June 24. Minority Leader Joseph Martin of, Massachu­ setts has been selected to preside as permanent convention chairman. Selection of forthright, personable Governor Stassen as convention key­ noter and temporary chairman, was regarded in Republican circles - as. a victory’for the party’s progressive element. Six feet three inches tall and heavily huilt, he reached his thirty third birthday only last Sat* urday. He was elected governor in a Repablicancomeback in his state in 1938 and is running for reflection this fall. . i In some ways Stassen’s early life parallels that of his party’s “patron saint.^'A&rafoara Lincold..

Sergeant York May Make Congress Race. Sergeant Alvin York, of Pall Mall, Teon., who was one of the greatest of all American heroes tn tbe World War,' is seriously cor- templating running for Congress on a platform designed to keep tbena. tion from entering the European war. It was some 55 years ago that tbe big, broad shouldered noun taineer threw a rifle over his should­ er and marched to a recruii ing of ficer to join the armv and fight for democracy. He went oi’er seas with the 82nd division and became famous one winter night in the Ar- gonne forest when be captured mote than 100 Gt-rman soldiers single handed. A few mouths later the Armis­ tice was signed and York came bick to the United States t<f be ac­ claimed a hero. . Congress awarded him the Cohgiessiona1 M dal rf Houor. He was cheered and feted. But soon he went back to his bcme in the Tennessee hills, married a native mountain girl and dropped from public.sight Now York wants to run for Cor gress and use his influence to pre­ vent the United States from enter­ ing another “war to end wars.’’ “l am seriously considering mak­ ing the race,” be said, “but have nnt decide ) definitely yet.” • York dedared that thi United States states should stay out of. tbe present war but should be strong In national defense. If York does make the race, he will oppose Rep. Albert Gore, D., Teno., who is representing the 4 th Tennessee congressional district. York claims credit for helping the people of his community in many ways during the past 20 years. He bad led the fight for new roads and new public schools, He has organised and built his own Bible scbool in Pall Mall, Tenn., where the teaching of evolution is barred Tbe principal thing wbicb stands in tbe way of his making the race, York said,' is tbe' Hollywood pro ject to make a .motion picture of .bis IifeJ Producer Jesse L.

We’re not interested at the mom­ ent in tbe movies about which they are enthusiastic, or their current opinion of tbe next'door neighbors. We" have a more general and a more important question in micd: Wbat are people—Americans we mean—thinking about tbls Ameri- ci of ours? To those who seek an answer, two recent magazine surveys make fascinating reading. Cne was con­ cerned with the opinion of Ameri­ cans in general, of all types aqd classes. The other dealt with a group whose opinion will be so im­ portant in the near future, tbe youth of the nation. Hete’s a brief summary of the findings in these two surveys: The first conducted shows that the (epressiot) of the “thirties” hasn’t damage the American spirit.. It indicated that a majority of A. mericans of all groups, “thiuk they are better prepared to succeed than their parents were, that their chances of success are better, and that their son’s chances will be still oetter. And “seventy per cent fclt' that tbey have an obligr-tion to pass on to the next geneiation: better living-and social conditions, a high­ er standard of citizenship, ,more education, belt *r health ” Th t ei’Conrauing news about toe whole hoHy of Americans, But what about young people? Don't we hear it Iriqnently maintained tb-'t youth looks upon the present wi'h a jsrundicd eye? Tais situation was investigated asking a number ot question a- ■bong high school hcys and giils. And here the gust ot thrir replies: 'We have confidence in Oor- sei’'es, plare real value on our ta’- ents, and have faitb in he -utu eof onr conntrv.” Nine out of those questioned be­ lieved that tbe best cure for indi­ vidual nnem'ilov inent 0. for •" job in which thev didn’t fit was further preparation on tbeir own part. Faith in one’s o«vn ability and t ie recognition of opportunity have always been the two main charac­ teristics of Americans. They have accounted for our remarkable pro­ gress in times past. In the light of tbese two surveys and what they show concerning Americans of all types, there is no reason why we should not look forward to continu­ ed progress in the years ttut he im­ mediately ahtad.

JHAPTEB I —I— The bright disc of flashlight moved over the rough pine paneling of the door, found and illum inated Uie key­ hole under the latch. G abriella G ra­ ham , fitting the key into the lock, knew th at her fingers w ere trem ­ bling. “It w orks," she said with forced composure, then, expectancy in her voice and oddly, too, a m uted note of reluctance, she added a little breathlessly, “K ate, we’re here!” “So I presum ed.” There was no expectancy in K ate Oliver’s pleas­ antly drawling voice, only weari­ ness, characteristic hum or, a casual acceptance of life’s little surprises. “I agree with you, though,” she continued. “It does, a t the m oment, appear to be a notable achieve­ m ent. Like scaling the Alps, for instance. I feel as though I had scaled an Alp. I’m practically par­ alyzed all over.” “Poor K ate!” Gay said, but the words, absently spoken, held m ore of personal preoccupation than sym­ pathy for her companion. “Never m ind,” she added, still absently, but in a tone of w arm affection. “We’ll have a fire and food pretty soon." “I can use both,” K ate said feel­ ingly. “How are the beds?” K ate w as aw are of her hesitancy. “Give m e the flashlight,” she said. “I’ll go ahead.” Gay’s glance turned quickly, re­ sentfully. “Why should you?” she asked a trifle sharply. “No reason,” K ate replied with unshaken good hum or. “Ju st trying to be helpfuL It’s an irritating hab­ it. I didn’t m ean to im ply th at you m ight be frightened.” “Of course you did.". G ay's low, clear laugh w as a plea for forgive­ ness. “I’m not, though,” she added.' She would not adm it m isgivings, not. even to K ate, who, during this tir­ ing trip to the cabin in M aine had been disarm ingly incurious, re­ sourceful, am using. People got at you if you let your defenses down. She pushed the door wide open and stepped inside. The tem perature of the room w as w arm er than the air outside, as though there'd been a fire, she thought fleetingly and dis­ m issed the idea as absurd. The cab­ in had been closed for three years, since Uncle John died. Not very securely closed, though. The pale rectangles in the wall w ere win­ dows. Shouldn’t there have been som ething—shutters, boarding, per­ haps?' A question, startling in im ­ plication, just touched the edge of her m ind— “I* th at a wood-range?” K ate asked. “ Yes,” Gay replied. “Do you think we can m anage it?” “Certainly,” K ate said with confi­ dence. “On second thought, though, who cuts the wood?” “We’ll buy it cut or have a boy out from tiie village." “That relieves m y m ind. I'm not so good with an ax.” K ate pressed against Gay’s shoul­ der to look into the room. “W hat’s the apparatus for?” she asked in an interested voice. The flashlight disclosed a table with a porcelain top on which w ere jars, test-tubes, an object which m ight be an alcohol stove, an as­ sortm ent of bottles. The built-in bed w as neatly spread with blan­ kets. There w ere no other furnish­ ings except a straight wooden chain “Strange odor,” K ate said, sniff­ ing. “Sm ells like a hospital or a chem ist shop.” ’!Something Uncle John left, I sup­ pose,” Gay said entirely at ran­ dom . “ Fluids for developing films, perhaps,” she added slowly. “He w as interested in photography. He had a great m any hobbies.” The explanation appeared to sat­ isfy K ate. She m ade no further com m ent. It did not satisfy Gay though on the surface it w as plaus­ ible. Uncle John had been interest­ ed in photography. B ut would the odor have rem ained in the room far three years? Wouldn’t the fluids in the bottles insecurely covered with circles of gauze have evaporated during the tim e th at the cabin had been closed? And w hat had test- tubes to do with kodak films? Again, and with 'g reater -insistence, the question startling in intim ation forced its way into her m ind. “ These are the living quarters.” Gay turned the light through a sec­ ond door opening from the kitchen a t right angles to the first. The no­ tion w as absurd, she told herself steadyingly. The cabin w as her per­ sonal property free from restric­ tions or reservations. “Com pact and convenient No elevators, no stairs to dlm b. Living-room, drawing­ room; dining-room all-in one,” she concluded. “W hat, no breakfast-nook?” Kate asked in mock-dismay. “We’ll have our m eals on the porch if it isn’t too cold. Do you suppose it will be?” Gay’s voice rip­ pled on, not waiting for K ate to re­ ply. “The w eather was beautiful in Septem ber. I wasn’t here this late in the month, though. That w as the fall M other put m e in school in Switzerland while she w as in Paris. It was lovely here when I left. The leaves were just beginning to turn and the air was like wine.” She had thought—H er expectancy, the strength of her desire to return, seem ed absurd, now, rom antic, in­ credibly naive. Gay stood, con­ scious of fatigue, acknowledging dis­ appointment, in the fram e of the open door. Uncle John w as dead. She was no longer fifteen, a tall, ardent child with dream s and half- r Gay’s glance scorned so craven a suggestion. glim psed realities m ingling to veil her perceptions in a roseate m ist. S x years separated her from the sum m er she had spent at the cabin, six crowded years filled w ith com­ plexities of which she had, then, been unaw are, the six im portant years which had produced the Ga- briella she w as at twenty-one. She should have known. It was futile to attem pt to recapture a lost emotion, sad to go back . . . “Are there lights?” K ate asked. “Of course.” The m ist of intro­ spection cleared. Gay felt K ate watching her, knew th at K ate w as aw are of some preoccupation with­ held and unshared. H er fingers groped against the wall beside the door. Then she laughed, a clear am used laugh of candid surprise. “There’s no electricity,” she said. "K erosene lam ps, m y friend.” “Will there be kerosene? We should have gotten a supply a t the store." “I forgot the light-situation.” Gay m oved away from the door. “Keep your fingers crossed and I’ll see.” There was oil in the lam p on the table. A box of m atches lay con­ veniently at hand. Gay placed the flashlight on the table so that its beam cut in a horizontal shaft across the room. As she rem oved the shade from the lam p her eyes traveled along the bar of light, saw in the clear circle against the hearth a pair of m uddy boots. “There’s oil,” she said when the © MACRAE SMITH C a sudden quick beating of her heart had quieted a little. The clearing m ist of abstraction vanished. Though her attention was fixed upon the dif­ ficult business of striking a m atch, she still saw very clearly the boots upon the hearth. “Good!” Kate said from the dark­ ness near the door. “B etter luck than we deserve.” Gay tipped the chimney, applied the flame of the m atch to the wick. They were high boots with lacings, the sort that woodsmen wore, and the m ud that caked them was fresh. It had been raining all day. The lane had been soft with mud. “The wick is trim m ed, too,” she said, playing for tim e in which to adjust her mind to this unexpected situation, searching for an explana­ tion, not wanting, just yet, to share her discovery with Kate. '"H m m m l” Kate said with curious em phasis. “The bridegroom com- eth!” “W hat?” The china shade, strik­ ing the chimney, m ade a clattering sound very loud in the quiet room. Gay set it securely in the thin branching prongs. “Bridegroom ?” she repeated. “There’s something in the Bible about bridegroom s and wicks and oil,” K ate said in casual explana­ tion. “N ever m ind. My rectory past will pop up now and then. Tactless of m e to have mentioned bridegroom s. I ’m sorry.” The circle of flam e in the lam p steadied and brightened. Gay raised her head. Through the mellow light she saw K ate walking tow ard her, an am used expression in her eyes under the brim of a dark felt h at which, on K ate, looked both dis­ reputable and debonaire. She turned aw ay, puzzling over K ate's com­ m ent, not quite understanding the skeptical expression deepening the lines around K ate’s., twinkling eyes. D id'K ate think—? “There’s a fire laid ready for lighting.” She knelt on. the hearth, deliberately ignoring both the com­ m ent and the ready explanation. “We won’t need m ore wood tonight. Will you hand m e the m atches, please?” “Sheer m agic," K ate skid dryly. “Alice-in-W onderland and the Arabi­ an Nights. Oil in the lam ps, a fire laid—or m aybe wish-fulfillment did it. Anyway, I’m not kicking." Gay took the box of m atches with­ out m eeting K ate’s glance. The im ­ plication, now, w as perfectly clear. K ate thought—Astonishm ent sharp­ ened into indignation. She resented having her m otives questioned. A denial sprang to her lips. She forced back the words. Never deny or ex­ plain. People got at you if you let your defenses down, she rem inded herself again. In affronted silence she ignited the shavings beneath the pyram id of wood'. “Our guardian angel has slipped up, though,” K ate said still in a tone of skeptical am usem ent. "These boots certainly won’t fit ei­ ther you or m e.” H er voice altered. “Who is it, G ay?” she asked with a directness which could no longer be evaded. “I don’t know.” “Someone is living here.” “Obviously.” "Who is it?” K ate repeated. " I told you I didn’t know.” Gay watched sm all active flames licking up against the logs. W as she telling Uie truth? K ate watched Gay rise, swiftly, grace­ fully, from her kneeling position on the. hearth. She had no reason to doubt her, she thought, backing up to the w arm th of the fire. In the roster of Gay’s sbort-comings, a dis- WNU SERVICE regard “for the truth was not listed stm — “What are you going to do about it?” she asked m ore casually than she felt. Gay paused in her progress across the room . “Do about it?” she asked. “I just wondered.” K ate rocked back and forth from her heels to her toes on the field-stone hearth. She was observing, irrelevantly, the tm- conscious air of assurance with which Gay carried herself, thinking how trim she looked, in spite of two days and a night on the road, in the dark tailored suit which em pha­ sized the grace of her long slender legs, the breadth of her shoulders, the rounded slenderness of her body. Ah, youth! She, herself, probably looked like a scare-crow , a p a rtie s larly attenuated and angular one. Not th at it m attered.The inw ard sigh which followed the thought w as phil­ osophical rather than envious. “I don’t necessarily insist th at we get out of here pretty quick,” she con­ tinued, still carefully casual. “It’s an idea, though. To quote your Aunt Flora, it m ight be advisable, perhaps.” Gay’s glance scorned so craven a suggestion. “We will not," she said with spirited em phasis. “This cabin belongs to m e.” She pulled off her hat, tossed it on the couch, ran her fingers through the flattened red-brown waves of her hair. “I’ve no intention of being dispossessed, if th at’s the phrase. You m ight as well take off your bonnet and shawL We’re going to stay.” “There’d be no accom modations in the village, I suppose,” she said tentatively. “An inn o r a tourist cam p—Ju st for tonight—” “In Northfield?” Gay laughed. “Heavens, no!” “And it’s a long way back to Ma- chias.” “Twenty m iles.” Gay w as light­ ing a second lam p on the table be­ hind the couch. “Have you forgot-' ten," she asked, “ the condition of the road?” K ate w as a little abashed to feel a not unpleasant thrill of excitem ent tingling sham elessly up her spine. After a sum m er a t “ Dunedin,” the G raham estate on the Hudson, any­ thing in the nature of an “escapade” w as enlivening. ( TO BE CONTINUED) Deaf People Lack Care GivenQther Handicapped D r.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—'WNU Service.) M E W YORK.—One bright, sunny ’ day in July, 1920, King Chris­ tian X of Denm ark, m ounted on a beautiful white horse, led his troops 3 C F O S S ft M ilita ry F orce boundary line Is N ew P ro b lem to reclaim the lost to the Germ ans in 1864. Den- knark had been crippled in the World w ar, suffering m uch m ore than Nor­ w ay and Sweden, but somehow she had m anaged to save her little king­ dom . The king, addressing a cheer­ ing throng, hailed the organization of international law and order, un­ d er which sm all nations could live in peace. The king, who is six feet, six inches tall, the tallest m an in his kingdom, recruited a guard of the tallest and handsom est young m en he could find, but none so tall as he. They w ere gorgeously uniform ed and the cerem ony of the changing of the guard m ight have been read­ ied by Franz Lehar. But m any tim es, the king rem inded his people th at all this was m erely appropri­ ate cerem onial, and that D enm ark’s safety lay in keeping in the van­ guard of civilization, and not in arm ed forces. L ast sum m er, under great nerv­ ous tension, he seam ed to feel that the pozers of darkness w ere clos­ ing in, and suffered a serious ill­ ness. Today, with the fate of Den­ m ark resolved in far-ranging and desperate issues, the old king, near­ ing 70, yields to the inevitable. The New world structure of law and or­ der has fallen and Denm ark is one of m any casualties. At the age of 28, Christian m ar­ ried Alexandrine, princess of Meck- lenburg-Schwerin. When he was crowned in May, 1912, the Danish populace was prepared to dislike him , descendant of an alien dynasty as he was, and there were some overt dem onstrations against him. But he won his people with his fur­ therance of a liberal, constitutional government. Although he was trained as an arm y officer, and had a liking for m ilitary pomp, he fre­ quently denounced, m ilitarism and opposed efforts to get his tiny coun­ try goose-stepping and arm ing. While he w as proud of having the tallest and m ost resplendent guard in Europe, he slipped a way from his bodyguards at every opportunity and enjoyed trem endously bicycling around Copenhagen, unattended. Into the ruck with Denm ark’s gains of two decades goes what probably has been the world’s, m ost succes- ful state-sponsored industrial and agricultural co-operation. t|:.. ♦ ■ ii EMIL HURJA, big, Babe Ruthian political statistician and preci- sionist, who greatly aided the early New Deal by charting the public . . . • w drift, is nowP o litica l F ield an ally of U tG old M ine’ the G arnet T oE m U H urja S ity w U h ' assaying in the gold fields inspired his system of getting the mill-run of public sentim ent.

VALEN­ TINE of the Los Angeles Superior court conducted an iihportant trial recently—not in court, however, and the judge wore overalls instead of his ju­ dicial robes. The issue at stake was wheth­ er or not he still retained his skill as a locomotive engineer. The scene was a movie location set, and the stars of “Torrid Zone” Comprised the jury. Itseems that years ago the judge was a railw ay engineer, and when he learned that an old-time locomotive would be run over its own private track on the m ovie location, the jurist accepted the invitation of the location m an­ ager—also a form er engineer—to put the train through its paces. With P at O’Brien and Andy De- vine in the cab, His Honor took the driver’s seat, tugged the w histle cord and opened the throttle. He m ade the two-mile run in six m in­ utes flat, cheered on by his two pas­ sengers. If you liked “Topper” and "Top. per Takes a Trip” you’ll probably be delighted with “Turnabout," by the sam e author.

She is an avid squash fan, so she advertised in a new spaper for fem inine partners, and received no replies. B ut Ona didn’t let th at stop her. She was determ ined to play squash—and play squash she does, with m en. The Men’s University Club in Hollywood has an ironclad rule—“No Women Allowed.” She’s an exception.

Inspired by the am azing cottons and linens and spun rayons and kindred weaves at their com m and, design­ ers are turning out w ash apparel that is w riting a thrilling chapter in fashion history. Now that we have com e to recog­ nize the adaptability of m odem washables to every phase of all­ purpose w ear, ranging from the most casual, utilitarian and infor­ mal to form al occasion, wom en who understand the a rt of dress are feel­ ing the urge to plan their w ardrobe entirely from play and w orkaday clothes to form al dinner gowns and party frocks in term s of sm art w ash m aterials. To tell of the m ultitudinous wash fabrics producers are turning out this season would be a task in vain. However, there are highspots th at deserve m ention. T here are the cotton gabardines in delectable pas­ tels that tailor beautifully for slack suits and sports frocks. Crinkled seersuckers have taken a new lease on life. You can get them in sturdy weave or so exquisitely sheer they will prove a delight for sum m er wear. As to the new piques so high­ ly im portant this season, you won’t be able to resist the eyelet em broid­ ered versions. The printed piques, too, are lovely. As to the fascinating cham brays now so modish (be sure to m ake a note of cham bray for it is trem en­ dously im portant) the new er types have been refined to a degree of nicety in touch, texture and lovely coloring th at m akes them not to be resisted. The sam e m ay be said of dimities (in dem and for both _ for­ m ats and inform als), there is a crispness about m odern types that adds sprightliness to the m ode. When you see the dainty afternoon and party frocks fashioned of sw eet­ ly feminine Jennie Lind m uslins th at strew wee flowerets in a pretty confusion of colors over a sheer background, it’s a safe guess you will be indulging in m ore than one of these gay little flatterers. We m ust not forget to call attention to the stunning huge plaids of sheer texture. These are designs to go anyw here and everyw here this sum ­ m er. When you sta rt out in quest of w ashable cotton or spun rayon prints keep in m ind th at the sm art­ est this season are in gray and white, especially the new polka dots which are all Uie rage this season. Yellow and gray prints are als4 in high fashion. Another interesting feature brought out a t the w ash apparel show held in Chicago this spring w as the im portance of stripes. Stripes of every conceivable inter­ pretation from high-colored gypsy and candy stripes to fetching stripes in pastels, also floral stripes and other novelty stripes were stressed throughout the entire pro­ gram of voguish w ashables. The working of stripes in clever design has becom e a fascinating pastim e with designers. Note how artfully stripes have been juggled for the dress pictured to the left in the illustration. This attractive m odel is fashioned of a woven spun rayon in pencil stripe. The pockets and front panel reveal a diagonal working of stripes. To the right in the group, candy stripes of rough weave turf cloth in striking colors are' m anipulated to advantage with the result of achiev­ ing a m ost pleasing back view as well as being attractively styled throughout. The girl seated in the foreground has on a frock th at boasts a circu­ la r sk irt and the new corselet treat­ m ent a t the w aistline. The m a­ terial for this dress is a spun rayon sport print th at subscribes very ef­ fectively to the vogue for novelty stripes.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lace-Panel Gloves Gloves this season are in a highly decorative mood. Even the sim ­ plest gloves for general w ear are apt to be tucked or shirred or other­ wise cunningly furbelowed. The eight-inch rich I1Siyon K ayspun glove designed by N atascha as here pic­ tured eloquently interprets the pres­ en t trend tow afd decorative detail, Which iri’.this instance is expressed in a heavy lace panelling up the sides. The accompanying bag has the sam e lace applied as the long gloves. This very chic twosome of bag and gloves is available in white, black or navy. Flowered Toes Spring flowers in pastel colors are painted over the toes to grace the new est stockings for evening w ear. Obviously designed for open-toed slippers, they are an intriguing as well as a decorative touch. Print Ensemble Is Season’s Favorite Full-length wool coats lined, with a silk print to m atch an accompany­ ing dress are seen in both casual and form al afternoon ensem bles. In the casual group is a red silk print dress with an all around pleated skirt accented with pleated pocket flaps on skirt and bodice. This is topped by a fitted navy wool coat buttoned from neck to hem , and lined with the print of the dress. A m ore form al ensem ble employs a P ersian pattern silk print for the dress, with a gently flared skirt and softly draped and ruffled bodice. The accom panying full-length prin­ cess coat of gray wool has elaborate trapunto em broidery on the sleeves and bodice. Print Sheers Are Smart for Spring Shtdes of gray and white are printed in a plaid form ation on a sheer dress and jacket ensem ble ad­ m irably'suited to spring • luncheon or an afternoon’s shopping in town. The jacket is long and fitted and boasts two pocket flaps on either side. T te neckline is trim m ed with a jabot of frothy w hi|p organdy. Fink roses printed on white for the bodice, and on black for the skirt, are the m otif for an afternoon dress of soft chiffon. A detachable apron of the pink and black print ties on over Oie skirt with a wide sash and bow to m ake it even m ore dressy. ---------IMPROVEDUNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY! cHooL U e s s o n By HAROLD L.

