And the dope that they hand them Is to At them as their tools. The above Dunk parody came in­ to mind while reading Mr. Heniy Wallace’s speech as delivered be fore the students of Tuskegee In stitnte, of Alabama, in which Mr. Wallace said: "Almost all, if not all, the propaganda about superior racial stock has no basis in scienti. Ge fact. There is little scientific evidence to show that one racial stock is superior to another.” Xlus is the same Mr. Henry who for a number of years has been ad- Clarence .Archibald, from HiRb jvertising a “special breed of corn,” Point, was in town Thursday sbak ing hands with friends.

Send your son or daughter The Record while away at college. 50c. which he claims to be much super­ ior to ojber “races or breeds,” in that it is more prolific and gives a greater yield per acre. And by the way, Mr. Henry was at the same time going over the country advo­ cating means and methods to “cut down the yield of corn,” and did assist in getting laws passed to re strict planting, and destroy what was planted. However, this is be­ side the point. The main idea is. that he did, and does, recognize 'superior race” In the vegetable kingdom. And being an expert farm adviser, he surely would not tell the farmers to go back to the old three-quart a-day milch cow, or the long nose “pine rooter” hog, the fifty-egg a year hen, etc. Giv­ ing him credit for that much com­ mon sense, we must then conclude that he recognizes racial superior­ ity in the .animal kingdom., But when it comes to the human spec­ ies, and when be is making a vote getting talk before an audience that HAS been recognized bv the fore­ most scientists, as well as the world in general, as somewhat inferior, Mr. Wallace can see no difference. Using the late Booker T. Washing­ ton as a model to illustrate the qualities of a race is unscientific, as well as unreasonable. Washing, ton, in his autobiography, admits that his father was a white man He was, tbeiefore, a half-breed and not a true representative of any race. And we wonder how Mr. Wallace would come out were he to go before some of the “scien tists” and tell them that the Dig­ ger Indians as found in California, or some of the races of tne Congo were equal to any other race! The writer hopes that Mr. Wallace will pull the Negro vote, and we be­ lieve his political party will do as much for them as any other party.. But It is pitiful and painfnl that a man of his intelligence and stand ing shonld come into the South and spread a false theory that be him­ self surely cannot believe. A DEMOCRAT SUBSCRIBER. Gets a $46 Tip. Detroit.—Etbel Gaff, 19 -vear-old Ft. Wayne, Ind., hotel waitress, needn’t worry about the $4 6 left on the table from which Henry Ford and; bis party ate a four-dollar luncheon. It was the change from a $ 5 0 bill which was paid for the luncheon, and it’s all her. Miss Gaff was reported in doubt as to whether the money was a tip or whether the automobile manu. facturer bad just forgotten it in his hurry to resume his motor trip after lunching in Ft. Wayne. “I paid the check, and I left the money purposely as a tip for the young lady,” Harry Bennett,, per* sonnel director of the Ford Motor Company, said yesterday. “She did a very good job in taking care of us, and particularly in keeping curiosity seekers away from Mr. Ford.” BUYER MEETS C r I I r P IN OUR AD O L L L L fx colum ns.

Drinking drivers were responsible for 48 streets and highways fatill- ties in North Carolina the fiTst six months of this year, according to a summary just completed by the Highway Safety Division. . Ronald Hocutt, director of the division, said the accident record^ for the first half of t940 sbow that 50 drunken of. drinking drivers were solved in 42 fatal accidents in which 4 8 persons were killed. “The drinking driver is not the most numerous type of offender on our highways,” commented Hocutt, “'but he certaiuly is the most dangerous. Tbe person'who has taken any alcohol beverages in­ to his system, even one drink of liquor, is a. highly potential men­ ace to every other person using the highway on which be drives. Al­ cohol sometimes stimulates those who drink tt, causing them to be come exhilarated and a little more reckless than usual. Then again it sometimes has a depressing effect, and produces drowsiness Still a gain, liquor often confuses and be fuddles the mind and impairs the vision. And it always affects the driver’s reaction time, hampering the coordination between mind and muscle that is so essential in safe driving.” Safety Director Hocutt strongly advises all individuals who do any 'drinking to gel someone else to do their driving for them.

(Greensboro Record) Something rather extraordinary, and a hit droll, in the way of mar­ riage reporting comes out of the West. The editor of a small-town news, paper in Iowa, the Augusta Union, considering that bridegrooms usual­ ly are accorded but scant attention by society news reporters decided be would vary the rule somewhat when, recently, it became his time to enter into the joys and delights of matrimonial bliss. .Under the captiou, “Ye Editor Takes Himself a Bride,” he wrote, for his own newspaper, the follow­ ing: Clarence (Tudy) Rogers, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Rogers, of Ossea, became the husband of Miss Margaret Gilbertsod. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Gilbertson, of Augusta, in a beautiful ring cere mony Saturday noon, June 22 , be­ fore a justice of peace at Waukon, Iowa. "Blushing prettily, he replied to the questions of the justice in low but firm tones, never indicating that he noted the omfssion of the ‘obey’ questions in the bride’s an­ swers. “He was attractively attired in a three-piece suit of black pin stripe woolen material, consisting of coat, vest and pants. The coat was charmingly festooned with' a 'white flower in the left buttonhole. “The vest was sleeveless, closed in the front and gracefnlly fashion­ ed with pockets. It was held to­ gether in the back with a strap and bnekle. “His pants were neatly pressed for the occasion and he wore them with an air as if he little suspected it would be the last time he ‘wore the pants’ in that family as the familiar expression goes. “Hose and necktie added just the right dash of color to complement the effect. Shoes were of genuine leather, laced with strings of the same color, giving a chic effect.” Snake-Owning Parson Face Murder Charge. Elige Bowling, a preacher of Hydeti1 Ky , is' under $5 ,0 0 0 bond pending grand jury action on a murder charge in tb£ death of Mrs. Clark Napier, 40-year-old woman, mother of seven children, who was bitten by a rattle-snake in a reli­ gious meeting near Hyden last Thursday night.

A Policy In Reverse. Mr. Wallace, running for the vice presidency, is in no wise disturbed on atcount of the mounting Na­ tional debt. Admitting that it has been in creased during the Roose elt ad­ ministration b y $22,0 0 0 ,00 0 ,0 0 0 , the candidate decries the fears often expressed by economists and busi­ ness and financial lea ’.ers of the country that the debt has long ago gone by the danger-mark Well, there was a time whe n the present President of the'United States thought that government operated on the principle of debts and deficits was not- only perilous but intolerable. That was in 1932 when Mr. Roosevelt, candidate for the White House for his first term, declared that the debts foisted upon the country by .a Republican adminis­ tration were fast driving the gov ernment to the poor house. If Mr. Roosevelt was afraid of the National debt when it was $22,- 00 0 ,00 0 ,0 0 0 less tban it is today, it’s a bit curious tban his right hand man should profess no sort of fear at all when it reaches the stag­ gering total of more tban /4 5,00 0 ,- 0 0 0 ,0 0 0 as a result Af New Deal spending. —Charlotte Observer WENDELL WILLKIE • “Maybe it is all right for the politicians to assume .flat an order “On Order” far a rifle is the same thing as a rifle.

Did You Ever See A Monntam Move. Ever see a mountain move? What was it the old prophet of the Bible said about it being easier to carry your trouble to the mountain than to move the mountain? What about a moving mountain making trouble for you? But mountains do sometimes move. Southern Railway officials have found it so. Following the second cloudburst and floods in and floods in August maintenance of way men for the railroad found their tracks in the Blue Ridge seven feet out of line and were mystified. Tracks,' electric and telegraph poles and all the surroundings over quite a stretch of the ri^Ht-of-way had moved An investigation was begun and seven foot err ok j was begun and a seven-foot crack was found higher up th e mom:tain showing that about 12 acres of land had slipped seven feet, literally moving a portion of tbe mountain. This phenomenon is just west of Coleman, near Point Lookoii', and it is said the track will have tn be relocated since ihe mouutain mov­ ed.—Ex. Tids and Bits.

On the day tbat Franklin D. Roosevelt transferred tbe imigira. tion to the Department of Justice, the Dies Committee denounced the Department of Justice for failing to act against, criminal aliens. Another reason why Americans hate war—it’s being used as an alibi for tbe New Deal flop. In dealing with Trojan horses in­ side the Government the New Deal is employing methods short of war.

Nat, pulling Skippy in an express wagon, came up to the side of the car. “Hello!” he said, his smile widen­ ing with recognition, displaying a missing tooth. “Pm not Admiral Byrd now that there isn’t any snow.” “Of course not. How stupid of me. I should have known. This is my cousin, Miss Oliver, Nat, and Skippy,” said Gay. “Hello, Nat,” Kate said. “Hello, Skippy.” ‘Hello." Nat grinned again and Skippy ducked his head. 'Ts Dr. Houghton in now?" Gay asked, feeling her heart leap and plunge. “No, he’s not here now.”“You mean he isn’t here at the house?” “He went away last week. Grand­ father came home. He brought me a whole fleet of boats.” ‘Brought me a boat!” Skippy piped up.‘Is your mother here, Nat?” Gay asked.‘Aya, she’s here. She’ll be pleased to see you, I expect. Did you come all the way from New York? ’Course I like boats better on account of my father’s an officer in the Navy but that’s some swell car.” “Drive them around a couple of blocks, will you, Kate.” Gay opened the door and stepped out. “I want to talk to their mother.” ‘Hop in, kids." Kate slipped over under the wheel. “Whoopee!” Nat shouted and Skippy echoed his brother’s enthusi­ asm, then ducked his head again. The long tan roadster moved away from the curb. Gay-walked up the steps of the house and sounded the knocker. Mary Adams herself, opened the door. Her brown face twinkled with pleasure "when she recognized Gay.‘Come in,” she said. “This is a surprise.” The wide hallway was familiar, though now there were peonies and iris in the vases which in March had held bitter-sweet and feathery plumes of pine. Following Mary through the living-room to the porch which faced the lawn, she remem­ bered her last day here, the day after John had brought her in from his mother’s home. They’d been so distant, she and John, polite to each other, unhappy, remote. Mary must have noticed. Was she, too, remem­bering the end of Gay’s visit here? If she remembered, she gave no sign. 'Are you alone?” she asked. “It’s marvgjous to be able to use the porch again. You don’t appreciate this weather unless you’ve spent a winter to Maine.” My cousin is with mej' Kate Oli­ver.”"Oh, I’ve heard John speak of her.” Mary darted up from her chair. “Where is she? Why didn’t you bring her in?”’She’s taking Nat and Skippy for a ride. Mary,” Gay asked, “where is John?”Mary curled herself into a wick­ er chair. “I don’t know exactly,” she said. 'Has he left here,” Gay’s voice faltered, “for good, I mean?” “Yes. He was in Boston last week.” Mary glanced at Gay, then down at her small brown hands. “I know. He wrote me from there.”That there is a chance of his get­ ting in the research department con­ nected with the General Hospital?” Mary asked eagerly. “Father thinks it’s ' fairly certain. John made a splendid impression when he in­terned there." “But since then,” Gay persisted. “He isn’t in Boston now?”We’ve been forwarding mail to bis mother’s. I re-addressed a let­ ter from you this morning. I’ve learned to know your handwriting pretty well. I—” “This morning? A letter?” “Yes. Why?’’ Mary asketj quick­ ly, in surprise.“It was a letter which shouldn’t have been written,” Gay said; “I’ve come to head it off:or explain. Could he be at his mother’s in Rbckland?" 'I doh’t know. Why don’t you—” She paused, then said,'“If you don’t want to go there, or call, I’ll call for you.”1WiH you? I don’t — There are reasons. I'd like to see Debby but I’m sure it would be better if you—” "I will.” She rose, smiled at Gay compassionately and went into the Gay sat on the porch looking out across the sunny lawn where peo­nies bloomed along the fence and the foliage ot a maple tree shaded the children’s sand-box and swing. She was only absently aware of the objects her eyes rested upon. Every nerve, every sense in her body was caught up in a state'of suspense. Had John gone away deliberately, to avoid any move from her? .Was he, by his silence, -making a dean, .break as effectively as she bad meant to make it when she had writ­ ten the letter which Mary, this morning, had re-directed?She started up as Mary returned to the porch. “He isn’t at home,” Mary said. "His mother thinks that he may have gone to a cabin down east near Machias—”“John, is at the cabin?” Gay’s voice was light and breathless. “They aren’t sure. They’ve had no word. They’re holding his mail.” “Of course he has. I didn’t think—” Gay glanced at her watch. "We can make it before night. Thank you, Mary. I must find Kate.” “You’re going there?” Mary asked doubtfully. “It’s a fairly long drive. I had expected that you would stay for lunch, at least.” “No. We’re going. Wish me luck, Mary. Fll need it.” Mary Adams smiled and pressed Gay’s hand. “I think you’ll carry your luck with you,” she said. CHAPTER XVH John placed a log on the fire, went to the doorway, stood looking out across the lake. Dusk was falling. The last reflection of the sunset had faded from the still surface of the water. Across the lake a loon screeched mournfully through the si­ lence. John closed the door and re­ turned to the fire. He should prepare something for supper, he thought, standing ir­ resolutely on the hearth with his back to ffie fire. Funny how he had come to dread getting supper. When that had been accomplished, the day was definitely over and night had -begun. He was-able to get through the day fairly well.' While the sun shone, he made fishing from the ca­ noe or lying on the float an excuse for being out' of doors. But the nights were unbearably lonely. He shouldn't have returned to the cabin. He should have taken the walking trip through Canada which he had half planned when Dr. Sar- geant had insisted that he take a two weeks vacation until the Boston matter was settled one way or an­other. He would be able to make Uie decision he must make more calmly and with less pain anywhere in Uie world except here. The cabin was filled with ghosts of Gay. He saw her everywhere, on the couch with the lamplight falling across her hair; seated on the footstool beside the hearth in a characteristic posi­ tion, her arms hugging her knees; coming out through the door of the bedroom she and Kate had occupied, her face fresh and smiling after a long night of sleep, in a jersey and slacks, a ribbon around her hair . . .He hadn’t expected to feel as he did. He had thought that he would be able to make the decision here. He had not questioned his ability to think clearly and logically, to disci­ pline his emotions. Strange that he had not considered the pignaht insistence of memories, the ghosts of Gay that lived on in the cabin.But he must make a decision. If he secured' this post in Boston, he would have to decide whether he was willing to have her there with him, using her own money to pro­ vide a place for them to live or whether it was wiser, for her ulti­ mate good and his own, to make a definite break and follow, alone, the course he had charted for himself before he had declared his love to Gay. It was all or nothing. There could be no compromise. The next time they met—But would they meet again? He had sensed in her letters a change in her feeling for him since she had returned from her visit to Maine. He couldn’t blame her. It had been pretty awful for her, as estranging as his visit to New York. She loved him. He did not question that. He loved her. But was love enough? Was it as fresh and as steadfast now as it had been here at the cabin last fall? Could any love sur­ vive the misunderstandings, the quarrels, the bickering to which Uieir love had been exposed? Wouldn’t it be better—?He wouldn’t think of it, now. He would build a fire In the kitchen range and prepare supper,-making, a long job of it to keep night from coming too soon.He went out into the dusk, filled a basket with chips and birch logs. None of his senses was secure from ghosts of Gay. The smell of pine needles and freshly chopped wood recalled the night she had Slipped out of the cabin to meet him, the night Todd Janeway had arrived., His eyes lifted above the pile of chips. They had sat there, leaning above the logs. She’d- worn a soft white dress fastened up under her chin andher hair had curled loosely, against her shoulders. He’d loved her so, then. He loved her now. If they might have stayed here— He lit the lamps in the kitchen, laid the fire carefully, taking a great deal of time. Yellow flames curled around birch-logs in the stove. He collected ingredients for flap jacks; butter, milk, flour, eggs— There were the fish he had caught this morning, cleaned and salted, ready for the pan. Commeal, salt pork cut in strips. He placed the fish in the pan. Through the sputtering sound they made, he heard a car coming in the lane. One of the acquaintances he’d made at the store in the village, perhaps young Dr. Reynolds, stop­ ping in on his rounds. Any visitor woidd be welcome. Whoever it was would see the light and come in. He couldn’t leave the fish. He heard the motor of the car race, then die off into silence as an ignition key was turned. That mo­tor! No one of his acquaintances here drove a car with such power. His hand, holding a fork over the fish, was shaking. He turned, his heart thumping, a singing sound in his ears. The kitchen door stood open. He saw her coming toward him through the dusk, funning across the clear­ing, up the steps. “Gay—!” he cried, and plunged forward to open the door. She came into the kitchen, hesi­tantly, as though the sound of his voice had checked the impulse which had brought her swiftly to him through the dusk. “Hello, John,” she said. They stood staring at each other like strangers. “Where did you come from?” he asked at last. “How did you know I was here?” “I wrote you a letter,” she said quietly, “telling you that I was go­ing to mafry Todd.” “I have not received it.”“No, it’s in Rockland.” “Have you been there?” She shook her head. “Mary called your mother for me. She, your moth­er, thought you might be here.” The singing in her ears dimmed her voice to a thread of sound. “But if you wrote me that,” he asked, “why are you here?” - “Because I didn’t mean it. I dis­ covered, after I’d mailed it, that I couldn’t. I tried to get to you before the letter did. I drove last night to Portland,, then on here to­ day.” Her eyes widened, then closed. She swayed, reached out for the table. “John—I” He caught her, held her. She dung to him. They kissed. Pres­ ently she drew away. “Are you glad to see me?” she asked. “Glad! Oh, Gay!” “Will you stiil be glad when I tell you that I’m going to stay?” “Are you?”“Always—as long as you want me.”He looked down into her lifted face, weary but radiant, her eyes shining softly through the tears Uiat misted her lashes. “Will you take a chance, Gay?" he asked gravely. “Can we make a go of it? Will you be happy? In spite of everything Uiat has happened or will happen, do you still want to marry me?” “Darling!” She smiled. “Would I have driven all these miles—?” His lips against hers stilled her voice. They had in that moment of reconciliation, of faith and trust re­ newed, no need for words. His arms, holding her, were strong and secure and safe. Her vital young body pressing close to him, was a prom­ise and an assurance. Moments ticked away unconsidered in the se­cure realization of weeks, months, years stretching in a bright open vista ahead.“I beg your pardon,” a voice said from the door.They drew apart, smiling. Kate came into the kitchen. “It may mean less than nothing to you,” she said, “but something is burning.” * “Good Lord!” John groaned. “It’s the fish!” He glanced around with a dazed expression. Kate caught up a dish­ cloth and grasped the handle of Uie pan. She turned to regard Gay and John with an expression of stud­ied derision which failed entirely' to conceal Uie emotion in her eyes. "Get out of here,” she said. “I’m hungry. I want something that’s fit to eat.”Still fuming, she slapped the pan in the sink. Gay and John looked at each other and broke into laugh­ ter, then, hands joined, went out into Uie dusk.[THE END] fBuilt-In* Type Furniture Is Latest Building Trend Built-in furniture is rapidly in­ creasing in popularity. In planning a built-in corner cupboard, uphoL stored wall seat, or some other piece of furniture, the home owner should decide well in advance about such important details as what fillers, finishing materials and colors to use. According to an authority on hard­wood finishing, it is important that the right fillers be used in accord­ ance with the color and consistency desired, and also that the filler be wiped at the proper time. A filler is basically a mineral pigment such as an asbestos compound, silica, whiting, or clay, bound together with a small amount of vehicle and thinned with gasoline or mineral spirits. There are many finishing materials, and most of them are well known to the home owner. Among those most often used are white and orange shellac, rubbing varnish and spar varnish. Because there is such a wide choice of colors and demands vary so greatiy, each home owner should select the color for his built-in pieces so that they will be in har­mony with the general style of the room. The natural color of wood represents the warm side of the color scale, and, remembering this colors should be selected to con­ form with the usual rules governing good decoration. fouth Without ‘Feeling’ Baffles Physicians The case of'Charles Leonard, In­dianapolis newsboy who is not sen­ sitive to heat or cold, does, not feel pain and can not identify, objects through the sense of touch, is a baffling one for physicians. The 18-year-old carrier, who has been examined at intervals the last two years by medical authorities, apparently has a rare ailment be­ lieved to have been caused by elec­tric shock. -Although his condition causes more'or less discomfort, it is not regarded dangerous. On the other hand, physicians seem unable to discover an effective treatment. In a series of tests given him, it was. determined that toe youth can n<4t distinguish between hot and cold articles and he apparently feels no pain from pinching, pin pricks or even a solid blow. Physicians hand­ed him two test tubes, one extreme­ly hot and the other cold and Leon­ ard could not decide which was the heated one. He says he is aware ot a slap on the back but can not de­ termine, the force of the blow. Likewise, a cut or scratch causes no discomfort other Uian bleeding. I<eonardiexhibited a deep scratch on his left forearm, caused , when he fell against a wire fence and declared he experienced no pain and noticed the injury ohly when the blood started. At the newsstand where he is em­ployed, Leonard said he was scuf­ fling recently with another carrier and jokingly told the youth to “hit me hard.” “The boy hit me on the chin hard epough to jar my head back,” Leon­ard said, “but it didn't hurt a bit. I knew I had been hit, of course, but I couldn’t tell how hard.” Winter and summer are all alike to Leonard, with the exception that in hot weather he occasionally suf­ fers from nose bleed. “I never feel cold in winter, even though I run around most of the time without an overcoat,” he said. “Several times last winter I was out for long periods with no coat and my sleeves rolled up. I didn’t get cold, either.” Leonard experienced the electric shock, which is believed to be the cause of his ailment, about two years ago. He said that while he and a companion were in a factory building that had been damaged by fire he touched some wires that had been exposed when a piece of ma­ chinery was moved from the burn­ing building. “The wires carried 220 volts,” Leonard said. “Soon after the- shock, I discov­ered! had IitUe or no sense of feel­ ing when nfy school teacher pinched me one day. After he had pinched me two or three times, the teacher asked me if I were ‘walking around dead.’ I told him I was not aware that he had pinched me.” Leonard said he had been making regular trips to the hospital several years for a checkup on a heart ail­ ment he has had since childhood. He said physicians have told him his heart condition is not serious and that it probably will disappear after a few years. ’ S tran g e Facts I Large Possessions Five Men to a Tree Early Invitation I I CBased on prewar areas, Hol­land’s colonial empire is 60 times! as large as The Netherlands, the] Belgian Congo is 80 times as large' as Belgium, the French posses-' sions are 22 times as large as' France, and British territory throughout .the world is 140 times as large as Great Britain.

We are waiting to hear from Jira FaHev and John NanceGamer before making any claims as to who will be our next president. We understand that there are three Democratic office-holders in Davie who are supporting Willkie for President. The more the mer­ rier. It is sbid that new Dames are be­ ing added daily to the Federal pay rolls. Thesenames will no doubt be dropped immediately after the election. Both Republicans and Democrats say they are having laree crowds at their Saturday night rallies. With good music, refreshments, and much speaking it shouldn't be any trouble to get the ho vs out. " The campaign is- warming up. Democrats of the New Deal variety declare that Willkie’will not carry more than two or three states, while Republicans say'he will de­ feat Roosevelt. The Hatch bill is going to put a damper on some of our lerding po­ liticians who are on the Federal pav roll. They will have to be very careful in what they say and do for the next few weeks pteceding the election. If the bond issue of $4 0 ,0 0 0 is carried in the coming election, and the tax rate is raised 20 c on the $100 , the man who owns a nice house and lot in the town will only have to pay about $300 extra axes, provided the bonds run for 30 years. We have been told that the work will be done by Federal Aid workers, in teaJ of letting it ont by contract to the lowest bidder. Davie County Republicans have a big fight to make this fall. They will have to work early and late trom now until the.election if they hope to carry the county by a Iig majority.

Even though a blizzard, Subzero weather and snow-clogged roads de­ layed the groom and the wedding, Wendell Wihkie got there just the same—frozen bridal bouquet and all. It was January 14, 1918. Shortly afterward Wendeh Wihkie, already in the Army, left for France.“Wendell Wihkie has never let me down and that’s the best recommen­ dation I 'can give him,” she says simply.After WendeU Wihkie had received the Republican nomination, a dele­ gate remarked: “you’ve got the best man in the field.” “I have not,” Mrs. Wihkie coun­ tered, pleasantly, but firmly. “I have the best man in the. world.”What has the great honor accorded her husband meant to this delight­ ful, diminutive (she’s only five feet, two, and weighs only about 110 pounds) Indiana woman? Has it frightened her? Inspired her? Prob­ ably both.If her husband wants and hopes to be President, it’s pretty breath­taking, of course, but she is equal to the challenge. “I believe it’s a wom­ an’s job to adjust herself to her hus­band’s way of living and help him do what he wants,” is her philosophy of marriage. —International ITews Photo. MRS. WENDELL WILLKIE Mrs.Willkie’s blue eyes are friend­ly, her manner warm and sincere. Her reserve has a practical basis— she is safeguarding her husband’s interests. So she speaks .carefully, choosing her words thoughtfully. She has never made a speech in-her life and hopes she won’t have to. ' Her world revolves around her husband, her son, PhUip, .now 20 years old, and her home, » cheerful New York City apartment where the family has Uved for eleven years. Bookcases fill every available space in the apartment. Her husband’s pet name for her is “BUly.” Some caU WendeU Willkie “Win” —a happy omen for another home address for Mrs. WendeU Willkie, at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washing­ton, D.

If this cannot be done by parity prices, other means’ must be found—with the least possible regimentation of the farmer’s affairs.” Would Not Pay for New DealIn the calendar year 1938 the to­tal income of aU parsons receiving $5,000 and over was $6,528,000,000. If aU such income had been confis­ cated, it would have faUed by one I billion dollars to pay the Federal ex- I penditures of 1938. It would not be ' sufficient by $2,600,000,000 to pay the I Federal expenditures of 1939. I Senator'Charles L. McNary, the RepubUcan nominee for Vice'Presi­dent, demonstrated in his.'Accept­ance Speech that he remains a sym­ bol of Uie pioneering West, believing m progressive but sound ideah of governmentThe Oregor ^n gave the New Deal eredit for trying—but, as he pointed out so forcefully, it has failed to achieve its objectives because of a lack of capacity to govern and be­cause of its “political and economic heresies which have deflected us from our course.” Speaking of the farm -problem, Senator MCNary asserted that "the prosperity of agriculture , should be -the first charge on the. attention of any administration.” ' Those who have followed his career as a battler for the farmer during the last 23 years in the Senate know that Charles McNafy speaks with sin­ cerity on that subject. _!“The New Detd has administered the farm problem for more than seven years,” Senator McNaiy as­serted. “What is the present state of the American termer, who, with his dependents,, makes up a quarter of ,our population?

