rock is higher than the bamboo walls, so you can see the monkeys without going in. Escalators and Ramps About transportation; this fair is great on saving shoe leather. It has to be, it is so big that unless there were a lot of escalators and moving belts the cobblers would have a field day at every exit. You go up into the Per- isphere on an escalator, and ride around it on a moving belt; and there’s the moving belt at the GM building. Everywhere you find ramps instead of steps, and the ramps are exactly calculated to ease your legs as you go up or down. Streets and walks are asphalt, and the buildings gener­ ally have rubber composition flooring. And if you want to ride, it costs a dime for a bus from any point on the grounds to any other point. If your feet do get tired (and they, oughtn’t to often if you’ve got the right kind of shoes, which is impor­ tant, especially to the women) you can stop in at any of the first aid sta­ tions and get a free foot treatment to ease them. Now for the Tariff Let’s count the cost, after you get to New York. Figure you’re in a trail­ er—that’s $1 to get over the George Washington Bridge, which is the best way for a trailer; 75 cents a night at the trailer camp; a few cents for milk and whatever other groceries you need for eating at the camp; 25 cents toll over Whitestone Bridge for your car . (leave the trailer at camp) and 25 cents toll back again (or ride a bus, fare ten cents each); 50 cents to park in the parking grounds at the Fair; 75 cents admission for adults, 25 cents for children; 25 cents each for the Perisphere, which is a must because it is the Fair’s symbol; 10 cents for the Town of Tomorrow, which also ought to be a must for any house­ holder, and gas and oil. We ate dinner at one of many res­ taurants in the Fair grounds. My wife had chicken and mushrooms with cof­ fee for 60 cents. I ate a Salisbury steak with coffee for 60 cents, and lamb chops for the boy cost 75 cents. For lunch we had hamburgers and pie, which ran us 20 cents each. It costs a nickel for pop or root beer at any of a dozen stands. We got to the Fair for lunch one day and had dinner there that night. We had breakfast in camp next day, lunch at the Fair and pulled out late that afternoon for home.fc Seeing New York ' You can see something of New York while you’re at Uie Fair, for the mere cost of gasoline. The night we arrived, we took a 50-mile drive across town, along the Hendrik Hudspn Parkwqr and back from the Battery up Broad­ way to Times Square, then back to camp. We had a volunteer guide—one of the officials at the camp. The policemen go out of their way to help a visitor. One of them talked to us for a half hour about things in general while we waited for an open- top bus next morning for a sightsee­ ing trip in Manhattan. In fact, any NewYorker goes out of his way to help a Fair visitor. We felt so much at home that when we parked our car to catch a bus to the Fair on our first day’s visit, we forgot to make a note of where we left it; just walked away from it like we would have done in our own home town. And believe it or not, we found it when we came back in the rain— with the help of some of the passen­ gers on the bus. Bearinm indthat the cost of coming to New York depends on how you are willing to come. We had a camp trail­ er, slept in it, using a trailer camp once, a cabin one night during a pour­ ing rain, using school grounds twice with the" permission of rural neigh­ bors, and parking three times at fill­ ing stations. It took us six days to get here. 1 That $85 is an education worth thousands, for a boy of 11 , and worth plenty more for his father and mother. — Reprinted Jrom the New Torte Herald-Tribur.e.

We don’t happen to be one of the. favored flock receiving one, but we are told that the sheriff’s Asso. tion has authorized and provided cards bearing the great seal of North Carolina and reading “ This is to certify that John Doe is en. titled to courtesies from all peace officers.” T hat is carrying couitesy a little too tar. One would think tha every cit'zen of North Carolina is entitled to “courtesies from all pea je officers.”—with or without a card. It can be argued of course that this little piece of pasteboard is an innocent acknowledgment of the high-standing of the holder in his community, and meant only to serve him in emergency, and may. be tickle his vanity a bit. But it could serve to cover a multitude of sins, and things being as they are, that is exactly what those courtesy cards are for, Tohn Doe doesn’t always conduct him­ self abroad as he does at home, and if he is inclined to take on a little more joy water than is his custom or decides to do a little stepping, out In all the various other ways known to man, and runs into the law. it would come in mighty hrn- dv to poke one of those cards in the face of a peace officer. Mem­ bers of the sheriffs association- are lodge brothers, in a way, and as the Kingfish has so often pointed out “ us brothers has got to stick together.” Not every officer would so honor them of course, but mos' of them would, else the association never would have had them printed.

Fifty-Nine Years Ago. The State. We quote, without comment, ex cerpts from an editorial which ap­ peared In the Elizabeth City Caro­ linian April 14 , 1 8 8 0 : It is an old adage that ’facts are stubborn things.’ It is reckless felly, when great issues are invji­ ved, to Ignore them. “ While the whole American peo pie -unite in honoring President Grant and are proud of his fame, it is a fact that the thoughtful por­ tion of them do not favor the move ment to again place him in the Pre­ sidential Chair. - “Great as he is, and as much as he enjoys the confidence of his country, his infatuated supporters make a great mistake in supposing this greatness and confidence over, balance the solemn conviction so largely entertained in the public mind that a violation of ‘the un­ written law’ of the Republic against a third term would be a dangerous advance toward monarchy. It would be felt as a removal of one of the Revolution established and the victory over the Rebellion preser- ved.” "_________ It Isn’t Worth It.] Last week in Cleveland, Ohio, a 2 0 year old youth was taken by po­ lice from the roof of a burlesque theatre. He was found peeping through a ventilator into the room where the chorus girls were dressing. It Isn’t Worth It,” the young fel. low stud to the officers who arrested him. That is usually the cry of the fellow who has sown to the wind he starts reaping the whirlwind. "It Isn’t Worth It,” most of the tbous ands of young men would tell you who have thought there was such a thing as getting something for noth­ ing. only to end in our state prisons and workhouses It Isn’t Worth iU ” Why can’t more people learn 'this beforeit is too late.—Ex.

Under the New Deal government spending is over-reached the endur­ ance of tbe taxpayer, tbe number of gouernment jobs has topped any. thing ever befor dreamed of by tbe feeders of the public trough, nos trum human brain could device bas been tried, and the country now tends toward a return to traditional conservative policies. Under these conditions, why sboutd tbe present incumbent ot tbe white house desrre a third term? His record is made, and the histor­ ians will interpret it. As old Omar says: “ Tbe moving finger writes, and having writ, nor all your piety nor wit, can erase a line oi it.” x And Mark Antony says: “The evil men do lives after them; the good is often interred with their bones.” The truth of the third thrm'situa tion is more likely to rest with the New Deal boys who do nor want to lose thei job. In all probability the president himself is tired, needs a rest, and does not desire a third term. He must know that the next occupant J MICKIE SAYS— eiCTRAI EKTRA I!

Danville [Va.] is looking forward to the forthcoming tobacco season with an increase in its unemploy­ ment, and a subsequent greater bur­ den on the relief agencies in the fall, as a result of replacement of hand Btemmers in the tobacco factories in thatcity by stemming machines. Several hundred negroeB w h o make a Iiviiig during the fall and winter months working in Danville stemmeries will be thrown out of work when tobacco plants resume operations in tbe fall due to installa­ tion of stemming machines. Officials of leaf companies blame the wage and hour act for their de­ cision to gradually abandon hand stemming in favor of machines, claiming that minimum wage pro visions of the act make the cost of stemming by' hand prohibitive due largely to comparativelv low produc­ tion ability of hand etemmers. Each stemming machine does the work of SO hand etemmers but since 12 are required to operate and ser­ vice a machine, this actually throws .38 out of work to the machine. Companies in the process of in­ stalling stemming machines are Di- brell Brothers, J. M Edmunds and company and the stemming branch of P Lorillard company. Officials of the Imperial Tobacco companv bave announced that tbe George Speaks Out. Washington. — Senator George, Demorrat oi Georgia, spoke out to­ day against a third term for Presi­ dent Roosevelt and demanded a prompt settlement” of the issue. Sboitly before leaving for his home at Vienna, Ga., the senator, whom President Roosevelt tried vainly to unseat last year, asserted that he opposed tbe third term “ under any circumstances or con­ ditions.” The course followed by the great and patriotic leaders of the past against the third term for any President and under any condition is wise and right—not in normal times but especially In abnormal times, times of upheaval and chaos in political thought and action. “ The prompt settlement of this issue in line with the examples set by great statesmen and patriots of tbe past will substanlially'Strve the best interests of the Democratic paity and the country.” He declined to enlarge on this statement.