ISAIAH GIVES GOD’S INVITATION LESSON TEXT—Isaiah 55:1-11. GOLDENytEXT—Seek ye the Lord while Ae may be found, call ye upon Um while he is near.—Isaiab 55:6. Thirsty? A thousand signboards will tell you what to drink to refresh yourself. M ost of the suggestions are there only to get your money, and often their proffered lift is a push downward and their refresh­ m ent is only a prelude to destruc­ tion. But they do declare th at thirst is universally present. Throughput the Bible thirst is used to express m an’s need of and longing for God. He is a spiritual being m ade in the likeness and image, of God and in­ tended for fellowship with Him. N ever will he be fully satisfied until he comes to God and m eets his hun­ ger and thirst with th at “which is good.” The invitation of Isaiah is present­ ed under the figure of a purchase, “ Come ye, buy.” In carrying out th at thought we suggest that there are four steps in buying and using anything. I. Listen (v. I). “Ho, everyone that tnirsteth.” This is as Spurgeon says “the cry of a salesm an at a fair.” Amid the confusing sounds and disturbing sights surrounding his custom er the salesm an m ust m ake him self known and catch the interest of his cus­ tom er. The latter m ust listen to the offer and the recom m endation of the things for sale. This is an unusual offer. Isaiah invites the buyer to m ake his pur­ chase “without money and without price.” Does that m ean that the thing for sale is cheap or worthless? F a r from it, for it is priceless. Sal­ vation is free for the sinner, but it cost God the price of His only begot­ ten Son. It is because Jesxu paid the price of redem ption that we m ay have it freely without cost. n . Compare (w . 2-5). A good shopper com pares values lest he m ake a bad bargain or buy that for which he has no real need. W hat is the situation of the one who is invited to buy what God offers? H e is a sinner who has been fool­ ishly seeking to satisfy him self with w hat the world has to offer. With m oney he has tried to buy happi­ ness, contentm ent, recognition. Tlie bread of this world will never satisfy and the w ater of this world only in­ creases one’s thirst. (See John 4: 13,14.) Com pare w hat God has to offer, “that which is good,” th at which delights the sold (v. 2). H ere is life (v. 3) assured by the prom ise of One who m ade an "everlasting covenant” with David, assuring him of His “sure m ercies.” It results in ultim ate glory (v. 5). The one who honestly m akes such a com parison is quickly satisfied th at the tim e has come to I n . Buy (w . 6-9). Penniless, the sinner m ay “buy” without money. He m ay call upon God, for God has already called him. He m ay seek God, because He like the good shepherd has been out seek­ ing the lost sheep (M att. 18:12). While m an can certainly not save him self, there are things which God expects the sinner to do. F irst, he is to “seek the Lord.” Where? R ight a t your side, sinner, for “he is near” (v. 6). Then when the sin­ ner m eets the Lord he is . a t once conscious of his sin. W hat shall he do with it? Forsake it in both thought and deed (v. 7) and God will “abundantly pardon.” Observe th at m en m ay by their sinful rejec­ tion of H im bring them selves to the place w here they not only do not listen to God’s call, but actually do not w ant to hear it. "Seek ye the Lord while he m ay be found” (v. 6). IV. Enjoy (w . 10,11). Some foolish folk buy things and put them away w here neither they nor anyone else can enjoy them-. Some worry so m uch about the price they paid or are so concerned about the preciousness of the thing pur­ chased th at they find no pleasure in using it. Salvation is not a thing to be hidden or put on a shelf. In fact, it is not a thing at all, but a life. It is to grow, to bud, to blossom and to bear fruit. How? B ybeingready to receive God’s Word which com es down like the rain from the heavens, refreshing, encouraging, and fructi­ fying the life of the believer. God’s Word never returns to Him void. He prospers it to accomplish His own purpose. B ut pray tell m e, if we never study: it or even read it, how can it help our lives? We “ grow in grace” only-as we grow, “ in the knowledge of our- Lord and Saviour Jesus C hrist” (II P et. 3:18). We grow in knowledge as we study God’s W ord. T husw ecom etoenjoy our C hristian life. Healing Pow ers T here cam e also a m ultitude out of the cities round about unto Jeru­ salem , bringing sick folks, and them which w ere vexed with unclean spir­ its and they w ere healed every one. —A cts 5:16. CHOCOLATE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE AN DNUSUAI. DESSERT (See Becipes Below) Spring Menus Planning m eals can be fun, if you’ll let your im agination and your conscience be your guides! M eal planning does require im agination and a bit of originality, too, if you don’t w ant the responsibility of three .m eals a day to be ) a bore, and three : m eals a day with­ o u t th at touch of ,“ som ething" dif­ fe re n t can be bor- ,ing—to you as w ell as to your 'fam ily! A m eal ■m ay be properly a n d c a re fu lly “balanced” from the standpoint of proteins and carbohydrates and vita­ m ins and m inerals—and still be a 'drab and uninteresting affair. . That seem s to be particularly true in spring, when appetites are likely .to be jaded, and you seem to be ,running out of m enu ideas. And 'that’s exactly the tim e to try some­ thing different, a little trick to add newness and interest to soups; a tasty and ,unusual m eat dish; and a salad or dessert th at m akes use of som e of the refreshing spring vege­ tables and fruits. : . Ju stfo r variety, for instance, when I w ant to serve hot soup as the first 'course of a m eal, I com bine equal p arts of canned consom m ejand to­ m ato juice, sim m er the resulting m ixture for about 5 m inutes w ith a bay leaf for flavor, and serve it very hot with a spoonful of salted whipped cream sprinkled with chopped chives or green onion tops. And I serve green onions and crisp, succulent radishes in place of the 'relishes I’ve used all w inter. I use irhubarb for sauce or for dessert, .just as soon as the price com es down .within reach of m y budget; I shred .young carrots, or cut them in thin 'slivers, and cook them with an equal am ount of onion, sliced fine; drain them and season w ith salt, pepper ;and butter. Or I cook carrots and potatoes together and m ash them ju st as I would for m ashed potatoes, to serve w ith the rich brown gravy of a pot roast. H ere are three spring m enus that I like.

Strnhm D ean, In te rn a tio n a l C orre tp o n dtnte Sehoob OTHER things than the tech­ niques ot engineering long bore been considered important in the education for that profession. Many leaders ot the profession have been outspoken, insisting that, a more liberal viewpoint be adopt­ed in training and background. Dr. C. R. Mann of the Camegie Foun­dation tabulated more than 1,500 replies from practicing engineers to wbom he addressed the question: "W hat are .the essential qualities ot ai successful engineer?” The results showed an average estimate of 41 per cent character, 17.5 per cent judgment, 14.5 per cent efficiency, 14 per cent understanding of hu­ man natnre, and 13 per cent tech­ nical knowledge.There has been much agitation directed at broadening the curricu­ lum. During the last two decades' there was hardly an engineering college in the country which did not materially reduce the technical content of its curricula In favor ot more economics, political science, and literature. It is no longer, possible Jn the school and college course to do a complete Job in preparing young men in both engineering and tech­nical training. Both the engineer and the technician are needed. Many a boy who has talent for us­ ing tools mistakenly believes that he has aptitude for engineering. Aptitude in mathematics, reasoning power, imagination and physics are tar more likely to denote engineer­ ing talent. Careen in Engineering B y R . T .

For Instance, the civil en­ gineer may devote, his efforts to surveying and mapping; or he may turn to highway and railway en­ gineering in the design, planning^ location, construction and main­ tenance of roadways, bridges, cul­ verts, tunnels and grades. He may find that his Interests lean toward the building ot hydroelectric dams, draining swamp lands, irrigating desert areas, deepening the chan­nels of rivers and harbors, con­ structing reservoirs and canals; or he may specialize in sanitary en­ gineering.

Campaign Expenses. The Charity and Childred:— We have no idea how much the candidates for Governor are spend­ ing on their campaigns. We ate rather glad that we do not. We did hear a man say a good many years ago that he had set aside $10,- 000 for his campaign. That .was years ago. We guess it is much more expensive today. We are not even thinking of buying votes Ori sending men to the graveyard at night for names. We are think­ ing of the amount of money these men are spending and are compell­ ed to spend in order to get them­ selves and their cause before the people. We are receiving through the mails right much printed mat* ter. We know something of the CObt of having that matter printed and mailed. There is not one of them who can afford to conduct his campaign without large expendi­ tures. They have about taken over the Sir Walter Hotel in Raleigh for the duration of the campaign. That means money and a lot it. Each man has set tip a statewide organ­ ization or is setting up such an or­ ganization. North Carolina is a big state and there are 100 coun­ ties in it. It is costing a lot. of money to organize every county in the state. The sad pa-t is that all except one is putting that money in it. But such is democracy. Citi­ zens of 100 counties are going to vote for some one and it is certain that they are not going for a man of whom they have never ,heard. They have a right to know the man for whom they vote. As a matter of fact the job of Governot is one whale of ]ob. It should be and will be filled by a big man who not only should be/ known by the people for when he is elected they will be his people. Weonly hope that Jthe gentlemen who are run ning will net accept monev from j any man or organization if the ac­ ceptance will interfere with his1 after-freedom. That Grain of Salt. The editor of the Andalusia (Ala.) Star has figured but a right plausible reason why we should take European war: reports, with , a grain of. salt. . Hear him: “Just toi. keep you from thinking that Germany in winning; the war, may we suggest that the news fav­ oring Germany is ptrmttied to come through the British censorship be­ cause the Allies know tlirt it is good propaganda for them for the impression to get around in A. merica that Germanjfjmigbt win the war. England and France are doing a let more to Germany through their blockade thain the public is permitted to know.” However, that kind of a pro­ gram might bring a kick-back. Bri­ tain is engage in a titanic struggle to oust German forces from Nor­ way, and-in the full knowledge that, failure to succeed in this effort most certainly will have an un­ favorable effect on other, small ueu. tials who would be discouraged in any resistance to further German advances. Presentingtbedarkside of the picture to them would "be psychological folly. Maybe that’s why the conflicting reports are sat­ urated' with tales of' victories that are not always confirmed; maybe the the Allies are in a more des­ perate fix than even we are led. to believe.—Statesville Daily. The oldest newspaper in the world is *he Tching-Pao, or Peip­ ing Gazettei which has lived 1,023 years and is. still being published. Eight hundred of . its' editors; are said to have been beheaded for printing articles that displeased the authorities, MAYBE You Can Mat* Monty WiiKout ADVERTISING- Dishonesty In High Position. Support to th e often heard charge that there is a lack of hon­ esty among men in high position in both public and private life .seems to be constantly reflected in daily newspapers throughout the country.: During the past year a ranking fed­ eral judge went to prison for sell Ing the favors of his positien; Kan* sas, City, Mo , officials, both high and -low, were proved guilty of fla­ grant violations of their public, trust, while federal investigators uncovered case aftsr case of cor­ ruption among machine politicians in Louisiana. In the above caies the offending office holders have been found out and purged, either by the courts, or the electorate. A recent case un­ covered in Louisville, Ky., is more significant, because it conceivably could happen without detection in many cities and states. The Courier-Iournal of Louis­ ville charged that a- personal squab­ ble between the mayor of that city and an ousted Louisville Democra­ tic chairman is reponsible fo r smashing the mayor’s entire, legis­ lature at the last session. The whole story is story is' told in an alleged statement by a state sena­ tor to the effect that all mayor’s bills were thrown out without con­ sideration, wHile those responsible by the ousted chairman were im­ mediately voted through, purely be- eause of his political pull and his hatred of the mayor. If stjbh be the case, a. ptpgram that purported Iy had provisions necessary for the wellbeing of an entire city was smashed by the personal enmity, of; an ousted politician ' ’ ’-■* • The philosophy, of political iex» Dediency exists in higher, bpdies than a state legislature. It was evident in the recent U. S. Senate fight over extending the Hatch Act to state employes paid in whole or in part from federal funds, that the legislators weie placed in the posi ti9n of either voting for expediency or for a. progressive step in good government. A confidential report, wbkh de­ scribed a high Washington, D. C., WPA official as being “personally venal,”'with alleged facts to sup. port the charge, is suppose to have been recent'v submitted to the House Appropriations Subcommit­ tee on Relief. Curiously enough, this news came out just before an important committee hearing on VVPA budget estimates for the com­ ing fiscal year. -If true, the report reveals the outright dishonestr of a high public servant, if false, it in dicates to what lengths opposing politicians conceivably will go to try to " prejudice both the public and their representatives, With dishouesty found among executive officials and with many legislators willing to betray the:r public'trusts for the sake ot politi cal expediency, many believe that cases of good, honest, non partisan legislation . and- administration— passed and carried out for the good of the. people alone—are becoming ing harder and harder to find.— Swiped.

Here's a subject for another “Fireside Chat.” Down with the red flag. Down with the swastika. Up with the Stars and Stripts. Away with Stalinism and Hitlerism. If that is the gospel you hear, then we have more of it.. Mr Average American, did you ever stop to think that under this New Deal abundant life program you pay 58 taxes on your loaf of breal? And you will continue Io do so until you vote tor a change. Did you ever ponder over the $to,ooo a year the . people of the United States pay each Congress­ man? Yes, you are right—in many cases, and the record will sustain von, it is exactly $9,990.70 too much! After oeing questioned, gouged, harrassed, bored ard badgered by the New Deal for the past seven years, it stems rather far-ietched to ie raising so much cane about the question asked by the censas taker. Obviously, Communism a n d Dealism are based upon the as­ sumption that politicians and radi­ cals can run the business of the country better tban the business men themselves can do it. Here is a thought for you. Mr. Voter. And here's something to think a- bout: In 1932, wben the Republi­ cans were in power, free mailing by the government represented a cost of 9 million dollars, but in 1936, under this New Deal shebang, free mailing amounts to 35 million dol. lars. In other words it takes al­ most four times as much propa* ganda to “educate” the voters as it did in the *‘hoss and buggy’’ days. Tbe Senate the other day voted $725,000,000 to bonus the farmers to the point they occupied before they occupied before tbe New Deat introduced “ Planned Economy” for the farmers. Even with these huge bonuses the farmers know that tbeir condition is worse than in tbe “hoss and buggy days. ' If FDR runs for president him- selfself, he will be seeking person­ ally a third term; if he sists-in naming a candidate who. is in hSf- mony with his program he will vIie asking the American people to give tbe Brain Trust New Deal bureau­ cratic program a third term. So what’s tbe difference? . £ YOUR "SHIP WILL COMCINwSooDcr 1 ftr Um A id eiN ew w ^ ADVERTISING. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. W H O ’S N E W S T H IS W E E K By LEMUEL F.

A fter, short turns in architecture and banking, he entered the diplo­ m atic service as a career m an, serving in various posts at Tokyo, the Philippines and London until his appointm ent as m inister to Bul­ garia in 1937.

M r. Colijn, 70 years old next July, is an am iable, cultured gentlem an, not given to fighting talk, but not! inexperienced in real fighting. His political and financial fortunes w ere advanced by his showing in som e catch-as-catch-can m illing against the savage Sassaks on the Island of Lombok, east of Java, when he w as a young lieutenant in the Nether­ lands arm y.

In his public activities, he has been a vig-i orous foe of both the Nazis and Communists. In November, 1938,! he denounced the Nazi anti-Sem itic pogroms as “the m ost tragic epi-: sode of m odem tim es.” He is calm ly assured that civili­ zation has staying power, air, bombs or no air bombs.

During his boy­ hood and college years he bore the nam e of Jam es Lewis M acie, but after he w as ad­ m itted to the Roy­ al society and had won som e fam e as a scientist, he applied to the crown for per­ m ission to take his father’s nam e. This w as granted in 1802 and there­ after he w as Jam es Sm ithson. How­ ever, his father’s title as duke of N orthum berland w ent to his half- brother, Lord Percy. Because of the bar sinister on his nam e he never m arried. He hated the m onarchial system and left Eng­ land to m ake his home in Genoa, Italy,- w here his life of tragic frus­ tration ended in June, 1829. When his will w as opened it w as found th at he had left a fortune of m ore than half a m illion dollars “to the U nited States of A m erica to found at W ashington, under the nam e of the Sm ithsonian institution, an estab­ lishm ent for the increase and diffu­ sion of knowledge am ong m en.” Why did he do it?

But m ore than a hundred years ago, when hunting knives w ere m ore im portant as a m eans of self-preservation, a Bowie knife w as known as “the kind that Jim Bowie carries.” H istory is not certain as to who invented the knife, but there is no question th at it w as nam ed after C o lo n el J a m e s Bowie, a native o f T en n e sse e . T here is a story th at Bowie thrust his butcher knife into an attacking Indian and his hand slipped down over the blade, cutting it severely. H o w ev er, it w as the Indian who failed to heal up, not Bowie, and a t his first opportunity Bowie had a hunting knife m ade to order w ith a guard on it. Soon after he began to carry it he w as attacked by three desperadoes and killed all of them with his new kind of knife. The m en of the tim es began ordering knives like Bowie’s and soon began m erely to ask for Bowie knives. Bowie w as finally killed him self in the battle of the Alamo but when his body w as found it w as surround­ ed by dead M exicans whom he had killed first.

HABAKKUK FIGHTS THROUGH DOUBT TO FAITH LESSON TEXT—Habakkuk 1:12—2:4. i GOLDEN TEXT—The just ShaU Uve by' ilis- laith.—Habakkuk 2:4. 4 “The ju st shall live by his faith”—; the great rallying cry of the Refor-' m ation; in fact, the very essence of C hristianity, is found in the glorious conclusion which the prophet Habakkuk reaches in his trium ­ phant confidence in God. Trying circum stance, doubt and fear m ust all yield to faith in God. The lesson for today is peculiarly appropriate to the situation in which the world finds itself just now. M en’s hearts are failing them for fear. It seem s to them th at all is chaotic disorder; they wonder w hether God has any plan for the world and its people, and w hether H e really c a re s.. “Why doesn’t God do som ething?” is the question on m any lips. The answ er is in our lesson. I. Believe, Though Surrounded by Questions (1:12-17). H abakkuk does not question th at his people had sinned and w ere worthy of God’s disciplinary chas­ tening, but he is astonished to Ieam th at God plans to use the wicked Chaldeans to bring it about. Ques­ tions pour in upon him as he de­ scribes their iniquity (v. 13), and speaks of them as catching Judah in their net (w . 14,15) and gloating over their victim s (w . 16,17). He does not yet know the answ er to his questions, but he has already stated the foundation of his faith in ,verse 12. W hatever happens, no m atter how sore the trial and non- understandable the outworking of God’s plan, the prophet is sure of his God as the eternal and holy One. The point to be borne in m ind in such a tim e is th at God is not m ak­ ing plans for the m om ent or because of som e unexpected change in cir­ cum stances. He is “from everlast­ ing” (v. 12). H is plans are etem aL B ut H e is also the “Holy One” (v. 12). It m ay seem for the present th at sin and wickedness have tri­ um phed, but let us rem em ber th at the eternal plans of God are con­ ceived and executed in holiness and power. n . Be A lert in the M idst of Un­ certainty (2 :1). One who does not have faith in God is prone to say in such tim es th at all hope is lost, and give up in despair. Not so Habakkuk. He knew th at there is nothing harder than to w ait patiently for God. He determ ines to be neither dis­ couraged nor im patient, but to stand w atch in the tow er (v. I). "H is words bespeak a very right and proper condition of soul. P er­ plexed and confused by the seem ing . enigm a of God’s w ays, he owns he m ay require reproof, and takes his stand upon the w atch tower, above the m ists of the earth and beyond the thoughts and doings of m en, w here he can quietly w ait on God and look out to see w hat He will say to him ” (Ironside). How desperately we need such alert and earnest w atchers in our day. Christians, arise! Do not per­ m it yourself to be either lulled into a false security or into deadening discouragem ent. IH . Receive the Answer of T ri­ um phant F aith (2:2-4). “The Lord answ ered m e.” He al­ ways does, if we are ready to listen' and to abide His tim e. Habakkuk received a vision of God’s truth in which he w as to w rite so plainly th at everyone who read it would understand it and, in turn, run to others with the m essage. Those of us who teach and preach would do well to follow th at admonition. AU too often our m essage is not under­ stood or fails to stir those who hear it to go quickly and tell others. Looking forw ard to Christ, the just m an of Habakkuk’s day was to live by faith; even as we of this day, looking back to the cross of Christ, are justified by faith and then are to go on to live by faith. This is the word which, as we have already suggested, stirred Luther and his fellows to bring about the Reform ation. Long before Luther’s day, however, the sam e words had com e by the Holy Spirit’s inspira­ tion to be the heart of the great m essages of Paul the apostle as he taught justification (Rom . 1:16, 17), as he defended grace against legal­ ism (G al. 3:11), and as he por-; trayed “the pilgrim ’s path through this world from the cross to the glory” (Heb. 10:38). W orks of the Lord Oh, th at m en would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of m en! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and de­ clare his works with rejoicing.— P salm 107:21-22.

