Many citizens have been reading the story published in some of tbe leading magazines, written by a fa mous astrologist, in which he says that Dictator Hitler of Germanv, will die before the end of 1940. He contends that the ruler of his conn try will either commit suicide, be shot by one of hts own men or fa tally wounded while on a visit to his soldiers on tbe front battle lines, The writer also argues that Hit ler’s successor will also meet death in some way and that the European war may be expected to be ter minated as a result of a revolution by the Germans. “So might it be,” was the com ment made by one of the citizens, after reading the forecast. It was said that this same writer predicted the time the war wou’d begin and that it came true just as the astro Ioger forecasted.—Twin-City Senti. nel. ' Keeping Them Puzzled.

' What Will War Do To Farmers? American farmers, worn thin from a twenty year struggle to re* cover from the last war, are won dering what this war is. going to do to them, and whether or not they wilt Ijvelongeoougb to get-over it. My Notions. John Wesley Clay, in Winston- Salem Journal. A few days ago we were talking to a fine citizen, and he said, in re gard to the Eurooean war, that it Was none of our business what they did in Europe and should play hands off. Yes, but it is some of our busi ness. In the the first place it is costing us real money. A few moments before we met this mau we had paid out of our own pocket eight dollars because of the war in Finland. Some grades of paper have advanced one per cent. Fur thermore ont President has asked for two billion dollars for armaments next year. That means an average of $80 per American family. A few years, ago we were reducing armaments, scrpping war Ships, but because of war in Europe each American family is asked to plank down $80 next year. - But tbe cost to us in actual cash it insignificant in comparison with other costs. W eseethe little na tions of South America bestirring themselves in order to bring a halt to the war. They have reasons. If Germany and Russia win this w tr small nations will fear for their own security. We are great and powerful. We are not afraid. When earthquake, or storm, or disaster afflicts any part of the hu man race we are first to send them assistance. But when the greater disaster, which is war, :lays low en tire notions we say it is noneof.qnr business—God help us! ind The Tax-Free Man! “A nation-wide poll indicates that 25 per cent of the people be lieve they do not pay taxes,” says the Kansas City Times. “Presum ably these are people who never ride in motorcars, who do not live in bouses or apartments, who do any of the other things that go to make up present-day living. “ That 25 pei cent is pretty n.y. tbical. It’s the supreme example of self-delusion. It sees no tax bills and so concludes it does not pay. It's pretty much like saying that because you don’t see the heat or tbe cold neither can exist.” What this all adds up to is sim ply that tbe gteat bulk of taxes collected in this country are hidden taxes. Nobody sends you a quart, erly or an annual statement show ing the total you pay. Instead you pay taxes hourly, daily, weekly, in little pieces—when you make purchase or. pay your rent or go to a show. And, in a year’s time, those little pieces total more than 20 per cent of your entire income. In other words, your earnings for over one month out of five go to the tax collector instead of into your own pockets. A search for tbe man who doesn’t taxes would be about as fruitless as Diogenes’ classic 'search for tbe completely honest man. He would have to be someone who doesn’t eat, doesn't wear clothes, doesn’t live anywhere, doesn’t buy news papers and magazines—a .man, in brief, who doesn’t do anything at all and doesn’t need anvthing to do it with. AU the rest of us are tax. ed— and 'plenty. -E x . Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. 000000 Mrs. J. C.

There have been times, there are yet, when so dedeviled by the prob lem of scraping together the' neces. sirv shekels to adorn our flivvtr with the very necessity little" tin tag which tbe State Motor Vehic’e Bureau rays it must have or else; to accumulate sufficient dollars with disturbing the peace and comfort of him who believed us when we were almost persuaded that an all wise State could change it’s de mand date and thus greatly aceom raodate a large bloc of the com mon herd, individnais who con scientiously prefer to store the old family bnggv in the shed, rather thaii try to run the gauntlet of the law in the hope that they can get away with it. But there’s no use trying to edi torialize about it when this from from the Charlotte News comes ready-made: ■ . All of which means that, at a time when car owners are Drepar. ing to celebrate the joyful Christ, mas season, or paving for their memories, the State descends upon them aud from their pockets some seven or eight millions of dollars. It stands to reason that you can not make that' operation plainless to North Carolinians at any season of the year. But doesn’t it also stand to reason that at no other time of the year would it be more painful? Tbe few days of grace which the State has given in times past have been only a false accommodation. If the motorists must shuck ont during the CbTistmas season a few hours postponement only adds in evitably to the settlement. But in the Spring— Ah1 in tbe Spring there are . un usual expenses,. too, as. there al ways are. -But year’s end is when unavoidable expenditures gang up on the poor motorist until be woozy. No time might, be better, but none certainly could be worse. Each year at this time there there comes the clamor for a change -in the date of "Tag Day.” But nobody has thought to ask candi dates for legislative and adminis trative offices for’ a commitment on this issue, piior-to balloting, and custom being what it is, bow’n the heck can one expect even an echo from the chant.—Statesville Daily. Pete Rons Again. “ Major” Pete Murphv, of Sal- isburv, wants the job Thad Eiure now has, secretary of state—a jo b that pays #5,000 a year—but from our way of looking at tbe situa tion tbe present secretary of state need not get uneasy and start mov ing his household goods back, to Winston. Ourerteemed friend Tom Bost, writing in the Greensboro News, commits one of the few errors you ever catch him in, when he says that Rowan never fell. He needs but look at the roster of the House of the 1929 session to find tbe name of W. C. Rose, of China Grove, re- presentative from Rowan county, Rose, an old line Republican, had the pleasure of giving Pete Murpby a licking in the 1928 election. Pete has been one of those per ennial candidates and campaigners. He is pcnular in a fashion. He has been heard all over the’ state. To quote Bost further: “ He has been cimpaignicg for 45 years. * * * The major as a boy was on every stump. He has been on tbenr all eveiy year since. He probably has made more Democratic speeches than any. man in the state now Iiv ing. He campaigned for Biyan in 1S96, again in 1900, for Parker in 1904, for BryaU as elector-at large and running with Senator Josiali William Bailey in 190S; for Wood row Wilson in 1912 ami 1916, Jim mie Cox in 1920, John W. DavisJu 1924, Al Smith in 1932 and 1936, and is still going strong."—Ex. .. MERCHANTS) WISE .Advertise! Opportunity Knocks! BKAPihe Wbat? This Frcm Ar Democrat? The Cong-e.-stonal Rerord quotes Representr.tive Milton II West, Democrat, from the rock ribbed old DemocraticState of Texas, as say: “ In these days of unrest and un employment. when so many are ad - vocating government subsidy . for each and everv one who cannot or will not earn a living, it might be well for thoughtful Americans earn estly desiring a continuance of our pit-sent form of government to con template the future. * * * Let ps resolve that as long as we are char ged with the obligation of tunning the affairs of government, wc will dc so, net to perpetuate ourselves in office, but rather, consecrate our selves to the task of perpetuating our present form of free govern ment .so when our course is run we will pass on to our successors the same form of government which was banded to ns.

The H o n o r a b l e U n d e L a n c y By ETHEL HUESTON WNUSmiH THE STOBI THUS FAB LeIt orphans by a tragic automobile accident which claimed the lives of their mother and lather, three sisters, Helen, Adde and "Limpy," are visited by their Aunt Olympia, politically minded wife of Senator Alencon Ddaporte Slopshire. She insists that the girls return with her to Washington, to make their home with them. In addition to loving the girls. Aunt Olympia knows they will be a terrific political asset. Senator Slopshire has as his political opponent one Brother Wilkie, a minister, whose political campaign is furthered by seven "unspeakable brats" who sit on the rostrum with him while be makes speeches. V--Afr CHAPTER H—Continued “Then all we have to do is wear black and white and white and black and sit on the platform and wave lollypops?” asked Limpy, quite fas cinated at the prospect. “And especially, you must be very, very affectionate toward the Senator," said Aunt Olympia thoughtfully, already mapping the campaign. “But — what will the Senator think?” ejaculated Helen, appalled at the idea of showing affection to ward a senatorial uncle by marriage she had never even seen. Aunt Olympia smiled disarming- iy. “He’ll probably think times have improved no end,” she said. “And you must not call him Senator. Nev- .*r .$all. him Senator. It’s so stiff, . so formal.” tilHow- about just plain ‘Unc’?” -miggested;Limpy. ,...,,“No. .,,That's not fond enough.

But that won’t "do: It’s too flippant, in the first place, and it comes from Dela- porte, his middle name, which, though not as bad as Alencon, is almost aristocratic, too. Alencon Delaporte Slopshire. Uncle Del—no, ■ it won’t do! Uncle—Uncle Lancy!” she cried, in a bellow of triumph. 'L' “Uncle—Lancy ?” “Yes. Kind of an offshoot from Alencon. Very clubby. Lancyl That’s good. That’s fine!” “But—wiU he like that?” “He will—when the votes are counted,” said Aunt Olympia grim- v ly, •" A-::,Bed-time near, Aunt Olympia, “ pahtlng” pleasurably, tiptoed noise- -•-lessly down the hall. A low mur- .. mur _of voices from one closed door assured her that Helen and Adele Were talking things over. But she passed on and tapped softly at Lim- py’s door, opening it immediately to a very narrow crack. “Limpy?” she whispered. “Yes, come in. Oh, it’s you, .Auntie!”. Liinpy was sitting erect in the middle of her bed, her arms clasped about her upraised knees: slim, tragic youth, making a show of bra very in scarlet pajamas—a bravery belied by the tears that clung to her lashes.She did not move as Atmt Olympia tiptoed softly in, fingers to her lips enjoining silence, and sat down on the foot of the bed. But it was Limpy who opened the conversation. “Aunt Olympia, isn’t it—terrible— and terrifying—that things change so quickly? Oh, so quickly! It gives you such an—unsure—feeling. To think that just last week our life was sb settled, so taken care of! We knew just what we were going to do for—oh, any number of years! And now—a week later—the whole world is just reeling and rocking.” Atmt Olympia fished in the volu minous folds of marabou for a hand kerchief to mop her eyes. Some thing about Limpy moved her swift ly to emotion: tears, now;- but in no.vmal times, it would be laughter. “No, Limpy,” she said, trying to quench the quivering of her under chin with a rough finger, “it isn’t terrifying. You mustn’t let it be terrifying. You must think it is Idnd and beautiful and rather inspir ing; that changes come so quickly, without warning. Just suppose you had all known, you girls and your parents, that this terrible Uiing would happen and could not be pre- ’ Vented. Think what a heart-break ing week that would have been! No, you must just feel that however set- tied life is today, tomorrow it may all be changed. If today is bad, probably tomorrow, will be-better.” Her own philosophy brightened her. “Take the Senator for instance. A week ago, I was pretty sure the Senator was licked. Now I can hardly wait for the campaign to open, I’m so anxious to show them my new bag of- tricks.” “I doubt if Helen will go,” said Limpy wisely. “She’s more settled than AdeIe and I. She feels that home is here. And Adele won’t go without Helen and I won’t go with- • out both of them.” “Good! Now I want to make a deal with you. You’re seventeen, minus. A year here or there, one place or another, doesn’t mean a thing to you. You’ve got time ahead of you. for everything, and every place. But this is the last chance that Helen, and probably Adele, will have to get out and go places and meet people and see things. When she'. settles down here to teach school, Helen’ll end up by marrying some grocery boy or farm-hand and there’s an end of her. As for Adele, that girl—well, that girl— Well, you’ve got imagination! You can see ;what a year in Washington can do for her—with her looks—and the Senator’s contacts.” “And tha deaf?” Limpy reminded her drily. . -J-VV V1-- : “r - “I’m coming to that. It won’t mean so much to you, Limpy; I realize that. You’re still a school girl. But if, for their sakes, you'll work with me and try to put this thing across and help me out for a year—and keep yourself sort of in the background until I - get them set tled—for you’re smarter than both of them put together—well, if you’ll do that, Limpy, when the year is up, I’ll stand by you and back you up in anything you want to do, and I’ll pay . the bilk. You can travel, or go to college, or go into society.” “I think you’ve got something there,” said Limpy thoughtfully. “But how can we swing it?” “By pretending that it is for your sake and yours alone; and that you won’t go a step without them, for a year, at least. Talk up the educa tional advantages of good schools, eastern experience, political con tacts—all for your own exclusive good. They’ll fall for it.” “But, Auntie, suppose we make this deal—and they go—and then are unhappy there?" Aunt Olympia lapsed immediately into tears. “Limpy, they can leave in a minute if we can’t make them “So it’s a deal, Helen.’ happy. They can go and I won’t say a word. It—it would just break me all up to see them—unhappy— again, after this.” “Yes, I know, Auntie,” said Lim py kindly. "Okay! TOU do!” “Shake!” said Aunt Olympia tri umphantly. But instead of shaking hands she drew the slim, red-garbed Uttle figure into her arms and held her very dose. “You’d think I could have had—one—just one, Lim py, wouldn’t you?” she said, broken- ly. "WeU, by the time you get the three of us off your hands, you may decide you’re pretty lucky after all,” said Limpy, philosophicaUy. Still, Atrnt Olympia was not satis fied. A three-cornered deal, though highly dangerous, often insured suc cess where a mere double pact feU short. Aiint Olympia wanted abso lute insurance on this, complete coverage. She dosed Limpy1S door softly behind her and, panting with ap proval of her own deyious methods, tiptoed to that other door that showed a slit of Uight at the siU. The girls’ murmurs were StiU faintly audible. She opened the door. “Girls?” she said, softly. “ May I come in?” The girls, older,, more thoughtful perhaps than1 Limpy, bounded out of bed to receive her. They brought a chair, for her and drew up a foot stool: Helen turned the Ught so it would not reflect in her eyes. “Girls,” she said, “excuse me for intruding like this, but I want to make a deal with you and I don’t want Limpy to know about it. I’ve set my heart on giving Limpy a chance in life, a big chance, and I’m not going to mince words. That chUd has character; she has personaUty; she has what it takes. I want her to go to the best schools, to travel, to meet people. There’s something in her and I want to have a hand in developing it. But right now, Limpy, so young, so sad, wiU never leave you. That’s why I ask you, for her sake, to make this sacrifice for a year, to help her adjust herself to her future life of independence. I know that coming to Washington doesn’t mean much-to you two. You are older. Your plans are made. But Limpy is still at sea and I want to see her heading for the right port. Now, if you girls wtil make this sacrifice, for her sake, just for this one year to let her try it out, I promise to do everything in my power to make you as happy as can be and give you good and valuable experience- The Senator— Uncle Lancy, I mean — is weU enough off; he can afford anything in reason. You can see the life in Washington, you can learn about politics and government—and mod em women ought to know about those things. If you will come with me for this one year, you can do absolutely whatever you please aft er that.” “There won’t be any argument about the future?” asked Helen in her soft voice. “There will be ho ill feeling about it—if, after this one year—we come back and take up life as we want to?” “Absolutely and irrevocably. But after one year, I think, I hope, may be I can keep Limpy. And the Sen ator will make her his heir, you know—that’s something. I would certainly like to see Len Hardesty's face when he hears about my or phans!” “Len Hardesty?” The girls had difficulty keeping pace with Aunt Olympia’s swift flights. “A snake-in-the-grass if ever lived one. He used to be our publicity man and the Senator out of the big ness of his heart, like the fool he is, turned him over to Brother Wilkie— the Governor—for his first cam paign and now he’s signed him up to a contract and we can’t get him back. He has to go on working for the Governor and against us—the Governor and the brats and the trumpeter—and bites the hand that would be glad to feed- him.” “Why doesn’t Uncle Lancy hire him back?” “Because Brother Wilkie, as soon as he decided to run, signed Len to a contract to work for him all this year . . . Well, I just wanted to be frank with you, girls. I want you to know just where I stand. I know it doesn’t mean much to you, per sonally, but it may mean the world to Limpy.” Aunt Olympia returned to her own room and retired to bed in such a glow of contentment that she did not feel- the cold. She would have been surprised, perhaps a little discon certed, if she had known that, al most before her door was closed upon her, Helen was saying briskly: “Well, we may as well settle this right now and then maybe we can get a little sleep. Let’s have it out with Limpy.” Limpy still sat cross-legged and erect on her bed. She was smiling mistily. “Girls,” Helen began abruptly, “I want to make a deal with you.” “Helen!” cried Adele, with soft laughter in her voice. “Be careful! You’re catching it! You’re getting political!” “We’ll have to be political, every one of us, to hold our own with Aunt Olympia even halfway . . . Now you realize, of course, that for pure ly personal and selfish reasons I do not want to go away from here at all. I hate terribly to leave Brick this year, when he’s going to be all messed up in his first campaign and will most certainly want me near him. But I do realize it is a magnifi cent opportunity for both of you. I will go with you, with Aunt Olym pia, on one condition.” “Aha! The deal! I smell a rat.” “Yes, the deal. You can see that absolutely without reason she has taken a violent dislike to Brick. If she knew he was running for Con gress from this district—and going to be elected, too:—she would al ways be against him and make fun of him and call him a delivery boy. Even when he gets to Washington she will look down on him. But she has hardly so much as caught a glimpse of him and she doesn’t even know his name. If he is elected— and he will be!—she will meet him as a new Member from Iowa and she’ll forget the grocery store, want you to promise not even to mention his name to her. Don’t tell her a thing about him. And don’t in any circumstances let her find out that we are engaged.” “But Brick’s so swell, Helen,” protested -Limpy. “AU the more, reason for not in citing her prejudice. She can’t help liking him if she meets him under different circumstances. Our Aunt Olympia- is going to teach me the political racket from the ground up. I’m going to make a business of learning everything she knows—and she knows plenty. Then when we are married, I can be a real help to Brick. And she won’t object to my marrying him when he’s a congress man. Is it a deal?” “Okay by me,” said Limpy cheer- fuUy.. And added more soberly, “It would seem very strange to keep on Uving here—outside the parsonage.” “Yes, I feel that way, too,” said Adele. “So it’s a deal, Helen.” Aunt Olympia received the girls’ quiet announcement of their accept ance of her offer with a rush of hap py tears and immediately put in a caU for the Senator to inform him of the good news. It was no news to the Senator. As soon as Aunt Olympia had said she wanted to bring them, the Senator had consid ered the fact already accomplished. . Immediately after breakfast on that happy day of Aunt Olympia's great triumph, Helen quietly pre pared to hurry off to town. But she did not escape the watchfulness of Aiint Olympia’s pale blue eyes. “Going out, Helen?” she inquired crisply. "For a while. To do a Uttle shop ping and a few errands.” “Well, you might tell that deliv- ery boy to put on his gloves and his new necktie and bring me a nickel’s worth of gumdrops,” said Aunt Olympia. Helen laughed good-naturedly. “You could save four cents by get ting a peppermint stick instead,” was her reply. Aunt Olympia liked that. Sense of humor. It was a great asset. With youth and good looks, Aunt Olympia considered the combination unbeatable. CHAPTER m Senator Slopshire did not wait for the return of Aunt Olympia to begin getting ready for the children. Im mediately after hanging up the re ceiver, and hardly waiting long enough to wipe the moisture from his glasses, he caUed the servants' quarters on the first floor and asked their maid, Hilda, to come up right away. “What’s the matter, Senator? You sick?” she asked dourly. “No, I’m not sick. I cannot dis cuss the matter over the telephone. Come immediately.” Hilda dressed hastily, with con siderable show of irritation, and went up. Hilda was a taU, angular, unhappy-looking Scandinavian. Aunt Olympia described her as a “sour Swede.” Next to being an al most superlative housekeeper and cook, disapproval.: was Hilda’s outstanding characteristic. They o<»ild hardly have got along without Hilda. She took entire charge or their apartment in Wash ington during their residence there and assumed the same responsibili ty for the household when they were at home. She cooked, she cleaned, she marketed, she sewed. She found the Senator standing distractedly in the center of the floor rubbing his glasses.- He put them on at sight of her and began to give orders. “Now, we’ll have to get beds made up for them and we’ll have to have in breakfast cereals and nourishing food and order more milk.” Hilda did not show surprise; she had always considered him mildly crazy anyhow. “For the children,” he explained belatedly. "Our poor dear children are coming to live with us.” “What time they getting in?” asked Hilda. “I don’t know yet. Two or three days, I suppose. She said some thing about a week but there’s no use waiting.” “I’ll attend to the beds and I’ll order oatmeal. Good night, Sena tor,” said Hilda coldly and with drew. The Senator dressed nervously and went downstairs to talk things over with the management. It was only eleven o’clock and certainly no time should be lost. The manager was a more sympa thetic auditor than Hilda. He agreed with the Senator that the children’s place was certainly right there in the Shoreham with the Senator and suggested fixing up a nice nursery adjoining their apartment. The Senator’s enthusiasm did not wane overnight. He was on the sub ject again before breakfast the next morning. “I’m not sure we get enough sun here for children,” he complained to Hilda. “I’ll speak to the manage ment about it . . . We’d better get our fresh eggs from the country hereafter . . . Remind me, Hilda, to ask the Health Department to send me their books on bringing up chil dren.” He arrived early at his office in the Senhte Office Building and in formed his secretaries and clerks that he wanted things straightened up around there and put in good order without delay. “The children will be down here with me a good deal,” he said, “and I want them to get the habit of or derliness at an early age. And you’d better order in some good magazines and books so if they get tired they’ll have something on hand to amuse them. And call the custodian right away and tell him I need more chairs, and I want good chairs and comfortable chairs. Some of these government chairs would give a young back curvature of the spine. They almost give me curvature of the spine.” He suggested to his fellow com mittee-members that he would, like them to hurry along and clear up the calendar as fast as they could, as he would have to spend a great deal of time with his children Jrom this on. He went shopping, too, and had a great many things sent up, most of which Hilda returned without com ment. On the whole-it was a relief to him when Olympia returned home and he could turn things over to her. Olympia was ready. Having pon dered certain matters deeply in her innermost consciousness all the way home by train, she was ripe for action. “Del, I want to ask your advice about something.. About those'poor dear, children. Do yoti think we should take a larger apartment or should we move into a house?” The Senator beamed at her. “I thought of that very thing,” he said. “Ask Hilda if I didn’t. I think we should take a house, though it will be a great disappointment to the management for they can hardly wait til] the children get here . . . Still, I think we should take a house. Children should have a home and only a house is a home.” 1 <TO BE CONTINUED) BA T T E R N IV -a*'** % ^AAAAA A/IAKE yourself this pretty prin- i A cess (8576) for town wear,1 business and general runabout, in a dark shade or your favorite bright color.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON "\J.EW YORK.—Old Senator Joseph I Caillaux ol France, who knows a lot about money and trade, says Germany will be licked by her pov- C a illa u x S till er^ innatur-_ 1 al resources, G uides French chiefly oil. At M onetaryP olicy J,6’ bearing* the scars oflong and bitter conflict, more bitterly assailed in the past than perhaps any other man in France, he com mands respect as he keeps on croak ing, "Victory in war is often de stroyed by finance,” and he is still a powerful guiding force in French monetary policy. He has known glory, riches, jail, exile, calumny, foolish adu lation, scandal, exultation, bit terness and disillusionment, and with bloodshot eyes and out- thrust jaw, he’s still on his feet when the gong ends the round. His fortune was sunk in the de fense of his wife for killing Gas ton Calmette in 1914. He returned from banishment to full vindication in the espionage case against him, to become premier and later finance minister of France. He has shaded down his green trousers and yellow shoes and green vest to more somber hues, but his is still the toughest political hide anywhere extant. TXT'HEN this writer began news- * 7 paper work in Chicago, people in Halsted and West Madison streets seemed to be about as badly off M elioristsH aoe ^ar^vTctims N ot Y et Found of today. I T h eG o ld en K ey lor and was interested in his work with Jane Addams at Hull House, the pioneer social settlement. They were devoted and unselfish, but, when I looked around the Hull House neighborhood several years ago, nothing seemed to have changed much. Mr. Taylor’s son, Wayne C. Taylor, grew up in this shadow of misery, and now moves into a sort of pantograph enlarge ment of the same. He is en route to Finland, to study and organize relief there. The social settlement theory, as bravely expounded and lived by the elder Mr. Taylor and Jane Ad- dams, was that "all men are brothers,” and, if fortunate citi zens will live in neighborly intercourse with the unfortunate, “a little leaven will leaven the whole lump.” The younger Mr. Taylor, catching step with his times, was a realist who believed that the way ahead lay in understanding of basic eco nomic forces and in the application of progressive and enlightened tech niques of government. He became special adviser to President Roose velt on foreign trade; assistant ad ministrator of the AAA; vice presi dent of the Export-Import bank of Washington; assistant secretary of the treasury. He withdrew from the last-named office last February, dissenting from what he considered the treasury department’s policy of shaping money procedure to foreign policy. Like the Hull House melio- rists, it would seem that the economist innovators and reno vators have not yet found the golden key. A comparison of notes by father and son as to what’s wrong with West Madi son street, Europe and in-be tween points, and what to do about it, would, I am sure, be in teresting. Mr. Taylor was graduated from Yale in 1916, served in the World war, and was engaged in the bank ing and brokerage business in Chi cago before going to Washington in 1933. Stork Habitual Visitor to Massachusetts Family Is a s Mr. and Mrs. James OIiveri of Quincy, Mass., visited by the stork only recently, are shown with their family of 12 children. Mrs. Oliver! holds the youngest arrival, who was christened Peter. Mr. Oliveri. 36 years old, is an auto mechanic receiving $36 a week salary. Mrs. Oliveri is 32 years old. The couple has been married for 15 years. IT WOULD be hard to say whether big,-swart, dead-pan Col. Fulgen- cio Batista, Cuba’s power man, beaded in from right or left. Possi- O tP ow erM en with all such H ard to Place cuFrent inn^vators, a n d their political orientation is merely academic. A year ago, the news scouts were reporting that Batista was swinging right. The news today is that the Cuban Communist party is backing him for election to the presidency. Also news is the mere fact that they are having a presiden tial election in Cuba. Batista was cane-rustler, barber, ditch- digger, brakeman, soldier and stenographer, before he seized Cuba with the flight of Presir dent Machado. He is of Cnban, Indian, Chilean origin, with Mongoloid features and big muscles. . !Consolidated Fefaturea—WNU Service,! Nazi Land Mine Hunters Draw Most Dangerous Job m £ k a %i%, -Y The warning sign, "Minen,” (mines) on the cart tells the story of this picture. A squad of German sol diers hunt land mines in a sector on the western front recovered from the French. Most dangerous job is that of pulling the cart in which recovered, mines are carried. A slight mishap and it is doubtful if even the identification tag would be found. The recovered bombs which cannot be used by the finders are destroyed by Nazi marksmen—in a safe place. Meet ‘Josephine,’ 900-Pound Champion Diaper Derby “Josephine,” 900-pound three-time champion Poland China hog, gets a long drink of water from four-year-old Marlene Cattle. Josephine attract ed more than her share of attention when she was entered in a Los Angeles live stock show. She weighs about 20 times as much as her diminutive caretaker, but obeys orders readily, especially if there’s food in the offing. , Final Russo-German Splitup of Polish Pie B altic Sea P Cra cow Creation of a puppet Polish state under Berlin domination is expected shortly as the final step in that doomed nation’s division between Ger many and Russia. Small area, whose fate is still undecided probably will become a corral for German and Polish Jews, who will be forced to seek refuge there. Edward Moeller, a bat Iielor un cle, won the Kansas City, Mo., dia per derby recently when he bested a field of five experienced fathers, completing his task in 1:02 seconds. Reason; He used a zipper equipped diaper in which to enclose his *oung but co-operative nephew, Bobby Smith. 4-H Corn Prince I Coat and Dress Styled With Youthful ‘Swing’ Silhouette Rv CHERIE M CHO L \S '.I A « M s a T H E “swing” technique persists * in costume styling throughout the later showings of winter coat and dress collections. The fact that full ness has become an important fac tor in the new silhouette is no bar rier to a slenderizing outcome. Thanks to the cunning craft and consummate art of modem designers the problem has been so victoriously met that whether you be sylphlike or more or less rotund in figure you will find that the smart, new fashions that are saying it with a “swing” are actually very flatter ing. In the illustration three highly successful modes are shown each of which makes “swing” its theme. The long coat and dress ensemble of gray wool to the right in the group is typical of the trend to fitted sil houettes that take on fullness about the hemline. It is just such wool classics as this that are finding ac ceptance with best dressed women. The flair for daytime dresses made of pastel wools (just the type to wear under your fur coat) done in the simplest possible fashion with fit ted waists and flaring skirts is a pleasing gesture which fashion is making. Centered in the picture is a frock of sage green wool featuring fitted slenderizing princess lines that adopt an interesting tuck technique. Here again a generously full hem line swings into sprightly grace. A chubby mouton bolero complemented with a green feather-trimmed p;ll-box hat made of matching mouton sounds an ultra chic note. The exceedingly goodlooking tunic dress to the left in the picture dem onstrates what happens when a dis tinguished designer such as Moly- neaux of Paris takes the swing idea and multiplies it by two. This very pleasing dress with its double swing silhouette is of stiff black faille (a high fashion fabric this season). Its tunic , and skirt zip up the front. A gold clip finishes its heart shaped neckline. Here is a grand example of a basic black dress that invites stunning jewelry ensembles or dashes of color which this season’s accessories exploit. Speaking of the new fullness in skirts, a topic of utmost significance in current styles, the question has often been brought up as to its positioning, whether it should be at the back or sides or brought to the front. The answer is no matter where the fullness, just so there is fullness somewhere. So far as the sports swagger coat is concerned the news is'definitely that of back flares contrived via pleats or gores or circular cut. Dress coats are made with fitted waists and skirts that often flare all- around. Sb widespread is the favor for flares even the newest fur coats are made with fitted waists and full skirts. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Flattery of Lace Fur Ensemble Now Is Important News You have seen a fur-clad trap per with his bushy fur hat, fur gloves and fur jacket. Add a big muff to these items and you have somewhat of a picture of the first impression ladies of fashion make in their dramatic fur ensembles. The importance of fiir millinery cannot be overemphasized. What ever you do, be sure that you keep in mind that your fur coat or jacket or cape must be matched with a spectacular hat of the same fur. As to muffs this season, they are huge or of novel design. You can even get fur trimmed gloves. With cloth suits and coats the smartest thing is an “as costly as thy purse can buy” neckpiece the long fur stole being especially chic, and don’t forget that matching fur muff is inevitable this season. "Good seed, careful tillage and good fertilizer”—that’s Raymond Kreig’s recipe for championship corn. Kreig, 17-year-old Oakley, 111., 4-H club worker, won the Corn Prince title in Chicago’s nationwide contest. He produced 75 bushels of championship open pollenated yellow corn per acre on his profitable six- acre plot Fashion is placing increasing em- phasis.on the flattery of lace for the mature woman. The exquisite black laces that seem this season more beautiful than ever before have a gracious dignity about them that tunes perfectly to womanly charm. With the low neckline of the dress pictured a string of pearls is most enhancing. Long velvet gloves repeat the color accent of : the velvet flowers worn by this Iove- 1 Iy lady. The dress is a rayon Chan- ltilly. The dress comes in black, royal blue, wine and grape. Style and Comfort In New Stockings The long-hoped-for has happened, in that silk stockings that are wool- lined are announced for winter wear. They might properly be classed as a necessary luxury in that being up to date, they are sell ing only in the higher-class shops. In appearance they look as if they might be a fine silk service type but the wearer knows of the warmth and glow that the wool lining imparts. Silver Nailheads Rows of tiny silver nailheads sewn to collar, cuffs and hemline are the effective trim suggested by one de- zlener for a nlain block dress.