THE SPECIALS M S I o d d I I I E S I BY TALBOT MUNDY • TAUOT MUNDY—WNU SKVICf TBE STOBX TBDS FAB Captain Carl Norwood has been sent from his native England to the Kadur River district In India, along with his indispensable manservant, Moses O’Leary, soldier of fortune. Norwood's job is to survey the district to determine whether a valuable secret diamond mine belongs to the temple priests or to the ruler, the Maharajah of Kadur. Norwood calls on the British Residency to pay his Initial respects. On his way be catches a glimpse of two women In a palace carriage, one of whom is young and beautiful. The other woman he knows to be the Mabaranee of Kadur. O'Leary later tells hii? that the young woman is an American girl named Lynn Harding, who with her aunt, Mrs. Deborah Harding, is a guest at the palace. On a sightseeing tour Mrs. Harding sprains an ankle, and sends to the palace for aid. Prince Rundhia. handsome, spoiled nephew of the rulers, comes to her rescue, and takes her back to tbe palace where he meets Lynn. CHAPTER m —Continued “We love you and we will all do our te s t to make you happy," said the Maharanee. “But the astrolo­ ger says this is a time of great cri­ sis for us. I believe you are a send­ ing, as we call it. There are many sendings just now, and they are bad­ ly mixed. They are contradictory and in opposition to one another. His Highness my husband is so anx­ ious to make a good impression on Captain Norwood. It is so impor­ tant. Win you help us to make a good impression on him?” “But I might do the wrong thing! I might say the wrong word. I might commit some indiscretion. Am I in on an intrigue?” asked Lynn. “Yes, dear, a very serious in­ trigue.” “Oh, what fun! Is it dangerous?” “The astrologer says that it might become dangerous.” “Maharanee dear, this sounds wonderful! Is it a real dark oriental intrigue?” The Maharanee laughed amiably, after a second’s hesitation and with noticeable effort: “Yes, dear, it is certainly dark. It is secret, and it has to do with a diamond mine, but I hope you won't mention that to anyone." “I’m glad you warned me. Of course, I won’t mention it.” CHAPTER IV Captain Carl Norwood’s tent faced the Kadur River. About a mile away, it resembled a moonlit ir­ regular ribbon of silver streaming from the enormous temple; and the temple was a citadel of mystery that loomed against Indian night. There was a stillness that seemed like the womb of music, into which the clatter and voices from the camp kitchen fell naturally and the hoof- beats of a cantering horse thudded on dusty earth like calculated drum­ beats. A shadow that was a horse was reined in with unnecessary vigor. A palace messenger dismounted. Norwood’s servant, careful for his master’s dignity, accepted a silver tube with the air of conferring a favor. Norwood opened the tube, after he had made sure that the servant had withdrawn to a sufficient distance. Then he went to the table and wrote, inserted bis own letter into the tube and returned it to the messenger, who cantered away. “Tell Moses I want him.” Moses O’Leary came and stood in the door of the tent. “I’ve been invited to the palace for supper." “I haven't had time yet, sir, to find out much about what’s doing at the palace.” “Has anyone from the palace been enquiring about me?” “Yes, sir. Prince Rundhia’s serv­ ant came asking if you’d need to borrow a horse. He knew you didn’t, because we were standing right un­ der our horses’ noses when he asked the question. Besides, I weren’t the right person to ask. But he slipped me a box o’ the Prince’s cigars and asked a lot about you.” “What did you tell him?” “Me? I told him you’re the mild­ est man on earth, and how nothing interests you so much as running surveys.” “What did you. find out?” “Same as I told you—not much. He had his orders, and he hadn’t had time to forget ’em, and he’s scared o’ the Prince. I got a line on the Pslnce all right. His brains are matfe o’ curry powder and red pepper. He’s about as safe to tackle as «• she-cobra that has just laid her eggs. He’s what they call a sWamer.” uWhat do you mean?” 41Nothing for nothing. Lavish—at cent per cent. He’d give you any­ body’s money, if he knew what he was getting for it.’’ “If I should hear of your taking his money, you’ll find yourself in se­ rious trouble.” “Me?” “Yes. You.” “I’m incorruptible.” "What else did you find out?” “Nothing, excep’ what I’ve al­ ready told you. There’s a Mrs. Harding and a Miss Harding at the guesthouse. Mrs. Harding has a hurt foot and has been attended by Prince Rundhia’s doctor. Miss Hard- ing has already met Rundhia, and they’ve talked.” “What about the doctor?" “He’s no good.” “No good in what way?” “No self-respect. Scared. Helets the Prince brow-beat him—takes a tongue lashing without answering back—lets himseU be treated like a dog—no dignify excep’ when the Prince isn’t looking.’’ “Nothing new about Noor Mah- lam?” “No. I reckon they’ll call him off. He was just a try-out, that’s all he was—sort o’ skirmisher to feel out the lay of the land.” “Find out all you can about Prince Rundhia.” “That ought to be easy. I’ll go to the bazaar tonight.” Nothing was ever quite like it in Kadur’s history.. Plumbing, electric light, modern furniture, and even the will to do it can’t make an In­ dian palace, dusty with tradition, lend itself to what the Maharanee kept insisting was a picnic. She wanted to be so modem and uncon­ ventional that even Rundhia would approve. Sullenly defied by the out­ raged head-steward, whose turban almost rose from his hair with hor­ ror, she dismissed him and took charge. The eventual compromise was something between a bean-feast and a banquet, in the glass-roofed patio, amid a forest of potted palms and canaries in silver cages. There were Chinese lanterns and an utter drunk­ enness of flowers. The long table was loaded’ with silver and gold. Norwood found himseU between the Maharanee and Aunty. But there were paper napkins (those were Lynn’s suggestion). The Maharanee summoned the Keeper of the Jewels, selected a cluster of the most famous diamonds from the Kadur collection, and pinned it artfully on Lynn’s black silk. Lynn looked stunning in em­ broidered black silk. It showed off her*eyes and her golden hair. Ex­ citement made her parted lips so kissable that the Maharanee had qualms of conscience. “Darling, my nephew Rundhia is a bad boy! Be careful!” Lynn laughed. The prospect of annoying Aunfy was delicious. Aunfy would be scandalized by high jinks in a palace. Aunfy was one of those people who think that palace life should be like one endless corona­ tion ceremony in Westminster Ab­ bey. She cotdd count on Aunfy to keep Rundhia within bounds. The first arrival was Rundhia, In dinner jacket and turban of cloth of silver, critical of the cocktails; he introduced ingredients learned in Europe. He watched Lynn. He made apparently random remarks to discover her system, in case she had one. “Miss Harding, you look innocent, gay and very beautiful. But I mis­ trust you. Your emotions seem to me to be too honest. You will go home and laugh at us all.” ’’Going home soon,” Lynn an­ swered. “Aunty didn’t laugh when she said that. She meant it “Is that what amuses you? “No. I’d rather stay here, .bve i t ” “I wonder what you mean by love it. Do' you love us?” “I love the Maharanee. And I love these pussy-footed eastern nights. I’m wild about it all. I can’t bear the thought of going home yet.” Rundhia smiled. The sheep-faced Maharajah en­ tered, toadied by attendants, who arranged the cushio i for him in a chromium-plated . armchair at the end of the long room. Too polite to speak any other language than Eng­ lish in Lynn’s presence, he frowned sullenly at Rundhia and refused a cocktail: “Your Bengali didn’t bring my tonic.” “Sorry,” said Rundhia. “He was attending to Mrs. Harding. He hasn’t forgotten it.” Then came Norwood. Hot night though it was, he was in full mess uniform, not whites. Shorter than Rundhia; but five feet eleven inches is, after all, plenty, if it’s built right and properly carried. Rundhia’s six feet one, and almost perfect fea­ tures, somehow weren’t so notice­ able after Norwood came into the room. Norwood had red hair and one of those bits of moustaches that draw attention to the line of his lips. His red shell jacket gloved a vigorous torso. There was nothing meek about him; nothing arrogant. He was a British gentleman in uni­ form, as unselfconscious as a visitor at the zoo. He recognized Lynn instantly. His expression changed to let her know he recognized her. But he was im­ perturbable. Nothing surprised him. The palace chamberlain presented him to the Maharajah and the Ma­ haranee. He was gracious to them. The Maharanee introduced him to Lynn. He studied her. He smiled. He said: “How do you do. We have met, I believe. I am very curious. Don’t tell me. It might spoil the fun of finding out. Am I to sit next to you at dinner? I was always lucky.” Then he walked up and shook hands with Rundhia: “Pleased.” “Yes. Nice to meet you.” It suggested the well-oiled motion of machine-guns getting ready. They were enemies, at sight, as charmed to meet each other as match and powder barrel. Lynn knew it in­ stantly. Then Aunty arrived. After that, there was nothing to do but to listen to Aunty’s distant condescensions. She was wonderful. Even Rundhia admired her spunk. Dressed in a formal evening gown on purpose to make Lynn feel ashamed of her­ self, taped and strapped by the doc­ tor until she could hardly move, in torture from the twisted ankle, she proposed to dominate that compa­ ny. She did, until Norwood subdued her. She wasn’t used to being snubbed by mere captains. “What do Engineer officers do?” she demanded. “Nothing,” he said, “except an­ swer questions. Why? I might lend you a man who can do things.” The Maharajah was interrupted by the arrival of the Bengali doc­ tor, followed by a servant with a big blue goblet on a tray. The Mahara­ jah swallowed the contents of the goblet in one long draught and Nor­ wood noticed that he became imme­ diately more at ease. But Norwood was also watching Rundhia, who left off dancing with .Lynn and ac­ companied the Bengali to the door, talking to him low-voiced. Norwood promptly commandeered Lynn. “If I were you,” he said, “I’d stick to champagne. The cocktails taste phoney.” Lynn wasn’t sure she liked him. On the other hand, she wasn’t sure she didn’t. . “Why were you rude to Aunty?” “She was rude to me,” he an­ swered. “She had an accident today, .so she isn’t herself.” “Who is? You, for instance? Prin­ cess? Cinderella on her night out? Or rebel? You know what happens to rebels, don’t you, unless their friends are reliable?” A great gong boomed. It was as ancient as the palace. It was the bronze voice of memory. “Picnic!” exclaimed the Mahara­ nee. “No formality. Lynn, dear, lead the way. We will all follow. So the Maharajah came last, to the servants’ horror, and it was Lynn who contrived the seating. Norwood’s luck suffered a flat tire. He found himself between the Ma­ haranee and Aunty. Rundhia and Lynn sat opposite; the Maharajah at one end of the table, the Maha­ ranee at the other. The Maharajah only pretended to eat. In theory, he had abandoned caste restrictions, but in practice, he lacked the Maharanee’s courage. He wilted under Aunty Harding’s barrage of remarks. Her vigor de­ pressed him. Aunfy had no patience with weaklings: “You’re a hypochondriac,” she told him. The Maharajah sighed. "I am a victim of public duty. Affairs of state impose a sedentary life that has ruined my health. But I have found that Rundhia’s physician un­ derstands my ailment.” The physician reappeared in the doorway, nervous, unself-assertive. He came behind Aunty’s chair and whispered to her. Norwood couldn’t hear- what'he said, but he saw him lay two pellets on a plate at Aunty’s right hand. “Drugs! No thank you!” “What are they?” asked the Ma­ harajah. “Exactly the same that your High­ ness has been taking for your nerves,” said the physician. “I have iron nerves,” said Aunty. The physician smiled. He sepa­ rated the two pellets with a fork and held the plate toward the Ma­ harajah. “Set her the example,” he sug­ gested. ' “My monotonous life consists of nothing else than setting good ex­ amples,” said the Maharajah. “If it won’t hurt me, it won’t hurt you.” He reached for a pellet. Norwood noticed that the doctor moved the plate so that the Maha­ rajah’s fingers closed on the one that had been nearer Aunty. If it was a trick it was smooth. Rundhia was paying rather witty attention to Lynn; he was making her laugh. “As a compliment, but against my better judgment,” said Aunty. She swallowed the other pellet. “Thank you,” said the Bengali. “Thank you, madam. That relieves my anxiety. You should not be here. You should be in bed. There is no knowing what people’s nerves may do to them when they have suf­ fered a bodily shock such as you re­ ceived this afternoon.” He bowed himself out. Aunty used her napkin suddenly. Norwood watched her. He was just in time to prevent her falling from the chair. Everyone, including the Maharajah, jumped up. Lynn ran to her. The servants formed a scrimmage around Lynn and Aunty. The Maharajah scolded the Maha­ ranee sotto voce. Rundhia sent a servant running for the doctor. The other servants picked up Aunty and carried her into the next room, where she groaned on a couch and nearly faint­ ed from humiliation. Rundhia met the doctor at the door. Norwood, watching them, pretended not to, wasn’t certain whether they spoke. The doctor nodded, put on his most judicial professional air, felt Aunty’s pulse and shrugged his shoulders. “She has a temperature. It is impossible to say, but I think she is only suffering from nervous ex­ haustion and perhaps, too, from mental disturbance.” He turned again to the Maharanee: “I-advise that Miss Lynn Harding should be moved into the palace, so that Mrs, Harding may be quiet.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Old Experiment Measures1Weight of Earth The measuring of the mass or weight of the earth is a familiar astronomical problem. Other bod­ ies are weighed by measuring the attraction of the earth upon them; the same end is accomplished in the case of the earth, by comparing the attraction which this globe exerts upon some body on its surface with the attraction.exerted upon the same body by a known mass at a known distance. There have been several methods tried to accomplish this, the simplest of which is that of observing the de­ viation from the vertical of a plumb- line near an isolated mountain. The volume of the mountain must first be found, of course, by accurate survey, and its density calculated from the geological structure and densify of its component rocks. But this plan, though simple, is not near­ ly as accurate in result as that of computation by means of the tor­ sion balance. This spethod is known to astronomers as the “Cavandish, experiment,” from the scientist who first applied it in 1789. Cavendish’s methods consists of measuring very accurately the at­ traction exerted by two large spheres of metal, on two much smaller metal balls. Two globes at lead are attached to the extremi­ ties of a large horizontal bar, mov­ able, horizontally, upon a center. Above this center a light horizontal rod, having on its ends two very small balls of lead, is supported by a fine wire. When the rod bearing the small balls is in equilibrium, the ball having the globes of lead is moved until these globes are brought nearly in contact with the small balls. The force of their attraction then tends to draw the small rod from its position of equilibrium, and the amount of torsion thus produced is measured carefully. This experiment is repeated sev­ eral times, and the average of its re­ sults taken, so as to be as nearly accurate as possible. It is plain that the attraction of the large globes on the small ball is to the attraction of the earth upon the small balls—i. e., their weight—as the mass of the large balls is to the mass of the earth. . The result of these experiments has given the weight of the earth approx­ imately as 6,000 ,000 ,000 ,000 ,000 ,000 .- 000 tons.

