Worth Recordiug The meeting of the State Board of Elections in Raleigh last week was a record-breaker in one particular at least—There was not a single formal charge of .election irregularities Ore member of the board declared that this was the first time in sixteen years that no such compliment had been received. Reports of alleged irregularities in a couple of Wilkes county precincts and one in Carteret county made to the bord and these will be investi gated. but' they were not formally presented and there was not a great deal involved.

(From The' Yellow Jacket? As the season’s show, “ Gone With' Ibe W ind,” fades, the poli ticians stage “On W ith the Wind..’’ It rains on tbe just and . the uu- just but you’ve got to be a party pet to get Relief from the New Deal. . The voters have found the New Deal out—and next election they propose to put the Nrw Dealers out. Oue reason the New Dealers Tom Dewey so bad is because they know Tom is a successful racket buster. Ben Johnson remarked that hell itself must yield to industry, but tbe New Deal stands pat on ha'- tling business. A man who has not succeeded with his own business is unfit to at tend to the business of other people. From the way Washington wast es the taxpayers’ billions the New Dealers must think ethics is just the name of a new car. FDR has . proposed that he be given $975,000,000 to be spent for. relief in eight months. . Is that des- gincd for a slush fnnd to bur votes or is the relief situation getting so bad as all that? Draw your own conclusions. Maybe American Iaxpayers de mand too much of the New Deal administration How can you ex pect loafers with unbalanced minds to balance the budget. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson hits the nail on the head when he says that Ibe U. S taking part iu Europe's war mess is “ taking partners iu the dance of death.” One of the crying needs of hour is for more Constitutional Congress men. We have had enough grub ber stamps” to last a thousand years. And we could use a Consti tutional President to good advant age. If you believe in buying and butyiug go d and burning wheat and boozing the people and boon doggling them you must be a gcod New Deal Democrat. Ou the other hand, if you .believe in the Constitution, and all it stands for you are eligiole for admisjinu into tbeG . 0 . P. It is astonishing wi'h what pati ence and tolerance the great. arm ; of taxpayers have stood for the ex- travagecce of New Deal legislation. It has no parallel in American his tory. An there is but one way for the taxpayer to obtain relief and that wav is at.the ballot box in the coming November election. Business Conditions. Buainesseonditiona in this couti try are nothing to write about. This year seems to be following the an cient precedent that a general elec tion year iB bad for industry. The business barometers have been slow ly sagging, and while there have been no sharp drops, there are no signs of any significant upturn in the near future. W ar orders from the Allies cor tinue to boom a limited number of industries, but their effect on indus trial conditions in general is not par ticularly noticeable, And the war has caused a .sharp curtailment of European purchasing of tobacco, cot ton. and other agriculture prbdiice. I The attitude of business leaders might be described as one of nerv ous watchful waiting—they are mak ing few forecasts and seem to have little idea of which^way the tide will turn.—Ex. . State and Local Econo my, Paul Leonard, secretary of tlie North Carolina Fair Tax Associa- ciatiou, thinks that “ in view of the inevitability’of increased spending for national defense and security, calling for more and higher Feder al taxes, it is absolutely essential to our economic stability that State and local governments cut expenses and reduce taxes so that the total load will not grow beyond the a- bility of our people to carry it.” There ought to be general agree ment with Leonard’s proposal but whether it will be accepted and ap plied by those who alone are in position to work these economics, is another matter. Governor Hoey has called on de partment heads in Raleigh, to prac tice rigid economy in order to safe guard our financial position and to protect our State reserves, and Fre- sident Roosevelt has called for the pruning of 10 per cent from all non- essential appropriations, and both are to he commended for this fore sight. This economies may be only a mite in themselves, bnt they will serve to lighten the burden that will become increasingly heavy as the days come and go. It is by no means certain that the federal government will forsake the idea of a national sales tax, which if ultimately imposed would add to the misery of North Caro linians and increase tae injustice that comes from an inequitable dis tribution of the tax load. But far the present it is certain that the federal government will broaden the income tix base by lowering exemptions, which will be follow ing the line of reasoning-- of the Fair Tax Association which has advocated this approach as a means of oasing taxes on ability to pay, and in lieu of the sales lax which is based ou the necessity for pur chasing human needs. In a recent statement Leonard puts it this way: “ An exemptionless iucome tax would be preferable to a general sales tax, because nnder the in come tax only tho'e persons who have fixed income, or who earn wages, would pay, whereas undei a sales.tax system all must pvy on purchases, regardless of income or earnings. In actual operation, the sales tax reverses the principle of the income tax—the fairest of all taxes.” Buc no matter what tbe tax source, tbe money accumulated should buy a dollar's worth of something for every hundred cents s tent, and the collection will come with a minimum of complaining and growling If there is evidence of tbe utmost economy by state and local governments. We think Paul Leonard's advice is timely and well-considered.— Statesville Daily. Bryan and Good Times The Brewer; Gulch ( Ariz ! Gazette. AU-this talk of a third term for F. D.

Why Not Proceed? Henry Ford has declared ibat the Ford pknts could produce one then .and pursuit plants a dav, stipulating, however, that “ produc tion must not be hampered by red tape.” Edsel Ford backs tip his lather with tbe assertion that the “ Uniteo States can be prepared Ior all wat emergencies before some people think it possible.” and without in terfering greatly with regular pro. duciiou, providing raw material- are not cm tailed, and be doesn’t see any umuedia.e ptospecls of that happening. It Fo d cm do that, than why not give him Ihe “ go” signal and pitch ” r-d !apt” in the trash bar re'? Why wait to ni cuss it when eve:Jr miunte is precious, and when a week's lull prndi'ction from a single -America!! plant might turn the tide in Europe? When Ford sets ten thousand planes a d* y as a standard of mass production'Gf a single tvpe of fight ing plane, the people are prepared to believe that he could deliver. And if Ford can build on this scale other plants less far-flung in scofe and ability to produce, could add another thousand a day when put to tbe test. And that would Le arming with a vim. It is inconceivable that there would be objection on the part of government or people to putting these planes into the hands of tbe Allies if they continue their resis tance to a foe who is our threat as well as theirs. Thepeopleof this nation, are not in any humor to quibble about Ihe consequences. If Ford and tbe others are not already about the business of get ting set for the mass production, is it because they have succumbed 10 the Goebbels preachment that the Allies are doomed and that any help from America would come “too late” to save them? If so, then the time gained, would serve our own preparedness program and all excuse for delay would be scut tled,—Statesville Daily* Where The Weakness Lies. Tbe following editorial appeared Iin tbe Greensboro Daily News: Judge Johnson J. IIaycs voiced j what must be the bope and tbe ideal of that part of the world which retains its rationalism when be declared in Federal court here recently that jury trial in a court of justice is the. best way to settle differences between nations no less than between individuals. As the jurist himself put.it: The greatest way in all the world to settle differences is in a court of ,nstice before impartial men like >ou I am hopeful that some day in the distant future, some way can be found to stttle differences between nations without conflict such as that now going on in Europe. That is a hope, a vision 10 which the world may look even in. its darkest day’s and amidst tbe play of violent forces which tend. 10 crush such thoughts and such idea lism. It is eutirely possible that out of the present maelstorm, out of the welter of blojd and death and destruction, will come such methods and such international ad judication. It is man’s depiavily, m in's inhumanity to man, that must he conquered; and sqch ac complishment, in its dra»t,c over- b Itilin g of human net ore, comes through travaii, tIirougli suffering, through a bluwl-lialh which testily to tbe Iiojielessucas ot force and of violence. O: e iannot help recall ng that it was not the league of nations, the idea and the ideal upon which it was founded, which callapsed. The machinery was there, Out league members themselves, niar.kiud, sa botaged it with iirernational poli cies, avarice, hijocrisy and greed. There wa< no « ill, a lack which may date to Aaiericun withdrawal from the agency which it bad fath ered, to enforce international jus tice. Cf-iiainlv when sny new ven ture of tins son is efsayed there will be 1 be con vie: ion, won of blood bought experience that an inter national police force, to make tflkc- tive league mandates and findings is necessa y and that the kumaa -■ienjent counts for far' more than tbe machinery itself. Agencies of mercy and decency and international justice can ad vance no faster than civilization and the mass humanity whi.h con stitutes that civilization advance in heart and in mind.

B \M»\u» Vv^ •• HUv*Ee v s THE STOBT THUS FAB o a c a b i n RIMOREe UACRAB SMITH C a WNU SERVXCB Charming, wealthy Gabrlella (Gay for short) Graham, engaged to Todd Jane- Way, 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 Mentity 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’sgodfather. Gay is high handed with him, and he states courteously that be 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. The next morning brings a different feeling, and John decides to remain for his vacation—one more week. The night before Gay and Kate are to return home to New York John gets an urgent request to call at a nearby farm. Gay accompanies him while he cares for the patient. Returning to the cabin at a late hour, John stops the car. He tells Gay that he loves her, and she admits that he is necessary to her happiness. Meanwhile, worried by their absence. Kate has called Todd Janeway In New York. She knows that Gay and John feel a strong attachment for each other, and wants Todd to come to Maine where becan talk to Gay. Todd arrives while Kate is alone. She breaks the news to him.Todd, warmhearted and generous, is heartsick but refuses to become melodramatic. Gay and John, who have been canoeing, return to the cabin, there to find Todd. John leaves temporarily and' Gay tells Todd that she has fallen In love with John. Todd, understanding that it is unavoidable, tells her he Is still her best friend, Christmas comes and Gay is home in New York, awaiting John’s arrival for the holidays. CHAPTER VII—Continued —10 — “Worm!” Gay exclaimed. “I hate you. Aren’t you up rather early yourself?” “I didn’t heed the ads,” he said mock-tragically. “I failed to do my Christmas shopping early.” “Poor Robert!” Gay smiled. Though to her father’s family it was a mystery, she understood very well why her mother had married Rob ert. He had, as her mother had, an ingenuous zest for living. He was no longer the handsome figure of a man-about-town he had been when he became her step-father. He was getting stout and somewhat florid and his blond hair was receding at the temples, but his spirit was buoy ant, his nature restfully uncompli cated and his enjoyment of good food, good sport and gay company remained undiminished. He was kind, and fond of her. His expres sion, now, as he looked at her across lace and silver and crystal flowers which splintered the light into glit tering sparkles, was admiring and interested. “Go to it, kid,” he said. “I’m all for romance myself. If you need moral support you can count on Un cle Robert.” He was a dear or maybe in her blissful state she felt tender to ward all the world. She blew him a kiss and went on along the hall. In the drawing-room Suki was hanging wreaths made of silvered leaves and bunches of blue glass berries. She knew it was Suki be cause Togo’s province was the kitch- . ern It occurred to her that it was a little incongruous that small heathen Suki with Ius flat lemon colored face and black bead eyes should be dec orating the apartment for a Chris tian festival. What would John make of it all, of Suki' and Togo who had been with ' Robert for years, of Mathilde whom her mother had brought back from France, of her mother, of Robert, of Christmas Eve at the apartment? What would he make of the Vic torian elegance of “Dunedin” when they went tomorrow? Coidd he, as she did, ignore Aunt Flora’s disap proval, the curious but premeditat ed coolness of the relatives who would be there? Panic seized her again. Her spirits sank with thie descent of the elevator. She regret ted, for an instant, that John was coming. Now, at this moment, while their meeting was still in die fu ture, the feeling they had for each other was secure. Now— But that was absurd. She shook off frightening fancies. Her spirits Rfted when the Negro doorman opened the door for her. “Merry Christmas, William.” “White Christmas, Miss Graham." “It’s nice, isn’t it?” “Luck fo’ certain.” The Negro’s face was slit by an ivory grin. “Good times cornin’ pretty soon.” The train from Boston, unless it was late, was already in. Gay made her way through the concourse of the station toward the gate where John would be waiting. Expectancy gave wings to her feet. She hur ried on, jostling and being jostled, heedless of admiring glances cast at her, impatient of any delay. Then through people passing, she saw him and reluctance checked her eager ness. Her flying pace slackened. She advanced slowly, caught in pan ic again, walking mechanically, all feeling suspended. He did not see her. He stood be side the gate, his eyes searching through the groups that eddied past him. But was that John? She hadn’t remembered—It was the overcoat he wore which made him look so tall. She’d never seen him in the winter before. The hew hat he wore was not becoming. She didn’t know him. It wasn’t that tall young man, obviously ill at ease, whom she had come to meet. She Couldn’t move or speak to him. She felt paralyzed, frozen inside. He saw her and smiled. Sie start ed toward him as he started to ward her. “Hello.” He removed his hat, smiling diffidently. “Hello.” Her voice sounded thin and unnatural. She felt her mouth stretch in a mechanical smile. He bent to kiss her. She lifted her face. A redcap, carrying luggage, bumped into them so that his lips, glancingly, touched her cheek. “We must find a taxi.” She did not look at him. "I didn’t bring a car.” His hand cupped her elbow but she led the way. A porter followed with his luggage. “Did you have a good trip?” she asked after ah interval of silence. “Not bad. We were on time.” “I’m sorry I was delayed. I left the apartment in time but traffic was heavy.” “That’s all right. I havenlt wait ed long.” They stood waiting for the porter to call a taxi. “How are you?” he asked. She glanced up at him, then quick ly away. “Splendid, thank you. Isn’t it nice to have snow?” “If it keeps on like this the trains won’t be coming in on time." “No, probably not. Have you had breakfast?” “No. It doesn’t matter, though. I’m not hungry." A taxi slid in beside them. The porter opened the door. John put her in, supervised the stowing of his luggage, sat beside her. The cab moved out into traffic. She glanced up at him. He was looking at her. The hurt bewilderment in his eyes, the difficult smile that moved across his lips, restored warmth and a feeling of tenderness. “Hello!” she said softly. “Hello!” His arms went around her. Their lips met and held. Pres ently she drew away. “Is this scandalous behavior for New York?” His voice sounded hap py, relieved. “Who cares?” She winked to dear her vision. “Oh why are we always such idiots?” “I didn’t know you. You looked— I was terrified.” “So was I. Darling, that hat—” “Don’t you like it either?” He turned to open the window. “We’ll throw it out.” “Idiot!” She pressed dose to him, her face against the rough doth of his coat. “It’s all right, isn’t it?” “The hat? You change your mind “Us, I mean—Your, being here— We’re going to have fun.” "Of course we are. Breakfast first, though. I wasn’t hungry when you asked me, but I’m starving now.” “Are you?” She laughed. “So am I. Let’s send your luggage out to Mother’s apartment and stay down town all day. We’ll have breakfast at Child’s and walk in the snow and drop quarters in all the Santa Claus kettles and sing carols on street cor ners and—” “You darling! I’m so happy, so glad to be here.” “Are you? Darling! John!” John got up as Gay’s mother rose from ,the love-seat on which they sat. . “So I suppose I’ll have to forgive you,” she said, smiling up- at him with Gay’s smile and Gay’s trick of crinkling her eyes. “I was pre pared to dislike you intensely’." “Now, Kitty,” her husband said with indulgent fondness, "you’ve never disliked anybody. It’s your all-inclusive love for'your feUow- men which keeps getting you into trouble.” “That’s unkind of you, Robert.” She linked her arm through her hus band’s. “What will John think of me?” “I think you are very kind,” he said, realizing that the reply was inadequate, seeing and resenting the amusement in her deep blue eyes, so like Gay’s. “Kindness is an endearing trait in a mother-in-law,” Robert Cameron said cheerfully. He consulted his watch. “My dear, we must be on our way.” “We’re going to the theater with the Davenports,” she said in the way she had of seeming to share an intimate confidence. “They’ve just become grandparents and need cheering.” The Japanese house-boy came into the room. She spoke to him about calling for the car. John watched her pleasant manner with the serv ant. She was prettier than Gay, he thought, but less beautiful, small er, softer, more rounded. Her hair which had been dark was, prema turely, turning white. Cut short and curled, it looked like a wig for fancy dress rather than a symbol of age. Her skin, in the diffused light which filled the long high-ceilinged room, had a honey-colored tint and her small pretty mouth was painted the exact shade of the coral azalea against her shoulder. She didn’t look like anybody’s mother. It was difficult to realize, in spite of cer tain points of resemblance, that she bore so close a relationship to Gay. She turned to him as the house- boy slid noiselessly out of the room. She felt paralyzed, frozen inside. “We must get acquainted tomor row,” she said, laying a small jew eled hand on his arm. “But no—! You and Gay will be leaving for ‘Dunedin’ fairly early. Christmas dinner, there, is always at two.” She glanced up at her husband, smiling through narrowed eyes. “If we’re to see any of the first act at all—-” her husband said a trifle hastily. “Yes, darling.” She turned again to John. “Perhaps we’ll see you later. If not, good-night.' Suki will take care of you. You are very welcome here. We want you to fed at home.” He would like to feel at home. But how cotild he, how could any body feel at home in this room? It was as artificial as the silvered wreaths which hung in the windows, as the Christmas tree, silvered too, reflecting its fantastic dazzle of blue lights and twisted glass icicles in a wall formed by mirrors, cut into sections by strips of chromium. “Well, what do you make of it?” He turned guiltily, conscious of some possible rudeness, then re laxed. Gay was \Alking toward him, so lovely in the dress of deep blue velvet she’d worn at dinner that his breath caught in his throat. She came up to where he stood and slipped her hand through his arm. “What were you thinking?” she asked, smiling up at him with amusement in her eyes. “You looked startled when I spoke to you.” “I was afraid someone had caught me being critical of the decora tions.” He turned again to the panel above the fire. “What is it?” he asked. "Flowers? Fruit?” “It’s a color note.” Her smile deepened. “Then it doesn’t mean anything?” "Not to me. Don’t puzzle your head over it, my sweet. If you do, you’ll go quietly mad.” She led him to the davenport which stood facing the fire. He sank down beside her into soft leather upholstery. “Moth er had all this done to occupy her mind when she found she hadn’t a wedding to arrange. . Besides Ced ric needed the money.” “Cedric?” 'T he earnest young man u . > the brainstorm. It has made him. He has more commissions than he can handle. He regards Kitty as a cross between Lady Bountiful and a fairy with a wand, which is very flat tering, of course. How did you get on with her?” “She’s lovely to look at,” he said guardedly, “and very kind.” Gay looked up at him. “But—? I want you to tell me what you think of everything. No reservations. They lead to misun derstandings.” Her face was grave. “Be frank with me, John.” “I’ll try to be frank. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but I think I’d feel more comfortable if she hadn’t received me so courteously.” “Why?” Gay asked in surprise. “Well, after bracing myself to face the opposition I expected, it’s a lit tle disconcerting to have your moth er, figuratively, at least receive me with open arms.” She laughed in genuine amuse ment. “Did you want to fight drag ons, darling?” “I suppose I did.” He laughed with her. “Well, cheer up. There’s Aimt Flora in the offing.” “Who is Aunt Flora? Is she a dragon?” “She’s my father’s sister, a wid ow. She’s lived with him since Mother’s, defection. No, she isn’t a dragon. She’s pathetic, really. She persists in observing the conven tions of a polite world of society which is past and gone. And she expects other people to observe them. She won’t receive you with open arms. Not that she blames you for the recent catastrophe, though. She tells me that I am my mother’s daughter.” “You aren’t like your mother, ex cept in certain superficial points of physical resemblance.” She looked at him, considering, looked away. “Have I offended you?” he asked, realizing that he had spoken with more warmth than the comment re quired. “I didn’t mean—Your moth er is charming. I—” “I wasn’t offended.” She took his hand in hers. “I was wondering how I could explain Mother to you. No, I’m not like her. I wish I were. Mother is really very logi cal. When places or people bore her she sees no reason why she should pretend that they mean any thing to her. She was.bored with Dad and so she divorced him and married Major Summerfield.” “You mean—Mr. Cameron is her third husband? I heard her speak of a Major Summerfield at dinner, blit I had no idea—” “She’s on friendly terms with both Dad and the Major,” Gay said but her smile wavered a little. “She doesn’t dislike them because they bored her. She was very sorry to have had to hurt .them but she saw no reason in continuing a relation ship which was no longer agreeable. You look horrified, John.” She dropped his hand. “I don’t sup pose you can understand.” - “I was thinking how—confusing it must have been for you,” he said slowly. . “It was, until I was old enough to understand Mother’s point of view. Now, it’s all very simple. Mother has never cared deeply for any one. It isn’t in her nature to cling to things, though she’s loyal in her way, and generous and kind. That’s why she looks as she does. She has no regrets for anything that has happened. (TO BE CONTINUED) % \ ever casual-looking, simply must be.

Seeing a car at the roadside, he got inside for shelter, hoping to get a lift when the driver turned up. After a little wait the car be gan to move very slowly and in the direction he wanted to go, al though the engine was not running. Eventually he reached his turn ing, so he jumped out. Then he saw a man about to get in, but warned him not to, as “there is something strange about this Car —the engine isn’t running.” The stranger replied: “Don’t I know it; I’ve been pushing the blamed thing for the last two miles.” y FREE!

Louisiana Surveyors Tackle Tough Problem General land office surveyors of Louisiana have undertaken a task forced upon them by ^ “a natural phenomenoh” more than a century and a half ago. Long before the Red River valley became populated with planters, the sluggish river was blocked by trees falling into the water and gradually stacked up in rafts. The waters of the river backed into bayous and into natural land formations, forming lakes. The problem of the authorities today is —who owns the lakes? Detailed accounts of the beginning of the log jam are lacking in gen eral land office records, but one re port-estimates that the raft' in the Red river grew at the rate of one mile a year during the 35-year pe riod between 1793 and'1828. Other reports of an exploration in 1806 tell of one obstruction in the river “forming an almost impene trable mass, which extends from the bottom to two or three feet above the surface of the water, a thick ness of 30 to 40 feet,” and stretch ing up the river for nearly 300 yards. Removal of the obstruction was begun in 1873. & B e d t i m e S n a c k ! i s s ^ lT r u y0U'L[HfHG Copf. 1M0 tv KeTlcgg Compuay Judgment and Company j in conversation.