Be ing a canny lad, he took up the matter of food with Director Charles Vidor, who agreed to order Hay ward’s favorite dish for the four meals—fried chicken. I wonder if the manager of your local movie theater was as clever as mine was. The other day he sent me a little card, in a little envelope—as I opened, it I. wondered which of my friends had had a baby. The card read “Mr. and Mrs. Thin Man proudly announce the birth of a baby boy. Come and see the whole family at the Stam ford theater starting Thursday.” Across the bottom of the card was a brief advertisement for a shop that sells baby clothes. We’re about to have a new cycle in pictures—a cycle of religious pic tures. Cecil B. DeMille will make “Queen of Queens” for Paramount. Twentieth Century - Fox recently bought “The Great Commandment,” which was made by Cathedral Films, and will make it over. BKO may give us a film version of “Father Malachy’s Miracle,” and Twen tieth Century-Fox may do “The First Legion.” If the first of these to be released is a success, the smaller companies will lose no time in scheduling religious pictures of their own.

Now they are loth expert guitar players, though it’s Mary Jane who plays when they sing on the air. — *— ■ When Charles Laughton was a guest recently on the “Screen Guild Theater” he upset radio tradition and startled Producer Joe Hill by memorizing his script. Hill wouldn’t believe that he had done it, which seems odd, in view of the fact that Laughton has been on the stage and in the movies for years.

Vegetables are not apt to be prime favorites with men; practically ev ery man has a little black list of his own—vegeta bles he just will not accept gra ciously. Father is apt to be as chary of spinach and other vegetables as his own eight-year-old, and to look upon salads as mere woman’s nonsense! It isn’t strange, if Jun ior, who adores his Dad, begins to proclaim his likes and dislikes in no uncertain terms. Like father, like son! So coax father to keep his, “I-don’t-likes” to himself—at meal time. . But there are salads and vegeta bles that father really enjoys. You’ll find suggestions in my booklet, “Feeding Father,” for preparing them, and recipes, too, for his favorite meat dishes and desserts. But to get back to vegetables, have you ever wondered why the very people who love to nibble on a raw carrot, fresh from the garden, are the ones who need to be coaxed to eat them once they’re cooked? You’ll find one solution to the prob lem of getting Dad and Junior to eat their carrots, right there. Why not serve them crisp, raw carrot sticks for a vegetable? Or make a crisp, colorful salad by combining shredded raw carrots and shredded raw beets with the tender young leaves of raw spinach? Mix Ughtly with sow: cream salad dressing or french dressing, and serve from a salad bowl so that the boys may help themselves. Perhaps just changing the meth ods of preparing and serving them is all you need to do to arouse family interest in vegetables. Here are some recipes that are just a bit out- of-the-ordinary—recipes I think your family will enjoy. Onions Baked in Tomatoes.

GOLDEN TEXT-Ttaou art the Christ, the Son of the Uving God.—Matthew 16:16. Many outstanding miracles had been performed by our Lord during His ministry in Galilee, and now as -that- period of His earthly work was drawing to a close He went with the disciples north into the great heathen center, Caesarea Philippi. Here He asked them'life’s greatest question, “What think ye of the Christ?” and Peter, blessed of God with true utterance, became the instrument for that confession of Christ upon which He could found His Church. Then there came from His blessed lips the prophecy of His death and resurrection which would make it possible for all .who believe to become the sons of God and mem bers of that Church. I. The Question—Who Is the Son of Man? (w . 13-17). The question of Christ was general at first, and in the answer we find that the peope of our Lord’s own day had a very high opinion of Him. They saw in Him the com bined merits of the outstanding char acters of their generation. They knew that He was no ordinary indi vidual. He had made a striking impression on His own age, as in deed He has on every age of human history. Observe carefully that such a con fession of Christ is not sufficient. It is not enough to acknowledge Him as the great teacher, the per fect example, or the way-shower. To deny His divinity, to take from Him His place as Son of the living God is to make of Him an impostor and a fraud. The personal question which follows, “Whom say ye that I am?” is the supremely important question from which no man can escape. Neutrality is impossible. Whatever we do or fail to do declares our position. “What think ye of Christ?” is the touchstone which determines character, condition and destiny. Peter by the grace of God had come to the place where he recognized the one with whom he was having blessed fellowship in service as the Messiah, the Anointed One, the Son of the living God. We too should be so responsive to the guid ance and control of the Holy Spirit that He may be able to teach us spiritual truth, which flesh and blood can never reveal. II. The Church—Its True Foundation (w . 18-20). Christ, the Son of the living God, is the rock upon which the Church is built. The confession by Peter of this fact is in response to the question of Christ, “Whom say ye that I am?” and hence clearly re lates to Christ, not to Peter, or to anything in Peter’s personality. He was indeed blessed in his confes sion of Christ, but it is Christ who is the rock upon which the powerful and glorious Church is founded. It follows without possibility of de nial that only that organization which truly represents Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God, has any right to call itself a church. Count less are the groups calling them selves churches which are nothing but social or intellectual clubs with possibly a slightly religious flavor, for they deny the deity of Christ. Why are they not honest enough to take their proper names and their rightful places in the community? Is it because they wish to have the financial support of God’s people and bear the good name of the Church? III. The Cross—for Christ and for Me (w . 21*24). The shadow of the cross falls across the little gathering of disci ples as the Lord tells them of His impending death «n the cross. Note that He rightly coupled with the fact of His death the truth of the resurrection, which gives it true meaning and which carries us be yond the darkness of Calvary to the light and beauty of Easter morning. Peter who had a moment before spoken for God, now becomes the mouthpiece of the devil. From con fessing his Lord, Peter turned to. tempting Him to avoid the cross. That he “meant well” does not ex cuse Peter’s folly, nor does it' ex cuse the blundering though well- meaning misdirections which many are giving to the souls of men in our day. Had Jesus yielded to the solicitation of the EvU One through Peter, there would never have been any redemption from sin wrought out on Calvary’s cross. But we observe in verse 24 that there is a cross for the Christian as well as for Christ. Obviously we can never bear His cross, He ialone could do that, but we are to take up our own cross and deny ourselves and follow Him. Self on the cross—Christ on the throne— such is the secret of real disciple- ship HCM-B SEW 4 - Ruth^fyeth Spears is I & PAINT DEEP BLUfW uI P / BINDlNd CUSHION A gay winged chair for the youngster A GOOD deal has been said about children having to live in a giant’s world where all the furniture is made for grown-ups.

In one Southern farming sec tion miles from a main highway, they were surprised to find a team of oxen, hooked to an ancient wooden cart, still doing active daily ser vice. A sequence portraying the team was Rimed, and may be viewed in the picture, which is now being shown all through the South by the distributors of Arcadian Nitrate. The scene is part of the historical picture presented to portray the development of Southern agricul ture. Later on in “The New South” wmiusi recent improvements in farming, down to the d tractor, are shown in ILU ^he crude beginnings. One of the greatest advance ments has been the education of the farmer in the use of fertilizers to obtain the greatest yield from his crops, and to prevent his land from being depleted. In most Cot ton Belt soils, the plant food which is most often deficient is nitrogen, the growth element. Today the South, which still re members the days when oxen fur nished the motive power on the farm, can look forward to a new era of farm prosperity based on sci entific findings. W f S ' MR.

For several years there has been considerable discussion and agita. tion about marrien women having positions which properly belong to men or single “sisters” who need tbe work It is still being argued that if all the married women whose husbands hold positions and draw salaries amply able to support their families, would give up their jobs no less than a million jobs would be opened to that number of un employed, members of both sexes. During a discussion of the sub ject the other day, one of the heads of a large business in this city, re. marked that he bad given thought to tbe matter and that he had de cided women generally speaking, are better suited for stenographic work and typing than men. He admitted that bis concern had its employ a number ot both married and unmarried women and that most of them were thoroughly cap able and do. their work well. “ We have some I would hate to have leave us—and I mean single and married” he added. Others employers hat e beep beard to say that until business bouses decide to give preference to men and women who actually need employment, releasing those who are in position to provide for them selves, the unemployment problem will remain with this country. One business man admitted that the plan suggested would not give jobs to all; the idle in this country,' for the reason tbat there are too many men and women who are too lazy and indolent to hold any kind of job. “ We can find a number of them in Winston-Salem who pre. fer to beg a living rather than work for it,” this long-time citizen de clared.—Twin City Sentinel. A New Deal Saving. Glory be! The New Deal is go ing to save money! It’s a rather small amount— $2 2,500 a year— but it’s a saving! Let's all hope tbat it will be the beginning of continued efforts along this line. The. saving comes from the Pre sidential abolishment of tbe Inter* national Joint Commission by tbe simple procejs of asking tbe three men on the commission at $7,500 a year, to resign, and giving the work of tbe commission which ar bitrates boundary disputes between the United States and Canada, to regular members of the government departments. The President announced it as a saving, so that’s what it must be called. We shall not scoff, because any saving is highly important in these days of a $40,000,000 debt and so President Roosevelt is rich- Iv deserving of the congratulations of us all. - The sum of $22,500 a year rep resents, roughly $432 a week, $61 a day,- $5 an hour, or 8 cents a minute. Statistics tell us tbat the New Deal spending $1,500 a minute throughout its existence. Well, it has been cut to $ t,499 9* a minute anyway. So again; congratulations. Mr. Rooseveitl-Union Republican What Good Is It? Farmers complain because they can’t send enough lard, or wheat, or pork, or cotton abroad. Yet wbat good is it to send something abroad; if we don’t get anything back? If we're just trying to get rid of it,"our folks at home might as well have first choice.—W.

' Tbe Ametican people are whole heartedly in sympathy with Fin. IariH in her utterly unjustified in. vasion by Russia. And tbat sym pathy seems to be shared by tbe en tire world, excepting, of . source, t’ae greedy heads ot states that owe their power to pillaging. And so when appeal is made for voluntary contributions meant for the relief of a distressed people, Americans will dig willingly and deep into their pockets to meet their need. They know tbat our gov ernment could not escape the perils that would attend any loosening of oar neutrality laws for the bene fit ot Finland; they know what Fin land probably does not understand, that we are unalterably opposed to spilling American blood on Euro pean cause as this, but they want they want their government to go as far as it can consistently go in extending a helping hand. Now that opportunity is offered for private contributions to Finnish a d, we predict tbat there will be such hearty public response tbat whoever in Europe senses the im portance of American sentiment will be quick to gauge it. Which is to say that Joseoh Stalin and is side.kicks will be given an eyetul of American condemnation of the hideous suffering they have brought to a happy little country,' whose only offense is tbat It stands in the way of ghoulish ambitions. The fact that Former President Herbett Hoover is beading tb e movement looking to relief for Fin land adds to tbe certainty of tbe certainty of tbe justisc of cause and to its significance abroad. For Mr. Hoover is known over there when bis ministrations during tbe world war were applauded and appreciat ed. Mr. Hoover’s appeal is not con. fined to those who can spare tbeir thousand dollars but wants it un derstood that dimes and dollars will be greatly appreciated, because the sum total of them all is but an ex pression of our svmpaty. It is fine that we are buying our. selves in this activity, and it is equally fine that it commands tbe interest of Mr. Hoover to the ex tent tbat be is enthusiastically heading the movement. — S’ates. ville Daily. Our Daily Bread. When we pray: for our daily bread it would not be unfitting also to pray for deliveiance from tbe bidden taxes concealed in the" price we pay wuenever we buy the staff of life. Thers is, to he sure, a certain a mount of retribution in these taxes they are the penalty we pay for our I indifference to wasteful government spending; for our tolerance of a prodigal Administration. Fifty-three of these hidden levies are baked in every loaf of broad Thev account for 20 percent of the cost.

Little Stingers. From Tbe Yellow Jacket. You can’t pray straight and Vote crooked. As we see it, FRD expects the taxpayers to upbo'd him while be holds them up. A demagog mav deceive his con- tempories, but be rarely deceives future generations. Coming soon—more borrowing- more bonds—more taxes—bigger deficits. Tbis is the New Deal way. FDR promised that he wouldn’t let tbe saloon come back, but what he has turned loose i3 many times worse. We note tbat Hen. Wallace; Harrold Ickes, John L. Lewis and E^rl Browder are all 1-bent for a third term for FDR. Some people claim that nudism is a form of religion. Golly, if that’s so, backsliding must be just a bit uncomfortable. They wanted repeal of the arms embargo and b'heck, thev got it, but it appears that it stirred, up more problems than it settled. Cellars have usually been con' sidered a suitable place to store a way potatoes. ' But beer cellars don’t offer much security for Hit ler yams. It is surprising to tbmk that FDR or any New Dealer could expect the prosperity Kite to stay up in the air with a 45 billion dollar debt tied to its tail.

Traffic Deaths. ; Statistics presented at the Na tional Safety Congress, which tuet in Atlantic Ciiy recent'y, disclosed some significant facts on the deaths of pedestrians and motorists who were intoxicated. The statistics show that one out of every seven pedestrians who lost bis Iite was intoxicated, and one of each ten motorists was in the same condition. These figures (leal only with tbe fatilities of intoxi cated pedestralns and drive's, not the number of persons killed by in- toxicated pedestrians and drivers, not tbe number of persons killed Oy intoxicated drivers, nor tbe number of accidents due to tbe in toxication of either the pedestraiu or the driver. The problem of the. intoxicated drivers and pedestrains is difficult of solution. Campaigns of educa tions by scores of cities have belp- el to reduce traffic accidents ma terially, but such accidents due; to alcohol seem to be be) ond the effects of education and the law, piimari- Iy because tbe victim for the time h is largely lost control of his facul* ties, and beyond reach of the law for several reasons, among which are inability of police in many cisesto prove intoxication on the p u t of the person accused, and re luctance of juries to convict respon sible citizens who admit having been drinking, but deny having injbioed too much. A three year study on' a nation wide scale repoited to the Safety Congress pou.ts to simple scientific tests of detei mining tbe amount of alcohol in the b.ood, as h. hope .of removing the inioxiCited pedes trian and driver from traffic. ; Tlie Moie Folks Yon Tell The Moie Good* Yea SeU to m m Has Running Water is a modern necessity in every home I "D EY O N D the reach XBJftafiT.