Tlrat way you don’t have to endure it first and Iiy to care it afterward-you can avoid having It.Chances are you won’t have to look far for the cause If you eat the super-refined foods most people do. Most likely you don’t get enough "built"! And "bulk” doesn’t mean a lot ot food. It wmim a kind of food that isn’t consumed in the body, but leaves a soft '‘bulky’’ mass In the . intestines.

TELEPHONE Entered at the Postoffice inMocks- Tllle, N. C., as Second-class HaU m atter. March'S. 1903. , SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $ I 00 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ SO And now it seems that President Roosevelt is going to change the date of Thanksgiving from Now 3 0 th to Nov. 2 3rd. We wonder what this man will do next? W ith as many people looking for work as we have here, it seems strange that people have to be im­ ported from other counties and states to fill certain jobs or posi tious. The Winston Sentinel seems to be advocating more highway patrol­ men. That paper talks like the patrol should be increased from the present 2 0 0 to about 5 0 0. Does this mean that there are still 3 0 0 democrats in North Carolina who are out of a job? Tbe Congress which recently ad­ journed spent and appropriated more money than any ether Con­ gress that has ever assembled, so far as we can find out. The total amount charged up to this Con gress was more than thirteen bil­ lion dollars. We will never forget what a howl went np when a Re publican Congress spent one billion dollars a few years ago. The Record doesn’t believe in putting on tbe dog, and it doesn't believe in exagerating facts. Sev­ eral daily and weekly newspapers in this section, in writing up the Masonic picnic held here recently, said that between ten and twelve thousand people assembled here to hear Governor Hoey. Maybe so, but we don’t see bow that was pos­ sible without at least 6 ,0 0 0 people siipped through the gates without purchasing tickets. Only a tittle over 7 ,4 0 0 tickets were sold during the day and evening, and at least half of them were sold after Gover- nor Hoey had made his speech Please, boys, let’s keep history straight. Ten thousand is a whale of a crowd when you come to think about it. Noah Brock 103 Years. Noah Brock reached bis 103rd birthday anniversary Monday, Aug. 14tlt. The day was celebraf d quietly at his country home with a family dinner, with all bis grandchildren and great - grandchildren present The grandchildren were Lee Pain­ ter, of Darlington, Ind., and Mrs. Wm.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK T By LEMUEL F. PARTON "^ E W YORK--Having failed to ~ talk to Mars as the planet made its nearest approach to the earth since 1924, Dr. Clyde Pisher has not _ ..... abandoned hopeSttllH asH opea that sometime O f Contacting a n d somehow » * ■ ' « “ S d i tS 11S obtained. And, at any rate, the hon­ or is his for having been the con­ ductor of the first interplanetary exploration ever attempted by the American Museum of Natural His­ tory, whose expeditions to various remote parts of the terrestrial sphere have been an important part of the service of this institution. Dr. Fisher is better known to the Sioux as “afraid of bear,” a sou­ briquet applied to, him when he was adopted by thaf tribe. His wife, Te Ata (Bearer of Light), is a full- blooded Oklahoma Chickasaw Indi­ an whom he met when she came to the museum in 1934 as a lecturer on Indian culture. Lying In the astronomer’s background is the little red school house whence so many eminent Americans have come to take significant part in the life of this nation, Mus particu­ lar seat of elementary learning was in Ohio, and there at 17 he had graduated from student to teacher. One summer during his career as a youthful peda­ gogue he registered for the sum­ mer course at Ohio Normal, and there ah incident occurred des­ tined to affect his life. He looked through a telescope. He just looked, that was all, and then returned to the more im­ portant task of getting an edu­ cation. But even in later yeaTs, as a graduate student at. Johns Hopkins, working for a doctor’s degree, that peep through a tele­ scope of no extraordinary pow­ er, yet larger than any glass he had ever before seen, lin­ gered in his mind and intrigued . him. He became affiliated with the American Museum of Natural His­ tory in 1913, and* while much of his work was concerned with this earth, its flora, fauna, fish and other man­ ifestations of nature, he found time as president of the Amateur Astron­ omers association to search the heavens, and is credited with having done more than any fellow astron­ omer to popularize the science through presentation in terms of lay understanding. His mundane expeditions have included many remote and mys­ terious regions. With Carveth' WeUa he twice traversed little- known Swedish and Norwegian Laphmd, making valuable mov­ ing pictures. New Yorkers and untold thousands of visitors to Oie metropolis will know him best as curator of the Hayden planetarium. TXT'HEN Miss Lillian Spalding was a girl out in Michigan, she was not content with watching the boys play baseball. She got into the , game herself,Scnoolm a am to and won local TeaehHerBoyM sandlot fame nothing of importance in the way of thrown or batted balls get by her, and she poled out many a lusty drive. Wben she came to long skirts, as the saying used to be, she had tfr give up basebaU, but love for the sport was firmly estabUshed in her. As teacher in an elementary school in Three Rivers, she watched with pain and with cumulative repug­ nance the efforts of her boys to express the national pastime. But, herself being a sandlot prod­ uct, there was nothing much she could do about it. Time then came when she was elevated to the post of principal, and last year she came to New York as a student in the summer season of teachers’ coUege, Columbia university, working toward a master’s degree in elementary education. Appearing again this year, sbfe registered for the z course in basebaU which the faculty instituted last year for the SKt time. Now, under instruction from a dis- . tinguished faculty consisting of Pro­ fessors Gordon, Selkirk, Gomez, Pearson, and Rolfe of the Yqnkee school of thought and Professors Gumbert, Danning, Jurges and Ter- ry of the Giants, she expects to have learned enough by the time she re­ turns home to take her boys in hand and teach them the iniquity of throwing to first when a runner is bound for second on an infield poke; the time and place for squeeze plays, and all sorts of inside stuff. She will not, she says, play herself; she will be quite content to be coach. ^ (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.!

UZZlAH; A KING WHO FORGOT GOD LESSON TEXT—H Chronicles 26:3-5, 16- 21.GOLDEN TEXT—Every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and be that hum* bleth himself shall be exalted.—Luke 1&:1L "Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Prov. 16:18). < A man’s life may begin with every promise of greatness and he may prosper in everything, for years as he honors God, and then by pre­ sumptuous disobedience he may bring it all to sudden destruction, living the closing years of his life in disgrace and going down to his grave in sorrow. That fact is writ­ ten so large on the pages of history that one marvels that “wayfaring men though fools” need to "err therein” (Isa. 35:8). Pride makes a man blind to his own weakness and so presumptuous that he walks right into trouble. The story of Uz- ziah points a moral both obvious and needed by all of us. I. Prosperity (w . 3-5). “As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper" (v. 5). With a heart right toward God, the background of a rearing by God­ fearing parents (how m uch. that means!) and the counsel of a man who was an “expert” in his under­ standing of the ways and the will of God, Uzziah prospered greatly. Chapters 25 to 27 of H Chronicles reveal him as a man of affairs, a successful warrior, a capable agri­ culturist, an able gvernment ad­ ministrator, and a king whose fame was known far and wide. For one who took over the government of a nation at the tender age of 16, fol­ lowing the tragic death of his fa­ ther, Uzziah made a remarkable and commendable record. n . Presumption (v. 16). “When he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction” (v. 16). What sad words! Pros­ perity ruined a man who had made a name for himself in times of ad­ versity. In presumptuous pride he attempted to take tile place of the priest ordained of God, in effect de­ claring that the State was over the Church, as we would put it in our day. “There is no greater danger at­ taching to the life of Christian serv­ ice than the danger of presumptu- ouspride. I mean the pride which manifests itself in an independence of the ordinary means of grace, of prayer, and of the Word of God. I am convinced that that is the cause of much of the failure in many lives here. It is a pride which says: ‘I can dispense with the Word of God’; which iiersists in living on a mini­ mum of prayer and - communion with Gpd,, and in yet going about the work of Gbd as of old ; a pride which, like Uzziah’s, seeks carnal prominence in spiritual things. For that was his sin. He sought a car­ nal prominence in service which God had ordained was to be of an entirely spiritual order” (J. Stuart Holden). IK. Punishment (w . 17-21). “The king was a leper . . . and . . . was cut off from the house of the Lord” (v. 21). The priests of God had holy boldness in rebuking the king, a quality which one could hope would never be missing in the testimony of God’s servants. The king, however, resented their wise words of counsel, and punishment from. God, both swift and terrible, came upon him. If the judgment upon Uzziah seems too drastic, let us remember that the king was presuming to set aside an order established by God. It was a question of whether God was to rule or the king. We should aiso bear in mind that what looks like a single outward bit of pre­ sumption was really the expression of a heart that had long since gone far from God. When men in high position either in the State or in the Church fail into sin, it is not very often the result of a yielding to a sudden' temptation, but rather the inevitable showing forth of what has long been true in the inner life. The' leprosy of Uzziah’s heart now showed forth in his-face, and he had to be shut off from his people and from his royal position. God Sees the Heart Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to -do.—Hebrews 4:13. • Spiritual Contradietions I He that was called in the Lord . being a servant, is the Lord’s free- J man: likewise he that is. called, I being free, is Christ's servant.—I Cor. 7:22. - , Sboeked when Bie United Statesl abrogated the 1911 Japanese-U. S.: commercial treaty, Ttdsuo Kawai, Japanese foreign office spokesman, intimated Jgpan would net demand U. S. recognition of its "new ordoe in East Asia” as a new pact basis.