No two w ere alike- I thought this one with a scalloped border w as particularly interest­ ing and the m aker w rote m e th at the scallops do stay flat on the floor. S ie uses wool rags and fre­ quently dyes them the colors she wants. She cuts or tears them into strips an inch o r m ore wide, according to the weight of the m aterial and then braids them tightly. The braided strips are sewn together with double carpet thread and she keeps the work flat on th e table all the tim e she is sewing. F or this rug, the cen­ ter row is 15 inches long. Sew around and around this, using the colors indicated. When the oval is 31 inches long and 16 inches wide, divide it evenly around the edge with pins about five inches apart. Now, sew a row around with a 2-inch loop a t each pin.

WNV SERVICE SYNOPSIS Charming, wealthy GabrleDa (Gay for <hort) Graham, engaged to Todd Janeway, returns to a cabin In the Maine woods ac* companied by a friend, Kate Oliver. The Idea of a stay at the cabin occurred to her when she received a key to it following the death of her godfather. Uncle John Law* rence. Hie two girls notice immediately that someone has been, and probably is, living in the cabin. Kate suspects that Gay knows the identity of the mysterious occupant CHAPTER I—Continned “I shall never forget.” Kate re­ moved her hat. “When I’m eightyt I’ll tell my grand-nieces and neph­ ews, the reason your old auntie is an invalid, my dears, is because once upon a time she drove twenty miles along a road in the state of Maine. No, I couldn’t,” she concluded. “I’d rather face unknown terrors than jounce over those twenty miles again tonight.” “Idiot!” Gay was placing the fluted china shade on the lamp. She was lovely- locking, Kate thought, feeling as she frequently felt when she consciously considered Gay’s features and color­ ing, a slight shock of surprise and wonder. The light from the lamp striking up into her face accented the high cheek-bones, the faint de­ pressions beneath them, the line of her jaw and rounded chin, the curve of her brows above her long, very deep blue eyes. Certain endearing flaws redeemed her face from the stiU perfection of authentic beauty, the straight thick lashes, the dust­ ing of freckles across her nose, her wide,, sweetly curved mouth, the way her eyes narrowed and crinkled when she smiled . . . “Do you know what I think?” Kate said darkly. “I’m breathless,” Gay said through a mouthful of apple.“Those jars and the.smell in the room over there.” Kate gestured. “I think he’s a mad genius inventing a poison' gas to annihilate the world.” “Can I depend on that?” Gay moved away from the table. “It would be a let-down to discover that the smell was moonshine brewing.” She bit again into the apple. “Our cabin-mate reads,” she observed. “That’s encouraging,” Kate said as Gay picked up a book which lay face-down upon the couch, “your home is known by the books you own. What is it?” “Something about — hormones.” Gay stood looking quizzically down at the book in her hand. “Hormones!” Kate repeated, then lowering her voice dramatically, “Gay! He’s planning the perfect murder. He’s one of those educated criminals you read about with a keen analytical mind. A doctor, per­ haps, who—” “A doctor—?” Gay’s altered voice arrested Kate’s attention. She glanced quickly toward the couch at the far side of the hearth. Gay’s eyes were lowered over the book. She was turning pages with a quick fluttering motion of her fingers through the leaves. Kate heard a sound like a quickly drawn breath, faint but authentic. “No name?” she asked, as Gay lifted her eyes. “Nothing.” The sound had been authentic, Kate thought. Gay had made a discovery. Gay’s eyes were, presently, aware of Kate. They dropped self-con­ sciously before Kate's questioning glance. She placed the book on the couch, tossed the remains of the apple into the fire. “Let’s investigate further,” she said, after a moment. Her voice was only a little shaken but the peach-colored flush deepened and her eyes were very bright. “That’s a sensible idea,” Kate said serenely. “Leave no stone un­ turned. Here, I’ll carry that,” she added as Gay turned to take the lamp from the table. Gay did not demur. She walked to one of the doors leading onto the porch, opened it, stepped out into darkness. Kate followed with the lamp. The screened porch which extended across the front of the cab­ in disclosed nothing of importance. There were built-in bunks at either end covered with blankets and tar­ paulins. There were fiber rugs, a table, chairs. The glass windows above the bunks were .lowered but the front of the porch stood open to the night. Kate followed Gay’s heels, clicking with a muffled sound on the rugs, more sharply on the floor between, stopped when she stopped at the long table in the cen­ ter ot Uie porch. “The rain is over,” Gay said. “Nice weather tomorrow.” Kate looked out through the screening. The yellow glow of lamp­ light blurred her. vision. She placed the lamp on (bo table and retained to stand beside Gay. Moonlight lay on the clearing in front of the cabin, marked the path sloping down a gentle grade to the edge of the lake. Beyond, the water stretched silver- gray, motionless, barely distinguish­ able from the land. “I’m going to like this place,” she said, breaking the silence. “Of course you are.” Gay’s voice was hushed, as though the serenity of the scene before her had stilled her excitement. “I’ve never liked any place I’ve ever been as well.” Kate did not question her sinceri­ ty. It was curious, though, she re­flected. She would not have sup­ posed that Gay would find pleasure in the silence of the woods. Gay, she had thought, loved gaiety, lights, the theater, supper-clubs, dancing, moving from one scene of festivity to another with her smart young intimates. Her visits at “Dunedin,” her brief stays at her father’s town house, were quite ob­ viously motivated by duty and en­ dured with boredom. She had given every indication of preferring to be with her mother and step-father on Long Island, at their apartment in the city, in Florida or Bermuda, now that cut dividends and deflated val­ ues had closed to them the play­ grounds of Europe. She, Kate, had scarcely seen the child since her engagement had been announced at “Dunedin” late in June until three days ago when she had turned up there and had proposed this trip to Maine. What had happened the summer she’d spent here to make so lasting an impression upon Gay? Why, after six years, should she have wanted to return just at this time? Kate’s thought continued as Gay, standing beside her, remained si­ lent. She spoke frequently, and with affection, of Dr. Lawrence whom she called “Uncle John,” her god-father, her father’s life-long friend, who had, at his death, left the cabin to her. Kate remembered him very well. He’d had a brilliant mind and great charm of manner. She knew that Gay’s father had not under­ stood why his friend should have been content to remain the Dean of a small college in his native state of Maine when wider and more re­ munerative opportunities were con­ stantly being offered him. Thatwas explained at his death. Dr. Law­ rence had had a serious heart con­ dition which had restricted his ac­ tivities. “It’s the harvest moon, isn’t It?” Gay stirred with a rousing motion at Kate’s side. “About half of it,” Kate replied. “It should be full toward the end of the week.” “I hadn’t counted on that.” Gay laughed and slipped her arm com- panionably through Kate’s arm. “I wasn’t thinking of moons. It’s nice when the sun shines, too.” “I’m sure it is,” Kate said. “Feel­ ing as cool as I feel now was worth the trip.” “I thought you’d like it. You un­ derstand now, don’t you, why I wanted to come?” Kate was silent for a moment. Then, “Not entirely,” she said. She knew that the meaning be­ hind the words was perfectly clear to Gay. The brief intimacy was shattered. Gay withdrew her arm. She was not resentful now, though, as she had been when Kate had first questioned her motives: “Come along,” she said, laugh­ ing, that shaken note of excitement trembling in her voice. “We have things to do. There are stones we have left unturned.” Gay walked directly to a closed door in the wall opposite the kitchen at the far end of the room. “This is the master-bedroom,” she said and opened the door. Kate followed her into the room. It was considerably larger than the room off the kitchen and more com­ fortably furnished. The lamplight, bright where she stood, fading into shadows at the rim of the cone of light, disclosed a built-in bed at each end of the room. The mattress of one was covered with newspapers and upon it lay-paper-wrapped bun­ dles which might contain bedding. The other, beneath windows which overlooked the porch, was obviously prepared for use. Between the win­ dows in the side wall oh a square of scenic linoleum stood a small stove with a. length of jointed pipe. “That looks familiar,” Kate said. "It’stcalled a chunk-stove, in case you’re interested. There’s one In the rectory study at home.” Gay gave no evidence of being interested in the stove. She stood looking down at the top of a low chest of drawers. Kate approached with the lamp. 4IHe shaves,” she said, making note of a razor-case, a shaving 'teush, a wooden soap-bowl. “Do you sur”'n?<' he dresses for dinner I.” Gay ignored the question. She turned the brushes arranged with precision on the pine top of the chest. There were no monograms. “There’s the closet,” Kate sug­ gested. Gay turned from the mirror, walked quickly halfway across the room and opened a door. Kate, fol­ lowing, tipped the shade of the lamp so that the light shone directly into the closet. A brown tweed suit, a top-coat, two pairs of khaki trousers, tan pajamas striped in wine-color, a wool dressing-gown which had seen service, a dark sweater with a letter stitched to the heavy rib­ bing, hung in a row from the hooks. A tan felt hat rested where it had been flung on the shelf above, and on the floor below a pair of brown oxfords stood beside brown leather moccasins laced with thongs. Noth­ing here, surely, Kate thought, and was about to voice the thought in words. A sound held her silent, a quickly drawn breath audibly and slowly exhaled. Gay’s hand touched the sweater. As Kate watched, her fore- Tipped the shade of the lamp so that the light shone directly into the closet. finger tipped with an almond-pink nail traced the letter stitched to the ribbing. . She turned after a moment. “A completely anonymous per­ son,” she said and closed the door. But Kate was not deceived. The gesture of the finger with the pink- tipped nail had been very revealing. If she had not known before, Kate thought, again both concerned and amused, Gay knew now, at least, who was here. . CHAPTER n She couldn’t force Gay to tell her. Kate regarded with satisfaction a bun on a long toasting-fork which she. held over the bed of embers in the fireplace. She would be obliged to bear with her curiosity until the owner of the sweater appeared. He was taking his time about it. She and Gay had unpacked the rumble of the coupe. They had found a can of kerosene beside the back steps and had filled and lit every lamp in the cabin. They had brought two pails of water up from the lake. Preparations for a late supper were well under way, now, and still he had not appeared. Gay was in the room which she’d called the master-bedroom chang­ ing her clothes. She’d gotten her­ self pretty wet bringing water up from the lake. Was it deliberate? Kate wondered, not without just rea­ son for suspicion. What effect was she creating, now, before the mir­ ror above the chest of drawers? She sounded very blithe and gay. Her voice, sweet and husky, influ­ enced, no doubt,- by the night-club singer who was the latest enthusi­ asm of Gay and her intimates, floated out through the open door. She was singing with the radio. Appropriate, Kate thought. Whew!A smell of scorching recalled her attentioh to the bun. She removed it from the fork, placed it with three others on a plate keeping warm on the hearth. The coffee was boiling over. Kate rose from the foot-stool on which she sat and bent forward to lift the pot from the bed of em­ bers. Pale brown bubbles foamed down over her hand. Tiie exclama­ tion she gave, sharp and unstudied, stopped the sieging. Gay came into the room knotting a scarf around her neck. 'Salty language, my friend,” she said.^'Oh,” you’ve burnedyour hand. Here, let me take it.” She unknot­ ted the scarf and wadded it around the handle of the pot. “Does it hurt terribly, Kate?” “I’ll probably survive.” Kate flapped her injured hand. So the key-note was to be simplicity, she thought, considering Gay’s appear­ ance with a quizzically lifted brow. She wore a dark wool skirt, a white wool jumper, ghillies and white an­ gora socks. She had brushed her red-brown hair into a softly curling halo tied with a bright blue ribbon. Her face had a scrubbed and shin­ ing look. The freckles across her nose, undisguised by powder, were young and endearing. Kate smiled. “Isn’t the lip-stick out of key?” she asked. “It points the contrast.” Gay, un­ abashed, returned Kate’s smile. “The coffee smells marvelous.” She" poured the dark brown liquid into cups from the picnic-hamper ar­ ranged with plates and forks and spoons on the low table beside the hearth. “Does it? I hadn’t noticed.” Kate returned to the foot-stool. “I can’t smell anything except that perfume. It’s certainly off-key.” “No it isn’t.” Gay pulled an arm chair close to the table, settled her­ self, bit into a sandwich. “It breathes of the great out-of-doors, crushed ferns, mossy dells, moor­ land heather. I bought it especially for the occasion.”Kate made a derisive gesture. “It breathes of Fifth Avenue and the Sil­ ver Room at the Ritz.” “Maybe you’re right,” Gay said amicably. “I adore hamburgers. Toasting them was an inspiration. I’m starved.” But she ate scarcely anything. She was listening, waiting, Kate thought, preoccupied with heaven only knew what thoughts, memories, anticipa­ tions. The continuing ripple of ir­ relevant comment was a smoke­ screen deliberately raised. In the intervals of silence when she lay back in the chair, her arms crossed under her head, Kate observed her warily. She was excited. That was obvious. But, though she smiled, her face in repose reflected som* more tender emotion. “Don’t you think—” she began and stopped short. There were sounds outside the cabin, an expir­ ing exhaust, a motor suddenly si­ lenced, a brake jerked on, a door resoundingly slammed. Kate, watch­ ing Gay, saw her start forward, saw the bright trembling expectan­ cy, unrelieved by humor or brava­ do which, for an instant, illuminated her face. Then,' conscious of Kate’s intent and somewhat disconcerted gaze, she slowly relaxed. Compo­ sure slipped like a mask across her face. She sat back in the chair. “Arriving in a cloud of dust,” she said, her voice only a little shaken, her eyes turning from Kate to the door. “Mud, which must certainly spoil the effect.” Kate rose from the foot­ stool. “Well, let us be brave. Me, I feel braver standing.” She walked to the end of the hearth and stood leaning against the chimney, her arm on the low mantel shelf. On the radio a baritone sang melt* ingly of a rendezvous on the Isle of Capri. Through the music came the sound, of a door explosively opened, resolute footsteps thudding across the kitchen floor. Kate’s eyes turned from Gay’s profile to the door.(TO BE CONTINUED) Building Survey Reveals American Idea of Homo When you suggest owning a new home to the average American, he or she thinks in terms of a house costing less than $6,000, and con­ templates between 10 and 15 years to pay off the debt. Tliese are some of the things that the committee on trends of the Unit­ ed States Savings and Loan league has learned from a questionnaire on public attitudes. Surveys were made of the attitudes of people se­ lected at random, including S per cent factory workers, 7 per cent proprietors of businesses, 20 per cent housewives, 16 per cent profes­ sional workers and 12 per cent sales­ men and miscellaneously employed others. Results of the last six years em­phasis by government agencies on the monthly repayment home mort­ gage, which is a century-old heri­ tage from the savings and loan in­ stitutions, show prominently in the survey. Nine out of every 10 per­ sons would prefer an amortized mortgage in financing their homes. The league committee points out that before the depression only those who were borrowing money from the thrift and home financing institu­ tions—about one-third of all the mortgagors—were making steady payments to reduce their debt or the home. — CLASSIFIED DEPARTM ENT BABY CHICKS We Gnarantee LWe Delivery.

The Democratic machine in your, state is the proud originator of one of the worst forms of political ex. tortion—the Two Per Cent Club. The next administration will be under orders from the country to restore employment by creating con ditions under which business can do the job. There has been a mania in the Kew Deal for legislation to bind everything in sight to the chariot wheels of an ambitious bureaucracy in-Washington. The people of this country are becoming aware of the moral col­ lapse of the present administration. There has been no net reduction in unemoloyment in five years. It is time to stop politics and go back to work. Our national economy has actual Iy gone backward under the New Deal. Ever.mounting taxes upon in dividuals discourage the investment of savings in business and taxes upon discourage business itself. Demand an aministration which knows business for what it is—the work of the people of the whole nation. Editorial Limitations. The belief that an editor knows everything is widespread, but one small boy discovered the limita­ tions of an editorial mind. Hereis the anecdote as we got it from a con­ temporary: “Father,” asked the small!boy of an editor, “is Tupiter inhabited?’’ “I don’t know, my son,” was the truthful reply. Paesently he was interrupted a- gain. “Father, is there any sea ser- pants?” The little fe!lonr was manifestly cast down, but presently rallied and again approached the great source of information. * . ' “Father, what does the north pole look like?” But alas! again the' answer: “I don’t know, my son.” A t last, in despiration, he inquir­ ed, with withering emphassis, "Father, how did you get to be an editor?” -E x. Drinking Drivers. Calling attention to the fact-tbat 117 persons were killed last year in tnis state as a result of drinking and driving, Ronald Hocutt, Di­ rector of the Highway Safety Divi­ sion, recently termed the drinking driver as the most dangerous if not the most numerous type of offender on our highways today. Drinking and driving do not mix,” Hocutt said. “ Even one drink can so effect a driver’s reac­ tion time as to make him a poteni- tal dangerous driver. The High­ way Safety Division advises anyone who does and drinking to let some­ one else do their driving for them.” —Ex. ______________ There W ill Be No Eco­ nomy.

They Have An Important Case. The Republican master minds are beginning to assemble in Washing­ ton in order to get their beads to­ gether on a platform to offer the voters of the country in the coming presidential campaign. From what has already been strongly indicated, that clatform will ring the changes on the desir­ ability of a genuine return to the old fashioned principle of democra­ cy which not only allows but hoc^ ors the system of private enterprise and individual initiative. Wbat the Republicans may be able to make of this battle cry is yet ahead■ of us, bat, no matter whether they win or lose the elec­ tion, they will have contributed mightily to a return to the essen­ tial simplicities of government if they are able to invest the popular mind in a new zeal for this basic form of Americanism. There is far too .much political interference with the individual en­ terprise as things now stand—too much snooping on the part of Fed­ eral office holders, too much busi- ness-baiting, too much surveilance and, in many instances, far too much outright governmental owner­ ship of primary industries. We must get back on the sane and sound track of a free democra­ cy if these adventures into state so­ cialism are to be halted and per­ manently thwarted.—Charlotte Ob­ server. Another One This Year. We hadn’t thought of this until somebody 'sent it in last week: .Lincoln was elected. President in i860. He died in office. .Garfield was elected in 1SS0, twenty years later. He died in of­ fice. McKinley was elected in 1900, twehty years later. He died in of­ fice. Harding was elected in 1920. He died iu office. This is 1940, and we don’t know who will be elected or what will happen to him. We gave this out in a radio broadcast last Sunday night, and after the broadcast was over, a lady called us up and said: “ Did you stop to realize that the four Presidents you mentioned'were all Republicans? We hadn’t tbougth of that, eith er.—The State. BUYER MEETS SELLER CoMnS^d Little Stingers. (From The Yellow Jacket) FDR can go down in history as the great furniture man. He has set up one hundred and ten bureaus in Washington in the past seveu years. About the only way a man' can escape the New Deal tax eater is to go naked, sleep on tbe ground and eat clay dirt—own nothing and do nothing. In seeking full power to make trade treaties without the aid of the Senate, FDR reveals bis determi­ nation to be a trade treaty dictator of the first degree. Abraham Lincoln once s a id : “ When the victoiy is complete there shall neither be slave nor drunkard upon the earth.” It is plain that he didn’t refer to a New Deal victory. The New Deal idea is that “ A- tnerica Must Fight to Save the World for Democracy.” The G. O. P. says “ America Must Stay Out to Save Democracy for tfce World.” I sav, Hiram, why. don’t they quit asking Roosevelt about his third term intentions, and ax him if and when he is going to balance tbe budget. He knows the answer to that. The way the Roosevelts rush . to Reno, it would appear that they regard the marriage laws as a sort of “off again, on again, gone a- gain” contraption unworthy of ser­ ious consideration. Here is a prediction, mark it well— Constitutioaal government, as we knew it before the advent of the Roosevelt administration,. is gone forever, if Roosevelt is elected for a third term.