LORD BALTIMORE J BAlTlM Otlf MAtYlANO LIQUID -TjABLETi - SALVE-NOSE DROPS hJtJUjlA.AAd- ! The Honorable Uncle Lancy OBotbt-MwlIICfc. By ETHEL HUESTON WNU Ssivice TH E STOBT THUS FAB Left orphans by a tragic automobile accident which claimed the Uves of their mother and father, three sisters, Helen, Adele and "Limpy.” are visited by their Aunt Olympia, poUtically minded wife of Senator Alencon Delaporte Slopshlre. She Insists that the girls return with her to Washington, to make their home with them. In addition to loving the girls, Aunt Olympia knows they will be a terrific political asset Senator Slopshlre has as his poUtical opponent one Brother Wilkie, a minister, whose political campaign is furthered by seven "unspeakable brats” who sit on the rostrum with him while he makes speeches. Aunt Olympia and the Senator, kind and loving;* nevertheless know that their three nieces will mean votes for the Senator. Senator Slopshlre, a pleasantly foggy individual who depends on the astuteness of his wife, prepares for their coming. Though Limpy. the youngest, is 16. and Helen, the oldest. Is 21, the Senator buys them all the toys and gifts he can find, feeling that "children” should be occupied. CHAPTER III—Continued "An apartment is part of a house and home is what you make it," Olympia contradicted the Senator. “And an apartment is closer togeth er, more intimate. I want them to be intimate. I want them to get used to seeing you around and being with you and—if possible—to like you as if you were their very own . . . Before the campaign starts," she added significantly. It must be said for the Senator that never once had he remotely thought of the children as latent campaign material. “Oh, they’ve got plenty of time to get used to me,” he said mildly. “Well, it took me a good many years to get used to you and even now sometimes I’m surprised. Very much surprised! Besides, a hotel apartment is more accessible. Ac cessible' to newspapermen and pho tographers as well as constituents . . . Fortunately, they photograph well . . . Yes, you’re right, Del. We’d better take a larger apartment and stay where we are. This year at least. Next year is another year.’’ Their talk during those interven ing days was all of the children. The Senator wiped his glasses with out intermission during a full hour while Olympia told him the sad de tails of the tragedy and the fu neral. He did not brighten until she added thoughtfully: As Limpy says, it’s just terrify ing the way things happen so out of a clear sky. But as I said to Limpy, there’s always something to look forward to. I was all cut up—I was terribly cut up—about this hor rible tragedy.” Her chin quivered a little and tears flooded her eyes. “And yet just look! Nothing else in the world could have given us those children.”“We’ll be very good to them,” said the Senator. “I’ll buy them anything they want.” The Senator’s sole idea of being good to children was to buy them things. ’‘Del,” Olympia said, almost pleadingly, “I want you to help me about something.” That shocked the Senator. He was used to having his advice asked when Olympia had her mind made up. He. was used to receiving orders for co-operation or for the carrying out of plans. For Olympia to ask his help, ask it pleadingly, was something new. “Helen,” she explained, tearfully, “is going home next winter and mar ry a grocery store. She doesn’t blow I know it, so kindly do not make any comments about it. She’s of age and it’s nobody’s business but her own. Adele is so beautiful that she’s bound to be gobbled up immediately and that’s an end of her. But Del,” Olympia began to cry softly, which so distressed the Senator that he set at once to wip ing his glasses though he had no idea what she was crying about, “Del, there’s Limpy! If we work this thing right, we can have Limpy! She’s ordy sixteen; she calls it sev enteen minus, but she’s only sixteen. If we make her happy and she learns to like us, we can have her. I - Del, I never wanted anything so much in my life.” And she fell to crying again. The Senator didn’t even cough. “Ollie,” he said firmly, “if you want that child, you can have her. You deserve her, Ollie. If she turns out to be a nice child and you want her, you can have her." “She’s a grand child, Del. She’s just grand! And named after me, too . . . You’d think she might like me all rights wouldn’t you? . . . They’re all nice children,” she admitted, rather grudgingly. “Helen is a little pig-headed. You wouldn’t think a person as angelic as Helen could be so pig-headed about a de livery boy. Adele’s nice, too. I wouldn’t have believed such a beau ty could be so nice if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes . . . But Iiimpy—Del, Limpy is the cockiest, bravest little thing you ever saw. She’s—well, it made me sick to have to come away and leave her even for three weeks. I kept wanting all the time to pick her up and start running with her.” “Do you want her as much as that, Ollie?” he asked, rather awk wardly. They had been married a long time and sweet speeches be tween them had come to seem artificial and affected, but he really thought a great deal ofv.Olympia; he was actually fond of her. “Ollie, you’re all right! And anything you want as much as that, I’m going to see that you get!” “It’s not as simple as that,” she said ruefully. “But Del, I give you my word, I - I want Limpy so much that I’d rather have her than have you lick that damn preacher. I’d rather have her than the whole Sen- ?te and the House thrown in. I’d ather have her than the White House!” That settled it for the Senator. Limpy was virtually their child. Aunt Olympia occupied herself until the girls* arrival by a systematic procedure which she called “build ing them up.” There were details to be attended to, of course; taking a larger apartment, for instance; laying in additional household sup plies; sending back almost daily the curious assortment of gifts the Senator sent up In advance of their coming. But in the main, she devoted herself to “building them up.” She saw everyone, she accepted ev ery invitation, she resumed attend ance at all her neglected clubs. She gave a large luncheon. She even went calling on just the right people. She talked constantly of “my poor dear children.” She showed pictures of them, the most flattering ones. She apologized for her constant rush by saying she wanted to get every thing of a social nature off her cal endar before the poor dear children arrived. “Naturally, then, my place will be *. !th them. They are veiy sad. Su h a tragedy! But their uncle and I will do what we can to comfort them.” Every word, every gesture, was deliberately planned to whet inter- m She wrote letters to her friends at home, voters, every one! est, to arouse sympathy, to insure a profusion of polite courtesies with attendant publicity. She wrote letters to her friends at home—voters, every one!—recount ing the tragedy and invariably add ed, “We shall have our three dear little nieces with us this summer. Naturally, they will make their home with us. I do want them to find new interest in life and come gradually out from this terrible shadow that has so darkened their beautiful youth. I know you will help me.” Due largely to these tireless and effectual preliminaries, the Senator got a very good press on his be nign adoption of the three young or phans. He, along with Olympia and a crowd of newspapermen and pho tographers, met tkem on their ar rival at Union Station. Uncle Lancy was photographed with them in many interesting poses; kissing Limpy, the youngest; patting the grave Helen paternally on the shoul der; chucking the beautiful Adele under her highly photographic chin. He was photographed, too, wiping the moisture from his glasses with a very large, very white handker chief. It was genuine moisture. The picture was appropriately captioned “Senator Weeps Over Pretty, Pathetic Young Wards.” Even Aunt Olympia pronounced the arrival a complete success. Senator Slopshire was neither large, nor tall, nor handsome, be ing instead rather jauntily rotund with a ruddy pink skin. He was slightly bald and the top of his head was of a ruddy pinkness. He was definitely dapper, punctilious in ev ery detail of dress, manner and speech. The girls found, to their delighted relief, that, for all her robust en ergy, Aunt Olympia was easy to live with. She was always alert, always humorously sarcastic, even bitter, but her pleasure in the girls’ presence was obvious and she was flattered to rosy flushes by their spontaneous laughter at her re marks. She gave them almost un limited freedom. She said that, in her opinion, “people should do as they pleased.” If they wanted to get up for breakfast, they could. If they didn’t, they could stay abed. If they wanted to come in when there were callers, she was glad to have them; if they were disinclined, she made voluble excuse for them. Best, of all, she was not snoopy and she never pried. Anything that came naturally within range of her eyes or ears went immediately into her storehouse of knowledge and was used to telling effect. But she nev er snooped.Helen sometimes wondered uneas ily if all this “doing as she pleased” was quite the best training for Lim py, at such a tender age. After all, she Was only a child. One evening, as they sat together before the fireplace in the big living room, part of Olympia’s persistent cam paign to “make them intimate,” Helen said: “Auntie, have you inquired^about a school for Limpy? The second semester should begin very soon now, I think.” “Yes,” said Olympia promptly. “I have a list of all the girls’ schools in the District and I loiow just what they’re good for. All Limpy has to do is to decide whether she wants to educate herself up to society, to the night clubs, to get married, or go into business.” The Senator took off his glasses, wiped them thoroughly and coughed deprecatingly. “My dear, do you think it’s wise starting the child into school in the middle of the year, and such a very hard year? In my opinion, she needs a rest and a change and a little va cation. She looks thin and pale to me!” The girls and Olympia turned shocked eyes to inspect the astonished Limpy, whose face turned a deep rose from delighted excitement at thought of escaping school. “Limpy, don’t you feel well? You do look feverish!” ejaculated Aunt Olympia, in a panic of alarm. “Of course she’s feverish,” said the Senator. “And pale, too, for that matter. Why shouldn’t she be pale and feverish? Look at all she’s gone through! Too much study doesn’t do a young mind any good. I say let her come around with me and see the sights and get a good rest. She can get enough schooling next year.” Aunt Olympia was more than distressed; she was terrified. This was Limpy! “Limpy, do you feel sick? Have you any pain?” she quavered. And her alarm was for Limpy alone. She never once thought of the danger to her campaign. “Limpy, I don’t believe you do look very healthy. We’ll have the doctor in, right away. Maybe the Senator is right, girls. Maybe she’d better rest and take things easy this year.” “Of course I’m right,” said the Senator, well pleased with himself. “Certainly she’d better rest and have a good time. She can read good books when she feels like it. There’s real education in books. She can come up with me and listen to the Senate—though it is not usually very educational.”“I could coach her in trigonome try,” said Helen. “She’s going to have trouble with that when she goes to college.” “Of course!” said the Senator. “A few minutes a day won’t hurt her, but don’t run it into the ground.” And then suddenly Limpy came to life. She bounded out of her low chair, crossed the room in two lithe leaps and landed in a heap on the Senator’s rigid, unaccustomed knees. She clasped him in both arms, seriously deranging his two- dollar tie and knocking off his Oh, Uncle Lancy, you darling!” she cried. “You perfect old peach! What a simply swell idea! . . . Aunt Olympia, he’s right! I swear I’m beginning to think maybe I very nearly do feel sick!” There was no further trouble about being intimate with Uncle Lancy. Limpy had taken him to their united bosom and he was theirs. But Helen took pains to se lect good books for her to read for educational purposes and gave her an hour’s grilling in trigonometry every day. After all, a child that age should spend some time learn ing something! On an afternoon in March, when all official Washington was beginning to fret at the unconscionable delay of adjournment, Aunt Olympia sat quietly, at peace with the world, reading the Congressional Record.Adele stood between the deep blue curtains at the window looking down into the hotel park. AU outdoor things made her think of home and of old days and of that low mound in the cemetery back in Iowa; made her a little sad. She wore a grace ful . ankle-length gown of white crepe, with Wide loose sleeves band ed with soft black fur. Aunt Olympia had picked it out. A narrow band of black velvet confined Adele’s fair curls—that was her own idea. Hilda, the sour Swede, appeared suddenly at the door, prefacing her appearance with a suggestive cough. “I wish you wouldn’t cough,” said Aunt Olympia irritably. "You sound like the Senator about to take the edge off something good. If you’ve got anything to say, take a cough drop and say it.” “Mr. Len Hardesty is downstairs and craves a few minutes,” said Hilda. Aunt Olympia flung the Record halfway across the room. She bounded out of her chair. She pal pitated aU over. Adele, turning be tween the curtains, regarded her with amazement. Aunt Olyraple had never before shown temper, except verbally."Len Hardesty! That louse! fHiat snake-in-the-grass! I won’t see him! Don’t you let him cross my thresh old! Tell him I’m not at home.” “Sure you’re home, Ollie Slop, old top,” drawled a low voice, and Len Hardesty stood in the door. “I was afraid you’d be in one of your little pre-campaign moods, so I told them to announce me in five min utes and I came right on up and tapped at the side door and a very nice young lady at toe telephone let me in and motioned me down here, and here I am.”“Oh, hello, Len,” said Aunt Olym pia, not at all unpleasantly but rath er cordially.“How lovely and: serene you are today, with the Record at your feet,” he went on coolly. "Where a Sloppy?”“If you mean the Senator, he is where he should be, trying to bring some order out of a chaotic Con gress.”Her eyes went unconsciously to the motionless figure in black and white between the blue curtains. Quite naturally Len Hardesty’s gaze followed hers. Swiftly his eyes widened. Inele gantly, his'jaw dropped. Wordless for once he gaped at the vision be tween the curtains. Then he flung his hat to the floor and clutched his head in both hands. “My little niece, Adele, the Sen ator’s middle ward,” announced Olympia, with s smirk of smug com placency. “Not one of the orpbeas! Ollie, you wouldn’t do that to an old pal! You couldn’t be that low—not even you could be as low as that! You wouldn’t sick your old buddy onto seven brats and a tin trumpet and then double-cross me with—heaven- on-earth! Wsuld you do that?” “Oh, that’s only one of them,” said Aunt Olympia happily. “We have three! They adore the Sena tor!" “You couldn’t have three! There couldn’t be three. There are no mir acles, not even in politics. She’s not flesh and blood anyhow. She’3 wax. She’s an automaton you’ve rigged up to throw a scare into me —and successfully, I admit that, most successfully!” Adele, being stared at, dropped a very slight curtsey and smiled. “You pulled a wire!” Len Har desty accused Airnt Olympia. “You know you pulled a wire. She’s a female Charlie McCarthy, that’s what she is; but much better-look ing.” “Well, what of it? Charlie seems to be doing all right for himself. And so’s Adele, if you ask me! . . . Sit down, darling.” The warmth of of her smile for Adele was beatific. “Ollie, I want to make a deal with you,” said Len Hardesty earnestly. “I'll swap you the brats, all seven of ’em, and the bellwether too, for this one; just this one. You can keep the others.” “Not interested. Definitely not in terested,” said Aunt Olympia. “You admit, then, that when I pick cam paign material, I pick it.” “I’ll throw in two of Brother Wil kie’s best sermons and the tin trum pet. I’ll throw in the cane, too.” Atmt Olympia waved the idea from her with a happy gesture. Len Hardesty took another look at the smiling Adele. “To tell you the truth, Ollie,” he said, humbly, “I’m not sure but I’ll throw in the Gov ernor . . . Yes, come to think of it, I will! I’ll throw in the Governor.” “I wouldn’t have him for fish bait,” she said contemptuously. “You made your political bed, now lie in it. If you can find room among the brats and the tin horn.” “I’d better have a drink, Ollie. I’d better have two drinks. I feel very badly. Low! Very low. She” —he nodded his head dolorously to ward Adele—“wouldn’t know what we are talking about, Ollie, but you and I know. Well, I feel very bad in the pit of my stomach.” “Oh, I know about the pit of the stomach,” said Adele brightly. “It’s where you feel the most all-gone when you feel all-gone.” - “I’ll probably need three drinks. Ring, Ollie,” he said dully. Aunt Olympia, quivering with pleasure, rang for HUda. “Since this snake-in-the grass is bent on drinking himself to death, we may as well do. what we can to help along the good cause. Scotch and soda, Hilda, and a plain lemonade for Miss Adele.” Len Hardesty, still holding his head in both hands, stared uninter ruptedly at Adele. “Can’t I do something for you? Can’t I be helpful? May I offer you a cigarette?” “Not now, thanks,” said AdeIe po litely. “What do you mean, ‘Not now, thanks’? Don’t you smoke?” he asked moodily. “Oh, Aimt Olympia!” Adele cried reproachfully. “You said no one would ever suspect we don’t smoke if we just say, ‘Not now, thanks.’ ” “So she’s teaching you your lines, eh? I might have known it. I sup pose it was she who taught you to run your eyelashes up and down like that and give a guy goose f'esh.” “No, I must have got that from God. But she told me what to say about drihking.” “What did she tell you to say?” he asked in sepulchral tones. “What ever it is, it’s going to be a vote- getter.” “She said if a gentleman simply insists that you take a drink . . . Now, you pretend you’re a gentle man and Insist that I have a-drink and I’ll give you a demonstration. I need practice anyhow.” (TO BE CONTINUEDJ CLASSIFIED d e pa r t m e n t BABY CHICKS OBDEB TODB CHICKS.

Selznick, the producer, took tim e out to think of all of us who couldn’t be there. Before le a v in g H ollyw ood he h a d held a pre-view for the crit ics, and their opinion of the picture convinced him that it ought not to be cut. He had thought that anyway. But the picture runs three hours and 45 minutes—the average film only 80 minutes. Despite his long experi ence as a producer, he couldn’t be sure that the public would sit still that long for any film, no matter how good it was. The California critics did, and if they would, anybody would. So, on arriving in Atlanta, he announced that it would be released at its pres ent length; perhaps at the end of the first year it may be cut so that it will run only two hours and a half. Ilona Massey is off to a good start. The lovely blonde Hungarian, who, according to one critic, “looks like Dietrich, talks like Garbo,” and sings like the former, has proved m L ILONA MASSEY that she is stellar material. In “Balalaika” she did her share to give us a good picture and revive musical films. Of course, she was ably aided by Nelson Eddy, Charles Ruggles and Frank Morgan. Now she is slated for “Old New Orleans,” perhaps with Clark Gable in the leading male role. Stanley Logan, who for the past six years has been one of Holly wood’s leading dialogue directors, has had to turn actor. He tested four candidates for the role of a colonel in the British army, for the Edward Small production, “My Son, My Son,” and then was himself se lected for the part. -SK- Harry Carey, who won fresh lau rels in “Mr. Smith Goes to Wash ington,” is going on tour with his son and daughter in a stage skit which he wrote for himself. They will give the first performance in Dallas, Texas, and then tour the South, Midwest and East. Those bits of music that you hear as background for the “Hobby Lob by” program are written by Dave Elman, its director. He used to write “blues” tunes with W. C. Handy, and just can’t stop writing music whenever the opportunity of fers. There’s a chance that Olivia de HaviIand may get out of those fancy costumes at last.

Creamed soup should not be served at a meal when creamed vegetables or fish are served. A clove of garlic rubbed around the salad bowl will season the sal ad, but will not give it too strong a flavor. To determine when a. custard is done put a silver knife into the cen ter. If knife comes out clean cus tard is baked. A space should be left between walls of a mechanical refrigerator and dishes containing foods to al low free circulation of air. This pre serves the food. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY! CHOOLLesson B t HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. p . D. Dean of Tlie Moody Bible Instituteof Chicago*(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for January 14 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts Se* lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE PROBLEM OF FORGIVENESS LESSON TEXT-Mattbew 18:21-35.GOLDEN TEXT—And forgive as our debts, as we forgive our debtors.—Matthew 8:12. _ Christianity and forgiveness belong together. Among the religions of the earth Christianity stands out as the one true faith because it prop erly and adequately meets the prob lem of sin. In Christ is provided forgiveness for sin, cleansing from all unrighteousness, a new birth by which one enters into a life of holi ness and power. Since these things are true it would seem to be almost unneces sary to urge God’s children to be of a forgiving spirit. But as Bishop Ryle says, “It is a melancholy fact that there are few Christian duties so little practiced as that of for giveness. It is sad to see how much bitterness, unmercifulness, spite, harshness and unkindness there is among men.” Surely these things ought not so to be. I. The Extent of Forgiveness (w . 21, 22).“How long do I have to stand it?” is the question of the human heart untouched by the spirit of Christ. The injustices of life, the offenses of our fellow men against us, all seem to pile up until the- burden is about to crush us. What is the an swer to man’s cry? The Jews had an answer. Three times, is enough. Forgive once; yes. Again, yes. But the third time, ho. Peter was big-hearted enough to more than double that allowance pf mercy. He was willing to forgive not just two or three times, but sev en times. The point to be kept in mind, however, is that whether for giveness means three times or seven times, if there is a limit, it is a mat ter of reckoning, of keeping books, and of ultimately bringing down our judgment upon the heads of the of fenders. The spirit of Christ swept all of that aside. He said that one should forgive 70 times seven. In other words, Christian forgiveness is to be untiring, unlimited, to know no weariness and have no boundaries. If one really forgives it is because he has a forgiving spirit and that spirit is not exhausted by use, but rather grows by exercise. . A word of caution is in order at this point. Let no one suppose that our Lord’s instruction means that of fenses against the law of the land or against the good order of society are to be overlooked and condoned. It relates to the cultivation of a per sonal spirit of forgiveness, the lay ing aside of revenge, of malice, of retaliation which do not become the Christian. H. The Motive of Forgiveness (w. 23-34). Two-motives are given in our text, the first being that since we our selves are daily and hourly in need of forgiveness at the merciful hand of God, we should in turn be merci ful toward those who sin against us. Compared with our offenses against the law of God, we know that the misdeeds of our neighbors against us are mere trifles. Remember what God has done for you, and then when you are tempted to be hard and un gracious with your brother, remem ber the mercy of God. The second motive is the remem brance that a day of judgment is to come. There is always a time of reckoning ahead even as was the case with these servants. Remem ber not only what God has done for you and is doing for you, but what you must yet expect Him to do in that day of judgment. n r. The Importance of Forgive ness (V. 35). A man dealing with his fellow man is apt to think that it is merely a matter between man and man. We are not dealing with a straight line between ourselves and our brother (that was Peter’s error), but with a triangle at whose apex is God Him self. If I expect. God to forgive me, I must let that same forgiveness flow out to my brother. If I deal with him as though God had nothing to do, with the matter, then I must not try to count God’s forgiveness into the picture when I stand in debted before Him. Here .again we express a word of caution. Let no one suppose that our redemption in Christ is contingent upon what we do toward our brethren. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of your selves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8, 9). 'Nor does-the truth of our lesson mean' that we are somehow going to bargain with God, trading a bit of our forgiveness to ward others for His forgiveness of us. God is not interested in such transactions. But it does mean that if you cannot or will not forgive, you may well consider whether you are a Christian at all. Angry Words Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.—Proverbs 29,20.

Highwaypatrolmen weie instruc ed from Raleign to arrest all per. sons found driving automobiles with 1939 license plates—after midnight Dec. 31st. Motorists have become convinced that this is no idle threat, and therefore they will leave their flivver in the shed—most of them. There will be some six hundred thousand motor vehicle licensed in North Carolina this year, and ob. viously a large percentage of the owners of these vehicles have no preference for any particular month for their issuance. But it does make a considerable difference to a con siderable number of them, and not a few of these are definitely incon venienced by the ironclad require ment that their cars be adorned with these little tin plates at this particular time. For they are of that low ‘ income group that find it hard, mighty hard, to fork over the cost of a tag, without depriving somebody of the happiness they would like to bring at the Christmas season. We be lieve it would be safe that a bund, red thousand of such owners ex perience this inconvenience, and if all of them would make it their business to vote for a candidate for governor who would commit biself to the change to almost any other month than January- he’d be no minated and elected. It is reasonable to suppose, too that a large percent of that hund and will leave their cars in the gar age—some for a day and some for a mouth. And’ the total of that idle ness deprives the State of a sizeable slice of revenue, tens of thousands of dollars, that the State could use to advantage. In our improvidence there would be a loss anyhow, but not to that extent. But what’s the use of whining a- bout it. Raleigh’s reason for con tinuing the present tag date is a puny one, and legislators are too busy with other things to do any insisting. Start talk about it at election time, though, and you*d see them scampering about like ants on a hot brick. —Statesville Daily. Don’t Flirt With Danger Newspaper reports tell us ot ac. cidents and even deaths of people that might have oeeu averted if. people were more carful. Some people seem to think that there is no danger while taking bulls, yet deaths have been report ed recently which were caused by farmers not being careful while handling these animals. Several deaths have occurred be cause the drivers of autos have gone to sleep, or dosed off, while at the driving wheel. Not only are tbeir lives endangered but the lives of all the occupants of the car. More care should be used in the handling of farm machinery and farm equipment of all kinds. The toss of a finger or maybe a limb is serious, and more caution should be exercised while at work with ma. cbinery and farm tools. Tbe only reason we repeat this suggestion is because people con tinue to be careless and accidents continue to happen. We suggest with emphasis “always be careful. ’ ’ Republicans To Meet In March Charlotte, N.