Power of God Religion wields the greatest power in the universe, the power of God. F a r m T o p ic s BIRDS BENEFICIAL TO FARM CROPS Value of Food Habits Often Misjudged. Some of the birds that save mil­ lions in crops each year are still misjudged by the farmer. The beau­ tiful Baltimore oriole bas been ac­ cused of damaging grapes and gar­ den peas. But studies show that the oriole’s food habits are largely beneficial. Caterpillars are its fa­ vorite fare, but it also eats quan­ tities of plant and' bark lice, ants, wasps, grasshoppers, spiders and weevils. Farmers who tear swallows’ nests from bam eaves are turning out their best friends. Swallows con­ sume vast numbers of harmful fly­ ing insects and young birds in the nest often eat more insects than their parents. Woodpeckers are often suspected of damaging trees by their drillings. Each hole drilled means that the bird has located the larva of a de­ structive wood-boring insect. Wood­ peckers are among the most valu­ able forest conservationists and with their heavy bills they get insects that other birds can not get. Fruit raisers often look on robins as enemies because of the robin’s appetite for cherries, yet robins con­ sume insects harmful to fruit crops throughout the year, and only during June and July do they eat cultivated fruit to any extent. One good way to keep robins out of the orchards is to plant mulberry trees near-by. Mulberries ripen at the same time as cherries and the birds prefer them to other fruits. Bull’s Pedigree, Looks, Poor Guides for Buyer Dairymen who pick a bull only by his pedigree and appearance pick a good bull only one time out of three, but those who use proved sire records as a basis for selecting herd sires choose a good bull three times out of four, says Dr. J. F. Kendrick , of the United States bu­ reau of dairy industry. These con­ clusions are based upon numerous records of breeding activities in dairy herd-improvement associa­ tions. An example of a dairyman who depended only on pedigree and looks is cited by Dr. Kendrick. In 1925 the cows in his herd were aver­ aging 320 pounds M>f butterfat a year. A new bull was purchased. Four years later the average herd production had been boosted to 354 pounds of fat for each cow. An­ other sire was added to the herd, chosen by the same method as the first. At the end of another four years the average herd production had dropped to 316 pounds. A third bull has not boosted the production average. Without proved sire rec­ ords as a 'guide this dairyman picked only one good bull out of three. Hog Mixture A well-balanced grain ration and good legume pasture will bring the pigs through in fine condition after weaning. A grain mixture of 80 pounds corn, 80 pounds oats, 12 pounds tankage, 10 pounds soybean oil . meal, 8 pounds cottonseed meal, 6 pounds alfalfa meal, and 4 pounds of minerals is recommended. The amount of oats in the mixture is gradually reduced as the pigs get older and replaced with corn until all oats have been removed. The alfalfa meal can be left out if the pigs have good, legume pasture. Getting the pigs started right and keeping them growing is the for­ mula for success in hog raising. Farm Purchases Last year the federal land banks and the land bank commissioner made more than 6,000 loans to finance the purchase of farms. Loans averaged $3,000 to $4,000 each. They are limited to $7,500 arid can be as high as three-fourths of the value of the property. Borrowers are required to hqve experience, equipment and sufficient savings to finance at least one-fourth of the purchase. Isolate New Animals New farm animals should not be allowed to mingle with the home stock, but should be isolated for sev­ eral weeks, authorities of the Amer­ ican Foundation for Animal Health declare. This will allow time for dormant diseases to manifest them­ selves and will prevent the spread of such diseases to other stock on the farm. Manure Important Barnyard manure should be well cared for. Use plenty of straw to soak up the liquid part and protect the pile from the weather and heavy drainage. Of the 10 pounds of ni­ trogen contained in a ton of average farm manure, about onebalf is. in the liquid, and is in such chemical combination that.it is as easily.lost by exposure to the air, with freezing or dying, as 'free ammonia would be.

Of course, shoes have always been an im- / portant part of a comedian’s wardrobe — Charlie Chaplin’s, for instance—but Laurel makes use of them in such a way that the audience isn’t conscious of the part they play. The shoes he wears when making pictures have no heels—that’s aU there is to it. They give him that strange, rolling gait, and you laugh at the way he walks without know­ ing why. They also help in giving him the woe-begone appearance that contributes so much to his perform­ ances. Watch him in his latest picture, “A Chump at Oxford,” and you’ll realize how much those trick shoes do for him. It took John Hubbard just two years to a day, after he reached Hollywood, to climb to the top—the top being the leading role in “The Housekeeper’s Daughter," Joan Bennett’s new Hal Roach picture. Hubbard was discovered by Oliver Hinsdell, Paramount talent coach, in one of the Goodman theater plays in Chicago. Paramount gave him some JOHN HUBBARD small roles, and then he went to Metro, where Mervyn ■ LeRoy re­ named him “Anthony Allen”—per­ haps you remember seeing him in “Dramatic School,” with Louise Rainer. Hal Roach liked his work and per­ sonality so much that he persuaded Metro to let him assume the rest of Hubbard’s contract, and once more our hero became John HUbbatd. Keep your eye on him—he may turn out to be one of the screen’s top­ flight leading men. Mickey Rooney thought it would be an excellent plan if, when he went to England to do “A Yank at Eton,” he went alone. Unfortunate­ly for him, nobody else thought so— the studio felt that everything would work out better if several guardians, including his mother, went along. Orson Welles, the actor who be­ came famous all over the country when he unintentionally spread ter­ ror with that Mars broadcast, is in a spot where he’s going to be great­ly envied, and, later, greatly panned by many of those who envy him at present. For he has done what nobody else ever has. He’s never made a pic­ ture, but the contract he signed RKO permits him to produce direct his first one, and star in it as well. The picture will be based on Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Dark­ ness,” and if it is good Welles will practically have the motion picture industry in his pocket. *— Don Ameche and his wife named their first son Ronald, and their sec­ ond, Donald; nicknamed "Ronnie” and “Donnie,” they seemed to have started something in the way of names. When the third son came he was named Thomas Anthony—he’ll be “Tommie,” of course, which doesn’t quite rhyme. But the senior Ameches didn’t care for “Connie” or “Johnnie” and couldn’t think of any other names that would do. — *— Rudy Vallee felt that he’d sung “My Time Is Your Time” to the same sponsor long enough, and that’s why he’s leaving them in Sep­ tember. It’s a 10-year relationship that is ending, the longest of its kind in radio history. Vallee has been responsible for uncovering a great deal of radio talent, and in developing the vaudeville type of ra­ dio program that has been so widely imitated. But it seems likely that the one thing he’ll be remembered for is introducing Charlie McCarthy to the radio public, and keeping him on the air until lie was well enough known to find a place of his own.

Development of fear may be avoided if par­ ents appeal to child’s reason and treat him with full con­ sideration and courtesy. By JANETTE STEVENSON MURRAY P HILIP is six years old and at- 1 tends the university elementary school a mile and a half from his home. He goes on the streetcar, transferring at the downtown sta­ tion. It was during the first cold snap in November that he arrived at school one morning and found the door locked. Bobbie, whose mother had just let him out of her auto at the corner and driven home, was in the same plight. A neighbor had promised to phone the mothers of these two boys that there would be no school but had forgotten to do so. “Say, Bobbie, we can just go back on the streetcar. See, I have my nickel,” said Philip. “But I haven’t any nickel,” re­ plied Bobbie. “Mama always comes for me.” “Oh, maybe we can phone her," suggested Philip. “My mother won’t be home for she takes Brother to the-kindergarten and goes to her classes. Let’s go In the schoolhouse. There’s a phone In the office, I know.” “But the door’s locked," said Bob­ bie, tears gathering in his eyes. “Yes, it’s locked,” said Philip as he turned from fumbling with the handle. “Oo-oo! It’s cold!” The boy, with only a light overcoat for pro­ tection, shivered in his socks and short trousers. “Bobbie,” he said, “I don’t know the way home, do you?” “No, I never went home alone,” and Bobbie began to cry. Although Philip knew Bobbie only as he had seen him in class, it never occurred to him to use his own nickel and go home, leaving Bobbie alone. “Oh, stop crying,” said Philip, on the verge of tears himself. “I don’t know what to do—but we have to do something, Kid, or we’ll freeze. Say! why can’t we follow the street­ car track? The car that always takes me has to go on that track. I know where your house is when I’m on the car.” He grabbed Bobbie’s hand and they began their long trudge back on the sidewalk beside the rails, down through the town where Philip always transferred and then along by the other car line. They were very cold and the biting northwest wind hindered their progress. Teach Self-Reliance. "Oh, what are the boys doing here?” exclaimed Bobbie’s mother as the boys appeared. “The door was locked. There wasn’t any school,” cried Bobbie. “But how did you ever find your way home?” “Why, we just followed the tracks ’cause that’s the way the cars go,” said Philip in a matter-of-fact tone.Our Mother’s club has been much interested in Philip—his independ­ ence, grit, self-assurance, frankness and mature reasoning. “Have you educated Philip with the idea of making him self-reli­ ant?” we asked his mother. “No, I think that was done in kin­ dergarten,” she answered, smiling, “but his teacher felt that his father and I had helped him by avoiding the development of fear. When learning to walk, he sometimes fell. Then we would speak casually of the cause, the rumpled rug, for in­ stance, diverting him from his dis­ comfort. We often sent him into dark rooms to get things, assuming as a matter of course he’d go. He has never feared the dark. As a toddler, I let him walk alone out- of-doors as far as it was safe. When we went on the street I gave him the idea of protecting me from the automobiles. Although very solici­ tous about my safety, he had no fear.”"Tell us how you deal with him when naughty,” we asked, for our. dub has a feeling that it takes great wisdom to retain a proper authority over the bright child and still allow him enough freedom to insure self- reliance. "I deprive him of privileges occa­ sionally, if the connection is clearly evident,” his mother replied. “Lec­ turing or demanding accomplishes nothing. I’m not always wise, but he trusts me and doesn’t deceive me. When his father or I appeal to his reason and treat him with the courtesy accorded.a grown person, he almost always responds in­ stantly.”National Klndercarten Association CWNU Service.) Only One Billion? The remark, “This is a billion- dollar country,” was made by Speaker Thomas B. Reed of Maine in answer to a Complaint of a mem­ ber regarding a billion-dollar appro­ priation. The incident occurred in the second session of the Fifty- first congress in 1891. In the first session $500,000,000 had been appro­ priated and a slightly larger amount in the second session, malting a to­ tal appropriation for that congress of something over a billion.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVllLE, N. C. AUGUST 23. 18*3 Call It A Day. Coneress has adjourned but that doesn’t mean that all the unsettled business the members left at the desks will be the pain-ln-the-neek for another session of tbs seventy stxth Congress before a new one is elected. And there is plenty to in- cate that the legislation shunted a side in the closing days .when the boys were in such a burrv to get back home, will have to be faced and a noise made like settlement, one way or the other. ButJanuary being that much nearer a national election, there is nothing upon which to hang the hope that these issues will not be judged by politi­ cal expediency alone. The wage-hour act, which was best deferred until its workability could be further tested, obviously will need revising. Something de­ finite will have to be done about neutrality, war time profiteering and embargoes and such; evidently the Hatch “clean politics” bill will have to be clarified and extended to cover more of the multitude of sins, and it ts barely possible that the lending and housing program can­ not be shunted aside with the same bravado and unconcern'with which these imooitant matters were met in the closing days. It is generally admitted that Pre­ sident Roosevelt wasn’t so hot as a driver of legislative effort. Much of wbat he asked a stubborn Con gress refused to give. Yet a break­ down of the record of the seventy sixth Congress will show that the members, in their disposition of the President’s various proposals, marched un the hill and then march­ ed down again, doing most of the shouting and armflinging on the way up, and mighty quiet about it heading back to she'ter. The President gained his point on many issues of major import ance that the Congress did not dare refuse, the members several times times out-distancing him by adding millions of dollars to appropriations for this and that, while individually crying to high heaven for economy. But this does not black out the fact that congressional snarling and howling indicates very plainiy the President has tost prestige atuong his political buddies. Even some of those from North Carolina who bad ridden on his coat tail, joined with Republicans to defeat some of his most cherished objectives. And there is open warefare within the President’s own parly that probably makes t h e Democratic donkey mighty sick in the pit of his stomach. Anyhow, Congress has adjourn, ed, and that's something to be thankful for. —Statesville Daily. Bully For Reliefers!