AHD SOffll SLEEP TODAY’S Sick Child May Be Problem to Parents, Doctor By D R. JA M ES W. BARTON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) JUST as a child learn s to have confidence in and a liking for his physician, so also can he have fear and dis tr u s t. C e rta in thoughts or feel ings are associ a t e d w ith th e visit or sight of th e p h y s ic ia n a n d p a tie n c e and kindness w ill o p en th e w ay to the child’s tru st and confidence. Dr. Stewart R. Smith, Indianap olis, in the Journal of the Indiana State Medical Association says: “The general practitioner of med icine can be one of the most pro found influences on the emotional, life of the children wham he meets. The doc tor should know that this influence can accomplish a great deal in helping a sick child to a healthy acceptance of his illness, but it this influence is mis directed it may be a big factor in causing the youngster to be an invalid for life.” Doctor Most Know Parents. To gain full knowledge of why a youngster behaves as he does, the physician must know the child’s sur roundings, including the type of par ents he has. “Arguing with these children is useless, shaming is cruel, and coddling is fatal.” “In dealing with these children, the practitioner might well have un ending patience, have faith in the child’s ability, try to see the prob lem as the child sees it, and believe that in every sort of conduct dis order the child is . trying to solve some problem.” I believe that parents and teach ers before referring a youngster to a physician because of some “odd” behavior could save the time and patience of the physician by asking themselves “Why does he behave this way?” The answer, as Dr. Smith points out, is that the young ster is trying to solve a problem. By patient questioning, parent or teacher or both might learn what is the problem and help the {youngster to solve the problem for himself. ■PSP® Dr. Barton Immunization Is Boon to Children A PHYSICIAN friend <Jf mine once confided the following to ne:“I wish we had lived in a poor and more thickly populated section of the city when my youngsters were small; they would have had all the childhood diseases—measles, scarlet fever, chickenpox, whooping cough—and have become immune to (free from) virtually all ailments, now they are grown.” I do not think many parents would choose this method of “strengthen ing” their children because the com plications from these childhood ail ments might have resulted in par tial deafness, heart disease and eve* death. There is, however, a way of pro tecting children from many of these diseases. It is called the “immuni zation” of the children. In an article by Prof. C. S. Raue, M. D., Philadelphia, writing as guest editor of the Medical World, it is said: Earliest Immunization. “The earliest immunization pro cedure is vaccination against small pox. The best time to vaccinate an infant is between the third and the sixth month. At this age complica tions are less likely to occur and there is little or no danger of brain inflammation following vaccination.” After the infant is six months old, there "should be immunization against whooping cough; it is claimed that 80 per cent of children receiving Sauer whooping cough vaccine will, two to three months after vaccination, be immune for several years. Nine months is the age to immu nize against diphtheria. The Storror of diphtheria is almost unknown to young parents today. The advisability of immunizing against scarlet fever is not fully endorsed by the medical profession; it is left to the physician’s judg ment in each case. “There is no vaccine for obtain ing permanent immunity against measles, but a child exposed to measles may be protected by an in. jection of placental globulin. * * * QUESTION BOX Q.—What causes pain at the top Cf the head as if it were gripped by an iron lung? A.—This is often a symptom tf neurasthenia—physical and mental fatigue. Q.—What are the symptoms «f goiter? A.—The symptoms of the seven type of goiter are nervousness, rap id heart beat, sleeplessness and digestion. • A A \ IA^B THE DAVIE RECORD,.

IUE DAVlE RET FRAWE STROtfP >’ "WHO’S TELEIMONE_______ Ehitered atthe Postc NEWS vllle, N. C., as Seco matter. Uarch 3.1'" SUBSCRI By LEMUEL F. PARTON {Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NEW YORK.—Gen. Emilio de Bono, taking command of Italy’s southern armies with her en try into ,the war, is said to have had D e Bono First to ‘ n d ^ o n le ft Nail ‘Empire' on seizure of em- FascistMast-Head Pi r i t Is in those parts. Now 75 years old, a tiny man, scarcely taller than Italy’s little king, he has been built up as a rough- and-tumble wildcat fighter, a legend which he sustains by ferocious activ ity. They benched him in the mid dle of the Ethiopian conquest be cause, he complained, the Ethio pians wouldn’t step out and fight. They sent in Gen. Pietro Badoglio and he finished them with poison gas. Early in 1935, General De Bono recorded his heart’s desire in Mussolini’s political review, Gerarchia, as follows: “One proclaims, even shouts, often and perhaps too much, a beau tiful word that I have personally promised myself not to pro nounce or write any more un less it is on the day where one can by direct action give a real reason to the why of this great word. Oh, well, although old, I will live to see that day.” The word so hallowed he dared hot write it was—“Empire.” The pint-size general was one of the original quadrumvirate of Fas cism and is said to have been the first to nail the empire slogan on the Fascist masthead. This writer remembers having seen him once— an extraordinarily active, bright eyed, talkative little man, with a neat white beard—a few hours after a mob of young blackshirts had wrecked the house of former Pre mier Nitti, in Florence, and slit to shreds his classical library of books which ranged back to the Fifteenth century. In 1936 General De Bono was charged with knowledge of the political kidnaping and murder of the Deputy Matteoti. There was latent opposition to Fascism then, and Il Duce hastily sent his little wildcat general to Af rica. . The incident was forgot ten and the general went to work getting Africa ready for empire day. He was the Fas cist chief of police in the early days of the regime and built up the Italian Cheka. He entered the Milan Military academy at the age of 12, and has put in his entire career in the army. * — THOMAS N ast, the hornet who stung Boss Tweed, is perhaps the best precedent for David Low. Similarly, the British cartoonist has C artoonist Low ^ r " fa T n ’f E arly Touched “ A p o lo g ia Up Fifth Column Germ anica’’ fo r several years. A brief cable today reports the telling effect of his cartoons in stirring a ' new surge of anger against the trimmers and side-step- pers of the immediate pre-war years. Correspondents score this on the side of new unity and fighting' spirit. The quiet, bearded Briton With a big black hat touched up the fifth column long before the Norway debacle. Visiting the United States in October, 1936, he said: “We’re becoming a world of stool pigeons. There are too many white rats loose everywhere. I’m pessimistic. We’d better get ready to save what we have. That goes for the U. S. A., too. People who believe in civilization don’t know what’s happening to it. They’d better find out. I’m trying to tell them.” During the last two years, his ten-strike cartoons have been car ried on the cables and widely re produced in this country, the first to be thus distinguished. They have found publication in many other countries—signed “Low,” as the David has long since been dropped. He says people have to learn to laugh to win a war, and adds, “We laugh too much from our back teeth and too little from our stomachs.” He is of Shakespearian aspect and says that his neat little beard is in deference to the bard and not Mos cow. He was born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1891 and began his ca reer as a cartoonist with the Syd- ney (Australia) Bulletin. tt’T 'H E Beautiful Girl of the Bow- ery Run” heads the move of the American Medical Women’s as sociation to get military rating for women physicians in government service, and to prepare women doc tors and dentists for effective war work—if necessary. The above des ignation was that of Dr. Emily D. Barringer, when she was the coun try’s first woman ambulance sur geon in 1903. She recently retired after twenty-one years on the staff of the Kingston Avenue hospital, Brooklyn. ‘Miss liberty’ Salures Refugee liner THIS WEEK The Statue of Liberty was a welcome sight to the refugees from war-torn Europe who jam one of the Seeks of the United States liner, Manhattan, as the liner passes the distinguished lady (background) on its way to its New York .city pier.'

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY!CHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.j j e . ” ' — - - •••Dean of Tbe Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for July 7 „ Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se* Jected and copyrighted by Internationa] Council of Religious Education: used by permission. JOB TEMPTED TO DOUB& GOD’S GOODNESS LESSON TEXT—Job 2:1-13.GOLDEN TEXT—In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.—Job 1:22. Poetry has in all ages been the language of the soul. Feelings be yond the reach of the choicest prose seem to pour forth unhindered through the poetic channel. That is one reason why Christian people find such a response in their own souls as they read the magnificent poetry of the Bible. For the next three months we are to be privileged to carry on a study of the poets of the Bible. None of us should miss a single lesson. The book of Job deals with and solves the fundamental problem, “What is the meaning of the suffer ing of the righteous?” Our first les son presents Satan as the great ad versary and accuser of man, and reveals that man may successfully resist him by faith in God. I. Satanic Accusation (w . 1-5). The lesson opens with a scene in heaven, where the angelic beings present themselves to give an ac count of their activities. Satan, too, is there as the adversary and accus er of men’s souls. He had already, by God’s permission and as a test of Job’s faith, destroyed all of Job’s property and taken from him his family (see Job,1:14-19), but he had not destroyed Job’s trust in God (1 :21). Now Satan had a new charge; namely, that Job could bear the loss of bis children and his riches, but if God would permit his own body to be afflicted, he would deny God. It is the familiar refuge of thjse who would lie about the servants of God to say, “He is in it for what he gets out of it.” Those who use that lie do well to recognize the originator of their calumny; they are working with Satan when they thus hinder the Lord’s work. II. Spiritual Integrity (w . 6-10). The trial of Job was most severe, for only his life was spared. His affliction was evidently not only that of boils on his skin (which would have been bad enough), but a sys temic condition which made his whole body sick and made him so repulsive as to be unfit to live with other people (see Job 7:1-5, 14, 15; 16:8; 19:17-20). Not only did he suffer physically within an inch of his life, but he was subjected to the mental and spiritual torture of having the one who should have stood by him—his wife—urge him to renounce his faith in God and die. Many who have borne excru ciating physical pain have broken down under spiritual cruelty, but Job still maintained his integrity. Why God permitted him to suffer he did not yet understand, but he knew God and he was willing to take from His hand evil as well as good (v. 10). as long as His heavenly Father was in control. What a tes timony! m . Sympathetic Friendship (w. 11-13). His wife and-neighbors had aban doned Job, and even the children of the street despised him (19:18), but he did have three friends. Thank God for friendship—not the fair weather - kind, but the type that stands by in the hour of trouble. These friends apparently came from a distance (w., 11 , 12) and at some sacrifice of time, effort and money. Friendship that doesn’t cost any thing usually doesn't amount to anything. Note the intelligent and sympa thetic manner in which they shared his sorrow. They were themselves sorrowful (v. 12 ) and they sat with him, not saying a ‘word. In the hour of deepest need words are futile and often only add to the sorrow, but how much it means in such an hour to have someone who will si lently, and yet sympathetically, stand by. One could wish that his friends had continued as they began and not later have spoiled their comfort by many important sound ing but foolish words which the Lord had to condemn in the serious words found in Job 42:7, 8. We shall see the answer- to the question regarding suffering in our lesson for July 21 as being that man might be brought to really know God and to see himself in the light of God’s holiness. Thus, by victory through testing, man proves to him self and to his fellow men that God is worthy of our fullest confidence, that faith in Him will bring us through the deepest darkness and Hie severest trial. * Roots of Evil To abolish evil its roots must be dug up and exposed in the sunlight, where they will wither and perish. These roots thrive underground and are cancerous.

In her house there was an enor mous kitchen and her mother hated big kitchens. So, a parti tion was used to divide it into two rooms.

The story goes that the devil once asked St. Dun- stan, who was noted for his skill in shoeing horses, to shoe his hoof. Dunstan, recognizing his visitor, tied him up tightly, and caused the devil so much pain in the shoe- - ing process that he yelled for mercy. At last Dunstan agreed to re- .Jeaso him on condition that he would never again enter any place where a horseshoe was displayed. Hence the old custom of nailing horseshoes up over the doors of houses, stables, etc. IorTIRED FEET I PE N ETRO J Wealth Possesses Men The lust of avarice has so totally seized upon mankind that their wealth seems rather to possess them, than they possess their wealth.—Pliny.

It might be a party on the porch or in the yard—or a picnic in the country, if you prefer it. Make it a family affair, or invite a youth ful guest or two to keep your own children company. Whatever type of party you plan, make it a festive affair—with gay table decorations (if refreshments are being served at home), very special “Party foods” and patri otic party favors, too. Gaily colored paper table cloths and napkins are a must, and they do save work! And be sure .to provide balloons and snap crackers, or noisemakers of another kind. Plan definite entertainment, with an active game or two to permit the children to use up excess energy, and a “pencil and paper” or guess ing game to play when a little rest is in order. Pencil and paper games such as these two might be used— and you’ll find that adults as well as young people enjoy them. Jumbled Names. Prepare for each player a typed or mimeographed copy of the fol lowing list of scrambled letters each of which, when unscrambled, spells the name of a famous American. To get an idea of what the game is like,- why not try your own luck with the list before looking at the answers?

Pine Bluff, A ik.—A group of Pine Bluff business and profession al men have formed a “ Wendell Willkie Democratic club,” declar ing it to be the Srstln the nation. Dr. Tom S. Agerton, elected president, said the meeting wais at tended by 35 persons—all Demo crats. He said the purposes of the club were “ to encourage Mr Will kie’s election and aid in his cam paign in any way possible. Pine Bluff has long been regard ed as a Democratic stionghold in a strongly Democratic State. Paralysis of Government Francem ade a pitiful plea for help for the United States which we conld not have planes and tanks in worthwhile quantities and could not build them. And e veu if we bad a large and well-equipped army there would have been a substan tial objection to sending'it. Con gress fearful of the voters would not have authorized it and without that authorization the President was helpless. France knew that and got the answer it expected. Now that the removal of the Brit ish government to Canada is more a probabilito than a possibility, the question arises as to the character and extent of assistance we are will ing to give and the specific mea sures of protection we are will to undertake in connection with Lond on and Ottawa, to keep the victor ious Germans confined to Europe. Such decisions will not admit of anv prolonged debate if they are to be effective. • Yet our governmental machinery is not equipped for quick decisions unless we could shed our political clothes and go to it united ly. The President does not have the power, to make definite commit ments. and Congress is so concern, ed with Its own political Importr ance that it cannot think in terms ultimately national security. In other words the American gov ernment is paralyzed by the poison of political expediency if not poli tical Jealousies—paralyzed by the' division of authority between Con. gress and the President and the partisan politics that involves both the legislative and administrative branches of government. Isn’t it a pity that a political truce cannot be declared while par ty leaders gather around a council table to discuss such vital issues as these in a manner that reflects the sentiment of the people whom they are supposed to represent? Instead we have the spectacle of a- desested national legislature while our re presentative troop to Philadelphia and Chicrgo to chart the strategy for partisan political advancement. —Statesville Daily.

Playing poli tics as usual, he sought to make it appear that the New Deal Jwd in creased militarv equipment over the supDly on hand when he took office. By the use of the words “ on hand or on order,” Mr. Roosevelt attempted to convince the people that certain equipment is actually available when, as a matter of fact it is non-existant. Speaking of anti-aircraft guns Mr. Roosevelt said: “ We;, now have more than 1,700 modern anti aircraft guns of alt types 011 hand or 011 order.” General Marshall chief of staff and Liefntl Col. Crawford testified before the subcommittee of the of the Senate Committee on Ap propriations on May 1 of this year, that the army now has 440 anti aircraft guns “on hand arid under order” for mobile regiments, and 86 fixed anti aircraft guns, making 526 in all, on band and under order. Mr. Roosevelt, referring to tanks told the people that “ today we have on hand and on order 1,700 .” Brig. Gcn. R. C. Moore, assistant chief of staff, testified befoie the Senate subcommittee on May 17, of this year, as follows: “ There are two kinds of tanks. Of the light new tanks we had actually on hard on May I only 10 . We have under order enough to provide 402. * * * The total number of tanks we will have on' hand when this additional money is provided will be 734 light tanks we will be 734 light thanks. * * * There are no heavy tank?.

W hy should anv sane person ad vocate the continuance of the New Deal, when the outstanding pro- hlem today is unemployment, which is as serious now as it was seven years ago! A man with only one eye and blind in that can see that there is something wrong when hogs are selling at five cents a pound on foot and twelve million neoole cannot afford pork to eat. Bnt that’s the way the New Deal works. If you are hungry vote for a change. As long as the statement goes unchallenged that one-third of our people are ill-fed. ill-clad and ill. housed” the chief concern of otir leaders should be the solution of our domestic orohletns. But we will nowhere towards solving domestic problems so long as the press de votes two thirds of its space to war news and war propaganda.

W hether it is under the New Deal or the Old Deal, it is a dan gerous thing for the people to dele gate to one man the right and authoritv do all their thinking and — planning.

Perhaps Tom got'the idea from FDR to talk haramscaramically. Whem FDR was running in »936 , he solemnly promised to cut government ex penses 25 per cent, to abolish bu reaus and commissions and balance the budget, all of which he hasn’t done or even tried to do. When FDR speaks now he takes great pains to avoid mention of those economy speeches he made in 1932 Grand Old Fall Guy.

PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) 1VfEW YORK.—Dr. Frank Kingdon ’ resigned as president of the University of Newark to serve the cause of American unity against 'Freedom’ Still Embodies Our Hope and Faith various open and hidden d is ru p tiv e forces. Cer tain industri alists have become doll’ar-a-year men for military rearmament. Dr. Kingdon is perhaps the first man to give up his job to work for intellec tual rearmament. With others, he built the Citizenship Educational Service to advance tolerance, co operation and all-around American solidarity. Theodore Roosevelt is its chairman and Dr. Kingdon is educational director. “American Unity” was the subject of Dr. Kingdon’s address before the Institute of Public Affairs at Char lottesville, Va., recently. A few days ago, this writer happened to be pres ent when Dr. Kingdon was convers ing with a New York citizen of dis tinction and influence who main tained that democracy was both de cadent and impotent. In his Char lottesville address, Dr. Kingdon said: "The other day, I was arguing with a self-confessed Fascist. I happened to use the word free dom. He immediately scoffed, saying, ‘Freedom for what? Freedom to be unemployed? Freedom to starve?’ He knew that the word was one of the signal words of human history. He could not meet it squarely. So he tried to tie it up with all kinds of other words having un pleasant definitions in order to destroy its own appeal by trans ferring to it their dismay. His was a deliberate effort to empty of meaning a word that is packed with hope and faith. His performance was typical of the planned and concerted attempt to destroy the foundations of our thought so that we shall crumble before a vigorous onslaught from the cause with which he has allied himself.” , In the above address Dr. King- don assays such words as Christi anity, freedom, religion, propagan da, isolation, in the interest of tol erance and unity. Such is one of the unique endeavors of the Citizen ship Educational Service. Dr. Kingdon, tall, urbane school man and cleric, was born in London and came to this country in 1912, at the age of 17. He was educated at University College school, Lon don, and Boston university. •--- IN BRAZIL, there is a saying that President Getulio Vargas is so clever that he can take off his socks without removing his shoes. Cer tainly some such deft pro cedure was in dicated when he eased Bra zil noiselessly into a dictatorship in 1937. Currently his swing on “sterile democracy,” and his indorsement of European dictatorships as “vigorous peoples fit for life” is big news in the western world, heeling quickly, as it does, the Italian aggression. There are 400,000 Germans in Brazil who have indicated similar views about "sterile democracy.” President Vargas has seemed much more able and plausible than most dictators. He isn’t given to casual shooting or hang ing and he says very little and this in a low voice, never in a sports palast or on a balcony. He built his 1930 campaign on a bare-knuckle fight against the “plutocratic coffee barons” of the Sao Paulo. He was badly defeated. He didn’t yell, “I’ve been robbed,” but instead gath ered a few of his old gaucho friends and quietly took over the country. For four years, he ruled by de cree and then set up a liberal con stitution, written by the national as sembly. He proclaimed his alle giance to liberal government and the democratic ideal. He governed effectively and is credited with hav ing cut down debt and upped pro duction. Reared in a prairie town, he en rolled in a military college, but was diverted to the law and, like many of our own politicians, reached the national congress, with a start as district attorney. At about two o’clock on the morning of November 10, 1937, President Vargas telephoned all the members of his cabinet and ' the leaders of his legislature to come to the palace immediately. They seized weapons as they dashed for their cars. The presi dent received them urbanely, broke out cigars and wine, chat ted a few moments and then handed them a document in which he had scrapped and fired congress, nullified existing laws and substituted his own code. There was no dissent President Vargas Of Brazil Senses Direction of Wind Their Motto Is, ‘Be Prepared’ HlbJlOCtS XHMlD AUlSKi *>1» IisTVifK * wcvn Bearing posters demanding a strong national defense “to preserve the freedom wan for us by the found ers of our nation,” these five girls, dressed in Revolutionary war soldiers’ uniforms, rode up Fifth avenue, New York city, in a horse-drawn victoria, to observe the 165th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill.

E^SCREEN* By VIRGINIA VALE(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) TH E first actor in Hollywood history ever to be elected a delegate to a national polit ical convention, M elvyn Doug las w onders if he w ill be able to enjoy the honor. “Of course I can alw ays be represented by proxy,” he said the other day. “B ut a chance like this com es only every four years, and I’d hate to m iss it.” Douglas made preparations to. be in Chicago July 15 for the big con clave. But he temporarily forgot that he is also an actor, involved in the new Columbia comedy, “He Stayed for Breakfast,” along with Loretta Young, Eugene Pallette, Una O’Connor and A la n Marshall. Alexander Hall, the director, is making every effort to hurry things along, and is making all the scenes with Douglas first. If you think you’d like to be a mo tion picture producer, pause and consider what happened at the Para mount studio recently when Joel Mc- Crea withdrew from the cast of “Arise My Love” because of ill health. (I) Because of McCrea’s withdrawal, Ray Milland was plucked from the cast of “Virginia” to take the McCrea assignment, op- JOEL McCREA posite Claudette Colbert. (2) That meant that “Virginia” wouldn’t start on time. (3) That meant that Franchot Tone, who was to have co- starred in “Virginia,” had to with draw from the cast, because he had another commitment, and could ap pear in “Virginia” only if it started on schedule. (4) That meant that Fred McMurray stepped into the role for which Milland had been scheduled, playing opposite Made leine Carroll, but (5) She flew to England recently; at the moment of writing there’s no telling when she’ll be back. Dorothy Lamour traded a $10,000,- 000 (according to her studio) head of hair for 30 cents’ worth of calico, and it wasn’t just a stunt in a movie scenario either. Seems she’s been wanting to bob those 40;inch tresses, which played quite a part in estab lishing her as a draw at the box- office. The studio wanted her to make some more pictures in which she wore a sarong, and she was de termined not to. So both sides gave in; she had her hair bobbed by Wally Westmore, head of the make up department (and cried a little, as most girls do when they hear that first snip of the shears) and consented to do three South Seas pictures — “Moon Over Burma,” “Aloma of the South Seas,’’ with Jon Hall, and “South of Samoa,” with Bing Crosby. A custom has been initiated dur ing the rehearsals of the Rudy Val- Iee show to mark the scripts with asterisks to denote the laugh al lowed. The reason for this is to clock for timing when the show is actually broadcast. Four asterisks are tops in laugh pauses. The other night someone in the cast asked scriptwriter Sid Fields what it meant to see five asterisks instead of the customary four. Re plied Fields, “Then you know that you have the Fred Alien script by mistake.” When you see the Bing Crosby picture, “Rhythm on the River,” you may be surprised to find that Ken Carpenter, Bing’s announcer and chime ringer on the air, plays a radio announcer named “Ken Car penter.” It’s the result of an acci dent. Scenarists had given Carpen ter another name in the picture, but John Scott Trotter, who’s Bing’s broadcast band leader and plays a band leader in the picture, made a long film take in which he called Carpenter by his real name. It was simpler to change the name than to' do the scene over again. Arthur Lake’s desire for realism on the “Blondie” radio show nearly disrupted the program recently. In one scene he had to fall down, with the proper accompanying sound ef fects; usually that just means that the sound man makes the noises. But Arthur insisted on doing his own fall. The show was on for the east ern broadcast. Arthur fell wrong, the script flew in all directions, and Pen ny Singleton had to rush over with her script and let Arthur read his part from it until his script had been reassembled.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I c h o q l Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. -Deao of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for July 14 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Relisious Education: used by permission. JOB’S STRUGGLE TO FAITH IN LIFE AFTER DEATH LESSON TEXT—Job 14:13-17; 17:13-16; 19:23-29.GOLDEN TEXT—For I know that my re* deemer liveth.—Job 19:25. If life ends at the grave, it has comparatively little meaning and its struggles and sorrows are hardly worth bearing. Job, living in all probability about 1,500 years before Christ, did not liave our knowledge of the resurrection of Christ and the assurance that He is but the "first fruits of them that slept” and that we too shall rise (see I Cor. 15:22, 23). But in the midst of suffering, discouragement and spiritual con flict, he looked with the eye of faith all the way beyond the grave. The background of our lesson is found in Job’s experience with his three professed comforters, who speak thus: “Eliphaz: But who ever perish being innocent (4:7)? Be glad that you are being corrected (4:17). Job: Answer my question and I will keep still. Show me where I am ,wrong. What does your ‘proof’ [prove (6:24, 25)? “Biddad: Do you think God per- erts justice (8:3)? Ask the wise ien of the ages. Consider what our athers taught (8:8). Job: It is all :he same; God destroys the right- ous with the wicked (9:22). “Zophar: Do you expect to un- erstand God? Put evil away 11:7, 14). Job: I know as much as ou do (13:2). Your burning re- arks are cold ashes (13:12). I ould like to reason it out with God 13:3). I have stated my case; I |am righteous (13:8). "The three friends have not helped iim, but Job struggles on alone with [the problem.”—Dr. Carl S. Knopf. I. Uncertainty—“If a man die, ihall he live again?” (14:13-17). Job, while maintaining that he as righteous, felt that his sufferings ust indicate that God was dis- ileased with him. He thought he ight best seek refuge in Sheol R. V. in place of “grave” in v. 13), « abode of the dead. But sudden- he turned again to the hope which ras dear to his heart; namely, iat somehow there must be a Iessed future life with God. {He asked the question, “If a man te, shall he live again?” The fact Iat he quickly lapsed into despair Idicates that he was not 'certain Iat the answer to his question was res.” How blessed it is that we now, for have we not heard the bice of the One who, standing be- Ire a grave in Bethany, said, “I am- ng resurrection and the life: he that, plieveth in me, though he were bad, yet shall he live” (John 11: f)? III. Hope—“Where, then, is my. ppe?” (Job 17:13-16). IEliphaz had again sought to set Ib right by accusing him of vanity, npatience and pride (chap. 15). |>b answered (chaps. 16 and 17) that |s friends were worse than useless comforters, being so sanctimoni es in their assurance of his wick-' ness, when in fact he was only a Ian who was on the verge of de lair, but still holding to his faith , God. Job cried out, "Where, then, is my Jpe?”—undoubtedly thus express- his bewilderment, bordering on Implete despair. Yetdowenoteven I the question see that he still had |pe? The man who has given up lys, “There is no hope” ; but Job |ntinued to hope against hope, cry- [ out, "Where is my hope?” know- ; full well that his only hope was i God. There is a lesson here that we do fell to learn. Whatever our situa*. In may be we shall find that God ■there and that we may trust Him. [“Does all the world seem against you J And you in the battle alone? (Remember, at ’Wit’s End Corner'Is where God’s power is shown/* Faith—“I know that my re am er liveth” (Job 19:23-29). at blessed vision and what irious faith! Job lived in the time Moses or before. He had no New festament—no old Testament—but e did have God, and by faith he believed that God was to make Him self known to man here on earth as a living Redeemer. We say that we know because we have the record of His coming; of. the Son of God incarnate; of His bearing our sins on Calvary; of His death and resurrection again; of His ascension to be with the Father, and His coming again in glory and power. Job, however, had to reach through doubt and darkness to faith in life after death. How much rich er should be our faith, ‘infinitely more precious, stirring us to loving obedience and service for Christ our Redeemer. A Blessed Inheritance Blessed be the God-and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ac cording to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.—I Pe ter: I, 3, 4.