MERCHANT • fe - The EYES of THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE ON YOURAD- / IjjgE IF IT HAD BEEN SSiieg IN THIS ISSUE Not Discouraged. You’ve got to hand it to Paul Leonard and his FairTaxers—they take their reverses in stride. Hav ing failed, finally and decisively, to gain recognition in the courts of the theory that the North Carolina gen eral sales tax was born without benefit of clergy; having gone all the way to the United States Su - preme Court with the plea that this levy is unconstitutional and advancing reasonable reasons why it should’! be allowed to stand, that would be enough to discourage any, one but a crusader. But Paul and his brethren take that deteat stand ing up. In perfect timing, Mr. Leonard on New Year’s dav, makes aopeal to “red-blooded retailers and other business men’’ to include in their New Year’s resolutions the pledge not to support any candidate for State office who does cot publicly promise to work for economy and dfficiency in government “and ab solute abolishment of tbe sales tax.’’ Paul would have been made it a sight easier for 001 h candidate and merchant, if he had ommittrd that word “ oublicly.’’ Easier because ambitious candidates are more ex- plicity in their private promises than those made when the public is listening. It ret tilers and other men take that pledge seriously, it is like they would not be bothering to go to tbe polls and vote. For we would be agreeably surprised if candidates for State office openly declare themselves as Mr. Leonard would have them do. Read after era and weep. Always there is un “ if,” a “ provided” and a “ when” tied to their agreement that tbe sales tax ought to be scrapped or even operated upon. Paul is not easily discouraged, else he would hesitate to watte postage in addressing the retail=:rt the interest . of tbis pledge. On election day and prior thereto, these folks are busy trying to make ends meet. Tfiere are few ot them, to begin with, and. politicians seeking favor would pooh pooh them as a bloc. They never herd or allow themselves to be herded, not eden when their own interests are threat ened—and sometimes we think, more's the pitv.—Statesville- Daily What Price Alcohol? Forsyth's inebriates totaling 204, who have been committed to state institutions during the past twelve years, have cost the county $13,362. There seems to be a significant connection between the legalizing of alcoholic beverage and tbe num ber of inebriates who have been committed to institutions. For a steady increase in these commit, ments has been noted since these beverage became legal in the state in 1932; In 1930 and 1931 there were eight commitments in each year, but in 1932 the total climbed to 13, then increased again sharply in 1934, when 24 commitments were made. This was three times as many as were made in any one year prior to 1932 But tbe past year had the largest total of all, with 38 commitments. It is appalling to consider what will be the result if this ratio of increase continues throughout the next ten years. Ifthejum p is from eight to thiity-eight in seven years, the county is due to pay a big bill in 1950, financially and in wrecked lives of its citizes.—Twin-City Sen tinel.

Clerks in men’s clothing stores these days don’t have to go Io church or contribute to tbe church budget to hold their jobs. They don’t have to go to work at 6 o’clock it the morning and bring ii coal and a bucket of water htfort breakfast. They don’t have <o work 14 hours, per day. And if they go to dance.--, smoke cigar- rettes and cigars they aTe v-ot nec essarily held in auspicion by their employers. But the basic rules employed by store owners about 80 years ago— which required the things mention, el here—are still good business, in the opinion cf many Winston Salem clothing store operators. Tbe whole thing came abont I y the publishing in tbe Daily Record, retail clothing store trade paper of New York, of a set of rules em. ployed by the original store of Car son Pirie and Scott Company, Chi- cago, So years ago. Read tbe “store rules” uncovered recently and “ ween no more” : Tbe rules: “Store must be swept; counters, base shelves and showcases dusted; lamps trimmed, filled, and chim neys cleaned, pens made; doors and windows opened; a pail of water, also a bucket of coal brought in be fore breakfast (if there is time to do so) and attend to customers who call. Store must not be opened on tbe Sabbath unless necessary, and then only for a few minutes. Tbeemployee w h o isin tb e ha bit of smoking Spanish cigars, be ing shaved at the barber’s, going to dances and other places of amuse ment, will surely give his employer reason to be suspicious of bis in. tegritv and honesty. “Each employee must pay not less than $5 a year to the church and must attend Sunday school re. gularly. “ Men employed are given one evening'a week for courting, and two if they go to praver meeting. “ After 14 hours.of work in tbe store, the leisure hours should be spent mostly in reading.” NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AT YOUR SERVICE IOJNLPYDU Little Stingers.

Sir Seymour, who had a similar job in the World war, is England’s favorite light comedy actor, a lead ing producer and actor-manager, a writer of consequence and a rallying point for both masses and classes, as they both claim him as their own. He is 78 years old and last month celebrated his fifty-second year on the stage. He started life as a call boy In a London theater. His next job was as an undertaker’s mute, a hired mourner, some times filling in as an emergency pall-bearer and the like. He wore black well and did nicely in his new career, until his memories of the theater obtrud ed at an unfortunate moment. He was walking solemnly be hind a hearse, when a distant band struck up a tune, which carried him back-stage again. He swung open the door of the hearse and called out, “The overture begins now, sir.” That Shunted him right back to ; the -theater, which, by all accounts, he never should have left. He has written and produced 64 plays and is 'Ihe author of eight books of remi niscence, comment and criticism. He was knighted in 1935, and May- . fair made a tremendous fuss over Mm, 7 with similar cheers from the e-populace-.:- In the World war he or ganized concerts and shows for the , soldiers and kept up a driim-fire of spirited'humor which rated him as the leading empire morale-builder. •--- D INING with Henry F.

Mr. Grady, 57-year-old Celtic and incurably optimistic specialist in foreign trade, is assist ant secretary of state and has taken over the job of expound ing and putting forward the agreements. The law authoriz ing the plan will expire June 12, and the continuation of this trade policy will be an early and exciting kick-off in congress. Mr. Grady, a San-Franciscan, ed ucated at St. Mary’s university, Bal timore, is a man of encyclopedic learning in trade matters, a lec turer at many universities, the au thor of many books and treatises and a member of many learned so cieties, He; boils down a mountain of data and statistics to his vehe ment insistence that, no matter how we may tinker with tariffs and quo tas, the only helpful reality is the flux of good through the internation al bloodstream. Finns H am m ered W edge B etw een Stalin, Zhdanoff THE Russian Baltic drive, side tracked by the Finns, was, ac cording to the meager evidence ob tainable, the pet idea of Andrei Zhdanoff, fre- quently re ferred to in the last two years as Sta lin’s possible successor. Later news is that Stalin has other ideas about M. Zhdanoff’s future, as the latter takes the rap for the debacle in Finland. He was designated secretary of the Leningrad Communist party committee on December 16, 1934. That made him a vir tual dictator of the Leningrad district, the Pittsburgh of Rus sia. M. Zhdanoff has been par ticularly bitter against Britain, and several correspondents have attributed to him the disruption of last summer’s negotiations of the allied powers with the So viets. He is 43 years old, a Revolutionist since 1912, when he left school to engage in agitation against the czar- • ist government. Until 1917, he was chiefly occupied dodging the police and joined the army as a germ- carrier for the Bolsheviks. In the early revolutionary, years, he was one of the leading, organizers of party propaganda and was thrown into close association with Josef Stalin. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, which, quite possibly, the skiing Finns have dy namited. He is of a middle class family, one of the cleverest word smiths of Red Russia.<CouoUdated Feature*—WNV ServtceJ Pocket Submarine May Be Powerful Jap Sea Threat I-WtKfflr .

Dispatches say the boats are being turned out in mass production at a cost of $5,500 each. The craft, depicted here by an artist, measures 18 feet overall. The average modem submarine is 30 feet in length. Its displacement is 100 tons, compared to the usual 2,500 tons. It is reported that the new boat can submerge to an almost unbelievable depth of 1,800 feet. It carries only one torpedo. But one torpedo has a potential nuisance value of millions of dollars. To Assist President in World Peace Problems I Hopes for world peace on the part of President Roosevelt have resulted in two recent far-reaching moves. First was tbe President’s appointment of Myron C. Taylor, left, former head of United States Steel, as this country’s representative to .the Vatican to work with Pope Pius for peace. Second was his invitation to religious leaders to confer with him. Invitations went to Rabbi Cyrus Adler, center, president of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and to Dr. George A. Buttrick, right, president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. Archbishop Spellman of New York City was expected to be named as representa tive of Catbolics in the peace conference.

It com es from F rance, from a group of French children who are living in her chateau in the country, secluded from the danger of Paris’ air raids and gas attacks. The children take time from their studies and games to MADELEINE CARROLL write to Miss Carroll, who reads their letters as she rests between scenes of “My Son, My Son!” The famous Brighton Belle pulled out of Hollywood the other day for scenes in that same picture. The station, however, was a replica of the famous Victoria station, the train was a replica of the Brighton Belle, which covers the 62 miles be tween London and Brighton in 40 minutes, and the men who filled it were extras, not British Tommies. But to many who watched, the atmosphere was the same as it would have been in the original set ting. Producer’ Edward Small could not shoot the scene in London be cause of the present war, but in por traying a scene that dates back to the last one he brought to Califor nia, for a moment, all the- feeling that fills the railway stations of Europe in these times, as trains filled with soldiers leave for the front. A case of appendicitis was respon sible for the March of Time’s ex clusive film of the island of Guam. Victor Jurgens, the 26-year-old cam era man who last year filmed the March of Time’s memorable motion picture story on Japan, was stricken with appendicitis while on his way to Guam; he was operated on at sea by navy surgeons, recuperated at Guam, and spent his time filming all aspects of civil and military life on the important little island. It is part of the new release, “Crisis in the Pacific,” and is one of the best films the M. of T. has given us. — * — “Four Wives” proves that it’s pos sible for a sequel to live up to tbe reputation established by a popular film. People liked “Four Daughters” so much that it seemed unlikely that the picture carrying the story along could be anything but a disappointment. “Four Wives” is so well done that it will make new friends for the family it portrays so engagingly. Kay Francis will appear in “It’s a Date” as Deanna Durbin’s mother —a very glamorous mother, an actress. Norma Shearier may have a mother role, too, in the film ver sion of the popular novel, “Escape.” But since the mother in "Escape”— who is also a famous actress, by the way—is middle aged and has a grown son, it seems likely that the story will be rewritten for Miss Shearer’s benefit. By a strange coincidence, Patsy Montana, “cowgirl sweetheart” of radio station WLS, Chicago, goes on the air every morning at exactly the same time as her brother does at station KSOO in Sioux Falls, S. D. It’s rather hard on their proud mother—not only do they broadcast at the same hour, but it’s 6:15 a. m. — *— Dave Elman will never have a seal on his “Hobby Lobby” program again if he can help it. The one he had recently cost him about $35. It had to be fed pieces of fish, fre quently. The supply of fish, which had seemed ample, disappeared in no time, and Elman had to keep sending out to restaurants near the Columbia playhouse for more. The restaurants in that part of New York are far from cheap; the fact that the fish was for a seal instead of a human being didn’t affect the price. So, if your hobby has any thing to do with seals, don’t try1 to land on the Elman program; at least, not until he has forgotten how expensive fish can be.

QUICK-FROZEN FOODS A WISE CHOICE (See Kecipes Below) ‘Sing a Song of Seasons' In the not too-distant past, we sang a song of seasons in food— oysters in the “R” months; fresh vegetables in spring and summer; juicy berries in June, July, and Au gust; and tender turkeys in the fall.- But the newest method of preserv ing foods — quick-freezing —means 4,open season” on most foods at any time of year—fresh berries in Jan uary, oysters in June, and choice chicken or turkey whenever you choose! Quick-frozen foods are harvested at the height of the season, when flavor and quality are at their best; freezing is done so close to the place where the food is harvested, caught, or killed, and the cleaning, cutting or slicing are done so rapidly, that there is no chance for the food to lose its flavor and freshness. Quick-frozen foods are a good tip for the homemaker who values her leisure and her manicures! All the grubby preparation tasks are done before the freezing, so kitchen duty is practically cut in half! That means that frosted or quick-frozen foods are a wise choice when you’re entertaining. By the way, you can use them for most of the recipes in my booklet, “Easy Entertaining.” With quick-frozen foods to cut down the work and “Easy Entertaining” to give you menus and recipes that are practical and different, compa ny meals are a simple matter!

'IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDOUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for January 21 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se* lected and copyrighted by International Council of Rebgious Education; used by permission. A NEW STANDARD OF GREATNESS LESSON TEXT—Matthew 20:17-28. GOLDEN TEXT—While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.—Romans 5:8. The nations of the earth and their leaders are engaged in a struggle to determine which land and which leader is to be the greatest. They may attempt to conceal their real motive under a cloak of high-mind ed and well-sounding objectives, but essentially the reason for their struggle is the desire to be great. To them greatness means size, strength, wealth, and position. It means that also to the average man on the street. What a pity it is that such is the case and that such a vicious and erroneous philosophy of life has been permitted to make its way even into the Church. The world’s ideas of greatness are entirely opposite to God’s standards. God’s people ought to learn what His ideals of life are and to live in accordance with them even in an unbelieving world. Both they and the world would be astonished at the result. I. Dying for Others (w . 17-19). With surprising clarity and de tail the Lord Jesus once more re vealed to His disciples that He was on His way to Jerusalem to die and to arise again. It is well worth while to note that apart from divine foreknowledge and inspiration it would have been utterly impossible for Him to give these facts in such exact detail. The point we wish to stress is that the Son of God was steadfastly approaching the death of Calvary. He had no desire to live for self, to gratify His own wishes, to prolong His life, or to improve His position in the world. He had come to do but one thing, the will of God, even to the shameful death of the cross, there to bear your sins and mine. Let us give ourselves in loyal de votion to our dying and risen Lord. II. Living for Self (w . 20-24). Were it not written for us to read, we could hardly believe that the two disciples, James and John, who were so very near to our Lord, and their mother, who was a woman of earnest faith and sacrificial service to God, would be guilty of such an expression of selfishness, especially in that sacred hour when He had spoken of His approaching death. Disregarding what Jesus had said about His sufferings, they apparent ly could think only of His coming glory, and in thinking of that they could only covet for themselves the chief places. What a strange mix ture of faith in Christ and an over whelming desire for self-glory! Perchance some of us have served Christ with a selfish desire for per sonal glory and position putting it self forward to influence our think ing and acting. Perhaps we do not see it in ourselves, but are like the other disciples who, seeing this hate ful thing in John and James, were repelled by it, even as we despise it in others. It may be that the dis ciples were only angry because they had not thought to make the request for themselves. In. Finding True Greatness (w . 25-28). “Rulers,” “greatness,” “exercise authority” — how modem these words from verse 25 sound! They epitomize the ambitions of the great majority of mankind today. Few indeed are those in the world who see the way to true greatness as that of the lowly Jesus. In every in stance where they do rightly ap prehend and live out this truth, one is satisfied that somewhere in their experience they have come to know His principles of life even though they do not know Him. Only in Him is such an attitude toward life to be found. To be great one is to serve in the spirit of humility and self-sacrifice. This is the command of Christ Even in the Church there are not too many who have heeded that word. H there were more of this spirit we woud have less church quarrels, for essentially they root back to the desire for greatness. We may not admit that fact, but it is none the less true. One wonders how great some of the pillars of the Church would look measured against the standard of verses 26 to 28. One wonders too how many of the humble workers of the Church realize their true great ness. Such greatness of heart is great simply because it does not so regard itself. For Thy Name’s Sake But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake; because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.—Psalm 109, 21:22. Jesns Asks Evidence That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, but they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.—Jobn 17. 21. Revival of Brocade Tunes to Vogue for Fabric Elegance By CHEBlE NICHOLAS W HEN in a dress-up mood, what to wear is the question. The revival of brocade among fabrics of high fashion, as announced for spring, may well be regarded as a perfectly good answer to the query.The big news is the neat-patterned brocades in necktie silk effects that make up into most wearable day time frocks that are dressy at the same time that they are eminently practical. If you are looking for a daytime frock that will guarantee style distinction take note of the three swank afternoon types here illustrated. The material used for this trio of- exceptionally smart fashions Is the new-this-season brocade of damask- woven bemberg rayon. You can get it in monotone or two-color effects, its high and low luster fila ments producing a handsome bro cade patterning. If you are your own seamstress, buy a few yards of this attractive brocade, provide yourself with a reliable pattern and turn on power for your electric sew ing machine. However, if you are not enamored with the thought of being your own dressmaker you will find modes similar to the ones pic tured easily available in shops and dress sections throughout style cen ters. Looking at the illustration you sense at a glance that the new bro cades yield perfectly to high-styling. Per example the gown to the right says it with “style” definitely. This peplum dress is figure-fitting and flattering. The brocade that fash ions it is in a violet-leaf motif damask-woven patterning. A self fabric bow at the belt and the high neck closing is the only ornamen tation, for material / such as this handsome brocade exemplifies the' thought that “beauty unadorned is adorned the most.” Centered in the picture is one of the season’s best-loved fashions— the princess silhouette that is art fully fitted at the waistline with; the skirt that is gently flared. A flower-patterned damask of bem berg rayon is used for this model. To the left a figure-molding after noon dress in a richly brocaded bal let dancing patterning holds forth In the illustration. The high-necked bodice is enhanced with a large old- fashioned brooch. Designers are making varied uses of brocade. Milliners welcome this new damask-woven material as per fect for the very stylish draped turbans for which everybody is call ing. These bright colorful bits of headwear are charming with winter furs. Add a handbag of the same bro cade and the ensemble will prove a delight to the eye. One even sees shoes made of brocade, like wise scarfs and belts. The jacket suit made of the neat necktie-patterned brocade will be featured later on in the spring, its charm accented with the pretti-' ness of a blouse of the daintiest lace-trimmed lingerie type.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) New-Length Sleeve Sleeve lengths grow capricious. The type most called for and one new in the field today is the bracelet- length sleeve. The dress pictured is so sleeved. Another feature in current styling is that dresses are subtly designed to achieve “lines” that take inches off the strategic points so as to slim the figure ac cording to fashion’s way of think ing. Details that accomplish this feat In the gown pictured are wide shoulders so as to make the waist line look smaller in comparison, darts above the waistline to accent the new “nipped in” look, and smoothness around the hips. Sou tache scrolls trim this frock which is fashioned of moss-green sheer wool. Pastel Lame Torbans For a glowing accompaniment to a dark dinner suit, oriental turbans of draped pastel lame are a, new suggestion. Red Shoes Novel Touch at Resorts If you would keep tab on coming events that “cast their shadows be fore,” watch the style parade that is traveling the highways and beaches in southern sun-bright re-, sorts. One thing your amazed eyes will see is red shoes. They are be ing worn with all types of costumes. Worn with slacks they add a most zestful novelty touch. Look too clev er for words with simple little ging ham dresses, in fact with any type of casual daytime frocks, also good- looking with white afternoon dresses and tailleurs. Now comes the sequence of this fashion story. As everybody knows, what’s worn at the southern resorts in midwinter sets precedent for spring and summer fashions to come. Wherefore, the message that red shoes will be worn with tailored beige or navy street costumes has already winged its way northward. So if you crave fashion thrills, buy a pair of red shoes. Fruit Motifs of Pasted Feathers For a gay splotch of color on your hat ask your milliner to show you the new fruit trims, done In pasted feathers. Plums, apples, pears, bananas, and so on are down tiie list. These motifs, in realistic colors, are to be appliqued on crown or brim or where you will on your hat Buy an extra one to attach to the lapel of your coat Qoth Joined Up With Surah Print Considerable emphasis is given in the advance costume displays to en sembles that are made of doth com bined with surah print, the latter used for, perhaps, the blouse, to line the coat and to serve as color accent on pocket, neckline' and sleeve finishings. Glove Note Even short gloves this season may be fastened with elaborate buttons. Screen Player IHrginia Vale has a pair made of black suede, buttoned with tiny gold filigree beads. G arm ent Bags M ade From O dds and Ends By RUTH WYETH SPEARS UTAEAE MRS. SPEARS: I thought you might be inter ested in how I made garment bags for each member of my family, almost entirely from things I had on hand.

Constipation Relief That Also Pepsin-izes Stomach When constipation brings on acid indigestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your etomach is probably loaded up with certain undigested food and your bowelsdon't move. So you need both Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So bo sure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldweirs Laxative, because its Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that wonderful stomach«relief, while the Laxadvo Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of undigested protein food which may linger in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin* king your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. At the same time this medicine wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your bowels to relieve your constipation. So see how much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomadi discomfort, too. Even finicky children love to taste this pleasant family laxative.

Oh, you must have a drink! Come on, be a sport, just one now! Pick you up no end.” Adele leaned forward, gazed in tently, deliriously, into his eyes and then gave the lovely blonde head a very decided, very becoming little shake. “Oh, no,” she said purring* Iy. “No indeed, thanks. I wouldn’t dare! I’m—having entirely too much stimulant as it is.” And the blue eyes clung to his. Len Hardesty set the glass on a small table with a resounding plunk. He turned to Olympia. “OUie, I apologize,” he said. “I didn’t think you had it in you.” “Oh, I just gave her a rough gen eral outline," said Olympia. “I must admit that she added a good deal of embellishment. Take your drink, lien. You’re going to need it. I may as well show you the rest . . . Hilda, ask the young ladies to come in and squelch this worm.” Len drained the glass. “I’ll have another, thanks.” He poured fotr himself, slowly. “When I think that I’m going to spend the next eight months pitting my brats against your beauty—” “Oh, come now, Len, I’m. not as good-looking as all that,” said Aunt Olympia. “OUie, I didn’t even see you. I never expect to see you again. Fm not sure I’ll ever see anything but— the automaton there. There seems to be a sort of bright light—an aura, you might say—around that pit we mentioned—” Hilda coughed faintly in the door way. “She thinks she’s the Senator,” said Ofympia in a large whisper. “Miss Helen is waiting for a long distance telephone from Iowa—” “Long distance! From Iowa?” ejaculated Aunt Olympia. “Why, who’s there to talk to in Iowa, with Congress in session?” “It might be something about a school,” said Adele, swiftly. “Or—you don’t suppose she could have forgotten to—pay that grocery bill?” said Aunt Olympia. “From what I saw of that delivery boy, he’s just the type to buy a new necktie and put on his gloves and follow a bill clear to Washington.” Hilda coughed again. “And Miss Limpy is having a conference.” “Having a conference? Miss Lim py? What are you talking about? Is the Senator home?” “No, ma’am. It’s with a—a policeman.