WPUBLICAfjP IN CONGRESS AID DEFENSE McNary and Martin Blocked Adjournment Effort Before Program Was Complete* PREVENTED LONG DELAY Two Leaders Paved Way for Needed Action Pro* vtding Arms. New Deal efforts again to force an adjournment of Congress recall to mind that last June President Roose­ velt brought pressure to send the na­tional legislative body home. He de­clared he could see no good reason why Congress should not adjourn “except for the no doubt laudable purpose of making speeches.” This move was fought and blocked by House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin, Jr., and Senate Leader Charles L. McNary, now the Repub­ lican nominee for Vice-President. With other Republicans in Congress they believed it was the duty of Con­ gress to be on the job in such critical times. To the far-sighted statesmanship of these two Republican leaders now can go much of the credit for the legislation setting in motion the long delayed national defense machinery. Had Congress adjourned in June when Mr. Roosevelt wanted to get rid of the legislators, there would have been a further delay of months in getting national defense prepara­tions going and the country would be in a far more difficult situation. . For since that time Congress has ,enacted most of the legidation au­thorizing and appropriating money for the war ships, tanks, guns, and airplanes which Mr. Roosevelt now boasts are "on order.” In addition Congress enacted the Conscription Act and the bill authorizing the President to mobilize the National Guard. It also passed the Alien Registration law and a bill taxing excess profits and liberalizing cer­tain laws necessary for the expan­ sion of industry.Martin and McNary remain op­posed to the adjournment of Con­ gress because they believe the leg­islators, under our system of repre­sentative, republican government, should stay on the job when there is business to be done. They do not believe in “one man government” here any more than they approve of it in Europe. For instance, the two Republican leaders contend that Congress should complete passage by the Senate of legislation amending the National Labor Relations Act, already adopt­ed by the House. This, they assert, would be a real contribution to eco­nomic recovery at home. The New Dealers, however, want to end the Congressional session in order to carry on their political campaigns. Their attitude is that recovery and national defense can wait until next year—and that is what they have been saying for seven years. ‘NO WAR’ IS WILLKIE PLEDGE TO NATION Addressing an audience of his fel­low townsmen at Rushville, Indiana, Wendell Willkie made the following unequivocal declaration: “I shall never lead the United States into any European war. "I believe completely that the United States should help Great Britain short of war, but when I say short of war, I mean SHORT OF WAR.” Commenting on the charge of Henry Al Wallace that the Republi­can Party is “the party of appease­ment,” Mr. Willkie said: “If appeasement means working out compromises with dictators; if Mr. Wallace intended to apply that to the Republican Party, he was 100 percent wrong, because if I am elected President of the United States there will be no appeasement with any dictator. “But if Wallace meant to say the Republican Party is the party of peace, then he spoke the truth, be­ cause I shall never lead the United States into any European war.” WENDELL WILLKIE, “The time has now come to re assert the principles of a limited federal government, because if Uus The Federal Octopus. trend is not stopped the people will lose the powers that the Constitution gave them. They will lose them to an all-powerful central govern­ment.” COT Ow! COTTON! E. Pierce Foster Buyers And Ginners Of Cotton Mocksville. N. C. ' Phone 89 Near Sanford Motor Co. If Its Cotton.

It has n ew w ide doors and sem i-concealed running boards. You’ll notice also a new beauty, achieved by a skilful blending of mass with longer flowing lines. Larger wind­ shield and w indow s give bet* ter vision all around. One of its biggest advan­ tages is die new soft ride. New, slower-action springs give a slow, gentle, gliding movement. A new ly designed stabilizer helps absorb road shocks, and maintains bal- ance on sharp curves and in . cross winds.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON(Consolidated Features—WKU Service.)- • NEW YORK.—The urgency of the times is such that perhaps this country needs a good alchemist more than a good five-cent cigar. Good A lchem ist have bone "ta M ight B e O ur Dc. Samuel what appears to this department to be the first soundly conservative sanction for the possible availability of atomic power—power in our time. At the Detroit meeting of the American Chemical society, starting its national defense in­ventory of chemical shills and resources, Dr. Lind reports a startling advance toward the power riches of the metal ura­nium 235. Hit a few atoms of U-235 with 50 electron volts and you draw off 200,004,000 electron volts. It looks like a power mil- lenium, which Ihis country could use just now. Dr. Lind says there is plenty of uranium and that the seizure of its power is a practical possibility, not nul­ lified by high costs of the proc­ess. Cutting the power atom out of the herd of slightly different atoms is the one great remaining obstacle. Dr. Lind has been an ace atom- nucleus bomber for many years. His field of radioactivity has been a zone of wizardry in chemistry and be has turned in much basic re­search, including his ionization the­ ory of the chemical effect of radium rays. He has written extensively on subjects in his field. From his native McMinnville, Tenn., where he was bom in 1879, he went to Washington and Lee uni­versity and the Massachusetts Insti­ tute of Technology, with an educa­ tional chaser at the University of Leipzig and later at the University of Paris. He taught at the Univer­ sity of Michigan, served as chief chemist of the U. S. bureau of mines and is now dean of the institute of technology of the University of Min­nesota.

Now, however, even these trot into the background as he gears up the National Child Refugee committee of which he is chair­ man. His job is to keep well oiled the wheels that roll Eng­ lish children by the thousands out of the reach of Nazi dive bombers. It must keep him whacking away long after the latest fox has taken cover. Just the same (he supplemented were right on one point. He really has hundreds of millions. They pour down from the original Marshall Fields of Chicago.In his middle forties now, Chair­man Field is sturdily handsome, with a grayish pompadour and a big­gish, sharp nose. He dresses well, as he was taught at Eton and Cam­ bridge where he got his schooling, though conservatively. His pants have no cuffs at all. fT lHREE Americans talk up the ' *• war with King George and one is Major General Emmons of the United States air corps. He is one Ma}. Gen. Em m ons SfiH Puzxled as picked by To HfAyoZ1DrfMf P re sid *11' ' Roosevelt awhile back to give the country’s sev­ eral military arms ' extra socko. Fifty-two years old, he has been in the army since 1909; with the infan­try until 1916, when he was switched to the signal corps. That made him a flier because in those dark and stumbling days the signal dorps was all the flying service the United States had. At birth his parents named him "Delos.” Mostly, the Deloses lack adequate explanation of their par­ ents’. curious preference, and. the general belongs to this forever-puz­zled fry. In full his name is Delos CarIeton Emmons. In many given names there is little sense indeed, but in “Delos” there can be no rhyme or reason. This commentator knows one “Delos” who explains feebly that his giv­ en name stems from a French cook. in a Wisconsin lumber camp where his father was fore­ man. No more! Not even that he flipped a noble flapjack.The general has one daughter; she undoubtedly has told him he is- a- man who never leairns. . Because, guess what he named her.

Ro s a lin d r u s s e l l , who considers Columbia her lucky lot, has been signed to play the feminine starring role in that studio’s new comedy, ‘‘This Thing Called Love,” a tale of a six months’ trial marriage which goes on the rocks before it is well launched. Miss Russell will be seen as a brisk and competent insurance executive (and let’s hope she won't over-act, as she sometimes does) and Melvyn Douglas, playing opposite her, will be a mining engineer. A few years ago the beautiful Rosalind was borrowed by Columbia for the title role in “Craig’s Wife," an unsympathetic part, as you’ll probably recall, but in it she proved ROSALIND RUSSELL so conclusively that she could act that the picture gave her a place at the top. She scored another Colum­bia triumph as “Hildy Johnson” in “His Girl Friday.” Two daughters of famous football coaches are up for roles in “Tillie the Toiler”; they are Marcia Sbaughnessy and Annie Lee Stagg, and were suggested by no less a per­ sonage than Maude Adams, the famous actress, who coached them at Stevens college. The 52.6 second kiss .record set by Ann Sheridan and George Brent in “Honeymoon for Three” brought re­ actions of all kinds from here, there and elsewhere.A Los Angeles laundry asked for the handkerchief used by Brent to wipe off Miss Sheridan’s lipstick, of­fering to launder it for nothing. An inventor in Indianapolis asked Brent to be the first to try his new lipstick remover. A clock manufacturer in­quired what kind of watch was used to time the kiss. A New York pro­moter telegraphed a $500 offer to the pair if they would officially open a “kissathon” by repeating the per­ formance. And then a woman’s club in To­ peka, Kan., passed a resolution rec­ommending that endurance kissing be banned on the ground that it is unhygienic. And countless males be­tween the ages of 17 and 60 wrote in, volunteering to take over Brent’s next assignment of that kind for nothing. When young Betty Brewer was working with him in "Rangers of Fortune” Fred MacMurray taught her to croon. Since then she has been rehearsing her sister and broth­er and a little neighbor girl in a quartet which die calls “Betty Brew­er and Her Playmates,” and it’s so good that an advertising agency may put them on the air this fall. As old as radio is the annoying production problem of performers kicking the microphone stand or striking it with their hands if they make gestures while on the air. If a grating sound comes from your receiving set, that’s probably the reason. Cecil B. DeMille thought he’d solved the problem for his. radio theater last year, by using a bang­ing microphone—but without a base stand to guide them, actors bumped their heads into 'the mike. (Glut­ tons for punishment, these actors!) Undaunted, C. B. went to work again, And this year when the cast assembled for the theater’s first pro­ duction, “Manhattan Melodrama,” with Myma Loy, William Powell, and, of course, Don Ameche, they found that a circular guard rail’ had been built under the mike. That suited them perfectly—they could rest their scripts on it.

For the mid­day repast must give plenty of nour­ ishment in a form that can be quick­ly and easily eaten—and, in the case of carry-away lunches, easily packed as well. Fruit, cookies, sandwiches and milk in some form constitute stand­bys for box lunches as well as the school child’s home lunch. Cocoa, cream soups, custards and simple puddings help with the milk quota at the home lunch. Cocoa, or a Tniflc shake, as well as plain milk, can be carried with « the school lundi in a vac­ uum bottle. For the box lunch, sandwiches ought to be carefully wrapped so that they will be fresh and appetizing. Chopped meat moistened with a little butter or mayonnaise, hard-cooked egg deli­cately seasoned, cream cheese, jams and jellies, all make tempting fill­ ings.Semi-liquid foods may be put into small,glass jars.with tightly fitting; covers. Supply paper cups for the beverage; and as a novelty, put in a paper straw, especially when you pack chocolate malt or iced cOcoa. The sandwiches and softer foods should be placed on top to prevent mashing. Brightly colored lunch boxes are popular, because they are not only easier to pack, and well-ventilated, but are attractive to carry, lateral­ly speaking, you can pack every­thing in them from "soup to nuts.” The lunch boxes should be kept im­maculately clean by careful scald­ ing each day.You may like to use this menu some day when you have plenty of meat loaf left over from the Sunday dinner:Meat Loaf Sandwiches Deviled Egg OlivesCustard Chocolate Milk Or you might use a menu similar -to this for colder weather: Cream of Tomato Soup Peanut Butter and Orange Marma­ lade Sandwiches Fruit Tapioca Cookie There'is always an extra corner into which you can tuck a surprise. To the smaller children this will be a delight. It may be a few nuts, or a few pieces of good candy, or it may be the little candy bridge favor you received yesterday. A packed lunch can become as tire­some to eat as it is to pack. Even you will be thinking of the little surprise you can find to put into it, and thus make this , task more of a pleasure to you.So get a lunch box that will be large enough to hold all the neces­sary equipment, but will not be too heavy to carry, and begin making your plans for the school lunch. Some of these suggestions may aid you in your-plans for the school year:Soups and Beverages.Soups and beverages, if packed in thermos bottles, will stay hot or cold, as the case may be. The cream soups are the most nutri­tious, for theycontain not wily _milk but vegetables as welL Try cream of tomato, cream of pea, cream of spinach and cream of as­ paragus.There is quite a wide choice of beverages. For warmer weather you may like to give the children pine­ apple juice, grape juice, orange juice, milk or chocolate malt. When the weather' becomes cooler, hot chocolate or cocoa are welcome bev­ erages.Sandwiches. Bread for. sandwiches should be cut in thin slices, with the butter and filling spread way out to the edges. The butter is easier to spread if creamed first; and the sandwiches should be cut into convenient sizes foresting. Varythekindsofbreads that you use for sandwiches: plain or white, whcle wheat, rye, brown bread, peanut-butter bread, orange Why not plan a little different party for your friends? Have a harvest home party, where your guests can gather for singing, games, and dancing. At the end of August, orthe mid­ dle of September, many of the countries of Europe finished up the harvest season with the har­vest festival. There the workers of the fields feasted, danced, and sang, as guests of the mansion. Wreaths, fashioned of grain, flow­ ers, nuts and com were hung on the walls, to remain until the fol­lowing year. Miss Howe will tell you about a harvest party in her column next week which will contain many at­ tractive suggestions. - bread, nut bread, corabread, raisin bread, and rolls. For filling you may like to use these suggestions: Chicken, with chopped celery and mayonnaise;Cream cheese on raisin bread. Chopped dates, nuts and orange juice.Ground cooked veal, raw carrots and celery, with salad dressing. Orange marmalade and peanut butter.. Cottage cheese, chopped olives and mayonnaise.Hard cooked egg, chopped celery and mayonnaise.Meat loaf, sliced thin.Bacon, mayonnaise and lettuce.

Return to double boiler and cook, stirring con­stantly, until the mixture thickens. Cook 5 minutes. Remove from flame, add nut meats and extract. Turn into a wet mold and chill. Serve with whipped cream if de­sired.-Desserts. With the problem of packing des­serts solved, there is a much wider choice than ever ■“ before. Rice pud­ ding, small tarts, custards, oatmeal cookies, brown­ ies, cup cakes, tapioca, cooked fruit, dates, figs,gingerbread, fresh or stewed dried fruits, and plain cakes are all to be selected to vary the school lunch. Cream of Tomato Soup. 2 cups canned tomatoes' 2 slices onion % teaspoon soda I teaspoon sugar1 teaspoon salt Dash pepper 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk Heat tomatoes with onion, soda, sugar, salt and pepper. Rub through sieve; reheat. Place butter in top of double boiler and melt. Add flour and mix thoroughly. Add milk Cook, stirring constantly, until mix­ture thickens.

LUKE AND HIS GOSPEL LESSON TEXT—Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1:1; Cplosslans 4:14; n Timothy 4:11a. GOLDEN Text—It seemed good to me also . . . to write . . . that thou mlghtest know the certainty at those things, wherein thou hast been Instructed.—Luke 1:3, 4. Reading a book is a privilege and| should be an illuminating and stir­ ring experience. What' a pity that so few read good books in our day!’ To study a book is a far more fruit­ful and interesting experience. Few are the books worthy of prolonged and repeated study. Therein ’do we find one of the great differences be­tween books of men and God’s Book —the Bible. Again and again we turn to its pages and find its truth inexhaustible, ever interesting, in­forming, and soul-stirring in its beauty and power. In reading any book, we want to know who wrote it, what kind of a man he was, why.he wrote, what he wrote about, and what ltind of a book he wrote. We recognize that the Holy Spirit is the real author of the Word (H Tim. 3:16; II Pet. 1:21), but He chose and used human writers. As we begin a six-month study of the Gospel according to Luke, we properly ask about both the author and his writing. I. The Writer—Luke. Our information regarding Luke is found in the New Testament, in the Introductory words of the books he wrote (Luke and Acts) and in the writings of his friend and co­worker, Paul. There we learn of his 1. Nationality and Religion. His name, “Luke,” is a contraction of the Greek name “Loukios” and, since we know from Colossians 4:11 and 14 that he was not “of the cir­cumcision,” we know he was a Gen­ tile and evidently a Greek. When, where and by whom he was won to Christ, we do not know. We .do know that this intelligent Greek, versed in all the philosophies of the perfection of personality, found in Christ-the fulfillment.of. all his de­ sires and dreams. 2. Profession—a Physician (Col. 4: 14. See also medical terms in all his writings). Luke wrote scholarly Greek; he was familiar with the ’life of a sailor (Acts 27); he joined with his scientific accuracy an esthetic culture often revealed in his writ­ ings. 3. His Friends. A man’s, friends indicate his character. Luke had a close friend and possibly a patron, "his excellency” Theophilus (Acts 1:1; Luke 1:3), evidently a man of standing and ability. He was also a close friend and fellow laborer with perhaps the greatest man of all time, Paul the apostle. 4. His Activities. Fellow mission­ ary with Paul (Acts 16:11; 20:5, 6 ; and elsewhere), physician, preacher of the gospel, and author. H. The Book—the Gospel by Luke. To have written a book may be a doubtful distinction, but to have been used of the Holy Spirit to write such a book as this Gospel—what an honor and privilege! Following Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, we note: I. Its Subject. “The Word” (Luke 1:2). He wrote about the perfect personality of Jesus Christ, but he, like John (John 1:14), recognized that it was the divine and eternal Word which became flesh in the per­ fect humanity of Jesus Christ.2. Its Sources. He doubtless read what many had written (Luke 1:1). He also Udke-S with “eyewitnesses” (Luke 1:2) and "ministers of the word” who had known the Lord. Ilis sources were excellent and un­ impeachable. 3. Its Method. He "traced the course” (for so does the R. V. prop­erly translate Luke 1:3) of the ma­ terial he gathered; that is, he did original research and investigation, always under the control and guid­ ance of the Holy Spirit. This result­ed in a placing of all things “in or­der.” After gathering, sifting, in­ vestigating, the Holy Spirit saw that Luke put all things in proper order (see I Cor. 14:33, 40). 4. Its Purpose. Luke wanted The- ophilus (and others who read his Gospel) to know with “certainty” (Luke 1:4) those things in which he was already instructed by word of mouth. Lnportant matters must al-: ways be written down, carefully and in order. To pass things on by word of . mouth inevitably results in change; conscious or unconscious. So desperately vital a matter as our eternal salvation calls for writ­ ings, exact and complete. Luke, who had a knowledge of all these things, was moved by the Holy Spirit to write, and thus we have this glorious Gtospel which we are to study from now until the end of March, 1941.

Strohm Dean , International Correspondence Schools M ANY professional engineers be­ lieve that the increase in the number of graduate engineers from 2,000 in 1890 to 158,000 In 1930 means an overcrowding of the pro­ fession. Such an opinion, no doubt, has been influenced by employment conditions. There are many other engineers who feel that the training of highly skilled engineers will contribute much toward curing some of our economic ills. Certainly if the term “engineering” includes the techni­cians, the laboratory workers and the junior engineers, there always will be sufficient openings for en­gineering graduates. ' * The achievements of present-day engineering will appear as interest­ing. experiments compared to many accomplishments that lie ahead. More efficient harnessing of power, improved transportation on land, sea and in the air, universal com­ munication and free exchange of scientific knowledge, exploitation of raw materials, a more sympathetic approach to all the problems of modem life—these and many others are the problems which will keep thousands of engineers busy for years to come. New applications of wlentille knowledge are continually develop­ ing. The more we know about the forces and materials of nature, the better chance we have to use them in some manner beneficial to the human race. COT I ON! COTTON! E.

This from the Shelby Daily Stsr: Otie of the most ridiculous sights in a section where grass grows wild is a bale of hay lashed on the. front bumper of an automoble, as a farm- er goes home from town. Among his purchases was the bale of hay, grown in some distant state. The farmer has lived in grass all his life. It may be a fine, new car but there is nothing to brag about on his homeward trip. The hay ruined the impressions. Not so long ago one of the auda­ cious columnists of this paper bold enough to relate that one of our farmer friends faced with the neces- sity of entertaining a thresher crew at dinner at his home hurried to town to secure a hamper of beans and some hog jowl, along with an armful of weinies for to serve his guests of that day. Of course it just happened that they came at a time when his bean crop was out of season, and when hog jowl was running low. But it serves as a significant illustration just the same —one that is comparable to the Cleveland county .farmer’s bale of western hay balanced on thebump- er of his flivver. . Iredell county farmers are fast getting away from that silly busi­ ness, and seldom does old Kit, the mule, have to wait for dinner to be brought from town. They are making their own hay and its good hay, too, better than they can buy. Pastures are green with cover crops until late in the' fall and in winter the finest oi lespedeza is forked into racks for the cattle. And best of all out yonder a milk condense ry is converting this homeriased hay in­ to dollars with which to gladden hearts at Christmas time and to keep the rural wolf from the door. Let us hope that the day will soon come when the sight of a farm with bales of western bay headed for the farm lot will be a subject for the camera of an amateur in an oddity contest.—Statesville Daily. Hoey Not Change ~ Thanksgiving. Gov. Clyde R Hoey says that North Carolina will observe the tradi tional last Thursday in November as the official Thanksgiving Day. He says he will issue his proclamation soon directing that November 28 be observed as Thanksgiving Day. Last year the governor declined to follow President Rooseveltahd move up the observance of Thanksgiving Day one week. So again this year he is atiil declining to follow the President on this. The governor wrote Willard Do* well, secretary of the North Caro* Iina Merchants association, thanking him for a copy of resolution adopted by the association urging that the third Thursday be proclaimed as Thanksgiving to “give a longer per riod for Christmas shopping." ‘I am thoroughly sympathetic with any move to increase the, busi­ ness of our merchants." Hoey wrote, “but I see no reason why they should wait until. Christmas day to display their Christmas goods or to open the Christmas sales. Last year merch­ ants i n Raleigh and many other places in the state decided upon an earlier date for opening the Christ- mas sales and it worked pplendidly. ,'*1 feel verv strongly about Thanks­ giving day. Itjsnot a commercial event or observance. For 75 years there has been an unbroken obser­ vance of this day in North Carolina, on the last Thursday in November, and I see no sufficient reason for a change now. Accordingly, at the proper time I shall designate this tra­ ditional day again this year.” Let Me Tell You9 Says “Pot” Hainley Will Franklin Delano Roosevelt have to die to prove that crooked machine politicians, political parasites and “fellow travelers” are w^png? Prove that some one else is fit to govern the United States contrary., to their claims that no one. but .Roosevelt is? Following their ridicdlous reasoning, w^y nominate anyone for vice president? Under their' the­ ory if Roosevelt lived we would not-need a “spare” and if he died : no one, not-even a vice president, could govern anyway. In other words, we can produce wonderful scientists, inventors, manufacturers, . finan ciers, doctors, dentists, preachers, educators, etc , but we have lost the art of breeding presidents..' The third termites don’t believe that them­ selves but they hope that you are as dumb as they think you are . and swallow their triptf. There are two reasons for their “indispensable man” hooey and both of them are jobs-NOT FOR THE UNEMPLOYED but JOBS FOR THEMSELVES. They realize, even if you'people do not, that, the New Deal party is a hybrid and being a hybrid cannot repioduce it self. Hence they stick to the creator. But let its assume that no one else is fit.to run the country save F. Deficit Roosevelt. In the event of his death would we fold up and give the country back to the In­ dians? Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley died and we carried on until Roosevelt IeftNew York 93 million dollars in the hole and came to Washington to save us. 1 No. the reason that you are being begged, cajoied or forced ; 10 con sider Roosevelt is not to save America—it is merely to save thousands of jobs for political parasites. They know-that If he is defeated they will disappear back into the obscurity from whence they came. Some of the most ardent machine leaders fear the loss of their liberty in case the boss of “Crookes Delight,” and “Krum Flbow” is sent back home to stay.

Salisbury — Paul Leonard, of Statesville, secretary of the North Carolina Fair Tax Association, an. nounced that he would identify himself with “the Democrats-for- Willkie movement.” •- He denounced what he termed “the waste of billions of dollars of tax money yet uncollected” on so- called planned economy,” which, he said, “should have gone into preparations for national defense and security.” Leonard urged independent, vot­ ing and said he would support Will­ kie because “it appears to me to be the way to salvation from continu­ ation of the conditions I have been discussing.” In a speech before the Salisbury Lions Club Leonard said that busi­ nessmen bad more at stake than other groups.in present governmen­ tal fiscal policies and he urged all businessmen to take a more active interest in public and political affairs. Leonard charged that “orderly process of democracy are being dis­ regarded by scheming politicians and tax spenders who have ceased to respect the plight of-taxpayers ” “As I see it,” he continued, "we Democrats of North Carolina have allowed ourselyes to be duped so long by silver-tongued officeholders who for ,purely selfish reasons have wanted a one party system of gov. ernment In this section of the na­ tion, that we have' become such slaves to the tradition that the South must remain Democtatici we allowed the new deal to swallow us book, line and sinker, and now are about to allow the most sacred ' A- merican tradition to be smashed by voting to retain for a third term as ■president, one who has the auda­ city to intimate that he is the one indispensibte man. . . .

If President Roosevelt is endow ed with the powers of forsight his supporters claim for him, either those 'powers failed him or he was gailty of plain deception of the A merican people m early June. For on June 4,' at a. press confer, euce, Mr. Roosevelt said that it was his opinion Congress should speed­ ily conclude action on at few . re- maining measures and t ien. should adjourn, for there was nothing more for Congress tn do at this ses­ sion. Fortunately, however, the Re­ publican members 01 Congress in­ sisted that with existing world con ditions Congress should not adjourn Since that time the- selective draft law, the tax adjustment bill and additional' defense appropriations, among other important measures, bare been brought before Congress —some by Presidential message Apparently Mr. Roosevelt could not.conceive, only a few months a- go, that such legislation might be needed—or else he thought the A- merican form of Government had terminated and that he. could ac­ complish these enrs without appro val of Congress It is hoped the Congress will con tinue on the job during Mr. Roose velt’s emergency except only tor a possible recess —Ex. Wdhce Wrong Again! Democratic Vice-Presidential Can­ didate Henry Wallace in his Accept­ ance speech asserted that during the seven years, that President Roose- velt has been in office farm incomes "have been more than doubled.” Like so many New Deal statements, that one simply is not true. Figures supplied by the United States Agricultural Department show that cash income from farm mar- ketings in 1933, the year in which Mr. Roosevelt became President, to­taled $5,278,000,000 and that ih 1939, the last full year for which we have a report,' they were $7,625,000,000. 'This is an increase, to be sure, but it is NOT MORK THAN DOUBLE.Of course, it is never fair to com­ pare one year against another un­less account is taken of all circum­ stances. A fair basis of comparison is that of the full seven years of the New Deal and the seven previous years. What does that show in the case of farm income? Cash farm income for the- seven Republican years preceding the New Deal—Including the worst years of Qie depression—averaged $9,046,000,- 000 a year. Theaverageannual fo- :tal for the New Deal sevea-ypar pe­ riod was $7,247,000,000. Annual av­ erage income per farm for the 1926- 32 period was $1,432. compared with $1,062 for the 1933-39 period. Av- erage annual Mcome per. farm per­son for fiie: Republican period was $298 compared with $228 for the New Deal years. The figures for the New 'Deal years include benefit payments from the. Federal Govermnent. : It ls no wonder Henry Wallace de­ voted most of his speech to the for- eign situation!. ; Naw Deal Drops In Exports In the depression year of 1932 ex- porta of American products had a .valne af $752,000,000.