It can be done and it’s a wise homemaker who ar ranges her schedule during the pleasant summer weather, to allow for a few hours of leisure, here and there.

Robert adores her.” Gay changed her position and laughed. "How sol emn we’re being I We weren’t sol emn today. Did you enjoy seeing New York in a snowstorm?” “I enjoy being with you wherever you are, though ‘enjoy’ is much too polite a word.” “Those first few days at the cabin —We were so polite to each other.” "I can barely remember. I wish we were there now.” “So do I. Thinking of the woods In a snow-storm makes all this seem like a stage-setting, doesn’t it? ,Do you remember when you asked me if I would love you when we were together in New York?” “Yes—” He held her closer. “I was afraid to come.” “But you aren’t afraid now.” “No. But I can’t believe it’s true.” “Dear, dear!” She lifted her head from his shoulder and, smiling, drew an exaggerated sigh. “Convincing you is certainly up-hill work. You’re the most obstinate person I know.” “I guess you’re right. I loved you pretty stubbornly for six years.” ■ “It has its advantages, hasn’t it?” She looked at him gravely, her eyes soft and bright. “I love you,” she said. ■ He drew her close to him. “I IoVe you,” he said, his lips against 'her cheek. At a repeated sound from behind them, Gay drew away somewhat !hastily., John, too, turned. The Japanese house-boy, his face dis creetly expressionless, stood just in side the room. . “What, is it, Suki?” Gay asked. “Comp’ny come, please. Gentle man, ladies call up from below. Say send down elevator, please.” I “Good-Heavens!” She looked at ■him in dismay. “I might have known —I should have told them we were going out to the country.” “Tell them now.” She shook her head. “Who is it, Suki?” “Miss Wales. Mrs. Howard. Lady not say gentleman’s name.” ; “Send the elevator down.” The house-boy bowed himself out of the room. She turned to John. Her face cleared. She laughed. “You look frightened.” I “I’m terrified.” , “If I refused to let them meet you, they’d think you weren’t presenta ble. I want them to meet you. I’m pro’id of you. You look grand in evening clothes. You ought to wear them always.” .“I might get a job as a waiter.” He caught her hand, “!won’t know what to say to them.” “Idiot! What do you say to me?” “I tell you I love you.” ; Her brows lifted. “You can omit that. Don't be frightened. They’re really quite harmless.” “If you would coach me a little—” “Oh, John!” She kissed him, but absently, he thought. Her expres sion was thoughtful, a little appre hensive as she pulled him up from ,the davenport, as they walked through soft glow of concealed light ing, through the frosty glitter of the Christmas tree toward the door to greet her friends. CHAPTER VIII The last record in the electric Victrola whirred to a stop. John led the small vivacious brunette with whom he had been dancing to the davenport facing the fire where he had sat with-'Gay. “You’re a wonderful dancer,” she said, settling herself in a swirl of scarlet chiffon. “You sound surprised.” John smiled. “We aborigines who live in Maine don't confine our amusement to war dances, by any means.” She glanced at him doubtfully, then laughed. “The mystery is clearing up,” she said. “Mystery?” “Well, we have wondered, you know,” she went on with an air of artless frankness too deliberate to be entirely sincere. “I mean, Gay goes dashing off into the wilds and then comes home and breaks her engagement and won’t tell us any thing about you except that you’re a doctor and her god-father’s nephew. You can’t imagine how curious we’ve been to meet you.” Here it was again. John had been obliged to respond to that approach many times during the evening as Gay’s friends had arrived and de parted in !restless, animated groups. “You must find me very disap pointing,” he said, making no effort to rephrase a reply which, so far, had appeared to be adequate. ‘(Not at all.” Her bright brown eyes sparkled at him through curl ing lashes. “Of course most of us met you at Gay’s debutante party but we didn’t—” “—pay any attention to me?” He felt that his smile was becoming fixed. “I’d meant to say that we didn’t dream all this romance was brew ing. It is romantic, you know. I .mean you never expect such a thing to happen to one of your friends.” On the surface, at least, it was all very friendly. Perhaps he only imagined that under their apparent ly casual acceptance of him, these friends of Gay’s were deliberately making him feel an outsider in sub tle ways of which he was conscious but which he could not define. That was natural, he told himself. Todd Janeway was one of them. His name had been mentioned, during the evening, in connection with Christmas Eve of last year, with ref erence to the Army-Navy football game, in casual reminiscence. Todd’s sister, Ellen, was here, the slight graceful girl in the tailored hat who, coming in with the good- looking red-haired boy in tweeds, had explained that they were on their way out to the Janeway coun try place for Christmas. “Don’t you adore this apart ment?” she was asking when he gave her his attention. “It’s very—unusual.” “I’m crazy about it. I've been trying to persuade Mums and Dads to take a pent-house but they say they can’t afford to sell the family mausoleum even if anybody could be persuaded to buy it. We’re prac tically paupers,” she added cheer fully. “Dads is loaded with foreign bonds and you know what they’re worth now.” John wanted, very sincerely, to understand, if he could the point-of- ■view of these sleek young people for, though she was more intelli gent than the girl who chattered beside him, it must, of necessity, be Gay’s. It was a rare person who remained uninfluenced by the thought and behavior of his or her companions. You never entirely es caped the environment in which you had been reared. You were bound to the past by a thousand tenuous ties of habit, prejudice, affection, ties of which you were unaware, perhaps, until, when confronted by some opposite idea, you felt them tugging you back into the safety of familiar ideas, values, habits. He’d felt them tugging when . . . “I beg your pardon,” he said, warned by a sustained upward in flection in his companion’s voice that she had asked a question. “It doesn’t matter.” He thought that she looked a littie bored. Her eyes flicked past him toward the piano where the girl with auburn hair was singing, apparently for her own amusement since the group clustered about her continued to talk in staccato tones which carried across the room. “I asked you if you and Gay were spending tomor row here or at her father’s place in the country.” “In the country, I think.” He wanted to add something to that. He wanted to apologize more fully for his inattention. What a dull lout she must think him. Not that he cared, except for Gay. He was as relieved as he felt his companion must be when he saw a group of of four people come in from the hall and cross the room toward the dav enport. “We’ve been out on the terrace looking at the view,” Tory Wales said as she came up to them. She dropped down on the davenport and a white fur-coat, so soft that it crum pled like velvet as it fell,, slid down over her bare brown shoulders and back. “Your, slippers are wet, Tm afraid,” her companion, the burly but well-groomed young Englishman Who was her flance, said. “Don’t fuss, HaL You. can’t kill an Indfian with a little snow.” She leaned back against the apricot leather of the upholstery and held up two fingers. Her fiance put a cigarette between them. : The girl in red laughed. “Don’t you two talk the . same language?” she asked. “Weil, you must admit that my English is a little different from Hal’s,” Tonr Wales said,’, her light eyes, startling in contrast Withv her skin, twinkling with derisive humor which reminded him of Kate, “When his family was here in October we practically had to use deaf and dumb signals. I’m learning, though.” She glanced up at her fian ce who smiled as though he found her very amusing, relaxed against, the upholstery, graceful legs crossed, and made a half turn to ward John, seated between her and the girl in red, who, now that rein forcements had arrived, showed no inclination to leave. “When are you planning to locate in New York, Dr. Houghton?” “I don’t expect to locate in New York,” John said, a little startled at the question. “Oh, aren’t you going to practice here?” the girl in red asked. “We naturally assumed that you were.” “Why ‘naturally’?” John asked smiling, but with the uncomfortable feeling that he was being deliberate ly quizzed. “Well, Gay’s connections are here. We thought—That’s very disappoint ing.” The girl in red gave a ripple of laughter which held, John thought, some confusion. “I was planning to develop a chronic ail ment. After all, one must be loyal to one’s friends.” “I appreciate your interest,” John said, “but I shouldn’t have a private practice in any event.” “Dr. Houghton is a scientist, dar ling,” Tory Wales said speaking across him to the girl in red. “That’s very interesting.” The Englishman lowered his glass to look at John. “Are you working with a founda tion?” the boy in the tweed suit asked. “Nothing so impressive.” John laughed briefly. “Just now I’m as- On the surface, at least, it was all very friendly. sisting a physician in Portland. Gen eral practice. I’m hoping—” The girl in red interrupted with a request for a cigarette. John felt both irritated and relieved. He didn’t want to talk of his work, especially, but that was preferable to more personal references. In the flurry of providing the girl at his right with a cigarette, he glanced toward the group at the piano. Gay turned, as he watched, started across the room with Janice Howard. The others fol lowed. “Jan and Rickey think they must go,” Gay said, coming up to the davenport. “You needn’t, Tory,” Janice How ard said. “We can call a cab. But if we’re to join the family festivi ties tomorrow, steps must be taken at once.” “We must go too, Tommy.” Ellen Janeway rose. “We’re meeting the midnight train in from Chicago. Francie and Ned are arriving, Gay. Maybe we’ll see you in the country tomorrow.” “I want to see Francie and Ned. Are they bringing the babies?” "Oh, yes. We’re driving them out to the country tonight. The roads are fairly clear. Todd phoned—” Sie stopped and her soft color deep ened. “We’re shoving off, Hal,” Tory Wdles said quickly. She rose and shrugged into the white fur coat. “We’re going home and hang up our stockings. Maybe you’ll get a bale of oats in yours, if you’re good,” she added, linking her arm through the arm of her fiance. “Good-night, Gay. Good-night, Dr. Houghton. We’ll see you Wednes day evening.” “Good-night, Dr. Houghton.” Jan ice Howard extended a slender hand. “It’s been pleasant to meet you.” “Good-night, everybody,” Gay said. “Merry Christmas. Good night—” John was standing at one of the long windows when Gay came into the drawing-room. She went to him, moving swiftly, noiselessly over foe rugs which Suki had replaced. “What do you see?” she asked, standing beside him. “Are you watching for Santa Claus? He doesn’t come in a boat.” .,He turned when she spoke, glanc ing at her, looked out and down through the window again. “Manhattan is an island, isn’t it?” he said in a detached, distant voice. “I’ve never been able to believe it. But seeing water down under the windows—” “John—” Her breath caught in her throat. He looked so unapproach able standing there with his back to the room, in darkness, now, ex cept for the blue and silver dazzle of the Christmas tree, the restrained glow of the birch-log fire. She slipped her hand into the pocket where his was thrust, laid her cheek against his arm. “It must be colder,” he said stead ily. “The snow isn’t melting. See it on the deck of that scow there un der the light.” “John—Darling—! I know what you’re thinking. Don’t!” He looked at her then and she saw the unhappiness in his eyes. His lips moved as though he meant to speak but no sound came. “John,” she said quietly, “look at me.” He turned, silent, unsmiling, wait ing for her to continue. “Have you changed your mind?” she asked steadily. “Are you trying to tell me—?” Her voice faltered, trembled, was stilled. “Oh Gay, no!” He made a de spairing gesture. “I’m trying to see this thing clearly. We can’t rush into it blindly.” “Can’t we be comfortable, at least,” she said wearily. He followed her to the davenport before the fire, sat at a little di» tance from her. "Cigarette?” she asked. “Thank you.” He struck a match to light hers. As he bent toward her, she saw that his expression had softened. “You’re tired,” he said gently. "A little.” He did not touch her, though she willed him to with all her strength. When his cigarette was lit, he sat back against the upholstery. “I don’t wonder,” he said bitterly. “You’ve carried me on your shoulders all evening and I’m a pretty heavy load.” “Don’t be an idiot, darling.” “You watched me, you watched your friends, as though you were afraid—” “I was afraid.” “That I’d do or say something that would humiliate you?” “No, John. That they would try to make you feel uncomfortable, an outsider, someone who didn't be long.” He turned to her, puzzled. “Deliberately?” he asked. She nodded. “I sensed something of the sort.” “You can’t understand it, I sup pose.” “I’m trying. Tve been trying all evening.” He crushed out his ciga rette. “It’s the assurance that wealth gives, I suppose. These friends of yours who were here to night—” “They can be loyal, too,” she said quickly, more defensively than she knew. “It would have been loyalty to Todd if they’d been unpleasant to you, tonight.” “But what about you, and your cousin?” “He—I—” She was silent. (TO BE CONTINUED) 'Sixth Sense’ Governs Guesswork Accuracy A sixth sense—extrasensory per ception—governs to a certain degree the accuracy of guesswork, tests conducted by Columbia university psychologists indicate. The. research workers, after con ducting a series of 1,000 tests with hidden cards, said, even the average man or woman had some sort of mental prompting which tended to bring forth higher-than-chance guess work on the part of some at the subjects. “Something other than chance is at work,” psychologists said, but offered no Cpinion as to what the extra-chance factor might be. In every test the cards were shuf fled and set out of range of sight and hearing, and in about half of the tests the subjects were a quar ter of a mile away. The records indicate, contrary to chance expectation, that there is a definite relation between the scores of some of the sets of cards. Con trol series and statistical analysis suggests that something other than chance is at work. ThCre are sev eral phases of the distributions of the-date which are difficult to inter pret and it is considered wise to ,con tinue the experiment, using new sub jects as well as continuing with the old.

The old window shades were painted a soft, clear green. The backs and seats of the chairs were slip-cov ered with the chintz with green bindings, and a set of green and yellow china was brought out to lend color to the walls and add a note of interest on green painted stands in front of the windows.

The Republican Party And The War Issue. " The platform of the Republican party is relatively of no interest or I consequence save as it reflects that party’s attitude toward prepared ness and tbe issue of war.. Iu'respect to these vital questions it is sound and satisfactory and in consonance with dominant Ameri can sentiment. The party commits itself to what ever degree of preparedness may be judged to be essential in order fully and adequately to protect tbe con tinent of America and to fulfill our government’s obligations imposed by the Monroe Doctrine. That keeps tbe United States tied to the post insofar as the Western Hemisphere is concerned. As to the issue of war, the plat form is isolationist insofar us car rying belligerency outside of Amet- ca’s territorial interests, and inter ventionist insofar as involving the nation in a war that may be car ried. to this hemisphere. Sucb, we reiterate, seems to ns to be wholly in keeping with the development of public sentiment in the United States. It accurately states the case of present majority opinion and what this newspaper, believes will contin ue to be tbe popular and prevail ing judgment of our people. The Republicans have thus set the pace for the Democrats. Tqe latter will be unwise to go further in whatever declarations their platform may later contain on these questions. There is, therefore, no comfort for Hitler or the American Hitler ites in the statement of policy ot the Republican party on these is sues. . It was once" feared that the isola tionists .might win the day with" their strict and rigid idea thot A- merica should commit itself to no war until and unless it was brought to continental United States. In the leadership of the Repub lican party, as thete is alsc, In the Democratic, is a school of thought which insists that this should be the final American position and that the Monroe doctrine and all of its implications as well as obli gations should be pitched out of the window in favor of such a pol icy af pacifism. They would like for the United States to keep bands off H itler un til be actually attempts to trespass upon the home front, leaving the interests of France, Holland, and Great Britain which lie in our hem isphere strictly alone. Such a policy, of coarse, would be suicidal to America and become merely an invitation to the FiUfore to carry bis conquest right up to out front doors But such silly isolationist views, were drowned out in the framing ofc.the platform of the Republican party and will suffer the satq£ faite when the Democrats come to frame theirs. Vi- On the issue of war, therefore, these two dominant parties will speak the same Iainguage and her aid to the Hitlerized world the same, threat. Keep out of .this hemisphere, else — : that’s the. American voice, . the American conscience, tbe American will.—Charlotte Observer, ' ism and War. MarM^ Sept. 24* . -T.be Old "Belt .'Tobacco Market," including Winston-Salem, will open i<ej JTjfeiidav, Sept. 24th,-: the Tobacco Association.of tbe United States decided iu its annual business ses sioti at: W hite Sulphur Springs, W Va.' " James T. Booth, . director of sales in’ Winston-Salem, was . very much pleased in obtaining this fa vorable opening date, Xf every religions denomination on earth would take tbe attitude to- ward war that the Quakers take I doubt seriously if there , would be one.fourth the war we are having. For this reason I believe the Quak ers, or Friends, are one of the most remarkable denominations in the world. They absolutely detest war. They preach, teach and warn a. gainst war. It is hard to get a real Quaker to fight: It is absolutely against his religion, his faith, his teaching. If all denominations, creeds and faith, in both Protest, anism and Catholicism, would hate war, teach and preach against it as they should, and absolutely refuse to take up arms and fight, the earth would not be deluged in blood as it is. Don’t call a Quaker a coward be cause be refuses to fight. He is not a coward. The truth is be rea lizes that those who take the sword shall perish with the sword, just as Jesus said, therefore is obeying our Lord when he takes his stand a- gainst war. He is right. W ar is horrible and he knows it. Think of going to battle and slaying man kind by thousands and millions! How on the face of the earth can any human have the heart to do so. How can Christians take up the sword'ahd go forth to fill and slay and Uiake great battlefields red with the life-blood of their fellows? A A Christian's principal is to save life, not destroy it. This the true- hearted Quaker earnestly endeavors to do. One of the most disgusting things on earth is for pteachers, who are supposed to preach and. advocate peace,...love and good will toward men; who are likewise supposed to preach- -Jand " advocate peace, love and good' will toward men; who are likewise supposed to lend men and nation to Christ, and . help souls heavenward, .to .-;tarn; their pulpits into.recruiting stations and preach war instead of the Gospel. This is what m'apv Cf our preachers did during the tybrld War, and are they going to do the same again? We will never have peace as long as ministers and denominations ad vocate war. Never. Look how safe wem ade the world for demo cracy by going to war more than twenty years ago with Germany. Our theme was, “ Make the world safe for Democracy,” and we plung ed into the war. Preachers of all denominations need to pray, preach and teach faithfully against war and. not advocate it W ar gets us nowhere. It is tbe same thing over and over. May God give us mil lions of people in our pulpits ‘.and .pews with the Quaker spirit toward war.—W alter E. Isehouf1 Hidde- nite,. N. C.

O. chief, that Senator Wheeler (D- Mont), was toe only candidate the Democrats could nominate to de feat him, Wiilie said: “ It doesn’t matter who the De mocrats nominate. We are going to win. Wilkie added that he agreed with Lewis that President Roosevelt, should he run for a third term, could not defeat him Wilkie said i t . appeared “ more and more certain” that he would set up a three man control system for his campaign, aboat which he has been conferring with Republi can leaders and other advisers. Prophecy? Johnson county has repudiated liquor stores by a two-to-ooe vote and the leaders of the dry move ment in the State, with their bats in the air and chests poked ont, are wondering if time has not come to make their contemplated drive for a complete elimination of the ABC’s. W hatever other interpretations are to be placed on the reverse ac tion of the voters of this large East ern North Carolina county, it is evident from the magnitude of the vote against legalized stores that the people have dramatically chang ed their views and positions on this issue." W hether . that is true in other counties having experimented with legal as against illegal liquor— which is about the proper way to state it—is open to question, .but the Urys have abundant reason for suspecting the first surges of a‘tidal wave in the heavy, decision of the Johnstonians against tbe state stores —Charlotte Observer.