Out the window and hit the policeman on the head, and he’s having a conference about it.” “Well, don't let him in here,” said Aunt Olympia decidedly. “We’ve worms enough in here. Miss Limpy can handle him herself. Tell her to come in when he goes.” Len Hardesty shook an accusing finger at Aunt Olympia. “You staged this,. OUie. You staged this whole scene. You knew I was com ing. You’ve been listening at key holes and pursuing me with detec tives and. you knew I was headed here and you staged this. Hitting a policeman on the dome with a trig onometry! So that’s the kind of campaign we’re up against, eh?” “No,” ' said Aunt Olympia honest ly. “I’m sorry, but I can’t hog the credit. It never entered my head. It’s good, Len. I admit it’s good. But Limpy thought it up herself.” Len groaned. “But just to cheer you up, Len, I will admit that Adele is far the best- looking. The others- are all right— in some ways even better. I don’t believe Adele would ever have thought of bashing a policeman with a trigonometry. But she gdt most of the looks.” “You’re telling me that?” he de manded bitterly. ‘Tm no fool. I know there’s a limit on that sort of thing . . . But if that kid thought of attacking a policeman—out of her own head—she’s dangerous. They’re all dangerous. You’re dangerous.” “Oh, we just try to hold our own,” said Aunt Olympia seraphically. Limpy bobbed brightly in at that point. She looked slight and small In comparison with Adele’s tallness and Olympia’s general largeness. She began to speak almost before she was visible. But Len Hardesty, a good' reporter,' did not overlook that even before she spok*, the fleet- ingest, most trusting of glances flashed between the two girls—ques tion and answer in one. “Oh, Aunt Olympia," began Limpy, “what’s a logarithm?” Aunt Olympia drew herself up and blinked uncertainly. Adele spoke quickly. “If you find out, darling, I wish you’d tell me. I studied them for a year and got a C plus, but nobody ever thought to tell me what they really are.” “What in the world are you talk ing about?”* demanded Aunt Olym pia. “Logarithms,” said Limpy. “Log arithms. I can spell them but I can't imagine what they are.” “Ask him,” said Olympia neatly. "He’s a newspaperman. He knows everything. Just ask him what is a logarithm?" Limpy turned hopefully to Len Hardesty. “Logarithm!” he said resentfully. "What do you mean, logarithm? 'Ym sorry, but I can’t hog 1 the credit.” That was no logarithm! That was a plain American policeman you bashed on the dome.” “Yes, how about that policeman, Limpy?” asked Aunt Olympia, sud denly remembering the issue. “Oh, that! That was the merest accident . . . Unless,” Limpy frowned, and pursed up her Ups, “unless, there was something sin ister beneath it! I confess, I was a Uttle suspicious, for why should he be prowling about under Unde Lan- cy’s windows in election year? I asked if he was a special poUce man or anything—I didn’t want to come right out and ask if he had been hired by the Opposition. But he said no, he was just regular.—It was too bad, wasn’t it?” “How did it happen, Limpy?” asked Adele helpfully, now that the first explosive moment had been safely bridged. “Oh, I was a bit confused about those logarithms—I don’t care for them at all, Auntie, and if you don’t mind I’d reaUy rather study some thing else, like French drama or modem novels. I looked out at the trees—and aU of a sudden it came to me in a sort of flash that there was a kind of a connection there— sort of a relativity—trees and loga rithms—or logs, for short. They seemed to go together. And first thing I knew the book was flying right out the window among the trees and I do think it was very suspicious that a poUceman should be lurking down there. They went together—trees, and logs-for-short— but the poUceman just doesn’t fit in.” “Unless he was a blockhead to begin with,” said Adele. “And perhaps he had a chip on his shoulder,” added Len Hardesty. “Well, he seemed to have when he first came in. But he went away very good-naturedly. I gave him five dollars — out of your pocketbook, Adele; I’m low this week. And he left his regards for the Senator. I didn’t do it as a bribe, of course, but I didn’t want to—embarrass dear Uncle Lancy in election year.” “It’s the Senator,” broke in HUda moodily. Olympia headed for the haU tele phone on a nervous trot. That dour “It’s the Senator” always took her on the run, in a tremor for some pet -biU. Limpy occupied herself cheerfully with the cakes and nuts on the tray. Len Hardesty got up suddenly and went over and stood beside Adele, now seated in a big chair with the blue curtains for flattering back ground. She looked up with a slight smile and .took a sip of her lemon ade. She looked up again. This time, the smUe melted away on her Ups and suddenly they were look ing into each other’s eyes, deeply, very soberly. - Len shook his head with sudden impatience. Something must be said.“Do you like Washington?” he asked gravely, though the trite que ry struck him as a good deal of an anticlimax, after meeting her eyes. “I do today,” she said. “Does the old girl give you aU your lines?” he asked moodily. “Not that one. That was origi nal.”“That’s something . . . Did you mean it?” “Yes,” she said, with honest brev ity."WeU, it’s a good thing. To tell the truth, you’re going to be seeing a good deal of me from this on—” “Oh, no, we're not,” interrupted Olympia, bounding back. “The only way we’re going to be seeing any thing of you is at the other end of a good sharp stiletto. If there’s , any tampering with my campaign ma terial rn report it to some commit tee on something.” . “I can’t stay for dinner tonight,” he said, “though it’s nice of you to ask me. I have another engage ment. I can come back about nine though, since 5'ou insist, and—talk things over with Sloppy and sort of check up on the campaign. And how about my dropping in for lunch eon around one-thirty tomorrow? I can take the whole afternoon off—if I don’t get caught—and give the girls a good sales talk/’ “We’re going to be out! We’re go ing to be out from right now tin the election,” said Aunt Olympia rudely. “See you tonight about nine. Thanks, OUie. Sweet of you to ask me . . . Uncle Lancy! My word!” “We’re virtuaUy out now,” said Aunt Olympia. “What do you think, Limpy?” said Adele suddenly. “Are they arriving at an armistice, or is this a IuU be fore they tear each other limb from limb?” “I’m expecting blows at any min ute,” said Limpy. “That’s what I’m waiting for. Otherwise I’d be right back with my logarithms.” “Blows! Blows between Ollie and me?” He sat on the arm of her chair and put his arm around her. “Why, OlUe and I are mad about each other. It’s my one regret that Slop py saw her first. Why, I’d Ue down in the dirt and let her walk right over me—though I’d be a good deal flattened in the process. And she’d do the same for me, too!” “Sure I would,” said Aunt Olym pia, with a beaming smile. She pat ted his hand affectionately. "You snake-in-the-grass! ” CHAPTER IV Never in her lil'e had Aunt Olym pia experienced such satisfying hap piness. The girls, with their gentle youth, made a perfect foU for her rugged ruddiness, her biting hu mor. Their appreciative laughter spurred her to gusty heights never before attained. She had not real ized how large a part the audience plays in the success of theatrical endeavor. She could hardly let them out of her sight long enough to get their proper sleep and begrudged Limpy every minute spent on “those lousy logarithms.” So the girls were a Uttle discon certed one day when she went about the apartment' wrapped in a brood ing air of detachment, fuU Ups com pressed, left eyelid ominously low ered; seeming not to hear their Ught talk, and, stiU more surpris ingly, adding no enlivening embel lishments of her own. They watched her uneasily. “Are you sick, Aunt Olympia?” Helen finaUy asked. “No,” she said abruptly. ‘Tm working my subconscious.”The girls smiled faintly. “Don’t overtax it,” said Adele. “I understand it’s rather deUcate.” “And be careful it doesn’t turn and begin working you,” ' added Limpy.Aimt Olympia did not hear them. That night she addressed the Sen ator mildly.“Del, I want to ask your advice." The Senator coughed depreciating ly and his glance at the girls, was apologetic. “What do you think we ought to do about these girls?” she demand ed.That shocked the Senator into im mediate coherence.. “Do about them!” he ejaculated. “Do nothing about them) Leave them alonel They’re doing aU right for them selves.”“Referring to their social life,” Olympia continued. “Shoiild we bring them out or keep them in se clusion?" The Senator wiped his glasses. Then he smiled. “My dear, Uving up to my established reputation as a philanthropic and public-spirited _ American, I say, bring them out/ Give the world a treat! The WiWlS needs a. treat and I amriot MCTwho believes that the blessed showd be niggardly with their treasures*.” Olympia frowned. “Thinking of the campaign,” she said significant ly. “Which would have more telling effect on the campaign: to let UiemI go out, decorously of course, most decorously, or keep them in modest retirement until we go home? If I know our constituents, and I think I do, it would flatter them no end to get the idea that while we were obUged to safeguard and shelter these children from the insidious snares of Washington, we realize that in our home—among our friends —our constituents—they are safe.” The Senator considered this, frowningly. He had not yet worked up any campaign spirit himself, with Congress in no mood for ad journment. His troubled eyes cir cled the attentive subject of the dis cussion and the sight led him to in stant conclusion. “No use to punish the girls for the sake of a few votes, in my opin ion. Let them do as they please.” Olympia never paid any attention to what he said. “We could go right ahead—building them up—whetting pubUc interest—putting out just the right photos—and stiU bold them aloof. It would delight the voters; and why not? It is a definite com pliment. But I don’t want to bore the girls.” “Aunt Olympia,” Helen broke in gently, “if you don’t mind, I’d real ly like to go around as much as I can. I do not mean to gay, social things. I do not want to seem dis respectful or lacking in feeling, but since I shall be with you only this one season, I feel I ought to learn as much as I can, get as much ex perience as possible. I’d like to learn how things run, how Congress works, aU the things that go to make Washington the heart of the nation.1’ Aunt Olympia agreed with her heartily. She invariably agreed with the girls, even if she flatly flouted her agreement in the next breath. She was determined to be on good terms with them at aU cost and she felt that an initial agreement took the edge off what foUowed. “Perfectly right, my dear, per fectly sound. So you should. Wash ington is an education, a higher— and, in some ways, a lower—educa tion. It is your civic duty to learn aU you can. The life here wiU be valuable experience for you in the future whether you teach school—or go into politics—or merely sell— say, groceries.” A swift glance flickered among the girls. “I don’t see that poUtics enters into selling groceries,” said Uncle Lancy. “Unless you refer to putting the bad fruit at the bottom of the basket.” Aunt Olympia gave him a straight, hard look. Already the girls knew that look. They called it her shut-upping look. “Aunt Olym pia gave me her shut-upping look, and I never opened my mouth,” they would say to one another. Un cle Lancy had no name for it but he understood it. “A thorough education," he re marked safely, dropping groceries. “You can come about with me, Hel en. You can sit in my committee meetings. Some of them are mere ly good antidotes for insomnia, but, on the other hand, some ol them are very interesting. The munitions committee got into a fight every time it met. You’d have enjoyed that, but unfortunately it wound up its work and quit.” “After all,” went on Aunt Olym pia musingly, “it does impress homey hicks to know that one has been received in Washington. But we’U be careful. We’U discriminate. “Sure, that’s the idea,” corrobo rated the Senator. “Discriminate. Take them only to things that are good fun—and hold them in seclu sion from the bores.” “I’U start off with a luncheon, ex clusive, very smaU. Then a large tea—not too large . . . It’s too bad about Len Hardesty; he’s a lot of help at that sort of thing . . . Yes, Helen, you’re right. We’U bring you and Adtle out—in a decorous way —and seclude Limpy.” “Aw, Uncle Lancy!” wailed Lim- py-The Senator rose to her appeal. “Stuff and nonsense,” he said. “What’s the matter with Limpy? Limpy can take care of herself. Let her have a good time.” “Del, you silly dunce, that child—” “Seventeen, Auntie darling!” Lim py reminded her. “And seventeen is very, very close to eighteen." “Sixteen,” corrected Adele deter minedly.“Plus. Large plus, smaU mi nus.” “Let ’em have as much fun as they can, that’s my idea,” said Un cle Lancy loyaUy. "I don’t want to have fun," dis claimed Helen promptly. “I just, want to learn as much as I can; about poUtics and government, par ticularly; from the ground up. I don’t want gay society—"“You want official things,” said Aunt Olympia. “Yes, you’re right. Well, we have a stack of invitations. We’U go through them tomorrow and you can pick out what you like. And ru plan the luncheon.” She frowned thoughtfully for a while, left eye invisible. “You know, Del,” she said suddenly, “I’m not at a ll sure but Adele could do a sight worse.” The Senator did not pause to cough. “Do worse!” he ejaculated: “I should say she could do worse.I don’t see how she could very well da ^fiiy better myself. She’s just jibout perfect, in my opinion. They raU are. In fact, they are perfect.” Adele laughed. “It has a faint resemblance to a compliment, Aunt ie,” she said. “But it’s a bit too - foggy for my clouded intelligence. Do worse than what?” "Than Len Hardesty. He’s smart. He’s got what an election taWes.

Being 73 years old and a close observer from early childhood, from Shenandoah to tbe-Smokies I have reason to know something of the great disaster caused by liquor. When quite young, government distilleries was set up all over this country. 'I noticed that whiskey was being sold from these distilleries at one dollar per gal'on and at the same time the government was sup. pased to collect one dollar and ten cent tax from each and every gal Ion. -Now how did they do this? It was very plain when I saw some reports submitted by these distilliers to the Revenue Department at Washington. I saw that each and every oper atcr of these plants had to give a false, report as to the amount of ma terial furnished, the storekeeper had to swear a lie at the end of each week, the gauger had to swear a lie every time he he made his re port, the rectifier bad to swear a lie every time be made his report, the distiller had to swear a lie every time he made his report. I saw then, while a little boy, that they were all stealing from the Government of the United State?. I saw then that from the time the liquor run from the poisonous still worm until it emptied into the bel ly of bell it defiled all that touched it. It defiled the man who made it; it defiled the inan who drank it and ruined his family. Up to this good day it places the cocked gun in the hands of the murderer; it fills our courts with criminals; our jails and penitentiaries with crimi nals who otherwise would be good citizens; it fills our asylums with inebriates; it rushes our young men to the drunkard's grave. The saloon is a liar. It promises happiness and gives you poverty. It is God’s worst enemy and the devil's best friend. It spares neilb- er youth or old age. It cocks the high ay man’s pistol, puts the rope in the hands of the mob; and it is> the anarchist of the world. It's dirty red flag is dyed with the blood of women and children. Every plot that ever hatched against the Government of tne United States was born and bred by men full of liquor and crawled out of grog shop to damn this country.—Geo. E.

Drop. y O ux-mV TRADE Etxm Y0UR OWN HORN In The Adverlinng Columns OF THIS NEWSPAPER The Village of Advance John W. Cannon, in Greensboro News. Advance—Did you ever hear' of a mayor without a headache? It it isn't a project, it is a bond issue, Or if it isn't a bond issue, its an election. Someaow it seems that worries just naturally go along with the direction of municipal affairs.' That is why we were so intrigued by the executive head of this little Davie county town, W. A. Hen drix, who. not only does not have headaches but hadn't bad a meet ing of bis bvard of .aldermen in 35 years. In fact, the truth’ being known, he couldn’t call one. The only living member of the town board, Dr. Thds. T. Watkin®, has moved out of the jurisdiction of the corporation. The other two tfiem. bers, A. C. Cornalzer and * B. R. Bailey, who took office in 1905, are dead. H ow doI know we’ve got a town?” said the mayor repeating a question of the -reporter. “ We’ll go right up to Henry Smithdeal's and I’ll show you." To get you straight Henry Smith, deal was the firtt elected .mayor of Advance, is one of the fathers of the town who not only helped name the place but who was one of its first merchants and later proprietcr of one of its industries, a tobacco manufactory. He Is now 86 years old and has retired from the active commercial field, but still maintains a keen interest in town affairs. He came to Advance when Lexington was the nearest railroad station and the settlement was without a post- office. Calvin Rich, a merchant ,w as in. strumental in getting - the . United States government to . approve a postoffice here but was hard put to it to find a name. He sent several to Washington but.it' seemed that nearly every title.be\could think of bad already been ' appropriated by somebody else. “ I'll tell you what I am going to do, Henry,’’ Mr. Smithdeal says be remembers Mr. Rich telling him; “our town is bound to advance and I'm going to send them the - name ot ‘Advance.’ The name was ac cepted and the postoffice, established For a time it seemed that Mr. Rich’s augury was well founded. The whisky. distillers, of whom there were many well known' ones in this community, selected Ad yance for a center and until they all moved ta Salisbury after the state passed a law requiring that they, only operate in towns of more than '1,000 population, business bummed. The distillers shipped their brands far and wide as well as having a,lot of local trade which also meant more business for the merchants in the town. For three years Mr. Smithdeal, like many another southern busi. ness man, peddled plug tobacco through the'state and finally got into the manufacturing business bimself. - He still has at his home here the molds which were used on two of. his brands, “ Little’ Duck, ’ ’ and “Pride of Winston.” “But whv,” 'the reporter asked the veteran business main, “did you name a brand of tobacco . after a largertown' when you 'might, as well have named itio r the beauti ful name of your own tow n,. ‘Ad vance’?” - “ Weil,” he replied, '‘you know bow folks are about larger places. They like to think they get .things from there. We thought it might help our sales.” This was not the Ijrst time, of course,{thstt psycholp gy badbeen used to stiff-ara sales resisfience^ *-•*?.. Be that as-it may; commercial.-progress in ^d vancehasnotbeen.as^m ark^din the past few years 'as the' town name suggests. While other mu. cade,. Advance has been . maintain ing more or less of a status quo. It is true it bas several thriving stores and a school which-is. the pride of Davie county. But theie are a num ber of vacant business buildings and trade has not piled, up like it has in other places. ' In fact, as Mayor Hendrix con fided to “Unde Henry,” the name which the town affectionately gives to its longest timer citizen, Mr. Smithdeal, Revenue Commissioner A. J. Maxwell hasw ritten several Iong letttrs here asking about the collection of certain business taxes which are prevalent In other cities of the state only to be advised by the'Advance mayor just to “forget them.” The mayor hasn’t had a town tax collected in so long tbat be is sure such would be unwel come under present conditions. “ Hen: v, where is that charter? This man wants to be' sure we’-tfe got a town” , the tnavor said, torn ing to Mr. Smithdeal. Whether you l;now it c r not this request had a.historic backgronnd. Some .35 years ago after the incum bent, who is a Republican, look his office some members of his board advised him to request the charter from the previous Democratic ad ministration which was beaded Ly Mr. Smithdeal. “ Nothing doing,” Mayor Hen drix says he told his board. “Hen ry Smitbdeal may be a Democrat but he is tny friend, all wool ‘ and a yard wide. The charter is just as sale with him as it is with me. I will net ask him for it.” It so happened that soon after the -Hen. drix administration took office all of tbe whisky distilleries were fore ed to move out of the incorpora tion. Later the state prohibition law was enforced and the town nev er got around to neediug its char ter or the necessity- of otherwise proving its existence. Thus Hen ry Smithdeal has unofficially - and as a Democrat guarded the tawn’s bill of. rights for a Republican ad ministration ever since. Until the mayor asked to see it nobody had cared anything about or seen the document. At the request of the mayor, Aenry Smithdeal fished around in a bureau drawer until he found the old charter. It was Writ ten in long hand and bore the date of March 6, 1893, and recited that the “ general assembly of North Caralitia Do Enact “among other things that the town boundaries of'Advance shall rnn from John B. Sbutt’s dwelling to Smithdeal’s saw mill to Piney Grove colored church and so on; that A. C. Wood shall serve.as mayor until the first election ?and tbat F. T. Poindexter shall be the the first constable. That is it. Henry,” said the mayor. ''Ik n etv y o u would have it when I wanted itV It may not be so long before we’ll have to be using it again.” ' ■ The last sentence sounded par ticularly significant. If the chief executive officer of the town was contemplating invoking a statute which had been used in more than three decades then something must be doing in the old town; You are not by any chance ibinking about doing away with prohibitions again?’*' asked the re porter, adding another question, The distilleries are not coming back, are they?” - Not by a long jump,” said Hen ry Smithdeal with emphasis. He is an ardent dry.' - 'But we are getting a bardsur faced road through -!iere,” said the mayor, who ranked this develop, menit much more important than the return of any liquor manufac.; tories. And maybe it was at that. Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. 0 0 0 0 0 0 ' Big fat officer climbing out of car —Duke Bowden in court house con.

Reference is often made there days to “frozen capital” as largely to blame for employment and business depression. Many people, no doubt, wonder just what frozen capital is. why it exists and why it is so close- Iy tied in with our current economic ills. . Everybady knows I h a -11Capital" means money and that ‘frrzen,” in this sense, means inactivity; A good answer to the “whys” is found in a recent nation-wide survey of peter* tial investors (Anyone with a sav ings account is a potential investor.) .The survey, conducted by the Na tional Association- of -Manufacturers, asked this question: “Do you have money-available which you could in. ve«t and would like to invest, bet which you do not care to invest at the present time? The reply of 75 I per cent was “yes." The 75.1 per cent waB then asked why they did not want to invest now. Here are some of the answers; Ina dequate present profit and doubtful future profits. because of possible new legislation* existing taxes, proa- pects of new tex s, labor trouble andinternationaftroubles. Factors that xvould create a will' ingness Io invest were also listed, There were: Improved government policies and attitudes affecting busi ness changes in government spend ing and budget policies, less govern ment competiton with business, reduced taxes and a change in Feder al labor legislations .

Winston-Salem had very few business and fresb-meat dealers. Davie county farmers not only raised beef cattle, but often went out and purchased a number of the animate in order to have a ' drove” of them for tbe Winston Salem and ot$er markets in this section of the state. A citizen who conducted a market here for years and whi was regard, el a fine judge of beef cattle, relates a story about a butcher for whom'he worked in Salem. He said that the Davie county man brought onejof those droves to the city. The first butcher and fresh meat dealer visit ed was the one in Salem. However, for a time they were not able! to reach an agreement on the amoliht per pound the owner expected and wanted for his animals. 'Weil. I will drive up to Winstbn and see the butcher and market (pan . I knowandsee what he will offer me,” Ihe Davie man was quoted ^as saying. . . ' 'Didn’t you know that butcher was dead?” asked the Salem meat dealer. -n When did he die?” questioned tlje firmer. “Ob. some time ago,’’ replied the SiIembutchelT. . ' • , The cattle dealer then decided to let the Salem butcher have his cattle at the price offered, saving “it is no need going to Winstoa if my man ia dead.” . 1Yes. if you insist. I will take you to the ceim-tery* and show you where he is buried,” added the Salem- butcher.

The occasion was a special meeting to honor Professor Dewey on having become 80 years old last October. Never before has this courier seen a year wind up with less arthritis and more punch, in the field of science. Yoiuig blood is helping a lot. Dr. Albert B. Sabin, of the Uni versity of Cincinnati college of medicine, who scores against in fantile paralysis and viruses at tacking the nervous system, is 33 years old. His paper, read before the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Ohio university, reveals unsuspected tissue defenses against the en trance of the viruses into the nervous system. It is regarded as an epochal advance toward understanding of the disease and later conquest. Dr. Sabin was bom in Poland, and acquired his academic and medical education at New-TTork university, from 1923 to 1931, later studying at Lister institute, London. In 1932, he oecame associate research scientist at Rockefeller institute, New York city. During his tenure with this institution he discovered a new dis ease, caused by an agent which he calls the B virus. H is: new discovery of the anti- virus goalkeepers in human tissue was announced in connection, with ’is receipt of the Theobald Smith award in medical sciences. 1~)R. ALEXANDER LESSER of Brooklyn college finds there isn’t any such thing as social evo lution—at least not in the old sense. _ _ “In the formSeea Oar Hope given it by In Underaianding the ‘classical Human Behavior evolutionists,' it is dead as a door-nail,” says Dr. Lesser. But, tossing aside “subjective judgment,’ he finds ample hope of new understanding as he assails the old ration alization of haunch, paunch and jowl darwinism, as rationalizations of force.

STIRLING, an- i ^ thropologist of the Smithsonian institution, who delves into exciting origins and inducements of what is ...... loosely calledFoundPrtmittve civilization, is Man Posaesaed off for the Yen for D. Ta Mayacountry' of M exico, leading an expedition which will hunt new clues to early Indian cul tures. It is a renewal of Mr. Stir ling’s explorations of last January, in which he found a stone bearing the earliest recorded date of the A^nericas—equivalent to November 4, 291 B. C. A Princetoa scientist traced the honey highball back 5,000 years and thereby gained knowl- edge of great historic Indo-Eu ropean shifts in population. Mr. Stirling also has found man’s early day elbow-bending a light source. He discovered that the drinking of primitive man was premeditated and indulged in to induce visions. At Ostia, Mr. Stirling found a bar, several thousands of. years old, lacking only the brass rail and the free luneh to match ours. In British Guiana, in 1927, he found pygmies who, for full dress, wore artificial tails; whose babies in arms smoked big cigars and whose dogs were barkless. In Flor ida, he found the lost Calooshas, the earliest Americans. In the Jivaro, he was clubby with, head-hunters and learned much, not only of their recipe for shrinking he«d£, but of their visions, legends and customs. He was reared in the Salinas cow country of California and attended the University of California. His explorations have been in North, Central and South America, Europe and the East Indies. He is 43 year* old, and, as usual, having the time of his life,. < Conaolidaltd Fcaturci—WNU SuvIm J Helping Hand Extended to Devil’s Island Fugitives % .

Following their initial maneuvers, many of the armored car regiment members returned to their fields to com plete harvesting. Like Father, Like Son? Definitely Not! r« r George Young, aee marathon swimmer of years ago, waited 12 years to get the $25,000 Cash prize he earned by winning the Sfr-Inile Catalina island swim in 1926. He was a lad of 17 at the time, and was given the money when he reached 30. George and his wife, residents of Canada, turn “thumbs down” on a swimming career for George Jr., who practices his strokes on the piano stool. The $25,000 is all he and his wife have left from swimming careers which won them $125,000. Brother of Soviet Chief Hits Red Tactics While his brother, Gen. G. M.