VAN OE W ATEA servic* COAPTEB I —I— I heard the man killed In the Fer- Mter apartment. I heard the words that brought about his murder, too, but just then the wheel came off Miss Agathjt Paget’s wheel chair and drove all else from my mind. The thick voice that I heard over the telephone and the dull sounds that followed seemed trite. They hid, rather than revealed, tragedy;-: and I forgot them.. Later, theybej. c«me important. They were small facts, about which men made mon strous theories, as scientists rebuilt dinosaurs Iran tiny bits of bone. Afterward, the call pad show^C that it was three-thirty on the after­noon of February twenty-third when the switchboard clicked and whirreSL I was alone in the foyer of the Mo- rello, for Eddie Hoyt had slipped out for a bite and Wilson, the door­ man, was ill. Higgins, the super­intendent, who was filling in for him, had taken the elevator upstairs. The operator was slow and I scrib­ bled the number on the call pad while I waited. A voice buzzed in my ear again, apparently speaking to someone in the Ferriter fiat, in a tongue I did not know. I thought it might be German, for it was blunt and guttural. Then I heard an odd sound, half grunt, half cough, and a faraway bump that must have been the lamp, or the body, falling. At the time, though, I thought it was Miss Pag­et’s wheel chair. Warren, her chauffeur, was trun­ dling her in. He had had trouble at the door for there was no one there to help him. I looked up and saw a wheel rolling down the hall. The chair had sagged. Miss Paget was hanging to its upper arm and laugh­ ing while Warren struggled to keep it from overturning. I ran to help Miss Paget. She was the oldest tenant by age and residence in the old MoreUo Apartments. This was one of the rare buildings in Manhattan that had endured into mellow age. The foyer was furnished in mahogany, tile‘and gloom, and on the ceiling dim cherubs were tangled in fad­ing ribbons. The Morello Apart­ ments sat, brown and ornate, be­ tween bleaker, newer buildings with a calm weathered dignity nothing could break—rather as Miss Agatha Paget sat between Warren and me when at last we had righted her wrecked chair.I had'been hallman at the Morello less than a week but already I knew that she was important. The pomp­ous ass, Higgins, had squired the passages of her wheel chair between elevator and car as though they were royal progresses. Now tiie old lady sat and preened herself like a ruffled little hawk. She was oddly alive for one whose, legs were useless. Time had worn but not blunted her. Years had sharpened her high-bridged nose and wrinkled her face but Uiey had not Joosened Her mouth or quenched the zest in her blue eyes. She caught my eye and grinned, broad, warm and vital. “Thank you, David,” she said. “You are David, aren’t you? You all look alike in those uniforms. Warren, I know what that pious look of yours means. I remember quite well you’ve warned me that this chair was going to pieces. And I said it wotdd outlive me, didn’t I?”Stie cocked an eye at me, parrot- wise and as we half carried, half propelled her along the hall, I felt her looking at me again. Higgins and the elevator still were upstairs.I rang the bell. From the street came the sound of a protesting motor horn. I rang again. Miss Agatha clicked her teeth sharply and announced:“I’ve lived here forty years and there’s never been a day that the service didn't get worse. Who’s on the elevator?”“Higgins,” I told her. She gave again the little audible bite^“His wife is away, -isn’t she?” The racket of the horn continued in the street. Miss Agatha said c risply:“Ring that bell, David, UD I tell you to stop.” Above the distant shrilling, I heard at last the old winch in the basement groan and start. The bell’s trill came down toward us. Outside the h<jm kept up its blatting. Warren stirreaiand said:“I fancy l’m in someone’s way, ma’am.” v"I know you are,” Miss Agatha returned. “If Tiffiothy Higgins—''* Higgins threw open the door and found me with my finger on the bell. He wore Wilson’s maroon and gold livery—he was the only man on the house force-it-.wotdd fit—and as he glared at me, he seemed to swell inside it. His long upper lip twitched over the words he dared' not utter under the old lady’s sharp regard) but he did growl: “I’m hot deaf.” From the day he had hired me on Eddie Hoyt’s recommendation for a cubby in his basement flat and thirty dollars a month, he had re- gretted it. He had told me several times that I was “above my place” and now his look filled my stomach with qualms. I needed this humble "Agatha,” the girl cried and stared. refuge from the storm of destitu­tion that blew coldly through New York, and knowledge of my helpless­ness made me foolishly angry. Be­ fore I could speak, Miss Agatha said:“Deaf! We began to think, Timo­ thy, that you were dead. Or else—” Her sharp eyes prodded him and his uniformed bulk quailed. I saw that tbe aglet on his coat was loose and dangling. The noise of horns In the street grew louder. Miss Aga­ tha said:“Warren, I think they want you to move that car. DavidandTimothy can get me upstairs quite nicely.” The chauffeur went. Miss Agatha continued to look at Higgins. I heard him breathe harder and saw sweat shining on his full red face. He said with stumbling eagerness:“Indeed I will, Miss Paget. The chair’s broke! Dear, dear, ain’t that too bad now? Maybe I can mend it for you, ma’am. I'll find time some­ how. With Wilson sick and me taking his place on the day shift and a new man in the hall here, I’m fair drove. I am indeed, Miss Pag­ et, with Wilson’s and me own work to do. That’s why—” His voice died away under her severe regard and he buttoned his gilt aglet into place with uncertain fingers. I wondered at his ill ease, and-madness made me say: “That’s why he’s doubling in brass.” Caution cried out against the sor­ry jest. Higgins squinted, at me. His ire rather than my wit pleased Miss Agatha. There were mirth WTinkles about her eyes as she looked up and said:“Timothy will hold this wreck, Da­vid, if you’ll lift me onto the eleva­ tor seat, please.” ‘TH manage. Miss Paget, don’t you have a moment’s worry, ma’am,” Higgins babbled. “You,” Miss Agatha corrected, “will take that chair down cellar and .dispose of it. If you were to spend more time in the basement or at the door, Timothy, and less on the fourth floor, I think matters would run much more smoothly for everyone." She humbled him. “Yes’m,” he said meekly. Miss Agatha’s crippled body was angular and very light against me as I bora her into the car and lowered her to the black leather seat in its rear. The door slid shut on Higgins. Miss Agatha marked the parting glare he gave me. There was little that she actually missed; She said, more to herselfthan to me: “Mr. Toad, himself.” I knew that Kggins would be wait­ ing below to tell me—if he did not fire me outright—how lowly was my lot. The lively I wore, the mocking memory of ambition I had brought to New York, made me reckless and I reached up from servitude toward equality with my passenger. “ 'She cried,’ ” I quoted, “ * “who is that handsome man?” They an­swered: “Mister Tttadt” ’ ” Abashed by the silence behind me, I checked the car at the third floor and opened the door. I thought I heard a chuckle but when I turned about, Miss Agatha’s face was grave and she took her latchkey from her purse. “If you’ll open the door, David,” she said and her words rebuffed my levity, “and then carry me into the workroom—” I unlocked the door. As I again turned toward the elevator, I saw, across the shallow hall, the portal of the Ferriter apartment, white and reticent as an uncarved tombstone. I picked up Misa Agatha and bore her carefully into her apartment. The deep carpet of the hall hushed my footsteps and we appeared at the open door of a high-ceiled room so quietly that we alarmed the man and girl who stood by the desk in its center. Her face was lifted to his and I thought her hand had been on his arm, but they sprang apart be­fore I could be sure. “Agatha,” the girl cried and stared. I had watched her pass through the foyer with a swinging, boyish stride, but she actually saw me now for the first time, and I was aware how miserably my in­herited uniform fitted. She was young and fair and she carried her lovely head with the alert vitality of a deer. “In person,” Miss Paget replied dryly. “That chair by the table, if you please, David.” The man had bent hastily over the desk. I disliked his plump sleek­ness, the bald spot on Iiis crown, his waxed mustache, the Iqrstericd flutter of the papers he sorted and arranged. The girl looked from my burden to him and then grinned shamelessly. “Just what is this?” she demand­ ed as I set the old lady in the chair. “Understudying for Sappho, Aga­tha? Darling, you aren’t hurt, are you?” “I am not,” Miss Agatha replied, and told of her chair’s collapse. “That basement Don Juan,” she concluded grimly. “I’ll have a talk with him.> And now will you find Annie and tell her to come here? Tve had a rather trying afternoon.”“Both of us, darling,” the girl assured her and left the room. I turned to go. "One minute, David,” Miss Aga­ tha interposed. As I paused, Sie plump man at the desk lifted a pink face from his papers. His perpetu­ally arched eyebrows gave him the weakly haughty look of one about to sneeze. His voice was soft, and at the moment, nervous. “We’re progressing, Miss Paget,” he assured her uneasily, his hands still straying among the stacked pa­ pers on the desk. ‘Tm going back to the genealogical society for an hour or so. TUngs are falling into shape. I’ve been hard at work." “So I noticed,” the old lady told him. He looked at her uncertainly but her face was without expres­ sion. “Tomorrow then, at the same time, Mr. Ferriter,” die said. Ho bowed jerkily and walked with some stiffness from the room. His ears were red. As he opened the hail door, I heard the elevator bell. “Excuse me,” I began, but she held up her hand, as AUegra re­ entered. (TO BE CONTINUED) By FREDERIC F.

SERIALLY IN THIS PAPERBEGINS TODAY oooo FIRSt-Ap ip ih& ' -' K'AILING HOUSE by Roger B. Whitman , (© Roser B. Whitman—WNU ServieeJ Care of Idle Heater. QUESTION: How can rust be pre­ vented from forming on a fur­ nace during the summer?Answer: Busting is only one of the troubles that can come to a heater during the idle, months; as a matter of fact, one idle season may do more damage to a heater than many seasons of operation. Tnere are' several steps in protecting a heater against damage. As soon as the fire goes out, any Idnd of a heater should be cleaned inside, ashes removed, and dust scraped and brushed from the flues and oth­er inside parts. The inside should then'be given a coat of oil. Lubri­ cating oil' can be used, but nothing is better than: crankcase drainings. Using an inside spray, the oil is spread on all-inside surfaces. __■ Rusting is due to condensation. To avoid this trouble, it is best to taki down the smoke-pipe, to clean it and to store it in a dry place. AU doors and openings of the heater should be left standing wide open through the summer. If the smoke- pipe cannot be taken down, the turn- damper should be left in the wide- open position. Edges and hinges of doors should be oiled.Xf it is necessary to change the water in a steam or hot water boiler, this should be done in the fall, and at the beginning of the heating sea­son. When a steam boiler is put out of commission in the spring, the water should be left in, and more added until it is completely filled; this can be done by holding the safe­ty valve open. Badiators and pipes remain empty. A hot water outfit is left filled as it was during the win­ ter. When starting up in the fall, water should be changed only if it is noticeably dirty. Otherwise only enough is drawn off from a steam boiler to bring it to the correct IeveLOutside rust should be taken off with steel wool, and the metal fin­ished with high temperature as* phaltum or aluminum paint Finish for Walls. Question: I have two upstairs bedrooms with smooth plaster walls that were whitewashed several times. I want to put something else on the walls, but how can I get them clean? What can I use for a finish? How can I fill cracks in the plaster?Answer: Yqu can take off the whitewash with, liberal sponging with warm water. Go over the wall two or three times, squeeze out the sponge, and go-over the wall again to pick up the softened whitewash.. After cleaning and drying it may be necessary to smooth the wall with fine sandpaper. Cracks should be fiUed with patching plaster, to be had at a hardware or paint store. Directions for use are on the label. In refinishing the walls you can use a cold water paint which is washa­ble when dry. It comes in the form of a paste, to be thinned with water. Radiator Finish. Question: My radiators are now finished with bronze and silvfcr paint. Before I refinish them with oil paint, must this bronze paint be removed? What should I use for repainting? Answer: .Go over the radiators with a wire brush to take off all loose piarticles. Silver and bronze paint that resists can remain; the new paint can go on over it. After brushing, radiators should be wiped with turpentine or benzine to re­ move all traces of grease. (Be care­ful of fire!) At a paint store you may be able to get a special kind of paint intended-for. radiators, or you can use top quality flat wall paint thinned with % as much turpentine and put on in two or tijree thin coats. Radiators should be cold when they are painted, and should remain so until the paint has dried. Slow Drainage. Question: Water in a second floor sink runs out very slowly. This is not due to a sluggish drain, for the pipes have been cleaned out sev­eral times without benefit. Could air be holding up the drainage? Answer: Slow drainage would not be from air, but from an obstruc­tion in the pipe. As ordinary meth­ ods of cleaning have not helped matters, you must look for some other obstruction; possibly a faulty connection.. Kitchen Sewage.Question: A correspondent asks about' filling a pit 5 feet long, 4 feet wide and 3 feet deep with small and medium sized stones. Into this pit he intends to empty the kitchen waste. Answer: The pit would quickly dog up with grease and refine. He will do much better by building a cesspool. Complete instructions on building cesspools are contained in a government bulletin, No. 1227, on “Sewage and Sewerage of Farm Homes." Send five cents in coin to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Dog Deterrent.Question: What Uquid will pre­ vent dogs from getting too close to plants? Would it be effective on cor­ners of walls and basement window sills? ■ Answer: The Uquid is a solution of nicotine sulphate in water, as is used for an insecticide on plants. A strong solution would be effective for stone, brick and woodwork. (Harmless to dogs.) Seed stores have ready prepared products fo r the same purpose. * Jjoquocious Conductor Aimed to Make Self Clear, “Fare, please!

We, as Uayor and Board of Town Commissioners feel it our duty to set forth our views in connection with the election to be held Octo­ ber tbe 15th. There seems to be much misunderstanding about our position regarding this election. Some citizens have reported that we were in favor of bonding the Town for the proposed additions to our water and sewer system, while others have reported we were a- Kainst a bond issue. We as ser­ vants of the people of our town have never gone oh record as a Board, as approving a bond issue, neither have we gone on record as a Board, as disapproving a bond is­ sue. Our position is neutral. Wbat we did was to pass the uecessarv resolutions, which made an election possible; where every citizen would have tbe right to vote yes or no. The responsibility for tbe outcome of this election rests with the voters of the town, and not witb the ■ Mayor of Town Com missioners We will. cheerfully carry out the instructions of the majority as expressed by your vote on October the 15th. Our reason for inserting this in our papers is that when our elec­ tric system was sold, tbe Town Board was critisized by some who thought a mistake had been ' made, without knowing that the voters of the'town sold our Electric System, and not the Town Board. Again we say we, as a Board, are neutral in this election. Whether the Town is bonded or not bonded rests with the voters, not with us '•» jis L LASHMK E.H.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. BARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) X J EW YORK.—In Uncle Remus, ' Brer Fox said to Brer Tarripin, “You ain’t seen no trouble yit. I’m de man w’at can show yer trouble.” ‘T he P erfect Fool’ p^ d that Boes n a . , for Ed WynnO n ce A g a in Is and adds to FooUng the Jinx the public zest in whoopini it for his new revue, “Boys and Girls Together,” at its Boston tryout. His revue sounded extemporaneous, like everything else he does, and seemed to make people feel that even these dire days will end when an old mas­ ter, who though he was licked, can thus improvise a knockout. Set upon by a blizzard of trou­ bles, financial and domestic, two years ago, Brer Fox Wynn re­ tired to bis Park avenue cave to sit around in bis pajamas and bite his nails. Tben something touched off a giggle or two and he began trying on funny hats, and working np a few gags. He began to feel better, and along came George Wood and Pat C. Flick with a bankroll. That recent mess of trouble was Mr. Wynn’s twenty-seventh upset, in the light of which his comeback is not so surprising. His radio chain was as fragile as a Vassar daisy chain and took $300,000 of his money. A delayed income tax time bomb blew up a similar amount. Harassed by lawsuits and whatnot he found his wellspring of gags had dried up. He shopped around for new and used gags, but found none in stock. It was his own inner resources which finally reclaimed and reissued the waggish Mr. Wynn. Funny hats have figured in his karma from the first. His fa­ ther, a milliner, came from Czecho-Slovakia and his mother from Turkey. In the millinery shop, he handed himself many a laugh, trying on hats. When he was 16, his father said it was time for him to take up Uie mil­ linery trade, but he had other ideas. He tied a shirt and a Sunday suit into a Dick Whit­ tington bundle and made his way to Norwich, Conn. He talked his way into a rousta­ bout job with a barnstorming com­ pany, presently got a small part, and burlesqued it just enough to re­ veal his genius for comedy. Twelve years of barnstorming and vaude- ville followed. His recurring trou­ bles have been such that interyiew- ers or critics usually stress the Pagliacci note when writing about him, but it’s rollicking, sympathetic laughter which greets his happy comeback. X IT INSTON CHURCHILL stirs ' ' wide interest and approval with his demand for simple and pre­ cise language, official and unofficial, M o re a n d M o re hi the interest of national ef- P eopleT akingU p fectiveness. IV o rd G u n n e ry Own ^e-c e n t a d ­dresses have been models of clarity and force. He has risen nobly to the demands of the hour. AU the more credit to him in view of his previous lapses. This department has dredged up an old speech of Mr. Churchill’s in which'he scolded certain offenders for "terminologi­ cal inexactitude,” and-deplored the public trend toward ornate lan­ guage. Perhaps under the pressures and urgencies of the times pre- cisionists are coming forward in the entire field of communica­ tions as they are in machine tooling. War casualties among pedants and mystagogues may be heavy. Over here, Charles A. Collin takes a long overdue swipe at the mystic word maze of life insurance policies, as he addresses the Insurance Adver­ tising conference in. Atlantic City. This writer has been thrown for a loss every time he tried to read an insurance policy and has had to take them en­ tirely on faith. Also in tune with the times is Judge Pecora’s deep pondering and long-studied decision in that ques­ tion mark or period case. Sixteen entrants, in a civil service examina­ tion were sustained against their examiners when they picked the question mark as the proper ending for a certain sentence. Just getting under way before the war started there was in England a society .for general word renova­ tion and fumigation and the further­ ance of good diction. In these en­ deavors, Mr. Churchill now gets a putout, but something more than an assist should go'to the mischievous and ironic A. P. Herbert, the par­ liamentary gag man who was far ahead of Mr. Churchill in blasting at over-elegant word setups. Half Irish, the author of about 20 novels, and a half-dozen plays, he has pinked much revered, but preten­tious usage. Passing the Time in Air Raid Shelter Spruces Up for Army Here’s a peek into a Bamsgate air raid shelter. The city of Rams­ gate, in England, has been subjected to constant air raid alarms, and the people have, during these many weeks past, grown quite accustomed to spending long hours in air raid shelters. Girls are knitting as they pass the time. Housewives discuss the high cost of living and other home problems. Little boys suck on ice cream cones and wait, like the otters, for the raid to pass over. London’s loss of time every day because of air raids is a very serious matter, and the Nazis seem to know it. A blanket serves as an extra pair of pants for Private Edward Tor- tolani, who sharpens a crease as he gets ready to enter the regular army of the United States.

Seven-Months’ Funeral The greatest funeral procession in history was that of the third Tashi Lama, spiritual ruler of Tibet, who died in Peking in 1781 while visiting the emperor of Chi­ na. The cortege of thousands of monks, dignitaries, soldiers and cooks, with hundreds of camels carrying supplies, made the 2,400- mile journey from Peking to Tashi-fiiunpo on foot, over high mountain passes and through rag­ ing rivers, in seven months and eight days.—Coffier’s.

W ell, n eith er has p ractically everybody else. Betty Field has, for in Para- mount’s “Victory” she’s in­ vading D orothy L am our’s territory and w earing one. It’s a sort of glorified sarong, and the first day afte r the first batch of photos showing the lady in it was released the studio received 27 requests for the gar­ment. — &— Mary Martin Fred Allen and Jack Benny are supposed to be the battlers in “Love Thy Neighbor,” but it seems to be Mary Martin, their co-star, who is really the vic­ tim. The famous feudists battle with words.' As for M ary, her schedule includes .being caught up on a derrick hook in a scene on a dock, being tossed into the ocean and having to swim with all her clothes on, being nearly strangled by Benny in one scene and manhandled by Allen in another. She does two dance routines, one of which involves a lot of struggling, and another shot finds her rolling around the back end of a wildly driven cab. Nice work for a girl who can keep audiences happy just by singing! — *— In Hollywood, Burgess Meredith, working in “Second Chorus” with Fred Astaire and Paulette God­ dard, had not yet acquired a car. Nevertheless a sign on a fence at General Service studios carried the w a r n in g , “This place re­ served for Mt. Meredith.” T hat vacant space, amid the cars belonging to other stars, was too much for Miss Goddard. So she filled the vacancy with a brand’ new motor scooter, decorated with ribbons and equipped with a bottle of iodine, just in case of accident. — *— It’s been quite a while since Brenda Marshall couldn’t have any dress that she wanted, but the suc­ cess that made that possible also stood in her way the other day when she fell in love with a frock and then couldn’t have it. The dress was designed for her to wear in Warner Brothers’ “East of the River,” and she liked it so much that she wanted to have it copied for her own wardrobe. But the pro­ duction office turned thumbs down. The reason was that she is a target for cameras wherever she goes. The dress might be copied by fash- tion bootleggers, and the style wouldn’t be new when the picture is released. If the war news in your daily paper and on the radio means a lot to you you’ll certainly want to see the new March of Time, “On For­ eign Newsfronts.” It shows how XJ. S. newsmen are covering the big­ gest news story in modern history— tells how men like H. V. Kalten- born were forced to leave Germany. It records the story of this first year of World War II from the viewpoint of the men who report it to the American people, and shows why the United States today is the last stronghold of a free press, and its citizens the best informed in the world. Apparently people who earn their livings by appearing in public just can’t help being superstitious—even athletes are susceptible, as Babe Ruth used to prove when he never went out to left field or returned without kicking second base on the way. Burns and Allen are no exception. Burns Bever approaches the micro­ phone without touching his left too to the bottom of Artie Shaw’s music stand. Gracie always sits on the right side of the stage and has two chairs, one to sit on and the-other tor her script. This latter chair is always turned so that its back is to the audience. She’s never missed this arrangement in seven years, and judging by her success it must be a good one. Dinah Shore, lately with the Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin street, that solemnly spoofing swing program, and with the Re- vuers, will be on the new Eddie Can­ tor program that starts in October. A bachelor of arts from Vanderbilt university, she’s taken her singing seriously since she was ten—now she’s cashing in on her persever­ ance. A lot of people don’t want to hear “Orchids of Remembrance” again unless she sings it, because of the way she did it recently on West inghouse’s “Musical Americana.” HARVEST HOME PARTS (See Recipes Below) 2 a M W i* , Everybody enjoys singing a song of _ harvest home, even if they haven’t had a personal stake in bringing in the crops. At your har­ vest home party, if you follow tradi­ tion, you’ll have cornucopias filled with fall fruits and garlands of wheat or grasses grouped at the center of your festive board. Little dolls dressed in overalls and aprons make amusing favors. Farmer in the dell, blindman’s buff, puss in comer, and the never to be forgotten game of charades, in which the participants can give their all in dramatic acting, are tra­ ditional juvenile game favorites Uiat are likely to give the grown-up con­ tingent an equally good time. You may want to do a little bit of folk dancing, with the old time fiddler, the pianist, and even an accordion­ ist hitting off “country” songs. XVhen it comes to refreshments, you may decide upon anything from a big picnic spread to cookies and a refreshing beverage. A fruit pie is the most appropriate happy end­ ing to your harvest home feast Just a hint to you homemakers if you have trouble keeping the delicious juice in a pie; quick cooking tapioca may be used as a thickener, thus eliminating the traditional hazard of runaway juice.

THE BOYHOOD OF JESUS LESSON TEXT-Luke 2:40-92.GOLDEN TEXT—And Jesus Increased In Msdom and stature, and In favor with God and man.—Luke 2:92. One brief but revealing glimpse into the earthly life of our Lord is all we have from His birth to the time when he entered upon His public ministry at His baptism in the Jordan. How appropriate it is that he was permitted to live those years of His life behind the curtain of divine silence. The incident in our lesson shows. Jesus at the age of responsibility,: and in His Father’s house. This is preceded by one verse which reveals. Him as the growing child, and is. followed by another verse which tells of his advancement from boy­ hood into manhood. Luke, who is the.only one who presents this sto­ ry, thus fills out the picture of the divine-human personality of the One whom he purposes to reveal as the perfect and universal Saviour. I. The Child Grows (v. 40). Like every other child in: the world (apart, of course, from any sin or blemish), Jesus grew during the first 12 years of His life on earth. One rightly regards that growth as the normal, happy development of ev­ ery child, a time of physical devel­ opment, or carefree play, of learn­ ing obedience in the household at Nazareth. A child should not bear the burdens of life nor be required to make its weighty decisions. I Jesus came into the world to die as the Saviour of sinful men, but for these childhood years we are glad that He just grew, waxed strong in body as well as in spirit, ,developing mentally, and that in it -all "the grace of God was upon 'him.” May our children have a sim­ ilar opportunity and privilege! H. The Boy Meets Life’s Re­ sponsibilities (w . 41-51). SOon enough came the day when as a “son of the law” Jesus reached the age of accountability and went with His parents~tb~keep ~the-feast- of the Passover. He entered the temple, and there took over the re­ sponsibility for his own religious life, which until then had been borne by His parents. Such a day is of vital importance in the life of every boy and girl, and in the case of Jesus was of special significance. Acting for Himself, He tarried in the temple, As a good learner, He asked and answered questions, at the same time amazing those who heard by His understanding. There His mother (who had shown her con­ fidence that He was to be trusted to be where He oiigbt to be) found Him after she had looked in-vain for Him at eventide in their company on the road. To Him it was the natural and expected thing that He would be in His Fathers house, going about the business of God. He recognized the special relationship between Him­ self and the Father—His very own Father—and He began to assume the responsibility of His divine mission on earth. He was about to turn the corner from boyhood and start toward man­ hood, but there were yet 18 years that He was to show His perfect sub­ mission to the will of God by His obedience to His parents. There is a real lesson there for every grow­ ing boy and girl.. III. The Youth Goes On to Man­ hood (v. 52). . The curtain is drawn again, and the boy Jesus develops into the m an; yes, the man who was to bear on Calvary’s tree your sins and mine. What do we know about these years when a boy with the con­ sciousness that He must be about His Father’s business went forward to manhood under the loving and watchful eye of the mother who “kept all these sayings in her heart” (v. SI)? Only what Luke tells us, but that is a great deal. Jesus “advanced,” the word be­ ing entirely different in meaning from the “grew” of verse 40. The child grows without any thought or purpose of doing so, but the boy pressing on to manhood has to beat his way forward, cutting a path through life to his goal. The fact that Jesus did that should encourage every young man and woman who is doing the same in a difficult and hostile world, and cause them to seek the daily companion­ ship and help of the Son of Giod and Son of Man who has passed that way before them. The development here puts the mental first, then the physical. The latter is important, but must be un­ der control of the former. Crown­ ing them both is His growth in grace, fellowship with God and fel­ lowship with men, the latter glori­ fied and made useful by the former. Here again we may learn of Him who, though the Son of God with power, was obedient to the limita­ tions of the humanity He had taken, and yet advanced “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man” .(v. 52).

Peach Cake Is Good Come-On you want with the I A /I AYBE it’s an out Iayj next Sunday, or hi I curtains. Whatever you wish. from your family, a special Peach Cake for dinner will help win it. For right- hand aid on this dessert, try the jnew self-rising flour now on the .market. The new product has lots iof advantages over the old self-rising flour, because action is slowed so I that by the time your cake is mixed, the baking powder is only starting ;to work. Thus, you lose none of I the “risin’ ” power. I Here is the recipe to try with the .new flour: Peaeh Cake Cretim 7 tablespoons or a scant ; % cup fat. Add % cup sugar. Cream until sugar has dissolved. Add I egg and stir in thoroughly (do not beat). Add Vt cup milk and 1% cups self-rising flour alternately. Add I teaspoon extract. Pour into a greased and floured cake pan, and .bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 30 minutes. Whip I pint ^ whipping cream and add % cup sug­ ar. Split the cake. Spread lower half with I cup crushed peaches and half the whipping cream. Add top layer, and pile with another cup of crushed peaches and remaining cream. Garnish with peach slices. Juicy Fruit Roll icMakesw the MesJ TX7HEN the family tires of ber- Vv ries plain and berries fancy, try a new trick. It’s raspberry roll which folds juicy raspberries in a crisp pastry. It’s delicious, you’ll agree. An aid to shorter hours indoors is the new self-rising flour which makes hot biscuits, cakes and des­ serts in two shakes. The baking powder and salt are ready-mixed into it, thus a double saving of (I) price of these two ingredients, and .(2) the time of sifting them with the flour. Try the new, speed flour in the following summer dessert: Raspberry Boll Make pastry by cutting % cup fat into 2Vt cups self-rising flour until the mixture is thoroughly blended; adding cold water a little at a time to make a stiff dough. Roll pastry in a rectangular shape, keeping it about % inch thick. Brush lightly with I egg white diluted in 2 table­ spoons cold water. Spread with 2 cups red raspberries, % cup sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and I table­ spoon self-rising flour. RoH as for jelly roll. Wet the edges and press together to keep in the juice. Brush top of roll with remaining egg white, prick with a fork, and place in a greased dripping pan. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees F.) for 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with a hard sauce made by beating % cup butter to the consistency of thick cream, sifting in Vk cups confectioner’s sugar slowly, beating until the mass is fluffy, then adding I teaspoon flavor­ ing extract. Did Not work That New Deal reciprocal .trade agreements did not attract buyers is shown by the purchase, by countries with which these agreements were made, of meat products to the value of 17,644,000 pounds in 1935, before the agreements were made, and only 15,175,000 pounds in 1939, when aU agreements were in effect.