Brewster, Republican of Maine, who is advo eating a “ho hate” political cam­ paign, at a luncheon of the Republi' can Women of Pennsylvania, made this sensible abservation: '‘Tfce more time we spend hating Roose­ velt, the less time we have for sell­ ing our goods.*' That is a theory that could be well applied to any activity, political or otherwise. It is generally admitted that a salesman shoos more names from the dotted line than he suc­ ceeds in getting on it by disparaging a competitors product. Certainly it seems seems sensible that it could ae well be applied in political relation­ ships, and just as profitably. But we don’t expect to live to see it. With so much before us to evid­ ence the result of hates, fanned to a consuming flame, in the world it would seem that we could for once take .our politics calmly and go about the business of selecting a President and other leaders to administer our government for the next four years, with intelligence and saneness that should not be nullified bv prejudice and hatred. And the need for that H just as definite in one party as the other. It is too m-ich to hope that Repre- ssntative Brewster’s implied propo* sal that full time be given to the sale of Republican doctrine and ser­ vice to the voters, will be adopted, or that the Democrats will strike a similar stance in the promotion of tbeir interest?. But just the same it is a jim up good suggestion, aid we’d like to see it tried just once, Ie- cause the result would be so satis­ factory. we believe, that it would be­ come a universal and permanent practice.—Statesville Daily. Typical N. C. Family. (Oxford Ledger) There are perhaps as many ideas on the typical North Carolina family as there are North Carolina family, it is interesting; to note Governor Hoey's opinion. The states's trypi- cal family, he believes, lives in the country or in a small town, is inter­ ested in public affairs and has a “rea­ sonable number” of children. How accuratelv the Governor has described the typical North Carolina family is purely a guess. We are rather certain, however, that he bas described the family that many of us would like to regard as typical—the family enjoying a fair prosperity, a Iargeamountashappiness and am­ ple contentment. It is our hope that more of the families of North Carolina may at. tain the level of the family described by the Governor as typical. Nature Proclaims a Diety (Francois Chateaubriand) There is a God! The herbs of the valley, the cedars of the mountain, bless Him! the insect sports in His beam; the bird sings Him the foliage; the.thunder proclaims Him in the heavens; the ocean declares His in* mensity; a man alone bas said there is no God! Unite in thought at the same instant the most beautiful ob­ jects in nature. Suppose that you see, at once, all the hours of that day, and all tbe seasons of the year; a morning of spring, and a morning of autumn; a night, bespangled with stars, and a night darkened by clouds meadows emameled with flowers; forests hoary with snow; fields glid- by the tints of autumn—then alone you will have a just conception of the universe. Wbile you are gazing on that sun w hich is plunging into the vault of the west, another observer admires Him emerging, from tbe glided gates of the east. By what inconceivable power does that aged star, which is sinking fatigued and burning in the shades of the evening, reappear at tbe same instant fresh and humid with the rosv dew of the morning? At every hoor of the day, the glor­ ious .ork is at'once, rising, resplen­ dent as noonday, and setting in the west; or; rather, our ssnses deceive us, and there is. properly speaking, no east or west. no north or south, in the world. . Why Not Try This? One Georgia editor tells this for a fact: He was ur able to obtain adver­ tising from one of the business men of tbis county bccause the merchant said he himself never tead tbe ads did. “ Will vou advertise if I can con- vince you that folks do read the ads?” tbe editor asked. “ If you can show, but you can’t” said the merchant. In the next issue the editor ran a line of small type In an obscure corner reading: In the next issue the editor ran a line of small type iu an obscure corner reading: “ What is Jenkins going to do. a- bont it?” The merchant, Jenkins, hasten­ ed to the editor the next day, com­ plaining that he was being pester­ ed out of his wits by.the curious. He agreed to stand by.tbe editor’s ex­ planation in the forthcoming issue. It was this: “Jenkins is going to advertise.*-’ And he did.—The Editor’s For­ um Talk It Up. Talk it up, talk it op!

The Sampson coujtv board of commissioners has absolutely re­ fund to call an election on the question oi establishing ABCstores in Sampson conntv. A petition bearing signatures of 1,709 residents of tbe county was carried before the board by H. H. Bradshav.', of Clinton, Route 3, strong advocate of legal zed liqno.r. Chairman Hans -Siverten said that the board bad rejected the of­ fer for a vote. He exp'ained that members of the board d:d not see fit to call tbe election at this time, and that the number of signatures was cot .sufficientt0 warrant it. Under State laws, tbe board may call an election at any ti ne or may refnse to call an election. How­ ever if the inteusted parties can se­ cure 15 per cent of the number of voters who nartipated .in the elec­ tion of the governor In the preced­ ing general election, the board of elections must then call the elec­ tion. There were 10,724 votes cast in Sampson in tbe last guber­ natorial race. - The action of the board iu refits- ing to call the election met the ap. proval of citizens of tbe county. While some favor liquor stores, it is believed that the county woqld vote against them and an election would vote against' them and an election would only be an unneces­ sary expense. r . WRlTEA WANTAD CASH IN ON SIVFF IN THE At TH E DAVIE RECORE M OCKSVILLE. N . C. S * WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) N EW YORK. — We heard that Wendell L. Willkie had 300 invi­ tations to make public addresses. Across his big desk, which in its mountain- W endell W illkie ous disarray H asPep ’A plenty m a k e s a A nd Plenty to Dc Z Z ‘j £ T . l home, we asked Mr. Willkie about St. The report was all wrong. The number is something over 2,000. Also in the ruck were enough pleas for magazine and syndicate articles to give Mr. Willkie writer’s cramp for the rest of his life, if he took on even one-tenth of them.Mr. Willkie, built like a guard, works like an end or a halfback. The range and agility of his mind is such that he might be a swing man, either in the line or the back- field. On his desk was a new book, the life of the Elder Pitt, about which he is writing a review; also a litter of papers having to do with pretty nearly everything from kant to kilowatts. An hour’s conversation covered a similar range. He talked rapidly and vehemently, sawing and ham­ mering with his extended palm, when he told how the Common­ wealth & Southern forced down rates, or challenged what he terms the unfair TVA bookkeeping; mak­ing hesitant or groping gestures when he touched on the intangibles of social origins and inducements. He is like that—assured and vehe­ ment on what he knows and thought­ ful and explorative on what he merely thinks. He doesn’t want to kill the Se­ curities and Exchange commission. He would merely put it under sound democratic controls. Mr. Willkie has tremendous gusto and live, intellectual curiosity. He says all this talk of nominating him for President is incidental to the fact that he made a rock-and-sock battle on something he knew about—some­ thing which happened to be impor­ tant and which perhaps helped to clarify certain basic issues. He says he never spent a dime on a personal build-up and never will. Almost his strongest emphasis was reserved for his observation that the run-of-the- mill citizen is a lot brighter than he’s supposed to be, and that therein lies the hope for our continuing de­ mocracy. Out of its context, that might sound like the old homespun Indiana political hokum, but that’s the last thing you could tag Mr. Willkie with. •---- TN 1914, Franklin D. Roosevelt, as- ■I sistant secretary of the navy, was riding the venerable destroyer Pat­ terson up the coast of Maine. He said to young Naoy Commander Lieut. Stark Has Talked Back at the helm, To His Big Chief Z f y L t e a while? I am an experienced navi­gator and I know this coast.” The young lieutenant replied, “I am in command here and responsible for the ship. I doubt your authority to supersede me. If you can offer any helpful suggestions I should be glad to hear them.” It was said that Mr. Roosevelt liked that kind of sea talk. At any rate, last August, he jumped Adm. Harold R. Stark oyer 54 others who outranked him, to make him chief of naval operations, No. I post in the navy. White-haired and professori­ al, Admiral Stark continues before the senate committee on naval af­ fairs his advocacy of an adequate navy, this time pointing up his argu­ ment with a reference to Japan’s eight new dreadnaughts, supposedly under'way.Admiral Stark commands a force of 110,000 men, 11,000 officers, 18,000 marines, 550 ships and 2,000 fliers. Two of his outstanding policies are a belief that the navy should control and operate its own air fleet, and disbelief in “attrition” warfare. In other words he thinks the navy should be always in instant readi­ ness for quick, hard hitting. His technical attainments advanced him in ' his earlier years and in later years his frank and outspoken formulations of broad navy policy. He is regarded by close observers cf naval affairs as a fortunate com­ bination of the “activitist” tradition" and studious and informed knowl­edge in the overlapping zone of na­ val and foreign policy. This be­ comes important in the latter-day urgency and delicacy of internation­ al affairs. He is an inlander, bom and reared in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. When the World war started he was herding five destroyers in the Philippines, so old they weren’t supposed to go out after dark. However, he got them half way around the world and entered them in the main event. He is primarily a big-gun expert. In spite of all modern improvements on the big battle wagons, he thinks the decision is apt to go to the nation whose ships are able to display the finest assortment of the biggest and best guns. He’s out for all he can get* Captured 6Mystery Gun’ Puzzles Military Experts -4( SS r-s— JL w C l- A Finnish gunnery expert is shown examining one of-the strange weapons captured from Soviet Russian forces during the recent Russo-Finnish war.

T H ER E’S a superstition in Hollywood th at an actor cast as a new spaper reporter goes right on into bigger and better roles. R obert P aige believes in it firm ly, because it’s worked for him . H e w as b ro u g h t in to p ic ­ tures from radio because of his ability as a singer—and then he w as given one p art after another in which he had no chance to sing. H eseem ed to be stuck in m elodram atic roles. Then he was cast as a news­ paper reporter in “Golden Gloves,” and again played a reporter in “Opened by Mistake.” And now he’s booked for-the leading male role in Paramount’s “Dancing on a Dime,” a musical comedy, in which he’ll play opposite Grace MacDon­ ald—and will sing and dance, at last! At 75, May Robson has no idea how many roles she has played on stage and screen, but she’s ready to tackle her newest one, that of Ellen Drew’s grandmother, in “Texas Rangers Ride Again.” It’s one of Birthday greetings from Gary Cooper to Hoy Robson. the most strenuous parts of her long career, that of a salty old lady who looks upon modem Texas peace of­ ficers as poor successors to the ones she knew in her youth. You’ll be able to see Pat O’Mal­ ley, of radio’s “Alec Templeton Time,” on the screen before long. His first picture will be “Captain Caution,” in which he will play a Cockney sailor who is captured dur­ ing the War of 1812—and in which he’ll sing the “Apple Song,” which he has already performed on the Templeton program. When you see “A Night at Earl Carroll’s” you’ll also see what was, two years ago, the community’s most expensive night club. Remem­ber when it opened, with a special section for movie stars? Nowadays it’s a dime-and-dance emporium in the evenings, but during the days it’s been returned to its former glory by Paramount. Ken Murray and Rose Hobart play the leads in the picture, Cobina and Brenda, radio’s comedy team, and some of the much publicized Earl Carroll beau­ ties will support them, and Earl Carroll, besides acting as producer, will play himself.— The Philadelphia-LaScala Opera company wants Deanna Durbin to make her operatic career under its auspices next season. James Mel­ ton’s already signed with the com­ pany. Ben Grauer has grabbed off the most coveted announcing assign­ ment in radio. He’s been selected to introduce Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt when she takes the air. Oddly enough, he and she will be in studios hundreds of miles apart, since she will be on the go most of the time; she’ll broadcast from a city con­ venient to her schedule, and he’ll chime in from a New York studio. He is an energetic, jovial young man, who, since he joined NBC 10 years ago, has been working toward liberating the announcer from his stiff-necked, plush-voiced make-up. He’s been trying to sound like a human being, and deserves a medal for the way that he has succeeded, and inspired other announcers to unbend. Radio’s “Uncle Ezra,” (Pat Bar­ rett) a confirmed bachelor in his Na­ tional Barn Dance air show, found on his arrival in Hollywood recently that the screen expects him to have a wife. In the Bob Burns picture, “Cornin’ Round the Mountain,” “Unde Ezra” will find himself wed­ded to a movie actress, whether he likes it or not. Nine years and 49 weeks ago Joan BlondeU decided that she might as weU leave HoUywood and go back to New York, because she’d never get anywhere in pictures. She was working in “Sinner’s HoUday,” with James Cagney, and she made up ! her mind that she'd stick it out till the picture was finished. But she never got away. In fact, she’s been so much in demand that she’s had only a few trips to New York to do shopping, and the one she made with Dick PoweU on their over-ballyhooed honeymoon.

STREYCKMfiNS and ELMO SCOTT WATSON I Colorful Rainy Day Outfits Are Stylized to Perfection Wistaria \yiS T A R IA , the beautiful light ' ' blue or purple flower which makes your front porch so attractive, is ^ perennial memorial to Caspar Wistar, a Philadelphia physician who was born in 1761. He went to medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, was graduated in 1782 and then went to England and Scot* land, where he served as presi­ dent of the Royal Medical Society of Edinburgh and also as president of a society for the further inves­tigation of natural history. After his return to America, he becam e almost as famous a nat­ uralist as he was a physician and anatomist and his home was a meet­ ing place for students, citizens, scien­ tists and travelers who met there to discuss subjects of common interest. In fact such assemblies, .called. “Wistar parties,” continued long aft­ er his death in 1818. When Thomas Nuttall, the Eng- Iish-American naturalist, discovered a new woody vine in the forests of the western and southern states, he wanted to honor the famous Phila­ delphia scientist by naming it after him. But he spelled it “wisteria” and if you spell it that way, too, you’re helping Nuttall perpetuate an error instead of helping perpetuate the fame of Dr. Caspar Wistar.* • * Zeppelin T e c h n ic a lly , an airship is a dirigible but it is popularly called a zeppelin and probably al­ ways will be. And so the name of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, its inventor, will live on.This ought to please the count no end, as he was just a little conceited. As a military observer in this coun­ try during the Civil war, he wrote copiously for his German readers but told as much about how popu­ lar he was with the American of­ ficers as he did about military ac­ tivities.Im m ediately after the Civil war he stayed in America for a short time to “en- „ joy his populari- Von Zeppelin and while in St. Paul, Minn., he made his first ascent in a balloon.He returned to Germany and con­ tinued to serve in the army until 1891 when he retired with the rank of general and studied aeronautics. In 1900 he made the first ship that rose from the ground. It stayed in the air for 20 minutes but it was wrecked in landing.In 1906 he made two successful flights with another ship of his and traveled 30 miles an hour. The next year his ship made 36 miles an hour and progress was steady from then on. The count died in 1917 dur­ ing the World war when his Zeppe­ lins were at their peak of military usefulness.* * * Morse Code IN A small glass case in a museum at Harvard university is a little ribbon of paper on which is printed a series of dots and dashes. If you know your “Morse code,” you can spell out the message which these dots and dashes tell. “What hath God wrought,” it says.For this is the first message ever sent over the “electric telegraph." It was clicked off on May 24, 1844, in Washington by Sam uel Finley Breeze M orse, former daguerre- otypist and por­ trait painter, who became the in­ ventor of the tele­ graph, to his part­ ner, Alfred Vail, in Baltimore. Its wording was sug­ gested to Morse by Miss Anne S. F. B. Morse Ellsworth, daughter of the commis­ sioner of patents, who had brought him the joyful news that congress had passed an, appropriation with which to carry on his experiments with his invention. As the use of the telegraph spread, men who were skilled in sending messages in the “Morse code” were called “Morse operators” quite as frequently as they were “telegra­ phers.” Later they became known as “boomers” or “lightning-snatch ers” but due to the increasing use ■of modem teletypewriters “Morse men” are rapidly becoming, “van. ishing Americans.”(Released by Western Newspaper Union. > Bok Peace Award to 1923 Edward Bok, the philan­ thropist, founded the American Peace award, offering $100,000 for the most practicable plan to estab- ' lish and' oreserve the peace of the •worltf By CHERIE NICHOLAS IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. tUNDQUIST.

L esson fo r M ay 19 EMBER “way back when” a *-i rainy day was the signal to don your most melancholy looking wearing apparel—dingiest hat that the rain couldn’t spoil, a coat with but the single thought of protection regardless of looks, and “don’t for­ get your rubbers,” the good old- fashioned clumsy kind that gave you an inferiority complex every time you wore them?Thanks to the resourcefulness of present-day fashionists no longer do figures of gloom clad in somber garb canopied with ponderous um­brellas that obscured the view and had an exasperating way of collid­ ing with every kindred umbrella it met, stolidly wend their way through wind, rain and weather. To­ day rain-in-the-air is the bugle call to us modems to dress up in the most cheerful, colorful, pleasing-to- the-eye outfits creators of rainy day fashions have dared to devise. Gay-with-color and smartly styl­ ized rainy day ensembles are abso­ lutely essential in a properly ap­ pointed wardrobe, according to the progressive Twentieth century way of thinking. Utilitarian, of course, is the basic theme, but it is utility served with a smile in terms of cheer and eye-catching attractiveness. The dainty colorful transparent coats with protective headpieces to match that you can fold up in an envelope have a charm about them .that adds witchery to any rainy day scene. Umbrellas are so lovely they nearly outrival parasols. Then there are the practical types of rainy day ensembles made of ma­ terials that are reversible — gab­ ardine on one side and tweed on the other—grand for intensive wear. Speaking of looking your prettiest on a rainy day, the young woman pictured to the left in the illustra­ tion goes stepping in a hooded coat of white oilskin which has raglan sleeves and fitted waistline. She wears white galoshes to match. She does not really need an umbrella but if she should carry one just for effect we are quite sure she would be choosing one of those delectable types made of transparent white oil silk patterned in a design that looks exactly as if actual chalk-white lace had been applied. In reality the lace magic is achieved in an allover motif printed in opaque white. Gayety on a gloomy, rainy day and all because her raincoat is as cheery as a streak of sunshine ap­ plies to the attractively outfitted girl centered in the picture. The coat has raglan sleeves to fit over any garment and a zippered front clos­ ing. A cotton numerical print fab­ ric in striking colors fashions it. The big news about the rainproof fabric of which it is made is that it has been treated with a new syn­ thetic which scientists call koroseal, which not only makes it impervious to water, but also renders it spot- proof and fire resistant. The ma­ terial is also processed so that it does not become stiff or crack with age. Thus does modern genius con­ tinue its wonders to perform. Note her boots, they are the latest. They are amazingly light weight, and easy to slip on. Solve the hateful mud spot on hosiery annoyance perfectly. No clothes worries during spring and summer’s inevitable showers awaits the young miss standing to the right in the group, for her new raincoat is also made of a material treated scientifically as above de­ scribed so that it will victoriously defy the onslaughts of the elements, no matter how fierce the wind or rain. This coat is fashion-right in every sense of the word. It boasts a very new blouse-top silhouette with full skirt giving the wearer a trim figure by the use of shirring at the waistline. If she so chooses she can pull the parka hood up over her hat for protection. The comfortable bishop sleeves will fit over a woolen coat or a summer frock. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

Bruyere shows elephants and Schiaparelli, more eclectic, takes the doves, the penguins, the deer and the fish. Another series of prints uses mod­ em objects such as garden tables and chairs, drawn in such a fash­ ion that they'look almost like lace patterns over a plain ground, wood­ en shoes, castles (chosen by Balen­ ciaga), children’s faces., (on Du- cbarne fabrics), dancing figures . . . many of these in almost miniature sizes. This charming dressmaker suit with its flattering lapels and cuffs of ruffled white pique is made of san- drella, a lightweight closely woven material of virgin wool. The style represents one of the newest fashion developments of the season. The crisp texture of the fabric resists wrinkles and the stress of hard wear. She wears her straw breton in latest approved far-back-on-head fashion.