Star Dnst ★ tThe Baf Agfdn it Jane Has Preference - ★ To the Bitter End — By V t r if liila V a le — ■ T HE President’s son plans to give us a mystery pic ture—made from one of the best mystery plays ever written —as the first release of his Globe Productions. It’s “The Bat,” by Mary Roberts Rine hart and Avery Hopwood, and has everything that a thriller should have. It was filmed by Mary Pickford’s company in 1926, and done again,1 as “The Bat Whispers,” in 1931. Norman Foster will direct the new version. Hard on the heels of her scrap with Warner Brothers over her re fusal to appear in “Married, Pretty and Poor,” Jane Bryan showed the studio that she preferred to be mar ried, pretty and rich—she announced her engagement to Justin W. Dart, who is general manager of a drug firm. Mickey Kooney may rank first at the box offices of motion picture theaters in this country, but in Great Britain and Ireland he comes sec ond, with Deanna Durbin pushing him out of first place. She was not among the first ten in this country. If you are devoted to the story, “The Light That Failed,” you’ll like the picture version, which sticks to the original, even to the unhappy ending. If it’s Ronald Colman, rath er than the story, who’s responsi- RONALD COLMAN ble for your interest in the picture, you’ll enjoy it hugely, for he gives an excellent performance. — * — So do Walter Huston, Dudley Digges, and Ida Lupino. Miss Lu- pino has had a hard time of it in Bollywood; she was put into ingenue parts and kept there; now that, at last, she had been given a chance to show what she could do with a real role, she had made the most of it. Hers is rather like the one in “Of Human Bondage” that established Bette Davis as a dramatic actress. Miss Lupino’s performance is good enough to do as much for her. No longer can she be thought of as just one of those pretty blondes who are so numerous in the picture-mak ing metropolis. If you’re interested in the present activities of former radio favorites, here’s news of some of them. Jim my Melton is now known as James Melton, and is a concert singer. Morton Downey wound up his sum mer engagement at the World’s fair and followed it with an equally suc cessful one in a Hollywood night club. Singin’ Sam is making money by making recordings. Jessica Dragonnette makes occa sional appearances on the air—and when you see “Gulliver’s Travels” you’ll hear her voice. Vera Van, Leah Ray and Annette Henshaw have retired. Gene Autry, the singing screen star who is Pnblie Cowboy No. I, heads a new western series from 4lUie Double M Ranch” over the Columbia network each Sunday. In cidentally, did you know that Gene was discovered by the beloved Will Rogers? Rogers stopped at a small town in Oklahoma to forward Jiis syndicated column; Gene, the tele graph operator, was singing a west ern ballad. Rogers advised him to capitalize on his talents—and a little more than a year later Gene Autry was a popular radio and recording artist. Del Courtney, who features Can did .Camera music over NBC, has borrowed an idea- from the inoViei' in his presentation of "previews” of his forthcoming programs. Before concluding his broadcasts, he playa a few bars of some of the new tunes to be featured on the next program. It’s a novel idea, and will probably be widely copied by bandleaders who don’t hesitate to imitate their more successful brethren.

MAITLAND Sparkle of Diamonds Latest Fashion Tendency in Jewelry By CHERIE NICHOLAS 'T'H IS should not be the winter of -*■ your discontent, not when you can solve the major clothes problem so simply and smartly as fashion makes it possible for women of dis criminating taste to do this season. If your winter is composed of many evenings when you like to dress up a little and a few evenings when you really must dress up a Jcjt1 according to Muriel King, one Af our leading American designers, the one-gown evening . wardrobe composed of a sheath in either black or dark crepe or of satin if you prefer, plus a number of flat tering blouses will solve the prob lem nicely. To glorify this costume with distinctive accent, wear one important piece of jewelry rather than a bizarre display of jewels en masse. As approved and adopted by ladies of fashion, the formula calls for a well-fitted sheath gown (dark crepe or satin) as decollette as your most formal evening dates may re quire. Supplement this with one or more blouses,, sleeves either long or short, neckline either high or low, whichever is more becoming. One pair of slippers will serve several costumes, but change your hair-do according to mood and remember that much depends upon the jewelry you wear. The costume centered in the il lustration demonstrates the propo sition of the basic sheath gown that is styled with exquisite simplicity, its extreme decollette tuning it to most formal occasion. Accented, as you see, by a single important jewel.Brilliants are now used extensive- 1 ly, each tiny gem cut with 58 facets or planes, to catch the light from angle and focus ail the radiance on you. For less formal occasion the gown may be worn with a modish over-blouse as pictured to the right. And you don’t necessarily have to abide by black, for this dinner dress, by Muriel King, is in bottle green for the sheath and soft pink for the blouse. Note the new longer length for this blouse. The clip brooch on the bodice is really quite a jewelry collection in itself, in that it separates into a diamond-mounted emerald brooch and two diamond clips. There is much to be said in favor of a three-way jewelry piece like this in that it offers versatile uses. For other occasions you can wear a black lace bolero with your sheath and endless other suggestions could be offered. The same sparkle of diamonds that illumines by night on formal clothes radiates by day on select daytime costumes. An outstanding gesture this season is a single piece of worthwhile jewelry worn with your best tailleur ensemble or pinned at a vantage point on your fur coat. We are going to describe the handsome jewelry piece worn by this smartly tailored debutante pictured to the left. Here’s where things are growing exciting for there’s a watch in the picture and the question is, where is it? You suspect some part of the pendant brooch? Right you are and the place to look is on the smooth side of the dangling diamond ball. This ball reverses toward you on a pivot, so that your eyes look right down into the face of time. The practical side of this pretty ornament is the fact that you al most never break your watch crys tal. You just couldn’t. You’ll see pendants pinned to all the best lapels in spring suits. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Pastel Prints The new incoming silk prints bring the message of soft, lovely, pastel colorings. Shown here is a silk spectator sports dress for re sort wear printed in pale blues and greens made with classic shirt top and pleated skirt. This is nicely contrasted by a wine and natural colored straw hat. Jewelry Contrasts Jewelry in deep tones of the same color is an effective contrast for lame evening frocks. Watch Pockets Are Highly Important In the realm of dress design pockets are the center of attrac tion this season. Now that they have become the plaything of designers don’t be surprised to find a pocket or a whole flock of pockets posi tioned anywhere on your new dress, coat or blouse. The-list runs the gamut from huge saddlebag pockets down to tiny dec orative affairs that are cunningly frivolous and whimsical. Then there are the new peg-top pockets that add so much style to the newer skirts. The new pouch pockets are inter esting, so are the patch-pocket types in infinite variety. Kangaroo, sandwich and a host of other type pock ets you’ll be seeing too, so if you would be style-alert, watch pockets! Such fine handwork is being lav ished on pockets as shirring, tuck ing, intricate stitching, glamorous glittering embroidery and so on. The “pocket dress” (term recently adopted in fashion vocabulary) has become the popular theme of the moment. Q Cowl-Shaped Skirt Late Style Touch Cowl-like drapery is not Jimited to necklines in the elaborately cut gowns of this season. On an eve ning frock of white silk jersey, the skirt is cowl-draped from waist to floor. The bodice of the dress is gathered in graceful folds slanting from right shoulder to left waist line, with the drapery caught at the center of the bodice by a sweep ing wing embroidered in gilt beads and gold sequins. Leopard Sailor • The casual, sportsy appearance of leopard fur is the basis for its selec tion by a New York designer to create both the crown and brim of a trim sailor hat. -----------IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOLLesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of Tbe Moody Bible Institute - of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union;) TLesson for January 28 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESOS DRAMATICALLY PRO CLAIMS HIS MESSIAHSHIP LESSON TEXT-Matthew 21:1-1«.GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, thy King Cometh unto thee.—Matthew 21:9. Tne official presentation of Him self to the Jewish people as their King, their rejection of Him, and what was even more solemnly meaningful, His rejection of the He brew nation because of unbelief- such are the stirring events which face us as we enter with our Lord into the last week of His earthly life. The first event in that sequence is the one we study in our lesson for today, namely, the coming of the King to Jerusalem. Jesus on this occasion did a very dramatic and unusual thing, a fact which indicates that here is an incident of extraor dinary import to which we do well to give careful study. I. Preparation and Presentation (vv. 1-7). The King comes, but even in His hour of royal triumph He gives to His followers the unexplainable but inestimable joy of meeting His need. 1. “The Lord Hath Need” (w . 1-4). He had need of disciples who would do His bidding without ques tion or hesitation—“and the disci ples went, and did even as Jesus had appointed them” (v. 6). How precious is such obedience! Let us also go and do what He commands. He needed the colt and the ass. How simple and lowly was that need, and yet how glorious that a man was ready to meet it! God’s plans are worked out in the little things as well as the great. Proph ecy was being fulfilled here (see v. 5) by a little thing. Is God wait ing to carry out some great pur pose through some little thing which you are withholding from Him? Why hinder Him any longer? 2. “Behold Thy King Cometh” (w . 5-7). Though He did not come with the pomp and trappings of an earthly potentate, the King of Glory came to His people to offer them for the last time the opportunity to receive Him. He asks you to yield your life to His kingship. What will your answer be? H. Acceptance and Rejection (w . 8-11, 15, 16). I. “The Multitude . . . Cried . . . Hosanna” (w . 8-11). The fact that before the week was over many of the same voices cried, “Crucify Him!” should not obscure the fact that there were childlike believers (v. 16) who really had faith in Christ. There is something inspir ing about that picture of enthusiasm and devotion. Real faith in Christ ought to result in a fervor of spirit which will stir our hearts and oure cities. Are we not altogether too dead and formal in much of our worship today? Do we not need more holy enthusiasm for Christ and for His Church? 2. “The Chief Priests and Scribes . . . Were Sore Displeased” (w . 15, 16). Small wonder, for not only had the children put them to open shame by recognizing the Christ whom they had ignored, but He had in turn ruined their polite religious racket which produced for them such a lovely profit. Mark this—when any one is displeased with Jesus or with His true children or with His work on earth, you can be sure that there is a reason, and not a holy, upright' or good reason either! III. Judgment and Compassion (w . 12-14). -What a remarkable picture! In the midst of flaming judgment and de struction we find loving compassion upon the blind and the lame. Folk who think that Christ has no mes sage but love need to look on Him as He cleanses the temple. On the other hand, those who think that He has no word but judgment need to behold Him as He stands in the midst of the overturned tables and debris and heals the needy. Incon sistent? Not at all. God is love, but He is also absolute holiness. 1. “Jesus Cast Out . . . and Over threw” (w . 12,13). He knew where to begin to cleanse the city. He started in the temple. Absolutely right is the man who suggested that the place to start to clean up a city is not in the slums but in the churches. You will be ready to clean out the tavern or that other low place where the gang hangs out in your town after you have cleaned out the church. The same is triie. of the individual. A regenerated heart will bring a reformed life, not vice versa. 2. “He Healed Them” (v. 14). The very hands which had just over thrown the tables and. cast out the money-changers now gently touched the lame and the blind with heal ing. The eyes which had blazed with holy indignation now shone with love and compassion. The- scene of judgment and chaos became the house of prayer and of answered prayer. On the very spot where one, man had received condemnation, an other received healing. Each one received that which he sought by his action. How will, you, m y'dear reader, meet Jesus—as your Judge or as your Saviour? You must make the choice. Household News SERVE THESE LIVER CROQUETTES WITH POTATO RALLS AND TOMATO SAUCE See Recipes Below Just Good Food In her own town and in her time, Aunt Edith was considered a good cook. When prizes were awarded for the best cakes at church fairs, Aunt Edith won her share of them. But she had her bad days, too, when this pie crust was soggy or that cake fell flat. Aunt Editii used to say, “Well, I had good luck with my baking today,” and sometimes she said, “I don’t know why, but my sponge cake isn’t near as nice as usual, this time.” Luck played quite a part in the success or failure of one’s cooking and baking, in those days! There isn’t anymysteryabout cooking and bak ing today; this “four-point plan” eliminates the el ement of chance, and insures uni form results, day after day: I, test ed recipes; 2, accurate measure ments; 3, proper methods of mix ing ; 4, correct temperature for cook ing and baking. Reliable recipes and good ingre dients are available by the score. When you’ve found the ones you like, stick to them! Marked meas uring cups and spoons have done away with the old time “pinch” of this, and "smidgin” of that, and directions for mixing are a part of every tested recipe. Thermometers of every kind insure the proper tem perature for cooking and baking; thermometers for deep fat frying eliminate grease-soaked doughnuts or croquettes; there’ll be no sticky, runny frostings or candy that won’t “set,” when the cooking is done with candy thermometers; meat thermometers mean roasts that are cooked to just the right degree of “doneness” ; and oven thermome ters are practically indispensable for the countless baking jobs in volved in feeding a family. You’ll find the recipes below meet the re quirements of the four-point plan. You’ll want to add them to your file of tested recipes for “Just Good Food.” Silver Cake.

She enjoyed the comfort to Christians obtained bv reading it. She gave heed to its teaching and put in prac tice in her daily life the principles which constitute reverence toward her Maker, also duty toward others. She was more anxious about the comfort and welfare of others than herself. “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Matt. 7-12, was one of her main precepts She was always ready, when able, to lend a help ing hand in time of need. She bad strength and power to endure in time of troubie, She brought up her family with discipline and looked after their welfare, studied her own business and was like King Solomon expressed it in his Proverbs when he said; “And worketh willingly with her hands, Strength and honor are her clothing; She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness; Her children arise up. and call her blessed. A woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised.’’ She was a devoted - wife and mother. Her husband departed this life July 7, 1927.

Helen. Adele and "Limpy," are visited by their Aunt Olympia, politically minded wife of Senator Alencon Delaporte Slopshire. She insists that the girts return with her to Washington, to make their home with them. In addition to loving the girls, Annt Olympia knows they will be a terrific political asset Senator Slcmshlre has as his political opponent one Brother Wilkie, a minister, whose political campaign' Is furthered by seven ‘‘unspeakable brats'* who sit on the rostrum with him while be makes speeches. Aunt Olympia and the Senator, kind and loving, nevertheless know that their three nieces will mean votes for the Senator. Senator Slopshire, a pleasantly foggy individual who depends on the astuteness of his wife, prepares for their coming. Though Limpy. the youngest, is Ifi,* and Helen, the oldest, is 21, the Senator buys them all the toys and gifts he can find, feeling that "children" should be occupied. When they first meet their "Uncle Lancy." as he is to be known, the girls take him to their united bosom. Soon Adele, most beautiful ■ of the sisters, meets Len Hardesty, publicity man for Brother Wilkie. Though it is LentS job to help defeat the Senator, he promptly falls In love with Adele. CHAPTER IV—Continued —6— The Senator coughed deprecating- ly. “She’s joking, Adele. This is preelection stuff. Before election day, she’ll be telling me, with force ful, if inelegant, expletives, that' if I ever run for anything again she’ll divorce, and probably de-neck, me. This is before-the-campaign stuff.” “My very words,” said Aunt Olympia complacently. “I forgot my quotes,” admitted Uncle Lancy. “What a cocky little fool I was; Brick,” Helen wrote home to Iowa, “to think I could learn this racket in one year. Aunt Olympia’s been in it right from the cradle—or at least from the marriage altar—and she says it’s still so much haywire to her. It seems to be mostly luck and ’getting the breaks,’ and of course, seizing Opportunity before the Opposition gets hold of it. Aunt Olympia says if she didn’t watch every breath the Senator draws, he’d get himself impeached before breakfast. But I am learning a little, I think. “There’s one thing I’ve learned, and this is important. We’ve got to get over that provincial feeling that political opponents are; social lepers, to be snubbed and ostracised and passed by on the other side. Aunt Olympia says it is a sign of superi ority to hobnob with the Opposition —except at the polls, of course. She says it is only little fry who carry political animosities further than the Congressional Record. And I must say, she lives up to her philosophy. I’ve met quite a number of Republican wives and they are very nice to me and ask me to their meetings and teas, and Aunt Olympia encour ages me to go. Sometimes she goes wiffi me. < “Really, Brick, they are amaz ing, Uncle Lancy and she. Take Len Hardesty for instance. He is here half the time, mooning over Adele mostly, but always showing up at the dinner table and the cock tail tray. And last week who should breeze in unexpectedly but Brother Wilkie, the Governor, running against Uncle Lancy. He ’phoned and Auntie asked him to dinner and he came. They were lovely to him and Aunt Olym pia asked him to ask the blessing.” Aunt Olympia was far deeper in the campaign than either the girls or the Senator realized. She spent two hours every morning carefully conning the important dailies from home and making notes of things to be attended to; cards of congratula tions from herself and the Senator to everyone having babies Or getting married; condolences for illness and death; approval of the activities of dubs and church organizations, with pertinent suggestions and of fering co-operation; and she pains takingly, with well-concealed bitter ness, received every constituent who happened to be in Washington and telephoned or called. By the first of April Olympia had completed plans for the campaign entourage; deciding on a motor trailer to insure the domesticity of the family, with beds, kitchen and cozy dinette. “We won’t have to eat there much,” she assured the girls kind ly. “Just enough to get good photos of how domestic and homey we are, with you girls tripping prettify; around at your work. We’ll have HDda send us a crate of cooked food every day.”“Doesn’t she campaign with us?” “Oh, no! Except in the Scandi navian districts, where she sits at the table with us... . . Not in the rest of the state. The average voter thinks if a Senator: clan afford a maid he’s getting too much money.” There would be a sound truck for the Senator’s speeches and in addi tion to their own big car, a couple of secondhand Fords for the staff, visiting reporters, et aL She fretted a good deal over the sound truck, having ideas 'of her own on that im portant matter. It must have microphones both inside and. on the driver’s seat: on the driver’s seat to show the Senator off In good weather and inside ‘*for rain; the Senator catches cold if he gets wet.” After consulting and, personally inspecting every make of trailer and sound truck on the market, she decided to buy—from some home dealer, of course—old, run-down, an tiquated cars that could be rebuilt. “The shabbier the better—on the outside,” she explained to the girls. “To take some of the graved off that ’Alencon’ . . . New cars look royal istic . . . But don’t worry. We’ll have the best and most modern en gines installed under the rusty hoods; like Uncle Joe Cannon, with silk underwear under his homey homespun. We’ll have them rebuilt from the tires up—on the inside. Fortunately, the works don’t show.” Aunt Olympia knew her Congres sional Record better than her “Alice in Wonderland.” She went straight back to the campaign. She sent up to Maysville, her home town and the state capital, for a motor dealer and had him come to Washington—at the Senator’s ex pense—to get her ideas. She had drawn rough drafts of what she de sired, both in trader and trunk, but the expert did not comprehend them readily. “Why, it’s SSii simple as a—a logarithm,” she said irritably. “For the sound truck we want a second hand, run-down delivery wagon, an enclosed one, of course. Put in the best works you can get hold of. Get a good sound man to wire it, with miles on the driver’s seat as well as inside. BuUd cabinets of shelves and drawers along the in side to put papers and books in. And leave room for a good easy chair for the Senator, because his feet swell before the end of the cam- The Senator coughed deprecat- ingly. “She’s joking, my dear,” he said. paign. And put in long narrow win dows on each side for ventilation. Isn’t that simple enough?” “What color you want this paint ed?” “I don’t want It painted,” she said exasperatedfy. “No paint! I want rust and mud and scratches and dents, but no paint. If it’s painted when you get it, you set fire to it or soak it in acid. Is that clear?” The month of April she. devoted pretty largely to planning the girls’ campaign wardrobes. On these, she spared neither time, talent nor ex pense. She had the best dressmak ers and designers in Washington at work. There were graceful, girlish dresses for afternoon and for din ner; there were sport clothes, bath ing suits, riding costumes; there were fetching little costumes of fin est gingham for their dainty house work about the tratier. Aunt Ofym- pia persistently referred to these as their “cottons.” “Why cotton, Auntie?” demand ed Limpy. “We don’t raise cotton up there, do we?” “No, darling,” said Aunt Olym pia, beaming approval for her acu men. “We don’t raise cotton, but we have nineteen large cotton'mills and they employ at least ten thou sand constituents.” Although all their dresses were what Aunt Olympia called “vote- getters” to the last ribbon and the smallest button, she reserved her most passionate interest for what die called their “wind-up ensem bles. The Senator winds up with a huge rally. That’s the big night. You catch a lot of voters—floaters, they are—if you handle the wind-up right. Your wind-up costumes are to be chef d’oeuvres; absolutely chef d’oeuvres.” “It can't be the same as hors d’oeuvres,” Llmpy assured her Sisters. “Not even Aunt Olympia would expect them to eat us.” “I wouldn’t trust Len Hardesty," said Aunt Olympia. “Not if AdeIe looks as well as I expect . . . Let me see, that will be the first week of November. Fall dresses. Felt hats. Wide, sweeping black for Helen with Uttle white doodads. Droopy white for Limpy with long black streamers.” “I suppose I’m to go barehead ed,” said Adele. “No, no, darling! Not quite. Tee ny black and white something or other, with a bit of a veil and my only regret is that Len Hardesfy won’t be there to see it. He’d stran gle the brats with his bare hands.” Helen did not foUow the prelimi nary campaign activities as closely as her- sisters. Studying the potiti- cal racket kept her fairly busy. She read the Congressional Record con scientiously, if boredfy. She spent hours visiting the Senator’s committees and trying to make heads and tails of things which didn’t make sense to an average intelligence like hers. She hung over the gallery of the House as if she had become a fixture there. Aunt Olympia at last reached a Stage of her preparations where she felt impelled to ask the Senator’s advice.“Del, how about a publicity man for our campaign?”“Why, we’re going to have Dave Cooper. He’s the best we can get, since Len1 s tied up. I’ve already spoken to him about it. He’s work ing on it now.” “Yes, of course, for you," she said significantly. “But how about the girls here?” The Senator wisely said nothing, but the girls rose to it. “For us!” .“We’ve had enough publicity to last us a lifetime!” “Heavens, Auntie, do we rate a publicity man?” “Oh. he’ll only be an assistant to Dave Cooper, but we’ll need some one to handle our end of it. Dave’ll be pretty busy I . . We need some one more sentimental. For sob stuff. Heart interest. Human appeal. Let me see—run—ah! Del—what would you think of—well, what would you think of—say—someone like—Cecil Dodd?” The Senator came to with a snap. “CecU Dodd! . . . CecD Dodd, my dear!” The' Senator put on an ex tra pair of glasses to regard her more, severely. “Why, Ollie, CecU Dodd doesn’t know the first thing about poUtics! He’d never get to first base. In fact, he’d never even get to bat. He’s never been in a campaign in his life. CecU Dodd- well, CecU Dodd is what I call a sofa-sitter. But I’ve heard it ex pressed mope forcibly and perhaps with more truth.” “Oh, he’s not so dumb,” Olympia rose to the argument. “He’s chock- full of human appeal; fuU of adjec tives; why, he lmows'adjectives I’ve never even heard of! He’s the loud est exponent of youth and beauty in Washington. Do you remember those articles he wrote when Sissy Graves was killed in an airplane accident? A dozen people were killed—and some of-them important —but he wrote about Sissy with so much heart appeal that everybody forgot aU about the rest of them and made it her exclusive fatality. I know it brought tears to my eyes.” “I don’t go in for tears in a campaign,” he said, more on the de fensive than the girls had ever seen him. “There isn’t going to be any thing milksop about this campaign. It’s going to be muddy.” “He’s a fine dancer; he rides horseback and plays tennis and golf and has taken prizes for swimming and diving. Del, try to forget your personal, poUtical aspirations for once in your life, and think of these poor dear chUdren! Don’t you want them to have any amusement? Do you expect them to listen to you make speeches and shake hands for six . months with no exercise, no fresh air and no—no young compan ionship?” This put a different tight on the matter. The Senator took off both pairs of glasses and set to wiping one. “That’s so,” he assented. “I didn’t mean to be selfish, my dear. The children come first, of course . . . But I don’t suppose we can get turn. I don’t think he could tear himself away from the sofas long enough.”“We can get him,” said Olympia. “I’ve already spoken to him—just tentatively, you understand; asking why he didn’t get into the political end of it and he said he wanted to but never got the breaks. We can get him.” A happy smile rosied her face. “Wait till Len Hardesty bears this!”Len Hardesty was not long hear ing it. He dropped in on them the next night. “Had to fly down,” he said cheer fully. “Got to fly back, too. ..The Governor’s going tightwad on me.” “I’m glad you came, Len,” said Olympia heartily, almost fondly. “I want to ask your advice about some thing.”A guarded expression settled over his face. “Oh, you do eh? Then you’re up to something I’m against.” He braced himself to re ceive it. “AU right. Let's have it. It’s dead wrong and you know it.” Olympia laughed happily. "Oh, it’s really nothing or I shouldn’t be asking your advice. It’s a mere de tail. It’s about a publicity man for the campaign. You know those pub licity gangsters better than we do.” Len, who had thought he was pre pared for anything, was genuinely surprised. “Publicity man!. Why, you dumb cluck,-aren't you having Dave Coop er? If you’re not, you’d tetter get him and get him quick. He’s tops.” “Don’t be silly, Len. Of course we’re having him . . . For the Sen ator . . . But we’ve got to have an assistant. You see, there’s going to be qiufe. E cavalcade of us—what with the trailer and the tent and the sound truck end three cars. We don’t want anybody to work day and night for us. We’re not like some candidates, who expect a poor publicity'.man to live, move and have his being with seven brats and a trumpeting beldame.” “I smell a rat,” said Len Har desty. “You never gave me an assistant.” “But we’re a much larger party this year, you silly dunce . . . No, definitely, I am for you laboring classes and I will not-have poor old Dave imposed on and worked to death, not even for’ the Senator. But we’ll expect his assistant chiefly to handle our end of it, mine and the girls’, when the Senator and Dave are off on their flying junkets and we’re cooped up in the tratier. We’ll need someone rather young and fairly presentable, don’t you think? So he can be a sort of companion to the girls when they’re dancing and riding and swimming? And you know yourself, Len, that fairly pre sentable publicity men are hard to get I don’t know that I've ever seen one.” “I’m sorry I spent the money to fly down,” he said grimly. “If I’m to pick out a man for you, seems to me you ought to pay the bill out of your expense account.” “Unfortunately we haven’t a per centage club, tike the Governor,” she disclaimed quickly. “Besides, darting, I don’t expect you to pick him out.” “That’s what I was afraid of,” he .admitted gloomily. “Now let’s get this straight, Ollie. You speak of your cavalcade of cars. What’s it to be? A campaign for re-election, or a specially conducted young la dies’ tour with a presentable es cort?” “The election comes first, of course. But after all, the Senator— Uncle Lancy—and I cannot overlook our responsibility to these poor dear children. We must provide for them as best we can, even in the exigencies of a campaign. Who would you suggest?” - “I wouldn’t suggest anybody. I’d suggest putting the girls ih jail till I get rid of the Governor. They don’t need an escort. Dave Coop er can handle them. True, he’s no Don Juan! He’s forty and fat and married and chews tobacco. But he can give you all the publicity you need and more than you merit.” “I was thinking of someone tike— well, how about Cecil Dodd?”“Cecil Dodd! Lord, Ollie, if you upholster your trailer in purple du- vetyn and silken cushions you’ll elect the Governor! . , . Cecil Doddt . . . Ollie, we’ve had our oc casional differences but I’ve al ways admired you as a straight shooting, shoulder-to-shoulder old trooper . . ■. Cecil Dodd! . . . Do you want to shatter a young man’s fondest illusions?. . . . Cecil “Do you want to shatter a young man’s fondest illiisibns?” Dodd! You’re not taking him to play politics. You’re taking him to gum up my works.” “He writes very, beautiful and touching articles, Len Hardesty, and you can’t deny it . . . But I admit I want him especially as a sort of a companion—a sort iff chaperon for 'the girls . . . When they do their playing . . . I can’t keep my mind on them every minute and run this campaign at the same time.”"No! So you salve your calloused conscience by giving them this— this silk pajamaed pariah as a watchdog ~. . . Well, if that’s what you’re up to, you count Adele out. She can’t go. I put my foot down on that. You can sick him onto your innocent Helen and trusting tittle Limpy if you tike—if that’s your idea of Qiristian duty to young or phans—but I’ve got King’s X on Adele and she can’t go.” “Well, I’m glad you approve,1’• said Ofympia beamingly. “Have a drink, Len? Your seal ,of approval relieves me a lot. I wasn’t quite sure about it in my own' mind, but you’ve settled my doubts.” “Aw, Ollie, be a sport! Give a fel low a break, won’t you?