It is generally admitted that Pre- ' sidect Roosevelt wasn’t so hot as a driver of legislative effort. Much of what he asked a stubborn Con gress refused to give. Ytt a break­ down of the record of the .seventy sixth Congress will show that the members, in their disposition of the President’s t arious proposals, marched ut> the hit! and then march­ ed down again, doing most of the shouting and armfiinging on the way up, and mighty quiet about it heading back to she'ter. The President gained his point on many issues of major import auce that the Congress did not dare refuse, the members several times times out-distancing him by adding millions of dollars to appropriations for this and that, while individually crying to high heaven for economy Bat this does not black ont the fact that congressional snarling and howling indicates very plainly the President has lost prestige among his political buddies. Even some of those from North Carolina who had ridden on bis coat tail, joined with Republicaus to defeat some of his most cherished objectives. And there is open warefare within the President’s own parly that probably makes t h e Democratic donkey mighty sick in the pit of his stomach. Anyhow, Congress has adjourn, ed, and that's something to be thankful for. —Statesville Daily. Bully For Reliefers!

North Wilkesboro—“ Forty nine years ago I was at the throttle of the first train to North Wilkes- boro,” Swift Hooper, veteran engi. neer, said after he arrived with the train from Winston-Salem. “I hear they are going to have a big celebration here next year when the town is 50 years oid,” he added before indulging in some very interesting reminiscences a- bout the town's early life. "I brought the first train here on August 9, 1890 . I can remem­ ber that day very well. There was no depot and Ihe train stopped a bout even with the place where the Blair residence now stands.” In answer to a question about tbe size of the town then, tbe old en­ gineer who then was a gangling youth explained that there was no town and that the only house stood on what is now Kensington Height. But after tbe coming of the rail, road the place grew rapidly and soon became a center of comnerce in this section. Hooper’s first name is really Swift, although many Deople have been under the impression that it was a nickname given because be had driven some fast trains on the Southern system.' He began railroading at the age of 16 before there was a Southern line and has been with the South­ ern ever since it was organized. With the exception of seven years, he has been making his daily trips between North Wilkesboro atd Winston-Saledi. - He was engineer on the old num­ ber 97 which wrecked near Dan­ ville in 1903, but the train met dis­ aster when Hooper had a day ofl and was visUing home folks in Da­ vie county. A lot of people are of the opinion that there never would have been a wreck of -the old 97, which had been memoralized in ballad form, if Hooper bad been at the throttle. In December this year Hooper will have completed ,50 years as a railroad engineer and he is just full of Interesting stories about what has happened during a half century of railroading. He knows the line between Win­ ston-Salem and North Wilkesboro as an average man would know the walk between tbe street and his front door step. He knows every landmark along tbe way and many who live by the railroad never for get a wave of greeting to tbe vet eran behind the throttle. , Hooper is driving a much bigger locomotive than he formerly did. It was found necessary to put on 9 more powerful engine when the schedule was moved up. The Uain now reaches North Wilkesboro in two and one-half hours after leav­ ing Winston-Salem, and this time includes 17 scheduled stops, the longest being at Elkin, the largest town on the route. Hooper is not through by any means. He enjoys his work.— Winston-Salem Journal. He Will Fight it Oat. The president will not take the re­ cent defeats he suffered at the hands ofCongress sittiDgdown.

'‘We'll vote the Republican tick­ et if he interfere with our football.’ said Bill Walton, coach of Ouachita Collegej down in Arkan- a«, where Republicans are practically museum specimens. . More seriously James Frasier, chairman of tbe seltctmen of his­ toric Plymouth, Mass., where Thanksgiving started, said he heartily disapproved” and would place tbe matter before tbe select, men. “Plymouth and Thanksgiving are almost synonymous and mer chants or no merchants', I can’t see any reason for changing it,” he said. Gov.- Georgo A. Wilson of Iowa said if he had anything to say a. bout it, the date would remain Nov. 30. - He’s a Republican. Oa the, other hand, Gov. Wil­ liam H. Vanderbilt of. Rhode. Is land, another Republican, said “There appears to be some com­ mon sense in the idea.” - A third / Republicaa governor, Ralph L.

He could better speed the time for thanksgiving in that way-than by changing the calendar.” . A ,Democrat, Gov. A. .Harry Moore of New Jersey, decided “one day is as good as another: But many a footballcoacli failed to agree and from many parts of tbe - country came expressions of varying .perturbation...

He hauled supply wagons' for both sides and did more, good to man­ kind than all of Sheridan’s or Mor­ gan’s cavalty. He' laid back his ears and kicked with ail bis heart, for be was fundamentally a sad and disappointed animal, but be did bring iu tbe bacon. “Those who love him and have talked to him in Chaucer's English and have been kicked by him will now drop a tear or.two." It is at this point that we hasten to reassure the mule mourns' whom we were about to join until we read a dispatch from Carolina Beach headlined, “ Mule ; Men Back Co- Bridges And TaftOpen- ■' Iy Make Race.

Moses O’Leary, soldier of fortune. Norwood’s job is to survey the district to determine whether a valuable secret diamond mine belongs to the temple priests or to the ruler, the Maharajah of Kadur. Norwood calls on the.British Besidency to pay his initial respects. On his way he catches a glimpse of two women in a palace carriage, one of whom is young and beautiful. The other woman he knows to be the Maharanee of Kadur.

On a sightseeing tour Mrs. Harding sprains an ankle, and sends to the palace for aid. Prince RundHa, handsome, spoiled nephew of the rulers, comes to her rescue, and takes her back to the palace where he meets Lynn.