Tickling the vanity and pleasing the ears of ungodly people with words of flattery and false comfort,' giving them the assurance of peace; and prosperity in the very pursuit of| their sin, did not begin with the: false prophets of the twentieth cen-| tury. Six 'hundred years before, Christ, Jeremiah the prophet had to contend with such false teachers, i His manner of dealing with them is of great interest to us, for essen-. tially the false prophets of that day. used the same methods and had the same false message , that char­ acterize their descendants of today,’ the so-called modernistic religious liberals who are busy everywhere attempting to undermine the faith: of God’s children in His Word. They , are revealed as being destitute ot divine authority, without a real mes-: sage, and under the disfavor and subject to the judgment of God. They are I. Withont Divine Commission (w . 21-22). “I have not sent these prophets”— that should have been sufficient for the people of Judah. A man who Is not sent by God has no word from heaven, no help for needy humanity. He is worse than an admittedly secular teacher or philosopher, for he claims to speak with divine au­ thority and yet has only the disap­ pointing impotence of a liar and a fraud.The reason Judah listened to them was because they so eloquently hushed the condemning voice of their own consciences, assuring them that all was well, when, as a matter of fact, everything was wrong. Men listen to the same kind of teaching today for the very same reason. n . Withont a Divine Message (w . 23-29). These false prophets may delude men, but they have not fooled God. He is not a finite being, limited to this earth (v. 23). He looks on men from the far off viewpoint of heaven and judges by His own high and holy standards. Nor can they hide from Him (v. 24). God hears the word spoken in the academic shelter of a college classroom, secretly poisoning the young person’s heart against the faith of his father and mother. A day of judgment also awaits those who in their public utterances use the phraseology of orthodoxy, while in private they undermine and de­ stroy Christian faith. If a man is foolish enough to sup pose that the dreamings of his own mind and heart will help anyone, let him be honest enough to call them just that; namely, dreams (w, 25-28). But God will assuredly not hold those men guiltless who try to pass off their own philosophies as bearing the approval of God; who would have people honor their assemblies as Christian churches, when they are at best only social or intellectual gatherings designed to magnify man rather than Christ. Note in verse 29 that the Word of God is like the fire that consumes and purifies, and also like the ham­ mer, that breaks up the rocky heart of man. m . Withont Divine Favor and Blesdng (w . 30-32). God is against every false proph­ et. Small wonder that there is the savour of death in their speaking and their works. There is no divine power in their message and no holy dynamic .to enable people to respond to their admonitions. Prominent modernists are decrying in our day the fact that ,their cultured essays and polished philosophies are not reaching the hearts of men and are failing to transform lives. At the Same time, humble preachers and teachers of God’s Word, sometimes in hidden and remote places, are re­ joicing as they see the transforming grace; of God come upon lives as a result of their simple proclamation of the .gospel of grace. Keep on,, brethren; God is with you. Observe what God calls the false prophets—thieves (v. 30) and liars (v. 32). Hard words, but they come from One who is all-knowing, who judges rightly and in love.

SZSiti M O a e v s t o a c a b i n Iff* B Y LIDA LARRIMORE © MACRAE SMITH CO, WHU SERVICE C SYNOPSIS Charming, wealthy GabrieUa (Gay for short) Graham, engaged to Todd Janeway, returns to a cabin In the Maine woods ac­companied by a friend, .Kate Oliver. The idea of a stay at the cabin occurred to her when she received a key to it following the death of her godfather. Uncle John Law­rence. vThe two girls notice immediately that someone has been, and probably is, living In the cabin. Kate suspects that Gay knows the identity of the mysterious occupant While the girls talk, the mystery man returns. CHAPTER II—Continued “Impetuous,” Kate murmured. “He seems to be In a hurry.” He appeared almost before she had completed the thought, a tall, rangy young man in corduroys and a leather coat, the brim of a dark felt hat pulled down over his eyes. He halted abruptly in the doorway, stood surveying the brightly lit room with an expression which changed, as Kate watched, from brusque in­quiry to blank amazement. His face, lean and brown, with promi­ nent cheek-bones and jaw line, was vaguely familiar. She had seen him somewhere, in a quite different set­ ting. Somewhere— “Hello, John.” Gay’s voice sound­ ed completely natural, neither very cordial nor very aloof, certainly not at all surprised. Kate heard her rise from the chair. The young man in the door-way slowly removed his hat. His hair was thick and dark and cut short to thwart, Kate sus­ pected, a tendency toward waves. She doubted whether, after the first quick glance, he was aware of her presence in the room. His eyes re­ mained fixed upon Gay. “Gay—” he said slowly, incredu­ lously. He had a beautiful mouth. “Beau­ tiful” wasn’t a word you used to describe a man, Kate told herself. It was beautiful, though, generous, sensitive, expressive. Wondering recognition kindled in his dark eyes. For an unguarded moment some strong emotion gave his dark, rath­ er grave face a glancing brilliance. Kate found herself, in that moment of silence, almost holding her breath. “I have the advantage, John,” Gay said. “I knew it was you who was here.” The brilliance faded out of his face. Kate saw his mouth set a little grimly. "You usually have, haven’t you?” he asked quietly. ■ “Not always.” The question seemed to have shaken Gay’s com­ posure. She turned to Kate. “Kate,” she said, “Miss Oliver, may I pre­ sent—Is it—Doctor Houghton now?” she asked, turning again to the tall young man in the doorway. “Doctor Houghton,” he affirmed. He smiled at Kate a little diffident­ ly. “I’ve met Miss Oliver,” he said. “Certainly. How-do-you-do?” Kate remembered now. She had the answer. This was Dr. Lawrence’s nephew, John, who’d come With him to Gay’s debutante party. This was the young man with whom Gay had stolen away from the party that night. She, Kate, had seen them re­ turning. She remembered now. Gay’s face, soft and bright, framed in the collar of a white fur coat, upturned to the tall young man bend-. ing to speak to her in the dimly lit passage that led to a side-door of the ball-room. She had the answer but it did not relieve her concern. There was something between Gay and this young man. Kate felt it vibrating in the air of the room though the words they spoke were casual. This was the motive, then, whether she’d known he was here or the meeting was a coincidence. This, he, was why she had wanted to come. Kate gave a distracted thought to Gay’s family, to a blond young man with charming manners, whom she liked very 'riiuch. “Heaven help ,us!” shesaid silent­ ly, the shadow of events to come lying darkly across her mind. And then, because her rectory past would pop up now and'then, “The prayers of the congregation are requested,” she added. "Of course you’ve met Kate.” The singing vibration was in Gay’s voice, “I’m sorry. I had forgotten.” “I hadn’t." He took a few steps forward into the room. “Miss .Oli­ ver rescued me, on one occasion, from a fate worse .than death.” “I remember,” ..Kate said. Gay glanced at her" quickly. Kate was lighting a cigarette. Her eyes in the spurt of flame from the match were twinkling under the frown that knotted her brows. “You had,” she added, speaking to John, “a tenden­ cy to bolt into empty rooms.” “It was my first debutante party,” he said. His diffident half-smile wid­ ening into an engaging grin, ex­ cluded Gay. That studied indif­ ference enraged her now as it had when she was fifteen. She had, she discovered, exactly the same im­pulse to do something, anything, to attract and hold his attention. “You’re looking well,” she said, “You’re looking well, too.” His eyes, regarding her steadily across the space which separated them, held a faintly ironical expression which she remembered very well. “I’m relieved.” The engaging grin slant­ ed side-wise. “Your photographs have given me the impression that you’d been skipping your vitamins and losing too much sleep.” “My photographs—?” Gay ques­ tioned. “The press has been giving you considerable space recently,” he said in reply. The press! Had they done some­thing stupid at home? Gay’s eyes flew to meet Kate’s startled glance. Kate’s expression was not reassur­ ing. She looked as though she was resigning herself to some inevita­ ble disaster. Gay turned again to John. “This time you have the advan­ tage,” she said. “We haven’t seen the papers for two days.” She fancied, for a moment, that he, as well as Kate, knew the thought which had flashed into her mind. His expression was wholly ironical. But— “I was referring to the rotogra­ vure sections,” he said, “and the fifty-cent magazines.” He hesitated, then, “May I wish you happiness?” he asked. “Why not?” “I do wish that for you.” He con­ tinued to regard her steadily but the slanting smile had vanished and his eyes were very grave. “Thank you, John.” His steady gaze presently altered. He glanced around the room. “I’m a very poor host,” he said. “You’ve had to bring in your lug­ gage and get your supper. I’ve been talking politics up at the village store. Why didn’t you let me know you were coming?” The question had, for Gay, only one implication. Besentment, like a fresh breeze blowing through a room too warm and perfumed, cleared the confusion from her mind. “Did you think I knew you were here?” she asked quietly but with warmth kindling in her voice. He turned to look at her in sur­ prise. “But if you didn’t, why did you come?” Resentment flamed into anger. But anger was stupid. She returned his glance directly, her chin uncon­ sciously lifting, her eyes bright and scornful. “You haven’t become less—fatu­ ous, have you?” she asked. “I didn’t mean that the way it sounded,” he said quickly. “I’m not that fatuous. I meant, how did you expect to get in unless someone was here?” Her level glance did not waver. His momentary confusion gave her the advantage. She pressed it reso­ lutely, still smarting from humiliat­ ed pride. “Why should I have had the faint­ est idea that you, especially, should be here?” she asked. “But who else would be?” His ex­ pression was frankly puzzled. lTve never rented it. My kid sister had a house-party here this summer. Otherwise it hasn’t been occupied except when I’ve been here.” She pressed her advantage stub­ bornly, : incensed by the posses­ sive tone in which he spoke of her property. “Who gave you permis­ sion to use the cabin at any time?" she asked. “Permission—?” He stared at her in perplexity. ‘Didn’t you know that Uncle John left the cabin to me?” “To you?” “Yes.” It was the granddaughter of David Graham speaking, the granddaughter of Peter Schuyler, secure in her inherited assurance, quite obviously taking pleasure in the routing of an intruder. “But that’s impossible,” he said crisply. “His lawyer sent me a key three years ago nearly,” Gay said, “just after Uncle John died.” She watched him intently, expect­ ing some attempt at justification, explanations,- an apology, perhaps. She did not expect the smile of .somewhat incredulous amusement which crept slowly upward from bis lips into his eyes.“Does that impress you as being amusing?” she asked with dignity. “Uncle John was my god-father. There’s no particular reason, is there, why he shouldn’t have, left the cabin to me?” "I suppose there isn’t,” he said, as though that point was of small im­ portance. The smile deepened. “I was just wondering how many oth­ er people-are likety to pop in here with keys. You see,” he continued in reply to her questioning glance, “Uncle John’s lawyer sent one to me. I naturally assumed that the cabin was mine and have used it whenever I’ve had a chance.” She had not considered that possi­ bility. It was true, of course. It was the only logical explanation. She felt, for a moment, in sympathy with John, who, as well as she, was the victim of some sentimentality or eccentricity contrived by a mem­ ber of an older generation. But Un­cle John, as she remembered him, had been neither sentimental nor eccentric. The lawyer had made a mistake, perhaps. At any rate, it wasn’t John’s fault any more than it was hers. “I understand that,” she said, “because I assumed that it belonged to me.” Neither pride nor resent­ ment was entirely proof against the humor in the situation, against the charm of his rare slow smile. Her eyes met John’s in laughter and sympathy. Then— “So you can’t turn me out after all, can you?” he asked. “No,” she said slowly, consider­ ing. “But I can ask you to go.” His smile faded a little. "Are you planning to stay—indef­ initely?” he asked. “Not longer than a week, per­ haps.” “I have another week,” She knew that he, too, was considering, choos- 4T must make my—experiment here.” ing his words with deliberation, try­ ing to gauge their probable effect upon her. “It’s rather an impor­ tant week,” he went on, “my last vacation, probably, for some time.” “This week is important for me, too,” Gay said with equal delibera­ tion. My last of—” She paused, then added, smiling, “—of vacation prob­ ably for some time.” The slanting smile, more mocking than amused, told her that he under­ stood the implication of the pause and the smile. “I should be a gentleman .and clear out, I suppose,” he said slow­ ly. “Unfortunately, it isn’t as simple as that. I’m making an experi­ ment,” he said diffidently. “It’s just getting well under way.” "Amateur photography?” Kate asked from her position against the. chimney. “Probably of no greater impor­ tance,” he said with a deprecating laugh. Kate shouldn’t have, Gay thought, feeling again that reluctant but com­ pelling sympathy for John. Kate was getting back at her. She de­ served it, perhaps, but he didn’t. “I suggested photography,” Gay said. “I thought possibly the ma­ terials in your laboratory were things Uncle John had left.” “I’m sorry. It’s just that—” He ran his hand with an impatient ges­ ture across his crisp dark hair. “It probably won’t amount to anything, but I want to see it through. If I leave here now, all that I’ve done will be lost.” “I suppose I should be a lady and leave you in peace,” Gay said qui­ etly, quite steadily, but with a silken thread of retaliation running through her voice. “Unfortunately, that isn’t so simple, either. I’m making an experiment.” "And you must make it here?” “Yes,” she said, after a moment. “I came for that purpose. I must make my—experiment here.” A pause followed, not warm and intimate as the first had been. This was a truce, a break in active hos­tilities. John walked to the table and picked up his pipe. Gay stood half-leaning against the back of the chair, watching the movements oi his hands in the yellow cone of lamp-light. She remembered them, brown and strong, against a canoe paddle, brown in lamplight as she saw them now, moving chess-men across a waxed apple-wood board, lean and brown but unsteady as they, were now, on the sleeve of a white- fur coat. Hands had an identity ol their own. She would have recog­ nized them anywhere. Strange and very disquieting. Her throat, ached and, suddenly, humiliatingly, she felt the hot sting of tears behind her eyelids . . . Kate broke the silence. “Well, cer­ tainly no one is leaving tonight;”, she said practically. “It’s after ten- o’clock now.” Gay glanced at her in gratitude which held, as well, an element of surprise. “You can draw straws in the morning,” Kate continued. “Or per­ haps one or the other of these—ex­ periments will be completed by then.” “Of course,” he said, after only a slight hesitation. “There are, un­ fortunately; no hotel accommoda­ tions nearer than Machias.” “And that,” Kate said cheerfully, “would, I think, be carrying mat­ ters much too far.” “I agree with you.” He smiled ap­ preciatively at Kate. “There’s a cot in the room I work in. You can have the larger room, there. I see you’ve brought blankets and there is linen, I think.” He started toward the door. “I’ll get my things out of the way.” “Don’t bother,” Kate said, start­ ing with her tray toward the kitch­ en. “We can manage just for to­ night.” They were ignoring her, Gay thought, making plans in which she had no voice. He was friendly enoughwith Kate. Gay resented that friendliness from which she was ex­ cluded. She felt, again, a compel­ ling urge to attract and hold IUs at­tention. “John—” she said. He stopped at the door, turned, stood waiting for her to continue. Kate, at the kitchen door, glanced back over her shoulder. Gay held herself very erect. “I will not be leaving tomorrow," she said, conscious of and regretting the arrogance in her voice. She would have liked to reach him through friendliness. Arrogance was too ob­vious and too petty an approach. But whatever he felt for her it was not friendliness. The glance he ex­ changed, now, with Kate impelled her to add, “Kate can do as she likes, of course. I shall stay.” “Which means—?” he asked. “That I will appreciate it if you’ll remove your things from the room.” He was silent for a moment. Then, “Certainly,” he said civilly. “Now, Gay—” Kate began with some asperity, paused, rolled her eyes upward, compressed her lips and went out into the kitchen. John remained standing in the opposite doorway. The slanting smile ap­ peared as her eyes met his. “The long arm of coincidence.” he said. “It is—incredible.” “Not too incredible. You might have found me here any one of a number of times during the past three years.” (TO BE CONTINUED) U- S. Families on Relief Buy ‘Protective* Foods What do families on relief actual­ ly by with blue stamps issued free as a practical method for distribut­ ing foods of which there is a surplus supply? What foods do they choose when they have opportunity to select as they please from a limited list of surplus foods? If . is too early to draw general conclusions, says Milo Perkins, in charge of the United States depart­ ment of agriculture food-stamp pro­ gram. But for a six-week period the stamp holders spent a little more than 80 per cent of their blue stamps for “protective” foods and a IitUe less than 20 per cent for flour, com meal, rice and beans. For this period the stamp, plan was effective in five cities. There were minor differences in adminis­ trative methods to discover which variations of the basic plan seemed to work best. In general, orange- colored stamps, which were bought by the relief family, could be used- to buy any foods, and half as many blue stamps given free could be spent only for foods on the official surplus list. At that time the sur­ plus list included butter, eggs, oranges, grapefruit, peaches, pears, cabbages, peas, tomatoes, onions, dried prunes, white flour, graham flour, com meal and rice.

Congress has its weather eye on the fact that this is election year. It is, therefore, trying to make as many friends as possible with its liberal grants, doles, subsidies and and handouts to those who votes are important. This must be the motivation of so many efforts to liberalize pension grants to soldiers of past wars and their families—and some of these days, perhaps, we will be including iii this list of soldier beneficiaries, “and their acquaintances.’’ The House recently overrode the veto of a bill gianting $3,000,0 0 0 in deferred-travel allowances to veter­ ans of the Spanisb-American war. The Senate Pensions committee has, in addition, recently reported favorably a measure, already un animously passed by the House making Civil war widows eligible for pcnsons even if they married Civil war veterans after 1905. And now on Hay 13 the House will consider still another bill to liberalize requirements for pensions for World war vetetans. It is now proposed to make pen­ sions available to dependent widows and dependent parents of deceased World war veterans even if these died without a disability connect* ed with the war. However, the veteran must have had at least 90 days’ service beginning prior to November 11, 1918, (April 2,1920, for those who served in Russia. I Childless widows must have been married to the veteran prior to July 3, 1921. If a child was born of the marriage, widows are eligible if mairied to the veterans prior to May 13, 1938. Childle-s widows would receive $20 a month. Widows with child- red would receive $20 plus $8 for the first child, $6 for a second child, $4 for each additional child. Where there are children but no widow, the rates are $12 for one child, $iS for two children, $24 for three, and $3 additional for each additional child. For parents of a deceased veteran the Tate is $20 a month for one, $30 for two. The Veterans’ Bureau estimates that the bill if atiacted would cover during the first year 97,200 widows, 23,500 children without mothers, and parents of 32,800 deceased veterans. The total cost for the Grst year would be about $48,500,. 000 if all those eligible applied, plus an unestimated amount for special cases. Of course, as more and more veterans died in the years to come, th e amounts payable would increase, especially as the amounts payable would increase, especially as the provisions were more and more liberel. At present, all widows and de­ pendent parents of World war vet. erans dying as a result of tbe war are entitled to pensions. If the veterans did not die as a result of the war but at the time of death had a disability due to tbe war, his widow is entitled to a pen- sion if her income is less than $1,000 if single or$2,500 if married. Tbe pending bill applies only to dependent widows and dependent parents. “Dependent” is to be as defined by the regulations of the Veterans* Administration, which have considerably lower limits than tbe $1,000 and $2,500 income levels. Veterns’ legislation has its best chance in an election year. ' The orginal World war bonus law went through over a veto in 1924, a presidential election year. The bonus, certificates were , in ef­ fect almost doubled in value, bv being made payable at once, again over a veto, in 1936, anotbeT presi­ dential year.—Charlotte Observer.

The economv drive in the pre­ sent Congress way never so much of drive from the start; but what there was of it has manifestly 'bog­ ged down with a bang. Tbe spending still goes on the same old way, at the rate of about two dollars going out for every one dollar coming in. This, of course, is considered to be good politics during an election year, but .it is nothing short of eco­ nomic suicide any year. At the moment, the nation is only about $2,500,000,000 short of reach­ ing the present Federal debt limit of $45,000,000,000. In other words, as a. people, we are some : $42,500,000,000 in the hole—and . that doesn’t include Federal guaranteed obligations, which runs into several billions more. * The bulk of that debt has been created, since depression started, de spite the highest peace-time taxes in our history. We’ve primed the pump until the golden flood ran over—but the prime didn!t take. Itisobvious to anyone that re­ covery has not been produced. It Js equally obvious tbat business: is more worried abont the little or .no dent has been made in the total ,.of the unemployed. ITis obvious that government farmrelief, which- has .been practically a flop.—Charlotte Observer.' MAYBE You G a Mdcc Mwiw Without ADVERTISING* F a c ts A b o u t S ta te . . The Consumer Market D a ta Handbook issued by the U. S. de­ partment of commerce 'gives some interesting facts about the econo­ mic status of North Carolina. Here they are: In 1930 the percentage of people owning their homes in North Ca­ rolina was 44 , Utah wa3 on top with 61 and Georgia and South Carolina were tied for the bottom place with 31. Sales per capita in North Caro Iina totaled $146: Nevada led with $482 and Mississippi was a poor last with $89. In 1935 North Carolina had r2 people per thousand making in­ come tax returns. Mississippi was on the bottom with only 7 while Nevada was on top with yi. North Carolina bad 57 cars per 1,000 people. Nevada wason top with 71. The average value per farm in North Carolina was $2,069.

The Shelby Daily Star: Liquor. Sales in ABC stores in North Carolina increased last month. The so-called “gain” over March, 1939. was $116,369. It may be just a coincidence, but there were 45 highway fatalities la s t ■ month. Everybody involved may have been cold sober. There’s nothing to boast about' in the increase in liquor sales. It’s not something to be proud of; as those sales increased something else de­ creased went down' as the liquor went down the throats of. those who caused the increase. North Carolina is becoming ac­ customed to increases, of all sorts— increased crops, increased school en rollment, increased bank deposits and ottier worth-while increased use of liquor will not contribute to -the strte’s welfare. WRITEA WANTAD CASH <IN ON STUFF IN THE S p e e d A n d T im e . Speed is the leading cause of highway deaths. - Ask ten people who go speeding along the highways in their auto­ mobiles at Ilio rate of a mile per minute or more and if you find one of the ten has a logical reason for making such a high speed it will be surprising. The speeders are not those who really need to get some place quick. Most of them are not going any­ where in particular and have all day to get there. ‘ Yet they want to “burn the wind” and endanger other lives as well as their own. One of tbe best articles we have seen on the subject of speed is the following comment by J. F. Win Chester, who is connected with one of the big oil companies: ' Have you ever tried to figure out just how little time you actually save by tearing along tbe road, violating the rights of others, pass­ ing stoplights, jeopard’zing your own Iite and the lives of others and engaging iu reckless weaving in aud ont of traffi.? The cuances are that, you feel this saves vou a great deal of time. As a matter of fact it saves you very little time, disregarding total­ ly- the fact tbat. such practices are quite likely to resti't in your not getting to where you're going: or at least, not getting there in- one piece. ' A mid western police department made a test which proves this. Two cars were directed to cover a twelve mile course. D iver A was intro­ duced to drive normally; tbat is, to obey' every traffic regulation and to drive with couttesy to the other fellow. He was told to avoid heed­ less delay and instructed not to dawdle. Driver-B an old-time race driver, on tbe other hand, was told to dash madly along, beat traffic lanes, pass! street, cars on the left and to make all possible speed. Both drivers did as they were in strutted. The result was'that- the crazv driver beat'the careful driver to their -joint destination by only three minutes I Draw your own moral from this, but remember it the next time you you are in such a hurty you’re tempted to drive like the proverbial bat. -E x .