Pull the Trigger on Lazy Bowels, and Also Pepsin-ize Stomach! When constipation brings on add indi- • gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your , . stomach is probably loaded up with certain undigested food andyour bowels don’t move. So you need both Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be sure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its Syrtqs Pepsin helps you gain that wonderful stomach-relief, while the Laxative Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of undigested protein food which may lmger in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin- izing your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. At the same rime this medicine wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your bowels to relieve your constipation. So see how much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomach discomfort, too* Even finicky children love to taste this pleasant family laxative.

The other way is to avoid having it by getting at its cause. So why not save yourself those dull headachy days, plus the inevitable trips to the medicine chest, if you-can do it by a sbnple common-sense "ounce of prevention"?If your trouble, like that of millions, is due to lack of "bulk” In the diet, "the better way” is to eat Kellogg’s All-Bran. This crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat cereal has just the "bulk” you need. It you eat it regularly—and drink plenty of water—you can not^cnly gaL re&fiar but keep after month! All-Bran is made by Kellogg's In Battle Creek. If your condition is chronic, it is wise to consult a physician. Ease Up j “Where did you get those trou sers, old man?

But it was not in Aunt Olympia to overlook the glorious political asset which these three debutantes offered in time of dire need. • That’S, where the trouble started.

The first lever used to pry a rock, tho first wheel built to move burdens, the first wedge shaped to split a log were creations of prehistoric engineers. Over fonr thousand years ago, engineers' built -the dams on the Euphrates - and erected the. Egyptian pyramids. Two thousand years ago Roman engineers tied Europe together by highways, spurred the migration of older civilizations Into unexplored countries. There the conquerors provided uncontaminated water sup- , plies and shelter against the elements. So down through the ages, making life more secure and more satisfying, the work of engineers has gone forward. The work of engineers, often un sung, has provided for ever-widen ing and continuous benefits to the human race, through control of nature’s forces and materials. Today the youth, of vision.

At the home of Mr. Henry Call, on Saturdey night, several relatives and friends gathered to hear some music made on a banjo and organ, together by his daughter, Miss Msud, and nephew, Walter Call. It was given up by old and young to be the best music they ever had heard.

Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books, dig ditches or edit a paper, ring an auction hell or write fun. ny things, you must work. If you look around, vou will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who wotk the hardest. Don’t be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do tbat on the sunny side of 30. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at 6 p. m. and didn’t get home till 2 a. m. It’s the interval that kills, my son Tbe work gives an appetite for your slumbers; it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names even; it simply speaks of them as “old So.and So’s boys.” Nobody likes them, the great, busy world doesn't know that tbey are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied the world will be with you. —Bob Bardette. Softies! Let the temperature drop to round 20 degrees and modern wrap up and shiver as if it were cold weather! We wonder how this softie gen- eta.ion tbat is nurtured like hot house plants and explodes in a fren zy of agony when frost forms would get along if it bad to endure the sott of cold that used to come down our way with the Arctic winds! We suppose onr present day hu manity would quickly turn into a cube of ice and be done with it if the thermometer should show a spell of around zero which formerly, was more or less commonplace with onr winters. That, of course, was before homes were furuanced with hot air and people generally had no option but to make themselves face what had to be done with the few facilities, if any, prevalent for comfort in those times. It would be painful to witness the reaction of todav’s parlar plants if some of them had to troop to the barn through snow knee-deep to milk the cow, or with a stiffly- frozen chain draw the drinking water from the well, or sleep under scant bedding when the water in the pitcher on the table in the room had frozeu an inch thick, and Grandpa’s false teeth^ were chat tering on the bureau nearby where he laid them when he retired. Cold weather with the tempera ture at only 20 or a bit lower? Not long ago, tbat would have been considered fit climate in which to shuck coat and go around bare footed. ' People used to have some resist ance in their bodies as well as some sand in their craw and granite in their souls!—Charlotte Observer. Toy Money. Toy manufacturers estimate that the people of the United States spent more than $200,000,000 on toys this Christmas. This is a lot of money but it is well spent. Of course, some cbild- red receive too many toys and other children receive too few but, in the main, the jov and happiness that many 'children get is worth the price o f the toys. BUYER MEETS CCl I CD IN 0UR ADO L L L lix c o ljm n s .... The Next President. The gamblers would give a huge sum cf money if they could get the “ inside dope” on who will be elect ed President of these United States in November. And yet the men who do the political forecasting are already saying that signs point to the election of Thomas Dewey, Ar thur Vandenberg, Robert A. Taft, or some other Republican no mat ter whether President . Roosevelt runs or not ■ Some of these forecasting sheets are interesting to read. . How true they' are time alone will tell. Rog ers, Dunn, well known forecaster in New York, is certain a Repub Iican would be elected were the election held today. He does not say, however, what will happen in November. He points to his own record of guessing by saving that in 1938 he predicted Lehman would win for governor of New Yoik by' polling 50.3 per cent of the total vote; tbat Robett F. Wagner and James M. Mead would get 55 per cent of the vote for U. S. Senators. The actual connt gave Lehman 50.7 per cent while Wagner and Mead polled exactly 55 per cent. As to the forthcoming election Dunn predicts the Republicans can get 315 electoral votes (266 being needed to win) carrying a mini, mum of 26 states. At the present time Dewey, Vandenberg or Taft' would poll 56 per cent of the total vote and that Mr. Roosevelt could not hold more than 22 sta’es with an electoral vote of 216, savs Mr. Dunn. Mr. Dunn makes this amazing prediction without any qualifica tion: “ Bruce Barton will be elec ted the uext U. S. Senator from New York State” New York state, he thinks, todry shows a slight Re publican majority but is listed as a doubtful state. That sounds very encouraging to those who held steadfastly to the Republican faitb. Then from the Pathfinder comes the prediction that great hordes of Democra s who voted far ■ Roose velt in 1936 intended to vote Re publican in November 1940. Of this number it is found tbat Dewey would poll 54.2 per cent; Vanden berg i t .7 per cent; Traft 11.6 per cent; Hoover 7.5 per cent; London 5 .3 per cent, and scattering 9 7 jer cent. —Exchange. Wise Sayings. Heaven helps the man who helps the other fellow. One wise counsel is better than the strength of many. Most of us never applaud until some one else begins to clap. The man who does.his best is not compelled to waste time telling a. bout it. It takes brain and p'uck more than money and luck to get busi ness nowadays. It is the struggle to keep up ap pearances that keeps a great many people down. The man who has the courage to tell the truth usually has the bra very to defend it. It is the man who wants to sleep that complains of people blowing their own horn. Ability to m ake. excuses rarely goes with an aptness to make mon ey, friends and character. The man who cm say “ Yes” and “ No” at the tight time has the greatest command of languages. Nothing is more fatal to a busi ness man’s success than discourage ment because of success of rivals.

Sagging Prices For Leaf Crop Is Seen. Tbe infant tobacco crop, now be ginning its first growth in plant beds, 13 expecten to find a rough reception when it finally reaches warehouse floors next fall, believes J. B. Hut son, assistant administrator of the Triple A Its preceding brother, the 1939 crop, turned out to be the largest on record, totaling 1,100,000 OCO pounds of flue-cured leaf. It was larger than I937’s crop by one-fourth and is 325.000.000 pounds more than will be used during the current year. This means, Hutson explained, that world’s stock will be 325.000,- 000 pounds greater at the beginning of the next marketing season‘ than at the beginning of the past season On top of that, present indications are that exports will be approximate iy 150,000.000 pounds less than usual. In effect, this situation sets the stage so that stocks in the United States next July I will be about 475 000 000 pounds iarger than at the beginning of the 1939 marketing season. '‘Actually.” Hutson said, “ we need less than half a crop of flue-cured tobacco this year. According to our acreage allotments, growers should produce between 600,000,000 and 675.000.000 pounds of leaf in 1940. “But,” he continued, “present in dications are that it will be extreme ly difficult to market a- reasonably prices this much tobacco next fall. To meet this situation, the AAA executive urged that North Caro lina growers, the largest producers of flue-cured leaf in the country, participate and qualify fnr maxi mum payments under the Agricul tural Conservation program, keep well within their tobacco allotments, and grow plenty of food for the family and feed for the livestock. Tom Watson on Weekly Paper. Tom Watson once had this to say of the weekly paper: The weekly paper is the hope of the country. If every editor of the country press would but realize what would be the irresistable pow er of a combined propaganda, a harmonious editorial preachment through the weekly press, there would be a ground swell in Amer ica that would reduce the metropo litan dailies to impotence and the triumph of the common people, would be assured.

DOANS PILLS The Honorable Uncle Lancy C Bohbt-Meitill Co, By ETHEL HUESTON WNU Suvlc. THE STORT THUS FAR Left orphans by a tragic automobile accident which claimed the lives of their mother and father, three sisters, Helen, Adele and “Limpy," are visited by their Aunt Olympia, politically minded wife of Senator Alencon Delaporte Slopshire. She insists that the girls return with her to Washington, to make tbeir home with them. Ir. addition to loving the girls. Aunt Olympia knows they will be a terrific political asset. Senator Slopshire has as his political opponent one Brother Wilkie, a minister, whose political campaign is furthered by seven "unspeakable brats" who sit on the rostrum with him while he makes speeches. Aunt Olympia and the Senator, kind and loving, nevertheless know that their three nieces will mean votes for the Senator. Senator Slopshire, a pleasantly foggy Individual who depends on the astuteness of his wife, prepares for their coming. Though Limpy, the youngest, is 16. and Helen, the oldest, is 21, the Senator buys them all the toys and gifts he can find, feeling that "children” should be occupied. When they first meet their "Uncle Lancy." as he is to be known, the girls take him to their united bosom. Soon Adele, most beautiful of the sisters, meets Len Hardesty, publicity man for Brother Wilkie. Though it is Len's job to help defeat the Senator, be promptly falls in love with Adele. Olympia buys an automobile house-trailer which will accommodate the five of them, and from which the Senator will campaign. Tiien she decides to hire a publicity agent for the Senator, securing the services of Dave Cooper. CHAFTER IV—Continued —7— “How can I drum up votes for the Governor,” continued Len, “if Fm going to be upset over the Opposition all summer? Do you want to nip the budding career of a rising young genius?” “I’d love to. If.you consider your self a budding genius, which most people don’t. Thanks, Len. I’ll call him first thing in the morning.” “You’ll call him? . . . Haven’t you called him! Haven’t you cinched it? . . . Thanks for that, my dar ling old dragon!” he said, a ray of light breaking over his face. “I’ll land him first. I know every sofa he sits on . . . Tough luck, old dear; the Governor’s hiring an es cort for the brats if he has to add an extra per cent to pay for him. Good-by, dear beautiful angel,” he said to Adele. “For your sake, I tear myself away to corral that menace* The girls sat quite motionless un til he had dashed from the room. Aunt Olympia contentedly lighted a cigarette.“Are—you going to let him get away with it?” gasped Adele. “My dear,” said Aunt Olympia, “in politics you never allow grass to grow where the Opposition is go ing to plant his foot. I tried to get Cecil this morning but he is up in New York writing up that model murder case for the tabloids. If Len Hardesty knows every sofa in Manhattan, he’s had entirely too much experience to associate with you—my dears.” CHAPTER V On the next morning at eleven o’clock, Atmt Olympia received Ce cil Dodd in the sitting room. She received him alone, having with dif ficulty hardened her heart to the girls’ importunities, for they, eager curiosity doubly whetted by the unit ed opposition of Uncle Lancy and Len Hardesty and by Aunt Olym pia’s defense, were eager for a glimpse of him. Aunt Olympia, for the only time, withstood their pleas. Even Limpy’s “Aw, Aimt Olympia,” did not move her. “I’ve been thinking of our talk the other day,” she began at once. “Did I understand you to say you would like to try your hand at campaign- ing?” “I’m crazy to,” he said boyishly. “I’ve applied for a job every place under the sun, but nobody will take me because I have no experience; and how the deuce can I get experi ence when nobody will try me out? . . . Maybe you could give me a recommendation,” he suggested. “No, I can’t do that,” she said flatly. “I don’t know whether you’re any good or not and I’m careful about my recommendations. But maybe I could give you a job—a very small job, of . course. But it would be a starter.” Cecil Dodd was so surprised he couldn’t say a word. Refuse a rec ommendation—and give him a job! It seemed almost unethical. “Experience is worth more than money,” he murmured, devoutly. “Not to us,” she admitted. “Any how it’ll be something and we’ll pay your expenses, and if anybody can teach you the racket, Dave Cooper can . . . With some help from me . . . You see, Cece, this isn’t like the usual campaign. We’ve got our young nieces with us and we’re go ing to take them along. THiosegirls are going to be our best asset in this campaign and we want some one—not quite so hard-boiled as Dave—to do full justice to their vote appeal. And since the girls will be around constantly, we’d like some one of agreeable disposition and— some social experience—to be a sort of companion to them. And we think you’ll do all right. You’ll take or ders from Dave, of course, and do what he tells you and go where you’re sent. But your main job will be handling our end of the game.” Cecil Dodd was boyishly delight ed. When the first moment of rev erent and worshipful awe had passed he found voice again. “Mrs. Slopshire,” he said earnest ly, “I’ll work like a dog; I’ll work day and night.” Having come to this amicable agreement, Aunt Olympia asked him to stay and meet the girls. He accepted the invitation gratefully but Aunt Olympia could see that his mind was less on them than on the great opportunity which a bounte ous Heaven- had so surprisingly be stowed upon him. He responded courteously to the introductions but seemed not even to notice Adele’s iyea “Not as good a reporter as Len Hardesty,” thought Aunt Olympia. “Len hasn’t overlooked a lash." The girls, considerably to their surprise, found him pleasant, even likable, and a decided contrast to the explosively verbose Len Hardes ty. He was slight in build, not tall, but lithe, with a suggestion of mus cular strength in his easy move ments. His voice was low, almost diffident, his • smile boyishly win some. He dressed with that studied and expensive carelessness that is so revealing to the practiced eye. “Well, you may as well begin now as anytime,” said Aunt Olym pia. “Take a memorandum, will you?” He hastened to comply, drawing out his fountain pen and a small, elegant date book in limp leather. “Remind the Senator—or remind me to remind him—to be sure to write up and tell the farmer at Shires—that’s our place up home— to have an extra suit of farm clothes for the Senator to borrow when he speaks at the Granges." The girls talked him over when he had gone. They agreed that Len Hardesty had been unjustly preju diced and that Cecil was a nice boy and they could stand having him around. They thought his eager en thusiasm for the job rather pathetic. “Yes, it’s pathetic,” assented Aunt Olympia. “Cece is all right. The trouble is that he’s always been able to do what he wanted to in stead of what he had to. He has enough money to live on, so he’s nev er had to file his nose on the grind stone. It takes grindstone to make a newspaper man.” “He’s really what you would call a sweet child,” Helen wrote to Brick Landis. “He seems so young and sc unspoiled, and yet Aunt Olympia says he’s had his own way all his life and had everything he has ever wanted. He is taking this job with such deadly seriousness that she is beginning to fear he will neither amuse us nor drive Len Hardesty mad, which was her main object. He began bringing up huge volumes on politics to get Aunt Olympia’s opinion of them, but she stopped that. She said he could get his opin ions from her and Dave Cooper. He has bought a new, perfectly gor geous, simply huge, brief case and a new portable typewriter. And whenever he is not sitting raptly in the Senate gallery gazing down at his candidate and taking notes of ev ery breath he draws, he is at the Press Club trying to make ‘con tacts.’ I just wonder, Brick, if you take politics seriously enough. You didn't pay thirty dollars for a brief case and buy a new typewriter.” Aunt Olympia went with Helen and Adele one afternoon to a large cocktail party—the invitations had said “tea.” It was at the home of an outstanding Republican senator; they remembered that later, with some bitterness. Adele, left alone for a few minutes, was approached by a man, comparatively young, quite handsome, whom Adele in stinctively labeled “a foreigner of some sort.” “I met you just after you came in, Miss Rutherford,” he said pleas antly. “I am Gabriel d’Allotti. I couldn’t possibly expect you to re member me in that crowd and that confusion, but by the same token, you could not possibly expect me not to remember you in any crowd or any confusion. You are unfor gettable.” Adele smiled pleasantly. But she remembered Len Hardesty’s warn ing, “Beware of embassies and at taches!” “Are you with one of the embas sies?” she asked. “Alas, no! I have no such impor tance. I am just a young man try ing to get along. But I know the embassy crowd and have friends among them, so I get around. May I bring you a drink?” “Not now, thanks.” “To tell the truth, I am one of about a million foreigners trying to get the true American picture. I do free-lance correspondence for a few foreign papers and magazines, and naturally I am collecting my impressions for a book on America.” “If you get the American picture, you see better than I do,” she ad mitted. “It looks a hodgepodge to me. Like modern painting. You can’t tell whether that pink splash is a lady’s arm or a platter of fried liver with onions! And then it turns out to be a bunch of grapes.” He laughed appreciatively. “I find the same difficulty, both with art and with America. But I am young and brave. I shall die struggling. Do you like Washington?” “Oh, very much.” “Of course you get the right slant on it,” he conceded. “It helps a good deal to be on the inside looking out and around, instead of, as I am, on the outside, waiting my turn at the knothole.”“Oh, but that’s my trouble! I’m on the outside, too.” “You can’t be far outside in the home of Senator Slopshire. He knows his America. I have often wondered about your senators. Do they act at home as they do on the floor?” “Dm, something the same. Uncle Lancy wipes his glasses; and blushes through his thinning hair when he is flattered.” “But what does he talk about? Does he merely say, as I would, how very beautiful you are? Does he complain about the eggs being overdone? Does he read his speeches to you?” Adele laughed. “He reads them to Helen, but she asked for it,” she admitted. “Helen is trying to learn politics from the ground up. She is my older sister.” “Dear me, is she going to run for something?” “Maybe. Anyhow, she made up her mind to learn it. She goes to committees and reads the Congressional Record and at night they go to the library and argue for hours— over how many air defense guns are required here and there, and whether peace is preserved by more armaments or by disarming, and which end of a boat is the proper _ “Why, that’s Gabriel d’Allotti!” place to put guns and how many times the new destroyers can be torpedoed before they blow up—all that sort of thing.”“Dear me! It sounds quite horrify ing. Doesn’t he expound it all to you, too?”“Oh, no. I don’t listen. Limpy and I don’t care for that sort of thing. We just pick out the best nuts and think of other things.” “Simply profound of you, I should say. More important things! Like, where’s your yellow basket?” “Oh, nothing half as profound as that. If we lost our yellow basket, Uncle Lancy would demand a con gressional investigation and get it back for us.” Gabriel d’Allotti went away pres ently. He had not seen Helen be fore. Naturally, seeing Adele, one looked no further. He did not make the mistake of asking Adele to point out her sister. He was not so clumsy as that. He asked someone else, a stranger, where she was—Senator Slopshire’s niece. The stranger, be ing a man, pointed to Adele. “No, I mean the other one; the studious one; her sister.” “Oh, yes, there is another one , , . Let's see . . . Oh, there she is; over by that window. The tall girl in the black hat and veil.” Gabriel d’Allotti introduced him self to Helen. “I’ve been having a delightful chat with your very love ly sister,” he said with engaging candor. “She tells me that you and I have a great deal in common; that we are a pair of young innocents in the primary department of the big college of politics.” “Oh, I’m not up to the primary department yet,” said Helen. ‘Tm still in the cradle. But I am trying so hard to understand things—and making very little headway.” “We must collaborate," he said. “We are having the same trouble. We have learned the ‘c,’ and the ‘a,’ and the ‘t’; now we must digest our wisdom and combine it into ‘cat.’ Perhaps two digestions, like heads, are better than one.” “It sounds promising,” she said. “I confess that half the time I just listen and frown and don’t even try to digest it. I keep hoping one acquires it gradually, like suntan, from persistent application. Per haps between us we could get the ‘c’ and the ‘a’ and the ‘t’ into a lit tle kitten, at least, if not into a full- grown cat to begin with.” “It’s a bargain,” he said heartily, shaking hands with her. “I shall go at once and make diplomatic over tires to your aunt.” Inside of five minutes he had Aunt Olympia’s attention.“Mrs. Slopshire,” he said ingrati atingly, “it is only fair to inform you, in strictest confidence, that I have been completely enchanted with your very lovely niece. How does one go about getting permis sion to call?” “One comes to tea.”“Pardon my persistence. How soon does one come?”“Tomorrow. It will be nice to have you. W e’r e living very quietly of course—almost in seclusion—be cause of that terrible tragedy but I do want the giflls to pick up what amusement they can.” “I’ll be at my most humorous, I promise you. I’ll go around and collect some good stories for them. “Don’t!” she ejaculated. “If you’re hearing the same ones I am, they are not fit for their young ears. Bring yourself—and leave your rep ertoire at home.” “Who’s that man?” she asked, turning to a friend who stood near. “That one—making tracks for the punch bowl. With too much lotion on his hair.” “That? Why, that’s Gabriel d’Al lotti! You must know him. He goes everyplace.” “Oh, yes, I know him all right. But I've had so much trouble with that Alencon that I try not to pick up any foreign names . . . Gabriel d’Allotti . . . Yes, I know him.” “He is very interesting,” Helen wrote to Brick Landis a couple of weeks later. “And isn’t it strange that he hasn’t fallen in love with Adele? Well, he certainly has en livened my study of the American system. He disagrees with me on nearly everything. He has the for eign idea of maintaining peace— that is, by bigger and better arma ments. You’d almost think he was going to take out naturalization pa pers, he gets so wrought-up over America’s lack of preparedness. “To tell the truth he knows a lot more than I do about the American system, though he doesn’t approve of most of it. He comes to the house quite often and once he went with me to one of Uncle Lancy’s committees and we did agree on one thing: that it is mighty hard for a dozen men sitting around a table to agree on a policy to save the nation; especially when the plan goes from them to the Senate, then to the House, back to the Senate, and back to conference again; and when they do finally agree on some thing, there’s still the White House to reckon with. “You needn’t worry, darling. He hasn’t the suggestion of a crush on me. You can’t fool women about that. Sometimes we think they have when they haven’t, but we never think they haven’t when they have. We’re not that dumb. But we are both interested in the same things and it really is more exciting to argue with him than with Uncle Lancy. Uncle Lancy’s always afraid of hurting my feelings, and Mr. d’Allotti isn’t. But he isn’t my type. I like ’em red headed and a bit roughed up. “Oh, Brick, the session is nearly over and nothing has happened! Wouldn’t you think one really big thingr-an important thing—might happen while I am here, so I. could get a glimpse beneath the surface?” CHAPTER VI Early in May, Aunt Olympia de cided it was time for the assist ant director of publicity, Cecil Dodd, to begin sending stories to the home papers. Olympia, who was an inde fatigable maker of notes, had a list of “points” ready to start the cam paign on her own and the girls’ be half; the Senator, except for inci dental remarks in passing, was to be left to Dave Cooper. So she sent for Cecil and, at their laughing in sistence on its educational value, permitted the girls to listen in. “Now, you see, Cece,” began Olympia, with great gusto, "politics is an elaborate and intricate sys tem of build-up. That’s all. Just build-up.” Cecil took his limp leather loose- leaf notebook from his mono- grammed thirty-dollar brief case and, with a U. S. Senate pencil the Senator had given him made a note of “build-up.” “A lot of it has to be done in ad vance because it must be gradual. An untimely climax gums up the works. It has to be a gradual as cent to the wind-up. Dave, as you know, is already at work building up the Senator’s record and so forth but we women of the Senator’s household must have our domestic build-up. The woman-vote, you know. Though a lot of males fall pretty hard for that domestic an gle, too.”Cecil, raptly. attentive; made a note of “domestic angle.” “Now, in the first place, you must announce that certain salient facts were gleaned from Mrs. Slopshire in an interview . . . This is an inter view . . . I’m going to answer the questions you would ask me if you had enough experience. Now, in an swer to what should be your first question, I reply, with deep feeling, no, we have not as yet given a mo ment’s thought to the coming cam paign. That is left to the future. We—the Senator and I— are so hap py in having these dear children with us, our home life is so full, so serene—Never say ‘exciting,’ Cece, for your life! Say ‘satisfying.’ Our home life is so serene, so satisfying—you might say serenely satis fying, if you like—that so far we have been entirely wrapped up in quiet family interests.” (TO BE CONTINUED) New Button-Front Tailored, Smart HERE’S a smart new way to make the tailored coat dress, on classic shirtwaist lines, that you simply can’t live without.