Rundhia came to his rescue and made signals to the Maharanee, who wanted nothing better than to have Lynn under her own roof.“Lynn, dear, please do as the doC' tor tells you. Please, please.” Aunty groaned and protested that if was a shame to inflict Lynn on the Maharanee, but she was overruled. She was carried out on an impro­ vised litter and rushed to the guest­ house, where Lynn’s belongings were collected by the servants and conveyed to the palace. CHAPTER ▼ Rundhia was puzzled and Lynn knew it. She enjoyed it. It was cool and beautiful beneath the moon­lit trees in the garden. “You are the strangest mixture of intelligence and innocence that I have ever met,” said Rundhia. “You are in love with all this, i You are thrilled by the exotic strangeness. But it’s all old stuff to me, remem­ ber. I’m a babe in the woods, too, in a certain sense. I’m as lost as you are. Things and places don’t make life worth living. It’s the peo­ ple in the places, and the things they do together. If you loved me and I loved you—” “But neither of us does,” Lynn in­terrupted. “We are East and West. Europe delights you because you can’t ever really understand it. And the East enraptures me for the same reason.” “So we’ve that much in common,” said Rundhia. “Let me tell you something else we have in com­ mon. We like each other.” “Do we?”“Yes. One would have to be blind, deaf, demented, not to like you. What’s wrong with me?” Lynn’s defensive tactic was a thousand times more shrewd than Aunty would dream of giving her credit for: “Well, for instance, why do you dislike Captain Norwood?” “For the same reason that he doesn’t like me,” said Rundhia. “Cherchez la. femme. Thank the father and mother who bred him, he’s only an Engineer. If he were Cavalry, I might feel jealous. Lynn, I love you.” “How many women have you said that to?” “Hundreds. But I lied to all the others.”“I have sometimes had to lie to Aunty. But Fm not nearly as prac­ ticed a liar as you must be. Let’s be truthful.”“I am telling you the truth. I have always thought myself a cynic. I didn’t know I had' a heart until I met you. I have found and lost it in the same moment. It is yours. What will you do with it?” His arm crept around her. He hardly knew how she slipped away from him. She waltzed away. She ran along the path, her arms ex­ tended to embrace the moonlit luxury of hue and view and per­ fumed flowers. By the time he over­ took her, her retort was ready: ‘!Perhaps you don’t like men with red hair?” “I am looking,” he answered, “at your hair. Iwanttoburymyhands in it, bathe my face in it, breathe the—” “Borax! -I washed it and the wa­ ter’s terrible!”She escaped him again. Her'black pajamas vanished into shadow; she became a beautiful, disembodied head in a golden aureole that asked: “Is Captain Norwood marriedT I didn’t ask him.” “Well, why didn't you ask him?" “I didn’t care.” “Good!” said Rundhia. T m go­ ing to make you care about some­thing else. Come .along. I’ll be­ have. Come this way.” He led her up steps to the top of the ancient garden walL There was a summerhouse on the wall, a sort of kiosk; it had been swept and provided with cushions by a servant who crouched in shadow. Rundhia ordered the servant away. He went and lurked at the foot of'tbe steps, but Rundhia shouted at him and he fled. Rundhia led Lynn into the open-sided kiosk.“You have promised,” she said, "to bishave.” “Do you believe men’s promises when they’re in love? Are you as naive as that?”.“Yes. Don’t be silly. Let us look at the view.” “Look at me.” His eyes were hardly less fiery than the glowing end of his ciga­ rette. They made Lynn’s flesh tin­gle. He threw away the cigarette. “Lynn, you romantic girl, this scene enchants you because love has stolen on you unaware. Neither of us until now has ever known what love is.” “Do you think you know now?” she retorted.“You know I know it. You are cruel.” “I wish you’d sit farther away,” she interrupted. “Why don’t you make love to your own countrywom­ en?” “There isn’t in all India such a lovely girl as you are.”“How do you know? It’s true, isn’t it, that most of them are kept in seclusion and you’re not allowed to see them? Is that why you make love to me? Why not burgle a ze- nana?”“Lynn,” he said, “I don’t make love. I am love. And you also. We are love itself, as a musician be­ comes music. Why waste the glo­ rious hours?” “What do you know about mu­ sic?” she retorted. “Can you sing Indian songs?” “Yes, love songs! I play the gui­ tar.”“You can? What fun! Why not get it? There couldn’t be a more “Hello!” he remarked. perfect place for singing than this garden wallin moonlight.” Rundhia sensed that he had cast his fly too boldly. She wasn’t hooked. She needed more subtle persuasion. He shouted to the servant to fetch the guitar. There was no answer; the servant had taken him too strict­ ly at his word, he was out of ear­ shot. Rundhia shouted again and again. He swore under his breath. Then he governed his anger and smiled at Lynn: “Will you wait here if I go and get it?”“Yes, but—” “What?” “You look murderous. Don’t whip fiie servant!”His undercover man was waiting for him in the usual place, by the gate in the wall that separated the Maharajah’s palace from Rundhia’s —an unimportant-looking but pecu­ liarly unmeek Hindu, who spoke in a low voice without preliminary ges­ tures of respect: “The priests have learned of Cap­ tain Norwood’s arrival. They sent me to speak with his Eurasian spy, O’Leary, who is a reptile. O’Leary has already detected the opening of the mine.” Rundhia thought swiftly, and spoke stowly: “Go and tell the priests that Captain Norwood is here to line his own pocket. Say he is in debt and seeks an opportunity to pay his debts. His secret report will be in' favor of the highest bid­ der. But don’t -say you heard it from me. Say O’Leary was drunk and you heard it. from him. Make it perfectly clear to the priests that any other officer than Norwood would be scrupulously fair, so let them think about it.”Then Rimdhia found a servant in the garden of his own palace and sent him running to fetch the guitar. The palace front gate clanged be­ hind Norwood. The sullen sentry stood at ease, then easy and re­sumed his snooze. Norwood turned his horse along the road by the pal­ ace wall, riding slowly because the sals was following on foot. He had ridden about fifty yards to a curve in the road when O’Leary stepped forth from a shadow. He didn’t look lflce O’Leary. He was wearing a turban, and dressed like a dripping wet, dirty Hindu of no caste or os­ tensible occupation. Norwood drew rein and listened, watching the road for pedestrians. “I didn’t stable the mare in the city. She’s back in camp. Fll need her later.” “What for?” “As soon as Fm dressed decent again, I’ll go back to the bazaar. I told a yarn about coming back to camp for more money. I’m going to need it.” “What happened?” “Plenty. I was right about Noor Mahlam. They’ve ditched him. So I did too. He was only ground bait. He talked too much, then tried to have me knifed to stop me talking. They’d a trap set for me and I walked straight into it. A woman. I’U tell you about her later; she’d fill a dictionary.” “Never mind about the woman. What happened?” “Nothing happened there. It couldn’t. I left your mare tied up to the veranda railing, military saddle and all, and your initials on the bridle. So they couldn’t take chances. And I could. And I did.” “That’s enough about you. What happened?”“Kindergarten stuff. Confidence game. The woman’s bully flattered me I knew the woman’s sister in Lahore, and he said the woman’s sister’d given me a rep for being smarter than most, and a man o’ my word. Then he introduced me to the woman. She’s all honey and poi­ son. Sister my eye. Two words, and I knew she was lying about that.” “Never mind her lies, or whose sister she is. How much truth did she tell you?” “Not much, barring that I’m the most exciting man she’d ever seen. She was true enough excited, so I knew the bully was listening in; and he weren’t her proper bully nei­ ther; he was someone who’d been rung in on her, and she scared o’ him and not used to his ways. She said there’d be a thousand rupees for me if I’d act discreet.” '“Whose thousand rupees?” asked Norwood. “Trust your Moses O’Leary. I asked her that quick. She said it was Prince Rundhia’s thousand ru­pees. So I knew it wasn’t.” “What does she want you to do?” “She told me a mess o’ lies about Prince Rundhia having quarrelled with file temple Brahmins, and him wanting to get back at ’em, to spite ’em. She told me, and I acted sur­ prised, that there’s a diamond mine in the temple area. There’s a thou­ sand rupees for me if I persuade you to run your survey line slap through the temple area, so that the mine will belong to the Mahara­jah instead of the temple priests.” “What did you tell her?” “I said you’re easy, but you’re honest. I said I’ll have to find some way of artfully deceiving you if you’re to do what’s needed. I said Fd have to look into it, and I made her tell me where the mine is and how to get a look at it. She came clean.” “How did she know?” “She’d been told. And she was out of her depth already. She want­ ed word with the bully, and she tried to get me to stay where I was. But I thought of the bay mare standing outside in the alley, ahd she fidgety, ahd you fond o’ the mare and liable to find fault with me if she should come to harm. And I guessed it ’ud be wise to look into the woman’s story first.” | “You’d better Ieavb that woman and her bully guessing, and show me the mine. Where is it?” O’Leary pointed: “Two hours from now, when the moon’s about there, I can guide you to a place where you can ‘see along under the apron of water.” “Very well, O’Leary. Which way did you come?” “Short cut. Don’t you try it. Horse might break a leg.” ‘AU right, FU foUow the road. Meet me in camp.” O’Leary vanished. Norwood had ridden another fifty yards when he heard angry shouting, several times repeated.. He wasn’t sure, but he thought he also heard a girl’s voice. He rode forward slowly and then, a bit alarmed by the ensuing sUence, stirred his horse to a canter. He drew rein, looking upward at Lynn, not much more than two or three minutes after Rundhia had left her. She was sitting in full moonlight on top of the waU, on a cushion, with one foot hanging over the wall and her back agflinst the kiosk. “HeUo!” he remarked. “Did Run­ dhia leave you aU alone here?” “He said he’d come back.” “WeU, he’U keep that promise. How weIl do you know him?” “I met him for the first time this evening.” “Like him?” “Shouldn’t I?” “At your age, there, is danger in exotic likes, and dislikes.” “I’m twenty-two.” “You don’t look it. I had guessed you as eighteen. However, no doubt you know how to take care of your­ self among men of your own race. I’m taking it for granted that you’re a nice girl with a sense of humor but a bit rebellious against certain sorts of restraint. All this is new, and you’re enjoying it. You like the Indian setting, and the novelty and the moonlight and all that stuff.” “Don’t you?” “Yes. And I like you. I would not like to hear of you making a mess of your life for the sake of a spot of excitement. You don’t un­ derstand India. You don’t under­stand Rundhia.” A shadow moved. Someone chuck­ led: “Doesn't she?” Rundhia loomed on the wall with a guitar in his hand. He smiled down at Norwood. The moonlight shone on his teeth. “We were reaching a beautiful un­ derstanding,” said Rundhia. “Are you on your way to camp? Well, it’s a grand night for a ride. Sorry you’re tired and sleepy.” Norwood eased his horse a little nearer to. the wall. He gave the reins to the sais. In another mo­ ment he was standing upright on the saddle, with his head within six inches of the top of the wall: “I am not so sleepy as perhaps I look,” he answered. “Give me a hand up, Rundhia.” Lynn watched. This was some­ thing altogether new in her experi­ ence. Rundhia hesitated. Moonlight betrayed him. Rundhia felt tempted to refuse. But he hadn’t the iron. He could have scared the horse and made Norwood look ridiculous. But he hadn’t the nerve. Lynn felt sor­ ry for him. Withashniighehanded the guitar to her; in order to’ use both hands to help Norwood scram­ ble up the wall. “You weren’t invited,” said Run-’' dhia. Norwood stared. “No. I noticed it. Can you strum on that thing?" Lynn spoke with all the malice she cotdd put into her voice: ’You like music, Captain Nor­ wood? I supposed your line was en­ gineering and ordering people about.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Zoo Animals Turn Popular Beliefs to Fables An elephant’s memory is no long­ er than its tail. Humming birds, so fragile that they seem winged in­ sects, are greedier than pigs. Mon­keys prefer popcorn to bananas. The house cat is more cruel than a beast of the jungle. In fact, name any popular belief about animals and it’s a good two to one bet that it is wrong. That’s the conclusion of experts after actual observation at the Chi­cago Zoological park at Brookfield. Consider the elephant, most ma­ ligned of the animal kingdom. He is supposed to live the 969 years of Methuselah, but instead lives only the three score and ten of man. The female is said to breed at file age Of 40 or 50; in reality, she breeds at six and eight years. Her pregnancy is said to endure seven years; as a matter of fact, it is 19 months, which is short enough, con­sidering the size of her offspring. And the elephant’s memory! Leg­ end says it is enduring, tenacious. Do an elephant an injury today and he will repay you in kind 15 years later. BrooUSeld officials say this is applesauce. “An elephant’s memory probably is not as :good as that of other ani­ mals,” Robert Bean, assistant direc­ tor and curator of mammals, de­ clared.“I never heard anyone who worked with them say their memory amounted to anything. Take Honey and Tembo, the baby elephants that Christoph Schulz captured and brought here. “When he found Honey, she was a baby, half starved and wandering in the jungle. He brought her here, feeding her by bottle, and she would follow him everywhere. When he left, she tried to trumpet, but when he came back eight months later she didn’t remember him at all. Schulz,” he added, “was very dis­ appointed.” Elephants, too, are said to be afraid of mice. The truth is, Mr. Bean says, that they ignore-them, making the pachyderm house at Brookfield the . hardest in the park to free of mice. Elephants like cats, however, and allow them free access to the stalls. The only animal most of them despise, Mr. Bean says, is man.