In addition to this fine nursery, Mr. Brown is al. so the owner of a fine male Guern sey calf which is about ten days old. It is nothing unusual for a nurseryman to own a calf, but there are but few nurserymen who can boast of owning a calf that was born without a tail. The calf is normal in all other respects. l i t t l e S tin g e r s . (From The Yellow Jacket) One dangerous difference between the G. 0. P. and the New Deal way of running the government is that the New Dealers mistake wish­ es for facts—and act accordingly. The people are beginning to wonder if Sumner WeIIes isn’t just another Colonel House who messed around in the Wilson administra­ tion till be got this country into war. What faith can we place in this administration to keep us out of war? Remember that Wilson and his crowd solemnly promised to keep us out. It's the same old Wilson cry and it behooves every­ body to beware. The G. O. P. is the anti-war party as time will tell. The National Economy League makes the rather stait'.ing statement that the direct and guaranteed debt of the United States has reached a total $48 ,050,000 000. And Con­ gress goes hog-Tiild right along in piling up additional debt by tbe hundreds of millions. Brother, may we offer a word of cantion: Don't depend on fighting Democrats for Republican success. They are used to fighting one an­ other. Today they will be calling each other sous of something else and tomonow you will see them locked in affectionate embrace. The practice of tariff making by some other agenry than Congress has come about so gradually that few realize whac is being done to the nation or the Republican party. Congress is the logical agency tor t iriff making, net a board C ie ale d by the Executive. By i s extravagant appropria­ tions, the present Congress shows no interest for the Iaxpayets than a huugry wolf shows for a bleating lamb.

T S J E W Y O R K . — It just happens that a specialist in bankruptcy law is the co-partner of General Trujillo of the Dominican Republic in installing the first of the European refugees in their island haven under the Trujillo plan. But, ,this specialist, John N. Rosenberg, N e w York lawyer, has, since the World war, been occupied with the large-scale human-race bankruptcy of wa r and famine in Europe, so he is entering no n e w field. H e is president of the Dominican Resettle­ ment association, which is co­ operating with General Trujillo in •what appears to be an absolutely unique experiment in giving SOO refugees a ne w start in the western world, with houses, roads, land, cat­ tle and farm implements ready for them. Mr. Rosenberg has helped liquidate and rebuild all sorts of financial and social wreckage, including Ivar Kreuger’s Inter­national Match company. Hels the author of “Corporate Re­ organization and the Federal Courts,” but he Is also the author of another book called “Punchinello.” Fantasy, or at any rate, a play of the imagination, has occupied quite as m u c h of his time as law and bankruptcy. H e has painted hundreds of pictures, m a n y of which are hung in good galleries, includ­ ing the Fogg m u s e u m of Harvard. H e is an etcher, lithographer and playwright, and Broadway has pro­ duced his plays. For six years he was associated with Kenneth Mac- G o w a n and Stark Young in backing the Frovincetown theater. His short stories have appeared in m a n y magazines. A U this with time out to be counsel for the Irving Trust company. The foregoing might suggest the activities of a trap-drum- mer. But he is, instead, leisure­ly and meditative, an easy­ going pipe-smoker who always seems to have a lot of time on his hands. Another of his books is “Pastel Expression.” He is busy in communal, civic and philanthropic enterprises and in the immediate post-war years was head of the American Joint Distribution Commission for Europe. This took him to Rus­ sia, and he WTote a book about that, too—“On the Steppes.” If there is to be a genera] European receivership—financial and cul­ tural—he might as well take over. He is a native of Al­legheny, Pa., educated at Colum­ bia university.

She says they find it difficult to use the dictionary because they don’t know the alphabetical sequence of letters. Messrs. Hutchins and Barr would scrap much of the present school curriculum and start rubbing in the great books of the ages, in which they find strong support by Mortimer J. Adler, with his challenging new book, “How to Read a Book.” In 1937, Mr. Barr burned his bridges behind him, when he and young Scott Buchanan, ^Jean of St. John’s, started their revolution. A native of Suffolk, Va., Mr. Barr at­ tended the University of Virginia, was a Rhodes scholar and pursued post-graduate studies in Paris and at the University of Ghent, Belgium. H e was in the ambulance service in the World war and taught at the Universities of Virginia and Chicago before becoming president of St, John’s.

He needed another leading man, one convincing in strength and act­ing ability, to be Cooper’s rival for Madeleine Carroll’s hand. It took another three months before he could fill that part with Preston Fos­ ter. Whereupon he decided that there weren’t nearly enough good looking young he-man actors in Hollywood.

STHEYCEMANS and ELMO SCOTI WATSOH Lutheran TT’S a common thing today to say a person is a Lutheran, referring to one’s religion. But when Martin Luther, more than four centuries ago, began to disagree with just a few of the beliefs of the established church, no one thought—especially Luther himself—that he was start­ ing a new faith that millions would follow and call Lutheranism. Martin Luther was born in Sax­ ony in 1483 and given a very strict religious training. He became a priest when he was 25. Ten years later he chal­ lenged some of the teachings of his church. He had no intention of starting the Reformation or even of denying the supremacy of MartmLuther flle c£air o£ SL Peter. But the church made such an issue of his heresy—and he fought back so zealously—that finally, in 1520, Luther was excommunicated and his writings were burned at Home, Cologne and Louvain. His answer was to burn the papal bull which excommunicated him and he was hailed as the champion of re­ ligious liberty. From 1526 to 1529 he prepared a new church service, corresponding to his ideas of the doctrines of the gospel. The Eeformation spread rapidly. & I Wedgwood Ware P YOU are the owner of a prized piece of Wedgwood ware, you probably know that it’s named for Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795), the fa­ mous English pottery maker. But do you know that, as an American, you have an even better reason for holding his name in grateful remem­ brance? For Wedgwood was a lead­ er among the Englishmen who not only sympathized with the Ameri­ can colonies dur- / ing the Revolu- K tion but did more j than that. He dis- V tr ib u te d pro- American litera- TKSi j*''ture among his coimtrymen and helped build up such a strong sen­ timent against the IBfljf-'- I war that the king SifKiAjfll1' and his ministers were willing to J. Wedgwood stop it after the capture of Corn­ wallis.Wedgwood also contributed heavi­ ly to a fund which was raised in England to make easier the unhappy lot of Americans imprisoned there during the war and in a short time this amounted to nearly $500 per prisoner. We should also remember him gratefully because his portrait medallions of hundreds of impor­ tant personages of his time (similar to the one illustrating this article) give us an idea, which we would not otherwise have, of the appear­ ance of those notables. Such were the services of this man who, despite the handicap of illness and a lack of education, not only “placed the hitherto undevel­ oped pottery industry of England on the pinnacle upon which it now . stands” but was also a very great artist who belongs to all mankind.» • • Titian-Haired fF AIX the authors who have de- 1 scribed their pretty heroines as having titian hair were placed end to end and then asked to describe what they meant by titian, most of them would be out of luck. Titian hair — or titian anything else, for that matter—is a color that characterizes many of the paintings of one of the world’s greatest art­ ists whose name was Titian. His full name was Ti- ziano Vecelli and he was born in the Venetian Alps in 1477. The color which he was the first to put upon can­ vas and for which present authors take his name in vain, is a reddish- yellow and very Titian vivid. The yellow is so prominent and the mixture so dazzling that girls who had that kind of hair would scare the heroes away. Titian painted thousands of pic­ tures and became very wealthy. He was more than 95 years old when he died. (Released by. Western Newspaper Union) Beal Mythical Birds Great mythical birds which once flew over Mt.

Household News I SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT < (See K ecipes Below) New Recipes for Your File “Something old and something new” is just as important in menus as it is in a bride’s costume. It’s a good idea, when you plan to experiment with something en­ tirely new, to in­ clude in that meal one dish you know the family is really keen about. For instance, if the dessert is some­ thing very new and different, be sure that the main dish of your meal is one that’s familiar and well-liked. And, it's an excellent idea, when most of a meal is composed of fam­ ily favorites, to include one new dish for a touch of variety. It may be a cut of meat that you haven’t used before, prepared in an unusual manner; or perhaps it will be a vegetable that’s new and strange to you; or it might be just an out-of- the-ordinary conserve or relish to supplement last summer’s supply, which, by this time is probably run­ ning very low. You’ll find, here, an assortment of recipes for foods that are unusual and delicious. There’s a new way of preparing shoulder of beef—in one of those easy casserole dishes you like to serve, where you don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen; serve the Bake^ Shoulder Steak with baked or scalloped pota­ toes, buttered green beans and rhu­ barb pie, and watch your family beam! “Pork chop treat” served with a crisp,'chilled salad of lettuce, ap­ ples, and dates, needs only a bev­ erage, bread and a favorite dessert to make a completely satisfying meal; and if you want to please the man of the family in any kind of weather, serve “pork chops deli­ cious” with cheese biscuits, a sim­ ple green salad, lemon meringue pie and coffee.

JEREMIAH ANNOUNCES THE NEW COVENANT LESSON TEXT—Jeremiah 31:31-37.GOLDEN TEXT—I wUl put ray law In their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.—Jeremiah 31:33. God’s law written in the hearts of all men—surely that is the'ultimate goal of all of our efforts, and therein we will find the solution of all of our problems. Jeremiah the prophet, in the midst of a despairing people with only captivity and sorrow be­ fore them because of their sinful rebellion against God, gives a prophetic foregleam of the day when all Israel and Judah should know God. Sin was to be forgiven, fellowship restored, and men over all the earth were to know God. Obviously, that prophecy is still future for Israel, but in the mean­ time God has permitted us to enter into the enjoyment of our covenant of grace. I. The Old Covenant (w . 31, 32). The promise of a new covenant at once raises the question, “What was the old covenant?” We do not have space to make any complete study of it, but we note that while God did make a great covenant with Abraham, founding the nation of Israel (Gen. 17:1-14), the reference by Jeremiah is evidently to the cov­ enant with Moses (Exod. 20-23). We observe that it was 1. National (v. 32). The old cov­ enant was made with Israel only, and could bring blessing to the other nations of the earth only indirectly, as they might share the peace and prosperity which would have come to Israel had they been obedient to God. God was here dealing with a chosen nation for whom He had a specific plan and purpose. 2. Limited (v. 32). The blessing of the old covenant was limited not only in the sense that it was national, but also in that it was con­ ditional. God’s promise hinged on His word in Exodus 19:5: “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people.” In other words, the fulfillment of this cov­ enant was dependent on the faith­ fulness of the people. We know that they failed. 3. Broken by Israel (v. 32). God was like “an husband” (v. 32) unto Israel. He was patient, tender, for­ giving, always trying to restore them to Himself. He used His great power on their behalf as He “took them by the hand,” and yet we read "my covenant they brake” (v. 32). Human failure in spite of God’s promise and goodness, that is the history of man under law. Now, however, we turn to the new covenant of grace. n . The New Covenant (w . 33-37). Jeremiah looked forward to the day when there was to be a cov­ enant that is 1. Personal (v. 33). Thereference here is not to a law written in a book, which may be neglected or forgotten, or broken because there is no power in man to keep it. This new law is to be written in the hearts of men. It is personal—not something which he shares as a member of a great nation. 2. Universal (v. 34). From the least to the greatest, every man shall know God. That promise awaits its future complete fulfill­ ment to Israel (and remember that God has not forgotten His people). Even now, however, we have the spiritual fulfillment of the promise in the Church. It is true now that, regardless of nationality, education, wealth, or position, the grace of God is made manifest in the hearts of men and women everywhere. 3. Assured by God (w . 35-37). The old covenant of law failed, for it hinged upon the faithfulness of undependable man—“If ye will” (Exod. 19:5). But the new.coyenant of grace rests upon the “I will” of God (v. 34; see also Heb. 8:10-12). This is indeed “a better covenant,, which was established upon better promises” (Heb. 8:6). It is an “everlastingcovenant” (Heb. 13:20). Be Satisfied I say to thee, be thou satisfied. It is recorded of the hares that with a general consent they went to drown themselves, out of a feeling of their misery; but when they saw a company of frogs more fearful than they were, they began-to take courage and comfort again. Com­ pare thine estate with others.—Rob­ ert Burton. Doing Good Secretly When others do you a favor speak of it. When you do your neighbor, a kindness, let him find it out; then you will find a lot of satisfaction in the fact that you have been decent. —Van Amburgh.

T H E F O R D W R T O F D O IN G B U S IN E S S T he Ford Motor Company was founded by a working-man for working-men. Its present officers began as employees of the Company. Itwasdiefirstcompanytopay a minimum wage, beginning in 1914, at the then astounding figure of #5 a day. That was double the prevailing wage of the time. The Ford minimum is now Jlfi a day for all employees engaged in pro­ duction work. And from that, the wages rise to £10.80 a day, with the average wage £7.25, exclusive of salaried employees. T he Ford Motor Com­ pany was die first large company to establish the 8-hour day—also in 1914. And the 40-hour week was inaugurated by the Ford Motor Company in 1926, years before any such laws existed. T h e Ford Motor Com­ pany employs men with­ out regard to race, creed or color. It is common knowledge that working conditions in the Fotd shops are the best that science and constant care can make them. A_ square deal, a just wage and stabilized employment for a large proportion of our employees— and as fully stabi­ lized for all as conditions will permit — enable our men to retain their personal independence. I n consequence of these policies the Ford Motor Company has one of the finest bodies of employees in the world. The larger proportion are mature men of long Henry Ford and Edsd Ford keep daily per­ sonal touch with all phases of Ford manu­ facture. Inaconference with his staff, Henry Ford often says: "Go ahead—Fll sit here and represent the service with die Company—sober, decent family men. Hundreds of them have been with the Company for more than 25 years — thousands for more than 15 years. Their health record, home owner­ ship and citizenship records are good. Au this is reflected in Ford products, whether cars, trucks or tractors. The work is honesdy done. Materials are the best that can be made or procured. Less profit to the Company and more value to the customer is known . throughout the motoring world as "Ford’s way o£ doing business.” lo rd Motor Company was the first to make a motor car within the means of the average family—quitting the manufacture of what was then the largest selling model in the world to do so. Its chosen field in aU the 30 years since that time has been the average American family —for which it has consistently provided car facilities which formerly only the wealthy could buy. I t is the policy of the Ford Motor Com­ pany to share the benefits of advanced methods and management with workers and public alike. Increased wages and employment over a period of many years have resulted In A 300-per cent increase in the built-in value of the Ford car and at 73 per cent reduction in Us price.