Newell, of Charlotte announced, to treat the said hog with dnei TheRepublicansand Democrats courtesy, but to insist that he re-1wil1 ballot simultaneously in thetr main out in the open from this date primaries May 25 . Up to the hour of going to press we have heard of but three Repub licans who are going to be candi dates for Registerof Deeds in Davie As the weather and the water warms up a Ii:tie, others may jump in. We are still anxiously waiting to see whether too new sheriffs will have to be elected this year. We believe it is up to the North Caro- Iica Supreme Court to settle this big question. From this part of the universe it seems that it won't be long until all Europe and Asia will be at war. We are all hoping that North and South America can ^eep out of the fight, but no one seems to know just what is going to happen. Well, old uncle Bob Doughton of the 9th District, has decided he wants to remain at the pie counter for another two years, and has tos sed his hat in the ring. He has been a member of Congress for tbe past 30 years and just can’t turn loose that $r 2,000 per year. Davie democrats will have an opportunity of selecting their Con gressman in the May primary. Up to this time three men have an nounced for Congress, C. B. Deane, Giles Y. Newton and W. O Burgin, tbe present incumbent lust wbo the Republicans will nominate we couldn’t say. The State Primary will be held this year on Saturday, May 25th, one week earlier than heretofore. If we are not mistaken, all county and state Ciudidate have to fiie for office on or before March 16th. It is time that the Republicans begin to look around and decide wbo shall fill the various county offices. It you want to run for any office you will have to file between now and April i6 tb, or wait until 1942 It seems that the tobacco farmer is going to be between the devil and the deep blue sea next fall. With enough tobacco on hand to supplv the demand for the next few years the price this year, if much tobacco is grown, will be the Idwe-1 in many years. Tbe wise farmer will cut his tobacco crop short this year and grow something that be can sell at a reasonable price. More rations and less smoking and chewing would be a goad motto for tobacco farmers. until the chilly winds of next wint er get too cold for him to navigate The committe is composed of W. -C. Richardson, D. S. Beck, Char lie Reeves, S. S. Beck, Jobnnie Smith, R. N. Smith, Grady Ijames, C. N. Richardson, Dol'yStroud and, W C Parks. This committee will please advise us just what occurred immediately after the meeting. A Big Snow. ~ The biggest snow of the winter greeted Davie county folks when thev woke up last Wednesday morning. Sncw began falling here about nine o'clock Tuesday morn ing and continued all day and a good part of the night. At times the storm came rear reaching blizzard. The snow was between 7 and 8 inches deep on a level, but was more than a foot deep in places where it had drifted. AU county and town schools were suspended Wednesday on account of danger ous highways The skies cleared Wednesday and some of the wbi'e blanket melted. The mercury took a tumble Wednesday night, and Heretofore Republicans have se. Iected their state slate of candidates at conventions. Tue Republican state convention scheduled for Charlotte March 7, has been postponed, Newell said, "at least until after April 1st." The announcements were made after a couference between Newell and National Committeeman Chas. A. Jonas, of Lincolnton, at (he par ty’s stale headquarters here. Newell said a convention held in March might be attended by bad weather, which would prevent many delegates from attending. Furth er, he said, it was feit that better party feeling could be maintained J by a primary. Newel! said he nn derstood many candidates intended filing for nomination. The party at its convention will adopt a platform and perfect its or ganization Newell commrnted: “ We particularly urge candidates to file by March 15, ■ as the final date is March 16, and if a candi date waits until the last minute, there is always the cbanoe of delay “ We want candidates to file for all offices and if they file early it B I G F E B R U A R Y SPECIALS!

Republicans from all sections of Davie county are insisttng that Charles Vogler, of Shady Grcve township, file as a candidate tor county commissioner, and that Hu bert Eaton, of Cooleemee, be elect ed'Chairman of the Da ie County Republican Executive Committee. Both of these gentlemen are very popular throughout the county, and number their friends by the hundreds. Tney would fill these offices with credit to themselves and the greit party whi;h thev re present. When the democrats are in power it is nothing but right and proper that the appoin’ive offices be giverf to democrats, and when the Repub licans are in office this same rule should apply. But there is one thing that The Rtcord is opposed to, and that is for anv party to go out of the county and import peo ple from other counties to fill posi tions that could be filled by local people. We know that this has been done in the past. We see no reason for going away from home t o fill these political jobs. Surely ! both pi 1 ties have enough intelli j Repainting Patrol Cars. We haven’t published anything in these columns in a long time that .has brought forth the reaction which followed last week’s edito rial on “ How to Stop Highway Deaths,’’ The suggestion' offered in that editorial was to tbe effect that if all highway patrol cars were painted black or blue, so that thev couldn’t be distinguished from oth er automebiles on the highways, it would help to make all drivers more careful. For the most pa:t, our readers seem to agree with tbe position we took. Those who objected did on the grounds that “ I don t want a highway cop come sneaking up bebind me, or laying for me down a side road, while I'm driving over the state.” In reply to that criticism, we say that the law-abiding driver cannot possibly have any objection to bow many highway cop$ come sneaking up bebind him.

XTEW YORK--When OUver Stan- ’ ley left the British ministry of transport in July, 1934, he was suc ceeded by 36-year-old Leslie Hore- B e lis h a, a Oliver Stanley Simonite Iib- TVears Hard Hat e ra I. T hen On a Hard Head an^ thereafter, they en gaged in many brisk parries and sharp ripostes, masters of the foil rather than the quarterstaff, brisk and finished swordsmen both. Now it is the ultra-conservative Mr. Stanley who replaces Mr. Hore- BeUsha as war secretary, against a confused background, requiring more details for full understanding —at least at this distance. On October 8 of last year, Mr. Stanley offered his resignation as president of the British board of trade. At the time, it was indicated that Mr. Stanley had not found Prime Minister Chamberlain’s pros ecution of the war sufficiently ag gressive, but later reports were that he had revolted against the control of the government by an inner cab inet of four members. He was per suaded to withdraw his resigna tion. His political alliances have been with the conservative sec tion of the army, who vehement ly opposed the appointment of Mr. Hore-Belisha to the war of fice, early in 1937. Some of the “appeasement” wing of the Chamberlain government were bitter critics of Mr. Hore- Belisha’s subsequent army shakeup, in which he sent many oldsters back to their club chairs. It is possibly this cir cumstance which has led to con jecture that Mr. Stanley’s ap pointment foreshadows a new rapprochement between ex treme right elements in Eng land and Germany, the elimination of AdoIf Hitler and a new basis for peace. Mr. Stanley’s activities since Mu nich haven’t indicated that he is out for appeasement. _ However. Tliey Keep Trade Channels Open for Britain m Busiest craft in the European war are the British mine sweepers, whose duties it is to rid the seas ot those deadly weapons. Here vessels take up positions in an area suspected of having mines hidden below the surface. The mine cables are cut, causing them to rise to the surface. Sharpshooters then explode them. Inset: A sailor prepares to throw marking buoys overboard to indicate to vessels that the area has been swept clean of mines and is safe for shipping. To High Court.. Attorney General..

JOAN CRAWFORD is as popu lar as ever, judging by the welcome that she received from the fans when she arrived in New York not long ago for a brief vacation. She w as ac com panied by two dachshunds, Stinky, which is hers, and Pup- schen, which belongs to her ex- husband, Franchot Tone, with whom she is on the friendliest of term s. FetchingIy dressed when she ar rived, she rushed straight to her favorite milliner’s and ordered hats —all kinds of hats, rather goofy ones, the kind so many of her fans like to have her wear. Twentieth Century-Fox is going to film the history of radio, probably next fall, with Alice Faye and Don Ameche starring in a tale that will cover the development from crystal sets to television. Did you know that that dashing hero of the films, William Powell, wore a gray suit and a sweater to his own wedding? The bride took the occasion more seriously, sar torially: she wore a blue flowered print dress and a turban that & DIANA LEWIS matched it. But then, she hadn’t been married twice before! You’ll see her before long in “Forty'Little Mothers,” and you may have seen her on the screen already, without knowing it; as Diana Lewis she’s been just'one more promising young actress. She’s beautiful and talent ed, and acting is an old story to her—her parents used to be headliners in vaudeville. If the British government had been as eager to send David Niven to war as he was to go, he could have taken with him—and probably would have—a novel memento of Hollywood. It is the service cap which he wore in the role of a young English officer in “Dawn Patrol.” Louis Hayward, playing the role of an English captain in one of the sequences of “My Son, My Son!”, in which he has one of the top roles, drew an army cap from wardrobe. He noticed the initials “D. N.” in the band, and learned that it was Niven’s "Dawn Patrol” cap, so he bought it and sent it to his friend. Time was when a screen star couldn’t be sued for divorce and hope to carry on with her career. And although she planned to marry someone else as soon as she was free, she wouldn’t have said so as frankly as Vivian Leigh has. It seems likely that her studio would have been just as well pleased if her husband had not chosen to sue her while “Gone With the Wind” was still at the height of its glory, but she did so well in it that the publicity regarding her private life probably won’t keep the public from clamoring to see her in “Waterloo Bridge.” — $---- It’s not unusual to hear a few bars of “God Bless America” in traffic jams in New York these days. People look about and stare, and if they’re lucky they catch a glimpse of Kate Smith in the car whose horn startled them. A horn manufacturing company gave the horn to Miss Smith as a present; the driver just presses a button, and a bit of the patriotic song that she made fa mous rings out. Title to the title, “Buck Benny Rides Again,” has changed hands three times. When Benny’s authors, Morrow and Beloin, first used the idea it automatically became the property of the comedia, as does all their material. With characteristic generosity, Benny gave it back to the writers.Now they have sold the title to Paramount, the company for which they wrote Benny’s new picture.

M ake an Heirloom Crazypatch Q uilt By RIJTH WYETH SPEARS yT lHE oldest of quilt designs is the crazy patch, yet there is something amazingly modern in its angular lines. A variety of em broidery stitches join the pieces, of plain and figured silks. Sev eral colors of silk embroidery thread are generally used. When a number of patches, have been basted in place, sew them down to the foundation with the embroid ery stitches and then remove the bastings. The backing is tied to the front with silk embroidery thread as comforters are tied. Little or no padding may be used and a plain band around the edge is effective. NOTE: Mrs. Spears has pre pared patterns and directions for making three of her favorite Early American Quilt Blocks which she will mail upon receipt of name and address and 10 cents coin to cover cost. Her Sewing Booklet No. 2 contains illustrations for 42 embroidery stitches suitable for patch work quilts; also pattern with directions for making the framed picture embroidery sketched on the wall in illustration above. Also numerous gift items: mittens, neck ties; bags; table decorations; and 5 ways to repair fabrics. To get this book, send 10 cents in coin to Mrs. Spears, Drawer 10, Bedford Hills, New York.

We’ll wager that at very first peep at the new wash fabric show ings you will be convinced that there’s nothing in the world you so long to do this very minute as to set the spring sewing program in motion. Time was when buying cotton and other washable weaves was more or less of a gamble. In those days the shrink and fade bugaboo was for ever taking the joy out of life. Now in these modern times, because of scientific processing that carries with it a guarantee of non-fade and non-shrink, the “will it wash” query no longer challenges the patience- tried salesperson. It certainly is a grand and glori ous feeling for mothers to know that the dress they have so painstakingly made will not prove a case of “love's labor lost” in that hems won't have to be frantically let down nor sleeve lengths altered, neither will buttons have to be set over after the dress comes back from the wash. It’s a wise mother that asks for guaranteed wash ma terials to make up for her child. Then, too, little daughters come in for a share of good fortune in that no longer will they have to be submitted to the humiliating ordeal of wearing a dress bought, or made, that is a size too large in order to allow for shrinking. This year attractive broadcloths witli lloial overprinting are catch ing the eye. Add wcarablencss to then prcttiness and you will readily see why this fabric is so popular. Tailored printed shantung broad cloths and charming striped cottons in fast colors all preshrunk to keep their original fit permanently are selling fast as they can be meas ured off in dress lengths. If you are looking for wash mate rials that carry a promise of wear ability, washability, dependability and likability consider the dainty lit tle frocks pictured. Each is fash ioned of sanforized-shrunk fabric. The merry little three-year-old pic tured to the right wearing a broad cloth dress with floral overprinting is laughing at the thought of the cunning patch pockets that draw up and tie with pique cording. She is proud, too, that her dress ties in the back with a big bow of self fabric. The dress is trimmed with a pleating of pique around the neck and sleeves. Though the closing is in the back, there are three small red buttons down the front of the bodice. Sister Ann who sits in the window (centered in the group) wears a tailored shantung broadcloth dress trimmed with hand-fagoted, piqjie collar and cuffs. The dress for the "between” age, shown to the left, takes on some what of a party air. The soft blue and pink colorings of the floral striped broadcloth (so fine it has a sheen like silk) is delicate and be coming to blonde or brunette. There is a fashionable inset corselet belt, thus raising the waistline so that the skirt will swing gracefully if or when she dances. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Novel Knit Items ■IIR The idea of a sweater with a hood carries big appeal. This gay cardi gan is knit of a heavy yet soft yarn, and on large, needles so that the fetching checked pattern devel- opes magically fast. Such pretty combinations as red with white, black with vgreen, wine with post man blue are suggested. The solid colored hood is knitted separately. It may be worn either as a hood or a collar. The little headpiece be low is a streamlined version of the closefitting knitted hood. However, it eliminates all superfluous bulk, and is very attractive Costume Sweaters Spring Into Style A new type of sweater, which is neither a tailored sports style nor an elaborate evening affair, has sprung into fashion. These are the sweaters that combine with sepa rate skirts to make smart street frocks. They are most attractive when chosen in a color to match that of the skirt. Made of novelty knits and ribbed yams, they are notable for their unusual shoulder and yoke detail. Some of them have flapped pockets in the Schiaparelli manner with but tons of gold nuggets or shiny flat gold circles on the pocket flaps and down the front. Some of them fas ten with bright enameled or gold colored slide fasteners. Skating Ensemble Is Very Fetching A skating ensemble is made of soft white yam hand-embroidered with bright wool. There’s a snug white cardigan sweater with peas ant figures embroidered on panels on either side of the front open ing, and matching white mittens with a single design on their back. The close-fitting hood ties under the chin and has embroidered wings like a Dutch cap standing out on either side of the face. Picturesque Wraps Inspired by the picturesque fash ions of the South in Civil war days is the group of evening wraps shown by an American designer. Gray for Day and Evening From soft dove shades to dark gunmetal tones gray is an impor tant color for every sort of daytime and evening outfit. Suede Sports Jacket Fine stitching is the blouse-like de. tail borrowed by a fitted suede sports jacket to give it a dressy appearance. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAYlCHOOL L e s s o n By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.' Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 4 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. HOLDING LIFE SACRED LESSON TEXT—Genesis 1:27-31; I Corinthians 6:19, 20; n Corinthians 6:16-7:1.GOLDEN TEXT-Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. —I Corinthians 6:20. Moral action and right living can only be assured on the basis of right thinking. If our principles are right, our action will be sure and our life will be steady. Fundamental in our consideration of temperate living is a right understanding of life itself. Where did we come from? Whom do we resemble? What are the rul ing forces in life? To whom do we belong? If he gets these matters straight, any honest m-tn will come out .tight in his life decisions. I. Alan Was Created in the Image of God (Gen. 1:27-31). “God created man” — so says Scripture, and all the forces of in fidelity and unbelief have not been able to break down that simple statement. The creation story of Genesis stands and will stand. Let no critic of God’s Word, no spinner of human philosophies, however plausible, take that assurance from you. The important point for our lesson is the fact that God created man in His own image; in other words, made him an intelligent, moral and spiritual being. It takes a very gullible person indeed to believe the theory (which, by the way, has nev er been proved) that man has evolved from some elementary sub stance by way of the animal into his present high estate. Man came from the hand of God ready to take dominion over the earth (w. 28-30), able to name all the animals (Gen. 2:19, 20), and above all, capable of fellowship with God. Little won der that God declared His creation with man as its crown to be “very good” (1:31). Remember that you are God’s cre ation and that you bear His likeness and you will have a high regard for your life. You will guard it, develop it, and above all you will commit it in glad surrender to God through Jesus Christ. II. The Believer Is Indwelt by the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 6:19, 20). Redemption at the great price of Jesus’ blood not only makes the be liever belong to God (v. 20), but also makes his body the temple of the Holy Spirit. When the child of God grasps that truth, his attitude toward his body and toward his life which it bears is revolutionized. Since the third person of the blessed Trinity dwells in me, I will not abuse, neglect, or misuse my body. I will not take it to places where the in dwelling Spirit would not go. I will not use it or any of its mem bers to do anything which does not honor God. On the other hand, I will yield it without delay and with out reservation to the Holy Spirit and count on Him to empower and use it for God’s glory. The writer wishes to bear testi mony that when this truth laid hold of him, even years after he was con verted, it changed his whole life. It can do the same for every Chris tian who reads these lines. And what about the unbeliever? He can ac cept Christ right now and at once the Holy Spirit will indwell him too. Why not? HI. The Believer Should Live a Separated Life (II Cor. 6:16-7:1). We have fallen upon evil days when it seems to be assumed by Christian people that only certain individuals in the Chmch are called to a life of separation from worldli ness. Men seem to say, “The preacher? Of course! The deacon? Oh, yes! The elders? Yes! The trus tees? Well, not necessarily. Church members? Well, some do and some don’t.” It is felt that it is just a matter of choice or of disposition, and that the failure to live such a separated life is really no reflection on one’s spirituality. That erroneous view must have come directly from the devil him self. Christian man or woman, will you listen to Satan or to Gad’s Word? Read again II Corinthians 6:16, 17. Note the blessed promise in verse 18, and then heed the ad monition in 7:1, “Dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and. spirit, per fecting holiness in the fear of God.” As Christians, our response to such an admonition should be immediate and complete. The command and the invitation are to you, Christian friend. If you will respond, there will be a re vival in your own heart, and if all those who read these lines will re spond to God’s invitation and ad monition, there will be a revival in thousands of churches all over America this wegjt. Why not? Friends • You cannot keep your friends un less you learn to keep your temper. And if you wish others to enjoy your company you must see that you are a cheerful companion.