You must inherit it or marry it. I—” "Don’t speak that way of money,” Gay said, her voice sharpened by weariness, by a consciousness of the distance widening between them. "We’ve all lost a great deal and are likely to lose more.” “I’ve learned that. Your friend, Connie Belmont, told me that her family are ‘practically paupers.’ ” “It seems so in comparison with what they’ve had. Mother, Robert, Dad—They feel that their world is changing, that in their life-time, per haps, things will never be as they have been. Oh, why do we talk of it? They, my friends, who were here tonight, aren’t important.” She moved close to him and put her hand in his. “We’re here together. It’s Christmas Eve. Let’s forget them.” His fingers closed around her hand but the pressure was negligent. "They are important. You defend them. You were afraid they wouldn’t accept me.” "I was afraid for you, not for myself.” “Is that true? Would you be con tent to go away with me and never see any of them again?” “Yes, oh, yes!” “You think so now. But in a lit tle while, when being with me isn’t a novelty any longer, when I'd be at work and you’d have nothing to amuse you—” “You have no confidence in me. You still resent me. How can I convince you?” “Forgive me, Gay. I’m sorry.” His arms went around her, drew her close to him. His lips followed the curve of her cheek to her lips. She clung to him, conscious of a sort of desperation in the embrace, more of fear than of passion or tenderness. Gay laid down her crumpled square of heavy damask as Burton, at a signal from Aunt Flora, stepped behind her aunt’s chair. The gentlemen rose as the ladies left the table. Gay glanced at John, standing very stiffly beside his chair at Aunt Flora’s right. She smiled and his face brightened. She felt him watching her a little forlornly as she, with her aunts and cousins, followed Aunt Flora’s measured steps out of the dining-room, as stud ied as when, wearing the traditional train and three feathers, she had walked along a strip of carpet which led to a throne. Aunt Flora sat on the love-seat before the fire and Ernest, the foot man, set a tray with the coffee serv ice on a table before her. Aunt Lucy, Uncle James’ wife, her fad ing prettiness extinguished by wine- colored satin and the jewels she wore, sat in a chair at the opposite side of the marble hearth. The younger women, Elsa Lancaster, ;Aunt Flora’s daughter, Muriel Von jSteedham, her daughter-in-law; Mar garet Newland, Aunt Lucy’s married !daughter, and Janht Graham, her unmarried daughter, grouped them selves, respectfully or resentfully, around the room. Gay stood in the curve of the small piano, resigning herself to the half hour of boredom which was Aunt Flora’s tribute to tradition. I “Millicent and Grace were unable to be with us today.” Aunt Flora’s diamonds flashed as she poured cof fee into porcelain cups set in cases of filigreed silver. "Grace has a touch of neuritis.” 1 “The weather has been so change able,” Aunt Lucy contributed bright ly-Gay glanced at Kate, seated in a chair a Uttle removed from the group about the fire. Kate’s eyebrow Iift- i ed and her glance, meeting Gay’s, twinkled with derisive humor. Aunt Flora had not invited Cousin Milli cent and Cousin Grace, two elderly and impoverished spinsters who were, ordinarily, present at family gatherings. She hadn’t long to wait. “Well, Gay,” Aunt Flora said, as Ernest left the room. “I suppose you won’t mind telling us your plans.” Gay felt the sudden hush that fell upon the room, felt her aunts and cousins watching her, though no one, except'Aunt Flora, who had asked the question and young Janet, who admired her, looked at her directly. She felt a familiar resentment, an emotion which extended far back through adolescence to her turbulent childhood. She felt exactly as she had felt then, but she was too old for tantrums now. "I have no definite plans,” she said quietly. Aunt Flora looked at her in si lence. Then, “You mean that you prefer not to discuss them with us,” she said with dignify which scorned irritation, though irritation prickled in her voice. “Why should she?” Janet asked warmly. She was fifteen, tall and with the same awkward grace that Gay herself had had at that age. Janet was going to be the Graham beauty of her decade, Gay thought, amused and touched by her young cousin’s eager partisanship. She had bright brown curls that foamed over her head, peach-colored skin, eyes as green and translucent as emer alds fringed with brown lashes tipped with gold. “Why should Gay hash over everything, if she doesn’t want to? I mean, it’s her business. Good heavens!” “Really, Mother—” Margaret’s flower blue eyes were reproachful. “Janet, dear,” Aunt Lucy said im ploringly. Aunt Flora’s glance moved from Janet to Gay. There, see what an influence you have, the glance said, but the words she spoke were more conciliating. “We’re only trying to help you,” she said. “I won’t pre tend that it all hasn’t been very painful and embarrassing, but the thing to do now is to help you all we can. There’s no doubt, of course, that we can do a great deal to estab lish Dr. Houghton in New York. If people know that your father’s fam ily is—” “Excuse me, Aunt Flora.” Gay’s voice was steady, a little remote. “I’m sorry to interrupt but you have been misinformed. John has no intention of locating here.” “Where, then?” Aunt Flora asked. “Certainly he doesn’t intend to re main in Maine. Any practice that he might establish there would, nec essarily, be limited. And frankly, Gabriella, I can’t see you living in Maine.” “John is a scientist,” Gay said patiently. "That is, he hopes to be. He has no intention of establish ing a private practice anywhere.” “But I thought—” “Yes, he is assisting a Dr. Sar- geant in general practice now, but that is a temporary arrangement.” “And after that—” “I really don’t know, Aunt Flora.” “But what are we to tell people?” A flush suffused Mrs. Von Steed- ham’s handsome features and irri tation sharpened her voice. “Must you tell them anything?” “That’s what I say,” young Janet broke in. “Why must you explain what’s purely and simply Gay’s business, to a lot of old moss-backs who think Victoria is still the Queen of England. What does it matter who Gay marries as long as it suits her, that’s what I’d like to know?” “Janet!” Aunt Lucy wailed help lessly. “I can hardly expect you not to be obstinate, Gabriella,” Aunt Flora said. “You’ve been that since the day you were bom, but I do expect you to show us a little considera tion. After all we’ve gone through.” She paused. “I know, Aunt Flora.” Gay’s eyes lifted. “I’m truly sorry, as I have told you before, not that it hap pened, but that you should have had to suffer for something which wasn’t your fault.” Her aunt’s expression softened. “Then you’ll understand that we don’t want to interfere, but to help you,” she said more gently. “We think it would be wise for you to persuade Dr. Houghton to establish a practice in New York. He’s had excellent training, I understand, and shows great promise. With the fam ily influence behind him, he might go far.” “He’s really very attractive.” Elsa Lancaster’s bright competent glance moved around the circle, rested with especial brightness upon Gay. “If he gets the right start, I shouldn’t wonder if he’d be popular, socially as well as professionally.” “I think he’s swell,” Janet said defensively. . “I like strong silent men.” “He has a pleasant voice.” Murid lifted eyes like brown pansies from contemplation of her slender white hand. “I think it’s important that a doctor should have a pleasant voice.” “Such a sweet mouth,” Aunt Lucy said. “I suppose that sounds odd in speaking of a man,” die added, as though she expected to be con tradicted, “but it is. I don’t think that a young man with a mouth'like that could be any of the things—” She faltered, flushing. “Could be other than Mnd and—sincere,” she finished in some confusion. “And being Dr. Lawrence’s neph ew is an asset,” Aunt Flora said. “It isn’t as though he’s just some body Gay happened to meet some where. After all, Dr. Lawrence was Gay’s god-father, though I could never quite understand why David was so fond of him.” Gay looked at Kate, who was look ing at her. As their glances met. Kate smiled. The smile widened into an encouraging grin. Gay laughed. “What’s so funny?” Elsa Lancas ter asked. “You are, all of you. I’m sorry, Atmt Flora,” she added, seeing her aunt’s face assume an offended ex pression. “You’re talking about John exactly as you would speak of a servant you were considering engaging. You’re right. He has ex cellent references, but he isn’t look ing for a job.” Tlie sun-burst of diamonds on Aunt Flora’s bosom glittered as she drew herself erect. “I don’t see what cause we’ve given you to take that attitude, Gabriella. We’re merely trying to help you.” “I appreciate your intentions,” Gay said. “I know that it seems im portant to you to whitewash a scan dal. But John and I aren’t having any, thank you.” “You have no sense of responsi bility toward your family. It’s only to be expected, I suppose. Your mother—” - “Leave Mother out of this, if you please. She, at least, has some re spect for personal independence.” “But have you never heard of conduct?” "I think I’m conducting myself very well.” Gay made an effort to Aunt Flora looked at her in silence. control her temper, rising now, flushing her cheeks, giving warmth to her voice, quickening her breath ing. “I brought John here today be cause I—we—want to show you all deference and consideration. But you aren’t going to arrange our lives for us. John will make his own decisions and I will accept them.” She made a half-tum toward the door. “And now if you will excuse me—” Mrs. Von Steedham stayed her with a peremptory gesture. “Some thing must be decided,” she said, insistently. “We can’t go on like this, making excuses, trying to ex plain—” Sie waited a moment, then, abandoning high-handed methods, “What are we to tell people?” she cried despairingly. “Tell them, as you have been telling me, that I am my mother’s daughter,” Gay said and, holding her head very high, she went out of the room. John stood beside the chair in which he had been seated while Gay’s Uncle James, his two sons, James and Andrew, handsome Dirk Von Steedbam and Reginald Lan caster, filed out of the study. The door closed. David Graham seated himself in his chair beside the hearth. - “Sit down, John,” he said. John sat in the chair at the oppo site side of the hearth. He had felt fairly confident while the others were there, but now that he was alone with David Graham, con straint locked his jaws and made a vacuum of bis mind. - The butler closed the door. David Graham cleared his throat. “Gay tells me that you must re turn to Maine tomorrow night,” he said. “Yes, sir.” “You’re located in Portland?” "In Portland. Yes, sir. At pres ent.” John glanced at David Gra ham and was surprised, almost shocked, to discover that he, too, felt a certain amount of constraint. His blue-gray eyes regarded him, John, kindly but with diffidence through the lenses of Oxford glasses which sat with scholarly dignify , upon, the bridge of his salient nose. “I suppose I owe you an apology, sir,” John said hesitantly, wanting for David Graham’s sake, as well as his own, to get on with the inter*, view and have it over. The older man appeared to be as embarrassed as he, John, felt. He sat forward in his chair, bis tall well-groomed fig ure fixed in an uneasy attitude. “For falling in love with my daughter?” A twinkle of humor shone through the lenses of the Ox ford glasses. “I should have ex pected you to apologiz'fe if you hadn’t.” The twinkle in the gray-blue eyes was reassuring. John realized, gratefully, that Gay’s father, what ever embarrassment he suffered, bore no resentment against him. The constraint lessened a little. David Graham leaned back in his chair. John lit a cigarette. “I meant an apology for my share in the great deal of—unpleasant ness,” he said, smiling. “It’s a pleasure to meet someone who employs the use of understate ment." Gay’s father returned the smile. “The only apology you owe me, personally," he went on, “is for making me rush home from Lon don before I’d had a chance to bid on a painting I very much wanted.” “I’m sorry about that, sir.” John was beginning to understand the life-long friendship between this man and his Uncle John. He even felt that he understood why Kitty Schuy ler, at eighteen, had married him. “Perhaps it is I who owe you an apology," David Graham said, pres ently. “Gay calls my attention to the fact that I, originally, was at fault. I invited Jolm Lawrence to be ber god-father. Of course I had no idea that the nephew he spoke of so often was going to grow up into a menace, or I should have made other arrangements.” “Gay has told you,” John said, “that our meeting at the cabin was not. pre-arranged? ” “But it was pre-arranged, wasn’t it? Yes, Gay has told me. I refer to the arrangement John Lawrence made. No one ever suspected him of his genius for pulling strings. He had it, though, to a remarkable de gree. I remember when we were in college—” He went on to speak of John’s un cle who bad been his friend, quietly, appreciatively, in a pleasant, un hurried voice. The anecdote he told was familiar to John. Though he gave the appearance of listening in tently, his mind was occupied with the task of fitting together from what he had heard of him, from what he had observed, a clear un derstanding of Gay’s father. As he thought of her, he heard her voice. “Are you getting along, you two?” “Splendidly," her fattier said. "Have you been telling John dis graceful episodes in my past?” She came toward them, walking quicMy and lightly through a shaft of sun light, touched John’s arm in pass ing, went to sit on the arm of ber father’s chair. “The young are self-centered,” David Graham said. “No, my dear. I’ve been talking about the days when I was young and not so hand some. I’ve enjoyed it but John hag probably been bored.” “Not at all, sir.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Stabilization of Roads Saves Moitorists Money Increased safety and lower costs, both to the motorist and in high way maintenance, are obtained, through the stabilization of gravel roads, says Associate Professor Roy S. Swinton.of the University of Micb-, igan department of engineering re search. In a survey of wear on several Michigan highways Profes sor Swinton discovered that stabili zation saved about two-thirds of the material losses which are So great on loose, untreated gravel roads. Stabilization consists of the use of proper mixtures of soil, moisture and chemicals in road construction. In Professor Swinton’s survey, begun in 1933, extensive add con tinued examinations were made of gravel roads in five Michigan coun ties. About 100,000 wear readings were made on these five road sec tions. While a saving of more than 60 per cent was made on stabilized roads, Professor Swinton found, other roads receiving surface treat- ment with calcium chloride had only about one-half as ’much material loss as the untreated roads. The cost of road stabilization, says Professor Swinton, is little or ne greater than the maintenance cost of untreated roads Where the loss of materials is so much greater. Bi addition he points out, the stabilized road is much safer because it is du9 tless and has no loose surface, and at the same time allows greater speeds which may-be counted as a . saving for the motorist.

Job found it to be so. As long as he and his friends concentrated their attention on his person and his troubles, they only became more deeply involved in confusion and doubt. Much of their discussion was on a high moral and philosophical plane, and they were all doubtless earnest and capable men, but in the end Job learned, and they learned through him, that the real difficulty was that they did not know God. Then God Himself appeared and brought before Job a panorama of the glorious works of God and His bless ings upon mankind (chaps. 38-41). VJnere was Job when the world was created (38:4)? Who holds the world together (38:6)? What is the origin of light (38:19)? What about, the glory of the snowfiake (38:22)? Job is told to consider the hand of God in tte animal kingdom (chap. 39) and upon those that dwell in the sea (chap. 41). It dawned upon Job that he had been arguing against the providences of the all-knowing and all-powerful One—the eternal God. In that conviction and the repent ance which it brought forth, he ex perienced— I. Renewed Fellowship (w . 1-6). Job came to the realization that he had not really known God Him self until now. His religious experi ences and convictions hitherto, pre cious and important as they were, had been by "the hearing of the ear,” but now he had met God and all was changed. Fellowship with the Lord was renewed, but on an infinitely higher plane. Job had a real revival in his life which caused him to “abhor” everything Hiat he had said and done; yes, even to set himself aside and to take God to be all and in all. Our churches are full of people who only know God by hearsay. They have heard about Jesus Christ since their childhood, but they have never met Him. They have read of the Holy Spirit, but they have never known His power. We need a God- sent revival, one like those of the past which “have broken out like fire . . . consuming dead and out worn systems, burning sin like a roaring flame, and casting a new light across men’s pathways” (E. L. Douglass). II. Restored Usefulness (w . 7- 10 a).God's rebuke of Job’s friends is significant, for it centers, not in their failure to deal rightly with Job, but their failure properly to represent God. It is a tremendous ly serious matter to attempt to tell others about God, for in doing so we must not in any way misrepre sent Him. To stand before men as, religious teachers and leaders and not to know Him so well that we rep resent Him rightly, is to invite His judgment and condemnation. Job, on the other hand, was re stored to a place of honor and use- ' fulness. His friends, who thought , they knew so much more than he ' about God, are told to ask Job to pray for them. He thus was af forded the opportunity of returning good for evil and was again enabled to serve God in serving his. fellow men. Salvation is by faith (Eph. I 2:8, 9); but being saved, we are re- | stored to the place of usefulness to God. III. Returned Frosperity (w . IOt- 13). The abundant blessing of God upon Job is described in oriental ' terms of money, herds of cattle, and ! of a large family. These are the tangible evidences of God’s bless ing, and even to us today they speak of a liberal and loving God. God can and does prosper His own obedi ent children even in material things. Such outward mercies, however, only feebly represent the blessings of the soul, the ultimate and eternal joys of the spirit. They point us, it is true, to the assurance that as we yield ourselves in uncondition al obedience to God’s will, we may confidently trust Him with the dark days of sorrow and affliction, as well as the days of sunshine and pros perity. No matter how tangled may seem the threads on this side of the loom, we know that the heavenly Father behind the scenes is weav ing the pattern of beauty which shall one day be revealed as we stand complete in Christ. Death of Saul So Saul died for his transgression which he transmitted against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had . a familiar spirit, to enquire of it.—I Chronicles 10:13.

Nominee Told in Pictures to L41 Sio By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) EVER since Cecil B. DeMille used bathtubs as an aide in making his heroines more glam orous our screen players have showered and scrubbed before the camera, with due discretion. Remember Joan Crawford’s bubble bath in “The Women”? That was one of the screen’s most elegant bathing bits, in re cent years. But in “The Howards of Virginia” Cary Grant takes a bath that may get him into trouble with the his torians, though if it does nobody will be to blame. “The Howards of Virginia,” you’ll recall, is based on that popular book, "The Tree of Liberty.” The author, Elizabeth Page, did exten sive research for it; Producer-Direc- Ior Frank Lloyd had experts at work for months before a camera turned. But—the author wrote a scene in which the hero takes a bath in Haleigh tavern, at Williamsburg, Va. The first regulation bathtub was not brought to America until several years after the story takes place. Research failed to uncover anything in bathtub styles current for the period; in fact, the general impression seemed to be that the male gentry performed such ablu tions in the Potomac river. So Lloyd I^ed his imagination, and decreed that Cary Grant should take his bath in a round wooden tub; maybe that’s not according to Hoyle, historically, but it’s the best he could do. Motion Pictare Director Sam Wood took the European war by the horns recently and forbade the presence of radios on the set for “Rangers of Fortune.” “I had to do something,” he said. “The play ers had five radios on the set and did nothmg but talk of the war. Now I* 4 f H r i f-* 1»*^ & Kinilcrgartners Wear Gas Masks at Play PATRICIA MORISON ue ‘-pcnd live minutes at 10 o’clock in the morning and 'at four in the afternoon listening to war bulletins, . and that’s all.” Patricia I.Ioiison, v.i 0 I as a fea- I lured role, agreed quite wilhrgly, ' 11inugh she ha, Iu0 cousirs fighting with the royal air foicc, and it's a long time between ten and four. Describing his gift as “(he least Wc can do in these troubled times,” Frederic March recently purchased and presented to the American Red Cross, for use in Europe, a com pletely equipped ambulance. He and Mrs. March were asked to par ticipate in a benefit, but he was un able to do so because of his work in Paramount's “Victory.” Ile said that he thought the ambulance would be more welcome than their ap pearance. When a radio program comes on the air with its studio audience laughing, somebody has worked hard to get just that effect. Fibber McGee has an old-fashioned watch which dangles from his vest pock et. With 85 seconds before the broadcast he checks the time anx iously with the control room; with one second to go, Fibber nonchalant ly says, “Oh, shucks, we got lots of time,” tosses the watch over the footlights into the audience, and they roar with laughter.

You can arrange for tickets at the West- inghonse building at the New York World’s fair; if yon can’t get over to Radio City, you can listen to it as a special rebroadcast from the 120 -feet-high Singing Cascades.

Rabbit Foundlings Adopted by Spitz Fighting Pilots “Doing nicely, thsuik you!” is probably what Tootsie, eight-year-old Spitz, would say if she could, concerning these six wild rabbits she found in the back yard of her mistress, Mrs. Valeria Lewis of Washington, D.

PATTERSON WENDELL L. WILLKIE For Prendent CHARLES L. McNARY For Vice President With that ticket the Republi cans tell us they named the best qualified men in America to direct the destinies of the na tion through the time of stress and trials they think lie ahead. They were picked from a wide field. A dozen or more men each with followers who believed their favorite was the best; who insisted they would stick to their candidate forever if necessary; who could see no possible vir tue in any other candidate. The delegates were divided be tween Dewey, Vandenberg, Taft, Willkie, James, Bridges,' Bricker, Martin, Hoover, MacNider, Gannett and others. Speeches were made about all of them, resulting in long hours of fren zied oratory. All were pictured as the one, outstanding, great American leader, eminently best fitted for the great job, and especially so for these times, but in the end they dropped out one by one, and until on the sixth roll call of the states Wendell Willkie was named to head the ticket. After numerous consultations, some arguments, and another flow of oratory Charles L. McNary was named for second place, and the big Tieeting was over. When at 10 o’clock on Monday morning, June 24, John Hamilton, as chairman of the Republican na tional committee, pounded the table and called the Republican national convention to order, anyone could get a bet for or against as he wished on anyone of 10 to 12 can didates. It was not only the folks back home who did not know who the candidate would be. The delegates at Philadelphia were equally igno rant on that subject. On Sunday evening Congressman Joe Martin was asked how many Massachusetts delegates would vote for him on the first ballot, as the favorite son of that state. He replied he did not know defi nitely that any one delegate would vote for him; that aside from the delegations that were definitely in structed it was impossible to tell who would vote for whom. PaTty in New Hands. And the reason for it all is that the party was in new hands, the hands of a thousand delegates, each one a law into himself. Goiie from the places of power were the older statesmen of former years, the party leaders who could crack the whip and make the delegates dance. It was a new element, younger in political experience, each one of whom believed he was there to do a job as he thought it should be done, or until someone had actually con vinced him of a better way than his own. It all resulted in a confusion that was unknown to former Republican conventions, but out of that confu sion, the Republicans say, has come definite party unity both as to poli cies and as to leaders. The dele gates claim they did what they be lieved best, and not what anyone told them to do. It was a picturesque gathering. There was with it all ballyhoo of a street carnival. Each group had its own pet form of expressing approval of either a candidate or a policy. The Dewey, the Taft, and the Willkie voters put on the best and noisiest show. In so far as he could influ ence his followers Senator Vanden berg prevented the introduction of burlesque into his campaign. Dark Horses. Martin and Hoover were in the dark horse class and were not much talked about until after the opening of the convention. Others were among the “also ran" entries with not a sufficiently large following to produce much noise. One noticeable difference between this and the Republican conventions of some years ago was the scarcity of Negro delegates. There were some from the southern states—not so many because of the limited dele gate representation from the South, but practically none from the north ern cities. New party leaders in sisted the difference was due to a transfer of political allegiance on the part of the northern Negroes from the Republican to the Democratic party. Whatever the reason may WENDELL L. WILLKIE have been the Negroes were not in evidence as they have been at pre vious Republican gatherings. Another difference was the discus sion in committees of every plank in the platform, and every incident concerned with party policy. This year each delegate who had an opin ion on any subject insisted on the right and privilege of expressing and fighting for that opinion before the committee. The whole show was more like a big town meeting than an old time Republican convention. It had no bosses who made the rules and defined the policies. Aside from the balloting for candi dates, the long roll call of the states, and the reading of the plank in the platform defining Republican policy as regards America’s attitude to ward the war in Europe, the two outstanding events were the keynote address of Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota and the address of Former President Herbert Hoover. Governor Stassen was emphatic, and fiery in his denunciation of the present national administration and of all things connected with the New Deal. He aroused tremendous en thusiasm as a keynoter is expected to do, and gave the delegates the ammunitions they wanted for use during the campaign. He was com pensated for his efforts by thunder ous applause and demonstrations. HooVd/ Stirs Delegates, Former President Hoover, with his analysis of what he termed New Deal falacies, carried the conven tion by storm as he did at Cleve land four years ago and received an ovation that was unusual in any Re publican gathering. He might have been the choice of the convention as its presidential candidate had he not withdrawn his name. He could CHARLES L. McNARX have named the candidate by indi cating a choice, but refused to do so. Each one of the 1,000 delegates took a hand in the platform build ing, and especially the plank cov ering war and preparedness. The battle between the “Fight Hitler Now” forces and the extreme Henry Ford type of isolationist was fast, furious, and seemingly never end ing. In the end the fight did not get to the floor of the convention. Compromise was effected and the plank as finally adopted can be in terpreted ,to mean anything each voter may want it to mean. Compact Platform. Other platform planks followed very closely the findings of the Glenn Frank committee, but expressed in-about 3,000 words instead of the 37,000 Dr. Frank and his as sociates needed.On one subject there was no dis agreement—“There shall be no third term.”All in all the Republican conven tion, of 1940 was a colorful and in teresting show—and very, very, dif ferent. The old leadership was gone, the game was being played by a new team and umpires had not been named. The result, for a time, was confusion with each delegate his own boss, taking orders from no one, and fully convinced that he had the solution of all the nation’s prob lems. Out of it all in the end came har mony, everybody satisfied, includ ing the defeated candidates for the nomination. AU of the noisUy con tending forces climbed onto the Will- kie bandwagon and returned home with the usual assurance of victory in November. How weU that assur ance may be justified wiU not be known until the votes are counted in November. ‘Small Town Boy Makes Good’ Tells Story of W illkie’s Life By HAROLD E. KENTON Three months ago he was virtual ly unknown to the American pubUc. Today he is the presidential nomi nee of the RepubUcan party and sage pofiticEd prophets are predict ing that on January I, 1941, he wfll be in the White House. That is the saga of WendeU L. Willkie. His feat of sweeping into the Philadelphia convention without poUtical sponsors and taking the prize away from seasoned poUtical rivals is unprecedented. . Who is this man Willkie? What is he like? What has he done? Briefly, his story is the tale of a smaU town boy who made good— who was never afraid to try his wings on a new Sight. In the 48 ydprs of his life WUlkie has had a wide training in the Amer ican way of life. He knows every section of the country. He did farm work as a lad in In diana and later sold newspapers. A few years later he harvested wheat in Minnesota. He worked in .the oU fields of Texas. He ran a cement block machine in Wyoming and op erated a Uttle hotel in Colorado. He was a vegetable picker in Califor nia. He taught school in Kansas and is remembered there.During aU his experience in labor ing at various jobs, he found time to attend Indiana university and to graduate with high honors. WendeU Willkie was bom in El- wood, Ind., in 1892, the son of Her man Francis Willkie, a lawyer. His paternal grandfather was an emi grant from Prussia who speUed his name WiUcke. He came to America to escape the oppression of the Ho- henzoUems. WendeU’s mother, like his father, was a lawyer. Both par ents beUeved in education for their children. At home as weU as in Jottings From a Crowded Convention Notebook C F or the first time in the history of the RepubUcan party, a woman was named as assistant sergeant at arms at the Philadelphia conven tion. She was Mary Berkmeier Quinn, Chicago attorney, who has been active in the party’s work in Illinois. C The Taft headquarters had the biggest telephone, set-up at the con vention with 120 trunk lines. CPoUtical convention feet differ from World’s fair feet, an expert reported. “At a World’s fair,” he said, “your feet get tired. At a con vention they just wear out up to the garter line.” C Philadelphia’s ancient Mummer’s parade, ordinarily held on New Year’s day, was staged during the convention. An aU-male affair, it was a colorful spectacle. the school room he absorbed learn ing. By the time he was 15 years old he had finished high school and •was able to matriculate at Indiana university. ■ WhUe there he earned most of the funds that kept him. Sometimes jobs around the univer sity were scarce and young Willkie had tough sledding. His parents were never able to give him much financial backing and there were times when he had to leave coUege and work elsewhere. Back again in coUege, Willkie was able to attend long enough to get his degree. CoUege days over, he returned to Elwood and entered into law prac tice with his father. Then America entered the World war. Within a week Willkie enlisted in the army. He spent 22 months in service, 11 of which were in France. Before he sailed on January 14, 1918, he mar ried his Hoosier sweetheart, Miss Edith Wilk. They have one son. Back in America in 1919, Willkie resumed his law practice. He moved to Akron, Ohio, and practiced there for nearly a decade. His unusual legal talents gained steady recog nition. In 1929 he became legal ad viser of the Commonwealth & South ern UtUity company and by 1933 its president. Willkie’s debates with government spokesmen established him as an articulate and able spokesman for business. He began to be in demand as a speaker. Some of his intimates began to say he might be presi dential timber. Several newspaper columnists took up the idea. Then a few weeks ago a smaU group in New York began sending out litera- ture about him. He received thou sands of requests to speak. Willkie clubs sprang up from coast to coast. The boom caught on. Physically Willkie is impressive. He is 6 feet I inch taU and weighs over 200 pounds. He is a friendly man who has. Uie ability to make people in aU stations of life like him. Blue eyed, with dark hair he has a commanding presence. He likes- a fight when a principle is involved. But this does not mean he is pugna cious. Some of those who know him compare him to the late Will Rogers who “never met a man he didn’t like.” And he has the quality of making the people like him, regard less of what station in life they oc cupy.