Not Oor War. We want to reneat: England is definitely not fighting our war for us. We are not at war with any nation and no nation is at war with us. W hat the future will be, no one knows. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. At pre­ sent we are not at war and no ua. tion is fighting one for us. There are many counties whose rulers we heartiiy dislike but if those rulers suit their people let them rule. That holds good for Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and the powers that be in Japan. It very definitely ap­ plied to Carol of Rumania until be got out. We have a kindly feeling for Great Britain. She is in'a war to the death but it is her war and not our war. There are a growing number who would have us plunge in and fight on the side'of England. They may have their way and get us into the war. That would be doing a lot more for England than she has or wonld do for any conn try including these United States. We have been and will continue-to be on friendly terms with England but the same thing is trne of all other nations. We do not think that England is fighting for ■ us or would' fight for us. We must live with the world. It was thought for a few years that the United States could not live in the same world with Soviet Russia but time has found that she could and that without thinking any better of Communism. No, Eogland.is not fighting for us. W e are not hap­ py about it. We wish it was other­ wise but the fact is that no- nation is fighting or will fight for us.— Charity And Children. Who’s What? The following press dispatch re­ cently appeared in a Eort Wayne. Ind.. oaper. Forc Wayne, Ind —Attendants at a service station, mopping their brows as the temperature reached 99 degrees yesterday, wondering how the weather was affecting southern­ ers. A woman in a car carrying Mississippi license plates drove ,in. and ordered a heater installed: On the same day, the weather re­ ports gave the reading at New Or­ leans, La., as 83 maximum. The writer has reason to remember at the sara-' time, the thermometer reachaa 101 in Chicago. Consider This Hen. (Shelby Star) It’s a hard thing to say, bat the lives of some persons, valued in ac­ tual, tangible accomplishments, are worth less than that of |a hen near Hickory, that for 19 years contribut­ ed her little bit to the world. Tha hen, lately deceased, laid many an egg in her extraordinarily long life, didn’t bother anybody and earned tier own way and, dying, left some sincere mourners. Tb re were nine­ teen years of worthwhile living. Of coarse the life of a person is worth more than the life of hen; a person has a soul; a heart and sup- tediv a conscience. Yet, many ut­ terly waste their likes and instead of making them useful make them ac­ tually deterimental. dangerous to others, become so utterly worthless that nobody, would give or give or lend five cents on the value of such a life. ' Some become so worthless that they must be placed in pison, some are actually put to death because they are nut fit to live We can’t be presidents or enjoy great power and authority. We have sense enough to know that. Few will become wealthy or famous, write a greut song or lead armies in battle. Most of us will do well to hoe our own roe, paddle our own canoe, take care of ourselves, pav our debts and stay out of jail. Yet every person may-have. at Ieast one ambition and realize it—to live a useful. worth­ while life; to give something of va­ lue, however small, to the world. Solomon advised sluggards to look to the ant. Some might well look to that 19 year-old hen. Times Require a Tre­ mendous Vote. Washington Review, official pub­ lication of the United States Cham, her of Commerce adds its weight to the, appeal that the popular vote in the forthcoming general elections be boosted to record proportions. Because of the momentous char­ acter of the issues involved in the national elections, the Chamber be­ lieves, business men should exert every influence they have to get as comprehensive a registration of public opinion as possible through' the voting in November. The commerce group places em­ phasis on the value of a "definite and conclusive decision at the pre­ sent. time, when far reaching chan­ ges are in progress. "It will clarify the national out> look, both politically and' economi­ cally,’and tend to eliminate uncer­ tainties which make for confusion and retard national progress,’’ ob­ serves the /publication, adding, "It will enable business management to plan ahead with a greater de­ gree of certainty, particularly as to the political restraints and require­ ments which it will be required to observe "M any of the issues to be decid ed are economic, or have an eco­ nomic bearing and, whatever the decision may be, it shonld remove as far as possible th e, element of doubt' as to the attitude of the A- merican people.’’ In all of which the Chamber is assuredly taking a stand distin­ guished by patent virtues. The greatest certainties which conld possibly be established as to the attitude of the American peo­ ple would still Ieav^ us darkened by the shadow of the impenetrable fog which shrouds Europe and A- sia and casts its deceptive fringes across the borders of Africa , But so long as these obfuscations ate of foreign origin and are,, be­ yond onr control, the United States not only owes itself the advantages of an united public opinion and a national solidarity, but it owes it self, too; cbe clear definition of the quality and the degree of that un­ animity so that there may be no whisperings in the’dark corners of foreign lands, about American be Ing disorganized, and about fac tinns in the United States being at c.oss purposes of internal conflict. “ Whatever thedecision may be,” as the Washington Review remarks, let the people of the land turn out in unprecedented hordes next elec­ tion day and have their say in a volume indicative of the full art! dilate power of the world's great­ est nation of peoples. The individuals who are to di­ rect the course of government dur­ ing the next four years, whoever they may ..be, and however they may condaci the affairs of this gov­ ernment should have, ‘ if they are to sustain the prestige of the Uni ’ ted States among the nations of the world, the impressive support of great mass endorsement; and the inspiration of .demonstrated public interest.—Salisbury Post. • Mrs. Baker Supports Wilikie.

Mrs.' Newton D, Baker of Cleveland, O,, widow of President Wilson’s sec­ retary of war,, pledging her sup­ port in bis campaign for the presi­ dency. As a’ long-time Democrat, she critized the policies of "new deal, ers who have seized control of - our party” and the government’s spend, ing program and asserted "the bvp- dcritical, mock convention in Chi cago” was “the final straw.” Shouting. We paused on the road obe night recently and listened for a while to a meeting In si church house near, by TUete was much shooting. Those who were not shouting seem: ed to think-that the shouters had good reason for glorifying. their Lord with shouts. Of course the church was not one of those that we attend. .. Stich conduct would horrify our sort of Christians. It would be considered crude- not to say common to - give way to the emotion in any such unseemly man­ ner. As we sat and listened we thought, why not? If the Lord has done tor them what they are: claiming, is it not enough to make them shout? We heard the shout, "M y sins are forgiven! M ysoulis saved!” Now really is not that enough to make one shout? We sat in a stadium and beard thous Znds of people shoot when a touch­ down was made. Is it more- glor­ ious to make a touchdown than to save a soul? We attended a poli tical meeting. We heard men shout themselves hoarse at a very medio ere speech but they would feel scan­ dalized if som e one would shout during a soul stirring sermon. .We thought about those things the' other night as we listened, from a distance, fo the shouting in the lit­ tle cbnrchhouse. - Is it possible that we so-called Christians do not have anything as important as a touch­ down or a bombastic political speech to shout?—Charity and Children.

Boro On A Farm. Wendell Willkie was born and rais ed in a small town in the heart of a farming section. Sp deeply has Wen­ dell Wilikie been attached to the snil that in recent years he has shown his faith in American farming by putting his Bavingsinto Indiana farm land. He believes that farming land is the finest investment in this coun­ try and he knows how to operate a farm. In Senator NcNary, the Republi­ can Convention at Philadelphia offer- ed to American farmers the sturdiest battler for agriculture in the coun­ try. For more than 20 years Senat­ or McNary, day in'and day oiit, has fought for measures to alleviate the difficulties of the American farmer. In this respect he does rot have a peer within or without the govern­ ment. . American agricultural will indeed be safe in the hands of Wendell Will kie and Charles McNary1 and the A- me-jcan farmer knows this to be true. C areers in E ngineering . By Rufus T. Strohm . Dan, International CarretponJenee Schools . A NY young man who is planning a career In engineering must give consideration to the pay. he inay earn. A recent study, showed that the earning curve ot engineers as a class continues upward to wall past the age of 50, in sharp con­ trast to that of the artisan or technician whose earnings usually taper off after '40. Incidentally! this upward tfend also is common to most other professions, such as law and medicine.An effort has been made by the United States Civil Service Com­mission to divide the various grades of engineering ability into eight brackets, with annual com­ pensations ranging from $2,000 for the junior professional grade with duties'under immediate supervision, to *9,000 or over for special ad- uitnistrative work.' '.nother study of salaries for- engineering graduates conducted by the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education showed a : lirst-year salary of $1,475. After five' years the salary was $2,860, and then upward to about *7,500 thirty ' years after graduation. The highest ten per cent of thi3 group reached salaries averaging $80,000. tJever before' have the oppor- . !unities in engineering been', so great.

AAA exe­ cutive officer, has announced De cember 7 as the date on which cot. ton growers of Ni. rth Carolina and the South will go to the polls to vote on the 1941 marketing quota pro­ gram. Showing no charge. from • that in effect this year and in 1938 and 1939, the 1941 program would make pos­ sible the marketing of approximate ■ Iy 12.000.000 bales of cotton Thei acreage allotted would be near that of this year, which was 27.900,000. However, farmers planted only 25,- 100,000 acres of the national allot­ ment. Before the 1941 program can go into effect, two-thirds or more of the eligible growers voting must favor the allotment plan. Lart vear, quotas were approved by 91 2 per­ cent of the producers who voted in the December referendum, similar­ ly. the quota programs for the 1938 and 1939 crops were approved by large majorities. Farmers who plant within their acreage allotments under the pro­ gram will be able to market all of the cotton grown on their piloted acreage without penalty. If quotas are voted, those producers wim ma-- ket in excess of their.quotas ,vui be required to pay a penalty ef three cents a pound on all cotton sold in excess of the individual marketing quotas set up for their farms Floyd explained that the 1941 marketing quota for the nation was announced following official deter­ mination that on August I the total supply of cotton' was 24.900,000 bales or 137 percent of the "normal” sup* ply of 18.200.000 bales. Good Argument. The CourierTribune:- Person and Johnston counties have voted the liquor stores out. This heartens the,state’s drys in their ef­ forts to entirely run liquor stores out of North Carolina. Theywill point to reversal of opinion in tInee coun­ ties as evidence that the state wants none of this legal liquor nor the tax thereon.. North Carolina’s legal liquor will be up against a fig he in the coming session of the legislature. Already there is a- movement under way to a- bolish the state liquor control board, substituting therefore a collecting a- gency in the state revenue depart­ ment and thereby save some money Another move, and one will give the liquor folks more trouble than that of change in method of control, will be that to abolish the ABCetores al­ together from the state. -' It is the age-old fight between the wets and drys, and one which never fails to bring on a spirited fight. It does appear, however, that the drys have plenty of argument to out­ law legal liquor. BUYER MEETS C C l I C D 1M 0UR AD0L L L L i n colum ns.... T H E D A Y IE RECORD, M O CKSY ILLE, N. C.

CHAPTER I—Continuea "One minute," Miss Agatha com­ manded. “I should really like to kn^w.Jiow you ran, across, Kenneth Grahame." Again I heard the elevator bell. ' “In books, Miss 'Taget." She marked the broad servility in my voice and the wrinkles about her alert eyes deepened. “Then what,” she asked, “are you doing in a job’ like this?'* “At present I'm keeping the ele­ vator waiting. Excuse me." The bell was silent when I reached the outer hall. I took the car down. Eddie Hoyt was back. He frowned as I stepped from the elevator. “Fella,” he said, “when you take that thing up you’re supposed to bring it back again. Miss Ferriter kad to walk up!" “Eddie,” I said, ‘Tve been rid­ den plenty.” “Bad as that?” he asked. “Worse,” I told him, “and listen: if. that blood-sweating behemoth in the circus suit inspired your crack, •sic him from me why he had the car skied for a half-hour while you jrere out.” “Oh ho,” said Eddie. “Oh ho, what?” I asked. He shrugged. "Just oh ho. You called at the Sphere again, Dave?” “I did. This morning. Once the answer was, ‘No opening at the min­ ute.’ Now it’s just, ‘No opening.” ’ “Tough,” he sympathized. “Why don’t you ditch it and go home? TOs ain’t your sort of work, Dave.” “You’re telling me,” I replied. •TH starve first, Eddie. And that may not be so far off either. Hig­ gins is on the prod." “Easy,” Hoyt muttered and, as the signal buzzed, retired to the switchboard. Higgins, still in his Ixirrowed plumage, came lurching 'In from the sidewalk. The coals of earlier wrath smoldered in his little eyes, and I felt my own anger re­ vive as he paused before me. “Mallory,” he grumbled, “I want to talk to you." I thought of my job and of the odd expression on the. face of the girl, Allegra, when I had talked back to Miss Agatha and, though common sense muttered unheeded warning, I said: “Shoot.” My flippancy stung him. “What I want to know,” he said heavily, “is what you meant by that crack about ‘doubling in brass.’ ” “Simple,” I told him. “A joke.” I pointed at the gilt trappings of Ihe doorman’s coat. “Brass,” I said. “Superintendent masquerading as doorman. There­ fore doubling in brass. Begin to get it?” Higgins looked dubious and then Insulted. “The trouble with you, me lad, is that you think you’re too bloody good for your job. I’m—” From the switchboard’s alcove, Eoyt called: “Hey, Mr. Higgins, Ferriters’ line must be on the blink. They’ve left the receiver oS or something.” •TH tend to that presently,” Hig­ gins informed him. “What I want to tell you, Mallory, is—” “Hey,” Hoyt said tensely. “Hear it?” Above someone screamed and I saw the red. fade from Higgins' face. The sound ceased. It broke out again, louder, shriller, as though horror had abolished aU self-control. It soared and fell and rose again, like a siren gone mad. Higgins crossed himself. Hoytbabbledfrom the switchboard with the receiver still clamped to his ear: “It’s Up in Three B.” CHAPTER H Higgins’ rush thrust me .aside. He dammed the door in my face as I reached the elevator. I ran for the stairs and took them three at a time toward the screeching that tore the pious silence of the Morello to tet­ ters. I reached the third floor ahead of the ancient car. Before the closed door of the Fer- liter apartment, Allegra seemed to wrestle with Miss Ferriter. Nearer me, in the hall, someone in a maid's uniform hopped about, making siUy sounds, and on the threshold of the Paget flat, a stout, older woman wrung her hands and gaped. I heard AHegra gasp as she tried to control the wrenching body: “IonAl What is it? Answer me.” A new spasm shook lone Ferri­ ter. She began again those long- drawn bursts of screaming and over A^egra’s shoulder I saw a white face, wide-mouthed, distorted, like a Greek tragic mask. Hoyt came toiling up the stairs be­ hind me. Higgins blundered from the elevator. “Hey,” he bawled. “What’s all this—?” Another shriek tore through his query. I caught Miss Ferriter’s shoulders and shook, her. She gasped. I shook her again. “Stop it,” I bade. “Stop it, do you hearj What’s the matter?" Beneath my hands, I felt her twitch and quake but the screaming ceased.. She made a feeble ges­ ture toward the door. “In there,” her whisper rasped. “He’s—” Her body gave way. It grew so inertly heavy that AHegra and Hoyt and I had trouble holding it. Over the sagging head, I asked Higgins: “Can you get a key?" He nodded b u t S tiU stood, gaping and uncertain, till a competent voice spoke from the Paget doorway. “AUegra, Bertha, Edward;? it or­ dered. “Pick’her up. 'Lay her on my bed, Allegra. Keep her head down. Annie, take some cognac to Miss Allegra.” Miss Paget sat on her threshold in a wheel chair. She trundled her­ self into thie hall to make.way for those who bore the senseless woman and looked from Higgins to me. The. elevator bell shrilled frantically and frightened voices called in the air shaft.“Just what,” Miss Paget asked calmly, “was all this about?” Higgins answered in a husky voice, “Something’s wrong in there," and nodded to the reticent door. There was an instant of si­ lence. Then the old lady asked po­ litely: , “What are you waiting for, Timo­ thy? Or perhaps you two men would rather have me look.” The superintendent fumbled in his uniform with a sickly grin. He looked at me with less dislike than he had shown aH day. “C ’m on, Mallory,” he ordered, and moved toward the door. He “May I ask what you intend to do now?" unlocked jit but stood aside for me to enter.' ■ The furniture sat in self-conscious, orderly rectitude. There was a tro­ phy of arms above the fireplace— rapiers, claymores, sabers and less familiar blades; which shone coldly in the wintry light, and there was a long couch beside the hearth. “Everything’s oke,” Higgins said more to himself than to me. “May­ be she’s gone daffy; maybe she got bad news or something. She could of been stewed. Let’s look around the rest of the place.” “Hold on,” I told him. “What?” he jerked. “The phone,” I said. It stood on a table between the couch and the wall. The receiver hook was empty. Something else was out of place. A fringed lampshade lay on the floor beyond the couch. I peered over the sofa’s back into the space be­ yond and saw the lamp’s overturned standard and beside it— . I heard Higgins' low moan. I felt his breath come and-.go upon my neck. I said: “He’s been killed.” “Who?” Higgins asked in a whis­per. A man lay on his back beside the fallen lamp. His head was tilt­ ed so that his blade beard pointed upward like a charred stump at the telephone receiver dangling from the table. His hands were drawn up as though he had tried to clutch the lapels of his coat and the left side of his vest was glistening and sodden. I answered, slowly, for my mouth was sticky. “I never saw him before.” A low but steady sound came to­ ward us. Higgins held his breath.- I tiptoed toward the door as Miss Paget prcpeUed herself into the room. She looked at us with a pa­ rental severity. “Well?” she prompted. In relief we babbled our discovery. I began, but Higgins’ heavy speech beat mine down and took command. “Right over there, Miss Paget," he rattled. “Behind the couch where nobody’d be likely to see him. If you’H roll forward just a little—" The old lady’s calm voice sheared through his babbling. “No doubt," she replied. “May I ask what you intend to do now?" Higgins stared. “In' such’ cases," she told him,, “it is' usually customary to notify the poUce, I believe.” ‘ ; The'superintendent- blundered to­ ward the telephone, shrank back from the presence of Uie concealed body and, reaching across the couch bade, picked up the. instrument. He waited, impatiently ratUing the hook and then, with a grunt, set down the telephone R f . YAN K MHTCK W . M .U . s e r v i c e “Nobody on the switchboard," he stuttered. ‘TH go down meself,” and rushed from the room. Miss Agatha called after him: - “Timothy. Be sure the- door is locked behind you.” “Yes'm," he replied and we heard it slam. The old lady looked hard at me as I moved toward the hall. “It might be weU,” I explained, “to look through the rest of the apartment.” She shook her.head.. IJiave seen' few .murders, even at my age, but I understand it is best to do nothing tiU the police come. Usually, there­ after, they foHow your example.” She sat quite still in her .chair by the door and her eyes searched slowly through aH Ibe room. After a moment she asked, nod* ding toward the concealing couch: “When did he come in?” “I don’t know,’* I replied. “I never saw him." She leaned back in her chair, her hands folded in her angular lap, her eyes narrow with thought. She asked at length: “When did lone—Miss Ferriter— come in?” . “I think it was she who rang the bell while I was in your apartment. She had to walk up.” She appeared to turn CUs over in her mind. The dock ticked loudly. Miss Agatha emerged from what­ ever inner communion she had held and looked at me again. “You heard her screaming. What did you think of it?” I did not answer forvso long that she shrugged at last and said: “That was a silly question. For­ get it.” “No, it wasn't,” I replied slowly. "It’s just that I hadn’t thought of it before. You mean there was some­ thing more than fright in the sound?” “Do I?" she retorted. I went on: “WeU, I mean it then. She was frightened by finding a man dead on her floor. There was some­ thing else. A deeper terror per- Her gaze abashed me a Uttle. I grinned and shrugged. “That’s probably aU imagina­ tion,” I told her. “Anyway, Miss Ferriter is a gifted screamer. She sounded like the Eumenides on the wing." Her thin eyebrows arched. Again I felt .that she regarded me. as a curiosity and once more it irked me. “They, were; surprised”—I grinned at that patrician, .puzzled face— “when I spoke to the waiter in Greek." She started to reply and turned her head sharply as the outer door opened. Higgins and a hard-breath­ ing patrolman entered the room. “Over beyond the couch he lays,” the superintendent informed the po­ liceman with a discoverer’s pride. The fear that had been a bond be­ tween us was gone now. He stared at me and growled: “Go downstairs, MaUory. Miss Paget, there’ll be nobody let in here now till the Hommycide Squad comes."Hoyt brought the car down and came to lean against the switch­ board with a shaky grin. “Whew!” he said. “That girl do it?”I said “No,” prompted more by a vestige of chivalry than knowl­ edge. Hoyt glanced over his shoul­ der at the loiterers in the foyer, and strove to keep the secret that for a few minutes made him their superior. He mumbled: “He had a black beard, eh? When did he come in? We’d ’a’ spotted him, wouldn’t we? A guy with a beard, hey? When did he get JnT TeH me that.” “I can’t,” I said. I was. shaky and I ached for another cigarette. “Maybe he came in September and hid tiU he grew it.” “Aw,” said Hoyt and stared to­ ward the front door. ' The police- man on duty there had admitted a half-dozen men in civiUan clothes and then had barred the way to oth­ ers who strove to foUow. The intruders tramped down the haH toward ust satchel-laden, indif­ ferent and unspectacular as the first half-dozen men oS a suburban train.' A man with reddish gray hair like embers and'a-stubborn freckled face, paused and said to Hoyt: “Homicide Squad, Mac. Take us up.” >Eddie obeyed. Lingering tenants, when I evaded their questions, wan­ dered back to their. apartments. Higgins emerged from .his base* ment apartment. He had doffed Wik son’s regalia, evidently «n the the­ ory that one uniform at the door was all. the. house required. He squinted about the foyejr and then ambled over to the switchboard. Hia breath was heavy .with the fumes of a recent drink. I envied him. Alcohol had . softened him and something less , apparent worried him; H e bent confidentially toward me. “Listen, MaUory,” he said with the gUbness of rehearsal.. “Maybe I was a mite hasty a while ago. We’U let bygones be bygones. Lis­ ten: They’ll be' questionin’ aU oi us- See? There’s none of us to be Ieavin' the buildin’ tiU they’re through. You do me a good turn, now.

Our esteemed and jovial rival, Franklin Pierce Adams, said that he made up a joke which he sees is now a campaign button, The one about Willkie for President—of Com­ monwealth & Southern. Fact is that a photograph of that button ran in the- New York Mirror on the edi- toral page and was a stale joke weeks before The Mirror editor ran it. Russ Davenport quit Fortune to help Mr. Willkie, and wrote a piece for it about his man. So J. Cham­ berlain (formerly a book critic) of the paper wrote one for Roosevelt. Sort of a battle page. Wal, Russ took a dig at Johnny In his. Said something about not having the time to read a book as be was busy mak­ ing a President. The rest of the staff decided to go buy Russ a copy of Mortimer J.

Carleton Alsop was a socially prominent' ra­ dio producer . . . He gave Martha the role of AUce Blair in one of his WOR serials because she needed a job to eat and because the script caUed for an unknown youngster out to achieve fame and happiness in the Big City . . . The hero of the strip drama was a man-about-town author patterned after Alsop’s per­ sonality . . . The struggUng AUce of the continuity eventually married the dashing hero. Just as the struggUng Martha Scott, promoted from the hungry Rehearsal Club days—through her playing in the stage and screen “Our Town” and “The Howards of Vir­ ginia”—was married the other day in a Fifth Avenue church to the pop­ ular Carleton Alsop. One of the Roosevelt boys was in La Conga. the other night and a drunk started getting chummy. “My • father and your father,” he hic­ coughed, “yoosh’d to be dash- matesh. Sho I want you to know we’re for your pop” . . .

THE MESSAGE QF JOHN THE BAPTIST LESSON TEXT—Lulie 3:3. 8-17, 21. 22.COLDEN TEXT—Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentence,—Luke 3:8. Four centuries of silence! God .made a loviiig appeal to His people through Malachi, the prophet (see lesson of June 23), but they failed to respond, and for about 400 years no: prophet had appeared with an authoritative message from God. But now .“God, who at sundry times -and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the proph­ ets” was. ready in the “last days” to speak by “his Son” (Heb. 1:12). Before the Lord should come, however, the prophet Isaiah (40:3- : 5): had declared that a1 voice was to come otit of the wilderness to cry, “Prepare ye the way of 'the Lord.” The great honor of that ministry did not fall upon the religious or political leaderis mentioned in Luke 3:1, but “the word of God’came unto John . . . in the wilderness.” When God calls a preacher, ,something vital and interesting is about to hap­ pen. I. The Preacher—His Call and Character. It is significant that the call of God for this miinstiy passed by the mighty of Rome, which was polit­ ically powerful, holding sway over the world of its day. It is doubly, significant that it passed by Jeru­ salem, the religious center of the Jewish nation. God was not looking for influence, prestige, or position. He was looking for a man, and He found him, though He had to seek him in the wilderness. Where is God’s man for our day? The character of John is revealed to us by Scripture as unique and rugged. He was a striking figure as he came suddenly out of the wilder­ ness, but the outstanding qualifica­ tion of John was that he was humble and obedient to God’s will. . Upon such a man the power of 'God may fall in all its fullness. n . His Messager-Its Nature and Ihe Reaction (vy. 3, 8-14). ' Repentance, as evidenced by bap­ tism, this was John’s word to his day. He did not grant them absolu­ tion from their sins, but in repent­ ance they were to look forward to the cleansing from sin by the wash­ ing of the blood of Christ who was to come. John was the forerunner of Christ. His message of repent­ ance was a preparation for the com­ ing message of redemption. The reaction of the people is ex­ pressed in the question, “What must we do?” Much more would be ac­ complished for Christ in our day if that were the response of people to the preaching of the truth. Instead of criticizing or commending the preacher, or the sermon, let us ask, “What shall I do about it?” and then let us do it. The answer of John was that each one should, by his works, show the reality of his repentance in the de­ tails of his daily work and life. Of course, the all-important thing is that a man should believe in Christ, and by faith receive Him as Saviour, but that faith must show itself in daily living or if is meaningless, and, in fact, nonexistent. The world is full of those who need to answer our Lord’s own question, “Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46). ' m . His Ministry to /esns—the Baptism and Heavenly Response (w . 15-17, 21, 22). The forthright honesty and the hu­ mility of John appeared in his im­ mediate correction of the people's mistaken idea that he was the Christ. He made clear that his bap­ tism with water, indicating their change of mind concerning sin, would only have real meaning as the coming One—his Lord and ours —would change their natures by the baptism of fire and of the Spirit. Jesus, who knew no sin of which to rtp|nt, took the place of a peni­ tent sinner and was baptized by John. Thus He, the sinless One, entered upon IQs public ministry .and His work of redemption by tak­ ing the place of . fallen humanity. What infinite grace and condescen­ sion! As He prayed, after John had bap­ tized Him, the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit, taking the form of the gentle dove, rested upon Him. God the Father spoke forth heaven’s estimate of our Saviour; 'He was declared to be the “beloved Son” of God, in whom the Father was “well pleased.” This attestation of His divinity and recognition of His spotless life and character was for Hina, but not for Him alone. It speaks to us, even as it has spoken to all men through the centuries, of the One who is Saviour and Lord. “He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them: For such an high priest be­ came us, who is 'holy, harmless undefiled, separate from sinners; and mads higher than the heavens’- -(Heb. 7:25, 26).