Sincere Friend A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.—R. W. Emer­ son. wo keys to a cabin B Y LIDA L A R R I M O R Ee MACKAB SMITH CO. WNU SERVICE SYNOPSIS Charming, wealthy Gabriella (Gay for short) Graham, engaged to Todd Janeway, returns to a cabin In the Maine woods ac­companied by a friend, Kate Oliver. The idea of a stay at the cabin occurred to her when she received a key to it following the death of her godfather. Uncle John Law­rence. The two girls notice that someone Is living In the cabin. .Kate suspects that Gay knows the identity of the mysterious occupant. The mystery man returns. He is John Houghton, a young doctor whom Gay had known In previous years. Immediately aggressive. Gay asks him by what right he Is In the cabin. His right, she finds, is greater than her own. He. too, possesses a key, but more than that, is heir to it from his Uncle John, Gay’s godfather. Gay is high handed with him, and he states courteously that he will leave. CHAPTER II—Continued “I had no thought of finding you, John,” said Gay. “I know that.” He had, she thought, interpreted her statement as a rebuff. The smile vanished. 'T m sorry to be a—complication.” He was a complication. He had been a complication since the night they’d driven together through Cen­ tral Park, before that, even, since the summer here at the lake. She realized, now, how largely he’d been responsible for her dissatisfaction, her restlessness, her uncertainty concerning her approaching mar­ riage to Todd- A complication? That was too unimportant a word. Look­ ing at John, silent and unapproach­ able in the doorway, feeling his pres­ ence here in every tingling nerve, with every racing heartbeat, Gay knew she had found the answer to troubling questions. He was nec­essary to her, had always been, since she was fifteen years old. Todd was not a necessity,. It was as sim­ ple, as hopelessly, frighteningly in­ volved as that. CHAPTER III He’d have to clear out. He’d have to clear out, now, tonight, before he saw her again. John walked, rest­ less, in long plunging strides, along the rutted clay-shell road. The ex­ periment was less important than what was certain to happen to him if he remained at the cabin. He’d fought that battle twice before, and he had no intention of exposing him­ self to the necessity of fighting it again. ' But wasn’t that necessity already upon him? He’d wondered how he would feel if, by chance, he should meet her again. Chance, assisted by Uncle John, had given him that knowledge. He felt as he’d felt when they parted six years ago. There was something between them which time and separation had not altered, more vital than it had been three years, six years ago, because they were more mature, now, more emo­ tionally aware. Not that he hadn't been emotion­ ally aware of her that summer she’d spent at the cabin with Uncle John. He should have cleared out then, he told himself a trifle grimly, in­stead of prolonging what he had in­ tended to be a week-end visit into a stay of three weeks. He should have left before the day she’d turned her ankle walking with him through the woods and he’d carried her to the cabin in his arms. After that nothing could have induced him to leave. He remem­ bered with a feeling of tenderness for the innocent ardor of their re­ lationship which resentment could not efface, the week which had fol­lowed. He remembered saying good-by to her at the station in Machfas, straining for a last'glimpse of her face, young and defenseless in the transient grief of parting, tears glittering on her lashes, her wide sweetly curved mouth trem­ bling in an effort tosm U e^^IU l^ii soon, Jolu^M flB M M ||w i that the door must be closed and locked and the key thrown away. The key? John turned, realizing that he had reached the village. Why had Uncle John made that gesture? he wondered, walking more slowly back toward the cabin. He’d known, of course, of that young attachment between himself and Gay. It probably hadn’t been diffi­ cult for Uncle John to read his thoughts the morning after the party in New York when he, John, had insisted, stubbornly and not very considerately, that they return to Cambridge at once. And Uncle John loved Gay. He had for her a deeper affection, perhaps, than for anyone in the world except him. But Uncle John should have fore­ seen, he thought irritably, that noth­ ing of lasting value could come of that attachment. He was romantic, idealistic, in the way of his genera­tion, but he was neither sentimental nor impractical. He must have seen that he, John, and Gabriella Gra­ ham lived in different worlds, that each would be a stranger in the at­ mosphere familiar to the other. Per­ haps though, the thought continued, when you were dying, such things as wealth or a lack of it, the differences in viewpoint which wealth engen­ dered, the distinctions and antago­ nisms it raised seemed relatively unimportant. Uncle John had known he hadn’t long to live when they’d gone to New York. Perhaps during the following weeks, when his grasp on living had loosened, some wis­ dom had come to him which, by the gesture, he had attempted to com­ municate to them. Perhaps—-But the wisdom which might come with death was, now, of no practical value. He and Gay had, in all probability, a great deal of living to do. Their divergent courses were charted, had been de­ termined, he supposed, long before they met here at the lake. That meeting was accidental and had no influence upon the direction of their, separate lives. He was going to Portland to take over Dr. Sargeant’s practice for a year in payment for loans which had enabled h^o to complete his medical course at Har­ vard. After that, if he could man­ age to support himself, he was going on with scientific research. There were before him years of work which he loved, of loneliness which he accepted. Gay was to marry Todd Janeway— He had not allowed himself to think of that until now. His thoughts had moved warily, dodging that painful fact. But it must be faced, squarely and honestly. The fact must be accepted and removed from his mind. He’d known, of course, almost as soon as the engagement had been announced. He’d thought he had accepted it. He’d been able, during the summer, to look at cam­ era poses of Gay and Todd Jane­ way with interest not too intolerably mixed with pain. There had been a great many of them. It would be an important wedding. Todd Jane­ way was connected with the pri­ vate bank in New York of which his father was president. The Janeway estate on the Hudson adjoined “Dunedin,” the. Graham estate. It was all eminently suitable, he Sup­ posed. He’d met young Janeway at Gay’s party and had been im­ pressed with his friendly manner and blond good looks. Oh yes, it was all eminently suitable, Gay’s desti­ ny, determined at her birth, an eventuality which no chance meet­ing could alter or efface. The cigarette he had lit and neg­ lected had burned his fingers. The smart of physical pain routed mem­ ories, brought him abruptly to his senses. What he’d been thinking was madness. Uncle John had not intended them to have a stolen week ;ogether, hidden away ini the woods. Lnd he’d been presumptuous in as- taming that Gay had any such 'iought or desire. Besides, there las Miss Oliver— >Io, not too presumptuous, revert- to Gay’s possible thought and lire. He’d seen the expression in es when she’d looked at him igh the lamplight. There was ie middle-course of friendship At a word, a gesture, the nism which was their safe- would melt and with mQre iching consequences, now, is, than in the past, since now \et as a man and a woman iuld never meet again, resolution wavered as he the door into the kitchen, ig that she was there seemed the door she had opened an significance. He felt her e in the atmosphere of the and more materially in the e that filled the air with a scent. A light burned in the oom. He would not go in He passed the door with his iverted. And then he heard calling his name. He turned, disconcerted, incensed at having his resolution so unexpected­ ly frustrated, immensely and joy­ fully relieved. “Hello,” he satd from the door­ way. “I thought you were asleep.” “I am—almost.” She sat curled against heaped cushions in a comer of the couch beside the hearth. She wore a soft white woolen robe fas­ tened close up around her throat with long sleeves and a cord knot­ ted about her waist. The light from the lamp fell upon her loosened mop of red-brown hair, lay warmly against the curve of her cheek. She smiled up at him drowsily, an over­ ture of friendliness in her long very deep blue eyes. “You should be in becl.” He walked to the fireplace in which a log she had evidently placed there burned above a bed of embers. “Are you warm enough? It’s cool here at night.” “It’s heavenly. New York has been a blazing furnace.” “The papers report a heat wave.” He bent over the log on the andiron, “You’re being pretty stuffy about this, aren’t you?” she asked. making a clattering noise with the tongs. “It’s been really dreadful.” “So I’ve understood.” She laughed suddenly, disarming- ly. “Must we talk about the weath­er?” she asked. He rose to a standing position, stood looking down at her, unable to resist the appeal of her smile. “You suggest a subject,” he said. “I’m afraid I lugged in the heat-wave.” The smile slowly vanished. “I’ve been thinking of Uncle John,” she said. “I was terribly sorry not to have come for his funeral.” “It was pretty ghastly. The col­ lege turned out. You were fortu­ nate to have escaped it.” “But I would have come. I was in Bermuda.” “Yes, I know.” He walked to the side of the hearth opposite to the couch, rested his elbow on the low stone shelf, stood looking down at her through the smoke of his ciga­ rette. “You wrote me.” “Dad cabled. I couldn’t have made it.” Her eyes moved slowly, a little sadly around the room. “It’s strange to be here without him.” “I’ve become accustomed to it. I’ve been here half a dozen times in the past three years." “Kate told me I shouldn’t have as­ sumed that he left me this.” Reviv­ ing humor glinted between her thick dark lashes. “She pointed out a few things I’d overlooked, that there would have been a deed, a transfer of property, tax bills.” “Uncle John’s estate pays the taxes. There has been a transfer of property. The estate—there’s very little—is held in trust for my mother during her life-time. At her death it reverts to my sisters and to me.” “Then I am—intruding?” she said uncertainly. “The cabin is—yours?” “Not entirely, apparently. Not for an uncertain number of years.” “I’ve been wondering. That’s why I waited up to talk to you. I’m afraid you’ve been bearing some ex­ pense which I should have shared. After all, my option—is that the word?-7should entail responsibility as well as create privilege. Do I owe you anything?”“Certainly not,” he said a trifle brusquely. “But the expense of taxes and up­keep must cut into your mother’s income,” she persisted. “There’s a special fund for the maintenance of the property.” ■ “But that’s hardly fair, is it?” she asked impulsively. “That fund might be added to your mother’s in­ come if some other arrangement was made. Why can’t I help? If Uncle John intended me to have the privilege of coming here whenever I like, certainly you shouldn’t ob­ ject to my sharing the expense.” “That’s quite unnecessary,” he said stiffly and saw her expression change. She had, he knew, inter­ preted the words, the tone of his voice, as a rebuff. And rightly, too, he thought in bitter self-reproach. Her offer had been fair and gen­ erous. Why couldn’t he have ac­ cepted it in the spirit in which it was made? Presently, with a gesture which expressed some thought completed, some coinrse of action determined, she dropped the fringed end of the cord. As he watched her, still brood- ingly silent, she rose from the couch, composed, lovely, remote.“Then I shall be obliged to stay as your guest,” she said and walked toward the closed door into the room she was to share with Kate.“You win again, Gay.” Strange that it was less difficult to renew his resolution now that he realized he’d been a presumptuous fool. Odd that now, when her manner expressed in­ difference, he was impatient to go. “I won’t be here. I’m leaving—” But flinging off at this hour was un­ necessarily dramatic and so he add­ ed, “—tomorrow.” “You’re being pretty—stuffy about this, aren’t you?” she asked. “Possibly.” The knowledge of what he had seen in her face was sustaining. He felt himself relaxing as though, by some agency, a strain had been relieved. ‘“Worse than that,” he continued responding to the humor and the friendliness in her smile. “I’m being, I’ve been, unpardonably rude.” “You have,” she agreed cheer­ fully. “I understand, though. The shock was, is, mutual. We’ve nei­ ther of us behaved very well. Let’s not make—decisions tonight.” “But my decision is made.” He knew that his voice lacked con­ viction. He saw her smile widen and deepen.i She appeared to be satisfied. “Shocks are wearing,” she said. “I’m going to get some sleep.” “You’d better. You look all in.” “Thank you. Aren’t you afraid you’ll turn my head?” She stood smiling back over her shoulder, her hand on the knob of the door. “Good­ night.”“Good-night. Pleasant dreams.” “I know I shall have them. Re member. No decisions. We’ll drair Kate’s straws—tomorrow.” Gay lay on the float in front of th* cabin, her face buried in the hollow between her crossed arms. The sun shone warmly on her back and legs and the wind, ruffling her hair, was refreshingly cool. The float moved gently, rocked by waves which scur­ ried before the wind across the sur­face of the lake. The warmth, the gentle motion, the whispering sound of the water, induced a state of drowsy contentment. She found it increasingly difficult to concentrate upon problems and eventualities though that was what she had goSe there to do.(TO BE CONTINUED) Robot Voice Machine Seen as Speech Aid Sir Richard Paget, inventor of a machine that talks, seems to have confused for a time his inventive genius and his ultimate goal; but out of his works may come in Uie end an improvement in methods of human speech. His machine feefls air through a tube to various moulh- pieces, and by pressing the bellows with his foot and placing a thumb before the orifices he makes the ap­ paratus utter a few simple words. All right so far; but it is the hard­ est way to talk ever demonstrated with success.On the other hand, Sir Richafd philosophizes that, culturally, hu­ man speech is thousands of years behind the times. He notes that speech is the natural result of ges­ tures of the mouth and jaws, capa­ble of 144 variations; but that tfie upper arm, forearm, wrists and fin­ gers together can make 700,000 ges­ tures. To complicate speech by sign language would generally annoy all except tourists in a strange land, but the talkirg machine has a mis­ sion if finally perfected.Radio, for example, would be­ come more popular if all announce­ ments were broadcast by a robot voice. AU would sound alike; no peculiar hates would be attached to voices under general classifications of silly, raucous, nasal, flippant, guttural or stomachic.

During those years Mrs. Johnson had grown from an infant to a wife and mother. Sbe is the wife of Troy Johnson and has two children and two grandchildren. The long lost father whom Mrs, Johnson thought to be dead, and the daughter Mr. Reece had not seen since she was a month old, have been living in North Carolina all these years. Learning by chance of the exist­ ence of her father, Mrs. Johnson invited him to visit her and he did so on March 31. Now they plan another meeting, when Mr. Reece and two of his children will pay Mrs. Johnson a a long visit. His first wife died 20 years ago and bis last wife died nine years ago. The stoty of the long separation of father and daughter is told by a Lumberton pap;r and follows: Almost 55 years ago Mr. Reece left his wife and month old baby, now Mrs. Iohnson, and went on a planned three weeks visit to his old home in Yadkinville and never returned. At that time Mr. Reece and his family were living near Or- rum, but after he had been gone for some time, the mother and only daughter moved to Route 5. - While in Yadkinville Mr. Reece got a good job and did not return home. The two parties lost trace of each other and each thought the other to be dead. Thus Novella grew up thinking that she would never see her father. But a few months ago Mrs. John­ son met a preacher, Kirt, at tlie Orrum church, and he told her that he knew a Reece boy from Yadkinville and when be was in college and that he might possibly be some kin to the long-lost father, if he was by any chance still alive. Preacher Ktrt suggested that Mrs. Johnson write the clerk of the superior couit in Yadkinville and ask if that office knew the where­ abouts of Emory Sidney Reece. Mrs..Johnson followed the sug gestion and after some correspond­ ence back and forth she found out that there was an “Emory Sidney Reece” in Boonville and that he might be the person she was seek­ ing. After some more correspondence and tracking records, Mrs. John son wrote to this “Mr. Reece” who might be her father. And “sure enough” he was. Mrs. Johnson invited him down for a visit and he accepted the in. vitutiou. And on Sunday, March 31, the happy meeting took place, Mr. Reece, who will be 77 on May 30, thought his first wife was dead and married again and has 12 children, seven girls and five boys by his second wife.

(Baltimore News Post) Everything seems to be going topsy-turvy in the world at present —even the weather. Perhaps the elements have be­ come demoralized by observing the bad behavior of the inhabitants of this planet.

The fact that the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and the schools of the Btate have joired forces in a campaign to increase the consumption of milk and other dairy products, should be the cue for the general public to back up the move­ ment. Cooperation of the schools has al­ ready brought very definite and gra­ tifying results, according to Miss Isabelle Moseley, dairy marketing specialist for the department, who has been assigned to work with teacher groups and Parent-Teaeber associations by-Comraissioner of A griculture Scott. Dairy councils are also being organized. As an example of what may be accomplished, in less than five months the intensified health pro­ gram conducted in the New Hope school resulted in an increase in the number of family cows from two to sixteen in one class of thirty-eight children.

The horse and buggy, symbol of a bygone day, should not be look­ ed down upon in this modern world of machinery and high speed living, a Kentucky citizen pointed out re­ cently. The day when the horse and bugRy was the height of luxury —-.when the ambition of every young man was to own his own horse and gig—was the freest time in the his­ tory of this country. In those days a young man work­ ed hard to save enough for his first driving outfit, and bis proudest moment came when he drove down the road behind a good horse, his best girl seated beside him. He did not need gasoline and there were not any roadhouses, and tbe speed he traveled was less danger­ ous for both the physical and moral well-being of himself and bis girl. If he marries, a stout heart, strong arm aud long hours of hard work yielded a comfortably home, plenty of good food,, firewood for warmth, and all-the other things necessary for a rich, sane life. Friends were closer and more de­ pendable in times of sickness or other emergencies. There were not so many things to buy or to do, so pleasures were simple and home­ made. Feopledepended upon them, selves and their friends for enter tainment, not upon movies and nightclubs. -Relief had not been invented,” and the Government never meddled in private affairs.

A. I. Ferree, of Asbeboro, the Republican candidate for secretary of state, in an interview a few days ago-declared: “ The traditional A- merican policy of two terms for President was decided for Nottb Carolina by governor Hoey and the ‘House of Folgers’.” Kerree said in bis statement that North Carolina Democratic politi­ cians bad become mechanized cen tralized, but predicted that the people would not depart from and give up our two-term policy “ be. cause a half dozen politicians gave out an interview to the papers say­ ing tbat North Carolina would be for a third term for Roosevelt.” Governor Hoey first gave out statement declaring himself fo r President, and a week later permit­ ted statements to appear in the paper to the effect tbat he had de­ cided to go along with the th’rd termers; all of which conclusively shows tbat he has abandoned bis personal convictions, if he had any, to follow the politicians Mr. Ferree stated that a third term for a President at this time, when dictators are apparently try iug to take the wo-ld, would be a dangerous thing for our republic; that the Democratic form of govern­ ment we have boasted of for years is swiftly passing from the bauds of the people to tbe government at Washington, and that we should guard our liberties closelv and open Iy declare against a dic’ator before it’isFfo'6'la ‘e ; The War News. Events are happening so fast end furiously in Europe that it is dif­ ficult to keep up with the progress of the war, now entering its first phase of desperate hosperaties. By now the world knows that Adolph Hitler’s word is positively no good; that he is dtsperute raler and will stop at nothing to gain his ends; that it does not matter to him bow many innocent perish because he has started something he can­ not stop. His excuse for invading Norway was because the British were going to do the same thing and he beat them to it by 24 honrs. The world knew'that the British could not pos­ sibly have done such an army on tbe way or in readiness to go at the time. Tbe same excuse was given for the horrible invasion during tbe past few days of Holland and Bel gium, two little natious which were neutral in the war and had even gone out of their way to try to placate Hitler. But Hitler made a desperate move to try to’ gain a big advantage in the war and even now the big battle is on. The war is of course tbe most terrible conflict which has visited civilization and to preserve civili­ zation America must stay out. But in the meantime we must remem­ ber that our own civilization may be threatened and tbat we must be prepared for any eventualities.— Ex. ______^_______ Colonel F: C.

It is asserted tbat Russell conducted a- nudist colony in England, that his children par­ ade nude, that he and his wife par­ aded nude in public. So this is a Dirt of the “ New E ra?” If the country is a prosperous as the New Deal politicians and news­ papers declare, then it is certain that these huge appropriations Con­ gress is making for relief are not needed.

N. C. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON(Consolidated f eatures—WN1J Service.) ■NJEW YORK.—There is a bitter ' outcry in the press coop as Air Marshal Arthur S. Barratt tells'the correspondents in France that here- News Hounds in ^ust feed on France Yelp at handouts—no Ban on lDtggingr m°rf, digging out their own stories. British newspaper owners retaliate by calling home the news­ men. It is one of several unfor­tunate instances of ineffective co­ operation between British high com­ mand and the newspapers. Foreign correspondents I have talked to have told me that the British air service, staffed by younger men than is the army, has been far less encumbered with brass hats and bureauc­ racy, and that its higher rank­ ing officers understood and co­ operated with newspaper men. Hence the handout order, a sweeping decree in barring jour­ nalists from all news sources, comes from an unsuspected ’ quarter. Marshal Barratt was appointed to the command of the newly created unified French-British air force by Neville Chamberlain January 10 of this year. He is 49 years old, a lav­ ishly decorated flier and air officer of the World war, in India at inter­ vals since 1931, senior air officer for India during part of that period. He joined the Royal Flying corps in 1914 and fought through the war. He has been commandant of the R. A. F. staff college at Andover. Many of the most effective leaders of the British air force have come from the Colonies. Marshal Barratt was born at Clifton, England, and was educated at Clifton college and Woolwich. TN THESE days, someone is always * asking, “Watchman, what of the night?” “Not so good,” says Dr. Alfred V. . n „ . Kidder, theDelver-Into-Past distinguished Is Pessimistic of archeologist/ OurSocialOrder ad d ressin g the American Philosophical society. He thiriks the present social order is on the skids. As he sees it, “the underlying cause” of our present afflictions is the fact that man has made a “cul­ tural machine,” that is a new complex of living technics, which is out-of-hand, unmanageable and quite generally haywire. Henry Adams predicted that at the turn of the century, when he saw, for the first time, a flock of dynamos. He said, in effect, that there would be power like that. That’s the end of “The Education of Henry Adams.” Dr. Kidder, with a Harvard doctorate, 1914 model, delved as far into the past as any other living man before his current peek into the future In excava­ tions in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Egypt and Greece, he brooded, over many a “poor Yorick”' of forgotten ages. Aside from his gloomy preoccu­ pations with destiny, or lack of it, he’s a happy man, with five children and apparently a firm belief that the coming smash won’t be the final write-off. He is- highly renowned in his pro­ fession and was president of the Society for American Archeolo­ gy in 1937. Unhappily Charles F. Schwab is no longer here to assure us that ev­ erything is all right.

P ARAMOUNT is paying out quite a lot of m oney be­ cause it’s not safe to take a chance on an elephant — or rath er, on a herd of elephants. You see, though Hollywood has plenty of practically ev­ erything else, it’s short on e le p h a n ts; ro u n d in g up a thousand u n u s u a lly p re tty girls would be child’s play compared to putting your hand on a dozen of the animals just when you wanted them.That’s why O. C. Stratton, Para­ mount property department head, has arranged to feed 12 of them from now until next summer, when the filming of “Moon Over Burma” is scheduled to begin. The elephants belong to the de­ funct Hagenbeck and Wallace Cir­ cus, whose receivers agreed to keep the stock on the West coast , if the studio would foot their board bill. So the pachyderms are quartered at Camarillo, Calif., devouring dollars’ worth ,of hay daily—and it is hay— while preparations for “Moon Over Burma” goes on. The story opens in Mandalay and shifts to the teak plantations of Rangoon, where the elephants will be shown hauling the heavy wood, while Paramount for­ gets about buying hay and just pays rental fees. ^ When you see “Cornin’ Round the Mountain” you can close your eyes and pretend you’re at home listen­ ing to the radio—there are eight well-known radio names in the cast.

Bill Phillips, of the Warner Broth­ ers studio, reduced 27 young girls to tears the other day, and got paid for it. You’ve guessed why, of course—he’s the makeup man on “AU This and Heaven Too,” and they were shooting the scene in which Bette Davis tells her pupils the sad story of her life and makes them cry. So Phillips stood off at one side and blew menthol fumes at the girls, and they wept buekets-full of tears, right on schedule. — *— If you’re going to New York for the World’s fair this summer, re­ member Metro’s Information Cen­ tre, located in the city—on the little island at Forty-sixth street between Broadway and Seventh avenue.

M OCKSVILLE. N . C. “The Name Is Familiar— BY FELIX B. STBEYCKMANS and ELMO SCOTT WATSON James Watt Watt TAMES WATT, who devoted most — of his life to the invention and improvement of the modern steam engine, has his name commemorat­ ed in the field of electricity instead of steam. The unit of electrical measurement called the watt was named after him, and designates the amount of electricity used in doing work. He was a Scottish engineer who was born in 1736 and died at the age of S3. In his later years he ex­ perimented with an apparatus for copying sculpture. Not many months before his death he presented cop­ies of busts to his friends as the Work “of a young artist just enter­ ing his eighty- third year.”The first use of Watt’s steam en­ gine was in pumping water from mines. Later, when others suggest­ ed making a wheeled cart of it and using it on rails to pull carriages, Watt would not listen to the plans. And so it is that the man who made the steam engine practical died believing that the steam rail­ road was impracticable. Maybe, after all, it’s just as well that a word in the electrical field instead of steam has been coined to commemorate him.* • • Galvanism ONE day in the latter part of the Eighteenth century, while Luigi Galvani1 eminent professor of anato­ my at Bologna, Italy, was at work in his laboratory, an accident oc­ curred that startled the entire sci­ entific world. Galvani had placed a dissected frog on a table near an electrical machine. His assistant accidentally touched a nerve of the dead frog while the ma­ chine was turning and sending out sparks. Immedi­ ately the dead frog jumped' into ac­ tion and went through all sorts of physical con­ tortions. Galvani was a great professor, an authority on anatomy — he LuigiGalvani must explain this phenomenon! If electricity could make a dead frog’s muscles move, then it must be elec­ tricity that made its muscles move when it was alive, he reasoned. Was there such a force as animal elec­ tricity? Was electricity the force that made all animals—and men— move? Wasn’t electricity life itself? Galvani thought sc—and he told the world what he thought. The world believed him—even the medi­ cal world—and a new word, galvan­ ism, was added to every European language. It meant the force in a living body that gives it the ability to move and remain alive. And today we still say persons are “galvanized into action” when we mean they have had life put into them suddenly like Galvani’s dead frog.• • • Boycott THE word “boycott” is a com­ mon one and is known to almost every modern language. Original­ly it was the name of a man and that was only 60 years ago.In 1880 Capt. Charles Cunningham Boycott, who lived at Lough Mask in County Mayo, Ireland, and who was land agent for a British lord, was so severe and unreasonable with his tenants that they banded together and re­ fused to buy any­thing from him or work for him. Their economic strike reached a climax at harvest time when no one would help him with his crops. A gang of Orange­men were sent down from Ulster to aid in the har­vest but they went under the protec­ tion of a military force from Cavan and elsewhere.Captain Boycott’s troubles attract­ ed wide attention and the Irish Land league successfully used the same tactics to force their demands in other localities, repeating the “Boy­ cott incident.” By the time of his death in 1897 a boycott had come to mean the same thing throughout the world. The French word is “boy- cotter"; the Dutch, "Boycotten” ; the German, “boycottiren,” and the Rus­ sian, “boikottirovat.”(Released by Western Newspaper Union) ‘A Dog’s Tale’ Mark Twain’s “A Dog’s Tale” was first published in Harper’s maga­ zine in December, 1903. Subsequent­ ly it was privately printed by the National Anti-Vivisection society. In .1904 Harper’s brought out the story in book form. Capt.