He says be has been in the front line trenches, and that it wll| not take long to lick the Huns when the boys get started. money and pull the strings in Pres idential campaigns. It would be silly to assume that the Republicans will be caught nap. ping when these questions are la ter pushed into the face of their candidate. They realize before the nomina tion where the point of attack would come from the opposition party. They knew it would be right here —at the tangent of Mr. Willkie’s connection with the Commonwealth and Southern of which be has been president. It was while >n charge of this widely flung utilities corporation that Mr. WiIIkie challenged the Administration, criticized its power policies, condemned it for holding punitive and malicious designs a gainst this private enterprise, and it was because of his sourness to ward this phase of New Deal acti. vities that he turned over from be ing a Democrat into the Republi can fold. The most dramatic fight, he made during this period and that, by the way, which we contend was the episode that finally informed the people of the United States there was such a creature in it as Wen dell Willkie, was when the Federal government undertook to buy the interests of the Commonwealth and Southern lying within the area of the operations of its own TVA. First offering a meager price for its stock, the government was fin ally compelled to come to Willkie’s terms and to buy at a price almost equal to the one he had first de manded, which was $30 ,000,000 more than had been first offered by the New Deal negotiators. He got $78,600,000 to be exact. Naturally, therefore, the Demo crats hope and expect that bis grea test weakness and vulnerability will lie at this point when the forensics of the campaign get under way— in Willkie’s identity with the Spec cial Interests, in his affiliation with the “ power trust” which the New Deal has tried to make-the Ameri. can people believe to be utterly ini quitous. But we hold to the notion that Mr. Willkie will have all the an swers ready for all the questions with which he will be bombarded on this score ann will probably take better than good account of him' self. Instead of coming back with cat egorical answers, he may choose the equally effective method of ask ing a few on his own account. For example, he might inquire of the Elemocrats who assault him at this point, if he, as former pre» ident of'Commonwealth and South ern, is to be held up to scorn and calumny before the American peo ple as one of unclean hands, why it is that Henry L. Stimson, who was his attorney in the fight made by-his company against the New Deal, should be considerrd so itn maculate as to be worthy of being called by the President into his cabinet? You can clearly see that the Pre sidential campaign this year is go ing to be resoundingly a humding< er for glamour and excitement when the rousements goon. Facing The Facts Of Defense. In any sound defense program; the heavy responsibility of provid ing adequate arms and supplies must fall upon industry. It is no wonder, therefore, that the public is turning these days toward in dustry’s leaders, anxious for their views on this number one problem. It is encouraging, on this ac count, to hear W. H. Prentis, Jr., who because of the fact that he heads the National Association of Manufacturers expresses tbe atti tude and tbe experience ot thous ands of industrialists, declare. “Just as American manufacturers have excelled the world in mass production for peace, they can also surplus the world in its use for de fense.” Mr. Prentis, however, adds a note of warning that should also be heeded. He points out that vast appropriations are not enough. We must have speed and surety on the part of government in deciding what it needed. And we must have a reasonable attitude— “ It will be damaging to real de fense, disappointing to the nation, and unfair to industry,” he warns, “ to expect thousands of airplanes and tanks to roll off production lines in a week or two. Produc tion lines of that magnitude simply do not exiss in America today. You can’t 'appropriate’ a battleship, a tank, or an airplane—you can only appropriate the money.” Mr. Prentis drives home another point with needed force when he reminds us that physical defense is not enough.” “ The American people must re arm themselves spiritually and men tally- They must rededicate them , selves to the institutions and the high principles they are preparing to defend. They must recognize that there is no substitute for per sonal toil and sacrifice and devo tion. Only by firm adberance to our traditional American ideals, coupled with adequate militaiy de feGce, can we be sure that the ter rible price the democracies abroad are now paying will not be exacted from us.” Surelv all American unite in the hope and the prayer that similar clear-headedness, similar under standing of our needs, will exist in the same measure in the minds of the responsible leaders of other groups in oar nation? — Wilkes Journal.

McNeill said he appreciated the enthusiastic efforts of home tolks in a celebration devoted to a parade of progress of Wilkes county and North Wilkesboro and that he tho roughly enjoyed the celebration and the historical pageant. Commenting on his campaign for governor, McNeill said: “ I pro test at the assumption all over North Carolina, especially by newspaper men! that Mr. Broughton is just as good as elected governor. Repub licaus have carried North Carolina three times since the Civil W ar and 1940 is going to be the fourth tim e.” —Wi’kes Patriot. “Public Imagination.” Alf Laridon, whose campaign ap. praisal of his own prospects four vears ago was considerably off bal ance when measured by the results, tells Wendell Wilkie “ There is no doubt you have caught tbe imagi nation of the American people.” Which probably is correct, but Mr. Wilkie would feel a lot easier about it he knew that “imagina. tion” certainly would be translated into “ favor.” And if he is wise he will so conduct his campaign that the people will not be left to their imaginings. And we believe he will There is no side-stepping the fact that Wilkie has what it takes to go places and do things, and certainly he cannot complain with tbe favor able publicity that has been given him, before his nomination and since. A campaign of telegrams financed by tho power concerns may helped him at Philadelphia, but telegrams were not all of the story. Much of bis convention popularity was spontaneous, and a lot of it came from the grass roots and no no small part was due to the build up by the columnists who delight ed in taking Wilkie under their wing. Somenrhere in their Dublic ap proach candidates for office reaches zenith from which they usually de scend. Did Wilkie reach his des cent. Did Wilkie reach his at Philadelphia, and will descent be marked from there? Much depends on tbe candidate himself. Senator McNary gave him some good ad. vice when he suggested that Wilkie cut out the wisecracks. By ad dressing himsely seriously to tbe issues as he sees them and by re training from the knock-down-and- drag-out tactics that would' be all out of place in this national emer gency, he may continue to rise in favor instead' of decline. But .Wilkie must not count as an asset the suoport of such guys as General Ironpants Johnson, for , we are persuaded that more voters, will be influenced adversely by this Gen. erals outburst of enthusiasm than will be gained for Wilkie thereby.

Robert Pershing Wadlow, 22, of Alton, III., who visited MocksviKe last year, is dead. H e died on tbe 15th of July, at Manistee, Mich. Young Wadlow, who weighed 491 pounds, died of complications following a foot infection, which resulted from the chafing of an an kle brace. On July 4, he suffered a foot injury while appearing at Manistee professionally ' as “ the world's tallest man.” Last measurements of Wadlow were taken at a St. Louis, Mo., hospital Joue 27, when doctors said he was 8 feet 10 3 inches tall. Harold F. Wadlow, the young giant's father, said that his son’s body would not be turned over to medical men for scientific investi. gation. Wadlow’s abnormal height, scientists said, was due to an over- active pituitary gland. In all other respects, Wadlow was considered normal. A t Alton high school, he won a scholarship to at tend Bhurtleff College, at Alton. He completed his freshman year. Both of his parents and his two brothers and two sisters were of ’ normal stature. A t birth, Febru ary 22, 191 S, Wadlow weighed 9 pounds. Although he reached 30 pounds av tbe end of six months, his unusual growth was not noticed until he was a year old. A t 18 months he weighed sixty, two pounds. H is favorite dish was ice cream and Ms favorite diversion was trav. el. “ I like to see everything,” he remarked last yenr while visiting Hollywood. Clothes and shoes were Wadlow’s toughest problems. Everything, in- duping neckties and pocket hand kerchiefs, were made to order. An ordinary suit required nine yards of material, and bis shoes were size 39 . Tbe young giant’s onlp other ill ness was a foot infection which confined him to a St. Louis hospital bed for eight weeks in 1935 . He was carried to the hospital on a special stretcher lifted by eight men. “file Record doesn’t pnt on high, pressure subscription contests. Hie price is only $1 per year.

ROUND TABLB DISCUSSION BENEDICTION. WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) XTEW YORK.—Howard Lindsay * needed makeup to play “Life With Father.” Dr. Charles Phillips Cooper, managing editor of the New Ikef-Cw Sf1S aNatural Lead for the turn of *Life With Father' the , JreI tu ry ' could have walked right into the part without taking off his hat. As he retires as professor of journalism at Columbia university, after more than 50 years of practicing and teaching journal ism, he still commands affection and respect-from his one-time proteges, an emotion somehow filial, and somehow belonging in that nostal gic picture which the late Clarence Day. and Mr. Lindsay and Russell Crouse have recreated for the stage. They used to set the type for the old Evening Sun in the local room. Charles A. Dana ordered some lino type machines, found workmen de livering them to the World instead, got into a row about it and said to the devil with the whole business, or words to that effect. At any rate this classic of newspapers for tnany years thereafter kept clear of all technological entanglements, in- • eluding typewriters. • Bii Cooper’s spouting mus tache was electrified during the ordeal of getting out the paper. Reporters used to say it was like sensitive antennae, catching im- - pulses out of the air. This was the only way they could explain his way of spotting a red-hot news story in some bit of trivia, moving across his desk. They called him “The Human Sieve.” That was due to his trick of sifting bugs, libel suits, and slop py writing out of a piece of. copy with a swift slash of his pencil. When a reporter was beaten on a story, or made a serious error, or otherwise offended, Dr. Cooper would clutch both sides of his desk, lean back, close his eyes and howl. And when one of the boys really put something over (it had to be good) Dr. Cooper would croon and duck over him affectionately. He, was always yelling for copy and the beys, if the story was hot, had to write it in short takes. There was always a bliz zard of copy paper loose in the city room. As press time came near there were yells, bleats, running foot-beats and a bed lam which could be heard all up and down Park Row. Out of all this came a paper as cool and neatly fashioned as a daisy in the meadow—human, subtle, civilized and deftly done. The noise, smells of ink, grease and tobacco, and above all, Dr. Cooper’s rip-snorting energies seemed to make a formula for newspaper “oomph.” Dr. Cooper, short and stocky, with his bright brown eyes alert and narrowly focused behind his glasses, joined the Sun staff as a reporter in 1889, after a year with the Hart ford (Conn.). Post. He was with the Sun 24 years as city editor, news editor, assistant managing editor and managing editor. He retired to become a teacher of journalism in 1919. Rounding 74, Dr. Cooper never moans over the good old days, and has no regrets for the passing of personalized journalism. He thinks newspapers of today are doing a better job than their predecessors. Among his colleagues were Arthur Brisbane, Richard Harding Davis, Woodford Patterson, now secretary of Cornell university, Nelson Lloyd, O’Neill Sevier, George Cartaret, Stephen French Whitman, Homer St. Gaudens and a score of other long-remembered names. TT’S a long stretch from Gen. Adna R. Chafee's small-arm Indian- fighting equipment to Brig. Gen. Adna R. Chafee’s new mechanized From 4Boots and Saddles? to 4Man The Gear Shifts’ army corps— a father and son saga. The fath er was one of the greatest Indian fighters in our his tory, battling the Kiowas and Comanches along , the 900-mile trail to the Sierra Madre in New Mexico. The son, schooled in the mounted service, was a cavalryman like his father, but in recent years has spe cialized in studies of mechanized warfare. His new armored divisions are said to be similar in organization to the German panzer units. Army men say , they fill a long-felt need in the service. Brigadier General Chafee was bom at Junction City, Kan., in 1884, and was graduated from West Point in 1906, a few years too late for the Spanish-American and Philippine workouts, but he is a veteran of our later military en gagements in Europe, holding the Distinguished Service Medal and is regarded as a good organizer and fighter—as “boots and saddlesl” changes to “man the gear-shifts I” Your Tax Money Helps U.

This section of the East Base camp pictured above was called “Dog Town” by members of the expedition.

The Eskimo dogs were specially trained for hauling sledges and were re garded as extremely important members of the party.

H ousehold N ew s ENTERTAINING WHEN THE WEATHER’S WARM (See Recipes Below) If the mercury seems likely to pop right through the top of the thermometer, and guests are com ing for dinner, you can still keep cool! Plan your menu to permit as much preparation as possible in the cool er hours of the morning. Remem ber, when you plan the meal, that quality rath er than quantity will please your guests, and that a beautiful, cool, crisp salad will be more appetite-tempting, by far, than all the complicated hot dishes you can name! It’s wise, of course, to include one hot food in your menu, even though the weather’s torrid. There’s some thing about the contrast of hot foods and cold that makes a meal more pleasant to the taste (and to the digestion, as well). A cup of dear, hot soup, which might be prepared the day before and reheated just before serving, a hot main dish that’s not too hearty or just a hot beverage, if you prefer it, will do the trick. You’ll find menus and tested reci pes for all kinds of summer enter taining in my cook book, “Easy En tertaining.” There are menus (and recipes) for teas, for buffet suppers, children’s parties, and for a wed ding reception, too. Orange-Grape-Pear Salad in Ice- Lined Salad Bowl. (Serves 8) Oranges, pears, grapes — sum mer’s juiciest fruits—in an ice- chilled salad bowl! What a decora tive answer to every cook’s prayer for something tempting to serve on hot weather menus. For a buffet party, serve it in a double bowl with ice to keep the salad chilled to just the right degree. With a sharp knife, peel 8 oranges, removing skin and inner membrane down to juicy meat. Cut in thin even slices. (Cal ifornia oranges are fiml-meated and practically seedless, which makes them es pecially suited to slicing.) Peel and core 4 pears. Cut in slices. Halve and seed 2 cups of grapes. Combine fruits and put in salad bowl, which has been lined with romaine and watercress. These two salad greens incidentally give an interesting color contrast of light and dark green that is refreshing and that may well be used in any salad. Serve with sweet french dressing. Sweet French Dressing. Vi cup lemon juice Vi cup salad oil Vz cup red jelly or honey I teaspoon salt I teaspoon paprika Shake well before serving. The lemon juice gives a flavor to dress ings that is especially good with fruit salads. (Makes 1% cups.) Sparkling Vegetable Soup. (Serves 8) 4 pounds beef shin 2% quarts water 1 tablespoon salt 4 sprigs parsley 2 bay leaves 10 pepper corns 3 whole cloves % cup sliced carrot Vi cup sliced onion Vz cup celery and celery leaves Have bones cracked at the mar ket. Wipe bone and meat with cloth. Remove half the meat from the bone, and cut in 1-inch cubes. Brown the meat on all sides, add bones, remaining meat and water. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Skim, then simmer for 3 to 4 hours, with the lid of the kettle tilted slightly. Strain through sieve lined with cheese cloth, and cool quickly, uncovered. Chill until fat is solid, then remove fat. To clarify the soup, allow I egg white and crushed shell mixed with 2 ta blespoons of cold water, for each quart of stock. Add to cold stock and bring to a boil, stirring con stantly. Remove from heat, add % cup cold water, and let settle until cold. Carefully strain through 4 thicknesses of cheese cloth wrung out of very cold water. Just before serving, add vegeta bles as follows: % cup tomato (cut very fine) % cup carrot (diced fine) % cup new cabbage (cut very fine) % cup celery (cut very fine) 2 % cups water % teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons parsley (minced) Cook tomato, carrot, cabbage and celery in boiling, salted water, just until the vegetables are tender. Strain, and add to hot soup just before serving. Garnish with minced parsley. Waffleized Strawberry Shortcake. 2 cups pastry flour 2 teaspoons baking powder I teaspoon salt I teaspoon sugar 3 eggs—separated IVi cups milk 3 tablespoons melted butter Mix and sift all dry ingredients. Beat egg yolks and add to them the milk and melted butter. Stir liquid mixture into dry ingredients. Fold in stiffly beaten egg white. Bake in hot waffle iron, leaving iron closed until steam no longer escapes between the two halves. Rice Rolls. (Makes 3 dozen) Vz cup cooked rice Vz cup liquid from rice Vi cup milk Vt cup shortening 2 teaspoons salt 6 tablespoons sugar I yeast cake softened in Vi cup lukewarm water I egg (beaten) 5 cups flour Drain the cooked rice thoroughly. Combine Vi cup of the water in which the rice was cooked, with Vi cup milk and scald. Pour over the shortening, salt, and sugar, cool slightly, and add the rice. Combine softened yeast with the beaten egg and add to the cooled milk mixture. Beat in about half of the flour, and mix well. Add remaining flour. Place in greased bowl, grease top of dough slightly and cover the bowl. Allow dough to rise until dou ble in bulk (about Vh hours). Punch down, and let rise again for about 45 minutes. Shape into small balls and place in greased muffin pans. Let rise until double in bulk, then brush with milk. Bake in a mod erately hot oven with the thermo stat set at 400 degrees, for about 20 minutes. Jellied Ham Salad. (Serves 6 ) 2 cups cooked ham (finely ground) Vi cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon sweet pickle (cut fine) 2 whole cloves 1 bay leaf 2 cups water 1 tablespoon granulated unflavored gelatin 2 tablespoons cold water I cup cooked ham (cut in small strips) Combine ground ham, mayonnaise and pickle and blend thoroughly. Chill. Add cloves and bay leaf to water and boil for about S minutes. Then strain. Add gelatin which has been soaked in cold water and stir until dissolved. Chill until mixture begins to thicken; then add nam mixture. Pour' in individual salad molds and chill 2 or 3 hours, or un til set. Unmold on crisp lettuce or watercress, top with mayonnaise and strips of cooked ham and serve very cold. Cheese Cornucopias—Salad Accompaniment. Cheese cornucopias are an unusu al, but delicious, salad accompani ment. Make ordinary pastry as for pie and roll out. Make tiny cornu copias (about 3 inches long) from any stiff paper. Wrap pastry around cornucopia and bake 12 minutes in a hot oven («0 degrees). Remove paper and when cool, fill cornu copias with highly flavored cream cheese. Serve with any salad.