The dearth of outstanding candidates for boxing’s greatest title is no recent development. And the situation is not improving. Boxing is staggering and reeling: from the repeated beatings it has taken during the past three years— particularly in the heavyweight ranks. Promoters have attempted to foist upon the public matches which are nothing more than exhibi­ tions—and poor ones, at that. Prize fight fans consistently have been subjected to a diet of second raters and has-beens. The mere fact that several of these individu­ als gave the champion a chance to demonstrate his prowess doesn’thelp matters. Fans pay to see a con­ test, not a shadow boxing demon­ stration. Only two candidates, for heavy­ weight honors are worthy of the name. One is Pat Comiskey, a glum young Irishmanwbo is being brought into the top brackets too quickly. The other contender Is Billy Conn, a light-heavyweight whose ambition may overcomb his lack of weight. Questionable Victory Conn has been the subject of many a heated debate. His recent 13-round victory over Bob Pastor in Madison Square Garden did little to enlarge his stature. It was far from a clean- cut victory which Conn achieved over the one-time N. Y. U. football play­ er. The punch that sent Pastor down and out, a left to the body, was just another of the numerous low blows which Billy landed throughout the fight. In the first place, the fight was an attempt by Mike Jacobs to make out of the 174-pound Conn a second Gene Tunney. However, Conn will never have Tunney’s size or weight. Nor will he acquirie Gene’s determi- nation and singular adherence to purpose. Conn did have a good left, which he used with telling effect. In addi­ tion, he was faster on his feet and BILLY CONN had considerably more stamina. But those factors alone are not enough. Louis would have little-difficulty with Conn. The Pittsburgh youth likely could keep out of the champ’s reach during the early rounds, but sooner or later that dynamite-laden right would bomb Billy to the can­ vas. Comiskey, on the other hand, has plenty of wild-eyed backers. But even those fans readily admit that herTacks sufficient seasoning. Be­ fore-his recent departure from the preliminary ranks, young Patrick knocked out 25 of the 29 opponents whom he faced. J Looking at the Field He is Uttle, better than a,-novice at the moment, being so new to big- time competition, but he has a whale of a punch—something almost im­ possible to develop. Given another year of experience, Pat well may be Louis’ most formidable foe. As for the. rest of the field, the less said the better. Lou Nova is attempting a comeback under the guiding hand of Manager Ray Car­ lin. Bfis star faded into obscurity when, he took a brutal beating from Tony Galento in Philadelphia a year ago. . The perennial Max Baer still weaves around the outer fringe of eligible contenders. .

NEW YORK--One of the greatest philippics of William Pitt was his famous denunciation of that foul word, "democracy,” which had ... „ „ . come into the M erw m K . H ert English Ian- Joins in A ttache guage “from O n ‘D em ocracy sewers of . . P a r is .” To him its only associations' were homicide and madness. This de­ partment has noted recently 11 com­ parable attacks on this subversive word from similarly respectable and authoritative sources. The latest is the address by Merwin K. Hart, at the Union League club in which Mr. Hart “suspected” that the word was eased into the country, subversively, by the Communist Internationale in 1935. This thesis, which may devel­ op into something of an Amer­ ican “kuiturkampf,” is based on the contention that the founding fathers set np not a democracy, but a republic, and that the word, “democracy,” is insepa­ rable from Dnbions Marxist as­ sociations. Mr. Hart also insists that the Marxists have kidnaped the word “liberal,” which was all right until it got into bad company. Mr. Hart is president of the New York State Economic council. He has been for many years a vigorous and hard-hitting assailant of radical­ ism in any form. He shells the “subversionists” from his estate on Pippin hill near Utica. His targets have been labor unions, child labor legislation, social insurance, social­ ized medicine, compulsory health insurance and extravagant expendi­ tures for public education. Graduated from Harvard in 1901, Mr. Hart has made his business career in insurance, law and manufacturing. He was gassed in the war, is a li­ censed aviator and a patron of aviation. He urges national dis­ cipline. In his Union League ad­ dress he warned us that we are becoming too soft to stand np against the “tongher products that result from a fascist educa­ tion.” OIR ERIC COATES was the first ^ British composer to treat mod­ ern syncopation seriously, and write compositions in the quickened beat. c . „ , Many bricksSii^ L o n fe s o f were thrown Q uickened B eat in his direc- G ets Last Toot tiPn .** his classical con­ freres, but now he gets the last word—or the last toot. They gear their whirling war machines to his “hot licks” tempo, broadcast to the forges and workbenches. It is speed-up music and workers and machines catch the pace. A favorite piece is his recent “Calling AU Workers” in which he says he sought to capture the spirit of the “wonderful British people in their war effort.’^ It is a tribnte to the surpris­ ing adaptability of'the British . at a time when their traditional wbrk-beat was supposed to be something like “Anld Lang Syne.” Significantly, war and rumors of war. stir Bvely music and frantic dancing, as attested by the historic dance of the Carmagnole which has been the forerunner of Enropean wars and revolutions, the jazz out­ break before our entry into the World war, and the present swing craze. A t'any rate, Sir Eric is in tune with the times and by all accounts Old England 1 is, too, as her war production hits a machine-gun tempo to the beat of a swing baton. Sir Eric was a romanticist and classicist, which makes his change of pace all the more interesting. For many years, he was the prin­ cipal viola in the Queen's HaU or- shestra. He -gradually gained emi­ nence by his numerous orchestral works and songs and became a Fel- low of the Royal Academy of Music in 1922.. One of his best-known songs is “I Pitch My Lonely Caravan at Night”—a mood ironically at vari­ ance with London’s night-time mus- ings just now. He is the son of a back country surgeon. His avoca­ tion is photography which passion he indulges even when the bombs are falling. IN 1905 Joseph A. Rosen arrived I at Michigian State agricultural college from Russia with fifty cents and a few grains of rye. The fifty cents blossomed into the education sf Dr. Rosen and the handful of rye spread over 1,500,000 acres in .Can­ ada and the United States, the high­ est yielding rye in the world known as “Rosen rye.”" Today Dr. Rosen, as head of the European Refugee colony in the Dominican Republic, reports things are going swim­ mingly .in this new-home base for the .victims of aggression abroad. —'T.-T'-?---- ,U - ' a - . -**• - -“ I " ' W M LET’S SWING INTO FALL (See Recipes Below) Three cheers!

Moj Nary, RepuUicafl candidate few Vice - President, and co-author, of th e U c N a r p Haugen bill. . A Senator MeNacy Senator Mc- Nary said the R epublican adm inistra­ tion n n d e r ■ Wendell Will- ■ Me "will further, and by every means, seek to enlarge Uie , American market for farm prod­ ucts—both by improving Uie consuming power of city con­ sumers and also by encourag­ ing; the industrial uses of farm raw materials. Thirdly, it will search for a formula for freeing the American farm price from the vagaries of foreign markets; putting the farmer on the same footing with other American pro­ ducers, who sell at the Ameri­can—not the world—price.” Senator McNary’s speech sounded the keynote of the Republican cam­ paign on the farm problem. He criticized the woeful failure of the New Deal to solve the farm problem in a permanent and effective man­ ner. He said, "Actually, the basic farm problem is no nearer solution today than it was on March 4th, 1933. The New Deal has readied none of its fundamental objectives. Its farm program is a thing of shreds and patches; settling noth­ ing; merely putting off the day of reckoning. If I did not believe Uwt the New Deal’s ‘success’ could be enormously bettered, I should not— as a farmer and a friend of the farmer—be standing before iron to­ day. If I thought Uiat the best the Government of the United States had to offer the farmer was regimented subsistence and a permanent state of disparity, then I should despair for my country.” The speaker endorsed heartily the statement, made on several occa­ sions by Mr. Willkie, to the effect that the present form -of the farm program would be continued until something better can be developed. He said, "I know of no one who ad­ vocates withholding from the farmer the grants he now has—soil conser­ vation, parity payments, crop loans, and other benefits—until the pro­ longed emergency is past and the farmer no longer is at a disadvan­ tage. I have many farmer friends who are gravely concerned over the deficits which these benefits—to­ gether with all the New Deal’s ex­ penditures—are piling up for de­ ferred payment. The farm popula­ tion will pay its full share in meet­ ing these bills. Furthermore, the administration of these vast pater­ nalistic enterprises leaves much to be desired. The inevitable faults of bureaucracy—red tape, favorit­ ism, confusion and delay—plague these enterprises. They should be decentralized. Costs should be re­ duced.” His direct statement giving bis . yiew on the relative merits of the New Deal administration of the farm program and the Re­ publican policy was as follows: "The New Deal, satisfied with its farm program, sees the ag­ gregate improvement it Iuis been able to make in the farm­ ers’ lot a maximum aim. I see it as a minimum. I accept that program only as a stopgap sub­ stitute for something better un­ til something' better can be pro­ vided. And I assert, in full confi­ dence, that the next administra­ tion will b eab ie to provide something better”’ In further explanation of the dif­ ference between the New Deal ac­ complishments and- the aggressive Republican policy on the from prob­ lem Senator McNary declared, “An administration1 worth its salt will strive for parity prices—not parity payments. It will seek to make our surpluses a blessing and notacurse.” Regarding the results of the New Deal farm program, the candidate said, "Surrounded by mountainous surpluses, or re­ serves, the farmer has been - frozen into a dependence on the government. The New Deal, as everyone knows, did not invent the farm problem. Its offense lies in the fact that, finding ag­ riculture ill of a functional dis­ order, it made the disorder chronic. He continued, “Secretary Wallace has renamed -the agricultural sur­pluses. You. will, of course, recall that the great gluts, of wheat, com and cotton that still plague the New Deal began as plain surpluses.. Then, in 1938, Mr. Wallace changed the name, but not the substance, to tiie ‘ever-normal granary’—a condition, which, if not checked, seems on the way to providing ever-normal-pov­ erty for the farmer.” COTTON!

POLING. I talked to Wendell Willkie a. bout religion. "W hat is tbe re­ ligion of Wendell Willkief W hat are his religious ideals and relation, ships?" Christian Herald readers want to know—the stream of let­ ters steadily rising makes that clear. In the June issue of Christian Herald when we carried pictures of four candidates for tbe presidency in each of the major political par­ ties this man Willkie was not in the Republican "gallery." H e was not among the first four or even the first eight. But three weeks later he was Republican presidential no­ minee. No wonder we wonder. After reading a few laudatory bi­ ographical sketches, talking to a few Willkie fans and re-reading some of Mr. Willkie’s speeches I took a plane for Indiana to gather first hand material for the answer to tbe question of Christian Her. aid readers; “ W hat, is the relig­ ion of Wendell Wilikie?" As a non-partisan religious jonrnal we were bound to do something about that question for already we bad answered similar question concern­ ing President Roosevelt, Candidate Roger Babson on th e' Prohibition party and Candidate Norman Tho­ mas of the Socialist party. Since 1932 three major articles have pre­ sented President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the considerably more than one million readers of this journal — laudatory articles they were of course Before my Indi- ana trip the available material in the field of my search was limited. Who’s Wbo in America” listed Mr. Willkie’s church as "Episco­ pal," That was something, K r every sketch in “ Who’s Who", has been personally O. K ’d by tbe sketchee. Mr. Willkie did not for-! get or choose to omit (many men j do) bis religious affiliation. I star- i ted with a favorable impression. During the weeks since the .hectic Philadelphia national convention letters received from the "lunatic fringe” that bo-ders every faith had variously informed me that Mr. Willkie is “ an infidel,” “ a Ca­ tholic," “a Jew,” and that "he doesn’t believe tbe Bible.” But in fairness let me add that two gen tlemen wearing tbe right button bad reassured me with tbe word that Mr. Willkie had “almost” been elected president of the Y. M. C. A. while a student in the Uni versitv of Indiana and that only the war prevented' him from be­ coming a foreign missionary! A fte rtb a tI took the air, and landed in Cincinnati ✓ From Cin­ cinnati to Rusbville, Indiana, I traveled by train. They call it the "W illkie Special.” It is ah accom­ modation train, a two-car gasoline motor and it stops at tbe cross roads. The schedule is slow—two hours and thirty three minutes for 84 miles, but ohe has' time to see the ripening corn, the grazing cat­ tle, the church spires dominating the village sky lines, also the an­ cient coach is air-conditioned. I found Wendell Willkie like that —village and open country, tbe friendly Middle West modernized,, but still friendly, olr' fashioned, in. timate. H e is from Indiana, but still of it He personifies success that doesn’t forget the worthy though humble past. For a great multitude without respect to party ties there is significance and even reassurance in the fact that a man who may become President locates his personal campaign headquarters not in Chicago’s Loop, nor in New York’s Manhattan, but in Rush, ville, Rush county, Indiana. And it may be just another illusion but we like it—tbe farm boy as master of Wall Street and a resolute mak­ er of tbe greater America. But what about that question? We came back with the answer.' We got it from 'the townsfolk and church members, from pastors and from Mr. Willkie himself. Mrs. Willkie’s family is Presbyterian, as is Mrs. Willkie herself—earnestly, actively so. There is a reserve a- bout this gracious lady, a certain shyness that shrinks from the cam­ eras and camera men at tbe church door. Her life has been different. Worship just doesn’t belong to tbe calculating give and take of a po litical campaign. She would wor­ ship quietly, unobserved. And her husband is of the same mind. Re­ ligion for these Willkies, isn’t a pose, it is a practice. I can under stand —once in my old home town I was asked to’ kiss mv blessad mo­ ther while the camera ground. That was perhaps the only request of a brother newspaper man I ever re­ fused. Had he snapped me una­ wares it would have been different, Worship is like that. Wendell Willkie’s parents weie Methodists and devout.-some would say "severe.” Their son has only reverence for his memories of them. His own Sunday school days were boisterous, but he has not forgot­ ten the lessons. “I am still learn­ ing them,” he said. As a young man he was confirmed and became a member of old St. Stephens Epis­ copal church. A poor and strug­ gling parish, it was a sturdy Welsh communitv. "W hy the Episcopal church?" I asked. He smiled as he replied, "Associates. A fine girl influenced me Those I liked to be with, and what I found for my­ self ” Here, Mr. Preacher, are several sermons or addresses on “ The influence of good compan­ ions.” But young Willkie was no mere ornament in bis church rela­ tions. He took an active interest in church affairs and eventually be­ came a lay reader of the Episcopal cburch. Years afterward, in Cof. feyville where he taught school, be was the organizer of one of the first if not the very first high school Y. M. C. A.’s l'n Kansas. Alsohe conducted a Y. M, C. A. camp. But what does this former lay reader of tbe Episcopal church have now to say about religion, ^about Christianity? As I sat with him in Riishyille, Indiana, I asked him the direct question, "M r. Willkie, what does religion mean to you?” He looked me in tbe eve with characteristic directness as he- replied, “ In a sense, it means everything. It is life. Unless we can keep alive and strengthen spiritual values in this world, there is no survival: Of course that is true of any time, but it is doubly true now. Tbe church above all other agencies is our hope, and it is hope, not despair or fear, hope and faith that keeps us on the march.” In another connection he said: "The Christian faith cannot be re­ conciled with the totalitarian state. Christianity, like 'democracy be­ lieves that tbe individual is of first importance—that the individual is not the creation of government, but that government is the creation of the individual. The. spiritual life must be free and not politically controlled.” These sentences I think are par­ ticularly fine: "There are men to­ day who apparently would destroy this freedom of the human spirit. There are men who say that the United States has reached its ma­ turity, that there are no more fron­ tiers. Well, Christianity has no traffic with this philosophy of de­ feat. Christianity is a faith for men who are forever breaking trails to new achievements. In bis ser­ mon in-'Jerusalem after tbe cruci­ fixion Simon Peter cried to his Au­ dience, "You killed tbe pioneer of life.” That last shows Mr. W illkie fa miliar with the Moffatt translation of the New Testament! W hatever else may he said about him here is a man terribly in earn­ est and totally honest. . Some of the wisest political heads in Ameri­ ca shook in dismay when he de­ clined the support of Father Cough­ lin. "H e could have straddled that one and saved 40,000 votes in my state," said a leader. Well, many others have "straddled that one,” but Mr. Willkie couldn't. H e be­ lieves that intolerance is one of the greatest social sins, He believes in America, America with her consti­ tution and the Bill of Rights, and in all her civil liberties. And I be­ lieve that long after this particular incident is forgotten America will remember the moral integrity of Wendell Willkie. H is religious philosophy is a good deal like that of W ill Rogers. Will once said, “I never saw a man I didn’t like.” I got the impression one after, noon in Indiana that to be elected President Is to Wendell W illkienot the ultimate thing, but that being in all ways possible to him worthy of the presidency is primary. W ith such a formula a man can survive either success or faiiure and remain good company for himself. Also I heard him say, "There is a price I. wouldn’t pay—for any­ thing. And that is at the heart of the religion of Willkie. I am not a political prophet. Tbls is not a political journal.- I went to Indi­ ana to get for Christian Herald readers an answer to a question they seriously asked. Here is tbe answer. I do not know whether I .have written about a man who will be­ come President of the United Stales, bnt I am sore that I have written about one who is worthy to become President of tbe United States.— Christian Herald. Boieurd Must Be Unbias­ ed. Au unbiased, successful admin­ istration of national conscription act must depend largely on the lo­ cal draft boards. These boards, of three men each, are to be appoint, ed in more than 6,000 communities by the President of the United States, on advice of state governors. It will be the duty of these draft boards to supervise local registra­ tion, and then decide whioh of the approximately 16 ,500,000 men who who will register shall be classified as available for training or placed in the deferred class because of de­ pendents, health, or employment in essential industry. It is vital, therefore that able and conscientious men shall be selected for these draft boards by the governors of the varoius states. This is a presidential election year, yet there must be nothing of' poli tics in these selections. W e should have on these boards the highest type of citizenship a- vaible, men of irreproachable char­ acter. There must be no reason for either draft registrants or the public at large to doubt the motives or integrity of local draft board members Tbe effect of such doubts on national morale and unity are not pleasing to contemplate.

(Elkin Tribune) Governoi Hoey has come in for considerable friendly criticism be cause of his methods in naming the dtaft boards for the various coun­ ties of the state. Or should we say that the criticism has been directed more at the plan of organization than at the Governor, for few there be who would accuse Mr. Hoey of allowing politics to enter into such an important matter as this. And counting ail men as patrio. tic beyond the point of surrender­ ing to political expediency, there is nothing in the plan itself to criti­ cize. Governor Hoey, as head of the draft in North Carolina, must name the personnel of the three-man draft boards for tbe counties. North Ca­ rolina, maka these selections by himself.' And so he has announced that he will abide bv the recom­ mendations of a committee compos, edof the county- school superint­ endent, the chairman of tbe elec tions board and the clerk of the Superior Coprt who will offer the names ot a lawyer, -a doctor and a prominent private citizen to be members of the draft board with Governor’s approval. Obviously these officials are in position to make wise selections, and in most cases it is again ex­ pected they will, but the gap is down for politics, just the same, find there be some in North Caro Iina who are slightly inclined' to measure their patriotism by their own accomplishments for their par. ty .' Two of this nominating com­ mittee are elective officials and the other.is appointive. Tbe two cer. tainly will be Democrats, and in tbe main the third will be too And so it they are a mind it will be a rare sight to a Republican on the draft board in any couutv. We don’t believe even a few of them would work down that sort of groovein such an imoortant mat­ ter as this, but one need not be surprised if there is raising of eye­ brows, just tbe same. And certainly that ought not be. For in this conscription program it will be necessary to take some and leave others, for ’it is a selective draft in which various factors will have to be considered, if there be equity in the selection. It is clear to the naked eye that it would be better if these county-boards were entirely removed from everything that smacks of politics. O n e e a r o f c o rn m a y b e w o rth $ 5 to y o u .

We are reliably informed that there are few congregations among the membership ot which there are . not some that would like to see a change of pastors, with the hope of getting someone who might be more successful io dealing with young people and in making tbe ends of. the budget meet. For young people do go astray, and preachers seldom g e t enough money. Tbe common way of bringing this.about is a very stupid one, which nearly always brings about its own defeat. Those who first see the need for a change usually begin by- finding fault with tbeir present pastor, which step is a very easy one. Next they begin care, fully to suggust those faults to others, then absent themselves from the services and withhold their con­ tributions more and more, while encouraging others to do the same. Tbe consequence is that before long the pastor is known far and wide as a failure, and that pastor will be tbe last one anyone will tbink of calling when the question'arses of a successor to. (he one who dicn'ye- tired or resigned in another parish. Tbe well-meaning folks who start, ed tbe boycott not only deleat their own purpose, but they destroy tbeir chance of getting a decent man when their own pastor finally some­ how is removed, for by that time the parish is half dead and deci­ mated, and tbe ,reputation goes ont about that parish that it is a hard one to serve Our recommendation ! for proce­ dure is this: Boost your pastor all you can, by words, bv attendance at services, and by stimulating congregational activities. W atch for results! Note how quickly other members begin to boost, too, especially after the thing gets a- going. Note bow outsiders also begin to speak about yonr church and its wonderful pastor. Soon traveling men will have brought tbe talk to tbe ends cf the country. Before vou know it, the pastor will be swamped with letters ask- . ing whether be might not be will­ ing to consider a call to this and the other parish, and though be may not have had a thought o r de­ sire to move, he will soon fall for one ot the tempting solicitations and Io and behold! he turns in his res­ ignation to the , board of deacons and leaves! There is no way which brings the desired'end quicker than our formula. We guarantee it to be successful.—TheN ational Reli­ gious Press.

CBAFXER II—Continued Hoyt had brought down a thick­ shouldered person with an unlighted cigar clamped In his jaws who ad­ vanced and tapped Higgins on the shoulder so that the superintendent jumped. “Higgins?” his accpster asked. “C m on. Captain wants you." Iify employer cast a look of ap­ peal over his shoulder as be was marched away. It puzzled me. I could not imagine him a murderer, yet he had asked me for an alibi. An elderly young man in a Ches­ terfield overcoat, with a cane hooked ever his arm and glasses tethered to a black cori, approached the po­ liceman at the door, stood for some minutes, not in argument but con­ versation with the sentinel, and then pushed past him, undeterred. Something in his cocksure swag­ ger irked me and woke foggy recol­ lection. As he spoke, I recognized him. He had strolled through tbe anteroom of the Sphere’s offices that noon while I had waited for the scornful office boy to tell me once again that Lomax, the city editor, could not see me. “ ’Evening,” said the intruder briskly. “I’m from the Sphere. Duke. Larry Duke.” It was childish to vent my griev­ ance against Lomax upon his report­ er, but my nerves were jangled and I had had no lunch, thanks to my fruitless journey to the Sphere’s of­ fice. “Yes?” I said. Duke leaned against the switch­ board and lit a cigarette. That made me angrier. I needed one so. “Had a little killing upstairs, eh?” he asked. “Know anything about it?” “Plenty,” I told him. “I found the body.” That shook him up. He jerked so that his eyeglasses fell off. He hauled copy paper from his pocket." “Ain’t,” he grinned, “ain’t this somepin? First, let’s get your name right.” I gave it to him. He printed it carefully at the top of the page. “Now,”'h e gloated, “tell me all about it. YLovS did you know there’d been a killing? When did it happen?” “Easy,” I said. ‘T m not work­ ing for the Sphere.” He put on his glasses again and stared at me. ‘I don’t get you,’’ he said at last. “Sure you don’t,” I told him and I loved it. I was landing a punch at last after being hammered all over the ring. “You don’t get me—or a word out of me.” He looked at me harder. “Now wait,” he wheedled. “Don’t be that way. If you can give this to me exclusive, there’ll be a piece of change in it for you.” “I can,” I said, “but I won’t, and I’ll tell you why.” It felt so good to get a little of my own back that I wanted more. And besides I never saw a man with a black tie-rope to his glasses whom I liked. In my muuM com­ bined Duke and his boss, Lomax, retaining the worst features of both. ‘Believe it or not,” I told the re­ porter, “I used to be a newspaper man myself.' I came to this town with a letter to Lomax from Doc Gilchrist. When Lomax didn’t have two nickels to rub; together, Doc gave him a job and taught him. all he knows. I sent in the letter. Lo­ max was busy; come back in a week. In a week he was still busy. And the week after and the week after that.”‘Boy,” said Duke, “there are a lot better newspaper men than you’ll ever- be looking for work in this town and not finding any.” “Maybe,” I granted. “If you knew the story I could write at present, you’d change your mind. Not get. ting a job isn’t what gripes. Your boss is too important even to give old Doc Gilchrist’s friend a hand­ shake and wish him luck. Docread me his letter to Lomax. Which is one of Ihe reasons why I say hell with him and with you.” Hie thick man stood beside me; he had chewed an inch off his cigar since I had seen him last. “Hi, Larry,” he said to Duke and turning to me: ‘If you’ve finished the lecture, mug, the Captain wants you up­ stairs. As a matter of fact, he: wants you anyway; On your feet.’* “Hey listen, Jake,” the reporter, begged, “give me a steer, will you? What’s going on? Is it big?” “Colossal,” the other replied, pushing me toward the elevator. “Shannon’ll see you boys later. I can’t stop now.” He glared at me all the way up­ stairs. I glared back. I felt better somehow.' They had cops like him in my own town and besides, for Uie first'time since I reached New York, I felt I Was important to. somebody. CHAPTER In The patrolman still stood before the Ferriter door. It w is open and ! could-hear men inside talking-and furniture being moved and I saw the short white glare of a flashlight. Jake pushed me off the elevator and I kept from asking him how he’d like a sock in the nose, remember­ ing just in time that this wasn’t my -town. “Whoa,” he said as I turned to­ ward the open door. “Not there, sap. In here.” He jerked his head toward the Paget apartment, , turned the door* knob and waved me in before him. It was dark by now and all the lights were on in the workroom. Three men were .there. The ember head, who I learned was Captain Ma- ladii Shannon of the Homicide Squad, kept walking up and down before Higgins who sat and sweated in a chair by the desk where a greasy little dick took shorthand. In the corner, calmly alert, Miss Paget occupied her wheel chair. She seemed more out of place, yet even more wholly enjoying herself, than a bishop in a crap game. I must have showed what thought for in the moment’s silence, while Shannon walked.up and down the rug again.and Higgins perspired more, the old lady said: “The Captain’s associates are still busy in the Ferriter fiat, David. So I put my own at his service.” The grin, that lent her withered face youth, heartened me. Shannon “I came East for work I didn’t get.” turned on Higgins again, started to speak, bit his lip, rumpled his hair and said at last: “All right. You can go. But hot far. I may want you later.” “Yes, sir.” Higgins grunted, heav­ ing himself up. The chair I took was warm from the superintendent’s stewing. Jake stood in the door­ way, and chei /ed his cigar. Shan­ non rumpled his hair some more and then wheeled on me. “Now get this,” he stormed, “I want the truth out of you.” Partly, it was the presence of the old lady; partly, it was because' I hadn’t liked being pushed around by Jake. My squabble with Duke, had boosted my morale, too. “And get this,” I told Shannon and he gaped: “I’ll tell you just as much more if you don’t yell.” , His eyes were clever for all the Irish obstinacy of his freckled face. “ Tough, eh?” he asked at last. “With tough guys.” I thought I saw traces of amuse-' ment on his face. I did not know whether Miss Agatha coughed or snorted. Shannon hesitated. I said: “To save us both time, my nanie is David Mallory, twenty-nine, em­ ployed since last Saturday as a hall- man here, living in the superintend­ ent’s flat in the cellar.” “Ah,” Shannon purred, looking at me hard, “one of these wise birds?” 'I passed for one,” I replied, “in my home town. Even the cops said »» ' I 'Cops knew quite a lot about you, eh?” the Captain asked politely. “They did,” I admitted. “I was a reporter on the News, in Omaha. You can check up on that, though I’d rather you wouldn’t.”. “I see,” said Shannon in a deceij- tively mild voice, “then what are you doing on a job like this?” ‘I have a yen for food,” I an­ swered and wished that Miss Paget were somewhere else. “I-just can't get along without it. I came East for work I didn’t get. I ran- into Eddie Hoyt—he’s on the elevator- last week. His father had worked for mine. Eddie got m e this job. We were kids together.” “And if you were so hard up aj that,” the' Captain went on and felt something ,tense, behind pleasant manner, “why didn’t, yoi go back to Omaha?” I drew abreath. “I’ll make' this,” I said, trying be jaunty about it, “as.short and cheerful as I can. Hunter, who city editor of the Sphere1l Iiked m; work. He sent for me to come 01 Hunter ; was . canned the' .day I*i planned to come and a so-and named Lomax took his place,” - “I know him,” Shannon nodded. •‘It’4 nothing to boast about. They gave me a farewell dinner on the News and a gold watch. I haven’t either of them now. My boss in Omaha, Gilchrist, raised Lomax trtm a pup, but not very far. Gil­ christ gave me a letter. He was certain it would get me the job Hunt* er had .promised. Well, it didn’t. Oi it 'hadn’t up. to noon today, which was the last time I called at the Sphere office.” “I won’t crawl back home, whipped. That’s w h y l’m in this handsome, second-hand uniform. It lets me stay alive here, and I make the rounds of the papers in my spare time. Every office boy in town now locks the city room door when he sees me coming.' I hated the shaky quality of my laugh. “You can check up,” I invited, ‘‘through the Omaha chief or the News—but you can see why I’d rath­ er you didn’t.” He nodded, thought a minute and then sat down with a sigh. “All right, fella,” he said with the comradeship cops can always show when they need newspaper help; “Here’s what we know so far.” He rattled through a catalogue of unrelated details: Blackbeard had been stabbed through the heart. No one knew how he got into the Morello, for there was no entrance to this main building except the foyer or by ele­ vator from the basement. No iden­ tification had been found in his clothes, though there was money in his pocket. No one knew whether Uie Ferriters knew him. Ione was still too hysterical to be questioned. Neither of her brothers had' come in. Everett had gone out at four o’clock. No one had seen Lyon, the older brother, since he left the apartment house that morning. “That,” said Shannon, “is as far as we’ve gone. What have you got to add?” I was so slow in answering Oat his eyes grew hard again. Aston­ ishment silenced me. In the confu­ sion before and after the finding of the dead man, I had forgotten that last telephone call from the Ferriter flat. Memory of it, flashing bade now, blew tty mind about. . “Sorry,” I told the Captain and gave a weak grin. “I just remem­ bered something. I took a phone call from Threp B a half-hour— maybe twenty minutes—before Miss Ferriter began her screaming. Per­ haps I heard the man killed.” Even the oily little stenographer stared at me. “What time was this?” Shannon, asked hoarsely. “Just before Miss Paget’s chair broke down. That made me forget.” I told of the phone eall from the Ferriter flat, of the comment in a thick, foreign tongue, apparently to someone else in the apartment and of the muffled thump that followed. “What number was it?” Shannon asked. I shrugged. “Spring—something. It’s on Uie pad downstairs.” ’Jake,” the Captain snapped. The ecriv g g iln ja* itrnn1 "Bfe- KaU. Shannon ran fingers through his hair again and squinted at nothing. 'Know anything about these Fer- riters?” he asked suddenly. “No. I’ve been here only a week.” “Never heard why the three of them came here?” Miss Paget cleared her throat and then spoke precisely. ' 1It was through me, Captain. Ev­ erett Ferriter, as I told you, is a genealogist of some reputation. He has been helping me with a book I’m compiling. When Mrs. Reynolds wished to rent her apartment, I told Everett about it. They are appar­ ently gentlefolk,' if that means any* thing.” “Not much, begging your par­ don,” Shannon retorted. Miss Agatha nodded, *1\ quit* agree,” she said. Amusement puckered the Cap­ tain’s eyelids. He turned to me. “When did this other one, thif Lyon Ferriter, go out?” I thought and shook my head. “I haven’t seen him today at all. The others on the hall—” Shannon’s angry grunt cut m« short. “They didn’t see Blackbeard com* in; they didn’t see this.Lyon go out.. Yet he is out. And Blackbcard is across the hall. And you say some­ one made a phone call from that apartment and, unless he was talk­ ing to himself, there was another guy with him.” He rumpled his hair further. ] asked Miss Agatha: “Are the Ferriters foreign bom?” She shook her head. “I believe not. They speak ex­ cellent English.” “Then,” I went on, “it was Black beard who telephoned. A thick voice that sounded as though it might b« German.” Jake entered with the caU sheet. The half-devoured cigar wabbled tat his'mouth and his finger shook ai he handed the page to his chief and pointed. The Captain said no word but looked for a long minute before h« held the paper out to! me with bis thumbnail indenting its margin. “That the call?” he asked in a voice I felt he kept so mild by great effort. Yes,” I said. “At three-l by the clock on the switchboard! don’t know whether it was comptafr ed or not. I plugged in and ttn jw (TO BE CONTINUED), ' SE3SCREE By VIRGINIA VALE { R e le a se d by* W e s te rn N e w s p a p e r U n io n .) Howards of Virginia” -I- has been released, and people are trying to concoct new bouquets to throw at it. On6 of New York’sbestfilm critics,Bos* ley Crowther, wrote, “Never, to ojir recollection, has the screen pictured in more magnificent detail the period of American history preceding and including the Revolution.” Even if American history doesn’t mean much to you, you’ll want to see the picture. . Frank Uoyd has done a masterful job of directing, Martha Scott, Cary Grant, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, and the rest of the cast ss MARTHA SCOTT give excellent performances, a id the life of Colonial, Virginia has bejsn magnificently reproduced. — * — There’s an old saying .In shiw business: “Always be bind to fie property boy. He may be the b< tomorrow.” Edward Arnold, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck and James Gl< a- son were reminiscing on Fra Capra’s “Meet John Doe” set Warners’. Gleason told of starring 30 years ago in Ids father’s com­ pany at the old Morosco and Bor- bank theaters. Then Capra joined the group, and reminded them that among the players in'that company were Marjorie Bambean, Lewis Stone and others still prominent. - “Did yon ever see them?” asked Gleason, in surprise. “I should say I did,” .laughed Capra. “I saw them every night. I used to sell newspapers to them.” The special effects department at Paramoimt could have been forgiv­ en for going stark, staring mad re­ cently when an order came in for a flock of sheep that “look like Jack Benny.” The sheep were needed for a dream sequence in “Love Thy Neighbor,” in which Fred Allen, Benny’s mortal enemy, puts him* self to sleep by counting sheep: - - Allen insisted that finding the sheep'should be easy. “All sheep look like Benny,” he insisted, “Benny looks like a sheep anyway.” The sound man on Dorothy La- mour’s “Moon Over Burma” had a problem too. He had to fake the sound of elephants crashing through a forest. It was simple enough to record the footsteps of Miss Lamour, Preston Foster, Bobert Preston and a group of natives, but the four-ton pachyderms ran so quietly that the noise didn’t register. However, movie audiences expect elephants to crash through jungles, so these are going to crash, even though it’s done artificially. — SK— For once the cast of a motion pic­ ture seems to be taking the title seriously. The title is “M is Thing Called Love,” and it’s influencing Hosalind Bussell, Binnie Barnes and Gloria Dickson. Three days after the picture-had gone into production Miss Bames announced her plan to m arry Mike Frankovitch, radio commentator. Rumors circulated to the effect that Miss Dickson and her husband, Perc Westmore, would become rec­ onciled. Nobody knows yet what will happen to Miss Bussell, but just before the picture was begun she caught the bridal bouquet at her sister’s wedding, and the day pre­ ceding that a fortune toiler predict­ ed that she’d be married within a year. — *—Ellery Queen, the famous detec­ tive of many books whose adven­tures have also made a successful radio series, is going to make his screen debut.