Congressman Bul winkle, of Gas .on county, who has hung around Washington for many years draw­ ing his breath and salary, says he is going to run again. We are not surprised, but here’s hoping some good democrat will defeat him in the primary next June. Senator Robert Taft, of Ohio, says he is willing to run for presi­ dent on the Republican ticket next year. There are a number of pro­ minent Republicans who seem to be more than willing to fill this im­ portant office, amorg them being Senator Vandeaburg and Thomas Dewey. Oo next Sunday, Sept. 3rd, hundreds of people, both old and young, from Davie and adjoining counties and states, will assemble at this his toric old church and former camp ground, to attend the annual home­ coming and old and young folks sieging. A big country dinner is one of the big events of the day. Luther SI. Tutterow, well known Center merchant, is master of ceremonies. vThis church was organized more than 100 years ago, and is located four miles west of Mocksville on tbe Statesville highway. Everybody is given a cordial invitation to be pre­ sent for this enjoyable occasion. The Statesville Daily seems to think that the people are going to meditate before electing « Republi can president to serve with a de­ mocratic or New Deal Senate. From the way things look at this distance it would seem that this country is going to have a Republican presi­ dent and Congress, and a democra­ tic Senate next year. Most of the county, state and Federal officers are very courteous and gentlemanly, but once in a while one finds a little two-by four officer who hasn’t the first instincts of a gentleman. 1 We have met s few of this kind. They are gener ally some one who has been picked up and given a seat at the pie counter as a reward for political work that wouldn’t bear close in­ vestigation. We are glad to say that there are not many of this class This couotry managed to get a- Iong for more than a hundred and fifty years without WPA, NRA, CCC, AAA, or any other alphabe *• tical, money-spending-tripp[ed or­ ganizations, and tbe people are fast becoming disgusted with this New Deal wasteful spending. The demo­ crats are doing as mu<h cussing as the-Republicans.; .N o country can spend a dollar for every 63 cents it ■ receives in revenue A halt will have to be called, and the sooner the better. A gentleman was telling us a few days ago about a New Deal Federal officer whose duty it Is go over the county and measure the cotton acreage to see if the farmer is exceeding l.is quota. This Fed­ eral officer spent a good many days or weeks measuring acreage, and found that the farmers in all bis county had planted but two actes over the total allotment for the said county. The officer received $4 per day for all the days spent in measuring acieage. We doubt if all the cotton produced on this two acres would pay for the time spent by this brother who was on the Federal pav roll at $4 per day. Court Jn Session. The August term of Davie Su­ perior Court convened at 10 o'clock Monday morning with his Hon^r, Frank Armststrong, of Troy, on the bench, and Solicitor Aval on Hall, of Yadnioville, prosecuting the docket.

Brock caused a number or cases to be postponed. . ’ The court crowd Monday was not as large as usuil for tbe first day. There are a number of im­ portant cases to be heard, am< ng them .two manslaughter cases, a large number of drunken drivers cases, and several l quor cases.

C. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON "^EW YORK.—Perhaps it is the ’ heat, general, it seems, through­ out the civilized world these days, or more likely it is one of those waves of human Born in Wealth, aspiration that Ellsworth Picks sometime Hazardous Life sweep the world. At any rate in announcing intention to re­ turn to Antarctica to seek to learn some of the primal secrets hidden in the interior of the continent at the bottom of the world, Lincoln Ellsworth shares ambition with Ad­ miral Byrd, as with British, Nor­ wegian, French and Argentinan flyer-explorers. Difference is that, whereas Mr. Ellsworth’s motives are purely scientific, in other cases international politics in their rela­ tion to geographical claims are the incentives. Love of adventures manifested when yet in his ’teens sent Ells­ worth forth to explore unknown regions in different parts of the world. Scion of wealthy parents, born in Chicago in 1880, he could have ordered his career, had he wished, along many lines less strenuous and of fewer hazards than the one he chose and in which he has become so distin­guished. He came east to a crack seat of secondary learning, the Hill school, Pottstown, Pa., and upon graduation entered Colum­ bia where he wen scholastic hon­ors in the department of civil engineering. But, becoming res­ tive under the sedentary routine of student life, he did not wait to be graduated. Faring forth into the wild, he be­ came an axman on the first Grand Trunk Pacific railway survey of the transcontinental route across Cana­ da. For five years he saw the vir­ gin land of the Northwest, lived among Indians, shared the hard­ ships of pioneers. In 1907 he became resident engineer of the Grand Trunk at Prince Rupert, B. C. But his work, filled though it was with hardship and adventure, was not enough. Restlessness was in his soul and the unknown beckoned. So 1909 found him in the Peace river district in northern Canada, pros­ pecting for gold. Then the World war came and, seeking action, he went to France where he became an aviator long before the United States entered the strife. The real turning point in his career came with his meeting with Raoui Amundsen in Paris in 1984. With the great Nor--' wegian explorer he participated in various expeditions culminat­ ing in 1926 with the famous flight in a dirigible over the North pole. Since then subse­ quent trips of exploration won him enhanced fame and added thrilling chapters to a gallant life of action. DROFESSOR J. B. S. HALDANE, the famous British biochemist, who just now offers to sit inside an air-raid shelter while it is bombed from the out- Scientist Balks side, is the At Nothing,.as only livinS test- Yet Unscarred tube—still un, scarred. Last month he sealed himself in an air-tight chamber for 14 hours to learn how the victims of the Thetis submarine disaster felt in their last hours. He once ate an ounce of ammonium chloride a day, survived it and learned a lot about tetanus and saving children’s lives. Studying fatigue, he shut himself for long periods in a. tight chamber, the air charged with carbon dioxide. Tracing effects of acid on the body, he ate daily three ounces of bicarbonate of soda, following it with a chaser of hydrochloric acid, diluted with water. Twice gassed in the World war, he seemed to enjoy himself a lot, writing down his sensations with Gusto and later qualifying as an expert on mustard and other gases. With all that, he hasn’t a scratch on him and doesn’t suffer even from indigestion. Husky and vigorous, he doubles as guinea pig and a writer, the latter pursuit greatly enhancing his fame, notably with his book Daedalus, which was quite a sensa­ tion in this country in 1924. He ex­ periments on his mind just as he does on his body. He is moved main­ ly by the idea that we know precious little about life and death and the human body and mind, and that in the short time allotted to us we ought to try anything once, which he consistently does. He is a spirited briter, giver to epigrams, and is known as the G. B. Shaw of Science. , The son of a distinguished Scottish scientist, he was edu­ cated at Oxford and gained in­ creasing reputation before he was 30. He is 47. (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) Mitchell Field Celebrates 30th Air Corps Birthday Sergt. C. L. Birch took on the job of guide and informant for a group of youngsters who helped the army celebrate the thirtieth birthday of its air corps at Mitchell 'field in New York recently. The sergeant is showing the youngsters some of the tools used in air fighting, including a machine gun which shoots pictures instead of bullets. It is used in air target practice, and its pictures show whether the gunner scored a hit or miss. The machine gun-camera takes rapid-fire pictures, and the ‘‘gunner’s” aim must be just as accurate to get pictures as it is in actual aerial combat to score a direct hit.

ISAIAH: A LIFE DEDICATED TO GOD LESSON TEXT—Isaiah 6:1-13.GOLDEN TEXT—Here am I; send me.— Isaiah 6:8. Busy Londoners Find Time to Read Open Air Bible j * Busy though they may be, rare are the pedestrians who fail to stop at least for a moment Outside St. Paul’s church in London to read the Bible which lies open in a glass-topped stand. Each day the Bible is turned to a different page. Here is pictured a window-cleaner, a porter, a page boy, and a mother and her child, at­ tracted by the open volume. Each day hundreds of people stop In front of the famous church, read for a few moments, and go on about their duties. Many of the pedestrians admit that it’s about the only time they read the Bible. Children? Dictators Just Love Them 41! ■ Going My Way? Though grim ‘‘military'necessity” causes Chancellor AdoIf ,Hitler of Germany, left, and Premier.Benito Mussolini of Italy to build huge bomb­ing planes in order to wipe out cities and their populations, the two dictators never fail to show their love for children—at least when they face a camera. Here Hitler playfully pats one of his youthful supporters who was singled out for the honor during a special celebration in Berlin’s famous Olympic stadium. Mussoliiti proudly accepts a bouquet of flowers from a little Albanian child during his recent visit to Riccione. New Chinese Stamp Honors U. S. Flag Am unprecedented compliment was paid the United States by China recently when a new stamp was issued to commemorate the 150th anni­ versary oi ine Deelaration of Independence by the United States. The stamp bears the flags of China and the U. S. to symbolize the traditional friendship that has existed for so many years between the two nations. As tar as is known, this is the first time that an independent nation has so signally honored the flag of another. A baby donkey and a young vaca­ tionist strike up a friendship at Blackpool, England. The four-legged baby isn’t quite strong enough to work, but trill soon be earning bis oats by carrying children over the sand. LangMng Cavalier Harold Bradley, Laguna Beach, Calif;, garage owner, was picked out on the street by Roy M, Ropp, di­ rector of the Pageant of ,the Mas­ ters program to portray Ffanz Hals’ famous picture, ‘‘Laughing Cava­ lier.” This is how he appeared on the program, a vivid reproduction of the famous painting. Crisis! We have had so many of them that they have almost become commonplace. There has been one war crisis after another. There have been world crisis and domestic cri­ sis until the word has almost lost its meaning.In the life of the individual, how­ ever, the times of crisis are very real and important. In a critical illness one knows when the crisis comes, and he who safely passes that hour is on the road to recov­ ery. More vital than a physical crisis is a spiritual crisis, when a man meets God face to face and his future destiny is determined by the response which he makes to God’s call. Isaiah had such an experience when he came to realize God’s glo­ ry, confessed his own unworthiness, and sought cleansing of life as a preparation for commission to serv- Ice. L ‘‘I Saw the Lord” (w. 1-4). King Uzziah, who had begun well' but had forgotten God, was at the j end of his Ufe, a leper because of his sin, and dying in disgrace. Is- ! rael which had known unprecedent- ! ed prosperity under God’s blessing I now hardened its heart nationally against God and was also about to J go into eclipse. God needed a man I to speak for Him in such an hour, ' to bring to His people a message j of judgment and also of blessed in- I vitation. To prepare that man, the : great Isaiah, God gave a remarka­ ble manifestation of His glory and power. I It is essential that the man who speaks for God should first see the Lord high and lifted up and to hear of His holiness and glory. The neg­ ative tone of the present-day mes- I sage, the lack of enthusiasm and interest in holy things, the low standards of personal holiness, the I failure to preach boldly the truth regarding God’s holy standards are to be explained by the fact that there has been no vision of the eternal holiness and glory of God. The need of the people today is the same as it was in the time of Isaiah. Where are the men and women who are ready for a vision like his and for the commission which will fol­ low? H. ‘‘Woe Is Me! for I Am Un­ done” , (v. 5). To see the holiness of God is to be immediately conscious of one’s own sin and unworthiness. The ob­ vious conclusion which one draws from that fact is that anyone who is proud, who is not concerned about his own sins and the sins of his peo­ple, is living far from God and has either never known or has forgot­ ten about His divine holiness. Isaiah spoke of the pollution of his lips, thereby confessing that his heart was not right. Whereof the heart is full, thereof speaketh the mouth, for we read in Matthew 12: 34 that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Re­ member that even though Isaiah was a believer he recognized the need of cleansing.III. ‘‘Then . . . He Touched My Mouth” (w . 6, 7, R. V.). “Then” — what an important word!1 When Isaiah called out in humble confession, “then” he was cleansed. The turning point is right at that place for any life. Only when we come to the place of con­ fession and contrition which Isaiah knew, can we expect the Lord to send the cleansing fire and the en­ abling power.None but God can give this cleans­ ing. Man is unable to wash him­ self clean. “For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord” (Jer. 2:22. See also Jer. 13:23). Reforma­ tion, turning over a new leaf, char­ acter development, all commenda­ ble in their place, are not sufficient. There must be divine cleansing of the life if there is to be a commis­sion to service. IV. “Here Am I; Send Me” (w. 8-13). God had a difficult and unpopu­ lar message to be delivered but now He had a man who was ready to carry it. Isaiah had to proclaim to Israel that because they had turned from the sunshine of God’s love, which would have melted their hard hearts, it had for them be­ come the sunshine of His wrath, which could only progressively hard­ en them and turn them from Him. The same sunshine that melts the wax hardens the mud. The work of God in our day awaits the man or the woman of vision— the one who has been prepared by confession and cleansing and who has then received the divine com­mission. Faith Of all the forces at the disposal of humanity, faith has always been one of the most tremendous, and the gospel rightly attributes to it the power of moving mountains.

HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Biscuit Pans.—Pans used in bak­ ing biscuits should not be too deep. Otherwise the biscuits will not brown evenly on all sides. Select a pan that is about one inch deep. • • • Sandwiches. — Left-over liver, passed through a sieve, well sea­ soned, and moistened with lemon juice and a little melted butter, makes a tasty and unusual sand- ^wich filling.• * • Add Horseradish.—A little horse­ radish added to salad dressing or white sauce makes a piquant sauce for fish. Horseradish also may be added to whipped cream and served with baked, boiled or fried ham.. . . Vegetables.—Keep root vegeta­ bles in a rack, not touching each other. Keep lettuce in a muslin bag suspended from the larder ceiling. Use left-over vegetables the same day, as they readily pu­ trefy and become sour.* * * Sugar Sirup for Sweetening.— Use sugar sirup instead of granu­ lated sugar for sweetening chilled beverages and punches. Boil to­ gether for three minutes two cups of granulated sugar and three cups of water. Allow the sirup to cool, then store it in a covered jar in the refrigerator. yTwas High Time to Call Halt, Thought the Lady Former Senator Fess was con­ demning in Atlantic City the war talk that is troubling the world. “How unreasonable war is,” he ended. “It is more unreasonable than the prize fight seemed to the old lady. An old lady said on her return from the big city: “ ‘One evening my son-in-law took me to a prize fight. I never saw such a thing. The two men came out on the stage and shook hands like the best of friends, then they .began to punch each other all for nothing.

Radio Guild Productions, Inc., of Hollywood, is behind it. The idea is that monthly contests will be held, the con­ testants writing to headquar­ ters and giving their reasons for thinking that certain pro­grams should be screened. No se­rials included, just plays that are complete in one broadcast. At the end of three months, the winning script would be adapted for the screen. Prizes will be awarded contestants. — * — Madge Evans, of movie fame, is sandwiching her honeymoon with Sidney Kingsley, the playwright, in between performances at summer theaters. She's worked conscientious­ ly and done well, but when she found MADGE EVANS that she was billed for “A Bill of Divorcement” not long after the elopement took place she backed out—not superstitious, it’s said, but just didn’t like the idea. William Powell is back at work again, in “Another Thin Man,” ap­parently completely recovered from his serious illness. Asta, the dog, has a prominent part in this sequel to the famous “Thin Man,” and a year-old baby makes its debut. Tyrone Power and his bride, An- nabella, had a sort of busman’s holi­ day in Italy, touring the Italian movie-making center, Cinecitta. The high spot of their stay in Rome was their presentation to the Pope. National Broadcasting Company is grooming a new singer for radio stardom. Her name is Dinah Shore, and she hails from Winchester, Tenn. She’s a pretty girl with a distinc­ tive style of singing. At present she is being featured three times a week over both the red and bine net­ works—you might listen in and see if yonr opinion of her talents agrees with the star-makers’. Mark Warnow, the Hit Parade con­ ductor, is arranging with a, large music school for a scholarship to be awarded to children who show the most promise at playing a musical instrument. Don Ameche and Dorothy Lamour have been making life miserable for Edgar Bergen at rehearsals of that Chulie McCarthy program, by razz­ ing him because, although he fre­ quently went fishing, he never caught any fish. The enly way he could stop.it was to give up fishing. Nowaday’s he’s getting his exercise by riding horse­ back—hfe can always catch the horse! ' ~ Fred Barron is the first male mem- Aer ef his family in six generations who didn’t become a doctor. He voted for. acting instead. So he got a role in the radio serial, “The Life and Love of Dr. Snsan,” and found he’d been cast—as a doctor! Dave Elman, while convalescing from an appendectomy in a Fargo, N. D., hospital, had the unusual ex­ perience of listening to his own pro­ gram, “Hobby Lobby,” with the President’s wife substituting for him.Ken Carpenter, who also had his appendix out, had trouble pursuad- ing the doctor that he ought to listen in on his program. The doctor was afraid he’d laugh so hard at Bob Burns that he’d break the stitches. He finally got a script of the show Eor Carpenter, figuring that, after Ije’d read the jokes, they wouldn’t be so funny. He quite forgot Burns’ habit of making last-minute re­ marks that the script writer, didn’t think of.

We’ve forgotten the teasing tang of pickling spices, the mellow aroma of rich fruit butters that used to make the air fragrant at canning time. Maybe we need only to be reminded of all this to restore a lost art to favor! What pride of accomplishment row upon row of jewel-colored jams, jellies and mar­ malades can cre­ ate! And how simple it is to make them in the modern manner! You’ll find these t e s te d recipes from my own kitchen as practical as they are de­ licious. Detailed instructions are in­ cluded in each recipe; you’ll find these general suggestions helpful, too.For Success In Canning and Preserving. 1. Make only a small amount of the product at one time. 2. Follow the recipe exactly. 3. Be sure that jelly glasses, jars, and covers are sterilized. 4. When they are to be filled with hot food, place the hot glasses or jars on a dean towel wrung out of hot water. 5. Use a small, inexpensive teapot for melting paraffin and pouring it. It eliminates dripping wax all over the glasses and your work table. 6. Store jams, jellies and pre­ serves in a cool, dry place.

(Released fey Western Newspaper Unload Tot’s Shyness May Result in Backwardness • WISE HANDLING NEC- essary to eliminate handicap, of constant embarrassment. Parents should assist young­ sters to rise above ever-pres­ ent timidity and to enjoy social life with friends. By MARGARET CONN RHOADS XXZ-E ALL realize that the child “ * who is shy and constantly em­barrassed by bashfulness has- a handicap that needs very wise han­ dling. Many times a parent can help a child to rise above this timid­ ity and become happily sociable, delighting in personal contacts. “June started out to be one of those little children who hide be- ind their mother’s skirts at the ap­ proach of a stranger; her lips quiv­ered if she were singled out- for at­ tention and she evaded the mailman and the milkman when they came on their daily rounds,” related a mother before a group of parent students. “I determined that she should never hear any of the family comment on her shyness. I also made up my mind to Uiink of ways of helping the baby to overcome this handicap. I knew I should have to go very carefully along the way or I might make matters worse, but today June is such an unusually re­ sponsive child and meets people so easily that I feel my carefully laid plans were well worth while. “I began with the mailman as he came each day. I allowed June to stick the stamp on my letter. This seemed such a big thing to her! Then, with the letter in her hand to give.the mailman, she forgot her fear and ran out to meet him. He helped me by not getting too friendly with her all at once. And in much this same simple way I acquainted June with the milkman and the grocery boy. I let her put the tick­ ets in the milk bottles and let her set the bottles out. ^That gave her an interest in the man who de­ livered the milk. I would empty the grocery boy’s basket and hand her the empty container to give to him. Get Acquainted Gradually. “When guests came to the house I would ask her to open the door. She soon learned to ask them to be seat­ ed especially if their manner when they greeted her’was not too famil­iar. Most little boys and girls like to get acquainted with a strange per­ son gradually, but many older peo­ ple are apt to gush over children, the moment they meet them. When June started for nursery school she was somewhat afraid of the experi­ence. But each morning I let her take some small gift to the teacher and her joy in carrying the flower or the red apple or the cutout she had made lessened her conscious­ness of self and the problem was solved happily. “Shyness or backwardness is often regarded by parents as a trait the child will outgrow and so they feel it need not be given special concern. I like to think that in our home we are always helping the children to develop the traits that will benefit them. They should be able to meet people happily, be sufficiently self- possessed to enter into child activi­ ties and reap the joy of personal contacts. They should have the as­ surance within themselves that they are capable of joining in a conversa­ tion with a grriup of their age or of playing games with as much vim as the other children. “Shyness induces an inferiority complex in the child that lator makes the grownup cheat himself of much advancement and many pleas­ures that are rightly his. Today June at five can meet the guests in our home pleasantly, totally uncon­ scious of herself. What picture would she have presented had we ignored her baby tendency or con­ stantly commented on it? She would have, been timid still, and little by little would have become more cer­ tain that she would always be a shy person.” Mattonal Rjtoderjgartcn Association Indian Clan The sachem was a functionary of an Indian clan—a common division of the Indian tribe. The clan had two distinct kinds of leaders, a sachem and a chief. The sachem was judge and administrator of an­ cient customs and his functions were those of peace time. He was chosen by the adult members of the clan and his election usually depended upon the influence of his immediate family in the clan group. The chief, on the contrary, won his title by individual prowess. He was chosen because of some special deed or because of some outstand­ing trait. The chief was the war time leader. In current .thought the term sachem applies to the prin­ cipal dignitaries of Tammany Hall —the New York political organiza­ tion. The Society of St. Tammany, the name under which Tammany Hall was incorporated, takes its name from the Indian who is patron saint of the organization.

Here is a simple way to mate that logic work. Write across the corner of each towel with a- soft pencil the purpose for which it is to be used. Use a soft pencil and your best script with the tall let­ ters at least two inches high. If you want to trace the words from paper, blacken the back of the paper with your pencil, place it black side down on the material, then draw .the outline.