D.Dean oi The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western newspaper Union.) Lesson for July 28 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of ReUgious Education; used by permission. WEIGHING CONSEQUENCES A Principle of Temperate Living' LESSON TEXT—Proverbs 1:7-10; Isaiah 5:11. 12. 18-23; Galatians 6:7-9.GOLDEN TEXT—Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is. and of that which is to come.— I Timothy 4:8. An intelligent approach to life calls for an understanding of prin ciples governing thought and action. Our lesson for today recognizes that every act and thought of man brings consequences, either good or bad. Man himself must make the deci sions of life, and what he sows he must also reap. Matters of crucial importance to modern young people are involved in our lesson. They are asking these days, “Shall I listen to God’s voice, or is that just old-fashioned nonsense? What about obeying par ents? Should I drink intoxicants? ‘Everybody’ does—why should I be different? Of course, I don’t want to be a drunkard or ruin my future life, but I’d like to have ‘my fling’— can’t I have it and still avoid dis astrous consequences?” The answers to these questions are in our lesson. May God help young people to .find the right answers, and enable every teacher to present the truth clearly and ef fectively. I. Safe Counsel (Prov. 1:7-10). No sane person wants to make a fool of himself. He is looking for the right way arid will lend his ear to good counsel. Here it is—“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (R. V., “wisdom”). Fear of God is not a cringing ter ror, but a sincere appreciation of His wisdom and a desire to do His will. The best counselors a boy or girl has are father and mother. Only a fool will pass up the golden oppor tunity of profiting by their experi ences and avoiding their mistakes, and will miss the opportunity of car rying forward their high hopes. Those who fear God and honor their parents will not be misled by the enticement of sinners (v. 10). They just will not “consent,” and that settles it. D. Steps to Ruin (Isa. 5:11, 12, 18-23). Isaiah lived and ministered in a time of prosperity, which led to drunkenness and immorality^ This in time led, as it always does, to the decay and destruction of the na tion. We face similar moral con ditions today. Let us not shut our eyes to the lesson so oft-repeated in history and in false security go on to national ruin. We need outspoken and deter mined opposition in civic, social and religious circles to the liquor traffic and to all the vices that follow in evitably in its train. The portion of our lesson from Isaiah vividly por trays the downward path of the drinker of intoxicants. Ponder it well, young man and young woman. In. Seedtime and Harvest (Gal. 6:7-9). Everywhere about him man sees the inexorable operation of the law of cause and effect, of sowing and reaping, and yet he listens to the lies of Satan and of his Owns lustful heart and tries to convince himself that the law may be suspended in the realm of the moral and spiritual. Sowing to the flesh always brings corruption. No matter how well ed ucated, no matter what his position in life, or his family connection, the m an who takes his first drink has started on the road to a drunkard’s grave. Statistics reveal that the victims , of drink come from every strata of society and every circum stance of life. Young people, the sure way to avoid the consequences is to not take the first drink. Sowing to the Spirit brings “life everlasting.” That, too, is always true. There is also another pre cious truth: namely, that Ijy turning to Christ the one who has begun on the downward path may stay the ruinous hand of sin upon his life. Taking Christ as his Saviour, he finds regeneration and renewal of life. The Works of the Lord Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The works of the Lord are great, sought put of all them that have pleasure therein.— Psalm 111: I, 2. As Lambs Among Wolves Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye. enter, first say, Peace be unto this house.— Ltdie 10: 3-5. One Point of View U we can not hope that life will be all happiness we may, at least, secure a heavy balance on the right side. The God. Within “God worketh in you.” This im plies the actual presence of God. at the center of our being.

Two Wioston-Salem men have admitted intimate ielations with a young Twia City girl at a country estate in Davie county, but deny that they criminally assaulted the girl, claimiog that the acts were vol. uutary, Davie Sheriff Sheek Bowden said. Held in jail at Mocksville, Uriah 5aniel Wyatt, 30, and Ernest R Myers, will be given a hearing on a capital charge as soon as the girl. Miss Johnny Hunter, 21, is able to appear against them, the sher iff said. Reportedly found in an unconscious con dition on the porch of the Paul E. Price home, 216 Gloria avenue, where she was a governess, about 2 a. m.. Thursday, Miss Hunter was taken to City Hospital and wus iu a delirious state for several bouts. After she was able to be questioned by officers, the two men were arrested Thurs day afternoon and lodged in the Davie county jail. Her story of the affair, as fold to officers was that while she was waiting on a tax icab Wednesday evening, a man with whom she was acquainted drove bv with another man and offered to take her home They drove her out the Mocksville high way to a country home a little way be yond the Yadkin River in Davie county, where they overpowered her and each as saulted her, she alleged. The young men apparently had access to the country bome, owned by David Ly- biook, Sheriff Bowden said. One of them had a key to the gate leading into the es tate, he said. Members of the Price family heard a car drive up and stop in front of the house before midnight and then beard persons walking, they related. Later the car drove awav, they said. Some time after that it was noticed that Miss Hunter was nut in her room and then groans were heard from the porcb, Inves tigation revealed that she was lying on the porch in an unconscious condition, they reported to authorities—Twin City Sentinel. Mycp and Wyatt waived preliminary hearing here Saturday evening on charges of criminally assaulting Miss Hunter last Wednesday night. Solicitor Avalon Hall, of Yadkinville, was present and protested the granting of bail for the men, and P S. Young, J. P.. rqmanded them to jail to await the August term of Davie Superior court, which convenes here on the 26th. The big crowd tbat assembled for the trial seemed to be sadly disappointed and slowly dispersed. Thank Mr. Rich. WHEREAS: Honorable Thomas W.

I "You underestimate the privilege 'it is to me to be permitted to talk without being interrupted.” “I suppose so.”. Gay was silent for a moment, then asked, “Have you told John, Dad?” John §aw David Graham’s expres- . ■ 6ion alter. The diffidence he had Jost while he had talked of John’s inicle returned. He glanced at John, almost, he thought, watching, In apology, then up at Gay, conSider- ■ingly. “No,” he said. “I haven’t.” j “It’s about getting a place for you in the research department at Johns Hopkins,” Gay said, eagerly. "That is what you want?” John heard the hesitancy in David Gra ham’s-voice, saw-the considering expression in his eyes. “I’d hoped that I might work and study there,” he said slowly. “It’s seemed pretty far in the future to make definite plans.” “There will be an opening for you the first of the year. I’ve been in communication with the authorities. Your training and ability will be investigated, of course, but that’s largely, a matter of course.” • “Grandfather had an operation there.” Gay’s voice was excited and happy. “Considerate of him, wasn’t it?” ; John looked directly at David Gra ham. . “I appreciate what you’ve done,” he said, “but I couldn’t accept a place there the first of the-year.” “Gay has told me—” David Gra ham’s - embarrassment visibly in creased. “But I—we—she seemed to think that . some arrangement might be made.” “Isn’t it possible, John?” “I’m afraid not.” He saw a little of the brightness go out of her face but continued, “I’ve given Dr. Sar- geant my promise to remain in Port land until October,. You see, Mr. Graham, I’m discharging an obliga tion. Dr. Sargeant made it possible for me to complete my medical course and that was the stipulation.” “But if it’s' only a question of money.” Gay’s color deepened and her eyes were very bright. “Couldn’t you—” She paused at a warning glance from her father, looked down at her hand. : “It isn’t entirely. I’ve be«n work ing with Dr. Sargeant since October. He’s leaving for a cruise the first of the year. There wouldn’t be time to break in another assistant even if—” “—Even ,if you could swallow your—’’ She broke off, her eyes blaz ing, her chin held high. “Gently,' Gay.” David: Graham’s lace was very troubled: “This is a decision which John rriust make.” : They were staring at each other like strangers, John thought, antag onism ..humming between them in ,vibrations - across the dim, richly furnished .room. But he could not, he Would not yield. It was not, he ,told: himself, entirely pride, not only stubbornness. There was a deeper reason, something he was' unable to analyze fully. It had to do with all the other pressures being ex erted upon him by this life into yrhich he had been plunged. 1 f l’iji sorry,” he said, conscious of David Graham’s eyes fixed upon him in compassion. “I can’t break that promise, Gay: Dr. Sargeant is depending on me. I can’t let him down.” There was silence for a moment.: Ihen Gay’s expression softened. She gave a low shaken laugh. “I’m as bad as Aunt Flora,” she said. “I’ve just been despising her because she very - kindly offers, to arrange your life for you. I’m doing th^'same.” Her breath caught on a sob.- “Forgive me. I’m sorry.” She slipped from the arm of. her fa ther’s chair and came toward him. “I!ll bte patient. I can wait.” ‘ He looked. down at her as she stood beside him, lovely In this changed and softened mood. • “You do understand, Gay?” he asked, wanting to- take her iii his arms, to heal the hurt he had. been obliged to give her in the" only way at his command. Diffidence held him motionless, self-conscious in the presence of her father.. Her eyes fell away from his plead ing glance. “Of course ! under stand.” She laughed too quickly, too brightly. “It’s just that Grandfa ther’s offspring have always had too much of everything, I suppose. We don’t accept disappointments graced fully. Except you, Dad. You’re the only one of us who doesn’t snatch and grab.” She linked her arm through John’s. “Have you finished with.JCIm?” “I hope, not.” David Graham smiled? ttfit, hiS' eyes were grave. “I ■ hope % have the pleasure of a protested acquaintance." “At the moment, I mean. This house. Swarming with relatives. No wonder we’re all on edge. Will you excuse us, Dad? John and I . are going out and walk five miles.” CHAPTER IXi 1 The sun, dropping toward the ho rizon, laid a dazzling sheen on the snow, which covered the wide lawns sloping away from the gray stone towers and turrets and Victorian em bellishments of the house, but when they entered the grove the glow was dimmed by the foliage of ever greens, striped and filigreed by the trunks and bare branches of trees. Rabbit tracks printed the path be fore them, whorls, scalloped indenta tions, like waves on sand, where the snow had been blown by the wind. They ploughed through, kicking up a fine white mist that sprayed their faces with stinging cold. “It’s like a Maine snow,” John said, as Gay became silent. “Yes, isn’t it?” she said brightly. “Dry and like powder. We don’t often have them like this.” “Do you ski near here?” Why wouldn't she look at him? Her arm, linked through his, was unrespon sive beneath the thick fur coat sleeve. When he glanced sidewise and down, he saw only tendrils of red-brown hair curling out under her cap, the curving line of her cheek half-buried in fur. He had thought that here, alone, out of doors, he would find her again, but she had ignored or deliberately misinterpret ed his diffident attempts to effect a reconciliation so that he no longer made an effort to break through the brittle gaiety of her mood. ] “We have,” she replied. “On the slope just beyond the grove, be tween the Janeway place and ours. It isn’t very exciting though. Coast ing there is more fun.” “The Janeway place is beyond the grove?’’ John asked. Why should he apologize again? he asked him self. Gay had known that he was obligated to Dr. Sargeant until the coming October. She shouldn’t have made plans for him which she knew he would be unable to endorse. She’d always been able to buy what she wanted. Well, in this instance, there was something more important than money. It was his services the doc tor needed. Besides— “Yes. ‘Highciiff,’ ” Gay said in reply to his question. “It was a show-place until ‘Dunedin’ was built. Originally—I -don’t remember but I’ve seen photographs—people spoke of it as an Italian villa. It looked like a steel-engraving with terraces descending in a series to a lake and balustrades and urns and weeping conifers. Our family are parvenus in comparison with the Janeways. The land was granted to one of Todd’s ancestors in 1630. That’s why they can live simply now, without observing all the silly conventions that Aunt Flora strug gles to maintain.” A hemlock branch, weighted with snow, cut across the path. “Duck!” he cried and reached for ward, too late, to thrust it aside. He caught her as she stumbled. “Heavens!” she gasped and looked up at him, snow covering her face like a mask. She blinked, then laughed, a gay laugh, free from constraint. “You look like a snow man,” she said. He blinked to clear his vision. “You look like a snow-maiden.” He laughed with her. “No, that’s too poetic. You look as though you’d fallen head-first in a barrel of soap flakes. I can’t see anything but the tip of your nose. Here. Wait.” His arm held her while, with the other hand, he brushed the snow from her face. As he bent toward her, he saw the laughter dim in her eyes. A half-smile trembled across her lips. “I’ve been—Can you forgive me?” “Oh, darling— Yes!” His. arms held her but did not draw her to ward him. “But,” he said steadi ly, “you must understand.” “I do. I’ve been despising my self for—I’m hateful to you because I love you. That long stupid din ner and then Aunt Flora. I told you that we Grahams don’t accept disappointments gracefully. It was a disappointment.” , “But you knew I was obligated.” She smiled ruefully. Her eyes were shy. “I wanted it so much,” she said. “When I was away from you, I thought that when we. were together again, you’d want it as much as I did, that being together would mean more to you than keep ing a promise.” •’ “I do want it. You know that, Gay.” “Yes, I know. But— ‘I could not love you; dear, so well Loved I not honor more—' ” “You’re making fun of me.” “No, John, Tm not. Have I quot ed correctly? Dad read the ‘Idylls of the King* to me when I was lit tle. I thought the king was very noble, but even then—” Humor shone fleetingly in the blue depths of her eyes, “—that it was a Uttle hard on the queen.” “You make me feel—” “I have great, respect for your honor,” she said steadily, “but I resent your lack of confidence. Oh, I don’t blame you,” she went on as he made a sound of protest. “Now that you’ve had a chance to look us over, you’re probably justified. Mother is a dear, generous and amusing, but not very reliable, I suppose, and Aunt Flora and Uncle James— Isn’t Uncle James ridicu lous? And Muriel and Elsa and Dirk and Reggie Lancaster. Dad’s the only one of us you could possibly admire—” “I do admire him. You’re like him—a little.” “You want to believe that, don’t you? I am, a little, I guess. But I wouldn’t be satisfied to shut my self off from life as he does. There’s something of Mother in me and a great deal of Grandfather, but noth ing of Aunt Flora,” humor shone “We don’t accept disappoint ments gracefully.’' - in her eyes again, “if that’s encour aging as it should be/’ He laughed reluctantly. Her face lifted to his, in the dimming glow of the sunset, was very grave. “When we talked in Dad’s study, you were thinking of your work.” “Yes,”.;he admitted, disconcerted by her penetration. “You are afraid for your work.” She waited and then went on. “Don’t you know I’ll never interfere with that, that it will be my pleasure to help you? Not that I am a noble and self-sacrificing character but,” her voice faltered. “But because—I love you.” “I love you.” ' He caught her to him. Their lips met. But though she clung to him, though her cheek, cold and wet with snow, lay against his and she whispered soft endear ments, he felt something lacking in the embrace. Each misunderstand ing, ’ each prolonged explanation blunted a little the sharp ecstasy they had felt at the cabin, when their Ups met, when, her cheek against his she whispered soft en dearments.. She drew away from him and he made no effort to hold her. They walked on, breaking a path through the grove, closer now, but not united. When they spoke their voices were gentle, their glances meeting, separating, ques tioned but received no answer. They came out of the grove into the open again. “That’s the Janeway place.” John looked across the sloping ex panse of snow to the .white stone house which stood on> a rise ,over looking a series of terraces which descended to a small irregular lake. “Not the Italian Villa,” he said. “Oh, no. Todd’s father had, the Patroon’s house moved up on the. site of the original house.” “Patroon?” he questioned, only vaguely familiar with the word. “The ancestor to whom the land was granted,” she explained but her voice was absent. 1 “They’re coast ing,” she.said. . John’s, glance turned from the rambling stone house, Washed over with faint pink Ught, standing se rene among evergreens and the bare lofty branches of trees, toward the direction in which she was gazing. Figures in bjright colored ski suits toiled up the slope which extended from the lake to the high wall planted with", hemlocks which marked the boundary of the estate. As he watched, one of the figures raised an arm in greeting and a welcoming shout came ringing through the clear frosty air. “There’s Todd!” Gay’s arm slipped from his. She took a few running steps forward. “Let’s coast with them,” she called back over her shoulder, then stopped and turned. “Shall we?” she asked, hes itantly. “Would you enjoy it?” “If you would,” he repUed, con scious of the constraint in his voioe, “and I—we aren’t intruding.” She returned to him, slipped her hand under his arm. “Idiot!” she said. A half-smile curved her Ups. Her eyes, lifted to his face, were very gentle. “John! Don’t you know—?” “Of course I know.” He smiled, and saw her half-smile widen and deepen. “I’m rather good with a toboggan. Let’s go coasting.” The sled sped down the runway glittering with a sheen that was faintly blue in cold moonUght. “Hold tight!” Todd shouted back over bis shoulder. “I’m holding!” Gay tightened her grip around his waist. The words seemed to be torn from her Ups and flung backward as the speed of the sled accelerated. Rushing cold stung her face and half closed her eyes. It was freedom, it was exciting. “Here’s the camel’s hump!” The sled rose and dipped. Gay laughed, gasping. She leaned out around Todd’s back and looked ahead through squinting eyeUds. The wall rose ahead of them, the dark hemlocks outlined in snow. She closed her eyes as Todd made the slithering' turn. The sled tUted, spilling them off into the snow. They lay where they had faUen, laughing, gasping, struggling for breath. Todd scrambled up. “All right?” he asked and pulled her to her feet. “AU right.” He dropped her hands. She stood brushing the snow from her ski suit. “I’ve never got ten over the feeling that sometime we’re going to crash into that waU again.” “Do you remember when we did?” “I should. I still have the scar.” “It was your fault. You jerked the rope.” “It wasn’t. You didn’t make the turn in time.” They broke into laughter. “I suppose we’U be arguing that question when we’re eighty,” Todd said. “Breath okay? Can you make the climb now?” They started back in the soft snow at the side of the run. Todd puUed the sled. Gay linked her arm through his. Figures moved ahead of them, climbing the slope, pull ing the toboggan. Other figures were dark against the fire blazing at the edge of the lake. “Feeling better?” Todd asked, after an interval of. silence. “Better? What do you mean?” “You didn’t look too happy this afternoon, when you first came over.” “It’s been an awful day. Aunt Flora—” “I can imagine.”(TO BE CONTINUED) Current Building Trend Is Toward Small Home There is every indication today that the swing toward the smaUer, less expensive home is a perma nent one, says the Plumbing and Heating Industries bureau. The preference today is for the com pact type of servantless house, even among the income group which in former years built larger houses. ParaUeling the trend toward the small house incorporating the max imum compactness and convenience in its design and furnishings, is the steady progress made by the {^limb ing and heating industries in ths de velopment of space-saving feature*, Radiators haye been redesigned in modern slenderized , lines and have lost 40 per cent of their bulk and size in the reducing process. Due to its handsome .streamlined design, the new radiator looks smaUer. The factors have made it possi ble for heating contractors to de sign steam or hot-water heating plants with aU essential parts such as radiators, boilers, and piping, considerably smaUer than the sizes it was formerly necessary to use. The advent of insulation, for in stance, has decreased the heating load so that a smaUer heating plant wUl do the work. Better construc tion, too, has had the effect of re ducing the infiltration of cold air. In Sie case of hot-water heating plants, automatic heating with forced circulation - and dependable safety controls has made it possible to carry higher temperatures Cf wa ter in the system. - ■ FIRST-AID to the AILING HOUSE by Roger B. W hitman Wasps. Q UESTION: I have a wasp nest in one corner of my attic about 18 inches in diameter. How can I get rid of it? Answer: On a cool day when the wasps are inert, spray the nest thor oughly with any insect Uquid or kerosene. The nest can then be wrapped in heavy paper or, if possi ble, enclosed in a paper bag, broken away from its support, and burned. Question: In spring and faU there are wasps in our attic and in one upstairs bedroom, which they seem to enter through the window pulley openings. How can they be elimi nated? Answer: The puUey openings can be covered by strips of cloth of a width to fit the bottom of the groove, and held by a thumb-tack above the puUey. In the attic, locate the pests and spray them heavily with insect Uquid. If the nests are within the waUs you can locate them by ob serving the cracks through whichf the wasps crawl in and out. Weed Killers. Question: What is a solution to be sprayed on the ground to kiU weeds and to prevent the growth of poison ivy? Is this the right time of year to use such a solution? , Answer: A strong solution of rock salt in water is effective; or you can get ready-made weed kiUer at a seed store. Any such solution will kill aU vegetation that it falls ,on; however, until in time rain carries it deep into the earth. This would be a good time of year to use it, for spring growth is already, be ginning. ColdBedroomFlobr. Question: The area under the bed rooms is unexcavated. We find the floors in these rooms are cold. The house is just completed'. Is it the newness of the house, and wiU the dampness pass? If this coldness wiU continue, what type of insulation do you suggest? Answer: Floors without basements under them wUl most likely continue to be cold. The newness of the house may aggravate the condition be cause of the dampness given off by the plaster. Insulation wiU help con siderably. There is a form of blan ket insulation made of shredded wood fiber enclosed in a waterproof paper, made to fit between the floor Joists, which might be quite suita ble for your purpose. Old Kitchen Clock. Question: I would like to clean the works of an old porcelain kitch en clock. I was told to soak the works in kerosene, then add a few drops of light machine oil. How would you clean the clock? Answer: If the clock is valuable, the cleaning and oiling should be done by a professional. Soaking in gasoline may be preferable to kero sene. The gasoline will cut the old oU and grease faster. In oiling, place just a drop of Ught oU on each pivot. Coal and OS. Question: For house heating how many gaUons of oU are equivalent to a ton of coal? Answer: That depends very large ly on the efficiency with which both oil and coal are burned. I have had comparisons running aU the way from 150 to 200 gaUons of oil to the ton of coal; 175 gaUons is, I be- Ueve1 a fair average. Decorating a Room. Question: A large room in my house is not heated, and the temper ature in it frequently goes below freezing. In redecorating the room would you advise painting or pa pering? Answer: I should paint it, for in such extreme changes in tempera ture and with inevitable dampness, the papering is likely to loosen. Insnlating a Floor. Question: I intend to insulate the under part of a floor, which is three feet above the ground. I expect to use rock wool b.atts, which have waterproof backs. Would it be bet ter to put building paper over the batts, or do you recommend a rigid insulating board? Answer: Waterproof asphalt pa per may be more practical for your purpose. It' wiU be easier to han dle. Where the laps of the paper occur, nail strips of wood over joists to close up any bulge or openings between sheets. Leaking Garage Walls. Question: Water seeps in under the sills on both sides of my garage on the cement floor. The floor ex tends beydnd the walls, and is above ground. The rain seems to come in near the bottom. The walls are shingle covered frame construction. How can I overcome this trouble? Answer: FiU aU cracks, crevices and openings around the-bottom of the ‘wall with caulking compound. This '.viU probably be sufficient. Attle Insolation. Question: There is handpacked in- Sidation four inches thick in the ceU- ings of our second-story rooms. Would insulating the roof cut down the temperature of. those rooms? Answer: It wUl help, but you wiU get far more benefit froni free venti lation in the attic to carry off the attic air as fast as it becomes heat ed. If the attic air .is cool, the rooms below wiU be cool also. Hoger B. WWtinsji—WNU Service.)

BROWN’S first week before the cameras in the Columbia picture, “So You Won’t Talk,” marking his re turn to the screen after a seri ous automobile accident that put him in the hospital for four months, left no doubt that he was fully recovered. In the first three days Joe fell off beds, crawled under them, jumped out of a second-story win. dow, and swung a haymaker to Charles Wilson’s jaw that connect ed accidentally and knocked the actor senseless for two minutes. “So You Won’t Talk” is a comedy in which Brown plays the dual role of a timid book reviewer and a gang JOE E. BROWNSporting whiskers he grew while recuperating. baron for whom he is mistaken; Frances Robinson plays opposite him. Ace Director Clarence Brown re calls that in the days of the silent pictures the saying was that the worst pictures had the most titles, and a really great picture such as "The Last Laugh” had no titles at all. Now it seems likely that one of the great talking pictures has proved that the bigger they are, the less the actors say. “Edison, the Man,” Mr. Brown’s latest directorial effort, goes a long way toward proving that fact. There is perhaps half a reel during the climatic sequence in which hardly a word is spoken. “The suspense during the 40-hour test of Edison’s first electric bulb, I tried to relate entirely in pictorial terms,” said the director.' “And that is the stretch during which the audience is most acutely attentive.” Wayne Morris. can’t escape the Lane sisters. If he isn’t acting with Priscilla, he’s acting with Rose mary. Priscilla’s one up on her sister; she teamed with him in “Love, Honor and Behave,” “Broth er Rat,” and “Brother Rat and a Baby.” Rosemary won him in “An Angel From Texas,” and she’s his romance again in “Ladies Must Live,” their current picture at War ner'Brothers’. Meanwhile the ro mance of his personal life seems to have hit the rocks. Betty Brewer, Paramount’s 13- year-old discovery who is making her film debut opposite Fred Mac- Murray in “Rangers of Fortune,” has a suggestion for anyone who wants to learn a foreign language. She suggests that the would-be student live next door to a family which speaks no English, be broke' and hungry, and have to ask the foreigners for food, in their native tongue. “That’s how I learned to speak Spanish,” she explained. If you’re one of the vast army of fans who’ve enjoyed the pictures made by Osa Johnson and her late husband, Martin, you’ll want to see “I Married Adventure,” which Co lumbia is releasing the last of this month. It is based on Mrs. Johnson’s auto biography, and is the first pictorial dramatic thriller of a famous wom an explorer. It tells the story of 27 years of adventure, shared by the Johnsons. The Court of Missing Heirs, a half- hour radio program whieh has been taking only 25 minutes because of Elmer Davis’ news broadcasts, has moved from its customary spot on C3S to one-half an hour earlier, which will give it a full half hour. Even in its 25 minute weekly broad casts it has not done so badly at digging up missing legatees; in 28 weeks under its present sponsorship the program has found claimants to more than $120,400—more than $6,000 a week.