IN ADVANCE S SO Most folks seem to have decided that this couniry does need a busi­ ness man for President in spite of the fact that the “ Third Termer” saysvto the contrary. A taxpayer wants to know who is paying Tom Hendrix to travel over the county with a Democratic registrar and hunt up voters? We can’t answer that question. When Wendell Willkie chal­ lenged President Roosevelt for a joint debate some time ago, the Piesidentsaid he was too busy look iug after the welfare of the coun­ try to w^ste any time making poli­ tical speeches. Something must have happened. We see the Pre sident is advertised to make two or three political speeches in the near future Surely Mr. Roose­ velt wasn’t afraid to meet his op ponent on the stump. Small Man Registers. The smallest man to register for the draft in Dayie countv, or per­ haps in the entire south, was Wal­ ter Lee Branch, 23 of Fulton town, ship, who registered Wednesday at Mc cksville Mr. Branch weighs 42 pounds, is 3 feet, 6 inches tall, ar.d is 23 years old. He is apparently in fine health, and is not worrying about having to carry a gun, re- gatdiess of how manv wars we get into. ' Bond lssae Voted. The voters of MocksviIIe went to the polls last Tuesday and voted for a $33,000 bond issue to enlarge the city water system, and a $7,000 bond is ue to extend the sewage- system The water bonds were carried by a majority of 13, and the sewer bonds.hy a majority of 84 votes From what we can under­ stand, the work will he done by the WPA, and the bonds will be sold to the Federal Government. Tbe Record remained neutral in this electiou. Two or three cars were busy hauling "Oteis to the polls. No fight was made publicly against the bond issue. We shall see what see. Davie Negro Killed, j Chris Miller, colored, aged 30 , was shot with a gun and died in­ stantly Sunday morning about 1130 o’clock at the home of Chas. Wil­ son, colored, aged 50, in North Cooleemee.

Hundreds of Davie county men between the ages of 2 t and 36 years, marched, rode, hitchhiked or got to their various voting precincts last Wednesday and registed for the draft. A U 'kinds folks regist­ ered—white, brown and black, rich and poor, tbe lame, the halt and the blind. A final tabulation show­ ed that Davie had 1,679 men be tween the ages of 21 and 36 years. It was thought thought the num­ ber would be much larger. The day passed off very quietly through out tbe county. Tbe local teachers in the country assisted in register­ ing the young men, which greatly facilitated matters. The local draft board is compos ed of Lonnie L. Miller, R. 2, chair­ man; J. H. Robertson, Bixby; E. M. Holt, Cooleemee; Dr. Lester P. Martin, Mocksville, and Attorney B. C. Brock,, of Farmington and Mocksville. Just how many men Davie will have to furnish for the first draft of 400,000 men is not known, and it is not known the date on which the first draft will be made. We understand that the county will get credit for the number who have en­ listed from the county this fall. Our first quota should not exceed 30 or 40 men. Notice of Re-Sale.

TH E DAYIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. I' WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK ItalyfS Editorial Spokesman Suave, But Pen Ominous By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) N EW YORK. — Virgihio Gayda, Italy’s official writing wrist, pens a solemn warning to' the V . S. A. In an editorial in his pa­per, Giomale D’ltalia,' he tells us not to m is u n d e r­ s ta n d th e Axis-Japan agreement and hints that we’re iri for bad trouble if we make a misstep. Why Gayda should have been chosen to do the tough talking,. or rather writing, for Italy all these, years has been a puzzle to this on­ looker. Not that he doesn’t do it well, but it is so unlike him. I met him once at a tea party in Rome, in the studio of a British sculptor. One would have thought he wouldn’t hurt a fly. That was soon after Mussolini took power. Tall, slen­ der, fair-haired, with a small, silken mustache, impeccably dressed, Gay­ da seemed diffident and eager to please. He was then editor of Il Messagge.ro, .r which had been a strongly liberal paper, and he had made his political start in the gen­ eral doctrinal zone of Mussolini's Marxian teachings. Bnt with the March on Rome he had done an about-face with Mussolini and was making his paper daily louder and fiercer.' ’ There was considerable embar­ rassment and sbyness among the guests, as it wasn’t safe for foreigners to mention Musso­ lini’s name, and they engaged the suave Gayda in talk about art, Roman ruins, the glories of the Pitti and Ufflzi, and the like. Noting the signor’s facile speech, I remarked to an old Scottish bank­ er, standing by, that the editor seemed like a mighty smart chap. “Too" , smart for Ius ’ britches,” growled the old Scot. One never would have thought that some day he would be telling the U. S. A. where it got off. A native of Rome, he began his newspaper career as central European correspondent for the Stampa, of -Turin. He was in Russia when the World war - started, entered the diplomatic service rthere and returned to newspaper work as editor of D Messaggero in 1921. It was in 1926 that Count Ciano,. Musso­ lini’s son-in-law, discovered his penchant for., ominous and threatening prose and made him the nation’s editorial spokes­ man, as editor of Giornale DTtalia.

Open Oiant Boulder Dam Outlet Valves Good Improviser, Yet No Apologist as against the all-or-nothing techniques of a b s o lu tis t government. The mechanics of the ! latter are such that when it is 1 wrecked, it is an inert, busted ma­ chine in a ditch, while a democracy has an organic quality wlpch makes it adaptive, allows improvisation, and perhaps enables it to grow new tissue and survive a deal of waste and muddling. • Col. Douglas L. Netherwood, com­ manding officer of the northeast anti-aircraft defense at Mitchel field, indirectly touches off this idea. Recruits for the anti-aircraft forces are wearing odd assortments of uni­ forms, sleeping in garages because of the lack of tents,' and drilling without sufficient rifles or other equipment. To the worriers, Colonel Netherwood says: “Shucks, we’re doing an right, and I’m sure that the quarter­ masters will catch up on their outfitting soon. I drilled in my civilian clothes when I joined the army back in 1908, as a pri­ vate after I graduated from col­ lege. I’m sure the young fel­ lows we have out here at Mitchel field don’t mind it any more than I did.” Colonel Netiierwood was bom in Birmingham, England, and, inci­ dentally, the English are good im­ provisers and instinctive pregmat- ists. Their democracy came ffom adjustment and improvisation, rpth- er than from the grand principles of the encyclopedists. However,- Colonel Netherwood is no apologist for hit-or-miss preparedness. In 1908 he entered the army, after his graduation from,Tpxas"' Agricultural and Mechanical college. He has studied tech-.,, niques of precision at the Army War college, the Army Indus­ trial college and the Air Corps Practical school—,with, diplomas from all of them. - He entered the signal corps and got his rating .as a military aviator in 1917. In 1920 the. aviation sec­ tion of the signal corps was des­ ignated as the army air,eorps. He became a Uentenant 'colonel in 1935.

QUESTION: How.can table-tops pf solid OJ.. veneer mahogany be treated for an oil finish, and fori a glossy finish? What should be done to get a mahogany finish on table- tops that are not mahogany? Legs and other parts of the table are dark red, and the tops Should match. Answer: In any-OOse1iiHie finish should be removed to the bare wocjd, which can be done with liquid ^var­ nish remover. Do not dllow the re­ mover to drip on the legs and other parts. The remover is applied lib­ erally,- and allowed to'stand for 20 minutes or so; the fipish can then be taken off with a rough, cloth and| a scraper.\_The remover is .inflamma­ ble, so take precautions against fije. This will take off the stain as well as the finish. Follow' by washing with turpentine, end ,then, after dry­ ing,- -apply mahpgpnyoil. stain.

When dry, rub smooth with very fine Sandpaper, Then put on a second coat and polish by light rub­ bing with finely powdered rotten- stone and sewing machine oil, or other light oil—not linseed oil. Outdoor Fing-Fong Table. Question: What is the best way to construct an outdoor ping-pong ta­ ble? In the past, the wooden'tables have warped despite the fact that they were apparently well painted. Can you suggest a different materi­ al instead of wood, or a method of painting that will eliminate warp­ ing? Answer: Some of the well-known manufacturers of plywood now make a plywood suitable for outside use. The laminations of wood are cemented together ' with synthetic resin glue, which, is not affected by the weather. The entire plywood top is then given a prime coat of alumi­ num paint, followed by two coats of a good quality deck or. outside house paint. Some public playgrounds now have ping-pong tables of concrete. Blistered Paint. . Question: I built an extension on my house last summer, and finished it with a high quality paint. In several places bubbles appeared; when touched, a red deposit like rust comes out. - I am told that this is caused by the paint. What do you advise? Answer: That effect cannot be blamed on the paint; it is from moisture in the wood. Somewhere there is a leak that permits water to run down inside the clapboards; collecting on cross-pieces, it soaks into the clapboards from the back, On being drawn out to the front by warm air, it takes the paint with it. Look for leaks in the joint between walls and window frames. Have a carpenter .close them with caulking compound( forced in with a caulk- ing-gun. Dog Scratches on Doors. A correspondent sends the follow­ ing for filling deep scratchings by dogs in grain finished doors: Make a putty out of fine sawdust, a little plaster of paris and spar varnish. Apply with a putty knife. When dry, sandpaper down, with the pa­ per wrapped around a block of wood. Apply stain, and grain to match the door. When this is dry,- revamish the door. If‘ it is done by a good worker, the repair can hardly be detected. (Note: for a complete job, put a pair of boxing' gloves on the dog.) Brittle Reed Chairs. Question: My fine reed sun room chairs and furniture seem very brit­ tle and small pieces frequently break out. Can I do anything to make it less brittle? How can I refinish the surface? Answer: After removing the fin­ ish, coat the reed with a half-and- half mixture Qf raw linseed oil and turpentine; After an hour o r. so, wipe the surface clean. Allow to dry for 24 hours, then finish with one, or two coats of a top quality spar Varnish. Fireproofing Cloth. Question: How cap I fireproof cloth and paper? Answer: Dissolve 2% pounds boric acid and three pounds crystallized borax in six gallons of water; or if this is too much! use the same pro­ portions- with-sm aller., quantities.. Soak the cloth -well, and hang up to drip and dry. Fireproofing of paper depends on the character of the pa­ per, . it -is more/ difficult than the fire-proofing of doth, because of the wrinkling and uheven shrinkage of the paper in drying. Waterproofing Canvas. Question: Kindly give Ime the for­ mula for waterproofing Canvas. Answer: Make a' solution of one pound of shaved-paraffin'in a gal­ lon of gasoline. The canvas should be stretched when applying the solu­ tion. Do this work out In the open on an overcast day and do [not 6 moke.

T o p ic s POST RECORDS OF MILK COWS Farmers Urged to Check Herd’s Production. By E. J . PEBBT fEateoszoa DairymMnt Rutgars Univarsity) Daiprmen would benefit greatly by adopting the habit of marking each cow’s yearly fat and milk yield rec­ ord and her fat percentage over her stanchion. After studying dairy practices abroad, I found that the practice of displaying cow’s records in the barns is a popular one among dairy­ men of both Denmark and Holland. By marking each cow’s record over her stanchion the owner and his helpers are constantly reminded of the relative ability of the cows. Stricter culling of low producers is done since inferior records are noth­ ing to be proud of. Heifer calves from the best cows are a little more likely to be saved. When visitors call, perhaps to buy a foundation animal, they can gain a lot of knowl­ edge about the herd even though the owner may not be at home. AU that is needed to* make pos­ sible the setting down of these very helpful figures are framed pieces of smooth slate about 8 by 14 inches. These are fastened to* the stanchion directly over each cow’s head. Each record is set down according to age. Every progressive dairyman’s ambition is to have a herd of cows that WiU average 400 pounds of fat each and its milk equivalent per year. This is 60 per cent more than the average production of aU new Jersey cows today. One of the best ways to attain the goal is to have individual cow records and make every day use of them. A 400 pound fat average is the approximate equivalent of these amounts of milk for the different breeds: Ayrshire, 10,000 pounds; Brown Swiss, 10,000 pounds; Guernsey, 8,200 pounds; Holstein, 11,500 pounds; and Jersey, 7,500 pounds. On many farms, the herds are too large for the amount of land a vari­ able for feed. The highest quality cows economically fed are neces­ sary to an adequate livelihood. Con­ tinuous use of records is the only known: means of putting every dairy herd on a modem business basis. Milk Dairy Cows From Either Side Do cows have to be milked from the right side? “NO!” says Prof. W. T. CrandaU of the New York State coUege of agriculture. “There is no scientific reason for milking on the right-hand side, nor any practical reason unless it is that a few'cows have be­ come’used to being milked from that side and make trouble when the usual procedure is changed. Calves nurse from both sides as convenient. “On occasions when cows for one reason or another are milked partiaUy or altogether'from the left side, no effect on production is noted unless the cow used to right-side milking resents a change from habitual practice. Most persons, too, are right-hand­ ed which probably makes it eas­ ier for them to work on that side.” Now you might ask horsemen and equestriennes why horses are mounted from the left side. Insecticides Restricted by Federal Regulation Federal regulations which deal with the amount of poisonous resi­ dues on fruits and vegetables for sale on markets have caused'a change in the kinds of insecticides recommended for use in the control of garden insects, points out George D. Jones of the University of Mis­ souri college of agriculture. Today’s trend is away from lead or calcium arsenate for control of chewing insects to a substitute which kins but leaves no harm­ ful residue. Of course, the edible portions of some plants are protect­ ed so that poisonous,sprays would not reach them and others can be protected with lead or calcium ar­ senate and cryolite until the edible portions develop. The substitutes most generally available are pyrethrum or rotenone mixtures, which, being made from plant.products, display some varia­ tion in amount of killing agency in. the raw materials. These substi­ tutes for lead and calcium arsenate or cryolite are not as adaptable for wide usage, so growers should use good judgment in their purchases. Bewane FIre Blight Fruit growers are warned to Watch for the appearance of - fire blight, a disease affecting the foliage and bark of apple and pear trees that spreads rapidly and may de­ stroy an entire orchard unless checked. Fire blight is very prevalent this year. Pruning out allinfectedbranch- es and cankers as soon as they ap­pear is the best control measure. Spraying with a nicotine solution will control insects only. •* * - SV - I ""■> : & Jfyl VV ^ i M T A S APPLE A DAT—SEBVED IN A DIFFERENT WAT (See Recipes Below) Apples hold a place of well- deserved popularity today, for they have been widely used as food from the earliest times. What other fruit has such a long season, tastes so good, keeps so well, can be served in so many different ways, and yet is relatively, inexpensive? Do you want apples for cooking, or for baking? Or do you want them for eating apples or dessert? Apples should be selected according to the purpose for which you are to use them. A good cooking apple should be tart, or at least medium acid, with a juicy, fine-grained flesh. A good cooking apple, however, should have a distinct apple; flavor. Youare.no doubt, familiar with such names as Rome Beauty, Winesap, Black Twig, Grimes Golden and McIntosh. Have you ever had the sad expe­ rience of baking apples only to find that they have remained hard and lack juiciness? Or did you use a va­ riety that became so watery upon baking that you couldn’t quite tell what it was? The Wealthy, McIn­ tosh, Grimes Golden, Jonathan, Rhode Island Greening or North­ western Greening, the Rome Beau­ ty, the Winesap and Black Twig are all varieties of apples which may be used,for .this purpose. A good dessert apple should have a prominent and distinct apple fla­ vor, mildly acid, and with a fine- flesh texture. Here again you may select the M cIntosh, the Grimes Golden, the Jonathan, the Rome Beauty, the Black Twig, or the Delicious. A bowl of shining apples will ap­ peal to the children when they come home from school. There will be no need for them to say, “Mom, I’m hungry; what can I. have to eat?” The Wealthy, the Delicious, and the Rome Beaufy are all popular eat­ ing apples. There is nothing more delicious than a baked apple, apple pie, or a raw apple salad, but have you ever tried apples in fritter batter, or com­ bined them with green peppers for a salad? Here are some such recipes from my own test kitchen which are not only simple to prepare, but also in­ clude that much-longed for-variety in recipes when we have plenty of apples to use.

Life is our must precious posses­ sion. No intelligent person will waste its fleeting moments, nor de­ fer to a later season the living of his life to the best advantage. Werive now—today. Nor is any thoughtful one ready to let life slip by without its finest and richest return of usefulness and blessing, not only to himself, but to others. International Temperance Sunday affords us an opportunity to show our young people that those who indulge in intoxicants cannot live such a life. We suggest that a satisfying life is I. Useful (Luke 1:13-16). John was to be born into a life of such blessed usefulness to God and man that he was to be a “joy and gladness” to his parents, “great in tile sight of the Lord,” and instru­ mental in turning “many of the chil­ dren of Israel . . . to the Lord.” Such a life is worthy of emulation on the part of every young man and woman. What is the secret of it? Undoubtedly, fine Christian parent­ age had much to do with it- We note that God began preparing this great character a generation before he was bora. Other elements also entered in ,. such as rearing and training, but most important of-all was the fact (v. 15) that he was not to be driven by the false stimulants of this world, but by the infilling of the Holy Spirit of God, No “wine nor strong drink,” but being “filled with the Holy Ghost”—there, young people, is the secret of a happy and useful life. H. Normal (Luke 2:40). These words stress the fact that Jesus developed normally—physical­ ly, mentally, and spiritually. Let us emphasize the need of, letting chil­ dren develop and grow normally, for we live in a day of constant high pressure, when even the life of a child is not permitted to grow in. its God-intended peace and according to the normal processes of nature. Give your boys and girls time, and encourage, them to grow normally. Obviously, the use of'strong drink can only hinder, make abnormal, or destroy such normal growth. Let’s rule it out altogether and let our people grow and wax strong in the Lord. In . Well-Balanced (4:4; 6:21, 25). Making a life is more important than making a living. The bread of this world is not enough; we must have the satisfying portion of fellow­ ship with God. This we find in His Word. Nothing material, social or mental will fully satisfy the soul of man. His heart cries out for a mes­ sage from God. Intoxicants* make men to laugh when they ought to weep, give them a false satisfaction which is followed by an inexpressible hunger. They are. unbalanced individuals. Why not be among those who, knowing God and His Word, are in­ telligent enough to laugli at the right time, weep at the right time, and who know how to choose that which truly satisfies for time and eternity. IV. Fundamentally Bight (6:43- 45). There is a false optimism which would have us think we can sow to the wind and avoid reaping the whirlwind. Men are encouraged to think they can waste their tim e and their substance, .taking; into their bodies the destructive - elements of intoxicating Uquorsi and somehow come out all right. Young people are . lured by clever advertising to think it is socially correct and smart to indulge, and that.thetip will be no evil effects. Such an obvious false­ hood should not fool any keen young man or woman. The roots of an evil life bring forth corruption, for the heart of a man who follows after sin cannot bring" fprth that which is good. The kind of a person you are in your heart, the things you do ,when no one . sees, the seeds you sow to indulgent and profligate Uvtog1 — these determine character and destiny for time and eternity. Just so, fine,! noble and upright thoughts and actions wiU bring forth gloriously fine and. useful Uves—a delight to God arid man—well-bal­ anced — normally developed — hot only Without a regret at the end of life’s road, but !finding there God’s approval.

IjLjp.. OCTOBER 23.1940. Bankruptcy Threatens U. W iIlbie H its H a rd a t D eficit, S p en d in g a n d T h ird T erm . ’ WendeUWlllkie Wendell Willkie is hitting hard at the third term and the national.debt as he wages his campaign as the Republican nomi­ nee for the presi­ dency. To his mind, both the na­ tional debt and fiie third term . are linked together. B o th c o n ta in threats againstthe “American Way of Life” ; threats of a possible dictator­ ship. In the speeches Mr. WilMe has made since the campaign opened, he has been asserting that every de­ mocracy which has fallen in the course of history has been destroyed because of overwhelming debt. "For eight long years we have been going down that road. Now the man who has brought that threat to us is ask­ ing for a third term.” “We have existed in this country tor 160 years under the great tradi­ tion that two terms are enough for any president. Yet now, when of all times democracy and the demo­ cratic way of life are facing their greatest test, when of all times we Bhould preserve all of the processes of the democratic system, we have B man who says, ‘I am indispen­ sable.’ ” “This campaign is a crusade for the preservation of the American way of life. This is a crusade to Bstablish an example, of liberty for all the world. It is a crusade against the concentration of power in Wash­ ington. It is-a crusade against the egotism of the doctrine of fhe in­ dispensable man.” Mr. WiUkie’s indorsement of the present farm program,-with modifi­ cations to remove objectionable fea­ tures of administration, eliminates the question of benefit payments as a campaign issue.. But on the debt and the third term, Mr. Willkie has fundamental issues to take to Ihe farmer, home owner and business man. The national debt, rapidly ap­ proaching 50 billion dollars, he de­ scribes as a mortgage on every farm, home and business in Amer­ ica. He predicts that if,President Boosevelt is re-elected, the debt will grow to 75 billion dollars within the next four years. “The great immediate benefit which, can be brought to agricul­ ture,” says Mr. Willkie, “is restora­ tion of business-like methods in gov­ ernment and the return of the pres­ent ten T n iilin n unemployed to the payrolls so they again can become purchasers of the farmer’s products. I believe both things could be brought about.' AU that is needed is the touchstone of someone who knows about production, who knows that the most glorious thing in the country is not words, but work.” Did Not Prodoce That trade agreements have not produced foreign markets for Amer­ ican farmers is evidenced by a drip of $104,000,000 in agricultural prod­ ucts exported during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939, as compared with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934—the year prior to the enact­ ment of the Reciprocal Trade agree­ ment act. Cotton to Corn Through regulation, Secretary Wallace has reduced Qie corn acre­ age of the com producing statos of the North by 5,139,000 acres. But the farmers of cotton producing states of the South have been en­ couraged to raise corn instead of cotton, and increased their corn acreage by 5,814,000 acres. Did Not Work , That New Deal reciprocal trade agreements did not attract buyers is shown by the purchase, by countries with which these agreements were made, of meat products to the value of 17,644,000 pounds in 1935, before the agreements were made, and only 15,175,'000 pounds in 1939, when all agreements were in effect. Reduced Farm Tariffs Reciprocal trade agreements made by the New Deal reduced the tariff on 152 agricultural products, despite candidate Roosevelt’s statement in 1932: “I know of no excessively high tariff duties on farm products . . . 'that should be lowered.” The Farm Share On a per capita basis, the farm population of America must cany about one-fourth, approximately $11 ,000 ,000 ,000 , of the national debt. It would take the value of all farm crops for two years to pay the farm­ ers’ share. , A Record Frsmklin Roosevelt I is the- only president to serve eight years with­ out balancing the budget in any one year.