They needn’t be a bur­ den on the chief cook, either, if she masters a few short cuts in pre- _ paring them. Sandwiches, salted nuts, olivels and radishes, little cakes and coffee make a spread that appeals to any age, and that is sure to be acclaimed by enthusiastic youngsters. Serve decaffeinated coffee, so that youth­ ful enthusiasm needn’t be checked in a demand for second cups; and pass lengths of stick cinnamon in­ stead of spoons to stir this tempting brew. By all means flatter the so­ phisticated teensters by using your best demi-tasse cups. An assortment of sandwiches can be made in short order if you cut the bread lengthwise, after remov­ ing the crusts, and buttering.

NEWHOUSE looked out over their back­ yard and were in no mood to plant an acorn and wait for it to grow up to give them summer shade. Mr. Newhouse bought some sec- ond-hand pipe for a song and made a sketch for the frame of a shelter like the one I have shown at the upper right. He had a plumber cut and thread the pipe so it could be put together easily. The pipe frame was painted bright blue. Then Mrs. Newhouse selected green and white striped awning material for the top. This material was 30 inches wide and 12 yards were needed. About 15 yards of bright blue bias binding were used for the scalloped edge. The method of fastening the awn­ ing to the frame is illustrated. The fabric loops were made of the awning material stitched in place through heavy woven taue.

IN ADVANCE - $ I 00 SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE - J 50 The Hatch bill on primaiy day. wasn’t in force The Record doesn’t wish Prank Hn any bad luck, but here's hoping that the Democrats will nominate him for president. There are a few business houses in this section who won’t advertise In Republican newspapers. Such merchants are more to be pitied than censured. A house divided against itself cinnot stand. Neither can a poli­ tical party hope to win that isdivid ed. It takes a lot of work and lots of barmonv to win any hattle. One paragrapher curtley says, “ It doesn’t make a particle of dif­ ference what the President may say now, we have had plenty of time to figure out how meaningless his promises are.” Bditing a weekly newspaper is not the cinch that some folks seem to think. The editors have many things to contend with that the public knows nothing about. If running a newspaper was a picnic there would be more papers in the country than there would be read ers. . The chairman of the Davie coun­ ty board of elections says there are six mqre Republicans registered in Davle county than there are Demo, crats registered. What we want to know is where were these Re­ publicans two years ago when < needed them so badly. The primary is now over, and it is np to all good Republicans to get behind the Republican nominees and help elect them in November. Perhaps you didn’t get all the men you wanted, neither did the other fellow. Let's get behind the ticket, from President to Surveyor, and swat the enemy with a mighty swat. The season of the year has come when all gcod citizens will put up their chicbens. Your neighbors has a garden and he does not want your chickens to scratch up his vege­ tables. Under the Davie county chicken law he could indict and prosecute you but he doesn’t wantf to do that. Let all good citizens tarry not but get busy and pen up the fowls. DULL PRIMARY. Foster, Eatooy SheItooy Totterow Wio. Neither Demosrats nor RnpubIicans seemed to take much interest in the primary Saturday. Out of a regis­ tration of more than 6.400, less than 2.000 votes were cast. There were six candidates for county commis aioner, and two candidates for Reg ister of Deeds ,on the Republican ticket.

The three high men, Eaton, Shelton and Tutterow, are the nominees for com misBioners, and Robert L. Foster is the nominee for Register. In the Democratic primary G. H. C. Shutt defeated bis opponent Bill Etchison by a vote of 1014 to 290, in the race for Register of Deeds. McCoy, for Slate Senate, ran far ahead of Forrester, carrying Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes.

Lesson for June 2 w o K e v s t o a c a p i n 3 B Y LIDA LARRI MORE cO MACRAB SMITH CO. WKU SERVICE S Y N O P S I S Charming, wealthy GabrieHa (Gay for ifiort) Graham, engaged to Todd Jaaewayt returns to a cabin In the Maine woods ac­companied by a friend, Kate Oliver. The idea of a stay at the cabin occurred to her when she received a key to it following the death of her godfather. Uncle John Law* rence. The two girls notice that someone Is living In the cabin. Kate suspects that Gay knows the identity of the mysterious occupant. The mystery man returns. He is John Houghton, a young doctor whom Gay had known in previous 3-ears. Immediately aggressive. Gay asks him by what right he is in the cabin. His right, she Ends, is greater than her own. He, too, possesses a key, but more thgn that, is heir to it from his Uncle John, Gay's godfather. Gay is high handed with him. and he states courtesously that he will leave. Looking at him in the doorway, her old feelings return. She knows that he is more necessary to her than is Todd Janeway, the man she is to marry. Gay asks John to reconsider his decision to leave. C H A P T E R III— Continued Not that problems were pressing, they seemed to retreat farther into the hazy distance with each day that G a y spent at the lake. She was active from the hour of their early breakfast until the inevitable m o m e n t when her eyes dropped over a magazine, the parchesi board or the word games which Kate insti­ gated to while away the after-supper interval when darkness fell over the woods and the lake. She slept soundly, without dreaming. It was the air of Maine, she sup­ posed, and the simple life she'd been living for— H o w long? Five days, she calculated, surprised that it had been that long, equally surprised that time had passed so swiftly. She hadn’t realized h o w tired she’d been until she began to rest. It was for this she had come to the cabin, she thought, the contentment she felt, her pleasure in the sun and wind, the daylight hours of activity, the long nights of restful sleep. But would she have stayed if John had gone? Would she be so contented now, lying w a r m and drowsy in the sun on the rocking float, if he were not there in the cabin potter­ ing with his test-tubes and micro­ scope in the room that had been Mrs. Dill’s? But he wasn’t there. At a cheer­ ful hail from the shore G a y rolled over and then sat up. H e stood on the boat-landing in swimming trunks and jersey, an a r m raised in salute. “Is the water cold?” he called. “Frigid. I have icicles in m y ears.” “Think I’ll paddle over.” “SissyI” she taunted. “I swam.” “Yo u were showing off.” H e dipped his toes into the water and withdrew them with a grimace. “Pure exhibitionism.” “Superior stamina.” “Oh, yes?” Thank heavens they’d gotten over being so terribly polite, she thought, watching him take a shallow dive from the end of the landing. The first day after she and Kate had arrived it had been pretty dreadful. . They’d watched each other warily, suspicious of the meaning behind every gesture, all defenses stoutly guarded. . It was different now. Each day that passed brought them closer together in an impersonal compan­ ionship, based -on experiences shared, household chores squabbled over and gaily performed, a great deal of laughter. Kate’s presence was a safeguard. Her wry humor, her resourcefulness, her energy and enthusiasm kept them occupied and amused. Gay, sitting o n . the float, her arms hugging her knees, won­ dered what would have happened if Kate hadn’t been there. She was glad, really glad, that Kate was. “Perishing?” she asked as John’s head bobbed along the side of the float. “Practically.” H e pulled his long body up on the planking, shook him­ self, scattering a shower of drops. “Hey!” Ga y said, ducking. “Sorry.” H e sat beside her, opened the pocket on the belt of his trunks, produced matches and ciga­ rettes. “Will you light one for m e ? ” he asked. “M y hands are wet." She lit a cigarette, placed it be­ tween his lips. The brief contact was closer to intimacy than they had been during the past five days. For an instant their eyes met and held, then Ga y glanced away. “Are your germs behaving well?” she asked, when the light quick beat­ ing of her heart had subsided. “Abominably.” H e stretched out on the float beside her, his hand sup­ porting his head. “I’ve just buried the whole lot under a pine tree. The odor of the cabin is. vastly im­ proved.” “Oh, what a shame!” she said in sympathy, surprised that he seemed so cheerful. “That's the w a y it goes,” he said. “Y o u ’ve got to have Uie patience of Job.” “Aren’t you— ?” A n altered tone in his voice caught her straying at­ tention. “M m m ? ” she h u m m e d on a ris­ ing inflection. “I asked you if you were bored.” “Certainly not." “Y o u weren’t listening.” “I was.” “D o n ’t be polite.” H e sat up to light a cigarette. “There’s no rea­ son w h y you should be interested. It must seem very dull and, as you said, unrewarding.” . "I can think of gayer subjects,” she said, wanting to hurt him be­ cause he had hurt her. “Such as— ?” “Well, aquaplaning, for instance.’” “A U right. Talk away. I’U listen.” “As a penance?” “I shan’t be able to add anything to the conversation. I’ve had nei­ ther the time nor the opportunity for luxury sports.” “Skiing, then.” "You’re good at that, aren’t you?” “Fairly. It was included in the curriculum of the school at Gene­ va.” “I can’t add m u c h to that sub­ ject,” he said. “I’ve done a Uttle skiing on the hiUs at home. Nothing sensational. Yo u ’d consider m y ex­ ploits amateurish, I’m afraid.” There was no humility in his voice. His obvious intention was to imply that an interest in sports was trivial in comparison with his more serious aspirations. G a y turned her jiead and looked out across the w a ­ ter toward the shore. If it was a de­ fense, she could break through it, she bought. But was it a defense? Didn’t he, hadn’t he always, con­ sidered her interests trivial? Heav­ en knew, she thought they were. If, in justification, she could talk to him, teU him w h y she’d returned to the cabin— 1T can’t talk about polo, either,’ he said, breaking a lengthening pause, “O r horse shows or yacht races or the Costume Ball at South­ hampton.” “Well,” she said, presenUy, “I i suppose w e can talk about the weather.”' "Always.” She turned her head to find him smiling at her, not Uie iron­ ical smile which fostered hostiUties, but a smile which widened into his engaging grin. “I understand there’s been a heat-wave in N e w York.” “Idiot!” G a y laughed. They laughed together, amused friendly laughter .which narrowed the dis­ tance between them, laughter which held a trembling vibration more con­ ciliating than words. ‘That’s better.” H e offered her a cigarette. “I suspect your motives when you’re polite.” ‘W h e n you’re polite, I know very well what your motives are.” "What?” His eyes m et hers above the match that he held to her ciga­ rette. “You’re filled with disapproval.” “I’m not.” His smile softened the contradiction. “I’m filled with sup­ pressed curiosity." ‘Scientific curiosity?” She sat back on the float, her arms around her'knees. “No, purely, human.” H e hesitat­ ed, then asked, "Your experiment? Is it working out? O r have you bur­ ied it under a pine tree?” His question caught her off-guard. Her eyes turned, again, to the canoe tied to the landing. “It isn’t so easily disposed of,” she said. 'Are you— working at it?” His voice was very persuasive. “Not seriously. I never seem to find time. I’m always sleepy or hungry or interested or— contented.” A shout hailed them from the shore. G a y turned to see Kate ges­ turing from the landing. ‘Hello!” she called in reply to the hail. Kate eased herself down into the canoe, unfastened the tie-rope and picked up a paddle. “The marines are coming.” Ga y looked at John, not knowing whether she felt more relieved or annoyed by the interruption. W hat he felt was obvious. Tell them to go shoot an Indian,” he said. C H A P T E R IV John caught the side of the canoe. It wabbled, then steadied against the float. Kate dropped the paddle. “Are you landing?” he asked. “No, thank you.” Something had disturbed her, he thought. Her plain clever face, usually serene, looked both irritated and concerned. She glanced up at him as though he was the cause of her concern and irrita­ tion. “I’m going back in a min­ ute,” she said. \ Then, w h y had she come? H e thought, he was sure, that G a y would have answered his question U they had remained undisturbed. H e liked Kate. H e ’d been glad, at first, that she was here. Lately, though— this morning— “Have you robbed the mail-man again?” he asked. “You’U land in jail. A U those pa- “N e w York papers?” G a y scram­ bled to the edge of the float. “Where did you get them?” “I sent for them,” Kate-said. “Is there— ?” G a y asked quickly. Then, more deliberately, “What’s the news?” “Your father sailed three days ago,” Kate said in reply to G a y ’s question. “But he wasn’t to have returned until— ” “Exactly.” His eyes turned to Kate. She sat with compressed lips looking up at G a y through slightly narrowed eyes. “H e missed the auc­ tion in London,” she said. “That’s bad. That’s really very bad.” Gay. gave an exclamation, half dismay, half exasperated rage. “Aunt Flora probably cabled him/' she said. “Your mother has not been idle,’ Kate reminded her grimly, “not to mention a varied assortment of rel­ atives.” “They’re such an articulate fam­ ily.” “Yes,” Kate said dryly, “and, un­ fortunately, cable rates are no de­ terment.” “But w h y couldn’t they have wait­ ed?” The humor that had bright­ ened her voice was gone. Though he saw her only in profile, John k new that her eyes were dark and mutinous. “W h y must they jump to conclusions? Aunt Flora would, of "You needn’t, you know,” John said presently. course. But I thought Mother had more sense!” “It’s been five days,” Kate point­ ed out. “They probably think you’ve been kidnaped. Y o u can’t wonder that they’re anxious,” she added in a tone of increasing exasperation. “I’ve been away longer than that.” “But not at a time like this when something has been arranged for you practically every hour. Think of the excuses, the questions, the eva­ sions.” “Yo u think of them. I haven’t the strength.” - “You haven’t communicated with — anyone?” “No. W h y should I? Todd— un­ derstood. I told both Mother and Atmt Flora in the notes I wrote them that I would return at the end of the week.” “A n d will you?” She remembered him, then. John’s heart leapt as his eyes, for a m o ­ ment, met her shadowed glance. It sank again as she replied with un­ conscious arrogance1: “ I usually keep m y promises, don’t I?” “In that case,” Kate said, and he thought she sounded considerably relieved, “w e ’ll be obliged to start in the morning. An d I think- w e should both apologize to John. H e can’t have enjoyed having this dis­ cussed in his presence. An d he couldn't escape,” she added, humor, fostered by relief, breaking through concern and irritation. “H e ’s hold­ ing m e steady. Very generous of him not to have set m e adrift” “Think of m e as a landing-post,” John said, “if that will m a k e you feel better.” Kate drew the rope into the canoe. “It would— if I could,” she said. Her smile w as faintly derisive but the expression in her keen light eyes was not unsympathetic. She took up the paddle. ‘T m going to get lunch,” she said, speaking past John to G a y wh o sat still and aloof at the edge of the float looking down into the water. “I’ll call when it’s ready.” The canoe m oved off from the float. The dip and swish of the pid­ dle grew fainter as Kate approached ' the landing. G a y remained silent, her eyes fixed upon the tiny waves disappearing in bright succession beneath the float. John’s eyes rest­ ed upon her profile. Moments passed in an estranging silence. “Yo u needn’t, you know," John said presently. She glanced at him questioningly. “Apologize,” he said. “Yo u can think of m e as a landing-post, too. “I am, I suppose,” she said, after a moment. His glance, in turn, questioned. “All the things you’re thinking.” She laughed, a clear brittle laugh, quickly stilled. “Spoiled, selfish, in­ considerate.” There -was no humility in her voice. She was neither apologizing nor admitting. She seemed, John thought, to be taking some sort of perverse pride in the unadmirable qualities she listed. The sincere protest which sprang to his lips re­ mained unspoken. Tenderness crys­ tallized into antagonism. “If you are referring to the anx­ iety you are probably causing at home,” he said coolly, “I think I agree with you.” “Of course,” she said brightly. “What else could you think? I have everything, haven’t I?” “Certainly, by any standards, you have a great deal.” “There’s no sensible reason w h y I should run away less than a month before m y wedding?” She did not look at him. H e r eyes were again fixed upon the waves disappearing under the float. Color had flushed into the cheek that he saw In profile. Her hands were clasped so tightly about her knees that the knuckles showed white. “I can’t answer that,” John said. “I know nothing of the circum­ stances.” “Well, there isn’t,” she said. " N o sensible reason. Todd is— splendid. I suppose w e ’ve been half in love with each other since I wa s six and he was nine.” Only half in love? he wanted to ask. Instead, thoughtfully silent, in­ creasingly astonished, he lit a cig- 8I6tte» “W e ’re to be married at South­ ampton in the Little Re d Church on the Dunes.” She spoke lightly, quickly, adding word to word as though she were building a house with cards which a breath, a too impetuous ' touch would destroy. “It’s Mother’s show. Y o u see D a d gave m e m y debutante party. N o w she has her inning. It’s a little complicated.” She laughed again, that clear brittle laugh,. quickly stilled. “Aunt Flora insists that she w o n ’t attend the reception in m y step-father’s home. She will, though, if only to point a reproving moral.” “Todd’s father is giving us a boat for a wedding present,” she went on as though there had been no break in the clear rippling stream of words. “W e ’re sailing south. W e ’ll leave the boat in Florida for the winter and bring her north next summer. The Janeways have a place at P a l m Beach.” “Will you actually sail?” John asked, his interest for the m o m e n t quite detached from Gay.

Meat Curing Simplified By Using New Process Certain difficulties in curing meats at h o m e have been eliminated with the use of smoke salt and special meat cures no w available at low cost. With the use of these prepara­ tions nothing needs -to be added at h o m e except water in the case of pickling meat. Special meat cures, already mixed except for the water, are pumped to the area around the bones in h a m and shoulders, as well as around joints in other cuts of meat, so that, after the outer part has been cured with smoke salt, it can truly be said that the cuts have been cured from the inside out as well as from the outside in. At small cost, a specially con­ structed p u m p is no w available, Writes John E. Hubel in the Pennsyl­ vania Farmer. This p u m p has S needle with several small holes at the bottom, so that the pickling solu­ tion is spread to the areas around the bones, which are so hard to get at with curing salt when ordinary salt is used for curing h a m s and other cuts. The pumping process is so simple that any one can do a good job. Each stroke of the p u m p brings enough of the pickling solution to ffie area around the bone in ham s and shoulders to cure this part of the meat as thoroughly as that on the outside. For h a m s and shoul­ ders weighing 10 to 15 pounds about three pumpfuls of pickle, or about 12 ounces, are sufficient, while for larger hams and shoulders, weigh­ ing from 12 to 25 pounds, five pump- fuls or 20 ounces of the solution WUl be enough for a good cure. TESTING CONDUCT BY ITS USEFULNESS (A Priciple of Temperate Living) LESSON TEXT—Ezekiel 15:1-6: Matthew 5:13-16: 1:16-20; I Corinttiians 10:6. 7.GOLDEN TEXT—Ye Shau know them by their fruits.—Matthew 7:16. Sound principles are foundational to right living. Right living is tem­ perate living. The first temperance lesson for the year emphasized the sacredness of life. This lesson, which is our second one on that subject, properly stresses the im­ portance of testing conduct by its true usefulness. The emphasis of modem thinking is upon learning, upon the brilliance of scientific achievement, with little or no concern about personal char­ acter. Christianity and the Bible go to the root of that matter, stressing the need of stalwart moral and spir­ itual character, without which other attainments are lacking in real value and meaning. Unless what a man accomplishes is the expression of the greatness of his character, it is transient and often detrimental in its effect on society. Tested by its results, the liquor traffic stands conclusively and com­ pletely condemned. Even its own frantic efforts to clean up and be more presentable indicates that fact. McAlpine made a rather acute comment when he said, “IF I WERE A LIAR . . . I’d advertise beer as a food, whisky as the promoter of the abundant life, and cocktails as the badge of social correctness. They say that if you repeat any thing times enough, people will believe it.” The Scripture portions before us present five inconsistencies, five in­ stances where fact denies a false profession. I. Wood Without Sirength. (Ezek. 15:1-6). The branch of a vine is at its best too crooked and pliable to be very useful, but here we have a piece of vine which has been charred in the fire until it is so useless that it can only be burned up. This is the picture of a life, possibly somewhat limited in its abilities and gifts, but nevertheless valuable, but made ut­ terly useless by careless or disso­ lute living. How tragic! II. Salt Without Savor (Matt. 5: 13). True salt is penetrating, antisep­ tic and purifying, but savorless salt is good for nothing but to make a road for the feet of men. “Ye are the salt of the earth.” Christians, if they have the true savor in their lives, will count, by their very spir­ itual pugnency, against sin and corruption in their communities. III. Light Without Ulumination (Matt. 5:14). A light is intended to give illumi­ nation to all around about it. It al­ways does that thing unless some­ one hides it under a cover, and then it becomes not only useless, but dangerous. A life lighted by faith in Christ will shine to the very ends of the earth and, as a missionary once said, “The light that shines farthest shines brightest at home." We are the light of the world, but if we cover our light we deny the very essence of our natures. Here is no thought of proud or selfish dis­ play. Light does not shout about itself, it just shines—but it really does shine. IV. Trees Without Fruit (Matt. 7; 16-20). Every plant brings forth fruit after its own nature. We do not expect figs from thistles, but we do expect figs on the fig tree. The countryside bears no more desolate figure than a blasted, fruitless fruit tree. Quickly the owner cuts it down and terminates its shame and uselessness by burning it. What about men and women? God has made them in His own image and likeness. He has given them intelli­gence and personal ability. He has a right to expect the fruit of a useful life from every one, and particu­ larly from the Christian, who is “a good tree.” V. Life Without a Purpose (I Cor. 10:6, 7). Light and salt are inanimate ob­ jects. Trees and vines with their wood and fruit are alive, but they are without intelligence and moral­ ity. Man, however, as we have already suggested, is the moral and intelligent crown of God’s creation, made in His own image and like­ ness. If they who know better, live lives of careless indifference, yea of outright wickedness, how shall they escape the judgment of God in the day when they shall stand be­ fore Him to give an account of the manner in which they have used this precious gift of life? The Beginning of Wisdom He sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant forever; holy and reverent is his name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his commandments; his praise en- dureth forever.—Psalm 111: 9, 10.