Congress finally passed the Hatch bill, designed to curb political acti vities by the army of state and Io cal government employes, whose pay comes in part or in whole from the federal government. It is a companion piece to the original Hatch Act applying only to strict Iy federal employes. Under the new law officials and employes are working on programs financed in whole or in part by the federal government will be forbid den to use their position to influ ence the result of elections, to coerce other employes or to engage active. Iy in political campaigns. Various elective officials would be exempt from this last restriction. . The history back of this legisla tion is quite interesting, for it shows that American public opinion really counts. The Senate approv ed the Hatch Bill with a comfort able majority. In the House it was selved in the committee and had to be prized loose with much difficult, a North Carolina member standing boldly against its consid eration. on the floor. But after hearing from the people back home the bill was approved by the House after several changes which the Senate hastily agreed to and the bill becomes law. The bill is so obviously righte ous that it is a wonder any repre sentative would have the nerve to oppose it. Yet the lineup as re vealed in the Congressional Record shows that not a single Congress man from North Carolina support ed this “clean state political bill,’’ eighf of. them casting their vote a gainst it on roll-call, with three paired against it. It is estimated that in North Ca rolina this legislation will effect more than four thousand State, county and municipal goverment workers directly, and through them countless thousands — indirectly, here in North Carolina we known what it means to have the organiz. ed support of the State highway department, or even the backstand- ing of any minor agencies. Could that be the reason our representa tives elected to stand In the path of the bill’s enactment. President Roosevelt had approved the bill and Wendell Wilkie had dipped an oar for it. And now that it is a federal law we shall see hour well it is observed. In North Carolina this year there little reason to undertake to circum vent it, but there will be other elec tions when it will be put to the test. —Statesville Daily. Referendum On Wet Issue. Life Begins In 1940. The nomination of Wendel L. Willkie by the Republican Conven tion inspires hope of success in Nov ember. The New Dealers in Wash, ingtob looked upon him as a win ner and they are shaking in their- boots. They nowsee the end-of the “ tax, spend and elect” orgy in which the Washington bureaucrats have revelled for seven years at the people’s expense. It is predicted that Roosevelt will not dare run for a third term a- against him. W ith W illkie’s elec tion, competence will be restored and our government again put on sane business basis, and that onr American system of government which has been threatened for sev years will be ,saved.—Carroll Reece.

Cale K. Burgess, o f Raleigh, president of the Upited Dry Forces in North Carolina, says that his or ganization, mightily heartened by he recent vote in Johnston county which by a margin of 7,579 to 3,56, closed out the county liquor stores^ will ask the next session of the gen eral Assembly to meet in January for .a state-wide referendum on the sale of intoxicating liquors. The decisive vote against liquor stores in Johnston county indicates that North Carolina is going to re establish State-wide prohibition,’.’ Burgess, Raleigh attorney, declar ed. "T he result of the county elections that have been held dur ing the last five years show a de finite change of sentiment in our state.” "T he most significant thing a bout the Johnson county election is that it' was the first contest on the question of closing liquor stores and that, after seeing these stores in operation for three years, the citi zens of Johnston county voted; al most two to one to close their li quor stores. After the wets had lost every section that they had called during the last three years, they stopped calling county elec tion to close the -Johnston county stores. And this decisive victory will influence other counties to call elections to call election to close their liquor stores.” Burgees, answering a question said Cumberland county may call a vote on closing the ABC stores in the near future. “ If they do, ■ we will win,” he added. ' There has been no agitation in W ake county for a vote. A vote may be ordered either on written request of the board of county com missioners or upon a petition .sign ed by at, least 13 per cent of the rehfsed voters in the county who voted in the last general,election for Governor. W ake voted for the ABC stores June 22, 1937 , Py a mat gin of 7, 932 to 6 ,560 . “The Johnston election will have a State-wile significance,’* Burgess declared. “It will have influence on tne 1941 General Assembly, when the drys ask again for a State wide referendum. The unbroken record of dry victories fors three years, climaxed by this decisive vote in Johnstop county demon strates the rapid change of senti ment in the State and should canse the 1941 General Assemblyto give the people the right to vote in a State-wide referendum, so they can close all the liquor stores and beer saloons.in the State and set up a State-wide system of law enforce m ent.” G; 0. P. Platform Pop ular With People. There has been much discussion about the platform adopted by the Republican national convention at Philadelphia. Only in a few in. stances the document .has been highly praised as.a worthy piece of campaign literature on which Wen- del WiIlkie and Charles McNary will seek-the presidency and vice presidency, respectively, this fall. So far as we can learn from read ing other editor’s opinions, the platform was admirably written and presents a fine challenge to the De mocrats. It is strictlv a “Prepar- Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. 000000 Mrs. Marvin Smith shopping in Mocb8viile Cash Store—ChaB.

It advocates a nat- bV Ferabee telling about trip to Wilkie Hears Of N. C. Chance. “ We are going to carry North Ca rolina thiB fall,” Wendell Willkie, the Republican nominee for the Pre sidency, asserted on Monday in Washington when assured by Robert fl. McNeil, Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina, that popular sentiment for Wilkie widely prevailed in state among Democrats and. Republicans alike. When Mr. McNeill expressed, to Mr. Willkie the hope that he would so arrange his speakiog'date3 during the campaign as to address a North Carolina audience he gave. informa tion that this had already been , ar ranged. Mr. Wilkie Baid he had been' asked to speak in Charlotte, and had gladly accepted the invita tion. . • After moving about the state for a number of weeks Mr. McNeill said that he was convinced that he was convinced that t h e Republicans would be successful in the state in November was no idle boast.. Ity” platform ional defense system strong enough to prevent any unfriendly , power from setting foot on American soil Surveys show the American people have persistently favored a strong er army, navy and air force for the past several years. Most of our people, have expressed a willing ness to pay higher taxes for this purpose—a course advocated in the Republican platform. The Well known Gallup poll has learned that public opinion is in accord with the platform. The poll shows that In only two instan ces-—the planks on reciprocal trade treaties and on constitutional a. mendment to prohibit third terms —is there any major deviation be. tween public sentiment and the program of action as outlined at Philadelphia. . ‘ The Republican party," says the platform, "is firmly opposed to involving this nation In foreign war.” This declaration echoes the views of big majority of Ameri. can voters who, up to the time France surrendered, were 9 to against going to M ar, comments the Gallup poll. The Republicans declare . they would build a fightina force strong enough to “ uphold in war the Mon roe Doctrine.” A recent national survey found the majority of voters in favor of aiding Canada, Central America and South America if 'any of those places were attacked by a foreign power. The. platform advocates giving aid to foreign countries fighting a gainst the Invasion of the dictator powers. Public opinion studies have found a majority of voters in favor of giving all possible Ameri can help to such countries, “short of war.” The Republican platform is for labor unions, bnt favors amend ing the W agner labor act. This closely reflects the views of the pub lie. Labor unions are approved 9 to I, but a majority of those voters with opinions on the labor act say it shonld be revised or repealed. The securities act, which is en dorsed by the platform, is over whelmingly popular among thejyo. ters with opinions on it, and is ap proved even bv a majority of Re publicans. The platform plank calling for strict watch over the undesirable aliens in the United States is in ac cord with public opinion. - Thevo ters endorse, by more than 9 to I, a law compelling all aliens to reg- tster. In its plank endorsing the civil service, the G. O. P. advocates ex tension of tne merit system to all non-policy forming positions. This pronosal was approved 8 to.2 in a poll taken some months ago.. So, it is easily seen by this poll that the platform, , with only two exceptions, is approved by the peo ple and should be popular this fall when the Republican orators take it to the people.

Highway Patrol Is Cen sored by Judge. Judge Frank Armstrong, holding superior court in Greensboro, en tered strong protest against the large vans, oil tankers and motor carriers “ which are about to take our highways” and poured sting ing criticism on the state highway patrol for "failure to discharge its duties” in regard to the vehicles. Judge Armstrong, in charging a newly-selected grand jury, said fast and reckless driving was com mon among drivers of the motors carriers and declared it was becom ing highly precarious to meet the vehicles 0 n curves 0 r narrow bridges.. He averred the highway patrol “ in sections I ’ve noticed” had done little to remedy the situa tion and expressed the belief they were derelict in enforcing the traf fic laws in this respect judge Armstrong also deplored the situation in which drunken drivers were acquited in court. He said they took the stand and testi fied they’d had only one bottle of beer, o r. had taken some medicine which bad an intoxicating effect, or the exhaust fumes had penetrated through the floor boards of the car. They bring a gang of witnesses- in to court to substantiate their story, he added, aud the jury exonerates them .—Ex What! Democratic Of ficial Crooked? The Harnet county .grand jury may probe into the activities of Charlie Carr, of Dnnn, one of the election-officials there, since the county board o f. elections has re moved him from office. Then a- gain the grand jury may not do anything about it. The shortage of Stedman McLean, a Democratic auditor, whose accounts “merely lacked $20,000 of balancing,” is still fresh in the minds of the peo ple that way. Acting Chairman R Durham, Taylor, of Dunn, of the county board of elections, announced that he ask for Carr’s resignation after reconnt of votes in the ward showed votes cast for one candidate had been credited. to another. It was in the contest between David Henry Senter, 0 f Chalybeate Springs, who defeated Representa tive Neil McK. R js s , of Lillington, for the State house. The recount demanded by Sen ter, showed that 25 votes cast for him had been wrongfully credited to Ross, Taylor said. Tbe tally sheet corresponded with, the totals, which indicated, the ballots had been misread at the counting. High Minded Hen. Newton—A brown Legbam hen on the farm of Mrs. Addie Bost, near Newton, was observed sitting on a nest of eggs in a tree, some fifteen feet from the ground. The nest is at the base of four forks in a locust tree. Mrs. Rost said that she observed the queer antics of the ben and up. on investigation, found that she was covering eleven eggs. The tree is near a smokehouse shed aud the ben gains her lofty perch by'first flying up on the roof, then flapping from there to tbe tree forks. The woman said that she had never seen a hen nesting in a tree before and she plans to leave the fowl there until the eggs batck. It usually requires three weeks for eggs to hatch and neigh bors are speculating as to how the hen mother will bring her baby chicks to safety on the ground. This latest freak is some three miles from the Lutz farm where a turkey gobbler hatched and moth ered several baby guineas last sum mer. The old fellow stayed on the nest until the guineas hatched aud mothered them until they were drowned during a severe rain storm —Hickory Daily Record. It’s Time Swap Horses In 1864, Abraham Lincoln shrewdly invoked the persuasive in fluence of a glittering generality in support of his candidacy for a se cond term. He quoted a mythical farmer as saying, “It’s not wise to swap horses while crossing the river. . At that time the Battle of Get tysburg had been fought and won.’ Lincoln had carried the Union to . the verge of victory. The defeat of tbe Confederacy was in sight. Lincoln was anxious to crown his work. If anv President bad been tested and tried and found equal to his task it was Lincoln. He was willing to serve a second term—hot a third. The people decided that while Lincoln’s work was unfinish ed it was not wise to change lead ers. Today this gliltering gent r illtv is invoked in behalf of a Piesident who has been tried and tested and Found Warning in capacity t» gov ern the country wisely In Time Of Peace. It is hoped that, in theex- citement of the times, the people may be induced to throw away a great national safeguard and choose for a Third Term a Piesident Who Has Failed Them Twice. The national safeguard which the people are asked to discard is the immemorial rule established by George W ashington, that no Pre sident shall serve more than two terms. The present national administra tion has proved its unfitness There fore there must be a change. W hether war comes or not, tbe country must prepare for war. Its first job is to survive.

With thoughts of warfare stirring tbe hearts of men and women, might not be a bad idea for us to remem ber that the ideals of religion apply in times of stress and faith should not be surrendered in the midst of vicissitudes.

Or maybe it has seemed so to me because John” Gay paused. “Don’t be afraid to speak of him to me.” “You’re generous, Todd.” “Not very.” He gave a short laugh, quickly stilled. “Perhaps I’m just trying to impress you with how well I’m taking it, to make you admire me.” “I do admire you. I have always. I feel toward you, now, just as I’ve felt any one of the hundreds of times I’ve climbed this slope since we were kids.” “How is that?” “Oh, that it’s fun to be with you, that I can say anything without be ing afraid you’ll misunderstand. I don’t wonder what you’re thinking when you’re silent, or watch your reaction to every move I make. I hoped, when we came through the grove, that you might be coasting. It was good of you to make us wel come.” “You’re always welcome.” He hesitated, then asked, “Is there— Has anything—?” “Nothing of any importance—Just Aunt Flora. I was disappointed about something I hoped could hap pen. And last night—it was diffi cult.” “Don’t worry about it.” “I won’t any longer. This was just what I needed. Coasting, silly fun, exercise. Everyone has been so solemn all day. Being with you—” “I?” He laughed with a note of embarrassment in his voice. “What have I done?” “Just been natural, and allowed me to be. There’s no strain in being with you.” “Not now,” he said gravely, “but there was. You felt a sense of strain last summer, after our en gagement had been announced, when you were trying to persuade your self that you wanted to marry me—” She was silent for a moment. Then—“Was that a difficult time for you? Forgive me for asking but I— It’s strange,"isn’t it, that you should be the only one I can talk to? The others—” “It was difficult,” he said in re ply to her question. “I went through hell.” “And you seemed so casual.” “I told you that night at the cab in,” he said slowly. “I thought you wanted me to be casual. I was afraid that if I let you know how I felt it would irritate you. It was a relief to know, in spite of the fuss, in spite of having to accept the fact that you loved John. I’m getting over you. I’ve done pretty well and I’m going to do better.” “Oh, are you?” she said so in dignantly that they both laughed. “I didn’t mean that,” she said, when the laughter was stilled. “I want you to be happy.” “I shall be, if you are. Or con tent, at any rate. Of course being here with you like this is a little disconcerting. I keep thinking— That’s enough of that. I’m glad we’ve had this time together. You won’t keep on trying to avoid me as you have done until now? We have something left. Oh, anything I may say will sound.asinine, but we can be friends, can’t we?” “There’s no question of that.” Her voice was not quite steady. “After —all the years we’ve known each other, the fun we’ve had.” “I hope so. I don’t want to lose you entirely. If there’s ever any thing—If you need me or—” He broke off with an embarrassed laugh. “Skip it. We’d better get back to the others. They’re proba bly thinking things which aren't true. This slow-motion progress may appear a little incriminating when viewed from the heights.” She laughed and lengthened her stride to match his. The irritations of the day no longer' lay like a weight on her spirits. It seemed in credible, now, as glowing from the exercise she climbed the slope at Todd’s side, that she had allowed Atmt Flora to annoy her, that in her unreasonable disappointment she had flared up at John. She was eager to be with him again, to make her partial apology complete. As they approached the lake, she broke away from Todd and ran ahead. “Wait a minute!” he called. She did not reply. A chorus of voices greeted her. She made laugh ing replies but her eyes flew to John. He rose, at her approach, from the pile of blankets on which he had been sitting with Ellen Janeway and her guest, little Julie Lelange from Charleston. His face brightened as his eyes met hers through the ruddy glow of the fire. She went to him. LIDA CHAPTER X LARRIMORE© MACRAE SMITH CO. WKU SERVICE Kitty Cameron lifted her eyes from a magazine as Gay spoke to her at the door of her dressing- room. “Hello!” she said. “Have you just returned? Where’s John?” “Here.” Gay drew him forward. “Yes, we’ve just returned.” “Hello, John! Come in. There’s a photograph of the ‘Gabriella’ in ‘Town and Country,’ Gay. Todd has sold it to Tony Merrill.” “Has he?” Gay kissed her moth er. “Whew, it’s hot in here. May I raise a window?” “Let me.” John lifted a sash be hind taffeta curtains, letting a stream of air into the softly lit, fra grant room. Lights bloomed through the dusk. A few stars shone. At an angle be saw a freighter moving slowly on the dark surface of the river below, trailing a brighter wash of churning foam. “Br-r-r!” Kitty Cameron sat up and leaned forward to reach the fur coverlet folded at the foot of the chaise-longue. "You come in here- glowing like mountain climbers and proceed to freeze me out.” “You invited us.” Gay dropped into a chair beside the chaise- longue. “You’re a hot-house blos som, Kitty. Where’s Robert?” “Playing hand-ball at the club.” Gay’s mother lay back against cush ions, under- the fur coverlet. “He’s distressed about his waist-line. Sit down, John, but not in that chair. This is the only one Robert really trusts.” She gestured. Peach-colored chiffon in a fan of tiny pleats fell back from her rounded arm. Her long, very deep blue eyes moved from John to Gay. “You must have enjoyed the country. I expected you yesterday. What have you done to make yourself look so blowsy, Gay? Your face is as red as a to mato.” “Couldn't you have said as red as a Christmas rose? You have no po etry in your soul. She looks as though she would have, doesn’t she, John? Look at her. Peach-blossoms and spun-glass and as practical as a garden rake.” “Rake?” her mother queried, laughing. “I don’t demand a great deal of filial respect but aren’t you carrying matters a little too far?” “Much too far,” John said. His laughter mingled with the feminine laughter chiming in the dainty lux urious room. He relaxed in the chair, which looked fragile but was comfortable, and lit a cigarette. “Thank heaven, there’s a little chivalry left in the world.” Kitty Cameron’s sparkling glance rested upon John for a moment, then turned to Gay. “But you haven’t answered my question. As a parent I demand to know what -you’ve been up to. John’s ears are purple.” “We drove in with the top down, or rather John drove, and we couldn’t find ear-tabs or a tippet.” Kitty Cameron shuddered. “Have n’t you any sense?” “It was marvelous, except that John has a mania for speed which I’ve never suspected. I was certain we’d spend his last night here in a magistrate’s office.” “Are you leaving tomorrow?” “Tonight, Mrs. Cameron.” “Must you, John?” Gay’s eyes clouded. The brightness dimmed out of her face. “Must, Gay. I’ve overstayed my leave of absence by one day al ready.” “The late sleeper, then.” “Yes," he said, mid was silent! “Oh, that’s really too bad.” Kitty Cameron’s expression was dis tressed. “I expected you to stay over the week-end, at least. If I’d had any idea—” “What have you been up to, Moth er?” Gay asked. “You’ve no idea how guilty you look.” “It’s Robert.” She sighed, then smiled. “I learned long ago that surprises are usually not appreciat ed.” “Has Robert planned a surprise for us?” “He has made arrangements to take us for dinner and dancing at the Heron Club.” “That was dear of him,” Gay said slowly, “but—” “I told him he should consult you. Well, don’t think of it again. Rob ert will be disappointed and what he’ll say to the others—But that’s his predicament.” “The others? Is it a party?” “Ten, I believe. Tory Wales and her fiance and Peter and Con nie Belmont and—” Gay’s eyes met John’s In dismay. “We should have stayed in the country,” die said. “Robert wanted to do something for you, Gay.” KitQr Cameron’s tone held a faint rebuke. “I appreciate that. But John’s last night—A party!” “You’ve never shown any dislike for parties” her mother said mild ly. “On the contrary— But you needn’t. , Robert was letting off steam. He was so incensed yester day when your Aunt Flora was here. She has the ability to stir up antag onism in even Robert’s genial soul.” The laughter, the gaiety had gone out of her voice. John saw that her contentment was shattered. She glanced at him guardedly, wonder ing, he knew, what effect further discussion of their situation would have upon him. He smiled, but, studying her expression, he knew that he had failed to reassure her completely. “I know how it irritates you to be questioned,” she said, obviously choosing her approach with care. “But under the circumstances, Gay—” “We have no definite plans.” “Then you won’t be married this winter?” 1 “No,” Gay said and was silent; “But I thought— You told me—” “That Dad was wangling a place for John in the research department at Johns Hopkins,” Gay said evenly. “Wasn’t he successful? I should think that considering what his Ia- She laughed and lengthened her stride to match his. ther did for the hospital, there should be no question of a refusal.” “There will be an opening at the first of the year.” ' “But I am not free to accept it, Mrs. Cameron,” John said. "I’m obligated until October." J “Couldn’t some arrangement be made?” “I’m afraid not.” He knew that his voice expressed the resentment he felt. He had no reason to feel- resentful, he told himself. Cray’s mother had every right to malde in quiries. But he had come tot fear the effect upon Gay, upon himself, of further useless discussion. It was only by avoiding any reference to the future that they had maintained, these past two days in the country, a close and intimate companionship. It was his fault. The sense of in adequacy he felt was deeply humili ating. How could he make Gay’s mother understand the nature of his obligation, the impossibility of buy ing his release? Buy his release? he thought bitterly. Permit Gay to buy it for him— In the silence which followed his reply, he saw Kitty Cameron turn with a baffled expression to her daughter. “But, Gay—” she began. “Does it matter, Mother, except to John and to me?” Gay sat forward in her chair, her color heightened, her attitude defensive. “Other peo ple have had to wait. John knows best what his obligations are. If I’m willing to—” She dropped back into the chair with a short mirthless laugh. “After all the fuss there’s been, I can’t understand why you try to rush us into marriage!” ‘T m not trying to rush you into anything. I’m merely trying to find out, if I can, what you expect to do.” “Whatever I do needn’t interfere with your plans, Mother. You’ve accepted the Davenports* invitation, haven’t you?” I “Tentatively. But you wouldn’t enjoy it, darling. A six ‘weeks’ cruise. No young people and the Davenports aren’t stimulating com pany.” “Besides which, I haven’t beeu invited. Go, of course, Mother. The Davenports are dull but you and Robert enjoy yourselves wherever you are.” “But what will you do?” Kitty Cameron’s glance, a little embar rassed, he thought, turned to John. “I don’t suppose all of this !is very entertaining to John” Ly , “Why not?” Gay folded her arms beneath her head. “I can go to Daytona with Atmt Flora.” “You couldn’t, Gay!” “No, I guess you’re right. Well, I could go to Italy with Dad, though he doesn’t really want me. When I’m with him he thinks he should do things to entertain me. He’s much happier poking around in art muse ums and book-shops and cathedrals alone.” “David was boro a bachelor,” Da vid Graham’s former wife said with out rancor, in indulgent extenua tion. “He’s always happier alone, though when I made that possible the heavens fell.” Her attention re turned to the subject under discus sion. “I want to know that you are provided for, before I accept the Davenports’ invitation definite ly. You always have invitations.” “I’ll visit Tory in Palm Beach. It’s usually amusing there,” she said with a forced gaiety which struck through John’s heart in a stab of quivering pain. “I, in Palm Beach, John, in Maine. You and Robert, cruising with the Daven ports. May we all survive!” Kitty Cameron regarded her daughter thoughtfully, her brow be neath the soft waves of her amazing hair, puckered in lines of doubt. As she opened her lips to speak, the telephone rang. She took the instru ment from the table beside -the chaise-longue. “Hello . . . Yes, darling,” John heard her say. “Yes, they’re here. John is leaving tonight . . . No, I had no idea . . . Of course I’ve told them . . . Wait a minute . . . It’s Robert,” she said. “What shall I tell him? Do you want to go to the Heron Club?” “Shall we, John?” Gay’s eyes met his, glancingly, clouded at what she read in his face. “If you would like to, Gay.” The constraint in his voice ended her indecision. It was his fault, he thought. miserably. He bad de stroyed their plans for the evening, the plans they had made driving in from the country this afternoon. In silence he saw her raise her head. “We’ll go,” she said, too lightly, too quickly. “Tell Robert we’d love to, Kitty.” Kitty Cameron’s lips parted as though she meant to speak. Then her brow cleared. Her shoulders under the peach-colored negligee made a faint shrugging motion. She spoke into the transmitter. The orchestra made preliminary sounds, then swung smoothly, in gratiatingly, into a waltz. The blond, burly young Ekiglishman leaned across the long table toward Gay. “This is my dance, I think,” he said with a slightly formal inclina tion of his head. The sandy-haired young man whom John had not met before this evening intervened. “My dance, Gay. You promised.” “Gay saves her waltzes for me,” Robert Cameron said from the end of the table. “She doesn’t trust my foot-work in anything more mod ern.” “What it is to be popular!” Tory Wales sighed in laughing derision (TO BE CONTINUED) ‘Back Door That Sticks* Can Be Easily Repaired Damp weather is most often the cause of sticking doors. Absorption of moisture results in the swelling of the framework and door and fre quently causes the paint or varnish to soften and become sticky. If the door has an even margin along the top and bottom edges and if the hinges are firm it will be necessary to plane either the hinge or lock edge. Usually it is best to plane the hinge edge, as the hinges are more easily removed and re mortised than the lock. Care should be taken not to plane off too much wood, however. If a door is too tight on the hinge edge and binds against the- hinge jamb the hinges will loosen unless the condition is promptly remedied. Where the door has plenty of clearance on the lock side and the pin seems to move slightly when the door is closed, loosen both hinges at the frame and insert card board under the jamb leaves along the outer edges. If upon tightening the hinges and closing the door the margins are more uniform and the pins.do not move the repairs should be permaneift.. When the door has sprung inward or outward at the hinge edge as a result of warping it will be almost impossible to close it without exert ing considerable pressure against the bulging part. This difficulty is generally overcome by putting on an additional hinge midway between the other two to Iiold the door stra ig h t,^ . . . _ ^ IATTERNh ‘ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJ F PARTM ENT 0 «*£r \ f o T-8 111 R- *4 TM j I r -W lj 1 C1I v iV 0 : 'i lV * E-Ii t'-flb 6679 IF YOU have weight to consider, 1 you couldn’t choose a more at tractive and becoming fashion than this gracious, softly detailed lress (8679) with high-cut front panel that diminishes the waist line and flattens the diaphragm.