CCharlie Smoot, who holds a po­ sition in Salisbury, arrived in this city Thursday morning and pro­ ceeded westward to visit bis par­ ents who live near the turbid wat­ ers of Hunting creek. Consistency of Vievtrs. W hatever one may think of J. Paul Leonard, in his newly accept­ ed capacity assecretary of the North Carolina Democrats for Willkle clubs, there can be no doubt of Mr. Leonard’s manifest courage of his convictions and a consistency of view in sharp contrast'to the vacil­ lations and reversals which accu. mulate on every side and issue. Mr. Leonard's leadership of the North Carolina Fair Tax associa­ tion, an essentially non-partisan or­ ganization, has championed two causes to the practical exclusion of all others, these being repeal of the state sales tax and economy in gov­ ernment. Both have revolved a- round nublic funds, which in the final analysis can come only from the consumer, and their wise, sound and efficient disbursement. It is’against this background of steadfast advocacy that Mr. Leo. nard’s present endeavor should be viewed in all fairness to him and his organization. Although fiscal poli­ cies of the present national admin­ istration have been all but obscur­ ed by the turn of international events end their campaign utilities, clear-thinking must place them close to the center of all problems with which we shall continue to wrestle in any post-war period of reod justment. It is national credit, the ability of the people to bear the burden and the ultimate effect of what may prove to be irredeemable obligations upon democracy and its functioning that we are talking a- bout. Mr. Leonard cannot possi­ bly find economy, meticulous at­ tention to wise and prudent spend­ ing, or tax encouragement in con­ tinuation and expansion of prevail­ ing policies and programs. Let us get it straight about national de­ fense expenditures; they ara neces­ sary and imperative. T husthereis greater insistence than ever that wastefulness’ he kept out qf de­ fense, that the citizenry get full value for its defense dollars and that nou-defense out-pouring be watched closely and pared accord­ ingly in order that more necessit­ ous projects be not threatened nr retarded. Mr. Leonard and those who think as he thinks can hardly And econo­ my in a $45,000 ,000,000 national debt, appropriations already voted in excess of that limit like-wise ag. gregating billions more and a na­ tional sales tax well within the realm of possibilities—almost we are tempted to say probabilities— as American consumption is called upon, one way or another,, to pay and pav and pay. — Greensboro News. $5.00 For One Ear of Corn.

Luther Harrison is one of the tip top editors of the Southwest. He probably is as effective an orat. or as is to be found in that entire stretch of country. Mr. Harrison is a product of Br- skine College, the educational in­ stitution of the Psalm-singing Pies,- byterians at Due West, S. C., and was a student at the time that many Charlotte and Mecklenburg men and women of today were also enrolled there. They remember him well. They recall his uniqueness both in ap pearance and habits. It is refreshing to recollect his resonant, rhythmic diction, his od dity as a public speaker, the thick vein of subtle humor that peimeat- ed his addresses and conversations. Mr. Harrison, a native of Ar kansas, went into the farther Sou­ thwest at the end of his college days and began to work for news­ papers in Oklahoma, finally becom­ ing editor of the leading daily in Tulsa and one of the most influen­ tial in the Southwest. x Since bis college days he has been fervently interested in politics. He is an old-fashioned Jefferson­ ian Democrat and in practically ev­ ery municipal, state or National campaign, he has been among the wheel-horses of his party. All of this extended introduction is by way of reciting a recent in­ cident in which Mr.. Harrison play­ ed true to his natural form in wnt ing a letter to National Democrat­ ic Chairman Flynn which, we ob- serva, has found its way into the Congressional Record. Chairman Flynn wrote as-fol­ lows: J-Four years ago your efforts did much to sw eep,our great leader, Franklin D. Roosevelt, into the White House. This year the cause is even more inspiring. America needs Roosevelt. Please fill out the enclosed sheet for the speak­ ers’ bureau and send it to me.” Mr. Harrison made the following reply to the Democratic chairman : "W hile I am getting somewhat old to prepare a new speech in its entirety, I still have a copy of the speech I made throughout the sou­ thwest against Thaodore Roosevelt and the tbird.term heressy in 1912 ; and if it meets with your approval and conforms to your wishes, I shall be glad to make that speech just anywhere in the United States that you suegest. "In the event you consider my 1912 speech undesirable, I shall be glad to make at an y . time and at place, the speech I made in 1932 in support of the Democratic party's platform promises to repeal the Hawley-Smoot tariff act, to balance the budget, to! reduce the expen ses of Federal government at least 25 per cent, and to effectively pre­ vent the return of the saloon. “If at any time during the pres­ ent campaign you want me to de­ liver one of the speeches I made in 1912 and 1932 , I.shdll be at your service and subject to your call.” 'M r. Flynn, of course, has not re­ plied !—Charlotte Observer The Right To Vote. Strange as it may seem, it is re­ ported that a gross misunderstand­ ing exists'in some parte of the coun­ try to the effect that if a Democrat Casts a vote for a Republican candi­ date. the voter makes himself a Re­ publican instead of a Democrat, and vice versa, and thereby terminates his affiliation with his own party. If such a mistaken idea exists, it is important that voters. bp informed that they pan vote for whom they please in general elections, without in any way changing their party af­ filiations or their right to vote in pri­ maries and other local elections.— Ex: ■ Seen Along Main Street By The Street RamMer. 000000 Smith Grove farmer waiting for merchant to open store late in the morning—Armand Daniel and Ray­ mond Foster saluting each other in front of bank—Wayward husband slowly wendiog his steps home­ ward by moonlight—Mrs. j.

Spending Has Failed. The Chicago Tribune:— The industrial plants of this coun try has been racked by seven years of the Roosevelt depression. Its pro­ ductive capacity hasbeen greatly de­ creased as machinery has worn out and has not been replaced, both be­ cause there were no orders to justify it and because the savings on tne country were being diverted from productive investment into deficit bond issnee. Mr. Roosevelt and hiB followers have one sovereign remedy for every ill, That is the appropriation _of huge sums of money. They have made a virtue of spending regard­ less of .the value received. They fol­ lowed this plan in their attempt to end the depression and it failed. They are following it again on defense and it is failing again. They are failing now for the same reason that they before. They are the men who don’t deliver because they can’t, and they can’t because they are incompetent. The employment of a few competent men like Mr. Knudsen does not cure the situation, TheonIy core is to clean out the whole outfit. Mr. Wallace As Presi­ dent. (BvWalter ParkeO Would Henry A. Wallace, ex-se- cretary of agricultnre, make the kind of president the voters want and the country nefeds? It may be well for the voters to give thought to that m atter before the November elections. Should the Roosevelt ticket be elected, M r, Wallace would become the white bouse heir apparent, and would become president in the event Mr. Roosevelt for any reason should cease to be president. Mr. Roosevelt has. bad eight years of the£most grilling and strenuous labor that any president of the Unit­ ed has ever had. Thb worst depres­ sion the world has even known de­ veloped during, his term of office. Every bank in the United States closed down for a period. World choas came. Gold was practically demonetised! The farmers and the unemployed had to be taken care of. And now war in Europe and Asia, with far reaching implications, be­ devil humanity. 'Mr. Roosevelt must be a very tired man, and even his great love of pow­ er may not be enough to enable him to carry on for'another four years. And so, should he be re-elected, Mr. Wallace, elected as vice presi­ dent. might find himself elevated , to the chief executive’s chair. Thus in voting for Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Wallace, and to abandon the age-old precedent of no third term ip the white house, the voters may in fact be voting Mr. Wallace into the white house. Mr, M. W. Thatcher, of the Frm- er’s Union, thinks so and Mr. Thab> cher has been quite close to the New Deal and to Mr. Roosevelt and Mrl W allace... Think about this, you voters, and think much about it before Novem­ ber. No Candidate “Above Politksr ._ . (Valley-Morning Star, HarOngSnl T ex) It is the American way” for the people to decide every fourth year who shall lead the nation 'through the next four years. This decision is made in the general elections. Forfouryearsthe people of the nation accept and support their lead­ er as long as he stays within the bounds of reason. But in the period just proceeding the general elections the president of the United States becomes just a candidate. Any candidate for the presidency of the United States owes it to tbe- people to go before them and discuss the problems of the nation, regard­ less of the temper of the times. No man who seeks high office can logi­ cally place himself “above politics.” Politics is the process of government determination in a democracy. Any one who seeks to place himself a- hove politics is simply claiming to be “above the people” and ' above the process of government established over a. long period of nation pro­ gress. It'is well for the president of the United States to spurn the campaign venom being used by some of his close associates, but it is vain and cowardly for the president of the United States to assume 'th at he is so great he need not account to the public for his stewardship. The claim that the European crisis consumes all the time of the candi­ date for the presidency is shallow and decietful. The United States is not at war, even though the person who is president of the United Stat­ es has declared war for himcelf. Acd as each week brings out some new and dangerous secret move bv the president to entangle ns in Eu­ rope’s conflict, we come to realize more and more that the president feels the people and the congress are not capable of making tbeir own de­ cisions, that he must decide and act for them—in secrecy. That in itself is one of the major issues of this campaign. It is a sub­ ject on which the American way” demands full discussion by both pre­ sidential candidates. Isn’t it strange that the president of the United States, who does not have time to discuss those vital is­ sues which will affect the future of the nation and its people during the next four years, has ample time to snuggle for days with Hrrry Hop kins and other New Deal party lead­ ers at Hyde Park, and has ample time to go around the country de­ dicating damB and parks. There1Sre many parks in-the Unit­ ed States that serve their purposes well without ever having had the blessings of presidential dedidation. Still there is nothing wrong with the president dedicating them. Likewise, there is nothing wrong with the candidate for re-election as’ president cohfering with his party leaders. That is necessarv in a na­ tion of party government. The thing that is wrong and the thing, which brands the candidate for re-election as a supreme effort a- fraid to meet his responsibilities is the fact that this candidate for re- election claims be does not have the time to face the people and bis op position with a clear and actual di- cussion of the issues involved in the national election. Ooly Two Needed. A lot of people want to know whether we thiuk Willkie will be elected. Certainly, he will be elect­ ed. There are 100 reasons why. First, people know that things can be no worse and that any change is bound to be for the better. ■ Second, the great American public has never been tooled for over eight, years straight. Tlfe other 98 reasons do hot matter.— Nevada' (Mo.). Herald YOUR S I Gves WHlkie 334 Votes Election of Wendell L. Willkie with a minimum of .334 votes in the Electoral College has been pre­ dicted by the Dnnn Survey, on the basis of methods tested with suc­ cess in the 1936 presidential elec­ tion, the 1938 Congressional con­ tests and the recent election in Maine. Rogers C. Dnnn, director of the surve», declared that Mr. Willkie undoubtedly would carry all the states north ot Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas and Oklahoma and in ad­ dition wonld carry Colorado, W y­ oming and Oregon. Mr. Dunn is a statistical analyst who has been taking polls for six years and while he has not com­ mercialized bis results, they show an unusually high record of accu' racy. The method he is using for tbe 1940 election by a close vote of Governor Herbert H. Lehman in bis contest with District’ Attorney Thomas E. Dewey in New York State in 1938 . Mr. Dunn predict­ ed that Governor Lehman would be elected with 50.3. per cent of the vote. He actually received 50.7 per cent. The Dunn Survey for August 1 of this year forecast correctly the result of the three Congressional elections held in Maine more than a month later. On the Senatorial election in Maine Mr. Dunn pre­ dicted that the' Republican candi­ date wonld receive not less than 55 per cent. The Republican vote later was reported as 58.3 uer cent. “The Ponity Hitler” M r. Willkie is ringing the changes on boss rule under New Deal muni­ cipal administrations.

' Good citizens will support the Re­ publican candidate in these deserved rebukes to gang-rule by machine po­ liticians in states and cities, No matter whether they are De­ mocrats. New Dealers, Republicans, Mugwumps or what-nots, such citi­ zens mnst inwardly confess that Mr. Willkie’s shafts are directed toward targets that ought to be blasted out of being in. American political man­ agement. Especially are Democrats under compulsion to support Mr. Willkie in this particular type of his campaign in the interest of consistency. When the Republicans used to be in power and boss-rule became some what widespread and notoriously of­ fensive. the Democrats made much over these conditions The argned, and with good cause, that this sort of political gangster­ ism was the antithesis of democracy and representative government, and fetched forth their best and biggest weapons of oratorical offenses a- gainst these conditions. Machine politics is reprehensible whether it is sponsored by Demo­ crats, Republicans or New Dealers. - And it is.a matter of common knowledge that political leaders in some of the states and larger citities of the country, who have been out in front in support of tbe New Deal leadership, have been on terms alto­ gether too influential and intimate with the leading factors of the Washington government and the Democratic party authority of the nation. They w eresm ongthe most vocal and powerful in factors behind the action of the Chicago convention. In their realms, whether their ma­ chines operate in state or metropoli­ tan cities, they are almighty and their word permit no impeachment nor appeal. Mr. Willkie is telling the people of the country something of 'these ne­ farious setups. He will be doing an eminent pub­ lic service if he exposes them to such a degree that they will tumbje of their own rottenness, whether in so doing, he' helps make himselp the Preddentof the United States or not.—Charlotte Observer. TH E DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. SE^SCREE HO By VIRGINU VALE!Released by Western Newspaper Union,) ACTORS usually dread work- j-lk ing with children on the lstage or in pictures because children, like animals, invari­ ably “steal” scenes. One cute gesture,.one little smile from a child can make an Academy [Award winner look like a piece |of furniture, so far as audiences [are concerned. ; Nevertheless the members of the [cast of "Shepherd of the Hills" were !delighted to have four-year-old Viri- :ta Campbell in their midst while lthey were on location in the San !Bernardino mountains. On location hours are usually very long, the rule being to shoot from daybreak to sun­ set to take full advantage of the natural light. Which means that ac­ tors, stars and all, get up at 5:30 or thereabouts. But In the eyes of the state labor law Virita is an infant, so she can’t start to work until 8 a. m. Conse­ quently the actors who worked with her got two extra hours of sleep every morning. They brought pres­ sure to bear on Director Henry Hathaway to extend her part so that it would last for the entire six weeks. Deanna Durbin’s new picture, “Spring Parade,” is a honey, chief­ ly because she, S. Z. Sakall and Henry Stephenson are in it. The story is just another of those Old Vienna things, but Henry Koster did a good job of directing, the entire F.B.I. Agents Put On Exhibition for Students Federal Bureau of Investigation agents giving a night-firing exhibition with Tommy guns, using tracei bullets, at their Quantico, Va., range. They also demonstrated quick-draw pistol shooting from the hips. Tht exhibition was given before the National Police academy graduates. \Royal Family of Luxembourg Is Reunited / DEANNA DURBIN cast—it includes Allyn Joslyn, Regi­ nald Denny, Robert Cummings and Franklin Pangborn—is good, and there are some lovely new songs. The grown-up Deanna is charming and sings beautifully, of course—and as the setting is what old Vienna al­ ways is in the movies, she sings an arrangement of the "Blue Danube.” Practically all the men stars in Hollywood were fired from perfectly good jobs before they turned to the movies. Preston Foster suspects that Nelson Eddy got the one he lost. Foster was working on a Philadel­ phia newspaper, selling classified advertising. He got extra jobs sing­ ing in .the chorus and in minor roles in the ta Scala Opera company. One day the boss dropped in at a mati­ nee, and there was Foster singing when he should have been out sell­ ing advertising! Meanwhile Nelson Eddy was working as a shipping clerk for an iron works company In the same city. He had a habit of bursting info song when he was working hard. The foreman couldn’t stand it, so he fired the singer, who promptly got a job on the Philadel­ phia paper that hadn’t appreciated Foster’s singing—the job was sell­ ing classified advertising. Robert Taylor was washing the inside of a windshield in a service station in Beatrice, Neb., when the rag slipped out of his hand and into . the lap of a lady. He fled, not wait­ ing to be fired. One of the nicest stories ever told about Hollywood has as its hero the late Grover Jmtes, author of many a successful movie scenario. Some years ago he and his wife, who were childless, went to The Cradle, in Chicago, to adopt one. The superintendent showed them hundreds of babies. “How about that one?” asked Jones, pointing to a child with crossed eyes. "That poor baby,” said the super­ intendent. “He’s been here longer than any of the others. Nobody wants him.” “We’ll take him,” said Jones. Today the child, after being giv­ en every advantage of medical treatment, is straight-eyed. And three years ago the Joneses had a little girl of their own. The popularity of a radio program can be judged by its CrosIey rat­ ing, or by' the price tickets to its broadcasts bring. They’re not sup­ posed to be sold, of course, but there is a well-organized group of neat, polite young men who beg people going into the broadcasts for their extra tickets. Westinghouse’s “Musical Americana” is now in the top rank, along with a few other regular, sponsored shows; its tick­ ets bring 75 cents. Tickets to Tos- canmi’s first broadcast brought as high as $50. S - f ' The royal family of Luxembourg is reunited at LaGuardia field, New Fork.

Irritability Often Due to Need of Food By DR. JAMES W. BARTON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) : G NE of the bits of knowledge wives and mothers have learned by experience is that i any serious matter is to be dis cussed, particu­ larly something unpleasant that has occurred dur­ ing the day, it is better not to dis­ cuss it unitl the husband and fa­ ther has finished his evening meal. Of course, nothing seri­ ous or unpleasant_should be dis­ cussed just before any meal, as the upsetment interferes with appetite and digestion. It is not alone for this reason— interfering with appetite or diges­ tion—that the wife and mother post­ pones the discussion, but because she knows that a hungry man (or woman) is more apt to be cranky or irritable than one who is not hungry. Physiologists tell us that hunger feel­ ings are caused by Dr. Barton *he contraction or movements of the walls of the stomach. As the stom­ ach becomes empty the walls con­ tract a number of times—10 to 25— after which they become quiet, for a while and then start the contrac­ tions again; then a quiet period, then contractions again. The “quiet” pe­ riod lasts from 10 minutes to one hour in the child and from one to three hours in an adult. Instead of pain, the adult has feel­ ings of weakness, tiredness and dis­ inclination to work. He doesn’t know he is hungry until he sees or 'smells food. The Five Meal Plan. Dr. Howard W. Haggard and Dr. Leon A. Greenberg, in their book; “Diet and Physical Efficiency,” state: “The feeling of fatigue and irritability that shows the need for food is not relieved by rest but it is relieved by food.” These re­ search workers were able to relieve “tiredness” and get from 10 to 15 per cent more work from shoe work­ ers by dividing the “usual” amount of food into five meals instead of I three. Food was thus given before the tired, irritable feelings occurred. “The man returning to his home in the evening, tired, irritable and dispirited from a ‘hard day’ at his work, finds no satisfaction or relief in rest obtained by waiting for his evening meal. Relief from irritabil­ ity, fatigue and depression comes only when the meal is eaten.” . . .

Address ................................................. IF a distinguished physician or * dentist were to say, “The one great objective of the Iffe of a den­ tist should be to save teeth,” most of us would agree. Dr. Earl H. Thomas, Chicago, a physician and dentist, in the Jour­ nal of the American Dental Asso­ ciation disagrees with the above quoted statement. He says “If there is one great objective in the life of a dentist, it should be to place the mouth of . his patient in a condi­ tion ,of health. AU else is second­ ary. General health and life, when they depend upon such a condition, are more important than all the teeth in the mouth.” A great number of individuals have abscessed teeth who apparent­ ly suffer no ill effects yet others have rheumatism followed by heart diseases due to just one tooth. Abscessed Teeth Lower Resistance. The man with many diseased teeth has had the great advantage of being able to use these teeth for years instead of having them re­ moved and artificial teeth inserted. Dr. Thomas points out that for every one person absorbing infection 'for many years with ho apparent Ul ef­ fects, many are in their graves pre­ maturely because they allowed this condition to exist. Most physicians and many dentists know of cases where abscessed teeth were the cause of rheumatism, heart dis­ ease, high blood pressure, inflam­ mation of the kidneys, peptic ulcer and other ailments. The general lowering of the body’s resistance to this steady pouring out of poisons is the cause of many “breakups” of individuals in their fifties and sixties.

Dr. Randolph Ray may be noting with interest that Jupiter and StarsSlipi Little Saturn are ■ ’ swing in gChurch A round th ro u g h a TheC arnerF irm which .hasn’t happened for some­ thing over 300 years. Dr. Ray keeps track of the stars and thinks it quite likely that his destiny “inclines” with theirs. For many years, he consulted the late Evangeline .Adams, the astrologer. He thinks it .quite reasonable that the affairs of men should be linked with the cosmic deeps. Jnpiter and Saturn, it hap­ pens, are backsliding, or retro­ grading, bnt Dr. Ray and The Little Charch Around the Corner are standing firm—largely due to the tolerance, social tact and humane understanding of the rector. It is said that in his youth he was impressed by Rob­ ert Browning’s invocation of a degree of humane worldliness among churchmen. Hiat might have been Fra Lippo Lippi. At any rate, Dr. Ray met the theater more than half-way in mak­ ing The Little Church the haven for its people, and also the romantic shrine of thousands of marriages. He is no off-hand marrying parson. He investigates all couples thorough­ ly and the rites of his church are never casually administered. Of southern birth, he was a “leg man” for the Brooklyn Eagle, and groped around the edges of law and medicine be­ fore he became a minister. Studies at Columbia university inclined him to the Episcopal ministry. After his ordination, he consulted Evangeline Adams. She told him he would go West and meet great success there. In Bryan, Texas, he became rec­ tor of St. Andrew’s church and later was dean of/St. Mathew’s cathedral at Dallas. He came to The Little Church Around the Comer, more formally The Church of the Transfiguration, in ,1923. With the years, he has taken on the appearance and de­ meanor of a British cleric, tall and dignified, conforming rigidly in all the requirements of the rubric, but less of a rigid conformist in every­ day friendly human intercourse. In­ clined to overweight, he keeps in trim by working in his 130-acre gar­ den at Litchfield. It was in 1870 that The Little Church Around the Corner became a famous marriage center. guests, and dark tunnels should put the guests in­ to the .spirit of the party.

JESUS DECLARES HIS MISSION LESSON TEXT—Luke 4:18-30.GOLDEN TEXT—For the' Son of man Is come to seek and to save that which was lost.—Luke 1P:10 . Ready for service! It’s an excit­ ing and auspicious occasion when the one who has prepared: for a life work is ready to set f$>£tli:.on his mission. Joy and sotyt)_wmingle; encouragement and opposition both appear add' become his constant companions. iRecoghizihg God and following His Word is of greatest importance on such a day. The mission upon whieh Jesus en­ tered on the day of our lesson was important far beyond any service of man, for, while He set out iipon an earthly ministry of doing good, it led to the cross where He wrought out deliverance for the captives of Satan. That day found Him back with His own people in the syna­ gogue in His home town. I. Prophecy Fulfilled (w . 16-22). It is significant and appropriate that Jesus’ declaration of Himself as the fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1, 2 was made in the synagogue on the Sab­ bath day. He met with the people in the house and at . the time set apart for God’s worship. He op­ posed spiritual deadness, the misin­ terpretation of the truth, the distor­ tion of religious principles; but He was not, as some would have us be­ lieve, a religious free' lance who despised the established worship of His people. Having been prepared by the years of silence, and more particu­ larly by the baptism and the tempta­ tion in the wilderness, He appeared at the synagogue in Nazaretii to de­ clare Himself as the fulfillment of prophecy. Those who teach that Jesus was only a young Jewish teacher with a new philosophy of life have evidently not read the Scriptures. He knew Himself to be God’s Son come into the world to bring the good news of salvation by His own blood to poor, sin-captive, blinded and bruised humanity. He is the Sav­ iour! Look at Isaiah 61:1, 2 and note that Jesus stopped reading before the end of the sentence. “The day of vengeance of our God” will come when Christ returns. This is the day of grace. Sinners are urged to accept God’s love now, and thus to escape the terrible day of judg­ ment.H. Faith Recognized (w . 23-27). The Jews gloried in the fact that they were the chosen people of God and insisted it was through the ex­ ercises of their formal worship that God’s blessing must be received. Now this one whom they erroneously call “Joseph’s son” (v. 22) comes to disturb them in their self-satisfac­ tion. Seeing their rising resent­ ment, He declares by striking words and example that the benefits and blessings of God come through faith and not because of any racial rela­ tionship. The glory of Christianity is that its grace and power are to be re­ ceived by faith and are fully and freely available to the simplest mid poorest of men. Race, position, wealth, education, have nothing to do with it AU too often they are a hindrance, although they ought rather to be a help. Every reader of these notes, re­ gardless of age, education, wealth or any. other condition or circum­ stance of life, stands on an equal footing before God and has a full and unlimited opportunity to take r ght now, by faith in Christ, aU that God has for him—salvation, spiritual strength and usefulness, j jy, peace, and aU the other bless­ ing cS God. WiU you do it? III. Truth Rejected (w . 28-30). Like a^torch cast into gunpowder, Eis words set off aU the explosive power of narrow bigotry, national pride, jealousy, and they were aU “(Uled with wrath” (v. 28), They rejected not only the truth of Eis words, but they rejected Him who is the Truth (John 14:6). Note it carefuUy—in rejecting or neglect­ ing His Word, you reject and neglect Him. Observe that until the time had come for IEm to be "deUvered” (Rom. 4:25) into the hands of wicked men to be crucified they could not touch Him. There is no more majestic scene than that in verse 30 where the Son of God turned at Uie brow of the hUl and, walking through the midst of the crowd, went His way.What have I to fear at the hands of wicked and gainsaying men- as long as I foUow this all-powerful Son ot God? . He that is for us and in us is greater than he (the devil) that is in the world (I John 4:4). We foUow the victorious Christ, who quietly but majestically walks through the ranks of His helpless Cneinies and goes “His way.” WiU you join us—today? ; - Be Temperate Woe to them that rise up early In the morning that they may foUow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them.—Isa. 5:11. tern D eAAAAAAAA A A V ''Mtr/Stfa’hi'V.Li Iiig N — J p ' “ I2 2 Z-B E P A R T M E N T and flannel are sm art for the jumper and bolero; linen, flat crepe or batiste for the blouse.* • • Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1222-B is de­signed for sizes 8, 10,12, 14 and 16 years.

SMOOT SHELTON Every rotten egg thrown at Mr. and Mrs. WiMkie means tbonsands of votes for W illkie next Tuesday. Let the eggs fly. Some fellow wanted to know w hat Mr Roosevelt had done for this country? He has got the coun­ try in debt to the tune of over fib, teen billion dollars, and has leg:;. Iized the sale of intoxicating Ii quors. Joe Lonis1 heavy weight boxing champion of the world, is m aking an appeal to all N egro voters in • the United States to vote for Wen dell W illkie for President. Good thing Joe didn’t say .that until af­ ter the registration books closed in N orth Carolina. From what we can see and bear there are a num ber of people on Federal Aid who think they have to vote a certain way or lose their jobs or old age pensions. T his is a m istake. Every American citizen who is elegibie to cast a vote, can vote for bis choice, regardless of w hat party be belongs to. Re ligiotis and political liberty is guar­ anteed to every American citizen. Mr. Roosevelt promised us eight years ago, if elected, that he would balance Ihe budget, reduce govern­ ment en pit'}" e- ar.d pin the ten million i ll-: m . : ;;;ck to work. No use to .vasie time telling you what a miserable failure iie made.

The c-mi-e Reptiblicrn countv nd sta c ticKei will be eiected if the Republicans will exercise their voiing privileges T here are more Renublicans in Davie than there are Democrats ALL SHOULD VOTE! Every man and woman in Davie county, who is qualified, should go to the polls next Tuesday and vote, regardless of party affiliations. This is the only way a free people have of expressing their opinion. We trust that the six thousand men and women in this county will vote as their conscience dictates, and not to please some man or set of men who are looking after the loaves and fishes. Every voter has the right to vote for the man of his choice, regardless of whether he works on a farm, in a mill ot factoiy, on the W PA or is beyond the working age and is living on a Federal pension. We have been informed that some voters think they should vote a cer­ tain ticket because they are employ­ ed bv the conntv, state or Federal government. This is a mistake. A man or woman has got a perfect right to vote his or her sentiments, regardless of what kind of job be or she bolds. ' A W PA worker doesn’t have to vote for Roosevelt, neither does a convict guard or a state highway worker have to vote for Broughton for Governor. This is a free country with a secret bal­ lot. Every person votes for the men of their choice and no one has the right to see your ballot. We are far fair and honest elections— elections free of intimidation and coercion. A man who would sterl your vote wonld steal your purse if he had half a chance. Go to the polls Tuesday and cast your ballot tor the men whom you believe would make the best officers. If this bunch of Negroes whose names have been put on the regis tration books hy Democratic regis trars should happen to vote the Republiciii ticket in November there would certainly be a bunch of sick Democrats in Davie- county In the distant past, when practical Iy all Negroes voted the Republi­ can ticket, we have seen Democra­ tic registrars refute to register Ne gro college professors and school teachers. Politics m akes strange bed-fellows. It mav all depend on how one votes. Carnival at Farmington.

Dear Mr. Stroodt-The people of Iowa don't want Mr. Wallace, and they are not going to support him. I should like to see every American who loves bis country, go to the noils on Nov 5th, and vote for Mr. Willkie. I have a farm, but I don’t want (Sir Roosevelt, neither do I want Mr. Wallace. Roosevelt and Wallace have already put the American people in a state of bank­ ruptcy that no one living today will ever see cleaned up. While I have not been a resident of North Carolina for 38 years. I still have friends there, and I appeal to all of them to vote for Mr. Willkie. Youra truly. HERBERT C. HOLMAN.

VAN DE WATBR i , i g CHAPTEff HI—Continued “It wasn’t completed,” Shannon replied. “If it had been we’d have been here an hour sooner; He was calling Police Headquarters when he was killed.” He plumped into his chair as though the weight of jumbled facts had pushed him over. “From three-thirty on, there was someone in the hall all the while?” “I think so. I left Higginsthere when I brought Miss Paget upstairs. Hoyt' was there when I went down again.” “And neither of them saw anyone go out,” he sharled like the victim of a practical joke. “And you didn’t?” “No.” He jumped up and.began to walk the room, his jaw hard.. Miss Aga­ tha, leaning forward in her Chair, watched him with the interest of-a spectator at play. “Could anyone leave without pass­ ing through the foyer?” Shannon threw at me: - “There’s the fire escape,” I sug­ gested, “or the dumb-waiter.” “Thanks,” he said savagely; “The fire escape hasn’t been used in months. I happened to think of that. And the dumb-waiter rope broke this morning and that tub of lard Hig­ gins hasn’t fixed it yet. Tet some­ body stabbed that guy next door and got away. How?” “Stabbed him with what?” I asked and only made him angrier. “If I knew,” he squalled, 'T d not be suffering here. A knife, you goof. A knife that was in this.” He darted to the desk and held a leather sheath, blackened by long wear, up before me. “Ever see that before?” he de­ manded.and, scarcely waiting for my ,denial, plunged' bn. “We found this under Blackbeard’s arm pit- empty. Where’s the knife? Gtme with the murderer.” The hands he ran so frantically through his reddish gray hair seemed at last to control his mind. He asked me suddenly: “Higgins had a key to that flat?” “Yes.” “Anyone else beside these Ferri- ters?” “I don’t think so.” “Higgins says, not,” he growled. "Higgins goes in and messes up that phone receiver with his big paws until there’s not a clear fingerprint on it. Wait a minute.” His eyes sparkled. “Where was Higgins when you took that call?” I saw Miss Agatha shift a little In her chair, start to speak and check herself. I .said: “Upstairs on the elevator.*? “Doing what?” I kept all feeling out of my voice. “He said he was fixing the water tank on the roof.” “You can go,” Shannon decided. "Jake, bring that big beef back here.” Miss Agatha said mildly as I rose: “Timothy was. on the fourth floor' Fm certain, Captain.” "Sure he was,” he agreed. uI just want to see if anyone saw him there.” He was pacing the floor again and the old lady was smiling oddly as Jake led me out. I felt Miss Agatha would confide In Shannon when I was gone. ‘ Hoyt was on the elevator. He looked at me hard but said nothing while Jake took me downstairs. Hig­ gins was arguing with a half-dozen men in the foyer and getting no­ where. I could tell they were re­ porters and the sight of them made me homesick. Higgins looked worse than I felt when Jake led him back to the car...His face was. gray and his eyes made me think of a steer in a slaughterhouse chute. I waited by the elevator sh'aft till Hoyt came down again.' With him was a po­ liceman who shooed the reporters off the settees and out of the door. I followed Eddie over to the switch­ board. . “You don’t think,” I asked and the words sounded-' foolish,- “that Hig­ gins is tied up in this thing?” “Be your age,” Hoyt advised me and then grinned. “The big boy lobks sick, don’t he?” “That’s what made me wonder.” “Look,” Eddie, muttered. “You know that smart little trick on the' fourth floor—Mrs. Araold’S'maid?^ Well, Mrs. Arnold’s out this after­ noon and Mrsi Higgins is away tUl tomorrow. And two and two makes—-” “Ah-hah!” I said. “Bight,” Hoyt agreed. "Higgins has got an alibi, all -right,- but I think, they’ll have to tear it out of him. .That’s,why be looks so sick.” "Well,” I told him, “an alibi is m alibi.” A half-hour went by.; A couple of the homicide men went away with their black, satchels, A few ’indig- Aant tennants worked through the : blockade1 beyond the -front door and ’ hurried along the foyer talking to themselves. Eddie turned the car over to BoOne of the night shift and went home, and Fineman, my relief, had just come in when Higgins came downstairs again. He looked sick till-he saw me and then, he looked hearty once more, “Hey,”' .he called. “You. Come Here.” I had been through a lot that aft­ ernoon and I suppose my mind had slowed'up. I really thought he want­ ed to thank me for saying he had been oij the roof,-do when he spoke I stood, and stared. His Voice sound­ ed as if he was afraid 'someone would overhear; but he could hhve been to angrier if he had screamed. VYou had your chance,” he told, me. “You* didn't want it, eh? AU right. I don’t want you. Get your things and scram." “Wait a minute,” I stalled. “If you’re canning me, what’s it for?” “After what Tve been through up­ stairs,” he wheezed and his big fists were clenched, “you’ve got the guts to ask that. Slandered me and a poor innocent girl, so ye did. You ought to thank me T m just kicking you out into the gutter where you belong,-instead of calling a cop.” His voice had got away from him.' A blond yoiing man—one of our ten- ar&s>: -but - I -didriT know which—, paused, an instant and stared at us before he went into the elevator. He looked so sleek and handsome and " I want my book to keep them from going Paget.” ‘ contented and sq much else I was not, that the anger Higgins had kin­ dled blazed up in me. I didn’t even try to keep my voice down. “You two-timing tomcat,” I told him. “Go ahead and kick me out and we’U see who lands in the gut­ ter first. Now get this, I never knew where you’d been this after­ noon tUl I came down'here. Now that I’m wise that leaves just one in the house who isn’t—Mrs. Hig- gms |M ‘Will you be still?” he asked in a hushed voice, and I knew from his eyes he was going to hit me. “Go ahead," I invited. “There’s plenty of reporters outside. It’ll make a B°od story. The tabloids will have pictures,, too. Oneofyou in' Wilson’s uniform, maybe.” I waited. He stood still and at last opened his mouth. I never found out what he was going to say for Fineman, at the switchboard, called: “Hey, Mallory. You’re wanted up in Three A right away.” “Don’t bother to pack for me,” I told Higgins. 'TH do it myself when I come down.” Boone, on the elevator, kept glanc­ ing at me as he took me up. Maybe I looked as sick as I felt. Anger is worse than liquor on an empty stomach. They had closed the door of the Ferriter fiat but there still was movement inside. I rang the Paget bell. The/girl in uniform I’d seen in-, the hall while' Miss Ferriter was screaming' let me in. She led me down the hall and stood aside at an open door. I started to enter but .astonishment stopped me. I could onlyV stahd ori'the threshold and stare Without 'belief. V .,, .. CHAPTiEB IV ■ MissAgathai Paget laid a red ten oh a black jack. A tall glass stood beside the cards on her table.. A cigarette- dangled . from , her lips.. Through its smoke her eyes shone bright as the diamond pin at the throat ot her black silk: goWn. ' She should have been Jmitting in­ stead of playing CanfiekLThe drink, the cards and the tobacco seemed as out of place as a cuspidor in cfiiifcb. She blew a.cloud from her nose, -ground out the cigarette on a tray, and nodded toward a. chair. “Come in, David,” she said. “Sit down.” '. . , - I obeyed.' She held a card above the. layout, placed it'and then looked square,at,me. If that is- an air of affronted pi­ ety,” She. told me, “I can get along Without it. When you’re my ajge, David, you’ll take to the small vices remaining, as compensation for, oth­ ers you’ve missed. Have a drink?” She looked toward a celiarette in the corner. Tshook iny head. Her sharply angled, eager face made me wonder whether the vitality de­ nied her crippled legs had not flowed -upward, to invigorate, the- rest; of -her. She took a long pull at. her glass and wiped her Ups on a lacy handkerchief. . “Grove,” she began, “tells me you’ve been discharged.”. ( I didn’t know Grove but I said: "I have. Tm supposed to have bared- the amours of the basement Casanova.” She gave her husky chuckle. “It was I who bared them. Only a remarkable man could he wrong as often as TSmothy.” She tinkled the ice in her glass, sipped it Bgaih 'and then looked straight at me. ' “What are you going to do?” “When you sent for me,” I said, "I was just going to take a poke at Higgins.” The wrinkles about her eyes deep­ ened. “You quote Kenneth Grahame; you want to punch Timothy. What ,other- recommendations have you?” I did not understand. She prompt­ ed. . “You’ve been a reporter. What else .can you do?” I could not see where all this led, but I answered: ■ ' “I’m a fair blocking halfback and a good fencer. . I also ride, swim and know a couple of card tricks.” “College, eh?” - I wondered if this was her . idea ol amusing herself. « 1 “B. A.” I told her. “The diploma is in Omaha. I also had: a Phi Beta key but I-haven’t now—there ' are rules against hoarding gold, you see. I can ransom my dress clothes though, if you feel you need a but­ ler. They’re in the trunk my former landlady is keeping for me. She in­ sisted on it.” I had begun to feel like a labora­ tory specimen under her regard. Ii bothered me. When Miss Paget asked: “Would you care to work for me?” I shook my head. “Kind of you,” I told her, “but I think not. I’ve got relatives in Ne­ braska if I want charity.” I think that surprised her- She lit another cigarette. , “My boy,” she said through a smoke cloud,' “I’m beginning to un­ derstand why Higgins doesn’t like you. It isn’t charity. People I help have to work for what they get. Is that clear?” . It wasn’t, but I nodded. She went on: “I’m working,-with Mr. Ferriter, on a genealogy of the Paget family, You’ve heard of the Pagets.” “Sorry,” I said and hoped my de­ nial would irk 'her. Instead she grinned'and for an instant it seemed time had worn her old face so thin that a valiant spirit shone through the mask. “Weren’t you lucky,” said Miss Agatha, "to have been raised in Ne­ braska? If you’ll stop being suspi­ cious, I’ve something to tell to you.” She finished her drink. Her eyes were bright and mocking. “Paget, David, isn’t just a family name. It’s a religion—a very exclu­ sive, comfortable religion. The only reason there wasn’t a Paget on the Mayflower is that the ship had no royal suite. There aren’t any D. A. R.’s or Sons of the Revolution among the Pagets. You see, the pa­ triots were rather a mixed lot. I was raised in the fear of Pagetrp and Fm doing a book about my fore* bears by way of reprisal. I need i man, preferably one who nevei heard of the Pagets, who can take what the heliotrope Mr. Ferriter digs up and write it. He can’t—or he’s afraid to.” “A genealogy is just a catalogue,” I told her. "You won’t seed a writ­ er.” I “Wrong air the way,” she told me briskly. "That’s just what I do need. There’s never been a genealo­ gy like this one. I’m prying the highly polished veneer off Pagetry. I’m going to tell the story of a fam­ ily that is foil of cowards and scoun­ drels and hypocrites and cheats and sluggards—like your family, like all families. I’m going to give as much space to my ancestors’ frailties as to their virtues. It’ll-be a.big book.” Again she 'gave that robust chuck­ le. I asked, defensively, for I felt her sweeping me along: ‘Who’ll dare to publish it?” ‘I will,” she said, and her teeth bit through an invisible thread. "One copy for each of the -Pagets. Most of them are too. far gone for the truth to reach .them, but I w ant my children to know all about Pagetry before they’re much older. They aren’t really my children, though I -raised them, -My -brother and sis­ ter-in-law died when Grosvenor was thirteen ;and Allegra ten. - “Grove is. working in a bond house for an ;he’s worth—which is about half of what he gets. AUegra is too pretty to Have brains, yet she has them. I want my book to keep them from going Paget.

QUESTION: I want to build ad open porch over an enclosed sun porch. It opens out from a bedroom which has three windows ; facing south. The three windows are set in one opening. What should be the construction of -the .flooring; materi­ al,. pitch 'and drainage? Which win­ dow should be made into the door? Should I provide a storm door for winter? Answer: The covering on a roof that- is to be walked-on can. be of a prepared canvas, made especially for the purpose. The minimum pitch of the roof should be: a quarter-inch to the foot. The surface and fram­ ing should be of rigid construction. The canvas should be laid over a No. -2 common flooring of pine, Sr or spruce, %-inch thick; not Over four inches wide, and must be tongue-and-groove. It should be smooth, with joints planed if nec­ essary. The canvas should be turned up or flashed four to six inches at the walls to insure water-tightness. The middle window is the one to be made into a door. You should by all means put on a storm door for the winter, and also provide good weather-stripping. Squeaking Stairs. Question: Stairs from my en­ trance hall creak and groan. Stairs are straight ascending in one un­ broken line. How can I cure the horrid noises that accompany each footfall? . Answer: That squeaking is from the springing or arching of the treads away from the risers. If the under side of the stairs is open, tighten the wedges that secure the ends of the treads in the: grooves of the side pieces; drive them in with a hammer. Otherwise, standing on a tread to weight it down, drive two-inch finishing nails through the tread near,, the front edge, so that they go into the riser.' 'Nails should be driven in pairs at opposite an­ gles. -Sink the heads below the sur­ face with a nailset and fill the holes with wood putty. Befinisbing a House. Question: The walls of my stucco house are cracked in several places, and I am anxious to reflnish the walls. I am considering brick ve­ neer,' asbestos siding or wood sid­ ing. - Which of the three would you advise? Is it possible to refinish the ■walls without tearing down the stucco? Answer: All three materials are very satisfactory as wall coverings. The first two, of course, will re­ quire little or no maintenance. As to the choice between the brick and siding, a great deal depends on the style of the house. H you se­ lect brick veneering, the present stucco would not have to be re­ moved; but for the siding, it would be better to remove the stucco. Outdoor Fireplaces. Question: How can I build a- small outdoor fireplace? I have a cabin in the country, and we are anxious to cook steak in the open. Where can I get information on mixing ce­ ment? Answer: Popular Science Month­ ly, 353 Fourth avenue, New York city, has information on this; illus­ trations and directions. For infor­ mation on mixing cement, apply to the Porttand Cement association, 347 Madison avenue, New York city, or to the Chicago office at 33 West Grand avenue. The association has published an excellent pamphlet called “Concrete Improvements Around the Home.” : W a te r p r o o f in g B r ic k W a ll. Question: What can I use to wa­ terproof the outside of a brick wall? My neighbor'does , not want me to use black.because it faces her yard. Black seems to be the cheapest wa­ terproofing. Answer: A cement composition paint is very satisfactory, providing the bricks have not been previously painted with an oil or asphalt paint. A black asphalt paint, of course, does not help the appearance of the wall Rubber Flooring. A correspondent sends me a sam­ ple of the flooring in his dining room, and asks for the best mrthod of cleaning it. Answer: The material is rubber, which can be cleaned by mopping with dear water. It can also be waxed, but care should be taken to use a bright drying water wax; not paste or liquid wax, for these con­ tain oils and solvents that are in­ jurious to rubber. Making Insect Screens. Question: Where can I get instruc­ tions for-making insect screens for my windows and front porch? Answer: The making of screens of all kinds at home is wen covered in a pamphlet issued by the Copper & Brass Research- association, 420 Lexington avenue, New York city, that can be had for the asking.

The national debt is the big po­ litical issue among farmers accord­ ing to Simon E. Lantz, nationally known breeder of purebred cattle at Congerville, HI., and president of the Aberdeen-Angus Breeders' Asso­ ciation. “Some people say that since Wen* dell WiUkie has indorsed the prin­ ciples of the New Deal farm pro­ gram that there is no issue be­ tween the two presidential candi­ dates so far as the fanner is con cemed,” said Mr. Lantz. “Most farmers know better. They know that on the debt and on the third term the cleavage between the two candidates is fundamental “Mr. Roosevelt, when elected in 1932, charged previous administra­ tions with extravagance and pledged himself to a program of economy. What has happened? In the first three years of his administration the New Deal spent as much as the first twenty-four presidents com­ bined had spent in the first 122 years of this government’s life, and dup­ ing that time we had several wars to finance. “Mr. Roosevelt promised to {dace the cost of government upon the shoulders of those most able to pay. In 1930, the wealth of the nation was paying 69 per cent of govern­ mental costs and the laborers, farm­ ers and common people were paying 31 per cent. But last year we found that the wealth of the nation was paying only 39 per cent while the ordinary people were paying 61 per cent. That is how Mr. Roosevelt took care of the forgotten man and soaked the rich. “It is beginning to come home to farmers that they are paying a large share of the wastage of money in Ihe Roosevelt administration, just as is everyone else. They are paying in the form of hidden taxes. For in­ stance, on grains, there is a hidden tax cf three cents on every loaf of bread. On a $4.00 pair of shoes it is 79 cents. “On large items which the farm­ er must buy the tax cost is tre­ mendous. Deere & Co., manufac­ turer of farm implements, was com­ pelled to pay almost $600 per man in taxes in 1939 for every man they employed. “The wastage and extravagance of the Roosevelt administration has placed in hock twenty-five out of every 160 acres of farm land in the entire United States. “I find farmers much attracted by the statement of Wendell Willkie that he will make no changes in the present farm program except to im­ prove it, that he will return the ten million unemployed to the payrolls and thus increase the purchasing power of the farmer’s market, and that he will conduct the national defense program and the ordinary business of government on a busi­ ness-like basis. “With the wastage of the Roose­ velt administration in mind and the threat of perpetuation of power through the third term, farmers are finding there actually are fundamen­ tal issues in the present campaign." Mrs. Willkie Greets Rowdies With SnuIe Mrs. Wendell Willkie likes cam­ paigning. It’s fun, she says, and not half as fatiguing as she expected. Her first cross-country political campaign trip was' “so interesting.” “The crowds are enormous and there’s much Interest in their faces —so much interest that it interests me to watch them,” she said. Rowdyism, throwing of eggs and other things at the presidential can­ didate and his party, do not dis­ turb Mrs. Willkie. 1 “There’s been very little' of it,” she said. “On the whole, everyone has shown such enthusiasm. Of course, it is sad to see prejudices aroused to such an extent that peo­ ple throw an egg at someone who has done nothing but smile at them.” No Farm Recovery Here The major objective of the New Deal’s foreign trade policy was to increase exports of American farm surplus. The dollar value of our ag­ ricultural exports, however, declined 9.2 per cent between the fiscal years 1932 and 1939. Non-agricultural ex­ ports, on the other hand, increased 90 per cent in dollar value during this period. Total exports increased in that period SI per cent in dollar value. In terms of volume our agri­ cultural exports declined 36 per cent between the fiscal years 1932 and 1939. The volume of our cotton ex­ ports declined 58 per cent; wheat and flour exports 15 per cent; cured pork 22 per cent, and lard 56 per cent. Who Will Pay It? On March 4, 1940, after seven years of Roosevelt New Deal defi­ cits, the Federal debt was $42,380,- 600,000, an increase of $21,143,000,000 since March 4, 1933, or 102.4 per cent. This was $6,000,000,000 more than the total value of all farm land, buildings and livestock in the United States as reported in the 1935 farm census. If all the real property sub- iect to the property tax in all States est of the Mississippi River could sold for its assessed value, the ’.I amount realized would not pay ‘he present Federal debt. Plays Politics With Defense Willbie Charges New Deal Incompetence Leads To War. Wenddl WUIkle WendeU L. WHUde, returning to Philadelphia where in response to an unprecedented popular demand he was made-the Re­ publican nominee for President in June, warned the American people that they are drift­ ing toward war un­ der a government: which is incompe­ tent to build an adequate defense in these perilous times. After citing specific instances of unpreparedness and incompetence, Mr. Willkie declared: “We must stop this drift toward war. We must stop this incompe­ tence. Fellow Americans, I want to lead the fight for peace. I know how to lead that fight. I will lead this nation back to work. The first step toward peace is to put a job in every home. The second step toward peace is to mobilize American industry for the production of armaments. “There is a false notion that, our defense problem is a recent prob­ lem; that it came upon us suddenly. The fact is that the New Deal has known for years that we were f aped' with this problem. Tlie third term candidate told Congress in January, 1936, that America must save itself from foreign quarrels and foreign at­ tack thru adequate defense. Today —nearly five years later—attack is closer than ever and America is stUl unsafe; our defense is still in­ adequate. “What is the reason for our un­ preparedness? The New D ed has not ladced information. Thru the state department and the army and navy, its total knowledge regarding foreign powers and military devel­ opments has been as good as any in the world. The New Deal has not tacked money. In Otese five years it has spent a total of 43 billion dol­ lars. What then has it lacked? It has lacked the ability to get things done. It has lacked a fundamental understanding of the forces of pro­ duction. It has lackeid a fundamental regard for the forces that make de­ mocracy strong. "The reason for our failure to build a modem, defense system is that the New Deal theorists and the New Deal politicians blocked the creative forces of our people. They could have provided new jobs for thousands of young men Iqr build­ ing American aircraft production up to defense requirements. Instead, they kept those thousands idle on the relief rolls. Relief was politically more attractive than defense. “You know and I know that the system of free enterprise can out­ strip any dictator on earth. The slave labor of modem Europe cannot compete with free men, well fed, well housed, and working reasonable hours. I have eamied my bread both as a worker and as a manager. I know what free men can do. Giv­ en a chance to work, American labor and American industry can outstrip the world. "So long as money and political power remain its only remedies, the Roosevdt administration will be in­ competent to achieve defense. The able men on the national defense advisory council are handicapped because the third term candidate has kept all the power in his own hands. ThelongertheUnitedStates remains incompetent to defend it­ self, the closer we are drawn to­ ward war. We must stop that drift toward war. We must stop that in­ competence. I want to lead the fight for peace. I plead with you to join me in building a new America, so strong, so full of hope, that wj can keep the peace that we want, the democracy that we want, and the liberties that we want.” Ho Stands for Peace A Sympathetic Visitor This is how Wendell'Willkie, Re­ publican candidate for president, looked in 1917 when he volunteered for service as a private in the army one month after the United States declared war. After four months of intensive training he was commis­ sioned a lieutenant, then spent a year in training camps in this coun­ try and served several months un­ der fire in France. Having first-hand knowledge of the horrors of war, Mr. Willkie has made this solemn pledge to the American people: “If you elect me president I give you my word of honor I will never send an American boy to the sham­ bles of the trenches of a European war.” More Jobs, Less Taxes Is Willkie’s Pledge “It is absolutely impossible,” Wen­ dell Willkie, Republican candidate for president, declares, “for a govern­ ment, to go on supporting a grow­ ing number of unemployed. Some­ body has to pay the bill. And that bill is going to be paid by those who have jobs. “The average income per individ­ ual in the United States last year was only $540. The average tax paid per individual was $110. One-OCth of our national income goes for taxes. And the biggest item on Uie tax bill, aside from defense, is re­ lief for tiie unemployed. Taxes don’t anywhere near cover it. So the New Deal borrows the money. "In seven and one-half years it has borrowed $22,000,000,000. This can’t go on indefinitely. The one and only remedy for this increasing pub­ lic debt is jobs. “Now what makes jobs? Business makes jobs. Little business, big busi­ ness, corporations, partnerships and small companies. Under our sys­ tem if we are going to have jobs we have got to have employment. Measured by the standard of our growth' (1900 to 1929) we are short about 700,000 enterprises, short 700,- 000 employers.’’ “The New Deal has helped make unemployment by picking on busi­ ness. Under the New Deal the em­ ployer who puts up money to make a profit has been in the dpg-House. 1 am not interested in profits as such. I am not interested in em­ ployers as such. But I am interested in both employers and'profits as a means of making jobs for those who are unemployed, better jobs for those employed.” y WENDELL WILLKIE £4 9 4* “In failing to establish recovery, the New Deal has failed the farmer. Factory payrolls and farm income rise and fall together. When farm income is up, farmers buy more manufactured products, and thereby MORKiaaINCOME^ 194 Z 1943 1944 BTc.

This pledge is . just as important to the farmer as I it is to the business man. And I j know how to fulfill it. I will, with ] your hdp, bring this nation of ours i together.” WENDELL WILLKfE £iffej.* “Government employment has in­ creased nearly 100 per cent. Gov­ ernment expenditures have in­ creased nearly 200 per cent, now amounting to over nine billion dol­ lars. Government borrowing, has in­ creased over 150 per cent. Here is a real political boom. Here is one '\ Overloaded! activity in which the enterpriser has become, both rich and powerful. But all this has been accomplished at the expense of the people, who have paid for it not only in taxes but in the losses which their enterprises , have suffered as a result of this gov- i eminent activity.” . 7 I RADIOS b a t t e r i e s -s u p p l i e s Expert Repair Service YOUNG RADIO CO.