There’s Henri de Kerillis, French Nationalist deputy, recently arrived in Ottawa in behalf of General De Gaulle’s die-hard committee. On December 22, 1939, M. De Keril lis published in his newspaper “Epoque” a minutely detailed ac count of a conspiracy to oust Pre mier Daladier and install Marshal Petain in that office. He wrote: “The object of this conspiracy is to convince the greatest and most famous of military chiefs—Marshal Petain—that he must resign himself to accepting the premiership in a government of national union in which the most notorious defeatists are to be included. According to the conspirators, the old marshal un consciously will have to play a role analogous to that of Hindenburg, opening the road to Hitler in a mo ment of discouragement. And by his presence alone, he will neutral ize our military chiefs.” In Ottawa, hi. De Kerillis says, “Marshal Petain is not a traitor. He did not know when he capitulated that he would go to war with England, tomorrow with the United States, and the next day with Russia. He did not know that when one is in the hands of the Germans one cannot stop.” As a journalist and nationalist deputy, M. De Kerillis has been a spokesman for French Nationalist opinion for many years. He was a lone voice supporting General De Gaulle in 1934, when the latter was pleading for a mechanized army to meet the German onslaught. He has vehemently denounced both Communist and Nazi subversive in fluences. In a review of his activi ties, one utterance of Adolf Hitler, as reported by Dr. Rauschning, has been pertinently quoted: “Our strategy will destroy the enemy from within and oblige him to conquer himself. Everywhere in the country of the enemy we will have friends who will aid us.” A /fRS.

Los Angeles26 Years a First rounds o u t FUghterrY etShy her first 26 O f Control Stick Z%aT* asfirst - flight- er.” She has flown in planes, glid ers, Zeppelins and free balloons, on notable first flights whenever pos sible, but has never touched the con trol stick. She says she has no in terest in mechanics or mechanical problems. She is the widow of George L. Adams, a millionaire tanner of Pennsylvania who died in 1929, leav ing her an ample fortune with which to indulge her favorite pastime. Mrs. Adams was born in Cincin nati, the daughter of Walter Grabau, a music teacher. In 1914, at the age of 15, she had her first plane ride at Lake Eustis, Fla., with Wal ter E. Johnson at the controls. Since then, her mother has complained that there’s no keeping her down to earth. She was a passenger on the first transatlantic trip of the Graf Zeppelin in 1928, and in 1932 on the giant plane Domier Do-X on its flight from Rio de Janeiro to New York: In 1936 she crossed the Pacific on the first China Clipper; and, also in that year, she was on the ill-fated Zeppelin Hinden burg when it crossed to this country. She saw it burn a year later. In 1937 she made a round- trip non-stop flight from New York to Bermuda, and July 15 of last year landed back in Newark after a flight around the world in 16 days, 19 hours and 4 min utes—a record for globe girdling. She is 5 feet, 11 inches, tall and has what she describes as a "string- bean figure suitable for flying.” She has gray eyes and reddish- brown hair, dresses simply and at tractively. ♦---- TT IS perhaps just as well that Carl Brisson, Danish film star, has landed safely in America. He once popped the Crown Prince Wil helm on the nose, and there’s no telling but that Herr Hitler has that somewhere in his bring-up file. Born Carl Pedersen, the big, handsome Carl Brisson was welterweight champion of Denmark at 15 and later middleweight champion of Eu rope. After fighting 72 professional ring battles, he became a star of vaudeville and musical comedy. He discovered Greta Garbo.

The appointment of Windsor to this post was one of the most sensational moves In recent diplomatic history. The duke and “Wally” are shown above. They will arrive in the Bahamas for their new duties some time next month. 4F. D. R.’ Library Becomes Museum for U. S. People s h Formal transfer of the newly completed “Franklin D.

This ‘Haymaker’ Explosive Was No Dud No dud was this lethal missile which Ken Overlin, middleweight boxer, explodes against the chin of Hary Balsamo, his opponent, in a 10-round charity non-title bout in New York city. This fight action was caught by the 1/100,OOOth-of-a-second photographic speed of the camera. The bout ended in the ninth round with a knockout victory by Overlin. Women Pray for Future of France In France’s most tragic period since its defeat by the Prussians in 1871, women gather in tearful prayer before the Memorial to the World War Dead at Bordeaux. With complete military collapse, the French cabinet, headed by Marshal Henri Petain, formed a government along Fascist principles like their conquerors, the totalitarian states, eliminat ing President Lebrun. ‘Business as Usual’ A member of the crew of a British fighting plane, holds one of the plane’s carrier pigeons in one hand, and in the other the egg laid by the pigeon while the plane was in action over Germany’s Heligoland, In the Army Now FIRST-AID fu the AILING HOUSE by Roger B VVbitmon Winthrop Rockefeller, scion of the oil fortune, is pictured at the “sec ond table” pitching into his food at the army training camp at Platts burgh, N. Y. Soiled Wallpaper. Q UESTION: Wallpaper and ceil ing near one of our hot water radiators are darkened by a soot like deposit. Sometimes there is an odor in the room that resembles that of sediment of a hot water tank. Can these annoyances be remedied? Answer: The soiling of the wall paper is due to dust carried up by the cinrrent of hot air rising from the radiator. The odor is very like ly to be due to the repeated heating of dust and other material in the lower part of the radiator. Both of these troubles can be eliminated by keeping all parts of the radiator thoroughly clean. Soot Removers. Question: Would you please ad vise me the name of the powder that is used in oil burner furnaces to destroy soot and carbon? Where can I purchase this powder? Answer: There are various makes of powder sold as soot removers. They can usually be had from any of the oil burner dealers. The best way to get rid of a deposit of soot is with brushes or a vacuum clean er. Heavy and frequent depositing of soot in a boiler is an indication of faulty adjustment in the oil burner, which should be corrected. i Stuck Stopper. Question: The glass stopper of a large cut-glass bottle is stuck fast. How can I loosen it? Answer: One thing to try is to put a drop or two of glycerine at the joint; in a day or two the glycerine may work down enough to loosen the stopper. Another idea is to ex pand the neck of the bottle by heat ing without expanding the stopper. For this hold the bottle horizontally and dribble some hot water over the neck. This must be carefully done, for otherwise there is a chance that sudden expansion would break the bottle. OUy WaUpaper. Question: A small lamp was placed so close to a wall that oil from the lamp shade ran into the wallpaper. How can I remove it? Answer; Cover the *il spots with a paste made of a non-burning spot removing liquid and fuller’s earth, powdered chalk, or some similar powder. AUow to remain until dry and then remove by brushing. If the waUpaper is soiled, this wiU leave a noticeable clean spot, in which case you should go over all of the wallpaper with a wallpaper cleaner to be had at a hardware store. Noisy Water Pipes. Question: Whenever a faucet is opened or closed, there are unpleas ant noises from the air in the pipes. How can this be overcome? Answer: H the noise is a rattle that occurs when a faucet is opened, the cause is a worn or loose washer. Replacing the washer will stop the noise. If the noise occurs when the faucet is being closed and is worse when the faucet is closed abruptly than when the closing is slow, the trouble is from lack of an air cush ion to take up the momentum of the water. This is something that can be corrected by any plumber. Sound-Proofing CeiUngs. Question: In my apartment the ceiling plaster was replaced by in sulating board. What can I do to make it more sound-proof? Answer: Sound-proofing an apart ment ceiling is a difficult thing to do, because much of the sound trav els through the framework of the building. It will help to put on an extra ceiling of the same kind of board that is now used, supported on furring strips one inch thick. Heavy felt should be laid on both sides of the furring strips to give addition al sound-proofing. Poplar Stumps. Question: How can I get rid of poplar stumps? Answer: Saw the stumps off close to the ground, bore as many and as deep holes into them as possi ble, fill and refill with kerosene un til the wood is. well soaked; then build a fire on each stump to ig nite the oil-soaked wood. Do not do this if there is anything nearby that might be harmed, for the heat will be intense. For an alternative, dig out a stump for as far below the ground as convenient, and cover with earth; poplar is a soft wood that rots quickly. Beach Cottage Walls. Question: Wliat would you recom mend for the inside walls of a beach cottage? Outside walls are pine boards, shingled. Answer: You should use a kind of stiff insulating board that is moisture proof and that will not shrink and swell in the damp air near the shore. Some makes of these boards can be had with a protective treat ment of asphalt. Follow the manu facturer’s directions in filling the joints. For a finish, put on a first coat of aluminum paint, which can be followed by painting or paper ing. Cats. " ; \ . Question: 'How can I keep cats from digging up and destroying my yard? Answer: Spray the yard with a so lution of nicotine sulphate, which can be had at any seed or hard ware store. This is an insecticide, and will not harm vegetation; but cats and dogs hate the bdor. to Roger B. Whitman—WNU Servfcea G IVE your home that luxurious air and at little cost, too.

X T O V V T IT EiSlS By VIRGINIA VAtE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) WHEN you see P a r a m o u n t’s “A rise My Love,” with Claudette Col bert and Ray Milland, you’ll m iss the most thrilling thing th at has happened so far in the filming of the picture. It occurred in the scene where M illand, Miss Colbert and Garland Lincoln, a veteran Hollywood stunt pilot, are scuffling beside a plane; Miss Col bert, who plays an American news paper woman in Paris, has a port able typewriter, and Milland is bat tling with Lincoln. Just as Milland struck Lincoln, a mechanic inside the cockpit of the plane knocked one of the throttles forward. The right motor was run ning. and the plane swung around, striking Milland and knocking him to the ground. Wires braced to the tail surface gashed his leg. He insisted that he could continue working, after a doctor had dressed his leg, but Director Mitchell Leisen sent him home and shot around him for the next few days. They’re de-beautifying Louise Platt for “Captain Caution,” be cause Bill Madsen, head makeup artist at the Hal Roach Studios, thinks that the average young screen actress, after being made up, looks just like all the other young ac tresses in the cast. So he did things to her that hadn’t been done for her previous screen aopearances. She’s always tried to hide her high forehead; he empha- LOUISE PLATT sized it. She has a distinctive mouth, strong and wide—he did very little to it,, instead of cutting it down. He gave her a complete new jaw line, took some of the spar kle out of her eyes by using small, heavy eyelashes at the ends of her own. And that’s the way you’ll see her, playing “Corunna,” a strong- willed, determined girl who helps to fight the war of 1812. The artificial fog that hong like blown flour over the “Captain Cau tion” set at Hal Roach Studios dur ing the shooting of several se quences bothered members of the cast and crew; they complained that the oil mixture left a bad taste in their mouths. So the special effects men, always obliging, introduced vanilla into the fog. The result was worse than ever— even roast beef and ham sandwiches tasted like vanilla. The next day plain fog was used again, and cast and crew did no more complaining. By this time motion picture stars ought to know what to expect if they go to South America. (Remember Robert Taylor’s visit?) The enthu siastic fans practically mob them, but the stars seem to love it. Errol Flynn is the latest of the visitors to find out how popular he is. In Port au Spain, Trinidad, at least 3,000 people stormed the airport to see the star of “The Sea Hawk” ; later, while Flynn was dining, part of the crowd broke through police lines in the hotel lobby and streamed into the restaurant, over turning tables and chairs. A splin tered chair gashed Flynn’s leg so badly that it had to be stitched up. His clothes were almost torn from his back. A£ Bahia 4,000 fans greeted his arrival. That’s the way it’s gone everywhere .that he went—it’s hard on the wardrobe, but fine for the box office! Recently Frances Langford was just about to go on in the Star Thea ter program when she was notified that her husband, Jon Hall, had been injured in a powder explosion. Without being able to learn just how seriously he had been hurt Miss Langford sang her song and read her comedy lines, and then rushed to the hospital.

There are stews and stews, of course—lamb stews with feathery light dumplings and an assort ment of vegeta bles to add flavor (and vitamins!); hearty Mulligan stews; and stews of chicken that masquerade under all sorts of fancy names. There are even “Cinderella Stews,” which start out as leftovers and end up as a well-seasoned one- dish meal. Remember that “serving a stew” is an economical measure, and a time-saving one, as well. Stews and m eat pies usually make use of the less expensive cuts of meat. Their preparation is simple, and they make a satisfying “One-dish meal,” indeed. Lamb Stew With Mint Dumplings. Va cup butter 2Vz pounds lamb (cut in pieces) 4 cups boiling water 1 tablespoon salt Va teaspoon pepper Va cup carrots (sliced) 3 cups potatoes (cut in cubes) 3 onions (sliced) 1 % cups tomatoes (canned) Va cup flour Va cup cold water Heat butter in large saucepan. Add meat and brown. Add boiling water, and seasonings; cover. When boiling, reduce heat and simmer V& hours. Add vegetables and continue cooking slowly for I hour. Mix flour and water to a paste and add slowly. Cook, stirring constantly until thick ened. Increase heat and when boil ing vigorously add dumplings. Mint dumplings: 2 cups bread flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt Vt cup lard 2 tablespoons fresh mint or pars ley (chopped) % cup milk (approximately) Sift together dry ingredients, cut in fat and add chopped mint. Add milk and mix gently with a fork. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling stew. Cover and continue to steam for 15 minutes without lifting the cover. One-Dish Sunday Dinner. For a practical, one-dish meal that can be left simmering while one is in church on Sunday, chicken Tice pilaff is unsurpassed. Cut a 3-pound chicken in pieces and fry in butter to a golden brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. When nearly brown drain off all but Va cup fat, add an onion, finely sliced, a little chopped parsley and Vz of a bay leaf and fry 10 minutes longer.. Wash 2 cups rice and spread over the chicken; add 4 cups boiling water, one small sliced tomato (or 2 tablespoons canned to matoes) and I teaspoon salt. Stir gently; cover, bring to a boil and then simmer for one hour. A small family might have the best parts of the chicken fried one day, and the rest cooked this way the next day, using only I cup of rice and 2 cups of water. Lamb Riblet Stew. (Serves 4 to 5) 4 pounds lamb riblets (rib ends of breast of lamb) 4 tablespoons fat 3 Vz cups waterI tablespoon salt Vz teaspoon pepper 5 medium size onions (peeled) 5 medium size potatoes (pared) 3 carrots (scraped, and cut in halves lengthwise) Have butcher remove breast bone from .breast of lamb, and cut be tween rib ends to form finger-like pieces. Wipe meat with a damp cloth, dry, and brown in hot fat. Drain off the fat, and add 314 cups of water to the meat. Cover, and simmer for one hour. Add season ings and the onions, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Then add potatoes and carrots. Cover, and cook for 30 minutes longer. Pour off the gravy, and add a tablespoon of * Wj T with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a paste. Cook, stirring con stantly, until the gravy thickens. Ar range lamb riblets in the center of a serving platter with the vegeta bles around the sides. Pour-gravy over top. ... Creole Chicken Gumbo File. 1 4-pound chicken Flour, salt, pepper Vz pound lean ham 2 tablespoons lard or butter I onion (chopped) 1 /sprig thyme I bay leaf I tablespoon parsley (minced) Garlic, amount you like, rub bow] Va red pepper pod, without seeds Boiling water I dozen shrimp or more Creole Gumbo File Clean and cut up chicken as for a fricassee. Dredge with flour, salt and pepper. Cut ham into small dices. Place lard or butter in soup kettle or deep stewing pot and when hot put in the chicken and ham. Cover close ly and brown for 5 to 10 minutes. Then add onion, parsley, garlic and thyme, stirring occasionally to pre vent burning. When nicely browned, add boiling water just to cover chicken. Add bay leaf broken very fine—and red pepper pod. Lower flame and allow Gumbo to simmer gently until chicken is tender—2 to 4 hours. Remove carcass and bones. Just before serving, add 2 dozen shrimp, diced. Heat through thor oughly. Remove from flame and add Vz tablespoon to 2 tablespoons of Gumbo' File. Brunswick Stew. Put one gallon of water in a large iron pot, bring to a boil, and add one tablespoon of salt. Add one onion minced fine, one pint of shelled butter beans, six potatoes peeled and sliced, six ears of corn cut from the cob, one-half pound of fat salt pork or bacon cut into shreds, one- half teaspoon each of black and cay enne pepper.

Cov er closely and stew very slowly for two hours, stirring occasionally from the bottom. Stew one hour longer, add two teaspoons of white sugar and one quart of tomatoes peeled and sliced. Ten minutes be fore serving add one-fourth pound of butter cut into bits and rolled in flour. Bring to a boil again and serve on soup,plates with dry rice. This is a dish men like and one they can excel in preparing. Mulligan Stew.

LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for August 4 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se* lected and copyrighted by International Council of ReUgious Education; used by permission* THE TWO WATS LESSON TEXT — Psalm I: Matthew 7:24-27.GOLDEN TEXT—For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of ’ the ungodly shall perish.—Psalm 1:6. The most important thing in life is living. That is not an attempt to make a striking statement, but a sincere effort to present a fact which too often escapes our atten tion. We are so concentrated upon making a living, or making money, or making a name for ourselves, that we Often fail to make a life. God is more concerned about what we are than what we do. There are only two ways—the right way and the wrong way. We build our life either on the true foundation or the false. There is no middle way, no half-good founda tion. We. must choose, and it is either one or the other. I. Two Roads (Ps. I). Scripture is not at all concerned about mixing figures of speech, so long as the truth is graphically ex pressed and fully understood. Here it speaks of a man walking in the way, a tree planted by a river, the chaff of the threshing floor; -and then returns to the figure of walking in the way. All of these present the same truth, for essentially the idea is that of the two ways in which men walk. 1. Choosing the Way (w . I, 4, 6 ). Even the choice of his way of life marks a man as either blessed or wicked. Some seem to think that they can choose or just drift into the wrong way and still have hope that all will be well. Their choice, or their failure to choose, has put them in the one class or the other. Making a choice is a vital and serious matter. Let'us do it care fully. Walking in the counsel or philosophy of the wicked soon re sults in a man lingering in the way of sinners, and before he is aware of it he will find himself so at home, that he will sit among them and scoff. 2. Continuing in the Way (w ; 2-4). The m an who will permit the law of God to control every detail of life night and day will never go astray, but will prosper in every thing he does. Observe that to pros per does not necessarily mean to have money, position or recognition in this world. It means to be a suc cess in the thing which God has given one to do. Much that this world calls pros perity is nothing but an empty show, while at the same time some lives which the world says have been wasted are prosperous in the sight of God because His will has been done. 3. At the End of the Way (w . 5, 6 ). Every road of life comes to an end. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb. 9:27). Ah yes—the judgment —what will it be in your life and in mine? . The wicked cannot stand in the presence of the divine Judge. AU the bold front and boastful talk which went over so weU before men, loses its flavor and the wicked man can only expect judgment. It is a dark and dreadful scene, but man need not go in the way which- ends there, but may turn to God in faith and repentance. H. Two'Houses (Matt. 7:24-27). Two men bufld houses evidently much alike, but we find that there is a great difference between them. I. The BuUders (w . 24, 26). “Wise” and “foolish” are the build- ers, and what made them so was their choice of a foundation. No m atter how brilliant a man may seem to be in the learning of this world, if he rejects God’s Word he is foolish and bound to suffer the loss of everything. 2. The Foiuidations (w . 24, 26). The foundation' of life is reaUy everything. Built on the sands of human phflosophy or personal de sire and in the rejection of God’s wiU, man prepares only for disaster. But—and here is a glorious thought —the Son of God says that if a’man wiU hear His sayings and build on them, no storm can destroy his buUding.. Blessed assurance! 3. The Testing (w . 25, 27). The time of testing always comes. It may come early in life,-or it may be delayed, but be certain that it wiU come. To the beUever in Christ it is only that—a testing, to prove that his house wiU stand. But to the one who has rejected Christ th'e testing time brings dreadful de struction. -a- Shining in the Heart God, who commanded the Ught to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Ught of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.—n Corin- thians 4:6. There’s the Danger If men make their plan of serv ice and then ask God to help them, they may, by that very assertion of self, quench the Holy Spirit. 4 - Ruth Wyeth Spears <±3$ !(Ji □ Lii (NECK FINISHED AND SLEEVES STITCHED IN BEFORE UNDER RM SEAMS ARE SEWN UP< 'ALL SEAM EDGES PINKED BOTTOM PINNED FIRST THEN TOP-PINS ARE REMOVED AS TOP IS STITCHED QUICK VVirHEN war came to Finland a ’ ’ Red Cross group to sew for refugees was started in our com munity.
